C
Good
afternoon,
at
this
point
in
our
budget
committee,
that's
come
back
from
a
brief
recess
at
this
point.
We'll
continue
hearing
presentations
from
city
departments
on
the
mayor's
2021
recommended
budget
on
the
schedule.
This
afternoon,
you'll
see
presentations
from
the
park
and
recreation
board,
the
youth
coordinating
board
and
finance
and
property
services.
C
D
D
D
Just
so
to
put
this
in
a
little
bit
of
national
context,
we're
the
oldest
inter-jurisdictional
youth
organization.
In
the
united
states,
we
encompass
a
larger
group
of
jurisdictions
than
most
any
other
juristic
joint
powers
board,
and
we
have
the
largest
youth
congress
of
any
in
the
country,
and
that
is
in
great
measure
thanks
to
the
city
of
minneapolis
and
your
support
of
our
youth
congress.
All
these
last
13
years
of
the
youth
congress,
all
of
the
work
that
we
do
falls
into
the
five
areas
that
you
can
see
there.
D
D
D
They
are
they've,
they
fill
out
an
application,
they
are
interviewed,
they
are
chosen
when
they
are
chosen.
We
pay
them
for
their
time.
When
we
are
not
in
covent
and
we're
meeting
face
to
face,
we
we
feed
them.
We
make
sure
they
have
the
transportation
to
get
to
and
from
meetings
they
meet
at
least
three
times
a
month
as
a
full
group,
and
then
they
meet
at
least
one
more
time
a
month
in
their
committee.
D
The
work
that
they
have
done
has
been
substantial
and
I'll
just
point
to
one
thing,
which
is
the
minneapolis
youth
master
plan,
which
they
worked
very
hard
with
us
on
and
with
many
of
you
in
on
the
city
council,
in
convening
meetings
and
in
wards
to
find
out
what
young
people
think
should
happen
in
minneapolis
for
children
and
young
people.
D
That
report
is
finished,
we're
working
on
the
final
recommendation
piece
right
now
and
a
children's
budget,
but
the
first
two
pieces,
which
are
our
values
and
the
second
piece
which
are
priorities
are
both
available
on
our
website.
If
you
want
to
take
a
look
at
them,
our
minneapolis
outreach
team.
This
refers
to
the
outreach
team
who
works
downtown
only.
We
also
work
at
henry
high
school
and
on
the
north
side
and
at
cedar
riverside.
But
this
is
our
downtown
outreach
numbers
from
2019.
D
They've
received
a
couple
of
accolades
from
the
minneapolis
police
department
and
continue
to
work
even
in
covid
in
the
spring,
the
minneapolis
health
department
did
some
training
with
them
about
how
to
do
some
public
health
outreach
as
well,
and
the
only
the
other
thing
I
want
to
highlight
is
that
the
next
three
minneapolis
community
education,
the
hennepin
county,
teen
tech
squad
and
minneapolis
park
and
recreation
youth
line-
are
programs
which
we
re
grant
funding
to
from
city
money
to
do
after
school
work
that
after
school
work
is
critical,
particularly
with
the
decrease
in
funding
and
after
school
over
the
last
20
years,
and
we're
pleased
to
be
able
to
help
them
with
some
money
to
be
able
to
support
the
work
they
do
with
our
children
and
young
people.
D
D
This
is
our
our
budget
request
to
the
city.
The
joint
powers
agreement
is
decided
through
a
joint
powers
agreement
every
year,
every
five
years,
and
so
this
is
an
amount
that
is
is
contracted.
It
is
the
same
amount
that
we
receive
from
hennepin
county
and
minneapolis
public
schools.
The
parks
pay
a
little
less
because
they're
a
little
smaller.
D
The
361
thousand
dollars
includes
all
of
the
programming
that
I
just
talked
about
on
the
previous
page,
and
you
can
see
there
that
that
is
the
amount
of
money
that
we
have
received
and
there
is
not
a
recommended
change
for
next
year.
D
D
C
Let's
see
I'll
just
give
it
a
minute
director
I
apologize
if
you've
covered
this,
I
was
trying
to
find
the
park
board
superintendent
here,
but
can
can
you
help
me
understand
the
different
ways
that
ycb
has
been
working
to
try
and
address
the
needs
of
young
people
during
the
pandemic
and
given
the
out
of
school
the
distance
learning
models?
Or
can
you
go
a
little
bit
further
into
that?
Please,
because
not
myself,
myself
not
being
assigned
to
youth
coordinating
board
anymore.
D
Yeah,
that's
a
great
question
councilmember!
Thank
you
so
much
for
it.
The
this
is
a
really
tough
time
for
kids.
This
is
not
developmentally
what
they
should
be
doing.
They
shouldn't
be
homes
looking
at
screens
all
day,
they
should
be
with
each
other
and
the
fact
is
they
are.
They
are
going
out
and
being
with
each
other.
