B
Good
afternoon
welcome
to
the
regular
meeting
of
the
business
inspections,
housing
and
zoning
committee
for
today
january
19th.
I
am
lisa
goodman
and
I
am
chair
of
the
committee.
As
we
begin
I'll
note
for
the
record.
The
meeting
has
remote
participation
by
members
of
the
city,
council
and
city
staff
is
authorized
under
minnesota
statute,
13d
.021
as
a
result
of
the
declared
local
public
health
emergency
at
this
time,
I'll
ask
the
clerk
to
call
the
role,
so
we
can
verify
quorum
for
our
committee
meeting
council
member.
D
B
E
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
I
regret
to
have
to
start
this
meeting
off
by
sharing
a
bit
of
sad
news,
but
I
wanted
to
share
with
folks
and
and
just
spend
a
little
bit
of
time
talking
about
amelia
brown,
who
worked
in
the
coordinator's
office
and
passed
away
this
past
weekend.
E
She
was
somebody
who
worked
with
goku
and
kaim
in
the
arts,
culture
and
creative
economy,
work
that
we
do
here
at
the
city,
and
she
was
somebody
who
I
had
gotten
to
know
well
and
and
and
who
was
in
charge
of
one
of
the
programs
that
I
actually
as
a
young
artist
before
my
time
on
the
council
that
I
have
been
a
part
of
and
and
I'm
sure
that
amelia's
colleagues
and
and
friends
will
will
have
a
more
formal
sort
of
recognition
of
her
life.
E
But
I
just
wanted
to
offer
my
condolences
to
the
family
and
express
how
incredibly
devastated.
I
am
to
to
see
her
pass
unexpected
unexpectedly
and
for
the
folks
who
maybe
didn't
get
a
chance
to
work
with
amelia,
just
just
to
say,
amelia
had
one
of
those
personalities
that
feel
rare,
especially
in
a
year
like
this,
where
folks
could
not
be
blamed.
E
If
you
were
to
give
in
to
cynicism
or
a
little
bit
of
despair,
she
was
a
real
joy
to
be
around,
and
so
yes
with
that
heavy
heart
that
I'm
you
know
just
want
to
express,
you
know
my
personal
sadness
and
and
gratitude
towards
amelia
and
what
she
offered
the
world
and
and
certainly
what
she
offered
the
city.
So
thank
you,
madam
chair.
B
Thank

we

along
with
the
journey
forward
program,
all
of
higher
youth
program
counselors
meet
with
our
young
people
in
the

H
H
Many
discussions

solutions,
assisting
appropriate
clients
in
applying

other
government

walking
through

for
the
process
of
applying
for
bank
accounts
and
other
financial
stability
that
they
need.
H
Some
of
the
financial
support
services
have
included
rental
reimbursement
for
housing.
Cell
phones
are

we
always
discuss
safety
plans
to
keep
our
participants
safe
in
the
community.
H
Even
with
coven
19
still
a
factor,
we
were
able
to
be
flexible
to
stay
as
connected
as
possible
with
our
participants
by
listening
to
their
struggles,
their
fears,
their
frustrations,
their
needs
constantly,
encouraging
them
and
figuring
out
how
to
help
keep

safe.
Keep

alive,
stay
positive

focused
with
sean,
and
I,
our
participants
goals
are
our
goals.
We
are
supportive
of
their
passions.
H
Shawna,
and
I
do
not
accept
mediocre-
is
good
enough.
We
have
the
real
talks
with
them.
We
push
them
to
strive
harder
for
themselves
for
their
family,
their
children,
and
we
hold
them
accountable,
as
they
needed
they're
accepting
of
that
constructive
criticism
because
they
know
that
we
truly
care
about
them.
We
feel
that
too
many
people
have
held
them
to
standards
that
are
too
low,
so
we
expect
more
with
them
and
we're
there
to
help
them,
reach
those
goals
and
be
supportive
along
their
journey.
H
We
can
find
success
in
each
and
every
young
person
we
work
with
and
again.
Thank
you
so
very
much
for
this
award
and
for
recognizing
the
impact
and
opportunities
that
can
are
and
are
attained
through
the
journey
forward
program,
and
with
that
I
pass
this
along
to
my
fabulous
co-worker
sean
phillips.
Thank
you.
I
Okay,
hello,
everyone
can
you
hear
me
we
can,
sir
okay.
Thank
you
hi.
My
name
is
john
phillips.
As
my
colleague
johnson
michael
said,
and
I've
been
in
this
before
I
get
to
the
crooks.
What
I'm
gonna
say
that
I've
been
the
people
serving
business
for
35
years
now
in
the
city
of
minneapolis,
and
I
can
say
without
question
that
the
journey
forward
program
that
I've
been
a
part
of
has
been
the
most
rewarding
for
a
variety
of
reasons.
I
So
to
that
I'll
start
with
them.
That's
what
I'm
going
to
say.
I'd
like
to
stop
a
thank
you
to
the
city
of
minneapolis,
for
this
award
to
shave,
allen
for
your
continuous
support
and
journey
forward.
That
is
always
a
plus.
I
Nor
does
it
happen
without
a
team,
and
to
that
I
want
to
again
recognize
my
teammate
in
this
effort,
don
chamarco
and,
lastly,
I'm
not
sure
who's
on
the
line
still
like
to
thank
jan
west,
our
former
leader
at
heyer,
who
had
the
foresight
to
put
dawn
and
myself
together
in
this
effort.
I
I
The
difficult
phone
calls
in
the
middle
of
the
night,
but
listening
to
participants,
be
frustrated
with
their
current
lot
in
life,
their
first
their
frustration
with
us
for
being
so
hard
on
them
to
many
other
things
times
brought
before
them,
but
we
were
fortunate
enough
to
wade
through
these
waters.
These
troubled
waters
was
all
of
them.
She,
and
I
are
both
polar
opposites
on
many
levels.
I
I
I
Who
was
a
miracle
in
my
eyes
to
the
many
young
children
he
works
with
now
to
a
young
man
that
called
me
in
the
middle
of
night
last
in
the
middle
of
last
night,
saying
sean,
I
have
great
news,
my
probation
officer
called
me
and
they
let
me
off
probation
early,
because
I've
done
well
over
the
last
two
years.
Thank
you
man.
You
were
the
first
person
I
thought
of
calling,
so
I
called
you.
I
This
program
end
this
by
saying
that
this
award
means
a
lot.
When
I
found
out
that
we
received
this,
I
was
ill.
I
was
sick
and
this
made
this
made
all
the
work
that
don
and
I
have
done
over
the
past
two
years
this
this
was
this
was
medicine
in
that
moment.
So
again,
thank
you
to
city
minneapolis,
it's
highly
appreciated
and
thank
you
don
for
being
the
colleague.
I've
always
needed.
Thank
you.
J
All
right,
my
name
is
ryan
whitaker,
I'm
part
of
the
journey
forward
program.
I
believe
I've
been
part
of
program
since
2019,
I
believe
of
october.
I
got
out
of
prison
october
2nd
of
2019
and
was
pretty
much
lost,
didn't
know
where
I
was
going
to
go,
didn't
know
where
I
was
going
to
get
a
job
from
probation
officer
on
my
back
and
this
the
first
day
out
of
prison.
So
you
know
scary
gotta
got
in
the
car
with
my
cousin
and
we
rode
around.
J
I
ended
up,
dropping
them
off
and
picking
them
back
up
the
next
day
to
go
to
his
interview
to
meet
sean,
and
I
guess
halfway
through
the
meeting
they
got
to
talking
about
me.
Shy
came
out
introduced
herself
me
and
him
talked
probably
like
10
minutes,
cracked
couple
jokes
and
it
was
on
from
there.
I
think
I
met
him
a
week
after
that
at
a
coffee
shop,
I'm
in
saint
paul
and
we
talked
he
asked
me
my
goals
and
what
I
wanted
to
do
in
life.
J
And
what
made
me
happy-
and
I
told
him-
and
I
told
him
he
asked
me:
what
did
I
want
to
do
for
work?
I
told
him
immediately
anything
anything
and
literally
the
next
week
after
that
I
had
an
interview
with
the
center
foundation
at
conway
and
st
paul,
pretty
much
helping
kids
and
I've
been
there
ever
since
I
love
the
job.
J
J
All
kashan
introduced
me
to
a
man
I'm
saying
which
he
didn't
have
to.
He
didn't
know
me.
I
didn't
know
him
and
I
appreciate
sean
for
that,
sean
being
a
caring
person.
Man
he
introduced
me
to
dine
and
don
is
a
good
lady,
I'm
saying
before
the
people,
literally
like
ain't,
no
fake
fakeness
in
them,
trying
to
answer
the
phone.
Whenever
I
call
if
he
ain't,
if
he
ain't
sick
matter
of
fact,
he
answered
the
phone
when
he
was
sick.
J
B
F
F
Okay,
so
over
the
last
year,
both
the
adult
program
partners
being
recognized
today
emerge
community
development
and
urban
league.
Twin
cities
have
done
exceptional
work
to
react
and
respond
and
serve
our
community
during
the
coven
19
pandemic.
Together
they
serve
more
than
115
people,
more
than
90
of
whom
were
from
communities
of
color
and
were
low
income.
They
assisted
31
job
seekers
in
becoming
certified
nursing
assistants
or
earning
their
commercial
driver's
license
and
getting
on
the
path
to
high
demand
jobs
in
our
economy.
F
They
also
provided
internship
opportunities
for
youth
and
young
adults
in
the
cedar
river,
wide
neighborhood
and,
lastly,
which
is
very
innovative.
They
have
a
stalled
attempt
to
create
an
in
to
create
an
outdoor
workspace
at
cedar,
riverside
that
allowed
for
in-person
services
that
still
followed
coveted
19
safety
protocols.

