Description
Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board Meeting
A
A
B
A
It's
been
moved.
Is
there
a
second
before
I
ask
for
a
second
just
drawing
attention
to
the
request
that
went
out
to
commissioners
last
week
that
there's
a
request
that
2019,
303
and
304
be
added
to
added
to
the
agenda
from
full
committee,
so
I
will
receive
that
as
a
motion
with
the
addition
of
those
two.
Is
there
a
second.
D
E
I'd
like
to
make
a
motion
to
amend
the
agenda
to
remove
resolution
2019
305,
it's
a
resolution
directing
staff
to
prepare
a
comment
letter
in
opposition
to
plan
9
131
regarding
the
establishment
by
the
city
of
Minneapolis
of
the
IV's
inna
32nd
conservation
district
in
the
West
Calhoun
neighborhood.
There's.
A
E
As
far
as
I
can
tell
it's
not
within
the
purview
of
the
Minneapolis
Park
Recreation
Board,
to
determine
whether
or
not
conservation
districts
should
be
formed,
and
this
particular
conservation
district
would
not
directly
impact
parks
or
how
they
are
operated
or
developed.
So
I
don't
see
the
impact
on
parks
or
why
we
would
be
issuing
an
opinion
on
this.
Thank
you.
F
G
Meyer
I'll
oppose
the
motion
because
I
think
it's
relevant
to
the
parks
in
several
ways.
It's
immediately
adjacent
to
mid
potema
Kostka.
This
particular
area
was
the
subject
of
a
lot
of
Park
discussion
during
the
discussion
of
our
letter
got
the
2040
plan
when
people
were.
You
know
coming
here
talking
about
the
shoreline
overladen
ordinance
and
the
specific
amendment
that
we
made
to
our
letter
talking
about
supporting
density,
around
transit
stations.
Those
were
all
in
the
context
of
this
specific
area.
G
The
park
board
I
recently
lost
our
number
one
ranking
in
the
nation
and
a
big
factor
for
why
that
was
it,
because
a
lot
of
the
new
development
in
the
city
has
gone
around
areas
that
are
very
park
friendly.
So
the
distance
that
people
have
to
walk
to
get
to
a
park
has
increased
on
average.
There's
a
lot
of
practical
come
from
this.
The
park
board
has
also
previously
been
involved
in
doing
the
area
like
they
spend
a
million
dollars
fighting
the
southwest
light
rail.
G
H
A
Commissioner,
Severson
I
can
answer
that
in
the
in
the
application
that
we
are
reviewing
tonight.
The
applicant
stated
that
the
Minneapolis
Park
Board
was
a
was
a
direct
neighbor.
Thank
you.
Is
there
any
further
discussion?
It's
just
seeing.
None
I
would
ask
before
before
I
take
the
vote
if
they're,
if
all
nine
commissioners
intend
to
vote
on
this
resolution,
if
there
are
any
abstentions
or
refusals
on
this
resolution.
Mr.
I
E
B
A
Motion
to
amend
the
agenda
fails.
Is
there
any
further
discussion
on
the
agenda,
seeing
none
all
those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
opposed
abstentions.
The
agenda
passes.
They
would
entertain
a
motion
for
the
approval
of
the
minutes
of
August
7
2019,
it's
been
moved.
Is
there
a
second,
it's
been
moved
and
seconded.
Is
there
any
discussion
on
the
minutes
of
August
7,
seeing
none
all
those
in
favor
of

approval
of

minutes?
Please
signify

B
We
had
a
Harry
Potter
camp
at
Corcoran,
Park
that
ran
from
July
29th
to
August
1st
for
three
hours
each
day,
the
Canberra

through
funding
that
was
allocated
through
the
equity
matrix,
and
it
was
able
to
provide
a
camp

for
neighborhood
families
who
otherwise
might
not
have
had
an
opportunity.
In

Harry
Potter
themed
games,
including
Quidditch,
which

Resources
awarded
a
grant
of
eleven
thousand
three

fifty
dollars
to
introduce
fishing
to
youth
and
families,

happening
this
will
be
fun
and
low-key
event
with
popsicles
and
bubbles
and
is
to
celebrate
the
new
playground
at
the
park
that
opened
later
our
lake.
This
open
late
last
fall.
New
multi-use
fields
opens
at
PD
park.
There
is
a
new
multi-use
field
that
opened
on
Monday
August
19th
at
pdepartment,
turf
on
the
park's
new
field
has
been
growing.
All
season
is
now
strong
enough
for
foot
traffic,
sports,
community
calendars
and
general
activities.
It
is.
J
L
B
B
This
area
of
shoreline
was
selected
due
to
the
increased
erosion
that
has
occurred
along
much
of
this
area.
This
project
is
another
steps
in
the
implementation
of
one
of
the
project
goals
from
the
2015
master
plan,
which
calls
for
increased
naturalized
areas
to
improve
water
quality,
stabilize
shorelines
and
increase
habitat.
B
B
J
B
Which
were
replaced
by
bigger
12
new,
highly
visibility,
high
visibility
times,
we've
got
some
issues
with
individuals
still
using
that
area,
but
speaking
of
closures
of
Lake
Nokomis
wanted
to
provide
the
board
with
information
in
general
they're
around
our
lake
beach
closures.
At
the
moment,
in
particular
the
practices
today,
the
sugar
toxins
producing
e.coli
that
has
been
identified
at
Lake
Nokomis,
so.
B
Six
park
board
beaches
that
are
closed.
Four
of
them
are
the
result
of
our
normal
eco
line,
monitoring,
which
has
more
to
do
with
stormwater
kind
of
the
heavy
rains
that
we've
had.
Those
features
include
bidet
Mecosta
at
32nd,
Street,
Thomas,
Worth,
Beach
and
Hiawatha.
No
illnesses
have
been
reported
from
those
beach
closures
closures.
B
B
There
were
thousands
of
other
people
who
may
have
been
exposed
by
swimming
at
Lake
Nokomis
during
the
time
period
of
mid
July
to
August.
13
aquatics
has
taken
the
following
actions
in
coordination
with
the
Minnesota
Department
of
Health
Recreation
rec,
plus
an
environmental
water
quality
communications
permits,
HR
and
maintenance.
B
So
first
staff
quickly
closed
the
beaches
at
Lake,
Nokomis
and
alerted
patrons
to
stay
out
of
the
water
due
to
elevated
bacteria,
science
was
posted
and,
as
I
previously
mentioned,
high
visibility.
Signage
has
now
been
posted
to
help
make
that
clear.
We
immediately
alerted
youth
and
adult
program
participants
that
forthcoming
programs
and
events
were
canceled
at
Lake,
Nokomis,
youth,
swim.
Lessons
and
logrolling
participants
were
reimbursed
for
missed
classes
and
adult
women's
swimming
club
was
rerouted
to
include
this
summer
at
Cedar,
Lake.
B
We
complied
with
the
Minnesota
Department
of
Health
requests
for
staff
and
program
participant
contact
information
in
accordance
with
their
investigation.
We
provided
on-site
information
education
investors
during
regular
life,
each
hours
to
engage
like
users
who
want
to
swim,
regardless
of
warnings
with
the
factsheet
around
stack
and
encourage
them
to
stay
out
of
the
water
and
complete
the
Minnesota
Department
of
Health
Survey.
B
We
performed
an
internal
staff
out
of
our
lifeguards,
who
have
worked
at
Lake
Nokomis
since
mid-july
for
any
signs
or
symptoms
of
exposure
shared
with
the
Department
of
Health
for
investigation
and
immediately
removed
staff
with
signs
and
symptoms
from
the
schedule
per
direction
from
the
Department
of
Health.
We
continue
to
work
with
the
department
health
to
monitor
staff
health.
B
We
reached
out
to
Lake
users
program
participants
by
an
active
net
and
the
open,
Swim
Club
Facebook
page.
We
let
them
know
to
not
swim
if
they
have
exhibited
scientists
are
symptoms
of
illness
caused
by
stank
and
encourage
anyone
who
believes
they
may
have
developed
a
staph
infection
to
contact
the
Department
of
our
their
health
care
providers.
We've
encouraged
all
lake
users
program
participants
to
please
complete
the
Minnesota
Department
of
Health
Survey,
regardless
of
presence
of
symptoms
at
Lake
Nokomis.
B
There
have
been
69
reports
of
illness.
This
is
likely
represents
about
5%
of
the
people
who
swam
in
the
lake
last
month.
Then
we
continue
to
work
internally
and
externally
across
departments,
as
the
situation
evolves.
That's
quite
a
bit
on
that.
If
you
have
more
questions,
I
know
we
have
a
few
folks
from
staff
who
might
be
able
to
help.
Otherwise
you
can
send
me
an
email
and
I'll
make
sure
to
get
you
additional
information
about
it.
Thank.
E
So
the
migratory
birds
I,
don't
know
that
there's
a
whole
lot
we
can
do,
but
I
believe
it
would
be
helpful
if
we
were
informing
the
public
that
cleaning
up
after
their
pets
is
how
they
can
help
prevent
these
closures
and
then,
in
terms
of
stack,
it's
due
to
the
fact
that
someone
was
sick
when
they
were
swimming,
and
so
if
people
are
sick
or
your
children
are
sick.
Please
do
not
swim
in
a
pool
or
in
a
lake
that
that's
how
we
prevent
this
sort
of
infection
from
occurring.
E
M
B
N
M
N
M
I,
just
actually
I'm
just
trying
make
the
public
aware
that
we
do
have
an
area
that
definitely
is
available
and
that
we
have
overcome
the
obstacles
of
last
year
and
I'm
very
grateful
for
that,
and
then
I
guess.
The
last
question
that
I
have
of
whomever
is
as
far
as
the
pools
and
beaches.
When
would
we
be
anticipating
closure
of
those
for
this
season?.
N
N
O
You
president
Warren,
thank
you.
I
can
superintendent
for
the
report.
I
have
two
questions.
One
are
we
aware
if
the
state
is
doing
any
additional
investigation
on
the
reasoning
for
for
the
beach
shutdowns,
the
higher
levels
of
e.coli
I
mean
I've,
heard
a
couple
of
different
reasons:
I
I
I'm
hard
pressed
to
believe
that
we've
had
more
bike
migratory
birds
in
our
system
coming
through
this
year
than
other
years.
O
Likewise,
I
I'm
confused
by
the
idea
that
I
be
more
people
have
dogs
and
cats
or
I,
guess
dogs,
not
many
people
are
walking
cats,
but
regardless
it
is.
Is
that
kind
of
the
level
of
of
knowledge
that
we
have,
or
is
there
any
additional
work?
That's
being
done
to
kind
of
think
about
this,
so
that
we
can
move
forward
in
a
thoughtful
and
disciplined
manner
to
try
and
ensure
that
it
doesn't
happen
again.
I
think.
N
Boren
Commissioner,
so
I'll
do
my
best
to
my
knowledge.
Right
now
there,
the
Department
of
Health,
has
just
focused
on
understanding
how
many
people
have
been
infected
as
to
the
cause.
Yes,
there's
numerous
theories
ranging
from
the
water
levels
are
higher,
so
we're
we
have
water
pulling
in
things
out
of
the
soil
at
a
higher
level.
Migratory
birds
and
such
so
I
will
get
I'll
have
to
look
into
that
to
find
out
what
else
is
being
done
in
terms
of
causation
and
looking
for
that
cause.
O
You
yes,
I,
think
that
makes
sense.
I
just
think.
The
combination
of
the
fish
kills
that
have
been
happening
this
year
and
and
this
is
concerning
and
warrants
some
more
investigation
and
then
my
other
question
is
on
Franklin's
eel
Park.
If
there's
a
reason
for
the
shutdown,
if
it's
a
quick
fix,
it's
just
Franklin
steel
has
been
hit
pretty
hard
recently,
with
a
variety
of
its
amenities
being
shut
down
and
it's
picnic
tables
taken
away,
and
it's
just.
It
was
great
to
have
the
water
feature
functioning
I'm,
just
wondering.
N
The
president
boring
commissioners,
so
Franklin
steel,
we
we
did
get
the
we
first,
we
had
a
leaking
pipe
situation,
we
repaired
the
pipes,
we
got
it
up
and
running
and
then
we
once
it
was
running
for
about
a
day
we,
the
controller,
failed
on
us.
So
once
the
controller
failed,
then
we
had
to
ship
back
to
the
manufacturer,
get
a
new
controller.
We
got
the
new
controller
installed
and
then
we've
since
ran
into
another
issue
with
the
filtration
and
the
controller
signaling.
So
we
do
anticipate
having
it
open
by
this
weekend.
N
They
have
come
up
with
a
solution
and
they
would,
it
will
basically
be
running
continuously
rather
than
being
activated.
So
that's
the
the
workaround
to
to
deal
with
the
controller
is
to
have
it
activated
from
I
believe
it
was
a
like
10
a.m.
to
like
8
p.m.
what's
the
hours
I
believe
so
there'll
be
it'll,
be
activated
and
running
for
the
rest
of
the
season,
and
then
this
fall
will
go
into.
You
know
what
we
can
do
to
really
fix
it.
It
is
an
older
spray
shower.
N
A
Thank
You
Commissioner
kögel
the
time
is
5:30.
We
have
a
time
certain
item
on
our
agenda
for
open
time,
which
is
our
public
comment
period
for
the
Minneapolis
Park
Board
just
give
folks
a
little
bit
of
background
before
we
go
into
open
time,
at
with
rare
exceptions,
virtually
virtually
at
every
one
of
our
meetings.
We
invite
community
members
to
give
public
comment
on
virtually
any
issue
that
they
want
to
give
public
comment
on
it's
our
time
to
listen
to
the
community.
A
If
there's
issues
that
you
want
to
see
the
Park
Board
address
that
isn't
currently
on
our
radar.
This
is
our.
This
is
your
opportunity
to
share
that
with
us.
If
there's,
if
you
want
to
make
comments
on
any
upcoming
or
pending
actions
that
the
board
has
were
here
we're
here
to
listen
to
that
as
well,
just
a
couple
of
guidelines,
we
don't
debate
with
folks,
so
you
we
won't
be
responding
to
you
when
you
come
up
to
the
microphone.
A
A
A
If
you
have
comments
that
you
want
to
share
with
the
board
or
executive
team
about
those
we
want
to
hear
them,
but
because
of
the
sensitive
nature
of
that,
we
ask
you
to
reach
out
to
commissioners
and
our
executive
staff
directly
and
all
of
our
information
can
be
found
on

