B
You
mr.
chair
I,
don't
wanna
pull
any,
but
I
just
want
to
make
a
real
quick
comment
on
item
number
13,
which
is
the
capital
project
closeouts
when
I
go
through
these
lists,
and
all
you
have
to
do
is
get
into
a
capital
budget
packet,
and
you
realize
all
the
sophisticated
project
planning
and
design
work
that
goes
into
some
of
our
public
works
projects.
B
But
I
just
wanted
to
note
for
my
colleagues
that
to
me
this
is
a
really
good
exhibit
or
example
as
to
how
we
need
more
time
to
do
better
budget
budget.
Estimating
some
of
the
paving
projects
on
here
have
estimated
construction
costs
that
are
up
268
percent
from
what
they
were.
Originally
you
know
scoped
at
and
I.
A
Interesting
connection
that'll
inform
our
conversations
moving
forward
and
I'll
note.
The
director
had
made
a
case
for
set
of
rearrangement
of
the
budgeting
cycle,
so
perhaps
that's
part
and
parcel
of
life,
but
that
would
be
an
ongoing
conversation,
and
so
thank
you
for
pointing
that
out
a
complement
Palmisano.
Any
further
discussion
on
the
ADA's
reform
as
consent
see
none
all
in
favor,
say:
aye
aye,
dissenting
name
those
carry
and
we
can
now
go
into
our
public
hearing,
starting
with
Crystal
Lake
residential
street
view
servicing
project
good
morning,
director
Hutchinson
good.
C
Morning,
mr.
chair
members
of
the
committee,
we
have
three
public
hearings
today,
the
first
of
which
is
the
Crystal
Lake
residential
street
resurfacing.
This
is
project
approval
and
assessment.
Information
will
be
presented
by
director
kennedy
of
Transportation
maintenance
and
repair
for
both
numbers,
1
and
numbers
to
Crystal
Lake,
as
well
as
Monroe
Street.
So
I
will
turn
it
to
my
Kennedy
now
good.
C
D
Mike
Kennedy
director
transportation,
maintenance
and
repair
for
Public
Works,
we're
here
today
for
the
public
hearing
for
the
Crystal
Lake
residential
street
resurfacing
project
On,
January
18th,
the
city
council
designated
the
location
streets
and
improvements
proposed.
We
made
in
the
entire
2019
speaker
resurfacing
program,
of
which
this
was
one
of
those
Crystal
Lake
residential
is
up
near
the
humble
rail
yards
in
North
Minneapolis
and
includes
the
streets
that's
shown
on
your
handout
and
on
the
overhead.
D
Here
this
area
was
reconstructed
or
constructed
in
1979
and
has
an
average
pavement
condition
index
of
53,
which
puts
it
right
in
the
sweet
spot
for
this
type
of
work.
The
project
has
just
over
a
million
dollars
in
proposed
special
assessments.
Those
special
assessments
were
calculated
by
using
the
uniform
assessment
rates
for
2019
of
66
cents
per
square
foot
for
non-residential
and
22
cents
per
square
foot
for
residential.
There
was
a
public
meeting
at
a
community
meeting
held
on
February,
13th
and
the
public.
You
know
the
this.
The
public
hearing
was
announced
earlier
than
that.
D
So
today,
our
recommendation
is
passage
of
a
resolution
ordering
the
work
to
proceed
in
adopting
special
assessments
in
the
amount
of
1
million,
sixty
three
thousand
six
hundred
ninety
six
dollars
and
eighty
three
cents
for
this
project
passed
in
passage
of
a
resolution
requesting
the
board
of
estimate,
taxation
to
authorize
the
city's
issuance
of
stay
and
sale
of
assessment
bonds
on
that
a
month
for
a
Crystal
Lake
project.
That's
my
presentation:
if
there
are
any
questions,
we
can
take
those
any.
A
Questions
per
the
staff
presentation,
seeing
none
I
will
then
open.
The
public
hearing
we
do
have
people
signed
in
I
will
take
them
in
turn
when
you're
called,
if
you
can
come
forward
as
to
your
name
and
address
for
the
record,
starting
with
mr.
Gary
Frederickson
mr.
Gary
Fredrickson,
not
here
at
the
moment.
Next
in
line,
we
have
bill
McCreevy,
please
come
forward
and
state
your
name
and
address
for
director.
E
Good
morning
my
name
is
William
W
McCreevy
and
my
family
owns
and
operates
Crystal,
Lake,
cemetery
and
I'm.
