Description
Minneapolis Public Health, Environment, Civil Rights, and Engagement Committee Meeting
A
Scheduled
meeting
of
the
public
health
environment,
civil
rights
and
engagement
committee
for
Monday
February,
4th
2019,
my
name
is
Philippe
Cunningham
and
I.
Am
the
chair
of
this
committee
at
the
Dyess
with
me?
Are
councilmembers
Schrader,
vice-chair
Gordon
and
council
member
Johnson?
Let
the
record
reflect
that
we
have
a
quorum.
It
can
conduct
the
city's
business.
I
just
want
to
say
that
I
personally
think
that
this
committee
might
be
a
little
bit
bias
is
the
best
committee
out
of
all
of
the
City
Council
committees
and
I.
A
Think
the
giant
crowd
today
only
proves
that
point
further.
So
thank
you
for
joining
us
everyone.
So
we
have
three
items
on
today's
agenda,
including
a
public
hearing.
So
let's
dispense
with
the
single
consent
item.
First
then
we
will
hold
the
public
hearing.
Then
we
will
have
a
presentation
on
the
age
age-friendly
action
plan
for
minneapolis.
So
for
the
one
consent
item
it
is
appointments
on
the
minneapolis
or
for
the
minneapolis
Advisory
Committee
on
Aging
appointments
before
that,
though,
I
want
to
recognize.
We've
been
joined
by
council
vice
president
Jenkins
and
councilmember
Cano.
A
Thank
you
so
much
for
being
here,
so
I
actually
want
to
call
up
Tina
Kendrick
to
be
able
to
give
us
a
little
I
like
to
be
able
to
have
from
time
to
time
the
information
about
folks
who
get
appointed
to
our
city
boards
and
commissions.
They
have
a
really
talented,
really
amazing
volunteering,
their
time
and
so
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
get
to
have
on
the
record
how
qualified
in
lucky
we
are
as
a
city
to
have
such
amazing
involve
citizens.

overview.
Yes,
thank
you.
Mister
Kim,
hey
V
before
is
yours.
Good.
D
Afternoon
mr.
chair
and
council
members
I'm
very
excited
today
to
present
an
overview
of
a
series
of
residential
energy
disclosures
that
I
think
are
going
to
be
changing
the
way
that
buildings
are
looked
at
as
far
as
their
energy
use
and
also
provide
a
lot
of
benefits
to
our
community,
including
renters
homeowners
and
property
owners.
D
So
our
proposed
policies
are
actually
made
up
of
three
different
policies
that
can
are
now
housed
within
two
ordinances.
So
we're
going
to
be
looking
at
our
multifamily
energy
benchmarking,
which
will
also
look
at
water
use.
We're
gonna
be
talking
about
the
truth
and
sale
of
housing
and
the
time
of
sale,
Energy,
Report
and
a
time
of
rent
energy
disclosure.
D
The
overarching
goals
with
these
particular
programs
are
really
to
fight
climate
change
by
increasing
the
progress
and
reducing
carbon
emissions
through
energy
efficiency
in
our
housing
sector.
These
policies
will
touch
on
over
90,000
residential
housing,
both
rental
and
multifamily
and
single-family.
We
are
going
to
look
at
correcting
market
deficiencies
by
properly
evaluating
the
energy
efficiency
in
the
value
of
the
home,
meaning
that
the
greater
the
energy
efficiency
of
a
property,
the
greater
value
that
those
homes
would
have
in
resale
and
greater
property
values
that
those
buildings
would
have
if
they
do
change
hands.
D
Currently,
the
market
does
not
really
effectively
look
at
those
particular
issues
that
you
can't
really
visibly
see.
We'd
increase
the
housing
affordability
by
reducing
the
total
cost
of
housing,
especially
for
the
most
energy
burdened
households,
we'd,
be
improving
transparency
and
consumer
protections
by
providing
reliable,
consistent
advice
on
a
home's
energy
use,
in
which
we
hope
will
encourage
them
to
take
actions
and
reduce
their
energy
use
and
costs,
and
this
is
also
something
that
will
really
equalize
the
information
available
to
both
renters
and
to
homeowners.
D
And
finally,
this
is
a
response
to
an
August
11th
2018
staff
direction
to
develop
a
comprehensive
set
of
residential
energy
disclosures.
So
why
are
the?
Why
do
we
need
these
policies
to
reach
our
climate
goals?
Well,
we
have
very
aggressive
climate
goals.
We
are.
We
have
a
goal
to
reduce
our
energy
use
by
30
percent
by
2025
and
80
percent
by
2050.
This
is
some
of
the
most
aggressive
carbon
reduction
goals
in
the
country
and
across
the
world.
Energy
efficiency
consistently
ranks
as
the
least
costly
strategy
to
reduce
overall
energy
use
in
21.
D
Other
cities,
including
Minneapolis,
have
already
done
some
phone
of
energy
benchmarking.
The
city
of
Minneapolis
currently
has
all
buildings
commercial
buildings
over
50,000
square
feet,
providing
energy
data
and
water
use.
Data
to
the
city.
We've
seen
some
really
good
reductions
with
those
particular
buildings,
but
the
progress
is
not
happening
fast
enough
and
we
need
to
expand
our
efforts
and
really
continue
to
work
hard
to
see
those
energy
Texans
happen.
D
As
I
said,
more
progress
is
needed
on
climate
change.
We've
heard
a
lot
about
this
from
the
UN.
It
just
talked
about
nearly
every
day
in
the
newspapers
TV
and
on
social
media.
Our
current
policies
within
the
climate
action
plan
are
very
good,
but
they
need
to
be
acted
on
more
urgently,
and
these
are
policies
that
are
going
to
act
on
some
of
those
more
urgent
or
more
urgently.
We
need
to
do
more
to
reduce
the
energy
use
amongst
our
housing
stock.
D
As
you
can
see,
we
have
90,000
500
units
of
housing,
either
between
obviously
from
a
single-family
home
up
to
multifamily
and
right
now.
Our
voluntary
efforts
are
really
only
reaching
600
to
1,000
homes
in
the
single-family
home
market
and
we're
only
looking
at
30
apartment
buildings,
which
are
being
analyzed
for
energy
efficiency
improvements
on
an
annual
basis.
These
particular
programs
will
be
increasing
those
numbers
substantially
within
the
with
the
truth
and
sale
of
housing
we're
seeing
anywhere
from
four
to
seven
thousand
homes.
D
That
would
go
through
our
energy
report
process
as
part
of
tsch,
which
would
be
quite
Drupal
in
four
hundred
five
hundred
percent
increase
in
the
number
of
homes
that
would
be
evaluated.
So
that's
a
pretty
good
increase
from
what
we're
doing
voluntarily
right
now
and
we're
also
looking
at
having
many
more,
the
multifamily
properties
participate
in
a
combined
utility
and
City
programs
to
look
at
energy
efficiency
for
multifamily.
Right
now,
we
have
between
450
and
500
multifamily
properties
over
50,000
square
feet
and
we're
only
actually
touching
on
30
of
them
a
year.
D
So
we
need
to
continue
to
to
do
more.
I
also
want
to
speak
to
the
fact
that
equity
within
these
particular
policies.
We
took
a
very
strong
look
at
how
these
policies
would
affect
our
low-income
residents
and
specifically
low-income
renters,
as
well
as
welcome
homeowners.
We've
had
a
change
over
the
last
few
years
in
which
now
52%
of
the
residents
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis
are
renters,
and
so
those
folks
deserve
to
have
the
same
kind
of
information
a
homebuyer
may
have.
D
Our
vacancy
rates
are
very
low,
which
means
it's
very
difficult
to
be
negotiating
on
rents
or
anything
like
that
and
a
major
part
of
folks
housing
costs
are
energy
costs
and
there's
no
way
to
know
what
your
energy
cost
is
currently,
unless
the
landlord
voluntarily
provides
that
information
to
you
and
renters
represent
three
out
of
four
high
energy
burden:
households
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
so
our
time
of
rent
policy
that
we're
proposing
today
would
really
start
to
speak
at
speak
to
the
the
concerns
we
have
about
full
and
transparency
regarding
energy
costs.
Mr.
D
D
Council
member
Gordon
mr.
chair
a
definition
there
varies,
but
on
a
national
standard,
we're
talking
about
a
households,
income
being
in
excess
of
seven
percent
of
their
household
income
and
in
some
cases,
you'll
see
energy
costs
being
as
high
as
30
percent
of
a
household's
income.
Typically
speaking,
an
average
middle-income
household
within
minneapolis
has
a
3%
energy
burden
or
energy
cost.
So
high
energy
burden
is
one
that's
more
than
double
what
the
average
is.
Thank
you.
C
D
I
councilmember
Jenkins
and
mr.
cherry
I
was
deferring
to
that
it's
difficult
because
of
low
vacancy
rates
rates
for
renters
to
negotiate
their
rent.
You
know
it's
kind
of
like
there's,
always
someone
else
that
could
take
their
place.
You
have
to
pay
what
you
have
to
pay,
but
at
least
you
know
in
this
case,
what
we're
going
to
be
offering
is
an
opportunity
to
see
what
your
true
costs
are,
which
includes
your
energy
costs.
D
We
have
a
lot
of
homes,
as
you
know,
that
are
our
single-family
homes
that
are
rented
we've
had
it
when
the
recession
was
here,
a
lot
of
those
homes,
affordable
homes
and
in
the
green
zones.
Both
the
north
side
and
south
side
were
bought
up
by
larger
property
owners.
So
we
have
a
lot
more
rental,
housing,
single-family
homes,
for
example,
and
those
families
are
paying
the
full
cost
of
those
those
their
energy
costs.
D
If
they
don't
know
what
they
are,
they
may
be
very
surprised
to
find
out
in
January
that
they
have
an
additional
five
hundred
dollars
of
energy
costs
than
what
they
thought
they
did
have
when
they
signed
the
lease
in
June.
So
I
was
actually
referring
to
that's
more
difficult
to
negotiate
in
very
low
vacancy
periods
of
time
like
we're
in
right
now
any
kind
of
reduction
or
changes
in
the
rent.
Our.
C
D
D
All
right
back
to
you,
Thank
You,
mr.
chair,
and
so
the
last
piece
that
we
were
also
I
want
to
stress,
is
that
the
energy
vision,
Advisory
Committee
and
the
Clean
Energy
Partnership
are
working
with
the
University
of
I'm,
sorry
with
the
National
Association
of
State
Energy
officials
and
others
on
a
workforce
plan
which
intends
to
really
tie
job
creation
as
a
result
of
these
particular
efforts
with
Minneapolis
residents
and
training
programs,
so
that
the
economic
development
that's
happening
as
a
result
of
these
energy
efficiency.
D
So,
just
briefly
talking
about
residential
benchmarking
and
evaluations.
Really
what
benchmarking
is
is
an
ongoing
tracking
system
of
building
energy
and
water
use
to
ensure
buildings
are
using
energy
and
water
as
anticipated
over
time
and
relative
to
their
peers.
The
two
data
silos
is
illustrated
here
have
never
been
merged
before,
but
by
doing
so,
they
provide
a
relative
score
to
other
light
buildings
called
the
Energy
Star
score,
which
can
be
calculated
for
most
buildings.
D
Those
building
scoring's
those
buildings
scoring
in
the
lowest
25%
of
the
similar
buildings
will
be
asked
to
have
an
energy
evaluation
which
basically
looks
at
ways
that
they
can
reduce
their
particular
energy
use.
So
this
is
really
doing
behavioral
nudging
to
try
to
encourage
people
to
take
advantage
of
the
opportunities
that
a
energy
evaluation
would
provide.
This
information
will
also
be
made
public
and
disclosed
both
in
the
multifamily
side
to
renters,
as
well
as
to
the
public
in
general,
to
see
how
those
particular
buildings
are
doing.
D
So,
as
I
mentioned,
there's
an
evaluation
component
to
this,
and
this
is
an
important
piece
to
what
we're
proposing.
Currently
there.
There
is
not
a
evaluation
component
included
within
the
commercial
benchmarking,
so
this
will
apply
to
both
multifamily
and
commercial
benchmarking.
The
goal
here
is
to
have
buildings
with
low
performance,
as
I
mentioned
within
the
lowest
25%
of
similar
buildings
perform
an
energy
evaluation.
D
While
there's
no
requirement
to
implement
the
measures
of
those
energy
evaluations,
it
will
give
folks
a
really
good
idea
of
the
rebates,
the
incentives
and
the
opportunities
that
they
have
to
save
cost
and
money.
We
will
be
phasing
in
this
evaluation
period
over
a
five-year
period
of
time
and
our
overall
goal
is
to
see
energy
use
decline
20%
over
5
years.
These
energy
evaluations
also
will
only
be
required
if
there
is
a
no-cost
evaluation
option
available.
D
We
determined
it
was
best
to
follow
a
path
of
those
cities
that
had
the
most
success
in
reducing
their
overall
energy
costs
and
emissions,
and
that's
we're
including
an
evaluation
component
into
the
multifamily
and
commercial
benchmarking
ordinance.
Next,
we're
gonna
talk
about
time
of
sale.
I
came.
A
E
D
D
This
councilmember
Gordon-
that
is
not
a
requirement
that
we
have
NAR,
warns,
though
it's
very
likely
that
those
types
of
lighting
upgrades
would
be
recommended
in
an
energy
evaluation.
And,
interestingly
enough,
if
you
look
at
commercial
industrial,
they
are
most
likely
to
have
not
replaced
their
old
light
fixtures
and
we
have
a
lot
of
for
blow
hanging
fruit,
er
or
easy
to
change
out
lighting
opportunities
still
in
our
commercial
industrial
buildings.
D
Of
sale,
energy
disclosure,
so
this
is
working
with
the
existing
truth
and
sale
of
housing,
components
that
we
already
have
that
really
looking
at
health
and
safety,
and
what
we're
proposing
is
by
not
adding
additional
FTEs
by
not
having
to
do
additional
or
greatly
expanded.
