C
The
first
item
is
a
public
hearing
on

which
is
about
two
years
coming,
and
the
other
item
is
the
conduct
on
premise:
changes
that
have
been
in
there.
They've
been
working
on
for
about
a
year
now,
so
those
will
both
have
public
hearings,
they're,
very
major
issues
surrounding
rental
licensing
and
so
I'd
invite
anyone
who's
not
on
the
committee
to
come
and
they'll
both
be
public
hearings.
I
have
no
idea
how
many
people
will
be
here,
but
these
are
major
items
moving
forward
in
this
next
cycle.

A
E
Thank
You
vice
president
Jenkins,
the
Housing
Policy
and
Development
Committee,
is
bringing
forward
six
items
for
consideration.
The
first
is
a
land
sale
at

upton
avenue
north.
A
second
is
acknowledgement
of
receptivity
to
a
livable
communities,
act
funding
award
and
these
a
variety
of
awards
in
response
to

The

is

E
The
fourth
is
authorizing
submission
of
some
grant
applications
for
the
2018
Metropolitan
Council
livable
communities,
demonstration
account
that's
L,
CTA
grants
and
the
fifth
is
directing
regulatory
services
and
C
ped
staff
to

of

and
budget
to
provide
some
case
management
related
tools.
The
Steve
Friends
rental
dwelling
license
replications
for
the
remainder
of
this
year
and
the
sixth
item
is
a
direction
to
staff
to
modify
our
HUD
2015-2019
five-year
consolidated
plan.
We
usually
call
it
the
consolidated
plan
and
the
associated
action
plan
to
give
some
flexibility
regarding
our
emergency
solutions.
E
A
F
F
Number
three:
is
the
community
solar
garden
agreements
it
just
want
to
share.
Actually
this
is
really
exciting
update
is
that
we
have
been
creating
so
much
renewable
energy
that
we
actually
have
to
increase
the
amount
of
allowable
annual
kilowatts.
So
that's
really
exciting
that
we
are
above
and
beyond,
exceeding
our
expectations,
so
we're
gonna
be
increasing
that
to
thirty
million
kilowatts
annually
and
also
authorizing
a
contract
with
an
operator
of
the
solar,
Gardens
colleagues,
I
just
wanna.
Let
you
know
that
we
also
had
three
presentations.
F
One
was
the
public
health
advisory
committee
with
their
report
and
we
had
an
update
on
the
stupid
staple
food
ordinance.
We
had
updates
on
that
presented
with
research
from
the
University
of
Minnesota,
so
folks
are
interested
in
in
the
updates.
Please
check
that
out
and
then
also
we
had
a
very
informative
presentation
from
the
youth
Coordinating
Board.
So
before
we
make
decisions
about
budgets,
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
folks
have
access
to
that
information.
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.

different

which
is
I.
H
South

is
a
passage
of
resolution,
declaring
that
the
navigation,
Center
project
is
enabled
revitalization
purpose,
for
which
consolidated
redevelopment,
TIF
district
funds
may
be
expanded
and
number
four
is
a
passage
of
resolution,
declaring
official
intent
of
the
city
of
Minneapolis
to
reimburse
certain
expenditure
from
the
proceeds
of
tax-exempt
bonds
to
be
issued
by
the
city
and
I
have
an
I'm
happy
to
stand
for
any
questions.
I.
E
Yeah,
this
is
a
comment,
or
maybe
some
thoughts
around
item
eight,
which
has
to
do
with
the
funding
of
the
navigation.
Center
I
I
have
some
concerns
about
using
the
consolidated
TIF
district
funding
for
this
and
I
think
during
some
of
the
budget
discussions,
we
talked
a
little
bit
about
how
the
mayor
is
proposed
to
use
this
budget
and
some
amount
of
revenue
in
it
for
affordable
housing
and
next
year's
budget
and
I
was
trying
to
flag.
That,
then,
is
this
is
an
important
policy
discussion
that
we'll
want
to
talk
about.
E
This
is
gonna,
look
to
neighborhood
organizations.
It
may
be
to
our
own
neighborhood
community
relations
department
like
there's
some
things
at
risk
for
them.
I
definitely
want
to
be
able
to
move
forward
with
the
navigation
Center.
If
you
look
carefully
at
the
resolution
8.1,
it
does
identify
two
funding
sources.
It
talks
about
extra
funding
that
we
have
in
our
pension
fund
and
it
talks
about
using
1
million
dollars
of
that,
and
then
it
also
talks
about
money
from
this
tax.
Increment
financing
district
I
feel
much
more
comfortable
if
we
funded
the
navigation
Center.
