Description
Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board Committee of the Whole 2021 Budget Retreat Meeting
B
B
C
B
B
The
agenda
carries
at
this
point.
I
will
in
a
moment
just
turn
it
over
to
the
superintendent.
Thank
all
commissioners
who
are
here
for
attending
on
the
second
day
of
our
budget
retreat
right.
We
learned
a
lot
yesterday,
got
a
lot
of
information
and
I'm
hopeful
that
folks
can
weigh
in
and
provide
some
guidance
on
our
subject
areas
this
evening
as
we
move
into
our
budgeting
process,
especially
given
the
fact
that
we
do
have
a
meeting
with
the
mayor
on
Monday
it'll
be
critical
that
we
we
get
some
some
feedback.
B
E
Night,
it
is
a
beautiful
day
out.
I
have
a
great
view
of
the
amazing
weather,
but
hopefully
I,
look
forward
to
the
meeting
today.
I
look
forward
to
our
discussion
and
getting
the
input
from
all
of
the
commissioners.
All
of
you
on
this
budget
for
2021
I
wanted
to
again
welcome
you
and
and
a
reminder
that
and
hope
that
you
attained.
We
obtained
the
board
input
as
we
began
to
plan
for
the
2021
budget.
G
So
again,
the
2020
budget
framework
is
really
a
staged
approach
to
respond
to
the
ever-changing
conditions
of
2020,
based
on
the
koba's,
the
corona
virus
pandemic
of
in
nineteen,
as
well
as
the
standard
closures
and
cancellations
of
buildings
so
again
stage.
1
was
our
immediate
actions
that
we
took
and
those
were
all
implemented
on
April
3rd.
G
So
our
stage
two
items
are
modification
of
revenue
estimates
we
are
continually
updating
those
and
all
of
those
items
are
in
process
or
ongoing.
We,
of
course,
are
modifying
our
programs
and
services
to
be
held
virtually
or
to
not
violate
social
distancing
requirement.
We
are
looking
at
everything
that
came
out
yesterday
so
that
we
can
start
providing
programs
and
services
to
our
communities
of
that
in
process.
We
are
continuing
to
look
for
state
and
federal
release.
G
So
item
B
is
the
conversation
around
the
general
fund.
One-Time
fund
balance
authorization,
so
these
are
all
board
authorizations
and
I
have
started
to
have
a
conversation
with
the
board
about
what
those
items
are.
What
the
remaining
balances
are
and
have
a
conversation
with
the
board
around
returning
some
of
those
funds
to
the
fund
balance
in
order
to
be
used
for
current
operating
purposes.
G
So
item
3
is
the
internal
loan
repayment,
so
those
have
all
been
loan
repayments
and
trans.
Those
all
have
been
completed.
They
have
been
put
on
hold
based
on
the
superintendent's
authority
and
I
will
be
bringing
resolutions
to
the
board
to
confirm
those
in
June
and
then
number
four
is
the
capital
rehabilitation
project,
Enterprise
Fund.
We
are
continuing
to
look
at
the
capital
projects
and
that
fund
and
determining
which
ones
can
be
delayed
or
realigned.
G
So
there
were,
there
were
a
couple
of
things
that
I
have
heard
consistently
from
this
board.
I've
heard
that
we
wanted
to
ensure
that
we
were
looking
at
every
possible
item
we
wanted,
so
that
we
would
not
be
impacting
personnel
cost.
So
we
wanted
to
look
at
contractual
services.
We
wanted
to
look
at
our
fund
balances.
We
wanted
to
look
everywhere
so
kind
of
leave
no
stone
unturned.
G
So
that
is
the
process
that
we've
been
going
through
for
2020.
A
wage
freeze
for
all
full-time
and
part-time
employees
is
under
consideration,
so
that
is
on
the
table,
but
it
has
not
been
enacted.
The
inactivation
of
provisional
employees,
who
do
not
have
work
assignments
that
has
begun
employees
have
provisional
employees,
have
been
placed
on
layoff
status
to
be
called
back
when
work
becomes
of.
G
Although
we
have
fault
that
some
of
those
employees
are
ready
to
to
work
in
the
golf
operation
and
so
that
that
process
is
is
working
and
then
we
have
implemented
a
voluntary
budgetary
leave
that
I'm
calling
it
a
first
request
that
has
been
completed
and
employees
have
submitted
and
been
approved
for
budgetary
leave.
They
have
donated
eight
thousand
three
hundred
and
twelve
hours,
which
is
going
to
save
over
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
2020.
So
we
are
very
appreciative
of
employees
who
voluntarily
put
in
budgetary
leave.
G
G
We
began
the
process
when
we
adopted
the
budget
framework
and
we
will
continue
refining
and
looking
at
2020
and
working
on
2020
monthly,
as
we
provide
financial
status
updates
to
the
board
and
further
financial
discussions
monthly
at
the
board
meeting
and
then
finally,
number
two
is
the
2021
annual
budget
which
this
and
tonight's
a
big
piece
of
that
for
information
gathering.
So
our
budget
retreats
and
the
draft
2021
budget
framework
will
help
guide
us
as
we
begin
our
conversations
around
the
21
books.
B
B
From
commissioners,
you
could
use
the
raise
hand
feature.
Are
there
any
questions
from
commissioners
about
the
budget
framework
which
is
precipitating
our
next
consideration
around
returning
access
fund
balance
any
questions?
This
is
maybe
in
another
subject
area
as
well,
but
you
mentioned
that
the
wage
freeze
has
not
begun.
Yet.
Why
is
the
wage
freeze
not
begun.
G
E
You
know,
president
president
kögel
and
commissioners,
sorry
about
that
yeah.
This
is
something
that
we
are
now
exploring.
You
want
to
I
know.
We
were
lining
ourselves,
we're
looking
at
what
the
city
was
doing,
and
we
are
now
into
that
discussion
on
the
next
steps
towards
the
wage,
freeze,
I,
think.
A
lot
of
this
was
also
looking
at
our
current
state
and
looking
at
our
projections
in
budget
and
making
the
best
decision
for
the
organization,
and
so
I
believe
that
a
wage
freeze
is
something
that
we
are
now
looking.
