first
discussion
item.
This
is
a
report
that
I
requested
from
the
Annapolis
public
housing
authority
and.
A
Welcome
Tracy
hi
there
honor
we're
gonna.
The
idea
is
to
have
a
about
a
15
minute
presentation
and
then
we
can
ask
any
questions
and
if
it's
alright,
maybe
we
can
stop
along
the
way
and
ask
questions
to
if
council
members
have
them
I
did
want
to
let
my
colleagues
know
and
everybody
here
that
I
was
contacted
right
when
this
appeared
on
the
agenda
from
some
community
members
who
also
wanted
an
opportunity
to
speak.
A
C
Thank
you
very
much
council
members
and
members
of
the
public.
My
name
is
Tracy
Scott
I'm,
deputy
executive
director
of
the
minneapolis
public
housing
authority,
I'm
here
representing
the
authority
and
also
with
regrets
from
our
executive
director,
Greg
Russ,
who
is
on
a
medical
leave,
had
hip
surgery
last
week.
We
expect
him
back
soon
running,
but
didn't
want
to
express
regrets
that
he
could
not
be
here
to
make
this
presentation.
C
On
May
24th
2017,
the
Minneapolis
Public
Housing
Authority
Board
of
Commissioners
passed
a
resolution
that
said
that
that
reinforced
our
mission,
which
is
that
the
minneapolis
public
housing
authority,
is
to
promote
and
deliver
quality
well-managed
homes
to
a
diverse
low
income
population
and
with
our
partners,
contribute
to
the
well-being
of
individuals,
families
and
communities
we
serve.
They
also
reinforced
that
our
goal
is
to
provide
the
housing
to
meet
the
current
and
projected
needs
of
low-income
households
in
Minneapolis
and
Preserve
and,
where
possible,
increase
the
affordable
housing
options
to
all
Minneapolis
neighborhoods.
C
That
is
our
mission,
that
is
our
goal
and,
as
part
out
of
that
meeting,
the
Board
of
Commissioners
staff
to
continue
to
pursue
ways
that
we
could
preserve,
affordable
housing
and
when
we
say
affordable,
we
mean
at
the
lowest
level
of
affordability,
which
is
30%
of
ami
and
below
or
30%
of
area
median
income,
and
these
are
our
citizens
that
need
that
help
the
most.
So
what
you?
What
we
presented
to
the
board
in
May,
16,
2016,
I'm,
sorry,
May,
16,
2001,.
C
To
8
month
effort
that
started
last
fall
with
our
our
board,
where
we
had
multiple
meetings
with
them.
We
brought
in
expert
consultants
about
our
portfolio
and
so
on,
and
it
culminated
in
this
strategic
vision
and
capital
plan.
The
board
adopted
this
on
May,
23rd,
2018
and
so
I'm
going
to
take
just
a
few
minutes
to
walk
through
some
of
that
plan.
The
full
presentation
is
on
our
website
and
is
also
posted
as
part
of
the
notes
to
this
meeting.
C
Briefly,
at
a
glance,
we
talked
about
our
mission,
which
is
always
to
promote
and
deliver
quality
housing
to
our
low-income,
the
low-income
population
in
the
city
and
specifically
to
preserve
that
we
serve
about
26,000
people
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis.
We
do
this
in
a
couple
of
ways
we
own
buildings,
which
we
have
42
high-rise
buildings
in
the
city
which
have
about
5,000
apartments,
and
then
we
have
a
voucher
program
which
allows
qualified
families
to
receive
assistance
on
their
rent
where
they
rent
with
private
landlords.
C
What
we
said
to
the
board
early
on
is
that
you
can't
really
talk
about
affordable
housing
in
the
city.
If
you
don't
talk
about
preserving
the
existing
public
housing
that
we
have,
and
so
this
presentation
and
this
strategic
vision
is
about
creating
an
opportunity
to
figure
out
how
we
preserve
that
housing
and,
as
we
said,
if
feasible
increase
the
availability
of
affordable
housing.
C
C
This
slide
speaks
to
the
math
of
what
we
have
to
do
to
preserve
the
housing.
Here
we
have
what's
called
operating
subsidy.
We
get
this
money
from
HUD
for
public
housing.
This
helps
us
to
operate
in
the
early
versions
of
president
Trump's
budget.
They
were
actually
talking
about
making
this
50%
of
the
monies
that
that
we
normally
get.
That
did
not
happen
luckily,
but
in
in
all
cases
we're
finding
that
even
that
operating
subsidy
is
not
sufficient,
just
to
run
the
properties
and
we
use
creative
ways
to
continue
to
run
those
public
housing
properties.
C
On
the
second
side,
you
have
what's
called
capital
funding,
and
this
funding
also
comes
from
HUD,
and
this
allows
us
to
maintain
the
properties,
the
major
systems
and
make
upgrades
as
needed.
You
know,
boilers
and
fire
panels
and
all
those
kinds
of
things
we
do
an
estimate
every
few
years
about
how
much
money
we
need
just
to
maintain
those
properties
that
we
own
that's
the
42
buildings
and
our
estimate
as
of
last
year
was
127
million
dollars.
We
get
on
average
10
million
a
year,
so
every
year
we
have
to
make
those
choices.
So
could.
A
I
just
ask:
do
you
have
any
flexibility?
So
let's
say
somehow
you
were
able
to
drive
down
your
operating
costs.
I
know
one
of
the
things
that
we've
been
trying
to
partner
with
is
reducing
costs
of
energy.
So
if
we
could
do
that,
could
you
take
any
of
those
savings
then
and
invest
them
in
capital
improvements,
or
are
they
restricted
by
the
federal
government?
And
you
couldn't
do
that?
Well,.
C
The
good
part
is
that
it
is
not
strict.
