Development
Agency
public
hearing
items
which
will
be
conducted
jointly
with
the
EDRs
committee,
whose
members
are
identical,
miss
Newman.
Could
you
provide
a
brief
overview
of
the
MC
da
operating
committee?
Mr.
C
This
is
just
a
just
a
brief
overview
of
what
the
MC
da
Board
of
Commissioners
at
MCD
a
operating
committee.
Just
by
way
of
background,
the
MC
da
the
everyb
Development
Agency
has
been
a
separate
legal
entity
since
1980
in
1986
between
1980
and
1986,
the
vs.
separately
separately,
appointed
Board
of
Commissioners
in
1986,
the
Board
of
Commissioners
became
the
the
City
Council
and
subsequently
the
operating
committee
became
at
that
time.
The
Community
Development
Committee
of
the
City
Council
and
MC
da
as
in
his
role,
was
charged
with
economic
and
housing
development
throughout
the
city.
C
Mc
da
existed
with
separate
staff
until
2002
when
it
was
incorporated
into
the
city
of
Minneapolis.
The
the
successor
agency
to
Department,
who
MC
da
is
c-pen
all
employees
of
MC
da
at
that
point
became
city
employees
and
the
development
functions
were
transferred
to
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
but
MC
D
is
a
legal
entity,
still
exists
and
for
good
reason.
There
are
hundreds
of
thousands
of
documents,
as
you
might
imagine,
that
heavy
MC
da
is
named
on
them
and
no
one
wanted
to
take
the
time
or
spend
the
money
to
get
those
all
edited.
C
And
so
there
are
also
certain
functions
that
MC
da,
which
is
the
City
Council,
must
approve.
One
of
those
is
Bank
qualified
bonds,
and
there
are
two
big
qualified
bond
issues
on
the
agenda
today,
which
mr.
Chris
book
will
we'll
go
through,
and
he
can
also
talk
about
the
about
Bank
allocated
bond
program.
They
qualified
bond
program
and
answer
any
questions
that
you
have.
A
And
I'm
sorry
for
the
earlier
confusion,
I
will
open
the
joint
meeting
of
the
economic
development,
regulatory
Services
Committee
and
the
CD,
the
MC
da
operating
committee,
and
ask
Taft
to
present
item
number
one.
The
bond
issuance
for
Eastside
neighborhood
services
for
its
facilities
at
1700,
2nd
Street
northeast
mr.
D
Eastside
neighborhood
services
you
mentioned
is
at
1700
second
Street
north,
and
it
has
a
large
number
of
social
service
activities,
adult
employment,
training
services,
Family
Services,
adult
daycare
daycare.
This
particular
financing
is
intended
to
renovate
the
daycare
facility
at
the
1700,
2nd
Street
northeast
there.
D
A
Do
my
colleagues
have
any
questions
before
I
open
the
joint
public
air
all
right,
seeing
none
I
will
open
the
joint
public
hearing.
If
there
is
anyone
to
speak,
please
come
up
in
state.
Your
name
and
address
I
do
have
two
names
on
the
sheet
here,
not
sure
if
the
folks
actually
wanna
speak
but
I
have
a
Robert
Foster
and
a
Jeff
funding

Ttan.
D
F
D
B
G
You,
mr.
chair,
this
is
a
really
important
community
asset
in
our
community.
Eastside
neighborhood
services
is
in
the
Third
Ward
and
a
lot
of
Ward
3
constituents
make
use
of
these
facilities,
so
I
wonder
if,
if
one
of
the
representatives
will
be
willing
to
just
describe
what
capacity
we're
adding
or
what
improvements
we're
making
to
the
daycare
facility,
so
we
can
understand
what
what's
being
made
available
to
our
constituents.
A
Do
you
any
of
my
other
colleagues?
Have
any
other
questions
all
right?
Do
any
other
members
of
the
public
wish
to
speak
on
this
issue
all
right,
seeing
none
I'm
going
to
close
the
public
hearing.
I
would
like
to
move
approval
and
refer
the
matter
to
the
mmcd,
a
Board
of
Commissioners,
all
those
in
favor
say
aye,
all
those
opposed
say.
A
D
Chairman
members
of
the
committee,
you
have
a
for
you,
the
request
for
up
to
1.8

