Description
Minneapolis Economic Development & Regulatory Services Committee Meeting
A
Good
afternoon
welcome
to
the
regularly
scheduled
meeting
of
the
economic
development
and
regulatory
Services
Committee
for
today,
March
27th.
We
also
have
noted,
as
a
public
hearing
a
joint
meeting
of
the
zoning
and
planning
committee,
as
well
as
the
housing
policy
and
Development
Committee.
As
you
can
see,
there
is
not
a
quorum
for
the
economic
development
of
regulatory
services
committee,
so
we'll
leave
the
cameras
on
and
we'll
sit
here
and
wait
until
two
of
our
colleagues
have.
The
ability
to
join
us.
A
I
will
note
that
council
member
Cano
is
out
sick
today,
so
we
are
waiting
on
quorum
for
our
own
committee
as
well
as
sounds
like
housing
policy
and
zoning
and
planning
does
have
quorum
with
the
committee.
Thank
you,
chair,
Schrader,
with
myself,
council
member
Ellison
and
council
member
Ike,
so
we'll
wait
on
quorum
for
economic
development.
I
profoundly
apologize
for
this.
A
Thank
you,
everyone
very
much
for
your
patience.
Unfortunately,
we
still
don't
have
quorum.
All
that
we
have
been
joined
by
the
mayor.
So
I
want
to
thank
the
mayor
for
coming
today,
because
every
we're,
using
up
so
much
of
everybody's
time,
I'd
like
to
take
up
item
number
9,
which
is
a
presentation
from
twin
cities,
rise
for
their
fair
chance,
housing
toolkit
and
just
get
a
sense
of
what
they're
doing
I'm
sure
everybody
would
like
to
learn
what
you're
doing
and
we'll
go
ahead
and
approve
the
memorandum
of
understanding
when
we
finally
get
quorum.
Mr.
B
B
A
B
Some
things
to
say
now
so
number
one.
Thank
you
for
having
us
here.
Twin
cities
rise
the
nonprofit
organization,
that's
been
around
for
25
years,
helping
people
who
are
very,
very
low-income,
trained
for
and
attained
long
term
employment.
We've
always
focused
on
african-american
men,
particularly
people
with
criminal
history,
and,
as
we
know,
right
now,
the
city,
Minneapolis
and
employers
throughout
the
state
of
Minnesota
face
a
critical
workers
shortage.
Yet
at
the
same
time,
we
have
people
sitting
on
the
sidelines
unemployed
for
a
mistake.
B
They
may
be
made
10
years
ago,
15
20
years
ago,
so
we
have
people
sitting
on
the
sidelines,
employers
saying
they
want
people
in
the
game,
and
we
have
a
proposal
in
front
of
you
today
for
the
city
of
Minneapolis
to
sponsor
what
is
truly,
probably
one
of
the
most
unique
I
think
employment
opportunities.
The
state
has
seen
in
many
years
is
what
we've
done.
The
Twin
Cities
Rises
we
reached
out
to
an
organization
called
routes
and
rebound
routes
and
rebound
is
based
in
San,
Francisco
California.
B
They
have
a
group
of
lawyers
who
look
at
laws
and
practices
and
regulations,
and
they
decipher
through
all
of
them
and
say
all
the
reasons
that
employers
have
stated
over
the
many
years
why
they
can
hire
people
with
criminal
history
are
largely
not
true.
There's
a
lot
of
Mythology
and
a
lot
of
baggage
around
people,
who've
made
a
mistake
with
their
life,
and
employers
have
erected
barriers
to
their
employment.
B
So
it's
critical
at
this
particular
point
in
our
time
that
we
say
as
a
state
as
a
city
that
people
who've
made
a
mistake
in
their
paths,
have
were,
and
they're
worthy
of
employment
in
their
future.
So
think
about
that,
if
you're,
a
young
man
or
woman
like
myself-
and
you
made
a
mistake,
you
ended
up
doing
time
now
for
the
rest
of
your
life.
You're
gonna
be
told
you
can't
be
employed.
B
Think
about
that.
You
know
what
that
means
and
what
it
does
to
your
hope
and
your
spirit
right.
So
what
we
see
at
Twin,
Cities
rise,
it's
thousands
of
people
come
to
us
every
year.
Say
I
really,
don't
know
that
I
could
ever
have
a
job.
I,
don't
know
that
I'm
worthy
of
a
job
I've
been
told
no
over
and
over
and
over
again.
What
we
say
to
them
is
you
do
have
Worth.
You
will
find
a
job,
so
the
average
income
coming
into
our
program
last
year
was
less
than
$500
upon
graduation.
B
It
was
over
$30,000.
Sixty-Five
percent
of
the
people
who
came
to
us
had
criminal
history,
some
of
it
murder
some
of
its
smoking,
a
joint
right.
So
it
doesn't
matter
to
us.
We
don't
make
that
judgment.
What
we
say
is
you
have
Worth,
you
have
dignity,
and
if
you
commit
to
yourself,
we
will
help
you
get
employment,
that'll
change
your
life
forever,
economic
self-sufficiency
right.
So
that's
what
we
do
and
that's
at
the
core
of
what
we
do.
B
So
this
employer
guide
that
we're
getting
ready
to
unveil
in
the
state
of
Minnesota
is
a
definitive
guide
for
HR
people
for
city
states,
corporations,
private
and
nonprofit
to
say
we
can
hire
people
with
criminal
history.
We
can
help
people
get
back
to
work,
who
deserve
a
second
chance
with
their
life
and
that's
what
the
fair
chance
hiring
guide
is
all
about.
I
would
really
be
honored
at
the
city
of
Minneapolis
would
be
a
co-sponsor
along
with
McKnight
the
state
of
Minnesota,
the
Department
of
Human
Rights
and
many
many
many
others.
B
So
thank
you
for
giving
me
this
opportunity.
I
want
to
introduce
my
colleague,
Jacqueline
carpenter
and
may
I
also
say,
may
also
say
that
the
staff
at
Sipan,
particularly
Marie
Larson
and
fr
Hogan,
have
been
incredible
partners
as
soon
as
we
approached
the
city.
They
said.
Yes,
we
were
interested.
We
want
to
partner
with
you,
so
I
want
to
commend
them
both,
and
thank
you
for
your
time
are.
A
C
You
we
very
much
appreciate
your
considerations.
I've
spent
20
years
in
the
private
industry,
helping
employers
build
staffing
strategies,
often
they're,
saying
no,
and
overlooking
many
people
that
are
still
on
the
sidelines.
This
tool
guide
will
provide
resources
for
them
and
how
to
let
them
enter
into
the
workforce.
So
there's
really
a
how
to
Minnesota
put
band
the
Box
in
place.
This
is
really
the
second
step.
C
It's
allowing
them
to
get
innovative,
what
they're,
creating
and
creating
pathways
for
hiring
instead
of
saying
no
with
a
standard
policy,
this
allows
them
to
have
multiple
policies
within
the
same
company.