E
E
It
talks
about
the
2
funding
sources,
to
put
it
all
on
the
pension
fund,
and
then
we
would
remove
that
resolution
that
I
think
is
going
to
get
people
to
really
notice.
What's
going
on
where
we
declare
the
navigation,
centers,
neighborhood
revitalization
uses
I,
don't
think
that
resolution
then
would
be
necessary.
E
So
I've
barely
talked
with
at
least
one
of
my
colleagues
about
this
I
guess,
council
member
Johnson
talked
to
me
so
I
wanted
to
make
sure
everybody
had
a
heads
up
right
now
that
it's
at
least
something
I'm
working
on
and
I
think
there
might
be
a
pathway
forward
so
that
we
can
kind
of
put
off
figuring
out
what
we
declare
neighborhood
revitalization
or
not
for
further
deeper
discussions.
As
we
move
forward.
I
H
Thank
You,
councilman,
McConnell
and
I
think
mark
ruff
is
here
to
give
us
a
extra
background
on
this,
but
they
were
number
of.
There
was
the
pension
fund
and
there
was
also
the
money
that
we
captured
from
the
railcar
staff
money
from
that.
So
there
was
two
options
and
we
thought
that
the
TIF
money
would
be
a
cleaner
option
and
considering
that
the
testimony
came
or
consolidated,
money
came
from.
H
You
know
the
fact
that
we
have
so
many
properties
that
were
developed
in
around
downtown
and
a
lot
of
taxes
that
were
paid
in
that
has
been
captured.
I
think
it
does
send
a
message
from
the
city
that
we
do
take
homelessness
seriously
and
that
this
is
one
way
of
alleviating
this
crisis
that
we
have
right
now,
but
I'll
give
it
to
mark
to
give
us
a
background
council.
J
Vice
president
Jenkins
councilmember
Gordon
and
comes
my
mower
saw
me.
The
comes
member
Connor
I
think
you
asked
specifically
the
question
what
other
sources
were
contemplated?
All
of
these
sources
are
within
the
mayor's
recommended
budget
for
the
increase
in
affordable
housing
on
a
one-time
basis
for
2019.
So
why
did
we
choose
these
particular
sources?
Number
one
is
there.
These
particular
sources
are
available
in
2018
all
right,
so
either
cash
or
in
the
case
of
the
consolidated
TIF.
Just
to
emphasize,
we
are
not
reducing
fundings
to
the
neighbor
funding
amounts
to
the
neighborhood.
J
This
is
a
larger
amount
of
tax
increment
and
that's
being
received
than
had
been
anticipated
even
a
few
years
ago
because
of
the
value
increases
and
because,
if
you
look
in
some
of
the
documents
there
was
some
question
as
to
there
was
a
cap
on
that
district
or
not
in
dollar
amount,
and
that
question
has
been
essentially
erased
through
some
discussions
with
the
county.
So
not
knowing
that
we
would
trip
as
staff
into
a
very
large
issue
about
neighborhood
funding.
J
We
thought
that
the
consolidated
TIF
was
the
most
flexible
dollars
that
that
would
enable
us
to
move
court
as
quickly
as
possible.
Certainly
councilmember
Gordon's
suggestion
on
using
other
cash
is
just
as
viable
in
the
end
of
the
day.
Even
aside
from
that,
the
council,
we
have
a
public
hearing
in
front
of
committee
for
tax
increment
in
November,
where
this
issue
of
neighborhood
revitalization
purposes
is
being
considered
there
again,
it's
limited
to
affordable
housing,
but
that's
over
ten
million
dollars
of
consolidated
TIF
that
is
designated
towards
the
mayor's
2019
one-time
funding
for
affordable
housing.
J
So
this
is,
you
know
this
discussion
is
a
preview
of
a
larger
discussion
of
affordable
housing
from
that
source,
and
so
just
the
context,
but
very
basically
it's
all
of
the
money
that
was
considered
for
the
mayor's
2019,
affordable
housing
funding
comes
where
Baccano.
If
that,
if
that
helps
or
if
there's
any,
if
that
confused
the
issue
more,
please
let
me
know.
C
The
process
rot
in
underway
right
now
for
the
45-day
review
with
regard
to
the
larger
changes
were
someone's
asking
to
make
with
regard
to
the
consolidated
TIF
district,
because
1.5
looks
like
nothing
to
neighborhoods
compared
to
the
that
we're
suggesting
we're
taking
from
them
to
put
into
affordable
housing
and
I
have
heard
from
plenty
of
them
and
rightfully
so
that
the
idea
they
don't
want
to
be
pitted
against
affordable
housing.
They
don't
appreciate
being
pitted
against
affordable
housing
and
they're
wondering
why
we're
paying
the
county
back
anything.