I
B
E
Coal,
Gil
and
commissioners,
what
it
is
I
think
for
us
is
that
we
as
we're
looking
at
the
numbers
and
looking
at
our
budget
going
forward.
We
were
really
working
through
the
budget
process
and
saying
where
our
numbers
would
be
lying
and
what
the,
where
the,
what
the
total
would
be
at
the
end
of
the
or
projecting
out
what
would
be
the
budget
looking
forward
to
2020
and
how
it
would
impact
the
organization
so
as
we're
going
through
our
numbers,
I'm
looking
at
them
and
I.
E
Think
that
we're
clear
more
clear
about
the
numbers
and
what
we
need
to
do
to
move
forward
and
what
would
be
the
best
decision
for
the
organization
for
for
not
only
our
employees,
but
what
the
best
decision
would
be
for
for
budget
impact
and
I.
Think
the
wage
freeze
is
an
option.
That's
out
there,
based
on
the
numbers
that
we're
seeing
in
the
budget.
Currently,
okay,.
J
Thank
you
for
that
answer.
Superintendent,
Mingora!
Are
we
also
talking
since
we
are
going
through
the
motions
of
figuring
out
how
wage
freezes
will
work
in
2020?
Are
we
also
talking
about
wage
freezes
for
2021,
as
well
with
our
Union
staff
and
other
other
partners
in
negotiating
of
wage,
so
that
we
can
ensure
that
we're
able
to
perpetuate
that
as
we
understand
more
and
more
about
criminal
virus
and
which
the
w-h-o
saying
that
they
expect
this
virus
to
be
endemic?
At
this
point,
I
think
it
behooves
us
to
plan
in
that
way
for
2021.
J
E
J
B
E
So,
it
is
to
say
it
is
really
not
only
myself
but
director
Wiseman's
recommendation
that
the
board
strongly
consider
moving
these
items
back
into
the
fund
balance
to
fund
the
current
year
operations,
and
as
we
look
forward
to
numbers,
you
will
kind
of
see
what
the
impact
will
be
for
our
for
our
our
year-end.
Are
your
operations
so
with
that
I'm
going
to
now
turn
this
over
to
director
Wiseman.
G
So
for
the
general
Sun
excess
fund
balance
allocations,
you
receive
this
document
yesterday.
I
walked
you
through
it.
So
at
this
point,
I
am
open
for
questions
and
your
thoughts
and
input
around
what?
If
any
of
these
items
and
what
items
you
would
be
comfortable.
Moving
back
into
general
fund
fund
balance.
J
You
very
much
president
Google
sort
of
a
few
questions
about
what's
being
requested
here
for
the
comprehensive
plan.
The
remaining
balance
that
we're
sending
back
is
is
that
allowing
this
work
to
continue
through
this
year
and
we're
just
scaling
back
some
of
the
work,
or
can
someone
elaborate
on
what
impact
this
will
have
on
the
comprehensive
plan
planning.
K
President
coalition
usage
to
date,
most
of
the
comprehensive
planning
work
has
been
done
using
the
internal
resources
of
staff.
Okay,
I've
engaged
some
our
consultants
and
we
have
a
youth
design
team,
that's
been
working
and
our
ability
to
continue
funding
that
exercise
might
be
impaired
if
these
funds
were
removed
from
the
project
budget.
K
J
K
Of
the
workers
have
even
occurring
some
of
the
work
was
early
on
I'm,
trying
to
orchestrate
new
methods
of
reaching
out
to
the
community.
Some
of
that
work
happened
in
2019,
but
as
we
put
together
policies
and
seek
ways
of
communicating
back,
I
think
we'd
be
really,
and
the
community
connectors
help
us
do
that.
J
K
J
G
J
F
J
All
right,
thank
you,
I'm,
sad
to
see
we're
not.
We
would
potentially
not
be
able
to
do
the
outreach
coordinator
for
forestry.
It's
something
that
I
feel
is
so
incredibly
important
for
us
to
do,
particularly
as
we
see
the
need
to
start
scaling
back
expenses
related
to
operations.
So,
while
I
understand
that
this
year's-
probably
not
the
best
year
to
try
to
launch
a
new
volunteer
coordination
effort,
I
really
hope
my
colleagues
would
be
supportive
of
keeping
or
adding
that
to
the
budget
for
2021.
J
G
D
You
participant,
okay,
first
of
all
to
thank
staff
for
I'm
going
through
these
details
and
finding
these
potential
allocations
that
we
can
make
I'm
supportive
of
all
of
them.
The
comprehensive
plan,
though,
is
probably
the
one
I
had
the
greatest
desire
to
continue,
so
that
would
be
the
one
thing
that
I
would
prefer
to
keep
and
in
complete
that
plan.
D
K
L
I
L
Now
I'm
I'm
trusting
the
superintendent
that
he
will
chase
the
non
realized
funding
from
the
city
of
Minneapolis
for
the
tree
preservation
coordinator,
like
a
dog
after
a
bone,
and
this
might
be
the
first
year
in
a
number
of
years
that
the
city
has
fulfilled
their
promise
on
that
I'm
hopeful.
That
will
happen,
but
a
lot
of
these
are
the
things
that
again
like
an
ordinance
review,
a
cultural
training,
language
access
plan.
L
We
have,
in
effect
hundreds
of
fewer
people
on
the
front
lines
right
now
being
managed
and
supervised
and
coordinated
by
the
same
number
of
people
that
is
required
to
supervise,
managed
and
coordinated
larger
workforce.
So
I'm
just
I'm
hopeful
that
before
we
start
looking
at
before,
we
start
looking
at
some
things
that
we
have
a
critical
need
for.
L
We
really
start
looking
at
how
many
people
are
managing
how
many
people
at
this
point
and
that's
a
really
difficult
conversation
to
have,
because
those
are
real
human
beings,
but
I
think
we
owe
it
to
the
taxpayers
of
Minneapolis
to
make
sure
that
our
system
is
lean,
and
it's
it's
hard
for
me
to
justify
right
now,
sending
hundreds
of
people
that
carry
chainsaws,
lawnmowers,
clipboards
for
coaches,
sending
all
those
folks
home
but
having
the
same
dollar
amount
dedicated
towards
administration
and
supervision.