D
So
this
summer,
our
after-school
folks,
along
with
the
parks
and
minneapolis
public
schools
and
the
libraries
and
the
ywca
and
the
ymca,
put
together
something
we
call
positive
pop-up
parks
and
they
visited
eight
parks
over
eight
weeks,
so
a
park
a
week
and
did
programming
for
young
people
using
proper
social
distancing,
handing
out,
face,
masks
and
handing
out
disinfectant
and
really
working
with
our
young
people
as
much
as
we
could,
because
we
knew
that
they
needed
something.
D
D
So
we
have
not
found
a
way
to
do
that
overall,
that
works
particularly
well,
but
in
the
summer
time
and
when
we
can
be
outside,
we
can
do
that
a
couple
of
other
things.
Our
outreach
team,
as
I
mentioned,
is
also
now
doing
public
health
outreach,
they're
working
with
young
people,
they're,
giving
them
masks
they're,
giving
them
disinfectant
they're
working
with
them
to
help
them
understand
what
physical
distancing
is
they're,
helping
them
understand
if
they
need
a
test
where
to
get
a
test.
D
Our
youth
congress
has
done
three
video
tapes
for
young
people
about
physical
distancing,
they're
minute
long.
They
are
on
social
media
and
they
can
be
easily
promoted
the
folks
over
at
the
health
department.
School-Based
clinics
worked
with
them
on
those,
so
the
young
people
felt
a
real
need
to
as
young
people
talk
to
other
young
people
with
professional
support
about
what
it
is
to
the
physical
distance
and
why
the
physical
distance,
those
have
been
very
popular.
D
Actually
I've
heard
from
people
over
the
country
who
are
looking
at
those
because
there's
not
many
things
like
that:
young
people
speaking
directly
directly
to
young
people,
so
the
youth
congress
as
well
continues
to
meet
and
we
sometimes
meet
physically
in
groups
of
less
than
10
and
large
rooms
with
masks
and
physical
distancing,
because
they
have
work
to
do.
They've
done
these
videotapes
they're
starting
a
podcast
they're
working
on
a
number
of
different
projects,
and
so
they
from
time
to
time
do
meet,
but
they
are
meeting
on
zoom.
They
are
meeting
regularly.
D
D
What
kind
of
the
gaps
are
for
young
people
and
how
this
particular
time
has
really
highlighted
those
and
has
exacerbated
them
and
we're
looking
we're
reading
what
other
people
are
doing?
We're
looking
for
support
we're
trying
to
figure
out
everything
that
we
can
possibly
do
to
help
support
ourselves
and
our
partners
in
the
community
or
other
youth
work
professionals
and
making
sure
that
young
people's
needs
are
really
addressed
properly.
A
Yes,
I
thank
you
director
and
my
question
is
that
the
minneapolis
youth
outreach
team,
you
say
they're
focusing
on
downtown.
What
is
your
capacity
of
staff?
How
many
staff
do
you
have
there
and
also
what's
stopping
you
to
expand
in
that
work,
other
side
of
of
the
city
thank.
D
You
adam
chairperson
and
council
member
osman,
that's
a
great
question.
We
actually
are
in
several
other
places
in
the
city.
We,
this
work
that
I'm
presenting
today
is
downtown
work
because
it
is
funded
through
the
the
city
budget
process,
but
we
also
have
a
team
in
cedar
riverside,
which
I'm
looking
forward
to
talking
to
you
about
also
funded
by
the
city
of
minneapolis.
D
We
have
a
team
at
henry
high
school
when
henry
high
school
is
in
session,
and
that
is
a
contract
with
the
school
district
at
henry,
and
then
we
do
some
work
on
the
north
side
in
a
contract
with
the
minneapolis
health
department,
through
a
cd
cdc
grant
that
they
received,
and
we
we
have
people
out
on
the
north
side.
We
also
were
asked
recently
if
we
could
go
into
uptown
and
we
were
able
to
do
that.
So
we
sent
a
team
to
uptown
and
we're
looking
at.
D
How
can
we
make
sure
teams
can
be
dispatched
if
they
need
to
be
for
particular
reasons?
We've
we've
covered
things
like
we
always
do
st
patrick's
day,
except
we
didn't
do
it
last
year
because
there
wasn't
one,
but
we've
done
different
parades
and
other
activities
that
in
which
someone
feels
it
will
be
important
to
have
some
adult
youth
work
professionals
to
work
with
the
young
people
around.
D
So
that's
always
been
a
great
thing
for
us.
We
have
about
25
trained
youth
work
professionals
at
any
given
time.
Our
model
is
that
our
youth
work
professionals
need
to
come
from
the
communities
in
which
they
serve,
because
our
young
people
in
those
communities
need
to
see
people
who
look
like
them
and
who
they
recognize.
But
our
youth
professionals
also
bring
a
wealth
to
those
communities
because
it's
where
they
grew
up,
and
they
know
what's
going
on
in
that
community.