We
feel
that
it's
really
innovative,
because
employers
haven't
yet
figured
out
how
to
address
the
population,
and
it's
been.
It
would
be
the
third
state
in
the
country
to
have
this
employer
guide
and
we
know
there's
many
to
follow.
So
we
do
believe
this
is
innovative
and
we
would
appreciate
your
sponsorship.
C
A
Seeing
none
thank
you
very
much
for
being
here
today.
I
would
move
approval
of
the
Memorandum
of
Understanding,
but
we
don't
have
quorum
so
we'll
do
that
as
soon
as
we
achieve
quorum.
Thank
you
for
your
help,
given
that
we
can't
take
up
any
other
business
on
our
entire
agenda
or
the
Joint
Committee
agenda,
we'll
just
wait
until
we
have
quorum.
If
we
don't
have
quorum
by
2
o'clock,
we
will
cancel
the
meeting
thanks.
A
Thank
you
to
the
quick
thinking
of
my
colleagues.
We
actually
do
have
quorum
of
the
Housing
Policy
Development
Committee,
as
well
as
zoning
and
planning
so
I'm,
going
to
go
ahead
and
call
those
two
meetings
to
order
and
we're
going
to
move
forward
with
the
public
hearing
so
that
we
don't
make
anyone
wait
any
longer
and
I
will
note.
The
chair
of
zoning
and
planning
is
with
us,
as
well
as
the
vice
chair
of
housing
policy.
Development
I
also
serve
on
both
of
those
committees.
A
So
I'm
going
to
open
the
public
hearing
on
item
number,
one
of
the
zoning
and
planning
committee
as
well
as
item
number
one
of
the
housing
policy
development
committee,
which
is
the
nomination
of
David
Frank
as
our
Community
Planning
and
Economic
Development,
Director
and
I,
will
call
on
the
mayor.
Should
he
want
to
say
a
few
words
first.
Mr.
mayor
thank.
A
So
I
guess
what
we'll
do
is
we'll
open
the
public
hearing
on
item
number
1,
which
is
the
appointment
of
the
Director
of
Community
Planning
and
economic
development.
I
have
six
people
signed
up
in
advance,
starting
with
Dan
dan,
followed
by
Luke,
Sara,
Ravi
and
Angelo,
who
I
have
know
all
of
them,
so
I
would
refer
to
them
by
their
first
names
as
well
as
Patrick.
If
there
are
other
people
here
to
speak,
feel
free
to
just
get
in
line.
We
would
ask
you
to
try
to
stick
to
about
two
minutes.
Mr.
Collison
welcome.
E
I've
witnessed
David
model
and
expanding
leadership.
Skill
set
needed
for
this
current
nominee
nominated
role
for
the
city
and
in
light
of
the
new
and
ever-changing
challenges
of
economic
development
in
our
time
and
the
threats
and
opportunities
facing
us
as
we
seek
to
be
more
diverse
and
equitable
and
inclusive
city
I
believe
David
brings
unique
capacity
to
be
both
externally
focused
toward
the
community
in
program
design
and
internally,
mindful
to
the
enterprise.
E
Such
the
practical
solutions
can
be
explored
and
measurable
outcomes
attained.
Most
importantly
and
I
think
this
is
most
importantly,
he's
accessible
to
him
to
his
staff,
to
the
leaders
in
the
community
and
I
believe
that
he's
clear
minded
and
creatively
sensible
about
the
ways
the
city
can
partner
and
find
leverages
with
leading
nonprofits
philanthropy
and
businesses
who
are
poised
and
positioned
to
work
with
the
city
Enterprise
in
accomplishing
our
collective
implementation
goals,
as
we
lean
into
your
new
and
our
new
2040
comprehensive
plan
and
a
vision,
I
fully
and
wholeheartedly
recommend
into
this
position.
Thank.
G
Madam
chair
council
members,
mr.
mayor,
thank
you
for
hearing
for
me
today,
I'm
here,
to
speak
in
support
in
favor
of
David
Frank,
as
the
new
director
of
steep
ed,
I've,
known
David
for
nearly
20
years
and
I
will
tell
you
that
I
think
he
brings
the
best
of
both
worlds
in
many
capacities.
First
of
all,
he's
of
this
community.
He
knows
this
community.
He
knows
the
people.
He
knows
the
issues
that
we're
facing,
but
he's
also
lived
and
worked
elsewhere
and
has
networks
and
experience
elsewhere.
H
Well,
madam
chair
and
City
Council
members,
I'm
Robbie
Norman,
the
CEO
of
Thor
companies,
believe
we
are
the
state's
largest
ethnic
minority,
owned
business
or
developer
designer
and
builder
well.
I've
had
the
privilege
of
working
with
david
frank
for
about
six
years
more
actively
in
our
organizations.
Work
with
david
for
a
long
period
of
time.
I
found
him
to
be
very
transparent.
I
have
found
them
to
be
a
really
good
communicator
to
Sara's
point
a
great
listener.
I've
found
them
to
be
very
competent.
H
Someone
who
knew
the
issues
understood
policy,
understood
precedents
and
was
able
to
communicate
that
very
clearly,
so
they
had
business.
People
like
myself
can
make,
hopefully
very
cogent
decisions.
I
think
he
is
of
the
community.
I
think
he
wants
to
do
what's
best
for
the
city.
I
think
he
also
knows
how
to
balance
a
lot
of
different
cooperative
interests
and
shared
interest
and
I
would
highly
recommend
him
for
the
position
of
executive
director
of
seabed.
I
Thank
you,
madam
chair
City,
Council
I'm,
also
speaking
in
support
of
david
frank
for
the
director
of
seedbed,
I,
can't
repeat
more
of
what
has
been
said,
but
from
a
clear
transparency
point
David
allows
those
in
the
community
who
want
to
dream
and
invest
and
be
innovative,
but
he
also
grounds
everyone
for
the
sense
of
reality
of
what
can
and
cannot
be
done,
based
on
timelines
and
expectations.
I
think
one
of
the
biggest
things
for
the
business
community
is
about
clarity,
about
what
the
risks
are
and
what
the
limitations
are
going
in.
I
J
Madam
chairwoman,
council
members,
mr.
mayor,
thank
you
for
this
opportunity,
but
I
think
I
can
keep
this
very,
very
short,
I
believe
that
was
signing
up.
It
was
a
sign-up
sheet,
so
I
don't
have
a
lot
to
say
other
than
I
have
heard
I'm
here
in
support
of
mr.
Frank
for
the
directorship
and
I
believe
you
do
a
wonderful
job,
based
on
many
things
that
I've
heard
about
him
through
our
company
and
other
people
throughout
the
years
in
downtown
Minneapolis.
Thank
you
thank.
K
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity,
so
I
run
common
roots
cafe
and
for
the
last
ten
years,
I've
been
doing
business
in
Minneapolis
and
I've.