We
do
get
those
capital
funds
which
which
have
a
certain
purpose,
but
we
have
some
flexibility
because
of
our
status
as
what's
called
a
moving
to
work.
Agencies
gives
us
the
flexibility
to
move
those
monies
around,
but
the
simple
math
of
it
is
you
get
this
amount?
We
need
this
amount,
it's
not
enough,
and
so,
and
so
when.
So.
C
So
that's
why
we're
here?
The
other
thing
that
we
have
an
obligation
as
a
public
housing
authority
is
to
ensure
that
our
residents
are
represented
in
the
way
that
we're
thinking
so
while
we
can
promote
and
preserve
the
housing.
It
also
has
to
be
the
housing
that
they
want
to
live
in
and
the
housing
that
is
of
a
quality
that
they
want
and
provides
the
amenities
that
they
want.
And
so
we
went
into
this
process
and
we
will
continue
to
go
into
this
process
with
seeking
that
resident
input
at
every
step
of
the
way.
C
C
If
we're
doing
a
full
renovation,
then
clearly
folks
cannot
stay
in
the
units,
and
so
we
will
make
arrangements
to
make
sure
that
they
have
a
place
to
stay
and
then
can
come
back
to
the
units.
The
fifth
area
is
that
we
will
fully
inform
the
residents
of
any
possible
changes
and
then
we
will
seek,
as
I
said,
before,
their
assistance
on
the
choices
and
the
options
that
we
make.
What
this
comes
down
to
is
that
we
want
the
resident
input
we've
committed
to
it.
C
Our
board
of
commissioners
has
committed
to
it,
and
these
are
also
our
mission
and
values
and
we
have
to,
by
HUD,
make
sure
that
residents
are
involved
in
that
we
commit
to
their
rights
of
return
and
so
on.
So
those
are
not
rules
or
regulations
that
we
make
up,
but
we
have
to
follow
those
HUD
rules.
C
C
C
But
we
think
that
there
are
some
things
that
we
can
continue
it
to
invest
in,
including
some
of
the
the
capital
monies
that
you
referenced
earlier:
councilmember
Gordon
to
increase
the
livability
in
some
of
the
units
and
then
last
but
not
least,
as
I
mentioned,
where
we
have
land
if
we
can
build
new
housing.
We
will
also
use
continue
to
use
our
project-based
vouchers
to
work
with
private
developers
to
ensure
that
there
are
affordable
housing
units
and
all
of
these
new
developments
and
skyscrapers
that
are
going
up
around
the
city.
C
The
second
area
is
education,
employment
and
health,
and
this
is
where
we
want
to
strengthen
our
partnerships
to
be
smarter
about
how
we
use
vouchers
so
that
we're
linking
it
to
the
outcomes.
So
where
are
we?
For
instance,
we
have
a
partnership
with
Northside
achievement
zone
and
those
families
that
are
working
with
Northside
achievement
zone
to
advance
their
children's
education
and
employment.
Opportunities
also
have
an
opportunity
for
stable
housing
through
our
subsidy,
and
so
that
that
type
of
thinking
is
really
important.
C
And
services
increasing
resident
services
and
also
increasing
access
to
healthcare,
and
so
we
see
these
as
priorities.
This
is
this
is
not
about
preserving
the
housing,
but
it's
about
preserving
the
quality
of
life
and
living
in
in
those
communities
and,
last
but
not
least,
the
operational
excellence,
which
I've
talked
a
fair
amount
about.
We
have
identified
some
redundancies.
For
instance,
we
have
multiple
information
technology
platforms
and
so
looking
at
consolidating
those,
we
think
there
certainly
some
cost
savings
and
certainly
efficiencies,
and
so
everywhere
that
we
can
do
that
we're.
C
C
C
The
other
thing
I
mentioned
these
two
at
the
top
are
about
subsidy
conversion
and
again
this
is
sort
of
inside
baseball,
HUD
speak,
but
as
I
about
earlier,
we
have
public
housing
where
we
own
the
housing,
and
then
we
have
the
voucher.
Those
are
actually
two
sources
of
funds
from
HUD.
If
we
convert
the
public
housing
fund
to
the
voucher
fund
from
HUD,
then
we
actually
have
more
money
to
work
with
to
renovate
the
properties.
C
C
So
I
wanted
to
close
just
to
give
you
a
few
highlights
of
some
things
that
we
have
been
doing
already,
because
while
we
took
the
strategic
vision
to
the
board,
we
we
don't
stop
we're
still
working
every
day
to
preserve
housing
at
public
housing
in
Minneapolis.
And
so
last
week
we
broke
ground
on
a
16
unit,
townhome
development
in
south
Minneapolis,
the
Minnehaha
townhomes.
C
We
will
be
done
by
the
winter,
and
so
they
will
have
tighter
units
in
terms
of
the
insulation
and
HVAC
and
then
last
but
not
least
so
I
just
wanted
to
speak
to
and
here's
our
fearless
leader,
the
back
his
back
Greg
Russ
speaking
to
some
of
our
residents.
We've
been
engaged
in
this
process
for
a
while.
There
have
been
a
lot
of
formal
meetings
and
informal
meetings
with
residents
to
just
talk
about
many
of
the
ideas
in
this
strategic
vision
and.
C
As
well
as
even
some
of
the
other
housing
authorities
and
others,
and
so
these
are
just
some
examples
of
the
kinds
of
things
that
we're
continuing
to
do
while
we
engage
in
the
next
steps
and
I
want
to
speak
to
that,
this
is
a
strategic
vision
for
the
Housing
Authority.
It
is
not
a
plan,
yet
it
is
a
capital
plan
to
the
extent
that
we've
looked
at
different
financing
arrangements.
C
That
could
be
brought
to
bear
to
make
this
happen,
but
it
is
a
strategic
vision
that
the
board,
in
its
capacity
essentially
has
approved
the
report
from
the
mPHA
staff.