C
So
there
are
a
lot
of
route
on
a
45
day
review
on
this
larger
TIFF
issue.
So
the
public
is
aware
people
that
work
with
and
around
neighborhood
associations
are
aware.
What's
going
on,
and
so
1.5
looks
like
nothing
compared
to
the
larger
amount.
I,
don't
remember,
having
a
conversation,
I
suppose
we're
in
the
45
day
review
and
then
we'll
have
the
conversation
about
whether
or
not
that's
where
the
affordable
housing
money
is
coming
from.
C
C
Gordon
was
here
at
that
time,
and
Andrea
was
around
I
mean
this
was
the
old
NRP
money
that
came
from
the
consolidated
TIF
districts
and
when
NRP
ended
and
the
new
version
came
forward
and
he
went
to
the
state
and
we
asked
them
to
be
able
to
use
that
money
for
economic
development
purposes
broadly
defined.
So
you
would
think
you
almost
wouldn't
need
a
change
to
spend
this
money
on
the
encampment,
because
this
would
be
economic
development
purposes
broadly
defined.
C
So
I
mean
this
is
nothing
compared
to
how
upset
people
couldn't
be
if
they
perceive
us
as
spending
money
on
anything
other
than
neighborhood
related
services.
And
since
that
hasn't
been
worked
out
there
is
you
know,
kind
of
a
level
of
concern.
I,
don't
want
to
call
it
paranoia,
but
I'm
other
people
are
shaking
their
heads,
so
they've
heard
it
too
so
I'm,
not
the
only
one.
So
we
haven't
done
a
very
good
job.
I
will
speak
for
myself
and
explaining
the
neighborhood's
what
this
is,
but
the
budget
process
not
nothing
against
the
budget.
Chair.
C
Encampment
issue
probably
qualifies
clarifying
it
through.
Some
sort
of
motion
makes
sense,
but
I
mean
this
is
nothing
compared
to
the
twenty
million
we're
suggesting
to
go
to
housing.
The
seventeen
million
we're
suggesting
giving
back
to
the
county,
the
multi
million
dollars
we're
talking
about
paying
off
debt
early
on
the
comment
on
the
Target
Center,
which
actually
I'd
support,
because
less
debt
service
means
more
money
going
into
programs.
C
L
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I,
just
want
to
echo
the
comments
of
council
member
Gordon
and
councilmember
Goodman
I.
My
concern
is
that
we
have
decided
what
we
want
to
do,
that
we
want
to
do
something
with
the
encampment
completely
agree
with
that,
and
but
we
haven't
decided
of
how
we're
gonna
do
that
and
my
concern
that
I
just
echoed
the
concerns
of
other
council
members
that
where
this
money
comes
from
is
is
a
statement
of
our
values
and
that
that
is
a
critical
part
of
how
we
answer
this.
K
You,
madam
chair
I,
need
to
go
back
and
watch
the
committee
meeting.
I
wasn't
available
to
attend,
so
I
am
speaking
without
having
that
context,
but
I
think
I
want
to
offer
a
little
different
perspective,
which
is
you
know.
We
have
a
pretty
set
number
of
available
sources
of
funding
to
make
major
investments.
You
know
over
a
million
dollars
or
more-
and
you
know
any
council
member
I
think-
should
sit
down
with
finance.
If
you
haven't
yet
and
get
the
list
of
those
things,
we
have
some
cash
reserves.
We
have
some
specific
land
sales.
K
We
have
a
pretty
large
amount
of
money
in
our
development
account,
which
has
been
kind
of
imagined
to
go
mostly
for
upper
harbor
terminal
redevelopment.
We
have
these
funding
sources
that
the
mayor
has
proposed
to
use
one-time
dollars
for
affordable
housing.
But
beyond
that,
we've
really
tightened
up
our
assumptions
about
revenue
sources.
We've
spent
a
lot
of
the
money
that
was
available
as
cash
or
they're
readily
available
sources
on
the
early
years
of
our
parks
and
streets
commitment,
and
we
did
that
in
order
to
not
have
a
giant
levy
increase
in
any
one
year.
K
As
we
made
an
800
million
dollar
commitment
to
our
parks
and
streets,
so
I
think
my
perspective
is
if
we're
gonna
commit
to
spending
1.5
million
dollars
on
the
encampment,
which
I
think
the
majority
of
the
council
agrees
with.
You
know
the
police
that
we
take
the
money
from
in
the
short
term
being
the
next
few
weeks
or
months,
probably
isn't
as
important
as
the
bigger
picture
of
how
we're
planning
for
some
of
these
other
major
expenditures.
