or

items
have
been

and
now,
let's
move
to
our
discussion
item,
which
is
item
number
23,
and
this
is
the
Downtown
East
project,
Ryan
companies,
debt
service,
payment
and
Minnesota
sports
facilities,
Authority
m/s/s
a
parking
ramp
performance
report
and
we
have
can
you
state
your
name,
sir?
Yes,.
B
B
Many
of
you
may
recall
back
in
February
of
2014,
the
city
entered
into
a
development
agreement
with
Ryan
companies
and
the
Minnesota
sports
facilities,
Authority
the
MS
FA
for
the
redevelopment
of
a
five-block
area
known
as
the
Downtown
East
project.
This
area
is
located
just
west
of
us
Bank
Stadium.
Since
that
time,
development
in
the
project
has
included
the
Commons
Park
to
office
towers,
occupied
by
Wells,
Fargo
rental
housing,
known
as
the
addition,
the
Radisson
red
hotel
and
the
millwright
office
building.
B
Pursuant
to
the
development
agreement
in
March
of
2014,
the
city
issued
approximately
sixty
four
million
dollars
in
taxable
general
obligation
bonds.
Proceeds
of
those
bonds
were
used
for
land
acquisition
for
the
Commons
basic
construction
costs
of
the
Commons,
a
large
portion
of
the
construction
of,
what's
known
as
the
Mills
Fleet
Farm
ramp.
That's
the
above-ground
ramp,
that's
attached
by
Skyway
to
the
stadium,
other
site
costs
and
financing
costs.
The
death
service
on
the
bonds
is
available
from
two
sources.
B
The
first
source
is
payments
that
Ryan
makes
to
the
city
on
January
15th
each
year
to
cover
debt
service.
Those
payments
are
made
were
made
starting
January
15th
of
2017,
and
they
will
continue
until
the
later
of
January,
15th
2016,
which
would
be
ten
years
or
the
point
in
which
the
combined
net
operating
income
of
the
two
ramps,
which
is
not
only
the
Mills
Fleet
Farm
ramp,
but
the
underground
parking
garage
across
the
street.
That's
under
the
US
Bank
LRT
station,
when
the
combined
El
Noi
of
those
two
ramps
exceeds
four
million
dollars.
B
After
that
point,
the
the
second
source
of
payment
on
the
bonds
is
payments
that
the
MS
FA
will
make
to
the
city
on
a
semi-annual
basis
out
of
the
operating
funds
of
the
two
ramps
and
those
are
projected
to
be
sufficient
to
pay
for
the
bond
issue
thereafter.
If,
for
any
reason
there
insufficient
money
in
that
particular
account,
the
city
would
pick
up
the
shortfall
and
then
later
on,
as
there's
excess
net
operating
income
from
the
two
ramps,
the
city
would
be
repaid
with
interest.
B
The
combined
net
operating
income
of
the
two
ramps
was
approximately
two
point:
eight
seven
million
for
2018
the
budgeted
amount
of
combined
Noi
is
approximately
four
million
a
little
bit
over
that
so
right
now
the
two
ramps
are
operating
a
little
bit
better
than
projected,
which
is
good.
That's
what
we
want.
Those
ramps
to
continue
to
be
profitable
City
is
protected
through
the
Ryan
payments,
for
like
I,
say
for
the
first
ten
years,
and
then
after
that,
we'll
be
relying
on
the
net
operating
income
from
those
two
rounds.
A
Any
further,
this
journalist
item
seeing
none
I,
move
to
receive
and
file
this
item,
all
in
approval,
say
I
and
those
opposed
say.
No.
Okay.
That
motion
passes
and
we
have
item
number
24,
which
is
the
Super
Bowl
activity
and
event,
revenues
receiving
and
filing
report,
providing
an
estimate
of
the
incremental
revenues
related
to
Minneapolis
local
taxes
and
other
revenues
that
resulted
from
the
Super,
Bowl
and
related
activities
and
events
in
the
ten
year
in
the
ten
day
period
leading
up
to
the
NFL
championship,
and
we
have
our
CFO
mr.
ma
Croft
make
the
presentation.
C
C
To
give
different
perspective
on
what
happened
with
the
Super
Bowl
I
would
expect
that
this
will
probably
be
the
last
presentation
on
the
Super
Bowl
that
will
have
at
the
city,
but
it
is
in
response
to
questions
that
council
members
and
others
have
brought
forth
to
us,
which
is
not
only
what
kind
of
expenses
did
we
have
during
this
event?
But
what
type
of
revenues
did
we
have?
And
certainly,
if
you
have
questions
on
expenses,
we
have
Britney
Allen
and
Pat
borne,
who
were
deeply
involved
in
this
process.
C
C
In
addition
to
the
sales
tax
which
we're
going
to
talk
about
this
afternoon,
I
will
also
mention
that
not
directly
from
the
host
committee,
but
certainly
for
events
that
took
place
during
the
the
January
and
February
timeframe
of
2018.
We
also
had
a
slight
increase
in
some
of
our
business
license
fees.
The
last
that
I
saw
was
first
quarter
of
2018
we're
about
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
higher
on
business
licenses
related
to
food
and
liquor
than
2017.
C
Quite
honestly,
we
didn't
take
the
time
to
go
through
that,
but
I
just
want
to
lay
out
there
that
there
are
several
areas
where
revenues
were
higher
than
previous
years
and
that's
one
clearly
we
have
increased
expenses
every
time
there
is
a
liquor
license
or
a
food
license
that
is
brought
in
as
well,
and
so
we
expect
that
those
are
largely
offsetting,
but
but
it
was
a
positive
from
net
positive
from
the
previous
year,
just
a
brief
overview
again
on
the
city's
local
sales
and
entertainment
taxes.
