The
record
reflect
that
we
have
a
quorum.
We
have
a
couple
of
changes
to
today's
agenda
that
is
before
us.
The
first
I
have
an
amendment
which
is
an
item
that
was
submitted
by
the
city
attorney.
This
would
be
authorizing
the
city
to
join
an
amicus
brief
in
support
of
the
plaintiffs
and
a
lawsuit
pending
before
the
US
Court
of
Appeals
for
the
Ninth
Circuit,
a
copy
of
the
staff
report.
The
RCA
is
at
your
desks
with
additional
information,
and
we
can
see
if
the
city
attorney
would
like
to
answer
questions
about
that
leader.
A
A
A
A
Those
in
favor,
please
say
aye
aye
any
opposed,
and
that
carries
those
referrals
are
made.
The
next
item
on
our
agenda
is
the
reports
of
our
standing
committees.
We
will
begin
with
the
report
of
the
economic
development
and
regulatory
services
committee
presented
by
the
committee
chair,
councilmember
Goodman.
Thank.
F
You,

A

You,
madam
president,
there
are
three
items
before
you
for
approval
today,
all
our
IT
contracts.
The
first
is
an
applicant
tracking
software
increase
to
existing
contract.
The
second
is
software
for
our
public
works
department,
and
the
third
is
for
our
police
department
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
A
B
A
I
You
very
much
president
bender,
the
housing
policy
and
Development
Committee
screening,
for
which
three
things
for
approval
I
think
this
will
take
a
little
more
discussion
than
the
previous
committees
that
we
just
got
the
reports
from,
but
the
first
is
our
2018
consolidated
plan
action
plan.
This
is
the
plan
that
we
submit
annually
to
the
US
Department
of
Housing
and
Urban
Development
regarding
our
Community
Development
Block
Grants,
our
home
investment
partnerships
are
merged
in
solution,
solutions,
grants
and
our
housing
opportunities
for
persons
with
AIDS
program
funding.
I
The
second
item
is
great
river
landing,
affordable
housing,
trust
fund
extension,
and
the
third
item
is
the
2018,
affordable
housing
trust
fund
request
for
proposals.
I
would
like
to
move
items
one
in
two
and
I
would
like
to
move
a
staff
direction
with
item
1.
It
should
be
before
you
it's
at
the
top
of
the
page.
It
says
motion
by
Gordon
and
bender
HPD
number
1.
I
This
would
be
directing
community
planning
and
economic
development
enjoy
government
relations
staff
to
evaluate
and
report
to
the
Housing,
Policy
and
Development
Committee
on
or
before
September
12.
On
potential
amendments
to
the
consolidated
plan.
It
would
include
spending
some
of
the
emergency
solutions
grant
funding
to
support
overnight
emergency
shelter
operations.
The
evaluation
should
can
include
one
standards
for
eligible
shelters
and
if
the
assistance
should
be
targeted
to
a
certain
types
of
shelters
would
be
specific
populations
to
potential
ways.
I
Assisted
shelters
could
meet
the
required
one-to-one
match
three
eligible
uses
or
expenses
for
the
potential
of
linking
operating
funds
to
other
city
priorities
and
five
ways.
The
funding
could
be
allocated.
So
with
that
in
mind,
I'll
move
item
1
with
the
staff
direction
and
and
I'd
like
to
pull
item
3
for
discussion.
Thank.
A
C
B
A
I
With
this
staff
directions
that
are
before
you,
one
of
them
is,
has
the
date
5
11
18
on
the
top,
and
it's
a
motion
by
Cano
and
the
other
one
as
says
HPD
committee
item
number
3
and
it's
a
motion
by
right.
Both
of
these
are
staff
directions.
The
committee
had
a
lot
of
discussion
about
this
and
this
resulted
in
people
following
up
on
that
discussion
and
asking
for
this
work.
I
I'll
read
the
staff
directions
so
that
it's
it's
clear.
The
first
one
is
just
the
motion
by
Cano
is
directing
sea
bed
staff
to
return
to
the
housing
and
policy
development
committee
no
later
than
October
10
2018,
with
a
report
on
the
impact
of
the
Affordable
Housing
Trust
Funds,
request
for
proposals,
program,
policies,
procedures
and
selection
criteria
on
affordable
housing
projects
proposed
for
the
areas
of
our
city,
where
more
than
50%
of
the
population
is
racially
diverse.
I
The
report
should
include
staff
recommendations
on
changes
to
the
2019,
affordable
housing
trust
fund
request
for
proposals
to
alleviate
any
negative
impact
on
affordable
housing
projects
and
affordable
housing.
Investments
in
areas
of
our
city,
where
more
than
50%
of
the
population
is
racially
diverse,
maybe
I'll
just
speak
to
this
slightly.
We
had
a
lot
of
discussion
at
the
committee
about
the
impacts
of
awarding
points
for
affordable
housing
in
concentrated
areas
of
poverty
and
in
unconcentrated
areas
of
poverty
and
I.
Believe,
council
members
who
attended
our
housing
study
session
will
recall.
I
We
also
had
some
discussion
then
about
the
potential
that
some
of
these
decisions
are
leading
to
displacement
in
some
of
the
low
income
areas.
So
this
is
asking
for
a
study
to
look
into
that
and
to
understand
better
what
the
ramifications
are.
I'd,
also
like
to
go
ahead.
If
I
may
and
move
council
member
Reich's
recommendation,
maybe
I'll
foreshadow
what
it's
about
as
well
as
staff
direction.
I
I
This
year
we
were
fortunate
enough
to
actually
have
an
additional
fund,
so
when
people
projects
were
stuck
and
they
needed
a
little
more
money,
we
had
a
reserve
fund
and
a
couple
projects
got
an
award
of
$15,000
more
that's
not
in
the
budget
in
the
future,
but
that
that
proved
to
be
very
critical
for
some
of
those
projects.
That
I
would
say.
The
committee
and
the
council
really
appreciated
so
councilmember
Reich
has
developed
the
staff
direction
to
get
more
information
about
that
to
tee
us
up
for
maybe
making
some
changes
in
2019.
I
A
Right
council
member
Gordon
has
moved
the
item
of
to
two
staff
directions.
We
do
have
an
amendment
myself,
councilmembers
Cano,
Ann,
Ellison,
I,
think
what
I'd
like
to
do
is
see
if
there's
any
discussion
about
either
of
the
two
staff
directions
and
then
take
a
voice
vote
on
those
before
we
return
to
the
underlying
motion
and
amendments.
So
is
there
any
discussion
on
those
staff
directions,
councilmember
Schrader
thank.
K
You,
madam
president,
I'll,
be
supporting
both
of
these
issues.
I
just
want
to
be
cautious.
Whatever
we're
asked
asking
staff
to
work
on
additional
things,
we
already
have
them
working
on
some
very
important
things
to
work
on
for
deprogram
and
other
housing
things.
This
will
just
be
a
titular
playing
I
think
we
just
need
to
be
conscious
of
that.
Thank
you.
A
Is
there
any
further
discussion
on
that
to
staff
directions,
seeing
none
all
an
approval
piece
say:
aye
aye
imposed
those
two
staff
directions
carry,
and
that
brings
us
back
to
the
underlying
item.
So
I
would
like
to
just
offer
and
then
briefly
describe
the
small
amendment
brought
forward
by
myself,
council
members,
Cano
and
Ellison,
and
those
of
you
who
were
at
the
housing
study
session
and
wore
the
HPD
committee.
A
In
fact,
it
still
advantages.
Those
projects
over
those
that
are
100%,
affordable
in
concentrated
areas
of
poverty
and
I
would
also
note
that
again,
this
is
would
be
five
points
out
of
a
total
of
81
and
that,
as
staff
said
at
our
committee
meeting,
the
point
system
is
one
of
many
factors
that
result
in
which
projects
ultimately
get
selected.
The
other
factors
include
project
readiness
and
the
willingness
of
many
partners
to
fund
them.