I
am
going
to
call
up
my
first
speaker,
it's
council,
member,
Lisa,
McDonald
council
member.
A
P
You
chairborne
and
commissioners
Lisa
McDonald,
42,
41,
East,
Lake,
Harriet
Parkway
I
want
to
speak
against
the
resolution.
2019
305
that
the
park
board
is
considering
today.
First
of
all,
the
Conservation
District
that
is
being
proposed
is
not
in
or
immediately
adjacent
to
the
lakeshore
and
I
do
not
believe
it
should
be
in
the
purview
of
the
park
board.
If
density
near
the
light
rail
station
is
the
issue,
then
the
West
Callahan
neighborhood
will
already
be
one
of
the
most
compact
densely
populated
neighborhoods
in
the
city.
P
A
You
for
your
time,
Thank,
You
councilmember.
Our
next
speaker
is
board
of
estimate
and
Taxation
Vice
President
Carol
Becker.
Vice
president
Becker
are
you
here
this
evening.
Our
next
speaker
is
Arlene
freed
Arlene.
If
you
would
say
your
name
and
if
you're
comfortable
your
address
for
the
public
record,
you
have
90
seconds
to
address
the
board
and
welcome.
I
Arlene
freed
1109
xerxes
Avenue
South
I,
speak
from
a
perspective
of
fountains
park
board
since
2004
I
do
not
support
a
name
change,
Florida,
Park
ways
in
my
research
I
used
theater
Worth's
competence
in
history
book
for
the
Minneapolis
Park
System,
which
chronicles
the
park
courts.
History
from
1883
to
1944
I
would
like
to
point
out
that
there
no
mention
in
the
exhaustive
index
or
in
the
352
Facebook
of
the
name
the
day,
maka
Scott.
It
is
not
a
documented
historic
name.
I
My
second
point
is
that
you
role
as
commissioners
is
to
protect
the
Park
Court
and
its
assets.
It
is
not
a
role
to
harm
the
park
board,
which
you
are
doing
when
you
remove
the
long-standing
the
counting
from
both
the
lakes
and
the
parkways.
This
entire
process
has
been
very
disappointing.
I
believe
it's
been
a
waste
of
valuable
staff,
time
and
resources.
A
Q
Q
Are
observing
the
park
board
meetings
this
year
to
evaluate
how
the
board
is
measuring
up
in
light
of
our
positions,
supporting
transparency
and
responsiveness
to
community
concerns?
We
are
concerned
that
at
times,
established
procedures
and
effective
community
involvement
in
transparency
get
overlooked
by
this
board
in
its
desire
for
fast
results.
Here
are
the
recent
examples
from
the
job
July
17th
meeting
that
highlight
why
we
are
concerning
the
failure
to
follow
through
on
appointments
to
the
Community
Advisory
Committee
for
the
2021
comprehensive
plan,
despite
adequate
time
to
name
candidates
and
considers.
Q
The
board
failed
to
act
on
this
time
critical
resolution.
The
addition
number
two,
the
addition
of
their
resolution,
avoiding
single-use
plastics,
although
I
see
when
we
support
it
to
the
board
agenda
without
notifying
the
relevant
committee
chair
or
using
a
committee
to
vet
this
resolution,
several
of
the
board
members
seem
to
be
surprised.
J
Q
The
resolution
was
even
on
the
agenda.
In
addition,
the
league
has
observed
marked
imbalance
and
gender
among
appointments
to
committees
and
outside
boards,
while
the
three
women
share
four
of
the
seven
out
stand
that
seven
standing
committees,
the
total
number
of
a
and
seats
held
by
women
commissioners,
is
disproportionately
low.
Only
22%,
given
that
two
of
the
women
commissioners
bring
seniority
and
experience
to
the
board.
This
strikes
us
as
even
more
unusual
trust
in
process
is
fundamental
to
effective
government.
The
league
asked
at
the
park
board
give
these
concerns
serious
consideration.
Thank.
Q
A
S
You
being
asked
to
vote
on
something
in
this
case.
The
changing
of
the
parkway
name
is
a
legacy
issue
you'll
be
judged.
Clearly,
you
know
in
the
future
by
one
of
these
issues,
because
it's
so
it's
been
so
divisive
along
the
lines
of
income
and
race
and
plays
and
symbols
really
how
the
city
in
the
future,
not
only
the
parks,
is
going
to
define
itself
and
how
the
children
and
grandchildren
and
I
have
12
of
them
who
live
within
20
minutes
of
that
lake
are
going
to
define
themselves
you're
literally
saying
to
them.
S
These
are
your
values.
This
is
how
we
should
define
ourselves.
This
is
what
we
believe
so
I'm
asking
you
to
continue
to
stand
as
you
have
United
around
these
legacy
issues,
because
I
respect
you
and
appreciate
all
that
you
have
done
to
educate
this
community
behind
the
values
that
should
be
represented
by
the
Park
Board
and
stand
behind
making
Minneapolis
one
city
position
along
with
us
to
work
together
on
that
effort.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
A
T
Hi
resident
74
77
years
graduate
of
North
High
class
of
1959
I
realized
that
the
legal
name
is
still
in
question
and
the
right
to
name
the
Parkway.
After
that,
my
concern
is
using
the
tax
dollars
that
we
would
be
spending
for
better
achievement
for
the
city
residents.
Improving
health
and
hygiene
conditions,
improve
graduation
graduation
rates,
a
homelessness
for
indigenous
people,
people,
color
and
other
people
of
need.
Drug
awareness
and
rehab
helped
up
occur.
T
Employment
and
employment,
training,
opening

facilities
to
outreach
needs
and
programs
opening
park
facilities
for
after-school
training,
opening

facilities
for
collection

assistance
of
survival
items,
food
hygiene,
seasonal,
closing,
I,
don't
see
the
park
board
partnering
with
any
other
corporations
or
city
agencies
and
I,
think
we
need
to
leverage
our
tax
dollars
and
I'm
disappointed
that
we're
not
taking
care
of
what
we
have
and
not
filling
potholes
in
the
pathways
around.
Do
not
post
adequate
speed
signs
of
25
miles
per
hour,
don't
enforce
noise
and
speeding
in
our
city.
A
U
A
I'll
check
back
on
the
I'll
do
another
round
of
lists
at
the
end
and
see
if
folks
have
come
in
rosemary.
Lundell
is
rosemary
here
this
evening,
rosemary
welcome.
If
you
would
state
your
name
and
if
you're
comfortable
your
address
for
the
public
record,
you
have
90
seconds
to
address
the
board
and
welcome
Thank.
V
You
president
commissioners,
my
name
is
rosemary.
Lundell
I
live
at
33,
26,
Ivy,
Lane
I
live
in
that
small
neighborhood.
You
will
be
discussing
tonight
as
you
discuss
your
possible
opposition
to
our
going
forward
with
a
request
for
consideration
as
a
conservation
district
I
ask
that
you
do
not
oppose
our
ability
to
go
forward.
The
city
has
three
ordinances:
historic,
designation
preservation
and
conservation.
District
all
are
legal,
appropriate
opportunities
to
preserve
single-family
homes.
Our
conservation
district
application
deserves
consideration.
V
V
Based
on
2010
census
data,
to
repeat
a
little
bit
of
what
Lisa
MacDonald
said,
west
calhoun
neighborhood
has
48
single-family
homes
out
of
1394
total
units.
This
is
before
they
approved
additional
750
units
that
the
Baader
development
project
will
add.
This
is
minneapolis,
not
Manhattan,
not
tokyo,
and
a
variety
of
housing
types
is
appropriate
for
the
city
of
lakes.
Thank
you.
A
D
D
Also
supporting
affordable
housing,
which
does
not
provide
park
fees
I'd
like
to
ask
if
the
involvement
of
the
park
board
in
this
matter
are
consistent
with
other
park,
board
actions
or
non
actions.
The
coming
hotel
at
the
BP
site,
which
is
directly
across
the
street
from
parkland,
was
not
addressed
by
the
park
board.
It
has
no
affordable
housing,
only
luxury,
condos
and
hotel
rooms.
Is
this
consistent
with
supporting
increased
density
and
affordable
housing
and
eliminating
historic
park
access
disparity
issues?
D
There
was
also
a
proposed
multi-unit
development
at
3447
Lyndale
Avenue
south,
which
is
0.6
mile
from
lyndale
farmstead
park.
It
would
have
been
added
Dempo
abang,
a
transit
route.
Why
did
this
project?
Why
was
it
opposed
by
the
city
and
why
did
the
lyndale
neighborhood
organization,
of
which
mr.
Boren
is
executive
director
also
oppose
it,
and
why
did
the
Park
Board
not
support
it
or
comment
on
it
or
weigh
in
on
it?
That's
it.
I
would
just
like
to
clarify
that
our
neighborhood
does
not,
but
any
parkland
it
is
separated
by
apartment
buildings.
Thank.
A
U
You
it's
Tom's
shy,
I'm,
very
but
I'm
here
to
echo
the
sentiments
of
my
two
neighbors
who
just
spoke,
I
thought
it
wasn't
going
to
be
necessary
when
we
had
the
initial
motion.
That
was
the
client
and
the
first
question.
I
have
is
similar
I'm,
not
sure
why
you
folks
are
involved
in
opposing
our
attempt
for
a
conservation
district.
What
we're
doing
is
perfectly
legal.
It's
a
provision,
that's
there
and
we're
simply
taking
advantage
of
it.
I
believe
was
Commissioner.
Meyer
said
well
we're
concerned,
because
our
park
board
ranking
is
diminishing.
U
I
would
suggest
you
take
care
of
the
parkway
the
path
around
the
bidet
Mecosta
before
you
start
worrying
about
the
neighborhood.
The
second
thing
is
that
it's
been
touted
that
this
is
financial
I
saw
the
numbers
in
the
report.
I'll
be
very
succinct.
This
is
a
money
grab.
You
folks
are
looking
at
this
as
an
opportunity
to
generate
revenue
and
our
expense
I.
Don't
think
that
is
appropriate.
Last
but
not
least
well,
not.
U
Last
but
not
least,
you
said
you
have
concerns
in
the
emotion
or
at
least
the
agenda
that
I
read
but
doesn't
say
what
the
concerns
are.
It
just
says
we
have
concerns.
Hopefully
they
will
see
the
light
of
day
and
last
but
not
least,
I'm
just
gonna
make
a
suggestion
to
everybody
up
there.
You
folks
stick
to
the
parks,
we'll
take
care
of
the
neighborhood.
A
W
Mommy
duck:
will
you
be
Carly,
been
hurtful
amake,
be

Dom

but
they
often
want
ta,
hello,
friends
and
relatives.
My
name
is
Carly
bad,
hurtful,
I'm,
Dakota
and
I'm
a
resident
of
Minneapolis
I
come
from
this
place.
My
grandparents
cloud
man
and
chokecherry
woman
led
a
village
epidemic.
A
ska
and
my
people
are
the
original
people
of
Minnesota.
W
My
coche,
my
son,
was
born
at
Willow
birth
center
in
a
building
overlooking
the
lake
the
home
of
his
ancestors,
even
though
my
family
was
from
the
state
and
didn't
have
the
chance
to
grow
up
here.
My
Dakota
son
and
other
young
people
of
color
and
indigenous
youth
deserve
to
be
able
to
see
themselves
being
recognized
and
celebrated
in
this
city.
Our
indigenous
and
african-american
youth
should
not
have
to
walk
down
streets
with
names
that
celebrate
people
who
pushed
for
the
subjugation
of
and
violence
against,
the
bodies
of
their
ancestors.
W
None
of
us
should
have
to
Dakota
is
the
indigenous
language
of
this
state
and
this
land.
Some
of
the
challenges
that
I've
heard
to
the
Parkway
name
change
are
that
it's
too
hard
to
say.
I've
already
heard
it
said.
Numerous
times
here
today,
it's
time
for
that
argument
to
be
done,
there's
power
in
our
language
and
asking
our
people
all
Minnesotans
to
say
these
three
words
in
our
homeland
when
we're
fighting
to
save
our
language
is
not
too
much
to
ask
another
argument.
W
I've
heard
is
that
we're
changing
history,
we're
bringing
voices,
perspectives
and
stories
to
the
table
that
haven't
previously
been
provided
for
we're
providing
opportunities
for
truth-telling
and
community
building
Dakota
history
is
Minnesota
history.
It's
all
of
our
history,
I
recognize
that
this
scares
some
people,
including
some
people
in
the
room
and
that's
because
of
how
ingrained
colonialism
and
racism
is
in
our
everyday
lives.
W
Some
of
the
people
who
have
spoken
up
are
fearful
of
inclusive
perspectives
and
processes,
because
they
are
fearful
of
change
in
a
fray,
in
essence,
they're
afraid
we're
going
to
do
to
them.
What
men
like
Calhoun,
did
to
us
they're
afraid
we're
going
to
take
something
away
from
them,
they're
afraid
that
their
stories
will
disappear.
If
we
are
given
the
space
at
the
table
to
share
ours,
that's
not
how
this
works.
It's
not
an
either-or
situation,
learning
how
to
save
the
day.
W
Mccaskill,
when
you
give
your
address
to
someone
looking
for
directions,
writing
it
down
on
an
envelope
is
not
going
to
take
anything
away.
Instead,
it's
a
gift
that
we
are
sharing
with
you
that
will
connect
you
to
the
land
that
you
that
we
live
on,
I
want
to
say
well,
PETA
tanka,
commissioners,
for
your
courage,
I
want
to
say
thank
you
immense
gratitude
for
your
time
and
for
your
commitment
to
be
good
stewards
of
this
place
that
is
so
important
to
all
of
us.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
K
K
K
Of
the
neighborhood
over
by
a
Hiawatha,
we
have
a
place
called
the
Cardinal
bar
cargo
bars
at
38
and
the
Hiawatha
light
rail
and
has
been
there
for
15
years.
But
it's
a
dive
bar.
You
can
get
a
burger
for
575
and
a
$3
beer,
if
you're
at
the
right
time
and
the
idea
that
somehow
magically
there
will
be
giant
development.
Four
blocks
away
from
the
white
rail
station
is
simply
not
true
and
I
say
that,
because
we
have
had
light
rail
for
15
years,
we
have
not
gotten
this
magic
development.
K
That
people
are
saying
that's
gonna
happen
and
I
would
argue
that
you
should
not
be
even
involved
in
this
issue.
You
have
responsibility
to
the
parks
not
to
the
rest
of
the
city
and
things
like
not
maintaining
things
like
open
space,
not
paint
painting
the
vistas
around
the
lakes,
the
loss
of
the
shoreline
ordinances
and
preservation,
water
management
and
we're
now
building
giant
buildings
with
no
green
space
whatsoever.
I
think
those
are
appropriate.
The
four
blocks
away
from
a.
A
X
That
is
20
years
old
in
our
system,
for
you,
sports.
That
is
now
allowing
our
kids,
who
are
displaced
happening
to
move
to
the
suburbs,
because
they
can't
afford
the
housing
inside
the
Minneapolis
area.
As
many
you
know
it
is
changing
and
they
have
to
move
to
the
suburbs.
So
this
policy,
that's
been
in
place
for
twenty
years
needs
to
be
looked
at
refined,
so
we
can
break
back
those
kids
who
were
displaced
or
had
to
move
to
that
area
for
affordable
housing
to
be
able
to
come
back
and
play
inside
our
Minneapolis
parks.
X
Number
two
I'm
asking
you
to
look
at
a
marketing
policy
that
will
help
us
drive
our
recreational
system
back
where
our
kids
and
our
families
can
be
able
to
come
back
to
the
park.
As
many
of
you
know,
we
don't
live
in
the
same
park
system
as
we
did
ten
years
ago.
Families
are
moving
into
the
city
and
they
want
to
keep
their
families
in
front
of
their
house.
So
we
need
to
drive
some
kind
of
policy
marketing
policy
to
get
those
families
back
into
our
park.
X
So
we
can
show
them
a
safe
place
to
play
a
safe
place
to
be,
and
our
families
can
get
some
time
to
do
what
they
like
to
do.

