Minneapolis City Council Meeting
https://lims.minneapolismn.gov
A
Good
morning,
everyone
welcome
to
City
Hall
this
morning,
I'll,
let
folks
gather
in
and
I'm
so
excited
to
see
everyone
here
this
morning.
This
is
our
last
City
Council
meeting
of
the
decade.
So
what
a
wonderful
day
to
celebrate
such
an
important
member
of
our
community,
so
I'll
wait
for
it,
mayor,
frey
and
councilmembers
Fletcher
and
right
to
join
me.
We're
gonna
begin
this
morning,
often
before
our
official
business,
we
have
the
chance
to
recognize
important
people
and
events
in
our
community
and
I'm
so
thrilled
that
you're
all
here
today
to
celebrate
mr.
B
B
Our
favorite
joyous
Pied
Piper,
Aldo
Maroni,
you
know
before
I,
say
some
really
serious
things
and
have
a
very
formal
wear,
as
it
should
just
be
noted
that
when
I
first
met,
although
Moroni
it
wasn't
about
some
strategy
to
build
community
or
an
aesthetic
conversation
of
great
magnitude.
We
were
just
at
a
party
in
the
warehouse
district
and
having
a
good
time
as
a
puppy,
a
couple
of
bon
vivants,
but
very
quickly,
even
when
you're
having
fun,
he
can
weave
in
a
narrative
of
meaning
and
really
grab
your
attention
at
that
time.
B
And
it's
interesting
that
as
he
can
bring
a
serious
notion
to
having
fun
and
we
had
some
fun.
He
can
bring
the
fund
to
the
serious
work
of
community
building
and
recognition
of
each
other
as
we
grow
as
people
as
a
community
and
to
be,
quite
frankly
as
a
city.
You've
been
a
part
of
that
in
a
deeply
meaningful
and
fun
way.
B
B
And
it's
interesting
the
early
scene,
you
know
what
was
sort
of
the
dominant
moment
of
that
scene.
The
early
the
set
of
mid
80s,
the
90s,
yet
that
sort
of
rise
of
the
artists
kind
of
sexy
knows
in
movies.
But
it's
also
the
time
I
was
getting
highly
commodified
distant
from
the
community
and
also
there's
kind
of
a
grassroots
moment.
You
know
kind
of
that
punk-rock.
You
know
a
lot
of
spray-paint
and
mannequin
pirates
and
that
was
kind
of
cool
and
heroic.
B
C
Thank
You
councilmember
and
thank
you,
although
for
everything
you've
done
for
our
community
I,
think
there
I've
been
reflecting
on
your
work
and,
and
you
and
I
don't
know
each
other
as
long
or
as
well
as
as
as
many
others
in
the
room
and
I
think
it's
such
a
testament
to
this
entire
community.
There
are
very
few
people
who
can
get
the
arts
community
to
City
Hall
and
there
are
very-
and
there
are
very
few
people
who
can
get
the
arts
community
anywhere
at
9
a.m.
C
in
these
numbers
and
and
and
it's
really
a
testament
to
everyone's
love
for
you
and
I.
Just
I've
been
reflecting
on
your
work
and
I've
been
reflecting
on
how
powerful
it
is
to
add
work
to
public
space
that
both
contributes
to
change,
that
contributes
to
the
new
that
we're
building
and
really
honors
and
grabs.
C
What's
so
special
about
our
history,
that
grabs,
what's
so
special
about
the
different
moments
in
time
and
brings
them
into
continuity
with
each
other
in
a
way
that
I,
just
I,
appreciate
so
much
and
I
think
it's
so
symbolic
of
the
direction
that
our
city
is
moving.
I
think
that
it's
so
in
line
with
the
way
that
our
city
thinks
about
ourselves
and
I.
Think
you
really
through
your
work,
have
been
a
thought
leader
in
the
way
our
city
is
developing.
C
C
So,
whereas
Aldo
Maroni
graduated
with
a
Bachelor
of
Fine
Arts
from
the
Minneapolis
College
of
Art
and
Design
in
1976,
and
went
on
to
exhibit
his
work
at
the
Walker
Art
Center
within
a
year
of
graduating
and
whereas
Aldo
Maroni
was
a
pioneer
who
sparked
the
warehouse
district
art
movement
in
Minneapolis
in
the
1970s
and
whereas
Aldo
Maroni
through
his
curious
mind.
Colorful
spirit
and
creative
hands
made
an
indelible
whimsical
mark
on
the
Marcy
homes.
C
Neighborhood
in
2002,
through
the
6th
Avenue
stroll
his
multi-block
gallery
of
twenty-three
bronze
sculptures
along
6th
Avenue
southeast
and
whereas
Aldo
Maroni
was
one
of
the
contributing
founders
of
the
Northeast
Minneapolis
Arts
District,
and
received
a
vision
award
from
the
Northeast
Arts
District
Board
in
2017
for
his
leadership
and
commitment
in
the
service
of
art,
artists
and
culture.
And
whereas
Aldo
Maroni
was
one
of
the
first
residents
and
is
the
undisputed
Dean
of
the
ml
artists
lofts,
where
he
facilitated
the
first
artist.
B
Every
partner
from
small
neighborhood
groups
to
large
formal
organizations
and
whereas
Aldo
Maroni
captured
the
built
environment
of
Minneapolis
through
his
art
and
preserved
it
for
generations.
Now.
There
be
therefore
be
it
resolved
by
the
City
Council
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis
and
the
mayor
that
the
that
we
recognize
his
commitment
to
building
community
sparking
joy
and
forging
connections
between
people
places
through
public
art
over
the
course
of
his
distinguished
career.
So
there
of
her,
we
hereby
present
the
resolution
to
Aldo
Maroni,
together
with
their
most
sincere
thanks,
appreciation
and
deep
gratitude.
D
E
D
So
it's
it's
such
a
great
honor
to
have
this
legend
in
in
City,
Hall,
a
force
of
life
and
a
force
of
nature,
who
has
quite
literally,
been
at
the
forefront
of
depicting
and
guiding
the
arts
community
in
Northeast.
Yes,
but
also
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
has
been
on
the
warehouse
district
to
the
Northeast
Minneapolis
and
we
all
followed
you
there.
You
know
and
then
ultimately
you're
at
the
a
mill
now
and
I.
D
Remember
the
when
I
first
met
you,
we
were
all
sort
of
party,
it
was
a
common
theme,
but
we
were
arguing
for
affordable
housing
for
artists
to
make
sure
that
they
could
stay
in
the
community,
and
this
is
back
when
it
like
it
wasn't
popular
at
all
to
advocate
in
favor
of
vml
and
affordable
housing
and
the
historic
preservation
that
went
along
with
it.
But
but
Aldo
as
as
usual
was,
was
at
the
forefront
of
all
of
it.
D
He
has
become
almost
synonymous
with
the
history
of
our
city,
but
the
unique
thing
about
his
art
is:
while
it
is
predominantly
buildings,
you
somehow
find
this
way
of
making
it
about
people
and
community.
It's
this.
It's
this
beautiful
depiction
of
who
our
city
is
and
what
our
city
can
be
and
that
in
and
of
itself
is
beautiful
and
so
Alda
you
have
a
legacy
here.
D
G
Would
love
to
say
something?
Am
I
speaking?
Okay
yeah,
you
can
hear
me
wow.
This
is
like
you
guys,
I
gotta
tell
you
it's
overwhelming.
You
know,
I
know
99%
of
everybody
here
and
anybody
that
I,
don't
know,
come
and
say
hello.