As
you

it's
for
the
acquisition
of
two
buildings
apartment
buildings
near
their
main
location,
which
is
at
1900
Chicago
Avenue.
These
two
residential
facilities
have
10
units
and
they
have
been
under
lease
by
Abbeville
since
2011.
D
A
All
right,
seeing
none
I
will
close
the
public
hearing.
Hearing

I
would
like
to
move

fir

matter
to
the
MC

Board

Commissioners,
all
those
in
favor
say
aye,
all
those
opposed
say
no,
the
eyes
have
it,
and
that
motion
carries
with
that.
We
will
adjourn
the
joint
EDRs
and
M
CDA
operating
committee
and
move
on
to
the
remaining
public
hearings
for
just
EDRs

through

I
I
It's
a
newly
built.
It
has
a
hundred
and
sixty
eight
units
of
the
hotel,
which
include
about
a
three
thousand
space
restaurant
and
bar
the
interior.
Seating
will
be
for
a
hundred
and
twenty
and
there's
no
exterior
seating
of
this
establishment.
The
restaurant
bar
is
going
to
be
a
full-service
food
establishment
with
full
alcohol
service.
Because
of
this
new
application,
there
is
a
public
hearing
requirement.
Public
hearing
notices
were
sent
out
to
residents
and
property
owners
within
450
feet
of
the
premises.
A
F
Name
is
Dana
Orlando
I'm,
the
general
manager
of
Elliott
Park
Hotel,
located
on
the
residents
of
8
to
3
5th
Avenue
South.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
address
the
committee
and
I
speak
on
behalf
of
the
hotel.
Obviously,
we're
excited
you
already
eloquently
stated
the
logistics
of
our
facility.
I
just
want
to
share
that
being
a
part
of
the
revitalization
of
Elliott.
F
Park
is
actually
very
exciting
and
the
team
and
I
are
not
only
excited
to
open
the
hotel,
but
to
be
a
part
of
that
krause
Andersen,
revitalization
block
with
the
brewery,
the
residences,
the
hotel
and
and
part
of
what
we
do
and
why
we
exist
is
to
give
back
to
the
community.
So
our
culture
and
all
that
we
do.
We
have
partnered
with
a
lot
of
vendors
within
the
community
to
give
back,
and
so
in
addition
to
the
hotel,
the
restaurant,
their
liquor
license.
A
G
A
Remember
Fletcher
has
moved
approval
on
this
item.
All
those
in
favor
say
aye,
all
those
opposed
say.
No,
the
eyes
have
it
and
that
motion
carries
moving
on
to
item
number
4.
We
have
the
mixed
blood
theatre
company
located
at
1501,
4th
Street
South
for
in
on
sale,
one
with
strong
beer
license,
miss
Roberts
go
ahead.
Thank.
I
You
mr.
chair,
yes,
kitchen
is
formics
blood
theater
and
is
a
theater
license
and
they're
pursuing
an
on
sale.
Wine
license
with
strong
beer
to
function
in
coordination
with
their
theater
license
if
that
theater
has
located
at
that
location
for
38
years.
So
this
is
a
new
enhancement
to
an
established
theater
in
our
community
in
Minneapolis
mix.
I
I
Public
hearing
is
required
for
this
new
license
and
public
areas
were
sent
out
to
residents
and
property
owners
within
600
feet
of
the
premises.
We've
received
one
response
and
that
was
in
favor
and
again
lead
licensed
inspector
Kristina
keister
has
reviewed
the
application
with
police
licensing
and
it
needs
minimum
standards
and
we're
making
recommendation
to
approve
it.
This
time.
I
A
A
Councillor
Gordon
has
moved
approval
of
this
item.
All
those
in
favor
say
aye
aye,