That's
just
really
hard
for
me
to
reconcile
so
I.
Don't
know!
L
B
I
M
Thank
You
president
Coquille
I
just
had
a
comment
after
commissioner
Barnes
statement
about
you
know
certain
staff
being
a
little
bit
more
necessary
than
management
and
I.
Just
think
now
that
roles
and
responsibilities
at
the
park
board
have
changed
since
Koba
19
and
what
I'm
finding
is
that
managers
do.
Managers
are
doing
a
lot
more
of
the
provisional
staff.
The
lot
more
of
the
work
that
provisional
status
is
to
do
so.
G
Yes,
I
I
wanted
to
just
provide
a
little
clarification.
There
is
the
there
is
a
group
here
where
it
says
items
can
be
completed
within
the
budget
or
with
internal
staff.
So
one
of
the
items
that
I
have
consistently
heard
from
this
board
is
that
we
should
be
continuing
to
looking
at
our
contractual
services
and
identifying
those
things
that
can
be
done
with
internal
staff
and
do
those
things
with
internal
staff
rather
than
spending
money
on
contractual
services
and
I.
Think
this
category.
G
B
B
B
L
L
This
is
what
we're
elected
to
do
and
we're
gonna
find
our
calendar
there's
going
to
be
a
slate
of
cuts
coming
up
at
our
next
meeting.
If
I'm
understanding
your
intent,
president
kögel's
now
is
the
time
to
give
input
and
the
amount
of
silence
that
I
heard
last
night
and
the
amount
of
silence
that
I'm
hearing
tonight
is
just
I'm,
hoping
that
we
all
choose
to
weigh
in
a
little
bit
more
on
this.
B
G
E
Thank
you
for
alerting
me
to
that.
Thank
You
president
Kokila
commissioners
I
appreciate
that
so
now
we're
gonna
do
is
we'll
start
shifting
back
to
our
2021
budget
discussion
and
so
director
Wiseman
is
going
to
present
the
NPR
B's
various
revenue
sources
and
the
risks
to
those
revenues
due
to
Koba
19
or
the
pandemic,
and
also,
of
course,
around
the
economic
recession.
So
with
that,
I
will
turn
it
over
to
director
Weitzman
to
walk
us
through
those.
G
G
Rows
and
I've
now
added
this
final
row.
It's
it's
too
bad
that,
were
you
know
it's
it's
too
bad
that
we're
here.
I
did
talk
through
this
last
year
and
a
lot
of
this
I
plowed
on
here
was
based
on
economic
conditions
based
on
dependent
on
economic
conditions,
dependent
on
economic
condition
and
now
going
into
2021.
I
G
G
G
Charges
based
on
Park,
it's
dependent
on
Park
usership,
never
did
I.
Imagine
that
it
was
going
to
be
based
on
what
is
allowed
and
what's
not
allowed
due
to
a
pandemic
and
due
to
service
level
changes
based
on
stay
at
home,
orders
and
social
distancing
requirement.
We
quickly
learned
how
volatile
that
revenue,
stream
and
source
is
during
this
uncertain
next
column
and
city
funding.
We
have
ordinances
that
direct
our
city
funding.
G
Talk
about
their
commitment
to
the
common
talk
about
their
commitment
to
the
twenty,
your
neighborhood
Park
plan,
but
definitely
keeping
an
eye
on
eye
on
those
type
of
revenues,
its
funding,
the
legislative
funding
again
with
decreases
the
state
income,
taxes,
taxes,
sales,
taxes,
the
large
deficits
that
the
state
is
facing
that
can
impact
the
amount
of
money.
Again,
that's
provided
to
the
park
board.
We
are
provided
money
through
local
government
aid,
we're
provided
money
through
operations
and
maintenance.
Lottery
louison
met
Republican
politics,
consul
Barnes
legacy
funds.
G
All
of
those
funding
sources
can
be
impacted
based
on
based
on
these
conditions
and
then
finally,
grants
and
donations.
That's
really
dependent
on
funders
and
the
economic
recession
is
impacting
their
ability
to
hold
their
fundraisers
their
ability
to
raise
money,
so
that
will
impact
what
is
available
to
the
MPR
be,
and
it
potentially
could
change
the
whole
grants
and
the
donation
landscape.
G
E
President
kögel
and
commissioners,
what
I
do
know
and
I
can't
fully
speak,
of
course
with
foundation.
But
what
I
do
know
is
that
the
foundation
and
the
board
is
looking
for
looking
toward
looking
into
the
future
understanding
the
same
challenges
that
really
every
organization
is
going
through
and
philanthropic
organization.
E
So
what
they're
doing
is
they're
starting
to
rethink
and
reimagine
the
next
year's
on
what
the
board
will
kind
of
campaign
around
and
so
whether
it
could
be
river
first
project
still
that
exists,
possibility
of
a
park
system
and
how
we
look
at
our
facilities
as
incubators
of
imagination
and
creation.
Potential
they've
talked
about
making
that
make
sure
the
park
board
is
the
most
sustainable
and-
and
you
know,
looking
at
our
carbon
footprint
and
looking
at
the
idea
about
sustainability
and
our
ecology.
So
there
they're
doing
that.
E
Now
the
board
is
working
through
that
now
again
they're
just
in
the
beginning.
Phases
of
this
and
I
know
that
the
executive
executive
director,
Tom
mirrors,
can
give
more
context
around
that,
of
course.
But
I
know
that
the
board,
the
foundation
is
looking
towards
the
future,
how
they
can
be
sustainable
and
how
they
can
be
impactful
to
the
city,
Minneapolis
and
our
park.
Visitors.
D
D
Yeah
I
don't
think
there
was
any
perspective
of
that,
but
they
were
pleased
they
did
do
whatever
it's
called
anyway,
one
of
the
fundraisers
that
just
recently
what
they
called
anyway
and
we're
very,
very
pleased
in
the
response,
so
I
think
that
they're
still
as
an
appetizer,
but
you
know
you
know
how
the
economy
is
going
to
impact
philanthropy-
is
an
unknown
that
express.
Thank
you.
Thank.