D
E
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
had
the
exact
same
question
as
councilmember
osman,
especially
about
focusing
resources
for
use
in
the
communities
of
our
city
that
have
so
many
young
people
that
you
know
that
map
is
pretty
readily
available,
which
also
has
high
overlap
with
the
parts
of
our
city
that
have
high
concentrations
of
poverty
and
where
our
focus
on
race
equity
lies.
So
just
wanting
to
make
sure
those
resources
are
really
available
in
the
in
the
neighborhoods
where
our
young
people
live.
D
Madam
chair
and
council
member
bender,
the
only
the
biggest
limitation
is
funding.
Always
you
know,
and
we've
been
funded,
to
provide
outreach
in
particular
areas
of
the
city,
and
but
we
are
certainly
willing
to
look
at
that.
Our
team
understands
and
believes
that
the
work
that
they
do
is
very
valuable
and
important,
and
we
would
be
very
happy
to
look
as
in
as
many
places
of
the
city
that
meet
the
need
as
are
are
there?
Thank
you,
madam
chair
and
council
members.
D
D
Maybe
even
doing
a
video,
I
would
look
forward
to
showing
it
to
you
at
some
time,
but
I
think
it
would
help
understand
exactly
how
people
understand
exactly
what
it
is
that
that
we're
doing
and
we've
brought
some
of
our
former
outreach
team
in
who
now
have
other
jobs.
And
it's
it's
going
to
be,
I
think,
a
really
nice
piece
that
we'll
be
able
to
use
for
all
of
our
jurisdictions
and
working
with
others
to
work
with
young
people
to
show
them.
What
this
perspective
is
that
we
use.
C
Thank
you.
Do
my
colleagues
have
anything
else.
They
want
to
make
comments
on
or
or
ask
the
director
I'm
not
seeing
any
so
director.
Thank
you
for
the
work
of
the
youth
coordinating
board
and
in
the
ways
that
you're
supplementing
the
needs
of
some
of
our
cities.
Youth,
it's
important,
and
we
thank
you
for
your
efforts
and
for
this
interesting
way
that
we
can
collaborate
with
other
with
the
county
with
the
school
district
with
all
the
others,
and
you
help
to
coordinate
that
very
well.
D
C
C
Direct
superintendent,
bangor
welcome
and
thank
you
for
being
with
us
this
afternoon,
just
as
a
message
to
the
public,
it's
been
there's
been
some
confusion
as
to
how
we
go
about
handling
budgets,
and
I
want
to
just
point
out
for
members
of
the
public
that
the
park
board's
portion
of
our
budget
process
is,
is
ironed
out
fairly
early
and
is
approved
through
our
board
investment
in
taxation.
C
So
this
budget
is
in
the
hands
of
the
park
board.
Now
for
review,
it's
proposed
by
our
superintendent
with
the
funding
set
by
our
mayor's
office,
and
then
we,
if
the
superintendent
and
park
board,
run
this
part
of
the
process
with
any
amendments
that
might
need
to
be
made.
It's
still
a
part
of
our
city
and
a
city
department
with
the
same
cfo.
C
So
it
is
important
for
us
to
to
see
it
and
be
cut
and
to
help
to
coordinate
and
make
it
seem
seamless
for
our
consumers,
of
which
there
are
many,
not
just
the
residents
of
minneapolis.
So
welcome
superintendent,
thanks
for
being
here.
B
Thank
you,
terry
promising.
I
really
appreciate
that.
It
was
a
very
good
explanation.
So
thank
you
so
much
I
do
really
apologize.
I
did
everything
right
on
zoom
and
the
one
time
it
was.
It
should
have
worked
it
just
I,
for
some
reason
did
not
connect,
so
I
really
do
apologize
for
that
and
again,
thank
you
for
having
me
so
so
good
afternoon,
chair
palmisano
vice
chair
fletcher
and
council
city
council
members.
B
B
Next
slide,
please.
I
can't
see
it
so
I
apologize
next
slide
please.
So
I'm
gonna
work
through
the
foundation
for
developing
the
2021
budget.
With
with
with
with
you,
the
2020
has
been,
as
we
all
know,
a
year
like
none
other
with
the
coven
19
pandemic,
the
killing
of
george
floyd,
peaceful
protests,
civil
unrest
and
the
economic
recession,
with
unemployment
levels
worse
than
the
great
depression
and
the
rise
in
the
number
of
our
most
vulnerable
of
our
city
experiencing
homelessness.
B
Many
who
sought
temporary
refuge
in
our
parkland
are
on
our
park.
Land.
B
The
2021
budget
process
has
been
the
most
challenging
in
my
career,
and
I
could
say
for
all
of
us
within
the
department
I
could
say
the
same
for
all
of
for
all
of
us.
It's
been
incredibly
challenging
the
level
of
revenue
losses
due
to
cover
19
constraints,
and
the
economic
conditions
has
really
focused
our
attention
on
the
protection
of
our
park
assets
and
our
greatest
priority,
which
is,
of
course,
our
youth.
