Description
Minneapolis City Council Meeting
A
Good
morning,
everyone
I'm
Lisa
bender
I'm,
the
president
of
the
Minneapolis
City
Council
and
I,
want
to
welcome
you
all
today.
Before
we
start
the
official
agenda,
we
have
two
important
resolutions
so
for
the
first
one,
I'll
turn
it
over
to
councilmember
Cano
to
lead
us
in
honoring.
Today,
as
the
day
of
kindness
and
compassion
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis.
Thank.
B
You
good
morning,
everyone
when
is
Leah's.
Thank
you
so
much
for
being
here,
and
so
what
we'll
do
here
is
the
council
members
will
share
reading
the
resolution
and
then,
after
that,
we
will
share
the
mic
with
the
community
leaders.
So
you
can
also
address
the
community
of
Minneapolis
and
Minnesota
in
our
country.
D
F
Now,
therefore,
be
it
resolved
that
the
mayor
in
the
city
council
do
hereby
declare
March
31st
2019
to
be
designated
as
day
of
kindness
and
compassion
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis.
That
the
city
of
Minneapolis
is
committed
to
promoting
kindness
as
a
core
value
in
fostering
a
culture
of
being
kind
to
one
another,
and
that
the
city
of
Minneapolis
will
continue
to
implement.
Programs
that
encourage
all
employees
and
residents
to
embrace
kindness
and
compassion.
G
G
His
Holiness,
the
Dalai
Lama
said
kindness,
is
the
education
of
heart
and
has
no
expenses,
but
major
benefit
studies.
Show
ability
to
self-regulate
in
early
childhood,
predicts
better
results
later
in
life
with
health,
education,
financial
stability,
thanks
to
his
Holiness,
the
Dalai,
Lama's
vision
and
challenge
to
educators,
scientists
and
world
leaders.
Many
u.s.
preschoolers
are
introducing
kindness
curriculum
in
their
schools,
kindness,
curriculum
created
by
center
for
healthy
minds.
The
University
of
Wisconsin,
applied
to
preschoolers
in
metropolitan
school
district
is
reported
as
showing
signs
of
caring
patience
among
children.
G
G
Act
of
kindness
does
not
have
to
be
big
and
we
can
start
with
small
acts
of
kindness
among
leaders,
office
and
doing
community
involvements
with
need
for
extra
funding.
Our
committee
here
in
Minnesota
look
forward
to
building
such
collaboration,
work
and
I
feel
this
is
the
start
of
such
collaboration
with
the
city
recognizing
March
31st.
As
day
of
kindness
and
compassion.
G
G
H
Good
morning
my
name
is
Jimmy
and
I'm
here
on
behalf
of
the
Tibetan
community
in
Minnesota.
First
of
all,
thank
you
all
for
being
here.
Thank
you
to
the
council
Minneapolis
council.
Whenever
you
do
move
resolutions
like
that,
it
creates
a
benchmark
for
cities
and
governments
across
the
world,
and
today,
when
you
move
this
resolution,
you're
actually
creating
something,
that's
extremely
historic.
H
It
had
been
10
years
since
the
Chinese
had
occupied
Tibet,
but
on
March
10th
1959,
the
people
in
Tibet,
the
community,
the
locals
in
Tibet,
heard
that
there
was
a
plot
to
assassinate
his
holiness,
so
people
came
out
on
the
streets,
hundreds
and
thousands
to
shield
him
and
protect
him
and
what
ensured?
After
that
was
one
of
the
bloodiest
massacres
for
these.
The
the
capital
city
of
Lhasa,
thousands,
hundreds
and
thousands
of
people
was
as
a
killed
men,
women,
children,
any
and
all,
and
on
March
17th.
H
What
came
out
of
that
is
about
100,000
Tibetans
left
Tibet,
following
His
Holiness
into
a
foreign
land,
whether
they
did
not
speak
the
language.
They
did
not
know
the
culture
and
all
they
came
were
was
with
the
skin,
on
the
back
and
with
the
hope
of
his
holiness,
and
with
the
hope
that
the
world
will
embrace
these
refugees
coming
in
with
absolutely
zero
knowledge.
So,
as
we
sit
here
60
years
later,
this
is
a
sense
of
pride
as
refugees.
H
We
have
a
leader
who
has
who
is
the
Nobel
Peace
Laureate
who's
won
the
Templeton
award,
which
makes
him
the
only
surviving
being
on
this
planet.
Who's
won
a
Nobel,
Peace,
Prize
and
a
Templeton
and,
of
course,
he's
won
the
Congressional
Gold
Medal
and
his
vision
and
his
teachings
followed
across
the
world
and
the
Tibetans
have
become
one
of
the
one
of
the
best
settled
refugees
in
the
world
in
exile.
We
have
a
Tibetan
government-in-exile,
a
full
functioning
parliamentary
democracy
and
actually
they
are
in
the
last
day
of
session.
H
Today,
in
India
we
have
representatives
of
the
Dalai
Lama
across
the
world.
We
have
Tibetan
schools
in
all
part,
including
here
in
Minnesota
all
because
for
us
it's
about
upholding
our
identity,
our
culture,
which
is
being
destroyed
every
day,
as
we
speak
our
language.
So,
under
the
grace
of
his
holiness
and
his
vision,
we
have
been
able
to
protect
that
in
diaspora.
We
are
only
150,000,
that's
all
the
Tibetans
in
diaspora
in
exile.
H
So
when
a
day
like
this
happens,
it
marks
for
our
community
in
a
level
that
is
unfathomable,
it's
so
big
and
for
the
Tibetans
six
million
Tibetans
in
Tibet,
who
are
suffering
every
day
under
a
brutal
regime.
It
gives
them
hope
that
one
they
might
be
able
to
be
reunited
with
His
Holiness,
the
Dalai
Lama,
so
we're
really
on
behalf
of
the
community.
Thank
the
city,
all
the
council
members
for
making
this
happen.
H
A
Thank
you
so
much
and
as
I
said
earlier
in
the
celebration,
this
resolution
is
a
way
of
celebrating
the
kindness
and
compassion
compassion
and
the
message
of
the
Dalai
Lama,
which
you
will
hear
in
our
vision
and
mission
for
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
which
we
are
about
to
dops
later
in
this
meeting.
