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,
October
23rd
I
have
been
joined
by
quorum
of
the
committee,
including
council
members,
Fletcher,
Ellison
and
Cunningham
and
I
expect
we'll
be
joined
by
the
rest
of
the
committee.
Shortly
we
have
a
number
of
items
on
the
consent
agenda
this
morning.
They
include
the
liquor
this
afternoon.
A
They
include
the
liquor,
license,
approvals
and
liquor,
license
renewals,
business,
license,
renewals
and
gambling
license
renewals
and
approvals,
as
well
as
a
license
settlement
conference
recommendation,
refinancing
of
notes
for
a
line,
a
Health
System,
a
rental
ice
to
rental,
three
rental
license
reinstatements
and
setting
a
public
hearing
and
item
number
16.
Are
there
any
items
anyone
would
like
to
pull
on
the
consent
agenda
items
6
through
16?
Seeing
none
I
will
move
approval
of
the
consent
agenda,
all
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye
any
opposed
those
items
are
approved.
A
B
You,
madam
chair
item,
number
1
the
amendments
that
are
here
before
you
today.
If
pass,
will
condense
tears
system
of
classifying
entertainment
for
alcohol
establishments
down
to
a
three
tier
system
by
condensing
condensing
the
classifications,
businesses
will
be
allowed
to
offer
a
wider
variety
of
entertainment
and,
most
importantly,
for
some
businesses.
They
will
be
not
restricted
by
the
number
of
musicians
that
are
allowed
to
be
offered
and
not
being
held
to
certain
count.
So
the
new
tiers
that
we're
proposing
will
be
a
tier
that
has
no
live
entertainment
whatsoever.
B
The
second
tier
would
be
limited,
entertainment
that
would
allow
for
entertainment,
like
literary
readings,
storytelling
live
solo,
comedians,
kuroky,
amplified
or
non
amplified,
music
by
disc
jockey
and
by
musicians
group
singing
by
patrons
of
the
establishment
and
no
patron
dancing
and
then
the
higher
level
the
highest
of
the
tiers.
The
third
one
is
general
entertainment,
which
is
all
of
that
entertained,
including
dancing,
so
businesses
will
continue
to
be
responsible
for
managing
how
their
entertainment
impacts
a
community
around
them.
B
The
business
community
community
has
been
informed
of
this
new
classification
and
the
new
fees
from
the
condensing,
and
this
has
gone
on
through
our
engagement
and
the
public
hearing
process
over
the
last
couple
of
years.
They
will
begin
if
passed,
to
get
their
new
license
certificates
with
these
classifications
and
renewal
bills
in
2019,
but
if
this
passes
will
be
allowed
to
offer
that
expanded
entertainment
level
once
it
goes
through
a
full
City
Council.
B
As
I
said,
business
licensing
has
been
working
with
the
industry
on
these
amendments
for
many
years
to
get
the
right
formula,
we've
used
our
business
advisory
group
and
our
link
group,
which
is
our
liquor
in
industry
and
the
city
meetings
to
come
up
with
the
right
formula.
Public
hearing
notices
were
sent
to
all
709
current
on
sale,
alcohol
businesses,
our
neighborhood
and
business
associations,
and
we've
received
one
letter
of
support.
I
want
to
recognize
the
work
of
lead
inspector,
Michelle,
Harvey
and
district
supervisor
Amy
lingo
for
their
work
on
these
amendments.
B
B
That
is,
we
call
the
liquor
code
while
keeping
the
structure
that
keeps
Minneapolis
strong
in
place,
keeping
our
music
legend
Prince
in
mind
and
on
my
t-shirt
he
would
say
we
should
party
like
his
1999
and
I
would
say
that
I
hope
that
he
would
be
proud
that
we,
as
we
work
together
on
these
amendments,
that
we
are
going
to
be
supporting
our
entertainment
economy
in
Minneapolis
and
moving
into
the
new
millennia
I'm
available.
If
you
have
any
questions
any.
A
Questions
for
staff
item
number
1,
seeing
none.
Thank
you
for
your
report.
I
want
to
thank
staff
for
their
very
good
work
and
open
the
public
hearing
on
item
number,
one
which
has
changes
to
our
liquor,
license
classes
and
allowable
entertainment
ordinance.
Is
there
anyone
here
to
speak
to
this
issue?
Please
step
forward
and
state
your
name
and
address
for
the
record.
C
This
has
been
in
process
for
some
time,
and
so
I'm
happy
to
be
here
with
my
bandmate
nicole
today
we
have,
you
know
particular
interest
in
seeing
a
more
expansive
definition
of
how
many
musicians
can
be
on
stage
and
what
we
would
encourage
is
to
base
that
on
some
kind
of
more
scientific,
a
rational
approach,
which
was
to
say,
get
a
decibel
meter
and
stand
outside
the
business.
And
then
that
way
you
can
tell,
if
they're
being
a
nuisance
to
the
community.
C
But
I'll
give
a
quick
example
a
handful
of
years
ago,
my
band,
which
at
full
strength
is
five
people
was
playing
at
the
Riverview
cafe,
and
this
was
kind
of
before
we
knew
that
this
restriction
was
in
place.
We
were
doing
a
CD
release,
show
and
for
the
heinous
crime
of
having
five
musicians
onstage
inside
a
building
or
nobody
could
hear
what
was
going
on
outside.
It
cost
eleven
hundred
dollars.
C
For
that
CD
release
party,
because
the
owner
was
fine
to
me,
it
was
it
was
ironic
or
maybe
a
Titan
when
he's
not
the
right
word,
but
the
the
neighbor
who
called
in
the
complaint
had
had
to
come
into
the
into
the
establishment
to
see
that
there
are
only
five
people
there.
As
I
say,
there
was
no
noise
outside
in
this
individual
I
loved
harley-davidson
motorcycle
riders,
but
they
happen
to
be
a
Harley
rider.
C
I
would
observe
they
made
more
noise
moving
through
the
neighborhood
to
and
from
their
house
than
we
ever
did
playing
concerts
there
over
the
years.
So
I'm
just
looking
for
you
know
to
speak
out
in
support
of
a
rational
solution
to
this
problem,
so
that
small
business
owners
have
the
opportunity
to
to
enjoy
the
talents
of
local
musicians
without
consideration
for
how
many
of
them
there
are
one
person
with
a
drum
kit
or
a
stack
of
Marshall
amps
behind
them
can
make
a
lot
of
noise.
C
A
A
B
You,
madam
chair
item,
number
two
with
the
amendments
that
are
there.
