Description
Minneapolis Intergovernmental Relations Committee Meeting
https://lims.minneapolismn.gov
A
Everyone
I'm
gonna,
call
to
order
this
regularly
scheduled
meeting
of
the
intergovernmental
relations
committee,
the
committee's
chair
council,
member
Johnson
and
I'm
joined
today
by
a
quorum
of
committee,
members,
councilmember
Schrader,
vice
president
Jenkins
and
president
bender,
and
on
our
agenda.
Today
we
have
two
discussion
items.
The
first
is
our
2020
legislative
agenda
and
policy
positions,
so
I
will
invite
mr.
Ranieri
up
to
present
mr.
B
Chairman,
thank
you
very
much.
I'm
gene
Ranieri
director
government
relations
for
the
city
with
me
is
Fatima
Moore
and
Lauren
Olson,
and
they
will
participate
in
any
questions
and
in
part
of
the
part
of
the
presentation,
my
session.
What
we'd
like
to
do
today
is
we
did
send
and
I
think
it's
on
your
computers,
a
detail,
markup
of
the
legislative
agenda,
we're
not
going
to
go
through
that.
B
We
did
prepare
a
very
brief
side
by
Sahab
I,
sit
by
eight
or
nine
slides,
explaining
what's
in
the
report
and
then
try
to
meet
with
you
individually
or
your
staff
to
go
over
if
there
any
changes
or
any
questions
you
have,
and
hopefully
at
the
next
meeting,
approve
the
whole
legislative
agenda
and
policies.
But
we
need
to
remain
up
remind
ourselves
that
this
is
an
organic
document
and
it
can
be
amended
at
any
one
of
the
meetings
before
a
session
or
even
during
the
legislative
session.
A
B
What
do
I
need
look
just
a
little
bit
of
overview.
We
have
changes,
it
proposal
avoid
annually
and
how
we
do
this
is
we
have
Department
stay
F,
City,
Council
and
their
staff.
You
yourselves
all
suggest
ideas
for
legislative
policies
and
changes,
and
we
have
a
formal
team
called
the
Legislative
liason
team
or
the
policy
of
is
on
team
that
consists
of
people
from
every
city
department.
They
work
on
proposals,
we
have
a
whole
form
process,
we
go
through
an
evaluation
process
and
then
some
of
those
we
sit
down
with
the
chair.
B
Some
of
those
proposals
are
weighted,
who
may
not
be
ready
for
primetime,
while
others
come
forward
for
a
discussion
at
our
last
meeting.
It's
about
ten
proposals
that
were
presented
by
city
departments
and
they're
in
this
document
today,
and
there
are
a
few
extra
ones
we'd
like
to
go
over
with
you.
Some.
B
Of
the
new
policies
and
I
think
it's
on
Pokeno
and
page
six
is
the
top
of
the
big
document.
Is
the
Metropolitan
Council?
Excuse
me:
I
have
to
go
back
shift
over
capital.
Investment
in
there
is
the
twenty
million
dollars
from
language
for
the
upper
harbour
terminal
is
our
first
priority
number
two.
We
have.
We
show
as
a
change,
it's
the
1.5
million
dollars
for
the
Wellness
Center,
but
that
was
approved
last
week.
B
Our
last
cycle
and
one
of
the
things
we're
going
to
be
adding
that's
you
know,
is
a
recognition
of
a
state
funding
for
the
BRT
of
a
50
million
dollar
requests
for
the
D
line
and
another
line
that
we
would
like
this
to
be
done
in
2020,
and
it's
really
important
for
transportation.
Here
we
do
have
some
language
and
the
big
document
we're
proposing
to
make
a
little
bit
more
explicit
on
the
D
line
and
15
million
dollars
for
the
PRT.
B
We
also
are
going
to
add
more
explicit
language
as
supporting
the
two
hundred
and
forty
million
I
think
it's
two
hundred
and
forty
million
dollars
for
housing,
infrastructure
bonds,
one
hundred
and
eighty
million
for
housing
infrastructure
and
sixty
million
in
general
obligation,
bonds
and
that's
something
that
I
know
it's
a
big
need
in
our
state
and
I
know
that's
coming
from
many
of
the
housing
advocates
and
we
like
to
put
that
in
the
next
draft.
C
B
Mr.
chairman,
vice
president
Jenkins
I,
don't
think
so
because
I
think
there's
strong
support
and
some
legislative
corners,
particularly
in
the
house
of
metro
cities,
I
mean
you
all,
we're
all
supportive
we've
seen
it's
been
successful,
the
a
line,
the
C
line,
hopefully
the
D
line
and
I-
do
know
that
there's
been
a
lot
of
support
for
transit.
We
will
have
some
difficulties,
no
doubt
during
the
bonding
process,
because
there's
like
five
million
requests
and
maybe
only
a
billion
plus
budget,
but
the
Metro
Council
has
not
received
any
funding
for
the
last
couple
years.
B
C
B
Another
thing
is
beginning
on
page:
eight
are
some
new
policies
and
one
would
be
local
government.
What
we're
suggesting
there
is
that
remember.
Last
week
when
I
packed
Patrick
Todd
spoke,
he
talked
about
the
equalization
issue.