We
have
five
of
them.
C
There's
the
half
percent
general
sales
tax.
There
is
a
lodging
tax
which
was
has
a
cap
on
it
overall,
when
you
combine
all
sales
taxes,
and
so
that
was
recently
reduced,
that's
a
blast
fall.
It's
a
two
point,
one
two:
five
percent.
We
were
at
the
legislature
this
year
to
get
that
back
up
to
three
percent,
which
is
what
was
originally
prescribed.
We
had
that
in
the
tax
bill,
thanks
to
the
efforts
of
the
IGR
committee.
D
C
C
So,
a
couple
years
ago,
the
host
committee,
when
we
were
talking
about
some
of
these
negotiations,
had
a
consultant
the
same
consultant
that
you've
heard
about
in
the
media
rockport
that
performed
an
analysis
not
just
of
a
local
economic
impact,
but
we
requested,
and
the
host
committee
agreed
to
have
them
focus
just
on
the
Minneapolis
city
taxes,
and
at
that
this
was
again
before
the
reduction
in
the
lodging
tax.
It
was
a
two
point.
Five
percent
are
two
point:
five
million
dollar
projection
on
net
cities,
sales
and
entertainment
taxes.
C
C
This
is
a
number
that
was
calculated
by
our
city
staff.
In
fact,
mr.
Winkle
Hague,
who
just
gave
the
presentation,
was
very
involved
in
this
review,
and
we
did
work
with
the
host
committee
also,
but
we
independently
verified
those
numbers
ourselves,
actually
instigated
it
that
that
evaluation
and
verified
those
ourselves
with
Department
of
Revenue
numbers.
C
D
C
So
with
that
I
would
just
say
as
a
general
nature,
those
sales
and
entertainment
taxes
were
across
the
board.
It
was
kind
of
it
was
an
equal
amount
among
all
five
taxes,
but
relatively
equal
amounts,
as
we
would
expect
so.
I
think
the
good
news.
This
is
that
we
met
all
projections.
From
that
standpoint,
the
other
good
news
is
that
we
had
other
revenues
that
the
city
didn't
receive
and
for
that
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
Mitchell.
F
Good
afternoon,
council
members,
John
Morris,
director
of
traffic
and
parking
services
mark
indicated
with
the
superball
there
were
a
number
of
public
works
revenue
items
and
on
the
slide
in
front
of
you,
is
an
overview
of
three
basic
types
of
revenue.
Part
of
this
is
Lane
use
and
obstruction
permits.
The
second
is
on
street
parking
and
the
third
is
off
street
parking.
The
top
half
of
this
chart
illustrates
those
services
and
and
charges
that
the
Super
Bowl
host
committee
requested.
So
they
wanted
to
obstruct
the
lane.
They
wanted
to
reserve
a
meter.
F
They
wanted
to
use
a
parking
space,
etc,
and
so
those
numbers
reflect
the
revenues
that
were
brought
in
specifically
as
requested
by
them.
The
bottom
half
of
the
of
the
chart
really
outlines
the
regular
revenue
in
comparison,
so,
if
I
take
out
of
our
system,
those
spaces
and
those
activities
that
the
Super
Bowl
host
committee
requested,
what
is
left
in
our
system
and
how
did
it
compare
in
that
regards?
We
looked
at
these
revenues,
as
noted
here
over
a
three
month
or
a
ten
month,
compares
or
10-day
comparison
respectively
and
said.
F
How
did
they
compare
to
previous
years
in?
In
the
context
of
that,
you
will
note
that
the
Lane
use
fees
are
reduced
from
from
the
previous
years
and
the
key
element
of
that
is
during
this
time
period
for
the
Super
Bowl.
We
actually
put
in
a
construction
moratorium,
so
we
were
not
allowing
other
private
use
or
private
development
use
of
the
public
right-of-way,
which
normally
generates
revenue
during
that
same
time
period,
and
so
in
that
context
we
in
this
card.
F
If
you
compare
the
proportion
to
the
lower
portion,
we
netted
out
approximately
$100,000
difference
between
the
the
top
area,
where
we
collected
money
from
the
from
the
host
committee
and
but
we
did
not
collect
from
others
in
that
regards
in
that
loss.
The
bottom
two
areas
there
indicate
that
we
have
a
slight
increase
in
our
on
street
parking
meter
revenue,
which
is,
in
addition,
and
then
also
the
off-street
revenue,
as
we
look
at
those
10-day
periods
in
that
regards
in
totality
approximately
a
1.2
million
dollar
total
difference
of
increase
in
revenue.
F
I
should
note
that
there
is
some
information
in
the
RCA
there's
a
typo
correction
in
there.
Some
of
this
revenue
on
this
sheet
includes
revenue
that
was
generated
not
specifically
on
behalf
of
the
of
the
state
for
the
ABC
parking
ramps,
and
so
that's
in
there,
and
so
the
number
in
the
RCA,
which
is
stated
at
1.1
million,
is
really
six
hundred
and
seventy
seventy
five
thousand
dollars
which
comes
directly
to
the
city,
where
the
rest
of
that
would
be
going
to
the
state
for
their
share
of
parking
in
their
ramps.
G
Event
days
in
January
in
February,
here's
a
picture
of
our
super
employees
and
contractors
and
we
really
felt
the
impact
of
the
Super
Bowl.
Personally,
as
did
many
others
in
the
hospitality
community.
Collectively,
we
all
worked
very
hard
to
accomplish
a
successful
Super
Bowl.