If
passed,
will
move
existing
off
sale
spacing
requirements
that
are
currently
in
city
charter
into
city
ordinance.
There
are
no
proposed
changes
to
how
off
sale
establishments
are
regulated,
it's
just
where
the
regulations
are
located
and
kept.
B
The
Charter,
Commission
and
city
staff
support
that
this
placement
of
these
requirements
are
better
fit
in
ordinance,
and
it
is
worth
noting
that
it's
a
proactive
measure
in
case
the
ballot
option
on
removing
the
restriction
for
on
sale
establishments
is
successful,
and
in
this
this
year's
ballot
I'm
available.
If
there's
any
questions,
are.
A
There
any
questions
for
Miss
Roberts
on
item
number,
two,
seeing
none
we'll
open
the
public
hearing
on
item
number
two,
which
is
off
sale,
liquor,
spacing
requirements
changing
from
charter
to
ordinance.
If
the
ballot
measure
passes
is
there
anyone
here
to
speak
to
this
issue?
Anyone
anyone
seeing
none,
we'll
close
the
public
hearing
council
member
Ellison,
chair.
A
B
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
The
item
number
three
is
from
applicant
cutting
millage
hospitality.
The
DBA
is
arte
and
peacock
lounge.
It's
located
at
323,
13th
Avenue,
Northeast
Minneapolis.
The
application
is
for
an
upgraded
license
of
a
Class
B
license.
As
we
were
just
discussing.
It
would
be
a
general
entertainment
light,
since
that
would
allow
dancing
it
was
previously
licensed
with
a
class
c-1
license
which
would
have
allowed
for
musicians
up
to
five.
B
So
that's
the
way
the
the
new
regulations
would
go
in
place,
there's
going
to
be
a
new
proprietor
at
this
business
and
they
are
also
requesting
a
sidewalk
cafe,
expansion,
the
sidewalk
cafe,
expansion
would
allow
for
in
or
for
operations
between
4
p.m.
and
10
p.m.
daily
and
on
the
weekends.
Until
11
p.m.
B
this
restaurant
will
operate
much
in
the
same
way
that
it
has.
In
the
past,
with
the
new
proprietor
as
a
full
restaurant,
we
did
have
a
public
hearing
requirement
because
of
the
increase
of
entertainment
and
the
sidewalk
cafe.
Public
hearing
notices
were
sent
to
residents
and
property
owners
within
the
300
feet
of
the
premises.
We've
received
two
responses.
They
are
both
in
support
of
the
business
lead,
licensed
inspector
Julie,
Casey
reviewed
the
application
for
minimum
standards
and
is
making
a
recommendation
to
approve
the
license.
Are.
A
E
Kelly
millage
4101,
it
didn't
Brooke
Terrace,
North,
Brooklyn,
Park
Minnesota,
and
this
is
my
husband,
Adam
village.
At
the
same
address
we
will
be
the
new
proprietors
of
eret
and
the
peacock
lounge,
and
we
just
wanted
to
introduce
ourselves
and
say
we
look
forward
to
a
long
partnership
with
the
city
of
Minneapolis
and
thank
you
for
your
consideration
today.
Also,
we
wanted
to
thank
and
recognize
Julie
Casey
she's
been
instrumental
in
helping
us
a
symbol.
All
the
parts
and
pieces
of
the
liquor
license
and
really
appreciate
her
assistance
through
the
process.
Oh
great.
F
A
Number
three
has
been
moved
for
approval,
further
comments
or
questions,
seeing
none
all
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye
any
opposed.
That
item
is
approved,
we'll
move
on
then
to
item
number
4,
which
is
advance
notice
for
multifamily
rental
dwellings,
we'll
have
a
presentation
from
staff
and
then
we
will
open
the
public
hearing.
Miss
Brennan
welcome.
G
Thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
committee
I'm
Andrea
Brennan,
director
of
housing
policy
and
development
in
Community,
Planning
and
Economic
Development
Department.
Also
with
me,
our
colleagues
Noah
sheckman,
director
of
regulatory
services
and
Erik
Nielsen,
deputy
city
attorney
in
the
Civil
Division.
G
I'm
gonna
spend
a
little
bit
of
time
this
afternoon,
just
talking
a
little
bit
about
the
demographic
and
market
trends
that
informed
this
proposed
policy.
Then
I'll
touch
on
the
highlights
of
the
proposed
proposed
ordinance
and
then
finally
talked
a
little
bit
about
the
development
of
the
proposed
ordinance
in
the
context
of
what's
happening
in
the
region.
G
So,
first
some
trends.
As
we
all
know,
Minneapolis
is
now
a
majority
renter
population.
Most
people
of
color
are
renters,
while
white
residents
are
more
likely
to
own.
Instead
of
rent,
the
Green
Line
shows
renter
households
from
2000
to
2014.
You
can
see,
that's
increased
to
52%
and
the
blue
line
is:
is
owner
owner
occupied
households
from
2000
to
2014,
renter
occupied
units
have
had
the
largest
share
since
2010
of
increase
and
renter
households
are
growing
faster
than
owner
households.
G
Minneapolis
renters
spend
a
disproportionate
amount
on
housing.
Some
renters
are
more
likely
to
be
cost
burdened.
Then
owners
are
the
chart
to
the
right
shows
by
race,
the
percentage
of
households
that
are
renters
and,
as
you
can
see,
white
households
are
the
only
majority
homeowner
demographic
or
racial
group
in
our
city,
Cosford
and
households
are
are
defined
as
such
if
they
pay
more
than
30%
of
their
income
for
housing
and
households
are
considered
to
be
severely
Cosford
and
if
they
spend
more
than
50%
of
their
income
on
housing.
G
Naturally-Occurring,
affordable,
housing
or
Noah
is
generally
considered
to
be
housing
that
is
affordable
to
households
at
an
income
at
or
about
sixty
percent
of
area,
median
income
or
below
City
Minneapolis.
We
have
about
95,000
rental
units
about
29
percent
of
them
are
in
one
to
three
unit
dwellings,
and
so
we
have
less
market
data
available
on
that
that
portion
of
our
rental
housing
stock,
71
percent
of
the
rental
units
are
in
four
or
more
unit
buildings,
and
we
do
have
quite
a
bit
of
data
on
that
subset
of
our
rental
housing
stock.
G
If
you
look
over
to
the
right,
it
shows
by
by
neighborhood
the
number
of
NOAA
units
or
units
that
are
affordable
to
households
at
or
below,
sixty
percent
of
area
median
income.
