Description
Minneapolis Intergovernmental Relations Committee Meeting
A
My
name
is
Andrea
Jenkins
I
am
the
vice
chair
of
this
committee
and
I
want
to
note
that
chair
Johnson
is
attending
the
National
League
of
Cities
annual
legislative
conference
in
Washington,
DC,
and
so
with
me
at
the
guys.
Today
is
councilmember
Schrader,
council
member
right
and
councilmember
Tommy.
Let
the
record
reflect
that
we
do
have
a
quorum
and.
A
We
have
three
items
on
our
agenda
today
and
we
will
begin
with
the
consent
agenda.
Item
number
one
is
amending
the
2019
legislative
agenda
and
policy
positions
to
add
the
upper
harbor
terminal,
pre
design
and
design
project
to
the
capital
investment
priorities
section.
This
is
a
result
of
a
staff
direction
approved
at
the
March
1st
City
Council
meeting
that
came
out
of
the
economic
development
and
regulatory
Services
Committee
item
number
2
is
a
contract
with
Turner
public
affairs
for
legislation
represented
representation
services.
A
Approval,
excuse
me,
and
all
those
in
favor
say
aye,
any
opposed,
say,
nay,
the
eyes
haven't
and
that
motion
carries,
and
our
third
item
is
regular
update
regarding
the
federal
state,
local
legislative
actions
that
could
affect
the
city
and
I
will
invite
mr.
Jay
Larry
to
provide
us
with
that
update.
Thank.
B
You,
sir,
thank
you
very
much.
My
name
is
gene
Ranieri
I'm,
the
director
of
government
relations
for
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
I
have
about
of
eight
or
nine
different,
slides
I.
It
stopped
me
at
any
time
with
questions
and
we
may
have
to
change
some
of
the
things,
because
we
did
this
I
think
Monday
or
Tuesday,
and
there
had
been
some
changes.
B
March
15th
is
a
key
date.
That's
the
first
deadline,
so
there
are
numerous
committees
meeting
through
the
evening
tonight
and
tomorrow,
of
course,
of
what
the
first
deadline
means
is.
You
need
to
have
a
policy
bill
say,
for
example,
something
dealing
with
a
lease
lease
law
or
tenant
remedies
act
out
of
committee,
at
least
in
one
body
by
tomorrow,
and
then
within
two
weeks
you
have
to
have
all
of
your
policy
work
done
and
those
bills
need
to
be
going
to
the
floor
or
going
to
a
Finance
Committee.
B
What's
happening,
is
we
noticed
down
here
in
parentheses,
on
May,
1st,
May,
6
and
13th?
There
are
three
things
that
have
been
added:
all
those
are
recommendations,
they're,
not
part
of
the
rule
that
governs
the
operation
of
the
legislature.
The
leadership
is
at
right.
They
say
this
is
a
goal.
It's
aspirational
to
have
the
targets
for
the
conference
committees
by
may
6
to
get
all
the
bills
off
the
floor,
finance
bills
by
May
first
and
then
have
everything
done
by
May
13th,
which
gives
us
a
week
before
session
ends
we'll
see.
C
B
Government,
finance
and
I
know
this
is
a
big
issue
for
the
city.
Local
government
aid.
There
have
been
the
governor
recommended,
30
million
dollars
increase,
but
he
didn't
recommend
any
changes
in
the
formula.
There
is
another
bill
in
this
bill.
His
bill
is
being
carried
by
the
chair
of
the
House
Tax
Committee
Representative
Paul
Marquart
from
Detroit
Lakes.
There's
another
bill
introduced
by
representative
lillas
guard
from
northern
Minnesota.
He
is
a
member
of
the
Coalition
of
Greater
Minnesota
cities.
They
have
the
same
amount
in
a
bill
and
what
they're
proposing
is
some
formula
changes.
B
So
anyway,
you
need
to
find
out
who
gets
less
of
an
increase,
because
we
comparing
the
two
bills.
There
is
a
third
bill
represented
to
have
hurt
us
a
Republican
from
Western
Hennepin
County.
He
is
trying
to
cover
more
cities
and
our
amount
go
is
would
be
1.8,
but
so
we're
between
1.8
and
3.5
million.
We
don't
know
where
the
Senate
is.
The
Senate
has
not
committed.