We're
going
to
yeah
suggest
that
as
a
policy
and
we're
closely
with
the
Department
of
Revenue
under
capital
investment.
B
This
came
from
the
NCR
NCR
department
and
working
closely
with
the
disabilities
committee
or
Commission
they're
recommending
and
supporting
that
we
support
efforts
by
the
state
to
fund
and
so
fun
and
improve
their
accessibility
to
some
of
their
policies
into
some
of
their
facilities.
For
example,
oh
I'm,
sorry.
B
Like
for
state
parks
except
they're,
not
always
accessible
to
people
who
have
disabilities,
but
we
have
to
get
some
credit
to
the
state
Minnesota
Department
of
Natural
Resources
a
couple
of
years
ago.
They
received
some
planning
money
to
try
and
redo
the
William
O'brien
State
Park,
to
make
it
more
accessible,
the
entire
park
accessible
to
people
who
are
with
disabilities,
and
they
have
that
as
a
bonding
project
this
year-
and
this
came
from
our
disabilities
Council
to
NCR
ties.
B
We
also
talked
about
this
last
week
was
the
contract
contractor
at
risk.
This
would
allow
the
city
or
any
city
to
enter
into
an
agreement
where
a
contractor,
when
a
on
a
capital
project
would
basically
sign
office
and
guarantee
at
the
fixed
price,
and
they
can
come
in
over.
They
need
to
adjust
for
that,
and
we
did
that
in
the
Target,
Center
and
I
think
it
was
done
also
on
the
US
Bank,
Stadium
and
I.
Think
several
of
the
state
projects
were
also
contract
or
a
risk
on
Elections.
B
We
again
last
week
a
thank
you
to
summarize
modifications
to
early
voting.
Basically,
we
have
a
sort
of
modified
early
voting
process.
What's
being
recommended
here
is
going
to
early
voting
where
you
people
can
come
in
vote,
you
don't
go
into
envelopes.
Things
of
that
nature,
so
it'd
be
a
true
early
voting.
This
is
also
being
supported
by
the
League
of
Cities
and
metro
cities.
The
other
issue
is
that
I
know
that
city
clerk's
office
is
concerned.
B
There
could
be
several
definitions
next
year
to
amend
our
charter
and
under
the
current
process
there
are
some
modifications
and
clarifications
proposed,
and
that
would
be
particularly
when
it
comes
to
defining
who's,
a
resident
of
the
city,
and
this
would
be
state
law.
It
wouldn't
be
just
applicable
to
us,
and
also
this
is
being
supported
by
the
League
of
Cities
on
data
practices.
This
is
aspirational.
B
Well,
we're
suggesting
and
I
know
again
coming
from
the
city
attorney
is
we
need
to
rethink
data
practices
because
so
much
has
changed
when
we
did
this
in
1974
data
practices,
mostly
everything
was
written,
but
now
not
all
information
is
written.
How
do
we
have
excessive
accessibility
to
documents
things
of
that
nature?
This
would
be
a
long
term
project
and
would
involve,
as
several
legislators
has
told
us
over
the
summer,
that
we
need
to
work
with
not
only
the
city
communities,
but
so
many
of
the
privacy
folks.
B
This
skate
this
next
policy.
We
have
in
our
petitions
now
that
we
oppose
privatization
of
state
prisons,
we're
recommending
that
it
be
modified
to
not
only
include
that,
but
also
oppose
any
private
prison
or
detention
center
in
Minnesota,
and
this
came
from
NCR
from
miss
Rivero
and
the
housing
policy.
This
is
a
just
adding
in
another
place,
but
we
talked
about
it.
B
The
distress
rental
properties
from
last
week
and
public
health
and
early
development
for
children
modified
some
language
to
make
a
little
bit
explicit
that
we'd
like
to
see
policies
and
programs
that
really
encourage
people
not
to
drink
sugar,
to
use
sugary
drinks
or
artificially
sweetened
drinks,
particularly
young
children,
and
an
environmental
and
resource.
We
have
support
and
we
had
a
discussion
last
week,
the
right
to
repair
legislation
as
a
new
policy.
B
Some
of
the
policies
that
were
enacted
into
law
have
to
be
stricken.
He
was
of
the
document.
There
are
all
sorts
of
strikeouts
the
upper
harbor
kid,
the
local
government
ability
to
change,
speed
limits
which
are
beginning
to
happen
across
the
metro
region
and
operation
to
assist
in
a
complete
count
for
the
census.
A
D
You
mr.
chair,
it's
more
of
a
comment:
I
think
on
the
transit,
which
was
back
on
slide.
Five
I,
don't
think
we
need
to
fly
it,
but
I
just
want
to
appreciate
the
legislators.
Our
delegations
approach
to
both
really
aggressively
prioritizing
funding
for
the
d-line
as
part
of
the
bonding
request
for
this
year,
but
then
also
building
support
for
the
real
investment
that
our
region
needs
to
have
and
transit
in
the
long
term
and
I.
