B
You
mr.
chair
members
of
the
committee
and
Mark

the
chief
financial

also
sharing
the
podium
podium
with
me
today,
will
be
than
Hutchinson's
the
city
director
of
public
works.
Thank
you
all
for
this
opportunity
to
offer
an
update
on
the
Hiawatha
campus
expansion.
If
you
recall,
as
a
council
in
December,
a
master
plan
was
approved
by
the
council
and
there
were
also
several
staff
directions
that
went
along
with
this
master
plan.
B
We
are
gonna
focus
most
of
our
time
in
this
presentation
today
in
the
bottom
left
corner
in
the
circle,
which
is
the
training
and
recruitment
facility
that
I'm
happy
to
report
as
the
several
months
that
have
gone
by
since
the
December
discussion.
There
is
more
enthusiasm
for
the
need
of
this
training
and
recruitment
facility
than
even
when
it
was
conceived
by
many
council
members
last
year.
This
this
location
and
the
adjacency
to
a
major
public
works
facilities
is
a
bright
future.
B
Some
of
the
staff
directions
involve
longer-term
endeavors,
but
we're
gonna
cover
these
specific
topics
at
a
minimum.
One
update
for
you
and
the
last
piece
is
there
was
authorization
in
December
to
go
forward
with
request
for
proposals
for
construction
manager,
services
we
did
under
Kate
undertake
a
search
and
staff
is
recommending
across
Anderson
as
the
construction
manager
for
this
site
and
that
contract
will
be
coming
to
Council
on
in
the
next
couple
of
months.
B
As
was
mentioned
in
the
RCA
and
eyes
on
the
city's
website
for
those
who
are
not
familiar
with
the
location
of
the
public
work,
staff
has
done
an
excellent
job
with
communications
of
updating
the
website
for
this
project
generally
over
the
last
couple
of
years.
If
you
just
do
a
search
engine
for
Hiawatha
campus
expansion
city
of
Minneapolis,
you
will
find
a
fair
amount
of
information
about
this
project.
One
piece
of
that
information
is
a
list
of
all
of
those
entities
that
were
invited
and
agreed
to
participate
in
the
Hiawatha
advisory
committee.
B
This
was
one
of
the
major
staff
directions
from
Council
was
to
talk
to
neighborhood
groups,
business
groups,
labor
groups,
those
who
may
want
to
be
involved
in
the
training
recruitment
community
facility
come
back
with
us
to
the
council,
specifically
Ways
and
Means
Committee,
with
results,
as
is
not
unanticipated.
We
don't
have
a
vote
from
that
committee
that
univer,
Lee's
or
universally
says
here's.
What
we
think
is
the
best
plan.
What
we
have
for
you
is
a
variety
of
perspectives
and
feedback
and
we'll
be
sharing
that
there
were
four
meetings.
B
B
I
will
talk
through
some
of
the
results,
but
from
our
perspective,
the
hiawatha
advisory
committees
group
has
the
feedback
is
sufficient,
such
that
that
work
of
that
committee
is
concluded.
There
will
be
other
opportunities
for
community
to
participate
in
dimensions
of
this
project,
specifically
around
public
art
and
then
a
typical
site.
Design
process
that
will
be
run
like
any
development
would
be
for
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
one
of
the
things
that
was
done
very
well,
I.
B
B
The
scope
of
the
Hiawatha
Advisory
Committee,
we
have
staff
and,
with
the
consultants,
talked
about
the
master
plan,
more
specifically
about
the
building
plan
that
was
being
proposed
identified.
Some
goals
talked
about
the
different
functional
requirements
of
the
different
pieces
of
that
facility
gathered
the
feedback
on
that
specifically
related
to
the
community,
entrepreneurial
and
retail
components
of
that
facility.
B
We
also
did
talk
through
with
each
of
the
committee
members,
because
a
continuation
of
the
discussions
all
throughout
last
year
is
whether
this
whole
building
should
be
should
be
removed
or
whether
part
parts
of
the
building
should
be
remain,
and
it
is
I
think
an
understatement
to
say
that
many
members
of
the
community
feel
like
a
significant
part
or
even
a
portion
of
this
building
should
remain
I.
Think
our
charge
from
counsel
was
to
review
as
much
as
possible.
B
We
did
look
closer
to
the
Greenway,
and
would
there
be
advantages
for
being
closer
to
the
Greenway.
Ultimately,
it
was
decided
to
remain
in
the
southwest
part
of
the
site.
There
is
adequate
parking
and
enlivens
one
corner
of
the
site
and
gives
some
separate
entrances
and
exits
for
that
site
that
does
not
impeded
either
by
the
public
works
operation
or
vice
versa.