B
We
need
to
continue
to
pro
to
protect
those
assets
of
the
mprb,
including,
of
course,
our
physical
infrastructure,
and
also
our
park
amenities
and
also
continue
to
be
to
remain
focused
on
our
most
important
priority.
The
youth
of
our
city,
my
recommended
2021
budget,
protects
the
20-year
neighborhood
park
plan
through
the
full
10.5
million
allocation
and
the
use
of
our
criteria
based
systems
and
the
racial
equity
lens
for
budget
allocations
and
decisions,
and,
as
I'm
sure
you
all
know,
and
what
we've
been
doing,
which
we're
very
proud
of
that.
We
always
always
walk.
B
Follow
our
racial
equity
lens.
Our
racial
equity
work
continues
to
be
demonstrated
in
the
budget
in
multiple
ways,
including
neighborhood
and
regional
park,
capital
improvements
and
the
rehabilitation
funding,
recreation,
center
funding
and
our
annual
department
goals
and
the
2021
budget
adjustments.
B
I
utilized
this
framework
when
developing
my
recommended
budget
and
accordingly
it
protects
the
gains
that
have
been
made
by
investing
in
youth.
It
focuses
on
racial
equity
and
economic
equity.
It
protects
capital
investments
through
the
20-year
neighborhood
park
plan
or
mpp
20.
It
identifies
employee
engagement
to
ensure
that
employees
voices
are
heard,
and
it
recognizes
that
the
program
and
service
levels
with
corresponding
stacking
levels
will
need
to
be
redefined.
B
Next
slide,
the
2020
fourth
quarter
organizational
changes
which
I
want
to
walk
through
with
you
briefly
so
since
returning
to
the
organization
last
year
to
serve
as
the
superintendent,
there
has
been
several
things
that
I've
been
very
passionate
about,
and
I
have
said
repeatedly
when
I
arrived
and
are
really
important
to
me
so
building
on
the
collaborative
work
being
done
to
meet
the
diverse
needs
of
park,
users
infusing
our
recreation
division
with
innovation
and
data
and
insights
that
gives
our
talented
programming
service
delivery
staff,
what
they
need
to
deliver
world-class
cutting-edge,
innovative
programming,
especially
to
our
youth
and
then
also
driving
decisions
with
sound
data
and
insights
that
allows
us
to
meet
and
exceed
industry
standard.
B
So
I'm
really
pleased
to
be
rolling
out
a
modified
organizational
structure
over
the
next
couple
of
months.
These
changes
will
be
incorporated
or
incorporate
ideas
obtained
through
employee
engagement.
That
mirrored
my
vision
as
well
as
board
priorities.
B
B
So
I'm
creating
a
new
community
support
services
department
focused
on
safety
strategies
that
provide
outreach,
support,
intervention
and
de-escalation
to
community
and
staff
and
parks.
This
new
department
combines
and
refocuses
employees
from
various
departments
with
the
skills
and
talents
necessary
to
support
community
staff
and
park
visitors
in
challenging
situation,
situations
and
complex
problems.
B
Department
members
will
work
collaboratively
with
community
members,
community
partner
agencies,
park
users,
stakeholders,
staff
and
park
police
to
help
solve
park
safety
problems,
complementing
the
npr's,
unique
approach
to
community
policing
in
parks
and
briefly,
I'm
gonna
go
off
script
for
a
second.
This
department
is
important
because
they're
gonna
cultivate
and
sustain
key
relationships
and
partnerships
with
with
agencies.
They
will
be
developing
internal
action
plans,
trainings
and
strategies
for
peaceful
resolutions
of
problems,
delivery
of
community
support
services
and
protocols
for
appropriate
alternative
responses
and
safety
concerns.
B
The
work
together
with
which
we'll
talk
about
later
is
our
community
action
team
to
provide
culturally
competent
direct
services
and
responses.
They
will
assist
with
implementation
of
organization-wide
direction
and
plans
for
inclusion,
equity
and
access.
They
would
develop,
know
maintain
and
advance
the
key
relationships
with
each
community
and
they
also
communicate
with
stakeholders
on
park
safety
issues
and
strategies.
B
The
next
thing
is
the
ambassador
program.
The
ambassador
program
is
being
enhanced
with
the
customer
service
department,
utilizing
part-time
staffing
and
volunteers.
This
realigns
really
existing
resources
and
it
builds
upon
previous
previous
successes
of
this
program.
B
Please,
the
2020.
Fourth
quarter.
Organizational
changes
continued
I'll
work
through
some
of
these
there's
the
data,
insight
and
response
team.
So
what
I'm
doing
is
I'm
combining
several
employees
from
various
departments
who
work
most
closely
with
data
into
one
work
group
so
that
their
power
can
be
amplified
across
the
organization?
B
So
this
is
a
new
position
that
we're
creating
this
year
next
slide.
Please,
we
also
are
looking
at
the
recreation
realignment,
so
I'm
realigning
recreation
to
bring
revenue
generating
programs
together
to
amplify
the
revenue
potential
for
those
functions.