It's

so
we're
helping

change,
lives,
we're
continuing
to
change
lives
and
we.
N
We
really
appreciate

we
have
a
number
of
success
stories
of
persons
who

been
facing
a
number
of
barriers:
unemployment,
underemployment
persons
who
have
been
homeless,
and
now
we've
changed
so
many
lives
and
thank
you
for
to
the

making
this
possible
that

to

followed
by
council
member
osman,
who
both

like
to

a
few
words.
E
Thank

I
just
wanted
to
echo
your
your

winners.
E
You

all
of
which
are
doing
incredible,
work
in
in
north
minneapolis
and-
and
I
know
myself
and
I
don't
want
to
speak
for
councilmember
cunningham,
but
I
think
I
can
in
saying
that
that,
as
the
north
side
of
representatives,
we
really
appreciate
everything
that
you
guys
are
bringing
to
the
table
and
doing
for
the
people
of
the
north
side
and-
and
I
also
just
wanna,
you
know
and-
and
I
think
all
these
institutions
have
have
been
around
for
a
long
time.
E
Of
course,
the
urban
league
doing
incredible
work
for
so
many
decades
and
generations,
and
so
I
I
feel
like
it
feels
like
we
really
get
to
depart
to
bear
witness
to
your
contribution
to
us
here
at
the
city
and
just
want
to
thank
the
mr
whitaker,
who
gave
the
incredible
testimony
as
as
one
of
the
people
who
was
a
part
of
the
hired
program.
E
I
think
that
you
know
often
when
folks
think
about
you
know:
people
who
might
be
transitioning
out
of
you
know
prison
they.
They
might
have
their
preconceived
notions
and-
and
I
thought,
what
an
honor
for
us
to
be
able
to
to
hear
firsthand
what
his
experience
was
and
and
just
want
to
thank
the
folks
there.
So
thank
you
guys
for
sharing
your
story
and
and
thank
you
for
sharing
your
skills
and
your
resources
with
the
city
of
minneapolis.
O
O
As
you
hear,
the
staff
that
have
are
doing
the
work-
and
you
know,
organizations
that
have
been
presented
these
awards.
I
want
to
take
the
time
to
congratulate
them.
I'm
I
have
been
someone
who
has
been
working
with
the
youth
in
the
past
and
youth
myself
growing
up
here.
These
are
the
program
and
the
mentors
that
really
helped
me
out
in
my
own
life
and
working
with
youth
and
running
a
youth
program
and
working
with
a
step
up
program
in
minneapolis.
O
It's
it's
a
life-changing
moment
for
for
this
young
man's
life,
and
I
wanna
say
thank
you
for
hired
and
showing
the
example
and
that
this
programs
do
work
and
showing
the
the
elected
officials
that
you
know
creating
this
kind
of
programs
do
help
the
youth
and
we
hear
the
youth
themselves
and
and
if
we
really
wanna
help
for
any
anyway,
society
that
are
that
are
struggling
with
so
many
things
and
difficult
times
we're
in
all
the
youth.
O
All
they
want
is
for
us
to
be
there
and
create
opportunity
for
them,
and
you
know
jobs
and
education
and
internship.
It's
all
they
need,
and
I
really
want
to
congratulate
and
thank
hire
and
emerge,
has
been
wonderful
to
see
the
riverside
there's
a
lot
of
great
things
that
the
community
and
city
riverside
number
six
say
about
merch
and
the
work
they
have
done.
Continuing
that
work,
it's
very
important.
The
community
relies
on
them.
O
I
think
the
cdl
program
has
been
also
very
popular
in
here
majority
of
our
residents
and
the
youth
need
those
opportunities
to
come,
and
people
that
took
the
leadership
organizations
like
emerge
and
hired
in
arbor
league
are
the
organizations
that
we
need
and
we
need
to
continue
supporting
those
that
are
taking
the
lead.
So
thank
you
all

all
you
do.

the
real
hero

in

the
purchaser
was
notified
of
the
public
hearing.
Today,
I'm
not
sure
if
he's
able
to
be
a
part
of
this
in
each
case
and
I'll
just
kind
of
real
quickly
say
before
the
public

722
newton

constructed
in
1907.
R
The

intends
to
invest
171

to
purchase

rehabilitate
this.
As
a
three-bedroom
two-bathroom

was

In

One

On

Chair
goodman
members
of
the
committee
staff
recommends
the
sale
of
2348
james
avenue
north
to
united
hmong
investment
llc
for
70
000..
If
united
hmong
investment,
llc
fails
to
close
sale,
2348
james
on
the
north
of
pedzo,
star
properties,
llc,
this
property
was
constructed
in
1921
and
was
acquired
on
june
4th
2020
from
hampton
county
tax
for
fitted
land.
The
purchaser,
the
united
lung
investment
llc,
proposes
to
invest
168
two
to
purchase
and
rehabilitate
this
property
as
a
four
bedroom
and
two
bathroom
home
to
be
marketed
exclusively
to
owner
occupants.
R
B
S
I
was
calling
on
this
property.
Are
we
very
interested
when
we
originally
went
and
seen
the
property?
We
have
a
buyer.
We
already
acquired
another
property
through
the
city
of
minneapolis
1131
james,
which
will
be
done
by
the
end
of
this
month,
and
a
new
family
will
take
ownership
of
that
property,
and
the
family
has
a
five
five,
kids
and
they're
very
fortunate
to
love
the
property
that
we
actually
remodeled
and
did
for
them
and
we're
willing
to.
S
We
are
trying
to
do
the
same
thing
to
2448
and
we
do
have
a
buyer
as
well,
that's
interested
by
the
name
of
amina
booker
and
she
does
have
six
kids
and
she
is
in
need
of
a
place
to
live
as
soon
as
possible,
and
we
did
promise
him
once
we
do
acquire
his
property.
That
will
get
it
to
to
the
point
that
it
needs
to
be
livable
and
sustainable
and
also
having
another
home
buyer
in
the
north
minneapolis
community.
S
I
believe
we
are
qualified
as
well
to
get
this
property
and
we
do
have
the
fundings
and
we
know
what
the
we
are
working
directly
one-on-one
with
the
buyers,
as
we
are.
Every
project
we
do,
they
do
come
and
look
at
it
to
their
satisfaction,
so
this
is
a
win-win
for
the
family.
That's
gonna,
buy
the
project
and
it'll
be
a
win
for
us
to
give
it
to
that
family.
With
that
being
said,
you
know.
S
We
really
believe
that
this
property
we
would
like
to
purchase
it
and
acquire
it
and
get
it
back
to
the
way
it
needs
to
be
and
get
more
home
ownership
in
the
north
minneapolis
community,
and
with
that
being
said,
I
thank
you,
madam
chair
and
the
council,
members.

to
call

We
saw
a
lot
of
potential
in
the
property
and
just
wanted
to
tell
you
today
that
we
are
still
very
interested
in
the
purchase
of
the
property
and
do
plan
to
move
forward
once
it's
approved
and
with
that
said,
we

looking
forward

up

to
just
better
improve

within
the

Thank
you.