Had
the
pleasure
of
working
with
many
of
you,
I
have
had
limited
experience,
working
with
David
I
stand
here,
not
to
support
him,
but
also
not
to
oppose
his
nomination
and
Confirmation.
Now
I
really
want
to
emphasize
the
needs
that
I
see
we
have
for
this
department
and
the
needs
that
as
I
expect
he'll
be
confirmed.
He'll
mr.
K
Frank
will
be
facing
and
I
hope
that
that
you'll
all
work
with
with
him
actively
to
help
drive
the
city
forward
with
the
mayor
as
well.
I
see
a
tremendous
need
to
support
small
businesses
in
a
much
more
active
way.
We
know
that
small
businesses
create
a
large
portion
of
the
jobs
in
the
city.
We
know
that
they're
a
key
gateway
to
help
people,
especially
people
of
color
and
low-income
people,
step
up
out
of
poverty
and
out
of
difficult
situations.
K
It's
much
much
harder
for
a
large
large
portions
of
our
community
that
need
their
support,
see
pet
is
missing
very,
very
basic
programs.
We
don't
have
support
for
access
to
capital
way
that
reaches
many
people
without
the
support
of
a
bank,
and
unfortunately,
banks
too
often
do
not
provide
the
loans
that
people
need
to
get
jobs
going.
We
don't
have
support
for
finding
locations.
K
We
don't
have
other
kinds
of
very
basic
programs
to
help
us
deal
with
the
challenges
that
development
faces,
which
is
an
opportunity,
but
also
a
challenge
for
many
in
our
communities
and
the
need
is
really
pressing.
So
it's
not
personal
experience
with
David
or
any
kind
of
particular
concerns,
but
I'm
concerned
about
the
future
of
the
department
and
I
do
very
much
hope
that
this
will
be
a
new
day.
Well,
we'll
see
a
real
focus
from
everyone
in
a
community,
especially
all
the
council
and
the
mayor
and
and
mr.
K
Franca's
and
his
new
role
to
really
step
up
and
make
this
be
a
new
day
where
the
change
happens
right
away.
We
don't
need
lots
of
studies,
we've
done
studies,
we
see
pressing
need.
We
need
action
that
pretty
quickly
confronts
these
challenges,
that
are
that
are
making
it
more
challenging
for
people
to
start
businesses,
especially
as
we
see
the
minimum
wage
increase
and
we
see
or
in
second
save
time,
both
things
that
are
very
strongly
support.
We're
expecting
more
of
our
business
community
more
from
our
small
businesses.
K
We
really
need
to
step
up
and
make
that
support
come
every
day
and
come
and
out
of
C
ped
as
a
leadership
and
not
I'd
love
to
see
leadership
coming
from
that
department
to
try
and
confront
these
challenges,
and
it's
not
to
say
that
there
aren't
people
who
have
been
working
on
these
things.
Many
of
you
have
very
very
actively
been
working
on
these
issues.
Many
staff
have
worked
hard.
It's
not
to
say
that
does
not
change
happening.
It's
just
not
at
the
pace
that
the
the
need
is
is
so
thank
you
for
that.
L
L
Oh
yeah,
there's
these
grants
available
and
there's
this
access
to
capital.
But
for
me
it
was
a
little
too
late.
I
mean
I
would
strap.
We
had
actually
a
pretty
awful
experience
with
our
first
lending.
Our
first
lending
experience
was
pretty
scary
and,
and
it
cost
us
a
ton
of
money
and
lawyer
fees
and
I
really
wish
that
I
would
have
known
about
some
of
the
programs
before
that
as
entrepreneurs
there's
not
a
lot
of
time
to
spend,
going
out
and
actively
seeking
and
digging
through.
L
You
know,
pages
and
pages
on
the
Internet
to
try
to
get
access
to
the
information
that
could
have
been
really
useful
and
also
add
some
pivotal
times
we
switch
tonight.
You
know
the
three
years
back.
We
switched
ninety
employees
over
from
contracts
to
employees.
We
also
are
happy
to
pay
sick
and
save
time
work
where
we
want
to
benefit
our
employees.
But
I
can
tell
you
in
this
environment
right
now
trying
to
benefit
120.
People
is
no
small
feat,
so
you
know
those.
L
You
know
those
programs
that
we
have
and
I
would
love
to
see
some
programming
or
at
least
outreach
I,
don't
I
know
nobody
has
ever
reached
out
to
me
as
a
business
owner
employing
over
100
people
in
this
town
playing
lots
of
taxes.
I
have
never
reached
out
to
you
from
Steve
header
had
any
communication
about
any
of
the
programs
that
might
be
available
when
we
scaled
recently.
That's
another
point:
it's
not
just
at
startup
but
scaling.
L
It
can
be
a
really
like
really
scary
time
for
a
business,
because
if
you
don't
do
it
right,
if
you
don't
get
the
access
to
capital,
you
need
when
you
need
it,
things
can
go,
can
go
wrong.
You
have
to
let
people
go.
So
thank
you
for
your
time.
I
I
just
also
wanted
I,
don't
I,
don't
know
mr.
Frank
personally,
I
just
I
want
I
would
love
to
see
more
I
would
love
to
see
more
outreach.
I
would
love
to
see
more
for
the
small
business
community
in
Minneapolis.
Thank.
A
So
first
I'll
note
that
we've
been
we've
been
joined
by
councilmember
Gordon,
which
is
a
quorum
of
the
EDR
s
committee.
So
I
will
officially
open
the
public
hearing
now
for
a
DRS
also
and
see,
if
there's
anyone
else
here
to
speak
to
this
issue,
which
is
the
appointment
of
David
Frank
as
the
c-pen
director.
Is
there
anyone
else
here
to
speak
to
this
issue
besides
mr.
Frank
anyone
anyone?
Mr.
Frank
the
floor
is
yours.
M
Good
afternoon,
madam
chair
committee,
members
mayor,
thank
you
everyone
for
being
here
today.
I'm
really
excited
to
be
here.
I.
Thank
you,
mayor
for
making
this
a
possibility.
I
love.
This
city
I,
have
had
a
chance,
as
interim
director,
since
this
past
August,
to
work
with
a
great
great
staff
at
Sipan
and
across
the
enterprise
to
help
grow
this
city
and
do
great
things
along
the
way.
M
Like
last
week,
released
our
draft
comp
plan
focus
on
affordable
housing
with
you,
madam
chair
and
others
of
you,
who
care
a
great
deal
about
affordable
housing
and
the
other
things
that
C
ped
does
and
I
am
very,
very
excited
about
working
with
you
with
the
staff,
with
the
rest
of
it,
with
the
staff
across
the
enterprise
to
find
new
ways
to
serve
our
businesses
and
our
residents
in
all
the
ways
that
make
Minneapolis
great
and
even
inventing
some
new
ones.
So
I
look
forward
to
the
opportunity.
It's
about
the
people.
M
You
heard
me
say
this
during
the
budget
presentation
for
the
department's
last
year:
I'll
say
it
again
today,
so
the
people
who
work
here
and
start
businesses
it's
about
the
people
who
live
here.
