Description
Minneapolis Housing Policy & Development Committee Meeting
https://lims.minneapolismn.gov/
A
Good
afternoon,
I'll
call
Kyle
to
order
our
committee
meeting.
This
is
a
committee
meeting
of
the
Housing
Policy
&
Development
Committee,
a
regularly
scheduled
meeting
on
June
12th,
2019,
I'm
council
member
cambar
and
chair
of
the
committee
I'm
joined
by
a
council
members,
Goodman
bender
and
Schrader
or
a
quorum
of
the
committee.
So
we
can
conduct
our
business
I
expect
other
council
members
will
be
arriving
soon.
Welcome
to
everyone,
there's
seven
items
on
our
agenda.
A
We
have
three
public
hearings
and
land
sales
to
consider
one
consent
item
and
the
remainder
are
discussion
items
I'm,
gonna
move
first
with
our
consent
item.
This
is
a
grant
agreement
with
the
American
Indian
Community
Development
Corporation
for
acquisition
of
1500
Elliott,
Avenue
and
I
would
like
to
amend
this
to
also
include
a
referral
to
the
Ways
and
Means
Committee,
as
is
our
common
practice
with
these
kinds
of
things.
Would
anybody
like
to
pull
that
for
discussion?
A
Seeing
none,
then
all
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye
any
opposed.
Please
say
no.
That
motion
carries
then
I
would
like
to
proceed
with
our
three
land
sales.
There's
three
land
sales
for
us
to
consider.
We
have
to
have
a
public
hearing
and
vote
on
each
separately,
but
I
think
we're
gonna
get
an
overview
report
on
all
three
of
them.
First
for
mr.
Ramadan
good.
B
B
We
did
have
a
neighborhood
recommendation
in
two
cases
that
are
different
than
our
recommendation
on
1326
Emerson.
We
had
a
recommendation
that
north
gate
development
jamia
staples.
We
warded
the
property.
However,
we
did
not
receive
a
complete
application
that
had
the
financial
information
that
was
needed
for
the
application.
In
the
case
of
28
excuse-me
26:35
excuse
me
2822
Emerson.
We
had
a
recommendation
for
ty
Han
development
and
in
that
case
we
had
an
owner-occupant.
A
person
who
had
applied,
who
would
plan
to
be
an
owner-occupant
who
rang
slightly
higher
than
ty
on
development,
did
see.
B
A
Don't
see
any
questions,
thank
you
very
much
for
the
report.
I'll
open
the
public
hearing
first
I'll,
ask
if
there's
anybody
here
to
speak
on
2625,
Colfax
and
I
know,
potentially
not
because
the
buyer
is
not
present.
Oh
I,
suppose
I
could
close
that
public
hearing
and
then
open
the
public
hearing
on
the
land
sale
at
1326,
Emerson,
Avenue
North.
Is
there
someone
here
to
speak
on
that
welcome?
Thank.
C
You
thank
you
for
chairman
and
council.
First
of
all,
I
apologize,
as
you
all
probably
saw
in
the
Monday
paper,
I've,
been
finding
fighting
this
battle
of
a
steep
hill,
trying
to
get
some
other
things
together,
so
I
neglected
in
the
financials
for
the
property
when
it
was
the
application
was
due.
However,
I
do
have
financials
as
well
as
some
of
the
other,
permitting
issues
that
I
have
run
into
with
the
other
property
to
provide
for
you
as
evidence.
C
The
process,
through
this
rehab
program,
isn't
necessarily
all
that
transparent
through
my
other
property
that
I
acquired
through
the
city
when
I
initially
purchased
that
property
I
immediately
pulled
the
permit
put
on
a
roof
and
they
ran
into
all
sorts
of
issues
in
terms
of
trying
to
get
the
other
permits.
This
is
in
relation
to
another
property
that
I've
acquired
from
the
city,
but
I
would
like
to
speak
because
I
am
going
to
live
in
this
house
just.
C
Sorry,
that's
all
right:
I'm,
sorry,
Jim,
Ed,
staples
resident
of
North
Minneapolis
15
to
numerous
in
a
block
away
from
1326
I,
currently
occupy
a
duplex
which
I
own
and
also
want
to
stay
in
the
neighborhood
where
I
live.
So
I
would
like
to
live
by
this
property
for
the
purposes
of
living
in
it.
As
I
mentioned,
I
have
my
documentation
here,
because
I
guess
the
C
pad
went
through
the
process
and
I
didn't
had
missed
it.
I
missed
the
deadline
to
bring
in
the
financials.
I
can
provide
this
for
you
as
evidence.
C
A
So
we
have
all
right:
I
appreciate
that
I'm
not
quite
sure
a
vision.
Llc
is
the
recommended
purchasers.
So
is
there
anybody
else
who
wants
to
speak
on
1326,
Emerson,
okay,
then
I'll
close,
that
public
hearing
and
I
think
I'll
open
the
public
hearing
on
28:22
Emerson
Avenue
North?
Is
there
anybody
here
to
speak
on
that
property?
A
D
Hello,
my
name
kid
parks
at
five:
it
I
live
at
27
for
nine
times,
Avenue,
North
and
I've
been
working
for
or
with
Ram
construction
for
a
few
years,
and
it's
thanks
to
Ram
that
I
heard
about
the
housing,
the
vacancy
housing
recycling
program
and
I'm,
very
thankful
and
gracious
and
sorry
I'm.
Very
thanking
gracious
to
the
opportunity.
You've.
Given
me
to
be
a
homeowner
and
that's
all.
It's.
D
A
Seeing
none
then
I
feel
inclined
to
move
the
staff
recommendation.
I
I
understand,
there's
some
confusion
about
13:26,
Emerson,
Avenue
north,
so
I'd
encourage
staff
to
maybe
check
in
with
mr.
staples
and
see
some
more
details
on
that
situation.
Maybe
I
could
just
ask
a
question
of
mr.
Ramadan
I'm.
Just
a
little
bit.
A
A
A
Don't
we
take
it
one
at
a
time
so
first
I'll
move
the
land
sale
at
26,
35,
Colfax,
Avenue
north
to
Wilson
Molina
any
questions
or
discussions,
all
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye
any
post
that
motion
carries
then
I
would
like
to
move
the
land
sale
at
1326,
Emerson
Avenue
north
forward,
without
recommendation
at
this
time,
so
that
Nam
staff
has
an
opportunity
to
work
out
the
details
and
clarify
their
final
recommendation.
Are
there
any
questions
on
that?
A
Seeing
none,
then
all
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye
any
opposed.
That
motion
carries
and
then
on
the
land
sale
at
28,
22,
Emerson,
Avenue,
North
I
would
like
to
move
approving
the
staff
recommendation
to
sell
the
property
to
KITT
prava
Seth
any
comments
or
questions
on
that,
seeing
none
all
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye
any
opposed,
say
no.
That
motion
carries
thank
you
very
much.
We
got
through
that
so
far
and
we
can
hopefully
resolve
things
by
the
council
meeting
now
we'll
move
on
to
our
discussion
items.