D
Think
we're
seeing
I
just
want
to
mention
that
you
know
around
the
country,
I
think
we're
seeing
declining
rates
of
transit
use,
except
in
those
places
where
cities
are
stepping
up
and
and
bringing
forward
both
capital
and
operating
dollars
to
help
support
the
system
for
local
trips,
which
has
to
bend
so
overlooked,
regionally,
not
just
here
in
our
region
but
across
the
country.
So
I
think
it's
time
for
us,
as
we
you
know,
have
the
draft
transportation
action
plan
out
soon
and
our
collecting
public
comments
on
that.
D
The
so
far
the
public
comments
on
our
transportation
action
plan
have
been
transit,
transit,
transit,
transit
transit,
like
our
constituents
want
us
to
us
collectively
they
don't
really
make
the
distinction
between
the
different
branches
of
government
presenting
them
to
deliver
about
our
transit
service,
especially
as
we
have
continued
to
focus
growth
along
transit
corridors.
So
I'm
excited
about
the
way
that
the
conversation
is
evolving.
D
Of
course,
we
were
also
disappointed
that
there
was
no
transportation
bill
last
session,
but
as
we
regroup
and
think
forward
into
the
future,
I
think
there's
ways
to
rethink
how
the
city
is
talking
about
transit
funding
for
our
constituents,
especially
for
local
trip
again,
especially
because
so
much
of
the
focus
will
be
on
this
one
line
this
year
and
really
building
up
before
the
next
finance
year.
When
we're
talking
about
the
bigger
transportation
packages,
Thank
You.
A
Thank
you
any
other
comments
or
questions
from
committee
members,
not
seeing
any.
We
appreciate
the
presentation
so
I'll
go
ahead
and
move
to
receive
and
file
all
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye
as
opposed
the
motion
carries
move
on
to
our
second
discussion
item,
which
is
receiving
our
federal
state
and
local
legislative
updates.
This
for
an
area.
Mr.
B
Chairman
this
would
be
very
brief.
A
couple
things
are
happening,
the
fiscal
years
we
know
started
on
October
1st.
However,
Congress
has
not
passed
an
appropriations
bill,
they're
working
on
them
and
there
may
be
there
supposed
to
be
12
different
appropriations,
bills,
I
think
Brazilians
are
going
to
be
like
it's
called
the
new
term
minibus,
which
are
four
in
four
bills,
put
together
into
one
bill.
There
may
be
three
or
four
of
those
moving
forward,
but
again
nothing
has
happened
yet.
B
The
frightening
part
is
that
to
commute
the
continuing
resolution
expires
on
November
21st,
that's
15
days
away
that
there
probably
will
be
an
attempt
to
extend
it.
The
house
was
thinking
about
early
January,
the
Senate
is
considering
maybe
February
or
March,
and
then
given
the
fact
of
the
investigations
and
the
inquiries
and
the
possibility
of
a
trial,
things
could
get
pushed
back.
So
there's
a
lot
of
concern
about
what
this
means
for
cities,
particularly
at
a
CDBG,
our
housing
programs.
B
Some
of
our
health
programs
are
all
federally
funded
and
I
have
one
of
the
good
things
so
so
far
in
looking
at
this,
most
of
the
appropriations
bills
are
fairly
clean.
You
don't
have
policy
writers,
sometimes
there's
good
policy
writers
over
poison
pills
and
so
far
there's
been
absent
of
that,
but
we
never
can't
tell
at
the
state
level
to
switch
first
gears
for
a
second.
We
did
have
our
first
bonding
tour
last
week.
B
Thank
you.
Last
week
it
was
Matt
has
been
in
budget,
their
staff,
and
the
commissioner
was
in
attendance.
I
think
we've
had
pretty
well,
it
was
we,
the
park
board,
the
county
all
together
and
I.
Think
the
city
of
Brooklyn
Center.
The
worked
on
next
Tuesday
is
the
House
of
Representatives,
chair
Murphy
and
her
team
and
her
her
committee
will
be
not
only
looking
at
projects.
I
were
on
our
tour,
I
mean
our
projects.
B
Well,
that's
the
ones
we
just
mentioned,
but
also
I,
think
the
Minneapolis
Community
College
and
also
projects
in
Golden,
Valley
and
crystal
forget
any,
and
that
would
be
a
more
extensive
tour.
That's
going
to
start
I
think
you're
gonna
start
at
7:30
at
the
Capitol
one
way
on
Tuesday
I,
don't
know
tenant
governor
and
governor.
We
even
buy
it.
If
they're
going
to
be
doing
tours,
they
want
to
do
capital
budget
tours
to
we've,
invited
them
to
the
city
and
then
another
thing
coming
in
November
or
early
December.
B
A
Thank
you
for
that
update
and
just
for
committee
members
I
know
some
committee
members
have
attended
in
the
past
these
capital
investment
tours.
If
you
haven't
or
if
you're
willing
to
again
it
would
be
great
to
have
you
there.
I
know
it
really
means
a
lot
to
our
legislators
as
well
to
see
local
leaders
there
talking
about
the
projects
that
are
we're
seeking
funding
for
and
the
importance,
our
communities
and
residents
on
that.
So
any
additional
comments
or
questions
from
committee
members.
Mr.
Neary,
you
know
mr.