K
The
levy
is
already
planned
to
go
up
more
than
it
has
in
recent
years
in
the
coming
years,
so
we
just
these
are
just
the
choices
that
we
make
when
we
decide
to
spend
1.5
million
dollars
on
something
it
has
to
come
from.
One
of
these
sort
of
small
number
of
readily
available
funds
and
I
think
going
forward.
We
can
always
make
whole
anything
else
that
we
think
we
want
to
commit
to
as
a
as
a
group
of
policy
makers.
A
E
Appreciate
the
conversation
I
think
if
it's
clear
that
we
have
the
1.5
available
in
the
pension
fund
I
think
that's
a
cash
cash
reserve.
There
I
think
that's
a
better
place
to
go
for
now,
so
we
can
keep
having
this
deeper
discussion.
I
may
ultimately
think
it's
all
right
using
the
tax
increment
financing
district
money
for
affordable
housing
for
a
one-time
expense,
but
I
would
expect
to
get
some
assurances
for
myself
and
for
others
about
how
we're
going
to
also
meet
some
of
those
other
needs,
and
we
want
to
look
at
it
carefully.
E
Make
sure
our
obligation
to
the
Target
Center
is
taken
care
of
and
make
sure
that
we
have
some
stability
in
terms
of
funding
our
department,
that's
now
being
funded
out
of
that
and
also
giving
support
appropriately
to
neighborhood
organizations.
So-
and
my
understanding
is
that
there
is
enough
in
the
pension
fund
so
that
we
could
cover
the
1.5
million
for
the
navigation
Center.
G
Thank
You
mr.
president,
Jenkins,
so
just
to
expand
a
little
bit
on
the
sort
of
funding
sources.
Question
of
or
you
know
what
were
we
choosing
between
I
do
think
that
being
too
aggressive
about
taking
cash
out
of
the
pension
fund
is
also
a
policy
discussion.
That
would
be
a
big
policy
discussion,
but
we
did
have,
and
so
I'm
I'm,
not
convinced
that
we
should
focus
all
of
it
on
the
on
the
pension
fund.
G
The
the
reason
that
we
have
extra
money
is
that
there
has
been
a
surplus
that
that
TIF
district
has
over
performed
and
we
are
fully
paying
neighborhoods
what
they
were
promised
for
the
time
period
that
it
was
intended
for,
and
so
this
is,
you
know,
I
think
we
can
have
a
debate
about
whether
that
should
properly
be
considered
neighborhoods
money
that
money
that
goes
to
the
surplus,
but
I'm
not
inclined
to
necessarily
think
of
it.
That
way,
I
think
that
it
makes
sense
to
use
it
for
this
purpose
and
and
I'm
supportive
of
doing
that.
G
M
M
We
are
making
a
significant
policy
decision
to
expand
the
uses
of
this
consolidated,
TIF
district
beyond
their
traditional
traditional
destinations,
and
it
was
so
significant
that
years
ago,
several
years
ago,
council,
member
Gordon
and
I
authored
a
budget
amendment
to
avoid
the
question
actually
because
of
the
mayor's
proposed
budget
that
suggested
a
different
use
and
that
passed
through
the
council
and
so
I.
Think
part
of
the
concern
here
is
that
this
would
come
up
so
suddenly
without
notice,
and
it
really
is
a
major
policy
decision
and
something
that
we
should
have
it
there.
M
M
No,
there
was
$800,000
from
downtown
acid
fund.
It
was
$100,000
from
the
budget
that
was
passed
last
year
and
so
I
vote
against
that.
But
the
committee
passed
that
so
we've
clearly
got
enough
money
in
the
downtown
asset
fund
to
support
subsidies
for
a
large
event.
Why
can't
we
get
to
that
fund,
for
instance,
for
covering,
on
a
short-term
basis,
funding
this
encampment
issue?
M
You
know,
there's
other
sources,
I'm
sure
and
I
I'm
happy
to
work
with
councilmember
Gordon
and
my
colleagues
I'm
finding
a
source
that
we
can
agree
with
and
I
agree
with
councilmember
Goodman
on.
We
need
to
have
a
thorough
discussion
on
this
and
give
people
advance
notice
and
engage
the
community
before
making
such
a
big
policy
decision
on
this,
because
from
our
neighborhood
standpoint
you
know
they're.
M
Collectively
it's
about
5
million
dollars
a
year
right
now
that
they're
getting
they
used
to
have
20
million,
and
so
there's
been
about
a
75%
reduction
over
time
and
from
my
conversations
again,
I
wasn't
there
because
I'm
so
young
and
fairly
new
to
this.
But
from
my
understanding
of
the
conversations
when
the
consolidated
TIF
district
was
created,
the
expectation
was
that
the
excess
funding,
if
there
was
some,
would
eventually
go
to
the
neighborhood
associations.
