A

A

gene.
Renewing
the
director
of
government
relations.
Today
we
will
do
a
presentation
is
going
to
be
a
team
effort.
Allyson
se
and
Parker
Benin
will
join
me
and
we
will
have
to
take
breaks
different
topics.
If
you
please

If
you
have
any
questions
or
would
you
prefer
at
the
end
accepted
committee,
perfect.
A
D
The
first
slide
talks
about
where
we
are
the
summary
the
third
deadline
was
last
week
and
that
meant
that
all
bills
had
to
be
either
in
finance
or
Ways
and
Means.
Some
all
the
budget
bills
had
to
be
either
on
the
floor
in
ways,
and
these
are
in
in
in
the
budget
or
Finance
Committee
in
the
Senate.
The
tax
bills
have
a
little
of
an
exemption.
D
They
can
come
a
little
later
and
the
bonding
bill
can
come
a
little
later,
but
in
the
house,
all
of
those
bills
met
the
deadline
of
last
week
in
the
Senate
there's
a
few
more
to
come,
taxes
will
come
next
week
and
the
bonding
bill
were
not
sure
when
it'll
become
there.
You
have
not
yet
ahead
of
many
hearings
on
a
2019
bill
or
a
2020
bill,
a
in
addition
to
the
actives
for
only
four
weeks
left
and
we're
going
to
they're
going
to
come
back
next
week.
D
Next
Tuesday
and
our
constitutional
determined
date
is
May
20th
and
for
folks
who
follow
the
legislature,
who
are
lobbyists
having
a
constitutional
adjournment.
Dave
is
wonderful.
However,
there
could
be
a
special
session
and
Monsignor
is
going
to
be
one,
but
historically,
we've
had
a
few
in
the
last
couple
of
years.
D
One
of
the
things
that
needs
to
be
done,
so
we
can
finish
the
session.
It's
agree
on
targets
the
governor
and
the
leadership
will
need
to
agree
on
how
much
money
to
spend
in
all
of
the
different
policy
and
finance
bills,
and
I
at
least
was
recommended
by
leadership,
but
not
put
into
a
rule,
but
more
of
a
recommendation
to
have
all
that
done
by
May,
6th
and
we'll
see
what
how
that
goes.
D
The
chart
in
front
of
you
really
talks
about
where
all
the
bills
are.
As
you
can
see,
many
of
them
are
either
in
finance
or
are
going
to
go
to
the
floor
next
week.
The
jobs
bill,
which
is
representative
Mahoney's
bill
and
Senator
Pratt's
bill
Alison,
will
talk
about.
There
are
some
things
in
there
that
impact
us,
and
there
are
some
preemptions
in
there.
Health
and
Human
Services
has
some
things
to
deal
with.
Public
Health
state
government
we'll
talk
about
some
of
the
pension
issues
in
the
energy.
D
There
are
some
things
we're
working
on
with
our
sustainability,
folks,
Natural,
Resources
and
environment.
There
are
some
things
that
affect
us
with
in
terms
of
pesticides
and
bees,
transportation,
I,
don't
know
almost
everything
impacts
us
all
the
way
from
transit
to
bridges,
highways
to
how
to
raise
the
money
and
several
policy
issues.
Housing
is
another
big
issue.
It's
also
not
only
in
a
separate
bill.
It's
also
in
the
bonding
bills
and
discussions
their
taxes
and
capital
investment.
D
Some
of
the
committees
aren't
going
to
be
that
easy
to
follow
or
they're
going
to
have
to
get
together
soon,
because
the
house
has
a
public
safety,
finance
and
policy
committee
and
a
public
state
and
a
judiciary
committee,
while
the
Senate
has
one
committee,
so
those
folks
will
get
together
and
there's
an
awful
lot
of
policy
in
the
House
bill,
particularly
in
the
area
of
felons
being
able
to
vote,
gun,
control
and
many
sort
of
hot
topics.
The
hospice
Senate
bills
on
the
floor
and
the
House
bill
is
in
Ways
and
Means.
D
There
are
several
items
in
this
bill
going
to
impact
the
city
LGA
in
the
House
bill
is
increased
by
thirty
point:
six
million
dollars
of
that
it's
distributed
by
a
formula
and
it's
the
current
formula,
and
there
may
be
some
work
in
the
future
about
on
the
formula.
But
right
now
the
money's
being
distributed
by
the
current
formula.
We
will
wind
up
with
around
two
point:
six:
seven
million
dollar
increase
over
2019
if
this
bills
remains
intact,
so
the
LGA
increase
will
be
about
two
point:
six,
seven,
that's
a
little
less
than
in
the
past.