The
success
was
felt
in
both
pride
and
the
pocketbooks
of
our
staff.
The
impact
of
the
Super
Bowl
was
personal
to
us.
G
Because
we
hosted
the
Super
Bowl,
we
were
able
to
provide
more
opportunities
for
employment
and
growth.
We
hired
a
very
diverse
group
of
twenty
additional
staff
to
work
an
overnight
shift
from
October
of
2017
through
the
end
of
March
2018,
and
this
really
was
to
help
us
through
the
compressed
schedule
leading
up
to
throughout
and
after
the
Super
Bowl.
We've
already
been
able
to
hire
permanently
three
of
these
20
staff
members
and
we
hope
to
hire
more
two
of
our
regular
staff.
G
Members
took
onto
the
increased
role
and
pay
of
leading
these
new
hires
on
the
overnight
crew
and
both
of
those
staff.
Members
were
given
this
opportunity,
our
part
of
demographics,
that
we
would
really
like
to
increase
in
our
leadership,
and
so
again
it
gave
them
an
opportunity
to
learn
new
skills
and
to
grow
as
employees
and
our
staff
worked
long
hours
and
watched
a
lot
of
miles.
Just
three
of
our
staff
worked
or
walked
a
combined
212
miles
over
the
10
days.
G
That's
like
walking
to
Fargo
North
Dakota
many
accolades
have
been
received
for
the
hard
work
during
the
Superbowl,
including
the
city's
North
Star
Award,
presented
to
our
event,
operations
manager,
Kurt
Hickok,
for
his
leadership
and
operational
plan
during
the
Super
Bowl
Super
Bowl
had
a
direct,
important
financial
impact
to
our
employees,
especially
those
employees
who
work
on
an
hourly
or
part-time
basis.
Money
received
from
the
Super
Bowl
stayed
in
our
community
just
as
an
example.
G
Our
seven
full-time
production
text
worked
very
hard,
but
they
also
were
rewarded
with
fifty
three
thousand
dollars
more
pay
during
this
14
day
period
than
they
made
last
year.
During
that
same
14,
day
period.
Additionally,
local
13
I
had
seen
members
that
were
called
off
the
bench
received
hours
and
pays
significantly
more
than
last
year.
These
figures
don't
account
for
the
hundreds
of
hours
that
were
worked
by
I
Otzi
members
that
were
called
off
the
bench
or
other
events
and
other
by
other
people
within
even
the
Convention
Center.
G
Our
partners
and
contractors
help
support
our
operations
and
our
success.
One
partner,
caliber
catering,
had
impress
'''l
impressive
personal
impacts
during
the
Super
Bowl.
Almost
200
more
people
worked
during
this
timeframe
than
worked
last
year.
The
total
number
of
hours
that
staff
worked
was
three
times
higher
than
the
same
period
last
year,
leading
to
an
increase
of
three
hundred
and
seventy-five
thousand
dollars
in
Union
payroll.
Again,
all
of
this
money
stayed
in
our
community.
G
The
Convention
Center
had
historic,
overall
gross
revenues
from
the
Super
Bowl
events
at
2.3
million
dollars.
These
revenues
were
1.3
million
dollars
higher
than
our
largest
past
event.
Ever
for
the
month
of
February,
the
convention
center
ran
at
an
all-time
record,
operating
profit
of
1.1
million
dollars
and
due
to
the
compression
of
events,
we
are
also
currently
running
at
an
operating
profit
through
the
end
of
April
financials.
G
So
I
thought
you'd
also,
like
some
other
fun
facts
to
look
at
I.
Think
my
favorite
here
is
that
we
sold
over
a
hundred
thousand
tater
tots
as
part
of
our
Tater
Tot
hot
dish
purchases.
So
again
what
greater
greater
way
to
pass
on
our
culture
to
the
world
and
beyond
the
numbers.
We
know
that
our
future
business
will
be
supported
by
the
Super
Bowl,
because
visitors
liked
what
they
saw
and
said
they
would
come
back
over
90
percent
of
visitors
said
they
would
return
to
Minneapolis.
G
H
Thank
You
mr.
chair,
thank
you
for
this
presentation.
Mr.
Johnson
I'm
curious.
There
are
a
lot
of
fun
facts
in
these
slides,
but
how
did
these
figures
compare
with
what
we
thought?
You
know
what
our
projections
were,
what
our
expectations
were?
Did
they
generally
exceed
expectations?
I,
don't
think,
had
an
expectation
for
a
certain
number
of
tater
tots,
but
you
know
what
I
mean
in
general.
G
Terrace
on
the
council,
no
problems.
I
know
it
was
hard
for
us
to
make
a
prediction
on
what
revenues
would
come
in
for
the
event,
just
knowing
that
our
largest
event
ever
had
brought
in
revenues
of
1
million
dollars,
and
so
at
this
event,
that
2.3
million
dollars.
We
were
all
pretty
blown
away
by
the
number
when
it
came
in
so
definitely
it
exceeded
our
expectations
for
the
amount
of
people
that
came
through
the
building
and
for
the
expenses
and
revenues
that
we
brought
in
and.
H
H
G
How
clean
the
city
is,
how
much
there
is
to
do
in
the
city
and
so
to
me,
that's
what
the
Super
Bowl
has
done
for
us.
It
has
put
the
eyes
on
Minneapolis
and
allowed
people
to
say.
Wow
I
can't
believe
what
a
great
city
you
have
and
that's
where
this
90
over
90%
of
visitors,
saying
yeah
I,
want
to
come
back,
really
falls
in
line
with
what
we've
been
seeing
over
time
and
what
meet
Minneapolis
has
been
seeing
as
they
go
out
and
talk
about
Minneapolis.