Here
today,
we
were
here
two
years
ago
actually
and
mentioned
to
you
at
that
time
that
this
assessment
to
us
was
very
difficult
to
do
because
of
the
fact
that
Crystal
Lake
cemetery
has
not
made
a
profit
now
for
three
consecutive
years,
we're
fortunate
that
we
have
other
properties
that
that
are
profitable,
but
Crystal.
E
It
happens
throughout
the
US,
where
these
historic
cemeteries
become
part
of
the
city.
You
see
the
the
Pioneer
Cemetery
don't
on
Lake
Street,
and
you
have
to
be
very
careful
with
this
type
of
thing,
because
it
affects
the
entire
neighborhood.
It
affects
the
entire
city
we
for
the
last
year.
I
can
tell
you
we
would
be
happy
to
open
our
financial
books
to
you
in
2016
we
lost
two
hundred
and
ninety
four
three
hundred
seventy
three
dollars
in
2017
303,
323
and
2018,
three
hundred
and
two
thousand
nine
seventy
one.
E
E
Every
cemetery
has
a
fund
that
is
mandated
that
you
put
a
percentage
of
income
away
for
it's
self-explanatory,
perpetual
care
so
that
decades
and
decades
from
now,
no
matter
what
the
fence
can
be
repaired
in
which
the
fence
continuously
has
to
be
repaired
because
of
cars
running
into
it,
in
police,
chases
and
so
forth,
and
we
have
to
repair
that
also
it's
a
situation
where
the
perpetual
care
fund
pays
for
snow
removal.
Mowing
the
lawns,
just
general
maintenance,
security,
upkeep,
there's
a
lot
of
money
that
goes
out
the
door.
E
E
E
Excuse
me
most
people,
you
know
when
they
look
at
this
is
gonna
cost
me
some
money,
I'm
just
gonna,
take
the
communit
remains
to
the
cabin
and
throw
them
at
the
cabin
you
know
or
I'm
gonna
just
put
them
in
the
backyard
and
not
have
to
pay
any
money,
and
so
we
want
to
maintain
the
property.
We
want
to
keep
it
to
be
a
beautiful
asset
of
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
but
we
need
to
be
in
a
partnership
with
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
somehow
some
way
to
move
forward
over
decades
of
time.
A
C
E
C
E
A
Anyone
else's
sign
in
no
one
else
is
signed
in
anyone
wish
to
come
forward
and
give
testimony
anyone
wish
to
come
forward
and
comment.
Seeing
none
I
will
close
the
public
hearing
for
item
1.
Is
there
any
further
discussion
from
my
colleagues
I
see,
none
I
will
note
the
comment
from
the
gentleman
mr.
A
macreedy
and
we
can
have
ongoing
conversations
with
the
appropriate
department
people
and
we
will
engage
at
that
level,
but
with
that,
I
will
move
the
item
before
us
as
submitted
writing
for
their
discussion,
seeing
none
all
in
favor,
say
aye
dissenting
name
and
that
carries.
We
can
now
continue
to
the
minor
borough
street
resurfacing
project.
D
Good
mr.
chair
Mike
Kennedy
public
works.
This
is
second
public
hearing
for
the
Monroe
Street
northeast
resurfacing
project
mine,
Rose
Street,
is
in
the
2019
street
resurfacing
plan
as
well.
Monroe
Street
is
an
MSA
Street
municipal
state
aid
street
from
Broadway
Street
northeast
to
Lowry
and
was
reconstructed
in
1962
and
1963.
The
segment
from
Broadway
Avenue
to
15th
Avenue
was
reconstructed
in
1963
and
has
a
PCI
of
73
and
the
segment
from
50
Lowery
was
reconstructing
62
and
has
a
PCI
of
58
the
resurfacing
program
estimated.
The
total
program
estimate
is
about
seven
million
dollars.
D
Our
recommendation
today
is
passage
of
a
resolution
ordering
the
work
to
proceed
in
adopting
special
assessments
in
the
amount
of
240,
four
thousand
four
hundred
seventy
five
dollars
and
twenty
five
cents
for
this
project
and
passage
for
ism
resolution
requesting
the
board
of
estimate
and
taxation
to
authorize
the
city's
issuance
and
sale
of
assessment
bonds
in
the
amount
of
244
thousand
four
hundred
seventy
five
dollars
for
this
project.
Again,
that's
my
presentation
there.
If
they're
any
questions,
we
can
take
those
any.
A
Questions
per
the
presentation
I'm
seeing
none
I
will
then
open.