go
fight
for
us.
We
spent
our
gas
money,
we
take
kids
home,
we
feed
them.
We
have
never
even
got
a
stipend
to
go
to
Bromley
pizza.
Please
look
at
some
way
of
rewarding
your
volunteer
coaches.
It
spend
more
time
with
these
families
and
their
children
than
most
of
your
staff.
A
A
Thank
You
mr.
Tate
you're,
the
only
person
that's
spoken
so
far.
That's
addressed
something
that
isn't
on
our
agenda
tonight.
So
I
just
like
to
refer
you
to
our
chair
of
our
Recreation
Committee
Commissioner
French,
or
your
district
commissioner,
commissioner,
Severson
to
work
on
to
work
on
the
issue.
I'm
sure
they
will
both
get
you
in
touch
with
the
appropriate
staff.
Our
next
speaker
is
Lynette.
Davis
Lynette.
Are
you
here
this
evening?
Y
My
name
is
Lynette
Davis
and
I
live
in
the
West
Calhoun
neighborhood
I
urge
every
park
board
member
to
strongly
consider
their
main
purpose
and
purpose
on
the
board
on
the
Minneapolis,
Park
and
Recreation
boards
website.
It
is
stated
that
the
board
shall
permanently
preserve,
protect,
maintain,
improve
and
enhance
its
natural
resources,
parkland
and
recreational
opportunities
for
current
and
future
generations.
Y
These
likes
the
majority
of
the
beaches
have
already
been
closed
for
most
of
the
summer.
How
is
that
increasing
access
to
to
recreation?
One
would
think
that
the
park
board
would
be
against
hundreds
of
additional
cars
emptying
onto
the
parkway.
The
city
estimates
that
a
similar-sized
development
Kelvin
towers
will
create
3178
extra
car
trips
a
day
and
that
this
will
only
decrease
by
15%
when
the
light
rail
grows
in
deer,
foxes,
turkeys,
hawks
and
eagles
and
habit
the
backyards
of
these
homeowners.
Where
will
the
fauna
live
if
the
flora
is
paved
over?
Y
The
mayor
and
city
council
magically
believed
that
high
rises
over
the
lake
will
make
housing
affordable,
ignoring
the
first
law
of
real
estate,
patient
location,
location,
the
mayor
and
city
council
magically
believed
these
new
apartment
dwellers
will
only
use
light
rail
and
not
own
the
cars.
This
particular
form
of
magical
thinking
is
easier.
Of
course,
when
your
campaigns
are
financed
by
developers,
one
would
think
the
park
board
would
be
a
counterweight
to
such
nonsense.
Why
would
any
of
you
be
against
conservation?
The
parkland
dedication
fees
mentioned
mentioned
in
this
resolution
are
a
false
choice.
Y
A
R
R
R
You
know
and
I
think
we
don't
have
a
great
year
next
year,
but
just
all
the
activities
I
went
around
I've
been
to
like
1012
parts
and
nothing
but
activities
for
young
people
dealing
without
trauma
in
the
community
and
also
this
time,
it's
not
about
howling,
it's
about
telling
y'all.
Thank
you
and
then
letting
us
know
what
we
have
to
do
to
continue
them
program
in
the
future.
So
thanks
to
the
park
with
all
the
commissioners
on
this
one
thank.
A
A
Circling
back
has
Leslie
Bush
arrived
and
is
here
to
speak.
So
Leslie
is
not
here,
Angi
lolei.
He
is
she
here
this
morning
or
this
evening.
Excuse
me
that
is
everybody
I
have
signed
up.
Is
there
somebody
that
signed
up
that
did
not
hear
their
name
calm,
seeing
nobody.
That
concludes
our
open
time.
We
were
still
with
reports
of
officers.
Were
there
any
other
questions
for
acting
superintendent
Ringgold,
seeing
none
I
do
have
I
do
have
a
request
on
under
reports
of
officers.
Z
City
Councilmember
button
actually
against
the
park
court
and
president
warned
Britta
made
in
asking
the
board
remove
some
rocks
at
mini
High
Priest.
There
was
a
hearing
on
12th
of
August
and
just
late
last
week,
judge
Robin
if
your
nor
denying
aliens
petition
hasn't
really
gotten
any
or
much
media
attention.
But
I
thought
it's
important
manner
for
the
board
to
consider.
J
Z
It's
a
bit
related
to
the
Hiawatha
Golf
Course
mr.
Filene
was
concerned
at
the
rising
level
of
water
in
the
creek
and
Bob
that
the
Park
Court
had
contributed
to
it
and
judge.
Robin
basically
said
that
this
is
not
the
type
of
manner
that
a
court
takes
jurisdiction
over
is
up
to
the
board
to
make
these
decisions
rather
than
the
court.
So
I.
A
E
A
Assistant
superintendent,
Schroeder,
I'm
gonna,
ask
just
in
the
interest
of
time
if
you
can
send
a
written
update
to
a
written
update
to
board
members.
Thank
you
are
moving
on
to
the
consent
agenda.
I
would
entertain
a
motion
for
the
agenda
resolutions,
2019
299
through
three
zero
one.
Is
there
a
motion
on
the
consent
agenda
so
moved
like
a
consent.
Agenda
has
been
moved.
Is
there
a
second
been
moved
and
seconded?
A
M
A
Z
A
AA
A
M
Like
to
move
resolution
2019
to
91
resolution,
approving
encroachment
permit
for
use
of
sixty
eight
square
feet
of
land
in
front
of
subject
property
at
twenty
three.
Twenty
three
East
Lake
of
the
Isles
perfectly
encroaching
upon
parkland
at
East,
Lake
of
Isles
Parkway
with
in
Minneapolis
chain
of
lakes
regional
park
and
collecting
appropriate
fees
associated
with
this
encroachment
been.
A
B
F
S
A
F
A
The
resolution
carries
I
would
entertain
a
resolution
for
2019
to
0-9,
which
is
a
second
and
final
reading
of
a
resolution
approving
and
amending
to
chapter
9,
article
10
of
the
Minneapolis
Park
and
Recreation
Board
Code
of
Ordinances
to
rename
Calhoun
Boulevard
West,
Kelvin,
Drive,
East,
Lake,
Calhoun,
Parkway
and
Wesley
Kelvin
Parkway
to
bidet
McCosker,
Boulevard,
West,
bidet,
macaca,
Drive,
East,
bidet,
Mecosta,
Parkway
and
West
bidet
McCosker
Parkway,
respectively.
As
their
emotion,
it's
been
moved.
Is
there
a
second,
so
I
can
say
it's
been
moved
and
seconded?
Is
there?
M
M
Therefore,
I
strongly
urge
us
to
be
consistent
and
continue
this
pattern.
That
resolution
was
passed
on
what
was
it
June
June
26
all
members
who
are
present
voted
in
favor
of
that,
except
for
Commissioner,
music
I
was
absent
from
it,
but
we
did
vote
on
a
resolution
that
stated
that
the
name
of
the
lake
is
Lake,
add
a
Mecosta,
so
I
would
like
us
to
be
consistent
and,
in
addition,
I
have
reached
out
to
the
American
Indian
studies.
M
At
the
University
of
Minnesota
and
I
heard
no
issue
of
dropping
bidet
and
adding
Lake
I
realized
that
the
members
of
the
bean
family
here
have
been
on
faculty
but
as
far
as
I
can
see
that
they
are
not
now
the
sixth
District
Commissioner
read
of
the
dropping
or
adding
to
the
bidet
macaca
that
that
was
not
a
possibility
and
my
feeling
is
possibly
he
overreacted
to
that.
And
in
fact
it
is
not
an
issue.
So
therefore,
I'd
like
to
move
to
amend
the
resolution
to
drop
a
day
and
add
Lake
to
the
floor.
A
M
A
Is
an
amendment
offered
to
amend
2019
to
0-9
to
insert
the
word
Lake
proceeding
all
incidents
of
the
word
des?
Is
there
a
second
on
the
amendment?
Is
there
a
second?
Is
there
a
second?
The
amendment
fails
for
lack
of
a
second
mr.
fornia
you've
concluded
with
your
comments.
Thank
You,
Commissioner,
forney
I,
think
the
next
speaker,
I,
have
is
Commissioner
French
I'm.
C
J
C
C
C
This
is
like
the
least
that
we
can
do
all
the
stuff
we
can
do
to
make
things
right
for
certain
groups
of
folks
would
be
downtrodden
in
the
past
this-
and
this
is
like
the
least
we
can
do-
is
to
be
stored,
a
name
to
something
that
their
relatives
and
ancestors
hold
held
dearly.
So
with
that
how
I'm
gonna
encourage
the
rest
of
this
board
develop
to
restore
the
name
of
the
park,
ways
to
reflect
the
name
of
the
lake.
Thank
you,
Thank.
A
You
Commissioner
French
is
there
any
further
discussion
seeing
none
I
would
just
add
I'm
honored
that
the
board
is
taking
taking
a
boat
on
this
action
tonight
as
your
board,
president
I
stated
this
a
few
weeks
ago.
I
apologize
that
we
didn't
take
a
vote
on
this
a
year
ago,
when
the
federally
recognized
name
of
the
lake
was
restored
to
the
day
macaca,
and
we
allowed
this
inconsistency
to
happen
for
so
long,
I
agree
with
Commissioner
French
and
the
sentiments
that
Commissioner
veto
made
last
week.
This
really
is
the
least
we
can
do
an
outside.
A
A
A
Motion
passes
with
seven
votes,
the
moving
on
to
discussion
I
those
thank
you,
everyone
for
coming,
the
moving
on
to
new
business.
We
have
a
presentation
from
Miss,
Pope
and
Missy
ager
on
our
youth
development
and
the
Minnesota
Department
of
Human
Services.
Certified
child
care
center
process
welcome
and
will
receive
your
report.
AB
So
in
2014,
the
federal
child
care
Development,
Block
Grant
was
signed
into
law
to
basically
to
improve
the
quality
and
access
for
families
throughout
the
city
to
have
stable
and
high
quality
childcare
and
then
217.
It
was
actually
very
late
in
217
Minnesota
and
acted
changes
to
be
in
compliance
with
that
law.
AC
So
the
certification
requirements
involved
about
six
items.
Inspection
of
the
recreation
centers
that
have
the
reckless
childcare
program
had
State
Fire,
Marshal
inspections.
We
reviewed
the
both
the
indoor
and
the
outdoor
spaces
for
the
childcare,
our
personnel,
compliance
with
staff,
both
the
certified
and
the
part-time
staff
had
documented
of
training,
which
we
were
already
doing.
So.
The
training
requirements
didn't
change.
It's
just
documented
differently.
AB
So
this
is
new
for
us
at
the
park
board
in
rec
plus,
so
that
the
certification
process
requires
that
we
have
a
fingerprint
identity,
verification
system
in
place
every
five
years
and
an
enhanced
background
check,
and
that
is
actually
done
through
the
Department
of
Human
Services
web-based
application
and
it
would
take
place
in
our
human
resource
department
and
the
park
board
then
receives
of
applicants
who
are
cleared
for
employment
or
who
are
disqualified.
And
there
is
a
system
in
place
for
applicants
to
request
reconsideration.
AC
So
the
staff
that
would
be
going
through
the
background
study
process
will
be
the
staff
that
are
employed
by
the
redd+
childcare
program,
which
is
the
red
plus
employees
and
the
inclusion
staff
that
work
in
the
rec
plus
program
staff
with
direct
access
as
well,
which
is
the
REC
facility
specialist,
front
desk
and
therapeutic
record
coordinator.
The
background
study
is
every
five
years.
The
cost
for
the
fingerprinting
and
the
enhanced
background
study
is
about
eighty
seven
hundred
dollars
every
five
years.
AB
A
O
Cole
Gayle
Thank
You
president
born
I
am
curious.
Looking
at
this
spreadsheet
at
the
different
years.
Perhaps
you
have
an
answer
to
this
question,
but
the
spreadsheet
of
years
of
subsidies?
If
there's
any
explanation
to
the
the
changes,
are
the
the
higher
level
of
subsidy
received
in
2018
I
see
that
the
numbers
are
higher
is?
Are
we
expecting
a
substantially
increased
number
this
year?
Would
we
expect
it
to
be
at
a
similar
level,
or
was
there
a
reason
for
the
blip
in
2018
so.
AC
The
subsidies
Commissioner
can
vary.
The
one
for
2019
is
just
through
July.
When
we
did
the
data,
it
can
depend
on
a
lot
of
factors,
co-pays
of
the
participant,
if
they're
on
a
waiting
list
for
Hennepin
County
and
for
offering
the
assistance
while
they're
on
the
waiting
list,
so
it
does
fluctuate
from
year
a
year.
I
don't
have
an
exact
answer
other
than
some
of
that
data.
Okay,
thank.
H
We
have
one
right,
Plus
program
left
at
Weber
Park
and
it
doesn't
often
reflect
what
the
community
looks
like
so
with
that
I
just
want
to
encourage
you
folks
to
come
up
and
I
know
coming
up
with
money
can
be
hard,
but
I
believe
that
this
board
is
definitely
behind
supporting
the
youth
we'd
love
to
see
this
program
expanded,
because
it
is
a
really
good
program
and
I
would
hope,
and
you
guys
have
appeared
to
have
done
a
good
job
not
to
conflict
with
I.
Think
it's
80,
kids
is
what
it's
called
back.
H
A
You
Commissioner
Severson
is
there
any
other
discussion
or
comments?
I'll
just
add
an
an
echo
person's
sentiment.
It's
probably
not
the
right
discussion
for
for
tonight,
but
we've
we've
often
discussed
our
reckless
model
as
partially
revenue
generating,
but
it's
also
publicly
subsidized
I
would
be
exceedingly
interested
in
it
being
further
public
subsidized
and
having
it
in
neighborhoods
that
have
some
greater
displayed
need
and
so
I
know.
A
In
our
budget
conversations,
there
was
a
Commissioner
request
that
seemed
to
receive
quite
a
bit
of
support
of
expanding
expanding
sites
to
the
at
least
one
site
to
the
north
side.
So
I'd
be
I'm,
excited
to
see
I'm
excited
to
see
the
developments
around
our
staff
reports.
For
that.
So
thank
you.
Thank
you
so
much
mr.
Yeager
and
miss
Pope.
Our
next
discussion
item
I
believe
is
Assistant
Superintendent,
Schroeder
and
staff
on
an
update
on
the
bid,
a
McCosker,
concessionary
I
think
we
have
quite
a
few
folks
here
to
give
us
an
update
on
that.
R
A
R
N
To
provide
a
staff
update
on
the
Padilla
McCosker
concessions
site,
we
do
have
a
project.
Page
planning
does
have
a
project
plate
page
up
on
the
on
the
website
as
well,
so
I've
included
that
link
in
a
title
slide,
but
just
a
real
brief
background.
Of
course
the
fire
was
on
May
16
2019.
Since
then,
the
same
school,
real
fun
have
been
using
generator
power.
Lola's
on
the
lake
has
been
providing
concessions
via
the
food
truck
again
with
generated
power
and
we've
had
portable
restrooms
on-site
or
portable
toilets.
N
So
the
goal
has
been
a
long-term
goal
and
I
have
some
help
in
the
audience
tonight
too,
and
should
recognize.
Deanna
Murdoch
has
been
keys
to
getting
the
contracting
in
the
long
term.
Solutions
done
and
shamed
Stenzel,
of
course,
has
been
our
concession
liaison
and
working
hard
down
there.
So
the
long
term
milestones
here
long
term
being
in
the
next
two
years,
but
immediately
this
fall.
N
Restoring
electricity
to
those
facilities
that
are
there
pave
over
the
building
footprint
to
allow
for
a
smooth,
lockable
accessible
surface
in
the
interim,
something
that
will
last
about
two
years,
and
you
can
see
the
timelines
here
that
we're
currently
at
and
then
disconnect
the
existing
water
service
and
sanitary
lines.
So
that's
estimated,
be
September
October
and
then
install
new
permanent
drinking
phone
along
the
trail
again
estimated
September
October
estimated,
because
it's
through
a
procurement
process
and
bidding
so
currently
they're.
N
You
know,
there's
a
fence:
that's
been
put
up
around
the
building
to
protect
the
public
from
what's
left
of
the
foundation
of
the
building
and
the
conditions
that
have
been
there
were
this.
So
it
was
a
kind
of
a
combination
of
areas
where
there
was
tile.
Some
of
the
tile
had
been
taken
up
in
the
in
the
demolition
and
so
really
uneven
kind
of
uneven
unaccessible
surfaces.
So
the
fence
has
been
out
understanding
and
interest
to
get
it
open
by
this
weekend
and
have
a
better
facility
by
Labor
Day.
N
There's
still
some
unevenness
in
some
areas
that
we
just
we
wouldn't
want
to
expose
the
public
so
retracting
that
fence
that
will
allow
the
Lola's
food