Then
I'll
know
you
I'm
lucky
in
1972,
when
I
came
here
and
I
decided
Minneapolis
would
be
my
home.
I
made
the
right
choice.
It's
like
it's
like
true
love.
You
know
you
picked
your
partner
and
then
everything
is
gonna
be
golden.
Well
in
my
life.
G
Sometimes
that
didn't
work
out,
but
in
relationship
with
my
community
and
the
people
around
me
it
did
work
out
and
it
really
you
have
made
me
what
I
am
if
I've
had
any
successes
at
all
or
I
had
made
anything
that's
meaningful
to
anyone.
It's
because
of
the
community
that
I'm
a
part
of
I'm,
quite
sure
that
if
I
hadn't
come
to
Minnesota,
none
of
this
could
have
been
pop.
You
know
it's
that
did
butterfly
flaps
its
wing
and
everything
changes.
Well,
it's
all
true.
It's
really
how
it
works.
G
I'm
very
lucky,
very
blessed:
I
have
a
lot
of
love,
I
feel
it.
You
all
know
my
situation,
which
the
rule
is
no
worry
and
we're
not
doing
the
sad
sack
we.
We
are
where's
Marie.
My
Marie
is
my
partner
in
crime
and
the
adventure
of
going
into
the
next
place
and
we're
gonna
slide
in
and
we're
gonna
do
it
joyfully,
and
it's
about.
We
did
good,
we
did
good
work
and
we
had
fun
and
it's
like
it's
not.
G
That
would
be
good,
but
this
day
is
overwhelming
and
I
want
to
thank
you
all
for
coming
out,
but
also
for
years
and
years
and
years
of
putting
up
with
my
nonsense
and
my
insanities,
and
you
know
all
the
things
that
we've
done
and
Mary
Altman
and
I
have
been
together
on
this
long
long
time
and
our
city
really
is
enriched
by
the
programs
here
that
go
on
inside
here
and
yeah.
I
know
that
it's
a
national
model
for
other
places.
It's
amazing.
G
So
it's
me,
but
it's
like
all
these
people
around
me
that
have
helped
and
all
of
you
in
the
room
over
the
years
we're
still
doing
California,
building
studio
tomorrow's
open
studio
day,
we'll
be
there
discount.
No,
you
know
still
gotta
get
the
rent,
but
anyhow,
so
we're
still
here.
I
work
a
couple
hours
a
day:
I
have
the
best
crew
in
the
world.
My
at
Home,
Helpers,
Maxie
and
Marie
are
the
best
people
in
the
world
to
be
doing
that.
G
H
I
J
A
A
What
moved
and
seconded
all
in
favor
say
aye
aye,
any
opposed,
say
no
that
carries
and
the
agenda
is
adopted.
Next
we
have
the
minutes
from
our
regular
meeting
on
December
on
November
22nd
and
the
adjourned
meeting
from
December
11th
for
acceptance.
Is
there
a
motion
to
accept
those
minutes?
I
move.
A
E
A
E
Thank
you.
Madam
president.
The
committee
of
the
whole
brings
forward
five
items
today.
Item
number
one
is
a
correction
to
the
business
license
issued
by
the
city
for
Las
Olas
restaurant.
A
number
two
is
the
appointment
of
election
judges
for
next
year.
Special
primary
and
general
election
in
Towson
is
268
and
number
three
is
two
appointments
to
the
racial
equity
community
advisory
committee.
E
A
A
C
Think
he
comes
president
I
just
wanted
to
thank
everybody
for
adding
your
names
to
the
resolution.
Affirming
our
commitment
to
welcoming
refugees
to
our
city
I
know
that
the
mayor
was
also
here,
expressing
support
and
I
just
wanted
to
note
the
unified
message
that
our
council
is
sending
on
our
continued
support
for
being
a
city
that
welcomes
everyone.
C
A
K
You,
madam
president,
the
economic
development
and
regulatory
Services
Committee
is
bringing
15
items
forward
for
approval
this
morning.
Items
1,
2,
3,
&
4,
are
all
new
business
licenses.
Item
number
five
is
the
work
by
councilmember,
Cunningham
and
others
on
tenant
relocation,
assistance
as
well
as
item
6,
which
is
the
emergency
housing,
the
chairs,
ordinance,
I.
Believe.
That's
also,
council
member
Allison
item
7
I'm
going
to
be
moving
to
removed
from
the
agenda.
They
did
finally
pay
their
back
taxes,
so
we
can
move
that
from
the
agenda
item
8
or
the
liquor
license.
A
L
You,
madam
president,
I
just
wanted
to
speak
to
item
number
5
with
the
tenant
relocation
assistance,
ordinance,
I'm,
very
grateful
and
excited
for
this
work,
because
it
addresses
a
critical
gap
in
supporting
our
city's
most
vulnerable
renters,
who
are
currently
forced
to
live
in
substandard
unhealthy
housing.
The
city
of
Minneapolis
is
now
better
able
to
hold
bad
actors
accountable,
while
minimizing
harm
to
their
renters.
This
is
one
step
in
of
many
to
make
sure
that
we
are
truly
creating
a
city
that
welcomes
and
protects
our
renters
again.
L
This
is
just
one
part
of
several
actions
that
we
have
begun
taking
and
we'll
continue
to
undertake
to
address
the
unique
needs
of
our
city's
growing
population
of
renters.
I
want
to
be
sure
to
thank.
We
had
a
cross-departmental
collaboration
that
was
made
up
of
the
City
Attorney's
Office,
see
pet
housing
regulatory
services,
and
also
we
worked
with
community
a
diverse
group
of
stakeholders.
I
think
that
it's
important
to
note
that
in
this
we
had
both
the
Minnesota
multi,
Housing,
Association
and
Homeline.
L
Both
speak
in
favor
of
this
ordinance,
which
is
slightly
miraculous,
so
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
we
named
that
we
managed
to
thread
the
needle
on
this
topic.
We
worked
with
renters,
as
renter
advocate
advocates,
as
well
as
landlord
and
property
owners
and
their
advocacy
groups,
and
so
we
also
did
a
focus
group
with
the
housing
and
fire
inspectors
to
make
sure
that
we
are
really
fleshing
out
not
only
a
solid
policy
but
how
it
will
be
implemented.
Well,
and
so
I
asked
for
my
colleagues
support
with
this
ordinance.
L
A
Thank
you.
Are
there
any
comments
or
other
discussion?
I
don't
see
any
I
will
I
do
want
to
comment
on
this
item
as
well,
and
thank
extra
thanks
to
counsel
mark
Cunningham
for
bringing
this
forward
into
the
regulatory
Services
Department.
Earlier
this
year
we
adopted
a
renter
first
policy
that
was
intended
to
guide
how
the
regulatory
services
department
approaches
their
work
and
they've
embraced.
That
approach.
A
The
director,
Kim
Keller,
has
really
thoughtfully,
puts
together
a
plan
of
action
that
includes
a
lot
of
steps
that
are
in
the
spirit
of
that
work,
which
is
prioritizing
the
people
who
live
in
buildings
in
our
community
and
I.
Think
this
is
one
example
of
the
fruits
of
that
work
and
how
important
it
is
for
us
to
set
policy
direction
for
our
departments.
I
think
it
has
been
a
successful
model
in
a
number
of
example,
then
this
is
one
so
Thank
You
councilmember
Cunningham
again
for
bringing
this
forward
anything
else.
Seeing
that
clerk
will
call.
I
A
M
You,

bonds.