D
One
of
the
things
that
drives
the
formula
is
your
tax
base
and
our
tax
base
is
growing,
so
our
value
per
cap,
our
values,
are
driving
the
formula
and
closing
our
need
factor.
Other
things
in
the
bill.
The
lodging
tax,
which
has
a
cap
on,
is
saying
that
in
our
city,
if
you
go
have
a
stay
at
a
hotel,
then
lodging
tax
can
be
no
more
than
13
percent.
That's
state
Metro,
County
city
taxes;
altogether
it
has
been
as
high
as
3%
in
our
city,
meaning
our
own
local
lodging
tax.
D
But
every
time
someone
goes
higher
like
the
county
at
one
time
in
the
state,
with
the
legacy
amendment,
our
tax
went
down,
our
tax
rate
went
down
and
our
revenue
went
down
right
now,
it's
at
two
point
to
one
to
two
point:
one
two
percent
this
bill
in
the
house
would
allow
City
Council
to
raise
it
up
again.
I
have
with
a
cap
of
three
percent
and
there
would
be
no
limit
all
in
terms
of
the
thirteen
percent.
Another
issue
is
an
awful
Ida.
D
The
upper
harbour
terminal
tax
increment
bill
was
included
in
the
House
bill
and
it's
had
a
very
good
presentation
in
the
Senate.
The
PRA
Aid
is
something
that
was
established
in
1997
to
help
all
communities,
cities,
counties,
townships
who
had
employees
who
were
in
PE
RA
and
helped
those
communities
those
jurisdictions
to
help
with
these
an
increase
in
PE
RA
back
in
1997,
it
hasn't
grown
financially
and
but
it
was
opposed
to
sunset
this
year
and
they
forgot
to
do
it.
D
D
E
D
Chairman
councilmember
Schroeder
they'll
go
to
conference,
the
house
will
have
things
different
than
the
Senate
and
the
Senate
all
things
different
than
the
house.
I've
never
seen
a
tax
bill
to
get
it
be
the
same
all
the
way
across,
but
yeah
there
will
be
differences.
For
example,
we
do
know
that
the
chairman
of
the
Tax
Committee
and
the
Senate
introduced
a
bill
for
government
aid
that
only
had
15
million
dollars
instead
of
30,
and
he
only
had
he
had
15
million
dollars
only
going
to
cities
with
a
population
of
5,000
or
less
so
yeah.
A
F
Chair
Johnson
and
members
and
Parker
Bennet
the
legislative
aid
for
this
session,
I'm
gonna
be
going
over
the
transportation
bills.
First
up
the
house,
which
is
house
file,
1555
they're,
looking
at
about
seven
and
a
quarter
billion
dollars
in
appropriations,
which
is
about
almost
a
full
billion
dollars
more
over
the
base.
Key
things
here,
Metro
mobility
is
moved
to
its
own
line
item
in
the
general
fund,
so
it
moves
out
of
the
Met
councils
budget,
which
frees
up
more
room
there.
F
They
also
have
some
base
increases
to
airport
development
and
assistance,
municipal
and
county
state
aid,
as
well
as
creating
a
new
electric
vehicle
infrastructure
account.
It
also
includes
two
billion
dollars
in
trunk,
highway
bonds
and
so
1.7
billion
of
those
go
towards
state
road,
construction
and
maintenance,
and
about
300
million
dollars
goes
to
the
corridors
of
Commerce
program
over
in
the
Senate,
though,
and
Senate
filed
1093.
F
They
keep
Metro
mobility
in
the
mat
councils
budget,
which
is
been
a
source
of
concern
for
the
Metropolitan
Council,
and
they
also
reduce
the
base
for
the
passenger,
rail
and
corridors
of
Commerce
program
and
they
actually
defund
both
of
those.
In
addition,
it
includes
a
couple
of
audits
of
the
Department
of
Transportation,
the
Department
of
Public
Safety.
The
house
is
really
where
they
have
new
finance
provisions.
The
main
one
is
the
20
cent
gas
tax
increase,
which
is
done
phased
in
five
cent
increase
is
over
four
years
in
fiscal
year
23.
F
It
would
then
be
indexed
to
the
national
highway.
Construction
cost
index
for
inflation
also
included,
are
some
various
increases
to
registration
and
driver's
license
tab
fees,
filing
fees,
as
well
as
the
motor
vehicle
sales
tax
by
0.375
to
a
total
of
six
point,
eight:
seventy
five
percent.