trailer
to
move
in
to
that
site.
The
ice
cream
truck
that's
down
there
to
move
on
to
that
site
and
return,
some
more
expand
that
patio
space
and
that
and
that
so
then
we
expect
the
work
to
be
we're
shooting
for
Saturday
that
we
would
have
things
the
trailer
moved,
the
Saturday
we
would
have
everything
restored,
all
the
public
space
that
was
there
before
the
building.
A
E
N
President
Boren
Commissioner
music,
so
right
now
we
are
intending
only
to
put
porta-potties.
We
have
four
porta-potties
there.
They
do
have
the
hand
sanitizer
in
that's
the
standard.
We
did
look
into
the
more
elaborate
if
you
will
trailer
restrooms
facilities,
that
you'll
see
and
they
we
the
price
they
price
out
at
about
8500
a
month,
and
it
would
cost
us
about
a
hundred
and
two
thousand
dollars
a
year
to
put
one
of
those
units
on
that
site.
N
So
we
are,
we
did
talk
about
potentially
putting
the
hand
washing
stations
the
we
can
get
that
you
have
the
cordage
on
and
then
you
have
an
outside
hand
washing
station.
We
can
look
into
that
and
look
at
the
cost
of
that
one
of
the
things
we
are
thinking
of
this
as
at
any
of
our
festivals,
where
we
have
food
and
stuff.
You
know
we
do
provide
porta-johns,
but
we
hear
the
concern
and
we'll
look
at
the
the
hand,
washing
stations.
Thank.
O
You
president
Boren
Thank
You
assistant
superintendent
barrack
for
the
presentation,
I'm
very
excited
to
see
this
moving
forward
so
quickly
and
I
appreciate
Commissioner
Muses
witch's
questions
about
the
hand-washing
station.
I
just
want
to
say
overall,
more
generally
I'm
really
hopeful
that
we
can
get
a
more
robust
bathroom
space
by
next
spring.
Given
the
fact
that
this
is
such
a
high
frequency
area
and
and
to
that
food
point
is
I,
think
pretty
critical,
but
in
the
meantime
and
may
be
ongoing,
I
think
the
urban
chic
look
is
a
great
way
to
go.
M
AA
Boren
Commissioner
Florida
we're
actually
researching
that
and
we
have
an
architect
looking
into
the
the
regulations
related
to
our
ability
to
rebuild
on
a
foundation.
We
don't
have
a
complete
answer
to
that.
Yet,
and
it's
leaving
the
foundation
there
was
predicated
on
the
possibility
of
us
rebuild
and
closer
to
the
lake
than
would
be
otherwise
allowed
under
the
shoreland
ordinance.
AA
President
park,
commissioner
40,
we
have
set
left
setbacks
from
lakes
depending
upon
the
types
of
lakes.
Every
Lake
in
Minnesota
has
those
kind
of
setbacks,
and
when
we
were
going
through
the
process
of
looking
at
a
restroom
to
replace
the
restrooms
and
lola's,
if
you
recall,
when
we're
going
through
kind
of
a
strategic
planning
exercise
for
this
location,
we're
required
to
place
that
restaurant
I
believe
75
feet
from
the
ordinary
high
water
mark.
AA
AA
President
poorni,
it
is
the
city's
ordinance
and
there
are
several
provisions
around
that
relating
to
setbacks,
heights
and
other
factors
really
just
stormwater
management,
and
while
the
building
proceeded
any
even
model
ordinances
from
the
states
from
the
state
of
Minnesota
from
the
DNR,
we
load
into
the
sort
of
shoreline
ordinance.
It
is
in
place
now,
and
we
may
be
obligated
to
follow
that.
But
we
don't
know
we
may
be
able
to
rebuild.
If
we
can
demonstrate
that
there
was
a
building
and
that
there
was
a
foundation
there
closer
than
what
would
otherwise
be
allowed
and.
M
AA
President
Park
pusher
for
knee
it,
the
construction
type,
is
a
slap
on
grave,
but
even
a
slab
on
grade
has
foundations
that
would
support
the
walls
or
the
surrounding
walls.
So
when
you
look
at
the
pictures,
you
can
find
evidence
of
block
block
walls
and
posts
and
others
features
that
would
suggest
the
locations
of
the
footings
that
supported
the
building.
Okay,.
AA
Born
we're
40,
we
are
not
there
yet,
but
part
of
it.
We
part
of
what
we
would
need
to
analyze.
First
is
our
ability
to
place
a
building
in
a
location
where
we
had
a
building
and
then
most
certainly
going
back
and
looking
at
not
only
the
ability
of
any
foundation
structures
to
support
a
new
building,
but
also
looking
at
changes
in
codes
that
might
have
happened
since
the
building
was
originally
constructed.
Thank.
M
You
for
all
this
research
and
I'm,
not
sure
who
I
should
be
addressing
this
to,
but
somehow
I
think
this
is
council,
rice
and
council
raised
our
contract
with
Lola's,
but
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
breaching
anything
there.
If,
if
we
are,
if
you
perceive
any,
shall
we
say
liability
that
we
haven't
fulfilled?
Let's
say
our
side
of
the
agreement.
M
Thank
you,
I
appreciate
that
I
mean
these
are
all
things
that
you
know.
People
are
asking
me
and,
and
I
just
want
us
to
be
prudent
in
each
step.
We
go
I
agree
that
you
know
anyway,
we
can
provide
services
I've
advocated
for
a
long
time.
You
know
water
bathrooms
whatever,
but
I
think
you
know
number
one
is
electricity
to
get
there,
particularly
considering
the
generators
that
are
there
sound
whatever?
Is
it
so
it
whatever
I
just
I
appreciate
that
that
is
gonna,
be
something
that's
gonna
be
cured
soon,
and
thank
you
for
the
follow-up.
N
A
Thank
you,
assistant,
superintendent,
barek
I.
Just
have
one
really
brief
question
and
I
apologize
if
I
missed
it,
while
I
stepped
away
for
a
moment,
but
we're
it's
my
understanding
that
we're
we're
clearing
the
deck
in
two
phases
and
that
we
will
be
that
all
the
fences
are
coming
down
sooner
than
later
can
did
I
miss
that
in
your
presentation,
can
you
it?
Can
you
address
that
I.
N
AA
N
A
A
A
Think
we
can
make
a
little
bit
better
of
an
experience
for
folks
by
spending
a
little
bit
of
money
on
on
renting
that
in
the
in
the
interim
and
it's
ideal
excited,
but
also
leery
about
actually
installing
a
permanent
bathroom
fixture
until
we
have
our
until
we
have
an
entire
plan
in
place.
But
there
are
some
pretty
high-end.
There's
some
pretty
high-end
rentable
rentable
options
there's,
so
you
can
look
at
that
as
part
of
it.
N
It
you
have
a
response,
I'm
happy
to
hear
it:
okay,
okay,
yeah!
So
president
weren't,
we
we
Shane
researched
that
already
and
found
that,
as
about
8,500
a
month
for
the
standard,
three
stall
ad,
a
accessible
entrance
exit,
6mi,
heated
and
cooled,
but
they
they're
they're
costly
at
8500
a
month,
I
believe
the
the
Biff's
we're
currently
using
run
us
about
ninety
a
month,
mm-hmm.
So
there's
a
given
concert.
We
can
explore
that
and
try
to
find
funding.
If
that's
what
you're
suggesting
we
can
look
at
that,
but
it
is
costly.
Yeah.
A
Are
there
any
other
questions
for
any
of
our
system?
Superintendents
on
this
report
item
seeing
none
thank
you
for
the
thank
you
for
the
presentation
and
we're
excited
that
it's
we're
excited
that
it's
open
and
with
that
we're
gonna
have
an
expanded
footprint
this
weekend.
Moving
on
I
would
entertain
a
resolution.
I.
A
2019
3:05
has
been
moved.
Is
there
a
second?
Second,
it's
been
moved
and
seconded.
Is
there
any
discussion?
I
didn't
see
who
went
first,
but
just
for
the
public
record.
Are
all
commissioners
participating
in
this
discussion
and
a
vote
I'm
seeing
a
Commissioner
for
Nia?
Are
you
recusing
yourself
from
this
item?
Let
the
record
show
that
Commissioner
forney
is
refusing
herself
in
2019
3:05
I
didn't
see
the
sequence
of
lights,
I,
see
Commissioner
Myer,
followed
by
the
table
by
Porter.
G
Thank
You
president
important
I
supported
this
resolution
because
I
believe
the
conservation
district
in
question
is
a
backdoor
attempt
to
override
the
2040
plan.
You
know
this
location
is
very
close
to
Fatima
Costco.
It's
also
a
five
minutes
away
from
the
proposed
light
rail
station
to
the
station
grocery
store
restaurants,
lots
of
other
amenities.
G
There
are
very
few
locations
in
the
city
that
have
such
good
access
to
both
parks
and
public
transit.
So
I
believe
we
should
welcome
more
people
to
live
close
to
our
parks
and
I
prefer
that
they
be
able
to
access
our
parks
with
public
transit
instead
of
cars.
So
that's
why
you
know
I
believe
that
this
is
a
place
that
is
appropriate
for
more
houses
to
be
built.
G
This
is
something
that
has
come
to
us
before
this
exact
same
area
was
the
context
for
the
discussion,
we're
not
lots
of
people
and
we
have
dozens
of
people.
Emailing
us
coming
to
open
time
to
talk
about
the
city
stance
on
the
shoreland
overlay
in
in
the
2040
plan.
Saying
that
you
know
the
the
2040
plan
is
overriding
the
city's
shoreline
overlay
and
we
should
have
a
you
know,
a
letter
in
opposition
to
that
and
so
I.
You
know
researched
into
the
shoreline
overlay
and
came
back
with
the
opinion
that
mr.
G
Arland
overlay
wasn't
doing
anything
to
group
water
quality,
and
that
was
not
a
good
reason
to
oppose
the
changes
in
this
particular
area
because
it
wasn't,
you
know,
a
very
accessible
area
for
public
transit.
So
you
know
a
lot
of
the
same
people
who
came
and
spoke
today
had
previously
contacted
us
to
get
us
involved
in
the
opposite
direction,
so
I
believe
it.
This
is
an
appropriate
thing
for
us
to
be
commenting
on
I
feel
the
vice
president.
Becker
actually
made
that
case.
G
For
me,
with
their
comments
about
you
know,
the
parks
should
be
involved
in
shoreline
overlay
or
the
the
parks
should
protect
vistas
I.
Am
you
know
what?
If
we
believe
that
we
should
add
to
the
Vista
dome
with
a
few
more
towers,
like
I
mean,
if
it's
irrelevant
on
that
side,
then
it
should
be
relevant
on
both
sides,
and
you
know
this
is
something
that
I
think
things
should
be
talking
about
it.
G
You
know
also
in
the
context
of
identification
like
if
we're
concerned
about
identification
elsewhere
in
the
city,
then
we
should
think
about.
Where
is
that?
We
want
development
to
be
placed,
and
this
is
a
place
that
is
immune
from
typification,
because
already
very
wealthy
area,
so
I
support
this
resolution.
I
believe
we
need
to,
you
know,
adopt
the
position
that
we
welcome
people
living
close
to
our
parks.
Thank
you.
Thank.
F
You
president
Boren
I
am
not
in
support
of
resolution.
2019,
305
I
believe.
If
we
pass
this
resolution
and
say
this
space
is
within
our
authority.
That
I
mean
I
I
think
I'd
be
worried
that
any
planet
and
land-use
issues
could
come
before
the
board
in
the
future.
I
also
believe
that
this
will
take
up
lots
of
staff
time
and
our
time
as
a
board
and
I
feel
like
we
have
other
things.
We
can
be
working
on
I
love
to
say
to
people
that
we're
a
neighbor
to
all
neighborhoods.
F
So
this
argument
that
you
know
just
this
one
particular
place
we're
neighbors
to
everyone
in
the
city.
There's
a
parking
ten
minute
walking
distance
from
everyone
who
lives
here.
So
that's
why
I'm
fearful
that
anyone
can
show
up,
and
the
last
thing
I
just
think
this
is
an
issue
for
the
Planning
Commission
and
not
an
issue
for
the
Park
Board
Thank.
O
You
president
Boren
I
appreciate
Commissioner
Vito's
comments
and
Commissioner
Meyers
comments.
I
personally
am
NOT
going
to
be
supporting
this
resolution.
I
would
say
that
overall
I
am
a
major
supporter
of
the
vision
of
a
sustainable
region
by
building
close
to
the
core,
especially
along
a
transit
route.
I,
just
don't
believe
that
in
this
current
state
and
the
MPR
be,
is
really
in
a
position
as
a
body
to
comment
on
this
I
encourage
all
of
my
fellow
commissioners
to
go
to
the
HBC
and
to
lobby
me
at
the
Planning
Commission.
O
A
You,
commissioner
kögel,
is
there
any
other
discussion
on
2019
3:05,
seeing
none
I'll
just
share
some
of
my
thoughts.
The
some
folks
had
asked
had
made
the
assertion.
There's
nothing
wrong
with
this
application.
I
certainly
agree.
This
is
the
Minneapolis
do
have
this
within
their
right
to
make
an
application,
as
we
are
asked
to
do,
and
to
Commissioner
Meyers
point
as
we're
asked
to
do
with
many
things
that
have
potential
impact
on
parkland.
A
We're
often
asked
by
constituents
to
weigh
in
on
what
that
potential
impact
is
the
I
I
do
have
a
little
bit
of
concern
that
one
there's
there's
some
discrepancy
as
to
whether
or
not
the
Minneapolis
Park
Board
is
an
immediately
impacted,
neighbor
I'm,
relying
on
the
applicant
statement
in
the
application
themselves
that
says
that
the
boundary
is
confined
by.
But
what
is
now
bday
Mecosta
Parkway.
So
the
application
stated
that
we
are
a
directly
impacted
neighbor.
A
A
That
I
think
falls
within
the
purview
of
the
Park
Board.
Reconciling
that
with
our
this
boards
comments
that
we
unanimously
passed
on
the
2040
plan
that
said
in
this
in
these
particular
areas,
we
do
want
people
that
have
access
to
live
closer
to
parks,
I'm
additionally
concerned
at
the
number
of
requests
that
I've
had
from
what
is
currently
called
the
West
Calhoun
neighborhood,
but
they
have
approved.
They
have
approved
changing
their
name,
but
I'm
really
concerned
about
the
deck
of
request
that
I've
received
as
the
district
six
Commissioner
to
make
investments
in
neighborhood
amenity
level.
A
Investments
in
that
regional
park,
the
parkland
dedication
fees
will,
if
there
are
any
generated
from
this
and
there's.
This
action
today
may
very
likely
generate
nothing.
But
I'm
also
concerned
that
that
there's
consistent
ask
from
neighbors,
and
this
could
limit
some
of
our
tools
to
provide
that
the
I
also
take
heart
and
the
fact
that
the
shoreland
overlay
still
exists
and
the
Minneapolis
Park
Board
is
an
advocate
and
an
ally
of
the
Shore
land
overlay
district
and
that
I
think
that
there
are,
if
the
park
board
weighs
in
on
this,
that
supports
our
previous
positions.
A
There
are
still
for
the
folks
that
live
in
West,
Calhoun
I,
don't
envision
ten
story
skyscrapers
happening
in
this
area.
I
think
that
this
resolution
reinforces
a
position
that
the
board
has
unanimously
taken
and
I
will
be
asking
commissioners
to
support.
This
there's
also
been
comments
about
why
this
one
and
not
previous
ones,
I
think
that
that's
a
failure
of
our
system
if
there
are
applications
that
are
coming
through,
that
have
potential
impact
on
the
many
on
Minneapolis
parkland.
A
We
should
be
reviewing
those
the
in
every
bit
that
a
house
three
doors
away
from
the
Minneapolis
Park
Board
is
not
adjacent
to
the
Minneapolis
Park
board.
It's
still
within
the
shoreland
overlay
district,
and
we
should
we
still
very
much
care
about
the
development
that
happens.
That
happens
there
and
I
think
that
effectively,
I
think
that
knife
cuts
both
ways
and
the
so
I
appreciate
Commissioner
Meyer
and
in
bringing
this
resolution
forward.
A
I
understand
that
it
is
a
difficult
issue
for
us
to
weigh
in
on,
but
I
think
it's
a
worthwhile
issue
for
us
to
weigh
in
on
I
think
that
if
there
are
more
of
these
that
are
coming
forward,
that
have
potential
impact
on
parkland,
we
should
be.
We
should
be
examining
that
that
potential
impact
is
so
seeing
no
further
discussion.

