Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board Meeting
C
A
A
Okay,
so
I
guess
I'm
confused,
then
why
something
like
this
wouldn't
come
up
through
committee
via,
like
the
person
that
brought
this
to
staff
coming
to
the
committee
chair,
saying,
I
think
this
is
something
that
needs
to
be
addressed
and
working
with
them
on
putting
something
together.
So
it
could
be
discussed
in
detailing
committee
and
the
rest
of
us
then,
would
have
the
background
information
to
be
able
to
decide
whether
or
not
this
is
a
reasonable
request
to
make
of
staff.
Commissioner.
B
A
B
B
That
motion
would
be.
We
have
a
motion
on
the
floor
to
approve
the
agenda.
You
could
offer
an
amendment
to
the
agenda
to
pull
this
and
then
the
committee
chairs
can
work
any
committee
chair
can
work
together,
so
you
can
make
an
amendment
to
pull
this
otherwise.
A
motion
would
also
be
in
order
when
we
get
to
this
item
in
business
to
refer
it,
so
those
two
motions
would
both
be
in
order.
Is
there
one
of
those
who
would
like
to
offer.
B
G
B
Is
an
amendment
to
there
there's
an
amendment
to
modify
the
agenda
to
just
remove
2019
to
81
all
here?
That
is
an
amendment
that
anybody
can
just
bring
something
forward
to
committee.
So
there's
a
resolution
to
remove
2019,
there's
a
resolution
to
amend
the
agenda
to
remove
2019
to
81.
Is
there
a
second
to
the
amendment?
Thank
you.
It's
been
moved
and
seconded.
Is
there
any
discussion
on
the
momenta
the
agenda,
seeing
none
all
those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
opposed
abstentions.
B
There's
one
the
motion
carries
to
amend
the
agenda.
Is
there
any
discussion
on
the
amended
agenda,
seeing
none
all
those
in
favor
of
the
amended
agenda,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
opposed
abstentions.
The
agenda
carries
I,
would
entertain
a
motion
for
the
approval
of
the
minutes
of
July
10th
2019,
it's
been
moved.
Is
there
a
second?
Second,
it's
been
moved
and
seconded
any
discussion
on
the
approval
of
the
minutes,
seeing
none
all
those
in
favor
of
the
minutes
of
July
10th
2019,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
opposed
abstentions.
H
Alright,
so
welcome
like
to
start
off
with
athletics,
aquatics
of
nice
arenas.
There
are
1063
participants
in
summer
swimming
lessons
across
our
system.
What
an
incredible
number-
and
we
want
to
share
with
you.
The
open
swim
club
has
eight
hundred
and
eighty-two
participants
taken
advantage
of
legally
and
safely
swimming
across
our
Lakes
and
what
a
wonderful
event
that
that
has
been
and
continues
to
be
and
I'm
gonna
join
in
soon.
Hopefully,.
H
So
far,

Two
of
our
internal
influencers

coordinating
this
year's
camp
and
I
didn't
have
a
chance

get
out
there.
I
really
wanted
to
make.
You

H
H
Was
going
to
read
briefly
in
our
correspondence
that
we
to
the
community
to
the
press
at
approximately
9:30
a.m.
this
morning,
Minneapolis
Park
and
Recreation
Board
and
PRP
staff
were
notified
by
the
University
of
Minnesota
of
a
slope.
Failure
along
the
saguru
Bank
next
to
East
River
Parkway,
which
runs
along
the
upper
Bluff
along
the
slope.
The
slope
failure
occurred
between
Washington
Avenue
and
Arlington
Street
soil
and
debris
slogged
off
the
upper
bank
and
slid
down
the
slope
towards
the
river.
H
At
this
time
there
has
been
no
report
of
personal
injury
or
damage
to
the
parkway
vehicles
or
nearby
buildings.
Safety
is
the
fpr
B's
primary
concern,
the
trail,
which
also
runs
along
the
upper
Bluff
and
is
directly
adjacent
to
the
slope.
Failure
area
sustained
damage
and
was
closed
off
this
morning
and
pRb
staff
in
the
MPR
beach

consultant
are
on
site
to
conduct
an
initial
safety
assessment
and
have
temporary
closed

H
Maintenance
operations,
pools,
Boston
wading
pool
is
not
open
and
two
summers
of
being
closed
for
repairs.
So
that's
wonderful,
Riverside
and
pearl
are
back
open
after
underground
water.
The
line,
breaks
and
repairs.
North
Commons
Park
is
scheduled
to
reopen
on
Saturday
July
27th
2019,
and
we
wanted
to
share
with
you
this
graph
of
this
actual
matrix.
That
really
shows
how
we're
doing
and
having
really
55
pools
open.
Seven
that
are
closed
temporarily
and
two
that
are
closed
for
the
season.
Very.
H
One
that
staff
have
done
to
keep
these
pools
open
and
running,
and
we
will
continue
to
share
this
information.
Peevy
Park,
the
new
soccer
field
is
now
under
NPR.
Va
management
assess
asset
management
staff
for
working
to
establish
turf
grass
roots
in
getting
a
solid
base.
The
field
should
be
ready
should
be
ready
for
play
in
the
fall,
so
it's
coming
soon.
I
know.
People
are
really
excited
about
that
and
I
can't
wait
to
come
in
field
with
that.
H
A
You
president
Boren
I,
just
wanted
to
share
my
excitement
at
the
fact
that
Bossin,
and
so
many
of
our
other
troubled
pools
are
reopened
already
this
season.
The
initial
estimates
were
not
great
and
staff
really
persevered
and
pushed
and
made
it
happen,
and
it's
super
hot
and
the
kids
have
been
out
really
enjoying
the
pools.
So
it's
it's
exciting
to
see
happen
and
I
just
wanted
to
say.
Thank
you.
Thank.
B
You
commissioner,
music
moving
on
I
would
entertain
a
motion
for
the
approval
of
the
consent
agenda
items
2019
to
77
through
279
fen
moved.
Is
there
a
second,
it's
been
moved
and
seconded?
Is
there
any
discussion
on
the
consent
agenda,
seeing
none
all
those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye,
I
opposed
abstentions.
The
consent
agenda
carries
Commission
of
chair
Vita

B
E
B
K
B
When
moved,
is
there
a
second
second,
it's
been
moved
and
seconded.
Is
there
any
discussion
on
276,
seeing
none
all
those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
aye
opposed
abstentions.
The
motion
carries
our
first
item
under
new
business.
Is
our
2020
state
bonding
a
request
for
that
I'll
turn
it
over
to
mr.
Burton.
M
M
M
The
preliminary
the
preliminary
requests
for
geo
bonds
have
already
been
submitted,
but
there's
an
opportunity
by
October
to
revise
and
add
to
those
requests.
The
projects
that
I
submitted
are
those
that
are
included
in
the
current
legislative
agenda.
So
it
is
the
Mississippi
River
habitat
restoration
and
public
access
project
for
four
million
26th
Avenue
North
at
3
million
the
waterworks
Riverside
phase
at
5
million
in
the
Grand
Rounds
missing
link
at
twelve
point,
three
missed
or
eclis.
M
We've
also
asked
for
funding
for
the
upper
harbour
terminal,
but
as
I
noted
that
was
funded
by
the
state
in
2018,
so
the
projects
that
have
been
on
our
legislative
agenda
that
we
have
submitted.
This
is
the
Mississippi
River
habitat
project,
which
is
essentially
an
initiative
to
really
start
to
begin
restoration
activities
on
much
of
the
land
that
we
do
own
on
the
Mississippi
River
now
there's
some
parcels
that
are
large
enough
that
we
can
start
having
the
due
diligence
to
restore
the
shoreline
in
these
areas.
M
One
thing
I
will
note
is
that
we
have
a
current
lccmr
funding
proposal
in
before
the
lccmr
that
has
been
received
positively.
It's
possible
that
lccmr
might
be
a
better
place
for
this
to
live,
seeing
as
its
restoration
focused
than
a
straight
bond
project,
but
again
that's
something
that
can
be
discussed
among
you.
The
four
million
dollars
included
here
would
include
some
land
acquisition,
but
that
has
and
definite
timelines,
and
then
alternate
funding
sources
have
been
found
for
most
of
the
Shearer
site.
As
we
well
know,
26th.
M
But
this
is
one
that
there's
a
lot
of
momentum
around
at
the
legislature,
particularly
with
representative
who
leave
Water
Works
Riverside
face
is
something
we
asked
for
for
the
first
time
last
year
as
Water
Works
mezzanine
phase,
which
is
the
sort
of
inland
phase,
begins
to
get
under
construction.
We
need
to
start
thinking
about
the
other
half
of
that
Park
and
we've
requested
some
state
bonding
to
bolster
the
funding
commitments
that
have
been
brought
forward
by
the
Minneapolis
Parks
Foundation
and
private
donors
to
help
with
that
project.
M
M
Of
right,
through
here
or
here
to
thing
which
Matthew
want
to
look
at
that
is
very
complicated
and
is
probably
more
of
a
long-term
project,
but
some
of
the
trail
ways
along
the
roads
on
the
northern
end
of
the
site
and
certainly
along
the
southern
end
of
the
site
on
27th,
could
move
forward
quickly.
We
are
actually
working
with
the
city
of
Minneapolis
to
do
some
work
along
Industrial
Boulevard
that
you
have
provided
CIP
funding
for,
but
this
would
allow
us
to
do
more
in
those
areas
in
the
near
future.
M
Through
Wirth
Park
and
then
down
the
Basset
Creek
Valley,
essentially
on
the
edge
of
North
Minneapolis
and
Southwest
Minneapolis,
we've
been
working
with
some
project
partners,
most
notably
the
city
and
actually
a
couple
of
developers
in
the
area
on
what
might
happen
in
the
Bassett
Creek
Valley
and
how
we
can
make
sure
that
there's
a
new
loose
line,
trail
connection
that
goes
through
there.
The
route
that
was
approved
in
the
north
service
area
master
plan
is
this
red
line
that
you
see.
M
M
Has
suggested
their
desire
to
sell
this
property,
it
is
for
sale.
We
are
reviewing
a
draft
appraisal
which
we
do
have
in
hand
for
the
line
through
Minneapolis
we've
commissioned
to
rip
an
appraisal,
and
we
just
have
to
do
some
tweaking
to
it.
As
I
mentioned.
This
was
approved
by
the
north
service
area
master
plan.
We
recently
held
an
interagency
asset,
creek
valley
summit
and
land
acquisition.
Here
was
a
top
priority.
We
will
be
convening
an
interagency
workgroup
to
look
at
that.
M
It
is
possible
because
of
the
way
the
rail
line
moves
through
Park
property,
as
well
as
development
sites,
that
the
rail
line
could
have
multiple
buyers
with
the
park
boards
serving
as
kind
of
a
lead,
buyer
and
then
state
bonds
would
only
be
able
to
purchase
that
portion
that
purchased
that
portion.
That
would
stay
with
us.
So
it's
a
complicated
project,
but
not
impossible,
and
then
we
do
have
an
allocation
in
the
CIP
to
the
loose
line
itself,
which
could.
M
For
implementation,
which
might
be
a
solid
construction
thing
if
we
were
to
do
a
request
like
this,
we
want
to
recommend
asking
for
two
to
four
million
dollars,
which
is
probably
about
the
range
that
the
park
portion
of
that
trail
line
would
cost.
