Let
the
record
reflect
that
we
have
a
quorum
for
today's
meeting.
Colleagues,
we
have
a
long
agenda
ahead
of
us.
Thank
you
all
for
your
effort
to
prepare.
For
today
we
have
two
public
hearings
on
the
agenda.
The
first
hearing
is
on
the
mayor's
proposed
reappointment
of
the
fire
chief,
which
was
referred
to
us
by
the
executive
committee,
and
I
will
recognize
mayor
frye
for
item
one.
G
Thank
you,
madam
president,
so
I
wanted
to
go
into
some
of
the
procedural
logistics
that
we've
been
facing
over
the
last
year.
As
you
know,
chief
friedel
and
I
have
been
talking
about
plans
for
transition
over
the
last
probably
two
years
now
and
we
were
working
towards
a
plan
for
transition
prior
to
the
commencement
of
of
covet
19
in
the
global
pandemic.
G
And
of
course,
we
didn't
want
to
entirely
shift
chiefs
and
leadership
in
the
middle
of
a
crisis
like
that,
and
so
obviously
the
chief
continued
to
serve
through
a
series
of
different
crises,
including
the
global
pandemic,
the
economic
downturn
and
then
the
unrest
following
the
killing
of
george
floyd.
And
I
want
to
tell
you
how
much
I
appreciate
the
chief
service
through
that
very
very
difficult
time
and
at
the
executive
committee.
G
I
I
noted
that
the
plan
was
for
reappointment
and
looking
to
transition
by
december
and
so
we're
looking
for
a
transition
to
the
next
chief
by
december.
So
in
a
way
it
departs
from
a
regular
appointment
that
would
be
for
a
two-year
period.
G
In
that,
we
would
be
agreeing
with
the
chief
that
we
would
in
fact
transition
for
by
december
to
the
next
chief,
and
he
would
assist,
of
course,
in
over
the
next
several
months
and
making
that
happen
and
so
based
on
conversations
that
I've
had
recently
within
with
the
chief.
It
could
be
even
earlier
than
december,
and
so
with
that
in
mind,
I
would
ask
that
you
not
move
this
nomination
forward
today.
G
If,
in
fact,
that
is
your
prerogative
and
then
we
can
figure
out
the
procedural
mechanism
to
accomplish
what
we
thought
we
would
accomplish
by
december,
but
in
fact,
do
it
a
little
even
earlier,
and
so
in
addition,
I
know
that
the
the
chief
is
looking
forward
to
offering
a
presentation
at
a
meeting
in
the
future
likely
in
august
regarding
the
unrest
and-
and
I
know,
he's
ready.
G
To
to
do
that,
her
discussions
and
and
with
I
believe,
councilmember
johnson,
so
with
that
council
president
I'll
turn
it
back
over
to
you.
But
I
wanted
to
provide
that
framing.
A
Thank
you,
mayor
fry,
because
the
process
was
initiated
imported
by
the
executive
committee.
We
do
have
the
item
of
the
public
hearing
on
today's
agenda.
A
So
when
I'm
hearing
mayor
fry
is
a
request
to
postpone
this
item
for
a
future
council
meeting,
we
do
need
to
open
the
public
hearing,
as
noticed
to
the
public.
So
I
will
do
that
open
the
public
hearing
and
see
if
there
are
any
speakers
signed
up
to
speak
and
I
will
just
pause
and
invite
anyone
who
has
signed
up
to
speak
to
do
so.
You
would
have
to
press
star
six
to
unmute.
A
It
looked
like
we
had
some
speakers
signed
up,
but
they
may
not
be
on
the
line
so
I'll
just
pause
to
confirm.
I
J
Madam
president,
clarification
is
the
motion
you're
looking
for
to
continue
this
public
hearing
for
two.
A
Cycles,
councilmember
johnson.
I
would
be
happy
to
take
that
as
a
motion,
or
I
heard
council
vice
president
chime
in,
I
think
a
motion
to
postpone
for
two
cycles
makes
sense
and
seems
appropriate
with
what
the
mayor
described.
J
Perfect,
I'm
happy
to
move
that
or
or
counsel
vice
president
jenkins,
if
that's
their
intent,
certainly
I'll
support
that
motion
as
a
second.
A
Thank
you.
We
have
a
motion
from
council
member
johnson
to
postpone
this
item
for
two
cycles.
Mr
clerk,
I
had
intended
to
leave
the
hearing
open
for
that
time,
but
I
could
also
close
this
hearing
and
reopen
it
at
that
time.
Do
you
have
a
preference,
mr
clerk.
A
J
B
F
F
E
M
I
A
That
carries
and
that
item
will
be
postponed
for
two
council
cycles.
The
next
public
hearing
is
on
the
ordinance
tied
to
new
workplace
regulations
about
freelance
worker
protections,
which
would
require
contracts
for
freelance
work
and
increase,
which
would
require
contracts
for
freelance
work
and
increase
opportunities
for
enforcement
of
those
contracts.
A
This
ordinance
was
introduced
by
council
members,
fletcher,
palmisano
and
cunningham,
and
we
have
brian
walsh
from
the
civil
rights
department
and
assistant
city
attorney,
andrea
neff,
with
us
to
provide
the
staff
presentation,
and
then
we
do
have
a
public
hearing
noticed
for
this
item
as
well.
Let's
turn
it
over
to
staff
to
begin
with
their
presentation.
Thank
you.
L
Good
afternoon,
council
president
bender
council
vice
president
jenkins
and
members
of
the
committee,
my
name
is
brian
walsh.
I'm
the
director
of
labor
standards
enforcement
in
the
civil
rights
department,
I'm
joined
today
by
andrea
neff
from
our
city,
attorney's
office
next
slide
and,
of
course,
we're
here,
as
council
president
mentioned
to
introduce
for
public
hearing
your
proposed
freelance
worker
protections
ordinance.
L
L
Self-Employed
entrepreneurs,
independent
contractors
and
freelancers
are
neither
employers
nor
employees
next
slide,
please
what
the
freelance
worker
protection
ordinance
does
in
combination
with
the
existing
wage
theft.
Ordinance
is
recognized
that
many
employees
and
freelancers
face
very
real
and
often
insurmountable
barriers
to
accessing
justice
through
conciliation
court,
leaving
them
and
us
without
any
legal
recourse
or
legal
deterrence.
N
L
What
this
ordinance
provides
is
an
additional
avenue
to
recovery
of
unpaid
wages
and
contracts
for
freelancers
through
the
city's
civil
rights
department,
in
collaboration
with
other
departments
such
as
business,
licensing
and
and
the
attorney's
office.
I'll
now
turn
it
over
to
andrea
neff
to
walk
through
some
of
the
ordinance.
O
O
O
Next
slide,
please,
when
a
commercial
or
business
hiring
party
hires
a
freelancer.
The
ordinance
requires
that
the
contract
between
those
two
parties
must
be
in
writing.
If
the
contract
is
for
one
of
two
amounts,
either
six
hundred
dollars
or
more
within
a
year-long
period
or
two
hundred
dollars
or
more
within
a
seven
day
period,
it
also
applies
if
the
relationship
is
reasonably
expected
to
reach
either
of
those
thresholds,
even
if
that
specific
number
is
not
specified
in
the
contract
next
slide,
please.
O
When
an
individual
hires
a
freelancer
to
do
work
within
the
city
boundaries,
the
requirements
are
a
little
bit
different.
In
that
circumstance,
a
written
contract
is
optional,
but
if
the
parties
do
have
a
written
contract
for
600
or
more,
it
will
be
enforced
by
the
city
through
this
ordinance
next
slide.
Please.
O
It
must
include
the
name
and
the
address
of
both
parties,
a
list
of
the
material
services
that
are
going
to
be
provided
the
amount
of
compensation
or
the
method
of
determining
that
amount
of
compensation,
and
then
also
when
the
payment
is
going
to
be
due
to
the
freelancer
or
how
the
parties
are
going
to
determine
what
that
date
is
next
slide.
Please.
O
Under
the
ordinance,
there
are
two
basic
things
that
are
a
violation:
the
first
one
is
of
hiring
parties,
failure
to
pay
a
freelancer,
the
amount
that
they
agreed
at
the
time
that
was
stated
in
the
contract
or
if
a
hiring
party
were
to
demand
that
a
freelancer
accept
less
than
the
amount
of
greed
as
a
condition
of
being
paid
on
time.
That
is
also
a
violation
of
the
ordinance.
O
It
can
result
in
damages
of
up
to
a
thousand
dollars
to
the
worker,
plus
a
fine
of
up
to
three
thousand
dollars
which
would
go
to
the
city
next
slide.
Please.
O
The
ordinance
that
is
proposed
today
would
be
enforced
by
the
civil
rights
department
in
order
to
be
investigated
by
civil
rights.
Suspected
violations
must
be
reported
within
two
years
or
within
three
years.
If
the
violation
was
willful,
the
civil
rights
department
would
follow
a
process
that
is
similar
to
the
sick
and
safe
time,
ordinance,
minimum
wage
ordinance
and
wage
theft
ordinances
in
terms
of
the
process
that
would
be
followed
to
enforce
the
ordinance
under
this
ordinance,
workers
can
recover
the
amount
that
they
were
owed,
but
not
paid
under
the
contract.
O
O
Very
briefly,
the
worker
can
recover
the
amount
that
they
were
not
paid
under
the
contract
plus
liquidated
damages.
If
a
commercial
hiring
party
fails
to
put
a
contract
into
writing,
there
is
a
up
to
250
dollar
fine.
O
Next
slide,
please.
That
concludes
our
presentation,
but
mr
walsh-
and
I
are,
of
course
happy
to
stand
for
questions.
Thank
you.
A
A
Okay,
so
I'll
go
ahead
and
open
the
public
hearing
has
anyone
signed
in
to
speak
on?
This
item
looks
like
we
have
two
people
on
the
line
to
speak.
You'll
push
star,
sticks
to
unmute
and
you
can
go
ahead
at
any
time.
Please
say
your
name
and
then
you
can
begin
with
your.
F
Yeah
so
my
name.
P
Is
matt
twilliger,
I'm
the
business
representative
for
the
international
alliance,
theatrical
stage
employees,
local
13
and
a
resident
of
minneapolis?
We
are
the
union
of
workers
who
perform
work
behind
the
scenes
for
plays
concerts
conventions,
trade
shows
and
other
live
events.
I
was
elected
as
business
representative
and
took
office
in
january
first
to
2020..
P
F
A
A
P
No
problem
I'll
I'll
back
up
a
little
ways,
I'm
not
sure
where
I
could
cut
off.
I
was
elected
as
the
business
representative
and
took
office
on
january
1st
2020
prior.
F
P
P
I
corresponded
over
email
with
a
manager
in
the
company
and
we
agreed
on
a
fee
for
my
services.
We
never
converted
those
emails
to
a
formal
contract
after
the
performances
were
completed.
I
was
contacted
by
the
company
owner
and
informed
that
my
fee
was
too
high
and
that
they
would
not
be
able
to
pay
it.
F
P
H
P
P
P
Not
address
the
payroll
fraud
that
occurs
when
workers
are
misclassified,
it
does
remove
at
least
a
small
portion
of
the
incentive
to
misclassify
workers.
There
are
certainly
many
stories
in
our
industry
of
misclassified
workers
not
being
paid
for
weeks
or
even
months
after
they
have
completed
their
work.
P
Will
at
least
require
those
employers
to
provide
each
employee
with
a
written
contract,
including
payment
dates
and
provide
a
mechanism
for
enforcement
as
a
labor
union,
we
look
forward
to
helping
workers
learn
more
about
their
rights
under
this
ordinance
when
it
goes
into
effect.
We
also
look
forward
to
continuing
to
work
with
the
minneapolis
city
council
to
fight
back
against
payroll
fraud,
including
worker
misclassification,
in
solidarity,
matt
willger.
A
H
Can
go
ahead.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
council
president
bender.
Vice
president
jenkins
and
members
of
the
council,
my
name
is
davis
senseman.
I
represent
main
street
alliance
of
minnesota
on
the
workplace
advisory
committee
and
I
also
work
with
many
small
business
owners
and
freelance
workers
in
my
private
practice.
As
an
attorney
in
the
aftermath
of
the
recession
of
2008,
we
saw
massive
downsizing
of
company,
employee
workforces
and
massive
growth
of
independent
contractors
and
the
gig
economy.
H
This
happened
for
a
number
of
reasons,
but
mostly
because
independent
contractors
are
cheaper
and
protected
by
fewer
regulations
than
employees.
Independent
contractors
generally
receive
no
benefits
and
cost
a
company,
nothing
in
payroll
tax
obligations,
workers,
compensation
or
unemployment
insurance.
H
There's
no
reason
to
think
that
the
recession
following
this
pandemic
will
be
any
different
and
that
we
aren't
likely
to
see
large
numbers
of
previously
employed
individuals
moving
to
contract
work.
The
city
of
minneapolis
has
rightly
recognized
that
protecting
the
wages
of
workers
in
the
city
from
theft
is
an
important
city
interest
and
enacted
a
wage
theft
law
to
prevent
employees
from
having
those
wages
stolen.
H
A
A
R
Thank
you,
president
bender,
and
thank
you
to
everyone
who
has
worked
with
us
on
this.
Before
I
get
into
comments
on
this.
I
do
wanna
move
one
small
technical
amendment
that
was
sent
to
you
all
previously.
If
the
clerk
has
it
available
to
put
up
on
the
screen
so
that
we
can
show
it.
This
is
just
an
adjustment
to
the
findings.
R
92
percent
of
the
contracts
completed
in
minneapolis
were
contracts
with
businesses,
including
app
platforms
and
gig
economy
companies
and
the
more
than
33
percent
report
having
lost
income
in
the
last
12
months,
due
to
a
hiring
party's
failure
to
pay
or
underpayment
or
late
payment
for
work
performed,
and
that
the
average
of
that
is
750
per
instance,
which
is
all
compelling
reasons
to
move
forward
on
this
ordinance.
And
so
I
will
first
move
this
amendment
just
to
take
care
of
the
technical
business
at
hand.
A
Thank
you,
council,
member
fletcher.
Madam
clerk,
would
you
like
us
to
call
the
role
separately
on
the
amendment,
or
would
it
be
okay
to
move
the
item
as
amended
at
the
as
a
whole
for
the
end
vote
at
the
end.
R
Yes,
please
thank
you,
so
I
first
want
to
just
make
sure
to
offer
my
thanks
to
everyone
who
worked
on
this,
starting
with
where
this
originated,
which
was
with
the
workplace
advisory
committee,
which
made
these
recommendations
to
council
and
is
really
the
reason
that
we
initiated
this
in
the
first
place.
So
I
really
appreciate
that
participation
by
stakeholders
and
thinking
about
our
workplaces
and
really
kind
of
love,
the
way
that
this
developed
organically
out
of
that
work.
R
I
especially
want
to
thank
andrea,
neff,
our
assistant
city
attorney,
who
gave
this
presentation
brian
walsh,
our
director
of
labor
standards
enforcement
in
the
division,
the
director
of
the
labor
standards
enforcement
division
in
the
department
of
civil
rights,
civil
rights,
director,
velma
corbil,
and
everybody
who
put
time
into
this
process.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
work.
I
think
this
has
been
a
long
time
coming.
One
of
the
things
that
we
lose
in
a
pandemic
is
the
opportunity
for
everybody
to
get
together.
R
Who's
worked
on
this
when
we
passed
wage
stuff
last
summer.
It
was
a
joyous
occasion
in
person
where
we
could
hold
a
press
conference
after
and
really
celebrate
our
achievement
and
a
team's
meeting
really
doesn't
do
this
justice.
R
This
ordinance
is
important
because
freelance
work
takes
so
many
different
forms,
and
we
really
wanted
to
think
creatively
about
how
to
make
sure
that
we
extend
these
protections
that
way,
and
we
came
up
with
some
pretty
novel
solutions
that
I
think
are
going
to
be
helpful
to
a
lot
of
people
moving
forward
and
that
have
attracted
some
interest
even
from
other
cities
who
are
sort
of
watching
the
way
this
work
progresses.
R
One
of
the
key
things
that
we
do
is
we
treat
contracts
with
businesses
differently
than
we
treat
contracts
with
individuals.
So
everybody
was
trying
to
figure
out.
How
do
we
make
sure
that
we
are
protecting
people
who
are
entering
into
relationships
with
businesses
where
they
need
protection,
but
not
creating
an
undue
burden
on
hiring
the
neighbor
kid
to
mow
your
lawn
while
you're
on
vacation,
and
I
think
that
having
a
differential
way
of
treating
those
relationships
allows
us
to
not
unnaturally
interfere
with
casual
relationships
that
should
maintain.
R
That
should
remain
casual,
but
also
does
allow
us
to
make
sure
that
people
are
getting
the
protections
that
they
need.
This
is
talking
about
workers
ranging
from
very
well
paid
technical
workers
to
workers
who
are
paid
very
little
in
construction,
jobs
and
delivery,
jobs
and
other
kinds
of
gig
economy,
jobs
and
everybody
in
between,
and
we
wanna
make
sure
that
we
are
protecting
everyone
and
everybody
from
ayatse
to.
R
Swap
just
a
tool
to
a
whole
lot
of
different
groups
really
offered
their
time
in
thinking
this
through
as
we
move
forward,
and
I
I
think
that
it
provides
us
some
really
great
opportunity
to
help
people
right
now.
The
only
recourse
for
contractors
when
they
don't
get
paid
is
to
go
to
court,
and
that
really
is
the
thing
that
we're
trying
to
solve.
For
is
that
if
you're
a
worker,
you
can
come
to
the
city
and
report
wage
theft.
R
R
We
hope
that
this
reduces
the
incentive
to
misclassify
and
moves
us
more
towards
a
universe
where
the
people
who
are
classified
as
contractors
are
legitimately
contractors
by
choice
because
of
the
structure
of
the
work
and
that
people
who
really
ought
to
be
classified
as
employees
are
classified
as
employees,
and
this
is
one
step
in
that
direction,
even
though
this
doesn't
directly
address
misclassification.
It
does
provide
some
equal
regulation
for
people,
regardless
of
where
they're
classified,
which
we
hope
will
be
helpful.
R
I
want
to
especially
recognize
the
work
of
the
policy
aides
within
the
council
office
who
worked
on
this
dave.
Zafran
and
josie
and
aday
put
tremendous
work
into
this,
and
my
colleagues
council
member
paul
asano
and
councilmember
cunningham,
who
also
worked
on
this,
and
I
will
stop
talking
and
yield
to
council
member
promising.
A
S
You
I
too,
am
really
excited
to
finally
be
bringing
this
work
forward.
We've
spent
over
a
year
engaging
as
council
member
fletcher
said,
with
freelancers,
with
businesses
with
the
workplace,
advisory
council
and
lots
of
experts
in
these
types
of
employment
relationships
to
make
sure
that
we
get
this
right.
S
S
So
now,
as
we
face
a
recession
as
the
result
of
covet
19,
it
feels
more
important
than
ever
that
we're
ensuring
that
folks,
who
are
able
to
get
work
are
getting
paid
for
that
work
and
on
the
terms
that
they
agreed
to
we're
not
here,
to
set
those
terms
just
to
be
clear,
and
I
know
that
that
was
outlined
a
little
bit
in
the
presentation,
but
rather
we
are
here
to
simply
require
that
the
terms
agreed
upon
are
accessible
and
that
they
can
be
relied
on.
Should
non-payment
become
an
issue.
S
S
So
I
appreciate
those
who
have
really
led
their
voices
and
personal
stories
to
this
work,
as
well
as
my
co-authors
and
the
city
attorney,
who
put
countless
hours
into
making
this
happen.
So
thank
you
for
your
help
and
thanks
for
the
time.
E
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
my
colleagues
both
spoke
so
beautifully
to
this
ordinance,
so
I
don't
want
to
take
up
too
much
more
time
since
we
have
such
a
robust
council
agenda
before
us
today.
E
I
do
want
to
say
that
that
the
risks
associated
with
living
from
contract
to
contract
are
dire,
and
I'm
grateful
for
this
ordinance
and
the
hard
work
of
my
colleagues
and
city
staff
and
council
staff
to
be
able
to
put
some
sort
of
protection
for
our
put
the
most
protection
in
place
for
our
most
vulnerable
workers
in
a
fast
growing
work
sector.
The
tremendous
leadership
that
was
shown
by
my
colleagues,
council,
member
fletcher
and
council
member
paul
masano.
E
Thank
you
both
so
much
for
all
your
hard
work,
as
well
as
the
staff
that
were
mentioned.
I'm
grateful
that
I
had
the
opportunity
to
be
able
to
be
involved
with
this
work
and
proud
of
the
continued
work
that
we
have
accomplished
on
behalf
of
and
with
workers
in
our
city.
Thank
you.

