A
Good
afternoon,
vice
president
becker
board
members
brett
kelly
interim
director
of
public
works.
This
is
a
the
effort,
is
routine
the
items
change
every
year,
so
we
go
through
a
process
of
closing
capital
projects
and
programs
and
reallocating
or
balancing
appropriations
and
reallocating.
A
B
This
is
usually
routine,
but
it's
important
and
thank
you
public
works
for
doing
the
work
on
this.
I
don't
have
anyone
who
has
any
questions
so
may
I
have
a
motion
to
adopt
the
resolution.
E
E
B
B
Second,
thank
you
so
much
for
proper
motion
before
us
and
and
any
other
discussion
before
the
clerk
calls
a
role.
F
B
Are
four
eyes
motion
passes
and
the
resolution
has
been
adopted
item
six
on
the
agenda
staff
direction,
directing
staff
to
assist
with
with
the
city
of
minneapolis
debt
software
research
project?
This
is
just
staff
direction,
so
I
guess
we're
gonna
do
a
motion
on
it.
Do
you
want
to
speak
to
it?
Tony.
D
Yes,
I
can
certainly
do
that.
Thank
you.
Vice
president
becker
board
members,
just
very
briefly.
Currently
the
city
uses
a
combination
of
excel
workbooks
and
a
piece
of
software
called
muniz
for
most
of
its
debt
database
and
debt
management
and
analysis.
Work
muniz
is
not
compatible
with
windows,
10,
it's
somewhat
of
an
older
technology,
and
so
there's
a
question
as
to
whether
that
remains
a
viable
solution
to
the
city
for
the
long
term.
D
So
I
know
there's
an
interest
from
director
of
banking
debt
and
investments,
hoppy
myself,
others
in
the
city
finance
staff
to
explore
other
software
options
that
might
exist.
D
I
should
say,
of
course,
that
any
software
expenses
that
might
eventually
occur
would
of
course,
have
to
be
approved
at
a
later
date,
but
we
wanted
to
bring
this
staff
direction
forward
to
ensure
the
board
feels
as
a
project
worthy
of
exploration.
F
Tara
becker
miss
alan
hoppe,
director
of
banking
investments
in
debt.
Yes,
we'd
appreciate
the
board
investment
taxation
authorizing
the
senior
advisor
tony
sterl
to
work
with
us
and
on
the
specific
projects.
It's
very
specific
bond
software,
most
likely
on
a
standalone
type
of
thing
that
is
small
compared
to
a
mainframe
type,
big
caliber
kind
of
thing.
Our
software
is
outdated
and
we've
kind
of
given
the
general
nature.
The
scope
of
what
we're
looking
for
here
and
tony
is
able
and
available,
as
we
understand
it
to
work
on
this
project.
B
That
sounds
great.
That
sounds
great
deshaune.
Did
you
want
to
say
anything
or
are
we
good
because
I
see
that
you're
here.
E
I
am
here
vice
president
becker.
My
camera
does
not
work.
I
fully
support
mr
sterl's
assistance
with
this
project.
Awesome
that
sounds
great.
B
I
think
this
is
a
great
idea,
a
great
project,
great,
that
we
have
tony's
expertise
that
the
city
can
draw
on.
So
does
anyone
else
have
any
other
discussion
on
this?
E
B
Four
eyes
motion
passes:
staff
direction
has
been
adopted.
Item
seven
on
the
agenda.
Is
a
resolution
providing
for
I'm
sorry
approving
the
addition
of
accessible
projects
to
the
list
of
projects
to
which
the
board
of
estimate
and
taxation
will
consider
approving
for
the
issuance
of
bonds
that
would
be
for
next
year,
and
so
these
are
additional
projects
that
are
just
being
added
to
the
existing
list
and
those
are
available
in
your
packet.
B
Any
discussion
before
we
make
a
motion
on
this.
Anyone
have
any
issues
with
any
of
these.
B
E
B
Thank
you
so
much.
We
have
a
proper
promotion
before
us.
Is
there
any
discussion
before
the
clerk
calls
the
roll.
E
B
Are
four
eyes
motion
passes?
The
staff
direction
has
been
adopted
with
that
we've
concluded
all
business
to
come
before
the
board.
Before
we
do
adjourn,
I
would
note
that
we
do
have
a
meeting.
That's
been
noticed
for
december
15th,
so
please
check
your
schedule
because
there
is
one
more
meeting.
It's
it's
not
a
the
normal
schedule
for
meetings,
but
it
is
for
next
week.
So
with
that
we
have
no
other
business
before
the
board
without
ejection.
We
stand
adjourned.
B
Thanks
to
everybody,
thanks
to
the
staff,
thanks
for
for
helping
us
pull
this
off,
always
as
usual,
really
appreciated.