A
high
t
work,
though,
we'll
be
doing
some
tweaking
with
that.
We're
going
to
be
able
to
implement
a
energy
report
and
the
energy
report
will
be
incorporated
into
the
existing
tissue
reporting
and
will
be
based
on
data,
that's
provided
by
the
existing
tissue
evaluators.
D
The
goal
of
this
is
to
provide
a
report
that
is
understandable
and
actionable.
Basically
saying
these
are
the
types
of
things
that
you
could
do
in
order
to
reduce
your
energy
cost
and
your
end
reduce
your
overall
carbon
emissions
and
provide
information
about
where
they
can
connect
with
contractors
and
learn
more
about
what
kind
of
rebates
and
financing
that's
available
to
make
those
improvements.
However,
there
are
no
required
energy
improvements
that
will
be
required.
This
is
again
transparency,
giving
people
information
at
the
time
a
home
is
sold
about.
The
energy
scenario
is
for
their
home.
D
This
has
been
done
in
thousands
of
homes
throughout
the
Twin
Cities
and
thousands
with
in
Minneapolis
without
issue,
and
there's
also
going
to
be
a
blower
door
test,
which
is
the
currently
the
most
comprehensive
technology
used
to
be
able
to
determine
where
the
home
has
its
greatest
air
leaks.
In
order
to
be
able
to
seal
those
and
reduce
the
energy
loss.
D
I
also
wanted
to
mention
that
we
have
consulted
with
the
most
common
insurance
company,
who
provides
liability
insurance
for
our
tissue,
valuators
and
they've
indicated
that
there
would
be
no
increased
liability
costs
or
insurance
costs
for
those
evaluators,
as
a
result
of
either
taking
on
the
blower
door
test
or
the
two-inch
hole.
The
other
two
areas
that
they
look
at
when
we're
talking
about
attic
insulation
they're
already
taking
a
look
at
that,
if
they
do
have
easy
access
to
it
and
they're
already
taking
a
look
at
the
heating
system
to
determine
whether
it's
functioning
properly.
D
One
of
the
interesting
things
about
this
is
that
we've
already
got
a
number
of
voluntary
programs
that
will
help
folks
take
advantage
of
the
findings
of
these
energy
reports.
One
we
do
have
low
and
low
cost
Home
Energy
Squad
visits
and
those
home
energy
squad
visits
will
qualify
as
an
energy
report
at
the
time
of
sale.
So,
if
you've
had
an
energy
squad
visit
within
two
years
prior
to
your
home,
coming
on
the
market,
you
will
not
need
to
go
through
a
Tish
energy
evaluation
report.
D
We
also
have
an
opportunity
to
provide
funding
based
on
our
increased
franchise
fee
at
0%
for
five
years
for
loans
for
energy
efficiency,
improvements,
which
include
most
of
the
aspects
that
are
covered
within
the
home
energy
inspection
report.
We
also
have
some
terrific
utility
rebates,
for
example,
Center
for
energy
is
providing
a
thousand
dollar
rebate
now
for
wall
insulation
being
completed
in
Minneapolis
Homes
Center
Point
is
also
going
to
be
launching
in
second
quarter
of
2019
a
non
bill.
D
Loan
repayment
program
and
this
envelope
payment
program
has
three
million
dollars
of
capital
available
to
it,
which
will
leverage
the
0%
financing
that
the
city's
sustainability
division
is
is
participating
in,
and
there
will
be
great
opportunities
to
be
able
to
finance
these
energy
efficiency
improvements
using
on
bill
payment
programs
and
and
for
the
most
part,
at
0%
financing.
We
are
also
working
closely
with
Centrepointe
and
Xcel
Energy,
as
well
as
the
University
of
Minnesota
on
developing
an
inclusive
financing
program.
D
A
Right,
so
can
you
tell
me
cuz,
like
Chris,
warned
that
there
was
five
years?
Is
that
for
improvements
that
have
already
been
done
within
the
past
five
years?
That,
then,
does
my
question.
Make
sense
like
is
it
is
it
what
improvements
have
been
done
in
the
last
five
years
and
then
specifically,
a
home
energy
squad
visit
qualifies
for
two
years,
but
is
there
also
a
five
year
window
cuz
I
could
have
sworn
I
saw
that
somewhere.
D
C
D
Councilmember
Jenkins
mr.
chair,
the
the
rate
I
believe,
is
around
five
to
six
percent,
but
you
would
be
eligible
to
utilize
the
buy
down
of
the
0%
financing
for
those
improvements
as
well.
So
the
the
three
million
dollars
of
capital
that's
available.
We
can
buy
down
about
five
hundred
to
six
hundred
thousand
dollars
of
that
to
0%
financing
in
2019.
So
if
you're
able
to
take
advantage
of
those,
you
would
be
able
to
also
get
the
zero
percent
financing
and
use
the
on
go.
Loan
repayment.
A
A
D
D
We
are
estimating
somewhere
between
100
and
200
dollars,
though
a
significant
portion
of
that
would
likely
be
related
to
the
blower
door
test,
which
would
take
more
time
and
also
require
either
utilizing
or
buying
a
blower
door
equipment.
So
that's
what
we're
looking
at
as
far
as
the
additional
cost
and
there,
but
again
those
prices
are
set
by
the
evaluators
and
likely
that
once
they
have
more
experience
with
doing
it,
they'll
become
more
efficient
and
hopefully
see
those
costs
be
minimized.
A
Thank
you
and
so
follow-up
question
so
with
you
had
talked
about
the
2
inch
hole
in
the
wall,
so
something
that
I've
heard
quite
frequently
as
folks
feel.
Like
that's
invasive
to
questions,
can
you
explain
a
little
bit
about?
Can
you
explain
more
about
that
process?
Is
that
typical?
Is
that
a
best
practice,
and
then
the
second
question
is:
are
the
homeowners
able
to
approve
of
the
location
like
yes,
but
in
that
closet
in
that
corner,
is
okay
or
is
it
just
something
that
the
inspector
just
chooses
on
their
own.
D
Mr.
chair,
it
is
a
very
common
practice.
It's
been
done
on
thousands
of
homes
throughout
the
Twin
Cities.
It's
typically
done
in
a
very
inconspicuous
space
and
many
times
it's
in
a
closet,
and
it
is
capped.
So
it's
not
in
many
cases,
people
have
had
it
done,
don't
even
know
where
it
was
actually
done.
There
is
an
opportunity,
obviously,
if
you're
there
to
meet
with
the
evaluator
to
choose,
based
on
the
fact
that
it
needs
to
be
a
wall
that
does
have
exterior
exposure
to
the
location
where
you
would
like
to
have
the
hole
drilled.
D
They
had
no
insulation
put
in
those.
We
do
need
to
take
a
look
at
and
see
what
what's
the
amount
of
space
that
is
available
and
if
there
is
actually
any
insulation
in
there
in
order
to
give
the
best
estimate
of
how
much
insulation
would
go
in
and
what
the
actual
effect
would
be
as
far
as
reducing
the
energy
cost.
So
it
is
needed.
Thank.
A
There
could
be
more
intentional
pathways
for
Tish
inspectors
of
color
and
being
able
to
diversify
that
field
as
well.
So
just
gonna
want
to
name
that
and
so
come
on.
All
city
staff
are
here
and
just
our
commitment
on
making
that
happen.
So
thank
you
for
naming
that
and
I
now,
I
have
council
vice
president
Jenkins.
C
D
Council
member
jenkins
and
mr.
chair
right
now
we're
actually
going
through
evaluation
component
of
the
programs
that
we
have
available
through
sustainability
as
well
through
the
health
department
and
energy
efficiency,
renewable
energy
in
general.
We
haven't
seen
the
results
of
that.
As
of
yet-
and
we
are,
we
do
have
a
task
force,
that's
working
on
it
within
the
energy
vision
advisory
committee.
So
I
can't
tell
you
specifically
what
training
program
will
be
specific
to
evaluators
or
insulators
or
those
kinds
of
things,
but
we
are
proposing
to
have
that
report
available
in
March.
D
It
is
a
report
that
will
be
developed
with
utilities
in
a
form
that
the
city
of
Minneapolis
would
prescribe
and
that
the
landlords
would
not
be
required
to
disclose
that
or
have
any
implications
of
not
disclosing
it
if
the
information
is
not
made
available
by
the
utility.
Our
plan
is
to
bring
forward
a
very
easy
to
use
information
through
a
web
portal
that
will
be
specific
to
each
of
the
different
buildings.
D
This
gives
us
a
little
bit
of
an
example
of
what
an
energy
report
might
look
like
as
I
mentioned.
This
is
a
significant
part
of
our
Clean
Energy
Partnership
work
plan.
It
is
not
something
that's
easily
developed
at
this
time
for
the
smaller
properties.
Anything
under
five
units
has
some
issues
around
the
issues
around
disclosure
and
data
privacy,
but
we
are
working
with
utilities
to
overcome
those
objectives
and
and
have
that
available.
D
This
program
is
intended
to
be
rolled
out
in
2021,
so
we
do
have
quite
a
runway
to
get
this
in
place
and
to
make
sure
that
it's
focusing
on
the
right
data.
The
buildings
that
are
over
50,000
square
feet
will
use
the
already
being
disclosed
energy
benchmarking
information,
so
that
for
properties
that
are
on
average
50
units
are
larger.
We
are
good
to
go
as
far
as
the
information
there
and
again
we'll
be
working
on
an
online
platform
that
the
utilities
have
agreed
to
develop
with
us
as
part
of
our
clean
energy
partnership
work
plan.
D
So
this
is
an
a
summary
sheet
that
really
shows
the
various
different
programs
and
and
the
buildings
that
they
would
affect
the
goals
that
we're
hoping
to
achieve
and
the
requirements
that
are
part
of
it.
It
also
gives
a
rough
estimate
of
the
time
and
it
would
take
and
whatever
that
might
be
within
cost
segments
and
then
also
when
the
projects
will
be
implemented.
D
So
we've
done
a
lot
of
outreach
and
engagement
to
date
on
this
is
this
slide
shows
we've
had
three
general
public
meetings,
we've
published
all
the
Nation
about
the
disclosures
and
the
proposals
that
we
have
on
our
sustainability
website.
We've
had
consultation
with
national
organizations
such
as
the
Institute
for
market
transport
date
transformation
and
the
National
Resources
Defense
Council,
which
are
advising
us
as
part
of
our
Bloomberg
American
cities,
climate
challenge
and
we've
also
had
a
lot
of
small
group
meetings
and
a
number
of
other
meetings
along
with
landlords
city
staff.
D
So
this
is
a
list
of
the
organizations
who
have
signed
on
to
support
this
effort
and
they
include
our
energy
vision,
Advisory
Committee,
as
well
as
our
community,
environmental,
Advisory
Commission,
and
some
of
the
local
organizations,
such
as
the
Center
for
Earth
and
energy
and
democracy.
A
couple
of
neighborhoods,
Sierra,
Club,
fresh
energy
and
and
of
course
Center
for
energy
and
the
environment,
has
been
very
involved
in
helping
us
develop
this
program.
It
will
help
implement
it
as
they've
done
on
many
other
programs.
D
C
D
Councilmember
Jenkins,
we
don't
have
a
good
estimate
on
the
cost
individually
for
properties
and
landlords,
but
we
by
providing
the
information
an
easy-to-use
forum.
We
don't
believe
that
it's
going
to
take
a
lot
of
additional
time
to
to
make
this
happen,
for
example,
on
a
time
of
rent,
if
we're
able
to
utilize
the
plan
that
we
have,
which
would
be
a
web-based
platform,
landlords
would
really
just
need
to
be
giving
their
prospective
tenants
along
with
an
application.
D
Basically
a
user
and
password
to
their
particular
property,
to
see
that
web-based
energy
disclosure
information-
that's
all
they
would
need
to
have
to
do.
They
would
need
to
probably
make
a
slight
change
within
their
application
to
ensure
that
they
have
the
signature
or
add
a
line.
In
that
says,
the
tenant
has
received
the
energy
disclosure
time
of
rent
information
and
just
signing
off
that
they've
done
that,
but
that
is
the
only
additional
requirement
that
we'd
have
there.
D
There
is
some
additional
time
and
energy
that
would
have
to
be
put
in
on
the
truth
and
sale
of
housing.
As
we
talked
about
those,
some
of
those
things
are
already
being
done,
so
we
don't
see
much
additional
time
being
there
moving
forward
on
the
on
the
lower
door
or
the
or
the
small
two-inch
hole
we'll
take
some
additional
time.
But
when
you
think
about
the
overall
cost
savings
over,
you
know
the
length
or
lifetime
of
a
house.
D
You
know
just
insulation
alone,
attic
wall
insulation
here
ceiling
can
save
a
home
order,
30%
of
their
annual
energy
costs
and
on
average
in
Minneapolis.
Our
annual
energy
costs
are
about
eighteen
hundred
dollars
a
year,
so
it's
very
significant,
so
the
payback,
if
you
did
implement
these
you
know,
is
pretty
quick
in
regards
to
the
energy
information
stuff
and
then
on
the
multifamily
benchmarking.
We
have
had
good
experience
with
commercial
property
owners
and
have
not
seen
a
lot
of
pushback
in
regards
to
the
time.
D
It
does
take
some
some
time
to
set
up
the
account
initially
in
the
first
year
with
the
Department
of
Energy's
energy
score
portfolio
manager,
but
once
that's
set
up
you're.
Basically,
transferring
information
that'll
be
provided
in
the
format
needed
directly
from
the
utility
to
the
property
owner
and
that
information
can
then
be
uploaded
and
will
then
be
made
available
to
the
city.
So
it
doesn't
require
a
lot
of
number
crunching
changing
spreadsheets
deciphering
data.