all
those
opposed
say
no,
the
eyes
have
it
and
that
motion
carries
and
with
that
we
have
item
number
five,
which
is
Fairview,
Health,
Services
bond
issuance
and
I.
Will
let
staff
give
the
presentation
mr.
Curtis
Thank.
D
You
mr.
chair
members
of
the
committee,
you
have
before
you
a
request
for
preliminary
and
final
approval
of
revenue,
bonds
for
a
501,
C,
3,
nonprofit
organization,
Fairview
Health
System.
In
the
report.
You
will
see
that
this
involves
quite
a
bit
of
refinancing
of
2004
2005
2008
debt.
In
addition,
you'll
see
a
listing
of
the
various
cities
in
which
previous
dollars
have
been
spent.
D
This
request
is
for
additions
of
up
to
five
hundred
and
fifty
million
dollars,
the
majority
of
which
would
be
for
the
refinancing
refunding
it's
the
same
as
if
you're
refinancing
a
mortgage
on
your
house,
they
pay
off
the
old
bonds
of
the
new
bonds.
There
is
some
new
money
in
this,
and
the
new
money
will
be
spent
on
Minneapolis
facilities
and
at
the
Edina
facility.
D
D
Chairman
councilmember
Gordon,
this
indicated
that
the
new
money
in
Minneapolis
in
Aegina
will
be
Fenton
spent
for
renovations
improvements
and
equipment
at
the
University
of
Minnesota,
Medical
Center
and
the
Fairview
Southdale
Hospital.
Those
expenditures
are
upgrading
emergency
departments,
operating
rooms,
radiation
and
laboratory
facilities.
A
Do
me
and
mother,
my
other
colleagues,
have
any
questions
all
right
with
that.
I
will
open
the
public
hearing
due.
Are
there
any
members
of
the
public
that
would
wish
to
speak
on
this
issue,
all
right,
seeing
none?
Oh
sorry,
customer
word
I
was
just
ready
to
mow
okay.
So
all
right,
I
will
close
the.
E
A
J
J
In
this
case
it
involves
two
essentially
two
food
truck
license
fees
and
a
separate
brick
and
mortar
or
Skyway
restaurant
license
location
all
held
by
OCI's
LLC
licensing
staff
have
been
notified
pursuant
to
Minnesota
State
statute
by
the
Minnesota
Department
of
Revenue,
that
there
is
an
outstanding
tax
obligation
owed
to
the
state
and
by
operation
of
the
applicable
state
statutes.
We
are
required
to
revoke
their
the
licenses,
which
that
affects
within
I
believe
it's
30
days.
J
So,
essentially,
the
only
issue
before
this
committee
and
the
council
is
whether
the
licensee
has
obtained,
what's
known
as
a
tax
clearance
certificate
from
the
state
and
if
they
have
and
if
they
do
prior
to
next
Friday's
full
council
meeting
the
can
be
stricken.
However,
in
the
absence
of
a
tax
clearance
certificate,
we
you
are
required
to
revoke
their
license
and
at
this
time,
I
think
it
would
be
appropriate
to
open
the
hearing
to
see
if
the
licensee
or
a
representative
of
the
licensee
is
here
to
address.
You
Thank.
A
A
Don't
see
anyone
here
so
I'm
going
to
assume
that
there
is
no
one
here
to
speak
on
this
issue
with
that
I
will
close
the
public
hearing
and
I
would
like
to
move
approval
of
the
staff
recommendation
to
revoke
the
license
due
to
outstanding
taxes
owed
to
the
Minnesota
Department
of
Revenue,
as
made
it
as
mandated
by
Minnesota
statute,
all
those
in
favor
say
aye,
all
those
opposed
say
no,
and
that
motion
carries
seeing
no
further
business
between
it
before
us.
We
are
adjourned.
Thank
you.