The
remainder
item
number
six
is
a
transfer
of
a
redevelopment
contract
with
bluegolds
Ventures
LLC
to
Great
Lakes
property
group.
N
This
is
for
a
property
at
7:56,
Jackson,
Street,
northeast
and
the
seventh
is
accepting
bids
for
property,
maintenance,
mowing
and
snow
removal.
An
item
eight
is
approval
of
amendments
to
our
unified
housing
policy.
That
would
include
our
inclusionary
housing
policy
in
there.
This
is
significant
amendments
that
will
allow
us
to
implement
and
support
implementing
our
inclusion
areas.
Owning
policy
that
we've
been
working
on
I
also
want
to
call
attention
to
an
amendment
that
I
forward
it
to
everybody
yesterday
and
you
should
have
it
the
dice
there.
N
I
also
want
to
move
this
amendment
to
the
policy.
It
relates
very
specifically
to
student
eligible
housing.
We
realized
there
were
some
complications
based
on
the
amendment
we
made
at
committee,
and
this
deals
very
specifically
with
properties
that
are
in
the
university
overlay
district,
the
lease
and
rented
by
bedrooms,
and
only
pertain
to
those
that
aren't
receiving
our
our
tax,
increment,
finance
or
revenue
loss,
offset
assistance,
I'll
move
the
amendment.
I
could
read
it
all
if
you
like,
as
well
and
I'll,
move
the
full
report.
A
Councillor
Gordon
has
moved
the
committee
report
in
addition
to
the
printed
motion
for
nine
item
number
eight,
which
is
in
front
of
us
and
I,
think
customer
described
well.
If
any
councillors
have
questions
feel
free
to
ask
I,
don't
think
we
need
to
read
the
whole
thing
out
loud.
That's
just
mine!
If
a
no
one
wants
them
to
please
ask:
is
there
any
comment
on
the
this
item
or
the
HPD
agenda
as
a
whole.
O
This
is
gonna
the
first
part
of
our
inclusionary
zoning,
so
it
is
a
pretty
exciting
day.
I
know.
Most
of
us
are
just
excited
to
have
it
be
the
last
meeting
of
the
decade,
but
it
is
a
long
long
process
to
get
to
the
point
where
we
are
able
to
say
with
new
development
is
going
in
this
city,
affordability
in
all
parts,
and
now,
thanks
to
the
work
of
Gordan,
even
on
a
college
campus
everyone
we
have
access
to
affordable
housing.
O
E
You,
madam
president,
I
just
want
to
come
in
on
item
number
four:
we
appointments
to
the
minneapolis
public
housing
authority
and
just
received
comments
from
constituents
asking
for
more
transparency
in
that
process,
and
so
I
would
ask
my
colleagues
to
think
about
how
we
can
create
more
transparency
for
our
appointments
to
boards
and
commissions
in
the
future,
and
I
am
going
to
be
voting.
No.
On
item
number
four.
C
K
Thinking
about
a
president,
I
first
just
wanted
to
say
something
about
inclusionary
zoning,
but
before
I
do
that
I
just
want
folks
to
know
that
the
public
housing
appointments
are
the
mayor's
appointees.
So
all
we're
doing
is
confirming
the
people.
The
mayor
had
his
own
process
and
appointed
someone
who
served
on
the
board
who's
done
a
very
good
as
well
as
our
housing
director
Andrea
Brennan.
So
these
are
not
our
point.
K
These
councilmember
Gordon
can
speak
to
how
we
will
be
pointing
our
appointees,
but
I
just
wanted
to
note
that
I
am
put
my
name
in
queue
to
speak
about
the
inclusionary
zoning
issue,
because
I
think
we're
discussing
it
now
or
rather
than
in
zoning
and
planning,
and
that
is
fine.
I
want
to
congratulate
council
president
bender
I
think
it
means
a
lot
coming
from
someone
who
wasn't
so
enthusiastic
about
this
idea
as
it
was
brought
forward.
It's
one
thing
for
people
who
always
wanted
to
do
it
to
say
it's
great.
K
Is
because
the
council
members
who
have
been
working
on
this
hired
affirm,
grounded
solutions
who
had
a
data-driven
approach
and
they
determined
that
they
could
figure
out
kind
of
what
the
breaking
point
was
from
a
profit
point
of
view
and
where
there
was
a
lot
of
profit
and
when
there
was
even
more
profit,
and
we
have
determined
that
this
is
not
a
question
of
whether
or
not
developers
ultimately
will
make
money.
They
won't
build
if
they
won't
make
money.
K
What
we're
doing
is
trying
to
even
the
playing
field
for
affordable
housing,
because
even
in
20
years
that
I've
been
on
the
council,
I've
asked
almost
every
developer
doing
a
project
in
my
ward,
will
you
add,
affordable
housing
and
pretty
much
unanimously
I've
been
told?
No,
sometimes
not
even
with
a
reason.
It's
just
simply
been
no
I'm
not
going
to
do
it,
which
leads
me
to
believe
they're
just
saying.
K
Well,
we
want
a
higher
yield
or
a
greater
amount
of
money
as
a
result
of
the
risk
that
we're
taking
and
now
we
see
developers
from
other
cities
moving
in
in
a
more
aggressive
pace.
They've
worked
in
cities
that
have
inclusionary
zoning
and
other
regulations
in
the
past,
and
they
don't
seem
to
be
alarmed
by
this
I
do
think.
There's
been
some
rhetoric
surrounding
an
alarm
about
this,
but
I.
Don't
think
that
that
is
going
to
end
up
being
what
we
see
8%,
affordable,
I,
remind
you
in
a
unit
of
one
hundred
units.
K
Is
eight
I'm
not
talking
about
adding
a
massive
burden
here,
we're
asking
about
doing
your
fair
share,
and
so
the
fact
that
it
took
a
long
period
of
time
probably
also
was
helpful
in
that
more
information
data
came
out.
That
proved
that
this
was
something
that
we
almost
had
to
do
and,
to
be
frank,
after
we
created
an
entitlement
situation
in
the
2040
plan,
where
developers
pretty
much
can
build
anything
they
want
throughout
most
of
the
city.
The
least
they
can
do
is
put
some
affordable
housing
in
and
live
up
to.
K
The
goals
that
have
been
set
by
this
council,
so
I
realized
I
have
a
lot
of
personal
friends
and
constituents
who
are
unhappy
about
this
and
I'm
sorry
they're
unhappy
about
it.
But
I
would
say
that
the
data
shows
that
this
is
something
that's
doable,
that's
being
done
in
other
cities
and
if
we
want,
as
policymakers
to
walk
the
talk
on
affordable
housing.
This
is
the
kind
of
thing
we
need
to
put
in
place.
K
J
Thank
you,
madam
president,
I
appreciate
that
our
council,
vice
president
brought
attention
to
the
email
that
we
received
early
this
morning
about
the
MPA
commissioner
appointment
process
and,
while
I
agree
with
council
more
Goodman,
that
this
looks
to
be
a
mayoral
appointment.
I
think
that
we
have
a
strong
dual
partnership
with
the
mayor's
office,
in
that
this
is
coming
before
the
council
for
our
review
and
approval.
J
So
I
just
want
to
call
attention
to
this
matter,
because
it
was
a
letter
that
was
signed
by
not
one
or
two
or
three
Northside
neighborhood
association
groups,
but
more
like
seven,
and
so
it's
Cleveland
Neighborhood
Association
follow
Neighborhood
Association,
Harrison
Neighborhood,
Association,
Hawthorn,
Neighborhood,
Association,
Heritage,
Park,
Neighborhood,
Association,
Jordan,
Area,
Community
Council,
the
Northside
residence
redevelopment,
Council,
Shingle,
Creek,
Neighborhood,
Association
victory,
Neighborhood,
Association,
Weber,
Camden,
Neighborhood,
Association,
so
I
do
think
this
requires
more
conversations
and
I.