It's
about
our
work
with
you
and
other
staff
across
the
enterprise
and
I'm
really
enjoying
it
so
I
hope
for
your
support
and
I
hope
for
the
chance
to
continue.
N
A
D
D
D
He's
methodical
he's
not
one
to
grandstand,
but
one
to
understand
the
the
complex
details
of
working
out
a
development
deal
the
complex
details
of
making
sure
that
a
small
business
is
heard
and
then
can
thrive
and
I
I
do
want
to
thank
those
from
Main
Street
Alliance
for
for
coming,
because
I
think
the
the
the
points
that
they
were
making
here
today
are
valid
and
our
C
ped
office
as
a
whole
does
need
to
take
into
account.
Small
businesses
fall
far
more
and
I
look
forward
to
collaborating
with
you
on
that.
D
Thank
you
for
being
here.
I,
believe
that
you
know,
as
he
served
as
interim
director,
but
he's
maintained
this
high
functioning
development
review
process
as
the
city
continues
to
see
over
a
billion
dollars
in
annual
construction.
Permit
valuation
he's
been
working
with
enterprise
leadership
and
his
team
to
craft
and
craft
in
Minneapolis,
2040,
comprehensive
plan,
and
if
you've
had
a
chance
to
read
this
plan,
it
is
in
every
way,
shape
and
form
comprehensive.
D
It's
taken
a
lot
of
the
conversation
and
the
the
words
and
the
meetings
and
task
forces
that
we've
had
over
the
last
several
years
and
an
implement.
What
it
starts
to
do
is
implement
a
strategy
towards
growth,
with
inclusivity
towards
economic
development,
while
accounting
for
those
that
are
traditionally
left
behind
and
for
a
true
urbanist
vision
for
what
Minneapolis
could
ultimate
can
ultimately
become.
You
know
any
time
you
push
for
this
sort
of
change
and
evitt
ability,
there's
pushback.
D
You
know
the
only
thing
that
people
hate
worse
than
the
status
quo
is
any
change
at
all,
but
I've
seen
firsthand
mr.
Franks
ability
to
be
a
change
maker
and
I.
Think
that
is
exactly
what
we
need
in
the
cpad
Department
right
now.
So
I
put
forward
his
name
with
great
pride
and
and
I
ask
for
your
support
and
thank
you
so
much
for
having
me
thank.
O
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
thank
you
mr.
mayor
for
a
very
good
nomination.
I'm
happy
to
support
David
Frank
I've
been
lucky
enough
to
have
David
living
in
my
ward,
so
he
was
actually
when
I
first
started
running
for
office.
He's
very
helpful
to
me
and
just
learning
about
a
few
things
that
weren't
obvious
about
how
city
government
worked
and
I've
enjoyed,
getting
to
know
him
and
appreciated
his
ability
to
speak
bluntly
when
it's
needed
to
summarize
some
important
issues
in
a
way
that
help
people
understand
it.
O
I
also
do
want
to
acknowledge
the
the
importance
of
our
whole
city
enterprise,
getting
better
at
supporting
small
business
and
I.
Think
that,
since
that
sort
of
critique
was
first
raised
with
me
as
we
thinking
about
it
over
over
a
few
months,
I've
heard
from
Danny
Schwartzman
and
others
from
the
Maine
Straight
Alliance.
Quite
a
lot
on
this
issue
and
I'll
just
say
that
part
of
my
support
for
mr.
Frank
today
is
because
we've
had
some
good
conversations
about
that.
O
P
Just
wanted
to
my
apologies
for
being
late:
everyone,
it
just
came
from
the
State
Capitol,
but
I
just
wanted
to
be
able
to
have
an
open
conversation
specifically
about
the
process
of
equity,
for
you
as
a
leader.
So
how
do
you
define
equity
and
what
actionable
steps
have
you
taken
as
interim
to
be
able
to
activate
that?
And
how
do
you
see
that
moving
forward
as
well.
M
All
thank
you
for
giving
me
the
heads-up,
so
I
had
a
little
bit
to
think
about
it
and
jot
down
some
some
notes
to
myself.
If
that's,
okay,
so
I
look
back
at
the
mission
statement
of
the
department
which
is
to
grow
a
vibrant
livable
safely
built
city
for
everyone,
so
I
will
underline
that
everyone,
even
though
I
think
in
on
the
website.
It's
not
underlined
and
I
will
start
from
there.
Equity
is
integral
not
just
in
the
mission
statements
but
to
everything
that
we
are
doing,
and
everything
that
I
want
us
to.
Do.
M
It's
not
off
to
the
side.
It's
right
there
in
the
middle
and
I
should
say
especially
racial
equity.
I'll
touch
on
the
comp
plan
is
an
example
in
a
minute.
It's
key
to
what
we
do
and
to
how
we
do
it.
So
I
want
to
just
pause
there
and
say
from
a
you
know:
what's
it
about
kind
of
a
standpoint
where
the
department
is
coming
from?
That's
where
I'm
coming
from
I
value,
it
and
I
believe
in
it.
Q
M
Okay,
we
are
working
on
equity
when
we
hear
from
communities
where
we
work
about
gentrification
about
displacement
and
when
we,
as
a
city
through
sea
bed,
work
on
policies
to
address
displacement
to
address
gentrification,
as
we
think
about
the
project.
Okay,
we
we
want
to
make
sure
that
the
primary
beneficiaries
of
the
city
investment
are
the
residents
and
the
businesses
who
are
there
and,
of
course,
the
ones
who
are
coming,
because
we
need
to
grow
as
a
city.
M
That's
what
that's
what
the
department's
about,
but
we
want
to
make
sure
that
the
benefit
primarily
is
for
the
people
who
are
there?
It's
about
the
people
and
we
are
using
this
thinking
as
anyone
who's
looked
at.
The
complaint
has
seen
to
think
about
to
have
difficult
conversations
right
and
we're
just
starting.
So
that's
the
other
thing.
I
want
to
say
right.
I
have
some
examples.
If
you'd
like
about
what's
been
going
on
since
August,
it's
really
about
getting
started
right
and
we
are
doing
that.
M
M
My
favorite
part
about
the
job,
so
I
was
being
teased
this
morning
at
home
about
how
I
you
know,
don't
usually
address.
Quite
this
way
and
I
said
well,
it's
a
little
bit
like
I
have
a
job
interview
right.
So
here
we
are
having
the
job
interview.
Madam
chair,
councilmember,
cutting
my
every
part
about
the
job
is
that
when
I
get
up
in
the
morning,
if
I
have
a
good
day,
I
am
doing
well
for
the
public
for
the
people.
A
You
I'd
like
to
just
read
some
comments
from
Council
Meccano,
who
was
home
sick
today.
She
says:
I've
had
the
opportunity
to
work
with
mr.
Frank
for
the
past
four
years.