A
The
first
item
is
having
to
do
with
program
guideline
amendments
to
our
home
ownership
works
program
and
miss
Coleman
is
gonna
present
on
this.
It
made
some
I
think
potentially
positive
changes
to
this
fairly
popular
program
and
I
just
want
to
welcome
you
here.
I
think
this
might
be
the
first
time
you've
presented
to
the
committee.
You
know,
okay
good,
to
have
you
back.
Thank.
E
You

proposed.
Changes

pal
program

so
the

as
how
program
provides
project
gap
and
affordability
gap,
funding,
assistance
to
rehabilitate
or
construct
new
housing
for
affordable
homeownership.
The
program
which
is
primarily
funded
through
federal
home
dollars,
was
originally
approved
in
1990,
and
the
program
guidelines
were
last
updated
and
approved
by
City
Council
in
2009.
E
Completed
projects
are
sold
to
owner
occupants
at
or
below
80
percent
area.
Median
income
at
a
sales
price
not
to
exceed
95
percent
of
area
median
purchase
price
hal
program
funding
may
be
used
for
project
gap,
assistance
which
are
funds
that
help
cover
the
difference
of
the
total
development
cost
and
the
sales
price
and
affordability
gap,
assistance
which
are
funds
to
help
cover
the
difference
between
the
sales
price
and
what
a
homebuyer
can
afford
to
pay
on
their
first
mortgage
as
the
help
program
is
primarily
funded
through
federal
home
dollars.
E
E
Experience
successfully
completing
a
similar
project
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis
and
selling
to
homebuyers
at
ur,
a
below
80%
area,
median
income
within
the
last
two
years.
Current
experience
and
familiarity
with
the
use
of
public
funding
to
construct
housing,
current
experience
and
familiarity
with
Minneapolis
Civil
Rights
requirements,
small
and
underutilized
business.
Compliance
in
Section
three,
as
well
as
affirmative
action
plans,
sufficient
capacity
to

E
The
developer
cannot
be
an
owner
of
a
property
that
is
registered
vacant
building
on
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
section
249,
lists,
tax,
delinquent
property
or
property
with
significant
cold
or
rental
license
violations
unless
the
property
is
currently
in
the
process
of
being
rehabilitated
in
compliance
with
the
restoration
agreement
or
has
a
similar
solution
that
is
actually
being
implemented
when
a
project
application
is
received,
the
developer
cannot
have
a

city
of
Minneapolis
restoration
agreement
in

redevelopment
contract.
All
property
developed
through
the
help
program
is
publicly
marketed
for

E
According
to
the
local
market
update
by
Minneapolis
area
Realtors,
the
median
sales
price
of
a
single
family
home
has
increased
by
six
point.
Three
percent
and
the
average
sales
price
has
increased
by
five
point
four
percent
compared
to
the
market.
At
this
time
last
year,
staff
is
requesting
the
proposed
Hal
program
changes
to
more
closely
align
the
program
with
similar
city
of
Minneapolis
programs,
as
well
as
2040
comp,
the
2040
comprehensive
plan.
E
The
proposed
changes
will
help
the
city
address
goals
of
the
2040
comp
plan,
including
meeting
the
changing
needs
of
residents
by
producing
different
types
of
housing,
with
varying
unit
sizes
and
levels
of
affordability
throughout
Minneapolis
staff
use
the
Minneapolis
Homes
Development
Assistance
Program.
As
a
guide
for
developing
this
criteria.
E
The
recommended
changes
achieves
several
goals:
expanding
types
of
homes
that
B
can
be
created
through
file,
funding,
providing
deeper
affordability,
assistance
to
homebuyers
below
eighty
percent
area,
meeting
income,
clarifying
procedures
to
align
with
requirements
of
similar
funding
programs
and
reduced
complexity
for
consumers
and
staff
and
encouraging
the
stabilization
of
households
through
homeownership
staff
is
proposing.
The
Hal
program
goal
is
to
provide
and
sustain
affordable,
owner-occupied
one
to
four
unit
housing
for
low
and
moderate
income.
E
Households
throughout
Minneapolis
and
reduce
racial
disparities
in
home
ownership
staff
is
also
proposing
that
eligible
property
include
one
to
four
unit
housing
where
at
least
one
unit
will
be
owner
occupied
that
the
eligible
location
is
all
of
Minneapolis.
The
eligible
developer
are
able
to
apply
through
request,
no
qualification
process
that
our
governmental
entity
registered,
Minnesota,
business,
for-profit
or
nonprofit
in
good
standing,
and
that
the
property
status
of
a
project
to
be
including
the.
How
program
is
a
vacant
or
occupied
property,
with
a
focus
on
stabilization.
E
Staff
is
proposing
aligning
the
availability
of
project,
a
persistence
and
affordability
gap,
assistance,
funding
with
other
city
programs
that
would
allow
for
up
to
seventy
thousand
dollars
of
project
gap,
assistance
on
a
one
unit
project
in
a
minimum
of
one
thousand
dollars
to
thirty
seven
thousand
five
hundred
dollars
of
affordability,
gap
assistance
based
on
need.
The
ranges
proposed
is
to
allow
unused
project
gap
funds
to
be
used
for
affordability,
gap,
assistance
to
help
the
owner
occupy
purchaser.
E
What
they
said,
additional
information
could
be
used
was
rent
restrictions
for
more
than
one
unit
for
buildings
that
are
more
than
one
unit
and
methods
for
controlling
rents
in
a
two
to
four
unit
building
and
condo
buildings
for
to
allow
for
affordability.
We
also
received
additional
comments
that
reference,
the
comparison
of
for-profit
entities
and
nonprofit
entities
and
the
their
history
of
doing
work
with
city
of
Minneapolis
in
Minneapolis,
Holmes
development
assistance
and
how
what
was
the
rate
of
homebuyers
of
color
that
were
able
to
participate
in
at
what
income
do
we
have
any
questions.
F
E
It
could
go
up,
it's
definitely
a
range
because
it's
dependent
upon
the
amount
that
the
developers
are
looking
to
use.
So
we
usually
have
an
investment
at
this
time
of
around
$50,000
of
project
gap,
assistance
per
project
in
fourteen
thousand
nine
hundred.
Ninety
nine
dollars
for
affordability
gap.
With
the
option
to
be
able
to
use
unused
project
gap,
assistance
for
affordability
gap,
there
could
be
an
increase
in
production.
My.
F
E
Have
to
check
okay
I
mean
they
definitely
leverage
I
mean
that's
the
whole
process
of
constructing,
affordable
housing
is
that
they're
definitely
leveraging
other
funds
and
they're
able
to
layer
quite
a
bit,
so
I
would
have
to
double
check
to
see
if
any
other
sources
have
increased
their
amounts.
Oh
no,.
F
G
Thank
You
mr.
chair
I
have
a
question
about
the
it's
on
slide:
two.
If
you
need
to
go
back,
but
you
may
not
this
last
bullet
on
that
slide,
talks
about
the
sales
price
of
the
home
and
that
it
can't
exceed
ninety
five
percent
of
the
area
median
purchase
price.
