I
see,
council
vice
president
drinkers
go
ahead.
B
A
C
Chair
council
vice
president
Jenkins,
the
short
background
here
and
happy
to
answer
any
further
questions
is
that
earlier
this
year,
living
cities,
a
consortium
of
foundations,
approved
it
million
dollar
grant
for
a
revolving
loan
fund,
targeted
towards
small
business
lending
throughout
the
city,
primarily
focused
in
North
Minneapolis,
and
they
wanted
to
have
that.
Have
that
grant
go
to
a
new
nonprofit
entity
that
entity
was
formed.
It's
called
Fortis
capital
and
one
of
the
requirements
of
the
Living
Cities
grant
was
some
match
from
the
city
of
Minneapolis.
So
what
you?
C
What
is
on
the
Ways
and
Means
agenda
today
in
which
EDRs
approved
in
this
cycle,
is
$500,000
forgivable
loan?
So
if
certain
conditions
are
met
and
other
conditions,
don't
other
things
don't
happen,
the
city
will
forgive
the
loan
and
will
turn
into
a
grant.
If
you
will,
if
that
answers
your
question.
Otherwise,
here
I
am.
C
B
A
D
Mr.
chair
council,
vice
president
Jenkins,
my
understanding
is
that
sorry,
yes,
I'm
track
I'm
the
trans
equity
project
coordinator
in
the
city
coordinators
office.
My
understanding
is
that
we
have
gotten
a
signed
copy
of
moved
a
signed
contract
through
at
this
point.
So
all
the
ownership
is
clarified
and
that
the
city
will
also
always
have
ownership
by
virtue
of
the
data
practices
by
virtue
of
data
practices,
law,
anything
could
be
public
data
and
is
therefore
still
associated
with
the
city,
but
everything
will
be
taken
care
of
through
the
treasurer
archives
at
the
University
of
Minnesota.
B
E
Walk
sure,
mr.
chair
council,
vice
president,
we
hear
you
and
Greg
okie
is
here.
If
you
want
us
to
walk
through
those
amendments
we
are
happy
to.
We
are
well
aware
of
and
work
closely
with
all
of
our
partner
organizations,
specifically
civil
rights
procurement
and
our
architects,
and
can
explain
the
rationale
for
each
one
of
those
and
to
be
able
to
give
you
an
update
as
to
wet
when
they
required.
E
It
did
not
require
any
kind
of
su
VP
modifications,
but
it
is
clearly
on
our
radar
and
something
that
I
have
asked
our
staff
to
pay
close
attention
to,
so
that
there
are
no
surprises
for
you.
So
we
can
either
do
that
offline.
If
you
would
like
to-
or
we
could
do
that
to
the
committee
today,
if
you'd
like
to
respond.
B
F
B
E
Mr.
chair
comes
the
vice
president,
I
think
when
it
comes
to
the
public
service
building
there.
This
is
a
very
large
and
complex
project.
Right,
it's
not
like
resurfacing
a
street
and
I
don't
mean
that
in
any
bad
way,
because
not
trying
to
assign
relative
value,
but
it's
not
something
we
do
over
and
over
again
it's
not
the
same
product,
and
so
most
of
these
changes
are
because
in
the
modifications
of
the
contract
are
because
a
couple
of
things
happen.
One
is
in
engaging
the.
E
Architect,
more
fully
to
realize
some
of
the
benefits
we
want
to
see
out
of
this
building,
we
actually
after
the
bid,
change
the
specifications.
So
it's
something
that
we
initiate
as
the
client
to
say.
We
want
to
enhance
this
building
based
on
information.
Sometimes
the
opposite
is.
The
true
is
true,
which
is
the
bidder
comes
in
after
bidding
and
says?
E
So
we
have
parties
who
are
third
parties
who
can
say
whether
the
bidders
questions
and
expectations
are
rational
or
whether
they're
just
trying
to
get
more
money
right?
Because
that's
always
the
concern
is
the
bidder
will
come
in
low
bid
and
then
try
to
mark
up
everything.
I
can
assure
you
that,
with
this
building,
we
are
there
very
well
equipped
to
fight
against
anyone
of
any
of
that
particular
situation
and
then
the
last
conversation
which
I
alluded
to
is,
if
the.
E
E
We
are
close
to
being
at
the
end
of
the
bid
process
and
it's
our
plan
to
come
back
to
this
committee
in
a
fairly
short
order,
with
an
update
to
you
on
where
we
are
in
the
larger
picture
goals,
which
is:
how
are
we
doing
on
our
workforce
goal
for
people
of
color
and
women?
How
are
we
doing
overall,
when
you
assemble
all
the
bids
with
our
su
BP
goals,
and
how
do
we
compare
to
other
kind
of
similar
projects?
B
F
You
mr.
chair
I
just
asked:
could
we
take
and
vote
on
item
number
19
separately?
I
have
a
lot
of
questions
about
the
creation
of
Fortis
capital
and
really
pleased
that
director
Frank
engaged
the
consult
and
the
advice
of
our
internal
audit
team
in
the
process
and
I'm
I'm
super
grateful
for
the
immediate
time
before
this
committee
that
we
sat
and
talked
about
it.
F
G
C
C
A
C
A
You
that's,
those
are
been
approved
and
now
I
bring
forth
item
19.
Any
discussions
on
that.
Seeing
none
I'll
make
a
motion
to
approve
that
item.
All
those
in
favor
say:
aye
Hey
goes
against
those
upstate,
so
there
you
have
four
eyes
and
one
statement.
That
item
has
been
approved
since
we
had
any
other
discussions
or
any
comments
to
my
colleagues.
Well,
since
we
have
no
other
items
on
our
agenda,
this
meeting
is
adjourned.
Thank
you
very
much.