We
have
a
question
from.
D
F
D
F
Other
provisions
in
the
house,
omnibus
bill
include
a
restructuring
the
motor
vehicle
lease
sales
tax
to
include
Hennepin
and
Ramsey
counties.
So
before
those
haven't
been
included
in
the
formula
for
distribution
because
of
the
just
the
size
of
our
populations.
Here
they
do
a
percentage
of
our
populations
to
allow
us
to
enter
into
that
formula.
F
This
would
be
for
transit,
it
would
go
to
the
Metropolitan
Council
50%
would
go
to
the
Met
Council
just
outright
in
half
would
go
to
the
transportation
advisory
board,
and
then
it
gets
divvied
up
pretty
much
thirty,
thirty
ten
for
transit,
roads
and
bridges
and
then
non
motorized
transportation,
so
walking
biking.
Other
sorts
of
things.
A
G
Both
who
use
transit
today,
who
are
dependent
on
transit
and
for
the
realization
of
our
Minneapolis
2040
vision,
which
is
to
concentrate
growth
near
transit,
therefore
requiring
that
we
have
functioning
transit
in
our
city,
and
so
you
know
the
other
pieces
are
so
important
to
the
additional
funding
the
sales
tax
revenue.
But
this
one
piece
about
creating
sustainability,
even
in
even
the
status
quo,
is
so
important.
G
So
I
just
really
wanted
to
underscore
that,
and
thank
you
for
the
work
and
effort
that's
going
into
supporting
it
and
just
another
little
common
and
what,
as
we
think,
kind
of
longer-term
about
our
transportation
action
plan
and
our
city's
transit
network
I
just
wanted
to
reflect
that.
Given
the
dissolution
of
see
tip,
it
means
that
Hennepin
County
is
collecting
that
sales
tax
revenue,
and
so
we
just
have
a
need
as
a
city
to
as
we're
articulating
our
transit
vision.
G
You
know
really
be
communicating
with
partnering
with
advocating
for
local
transit
service
with
all
of
those
funding
partners,
which
is
now
Hennepin,
County
and
Metro
Transit
and,
of
course,
advocating
for
the
funding
at
the
legislature.
So
there's
lots
of
ways
that
we
need
to
continue
to.
You
know
I,
think,
put
forward
our
vision
and
then
advocate
for
the
visioned.
A
G
F
You
next
we're
going
to
move
on
to
the
policy
provisions,
so
both
the
House
and
the
Senate
include
a
provision
that
would
allow
cities
to
establish
their
own
speed
limits.
They
differ
a
little
bit
and
how
they
get
to
this
in
terms
of
statute,
but
they
both
pretty
much
end
up
being
the
same
result,
which
is
that
cities
would
then
have
the
authority
to
establish
a
lower
speed
limit
on
residential
roads
without
having
to
go
through
the
min
dive
review
and
then
approval
process.
F
They
also
deal
with
the
Met
Council
calculon
Isles
mediation,
and
they
both
require
a
mediation
as
well
as
a
settlement.
The
house
has
a
much
lower
settlement
number
than
Senate
does,
and
then
the
house
would
also
require
the
city
of
Minneapolis
to
lead
rail
safety
meetings
for
the
duration
of
the
Southwest
light
rail
project,
whereas
the
Senate
would
have
a
vibration
susceptibility
study
that
the
Met
Council
would
have
to
fund.
So
there's
a
little
bit
of
difference.
Layering
in
the
house.
F
They
have
a
bunch
of
new
autonomous
vehicle
regulations
that
would
allow
for
the
testing
of
AV
on
public.
It's
given
a
permitting
process
that
would
go
through
and
MnDOT.
However,
the
Senate
decided
to
prohibit
any
autonomous
vehicles
on
any
public
roads
in
the
state.
There's
also
some
bicycle
regulation
updates
in
the
house
that
would
touch
on
passing
and
shoulder
use
as
well
as
clarify
what
bike
way
definition
is.
The
Senate,
meanwhile,
would
prohibit
MnDOT
from
funding
or
recommending
anything
to
do
with
bike
ways
or
bike
lanes,
so
state
funds
would
be
prohibited
for
bicycle
lanes.
F
There's
also,
some
language
to
deal
with
drones
or
unmanned
aircraft
would
allow
cities
and
local
governments
to
establish
their
own
ordinances
as
long
as
they
send
and
review
them
to
the
commissioner
MnDOT,
and
then
it
also
lifts
a
prohibition
on
a
study,
planning,
development
and
construction
of
a
rail
line
from
Minneapolis
to
Northfield,
whereas
the
Senate
would
ban
the
the
use
of
state
funds
on
any
light.
