So
I'd
like
to
note
that
we
have
a
quorum
today,
council
member

is
absent
due
to
family
matters,
and
we
are
thinking
of
him
and
his
family
right
now.
I
imagine
many
of
our
other
colleagues
may
be
joining
us
in
a
bit.
So
with
that
we'll
proceed
to
our
meeting
agenda,
we
have
one
amendment
for
our
agenda
at
the
desk
this
morning,
a
motion
by
councilmember
Cano
to
add,
under
the
order
of
notice
of
ordinance
introductions,
a
notice
of
intent
related
to
a
moratorium
on
the
establishment
of
new
tobacco
product
shots.
A
A
A
C
A
Approval,
please
say:
aye

carries
and

referrals
are

I
Thank
you.
President
piñera
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
I
understand
so
item
2
number
2.
It
looks
like
we're
granting
an
appeal
to
deny
the
variance
around
been
tight,
but
it
looks
like
the
findings
of
fact
are
pretty
supportive
of
the
higher
offense.
So
are
we
is?
That
quote?
Is
this
moving
correctly
given,
given
the
information
we
receive
from
staff?
Oh.
A
A
Hopefully
we'll
continue
along
the
the
you
know:
funding
needed
for
construction,
it's
very
challenging
to
destruct
affordable
housing.
In
my
ward,
where
Leon
costs
are
very
high
and
so
I'm
excited
for
this
project.
I
really
wanted
to
thank
your
chair,
Schrader
for
your
work
on
this
project,
and
so
many
of
the
others
I
know
firsthand
the
challenges
of
serving
on
the
Planning
Commission
and
as
the
chair
of
this
committee,
this
was
a
case
where
you
know
the
size
and
scale
of
the
building.
A
You
know
there
are
a
lot
of
questions
about
that.
The
Planning
Commission
took
a
really
careful
look
at
it,
and
then
we
work
together
with
our
staff
and
housing,
to
make
sure
that
we
were
approving
a
project
that
could
be
constructed
and
provide
these
really
needed,
affordable
housing
units
in
a
part
of
town
that
is
rapidly
increasing
in
rent,
and
so
it
was
one
of
these
cases
where
it
was
like
a
lot
of
pros
and
cons
and
the
details
really
mattered
and
I.
A
B
A
K
You,
madam
chair
colleagues,
I'm
bringing
four
items
for
your
consideration,
two
of
which
to
be
referred
to
the
appropriate
committees
and
two
of
which
are
for
approval
today.
The
first
item
is
paid
parental
leave
policy
and
referring
that
to
the
enterprise
committee,
changes
to
the
paper
until
leave
policy
to
allow
for
paid
parental
leave
to
be
taken
within
six
months
from
the
birth
or
adoption
of
a
child
and
to
remove
eligibility
of
registered
domestic
partners.
K
As
spouses
item
number
two
is
appointed
position
to
the
city
coordinators
office,
director
of
strategic
initiatives,
one
approving
the
appointed
position
of
director
of
strategic
initiatives
to
the
passage
of
ordinance,
approving
the
salary
schedule
for
that
position.
Item
number
three
appointed
position
to
the
city
coordinators
office,
director
of
strategic
management,
approving
the
appointed
position
of
director
of
strategic
management
and
to
passage
of
the
ordinance
approving
the
salary
schedule
for
the
position.
A
F
Think
I
don't
want
to
make
some
great
progress,
that's
a
paid
parental
leave
because
it
extends
the
time
from
currently
12
weeks.
It
doubles
that
so
it's
actually
within
six
months,
people
can
take
their
paid
parental
leave.
I
think
that's
great.
One
of
the
questions
that
I
wonder
about
is
why
we
are
still
sticking
with
only
three
weeks
of
paid
parental
leave
and
I
would
be
curious.
This
is
maybe
something
the
committee
could
look
at
him.
F
Not
don't
have
a
snap
direction
now,
but
I'm
wondering
well
how
much,
as
the
three
weeks
actually
cost
us
was
that
what
we
were
expecting
since
we've
implemented
this
policy.
What
would
happen
if
we
expanded
that
or
extended
that
a
little
bit
I
know
that
it's
not
it
many
institutions
and
probably
and
government
entities
don't
provide
that
much,
but
I
suspect
others
provide
more
and
maybe
that's
something
that
we
could
look
into.
I
think
it
would
be
to
our
advantage
to
do
so.
So
I
just
want
to
make
that
statement.
K
K
A
C
A
A
A
And
finally,
we
have
a
fifth
new
item
that
was
added
at
the
beginning
of
the
meeting,
which
is
a
notice
from
councilmember
Cano
to
introduce
at
the
next
regular
meeting
the
subject
matter
of
an
ordinance
amending
title,
21
of
the
Code
of
Ordinances
related
to
interim
ordinances,
adding
a
new
chapter
595,
providing
for
a
moratorium
on
the
establishment
of
new
tobacco
product
shops
and
the
issuance
of
new
tobacco
licenses.
Are
there
any
questions
on
any
of
those
notices
seeing
none?
Those
notices
are
given
and
no
further
action
is
required
at
this
time.
A
The
next
order
of
business
is
the
introductions
and
referral
calendar.
We
have
four
items
on
the
calendar
today.
First,
we
have
a
motion
by
councilmember
Johnson
to
introduce
gift
first
reading
and
refer
to
the
economic