The
public
hearing
for
item
number
two
when
row
Street
anyone
signed
in
no
one
signed
in
anyone
wish
to
come
forward
and
then
wish
to
come
forward
and
give
testimony
see.
None
I
will
close.
The
public
hearing.
I
will
note
for
my
colleague,
there's
been
a
fair
amount
of
conversation
with
the
different
affected
community
groups
and
nearby
neighbors,
and
a
lot
of
the
conversation
and
there's
a
letter
that
actually
speaks
to
that
from
the
neighborhood
group.
A
I
knew
this
item
forward,
noting
that
the
community
has
been
heard
and
are
engaged
on
several
different
levels.
Any
further
questions
or
conversation,
seeing
none
all
in
favor
of
item
number,
two
say:
I'm
right
to
sent
a
name.
That
item
carries
item
three
is
the
P
V
Plaza
ordinance
director
Hutchinson
mr.
C
Chair
members
of
the
committee
update
to
the
PD
Plaza
ordinance
I'll
give
a
quick
summary
background
and
introduce
Jeff
Johnson.
Two
years
ago,
the
city
set
aside
a
downtown
the
assets
fund
and
transferred
the
maintenance
of
critical
downtown
assets
to
Jeff
Johnson's
purview,
as
such
Jeff
is
here
to
present
this
information
about
the
change
of
the
ordinance
in
order
to
continue
to
operate
pp
Plaza
in
the
best
way
possible.
I'll
now
turn
it
to
Jeff.
To
give
you
some
additional
information
whirring
mr.
Johnson.
F
Good
morning,
mr.
chair
and
committee
members,
I'm
Jeff
Johnson
I'm,
the
executive
director
of
who
Minneapolis
Convention,
Center
and
also
the
chair
of
the
downtown
assets
committee,
which
oversees
the
budget
and
contracts
related
to
PV.
Plaza
I
appreciate
your
time
in
committee
this
morning.
This
is
my
first
time
in
front
of
Transportation
and
Public
Works
Committee
Public
Works
is
in
the
final
stages
of
managing
renovation
and
rehabilitation
of
PV
Plaza.
As
a
city,
there
is
great
excitement
for
a
revived
PV
Plaza
opening
later
this
summer,
in
preparation
for
the
transition
from
construction
to
operation.
F
Today,
I
am
bringing
forward
a
request
to
amend
title
17
chapter
440
of
the
Minneapolis
Code
of
Ordinances
related
to
streets
and
sidewalks
city-owned
plazas.
The
amendment
specifically
targets
section
four,
forty
point:
one:
zero
article
one
dealing
with
prohibited
conduct
without
permit
in
the
past
Public
Works
issued
permits
for
events,
but
activation
of
the
plaza
was
not
pursued
or
curated.
F
As
we
look
into
the
future,
we
would
like
to
have
the
option
to
activate
and
maintain
our
new
beautiful
space
through
an
agreement
with
a
third
party,
we're
proposing
to
change
the
current
ordinance
language
to
allow
for
this
operating
structure
at
PV
Plaza.
Only
this
change
would
allow
the
city
to
contract
the
event
permitting
function
and
maintenance
to
that
third
party.
F
The
other
additions
are
to
article
2,
which
include
the
ability
to
adopt
rules
for
PV
Plaza,
defining
allowable
assemblies,
making
sure
that
we
have
compliance
with
all
applicable
federal
state
and
local
laws,
enforcement
for
the
rules
for
Pb
plaza
and
then
also
setting
the
permit
fees
for
those
events
at
PB
Plaza.
So,
with
that,
I
appreciate
your
consideration
of
this
ordinance
change
and
we'll
conclude
my
presentation
and
stand
for
any
questions.
Any.
F
Chair
right,
councilmember,
Fletcher
Fletcher,
it
is
very
much
legal
documents
and
legal
information.
If
you
look
on
the
area,
it
basically
says
that
there
are
requirements
that
will
govern
and
those
are
the
rules
of
PV
Plaza,
which
will
then
allow
certain
types
of
assemblies
making
sure
that
they
are
in
line
with
a
First
Amendment
of
the
Constitution
also
bans
processions,
parades,
races,
military
entertainments
exhibitions,
public
meetings,
it
kind
of
gives
a
long
lineage
of
things
that
are
allowable
but
again
underneath
those
structures
of
the
First
Amendment
rights
and
making
sure
that
we
abide
by
that.
F
H
Morning,
councilmember
Ike
excuse
me
cherry
councilmember,
Fletcher
I
I'm,
not
the
person
who
drafted
this
ordinance,
but
I
can
tell
you
from
the
top
of
my
head.