But
it
is
also
our
way
as
a
city
of
standing
up
against
the
oppression
of
the
Tibetan
people
and
in
solidarity
with
all
those
who
are
oppressed
around
the
world.
So
thank
you
for
your
leadership
and
in
our
community.
A
A
I
I
You
know
back
in
my
day
when
I
was
a
kid
there
was
this
thing
called
RIF,
Reading,
Is,
Fundamental
and
and
I'm
totally
dating
myself,
and
for
those
who
know
yes,
its
back
in
the
70s
and
the
notion
was
to
get
books
to
kids
where
they
are,
and
it
was
a
very
profound
program
actually,
and
they
did
a
lot
of
good,
actually
I
benefited
from
myself
personally.
But
what
we're
talking
about
today
is
profound
as
getting
books
and
literacy
to
where
people
are.
I
This
goes
several
steps
beyond
that.
It's
to
say
that
reading
and
literacy
is
about
a
holistic
approach
to
someone's
life.
It's
about
health,
and
so,
if
that's
true,
then
who
would
you
partner
with
to
deliver
literacy
opportunities
for
youth
and
get
books
to
kids?
Well,
why
not?
The
people
who
deliver
health?
I
I
I
So
with
that,
recognizing
the
book
in
City
day
reach
out
and
read,
is
a
nationwide
nonprofit
early
literacy
program
that
makes
books
accessible
to
children
at
their
regular
medical
check-ups
and
whereas
reach
out
read,
doctors
and
nurses
distribute
six
point:
five
million
bucks
to
more
than
five
million
children
in
their
families
and
Lea
and
five
point.
Five
thousand
pediatric
practices,
hospitals,
clinics
and
health
centers
in
all
50
states
targeting
those
centers
which
serve
children
at
socio-economic
risk,
so
they're
really
getting
it
where
it
used
to
be
if
I'm,
a
editorialize
and
for
almost
two
decades.
I
That's
a
big
deal.
We
are
the
first
we're
the
biggest
I
just
love
that
now.
Therefore,
it
be
resolved
that
the
mayor
in
the
city
council
do
hereby
honor
and
recognize
March,
29,
2019
book
and
city.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
So
much
and
please
tell
folks
what
you
do,
because
it's
I'm
just
sort
of
awed
by
what
you
do.
J
Thank
You
councilman
Reich,
my
council
member,
by
the
way
and
the
rest
of
the
City
Council
I'm,
dr.
Nathan,
tremolo
I'm,
a
pediatrician
and
internist
and
I'm
the
medical
director
of
reach
out
and
reach
Minnesota.
And
so
we
are
very
honored
to
have
this
we've
reached
out
in
our
book
and
City
day
in
Minneapolis,
and
it's
quite
apt
because
reach
out
and
read
has
existed
for
about
thirty
years.
J
Doctors
and
family
nurse
practitioners
to
give
them
the
tools
to
talk
about
how
important
it
is
to
read
with
your
children
every
day
how
it's
different
to
read
with
the
two-year-old
and
a
four-year-old
than
a
six
month
old
and
a
five
year
old,
and
then
it
partners
that,
with
a
developmentally
appropriate
book
and
often
a
culturally
appropriate
book
too,
we
have
books
in
over
10
different
languages
that
are
given
out
at
our
clinics.
And
so
you
know,
we
know.
J
Gaps
in
oral
vocabulary
have
been
shown
as
early
as
18
to
24
months
old
and
there's
evidence
that
children
from
low
socioeconomic
households
have
smaller
oral
vocabularies
and
their
peers,
starting
even
at
age
two,
and
that
oral
vocabulary
at
age.
Two
as
a
predictor
of
kindergarten,
academic
performance
and
behavioral
function.
So
children
who
aren't
read
to
in
that
first
thousand
days
of
life
have
an
increased
risk
of
growing
into
adults
who
are
illiterate
and
at
risk
for
worst.
Health
outcomes.
J
J
Our
children
are
placed
on
reach
out
and
reads
the
simple
healthcare
intervention,
but
it
meets
parents
and
families
were
they
at
instead
of
requiring
forms
or
subsidies
and
works
for
them
to
build
skills
they
already
have
by
becoming
a
book
and
city
of
Minneapolis
has
provided
every
child
and
parent
cared
for
within
their
city
limits.
The
ability
to
have
the
tools
to
write
their
own
story.
K
Thank
you
and
thank
you
for
this
resolution.
My
name
is
chris
haplin
and
I'm
the
executive
director
of
reach
out
and
read
Minnesota
I'll,
just
say
a
few
words
about
how
this
effort
came
about
two
years
ago,
we
decided
to
embark
on
this
journey
with
the
help
of
the
grotto
foundation,
who
offered
us
funding
to
start
this
effort,
and
the
first
thing
we
did
is
that
we
had
to
recruit
nine
clinics
in
Minneapolis
that
weren't
already
usually
using
reach
out
and
read.
K
So,
throughout
this
effort
we
recruited
nine
new
clinics.
We
had
over
250
medical
providers,
take
the
training
to
become
a
reach
out
and
read
practitioner,
and
these
medical
providers
gave
all
out
over
seventy
thousand
books
in
that
two-year
period,
and
they
will
of
course
be
continuing
this
to
into
the
future.
So
a
huge
thanks
to
the
the
medical
providers
and
the
staff
and
the
health
systems.
It
was
really
a
collaborative
effort
of
all
of
them,
stepping
up
in
deciding
that
this
was
really
important
for
Minneapolis
kids
to
have
this
program.
So
thank
you
and.
J
I
L
A
A
F
Moved
approval.
A
A
A
Approval,
please
say
aye
aye,
any
opposed,
say
no
that
carries
and
those
referrals
are
made.
The
next
order
of
business
is
reports
from
our
standing
committees,
beginning
with
the
report
of
the
Committee
of
the
Whole,
which
will
be
presented
by
councilmember
Cunningham
who's.
Vice
chair
of
that
committee.
Thank.
E
You,
madam
president,
the
committee
of
the
whole
brings
forward
two
items
for
approval
today.