M
So
you
know
there
it's
understandable,
why
there
would
be
concern
over
this
and
that's
why
I
think
we
need
to
do
our
best
to
fully
engage
our
neighborhood
associations
on
this
and
why
we
need
to
be
transparent
about
it
and
taking
this
emergency
situation
with
the
encampment
and
using
this
moment
as
an
opportunity
to
make
such
a
consequential
policy
decision.
It
just
doesn't
seem
right
to
me
so
I
hope
we
can
figure
out
a
different
source.
M
A
I
I
It
was
really
good
to
get
a
sense
of
how
all
of
the
you
know,
program
level
work
is
is
unfolding
and
the
touch
points
the
council
will
have
with
that
discussion,
and-
and
it
was
you
know
it-
we
did
discuss
how
NCR
as
a
division
or
a
department
does
not
have
ongoing
funding
for
its
operations.
All
of
the
cultural
staff
that
worked
there
all
of
the
administrative
support
and
in
our
director
David
Rubin
door
and
his
team.
I
You
know
if
councilmember
Cunningham
as
the
chair
could
consider
it.
We
could
have
a
hardy
or
conversation
around
what?
What
is
that
that
source
of
funding
that
has
now
been
projected
to
be
more
than
what
we
expected
and
therefore
there's
resources
to
be
shared
and
spread
and
sort
of?
What
is
what
are
the
conversations
around
that
and
what?
What
is
the
process
to
make
decisions
when
there
is
excess
funds
available?
I
This
1.5
coming
from
this
source,
because
we
haven't
had
that
broader
conversation
about
what
is
the
process
for
the
future
of
NCR
and
getting
their
funding
secured,
and
what
is
the
process
for
the
future
of
the
neighborhood
organizations
and
and
I
believe
that
that
work
is
going
to
get
better?
You
know
I,
understand
that.
There's
concerns
that
some
of
the
funding
the
city
has
spent
on
neighborhood
associations
has
in
yielded
a
lot
of
hard
results.
I
I'm,
not
one
of
the
folks
that
feels
that
way.
I
can
see
how
the
money
has
been
really
well
spent
in
low-income
neighborhoods,
like
Phillips
and
Corcoran,
where
there
has
been
extensive
work
done
on
proactive
community
development
projects
and
affordable
housing
projects,
so
I'm
interested
in
seeing
if
there
is
a
way
that
we
can
get
to
like
a
healthier
YES
on
Friday
I'm,
not
quite
sure
what
that
process
would
be
and
who
the
leader
of
that
conversation
might
be.
Maybe
councilmember
Gordon
has
some
ideas
already
and
he's
proposed
some,
but
it.
I
But
the
other
question
I
want
to
put
on
the
table
is
how
much
money
is
the
county
putting
in
are
they?
Are
they
matching
our
1.5
million?
Maybe
they
should
be
putting
in
half
of
the
1.5
million
I'm
just
curious
about
you
know
like
if
we
anticipate
the
entire
project
to
cost
five
million
dollars
I'm
just
making
that
up.
Then
I
hope
that
half
of
that
is
going
to
come
from
the
county
and
and
I
hope
that
the
city
has
been
just
planning
to
be
half
of
that
that
partnership,
so
I'm
just
curious.
I
So
whether
it's
asking
them
to
approve
a
resolution
this
week
or
next
week
or
holding
ours
up
until
theirs
is
ready.
We
can
certainly
take
take
votes
on
this
in
the
in
the
next
week
or
two
and
I'm.
Also,
you
know
flexible
if,
if
folks
feel
like
the
county
is
moving
in
the
right
direction
and
we
don't
have
to
sort
of
hold
up
our
process
and
in
their
stepping
up
in
other
ways.
I
would
be
happy
to
hear
that
information
and
to
support
moving
forward
with
something
on
Friday
so
just
curious.
A
K
You
manager
I
know
the
mayor's
office
has
met
frequently
with
chair
Towson.
We
did
send
a
letter
and
some
communication
to
her
office
after
the
council
meeting.
Of
course
we
ought.
This
is
just
a
fact
and
I
don't
mean
it
to
editorialize
that
that
you
know
the
resolution
was
brought
very
last
minute
with
very
little
time
for
council
members
as
well
as
that,
the
amendment
to
add
this
new
working
group.
So,
of
course
the
chair
found
out
about
that
in
the
press,
which
I
would
understand
why
that
would
be
frustrating
for
any
elected
official.
K
So
we
did
reach
out
we're
waiting
to
hear
back
from
the
county
about
participation
in
the
workgroup.