C
These
are
you
know
some
of
the
most
expensive
places
to
rent
in
the
United
States,
and
certainly
we
are
absolutely
concerned
about
Environment
and
climate
change
meeting
our
2050
goals.
I
just
think
we
have
to
try
and
balance
those
goals
with
making
sure
that
people
can
actually
live
in
these
afford
to
live
in
these
apartments
as
well.
F
You
I
think
on
that
point.
I
think
the
point
is
to
make
sure
that
we
can
actually
live
and
that
we
can
survive
climate
change.
I
mean
that's
one
of
the
biggest
reasons
to
do
this,
and,
while
I
I
think
that
while
we
talk
about
the
cost,
one
of
the
this
is
really
and
I
would
call
it
an
on-ramp
ordinance.
It
is
now
requiring
any
of
these
upgrades
when
we
look
across
the
country.
F
Other
states
that
I've
been
impacted,
I,
would
say
more
economically
by
climate
change
more
than
we
have
avoided
some
of
those
costs
for
the
this
very
short
time
being,
but
can
see
that
in
our
future,
they're
mandating
much
more
things.
We're
seeing
that
in
new
construction,
where
California
you
have
to
be
every
roof
has
to
be
sold
already.
They're
looking
at
fossil
fuel
free
building,
like
all
of
these
things,
add
a
lot
of
costs.
F
Your
point
is
really
well
made
that
we
have
to
keep
this
as
an
affordable,
City
and
I.
Think
this
ordinance
does
that,
but
I
actually
just
put
my
on
a
different
point.
Put
this
up
I
would
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
take
the
time
to
just
thank
you,
director
AV,
for
everything.
You've
done
I
think
is
a
very
well
thought
out
in
it.
I'll
have
more
to
say
later,
I
just
want
to
thank
you
and
your
staff
for
the
fabulous
work
you've
done.
A
Are
there
any
other
questions
for
my
colleagues
all
right
thing
now,
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
so
much
for
this
robust
conversation
and
thank
you
for
your
presentation
and
your
work.
So
now
we
are
going
to
open
the
public
hearing.
I
just
want
to
reiterate
that
the
public
hearing
on
the
record
is
for
the
one
point,
items
1
point
1
and
item
1,
point
2,
so
those
are
around
the
residential
energy,
just
closure
ordinances,
just
to
be
clear
about
what
today's
public
hearing
is
on.
A
Please
bear
in
mind
that
each
person
is
limited
to
two
minutes.
We
want
to
be
fair
for
folks
to
be
able
to
have
a
fair
amount
of
time
that
is
equal
if
folks
have
not
already
signed
up
and
are
interested.
In
speaking,
please
speak
to
Madame
clerk
at
the
end
here
to
be
able
to
sign
up
for
on
the
list.
A
G
Good
afternoon
my
name
is
barb
Draper
I
live
in
Northeast,
Minneapolis
and
I.
First
of
all
want
to
thank
you
for
your
climate
action
plan.
I
think
it's
terrific
and
I'm
happy
to
live
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis.
Because
of
that
I
applaud
you
for
your
goals
for
reducing
greenhouse
gases.
As
I
read
your
reports,
online
percent
of
the
greenhouse
gases
in
the
city
come
from
residential
housing.
We've
got
a
lot
of
homes
with
heat
flying
out.
The
walls
and
the
windows.
I
have
two
granddaughters
I
fear
for
what
kind
of
Earth
were
leaving
them.
G
Effortful
of
your
remarks.
I
am
in
favor
of
the
residential
housing
disclosures
I.
Think
as
we
inform
people
of
the
true
costs
of
their
housing
right
now,
it's
kind
of
a
pig
in
a
poke
when
they
go
and
rent
their
place
or
buy
a
new
house.
There's
a
woman
in
the
church
I
attend
the
small
Methodist
Church
in
Northeast
she's
low
income.
She
pays
$200
a
month
wrapped
in
her
heat
costs
exceeds
500.
G
So
there's
definitely
a
question
of.
Can
they
afford
the
hosting
I?
Think
by
things
like
knowing
how
much
wall
insulation
there
is,
will
lead
people
to
take
action
to
actually
improve
it
once
they
know
what
the
conditions
of
the
house
are
I
view.
This
is
like
an
Energy
Star
rating
or
mile
per
gallon
rating
on
my
car
I
pay
attention
to
those
things.
I
know
other
people
do
it
influences
by
our
decisions.
I
think
this
will
influence
by
our
decisions
and
I
think
it
will
also
influence
people
to
upgrade
the
heating
efficiency
in
their
homes.
G
They'll
be
pushed
back
on
this
I
hope.
You'll
stay
the
course,
it's
easier
to
say
we're
going
to
lose
20
pounds
in
January
than
to
actually
carry
it
out.
You've
stated
the
goals.
Now,
no,
it's
the
implement
things
that
are
actually
going
to
make
a
difference.
They'll
be
pushed
back
and
I
hope.
You
asked
us
and
stay
the
course.
Thank
you
very
much.
H
My
name
is
Rebecca
Olson
I
am
a
newly
appointed
chair
of
evac,
the
energy
vision,
Advisory
Council,
our
committee
of
the
minneapolis
clean
energy
partnership,
and
I'm
here
today
to
read
a
letter
on
behalf
of
evac
that
was
written
to
council
members
and
the
clean
energy
partnership
board.
The
energy
vision,
Advisory
Committee,
writes
in
support
of
the
proposed
amendments
to
the
city,
organ
ordinances
that
would
enable
residential
energy
disclosure.
H
We
believe
these
policy
amendments
are
necessary
and
important
tools
that
will
utilize
low
and
no-cost
resources
to
help
the
city
meet
its
adopted
energy
vision,
as
well
as
climate
and
environmental
justice
goals,
and
these
policies
will
empower
Minneapolis
residents
to
understand
how
much
their
utility
bills
will
cost
as
they
choose
where
to
live
and
incentivize
energy
efficiency
that
will
save
money
and
reduce
energy.
Carbon
emissions,
as
the
city
deepens
its
work
to
improve
housing,
affordability
and
address
equity.
It
isn't.
H
It
is
critical
that
all
residents
understand
energy
costs,
regardless
of
their
homeowner
renter
status
or
the
type
of
property
they
live.
In.
A
Clean
Energy
Partnership
Board
adopted
the
2019
through
2021
work
plan
last
November,
which
included
partnership
activity.
Ee
point:
five
to
support
residential
energy
disclosure
policies
through
data
accessibility
and
tools.
A
key
component
of
this
activity
is
the
city
adopting
the
proposed
residential
energy
disclosure
policies
in
early
2019,
so
We
strongly
support
the
2019
2020
one
work
plan.
H
The
inclusion
of
this
partnership
activity,
ee
point
five
and
the
passage
of
these
valuable
policies
by
the
city
evac
encourages
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
clean
energy
partnership
board
members
and
the
tight
entirety
of
the
city
council
member
to
support
these
energy
disclosure
policies.
Thank
you.
Thank.
I
Chair
Cunningham
members
of
the
committee,
thank
you
so
much
for
allowing
me
to
speak.
My
name
is
Zachary
Hart
I'm,
with
the
Institute
for
market
transformation,
we're
a
national
nonprofit
that
supports
energy
efficiency
in
buildings,
working
primarily
with
cities
and
real
estate
companies
I'm.
Also
a
resident
of
Minneapolis
Ward,
7
I,
just
wanted
to
say
to
be
very
quick.
I
Imt
has
acted
and
continues
to
act
as
an
adviser
to
many
of
the
many
cities
implementing
policies
such
as
the
ones
we're
talking
about
today.
That
includes
Minneapolis,
but
also
our
Midwestern
peer
cities
of
Denver,
Colorado,
st.
Louis,
Missouri,
Kansas,
City,
Missouri
and
Chicago
two
council
member
jenkins
point:
we've
worked
now
with
27
cities,
with
benchmarking
and
transparency,
ordinances,
22
of
those
cities,
their
ordinances
also
cover
multifamily
properties
and,
in
addition
to
the
cities
I
just
mentioned
there,
Orlando
Florida,
Atlanta,
Georgia,
Reno
Nevada,
recently
passed.
I
So
it's
not
just
the
stole
cities
where
housing
is
very
expensive.
This
is
becoming
mainstream
and
I
could
laud
the
city
for
its
leadership
in
2013,
passing
a
commercial
ordinance
and
I.
Think
to
this
step.
The
step
being
proposed
here
would
be
a
great
achievement
and
climate
leadership
for
the
Midwest
and
for
Minneapolis
in
particular.
I
Collecting
and
sharing
information
about
the
energy
performance
of
buildings
is
correlated
with
reductions
in
energy
consumption.
I
think
that's
something
that's
very
important
for
us
to
note.
These
policies
now,
as
I
said
available
across
the
country,
are
starting
to
show
that
they're
correlated
with
energy
reductions
in
Denver
buildings
of
benchmarked
in
both
2016
and
2017,
have
cut
their
weather,
normalized
energy
use
by
four
and
a
half
percent.
That's
saving,
roughly
13.5
million
dollars
in
Chicago,
as
Kim
may
be
pointed
out.
I
A
four
point:
four
percent
reduction
has
been
observed
for
buildings
out
of
benchmarked
over
four
consecutive
years,
and
the
multifamily
housing
sector
in
Chicago
decreased
its
energy
use
intensity,
so
they
energy
use
per
square
foot
by
six
percent
between
2015
and
2017,
and
finally,
we've
seen
reductions
here
in
the
commercial
side
in
Minneapolis
and
I
would
just
point
out
that
the
staff
has
done
it.
I
think
a
very
commendable
job
of
supporting
building
owners
as
a
benchmark,
and
we
can
expect
that
support
to
continue
if
the
multifamily
ordinance
is
adopted.
Thank
you.
Thank.
J
Chair
County,
Human
Council
members.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
share
support
for
proposed
energy
data
policies.
Today
my
name
is
Ben
rabe
and
I'm.
A
senior
policy
associate
at
fresh
energy,
focusing
on
building
energy
efficiency
as
an
independent
energy
policy,
nonprofit
working
to
speed
the
transition
to
a
clean
energy
economy.
Fresh
energy
recognizes
the
potential
of
this
proposed
policy
suite
to
bolster
the
city's
sustainability
efforts
by
promoting
the
conservation
and
efficient
use
of
energy
in
buildings
across
Minneapolis.
J
The
city
of
Minneapolis
had
made
great
strides
towards
reducing
its
greenhouse
gas
emissions,
surpassing
the
2015
emission
reduction
goals,
and
definitely
this
is
in
part
to
do
with
the
existing
commercial
benchmarking
policy.
However,
further
action
is
needed
to
ensure
that
the
city
meets
its
2025
and
2050
goals,
as
proposed
Energy's
culture
policies
are
critical
to
help
Minneapolis
achieve
the
targets
identified
in
the
climate
action
plan.
J
Xcel
Energy
has
already
developed
and
implemented
a
portal
that
allows
customers
to
track
their
energy
usage
and
Senator
point.
Energy
has
a
similar
tool
and
development.
We
believe
these
data
portals
will
serve
as
valuable
tools
for
multifamily
building
owners
and
will
seamlessly
integrate
with
city's
proposed
policy,
making
the
process
easier
for
owners
to
comply
with
the
benchmarking
policy.
K
Afternoon
my
name
is
ben
passer,
I'm
director
of
energy
access
and
equity
at
fresh
energy,
and
I
just
wanted
to
touch
briefly
on
the
energy
benchmarking
part
of
the
policies,
as
well
as
the
time
of
rent
policies
as
well.
I
think
we
all
have
recognized
that
the
city
is
facing
an
affordable
housing,
housing
shortage
and
I
think
expanding
the
city's
energy
benchmarking
policy
to
multifamily
properties
would
allow
multi-family
building
owners
to
make
informed
investment
decisions
that
reduce
operating
costs
can
promote
affordability
and
improve
health
and
comfort
in
units.
K
Also,
on
the
time
of
rent
policy,
it
would
really
give
renters
a
decision-making
power
that
I
think
has
historically
been
difficult
for
renters
to
obtain
otherwise
and
would
really
allow
them
to
make
informed
decisions
about
the
units
that
you
know,
as
we've
recognized,
are
difficult
to
attain
at
this
time.
So
I
think
you
know.
In
closing,
we
fully
support
the
city
of
Minneapolis
s
proposal.
K
We
hope
you
and
the
council
at
large
will
vote
to
approve
these
policies
and
we
believe
that,
through
the
passage
of
the
city's
proposed
policies,
many
Apple
we'll
continue
to
be
a
leader
in
sustainability
and
provide
significant
economic,
equitable
and
public
health
benefits
for
all
its
communities
for
years
to
come.
Thank
you.
L
Good
afternoon,
chair
Cunningham
and
members,
the
peace
committee,
my
name
is
Alan
Campbell
and
I'm.
Speaking
today
on
behalf
of
the
community
environmental
Advisory
Commission,
also
known
as
siak
ciick,
has
voted
to
support.
These
proposed
ordinance
changes
not
only
for
environmental
reasons,
but
also
because
we
believe
the
changes
would
lead
to
long
term
cost
savings
from
minneapolis
residents,
transportation
and
the
generation
of
electricity
are
the
two
principal
sources
of
climate.
L
Changing
greenhouse
gases
in
the
United
States,
but
the
heating
and
cooling
of
buildings
is
a
close
third
in
Minneapolis
residential
buildings
account
for
29
percent
of
co2
emissions.
That's
from
a
Siemens
report
for
2015
I've
seen
other
numbers,
but
they're
all
in
the
20%
plus
range,
so
improving
their
energy
efficiency
would
be
a
key
step
toward
enabling
the
city
to
reach
its
climate
action
plan
goal
of
an
80%
reduction
in
greenhouse
gas
emissions
by
2050.