There's
no
doubt
he
has
all
the
qualities
of
a
top-notch
employee
he's
a
versatile
problem,
solver
whose
depth
of
knowledge
has
an
equal
amount
of
range
from
successfully
helping
Latino
business
owners
to
opening
a
pallet
era
on
Lake
Street
to
overseeing
the
city's
legally-binding
growth
plans.
Mr.
A
Frank
makes
managing
a
very
complex
high
profile
department,
with
hundreds
of
employees
not
only
seem
easy,
but
enjoyable
he's
always
professional
and
ready
to
share
solutions
that
you
didn't
even
know
you
had
the
creativity
spirit
and
energy
he
brings
to
the
city
can
only
be
mirrored
by
his
sense
of
style,
and
thank
you
for
that.
By
the
way
she
says,
I'm,
looking
forward
to
Casting
my
official
vote,
the
support
of
David
Frank
is
our
new
seat
bed
director
and
thank
mayor
Frye
for
bringing
his
nomination
forward.
So
that
is
from
councilmember
Cano.
Q
Q
In
my
experience
in
working
with
mr.
Frank
and
working
with
other
members
of
C
ped
I
think
that
that
that
commitment
to
letting
folks
know
to
working
with
the
council
as
well
to
make
sure
that
we
are
letting
the
folks
of
the
city
know
the
work
that
we're
doing
on
their
behalf.
You
guys
are
committed
to
that
and
have
been
so
far
and
so
I
really
appreciate
the
way
that
you've
helped
engage
me
as
a
new
council
member
in
my
learning
curve
and
making
sure
that
we
let
the
city
know
what
we
do.
So.
A
A
Think
mr.
Frank
has
done
an
incredible
job
of
managing
that
what
I
will
say,
most
importantly,
about
mr.
Frank,
is
he's
not
about
talk,
he's
about
action
and
that's
what
makes
him
different
than
probably
many
previous
council
members,
current
council
members
or
other
leaders
in
the
department.
He
doesn't
like
to
talk
about
doing
things.
He
likes
to
do
them
and
now
that
we
have
unleashed
this
interim
status
and
and
hopefully
given
him,
this
position
we'll
be
able
to
really
see
him
shine.
I
want
to
note
that
this
is
a
position
that
is
mainly
about
management.
A
I
want
to
note
that
this
is
bigger
than
the
Office
of
Economic,
Development
and
small
business.
It
also
involves
development
services,
long
range
planning,
entitlement
planning,
affordable
housing,
housing
development.
All
of
these
different
departments
under
an
organization
that
manages
over
200
people
with
a
very
strong
leadership
team
I,
will
note
his
strong
leadership
team.
Every
one
of
them
is
in
the
room
here,
so
maybe
you
can
raise
your
hands
and
we
can
point
out
Andrea
Brennan,
Heather,
Worthington
Steve,
poor
Deb,
our
Halligan
Chuck.
A
Lots
are
all
here
today,
which
I
think
is
the
first
time
in
a
long
time
that
all
of
the
department
directors
have
been
here
to
support
the
nomination
of
a
CPD
director.
Lastly,
with
regard
to
the
small
business
issue,
I
do
want
to
note
that
the
small
business
team
is
than
operating
in
the
coordinators
department
for
the
past
year,
not
at
sea
bed.
So
once
we're
able
to
bring
the
small
business
team
and
their
very
good
work,
quite
frankly
in
one
year,
they've
done
a
lot
in
line
with
our
development
services.
A
Our
economic
development
programs
I
think
we
will
see
and
we
are
demanding
more
responsiveness
and
we
need
to
tell
our
story
better,
but
we
also
need
to
do
more
in
different
ways.
I
think
David
Frank
is
the
person
to
do
that.
This
is,
as
I
said,
the
first
time
in
four
years,
where
there
will
be
very
strong
leadership
and
I
hope
that
everyone
is
willing
to
go
along
for
that
ride,
because
that's
what
the
public
is
asking
for,
which
is
incredible
movement
in
terms
of
the
direction
of
our
community
planning
and
economic
development
division.
A
So
with
that
I
am
going
to
have
the
commute
the
economic
development
and
regulatory
Services
Committee,
which
is
made
up
of
council
members,
Fletcher
Goodman,
Ellison,
Gordon
and
Cunningham
vote
on
my
motion
to
approve
the
mayor's
nomination
of
David
Frank,
all
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye
aye.
Any
opposed
that
item
is
approved.
I
will
now
call
on
councilmember
Gordon.
Thank.
R
You
very
much
and
also
I
appreciate
that
we're
having
a
joint
meeting
of
three
different
committees,
I,
think
that
should
tell
us
and
everybody
how
long
or
wider
reach
seaport
has
in
terms
of
the
enterprise
and
on
behalf
and
for
the
housing
policy
and
Development
Committee
I
will
move
approval
of
the
appointment
of
David
Frank,
the
director
of
C
pet,
all
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye
aye,
any
opposed,
say
no.
Any
abstentions.
Motion
carries
the.
A
A
Now
we
are
left
with
the
economic
development
and
regulatory
Services
Committee,
which
has
an
agenda
of

this

is
for
an
extended

operation
so
that
they

hours.
This
application
requires
a
public
hearing,
public
hearing
notices
were
sent
to
residents
and
property
owners
within
300
feet
of
the
premises.
S
It
also
was
shared
with
Marcy

Neighborhood
Association,
northeast
business,
commerce
and
public
hearing
responses
were,
we
did
receive
responses,
there
were
16
opposed
and
15
in
support
and
6
were
neutral.
Staff
did
take
some
action
on
the
responses
that
received
that
were
opposed
and
addressed.
Those
with
the
ownership
and
the
concerns
were
about
noise
from
the
pumps
and
also
the
operation
of
the
car
wash
and
a
signage
for
a
one-way
and
I.
We're
happy
to
report
that
the
ownership
took
proactive
steps
to.
S
S
A
T
Cheers
welcome
and
members
the
members
the
committee
I
am
here
representing
holiday
station
stores
today,
I'm
joined
by
David
had
a
quest
who
is
the
real
real
estate
manager
and
Jason
felt
about
the
peloton
who,
most
importantly,
at
this
point
in
the
process,
is
the
holiday
employee,
who
was
responsible
for
the
operations
that
store
I,
think
he
worked
with
with
your
staff
and
a
nurse.
Someone
was
odd.
He's.
T
C
T
I
I
know
that
you
have
received
a
number
of
comments
and
concerns
and,
as
we
had
a
chance
to
review
them,
it
was
a
week
we
were
struck
by
how,
by
how
similar
they
were
to
the
comments
and
concerns
that
we
worked
through
as
we
went
through
the
land
use
process
for
the
city
to
get
approval
for
the
furthest
or
we
were
we
were.
We
were
able
to
address
the
concerns.
Midium
didn't
mitigate
the
the
the
the
concerns
working
with
a
neighborhood
group
and
with
declining
staff.