A
That
carries
and
will
be
forwarded
to
the
council
for
final
approval
next
friday.
So
a
week
from
tomorrow,
we
do
have
a
special
counsel
meeting
tomorrow,
just
specific
to
the
budget.
That
concludes
the
public
hearings
for
this
meeting.
So
we
will
move
to
the
consent
agenda.
We
have
44
items
on
the
consent
agenda
today.
Of
course,
colleagues
can
pull
any

off
for
comment
or
discussion
as
they
wish.
A
These

shown
as
items

through

the
printed

and
I
will
read
them

So
we

meeting,
this
item
is
before
the
charter

right
now
still-
and
this
is
a
placeholder

A
A
A
T
B
T
B
J
I
A
That
carries
and
the
consent
agenda
is
adopted.
That
brings
us
to
our
discussion
items
which
we
have
a
number
of
today.
The
first
item
is
number
47
on
the
agenda
and
that's
considering
an
amendment
to
the
city's
2020
consolidated
action
plan
for
covert
19,
emergency
solutions,
grant
supplemental
funding
and
I
believe,
we'll
have
angie
skildon
from
cpad
to
present
this
item.
U
Madam
president,
it's
actually
andrea
brennan,
perfect,
we'll
be
presenting
this
item,
so
I
believe
this
is
the
presentation.
Let's
see,
I
think
that
there's
a
presentation
that
should
be
up.
A
Yes,
thank
you,
mr
clerk.
This
this
was
a
presentation
listed
under
item
47
or
madam
clerk,
which
gives
a
little
overview
of
a
number
of
the
items
on
today's
agenda.
U
I'm
this
presentation
is
going
to
briefly
touch
on
how
our
homeless
response
strategy
fits
into
our
broader
housing
city
housing
strategy
and
then
talk
about
our
homeless
response
strategy
hit
on
our
some
eviction,
protect
prevention,
work
policy,
regulation
and
then
just
name.
The
three
proposed
actions
that
that
are
following
next.
U
This
is
the
minneapolis,
affordable,
housing
continuum
slide.
It
is
hard
to
read,
so
I'm
not
going
to
go
through
this
in
detail,
but
you
can
see
at
the
top
of
the
slide
there
is.
It
can
show,
there's
a
link
to
where
you
can
find
this.
This
is
part
of
the
way
home,
safe,
dignified
and
affordable
housing
for
minneapolis
residents
report
that
was
received
and
filed
earlier
this
year.
I
want
to
call
attention
to
the
the
the
for
the
second
row,
which
is
the
city
housing
strategy.
U
There
are
seven
bars
that
go
across
the
income
continuum
and
the
the
sixth
one
down
to
the
bottom
is
preventative
and
homelessness.
The
other
the
other
ones
are
from
the
top
going
down,
are
increasing
housing,
supply
diversity
and
affordability
in
all
neighborhoods.
The
second
strategy
produce
more
affordable
rental
housing
and
preserve
existing
subsidized,
affordable
rental
housing.
U
The
third
is
preserve,
naturally
occurring
affordable
housing.
The
fourth
is
improve
and
sustain
access
for
home
ownership,
especially
among
low-income
black
indigenous
people
of
color
and
immigrant
communities.
Five
is
support.
Renters
six
I
mentioned,
prevent
and
end
homelessness
and
seven
is
to
maximize
potential
publicly
owned
land
to
meet
city
housing
goals.
Next
slide,
please.
U
The
city
specifically
funds
street
outreach,
rapid
rehousing
and
shelter
improvements
through
a
mix
of
federal
emergency
solutions
or
esg
grants
from
from
the
federal
government
and
as
well
as
city
general
fund
dollars.
U
U
Specifically
in
response
to
the
covet
19
pandemic,
the
city
and
county
have
worked
closely
on
on
responding
and
and
protecting
persons
who
are
experiencing
unsheltered
homelessness.
U
More
than
the
county
has
proactively
worked
since
the
very
beginning
of
of
the
covet
19
pandemic
to
secure
hotel
rooms
for
people
experiencing
homelessness,
including
507,
protective
hotel
rooms
and
99
isolation.
Hotel
rooms
for
people
who
are
symptomatic
or
who
have
tested
positive
for
covet,
19.
U
U
We
are
working
to
expand
street
outreach
support
that
is
available
by
adding
another
contracted
provider
and
I'm
happy
to
report
that
we
just
entered
into
that
contract
today,
with
avivo
in
the
amount
of
200
000
from
federal
esg
funds
to
begin
service
to
reach
out
to
people
who
are
experiencing
unsheltered
homelessness.
Next.
U
In
addition
to
the
actions
we've
taken
in
partnership
with
the
county
since
the
beginning
of
covet
19,
we
are
also
working
to
advance
the
new
wave
of
esg
funding
that
that
the
city
is
receiving
so
we'll
propose-
and
this
is
the
subject
of
two
two
more
items
from
now.
You'll
hear
a
lot
more
about
this.
U
But
next
steps
in
our
homelessness
response
are
to
make
recommendations
to
fund
directly
three
three
shelters:
women's
shelter,
medical
respite
for
for
medically
fragile
persons,
experiencing
homelessness
and
culturally
specific
shelter
for
specifically
targeted
to
meeting
the
the
needs
of
native
american
population.
U
In
addition
to
the
proposals
which
you
are
considering
today
for
these
direct
shelters,
the
city
and
the
county
have
also
jointly
issued
a
request
for
proposals
for
the
remaining
esg
funds
that
the
city
and
the
county
have
available,
and
those
proposals
are
due
on
friday,
so
they're
due
tomorrow.
U
We
have
a
really
tight
turnaround
time
where
we're
the
city
and
the
county
will
be
reviewing
those
proposals
and
hopefully
making
recommendations
for
awards
within
a
week
or
two
so
that
if
there
are
proposals
that
are
out
there
among
providers
nonprofit
organizations,
community
organizations
that
are
ready
to
go
that
were
able
to
provide
support
for
them
and
get
them
going
as
soon
as
possible.
U
As
we
all
know,
there
is
currently
an
eviction
moratorium
in
the
state
that
is
now
extended
through
mid-august.
It
is
expected
to
extend
throughout
the
peacetime
emergency.
There
will
be
new
rules
related
to
the
eviction
moratorium.
That
will
kick
in
on
august
4th
the
the
good
news,
and
that
is
that
there
there
is
an
indication
of
of
a
willingness
to
or
well
the
the
revised
eviction
moratorium
was
changed
to
allow
for
some
evictions.
In
some
cases
where
there's
been
damage,
for
example
caused.
U
But
in
those
cases
there
is
a
requirement
that
landlords
provide
a
seven
day
notice
before
an
eviction
can
be
filed.
So
pre-filing
notice
requirement
is,
is
part
of
the
revised
executive
order
and
we
are
hopeful
that
when,
when
the
eviction
ban
is
ultimately
lifted,
that
there
be
that
pre-filing
notice
component
there
that
that
carries
forward
the.
So,
in
addition
to
the
eviction
moratorium,
the
the
city
has
provided
three
million
dollars
in
emergency
housing
assistance.
U
We
are
no
longer
accepting
applications
for
for
those
programs
we're
working
through
and
making
those
awards,
but
hennepin
county
is
currently
taking
applications
of
for
emergency
housing
assistance,
and
this
can
be
for
both
rent
and
mortgage
payments.
They
have
15
million
available
and
you
can
see
the
link
there
on
how
to
how
to
apply
for
those
funds.
This
information
is
also
linked
on
the
city's
webpage
on
our
coronavirus,
high
ris
housing
page.
U
In
addition,
the
state
has
announced
that
through
minnesota
housing
that
they
will
be
making
100
million
available
up
to
statewide
and
once
we
know
who
the
providers
of
those
resources
are,
we
will
make
sure
that
that
information
is
also
on
our
website.
U
U
The
solution
to
homelessness
is
housing.
The
city
has
significantly
increased
investment
in
deeply
affordable
housing.
Over
the
last
couple
of
years,
we
have
110
units
that
are
coming
online
between
now
and
february,
2021
that
are
specifically
designated
for
people
who
are
experiencing
homelessness
through
the
hennepin
county,
coordinated
entry
process.
U
In
addition
to
that,
between
now
and
the
end
of
2020,
we
are
expecting
to
close
on
the
financing
of
290
new
units
that
would
be
designated
for
persons
experiencing
homelessness
and
all
of
these
all
of
these
units
that
that
we're
funding
are
in
partnership
with
the
city,
the
county,
the
state,
minnesota
housing,
as
well
as
minneapolis
public
housing
authority
and
their
willingness
to
project-based
ongoing
rental
subsidy
has
been
really
a
critical
factor
in
our
ability
to
expand
the
number
of
permanent
housing
units
we
can
make
available
for
extremely
low
income
households
experiencing
homelessness.
U
Another
example
is
the
hennepin
county,
affordable
housing
incentive
funds
award,
which
was
approved
just
earlier
on
the
consent
agenda,
and
also
wanted
to
note
that
we
we
have
an
rfp
out
for
our
affordable
housing,
trust
fund
and
our
new
low
barrier
housing
initiative
and
those
proposals
are
due
on
july
31st
next
slide.
Please
addition.
U
I
think
it's
important
to
understand
in
the
broad
context
of
our
overall
response,
that
there's
a
policy
component
council
members,
gordon
schrader
and
goodman,
introduce
subject
matter
to
to
open
up
the
and
and
expand
the
regulatory
path
for
single
room
occupancy
units.
Sro
type
units
is
a
really
critical
element
of
our
housing
continuum
that
is,
is
currently
missing
outside
of
narrowly
defined
permanent,
supportive
housing
type
projects,
so
that
work
will
be
underway.
U
The
renter
protection
ordinance
that
the
council
approved
last
year
just
went
into
effect
on
june
1st
expanding
more
access
to
affordable
housing
to
folks,
and
then
also
just
wanted
to
note
that
for
a
number
of
years
now,
the
city
has
had
more
flexibility
in
its
zoning
and
code
for
where
shelters
can
be
located
throughout
the
city,
as
well
as
recent
zoning
code
change
to
allow
for
more
cluster
development
in
in
intentional
community.
U
So
today's
actions
that
we're
going
to
go
into
next
are
these
three.
So
one
to
a
amendments
to
hud's
consolidated
plan
for
esg
funding,
that's
emergency
solutions.
Grant
funding,
that's
specifically
allocated
through
federal,
cares
act.
Funds
for
covet
19,
related
response.
Matt
bauer
is
going
to
walk
you
through
that.
U
The
second
item
is
requesting
approval
of
esg
funding
specifically
to
fund
three
shelters.
Tiffin
glasper
is
going
to
walk
through
that
that
item
and
then
back
to
me
for
an
amendment
to
the
hud
consolidated
plan
for
community
development,
block
grant
covid
19
funds
to
expand
legal
services.
U
So
with
that,
I
will
turn
it
over
to
matt
bauer
to
to
address
item
number
47
on
the
agenda.
A
W
Good
afternoon,
council,
president
bender
and
members
of
the
committee,
the
first
item
here
is
to
amend
our
current
2020
action
plan
to
receive
these
coved
19
emergency
emergency
solutions
grant
round
two
supplemental
funds,
specifically
staff,
is
requesting.
The
city
council
authorize
an
amendment
to
the
plan
to
receive
these
funds,
approve
staff
recommended
budget
priority
allocations
and
strategies
for
inclusion
in
the
amendment
and
I'll
outline.
These
allocations
in
a
moment
accepting
a
forthcoming
round
two
grant
from
hud
for
these
funds
and
also
authorizing
a
grant
agreement
to
receive
the
amount
of
funds.
W
Last
month,
hud
informed
the
city
that
it
was
to
receive
a
second
allocation
of
covet
19
emergency
solutions
grant
funding
provided
under
the
cares
act
again.
The
amount
of
this
second
allocation
is
9.7
million.
This
is
in
addition
to
the
3.3
million
we
received
in
round
one
that
the
council
acted
upon
back
in
june.
W
The
report
before
you
outlines
the
use
of
how
staff
recommends
that
the
esg2
funds
be
described
in
the
proposed
amendment
to
go
to
hud
this.
These,
the
use
of
these
funds
will
be
outlined
in
the
amendment
to
demonstrate
how
local
response
homelessness
response
priorities
are
going
to
be
addressed
with
these
dollars.
W
Since
the
announcement
of
the
second
allocation,
the
city
and
county
staff
have
met
to
review
how
these
funds
could
provide
an
opportunity
both
to
to
strategically
respond
to
coven
19
related
issues
facing
those
with
homeless,
facing
homelessness
in
our
community
and
also
as
well
to
reshape
the
local
homelessness
response
system
in
a
way
that
could
result
could
result
in
measurable
decreases
in
homelessness
by
building
out
a
fuller
array
of
housing
interventions.
W
Next,
as
ms
brennan
mentioned
in
her
presentation
that
joe
the
city
and
the
county
have
a
joint
rfp
out.
Currently,
we
anticipate
awarding
up
to
approximately
four
million
dollars
for
those
through
that
process
for
an
array
of
eligible
activities
under
the
emergency
solutions
grant,
it
could
be
rapid
rehousing.
It
may
be
shelter
diversion
efforts
as
well
as
shelter
operating
dollars,
shelter,
renovation
dollars
as
well
as
well
as
street
outreach
responses.
W
Staff
is
requesting
that
to
support
the
agencies
that
will
be
receiving
these
funds
in
reporting
to
hud
on
their
accomplishments
that
an
award
of
forty
eight
thousand
dollars
be
made
to
the
institute
for
community
alliances
to
support
the
administration
of
the
of
hud's
homeless
management
information
system,
and
then
we
are
also
requesting
a
reservation
of
up
to
the
allowed
amount
of
10
percent
of
the
grant
for
any
future
identified.
W
Administrative
costs
that
the
city
may
incur
with
management
of
this
grant,
but
that
will
only
be
considered
after
we
review
what
has
come
through
the
the
rfp
process.
W
Finally,
we
as
staff
are
recommending
that
the
amendment
revise
the
city's
current
position
on
funding
of
operations
and
emergency
shelters
for
purposes
of
the
covid
related
emergency
solutions.
Grant.
Funding
staff
is
recommending
that
the
city
provide
operating
funds
for
emergency
shelters
as
a
permitted
use
of
these
funds,
effective
with
the
date
of
the
amendment
that
will
be
submitting
to
hud
through
the
period
of
performance
associated
with
these
funds.
W
This
temporary
policy
flexibility
with
emergency
management
or
emergency
shelter
operations
will
allow
for
a
new,
culturally
specific
emergency
shelter
to
come
online
later
this
year
and
that
will
be
brought
up
in
the
forthcoming
request
for
council
action
from
ms
glasper,
and
with
that
I.
W
That
concludes
my
presentation,
and
if
you
have
any
questions,
I
will
try
to
answer
them
or
ms
brennan
is
here
as
well.