The
first
is
approving
the
city's
vision
and
values,
and
the
second
is
the
passage
of
a
resolution
recognizing
the
2020
census.
Kick
off.
I
just
wanted
to
take
a
quick
moment
to
read
the
city's
vision,
mission
and
values.
The
first
the
vision
is
Minneapolis
is
an
intentionally
compassionate
city
where
each
of
us
can
reach
our
full
potential
while
caring
for
one
another,
eliminating
racial
disparities,
improving
our
environment
and
promoting
social
well-being.
E
We
lead
an
innovative
and
creative
ways,
focus
not
only
on
our
present
needs,
but
also
the
needs
of
future
generations.
Our
mission
is
ours.
Our
city
government
take
strategic
action
to
address
climate
change,
dismantle
institutional
injustice
and
close
disparities
in
health,
housing,
Public,
Safety
and
economic
opportunities.
A
partnership
with
residents,
city
leaders
helped
to
ensure
all
communities
thrive
in
a
safe
and
healthy
City.
E
M
A
The
word
smithing
and
details
of
a
mission
and
vision
that
reflected
the
overall
direction
of
the
council
and
the
mayor,
so
I
appreciate
so
much
the
work,
extra
work
that
went
into
that
and
and
I'm
excited
that
we
were
able
to
articulate
this
vision
and
mission
for
our
city.
Anything
else
on
that.
Seeing
none,
please
call
the
roll
council.
L
A
L
A
M
You,
madam
president,
the
economic
development
of
regulatory
Services
Committee
is
bringing
aid
items
forward
for
approval
this
morning.
Item
1
is
a
on
sale,
liquor
license
item
2
is
making
some
small
changes
in
our
rental.
License
dwelling
ordinance,
changes
for
billing
item
3,
there's
a
liquor
license
approvals
for
is
liquor,
license
renewals
and
that
takes
up
about
10
pages
and
then
five
is
business.
A
N
You,
madam
president,
the
elections
and
rules
committee
has
one
item
to
present,
but
before
that
I'll
just
say,
we
had
a
really
great
presentation
on
the
2018
midterm
elections
and
the
coming
election
as
well.
So
I
wanted
to
thank
the
clerk
casey
carl
for
giving
that
those
presentations,
the
elections
and
rules
committee
has
one
item
to
present,
which
is
the
confirming
the
city.
Clerk's
appointment
of
jackie
hansen
to
the
position
of
assistant
city
clerk
and
I
will
move
approval.
Approval
of
this
item.
A
A
A
O
You
very
much
president
bender,
the
housing
policy
and
Development
Committee
is
bringing
five
items
forward
for
consideration.
The
first
is
the
project
analysis,
authorization
for
Seward
comments;
phase
three
I'd
like
to
pull
that
up
for
discussion.
Second
item
is
project
analysis
for
the
fourteenth
in
central
mixed
use.
Development.
The
third
item
is
a
housing
policy
and
Development
Committee
work
plan.
There's
a
minor
technical
amendment
deleting
one
word
from
the
plan.
You
should
have
that
amendment
before
you,
if
it
if
it
needs
the
satisfaction
of
my
colleagues,
I'd
like
to
move
it
with
that
amendment.
O
The
fourth
item
is
an
interim
inclusionary
zoning
tax,
increment
financing
policy.
To
my
understanding
that
the
author's
want
to
delay
this
one
cycle,
so
I
will
be
moving
a
continuance,
and
the
fifth
item
is
adopting
an
updated
public
financial
assistance
fee
policy
to
assist
the
city
and
recovering
costs
related
to
the
provision
of
public
financial
assistance.
So
I'm
going
to
move
items
2
and
5
as
move
forward
and
I'm
going
to
move
to
continue
item
4
and
a
minor,
amended
diversion
of
item
3,
that's
not
clear.
We
can
pull
more
items,
Thank.
A
A
chair,
after
discussions
with
myself
and
councilmember
Schrader,
we
asked
the
chair
to
move
for
a
postponement
of
this
item
for
one
cycle,
I
think
the
council
and
then
my
discussions
would
overall
support
this
item,
which
is
financing
for
the
interim
inclusionary
zoning
ordinance
that
we
passed
December
along
with
a
comprehensive
plan.
But
we've
heard
some
concerns
from
folks
in
our
community
who
work
with
workers
who
build
the
buildings
and
our
housing
construction
community
I
think
they
have
some
overall
concerns
that
well,
this
ordinance.
A
This
financing
package
raises
are
really
a
broader
question
about
labor
policy
in
our
city,
so
we've
agreed
to
sit
down
with
them
and
just
talk
about
how
this
fits
into
the
overall
picture
of
some
work
that
councilmembers,
Fletcher
and
Palmisano
are
working
on
and
the
other
council
members
may
be
able
to
lead
in
the
future.
So,
thank
you,
mister,
chair
for
that
postponement
and
then
I'll
see
if
there's
any
other
discussion
on
items.
1
3,
4,
&,
5,
seeing
none
the
clerk.
Please
call
the
roll
council.
L
J
L
A
O
Like
to
speak
to
this
item,
I
understand
the
council.
Member
Warsaw
me
is
missing
today,
but
he's
asked
us
to
move
this
forward.
I.
Hopefully
everybody
got
the
email
from
him
earlier
and
so
I'm
going
to
move
approval
of
this
item.
If
folks
didn't
hear
council
member
Warsaw
me
is
unable
to
be
present
for
this
council
meeting
according
to
the
email
that
we
got
because
last
night
he
was
very
sick
and
he
wasn't
sleeping
due
to
a
migraine,
but
he
wanted
to
reiterate
his
vehement
support
for
the
Seward
comments
project.
O
He
believes
this
contributes
to
the
council's
goal
of
creating
affordable,
healthy
and
vibrant
neighborhoods
in
all
of
Minneapolis.
I
also
think
it's
appropriate
that
we
move
forward
with
this.
This
is
a
project
that's
been
going
on
for
for
a
while,
the
fact
there
is
a
development
agreement
about
this
and
there's
a
redevelopment
contract
and
in
that
contract
it
indicates
that
this
mix
of
uses
was
planned
from
the
beginning
and
in
the
redevelopment
contract
it
doesn't
promise
or
preclude
the
use
of
TIF
for
any
phase
of
the
project.