J
Don't
feel
comfortable
approving
this
particular
item
today
as
part
of
the
housing
policy
committee
I
just
leaned
over
and
talked
to
the
chair
of
the
committee,
and
we
talked
about
moving
forward
a
motion
to
delay
that
portion
of
the
agenda
and
bring
it
back
after
one
cycle
and
so
Madam
President
I
would
like
to
make
that
motion
to
have
us
approve
the
entire
housing
policy,
Development
Committee
package
without
number
four
and
having
number
four
come
back
to
us
in
one
cycle.
After
four,
their
conversations
with
the
neighborhood
associations
and
the
in
the
mayor's
office.
A
Sorry
about
that,
thank
you.
Cosmic
condo
has
moved
to
delay
postponed
item
for
one
cycle,
bringing
it
back
to
the
City
Council.
Then
it
would
be
during
our
first
meeting
of
2020
as
I
understand
the
motion.
So
let's
discuss
that
motion
separately
so
we'll
set
aside
the
rest
of
the
agenda
for
now
and
I'll,
take
any
discussion
or
questions
or
comments
on
this
new
item
for
I.
Don't
know
if
a
clerk
can
create
one
of
those
new
columns
in
that
Thank
You
councillor.
N
Appreciate
the
conversation,
I
will
note
that
we
as
a
council
and
as
a
committee,
didn't
reconvene
our
task
force
that
we
had
previously
with
the
appointment
process
late
last
year
when
there
was
a
council
appointments
and
mayoral
appointments.
We
didn't
have
a
lot
of
conversations
with
the
mayor
about
this.
We
also
I
think
the
committee
just
generally
felt
that
this
is
our
director
of
housing
getting
reappointed,
and
this
is
a
long-standing
mPHA
member
that
nobody
had
raised.
N
N
It
is
unfortunate
we
didn't
get
this
letter
prior
to
the
committee
and
I'll
just
note
that
this
follows
the
same:
open
appointments
process
of
all
of
our
other
boards
and
commissions,
so
that
there's
notice
about
when
there's
open
appointments,
they're
all
collected
by
the
deadline,
they're
vetted
with
the
appointing
authorities
and
then
come
through
the
committee
process.
So
it
wasn't
anything
unusual
or
different.
Necessarily.
N
Finally,
I'll
just
note:
the
council
does
have
a
new
another
person
to
appoint
to
this
board
of
commission.
We
chose
not
to
do
it
in
December,
but
to
take
our
time
and
make
sure
all
the
applications
come
in
I'll
be
reconvening
our
internal
task
force
that
in
the
past,
included
the
council
vice
president
and
vice
chair
of
the
Housing
Committee
council,
member
Ellison
and
our
staff.
So
we
can
look
at
those
applications
and
come
forward
with
a
recommendation.
N
K
Appointment,
let
him
be
accountable
for
the
people
that
he
appoints.
One
of
these
people
is
our
housing
director
delaying
this
gives
an
impression
to
the
people
who
are
unhappy
with
public
housing
that
we
are
going
to
bounce
our
housing
director
off
the
public
housing
authority
board,
and
it
also
says
that
we
don't
think
that
the
two
people
that
the
mayor
has
appointed
are
doing
a
good
job
and
what
does
it
say
to
them?
K
This
is
the
mayor's
appointment.
These
are
two
incumbents
at
a
time
at
which
we
don't
have
a
director,
so
delaying
this
sends
a
very
negative
message
to
our
housing
director
and,
if
you
can
say,
if
that's
not
what
it's
about,
but
if
you
are
fine
with
Andrea
Brennan
become
the
public
housing
authority,
delaying
it
is
just
a
shot
at
her.
It's
not
gonna
create
a
different
outcome.
All
it's
doing
is
appeasing
people
who
are
complaining,
even
though
we're
gonna
turn
around
and
do
it
in
three
weeks.
K
E
You,
madam
president,
my
intent
in
bringing
for
this
issue
is
to
open
up
the
process
so
that
our
community
members
can
understand
how
and
who
makes
these
appointments.
That's
the
whole
point.
It's
creating
transparency
so
absolutely
understand
that
is
the
mayor's
appointment
I've
been
involved
in
the
council's
appointment
process
throughout
this
entire
year
and
and
really
have
a
very
robust,
an
inclusive
process
for
appointing
counsel
appointees,
and
we
need
to
have
people
understand
how
the
mayor
makes
his
appointments
as
well.
L
P
Our
fathers
without
Thank
You
councillor,
Cameron
I,
you
know
I,
definitely
understand
the
concerns
that
are
being
brought
up
from
the
council
council,
vice-president
and
customer
McConnell,
but
I
do
feel
like
this.
Is
the
dis
request.
I
I
am
questioning
the
earnestness
of
this
request,
because
I
think
this
is
a
part
of
a
campaign
to
really
spread
a
lot
of
misinformation
about
what's
happening
with
public
housing.
P
We
can
have
that
debate,
but
I
think
that
this,
the
conversation
that
was
had
at
that
rally
was
not
very
helpful
and
and
there's
a
lot
of
misinformation
being
spread
there
and,
and
so
so
yeah
I
saw
I
feel
like
I'm
gonna,
go
ahead
and
vote
for
these
appointments.
I,
don't
see
the
use
in
delaying
and
I'm
happy
to
follow
up
with
these
neighborhood
groups,
but
I
also
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
purposefully
or
accidentally
sort
of
furthering
or
co-signing
a
campaign
that
I
believe
is
designed
to
spread
some
misinformation.
P
J
J
Sometimes
our
communities
don't
have
the
privilege
to
be
able
to
mobilize
at
faster
rates
because
they
have
other
priorities
that
are
pressing
on
their
plates.
My
intent
is
not
to
fear
monger
here
or
to
attack
anyone
in
C
peds
Department.
If
you
read
the
letter
which
you
can
open
up
in
your
email
right
now,
it
was
sent
at
8:05
a.m.
and
it's
strictly
a
question
about
process
and
racial
equity
and
wondering
why
or
how
specific
individual
is
being
reappointed
to
the
body
since
they
have
been
serving
on
this
body
for
a
very,
very
long
time.
J
So
I
don't
think
from
what
I
can
tell
on
this
letter.
I,
don't
think,
there's
a
nefarious
intent
about
some
sort
of
campaign
against
public
housing
or
anything
like
that.
Given
I
think
the
sensitivity
of
the
issues
we
have
seen
in
the
news
and
in
other
awards
that
have
involved
fires
and
that
have
involved
housing
campaigns
to
you,
know
that
that
come
to
us
regularly
and
via
email
I
think
it
would
be
prudent
for
us
to
pause,
engage
this
community
and
just
get
more
input
in
it
from
them.
J
As
to
this
appointment,
I
cannot
tell
you
what
the
outcome
of
this
action
is
going
to
be.
It
would
be
wrong
for
me
to
have
a
predetermined
outcome
for
pulling
this
item
out
and
saying.
We
need
to
have
this
conversation
with
the
mayor's
office
and
the
10
neighbourhood
associations
that
just
submitted
this
letter.
So
I
cannot
speak
to
whether
or
not
the
appointment
process
is
going
to
change.
Whether
the
nominees
who
are
brain
being
brought
forward
are
going
to
change,
but
I
can
guarantee
you
that
more
conversations
are
going
to
be
more
beneficial
versus
less.