Seeing

I'm
going
to
close
the
public
hearing
and
move
the
staff
recommendation,
which
is
to
sell
this
property
for
united
hmong
investment,
and
should
they
be
unable
to
close,
authorize
the
sale
to
puzdo,
star
properties
and
encourage
those
folks
who
did
not
win
this
one?
There
are
many
others.
There
are
many
other
opportunities

we
would
be
happy
to

Thank
you
I'll
ask
the
clerk
if
there's
no
objection,
if
we
could
please
list
council
member
gordon
as
voting
eye
on
items,
three
four
and
five,
seeing
no
objection
I'll
ask
the
clerk
to
record
council
member
gordon
voting
that
way,
and
then
we
will
move
on
to
public
hearing
number
seven,
which
is
a
land
sale
at
822,
elwood
avenue
north
mr
ramadan.
R
Chair
goodman
members
of
the
committee
staff
recommends
the
sale
of
822
elwood
avenue
north
to
john
ice,
incorporated
for
125
000,
subject:
conditions
if
john
ice
incorporated
fails
to
close,
sell,
820
to
elwood
avenue
north
to
tt,
lao
bediaco
for
125
000,
subject
conditions
this
was
constructed
in
1916.
The
city
acquired
this
property
from
hindu
county
tax-free
fitted
land
on
july
12
2017.
R
On
october
11
2019,
the
city
council
approved
the
sale
of
822
elwood
avenue
north
to
jazlyn
talley,
doing
business,
822
elwood
avenue
north
llc
as
a
purchaser
with
roman
deravenko
as
the
alternate
purchaser.
However,
both
she
and
alternate
purchaser
were
unable
to
close
on
the
land
sale
due
to
loss
of
income
from
the
pandemic.
R
The
purchaser
john
ice
proposes
to
invest
649
312
dollars
to
purchase
and
rehabilitate
this
property
of
the
four
plex,
which
it
is
now
with
two
bedrooms
and
one
bathroom
in
each
unit
to
be
sold
without
restrictions.
The
alternative
purchaser,
tt
lauberiaco
proposes
to
invest
432
100
to
purchase
and
rehabilitate
those
with
two
bedrooms,
one
bathroom
in
each
unit
in
which
she
would
be
the
owner
occupant
of
one
of
the
units.
The
remaining
units
would
be
leased
without
restrictions.
R
R
They
voted
to
conditionally
support
the
proposal
from
ttlaubediaco
as
the
purchaser
because
of
her
intention
to
be
an
owner
occupant.
The
nerf
board
would
also
approve
john
ice
as
the
alternate
purchaser
should
tt
allow
betiocco
fail
to
close,
but
only
on
the
condition
that
the
plans
for
changing
the
exterior
from
stucco
deciding
would
be
revisited.
R
This
decision
was
based
on
john
isis
being
the
highest
scoring
applicant,
coupled
with
his
experience
and
the
concerns
raised
by
staff
on
the
budget
that
tt
lau
bd
aqua's
proposed
complete
proposal
to
complete
this
dilapidate
dilapidated
fourplex
staff
also
agrees
with
the
neighborhood
concerns
regarding
limiting
the
change
of
the
structure,
architectural
appearance
of
the
building
and
the
developers
agreed
to
work
with
the
neighborhood
and
staff.
Both
parties
were
notified
of
the
public
hearing
today.
Are
there
any
questions
for
me.
R
B
Okay,
so
can
you
clarify
what
the
that
mr
h
is
the
400
000
cost
and
ms
b
diaco
is
the
less
expensive
just.
R
The
way
around
mr
asha's
649
312
bd
aqua
is
three
432
100.
B
Okay,
and
neither
are
here
today,
so
I
that's
why
I
thought
I
should
ask
you:
are
there
other
questions
for
mr
ramadan,
seeing
none
I'll
open
the
public
hearing
on
item
number
seven
with
the
staff
recommendation,
as
listed
in
the
agenda?
Is
there
anyone
here
to
speak
to
this
issue,
seeing
no
one
is
registered
and
no
one
is
speaking
out.
I
will
close
the
public
hearing
and
call
calling
council
member
allison.
E
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I'm
happy
to
move
approval
of
the
staff
recommendation
and
also
happy
to
work
with
staff
to
reach
out
to
tt
who,
who
I
know
and
would
love
to
support
in
getting
a
project
that
maybe
could
more
appropriately
suit
what
she
when
she
could
pull
off.
So.
B
Fantastic,
thank
you.
Are
there
further
comments
or
questions
on
council
member
ellison's
motion
to
approve
the
staff
recommendation,
saying
none
I'll
ask
the
clerk
to
call
the
roll
house
member.
D
B
That
item
is
approved,
we'll
now
move
on
to
item
number
eight,
which
is
a
land
sale
at
4901,
vincent
avenue
north.
I
want
to
note
up
front
that
staff
has
asked
to
postpone
this
item
until
well.
They'll
speak
to
that
they're
asking
to
postpone,
but
we're
going
to
take
the
public
hearing
anyway.
Mr
ramadan.
R
Council
members
and
and
chair
gor
goodman
excuse
me,
the
staff
was,
is
recommending
the
sale
of
4901
vincent
abner
north
to
william
washington
as
to
be
an
owner
occupant
of
a
new
triplex
to
be
built
after
the
current
property
is
demolished
on
the
site
for
25
000.
Subject,
conditions.
This
is
also
a
repeat.
We
had
this
once
before,
and
the
the
previous
applicants
were
unable
to
to
close
on
this
about
a
year
or
so
ago.
R
There
was
some
concern,
even
though
mr
washington
is
planning
to
build
this
property
without
any
city
subsidy
in
order
to
be
an
owner
occupant,
as
I
again
mentioned
for
him
and
his
family
to
for
a
triplex
home
at
4901,
vincent
avenue,
north
the
neighborhood
met
on
december
3rd
and
had
some
concerns
raised
about
setbacks
and
the
amount
of
traffic
that
it
might
cause
and
whether
or
not
there
was
adequate
parking.
R
Mr
washington
was
not
able
to
be
at
that
meeting
and
the
neighborhood
sent
a
letter
to
both
the
the
committee,
as
well
as
to
our
staff
on
friday,
saying
that
they
would
prefer
to
have
this
move
back
one
cycle
to
february
2nd
in
order
to
have
a
chance
to
sit
down
with
the
developer
and
kind
of
go
over
his
plans
and
get
a
better
feel
for
exactly
what's
being
proposed.
We
did
talk
to
the
developer
mr
washington
and
he's
also
okay
with
this
of
delaying
this
action
by
one
council's
committee
cycle
to
february.
Third,.
B
Okay,
thank
you
for
that
report,
mr
amanda.
I
want
to
make
it
clear
that
it's
allowed
within
our
policy
to
build
a
triplex
and
we're
not
going
to
have
people
try
to
stop
land
sales
because
they
don't
like
the
use,
that's
legally
allowed.
They
can
take
that
up
in
the
zoning
entitlement
process,
and
so
I
hope
we
don't
have
more
postponements
like
this
because
I
feel
like
it
potentially
could
get
mr
washington
to
suggest
he's
not
going
to
buy
the
lot.
B
Then,
if
the
neighbors
suggest
that
they
are
opposed
to
a
triplex
because
of
parking
issues,
so
I
just
want
to
make
it
clear:
we're
not
taking
land
using
issues
up
during
land
sale
issues,
and
so
since
no
one
is
on
this
call
and
there
normally
would
be
public
feedback,
I'm
willing
to
postpone
one
cycle.
But
I
want
to
be
clear
that
we're
not
going
to
have
neighborhood
boards
telling
applicants.
They
can't
buy
a
property.
That
would
be
something
that
would
be
allowed
under
the
code
and
I'm
sure
my
colleagues
would
agree.
They're
probably
shocked.
B
I'm
saying
it,
but
I'm
following
the
city's
policy
with
that
we'll
open
the
public
hearing,
as
as
it
has
been
noticed
for
a
land
sale
at
4901,
vincent
avenue
north
and
see
if
anyone
is
registered
to
speak.

