Description
Minneapolis Ways & Means Committee Meeting
https://lims.minneapolismn.gov
A
Good
afternoon
meeting
of
the
Ways
and
Means
Committee
to
order
I'm,
the
chair
of
the
committee,
councilmember
osami
and
with
me
today,
are
councilmembers
Johnson,
Fletcher,
Palmisano
and
council
vice-president
Jenkins.
Let
the
record
reflect
that
we
have
a
quorum
and
are
able
to
take
us
to
take
up
consideration
of
the
city
business
first
I
will
open
public
hearing
for
item
1
and
item
1?
A
Is
the
capital
wrought
long-range,
Improvement
Program
modernist
passage
of
ordinance,
amending
Title
2
chapter
35
of
the
Minneapolis
Code
of
Ordinances
relating
to
the
administration
capital,
long
range,
Improvement,
Program
process
amending
the
length
of
the
adoption
and
new
capital
improvement
program
and
to
give
a
presentation
on
this
is
budget
director?
Mr.
mica
hello
go
ahead,
Mike
mr.
B
The
first
revision
is
simply
related
to
the
staffing
of
the
Capitol
long-range
Improvement
Committee,
that
in
ordinance
right
now
is
named
as
the
director
of
capital
and
debt
management
in
during
the
year.
Our
chief
financial
officer
has
moved
the
responsibility
for
capital
budget
from
capital
and
debt
management
over
to
the
budget
office,
and
so
in
wanting
to
clean
that
up
in
sort
of
future
proof
any
organizational
changes
that
may
happen
down
the
road.
The
this
change
just
simply
gives
the
says
that
the
finance
officer
is
to
staff
that
the
committee
or
the
finance
officers
designee.
B
The
second
revision,
which
is
a
little
bit
more
substantial,
is
in
is
to
move
from
a
five-year
capital
improvement
program
to
a
six-year
capital
improvement
program,
and
this
this
change
was
discussed
first,
in
conjunction
with
the
the
council's
contemplation
to
move
to
a
biennial
budget
process.
We
some
folks
pretty
quickly
realized
that
five
is
not
divisible
by
two.
So
if
we
were
going
to
be
moving
to
a
biennial
budget,
we
would
have
to
have
a
even-numbered
capital
improvement
program.
B
I
think
as
part
of
that
discussion,
though,
some
more
folks
came
to
realize
really
the
value
in
this,
particularly
as
it
relates
to
integrating
both
the
capital
on
ranging
Improvement
Committee,
our
33
resident
member
panel
and
they're
charged
to
help
prioritize
these
projects,
integrating
that,
along
with
the
city's
20-year
parks
and
streets
ordinance
and
the
goal
is
there
to
do
a
lot
more
in
the
way
of
paving
in
neighborhood
parks.
Our
public
works
department
as
they're
working
on
these
large
complex
reconstruction
projects.
B
Oftentimes.
You
know
when,
when
we're
in
year,
four
we're
looking
at
planning
program
projects
that
won't
be
appropriated
until
many
years
later,
but
they
need
that
time
and
they
need
a
certain
level
of
certainty
that
those
projects
will
come
to
fruition
as
they're,
putting
so
much
staff
time
and
devoting
that
resource
to
the
planning.
B
So
what
this
would
do
is
add
a
sixth
year
so
that,
as
it
relates
to
those
paving
projects
years,
five
and
six
would
be
a
pipeline
year,
so
that
two
three
and
four
the
planning
years
and
year,
one
then
becomes
the
appropriation
year.
So
those
are
the
two
changes
that
have
been
proposed.
Happy
to
stand
for
any
questions
you
might
have.
A
Anyone
anyone
last
chance,
anyone
seeing
no
persons
wishing
to
speak
or
seeing
no
additional
persons
wishing
to
speak
I'll
close
the
public
hearing
and
move
this
item
for
approval.
Any
discussions
on
this
item
with
regards
to
my
colleagues
and
I
have
councilman
Paul
Masson
who's
author
go
ahead,
Thank.
C
You
mr.
chair,
as
you
know,
my
office
and
other
offices
spent
much
of
last
year
on
what
meaningful
structural
budgeting
reform
would
look
like.
Biennial
budgets
have
a
lot
of
facets
and
the
charter
amendment
was
ultimately
unsuccessful
in
achieving
the
unanimous
vote
needed
to
move
forward,
and
that
was
hard
for
me,
but
some
of
these
smaller
changes.
It
still
makes
sense
to
do
some
of
these
longer
changes.
These
smaller
changes
that
in
and
of
itself,
is
the
right
way
to
move
forward.