Thank
you.
That

that
will
bring
us
to
item
number
48,
which
is
related
also
related
to
the
2020
emergency
solutions,
grant
supplemental

for
this
I

So
much
council

and
members
of
the

My
name
is
tiffany

I
am
a
senior
project
coordinator
in
the
residential
finance
division
at
cped,
as
matt
bauer
described
at
his
previous
item.
We
have
additional
cares,
act,
emergency
solutions,
grant
resources.
X
X
First,
the
gordon
center
project
is
proposed
as
an
emergency
shelter
for
individuals
identifying
as
female
experiencing
homelessness
and
will
be
located
at
2220
16th
avenue
north
in
the
willard
hay
neighborhood
of
north
minneapolis.
The
building
is
currently
a
vacant
school.
The
building
contains
approximately
25
000
square
feet
and
will
be
renovated
to
accommodate
a
30
bed.
Women's
emergency
shelter
facility,
with
the
capability
of
expanding
to
50
beds.
X
The
building
is
currently
owned
by
the
minneapolis
public
school
district
and
will
be
sold
to
hennepin
county
for
this
proposed
use.
The
county
has
secured
ongoing
operating
support
for
the
project
in
the
amount
of
400
thousand
dollars
per
year,
and
county
staff
is
also
working
to
select
an
experienced
shelter
provider
to
operate
the
facility.
X
It
is
anticipated
that
the
project
will
begin
construction
early.
This
fall
with
expected
occupancy
beginning
in
february
of
next
year.
The
gordon
center
project
is
a
direct
response
to
an
identified
gap
in
our
shelter
system
for
women
and
staff.
We're
recommending
a
total
of
up
to
four
and
a
half
million
in
cares
act.
Esg
funding
to
support
this
important
project.
X
X
X
The
project
also
includes
an
additional
six
units
of
transitional
housing
for
homeless
veterans
and,
as
the
subject
of
this
report,
30
medical
respite,
shelter
beds,
these
medical
respite,
shelter
beds
and
the
services
accompanying
them
will
serve
a
vital
role
in
the
community's
response
to
cope
to
the
covet
19
pandemic
by
assisting
individuals
being
discharged
from
hospitals
who
do
not
have
access
to
stable
housing.
X
The
exodus
2.0
project
is
expected
to
be
operational
by
fall
of
2021
homeless.
Individuals,
exiting
hospitals
due
to
covert
19,
diagnoses
or
other
without

without
a
safe,
stable
place
to

are
especially
high
risk
for
covid19
infection
or
currently
medically
unknown.
Reinfection

and
staff
is
recommending
approval
of
up
to
two
million
dollars
in
cares.
Act.
Esg
funding
to
support
this
project.
X
X
In
this
particular
instance,
hennepin
county
is
providing
the
capital
needed
to
purchase
and
renovate
the
buildings,
and
the
city
is
proposing
to
provide
approximately
half
of
the
necessary
operating
funds
through
september
of
2010
september
of
2022,
which
is
also
the
spending
deadline
for
the
kova
dsg
money.
X
X
The
balance
of
the
necessary
operating
funds
is
committed
from
the
state
of
minnesota
to
emphasize
what
matt
stated
earlier
and
what
I've
just
explained.
The
city's
participation
via
operating
support
is
a
temporary
allowance
under
covet
and
not
a
permanent
shift.
The
city
will
enter
into
an
agreement
with
the
county
for
the
administration
and
monitoring
of
the
operating
funding.
X
This
project
fills
another
identified
gap
in
our
shelter
system
and
helps
address
the
disproportionate
representation
of
native
americans
in
the
unsheltered
homeless
population
and
the
disproportionate
representation
of
native
americans
in
local
19
cases.
The
aicdc
emergency
shelter
is
expected
to
be
open
late
this
year
and
staff
is
recommending
up
to
one
million
eight
hundred
and
fourteen
thousand
dollars
to
support
operations.
As
described
with
that,
I
will
conclude
my
presentation
and
I'm
happy
to
take
any
questions.
Anybody
has.
A
D
I
did
have
one
question
and
I'm
also
happy
to
move
these
forward.
I
think
this
is
significant
and
we're
fortunate
to
have
this
kind
of
funding,
so
we
can
help
these
projects.
One
question
is:
how
soon
do
we
expect
the
american
indian
community
development
corporations
project
over
on
franklin
to
open?
Maybe
you
said
it
and
I
missed
it.
Sound
was
breaking
up
a
little
bit.
X
D
Okay,
great,
I
was
also
curious
about
the
gordon
center
project,
so
is
hennepin
county
going
to
take
over
ownership
of
the
entire
building
and
it
and
do
you
know
how
much
of
the
building
will
be
used
by
the
shelter?
I
understand
it's
fairly
large.
X
D
And
I
I
feel
like
I
should
know
how
many
floors
it
is,
but
it's
more
than
two
floors.
Then
I.
X
Should
know
the
answer
to
that
to
council
member,
I'm
sorry,
I
don't
recall,
I
don't
recall,
I
believe
it.
I
believe
it
is
only
two
stories,
and
I
know
that
the
first
story
is
is
the
first
focus
and
then
the
second
story
would
be
coming
later.
D
Okay-
and
I
can
certainly
look
up
the
report-
I
also
see
somebody
entered
in
the
chat
that
it
is
two
floors
two
people
have
so
they
seem
to.
That
seems
to
be
the
understanding
all
right.
I
appreciate
that
and
I
appreciate
you
moving
forward
with
these
as
quickly
as
you
have
and
you
and
your
team
and
I'm
happy
to
move
approval
of
this
item.
A
And
you
know,
while
we
see
this
crisis
of
housing
and
the
pandemic
and
the
economic
crisis,
all
con
convening
together
and
looming,
perhaps
even
worse
as
resources
become
less
available
from
the
federal
government
or
you
know
when
the
eviction
moratorium
may
lift.
A
So
it's
so
good
to
see
these
projects
finally
come
to
fruition
after
years
of
planning
for
each
of
them
and
such
needed
beds
in
our
shelter
system.
Any
further
comment
on
these
items.
Y
M
I
A
U
Great
thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
committee,
again,
I'm
andrea
brennan,
interim
director
of
community
planning
and
economic
development
department.
This
item
includes
several
actions.
I'm
going
to
just
quickly
address
the
procedural
aspects
of
the
actions
first
and
then
get
more
into
the
substance
of
it.
The
city
received
approximately
6.8
million
in
community
development,
block
grant
or
cdbg
covid
19
related
funds.
As
part
of
the
federal
cares
act,
the
council
previously
approved
an
action
plan
for
these
funds.
U
Earlier
this
year.
The
action
plan
included
up
to
four
million
dollars
for
homelessness
response.
Since
the
approval
of
the
action
plan
by
the
council,
we
were
notified
of
the
additional
wave
of
9.7
million
of
emergency
solutions.
Grant
coveted
19
related
funds
also,
as
part
of
federal,
cares
act
funds
so
that-
and
we
just
went
through
this
on
the
last
item-
that
allowed
us
to
consider
the
use
of
cdbg
funds
of
that
up
to
four
million
dollars
for
other
other
items
that
were
more
related
to
homelessness
prevention
or
eviction
prevention.
U
Since
we
have
the
esg
funding
that
can
focus
entirely
on
addressing
the
needs
of
persons
who
are
experiencing
homelessness,
so
the
so
I'm
gonna
shift
to
the
procedural
requirements
here
are
that,
in
order
for
this
action
to
happen,
the
the
cdbg
action
plan
needs
to
be
amended
to
allow
for
reprogramming
of
a
portion
of
the
4
million.
U
That's
allocated
for
homelessness
response
to
to
the
item
that
is
eviction,
prevention
and
housing,
stabilization
services,
so
that
has
to
happen,
along
with
directing
staff,
to
seek
public
comment
or
receive
public
comment
and
then
submit
the
amended
action
plan
to
hud
for
approval.
U
So
the
substance
of
this,
what
we're
we're
asking
today
and
recommending
is,
is
for
expanding
legal
services
to
to
serve
low-income,
minneapolis,
renters,
primarily
renters,
who
may
be
facing
either
eviction
or
habitability
issues
that
may
that
could,
if
they
were
not
addressed,
result
in
displacement.
U
U
The
city
also
has
worked
more
informally
with
with
private
firms
on
the
more
more
representation
minneapolis
initiative
to
bring
more
private
firms
in
in
the
fold
of
providing
pro
bono
or
pro
bono
services
to
also
increase
capacity.
U
The
proposal
before
you
today
is
to
use
one
up
to
1.2
million
dollars
of
the
federal
cdbg
covet
19
related
funds
to
to
support
a
new
contract
with
minnesota
legal
aid.
U
U
As
we
know,
we're
facing
a
very
constrained
budget
environment
right
now
and
normally
funding
for
the
service
would
come
from
general
fund
and
that's
really
something
that
is
in
short
supply
these
days.
The
third
thing
that
it
does
is
that
it
continues
support
for
legal
services
dedicated
full-time
to
the
tenant
resource
center.
U
Just
to
note
here
is
that
this
1.2
million
of
of
of
funding
would
in
essence
replace
the
existing
contracts
that
we
currently
have
with
mid
business
or
legal
aid
and
those
contracts
currently
total
total
approximately
five
hundred
thousand
dollars.
So
the
net
increase
to
legal
to
legal
aid
to
continue
these
services
address.
The
the
surge
in
evictions
expected
as
part
of
the
the
moratorium
lifted
and
extend
through
2021
is
an
initial
additional
seven
hundred
thousand
dollars
with
so
a
couple
of
other
points.
U
I
just
wanted
to
make
about
the
broader,
broader
system
here,
legal
services,
there
are
one
part
of
a
broader
system.
I
wanted
to
mention
a
couple
of
other
pieces
of
work
that
I
think
are
really
important
that
are
happening
in
the
space
right
now.
U
One
is
what
I
mentioned
earlier
is
that
the
the
governor's
executive
order
did
introduce
this
idea
of
a
seven-day
notice,
pre-filing
notice,
which
I
think
is
really
important
and
is
something
that
you
know
legislatively,
would
be
very
helpful
if
that
were
extended
to
apply
to
all
evictions
and
was
longer
than
seven
days.
U
But
the
introduction
of
that
is
is
helpful
because
it
does
apply.
It
does
allow
for
some
period
of
time.
Then
you
know
for
for
folks
who
are
facing
that
situation
to
get
access
to
services.
U
Second,
I
wanted
to
just
note
that
hennepin
county,
just
last
week
approved
a
1.2
million
of
their
federal
cares
act
funds
to
establish
a
housing,
affordable,
housing,
stabilization
fund
and
this
fund
allows
for
proactive
outreach
to
households
who
are
facing
eviction
to
make
sure
that
they
get
connected
to
emergency
housing
assistance.
U
That's
available,
as
I
mentioned
previously
in
the
broader
overview
hennepin
county
has
more,
has
15
million
available
in
emergency
housing
assistance
and
the
state
just
announced
another
100
million
of
housing
assistance
available
statewide,
so
making
sure
that
we
have
folks
who
are
working
proactively
to
help
connect.
People
with
these
kinds
of
resources
is
really
critical.
U
So
I
think
that's
an
important
part
of
of
the
broader
context,
and
then
I
would
also
if,
if,
if
the
chair
allows
luke
grundman
from
minnesota
legal
aid,
I
believe
is
on
this
call
and
legal
aid
has
been
doing
significant
work
in
working
with
the
courts
on
changing
the
way
that
evictions
are
done,
and
so,
if
it
pleases
the
chair,
if,
if
luke
could
have
a
few
minutes
to
just
very
briefly
describe
that
work,
I
think
that
would
be
helpful
for
context
here.
T
T
T
We
since
covet,
took
place
immediately
started
working
with
the
court
system
to
figure
out.
How
can
how
can
the
processing
of
cases
happen
in
a
safer
way,
and
it's
not
just
evictions.
We've
also
had
to
file
rent
escrow
actions,
emergency
actions,
lockout
cases
by
landlords
have
increased
in
in
the
during
the
pandemic
period.
T
So
there's
a
need
for
court
to
still
exist
and
we
want
to
make
that
as
safe
as
possible,
so
the
courts
have
already
agreed,
even
today,
just
issued
a
standing
order
that
will
make
things
significantly
better,
including
not
having
cases
scheduled
to
be
heard
at
the
same
time,
but
instead
have
cases
each
receive
their
own
time.
Slot
to
have
tenants
have
the
opportunity
to
appear
by
phone
or
by
zoom,
but
they
don't
have
to
go
to
the
courthouse
and
at
legal
aid.
T
T
T
There's
a
lot
to
allow
every
tenant
to
request
to
lawyer
to
get
an
automatic
weak
extension
before
their
cases
is
really
heard.
That'll
give
us
the
opportunity
to
to
meet
with
them
to
talk
with
them,
negotiate
with
the
landlord
in
a
lot
of
cases
to
get
things
resolved
or
and,
if
necessary,
to
at
least
understand
their
case
and
their
legal
defenses
better.
If
their
case
does
need
to
get
to
go
to
trial.
T
A
Thank
you
to
you
both.
Are
there
any
questions
from
council
members
on
the
presentation
on
this
item
and
I
do
also
have
a
staff
direction
which
I
emailed
last
night
with
a
small
correction,
just
as
this
meeting
was
beginning
but
I'll
see.
If
my
colleagues
have
any
questions
before
moving
that
forward,.
A
You
so,
as
director
brennan
noted,
we
did
shift
the
source
of
some
of
the
legal
services
funding
from
general
fund
to
this
federal
source,
and
you
know
I
appreciate
very
much
the
the
strategy
of
making
sure
the
funding
is
available
for
this
longer
period
of
time.
A
Last
year,
council
members,
cunningham
and
goodman
and
others
have
worked
on
other
protection,
renter
protections,
and
you
know,
I
think,
actually
every
council,
member
on
the
body
has
had
one
thing
or
another
to
do
with
protecting
renters
in
minneapolis.
But
this
is
sort
of
a
soft
start
to
some
additional
work.
A
This
is
the
older
version.
The
newer
version
would
say
a
a
written
notification
of
eviction,
requirement,
eviction,
moratorium
or
other
eviction,
limitations
and
other
eviction
prevention
models
and
supports.
So
I
did
email
that
newer
version
around
it's
a
small
change,
but
it
just
uses
more
common
language
to
describe
what's
called
pay
or
quit
in
this
version.
So
I
post,
I
posted
the
new
version
and
I'd
like
to
move
that
that
one
forward,
so
I
will
go
ahead
and
move
both
the
item
and
the
staff
direction.
R
Thank
you,
president
bender.
I
just
wanted
to
thank
you
for
moving
this
forward.
I
think
it's
really
important
work.
I
was
just
on
a
phone
call
yesterday
with
a
constituent
who
is
really
benefiting
from
the
advice
that
we
do
support
and
I
think
expanding
that
and
really
making
sure
that
everybody
has
representation
in
court
and
that
we're
protecting
people
from
eviction
is
just
incredibly
important
work
and
I'm
grateful
that
you
have
kept
it
moving.
R
I
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
I
just
I
I
I
agree
with
everyone
that
this
is
really
important
work
and
trying
to
help
keep
people
out
of
evictions,
or
at
least
helping
them
through
that
process
is,
is
really
critical,
but
I'm
just
trying
to
get
clarity
is,
is
the
1.2
million
for
the
legal
aid
and
the
tenant
resource
center,
or
is
that.
U
I
can
answer
that,
madam
chair
council.
Vice
president,
the
one
that
up
to
1.2
million
does
include
both
legal
services
as
well
as
support
for
the
tenant
resource
center.
U
U
So
the
the
the
funds
that
will
be
part
of
the
1.2
million
will
continue
allow
for
the
continued
support
of
a
designated
full-time
attorney
who
can
be
assigned
to
the
tenant
resource
center
again
to
support
that
model
that
really
centers
the
experience
of
of
renters
in
in
getting
faster
access
to
the
resources
that
they
need
when
they
are
facing
displacement
or
eviction.
I
F
A
You
know,
I
think
I'll
just
add
at
the
end
here
of
these
items,
that
you
know
we're
receiving
hundreds
of
comments,
rightfully
about
our
neighbors,
who
are
living
in
parks
and
other
spaces
of
land
and
tents
in
our
city,
and
it's
of
course
heartbreaking
to
see
so
many
neighbors
experiencing
unsheltered
homelessness,
and
I
think
especially
for
folks
who
may
not
have
known
the
extent
of
the
homelessness
issue
in
our
city
and
in
our
region.
A
I
think
there
is
a
desire
for
one
big
solution
to
come
forward
and
what
I
have
said
to
my
constituents
who
contacted
us
that
actually,
the
work
really
relies
on
us
supporting
each
person
and
each
family
with
the
circumstances
they
are
in,
and
that
differs
from
person
to
person
from
family
to
family,
and
what
we
really
need
is
a
full
continuum
of
resources
and
strategies
that
recognize
everything
from
keeping
people
into
their
in
their
homes,
that
they
are
making
sure
those
homes
are
safe
and
well
maintained.
A
You
know:
building
and
preserving
affordable
housing
partnering
with
all
of
the
service
providers
who
are
doing
that
work.
You
know
from
helping
get
people
into
homes,
to
staying
in
homes
and
preventing
eviction
and
and
and
then
also
so
many
other
related
services,
and
so
I
think,
all
of
the
work
that
we've
heard
they
feel
in
this
context,
especially
virtually
a
little
disconnected,
but
it
is
so
deeply
connected
to
the
day-to-day
lives
of
our
constituents
who
are
facing
eviction
who
are
facing
housing
instability
who
are
living
in
tents.
A
There
are
great
partnerships
from
leaders
in
saint
paul
and
the
suburban
communities
around
us
who
are
facing
very
similar
conditions
and
also
leadership
from
communities
in
greater
minnesota
who
have
housing
instability
in
in
communities
across
minnesota
too.
So
I
just
wanted
to
note
that,
because
again
I
feel
like,
sometimes
especially
in
a
zoom
context.
A
These
policy
decisions
are
funny,
decisions
feel
disconnected,
but
I
think
they
are
so
related
to
the
work
that
we
are
doing
to
keep
people
housed
and
to
connect
people
with
housing
so
that
everyone
in
our
community
is
safely
and
stably
housed.
So,
thanks
for
everyone
for
all
of
their
work,
they
don't
see
anyone
else
wanting
to
speak
so
I'll.
Ask
the
clerk
to
please
call
the
role
in
item

councilmember.