T
T
Of
the
land-use
planning
committee
and
the
board
of
the
Marcy
homes
Association
for
the
store
they
they
feel
comfortable
with
it
planning
staff
record
record
record
record
recommended
for
it.
I
think
we
worked
in
over
the
issues
out
and
after
a
public
hearing
and
of
the
Planning
Commission
also
said
the
same
thing:
Jason
is
still
working
on
a
day-to-day
basis.
T
Fine-Tuning
that
the
stores
will
open
fir
for
the
store
has
been
has
opened
for
a
month
and
he's
still
working
I
think
every
day,
probably
finding
fixes
working
with
with
your
staff
to
respond
any
concerns.
We
believe
that
there
are
application
which
has
the
gap
from
from
a
2:00
a.m.
until
4:00
a.m.
when
the
store
will
be
closed.
Nobody,
nobody
coming
to
the
site
to
go
in
and
out
of
the
store
and
that
we
are
not
asking
for
the
for
the
extended
hours
for
the
carwash
addresses.
T
Many
of
the
concerns
which
you
have
and
I
think
the
concerns
that
we've
been
dealing
with
the
whole
time.
So
with
that,
we
simply
ask
that
you
approve
the
application
and
we
look
forward
to
continue
to
work
and
Jason
from
now
on.
So
that's
so
that's
why
he's
here
they
need
to
hear
you
took
them
to
meet
with
you
and
know
that
this
is
a
serious
process
and
we
can
move
forward.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
A
U
My
name
is
Andrew
Morse
I
live
at
518,
seventh
Street
southeast,
so
I
am
five
blocks
from
the
gas
station
right
down.
7
Street
and
it
is
the
nicest
new
station
in
Minnesota.
If
you
haven't
been
there-
and
it
is
also
enormous
and
the
people
that
live
at
700
central
live
right
across
the
street
that
fancy
new
building
that
they
put
up
before
the
gas
station,
their
fancy,
new
building
red,
that's
apartment,
building,
that's
one
half
block
away.
It
was
put
up
before
that
and
I'm
glad.
U
I
will
not
be
living
that
close
to
the
gas
station
at
one
o'clock
in
the
morning
at
a
nice
summer
night,
because
it
is
a
frisky
place,
is
just
so
big
and
I'm,
really
I'm,
really
glad
they're
there
and
I
wish
they
would
just
keep
their
hours
the
same
I'm
glad
they're
not
going
to
have
the
car
wash
because
it's
really
noisy.
So
that's
if
you
could
keep
the
hours
the
same
and
keep
the
gas
station.
That
would
be
really
good
for
our
neighborhood
and
the
neighbors.
That
really
appreciate
it.
U
A
N
Dannette
Hill
and
I
work
for
Nolan
properties
group
we
owned
700
central
I'm
here
representing
the
ownership
group.
We
are
at
328,
Barry
Avenue,
but
location
is
700.
Central
I
understand
the
need
for
services
in
the
area.
I
totally
get
that
we
worked
with
the
city
for
several
years.
Trying
to
get
this
project
approved,
we
spent
thirty
two
million
dollars
on
the
multi-family
housing
project,
also
the
commercial
trying
to
hopefully
accommodate
the
city
with
it.
N
With
their
mission
of
you
know,
urban
vision
and
vibrant
and
safe
community
and
the
other
objectives
were
just
the
transit
oriented
development,
maintaining
enhancing
the
fabric
of
the
city's
historical
buildings.
I
mean
we
spent
a
lot
of
money
trying
to
make
sure
that
we
actually
were
accomplishing
those
needs
and
I
understand
that
you
guys
came
in
and
and
you've
maybe
taken
away
the
car
wash,
but
there's
still
complaints
that
we
get
from
the
residents
of
the
community
that
there
is
noise.
N
N
Why
we're
hoping
that
you,
actually
you
know,
reject
the
extended
hours
along
with
a
lot
of
the
different
neighborhood
people
that
we
have
spoken
with
as
well,
and
we
didn't
hear
from
the
City
Council
members,
and
maybe
somebody
else
got
the
letter,
but
so
I
didn't
hear
that
there
was
a
response
or
you
were
proposing
to
to
pass
it.
We
just
hope
that
you
hear
our
concerns
and
our
tenants
concerns.
So
thank
you.
Thank.
O
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
thank
you,
everybody
who
came
and
testified
today,
I've
been
receiving
a
lot
of
feedback
on
this
issue
both
for
and
against.
It's
actually
been
one
of
the
most
active
issues,
and
probably
the
thing
that
there's
the
least
consensus
on
we've
heard
more
I
would
say
from
people
who
see
the
convenience
of
having
the
extended
hours,
especially
as
we're
creating
a
really
nice
dense,
walkable
corridor
there
in
the
Nicolette
island,
East
Bank,
Neighborhood
Association.
O
They
particularly
saw
a
benefit
to
have
something
walkable
the
open
late,
and
so
there
are
people
who
certainly
weighed
in
in
favor.
We
certainly
also
heard
some
concerns.
I've
appreciated
the
efforts
that
the
holiday
station
management
has
made
to
accommodate
as
many
of
those
concerns
as
they
can
and
I
hope
that
you'll
continue
doing
that
and
continue
being
good.

November
3rd
inspection
of
the
property
found
that
the
interior

had
not

was
condemned.
Placarded
with
a

and
a

was
sent
to

V
Clyburn
at
both
properties,
the
rental

were
cancelled
pursuant
to
minneapolis
Code
of
Ordinances
244
1925,
which
requires
the
cancellation
of
rental
licenses
when
a
property
is
condemned
and
on
November
27th,
a
notice
of
intent
to
revoke
mr.
cly
Berg's
licenses
was
sent
to
his
listed
address
of
930
220
third
Lane
North,
West
and
Rapids.
V
The
notice
of
revocation
was
issued
pursuant
to
minneapolis
Code
of
Ordinances
244
1910
13,
a
which
states
that
any
person
who
has
an
interest
in
two
rental
licenses
that
were
cancelled
due
to
condemnation
shall
be
ineligible
to
hold
or
have
an
interest
in
the
rental
license.
For
period
of
five
years,
mr.
cly
berg
filed
in
a
he
loved
that
revocation
action
on
December
11th
in
an
evidentiary
hearing
was
scheduled
for
March
1st
2018
in
front
of
administrative
hearing
officer.
Fabian
Hoffner
notice
of
the
evidentiary
hearing
was
sense.
Mr.
V
cly
Berg
at
his
address
and
Rapids
on
February
5th,
mr.
cly
Berg
did
not
appear
for
the
hearing
and
mr.
Hoffner
recommended
revocation
of
the
license.
Mr.
Clyburn
did
submit
a
motion
to
reopen
the
hearing
on
March
8th,
which
was
denied
by
mr.
Hoffner
on
March
9th
I'll.
Note
that
in
this
situation,
there's
a
fairly
clear-cut
set
of
regulations
in
the
Code
of
Ordinances
that
there
was
notice.