I,
don't
see
a
First
Amendment
problem
with
defining
and
assembly
as
long
as
we're
still
cognizant
of
and
recognizing
the
First
Amendment,
certainly
not
looking
at
the
content
of
speech
when
issuing
permits
or
regulating
behavior
and
I,
don't
see
that
intent
written
into
this
language.
And
hopefully
there
was
a
conversation
about
that
or
an
understanding
with
a
third
party
contractor.
F
There
will
be
when
we
go
to
contract
with
a
third
party
contractor
there,
also,
because
the
state
was
involved
in
some
of
the
funding
for
the
renovation
and
rehabilitation
of
PV
Plaza.
There
are
some
different
rules
because
of
that
bonding
that
we
have
to
put
into
place,
and
so
again
without
being
a
city
attorney.
I
believe
that
that
also
has
some
of
the
restrictions
that
that
we
can
and
can't
do
on.
G
Restrict
speech
I
think
that
PB
Plaza
has
historically
been
a
place
where
rallies
and
protests
and
things
have
gathered
and,
and
we
have
a
lot
of
spaces
downtown
that
are
kind
of
public
private
and
it's
a
little
bit
questionable.
What
the
sort
of
free
speech
rights
are
in
some
of
those
spaces
and
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
this
clause
wasn't
creating
that
confusion
at
pv+
the
money
so
long
as
it's
not
unhappy
to
support
this.
Thank
you.
I
A
J
H
J
Also
noticed
that
there's
a
section
at
the
beginning
that
exempts
Peavey,
Plaza
or
people
who
want
to
use
it
from
needing
prohibited
conduct
for
needing
a
permit.
So
we
you
can
have
a
concert.
You
could
have
an
exhibition
or
commercial
venture
organized
player,
picnic
activities
without
first
obtaining
a
permit
or
we're
saying
you
need
a
permit
to
use
PD
Plaza
for
that
chair.
F
F
What
we
would
like
to
do
is
we
would
like
to
have
the
opportunity
to
bring
in
a
third
party
who
would
then
be
the
one
issuing
the
permits
with
underneath
our
rules
and
what
we
negotiate
with
them
as
far
as
based
on
the
ordinance
or
what
they
can
do,
but
that
we
would
again
have
that
extra
curation
of
events
on
PV
Plaza
through
a
third
party
and
that
they
would
be
the
ones
putting
forth
that
permit
again.
The
permit
will
be
approved
by
the
City
Council
through
the
Ways
and
Means
Committee.
J
J
I
just
think
it's
interesting
because
in
my
mind,
I
think
would
be
just
fine
if
somebody
showed
up
with
a
flute
and
wanted
to
stand
on
the
corner
and
just
play
for
a
while.
I
wouldn't
have
any
issue
with
that,
even
if
they
had
the
flute
case
open,
but
that
might
be
considered
a
concert.
I
think
if
me
and
my
buddy
wanted
to
get
some
food
on
it
from
a
food
truck
and
then
go
and
eat
it
in
the
plaza.
J
You
also
can't
do
organized
play
without
a
permit
and
we're
exempting
Peavey
Plaza,
except
that
they
will
probably
need
a
permit
from
the
operator,
so
I,
just
I,
guess
I'll
voice
that
I
I
think
I,
don't
know
how
there's
a
way
to
codify
that,
but
to
activate
a
space
actually
I
think
having
these
regular
activities
that
people
want
to
do.
There
is
exactly
what
we
would
want
to
be
happening
at
our
public
spaces,
so
I
just
worry,
sometimes
we're
making
it
gonna
make
it
a
lot
harder
for
people
to
do
things.
Mr.
C
Chair
council
member
Gardner
might
also
add
that
the
intent
of
this
ordinance
is
to
be
able
to
expand
the
activations
@pp
Plaza.
Were
it
to
were
permitted
to
remain
with
public
works.
We
would
be
limited
and
really
outside
of
the
scope
of
our
expertise
to
to
really
expand
opportunities
there,
where
this
ordinance
allows
us
to
allows
the
city
to
contract
with
a
third
provider
who's
explicitly
specializes
in
activation.
So
the
intent
is
not
to
bring
less
but
to
bring
more.
J
And
I
think
that's
great
and
I.
Hopefully
what
I
was
saying
was
indicating
that
I
also
as
a
policymaker
up
here
and
the
committee
was
supporting
that
I'd
actually
be
concerned.