So
the
darker,
the
shading,
the
more
units
that
that
are
available
in
those
in
those
neighborhoods,
just
to
note
that
in
some
neighborhoods
that
have
a
high
percentage
of
its
rental
housing
stock
in
one
to
three
unit
buildings
that
they
they
would
be
underrepresented
on
this
map.
G
So
these
trends
and
data
have
informed
the
city's
nowa
preservation
strategy
and
the
city
is
know.
Preservation
strategy
is
multifaceted.
It
includes
incentives
for
existing
the
owners
through
the
40
pilot,
which
will
and
the
proposed
for
the
broader
program
which
will
be
presented
at
housing
policy
and
Development
Committee
tomorrow.
G
It
includes
support
for
the
acquisition
of
NOAA
properties
by
preservation,
buyers
who
are
committed
to
addressing
quality
issues
and
keeping
rents
affordable,
and
our
strategy
also
includes
supporting
tenants.
For
several
years
now,
we've
supported
the
tenant
hotline
serving
3,000
renters
annually,
with
information
and
referrals,
and
this
year
we
are
entering
into
a
contract
with
legal
aid
and
volunteer
lawyers
network
to
expand
legal
services
to
help
tenants
have
representation
around
repair
issues.
G
That
brings
us
to
the
proposed
ordinance
before
you
today,
which
is
a
policy
part
of
the
strategy
to
to
provide
advanced,
require
advance
notice
of
sale.
The
goal
of
this
proposed
ordinance
is
to
support
the
normal
preservation
efforts
that
I've
outlined
to
arm
tenants
with
more
information
about
what
may
be
happening
in
their
to
their
building
and
also
to
provide
tenant
protections
after
a
sale
occurs.
G
G
No
property
for
purposes
of
this
ordinance
is
defined
as
property
with
five
or
more
units
and
where
at
least
20%
of
the
units
are
affordable
to
households
with
incomes
at
or
below
60%
of
the
area.
Median
income
and
again,
the
goal
of
this
notice
is
to
provide
potential
preservation,
buyers
and
tenants
information
earlier
in
the
process.
G
The
second
notice
is
notice
of
sale
of
actual
sale.
New
owners
would
be
required
to
give
notice
to
all
tenants
of
affordable
units
and
the
city
within
30
days
of
the
sale
in
the
notice
informing
tenants
of
the
tenant
protections
that
are
triggered
by
this
ordinance.
The
tenant
protections
would
be
in
place
for
90
days
after
the
sale
after
the
notice
of
sale
is
given
to
tenants.
The
tenant
protections
indicate
that
the
the
tenant
is
would
be
eligible
for
relocation
assistance.
G
If
the
new
new
owner
takes
one
of
three
actions,
either
terminates
or
does
not
renew
a
lease
without
cause
increases
the
rent
or
initiates
a
rescreening
process.
Again,
this
is
during
the
the
90
day,
post
sale
protection
period,
and
if
the
owner
does
take
one
of
these
three
out
the
three
actions,
then
the
tenant
would
be
eligible
for
relocation.
Assistance
in
the
amount
of
three
months
rent
proposed
exceptions
to
the
notice
of
sale
ordinance
is
that
it
would
not
apply
to
affordable
housing
buildings
subject
to
rent
or
income
restrictions.
G
That
will
continue
to
be,
in
effect
after
the
sale.
Second,
that
it
wouldn't
apply
to
the
sale
or
transfer
of
an
affordable
housing
building.
If
the
new
owner
is
already
participating
in
or
will
participate
in
the
city's
4d
program,
and
finally,
it
would
not
apply
to
the
sale
or
transfer
of
an
affordable
housing
building
through
a
1031
exchange.
G
The
wanted
to
say
a
couple
of
things
about
the
development
of
this
proposed
ordinance
this.
This
is
the
culmination
of
work
that
began
in
2016
and
the
city
convened
a
working
group
that
included
tenant,
advocates
and
partners
and
has
involved
discussions
with
the
Minnesota
multi
Housing
Association
other
cities
counties
other
jurisdictions.
G
We've
also
looked
at
policies
from
across
the
country,
we've
consulted
with
preservation,
buyers
of
affordable
housing
and
affordable
developers
and
census.
Work
has
begun.
A
few
suburban
communities
have
adopted
policies
or
ordinances
that
provide
just
the
post
sale
tenant
protections
that
are
proposed
in
this
ordinance
and
those
cities
include
San
Luis,
Park,
Ridge,
building,
Golden
Valley.
G
There
are
also
some
suburban
communities
that
are
considering
adopting
again
the
put
the
post
sale,
tenant
protection
aspect
of
this
ordinance,
the
ordinance
that
that
we're
proposing
for
Minneapolis
encompasses
not
just
the
post
sale,
tenant
protections,
but
also
advanced
notice
of
sale
requirements.
There
are
two
reasons
for
this
being
included.
G
One
is
that
it
is
the
nature
of
NOAA
property
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis.
The
average
size
of
the
NOAA
of
NOAA
properties
here
is
17
units,
which
is
pretty
small
and
and
to
make
sure
that
it
that
potential
preservation
buyers
are
aware
of
properties
that
are
smaller
in
size,
are
available
to
sale
for
purchase
potentially,
and
also
so
that
tenants
have
more
information
about
what
may
be
happening
to
their
building
earlier
on.
G
A
H
G
I'm
sure
I
can
attempt
and
then
ask
my
colleagues
to
chime
in
if,
if
needed,
so
1031
exchange
is,
is
is
allowed
for
multifamily
owners
who
sell
a
building
and
if
they're,
able
to
use
those
proceeds
to
purchase
a
new
building
within
the
same
calendar
year,
then
that
that
has
financial
benefit
to
them
or
another
way
to
say
it
would
be
that
it
prevents
them
from
paying
having
financial
penalties.
So
the
often
times
we
understand
that
these
transactions
need
to
happen
very
quickly,
sometimes
before
the
end
of
a
calendar
year.
H
H
D
A
We
also
have
the
prerogative
not
to
exclude
1031
exchanges,
but
in
talking
to
both
sides
of
it
we're
trying
to
find
a
compromise
yeah
so
that
obviously
people
who
own
property
wanted
that
that
was
a
kind
of
a
baseline
thing
for
them
and
I
think
on
the
tenant
protection
side.
Ensuring
the
tenant
protection
is
probably
a
baseline
thing
for
them,
so
we're
trying
to
not
have
anyone
have
a
lose-lose
but
try
to
create
a
win-win
cool.