E
All
right,
Thank,
You,
president
kögel
and
commissioners,
so
as
we
so
what's
gonna
happen
now
is
the
director
Weisman
is
now
going
to
walk
us
through
current
service
level.
Discussion
and
after
we'll
be
asking,
of
course,
the
board
the
commissioners
to
provide
input
around
what
we
should
be,
what
we
should
consider
when
developing
the
NPR
V
current
service
level
budget
for
2021.
E
G
So,
as
we
plan
for
the
2021
budget,
we
are
entering
in
the
budget
price
process
in
the
myth
of
a
health
and
economic
crisis.
I've
heard
words
like
uncertain,
unstable,
unstable
and
unpredictable
that
describe
our
current
condition
with
unknowns
around
the
pandemic
duration
along
social
distancing
requirements,
a
lot
if
we
will
have
or
when
we
will
have
more
stay
at
home,
orders
our
continued
revenue
shortfalls
and
again
the
economic
recession.
G
This
is
a
chart
that
that
I
provided
at
yesterday's
presentation.
This
is
a
current
service
level.
Look
as
if
the
pandemic
and
the
recession
we're
not
happening
so
this
is
this
is
what
we
would
need
to
provide
our
current
service
levels
in
2021,
so
the
same
level
of
service
that
we
use
to
build
2020,
we
would
use
to
build
2021
again
we're
showing
the
planned
rejection
reduction
in
local
government
aid
that
we
currently
know
about
and
increases
to
full-time
and
part-time
wages
is
based
on
actual
contracts,
union
contracts.
So
there's
no
wage
freezes.
G
Built-Ins
ensure
calculated
at
a
5%
increase
all
of
these
things.
If
all
of
this
was
in
place,
we
would
need
to
lobby
a
maximum
property
tax
levy
increase
of
6.3%
in
the
general
fund
for
2021,
when
you
start
to
look
at
the
potential
impact
of
covin
on
our
current
service
levels
and
the
impact
of
the
recession.
And
if
you
look
at
a
combined,
you
see
varying
levels
of
budget
gas
with
a
worst-case
scenario:
point
that
we
look
at
of
6.1
million
dollars
as
a
deficit
that
we
would
be
going
into
our
2021
budget
process
with.
G
So
it
will
require
extremely
difficult
conversations
and
deliberation
by
both
staff
and
the
executive
team
and
the
board
the
plan
for
this
potential.
So
one
of
one
of
the
conversations
that
I
wanted
to
have
with
this
board
is
potentially
maybe
developing
two
budgets
for
2021,
just
because
of
all
the
unknowns
that
are
happening
with
the
pandemic
and
with
the
recession,
and
you
know
be
prepared
for
the
worst-case
in
their
scenario,
but
maybe
work
on.
G
You
know
another
scenario
at
the
same
time,
so
that
when
we
get
closer
to
budget
adoption,
we
are
prepared
to
have
those
conversations
and
discussion
when,
when
more
is
known
before
I
open
it
up
to
conversations,
I
do
want
to
talk
about
our
system
expansion.
So,
during
a
this
troubling
time
and
during
an
economic
recession,
we
have
to
deal
with
the
expansion
of
our
system.
These
are
things
that
have
already
been
committed
to.
G
These
are
things
that
are
major
acquisitions
and
construction
that
are
happening
and
there's
costs
associated
with
them,
and
during
last
year's
budget
we
were
building
some
of
those
operational
costs
into
our
current
service
level,
obviously
for
2021
with
the
köppen
pandemic.
We
don't
feel
that
there's
an
ability
to
build
that
into
our
current
service
level
this
year.
We
would
first
want
to
analyze
and
adjust
and
change
to
support
the
needs
of
these
new
or
areas
based
on
the
current
economic
climate
and
the
coded
service
levels
and
readjust
them
during
the
current
pandemic
time.
B
J
That
really
would
struggle
to
pay
to
have
experiences
in
the
private
sector.
So
I
don't
know
exactly
how
much
of
the
budget
beyond
just
the
land
acquisition
reserve
is
made
up
of
expenses
of
that
variety.
But
we
may
want
to
look
at
those
as
being
things
that
we
removed
from
our
2021
budget
and
then
consider
again
in
future
years
to
allow
us
to
keep
the
amount
of
additional
cost
that
we're
asking
taxpayers
to
pick
up
smaller
for
this
budget
year.
J
B
L
Thank
You
president
cool
Gil,
virtual
Wiseman
I,
think
I
missed
when
you
were
explaining
the
different
columns
on
this
chart.
So
so
6.3
is
our
projected
after
it
was
adjusted
for
what
we
were
anticipating
losing
in
LGA.
Are
these?
Are
these
recessions,
these
0.68?
The
this
0.68
number?
Is
that
what
we're
is
that?
What
we're
expecting,
then,
that
is,
if
we
have
a
six
point,
three
percent
levy
increase
based
on
the
smaller
property
tax
base,
or
am
I
taught
it
or
did
I
totally
miss
what
you
were
saying
there.
G
G
So
anything
between
zero
and
six
point.
Three
would
give
us
some
other
number
as
a
gap,
but
we
are
estimating
that
we
will
have
a
gap
because
of
copán
related
impacts
as
well,
that
we
would
have
a
gap
to
deal
with.
Even
if
we
did
the
six
point.
Three
percent
property
tax
levy
increase
for
next
year,
so.
L
So
I
think
I
understand
recession
and
combined
column.
So
so
we
under
that
the
horizontal
Rose
the
very
first
time
this
journalist
on
property
tax
levy,
increase
63.
Then
it
goes
to
0.68
and
point
six.
Eight
that
point
six
eight
is
what
we
would
realize
if
we
levied
a
0%
increase,
because
just
the
tax
base
would
go
up.
G
President
coco
and
commits
are
born
it'll
be
a
little
bit
clearer
when
we
get
down
to
the
maximum
property
tax
levy
increase
from
in
2001
in
2021.
We
are
forecasting
a
reduction
in
our
tree
preservation
and
reforestation
levy,
and
so
with
the
combined
with
the
combined
levies
being
zero.
It
gives
us
a
little
bit
of
money
in
the
general
fund,
I.