So.
F
We
had
our
second
police
advisory
council
meeting
I
attended
both
of
the
meetings
and
I
had
conversations
with
some
of
the
appointees
and
told
them
that
I
would
speak
to
the
board
about
some
of
the
concerns
and
also
some
of
the
changes
they
would
like
to
see
as
a
part
of
the
police
advisory
committee.
So
some
of
the
things
that
have
come
up
already
is
that
we
need
some
admin
support
for
radius,
who
is
doing
a
wonderful
job
at
facilitating
the
meetings?
F
None
of
the
really
want
to
take
notes,
so
they
feel
like
we
should
have
parkour
staff
there
to
help
with
to
help
radius
in
the
administrative
roles
to
take
notes.
The
group
would
also
like
a
budget
for
this
part
police
committee.
They
are
concerned
that,
whatever
ideas
they
do
come
up
with,
that,
they
won't
be
able
to
fund
them
if
money
is
needed,
so
they
would
appreciate
some
sort
of
a
budget
for
this
also,
they
would
like
money
for
food.
We've
had
a
couple
conversations
about
multiple
trainings.
F
One
of
the
one
of
the
members
of
the
committee
would
like
her
mom
to
do
a
training
around
white
supremacy
and
the
history
of
policing
for
the
committee
in
order
to
move
forward.
Another
training
has
been
proposed
that
we
should
reach
out
to
voices
for
racial
justice
to
do
some
implicit
bias,
training
and
different.
Just
look
for
opportunities
for
additional
training.
F
What
has
come
up
in
this
advisory
committee
is
that
it
may
be
difficult
to
move
forward
if
we
don't
have
the
trainings
that
they're
asking
to
be
provided,
and
some
of
the
other
things
that
they've
asked
for
in
these
trainings
and
so
I
just
want
to
let
commissioners
know
these
are
the
things
that
are
being
talked
about
in
this
meeting.
So
I
don't
know
how
we
address
these
concerns,
but
I
want
everybody
to
know
that
these
are
concerns
rather
mean
for
the
for
this
group.
F
G
You
I
had
a
great
time
on
the
slow-roll
touring
the
upper
terminal
site
yesterday
and
riding
our
bikes
all
around
North
Minneapolis.
We
had
about
70
people
and
they
do
that
every
few
weeks
so
I
encouraged
everyone
else
go
to
try
that
sometime.
I
was
also
honored
to
be
at
the
at
the
groundbreaking
breaking
for
the
survivors
memorial
a
couple
weeks
ago,
and
then
one
other
ribbon-cutting
that
will
be
coming
up
soon
is
the
Sheridan
memorial
playground
which,
being
on
October
5th,
so
I
invite
all
the
commissioners
to
put
that
on
your
calendar.
Thank
you.
G
O
You
president
born
I
appreciate
Commissioner
vitas
comments
about
the
Park
Police
advisory
council
I
think
it's
really
critical
that
this
advisory
council
continues
and
does
good
work,
and
it
sounds
like
there.
A
couple
of
hurdles
so
I
look
forward
to
continuing
conversations
with
Commissioner
Vita
with
radius
and
with
the
Park
Police
Chief
of
Hado
on
how
we
can
move
past
some
of
these
roadblocks.
O
A
couple
other
updates,
City
Planning
Commission
met
on
Monday.
There
were
no
projects
being
considered
that
had
immediate
adjacent
impacts
to
parks,
though
I
was
excited
to
see
that
the
O'shaughnessy
distillery
was
approved,
which
is
going
to
be
next
to
the
current
site
of
surly
brewing
in
commissioner
myers
district.
Just
because
we'll
have
another
distillery
and
it
might
be
fun
to
go
there.
Commissioner,
Myer
and
I
also
want
to
thank
staff
for
all
the
tireless
work
on
the
self-service
area.
Master
planning
project.
O
There
have
been
a
couple
of
I
think
happily
contentious
meetings
about
the
vision
for
our
neighborhood
parks
debate
has
been
intense
and
people
really
care
about
the
vision
for
the
future
of
these
park.
Spaces
I'm
really
looking
forward
to
seeing
what
comes
out
of
the
Community
Advisory
Committee
process
and
I'm
hopeful
to
see
that
wrap
up
here
quickly,
so
that
we
can
get
to
our
45-day
comment
period
and
really
be
talking
about
finalized
concepts.
O
I
just
want
to
be
clear
to
those
who
are
concerned
about
the
couple
of
major
areas
in
my
district,
including
the
mall
park,
and
also
parade
the
parade
complex,
that
you
know
we're
still
in
iterative
design
phase
in
some
ways,
and
we
don't
have
a
final
plan
for
that
those
spaces
and
it's
my
opinion
that
we
need
to
stick
to
our
engagement
process
and
I.
Look
forward
along
with
my
fellow
commissioners
in
evaluating
the
final
draft
plan
that
comes
forward
and
finally
I
attended
a
meeting
state
bee
meeting
around
Franklin
steel
Park
last
week.
O
Franklin
steel
is
really
dealing
with
some
some
incredible
issues
right
now:
around
crime
and
safety,
especially
around
overdoses
and
folks,
that
are
really
struggling
with
some
mental
health
and
addiction
issues
who
use
that
Park
a
lot,
and
it
is
impressive
to
see
the
neighborhood
group
step
up
and
hold
space
for
conversation.
It's
been
really
impressive
to
see
what
Newman
the
director
at
Elliot
Park
has
done
to
try
to
activate
that
space
and
what
it
frankly,
all
the
staff
has
done
to
step
up
this
year.
I
think
there's
a
lot
more.
That
needs
to
be
done.
O
You
know
we
we've,
unfortunately,
taken
away
some
of
the
assets
of
the
park
in
an
attempt
to
address
in
the
short
term
some
of
the
concerns
around
safety
in
the
space
and
I.
Don't
think
that's
a
long-term,
tenable
solution
and
the
fact
that
we,
just
in
the
last
week
have
lost
the
use
of
the
splash
pad
is
just
insult
to
injury
at
this
already
kind
of
under-served
park.
O
C
Guess
I
also
attended
the
survival's
Memorial
at
Milan
great
event,
great
speakers,
and
it
was
nice
to
see
the
combination
of
a
lot
of
hard
work
that
folks
from
the
community
and
together
got
to
do
I
want
to
address
some
concerns
that
I
had
about
the
Southside
union
contract
attic.
We
had
last
year
that
was
extreme.
J
J
C
Day
in
a
in
I
think
it
was
September,
I
mean
it's
a
temporal
August
last
year
and
it
was
a
great
event
and
I
really
stressed
about
how
the
park
board
need
to
participate.
The
more
events
like
that
and
become
more
community
focused
and
communities
that
haven't
necessarily
got
that
as
much
of
attention
and
patta.
So
I
was
called,
maybe
about
a
week
ago
to
find
out
that
the
plans
for
this
event
had
had
been
changed
and
there
was
there
were
some
I
guess
there
was
some
ball
dropping.
C
It
happened,
maybe
a
couple
months
ago
about
funding
and
I
wish
with
folks
when
that
came
in
and
expressed
those
intrados.
Those
concerns
put
folks
from
the
park
board,
so
we
could
have
done
something
about
it.
Now
we're
two
days
out
and
we
don't
have.
We
don't
have
the
folks
that
could
participate
in
this
event
actually
participate
because
of
funding
issues.
C
M
Guess
I
will
support
Commissioner
details,
concerns
regarding
the
police
advisory
committee
and
whatever
I
can
do
to
help
that
the
make
sure
that
the
outcomes
are
I,
don't
want
to
say
positive,
but
productive
I
think
we
all,
as
commissioner
should
be
supportive
of
that
and
I
also
wanted
to
support
Commissioner
kögel's
comments
about
the
Southwest
service
area.
Master
planning.
The
process
has
been
incredibly
robust,
I'm
very
appreciative
of
all
the
community
input
and
would
just
want
to
again
remind
everybody
that
it
has
not
concluded.
M
Nothing
has
been
stated
and
that
we
do
continue
to
welcome
your
input
regarding
that
I
forward
on
to
staff
and
council
rice
at
the
northwest
corner
of
the
day
macaca,
it's
called
the
Northwest
athletic
field.
It
is
presently
a
lake
and
across
adjacent
to
that
is
a
virtually
continuous
flow
of
water.
Coming
from
a
sump
pump
from
one
of
the.
M
Which
we
say
below
medium
priced
condominiums
that
are
adjacent
to
that
it
just
it
just
enrages
me
so
I
just
don't
understand
this.
We,
the
parks,
are
taking
this
discharge,
and
my
understanding
is
that
this
condominium
association
needs
to
have
a
permit
with
the
city
and
yet
we're
the
ones
who
are
taking
I
think
the
discharge,
so
it
just
it's
just
that
circular
Battle
of
whatever
were
the
recipient
of
all
the
water
runoff,
and
you
know
it
has
impacted
that
particular
field
now
for
I.
M
M
It
never
has
appeared
in
any
packet,
and
these
are
very
critical
issues
that
have
been
requested
of
us
by
people
who
we
partner
with
that.
We
you
know,
want
to
continue
to
partner
with
it's
already
been
spoken
about
tonight,
but
this
Heritage
Preservation
application,
letterhead
letter
went
out
to
that
body,
and
yet
it
was
not
included
in
the
packet
once
again.
So
I
really
was
like
to
remind
people
that
if
you
are
sending
things
out
and
our
letterhead
it
please
keep
us
all
informed
includes
them
in
our
packet.
M
H
You
president
Boren
I'll
be
brief.
I
met
with
sergeant
Dave
O'conner
from
the
Minneapolis
Police
Department
last
week,
and
he
works
in
a
group
called
the
black
friends
project
with
some
people.
I
identify
particularly
my
community,
as
leaders
in
our
community,
such
as
Mike
Walker,
the
executive
director
of
black
brown
student
achievement
with
Minneapolis
Public
Schools.
They
approached
me-
and
this
is
a
group
comprised
of
Minneapolis
police
and
community
members
and
I-
was
approached
particularly
because
I
have
some
interest
in
trying
to
figure
out
ways
to
deal
with
homelessness
and
the
harshest
months
of
winter.
H
So
I
look
forward
in
the
next
couple
weeks
to
present
some
other
ideas
and
I
hope.
You
guys
share
some
of
the
values,
so
we
can
be
a
participant
in
perhaps
not
solving
homelessness,
but
make
it
a
little
easier
for
those
individuals
who
are
experiencing
homelessness
at
that
time.
They
are
also
interested
and
trying
to
figure
out
a
way
to
make
North
Commons
some
part
more
accessible
to
the
community,
and
that
is
something
that
we
that
excuse
me
that
I'd
like
to
propose
to
you
folks
in
the
future.
H
As
soon
as
we
come
to
terms
on
what
that
looks
like
with
that,
I
also
wanted
to
say
that
I
wanted
to
thank
my
fellow
board
members
this
evening
for
being
able
to
disagree
and
and
have
actually
good
debate
and
I
hope
that
this
board
continues
to
move
forward
and
be
respectful
towards
each
other.
Thank
you.
E
I
just
wanted
to
provide
my
colleagues
with
a
little
bit
of
context
around
the
boulders
in
Minnehaha
Creek
that
we
were
brought
before
the
courts
by
mr.
Filene
about
those
boulders
were
placed
to
prevent
erosion
that
was
occurring
within
Minnehaha
Creek.
With
the
consultation
of
the
watershed
district,
they
also
were
preventing
the
erosion
of
bridge
foundations.
So
that's
that
was
really
all
I
was
hoping
that
assistant
superintendent
Schroeder
share
with
you.
E
I'd
also
like
to
request
that
the
rec
committee
chair
request
staff
to
report
to
provide
a
staff
report
on
potential
policy
that
we
should
be
enacting
as
a
board
around
tackle
football
and
other
contact
sports.
There
been
a
number
of
articles
in
the
national
news
recently
about
the
impacts
of
contact
sport
on
young
people
and
their
long-term
mental
health
and
cognitive
ability.
For
example,
children
that
begin
playing
tackle
football
before
the
age
of
12
have
increased
odds
for
clinical
depression.
E
Apathy
and
executive
function,
process
problems,
including
diminished
insight
judgment
and
multitasking
children
that
are
participating
before
the
age
of
12
in
contact
sports
also
exhibit
behavioral
and
move
problems
at
full
13
years
earlier
than
children.
That
begin,
participating
in
these
sports
at
the
age
of
12
and
that
every
year,
younger
than
that
age
and
someone's
exposed
to
tackle
football,
the
start
of
cognitive
problems
were
demonstrated
to
begin
two
point.
E
I
believe
it's
important
for
us
to
fully
understand
the
research
that's
available
on
this
subject
and
that
we
determine
what
sort
of
sports
opportunities
we
would
like
to
provide
and
policies
around
that
to
ensure
that
we
are
not
inadvertently
exposing
children
to
long
term
cognitive
impacts
by
the
offerings
that
we
provide.
So
if
we
could
take
that
up
in
committee,
I
would
really
appreciate
it.
E
I'm
also
in
to
thank
mr.
Vita
for
sharing
that
update
on
the
police,
Advisory
Commission
I
believe
it's
really
important
that
we
all
remain
abreast
of
the
work.
That's
being
done,
they're
a
little
concerned
about
nepotism
or
the
perception
of
nepotism
by
hiring
family
members
of
participants
on
that
committee
or
staff
on
that
committee.
So
I
prefer
that
we,
if
we
are
going
to
engage
consultants,
follow
park,
board
policy
and
work
to
do
an
RFP
or
or
just
ensure
that
it's
a
fair
and
transparent
process
that
we're
utilizing
to
hire
people
that
will
be
training.
E
F
Briefly,
Thank
You
president
bluffer,
instructed
me
that
all
I
needed
to
do
was
turn
my
light
back
on.
If
I
wanted
to
speak
again,
I
forgot
some
very
important
things.
First
off
I
want
to
thank
officers,
James,
cannon,
Payton,
Lauber
and
Justin
Brown
I'm.
Sure
commissioners
got
an
email
that
the
park
police
apprehended
a
suspect
in
the
parks.
That
was
a
very
wanted
person.
So
I
really
appreciate
their
service
and
very
thankful
that.
J
F
Park
duties
worked
very
hard
for
that
to
happen.
Also,
on
a
much
lighter
note,
May
Brooks,
our
Director
of
Human
Service
about
human
resources,
did
the
YMCA
triathlon
and
maze.
Not
a
swimmer
she's
learned
how
to
swim
more
recently
and
she
swam
across
Lake
Nokomis.
So
that
is
I
know
right.
That's
pretty
spectacular!
That
was
really
good
and
also
James
Barrow
and
his
team
for
taking
care
of
our
trees
they've
been
doing
a
lovely
job
awesome.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
You,
commissioner
Veta
just
a
couple
of
things:
the
members
of
staff
and
I
attended
the
mayor's
budget
presentation.
Last
week,
the
mayor's
proposed
a
city
levy
increase
in
6.9,
X
percent,
a
levy
increase
for
the
city
and
a
5
and
3/4
increase
for
the
Minneapolis
Park
and
Recreation
Board.
We're
still
running
some
numbers
to
see
the
impact
on
current
service
level.
A
The
outside
of
the
context
of
just
the
levy
increase
the
city
of
Minneapolis
is
operating
budget
because
of
some
pension
savings
that
council
race
was
very
helpful
in
in
getting
the
city
of
Minneapolis
we'll
be
enjoying
somewhere
around
a
or
realizing
somewhere
or
in
the
neighborhood
of
about
a
14%
increase
to
their
general
to
their
general
operating
budget.
So
there's
a
little
bit
of
disparity
there
that
we'll
be
working
on
in
the
next.
A
In
the
next
couple
months,
at
the
board
of
estimate
and
Taxation,
two
of
the
board
of
estimate
and
Taxation
I
mentioned
last
week
that
there
was
a
staff
posting
position
on
the
board
of
estimate
of
Taxation
is
moving
forward
with
hiring
for
a
part-time
position.
15
24
25
hours
a
week,
the
projected
rate
comes
out
to
somewhere
between
50
and
65
thousand
dollars
a
year,
so
not
entirely
sure
how
that
number
was
arrived
at.
But
if
somebody's
looking
for
a
pretty
awesome
part-time
job,
it
also
sounds
like
they're
trying
to
fast-track
the
hiring
there.
A
So
I
encourage
folks.
The
job
posting
is
posted
on
the
Council
of
nonprofits
website
and
a
few
other
places
right
now.
It
seems
like
a
pretty
great
job.
I
also
had
the
honor
of
attending
the
survivors
memorial
and
having
the
opportunity
to
speak.
I
am
very
grateful
of
the
anonymous
support
that
this
board
gave
to
really
stand
our
values
and
standing
standing
with
survivors.
It
was
a
beautiful
event.
A
Thank
you
to
commissioners
and
council
rice
for
attending
the
retirement
party
last
week
for
a
for
Kevin
moody,
who
was
the
lifetime
employee
of
the
Minneapolis
Park
and
Recreation
Board
and
and
longtime
business
agent
for
the
laborers
363.
It
was
I
just
want
to
thank
him
for
his
lifetime
of
service
to
the
Minneapolis
Park
Board.
A
The
that
is
all
that
I
have
so
I
would
entertain
a
motion
to
adjourn.
It's
been
moved.
Is
there
a
second
all,
those
in
favor
of
adjournment?
Oh
I,
actually
have
one
more
thing:
if
I
can
have
some
forgiveness
on
petitions
and
communications
I
had
misspoke
earlier
before
we
take
that
vote.
Commissioner
Meyer
did
not
bring
forward
resolution
305
that
we
just
voted
on
and
I.
He
pointed
out
that
I
had
said
that
during
that
I
said
that
he
brought
that
forward.
Commissioner
Meyer
didn't
move
the
resolution.
A
The
I
had
asked
staff
to
bring
that
forward
based
on
some
concerns
that
I
had
heard
from
the
community.
So
I
appreciate
Commissioner
minors
support,
but
just
to
clarify
he
did
not
bring
the
resolution.
He
was
not
the
genesis
of
diversity,
so
my
apologies
for
miss
speaking
they're,
going
out
of
order
all
of
those
in
favor
of
adjournment,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
opposed
abstentions.
We
are
adjourned.
C
C
M
L