I'm
also
combining
youth
development
and
recreation
centers
to
make
sure
that
youth
are
our
youth.
Are
our
primary
focus
and
seamlessly
integrated
into
recreation,
center
programs
and
services?
B
F
You
good
afternoon,
chair
palmisano
and
council
members
if
you'd
like
to
advance
the
slide
please
so
our
the
superintendent's
recommended
2021
budget
advances
the
strategic
directions
and
performance
goals
that
were
set
by
our
board
respectfully
in
2008
and
2019..
F
F
F
We
look
forward
to
working
with
the
city
and
the
minneapolis
public
schools
and
the
youth
coordinating
board
and
really
taking
this
on
on
on
all
fronts
through
our
lobbying
team
at
the
state
through
our
intergovernmental
relationships,
as
well
as
with
the
new
grant
and
donation
administrator
looking
to
support
and
advance
sustainable
funding
for
our
youth
next
slide.
Please.
F
And
then
eliminations
and
reductions
throughout
every
division
of
the
park
board
and
we
focused
primarily
on
eliminations
of
vacancies
and
other
areas
of
our
budget
and
again,
this
budget
supports
the
organizational
structures
through
realigning
existing
resources,
to
continue
to
further
our
goals
and
initiatives
and
to
respond
to
new
pressures
next
slide.
Please,
there
are
several
ways
that
the
2021
recommended
budget
supports
the
protection
of
the
continued
protection
of
the
environment.
F
We
are
furthering
reduction
of
greenhouse
gas
emissions
using
the
priorities
and
recommendations
from
our
completed
carbon
footprint
analysis.
There's
the
implementation
of
formal
criteria
for
evaluating
each
new
equipment
purchase,
there's
going
to
be
an
installation
of
two
community
gardens
focused
in
areas
of
greatest
need.
A
diagnostic
study
performed
on
powderhorn
lake
and
enhancing
the
review
of
forestry
specifications
for
private
development
in
the
city
to
ensure
that
pre-preservation
techniques
are
implemented
next
likely
in
engaged
community
power.
F
We
have
reimagined
our
communication
and
engagement
strategies
during
the
pandemic,
with
with
social
distance
activities
and
virtual
board
meetings.
Virtual
community
engagement
call
in
public
comments
the
commissioners
desire
to
rethink
policing
in
our
parks
and
mitigate
impacts
on
the
most
economically
vulnerable
of
our
community,
so
the
superintendent's
recommended
budget
includes
the
organizational
structure,
changes
and
the
creation
of
the
community
support
services
department
and
the
alignment
of
ada
gender
inclusion
and
racial
equity
work
within
our
human
resources
area.
F
F
The
council,
as
council
members,
you
received
an
email
from
the
superintendent
that
included
a
copy
of
the
superintendent's
recommended
2021
budget.
This
budget
is
also
like
located
on
our
park
board
public
website
at
www.minneapolisparks.org,
backslash
budget,
all
of
the
materials,
the
budget
adjustment
detail,
the
cap
capital
improvement
program.
Detail
is
available
to
the
public
online
at
this
location.
F
Next
slide,
please.
So.
The
first
part
of
the
budget
book
includes
the
superintendent
budget
message
which
the
superintendent
delivered
for
you
this
afternoon.
Next
slide,
please.
The
next
part
next
section
of
the
budget
book
contains
the
budget
highlights.
So
this
would
be
the
area
that
you
would
go
to
to
understand
all
of
the
reductions
and
organizational
structure,
changes
that
have
happened
with
each
within
each
fund
and
department.
F
F
F
The
next
section
of
the
budget
book
outlines
the
strategic
directions
and
performance
goals
next
line.
So
there
are
the
strategic
directions
were
adopted
by
our
board.
Performance
goals
were
also
adopted
by
our
board
and
provide
our
measurable
performance
goals
that
the
superintendent,
executive,
team
and
organization
will
be
measured
throughout
this
period.
Next
slide,
please.
F
F
F
So
the
recommended
budget
is
built
on
the
1.18
property
tax
levy
of
70.3
million.
The
park
board
makes
up
about
17.8
of
the
total
city
of
minneapolis
next
slide
for
local
government
aid.
The
park
board
expects
to
receive
a
slight
decrease
in
2021
and
receive
9.2
million
dollars
in
local
government
aid.
Next
slide.
F
F
That
is
basically
a
zero
percent
property
tax
or
a
zero
percent
change
for
our
general
fund,
because
the
1.2
million
dollar
increase
in
property
taxes
is
offset
by
the
400
000
reduction
in
local
government
aid
and
then
also
the
shift
of
the
commons
was
a
transfer
from
the
city
of
minneapolis
last
year,
and
so
that
has
now
been
replaced
with
820
000
property
tax
levy
to
support
the
operations
of
commons
going
forward.