If
it
looked
like
if
the
PV
Plaza
was
being
cordoned
off
for
somebody
who
got
a
permit
for
their
concert
too
often
or
for
their
special
exhibit
or
for
their
commercial
venture,
so
that's
I
think
we
want
to
keep
it
public
and
open
and
activated
and
people
can
go
in
and
out
of
it
freely
and.
B
B
J
Come
in
because
they
want
to
do
a
juggling
presentation,
the
whole
reason
for
giving
them
the
permit
to
do
that
show
performance
is
to
draw
more
people
to
come
there
with
their
take
out
food
from
the
food
trucks
and
their
hopscotching
children,
and
all
of
that
kind
of
thing.
So
I'll
look
forward
to
seeing
that
happen.
Thank.
A
You
any
further
commentary
or
questioning
seeing
none.
Thank
you.
We
do
have
a
public
hearing.
Anyone
wish
to
come
forward
on
this
matter.
Item
3,
PD,
Plaza,
ordinance.
Anyone
wish
to
come
forward.
Anyone
signed
in
no
one's
signed
in
I'll.
Therefore
close
the
public
hearing
and
move
the
item.
Do
we
have
any
further
conversation.
B
A
C
Mr.
chair
members
of
the
committee
I
am
very
pleased
to
introduce
Josh
Johnson
and
who
will
be
joined
by
Bill
Bassett,
our
friend
and
executive
director
of
nice
ride.
If
you
were
paying
attention
in
the
last
couple
days,
the
giant,
yellow
orb
that
occasionally
makes
an
appearance
in
this
state
has
been.
J
C
Nice
ride
has
approached
the
city
and
said
we
really
want
to
get
more
information
about
what
we're
going
to
be
doing
this
year
and
generate
some
excitement.
So
we
were
happy
to
schedule
this
presentation,
for
you
we'll
start
with
Josh
Johnson,
who
will
provide
an
introduction
and
then
build
us
up.
It's
also
here
to
speak
good.
K
Good
morning,
Thank
You,
director
husband
good
morning,
Terry
councilmembers
I'd,
like
to
Josh
Johnson,
advanced
mobility
manager
for
public
works,
I'd
like
to
give
a
brief
recap
of
how
we
got
here
from
a
regulatory
standpoint
with
nice
ride,
including
the
introduction
of
dhoklas
bikes
in
2018
and
then
turned
over
to
bill
to
discuss
nice
rights
perspective
from
both
2018
perspective
and
then
going
forward
into
2019.
So
in
late
summer,
early
fall
of
2017
bill
came
to
us
in
public
works.
K
We
request
to
really
start
collaborating
on
how
we
can
introduce
stockless
bikes
into
Minneapolis
and
into
nice
ride
system.
He
saw
the
van
coming
wave
starting
in
China
and
expanding
very
rapidly
into
the
United
States
and
the
potential
for
it
here
in
Minneapolis,
and
asked
us
to
work
with
him
on
how
we
can
bring
that
to
Minneapolis
in
a
way
that
aligns
with
city
goals
and
also
helps
them,
innovate
and
kind
of
prepare
for
or
potentially
pivot
towards,
the
future.
K
With
regard
to
bike
sharing
and
so
Polk
works,
along
with
her
partisans
to
the
Attorney's
Office
under
such
an
effort
in
2017
and
early
spring
of
2018,
to
scan
what
was
happening
in
the
bike
share
world.
Look
at
other
cities,
both
nationally
and
internationally,
also
looking
at
guidelines
that
have
been
put
out
through
the
National
Association
of
city
transportation,
officials
makto,
as
well
as
transportation
for
America,
to
determine
how
to
approach
this
best.
K
That
goes
with
that,
and
so
we
determined
with
the
amended
agreement.
We
also
need
to
establish
some
regulation
within
our
bike.
Bicycle
ordinance,
so
we
added
some
language
about
bike
sharing
in
the
ordinance
established
nice
ride
as
our
exclusive
vendor
for
bike
sharing
through
the
remainder
of
the
grant
funded
agreement
in
August
of
2021
and
then,
as
I
mentioned
amended,
the
grant
funded
agreement
to
provide
those
doclist
regulations.
K
We
have
a
unique
site
plan
approach
here
in
Minneapolis,
where
it's
not
what
you
would
think
of
in
traditional
dhoklas
bike
share,
where
bikes
essentially
can
be
parked
anywhere
with
certain
amount
of
regulation
associated
with
it.
