Description
Minneapolis Budget Committee Meeting
https://lims.minneapolismn.gov
A
Good
afternoon
welcome
to
our
scheduled
budget
committee
meeting.
This
is
our
regular
meeting
for
September
23rd.
We
have
a
quorum
of
council
members
joining
me
on
the
dais.
My
name
is
Lenny
Palmisano
I
chair
this
committee
and
with
me
our
council
members
alone,
Turkana
Andrea,
Jenkins,
Steve,
Fletcher,
Philippe,
Cunningham,
Jeremy,
Schrader,
Lisa,
Goodman
and
council
president
Lissa
bender.
A
I
did
want
to
mention
that
late
last
week,
I
received
a
request
from
the
council
vice
president
that
we
worked
to
reschedule
the
coordinators
offices,
presentation
that
was
originally
set
for
Thursday
and
we
are
back
filling
that
with
smaller
departments
that
don't
have
any
change
items
and
I
think
would
be
generally
seen
as
being
having
non-controversial
budget
requests.
So
that
includes
three
one:
one,
internal
audit,
NBC
I
think
and
a
couple
of
others.
I
will
get
you
that
rundown,
oh
here
it
is
actually
it.
A
If
you
have
any
questions
or
thoughts
about
that,
please
reach
out
to
me,
but
I'm
glad
that
we
were
able
to
accommodate
the
request
as
given,
so
with
that,
let's
go
ahead
and
start
with
community
planning
and
I
development.
We
have
with
us
today
some
of
the
department,
leadership
and
director
Frank
I'll
presume
that
you'll
introduce
everybody.
Thank
you
thank.
B
B
Our
departments
mission
is
to
grow
a
vibrant,
livable
safely
built
city
for
everyone.
We
will
tell
you
today
about
the
great
work
that
cpad
does
and
the
recommended
funding
to
support
that
work
and,
of
course,
we'd
like
to
remember
and
hope
that
you
remember
that
it's
all
about
the
people,
the
people
we
serve,
the
businesses
we
assist
and
the
people
at
sea
bed
who
do
the
work,
our
current
departments,
FTE
count
is
251
and
we
are
recommending
one
additional
FTE
I
will
describe.
B
Our
recommended
Department
2020
budget
is
131
point
four
million
dollars,
which
includes
one
hundred
five
point:
eight
million
dollars
current
service
level
and
twenty
five
point.
Six
million
dollars
in
18
proposed
enhancements
change
items
which
I
will
describe
compared
to
an
adopted
2019
budget
of
130
point
nine
million.
B
A
B
How
describe
our
recommended
change
items
organized
by
sea
pet
division?
First?
Is
economic
policy
and
development
represented
by
director
Eric
Hanson
economic
policy
and
development
works
with
businesses
to
start
stay
and
grow
in
Minneapolis
helps
make
sure
Minneapolis
residents
are
competitive,
for
jobs,
ensures
the
safety,
health
and
livability
of
our
community
through
regulation
enforcement
and
education,
and
provides
entrepreneurs
and
business
owners
with
valuable
information
and
resources
to
plan
launch
and
grow
a
business.
The
first
of
four
change
items
targeted
to
cultural
districts
within
our
recommended
budget
for
next
year
is
the
commercial
property
development
fund.
B
As
you
can
see,
it's
two
and
a
half
million
dollars
one
time
long.
This
is
long
term
financing
for
commercial
properties,
either
acquisition
or
rehab,
with
no
payments
until
the
property
is
sold
or
changes
use.
It
seeds
a
program
which
we
envision
as
also
including
private
funding,
meaning
not
just
city
funding,
and
there
is
some
interest
in
that
already
from
the
outside
community.
This
program
was
developed
by
our
division
based
on
needs
identified
from
the
community,
and
we
think
it's
a
great
tool
that
we
don't
have
at
the
moment
to
help
launch
businesses.
B
C
B
To
help
in
our
initial
conception
identify
for
us
what
they,
the
community
thought,
should
be
the
cultural
districts.
They
asked
us
in
turn,
I'm
simplifying
here
and
condensing
greatly.
Let
me
know
if
I'm
not
answering
your
question,
they
said
to
us
yes,
but
you're.
The
experts
you
tell
us,
which
are
the
geographies
that
should
be
cultural
districts.
There's
been
some
more
data-driven
research
that
city
staff
has
done
and
then
I
believe
as
part
of
the
mayor's
address.
B
B
So,
in
the
spirit
of
telling
you
a
story
and
not
being
able
to
answer
your
question
as
directly
as
maybe
you
meant
it,
it
started
out
as
us
asking
the
community
tell
us
what
you
think
turned
into
communities
saying
you
tell
us
what
you
think,
experts
and
the
mayor
has
designated
or
named
the
ones
that
I
just
mentioned.
I
hope
that's
responsive.
Yes,.
C
B
Madam
chair
councilmember,
Cunningham
I,
think
you
mean
the
questions
specifically
and
there's
a
list.
I
don't
have
here
with
me
of
who
is
invited
to
the
first
meeting,
but
it
was
representative
groups
from
many
of
the
geographies
that
I
just
mentioned
and
they
gave
of
their
time,
came
in
the
middle
of
a
workday
and
said
boy.
We're
not
sure
we
can
keep
doing
this
for
long
time.
One
can
make
a
recommendation
to
us
and
then
we
will
respond,
but
I
can
come
up
with
the
list.
I
don't
have
it
here.
Thank.
C
You
I
would
I
would
appreciate
it.
I
feel
pretty
certain,
though
that
probably
not
a
lot
of
folks
from
Ward
4
were
engaged
and
that's
okay.
This
is
a
part
of
the
challenge
that
we
have
when
you
look
at
the
various
designations
of
cultural
districts,
whether
they're
explicitly
listed
here
or
the
mayor
included
them.
It
really
covers
I
would
say
every
major
ethnic
group
marginalized
identity
in
the
city,
except
for
Southeast,
Asian,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
name
that,
particularly
with
Lowery.
That
is
more
than
likely.
C
The
old,
like
the
largest
density
of
Southeast
Asia
and
businesses
in
Minneapolis
I
would
be
willing
to
debate.
Argue
for
so
so.
I
just
wanted
to
name
that
for
my
colleagues
to
take
into
consideration
that
we
had
that
lack
of
representation
within
cultural
districts
and
that
there
is
more
in
North
Minneapolis
than
just
West
Broadway,
and
we
do
have
challenges
further
and
worth
of
that
as
well.
C
B
Chair
councilmember
Cunningham,
the
commercial
property
development
fund
should
know
that
the
mayor
has
recommended
it,
and
should
the
council
approve
it,
we
will
develop
the
program
guidelines
and
then
be
back
before
the
economic
development
and
regulatory
Services
Committee
with
our
recommended
guidelines
for
how
it
would
work,
how
much
money
per
investment?