The
North
Commons
community
center
is
a
vision
that
was
adopted
as
part
of
the
North
service
area
master
plan.
I
know,
there's
been
community
members,
since
the
adoption
of
that
plan
that
have
been
working
toward
this
and
sort
of
broadening
partnerships.
M
Because
of
the
scale
of
this.
These
improvements,
as
well
as
the
situation
of
the
park
in
kind
of
underserved
area
of
the
metro
and
of
the
state.
We
could
make
the
case
that
this
is
an
appropriate
bond
expenditure.
It
would
be
part
of
this
larger
vision
for
a
safe
space
which
would
involve
North,
Commons,
North
High
and
the
North
Community
YMCA.
It
is
a
significant
Rhian
visioning
in
North
Commons
Park.
As
we
all
know,
we
do
have
some
funding
allocated
in
the
CIP
for
North
Commons,
but
certainly
this
is
a
very,
very
large
project.
M
L
M
Or
anything
to
go
along
with
this,
but
I
certainly
wanted
to
acknowledge
the
community
LED
idea
to
create
a
permanent
home
for
the
museum
for
the
Somalia
Museum
of
Minnesota
in
the
m/v
RV
park
system.
This
doesn't
exist
in
any
currently
adopted,
MPR
B
plan.
However,
sometimes
public
agencies
do
serve
essentially
as
kind
of
a
fiscal
agent
or
a
sponsor
for
nonprofit
organizations
that
are
seeking
state
bonding.
The
city
does
this
on
occasion,
and
this
might
be
a
model
for
this
particular
piece
and
the
recommended
funding
request
at
this
point
is
unknown.
M
I,
just
simply
didn't
have
enough
information
before
tonight
to
put
a
number
in
front
of
you,
so
essentially
here's
the
project.
So
the
list
of
the
projects
that
I
have
noted
before
you
tonight
and
again
I'm
trying
to
wrap
up
and
give
you
a
pause
president
Boren
at
about
5:30,
but
these
four
here
are
the
ones
that
were
submitted
in
the
preliminary
request
and
are
in
the
current
legislative
agenda
to
be
bond.
Requests.
M
I
just
want
to
note
a
couple
of
things
as
we
go
through
here
and
have
this
conversation,
the
Mississippi
River,
habitat
restoration,
public
water
access
project
again
this.
This
is
a
project
that
has
not
gained
a
lot
of
traction
in
the
state
direct
bonding
world,
but
has
been
pretty
well
received
in
this
round
of
lccmr
and
has
scored
highly
throughout
the
proceedings.
So
far,
it's
possible
that
that
might
be
a
better
source
for
this
particular
work,
which
is
about
habitat,
restoration
and
aquatics.
It
seems
more
potentially
more
aligned
with
us
tomorrow.
M
M
Maybe
even
some
that
comes
in
from
the
Bottineau
leg,
rail
funding
that
comes
forward.
So
this
is
one
I
just
question:
do
we
go
to
the
state,
or
do
we
really
look
more
with
our
sort
of
local
regional
partners
to
do
this?
North
Commons
community
center
there's
there's
a
quite
a
lack
of
clarity
on
a
match
right
now,
I'll
just
be
straight
up
about
that.
We
just
don't
know
kind
of
what
additional
funding
could
come
from
the
private
sector
or
from
the
community.
M
However,
sometimes
when
you
have
a
big
aspirational
project,
it's
worth
getting
in
front
of
legislature
legislators
because
you
don't
often
get
that
on
the
first
round,
and
that
was
true
of
the
sculpture
garden.
It
was
true
of
her
Harbor,
so
that's
just
one
I'll
kind
of
put
in
question
there
and
then,
as
I
mentioned
this
Somali
Museum
of
Minnesota,
it
could
be
sort
of
a
sponsorship
or
partnership.
M
M
I
A
Thank
You
president
born
is
hoping
the
commissioner
from
the
first
District
would
give
us
a
feel
for
what
he
thought
about
the
north
commons
community
center
being
on
this
list.
So
perhaps
his
light
still
on
he'll
go
back
to
he'll,
bring
the
conversation
back
to
that.
The
the
thing
I'm
not
seeing
on
here,
but
that
I
am
seeing
a
huge
need
for
in
the
system,
is
our
ability
to
adapt
to
climate
change
and
it's
impacts
on
our
infrastructure.
A
We
regularly
are
getting
communications
about
trails
that
are
impassable
or
that
have
fallen
into
a
water
body
or
roads
that
are
flooding
athletic
fields
that
are
flooding
so
on
and
so
forth.
So
I
understand
that
much
of
our
regional
system
we're
spending
our
our
funding
on
temporary
temporarily
addressing
some
of
these
issues,
but
not
doing
the
big
scale,
changes
that
are
required
to
not
continually
experience
these
conditions,
so
I'm
wondering
if
it
would
behoove
us
to
potentially
talk
with
our
partners
at
the
city.
A
The
watershed
districts
that
we
have
here
in
the
city,
about
partnering
on
a
bonding
request
to
ask
the
state
for
money
to
begin
implementing
the
components
of
our
master
plans
that
really
address
the
large-scale
impacts
of
climate
change
to
people's
ability
to
use
our
system.
I
know
my
district
really
well,
I,
don't
I,
don't
know
all
the
master
plans
for
every
other
district,
but
there
are
a
number
of
areas
where
we
are
talking
about
really
large
changes
in
terms
of
reconfiguring
the
way
trails
exist
and
the
way
land
exists
within
the
system.
A
B
I
Severson,
okay,
I'll
respond,
Thank,
You,
Kristin
usage.
You
know,
there's
a
lot
of
exciting
northsiders
about
North
Commons
Park
that
are
really
trying
to
lead
to
some
dishes
too.
If
I
would
probably
say,
Brett
Buckner
is
doing
a
lot
of
the
organizing
work
around
it.
I
would
be
interested
in
seeing
this.
This
would
be
a
great
asset
for
North
Minneapolis,
particularly
the
lower
end
of
North
Minneapolis,
which
obviously
needs
infrastructure
improvement.
Programming
improvement.
You
know
basically
all
around,
but
financially,
that
is
a
big
number
and
and
I
would
really
encourage
our
superintendent.
I
Anyone
else
to
be
an
atom
to
be
inventive
and
strategic
in
may
be
yeah.
Mr.
rice
can
pull
a
rabbit
out
of
the
hat
type
of
deal
right.
He
knows
he
knows
where
some
money
is
it
at
times,
but
but,
most
importantly,
I
think
the
idea
is
getting
this
in
front
of
Senator
Bob
Dole
champion
I
just
text
him,
as
we
were
talking
about
this
and
and
like
I
said.
Hopefully,
this
can
be
a
four
or
five
year
plan,
if
not
a
10.
B
You,
commissioner,
see
we're
sitting
before
I
move
on
I'll,
just
note
that
the
time
is
5:30.
It's
our
it's
open
time
where
we
take
public
public
comment
from
folks
in
the
audience
on
virtually
any
topic
before
I
get
into
the
rules
and
our
requests
during
open
time.
We'll
just
note
that
I
have
no
speakers
signed
up
for
open
time,
but
I
just
wanted
to
clarify.
Is
there
anyone
in
the
audience
that
was
here
to
address
the
board
this
evening?
That
did
not
have
an
opportunity
to
sign
up
on
the
list?
B
K
Our
slide
anyway,
the
loose
line,
whatever
continuation
and
everything
to
me,
is
it
it's
something
that
we've
been
talking
about.
It's
it's
a
vision
that
you
know
has
been
and
I'm
very,
very
excited
by
this
and
hope
that
that
it
can
be
added
to
the
the
list.
I
guess
I
should
back
up
now.
Okay,
thank
you.
K
As
far
as
what
we
currently
have
I'm
very
happy
to
continue
to
support
that.
As
far
as
the
Grand
Rounds,
missing,
link,
I
think
was
interesting.
The
way
that
you
parse
out
that
and
wondering
whether
or
not
would
we
have
more
success
if
we
parse
out
that
request,
the
quote,
unquote
easier
portions,
you
know
anyway,
that's
just
I
leave
that
up
to
the
professionals
to
advise
on
that,
but
I
appreciate
you
pointing
that
out.
K
The
loose
line
as
I
started
to
say
is
something
that
yes
and
the
more
sponsors
or
partners
that
we
can
get
in.
That
would
be
marvelous.
The
North
comments
I,
agree
and
appreciate
that
you
aid
in
Commissioner
Severson
on
that
because
it
is
been
a
vision
and
whereas
unfortunately,
the
museum,
it
doesn't
seem
to
me
that
it
has
been
a
part
of
our
vision.
I
know
it
was
asked
how
many
museums
we
presently
have
relationships
with,
and
there
is
one
and
it's
been
over
a
hundred
years
and
it's
a
unique,
very
unique
situation.
M
M
K
The
easy
now
I,
thank
you
for
that
clarification,
I
thought.
If
we,
it
was
the
whole
missing
link
to
us
that
not
okay,
thank
you,
and
once
again
you
know,
if
that's
the
situation,
that
we
think
that
we
could
move
if
it
was
separated
it
apart
at
whatever
it
just.
Thank
you
for
pointing
it
out.
They
answer
your
question.
Thanks
Adam
Fisher,.
F
B
Commissioner
Meyer
I
can
address
that
question.
The
staff
had
put
forward
a
request
to
put
it
on
the
full
boards
agenda.
I
complied
with
that
request
to
put
it
on
the
full
boards
agenda
that
no
I
think
could
be
heard
from
all
of
our
staff
and
those
future
conversations
can
be
directed
to
the
IGR
ijr
committee.
For
your
looking
for
a
responsibility.
E
M
F
Will
all
come
back
before
we
make
any
changes
so
the
letters
they
were
done?
It
was
like
right,
yes,
okay,
that
was
the
key
thing
that
I
wanted
to
make
sure
happen,
because
we
did
put
a
lot
of
work
into
that
and
we
didn't
write
or
attach
them
and
I'm
very
supportive
of
adding
some
of
these
items
to
that
legislative
agenda,
but
want
to
make
sure
that
word,
you
know
still
respecting
that
work
and
properly
prioritizing
the
projects.
L
M
In
its
some
president
born
Commissioner
Meyer,
it's
always
a
bit
of
an
odd
schedule
thing,
because
the
bond
requests
are
due,
and
so
they
get
out
ahead
of
the
next
legislative
agenda
for
the
next
session.
So
that's
why
we
typically
bring
a
formal
action
for
what
our
bond
request
is
and
then
that
ends
up
in
the
next
legislative.
M
N
M
Boren
commissioner
kögel
I
am
looking
to
sort
of
get
a
get
a
some
guidance
from
the
board,
primarily
on
what
are
the
priority
projects
for
you
and
what
things
you
think
should
be
in
the
bond
request.
Obviously,
understanding
that
sometimes
throwing
everything
at
the
wall
isn't
effective,
we
might
need
to
have
some
things
drop
off.
I
do
have
some
thoughts,
but
I
didn't
necessarily
want
to
preemptive
discussion
by
by
sharing
that,
in
the
beginning,
gotcha
great.