Can
you
talk
about
that
more
in
detail
and
actually
just
help
us
understand
sort
of
the
policy
framework
that
we're
using
and
then
I
made
it
sure
Thank.
E
You,
chair
Gordon
council,
vice
council
president
bender.
The
frame
behind
that
is
that's
a
HUD
requirement
that
is
a
hot.
That's
a
home
rule
that
when
you
are
using
home
funds
into
any
project
and
you're,
using
it
for
home
ownership
to
sell
that
the
sales
price
cannot
exceed
95%
of
the
market
area
market
median
price
as
set
by
HUD.
G
Yes,
and
can
we
have
a
more
stringent
I
mean
I
guess
my
question
about
the
frame
is
I
mean
it
seems
that
the
intention
of
this
policy
is
to
limit
the
extent
to
which
someone
could
participate
in
this
program
and
then
make
a
large
profit
off
of
the
sale
of
the
home.
But
I
still
have
questions
about
our
homeownership
programs
generally
and
whether
or
not
you're
missing
an
opportunity
to
create
long-term
affordability
in
communities
that,
while
yes
have
had
lower
home
prices.
G
Historically
I
know
I
hear
from
community
that
there's
extreme
concern
and
stress
and
pressure
on
our
entire
city's
housing
market
and
a
lot
of
interest
in
very
long-term
affordability.
So
my
question
is
really
coming
from
from
that
angle
and
trying
to
understand
if,
if
this
is
a
case
where
we
could
look
at
opportunities
to
create
more
long-term
affordability,
but
I
also
understand
that
part
of
this
program's
purpose
is
to
help
create
wealth
in
communities.
So.
E
Thank
you,
council,
president
and
founder.
That's
a
great
question.
Actually
I
would
have
to
say
that
we
do
have
two
models
that
have
a
long
term:
affordability
model
that
are
currently
approved,
developers
that
do
use
this
program
and
do
provide
projects
that
have
long-term
long
term
affordability
with
them.
H
Council
member
Ben,
something
that
I
would
add,
Rexton
young
Kimball,
something
that
I
would
add
to
what
Erica
just
described.
We
are
currently
doing
a
study
with
the
grounded
solutions
network
to
look
at
opportunities
to
expand
our
capacity
for
a
long
term,
affordable
housing.
So,
as
Erica
mentioned,
Twin
Cities
Habitat
for
Humanity
and
city
of
Lakes,
Community
Land
Trust
are
to
long-term,
affordable
models
that
are
qualified
through
the
help
program.
We
are
looking
at
ways
that
we
can
expand
our
capacity
and
our
reach
with
a
long
term,
affordable
housing
when.

I
You
mr.
chair
I
just
wanted
to
get
back
to
councilmember
strangers
question
about
leverage.
My
understanding
of
this
program
is:
there
are
two
funders,
a
bank
or
a
mortgage
company,
and
us
there
isn't
anyone
else.
I
mean
essentially
what's
happening.
Is
someone
buys
a
lot
and
they
build
a
house
and
it
cost
them
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
build
the
house,
but
houses
in
that
neighborhood
are
selling
for
two
hundred
and
twenty
five
thousand
dollars.
I
So
no
one's
gonna
who's
gonna
build
a
house
for
three
hundred
thousand
if
they
can
only
sell
it
for
two
hundred
and
twenty
five,
that's
what
the
gap
covers.
So
there's
no
leverage-
this
is
all
of
us
and
the
private
sector.
I
just
want
to
clarify
that
to
suggest
that
there's
some
leverage
somewhere
there's
not,
but
that's
the
purpose
of
this
program
and
how
money
is
really
hard
to
spend
so
I
mean
I.
Think
we
think
it's
very
simplistic
just
do
this
and
do
this
and
do
this.
I
It
doesn't
work
that
way
and
the
HUDs
requirements
are
super
strict.
So
this
is
a
program
in
order
to
ensure
some
new
quality
housing
for
people
at
80
percent,
who
need
who
can
get
to
homeownership,
because
that's
about
the
level
where
people
can
own
a
home
and
have
the
ability
to
qualify
for
a
mortgage,
even
if
it
is
a
lower
amount.
So
I
normally
don't
love
these
gigantic
gaps.
But
we're
talking
about
a
little
bit
of
this
kind
of
program
here
and
we'll
work
with
the
land
bank
form
long
term
affordability.
I
I
I
think
really
the
reason
they're
bringing
this
in
front
of
us
is
they're
trying
to
accommodate
the
comp
plan
requirements
that
it's
not
just
about
single-family
anymore.
It
could
be
a
duplex
or
triplex,
which
is
great
and
at
the
same
time
they're
saying
hey.
The
reality
is
the
cost
to
build.
Things
are
going
up,
so
the
gap
probably
has
to
be
built
bigger
too.
So,
ultimately,
if
those
are
our
goals
spend
this.
How
money
try
to
get
some
affordability
for
low
income
tenants?
I
A
Those
comments,
I
did
have
one
other
question
you
mentioned
I.
Think
there
was
a
comment
about
the
racial
gap
in
home
ownership.
Do
we
know
how
much
a
difference
this
is
made
in
the
past
in
terms
of
that,
if
we
are
attracting
those
demographics,
so
the
racial
disparity
in
home
ownership?
Yes,
I
know
it's
not
maybe
that
number
one
priority
that's
listed
in
the
goals
of
the
program,
but
I
think
it
is
one
of
the
things
that
we're
working
on.
A
E
I
sure
can
so
for
for-profit
entities,
the
rate
of
sell
to
home
buyers
at
or
below
$80,000
area
$80,000,
which
is
about
80
percent
area
median
income.
Excuse
me,
people
of
color
indigenous
homebuyers
is
70
percent,
and
this
was
just
in
2018
and
for
our
nonprofits
for
the
same
to
the
average
income
was
55
thousand,
which
is
approximately
60%
area
median
time,
mayor
area,
median
income,
people
of
color
and
indigenous
homebuyers
83
percent
last
year.
Well,.
A
J
A
I
CDC
is
a
high
person,
we're
working
in
three
homes
right
now,
and
so
we
you
know,
and
so
when
you
look
at
the
leverage
it's
up
to
the
person.
That's
that's
looking
at
the
end
buyer
to
get
leverage.
We
have
four
other
pieces.
We
have.
We
have
Home
Loan
Bank.
We
have
some
tribal
investment.
We
have
some
other
investment
into
it
because
we're
building
houses
are
gonna
cost.
J
Three
hundred
and
twenty-five
thousand
dollars
built
we're
selling
them
to
people
that
are
at
60
or
50
percent
of
the
area
area,
median
income,
and
so
it's
up
to
us
as
the
to
our
target
is
how
we
leverage
those
dollars.
And
so
when
we
look
at
getting
someone
that
we're
looking
at
the
lower-income
people
into
a
brand
new
house
in
raising
their
opportunities
for
quality
of
life,
it's
up
to
us
to
find
those
other
leverages,
and
so
it's
not
just
you
and
in
the
bank.