Thank

Item
number,
nine
is
for
the
abivo
village.
The
applicant
is
seeking
an
interim
use
permit
to
allow
for
an
emergency
shelter
for
up
to
100
persons
within
the
existing
building,
located
at
1251
washington
avenue
north
for
a
period
of
up
to
four
years
next
slide.
Please,
the
existing
building
is
a
one-story
50,
000
square
foot
office
and
warehouse
building
built
in
1987..
X
The
building
was
most
recently
used
by
learner
publishing
as
their
distribution
center.
The
subject
property
is
located
at
the
southwest
corner
of
washington,
avenue,
north
and
plymouth
avenue
north
just
east
of
interstate
94
and
just
north
of
the
downtown
core.
X
The
applicant
is
proposing
a
pilot
project
to
construct
164
square
foot
tiny
homes
within
the
existing
warehouse
building
to
provide
temporary
emergency
shelter
next
slide.
Please.
X
And
next
slide,
please,
each
tiny
home
will
have
essential,
furnishings
four
windows
and
will
be
secured
by
the
resident
in
order
to
allow
for
their
belongings
to
be
secured.
According
to
the
applicant,
these
individual
rooming
units
promote
social
distancing
that
prevent
the
spread
of
covet
19,
while
creating
a
sense
of
community.
X
X
An
emergency
shelter
is
regulated
in
the
zoning.
Ordinance
and
regulations
related
to
emergency
shelters
were
amended
last
last
month
in
december
of
2020..
X
The
new
definition
of
an
emergency
shelter
is
any
facility
that
provides
sleeping,
accommodations
and
restroom
facilities
on
a
day-to-day
basis
for
persons
without
permanent
housing
for
periods
greater
than
24
hours,
but
less
than
six
months.
This
particular
shelter
model
has
been
under
review
by
the
city's
construction
code.
Services
staff
and
also
emergency
shelters
are
required
to
obtain
a
health
license
to
ensure
compliance
with
both
the
building
and
the
health
codes.
X
If
the
interim
use
permit
were
to
be
approved,
it
would
expire
on
january,
29
2025,
as
requested
by
the
applicant.
The
maximum
time
for
a
request
for
an
interim
use.
Permit
is
four
years
or
I'm
sorry
five
years,
but
the
applicant
has
requested
four
years.
If
the
intent
is
to
stay
for
an
additional
year,
they
can
come
back
and
apply
for
another
interim
news
permit
or
they
can
seek
a
conditional
use
permit
to
allow
for
the
permanency
of
an
emergency
shelter
at
this
location.
X
The
applicant
has
held
three
community
meetings
and
information
sessions
that
were
open
to
the
public.
A
summary
of
those
presentations
have
been
included
in
today's
packet
staff
has
not
received
any
additional
public
comments
regarding
the
proposed
shelter
staff
has
evaluated
the
proposed
project
for
the
required
findings
for
an
interim
use
permit,
and
they
are
located
on
pages
three
through
seven
of
the
staff
report.
Further,
the
applicant
has
not
requested
any
exceptions
to
the
zoning
code.
Therefore,
staff
is
recommending
approval
of
the
requested
interim
use
permit
with
two
stated
conditions.
X
First,
is
that
the
interviews
shall
expire
no
later
than
january,
29th
2025,
and
the
second
is
that
the
applicant
will
add
at
least
10
bicycle
parking
spaces
to
help
provide
additional
options
for
residents
kelly

also
here
to

you
very
much.
Thank.
Y
Thank
you,
chair,
goodman
and
council
members.
Can
you
all
hear
me
we
can't
excellent.
I
just
briefly
wanted
to
say
thanks
so
much
for
your
support
to
date
of
these
efforts.
Y
I'd
also
like
to
on
record
thank
minneapolis
cped
for
their
efforts
to
support
this
important
work,
and
I
am
happy
to
answer
any
questions,
but
I
do
want
to
first
to
share
one
short
story
of
one
of
the
16
residents
who
moved
in
on
december
30th
just
to
show
kind
of
the
outcomes
that
we're
we're
achieving
and
hope
to
continue
to
achieve.
We
had
a
young
woman,
a
20
year
old,
move
in
on
december
30th,
who
was
four
months
pregnant,
approximately
malnourished
from
morning
sickness
and
not
being
able
to
eat.
Y
Y
We
have
also
supported
one
of
the
initial
16
residents,
move
into
permanent
supportive
housing
and
have
been
able
to
move
another
individual
in
since
then.
I'm
also
happy
to
report
that
we
have
ordered
more
than
10
bike
racks
that
will
be
delivered
sometime
in
this
next
month.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
your
support.
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.

Yes,
good
afternoon,
council
members

council
member
goodman,
we
have
three
appointments
and
one
reappointment
before
you
today
for
the
vacant
positions
on
the
planning
commission.
We
have,
I
think,
some
very
good
qualified
candidates
for
this
round
of
appointments.
We
have
chloe
briggle,
who
is
a
city
planner.
B
I
see
thank
you
very
much
for
your
report.
Masoli
and
we'll
see
if
this
is
a
public
hearing,
so
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
open
the
public
hearing
on
item
number
10
and
see
if
any
of
the
good
folks
who
have
been
appointed
are
on
the
line
to
speak.
V
B
W
Z
B
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
just
wanted
to
to
move
this
item
forward
and
as
the
council's
representative
on
the
planning
commission,
I
just
look
forward
to
working
with
you
all.
Thank
you
so
much
for
what
you're
for
your
commitment
to
the
city.
I
also
know
that
miss
olsen
was
not
able
to
be,
or
she
had
a
previous
engagement,
but
don't
want
to
express
you
know
her
excitement
for
serving
another
term
on
the
planning
commission.
B
Thank
you
on
council
member
schroeder's
motion
before
we
call
the
roll
I'll
just
take
the
opportunity
to
thank
council
member
schroeder
for
serving
on
the
planning
commission.
When
I
reached
out
to
him
over
something.
Last
week
they
were
four
hours
in
after
a
long
day
of
work
for
all
of
the
people
on
the
commission,
and
he
wasn't
even
done
yet.
So
I
think
it's
important
of
the.
I
want
to
tell
mr
ford
that,
but
the
truth
of
the
matter
is
councilmember.
B
Schroeder
puts
in
a
lot
of
hours
doing
this
as
our
appointee
on
our
behalf
and
I'm
trying
not
to
scare
the
new
appointees,
but
as
much
thank
my
colleague
for
the
really
great
work
you
do
in
this
capacity
and
on
your
motion
to
approve
the
appointees
I'll.
Ask
the
clerk
to
call
the
role
councilmember.
D
B
That
item
is
approved.
I
want
to
thank
everyone
for
their
work
on
the
planning
commission.
We
have
two
items
left.
These
are
both
presentation
items
not
as
much
discussion
items.
I've
asked
the
minneapolis
employment
and
training
programs
to
prepare
a
presentation.
Given
everything
that's
been
going
on
with
unemployment
and
the
pandemic,
their
presentation
will
be
15
to
20
minutes,
and
then
we
will
take
a
presentation
from
the
minneapolis
advisory
committee
on
housing,
also
their
annual
report,
no
action
to
be
taken.
B
I
anticipate
concluding
this
meeting,
not
one
minute
after
25
after
three,
so
I
will
call
on
mark
brynda
to
give
his
presentation.
Mr
brenda
welcome.
AA
Thank
you
very
much
committee
chair,
goodman,
council
members,
thanks
for
inviting
me
in
today.
You
know,
as
you
point
out,
2020
has
been
a
rough
year
in
terms
of
the
landscape
for
employment
and
training,
the
economy
as
a
whole.
AA
Covent
19
social
unrest
has
all
put
a
number
of
people
in
a
difficult
economic
condition,
and,
and
so
what
I'd
like
to
do
today
is
to
give
a
overview
of
some
economic
trends
and
within
that
context,
we've
been
sort
of
our
response
and
employment
and
training.
To
give
you
guys
a
better
sense
of
how
employment
training
is
stepping
into
this
space
in
a
new
and
different
way,
based
on
some
of
the
things
that
have
come
forward
in
2020.
So
with
that,
I'm
going
to
ask
the
next
slide.
S
AA
I
I
I
was
cut
off,
so
I
was
waiting
for
you,
I'm
not
quite
sure
what
has
occurred.
So
I
will
stand
ready
whenever
you
are.
AA