B
Specifically,
we
did
walk
through
with
the
committee
different
floor
plans,
and
we
want
to
share
with
you
some
of
the
floor
plans
that
are
in
front
of
the
committee
and
the
feedback
that
we
received.
There
were
two
different
options
for
looking
at
one
component
on
the
first
floor.
As
I
said
this
activation,
and
that
was
the
retail
portion
in
the
orange
I'll
just
orient
you
to
this.
Building
again
we
are
up,
is
north
and
so
on.
B
The
bottom
here
is
28th,
so
the
site
itself
is
much
larger,
obviously
than
this
building,
but
we
have
just
focused
on
this
particular
floor.
Plate
on
the
right
side
in
the
brownish
is
the
training
facility.
Sometimes
we
refer
to
as
the
sandbox.
It
would
be
the
area
where
Public
Works
employees,
we
also
invited
as
a
part
of
the
hiawatha
advisory
committee,
the
Minneapolis
public
housing
authority,
as
well
as
the
Minneapolis
Parks
and
Recreation
Board
representatives
to
expand
the
area
where
training
opportunities
may
exist
within
governmental
entities.
B
We
also
included
C
ped
staff,
who
are
involved
in
in
training
and
recruitment
as
well
I'm,
sorry
within
employment
as
well.
So
the
far
right
side
will
be
the
sandbox.
The
the
purplish
color
would
be
the
support
for
the
training
facilities,
storage
tools,
more
smaller,
hands-on
spaces,
as
so,
the
two
options
in
terms
of
the
retail
that
was
that
were
reviewed
would
be
all
on
the
far
western
side
or
more
activation
along
28th
and
the
feedback
generally.
B
We
that
we
received
from
the
committee
was
that
option
one
by
having
the
retail
adjacent
spaces
having
it
potential
for
expansion
or
changes
in
size
as
the
as
the
use
of
the
retail
changed
potentially
over
time
would
be
the
preferred
area.
There
would
also
be
some
of
that
space.
That's
in
the
checkerboard
grid
that
potentially
has
some
outdoor
activation
as
well,
so
that
was
one
of
the
components
of
the
hiawatha
advisory
committee
findings
that
we
can
bring
back
to
you.
B
The
second
area
is
the
second
floor
plan,
and
because
that
sandbox
area
does
take
up
two
floors,
we're
not
showing
anything
on
the
right
side,
because
that
would
be
a
larger
higher
ceiling
space,
but
was
mentioned
in
December.
Some
of
the
other
uses
that
work
would
be
explored
would
be
classroom
for
a
community
where
people
could
come
in
and
use.
The
facility
comes.
A
D
D
D
And
I
think
green
space
to
really
address
some
of
the
concerns
that
I
know.
Residents
have
been
bringing
about
related
to
air
quality,
as
well
as
been
hearing
a
lot
of
public
safety
concerns
in
that
general
area,
because
it's
sort
of
less
frequented
I
mean
I,
know
it's
the
Greenway,
but
the
bikes
are
just
kind
of
moving
through.
But
how
can
we
use
this
project
to
create
more
safety
and
more
visibility
for
people
beyond
the
time
that
the
facility
is
gonna,
be
in
use.
B
Mr.
chair
council,
vice
president
I
think
you
are
asking
a
very
good
question.
It's
probably
a
larger
question
than
what
a
single
facility
can
provide.
I
would
suggest
that
in
one
of
the
one
area
that
I
that
I
know
we're
gonna
ask
Robin
Hutchinson
to
talk
about
is
one
of
the
benefits
of
having
Public
Works
on
this
site
and
an
expanded
fashion
is
we
can
ask
Public
Works
to
do
things
above
and
beyond
what
we
would
ask
a
business
to
do
so?
If
we
talk
about,
for
example,
staffing
needs.
B
B
The
other
is
as
much
as
possible
using
this
facility
to
do
what
we
can
to
to
serve
as
a
draw,
and
not
just
for
the
neighborhoods
but
the
people
working
in
the
facility
so
that
they
will
utilize
this
not
just
for
the
training
but
also
potentially
for
the
retail
facility
as
well.
And
so,
though,
I
think
the
standard
for
the
city
generally.
Is
that
when
there
are
more
people
on
the
street,
it
is
usually
a
safer
environment
and.
E
B
This
facility
flexibly
I,
don't
become
so
specialized
that
the
uses
are
too
narrow
for
the
the
adjustments
over
time
and
I
think
we
had
helpful
perspectives
from
those
folks
who
were
involved
and
in
Midtown
global
market
for
examples
that
we
had
perspective
from
people
who
are
actually
operating
retail
facilities
that
we
had
perspective
from
some
community
groups.