L
Think
it
makes
sense
and
I
trust
you
that
it
will
get
clearer
as
we
go
forward.
I
don't
think
I
have
an
appetite
in
for
something
that
is
pretty
likely.
We're,
probably
we're
very
likely
going
into
a
recession.
I,
don't
know
if
I
have
an
appetite
for
6.3
percent
I
think
we
have
a
lot
of
times
used
rhetoric
about
people
losing
their
homes
around
property
taxes,
but
at
this
point
I
think
people
are
going
to
be
losing.
L
B
J
Thank
You
president
Koval,
maybe
it
would
help
us,
you
elaborate
it
on
what
sort
of
guidance
you're
looking
for.
Are
you
looking
for
specific
areas
of
the
budget
that
people
would
like
to
see
us
examining
in
terms
of
cutting
things?
Are
you
looking
for
a
different
property
tax
levy
percentage
number
from
folks
like
what?
What
specifically
are
you
asking
us
for,
because
I
think
the
question
you're
asking
is
a
bit
open-ended
and
that's
probably
why
you're
getting
a
lot
of
silence.
G
At
this
point,
when
we
get
to
the
conversation
about
the
2021
budget
framework,
that
is
where
I
will
be
wanting
a
lot
of
input
around
kind
of
guidance.
On
the
you
know
the
structure
of
our
budget
process
and
what
makes
sure
that
we're
covering
everything
that
you
want
us
to
be
looking
at.
You
want
us
to
be
looking
at
so
I
think
we're
gonna
continue
to
have
conversations
throughout.
I
J
B
B
So
I'm,
just
looking
at
these
spreadsheets,
the
the
difference
between
the
Cova
19
and
the
the
current
estimated
2021
budget
is
just
in
our
revenues.
Essentially
right.
It's
so
current
service
level
is
referring
to
what
we
were
doing
or
what
we
were
hoping
or
planning
to
do.
Pre
kovat,
it's
not
what
is
actually
current.
It's
done!
That's
maybe
a
misnomer.
Is
that
correct,
because.
G
B
Yep,
that's
the
question
that
I
have
is,
is
I
mean
it's
soon
here,
but
we
kind
of
need
to
be
thinking
about
what
is
current
service
level
for
2021
is
not
suddenly
getting
back
up
to
what
we
were
doing.
Pre
kovat
is
a
new
thing.
I
think
I
think
it
should
be
a
new
thing,
a
new
account
where
we're
at
now.
G
G
Really
for
her
current
service
level,
we
do
need
to
understand
the
impacts
of
COBIT
to
our
services
and
then
refine
and
redefine
what
our
service
levels
will
be
based
on
this
new,
this
new
environment
that
we
are
living
in.
So
when
we
get
to
the
framework
conversation,
we
will
start
having
some
conversations
framing.
G
What
are
the
board's
commitment?
What's
the
board's
commitment
when
we
are
looking
at
at
doing
this
and
refining
and
as
we
refine
this,
we
may
come
to
understand
that
that
we
don't
you
know
we
don't
go.
We
don't
need
a
6.3
percent
property
tax
levy
increase,
especially
if
we
put
in
a
wage
freeze
and
that
wage
freeze
goes
to
the
end
of
2021.
C
Thank
You
president
kögel
I
think
maybe
one
additional
piece
that
I
would
add
is
thinking
about
the
difference
between
a
COBIT
impact
and
a
recession.
Impact
is
that
this
koban
19
impact
shows
you
based
on
people's
ability
to
pay
for
us
to
be
able
to
do
programs
that
people
would
be
paying
for
essentially
what
the
impact
would
be,
but
that
koban
19
impact
doesn't
actually
provide
any
relief
to
the
property
owner
in
and
of
itself.
C
So
you
have
to
include
both
some
element
of
the
recession
column,
as
well
as
some
element
of
the
copán
19
column.
In
order
to,
on
one
hand,
assume
that
we
will
be
will
have
some
reduction
in
programs.
That
would
be
super
super
program
as
well
as
provide
some
relief
to
property
owners.
You'd
have
to
do
some
combinational.
D
D
B
G
G
G
K
A
I
I
B
B
B
E
Thank
you,
president.
Coal
gala
commissioners,
so
the
next
part
of
our
agenda
is
going
to
be
around
the
maximum
maximum
property
tax
levy.
Discussion
director
Weissman,
of
course,
will
provide
an
overview
of
property
taxes
for
the
city
Minneapolis,
and
then
what
we'll
do
is
we'll
have
a
discussion
with
Tricia's
about
your
thoughts
around
what
the
MPR
fees,
maximum
property
tax
levy
request
should
be
for
2021.
So
with
that,
I
will
turn
this
over
to
director
Wiseman.
G
Thank
You
president
kögel
and
commissioners
I'm,
going
to
start
just
with
a
little
bit
of
background.
The
board
of
estimate
and
Taxation
is
the
body
that
sets
the
maximum
property
tax
levy.
It
was
created
in
1919
by
a
state
legislature,
nature.
There
is
a
membership
of
six,
the
mayor
or
a
designee,
the
city
council
president,
the
chairperson
of
the
Ways
and
Means
Budget
Committee
a
park
and
recreation
for
commissioner
and
then
two
members
that
are
elected
citywide
as
required
by
state
law.
G
The
board
of
estimate
and
Taxation
sets
the
maximum
property
tax
levies
for
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
the
Minneapolis
Park
and
Recreation
Board,
the
Municipal
Building
Commission
and
the
public
housing
authority.
The
board
is
also
entrusted
to
incur
in
debits
indebtedness
for
the
municipal
purposes,
on
request
of
the
City
Council
in
2020,
the
city
of
Minneapolis
as
a
whole
had
a
six
point:
nine
five
percent
increase
in
property
taxes
over
20
2019,
the
minneapolis
park
boards
combined
levy
increase
with
five
five
point:
seven,
three
percent.
G
The
park
board
is
18.6
percent
of
the
total
city
tax
hi
and
then,
if
you
look
at
all
jurisdictions
for
property
taxes,
the
park
board
is
eight
cents
on
every
dollar.
