The
regular
meeting
of
the
west
broadway
improvement,
special
service
district
advisory
board
will
now
begin
good
morning.
My
name
is
michael
mclaughlin.
I
will
be
facilitating
this
meeting
of
the
west
broadway
improvement
special
service
district
advisory
board.
Before
we
begin
I'd
like
to
note
that
this
meeting
includes
the
remote
participation
of
members
as
authorized
under
minnesota
statute,
section
13d
.021
due
to
the
declared
local
health
pandemic.
I
will
now
call
this
meeting
to
order
and
call
the
roll
so
that
we
may
verify
the
presence
of
a
quorum
board
members.
B
B
Also
andrew
carlson,
the
third
member
of
our
team
is
not
able
to
join
us,
but
I'll
note
that
david
bauer
with
the
city
of
minneapolis
is
also
here
today,
and
I
will
note
as
of
right
now
we
do
not
have
any
guests
from
the
public
that
have
joined
us
or
called
in
there
being
a
quorum
of
advisory
board.
Members
present,
we
will
proceed
with
the
meeting
the
if
desired.
The
advisory
board
may
adopt
today's
meeting
a
draft
meeting
agenda
and
draft
minutes
to
the
last
meeting
in
one
action.
B
B
B
C
B
And
again,
james
scott
and
tara
watson
are
not
present
at
this
point.
The
agenda
and
the
minutes
to
the
prior,
the
agenda
to
today's
meeting
and
the
minutes
to
the
prior
meeting
are
approved
as
distributed
next
on
the
agenda.
Is
the
public
comment
period
again?
We
have
no
one
that
has
called
in
from
the
public,
so
we
can
table
that
item
until
the
end
of
the
agenda.
B
B
The
see
I'm
gonna
go
down
here
so,
but
by
all
means
it
is
a
public
meeting
and
public
members
of
the
public
are
welcome
to
join
we.
This
is
just
to
note.
This
is
likely
one
of
the
last
remote
meetings
we
will
have
with
the
group.
We
are
only
able
to
meet
remotely
because
of
the
declared
local
health
pandemic.
B
Once
that
declaration
ends
or
expires,
we
will
then
resume
in-person
meetings
and,
just
like
we
were
doing
prior
to
the
pandemic
and
again
those
those
meetings
would
be
posted
in
the
same
manner
as
as
current
meetings
coming
back
to
the
discussion
items.
The
first
item
we
wanted
to
spend
just
a
couple
minutes
on
was
the
2020
annual
report.
This
was
included
in
the
packet.
This
is
also
gone
to
city
council.
B
This
follows
the
format
we
had
used
in
in
the
prior
year,
but
it's
updated,
so
you
can
see
that
you
know
again.
We
just
provide
a
quick
overview
of
the
district
list
of
the
advisory
board
members,
the
role
of
the
advisory
board
in
terms
of
recommending
you
know
desired
services,
levels
operating
plan
and
budget.
You
know
that
we
look
to
the
board
to
to
help
make
recommendations
on
all
those
items.
B
We
removed
just
over
21
000
cubic
feet
of
trash
from
the
district
12
trash
receptacles,
the
district
maintained
trash
receptacles,
and
I
I
noticed
I'll
nuance
that
by
saying
there
are
other
public
trash
receptacles
that
are
not
included
in
that
number.
So
this
is
just
the
number
that
the
service
district
incurred,
the
cost
to
maintain.
B
In
november,
we
obviously
put
up
the
the
seasonal
decor
that
the
districts
had
for
the
last
couple
years
and
we
removed
that
and
store
that
for
the
off-season
in
february,
and
just
doing
this
quickly
but
happy
to
answer
any
whoops.
Let
me
zoom
in
here
financially
the
district
had
an
amended
budget
of
187
962
dollars
for
the
year.
The
actual
expenses
were
137
438.
B
So
there
was
a
surplus
of
50
524
from
the
year-end
calendar
year,
as
has
been
the
practice
of
the
board
since
the
inception
of
the
district.
Those
funds
were
carried
forward
to
the
current
budget
year
and
you'll,
see
it
in
your
amended
budget
for
this
current
year
for
2021.
In
just
a
moment
where
that
those
50
50
524
is
available
to
spend
on
services
this
year
and
or
summer,
all
of
it
can
be
carried
forward
to
next
year.
B
D
B
D
B
We
we
are
not
aware
that
that
was
a
stat
that
that
the
west
broadway
area
coalition
tracked
in
the
years
that
it
was
self-managed
we
have.
We
do
have
a
number
for
2020,
but
we
did
not
calculate
it.
In
the
same
way,
we
were
using
a
different
methodology
and
I'm
quickly
looking
for
our
2019
annual
report.
D
Yeah,
I
I
just
looked
at
the
2019
annual
report
and
it
did
not
have
a
statistic,
but
I
know
that
that
we
were
tracking
the
pounds
of
trash
removed
annually.