That
said,
don't
compete
with
some
of
the
other
uses
that
are
happening,
that
our
community
uses
in
the
area
of
find
the
target
market
for
this
particular
facility.
D
Really
blaster
councilmember
Connells
concerns
and
really
you
know,
try
to
get
us
and
I
know.
We
can't
design
this
whole
facility
here
at
the
dais,
but
really
to
help
us
think
about
how
we
have
this
broader
community
vision
than
just
around
that
facility.
So
you
did
answer
my
question.
Thank
you
very
much.
So.
A
C
C
B
Sir
mr.
chair
comes
from
member
Johnson,
thank
you
for
the
question.
Yes,
those
are
restrooms
and
yes,
we
would
follow
the
cities
direction
of
having
gender-neutral
restrooms
also
available
in
this
facility.
I
think
right
now
we're
more
at
just
a
verge
large
block
kind
of
uses
rather
than
refining.
You
know
exactly
what
the
square
footages
of
the
restrooms
would
be,
but
your
comment
as
well
taken
great
thank
you.
B
So
the
classroom
space
on
the
second
floor
is
another
area
where
we
see
exciting
opportunities
for
multi-purpose
use.
We
did
have
our
election
staff
involved
and
said
that
the
second
floor
space
could
work
for
our
early
vote
center,
which
traditionally
this
location
has
been
very
popular
for
an
early
vote
Center.
We
also
do
see
the
opportunity
again
for
some
flexible
space
in
the
classroom
that
could
be
used
for
both
training
and,
as
they
said,
for
community
partnerships
for
where
that
need
is
identified.
B
That
is
the
the
area
on
the
purple
on
the
left.
Side
would
be
those
training,
specific
areas,
and
then
the
area
in
the
orange
would
be
the
classroom
sizes
as
well
and
again,
the
restrooms
on
the
and
the
gray,
and
then
the
gray
upper
right
would
be
support
for
the
training
facility
to
actually
be
some
storage
that
would
be
accessible
from
from
that
right
side
of
the
sandbox.
B
We
also
a
day
to
explore
third
floor
options,
and
this
is
the
idea
of
entrepreneurial
space
and,
quite
honestly,
it's
a
it's
a
opportunity
for
some
larger
space
that
could
be
used
by
a
group
or
several
groups.
Some
of
the
committee
did
come
forward
and
say
some
kind
of
co-working
space
I
think
it
was
universally
viewed
that
this
obviously
needs
to
be
lower
cost
space.
B
Think
this
light
is
nothing
more
than
just
informational.
We're
not
going
to
dwell
on
the
costs
other
than
to
give
you
a
sense
of
what
these
different
square
footages.
What
some
of
the
increased
cost
above
the
baseline
training
facility
would
be,
and
the
the
three
different
options
one
is
the
base
cost
of
the
training
recruitment
center.
The
other
would
be
additional
retail,
which
would
be
about
2,000
square
feet
again.
On
that
west
side.
B
We
also
look
to
then
at
the
second
floor
and
then
the
third
floor
is
as
the
partial
about
7,500
square
feet
and
the
full
third
floor.
At
almost
an
additional
13,000
square
feet,
we're
here
to
say
to
the
council
and
this
committee
specifically
that
no
decisions
on
the
size
of
the
facility
are
necessary.
Today
we
do
have
a
design
process,
that's
still
underway.
B
We
I
think
are
in
the
place
that,
given
the
feedback
from
the
committee
in
some
of
that
discussion
about
who's
actually
going
to
run
the
space,
how
flexible
can
we
have
the
space?
One
of
the
recommendations
in
the
request
for
council
action
is
to
go
out
for
requests
for
proposals,
for
what
I
would
describe
them
almost
like
a
master
lease
holder
for
this
space.
But
again
one
of
the
just
a
forecast
for
the
council
is
one
of
the
key
policy
decisions
would
be.
B
How
much
are
we
going
to
charge
and
rent
if
we
were
to
undertake
that
work?
And
what
do
we
want
to
just
charge
for
operating
costs
and
cover
the
capital
cost
as
a
city?
Would
we
want
to
have
varying
charges,
depending
on
what
the
uses
are
and
I
think
for
us?
The
committee
was
very
helpful
in
expanding
the
horizon
of
opportunities
from
a
staff
perspective
and
I.