I
have
had
a
lot
of
conversations
with
qlik
members.
C
Over
the
past
few
days,
I
just
forwarded
a
letter
of
support
that
we
got
from
one
of
the
mayoral
appointees
Todd
Schumann
I'll.
Add
that
to
the
public
record
had
a
long
conversation
with
committee
member
Bernstein
and
have
heard
some
of
his
concerns
where
he
feels
like
this
is
maybe
more
about
a
percent
more
that
gets
included
in
a
capital
plan.
Instead
of
just
adding
more
projects,
the
only
people
I
think
that
would
be
here
to
maybe
speak
against.
C
D
But
then,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
we
don't
have
a
lot
more
projects
than
what
we
have
money
for,
and
so
they
don't
feel
like
that
adds
up
to
actually
making
a
lot
of
decisions
in
the
end
and
so
by
having
six
years
worth
of
projects
under
consideration.
That
means
that
the
Kliq
appointees
work
actually
does
have
some
priorities:
a
prioritization
function
that
actually
does
have
an
impact
on
which
projects
get
done
sooner.
D
They
get
to
look
at
more
projects
to
figure
out
what's
in
the
five-year
plan
and-
and
that
is
going
to
make
that
work
more
meaningful,
it
is
going
to
be
a
little
bit
more
work
for
Public
Works
staff.
That
is
true,
but
I
actually
think
looking
that
far
ahead
and
giving
people
some
options
so
that
they
can
actually
debate
what
should
be
priorities
and
how
we're
making
those
priorities
in
our
capital
planning
is
a
really
good
idea.
So
I
really
appreciate
this
and
I'm
glad
you
brought
this
forward,
I'll
be
supporting
it
all.
A
Right,
thank
you
very
much
and
any
further
discussion
on
this
item.
Seeing
none
all
those
in
favor
say:
aye
aye,
those
against
and
that
item
has
been
approved.
So
thank
you
very
much
to
everyone
and
to
our
budget
director
does
such
fabulous
work.
Thank
you
and
now.

A
E
Mr.
chair
comes,
my
per
Fletcher
is
stated
in
the
request
for
counsel
action.
This
is
a
rebate
of
a
fire
station
remodel
project.
It
is
a
low
bid
award
and
we
do
a
staff
recommend
this
particular
bid.
We
know
there
have
been
some
questions
about
how
our
new
portal
system
works
and
what
disclosures
have
come
forward
in
terms
of
ensuring
bidders
on
complete
and
accurate
understanding
of
what
the
city's
bid
requirements
are.
E
Preliminary
views,
since
those
questions
were
raised
just
a
few
hours
ago,
are
that
we
are
in
compliance
with
all
of
the
city
policies
for
this
and
would
certainly
recommend
that
the
city
move
forward
and
we,
as
always
take
these
questions
very
seriously
from
our
partners
and
the
building
trades
and
will
certainly
review
if
you
so
desire,
as
a
council
with
city
attorney
that
we
can
spend
more
than
a
few
hours
reviewing
all
of
the
circumstances,
not
to
say
the
city
doesn't
make
mistakes
once
in
a
while.
We
certainly
do
but
at
least
preliminarily.
D
Thank
you,
mister
I,
think,
just
because
of
the
short
amount
of
time
we've
all
had
to
consider
whether
these
concerns
have
merit
I
a
and
we're
also
in
a
position,
as
you
know,
where
I
asked
what
it
cost
us
anything
to
postpone
a
cycle
so
that
we
could
figure
it
out
and
and
because
of
the
short
notice
we
received.
You've
told
me
that
you're
not
sure
what
it
would
cost
us
to
postpone.
D
D
So,
let's
see
if
we
can
get
those
questions
resolved
by
Friday
and
be
clear
about
what
the
cost
to
us
is,
if
we
did
decide
that
we
wanted
to
eat
a
delay
or
rebid
so
that
we
understand
better
what
our
options
are
and
for
today,
I'll
go
ahead
and
vote
YES
on
it,
so
that
we
can
move
it
through
to
Friday.
If
that,
if
that
makes
sense
to
you,
mr.
E
C
C
A
A
So
we
took
care
of
item
number
14
and
now
we
go
back
to
the
the
rest
of
our
consent
items
all
those
in
any
further
discussions
on
the
rest
of
the
items
that
we
have
in
front
of
us,
no
seeing
none
all
those
in
approval
say
aye,
those
against
alright
those
items
have
been
approved
and
since
we
have
no
further
distort
or
any
further
discussion,
this
meeting
is
adjourned.
Thank
you.