N
So
I
I
don't
know
if
this
is
the
best
time,
but
I
certainly
appreciate
having
two
Somali
Museum
of
Minnesota
on
there.
I
think
that
is
a
fantastic
idea
and
I
would
love
to
see
that
be
fleshed
out.
While
it
hasn't
been
in
guidance
in
past
planning
efforts.
Neither
have
we
had
the
perspective
and
advocacy
that's
necessary
to
incorporate
that
in
the
past
and
I
think
that
the
initial
discussions
are
promising
and
finding
a
site
for
that
and
funding
for
that
would
would
be
high
in
my
list
of
priorities.
N
Certainly,
the
loose
line
trail
is
something
that
I've
been
interested
in
since
I
began
it
in
this
position
and
would
love
to
see
that
yeah.
Those
two
are
big
priorities
and
in
fact
all
three
that
are
kind
of
new
that
are
not
in
the
current
legislative
agenda
are
I.
Think
of
greater
interest
to
me
personally
and
I
certainly
would
be
interested
in
hearing
from
other
commissioners
about
the
give-and-take
of
what
we
would
be
swapping
out,
because
trajector
are
Vince's.
Point
I
would
be
concerned
about
just
putting
all
seven
of
these
forward
as
my
thoughts
Thank.
B
B
We
had
a
pretty
timely
and
I
think
important
request
from
representative
manure
and
some
folks
in
the
community
to
to
get
that
ready.
So,
even
if
it's
not
ready
this
year,
I
think
the
more
that
we
can
start
envisioning.
What
that
partnership
looks
like
would
be
a
very
good
use
of
staff
time
so,
but
seeing
no
further
discussion.
Mr.
M
I
think
we
can
pull
something
together,
that
that
balance
is
what
we
heard
and
again
this
will
come
back
to
the
board
in
the
next
month,
or
so
with
a
formal
resolution
through
the
legislative
committee,
which
then
can
obviously
be
amended
and
discussed
by
board
members
both
have
the
committee
and
the
folder.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
You
mr.
Arvidsson
moving
on
I
would
entertain
a
resolution
for
2019
282
support
for
the
participation
of
the
Minneapolis
Park
and
Recreation
Board
as
a
host
site
in
the
2019
2020
green
Corps
program
in
partnership
with
the
Minnesota
Pollution
Control
Agency,
to
assist
with
waste
reduction,
recycling
and
organics
management
initiatives,
so
moved
it's
there's
a
resolution
is
there
a
second
second
been
moved
and
seconded
any
discussion.
Seeing
none
could.
K
O
O
O
What
we're
looking
for
here
is
a
somebody
to
help
us
with
identifying
large-scale
improvements
to
divert
waste
from
landfills
or
incinerators
into
more
recycling,
more
organics
and
doing
some
of
the
the
work,
the
research
to
figure
out
where
we
can
get
the
most
bang
for
our
buck
on
this
to
identify
new
opportunities,
and
things
like
that
that
we
haven't
previously
had
the
staff
over
the
time
to
look
into
there's
this.
Just
a
huge
volume
here
and
a
lot
of
money
that
goes
into
managing
these
Rize.
Sorry.
O
But
building
on
that
infrastructure,
we've
put
in
place
in
those
programs,
we've
put
in
place
is
really
our
goal.
With
this,
this
initiative
a
little
bit
more
background
on
the
Minnesota
green
Corps.
It
is
an
AmeriCorps
for
I'm
sponsored
and
operated
by
the
Minnesota
Pollution
Control
Agency,
the
AmeriCorps
person
member
works
for
the
Minnesota
Pollution
Control
Agency.
O
Part
of
this
will
be
education
of
staff,
and
that
includes
preparing
materials,
whether
they're
written
materials
for
customer
service
to
use
on
the
phone
or
guides
that
are
given
to
new
hires.
So
they
understand
the
difference
between
recycling
and
organics
as
they
work
in
our
building
in
some
facilities.
O
We
would
like
to
include
a
public
awareness
component
to
this
person's
work,
whether
that's
through
social
media
or
email,
blasts
or
new
signage,
that
we
put
in
parks
to
help
people
learn
about
the
ever-changing
rules
around
organics
or
cycling
through
Minneapolis
and
the
Neapolis
Park
and
Recreation
for
the
park
system.
We'd
like
them
to
do
some
research
projects
for
us
as
well,
whether
it's
alternative
materials
and
supplies
green
purchasing
things
that
we
can
build
on,
but
but
haven't
had
the
time
to
explore
fully.
O
Sometimes
that's
as
simple
as
calling
other
Park
systems
and
asking
them
what
they
do
other
times.
It's
it's
really
a
lot
of
reading
and
writing
up
so
that
we
can
get
things
in
front
of
staff
or
the
board
for
that
matter,
to
really
evaluate
and
see
if
it's
a
good
fit
for
our
organization
and,
lastly,
new
opportunities.
O
There
are
things
we
do
that
really
we
haven't
looked
at
critically
in
a
long
time,
whether
they're
contracts
for
management
of
solid
waste
or
things
that
other
cities
are
doing,
that
it
is
not
on
my
or
any
of
our
radars
at
this
time.
We
want
this
person
who
spent
a
lot
of
time
getting
to
know
our
system
early
on,
so
that
they
can
bring
up
those
new
opportunities
and
identify
things
that
we
hadn't
thought
of
before
the
green
core
program
is
a
statewide
initiative.
O
O
Talking
to
cut
customer
service.
The
number
one
set
of
emails
that
I
get
forwarded
from
customer
service
to
help
answer
from
from
the
public
is
around
trash,
recycling
and
organics.
What
do
we
do?
What's
correct?
What
have
we
tried?
Writing
up?
Some
of
that
and
making
a
you
know
a
guidebook
or
a
cheat
sheet
that
helps
the
answer.
These
questions,
the
public,
is
something
we
like
this
person
to
help
work
on.
So
this
is
really
somebody
we
want
to
bring
these
initiatives
occur,
which
belong
to
multiple
departments
into
play.
O
B
You
thank
you
seeing
no
further
discussion,
all
those
in
favor
of
resolution
2019
to
80,
please
signify
by
saying
aye,
aye
opposed
abstentions.
The
motion
carries
moving
on
to
petitions
and
communications
I've.
If
he's
ready,
I
had
a
request
to
start
with
superintendent,
Bangor
I
just
had
something
else
to
add.
Thank.
H
H
B
J
Than
the
first
time
you
acknowledged
them,
and
then
you
they're
all
like.
Oh
not
again.
Thank
you
all
for
coming.
Thanks
for
all
your
questions
before
the
meeting
started,
we
really
one
of
the
young
men
asked
if
the
meeting
was
gonna.
What
what
we
think
was
going
to
happen
in
the
meeting
Commissioner
Kobe,
oh
and
I
kind
of
said.
Well,
you
never
know
and
I
think
this
is
the
first
time
since
I've
served
that
no
one
has
spoke
for
over
in
open
time.
So
there
you
have
it.
Sometimes
there
is
50,
sometimes
there's
no.
J
So
it's
a
little
bit
more
quiet
today,
but
you're
always
welcome
to
come
back
and
attend
meetings
whenever
you
want
and
they'll
always
be
different
I
guarantee
you
that
it
will
always
be
different.
I
think
the
superintendent
also
acknowledged
safety
camp
safety
camp
was
absolutely
wonderful.
I
wouldn't
know
what
Commissioner
Severson
and
I
were
there
together
for
the
barbecue
celebration
for
safety,
camp
Leslie
and
Adam
did
a
great
job.
They
pulled
together
a
team
of
people
that
really
made
it
different.
There
was
Park
Police
there.
There
were
state
troopers
there.
J
There
were
Minneapolis
k-9,
they're
teaching,
kids
about
the
dogs.
There
were
I,
think
they
partnered
with
PCYC
and
some
of
the
youth,
the
local
youth
camps.
The
group
was
super,
diverse,
the
young
people
having
a
great
time.
The
barbecue
allows
for
parents
and
family
members
to
come
in
and
also
learn
about
what
the
children
are
engaging
in
their
safety
camp,
and
it
was
just
absolutely
wonderful
event.
It
was
a
great
way
for
me
to
spend
my
workday
lunch
hour
meeting
young
people
who
frequent
our
parks
and
youth
services
in
our
parks.
J
I
met
two
young
ladies
May
Ronnie
and
Farr
tune
that
both
work
at
Whittier
they're,
a
part
of
the
parks
pathway
program,
and
they
just
walked
up
to
me
and
start
talking
to
me
about
how
they
were
in
the
program
before
and
now
they're
mentors,
and
they
took
a
group
of
young
people
on
public
transportation
and
how
they
would
nervous
at
first.
But
it
was
great
that
you
know
they
made
it
back
safely.
They
invited
me
to
a
bike
ride
at
Whittier
Park.
J
It
was
just
great
to
hear
young
people
talk
about
their
experiences
in
our
parks
and
how
it's
happened
in
year
after
year
after
year
for
them.
So
again,
thanks
to
everyone,
Larry
Umphrey
did
a
great
job
and
making
that
this
also
was
kicked
off
in
a
big
way.
When
I
talked
to
staff,
they
said
Larry
said
make
it
great.
That's
it
just
making
great
and
then
was
it
was
absolutely
great.
It
was
it
was.
It
was
a
lot
of
fun
and
then
the
second
thing
I
attended
my
first
of
the
st.
J
L
J
It
was,
it
was
a
great
time
we
got
to
tour
the
tunnels
that
I
didn't
even
know
we're
there
and
I
think
they
said
something
like
5,000
people
toward
them,
for
open
doors,
meaning
a
police,
or
something
like
that.
So
it
was
great
to
see
that
again
another
opportunity
right
here
in
our
city
that
is
available
for
people
that
was
like
who
knew
it
was
there.
Maybe
Commissioner
Maya
knew
it
was
there,
but
I
didn't
know.
It
was
good
I
think
that
that's
all
for
me,
I,
think.
That's
all
for
me.
Thank.
J
F
Also
enjoyed
the
tour
of
Pillsbury
amo
I
was
on
the
Neighborhood
Association
when
we
approved
that
building
originally
I
was
very
close
to
being
demolished
because
it
was
unsafe.
So
I
was
glad
that
we
were
able
to
save
that
because,
as
they
noted
during
the
tour,
there's
a
lot
of
potential
there
to
help
create
a
tunnel
to
build
access
to
Pillsbury
park
across
the
street
because
they
already
have
an
elevator
that
goes
down
there.
F
We
had
our
third
mudslide
in
five
years
today,
someone's
becoming
on
a
real
problem.
For
us.
This
one
was
on
East
River
Parkway
and
like
Superintendent
finger
I
already
talked
about
I
went
and
visited
the
site
this
afternoon.
It's
gonna
be
closed,
at
least
until
the
weekend,
because
there's
going
to
be
more
rain,
coming
and
possibly
more
sliding
happening,
but
grateful
to
the
staff
at
the
city
of
the
University
on
the
park
board
in
the
county.
Further
Swift
work
on
that.
F
Lastly,
I've
been
getting
a
lot
of
complaints
about
the
drinking
fountains
being
out
of
order
along
the
riverfront
I.
Don't
know,
other
commissioners
have
gotten
that
as
well,
but
it's
just
a
coincidence
that
they
have
all
happened
to
be
broken
along
river
fun.