A
F
A
L
You,
madam
president,
I
just
wanted
to
go
back
to
the
inclusionary
zoning.
Since
again,
it
seems
like
this
is
a
place
where
we're
talking
about
it.
I
just
want
to
thank
so
much.
Those
of
my
colleagues
who
have
led
on
this
policy
I
wasn't
entirely
sure
about
it,
because
I'm
not
deeply
in
that
sort
of
work
in
my
day
to
day
work
that
I
do
as
a
council
member
and
as
a
policy
maker
I,
really
appreciate
the
level
of
the
depth
of
data
of
the
evidence-based
decisions
that
are
being
made.
L
The
structure
of
it
any
concern
that
I
had
going
into
approving
this
was
alleviated.
Grassroots
solutions,
I
think,
is
an
ideal
partner
in
this
work
to
be
able
to
have
both
a
progressive
lens,
as
well
as
marrying
that
with
concrete
data,
and
so
this
is
something
that
I
am
happy
and
excited
to
support
and
I'm.
Just
so
grateful
for
the
level
of
leadership
that
has
been
demonstrated
with
this
work,
because
it's
it
was
so
thorough.
L
It
really
addressed
any
concern
that
I
would
have
had
I
feel
like
a
lot
of
my
community
would
have
had
it's
clearly
laid
out,
and
so
I
am
grateful
to
my
colleagues
for
this
and
I'm
happy
to
support
it.
I
will
say
in
my
ward
that
I
don't
imagine
that
this
is
going
like
a
huge
impact
in
my
war,
since
we
have
low
density
and
so
as
we're
looking
forward
over
the
next
18
months
of
evaluating
this
policy.
O
You
mentor,
president
councilmember
Cunningham,
absolutely
I,
think
the
does
seem
to
be
where
we're
talking
about
inclusionary
zoning,
so
I'll
kind
of
finish
up
my
comments,
but
we're
in
housing
crisis,
and
that
means
we
don't
necessarily
have
all
the
options
we'd
like
and
so
I'm
really
proud
of
this
policy.
It
takes
into
account
our
current
market.
What
we
think
will
be
the
future
market,
but
it
also
leaves
room
for
growth.
This
is
something
that's
important
to
every
single
one
of
our
wards.
O
We
need
to
make
sure
the
folks
that
are
living
here
could
able
to
continue
that
that
we're
able
to
welcome
new
folks
as
people
grow
in
their
lives
and
grow
in
their
housing
needs.
We
need
to
have
our
housing
reflect
that
I'm
again
with
this
policy,
is
a
great
first
step
and
I'm
really
excited
to
see
how
this
works
out.
O
We
will
be
re-evaluating
that's
built
into
the
policy
to
rego
through
the
data
and
make
sure
that
it
is
having
the
effect
we
want,
but
on
that-
and
that
said
you
know-
there's
a
lot
of
people
to
thank
I.
First
and
foremost,
just
want
to
thank
the
city.
Staff
like
this
was
something
that
was
very
hard
to
really
come
to,
and
they
put
in
a
lot
of
hours
a
lot
of
extra
hours
to
make
this
work,
and
so
my
thanks
go
to
a
lot
of
all
the
seedbed
staff.
O
Also
kind
of
leave
some
of
this
for
the
council
president
as
well,
but
I
also
want
to
thank
kind
of
our
respective
staffs.
Are
the
linemen
in
my
this
Indiana
in
your
office,
who
just
put
in
so
many
hours
to
make
sure
that
councilmembers
concerns
and
comments
were
built
in
to
this
policy
to
make
sure
that
this
is
something
we're
getting
one
voice
going
to
really
set
as
a
kind
of
housing
principle
for
the
Minneapolis
going
forward.
Thank
you.
Thank.
F
A
So
this
item
is
the
unified
housing
policy
portion
of
inclusionary
zoning,
which
is
partnered
with
item
7
from
the
zoning
and
planning
committee
agenda,
which
is
the
zoning
ordinance
components
of
inclusionary.
Zoning
I
am
also
thrilled
that
we'll
be
starting
the
next
decade
with
affordable
housing
baked
into
new
housing
projects.
I've
spent
half
of
this
last
decade
bringing
this
policy
forward
building
support
along
with
advocates.
So
on
a
personal
note,
I
mean
I'm
thrilled
that
we're
here
ready
to
vote
on
it.
You
know
I,
think
staff
and
granite
solutions.
A
First
came
to
Minneapolis
in
2015
or
16
and
met
with
every
single
member
of
that
City
Council.
Introducing
this
idea
talking
about
how
inclusionary
zoning
was
one
tool
to
build,
affordable
housing
in
a
growing
city
and
I'm,
not
sure
we
really
have
the
support
we
needed
to
pass
a
policy,
then
so
I
really
want
to
thank
all
of
you
for
being
here
for
bringing
to
City
Hall
the
value
of
creating
inclusive
communities.
A
I
want
to
thank
the
advocates
from
the
homes
for
all
coalition,
and
so
many
folks,
our
constituents,
members
of
the
public
in
Minneapolis,
who
asked
us
time
and
time
and
time
again
as
we
were,
knocking
on
their
doors
and
calling
them
on
the
phone
telling
us
that
affordable
housing
was
one
of
their
number-one
priorities
for
our
city
and
that
we
shouldn't
grow
in
a
way
that
is
leaving
folks
behind
you
know.
Inclusionary
zoning
is
one
tool.
It
isn't
going
to
get
us
the
very
deepest
levels
of
affordability
that
we
really
need
to
help.
A
Folks
who
are
in
danger
of
experiencing
homelessness
are
coming
out
of
homelessness.
We
need
and
have
other
tools
for
the
for
that
for
those
parts
of
our
goals,
but
this
will
help
us
make
sure
that,
when
neighborhoods
aren't
growing
very
quickly
when
new
housing
comes
in,
that
it
pollutes
affordability
within
it
and
I
think
that
piece
of
creating
inclusive
neighborhoods
is
so
critical.
A
We
built
the
policy
so
that
developers
do
have
choices
and
options,
including
paying
in
and
Luffy,
but
we
structured
it
so
that
they
were
incentivized
to
build
those
units
on-site
and
when
I
think
about
places
that
have
grown
rapidly,
including
in
Ward
10.
Looking
back
over
this
past
decade,
I
wish
we
had
had
this
policy
in
place
because
we
would
have
thousands
of
affordable
housing
units
in
those
neighborhoods
that
are
becoming
the
least
affordable
to
folks.
A
People
they're
missing:
it's
missing
a
lot
of
working
people
in
our
community
that
we
need
to
continue
to
build
policy
for,
and
around
I
want
to
thank
our
staff,
Andrea
Brennan
and
her
team,
who
put
so
many
hours
into
this.
It
is
a
complex
policy
and
we
tasked
them
with
making
sure
our
staff
with
making
sure
that
a
policy
like
this
wouldn't
stop
growth
because,
first
of
all,
we
need
housing
in
our
city.
A
Our
city
is
growing
and
we
have
a
housing
shortage
and
because
this
tool,
more
importantly,
requires
new,
affordable
housing
new
before
new
housing
to
come
in,
so
that
some
of
it
can
be
affordable.
It's
working
to
leverage
private
investment
to
build,
affordable
housing.
So
if
we
built
0no
units
next
year,
we
would
have
zero
new,
affordable
housing
from
this
tool.
So
they
struck
a
good
balance,
I
think
in
the
future
we
may
be
able
to
push
this
policy
farther
I.