B
We
haven't
seen
their
bill
yet,
but
the
house
at
least,
is
taking
the
governor's
numbers,
the
amount
now
an
increase,
and
then
you
see
three
different
formulas:
the
lodging
tax
it's
been
hurt,
I
think
the
last
time
we
reported
it
was
heard
in
the
Senate.
There
was
a
cap
to
it,
meaning
that
it
can't
be
no.
The
total
tax
for
lodging
in
our
city
can't
be
higher
than
thirteen
point.
B
Eight
seven,
five
percent
representative
la
fleurs
is
the
author
in
the
house,
she's
also
chair
of
the
property
tax
division
in
the
house,
and
she
said:
why
should
we
have
a
cap?
No
one
else
does
we
don't
have
the
highest
rate
in
the
state,
so
the
bill
in
the
house,
which
was
presented
last
last
two
weeks
ago,
is
no
cap,
so
we
have
both
bills
in
the
House
and
the
Senate,
and
hopefully
they
will
be
folded
into
the
brought
into
the
tax
bill
and
go
to
conference.
B
The
bill
is
laid
over
for
possible
inclusion
and
had
a
pretty
good
discussion
with
the
committee.
There
was
a
snowstorm
at
that
day
and
the
committee
process
went
pretty
quickly
over
in
the
Senate
who
we
may
be
heard
next
week
on.
That
would
be
new
because
last
year
they
didn't
hear
any
tax
and
current
bills
and
Pensions
the
PE
RA
bill
to
amend
police
and
fire
relief
as
I
know,
councilmember,
where
Sami
were
all
worked
on,
it
will
be
introduced,
it'll
be
carried
in
the
Senate
by
representative.
B
Senator
Jasinski
from
Owatonna
he's
a
member
of
the
pension
Commission
and
in
the
house
by
the
chairman
of
the
government,
Operations
Committee
and
also
a
member
of
the
pensions
Commission
represented
Fryeburg,
and
we
and
PE
RA
are
going
around
getting
authors,
and
this
bill
has
pretty
very
good
support.
The
PE
RA
presented
it
to
the
pension
Commission
last
week
and
then
we
walked
around
and
talked
to
everyone,
and
we
got
five
authors
on
both
on
the
bills.
So
we
should
be.
B
B
Capital
investment
as
I
think
we
know
the
governor's
proposed
about
one
point:
two:
seven
billion
dollars
in
a
bonding
bill
and
for
a
year
that's
that's
a
pretty
substantial.
All
the
projects,
though,
are
state
facilities,
so
local
projects
are
expected
to
be
added
and
we
have
had
two
of
our
projects
presented
or
scheduled.
B
The
the
tunnel
the
stormwater
tunnel
was
presented
yesterday
and
the
Public
Works
Department
did
a
remarkable
job
in
presenting
it
and
having
all
the
documents
and
really
did
had
a
committee
asking
really
good
questions
and
and
Katrina
Kessler
from
the
Public
Works
Department
was
outstanding.
I
mean
just
really
really
good.
The
bill
will
be
held
over
for
possible
inclusion.
The
upper
harbour
terminal
bill
will
be
heard,
possibly
next
week
and
last
week,
the
third
bill
dealing
with
the
police
and
fire.
B
The
fire
training
center
was
presented
by
the
chief
and
representative
Dayne
representative
Dean,
also
presented
or
presented.
Dean
excuse
me
represent,
presented
the
bill
yesterday,
also
so
a
good
discussion.
They
ended
early.
So
it
was
a
lot
of
good
questions
about
how
wastewater
treatment
and
how
you
not
waste
water,
its
stormwater
treatment,
and
how?
Comparing
what
we
do
in
cities
to
what
the
farmers
do?
It's
a
really
interesting
discussion.
B
The
lock
and
dam
project
I
know,
which
is
our
fourth
priority.
The
folks
from
the
Friends
of
Lock
and
Dam
have
decided
to
try
and
apply
for
a
legacy
funds
legacy
grant
this
year
rather
than
go
for
bonding.
We
don't
know
where
the
Senate
is
on
bonding.
They
have
not
yet
had
a
hearing.
The
house
have
had
has
had
hearings
two
or
three
hearings
a
week
since
session
started,
so
we
are
not
sure
exactly
where
the
Senate
will
be.
You
have
time
with
the
Senate
Senate
chairman
within
next
week.