Our
next
thing
is
the
hard
lift,
the
heavy
lifting,
which
is
how
do
we
actually
plan
for
each
of
the
properties?
How
do
we
engage
in
a
structured
process
to
figure
out
how
we
can
renovate
and
preserve
our
public
housing,
and
they
said,
create
more
housing
if
possible,
through
those
arrangements?
A
C
A
There
are
can
some
concerns
that
we've
heard
from
people
about
using
tax
credits
and
also
about
the
rad
funding.
I
know
that
on
one
of
the
slides
you
mentioned,
creating
a
mph,
a
controlled
nonprofit,
I
think
I'm,
the
bigger
presentation.
You
also
talked
about
some
funding
from
some
moving
to
work
enhancements.
A
So
maybe
there's
there's
other
questions
that
that
we'll
need
to
dig
into
and
get
more
answers
to
in
the
future.
I'm.
Not
quite
I,
don't
quite
understand.
Why
changing
to
a
voucher
system,
even
if
nothing
else
changes
all
the
sudden
means
that
you
have
more
money
to
do
capital
improvements
and
what
are
the
potential
risks
when
you
change
to
about
your
system,
because,
usually
with
a
voucher,
you
are
taking
it
to
a
private
letter,
often
a
private
landlord,
then
who
can
decide
to
do
something
later
with
that
move
into
the
house
themselves
or
whatever?
A
C
I
think
he
councilmember
Gordon.
That's
an
excellent
question
and
having
been
in
the
housing
industry
for
a
little
bit,
I
know
there.
There
were
all
kinds
of
tools
and
and
so
on
and
and
and
lots
of
acronyms
frankly
that
that
go
with
those
tools
about
how
it
works,
but
the
voucher,
but
suffice
it
to
say
that
public
housing
funding
for
public
housing
owned
by
what
we
call
operating
subsidy
has
not
really
been
supported
in
Washington,
and
so
it
continues
to
decrease
on
a
per
unit
basis.
C
I
think
the
latest
I
think
we're
at
80
percent
and
I
would
have
to
check
on
the
number
of
the
sort
of
100
percent
that
we
were
20
years
ago
and
and
that's
that's
the
kind
of
math
that
we're
talking
about
so
Washington
has
continued
to
decrease
the
amount
of
funding
for
just
supporting
public
housing.
The
voucher
money,
on
the
other
hand,
section
8,
voucher,
Housing,
Choice
Voucher.
C
It
also
is
sufficient
to
operate
a
unit,
so
there
are
different
funding
equations
that
go
into
those
monies
and
the
public
housing
operating
subsidy
formula
for
funding
is
lower
than
the
voucher
money.
There's
also
some
other
things
in
you
here
you
see
it's
in
the
presentation:
tenant
protection
vouchers,
that's
a
different
type
of
voucher.
That
HUD
has
it's.
Actually
a
set-aside
funds
specifically
focused
on
where
you're
doing
redevelopment
and
others
where
it
provides
a
certain
level
of
funding.
B
A
Terms
of
what
people
would
have
to
pay
out
of
their
income
for
the
cost
of
their
housing,
so
I
find
that
interesting.
Do
you
happen
to
know
let's
if
we
could
just
take
make
it
a
more
concrete
for
me:
I
have
an
efficiency
apartment
I'm,
a
private
landlord,
I'm
gonna
rent
it
out
with
a
voucher.
How
much
would
I
get
in
compensation
for
that
or
in
payment
for
that?
And
then,
similarly,
if
it's
owned
by
mPHA,
clearly
and
and
obviously
what's
the
difference
well,.
C
There
there
is
there's
a
difference
and
it
actually
is
a
little
bit
longer
presentation.
So
let
me
see
if
I
can
get
okay.
The
bottom
line,
colonel
and
I-
do
also
want
to
go
back
to
your
comment
about
private
private
landlords.
So
the
way
the
process
works
with
the
public
housing,
we
set
a
certain
rent
for
our
properties
and
a
family
that
occupies
that
property
pays
30%
of
their
adjusted
income.
So,
even
if
the
rent
were
going
up,
they're
only
going
to
pay
30%
of
their
adjusted
income,
but.
A
C
Well,
that's
a
separate
so
I'm
the
public
housing
side
on
the
voucher
side.
The
landlord
asks
us
for
a
certain
rent
if
it
meets
our
parameters,
which
we
have
called
payment
standards
or
fair
market
rents.
You
may
hear
that
terminology.
If
it's
less
than
that,
then
we
can
negotiate
with
the
landlord
and
say:
okay,
here's
what
the
rent
for
the
unit
is
now
for
the
family
they're
still
paying
a
portion
of
their
income.
C
B
C
D
A
C
C
If
it's
so,
if
so,
let
me
let
me
see
if
I
can
say
in
another
way,
if
the
landlord
is
publishing
that
they
have
$1000,
they
have
a
unit.
That's
$1,000
2-bedroom
unit
for
$1000
and
a
family
qualifies
the
there
through
our
program
on
the
voucher
side
and
I
want
to
be
very
specific
on
the
voucher
side.
Then
we
qualify
the
family
and
they
pay
a
portion
of
their
income,
and
if
that
portion
is
only
$100
we're
paying
$900
to
that
landlord
so
that
the
landlord
gets
the
thousand
dollars.
But
of
course
it's
not
outrageous.
C
So
the
landlord
couldn't
say
that
I'm
charging
$4,000
a
month
rent
and
we
would
just
pay
the
difference.
It
has
to
be
within
our
standards
and
with
our
within
our
limits.
But
the
the
nature
of
the
program
is
that
we're
providing
we're
subsidizing
the
families
portion
of
the
rent,
the
landlord
is,
is
charging
whatever
rent
they
would
charge.
Potentially
in
the
market.
It
depends,
but
but
often
that
can
be
the
case.