F
Next
slide,
please,
on
the
expenditure
side,
you'll
see
the
again
the
coped
expenditure
impacts
of
3.3
million.
If
we
had
a
current
service
level
budget,
our
budget
should
have
been
approximately
91
million
dollars.
So
that's
where
we
identify
the
six
million
dollar
swing
in
our
general
fund
budget.
Next
slide,
please.
F
These
are
our
expenditures
by
division.
We
do
have
two
columns
shown
in
the
superintendent's
recommended
budget
again,
the
as
the
superintendent
has
enacted
his
vision
and
supported
the
board's
strategic
directions
and
provided
support
for
new
system
pressures
all
during
the
worst
economic
time
of
our
careers.
F
So
this
is
our
youth
program,
expenditures
by
division.
So
this
helps
us
communicate
our
commitment
to
youth
programs
and
services.
So
in
2018
we
were
investing
12.8
million
dollars
into
youth
programs
and
services
with
rep,
which
represented
it
represented
15.9
percent
of
our
budget
in
2019
and
2020.
F
F
F
Oh,
I'm
sorry
go
back
one
slide.
Okay,
this
this
reflects
our
enterprise
operating
income
by
by
unit
and,
as
some
of
you
may
know,
golf
has
experienced
a
resurgence
like
none
other
in
2020
due
to
the
pandemic,
and
so
we
hope
that
that
resurgence
continues
in
2021.
F
F
F
We
have
our
information
technology
services,
our
self-insurance
fund
and
our
equipment
operations
fund.
We
impacted-
or
we
asked
our
internal
service
funds,
to
look
at
the
current
life
cycles
of
assets
to
see
if
the
sea
of
life
cycles
could
be
extended
in
a
in
a
consistent
way
without
detrimentally
impacting
these
funds
during
coven.
F
There
are
some
reserve
balances
being
spent
in
both
of
these
areas
to
to
do
some
work
for
its
on
our
security
systems
and
then
in
the
equipment
operations
center
pick
up
on
some
catch
up
on
some
equipment
purchases
that
were
delayed
due
to
the
hiring
freezes.
I
mean
the
spending
freezes
and
some
contract
issues
next
slide.
F
But
for
2021
we
are
projecting
a
15.5
million
dollar
neighborhood
park
program
that
includes
the
10
and
a
half
million
of
npp
20,
our
capital
levy
transfer
from
our
general
fund
and
a
1.8
million
dollar
allocation
from
the
park
dedication
fund
on
the
regional
parks
side,
we
have
an
11.9
million
for
a
total
capital
program
of
27.4
million
dollars.
F
F
F
So
our
capital
improvement
program
includes
10.5
million
dollars
through
this
ordinance
through
npp
two
and
a
half
million
that
predates
mpp
20
and
the
eight
million
dollar
increase.
That
became
that's
a
part
of
mpp
20..
There
is
an
adjustment
to
this
amount
every
five
years
and
needs
to
be
agreed
upon
between
the
park
board
and
the
city.
We
have
started
those
conversations
with
the
city
next
slide,
please
that
should
say
npp,
20
rehabilitation
categories,
and
these
categories
include
ada.
Improvements
include
birth
replacements.
F
This
is
where
our
sidewalk
and
pavement
replacements
happen:
our
underground
infrastructure.
This
report
requires
us
to
report
on
the
prior
year
the
current
year
and
then
the
future
year
and
you'll
see
in
2018
all
rehab
categories.
As
of
december
31st
2019
have
been
a
hundred
percent
in
2019,
92
percent
has
been
spent
or
under
contract
and
2020
had
not
begun
at
december.
31St
next
slide,
please.
F
On
the
capital
investment
side,
we
have
community
engagement,
design
and
then
construction.
So
this
flags
behind
rehab
projects
in
2018,
we're
at
67
spent
or
under
contract
for
2019.
We
are
49
spent
or
under
contract
and
for
2026.
F
F
We
experienced
a
couple
different
recessions,
so
definitely
with
2021
we're
experiencing
recession
and
are
experiencing
yet
again
a
workforce
reduction.
But
we
are
proud
that
we
were
able
to
make
adjustments
in
many
other
categories
to
reduce
the
impact
to
the
full-time
workforce.
Next
slide,
please
so
our
process
as
chair
paul
masano,
addressed
that
it
is
the
park
board
that
adopts
the
park
board
levy,
as
well
as
the
park
board
budget.
F
We
have
public
comment
and
then
commissioner
review
and
input
on
november,
4th
and
again
on
november
18th
next
slide,
please
and
then
on
sept
on
december
2nd.
We
will
take
public
comment
yet
again,
and
our
administration
and
finance
committee
needs
to
approve
the
2021
budget
to
send
it
forward
to
our
full
board,
who
will
adopt
the
budget
on
december
9th
and
that's
the
end
of
the.
C
Presentation,
thank
you
thinking
that
maybe
my
colleagues
will
have
some
questions
and
curiosities
about
this
budget.