It's
not
that
they're
not
turned
on
or
something
they
are
broken.
F
There
are
severe
problems
with
several
of
the
pipes
and
they've
been
working
as
swiftly
as
they
can
invited.
You
know
it's
gonna
take
a
while
before
we
get
them
back
together,
I've
been
working
with
assistant
superintendent
barek
on
this
I
I.
Do
think
that
since
they've
been
out
of
operation
for
so
long,
it's
if
they're
all
along
the
river,
we
should
probably
start
putting
signs
up
because
people
walk
up
to
them
and
expecting
them
to
work,
and
then
they
don't
but
yeah.
F
N
You
president
born
I
have
a
couple
of
items
to
discuss.
First
I've
been
contacted
by
many
constituents
regarding
the
fish
kills
that
are
happening
in
Cedar
Lake
and
like
the
Isles
and
throughout
the
system,
which
is
really
unfortunate,
but
I
have
appreciated
the
communication
of
staff
so
that
I'm
informed
enough
to
provide
everybody.
N
A
good
amount
of
background
as
to
why
that's
happening
in
the
oxygen
levels.
Lower
deeper
in
the
lakes.
I
know
that
it's
concerning
to
folks
and
just
know
that
every
staff
and
DNR
and
everybody
is
working
diligently
to
understand.
What's
going
on
and
staff
are
cleaning
up,
the
the
fish
that
are
coming
up
against
the
shores.
N
I
also
wanted
to
mention
ahead
of
the
operations
and
Environment
Committee,
that
I
to
that
I
intend
to
bring
forward
an
amendment
to
the
agenda,
to
discuss
resolution
2019
to
81
regarding
an
action
to
consider
recommendations,
of
course,
for
staff
to
consider
recommendations
to
advance
single
use
plastics
in
events.
This
is
something
that
I
brought
up
consistently
a
couple
of
different
times
at
petitions
and
communications
over
the
last
four
months.
I
think
that
waiting
is
a
disservice
of
the
people
of
the
city
of
Minneapolis.
N
It's
something
that
I
brought
forward
to
the
superintendent,
and
this
is
the
form
it
took
on
the
agenda,
and
so,
while
I
appreciate
Commissioner
musicians
desire
to
have
a
process
that
is
consistent,
I'm
hoping
that
she'll
consider
adding
it
to
the
agenda
so
that
we
can
have
a
discussion.
A
public
discussion
about
the
values
of
having
staff
consider
actions
that
will
let
us
have
plastics
free
events
in
our
system.
I
think
it's
a
disservice
to
the
public
of
the
city
of
Minneapolis.
To
not
have
that
discussion
and
I
thought.
N
B
N
B
If
that
moves
forward
out
of
committee
I
would
entertain
a
motion
to
suspend
the
rules
to
add
the
item
to
the
pool
agenda,
to
add
the
Ender
to
the
full
board,
which
will
require
six
votes
so
I
will
I
will
suspend
the
meeting
tonight
and
we'll
see
how
our
ovis
recess
the
meetings
and
we'll
see
how
we'll
see
how
your
operations
Environment
Committee,
goes.
I,
understand,
I,
understand
and
share
the
urgency
with
the
agenda
item
Commissioner
morning,
Thank.
K
K
Yes
was
at
the
st.
Anthony
Falls
Heritage
Board
meeting
and
I'm
delighted
to
hear
that
two
commissioners,
as
Lisa
had
a
wonderful
time
doing
the
tour
a
touring,
and
it
seemed
as
if
the
superintendent
also
had
a
good
time.
In
spite
of
the
fact
that
some
5000,
though
people
saw
those
tunnels,
I'm
just
really
upset
about
the
fact
that
our
own
assistant,
superintendent
of
planning
has
never
been
in
those
and
so
yeah
exactly
and
there's
just
so
many
things
like
that.
K
That
staff
is
whatever
they're
locked
into
their
offices
down
there
and
they
don't
get
out
so
I
hope
that
we
can
get
that
arranged
and
as
well,
I
have
advocated
for
getting
the
entire
planning
department
to
go
to
waterworks.
The
Minneapolis
were
our
source
of
water
is
so
I'm
hoping
that
that
will
happen,
and
you
all
can
see
it.
K
There's
some
amazing
infrastructure
things
throughout
that
people
don't
know
about
anyway,
and
and
as
commissioner
Mayer
indicated
architect,
Tom
Meyers,
you
did
make
a
proposal
of
several
different
designs
of
how
there
could
be
some
interactive
entrance
exit
to
our
parks
from
the
email,
because
it
is
I
mean
it's
it.
It
speaks
to
literally
the
foundation
of
this
city's.
K
You
know,
evolution
and
so
I
hope
that
that's
something
that
we
will
stay
tuned
to
and
I
appreciate
the
enthusiasm
of
that
I
had
a
meeting
with
the
Parks
Foundation
development
of
Finance,
their
regular
meetings
and
I
just
have
to
applaud
them
as
far
as
constantly
thinking
of
innovative
ways
to
how
we
can
support
or
financially
support
our
system
here,
I'm
excited
that
next
week.
Excuse
me
this
week,
yeah
this
week.
K
But
I
went
to
the
unity
of
American
woman's
art
exhibits,
it's
utterly
amazing.
Everybody!
Please
I,
encourage
you
to
go
to
that
and
I
wish
that
I
thought
of
that
earlier.
When
we
had
the
discussion
about
the
bonding
and
if
there
is
any
over-the-top
obvious
Museum
that
we
should
be
engaging
in,
it
really
should
be
Native
American.
K
K
Am
I
okay,
I
apologize,
okay,
but
I,
just
I
hope
that
people
will
be
open
to
that
that
it
really
is
something
that's
so
underserved
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
give
my
out
hi,
and
so,
if
Adam,
if
you
can
stick
that
into
your
little
thought,
pocket
of
of
potential
bonding
ideas
that
I
think
is
is
paramount
that
that
story
needs
to
be
told.
A
You
president
Boren
I
got
it
I,
had
the
opportunity
last
night
to
go
to
the
first
girls
bike
program
event
that
was
funded
through
the
innovation,
the
wealthy
tech
innovation
funding
that
was
put
in
place
in
our
budget
last
year.
It
was
just
really
fabulous
to
be
able
to
see
these
young
women
growing
their
confidence.
It's
it's
something
that
really
gave
me
a
lot
of
joy
because,
often
times
you
see
young
women
not
lacking
a
lot
of
confidence
and
not
having
that
confidence
encouraged
or
grown
by
the
environments.
A
That
they're
in
in
this
program
really
clearly
is
helping
them
to
grow
that
confidence,
and
it
just
made
my
heart
grow
to
sizes,
larger
I,
think
so
for
those
of
you
that
might
be
interested
they
meet
on
Tuesday.
They
meet
up
at
Nokomis
keaney
center.
It's
it's
a
really
awesome
thing
to
see.
They
will
be
in
venturing
further
afield,
but
that's
where
they
start
in
it.
It's
cool
to
see.
A
So
if
you
have
an
opportunity-
or
you
feel
I-
think
you
have
an
interest
in
that,
I
would
recommend
you
check
it
out,
as
it
continues
to
be
incredibly
hot
and
humid
and
crazy
I
just
wanted
to
let
people
know
that
there
are
a
number
of
cooling
centers
throughout
the
city,
some
of
which
are
park
buildings,
most
of
which
are
owned
by
the
county
or
the
library
system.
All
of
them
are
found
on
the
Hennepin
County
website
on
a
maps.
A
If
you,
google,
cooling
centers,
you
can
find
a
place
to
stay
cool
if
you
do
not
have
access
to
air
conditioning
in
your
home
and
I
also
would
like
to
apologize
to
my
colleagues
from
the
first
and
second
Park
District's
for
not
not
remembering
that
that
the
second
district
is
north
and
the
first
district
is
north
east
and
south
east
Minneapolis,
so
I
apologize
for
flipping
those
in
my
head.
It's
always
seemed
in
Congress
to
me
that
we
would
number
them
in
such
a
way
as
to
go.
F
C
A
K
E
B
Music
vice
president
Hassan
opus
I
will
I
will
just
and
I
want
to
thank
our
staff
and
our
friends
at
the
University
of
Minnesota
and
our
other
partner
agencies
for
responding
so
quickly
to
the
soil
movement
along
the
river.
Today
and
very
fortunately,
nobody
was
hurt
and
we'll
continue
to
monitor
the
situation
and
our
staff
is
available
to
anyone.
That's
out
there
watching
tonight
that
that
wants
to
that
has
any
questions
about
the
recreational
impact
on
on
the
trail
and
potentially
the
Parkway.
B
A
A
A
F
Like
to
amend
the
agenda
to
add
resolutions,
a
1931,
a
resolution
directing
staff
to
prepare
lists
of
actions
are
recommendations
for
the
August
7
2018,
regular
meeting
him
the
board
of
commissioners.
Yes,
that
will
allow
them
in
you
have
less
parking
recreation
words
advancing
what
these
plastics
and.
L
G
A
I
have
a
lot
of
questions
about
this,
so
maybe
let's
get
it
on
the
agenda,
so
we
can
discuss
it
further.
So
we
understand
what
it
is
exactly
we're
talking
about.
So
all
those
in
favor
of
the
amendment
and
then
I
have
to
vote
on
the
amendment
then
anagen.
So
all
those
in
favor
of
the
amendment
please
signify
by
saying
aye.
F
A
G
G
A
N
Would
like
to
move
resolution
2019
to
81
a
resolution
directing
staff
to
prepare
a
list
of
actions
and
recommendations
for
the
August
7th
2019
regular
meeting
of
the
Board
of
Commissioners.
That
will
allow
the
Minneapolis,
Park
and
Recreation
Board
to
ban
single-use
plastics
and
events
in
the
new
Minneapolis,
Park
and
Recreation
system
by
April.
The
1st
2020.
N
I,
don't
have
any
questions,
but
I
will
like
to
start
by
introducing
this
and
then
turning
it
over
to
secretary
wrinkled
or
Deputy
Superintendent,
ringgold
I
know
this
is
in
within
operations
and
environment.
I
think
that
it
kind
of
traverses
a
variety
of
potential
committees
so
to
Commissioner
Forney's
point
this
could
come
up
a
whole
board
or
at
administration
and
Finance
or
here,
but
the
idea
is
to
identify
steps
that
can
be
taken
to
swiftly
move
us
towards
a
single-use
plastic
free
event.
N
D
You,
chair
music
commissioners,
so,
as
we
had
heard
earlier
tonight
in
about
2009,
there
had
been
a
sustainability
plan
approved
by
the
board.
There
were
several
different
elements
to
it,
including
an
events
go
green.
So
when
this
concept
of
a
banning
the
single-use
plastics
came
up,
we
pulled
a
few
people
together,
just
to
see
what
still
exists.
D
I
was
delighted
to
find
that
there's
actually
quite
a
bit
still
intact
from
the
work
that
we
had
been
doing
in
2009,
which
is
which
is
quite
good
to
see
when
you
do
work
like
that,
you
like
to
see
it
continue
and
there
are
requirements
around
our
guidelines.
I
should
say
that
had
been
developed
around
events
go
green
that
look
at
waste
and
composting
in
all
of
those
pieces.