All
right,
if
we're
ready
to
go
the
next
slide.
So
let
me
just
let
me
jump
in
since
we're
we'll
use
the
next
15
minutes
and
I'll
go
quickly
through
this.
This
is
a
slide
that
many
of
you
on
the
city
council,
as
well
as
guests,
have
seen.
AA
This
is
the
the
mapping
of
the
most
recent
covid
recession
against
the
previous
number
of
recessions
in
the
united
states,
and
what
we're
seeing
right
off
the
bat
is
that
this
is
a
recession,
unlike
many
that
had
come
before
and
so
for
employment
training.
AA
That
means
that
the
traditional
responses,
and
not
even
traditionally
the
the
ways
in
which
we
respond
to
job
seekers,
who
are
oftentimes
impacted
by
any
economic
transformation
or
change
in
this
case
this
recession,
we're
really
looking
at
a
new
type
of
recession,
a
one
brought
on
by
the
pandemic,
and
you
can
see
the
steepness
of
the
drop-off
that
occurred
as
you
know
in
march
and
april,
and
then
that
that
recovery,
you
will
note
that
this
recovery
is
not
yet
back
to
the
low
point
of
the
2008
910
recession,
which
we
all
very
much
remember,
but
they're
behaving
so
differently
within
the
labor
market,
and
this
is
something
that
I'm
going
to
keep
as
a
theme
throughout
the
rest
of
the
presentation,
because
it
is
that
difference
in
how
this
recession
is
playing
out.
AA
AA
Right
here
is
our
metropolitan
statistical
areas.
This
is
the
seven
county
metro
area.
This
just
speaks
to
the
job
loss.
We
had
about
three
about
2.03
million
million
jobs.
We
lost
a
considerable
number
of
them
in
that
one
month
of
you
know,
march
to
middle
middle
of
april.
There
has
been
a
recovery,
but
you
can
still
see
that
jobs
are
just
not
rebounding
right,
we're
just
it's
gonna
be
a
while.
Now
what
does
the
vaccine?
How
does
the
biden
administration's
roll
out
of
sort
of
new
recovery
act,
or
you
know?
AA
How
is
he
going
to
be
looking
at
this
things
that
will
be
told
within
the
next
few
months,
but
right
now
we're
still
trying
to
figure
out
what
is
that
economic
rebound?
Most
people
don't
assume
most
economists,
don't
assume
that
this
is
going
to
be
a
long-term
recession
in
the
way
that
we
saw
in
0.789,
because
underlying
it
are
were,
are
not
the
same
structural
challenges
like
the
banking
and
finance
sector
issues,
the
housing
bubbles
that
occurred
earlier
and
that's
going
to
then
have
ramifications
within
the
labor
force.
AA
AA
You
can
just
see
here
all
the
job
loss
in
red.
There
has
been
recovery.
The
story
is
really
mixed.
Amongst
those
industries
that
make
up
our
economy,
some
are
feeling
it
to
a
great
effect
and
some
great
very
little,
and
so
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
trying
to
figure
out,
but
the
the
truth
of
the
matter
is
that
there
was
lots
of
job
loss
at
the
front
of
this.
Unlike
other
previous
recessions
and
the
why
I
say
the
tools
of
workforce
development
have
to
be
different.
AA
AA
What
we're
now
starting
to
see
nine
ten
months
in
is
many
of
these
furloughs
are
now
turning
into
permanent
layoffs
and
that's
something
that
we're
going
to
watch
really
closely,
because
when
somebody
is
in
furlough,
they
feel
very
confident
that
they're
going
to
be
entering
back
into
the
labor
force
in
a
in
a
similar
way
that
they
did
when
they
lost
their
job,
whether
it
be
march
april
or
more
recently
say,
september
october,
but
the
longer
we
see
the
ramifications
of
the
code
economy,
the
more
people
that
turn
into
fully
unemployed,
that's
going
to
change
again
the
way
in
which
we're
going
to
need
to
respond
next
slide.
AA
This
is
a
this
is
the
graph
that
many
of
you
will
see
on
the
cover
of
the
newspaper
on
social
media.
Talking
about
the
economy,
and
this
is
that
unemployment
rate
we
like
the
unemployment
rate,
because
it
provides
us
a
really
important
benchmark.
It's
the
same
way,
it's
been
calculated
for
generations,
and
so
it's
good.
Although
it's
got
many
flaws
behind
it,
it's
only
measuring
those
who
are
in
the
labor
force
actively
looking
and
those
working,
and
so
we've
really
found.
AA
Is
that
the
unemployment
rate
has
dropped
quite
a
bit
in
the
last
few
months,
we're
down
in
our
metro
area
to
about
3.9?
That
would
be
a
great
unemployment
rate
in
a
normal
economy.
We
were
at
about
2.5
2.6
2.9
at
the
beginning
of
2020,
so
we
still
are
well
above
where
we
were
a
point
above.
The
challenge
in
this
is
that
there's
one
important
caveat
to
this,
which
is
it
takes
into
account
labor,
force
participation
and
I've
talked
to
this
committee
before
about
labor
course
participation.
AA
It's
one
of
these
key
indicators,
I
think,
is
so
important
to
the
way
in
which
we
look
at
our
work.
Labor
force
participation
is
those
in
your
community
that
are
actively
engaged
in
labor
and
work
right.
It
means
that
they
are
either
in
work
or
out
of
work
but
actively
looking.
We
have
seen
more
and
more
minneapolis
residents
and
more
and
more
folks
across
our
our
entire
communities,
out
into
greater
hennepin
and
ramsey
dropping
out
of
labor
force,
and
that
is
a
concerning
trend.
AA
It's
in
this.
This
is
the
metro
labor
force
trend.
We
saw
about
1.7
million
people
in
our
labor
force
and
we
saw
it
drop
to
about
1.68
these
hundreds
of
thousands
of
drops
right
or
you
know
nearly
100
000
drop
and
if
you
go
to
the
next
slide
in
minneapolis,
if
I
fine-tune
this
and
we
go
into,
we
had
about
255
000,
just
shy
of
255
000
folks
in.
AC
AA
Labor
force
we've
lost
15,
000
people
out
of
our
labor
force,
so
these
aren't
people
that
are
just
unemployed
and
actively
looking.
These
are
not
unemployment,
insurance
recipients
so
being
propped
up
by
the
unemployment
system
during
their
time
of
unemployment
or
being
able
to
draw
on
those
federal
extended
unemployment
benefits.
These
are
folks
that
have
said
I'm
leaving
the
labor
force
at
this
point,
they're,
not
working
and
they're,
moving
into
a
point
of
not
being
part
of
labor
force.
Why
workforce
development
is
so
concerned
about
this?
AA
Is
that
it's
it's
this
number
that
we're
going
to
have
to
see
rebound
because
the
more
folks
we
have
within
that
labor
force.
We
know
we
have
demand,
but
if
you're
unable
to
and
on
willing
to
in
some
cases,
come
into
the
labor
force,
that's
going
to
be
a
drain
and
a
drag
both
for
family
incomes
for
for
any
number
of
things.
But
I
say
that
with
this
huge
caveat,
because
this
is
a
recession
caused
by
a
health
pandemic.
AA
What
we're
seeing
is
that
many
of
these
folks
are
leaving
the
labor
force
for
what
we
believe
is
a
couple
reasons.
One
is
that
children
are
at
home
whether
or
not
you're,
a
primary
parent
or
a
guardian,
or
they
are
you,
have
extended
family
in
your
household.
Children
aren't
home,
like
they've,
never
been
as
schools
moved
to
hybrid
and
online.
The
return
to
work
after
losing
your
job
is
just
not
possible
in
many
cases.
AA
The
other
issue
is
that
many
folks
that
we
we
know
are
within
our
community
who
are
not
working,
also
live
in
spaces
where
they
might
be
in
multi-generational
households
and
so
going
into
work
being
an
essential