A
That
carries
and
that
item
is
adopted
next
is
item
50,
which
is
a
report
about
the
aquifer
thermal
energy
storage
system
in
the
towerside
innovation
district,
which
includes
some
additional
directions
and
a
full
report
on
this
project.
So
eric
hanson
from
cped
is
here
to
provide
that
staff
report.
Welcome
mr
hanson.
Z
Z
The
subject
of
the
report
is
to
get
the
direction
specifically
to
spend
up
to
twenty
thousand
dollars
with
the
city's
municipal
advisor
ellers
to
complete
a
full
estimate
of
the
costs
and
the
bond
underwriting
and
legal
expenses
based
on
eller's
experience
refinancing.
The
st
paul
district
energy
system
expects
that
these
costs
for
full
underwriting
and
legal
expenses
will
at
least
exceed
one
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
range
to
potentially
a
quarter
of
a
million
next
slide.
Z
Please
towerside
innovation
district
was
established
by
the
city
council
in
2015
and
later
codified
into
policy
98
the
minneapolis
2040
plan.
It
is
an
area
east
of
the
university
of
minnesota
in
the
prospect
park.
Neighborhood
innovation
districts
are
increasingly
common
tools
and
cities
to
use
to
spur
and
facilitate
growth
and
coordinated
district
approaches
to
storm
water,
energy
parking
place,
making
green
space
and
waste
management,
and
it
utilizes
partnerships
between
higher
education
institutions,
businesses
and
governments
to
fuel
job
growth
and
redevelopment
next
slide.
Please.
Z
The
image
in
front
of
you
depicts
the
tower
side
area
university
avenue
will
bisect
this
area
right
down
the
middle
in
a
diagonal
fashion
from
the
upper
left
to
the
lower
right,
the
polygons
in
the
red
box
depicts
that
the
areas
of
development
and
the
location
of
the
ates
for
subject
of
the
support
and
it's
a
proposed
of
850
000
square
feet
of
development
that
would
use
the
system
next
slide.
Z
Please
an
aquifer
thermal
energy
storage
system
is
a
geothermal
technology
that
transfers
heating
and
cooling
energy
from
a
series
of
wells
and
piping
systems
into
a
building.
What
that
means
is
it
draws
water
from
the
aquifer
below
the
ground
through
a
series
of
pipes
and
pushes
that
energy
into
buildings
and
then
the
heat
that
is
drawn
off
of
the
water
and
the
in
the
energy
from
that
it
produces
heating
and
cooling
for
the
area
system.
So
it's
a
closed
loop
energy
system.
Z
It's
been
used
over
a
thousand
times
in
europe.
This
would
be
the
first
one
in
the
united
states,
and
the
advantage
to
this
system
is
to
remove
the
dependence
on
natural
gas
and
the
natural
gas
consumption,
and
it
also
replaces
magic
pack,
which
is
a
greenhouse
emitting
individual
heating
and
cooling
element
for
most
in
most
multi-family
developments
that
occur
now
next
slide.
Please.
Z
Z
It
has
typically
been
used.
It
is
typically
been
used
for
manufacturing
and
it
is
purchased
and
for
commercial,
non-profit
developments
and
people.
An
institution
purchase
these
bonds
in
the
open
market
to
provide
cash
to
complete
projects
and
ates
is
an
eligible
use,
but
you'll
see
later
in
the
presentation
that
it's
not
a
conventional
use.
Next
slide,
the
funding
that
has
been
requested
is
up
to
22
million
dollars.
Z
The
a
tes
system
is
in
a
scalable
system,
so
the
system
would
be
built
over
time
as
development
occurs,
starting
with
a
4.5,
a
4.5
million
dollar
draw
on
the
bonds
as
soon
as
they're,
ready
to
go
and
and
for
for
the
first
phase
of
three
buildings
that
would
be
about
14
million
dollars.
So
it's
the
first
three
years
so
that
series
zero
in
the
in
the
year
zero
year,
two
and
year,
three.
Z
The
final
phases
would
accommodate
the
expansion
of
the
system
for
phase
two,
and
the
22
million
dollars
would
cover
the
construction
of
the
system
and
the
improvements
in
the
private
buildings
to
accommodate
that
system.
Next
slide.
Please.
Z
Evergreen
is
an
operator
in
subsidiary
of
the
district
energy
in
st
paul,
and
it's
been
operating
district
energy
in
saint
paul
since
the
middle
1980s
and
has
qualified
and
a
proven
track
record
of
operating,
running
and
operating
district
energy
systems,
and
then
finally,
wall
companies
would
be
the
develop
they're.
The
owners
of
the
land
around
the
area
and
they'd
be
the
developer
of
the
malcolm
yards
developments
in
those
two
phases
and
those
would
be
the
users
of
the
systems
next
slide.
Please.
Z
Because
this
would
be
the
revenue
source
that
would
pay
back
the
bonds
that
would
be
issued
in
the
first
phase,
we
have
two
housing
buildings
and
then
an
office
building,
the
malcolm
yards
mixed-use
building,
which
is
that
143
year
unit
market
rate
building
is
waiting
for
city
direction
on
whether
to
redesign
the
building
in
order
to
support
it.
At
this
point,
it's
designed
to
accept
the
magic
packs
and
if
the
city
were
to
move
forward
with
with
this
direction,
they
would
redesign
the
building
to
potentially
accommodate
the
system
and
it's
financed
totally
through
private
sources.
Z
The
three
buildings
listed
in
phase
two
are
all
aspirational
projects
at
this
point
in
time
with
you
know
more,
not
more
than
what
we
see
here
is
as
identified
use,
but
the
development
in
the
area
being
next
to
the
university
of
minnesota,
along
the
green
line
in
between
minneapolis
and
st
paul.
Z
The
tes,
if
both
phases
are
fully
up
operational
and
developed,
would
remove
up
to
500
000
tons
of
carbon
and
that's
based
on
the
city
sets
cost
of
social
carbon
would
save
about
21
million
over
the
30-year
lifespan
of
the
system
so
approximate
to
the
cost
of
the
of
the
system.
Z
This
is
an
unconventional
project
for
the
common
bond
funds.
The
common
bond
fund
typically
provides
investment
great
or
per
the
common
bond
fund,
provides
investment
grade
so
grade
a
or
a
plus
revenue
bond
financing,
at
low
interest
rates
for
long
terms,
and
typically
for
manufacturers
that
have
been
established
and
are
growing.
Z
This
proposed
deal
does
not
follow
the
funding
decision
convention
and
that's
why
we're
talking
to
you
today
in
order
to
proceed
we'll
have
to
set
aside
a
number
of
program
guidelines.
Z
The
collateral
is
in
a
conventional
deal
and
conventional
deals
are
typically
real
estate
or
equipment,
so
something
with
a
re
resale
value,
a
building
or
piece
of
equipment.
In
this
deal,
the
collateral
is
the
system
itself
and
the
service
agreements
from
the
developments.
The
system
has
an
unverified
resale
value,
as
it
would
be.
You
know
physically
constructed
into
the
into
the
earth,
and
the
service
agreements
will
not
have
value
to.
The
system
is
fully
operational.
Z
Neither
tower
side.
Wall
companies
nor
evergreen
are
able
to
provide
additional
collateral,
an
enforceable
corporate
guarantee,
a
letter
of
credit
or
purchase
bond
insurance,
which
would
be
acceptable
collateral
enhancements
in
a
deal
of
this
type.
The
city
will
have
to
guarantee
these
bonds
and
likely.
Z
While
we
not,
while
we
might
be
able
to
structure
the
debt
to
have
the
payments
start
in
the
future,
it
will
add
risk
and
the
risk
to
the
bonds
will
just
increase
the
price
and
make
it
difficult
for
the
bond
underwriters
to
sell
it
on
the
open
market
without
the
full
faith
and
credit
of
the
city
of
minneapolis,
it's
likely
not
to
be
sold
and
we'd
not
be
able
to
get
the
the
cash
we
need
to
support
the
ates
so
in
front
of
you,
we
have
a
couple
of
next
steps
is
whether
to
continue
with
staff
time
and
to
put
up
to
twenty
thousand
dollars
with
ellers
our
municipal
advisor
to
get
a
full
underwriting
and
legal
costs
for
this
unconventional
project.
Z
If
we
were,
if
you
were
to
direct
us
to
move
forward,
we
would
return
back
at
a
time
in
the
future
unless
directed
again
today,
which
I
expect
council
member
gordon,
will
do
with
amended
staff
direction,
and
we
would
ask
for
expenses
somewhere
between
100
and
250
000,
for
the
full
underwriting
of
this
project.
Z
We
should
expect
that
this
project
will
enter
the
city
into
a
long-term
funding
relationship
with
this
with
this
project,
and
we
should
be
ready
for
repayment
source
before
incurring
these
costs.
With
municipal
advisor
and
bond
underwriters,
we
seek
your
direction
on
whether
to
proceed
with
this
atypical
request,
because
it
would
be
an
investment
that
addresses
a
climate
action
opportunity
rather
than
the
conventional
deployment
of
the
common
bond
fund.
Z
We'd
like
to
see
if
this
type
of
risk
is
what
you,
what
the
city
council
was
thinking
about
when
it
resolved
to
establish
the
innovation
district
and
the
climate
emergency
last
december.
So
prior
to
standing
for
questions,
and
if
you
wish,
madam
chair,
we
do
have
three
representatives
from
the
tower
side:
team,
tracy,
nordstrom,
the
president
of
the
towerside
innovation
district,
michael
ahern,
who
is
the
senior
vice
president
at
evergreen
and
dick
gilliard
who's,
the
president
of
prospect
park
2020?
Who
could
provide
some
brief
remarks.
A
Thank
you,
mr
hansen,
for
the
presentation,
I'm
happy
to
recognize
the
team
for
a
very
brief
comment,
and
then
I
think,
would
suggest
that
we
hold
time
for
questions
from
council
members
council.
Member
gordon,
do
you
want
to
say
anything
at
this
point.
A
All
right,
thank
you.
So
if
there
are
folks
from
that
project
team
on
the
line,
you're
welcome
to
speak
now,
I
will
ask
that
we
hold
it
to
five
minutes,
as
we
still
have
a
number
of
large
items
on
this
agenda
after
this
item
and
welcome
to
our
meeting,
you
can
push
star
6
to
unmute
and
then
go
ahead
and
speak.
Q
Thank
you,
president
bender.
Can
you
hear
me
this
is
tracy
nordstrom,
yes,
go
ahead.
Thank
you
good.
Thank
you.
So
much
eric
president
bender
vice
president
jenkins
and
committee
members.
I
am
tracy
nordstrom,
president
of
the
powerside
innovation
district.
The
proposal
before
you
today
funds
an
inaugural
aquifer,
thermal
district
energy
system
in
powerside
innovation.
Q
We
humbly
ask
today
that
this
committee
support
council
member
gordon's
motion,
which
he
will
offer
in
a
minute
and
direct
staff
to
proceed.
If
you
have
technical
questions,
michael
ahern
is
with
me.
He
is
the
senior
vice
president
of
project
development
for
evergreen
energy
evergreen
energy,
as
eric
hanson
stated,
is
our
partner
on
this
proposal.
Q
Q
he's
available
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
might
have
about:
community
engagement
on
this
process
and
the
long
community-based
history
of
this
district
system
and
the
city-wide
benefits
to
this
project,
and
with
that
I
will
turn
it
back
to
you.
Thank
you
for
hosting
us
today
and
for
considering
this
proposal.
D
Thank
you
very
much
chair
bender,
so
I
would
like
to
move
the
staff
direction
and
get
it
up
there
and
speak
to
it
briefly
and
I'll
try
to
be
as
concise
as
possible.
Hopefully,
folks
have
had
a
chance
to
look
at
the
staff
report,
including
the
letter
from
our
sustainability
director,
and
if
the
clerk
has
that
staff
direction,
we
can
put
it
up.
First
of
all,
I'll
just
frame
this
in
terms
of
may
be
a
little
bit
of
a
bigger
picture.
So
folks
know
we
have
a
climate
action
plan.
D
We
declared
a
climate
emergency.
We
as
a
city
council
and
as
a
city,
have
really
recognized
issues
with
fossil
fuel
burning
and
the
impacts
that
it's
having
and
the
costs.
We've
even
tried
to
put
some
costs
on
that
and
identified
some
costs
of
carbon
in
the
bigger
picture
of
things,
the
social
cost
or
the
true
cost
of
carbon,
which
we
even
said
in
our
declaration
of
emergency.
We
would
incorporate
into
our
decisions
into
the
future.
So
keep
that
in
mind.
D
While
we're
thinking
about
numbers
and
costs
and
potential
benefits,
that's
a
bigger
picture.
D
We
also
identify
the
innovation
districts
in
the
city
as
a
way
to
try
out
new
things,
and
certainly
we've
been
looking
at
this
area
which
is
in
in
our
language.
It's
not
called
the
tower
side,
innovation
district,
but
it's
a
university
in
innovation,
district
with
st
paul
as
a
partner
in
it
and
university
of
minnesota,
is
right.
D
There
we've
actually
seen
enormous
development
in
the
area
here
and
we've
been
trying
to
figure
out
a
way
to
get
alternative
energies
like
this
now
for
years,
and
we
think
we've
landed
on
something
that
energy
experts,
including
a
district
energy
provider
from
st
paul,
is
now
willing
to
build
and
establish
and
set
up.
D
I
also
recognize
that
staff
seeing
this
is
very
unconventional,
that
there
are
risks
involved,
and
so
I've
tried
to
craft
a
staff
direction
that
will
allow
the
project
to
move
forward
and
give
confidence
to
our
development
partners
who
are
ready
to
proceed
with
this,
but
also
give
us
a
chance
to
make
sure
there
are
some
requirements
there
that
have
to
be
met
before
we'll
move
forward
and
also.
This
is
essentially
a
preliminary
approval,
an
approval
of,
at
least
in
spending
up
to
twenty
thousand
dollars
to
continue
the
evaluation
phase.
D
D
One
is
that
an
entity
other
than
the
city
agrees
to
pay
bond
council
and
underwriting
costs
and
will
escrow
funds
to
the
city
based
on
written
estimates.
Another
articulates
that
the
phase
one
district
energy
system,
energy
consumers
will
sign
long-term
energy
service
contracts
covering
the
costs
of
all
phase
one
debt
payments
for
the
system.
D
It
also
identifies
the
towerside
innovation
district
as
the
entity
that
will
secure
and
commit
funding
to
conduct
final
engineering
testing,
including
verification
of
aquifer
velocity,
that's
an
estimated
cost
of
a
hundred
thousand
dollars.
It
also
stipulates
that
the
district
energy
system
and
the
long-term
energy
service
agreements
will
serve
as
collateral
for
our
common
bond
fund
financing.
D
I'll
also
just
note
that
we're,
I
think,
being
a
little
bit
conservative
about
what
will
get
built
and
what
won't
get
built
if
we
can
get
this
established
now,
there's
going
to
be
future
development
there
and
we've
already
missed
several
buildings
that
weren't
able
to
tap
into
a
system,
and
if
we
have
this
district
energy
system
waiting
and
ready,
it
can
probably
be
utilized
and
will
be
utilized
by
other
buildings
in
that
area,
but
also,
as
was
already
mentioned,
I
think
one
of
the
most
exciting
things
is
that
we
will
have
something
that
we
can
replicate
in
other
places.
D
I
know
some
of
us
talk
about
and
are
looking
at
things
like
the
upper
harbor
terminal
and
imagining
could
we
actually
have
a
project
of
that
size
that
we
wouldn't
have
to
pipe
for
natural
gas,
and
this
could
be
if
we
can
prove
the
model
here
work
out
some
of
the
kinks
I
yeah.
I
think
that
we
will
be
in
great
shape
for
using
it
in
other
spaces
and
areas.
D
There
may
be
other
things
in
the
city
where
it
might
apply,
including
the
kmart
site,
where
I
think
there'll
be
some
big
development
coming
up
soon.
So
that's.
I
know
that
kim
havey
from
the
sustainability
office
is
also
here
to
answer
questions.
He
wrote
such
a
fabulous
memo,
I'm
tempted
to
read
the
last
paragraph
to
you
all,
but
I
guess
I'll
try
to
cut
myself
off
and
resist
that
urge
and
see
what
questions
there
are.
Thank
you
so
much.
S
You,
madam
chair,
maybe
some
of
the
last
paragraph
of
kim
havey's
letter,
could
come
out
in
some
of
these
questions.
I
guess
my
first
concern.
I
don't
this
seems
like
there's
a
huge
amount
of
risk
here.
You
don't
need
to
pay
me
20,
000,
to
tell
you
that
you
should
probably
get
a
smarter
consultant
than
me,
but
I
just
I
have
several
questions
and
the
first
is
more
procedurally.
Why?
Why
is
city
council
reviewing
an
approval
to
spend
twenty
thousand
dollars?
S
Z
Council,
council,
president
and
council
member
paul
masano
we're
coming
to
you
today.
Yes,
we
can,
we
can
use
the
procurement
system
and
spend
twenty
thousand
dollars
with
ellers
to
complete
this
next
step,
but
because
of
the
there
were
so
many
elements
of
the
program
that
we're
setting
aside.
Z
In
order
to
do
this,
we
wanted
to
see
if
this
is
the
direction
that
the
council
was
expecting
to
take
because
as
we
get
forward,
the
next
step
is
a
significant
amount
of
money
and
when
we
talked
with
tower
side
and
evergreen
and
and
walls
about
this
project
and
the
you
know,
typically,
what
will
happen
is
the
the
borrower
will
will
front
the
money,
and
I
appreciate
what
councilmember
gordon
is
putting
in
his
staff
direction.
Z
That
requires
that
escrow
funds
be
put
in
to
pay
for
these
estimated
costs,
because
up
until
this
point,
they
haven't
had
the
funds
to
do
so.
So
we
wanted
to
make
sure
before
we
get
down
to
train
the
track
with
this
project
and
come
back
with.
Maybe
a
request
for
an
appropriation
of
you
know
over
a
hundred
thousand
dollars.
You
guys
are
pointing
us
in
the
right
direction,
especially
given
the
budget
situation
we
have
now.
S
Yeah,
thank
you
and
I
really
appreciate
the
slides
that
you
presented.
That
really
outline
you
know
here
are
the
risks
that
we're
getting
into?
Why
are
we
proposing
to
finance
100
of
the
project
instead
of
90,
I
mean
is:
is
a
wall
or
tower
side
contributing
anything
to
that
project?
I
think
that's.
That's
maybe
part
of
this
council
member
gordon's
first
bullet
point
here,
but
why?
Why
isn't
wall
paying
for
these
elements
in
these
buildings.
Z
Council,
president
and
council
member
paul
masano,
we
we
typically
will
get
10
of
cash
equity
or
cash
equivalent
equity
into
a
deal
for
the
common
bond
fund.
We
can
go
up
to
100
percent
and
that's
what's
been
proposed
when
we've
asked
the
three
partners
for
contributions,
they've
told
one
they've
told
us
that
they
don't
have
the
funding
to
do
that
and
they
want
to
roll
a
lot
of
the
costs
into
the
into
the
bonds
and
then
and
then
finance
it
essentially
with
the
loan.
Z
So
that's
in
front
of
you
is
a:
is
it's
just
a
risk
that
we'd
have
to
take
and
that's
another
reason
why
the
city's
kind
of
full
faith
and
credit
would
have
to
be
behind
these
in
order
for
us
to
be
successful
in
the
bond
market
most
likely,
given
you
know
the
lag
time
and
the
new
technology
and
all
of
the
risks-
and
you
know
to
council
member
gordon's
point
you
know
you
know
this
might
be
the
time
for
you
to
take
a
risk,
but
the
only
way
that
this
is
likely
to
be
sold
is
if
we
kind
of
back
it
with
all
of
our
our
financing,
and
so
we've
asked
that
many
times,
but
they
have
not
wanted
to
contribute.
Z
And
then,
when
I
spoke
with
the
wall
company
representatives
about
the
costs
into
the
building
and
the
construction,
they
said
it
was
too
costly
to
put
this
into
their
into
their
building.
Z
Councilmember
council
president
council
member
paul
masano,
it's
it's
unclear
at
this
point
in
time.
We've
asked
that
question.
We
we
just
don't
know
yet
we're
hopeful
to
find
that
out
as
we
go
to
this
next
phase,.
S
Z
Well,
council,
president
and
council
member
paul
masano,
the