J
There
are
lots
of
other
people
involved,
especially
seed
likely
in
trust
when
you
look
at
bringing
simulates
land
trust
and
that
helps
with
your
affordability
to
keep
your
properties
affordable,
and
so
there
are.
There
are
other
ways
to
monitor
that
and
to
in
to
safeguard
that
you
have
a
level
affordability,
they.
I
H
I
J
J
I
J
Sources
today
are
we
have
the
people
are
qualified
for
a
loan
from
a
bank.
Generally
there
we
had
a
low
income
area,
so
they're
qualified
workers
say
people
in
they're
qualified
for
160
thousand
dollar
loan.
The
house
is
gonna,
cost
$300,000
$140,000
of
the
gap
right,
there's
$50,000
that
and
you
talk
about
the
average,
the
the
houses
of
praise
and
for
a
dollar
amount
and
some
of
our
areas,
the
the
appraisals
haven't
reached
where
the
houses
are
at
today,
and
so
that
adds
to
the
value
gap
piece.
J
J
They
only
get
$160
thousand
dollar
mortgage,
so
they
have
a
hundred
thousand
dollar
gap
still
there,
and
so
those
are
where
we
have
to
as
a
nonprofit
organization
that
we
serving
a
target
market
of
lower
income,
people
we're
the
ones
that
have
to
go
after
the
dollars
to
bring
that
hundred
thousand
dollars
so
that
the
people
can
get
the
160
mortgage
and
get
a
brand-new
house,
and
so
in
that
comes
from
Federal
Home
Loan
Bank
had
a
piece
out.
We
have
some
dollars
from
mhf
a
in
regards
to
that
we
have
some
tribal
investment
dollars.
J
I
One
thing
mr.
chair
I
did
not
get
it
and
I'm
glad
mr.
cozy
was
here,
could
explain
it
as
the
mortgage
you're,
not
you're,
not
using
your
own
organization
to
build
and
finance
the
house
and
then
sell
it
to
someone
and
finance
if
they're,
a
partner
you're
using
the
actual
homeowners
leverage
or
ability
to
borrow
money
from
a
bank
and
that's
why
there's
a
big
gap
correct.
A
Thank
you,
okay,
thank
you
very
much,
I,
don't
think
I
see
any
other
questions
or
comments,
and
so
I
would
like
to
move
the
approval
of
the
program
guidelines
as
presented
and
as
recommended
all
those
in
favor.
Please
say
aye
all
right,
any
opposed,
say
no.
That
motion
carries
them.
Thank
you
very
much
for
the
presentation.
We'll
move
on
now
to
item
number
6.
A
K
Thank
You
mr.
chair
members
of
the
committee,
I'm
Andrea
Brennan,
director
of
housing
policy
and
development
for
the
city
and
I,
worked
very
closely
with
Danielle
Shelton
volchok
in
the
coordinators
office
on
this
Daniel's
not
able
to
be
here
but
Trudy
Jen
stead
from
the
coordinators
office
is
here
and
also
wanted
to.
Let
you
know
that
we
also
worked
coordinated
with
regulatory
services
in
the
City
Attorney's
office
on
this.
K
Just
briefly,
I
want
to
introduce
this
in.
In
a
broader
context,
the
city
has
established
policy
strategies
and
budget
priorities
around
renter
stability
in
the
city,
and
this
is
one
of
several
direct
investments
that
the
city
is
making
in
in
providing
direct
services
for
for
renters,
so
the
the
first,
the
this
will
be,
the
third
sort
of
direct
investment
and
it'll
be
in
addition
to
two
others.
K
That
I'll
briefly
mention
one
is
that
for
last
several
years,
the
city
has
a
contract
with
home
line
to
provide
free
legal
advice,
information
and
resources,
and
this
serves
about
3,000,
Minnesota,
Minneapolis,
rather
renters
annually.
So
any
renter
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis
can
call
home
line
and
get
information
and
referral
services
about
their
lease
and
their
rights
as
tenants.
K
Second,
in
2018,
the
city
included
one
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
in
its
2018
budget
to
provide
legal
services
for
renters
who
are
living
in
rental
housing
conditions
where
repairs
are
needed,
so
we
issued
an
RFP.
We
and
then
the
council
approved
a
contract
with
mid
Minnesota
legal
aid
to
provide
these
legal
services
for
low-income
tenants
living
in
these
sorts
of
situations
and
in
the
2019
City
Council
adopted
budget
includes
an
additional
$25,000
for
this,
so
there's
a
$175,000
in
the
budget
that
can
be
used
to
extend
this
repair
services
contract
with
legal
aid.
K
So
we
will
be
back
in
front
of
you
in
either
later
in
June
or
in
July,
requesting
an
extension
to
that
contract
and
asking
in
Minnesota
legal
aid
folks
to
be
here
and
to
present
the
results
so
far
of
the
work
that
we've
engaged
them
to
do
so
today
the
requested
action
is
to
expand
legal
representation.
Services
to
low-income
renters,
who
are
facing
evictions
in
Minneapolis.
K
Tenants
facing
evictions
in
Minneapolis
are
disproportionately
people
of
color,
and
we
research
shows
that
tenants
with
legal
representation
have
much
better
outcomes
in
housing
court
around
eviction.
Cases
than
tenants
that
are
not
represented
about
10
percent
of
tenants
facing
evictions
have
legal
representation
compared
with
about
50%,
more
than
50%
of
rental
property
owners
having
legal
representation.
K
So
the
the
scales
are
not
exactly
even
an
estimated
2700
renter
households
in
Minneapolis
face
of
eviction
without
an
attorney,
so
the
proposed
services
are
intended
to
to
expand
legal
services
for
low-income
renters,
who
are
facing
eviction
and
don't
have
legal
representation.
The
2019
budget
included
six
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
for
this,
and
it's
in
both
the
coordinators
office,
as
well
as
a
CPD
office.
K
So
you'll
see
the
one
of
the
requested
actions
is
to
move
the
budget
Authority
that's
ncpad
to
the
coordinators
office,
so
that
we
are
administering
one
contract
instead
of
two
contracts
for
the
exact
same
service,
the
we
jointly
issued
c-pen
and
coordinators
office
jointly
issued
an
RFP
for
the
service,
and
we
received
two
proposals.
However,
only
one
of
the
respondent
met
the
requirement
that
the
organization
have
a
primary
business
purpose
to
provide
legal
representation
to
low-income
clients.
K
So
we
are
recommending
that
the
city
award
a
contract
of
the
six
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
over
a
two
year
period
to
Minnesota,
mid
Minnesota
legal
aid
for
this
service,
and
they
will
be
partnering
with
the
volunteer
lawyers
network
to
expand
the
capacity
and
the
level
of
service
that
can
be
provided
to
tenants.
With
these
funds.
Legal
aid
volunteer
lawyers,
neck
Network
proposed
to
serve
three
hundred
and
twenty
low-income
renters
in
in
Minneapolis.
They
have
demonstrated
a
very
strong
track
record
in
providing
this
service.
K
A
Thank
you
very
much
and
I
believe
everybody
should
have
the
amended
language,
which
is
mostly
technical
clarifications
due
to
financial
policy,
so
that
our
motion
is
consistent
with
those
it
looks
like
this.