I
I
had
one-
and
it
was
pretty
far
back-
I'm
curious
about
your
ambassadors
program.
C
You've
put
that
together
so
very
quickly
at
the
beginning
of
covid
out
of
urgent
need
and
with
having
some
experience
under
your
belt
now
and
using
volunteers
for
that
purpose,
and
just
some
experience
from
all
of
us
as
residents
of
minneapolis
and
seeing
that
we've
had
some
complex
and
unusual
challenges
in
some
of
our
neighborhood
parks,
you
know
being
used,
as
is
gathering
places
in
unsafe
ways.
C
There
are
truly
a
lot
of
people
that
want
to
volunteer
and
help
out
in
their
own
area,
and
I
was
curious
if
you
could.
Maybe
this
is.
This
is
probably
a
question
for
superintendent
bangora.
How
can
we
better
connect
people
in
our
community
to
be
volunteer
ambassadors
and
to
hook
into
that
important
work.
B
Chair
palmisales,
a
good
question:
the
the
work
that
currently
this
particular
department,
as
we
saw
the
success,
is
over
the
summer
and
what
was
really
critical.
I
think
that
you
even
said
it
was
that
we
had
people
that
were
out
in
all
areas
of
our
park
system.
We.
B
But
this
new
kind
of
a
role
is
really
kind
of
codifying
it's
putting
it
into
really
practice,
because
what
we
saw
was
in
some
of
our
most
remote
areas
or
places
that,
whether
it's
the
stone
arch
bridge,
whether
it
could
be
water
works,
it
could
be
mcaska,
it
could
be
minnehaha
falls,
it
could
be
where
we
find
the
ambassadors
being
the
eyes
and
the
ears
and
those
in
those
places
are
really
critical.
B
But
we
also
acknowledge
that
we
have
to
also
look
at
the
volunteer
opportunities
that
are
out
there
for
folks
to
be
involved
in
that
director.
Olson
with
the
customer
service
area
will
roll
out
the
registration,
the
volunteer
registration
in
2021,
so
she
will
annie
olson
director
olson
will
roll
out
the
volunteer
registration
in
2021,
and
she
will
then
have
folks
will
have
opportunities
to
connect
and
to
be
a
part
of
this
sort
of
this.
B
This
this
opportunity
around
this
ambassador
piece
and
and
and
and
just
one
example.
We
talked
about
even
with
waterworks,
for
example,
that
coming
online,
which
we're
really
incredibly
excited
about
it'd,
be
really
important
to
have
volunteers
down
at
that
place
on
a
regular
basis
that
would
be
kind
of
greeting
people
and
as
customers
and
and
folks
that
are
coming
to
visit
and
get
history
and
direct
people
to
the
right
places.
B
It's
the
very
same
process
we
want
to
do
and
what
we
want
to
do
is
do
the
same
thing
in
all
of
our
other
locations
across
the
city
and
our
park
system.
So
director,
olson
in
2021,
will
be
rolling
out
a
registration
that
will
give
people
an
opportunity
to
connect
to
that
and
to
volunteer
their
time
with
mtrb.
C
Thank
you.
I
do
have
some
questions
on
kind
of
the
future
of
our
mpp
20
and
otherwise,
but
I,
I
think
I'll
save
that
for
another
day
did
I
hear
somebody
else,
maybe
try
to

C
Nope,
I
think
it's
just
reverb
council
member
johnson.
H
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
I
appreciate
the
presentation
and
all
the
information
given
all
the
different
challenges
that
the
park
board
faces.
This
maybe
seems
like
not
as
significant
of
an
issue,
but
it's
still
one.
I
wanted
to
raise
and
just
ask
the
question
on.
H
I
got
out
for
the
first
time
on
a
bicycle
this
year,
after
a
few
years
of
a
hiatus
and
went
on
the
grand
rounds-
and
I
was
really
surprised
by
the
condition
and
a
couple
of
times
almost
got
thrown
off
my
bike,
because
the
trail
was
just
in
such
poor
shape,
it's
obviously
a
core
service
of
the
park
board,
and
so
I'm
wondering
how
that
fits
into
the
capital
improvement
program
and
the
neighborhood
parks
program
and
what
the
plans
are
around,
maintaining
that
so
it
doesn't
deteriorate
further.
H
I
didn't
see
specific
breakouts
of
sections
or
things
like
that
of
the
regional
trail
system
in
the
capital
improvement
section.
Unless
I
missed
it,
and
so
I
was
wondering
if
we
could
get
a
more
direct
answer
on
what
users
should
expect
of
this
really
tremendous
asset
for
our
entire
city,
region
and
state.
I
Chair
palmisano,
this
is
michael
schroeder
and
I
I'll
be
able
to
respond
somewhat
to
the
council
members
question
we
recognize.
There
are
portions
of
the
trail
system
that
are
falling
behind
we're
trying
to
move
through
an
assessment
and
and
get
a
sequence
of
rehabilitation
that
aligns
more
directly
with
how
three
rivers
implements
their
rehabilitation
program,
they're,
basically
on
a
30-year
replacement
cycle
where
they
do
a
renovation
every
seven
years.