H
Yeah
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
when
we
look
when
we
think
about
some
of
these
definitions
around
what
a
racially
concentrated
area
looks
like,
the
federal
definition
doesn't
currently
say
that
an
area
that
is
all-white
is
necessarily
racially
concentrated,
but
more.
A
neighborhood
that
is
more
diverse,
does
get
classified
that
way.
We're
dealing
with
an
affordable
housing
crisis
and
we're
also
dealing
with
communities
that
want
to
be
able
to
be
stabilized
in
place
and
I.
H
Think
that,
as
we
figure
out
how
we're
going
to
meet
the
challenge
of
making
more
affordable
housing,
while
also
respecting
our
communities
that
want
to
be
surrounded
by
their
networks
right
by
the
cultural
spaces
that
they
grew
up
in
and
understand
and
I
think
that
we
need
to
put
that
in
consideration
and
not
penalize
projects
that
that
that
would
go
there.
So
this
is
really
an
effort
to
make
sure
that
we
are
doing
everything
we
can
to
stabilize
folks
in
place
and
I.
Think
that's
important.
So
thank
you.
Katsura.
L
L
So
doubling
down
on
creating
jobs
for
communities
and
shirring
that
every
youth
in
a55
407
a
zip
code
and
in
the
zip
codes
that
are
represented
by
other
council
members
in
areas
that
are
high
diversity,
high
culture
and
an
experienced
institutional
racism
at
higher
rates
that
we're
actually
investing
in
strategies
that
will
help
people
leave
the
cycle
of
poverty
and
not
just
move
the
poverty
around
from
one
part
of
our
city
to
another.
Expecting
that
somehow
magically
those
things
will
go
away.
L
So
I
think
we
have
to
double
down
on
our
efforts
to
really
undo
the
negative
legacies
of
institutional
racism
that
push
people
out
of
the
workforce
that
push
people
out
of
the
educational
system
that
push
people
into
the
economy
of
drugs
and
commercial
sexual
exploitation.
To
really
build
those
healthy
communities.
And
so
I
would
love
to
see
us
really
be
able
to
codify
this
direction.
L
Where
we're
saying
we
want
to
see
affordable
housing
in
all
areas
of
our
city,
but
we
as
a
city
will
not
punish
the
areas
that
need
it,
the
most
for
for
for
other
areas
that
don't
need
development
subsidies
as
much
as
the
the
areas
of
our
city
that
are
struggling.
That
we've
invested
in
that
we
know,
are
important
to
continue
to
stabilize
and
continue
to
invest
in,
to
address
the
generations
and
generations
of
disinvestment
and
racial
inequity
that
we
are
now
trying
to
undo.
So.
Thank
you.
Thank.
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I,
hate
to
speak
up
against
eliminating
disparities
and
D
concentrating
poverty,
but
I
going
to,
because
I
think
that
a
very
big
issue
is
being
overlooked
here.
This
is
a
very
small
amendment
that
is
making
a
very
big
point
that
is
moving
us
in
the
wrong
direction
and
I'm
going
to
make
that
case
today.
86
points
is
not
a
lot
of
points
in
a
point
system
and
the
difference
between
projects
going
into
areas
that
are
not
racially
concentrated.
Right
now
is
9,
and
this
amendment
would
give
that
advantage
to
two.
F
If
you
look
at
a
map-
and
we
did
in
committee
of
where
the
projects
funded
by
the
affordable
housing
trust
fund
are
located,
80
percent
75
to
80
percent
are
all
located
in
areas
of
concentrated
poverty.
That
is
from
the
beginning
of
the
time
of
the
trust
fund.
Until
now,
almost
all
of
the
projects
have
gone
into
areas
with
racially
concentrated
areas
of
poverty.
F
So,
to
suggest
that
there
has
been
a
disinvestment
from
the
affordable
housing
trust
fund
into
these
areas
is
patently
false,
and
everyone
on
the
committee
saw
that
by
the
map
that
was
provided
by
staff,
we
have
a
goal
that
says
that
we
want
affordable
housing
in
all
parts
of
the
city.
That
is
the
goal
of
our
affordable
housing
program
and
it's
very
difficult
to
build
housing
in
areas
of
concentrated
wealth.
There
are
all
sorts
of
barriers,
Highland
cost
objection
from
neighborhoods,
often
objections
from
council
members,
where
we
don't
want
to
do
that.
F
This
point
system
gives
a
preference
to
projects
that
are
in
areas
of
non
concentrated
poverty
and,
after
15
years
of
doing
that,
we
still
only
have
20%
of
the
projects
going
into
these
locations.
Eliminating
these
points
virtually
guarantees
that
we
won't
be
building
affordable,
housing
from
the
trust
fund
in
areas
that
are
not
concentrated
with
poverty.
Why
is
this
an
issue?
F
So
we
have
neighborhoods
and
advocates
telling
us
we're
not
doing
a
good
enough
job
to
put
affordable
housing
in
neighborhoods
that
don't
already
have
it,
and
this
is
gutting
the
points
that
give
those
projects
preference
and
even
with
those
points,
it's
still
really
difficult
to
do
that
I'll
note
that
the
staff
do
not
support
these
changes.
The
staff
support
the
changes
that
they
brought
to
us
in
their
staff
recommendation,
and
this
change
was
not
in
that.
F
They
were
approached
by
council
members
who
wanted
to
make
changes,
so
they
drafted
something
tolerable
because
they
knew
something
was
coming,
not
because
it
was
something
that
they
support
because
they're
the
ones
working
on
this
complaint
that's
been
filed
against
us.
That
says
that
we
are
not
firm
for
affirmative
lis.
Furthering
fair
housing
by
concentrating
poverty
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis.
F
I'll
also
note
that
the
affordable
housing
trust
fund
guidelines
go
out
for
a
45
day,
public
review
to
advocates
housing
providers,
neighborhoods
all
sorts
of
interested
parties,
and
we
had
comments,
and
none
of
them
said
gut
the
portion
on
economic
integration.
None
of
them
said
changed
the
points.
This
is
a
major
change
that
has
not
been
vetted
by
the
very
people
that
council
member
Gordon
Watts
to
pull
together
as
an
advisory
committee.
I
want
to
repeat
that
we
are
required
to
go
out
for
public
review.
No
advocates
have
been
contacted,
no
neighborhoods
have
been
contacted.
F
No
housing
providers
have
been
contacted
about
a
change
that
would
basically
say
projects
that
are
in
wealthier
parts
of
town
will
not
get
additional
points.
You
know
what
the
outcome
will
be:
it's
not
a
minor
change.
It's
a
major
change.
I
had
a
long
conversation
yesterday
with
councilmember
Allison
I
do
believe
that
the
city
should
that
City
Council
should
discuss
whether
or
not
we
think
more
resources
from
this
fund
should
go
into
areas
of
racially
concentrated
poverty.
I'm
happy
to
have
that
discussion.
F
I
I
have
been
one
who
has
supported
funding
going
to
every
word
other
than
my
own
for
20
years,
and
there
might
be
arguments
to
be
made
in
order
to
make
that
change.
But
until
we
make
that
policy
change,
which
is
really
what
our
conversation
should
be
about,
the
policy
change
about
where
we
want
fordable
housing,
we
shouldn't
be
changing
tactics
down
the
road
to
effectuate,
a
change
that
we
haven't
made
in
policy.
F
All
of
this
work
over
all
of
this
time
to
put
affordable
housing
in
areas
that
do
not
have
poverty
have
resulted
in
a
very
small
number
of
projects
going
into
areas
that
are
not
already
concentrated
with
poverty.
Going
from
9
points
to
2,
you
call
it
a
penalty
for
projects
and
impacted
areas.
I
would
call
it
an
advantage
to
put
affordable
housing
in
areas
of
town
that
have
good
schools
that
have
good
transportation,
access
that
have
good
racial
integration
and
need
more.
I
I
Think
the
council
in
the
past
was
trying
to
correct
this
and
look
at
the
end.
How
can
we?
How
can
we
make
these
investments
and
in
sight
these
areas
into
what
we're
historically
protected
areas
where
you
weren't
likely
to
find
certain
kinds
of
housing?