Rail
expansion
or
capital
costs.
F
This
is
not
in
the
Senate
bill.
Yeah
there's
also
some
language
to
do
with
traffic
fines
and
fees
that
would
prohibit
driver's
licenses
from
being
suspended
or
revoked,
given
that
the
only
conviction
is
driving
after
suspension
or
revocation
or
failure
to
pay
a
traffic
ticket
for
parking,
fine
or
surcharge.
So
this
is
one
half
of
our
driver's
license.
Fines
and
fees
bill
that
we're
looking
at
and
then
in
the
Senate
side
they
do
allow
the
Minneapolis,
City
Council
to
adopt
and
engine
braking
ordinance
for
sections
of
I-94
comes
to
member
shredder.
E
B
A
E
Could
feel
them
why
this
is
important
to
myself
in
my
district
being
like
my
districts,
/
35w,
this
becomes
a
big
issue
if
you're
on
the
crosstown
or
on
35w,
where
you're
braking
on
that
curve,
the
residents
can
hear
it's
extremely
loud
and
extremely
they.
They
would
some
rank
that
higher
than
the
jet
noise
in
my
district.
So
that's.
C
D
Mr.
chairman,
we're
gonna
check,
but
we
think
also
the
Senate
bill
transportation.
Bill
may
return
to
store,
give
us
the
stone
arch
bridge
I
mean
you
know,
City
Minneapolis.
This
was
heard
a
couple
weeks
ago.
The
concern
was
that
MnDOT,
allegedly
that
legislators
were
concerned,
that
they
did
really
weren't
aware
of
the
funding
for
the
stone
arch
bridge.
There
was
legislation
introduced
by
Senator
Senjem.
That
basically
said
we
get
it
on
in
July
of
2019.
D
A
D
H
Good
afternoon,
chair
Johnson
committee
members,
my
name
is
Alison
Messier
part
of
the
intergovernmental
relations
team,
I'm,
going
to
go
over
the
housing
appropriations
and
policy
bills
from
the
House
and
Senate
both
of
the
committee's
passed,
their
omnibus
bills,
and
in
preparation
for
conference
committees
to
better
align
with
the
Senate
Housing
Committee
structure,
which
also
includes
Agriculture
and
Rural
Development.
The
house
housing
bill
was
merged
with
the
House
Agriculture
Committee
built
the
house.
H
Housing
omnibus
appropriation
is
a
twenty
six
million
dollar
increase
to
the
base
by
two
programs
administered
through
Minnesota
Housing,
Finance
Agency,
the
Senate
housing
omnibus,
did
not
include
an
increase
from
the
previous
biennium
and
instead
it
moves
funds
from
existing
programs
to
fund
other
priorities.
The
highlights
of
both
bills
on
this
slides
are
the
programs
that
benefit
developments
and
residents
within
the
city
of
Minneapolis
on
the
House
bill
gives
twenty
nine
point.
Eight
five
million
to
the
challenge
program,
which
many
of
our
developments
are
recipients
of
it's
a
four
million
dollar
increase.
H
H
H
None
in
the
Senate
bridges,
which
has
rental
assistance
for
individuals
or
families
with
a
mental
illness,
received
ten
point,
one
eight
million
in
the
house
and
eight
point:
one:
eight
million
in
the
Senate
family
homelessness
prevention
program,
which
benefits
a
lot
of
Minneapolis
residents,
received
nineteen
point
four
million
in
the
house
and
seventeen
point:
oh
four
million
in
the
Senate
one
of
the
new
initiatives
in
the
house.
Housing
bill
is
the
alleged
safe
homes
grant
program
which
received
1
million
dollars
over
the
biennium.
It
is
not
included
in
the
Senate
file
councilmember.
E
H
Okay,
our
own
housing
policy,
housing
policy
bills
originating
from
the
house,
were
not
included
in
the
house
omnibus
bill
that
really
focused
just
on
Appropriations
and
Finance.
Many
of
them
moved
on
their
own
out
of
the
seven
tenant
protection
bills
that
we
worked.
That
are
followed
closely
on
only
one
house
file
for
nine
five:
seven
at
file,
one
twenty
five,
which
is
authored
by
Minneapolis
representative
Noor
and
Senator
deeds.
H
Ik,
has
moved
off
the
floor
in
the
house,
but
it
is
awaiting
to
be
heard
on
the
floor
in
the
Senate,
so
it
at
least
made
it
out
of
committee
housing
policies
that
were
included
in
the
Senate
housing
omnibus
bill.