I
also
did
just
send
I
sent
an
email
to
the
whole
council
with
that
update
last
week,
as
well
as
with
a
thanks
to
the
four
council
members
who've
agreed
to
serve
on
the
working
group.
I
did
you
send
another
email
reminder
today?
I,
don't
think
that
work
group
has
met
yet
and
I
think
even
just
starting
with
the
council
members
would
be
an
important
step
just
because
so
many
of
these
critical
decisions
are
being
made.
K
As
we
speak
and
in
the
very
near
future,
so
it
may
take
some
time
to
get
the
folks
established
from
the
county.
We
do
also
have
a
standing
partnership
with
the
county
called
heading
home.
Hennepin,
chair
calcine
is
the
chair
of
that
group
and
mayor
Frey,
myself
and
councilmember
Schrader
serve
on
that
committee.
I
know
the
next
meeting
is
coming
up
next
week
and
or
maybe
even
later
this
week
and
I
expect
the
full
time
period
of
that
meeting
to
be
spent
addressing
the
city
and
counties
collaboration
on
this.
K
K
They've
been
in
frequent
contact
with
my
commissioner
as
well
I'm
sure
many
of
us
have
been
in
touch
with
the
county
commissioners,
but
I
believe
you
know
part
of
the
issues
that
the
majority
of
communication
has
become
from
the
mayor's
office
to
our
external
partners
and
the
nerdoffice
and
in
the
County,
Commission
and
so
I.
Think
again,
this
working
group
was
intended
to
help
try
to
keep
the
council
more
abreast
of
those
conversations,
and
hopefully
I
mean
council.
A
F
Cunningham,
are
you
ready?
I
am
ready
now,
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
that
line
of
conversation
was
completed.
I'll
be
quick.
I
just
wanted
to
first
say
that
we
have
neighborhoods
2020,
which
is
a
large
work
group
of
folks.
So
we
I
think
that
there
could
be
better
communication
with
that
body
and
then
for
us
to
be
able
to
get
information
out
I'm
just
concerned
about
again
the
the
pinning
of
neighborhoods
versus
other
other
needs,
councilmember
Goodman.
F
If
I
remember,
if
I
remember
hear
you
correctly,
you
were
here
around
what
those
conversations
happen
and
economic
development
is
what
was
accepted
as
as
an
overview,
so
I
I
feel
like
from
the
city's
perspective.
If
we
have
a
profit,
an
unexpected
amount
of
revenue
in
that
it
is
not
inherently
tied,
then
to
neighborhood
associations
but
to
economic
development.
F
So
this
would
fall
within
that,
and
so,
if
we
have
additional
revenue,
I
just
want
to
say
that
here
is
an
opportunity,
a
pressing,
urgent
issue
for
us
to
be
able
to
invest
in
our
values
around
this
and
but
I
say
that
also
with
a
very
hearty
expectation
that
the
county
steps
up
as
well
so
I
to
make
sure
that
we
are
not
absorbing
all
of
it.
At
the
same
time,
I
I
think
that
this
is
a
good
starting
place
for
us
to
have
this
conversation
and
I
do
not
here.
C
Is
completely
true,
no
one
loses
by
spending
1.5
million
dollars
of
the
money
from
the
common
project.
Tif
district
on
the
encampment
I
think.
The
reason
it's
become
a
concern
is
because
of
the
larger
notice.
That's
out
now
with
regard
to
changes
in
the
consolidated
TIF
districts
to
take
20
million
yeah.
You
know
18
times
the
size
and
put
that
towards
affordable
housing
and
the
neighborhood
folks
that
I
have
talked
to
feel
put
off,
that
they're
being
they
are
going
to
have
to
fight
it
out,
which
I
don't
think
they
will.
C
But
this
is
how
they
feel
against
affordable
housing
and
they
want
both
of
those
things
to
happen,
and
they
feel
it's
unfair
to
have
one
pressing
need
pitted
against
another
pressing
need
and
then
I
guess,
I'll,
just
roll
back
to
the
mayor's
budget
put
a
bunch
of
money
into
affordable
housing
without
identifying
in
advance
that
a
major
change
would
be
needed.
With
regard
to
the
comment
project
TIF
districts,
in
order
to
achieve
that
goal,
we're
finding
out
about
that
now
because
of
the
public
notice,
that's
gone
out,
and
then
you
compile
it
with
this
change.
C
That
needs
to
be
made
with
regard
to
the
encampment.
All
of
these
things
are
kind
of
happening
at
once.
So
I
would
I
personally,
although
I'm
not
thrilled
about
using
this
source,
it
is
way
better
than
using.
In
my
opinion,
pension
access
pension
reserves,
which
I
don't
like
the
idea
of
using
reserves
for
something
as
important
as
our
employees,
pensions
and
funding
our
employees,
pensions.