You
didn't
get
it.
Thank
you
very
much.
Does
anyone
have
any
questions?
Councilmember,
Goodman,
Thank.
I
I
You
know
from
where
I
said,
I
think
this
is
one
of
one
of
the
more
important
issues
of
discrimination
and
fighting
discrimination
and
housing
through
a
source
of
income,
and
you
really
went
out
of
your
way
as
an
organization
to
help
us
with
that.
I
just
wanted
to
point
that
out
in
light
of
the
news
coming
today.
So
congratulations
to
us
all.
A
A
But
still
it
was
significant,
and
this
is
definitely
a
big
need
that
we
have
and
it'll
be
good
to
hear
about
all
the
benefits
that
we
received
from
it
now
sometime
in
the
future.
When
we
can
see
the
results,
so
I
think
that's
fantastic.
Are
there
any
other
comments
or
questions
from
our
colleagues,
councilmember
bender
Thank.
G
You
mr.
chair
I
just
want
to
thank
staff
and
legal
aid
and
really
all
the
folks
in
the
community
that
are
working
on
this
issue
and
particularly
highly
how
much
the
tracking
of
data
and
outcomes
has
really
helped
make
the
case
for
this
funding.
I
think
it's
something
we
should
watch
over
time.
We
have
so
many
competing
ways
that
we
are
working
toward
supporting
housing
stability
in
our
community
and
being
able
to
track
progress.
Helps
us
I
think
make
those
investments
wisely.
A
Thank
you
very
much.
Well
then,
on
that
note,
I
will
move
the
amended
motion
having
to
do
with
them.
The
mid
Minnesota
legal
aid
contract
that
you
should
have
before
you.
This
will
authorize
to
a
basic
service
agreement
for
two-year
period,
authorize
an
extension
of
the
contract
at
the
sole
option
of
the
city
for
a
one-year
period
in
the
amount
not
to
exceed
three
hundred
and
twenty
five
thousand
and
also
passed
resolution
authorizing
the
transfer
of
the
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
from
cpad
to
the
city
coordinators
office.
A
On
that
motion,
all
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye
any
opposed,
say
no.
That
motion
carries
now
we'll
move
on
to
our
fourth
item,
which
I
think
is
additional,
exciting
news
and
we'll
let
miss
Brennan
this
one
up
as
well.
This
has
to
do
with
our
4d,
affordable
housing
incentive
program
and
we're
looking
at
the
2018
19
program
results
great.
K
Thank
You
mr.
chair
members
of
the
committee,
Tina's
gonna,
be
setting
this
presentation
up
and
I
don't
want
to
steal
his
thunder,
but
I
thought
it
was
important
to
provide
a
little
bit
of
introductory
sort
of
context
for
this
discussion.
The
city's
again
has
housing
policy
strategy
and
budget
priorities
to
preserve
the
existing
subsidy.
The
existing,
affordable
housing
that
we
have
in
the
city,
more
than
half
of
low-income
renters
in
the
city,
minneapolis
live
an
unsubsidized,
affordable
housing.
K
Reduce
or
prevent
the
loss
of
this
this
important
housing
stock
and
what
we've
learned
is
that
there
isn't
one
silver
bullet.
There's
more
of
a
you
know,
potentially
silver
buckshot.
So
the
best
strategy
is
to
employ
multiple
strategies
here
and
in
doing
this,
we
realized
that
you
know
we
need
things
like
the
one,
the
head
room,
that
was
just
approved,
such
as
direct
services
to
renters,
to
protect
and
enforce
their
rights.
K
But
we
also
learned
in
the
Noah
preservation
world
that
the-
and
this
is
partially
through
looking
at
the
data
of
what
Noah
looks
like
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
where
it's
located
its
characteristics
and
devise
strategies
around
that.
So
we,
what
we've
done
is
we've
developed
a
couple
of
different
strategies
that
target
these
Noah
properties
at
the
point-of-sale.
So
when
they're
selling,
we've
identified
a
few
programs
that
have
been
piloted
that
we've
had
some
initial
success,
quest
to
support,
nonprofit
preservation,
buyers
to
acquire
properties
and
preserve
them.
K
But
we
also
recognize
that
not
everybody
is
going
to
be
selling
their
property
and
there's
a
lot
of
smaller
owner
operators
of
rental
housing
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis.
That,
and
we,
and
before
this
program,
we
really
weren't
engaging
with
a
lot
of
those
owners
outside
of
the
regulatory
function
of
the
rental
licensing
that
we
do
so
we
so
this
program
is
really
I
mean
it
truly
was
a
pilot.
We
did
not
know
what
kind
of
response
we
would
get
from
this
and
Dean
is
gonna
present.
K
Those
results,
I
I
just
wanted
to
say
a
couple
of
things.
One
is
that
Dean
Porter
Nelson,
who
were
so
lucky
to
have
here
if
it
weren't
for
his
sitting
down
and
talking
on
the
phone
and
meeting
one-on-one
and
doing
extensive
one-on-one
engagement
with
individual
property
owners.
Here
we
would
definitely
not
have
the
results
that
we
have,
and
and
and
also
the
overall
sort
of
universe
of
Manoa
property
in
the
city
is
something
less
than
15,000
units
and
between
the
4d
work
and
the
note
preservation
work
working
with
nonprofits.
K
We
hope
to
impact
about
a
thousand
of
those
units
by
the
end
of
the
year,
so
that
is
not
an
insignificant
percentage
of
having
an
impact
in
NOAA
and
it's
certainly
a
higher
percentage
than
any
of
our
peer
cities
are
having
around
the
country.
So
with
that
I'll,
let
do
you
know
presented
results
thanks.
L
So
much
Andrea
I
do
I.
Do
really
think
that
some
of
your
comments
about
looking
at
data
looking
at
different
strategies
that
we
can
take
to
address
the
challenge
of
NOAA
preservation
that
is
really
at
the
root
of
this
program.
The
route
of
this
pilot
there
well
so
highlight
that
this
is
a
different
strategy
than
nearly
any
other
city
has
taken
to
preserve.
L
No,
and
so
we
should
really
note
that
this
is
in
some
ways
a
really
exciting
thing
for
us
to
be
able
to
do
here
in
Minneapolis,
so
to
kind
of
get
into
the
presentation.
My
name
is
Dean,
Porter
and
Nelson
once
again,
and
thank
you
mr.
chair
Gordon
and
members
of
the
committee
for
having
me
here
to
present
these
results
today,
I'll
be
talking
about
the
40,
affordable
housing
incentive
program
and
the
results
from
2018
and
2019.
L
L
So,
just
to
kind
of
give
a
little
bit
more
overview
of
the
program
as
andrea
has
highlighted.
This
is
a
Noah
preservation
strategy
working
with
existing
owners
and
in
addition
to
that,
I
wanted
to
know
that
this
is
a
strategy
that
I
worked
on,
but
was
also
really
important
in
terms
of
collaboration
between
different
departments
in
the
city,
and
so
this
involved
work
from
the
assessor's
office
they'll
be
doing
work
right
now
on
the
back
end
as
we're
working
to
certify
these
new
properties
that
are
gonna
have
a
different
tax
status.