B
A
E
C
B
C
C
A
F
C
This
is
where
we
have
gone
and
we
have
signed
a
long-term
contract
with
the
landlord
can
be
up
to
15
or
20
years,
where
they
say
that
they
will
make
sure
that
a
certain
number
of
units
are
available
to
low-income
families.
For
that
period
of
time.
The
beauty
of
that
program
is
it's
a
long-term
commitment,
so
they
couldn't
on
lease
renewal,
say:
okay,
we
took
low-income
families
this
year
and
next
year
we
won't
take
a
voucher
and,
of
course,
in
the
city.
C
They
can't
do
that
now,
but
but
to
the
extent
that
it's
a
long-term
arrangement,
it
makes
that
affordable
housing
available
long
term.
We
have
seven
hundred
and
ten
of
those
vouchers.
This
is
where
we're
taking
the
HUD
voucher
money
and
we're
subsidizing
the
rents
for
the
families
that
live
in
those
units.
All
right,
the
beauty
of
the
project-based
voucher
is
that
there's
there's
a
little
bit
more
flexibility
and
then
there's
this
other
thing
called
tenant
protection
vouchers,
so
I
want
to
step
back.
Hud
has
voucher
funding;
they
have
a
lot
of
different
kinds
of
vouchers.
C
C
C
A
D
A
G
A
C
A
longer
presentation-
and
then
I
also
encourage
books
to
go
to
the
full
presentation
on
our
website,
and
this
is
a
and
I
can't
do
the
math
right
this
moment.
But
the
example
that
we
gave
is
that
currently
we
get
about
thirty
nine
hundred
dollars
per
year
for
a
public
housing
unit
using
the
public
housing
money.
If
we
moved
to
a
tenant
paid
tenant
protection
vouchers,
it
would
be
about
nine
thousand,
so
that's
almost
three
times
as
much
money
that
we
would
get
from
HUD
for
supporting
that
same
unit.
C
A
C
Right
so
it's
significant
and
that's
that's
why
we're
looking
at
that
conversion,
but
but
the
important
point
is
that
we
will
continue
to
operate
it
as
public
housing,
and
so
it
doesn't
look
different
to
our
residents.
It
just
allows
us
to
continue
to
operate
and
to
make
sure
that
we
can
do
the
improvements
to
the
properties.
Well,.
A
I
appreciate
that
and
I
appreciate
my
colleagues
and
everybody
else
for
letting
me
take
us
down
a
potential
wormhole
just
as
I'm
trying
to
itself,
but
it
certainly
does
get
complicated.
I,
don't
see
any
other
questions
right
now
and
I
know
that
there
were
some
community
members
that
wanted
to
speak
for
a
little
bit.
So
why
don't
we
take
ten
minutes
and
I
unless
there's
other
questions,
I
think
councilmember
bender,
sorry
didn't
see
that
right
away,
I
tried.
I
C
With
Thank
You
councilmember
bender
with
the
last
budget,
the
2018
budget
Congress
committed
to
two
years
at
that
amount,
that's
all
the
guarantee
that
we
have
at
the
current
levels.
They
have
just
introduced
a
draft
on
the
2019
budget,
but
but
we
only,
we
only
have
sort
of
that.
You
know
explicit
commitment
to
the
two
years
beyond
that
we'll
have
to
figure
out,
but
we
have
we've
survived
all
of
these
many
years
being
creative
with
this
and
making
this
work.
So
we
will
continue
to
do
that.
All
right.
B
A
J
My
name
is
Konica
here:
I've
lived
in
Glendale
townhome,
since
I
was
four
and
I'm
turning
18
later
this
month,
so
I've
have
a
life.
Long
relationship
with
mPHA
I
know
that
they
spoke
and
really
pretty
like
romantic
terms
about
their
commitment
to
involving
residents
and
their
plans.
But
I
wanted
to
speak
with
explicit
reference
to
this
plan
and
how
they
did
it.
These
comments
were
already
submitted
to
you
earlier
this
week,
but
I
just
want
to
reiterate
the
points
that
were
made
on
them.
J
Mpha
failed
to
I'm
pH
a
failed
to
provide
access
to
the
documents
of
this
plan
by
mailing
or
delivering
the
documents
to
public
housing
residents.
They
fail
to
hold
public
meetings
to
explain
their
latest
plan.
They
failed
to
provide
a
30
day
notice
for
public
comments.
They
refused
to
hear
and
collect
public
comments
during
their
board
meeting
on
May
23rd,
where
they
approved
this
plan
and
they've
approved
this
policy
without
major
public
input
and
then
PHA
violated
the
public
comments
by
failing
to
provide
transparent
and
fair
community
engagement
processes.
J
So,
with
their
lack
of
access
to
these
plans
and
PHA
violated
city,
state
and
federal
laws
and
I,
think
that's
important.
I
think
everybody
should
know
that
the
residents
don't
know
what's
going
on
with
this,
and
so
before.
Anybody
before
City
Council
decides
to
move
forward
with
any
of
these
plans
were
approved
any
of
these
plans
or
two.
Would
it
be
all
May?
With
these
plans
there
needs
to
be
accessible.
J
But
they
haven't
done
seven,
that's
not
their
track
record.
So
we
need
to
hold
mph
at
accountable
for
this
and
I
there's.
Also
other
people
are
going
to
talk
about
the
money
that
they
they
mentioned.
The
federal
government
but
I
think
it's
also
really
quickly
before
I
leave
important
to
mention
that
the
1.1
million
dollar
weatherization
that
they
did
and
public
one
downtown
homes
was
stimulated
by
our
campaign.
J
And
helped
to
give
credit
to
those,
but
I'm
PHA
had
nothing
to
do
with
that
service.
To
take
credit
for
our
own,
to
take
ownership
for
our
labor
and
for
our
connections,
I
think
is
inauthentic
and
I.