A
The

This
third
matter
is
a
motion.
A
The
third
matter
is
a
motion
by
councilmember
Warsaw
me
to
introduce,
give
first

and
referral
to
the
zoning

the
subject
matter
of
an
ordinance
related
to
regulations
for
existing
off-premise
advertising
signs
and
billboards
near
regional
sports
facilities.
And
finally,
we
have
a
motion
by
councilmember
Schrader
to
introduce
your
first
reading
and
referral
to
the
economic
development
regulatory
services
committee,
the
subject
matter
of

housing
code,
to

violence
and
other
emergencies.
A
Are
there
any
questions
on
those
three
introductions,
seeing
none
all
in
approval,
please
say
aye,
any
opposed
that
carries
in
those
introductions
have
been
made
and
referred
to
the
committee's

the
next
regular
cycle.
Next,
we
have
unfinished
business.
We
have
three
items
that
were
postponed
from
the
regular
meeting
on
August
3rd.
For
today,
these
three
items
are
all
related
to
and
pertain
to
property
located
along
University
Avenue
southeast,
so
I'll
recognize
council
member
Gordon
to
proceed
with
these
items.
A
F
You
very
much
president
bender
there's
a
motion
that
folks
should
have
in
front
of
you,
which
essentially
supports
the
committee
recommendations,
approves
the
rezoning
and
denies
both
of
the
appeals,
but
adds
some
additional
conditions,
there's
five
conditions,
but
are
added,
and
they
having
the
extra
two
weeks
gave
us
some
time
to
clarify
and
figure
these
out.
I'll
read
through
them,
so
they're
in
the
record
and
people
can
hear
and
see
them.
The
first
is
per
their
voluntary
agreement.
The
applicant
will
provide
off
street
parking
spaces
to
the
neighboring
residents
who
live
on
prospect.
F
Number
two.
The
applicant
shall
work
with
Public
Works
a
for
neighbors
to
explore,
making
all
parking
on
Prospect
areas
permit
parking.
Only
24
hours
of
the
day
and
seven
days
of
the
week
number
three.
The
applicant
shall
provide
seabed
with
a
detailed
design
of
properly
engineered
retaining
walls
in
compliance
with
the
Minnesota
Building
Code
constructed
to
provide
adequate
drainage
and
soil
retention
at
the
rear
of
the
site
adjacent
to
the
neighboring
residential
properties.
The
fourth
condition
we're
adding
it
hopefully
is
parking
garage.
F
A
B
A
I
Thank
You
president
bender.
I
just
wanted
to
announce
we're
trying
a
little
bit
of
an
experiment
this
weekend
downtown,
and
I
want
to
invite
everybody
to
come
down
and
have
a
good
time
were
authorizing
late-night
food
trucks
on
Second,
Avenue
North.
So
as
you're
coming
back
from
wherever
you
decide
to
come
down
and
have
some
fun
on
your
way
back
to
the
parking
ramp,
you'll
be
able
to
enjoy
some
good
food
options
and
it
should
be
a
lot
of
fun.
I'll
be
out
there
and
I
hope