B
Think
a
part
of
a
continuation
of
that
expansion
of
the
horizons
would
be
to
hear
directly
from
people
who
would
step
up,
say,
I
want
to
be
responsible
for
this
space
I
can
bring
other
community
partners
in
and
here's
what
I
think
the
economics
and
the
size
and
the
configuration
should
be
within
the
parameters
of
this
footprint
that
we
have
outlined
today.
So
that
is
one
of
the
actions
that
we're
asking
you
all
to
take
today
is
to
just
gather
more
in-depth
feedback
from
an
operator.
B
B
I
just
want
to
say
in
summary
again
on
the
hiawatha
advisory
committee
want
to
highlight
the
fact
that
there
was
great
differences
of
opinion
about
what
the
future
of
this
facility
should
be.
There
are
many
community
members
who
feel
like
the
City
Council
should
revisit
again.
This
use
overall
of
the
facility
that
most
of
the
discussion
that
we
had
was
a
continuation
of
approximately
2
acres
of
this
plus
some
parking,
which
is
gets
closer
to
3
acres,
which
has
been
a
consistent
theme
that
we've
heard
from
individuals
in
the
community
for
a
number
of
years.
B
We
all
know
that
we
can't
live
in
that
world
in
this
type
of
facility,
and
so
it
will
take
some
underwriting
of
costs
from
the
council
from
the
city
over
a
period
of
time
in
order
to
have
those
larger
scopes
available.
But
I
also
think
it's
unfair
to
come
to
the
council
without
a
more
cohesive
vision
on
what
the
use
of
the
space
can
be
and
that's
the
reason
for
the
RFP
process
is
to
bring
that
cohesive
vision
to
you.
I
also
want
to
thank
council
member
Cano
she's
been
very
good
about
guiding
this
process.
B
She
was
very
instrumental
in
choosing
the
of
perspectives
that
came
from
the
Hiawatha
Advisory,
Committee
and
I
feel
like
we're.
Gonna
have
a
better
project
because
of
that,
if
we
can,
then
mr.
chair
I'd
also
like
to
move
on
just
a
report
on
some
of
the
other
components
of
the
staff
direction.
If
that's,
okay
with
you
good
news,
is
Mary
Ellen
can't
be
here
today
from
seat
pad,
as
many
Ava
knows:
she's
the
public
art
director
for
the
city,
the
Hiawatha
facility
was
given
and
awarded
from
the
public
art
advisory
panel.
B
An
independent
group
$212,000
for
this
facility
that
comes
from
the
one
and
a
half
percent
of
all
of
the
bonds
that
we
sell
that
goes
directly
to
public
art.
According
to
a
council
ordinance,
there
will
be
a
community-based
art
steering
committee
formed
Mary
will
be
responsible
for
that
working
with
the
ward
councilmember
as
I
mentioned
earlier.
We
will
also
then
have
feedback
that
will
be
will
be
receiving
from
as
the
architectural
plans
further
mature
in
terms
of
landscaping,
fencing
and
buffers.
We
are
continuing
to
work
on
I.
E
We
plan
to
refine
this
work
through
the
rest
of
2019
and
begin
building
it
into
our
programming
in
2020,
along
with
the
refinements
of
the
site
plan
vision.
Zero
is
the
city's
effort
to
eliminate
death
and
serious
injury
on
our
roadways
over
the
next
10
years.
All
of
our
work
on
this
site
will
dovetail
very
nicely
with
a
vision,
zero
action
plan
that
we'll
be
bringing
forward
to
you
later
this
year.
E
E
That's
crime
prevention
through
Environmental
Design,
and
the
first
thing
I
think
of
is
a
way
to
appropriately
light
this
area,
which
would
be
part
of
the
project
and
to
landscape
the
area
to
make
it
welcoming
and
then,
of
course,
making
it
a
all
ours,
type
of
or
extended
hours
type
of
activity
place.
All
of
those
things
coming
together
to
create
a
septet
approach
to
the
project.
E
The
next
after-action
that
I'll
report
back
on
is
a
specific
recruitment
plan
for
the
site.
If
you
recall,
we
had
a
direction
to
focus
our
efforts
on
a
three
mile
radius,
I'm,
going
to
provide
just
a
short
report
back
that
when
we
went
to
do
that
work
and
we
drew
that
three
mile
radius.
It
was
almost
the
entire
city
North
Minneapolis.
We
checked
in
with
councilmember
Cano
on
this,
and
we
agreed
on
a
strategy
that
would
be
a
few
tiers
of
recruitment,
one
that
would
be
citywide.
E
These
are
good
jobs
for
many
in
our
city
and
then
a
much
more
focused
effort
in
the
immediately
surrounding
neighborhoods
to
the
facility
I've
met
with
patients.