Think
it's
also
indicative
of
how
much
there
they
are
committed
to
bending
the
truth
and
so
I.
That's
all
I
have
to
say
really,
but
you
all
need
to
hold
on
PHA
accountable.
Okay,
thank.
A
K
K
K
And
but
I
feel
like
I,
do
a
measure
on
the
gun
and
have
maja
it's
not
right
for
them
to
make
it
private.
It
led
to
some
Musa
with
it
man,
but
not
any
no
doc.
Man
I
had
done
a
Marty
I,
don't
a

I
had
the

least
so
many

I
gotta
yeah

to

since.
K
Like
2014
and
then
let's
not
miss
you
tonight
since
2014,
we're
tired
and
then
I
know,
take
it
in
a
y'know,
Martin
and
I'm
marathon
in
my
own
place
or
not,
and
no

How
much
am
I
to
do
that
in
my
hand,
the
child
are
they
with

the
end,
how
about
a

or
a

Aha

If
we

or

zodiac
Oersted
Corolla.
Mr.
E
K
K
E
K
E
A
K
E
D
I
just
wanted
to
say
it
briefly
that
this
plan
that
MPAA
has
puts
people
over
profits
and
the
city
was,
if
you
look
around
Cedar
Glendale-
will
not
be
what
it
is
today.
Without
the
people
that
lived
there
and
with
this
new
plan,
they
may
present
it
how
they
want
say,
or
the
people
only
be
paying
908,
100
and
then
it'll
stay
and
do
mph.
Everybody
clearly
states
that
they
want
to
change
this,
to
essentially
how
section
8
voucher
program
so
look
I.
F
Okay,
so
a
couple
of
things:
first
of
all,
Carson
wants
to
increase
section
8
voucher
rents
by
300%.
He
wants
to
continue
to
cut
a
section
8
funding.
Mpha
has
23
million
surplus,
which
they're
not
using
to
even-steven
repair
the
homes
the
way
they
should
all
over
the
buildings
they're.
Also,
they
also
received
for
public
housing.
Only
they
receive
42%
this
year
for
increase,
so
they're
not
missing
any
funding.
They
have
a
lot
of
money.
F
Also
such
an
aid
has
has
a
long
trend
of
displacing
residents
and
the
reason
why
they
want
to
move
from
from
public
housing
protections
of
section
8,
so
the
investors
can
benefit
from
it
and
even
in
their
own
documents,
they
say
that
we
will
have
no
control
of
the
investors
they're
given
if
they
pick
the
buildings
to
go
to
foreclosure.
So
we
need
to
be
careful
about
the
details
of
this
plan
we
want
to.
We
want
to
build
more
public.
F
F
H
I
I
I
I
B
A
You
we'll
make
sure
we
have
more
time
for
public
comment
and
hopefully
also
mPHA
will
also
offer
for
more
opportunities
for
community
engagement,
so
I'm
glad
that
we
were
able
to
at
least
accommodate
this
request.
It's
actually
unusual
that
we
take
public
comment
on
issues
here.
I
do
want
to
make
a
motion
and
see
if
anybody
has
comments
on
this
too,
though,
but
I'd
like
to
finish
up
with
this
this
piece
here,
because
we
have
another
discussion
item
on
our
agenda.
A
What
I'm
proposing
we
do
with
this
right
now
is
we
table
this
so
I
want
to
move
staff
direction
and
then
also
a
motion
to
table
this
into
until
our
July
26th
meeting
I
also
know.
There's
a
couple
council
members
who
are
working
on
a
resolution
that
will
help
clarify
I
think
some
expectations
the
city
might
have
working
with
mPHA.
A
So
my
staff
direction
would
be
to
direct
the
City
Attorney's
Office
to
return
to
the
housing
policy
Development
Committee
no
later
than
July
26th
2018,
with
a
report
on
the
legal
framework
and
relationship
between
the
city
of
Minneapolis
and
the
minneapolis
public
housing
authority,
including
a
description
of
the
unified
participation
plan,
as
defined
in
our
minneapolis
Code
of
Ordinances
420
point
one:
three:
zero,
including
how
that
plan
can
be
amended
and
also
on
the
authority
and
responsibilities
of
the
city
of
Minneapolis
over
the
minneapolis
public
housing
authority.
So
that's
the
staff
direction.
A
I
think
it's
important
for
all
the
committee
members
to
have
a
good
handle
on
the
there's,
a
part
of
our
ordinance
in
our
inner
code,
which
actually
established
the
public
housing
authority,
and
it
does
mention
this
participation
plan
which
I
haven't
been
able
to
even
find
a
copy
of,
but
I
think
maybe
we're
going
to
or
we're
gonna
or
hopefully,
work
and
see
if
somebody
has
but
there's
also,
many
state
statutes
discovering
this
too
so
I
think
it's
important.
We
get
an
understanding
of
that
structure.
A
L
C
Want
to
address
a
couple
of
points
on
one:
the
Neapolis
public
housing
authority
was
established
under
state
housing
authority
laws.
I
am
NOT
a
lawyer,
so
I
will
make
that
and
under
that
we
used
to
be
part
of
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
the
municipality
in
1991
we
separated
from
the
city.
There
was,
and
we
are
an
independent
agency
and
so
I
do
want
to
just
make
sure
that
that's
part
of
the
discussion
as
you
move
forward
and
I
know,
there
will
be
lots
of
analysis.
That's
done
in
the
background.
C
The
other
thing
if
I
could
just
take
a
quick
moment
in
terms
of
tabling
they
receive
and
file
for
this
committee.
In
terms
of
the
comments
we
have
not
talked
or
made
any
plans
about,
relocating
anybody
from
glendale
town
homes
or
any
of
the
other
properties
or
moving
anybody
out,
and
so
in
terms
of
our
commitment
to
preserving
and
creating
more
public
housing
in
the
city.