But
I
don't
have
my
my
documentation
doesn't
show
reports
before
2019
so
to
know
whether
or
not
that
that
was
a
statistic
of
metric.
We
had
available.
B
So
that's
why,
if
we
were
not
furnished
the
number
we
didn't
have
it
to
include
if
it
exists,
if
you
guys
are
aware
of
it
existing
in
in
the
records
of
the
west
broadway
area
coalition
by
all
means,
it
would
be
helpful
to
have
that
because
these
are
the
types
of
metrics
that
we
are,
as
you
can
see,
tracking,
not
only
for
your
district,
but
all
the
districts,
because
it
is
a
helpful
tool.
Just
to
you
know
what
did
we
do
in
one
year
versus
another?
D
D
B
Yeah,
it's
it's!
It's!
It's
basically
fresh
cut
material,
so
it
it's
not
it's
a
one
type
of
use.
Just
because
of
you
know
what
it
is.
It
just
won't
survive
it
dries
out
and
it's
just
not
practical
to
reuse
it
and
honestly,
sometimes
we
aren't
able
you
know
by
the
end
of
the
season
it
it
can
start
looking
kind
of
dry
because
the
needles
fall.
It's
essentially
like
a
christmas
tree
kind
of
if
you
will
or
any
kind
of
live
holiday
decor
you
might
have
at
a
home.
B
D
Yep,
yes,
I
I
agree
with
you
kb
they
did
cover
the
quarter,
they
sounds
like
they
were
broken
up.
They
didn't
my
understanding
in
speaking
with
the
gentleman
this
past
week
or
so
there's
a
crew
of
10
or
12,
and
they
start
at
the
west
end
and
they
work
all
the
way
to
the
east
end
on
mondays
and
fridays,
and
that
was
that
was
the
input
they
gave
me
as
to
as
to
how
they
operate.
E
Well,
that's
partially,
because
we
between
me
and
the
bike
club,
we
actually
pay
someone
else
to
clean
in
front
of
the
the
capri
my
shop
and
around
that
that
curve.
Okay,
we
we
pay
that
person
weekly
okay
out
of
our
pockets,
because
it's
not
getting
done
so.
Okay
and
when
we
we're
not
able
to
do
it,
we
actually
we
actually
took
one
of
the
young
guys
that's
in
the
apartment,
building
next
door
and
basically
gave
him
a
job
since
the
people
that
were
supposed
to
be
doing
it
are
not
doing
it.
E
B
E
A
D
And
I
I
I
I
kb
am
similar.
I
I
employ
somebody
from
the
apartments
on
a
daily
basis
to
do
our
perimeters
as
well,
and
we
can
address
the
the
the
level
of
service
and
the
frequency
of
the
service
as
we
move
along
michael.
I
think
we
we
do
want
to
address
the
frequency
I
think
more,
since
we
do
have
a
surplus.
I
think
it's
an
opportunity
for
us
to
increase
the
frequency
for
the
avenue.
D
B
B
The
so
in
the
packet
and
on
the
screen
is
the
amended
budget
for
this
calendar
year.
You
see
the
the
original
budget
was
a
hundred
and
forty
four
thousand
seven.
Eighty
eight,
you
see
the
surplus
from
twenty
year
in
twenty
twenty,
a
fifty
thousand
five
twenty
four
for
budgetary
purposes.
We
split
it
between
two
light
items
but
know
that
those
dollars
are
flexible
and
that
we
can
spend
them
on
any
of
the
four
categories
in
any
amount.
B
You
know
up
to
the
fifty
thousand
five
twenty
four,
so
we
just
split
it
between
litter,
debris,
management
and
streetscape
maintenance,
and
then
so
you've
got
your
amended
budget
of
195
312
here,
so
we
can
actually
continue.
I
was
going
to
mention
that
we
are
doing
as
we've
already
discussed
the
pain
and
broom
twice
a
week,
which
was
the
original
frequency
recommended
by
the
board,
starting
for
the
year
in
2020.
B
B
Unfortunately,
in
a
number
of
cases
we
do
have
people
pull
the
plants
out
and
they'll
throw
them
on
the
ground,
so
we
pick
them
up
and
if
they're
still
there
and
we'll
put
them
back
in
the
planter,
so
any
pruning
that's
needed.
The
main
thing
is
watering
and
removal
of
any
litter.
That's
been
placed
in
the
planter.
B
D
D
We've
got
some
some
visual
blight,
I
believe,
especially
down
near
the
94
west
broadway
bridge
corridor,
with
a
lot
of
rusting
and
just
blight
of
visual
aesthetics,
as
as
our
entryway
into
west
broadway.
That,
I
think,
should
should
receive
some
attention
to
to
spruce
it
up
and
make
it
more
attractive
and
inviting.
B
David's
got
was
just
out
a
couple
days
ago
and
took
some
fresh
pictures
that
we
can.