Now
we're
bumping
up
against
this
realization
that
maybe
some
of
these
investments
are
actually
due
due
to
forces,
maybe
beyond
our
control
and
the
market,
the
demand
all
the
people
who
want
to
live
in
the
city?
I
So
the
fact
that
they've
come
forward
with
something
they
both
agree
on
and
I,
actually
necessarily
no
and
our
staff
doesn't
actually
imagine
that
this
is
going
to
make
a
dramatic
change
in
and
of
itself.
This
is
a
few
points
of
80
points
of
some
funding
sources,
there's
also
tax
credits
that
are
still
out
there.
I
I
do
want
to,
though,
emphasize
that
there
are
fair
housing,
right
rules,
regulations,
expectations
and
pressures
on
us,
and
so
I
think
it
is
important,
and
we
should
acknowledge
that,
even
in
this
amendment
we
are
giving
some
points
and
a
preference
to
affordable
housing
below
50%
of
ami
in
non
concentrated
areas.
So
it
doesn't
actually
flip
our
policy
on
its
head.
What
it
does
is
it
kind
of
squishes
diminishes
the
impact.
I
It
has
my
brief
exchanges
with
staff
they
feel
like
this
will
probably
have
pretty
small
or
maybe
no
impact
on
the
projects
that
are
coming
forward
with
the
limited
amount
of
money
we
have
this
year.
So,
whereas
I
am
sympathetic
to
councilmember,
Goodman's
insights
and
wisdom,
I
don't
want
to
sound
the
alarm
like
this
is
the
major
reversal
and
in
the
policy
I
think
it's
still
slightly
consistent
with
that.
I
Although
this
certainly
neutralizes
some
of
the
difference,
it
goes
from
a
10-point
or
maybe
it
was
a
nine
point,
maybe
advantage
to
think
about
putting
giving
awards
for
people
who
are
putting
a
affordable
housing
in
non
concentrated
areas
to
I
believe
two
points,
so
it
does
change
it
quite
a
bit,
but
it's
still
there
so
I.
Just
we
can
you
could
we
can
all
think
about
what
the
difference
might
be
on
an
80
point
scale
when
you
stripped
it
from
nine
to
two
point.
Difference
and
I
want
just
be
clear
about.
I
I
It
I'm
really
glad
we
have
those
staff
directions
that
we
passed
and
we're
going
to
take
some
time
and
and
energy
to
get
into
that
I
think
it's
also
really
important
that
we
are
looking
at
the
fair
housing
issues
involved
in
this
thinking
about
the
historical
inequities
in
our
city
and
getting
advice
from
our
community,
our
attorneys
and
others,
as
we
move
forward
and
think
about
what
we
do
further
I
could
also
live
with
waiting
to
make
this
change
until
2019
after
we've
had
that
discussion.
So.
L
You,
madam
president,
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
that
the
the
the
section
where
these
points
live
is
still
very
much
intact
is
still
a
part
of
the
affordable
housing,
trust
fund
guidelines
and
scoring
criteria.
And
we
had
a
conversation
about
whether
or
not
we
needed
to
remove
that
section
all
together
or
to
change
it
to
better
align
with
the
values
and
the
vision
that
we
have
as
a
council
about
how
we
want
to
build
a
city
and
the
type
of
message.
L
We
want
to
send
to
affordable
housing
developers
throughout
a
city
about
where
we're
willing
to
support
or
not
support,
affordable
housing,
so
that
the
economic
integration
component
of
this
conversation
is
still
there.
And
it's
something
that
we
met
with
city
staff.
To
discuss.
And
you
know
there
was
a
meeting
between
myself
councillor
Gordon
councilmember
Ellison,
to
discuss
this
with
staff.
L
So
we
are
very
well-informed
and
in
tune
with
the
implications
of
continuing
to
keep
that
economic
integration
section
in
the
actual
trust
fund,
language
and
and
what
that
brings
in
the
broader
scope
of
the
federal
and
state
conversation
regarding
affordable
housing
dollars
and
in
compliance
with
some
of
those
directives.
I
do
want
to
say
that
we
as
a
council
need
to
be
more
careful
in
how
we
use
the
word
integration.
That
word
carries
a
lot
of
legal
and
historic
definitions
in
a
way
that
society
was
run
and
governed
before
and
I.
L
Think
we
do
a
disservice
to
our
residents
and
to
ourselves
when
we
bring
up
that
bad
term
in
in
a
context
like
this,
because
it
does
not
reflect
what's
actually
happening
in
our
communities.
It
does.
It
does
not
help
us
explain
how
our
communities
function
and
are
regulated
and
are
governed
today,
and
so
I
would
argue
that
the
Ninth
Ward
is
one
of
the
most
racially
integrated
parts
of
the
city.
L
We
have
East
African
families
and
mosques,
and
we
have
little
earth
and
we
have
medicine
THAAD
and
the
Ninth
Ward
is
still
majority
white
community
like.
If
you
look
the
statistics,
it
is
still
award,
that
is
whose
majority
population
is
non
diverse,
racial,
racially
diverse
residents.
So
we
need
to
figure
out
a
way
to
discuss
this
in
a
more
intelligent
way
that
describes
what's
actually
happening
in
our
neighborhoods.
L
The
and
the
aspiration
that
we
see
for
Minneapolis,
so
I
just
wanted
to
put
that
as
a
as
a
sort
of
on
our
radar
that
we
need
to
really
figure
out
how
to
reframe
this
discussion,
because
I
think
we're
misinforming
people
when
we
keep
talking
about
economic
integration
and
racial
integration
and
segregation.
Those
are
very
loaded
terms
that
we
are
using
quite
flippantly
on
this
council.
Msl
have
used
them
because
we
do
have
the
codification
coming
from
the
Met
Council
as
the
racially
concentrated
areas
of
poverty
and
I
give
us
a
challenge.
L
L
So
that's
kind
of
a
side
note
I
do
want
to
say
that
we
do
have
a
conversation
about
inclusionary
zoning
happening
in
our
city
and
that's
another
tool
that
we
can
use
to
support,
affordable
housing
development
happening
in
areas
that
have
more
privilege
that
have
more
resources
that
have
more
access
to
development
dollars
and
and
I
want
us
to
continue
to
have
that
discussion.
I
also
want
to
acknowledge
that
areas
like
councilmember,
Philly,
Cunningham's,
Ward
and
councilmember
Ellison
has
Ward,
and
my
ward
are
areas
that
people
want
to
live
in.
L
L
For
you
we'll
see
that
build
out
to
begin
and
that
that
project
touches
for
awards,
and
so
folks
do
you
want
to
be
in
these
areas
and
and
we
need,
we
have
a
responsibility
to
retain
that
diversity
and
to
stabilize
those
communities
who
are
feeling
the
most
pressure
from
rising
rents
and
from
the
free
market
trends
which
are
doing
very
well
all
over
the
city.
Although
my
area
is
technically
considered
a
racially
concentrated
area
of
poverty,
housing
prices
are
skyrocketing,
market
rate
housing
is
happening.
L
We
don't
need
to
worry
about
the
free
market
and
where
it's
not
functioning
its
functioning
very
well
in
a
lot
of
parts
of
the
city.
Well,
we
need
to
double
on
double
down
on
is
our
affordable
housing
investments
and
instead
of
talking
about
50%
or
60%
ami,
we
should
be
going
down
to
30%
ami
and
talking
about
rent
control
and
talking
about
rent,
stabilization
and
other
ways
to
really
retain
the
folks
who,
right
now
today
are
being
displaced
as
we're
having
this
discussion
so
I'm.
L
Sorry,
if
I
got
a
little
passionate
about
that,
but
I
just
feel
like
there's
just
so
much
that
we
need
to
unpack
and
really
dig
deep
on
I'm,
really
glad
we're
part
of
the
policy
link,
efforts
on
on
housing,
justice
and
I'm.
Glad
for
council,
vice-president
Andrea,
Jenkins
leadership,
leadership
on
that
and
councilmember
Ellison
on
that
I
think
that's
going
to
bring
us
a
lot
of
tools
that
we
need
to
really
elevate.
