this

The
regular

of
the
lowry
hill
special
service
district
advisory

My
name
is
michael
mclaughlin.
I
will
be

this
meeting
of
the
lowry

special
service
district
advisory
board.
A
Before

local
health
pandemic.
I
will
now

call
the
roll

that
we
may
verify
the
presence
of
a
quorum
board
members.

I

A
C
B
A
B
A
Franken
amagua
aye,
very
good.
The
agenda
in
the
minutes
of
the
prior
meeting
are
approved
as
distributed.
We
have
still
not
been
joined
by
any
members
of
the
public,
so
we
will
table
the
public
comment
period
until
the
end
of
the
agenda.
Should
someone
from
the
public
join
us
and
wish
to
address
the
group?
A
Go
through
this,
so
all
right,
we
went
through
all
of
this,
so
we
are
here
just
wanted
to
hit
a
few
highlights.
So
this
is
the
annual
report
for
last
calendar
year.
This
has
already
gone
to
council
and
been
received
and
filed
wanted
to
spend
just
a
minute
talking
about
recapping.
We
did,
of
course,
the
holiday
lights
on
the
150
light
poles.
A
We
had
just
over
56
inches
of
snow
for
the
year,
both
at
the
beginning.
At
the
end
of
the
year,
we
did
as
part
of
the
pan
and
broom
services,
which
were
done
70
times
throughout
the
whole
year
removed
over
1500
cubic
feet
of
trash.
We
did
a
number
of
other
services
spring
and
fall
cleanups
monthly,
weed
and
debris,
removal,
turf
renovation
and
so
forth.
I'm
going
through
this
quick,
but
please
stop
me.
A
If
you
have
any
questions:
streetscape,
maintenance
and
repair,
we
continued
to
do
the
weekly
graffiti
abatement
on
the
within
the
public,
right-of-way
and
removed
over
1500
instances,
instances
of
graffiti
throughout
the
calendar
year
and
did
continue
to
maintain
the
district's
electrical
system.
All
the
banners
were
inspected
monthly
and
any
issues
dealt
with.
I'm
just
getting
moving
on
and
then
we
removed
over
1700
bags
of
trash
from
the
district's
public
trash
receptacle.
So
that's
a
quick
recap
on
the
services
from
a
financial
standpoint.
This
is
the
the
final
year
in
budget.
A
A
That's
actually
split
into
sort
of
two
sort
of
subpots
and
you'll
see
those
numbers
reflected
in
your
amended
budget
for
2021..
So
there
was
a
substantial
surplus
as
expected
at
the
end
of
last
year
and
then
the
last
piece
of
this
is
just
the
the
service
frontages
for
the
year.
Any
questions
on
the
2020
annual
report.
Otherwise
we
can
move
on
to
2021.,
okay,
moving
on
to
20,
there's
no
action
required
on
that
item.
So
we'll
just
keep
moving
here.
So
this
is
your
amended
2021
budget.
A
A
If
there
was
a
deficit
situation,
the
other
component,
which
is
the
the
flat
rate
component,
we
added
that
to
streetscape
maintenance
and
repair
to
that
line
item
but
know
that
we
have
the
flexibility
to
spend
those
dollars
throughout
any
of
these
other
flat
item
line
items
in
the
budget,
so
just
to
quickly
recap
the
we
are
doing
the
pen
and
broom
twice
a
week
in
the
summer
we
are
emptying
all
the
trash.
Receptacles
are
empty
twice
a
week,
we're
obviously
staying
on
the
mowing.
A
All
the
planting
beds
are
gone
through
every
once
a
week,
pull
out
any
garbage,
remove
any
weeds,
any
pruning,
that's
needed.
If
needed.
We
can
do
watering.
Obviously
it's
been
a
little
dry,
so
we
may
need
to
start
watering
some
of
the
terp
area
depending
on
the
conditions
and
we're
doing
the
graffiti
abatement
still
once
a
week
throughout
the
year.
A
So
our
plan,
unless
there's
additional
guidance
from
the
board,
is
to
continue
with
the
work
plan
that
we've
had
in
place
for
the
last
several
years
in
terms
of
the
work
plan
and
services
for
this
year.
So
I'll
pause
there
and
just
ask
if
there
are
there
any
issues
all
included
in
that
would
be.
You
know
this
prepping
for
the
seasonal
decor
installation
in
the
fall
with
with
the
with
the
garland
and
the
snowflakes
and
so
forth
anything
else.
The
group
would
like
to
accomplish
this
year
from
a
maintenance.
A
Yeah,
that's
a
great
question.
So
sidewalk
are
are