I
Cunningham
Thank
You
mr.
chair
I
just
wanted
to
take
a
moment
to
say
thank
you
for
this
presentation.
You
know
the
the
tots
number
was
fun,
but
you
know
really
being
able
to
see
the
amount
of
work
that
humans
put
into
all
of
this
a
lot
of
times.
We
see
numbers
and
dollars,
but
we
forget
that
it's
humans
who
are
behind
all
of
that
work
and
so
something
as
simple
as
how
many
steps
people
took
like
that.
Just
really
gives
a
solid
vision.
I
We
talked
so
much
about
this
high
level
event,
but
there
were
thousands
of
people
who
made
it
possible,
and-
and
so
thank
you
so
much
for
taking
the
time
to
bring
that
humanity
to
the
council
and
also
make
it
fun
so
I
just
want.
We
don't
really
get
enough
enough
opportunities
to
be
able
to
raise
and
praise
employees
who
make
all
of
these
things
possible.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
bringing
that
today,
Thank
You,
councilman.
J
J
One
of
the
things
that
I'm
very
interested
in
is,
we
think
about.
Events
generally
is
thinking
about
looking
at
the
impact
for
small
businesses
looking
at
the
ways
that
that
this
money
gets
to
to
other
folks.
So
one
thing
I
want
to
lift
up
that
wasn't
in
your
presentation,
but
that
I
know
happened
over
the
course.
J
So
it
took
some
real
work
to
pull
off
and
I
really
appreciate
that
one
of
the
things
that
obviously
we
hope
is
going
to
come
out
of
this
is
additional
business.
That
was
one
of
the
things
that
we
talked
about
and
you
mentioned
in
the
meet
Minneapolis
slide
an
increase
in
leads
and
I.
Guess
I'm,
wondering
I
mean
it's
a
little
bit
of
a
tough
news
day
to
be
presenting
Minneapolis
data,
but
I
I,
guess
I
am
wondering
if
we've
got
anything
a
little
more
concrete
about.
J
If
any
of
those
leads
are
converting
it,
you
know
what
kind
of
leads
are.
Those
are
those
the
kinds
of
business
that
we
sort
of
have
goals
to
be
recruiting
in
terms
of
what's
coming
into
the
convention
center
I'm
curious
now
now
that
we're
like
six
months
out,
if
we,
if
we
have
a
sense
of
things
actually
getting
booked
and
on
the
calendar
and
and
coming
in
and
bringing
additional
revenue
share,.
G
G
Don't
have
the
figures
in
front
of
me
right
now
after
the
Superbowl,
where
it
is,
but
that
is
definitely
something
that
we
will
be
tracking
and
can
report
on
and
see
if
there
was
a
spike
in
the
conversion
rating
and
which
events
or
which
clients
we
had
in
town
during
the
Superbowl,
if
they
ended
up
signing
or
not
and
definitely
get
that
information.
Thank
you.
A
Q,
any
other
questions
or
discussion
aside.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
to
all
the
staff
and
I
make
a
make
a
motion
to
receive
and
file
this
item
all
in
approval,
say
aye,
those
against
the
item
passes,
and
we
have
our
final
presentation-
and
this
is
item
number
25.
The
20-year
neighborhood
park
plan
2018
annual
report
and
we
have
some
of
our
Park.
E
Afternoon
and
thank
you,
my
name
is
Mary
Merrill,
the
interim
superintendent
at
the
Minneapolis
Park
and
Recreation
Board,
Chair,
Masami
and
council
members
I'm
so
happy
to
be
here.
I'm
proud
to
be
here,
I'm
excited
about
this
historic
agreement
that
happened
between
the
City
Council
and
the
Minneapolis
Park
and
Recreation
Board
to
really
look
at
the
infrastructure
of
this
city,
which
is
really
largely
based
on
parks
and
began
to
repair
that
that
infrastructure
we've
known
about
this
deficit
for
a
long
time.
K
E
I
was
superintendent
before
former
mayor
Sharon
self
Belton.
We
worked
on
this
issue
and
began
to
make
some
progress.
We
certainly
didn't
come
anywhere
near
what
you
were
able
to
do
as
a
part
of
the
MPP
20,
but
we're
here
today
to
say
that
generations
before
us
really
invested
in
our
city
and
they
invested
in
our
parks,
and
that
has
made
us
a
number
one
park
system
going
forward
into
the
future.
L
Thank
You
chair,
Masami,
councilmembers,
again
I'm
Jennifer,
Ringgold
I'm,
the
deputy
superintendent
for
the
Minneapolis
Park
and
Recreation
Board.
You
should
have
in
front
of
you
I
hope
the
actual
annual
report
report.
So
this
will
be
the
first
of
20
times.
We
will
come
and
do
this
for
you
not
this
year,
but
over
the
next
20
years
within
there,
you
will
find
our
executive
summary.
L
The
brief
report
on
the
2015
closing
the
gap,
some
information
on
the
critical
ordinances
that
are
the
foundation
of
this
work,
where
we've
been
in
terms
of
planning
and
implementation,
look
at
the
maintenance,
the
rehab
and
the
capital,
investments
that
are
underway
or
have
already
occurred,
and
then
the
appendices
are
quite
robust
and
give
you
basically
all
of
the
legal
documents
and
all
of
kind
of
the.
If
you
want
to
see
how
each
Park
is
rated,
for
example,
all
of
those
documents
are
there
for
you,
as
superintendent
Merrill
had
indicated.