We
don't
know
what
the
result
of
the
legislative
session
the
election
is
going
to
bring.
C
C
Well,
that's
also
debt,
you
guys
and
so
I'm
willing
to
use
some,
but
I
don't
want
to
put
ourselves
back
in
the
position
of
feeling
like
we're
using
a
credit
card
to
fund
the
city's
operations
and
so
I.
Don't
everyone
doesn't
spend
a
lot
of
time
strip
rambling
to
look
for
another
source
to
some
of
this
problem
for
Friday,
but
keep
in
mind
that
what's
coming
in
front
of
us
is
a
20
million
dollar
ask
against
the
neighborhood's
tiny
ask,
but
it
won't
affect
them.
C
Next
year
we
have
a
year
to
figure
out
where
this
neighborhood
money
is
coming
from.
What
the
level
would
be
and
I'm
not
using
my
real
life
I'm,
not
the
oldest
I'm,
usually
about
the
youngest,
but
here
I
seem
to
be
the
oldest
and
so
I
love,
councilmember,
genuinely
love,
councilmember,
jumpers,
I.
Remember
when
neighborhoods
we
want
to
do,
is
fund
neighborhood
organizations,
their
structure,
their
staffing
and
ensure
that
there
is
some
money
for
partnerships
and
collaboration
to
work
on
programs,
but
that
is
not
going
to
be
in
the
twenty
million
dollar
range.
C
The
NRP
program
that
turned
out
twenty
million
dollars
a
year.
Those
days
are
long
gone,
neighborhoods
are
not
making
decisions
about
massive
public
expenditures,
I
mean
if
we
did
that
you'd
have
well
without
question.
You'd
have
like
a
bike
lane
that
started
in
councilmember
benders
word
and
stop
at
nine.
So
just
using
a
fun
example.
We
don't
want
that
yeah
well,
yeah.
That
could
be
too
so
I
mean
we
just
don't
want
that.
I
mean
we
can't.
We
can
no
longer
take
a
giant
chunk
of
money
and
say
to
the
neighborhood's.
C
You
know
spend
it
on
whenever
you
want,
but
we
have
to
have
funding
for
neighborhood
organizations
and
money
to
enhance
collaboration
and
coordination
between
neighborhood
to
solve
city
goals.
That's
going
to
be
a
much
more
difficult
decision,
but
it's
not
going
to
be
20
million
for
affordable
housing
versus
20
million
for
neighborhoods
it's
going
to
be
whatever
we
all
determine
will
be
the
right
amount
for
affordable
housing
at
this
time
compared
to
something
in
the
five
million
dollar
range
per
year
for
neighborhoods
I
just
want
us
kind
of
straighten
that
out.
A
The
chair
wants
to
recognize
councilman
Rose
I
mean,
but
I
will
say,
I
mean
since
I
have
been
acknowledged
as
being
around
for
a
long
time,
then
that
NRP
funding
was
initially
restricted
to
50
percent
of
those
funds
being
used
for
maintaining
housing
and
affordable
housing,
and
so
and
it
was
not,
and
so
to
to
really
to
use
these
funds
for
a
temporary,
affordable
housing
project
or,
however,
you
want
to
frame
that
is
not
incompatible
with
the
intent
of
neighborhood
funds.
Councilman
Robert
Sami
thank.
H
You,
madam
chair
and
you
know,
I,
really
appreciate
a
healthy
discussion
and
an
input
for
my
colleagues.
We
know
and
I.
Think
council.
President
bender
had
mentioned
a
couple
of
times
at
these.
This
navigations
and
the
decision-making
has
been
going
on
rapidly.
You
know
things
are
coming
on
everyday.
It's
not
like
to
answer.
I
don't
want
to
answer
some
of
the
comments
from
my
colleagues,
but
it's
not
like
you
know.
We
found
magic
money,
sources
somewhere
and
hidden
from
everybody
else,
and
we
want
to
take
a
stab
at
it.
H
You
know
it's
very
difficult
situation
right
now
and
to
just
tap
into
that
and
say:
yeah
we're
gonna
use
that
source
and
not
use
the
TIF
money.
You
know
it
made
no
sense
to
me
personally
and
I
think
that's
why
I
supported
the
resolution
and
came
to
support
it
now
with
regards
to
the
discussion
that
we're
gonna
have
in
Neuville
up
to
a
vote,
November
3rd
and
a
public
hearing.
This
is
not
about
that,
and
this
is
not
about
the
mayor's
budget.