This.
O
This
is
the
third
phase
of
a
lengthy
redevelopment
project.
A
blended
REIT
large
redevelopment
project,
the
first
two
phases
have
been
100%
deeply:
affordable
housing,
including
supportive
housing.
When,
when
the
development
team
was
moving
forward
with
this
third
phase
and
they
came
forward,
I
asked
him
to
go
back
and
figure
out
how
they
could
deliver
at
least
20%
of
affordable
housing
in
Phase
three.
O
Originally,
there
was
a
hope
that
they
would
they
could
deliver
their
affordable
housing
in
other
phases.
Looking
at
the
city's
policy
reading
it
carefully,
it
was
clear
to
me,
and
also
in
discussions
with
staff,
that
no
we
needed
to
have
the
affordability
in
this
space,
so
they
went
back
and
they
worked.
They
found
other
partners
other
developers
and
they
came
back
in
with
a
phase
three
that
does
guarantees
with
20%
of
affordable
housing
and
even
beyond
that
staff
made
sure
to
work
on
that
and
put
that
requirement
into
the
into
into
the
agreement
moving
forward.
O
And
if
you
read
more
here
at
the
committee,
you
heard
the
report
and
we
have.
We
will
file
a
declaration
against
the
title
on
the
mod
egg
Commons
site,
which
is
the
site
where
the
affordable
housing
will
go.
That
requires
will
guarantee
well
demand
future
development
of
the
site
to
include
at
least
32
units
of
affordable
housing
at
60%
ami,
so
there
it
meets
the
policy
it's
ready
to
move
forward.
O
I
also
just
want
to
note
that
this
is
a
something
that's
enthusiastically
supported
by
the
neighborhood,
so
much
so
that
they
voted
as
a
neighborhood
organization
several
times,
including
just
this
week,
to
reaffirm
their
support
for
this
entire
project.
The
neighborhood
group
was
very
involved
in
the
initial
planning.
This
is
an
interesting
project
because
it's
not
your
typical
for-profit
developer.
That's
leading
this
project
coming
forward.
O
It's
a
community
development
operation,
that's
driven
by
a
mission
and
their
mission
is
to
work
with
the
community
in
the
neighborhood
so
that
they
can
bring
projects
that
are
supported
with
the
community,
and
this
community
embraced
touchtone,
supportive
housing.
They
did
serves
people
with
a
significant
mental
illness
issues
and
provides
the
support.
It's
actually
a
model,
I
think
it's
a
national
model
and
they
enthusiastically
supported
that
as
well
as
the
senior
affordable
housing
project
that
came
next
all
because
it
was
part
of
this
larger
redevelopment
bit.
O
They
think
and
I
believe
will
help
be
a
catalyst
for
finally
delivering
on
the
vision
that
the
city
has
for
the
light
rail
station
right
on
Franklin
Avenue
I'll
just
point
out
that
the
census
tract
this
is
in
has
685
subsidized
housing
units
right
now
and
the
median
household
income
is
$21,000,
so
this
will
be
significant
to
move
forward
there
and
if
we
don't
move
forward
on
this
project
now,
I
think
there'll
be
a
lot
of
things
in
question
about
what
will
come
come
next.
O
N
Thank
you,
president
I
think
I'm
really
concerned
about
the
project
having
the
affordability
coming
much
much
later
than
the
market
rate.
I.
Think
that
that's
what
gives
me
the
most
pause
in
this
project
I'm,
not
principally
against
the
project
or
tip
or
any
of
those
things
that
are
going
into
this,
but
the
fact
that
we're
gonna
have
the
affordability
coming
much
much
later.
I
know
that
that
if
this
was
in
my
ward,
I'd
be
really
concerned
with
that
or
about
those
things
falling
through
and
so,
and
so
I
won't
be
supporting
this
today.
N
But
I
do
appreciate
the
efforts
that
the
developer
put
in
and
I
would
love
to
be
able
to
support
this
project
if
it
came
up
and
said
that
we're
gonna
be
building
the
affordable
housing
at
the
same
time
as
the
market
rate
housing.
That
would
that
would
give
me
a
lot
more
comfort
and
feel
like
we're,
not
just
dumping
a
bunch
of
subsidy
into
a
market
rate
project.
So
thank.
A
If
council
members
have
concerns
and
finding
a
way
to
at
least
allow
the
project
to
continue
and
to
allow
to
support
the
leadership
of
council
members
Gordon
and
more
Sami
who's
for
this
is
in
and
used
to
be
in.
We
don't
always
support
the
council
members
for
projects
and
their
awards
and
their
perspective
in
position.
A
We
always
take
into
account
our
citywide
perspective
and
the
city's
overall
needs,
but
often
we
do
take
into
careful
consideration
the
perspective
of
folks
who
represent
the
community
directly
and
that's
why
it
was
important
to
me
to
speak
with
councilmember
Warsaw
me
in
his
office
directly
and
I.
Do
think.
A
If
you
take
phases
three
and
four
together
does
this
meet
our
policy?
Yes,
it
does.
If
you
take
the
whole
of
the
project
together,
which
had
the
affordable
housing
come
first
in
the
first
two
buildings,
it
far
exceeds
our
policies.
So
the
question
is:
if
council
members
are
considering
just
this
building
in
itself,
they
may
have
a
different
opinion.
A
If
you
consider
the
project
as
a
whole,
particularly
the
four
buildings,
it
far
exceeds
our
our
policies
and
I
think
another
reason
I've
come
to
be
supportive
when
I
think
about
our
city
and
what
I
hear
from
my
constituents
and
folks
across
the
city.
There
is
a
lot
of
interest
in
creating
more
mixed
income
housing.
A
It's
part
of
why
we're
adopting
an
inclusionary
zoning
ordinance
to
help
both
require
or
subsidize
affordable
units
within
market-rate
projects,
because
we
hear
and
desire
for
folks
to
be
able
to
live
at
all
incomes
within
the
same
buildings
within
the
same
neighborhoods
within
the
same
communities
talking
with
councilmember.
Warsaw
me.