L
Multifamily
benchmarking,
at
a
time
of
rent
energy
disclosure
requirement,
would
give
renters
transparency
into
the
total
cost
of
housing
they
would
be
facing
and
perhaps
more
importantly,
it
would
encourage
landlords
who
pass
utility
costs
to
renters
to
improve
insulation
and
make
other
energy
efficiency
upgrades
that
would
make
the
unit's
more
competitive
in
the
market.
Similarly,
the
proposed
amendments
to
the
truth
and
sale
of
housing
ordinance
would
be
expected
to
result
in
a
net
savings
for
homeowners.
L
As
the
energy
de
closure
disclosure
report
would
prioritize
asset
investment
recommendations
based
on
project
cost
effectiveness,
70%
of
Minneapolis
homes
lack
adequate
insulation,
and
this
is
a
particular
problem
with
homes
built
before
1980,
and
these
are
purported
disproportionately
owned
or
rented
by
our
lowest
income
residents.
If
this
amendment
results
in
sellers
or
new
owners
taking
cost
effective
measures
to
insulate
homes,
it
would
be
a
significant
boost
in
energy
cost
savings
and
greenhouse
gas
reduction
taken
together.
L
These
amendments
would
make
energy
costs
more
transparent,
encourage
cost
efficient
energy
efficiency
projects
and
would
reduce
overall
heating
costs,
which
are
the
most
which
are
most
burdensome
to
low-income
residents.
The
amendments
would
also
lead
to
reduced
electricity
consumption
and,
with
us,
ease
the
way
to
meeting
the
city's
goals
of
100%
renewable
electricity
community-wide
by
2030
and
reducing
greenhouse
gas
emissions
by
80%
by
2050.
Thank
you.
A
M
Eric
Meyers
good
afternoon,
members
of
the
committee,
my
name
is
Eric
Meyers
government
affairs,
director
for
the
minneapolis
area,
association
of
realtors,
representing
8,500
realtors
in
the
minneapolis
area,
I'd
like
to
thank
you
to
be
heard
regarding
energy
disclosures
and
the
asset
rating
portion
of
this
truth
and
sale.
Ordinance,
say
I
also
like
to
thank
council
member
shredder
and
for
getting
this
involved
early
in
early
stakeholder
discussions,
and
our
dialogue
on
this
ordinance
has
been
very
appreciated
by
myself
and
our
members
to
this
point.
M
So
I
really
want
to
appreciate
that
Realtors
have
long
been
opposed
to
Tisch
programs,
because
modern
financing
already
includes
multiple
inspections.
In
fact,
95%
of
all
buyers
who
obtain
will
obtain
their
own
pre-purchase
inspections.
That
said,
our
government
affairs
committee
did
composed
of
members,
did
extensively
review
the
changes
of
all
three
ordinances,
but
we're
to
speak
specifically
to
the
Tisch.
We
recognize
the
city
and
their
efforts
on
the
climate
action
plan.
We
have
the
same
commitment
to
sustainability,
Realtors
at
bottom
line.
Realtors
buyers
and
sellers
are
all
clearly
benefit
for
more
energy-efficient
homes.
M
However,
we
do
oppose
new
we've
test
requirements
for
residential
property,
adding
energies
going
to
the
truth--and
sale.
It's
not
the
most
effective
method
of
achieving
the
home
energy
efficiency
goals,
and
that
is
specifically
for
because
only
for
three
to
four
percent
of
homes
are
for
sale
in
any
given
year.
This
left
my
members
immediately
saying
what
about
the
other
ninety
six
percent
of
all
homes,
so
we
believe
this
program
is
too
narrowly
focused
on
for
sale
homes.
M
We
believe
that
presents
barriers
to
homeownership
increases
transaction
costs,
lengths
of
Lending's
inspection
times
and
offers
a
minimal
range
of
effectiveness.
By
focusing
on
only
for
sale
homes,
we
believe
it
creates
a
competitive
disadvantage
from
minneapolis
homes
and
it
expands
the
original
scope
of
the
tsch
program
beyond
health
and
safety.
There
are
concerns
about
the
potential
hazards
regarding
the
blower
door
test
on
cost-effectiveness
and
the
potential
hazards.
There's
concerns
about
the
liability
of
drilling
the
two-inch
hole,
I
think
some
of
that
was
answered
today.
M
N
Afternoon
good
afternoon
welcome
Sharon
members
I'm
already
McDonough
from
the
Minnesota
multi
Housing,
Association
and
I'm
here,
mainly
just
to
talk
about
the
process
and
how
fantastic
your
staff
has
been.
Council
members,
Gordon
and
Schrader
Carlie
and
Robin
have
been
in
touch
with
our
members
and
held
multiple
briefings
with
mr.
Doran
from
the
Cee
and
Katie
Jones,
and
mr.
Havey.
We've
had
extensive
meetings
about
this
and
have
been
involved
in
the
process
and
were
able
to
give
I
think
some
pretty
good
feedback.
N
So
the
timeline
is
very
generous
for
our
members
to
get
this
system
in
place
and
there
is
I
think
ample
assistance
being
offered
from
the
utilities
and,
frankly
many
of
our
larger
members
already
do
this
stuff.
I
mean
this
is
a
large
cost
to
a
larger
property,
which
also
is
the
the
first
ones
in
are
the
largest
ones.
So
we
think
if
it's
as
user-friendly
as
it's
been
portrayed
to
us,
this
is
going
to
be
a
great
tool
for
everyone.
So
thank
you.
A
O
I
know
it's
the
thermostat
up
and
despite
never
having
an
energy
on
it,
I
know
exactly
what
the
problems
are
and
so
do
most
buyers.
It's
not
a
complicated
issue,
there's
just
a
few
components
of
the
home,
and
you
know
we
talk
with
buyers
all
the
time
about
these
issues
and
what
they
can
do
to
to
make
savings.
O
The
real
problem,
the
real
challenge,
is
getting
them
to
actually
spend
the
money
to
do
the
savings,
most
buyers
plan
to
say
for
less
than
ten
years,
and
it's
hard
to
you
know,
spend
a
few
thousand
dollars
on
something.
That's
gonna
say
if
a
few
hundred
dollars
a
year
now
this
is
an
area
where
we
may
be
able
to
help.
Our
association
has
long
been
very
active
with
data.
O
Okay,
another
thing
with
regards
to
dad
we're
in
a
seller's
market,
and
everyone
knows
that
most
homes
are
selling
almost
everybody
has
equity,
but
not
too
long
ago,
less
than
half
the
homes
were
selling
not
too
many
people
had
equity.
Now
imagine
spending
six
to
seven
hundred
dollars
on
an
inspection
in
their
home
doesn't
even
sell.
Okay
I've
spent
a
lot
of
my
years,
working
with
distressed
property
owners
losing
their
homes
and
foreclosure
that
don't
have
any
any
money
and
a
lot
of
these
people.
This
may
be
the
decision
that
makes
them
walk
away
as.
K
O
P
Thank
You
mr.
chair
members,
my
name
is
Christopher
and
I'm,
president
of
center
for
energy
and
environment
and
I
want
to
thank
council
members,
Gordon
and
Traer,
particularly
for
bringing
this
forward
as
well
as
all
the
stakeholders
have
participated,
who
you've
heard
from
some
of
them
already
I'm
just
going
to
limit
my
comments
to
the
truth
and
self
housing
proposal.
P
If
you
live
in
one
of
the
coldest
urban
areas
in
America,
you
should
know
whether
your
home
is
under
insulated
and
our
decades
of
experience
in
this
show
that
approximately
70%
of
Minneapolis
homes
are
under
insulated.
We
know
from
this
experience
that
wall
insulation
is
a
particular
need,
and
you've
heard
from
folks
about
that.
I
think
some,
but
home
owners
will
make
this
improvement.
If
have
a
better
understanding
of
it,
in
our
experience
to
upgrade
an
existing
wall,
we
use
a
technique
called
dense
packing,
which
was
developed
actually
in
Minneapolis
in
the
1980s.
P
It's
now
a
national
standard,
and
this
technique
saves
energy
but
equally
important.
It
improves
comfort
and
it
increases
housing
durability
because
it
blocks
the
flow
of
warm
moist
air
into
wall
cavities.
So
several
cities
have
enacted
similar
disclosure
policies.
Those
cities
have
typically
required
a
separate
Home,
Energy
Audit
and
by
building
upon
the
tissue
inspection.
This
approach
will
not
require
a
separate
visit
which
will
streamline
it
for
both
the
seller
and
the
buyer
and
add
minimal
time
and
cost.
P
Haley
covered
wall
inspections
quite
well,
but
we
have
been
doing
this
method
of
drilling
2
inch
holes
in
walls
for
over
30
years,
and
it's
a
common
practice
both
here
across
the
country
done
in
thousands
of
homes,
actually
tens
of
thousands
of
homes-
and
this
is
not
a
source
of
problems
with
source
of
liability,
complaints
or
concerns,
and
it's
a
quick
process.
It
takes
approximately
5
to
10
minutes
very
much.
Thank
you.
Next.
Q
Chair
Cunningham
members
of
the
committee
and
I'm
with
the
organization
community
power
and
want
to
say
Minneapolis,
has
an
opportunity
to
show
leadership
and
be
an
inspiration
to
additional
cities.
I
know
when
I
was
in
the
process
of
buying
a
home
about
a
year
and
a
half
ago.
It
would
have
been
nice
for
me
to
get
the
miles
per
gallon
equivalent
of
the
house
and
compare
it
to
other
options.
Q
It's
as
part
of
giving
residents
the
information
they
need
to
make
informed
choices
when
buying
or
renting
and
the
the
way
this
suite
of
policies
enhances
residential
energy
awareness
will
and
incentivize
building
owners
to
pursue
the
energy
efficiency
improvements
that
is
frequently
lacking
when
the
energy
and
utility
cost
are
passed
on
to
tenants.
It'll
help
tenants
get
a
fair
accounting
for
the
total
expenses
of
a
home
that
might
not
be,
or
that
isn't
reflected
in
the
rent.
Q
It's
the
the
proposed
policies
are
important
pieces
to
the
to
the
puzzle
and
that
will
also
leverage
existing
city
processes
and
last
I
would
like
to
say
that
to
voice
support
for
the
workforce
development
plan,
but
but
making
an
intentional
effort
so
that
the
job
training
will
be
accessible
to
the
residents
of
the
green
zones.
Thank
you.
R
You,
chair
Cunningham
members
of
the
council,
my
name
is
mark
von
Horst
I've
been
in
the
same
house
in
south
Minneapolis
for
40
years.
I
recently
had
an
energy
audit
I.
My
reports
show
that
I'm
top
of
the
pack
and
I
was
surprised
to
find
out.
Oh
I,
sure
I
needed
more
insulation
in
my
roof,
there's
actually
an
open
spot.
That
was
the
air
was
coming
up
and
there
was
frost
in
my
insulation,
and
so
it's
gonna
be
beneficial.
R
Even
if
you
think
your
based
on
the
general
data,
you
think
he's
going
pretty
well
I'm
here,
primarily
as
a
member
of
the
Minnesota
interfaith
Power
&
Light
policy
team
and
First
Universalist
environmental
justice,
team,
I
handed
in
a
petitions
or
signatures
with
from
50
people
at
my
church.
Strongly
supporting
this
move.
Barb
Draper
is
also
a
member
of
the
IPL
policy
team.
R
She
just
turned
in
45
signatures,
so
I
think
there's
broad
broad
support
in
the
liberal
religious
community
for
what
you're
doing
for
the
tremendous
importance
to
save
our
climate
and
also
in
particularly
what
a
great
thing
this
is
for
equity,
the
ordinance
that
you
have
the
franchise
for
your
ordinance
and
what
the
city
is
doing
with.
That
is
absolutely
world-class
in
terms
of
trying
to
deal
with
energy
efficiency
and
in
dealing
with
equity
and
I.
Think
this
move
now
is
just
hand
in
glove
with
that
effort.
R
I
think
it
isn't
on
ramp,
as
councilmember
Schroeder
suggested
way
to
expand
the
awareness
that
there
are
lots
of
programs,
especially
aimed
at
low
and
moderate
income.
Households
where
we
can
make
major
changes
in
the
housing
stock,
make
major
impact
on
global
warming
and
really
improve
people's
comfort
in
their
homes,
and
the
economics
and
I
have
a
little
spot
in
my
in
my
closet,
where
that
that
that
two-inch
hole
was
was
drilled,
I
knew
it
19:43
house
I,
know
I
didn't
have
any
insulation,
there
was
no
big
deal
to
crack.
R
S
Good
afternoon,
chair,
cunningham
and
council,
thanks
for
having
me
I
am
Todd.
Shipman
I
am
a
realtor
in
the
Twin
Cities
I'm.
Also
a
Minneapolis
resident
the
past
president
military
association,
Realtors
I,
stood
on
the
board
of
directors
at
the
national
state
and
local
associations
and
I'm
also
on
the
executive
committee
of
our
local
analyst
system,
I'm.
Also
a
chair
2018
at
the
National
Association
of
Realtors
sustainability
advisory
group,
which
developed
a
set
of
strategic
initiatives
for
the
National
Association
that
will
now
be
adopted
by
the
state
and
local
associations
across
the
country.
S
The
Realtors
are
24,000
members
strong
in
the
state,
we're
looking
now
beyond
the
city
boundaries
and
how
we
can
advocate
and
work
with
the
other
communities
across
this
state
to
make
this
program,
or
whatever
you're
developing
here
in
this
process
effective
for
our
members
and
for
the
consumer,
we're
here
to
advocate
for
energy
audits,
assessments
and
measurements
in
efficiencies,
but
also
looking
at
ways
to
add
value
to
property.
More
importantly,
you
know
how
we
can
make
those
properties
more
marketable
and
interesting
to
buyers
at
the
time
of
the
sale.