L
Regulatory
services
take
quite
a
bit
of
work
with
me
on
evaluating
applicants
to
the
program
and
then,
in
addition
to
that,
the
Health
Department
was
quite
instrumental
in
working,
of
course,
on
the
energy
efficiency
and
solar
energy
programs.
So
we've
got
in
mind
really
a
exciting
opportunity
for
NYCHA
Steve
had
to
do
a
program
bike
for
multiple
departments
to
engage
together
around
the
goal
of
preserving
NOLA
housing,
so
just
to
kind
of
go
over
the
program
requirements.
We
did
initially
approve
a
for
the
pilot
in
May
of
2018.
L
First
off
required
the
owners
of
property
to
have
a
ten-year
affordability
declaration
on
their
property,
which
is
focused
on
preserving
housing
at
60
percent
of
area
median
income
and
reserving
any
new
vacancies
for
tenants
that
are
under
that
income
cap,
those
60%
of
ami.
In
addition
to
that,
we
have
some
eligibility
guidelines
to
focus
on
housing,
quality
tier
one
or
two
rental,
housing
and
housing
that
does
not
have
outstanding
housing
orders.
There
are
some
benefits
for
property
owners
for
signing
this
declaration.
L
That
includes
ten
year,
eligibility
for
the
state
of
Minnesota's,
low
income,
rental
classification,
which
has
in
the
past,
been
typically
used
by
subsidized
housing,
so
low
income,
housing,
tax
credits
and
and
other
types
of
subsidized
housing
abuse
that.
But
this
really
does
help
NOAA
owners
to
utilize
that
IRC
status,
and
then
there
is
some
additional
assistance
with
administrative
costs
and
funding
for
energy
efficiency
and
solar
energy
projects
on
those
40
properties.
L
We
are
going
to
be
working
with
these
owners
on
compliance
by
collecting
tenÃan
incomes
and
rents
for
next
10
years
and
then,
in
addition
to
that,
owners
will
need
to
ensure
that
they're
filling
out
the
appropriate
administrative
paperwork
with
Minnesota
Housing
to
maintain
that
tax
status
so
I.
Now
that
we've
had
an
overview
of
forty
getting
into
the
exciting
results
from
2018
and
2019.
L
So
one
of
the
I
think
I
think
the
highlight
here
is
that
when
we
look
at
the
the
number
of
NOAA
units
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
Andrea
mentioned
15,000
units,
and
then
we
look
at
the
number
of
units
we've
so
far
been
able
to
preserve
with
four-d
and
to
also
reserve
for
low
to
moderate
income.
Families,
that's
770
units,
and
that
is
a
that's
an
exciting
number.
That's
a
big
number
and
I
think
it's
reflective
of
the
opportunity
to
work
with
existing
orders
who
aren't
selling
their
property.
L
We
really
do
have
the
chance
to
impact
a
lot
of
units
at
once,
and
so
770
units
includes
both
the
209
units
and
the
2018
pilot
and
an
additional
561
units
in
expanded
2019
program.
It's
also
exciting
to
see
that
there
are
quite
a
few
larger
units
over
200
units
with
two
or
more
bedrooms
in
59
units
with
at
least
three
bedrooms.
So
that's
you
know
units
that
are
large
enough
for
a
family
to
occupy
and
are
being
preserved
and
also
made
available
to
low
to
moderate
income
families
through
this
program.
L
Looking
at
the
location
of
units,
geographically
I
did
a
couple
of
breakdowns,
so
we
did
one
by
Ward
and
then
one
by
by
neighborhood
as
well,
and
so
it's
we
had
at
least
one
property
in
each
city,
council,
ward,
some
words
to
have
more
units
than
others
I,
just
based
on
who
applied
for
the
program
wards.
Four
five
and
ten
did
have
to
have
highest
unit
totals
at
least
to
date.
L
Look
at
this
neighborhood
breakdown.
We
can
see
once
again
that
there
is
very
considerable
geographic
distribution
of
these
affordable
units.
Specifically,
there
are
30
neighborhoods,
which
is
46%
of
all
neighborhoods
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
with
at
least
one
property
in
the
four
D
program,
and
in
addition
to
that,
it's
I
would
note
that
we
had
two
to
four
units
to
the
floor.
Unit
properties
were
eligible
for
the
program
this
year
in
2019
in
the
past
and
2018.
L
So
some
interesting
data
that
we
only
learned
because
of
this
program
is
really
about
the
median
rents
of
some
of
these.
These
normal
properties
that
participated
in
the
program
I
have
the
median
rent
by
bedroom
sized
here
on
the
slide,
you
can
note
that,
for
example,
a
studio
apartment
is
750
dollars
a
month
for
the
the
median
studio
in
the
program.
That's
24%
below
our
max
and
I.
One
you
know
to
bedroom
is
9:50,
that's
25%
below
that
maximum
and
so
really
across
the
board.
L
These
units
are
more
affordable
than
our
maximum
levels,
and
so
another
provision
of
the
program
is
that
tenants
who
are
living
in
these
units
are
protected
by
a
6%
cap
on
rent
increases
that
they
might
experience
while
they're
living
there.
That
cap
applies,
for
you
know
the
time
that
a
tenant
is
living
in
a
unit
and
ensures
that
they
don't
see
a
large
increase
all
at
once.
L
So
kind
of
what
what
I've
been
talking
about
so
far,
our
statistics
on
the
applications
that
we
actually
approved
and
enrolled
in
the
program
and
the
applications
were
submitted
to
the
state
of
Minnesota
for
the
low
income
rental
classification,
but
I
also
did
want
to
touch
on
what
we
actually
initially
received
from
owners.
We
we
did
receive
even
more
applications
in
2019
and
2019
than
we
were
able
to
actually
get
to
the
finish
line.
I
mentioned
earlier.
There
are
561
units
that
we
enrolled
in
2019
alone.
L
Out
of
that,
770
total
and
I
wanted
to
highlight
that
we
had
nine
hundred
and
ninety
six
units
initially
come
in.
When
we
closed
the
application
process
in
February,
we
were
able
to
ultimately
enroll
56%
of
those
units
in
the
program
for
ten
years,
and
then
41%
did
did
not
enroll
I
talked
with
a
number
of
those
owners.
Some
said
that
they
weren't
ready
quite
yet
to
enroll
their
units,
but
they
enjoyed
learning
more
about
the
program.
L
Some
of
them
thought
that
they
might
consider
applying
next
year,
and
so
this
kind
of
highlights
some
of
that
additional
pipeline
that
we
might
have
for
future
years
and
some
additional
interest
once
folks
learn
a
little
bit
more
about
the
program.
It's
been
a
long
around
for
at
least
a
little
bit
more
time
and
I
also
did
want
to
highlight
that
the
vast
majority
of
the
applications
that
we
received
did
meet
those
minimum
tier
1
or
tier
2
rental
status
requirements.