What
are
the
specific
repayment
terms
so,
at
the
moment
they
they
don't
exist.
We
would
develop
an
application
process
and
we
would
come
to
the
council
requesting
approval
of
our
recommendation.
B
A
D
E
But
as
the
president
of
the
council,
I
would
suggest
that
San
Francisco
and
established
their
cultural
districts
by
a
resolution,
and
then
they
did
a
really
deep
community
process
to
establish
the
priorities
for
each
of
the
separate
cultural
districts
and
those
are
emerging.
Their
program
is
just
about
a
year
old,
so
I
think
we
could
probably
others
have,
but
all
of
us
I
think
could
learn
a
lot
from
their
experience.
E
My
question
was
about.
You
know
the
overall
goal
of
the
council
really
focusing
and
anti
displacement
strategies
and
to
the
extent
that
we
are
able
to
influence
wealth
building
in
community
and
anti
displacement
strategies.
How
we've
thought
about
making
sure
that
these
funds
and
investments
are
helping?
E
You
know
within
their
displacement
investment
and
not
with
displacement
or
gentrification
or
whatever,
where
it
folks
want
to
use
to
describe
the
idea
of
outside
money
coming
in,
and
you
know
not
benefiting
the
folks
who
are
really
in
the
community.
Are
they
low
income?
People
have
color
that
we
really
want
to
help
build
wealth.
B
Madam
chair
council,
president
bender,
the
the
goals
as
I
understand
them,
of
cultural
districts,
echo
what
you
just
said
it
advancing
racial
equity,
preventing
displacement,
fueling,
business
and
job
development,
and
on
and
on
and
in
the
development
of
the
guidelines
for
this
program
should
it
be
approved
by
the
council
for
next
year.
We
would
do
our
very
best
to
come
up
with
what
the
guidelines
would
be
to
support
investments
that
accomplish
all
these
things,
certainly
with
displacement
top
of
mind,
anti
displacement
top
of
mind.
Thank.
E
Think
that
is
a
reasonable
answer
for
the
point
of
the
process
that
we
are
in
now,
but
I
do
think.
At
least
for
me,
the
idea
of
investing
a
pretty
significant
amount
of
money
would
would
require
those
things
to
be
in
place
before
we
went
started
out.
Spending
the
money
and
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
that's
not
sort
of
like
an
afterthought
or
that
we
really
meaningfully
do
want
to
build
in
that
anti
displacement
lens
and
those
particular
tools
which
I
think
are
challenging
from
the
very
beginning
and
I
know.
F
F
We
just
certainly
haven't
really
codified
and
and
really
created
supportive
mechanisms
to
help
those
communities,
and
so
this
is
a
process
in
order
to
I
believe
really
formulate
our
support
for
these
communities
and
include
communities,
voices
into
that
process
and
I
think
there's
a
very
similar
process
going
on
to
one
of
our
biggest
cultural
core
towards
the
upper
harbour
terminal
which,
and
that
and
I
think
the
term
cultural
is
sort
of
loosely
I
use
to
refer
to
ethnicity
as
well
as
art
or
food
culture.
I
mean
it's,
it
embodies
a
wide.
G
So
there
can
be
more
conversations
between
us
around
the
future
and
near
near-term
next
steps
and
cultural
districts.
So
I'm
wondering
if
Heather
would
you
feel
comfortable
David?
Would
you
feel
comfortable
sharing
the
space
with
Heather?
So
so
maybe
she
can
brief
us
a
little
bit
on
what
we're
anticipating
to
get
done.
Yet
this
year
we
just
had
a
steering
committee
meeting
about
two
weeks
ago
and
talked
about
our
short-term
goals
for
the
next
three
to
four
months
here,
with
some
anticipated
next
steps
for
next
year.
G
You
know
two
years
plus
of
community
engagement
on
this
robust
community
meetings,
more
discussions
before
decisions
were
made,
so
I
think
we,
as
elected
officials,
have
to
figure
out
how
we
set
the
tenor
and
tone
of
these
of
this
process,
but
just
wanted
to
briefly
share
that.
That's
the
the
general
bucket
of
feedback
from
these
engagement
sessions,
so
Heather,
if
you,
if
you
may
I'm.
H
Happy
to
answer
any
specific
questions.
I'll
just
say
that
to
this
point,
all
we
have
done
is
research
and
data
gathering
with
regard
to
cultural
districts
in
other
cities,
we've
produced
a
draft
report
that
we're
happy
to
share.
It
is
a
draft
and
then
we're
in
the
process
right
now,
of
developing
criteria
for
those
cultural
districts
to
be
established
and
for
them
to
access
the
resources
that
are
set
aside
for
the
2020
budget,
as
proposed
by
Mayor
Frye,
and
the
idea
behind
that
is
that
you're
leveraging
existing
resources
and
providing
some
new
resources.
B
Madam
care,
council
president
bender,
the
answer
to
that
question
is
yes
right.
So
the
way
we
have
been
conceiving
of
it
is
that
it.
If
and
when
the
council
adopts
something
like
this,
then
our
next
step
would
be
to
write
the
program
guidelines
and
bring
it
forward
to
Council
for
approval,
and
only
with
those
in
place
approved
or
approved.
As
amended,
would
we
be
prepared
to
spend
the
money?
So,
yes,
you'll
have
a
chance
to
review
and
approve
the
guidelines
before
we
spend
the
money.
B
On
okay,
next
is
the
great
streets
real
estate
gap
financing.
This
is
the
recommendation
is
for
$500,000
of
CDBG
program
income.
One
time
we
are
asking
to
replenish
the
source
because
we
have
been
using
it.
It
has
been
and
will
continue
to
be
used
also
for
our
grow
north
program
and
for
the
CDBG
portion
of
beat
app
or
business
technical
assistance
program.
So
it's
written
as
great
streets,
real
estate
gap
financing,
and
it
is
certainly
that,
but
it
is
also
for
those
other
components
that
we
fund
with
CDBG.
B
The
second
of
four
change
items
related
to
cultural
districts
is
an
expansion
of
the
great
streets
facade
program,
and
this
is
to
spend
$200,000
one
time
to
include
building
systems
inside
targeted
areas.
So,
as
the
facade
program
name
suggests
typically
and
to
date,
we
only
have
money
available
to
spend
on
the
outside
of
the
building.
Frequently
what
happens,
especially
in
areas
of
concentrated
poverty,
is
we
start
working
with
a
building
owner
and
we
find
out
yes,
but
it's
nice
that
you're
here
to
pay
for
the
storefront
and
checkpointing
the
bricks.
