Description
Minneapolis Intergovernmental Relations Committee Meeting
https://lims.minneapolismn.gov/
A
Good
afternoon,
everyone
I'm
going
to
call
to
order
this
regularly
scheduled
intergovernmental
relations
committee
meeting.
My
name
is
Andrew
Johnson
I'm,
the
committee
chair
and
I'm
joined
today
by
a
quorum
of
committee,
members,
council,
members
reich
customer
or
sami
council
vice
president
and
vice
chair
of
the
committee
and
your
jenkins
council
president
bender
councilmember
Schrader,
and
we're
also
joined
by
councilmember
Allison.
Today,
thanks
for
being
a
committee,
so
we
have
two
items
on
our
printed
agenda
and
is
well
a
walk
on
item
that
I
want
to
add
to
the
agenda
under
consent.
A
That
item
is
related
to
amending
the
legislative
agenda
and
policy
positions
to
put
support
in
there
for
a
state
statute,
around
catalytic
converter,
thefts,
which
are
really
affecting
a
lot
of
residents,
not
just
in
Minneapolis
but
really
across
the
Twin
Cities.
So
I
will
see
if
anyone
has
any
questions
or
concerns
about
adding
that
to
the
agenda
and
then
what
I'm
gonna
do
is,
since
each
one
of
these
we're
gonna
move
forward.
The
first
printed
item
without
consent.
So
what
I'm
going
to
do
is
I'll
just
to
make
things
really
easy
and
clear
for
everybody.
A
I'll.
Take
this
walk
on
item
and
move
approval
first
of
amending
the
legislative
agenda.
Any
further
comments,
questions
not
seeing
any
all
those
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
those
opposed
the
motion
carries,
and
then
we
have
our
first
item
on
the
printed
consent
agenda,
which
is
the
passage
of
a
resolution
for
highway.
252
and
I-94.
A
B
Certainly
mr.
chair
yeah,
the
intention
is
to
dovetail
some
of
the
work
and
language
that
have
been
several
offices
of
showing
considerable
interest
in
this,
which
is
appropriate,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
that
language
dovetails
well
in
the
final
comment
that
we
want
to
make
as
a
city,
so
I'm
very
committed
to
the
language
that
we
want
to
have
to
be
strong
and
clear,
because
the
community
is
definitely
watching
this
and
the
impacts
of
a
project
might
have
related
impacts.
B
That
might
not
be
apparent
in
the
base
project,
but
we
recognize
can
have
definite
impacts
in
terms
of
the
broader
community
and
our
other
network
transportation
network.
So
we
want
to
make
that
clear
and
not
lose
this
opportunity
to
make
those
comments
and
we're
gonna
make
them
as
smooth
and
clear
as
possible.
D
Umbrella
Thank,
You
council
president
Thank
You
mr.
chair
I,
just
wanted
to
make
a
few
comments.
One
is
that
you
know
I
think
there
has
been
a
lot
of
discussion.
There's
a
lot
of
interest.
I
know
that
councilmember
Cunningham
who's
wasn't
able
to
be
here
today.
This
is
also
something
that's
probably
gonna
affect
his
worth
the
most,
but
but
but
North
Minneapolis
as
a
whole
in
North
Metro
as
a
whole.
D
The
project
is,
is,
is
sort
of
a
spans
three
cities
in
that
way,
I
think
one
of
the
things
that
has
slowly
dawned
on
me
as
we've
been
having
this
conversation
about
this
freeway
expansion
is
I've
been
asked
myself.
How
is
this
gonna
land
on
North
Minneapolis
residents
and
at
first
you
know
when
you
asked
the
question.
Well,
what
do
you
think
of
the
I-94
252
project?
D
Well,
we're
not
doing
this
we're
doing
this
I
think
once
you
start
seeing
those
bulldozers
go
through
90,
once
residents
start
seeing
those
bulldozers,
excavating
hills
and
adding
lanes
no
amount
of
you
know,
semantic
gymnastics
is
going
to
convince
people
that
we're
in
deepening
and
widening
what
many
people
view
as
as
a
scar
that
is,
that
is,
that
is
contributed
to
the
lack
of
connectivity
from
North
Minneapolis
to
the
river
in
downtown,
and
so
I
think
that
it's
really
important.
You
know
that
Minneapolis
has
a
stake
in
this.