The
the
true
nature
of
this
conversation
that
I
think
right
now
is
being
overrun
by
by
sort
of
a
mainstream
definition
of
it.
K
You,
madam
chair
I,
want
to
thank
councilmember
Goodman
for
really
taking
us
back
to
the
data.
I
think
that
that,
especially
in
committee
looking
at
the
map
was
really
instructive.
One
one
part
I
do
disagree
on
is
I.
Do
think
this
is
a
policy
change
when
we're
in
committee.
One
thing
councilmember
Cannell
talked
about
was
that
every
point,
matters
and
I
think
that
that's
absolutely
true
here
and
I
also
think
that
this
is
something
that
we
need
to
really
look
at.
How
are
we
using
all
the
tools
that
we
have?
This
is
just
one
part.
K
This
is
just
the
Affordable
Housing
Trust
Fund
I
also
agree
that
the
inclusionary
zoning
might
be
a
better
way
to
address
the
challenges
of
building
in
higher
wealth
areas.
I
absolutely
think
we
need
to
focus
on
putting
affordable
housing
in
all
parts
of
the
city,
but
those
each
area
creates
its
own
challenges
and
I.
Think
for
this
one,
where
we're
getting
federal
dollars,
where
we
have
a
mandate
to
really
help
out
that's
the
best
we
can
I
think
this
is
smart
and
reflects
the
policies
of
the
city
council,
councilmember.
A
H
H
We
can
start
to
assume
that
we
that
we
actually
know
how
to
tackle
this
issue
when
very
smart
people
in
Portland,
very
smart
people
in
Oakland,
very
smart
people
in
San,
Francisco
in
New,
York
and
Boston,
and
other
cities
have
not
been
able
to
solve
this
issue.
The
other
thing
I
wanted
to
say
is
that
you
know
racial
concentration
is
not
what
created
these
disparities.
H
I
think
that
concentrated
and
policy
driven
racism
created
a
lot
of
these
disparities,
which
is
to
say
that
race,
in
and
of
itself,
didn't
create
the
disparities,
but
racism
from
bodies
like
ours
created
these
disparities
and
I
just
want
to
draw
that
line,
because
I
think
it's
important
to
state,
which
is
to
say
that
gentrification
was
created
via
a
thousand
policy
cuts
right
and
I
think
that
gentrification
will
end
up
dying,
a
thousand
cuts
as
well.
This
is
one
of
them
to
echo
what
both
councilmembers,
Cano
and
Schrader
have
stated.
H
The
mayor
is
looking
to
do
something
I
think
you
know
with
a
new
policy
position
on
housing
right.
This
could
be
another
way
that
we
are
making
sure
that
we're
investing
in
communities
inclusionary.
Zoning
is
another
way
we
have
to
be
innovative
and
we
have
to
be
willing
to
try
things
that
we
haven't
tried
before
in
order
to
both
stabilize
communities,
make
sure
we're
making
the
investments
that
we
can
and
maybe,
if
this
point
system
isn't
what
has
been.
H
I
think
that
it's
it
sends
a
statement
that
we
are
not
going
to
do
what
every
other
city
has
done,
which
is
to
slowly
march,
towards
zero
percent
affordability
as
a
Portland
recently
reached,
but
that
we
are
going
to
and
not
be
ambivalent
about
whether
or
not
displacement
and
gentrification
is
happening.
We
know
that
as
council
McConnell
said,
transit
oriented
development
is
is
a
thing
that
exists
right.
H
We
have
huge
transit
lines
coming
through
North
Minneapolis,
potentially
up
to
four
right,
and
so
these
are
so
if
we
invest
in
place
and
if
we
make
sure
that
there's
enough
places
to
to
live
right
now,
we
have
to
do
that
now,
because
once
these
transit
lines
go
up,
one
as
the
price
of
land
goes
up,
that
the
city
as
a
whole
is
going
to
become
wealthier
and
we've
got
to
be
willing
to
do
something
quickly.
I
think
that
this
puts
us
in
a
position
to
invest
and
stabilize
folks
in
place.
G
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
just
to
kind
of
stay
up
on
a
more
superficial
level.
Here,
I
want
to
point
out
how
much
I
greatly
appreciate
all
the
attention
to
this
issue.
I
mean
the
dynamics
here
that
my
fellow
policymakers,
all
of
us
care
a
lot
about
this
issue,
and
you
don't
see
every
city
council
across
the
country
having
these
really
hard
conversations,
often
its
we
have.
Sometimes
you
don't
see
it
at
all.
G
People
aren't
really
willing
to
enter
into
this
this
brave
space
it
I
also
want
to
say,
I,
have
a
lot
of
respect
for
council
president
bender,
who
worked
very
hard
to
find
some
middle
ground
here,
bringing
people
together
on
this
issue.
It
is
really
important.
We
also
have
some
housing
experts
on
the
council.
You
do.
G
We
have
a
standalone,
Housing
Committee
for
the
first
time
in
my
tenure
here
that
helps
to
bring
more
attention
to
this
than
ever,
but
before
we
take
a
step
like
this
I'd
like
to
see
an
analysis
of
the
impact
of
this
change,
because
there
seems
to
be
some
disagreement.
So
that's
where
I'm
at
on
this
issue
right
now,
thanks.
D
A
And
maybe
before
turning
it
over
to
Matt
Siegal
I
can
comment
that
we
work
very
closely
with
the
staff
on
our
housing
section.
That
was
the
author
of
our
furthering
affirmatively
furthering
fair
housing
report,
and
this
is
the
approach
that
our
staff
recommended
taking
in
keeping
with
all
of
the
outcomes
of
that
work,
but
miss
Siegel.
If
you
wanted
to
add
anything
to
that.
M
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
just
wanted
to
kind
of
take
a
step
back
and
look
at
this
from
a
30,000
foot
view,
which
is
what
we're
really
just
discussing
here,
is
a
philosophical
difference
of
a
pathway
to
equity,
one
being
that
economic
integration
of
intentionally
building
mixed
income
neighborhoods
by
intentionally
investing
affordable
housing
in
high-income
areas
is
a
pathway
to
equity,
and
the
thing
is:
is
that
mixed
income
neighborhoods?
Are
you
know
they
are
nobody's
disagreeing
that
they
should
exist?
M
And
so
when
we
talk
about
integration,
racial
integration,
I
think
that's
really
where
our
problem
lies,
because
success
of
a
community,
a
marginalized
community,
should
not
have
to
be
measured
by
proximity
to
whiteness
and
wealth.
In
order
to
for
that
to
be
measured
as
success
when,
when
we
talk
about
there's,
affordable
housing
in
North
Minneapolis
and
that's
a
concentration
of
it,
that
is
a
huge
misperception,
because
actually
there
are
tier
two
and
three
properties
that
are
maybe
two-bedroom
homes
for
rent.
There
are
fifteen
seventy
five,
it
is
not
affordable.
M
People
are
manipulating
section,
eight,
like
there's
all
sorts
of
things
that
are
happening
that
make
North
Minneapolis
not
affordable.
We
do
need
more
affordable
housing
in
North,
Minneapolis,
councilmember,
Ellison,
I.
Think
really,
where
we're
we.
He
spoke
to
this
and
I
think
we're
where
we
really
live
is
in
in
place
geographic
place.
We
want
to
build
a
mixed
named
mixed
income
community
in
North
Minneapolis,
by
building
the
wealth
of
the
folks
that
are
already
there
stabilizing
folks
who
already
live
in
north
Minnie
was
who
are
having
a
hard
time
staying
in
the
community.
M
We
want
to
invest
in
the
place
and
not
just
focusing
on
well
if
we
take
poor
black
folks
from
North
Minneapolis
and
put
them
in
a
higher
income
area,
because
that's
where
they
can
afford,
rather
than
being
able
to
stay
with
our
community
in
North
Minneapolis.
That
is
not
a
measure
of
success
for
our
community.
So
this
is
where
the
philosophical
difference
lies.
I
definitely
am
NOT
going
to
stay
here
and
say
that
we
should
not
be
building
affordable,
housing
everywhere
in
the
city.