A
All
over
us
there's
been
an
incredible
amount
of
resistance
to
this
policy,
so
I
think
this
data-driven
approach,
the
care
that
staff
took
was
really
important,
but
I
also
think
that
a
lot
of
those
fearful
statements
were
unfounded
in
reality
and
that
we
need
to
be
brave
enough
to
make
policy
that
addresses
the
problems
with
the
status
quo
and
that,
if
we
are
too
concerned
about
making
change,
what
we're
really
doing
is
leaving
folks
out
of
our
growth.
So
I'm
glad
that
we
took
this
step.

Q
You,
madam
president,
I
wanted
to
speak
specifically
at
item
three-one
at
committee.
I
abstained
on
that
particular
item
just
to
spend
more
time.
Thinking
about
it.
It's
the
passage
of
the
ordinance
authorizing
Public
Works
to
have
the
authority
to
establish
speed
limits
for
city
streets
and
I,
really
also
want
to
say,
I
appreciate,
councilmember
Reich's
staff
directions,
which
art
items
three
two
and
three
three
on
there.
I
supported
those
staff
directions
and
I
still
do
I
believe.
Q
There's
opportunities
to
reduce
speed
limits
to
improve
public
safety
across
our
city
and
I
spoke
a
committee
about
my
own
experiences
as
a
pedestrian
almost
being
hit
multiple
times
in
the
last
year.
So
I
do
support
reducing
speed
limits.
To
be
candid.
I've
also
had
a
number
of
projects
in
my
ward
being
led
by
Public
Works
that
fell
short
on
expectations
on
community
engagement,
communication
timelines,
implementation
and
quality,
I'm,
confident,
director,
Hutchinson,
I'm,
confident
of
director
Hutchinson's
commitment
to
learning
from
those
instances
and
making
improvements.
I
also
believe
this.
Q
This
is
a
big
change
and
it's
important
that
it's
well
executed
and
that's
why
I
don't
feel
comfortable
effectively
approving
it
before
we
have
a
plan.
I
think
that's
putting
the
cart
before
the
horse,
so
I
will
be
voting
against
item
three
one
I
would
ask
the
president
if
that
needs
to
be
separated
out
or
if
the
clerk
can
just
take
take.
It
sounds
like
my
vote
on
that
and
I.
Think
I
also
might
be
the
only
one
voting
this
way
today.
So
I
do
want
to
say
that
I
hope
this
goes
really
well.
Q
A
Myself
in
queue
to
talk
about
this
item
as
well
as
item
13,
which
is
the
adoption
of
the
division,
zero
action
plan.
I
want
to
thank
Charak
for
your
leadership
on
this.
We
committed
to
a
vision,
zero
statement
in
2007,
and
that
was
to
eliminate
deaths
and
serious
injuries
from
traffic
crashes
in
our
streets
it
within
10
years.
I
think
this
is
an
achievable
goal.
Our
streets,
like
other
public
infrastructure,
our
water
systems,
are
places
where
government
has
a
lot
of
direct
control
over
what
happens.
We
have
control
over
the
design
of
the
streets.
A
We
have
control
over
the
speed
limit
over
the
timing
of
our
signals
and
we
are
we've
inherited
decades
of
design
of
our
streets
for
cars.
Our
streets
have
often
been
designed
for
streets
to
speed
quickly
through
our
neighborhoods,
not
designed
for
the
people
who
are
walking
along
them,
living
on
them
and
enjoying
their
community
outside
of
vehicles,
and,
frankly,
we've
set
up
a
situation
where
people
are
not
safe,
traveling
through
our
city,
which
is
unacceptable,
and
we
have
the
responsibility,
the
authority
and
the
possibility
of
making
change
again.
A
Knowing
how
much
work
is
ahead
of
us,
because
of
so
many
decades
of
engineering
for
cars,
I
think
the
vision.
Zero
action
plan
is
a
really
meaningful
step.
Like
all
plans,
it
will
require
implementation.
It
will
require
us
to
fund
changes.
It
will
require
us
to
take
action
and
be
bold.
I
think
that
Public
Works
is
taking
a
really
careful,
citywide
data-driven
approach
to
this,
which
will
make
it
sustainable
and
lasting
for
a
long
time
and
building
both
public
and
political
support.
A
The
speed
limit
ordinance
is
also
a
result
of
many
many
years
of
work
lobbying
at
the
Capitol
for
our
right
of
the
city
to
set
our
own
speed
limits.
We're
behind
other
cities
in
this
because
of
the
state
of
Minnesota
did
not
allow
us
to
tap.
Have
that
control
over
our
local
streets
until
very
recently
and
like
st.
Paul.
A
To
look
at
this
issue
because,
like
I
said,
cities
around
the
country
are
having
a
lot
of
success
with
lowing
their
speed
limits,
and
this
allows
Public
Works
to
go
out
and
do
this
study
that
is
required
by
that
state
law
and
then
come
back
with
a
recommendation
for
speed
limit
changes.
It
does
put
that
final
decision
within
the
City
Engineer
with
feedback
from
the
public
and
the
council,
so
I
recognize
and
understand.
Customer
Jonathan's
concerns
with
that
particular
item.
A
B
You,
madam
president,
and
I,
think
you
very
thoroughly
captured
the
spirit
of
the
work.
That's
gone
into
it
to
date,
the
notion
of
how
we
want
to
move
forward
and
the
work
that
will
be
entailed
in
the
implementation,
because
the
proof
will
be
in
how
we
execute
I
think
you
captured
that
very
well.
I
will
note
that
I
have
a
fair
amount
of
confidence
in
taking
on
those
challenges
and
having
an
effective
implementation,
and
it's
sourced
in
two
areas,
I
mean
we
have
an
award-winning
nationally
recognized
department.
B
Not
only
is
it
bold
in
what
it
tries
to
do,
it's
very
effective
and
when
it
gets
around
to
doing
it
and
I
think
we
have
many
many
examples
where
other
communities
come
in,
to
see
what
we're
doing
and
how
we
did
it
as
a
department.
But
I
also
have
a
lot
of
confidence,
because
you
can
work
through
a
lot
of
conflicts
and
issues
when
you
have
a
really
thought
well
thought
through
plan,
and
that
plan
is
deeply
informed
by
community
stakeholders
and
policymakers
and
I
have
to
give
a
nod
to
mr.
B
Ethan
Folly,
who
really
put
together
all
that
input
so
thoroughly
and
so
thoughtfully,
and
with
a
clarity
of
concision
that
actually
it's
very
easy
to
explain
to
the
public,
who
may
have
not
participated
in
the
input
of
where
we're
going,
but
to
explain
why
we're
doing
it
in
the
first
place
and
to
have
that
work
gives
me
great
confidence
that
we
can
do
that.
Communication
work
as
policymakers
and
leaders
in
our
community,
but
also
that
will
give
strong
direction
to
the
people
who
do
the
implementing
out
on
the
streets
themselves.

Thank

forward
eight
items

through

O
South
number,
four:
are
the
appointments
to
the
Arts
Commission
number.
Five
is
the
passage
of
a
resolution
for
a
local
dozen
eating
a
local
historic
landmark
at
the
Oakland
apartments
at
213,
ninth
Street
South.
One
thing
I
want
to
say
is
just
kind
of
my
appreciation
for
this.
I'll
leave
a
lot
of
the
comments
for
councilmember
Goodman,
but
it
is
worth
noting
that
this
was
a
property
that
was
designated
for
for
demolition,
that,
through
the
work
of
a
lot
of
people
over
a
lot
of
time,
is
now
being
designated
as
a
historic
landmark.