L
This
is
a
historic
agreement
between
the
city
and
the
park
board.
We
are
very,
very
grateful
for
it
and
it
establishes
funding
for
basically
the
next
20
years
for
neighborhood
parks.
This
work
followed
after
about
a
year's
work
of
Investigation.
We
had
known
that
the
infrastructure
in
our
neighborhood
parks
was
not
keeping
pace,
so
we
spent
some
time
to
really
look
at
each
of
those
parks.
Look
at
the
life
cycle
for
each
of
the
amenities
within
those
parks
and
I
think
what
we
discovered
was
even
more
surprising
than
what
we
had
anticipated.
L
We
saw
soon
discovered
that,
at
the
pace
we
were
at
by
2020,
70%
of
our
infrastructure
in
the
neighborhood
parks
would
be
beyond
its
useful
life.
We
also
knew
that
by
2020
we
would
be
a
hundred
and
fifty-seven
thousand
fifty
seven
million
dollars
behind,
and
if
we
continued
that
pace
through
2040,
we
would
be
461
million
dollars
behind.
So
this
was
important
and
we
are
deeply
grateful
for
the
relationship
we
have
with
you
on
this.
L
L
We
also
shortly
after
that,
so
in
July
of
2016
we
established
an
ordinance
that
would
articulate
how
those
dollars
got
spent
within
the
neighborhood
parks
and
that
particular
ordinance
lays
out
I'll
talk
about
that
in
a
minute,
but
specifically
how
those
dollars
would
go
towards
parks
that
would
have
received
less
funding
previously
and
might
be
in
most
need
of
funding.
Today,.
L
Because
of
the
agreement,
we
are
able
to
begin
reversing
the
years
of
underfunding
for
160
neighborhood
parks.
We
have,
we
have
actually
protected
current
funding
levels
and
really
put
a
strong
protection
in
for
those
additional
funding
levels
that
you
have
put
forward
and
it
dedicates
the
11
million
dollars
annually
to
a
maintenance
rehab
in
capital.
Every
five
years
we
have
the
opportunity
to
work
with
you
to
adjust
the
the
rate,
so
that
dollar
amount
might
change
over
time.
L
Tables
that
articulate
out
basically
the
ratings
of
each
park.
There
are
seven
criteria.
This
is
what
it
gets
put
forward
in
our
on
our
ordinance.
That
looks
at
how
to
allocate
the
dollars
and
those
seven
criteria.
Look
at
al
ocation
from
areas
of
concentrated
poverty,
racially
equity,
racially
concentrated
poverty,
population
density,
youth
density
and
neighborhood
safety,
as
well
as
information
about
the
assets
itself
and
I.
Think
one
of
the
most
important
aspects
of
the
asset
itself,
as
it
helps
us,
even
if
we've
spent
money
in
a
park
before
put
it
into
proportion.
L
So
you
can
spend
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
a
park
and
maybe
it
only
has
a
playground
and
that
basically
solves
that
parks
need.
But
if
you
put
money
into
a
park
say
four
hundred
thousand
in
the
park,
that's
the
size
of
North
Commons,
where
you
have
millions
of
dollars
of
assets
in
there.
Four
hundred
thousand
doesn't
actually
do
the
same
level
of
work,
so
it
it
looks
at
that
as
well.
L
The
report
as
Julie
or
as
Julie
will
talk
about
a
little
bit
more
and
Mary
had
mentioned
is
required.
We
need
to
come
to
you
every
year
and
tell
you
how
we
are
doing,
and
that's
a
really
important
part
of
this,
and
this
one
covers
2016
to
2018
and
the
reason
why
it
has
2016,
and
it
is
that
you
were
kind
enough
to
ensure
we
had
a
little
bit
of
startup
money.
L
So
you
made
sure
we
had
a
1.5
million
in
start-up
dollars
to
get
us
started
and
then
2018
looks
forward
to
you
know
what
we
see
coming
this
year,
that
startup
money
was
used
primarily
to
drill
down
in
assessments.
So,
while
we
knew
on
a
large
scale,
what
needed
to
be
done,
we
needed
to
start
prioritizing
and
understanding
what
those
assessments
needed
to
be
done
and
allowed
us
to
get
staffing
in
place
and
get
some
of
the
equipment
in
place
that
we
would
need
to
do.
L
So
you
would
expect,
as
we
would
expect
to
start
to
see
some
impacts
that
happen
on
an
operating
level.
We
don't
have
enough
done
yet
for
those
data
points
to
actually
start
showing
up.
We
will
start
anticipating
being
able
to
show
that
to
you
next
year
and
with
that
director
Wiseman
will
come
up
and
talk
more
about
the
specific
financing.
M
Councilmembers
I'm
Julie
Wiseman
I'm,
the
finance
director
for
the
Minneapolis
Park
Board
and
I'm
gonna
step
you
through
some
of
the
financials
that
you
will
find
in
the
NPP
20
annual
report.
Again.
This
is
a
report
on
the
financial
side
of
what
was
accomplished
in
2017
and
then
what
is
planned
for
2018
I'm,
the
NPP
maintenance
side,
the
Minneapolis,
Park
and
Recreation
Board
received
three
million
dollars,
that
was
a
property
tax
levy
and
that
was
included
in
our
2017
Minneapolis
Park
Board
general
fund
property
tax
levy
going
forward
as
a
part
of
our
budget
process.
M
We
recommend
a
maximum
property
tax
levy
and
in
December
we
adopt
the
levy
for
the
next
year.
So
in
2018
we
adopted
that
levy
with
a
4.2
percent
increase.