AD
So
update
on
our
youth
line,
staffing
model
you'd
lend
staff
had
their
staffing
structure,
reassigned
to
reports
to
the
recreation
service
area
managers,
effective
September,
1st
2019.
These
staff
will
be
moving
from
the
Youth
Development
Department
into
the
recreation,
centers
and
programs
department,
their
assignments
and
the
recreation
centers
that
they're
currently
and
are
not
Betty
broad.
AD
Those
are
the
sites
where
the
twelve
field
youth
line
staff
are
assigned
to
currently,
and
just
for
looks
just
for
your
reference
updated
organizational
chart.
The
orange
is
where
there's
been
a
shift
from
previous,
so
the
youth
line
staff
to
see
under
the
service
area,
managers
and
the
rest
of
the
organization
search
primarily
stays
the
same.
AD
Then
I
have
a
brief
update
on
full
service
community
schools,
many
of
the
men
and
most
of
this
information
here
last
Thursday
night
at
our
joint
MDR
BMPs
board
meeting.
But
there
are
a
couple
of
updates
since
then,
as
you're
aware,
the
Bethune
Community
School
is
our
partnership
site
that
we're
going
to
be
working
on.
We
are
happy
to
announce
that
we
have
made
a
job
offer
and
there's
been
an
acceptance
by
Vanessa
Vanessa
guild.
First
start
date
is
going
to
be
September
3rd
until
Vanessa
begins.
AD
I
will
be
the
point
of
contact
for
the
MPR
be
with
MPs
next
week.
I
will
be
attending
all
of
the
Minneapolis
Public
Schools
full
service,
community
schools,
trainings
with
Patrice
Howard
and
a
few
of
the
representatives
friend
yes
and
then
hopefully,
I
will
be
able
to
maintain
that
information
and
pass
it
on
the
best
I
can
to
Vanessa
when
she
starts
on
the
third
and
then
keep
assistant
superintendent
Cox
in
the
loop
when
she
returns
from
leave
in
a
few
weeks.
AD
So
our
next
steps
with
the
Bethune
Community
School
are
to
onboard
the
site
coordinator,
which
will
happen
right
after
Labor
Day
collaborate
with
MPs,
and
we
hope
that
next
week
we'll
have
some
more
information
after
the
trainings
and
the
meetings
with
the
public
schools
and
develop
our
marketing
and
communication
plan
and
just
a
few
notes,
the
things
that
have
happened
to
pass
oon
over
the
course
of
the
summer.
There
was
a
town
hall
for
the
community
school
at
the
Sumner
library
on
July
10th.
AD
There
they
did
some
phone
banking
on
the
24th
and
the
1st
for
all
of
the
full
service.
Community
Schools
and
they've
just
began
asset
mapping
with
potential
partners
to
support
all
the
goals
of
the
full
service,
Community
Schools.
So
that
is
the
brief
update
on
both
of
these
topics
and
if
you
have
any
questions,
I
will
do
my
best
to
answer
them.
AD
C
C
F
You
Commissioner
French,
chair,
French
I'm,
not
on
this
committee,
but
I
I
guess
I
have
a
concern.
So
I
don't
know.
Maybe
like
a
month
or
so
ago
we
had
a
presentation
about
use
line
and
that
we
would
get
some
updates
in
the
fall
on
how
to
move
forward.
So
I
guess
I'm
a
little
confused
on
where
the
decision
was
made
to
make
changes.
Before
we
had
the
follow-up
presentation
in
the
fall
right,
I
think
I
mean
I
just.
B
B
F
I
just
want
to
say
that
I'm
super
concerned
about
these
changes
already,
especially
since
assistant
superintendent
Cox,
is
not
at
work,
and
this
is
her
department
and
she
is
the
person
who
gave
us
the
presentation
about
the
upcoming
changes
and
from
what
I
remember
about
the
presentation,
there
was
going
to
be
no
changes.
So
if
staff
even
so
happened
to
look
at
the
meeting,
they
probably
thought
nothing
would
be
different
until
the
fall
at
the
earliest.
So
I'm
just
super
concerned
that
we
we
had
this
conversation
several
minutes
ago.
F
I
remember
being
told
that
we
would
not.
We
had
a
presentation
on
what
we
found
about
youth
line.
I
have
many
concerns
about
you'd
like
the
youth
line
and
want
to
see
it
go
in
a
different
place,
but
I'm
even
more
concerned
now
that
there
has
been
changes
specifically
while
assistant
superintendent,
Cox
is
out
of
work
and
there's
been
all
like
this
new
workflow
chart
is
very
seems
to
be
very
different
to
me.
Then.
The
previous
workshop
Thank.
H
You,
chair
friends,
so
I'm
super
excited
and
a
huge
advocate
of
you
flying
and
I
think
that
we
have
underfunded
you
fight
for
years
and
I.
Think
the
whole
city
should
take
a
more
keen
interest
and
you
find
in
their
successes
in
the
past
and
the
possible
success
in
the
future,
but
we
have
to
figure
out
a
way
to
fund
it
and
one
thing
that
I
think
that
the
park
board
did.
H
Is
they
watered
down
you
find
four
or
five
years
ago
and
the
way
that
I
believe
that
they
watered
them
down
was
by
making
you
flying
staff
go
to
two
parts
or
even
three
parts?
I
I've
heard
that
I
don't
know
how
true
that
is,
but
as
I
look
at
this
chart,
he
pulled
one
back
up
at
where
youth
line
is
I.
H
H
These
these
folks
are
hard-working
folks
working
with
our
teenagers
right
and
I
love
the
way
that
the
north
side
is
set
up
and
that
each
one
you
know
AG
in
flying
has
basically
one
part
that
they're
in
charge
of
I
would
like
to
see
that
have
been
in
other
parts
of
the
city
as
well.
So
the
staff
can
put
a
zoomed
in
focus
on
particularly
teenagers
in
that
Recreation,
Center
and
and
instead
of
splitting
them
in
half.
How
do
we
in
the
future
think
about
a
better
way
to
fund
the
future
of
our
city
right?
C
Thank
You
commissioners
seriously:
are
they
any
other
questions
or
comments?
Now
have
mines
utilize?
My
perspective,
youthline,
I
I,
think
it's
a
little
different
from
a
lot
of
other
people's
perspective
on
this
board,
because
I
was
a
friend
of
mine
called
a
worker
and
I
would
sit
at
the
front
desk
and
hang
out
with
the
youth
and
youth
line
was
like
the
highlight
of
the
day.
When
did
you
find.
C
Some
programming
playing
a
basketball,
short
basketball
tournament,
whatever
night
deals
were
these,
these
folks
came
in
brought
new
fresh
ideas
that
was
their
job
and
me.
Somebody
worked
in
the
school's
seen
a
very,
very,
very
great
comparison
between
our
youth
workers
and
our
educators.
Working
on
school,
especially
I'm,
very
professional,
so
I
want
to
make
sure
that
these
guys
and
ladies,
are
having
having
the
tools
and
resources
they
have
to
make
their
job
successful.
C
So
if,
if
we've
done
something,
that's
networking
I
really
want
to
know
about
it
as
quickly
as
possible
and
if
we're
doing
stuff
that's
working
way
better
than
we
thought
it
was
gonna
work.
I
want
to
hear
about
that
as
well,
because
I
think
sometimes
we
we
want
to
change
things.
We
have
a
tendency
to
grow
a
sense
of
kinship
to
the
way
things
used
to
be,
and
sometimes
there's
some
give
me
some
good
being
hasn't
changed,
but
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
doing
it
in
a
perspective.
C
That's
that
were
detecting
other
people's
feelings
and
into
into
concepts.
You
know
into
consideration
and
I
want
to
make
sure
that
the
program
is
gonna.
You
know
remain
solid
for
years
to
come,
so
this
is
if
this
is
a
change
that
we're
gonna
do
I
want
to
make
sure
it's.
It
gonna
be
solid
for
matches
this
year,
two
years
from
now,
but
when
we
5
10
years
from
then
we
decided
another
superintendent
that
it'll
still
be
ready
to
go.
So
thank
you
for
your
work.
X
M
M
M
A
Assistant
superintendent
Schroeder,
can
you
walk
us
through
at
our
last
presentation
before
this
was
untamed?
There
were
some
very
disturbing
key
demographics
missing
from
the
groups
that
we
were
trying
to
engage
in
the
parks
for
all
Community
Advisory
Committee.
Can
you
walk
us
through
the
makeup
of
the
staff,
suggested
slate
again
and
highlight
some
of
those
constituency
groups
that
we're
still
missing.
AA
Cheering
president
Boren
I
should
have
brought
with
me
the
very
large
boards
that
we
have
that
actually
articulate
where
we
have
representation
and
where
we
don't.
But
what
I
can
do
for
the
board
is
articulate
the
points
of
diversity
that
are
recommended
in
the
CAC
under
the
policy
I
don't
know,
but
I
could.
Z
M
AA
To
the
territory
and
print
president
Boren,
so
the
the
points
of
diversity
we
look
for
are
racial
ethnic
diversity,
generational
diversity,
socio-economic
diversity,
linguistic
diversity,
diversity
of
interests,
people
with
disabilities,
Geographic
disability
did
diversity
and
diversity
and
political
experience.
So
when
we
look
across
those
I
think
they're
eight
different
topics,
we
chart
those
and
we
are
drawing
from
a
pool
of
applicants,
so
our
capacity
to
fulfill
that
diversity
is
limited,
perhaps
by
the
applicants
that
are
actually
in
the
pool,
am.
AA
A
A
limited
pool
of
applicants
to
yield
the
diversity
in
the
committee
that
we
would
all
like
to
see.
Yes,
okay,
I,
remember
specifically,
there
was
and
I
apologize
that
I
don't
have
those
key
missing
demographics
either,
but
one
really
really
stood
out
to
me
and
it
was
a
desire
to
have
a
member
of
a
member
of
the
CAC,
be
someone
who
is
currently
experiencing
homelessness,
and
that
was
a
key.
That
was
a
key
demographic
that
was
missing.
A
AA
A
A
I
hope
that
the
answer
would
have
been
yes
and
that
that
we
did
work
with
that
partner,
that
we're
investing
that
we're
investing
some
resources,
and
that
has
a
lot
more
access
to
folks
in
the
community
that
may
be
experiencing
homelessness.
Then
then
we
may
have
as
a
board
of
nine
commissioners.
I
just
have
some
overall
and
I'm,
hoping
that
I
can
get
an
answer
to
that
one
when
it
comes
to
the
full
board.
A
I
do
have
some
overall
concerns
with
the
with
some
of
the
key
missing
demographics
in
in
the
staff
recommended
slate
I'll,
be
bringing
forward
I'll,
be
bringing
forward
an
amendment
when
this
comes
to
the
full
board,
so
I
just
wanted
to
make
staff.
It
makes
staff
aware
that
I
think
that
that
amendment
has
already
been
sent
out
to
at
least
committee
members,
if
not,
if
not
the
entire
board.
I
just
have
some
concerns
with
the
lack
of
diversity
and
the
lack
of
over
representation
by
some
entities
that.
A
Some
organizations
that
have
a
very
committed
stake
to
some
of
the
privatization
that's
been
happening
with
the
park
board
right
now
too.
So
I'd
like
to
see
that
I'd
like
to
see
that
I'd
like
to
see
for
our
most
important
plan
a
a
more
robust
and
more
representative
slate
of
folks
come
forward
and
I
think
that
we
can
do
that
through
through
our
appointees,
but
I.
A
Also,
we
rely
on
staff
to
bring
forward
that
that
diversity
is
well
and
to
round
that
out
and
so
I
know,
staff
did
a
stellar
job
with
the
amount
of
applicate
applicants
we
received,
but
I'd
rather
do
this
right
then
expediently.
Considering
that
it's
our
it's
our
master
plan
and
our
planning
staff
have
a
lot
of
other
work
they
can
be.
They
can
be
doing
in
the
meantime.
So
thank
you,
assistant,
superintendent,
Schroeder,
Thank,
You,
chair
Forney,.
M
E
A
That
the
slate
is
filled,
and
there
are
some
key
areas
that
are
missing-
that
our
staff
are
geared
through
some
of
the
partnerships
that
we
do
with
st.
Stephens,
for
example,
that
they
are
better
geared
to
make
recommendations
for
then
us
as
individual
commissioners.
I
do
have
some
concern
about
the
influence
of
both
green
Minneapolis
and
the
low
pit
and
some
of
the
employment
affiliations
of
members.
I
would
like
this
to
be
a,
and
this
is
my
part.
This
is
my
personal
preference.
M
A
A
Chair
for
me,
commissioner
Mew
such
I
have
not
made
my
appointment,
yet
the
the
appointment
that
I
make
as
a
commissioner
should
have
no
bearing
or
impact
on
the
appointment
that
any
other
commissioners
make.
Every
commissioner
should
has
the
ability
to
appoint
whoever
they
want
and
appoint
the
most
qualified
person
that
they
would
like
to
see
represent
their
office
on
a
Community,
Advisory
Committee.
M
F
You
chair
for
me,
I
guess:
I'm
I'm
a
little
concerned
that
we
I
understand
that
there
are
people
from
specific
communities
that
we
want
to
reach
out
to,
but
I
mean
if
we're
focusing
on
the
homeless
community
I'm,
pretty
sure
this
may
not
be
a
priority
for
someone
from
that
community.
So
what
happens?
If
we
don't
find
someone
from
that
community
we
spend
weeks
or
months
or
whatever
then
like.
How
do
we
move
forward
with
this.
A
Is
being
addressed
to
Commissioner
Forney?
This
is
the
my
particular
concern
with
the
homeless
community
is
that
the
homeless
community
is
more
often
than
not
invisible
and
we
and
we
treat
the
homeless
community
as
invisible.
I
was
incredibly
proud
to
see.
Our
staff
have
recognized
that
invisibility
of
that
community
and
put
that
on
a
list
of
representative
groups
that
we
would
like
to
hear
their
voice
and
erase
that
invisibility
I'm
incredibly
concerned
that
we
recognize
that
as
an
invisible
group,
but
we
are
still
considering
moving
forward
with
keeping
them
invisible.
A
That's
that's
incredibly
hard
for
me
to
reconcile
and
so
I
don't
know
the
answer
to
that.
I
think
we
have
the
board
of
commissioners
as
allocated
resources
to
staff,
to
work
with
the
homeless
community
and
to
engage
the
homeless
community
and
I'm
in
particular,
disappointed
that
it
sounds
like
we
may
not
have.
While
we
have
recognized
that
I'm,
hoping
that
we
did,
but
if
there's
a
community
that
we
are
acknowledging
is
too
often
invisible
and
we
did
not
work
with
the
partners
who
we
are
paying
to
engage
a
community
st.
A
Stephens
has
a
more
bill,
a
greater
ability
to
make
a
meaningful
connection
with
a
member
of
the
community
experiencing
homelessness,
then
I
will
just
speak
for
myself
than
I
do
and
I