B
A
B
You
in
transportation
there's
everyone's
waiting
for
the
finance.
The
governor
has
talked
about
a
bill
that
would
have
a
combination
of
a
20
cent
gas
tax
increase,
which
has
caused
a
lot
of
discussion.
Any
1/8
of
a
cent
sales
tax
here
in
the
region
to
be
used
for
transit,
also
some
bonding
for
transit
and
that
package
has
not
not
been
discussed
yet
I
think
we'll
see
it
in
the
next
couple
of
weeks
again,
I
think
the
house
will
probably
be
a
little
bit
more
generous
than
the
Senate
and
one
bill
distracted
driving.
B
It's
been
sent
to
the
floor
in
the
house
and
I
think
it's
also
going
to
be
on
a
set.
It
should
be
in
the
Senate
floor
soon.
The
both
of
those
bills
had
lots
of
support
and
we
should
see
it
probably
on
the
floor.
Within
the
next
two
weeks
we
talked
about
the
gas
tax
speed
limits
that
bill
is
going
to
be
set.
Tomorrow
evening
we
are
proposing
I
think
we
have
support
from
League
of
Cities
and
the
metro
cities
to
allow
cities
to
reduce
it
from
30
to
25.
B
It's
a
discretionary
discretionary
authority
and
there
is
lots
of
support
and
there
are
some
folks
who
think
we
shouldn't
do
this.
The
transportation
network
bill.
That's
the
loop.
The
lift
bill
has
not
yet
been
introduced
and
we've
been
told
that
it
won't
be.
There
will
be
no
activity
this
year
on
this
bill,
which
is
I,
think
very
good,
an
affordable
housing,
the
the
first
two
bullets
we
talked
about
last
time
and
third
bullet.
There
are
some
amendments
moving,
particularly
in
the
issue
dealing
with
tenants
with
renters
representative,
nor
has
a
bill
dealing
with
lease
requirements.
B
That's
house
file,
495
was
hurtin
committees,
it
was
supposed
to
be
hurt,
but
since
it's
already
been
moved
to
the
floor
of
the
Senate
and
that
dead
met
deadline,
so
they
took
it
off
the
agenda
and
we'll
do
it
probably
next
week,
representative
Hassan
has
two
bills
coming
up
one
this
morning,
one
tonight
and
the
first
one
was
house
file
1511,
and
it
relates
to
expungement
of
eviction
notices.
It
tries
to
put
more
privacy
into
the
process.
She
had
some
amendments,
but
the
bill
did
make
it
out.
B
So
the
author
and
the
Senate
senator
d6,
so
hopefully
she'll
be
able
to
get
a
hearing
over
in
the
Senate
soon.
The
third
bill
is
the
eviction
bill
and
that
bill
will
be
up
tonight.
There
are
several
amendments
if
it
I
think
it'll
make
it
out
of
committee
and
then
again
senator
each
took
we'll,
try
and
move
it
over
in
the
Senate,
but
our
freshman
legislators
have
taken
on
some
really
tough
pills
and
they're
doing
that
and
I'm
very
we're
doing
great
job.
B
The
governor
recommended
150
million
in
bonding
27o
that
I
know
so.
27
million
in
general
fund
increases
for
housing.
That
process
has
not
yet
started
in
the
house.
The
Senate,
we
think,
will
come
in
with
a
much
smaller
number
in
the
area.
Public
safety,
the
fines
and
fees
bills
are
moving.
There
was
the
technical
bill
did
at
one
time.
B
Senate
file
1749
did
include
those
bills,
but
they
were
taken
out
today
and
we're
the
streamline
technical
bill
was
prepared
and
will
go
over
to
the
house
and
we'll
see
what
happens
but
the
two
bills
individual
bills,
one
dealing
with
the
surcharge
and
one
dealing
with
getting
your
license
back
being
able
to
pay
up
and
pay
the
fee
for
a
reason.
Reinstatement
to
get
your
license
reinstated.
So
you
can
drive
and
pay
off.
Your
fines
is
moving
chap
house
file
a.
B
1040A
and
she'd
be
on
the
House
floor.
Sometime
soon
they
have
not
been
heard
in
the
Senate
and
then
other
things
that
we
are
in
are
policies
that
we're
watching
and
following
in
the
list
could
we
act
could
add
a
few
more
things
the
driver's
license
for
all
we'll
be
heard
again
tonight
in
the
house,
it's
scheduled
in
Ways
and
Means
tonight,
and
then
there
that
was
the
sketch
of
the
ways
it
means
tonight
tonight
and
there's
no
sign
of
companion.