D
Many
of
the
events
that
struggle
the
greatest
to
comply
are
those
that
are
distance
events,
whether
that
be
biking
or
running
or
other
types
of
pieces,
and
those
those
events
would
actually
benefit
from
having
some
type
of
improvement
in
our
system,
in
particular
water,
hookups
or
additional
aspects
around
transportation
coming
in
them
those
types
of
pieces,
but
considering
the
plastics
piece.
The
the
concept
of
additional
water
hookups
in
particular,
was
something
that
came
up
before
going
much
further.
Staff
would
want
to
create
a
list
of
actions
and
recommendations.
D
Some
of
those
would
have
potentially
a
monetary
component
associated
with
them.
Some
of
them
might
be
more
political
policy
type
of
pieces
and,
in
some
cases,
perhaps
even
intergovernmental,
working
with
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
but
wanted
to
be
able
to.
If
the
board
so
chose
to
be
able
to
put
together
a
list
of
what
those
items
would
be,
that
would
be
then
position
the
board
to
effectively
implement
a
ban,
knowing
that
folks
would
be
able
to
comply.
D
So
that
is
the
kind
of
background
behind
it
in
the
level
of
information
that
we
have
been
able
to
gather
to
explore
it,
one
of
the
things
that
staff
did
feel
really
strongly
about
is
when
we
think
of
the
waste
that
we
have
the
plastics
that
we
have
in
our
system.
There's,
certainly
those
that
we
create
ourselves
through
our
buildings
like
this.
D
There
are
those
that
happen
through
events
that
we
do
in
our
system,
but
a
large
proportion
of
the
waste,
especially
the
plastic
waste
that
we
have
comes
from
individuals
who
buy
something
at
a
coffee
shop.
They
buy
something
at
their
local
grocery
store,
and
then
they
deposit
it
within
our
system
or
perhaps
don't
deposit
it
within
the
proper
receptacle
within
the
system.
So
some
of
the
things
that
staff
really
felt
strongly
as
well,
the
events
are
important
and
they
feel
like
we
can
quickly
get
there.
F
F
You
know
I
share
term
researchers,
you
know
pet
peeve
them
when
something's
labeled
a
resolution
is
having
omar
as
and
therefore
clauses.
I
think.
Instead
we
should
have
a
separate
category
for
a
staff
directive
when
it's
you
know,
and
a
commissioner
coming
forward
with
something
where
they
want
to.
You
know
basically
have
staff
go
look
at
something:
it's
basically
a
dozen.
You
know
the
board
saying
we
want
staff
to
dedicate
their
time
to
this
and
then
come
back
to
us
with
recommendations
and
a
plan,
and
we
had
a
similar
thing
with
this.
F
With
the
pilot
that
I
put
forward
for
the
pedestrianisation
project
and
I
think
we
showed
you,
maybe
he's
amend
our
rules
or
just
standardized
that
process.
But
what
would
I
see
this?
Basically
being?
Is
you
know
the
board
saying
this
is
something
that
we
have
enough
interest
in
to
have
the
staff
spend
their
time
on
and
take
a
closer
look
make
some
recommendations.
F
You
know
the
language.
Maybe
it
goes
a
little
bit
further
than
I'm
prepared
to
fully
get
on
with
you
know
the
full
ban.
You
know,
Commissioner
Koval
and
I
tried
to
go
plastic
free
for
the
month
of
April.
It
was
very
hard
so
I,
you
know,
I
respect
that
it's
difficult
to
get
to
a
hundred
percent,
or
maybe
language
like
come
back
to
us
with
recommendations
to
restrict
or
limit
the
use
of
plastics
plastics
would
be
more
appropriate.
But
at
this
point
it's
really
just
a
staff
directive
to
look
at
the
issue.
That's
that's
something.
K
You
chairman
suits
I'm,
not
in
this
committee,
but
first
of
all
I.
Thank
you
for
reminding
us
that
you
have
done
some
research
on
this
and
the
difficulty
in
complying
I
feel
like
I'm
neurotic.
As
far
as
when
it
comes
to
platic
six,
it
just
drives
me
nuts,
and
what's
it
called
plotting
or
something
like
that.
It's
when
you're
running
and
you
stop
and
you
pick
up
the
litter
and
everything
I've
become
a
pointer.
K
Thank
you
anyway.
So
I'm
totally
excited
about
this,
but
I
have
a
lot
of
concerns.
Number
one
is
since
you've
already
kind
of
researched,
and
you
realize
is
you
know:
Commissioner
IR
indicated
that
the
difficulty
in
complying,
and
so
whether
or
not
really
should
be
more
of
an
educational
thing
or
an
alert
thing
you
know
at
whatever
we
might
be
in
that
realm
in
one
of
the
things
that
I
always
think
about
is
those
horrible
cigarette
butts.
The
people
are
just
you
know,
totally
unaware.
K
You
know
that
they're
tossing
about
their
windows
or
you
know
walking
around
whatever.
Anyway.
How
do
you
ban
that
type
of
thing?
But
you
know
consciousness-raising
about
how
this
does
impact
on
our
environment.
You
know
this
is
I
think
would
be
impossibly.
That's
more.
The
angle
we
go
and
then
my
other
concern
and
I
appreciate
that
it
was
referred
to
is
about
stacked
staff
directives.
K
How
imperative
I
mean
we've
got
this
poor
planning
departments
that
are
completely
locked
down
in
their
offices
down
there,
because
they've
got
so
much
work.
Okay
is
that
if
something
is
new
is
put
on
by
Commissioner
directive
and
everything
we
had
to
take
something
off,
and
how
do
we
prioritize
that
so
I
just
really
am
sensitive
to
that
that
you
know
you
all
a
staff,
a
great
deal,
that's
on
your
plate
and
that
we
need
to
be
cognizant.
K
Cuz
I
could
probably
popcorn
all
sorts
of
ideas
of
things
I'd
like
you
to
do,
but
you
know
how
it
fits
into
the
queue
I
think
is
something
we
need
to
have
either
direction
from
you
direction
from.
You
know,
superintendent
of
how
it's
approached
so
otherwise.
I
mean
I'm
delighted
any
way
that
we
can
curb
plastics
in
our
parks.
Yes,.
E
F
C
D
Is
that
you
as
a
board,
would
look
at
what
we
would
bring
forward
as
the
things
that
would
need
to
fall
into
place,
and
then
you
could
scale
it
so
so
the
vision
here
would
be.
We
would
prepare
a
list
we'd
bring
that
to
you
on
April,
7th,
on
Apr,
sorry,
August,
7th
on
August
21st.
We
would
bring
an
action
item
to
a
committee
level
where
that
you
would
then
be
determining
which
things
you
actually
want
to
do,
and
that
would
come
up
to
the
full
board.
D
So
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that,
but
there's
clarity
around
by
by
saying
something
to
a
band
level
means
you
get
the
the
full
extent
of
a
recommendation.
And
then
you
can
scale
that
back
to
education,
you
can
you
can
seal
that
back
to
something
over
a
period
of
time.
That
type
of
that
type
of
response
could
come
from
the
board.
Thank.
Q
B
If
not
hundreds
of
thousands
of
single-source
platt
are
single-use
plastic
bottles
that
are
brought
in
to
our
parks.
For
events,
the
it's
easy,
it's
easier
for
us
to
just
say:
don't
bring
those
anymore
than
it
is
to
educate
the
700,000
people
between
Minneapolis
and
st.
Paul.
That
will
be
coming
to
our
event
and
saying
please
don't
please
don't
do
that
and
we
probably
won't
get
a
hundred
percent
compliance
with
with
a
band
right
away,
but
we
actually
took
a
very
similar
effort
with
with
our
tobacco
bans.
Through
the
park
board
was
we
we
ended
it?
B
We
know
people
don't
always
comply,
but
then
it
gives
us
a
tool
to
continue
that
it
gives
us
a
tool
to
continue
to
educate
and
things
that
are
worth
doing
are,
are
difficult
and-
and
that's
the
and
I
think
that
that's
why
we're
here,
so
it's
I,
think
the
timeline
just
III
think
that
that's
actually
a
very
reasonable
timeline
to
have
our
sights
set
on
April,
20th
or
April
1st
of
2020,
and
we
can
move
from
there
to
Commissioner
Farnese
point
about
prioritizing
and
with
the
planning
staff.
I
would
just.
B
That
is
a
real
issue
in
my
appointment
of
Commissioner
for
Nia's,
chair
of
the
Planning
Committee,
that
is
within
your
purview,
to
help
staff
prioritize
some
of
the
things
that
I
can
and
can't
come
forward,
we're
looking
as
a
collective
at
our
hole
at
our
hole
goals,
but
I
do
that
every
day.
I
do
that
every
single
week
with
approving
the
agenda
and
I
know
committee
chairs
already
do
do
that.
That
said,
I'm
very
supportive
of
this
I
would
be
looking
at
a
future
meeting,
maybe
at
the
full
board.
B
B
It
was
my
initial
understanding
that
we
had
one
vendor
contract
for
vending
machines
in
the
park
system.
Now
that's
been
broken
up
over
the
years
and
to
many
so
I
may
be
considering
branded
like
adding
that
on
to
the
full
board,
when
I
do
have
a
when
I
do
have
a
focus.
I
think
that
that's
some
low-hanging
fruit
that
we
could
go
after
as
well,
because
we're
we're
inviting
a
lot
of
those
single-use
plastics
and
thank
you.
Thank
You,
Commissioner,
Jim,
Research,
Commissioner.
N
N
As
far
as
you
know,
concern
about
a
consistency
about
how
we
prioritize
our
work,
you
know
I,
don't
think
in
400
years
of
American
government
anything's
ever
been
consistent,
but
what
we
can
do
is
the
thing
that's
right
in
the
moment
and
I
feel
very
confident,
after
consulting
with
staff
that
you
know,
the
April
1st
deadline
that
is
provided
in
this
resolution
was
something
that
was
recommended
by
staff.
It
feels
to
me
that
I'm
going
to
trust
staff
to
come
forward
with
a
recommendation
that
is
feasible
on
their
end
and
I.
N
Just
so
appreciate
the
vision
and
and
thought
about
doing
something.
That's
that's
difficult
to
come,
and
the
last
thing
I'd
say
is
that
in
some
ways
we're
behind
we're
behind
a
lot
of
other
cities
across
the
country
in
terms
of
what
kinds
of
uses
are
happening
in
our
system
and
what,
where
we
are
in
terms
of
what
we
provide
in
terms
of
plastics
and
sustainability,
integration
for
our
trash
pickup,
just
as
a
city
in
itself,
not
the
park
board,
necessarily
and
individually,
but
throughout
the
city
and
I.
A
Thanks
everyone,
so
some
of
my
questions
have
been
answered.
I'd
like
to
first
start
with
addressing
Commissioner
Meyers
concerns
about
not
having
a
way
to
bring
forward.
Commissioner
led
initiatives
in
the
past.
The
way
that
the
board
has
managed,
that
is
by
having
commissioners,
bring
forward
ideas
to
committee
chairs
and
for
those
committee
chairs
to
work
with
staff
on
including
those
items
as
study
report
items.