Q
V
For
two
sets
of
orders
at
the
property
with
adequate
time
given
to
correct
the
serious
violations,
the
orders
are
not
complied
with,
and
so
the
properties
were
condemned,
which
then
directs
us
to
revoke
the
rest
of
mr.
cly
burgers
licenses.
And
so
we
are
requesting
revocation
of
the
licenses
and
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
might
have
are.
P
There
any
sort
of
thank
you,
madam
chair,
were
there
any
sort
of
communications
after
the
orders
had
been
given
to
be
able
to
like?
Was
there
any
communication
from
the
property
owners
in
between
the
time
of
the
it
being
officially
condemned?
Was
there
any
like
abatement
plans
discussed
or
anything
like
that.
V
Chair
goodman
councilmember
come
in
Cunningham
I'm,
not
completely
familiar
with
any
communication
that
might
have
taken
place
between
mr.
cly
Berg
and
the
inspectors
he
was
given
about
a
month
to
come
to
compliance
given
the
nature
of
the
orders.
In
this
case
you
know,
including
things
like
smoke,
detectors
and
the
foundation
of
the
building.
It's
probably
not
something
that
we
would
have
issued
extensions
for.
V
A
Further
questions
for
mr.
McCree,
no
seeing
none
thank
you
for
your
report
feel
free
to
stay
closed.
This
is
a
quasi-judicial
public
hearing,
for
which
this
committee
is
limited
by
law,
to
hearing
the
arguments
from
the
parties
to
the
matter
consisting
of
the
regulatory
services
staff
and
the
license
holder
or
the
license
holders
representative.
A
This
committee
is
prohibited
from
receiving
any
further
information
or
testimony
the
parties
are
required
to
limit
their
comments
to
arguments
specifically
addressing
the
evidence
or
testimony
introduced
before
the
administrative
hearing
officer
who
previously
conducted
a
full
of
it
you're
hearing
in
the
matter.
The
parties
may
not
offer
and
the
committee
will
not
consider
any
new
or
additional
evidence.
That's
not
already
part
of
the
record
developed
in
the
evidentiary
hearing,
given
that
mr.
Clyburn
did
not
attend
the
evidentiary
hearing,
the
only
information
we
can
take
today
is
what
is
in
the
packet
in
front
of
us.
A
The
committee
has
been
provided
with
the
record
of
the
matter,
including
the
report
and
recommendation
of
the
administrative
hearing
officer.
I
would
invite
mr.
cly
Berger
his
representative
to
please
come
forward
if
he
has
anything
to
say
and
ask
that
you
keep
your
comments
to
that
that
has
been
described
within
the
evidentiary
hearing
packet.
W
Yeah,
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
hearing
me
today,
I
paid
$300
to
get
a
hearing.
You
know
that
I
didn't
get
and
what
happened
is
I
was
in
Mexico,
February
10th
to
the
28th
I
came
home
on
the
28th
9
o'clock
at
night,
I
got
to
the
airport,
Ken
o'clock
and
I
got
home.
I
went
through
all
the
mail
for
two
hours.
There
was
nothing
from
the
county
or
the
city
about
a
hearing.
W
The
next
day
you
know
at
one
o'clock
and
in
our
mailboxes
are
set
up
five
or
six
in
a
row
and
two
to
three
times
a
month.
I
get
other
people's
mail
in
my
mailbox
in
the
mail,
I
thought
something
this
important
should
have
been
sent
out.
Registered
mail
I
mean
they
had
no
way.
They
said
they
sat
there
for
an
hour
or
half
hour
on
March,
1st
and
I
didn't
show
up
and
the
you
know
my
realm
property
is.
W
You
know
it
may
not
seem
like
it,
but
it's
the
most
important
thing
I
have
going
for
me.
I
would
say
of
my
wife
and
family,
you
know
and
he
just
I
still
I
sold.
Oh,
that
Oliver
that
wouldn't
have
any
condemnation,
I
sold,
that
one
to
a
realtor,
Howard
angler,
Ganga,
fed
3801,
Oliver,
so
that's
gone
and
then
I
sold
the
duplex
at
21,
26
een,
and
we
had
worked
on
Irving
and
we'd
worked
on
Newton
and
we
had
over
probably
half
of
the
problems
taken
care
of,
but
I
just
didn't.
W
You
know
when
they
said
they
said
rough
on
some
of
them,
and
here
they
really
meant
soffit
and
facia,
but
it
was
still
fifteen
thousand
dollars
to
get
the
one
down
at
Irving
and
I
didn't
have
the
money
for
that
one
and
we
took
care
of
the
plumbing
thing.
I
mean
I
called
Ben.
Franklin
Plumbing,
they
came
out.
W
A
X
Chair,
I
I
do
believe
that
the
letter
was
made
a
part
of
the
record
in
terms
of
he
made
a
motion
to
reopen
the
hearing
and
it
was
considered
and
rejected
by
the
hearing
officer
mr.
Hoffner,
but
I
think
it
is
in
the
record
and
it's
relevant
to
the
hearing,
and
this
committee
would
be
authorized
if
it
so
chose
to
overrule
mr.
Hoffner
recommendation
and
return
the
matter
for
an
evidentiary
hearing.
X
W
Didn't
give
me
a
hearing,
you
know
all
he
said
was
that
because
he
said
because
they
mailed
it
out,
they
mailed
it
out.
So
obviously
it
wasn't
returned
as
undeliverable
sort.
I
have
must
have
gotten
a
mail.
You
know
which
I
did
so
you're
saying
I
can't
present
any
more
evidence
or
talk
about
it.
You.
W
W
Well,
I
have
just
said:
I
wrote
this
was
the
letter
though
they
NIT
Moreno,
asked
me
to
write.
You
know
he
said.
Maybe
Julian
Hoffman
will
talk
to
you
about
it
or
reschedule
it.
I
said
I'm
very
sorry
about
missing
the
hearing.
March
first
to
keep
my
REM
license.
I
was
in
Lhasa
on
February
10th
to
the
28th
that
came
home
late
and
there
was
no
mail
and
then
asked
if
they'd
reschedule
another
date
for
me
on
I.
A
Lose
it
okay.
So
basically
your
argument
is,
you
didn't
know
to
come
to
the
hearing,
but
maybe
you
could
explain
how,
for
example,
2814
Newton
Avenue
North
has
had
55
inspections
with
a
hundred
and
thirty-four
violations
since
1998,
and
that
21:26
Irving
has
had
56
inspections
with
a
hundred
and
ninety-five
violations
since
1998
I
don't
know
if
it
would
have.
A
A
3220
Oliver
at
that's
one
that
you've
already
sold
those.
There
were
also
ten
inspections,
13
violations
there.
So
all
of
the
properties
that
you
own
have
had
more
City
time
and
effort
gone
into
them
than
almost
any
other
landlord,
so
I'm.
If
the
issue
is
I,
didn't
get
the
notice
of
the
public
hearing
I'd
like
you
to
explain
all
of
these
violations.
You.