the
private
development
will
occur
over
time
and
if
the
the
project
will
be
scaled
as
that
development
occurs,
but
it
puts
risks
in
the
re
and
the
repayment
stream.
That's
another,
that's
another
consideration
for
the
council.
Z
You
know
you
know
the
conventional
common
bond
fund,
it's
a
it's
an
existing
entity.
I
can
I'll
I'll
use
a
an
a
conventional
project.
We
we've
used
the
common
bonds
to
fund
the
theaters
downtown
and
has
an
asset,
the
the
buildings,
and
it
has
a
revenue
source-
that's
been
used.
This
is
this
is
essentially
we're
on
the
ground
floor
with
with
this
technology.
So
that's,
that's.
Z
You
know
it's
another
part
of
the
risks
and
it's
we're
expecting
that
that
will
be
coming
back
to
us
from
ellers
about
how
risky
this
thing
is,
and-
and
you
know
it's
just
it's
not
you
know
it's
we're,
not
experts
at
the
technology
as
well.
So
we
would
have
to
do
some
additional
analysis
on
the
technology
to
make
sure
that
it
is
the
appropriate
one,
and
I
take
evergreen's
professional
advice
that
this
is
the
right
system.
Z
But
if
development
is
stalled
and
the
system
is
built
for
the
first
phase
and
that
third
building
isn't
done,
we
won't
have
as
much
revenue
and
and
there
could
be
a
shortfall
and
the
backer
would
be
the
city.
S
So,
and
go
ahead
and
cut
me
off.
I
have
like
two
more
small
questions.
What
would
be
the
annual
debt
service
if
the
city
city
has
to
step
in
and
pay
it?
Do?
You
know
that
I
mean
you
mentioned
a
lot
of
risks
here
in
the
repayment
stream.
Z
All
right
council
president
councilmember
paul
masano
if
well
it
depends
it
depends
on
the
length
of
the
term
how
much
is
borrowed
and
the
interest
rate
we've
been
playing
with
or
discussing
interest
rates
somewhere
between
three
and
six
percent.
The
riskier
it
is
the
higher
their
interest
rate
is
likely
to
go.
But
you
know
if
it's
something
that's
around.
You
know
five
million
dollars
that
first
initial
phase.
Z
Well,
it
depends
we,
you
know,
there's
a
there's.
A
one
to
three
year
lag
time
in
between
the
showing
of
the
bonds
and
and
the
revenue
source,
and
so
it's
it.
It
depends
on
how
we
can
structure
the
bonds.
As
you
know,
council
member
gordon
says,
in
his
staff
direction
to
have
repayments
start
later.
We
wouldn't
likely
be
able
to
just
set
it
for
when
the,
when
we
have
the
money,
we'll
pay,
you
back,
it'll
probably
have
to
be
like.
Z
We
would
set
it
up
and
and
we'll
start
paying
you
back
in
three
years
that
adds
cost
to
the
bonds.
It
adds
costs
risk
to
the
bonds.
So
that's
probably
more
expensive,
but
if,
if
we're
not
unable
to
do
that,
and
the
development
doesn't
start,
that's
it,
it
could
be.
You
know
the
city
could
be
exposed
to
finding
that
source
from
you
know,
maybe
a
year
up
to
up
to
three.
It's
all
dependent
on
on
this.
It's
as
councilmember
gordon
is
saying
is
this.
Z
This
is
this
is
something
new
and
it's
innovative.
It's
an
innovation
district,
but
I
just
we
just
want
to
make
sure
that
the
council
understands.
What's
at
risk
from
a
financial
standpoint
and
also
what's
at
risk
from
an
environmental
standpoint,.
S
Yeah,
it
seems
like
a
lot
I
mean
I
I
like
what
tracy
nordstrom
said
that
this
is
a
replicable,
potentially
demonstration
project
of
sorts.
I
mean
to
put
words
in
your
mouth,
but
that's
kind
of
how
I'd
summarize
it,
but
I
just
I
struggle
with
why
the
city
has
to
guarantee
the
project
without
having
more
involvement
from
these
partners,
and
I
don't
know
if
you
have
any
insight
on
that.
Z
Council
president
councilman
paul
masano
it
that's
the
only
way
the
bonds
get
sold
if
there
isn't,
if
there
isn't
a
city
guarantee
or
a
guarantor
of
of
some
sort,
that's
very
conventional.
Usually
the
guarantor
is
the
company
that
borrows
the
money
they're,
the
investor
they
take
on
the
risk.
Z
That
is,
you
know
the
the
fund.
The
bond
fund
is
used
to
backfill
in
in
in
emergency
situations
and
default
situations,
but
when
it
goes
out
to
market
they
look
at
the
bond.
Buyers
are
going
to
look
at
how
it's
structured
and
they're
going
to
look
at
that
collateral.
What
the
risks
are,
because
bond
buyers
are
not
risk,
they're
risk
averse
in
general,
they're,
usually
more
conventional,
lower
risk
investment
vehicles,
and
so
they're
gonna
look
for
who's,
who's,
standing
behind
it
and
the
city
without
the
city
standing
behind
it.
S
Yeah
I
appreciate
that
and
I
want
to
be
a
partner
here.
I
guess
I
would
just
offer
that
I
wish
that
wall
or
tower
side
or
the
other
one
green
mark
were
were
contributing
more
to
this
project,
especially
in
the
last
few
weeks.
S
A
Thank
you
no
problem.
I
think
there
are
common
questions.
I
see
council
member
schroeder
and
then
councilmember
gordon.
M
Thank
you,
council
president.
I
want
to
talk,
I
mean
we've.
Thank
you
so
much
director
for
talking
a
little
bit
about
the
the
risks
on
the
financial
side,
but
I
wanted
to
elaborate
a
little
more
on
the
environmental
side.
I
first
want
to
start
out.
I
wholeheartedly
support
this
program
to
support
this
development,
and
I
want
to
thank
councilmember
gordon
for
all
the
kind
of
the
extraordinary
work
he's
done.
M
I'm
bringing
this
forward,
but
to
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
the
risks
on
the
environmental
side
like
we
are
talking
about
risks
that
you
know
we
aren't
held
accountable
for
right
now.
You
know
a
lot
of
the
financial
risks.
That's
based
on
a
system
where
we
don't
have
to
pay
for
the
cost
of
our
carbon.
We
don't
have
to
pay
for
our
pollution.
M
We
don't
have
to
pay
for
the
negative
consequences
of
how
we
currently
live,
that
that's
starting
to
change
like
what
investors
are
investing
in
is
is
changing
like
that
kind
of
triple
bottom
line
is
starting
to
be
a
real
factor
that
people
are
looking
at,
as
we
see
the
effects
of
climate
change,
and
here
you
know
in
minneapolis
we're
really
proud
to
to
lead
on
some
things.
But
the
truth
is
some
of
this
work
we're
very
much
just
keeping
up.
M
M
But
the
fact
is
we're
not
we're
not
meeting
those
we're
barely
keeping
up
just
to
give
some
context
for
my
colleagues,
many
cities
throughout
the
world
have
committed
to
you,
know,
implement
the
the
paris
agreement
and
to
meet
its
deadlines,
and
one
of
those
deadlines
is
to
plateau
their
emissions
by
2020.
M
That's
this
year
like
we're
not
there
like
right
now.
Last
year
our
missions
were
increasing,
and,
and
so,
if
we
are
serious
about
meeting
climate
goals,
we
need
to
be
investing
in
solutions
like
this.
It's
something
that
the
other
other
side
of
it
is
there's
very
few
solutions
out
there
that
will
actually
get
us
to
meet
our
goals,
especially
in
our
climate,
with
the
much
colder
winters
we
need
to
be
thinking
about
heating
and
cooling,
and
simply
there
just
is
not
other
a
lot
of
solutions
out
there
that
get
us
there.
M
The
city
is
not
putting
aside
money
to
retrofit
all
of
our
buildings
to
have
more
insulation.
We
need
to
be
thinking
about
what
is
going
to
get
there,
and
I
I
really
appreciate
all
the
people
working
on
this
to
to
have
something
that
starts
out.
That
can
be
scalable
that
we
can
see
working
here
in
minneapolis
to
help
us
really
achieve
our
goals.
D
I
guess
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
I
think
the
partners
have
made
significant
investments
in
this.
A
lot
of
the
research
that
went
into
this
and
it's
evergreen
energy,
not
green
marks,
just
don't
get
those
too
confused,
has
definitely
put
in
a
lot
of
effort
and
energy
and
there's
already
been
funds
from
the
partners
and
researching
this
and
and
developing
it
and
studying
it
and
looking
at
it
and
also
the
building
builders.
D
The
construction
groups
are
looking
right
now
at
what
cost
do
they
put
into
their
energy
and
they
want
to
make
that
extra
investment,
so
the
buildings
will
be
retrofitted
in
order
to
use
this
heat
and
and
cooling
and
so
they're
definitely
partners
in
that
as
as
well.
I
was
wondering,
if
kim
heavy,
wanted
to
add
anything
to
this.
I
think
maybe
we're
thinking
it's
more
innovative
even
than
it
is.
D
I
know
that
the
city
of
st
paul
and
ryan
company
are
doing
district
energy
at
the
ford
development
and
other
things,
so
if
he
could
just
have
maybe
two
minutes,
although
I
hate
to
lose
my
colleagues
who
are
leaving
the
meeting
that
might
be
useful
and
he
could
help
answer
any
questions.
AA
AA
This
is
kim
heavy
sustainability
director,
I'm
happy
to
make
a
few
comments,
but
if
time
is
of
the
essence,
certainly
we'll
can
I
express
that
I
think,
are
my
main
comments
in
regards
to
the
in
the
memo.
But
if
you'd
like.
AA
A
I
think
it'd
be
just
help
just
find
it
very
helpful
to
have
a
couple
of
thoughts
from
you
at
this
time.
AA
AA
I
just
want
to
emphasize
one
of
the
things
that's
really
interesting
about
this
project,
and
that
is
that
this
technology,
that
we're
talking
about
being
very
innovative,
has
actually
been
working
and
in
place
in
many
many
different
locations
throughout
europe.
And,
of
course,
the
general
concept
of
using
a
geothermal
exchange
of
ground
source
heating
and
cooling
is
very
common
and
has
many
many
commercial
and
residential
applications
here
in
minnesota
and
throughout
north
america.
AA
So
it
while
there
is
risk
with
it
that
is
identified
by
the
sort
of
financial
markets,
the
risks
of
not
doing.
This
are
very
significant,
and
one
of
those
was
pointed
out
in
those
points.
If
you
look
at
the
social
cost
of
carbon
and
attach
it
to
the
overall
carbon
emission
savings
on
this,
this
would
equal
out
to
about
21
million
dollars
which,
on
the
fully
built
out
system,
would
would
pretty
much
cover
the
whole
phase.
AA
One
related
costs-
those
are
those
externalities
that
council
member
schroeder
was
talking
about
that
we're
trying
to
actually
put
a
number
to
so
I
think
it's
really
important
for
us
to
look
that
those
costs
are
born
by
somebody
somewhere
by
if
we
don't
do
this.
What's
also
interesting
is
that
the
emissions
from
this
particular
project
represent
about
0.3
percent
of
our
overall
city-wide
emissions.
AA
So
if
we
don't
go
ahead
and
make
this
kind
of
investment
in
this,
this
technology
and
this
innovative
design
for
this
district,
we're
looking
at
adding
to
the
emission
problems
which
again
has
been
pointed
out,
so
I
think
it's
really
important
to
keep
that
in
mind.
This
is
also
an
opportunity
for
us
to
really
do
economic
recovery
investment
there's
going
to
be
a
lot
of
local
jobs
here.
This
will
be
locally
managed
and
we
won't
be
exporting
city
dollars
to
pay
for
gas.
AA
AA
A
Thank
you.
I
so
I've
seen
a
few
sort
of
questions
coming
through
the
chat,
but
I
just
if
you
want
to
ask
a
question:
please
put
your
name
in
queue
and
happy
to
call
on
council
members.
I
just
don't
feel
confident.
I
can
track
all
the
different
things
going
on
in
the
chat
council
member
rank.
C
Thank
you,
madam
president,
yeah.
This
is
very.
I
very
much
appreciate
mr
havey's
commentary
on
looking
at
the
whole
picture
of
how
we
evaluate
this.
Of
course,
I
do
definitely
take
to
heart
with
cpet
staff
and
their
analysis
of
the
use
of
this
sort
of
tool,
this
mechanism,
financial
mechanism,
and
it
seems
that
councilmember
gordon,
has
crafted
it
in
a
way
where
we
will
be
able
to
test
the
waters
a
little
more
thoroughly.
C
I
think
that's
what
the
20
grand
is
for.
I
can
appreciate
that.
You
know
I
think
palmisano
our
colleague
was
much
more
efficient,
but
then
again,
maybe
not
as
thorough
as
the
other
consultant
might
be
in
the
analysis,
but
I
will
contend
this.
We
should
be
looking
at
the
traditional
purposes
and
maybe
requiring
development
on
getting
that
sort
of
baked
in
up
front.
There
seems
to
be
a
proposed
job,
creating
element
to
the
proposed
developments,
ones
that
are
more
in
the
pipeline
and
the
ones
that
were
typified
as
aspirational.
C
We
should
probably
codify
that
to
to
get
what
we
really
want
out
of
these
types
of
tools
that
were
created
for
job
creation
and
certainly
I've
been
pressing.
This
point
in
many
different
facets.
I
wouldn't
want
to
miss
this
opportunity
here,
and
I
know
councilman
gordon
has
no
problem
getting
agreements
up
front
to
get
the
ends
we
want
for
public
benefit,
so
I
have
faith
in
that,
but
just
a
suggestion
moving
forward
and
in
addition,
I
would
suggest
that
we
would
also
want
something
more
in
terms
of
the
building
envelope.
C
I
would
contend
that
we
do
are
able
to
do
a
lot
in
terms
of
making
our
buildings
either
new
construction
or
retrofitting,
which
is
a
little
more
difficult
but
still
necessary.
C
We
can't
necessarily
always
do
these
upfront
investments
and
feed
hungry
buildings.
We
need
to
have
buildings
that
ourselves
are
lean
and
mean
do
not
need
as
much
energy
in
the
first
place,
because
even
renewable
energy
still
takes
resources
and
energy
up
front
to
to
create
and
make,
and
so
I
just
learned
this
from
the
past
from
smaller
housing
projects.
C
In
you
know,
in
the
past,
where
we
had
very
expensive
buildings
with
great
gizmos,
geothermal,
etc,
and
the
realization
was
that
we
just
had
a
lot
of
money
feed
a
hungry
building,
and
so
our
thinking
has
shifted
into
making
sure
that
we
have
buildings
that
are
really
not
that
hungry
for
energy
in
the
first
place,
and
I
would
think
that
would
be
a
reasonable
request
for
the
development
standards
of
these
projects.
C
Given
that
we
are
putting
up
our
public
resources
up
front
to
give
a
great
source
of
energy
but
shouldn't
they
do
their
end
of
it,
particularly
since
they
have
no
money
up
front
at
this
stage
of
the
game,
to
say
that
they're
not
going
to
create
hungry
buildings
in
the
first
place-
and
I
know
that's
very-
in
line
with
our
goals
and
definitely
in
line
with
the
work
that
councilmember
gordon's
been
doing
in
that
area
on
every
preceding
project.
A
A
I
am
supportive
of
moving
forward
with
this
project
at
this
stage
of
its
process,
and
I
know
that
it
has
been
a
long
time
coming
in
terms
of
all
of
the
different
steps
that
have
been
taken
from
designating
the
innovation
district
to
many
many
things
in
between,
and
so
I
think,
while
certainly
there
are
risks
involved,
as
described
and
potentially
future
work
to
do
I
loved
a
lot
of
the
suggestions
that
councilman
reich
made
and
are
really
in
line
with
the
zoning
update
that
I
know
you
are
working
on
councilmember
with
gordon
and
schroeder,
so
you
know
all
things
I
think
that
could
continue
to
be
developed.
A
But
at
this
point
I
think
the
benefits
that
we've
heard
in
terms
of
really
you
know
living
up
to
our
commitments
that
we
have
made
in
greenhouse
gas
reduction
targets
and
other
sustainability
goals
really
require
us
to
move
forward
and
and
do
everything
that
we
can
to
meet
those
goals.
So
you
don't
see
anyone
else
in
queue,
I'll
pause.
One.
Last
time
see
man,
please.
E
D
B
D
V
B
J
B
B
M
B
P
S
B
A
That
carries
and
that
item
will
be
forwarded.
I
know
that
both
council
member
goodman
and
council
mercano
had
to
leave
for
other
meetings
with
our
consolidated
council
structure.
This
committee
sees
the
work
of
at
least
eight
typical
standing
committees,
so
our
meetings
have
been
and
will
continue
to
be
very
long.
I
think
in
this
environment
until
unless
we
restructure
back
to
more
committees.
A
So
thanks
for
my
colleagues
and
staff
who
are
hanging
in
there
and
of
course,
we
know
that
that
there's
a
lot
going
on
and
cubs
members
may
need
to
attend
to
other
things
as
well.
We
do
still
have
quorum
which
we
need,
so
please
don't
leave
so
that
we
can
keep
quorum.
A
So
we
will
then
move
to
item51,
which
is
a
progress
report
on
your
city
or
streets,
which
is
an
update
from
our
transportation
department
within
public
works
and
an
update
on
our
commitment
to
complete
streets
and
the
funding
that
we've
approved
for
street
reconstruction
and
resurfacing.
So
thank
you.
I
believe
we
have
mr
samuelson
from
public
works
to
kick
us
off
with
this
presentation.
Y
Y
So
in
2017,
council
passed
the
20-year
parks
and
streets
funding
ordinance,
which
has
provided
a
guaranteed
minimum
annual
funding
for
street
projects.
The
ordinance
calls
for
a
combination
of
asset
conditions,
demographic
information
and
street
users
to
score
projects
to
help
prioritize
construction
and
also
calls
for
an
annual
report
back,
which
is
what
I'm
providing
today
just
to
note
that,
in
addition
to
projects
funded
by
the
ordinance
I'll
also
be
reporting
on
some
of
our
other
work,
which
is
not
directly
funded
through
the
ordinance
but
was
also
completed
last
year.
Next
slide,
please.
Y
Y
Next
slide,
please,
and
just
a
few
more
of
the
accomplishments
completed
since
2017.
You
can
see
in
addition
to
the
construction
paving
projects
that
have
been
funded.
We've
also
made
a
number
of
improvements
to
our
bicycle
and
pedestrian
infrastructure,
including
bike
lanes,
pedestrian
ramps
and
ada
upgrades
and
curve.
Extensions
next
slide,
please.
Y
So
this
slide
shows
a
summary
of
the
work
completed
just
last
year,
you'll
note
that
over
40
miles
of
street
improvements
were
done
just
last
year,
there's
a
more
detailed
version
of
today's
presentation
in
your
council
packets.
Y
I
won't
have
time
to
get
to
every
project
we
did
last
year
so
just
know
that
there
are
some
additional
photos
and
information
in
your
council,
packets
and
I'll.
Just
summarize,
some
of
the
highlights
from
2019
next
slide.
Please.
Y
Please
a
few
other
reconstruction
projects
that
began
in
2019,
so
this
photo
shows
the
34th
avenue
south
reconstruction
project.
That's
about
a
mile
and
a
half.
We
also
rebuilt
streets
in
downtown
8th
street,
as
well
as
several
streets
in
the
mid-city
industrial
area
and
portions
of
33rd
and
35th
street
east.
So
our
reconstruction
projects
include
a
full
rebuild
of
the
roadway,
including
replacing
asphalt
or
concrete,
improving,
curb
and
gutter
work,
as
well
as
sidewalks
and
curb
ramps
and
signals
next
slide.
Please.
Y
We're
very
proud
of
some
of
the
collaboration
and
coordination
we've
done
with
metro
transit.
Last
year
we
worked
with
them
to
roll
out
pilot
bus
lanes
on
the
left
we
have
hennepin
avenue
and
on
the
right
chicago
avenue.
We've
just
started
to
collect
some
of
the
data
on
bus,
speed
and
reliability.
So
since
these
were
installed
last
year
and
we
are
seeing
an
improvement
in
bus,
speed
and
bus
travel
time
which
we're
excited
about
next
slide,
please.
Y
We
also
completed
several
bikeway
projects
last
year.
This
photo
shows
pictures
of
the
university
of
minnesota
protected
bikeway,
which
built
about
two
miles
of
bike
infrastructure
on
both
sides
of
the
river
and
is
being
done
in
coordination
with
the
rehabilitation
of
the
10th
avenue
bridge,
which
is
happening
this
year.
Y