A
That
would
either
then
die
in
that
capacity
or
generate
some
sort
of
action
moving
forward
out
of
committee,
so
that
that's
typically
how
it's
been
done
in
the
past
in
a
way
that
allows
for
more
robust
conversation
at
a
committee
level,
as
well
as
providing
commissioners
with
the
data
and
information
that
they
need
to
be
able
to
make
informed
decisions
about
how
we
proceed
with
business
in
a
transparent
manner
for
the
public.
It's
part
of
why
I
was
concerned
with
this
going
forward
just
on
the
full
board
level.
A
In
that
we
didn't
have
the
data
we
needed
to
be
informed
decision
makers.
We
didn't
have
an
opportunity
to
have
a
robust
discussion
at
a
committee
level.
We
didn't
really
understand
what
what
the
full
scope
of
the
impact
of
the
motion
would
be
before
us.
So
that's
why
I
asked
that
we
have
this
before
committee.
I
would
have
loved
to
put
a
study
report
item
on
this
topic
on
our
agenda.
A
To
the
best
of
my
knowledge,
we
start
permitting
things
a
year
out,
so
ostensibly
we
would
be
looking
at
April
May
June
July
events
that
have
already
been
permitted
for
2020,
in
which
we
haven't
put
this
restriction
on
people
and
I
would
assume
we
have
some
sort
of
agreements
with
these
people.
How?
How
would
we
amend
those?
How
would
this
impact
them
do
we
allow
people
to
back
out
if
they
decide
that
what
we're
proposing
is
too
burdensome
for
them?
A
A
A
D
So,
first
of
all,
just
just
to
make
sure
we
understand,
of
which
events
we're
talking
about
we're
talking
about
the
events,
the
large-scale
events
that
we
do
so
those
that
community
outreach
does
everything
from
red,
white
and
boom
to
the
kite
festival,
those
types
of
events,
the
large-scale
ones
that
we
do
primarily
in
the
regional
system.
So
that's
that
part.
It
would
be
another
conversation
to
talk
about
all
of
the
neighborhood
Park
events,
not
that
we
shouldn't
go.
D
So
they
already
feel
like
we're
very,
very
close
to
being
able
to
sustain
this
type
of
goal.
I
also
want
to
make
sure
I'm
clear
that
this
is
about
single-use
plastics,
not
waste
in
general.
If
the
board
wanted
us
to
do
additional
research
on
how
to
remove
all
waste
related
to
to
events
or
how
to
ban
all
waste
and
events,
that
would
be
a
modification
to
this
particular
resolution.
D
This
is
really
looking
at
single-use
plastics
at
this
time
and
then,
of
course,
the
the
piece
ears
that
we
bring
forward
a
list
of
actions
and
recommendations
which
would
include
costs
associated
with
them,
so
that
would
come
forward
with
it
for
single-use
plastics
as
well
as
in
many
cases
they're
already
using
compostable
type
of
products
that
are
so
there's
there's
already
a
pretty
high
threshold
of
compliance.
But
this
would
help
get
us
over
that
hump.
Okay,.
A
D
A
Q
It's
a
little
odd
to
be
talking
about
winter
in
July,
but
the
realities
we
are
actually
starting
to
shift
gears
and
planning
for
our
winter
operations
and
improvements.
We've
kind
of
hit
our
summer
groove,
where
we've
got
things
kind
of
normalized
and
out
there
and
we're
operating,
and
so
now
we
start
to
shift
our
focus
to.
How
can
we
make
the
winter
go
more
smooth
than
the
last
winter,
so
I'm
going
to
turn
this
over
to
Peter
Hama,
but
this
is
a
follow
up
last
November,
before
the
before
the
winter
season.
Q
We
did
a
brief
report
on
our
snow
sand,
snow
removal,
sand
and
salt
ice,
rinks
and
sledding
hills,
and
in
that
at
that
time
we
talked
that
we
promised
that
we
would
come
back
with
an
analysis
of
the
sand
and
salt
and
our
snow
removal.
So
Peter
is
an
analyst
with
us
in
her
asset
management
department,
he's
been
working
with
Buicks
and
plow
operators
to
compile
a
summary
for
us
here.
R
Welcome
Thank
You,
chair
music
and
commissioners
I'm
Peter
hammer.
This
is
my
first
time
presenting
to
you
all.
So.
Thank
you
for
having
me,
as
Jeremy,
said,
that
last
November
Lisa
back
presented
to
you.
A
a
preview
of
one
of
winter
operations
are
gonna
be,
and
we
promised
you
some
information.
So
here
it
is
it's
Christmas
in
July,
I
guess
so.
R
We're
going
to
be
doing
is
a
little
bit
of
review
of
what
we
showed
you
last
November
and
then
we'll
get
to
some
new
stuff.
So
this
is
an
update
on
our
snow
removal
for
the
salt
sand
and
some
of
our
operations
tracking
that
we
went
through
as
part
of
the
review
they're
19
dedicated
equipment
operators.
R
In
addition,
we've
got
part
keepers
who,
and
they
work
together
to
clear
snow
and
provide
safe
paths
and
walkways
for
the
public
parking
lots
trail,
sidewalks,
cetera.
We've
got
a
variety
of
large
and
small
equipment.
You
see
some
photos
of
some
of
them
here
with
the
labels
Oh
as
well.
We
have
a
bunch
of
small
equipment,
different
Komodos,
those
Toros
you
can
see-
are
used
the
same
ones
in
the
summer
to
cut
the
grass
are
being
used
in
the
winter
to
blow
snow.
R
We
have
a
trail
system
in
our
regional
parks.
We've
got
neighborhood
pathways
that
have
had
a
pavement
assessment.
We've
got
a
95
miles
of
trails
and
approximately
a
hundred
and
four
miles
of
neighborhood,
sidewalks
and
interior
paths,
and
we
have
an
apart
in
that
system.
That's
approximately
110
acres
of
that
we
plow
about
a
hundred
and
forty
miles
of
space.
R
That
includes
the
regional
trails
that
it
equates
out
to
be
about
70
percent
of
all
of
our
hard
pavement.
From
the
best
of
our
estimates,
we've
got
a
comprehensive
understanding
of
our
neighborhood
system,
but
we
are
making
more
guesses
when
it
comes
to
our
regional
system,
because
we
have
not
had
that
comprehensive
analysis.
R
So
some
of
the
reasons
why
we
are
plowing
what
we
do
plow
right
now
is
because
it's
through
history,
we
know
that
we've
produced
following
the
volume
abusers.
We
want
to
provide
winter
recreation
activities
access
to
our
amenities.
We
do
it
for
safety
of
staff
and
budget
reasons,
a
little
bit
more
detail
as
to
how
an
example
of
a
park
looks
in
terms
of
what
we
do
plow
and
what
we
don't
Wow.
This
is
from
our
GIS
layer
that
shows
linden
hills,
Park
I
just
thought
it
was
a
good
example.
R
You
can
see
the
blue,
the
blue
line
around
the
perimeter
and
the
blue
curved
line
in
the
bottom
left
that
goes
through
the
part.
That
is
our
plow
route,
that
we
have
been
operating
against
this
last
winter,
the
blue
area,
to
the
right
with
the
diagonal
lines.
That's
our
parking
lot,
but-
and
you
can
see
there
in
the
dark
gray,
that
kind
of
weaves
through
this
bottom
third
of
the
park.
R
That's
all
the
hard
paths
through
the
park,
so
that
shows
you
that
we're
trying
to
provide
access,
but
it
could
show
you
some
of
the
complications
in
terms
of
what
it
might
be
like
in
one
Park
in
one
example
to
that,
and
why
we've
chosen
to
do
what
we've
done
to
this
point
so
far.
Some
removal
protocol
that
we
went
through
this
last
winter
is
that
anytime,
that
we
would
have
two
inches
or
more
of
snow.
We
would
generate
work
orders
which
I
will
show
you
a
little
bit
later
on.
R
And
tracking,
which
we'll
get
into
so
for
extreme
winter
events,
which
apparently
was
the
entire
month
of
February
we
had,
we
would
need
to
do
our
operations
a
little
differently,
so
he'd
have
a
first
pass,
which
would
just
be
opening
up.
The
pathway
second
pass
would
be
widening
and
clearing
the
openings
of
the
third
pass
would
be
working
on
the
crosswalks
and
the
curb
cuts
and
removing
all
the
snow
that
the
city
had
then
pushed
on
to
our
places
that
we
had
already
cleared
and
then
a
fourth
pass
of
final.
R
R
R
It's
a
lot
on
the
screen,
but
I'm
just
going
direct
you
to
that
bottom
layer.
Bottom
line
works
this
total
or
it
says
53,
salts
and
yards.
That's
how
we
pick
it
up
from
the
city,
that's
how
it
gets
measured
in
the
trucks
and
then
it's
five
percent.
Salt
is
five
point
three
yards
47
yards
of
sands.
You
can
see
the
pound
conversion
there
to
the
right.
R
So
that's
you
know
a
bunch
of
numbers,
but
what
does
that
mean?
I've
been
talking
to
a
couple
of
the
different
counties.
The
city
have
been
trying
to
get
information
from
other
Park
systems
in
the
area,
and
I
will
tell
you
that
when
I
asked
them
how
many
pounds
the
use
of
salt
they
tell
me,
oh
I
used
this
many
tons,
so
we
are
talking
fourteen
thousand
pounds
and
they
would
be
talking
in
thousands
of
tongues
that
we
use
a
ninety
five
percent
sand.
R
Many
places
use
that
the
city
uses
the
same
salt
sand
combo,
but
the
counties
and
the
state
used
largely
assault
only
compound,
so
they
would
be
dropping
tons
of
salt,
not
tons
of
sand
and
there's
many
different
reasons
for
that
wanted.
Somebody
told
me
just
today
that
if
the
city
were
to
drop
so
much
sand,
they
would
have
to
go
pick
it
all
up
or
be
getting
or
it
would
get
into
the
sewers
that
causes
its
own
set
of
problems.
R
So
it's
a
very
complicated
subject,
but
we
did
the
same
conversions
down
the
bottom
by
I.
Did
both
for
you,
so
you
could
look
at
for
the
up
square
foot
of
pavement
and
that's
of
salt
and
salts
and
combo
salt
and
then
sand
or
per
square
foot
over
the
entire
season
and
then
per
7
foot
lane
mile.
The
lane
mile
is
a
very
common
metric
with
MnDOT,
and
but
we
have
it's
a
12-foot
lane
mile
that
they
talked
about
and
we
have
seven
feet
because
most
of
ours
are
paths.
R
The
second
part
that
I
wanted
to
show.
You
is
the
our
snowplow
route
pilot.
So
what
we
are
using
a
few
works
this
year
and
we
had
15
routes
that
are
broken
up
into
287
segments,
and
this
gets
to.
How
fast
are
we
getting
to
our
paths
and
our
parking
lots
in
the
season?
So
we
have.
We
would
when
there'd
be
more
than
2
inches
of
snow.
We
would
generate
all
the
work
orders.
They
get
split
into
15
different
categories
and
everybody
would
wake
up
on
their
look
at
their
phone
say.
R
R
So
our
early
winter,
we
had
five
snow
events
that
triggered
that
two
inch
plus
response.