not
part
of
the
special
service
district
scope
of
work
they
could
be,
but
the
past
practice,
as
recommendation
from
the
board,
is
that
they
not
be,
and
so
how
that
is
dealt
the
city,
and
this
happens
everywhere
in
the
city,
where
there's
a
sidewalk.
A
There
is
an
an
inspection
process
and
a
sidewalk
condemnation
process,
and
typically
that
occurs
on
sort
of
a
seven
year
cycle
generally,
where
they
kind
of
move
around
the
city
and
do
their
sidewalk
inspections
and
you've
probably
seen
this.
If,
if
you
know
you
live
in
minneapolis,
your
own
property
you'll
get
a
notice,
hey
your
sidewalk
was
condemned.
There
are
options
for
how
it's
dealt
with.
So
one
of
the
things
that's
happening
right
now,
because
reconstruction
is
in
the
neck
will
happen
in
the
next
few
years.
A
They
have
suspended
any
sidewalk
condemnation,
they've
been
making
patches
where
needed,
to
address
any
life
safety
issues,
but
with
the
thinking
that
it
doesn't
make
sense
to,
you
know,
assess
someone
to
replace
their
sidewalk
when
it's
all
going
to
get
torn
out
in
just
a
couple
of
years.
So
it's
been
very
much
deliberately
as
a
way
to
not
double.
You
know:
double
hit
the
the
property
owner
with
those
costs,
so
that's
been
the
strategy
they
but
appreciate.
The
question,
though,.
B
B
C
C
D
A
So,
just
a
little
bit
beyond
the
scope
for
the
service
district,
but
you
as
a
property
owner.
You
can
replace
that
sidewalk.
Whenever
you
want
and
you
you
are,
the
property
owner,
adjacent
property
owner
is
the
responsible
party.
So
you
may
want
to
address
that
issue,
but
I
would
to
david's
point
I
would
work
with
jim.
They
might
be
able
to
do
an
interim
fix
for
you,
okay,
and
so
you
are,
you
know,
hopefully
more
inoculated,
against
any
kind
of
any
claim.
A
C
B
A
Okay,
2022
included
a
draft
budget
in
the
packet
one
of
the
things
we
do
each
year
for
all
the
districts
is
as
we're
preparing
this
draft
budget
very
much
subject
to
today's
conversation
is
we
kind
of
look
at
where
the
money
was
spent
last
year?
So
what
were
our
actual
costs
of
just
like
a
business?
Would
you
know
like
what
are
you
know?
What
are
our
actual
costs?
What
are
what's
our
run
rate
on
things
so
went
through,
and
this
is
the
draft
budget
we
were
recommending
on
the
on
the
sources.
A
On
the
revenue
side,
our
preference
has
been
just
because
it
has
been
clearly
such
an
economically
challenging
year
for
almost
all
business
and
property
owners
anywhere,
but
we
have
really
strived
to
come
in
with
no
increases
in
service
charges
as
we
go
into
2022,
just
recognizing
the
economic
impact
of
everything.
That's
happened
over
the
last
year,
so
this
draft
budget
does
not
result
in
any
increase
in
service
charges
to,
as
in
total,
to
the
property
owners
within
the
district.
A
So,
and
that
was
accomplished
because
the
group
has
some
surplus,
I
feel
that
we
can.
We
can
reduce
the
snow
assumption
in
the
past.
We
had
we
used
to
assume
60
inches
of
snow
in
budget
for
60
inches
of
accumulation
in
the
in
a
year.
We
then
a
couple
years
ago
dropped
that
to
54
inches
again
with
the
idea
that
you're
carrying
forward
these
surpluses
each
year,
so
the
typical
snowfall
in
the
twin
cities
is
48
to
50
inches
of
accumulation
in
a
typical
winter.
A
A
Therefore,
we
can
drop
this
budget
line
item
accordingly
and
that
allows
you
to
have
a
no
increase
from
a
budgetary
perspective
in
the
service
charges
going
into
next
year.
Beta,
you
know
the
rest
of
these.
Are
I
made
a
couple
other
tweaks.
The
seasonal
decor
is
a
little
bit
more
expensive,
so
I
bumped
that
up,
but
I
adjusted
some
of
these
other
line
items.
But
again
this
would
result
in
in
no
increases
but
still
providing
those
services
that
the
business
and
property
owners
have.
A
A
B
A
Again,
amagua
hi,
very
good.
That
motion
passes
just
like
in
all
prior
years.
That
budget
will
be
incorporated
into
an
operating
plan,
a
proposed
operating
plan
for
the
coming
year.
That