We
took
a
different
approach
to
allow
for
the
ability
of
that
kind
of
bikes
anywhere
approach,
but
also
maintain
order
in
our
right-of-way
and
so
nice
ride
submits
to
us
site
plans
for
each
of
their
proposed
dhoklas
hubs.
K
We
go
through
a
right-of-way
approval
process
and
from
there
nice
ride,
installs
materials,
striping
and
signage
to
delineate
where
this
the
hubs
are
located
within
our
right
of
way
and
then
bikes
are
ridden
to
and
from
any
of
those
hubs
throughout
the
city,
and
so
with
that
I'd
like
to
turn
it
over
to
Bill.
To
give
a
little
more
information
on
the
operations
last
year,
the
introduction
of
bacchus
Bike
Share
and
then
also
what
they're
looking
at
going
forward
into
2019
and
down.
L
Thank
you
and
good
morning,
mr.
Dossett,
all
right.
Well,
thank
you,
Josh,
council,
member
and
council
members.
Thank
you
so
first,
this
is
an
update.
If
you
guys
have
questions,
stop
me
at
any
point
and
we'll
make
sure
we
get
your
questions
answered.
I've
got
about
ten
minutes
of
stuff.
I
want
to
tell
you
about
start
with
who
we
all
are
so
I
represent
the
nonprofit
nice
ride
in
Minnesota,
the
nonprofit
still
exists
and
still
has
some
really
important
roles.
We
on
the
green
bikes,
we
own
the
stations.
L
Those
are
the
things
that
work
money
we
still
own.
Okay,
we
are
your
licensee,
so
there
is
contracts
both
in
the
grant
funded
agreement
and
in
the
license
that
bind
the
nonprofit
to
meet
commitments
for
quality
reliability,
equity
order
in
the
right-of-way
I
have
a
subcontract
with
motivate
Minnesota.
You
don't
have
a
direct
agreement
with
motivated
Minnesota.
It
runs
through
me,
so
my
job
is
to
oversee
that
contract.
L
That
contract
has
a
couple
of
key
things
service
levels,
so
it
has
service
levels
that
relate
to
the
quality
of
the
bikes
redistribution,
but
also
specifically
an
equity
plan.
So
it's
a
long
contract
and
my
job
and
my
boards
job
is
to
make
sure
that
they're
living
up
to
all
of
those
commitments,
and
that
really
is
going
to
be.
You
know
the
the
model
here
for
bike
share
through
the
end
of
the
grant
funded
period,
which
is
August
of
2021.
So
that's
my
role
in
the
world
right
now.
L
My
board
sat
down
with
a
lot
of
our
stakeholders
in
December
and
said,
like
what
does
this
mean?
We've
changed
we're
not
an
operator
anymore,
and
they
concluded
that
our
mission
shouldn't
change
at
all,
because
what
we're
doing
is
the
same
thing
we
set
out
to
be
to
do
in
2010,
which
was
to
be
an
example
to
be
an
example
of
a
public-private
partnership
that
is
going
to
achieve
public
goals.
L
We're
doing
that
in
a
very
different
now,
because
we
don't
operate
it,
we
do
it
through
a
contract,
but
we
believe
that
core
idea
being
an
example,
stays
there's
another
key
goal
that
the
nonprofit
is
pursuing,
and
that
is
an
advocacy
goal,
and
so
our
advocacy
relates
to
shared
mobility
generally
and
how
the
public
sector
is
going
to
relate
to
this
new
and
growing
industry.
We
have
some
strong
views
on
that.
We
believe
that
the
public
sector
ought
to
be
bargaining
with
privately
funded
services
to
achieve
public
goals
in
exchange
for
access
to
the
right-of-way.
L
We
believe
that
joint
action
between
right-of-way
owners
is
going
to
be
an
important
part
of
that,
but
we
also
think
it's
a
really
difficult
and
new
arena
and
we're
excited
to
be
working
in
that
area
all
right.
So
first
I'd
like
to
tell
you
about
what
we
did
last
fall.
The
deliverable
from
motivate
was
1500
of
these
dhoklas
bikes
and
we
got
twelve
hundred
and
seventy
of
them
delivered.
They
were
all
delivered,
but
twelve
hundred
seventy
of
them
were
actually
put
on
the
street.
L
Those
were
put
into
the
hubs
that
were
both
in
the
city
and
on
the
University
campus
and
the
University
campus.
Those
hubs
were
all
of
their
existing
parking
bike
parking
in
the
city.
Are
they
were
the
stripe
zones
that
you've
seen
here,
I
think
first
I
just
want
to
get
to
the
city
permitted
a
ton
of
hubs
really
really
quickly
question
from
comes.