We
had
15
inches
of
total
snow
just
in
those
in
those
events,
if
that's
the
amount
of
overtime
we
paid,
you
can
see
that
our
totals
in
the
first
eight
hours
were
much
lower
than
the
end
than
the
yearly
average
52
percent.
Thirty
forty
one.
But
this
is
the
first
time
that
I'm
here,
via
trekked
snow
removal
in
this
way-
and
we
are
going
through
the
change
curve,
we're
having
to
teach
people
how
to
use
the
system.
R
What
does
it
mean
we're
having
if
somebody
wasn't
was
sick
or
wasn't
in,
or
we
didn't
have
enough
staff
for
that
day
or
we
had
a
broken
piece
of
equipment?
We'd
have
to
reassign
the
work
orders
to
other
people.
It
was
complicated.
There
was
a
curve,
so
second
half
of
the
season.
We
actually
view
as
a
better
analysis
of
how
our
operations
actually
work.
R
With
the
caveat
that
this
was
one
of
the
snowiest
winters
and
February's
and
minneapolis
histories,
so
we
actually
think
that
without
so
much
snow
piled
up
that
we
might
actually,
you
know,
be
able
to
improve
on
that
number.
So
that's
an
exciting
thing,
but
you
can
see
that
we
made
a
big
jump
between,
especially
in
the
first
eight
hours.
We
made
a
50%
improvement
on
our
average
parking
lots
that
we
were
able
to
get
to
in
the
first
eight
hours,
so
we're
feeling
pretty
proud
of
that.
R
R
We
did
learn
that
the
late,
the
late
winter
and
early
spring
snows
required
much
much
less
salt
and
sand
than
in
the
early
winter,
even
though
there
was
more
snow
because
the
the
Sun
is
so
much
stronger
that
it's
it's
not
needed
or
practical
to
put
it
down
that
the
Sun
will
melt
it
before
it's
going
to
become
a
danger
to
the
public.
We
also
had
a
couple
two
of
our
Meo
staff.
Members
were
out
on
workers
comp
in
the
early
winter
and
three
in
the
late
winter.
R
F
R
F
R
R
F
I'd
like
to
request,
if
it's
possible,
to
make
these
maps
available
online
somewhere
and
to
bring
them
to
the
pedestrian
Advisory
Committee
for
them
to
review.
I
talked
to
a
few
members
of
that
committee
who
had
interest
in
doing
that.
If
we
can
bring
that
to
them-
and
you
know
I
recognize
that
we
can't
plow
all
of
our
surfaces.
But
there
are
some
that
people
feel
our
high
use
that
shouldn't
be
plowed.
That
aren't,
but
I
really
appreciate
all
the
work
that
you've
done
into
documenting
this
and
and
all
the
improvements
that
you've
seen
it.
K
Q
K
I
know
it's
very
costly
and
I,
don't
know
if
anybody
I'm
sure
that
somebody's
done
an
analysis
of
the
initial
cost
versus
the
long-term
and
then
the
long-term.
You
know,
of
course,
environmentally
impact,
but
but
it's
always
intrigued
me
and
I,
don't
know
if
it's
the
only
thing
we
ever
can
do
as
a
quote/unquote
demonstration
or
something
but
something
Diddley's
keep
in
the
back
of
your
mind.
Otherwise,
thank
you
for
that
report.
Thank.
A
It's
juristic,
German,
that's
sweet!
Thank
you,
I'm
also
wondering
so.
We
had
briefly
talked
about
the
heating
of
trails.
When
we
initially
talked
about
this,
we
didn't
specify
the
methodology
of
that,
but
we
were
told
at
that
time.
It
was
very
expensive,
I
know
as
part
of
our
exploration
of
HVAC
systems
and
heating
and
cooling
being
done
by
the
Planning
Division
that
they
would
be
coming
forward
to
us
with
recommendations
of
where
we
should
be
making
investments.
A
I
don't
know
if
geothermal
is
one
of
the
things
that
they're
contemplating,
but
I
would
think
that
if
we
were
going
to
invest
in
a
geothermal
system
for
heating
and
cooling,
a
building
that
it
may
behoove
us
at
that
time
to
also
explore
melting,
snow
and
ice
off
of
the
surrounding
sidewalks
in
that
area
as
well.
So
not
something
so
much
for
you,
but
something
to
just
put
in
the
back
of
your
minds,
planning
staff
that
are
here
tonight
in
the
audience.
A
R
A
A
R
I
I
do
talking
talking
to
some
of
the
colleagues
at
the
city
that
they
are,
but
they,
the
city
also
has
had
its
leaders
and
Public
Works
going
through
the
same
training
that
we
have
and
have
been
taking
some
of
the
same
considerations.
They
they're
they're,
very
aware
of
what
they
put
down
and
when
and
its
impacts,
so
I.
Imagine
that
they're
using
industry
best
practices,
okay,.
A
If
we
could
ask
them
if
it's
possible
to
further
reduce
that,
because,
unfortunately
salt,
once
it's
in
our
water
bodies,
never
goes
away
and
at
some
point
we
are
going
to
start
killing
our
lakes
out
of
a
desire
to
keep
people
safe
and
that's
going
to
be
very
problematic
for
us.
So
if
we
could
talk
to
them
about
that
and
the
potential
to
reduce
it,
that
would
be
great
I
know,
there's
also
a
brine
mixture
that
has
much
less
salt
in
it
than
traditional
applications.
A
I,
don't
know
if
it's
much
less
salt
than
the
mixture
of
sand
and
salt
that
we're
utilizing
currently,
but
if
it
is,
could
we
discuss
further
with
the
city
when
they
might
intend
to
convert
to
a
system
like
that
and,
if
we'd
be
able
to
utilize
their
procurement
services,
to
allow
us
to
make
that
conversion
as
well?
Seeing
no
further
questions
still
I
would
now
at
this
time.
Thank
you
so
much
for
being
here
this
evening
and
entertain
a
motion.
F
S
K
Take
a
motion
to
approve
the
agenda
so
moved
all
those
in
favor,
please

You
I'll
take
a

so
hold
those
in

F
B
L
I
U
All
right
good
evening
sheriff
or
nee
commissioners
we're
gonna,
give
a
brief
presentation
on
the
parks
for
all
the
Minneapolis
Park
Board
2021
comprehensive
plan.
So
we're
here
tonight
or
we're
here
tonight
to
bring
a
resolution
before
you
approving
the
check
at
charge
and
slate
and
but
we'll
back
up
and
just
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
project
which
we've
briefed
I.
U
U
Plan
is
it's
our
policy
direction,
our
touchstone.
It's
based
on
our
shared
values,
with
staff
and
community
elected
officials.
It
provides
guidance
to
us
and
setting
the
budget
policy
development
programming
physical
parks
over
the
next
decade.
It's
a
great
tool
for
communicating
what
we
do
both
to
ourselves,
our
staff
and
to
our
community,
and
it's
really
about
building
about
building
on
what
works.
In
addition
to
identifying
gaps
and
opportunities
for
improvement
across.
U
What
it
is
not,
it
will
not
start
from
scratch,
we'll
build
on
service
area,
master
plans,
strategic
directions,
activity
plans,
other
studies
and
reports
and
policies.
It
will
not
take
the
place
of
the
parks
and
open
space
chapter
with
the
city
of
Minneapolis
comprehensive
plan
does
not
focus
recommendations
on
the
individual
parks,
but
focuses
on
the
system
as
a
whole
and
Parks
Burrell
is
not
required
by
MIT
Council,
so
this
wheel
shows
some
of
the
in
our
initial
scoping
stage.
U
These
are
some
of
the
groups
that
are
involved
in
the
conference
of
planning
process.
So,
as
I
mentioned,
we
are
required
to
have
the
Community
Advisory
Committee
help
guide
the
process.
The
public
we've
got
community
collaborators,
who
are
it's
basically
small
grants
open
to
community
groups
to
convene
their
own
conversations
about
parks,
are
awesome,
Youth
design
staff,
consultants,
topical
work
groups
and,
of
course,
security.
Leadership.
U
We're
getting
the
word
out
in
all
sorts
of
different
ways
about
about
the
plan
and
collecting
input
and
lots
of
different
ways
as
well.
Just
want
to
put
it
out
there
that
the
community
collaborator
RFP.
We
have
another
round
of
applications.
We've
extended
that
to
September
7th,
we'll
begin
our
CAC
meetings
in
September.
We
hope
I've
got
lots
of
different
ways
online
and
rec
centers
in
person
for
people
to
get
input.
U
This
is
an
example
of
some
of
the
input
we've
been
receiving,
so
most
of
our
input
is
gathered
through
these
suggestion,
cards
called
Green
Park
cards
and
events
or
rec
centers
even
online.
Some
some
really
great
ideas
emerging
from
community
everything
from
more
dog
friendly
areas
to
submerging
the
inner
states
to
create
Park
landscapes,
and
we
also
been
talking
in
community
and
to
staff
about.
We
know
when
we
get
comments
from
from
folk.
How
does
it
and
plan,
and
so
we're
happy
to
talk
more
about
the
art
data,
analysis
process
and
health?
U
U
V
Thank
You
Kerry
I'll
talk
about
the
cattle
and
how
they're
selected
and
also
the
next
steps.
This
is
the
CAC
charge.
This
is
the
holding
tank
place
in
in
the
comprehensive
plan,
become
knowledge
about
that.
Every
every
every
every
conference
and
final
process
understand
our
question:
is
it
of
the
community
and
visitors
actively
Lanier's
answer
for
the
project?
How
find
it
them
identify?
Our
user
groups
and
other
groups
should
be
consulted
in
the
engagement
process,
find
feedback
on
the
draft
plan.
V
V
G
V
V
This
process
of
we
look
at
race.
We
look
at
language,
diversity,
people
with
disabilities
and
all
the
highlighted
areas
here
you
see
is
folks
that
we
selected
on
that
process.
We
were
fortunate
enough
to
get
as
many
folks
on
that
process.
The
areas
that
are
not
highlighted,
our
areas
that
are
not
able
to
get
them
so
for
the
commissioners
that
are
not
appointed
yet
take.
V
So
far,
we've
done
four
four
workshops.
I
think
it's
about
100
events
by
now,
because
we
go
at
least
four
or
five
minutes
some
times
a
day,
and
we
had
our
four
back
meetings.
The
next
steps
for
the
project
after
the
over
the
proof
of
this
process,
we'll
have
our
first
comedian
in
early
September
some
time
many
questions.
B
You
thank
you
cheer
morning.
I
did
have
some
questions
if
we
can
go
back
to
the
slide,
with
the
different
representation
of
folks
that
I've
already
so
fine
that
you
were
that
you
were
just
they're.
The
ones
that
are
highlighted
in
yellow
are
representative
represented
in
the
known
appointees
right
now,
or
is
it
the
other
way
around.
U
B
Date:
okay,
one
of
the
things
that
we
brought
up
or
just
mentioned
is
kind
of
a
conversational
topic
as
we're
leading
towards
this,
and
some
of
my
conversations
with
potential
appointees
for
the
chair
and
some
concerns
that
they
had
brought
up
is
one
just
how
critically
important
this
community
engagement
committee
is
probably
they're
all
important,
but
in
many
ways
that's
one
more
more
important
than
than
all
the
rest,
but
there
was
it.
We
brought
up
a
point
in.