This
slide
highlights
one
that
would
impact
the
city
and
our
residents,
the
programs
that
we
have
are
funding
that
residents
receive
so
for
around
the
challenge
program.
H
The
Senate
had
originally
put
some
EMI
requirements
on
it
that
would
have
limited
its
applicability
to
supportive
housing
projects,
but
now
they
changed
it
to
a
business
located
within
the
project
area
must
provide
a
written
statement
to
the
local
Housing
Authority,
indicating
that
the
lack
of
available
housing
has
impeded
their
ability
to
recruit
and
hire
employees,
so
not
the
not
as
restrictive
as
initially
proposed
our
housing
staff.
We
don't
see
that
as
a
as
a
barrier
to
any
of
our
challenge
fund
recipients.
H
E
H
The
third
item-
the
Senate,
directs
mhf
a
to
evenly
split
the
agency's
resources
between
the
metro
region
and
Greater
Minnesota.
Instead
of
a
population
based
split
which
has
historically
been
60%,
Metro
40%,
greater
Minnesota,
it
combines
three
homeownership
programs,
the
capacity
building
grants,
homeownership
education,
counseling
and
build
wealth,
I'm
a
Minnesota
appropriation
to
create
one
new
single
program,
which
is
a
collective
cut
of
1.5
million.
The
house
keeps
those
three
programs
separately
and
is
1.5
million
dollars
higher
the
Senate
policy.
H
G
You
mr.
chair
I
just
wanted
to
underscore
you
know
just
my
disappointment
in
the
status
of
the
bills
that
were
intended
to
strengthen
mentor
protections.
We
have
some
of
the
weakest
in
the
country
in
Minnesota
and
I.
Think
as
we're
in
all
of
these
many
meetings
and
conversations
at
the
state
and
regional
and
local
level
about
funding
for
housing,
responding
to
homeless
encampments
and
increased
displacement
and
homelessness,
which
is
rising
rapidly
in
Minnesota,
particularly
in
communities
of
color,
not
addressing
the
sort
of
Route
policy
cause
of
increased
homelessness
and
housing.
G
Displacement
is
really
just
giving
us
this
kind
of,
like
perpetual
catch-up
game
that
we're
never
going
to
solve,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
voice
that,
because
it
is
what
it
is
for
this
session.
But
I
do
want
to
commit
myself
to
really
trying
to
get
ready
for
next
year
and
just
all
of
us
kind
of
working
to
build
that
coalition
around
the
stage
and
one
that,
whenever
we're
in
conversations
about
increased
homelessness,
our
housing
funding
or
all
these
other
things,
I
just
think.
G
Some
things
that
are
very
common-sense
kind
of
policy
like
renters
should
have
heat
or
like
landlords,
should
be
required
to
make
basic
safety
and
health
repairs
and
their
units
I
mean
these
are
things
that
renters
in
Minnesota
just
don't
have
in
Enlai
and
we've
been,
you
know:
we've
been
working,
we
spent
so
many
hours
at
the
local
level
trying
to
pass
local
ordinances
about
work
in
many
ways
by
state
law.
So
anyway,
just
want
to
underscore
I
think
in
the
next
couple
of
years.
G
H
Briefly,
I
hear
you
and
the
conversations
and
committee
around
on
the
tenant
protection
bills
or
some
of
the
most
contentious,
but
I
look
forward
to
working
over
the
summer
on
on
seeing
what
we
can
do
next
year
and
again.
Yes,
the
Minneapolis
delegation
really
did
the
heavy
lift
on
all
of
the
tenant
protections
bills
in
the
house
and
then
Senator
deed.
Second,
in
the
Senate
carried
the
majority
of
them,
particularly.
H
E
Just
have
it
coming
and
probably
tell
her
my
questions:
I'm
not
I'm,
extremely
disappointed
in
the
Senate
and
the
way
that
they
are
approaching
it.
It's
not
based
on
data.
It's
not
dais,
based
on
any
pilot
programs
or
policy,
it's
frankly,
just
very
selfish,
about
like
they're,
very
individual
area
and
it's
hurting,
Minnesota
and
I
think
that
that's
very
unfortunate
I
kind
of
want.
E
Thank
you,
then
so
not
an
easy
environment
to
work
in
when
we
are
trying
to
do
the
work
that
is
being
held
up
by
the
state
from
a
very
specific,
short-term,
pretty
selfish
view,
when
we
are
really
trying
to
look
out
for
something
that
will
help
Minneapolis,
which
would
help
the
whole
state.