B
B
I
just
want
to
take
a
moment
to
say
we
are
also
exploring
we've
spoken
to
some
of
you
about
the
program
match
requirements,
because
we
have
heard
from
the
community
that
some
of
our
matched
program
requirements
are
challenging,
and
so,
as
part
of
our
look
this
summer
and
fall
and
all
of
our
economic
development
programs
who
are
evaluating
the
match
as
well.
We.
I
You,
madam
chair
mr.
Frank,
this
is
kind
of
the
kind
of
thing
that
leads
me
towards
the
concern
about
displacement.
So
you
have
a
property
owner
who's
been
there
forever,
who
hasn't
taken
care
of
their
building,
who
leases
to
a
tenant,
who's,
cultural,
cultural
organization
and
now
we're
helping
them
fix
up
their
building,
which
will
then
result
in
higher,
rent
and
or
removing
the
tenant.
Is
there
a
way
to
target
this
in
such
a
way?
That
would
only
be
for
people
who
own
their
buildings
who
operate
those
kinds
of
businesses.
I
I
mean
I,
feel
like
what
it's
doing
is
helping
slumlords
fix
systems.
That
then
turn
around
and
kick
out.
I
mean
just
look
at
like
I
mean
I.
Give
you
a
dozen
examples,
but
I'll
give
you
the
one.
That's
on
my
mind
today,
which
is
my
friend
who
owns
and
if
she's
Felipe's,
Cunningham
Cunningham's
constituent,
who
owns
the
goddess
of
glass,
who
lost
her
lease.
So
she's
done
something
amazing.
She's
created
this
artists
studio
and
now
she's
lost
release
and
didn't
have
anywhere
else
to
go
so
I
mean
we.
I
B
We
do
a
competitive
RFP
for
culturally
aware
neighborhood
nonprofits,
who
are
the
ones
who
disperse
these
funds,
so
we
sign
agreements
after
selecting
them,
and
then
they
make
these
investments
we
can
can
and
will
certainly
look
into
how
to
prevent
what
you're
describing
our
sense
over
the
past
year
of
doing
the
facade
work
not
with
the
system's
money
attached
has
been
that
that's
not
been
as
much
of
a
concern
because
of
the
mechanism
we
use
to
disperse
the
money.
But
we'll
note
the
comment
and
look
into
it.
I
J
I
Loring
Park
immediately
there's
a
sale
and
then
there's
gentrification
and
I.
Just
worry
I'm,
not
you
know
obsessed
with
it,
but
I
do
think
that
there's
legitimacy
to
this
idea
of
business
gentrification
and
you
should
be
careful
that
we're
not
doing
something
to
assist
and
I
would
also
say.
We
should
force
those
building
owners
to
match
we're,
not
asking
the
businesses
to
match
we're,
asking
the
people
who
own
the
property
to
match
and
we're
helping
giving
them
money
to
improve
their
property.
I
B
B
B
The
third
of
four
change
items
targeted
to
cultural
districts
is
this
one,
which
is
the
cultural
district
arts
fund,
$100,000
one-time
this
is
this
money
would
be
run
through
our
grade
streets,
business
district
support
program,
and
it
would
be
additional
money
named
to
be
used
for
things
like
murals
and
arts
programming
activities
in
cultural
districts.
So,
as
I
mentioned
just
a
moment
ago,
when
we
our
business
district
support,
we
select
the
local,
nonprofits
and
neighborhood
organizations.
B
Techhire
the
request
for
two
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
one-time
this
is
more
internship
and
training
for
participants.
This
addresses
workforce
gaps
for
employees
of
color
at
tech
companies
since
2015
just
to
impress
you
with
a
few
numbers.
Here
we
have
invested
over
a
million
and
a
half
dollars
in
dedicated
MSP
tech
hire
and
local
adult
program
funds.
We've
leveraged
six
hundred
thousand
dollars
from
other
sources
too,
as
well
as
dislocated
workers,
and
we
OA,
and
this
funding
is
provided
177
full
scholarships
for
IT
training.
B
The
scholarship
recipients
are
all
low-income,
Minneapolis
residents,
nearly
100
percent
women
or
people
of
color,
and
the
outcomes
for
this
group
include
a
higher
rate
of
86%
and
an
average
wage
gain
of
13
dollars
and
90
cents
per
hour.
Some
1600
people
have
completed
tech
hire,
including
both
the
scholarship
people
are
mentioning
and
others
of
which
45%
are
people
of
color
31%
women
and
the
average
wage
gain
for
that
group
is
$9,
42
cents.
B
The
fourth
of
the
four
change
items
targeted
to
cultural
districts
is
the
coop
and
employee
owner
Opportunity
Fund.
This
is
$100,000
one-time
and
it's
the
answer
to
the
questions
so
I've
taken
the
co-operative
technical,
technical
assistance,
program,
training
and
I
want
to
do
it,
but
I
have
costs
that
I
don't
know
how
to
pay,
for
this
is
for
the
preparation
and
transaction
costs
to
create
or
convert
to,
worker,
owned
cooperative
opportunities,
and
particularly
for
businesses
located
in
cultural
districts.
B
B
Gonna
change
divisions
here
from
economic
policy
and
development
to
housing,
policy
and
development,
and
that's,
of
course,
represented
by
directory
and
drea
Brennan.
The.
Let
me
just
talk
high-level
for
a
minute.
The
city's
housing
challenges
are
complex
and
dynamic,
and
the
city
embraces
a
robust
set
of
broad
strategies,
including
investment
policy,
public-private
partnership.
B
Innovative
new
programs
and
tenant
supports
just
want
a
name
for
you,
the
seven
strategies
that
we
are
currently
using
increase
the
supply,
diversity
and
affordability
in
all
neighborhoods,
affordable
housing,
production
and
preservation,
preservation
of
naturally
occurring
affordable,
housing,
improving
and
sustaining
access
to
homeownership,
especially
among
low-income
renters
people
of
color
and
indigenous
people,
supporting
renters,
preventing
and
ending
homelessness
and
maximizing
public
land
resources
to
achieve
City,
Housing
and
equity
goals.
So
all
the
things
I'm
gonna
mention
for
the
rest
of
my
time
in
front
of
you-
are
on
those
strategies
and
to
achieve
those
goals.
B
First,
is
the
affordable
housing
trust
fund
of
nine
point?
Eight
million
dollars?
This
is
the
change
item,
nine
point,
eight
million
dollars,
including
some
one-time
money
and
some
$50,000
ongoing-
and
this
is
above
a
seven
million
dollar
base,
so
recommending
seventeen
million
dollars
total,
including
the
base
and
the
change
item
for
2020
221
million
in
current
year,
and
this,
of
course
helps
us
meet
our
Met
Council
goals,
and
this
is
our
one
of
our
main
drivers
of
affordable
housing
production.