I
I
We
would
like
to
be
on
that
program
because
we
know
that
the
use
of
our
system
is
significant
and
we
have
yet
to
be
able
to
fully
apply
the
dollars
needed.
There
are
some
funding
formulas
that
come
from
the
state
for
regional
park
systems.
This
is
a
struggle
that
all
of
the
implementing
agencies
have
in
the
regional
parks
system
around
minneapolis,
where
we're
receiving
only
a
fraction
of
the
dollars
that
we
should
have
for
the
operations
of
those
parks,
so
we're
working
hard
council
member.
I
I
I
would
encourage
council
members
or
any
member
of
the
public
to
direct
concerns
over
particularly
bad
areas
to
us.
We
do
go
out
and
respond
as
quickly
as
we
can
to
those
areas
that
would
be
potentially
really
hazardous,
but
I
appreciate
the
question.
H
Thank
you,
and
I
appreciate
the
information
on
that,
and
certainly
along
many
creek
and
part
of
calhoun
as
well
seemed
particularly
bad,
but
it's
you
know.
Obviously
it's
not
just
an
experience
issue.
It
is
a
safety
issue
for
users
of
the
trail,
and
I
appreciate
the
context
as
well
over
some
of
the
challenges
here,
and
hopefully
this
can
get
on
to
that
program
that
you're
talking
about
where
it's
maintained
better
it.
H
You
know-
and
I
understand
certainly
as
well
how
that
fits
into
the
context
of
all
the
other
challenges
you
all
are
dealing
with
too.
It's
something
we
are
constantly
reminded
of
at
the
city
that
we
need
to
continue
focusing
on
those
core
services,
while
also
responding
to
the
different
crises
that
are
before
us.
So,
thanks
again
for
the
answers.
G
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
mr
mr
bangora,
mike
and
others
I
just
wanted
to
chime
in
and
thank
you
for
being
really
great
partners.
Your
professional
staff
has
just
been
invaluable,
but
also
in
particular,
that
you
have
reached
out
yourself
and
have
had
many
conversations
with
me
over
the
course
of
the
pandemic.
G
I
really
feel
like
with
the
parkway
closures
and
allowing
more
space
for
people.
I
was
not
sure
if
that
would
work.
It
worked
really
well,
and
I
feel,
like
you
guys,
have
really
been.
Your
professional
staff
have
really
been
helpful
and
to
work
with.
I
realized
that
you
didn't
come
here
to
have
covid
happen,
but.
E
G
That
you
have
proven
your
leadership
by
being
able
to
lead
this
organization
during
a
very
critical
time
of
crisis,
and
I
just
really
appreciate
the
work
of
your
staff.
I
had
the
good
fortune
to
work
with
mr
schroeder
on
the
thomas
lowery
park
project
and
although
that
has
been
delayed
due
to
kovid,
which
is
understandable,
I
really
appreciate
the
attention
and
passion
that
my
mr
schroeder
and
others
have
put
into
the
work
in
the
word
that
I
represent.
So
I
just
wanted
to
chime
in
and
tell
you.
G
G
B
You
thank
you
councilman
goodman.
Thank
you
so
much
for
that.
I
really
appreciate
that,
and
it
truly
was
a
pleasure.
It's
been
a
pleasure
working
with
you
and
and
and
finding
solutions.
This
summer
you've
been
wonderful
to
work
with,
and
I
also
will
say
back
to
you.
Thank
you
for
all
your
work
and
I
really
appreciate
it.
So
thank
you
for
those
those
kind
words.
C
Thank
you,
superintendent,
bangor,
I'm
not
seeing
any
other
questions
or
comments
from
my
colleagues.
Thank
you
for
joining
us
yourself,
ms
tilson,
mr
schroeder.
We
appreciate
it
at
this
point.
I
will
turn
it
over
to
finance
and
property
services,
and
I
believe
our
chief
financial
officer,
dushani
dai,
will
be
giving
that
presentation.

As

wait
to
see,
if
my
colleagues
have
any
questions
or
comments,
I
did
want
to
mention
something
that
came
up
last
week
and
it's
that
director.
I
want
to
thank
you
personally
for
following
up
on
a
lot
of
audit
issues.
C
You
are
fairly
new
around
here,
but
in
part
because
this
we
were
operating
in
this
interim
status
for
quite
some
time.
It
has
been
really
great
to
see
and
it
was
presented
out
at
audit
committee
just
how
many
open
audit
issues
have
been
cleared
and
taken
care
of
from
from
you
and
your
in
your
team.
I
hope
that
you'll
consider
taking
some
credit
for
that
at
our
future
december
audit
meeting
as
well.
C
C
I'm
not
seeing
any
others
in
queue

now
for
comments
or
questions,
so
thank
you
direct
or
die.
Seeing
no
further
discussion