So
thank
you.
Thank
You.
D
Mr.
chairman
quickly
cover
some
the
public
safety
issues
in
the
House
bill
that
are
that
are
not
in
the
Senate
bill.
The
house
has
about
a
I
think
it's
almost
200
to
each
policy
portion
of
its
bill
and
in
it
are
some
things
that
were
familiar
with,
and
some
new
things
are
being
proposed
perfectly
some
studies,
one
of
the
things
in
the
bill.
It
allows
for
restoration
of
voting
rights
for
convicted
felons,
but
it's
upon
completing
either
their
incarceration
or
upon
sentencing.
D
E
D
Mr.
chairman,
it's
councilmember
sure.
Yes,
it's
a
it's
a
little
different.
This
is
representative
Gaines
bill.
That
was,
he
brought
in
some
folks
to
testify
in
this
bill
and
some
of
the
people
who
testified
on
this
bill
and
several
other
bills
were
from
the
restaurant.
That's
run
in
south
Minneapolis
by
people
who
were
incarcerated
and
they
have
a
really
good
grilled
cheese,
sandwiches
and
whose
name
escapes
me
right
now.
D
They
were,
they
were
really
good,
very
good,
testifying
also.
We
talked
in
transportation
about
the
traffic
fine
bill,
our
traffic,
finding
issues.
We
worked
on
also
in
public
safety,
so
it's
in
two
spots
at
least
two
spots.
It
also
establishes
a
cannabis
task
force
and
that
task
force
at
one
time
was
40
persons
big.
Now
it
is
32.
It
includes
people
from
the
cannabis
industry,
the
Public
Safety
local
government,
governor
gubernatorial,
appointees
and
legislators.
D
They
are
charged
to
come
back,
not
saying
if
we
should
or
should
not
adopt
cannabis
legally,
but
as
what
are
the
implications
and
recommendations
for
such
things
as
taxation,
legal
policies
associated
with
a
regulation,
production
and
sale.
So
it's
a
running,
then
this
group
to
come
back
and
it's
got
to
come
back
sometime
in
early
2020,
with
some
recommendations.
D
Our
so
called
red
flag,
both
of
those
sections
are
in
this
bill.
This
bill
also
includes
several
studies
dealing
with
police,
community
relations,
police
and
labor,
and
City
County
government
relationships,
lots
of
task
force
on
that,
and
also
some
other
studies
on
traffic
stops.
So
the
this
bill
has
an
awful
lot
of
things
in
it.
There's
about
13
different
articles,
a
lot
of
changes
to
criminal
law
and
a
lot
of
changes
to
procedures
for
police
community
relationships.
C
D
D
H
So
this
slide
summarizes
the
Health
and
Human
Services
finance
and
policy
omnibus
bills.
You
will
note
that
a
total
appropriation
difference
of
five
hundred
and
fifty
six
million
dollars
exists
between
the
two.
The
bill
highlights
on
this
slide
are
appropriations
and
policies
that
impact
the
city,
the
programs
and
ordinances
that
we
have,
as
well
as
the
policies
and
programs
that
impact
our
residents,
those
being
the
provider
tax,
sunset
repeal,
which
has
been
a
very
hot
topic.
This
session
is
the
sunset
repeal
is
included
in
the
house
file.
H
It
is
not
included
in
the
Senate
file,
that's
about
a
billion
dollars
a
year
revenue
and
it
funds
the
ship,
the
state
health
improvement
programs,
which
our
health
department
is
a
recipient
of
the
medical
assistance
coverage.
Expansion
for
enhanced
asthma
services,
which
is
something
our
health
department
has
worked
on
extensively
over
the
last
six
years,
is
included
in
the
house
file.
It
is,
did
not
receive
a
hearing
in
the
Senate,
so
it
is
not
included
in
the
Senate
file.
H
The
local
Public
Health
grant
in
the
house
file
receives
a
one
million
dollar
increase
and
it
is
funded
at
the
current
level.
In
the
Senate
tobacco
21,
raising
the
minimum
age
to
buy
tobacco
in
the
state
is
included
in
the
house
file.
It
is
not
included
in
the
Senate
home
visiting
another
important
program
for
our
health
department
received
a
250,000
increase
which
is
great,
and
but
it
isn't
funded
at
the
current
level
and
in
the
Senate
I'm
not
directly
related
to
the
city,
but
directly,
impacting
on
many
of
our
residents.