will
be
bailed
to
all
property
owners
within
the
district
in
advance
of
the
public
hearing
that
will
likely
occur
in
october,
so
that
you
know
again,
all
property
owners
would
know
what
the
proposed
budget
is,
what
the
proposed
services
and
in
that
notice
is
their
specific
amount
of
proposed
service
charge.
A
So
all
of
that
would
happen
just
like
it
has
in
all
the
past
years.
With
that
board
administration,
we
have
a
quick
placeholder
here.
We,
the
if
you
haven't,
taken
your
ethics
training.
Please
do
so
as
quickly
as
you
can.
It
is
good
for
four
years,
so
you
don't
have
to
do
it
every
year,
although
it's
not
a
bad
refresher,
the,
and
that,
if
there's
no
further
business
I'll
pause.
If
anybody
wants
to
bring
anything
else
up.
B
B
A
We
have
not
heard
yet
if
there
may
be
any
additional
delays
in
the
project,
so
it
it
may
be.
I
mean
it
sounded
like.
There
was
some
internal
conversations
about
the
timing.
I
think
that's
fair
to
say
from
from
the
some
of
the
public
comments
that
have
been
made
by
the
the
project
planners.
So
we
we
haven't.
No
additional
information
has
been
shared
with
us
internally
at
this
point,
but
I
I
expect
that
with
you
know
yet
this
summer
we
will
hear
more
about
the
latest
on
the
timing.
B
A
They
have
not
the
if
there
are
other
options.
They
have
not
been
publicly
presented
at
this
time
to
like
there's
a
steering
group
or
a
community
committee.
I'm
not
getting
the
title
of
that
correct,
but
that
met
just
about
a
month
ago,
and
there
were
no
additional
options
presented
at
that
meeting,
but
that
doesn't
mean
that
there
are,
there
may
not
be
some
internal
options
being
explored.
A
We
don't
have
any
information
either
way
so,
but
when,
if
and
when
we
get
that
information
we'd
be
happy
to
pass
it
along
to
the
board
members.
So
when,
when
we
receive
it
that
that
that
you
would
receive
it,
we're
happy
to
do
that.
Of
course.
Just
to
help
you
know,
one
of
the
things
we
have
felt
is
the
service
district
can
serve
a
role
in
helping
disseminate
information.
So
that's
certainly
an
appropriate
role
for
for
the
ssd.
So
if
and
when
we
get
that
information
we'd
be
happy
to
share
it.
B
Okay,
yeah:
we
need
to
stay
on
top
of
it
because
if
they
want
to,
if
they
want
to
continue
to
have
us
being
paid,
you
know
we're
at
11
a
foot
on
our
building
right
now
they
want
us
to
continue
that
we
we
have
to
have.
We
have
to
have
parking
for
our
tenants,
so
it's
it's,
it's
a
hugely
important
situation,
and-
and-
and
actually
I
think
that
frataloni
should
weigh
in
on
this
too,
even
though
they
have
a
parking
lot
and
they
shut
off
one
of
the
driveways.
So
it's
it's.
A
Yep,
no,
I
appreciate
it
and
we
you
know
we're
aware
that
there
are
a
lot
of
conversations
happening
within
the
business
community,
so
it
sounds
like
that
is
there's
been
a
robust.
You
know
sort
of
dialogue
internally
within
the
business
community,
at
least
that's
my
sense
of
from
just
talking
to
business
and
property
owners
over
the
last.
B
A
So
we
are
very
much
tracking
that
project
and
appreciate
your
comments
and
feedback,
and
you
know
certainly
encourage
everyone
to
continue
to
stay
plugged
into
to
the
project
planners
to
the
processes
that
they
they
have
in
place
so
and
any
information
we
get,
as
I
said,
we're
happy
to
pass
along
as
as
we
get
it
so
yeah
well,
if
there,
if
there's
anything
else,
otherwise,
we
can
adjourn
here
at
10
30.
If
that's
the
group's
desire.
A
Okay,
well
with
that,
we
will
thank
you
both
for
your
time
and
know
that
we're
at
see
any
maintenance
issues,
anything
that
needs
our
attention.
We're
an
email
text
call
away
we're
in
the
district
very
very
frequently,
so
we
certainly
try
to
catch
things
before
you
even
need
to.
Let
us
know
about
it.
But
if
you
see
anything,
don't
hesitate
to
reach
out
to
us,
not
certain
when
the
next
meeting
will
be,
I
think,
we'll
it'll
likely
be
related
to
the
hennepin
avenue
reconstruction.