S
We're
working
on
a
whist
on
a
way
to
provide
the
buyers
with
energy
efficiency
information,
but
also
the
actual
cost
of
energy
in
those
properties
at
the
time
of
sale,
we're
here
to
educate
and
inform
our
members
and
the
consumer
about
energy
advocacy,
energy
efficiency
and
how
to
best
improve
their
quality
of
life.
We're
also
here
to
add
value,
take
action,
lower
our
carbon
footprint
and
try
to
do
a
lot
of
those
things
from
the
Realtors
perspective.
S
T
Afternoon
councilmember,
chair
Cunningham
and
our
other
esteemed
council
members
I'm
a
real
estate
agent.
I
am
a
resident
of
the
4th
Ward
I
have
been
through.
Oh
so
many
houses
over
the
years
and
I
agree
with
many
of
aspects
of
this
proposal
and
I
particularly
appreciate
the
acknowledgement
that
a
homeowner
could
retain
control
of
over
where
that
hole
is
made
in
their
house,
I
think
in
order
to
get
the
greatest
buy-in
from
the
general
public,
they
need
to
have
a
little
bit
of
say
in
this
process.
T
I
also
think
that
when
you're
going
through
this
process,
we
should
be
looking
at
the
entire
ordinance.
One
of
the
things
that
concerns
me
is
that
when
you
read
the
ordinance
the
way
it
is
written,
there
is
a
misdemeanor
that
can
be
applied
to
not
only
the
homeowner
but
also
the
real
estate
agent
involved
in
the
transaction
for
not
obtaining
a
truth
and
sale.
A
misdemeanor
is
something
along
the
lines
of
according
to
Wikipedia,
because
I've
never
gotten
that
misdemeanor.
T
It's
vandalism,
trespass
our
prostitution.
So
maybe
we
could
reform
the
ordinance
to
have
a
penalty,
but
maybe
not
something
quite
along
those
lines.
I'd
also
like
to
propose
that
you
take
this
one
step
farther
and
you
look
at
a
rebate
program
for
homeowners
of
any
income
and
low
to
moderate
income
neighborhoods,
because
so
many
of
these
programs
that
are
out
there
have
an
income
limitation,
and
yet
the
homeowners
and
low
to
moderate
income
neighborhoods
have
overall,
in
many
cases
a
lower
resale
value.
T
T
Impossible
home
equity
to
tap
into
many
of
the
programs
already
have
forty-eight
percent
loan
to
debt
to
income
ratios,
so
a
borrower
is
going
to
struggle
to
get
access
to
that
money.
Many
homeowners
on
the
north
side
want
to
pay
for
their
provements
in
cash,
and
so
a
rebate
program
would
be
very
valuable.
I
appreciate
your
time.
Thank
you
so
much
for
listening
and
having
this
process
available
to
us.
A
U
Renters
I
worked
on
benchmarking
in
apartment
buildings
about
five
years
ago,
and
we
had
a
pilot
program
that
helped
more
than
500
multifamily
buildings,
benchmark
their
properties
and
the
owners
found
it
to
be
very
valuable
because
they
wanted
to
understand
their
buildings
and
provide
higher
quality
housing.
One
of
the
challenges
they
faced
was
getting
the
data
and
another
was
knowing
what
to
do
with
it
and
how
to
understand
it
and
I'm
very
excited
that
this
particular
program
addresses
those
issues
so
effectively
and
steers
people
to
opportunities
to
make
that
better.
U
It's
healthier
for
my
tenants,
because
you
know
energy-efficient
buildings
are
healthier,
it's
more
comfortable
for
them,
and
I
can
say
last
week,
even
though
we
have
an
efficient
building,
it
wasn't
as
comfortable
in
the
house
as
I
would
have
liked
and
then
also
because
it's
good
for
the
planet,
now
I've
learned
as
I've
advertised
my
building
as
a
green
building.
That
tenants
really
want
to
know,
and
they
really
want
an
efficient
building.
You
can
tell
when
somebody
is
looking
for
their
second
or
third
apartment
and
last
go-around.
U
They
forgot
to
ask
about
those
utility
costs,
because
they
want
to
know
our
utilities
included
or
am
I
going
to
get
a
$400
surprise
bill
in
January.
I
am
excited
about
this
disclosure
because
it
means
everyone
will
be
reminded
of
that
when
they're
looking
for
apartments,
not
just
people
who
were
stuck
with
that
excessively
high
utility
bill
last
year,
but
people
who
are
also
looking
for
their
first
apartment
building.
So
thank
you
for
this
work.
V
V
So
a
lot
of
my
clients
are
increasingly
asking
for
energy
efficiency
in
their
projects,
and
one
of
the
discussions
that
we
have
because
we
are
so
focused
on
affordability-
is
what
value
are
they
getting
out
of
that?
So
for
the
single-family
residence
they
are
getting
an
increased
value
in
lower
energy
bills
and
increased
health
and
wellness,
but
being
able
to
say
well.
When
you
sell
your
house,
people
will
know
that
you've
gone
above
and
Beyond
code
and
are
saving
additional
funds
in
your
project.
V
I
think
would
do
a
lot
of
work
to
help
them
just
make
a
little
initial
investment,
because
they
know
that
they're
getting
that
back
when
they're
going
to
sell
the
same
caught
side
of
things
on
affordable
housing.
The
cost
of
rent
is
a
really
important
concern
for
the
developers
who
are
who
are
making
these
projects
happen,
and
if
they
can
know
that
their
renters
are
going
to
be
able
to
see
the
full
cost
of
rental,
including
energy
costs
when
they're
renting.
W
Good
afternoon,
chair,
Cunningham
and
council
members,
I
am
speaking
mostly
just
to
support
the
ordinance
the
ordinance
today,
but
also
wanted
to
bring
in
some
points
about
the
implementation
and
other
packaging
around
these
disclosure
ordinances.
So
I'm,
a
resident
of
Council,
americanos,
Ward
and
I
currently
live
in
an
apartment
where
the
laundry
machine
is
on
an
unheated
porch
and
we
weren't
told
about
it,
and
so
are
our
bill
is
now
skyrockets
in
the
winter,
because
we
have
to
turn
on
electric
heaters.
So
the
pipes
don't
freeze.
W
W
So
I
want
to
thank
you
for
including
water
into
this.
That's
a
really
important
component
of
what
our
resources
are
and
what
costs
are
and
I've
heard
landlords
talk
about
water
bills
as
a
key
issue
and
also
wanted
to
just
add
to
the
list
of
people
who
were
throwing
their
support
behind
this
I
talked
to
folks
at
Nokomis
East
Neighborhood
Association,
who
are
members
of
the
energy
efficiency
pilot
two
years
ago
here
and
they're
also
excited
about
this
set
of
disclosures.
W
Yes,
I
can
understand
this
I'm,
making
sure
that
there's
language
accessibility
there
as
well
I
think
it
would
also
be
great
to
have
other
things
that
folks
can
do
if
they
don't
have
the
capital
at
the
moment.
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
resources
available
to
get
folks
to
have
capital.
You
know
the
0%
interests
financing.
W
One
is
just
having
the
city
engaged
the
state
policy
level
to
increase
the
building
standard,
the
building
code,
because
it's
always
cheapest
to
do
it
right
the
first
time
and
then
maybe
having
some
sort
of
way
of
dissimilar
to
the
truth.
Sorry
they're
paid,
sick
and
save
time.
Just
what
is
the
implement?
What
is
the
enforcement
around
this?
How
do
people
know
that
they
should
be
getting
this
information?
Thank
you.
X
You
mr.
chair
members
of
the
committee,
my
name
is
sue
crema
and
I'm
with
Mid
Minnesota
legal
aid.
I
live
in
the
city,
but
I'm
here
to
speak
on
behalf
of
low-income
tenants,
and
we
support
this
piece
of
disorders
to
ordinance
changes
but
in
particular
the
ordinance
proposal
that
would
make
energy
costs
more
available
to
tenants
before
they
rent.
There's
some
discussion
earlier
about
how
the
cost
of
housing
might
increase
because
of
this
proposal.
X
I
think,
in
fact,
that
the
reality
a
lot
particularly
for
tenants
who
are
low-income
is
that
the
cost
of
energy
is
already
a
major
part
of
their
housing.
It's
a
big
deal.
A
lot
of
tenants
are
in
housing
court.
The
tenants
we
represent
are
there
every
day,
because
they're
facing
eviction
that
stems
from
a
utility
bill,
so
having
that
information
made
known
to
them
sooner
can
actually
could
improve
the
decision
making
that
they
do
I
have
a
particular
case.
X
I
wanted
to
tell
you
about
clients
of
mine
who
has
a
single
mom,
five
kids,
she
rented
a
house.
She
has
a
voucher.
The
housing
authority
agreed
to
say
that
she
would
be
responsible
for
the
utility
payments,
the
heat
payments
when
the
winter
came
around.
She
was
only
paying
$200
in
rent
because
she
had
a
voucher,
but
she
was
paying
$500
in
heat
bills.
She
requested
an
audit.
The
audit
then
revealed
from
Xcel
revealed
that
there
was
no
insulation
virtually
anywhere
in
that
house.
X
The
insulation
in
the
Attic
had
worn
down
to
such
an
extent
that
there
was
basically
non-functioning.
She
had
the
sort
of
old
newspapers
in
the
walls
like
I
do,
but
it
was
in
her
case
extremely
degraded,
and
she
was
spending
a
fortune
on
heat.
She
also
had
a
child
who
needed
more
heat
in
the
home
in
order
to
for
his
care
needs,
and
so
that
made
it
even
worse
now.
The
law
that
currently
exists
says
that
landlords
should
have
to
maintain
a
property
at
a
decent
level
of
energy
efficiency.
X
That's
what
the
law
already
states
and
so
there's
a
remedy
for
that
particular
tenant
when
we're
in
court,
but
most
folks,
as
you
guys
know,
don't
make
it
to
court
or
they
don't
have
a
lawyer
to
represent
them,
and
so
this
ordinance
I
think
levels
the
playing
field
for
everyone
involved
and
could
make
housing
a
lot
cheaper
for
folks
out
there.
Thank
you
for
the
proposal
and
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak.
A
Y
Afternoon
hi,
my
name
is
Peter
Schmidt
I
am
also
a
small
landlord
or
a
small
landlord
mom-and-pop
type
shop.
We
own
the
triplex
and
a
duplex
and
the
three
pieces
I
just
wanted
to
bring
up
for
this.
These
ordinances
changes
is
that
I
do
not
find
this
to
be
a
burden
as
a
small
landlord,
as
was
brought
up,
was
already
a
lot
being
asked
of
landlords
were
already
registering
folks
to
vote
for
me.
Y
I
actually
appreciate
this
move
because
there's
a
standardization
component
to
it,
where
my
wife
and
I
right
now
we're
kind
of
ad-hoc
doing
a
lot
of
these
things.
After
we
bought
our
house,
we
met
up
going
through
an
energy
audit
and
we
found
that
we
only
have
a
double
plaster
wall.
It's
back
plastered,
so
there's
already
a
lot
of
extra
considerations.
They
had
to
go
in
and
is
first-time
homebuyers.
We
didn't
think
about
a
lot
of
that
going
in
so
it'd
have
been
nice
to
do
that
upfront.
Y
Otherwise,
we
can't
lend
at
that
same
rate,
so
being
able
to
rope
to
wrap
in
our
finance
into
that.
0%
allows
us
to
be
a
little
bit
more
flexible
with
how
we're
finding
long-term
assets.
So
you
know
I
already
work
in
an
organization
we're
trying
to
fight
climate
change,
they're
working
community,
solar-
and
you
know
the
generation
side
of
the
climate
change
fight.
The
solar
side
of
things
is
often
seen
is
pretty
sexy,
but
I'm
excited
with
these
ordinances
that
were
shown
a
little
bit
of
love
energy
efficiency
as
well.
So
thank
you
very
much.
Y
Z
Afternoon,
chair
Cunningham
members
of
council,
I'm,
Alexis
boxer
I'm
here
on
behalf
of
the
Sierra
Club
first
want
to
say
thank
you
to
all
of
you
for
your
work,
especially
to
the
Office
of
Sustainability
and
councilmember
Schrader
and
Gordon's
staff
for
their
work
to
engage
folks
in
these
issues.
I'm
here
on
behalf
of
the
Sierra
Club,
you
all
should
have
received
a
letter
from
our
chapter
director
state,
dr.
Margaret
Levin,
on
Friday,
but
I'm
here,
because
we
believe
energy
disclosure
is
a
key
strategy
for
Minneapolis
is
aims
to
equitably
address
climate
change.
If
implemented.
Z
These
low
and
no-cost
policy
levers
would
incentivize
more
efficiency,
improvement
simultaneously.
Reducing
emissions
and
improving
housing,
affordability
for
Minneapolis
residents,
a
multi-family
benchmarking
ordinance
would
better
equip
the
city
with
the
information
needed
to
better
inform
our
carbon
reduction
strategies.
We
believe
time
of
sale.
Energy
disclosure
would
increase
energy
transparency
among
home
buyers
and
sellers
and
the
time
of
rent
energy
disclosure
among
landlords
and
tenants
an
increased
energy
efficiency
as
a
result
of
these
policies
would
lower
energy
bills,
insulating
low
income,
homeowners
and
renters
from
unexpected
energy
costs.
Z
Adopting
energy
disclosure
policies
would
be
in
alignment
with
the
city's
equity
goals,
the
city's
100%
renewable
electricity
resolution,
the
climate
action
plan
and
the
clean
energy
partnership
work
plan.
We
support
the
creation
of
sound
policy
that
benefits
our
community
and
moves
us
towards
commitment
to
clean
energy
and
sustainability,
doing
so,
while
centering
equity
and
ensuring
those
most
impacted
by
pollution
or
high
utility
rates
are
prioritized
in
both
the
creation
and
implementation
of
such
proposals.
So
thank
you
all
for
your
work
and
thank
you
for
your
time.
Thank
you.