K
You,
madam
chair,
comes
member
Cunningham.
The
key
criteria
is
that
the
units
that
are
produced
with
the
affordable
housing
trust
fund
have
to
be
rental
units,
affordable
to
and
occupied
by
households
with
incomes
at
or
below
50%
of
the
area
median
income.
So
that's
the
key
requirement,
I
think.
As
of
now
there's
a
minimum
sort
of
number
of
units
that
is
required
and
that's
10
units
I,
believe
so
any
any
residential
development
that
have
10
or
more
units
where
20%
of
the
units
at
least,
will
be
affordable
at
50
percent
of
area
median
income.
K
So
that's
the
general
project
criteria.
The
units
themselves
have
to
be
affordable
in
order
to
get
to
get
any
kind
of
public
finance.
So
you
know
the
minimum
is
20%
of
the
units
have
to
be
affordable
at
50
percent
of
area
median
income,
but
only
those
20%
would
then
be
eligible
for
financial
assistance,
there's
a
whole
host
of
other
competitive
criteria.
K
So
these
funds
are
awarded
pursuant
to
a
request
for
proposals
that's
issued
annually
and
every
year
we
bring
to
the
City
Council
what
our
proposed
criteria
for
that
competitive
funding
is,
and
but
what
I
can
tell
you
is
that
for
the
last
several
years
the
priority
has
been
projects
that
serve
extremely
low-income
households,
so
households
earning
at
or
below
30%
of
area,
meaning
and
projects
that
serve
households
who
are
experiencing
or
at
significant
risk
of
experiencing
homelessness.
Households
that
serve
other
other
sort
of
you
know
higher
need
population.
C
Thank
you,
I
did
I
think
that
it's
important
for
folks
to
understand
a
lot
of
my
constituents,
don't
understand
that
our
low
density
area
doesn't
have
a
lot
of
projects
that
happen
that
qualify
for
this
money.
So
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
there's
that
clarification
for
folks,
because
we
have
low
density,
we
don't
have
a
lot
of
projects
of
ten
units
or
more
and
so
folks,
when
we
think
about
investment
in
areas
where
there
is
concentrated
poverty.
F
B
L
B
Fletcher
for
the
trust
fund
yeah,
let's
see
last
year,
was
21
million,
and
this
recommendation
would
set
next
years
at
17
million,
including
both
ongoing
funding
and
the
one
time
that
was
approved
by
the
council,
the
last
budget
for
current
year,
and
that
we're
recommending
to
be
approved
by
the
council
for
next
year.
17
versus
21
Thank.
L
E
E
You
know
I've
kind
of
always
wondered
if
there's
more,
we
could
do
to
extend
that
time
frame.
I
know,
st.
Paul
is
doing
a
40
year
deal.
We
have
that.
You
know
it
is
in
our
policies,
but
if
we
aren't
getting
any,
for
example,
maybe
council
members
want
to
look
at,
can
we
get
longer
term
affordability
or
how
is
it
affecting
different
parts
of
the
city?
I
mean
we
are
at
a
point
where
we
are
you
know
the
property
tax
burden
on
our
community
is.
E
Is
straining
people's
ability
to
to
pay
their
their
housing
costs,
and
so
I
think
for
those
of
us
who
are
in
communities
where
these
increases
and
property
values
are
straining
households,
you
know,
abilities
have
to
pay
their
housing
costs
like
these
are
good
questions
to
be
asking.
Are
we
just
you
know
taxing
people
here
and
how
is
it
being
spent?
So
I
just
wanted
to
say
that.
B
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Next
is
an
investment
in
naturally
occurring,
affordable
housing,
we're
recommending
three
million
dollars,
one
time
which
would
continue
the
amount
of
funding
in
2019.
It
would
split
as
current
year
between
preservation
fund
and
the
small
medium
multifamily
pilots
no
longer
quite
a
pilot.
It's
worth
noting
than
in
2019
the
NOAA
preservation
fund,
the
courier
we
spent
all
million
and
a
half
dollars
already
on
a
two
hundred
and
nine
unit
purchase
by
a
on
and
the
small
medium
multifamily
pilot
is
committed.
B
While
we
work
with
the
land
bank
and
liske
on
our
partnership
to
identify
potential
projects
to
purchase.
So
this
is
money
that
we
use
and,
as
we've
talked
about
in
the
housing
policy
and
development
committee,
naturally-occurring,
affordable
housing
is
a
very,
very
important
place
for
us
to
be
participating
in
the
market.
B
Minneapolis
homes,
we
are
recommending
two
million
dollars
one-time
as
l
four
clicks
to
elfric
port.
The
manager
of
this
section
likes
to
say
this
is
to
buy,
build
and
rehab
largely
new
construction
homes
on
soon
to
be,
formerly
single
family
lots.
Owner
occupied
one
to
four.
This
leverages
the
asset
of
the
hundreds
of
vacant,
lots
that
the
city
still
owns
and
which
cost
us
money
to
maintain,
and
it
also
leverages
between
750,000
and
a
million
dollars
from
Minnesota
Housing
Council.
C
C
K
Madam
chair
come
from
BER
Cunningham
Minneapolis
Holmes.
If
this
funding
is
approved,
then
we
would
bring
forward
the
proposal
for
the
criteria
that
we
were
proposed
to
award
these
funds,
and
so
that
would
establish
the
key
priorities
of
of
the
program
and
and
and
the
strategy
I
guess
in
terms
of
what
are
the
you
know,
there
will
be
a
balance.
You
know
there
will
be
a
need
to
balance
different
sort
of
you
know,
policy,
priorities
and
different
goals,
a
lot
of
which
articulated
in
the
Minneapolis
2040
plan.
K
But,
for
example,
the
you
know
the
funds
will
go,
won't
go
as
far
if
the
priority
is
on
longer
term
affordability.
If
the
priority
is
on
producing
more
units
at
a
lower
cost,
then
that
would
probably
happen
and
there'd
be
fewer.
You
know
long
term
affordable
units,
so
these
are
conversations
that
we'll
be
having
and
that
we'll
be
bringing
forward
and
making
specific
recommendations.
K
The
other
thing
that
we
are
currently
that
we're
hoping
to
learn
about
is
we
just
received
proposals
for
the
missing
middle
pilot
and
that's
you
know,
for
infill
development
on
for
the
production
of
anywhere
from
3
to
20
unit
type
developments.