We
continue
to
do
that
and
we
will
involve
the
residents
in
that
in
the
plans
as
they're
developed.
H
The
City
Council
is
a
place
for
folks
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis
to
voice
their
concerns,
a
matter
what
they
are,
but
I'm
a
little
concerned
that
this
is
creating
some
confusion
about
our
authority
over
the
specifics
of
what's
happening
here
and
I
just
wanted
to
ask
either
our
staff
or
the
public
housing
authority
staff
to
just
just
very
basically
explain
to
us
and
in
the
public
you
know
the
public
housing
authority
was
established
under
state
statute.
It
is
governed
by
a
Board
of
Commissioners.
Could
someone
tell
us
how
the
board
of
Commission
is
selected?
H
And
then
you
know
what
Authority
we
currently
have
as
a
city
I
mean?
Oh,
we
we
contribute
them.
Our
partners
financially,
but
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
it's
clear
that
we
are
not
at
a
governing
body
that
has
any
governing
authority
over
the
Minneapolis
Public
Housing
Authority.
Perhaps
you
want
to
change
the
ordinance
or
negotiate
a
different
situation,
but
that's
my
understanding
of
the
current
situation.
Well,.
A
That's
partly
why
I
thought
I'd
have
the
staff
direction,
so
we
could
have
time
to
actually
get
a
report
back
and
get
an
outline
of
what
the
statute
says.
We
actually,
as
a
town,
we'll
approve
the
executive
director.
We
approve
all
the
board
members
who
sit
on
it.
We
also
have
to
approve
any
levying
power
and
authority
that
they
have
so
I
mean
the
city.
You
that's
in
a
nutshell,
I.
H
H
H
C
Just
addresses
just
the
the
basics
and
again
I'm,
not
our
general
counsel
is
not
present
here
and
so
I
stand
on
that
that
we
can
get
some
more
definition,
but
we
are
governed
by
a
nine-member
board
of
commissioners.
Five
of
those
commissioners,
including
the
chair,
are
appointed
by
the
mayor
of
Minneapolis
and
four
are
appointed
by
the
City
Council,
that
is
our
governing
body
for
the
minneapolis
public
housing
authority.
C
A
M
Thank
You
mr.
chair
and
thanks
to
the
committee
for
giving
me
the
opportunity
to
speak
thanks
to
the
community
members
for
coming
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
a
couple
of
things
and
I
support
the
staff
direction
that
council,
member
or
chair
Gordon
has
made
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
and
reiterate
some
of
my
own
values
with
regards
to
the
public
housing
I'm.
You
know,
I
have
17
of
the
42
high-rises
in
my
ward
and
a
huge
population.
M
M
We
want
to
keep
our
public
housing
public
and
preserve
the
stalk
of
the
public
housing
that
we
have
and
whenever
we
have
really,
we
can
have
an
opportunity
to
have
more
public
housing,
so
I
mean,
and
that
and
I
wanted
to
reiterate
that
that's
my
own
values
and
I
think
that's
a
lot
of
the
values
that
my
colleagues
do
have
as
well
and
I
haven't
heard.
No,
have
we
had,
discussions
would
mean
it
would
n
PHA
or
with
any
other
entity
with
regards
to
privatizing
public
housing
units.
M
So
I
mean
that's
what
I
wanted
to
reiterate,
but
I
do
agree
with
the
staff
direction
and
I
do
and
I
do,
and
we
also
need
to
alleviate
the
fears
that
people
have
of
gentrification,
especially
in
those
folks
that
live
in
the
public
housing
units
and
also
to
also
highlight
that
there
is
a
disconnect
between
the
people
that
live
in
the
public
housing
units
in
terms
of
the
relationship
they
have
with
the
city.
You.
L
M
Have
relationships
with
neighborhoods
some
of
the
neighborhoods?
Don't
have
good
relationship
with
the
folks,
I
live
in
a
public
housing
and
that's
something
that
I've
worked
with
discussed
with
neighborhood
without
NCR
to
have
a
better
engagement,
a
better
relationship
with
between
the
people
that
live
in
Minneapolis,
public
housing
and
the
city
of
Minneapolis
as
a
whole.
So
I
think
that
that
is
there's
a
disconnect.
M
There
were
people
who
live
in
the
high-rises
feel
that
they
are
not
connected
to
the
city
as
much
only
when
they
vote
that
they
feel
that
connected
to
the
city,
but
not
in
terms
of
that.
Actually
so
I
think
there's
much
more.
We
need
to
discuss,
but
we
need
to
read.
There
is
a
fear
of
gentrification,
there's
fear
of
people
who
have
lived
for
10,
15
20
years
that
they're
going
to
be
displaced
that
they
cannot
live
in
the
same
neighborhoods
that
they've
lived
in
and
I
think
that
also
needs
to
be.
M
A
You
I
really
appreciate
you
being
here
and
making
those
comments
and
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
my
intention
of
the
action
today
is
actually
to
improve
the
partnership
and
improve
the
cooperation.
I
think
that
I
recognize
that
supporting
and
building
in
and
maintaining
public
housing
is
going
to
be
so
critical
to
the
work
of
this
committee
in
the
next
few
years
that
public
housing
has
got
to
be
a
partner
or
gonna
be
lost.
A
Trying
to
address
this
critical
need
in
our
city,
which
is
a
loss
of
housing
for
the
people
with
the
lowest
incomes,
and
we
I
think
have
something
in
place
that
can
really
address
those
needs.
I
mean
this
is
essentially
housing,
that's
accessible
to
anybody
from
zero
income
up
so
I
think
it's
very
important.
I
also
recognize.
There's
given
even
past
actions
didn't
involve
any
employees
from
public
housing
authority
right
now,
or
maybe
not
at
least
not
the
ones
present.