D
Prioritizes
racial
equity,
prioritizes
connectivity
and
and
and
a
few
other
priorities
that
we
feel
like
the
current
construction
at
the
current
way
that
the
current
layout
doesn't
prioritize
those
things
as
much
and
again.
That's
not
because
anybody
has
any
sort
of
intense
I
think
that
that's
just
sort
of
how
these
projects
go.
If
you
allow
them
to
move
at
the
speed
of
the
status
quo,
and
so
that's
really
the
intention
behind
the
the
shift
in
language
and
I'm
excited
to
work
with
my
colleagues
to
hopefully
get
something.
C
You
mr.
chair
I'm,
you
know
I
I,
think
I
do
want
to
just
also
underscore
some
things
that
comes
my
Ellison
said
and
highly
that
this
project
is
at
a
really
critical
point.
A
lot
of
decisions
are
going
to
be
made
by
agencies
MnDOT
by
the
Metropolitan
Council.
C
Those
two
agencies
are
currently
working
together
to
scope
the
environmental
review
of
this
project.
So
it
is
a
moment
where
I
think
the
city
wants
to
be
exceedingly
clear
in
our
position,
so
I'm
glad
that
we're
taking
the
time
that
it
that
we
need
to
say
what
we
really
mean
to
say
and
and
incorporate
as
council
member
right,
because
chair
Reich
said
you
know
all
of
the
various
perspectives.
C
You
know
that
as
khansamar
Ellison
said,
I
94
caused
harm
in
our
communities,
and
you
know
we
have
the
benefit.
As
a
city
of
the
recent
experience
of
really
standing
firm
on
insisting
that
the
35w
quarter
has
transit
in
it.
We
learned
a
lot
from
that
experience
and
and
I
think
it
is
unthinkable
that
the
city
of
Minneapolis
would
have
a
different
standard
for
this
quarter
than
we
did
for
the
35w
corridor.
C
In
fact,
given
the
history
here,
I
think
you
know
there's
just
many
layers
of
concern
that
even
go
beyond
the
transit
piece,
so
I
mean
just
being
exceedingly
clear
that
the
transit
piece
is
non-negotiable.
For
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
as
consular
Ellison
said,
I
mean
this
is
a
safety
project
and
of
course
we
care
deeply
about
everyone's
safety
and
and-
and
you
know,
have
a
commitment
to
working
with
our
partners
in
Brooklyn
Center
in
Brooklyn
Park
to
make
sure
that
people
are
safe,
but
the
the
widening
that
is
proposed
for
this
roadway
I
think
has.
C
There
are
a
lot
of
questions
to
ask
about
that
approach
to
Street
safety,
given
all
that
we
know
about
Street
design
and
and
all
that
we
have
learned
collectively
as
a
community
about
you,
know,
Road
capacity
and
and
and
safety
for
all
users.
So
I
think
there
are
fundamental
questions
even
about
the
pieces
that
aren't
in
Minneapolis,
but
certainly
the
pieces
that
are
not
in
our
city
have
dramatic
impacts
on
our
community.
C
It
looks
like
from
the
projections
of
the
project
sponsors
that
traffic
will
almost
double
in
Minneapolis
as
a
result
of
this
project,
and
that
is,
you
know,
a
huge
impact
on
communities
that
are
already
seeing.
You
know
the
history
of
environmental
injustice.
You
know
health
impacts
from
the
freeway
itself
and
other
cumulative
health
impact.
C
So
I
think
you
know
we're
getting
to
a
point
where
we're
we're
becoming
more
clear,
I.
Think
expressing
the
position
of
the
City
Council
of
the
city
of
Minneapolis
on
this
project
at
a
point
where
it's
really
important.
We
do
that
so
that
we
can
shape
the
the
project
way
forward
and
I.
Think
we
have
a
lot
of
you
know.
Folks
in
the
community
are
saying
these
things
already
I
know.
Metropolitan
Council
is
already
shifting
their
work
program
around
to
look
again
at
the
transit
in
response
to
a
recent
public
community
event.
C
Think
that's
a
you
know
a
little
cause
for
alarm
for
us
again,
seeing
so
many
of
the
negative
potential
impacts
of
widening
farther
north
I.
Think
we're
just
gonna
want
to
be
really
vigilant
in
our
own
advocacy
for
the
city
and
really
understand
what
our
legal
tools
are
there
available
to
us.
What
are
the
diplomatic
tools
that
are
available
to
us?