Other
questions.
Okay,
seeing
none!
A
Thank
you
for
your
report,
we'll
open
the
public
hearing
on
item
number
four,
which
is
the
current
proposal
for
advanced
notice,
can
I
just
see
a
show
of
hands
of
how
many
people
would
like
to
speak.
So
it's
not
a
huge
number.
So,
given
that
that's
a
small
number,
I
would
suggest
that
maybe,
instead
of
two
minutes,
we
go
to
five,
because
it's
a
small
number
of
people
and
I
would
ask
you
to
come
forward
and
just
state
your
name
and
address
for
the
record.
I'll
note
that
almost
everyone
in
this
room
is
someone.
A
I
Good
afternoon,
thank
you
for
hearing
me
out.
My
name
is
Bernadette
Hornig
and
you
can
find
me
at
1,000.
West
22nd
Street
in
Minneapolis
I
have
wanted
to
speak
to
this
ordinance
today.
I
support
the
tenant
protection
section
of
this.
In
fact,
I
worked
closely
with
many
people
in
this
room
on
the
st.
Louis
Park
language.
That
was
I
believe
this
was
modeled
after
and
I
am
supportive
of
this
and
I'm
glad
to
see
the
city
of
Minneapolis.
I
The
pipeline
is
good
business
practice
and
is
something
that
should
be
codified
in
city
ordinance
and
I
support
that,
as
far
as
the
sixty
days
in
advance,
I'm
concerned
about
unintended
consequences
and
I
feel
like
we
need
more
data
under
to
understand
the
economic
impact
of
slowing
down
the
transactions
and
also
posting
the
buildings
I'm
concerned
about
upsetting
my
tenants.
We
don't
sell
a
lot
of
buildings
but
I'm
concerned
about
upsetting
tenants
but,
most
importantly,
upsetting
my
staff
in
these
mark
and
this
brenell
market.
I
It
is
extremely
hard
to
find
qualified
maintenance
and
management,
technicians
and
I'm
concerned
that,
if
you
post
the
building
and
tell
everybody
that
you
may
be
selling
in
the
next
60
days
that
your
staffs
going
to
quit
and
what
are
you
going
to
do
to
manage
a
building
for
60
days?
You
have
to
do
maintenance.
You
have
to
take
care
of
your
existing
tenants
and
how
are
you
going
to
replace
and
hire
those
people
for
60
days?
That's
a
long
period
of
time
for
potentially
no
maintenance
and
no
management.
I
I
We've
been
in
business
for
60
years
and
we
consider
ourselves
a
NOAA
provider
and
olicity
has
been
studying
this
issue
since
2016,
but
we've
been
doing
it
for
60
years
and
we
know
our
other
housing
providers
and
as
as
Miss
Brennan
indicated,
the
velocity
of
sales
has
increased
in
a
lot
of
that
is
due
to
the
fact
that
people
are
eight.
The
owners
are
aging
they're,
80
years
old,
they're
ready
to
sell.
I
They
don't
have
the
family
business
that
we
have
in
place
and
they're
interested
in
selling
their
buildings
to
people
with
similar
business
practices
to
their
own,
and
so
we
have
acquired
many
other
family
portfolios
because
they
want
to
sell
it
to
another
family
who's,
going
to
conduct
business
similar
to
how
they
are
going
to
conduct
business
and
that's
very
normal.
We
pay
them
the
price.
If
we
didn't
pay
it,
it
would
go
out
to
the
private
market,
but
we
feel
like
we're
good
provider,
we're
good
operator
in
the
city.
I
We
have
Tier
one
only
properties
and
I
think
the
city
should
recognize
that
and
I
know
that
you
want
to
increase
the
availability
to
other
preservation
buyers
which
to
me
honestly,
and
all
these
conversations
means
nonprofits.
There's
not
a
lot
of
discussion
of
for-profit
preservation
buyers,
but
I
would
argue
that
there's
many
in
the
city
and
I'm
concerned
that
these
legacy
sales
will
be
impacted
and
again
it
to
the
negative
detriment
of
the
tenants,
the
city
of
Minneapolis
and
the
neighbors
again.
I
I
support
the
tenant
protection,
but
I
feel
like
we
need
to
understand
the
economic
impact
for
people.
These
are
our
businesses.
This
is
what
we
do
for
the
sellers
and
for
the
buyers
and
for
the
tenants
I
encourage
you
to
set
aside
the
60
day,
advance
known
as
provision
take
action
on
the
90
day,
tenant
protection,
second
notice
and
study
the
issue
further,
because
I
feel
like
there's
going
to
be
unintended
consequences
and
potential
negative
impact
to
the
city
and
our
rental
housing
market
and
an
already
unstable
and
extremely
tight
market.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
J
The
problem
is
that
those
actions
typically
do
not
happen
with
private,
privately
negotiated
off
market
sales,
where
typically
it's
instead
of
an
owner,
going
to
a
broker
publicly
announcing
the
properties
for
sale.
It
comes
about
as
a
result
of
private
conversations.
A
potential
buyer
may
approach
the
owner,
they
may
have
discussions
and
that
leads
to
sales,
and
those
are
the
category
of
sales
that
preservation,
buyers
typically,
don't
know
about,
and
those
are
where
I
think
an
advanced
notice
of
sale
requirement
could
actually
be
the
most
useful.
J
J
Our
main
concern
is
that
the
information
that
we've
heard
is
that
there
are
many
transactions
that
are
1031
exchanges,
and
our
concern
is
that
this
could
nullify
a
lot
of
the
impact
of
the
advance
notice
requirement.
We
understand
the
challenges
for
owners
seeking
to
use
this
I
just
think
it's
an
issue.
We
ought
to
explore
a
little
more
before
doing
a
blanket
exemption
for
those
kind
of
transactions.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
K
L
Afternoon
madam
chair
missile,
Smith
members
of
the
committee
I
reside
at
1331,
Washington
Street,
northeast
on
the
city,
resident
and
rental
property
owner
I'm
here
to
offer
two
points
of
consumer
propose
the
woman's
first,
the
city
will
be
regulating
the
market
for
the
sale
of
real
estate.
With
this
ordinance
today,
this
has
been
overseen
by
the
Minnesota
by
the
Department
of
Commerce.
So
this
is
president
sitting.
They
were
venturing
into
this
area
of
law.
L
L
We've
warned
the
city
during
the
formulation
of
this
policy
that
the
city
will
in
essence
be
creating
a
listing
service
for
highly
desired,
naturally
occurring
affordable
housing
rather
than
off-market
deals
that
might
preserve
affordability
and
result
in
a
more
modest
sale.