A
AA
Is
yours
thank
you,
I'm
Chris,
Mayer
park
board
Commissioner
for
district
1
and
also
a
very
active
member
of
the
DFL
environmental
caucus.
I
was
previously
the
chair
of
their
endorsement
committee
and
we
endorsed
most
of
you
and
I'm
sure
we
would
have
nurse
council
member
Gordon
I
give
her
a
switch
party
to
do
a
little
in
the
future.
AA
But
this
is
exactly
the
type
of
issue
that
were
very
grateful
that
you're
all
taking
on
given
the
magnitude
of
the
problems
that
we're
dealing
with
in
climate
change,
I
feel
this
is
a
very
modest
ask
to
be
making
of
landlords.
Indeed,
I
think
you
could
be
making
much
larger
asks.
I'm
encouraged
by
councilmember
Schrader's
comments.
This
is
an
on-ramp
which
I
hope
means
that
there
will
be
further
action
down
the
line,
but
for
now
this
is
a
very
good
start.
AA
If
you
look
back
to
that,
chart
that
staff
proposed,
but
up
there,
the
years
where
those
regulations
came
into
effect,
don't
correspond
to
the
years
where
prices
really
started
by
rocketing
was
long
before
that
that
cities,
like
san
francisco
in
new
york,
became
expensive
places
to
live.
I
feel
that
a
regulation
like
this
might
have
some
upfront
costs,
but
will
pay
for
itself
over
time,
so
I
really
encourage
you
to
take
this
first
step.
Thank
you.
AB
So
I'm
Marcus
Mills
with
community
power
and
I've
Ward
three
most
folks
here,
run
into
me
under
one
a
circumstance
or
another,
so
I
won't
belabor.
That
particular
point
as
I
said,
with
community
power
and
just
as
you've
heard
earlier.
Community
power
is
with
you
on
so
many
of
these
aspects
and
has
many
facts
and
figures
to
offer.
AB
But
today
we
thought,
perhaps
my
story
might
be
a
little
more
informative
in
2002
I
was
working
full
time
paying
off
student
debt
and
just
barely
keeping
my
head
above
water
as
a
pedestrian
living
about
45
minutes
from
work.
I
had
a
I
had
a
wonderful
boss
who
was
interested
in
trying
to
take
some
of
the
burden
off
of
me
and
also
had
a
friend
who
was
renting
out
a
particular
unit.
It
was
gorgeous
spacious,
had
every
amenity
I
wanted
and
was
just
inside.
My
price
range
I
was
spellbound.
AB
Winter
would
have
broken
me
had
I
moved
in
I
would
have
struggled.
I
would
have
strained
my
boss's
relationship
with
his
friend
and
I
might
have
endangered.
My
job
I
was
fortunate
that
I
asked
a
question
I.
Thank
you
for
working
to
make
sure
that
future
residents
need
only
be
fortunate
enough
to
live
in
Minneapolis.
Thank
you.
AB
A
AD
Thank
you
very
much
mr.
Cunningham
and
group
I'm
a
realtor,
but
speaking
only
on
my
behalf,
not
for
the
for
anybody
else.
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
doing
this.
I
think
that
the
reason
we're
here
is
because
energy
costs
are
so
low
in
this
country.
If
they
were
higher,
we
would
have
done
this
a
long
time
ago.
AD
I
have
solar
panels
on
my
apartment.
Buildings
I
wish
that
I
could
have
the
solar
panels
pay
for
all
of
my
tenants,
electricity,
not
just
mine,
for
the
hallways,
maybe
one
day
we'll
be
able
to
do
that.
Fresh
energy
is
helping
to
do
that
in
st.
Paul.
My
greatest
desire
would
be
to
get
rid
of
my
gas
line
to
my
building.
That
would
get
me
off
of
Reno.
AD
Put
me
on
renewable
energy
when
I
think
20
30
years
from
now
we'll
be
here
looking
at
ways
to
only
heat
with
electricity,
and
we
won't
even
hopefully
be
using
gas
I
wanted
to
let
you
know.
You
may
know
this
that
the
united
kingdom
requires
energy
efficiency
reports
for
every
home.
That's
sold
it's
much
more
in-depth
report
than
this
is
a
four-page
return-on-investment
report.
It's
a
great
report.
AD
AD
The
only
thing
I
would
ask
you
on
in
the
energy
disclosure
for
residential
is,
if
there's
some
way
you
can
push
it
out
into
the
neighborhoods
so
that
we
can
get
to
more
than
just
three
or
four
thousand
a
year
is
through
neighborhood
groups.
I,
don't
know
if
there's
any
RPE
lovers
to
call
RPN
mining
or
what
was
called.
If
those
are
all
gone,
maybe
they
are,
but
if
there's
some
way
just
to
push
this
further
and
faster,
that
would
be
a
great
thing
to
do.
Thank
you.
AE
I
hear
Cunningham
councilmembers,
my
name
is
Patrick
Hanlon
I'm,
the
director
of
environmental
programs
and
I
oversee
the
energy
benchmarking
program
on
the
commercial
side
and
in
a
moment,
depending
on
how
this
goes
may
be.
Overseeing
the
multifamily
portion
of
the
energy
benchmarking
program
as
well.
I
just
want
to
give
a
special
thanks
to
all
the
staff.
AE
Just
a
lot
of
work
went
into
wording
all
of
this
to
bring
this
forward
to
make
sure
that
we
did
this
right,
not
en
Kelsey
who
were
in
the
audience
he
will
be
taking
on
a
lot
of
this
work.
Should
we
pass
in
a
moment
and
and
then
I
also
wanted
to
mention
to
councilmember
Jenkins,
one
of
the
points
brought
up
if
I
could?
Okay,
so
in
the
health
department,
along
with
other
folks,
like
in
sustainability
Kelly
moment,
we
take
equity,
very
serious.
AE
You
know
in
you
know,
when
we
look
at
these
issues
in
the
impacts
that
it
might
have
on
issues
like
displacement
in
the
costs
on
on
tennis.
We
take
that
very
seriously,
and
one
of
the
issues
that
we
have
in
getting
folks
to
invest
in
energy
efficiency
is
that
it
doesn't
add
a
lot
of
value
to
the
properties
and
that's
one
of
the
problems
that
we
have
in
getting
people
to
be
investing
in
energy
efficiency.
AE
Our
heads
around
in
looking
at
other
places,
and
so
I
just
do
want
to
say
that
that's
something
that
we
take
very
serious
and
we
feel
like
this
is
going
to
benefit
tenants
and
and
people
in
in
Minneapolis
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
speak
to
that
point,
and
then
do
you
mind
if
I
go
yep
I
also
want
to
say
that
we
don't
benchmark
for
the
sake
of
benchmarking.
We
have.
We
are
doing
this
with
a
lot
of
other
resources
were
bringing
pickle
assistance,
0%,
financing
and
I'll.
AE
Take
care
of
take
advantage
of
a
captive
audience
is
that
we
have
green
cost
share
programs
for
a
20%
match
on
multifamily
projects
across
the
city,
on
the
20%
match
up
to
$20,000
and
then
a
30%
match
in
green
zone
so
addressing
those
equity
issues
in
Minneapolis
in
both
north
Minneapolis
in
south
Minneapolis,
and
that's
30%
up
to
$30,000
of
in
energy
efficiency,
so
we're
bringing
this
all
together
as
programs
and
coordinating
work
so
that
we
can
drive
projects
and
drive
energy
efficiency
work
here
in
Minneapolis.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
A
You
so
much
and
shout
out
to
your
team
for
doing
amazing
work
in
all
of
the
discussed
areas.
So
thank
you
so
much
all
right
is
there
anybody
else
here
wishing
to
speak
today.
Anyone
anyone
seeing
no
one
we're
gonna
go
ahead
and
close
that
public
hearing
do
any
of
my
colleagues
have
comments?
Yes,
councilmember.
A
C
A
C
You,
okay
ma'am,
so
a
number
of
the
speakers
today
directed
their
comments
to
me
and
I'm.
Grateful
I
do
want
to
be
sure
to
emphasize
that
my
concern
is
for
low-income
residents
who
live
in
Minneapolis,
and
so,
while
this
upfront
costs
may
be
minimal,
there
are
property
taxes.
There
are
little
license
fees
that
are
increasing.
C
There
are
a
number
of
our
income
stays
flat
in
Society,
while
all
other
costs
continue
to
rise,
and
so
I
need
us
to
recognize
that
all
of
these
small
comps
add
up
to
really
substantial
costs
for
our
very
low-income
residents
who
live
in
this
community
who,
by
the
time
these
cost
savings
generate
themselves,
they
will
not
be
living
in
this
community,
and
so
my
only
point
is
for
us
to
have
a
broad
understanding
of
these
impacts.
While
they
will
certainly
move
us
forward
in.
A
E
E
Okay-
and
this
is
the
rental,
disclosure
and
I-
think
that
this
is
just
a
minor
clarification,
and
this
is
in
response
to
consume.
Concerns
were
raised
earlier
about
what
is
what's
this
report
and
disclosure
where
it's
going
to
be
coming
from
for
the
smaller
landlords,
and
so
it
would
be
adding
a
section
in
the
time
of
rent
disclosure
that
would
specify,
and
this
you
should
have
it
before.
E
You,
colleagues
and
there's
some
available
over
there
to
want
to
read
along,
but
there's
a
sentence
that
starts
the
property
owner
owners
rep
shall
provide
envy
disclosure
information
and
then
I
want
to
add
this
clause
provided
to
them
by
the
electricity
and
natural
gas
utilities
which
have
franchise
agreements
with
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
and
then
it
ends
with
text.
It's
already
there
in
a
format
I
prescribed
by
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
people
were
just
wondering
where
this
is
coming
from.
So
I
wanted
to
add
this
particular
clause.
E
A
E
Okay,
there's
a
series
of
three
amendments
here,
and
we
can
certainly
break
them
apart
if
anybody
wants
to,
but
I
didn't
move
all
of
them
together,
one
has
to
do
with
the
wall
insulation.
This
talks
about
the
people
spoke
about
the
hole
in
the
wall
and
putting
that
in
at
a
little
bit
of
length,
and
there
are
some
opportunities
not
to
have
that
if
other
technologies
are
determined
and
while
insulation
r-value
can
be
determined
by
other
technologies,
our
building
officials
could
approve
those
in
the
future.
E
I
also
thought
we
could
add
if
there's
proof
of
work
that
already
occurred.
This
is
an
idea
that
council
member
Johnson
brought
forward
so
I
want
to
add
this
provision
in
there.
That
says,
an
invoice
with
scope
of
work
from
a
licensed
contractor,
showing
the
installation
of
wall,
insulation
or
other
reasonable
forms
of
proof,
as
determined
by
the
director,
may
also
be
used
as
an
alternative
for
compliance
for
this
portion
of
the
report.
E
Then
I
a
couple
other
changes
to
the
section
as
well.
One
of
them
has
to
do
with
number
five
and
it's
actually
b5
under
the
same
section.
This
is
the
home
air
leakage
is
the
blower
door
test.
This
came
up
a
lot
in
conversations
and
discussions
and
at
this
point
I
would
like
to
remove
that
and
strike
number
five
from
there,
so
that
the
blower
door
test
will
no
longer
be
required.
E
I
will
just
note
that
from
everything
we
heard,
this
is
the
single
item
that
would
add
cost
to
the
truth
and
sale
of
housing
provision.
We
had
some
time.
We
also
heard
from
some
of
the
evaluators
that
said
it
would
it
would
it's
equipment
that
they
don't
have
they'd
have
to
get
trained,
and
it's
not.
Maybe
we
can
come
back
with
this
at
some
future
date.
I
am
since
I'm
already
talking
about
it.
E
Never
hardly
noticed
it
at
all
from
from
then
on
so
I
think
blower
door
tests
are
fine
thing
to
do,
but
I
don't
know
that
we
have
to
required
at
this
time
and
then
the
last
amendment
to
this
section
would
has
to
do
with
the
audit
and
how
long
it
may
be
used,
and
we
talked
about
this
a
little
bit
earlier.
I
think
I
showed
you
that
my
amendment
and
when
it
came
up
I'd
like
to
send
that
to
five
years
from,
as
it
said
in
their
original
language,
we
directed
to
five.
A
So
we
have
the
amendments
on
the
table
in
items.
One
point
two
to
five
and
two:
so
are
there
any
comments
or
questions
on
that
all
right?
Seeing
none
all
those
in
favor
of
the
amendments,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
aye,
those
opposed
say
no
guys
have
it,
and
that
item
is
that
item
is
amended.
Now
we're
gonna
go
back
to
overall
approving
item
number
one
and
I
have
councilmember
Schrader.
F
Mr.
chair
I
just
wanted
to
say
a
couple
things.
First,
I
want
to
thank
everybody
for
coming.
I'll
keep
my
remarks.
Pretty
short,
you
all
covered
everything
I
wanted
to
say
so.
I
I
also
want
to
thank
mr.
Meyer
mr.
McDonagh
for
coming.
We
do
get
a
lot
of
feedback
from
the
city
when
we
propose
something,
usually
it's
in
the
form
of
a
yes
or
a
No.
It
takes
something
extra
to
say.
Here's
an
alternative
and
to
work
with
us.
So
really
appreciate
that
kind
of.
As
a
segue.
F
To
that
you
know
we
we
don't
seem
to
disagree
on
the
future.
We
want.
You
know
we
want
healthy
homes.
We
want
a
market
that
works
for
everyone
in
this
city,
that's
equitable,
and
then
everyone
has
access
to
a
comfortable,
affordable,
clean
energy
place
to
live,
but
the
debate
is
how
to
get
there
and
I
also
want
to
thank
all
the
speakers.
I
talked
about
it's
not
going
far
enough
because,
unfortunately,
with
the
week
we
had
it's,
that's
a
pretty
easy
argument
to
make
and
I
would
have
to
say
you're
right.