What
are
the
organizing
tools
that
are
available
to
us
and
use
them
all,
as
we
did
on
the
35w
corridor,
with
lots
of
lessons
to
draw
from
there
thanks?
Mr.
chair.
E
You
to
Johnson
boy
I'm,
not
sure
if
I
can
state
it
more
eloquently
than
council
president
bender,
but
I
will
just
note
that
you
know
freeways
and
freeway
expansions
have
historically
decimated
African
American
communities
all
throughout
the
country,
and
you
know
certainly
here
in
the
Twin
Cities,
the
Rondo
community
in
st.
Paul,
south
Minneapolis,
where
I
live
and
represent
and
work
and
having
been
in
in
remember
Liljegren
office
as
a
policy
aid
as
well
as
console,
remember
glidden's
office
as
a
policy
aid.
While
we
fought.
E
Valiantly
for
many
many
years
to
to
stop
the
destruction
of
widening
the
freeway,
I
35w
without
any
consideration
to
the
communities
the
neighborhoods
to
transit.
I
know
that
we
can
do
it.
I
know
that
MnDOT
and
Metropolitan
Council
can
do
it
and
we,
as
a
body,
have
to
remain
strong
and
help
them
to
make
this
a
project
that
is
equitable
and
considerate,
I'm,
not
even
sure
how
widening
it
creates
more
safety
that
seems
antithetical
to
me,
but
but
I
know
it
must
include
mitigation.
It
must
include
transit.
D
Consul
president
and
vice-president
of
for
those
remarks,
I
think
that's
absolutely
accurate.
One
thing
that
I
did
also
want
a
name
that
I
think
is
a
concern
to
our
neighbors
to
the
north
of
us.
You
know,
and
while
it's
not
going
to
maybe
affect
us
and
our
constituents
is
that
there
you
know
there
are
people's
homes
that
are
gonna,
be
affected
by
this
right,
potentially
destroyed
by
this
project
and
I.
Think
that
that
shouldn't
be
taken
lightly
and
and
also
the
fact
that
you
had
to
put
it
frankly,
you
know
adding
a
lane.
D
The
does
not
resolve
congestion
issues.
Right,
resolves
congestion
issues
for
maybe
months,
maybe
a
single
year
or
two
at
a
time
and
then
we're
right
back
to
where
we
are
with.
Why
we're
moving
forward
this
project
in
the
first
place,
only
with
more
cars
on
the
road
more
you
know,
so
all
those
things
are
are
very.
Are
accurate
and
and
and
I
think
that
at
some
point
right
now
we're
trying
to
take
a
project
that
we
think
could
be
better
and
make
sure
that
it
has
the
values
and
that
it
is
better.
D
D
You
know
putting
caps
on
the
freeways-
and
you
know,
parks
above
them
and
all
that
stuff,
so
maybe
both
visions
for
a
little
bit
for
later,
but
for
right
now,
I
think
that
we
can
lean
into
you,
know:
race,
equity
and
and
transit,
and
and
all
the
things
that
my
colleagues
discussed
here,
but
just
wanted
to
say
that
I
think
that
we're
it's
not
just
Minneapolis.
It
has
some
who
has
some
pause
about
this
project.
I
think
that
some
of
our
neighbors,
who
are
also
affected
also
are
gonna,
be
articulating
some
pause.
D
C
Mr.
chair
I
I
just
wanted
to
note
that
you
know
customer
Ellison
and
Cunningham
have
been
involved
in
this
project
and
I
think
are
showing
really
great
leadership.
You
know,
on
behalf
of
their
residents
and
and
just
will
need
our
strong
support
as
a
body
you've
like
standing
together
with
those
wards
and
communities
that
are
directly
impacted,
knowing
that
all
of
us
are
in
this
together
and
that
our
standards
just
have
to
be
high
to
the
council
members
point.
C
We
hope
that
we
can
made
this
project
better,
but
there
may
be
a
point
where
we
say
just
no
to
this
impact
on
our
community
and
those
are
some
tough
decisions
that
I
know
that
council
members
are
under
pressure
from
partner
organizations,
to
you,
know,
be
a
team
player
and
to
think
about
the
safety
issues,
and
those
are
of
course
things
that
we
wanted
you,
but
we
can't.
We
can't
do
that
at
the
expense
of
the
health
of
our
communities.
C
A
Additional
discussion
just
really
appreciate
all
the
commentary,
great
comments
from
colleagues,
so
the
motion
is
to
move
this
four
without
recommendation
to
the
full
council,
all
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye
as
opposed
the
motion
carries
with
that.