The
city
can
expect
a
bidding
war
on
these
properties
by
out-of-state
buyers,
driving
at
the
sale
price
and
reducing
housing
affordability.
L
This
is
counter
to
the
goal
that
the
city
has
set
for
preserving
affordable
housing
and
contract,
to
the
assumption
that
owners
are
only
interested
in
the
highest
sale
price.
Many
owners
seek
off
market
transactions
where
different
considerations
come
into
force.
This
ordinance
guarantees
that
that
opportunity
is
eliminated.
L
Second,
as
my
colleague
Bernadette
had
pointed
out,
the
provision
that
says
the
written
notice
shall
be
posted
in
the
common
area
of
the
building
no
later
than
60
days
prior
to
the
affordable
housing
building
be
made
available
for
sale,
creates
unnecessary
anxiety
among
residents.
There's
no
guarantee
of
a
forthcoming
sale,
only
a
purchase
agreement
does
then
the
residents
might
react
to
this
advice
notice.
An
employee's
has
Bernadette
pointed
out.
L
Any
organizations
that
might
be
facilitating
creating
resident
coops
will
already
have
the
notice
at
the
CPF
director
and
can
engage
the
residents
and
the
owner
directly.
If
that
is
a
possibility
during
the
60-day
notice
period
and
this
tenant
notice,
provisions
should
be
eliminated
or
at
least
modified
to
the
purchase
agreement
phase.
M
You
good
afternoon,
madam
chair
members
of
the
committee,
my
name
is
Marty
McDonough
I'm,
the
government
affairs
director
for
the
Minnesota
multi
Housing,
Association
I,
think
this
is
my
first
time
before
your
new
committee,
so
I'll
just
tell
you
that
we're
a
statewide
trade
association
of
apartment
owners,
property
managers,
the
product
service
companies
and
we're
headquartered
in
Bloomington
Minnesota.
We
managed
and
owned
just
under
350
thousand
housing
units
throughout
the
state.
M
Their
comments
were
that
city
ordinances
affected
that
affect
the
three
free
markets,
will
add
risk
and
will
slow
the
flow
of
capital.
We've
been
the
beneficiaries
of
major
investments
in
our
industry
in
recent
years
here
in
Minneapolis,
and
they
fear
that
this
ordinance
will
put
that
at
risk.
For
instance,
Portland
Oregon
passed
a
similar
ordinance
that
drove
the
entire
multifamily
housing
development
development
market.
To
a
halt,
not
a
single
multifamily
building
permit
was
issued
for
a
year
after
they
enacted
this
ordinance
or
one
similar
to
it.
M
So
the
questions
are
about
around
what
analysis
was
done
and
what
this
is
going
to
do
to
the
real
estate
market,
and
if
that
studies
been
done,
we
haven't
seen
it,
but
we
like
to.
We
have
a
lot
of
members
in
Minneapolis
that
operate
and
provide
thousands
of
NOAA
units
like
the
hornings,
without
any
government
assistance.
In
fact,
sometimes
these
units
are
below
market
rent
if
an
owner
has
good
paying
responsible,
long
term
tenants
and
don't
want
them
to
leave.
M
There
are
thousands
of
units
in
Minneapolis
that
are
probably
within
a
hundred
fifty
to
a
hundred
dollars
per
month
of
qualifying
as
a
NOAA
unit,
and
if
someone
wanted
to
avoid
this
ordinance,
they
would
simply
just
have
to
raise
their
rent
by
that
amount.
So
we
think
there's
just
too
many
questions
around
the
advanced
notice
of
sale
to
move
forward
at
this
time.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
H
I
think
that
by
keeping
it
secret
and
maybe
letting
the
CEPA
director
know
so
they
can
tell
their
friends.
That's
it's
gonna,
be
public
information.
If
the
city
gets
it
anyway
or
it
ought
to
be
public
information
anyway
and
I.
Think
if
you
actually
want
to
have
give
the
tenants
an
opportunity
to
think
about
organizing
and
purchasing
a
building
and
making
an
offer
on
it
waiting
until
there's
a
purchase
agreement
undermines
that
altogether.
So
I
don't
know
that.
H
That's
a
very
good
trigger
for
that
either
I
think
advance
notice
is
critically
important
to
me,
and
that
was
one
of
the
main
things.
I
appreciate
the
same
protections.
Enormous
Lee
as
well
and
I
do
understand
that
and
think
that
it's
fine,
if
it
goes
there
I
know
that
a
lot
of
people
also
publicly
list
their
properties
when
they're
gonna
sell
so
I.
H
That
must
trick
the
market
to
and
put
things
way
out
of
distortion
instead
of
having
the
secret
close
deals
between
friends
and
relatives,
the
way
that
it
could
operate,
maybe
I,
don't
know
so.
This
is
just
a
another
way
to
kind
of
put
it
out
in
the
open
and
help
us
all
understand
and
participate
in
things
that
are
going
on
and
give
an
opportunity.
I
think
that
looking
back
makes
a
lot
of
sense
after
we
drive
this
for
a
while
to
see
if
it
does
have
a
big
impact
on
the
market.
H
I
also
appreciate
some
fears
that
it
will
drive
the
cost
up
and
create
these
bidding
wars,
which
I
guess
must
happen
every
time
some
property's
listed
on
the
market,
and
then
it's
open
for
that
too.
But
we
could
see
if
that
happens,
if
we
look
back
in
six
months
or
a
year
and
see
if
it
made
any
any
difference
at
all.
I
would
also
like
to
get
more
information
about
the
tent.
How
many
1031
s
there
are
and
how
that's
going
to
impact
this.
H
That
actually
feels
like
a
pretty
potentially
pretty
large
compromise
that
we're
basically
going
to
be
giving
a
benefit
to
the
most
savvy
people
who
are
out
there
doing
business
and
know
how
to
understand
to
do
this
and
then
they'll
protect
a
lot
from
their
taxes
and
and
they
can
invest
it
in
their
next
property.
So
I'm
a
little
bit
concerned
about
slippery
slope
of
the
1030
ones.
H
I
can
appreciate
how
the
authors
think
that's
making
a
compromise
and
trying
to
find
some
middle
ground,
though,
and
I'm
willing
to
look
at
that,
especially
if
we
made
sure
that's
part
of
the
study
when
we
look
back
at
this
ordinance
after
it
passes,
which
I'm
expecting
it
will
and
hoping
it
will
and
I
intend
to
vote
for
the
substitute
that
comes
forward,
that
it
refines
it
a
little
bit
because
I'm
expecting
it
to
keep
some
of
those
provisions.