F
So
the
challenge
we
have
before
us
is
really.
How
do
we
do
something
that
is
equitable,
that
people
can
make
that
change,
that
people
will
not
be
left
behind
I
feel
this
ordinance?
Does
that
and
that's
really
due
to
the
great
community
support
and
then
push
back
and
working
on
this,
but
I
also
want
to
take
this
opportunity
to
just
thank
all
the
community
members
that
took
the
time
to
reflect
on
this
all
the
staff
time.
I
really
appreciate.
Mr.
Hanlon
did
the
list.
F
I
won't
do
the
same
list
again
by
the
day
again,
there's
a
lot
that
goes
into
something.
This
comprehensive
I
also
want
to
spend
special
thanks
to
my
aide
Carla
Weinman,
who
you
all
have
noted
of
many
of
noted
already,
but
as
fantastic.
This
wouldn't
be
possible
without
her
and
also
councilmember
guard
just
really
appreciate
working
with
you
and
with
Robin.
Do
you
have
something
that
we're
very
proud
of
and
look
forward
to
what
we
do
next.
E
Thank
you
very
much
and
I'm
very
excited
about
this
step.
I
think
this
is
just
a
small
step
along
the
way
and
something
we
called
out
some
several
years
ago
and
when
you
talked
about
I,
think
we're
building
off
the
success
of
our
commercial
benchmarking
that
has
been
successful
and
Lucina
make
a
difference.
Hopefully
this
will
as
well
in
many
ways
as
I'm
looking
back
to
the
climate
action
plan
and
and
also
other
work
that
we
did
that
led
up
to
this,
including
the
Clean
Energy
Partnership.
E
I,
just
want
to
extend
my
thanks
to
former
call
Elizabeth
Clinton,
who
was
a
partner
in
all
of
that
work.
We
wouldn't
have
gotten
to
the
climate
action
plan.
It
wouldn't
have
been
as
in
good
shape
and
there's
also
former
staff
that
worked
on
that
in
the
past,
and
also
all
the
work
that
we
put
into
the
Clean
Energy
Partnership
and
bringing
that
forward.
I
think
there's
some
expectations.
E
Now
we
have
on
that
partnership
that
it's
going
to
help
us
deliver
so
that
as
people
identify
the
needs
in
these
buildings
that
we're
going
to
have
some
resources
to
come
forward
and
can
help
them
make
those
improvements.
I
will
know
it.
Somebody
talked
about
the
zero
percent
financing
in
green
zones,
I
think
available
to
all
incomes,
and
it
already
is,
if
you're
in
a
green
zone,
that
everybody
can
get
access
to
those
resources
and
funds
there,
regardless
of
income.
But
we
we
can
do
more.
E
Other
people
we're
talking
about
there
should
be
more
resources
for
everybody
and
I
think
there's
ways
that
we
can
do
that.
We've
already
proven
that
we
can
use
our
franchise
fee
for
programs
and
for
things
that
will
help
us
address
climate
change,
and
we
can
I
also
want
to
note
that
I
see
this
very
much
as
an
affordable
housing
issue,
as
well
as
a
climate
change
issue.
We
heard
about
the
cost
of
utilities
and
and
heat,
especially
from
several
people
and
I,
think
that
this
is
a
way
to
address
that
know.
E
You
do
anything
about
climate
change
and
there'll,
be
many
and
and
I
think
everybody
is
acknowledging
that
the
worst
casualties
will
be
those
with
the
fewest
resources,
the
people
that
are
wealthy
and
can
move
and
can
afford
things
will
not
be
hit
nearly
as
hard.
So
this
is
our
part
to
do
something
I
think
an
addressing
of
affordable
housing
here
in
Minneapolis,
but
also
looking
at
how
we
can
address
those
issues
more
broadly.
I
also
want
to
thank
everybody
who
came
and
spoke
about.
This
was
actually
wonderful,
I'm
hearing
the
different
viewpoints,
I
think
it.
AF
You
mr.
chair
I,
want
to
thank
the
author's
for
their
work
on
this
ordinance.
Our
staff
members,
our
partners
that
have
been
involved
with
this
I,
think
this
is
a
positive
step
forward.
Appreciate
the
partnership
on
the
amendments.
I
know
the
first
two,
which
are
just
basically
clarifications
that
I
worked
with
customer
coordinates
trader
on.
AF
They
were
great
to
work
with
on
that
and
I
think
that
the
other
two
are
being
responsive
to
a
lot
of
the
feedback
that
we
received
and
I
appreciate
the
feedback
as
well
from
constituents
that
I
got
on
this,
especially
early
on
that
really
helped
formulate
this
when
I
think
council.
Vice-President
Jenkins
is
well
for
her
comments.
I
think
that
that's
a
critical
element
in
regulation
and
ordinance
whenever
we're
working
on
policy
that
we
need
to
be
constantly
thinking
about
all
of
the
unintended
consequences
of
what
we
are
doing
and
I
support
this
ordinance.
Today.
AF
It's
also
not
lost
on
me
that
there
are
impacts,
and
so,
however,
we
can
work
to
reduce
burdens.
I
think
is
absolutely
critical
and
look
for
other
areas
as
well,
where
we
can
support
especially
low
and
knowing
lower
fixed
income
residents
with
this
work.
I
also
agree
with
my
colleagues
on
just
how
much
more
there
is
to
do
around
this
I
really
want
to
see
us
get
aggressive
on
inclusive
financing.
AF
I
know
my
colleagues
are
working
on
that
I
know
the
partnerships
working
on
that
and
staff
are
working
on
that
and
something
I'll
be
able
to
help
with
as
well,
because
the
you
know
so
oftentimes.
It
is
just
very
burdensome
to
go
out
and
try
to
navigate
all
the
different
opportunities
that
are
available
and
to
try
to
put
together
something
that
works
for
individuals
and
oftentimes.
That
in
itself
becomes
a
barrier.
That's
drawn
oftentimes,
a
long
lines
of
folks
with
more
moderate
income
or
more
low
income,
and
so
I
think
we
have
a
lot
more.
AF
We
can
do
there
and
frankly,
I
like
to
see,
as
we
were
looking
at
a
national
level
and
hearing
people
talk
about
a
green
new
deal,
I'd
like
to
see
our
own
version
here
in
Minneapolis
and
hope
that
expanding
energy
efficiency
and
solar
across
the
city
as
much
as
possible
is
a
huge
driving
factor
behind
that.
So
thanks
again
everyone,
if
your
work
on
this
today
and
look
forward
to
supporting
it
or
proud
to
support
it.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
to
my
colleagues.
I
just
want
to
I'll
just
jump
in
here
and
say
really:
lift
up
council
vice
president
Jenkins
concerns
and
and
also
share
them,
my
fiercely
and
protective
of
my
community,
and
we
have
a
lot
of
low-income
homeowners
because
it's
way
cheaper,
actually
in
some
cases
to
rent
excuse
me
to
buy
and
have
a
mortgage
than
to
rent,
especially
when
we
have
predatory
outside
investors,
charging
double
what
a
mortgage
would
cost,
and
so
it
really
this
issue
generally
speaking,
folks
of
color.
A
So
folks
of
color
indigenous
folks,
immigrants
and
refugees
are
disproportionately
impacted
not
only
by
the
impacts
of
climate
change,
but
then
the
subsequent
pala
changes
and
policies
and
procedures
to
then
address
the
impacts
of
the
climate
change,
and
so
it's
just
really
necessary
for
us
to
always
be
centering
and
thinking
of
the
mode
of
the
most
marginalized
folks,
because
those
are
the
folks
who
get
impacted
by
those
unintended
consequences.
So
how
do
we
get
ahead
and
mitigate
it?
I
know.
A
Both
the
climate
change
and
the
costs
that
come
with
mitigating
the
or
lessening
the
impacts
of
climate
change
and,
if
you'll
bear
with
me
for
a
second
I,
just
have
to
walk
out
a
little
bit
about
how
comprehensive
this
policy
is.
A
lot
of
time.
Legislators
will
say,
pass
the
policy
and
then
like
that's
the
end
of
it,
and
it
goes
into
the
ether
to
then
be
implemented.
A
But
what
we
see
here
is
the
policies
which
then
turn
into
the
procedures,
which
then
turn
into
implementation
and
within
that
than
is
quality
assurance
and
control,
so
that
we
can
amend
the
ordinance
when
we
find
that
there
are
myth
unintended
consequences.
So
we're
able
to
then
amend
the
policy
to
mitigate
those
problems
that
we
saw
throughout
the
entire
process.
This
is
good
policymaking
and
I
just
want
to
say.
Thank
you
so
much
for
that,
and
thank
you
to
the
city
staff
who
have
been
so
comprehensive.
A
That
is
where,
because,
within
the
bureaucracy
a
better
or
worse,
we
create
barriers
and
we
have
inherited
barriers
and
we
are
doing
the
work
to
dismantle
it,
and
that
happens
it
beyond
the
policy.
It
happens
in
the
procedures
in
the
implementation
and
in
the
evaluation,
and
so
so.
Thank
you
to
my
colleagues.
Thank
you
to
everybody
and
thank
you
for
the
feedback,
but
this
was
such
a
robust
conversation
which
sometimes,
when
it
comes
to
politics,
it's
not
like
that.
It's
very
contentious
and
people
are
for
it
or
against
it.
A
A
So
thank
you
to
everybody
involved
with
that
and
with
that
we
do
have
a
motion
on
the
table
to
approve
item
1,
residential
energy
disclosure
ordinances.
All
those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
aye,
those
opposed
say
no,
the
eyes
have
it
and
that
matter
is
approved.
So
now
and
thank
you
everybody
for
being
here
today,
I
heard
a
clap,
so
I'm
gonna
go
ahead
and
give
that.
A
There
was
a
lot
of
work,
so
I
never
one
to
shy
away
from
a
nice
round
of
applause.
So
our
final
item
for
today
is
a
presentation
on
the
Age
Friendly
Action
Plan.
So
now
we
have
Tina
Kendrick
coming
back
up,
as
we
have
folks,
maybe
transitioning
out.
Thank
you
again
for
coming.
Please
stay
involved
with
city
government
here
and
once
you're
all
set
up
Christina.
Then
the
floor
is
yours.
A
B
Hello
again
and
thank
you
so
much
chair,
Cunningham
council
members
for
many
council
members.
This
is
a
just
a
brief
update
on
the
activity
of
our
Minneapolis
for
a
lifetime
age
from
the
Community
Action
Plan,
we
were
the
first
city
in
the
state
of
Minnesota
to
be
designated
as
an
age
from
the
community
by
the
World
Health
Organization
and
partnership
with
AARP,
so
number
one
as
we
like
to
meet.
B
We
do
have
an
actual
staff
directive
of
a
full
report.
This
is
a
three
year
action
plan
which
is
finalized
in
2019.
Where
we'll
go
back
to
the
writing
table
and
to
the
community
table
to
talk
about
how
successful
we
were
with
our
recommendations
and
implementing
them
both
within
the
city
as
well,
in
with
our
partnerships
out
in
the
communities
and
then
move
forward,
and
so
you'll
see
me
again.
B
Hopefully
it's
me
and
my
Minneapolis
or
Minneapolis
Advisory
Committee
on
Aging
members,
as
we
move
forward
with
the
next
three
years
cycle,
starting
in
2020
with
report
on
what
our
new
and
improved
action
plan
is
going
to
be
so
quickly.
I
will
just
start
off
with
a
little
bit
of
background.
The
reason
why
I'm
real
I,
really
like
this
particular
slide
is
when
we
started
focusing
on
aging
way
back
in
2014,
really
targeting
looking
at
our
aging
population
within
the
city.
Minneapolis,
the
state
demographers
office
does
not
do
projections
at
City
level.
B
Very
quickly
our
background,
as
I
mentioned,
we
start
off
with
Minneapolis
for
lifetime
strategy,
which
was
kind
of
the
foundation
that
led
into
the
action
plan.
That
is
also
about
the
time
May
2015
when
we
restructured
our
Advisory
Committee
on
Aging
I.
Don't
even
remember
how
many
seats
it
was
like
28
seats
voting
seats
and
it
is
now
down
to
17.
As
you
saw,
we
did
a
lot
of
appointments
and
reappointments
earlier
today,
so
it's
17
seats,
13
words
represented
and
for
mayoral
appointees,
were
almost
at
a
hundred
percent.
B
We
have
a
few
more
seats
to
fill
and
the
Advisory
Committee
on
Aging
is
leading
the
charge
for
monitoring
the
success
of
our
action
plan.
I
actually
had
Jean
greener,
who
is
our
outgoing
chair
still
in
our
committee,
who
had
to
leave
Center
deepest
regrets?
Jean
gives
such
a
wonderful
perspective
and
has
been
with
a
committee
for
so
long
in
so
many
different
capacities
and
and
had
to
leave
because
she
is
now
experiencing
a
situation
of
caregiving
as
we
addressed
as
we
move
forward
in
our
action
plan.
You'll
hear
where
we
talk
about
caregiving
strategies.
B
The
ordinances
that
were
passed
in
the
public
hearing
we
just
heard
today
is
one
example
where
the
Minneapolis
Advisory
Committee
on
Aging
takes
note,
takes
interest
and
thinks
about
it
and
how
this
would
affect
an
aging
population
and
interjecting
an
aging
lens
and
then,
of
course,
advise
and
suggest
to
the
City
Council
mayor
and
city
departments
on
best
practices,
services,
programs,
activities
and
policies
for
supporting
an
aging
community.
Throughout
this
entire
process,
I
want
to
highlight
the
fact
that
we
did
we've
done
in
great
engagement
from
the
very
very
beginning
of
Minneapolis
for
a
lifetime.
B
We
even
went
out
into
the
suburbs
to
have
conversations
with
in
older
adults
to
find
out
if
they
lived
in
the
city
and,
if
so,
why
they
left
to
find
out
why
they
left.