O
So
I
think
that
that's
amazing
that
we're
able
to
do
that
in
the
city
moving
on
to
number
six,
it's
a
passage
of
enormous
on
occupancy
regulations.
Number
seven
is
the
passage
of
the
the
zoning
parts
of
the
inclusionary
zoning
regulations.
I'll
talk
to
that
after
the
end
of
my
report
and
finally,
the
number
eight
is
the
granting
of
appeal
at
forty
one.
O
O
Sure,
just
a
lot
of
the
thunders
been
that
said
on
the
inclusionary
zoning
in
the
housing,
but
I
did
want
to
just
take
this
opportunity
because
everything's
kind
of
been
said
just
this
is
a
thank
you
council,
president,
like
as
it
was
a
housing
advocate
before
coming
here,
and
we
have
a
saying
that
you
know
everybody's
for
affordable
housing
till
it
moves
in
next
door
or
you
have
to
pay
for
it
and
what
I?
What
that
really
means?
Is
you
really
have
to
have
a
harder
conversation
about
affordable
housing?
O
You
have
to
get
into
the
specifics,
and
that
doesn't
happen
unless
people
work
at
it
and
and
thanks
to
you
that
happened,
inclusionary
zoning
really
gets
to
what
it
means
to
have
affordability,
what
it
means
to
keep
people
in
their
homes
what
it
means
to
offer
opportunities
for
people
to
really
be
able
to
own
their
own
home.
So
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
that.
It's
been
an
honor
to
work
with
you
and
look
forward
to
working
in
the
future.
K
You
manager
I
just
want
to
make
a
few
comments
on
item
number.
Five
and
I
see
a
lot
of
people
smiling,
which
makes
me
smile,
because
if
you
are
unfamiliar
with
the
story
a
few
years
back,
there
was
a
very
tragic
fire
at
the
Auckland
apartments,
which
is
located
downtown
amidst
a
sea
of
surface
parking,
lots
standing
as
a
beacon
is
one
of
the
remaining
original
lock-up
apartment
buildings
built
way
back
in
an
era
where
the
city
was
filled
with
buildings.
K
Just
like
that,
and
we
were
faced
with
whether
or
not
we
would
agree
with
the
fire
inspections
Department's
determination
that
the
building
should
be
demolished
as
a
result
of
the
fire
and
I.
Remember
at
that
time,
staff
said
to
me
we're
not
going
to
be
able
to
find
anyone.
Who's
gonna,
take
this
on
the
property
owner
said
no
one
will
give
me
the
half-million
dollars.
K
I
think
my
property
is
worth
especially
knowing
that
it's
at
amongst
a
sea
of
surface
parking,
probably
making
it
more
valuable
in
order
to
acquire
an
entire
block
within
downtown
I,
had
the
good
fortune
to
work
with
two
young
men
in
my
ward,
who
had
preserved
300
Clifton
they're
here
today,
will
you
stand
up
John
and
norm?
You
don't
have
to
videotape
everything
John.
K
And
beautifully
restored
300
Clifton
and
the
Loring
Park
neighborhood
and
I
made
a
call
and
I
said
to
them.
I
know
you
guys
are
really
busy
with
making
300
Clifton
even
more
fabulous,
but
would
you
be
interested
potentially
and
taking
on
this
building
and
they
jumped
at
the
opportunity
and
they
literally
scrounged
up
the
money
to
buy
the
building
and
ever
since,
for
about
a
year,
have
been
working
themselves.
K
I
want
to
make
this
clear
that
John
and
norm
are
in
there
literally
dealing
with
the
burned
out
structure
this
roof
and
they
have
personally
gotten
their
hands
dirty.
Restoring
this
building
may
have
an
incredible
Facebook
page
called
the
Oakland's
on
9th
I
would
urge
everyone
to
take
a
look
at
it.
It
documents
on
a
day-to-day
basis,
what's
happening,
it
also
documents,
quite
frankly,
on
a
day-to-day
basis.
K
All
of
the
problems
they've
had
with
the
city
and
all
of
the
kind
of
cross
information
they
get
from
the
building
officials
and
the
zoning
officials,
and
they
have
worked
through
it
and
I.
Think
it's
absolutely
incredible.
It
is
unheard
of
that
in
the
middle
of
a
construction
project.
Someone
would
ask
us
to
designate
they're
building
an
historic
landmark
and
that's
why
we're
here
today,
because
they've
asked
us
to
designate
this
building.
K
It
clearly
meets
the
criteria
for
designation
and,
as
we've
said
in
the
past
and
noted
in
zoning
and
planning,
many
of
the
units
that
they
are
putting
into
this
project
will
be
naturally
occurring,
affordable,
housing.
Another
thing,
no
one
would
do
they
would
turn
around
and
make
them
into.
You
know:
half
half
in
half
on
each
side
of
the
building
luxury
flats,
in
a
beautiful
historic
building,
instead
they're
putting
in
about
twenty
twenty
four
units.
Back
to
the
last
configuration
they've
been
in
touch
with
people
who
have
lived
in
the
building
prior
to
the
fire.
K
You
know
we
saw
Aldo
Maroni
honored
this
morning
for
the
incredible
work
that
he
did
and
has
continues
to
do.
Building
our
community.
There
are
many
unsung
heroes
in
the
city
who
stepped
forward,
and
the
reason
I
rise
to
speak
to
this
issue
is
to
thank
them
and
your
team
of
wonderful
people
online
and
in
person
who
have
become
unsung
heroes
in
the
fight
for
historic
preservation
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis.
You
can
see
all
the
smiles
up
here.
People
are
really
proud
of.
You.
I
am
proud
to
know
you
and
I.
A
Myself,
thank
you.
I
just
wanted
to
speak
briefly.
First
of
all,
this
is
so
exciting.
The
designation
of
this
landmark
and
thanks
to
councillor
McCrimmon
for
your
leadership,
that's
I,
think
it's
a
good
example
of
the
one
of
the
things
that
council
members
do,
which
is
connecting
people
to
problems
in
our
communities,
and
we
get
to
know
them,
especially
serving
for
a
longer
period
of
time
in
in
the
in
a
seed.
You
really
get
to
know
the
community.
A
You
get
to
know
who
to
call
when
there's
a
problem,
and
it's
a
great
story
of
that
too.
So
for
item
number
six
I
just
wanted
to
note
that
we
are
today
taking
occupancy
limits
out
of
our
zoning
code.
This
is
a
remnant
of
exclusionary
zoning
practices
that
I'm
very
glad
is
ending
with
this.
A
So
thank
you
for
everyone's
support
on
that
and
then
item
number
seven
inclusionary
zoning
I
swear
I
was
going
to
do
this
anyway,
but
I
really
did
want
to
thank
the
chair.
Councilmember
Schrader
for
all
of
your
work
on
this
I
was
getting
a
little
tired
after
so
many
years
of
working
on
this
and
corporate
raiders
energy
really
helped
reinforce
done
you're
doing
such
a
good
job
of
chairing
this
committee,
which
is
very
complexed,
I,
know
the
chair
of
the
zoning
and
Planning
Commission's
many
many
hours
in
the
evening
at
Planning
Commission
meetings.
A
In
addition
to
all
of
the
other
work
that
we
do
in
communities
and
representing
Ward
11,
which
doesn't
have
a
lot
of
development
where
development
that
may
seem
commonplace
in
other
Ward's,
it
would
be
very
controversial.