That
I
just
talked
about
here.
That
I
think
are
so
important.
D
I'll
just
say
that
I
really
respect
the
amount
of
effort,
the
be
that
the
authors
have
put
into
this
that
you've
put
into
this,
and
this
is
gonna,
be
you
know,
I
are
one
of
several
policies
that
we're
gonna
be
passing
in
the
near
future.
That
really
looks
to
prevent
this
placement
that
looks
to
stabilize
tenants
that
looks
to
create
tenant
protections,
and
so
you
know,
I
know
that
we're
gonna
be
taking
some
time
moving
forward
without
recommendation.
So
we
can,
you
know,
sort
of
solidifying
some
things
but
I
also
just
wanted
to.
D
You
know
stay
for
the
public
that
you
know
we're
we're
in
a
housing
crisis
right
and
and
I
think
that
that
that
reality
becomes
real
every
day
and
figuring
out
how
we're
gonna,
protect
tenants
is
really
important.
Step
and
I
want
to
thank
staff
for
the
work
that
they've
done
and
I
look
forward
to.
Seeing
this
be
one
of
several
efforts
by
various
council
members
to
lean
into
tenant
protections
and
and
and
really
be
focused
on
preventing
displacement
of
our
most
vulnerable
here
in
the
city,
so
yeah
so
wanted
to
name
that.
F
But
I
think
we
can
figure
out
a
way
to
work
on
that
and
I'd.
Be
supportive
of
that.
I
also
want
to
say
that
I
think
the
off
market
sales
I
would
be
very
surprised
and
I
do
want
to
appreciate
that
there
it's
a
it's
a
good
note
that
we
have
private
for-profit
preservation,
buyers
that
we
have
people
who
operate
that
way
and
I
think
that's
really
valuable
in
our
community,
as
well
as
the
nonprofit
preservation
buyers.
F
But
I
just
I
would
be
very
surprised
to
learn
that
the
preponderance
of
off-market
sales
or
preservation
buyers
I,
just
I-
that
that's
not
certainly
anecdotally.
What
I've
seen
and
my
warrant
is
I've
watched
sales
happening
and
and
seeing
the
way
that
buildings
are
getting
flipped
up,
market
and
people
are
being
displaced
and
so
I
think
in
terms
of
the
way
that
arguments
landing
with
me.
I
just
want
to
sort
of
signal
to
the
community.
F
It
would
take
some
real
convincing
and
some
real
additional
data
to
convince
me
that
that
that's
the
more
likely
scenario,
rather
than
the
opposite,
I,
actually
think
advance
notice.
It's
going
to
have
a
very
positive
effect
in
terms
of
empowering
some
preservation
buyers
to
be
able
to
get
these
deals
done.
A
A
The
Polar
Council
meeting
that
council
member
Elizabeth
Glidden
was
very
actively
involved
in
this
work
prior
to
the
time
that
she
retired
from
the
City
Council
and
councilmember
straighter,
picked
up
this
body
of
work
from
her
in
partnering
to
move
this
forward
with
my
office
and
our
staff
team.
So
I
do
want
to
acknowledge
the
work
of
councilmember
Glidden
I.
Don't
think
you
can
call
it
advance,
sale
of
notice
and
not
have
advance
notice.
I'm.
A
Sorry,
it
just
kind
of
seems
somewhat
silly
to
me
to
suggest
that
we're
providing
advance
notice
and
then
not
have
any
and
I
I
guess
I
would
where
I
land
on
this
is
that
I
just
have
to
think
which
is
worse,
they're
trying
to
sell
the
building
you
live
in,
and
you
see
a
notice
telling
you
that
or
you
they're
trying
to
sell
the
building
you
live
in
and
you
have
no
idea
of
that.
Then
you
find
out
that's
happened
and
then
you
get
three
months
in
which
everything
stays
relatively
stable.
A
A
Everybody
is
not
completely
happy,
but
in
the
end
it
is
the
intent
of
the
people
working
on
this,
those
sitting
in
the
room
and
councilmember
straighter
that
we
try
this.
We
review
it
within
a
year.
We
see
what
the
results
and
unintended
consequences
might
or
might
not
be
and
we
adjust.
We
do
know
that,
with
the
4d
pilot,
there's
been
tremendous
success
and
interest
and
moving
into
4d.
So
we
know
that
there
are
a
lot
of
non
non-profit
buyers
out
there
that
are
willing
to
preserve
affordable
housing.
A
We
just
want
to
give
them
a
list
of
properties.
They
can
potentially
look
at
and
so
I
think.
The
folks
working
on
this
have
been
very,
very
deliberate
about
how
we
bring
this
forward,
not
to
rush
it
through
the
previous
council
or
jam
it
down
the
new
councils
throat,
but
take
this
in
a
very
slow
and
thoughtful
way,
as
well
as
reviewing
what's
happened
in
a
very
thoughtful
way
as
well.
So
we
will
take
the
comments.
A
We
will
release
final
language
prior
to
committee
of
the
whole,
which
would
be
a
week
from
tomorrow.
Just
sue
know
when
that
would
come
out
with
the
intent
to
take
action
a
week
from
Friday
on
the
motion
to
move
forward
without
recommendation
all
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye
any
opposed.
That
item
is
approved.
We'll
then
move
on
to
our
remaining
item,
which
is
our
conduct
on
premise.
Ordinance.
A
I
do
want
to
first
of
all
thank
council
member,
Cunningham
and
staff
for
doing
a
very
thorough
briefing
in
front
of
the
committee
two
weeks
ago,
which
I
know
has
been
televised,
as
well
as
a
number
of
individual
briefings
for
folks,
which
is
why
we
probably
don't
have
a
staff
report
today
would
be
my
guess.
Is
there
anyone
here
to.
N
A
So
today
we're
going
to
take
public
comment
on
the
conduct
and
premise:
ordens
ordinance,
and
then
the
chief
author
council,
member
cunningham,
will
give
us
a
sense
of
what
his
intention
is
in
terms
of
how
you'd
like
to
move
forward.
So
we'll
open
the
public
hearing
on
item
number
five,
which
is
amending
provisions
relating
to
conduct
on
premise.
Is
there
anyone
here
to
speak
to
this
issue?
Please
stay
anyone
who
wants
to
speak
and
speaks
it
maybe
get
a
show
of
hands.