If
they've,
never
lived
in
the
city,
do
they
come
and
visit
the
city
and
access
its
amenities
and
as
well
as
asking
if
they
would
ever
consider
to
live
in
the
city
if
they
have
not.
B
So
we
really
reached
out,
we
went
to
our
cultural
communities
using
utilizing
resources
to
engage
with
non-english
speaking
communities,
especially,
and
so
that's
where
the
evolution
of
the
lifetime
strategy
into
the
action
plan-
and
it
is
still
I
just
want
to
highlight
it.
Community
engagement
is
a
number-one
priority
and,
as
we
move
forward
to
look
at
how
we're
going
to
revise
and
improve
on
the
current
action
plan,
our
priority
will
be
to
engage
our
cultural
and
not-
speaking
elder
communities.
B
B
The
other
two
goals
really
had
to
do
with
how
we
do
business
within
the
city
and
to
incorporate
an
aging
lens,
and
then
our
goal
number
five
was
to
whenever
there's
opportunity
and
even
when,
there's
not
to
bolster
up
and
highlights
the
value
that
our
older
adults
bring
to
the
fabric
of
the
communities
they
live,
work
and
play
in
and
and
so
our
opportunities
were
charged
with
the
research
and
gathering
inputs.
They
we
did
have
a
consultant
come
in.
B
We
were
able
to
gather
some
resources
from
an
external
partner,
and
so
we
really
just
rolled
up
our
sleeves
and
got
to
work
and
did
a
lot
of
extra
meetings
around
the
community
and
each
of
our
advisory
committee.
Members
tapped
their
networks
and
their
resources
and,
of
course,
use
their
skills
and
experiences
that
they
also
bring.
B
So
we
have
our
recommendations.
I
did
actually
report
earlier
in
the
year
on
our
accomplishments
through
2017.
So
this
particular
presentation
is
just
going
to
highlight
some
really
great
successes
that
we
had
in
2018
as
I
mentioned,
our
staff
directive
has
this
reporting
a
full
out
of
our
three
year
cycle,
so
we'll
be
getting
really
in-depth
at
the
end
of
2019,
early
2020,
actually
on
all
the
accomplishments
and
how
we're
going
to
move
forward
in
totality.
There
are
22
action
steps
that
are
within
this
plan.
B
We
have
three
housing
act
items
and
underneath
those
there
are
a
multitude
of
action
steps
the
ones
I'll
be
talking
about
today
and
highlighting
are
the
ones
that
we
accomplished
in
2018,
but
the
full
action
plan
is
accessible
online
at
our
Department's
website
and
really
I
find
that
if
I,
just
google,
the
Minneapolis
for
a
lifetime
action
plan,
it
pops
right
up.
So,
as
you
can
imagine,
big
priority
is
to
provide
housing
options
for
all
ranges,
desires
needs
and
budgets.
A
If
I
can
real
quick
I
just
want
to
jump
in
to
make
sure
that
you
know
actually
that
I
am
working
with
representatives
state
representative
fully
around
creating
a
new
tax
class
within
property
taxes
to
freeze
the
property
taxes
of
low-income
adults
over
65?
So
just
someone,
let
you
know
we're
working
on
them.
B
B
We
also
at
the
city
have
a
homeowner
navigation
program
that
offers
the
homeowner
resource
guide.
That's
for
not
only
homeowners,
but
it
is
for
my
Lawrence
as
well,
and
it's
just
a
multitude
of
information,
including
our
programs
that
can
help
with
energy
audits
and
energy
efficiency
and
how
to
access
those
programs
down
payment
systems.
B
Even
more
importantly,
the
rehabilitate
the
rehab
programs
that
are
available
in
not
only
by
the
city
but
our
external
partners
to
help
improve
their
home,
everything
from
making
it
more
accessible,
such
as
installing
grab
bars
and
ramps,
but
to
doing
a
little
more
major
of
the
home
repairs.
You
know
through
our
Habitat
for
Humanity
programs,
etc,
and,
of
course,
we
had
recommended
in
our
action
plan
back
then
to
have
that
the
city
should
consider
having
a
committee,
that's
specifically
focused
on
housing
policy
and
development,
and
lo
and
behold
that
wasn't
a
whole
lot
of
work.
E
I
couldn't
research
if
you
could
go
back
to
that
last
side
slide
and
those
are
great,
wonderful
successes,
but
when
you
start
talking
about
what
Ward's
are
completed
or
not
completed,
I
get
kind
of
curious
about
what
are
you
talking
about?
So
46%
of
wards
don't
happen
to
added
thirty-five
affordable
units.
Yet
that
sounds
like
six
four
to
the
man.
That's
like
half
of
this.
B
E
B
I
mean
I
would
be
more
than
Thank
You
councilmember
Gordon
I'd
be
more
than
happy
to
provide
all
of
that
information
and
I
I.
Just
I
do
want
to
make
a
note.
It's
not
that
the
wards
are
doing
bad.
It's
a
challenge
for
developers
to
develop
affordable
housing
that
is
specific
to
older
adults,
because
there
are
not
being
set
of
levels
that
there
are
at
multi-family
housing
to
make
it
worth
it.
If
you
will
yes,
I
just
did
everyone
we're.
B
B
Well,
thank
you,
council.
Vice
president
Jenkins,
you,
you
can
develop
housing
first
older
adult
only
and
even
set
whatever
age
limit
you
want.
B
E
I
could
just
add
a
little
bit
I
guess
the
policy
is
that
you'll
get
much
more
subsidy
and
support
if
it's
affordable.
So
if
you
have
an
affordable
senior
housing,
it's
all
on
that
income
and
affordability
piece.
So
then
there
is
assistance,
so
the
city
doesn't
really
have
a
car
boat
policy,
saying
just
because
it's
65
and
over
we're
gonna,
give
you
more
that's
something
we
can
think
about
more.
E
If
it's
affordable,
you
will
so
you
can
get
a
nice
sweet
spot
and
maybe
get
access
to
more
funds
if
it's
affordable
and
it's
senior
oriented
and
then
a
lot
of
it,
though,
becomes
marketing.
Also,
how
do
you
actually
build
it
so
it's
attractive
to
seniors
and
there'll
be
a
market
for
it,
so
you'll
have
renters
who
want
to
come
and
live
there
and
and
developers
are
working
on
that
too.
B
You
thank
you
all
right.
Moving
right
along
into
our
priority
area
to
with,
is
strengthening
and
promoting
a
safe
transportation
system
and
options
that
meets
the
needs
of
Minneapolis
residents
as
they
age.
Here
we
are.
We
have
four
action
items
everything
from
focusing
on
our
external
partnerships,
such
as
Metro,
Transit,
I,
know
a
lot
of
our
ride.
Call
organizations
like
uber
and
lyft
are
starting
to
lean
into
senior
programs.
B
If
you
will,
where
it's
more
accessible
to
access
over,
not
having
necessarily
to
use
an
app
they're
looking
at
actually
having
a
phone
number
available
for
older
adults
to
use
and
call
ride-sharing
opportunities,
you
often
hear
that
I,
don't
really
I,
don't
need
alternative
transfer.
I
just
need
a
ride
once
in
a
while
and
improving
the
quality
and
safety
of
pedestrian
travel.
B
B
One
of
our
action
steps
that
we're
still
looking
at
to
try
and
tackle
this
summer
is
to
address
bus
stops
within
each
Ward
that
really
that
are
very
near
to
communities,
whether
it
be
a
high-rise,
that's
folk
that
has
a
lot
of
older
adults
in
it
or
just
areas
where
older
adults
reside
just
to
kind
of
do
an
assessment.
If
you
all
have
the
quality
of
bus
stops,
is
it
easy
to
walk?
What's
the
lighting
light?
Is
there
a
bench
for
them
to
sit
down,
etc?
B
We
were
involved
in
the
complete
streets
and
throughout
that
pattern,
with
a
passage
of
our
Complete
Streets,
which
is
considered
a
model
for
focusing
on
developing
age
from
the
communities,
and
we
now
move
into
our
health
and
wellness.
I
saw
him
Commissioner
music
Han
here
earlier.
She
knew
exactly
what
I
was
here
for
so
it
was
very
encouraging.
B
The
good
news
we've
had
other
partners
step
up
and
look
at
this
is
an
opportunity
and
to
promote
and
highlights
a
newer
fun
entertaining
place
where
people
can
go
and
get
lifelong
learning.
So
Westminster
and
our
downtown
library
have
collaborated,
and
so
I've
been
working
with
them,
as
well
as
my
advisory
committee
members
on
developing
what
that
would
look
like
and
what
programs
they
have,
and
so
they've
been
up
and
running
for
several
months
now
and
seems
to
be
doing
very,
very
well
and
then,
of
course,
as
I
mentioned.
B
This
is
where
I
really
do
want
to
highlight.
The
in-home
support
services
that
the
city
provides
financial
resources
to
to
date
are
in
2018.
We
have
had
1,600
older
adults,
receive
multiple
levels
of
service.
Within
these
four
organizations
they
include
home
nurse
visits,
rides
medical
appointments,
health
and
wellness
clinics,
blood
pressure
checks,
the
ability
to
have
maintenance
done
on
their
home,
as
I
mentioned
before
the
installation
of
things
like
grab
bars.
That
would
be
after
a
safety
inspections
done
throughout
their
house
and
then
I
do
want
to
also
add
the
value
that
this
is.
B
A
Would
like
to
go
ahead
and
jump
in
here,
quick,
so
I
just
wanted
to
draw
attention
to
health
action
item
number
three
and
that
could
have
a
good
inherent
connection
to
the
Minneapolis
Fire
Department's
mobile,
integrated
health
care
pilot.
That's
happening
because
a
part
of
it
is
transporting
folks
post-discharge
back
to
their
follow
appointments.
I
just
wanted
to
bring
that
to
your
attention.
I'm
also
curious
about.
B
Turk
Cunningham
councilmembers
there
we
have
had
those
conversations
at
this
time
they
that
focus
area
has
not
necessarily
made
it
into
this
three-year
cycle
of
an
action
plan,
but
it
definitely
has
been
a
discussion
on
first
of
all,
what
you
like,
where,
where
are
those?
Where
are
we
seeing
that
you
know
geographically
so
so,
economically
and
trying
to
dive
in
and
doing
a
lot
more
research?
So
when
we
do
come
up
with
some
recommendations
and
some
action
steps
that
we
have
done
it
based
on
the
best
data
that
we've
collected?
B
But
yes,
there
definitely
has
been
conversations.
We
have
had
the
Better
Business
Bureau
also
come
in
as
well
as
Tubman
to
talk
about
the
Better
Business
Bureau,
of
course,
was
really
focused
on
the
scams
that
older
adults
are
usually
often
find
themselves
subjected
to,
and
then
of
course,
Tubman
does
do
the
deeper
areas
of
elder
abuse
and
they
do
have
an
elder
abuse
hotline
and
as
well
as
staff
working
on
that
issue,
so
I
do
see
developing
a
stronger
partnership
moving
forward
to
address
those
issues.
Thank
you
very
much
for
bringing
that
up.
A
Of
course,
I
think
long-term
I
would
be
very
interested
in
having
long-term
conversations
about
how
elder
abuse
and
neglect
can
really
fit
into
our
violence.
Prevention
and
intervention
work,
that's
happening
you,
the
office
of
violence,
prevention,
I
had
one
grandparent,
my
whole
life
and
she
recently
passed,
and
it
was
ultimately
due
to
older
neglect
and
abuse,
and
so
I
just
don't
want
for
other
folks
to
experience
that,
especially
when
we
see
that
there's
a
gap
and-
and
so
you
can
consider
me
a
partner
in
long-term
addressing
that
issue
so
back
to
you
and
I'm
sorry.
B
I'm
using
the
Minnesota,
let's
talk,
superfast
mode
and
so
I
just
want
to
just
highlight
these
are
some
of
our
external
partners
that
we've
also
engaged
with
how
that
usually
happens.
Is
we
either
reach
out
to
them
or
they
reach
out
to
us,
depending
on
what
the
topic
area
and
or
and/or
the
concern,
and
have
that
conversation
with
these
organizations
and
their
staff
and
our
Minneapolis
Advisory
Committee
on
Aging
and
how
it
fits
in
not
only
with
our
action
plan.
B
But
you
know
three
years
a
lot
of
things
happen,
and
so
some
of
these
have
come
up
just
due
to
the
relevant
nature
of
the
issue
or
topic.
But
I
did
want
you
to
know
that
in
2018
we,
the
Minneapolis
Advisory
Committee
aging,
really
was
able
to
give
a
lot
of
good
advice
inputs
and
experience
and
recommendations
to
these
organizations,
and
with
that.
B
Thank
you
so
much
for
allowing
me
this
time.
If
there's
any
questions
as
I
mentioned
before
chair
cunningham
council
members,
I
will
be
more
than
happy
to
send
out
to
all
of
the
council
members
and
their
staff
the
status
of
the
housing
development
and
how
we're
moving
along
and
I
think
I'm
going
to
tap.
B
Does
it
it's
just
it's
designated
as
affordable
housing
units
and
can
really
give
a
great
education
and
that
I
can
share
with
all
of
our
Tom's
members,
and
especially
our
housing
policy
and
development
staff,
who
has
visited
our
committee
and
is
coming
up
with
how
we
can
partner
and
do
quarterly
updates
and
give
input.
So
we
still
can
have
a
lens
with
our
housing
policy
and
development
committee.
Great.
A
A
And
informative
presentation,
so
thank
you
for
all
your
work
with
that
I
move
to
receive
and
file
the
2018
annual
update
on
the
Minneapolis
for
a
lifetime.
Age
Friendly
action
plan
are
all
those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
aye,
those
opposed,
say,
nay,
the
eyes
have
it,
and
that
item
passes.
Thank
you
so
much
with
no
further
business
on
our
agenda.
Our
meeting
is
adjourned.
Oh.