We'll
move
on
to
our
final
item,
a
discussion
item
receiving
a
updates
on
our
federal
state
and
local
partners.
F
F
All
sorts
of
medical
supplies
also
grants
the
states
and
local
governments
to
try
and
combat
this
virus.
Here
in
Minnesota
on
Monday
the
Legislature
passed
in
both
bodies
and
sent
to
the
governor
chapter
66,
what
that
did
is
allocated
or
appropriated
twenty
million
dollars
precisely
twenty
point:
nine
million
dollars
through
the
Department
of
Health
and
went
into
their
public
health
response
contingency
account
and
that's
an
account
that
was
set
up
a
couple
years
ago
to
deal
with
emergencies
of
this
type
and
that
money
will
be
there
until
February
of
2021.
F
It
is
a
one-time
expended
one-time
appropriation
and
has
said
as
of
February
1st
2021.
Anything
over
five
million
dollars
left
in
that
account
goes
into
the
general
fund.
So
the
legislature
has
appropriated
21/28
proximately,
twenty-one
million
dollars
to
fight
the
virus
in
our
state
and
he
will
probably
be
fought
and
there
are
limitations
and
$1.00
in
the
contingency
account
legislation.
So
there
could
be
some
money
flowing
to
our
Public
Health
Department
to
council.
E
F
F
A
A
People
take
care
of
themselves
and
go
to
accurate
sources
for
information
and
are
willing
to
take
on
what
they
can
into
their
social
responsibility
as
well
to
help
keep
their
neighbors
their
friends,
their
family,
their
co-workers,
safe
and
healthy
and
themselves
as
well.
Council
president
bender
Thank.
C
You
mr.
chair
I
really
appreciate
those
comments
that
have
come
on
this
and
I
did
want
to
highlight
well
to
your
point
about
the
resources
I.
The
University
of
Minnesota
has
a
great
website
resource
where
they
are
sharing
information.
That's
geared
toward
the
public,
but
also
you
know
the
latest
research
and
I
think
it's
a
really
great
resource
and
we're
lucky
to
have
that
institution
here
and
also
a
great
medical
provider
as
well.
C
So
it
may
be
something
that
we
look
to
see
if
other
communities
are
are
thinking
about
this
and
whether
it's
funding
for
emergency
assistance
dollars
for
folks
to
be
able
to
stay
in
their
housing,
or
you
know
something
more
like
a
moratorium
on
evictions
or
you
know,
we
know
we
don't
even
still
have
written
notification
of
eviction
in
Minnesota
so
that
you
know
our
delegation
is
working
on
that
this
session.
But
is
there
something
that
can
be
done
around
housing
stability
as
we
anticipate
folks
dealing
with
incomes,
dropping
and
instability?
C
And
you
know
childcare,
instabilities
and
all
those
different
things?
How
is
that
affecting
people's
ability
to
stay
in
their
homes?
So
I
thought
it
was
a
great
point,
a
great
question
and
something
we
may
want
to
raise
with
our
delegation.
Our
partner
agencies,
the
county
which,
which
manages
a
millions
of
dollars
in
emergency
rental
assistance.
Some
of
the
foundations
as
well
have
really
stepped
up,
even
in
our
current
situation,
which
has
been
challenging
and
difficult
for
so
many
families.
Knowing
that
may
be
ratcheted
up
so
wanted
to
mention
that
here.
Thank.
F
Chairman
there
is
an
economic
impact,
it's
obvious
the
some
examples
across
the
country,
Austin
Texas,
canceled
South
by
Southwest
they're,
saying
it's.
A
four
hundred
million
dollar
impact
on
their
community
and
many
of
the
small
businesses
rely
heavily
on
south
southwest
and
some
of
them
may
fold
because
of
that
also
the
supply
chain.
Many
people
like
by
supplement
manufacturers
etc
having
problems
getting
materials
back
from
China.
Also,
we
are
seeing
the
Federal
Reserve
drop
the
rate
again.
So
there
is
a
concern,
and
here
locally
at
the
state.
F
The
governor
is
looking
at
what's
happening
and
in
terms
of
projections
or
revenue
and
being
very
careful
about
the
supplemental
budget
which
would
be
coming
out.
Surely
if
it
comes
out
at
all,
so
it's
not
only
is
that
a
public
health
issue.