This
was
particularly
important
in
a
ward
and
in
a
neighborhood
where
there
is
a
high
number
of
income,
limited
housing,
so
that
folks,
who
are
living
living
in
buildings
that
have
a
cap
of
30%
or
50%
or
60%
area
median
income
when
their
incomes
increased.
A
There
aren't
a
lot
of
options
in
the
neighborhood.
Besides,
like
trying
to
buy
a
very,
very
expensive,
single-family
home,
there's
a
real
gap
in
that
market
for
folks
who
are
are
kind
of
progressing
beyond
income,
restricted
housing
with
a
higher
income
and
ready
to
find
market
rate
housing.
But
there
isn't
any
in
the
community,
so
they're
having
to
forth
face
a
choice
of
leaving
the
community.
So
that
was
one
of
the
things
that
was
compelling
to
me
from
talking
with
councilmember
Asami's
office
about
this
project.
A
P
Thank
You
president
bender,
so
today.
First
there's
nothing
wrong
with
this
building
as
its
proposed.
The
Schaefer
Draper
Richards
is
a
good
developer
and
they've
put
together
a
good
building
and
I
just
I'm
having
a
hard
time
seeing
why
it
needs
tip
to
to
complete
its
financing
and
I
feel
like
it's
a
little
bit
dangerous
to
stretch
the
way,
we're
thinking
about
TIF,
to
think
about
sort
of
hypothetical
future
theoretical
projects.
P
I
know
that
projects
can
fall
apart
and
I
think
counting
the
sports
building
to
sort
of
give
it
credit
and
say
that
it
does
meet
policy
and
actually
because
I'm
I'm
more
concerned.
If
we're
saying
this
meets
policy,
I
would
be
a
little
less
concerned
if
we
are
saying
we're
making
an
exception
to
our
policy
for
some
exceptional
reason,
but
saying
that
you
can
bring
a
development
and
a
theory
about
future
affordable
and
get
TIF
for
the
market
rate.
P
Development
feels
like
a
very
dangerous
precedent
to
establish
I
think
that
we've
got
to
think
about
how
we're
using
TIF
we're
doing
something.
Pretty
bold,
we're
using
TIF
to
build
affordable
units
in
around
the
city
and
to
incentivize,
affordable
and
I.
Think
that
what
we,
what
we
require
of
people,
is
going
to
be
what
we
get
back.
So
if
we
say
that
the
for
TIF
is
affordable
units,
we're
gonna
get
affordable
units.
P
If
we
say
the
deliverable
for
TIF
is
a
complex
narrative
about
why
this
site
is
complicated
and
challenging
to
build
on
and
might
eventually
have
affordable,
then
we're
gonna
get
a
lot
of
complex
narratives
about
the
uniqueness
of
every
site
and
the
challenges
of
every
site
and
I.
Think
that's
really
what's
been
delivered
here.
If
we're
really
talking
about
deliverables
is,
is
a
story
in
the
history
and
the
uniqueness,
but
not
actually
affordable
units
and
I.
Think
it's
pretty
important
that
we
actually
have
a
plan
here.
P
So
I
would
totally
support
this
if
it
came
forward
along
with
the
affordable
proposal
actually
coming
forward
together,
but
I
can't
support
it
today,
I,
don't
think
it's
the
right
approach
and
I
think
that
it's
certainly
stretching
my
understanding
of
what
our
TIF
policy
is.
A
more
active
policy
ought
to
be
to
suggest
that
sort
of
unfunded
future
affordable
can
be
used
to
get
to
that
20%
to
to
get
to
this.
E
You,
madam
president,
I,
wanted
to
say
that
overall
I
support
this
project
and
understand
how
there
are
certain
interpretations
of
how
we
were
able.
How
folks
have
been
able
to
make
it
work
with
an
interpretation
of
the
policy.
I
just
carry
some
concerns
around
the
potential
precedent
that
this
sets
that
could
potentially
leave
the
north
side
open
to
dangerous
interpretation.
E
I
understand
that
this
is
written
into
the
into
the
excuse
me
it's
written
into
it
that
this
will
happen,
but
I'm
just
really
concerned
about
the
president
that
the
sets
and
the
potential
impact
that
that
would
have
on
North
Side
development.
We
don't
have
a
lot
of
development
and
so
potential
promises
of
affordability
within
it.
E
Just
as
much
as
councilmember
Fletcher
said
really
feels
like
it
stretches
what
we
have
agreed
that
TIF
should
go
towards
I
think
this
I
just
want
to
say
again,
like
I
support.
The
project
overall.
I
think
that
it's
really
great,
we
don't
have
transit
lines
nearby,
a
lot
of
things
over
in
north
and
our
market.
Just
really
does
not
work
very
well,
and
so,
when
I,
when
I
see
this,
it's
just
I
just
have
some
serious
concerns
about
the
repercussions
for
other
vulnerable
areas
in
the
city
as
well.
Thank.
M
Yet
no
money
will
go
to
the
parks,
the
schools,
the
county
or
any
of
the
other
jurisdictions
to
provide
the
services
that
would
be
needed
for
this
new
community
to
flourish,
and
so
the
use
of
tax
increment
in
housing
projects
is
something
that
should
be
rare,
and
it
should
be
something
that
we
use
to
promote
very
important
goals.
Councilmember
Cano
got
it
right.
M
Yesterday
there
is
a
homeless
encampment
two
blocks
away,
and
if
this
project
was
100
percent,
affordable
I
would
be
on
board
using
tax
increment
to
pay
for
it,
and
I
have
said
that
for
the
past
five
years,
but
this
project
is
a
market
rate
project
and
nothing
in
it.
Nothing
in
any
policy
that
we
have
states
that
we
would
use
tax
increment
for
a
market
rate
project
are
unified.
Housing
Policy
does
not
state
that
we
would
use
affordable
housing
or
TIF
money
for
market
rate
housing.
M
Our
TIF
policy
state
does
not
state
that
we
would
use
tax
increment
for
market
rate
housing.
This
redevelopment
agreement
as
large
as
it
is
States
out
what
we'd
like
to
see
at
this
site,
but
does
not
commit
us
in
any
way
to
using
tax
increment
for
market
rate
housing.