Ferguson
are
a
director
of
Human
Resources.
We
have
committed
to
working
together
on
this
plan
over
a
few
meetings
that
we've
had.
We
have
decided
that
we
will
start
with
our
public
works
recruitment
efforts
that
we
have
today.
Last
year
we
did
over
20
events
led
by
Monique
fish.
I
cannot
say
enough
about
her
amazing
work.
E
We
want
to
build
upon
that
and
when
we
want
to
do
that
by
working
together
with
the
neighborhood
and
with
neighborhood
organizations,
we
need
to
reach
a
little
deeper
than
what
we
reached
today.
Again:
additional
development
of
this
through
the
rest
of
2019
and
into
2020,
so
that
we
can
really
ramp
up
again
for
2021
when
were
really
in
high
recruitment
mode
and
I'm.
Really
looking
forward
to
working
together
with
with
HR
on
this.
E
The
last
last
item
I'm
going
to
give
you
an
update
on,
is
about
the
training
portion
of
the
facility
we
have
been
working,
I
would
say
in
an
enthusiastic
partnership
so
far
with
several
of
our
local
unions
or
labor
organizations.
I
want
to
recognize
that
Tony
Kelley
is
here
with
us
today
from
Leona
363,
Local
363.
We
are
continuing
to
have
really
good
discussions
and
there
is
high
interest
in
working
together.
E
I
want
to
close
my
portion
of
the
presentation
in
just
recognizing
the
work
of
Lisa
cerny
Lisa's
here
she's
sitting
with
us
today,
she's
provided
tremendous
leadership
on
this
project.
She
has
been
at
every
single
meeting
and
she
has
guided
so
many
of
our
decisions
and
conversations.
So
a
big
shout
out
to
Lisa
for
her
work
on
this
project.
I
can
stand
for
any
questions
or
turn
it
back
to
Marc
as
necessary.
A
A
This
is
not.
This
is
a
lot
of
public
hearing
you
can.
You
can
provide
the
information
to
me
personally
after
the
event,
but
this
is
not
a
public
hearing,
sir.
So
this
is
not
a
public
hearing,
I
repeat
again,
sir:
this
is
not
a
public
hearing.
Let's
have
respect
for
the
process.
This
is
not
a
public
hearing,
we
are
having
a
presentation
from
staff
and
that's
what
we're
here
to
do.
So.
Thank
you,
sir.
A
C
A
A
A
Sir,
like
you
can
speak
yeah,
we
can
speak.
We
will
speak
to
you
after
the
meeting,
but
let's
continue
with
our
discussion,
you
can
talk
to
us
after
the
meeting
we
will
after
the
meeting
we
can
talk
to
you.
My
colleagues
have
said
they
are
willing.
We
are
the
way
the
means
can
be
that
we're
having
a
discussion.
Let's
complete
our
discussion,
sir.
C
C
B
B
We're
excited
about
this
opportunity
to
bring
this
dimension
to
the
project
again,
as
the
voices
here
indicate,
this
is
a
difficult
project.
We
appreciate
the
council's
direction
and
certainly
we'll
be
back
to
you
again
further
as
we
move
along
and
the
construction
and
the
various
bids,
as
well
as
the
results
of
for
the
regressor
proposals.
But
the
two
action
items
are
the
ones
in
front
of
the
council
at
this
time,
which
are
the
issuance
of
the
request
for
proposals
all.
A
Right,
thank
you
very
much.
Mr.
ruff
and
I
would
like
to
personally
thank
councilman
but
kind
of
a
leadership
on
this.
You
know
it's
been
a
very
difficult
discussion.
We've
been
having,
but
also
the
time
and
effort
that
our
city
staff
have
put
into
this
samaroff
Robin
Hutchinson,
David,
Frank,
Lisa,
Cerny
and
many
more
individuals
I
put
a
lot
of
work
in
so
really
appreciate
your
dedication
and
I'm
very
excited
too
about
the
training
center.
A
The
fact
that
this
area
in
Ward
9,
which
is
adjacent
toward
six,
has
some
of
the
largest
unemployment
and
largest
disparities
in
the
whole
state
of
Minnesota
and
having
a
training
center
that
young
people
from
these
communities
could
work
for
Hennepin
County.
Other
metro
area
counties
as
well
as
the
city
of
Minneapolis
is
very
exciting
and
I'm,
very
supportive
of
it,
and
this
is
the
beginning
of
the
discussion
and
I
think
having
this
discussion
is
going
to
be
difficult,
but
we
are
in
the
right
step.