A
A
As
a
council
and
as
a
committee
to
play
a
significant
role
and
what
we'll
probably
also
meet
other
eyes
and
other
entities
to
help
hold
us
all
accountable
to
move
forward
in
the
right
way
for
the
right
people
and
so
slowing
this
down
a
little
bit
getting
some
more
information,
I
think
if
we
can
all
start
from
the
same
basis
of
your
state
statute,
here's
our
Code
of
Ordinances,
here's
the
framework,
love
a
better
understanding,
the
council.
My
understanding
now
doesn't
get
to
necessarily
approve
or
not
approve
the
plan.
A
A
capital
improvement
plan
over
here
we'd
be
very
involved
in
the
levy,
but
let's
get
some
more
details
and
understand
what
do
we
play
a
role
in
and
what
don't
we
play
a
role
in
and
even
where
can
we
team
up
to
push
back?
Maybe
when
it's
clear
that
federal
national
policy
is
not
helping
and
not
being
effective
for
our
city,
because
I
think
there
are
some
opportunities
to
unite
there
as
well.
A
So
I
know
it's
unusual
to
kind
of
hold
this
over,
but
I
also
did
get
feedback
from
the
mayor's
office
as
well
as
councilmember
wars.
Tommy
about
resolution
I
believe
that
he's
working
with
council
member
jenkins
and
that
wants
to
have
more
time
to
work
on
that
and
I
think
that
resolution
could
also
help
set
us
up
for
some
good
progress
in
the
future
too.
H
H
You
know
the
legal
context
that
governs
this
organization
I
think
it's
important
to
dig
into
that
I'm,
not
not
arguing
that
we
shouldn't.
But
you
know,
the
sort
of
staff
direction
is
the
right
public
action
that
we're
taking
is
an
official
thing.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
clear
what
our
goals
are
and
what
we're
trying
to
what
the
message
we're
trying
to
send
here
is
and
and.
D
H
Want
to
note
I
mean
I,
don't
think.
We've
all
said
it,
but
I
mean
the
federal
government
has
been
gutting
a
commitment
to
public
housing
for
decades
and
local
governments
like
the
city
and
our
public
housing
authorities
are
trying
to
like
scrap
together
pennies
to
house
people
and
I'm,
not
in
any
position
to
judge
whether
people
are
good
or
bad.
H
A
B
A
B
A
A
G
Thank
You
mr.
chair
members
of
the
committee
I
am
Angie
skilled
I'm,
the
manager
of
the
residential
finance
team
at
the
City
Housing
Department
and
I'm
here
today,
to
make
a
brief
presentation
to
you
on
the
low-income
housing
tax
prep
program
and
then
offer
for
your
consideration
in
the
year,
2019
Tax
Credit,
qualified
allocation
plan
and
procedural
model
manual,
so
I'm
just
going
to
dive
right
in
to
my
presentation
very
quickly.
The
low-income
housing
tax
credit
program
is
a
federal
housing
program
that
was
created
back
in
1986.
G
It
is
governed
by
section
42
of
the
IRS
code,
so
you
may
also
hear
this
housing
referred
to,
sometimes
as
section
42
housing
and
states
receive
an
allocation
of
federal
tax
credits
based
on
their
population.
What
is
unique
is
that
Minnesota
is
the
only
state
in
the
country
where
there
are
sub
allocators
of
credits.
Typically,
the
credits
all
go
to
the
State
Housing
Finance
Agency
in
Minnesota.
There
are
I
believe
seven
sub
alligator's
of
which
Minneapolis
is
one.
G
So
we
get
our
own
special
allocation
of
credits,
both
new
construction
and
preservation,
credit
projects
are
eligible
and
how
it
works
is
that
investors,
in
exchange
for
their
investment
in
these
housing
projects,
receive
a
one
for
one
against
their
federal
tax
liability,
which
they
claimed
over
ten
years,
and
the
projects
themselves
are
subject
to
recapture
for
15
years.
If
there
are
any
compliance
violations,
there
are
two
types
of
tax
credits:
one
is
the
nine
percent
credit.
This
is
the
highly
competitive
once
a
year.
A
word
that
we
award
through
through
our
RFP
process.
G
It
is
in
very
limited
supply
and
is
of
most
value
to
projects
typically
provides
equity
and
investment,
and
that
exceeds
about
70
percent.
Of
the
total
about
my
costs.
Nine
percent
tax
credit
projects
are
required
to
maintain
their
affordability
for
30
years
and
in
Minneapolis
our
scoring
criteria
and
sense
them
to
remain
affordable
even
longer.
There
are
also
four
percent
housing
tax
credits.
These
are
credits
that
are
awarded
in
conjunction
with
our
housing
revenue.
I
G
They
are
less
valuable
to
the
overall
project.
They
typically
cover
about
30%
or
so
of
the
total
development
costs
in
Minneapolis.
We
require
that
these
projects
maintain
20
years
affordability,
but
again
our
scoring
system
and
sense
them
to
go
even
modern.
All
of
these
allocate
credits,
both
9%,
serve
and
4%,
are
awarded
pursuant
to
our
qualified
allocation
plan,
which
is
what
we
are
here
to
consider
today.
This
plan
establishes
the
amount
of
credits
that
are
available,
the
threshold
criteria
that
projects
with
must
meet
in
order
to
be
considered.
G
There
are
guidelines
for
how
to
apply
timelines,
and
then
we
establish
our
funding
priorities
and
scoring
criteria.
This
qap
is
adopted
annually
and
it
does
receive
in
Minneapolis
a
45-day
neighborhood
review.