M
It
is
a
folks
living
in
poverty
is
not
just
in
North
Minneapolis,
not
just
in
Ward
9,
not
just
in
Ward
6
folks
are
struggling
with
poverty
in
every
area
of
this
city,
so
I
definitely
still
support
that.
But
I
think
that
we
need
to
understand.
This
council
needs
to
understand
that
there's
been
a
philosophical
shift
in
North
Minneapolis
that
we
want
to
invest
in
the
folks
that
are
already
there.
M
We
want
to
stabilize
the
folks
that
are
already
there
when
we
talk
about
building
a
mixed
income
neighborhood,
it's
not
about
taking
the
poor
folks
out
of
our
community,
it's
about
building
wealth
for
them
and
stabilizing
them.
So
I
just
wanted
to
name
that,
because
a
lot
of
this
conversation
is
talking
about
folks
that
live
in
our
community
folks
that
it's
like
well
they'll,
be
better
if
they
are
able
to
afford
to
live
somewhere
in
a
more
integrated
area.
M
So
as
folks
who
are
here
debating
this,
we
need
to
be
heard
that
this
is
the
direction
we
would
like
to
see
for
our
community
to
be
stabilized.
What
has
been
done
is
not
working,
and
so
we
want
to
be
innovative
and
looking
forward,
because
we
here
have
the
opportunity
to
do
it
right
and
honestly
on
our
our
wash
council
member
ellison,
and
I
we're
going
to
do
everything
to
make
sure
that
our
community
is
not
decimated.
For
the
sake
of
the
definition
that
success
is
proximity
to
whiteness
and
wealth.
Or
thank
you
thank.
A
A
This
is
because,
when
I
hear
my
colleagues
who
come
from
and
represent
areas
that
have
been
externally
defined
and
hear
them
saying
that
they
aren't
comfortable
with
the
policy
direction,
that
is
impacting
their
community,
I
am
compelled
to
support
them.
And
what
I
hear
from
our
colleagues
is
that
number
one?
A
We
need
to
stabilize
housing
costs
in
every
area
of
our
city,
including
in
areas
that
have
lower
rents
today
and
higher
rates
of
poverty
and
number
two,
as
a
second
step
dramatically
increase
our
economic
investment
in
those
areas,
and
we've
started
to
do
that
in
small,
simple
ways.
We
started
to
focus
our
infrastructure
spending
through
our
public
works
department
through
erased
equity
lens.
F
Goodman
Thank
You
Madame,
president
I
agree
with
a
lot
of
what
councilmember,
Ellison
and
Cunningham
have
had
to
say
here.
My
objection
is
not
changing
the
policy.
My
objection
is
changing
the
policy
in
the
context
of
a
point
structure.
I
think
we
have
to
have
a
conversation
about
changing
the
policy
and
I
respect
where
they're
coming
from.
F
I,
don't
believe,
I
believe
that
eliminating
points
for
economic
integration
altogether
would
raise
a
red
flag
and
that's
why
they
didn't
do
that,
because
they're
trying
to
pay
the
authors
are
trying
to
protect
us
from
that
and
I
think
that
there
is
intent
in
that
I
appreciate
it,
but
by
going
from
nine
points
to
two,
it
is
effectively
gutting
the
policy
and
I.
Don't
I
think
we
have
to
have
a
conversation
with
the
developers,
the
advocates
the
stakeholders
in
order
to
get
to
that
policy
change
so
that
that
is
my
objection.
F
I'll
also
note:
there
is
a
philosophical
difference
in
approach
and
I.
Don't
think
it's
about
issues
of
integration
or
segregation,
it's
a
question
about
choice
and
that
all
people
of
all
races
and
backgrounds
have
choice
about
where
they
live
and
right
now,
there's
not
a
lot
of
choice
because
there's
not
a
lot
of
affordable
housing
in
in
more
affluent
parts
of
town
and
so
I.
Had
this
conversation
yesterday
and
I
I
don't
mean
to
give
my
example
to
be
equal
to
councilmember
Ellison's
example.
F
But
I
know
that
when
my
forefathers
came
here
and
they're
Jewish,
they
all
chose
to
live
together
in
a
shtetl
in
New
York
and
they
wanted
to
be
together
and
there
is
I
respect
the
fact
that
that
was
their
choice
and
they
had
the
opportunity
to
do
that.
So
I
don't
want
to
get
into
whether
or
not
people
should
be
forced
out
into
the
suburbs.
F
Although
we're
part
of
a
much
broader
conversation,
those
of
you
who
have
been
following
this
for
years
know
that
you
have
kind
of
the
myron
Orfield
way
of
thinking,
which
is
the
city
is
already
concentrated
with
poverty.
You
can't
have
any
more
affordable
housing
in
the
city.
It
needs
to
go
to
the
suburbs.
Then
you
kind
of
have
the
cure.
It
gets
way
of
thinking
which
is
there
should
be
more
affordable
housing
in
the
suburbs,
but
there
should
also
be
more
affordable
housing
in
the
city.
F
The
city's
policy
on
this
is
to
take
ed,
gets
this
point
of
view
and
then
take
a
few
steps
to
the
left.
We
believe
that
we
should
have
more
in
our
city.
We
believe
that
people
should
have
the
choice
about
where
to
live
and
to
live
in
the
city,
and
they
should
have
a
choice
to
live
anywhere
in
the
city.
I
think
this
is
a
good
policy
conversation
to
have,
but
not
in
the
context
of
a
point
system
that
didn't
come
out
of
a
policy
change
that
wasn't
vetted
by
advocates
neighborhoods
builders
of
affordable
housing.
F
That
is
my
concern
that
this
this
is
a
major
policy
change.
It
might
be
well
do,
but
not
in
this
context
and
I
think
that
we
should
have
this
conversation
and
it
sounds
like
we
are,
but
we
need
to
have
it
with
our
staff
with
data
I'll
go
all
the
way.
Back
to
the
very
first
thing,
I
said:
look
at
the
map.
F
Statistics
don't
lie
almost
all
of
the
affordable
housing.
That's
been
built
in
the
city
in
the
past.
15
years
has
been
built
in
concentrated
areas
of
poverty,
I'm,
not
saying
race,
I'm,
saying
poverty.
That
is
a
fact
there
is
overlap,
and
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
give
a
few
projects
a
chance
to
move
into
other
parts
of
town,
so
that
people
who
want
to
live
wherever
they
want
will
actually
have
a
real.
F
That's
what
our
whole
section,
eight
anti-discrimination,
ordinance
that
I
co-authored
was
about
making
sure
that
people
with
vouchers
have
choices
to
live
anywhere.
They
want
in
the
city
and
I,
don't
like
I,
said:
I,
don't
object
to
an
eventual
change.
I
object
to
doing
it
in
under
the
guise
of
a
minor
change
that
involves
points.
N
Thank
You
president
bender,
so
this
is
a
great
conversation
and
it's
one
that
I've
been
wrestling
with
I
represent.
One
of
the
wards
that
will
have
a
harder
time
will
be
disadvantaged
in
the
point
system
in
the
affordable
housing,
trust
fund
and
I'm
going
to
be
voting
in
support
of
this
and
I
want
to
kind
of
talk
a
little
bit
about
why
we,
as
some
of
my
colleagues
have
rightly
pointed
out,
there
are
other
mechanisms
for
getting
affordable
housing
built
inclusionary.
N
If
we're
looking
at
sort
of
how
that
works,
just
doesn't
actually
meet
the
criteria
so
they're
looking
a
lytec
they're
looking
at
other
kinds
of
criteria,
and
so
we're
getting
these
projects
built
they're
not
coming
out
of
the
affordable
housing
trust
fund.
What
it
feels
like
to
me
is
that
the
affordable
housing
trust
fund
is
probably
the
place
that
the
council
has
the
most
ability
to
really
shape
policy,
because
so
much
of
this
other
stuff
is
sort
of
shaped
by
federal
and
I.