B
Perhaps
we
should
look
at
a
stipend
and
making
childcare
available
for
these
and
I
know
that
in
some
conversations
with
staff
it
sounds
like
childcare
will
be
made
available
at
at
these,
but
we're
asking
for
an
incredible
we're
asking
for
an
and
will
commitment
here
and
I'm
wondering
if
this
is
something
that
we
can
pile
it
with
a
stipend
available,
and
that
said,
that's
it
well
can.
Can
you
confirm
this
have
something
that
hasn't
been
discussed
yet
at
a
staff
level,
a
statement
if
I
understand
it
is
not
currently
being
offered.
L
U
B
My
my
requests-
I,
don't
know
if
we
would
need
a
board
action
at
another
meeting
in
Amman
on
this
committee
is
actually
providing
staff
direction
to
do
that.
I.
Just
think
that
this
is
that
important
of
a
committee
that
a
committee
in
that
said,
should
we
approve.
Should
we
approve
a
stipend
that
may
the
staff
recommended
slate
may
end
up
changing
at
that
point
too.
B
There
may
be
folks
that
that
would
serve
if
there
was
a
statement
available
and
just
being
able
to
look
at
that,
and
in
particularly
looking
at
what
one
of
the
ones
that's
glaringly,
obviously
a
glaringly
obvious
that
we
don't
have
our
presentation
on
so
far
as
somebody
from
our
homeless
community
and
that
could
and
and
yeah
and
our
East
African
and
Latina
community
those
and
in
particular
our
homeless
community.
That
could
be
a
life-changing
stipend
to
be
able
to
participate
in
something
that
impacts
them.
B
L
K
K
K
The
first
meeting
is
scheduled,
I
believe
her
September,
so
this
is
giving
very,
very
short
notice
to
community
members.
You
know
who
we
would
like
to
have
on
this
committee
and
anyway
I
just
it's
upsetting
that
you
know
we
haven't
done
it
and
it
concerns
me
that,
if
going
forward,
this
is
how
long
it
takes
for
all
19
commissioners
to
make
their
appointments.
K
K
J
L
J
I
would
ask
for
a
motion
to
approve
the
agenda
so
moved
all
those
in
favor
of
approval
of
the
agenda.
Please
signify
by
saying
aye
aye
any
opposed
abstentions.
The
motion
passes
I
would
ask
for
motion
of
approval
of
the
minutes
from
Wednesday
July
10
2019,
all
those
in
favor
of
approval
of
the
minutes.
Please
signify
by
saying
aye.
N
P
Because
I'd
like
to
do
is
just
go
through
the
a
minute,
as
we
stated
lease
and
I'll
give
you
a
little
bit
of
rationale
why
this
is
happening.
We
did
ask
after
this
move
past
committee
I
think
two
meetings
ago.
They
returned
to
committee
so
that
we
could
understand
a
little
bit
better.
Some
of
the
parameters
that
were
defined
in
the
lease.
This
is
a
lease.
It
was
first
crafted
in
2001
with
an
agreement
that
tennis
and
education
incorporated.
P
What
staff
did
in
the
meantime
was
to
meet
with
tennis
and
education,
incorporating
they
have
representatives
here
tonight,
SSI
their
executive
director
is
here
if
we
have
questions
for
for
the
organization,
but
we
wanted
to
accomplish
a
couple.
Things
make
certain
that
the
offsets
were
things
that
the
park
board
desired
to
have
happen,
and
then
we
were
receiving
reasonable
compensation
that
could
be
understood
and
then,
when
those
offsets
were
to
happen,
that
they
would
report
back
to
the
board
on
a
yearly
basis.
P
In
section
6.4,
we
noted
that
the
the
services
that
they
have
been
providing
were
and
and
in
the
last
three
years
when
they've
actually
been
accounting
for
these
services,
were
being
provided
through
programs
with
minneapolis
public
schools.
We
noted
to
the
provider
that
we
don't
speak
for
the
schools
and
we
were
intending
for
the
services
while
they
do
support
minneapolis
youth,
that
they
would
be
guided
by
direction
from
our
staff.
P
Finally,
we
had
a
six
section,
six
point:
five,
which
was
a
section
four
thresholds
for
performance
and
we
added
an
attachment
B
which
would
be
updated
every
year
so
that
we
could
understand
the
services
that
they're
providing
we've
actually
filled
it
in
for
2019,
using
the
information
they
provided
us
for
services
that
have
been
delivered
over
the
last
three
years,
and
we
actually
did
to
be
to
be
fair
about
what
they
are
doing.
We
do
believe
they're
providing
significant
services.
P
We
just
haven't
been
aware
of
that,
so
in
a
way
kind
of
shame
on
us
for
not
tracking
that
we
will
be
tracking
it
going
forward
and
the
primary
one
of
the
primary
methods
for
tracking
is
noted
in
section
6.6,
where
we
ask
for
an
annual
presentation
where
they
can
be
reviewing
that
and
we
can
be
discussing
any
changes
or
upgrades
to
the
performance
thresholds
for
the
upcoming
year.
Thank.
P
B
Thank
You
chair,
beat
I'll,
be
really
brief
and
I
just
want
to
thank
thank
you
guys
for
coming
out
a
second
night
and
thank
you
for
the
work
that
you
do
do
with
us.
I
do
have
and
I
wanted
to
thank
assistant,
superintendent,
Schroeder
and
Bangor
ax
and
the
superintendent
Bangor
ax
and
Tyrese
and
Mary
Merrill
in
over
the
last
several
months.
B
Folks
have
been
noticing
that
we
have
all
these
wonderful
partnerships
where
we
receive
recreational
services
and
in
trade
and
offset
and
rents,
but
we
might
not
always
know
what
they
are
and
we
might
not
always
be
doing
the
best
job
of
collecting
on
collecting
on
those
and
then
our
youth
are
being
underserved
and
then
we're
subsidizing.
We're
also
subsidizing
leases
with
some
of
these
partners,
so
assistant,
superintendent,
it
and
maybe
deputy
superintendent.
P
But
we
do
have
quite
a
bit
of
tracking
we
need
to
do,
and
the
deputy
and
her
assistant
have
made
this
a
priority.
I
think
to
try
and
get
these
in
order
and
tracked,
and
it
is
something
that
we
recognizes
is
necessary
and
it
will.
We
believe
it
will
actually
return
the
value
that
these
kinds
of
agreements
were
supposed
to
have
in
the
first
place.
Thank.
D
President
born
chair
mita,
the
only
thing
that
I
would
add
is
that
yes,
creating
a
database
laying
it
all
out
new
spreadsheet
or
collecting
all
these
contracts
into
one
place,
at
least
all
and
then
we
can
find
so.
Some
of
this
is
a
little
bit
of
a
search
game
too,
but
what
I
think
is
really
maybe
an
evolution
and
how
we
have
thought
about
these
contracts.
Is
things
like
adding
the
performance
metrics
into
them?
D
That's
something
that
we
first
saw
come
through
and
a
lot
of
the
little
bit
related
contracts,
as
well
as
within
the
contract.
Identifying
the
role
of
an
agreement
representative,
so
I
think
we
have
become
more
sophisticated
on
how
we,
and
so
as
we
renew
each
of
them,
we'll
need
to
learn
from
those
best
practices
and
incorporate
that
into
new
documents.
At
this
time
would.
B
It
be
thank
you
to
hear
me
tell,
but
would
it
be
overly
onerous
to
request
and
we
don't
need
to
start
doing
it
next
month,
but
I
think
it
would
be
a
really
good
informational
item
for
us
and
for
the
community
to
know
some
of
these
fantastic
partnerships.
It
would
also
kind
of
create
incentive
for
us
to
like.
Oh,
we
need
to
remember
that
these
are
in
here,
because
there's
a
quarterly
board
report
in
this
month.
That's
on
this
partner,
this
partner
in
this
partner
and
what
those
services
in
lieu
of
rent
might
be
I'm.
B
Sorry
I
would
just
I,
don't
need
a
response
right
now,
but
maybe
if
staff
want
to
think
about
what
that
would
look
like
that,
wouldn't
be
an
overly
onerous
process
to
report
back
to
us,
but
I
would
certainly
there's
some
that
I
didn't
know
that
we
had
and
are
fantastic.
It's
really
cool
that
we
have
them
and
I
like
focusing
a
little
bit
more
about
them.
Jefita.
P
G
J
You
president
Baum
Thank
You
assistant
superintendent,
Schroeder
I.
This
came
up
a
couple
months
ago
with
the
deputy
superintendent
and
I,
and
I
knew
that
it
was
gonna,
be
pulled
back
so
that
we
could
figure
out
how
to
maximize
this
relationship
and
again,
I
appreciate
all
the
work
that
everyone
has
done
on
this.
Looking
forward
to
future
committee
votes
on
these
type
of
leases
and
partnerships
that
we
have
so
thanks
again
for
all
the
work,
thanks
to
you
too,
for
being
with
us
for
second
time
and
coming
out.
J

P
Chair
jefita
and
council
rice
when
I
met
just
this
week
with
the
executive
director
of
tennis
and
education,
she's
been
there
for
the
last
three
years
and
they
have
provided
us
with
accounting
of
the
last
three
years.
We
didn't
have
a
record
of
how
we've
been
taking
advantage
of
the
agreement
prior
to
that
and
I,
don't
believe
the
lessor
had
any
records
of
that
either
the
thresholds
of
performance
were
based
on
kind
of
an
and
an
interpolation
abstraction
of
the
performance
that
they've
had
over
the
last
three
years,
which
appears
to
be
reasonable.
P
S
L
S
S
S
S
Examples
where
we've
had
partnerships
that
have
worked,
but
it's
also
like
how
much
now
it's
easy
to
do
a
tonight
at
7:30
with
your
your
agenda.
But
if
you
either
might
be
the
superintendent
as
the
deputy
or
the
head
of
planning
planning
could
just
plan
to
have
meetings
where
maybe
you
have
a
whole
slug
of
people
coming
in
one
night,
say:
here's
what
we
do
and
here's
how
it's
working
or.
S
S

J
B
L
B
We
are
adjourned
like
y'all
reconvene,
the
regular
meeting
of
July
17th
I
consulted
our
board
rules
and
I
gave
some
incorrect
information
at
during
petitions
and
communications
in
motions
to
suspend
the
rules
for
the
purposes
of
adding
an
item
to
the
agenda
requires
a
two-thirds
majority,
not
a
solid
six
votes.
So
that
said,
I'm
looking
at
the
operations
environment
committee,
Commissioner,
Cole
Gill,
as
the
motion
maker
and
the
committee,
seeing
that
the
chair
and
vice-chair
not
here
I'll,
entertain
all
leave
to
you
for
a
motion.
B
B
I
know
my
phone
is
on
the
motion
to
suspend
the
rules
for
the
purposes
of
adding
the
end
to
the
agenda.
That's
our
move.
Is
there
a
second?
Second,
it's
been
moved
and
seconded.
Is
there
any
discussion
on
the
motion
to
suspend
the
rules?
Seeing
none
I
would
ask
the
secretary
to
you
take
the
roll.
This
will
require
one
two,
three
four
five.
This
will
require
three
votes
or
or
excuse
me,
four
votes
for
the
suspension
of
the
rules.