A
First,
how
many
people
would
like
to
speak,
given
that
there
aren't
a
lot
of
people,
you
know
three
to
five
minutes
would
be
respectful.
Normally
we
have
two
minutes,
but
since
there
are
not
huge
crowds,
I
think
we
can
accommodate
that.
So
please
step
forward
and
state
your
name
and
address
for
the
record,
sir.
A
N
Name
is
Debra,
Palmquist
I
do
live
in
Minneapolis,
but
I'm,
actually
here
as
a
representative
of
Twin
Cities
Housing
Development
Corporation,
which
is
a
non-profit
provider
of
affordable
rental
housing
in
the
metro
area
and
I.
Just
want
to
thank
council
members,
Cunningham,
Gordon
and
Ellison
for
putting
the
effort
into
changing
this
ordinance
because
we
have
property
in
North
Minneapolis,
which
has
run
afoul
of
this
ordinance.
In
the
past,
where
we
have
felt
like,
we
have
had
to
take
actions
that
we
as
landlords
did
not
want
to
take
based
on
incidences.
N
That
happened
at
those
properties
as
it
moves
forward,
though,
while
I
am
encouraged
by
all
of
the
revisions
to
the
ordinance.
I
do
have
a
few
comments,
and
one
would
be
that
I
would
hope
that,
in
the
application
of
the
ordinance
that
the
panel
that
has
discussed
as
this
kind
of
new
format
would
take
into
consideration
when
a
landlord
is
actually
proactively
working
with
law
enforcement,
to
inform
them
to
inform
them
of
the
whereabouts
of
a
wanted,
felon
or
requesting
assistance
in
dealing
with
negative
activity
at
a
property.
N
The
other
comment
would
be
to
clarify
how
these
note
of
how
these
notices
that
may
be
sent
out
would
relate
to
the
tiered
designation
in
the
rental
licensing
ordinance,
because
in
the
rental
licensing
ordinance,
they
are
given
points
or
your
your
you
as
a
landlord,
are
given
points
against
a
building,
and
it's
unclear
as
to
whether
if
the
notice
is
resolved,
does
that
still
mean
you
have
points
that
stay
on
that
designation?
Is
that
clear?
Does
it
make
sense?
What
skee?
Okay?
N
O
O
So
we
are
here
to
sort
of
step
into
that
space
and
make
that
offer
available
that
this
is
a
resource
that's
available
to
the
city.
It
allows
the
landlord
and
tenant
to
resolve
an
issue
in
a
peaceful
and
productive
and
private
way,
and
we
would
just
like
to
be
on
the
record
saying
that
we
would
like
to
participate
in
that
so
I.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
Thank.
L
Thank
you
good
afternoon
again,
I
checked
Goodman
members
of
the
committee
for
the
record,
Cecil
Smith,
13:31,
Washington
Street
northeast
I'm,
here
to
speak
in
broad
support
of
the
proposed
changes,
but
to
speak
in
opposition
to
one
section
of
the
revised
conduct
of
premises
ordinance.
It
offers
minimal
recognition
to
the
very
different
circumstances
of
a
single-family
home
or
duplex
in
a
hundred
and
fifty
unit
apartment
building
the
current
language
resets
the
monitoring
period
for
the
conduct
on
premises
after
six
months
for
buildings
with
more
than
a
hundred
units.
L
The
new
language
says
the
monitoring
period
ends
after
one
year,
but
also
that
three
incidents
in
three
years
could
lead
to
revocation
larger
unit
properties
are
unfairly
penalized
in
this
new
ordinance,
where
there
is
often
professional
management
in
place
to
address
incidents
that
are
to
be
clear,
resident,
initiated
and
not,
and
beyond.
Management's
control
through
the
the
implications
are
more
significant
and
larger
properties.
Any
period
of
regulatory
supervision
or
potential
adverse
action
can
affect
financing
terms,
management
contracts,
insurance
and
even
valuations,
as
they
are
institutionalized
and
securitized
assets.
L
I
would
urge
you
to
codify
the
timelines
as
the
current
language
does.
For
size
of
property,
since
there
is
a
real
business
uncertainty
created
by
this
discretion
falling
to
the
interdisciplinary
review
panel
for
three
years
now,
I
feel
your
goal
of
reducing
resident
displacement
will
be
sorted
at
the
larger
properties
by
this
uncertainty.
L
Since
the
only
absolute
certainty
a
manager
can
have
of
no
further
occurrence
of
a
negative
conduct
by
a
particular
resident
in
the
three-year
period
is
to
remove
the
resident,
and
so
there
is
an
amendment
that
has
been
proposed
before
you
by
the
multi
Housing
Association,
which
I
would
urge
your
consideration.
I
also
want
to
say
for
the
record,
to
my
city
leaders,
who
usually
press
for
the
engagement
with
stakeholders,
that
the
lack
of
engagement
on
this
matter
with
private
sector
owners
and
managers
with
the
industry
representatives
is
very
disappointing.
L
L
A
M
Afternoon
again,
Marty
McDonough
Malte
Housing
Association.
My
comments
are
going
to
be
modeled
after
some
communication,
I
had
sent
via
email
to
councilmember
Cunningham
late
last
week
about
the
ordinance
and
some
concerns
our
association
has
mr.
Smith
just
mentioned
about
the
industry
being
concerned
about
how
buildings
of
different
sizes
are
treated
under
this
language.
M
M
By
virtue
of
reporting
this
to
the
city,
it
will
immediately
make
this
public
data
and
we
believe
this
data
should
not
be
identifiable
on
individuals
rather
should
be
reported
in
aggregate,
so
that
individuals
that
agreed
to
that
would
not
be
identifying
and
to
parrot
some
earlier
concerns.
There's
no
mention
about
how
this
process
will
affect
the
property
with
the
rental
licensing
tearing
system,
if
an
owner's
convinced
through
this
process,
to
allow
resin
to
remain
as
a
resident
after
a
qualifying
incident.
M
What
assurance
is
the
city
offering
to
this
owner
that
the
future
incident
would
not
put
his
license
or
tear
standing
in
jeopardy,
so
we're
proposed
a
staff
direction
with
C
ped
regulatory
services,
the
city
attorney
and
perhaps
the
city
coordinator,
to
work
with
stakeholders
to
try
to
figure
out
how
to
make
appropriate
scoring
decisions
in
the
tiered
licensing
framework
and
to
add
incentives
to
owners
to
participate
in
this
program
rather
than
losing
points,
as
would
be
current
situation.
Thank
you.