H
There's
an
M
fit
cash
increase
of
$100
a
month
included
in
the
house
file
and
that
has
not
been
increased
since
1986.
The
cash
grant
side
of
things
that
grant
increase
is
not
included
in
the
Senate
I'm
community.
Solutions
for
healthy
child
development
program,
which
is
a
disparity
study
for
children
of
color
and
American
Indian
children,
which
was
authored
by
representative
Dabney,
is
included
in
the
house
file
and
not
included
in
the
Senate,
and
then
the
HIV
prevention
program,
which
is
new,
is
included
in
the
house,
not
in
the
Senate.
H
The
opioid
package
that
has
been
receiving
a
lot
of
press
and
that
we
have
been
following
closely
has
left
the
floor
in
both
the
House
and
the
Senate
and
is
currently
in
conference
committee.
They
have
met
once
but
had
to
cancel
due
to
the
amount
of
hearings
on
omnibus
bills.
Last
week.
Their
plan
is
to
adopt
same
or
similar
provisions
within
the
two
versions
and
negotiations
negotiations
between
the
larger
differences,
which
there
are
many
will
happen
over
the
upcoming
weeks.
D
Mr.
chairman,
the
next
is
a
capital
investment
and,
in
the
first
slide,
I
tried
to
show
two
different
revenue
sources
that
go
into
the
bonding
bill.
The
bonding
bill
really
is
more
than
just
capital
general
obligation,
bonds
of
the
state
there's
a
governor.
He
proposed
818
million
dollars
of
general
obligation
bonds.
The
house
is
at
one
point
to
also
some
money
is
dedicated
in
from
general
obligation
bonds,
but
for
transportation
projects,
and
that's
wrote
mostly
Road
and
bridges,
as
you
can
see,
they
both
put
in
two
hundred
million
or
two
hundred
ninety
five
million.
D
So
the
significant
amount
of
money
is
going
in
for
roads
and
bridges
statewide
through
the
general
obligation,
transportation
fund,
user
financing
is
I
partially
the
bonds
of
partially
paid
off
by
revenues
coming
back
from
the
investment,
and
this
is
money.
This
forty
million
dollars
is
for
the
rural
finance
authority
from
for
projects
in
rural
Minnesota
capital
investment
projects,
a
capital
improvement
projects,
the
general
fund
is
usually
a
small
amount
of
money.
Some
years,
sir,
it's
fairly
significant,
but
usually
a
small
amount
of
money
to
be
used,
often
for
projects
that
can't
be
bonded.
D
They're
not
bondable,
maybe
our
nonprofits
or
some
other
things,
I
can't,
but
don't
have
a
useful
life
greater
than
equal
to
or
greater
than
the
bonds.
The
bonds
are
20
years
in
this
year's
project
proposal.
There's
a
million
dollars
for
public
TV
equipment
and
obviously
doesn't
go
20
years,
so
it
can't
be
bonded,
so
it
is
being
in
cash.
The
trunk
highway
bonds
are
only
to
be
used.
They
come
out
of
the
highway
user
tax,
transistor
bution
fund
of
the
gas
tax
and
that
pays
off
those
bonds
and
the
appropriation
bonds
are
a
nine.
D
They
don't
count
as
general
obligation
bonds,
but
they
sort
of
sort
of
there
were
like
a
moral
obligation
of
the
state
and
they
have
been
used
mostly
for
housing
and
this
120
million
dollars
in
both
the
governor's
proposal
and
the
house
are
for
housing
and
up
above
where
general
obligation
bonds
are,
is
thirty
million
dollars
for
public
housing,
so
both
those
bills.
Now
there
isn't
a
Senate
bill.
Yet
this
is
a
fairly
large
bill
for
a
odd
year,
because
the
governor
usually
does
his
proposal
in
the
even
year.
But
this
bill
is
out.
D
There
it'll
be
on
the
floor,
probably
maybe
late
next
week
or
the
week
after,
and
if
you
turn
the
page,
there
are
the
these
are
the
projects
that
are
in
the
bill
located
in
our
city,
and
they
include
us
at
the
University
of
Minnesota,
the
child
development
and
then
there's
a
then
our
three
projects,
the
Emergency
operating
operation
center,
the
central
city,
storm
tunnel
and
the
the
emergency
operation
center,
the
storm
tunnel
and
the
upper
Harbor
music
venue
are
all
fully
funded.
There's
also
a
bike
pedestrian
bridge
in
representative
Norris
district
that
goes
across
94.