Y

A
pedestrian
realm
critically
important.
We
know,
as
we
were,
working
towards
improving
comfort
for
people
walking
in
our
city,
so
it
typically
takes
a
couple
different
routes.
The
first
is
closing
sidewalk
gaps
where
sidewalk
doesn't
exist.
That's
what
this
project,
the
north
common
sidewalk
gap
did
so
it
closed
a
sidewalk
gap
on
the
west
side
and
south
side
of
north
commons
park,
and
then
we
also
have
a
lot
of
projects
that
look
at
improving
crossing
of
streets.
Y
So
we
added
medians
on
bloomington
avenue
and
28th
avenue
south
as
well
as
shortened
crossing
distances
on
como
avenue,
southeast
and
installed
some
bump
outs
on
glengale
park
or
just
a
few
to
mention
there
next
slide.
Please.
Y
And
lastly,
just
want
to
highlight
the
work
that
we're
doing
on
our
ada
ramp
replacement
program.
Last
year
we
were
able
to
get
to
30
intersections
across
the
city,
which
is
what
that
map
on
the
right
side
of
the
slide
is
showing
and
then
on.
The
left.
You
can
see
the
the
before
and
after
of
a
non-compliant
ramp
and
then
a
compliant
ramp,
and
so
this
is
a
big
part
of
the
work
that
our
88
transition
plan
calls
for
which
was
recently
passed.
A
F
C
Thank
you,
madam
president.
It
was
nice
to
have
the
luxury
of
having
a
presentation,
even
though
I
know
we
have
a
very
stacked
agenda,
so
appreciate
the
time
allotted
a
lot
of
great
work.
I
just
had
to
say
in
a
personal
level,
it
was
just
really
probably
the
highlight
of
my
week
to
see
that
aerial
photo
of
the
dedicated
bus
lanes.
I
don't
know
if
it's
just
the
sharp
brilliant
bright
red,
color
or
just
the
fact
that
we
can
see.
C
Even
though
these
are
pilots,
we
can
see
not
in
an
autocad
generated
image
of
what
the
future
could
look
like,
but
there
it
is
right
in
our
built
environment
in
our
communities
what
it
could
be,
there's
just
something
about
that.
I
just
find
really
inspiring
and
very
very
motivating.
So
whoever
took
that
shot.
Thank
you
and
thanks
for
sharing
it.
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
mike,
of
course,
the
chair
of
our
transfusion
public
works
committee.
In
normal
times.
I
also
had
a
chance
to
send
a
note
to
staff
and
just
thank
everyone
for
all
of
their
work,
really
working
to
make
our
streets
safer
for
all
users,
and
you
know,
I
think,
a
very
small
amount
of
that
was
captured
in
this
presentation,
but
it's
so
appreciated
and
I
think
important
to
take
the
time
to
hear
about
it.
A
AB
Hi
everyone
hi
chairbender
and
members
of
the
council,
so
I'm
going
to
give
a
quick,
quick
update
on
our
happenings
on
vision,
zero.
I
think
hopefully
you're
seeing
the
slides
now
here
they
come
next
slide.
Please.
AB
AB
AB
How
are
we
looking
to
education
and
communications
and
equitable
enforcement
strategies
as
well,
safe
vehicles,
which
is
really
the
the
minor
role
that
the
city
plays
in
regulating
vehicles
and
then
safety
data
to
make
sure
we
have
good
data
so
on
the
bottom
here
you
can
see
just
an
overview
of
the
fact
that
we've
started
a
lot
of
these
actions
they're
in
progress
and
I'll.
Give
a
few
updates
on
some
of
those
highlights
next
slide,
please!
AB
So,
overall,
this
is
just
a
summary
of
what
are
how
many
severe
and
fatal
crashes
have
we
seen
on
our
streets
in
the
since
2016,
so
we've
in
the
last
four
years,
we've
seen
an
average
of
unfortunately
13
people
killed
and
153
people
severely
injured
and
traffic
crashes
on
streets
in
minneapolis,
not
including
freeways.
So
I
know
I
often
talk
about
numbers
here
and
also
just
reflect
that
these
are
individual
peoples
whose
lives
are
forever
changed,
and
that's
our
motivation
to
make
real
progress
on
this.
AB
I
for
those
who
really
track
the
numbers
closely.
I
will
note
that
these
are
significantly
higher
than
what
we
talk
about
in
the
vision,
zero
action
plan,
and
that
is
because
the
state
has
changed
their
guidance
for
classifying
a
crash
as
severe
and
now
more
crashes
are
being
classified
as
severe.
AB
We
can't
really
accurately
compare
severe
crashes
before
and
after
2016.,
and
but
what
I
can
say
is
that
we
also
did
see
all
crashes
in
the
city
increase
about
14
for
this
period
compared
to
the
first
half
of
the
decade,
which
was
the
lowest
we've
seen
in
crashes
for
all
many
decades.
So
just
a
note
on
on
that
that
we
do
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do
next
slide.
Please.
AB
This
year
so
far,
we
because
of
covet
19,
I
think
in
large
part,
we
have
seen
significant
decreases
in
all
crashes
and
severe
and
fatal
crashes.
You
can
see
48
lower
for
all
crashes
and
44
lower
for
severe
and
fatal
crashes
in
minneapolis.
These
are
we.
AB
This
is
we're
seeing
a
similar
trend
statewide,
but
this
trend
in
minneapolis
is
actually
more
pronounced
in
reductions,
so
we're
still
need
to
do
more
data
analysis
to
understand
all
the
factors
here,
but
certainly
a
big
part
of
it
is
fewer
people
driving
means
fewer
crashes,
and
we
know
that
next
slide.
AB
Please
so
I
did
also
want
to
take
a
moment
to
just
next
slide,
please
to
just
update
on
some
of
we
updated
our
information
about
disparities
and
crashes
that
exist
as
as
we've
talked
about
throughout
we.
There
are
some
unacceptable
disparities.
We
see-
and
I
think
in
the
moment
of
time,
we're
in.
I
think
it's
really
important
to
reflect
on
those
especially
and
that's
something.
AB
We've
really
tried
to
build
in
on
the
vision,
zero
action
plan,
but
I
have
to
acknowledge
that
I
recognize
that
the
moment
in
time
has
changed
since
the
killing
of
george
floyd
and
we're
all
we're
thinking
about
what
does
that
mean
for
vision,
zero
as
well?
So
I
will
know
we
continue
to
see
strong
disparities
and
crashes
are
more
concentrated
in
areas
of
concentrated
poverty,
where
a
majority
of
people
are
are
black
indigenous
or
people
of
color.
AB
We
also
see
we
looked
at
more
years
of
data
and
we
did
continue
to
see
disparities
for
native
american
residents,
but
also
saw
disparities
for
our
black
community
members,
and
so
the
the
disparities
for
black
community
members
wasn't
something
that
was
showing
up
in
earlier
analysis,
and
so
we
are
looking
at
if
we
need
to
make
adjustments
to
recognize
that
disparity
as
well,
so
some
troubling
and
unacceptable
disparities
next
slide,
please
so
into
some
of
the
things
that
we've
been
doing
recently.
AB
You
all
know
that
we've
lowered
we're
in
the
process
of
lowering
speed
limits
in
the
city.
The
map
on
the
right
is
sort
of
the
the
latest
version
of
where
signs
have
been
installed.
You
can
see
that
the
blue
here
is
where
25
mile
an
hour
signs
have
been
installed.
AB
We
we
just
have
a
little
bit
of
downtown
left
to
install
25
on
our
signs
on,
after
that,
we
will,
in
coordination
with
st
paul,
be
installing
gateway
signs
at
the
periphery
of
the
city
to
announce
that
the
the
speed
limit
in
minneapolis
is
20
miles
an
hour
unless
otherwise
signed.
We
have
been
distributing.
We
have
more
than
2500
yard
signs
now.
620
is
plenty
slower
is
safer.
AB
It's
been
a
very
hot
commodity,
putting
those
out
through
fire
stations
over
the
last
couple
weeks,
and
this
is
we're
getting
a
lot
of
positive
feedback
on
this
so
far.
AB
I
also
want
to
just
note
two
other
things
here
is
we
know
that
lowering
the
speed
limit
alone
is
not
enough.
We
need
other
things
as
well
and
we
are
updating
our
traffic
calming
procedures
and
those
will
be
in
place
by
the
end
of
the
year
to
invest
in
neighborhood
traffic,
calming
we're
also
making
investments
on
our
high
injury
streets
and
updating
our
street
design
guide
to
make
sure
to
support
these
speed
limits.
AB
AB
I
mentioned
the
improvements
on
that
we're
starting
to
make
on
high
injury
streets.
These
are,
I
want
to
just
note
we're
making
expanding
quick,
build
improvements.
These
are
in
dish,
in
addition
to
the
work
that
mike
samuelson
just
spoke
about
in
our
capital
program,
where
we're
funding
miles
and
miles
of
safety
improvements
as
well.
AB
So,
in
addition
to
that
this
year
we
are
moving
proactively
with
some
investments,
what
we
using
paint
and
baller
treatments,
so
one
of
those
is
fairly
soon
we're
going
to
install
a
four
to
three
lane
safety
conversion
on
a
section
of
glendale
avenue
north,
that's
a
high
injury
street.
This
will
be
one
of
the
first
times
we
proactively
installed
a
safety
improvement
like
that
not
connected
to
any
street
resurfacing
project,
so
we're
finishing
up
engagement
on
that
and
plan
to
install
pretty
soon
we're
also
working
to
install
ballard.
AB
So
these
plastic
posts
and
safety
improvements
at
more
than
20
intersections
on
high
injury
streets
this
year
as
well,
and
this
map
shows
sort
of
plans
for
potentially
expanding
that
work
with
dedicated
capital
funding
in
the
future.
To
make
sure
that
we
address
all
of
the
high
injury
streets
that
are
city
owned
in
the
next
two
years
next
slide,
please.
AB
AB
For
this
group
we
are
very
much
working
to
align
with
the
broader
city-wide
conversations
about
public
safety
and
recognize
the
importance
of
centering
equity
and
building
community
trust
within
all
of
those
conversations,
I
also
will
note
that
we
are
beginning
to
study
just
some
technical
aspects
of
automated
and
potential
systems
of
automated
traffic
enforcement,
so
just
better
have
better
understanding
of
what
are
the
trade-offs
and
the
equity
considerations
there.
What
are
the
costs
involved
and
that?
AB
What
are
the
structures
that
we
would
want
to
consider
potentially
around
those
systems,
recognizing
that
future
decisions
would
need
to
be
made,
and
ultimately
we
would
also
need
to
have
legislative
authority
to
do
automated
enforcement
next
slide,
please.
AB
Finally,
I
want
to
end
with
a
couple
just
other
updates,
so
we've
hired
a
new
vision,
zero
engineer,
red
one
adam
who's
is
gonna,
do
great
work.
You
can
see
a
picture
of
him
here,
I'm
very
excited
to
have
him
on
board
from
our
engineering
perspective,
we're
also
working
to
coordinate
a
lot
of
the
vision,
zero
work
within
the
transportation
action
plan,
which
has
some
additional
details
in
a
little
longer
term
time
frame
than
the
vision,
zero
action
plan.
AB
As
I
mentioned,
we
are
updating
the
street
design
guide,
with
a
real
focus
on
vision,
zero,
a
lot
of
important
changes
in
our
procedures
there
are
on
building
streets
are
happening,
and
then
I'm
excited
that
we're
partnering
with
the
university
of
minnesota
next
year
on
a
on
a
pedestrian
safety
project.
Research
project
really
focused
on
how
are
we
improving
safety
at
signalized
intersections,
particularly
for
people
walking?
So
those
are
just
a
few
of
the
updates.
Thank
you
so
much
for
the
time
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
A
I
don't
see
any.
I
know
that
we
all
appreciate
so
much
this
work,
and
especially
the
care
with
that
you
have
taken
to
integrate
this
work
into
our
goals
around
race,
equity
and
seeing
the
numbers
and
the
data
and
the
maps
that
went
into
the
development
of
this
plane
in
the
first
place
are
really
key
to
that
and
really
matching
the
solutions
to
those
data-driven
analysis,
I
think,
is:
what's
yielding
us
such
quick
results
now
that
we
have
all
of
those
pieces
in
place.
A
So
thank
you
for
that
work
and
the
really
strategic
approach
that
was
taken
on
vision,
zero
work,
and
I
will
also
direct
the
clerk
to
receive
and
file
this
item.
So
we
have
two
more
items
left
on
our
agenda,
which
is
the
next
is
item
53,
sorry
54.,
which
is
an
update
on
the
from
it,
is
an
update
from
director
lane
to
give
us
a
sense
of
the
coordination
of
after-action
reports
related
to
the
civil
unrest
that
followed
the
death
of
george
floyd.
AC
Thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
committee
good
afternoon,
for
the
record.
My
name
is
barrett
lane,
I'm
the
director
of
the
office
of
emergency
management
and
I've
been
asked
to
brief
the
committee
on
the
current
status
of
an
after-action
review
of
the
response
to
the
civil
unrest
following
the
death
of
george
floyd,
so
for
context.
The
committee
should
know
that
this
is
not
generally
oem's
function
to
review
the
actions
of
other
departments
in
sort
of
a
spontaneous
faction.
AC
If
we
develop
an
exercise
we'll
manage
that
review
as
part
of
the
exercise
process,
we
also
do
this
as
requests
of
departments,
but
in
generally
each
department
does
its
own
after-action
reviewing.
In
this
particular
case,
the
mayor's
office
has
asked
oem
to
explore
an
enterprise
level
action
after
action
review.
AC
Now,
in
my
opinion,
that
review
should
be
similar
to
that
which
was
produced
following
the
fourth
precinct
protests
in
2015
that
was
conducted
by
the
department
of
justice
at
that
time,
or
the
review
of
the
I-35
bridge
collapse
in
2007.
AC
AC
This
kind
of
review
is
labor
intensive
and
time
intensive
once
the
scope
and
purpose
are
set.
The
reviewing
agency
must
conduct
research
into
the
incident
review
all
the
available
documentation,
including
plans,
policies
and
procedures
related
to
the
incident.
That
team
will
then
identify
and
solicit
information
from
key
stakeholders,
including
the
public
and
then
based
on
that
fact.
AC
With
that
in
mind,
the
mayor's
office
authorized
me
to
contact
our
state
and
federal
partners
and
ask
for
federal
assistance
through
doj,
fema
or
other
agency.
If
that
could
be
made
available
to
assist
in
this
effort,
I
made
a
formal
request
to
the
through
the
state
to
fema
and
was
advised
that
we
would
need
to
wait
until
there
was
a
decision
on
the
presidential
declaration.
AC
The
governor
made
his
request
on
july
2.
on
july.
10
fema
denied