In
fact,
what's
happening
here
is
this
project
is,
is
in
contrast
to
some
of
our
policies.
You'd
have
to
get
to
the
fourth
phase
to
meet
our
inclusionary
zoning
policy.
M
Tax
increment
to
fund
and
I
am
very
concerned
about
the
potential
precedent
that
could
be
set
by
doing
something
like
this.
Now,
a
lot
of
people
talk
about
the
first
two
phases
and
I've
showed
most
people
I'm
sure.
The
developer
too
has
shown
everyone,
the
project
data
worksheets
to
very
good
projects,
12
units
that
are
really
very
deeply
subsidized,
very
difficult
to
do,
and
I
commend
you
for
doing
that,
and
another
60
in
one
project
and
28
in
another
at
50%.
M
The
whole
thing's
not
deeply
affordable,
but
it
absolutely
meets
our
criteria
and
every
single
source
used
to
pay
for
those
two
projects
was
a
public
source
other
than
the
mortgage.
It's
not
like.
We
haven't
contributed
to
the
100
units
of
affordable
housing
that
have
already
been
built.
I
can
read
off
the
list.
I
won't
do
that
in
the
interests
of
my
time,
but
everyone's
seen
these
project
out
of
worksheets.
M
There
was
no
any
other
kind
of
equity
in
these
projects,
other
than
public
assistance,
which
is
how
affordable
housing
projects
are
done
to
be
fair,
but
some
people
seem
to
think
well,
we
didn't
give
them
any
money
for
the
first
two
phases,
so
we
should
give
them
money
now
for
this
third
phase
and
the
potential
force
at
the
fourth
phase.
That
is
just
simply
not
true.
M
Also,
there's
been
some
attempt
to
suggest
that
there's
a
consistency
with
the
policy,
the
council
member
Reich
brought
forward
at
the
end
of
last
year,
and
he
certainly
could
speak
to
it.
That
has
to
do
with
combining
projects
with
affordable
and
not
affordable
when
they're
part
of
a
PUD
being
built
at
exactly
the
same
time,
but
none
of
the
money
in
that
policy
would
support
TIF
for
market
rate
either.
M
M
Just
yesterday,
I
was
working
on
a
project
in
my
office
with
developers
of
Century
Plaza
Century
Plaza,
the
old
vocational
high
school
is
going
to
be
a
hundred
and
fifty
units
of
affordable
housing
along
with
the
hotel,
so
a
market
rate
hotel
with
affordable
housing
at
50%
to
be
fair,
I
didn't
want
to
agree
to
anything
higher
than
that,
and
they
immediately
brought
up
that.
This
is
a
historic
building.
M
It's
gonna
take
a
lot
to
rehab
it
and
a
hundred
percent
is
gonna
be
affordable,
so
we
should
maybe
we
should
ask
for
tax
increment,
and
my
reaction
was:
let's
see
if
you
can
finance
it
first
through
housing,
revenue,
bonds
and
all
of
these
other
sources
not
look
to
tax
increment.
So
there
are
a
lot
of
affordable
housing
projects,
including
the
first
two
phases
of
these
projects
that
did
not
use
tax
increment.
It's
very
rare,
in
fact
the
only
project
I
can
think
of
in
the
time.
M
Well,
let's
just
say
in
the
past
four
years,
that's
used
tax
increment
at
a
not
a
higher
level
than
this
is
another
project
in
councilmember,
Gordon's,
Ward,
green
fourth,
which
I
supported
because
it's
affordable
housing
but
other
than
that
I
haven't
seen
a
tax
increment
district.
This
big
and
I've
never
seen
one
go
to
a
market
rate
housing.
M
So,
in
the
end,
we
are
setting
a
precedent
here
and
I
believe
we
need
to
create
a
policy
and
then
bring
forward
projects
that
meet
that
policy,
not
create
a
policy
by
a
moving
a
project,
because
a
number
of
ad
kids
have
told
you
that
I
mean
to
them
and
don't
listen
to
good
men.
That
was
one
of
several
of
the
things
I've
heard
from
the
developers.
M
In
fact,
the
developer
has
been
dogging
me
for
the
better
part
of
two
years
for
not
supporting
this
project,
so
I
support
projects
that
are
affordable
because
we
have
an
affordable
housing
crisis
and
all
hands
should
be
on
deck
to
build,
affordable
housing.
And
if
this
fourth
phase
happened,
I
would
support
TIF
for
it
if
it
needed
TIF.
This
is
three
point:
seven
million
dollars
for
market
rate,
housing
and
I
don't
believe.
M
We
should
open
that
door
for
this
developer
because
we
know
there
are
tons
of
great
nonprofit
and
for-profit
developers
in
this
city,
and
once
we
open
the
door
for
this
one,
everybody
else
will
be
lined
up
too.
That's
why
I
think
we
should
oppose
this?
Not
because
the
project
is
bad.
They've
done
some
great
work
and
they're
continuing
to
do
good
work,
but
because
we
don't
fund
market
rate
housing
and
if
we're
going
to
change
the
policy
and
then
bring
a
project
forward.
B
You,
madam
president-
and
this
is
the
first
time
that
we've
been
able
to
publicly
as
a
full
body,
engage
with
this
topic.
So
I
just
want
to
say
reiterate
again.
My
support
for
the
project,
as
I
did
before
so.
I
want
to
highlight
a
few
of
the
reasons
why,
but
before
that
I
do
want
to
thank
our
council
president
for
taking
the
time
to
dive
into
this
issue
and
provide
some
leadership
and
and
and
thought
on
this,
because
it
is
a
very
important
area
of
our
city.
B
This
is
one
of
the
areas
that
would
likely
be
considered
under
cultural
districts
and
it's
one
of
the
areas
that
does
need
support
as
I
recall
back
in
2011
when
I
was
an
aide
to
then
council.
Vice
president
Liljegren
communities
were
working
hard
to
promote
development
here
and
I
would
say
that
the
dynamic
project
that
has
been
brought
together
and
presented
to
us
today
is
worthy
of
our
support
and
I
appreciate
that
we
have
the
chorus
of
voices
coming
together.
That
is
in
includes
the
chair
of
the
committee,
where
this
is
heard.