D
There's
the
park
boards
26th
Avenue
north
project,
which
is
the
bike
way
I
think
goes
to
the
river
and
then
there's
a
in
Legacy
bill,
19
million
dollars
the
first
year
and
20
million
dollars
the
second
year
for
Metro
parks.
They
don't
specify
the
projects
that
just
says
what
was
approved
by
the
cities
and
when
they
sit
over
the
park
boards
when
they
submitted
it
to
the
council.
D
D
Yeah
I
don't
know
if
it'll
stick,
but
it's
it's
a
great
start
and
then
getting
ready
for
2020
and
we're
going
to
probably
bring
to
the
council
sometime
in
late
May.
These
proposals
for
2020
the
governor
by
statute
needs
to
submit
his
cap
to
the
capital
investment
proposal
to
the
legislature
in
January
of
2020,
which
I
think
it's
January
15th.
D
What
the
process
starts
it's
in
chapter
15
a
is
that
local
governments
and
the
state
agencies
can
submit
proposals
to
the
management
and
budget,
usually
by
the
middle
of
June,
and
they
can
be
included
in
a
list
that
goes
to
legislators
and
they
those
projects
that
list
serves
as
the
basis
for
the
tours
the
budget
tours
of
the
capital
bonding
tours
that
we
all
been
on
in
the
busses
over
the
last
couple
years.
So
we
will
be
having
probably
a
capital
bonding
tour
sometime
this
summer
or
fall.
We
need
to
get
our
council.
D
D
Pensions,
energy
appointment
and
economic
development
pensions
of
MuRF
is
you're
aware
one
of
those
things
that
every
couple
years
goes
up
and
goes
down.
Yeah
this
year
the
governor
proposed
fully
funding
MuRF
at
sixteen
million
dollar
state
contribution,
and
that
would
mean
that
we
and
the
other
employers
would
put
in
twenty-one
million
dollars
a
year
and
that
would
go
to
twenty
thirty
one.
The
house
agreed,
the
Senate
has
decided
to
defund
the
program
and
put
it
in
at
zero.
So
we
will
be
having
some
interesting
discussions
over
the
next
couple
weeks
on
that
topic.
D
There's
also
some
language
modifying
the
contribution
by
we
make
as
a
city
for
the
old
PE
RA
for
the
old
police
and
fire
funds
and
will
turn
out
now
part
of
PE
RA.
It
was
included
in
the
omnibus
pension
bill
and
it
would
mean
a
reduction
of
our
levee
and
our
contribution
to
the
safer
from
now
to
2021.
D
Unfortunately,
though,
that's
in
the
omnibus
pensions
bill
and
it's
held
up
and
in
the
committee
or
in
the
pension
Commission,
and
they
haven't,
set
up
a
meeting
date
to
approve
it.
So
there
are
some
discussions
going
on
to
b12
because
of
the
MER
funding
and
the
PE
RA
funding
have
caused
some
discussion.
D
Also
the
phase
retirement
options
program,
which
is
supposed
to
sunset
that
sense.
It's
been
removed
and
many
things
happening
in
energy,
but
I
know
we.
Our
staff
has
worked
very
closely
on
trying
to
allow
local
governments
to
have
the
opportunity
to
offer
or
to
adopt
the
voluntary
standard
for
a
building
performance.
That's
B,
2030
stretch,
code,
representative,
Jamie
long
has
been
really
instrumental
on
this.
H
Last
but
certainly
not
least,
economic
and
Workforce
Development,
the
house,
jobs
and
economic
development,
omnibus,
is
around
308
million,
and
the
Senate
omnibus
is
around
two
hundred
and
twenty
nine
million.
So
that's
about
of
appropriation,
difference
of
about
76
million
and,
as
noticed
previously,
this
bill
highlight
the
highlights
on
this
side
are
appropriations
and
policy
that
impact
the
city,
our
programs
and
ordinances,
as
well
as
the
ones
that
impact
our
residents.
We
wanted
to
point
out
that
the
business
and
Community
Development
grant
program
and
appropriating
eighty
1.35
in
the
house.
H
The
house
file
includes
family
and
medical
benefit,
Insurance
Program,
which
is
new
and
also
known
as
paid
family
leave,
and
it
outlines
the
implementation
and
startup
of
that
program
that
would
be
administered
through
the
Department
of
Employment
and
economic
development.
It
is
not
included
in
the
Senate
file.
Language
around
wage
theft
is
included
in
both
the
House
and
Senate
files,
and
adherence
to
net
neutrality
for
providers
is
something
that
is
a
provision
included
in
the
house
file,
not
in
the
Senate.