our
request
for
a
presidential
declaration
just
parenthetically.
They
are
considering
an
appeal
from
that,
but
at
the
same
time
they
also
denied
our
request
for
assistance
with
the
after-action
report,
with
that
decision
being
made
around
plan
b,
which
is
to
determine
whether
we
can
engage
a
qualified
contractor
to
conduct
the
review
likely
under
the
leadership
of
internal
audit
as
a
sort
of
internal
neutral
party.
AC
Once
that's
complete,
we
have
authorization
to
proceed,
we'll
identify
resources,
release
the
rfp,
receive
and
review
responses,
select
the
vendor,
negotiate
a
contract
and
start
work.
So
in
preparation
for
today's
meeting,
we
reached
out
to
a
couple
of
contractors:
we've
worked
with
in
the
past
to
try
to
get
a
sense
of
what
this
might
cost
and
base.
AC
Based
on
these
very
preliminary
conversations,
I
would
plan
on
a
budget
for
this
project
of
well
over
the
175
000,
which
is
the
rfp
threshold,
so
we're
certainly
planning
on
an
rfp
and
the
time
of
timeline
of
six
to
12
months
to
produce
the
report
and
just
by
way
of
local
experience.
The
fourth
precinct
aar
after
action
report
was
that
was
published
in
2017
for
an
incident
that
occurred
in
2015..
AC
So
with
that,
we
will
be
working
with
the
city
coordinator
to
develop
that
scope
decide
on
next
steps,
which
may
include
in
fact
returning
to
the
council
for
funding
if
it
gets
to
that
point.
So
that
brings
us
up
to
date
on
the
exploration
of
the
after
action
report
and
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
The
committee
may
have.
R
Thank
you,
president
benner.
Can
you
describe
a
little
more
what
questions
the
after
action
report
is
seeking
to
answer?
I
know:
there's
there's
a
lot
of
different
ways
that
this
kind
of
a
study
could
be
framed
and
I'm
just
curious
sort
of
if
you
can
give
us
a
little
more
sense
of
the
scope.
AC
Yeah,
the
idea
here
is
to
create
a
circumstance
where
we
can
learn
from
the
experience
that
we
just
had.
So
what
we'll
be
doing
is
is
really
looking
for
what
was
intended.
What
actually
happened,
if
there's
a
gap
between
those
two
things
that
we
would
you
know,
identify
that
and
try
to
come
up
with
recommendations
on
how
to
fill
that.
AC
What
we've
been
looking
at
is
something
very
similar
to
what
came
out
of
the
fourth
precinct
and
in
that
it
went
through
a
number
of
different
elements
related
to
the
response,
I
would
say
parenthetically
here,
that
it's
not
the
intent
of
this
review
to
actually
look
at
the
events
surrounding
mr
floyd's
death.
That's
happening
in
other
forums.
This
is
about
the
civil
unrest
that
follows
on
that.
So
there's
a
number
of
different
agencies
involved.
AC
How
did
the
different
agencies
interact
with
each
other
from
a
planning
standpoint
from
an
operations
standpoint,
so
it
would
include
all
of
those
different
dynamic
factors.
A
Seems
unfortunate
that
fema
would
deny
the
request
which
would
have,
within
a
benefit
of
you,
know,
an
external
agency
that
wasn't
directly
involved
in
what
happened.
So
I
appreciate
the
efforts
to
approximate.
The
kind
of
you
know
more
neutral
perspective
that
that,
outside
after
action
report
would
have.
A
I
don't
see
any
so
I
will
direct
to
the
clerk
to
receive
and
file
that
report.
Thank
you,
dr
elaine.
I
think
it
is
important
to
let
the
public
know
where
we're
at
with
this,
and
you
know
the
city's
serious
commitment
to
understanding
what
happened
in
this
situation
and,
as
in
other
incidents,
to
understand
you
know,
potential
recommendations
for
improvement
in
the
future.
So
I
know
the
council
is,
you
know,
ready
to
fully
cooperate
with
all
of
that
and
appreciate
also
the
mayor,
taking
the
initiative
to
get
this
in
motion.
A
Thank
you.
This
brings
us
to
the
end
of
our
discussion
agenda.
We
do
have
one
item
on
the
agenda
for
our
equity
subcommittee.
A
council
vice
president
had
to
attend
to
another
issue,
so
council
member
cunningham
will
take
over
the
chair
for
this
subcommittee
meeting
of
our
race
equity
subcommittee,
and
there
is
one
item
so
councilmember
cunningham.
Thank
you
for
doing
that.
E
Thank
you,
madam
president.
As
you
noted,
the
equity
subcommittee
has
one
item
today
and
this
is
the
regular
update
on
enterprise,
progress
on
the
policy
and
operational
goals
and
the
priorities
that
we
have
identified
in
the
city's
strategic
racial
equity
action
plan
here
to
introduce
that
report
is
our
race
equity
director,
miss
joy,
marsh
stevens,
ms
stevens.
Welcome,
and
the
floor
is
yours.
N
Thank
you
chuck
cunningham.
I
am
joined
here
today
with
nick
campbell,
also
from
the
division
of
race
and
equity,
and
the
two
of
us
will
walk
through
the
presentation
slides
since
we're
at
the
end
of
a
very
long
agenda.
We
thought
about
perhaps
starting
off
with
the
musical
number
but
decided
against
it
and
said
we'll
walk
through
the
information
and,
as
you
stated,
it
is
an
update.
It
is
our
regularly
scheduled
update
for
the
strategic
and
rich
equity
action
plan.
N
You
may
have
noted
that
this
is
just
the
second
update
that
we're
making
this
year.
We
skipped
the
update
that
would
have
been
planned
for
april
because
we're
all
scrambling
around
the
stay-at-home
order.
So
this
is
an
update
that
includes
both
progress
from
our
process,
owners
for
q1
and
q2
of
2020..
N
N
That's
been
provided
to
us
in
many
instances
by
our
process
owners
to
give
you
a
sense
of
the
overall
trends
in
progress
in
implementing
the
sweep,
but
invite
deeper
exploration
and,
through
your
other
engagement
with
process
owners.
If
you
want
to
dig
deeper
into
the
information
in
addition
to
the
slides
that
we'll
walk
through
today,
there
is
an
addendum,
that's
part
of
the
presentation
packet
that
gets
into
a
lot
more
detail
on
many
of
these
process.
Areas
so
definitely
feel
free
to
to
dig
into
that
additional
information
and
follow
up
with
process
owners
as
appropriate.
N
If
questions
if
questions
arise
outside
of
this
meeting,
the
other
piece,
that's
part
of
the
presentation
packet
is
a
document
that
the
division
of
race
and
equity
put
together.
What
is
an
overarching
guide
to
the
strategic
and
racial
equity
action
plan
which
talks
about
the
story
of
the
city
developing
that
plan
and
the
process
that
we
all
walk
through
together
over
the
course
of
about
18
months
and
then,
in
addition
to
that,
is
a
one-pager
that
talks
with
more
detail
about
the
specific
policy
priority
areas
that
are
in
this
rape.
N
They
looked
at
workforce,
spend
data
and
community
engagement
and
provided
some
direction
for
our
internal
departments
to
be
thinking
about
how
we,
as
a
city,
can
respond
to
and
address
racial
equity
in
these
core
areas,
with
workforce.
Looking
at
increasing
the
hiring
and
retention
of
people
of
color.
In
addition
and
indigenous
people
in
the
city's
workforce,
the
policy
that
I'm
sorry
the
process
owner
for
that
area
is
our
human
resources
department
for
spend.
Looking
at
increasing
the
percent
count
of
and
spend
with
racially
and
ethnically
diverse
suppliers
across
all
departments.
N
Ownership
for
this
specific
priority
area
lies
specifically
within
civil
rights
and
procurement,
with
some
assistance
from
the
spin
diversity
perspective
through
our
city
coordinator's
office
under
racially
disaggregated
data.
We're
looking
at
improving
the
use
of
racially
desegregated
data
for
decision
making
in
the
legislative
process
ownership.
N
Our
public
safety,
which
is
a
shared
policy
priority
area
with
health
and
our
police
department,
looks
at
increasing
the
number
of
black
indigenous
and
people
of
color
ages,
10
to
24
years
living
in
high
violence,
areas
of
minneapolis
who
participate
in
high
quality
youth
development
programs
under
housing,
with
regulatory
services
and
and
cped
housing,
specifically
as
the
process
owners
we're
looking
at
reducing
the
involuntary
displacement
in
rental,
housing
for
black
indigenous
and
people
of
color
communities
and
then,
lastly,
for
economic
development,
which
has
ownership
within
cped,
we're
looking
at
increasing
the
number
of
minneapolis
based
business
owner
businesses
owned
by
black
indigenous
and
people
of
color,
and
increasing
that
and
increasing
the
the
entry
and
that
I'm
sorry,
I
had
a
blip
on
my
screen:
increasing
the
businesses
with
bypoc
ownership
that
are
still
in
business
after
five
years.
N
N
There's
process
owners
have
the
are
we're
relying
upon
our
process
owners
to
tell
us
whether
they
feel
like
they're
on
track
to
meet
their
goal
for
our
metrics
of
urgency,
as
well
as
for
our
vital
few
projects.
Whereas
green
is
telling
us
that
everything
looks
good,
we're
exactly
where
we
believe
that
we
should
be
for
our
metric
side.
It's
are
we
actually
demonstrating
a
positive
trend?
Does
the
data
tell
us
that
we're
making
a
positive
progress
and
on
the
vital
few
projects
from
a
work
plan
perspective?
N
Have
we
accomplished
the
tasks
that
we
believe
we
were
going
to
accomplish
at
this
point
if
the
status
indicator
is
yellow?
What
we're
essentially
saying
is
that
the
metric
is
not
trending
positively,
but
we're
pretty
clear
about
why
that's
the
case,
and
we
have
a
strategy
in
mind
in
order
to
help
make
sure
that
we're
that
we
are
reporting
green
at
the
next
reporting
cycle
on
the
vital
few
projects.
N
So,
overall,
what
you're
seeing
is
a
high
level
picture
of
how
our
process
owners
are
reporting
progress
overall
for
the
operational
priority
areas
you're
seeing
or
between
the
operational
and
the
in
the
external
policy
priority
areas?
What
we're
seeing
is
that,
for
the
most
part,
people
are
either
on
track
or
they
are
there
or
they're
reporting,
yellow,
which
again
indicates
a
hopefulness
that
within
the
next
one
to
two
reporting
cycles,
we
will
be
able
to
get
back
on
track.
N
N
K
Okay,
so
good
afternoon,
I'm
chair,
cunningham
and
members
of
the
committee,
I'm
nick
campbell
with
division,
race
and
equity.
I'm
going
to
provide
a
brief
update
on
each
of
the
seven
priorities
in
the
adopted
sweep
so
out
of
an
interest
of
time.
I
won't
be
covering
everything:
that's
happened
in
each
priority,
but
I'll
plan
to
highlight
a
few
key
activities
that
were
accomplished
in
the
past
two
quarters,
as
well
as
highlighted
some
key
work
planned
for
next
quarter
for
each
of
the
priority
areas.
K
The
slides
themselves
do
contain
a
lot
of
information,
so
I
do
hope
it's
something
you
can
come
back
to
and
reference
when,
in
conversation
with
process
owners
around
their
work
implementing
the
the
plan.
As
joy
mentioned,
there
was
also
an
addendum
submitted
as
a
supporting
document
that
contains
even
more
additional
information
contacts
reach
the
priority
areas
I
mean
go
to
the
next
slide.
Please.
K
So
before
we
get
into
the
update,
I
just
want
to
name
that
coven
19
and
the
community
unrest
that
followed.
The
murder
of
george
floyd
have
significantly
impacted
and,
in
some
cases,
delayed
work,
but,
as
you
saw
from
the
status
indicators,
much
of
the
work,
even
if
it
shifted,
still
contributes
to
to
the
goals
in
each
of
the
priority
areas.
K
Next
slide,
please
next
two
slides
actually
so
as
we
look
into
look
to
our
workforce
priority
for
increasing
the
retention
of
black
indigenous
and
people
of
color
in
the
city's
workforce,
there
was
some
additional
data
analysis
completed
for
the
metric
of
urgency
and
the
average
tenure
of
men
of
color
who
leave
the
city,
which
is
the
metric,
was
updated
to
4.4
years.
So
you'll
notice
this
new
figure.
This
new
figure
covers
the
average
world
the
past
five
years
and
therefore
will
be
the
new
baseline
moving
forward
for
future
updates.
K
Next
slide,
please
four
key
activities
to
highlight
from
quarter
one
and
two
hr
supported
listening
sessions
and
safe,
brave
space
conversations
with
employees
regarding
covid
and
the
impact
and
the
impact
the
killing
of
george
floyd
had
on
city
employees
on
a
more
policy
level,
hr
implemented
some
process,
improvement,
changes
to
the
anti-discrimination,
harassment
and
retaliation
policy
and
initiated
respect
minneapolis
a
a
respect
in
the
workplace
initiative
designed
to
reinforce
the
importance
of
a
respectfully
inclusive
workplace.
K
So
this
was
modeled
after
some
examples
and
best
practices
from
several
public
sector
organizations,
including
the
state
of
minnesota,
which
have
similar
policies.
I
can
move
to
the
next
slide
in
quarter.
Three
hr
is
continuing
to
partner
with
department
leaders
to
assess
review,
implement
any
additional
workplace
changes
needed
in
response
to
cover
19
and
george
floyd's
death.
Additionally,
hr
will
be
convening
a
small
working
group
to
prepare
and
present
a
draft
of
the
respect
in
the
workplace
policy
for
review
by
stakeholders.
K
You
can
move
to
the
next
two
slides,
please
for
the
spend
priority,
you'll
notice,
positive
trends
for
both
the
utilization
of
african
american
and
hispanic-owned
businesses
in
the
city's
professional
technical
services
contracts.
There
was
a
slight
decrease
for
native
american
owned
utilization,
but
overall,
this
priority
is
reporting
positive
trends,
move
to
the
next
slide.
In
the
past
two
quarters
procurement
implemented
an
automated
system
for
contracting,
where
contracting
opportunities
were
made
known
and
available
specifically
to
targeted
service
providers
in
specific
categories.
K
K
Looking
to
the
next
quarter,
utilizing
living
city
grant
funds
and
technical
assistance,
civil
rights
and
procurement
will
be
looking
at
ways
to
increase
particip,
to
increase
participation
of
more
service
providers
in
achieving
the
goals