would
imagine
that
same
question
would
be,
for
that
same
response
would
be
from
the
rest
of
the
board
so
I,
and
that's
just
the
one
that
I'm
remembering
off
the
top
of
my
head
and
I'm,
not
on
this
committee.
But
there
are
a
lot.
A
O
Planning
processes
are
complex,
they're
abstract
and
often
require
a
certain
amount
of
time,
commitment
and
ability
their
desire
to
go
into
developing
a
depth
of
knowledge
around
the
subjects
to
come
up
with
informed
decisions
and
to
also
be
able
to
navigate
a
kind
of
committee
process
which
in
itself
is,
can
be
trying
and
take
time
and
I
do
believe
in
the
stead
and
I.
The
concept
of
having
a
Community,
Advisory,
Committee
and
I
also
bleed
it
a
little
Audibel
goals
that
president
Boren
is
bringing
up
that
we
were
gonna.
Do
this
right.
O
That
being
said,
we've
had
a
good
amount
of
time
to
have
this
discussion
and
president
Warren
said
he
would
be
bringing
forward
an
alternative
resolution
at
the
full
board.
So
I
suppose
that
I'd
be
very
interested
in
hearing
that
at
the
full
board
meeting
in
in
the
meantime,
I
think
that
this
larger
conceptual
discussion
is
one
that
I
would
hope.
O
Staff
could
an
ongoing
way
deal
with
I
found
personally
in
the
few
appointments
that
I
have
made
to
community
advisory
committees
that
the
work
of
trying
to
get
somebody
that
is
even
representing
a
demographic
that
isn't
usually
represented
and
in
community
advisory
committees
is
not
just
a
struggle
but
like
his
is
a
really
big
hurdle,
and
this
gets
to
a
lot
of
issues.
But
one
of
them
being
are
we
paying
community
advisory
committee
members?
O
Another
is:
should
the
community
advisory
committee
structure
even
be
something
that
is
the
main
thing
that
we
use
for
planning
processes
and
I?
Don't
I,
don't
know
if
I
necessarily
have
the
answer
to
this.
I
I
do
believe
that
we
should
be
moving
forward
in
a
community
planning
process
for
a
comprehend
plan,
and
for
that
reason,
at
this
committee
level,
right
now,
I'm
gonna
vote
in
favor
of
the
resolution.
E
You,
chair
Forney,
so
again
the
issues
coming
up
about.
Thank
you
for
letting
me
speak
I'm
not
on
this
committee,
I
appreciate
being
given
the
opportunity
about
paying
people
to
serve
on
community
advisory
committees.
That
was
part
of
the
discussion
around
changing
our
engagement
policy
on
March
27th
of
2019.
This
board,
you
Nana
unanimously
adopted
a
new
engagement
policy
which
does
not
include
paying
people
and
which
does
still
continue
to
utilize
community
engagement
committee
to
assist
us
with
our
planning
endeavors.
E
But
my
first
term
on
this
board
I
could
without
any
qualms
tell
people
that
I
believe
the
park
board
does
intense
thoughtful
community
engagement
and
that
the
feedback
that
they
provide
to
staff
will
have
an
impact
on
what
eventually
comes
before
this
board
and
that
the
people
that
are
sitting
up
here
will
listen
to
what
people
are
saying,
and
we
will
take
that
into
consideration
when
we
try
to
pass
actions
before
us.
I
can't
say
that
anymore
I
mean
I
do
believe.
E
Our
staff
is
working
very
diligently
to
to
tell
people
that
and
to
do
that,
work,
but
I
find
it
incredibly
difficult
to
believe
that
all
of
us
are
doing
that
hard
work
as
well
when
we,
when
we
pass
a
policy
and
then
continue
to
question
whether
or
not
we
should
have
done
that,
it's
it's
baffling
to
me.
I,
don't
I,
don't
know
how
to
process
that
mentally
in
a
logical
way.
Z
G
Z
M
M
Viewed
as
a
lack
of
what
the
staff
slate
is,
you
need
to
remind
everybody
that
the
appointments
from
all
commissioners
has
been
due
for
some
time
and
still
there's
only
four
members
of
the
board
that
have
done
that
so
I'm
having
great
difficulty
in
changing
as
commissioner
music
has
that
changing
any
of
our
policies.
If
we
haven't
even
fulfilled
our
portion
of
this
charge,.
M
So
it's
I've
said
it
before
we're
putting
the
cart
before
the
horse
and
unless
we
want
to
change
up
the
entire
charge,
which
my
understanding
is
that
I
believe
that
all
board
members
did
receive
some
sort
of
a
substitute
resolution.
If
that
is
something
that
people
would
like
to
entertain,
I'd
like
to
you
know
hear
that
I
know
that
there's
a
motion
on
the
floor
to
approve
it.
M
I,
don't
believe,
maybe
assistant
superintendent
Schroeder
doesn't
know
how
many
applicants
we've
had
for
the
other
two
citizen
advisory
committees
that
we
have
already
implemented
under
this
policy.
I,
don't
believe
that
we've
gotten
thousands
of
applications
on
those
other
two,
and
we
only
let's
say
we
feel
that
this
was
a
fewer
amount,
I'm,
quite
sure
that
that
was
not
the
case,
so
we
approved
those
other
two.
But
for
some
reason
now
we're
questioning
whether
or
not
forty-eight
applicants
is
an
appropriate
amount.
M
So
it
seems
like
it's
a
very
circular.
You
know
conversation
here
and
I'd
like
to
see
the
resolution
go
through
the
way
it
is
with
the
slate,
but
I
still
don't
hear
anybody
saying
that
they're
going
to
put
forth
their
Commissioner
appointees
and
that
defies
what
it
is
that
we
set
up
the
staff
slate
for
it
was
to
fill
in
where
we
commissioners
did
not
meet
the
the
guidelines,
so
I'm
very
frustrated.
M
M
M
G
There
was
just
some
confusing
because
on
agenda
packet,
it
refers
to
itself
in
the
language,
so
that's
the
language
of
it
and
although
I'll
just
speak
briefly
to
it,
I'll
be
open
to
amendments
at
the
full
board,
but
I
do
want
to
move
on
with
this
I
don't
want
to
start
all
over
with
it.
So
I'll
be
open
to
amendments
that
that
won't
extend
what
level
but
won't
start
over
around
the
process.
I
made
my
appointment
and
months
ago
by
the
deadline.
I
didn't
have
the
courage
of
the
commissioners
to
complete
those
as
well.
A
You,
chair,
forney
I,
do
have
a
question
on
our
engagement
policy
and
I
thought.
I
knew
the
answer
for
it
I'm
trying
to
pull
it
up,
but
it's
a
16
page
document.
If
I
understand
the
policy,
or
at
least
the
presentations
as
it
was
written,
commissioners
make
appointments
and
then
staff
look
at
those
appointments
and
recommend
the
supplementary
slate.
Is
that
my
understanding
that
process
right
assistant,
superintendent,
Schroeder,
chair.
AA
For
new
president
warned
that
that's
correct,
we
are
trying
to
ensure
some
balance
in
the
commissioner
appointments,
as
stated
earlier
in
the
discussion.
Commission.
Don't
know
who
each
is
appointing
until
they're
actually
brought
forward.
In
this
case,
we
are
trying
to
stay
on
the
deadline,
as
chair
Forney
stated,
is
a
budget
goal
for
the
planning
division
for
2019
and
for
2018
as
well.
So
we
are
trying
to
advance
this
so
in
a
particular
way
to
prefer
to
President
Warren's
point.
AA
A
Thank
you
and
I
guess:
I
have
a
question
for
parliamentarian
rice.
So
it's
not.
It
sounds
as
if
the
community
gauge
when
a
policy
is
not
being
followed
right
now,
because
commissioners
have
not
made
their
appointments.
The
order
of
operations
is
that
commissioners
make
their
appointments
and
then
the
and
then
staff
brings
forward
a
slate
of
recommendations
of
appointees
to
be
approved
by
the
board
to
augment
Commissioner
appointments.
If
we're
not
following
our
community
engagement
policy,
that's
bent.
That's
a
an
approved
policy
of
the
board
when
this
comes
to
the
full
board.
A
Z
Z
A
Their
appointments,
so
commissioners
should
be
making
their
appointments
myself
included,
and
then
we
should
be
receiving
a
slate
that
augments
those
appointments,
I'm
I'm
confused,
baffled
and
frustrated
that
we
would
have
a
slate
of
augmented
appointments
before
commissioners
have
presented
their
slate
and
and
I
agree
with
Commissioner
knew
such
I'm.
I
would
like
to
be
able
to
go.
Tell
the
community
that
we
are
following
our
processes,
so
yeah
I'm
a
little
lost
as
to
what
to
do
here
as
well.
Thank,
You,
chair,
Forney,
I
think.
M
M
Will
announce
now
that
all
Commissioner
appointments
need
to
be
in
by
the
end
of
August?
All
those
in
favor
of
the
motion
please
signify
by
saying
aye
aye
opposed
no
motion
carries
so
moving
on.
We
will
have
finally
a
report
study
report
regarding
the
US
Army
Corps
of
Engineers
disposition
study
for
the
upper
st.
Anthony,
Lock
and
Dam
Michael.
Please
introduce
our
guest
man
and.
AA
Cheer
for
knee
I'm
glad
to
do
this,
so
just
a
brief
background
and
Dan
Bischoff
is
here
from
the
US
Army
Corps
of
Engineers,
and
should
probably
repeat
some
of
this,
but
just
a
few
highlights
following
the
closure
of
the
upper
lock
and
dam
and
in
October
of
18,
the
Corps
of
Engineers
was
directed
to
pursue
a
disposition
study.
Nan
Bischoff
will
explain
that
what
the
technicalities
of
that
are
in
this
few
minutes.
I
study
began
in
April
of
2018.
It
is
ongoing
now
for
particular
interest
for
this
board.
AA
The
outcome
could
significantly
influence
the
future
of
the
central
Mississippi
River
from
regional
park
and
the
Mississippi
gourd
Regional
Park.
You
might
recall
that,
during
your
review
of
the
gorge
master
plan,
we
actually
had
two
paths
possible,
one
that
would
suggest
a
path
if
the
if
there
was
some
change,
so
the
system,
systems
of
locks
and
dams
in
Minneapolis
at
one
is
if
they
were
to
remain
so.
I
am
going
to
see
if
I
can't
find
the
correct.
L
L
Thank
you
for
inviting
me
jenna
Forney
and
president
Boren.
Yes,
I
am
nan
Bischoff
with
the
Corps
of
Engineers,
and
we
recently
had
a
series
of
public
meetings
concerning
our
current
study
and
also
yet
meetings
last
week
with
local
government
organizations,
non-government
organizations
and
state
and
federal
agencies
to
inform
them
all
about
the
history
of
the
study
and
what
is
going
on
right
now.
L
So
the
question
that
we
tried
to
get
everyone
focused
on
or
the
question
that
everyone
seems
to
be
interested
is
in
what
is
the
future
of
st.
Anthony
Falls?
What's
the
his
future
of
the
river?
But
what
our
study
has
to
answer.
First
is
what
is
the
future
of
the
Corps
of
Engineers
at
st.
Anthony
Falls
current
in
the
past,
we've
operated
for
navigation,
we're
currently
operating
for
flood
risk
management.
Do
we
need
to
stay
there,
and
that
is
the
big
question
that
we'll
be
answering
in
this
study?
L
L
Its
primary
purpose
is
navigation,
commercial
navigation,
mainly,
it
also
has
a
secondary
purpose
of
recreation
that
was
added
in
the
Flood
Control
Act
of
1948.
All
federal
sites
have
a
dual
purpose
of
recreation.
Upper
st.
Anthony
Falls
is
also
important
because
it
supports
hydropower
at
the
Excel
plant
located
across
the
river.
It
is
used
for
flood
damage
mitigation.
The
flood
gate
has
been
used
six
times
in
the
60
plus
66
year,
life
of
the
project,
and
it's
also
key
in
that.
It
is
part
of
the
damming
surface
that
makes
possible
the
Minneapolis
water
supply.
L
L
There
are
many
reasons
why
the
Corps
is
doing
a
study.
We
no
longer
have
our
primary
purpose
of
navigation
being
fulfilled
at
up
the
upper
lock
and,
in
addition,
at
the
two
lower
locks,
Loras
and
Anthony
Falls
and
locking
down
one,
the
level
of
service
has
dropped
off
and
the
demand
for
navigation
has
dropped
off.
We
still
do
operate
the
oversight
for
recreation.
L
We
have
guided
tours
that
are
led
by
the
National
Park
Service.
We
also
have
an
open
visitor
center
at
locking
down
one
again.
Gate
operations
are
required
at
the
upper
upper
and
lower
cites
hydropower
is
important
and
for
these
purposes
this
diminishing
use.
The
federal
government
does
spend
1.5
million
dollars
per
year
in
maintaining
these
three
sites.
L
Last
year
we
did
start
a
study.
We
had
our
public
meetings
last
July
and
the
scope
at
that
time
was
to
study
all
three
sites.
We
invited
folks
to
give
us
an
indication
if
they're
interested
in
one
or
more
of
the
sites
and
then
in
October
of
last
year,
water,
actually,
the
America's
water
infrastructure
Act
was
passed
which
caused
us
to
change
the
scope
of
our
study.
L
Okay,
America's
water
infrastructure
at
there
are
two
main
sections
that
affect
our
study,
the
first
would
of
which
is
section
1225,
and
that
specifically
tells
us
to
do
a
study
just
for
upper
st.
Anthony
Falls.
To
do
it
first,
we
also
have
to
can
consider
partial
the
authorization.
Previously
we
looked
at
either
keeping
it
entire
or
disposing
of
it
entirely,
and
the
Act
asks
us
to
look
at
and
in
between
paths
which
would
be
to
keep
it.
While
we
maintain
the
flood
risk
mitigation.
L
J
L
In
addition
to
the
Act
that
was
passed
by
the
entirety
of
Congress,
we
got
or
received
a
letter
from
senators
Klobuchar
and
Smith,
indicating
what
their
intent
was
in
writing
the
legislation
and,
in
particular,
for
upper
st.
Anthony
Falls.
They
wanted
the
Corps
to
work
with
the
city
of
Minneapolis
to
help
further
go
the
goals
of
revitalization
of
the
riverfront.
L
So
now
we
have
two
studies,
the
one
the
first
one
will
be
poor
upper
st.
Anthony
Falls,
that's
what's
going
on
right
now
and
we
will
be
doing
a
study
in
the
future
on
lower
st.
Anthony
Falls
in
Lock
and
Dam
one
and
that
may
fit
in
more
with
the
plans
for
the
River
Gorge
downstream.
But
right
now
our
concentration
is
just
on
a
personality
falls.
L
We
have
three
alternatives.
The
no
action
is
our
standard
series
of
alternatives.
We
have
to
consider
doing
nothing.
The
Corps
stays
there.
We
continue
to
operate
the
floodgate.
We
continue
to
allow
the
National
Park
Service
to
conduct
tours
and
any
other
thing
that
falls
within
our
authority.
The
second
alternative
is
to
dispose
of
the
federal
project
at