J
L
L
So
we
launched
the
dhoklas
bike
system
in
middle
of
September
very
quickly
installed
a
number
of
the
hubs,
but
the
thing
we
ran
into
was
three
weeks
of
rain,
so
we
found
out
that
you
can't
put
down
the
tape
for
the
hubs
in
the
middle
of
the
rain,
so
we
weren't
able
to
get
as
many
hubs
implemented
as
we
wanted
that
had
nothing
to
do
with
the
process.
Again,
the
city
permitted
far
more
stations
than
we
were
able
to
implement
because
of
the
rain,
a
couple
of
kind
of
key
conclusions.
L
First,
we
only
operated
for
a
month
and
a
half,
so
we
really
can't
give
you.
The
final
word
on
how
this
stockless
system
is
working.
I
do
want
to
point
out
a
couple
things
hey.
These
are
extremely
high
quality,
bikes
they're,
just
as
good
as
the
bikes
that
we've
now
been
operating
for
eight
years.
That's
a
big
change
from
what
you
saw
from
these
startup
companies
that
were
delivering
doclist
bikes
in
other
cities.
L
Secondly,
the
consumers
were
doing
what
we
wanted
them
to
do.
They
were
returning
them
either
to
the
hubs
or
setting
them
next
to
our
stations.
99%
of
trips
ended
either
in
our
hub
or
somebody
returning
one
next
to
our
station.
That
was
a
surprise
to
me.
I
didn't
expect
to
see
behavior
that
good.
We
also
did
not
have
any
problems
with
theft
or
vandalism,
so
those
were
really
kind
of
great
results
for
us.
Any
questions
about
the
blue
bike
rollout
before
I
move
on
to
this
year,
see
that
thank
you
alright.
L
So
mainly
what
I'm
here
to
talk
about
is
electric
bikes,
I'm
gonna
start
with
a
bike,
but
I'm
also
really
excited
about
the
process
here,
so
I'm
going
to
talk
about
that
a
little
bit.
So
this
is
an
electric
assist
bicycle,
so
there's
the
motor
doesn't
do
anything
unless
you
are
pedaling
and
actually
pushing
kind
of
hard,
because
is
it
sensing
the
torque
from
your
pedaling
that
causes
that
motor
to
engage?
L
Secondly,
the
motor
stops
when
you
hit
18
miles
an
hour,
so
there
is
no
assist
at
all
beyond
18
miles
an
hour,
and
the
last
thing
I'd
say
about
this
bike
is:
it
is
a
very
high-quality
bike,
so
we
are
seeing
in
cities
around
the
country
two
tears.
So
you
have
this
bike.
You
have
the
uber
bike,
which
is
jump
and
some
of
the
other
existing
manufacturers
doing
very
high-end,
expensive
bicycles
and
in
other
cities,
you're
seeing
some
very
consumer
grade,
electric
bicycles
that
are
not
lasting.
These
are
phenomenal
bikes
now
to
the
process.
L
One
of
the
things
I'm
super
excited
about
with
the
relationship
we
now
have,
both
with
motivated
Minnesota,
which
has
been
acquired
by
lift
and
with
the
city,
is
that
we
created
a
process
for
collaboration.
So
we
are
meeting
with
our
right-of-way
owners
periodically
and
we're
asking
our
vendors
to
say.
What's
in
your
product
development
pipeline,
don't
surprise
us
tell
us
what's
coming
and
they
did
that.
So
what
we
were
seeing
are
already
last
fall,
as
we
were.
L
Launching
those
blue
bikes
is
that
consumers
want
electric
bikes
and
in
cities
across
the
country
we're
seeing
that
when
they
do
put
electric
bikes
out
twelve
fifteen
trips
a
day,
far
greater
usage
than
we
were
getting
on
the
traditional
bikes,
so
motivate
a
min
and
said:
that's
what
we
want
to
do.
That's
the
direction
we're
heading
and
then,
at
the
end
of
October,
motivate
brought
to
us
a
proposal.
The
proposal
was
to
change
the
deliverable
for
2019.
That
deliverable
would
have
been
1,500
more
of
the
blue
dhoklas
bikes.
L
They
said
we
want
to
do
something
different.
We
want
to
deliver
1,800
electric
bikes
and
we
want
to
put
them
in
the
old
docks.
That's
a
big
surprise
for
me.
I
didn't
expect
that
continued
investment
in
those
docks,
it's
expensive
to
add
new
modems
and
keep
the
touch
screens
updated
on
all
of
that
stuff.