We
can
show
the
group,
they
definitely
are
all
planted
and
they
all
had
spruce
tips
in
them.
For
the
winter,
at
least
any
district
maintained
planters
there
may
be,
some
businesses
may
have
their
own
planters.
We
wouldn't
maintain
those,
of
course.
D
C
B
Well,
certainly,
we
can.
We
can
increase
it,
it's
a
little
tough
to
do
in
season
and
we've
had
districts
because
of
everything.
That's
happened
just
for
context.
We've
had
some
districts
who
have
who
haven't
historically
had
planters
who
have
added
them,
and
we
have
just
because
of
everything
going
on.
We
have
definitely
run
into
challenges
both
with
suppliers
being
able
to
provide
even
enough
plant
material,
let
alone
the
planters
and
the
lead
time,
but
it's
certainly
something
weak.
B
If
the
group
said
we
want
a
dozen
more
planters,
we
could
certainly
work
do
everything
we
can
to
get
them
in
place
for
next
spring.
You
know
for
next
growing
season,
just
given
the
reality
of
supplies.
Right
now,
in
terms
of
of
you,
know
third-party
providers,
but
by
all
means
that
is
something
you
could
do.
We'd
probably
want
to
have
a
little
bit
of
a
conversation.
You
guys
have
some
planters
that
were
funded
via
various
grants
over
the
years.
B
Our
light
pole
mounted
planters
that
wrap
around
the
light
pole
and
they're
about
they're
installed.
You
know
sort
of
10
feet
in
the
air
or
so
so
that
you
know
you
provide
you
get
that
visual
aesthetic
of
you
know
sort
of
the
the
plants
flowing
down,
but
without
them,
sort
of
necessarily
being
in
to
some
degree
in
harm's
way,
meaning
in
the
right
on
the
sidewalk,
where
people
can
kind
of
come
at
them,
so
definitely
could
continue
with
the
sidewalk
planter.
B
B
B
Here
I
got
one
now:
this
is
a
there,
that's
the
one
I
was
just
about
to
pull
up,
so
this
is
an
example
to
be
clear
not
in
minnesota.
This
is
a
different
climate,
so
their
growing
season
is
a
little
longer
than
ours,
but
here's
an
example
of
this
is
the
style
we're
going
to
be
doing
in
two
other
districts.
B
We
tend
to
like
these
because
they're
right
around
the
pole,
so
there's
less
risk
of
them
falling.
Quite
honestly,
they
bolt
to
one
another.
You
can
see
these
downtown.
The
did
has
a
number
of
these
throughout,
like
first
avenue
and
in
other
sections
of
downtown,
so
you
can
see
examples
of
these
in
minneapolis
and
our
thinking
would
be
to
to
replicate
those.
So
that's
an
example
and
then
unit
cost
so
to
buy
it
to
install
it.
B
The
first
year's
sort
of
soil
planting
material,
all
the
anticipated
watering,
we're
probably
in
that
750
to
a
thousand
dollars
per
location
per
se
for
the
season
to
be
clear.
So
that's
that's
not
just
the
cost.
To
put
it
in,
that's
watering
and
everything
taking
it
out
at
the
end
of
the
growing
season,
and
I
should
be
clear:
we
do
have
the
ability
to
also
put
in
those
spruce
tips
in
these
for
the
winter,
so
they
can
provide
a
year-round
greening
benefit
so
that
that
750
to
1
000
number
includes
12
months.
D
B
Before
it
kb
before
you
go,
if
the
board's
comfortable,
do
you
get
we're
really
looking
for
a
budget
recommendation
for
next
year
and
if
we
lose
kb,
we
lose
our
quorum
and
we're
not
going
to
be
able
to
take
action.
Is
the
group,
a
draft
budget
that
essentially
is
status
quo
from
an
expenditure
standpoint
was
included
in
the
in
the
packet
the
I
would
submit
because
of
the
amount
of
surplus
that
you
rolled
over
from
last
year
and
the
surplus
we
would
anticipate
from
this
year.
A
D
D
D
D
D
B
D
I
would
recommend
it's
gonna,
be
after
the
fourth
of
july
weekend
between
my
busiest
week
of
july
or
of
the
summer
comes
up
next
week
and
plus
various
other
sundays.
So
I
would
appreciate
if
we
could
do
it
somewhere
between
the
fifth
and
the
ninth,
that
would
be
my
recommendation.
What
does
your
schedule
look
like
justin.
C
A
B
D
D
Okay,
that
sounds
good
all
right.
Well,
I
have
not
heard
back
from
dr
watson,
and
so
I
don't
feel
the
need
that
we
should
waste
any
more
time
if
we
can't
conduct
business.
Thank
you,
gentlemen.
We'll
look
forward
to
a
rescheduled
meeting.
Obviously
you've
heard
some
commentary,
so
I
think
it
will
help
frame
our
next
meeting
and
perhaps
keep
us
more
on
track
for
the
agenda
you
want
to
get
through.