So
in
2017
we
had
three
million
dollars
for
maintenance.
In
2018
we
will
have
3.1
million
dollars
in
maintenance.
Our
process
for
enhancing
and
increasing
our
maintenance
practices
is,
is
to
analyze
the
current
procedure,
evaluate
and
develop
a
work
plan,
train
and
implement
program
changes,
analyze
the
outcomes
of
those
program
changes
and
then
implement
them
going
into
the
future
2017.
M
We
spent
by
the
end
of
2017,
almost
the
full
three
million
dollars.
It's
about
twenty
thousand
dollars
shy
of
the
three
million
dollars,
so
we
were
able
to
utilize
those
funds
in
2017,
so
really
on
the
maintenance
side.
It's
about
increasing
our
service
delivery,
so
there
is
a
chart
which
is
actually
on
page
12
of
your
report
and
I've
showed
this
on
the
PowerPoint
here.
So,
for
example,
our
2016
service
level
for
mowing
was
on
average
of
14
days
in
2017.
M
M
So
when
you
get
into
the
capital
improvement
side,
the
Minneapolis
Park
Board
adopts
a
capital
improvement
program.
Just
like
the
city
of
Minneapolis.
We
go
through
the
click
process
like
the
city
of
Minneapolis
and
on
the
capital
side
we
historically
or
predate
predate
MPP
20
received
about
2.5
million
dollars
of
net
debt
bonds.
As
part
of
the
NPP
20
funding,
we
receive
an
additional
8
million
dollars
for
a
total
neighborhood
capital
program
of
10.5
million.
As
a
part
of
the
ordinance,
the
city
has
discretion
on
where
those
dollars
come
from.
M
The
previous
council
and
the
previous
Council
adopted
a
2018
budget
that
shows
for
the
next
5
years
that
those
will
come
from
net
debt
bonding.
But
of
course
the
City
Council
will
be
able
to
adjust
and
account
for
that
during
their
budget
process
going
forward
as
well
and
again
as
superinten
as
deputy
superintendent
ringgold
stated
within
the
ordinance
every
five
years
we
will
be
looking
at
the
capital
program
and
negotiating
between
the
park
board
and
the
city
on
any
inflationary
adjustments
that
need
to
be
made
to
that
amount.
M
You'll
see
that
our
six-year
program
between
2017
and
2022
is
broken
out
between
capital
and
rehabilitation
and
on
this
chart,
you'll
see
that
the
green
section
of
the
chart,
which
is
rehabilitation
gradually
gets
smaller,
and
the
blue
part
of
the
chart
gradually
gets
larger.
As
with
everything
with
deferred
maintenance
of
our
capital
infrastructure,
there
is
much
more
rehab
that
needs
to
be
done
in
the
immediate
first
years
to
shore
up
buildings
that
will
not
get
a
large
investment
until
later
in
the
capital
program.
M
M
One
thing
before
I
turn
it
over
to
Michael.
One
thing
about
rehabilitation:
2
is
that
we
we
budget
by
category
in
the
rehabilitation
area,
but
as
we
go
into
a
park,
if
we
determine
that
there
there's
going
to
be
work
done
in
that
particular
part.
We
look
at
all
rehabilitation
categories
at
that
time
and
try
to
make
sure
that
we're
only
interrupting
that
building
for
at
one
time,
rather
than
several
times
over
several
years.
M
D
You
mr.
chair
I
just
had
a
question
on
the
park
lighting
component.
Does
the
park
board
have
a
policy
on
dark
sky
friendly
lighting?
I
know
it's
a
huge
issue
for
wildlife,
with
30%
of
mammals
and
60%
of
invertebrates
requiring
darkness
in
order
to
basically
live,
and
it's
also
just
for
my
colleagues
to
note
it's
actually
counterintuitive
to
what
people
think.
They
think
that
when
buildings
and
streets
are
more
well
lit,
that
it
actually
reduces
crimes,
but
studies
have
found
the
opposite.
D
K
We're
signing
council
member
Johnson,
another
council
members,
my
name
is
Michael
Schroeder,
I'm
assistant
superintendent,
for
planning
and
to
address
the
council.
Member
Johnson
is
question.
We
do
we
do
look
for
opportunities
to
implement
dark
skies
as
we
go
through
the
replacement
process
on
lighting.
If
you've
been
around
some
of
our
regional
parks,
we
have
lights
to
cast,
but
the
cube
lights
that
disperse
light
kind
of
indiscriminately
in
every
direction,
and
we
have
been
in
the
process
to
replace
those
and
they
are
being
replaced
with
dark
sky
compliant
fixtures.
Great.
K
So
Kent's
customers
I,
will
focus
on
the
rehabilitation
categories
for
just
a
second
then
move
into
the
progress
we've
been
making
on
capital
projects
as
well
and
you'll.
Note
that,
as
the
director
Wiseman
frame,
we
have
divided
our
rehabilitation
dollars
into
several
categories
so
which
we're
making
significant
improvement.
The
significant
progress
in
expending
the
dollars
and
some
are
taking
longer
in
particular,
because
the
assessment
process
is
taking
us
longer
to
move
through.
So
if
you
look
at
this
chart,
the
Green
is
the
amount
that's
been
budgeted
for
a
particular
year.
K
When
you
look
at
the
categories
relating
to
roofs,
heating,
ventilation,
air
conditioning
systems
and
park
lighting,
we
had
significantly
more
assessment
work
that
needed
to
be
done
and,
as
we
moved
into
each
one
of
those
we're
finding
our,
for
instance,
that
our
recreation
centers
related
to
heating
ventilation,
air
conditioning
that
it
wasn't
so
simple
as
simply
replacing
a
particular
system.