It's
definitely
becoming
an
economic
issue
too.
Absolutely.
F
Also
here
at
the
state
there
are
a
couple
of
things
going
on
with
local
government
aid.
The
2021
estimate
has
been
done
by
the
folks
in
house
research
and
for
years
we
were
concerned
that
we
would
be
exceeding
our
needs
and
would
stop
receiving
additional
aid.
I
may
even
have
a
decline
that
year
is
2021
right
now,
they're
projecting,
possibly
a
four
point:
1
million
dollar
reduction
in
our
local
government
aid.
There
are
88
other
of
our
cities
in
the
same
position
we
are
in.
F
So
we
are
working
with
the
League
of
Cities
metro
cities
to
try
and
find
a
solution.
One
of
the
solutions
is
that,
right
now,
if
you
had
any
loss
coming
in
2020,
it
was
covered.
There
was
a
hold
harmless
that
no
one
could
lose
in
2020.
So
we're
trying
to
see
if
we
could
find
a
way
to
extend
that
to
2021
and
see
whether
that
would
cost
or
is
another
way
to
reconfigure
the
formula
where
no
one
loses,
but
not
everyone
gains
out
Sarma.
So
that's
we'll
keep
you
posted
on
that
other
in
the
Senate.
F
As
you
are
well
aware,
there's
a
bill
that
would
basically
tie
our
LGI's
expenditure
expenditures
of
LGA
to
the
number
of
police
officers.
We
have
there's
no
similar
legislation
yet
that
I'm,
aware
of
I
the
house
also
in
pensions,
there's
an
attempt
to
try
and
get
some
more
additional
funding,
basically
extend
the
PE
our
aid
program.
That
was
a
program
that
paid
so
much
per
person.
We
backed
based
on
a
formula
back
in
1998
that
be
about
six
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
to
the
city.
F
We
did
receive
it
up
till
this
year
and,
if
is
refunded,
throwing
this
bike
during
this
session,
we
could
receive
that
this
year,
there's
also
an
attempt
in
some
quarters
legislation
that
would
repeal
this
year
the
Murph
money,
which
would
be
a
big
hit
on
the
city.
The
stadium
reserved
a
bill
has
been
introduced
in
the
Senate
to
basically
keep
the
money
collected
in
the
stadium
reserve.
Fourth
for
to
write
down
the
bonds
in
2023.
Similar
legislation
should
be
introduced
to
the
house
this
week.
Great
I'll,
stop
for
questions.
Mr.
G
G
We.
This
was
the
first
time
that
the
committee
had
the
opportunity
to
be
briefed
on
the
upper
harbour
terminal
redevelopment
proposals.
So
we
it
was
about
an
hour
long
and
we
had
a
lot
of
Gurley
great
questions
and
dialogue
between
presenters
as
well
as
committee
members,
the
house,
the
house,
because
the
city
did
present
on
upper
harbor
last
session
and
it
carries
over
into
this
session.
E
A
G
I
can't
speak
for
the
senator
or
the
committee
members
that
received
the
the
letter,
but
the
the
author
of
the
letter
was
there
at
the
at
the
hearing
yesterday
and
was
given
the
opportunity
to
speak.
It
was
kind
of
hearing
on
our
project
as
well
as
the
opportunity
for
the
public
to
speak
on
the
project.
We
they
share
their
concerns
about
the
project.
G
We
had
the
opportunity
to
address
them.
We
had
about
32
members
from
the
community
and
and
some
city
staff
show
up
in
support
of
the
project,
which
was
a
really
great
turnout.
So
we
are.
We
continue
to
work
with
those
who
have
stated
their
concerns
in
opposition
to
the
project.
I
know,
arcpad
staff
is
continually
continuing
to
engage
through
the
CPC
process,
as
well
as
doing
one-on-one
meetings
to
try
to
address
the
concerns
that
were
raised
in
the
letter
as
well
as
at
the
hearing.
Yesterday.
Okay,
thank.
G
So
the
house
will
be
wrapping
up
the
hearings
on
bonding
bills
and
intends
to
produce
a
final
bill
estimated
at
the
at
the
end
of
the
month
before
the
the
April
3rd
break,
but
we're
not
totally
sure
on
that
release
date.
Yet
bonding
bills
do
need
to
originate
out
of
the
house.
The
Senate
is
up
then
kind
of
responds
to
what
the
house
puts
out.
So
let
the
negotiations
begin.