K
As
you
mentioned
earlier,
we
don't
have
a
lot
of
you,
know
financial
assistance
available
for
that
smaller
scale
development,
so
we're
hoping
to
bring
what
we
learned
from
that
missing
middle
pilot
about
how
to
bring
more
affordability
into
some
of
that
smaller
scale
development
and
also
incorporate
that
and
some
recommendations
from
Minneapolis
Holmes
too.
But.
D
C
I
think
that
just
kind
of
what
I
have
when
I
think
about
this
investment.
You
know
we
talked
about
criteria
and
Policy
Priorities
I.
Think
what
we're
missing
is
a
higher
level
plan
about
how
it
all
comes
together.
What
are
the
outcomes?
The
fact
that
we
own
we
have
the
city
owns
so
much
land,
that's
a
huge
asset
and
being
able
to
leverage
that
to
really
impact
wealth,
building
opportunities
in
North
Minneapolis
so
just
want
to
first
name
that
as
we're
thinking
about
building
out
this
program
for
next
year.
B
We
have
heard
loud
and
clear
that
that
the
council
believes
we
could
do
a
better
job
explaining
how
all
of
our
interlocking
investments
that
we
recommend
to
you
and
programs
that
we
recommend
to
you
fit
together,
and
we
will,
before
long,
the
in
front
of
the
Housing
Committee,
but
also
coming
around,
to
talk
to
you
about
how
all
of
our
different
programs
and
strategies
and
goals
fit
together
so
didn't
want
to
let
that
go
without
a
chance
to
make
an
advertisement.
But
anyway,
the
answer.
Your
question
is
it's
both.
Okay.
Thank
you.
Council.
M
Item
I
didn't
want
to
let
that
point
go.
That
is
been
a
long.
Frustration
of
mine,
I
think
it's
not
and
I
just
want
to
point
at
least
for
myself.
It's
not
just
how
these
very
great
programs
work
together
and
work
to
hit
all
parts
of
the
spectrum
for
housing,
but
also,
how
does
it
get
the
results?
You
know
I
think
what's
what's
hard
about
all
these
is
these
are
fantastic
programs
that
you're
getting
good
results,
but
we
are
seeing
you
know.
How
is
this
affecting
the
need?
M
How
should
we
be
adjusting,
but
these
your
seven
strategies
are
good,
but
what's
what's
the
right
mix,
it's
hard
to
see
where
we
should
be
investing
I,
really
appreciate
it,
the
department's
doing
a
lot
of
pilots
to
be
able
to
say
how
we
should
adjust,
but
it
it
seems
a
little
bit
premature
when
we
don't
know
we're
trying
to
make
sure
that
we're
getting
a
certain
ami
or
housing
in
a
certain
area
high
and
really
having
this
more
comprehensive.
Look
at
it.
M
So
I
think,
besides
saying
how
these
programs
work
together,
say:
what's
that
overall
goal
and
how
will
how
will
we
turn
the
corner?
I
think
the
my
final
point
on
this
I
it
feels
like
this
is
a
very
big
shift
for
your
apartment.
Yeah,
it
seems
to
be
the
the
culture
has
been
the
city.
You
know
we
depend
so
much
on
federal
funding.
B
B
Stable
homes,
stable
schools,
we
have
spoken
to
the
council
and
chair
Gordon's
committee
about
it
several
times.
The
recommendation
here
is
for
three
point:
three:
five
million
dollars
one-time,
which
continues
the
same
amount
of
funding,
as
was
approved
by
the
council
for
current
year
2019,
should
it
be
approved
for
2020.
This
will
be
the
second
of
three
years
and
the
good
news
this
time
is
that
the
program
exists,
so
we
wouldn't
be
inventing
it
at
the
beginning
of
next
year.
Should
the
council
approve
this
funding.
L
Think
you
trip
Amazon
I'm,
just
curious
about
the
decision
not
to
sort
of
project
future
spending
on
this,
since
the
whole
point
is
to
keep
kids
in
school
in
homes
long
enough
to
get
through
school
without
disruption.
It
feels
like
one
year
one-time
spending
without
sort
of
thinking
about
this.
As
a
part
of
our
projected
future
spending
would
undermine
the
goal
of
the
program.
B
Madam
chair
councilmember,
Fletcher,
fair
point:
I
would
say
that
this
was
originally
conceived
by
the
department
as
three
year
program
and
the
way
the
the
budgeting
for
it
seemed
wisest.
Given
the
scale
of
the
request
was
to
do
is
a
series
of
one-time
asks,
as
opposed
to
Han
going
and
then
hopefully
somebody
remembers
to
turn
it
off,
which
is
why
it
shows
here
as
the
one-time
funding.
B
Homeowner
rehab,
the
request
is
for
$750,000
of
CDBG
ongoing.
This
is
an
anti
displacement
program
which
pays
for
necessary
improvements
for
homeowners
in
homes.
As
you
remember
from
last
year,
we
are
now
doing
this
in-house.
It
serves
homeowners
below
80
percent
of
median
family
income
and
the
recommended
change
item
doubles.
The
number
of
households
served.
B
The
office
to
End
Homelessness
are
heading
home
Hennepin.
The
recommendation
is
for
$50,000
ongoing.
As
you
can
see,
our
memorandum
of
understanding
with
Hennepin
County
is
ending,
so
we
need
both
a
new
agreement
and
presumably
new
funding.
As
you
may
remember,
this
was
originally
a
city
FTE
and
now
it's
a
county,
FTE
I
should
point
out
that
some
people
remember
it
was
$45,000
and
it's
shown
here
as
$50,000.
B
B
If
I
may
I'll
just
flip
ahead
and
show
legal
services
for
rent
or
repairs,
this
is
one
hundred
thousand
dollars
one-time
continuing
the
same
amount
of
money
from
2018
and
current
year
in
2019.
This
is
a
strong
partnership
between
us
and
regulatory
services
and
it
serves
about
225
renters
per
year
in
district
court
with
legal
services.
C
C
B
Next
and
we're
getting
there
appreciate
everyone's
patience
is
the
mPHA
or
minneapolis
public
housing
authority,
energy
efficiency
improvements?
This
is
recommended
2.3
million
dollars,
one
time,
we've
modeled
it
on
an
existing
project
that
may
come
to
us
of
one
hundred
and
seventy
four
deeply
affordable
units,
which
would
then
leverage
nineteen
point,
four
million
dollars
in
other
funding,
reducing
energy
costs
for
the
buildings
we
modeled
by
40
percent
and
carbon
footprint
by
50
percent,
and
improves
livability
and
accessibility
for
existing
and
future
residents.
So
this
is
a
sustainability,
green
building,
affordability,
recommendation.
B
B
E
You,
madam
chair
I,
think
even
our
leader
be
publishing.