N
What
we're
hearing
from
the
representatives
of
communities
of
color
on
this
Dyess,
the
gentrification
is
really
the
danger
and
the
thing
that
we
need
to
be
responding
to
that
there
is
a
need
to
stabilize
communities
so
that
people
can
stay
where
they
are
and
we're
hearing
that
loud
and
clear
and
I
think
using
the
affordable
housing
trust
fund
it
now
and
knowing
that
there
are
a
lot
of
other
tools,
knowing
that
this
is
actually
in
many
ways
not
going
to
resolve
the
question
about.
Do
you
build
affordable
housing
and
there
is
a
concentrated
wealth?
N
Do
you
build
affordable
housing
in
areas
of
concentrated
poverty?
The
answer
to
both
of
those
questions
is
yes.
Yes,
we
do,
but
we
need
to
build
affordable,
housing
everywhere,
there's
a
question
about
which
tools
do
we
use
and
how
do
we
use
them
and
I
think
signaling
to
everybody
signaling
to
staffs
they're,
going
to
the
city
signaling
to
developers
that
that
this
is
the
policy
direction
where
this
council
is
going
to
to
invest
in
stabilizing
communities
that
are
at
risk
of
gentrification
that
are
at
risk
of
displacement.
N
That
saw
a
lot
of
turnover
of
ownership
and
of
community
wealth
in
the
foreclosure
crisis
and
are
seeing
the
ongoing
results
of
that
I
think
makes
a
lot
of
sense,
so
I'm
happy
to
support
this
I
really
appreciate
this
conversation
and
and
the
work
that
everybody's
put
into
it.
Really
thinking
about
this
Thank
You
councilmember.
E
E
I've
got
this
language
about
this
amendment
minutes
before
this
council
meeting
I
was
told
that
folks
work
I'm
around
briefing
yesterday
around
this.
When
people
have
my
cell
phone
number
and
I
didn't
get
a
call
about
it
and
was
in
meetings
yesterday.
So
this
is
really
I've
only
had
a
few
minutes
before
the
council
meeting
to
digest
this,
and
it
involves
millions
and
millions
and
millions
of
dollars
in
decisions
being
made
and
I
want
an
opportunity
to
talk
with
staff
about
this
I
want
to
hear
from
the
affordable
housing
community
I
just
think.
E
We
owe
it
to
the
public
to
have
transparency
around
these
decisions
and
a
half
thorough
discussion
and
I
feel
like
we've,
had
thorough
discussion
up
here,
but
we
have
them
a
very
missing
holistic
voice
on
this
issue
in
perspective
because
it
has
been
brought
up
so
last
minute.
I,
frankly,
I
think
we
can
do
better
and
I
just
wanted
to
point
that
out
and
that's
agnostic
of
you
know
these
points
or
against
this
I
think
it's
been
a
I've
been
impressed
by
my
colleagues
arguments
today
on
this.
E
By
just
wish,
we
had
more
transparency
inability
to
do
our
due
diligence
on
this
because,
frankly,
as
a
policymaker,
I
feel
like
I'm
now
in
a
position
where
I
don't
have
complete
information,
or
at
least
as
much
information
as
one
could
reasonably
get
if
they
just
had
a
few
extra
days
on
something
like
this,
and
that's
all
I
wish
that
I
had
when
making
this
decision.
Thank
you
thank.
H
I
just
wanted
to
make
the
point
that
that
that,
when
we're
talking
about
poor
communities,
that
poor
communities
will
begin
to
thrive
and
do
better
when
we
start
investing
in
them,
not
necessarily
via
osmosis
by
living
in
wealthier
communities
and
I,
just
wanted
to
highlight
that-
and
that
has
been
said
with
my
colleagues
a
few
times.
But
I
wanted
to
state
that,
because
people
should
have
a
choice
in
where
they
live.
H
But
I
don't
want
us
to
conflate
that,
with
a
wealth
building
strategy
that
giving
folks
choice
in
where
they
live
is
not
necessarily
a
wealth
building,
not
necessarily
a
wealth
building
strategy
and
what
we
need
to
also
be
invested
in
when
it
comes
to
poor
communities
is
making
is
stabilizing
folks
so
that
they
can,
because
otherwise,
with
the
direction
that
we're
going
in,
we
won't
have
a.
We
won't
have
any
poor
communities
in
our
city
to
to
work
with
to
help
them
build
wealth.
H
We're
going
to
have
folks
like
in
other
cities
being
displaced
into
our
entering
suburbs.
You
know
which
is
already
happening.
You
know
you
go
to
places
like
Brooklyn
Center
and
it's
it's
basically
north
Minneapolis.
Right
and,
and
so
this
is
about
stabilizing
folks
in
place,
so
that
we
can
have
a
chance
at
addressing
the
community's
need
poor
communities
needs
and
and
helping
our
communities
build
wealth.
So
just
wanted
to
say
that.
K
You,
madam
president,
I've
I'll,
be
brief.
Councillor
Ellison
had
a
lot
of
points.
I
want
to
get
and
I
I.
Really.
The
main
point
is
that
we're
we're
talking
about
how
the
great
this
conversation
is
about
housing
and
I
want
to
point
out
that
it
has
to
be.
It
isn't
exciting
in
wonderful
that
we're
having
this.
We
we
have
been
neglected
our
housing
for
years
and
for
decades,
and
we
need
to
do
something
now
and
for
me
what
I?
As
we
talk
about
this,
we
have
limited
resources.
K
So,
as
we
I
don't
say
lightly
that
we
should
use
other
tools,
I
say
that
in
the
context
of
we've
very
limited
dollars-
and
we
have
to
be
very
thoughtful
about
where
communities
that
have
a
lot
more
opportunities-
a
lot
more
wealth,
a
lot
more
market
advantages.
How
do
we
use
that
and
build
more
affordable
housing
compared
to
other
places
that
are
being
overlooked
in
not
served
by
the
market?.
A
G
G
A
A
B
A
Carries
and
that
completes
the
HPG
committee
reports
and
I
just
want
to
thank
my
colleagues
again
for
such
a
thoughtful
discussion.
I
know
we
took
quite
a
lot
of
time
on
that
and
I
know
that
is
the
beginning
of
a
long
conversation
will
continue
to
have
about
housing,
affordability
and
all
the
other
issues
that
came
up
next.
We
have
the
public
health,
environment,
civil
rights
and
engagement
committee,
and
the
report
will
be
given
by
the
committee
chair,
councilmember
Cunningham.
Thank.
M
You,
madam
president,
the
public
health,
environment,
civil
rights
and
engagement
committee
brings
forward
six
items
today.
The
first
is
a
grant
from
the
Minnesota
Department
of
Human
Services
for
non-enforcement
tobacco
compliance
checks.
The
second
is
a
grant
from
Minnesota
Department
of
Health
for
home
visiting
services.
M
The
third
is
a
data
use
agreement
with
Hennepin
County
for
health
data,
for
is
a
cost-sharing
agreement
for
expansion
of
green
initiatives,
cost
share
program
and
agreement
template
modifications.
Five
is
a
technical
amendment
to
have
previously
passed
act.
The
council
action
and
six
is
the
2018
urban
scholars
program,
funding
from
partner
organizations,
I
move
approval
of
these
six
items,
councilmember.
A
C
A
There
are
13
eyes
that
carries
when
a
report
is
adopted.
Next
we
have
the
report
of
the
Transportation
and
Public
Works
Committee,
given
by
the
chair,
councilmember
Reich
I'll.
Just
note
that
after
the
normal
committee
report,
we
do
have
an
additional
item
regarding
ductless
bicycle
sharing
and
we're
joined
by
our
public
or
extractor
to
help
us
out
with
that.
But
I'll
turn
you
over
to
council
member
right
for
the
report.
First,
thank.
O
You,

A
B
A
B
A
O
Think
about
a
president,
the
transportation
Public
Works
Committee
did
have
an
item
on
its
agenda.
That
does
not
appear
today
in
the
report,
and
that
item
relates
to
the
proposed
pilot
of
dr.
Schweitzer
Sharon.
The
committee
acted
favorably
on
that
proposal.