worker.
AA
Being
frontline
staff,
perhaps,
and
bringing
covet
home
would
have
a
huge
health
detriment
to
their
family,
and
so
at
this
point
we
know
many
people
are
staying
out
of
the
labor
force,
they're
just
choosing
to
step
out
rather
than
try
to
get
back
in
and
then
risk
the
health
benefits,
so
whether
it
be
the
child
care,
the
child
rearing
and
the
school's
choices,
and
then
to
the
public
health.
We
see
this
as
a
really
big
sort
of
component
of
our
work.
AA
What
historically
has
happened
when
a
recession
is
hit?
Is
that
programs
like
the
dislocated
worker
program,
which
is
a
backstop
program
for
anybody
who's,
been
laid
off
no
fault
of
their
own?
They
can
access
training
where
they
can
access
counseling
services
and
a
whole
host
of
wrap
around
supports
to
move
them
back
more
rapidly
into
employment.
AA
Those
doors
which
have
historically
been
flooded
on
day,
one
of
a
recession
have
been
very
quiet.
People
are
just
either
waiting
to
get
back
into
the
labor
force
sort
of
pausing
on
this,
and
we
believe
this
is
the
case
because
it's
also
being
echoed
in
some
of
the
places
that
are
oftentimes
the
greatest
recipients
of
new
students
during
a
recession
which
is
the
communion
technical
colleges
talking
to
the
president
of
minneapolis
college.
AA
This
morning
she
mentioned
that
this
trend
is
a
national
trend
that
enrollments
in
the
training,
technical
schools,
community
education
are
down
to
historic
lows
and
it's
people
are
unable
to
enter
into
those
traditional
spaces
of
job
training
or
job
placement
services
because
of
the
way
in
which
this
recession
is
playing
out,
because
it
is
coupled
with
that
health
concern
right.
So
what
we're
seeing
is?
Yes,
the
unemployment
rate
is
dropping,
but
we're
also
seeing
that
more
and
more
people
are
just
choosing
to
drop
out.
AA
The
question
for
us
in
our
employment
training
is
how
do
we
prepare
ourselves
for
what
will
be
a
a
great
number
of
job
seekers
in
the
near
future?
If
we
trust
that
the
vaccine
roll
up
will
occur
over
the
next
say
four
to
six
months
and
more
and
more
people
are
feeling
like
they
can
enter
back
into
the
labor
force
or
jobs
that
have
been
shut
down
in
the
entertainment
industry
and
hospitality,
industry
and
restaurant
industries
come
back.
U
AA
And
poised
for
that
work
at
the
same
time
that
they
are
doing
work,
it
is
not
like
they
are
quiet,
it's
just
a
different
recession
than
it
had
been
before
so
you've
already
heard
from
three
community
based
organizations.
You
know
the
work
is
being
done,
but
again
it's
different
this
time
around
next
slide
moving
you
can.
This
just
highlights
the
depth
of
the
labor
market
sort
of
cool
off
during
the
early
stages
of
the
pandemic.
AA
You
can
see
here
that
our
labor
market
or
excuse
me
our
unemployment
office,
went
from
processing
about
6
700
unemployment
claims
in
february
of
2020
to
by
april
192
000..
That
is
the
sort
of
scope
in
which
unemployment
was
an
issue.
It
is
now
cooled
down,
but
it
just
shows
that
next
slide
from
unemployment
or
from
minneapolis
and
women
training
perspective.
One
thing
that
we
have
to
pay
attention
to
is
not
that
big
spike
and
then
the
roll
back
as
people
go
back
into
work
or
as
their
employers
figure
out
safety
protocols.
AA
But
it's
in
these
in
the
black
grass,
as
we
move
out
in
time,
which
is
those
that
are
continued,
ui
claims.
The
further
we
get
away
from
somebody
being
disconnected
from
their
work,
the
harder
it
is
for
that
individual
to
join
back
into
the
labor
force.
AA
One
thing
that
we're
acutely
aware
of
in
employment
training
and
the
city
of
minneapolis
is
acutely
aware
of.
Overall,
is
that
this
is
not
a
recession
shared
by
all
right.
Not
every
group
has
been
impacted
in
the
same
way.
As
I
mentioned
about
sectors
of
our
economy,
some
parts
of
our
community
are
being
impacted
more
heavily
than
others.
AA
One
thing
we're
noticing
is
that,
while
white
population
in
minneapolis
are
filing
higher
rates
of
unemployment,
claims
by
number
the
proportion
of
those
impacted
to
their
percent
in
the
labor
force
are
our
communities
of
color
bipod
communities.
African-American
communities
are
hard
hit
by
this,
as
they
oftentimes
as
demographically
speaking.
AA
What
we're
seeing
is
many
folks
from
the
say,
the
black
community,
the
new
immigrant
community,
are
in
jobs
that
were
more
affected
by
this,
and
the
the
recovery
of
those
jobs
has
been
slower,
and
so
we're
going
to
have
to
make
that
concerted
effort,
as
we
saw
with
urban
league
and
emerge
and
hired
that
this
is
not
just
generic
programming,
but
this
is
really
targeted.
Programming
to
communities
that
are
really
feeling
the
hurt
and
the
hit
of
the
cog
economy
next
slide.
AA
This
is
the
state
of
minnesota
has
done
some
analyses
of
where
they
believe
that
the
most
challenges
to
something
that
they
call
permanent
separation
from
work
is
going
to
play
out
and
so
they're
very
concerned,
as
you
can
see,
with
the
race,
african
americans
or
blacks,
as
well
as
people
with
disabilities,
right
that
those
two
groups
are
being
disproportionately
impacted
by
this
economy
and
this
change
and
we're
going
to
have
to
be
ready
and
we
are,
but
we
have
to
be
thinking
about
the
strategies
in
these
spaces
next
slide.
AA
These
are
total
claims
by
occupation,
and
this
is
in
minneapolis,
and
so
I
wanted
to
drill
down
and
get
into
where
are
we
seeing
it?
This
is
of
no
surprise
to
anybody
on
this
council
on
this
committee.
We
are
seeing
the
greatest
impacts
on
our
hospitality
industry,
our
retail
service
workers,
our
cooks
and
food
preparation,
also,
construction
workers,
healthcare
workers
have
been
impacted
in
unusual
ways
right
healthcare.
This
is
a
pandemic
health
led
recession,
yet
hospitals
and
healthcare
workers
are
also
losing
their
jobs.
AA
We'll
move
on
to
keep
ourselves
on
time
next
slide.
There
is
light.
There
are
some
real
areas
of
opportunity
that
we
are
making
investments
in
so
within
the
industry
sectors
that
we
have
an
interest
in,
but
also,
I
think
we
should
be
paying
attention
to
as
they
start
to
grow.
We're
looking
at
healthcare
continues
to
be
a
driver
as
it's
hit
early
on
with
with
layoffs,
it
still
is
hiring
back.
They
can't
fill
in
some
areas.
AA
I
heard
a
story
that
it
isn't
just
about
need
it's
about
repositioning
their
employees
and
new
employees
into
new
positions.
That's
that
structural
change
that
we're
going
to
see
that
all
of
a
sudden,
a
five-year
plan
to
integrate
more
online
health
visits
can
do
in
six
months
and
making
sure
staff
are
ready
to
do
online
visits
with
patients.
That's
a
challenge
within
their
training
realm.
AA
So
there's
things
that
we're
doing
in
this
finance
and
insurance
right,
retail
trade,
transportation,
warehousing
manufacturing,
there's
light
on
the
occupation
side,
where
we
work
more
of
our
our
programming,
we're
seeing
areas
where
we're
making
investments,
cdl,
training,
registered
nurses,
software
developers
and
computer
operators
through
our
tech
hire