When
you
look
at
all
of
the
taxing
jurisdiction,
last
year
we
had
dropped
to
seven
cents,
a
dollar
we're
back
up
to
eight
cents
on
the
dollar,
because
the
school
levy
decrease.
G
There
are
several
factors
that
change
or
that
affect
the
impact
that
a
property
tax
levy
increase
has
on
a
particular
property
owner
the
tax
base,
composition
within
the
property
classification.
So
any
change
between
the
classifications
of
residential,
commercial
or
rental
properties,
the
tax
rate
for
the
jurisdiction,
the
grocer
decline
and
the
values
of
the
property
within
the
jurisdiction.
The
property's
place
in
X
increment
financing
districts
are
coming
out
of
increment
financing
districts
and
then
improvements
through
a
property.
G
G
When
we
look
at
a
maximum
property
tax
levy,
options
for
2021
I
have
included
the
köppen
19
impact
to
show
the
deficits
of
a
potential
at
different
levels.
So
the
first
one
shows
the
six
point:
three
percent
property
tax
levy
increase
for
the
general
fund.
It
shows
the
decrease
for
the
tree
preservation
and
reforestation
fun.
So
a
combined
levy
increase
of
five
point.
Five
percent
would
provide
us
with
the
current
service
level
amount
without
koban
impact
factoring
in
koban
impact.
G
We
would
have
a
two
point:
four
million
dollar
deficit
out
of
five
point:
five
percent
of
tax
increase.
If
we
reduced
our
request
to
4%,
it
would
equate
to
a
four
point:
eight
percent
increase
to
our
general
fund.
The
decrease
in
the
tree
preservation
fund
would
give
us
an
overall
increase
of
4%.
Our
budget
gap
would
be
three
point:
four
million
and
then
again
at
a
zero
percent
property
tax
levy
increase.
G
It
gives
us
a
very
slight
increase
in
the
general
fund
due
to
the
fact
that
the
tree
preservation
and
forestation
fund
is
going
down,
and
we
would
have
a
six
point.
One
four
million
dollar
deficit
going
into
our
budget
development,
so
at
this
point,
I
will
open
it
up
to
commissioners
and
I
know.
This
is
a
tough
conversation
to
have
without
having
a
conversation
around
what
would
be
cut
or
what
wouldn't
be
cut.
But
you
know,
unfortunately,
when
we
start
having
conversations
with
the
mayor
and
conversations
with
the
beach
be
et.
G
This
is
going
to
be
the
number
one
talking
point:
what
is
the
board
thinking?
What
is
the
board
feeling
what
direction
potentially?
Is
this
board
going
to
take
around
property
taxes,
understanding
that
it
will
mean
budget
reductions
in
2021
which
we
will
have
to
work
through
during
our
budget
process?.
B
Thank
You
director
Wiseman
for
that
overview,
I
think
the
ask
here
is
pretty
clear.
We
have
a
few
example
levels
here
like
to
hear
from
commissioners
what
their
approach
is
and
what
their
initial
thoughts
are
around
property
tax
levy
as
we
move
into
this
budgeting
process.
So
with
that
I
will
open
up
to
commissioners
for
comment.
A
I
A
We're
going
to
make
some
really
tough
decisions
over
the
next
couple
months
and
I.
We
need
the
people
of
Minneapolis
to
help
us
make
those
decisions
and
we're
asking
them
to
pay
for
those
decisions
that
we're
gonna
be
making
and,
and
so
I
would
just
want
federal
commissioners
to
really
think
about
how
much
money
we're
gonna
ask
for
the
people
of
Minneapolis
backseat
pay
for
something
today.
You
know
it's
coal
bit
right,
it's
these
are
just
clap.
This
is
just
collateral
damage
from
a
pandemic,
so
I
just.
J
J
J
N
Thank
You
president
Carville
I
I
to
have
reservations
about
an
increase
or
even
four
percent,
or
even
three
percent
drastically
different
times
and
where
we
were
last
year
or
the
previous
year.
I
think
we
need
to
be
allied
to
the
taxpayers
and
continue
to
provide
services
and
look
back
at
ourselves
to
see
what
we
can
better
and.
I
N
L
I
G
A
L
I
hate
to
sound
like
the
old
person
just
kind
of
talking
about
the
old
days,
but
we
had
a
lot
of
difficult
conversations
during
those
zero
percentage
years
and
at
the
time
my
colleagues
and
I
were
able
to
and
I
think
some
of
us
that
are
on
the
board.
Now
we're
able
to
increase
the
services
that
we
cared
about
in
in
a
0%
in
0%
years
and
in
those
0%
years,
it's
less
than
inflation.
So
it
is
a
real
cut
and
it's
it's
a
very
hard
conversation
in
and
how
we
got
around.
That
was
we.
L
We
really
took
a
deep
dive
into
administration
and
clipboards
versus
lawn
mowers
and
shovels
and
whistles
for
coaches,
and
we
were
able
to
we're
really
able
to
cut
a
lot
of
administration.
That
I
don't
think
it's
back
at
the
same
level
that
it
was
pre,
though
0%
years,
but
that
administration
level
has
crept
and
crept
and
crept,
and
we
do
have
we
we've
got
some
room
even
in
a
0%
year,
I
believe
we
have
some
room
to
expand
the
services
for
youth,
that
this
board
is
all
proclaimed
that
we
care
about
and
still
protect.
L
The
taxpayers
of
Minneapolis
in
in
boom
times
I
will
be
the
first
one
to
advocate
for
a
property
tax
increase
which
I
have
the
last
several
years,
but
I
think
I
think
there's
a
way
to
expand
the
things
that
we
care
about
and
find
some
pretty
significant
cost
savings
by
sharpening
our
pencils
I'm
going
in
and
looking
at
the
looking
at
the
administration,
so
I'm
all
for
funding,
kids
and
lawnmowers
and
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
other
things
that
we
do,
that
aren't
kids
and
lawnmowers.
Thank
You
president
kögel.
D
Thank
You
president
Coco
I'm
heartened
by
the
fact
of
how
important
our
parks
have
been
in
this
time
of
the
pandemic
and
and
I
mean
so
many
people
who
are
other
states
that
are
friends
of
mine.