I
think
you're
striking
a
really
great
balance
of
representing
your
award
and
your
constituents,
but
also
bringing
that
citywide
value
and
helping
all
of
us
accommodate
growth
in
our
communities
that
look
different
from
from
the
war
that
you
represent.
A
H
K
A
E
A
J
A
Cameos
in
the
matter
of
the
reappointment
of
David
Frank
to
the
Charter
position
of
Director
of
Community
Planning
and
economic
development
over
referred
to
the
Committee
of
the
whole
and
the
first
regular
cycle
of
January
for
setting
of
the
public
hearing,
as
required
under
the
City
Council
charter
of
the
city,
come
city
charter
and
council
rules.
The
introduction
and
referral
calendar
is
our
next
order
of
business.
A
We
do
have
one
introduction
to
process
this
morning
pursuant
to
prior
notice,
councilmember
Goodman
moves
to
introduce
gift
for
Sweden
to
and
refer
to,
the
zoning
and
planning
committee,
the
subject
matter
of
an
ordinance
related
to
parkland
dedication,
specifically
modifying
the
definition
of
affordable
housing
units
to
address
inclusionary
zoning
units
and
projects
using
income
averaging.
Are
there
any
questions
about
that
introduction,
see
none
all
in
favor,
say
aye
aye
opposed,
say
no
that
carries
and
the
subject
matter
will
refer
to
the
zoning
and
planning
committee
in
the
next
in
the
first
cycle
of
January.
A
The
next
order
is
resolutions,
and
we
do
have
the
honor
a
resolution
for
Aldo
Maroni.
Are
there
any
further
comments
from
Council
members
about
that
very
touching
resolution?
From
earlier
in
the
meeting,
seeing
then
all
in
favor
say
aye
any
opposed
say
no
that
carries
and
the
resolution
is
adopted.
Finally,
we
have
the
order
of
announcements
before
I
call
on
others.
I
do
want
to
just
pause
and
thank
you
all
so
much
for
such
an
extraordinary
year.
This
council
is
working
incredibly
hard
and
we
are
getting
so
much
done.
A
We
are
halfway
through
the
term
and
I
am
regularly
daily
honored
to
serve
with
all
of
you.
You
are
incredible
leaders,
not
just
here
in
Minneapolis,
but
around
the
country.
More
and
more
folks
are
looking
to
Minneapolis
and
to
all
of
you
as
leaders,
we're
sharing
our
work
around
the
country
sometimes
around
the
world,
and
we
should
be
proud
of
that.
I
encourage
you
all
to
take
those
opportunities
to
share
your
voice
when
you're
asked
to
I
think
it's
important
for
our
city,
we're
starting
to
recruit
and
bring
really
exciting
talent
from
around
the
country.
A
I
think
it's
helping
us
diversify
our
staff
and
diversify
the
leadership
within
our
city
Enterprise.
So
thank
you
all
for
all
of
the
work
that
you
are
doing.
Thank
you
to
our
clerk
and
your
staff.
You
are
helping
us
accelerate
change
in
our
city,
you're
working
with
us
to
I,
sometimes
I,
think
creatively
and
maybe
bend
our
rules
or
expand
them
or
redefine
them,
and
you
do
it
with
so
much
humor
and
grace,
and
we
really
appreciate
all
of
the
hours
you
spend
often
into
the
evening.
A
Often
you
know
at
the
last
minute
and
thank
you
so
much
for
your
flexibility
and
your
support.
All
of
the
clerk's
staffer
I've
been
really
amazing
and
then
to
our
department,
directors
and
their
staff.
Again,
we
have
challenged
our
city
departments
to
think
differently
about
how
we're
running
the
city
and
we
have
high
expectations.
We
put
them
on
ourselves
first,
but
we
are
really
challenging
staff
to
step
up
to
think
big
to
think
differently
to
bring
forward
bold
ideas,
I
think
sometimes
they
feel
like.
A
We
don't
see
and
appreciate
all
the
work
we
are
doing
and
we
do
I
think
we're
operating
with
a
sense
of
urgency
because
we
hear
it
from
the
public
and
from
our
community
and
again
you
are
all
rising
to
the
occasion
as
well,
and
we
appreciate
your
work.
I
hope
you
get
to
take
a
little
break
from
us
so
that
you're
ready
to
come
back
next
year.
It's
like
for
round
three
of
year,
three
of
our
term.
So
thank
you
all
I
know
others
may
want
to
speak
and
councilmember
Cunningham
I'll.
L
Just
say
briefly
that
I'm
so
grateful
that
I
get
to
end
this
decade
as
a
councilmember
and
working
alongside
all
of
you,
as
as
well
as
all
of
the
city
staff
I
feel
very
blessed
and
honored
to
be
ending
the
decade
this
way
and
opening
up
to
the
next
one
in
this
role
and
I
also
would
like
to
defer
again
to
my
colleague
from
the
North
Side
councillor
Allison.
That's.
P
So
yeah,
yes,
very
hot
brand,
so
speaking
of
thanks
thanking
the
clerk
I'd
do
one
extended
thanks
to
the
clerk

reminded
me

Tuesday
February
4th,
so
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
folks
have
that
information
coming
up,
and
that's
all
thank
you.
Thank.
E
I
too
want
to
just
echo
how
enormous
Lee,
proud
I
am
to
be
a
part
of
this
body
and
to
work
with
my
really
I
think
thoughtful
and
committed
colleagues,
as
we
in
this
this
decade
and
move
into
the
next,
with
what
I
think
one
of
the
most
progressive
budgets
that
the
city
has
has
passed
as
well
as
a
number
of
items,
including
inclusionary
zoning
and
tenant
protections
and
vision.
Zero.
E
All
these
things
that
are
intended
to
help
us
really
realize
the
the
potency
of
the
2040
comprehensive
plan
that
we
pass,
and
so
my
thanks
to
all
of
you
to
all
of
our
staff
I
particularly
want
to
thank
mr.
Roth,
who
stepped
into
the
coordinators
position
and
the
interim
basis
at
one
of
the
busiest
times
of
our
work
cycle.
And
so
he
is
to
be
commended
for
for
helping
to
guide
us
through
this
work
and
just
on
a
more
global
note.
E
Always
in
in
a
state
of
potential
imbalance-
and
we
all
have
to
work
to
the
best
of
our
abilities,
to
make
this
American
experiment
and
that's
exactly
what
it
is
to
work
every
day
and
I.
Think
we
all
as
citizens
of
this
country
and
particularly
as
elected
officials,
have
a
duty
to
to
that
responsibility.
C
So
I'm
very
proud
of
the
work
that
we've
done
and
just
want
to
take
a
moment
to
appreciate
all
thirteen
of
our
offices,
council
staff,
who
have
been
so
so
critical
in
making
that
work,
happen.
Dave
and
Noreen
in
my
office
are
doing
a
terrific
job,
but
I
know
they
can't
do
the
work
that
they
do
without
all
of
the
great
relationships
and
the
great
collaboration
among
all
of
our
offices
and
I
just
want
to
appreciate
all
of
the
work
from
from
city
staff
and
especially
from
our
council
staff.
C
A
Concludes
our
announcements
and
we've
concluded
our
business
before
the
council.
We
do
have
to
close
session
items
which
are
on
the
printed
agenda,
which
I
never
have
but
I
like
to
read.
If
I
can
Yvonne
Edwards
versus
a
city
in
the
Atlas
and
then
the
litigation
matter
of
Keith
Daniel
versus
a
city
Minneapolis,
so
I'll
recognize
a
motion
to
adjourn
to
that
closed
session.