New
systems
require
different
electrical
services.
We
have
systems
that
are
in
ceilings
where,
when
we
start
to
peel
those
off,
we
find
we
have
problematic
environmental
conditions
that
need
to
be
dealt
with.
K
So
we
are
moving
very
directly
through
those
processes
following
up
on
really
detailed
assessments
for
each
category.
I'll
also
note
that,
on
the
operations
facility
category
well,
we
haven't
spent
a
lot
of
money
in
that
category.
In
2017
we
did
open
a
new
service
center
in
North
Minneapolis
at
40
22
and
a
half
Washington,
but
we
had.
We
were
relying
on
past
allocations
from
past
dollars
to
accomplish
that
and
we'll
be
moving
into
other
service
centers.
These
are
our
operational
centers
and
making
improvements
in
2018
and
going
forward.
K
K
We've
actually
made
significant
progress
on
the
remaining
projects
in
2017,
as
we
moved
through
2018
and
as
to
refresh
your
memory
on
this.
As
Julie
said,
we're
going
through
assessments,
we're
picking
off
the
highest
priority
projects
first,
and
we
continue
to
move
through
those
and
will
continue
to
move
through
those
projects
where
the
greatest
need
has
been
identified.
K
This
is
where
we
are,
and
so
this
is
as
of
2000
at
the
end
of
2017,
we
had
made
a
small
amount
of
improve
of
allocation
of
dollars
under
the
ATA
for
2018.
If
we
were
to
give
you
the
mid-year
position
on
this
you'd
see
that
we
were
significantly
into
issues
related
to
heating
ventilation,
air
conditioning
and
the
general
recreation
center
improvements-
and
this
is
this-
is
the
the
outline
of
improvements
of
the
the
more
detailed.
The
enumeration
manager
shows
that
we're
at
zero,
but
that
was
at
1231
2017,
now
we're
midway
through
the
year.
K
We've
actually
made
significant
progress
on
those
project
projects
as
well.
When
we
look
at
how
we
do
capital
improvements,
we
have
a
process
that
typically
takes
us
two
years.
Many
of
you
are
aware
that
we've
been
moving
through
service
area
master
plans
in
different
parts
of
the
city
and
that's
what's
the
master
plan.
Our
first
step
following
the
master
plan,
as
we
move
into
a
park,
is
to
verify
the
specific
improvements
with
the
community.
So
we
have
a
scoping
and
community
engagement
process.
K
We
move
through
then
a
design
process
and
then
implementation
and
we're
finding
that
process
as
it
has
in
the
past,
takes
us
two
years
to
move
through.
We
want
to
make
certain
that
we're,
but
we've
always
been
interested
in
highly
high
engagement
with
the
community.
We
want
to
perpetuate
that,
even
as
we
have
these
funds
to
make
sure
they're
directed
towards
the
improvements
that
the
community
wants
to
see.
K
So
in
2017
we
had
a
little
under
four
billion
dollars
of
our
six
million
dollar
allocation
for
capital
accomplished,
and
it
was
divided
across
a
number
of
projects.
Some
of
the
things
that
become
important
here
is,
if
you
look
on
the
column,
to
the
far
right
of
the
screen.
There
are
several
projects
that
are
in
the
north
service
area
master
plan
where
we're
waiting
for
that
work
to
be
completed,
so
we
can
spend
the
dollars
to
the
needs
across
a
service
area
and
so
we'll
be
moving
through
those
projects.
K
As
we
move
into
2019
and
get
those
projects
completed,
this
list
of
projects
is
generated
from
the
equity
metrics.
That
Jennifer
talked
about
as
we
go
through
every
year.
Reanalyzing,
the
neighborhood
impart
characteristics
and
you'll
see
also
and
based
on
the
the
idea
that
we
have
a
two-year
cycle
to
get
projects
completed,
we're
just
over
a
million
dollars
in
the
dollars
that
have
been
allocated
for
capital
investments
in
2018
and
they
would
be
attributed
to
these
parts.
You
do
know
you
will
note
that
there
are
some
projects
where
we
have
completed
work.
K
M
D
J
J
The
the
good
thing
about
data
is
that
it
sort
of
keeps
us
honest,
I,
think
the
bad
thing
about
using
a
data-driven
approach.
That
way
is
that
it
can
be
missing
contact
and
so
I
think
it's
important
that,
as
we
think
about
the
impact
of
our
sort
of
data-driven
investments
that
we
also
just
make
sure
that
we're
maintaining
parks
in
a
way,
that's
consistent
with
the
context
that
they're
and
and
and
and
I'll
point
out
gateway.
Park
is
maybe
an
example
of
one
that
doesn't
feel
like
it's
getting
that
attention.
I.
Think!
J
It
probably
doesn't
rise
to
the
top
and
it
looks
like
it's
ranked
pretty
low,
but
it's
also
probably
the
park
that's
seen
by
the
most
tourists
as
people
are
going
in
and
out
of
downtown,
it's
sort
of
a
real
entry
point
to
the
downtown
area,
and
it
just
looks
pretty
rundown
right
now.
It
really
last
time
I
went
by
they
hadn't,
even
like
moated
and
a
long
time,
and
it
just
looked
like
nobody
was
taking
care
of
it
at
all.
J
E
Said
we
can
look
at
that?
I
really
wanted
to
make
sure
I'm
in
this
report,
as
you
know
that
we
were
focusing
in
on
neighborhoods
that
often
on
neglected
and
have
been
neglected
in
the
past,
but
at
the
same
time
were
the
number
one
park
system
in
the
country.