Commenting
about
my
gosh
guys
are
continually
in
the
news
and
so
I
feel
that
there
is
a
still
a
pallet
for
us
to
provide
the
services
that
we
have
been
I
think
it
should
be
prudent
bill.
We
should
be
looking
at
a
reduction
and
I'm
I'm,
just
going
to
say
to
look
for
splitting
it.
D
M
You
president
Coquille
I
too,
am
NOT
a
fan
of
asking
taxpayers
to
pay
more
at
this
time.
I
do
want
us
to
try
to
maintain
our
service-level
I.
Also
again,
I
keep
advocating
for
us
to
you
know,
have
someone
that
could
potentially
look
at
opportunities
for
us
to
we
find
funding
in
other
places
and
I
mean
I.
Think
like
there
may
be
some
opportunities
coming
up
for
us
to
find
funding
on
federal
level
to
figure
out
some
of
these
programs.
M
I
B
Well,
I
I
appreciate
that
I
I
too
insensitive
to
the
double-edged
sword
here
and
certainly
the
six
point.
Three
percent
levy
requests
would
be
and
I
think
at
this
time,
given
what
we
do
know
and
all
the
unknowns,
an
undue
burden
on
our
taxpayers.
I
also
think.
On
the
other
end,
a
zero
percent
increase
is
a
substantial
hit
to
the
men
and
women
that
take
care
of
this
system
and
I
think
something
closer
to
the
middle
I
heard
for
for
the
top
level
less
than
three
from
another.
B
I
A
Wiseman
hi,
what
would
what
won't
be
the
best
best
case
scenario?
What
would
be,
what
would
be
a
good
increase
for
you
in
the
worst
case
scenario?
What
would
be
if
you
are
you
prepared
to
answer
that
question
or
or
just
be
real
general?
You
don't
have
to
like
you
know,
keep
their
nail
on
the
head
just
just
trying
to
get
it
just
trying
to
get
a
reference
point
either.
G
G
G
E
So
our
final
conversation
of
the
evening
is
the
presentation
on
the
the
draft
for
the
2021
budget
framework,
and
so
just
as
you
know,
the
board
considered
and
adopted
the
2020
budget
framework
to
guide
the
MTR
be
and
its
responds
to
the
court
to
the
Cova
19
pandemic.
We're
presenting
this
draft
for
the
board
to
consider
and
use
it
as
a
guide
for
the
2021
budget
development
director
Weitzman
will
present
the
draft
for
the
2021
budget
framework
and
then
we
will
have.
I
E
G
C
C
H
B
H
B
H
A
B
Is
they
built
after
work,
the
first
two
floors
they
they
built
in
the
70s
because
it
was
I
got.
This
guy
was
like
a
usually
built
prison
because
there
was
all
this
concerned
about
like
protesters
and
rioting
and
stuff,
so
they
built
this
like
very
brutalist
building
I.
Think
partly
they've
been
response
to
that
which
is
sort
of
ironic.
Because
do
you
think
of
thousands
kind
of
a
more
of
an
activist
school
but
I.
F
N
N
H
A
B
A
J
I
can
tell
you
what
I've
read
about
this.
If
anyone
cares
to
have
me
weigh
in
the
the
school
riots
that
were
happening
in
the
70s
are
what
drove
the
Minneapolis
Public
Schools
Board,
to
approve
the
schools
being
built
without
windows
because
they
found
the
shatterproof
glass
costs
to
be
too
high
little
little.
Did
they
know
that
not
being
able
to
see
outside,
probably
would
make
people
more
likely
to
riot
than
they
will
to
see
nature,
but
yeah.
B
G
President
Cole
killing
Commissioners
again,
this
is
the
draft
2021
budget
framework
and
just
as
it
is
a
draft,
the
reason
for
switching
the
presentation
is
I
thought
of
a
new
direction
and
I
felt
we
were
missing
from
this
list.
So
I've
added
one
I'm
going
to
walk
you
through
this
document
before
I.
Do
that
I
want
to
really
apologize
to
the
public
that
I
didn't
and
now
that
all
of
the
documents
that
we
are
going
through
today
are
on
the
public
support
for
public
web
site
at.
G
So
again,
the
Minneapolis,
Park
and
Recreation
Board
is
entering
the
2021
budget
process.
In
the
midst
of
a
health
and
economic
crisis
we
are
uncertain
about
when
the
corona
virus
pandemic
will
will
ease,
and
there
continues
to
be
instability
and
unpredictability
associated
with
this
crisis.
The
negative
impact
to
the
local
and
national
economies
will
be
felt
long
after
the
health
crisis
subside
along
with
social
distancing
requirements,
stay
at
home
orders,
stay
faith,
orders
that
we
have
now
and
current
revenue
shortfalls
economic
impacts
resulting
from
this
health
crisis.
G
At
this
point
certain
to
occur,
the
board
understands
that,
in
an
economic
crisis,
the
MTR
be
will
need
to
consider
all
aspects
of
speech
across
production
and
budget
shift.
The
following
Draft
2021
budget
framework
provides
a
guide
for
budget
development
during
this
uncertain
pandemic
and
economic
time,
so
the
first
tip
framework
is
really
around
strategy
and
performance
measures,
so
the
board
remains
committed
to
the
2018,
to
2022
strategic
direction
and
performance
goals
and
direct
that
may
be
a
guide
to
budget
development
within
a
reduced
revenue
and
social
distancing
environment.
G
So,
just
as
the
commissioners
have
discussed
earlier
this
evening,
the
direction
around
youth
investment
attraction
around
environment-
all
of
those
things
remain
important.
Our
proposed
budget
packages
must
be
linked
to
a
strategic
direction
and
a
performance
cost
and
proposed
cuts
should
not
increase
the
disparities
and
funding
between
service
areas
that
were
intended
to
be
addressed
by
strategic
directions
and
performance.
G
The
next
framework
items
see
the
board,
supports
employee
engagement
and
would
like
to
ensure
that
employees
voices
are
heard
and
considered
during
the
2021
budget
process.
We
provide
information
sessions
throughout
the
budget
process.
Information
with
our
employees.