G
As
far
as
a
public
safety
update,
House
file,
8
and
house
file,
9
were
passed
off
of
the
House
floor
on
February
27th.
Those
house
file.
G
G
As
well
as
connect
folks
with
social
services,
if
needed,
it's
the
bill
also
proposes
to
decriminalize
fair
evasions.
Currently
there
are
criminal
offense
while
a
misdemeanor,
and
they
have
a
very
high
high
fee
to
them.
The
bill
would
then
decriminalize
it
and
put
it
make
it
more
aligned
with
a
parking
ticket.
So
the
city,
it's
in
line
with
our
criminal
justice
reform
efforts
to
decriminalize
activities
and
right-size
the
penalty
that
is
move
it.
That
just
was
heard
by
the
Judiciary
Committee.
G
E
Vice-Chair
drinkin's
Thank
You,
chair
Johnson,
and
this
is
not
a
question
but
just
a
comment
for
my
colleagues.
I
just
met
with
the
City
Attorney's
Office
earlier
this
morning
and
we
are
seeing
a
huge
increase
in
our
jail
population
as
well
as
Metro
Transit
Police
on
the
trains
and
people
are
being
arrested
for
very
low-level
crimes
like
their
evasion
and
sleeping
on
trains.
E
G
G
The
city
has
added
support
for
everything
from
the
homes
for
all
agenda,
which
is
seeking
five
hundred
million
dollars
in
housing,
infrastructure
and
general
obligation
bonds.
We
also
support
the
Minnesota
Housing
Finance
agencies,
request
for
200
million
in
housing,
infrastructure
bonds
and
60
million
in
general
obligation
bonds.
Obviously,
we
support
the
more
investment
in
housing.
We
support.
The
city
is
also
actively
supporting
a
shelter
bill
that
would
provide
one-time
stand-alone
dollars
for
shelters
to
apply
through
a
competitive
process
through
MH
FA
again.
G
This
would
just
be
a
one
I'm
one-year
allocation,
so
renter
protections,
one
believe
was
the
first
week
of
March.
The
house
heard
five
ton
of
protection
bells
and
they
all
made
it
through
committee
and
will
be
scheduled
to
be
heard
in
the
House
Judiciary
Committee
and
they
arranged
from
prediction:
pre
eviction
notice
and
quite
a
few
landlord
tenant.
Purvis
provision
modifications
around
noting
that
landlords
setting
a
24-hour
rule
for
landlords
to
enter
property
is
setting
the
hours
from
8
a.m.
to
8
p.m.
G
new
requirements
around
emergency
repairs,
minimum
temperatures
within
units
and
the
last
one
would
lift
the
affordability
covenant
for
both
state
and
local
governments
to
allow
more
than
30
years
of
affordability,
requirements
to
projects
that
are
receive
public
funding.
There
were
those
entities
happy
to
stand
for
any
questions
on
those
not.
G
F
F
We
with
the
League
of
Cities
metro
cities,
as
opposed
to
that
we're
working
closely
with
them
on
that
too.
The
bill
could
be
heard
and
probably
in
the
Senate,
but
there
was
a
author
in
the
house
representative
Elkins,
and
it
could
get
heard
there
too.
So
we're
trying
to
find
ways
to
work
on
that
bill
and
I
know
as
many
men.
Several
members
have
contacted
us
on
that
bill
got
City,
Council
members
and
others
and
staff,
and
we're
trying
to
get
some
arguments
for,
and
some
information
on
that
council.
C
You
mr.
chair
I'm
glad
you
mentioned
that,
and
probably
does
you
know,
need
some
follow-up
internally
at
our
next.
You
know
we
have
those
meetings
scheduled
regularly
as
well.
I
think
it's
interesting
from
what
I
can
tell
from
the
proposal.
The
city
might
be
open
to
some
elements
of
the
of
the
legislation,
but
maybe
not
other
elements
of
it
and
it's
a
you
know.
It's
an
interesting
question.
C
But
on
the
other
hand
we
know
how
hard
it
is
from
first-hand
experience
to
you
know
to
allow
for
more
housing
in
our
communities
and
there
are
consequences
beyond
you
know,
city
borders
that
are
regional
nature
and
a
statewide
nature,
and
so
I'm
actually
encouraged
that
the
legislature
is
is
thinking
about
this
and
is
taking
it
up.
You
know
another
one
of
member
of
our
delegation
and
I
talked
about
this
as
well.