So
their
proposal
says
the
equipment
that
my
nonprofit
continues
to
own
they're
gonna
keep
upgrading
it.
So
it's
big
news
to
me
what
I
was
excited
about
is
I
could
take
that
to
my
right-of-way
owners.
L
I
could
take
it
to
my
public
Grand
Tours,
because
we
already
had
a
process
in
place.
I
could
do
public
engagement
through
our
master
planning
process
and
that's
exactly
what
we've
done
over
the
last
two
months
and
where
we
are
now
is
ready
to
deliver
this
project
with
these
ebikes.
So
I'm
going
to
tell
you
a
little
bit
more
about
how
it
would.
Specifically,
you
have
a
question
I'm.
J
L
Councilmember
Gordon
councilman
Reich.
That
is
a
great
question,
and
one
I
can't
answer
completely.
What
I
can
tell
you
is
a
huge
amount
of
investment,
isn't
going
into
docks
and
into
dhoklas
and
into
electrification
and
I
believe
the
future
is
going
to
include
all
three
so
that
we
will
have
electric
bikes
and
regular
bikes
that
are
going
to
charging
stations
which
are
dots
and
can
also
be
used
in
a
dhoklas
approach,
all
in
a
single
system,
and
it
might
look
different
in
a
downtown
or
on
a
campus
than
it
does
in
a
first
ring
suburb.
L
J
L
All
right,
so,
what,
if
next
year,
look
like
the
map
that
you're
seeing
there
is
the
same
map
that
we've
been
working
on
for
the
last
year
and
a
half
so
that
doesn't
change?
What
is
changing
is
the
fleets
that
you
will
see
so
when
we
launched
the
fleet
just
here
in
a
couple
weeks,
you
will
see
all
of
the
blue
bikes,
so
that's
1,500,
blue
Dauntless
bikes.
L
You
will
see
all
the
stations
go
back
out
and
47
stations
that
are
going
to
be
redeployed
into
Minneapolis,
so
there
will
be
more
stations
in
Minneapolis
and
they
will
have
in
those
stations,
1300,
green
bikes
and
500
of
the
new
electric
bikes
over
the
season.
Over
the
next
two
months,
we
will
evaluate
the
performance
of
those
electric
bikes.
How
do
people
like
them?
How
are
we
doing
on
swapping
the
batteries
in
them
and
everything's
going
on
plan
and
working?
L
L
I'm
going
to
talk
briefly
about
the
equity
plan,
you
will
see
a
large
launch
of
a
new
equity
plan
in
mid-may
it
is
the
nonprofit
has
been
working
in
equity
for
a
long
time.
You
know
our
orange
bike
program
in
North
Minneapolis.
This
will
be
very
different.
This
will
look
like
the
Divi
for
everyone
program
in
Chicago,
in
that
it
is
easy
for
someone
to
sign
up
online.
It
reaches
many
many
more
people
and
it
is
a
benefit
that
will
be
in
place
for
the
long
term.
L
So
I'm
not
going
to
tell
you
a
lot
more
about
that
now
about.
If
you
have
questions
about
the
equity
program,
it's
a
big
part
of
what
I'm
doing
and
what
lift
we'll
be
doing
here
this
spring
and
then
lastly,
there's
just
a
little
bit
of
the
timeline
which
I
actually
just
went
through,
so
I'll
stop
there
and
see.
If
you
have
any
more
questions
for
me,
any.
A
Questions
for
city
staff,
seeing
none
well
I.
Thank
you
for
the
presentation,
I.
Thank
you
for
the
continued
partnership.
It's
it's
great
that
we
can
build
on
a
foundation
of
a
lot
of
collaboration
in
previous
work,
because
I
think
that
helps
speed
up
not
to
just
continue
doing
the
same
things,
but
it
helps
us
and
reinforces
our
efforts
to
do
things
differently,
as
technology
emerges
and
different
needs
are
identified
by
the
consumer
of
this.
This
activity,
so
I
really
appreciate
the
work
in
partnership
and
I,
know
I.
A
I
A
Other
questions
or
comments,
seeing
none
I
will
move
the
item
before
us,
which
is
a
receive
and
finally
the
presentation
of
nice
ready
Minnesota
for
the
program
as
outlined
in
the
presentation
and
I
appreciate
all
the
word,
all
in
favor
say:
aye
aye,
Smt
name
that
carries,
and
that
concludes
our
agenda
today.
We
are
adjourned.