We
have
chaired
missioner,
but
in
2021
we
are
expanding.
G
So
this
gets
to
the
heart
of
some
of
the
conversations
you've
already
had
where
we
need
to
reshape
the
MPR
B
organization
structured
to
meet
the
service
needs.
We
need
to
define
our
service
delivery
and
realign
staff
as
needed
with
the
goal
of
providing
the
least
impact
to
staff.
We
need
to
limit
reductions
and
staff
needed
to
deliver
refined
services.
So
we
need
to
focus
this
through
wage
freezes
and
voluntary
budgetary
leaves.
G
So
that's
item
D
and
then
the
new
item
that
I
added
this
afternoon
is
that
the
board
remains
committed
to
the
20-year
neighborhood
park
plan
and
the
continuation
of
the
10.5
million
dollar
annual
investment
in
the
rehabilitation
and
capital
improvements
from
our
neighborhood
park
system.
The
board
recognizes
the
need
to
remain
flexible
during
periods
of
recession
and
understands
that
capital
construction
in
those
periods,
as
the
potential
stimulate
the
economy,
result
a
more
attractive
bond
interest
rates
and
may
drive
bid
more
favorable
for
capital,
construction
and
rehabilitation.
G
B
B
G
The
president,
kögel
and
commissioners
item
a
is
really
a
structured
around
the
strategic
direction
and
board
goals.
So
that's
where
we
discuss
and
we'll
make
sure
that
we
are
not
creating
disparities
within
those
areas
that
this
board
has
remained
committed
to.
So,
for
example,
we
want
to
protect
the
youth
investment,
the
work
that
this
board
has
done
to
increase
the
investment
in
youth.
We
want
to
protect
it
during
this
type
of
a
budget
cycle.
The
racial
equity
component
is
our
work
toward
improving
racial
equity
throughout
our
system.
G
Our
racial
equity
work
plan
drives
a
lot
of
that
work,
but
in
the
budgeting
process
we
have
included
the
racial
equity
lens
anytime.
We
have
a
budget
request
or
a
budget
impact
so
that
we
make
sure
we
are
being
mindful
of
what
the
consequences
or
unintended
consequences
would
be
guarding
racial
equity.
B
B
F
B
Population
of
people
experiencing
homelessness,
who
are
in
or
adjacent
to
our
parks
throughout
the
system.
Very
often
right
now,
that's
an
issue.
That's
going
to
continue
to
be
something
that
we
need
to.
We
have
a
moral
obligation
to
respond
to
and
I
think
something
that
be
included
in
our
consideration
for
the
2021
budget
framework,
even
as
we
are
facing
these
kinds
of
cuts.
D
D
Somewhere
in
there
I
feel
that
we
should
be
making
a
commitment
to
nurture
the
partnerships
that
not
only
we
have
right
now,
but
also
to
be
seeking
out
the
resources,
hopefully
the
federal
resources,
the
state
resources
that
are
going
to
be
coming
as
a
result
of
the
pandemic.
I
think
that
is
is
so
important
for
us
to
be
nurturing
all
of
those
things.
I
mean
I,
I,
hope
the
stimulus
package,
the
cares
package,
whatever
is
it's
something
that
we
can
benefit
from
and,
and
you
know,
I
keep
on
talking
about
it.
B
B
B
J
You
president,
go
go.
This
budget
framework
looks
good
to
me.
Thank
you
for
all
the
work
you
put
into
it
I,
especially
appreciate
that
we're
trying
to
stay
committed
to
what
we
set
our
goal
as
a
board.
That's
that's
really,
nice
to
see.
I'm,
gonna,
I'm
gonna
hope
that
my
colleagues
silences
attract
endorsement.
That
was
this
framework.
C
Was
just
Thank
You
president
Covino
commissioners
I
was
just
going
to
encourage.
Sometimes
it's
also
helpful
to
tell
us
if
there's
something
in
here
that
you
absolutely
don't
like
and
that
you
absolutely
would
be
disappointed
if
we
spent
any
time
working
working
in
that
particular
area.
So
we
commonly
think
of
this
as
what
do
we
do
like,
but
it's
also
helpful
to
say
what
you
don't
like.
So
if
there's
something
in
there
that
you
just
couldn't
live
with
as
something
that
would
be
part
of
a
framework
that
would
be
helpful
to
know.
M
You
president
Covino,
this
framework
looks
good
to
me
as
well.
I
would
just
ask
that
staff
is
okay
with
having
a
little
time
to
process
and
maybe
reach
back
out
in
the
next
couple
days
or
so
early
next
week.
It's
just
really
hard
for
me
to
concentrate
at
home.
Two
nights
in
a
row
is
doing
a
long
week.
So
in
my
process
like
after
the
fact,
so
is
there
an
opportunity
for
me
to
get
feedback,
maybe
early
next
week.
M
B
Thank
You
vice
president,
all
right,
seeing
no
other
comments
from
commissioners.
Thank
you
for
presenting
the
budget
framework
director
Wiseman
and
thank
you
again
for
this
entire
presentation
at
this
time.
I
don't
know
if
there
are
any
other
general
comments
or
questions
from
commissioners
before
we
end
this
meetings
evening.
B
I
A
Just
want
to
just
kind
of
expand
on
when
I
was
talking
about
earlier
and
just
I
want
all
the
commissioners
to
really
think
about
the
people
who
work
in
our
parks
on
the
day
to
day
basis
and
impact
the
kids
and
the
old
folks
and
the
young
folks
and
the
middle-aged
folks
who
come
in
our
parks
and
hang
out.
And
then
those
are
the
people
who
are
going
to
be
mostly
affected
by
some
of
the
decisions
that
we're
going
to
be
making.
A
So
I
want
people
to
have
those
folks
in
their
mind
when,
when
they're,
coming
up
with
suggestions
and
coming
up
with
ideas
or
how
we
can
make
our
park
system
survivable
through
alcohol
there,
so
just
just
want
to
get
that
back.
Hug.
Okay,
say
thank
you
for
all
your
work,
director,
Wiseman
and
everybody
else
on
staff.
Thank
you
for
all
the
work
that
you're
doing
in
such
trying
times.
E
B
E
Yep
Thank
you