It's
just
this
general
topic
of
expanding
housing,
choice
and
looking
at
ways
that
the
state
can
be
a
partner
in
that
work.
C
So
I
think
it's
an
interesting
debate.
It's
really
part
of
a
national
trend
of
states
looking
at
land-use
differently
and
seeing
this
consequences
of
local
decisions
adding
up
over
time,
I
think
we
would
probably
want
to
ask
for
more
support
from
our
legislature
on
some
other
issues
if
they
were
I
kind
of
take
action
on
this
one,
but
but
those
things
are
moving
too
and
I
think
it
I
mean,
maybe
to
be
more
specific
about
that.
C
I
think
the
states
that
have
moved
toward
loosening
up
their
housing
markets
and
allowing
more
housing
have
done
so
in
coordination
with
you
know
being
clear
about
things
like
inclusionary
zoning,
which
I
think
our
legislature
could
stand
to
improve
our
state
laws
around.
You
know
enabling
localities
to
do
inclusionary.
Zoning
is
we
have
you
know
these
paired
it
with
renter
protections,
they've,
actually
paired
it
with
rent
increase
caps
that
we
are
starting
to
study
so
they've
not
just
done
the
market
deregulation
side,
but
they've
paired
it
with
a
comprehensive
approach
to
housing.
C
B
You
mr.
chair
and
yes,
lots
to
talk
about.
Indeed,
and
but
I
wasn't
even
approached
this
topic,
but
you
opened
the
door
so
Thank
You.
Mr.
mayor,
you
know
not
to
get
into
any
detail
now
but
yeah.
There
there's
two
ways
to
look
at
it
and
on
the
main,
from
my
perspective,
one
and
a
council
president
alluded
to
it.
Is
this:
just
you
know
raw
market
liberalization
with
no
rule
policy
objective
at
the
end
of
the
deal.
B
It's
clearly
I
don't
see
the
merit
in
that,
although
others
might
and
then
there's
a
whole
thing
about
concurrence
concurrence
with
metric.
You
know
regional
plans
to
me.
If
it's
about
that,
then
then
we
have
a
conversation
and
I
think
there's
a
strong
place
where
Minneapolis
can
have
its
role
as
a
deciding
factor
in
how
it
community
grows,
because
we
are
consistent
with
the
objectives
of
the
Metro
plan
and
I
think
we're
what
was
being
discussed
earlier.
Was
this
notion
that
people
are
out
of
sync
with
our
agreements
as
a
region?
It's
like!
Oh
yeah.
B
We
agree
with
this
as
a
region,
but
then
when
it
gets
time
to
actually
do
it
and
implement
at
the
local
level-
oh,
not
so
much
as
a
matter
of
fact
they
codify,
then
not
so
much
and
I
think
that's
a
conversation
very,
very
well
worth
having
as
long
as
it
goes
down
that
path.
But
if
you
read
this
strip
article,
this
was
just
sort
of
a
neoliberal
open
up
the
market
move
that
I
don't
think
we
would
necessary
concur
with
him
Thank.
H
You
councilmember
straighter
I
can
be
brief
because
of
my
other
colleagues
like
I,
think
is
very
well
put,
but
comes
Mike
and
the
council
president
I
think
the
one
thing
I
would
add
to
that
is
if
our
state
representatives
really
want
to
help
out
on
affordable
housing
and
they're
sincere
about
that
approve
the
bonding
bill
that
it.
That
really
is
just
really
comes
down
to
that
simple.
It's
very
hard
I
had
to
get
that
on
their
level,
but
if
they
want
a
real
meaningful
impact,
the
500
would
be
fantastic.
F
The
Chairman
in
response,
the
councilmember
rights,
comment
that
bills
only
applies
to
the
seven-county
metropolitan
area,
so
there's
a
framework
there
that's
also
made
your
first
option
may
also
be
involved
in
there
too.
We
have
to
think
we
have
to
work
on,
but
that
bill
may
be
may
be
heard
in
both
bodies.
A
In
the
additional
discussion
I'm
not
seeing
any,
thank
you
so
much
for
the
updates.
You
really
appreciate
them.
Lots
of
things
going
on
I'm,
very
active
as
usual.
I'll
go
ahead
and
move
that
we
receive
and
file
those
updates.
All
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye.
Those
opposed
the
motion
carries
with
no
further
business
before
us.
This
meeting
is
adjourned.