initiative,
we're
making
investments
in
those
areas
and
the
next
slide.
I
think,
we'll
give
a
sort
of
highlight
where
we're
at
we
really
want
to.
AA
If
I
can
take
a
look
at
what
would
be
the
right
side
of
the
slide
first,
what
we're
doing
is
we're
making
some
really
targeted
investments.
Recently,
you
saw
the
suite
of
programs
to
occur
pathways,
750
000
of
new
programs
going
out
in
sectors
like
transportation,
healthcare,
I.t,
construction,
manufacturing,
all
occupations
and
sectors
of
our
economy
that
are
seeing
some
glimmers
of
hope
and
some
light
and
some
demand.
We
want
to
continue
our
tech,
higher
efforts,
we're
going
to
be
making
an
additional
or
continued
six
hundred
thousand
plus
thousand
investment
in
it
projects.
AA
We
know
that
side
of
the
economy
really
didn't
stumble
during
this
during
this
recession,
but
we
want
it
and
we
want
to
capitalize
on
that
by
bringing
in
some
new
opportunities
for
frontline
learners
and
gateway
learners
to
think
about
and
and
see
how
they
could
work
into
the
it
field
and
then
finally,
one
thing
we're
going
to
be
doing
is
we're
going
to
put
a
lot
of
effort
in
the
next
six
months
into
really
sort
of
stabilizing
and
bringing
youth
programs
back
in
last
summer,
we
did
a
great
job
of
trans
transit
pivoting.
AA
Maybe
I
should
say
into
a
virtual
summer
with
some
in-person
jobs.
Well,
this
year
we
want
to
be
aggressive.
We
want
to
get
to
employers.
We
want
to
continue
to
create
those
youth
jobs,
because
we
know
that
youth
in
this
town
and
across
this
country
really
have
really
been
subject
to
a
lot
of
change
within
their
lives,
whether
it
be
schools
being
out
after
school
programs,
sports
programs
and
jobs,
programs
all
being
sort
of
canceled
in
many
respects.
For
the
last
nine
months.
AA
So
with
that,
I
stuck
to
three
o'clock,
so
I
can
stand
for
questions,
but
I
do
know
that
we
want
to
move
on
with
our
agenda.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
the
time
and
happy
to
be
back.
B
Mr
brenda,
I
want
to
make
sure
there
is
enough
time
for
discussion
and
questions
on
this
topic,
since
the
b
in
business
for
biz
means
workforce
development
and
business
opportunities
and
employment,
and
I
know
that
there
are
a
lot
of
potentially
could
be
a
lot
of
questions.
The
first
thing
I
would
add,
while
everyone's
thinking
of
their
questions
is,
could
you
send
a
slide
deck
to
all
of
the
members
of
the
council?
B
I
had
the
opportunity
to
study
the
slide
deck
in
advance
of
the
meeting
and
it's
hard
to
see
on
these
little
laptops,
and
so,
if
you
could
send
anyone
the
slide,
everyone
the
slide
deck.
That
would
be
great
and
then
I'll
see
if
members
of
the
committee
have
questions
or
comments
for
mr
brenda,
this
is
a
time
at
which
employment
and
training
is
particularly
important.
B
As
we
move
out
of
the
recession,
we
heard
from
three
organizations
on
the
ground
doing
this
work
about
the
incredible
work
they're
doing,
and
I'm
hopeful
that
we
can
continue
to
make
major
investments
in
this
kind
of
work
at
cped,
and
I'm
very
appreciative
for
the
report.
So
I
will
go
ahead
and
see
if
there's
anyone
else
who
would
like
to
say
anything
or
have
questions
for
mr
brenda.
B
B
So
I
I
very
much
appreciate
your
presentation
and
I
hope
we'll
be
doing
this
quarterly,
so
we
can
keep
up
on
what
you
you
and
your
team
are
hearing
as
important
trends
and
things
that
we
need
to
pay
attention
to
as
it
pertains
to
the
economic
recovery
on
lake
street,
as
well
as
the
unemployment
recovery
that
we're
sure
to
go
through
in
the
next
couple
of
years.
Thank
you
for
your
presentation,
I'll
direct
the
clerk
to
receive
and
file
this
report.
AD
Yes,
thank
you,
chair
goodman
and
committee
members.
We
will
be
giving
just
a
brief
report,
I'm
just
going
to
kick
it
off
and
then
turn
it
over
to
one
of
our
committee
co-chairs
to
give
more
detail.
So
the
minneapolis
advisory
committee
on
housing
was
established
by
the
council
in
2018
and
began
meeting
in
2019.
AD
This
report
is
a
two-year
report
because
the
committee
co-chairs
were
scheduled
to
give
a
presentation
in
the
middle
of
march
last
year,
and
so
we
postponed
that
for
obvious
reasons,
and
so
we
are.
We
just
combined
the
first
two
years
of
the
committee
into
one
report.
The
advisory
committee
on
housing
is
a
21-member
committee.
AD
There
are
12
resident
members
and
nine
members
from
organizations
that
work
on
housing,
so
that
includes
mps
mpha
and
then
also
just
categories
of
organizations
like
a
community
development
organization
or
an
organization
that
advocates
for
rental
property
owners.
The
committee
is
charged
with
advising
the
city
council,
the
mayor
and
city
departments
on
housing
issues,
and
it
is
staffed
by
a
team
from
cped
regulatory
services
and
health.
AD
So
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
our
one
of
our
committee
co-chairs.
Joey
dobson
she
is
on
was
on
the
committee,
the
first
two
years,
she's
a
housing
policy
attorney
with
mid-minnesota
legal
aid,
and
she
is
going
to
go
into
more
detail
she's
here
representing
the
leadership
team
before
I
turn
it
over
to
her
I'm
just
going
to.
AD
She
is
going
to
be
going
through
recommendations
that
the
committee
has
made
in
their
report,
and
I
just
want
to
note
that
in
the
recommendations
there
are
a
number
of
areas
where
we're
doing
extensive
work
already
or
starting
on
some
of
that
work.
So
if
there
are
questions
at
the
end
on-
and
you
want
more
details
on
some
of
the
work
that
the
city
is
doing
in
those
areas
already
happy
to
take
those
at
the
end,
but
with
that
I'll
turn
it
over
to
joey
dotson.
AE
Hi,
thank
you
so
much,
madam
chair
and
committee
members,
and
thank
you
katie
for
that
introduction.
I
know
it's
the
end
of
a
long
meeting,
so
we
will.
I
will
be
brief,
but
thank
you
very
much
for
the
opportunity
to
present
briefly
to
you
today,
like
katie,
said,
I'm
a
housing
policy
attorney
with
legal
aid.
I've
been
the
co-chair
along
with
colleen
ebbinger.
AE
Also
part
of
our
leadership
team
on
the
committee
is
brenda
marcos
and
scott
schaefer
we'll
be
electing
new
leadership
for
a
new
term
this
coming
month
at
our
february
meeting
and
just
really
quickly
before
the
recommendations.
I
just
want
to
say
that
it's
truly
been
an
honor
to
be
a
part
of
this
committee
since
it
was
created.
AE
You
know,
I'm
really
thankful
to
the
staff
that
help
out
with
the
committee
katie
kelly
rose
jones
and
lisa
smestad
for
all
of
their
support
and
also
to
council
member
gordon's
office,
for
you
know
creating,
I
think,
being
responsible
for
creating
this
committee
and
then
continuing
to
provide
resources
through
staff.
Robin
garwood,
also
andrea
inouye
from
the
mayor's
office
is
present
on
a
regular
basis
to
provide
support.
AE
So
just
want
to
thank
the
city
for
not
only
the
opportunity
to
participate
in
this
committee,
but
for
the
resources
that
it
has
lended
to
make
our
work
more
productive
and
helpful.
I
hope
so
we're
excited
to
be
starting
our
third
year
with
some
returning