for
this
priority.
K
Let's
move
to
the
next
slide,
please
for
the
data
priority,
which
is
focused
on
improving
the
use
of
racially
this
area.
Data
for
decision
making
in
the
legislative
process
through
the
use
of
a
racial
equity
impact
analysis.
Sorry,
one
more
slide.
K
You'll
see
that
all
of
the
32
rcas
that
required
the
use
of
an
reia
in
quarter,
two
seven
of
them
were
included
and
just
to
note
here,
this
doesn't
include
all
rcas
that
would
require
a
ratio,
equity
impact
analysis
in
quarter
one
and
quarter
two,
but
only
those
that
were
submitted
after
the
date
that
the
reia
was
rolled
out.
K
So,
since
implementation
of
the
racial
equity
impact
analysis
process
was
brand
new
to
the
city,
we
didn't
obviously
have
metrics
for
it,
so
these
numbers
will
be
the
new
baseline
for
future
updates,
and
so
we
have
green
as
the
trend
here,
but
it's
really
just
the
baseline
for
for
future
reporting.
K
And,
lastly,
we
worked
on
developing
some
training
videos,
a
process
guide
and
a
sharepoint
site
to
support
departments
in
implementing
the
reia
process
in
their
work,
and
I
believe
our
process
guide
that
we
developed
is
attached
as
a
supporting
document
to
this
presentation
package
as
we
move
into
quarter
three
in
response
to
the
impacts
of
kovid.
We
are
continuing
to
reach
out
to
departments
and
offering
support
to
ensure
decisions
are
being
made
through
racial
equity
lens
by
using
an
reia.
K
The
division
of
race
equity
will
also
be
working
with
the
office
of
performance
and
innovation
to
enhance
2021
results.
Minneapolis
reporting
templates
to
give
departments
the
opportunity
to
show
how
their
programs
advance
racial
equity
using
an
reia
race
equity
is
also
collaborating
with
internal
audit
to
build
the
racial
equity
impact
analysis
into
the
city
audit
process.
K
So
much
of
the
implementation
of
the
reia
was
focused
on
the
legislative
processing
quarter,
one
and
quarter
two,
so
the
division
of
racist
equity
and
the
clerk
are
still
working
to
develop
the
mechanism
to
track
the
metric
of
urgency
for
this
priority.
K
So
while
there
has
not
been
broad
targeted
outreach
to
abc's
regarding
the
race
equity
impact
analysis,
the
suite
of
resources
and
tools
created
by
raceequity
and
clerk
are
intended
to
support
staff
in
completing
the
rda
process,
including
those
that
support
abc's
in
the
next
quarter.
We
plan
to
build
off
our
work,
implementing
the
reia,
with
departments
to
communicate
available
resources,
trainings
and
job
aids
to
all
abc
staff
and
to
engage
more
deeply
with
abc
staff
during
quarter
three
to
offer
support
and
guidance
on
using
the
tool
on
any
policy
guidance
being
worked
on
by
abc's.
K
Additionally,
we
envision
several
abcs
we'll
be
working
on
some
important
policy
initiatives
over
the
next
several
quarters,
including
community
safety
efforts,
redistricting
neighborhoods,
2020
and
other
policy
related
efforts.
Raceequity
stands
ready
to
provide
rei,
a
support
during
these
engagements
next
slide.
K
Now,
we'll
move
into
an
update
on
the
activities
within
the
policy
priorities
for
the
strategic
and
racial
equity
action
plan.
You
can
move
to
the
next
slide,
so
you'll
notice.
We
do
not
yet
have
data
for
the
metrics
of
urgency
for
public
safety,
which
is
focused
on
increasing
the
number
of
black
indigenous
and
people
of
color
children
living
in
higher
violence,
areas
of
minneapolis
who
participate
in
high
quality
youth
development
programs.
K
So
a
critical
step
in
gathering
this
data
to
better
understand,
city
investments
in
youth
programming,
the
health
department
piloted
a
brief
survey
for
city
funded
programs
to
determine
which
investments
from
2018
were
specifically
youth
development,
both
programs
that
are
directly
implemented
by
city
staff
and
programs
that
city
the
city
contracts
out
to
community
providers.
K
So
the
primary
purpose
is
to
provide
a
one-stop
shop
for
minneapolis
families.
Looking
for
youth
development
opportunities
this
summer,
however,
it
will
also
provide
a
mechanism
to
understand
the
scope
and
landscape
of
youth
development
opportunities
available
this
summer,
which
will
potentially
serve
as
one
of
one
source
of
data
to
discern
if
there
are
sufficient
and
relevant
youth
development
opportunities
in
minneapolis
that
fulfill
the
sweep
public
safety
goal
and
also
would
be
used
for
the
metric
of
the
metrics
emergency
next
slide,
one
more
so
for
the
housing
priority
of
reducing
and
voluntary
displacement.
K
Rental
housing
you'll
notice
a
shift
in
several
of
the
metrics
of
urgency
from
the
last
update,
so
they
there
were
a
few
that
are
no
longer
focused
on
rental,
housing,
tiering,
but
rather
on
program
and
service
outcomes
in
the
targeted
zip
codes,
including
the
number
of
affordable
and
subsidized
rental
units
preserved
and
youth,
stably
housed
and
the
number
of
households
served
and
the
amount
of
and
the
amount
recovered
through.
Legal
aid
have
habitability
cases.
So,
since
this
data
wasn't
captured
in
2019,
these
numbers
will
serve
again
as
the
baseline
moving
forward
next
slide.
K
Looking
at
a
few
key
activities
completed
last
two
quarters
in
this
priority,
the
city
created
and
implemented
minneapolis
gap,
funds
for
housing
to
provide
one-time
emergency
rental
assistance
to
minneapolis
households
who
lost
income
due
to
covet
19.
These
funds
can
be
directly
can
directly
prevent
displacement
by
preventing
eviction
due
to
inability
to
pay
rent
in
partnership
with
lisc
and
land
bank
twin
cities.
The
city
created
the
small
and
medium
multi-family
loan
program
for
the
preservation
of
naturally
occurring
affordable
housing
and
to
support
housing
stability
and
create
a
path
for
possible
tenant
ownership.
K
So,
with
this,
with
the
support
of
this
program,
specifically
land
bank
twin
cities
acquired
five
apartment
buildings
in
corcoran,
neighborhood
of
south
minneapolis,
the
five
buildings
included
69
apartments
with
34
apartments
occupied
and
home
to
about
95
people,
and
the
land
bank
is
working
with,
including
dos
unidos
and
the
residents
to
work
toward
resident
ownership.
K
Next
slide,
please:
in
quarter
three
reg
services
and
cped
will
present
the
opportunity
to
purchase
report
to
counsel
and
draft
ordinance
language,
and
they
will
continue
to
coordinate
with
legal
aid
on
preparing
for
the
end
of
the
eviction
moratorium.
Additionally,
regulatory
services
will
focus
engagement
and
education
efforts
for
the
renter
protection
ordinances
to
renters
and
advocacy.
F
K
Moving
into
the
last
policy
priority
with
which
is
economic
development,
you
can
move
to
the
next
slide
well,
which
is
around
increasing
the
number
of
minneapolis-based
businesses
owned
by
black
indigenous
and
people
of
color,
and
increasing
the
sustainability
of
those
businesses.
K
As
we're
all
aware,
kovid
19
dramatically
impacted
businesses
in
minneapolis,
including
deep
negative
impacts
for
bi-pac-owned
businesses
and
covay.
19
has
also
changed
the
both
the
content
of
the
city's
work
in
this
priority
area
and
the
methods
for
delivering
that
work,
including
program
modifications
for
existing
programs
being
postponed
due
to
the
need
for
new
program,
development
and
limitations
on
proactive
outreach,
given
the
work
from
home
directive
and
health
protocols
restricting
events,
as
well
as
a
surge
in
demand
for
the
city's
small
business
team
response.
K
So
some
of
the
work
that
was
planned
around
metrics
tracking
was
also
delayed,
so
you'll
notice
not
a
baseline,
yet
established
for
these
metrics
of
urgency
next
slide.
Please,
a
few
key
activities
to
highlight
here
from
last
quarter
include
the
implementation
of
the
forgivable
loans
for
businesses
impacted
by
coven
19..
K
This
program
was
open
to
businesses
and
independent
contractors.
Self-Employed
people
and
designated
areas
of
the
city,
including
the
promised
zone,
green
zones,
areas
of
concentrated
poverty
or
50
or
more
residents,
are
people
of
color
and
proposed
cultural
districts
of
the
173
loans
that
were
completed
61
were
were
from
black
black
indigenous
people
of
color.
K
Additionally,
the
city
implemented
emergency
cove
at
19
business,
technical
assistance.
This
short-term
program
provides
resources
for
select
current
vtap
service
providers,
as
well
as
supplemental
providers
to
address
legal
needs,
including
language
and
culturally
specific
providers,
as
well
as
the
needs
of
artists
and
creative
entrepreneurs
of
the
509
businesses
and
nonprofits
served
through
this
program.
K
73
of
the
individuals
with
known
race,
ethnicity
or
bypack,
as
cped,
looks
at
quarter
three,
given
the
changes
in
the
community
context
for
bipod
owned
businesses
resulting
from
kohid
and
the
civil
unrest
staff
plan
to
revisit
and
prioritize
the
activities
that
will
best
support
the
goal
for
this
priority
area,
we
can
move
to
the
next
slide.
K
So
I
know
that
was
a
lot
of
information
still,
but
it
concludes
the
update
on
the
priorities
for
the
strategic
and
racial
equity
action
plan.
I'll
note
that
the
addendum
was
submitted,
which
includes
some
additional
activities
and
context
again
for
each
priority
area.
K
Just
to
note
here,
the
the
next
sweep
update
for
quarter
three
is
scheduled
in
october.
As
joy
noted,
there
are
several
of
the
process
owners
for
each
of
these
priority
areas,
so
I'll
stand
for
questions,
noting
that
they
are
also
present
to
answer
any
specifics
within
each
of
the
priority
areas.
Thank
you.
E
Thank
you
so
much
for
that
presentation.
I
will
note
it
in
the
picture.
My
hair
is
much
shorter,
so
just
how
long
things,
how
long
it's
been
great.
Are
there
any
questions
for
my
for
my
colleagues,
questions
or
comments
from
my
colleagues.
E
Well
I'll
go
ahead
and
ask
a
question,
or
maybe
also
it's
more
of
a
comment
so
I'll
just
share
that
as
someone
who
really
digs
into
the
rcas,
I've
been
really
grateful
to
see
the
racial
equity
impact
analysis
being
included,
but
they
definitely
range
in
quality.
I
will
say
that
the
ones
that
include
the
the
division
of
race
and
equity
are
very
high
quality
examples
that
I
would
like
to
see.
Other
folks
drive
to.
I
guess
you
know
a
question.
E
For
you,
don't
necessarily
have
to
answer
this
right
now,
but
it's
like
how
do
we
incorporate
this
as
an
activity
that
is
worthwhile
to
do
rather
than
just
another
thing
to
check
off
of
the
list,
because
it's
like?
Where
are
the
geographic
impacts?
E
It's
like
they'll,
just
say
this
has
no
geographic
impacts
and
it's
like
well,
when
we
have
policies
that
are
implemented,
they
do
have
geographic
impacts,
whether
it's
explicit
or
not,
right
like
and
so
like
those
sort
of
or
we'll
see
what
the
impact
is
and
then
we'll
know,
and-
and
so
like.
I
just
like
the
kind
of
quality
that
I've
seen
with
those
has
has
been
a
little
bit
disappointing
for
me
as
an
elected
official,
really
wanting
to
incorporate
this
analysis
in
all
that
we
do.
E
This
is
not
a
reflection
of
the
work
that
you
all
have
done.
You
all
have
done
amazing
work,
but
I
think
it's
around
shifting
the
culture
that
this
isn't
like
around
the
enterprise
that
this
isn't
just
another
thing
to
check
off
the
list
so
that
you
can
move
on
to
the
next
thing,
but
that
this
is
meant
to
be
a
deep
contemplative
practice
to
ensure
that
everything
that
departments
are
doing
are
doing
it
through
an
equity
lens.
E
E
I'm
sure
everybody's
pretty
tired
right
now,
but
but
thank
you
so
much
for
all
of
your
work
on
this
and
being
adaptable
during
this
definitely
interesting
and
unprecedented
time
that
we're
in
right
now.
So
with
no
objection,
I
will
direct
the
clerk
to
receive
and
file
that
progress
report,
my
sincerest
appreciation
to
miss
miss
marsh
stevens
and
her
team
for
all
of
the
excellent
work
that
you
all
do,
and
with
that
I
will
turn
the
chair
back
to
you.
Madam.
A
President,
thank
you
councilmember
cunningham,
and
thank
you
to
staff
for
that
presentation
as
well.
That
concludes
the
business
of
our
committee
today.
I
know
that
this
was
a
longer
meeting,
although
we
did
cover
the
content
of
what
is
typically
eight
standing
committees
in
a
pretty
consolidated
period
of
time.
Any
one
of
those
committees
that
I
serve
on
actually
can
sometimes
take
this
long
in
itself.
A
So
I
appreciate
all
the
work
that
went
into
making
the
presentations
share,
important
information
in
the
time
that
we
were
able
to
take
today
and
for
my
council
colleagues
for
for
being
here
and
sticking
with
this
meeting,
and
I
have
been
talking
with
the
clerk
and
many
of
you
about.
You
know
just
checking
out
how
things
are
going
in
our
remote
environment.
A
There
will
be
a
big
announcement
from
the
governor
next
week
about
schools,
at
least
and,
and
I
think
we're
still
looking
to
mdh
in
our
own
health
department,
for
guidance
on
public
meetings
and
our
own
meetings,
as
well
as
the
clerk
in
I.t
and
communications,
for
our
capacity
to
be
able
to
host
remote
meetings,
and
we
are
also,
of
course,
waiting
for
the
special
election
to
add
our
13th
colleague
into
the
mix.
A
I
welcome
those
comments
and
questions,
and
you
know
we
will
likely
really
need
to
work
together
very
well
to
structure
in
a
way
that
does
not
have
11
standing
committees,
no
matter
what
happens
so
that
will
take
compromise
and
dedication
from
all
of
us
to
be
able
to
create
a
structure
that
works
well
for
our
city
in
this
new
environment.
So,
thanks
for
everything,
and
with
that
I
live
unless
there
is
any
objection
or
any
announcements,
I
will
adjourn
this
meeting
and
we
stand
adjourned.
Thank
you.