What
that
cut
is
cutting
yep
and
I
also
did
want
to
note
that
something
that
is
not
included
in
the
mayor's
proposed
budget
or
in
the
staff
proposal
is
the
is
any
expansion
of
the
funds
that
we
allocated
for
rent
or
legal
services.
Beyond
that
one
particular
specific
item
and
I
think
this
is
a
place
where
having
some
more
outcome
based
driving
of
the
kind
of
budget
proposals
would
be
helpful.
E
When
New
York
City
passed
their
rate
to
council
ordinance
that
gave
all
low-income
tenants
in
the
city,
legal
protection
and
housing
court,
they
saw
35
percent
drop
in
eviction
filings,
which
in
Minneapolis
would
translate
to
1,000
evictions
never
being
filed.
If
we
had
the
same
outcomes
and
80%
of
people
served
in
their
program
were
able
to
stay
in
their
homes,
which
would
be
2400
people,
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
staying
in
their
homes
and
so
being
able
to
compare
those
kinds
of
numbers
to
how
much
we're
getting
out
of
these.
E
B
Madam
chair
council,
president
bender
to
the
first
part
your
question
about
what
is
the
cut
to
the
answer
is
that
the
the
recommended
cut
is
sized
to
take
into
account
specific
things,
but
our
understanding
from
the
mayor's
office
and
from
the
Budget
Office
is
that
it's
not
to
cut
those
things.
It's
that,
in
the
spirit
of
the
mayor's
budget
instructions
this
year,
two
departments
to
contribute
money
towards
specific
change.
Item
requests
in
addition
to
the
360.
B
You
see
here,
there's
about
another
three
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars,
that
of
things
that
we
think
are
a
good
idea
and
we
will
start
doing
or
continue
doing
that
are
not
covered
in
the
enhancements
for
a
total
of
about
seven
hundred
thousand
dollars.
So
none
not
sure
exactly
the
right
way
to
say
this,
but
the
things
that
this
got
size
to
are
not
things.
We
will
stop
doing
it's
paying
for
ongoing
programs
that
we
value
and
we
will
keep
doing.
C
You,
madam
chair
for
the
low
barrier
housing
initiative,
I,
think
that
this
is
really
really
critical
and
I'm.
Grateful
that
we're
focusing
on
folks
who
are
unsheltered
experiencing
unsheltered
homelessness.
I
just
want
to
name
to
my
colleagues
as
well
as
staff
to
think
long
term,
around
low
barrier
housing
initiatives
to
include
folks
who
are
coming
out
who
are
returning
to
the
community
after
being
incarcerated
that
we
as
a
city
really
don't
have
a
lot
of
supports
around
reentry.
C
And
so
when
we
look
at
the
entire
public
health
approach
to
public
safety,
re-entry
is
one
of
the
ways
that
we
can
really
focus
on
lowering
someone's
involved
with
crime
in
the
criminal
justice
system.
So
when
I
read
through
the
proposal
and
I
saw
a
low
barrier,
housing
I
kind
of
was
like
oh
cool.
Maybe
that's
it,
but
I.
So
I
I'm
really
I'm
glad
that
we're
focusing
on
the
folks
who
really
need
it,
but
just
want
a
name
as
well
that
there's
serious
needs
for
folks
who
are
coming
out
of
incarceration.
A
B
So
cheerfulness,
oh
no,
that
is
the
end
of
our
presentation,
a
big
thank
you
to
see
peds
staff
for
all
your
work,
including
three
divisions.
We
didn't
hear
as
much
about
this
afternoon.
Development
services,
director,
steep
or
long-range
planning
director
had
their
Worthington
and
operations
represented
by
director,
Karuna
Mahajan.
Who
was
right
with
me
for
the
past
weeks,
as
we
pulled
this
together
for
you
and
to
the
committee.
Thank
you
for
your
time
and
attention.
We
look
forward
to
working
with
you.
A
Thank
you
with
that
I'm
going
to
make
a
motion
to
receive
in
file
the
C
ped
the
department
report,
all
those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
aye
opposed
that
carries.
Thank
you.
We're
gonna
move
now
to
the
reg
services
department
budget
briefing
with
us.
We
have
Director
Keller,
we'll
give
her
just
a
few
moments
to
make
that
transition.
Although
since
yeah
the
slide
show
on
the
computer,
there
is
continuous
yeah
it'll
help
in
the
transitions.
N
N
Regulatory
Services
is
a
department
of
182
people
in
five
divisions,
spread
across
four
locations
and
two
shifts
two
of
our
divisions
have
regular
hours
at
least
six
days
a
week.
Our
mission
is
to
strengthen
communities
through
partnerships
with
residents,
neighborhoods
and
businesses
in
order
to
make
the
city
safer,
healthier
and
more
inviting
for
all.
We
use
engagement,
education
and
enforcement
as
methods
to
accomplish
this
mission
as
a
brief
overview
of
our
2020
current
service
level.
N
Overall,
there
is
stability
for
regulatory
services
between
the
2019
adopted
budget
and
the
2020
current
service
level,
budget,
accounting
for
salary
and
cost
allocation
growth.
If
you
look
at
the
housing
inspection
row,
you'll
see
variability
in
the
other
funds
category
between
the
two
years.
This
is
due
to
a
one-time
addition
of
a
two
million
dollar
rental
repair
revolving
fund
in
the
2019
budget.
There's
also
a
slight
reduction
in
traffic
control
due
to
2019
s,
one-time
funding
for
a
number
of
our
part-time
staff.
N
Moving
forward
to
our
2020
change
items,
my
first
item
today
is
the
phased
sunset
of
the
revolving
fund.
Not
the
rent
I
pay
revolving
fund
I
just
mentioned,
but
the
traditional
one.
As
you
know,
historically,
the
department
and
city
have
relied
on
the
regulatory
services
revolving
fund
for
a
variety
of
expenses,
including
staffing,
contractor
payments
and
technology
improvements
with
the
departments,
change
and
approach
to
a
people,
centered
model
and
a
strong
economy.
Revenues
into
the
fund
have
dropped
over
the
past
several
years,
while
expenses
were
projected
to
remain
steady.
N
In
short,
we
have
an
old
funding
model
supporting
a
new
business
model.
Over
the
past
three
years,
the
department
has
made
strides
and
reducing
the
magnitude
of
the
imbalance
and
shoring
up
the
fund
through
one-time
dollars
in
2019.
We
were
aided
in
this
effort
through
bridge
funding
recommended
by
the
mayor
and
approved
by
this
council.
N
This
year's
proposal
takes
significant
steps
toward
resolving
the
imbalance
by
increasing
the
department's
general
fund
appropriation
by
five
hundred
and
thirty
seven
thousand
and
combining
those
dollars
with
three
hundred
and
forty
eight
thousand
dollars
from
vacant
positions
in
the
department
which
we
would
then
eliminate
taken
together.