So
we
have
to
look
nice
when
the
visitors
come
I
understand.
E
A
You
very
much
any
other
another
discussion.
My
colleague,
let
me
add
a
couple
of
things
as
somebody
who
worked
on
this
MPP
plan
last
term
and
who
insisted
on
having
the
equity
matrix
mm-hmm
that
I
see
a
great
deal
of
difference
in
terms
of
the
investments
and
where
they
go
in
my
ward,
PV
Park
is
getting
a
lot
of
attention
which
it
needs.
Corey
Park
has
some
great
plans
coming
in
matthew's
Park
the
Aquatic
Center
communities
and
has
already
been
completed.
A
So
a
lot
of
things
that
we
were
talking
about
last
time
has
already
been
done.
So
I'm
very
glad
and
I'm
very
happy
that
you
came
and
presented
this
our
first
annual
report
for
twenty
years
and
and
then
and
I'm
I'm
sorry
how
keep
my
thoughts
and
give
it
to
Council
that
we're
cutting
out.
Okay,
thank.
I
You
I
just
wanted
to
actually
sorry
since
it's
the
end
of
our
first
one
I
just
wanted
to
give
a
quick
shout
out
to
the
folks
who
made
this
possible.
So
thank
you
to
my
predecessor.
Come
former
council
president
Park
Johnson
and
former
mayor
Betsy
Hodges,
and
my
colleagues
who,
who
are
still
here
doing
the
work
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
give
praise
where
praise
is
due,
because
that
was
this
was
a
huge
lift
for
folks
in
this
last
term.
E
Absolutely
there
are
certainly
board
members
that
were
present
at
the
park
board
that
are
no
longer
there
that
worked
very,
very
hard
on
this.
The
former
superintendent
Jane
Miller
worked
very
very
hard,
so
we
certainly
want
to
give
credit
where
credit
is
due
and
there's
a
lot
of
credit
to
pass
around.
Okay,
that's.
A
E
What
this
program
did
in
pp20,
which
I
think
is
historic
and
wonderful-
it
looked
like
at
the
infrastructure,
the
building,
the
maintenance
of
our
system.
What
it
did
not
was
not
able
to
do
was
to
deal
with
the
people
side,
the
programs
for
youth,
the
programs
for
our
seniors
pros
for
our
disabled
and
other
individuals,
and
so
that
is
still
a
need
and
we're
looking
at
that,
especially
in
light
of
I.
E
Don't
know
whether
you
saw
the
article
in
the
Star
Tribune
recently
about
after-school
programming
and
how
our
young
people
really
don't
have
that
same
opportunity
that
they
had
in
the
past
and
so
I'm
very
concerned.
As
we
begin
this
summer,
we've
had
a
little
bit
of
a
rough
start
to
our
summer
and
I
think
some
of
it
is
because
perhaps
maybe
we
haven't
invested
in
youth
in
the
same
way
that
we
have
in
the
past.
E
So
we're
going
to
be
looking
at
how
we
can
begin
to
help
that
issue
around
after
it's
in
particular,
after-school
program
and
youth
development
issues
at
the
park
board,
and
certainly
that'll,
be
something
that
you'll
be
hearing
about.
This
time
goes
upon,
goes
on
and
we'll
be
sharing
that
information,
because
I
think
the
park
board
in
those
rec
centers,
because
they're
located
strategically
located
in
every
single
neighborhood,
are
one
of
the
most
cost-effective
ways
and
accessible
ways
to
reach
out
to
young
people
in
our
city.
I
E
Just
as
we
go
through
the
budget
process,
I
don't
know
that
we
were
planning,
but
if
you're
inviting
us
to
come
back
and
we'll
come
back
at
any
time,
we're
happy
to
come
back
and
share
that
data
with
you.
But
as
we
go
through
the
budget
process,
there
will
be
certain
opportunities
for
us
to
share
with
the
mayor,
for
instance,
this
week
and
ultimately
we'll
be
coming
back
to
you
again
at
the
end
of
the
cycle
to
present
our
recommended
budget.
So
great.
I
Thank
you.
This
is
a
huge
concern
as
well
the
programming
aspect.
In
my
ward.
We
have
no
youth
development
centers
only
spaces.
We
have
our
parks,
that's
the
only
space
that
we
have,
and
so
this
is
a
huge
concern.
I
hear
all
the
time
from
constituents.
We
need
more
things
for
our
kids
to
do,
there's
a
lack
of
opportunities
in
my
ward.
You
know
a
lot
of
times
like
when
we
talk
about
youth
development
in
North
Minneapolis.
I
It
gets
pretty
concentrated
around
North,
Commons
and
so
really
wanting
to
make
sure
we're
going
north
of
Lowrey
and
providing
resources
and
then
even
north
of
the
railroad
tracks
to
make
sure
that
all
of
North
Minneapolis
is
getting
access
to
programs,
because
the
further
north
we
go
the
further
removed.
We
are
so
just
wanted
to
throw
that
out
there
and
say.
Thank
you
very
much
and
I
would
like
to
see
them
come
back.
That's
cool
mr.
chair,
thank.
A
I
A
A
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
continue
to
develop
in
it
so
I.
Thank
you
again
for
this
presentation
and
all
the
good
work
that
you're
doing
so.
Thank
you
very
much.
So
any
further
discussions,
any
questions.
Okay,
I,
move
to
receive
and
file
this
item,
all
in
approval,
say
aye,
those
opposed
say.
No
item
has
been
approved
and,
having
concluded
the
business
on
our
agenda
for
today,
we
are
adjourned.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