H
This
is
about
the
encampment
in
Ward
6
that
we've
all
decided
that
we're
gonna
do
something
about
and
I
believe
that
this
source
of
money
makes
sense,
and
my
initial
thinking
was
not
to
pick
neighborhoods
or
take
something
from
neighborhoods
and
we
haven't
discussion
with
neighborhoods
2020.
You
know
with
David,
Rubin
or
and
the
rest
everyday.
You
know,
I
have
discussions
all
the
time.
I
have
actually
a
neighborhood
in
my
ward
and
Cedar
Riverside
that
doesn't
have
a
function,
neighborhood
organization
and
we're
trying
to
fix
something.
So
this
was
not
about
that.
H
However,
this
is
not
about
that
discussion
that
we
should
have
and
we
will
continue
to
have-
and
we
have
a
public
hearing
on
November,
3rd
and
we'd
love
to
have
your
support
on
the
resolution
and
just
moving
this
navigation
Center
forward
and
I
do
believe
and
I
think
the
council
leadership
and
we
have
both
council
president
vice
president
here
on
this
committee.
We
need
to
have
that
discussion
going
forward.
What's
kind
of
emergencies
emerge?
H
What
should
we
learn
from
it
from
this
year,
and
we
should
not
have
this
repetitive
pressure
on
our
staff
but
I
think
moving
forward.
You
know
this
makes
sense
to
me
and
we
shouldn't
be
too
orthodoxy
with
regards
to
the
consolidated
money
and
with
regards
to
neighborhood
funding,
we
should
be
creative,
but
we
need
to
address
this
emergency
and
I.
Think
I
also
remember
Palmisano,
mentioned
to
me
earlier
today
in
a
side
discussion
that
we,
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
an
opportunity
to
demonstrate
that
we
can
do
better
with
address
this
type
of
homeless.
H
Crisis
than
other
cities
have
have
done,
and
we
can
actually
be
a
model,
regardless
of
how
confusing
our
process
has
been
and
how
difficult
is
been
that
we
could
actually
be
a
model
for
other
cities
to
follow,
because
homelessness
is
a
fact
that
is
going
to
increase
as
inequality
increases
in
our
society.
Thank
you.
E
Thank
you
and
I.
Don't
know
that
we
have
to
belabor
the
history
too
much,
but
that
what
God
approved
in
the
past
is
still
what
we're
supposed
to
be
following,
and
this
so
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
for
folks
that
the
tax
increment
finance
district
is
pretty
massive
and
because
over
4,000
parcels
in
it
and
when
we
actually
had
the
debate-
and
we
agreed
that
we
would
do
decertify
half
of
it.
What
we
were
debating
was
property
tax
relief
verses
and
we
came
up
with
two
things.
E
E
So
that's
more
than
what
I'm
worried
about
is
the
deal
we
made
with
ourselves
and
the
people
of
Minneapolis,
not
that
the
neighborhood
organizations
haven't
got
hole
and
failed
on
the
commitments
we
made
for
them,
which
we
have
and
I
think
it's
a
worthwhile
discussion
and
I
think
there
are
ways
that
we
can
get
to
the
bigger
picture
about
what
we're
supposed
to
do
next
year
and
address
affordable
housing.
I'm.
E
Also
hearing
that
there's
not
uniformity
about
the
idea
of
is
relying
solely
on
the
pensions
I
do
hope
that
maybe
we
can
have
some
discussions
before
Friday,
maybe
there's
a
way
to
rely
less
on
that
taxing
district.
It's
unfortunate.
We
have
to
pass
a
resolution
actually
declaring
the
navigation
Center
neighborhood
revitalization
purposes,
without
having
a
hearing
and
without
doing
all
that
so
I,
hopefully
councilmember
or
Sami,
will
give
me
the
opportunity
to
meet
councilmember.
Fletcher
will
also
accept
more
information
about
how
large
the
reserves
are
in
the
page.
E
A
L
You,
madam
chair,
the
zoning
and
planning
committee
will
be
bringing
forward
four
items
on
Friday.
The
first
is
a
granting
of
appeal
by
Paul
Abner
for
424
Washington
Avenue
North.
The
second
is
the
passing
of
an
ordinance
and
split
to
Zoning.
The
third
is
the
passing
of
an
ordinance
unlimited
energy
on
limited
entertainment
and
fourth,
is
the
passing
of
an
ordinance
regarding
regulation
of
grouped
of
mechanical
equipment
and
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
are.
B
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
We
did
have
an
audit
committee
meeting
this
week
on
Monday
and
we
did
receive
and
file
an
order
published
the
payroll
audit,
which
has
been
a
long
time
in
coming,
so
there's
no
action
needed
on
Friday
by
Council
with
that
audit
committees,
an
independent
committee
of
council.
Thank
you.
Thank.