Just
to
give
you
a
little
bit
of
an
idea
about
the
scale
of
production
that
the
city
has
achieved
through
this
program
since
it
was
started
in
1987,
the
city
has
had
about
one
hundred
and
thirty
three
tax
credit
projects,
both
9%
and
4%,
combined
here
representing
over
10,000
units,
you
can
see
on
your
slides
the
split
between
new
construction
and
preservation.
G
The
reason
those
two
lines
don't
add
up
to
133.
It's
because
often
there
have
been
the
case
where
projects
have
gone
through
both
they
both
been
newly
constructed
and
then
preserved
with
another
investment
of
tax
credits.
I
also
present
for
you
here.
The
vocational
difference
in
these
projects
of
133
71
are
located
in
poverty
or
minority
concentrated
areas
and
62
are
located
in
non
concentrated
areas
and
here's
a
map
that
just
shows
you
that
allocation
on
the
city
map.
Again
the
green
dots
represent
4%
credits,
the
orange
dots
are
9%
credits
and
then.
B
G
The
other
thing
I
mentioned
that
it's
very
unique
that
Minneapolis
is
a
sub
allocator
of
project
of
tax
credits,
something
that
makes
us
even
more
unique
is
that
Minneapolis
and
st.
Paul
together
have
created
a
joint
Housing
Finance
Board
in
1984,
via
a
joint
powers
agreement
and
the
two
cities
act
jointly
to
administer
these
programs
in
furtherance
of
the
statutory
powers
that
are
conferred
to
the
cities
in
relation
to
these
programs,
both
of
tax
credits
and
bonds.
G
There
are
three
voting
members
from
each
city
council
who
are
part
of
the
joint,
posing
finance
board,
and
this
slide
just
shows
you
a
little
bit
of
a
graphic
about
how
that
works.
So
the
responsibilities
of
the
joint
board
at
the
top
are
to
have
the
final.
Take
the
final
vote
on
the
QEP
in
the
manual.
They
also
hold
the
required
public
hearing
for
the
for
this
document,
and
then
they
allocate
the
authority
they
defer
back
to
the
two
cities
councils
respectively,
on
the
actual
recommendations
of
the
credits.
G
G
So
that
brings
us
to
the
task
at
hand
today,
which
is
a
consideration
of
the
year.
2019
qualified
allocation
plan
and
procedural
manual
see
pet
on
behalf
of
the
Joint
Board
anticipates
having
just
over
1.5
million
dollars
of
tax
credits
available
this
year
in
canoe,
in
conjunction
with
our
legal
counsel,
to
tack
rock
made
a
special
effort
this
year
to
really
overhaul
these
documents
in
terms
of
streamlining
them,
making
them
more
readable
a
little
bit
more
clarity.
This
hadn't
been
done
in
several
years,
and
this
resulted
in
numerous.
G
Instructional
revisions
to
the
documents
to
improve
clarity
and
readability.
For
that
reason,
we
weren't
able
to
really
provide
for
you
a
redline
document
between
last
year's
version
and
this
year's
version
because
it
came,
it
came
very
cluttered.
So
the
redline
document
that
is
in
front
of
you
today
is
simply
indicating
the
changes
that
are
being
proposed
between
when
the
QAP
and
procedural
mana
went
out
for
public
comment
and
then
what
staff
is
bringing
in
as
a
recommendation
for
you
today.
G
So
in
addition
to
the
administrative
changes
that
I
just
referenced,
staff
is
also
recommending
several
substantive
changes,
in
conformance
with
federal
and
state
regulations,
national
best
practices
and
tax
credit
allocation
and
in
order
to
establish
greater
consistency
with
Minnesota
Housing,
Finance
Agency
and
the
city
of
st.
Paul
or
that's
possible
staff
sent,
as
I
mentioned,
these
documents
out
for
45-day,
community
and
neighborhood
review,
and
we
received
three
comments
which
I
believe
have
been
distributed
to
the
council
and
also
provided
to
the
clerk.
G
Previously,
we
had
indicated
that
a
project
would
need
to
meet
a
50%
of
the
unit
threshold
to
qualify
that
was
in
excess
of
the
state
statute.
We
received
comment
from
that
regarding
that
from
the
community
and
staff
today
is
recommending
that
we
remove
that
50%
threshold
and
just
go
strictly
with
the
same
language.
That
is
a
State
statute,
so
I'm
not
going
to
go
through
in
detail
all
of
the
other
changes
they
are
reflected
for
you
in
the
RCA
and
Steph
has
also
briefed
all
the
committee
members
on
these
changes
for
the
public
record.
G
They
are
also
reflected
on
the
slide
that
is
up
right
now,
and
so
the
next
step
will
be
for
the
Joint
Board
to
meet
and
to
hold
the
required
public
hearing
on
these
documents
and
vote
for
their
final
approval.
This
meeting
is
currently
scheduled
for
July
and
subsequent
to
that
see,
ped
staff
will
proceed
with
the
year
2019
low
income,
housing
tax,
credit
RFP,
the
application
deadline
for
that
will
be
in
August,
and
then
staff
will
return
to
this
committee
and
the
council
to
allocate
those
credits
to
selected
projects,
probably
in
October.
B
L
A
Don't
see
any
other
questions
and
just
to
clarify
you'll,
be
authorized
to
go
ahead
and
write
and
issue
the
RFP.
I
won't
be
coming
back
to
us
to
see
that
and
if
the,
if
the,
if
the
board
somehow
had
any
changes
that
to
make
that
wouldn't
necessarily
come
back
to
us
either
that
would
just
go
on.
So
we
are
touching
it
where
we
will
touch
it
and
hopefully
in
July
it
will
get
approved
by
the
council.
G
A
See
I
haven't
been
that
at
a
meeting
with
you
yet
great
and
I
also
I
appreciate
all
the
time
you
took
to
brief
committee
members
on
this
and
it
was
really
complicated
but
I.
Think
I
don't
see
any
questions
here,
so
you
must
have
done
a
good
job
and
answered
all