These
steps
would
transition
eight
and
a
half
positions
out
of
the
revolving
fund
as
part
of
the
five-year
financial
transaction
presented
by
the
mayor.
Additional
dollars
are
planned
for
2021
to
close
out
the
fund.
A
multi-year
phase-out
means
regulatory
services
can
maintain
17
staff
in
their
current
positions.
N
In
the
2019
budget,
two
new
inspector
FTEs
were
included
I
held
off
on
filling
those
positions,
while
a
long
term
solution
for
the
revolving
fund
was
developed
as
part
of
the
2020
budget.
The
mayor
has
recommended
that
those
positions
be
filled,
one
as
an
inspector
and
the
other
a
tenant
navigator,
as
the
department
continues
its
arc
towards
engagement
and
supportive
renter
rights,
our
tenant
navigators
who
work
alongside
our
inspectors
to
increase
housing
stability
by
breaking
brought
down
barriers
and
addressing
systemic
disparities
in
housing.
Sometimes
these
are
time-consuming
cases
involving
multiple
departments
or
jurisdictions.
N
Other
times,
they're
relatively
quick,
like
a
recent
case
where
a
tenant
navigator
met
with
a
resident
at
the
government
center
and
walked
her
over
to
housing,
court
and
legal
aid
so
that
she
could
meet
with
a
legal
aid
attorney
universally.
It
is
the
tenant
navigators
ability
to
make
a
connection
and
to
spend
the
extra
time
that
is
driving
positive
outcomes.
While
we
are
finalizing
a
way
to
better
track
these
cases
and
elms.
Our
current
records
indicate
around
50
tenet
navigator
cases,
thus
far
in
2019.
N
N
Transitioning
to
traffic
control,
the
proposal
in
front
of
you
is
to
augment
our
part-time
staffing
days
like
yesterday,
where
there
was
a
Vikings
game.
A
Twins
game
and
an
open
streets
event
show
how
critical
these
part-time
staff
are
to
city
operations
with
the
dual
equity
and
economic
inclusion
impacts.
Part-Time
positions
in
traffic
control
have
proven
successful
in
maximizing
our
ability
to
provide
smooth
traffic
flow
for
rush
hour
and
special
events
proactively
manage
neighborhood
and
parking
issues
and
provide
an
often-used
employee
pipeline
in
to
full-time
positions.
N
A
relatively
new
program
for
the
first
few
years,
part-time
staff
were
funded
with
one-time
dollars
in
beginning
in
2019
and
continuing
in
2020.
Some
of
those
positions
are
converting
into
ongoing
funding.
This
provides
greater
stability
for
the
department
and
our
city.
Additional
capacity
is
included
through
one-time
dollars
in
recognition
of
increasing
need
for
both
intersection,
staffing
and
parking
complaints.
This
proposal
is
funded
in
part
through
anticipated
revenue
from
traffic
control
at
construction
sites
and
enforcement
of
meters,
leaving
the
2020
net
impact
at
392
thousand
dollars.
E
You,
madam
chairman,
cube
earlier.
Maybe
I'll
just
make
three
quick
comments.
The
first
days,
I
just
want
to
appreciate
the
care
that
you've
taken,
along
with
leadership
in
the
department
to
solve
the
structural
problem
in
your
budget,
which
was
really
not
rug,
services
fault
so
to
speak,
but
rather
just
we're.
E
Shifting
kind
of
a
philosophy
of
how
we're
funding
this
department,
which
I
strongly
support
and
frankly
I,
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
the
resources
that
we
need
to
make
all
of
the
commits
to
meet
all
of
the
commitments
that
we've
made
to
our
community
and
making
sure
people
are
living
in
safe
and
stable
housing
and,
while
I
understand
the
decision
to
hold
off
on
hiring
the
tenant
navigators.
I'm
a
little
disappointed.
E
Just
because
of
how
much
support
was
voiced
in
the
council
for
this
position
both
last
year
and
when
we
were
adopting
the
renter
first
policy
early
last
year.
So
going
forward.
I
hope
that
we
really
are
able
to
follow
through
on
the
things
that
are
really
highly
prioritized
and
really
strongly
supported
in
the
council,
because
this
transition
will
be
ongoing
for
the
department
and
I
hope.
You
know
that
we
have
you
know
when
we
make
that
commitment.
E
I,
think
you
have
the
strong
support
of
council
members
who
are
we're
saying
those
things
at
budget
time
and
during
policy.
I
almost
I
just
wanted
to
know
since
we're
on
this
plate.
Now
we're
hearing
more
and
more
about
sort
of
the
interaction
between
right
services,
traffic
control
and
then
kind
of
our
overall.
E
How
we're
enforcing
things
in
the
streets
we're
hearing
a
lot
of
complaints
about
parking
in
the
bike
lanes
on
three
one,
one,
especially
I,
think
when
new
facilities
are
going
in
where
people
are
just
getting
used
to
it
or
there's
need
to
shift
the
design
and
then
some
conversation
about
how
we're
using
resources
about
off-duty
versus
on-duty
traffic
control
for
our
ramps.
So
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
that
those
are
conversations
that
I
know.
Council
members
are
asking
about
and
if
you
want
to
comment
now,
it's
fine
or
not.
N
Chair
Palmisano
I
would
be
happy
to
respond
to
either
or
both
of
those
comments.
Sure
that
was
a
good
time
now
be
the
time
in
terms
of
Thank
You,
chair,
Panzano
comes
from
offender.
N
Thank
you
for
the
for
the
comments
in
terms
of
the
the
positions
that
were
or
that
were
delayed
and
they're
being
filled,
and
how
are
we
going
to
allocate
resources
going
forward
in
addition
to
a
study
that
is
being
funded
by
the
family
housing
fund,
to
look
at
our
tiered
inspection
system
and
cycle,
we're
also
building
out
our
renter
first
implementation
priority
areas
and
we're
not
pausing
on
in-flight
work?
We
are
still
doing
policy.
N
An
implementation
work
on
you,
ordinances,
we're
still
doing
tra
is
to
navigator
work
is
happening
and
we're
continuing
to
build
up
our
cultural
agility
within
the
department,
so
we're
not
pausing.
At
the
same
time,
we
are
stepping
back
and
we're
talking
with
internal
and
external
stakeholders
about
what
renter
first
means
and
building
buy-in
around
that,
and
so
we're
asking
for
their
ideas.
N
My
final
proposal
today
focuses
on
shelter
needs
at
Minneapolis,
Animal,
Care
and
Control.
Day-To-Day
needs
of
the
3,500
animals
taken
in
annually
cannot
be
postponed
every
day.