B
The
council,
member
of
the
ward,
where
this
would
go,
the
staff
members
who
have
been
working
on
this
issue,
are
council
leadership
and
also
our
neighborhood
associations
and
the
community-based
groups,
which,
as
you
know,
is
like
my
middle
name
like
I.
Typically,
don't
do
things
that
my
neighborhoods
don't
want
me
to
do,
and
you've
seen
how
that
has
impacted
our
work
and
the
council.
So
I
do
think
that
this
is
a
very
good
project
that
we
should
support.
B
That
falls
within
our
policy
guidelines
and,
while
I
appreciate
councilmember
Goodman's
perspectives,
I
think
there
are
certainly
many
ways
that
we
can
take
care
of
those
concerns,
not
necessarily
by
punishing
this
specific
project,
for
perhaps
what
she
seems
as
a
lack
of
clarity
or
a
lack
of
direction
from
us
on
this.
So
I
just
want
to
say
that
I
appreciate
all
the
positive
appoints
that
this
brings
and
I
appreciate
her
staff,
who
have
been
working
on
this
effort
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
supporting
it
today.
Thank.
B
I
I
I
mean
how
it
was
nailed
down
and
will
be
guaranteed
as
a
City
Enterprise,
maybe
get
those
deliverables
for
our
inputs,
so
I
mean
I
think
if
this
were
delayed
a
month,
I'd
be
like
yes,
but
on
the
other
hand,
I
should
be
saying
yes,
because
if
we
open
this
door,
there's
no
ward
that
could
take
better
advantage
of
TIF
for
affordable
or
non
affordable
housing
or
quasi,
affordable
housing
than
my
ward.
I
mean
it
for
those
who
are
concerned
about
the
open
door.
I
I
love
that
open
door
I'd
get
a
lot
of
development
and
for
those
who
have
the
theory
that
Oh
more
units
are
going
to
have
a
all
net
positive
effect
for
affordability,
the
the
UB
sort
of
notion.
Oh,
my
goodness,
my
work
could
deliver
on
that
front,
but
I
don't
have
a
policy
framework
that
suggests
that
if
I
say
yes
now
that
that
would
ever
happen,
I'd
have
to
rely
on
my
friends
to
say:
oh,
you
are
a
good
guy
then,
and
we'll
support
you
later,
even
though
we
have
no
policy
support
for
it.
I
I
get
that,
but
I
would
love
to
have
a
much
better
framework,
but
in
the
absence
of
framework
I
think
my
board
will
have
a
lot
of
very
complex
localities
with
a
lot
of
great
opportunities
to
use,
TIF
or
non
affordability,
let
alone
actually
maybe
I'm
shoot
myself.
A
foot
there's
actually
the
same
developer.
Richardson's
wants
to
do
TIF
in
an
area
where
he
wants
to
eliminate
some
production
areas
for
some
level
of
affordability,
but
even
there
there's
actually
is
straightforward.
I
O
Thank
you
very
much.
I
appreciate
the
discussion.
I
just
like
to
respond
to
a
couple
issues
that
came
up
I
think
there
was
one
of
my
colleagues
who,
over
and
over
said
much
much
later,
much
much
later,
we're
talking
about
one
project
breaking
ground
in
2019
and
the
next
project
breaking
ground
in
2020.
If
it
doesn't
break
ground,
til
the
fall
of
2019
and
the
other
one
is
in
the
spring.
O
That's
a
few
months
separation
we're
not
talking
about
much
much
later
and
never
in
the
staff
report,
were
they
even
if
the
extreme
that
goes
to
2021,
then
we're
talking
about
a
year
apart.
So
I
just
want
to
be
clear
about
that.
These
projects
will
happen
in
sequence
directly.
In
fact,
I
would
say
the
probably
the
funding
for
the
second
project
will
be
all
sealed
up
locked
down
as
soon
as
the
first
one
gets
approved,
because
everybody's
gonna
say
absolutely
right.
We
can
take
a
chance
on
this
I
don't
know
if
you've
met
the
developer.
O
This
is
a
new
developer.
She
is
sharp.
She
has
her
act
together
and
she's
ready
to
move
forward
with
this
project
and
I.
Think
she's
she
has
credibility
and
it's
an
opportunity
for
us
to
actually
support
a
person
of
color
to
become
move
forward
as
a
developer
here
and
I.
Think
there'll,
be
assistance
from
the
city.
I
also
wanted
to
mention
a
little
bit
about
precedent-setting
we're
talking
about
what
a
slippery
slope.
What
a
big
precedent.
There
is
a
precedent
that
could
be
set
here
and
here's
the
precedent
that
this
project
set.
O
That's
the
precedent
that
it
could
set
and
I
would
suggest
a
precedent
that
is
absolutely
called
out
a
name
in
our
policy.
I.
Don't
know
why
we're
pretending
we
don't
have
a
policy
that
allows
us.
We
have
nothing
in
any
of
our
policy
documents
that
says
a
penny
can
never
go
to
market
rate
housing
of
TIF.
It's
not
there.
It's
allowed
in
state
law
and
elsewhere,
but
we
do
have
a
policy
that
says
it
has
to
support:
affordable
housing,
I'm
just
gonna
our
overall
TIF
policy.
O
O
Looking
at
that
and
I
thought,
oh
great
we're
going
to
get
a
major
road
built,
we're
going
to
get
traffic-calming
at
one
of
the
most
problem
intersections
in
the
city
and
we're
gonna
get
a
new
left
turn
off
cedar
and
when
Snelling
is
going
to
get
reconstructed
and
rather
than
the
city
being
on
the
dime
for
millions
of
dollars,
it's
going
to
be
coming
from
Tod
grants,
federal
grants
and
County
grants.
I
believe
we
only
had
to
put
in
a
little
over
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
the
street
reconstruction
that
went
into
also
support.
A
Thank
you,
I
put
myself
in
queue
and
I
had
also
had
the
policy
in
front
of
me
just
because
it's
been
such
a
topic
of
conversation.
In
addition
to
the
piece
that
councilmember
Gordon
read,
there
is
actually
a
phrase
in
the
policy
that
says
we
could
consider
exemptions
or
exceptions
from
the
piece
of
he
read,
which
says
any
specific
projects
was
requesting.