L
L
L
But
I
also
wanted
to
note
that
we
had
quite
a
few
smaller
owners
in
2019
than
we
did
in
2018,
so
we
had
in
total,
we've
had
51
unique
property
owners,
43
of
those
are
in
2019
average
owner
on
13
units,
so
not
particularly
large
portfolios
or
large
operators,
and
across
the
two
years
we've
had
129
buildings,
total
and
112.
Those
were
in
2019
average
size
of
only
five
units.
Seventy
four
were
two
to
four
unit
properties,
so
those
duplexes
triplexes
and
four
flexes
across
Minneapolis.
L
L
So,
finally,
getting
into
some
of
these
energy
efficiency
and
solar
impacts
of
the
program,
which
are
quite
significant,
as
well
as
a
result
of
having
a
high
volume
of
owners
participating
in
this
program
in
a
lot
of
buildings,
we
are
also
able
to
have
a
significant
pipeline
of
energy
efficiency
and
solar
projects.
So
in
2018
for
the
pilot,
we
had
three
projects
for
energy
efficiency
and
in
total,
that
was
a
city
cost
share
of
about
sixty
six
thousand
dollars
and
then
in
2019
we
had
13
projects
that
have
been
proposed
to
date.
L
All
these
are
projects
that
have
submitted
an
application
of
the
city
for
cost
share.
Funding
to
that
the
Health,
Department
and
Health
Department
has
approved
those
applications,
but
those
projects
are
still
in
progress.
Owners
are
still
kind
of
working
to
to
get
them
died,
but
the
funding
has
been
approved,
and
so
in
total,
we're
looking
I
to
21
in
2019
66
in
2018,
in
terms
of
thousands
of
dollars
of
City
cost
share
and
tested.
I
think.
F
L
M
Hi,
my
name
is
Patrick
Hanlon
and
the
director
of
environmental
programs
chair
Gordon
councilmembers,
so
the
221
thousand
dollars
is
combined
when
it
says
cost
you're
up
there.
It's
actually
combined
with
utility
the
utility
rebates
that
they
provide
and
the
cost
year,
and
so
that
that's
the
maximum
amount
of
dollars
that
would
be
put
into
these
projects
and
then,
as
we
go
through
and
figure
out
how
much
energy
savings
each
of
these
projects
can
get,
they
can
qualify
for
a
larger
and
larger
larger
percentage
of
the
rebates
from
the
utilities.
M
M
In
the
entire
city
went
forward
and
did
energy
efficiency
projects,
the
motivation
of
building
owners
to
take
advantage
of
energy
efficiency
projects,
because
a
lot
of
those
costs
are
passed
on
to
their
tenants.
Those
those
investments
don't
tend
to
take
place
so
to
get
this
kind
of
traction.
Just
with
this
program
is
really
amazing:
to
get
building
owners
to
move
forward
with
energy
efficiency
that
will
benefit
the
tenants
that
are
in
those
buildings
who
are
already
going
to
have
10
years
of
affordability
in
their
buildings.
Great.
L
This
up
close.
This
is
a
graphic
that
really
helps
us
understand.
The
impact
on
energy
use
of
these
investments
in
4d
cost
share,
so
in
total,
were
estimating
that
there
will
be
annual
savings
of
2.4
billion
BTUs
per
year
about
$33,000
saved
on
energy
energy
bills
per
year.
In
these
buildings
and
three
hundred
fifty
five
thousand
pounds
of
fewer
co2
emissions,
so
kind
of
equivalent
to
that
would
be
offsetting
the
energy
use
of
25
single-family
homes
for
a
year
and
then
setting
46
us
cars,
gas
use
for
a
year.
L
A
G
You
mr.
chair,
I'm,
really
excited
about
this
program
and
especially
excited
that
we're
able
to
bring
it
down
to
such
small
building
size
I
think
it's
one
of
the
most
exciting
ways
that
we're
working
to
preserve
affordability
and
some
of
the
most
rapidly
in
this
neighborhoods
were
housing.
Costs
are
increasing
the
most
rapidly
and
displacement
is
happening.
The
most
quickly
I
wondered
when
you
look
at
the
map,
in
particular,
of
the
neighborhoods
that
have
participated
in
the
program.
G
I
was
just
curious
if
there's
any
explanation
to
the
pattern
or
if
there
are
things
that
particular
neighborhoods
are
doing
to
get
out.
The
word
that
others
could
learn
from
I'm
struck
by
the
fact,
for
example,
that
Whittier
and
lower
Hill
East
are
so
different
in
terms
of
enrollment
when
the
neighborhoods
are
very
similar
in
a
lot
of
other
ways.
Both
are
90
percent
renter
by
population
and
both
are
facing
increasing
housing
costs
so,
and
you
talked
a
little
bit
about
the
barriers
or
the
reasons
people
weren't
following
through,
but
I
wondered.
L
Yeah,
thank
you,
Council
President,
Ben
gray.
That's
an
excellent
point,
I
think
just
in
the
past,
for
you
know
the
short
time
that
we've
had
this
program
in
existence.
The
units
that
we
have
enrolled
in
the
program
really
are
just
reflective
of
owners
that
feel
confident
enough
to
sign
up
for
the
program
at
this
time
and
like
I
had
mentioned
earlier,
a
number
of
owners
had
reached
out
but
ultimately
decided
not
to
participate
in
the
program,
and
you
know
that
would
have
included
buildings
in
even
number
of
neighborhoods.
L
Some
you
mentioned
Larry
East,
for
example,
I
can't
specifically
recall
a
building
in
that
neighborhood.
But
you
know
there
are
a
number
of
neighborhoods
here
that
may
have
only
a
few
units
or
no
units
at
all
that
we
could
potentially
see
having
units
in
the
future.
So
I
think
a
couple
of
things
that
neighborhood
organizations
and
different
council
offices
can
support
would
be
sharing,
of
course,
the
web
link
for
this
program.
We
have
a
simple
web
app
address
of
Minneapolis
MN
gov
/for
D.
L
So
that's
a
pretty
easy
to
remember
website
so
sharing
out
with
different
neighborhood
organizations
sharing
that
with
constituents.
We
did
have
some
note
cards
that
we
sent
out
via
mail
to
every
property
owner
last
year
and
that
helped
us
get
a
lot
of
leads.
Not
necessarily
all
those
leads
converted
it's
possible.
L
You
know,
as
one
person
I
talked
to
every
single
person
that
reaches
out
to
me,
I
get
back
to
them
as
soon
as
I
can,
but
the
more
that
we
can
help
to
communicate
some
of
those
details
and
what
it
means
and
help
people
you
know
specifically
help
landlords
or
owners
feel
less
scared
about
some
of
those
requirements.
Then
I
think
that
will
help
us
to
have
affordable
units
in
this
program
in
even
more
neighborhoods
next
gen.
I
You
I
just
want
to
thank
you
so
much
as
the
main
author
of
the
pilot
and
then
the
person
moving
this
forward.