A
A
A
I'm
sure
they're
part
of
the
public
record
since
I
got
them
in
the
packet.
So
if
there
is
no
other
testimony
that
you'd
like
to
present
with
regard
to
the
fact
that
you're
a
good
landlord
with
no
problems
with
no
problems
with
inspections
or
minimal
problems
with
a
history
of
rectifying
problems,
other
than
saying
you
didn't
get
your
mail,
so
you
didn't
know
about
these
problems.
I
would
love
to
hear
that.
W
Thank
you're
saying
well,
I
knew
about
for
the
problems
yeah
and,
like
I,
said
we'd
fixed,
probably
half
half
of
the
my
lady's
place.
We
just
didn't
get
them
out
of
anything,
some
other
some
of
the
reports,
Oh
guess
I
wasn't
even
I
was
trying
to
get
down
here.
The
inspector
I
mean
he
was
over
a
21-13
iliyan.
We
worked
everything
out
with
him
and
his
supervisor
and
got
a
picture
of
all
the
problems.
I
mean
they
were
obviously
these.
W
W
My
dog
I
can't
tell
if
it's
a
leaf
or
if
it's
a
she
a
piece
of
or
something
you
can't
really
tell,
and
since
then
the
eyes
roll,
the
house
and
a
water
pipe
broke
in
the
basement
and
250,000
gallons
of
water
went
in
the
drain.
You
know
in
in
the
day
it
I
mean
it
just
disappeared.
It
wasn't
in
the
basement.
The
drain
was
not
clogged
up,
so
I
called
the
house
in
the
specter
and
told
him.
You
know
the
drain
was
clogged.
It
took
250,000
gallons
of
water
and
went
down.
W
W
Pipe
I'm
just
saying
this
kind
of
stuff
happens
and
I
didn't
even
plan
to
bring
it
up,
but
it
just
seems,
like
you
know,
somebody's
coming
down
on
me
here,
I'm
just
trying
to
be
honest,
you
know
only
the
they
told
me
to
get
a
plumber.
I
got
a
plumber
that
works
out
of
it.
Rapids
I
didn't
realize
that
his
he
did
have
a
license
to
operate
in
Minneapolis.
He
fixed
the
venting.
They
gave
us
three
days
to
fix
the
venting
on
a
Friday
in
it,
and
I
got
somebody
out
there
on
Sunday.
W
That
in
the
plumber
said
he
didn't
need
it,
because
there
was
no
water
pressure
or
anything,
but
they
still
wrote
it
up
and
they
made
me
get
Ben
Franklin
Plumbing
out
and
they
came
out,
ran
up
an
eight
hundred
and
thirty
dollar
bill
and
didn't
pull
the
permit
like
they
were
supposed
to
and
then
I'm
gonna
Sarah
Lee,
one
more
thing
about
Newton
and
I
will
sit
down
at
new
2814
Newton.
They
came
out,
they
posted
the
house
on
the
19th
of
October.
W
W
I
got
electrician
out,
he
came
in,
took
care
of
the
safety
check
and
stuff,
and
then
the
the
inspector
asked
me
he
said
he
needed
he
needed
it
approved
by
the
inspector
and
they
have
a
state
inspector
for
electrical
and
that
guy
didn't
get
out
there
for
a
couple
days.
He
was
unhappy
about
that,
but
the
electrician
had
taken
care
of
the
work
and
got
it
done
so.
A
A
A
W
A
W
V
A
P
You,
madam
chair
I,
just
wanted
to
speak
to
this.
The
I
read
the
entire
report
and
reviewed
all
of
the
evidence
and
the
condition
of
particularly
the
Irving
and
Newton
properties.
The
it
is
unacceptable
that
folks
have
to
live
in
those
conditions
in
North,
Minneapolis
and
I
think
that
we
need
to
really
have
higher
standards.
P
Northsiders
deserve
better,
deserve
better
housing
options.
The
we
should
have
high
standards
like
this
high
standards,
expected
of
landlords
to
provide
clean
and
dignified
housing
to
the
people
of
not
only
North
Minneapolis
but
throughout
the
entire
city,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
speak
to
this
and
thank
the
staff
for
their
diligence,
because
we
do
need
to
hold
our
landlords
accountable
for
the
kind
of
housing
that
they're
providing
to
folks
Thank
You
councillor.
A
Q
A
lot
of
these
properties
were
are
located
in
my
ward
and
I
just
wanted
to
echo
councilmember
Cunningham.
Also.
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
In
saying
that
you
know
it
is
unfortunate
that
this
revocation
has
to
happen,
because
I
do
want
to
make
sure
that
North
siders
have
housing
options
that
they
can
live
in,
that
people
can
stay
in
their
homes
or
that
they're
not
displaced.
But
after
looking
at
the
conditions
of
these
houses,
it's
upsetting
it's
upsetting
to
me
as
the
representative
of
Ward
5.
Q
But
this
is
an
example
of
and
I
won't
speak
to
intent
because
I
don't
want
to
presume
that
there's
ill
intent
behind
this,
but
it's
an
example
of
someone
who
is
not
able
to
keep
up
and
and
offer
dignified
living
conditions
for
the
people.
For
my
neighbors
and
so
with
that.
Is
it
too
early
to
make
a
motion
to
approve
the
revocation?
Then
I
would
like
to
make
a
motion
to
approve
the
license.
Revocation
motion.
A
To
revoke
the
licenses
is
in
front
of
us:
are
there
further
comments
or
questions?
Seeing
none
I'll
just
say
mr.
Clyburn,
you
are
a
lovely
man
and
I.
Think
you've
tried
very
hard
to
do
the
right
thing
and
provide
housing
for
people,
but
it
might
be
time
now
to
transition
into
selling
these
properties,
to
someone
can
fix
them
up
and
provide
stable
housing
for
people
in
North
Minneapolis.
You
have
made
a
great
run
at
it.
You've
owned
a
number
of
properties
sounds
like
these
properties.
A
If
you
didn't
have
a
rental
license
would
be
sold,
and
hopefully
someone
can
build
on
your
efforts
to
do
a
better
job
of
operating
them
in
the
future,
so
that
we
can
have
stable
housing
in
North
Minneapolis.
The
evidence
on
this
is
just
simply
too
overwhelming
the
number
of
outstanding
orders
the
number
of
orders
on
other
properties.
It
just
seems
like
this
would
be
a
good
time
for
you,
the
markets
strong.
Hopefully
you
can
sell
these
homes
and
people
will
have
somewhere
to
live.
A
Perhaps
someone
could
buy
some
of
these
houses
and
owner
occupy
them
and
spend
their
own?
You
know
manpower,
women
power
to
fix
them
up
and
do
better
by
this
beautiful
housing
stock.
A
number
of
these
homes
are
quite
beautiful
homes
in
a
very
important
part
of
town
for
us,
I
concur
with
the
council.
Member
of
the
ward
I
want
to
thank
the
staff
for
the
work
that
they've
done.