It
forwarded
to
the
Ways
and
Means
Committee,
but
apparently
it
did
not
make
it
to
the
Ways
and
Means
Committee
and
therefore
did
not
get
submitted
to
the
full
council.
Today.
There
are
some
time
sensitivity
in
launching
this
pilot
program,
so
I'm
hoping
we
can
expedite
it
through
this
additional
process.
Okay,.
B
B
It
did
not
appear
on
the
Ways
and
Means
agenda,
so
that
error
means
that
the
item
remains
in
the
committee
and
tell
the
committee
forwards
its
actions
under
the
council
rules
unless
under
Rule
6
section
5,
the
council
doesn't
approve
a
motion
on
a
2/3
vote
to
discharge
the
committee
to
bring
that
matter
to
this
body.
Today,
Thank.
P
Remember
vendor,
and
members
of
the
committee
thinks
for
a
moment
to
give
a
very
brief
overview
of
the
item.
Many
of
you
are
aware
of
this
item,
especially
if
you
are
a
part
of
the
transportation
Public
Works
Committee.
We
brought
forward
to
the
Transportation
and
Public
Works
Committee,
an
item
that
authorizes
Public
Works
to
modify,
amend
an
agreement
that
exists
today
with
nice
ride
that
enables
them
to
subcontract
with
atlas
bike
share
provider.
P
This
was
viewed
upon
favorably
by
the
committee,
because
not
only
does
it
allow
us
to
act
proactively,
there
are
terms
within
this
amendment
that
allow
us
to
reach
some
of
our
goals:
providing
equitable
distribution
of
bikes,
high-quality
bikes
data
privacy,
as
well
as
data
access,
so
I'm
asking
for
consideration
today.
Dhokla
spikes
are.
P
A
Q
D
P
Council
president
bender
and
vice
council
president
Jenkins
got
a
right.
That's
a
question
that
has
been
asked
to
us
before
the
entire
industry
is
changing
in
bike
sharing.
The
bicycle
is
found
located
by
a
mobile
device.
It
is
unlocked
by
a
mobile
device
and
when
it's
returned
that
mobile
device
is
what
confirms
the
return
today,
a
bicycle
is
checked
out
by
a
credit
card.
We
know
that
we
have
challenges
to
access
today
that
challenges
those
who
do
not
have
a
credit
card.
In
this
instance,
it
may
be
those
who
do
not
have
a
phone.
I
So
I
I
I
really
appreciated
that
and
I'm
counting
on
it
to
be
a
reality
when
they
come
out
because
I
do
think
we
need
alternatives
to
the
yeah
smartphone
and
the
system
that
we're
developing
also
means
that
the
docking
stations
are
going
to
be
a
known
entity.
So
there
could
potentially
be
maps
all
over
where
you
could
find
is
where
the
other
docking
stations
are
too
and
not
all
over
I'm,
not
a
litter
problem.
I'm
not,
but.
O
You,
madam
president,
and
on
behalf
of
the
tpw
committee,
I'm
happy
to
move
this
item
and
will
note
my
appreciation
for
the
extraordinary
parliamentary
maneuverings
that
we
had
to
do
to
get
this
moved
forward
and
and
the
accommodation
of
the
chair
of
ways
and
means.
I
also
know
that
time
timeliness
was
important.
We
wanted
to
get
this
moving
in
the
summer
months
for
residents
to
try
this
out
as
a
pilot,
knowing
that
there
are
incredible
changes
that
we
wanted
to
be
ahead
of
as
a
city
to
get
the
maximum
benefit
from
this
new.
O
A
A
How
many
there
are
and
where
they're
located
in
our
public
right-of-way
and
again.
Those
are
that's
really
not
the
case
and
a
lot
of
the
other
cities
that
we
see
experiencing
this
and
so
I
just
want
to
thank
nice
ride
for
all
of
your
leadership
over.
So
many
years
you're
one
of
the
first
organizations
in
the
country
to
roll
out
doct
bike
sharing.
A
You
have
been
an
innovator
and
a
leader
in
so
many
ways,
including
making
sure
that
the
public
has
access
to
data
which
helps
us
plan
for
our
transportation
system
overall
and
do
a
better
job
of
providing
bicycle
sharing
across
across
our
city
and
I'm
really
excited
to
see
how
this
goes
and
how
it
works.
I
think
again,
the
contract
allows
us
to
continue
to
continue
to
improve
over
time
with
our
partners.
A
So
with
that
I'll
see,
if
there's
any
other
discussion,
seeing
none
all
an
approval
piece
say:
aye
aye,
any
opposed
that
carries
and
the
pilot
program
contract
is
approved.
Thank
you
so
much
structure
as
well
for
being
here.
That
brings
us
to
the
final
or
no
second
to
final
always
forget:
Sounion,
planning,
final
Ways
and
Means
Committee

we're

thank.

Q
A
M
You,
madam
president,
I
wanted
to
take
a
moment
to
speak,
to
item
number
seven
so
about
the
director
of
strategic
partnerships
position.
So
first
I
want
to
preface
with
saying
that
this
is
the
apprehension
and
concerns
are
not
out
of
disrespect
to
the
mayor.
It's
really
coming.
They
are
coming
from
a
place
of
a
commitment
to
fiscal
responsibility
and
good
transparent
governing
so
from
a
place
of
physical
responsibility.
M
We
talked
there's
been
a
lot
of
talk
about
the
two
positions
that
were
added
in
the
previous
mayor's
administration
and
where
did
that
additional
capacity
go
and
I
I
was
I
was
one
of
the
first
eleven
positions
and
then
they
added
the
additional
two
to
add
out
priorities
for
early
childhood
education
and
early
childhood
development,
as
well
as
sustainability,
because
those
were
two
priorities
to
the
previous
mayor.
What
has
done
what
has
been
done
in
this
administration?
Is
that
those
two
positions,
the
policy
areas-
have
been
condensed
so,
for
example,
a
policy.
M
It
has
three:
the
child
early
childhood
development,
youth
in
education
and
public
policy
or
Public
Safety.
Those
two
positions
were
repurposed
to
be
assistant
positions
to
the
leaders
of
the
administration,
so
to
build
that
capacity
for
the
leadership.
It's
a
bit
of
a
false
equivalency,
though
I,
to
compare
the
two
previous
policy
positions
in
the
previous
administration
to
this
position,
because
there
are
they're,
not
the
same
function,
and
that
really
gets
me
then,
to
the
the
good
and
transparent
governing
I'm
really
concerned
by
the
lack
of
structure
and
the
job
description
for
this
position.
M
I've
also
mentioned
before
publicly
my
concern
about
the
fact
that
this
position
is
earmarked
for
a
particular
person.
The
lack
of
transparency
and
a
search
is
very
concerning
for
me,
and
then
the
third
big
component
is
a
lack
of
legislative
oversight
and
the
reason
why
I
feel
legislative
oversight
is
particularly
important
in
this
position
is
because
we
are
talking
about
a
new
model
of
fundraising.
We
are
looking
at.
M
M
This
position
needs
to
be
aligned
with
that
and
also
there
is
a
perception
like
ethical
perception
issue
here,
because
if
we
have
a
fundraising
position
in
an
elected
office,
there
is
a
tremendous
lack
of
transparency
in
that,
and
so
I
have
some
serious
concerns
about
the
perception
of
the
ethics
of
this
role
and
so,
but
really
what
what
I?
What
I
would
like
to
see
is
for
us
to
take
a
step
back
and
have
a
conversation
about.
M
M
We
haven't
had
that
opportunity
to
have
that
conversation
which
I,
which
was
something
that
was
mentioned
on
Wednesday.
A
committee
of
the
whole
was
that
there
was
a
not
a
lot
of
time
to
be
able
to
actually
like
dig
into
it,
but
really
we
are
talking
about
building
an
entirely
new
model
of
fundraising
for
the
city,
and
we
have
to
be
intentional
about
that
with
that
I
would
actually
I
would
like
to
make
a
motion
to
move
this
agenda
item.
Refer
it
to
the
housing
policy
and
Development
Committee
for
further
consideration.