A
Exemptions
to
the
affordable
housing
requirements
must
seek
city
council
approval
based
on
alternative
public
purpose,
which
may
include
new
market
rate
housing
development
on
city-owned
land
in
areas
where
none
has
occurred
in
the
previous
three
years-
and
we
know
in
this
case
it's
actually
something
like
30
years,
I,
think
and
I.
Think
I
just
want
to
say
again.
A
I
am
hearing
a
lot
of
comments
from
Council
members
that
don't
reflect
what
I've
heard
from
our
staff
and
I
just
would
like
to
encourage
folks
that,
as
this
project
progresses
to
really
of
course,
talk
with
each
other
and
talk
with
folks
in
the
community,
but
but
I
think
it's
important
to
always
kind
of
check
back
in
with
our
staff
and
make
sure
that
what
we're
hearing
is
accurate
and
incorrect
and
I.
You
know
this.
How
unusual
is
a
situation?
It
is
pretty
unusual.
We
don't
see
a
lot
of
mixed
income
housing
in
Minneapolis.
A
F
You,
madam
chair
I,
want
to
acknowledge
today
that
we
don't
have
council
member
saumui
with
us
because
of
a
health
and
medical
issue,
and
we've
all
been
in
situations
like
that
before
we're
not
able
to
make
it
in
due
to
that
and
I'm
I've
been
counting
the
votes
here
and
I.
Think
it's
pretty
clear
to
me
that
there's
at
least
five
votes
not
in
support
of
moving
this
forward
and
I.
F
Think
out
of
respect
for
councilmember
Warsaw
me
so
that
he
can
not
only
have
a
vote
but
also
have
a
voice
on
this
issue
at
full.
Council
I.
Don't
expect
this
to
really
change
the
outcome,
but
just
out
of
respect
for
him
as
a
colleague
I'm
going
to
move
that
we
delay
this
one
cycle
to
the
next
city
council
meeting
council.
D
D
D
E
P
J
P
I
think
I
would
wonder
if
it
might
make
more
sense
to
delay
until
they're
ready
to
bring
forward
phase.
Four
like
it
feels
to
me,
like
two
weeks,
isn't
gonna
change
much
for
us
and
my
understanding
of
how
affordable
finance
works,
isn't
that
this
is
going
to
get
resolved
in
two
weeks
or
four
weeks,
but
we
could
bring
these
things
together
in
a
way
that
totally
meets
the
policy
and
the
intent
of
the
policy.
P
If
we
were
to
delay
a
little
further
and
so
I
guess,
I
would
just
suggest
that
we
try
to
bring
these
things
forward
as
a
package
I'd
be
fully
supportive
of
it.
If
we
were
able
to
do
that,
so
if
it
really
is
going
to
be
as
quick
as
councilmember
Gordon
suggested
to
get
the
finance
moving
on
a
phase
four
or
three
D
or
whatever
you
want
to
call
it
I
I
would
encourage
that
those
things
be
brought
forward
together,
so
that
we
can
all
support
this
I
think
we'd
like
to.
C
Not
support
waiting
until
the
fourth
one
it's
going
through
I
mean
this
is
again
just
to
be
studying
it
and
talking
to
staff
about
what
the
development
could
look
like.
I
think
it
makes
a
lot
of
sense
to
wait
until
Council
member
saumui
can
push
this
forward.
We
also
have
a
lot
of
folks,
as
we've
already
heard,
having
folks
that
worked
on
this
project
already
supporting
this
having
the
neighborhood
having
strong
support
for
this
there's
a
there's,
a
history
of
it.
M
You
mister
I'm,
also
fine,
supporting
it
waiting
a
cycle
I'll
remind
you,
there's
three
council
members,
not
here
not
just
one.
So
if
that
was
just
a
plan
to
get
councilmember
Osama
here,
but
not
the
others,
there'll
be
others.
Some
people
probably
won't
be
here
at
the
next
council
meeting
either.
Oh
know
that
this
phase
four
is
nowhere
near
ready
to
go.
M
There's
not
one
penny
lined
up
for
it,
and
this
I
believe
is
going
to
be
a
pretty
affordable
project,
and
so
it's
going
to
take
time
in
order
to
acquire
all
the
sources
that
they
need.
It
sounds
like
a
very
good
project
to
me,
but
the
fact
that
the
staff
didn't
believe
it
was
coming
as
quickly
as
councilmember
Gordon.
Does
they
put
it
in
writing
because
we're
filing
a
declaration
against
the
title
on
the
fourth
project?
M
That
will
essentially
require
a
future
development
of
at
least
32
units,
and
when
we
have
to
put
that
a
declaration
of
title
in
it
means
we
don't
believe
it's
going
to
happen,
because
if
we
did,
we
wouldn't
have
to
put
the
declaration
of
title
in
and
I'll
just
remind
you
that
in
the
end,
this
isn't
about
whether
or
not
we
use
tax
increment
for
affordable
housing.
This
is
about
whether
or
not
what
we
use
tax
increment
for
market-rate
housing.
M
O
Think
that
we
M
just
to
make
a
note,
we
asked
for
extra
reassurances,
staff,
went
out
and
tried
to
get
those
and
the
development
team
who
gave
those
it
wasn't,
because
there
was
a
lack
of
confidence
that
this
will
go
forward.
I
think
the
two
weeks
will
also
give
an
opportunity
for
the
development
team
to
meet
with
councilmember
Fletcher
and
be
able
to
present
their
plans
and
the
project
and
the
funding
that
they
have
lined
up
now
and
how
soon
they
expect
to
go
forward
in
the
future.
O
A
A
F
E
You,
madam
president,
I
just
want
to
briefly
say
that
I'm
very
excited
about
this
resolution
in
support.
The
d-line
hat
brings
serious
opportunities,
potential
development
opportunities
to
the
fourth
ward,
which
is
reflected
in
the
land
use
map
in
the
2040
plan,
really
hoping
that
this
will
be
able
to
excite
some
folks
and
actually
bring
some
development
to
the
fourth
words.
I.
Just
want
to
thank
my