the
site.
We
are
required
to
consider
structural
remove,
however,
at
upper
st.
L
We
also
have
to
include
the
soft
topics,
the
human
environment,
natural
environment
and
to
improve
recreational
opportunities.
This
is
the
core
course
planning
process.
I
will
be
highlighting
the
opportunities
and
constraints
that
we
are
developed,
I
defy
in
this
early
phase,
but
this
is
essentially
what
we
do
is
probably
similar
to
many
of
the
planning
processes
that
are
followed
by
the
Minneapolis
parks.
L
Okay,
first
of
all,
the
opportunities
are
biggest
opportunity
that
that
we're
seeking
is
just
to
save
some
money.
If
we
don't
have
to
maintain
the
site,
it
saves
the
government
some
money.
We
also
have
the
recreation
all
the
other
ones,
but
also
the
opportunity
that
we
see
out
here
is
enabling
some
of
the
other
organizations
to
see
some
of
their
visions
come
true.
L
We
are
aware
of
the
Water
Works
plan,
the
two
phases,
the
mezzanine
phase
and
the
Riverside
phase
and
kind
of
shown
on
there
is
the
future
Lock
and
Dam
phase.
We
are
also
aware
of
the
visions
of
the
Friends
of
the
lock
and
dam.
The
Falls
concept
believe
that
this
is
in
partnership
with
the
city
of
Minneapolis.
L
We're
also
aware
of
the
vision
of
crown
hydropower
to
locate
a
new
hydropower
facility
on
the
site,
and
this
is
more
of
a
vision
downstream
of
upper
st.
Anthony
Falls.
We
are
aware
of
the
vision
of
restoration
of
the
Mississippi
River,
and
this
may
come
into
play
more
when
we
move
on
to
the
lower
lower
st.
Anthony,
Falls
and
Lock
and
Dam
one
study.
L
Ok,
so
here's
here's
our
challenge,
I
mean
we.
We
have
the
three
alternatives
that
the
Corps
needs
to
consider,
but
how
they
fit
in
with
these
visions
are,
can
the
visions
be
implement,
implemented
under
all
three
of
these
alternatives,
or
do
some
of
the
visions
require
that
the
Corps
be
gone
or
the
Corps
stay.
L
Now
some
of
the
constraints
and-
and
he
may
or
may
not
be
aware
of
some
of
these-
but
the
main
one
is
that
we
can't
dispose
of
what
we
don't
own
I
do
have
a
few
maps
that
are
in
this
presentation.
We
also
have
them
on
our
website
and
I
brought
big
copies
in
the
back
of
the
room.
If
you
wanted
to
examine
them,
that
shows
exactly
where
the
core,
or
rather
the
federal
government,
owens
property
at
upper
st.
Anthony
Falls.
L
If
we
do
say
for
flood
operation,
there
are
certain
areas
that
we
have
to
reserve
for
our
use.
We
also
have
to
recognize
that
Xcel
Energy
is
our
partner
in
this,
and
they
do
have
access
rights
over
the
federal
property.
There
are
RESCUE
votes
on
on-site.
We
do
have
to
beware
of
not
messing
with
the
Minneapolis
water
supply
and
one
of
the
big
drivers
for
the
closure.
Last
time
around
was
the
concern
with
Asian
carp.
L
L
In
addition,
the
structures
that
the
Corps
built
are
shown
in
blue,
so
these
would
also
be
federal
property
that
would
be
subject
to
disposition
or
retention.
What's
shown
in
yellow
is
the
the
main
dam,
the
horseshoe
and
the
main
spillway
and
the
rest
of
the
the
damaged
surface
that
goes
over
to
the
north
side
of
the
river.
The
dam
and
spillway
are
owned
by
Xcel
Energy.
So
again
we
can't
sell
what
we
don't
own,
so
any
proposals
would
not
include
any
changes
to
that
property
yeah.
L
These
are
just
the
locations
of
what
I'm
going
to
be
showing
in
the
next
slides.
We
do
need
to
access
the
site
if
we're
going
to
continue
to
operate
for
flood
mitigation,
and,
what's
shown
in
this
picture,
is
the
gate
in
operation
this
spring.
The
gate
can
take
up
to
15,000
cubic
feet
per
second,
what's
shown
here
is
about
3,000.
J
L
Are
the
areas
that
we
use
when
we're
operating
the
flood
gate,
the
entire
chamber?
We
lifts
the
the
gate
up
and
the
water
passes
through
the
chamber.
We
also
do
need
to
use
the
top
of
the
lock
walls.
It
doesn't
mean
that
we
can't
share
the
use
of
those
lock
walls,
but
during
flood
operations
we
do
need
them.
This
is
what
it
looks
going
like
going
through
the
lock.
L
The
other
constraint
is
occasionally.
We
will
have
to
do
major
maintenance
at
the
site,
maybe
once
every
20
25
30
years,
we
would
have
to
bring
a
crane
in
for
major
maintenance
that
would
be
for
setting
bulkheads
and
lifting
equipment
and
in
fact,
as
I
was
driving
here
tonight,
I
noticed
that
there
was
a
big
crane
in
our
parking
lot
tonight
and
not
quite
sure
why
they
were
there,
but
there's
definitely
a
crane
there.
L
L
That
was
a
350
ton
crane,
which
is
pretty
big
there
about
13
feet
tall
when
they're
driving
down
the
road,
and
so
it
either
has
to
fit
under
the
stone
arch
bridge
under
Portland
Avenue,
or
else
we
have
to
bring
it
in
from
the
lower,
lock
and
dam
site
and
up
through
the
access
road
we
are
assuming
that
we
will
not
have
our
nut
will
not
necessarily
have
access
for
a
barge
mounted
crane,
because
we
don't
know
what
the
future
of
Locke
and
m1
and
lower
st.
Anthony
Falls
is
going
to
be
okay.
L
So
this
will
it's
a
constraint.
We
need
to
do
need
to
think
about
getting
a
crane
in
the
other
constraint.
As
I
said,
northern
states
power
retained
access
rights
across
our
property.
The
the
current
owner
Excel
does
have
an
Operations
building,
that's
located
on
on
the
site,
and
they
do
need
to
do
some
of
their
dam
maintenance
from
the
south
side
of
the
river.
L
The
other
constraint,
as
I
mentioned,
was
the
location
of
the
intakes
for
the
Minneapolis
water
supply.
Upper
st.
Anthony
Falls
provides
a
damming
surface
that
keeps
the
water
level
at
a
certain
elevation.
If
the
dam
isn't
there,
the
water
elevation
drops
and
then
the
Minneapolis
water
supply
is
sucking
air
rather
than
water,
and
we
do
keep
an
eye
on
Asian
carp,
or
rather
the
Minnesota
Department
of
Natural
Resources
does
a
controlled
capture
every
year.
L
They
go
to
places
where
carp
are
like
to
hang
out
and
they
capture
them,
and
so
every
year
they
do
keep
an
eye
on
them.
Okay,
those
were
the
constraints
we
do
have
some
opportunities
to.
There
would
be
parts
of
the
lock
that
would
be
available
for
other
use.
If
we're
staying
there
for
flood
risk
management.
There
are
other
parts
that
we
don't
need.
L
We
can
divorce
ourselves
from
the
restroom
that
could
be
taken
over
by
someone
else
and
the
central
control
station.
We
did
a
analysis
a
few
months
ago
about
whether
we
needed
any
part
of
that
building
and
it
turns
out
that
we
don't
need
this
building
for
any
of
the
flood
risk
management.
That
building
could
be
turned
over
to
someone
else
entirely.
L
Okay,
so
our
process
is
to
go
through
all
of
our
alternatives.
We
examine
cost
benefits
and
assess
the
environmental,
cultural,
social
impacts
of
that
we'll
make
a
recommendation
based
on
what
we
find
and
we
will
be
publishing
the
draft
report
in
the
spring
of
2020
yeah
well
next
spring,
probably
about
the
May
time
frame,
we'll
be
publishing
a
report
that
will
go
out
for
public
review
for
60
days
and
then
after
that,
we'll
finalize
our
report
and
then
depending
on.
If
the
action
or
the
recommendation
is
no
action,
just
do
what
we're
doing.
L
L
L
L
L
L
G
You
for
coming
to
us
with
this
report:
I
go
by
this
site
almost
every
day,
I'm
a
bike
and
we're
definitely
you
know
they
were
definitely
very
interested
in
the
future
of
this.
Can
you
go
back
one
slide
to
the
timeline
of
this
yeah?
Okay,
so
you're
gonna
have
the
report
by
April
of
2020
and
I'm.
Just
wondering
at
what
point
would
we
need
to
start
lobbying
our
Congress
members?
If
the
report
found
that
you
don't
need
that,
you
do
need
to
dispose
of
it,
and
we
wanted
to
have
our
say
on
that.
G
L
G
Z
Know
they
friends
of
Lock
and
Dam,
secured
a
2.8
million
dollar
Wow
tentative
recommendation
from
the
legislative
and
citizen
Commission
on
Minnesota
resources,
that's
good
that
that
recommendation
be
finalized
in
November
or
December
of
this
year
and
then
go
to
the
next
year's
like
the
site
row
for
action,
but
it
seems
like
they're
making
some
progress
there.
That's
what
I
know
about
their
efforts.
I
think
they
continue
to
be
active.
Z
L
Z
Z
L
Guess
encouraged
Congress
to
encourage
us
to
stay
there
I
said
I'm,
not
sure
who
encouraged
our
congressional
folks
to
incorporate
the
language
to
encourage
us
to
stay
there,
because
it
would
have
been
kind
of
black
or
white
stay
or
go.
So
it
seems,
like
folks,
want
us
to
stay
and
operate
the
flood
control
gate.
Okay,.
L
To
take
that
away
from
them,
we
can't
give
it
away.
We
still
have
to
you,
know,
discuss
it,
but
when
you
consider
what
areas,
then
we
have
to
reserve
for
operation
and
maintenance.
That
kind
of
could
curtail
some
of
the
visions
that
are
currently
out
there.
So
I
think
that
friends
have
locking
down,
but
I
think
has
to
go
back
to
the
drawing
board
and
figure
out
how
to
coexist
with
us
operating
the
floodgate.
Z
H
You,
chair,
Forney
I,
don't
have
much
to
add
to
this
conversation
other
than
thank
you.
You
did
a
wonderful
job
tonight.
I
wasn't
really
excited
to
see
this
in
committee,
because
I
most
recently
took
a
trip
as
far
down
as
we
can
go
to
the
up
or
down
up
to
the
Caracas
down
and
what's
intriguing
me
to
start
doing
some
research
on
the
cool
Rapids
Dam,
which
is
out
of
service
for
my
understanding
and
I,
think
went
out
in
the
60s.
Are
they
traded
hands,
something
or
another
that
that
I
was
reading
upon?
H
But
I
would
hope
that
we
could
do
some
research
on
what
Three
Rivers
Park
has
done
with
that
with
the
Rapids
Dam
and
what
we
could
possibly
do
and
I'm
speaking
in
my
own
position
as
a
person
who
represents
district
2
because
I
will
say,
I
am
quite
disappointed
that,
as
a
young
man
who
used
to
have
the
opportunity
to
go
all
the
way
to
the
st.
Croix
River
from
right
here,
boom
Island
just
across
from
my
district.
It's
disappointing
that
I
that
a
lot
of
folks
in
my
community
are
just
in
Minneapolis
in
general.
H
Don't
get
that
opportunity
to
navigate
that
beautiful
River
and
have
that
wonderful
experience,
so
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
did
a
wonderful
job
and
the
restrooms
I
have
a
high
interest
in
done.
The
campaign
restrooms
are
not
on
my
radar
and
I
hear
that
quite
often
now
how
the
community
wants
access
to
restrooms
and
I
think
we
can
prevent
folks
who
peeing
on
trees
or
other
places
to
if
we
have
accessible
spaces
for
them
to
go
so
and
like
I
said.
Thank
you.
H
O
Thank
You
Commissioner
for
incor,
were
you
done
I'm,
okay,
cool
thanks
for
the
presentation.
I
just
want
to
say,
I'm
excited
about
this
study
and
hopeful
that
it
includes
some
of
the
work
that
was
done
around
the
visioning
for
waterworks
since
that
has
already
begun
and
we're
in
construction
of
that
first
mezzanine
phase,
I
I
over
all
I'm
echo
by
would
echo
commissioners
Everson's
comments
about
the
bathroom
situation,
but
just
also
just
activating
that
space
as
best
as
possible
for
educational
and
environmental
opportunities.
O
I
think
is
the
critical
next
step
for
that
space
and
how
broad
or
bold
or
ambitious
we
go
with
that.
I
kind
of
leave
that
up
to
this
this
process
to
think
a
little
bit
about,
but
you
know
whether
it's
the
wishbone
or
it's
something
closer
to
the
some
of
the
smaller
visions
for
the
space.
Regardless,
though,
I
think
that
since
we
have
already
moved
forward
with
waterworks,
it
would
be
great
to
really
think
critically
about,
including
that.
L
I
think
there
is
a
cooperative
agreement
going
on
where
maybe
is
that
the
National
Park
Service
opens
the
facilities
at
a
certain
time,
but
I
think
the
Park
Board
provides
toilet
paper
and
the
supplies
and
yeah
the
the
Corps
has
staff
has
been
reduced
significantly.
We
have
the
staff
at
lowers
Anthony
Falls
in
locking
down
one,
you
know
serving
those
two
sites,
but
just
occasionally
coming
up
to
upper
st.
Anthony
Falls.
So
as
the
hours
of
operation
shrink
down,
the
staff
is
shrinking
down
as
well.
L
It
is
heyday
this
upper
st.
Anthony,
Falls
or
all
three
sites
were
operated.
24
hours
a
day.
Seven
days
a
week,
two
people
per
three
rotating
shifts,
plus
there
were
laborers
and
equipment
mechanic
and
lock
masters,
an
assistant
lock
master.
So
you
went
from
maybe
24
people
at
the
the
to
upper
and
lower
sites
and
now
we're
down
to
probably
about
three
or
four.
L
So
it's
it's
a
big
site
to
to
take
care
of
with
just
a
few
folks,
and
especially
if,
at
the
lower
lock,
we
have
the
three
movable
dam
gates
and
those
sometimes
have
to
be
well.
They
do
have
to
be
monitored,
24
hours
a
day
so
hard
to
run
up
to
the
upper
lock,
and
you
know
change
a
light
bulb
or
put
in
a
new
piece.
You
roll
the
toilet
paper
well,.

I'm,
just
real
pretty
appreciative
number
one
that
the
the
visitor
center
has
been
reopened
thanks
to
the
agreement
with
the
national
services
and
I
tell
everybody
that
I
do
the
bathrooms
on
Saturday,
so
I
that
that
agreement
is
still
there,
but
it's
being
activated
in
in
a
totally
different
way
than
it
was
before
and
and
I
think
that's.
You
know
your
question
that
you're
asking
is:
what
do
we
see
as
the
future?
What
is
our
commitment
to
that
and
per
our
central
master
plan
and
everything
we
definitely
do
want
to
be
a
significant
part.

That's
very
helpful
to
know
you
know
trying
to
get
it
into
my
head.
What
what
all
that
entails
and
everything.
So,
if
I
hear,
would
you
say
you
would
like
to
have
us
eventually
here
weigh
in
as
to
what
our
our
rule,
future
role
might
be
and
to
weigh
in
if
I
read
correctly,
you
would
like
to
get
that
in
by.