A
N
Excuse
me
D
for
C
paragraph
C.
It
says
upon
review
of
the
case
file.
The
panel
may
designate
any
other
qualifying
property
for
an
intervention
plan.
It
seems
that
they
that
may
not
be
correct
wording
if
it
were
to
run
parallel
with
every
other
paragraph.
It
would
say
upon
a
review
of
the
case
file.
The
panel
may
designate
any
qualifying
property
for
an
intervention
plan.
I,
don't
know
where
other
came
from.
Thank
you.
Thanks.
P
Thank
you,
madam
chair
and
council
member
Cunningham
and
members
of
committee
with
regard
to
the
the
typo
question.
I,
actually
think
that
that
language
was
intentional.
There
are
the
way
it's
designed
is
three
potential
tracks,
and
only
if
it
doesn't
take
one
of
the
first
two
tracks.
Would
it
take
that
last
that
last
track,
so
I
think
the
language
is
appropriate,
at
least
in
reflecting.
K
If
I
may
absolutely
so,
thank
you,
everybody
for
your
public
comment
today.
I
really
appreciated
I
wanted
to
be
able
to
speak
to
a
few
of
the
issues,
so
the
first
is
around
the
tiering
system.
So
this
was
something
that
we
definitely
took
into
consideration
and
we
are
still
thinking
about.
So
we
are
working
with
regular
where
I
say
we
I
mean
the
policymakers,
and
also
just
the
team
of
folks
that
have
been
working
on.
It
are
still
working
on
what
that
could
look
like.
K
We
want
to
actually
incentivize
landlords
to
work
with
MPD,
and
so
the
idea
is
to
actually
offer
points
for
potentially
offer
points
or
hurt
for
working
with
MPD
and
saving
those
penalties
for
folks
who
avoid
working
with
MPD.
So
being
more
intentional
about
that,
that's
heard
loud
and
clear.
That's
something
that
we
heard
a
lot
of
feedback
on
that
folks
are
like
we
want
to
help,
but
then
we
get
dinged
for
it,
and
so
we
want
to
remove
that
and
actually
incentivize
folks
to
want
to
work
with
the
officers.
K
So
I
just
want
to
first
address
that,
and
also
the
points
around
the
single
family
homes
versus
large
multifamily
apartment
buildings
as
well.
Taken
and
I
just
did
a
quick
round
here
with
the
other
co-authors
and
with
the
city
attorney
and
I.
Actually,
I
have
no
issue
with
the
amendment
that
put
put
forward
here
and
so
I
Madame
chair
should
I
go
ahead
and
make
a
motion
to
amend
it
for
the
language
that
we
have
in
front
of
us.
That.
A
K
No
point
very
well
taken,
so
thank
you
very
much,
and
this
was
a
good
learning
experience
as
well,
knowing
seeing
where
that
gaps
are
in
terms
of
network
in
terms
of
stakeholders
and
power
building,
and
so
this
was
a
good
lesson
as
well.
So
I
appreciate
you
all
for
your
patience
for
coming
in
today
and
providing
this
really
solid
amendment
for
us
to
be
able
to
build
that
in
next
time.
We'll
be
sure
to
get
that
before
we're
here
today.
K
A
K
And
I
wanted
to
also
just
address
some
concerns
from
tap
and
tenant
advocates
around
sorry.
I
was
trying
to
pull
it
back
up
here
again,
but
there
is
actually
equal
notification
between
landlords
and
tenants.
There
was
a
concern
that
tenants
were
still
not
being
notified
and
so
just
wanted
to
clarify
that
component
of
it
as
well
and
upon
that.
I
would
like
to
make
a
motion
to
approve
this
item
and.
H
Well,
I
am
certainly
supporting
it.
I
also
just
wanted
to
acknowledge
all
the
work
that
comes
murmur,
Cunningham
put
into
this
in
his
office
and
also
some
rather
extensive
engagement.
I
understand,
maybe
one
it
wasn't
quite
tailored
or
maybe
done
in
the
same
way
as
we're
used
to,
and
so
there's
probably
some
things
we
can
benefit
from
I
didn't
call
out
anything
that
was
missing
when
we
were
going
through
that
and
going
to
open
houses
and
making
sure
the
community
was
involved
and
engaged,
and
now
I'm,
not
II
I'm.
H
So
part
of
that
is
probably
my
fault.
It
didn't
go
through
our
rental
housing
property
Advisory
Group,
which
it
sounds
like
maybe
team,
quite
get-get
there
to
some
of
the
folks
who
thought
they
should
see
it
in
advance,
so
I'll
work
harder
on
that
in
the
future,
but
I
really
do
think.
There
was
a
great
deal
of
engagement
that
went
into
this
there.
H
It
was
especially
a
lot
of
work
from
a
staff
team
that
looked
at
this
from
a
variety
of
angles
and
I
think
we
were
lucky
to
have
all
those
people
involved
and
engaged
in
this,
and
also
having
folks
from
the
innovation
team.
Looking
at
it
and,
of
course
remember.
This
was
inspired
and
in
large
part,
by
the
problems
we
were
having
with
addictions
and
realizing
that
we
were
unwittingly,
perhaps
being
involved
in
many
more
addictions
than
was
even
necessary,
which
we're
having
long-lasting
consequences
for
many
of
the
tenants
who
went
through
that
process.
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I,
also
wanted
to
give
major
shout
out
to
cast
member
Cunningham,
who
really
demonstrated
just
like
you
know,
superior
leadership
on
on
this
on
this
front.
I
think
in
the
original
draft
it
was
so
marked
up
by.
You
know
kind
of
dawned
on
me
that
you
know
we
were
completely
rewritten.
D
A
Comments
or
questions
seeing
that
I
also
want
to
join
in
the
congratulations
for
councilmember
Cunningham
I.
Think
the
staff
team
working
on
this
did
an
extremely
good
job
and
won
over
a
number
of
the
people
that
I
did
not
think
it
was
possible
to
win
over
and
I.
Just
am
really
for
someone
who's
been
here
for
such
a
short
period
of
time,
I'm
just
really
incredibly
impressed
with
the
amount
of
work
that
you
were
able
to
do
with
staff
in
order
to
get
this
done.
A
I
hold
you
in
very
high
regard
for
moving
this
forward
and
I
think
the
city
will
be
better
off
because
of
the
work
that
you've
done.
The
motion
to
approve
and
move
this
forward
to
the
council,
all
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye
any
opposed.
That
item
is
approved,
seeing
no
further
business
before
us.
We
stand
adjourned.