The
bill
has
been
moving
rather
quickly
and
we'll
see
what
happens
in
the
Senate.
B
The
governor
supportive
of
the
bill.
Representative
Winkler,
is
the
author
and
Senator
representative.
Gomez
is
the
coop
one
of
the
co-authors
House
file
40
to
restore
the
rights
to
vote
for
convicted
felons
will
be
wound
up
in
some
of
the
Judiciary
Committee's,
it's
being
carried
by
representative,
Dayne
and
Senator
champion,
but
bill
permitting
cities
to
adopt
an
energy
stretch.
Code
is
tomorrow.
That
bill
is
has
a
lot
of
interest
and
it
should
get
out
of
the
committee
tomorrow,
but
again,
I'm,
not
sure.
B
What's
going
to
happen
in
the
Senate,
there
will
be
an
interesting
conference
committee
on
energy
because
both
the
house
and
the
senator
have
different
different
ways.
They're
going
different
paths,
House
file
led
511,
is
on
plastic
bags,
that's
to
repeal
the
repeal
in
a
committee
last
night,
it's
in
another
committee
tonight
in
the
house,
so
it
could
be
folded
into
a
larger
bill
within
the
next
week
or
two
marijuana.
Actually
cannabis
task
force,
House
file,
7,
7,
1
7
has
had
several
committee
hearings
and
several
reiterations.
B
What
it
basically
does
is
sets
up
a
task
force
to
recommend
to
the
legislature
and
how
to
deal
with
tax
issues,
health
issues,
public
safety
issues
and
other
related
other
related
issues
with.
If
marijuana
recreational
marijuana
is
allowed
in
our
state.
That
bill
is
just
the
taskforce
bill.
It
has
I
think
it
started
with
about
15
to
17
members
now
I've
been
told
it's
well
over
20
member
different
members
representing
different
organizations
and
activity
and
in
areas
of
expertise
and
interest.
B
It
should
it's
again
up
tonight
again
and
then
I
think
it'll
be
probably
folded
into
the
public
safety
bill
in
the
House.
The
Senate,
as
I
think,
was
reported
in
the
newspapers.
Their
comprehensive
bill
was
voted
down
in
a
committee
to
do
sherry
committee
yesterday,
madam
chair.
That's
what
I
have
for
now
and
to
try
and
answer
any
questions
or
try
and
comment
on
things
that
I
didn't
mention
that
you
may
be
interested
in
Thank.
C
B
B
Turner
is
a
person
who's
been
doing
the
legislative
process
for
about
30
years
and
I
met
Beverly
about
thirty.
Thirty,
two
years
ago,
when
she
was
a
Senate
lawyer,
she
worked
in
the
Senate.
She
started
in
the
local
government
committee
worked
on
in
a
Commerce
Committee
and
in
the
Congress
committee
was
a
person
who
drafted
the
language
for
the
Senate
file,
one
which
is
an
economic
development
bill
that
was
statewide.
B
She
also
a
little
later
when
she
was
working
for
another
committee
drafted
all
the
language
dealing
with
the
development
for
the
significant
way
back,
the
Northwest
Airlines
facility
in
Duluth.
She
was
a.
She
was
a
staff
person
on
that
one,
and
so
she
has
a
lot
of
drafting
experience.
She
then
moved
over
to
the
Minnesota
Housing
Finance
Agency
was
their
legislative
lobbyist
and
legislative
representative
and
also
a
Deputy
Commissioner.
She
left
there
and
went
into
working
in
the
for
the
insurance
industry.
She
worked
for
the
Federation
for
a
long
time
then
worked
for
the
st.

Paul
companies,
which
is
now

and
then
moved
to
Catholic
Charities
and
with
Catholic
Charities,
help
put
together
higher
ground
development
in
st.
Paul.
The
comprehensive
project
she
took
all
the
legislative
work
and
did
some
of
the
financial
work
on
that
she
drafted
the
language
and
worked
very
closely
with
the
st.
Paul
delegation.
So
I
have
a
lot
of
confidence
in
her.
She
has
a
lot
of
good
experience
and
a
lot
of
folks
know
who
she
is.