Animals
in
the
shelter
must
be
fed,
cared
for
and
have
their
cages
cleaned.
This
work
requires
more
time
than
the
current
animal
care
technicians
have,
meaning
that
others
are
stepping
in
from
the
director
on
down
to
critical
roles
that
spend
substantial
time
on
this
work
are
the
surgical,
vet
tech
and
the
Volunteer
Coordinator.
N
With
the
animal
care
technician,
position
filled
and
their
time
refocused
on
their
primary
duties,
we
will
be
able
to
offer
surgeries
more
frequently
and
increase
our
engagement
efforts.
In
fact,
there
are
multiple
rippling
effects
throughout
the
shelter.
With
this
additional
position
with
more
frequent
surgery,
we
can
reduce
the
overall
amount
of
time
and
animal
spends
in
the
shelter
before
being
adopted
or
transferred
over
to
a
rescue
organization.
N
Shorter
average
days
also
will
reduce
the
shelter's
kenneling
expenses
and
since
max
subsidizes,
the
cost
of
the
surgery
and
does
not
passed
along
to
either
adopting
individuals
or
rescues.
Completing
more
surgeries
in-house
is
an
conclusion
tool.
More
frequent
surgery
also
improves
health
outcomes.
Animals
get
needed
care
more
quickly.
It
allows
Maxis
surgeons
to
handle
a
greater
number
of
complex
or
long
surgeries,
which
also
have
longer
post-op
recovery
times
and
provides
minimal
disruptions.
C
So
I'm
already
kind
of
getting
teary-eyed
a
little
bit.
I
love
the
MACC
a
whole
bunch.
I
really
support
this
item,
but
as
you're
going
through
and
talking
about
all
of
the
amazing
work
you
have
wonderful
leadership
in
the
MACC
and
I
have
now
adopted
two
dogs
from
from
this
wonderful
organization,
pancake,
who
is
now
beefcake?
C
She
is
doing
really
well
and
she
was
a
beneficiary
of
all
of
these.
All
these
wonderful
services
I
got
to
see
she
was
really
scared
of
humans,
which
is
why
she
was
pancake,
because
she
would
lay
with
all
four
paws
splayed
out
on
the
ground
and
I
got
to
see
the
amazing
folks
there
who
provided
her
wonderful
service.
C
She
was
really
really
sick
when
she
first
got
there
and
how
they
spent
so
much
time
invested
in
her
well-being
and
her
physical
and
emotional
wellness
and
she's
doing
so
well
and
she's
she's,
a
part
of
our
pack
now,
and
so
I'm
really
grateful
to
see
more
investment
in
this
particular
division
within
your
department,
because
they're
doing
really
phenomenal
work.
So
thank
you
all
Thank.
N
I
M
I
Time
we
were
able
to
fund
two.
We
brought
in
a
veterinarian.
I
think
that
was
an
incredibly
good
call.
I'm
wondering
I
hate
to
ask
this,
but
I'm
wondering
if
one
is
enough,
I
understand
that
the
people
who
are
doing
the
fieldwork
are
really
stressed,
and
maybe
next
to
children,
people
who
have
lost
dogs,
roving
animals
and
animal
related
problems,
including
all
the
calls
we
get
on
wildlife.
If
we
had
not
thought
through
whether
or
not
potentially,
we
should
also
have
another
animal
control
officer
out
in
the
field.
I
N
Counselor
:
Sano,
councilmember
Goodman
with
this,
we
feel
like
the
shelter
will
be
in
a
much
stronger
place
than
it
was
when
previous
director
came
and
asked
for
five
FTEs
and
the
next
attention
would
shift
over
to
the
field.
We
currently
have
nine
officers
covering
two
shifts
and
multiple.
You
know
overnight
calls
as
well.
Those
are
the
same
officers
doing
that
and
it
is
extremely
challenging
work
both
in
terms
of
the
physicality
of
it
and
the
emotion
of
it.
A
But
I
don't
want
to
let
that
seem
insignificant.
That's
been
a
huge
lift
over
multiple
years
and
I
really
appreciate
your
taking
the
time
to
go
through
it.
You
you
were
succinct,
but
there
was
a
lot
in
there.
Are
there
any
other
questions
or
thoughts
for
director
color
councilmember
cutting-in.
Thank.

If
you,
we
do
it
on
three
different
ways:
if
you
are
a
person
who's
experiencing
domestic
violence
and
you
need
to
get
out
of
your
home
often
the
suspects
will
utilize
animals
to
maintain
control
over
people
and
in
fact,
we've
actually
had
several
cases
where
animals
were
were
killed
in
those
situations.
So
Mac
will
will
provide
a
safe
haven
for
those
animals
to
come
free
of
charge
for
up
to
10
days.
Sometimes
it's
been
extended,
but
for
10
days
completely
free
free
of
charge.
J
We
we
provide
all
the
vet
care
for
the
animal
lies
there,
and
a
lot
of
people
know
our
standard
practice
for
us
to
every
animal
that
walks
through
our
door,
gets
all
their
immunizations
to
protect
the
herd.
Health-
often
there's
volunteers
that
work
with
us
that
will
come
in
to
special
areas
of
the
shelter.
So
the
animals
has
a
minister
civilization
that
they
need
and
care,
and
this
can
go
on.
We've
had
them
there.
J
We
had
one
there
for
30
days,
so
it
can
go
on
for
a
long
period
of
time,
but
the
animal
is
basically
put
under
our
protective
custody
and
then,
when
I
say
it
I
mean
it.
Is
these
people
come
into
our
building
sometimes
to
try
to
to
get
at
the
animal?
So
it
is
kind
of
a
dangerous
situation.
We
will
also
do
free
kindling.
If
you,
the
police,
call
us
or
EMS
or
fire
calls
us,
because
you've
had
a
medical
event
and
you've
been
rushed
to
the
hospital.
There's
no
family
to
care
for
your
pet.
J
That's
still
being
left
in
the
house.
Officers
often
go
off
out
after
hours
to
pick
those
animals
up
and
they're
also
put
in
our
protective
custody,
and
we
can't
always
for
free
as
well.
So
we
do
a
lot
for
the
community
to
try
to
help
people
who
really
need
we've
had
houses
that
have
burnt
down
where
he
kept
birds
and
all
kinds
of
weird
animals
free
of
charge,
while
they
down
placement
so
great.
C
C
Abuse
to
animals
is
usually
something
that's
connected
to
other
criminal
acts,
whether
it's
domestic
violence
or
whatever
the
case
may
be
so
I
do
believe
that
this
is
a
really
critical
component
of
not
only
the
love
and
safety
of
our
animals,
but
also
the
larger
picture
of
public
public
health
approach
to
Public
Safety.
So
thank
you
for
that.