and
many
new
members
as
well.
So
this
as
katie
said,
our
committee
considered
a
number
of
recommendations
that
these
are
recommendations
to
the
city
council
as
part
of
this
annual,
or
in
this
case
biannual
report.
AE
Just
things
to
be
that
the
committee
feels
are
important,
as
katie
said,
some
of
which
we
know
are
already
underway.
The
first
recommendation
is
something
that
has
already
been
occurring,
but
the
recommendation
is,
as
council
is
considering
new
housing
policies.
The
recommendation
is
that
the
council
engage
with
the
advisory
committee.
AE
The
second
recommendation
is:
there's
there's
a
lot
of
concern
on
the
committee
regarding
lower
income,
especially
homeowners
during
this
time.
The
so
the
recommendation
here
is
that
the
city
track
that
the
federal
the
current
federal
mortgage
forbearance
that
is
set
to
expire
at
the
end
of
march
2021
and
consider
continue
considering
ways
to
assist
homeowners
who
might
be
struggling
on
their
mortgage
due
to
the
recession
and
covet
19
pandemic.
AE
The
third
recommendation
is
to
engage
with
stakeholders
to
re-evaluate
income
and
other
verification
requirements
for
eligibility
for
future
rent
assistance
programs.
This
is,
of
course,
timely,
as
the
city
is
receiving
funds
to
the
emergency
rental
assistance
program,
and
I
know
that
that
program
was
in
the
development
stage
as
quickly
as
possible
and
just
wanted
to
highlight
the
desire
of
the
committee
that
stakeholders
are
involved
in
determining
those
programs.
AE
AE
Could
we
move
to
the
next
slide?
Please
all
right,
and
then
this,
I
believe,
is
the
final
slide.
This
is
the
end,
a
recommendation
to
prioritize
budget
and
bonding
capacity
to
create
and
preserve
deeply
affordable
housing.
There's
been
a
lot
of
conversation
in
our
committee
about
what
is
and
what
is
not
affordable
and
the
ways
that
area
median
income
doesn't
always
mean
that
the
resources
get
to
who
needs
them,
especially
in
the
city
of
minneapolis.
AE
The
next
recommendation
is
to
continue
to
explore
and
develop
an
opportunity
to
purchase
policy.
We
know
that
work
is
being
done
to
get
that
policy
developed.
We
just
wanted
to
express
our
support
for
the
ongoing
hard
work,
that's
going
into
crafting
that
policy
and
the
various
options
that
have
been
presented.
AE
The
next
recommendation
is
that
the
council
prioritize
addressing
issues
of
homelessness
by
expanding
shelter,
opportunities
and
housing
solutions,
including
adopting
an
ordinance
to
allow
single
room
occupancy,
and
I
think,
having
sat
through
this
meeting
today.
I
know
that
is
certainly
in
the
works.
AE
There
are
a
number
of
different
ideas
and
initiatives
in
the
works
to
address
our
homelessness
crisis,
and
it
is
an
important
issue
that
our
committee
is
continuing
to
to
think
about
other
ways
that
we
might
recommend
this
city
be
involved
in
this
in
this
issue
and
then,
finally,
really
and
relatedly
specifically
to
unsheltered
homelessness.
AE
We
know
that
the
city
collaborates
with
hennepin
county
on
shelter
and
other
related
issues,
but
the
recommendation
is
just
to
really
be
collaborating
and
finding
ways
that
the
city
can
take
a
lead
on
unsheltered
homelessness,
in
addition
to
work
that
the
county
is
doing
so
again.
All
of
these
are
meant
to
support
and
encourage
the
council
to
continue
work
that
is
already
being
done
and
to
express
our
support
and
offer
our
resources,
as
we
can
be
helpful
moving
forward.
AE
As
we
know,
there
are
lots
of
housing-related
policy
conversations
in
the
works
and
we're
really
excited
for
2021
to
be
a
year
of
thinking
creatively
and
thinking
about
how
we
can
provide
homes
and
make
sure
that
our
all
of
our
residents
of
minneapolis
are
healthy
and
safe.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
the
opportunity
both
to
serve
on
this
committee
and
to
share
these
recommendations
with
you
all
today.
AE
B
Thank
you
so
much
for
taking
time
out
of
your
schedule
and
your
work
schedule
to
be
involved
today
and
mr
pinka.
Thank
you
so
much
for
everything
you're
doing
I
thought
I'd,
maybe
just
call
in
council
member
gordon
and
see
if
he
had
any
thoughts
he
wanted
to
share
prior
to
the
conclusion
of
the
meeting,
since
he
has
been
the
primary
person
working
with
this
group
directly.
AC
Well,
I'll
just
express
my
appreciation
for
the
work
that
they've
done.
I
had
the
opportunity
to
go
to
the
first
meeting
this
year
as
well
and
see
the
new
members
who
joined.
It
is
quite
a
diverse
group
offering
perspectives
across
the
whole
gamut
in
terms
of
housing,
and
I
think
it's
provided
really
valuable
input,
helping
us
better,
refine
our
policies
and
understand
the
ramifications,
so
I'm
expecting
we'll
still
be
going
back
to
the
housing
advisory
committee
as
we
further
refine
these
issues
and
getting
your
recommendations
outlined
so
clearly.
Right
now
is
really
helpful
for
us.
D
D
I
really
think
that
it
says
a
lot
that
a
lot
of
the
things
that
you're
you're
focusing
on
the
city
is
really
starting
to
to
work
on,
and
I
think
some
of
that
is
the
times
we're
in
you
know
we
really
were
faced
with
just
it
was
more
transparent
how
far
we
have
to
go
to
creating
homes
for
everybody
this
year
and
we
have
really
scrambled
as
a
city,
and
so
it's
really
been
helpful
to
have
partners
to
have
stakeholders
in
the
same
place
and
really
appreciate
the
work
of
the
advisory
committee.
B
Anyone
else
like
to
comment,
if
not,
I
will
thank
everyone
for
participating
and
ask
the
clerk
if
there's
no
objection
to
receive
and
file
this
report,
and
then
I
also
just
wanted
to
take
a
moment,
and
I
know
we
will
take
a
moment
at
the
next
council
meeting
to
reflect
on
the
fact
that
our
dear
friend
and
committee
clerk
irene
casper
is
going
to
be
retiring.
B
I'm
not
sure
if
members
of
the
committee
were
aware
of
this.
You
know
we
have
122
people
retiring
across
the
entire
enterprise,
but
most,
if
not
all,
of
the
members
of
this
committee
have
had
the
good
fortune
to
work
with
irene
over
a
long
period
of
time,
and
I'm
pretty
sure
this
is
her
last
meeting
that
she'll
be
working
with
us
on,
although
she'll
be
here
till
the
end
of
the
month.
B
I
just
wanted
to
take
this
opportunity
to
thank
her
and
let
her
know
by
all
of
the
people
who
have
worked
with
you
in
agenda
setting
throughout
reg
services
and
cped.
We
just
hold
you
in
such
high
regard
and
as
sad
as
we
are
that
you'll
be
leaving
us.
We
are
happy
that
you
have
the
opportunity
to
take
this
early
retirement
at
such
a
young
age
and
be
able
to
enjoy
your
life
and
not
be
worried
about
the
city
in
a
way
that
you
have
been
throughout
your
entire
career.
B
So
I
know
we'll
have
some
thoughts
and
comments
about
that
at
the
council
meeting
on
the
29th,
but
I
wanted
to
take
an
opportunity
to
point
that
out
to
members
of
the
committee
today
as
well.
We
will
be
welcoming
lisa
brock,
as
our
committee
clerk,
once
we
get
into
february,
but
fondly
thanking
irene
for
everything
that
she
has
done
over
her
very
long
career
at
the
city.