A
E
You,
madam
chair,
we
had
this
go
through
Ways
and
Means
Committee
already
we
had
a
thorough
discussion
on
this
at
committee.
At
the
whole,
it's
been
a
fairly
transparent
process,
especially
considered
with
the
motion
that
we
took
previously
that
just
came
up
today.
So
I
would
urge
my
colleagues
to
vote
no
on
this
motion
and
to
approve
this
item
today.
K
You,
madam
chair
I,
shared
a
lot
of
the
same
concerns
as
councilmember
Cunningham
I
was
able
to
talk
to
the
mayor
and
had
a
lot
of
those
taken
out.
I
would
if
that
hasn't
happened
for
other
council
members.
I
would
support
putting
this
to
the
Housing
Committee,
but
I've
got
some
very
good
answers.
It
would
be
supportive,
I.
A
A
Maybe
postpone
one
cycle
about
this
decision
just
so,
every
councilor
gets
a
chance
to
have
that
kind
of
one-on-one
discussion
with
the
mayor
and
make
sure
all
those
answers
questions
are
answered.
It
sounds
like
maybe
that
I
shall
have
I
did
talk
to
the
mayor
very
briefly
yesterday,
but
I
was
at
the
Capitol
most
of
the
day.
A
I
do
have
a
couple
other
questions
mostly
related
to
the,
but
it's
at
such
a
high
step,
which
is
kind
of
the
range
of
our
department
directors,
the
small
question,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day
this
position
would
just
be
in
the
mayor's
office
in
the
mayor
could
direct
the
staff
to
do
whatever
they.
You
want
just
like
his
other
staff,
so
anyway,
I
think
comer,
Cunningham,
I,
think
just
in
keeping
with
the
kind
of
discussion
that
we
had
a
cow
I
might
make
a
substitute
motion
to
just
delay.
A
This
one
cycle
just
give
a
little
more
time
for
a
discussion
and
make
sure
that
everyone
has
a
chance
to
have
their
conversations
with
the
mayor
so
that
we
feel
good
about
the
decision
going
forward.
Is
there
any
discussion
on
that
substitute
motion,
seeing
none
all
an
approval,
please
say
aye?
Oh
that's.
A
I
A
I
I'm
a
lot
of
concerns
about
adding
a
really
high
cost
position
into
the
mayor's
office
to
do
something
we're
not
sure
what
they're
actually
going
to
do,
and
it
sounds
like
maybe
it's
more
appropriate
work
that
would
be
done
and
see
better
in
the
city
coordinators
office
anyway,
and
then
the
council
would
actually
have
an
opportunity
to
influence
that
so
I'm,
not
surprisingly,
maybe
I'm
interested
in
getting
to
hear
more
about
it
as
chair
of
the
housing
and
policy
and
Development
Committee.
If
this
is
all
about
housing
development.
I
A
A
A
Seeing
none
approval,
please
say
aye
any
opposed
hey.
That
motion
fails.
That
brings
us
back
to
the
original
Ways
and
Means
Committee
reports,
which
was
moved
by
a
council
member
of
our
Sami.
Is
there
any
more
discussion
on
the
Ways
and
Means
report
seeing
I'm
clerk?
Please
call
the
roll
councilmember.
D
J
B
A
K
Not
last
in
case
the
zoning
a
planning
committee
brings
forward
to
six
items
today
for
your
consideration.
Number
one
is
the
appeals
of
the
Planning
Commission's
decision
to
appeal.
The
conditional
use
permit
two
variances
in
a
site
plan
review
for
Jackson
loss
project
located
at
750
750
for
756
Jackson
Street
northeast.
K
The
committee
recommended
the
denial
of
two
appeals
and
is
sending
the
remaining
two
appeals
forward
without
any
recommendation
item
two
is
the
approving
of
the
adequacy
of
the
environmental
assessment
worksheet
for
the
proposed
Calhoun
towers
development
located
at
a
30
for
30
list
place,
approving
the
determination
that
our
environmental
impact
statement
is
not
required
and
adopting
the
staff
findings.
Item
3
is
the
approving
of
the
adequacy
of
the
environmental
assessment
worksheet
for
the
proposed
Malcolm
Yards
mixed-use
residential
development,
proving
the
determination
and
environmental
intact
statement
is
not
required
and
adopting
the
staff
findings.
A
J
B
A
K
N
That
includes
both
a
set
of
concerns
around
some
of
the
tensions
around
development
and
also
a
real
expression
of
a
desire
from
renters
in
the
st.
Anthony
neighborhood
to
have
more
housing
options.
I
think
the
right
thing
to
do
is
to
deny
this
appeal
and
I
know
that
there's
there's
no
outcome.
That's
going
to
make
everybody
happy,
but
I
am
going
to
go
ahead
and
move
that
we
deny
the
appeal.
A
B
A
Carries
when
the
zoning
and
planning
report
is
adopted
next
order
of
business
is
a
notice
of
ordinance
introductions.
This
morning,
come
from
over
Schrader
gives
notice
of
intent
to
introduce
at
the
next
regular
meeting
of
the
City
Council
the

of
an
ordinance
amending
the
code
pertaining
to
licenses
and
business
regulations
related
to
authorized
places
of
sale
and
license
requirements.
That
notice
is
given.
We
have
two
items
on
the
introduction
and
referral
calendar
today.
A
The
first
is
a
motion
by
councilmember
Johnson
pursuant
to
notice
to
introduce
the
subject
matter
of
an
ordinance
amending
the
code
related
to
air
pollution
and
environmental
protection
related
to
nuisance
odor
and
referring
it
to
the
public
health,
environment,
civil
rights
and
engagement
committee.
The
second
is
a
motion
by
councilmember
Warsaw
me,
pursuant
to
notice
to
introduce
the
subject
matter
of
an
ordinance
amending
the
city
charter,
to
increase
debt
limits
on
borrowing
for
capital
expenditures
and
referring
that
matter
to
the
intergovernmental
relations
committee.
Are
there
any
questions
or
comments
from
Council
members?
A
Seeing
none
on
approval,
please
say:
aye
aye,
any
opposed
that
carries
in
both
of
the
ordinances
are
referred
to
the
appropriate
committees.
Okay,
so
we
have
now
the
new
order
of
business
to
the
item
that
was
added
to
the
amended
agenda.
This
is
a
request
from
the
city
attorney
to
join
an
amicus
brief,
as
explained
in
the
RCA
to
Dusk's
they'll.
Ask
the
city
attorney
to
offer
a
very
brief
explanation.
J
Thank
you,
madam
chair
earlier
this
year
the
federal
government's
lack
to
implement
I
knew
what
they
call
religious
and
moral
exemption
to
the
contraceptive
coverage
mandate
under
the
Affordable
Care
Act,
that
there
are
a
number
of
states,
California,
Delaware,
Virginia,
Maryland,
etc,
that
sued
over
this
and
at
the
district
court
level.
There's
a
preliminary
injunction
in
place.
A
A
L
You,
madam
president,
I
just
wanted
to
invite
everyone
to
join
us
this
weekend,
Saturday
and
Sunday.
The
bike
hub,
co-op
and
Moon
Palace
books
are
having
their
block
party
and
they're
going
to
do
a
celebration
of
the
investment
work
that
they've
been
doing
in
that
area
for
rethinking
the
economic
strategies
that
neighborhoods
can
take
on
by
doing
worker
coops
and
doing
community
centers
with
bookstores
and
local
artists.
So
it's
going
to
be
a
day-long
celebration
from
about
10
a.m.
to
6
p.m.

There's
gonna
be
lots
of
stuff,
so
this
is
part
of
the
downtown
Longfellow
initiative,
and
so,
if
folks
haven't
gotten
a
chance
to
get
out
to
the
Longfellow
area,
they
consider
themselves
up
downtown,
Longfellow
and
I,
think
it
be
really
fun
and
the
weather
seems
like
it's
going
to
be
great,
so
it'll
be
on
Minnehaha
and
Lake.
Street
and
it'll
be
70
degrees
on
Saturday,
so
I
hope
to
see
you
there.
Thank.