I
had
no
idea
that
it
would
have
this
level
of
impact
and
the
reason
it
had
this
level
of
impact
is
because
it
had
one
person
completely
passionate
and
hard-working
to
help
make
it
happen
and
I
think
it's
a
testament
to
you
and
the
work
that
you've
done,
that
you've
been
able
to
convert
so
many
of
the
inquiries
into
actual
program
participants.
I
It's
clear
when
you
look
at
this
map
that
we
could
do
a
little
bit
better,
but
I
do
want
to
point
out.
I'll
use
my
word
as
an
example.
The
two
neighborhoods
that
have
the
highest
levels
of
rental
also
are
participating
but
and
then
I
look
at
the
wedge-like
council.
President
bender
does
and
wonder
what
the
heck
happened.
So
there's
probably
more
outreach
that
we
can
do.
The
only
thing
I
want
to
point
out,
and
maybe
it
just
comes
from
a
place
of
being
a
little
bit.
I
Sad
is
that
you
know
all
of
us
on
this
panel
sat
through
a
cpad
results
process
that
made
it
look
like
our
staff
did
nothing
for
an
entire
year
when,
in
fact,
there's
all
of
these
incredible
programs,
one
at
a
time
with
a
whole
number
of
staff
people
working
on
them
that
have
seen
incredible
success.
We
can't
only
measure
our
success
in
housing
by
units
built,
there's
a
whole
nother
layer
of
things
we're
doing.
Single-Family
renters
rights
represent
a
legal
representation
for
renters.
I
There's
like
a
whole
series
of
things
that
we
are
doing
and
I
mean
I
understand
when
I
asked
why
this
information
wasn't
presented,
it
was
I,
was
told
it
was
because
they
had
to
do
it
in
a
certain
format,
but
it
could
have
been
a
whole
different
story
if
this
was
presented
as
part
of
results,
because,
first
of
all,
it's
more
current
than
anything
else.
That's
happened
and
two
it's
a
success
story,
and
so
I
would
urge
us
prior
to
jumping
into
nothing's
happening,
because
supposedly
only
48
units
were
built
in
one
year.
I
Well
we're
only
a
partner
and
building
those.
This
is
something
that
we,
our
staff,
were
responsible
for
and
they
did
and
700
the
Samad
units
means
a
thousand
plus
people
have
been
affected.
That
means
we,
essentially
you
know
without
being
hysterical
saved.
These
folks
from
big
rent
increases,
that's
more
people
than
would
be
impacted
by
the
entire,
affordable
housing
trust
fund
for
a
year.
I
So
it's
a
huge
deal
and-
and
you
deserve
a
lot
of
kudos-
and
you
came
on
to
this
housing
stability
position
and
really
took
it
on
really
proud
of
the
work
that
you've
done.
You've
made
the
city
look
good,
so
thank
you
to
our
housing
team
and
see
pet
staff,
but
Dean
to
you
in
particular.
Congratulations.
This
is
incredible.
Work.
A
L
Question
so
we
have
established
an
annual
application
process
for
this,
and
that
is
in
many
ways
related
to
the
state
of
Minnesota
is
blowing
them
rental
classification
deadline
that
they
have
each
year.
We
essentially
need
to
get
all
of
our
applications
together
before,
and
you
know
all
those
declarations
need
to
be
filed
and
in
place
before
a
property
becomes
eligible,
so
the
way
that
we
do,
that
is
through
an
annual
application
process.
L
Last
year
we
opened
it
in
November
this
year,
I'm
shooting
for
a
little
earlier,
probably
gonna,
be
October
just
because
that
will
enable
us
to
probably
close
it
a
little
earlier
and
then
have
more
time
to
ensure
we
have
all
the
paperwork
completed,
so
so
probably
gonna
be
October
to
January.
I
would
imagine
well,
let's.
A
Plan
that
out
carefully
and
let's
coordinate
it
with
council
offices
and
communication
efforts,
because
I
think
that
did
I
think
we
did
a
pretty
good
job
last
time
of
pushing
it
out
there.
But
we
can
probably
do
more
and
gotten
help
so
keep
us
informed
about
that
and
and
and
help
us
get
the
tools
we
need
to
communicate
with
our
residents
or
neighborhood
groups.
And,
however,
we
do
that
especially
some
of
these
wards
that
don't
have
this
great
participation
as
some
of
the
others.
G
L
L
What
is
the
rent
in
those
units
and
did
you
have
a
new
movement
if
they
had
a
new
move
in
then
they
have
to
list
the
income
if
they
did
not
have
a
new
move
in
then
we're
looking
at
whether
they're
right
on
that
existing
tenant
stayed
within
six
percent
of.
Was
it
what
it
was
last
year
as
we
are
keeping
track
of
that
through
the
reporting
process
annually?
Thank.
G
G
You
think
I
mean
I
assume
over
time.
I
mean
a
number
in
year,
one
or
two
for
most
of
these
properties.
That
will
be
in
communication
with
the
property
owners
that
we
might
have
some
hope
of
being
able
to
extend
past
that
initial
time
frame.
Or
do
we
anticipate
that
we
would
just
be
turning
them
back
to
market
RINs.
L
K
Mr.
chair
council,
president
vender,
we
one
of
the
things
that
we're
really
excited
about
what
this
program
is
as
we,
we
haven't,
really
had
relationship
with
with
smaller
rental
property
owner
operators
previously,
and
so
we
see
this
as
an
opportunity
to
do
all
you
know
to
partner
in
many
different
ways
so
partner
on
on
you
know
things
like
the
you
know,
the
section
eight
landlord
incentive
fund,
for
example
our
partner
on,
if
there
are
other
opportunities
for
a
Noah
preservation
like
we
can
reach
out
to
this
group.
K
Now
now
we
have
a
trusted
relationship
or
continued.
You
know
programs
and
energy
efficiency
or
healthy
homes,
or
that
type
of
things.
So
that's
one
of
the
things
that
we're
most
excited
about
is
just
really
establishing
that
contact
and
positive
relationship
that
we
hope
will
continue
to
mean
preservation,
I,
think.
G
That's
really
exciting
and,
as
we
learn
more
I
think
through
these
relationships,
I
think
we
might
learn
other
ideas
that
we
could
use
to
invest
in
our
small
local
property
owners,
which
you
know
in
particular
my
ward
I
know.
My
neighborhood
organizations
aren't
really
interested
in
helping
develop
and
build
those
relationships
to,
and
so
many
of
the
policies
that
were
working
on
have
to
do
with
what
property
owners
are
doing
with
their
property.
The
notification
of
building
sale,
a
potential
for
strata
for
fuel,
ordinance
or
incentive
programs,
and
so
I
think
I.
G
A
It
sounds
good,
I,
don't
see
any
other
questions.
Thank
you
so
much
for
the
all
the
work
on
this
and
the
great
success
of
it.
So
far
we
have
770
down
and
and
some
14,000
100
to
go.
So
thank
you
so
much.
The
only
motion
we
need
to
take
on
this
is
to
receive
and
file
this
report,
so
I
will
move
that
all
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye
aye,
any
opposed,
say
no
I.
Think
you
for
a
very
interesting
meeting
and
lots
of
great
news.
This
meeting
is
adjourned.
