Thank
you
very
much.
I
wanted
to
pull
17
for
a
comment
and
emotion.
We
could
do
that
now
or
we
could
prove
the
others
first.
Whatever
is
your
discretion,
you
can
proceed
counselor
mccartney.
What
I'd
like
to
do
is
pull
it
to
move
it
forward
without
recommendation.
D
I've
been
in
communication
with
council
member
ellison's
office
where
94
runs
through
many
of
our
awards,
but
it
also
runs
significantly
through
his
and
closer
to
this,
and
I
know
that
he
is
working
on
some
additions
to
the
comments
he's
been
working
with
public
works
staff
on
those
and
also
some
advocacy
organizations,
and
ask
that
this
be
pulled
and
moved
forward
without
recommendation,
so
that
he
can
finish,
though,
that
work
and
bring
it
forward
to
the
council
at
the
appropriate
time.
At
our
next
meeting.
B
Super
well,
I
will
pull
that
item
and
move
it
without
recommendation
per
councilman,
gordon's
request
and
yeah.
I've
been
in
contact
with
staff,
who've
been
engaged
with
the
council
member
ellison's
office
and
we're
very
aware
of
these
adjustments
that
are
that
are
in
the
works
and
pending
so
with.
That
is
any
further
discussion
on
this
pulled
item
from
the
consent.
B
Not
seen
any
clerk,
could
you
call
the
world
for
said
motion.
B
That
moves
accordingly
and
does
anyone
wish
to
pull
any
other
item
from
the
list
of
consent
items
not
seen
any
indication
of
that?
I
will
move
all
items
as
submitted
and
ask
the
clerk
to
call
the
role.
A
E
C
F
Good
afternoon
share
reich
and
members
of
the
committee
public
hearing
number
one
is
a
storm
water
management
program,
an
annual
report
presented
by
elizabeth
stout
water
resources,
manager,
service,
water
and
sewer
division,
and
again
I'm
brian
dodds,
I'm
deputy
director
and
city
engineer.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you
for
that
before
we
begin
councilmember
palmisano,
I
didn't
see
you
in
the
chat
previously.
Is
there
anything
that
you
wish
to
address.
E
Not
at
this
time,
mr
chair,
I
would
like
to
address
something:
that's
not
on
the
agenda,
but
I'd
like
to
follow
up
on
separate
from
the
stormwater
management
program
and
not
part
of
the
public
hearing.
So
maybe
at
the
end,
like
announcements
or
something
that'd
be
good.
B
Thank
you
for
that.
Please
proceed
with
the
staff
report.
G
G
G
The
city's
stormwater
management
program
is
designed
and
implemented
to
be
in
compliance
with
all
federal
and
state
requirements
under
the
clean
water
act.
Our
permit
requires
that
the
public
be
offered
an
opportunity
to
comment
on
our
program
priorities
and
that
the
city
council
review
and
approve
any
changes
to
the
stormwater
management
program.
G
The
city
stormwater
management
program
is
comprised
of
several
required
minimum
control
measures
next
slide,
please.
These
include
requirements
for
public
education
and
engagement,
around
water
quality
and
preventing
pollution,
eliminating
discharges
of
anything
other
than
storm
water
regulating
construction
sites.
G
G
G
Hydraulic
fluid
leaking
from
a
faulty
piece
of
equipment,
a
concrete
truck
washing
out
its
drum
inappropriately
a
business
having
a
sanitary
line
connected
directly
to
the
storm
sewer
system
or
trash
blowing
out
of
an
unsecured
garbage
can
or
dropped
into
the
street.
That's
causing
the
problems
that
we're
seeing
at
lake
hiawatha,
just
a
couple
of
notes
about
what
isn't
an
illicit
discharge.
There
are
some
things,
such
as
firefighting,
water,
because
this
is
a
public
safety
issue.
G
G
G
This
is
the
most
common
way
that
we
find
problems
is,
is
residents
and
their
eyes
on
the
on
the
streets
and
in
their
neighborhoods.
Public
works
also
has
a
program
for
televising
our
storm
sewer
lines
through
televising.
We
can
see
if
there
are
any
connections
or
constant
discharges
to
our
system,
that
shouldn't
be
there.
G
Then
the
next
question
is:
what
do
we
do
about
these
discharges?
All
resident
complaints
of
discharges
are
investigating
by
investigated
by
inspectors
in
the
health
department
when
they
discover
an
illicit
discharge.
The
first
step
is
to
determine
if
it
can
be
cleaned
up
and
the
what
what
the
best
way
is
to
clean
it.
G
If
staff
determines
that
the
discharge
is
intentional,
then
we
step
in
to
issue
citations.
Along
with
the
cleanup
efforts.
Some
are
one-time
accidents,
so
there's
no
need
to
issue
any
citations,
but
in
all
cases
we
will
try
to
provide
clean
up
where
possible.
G
G
G
One
of
the
other
successes
that
we've
seen
this
past
year
was
last
summer
with
the
fires
that
were
on
lake
street.
The
city
was
able
to
coordinate
with
the
pollution
control
agency
to
get
containment
booms
out
in
on
on
the
river,
as
well
as
at
bidet
makoska
and
any
petroleum
products.
We
were
actually
able
to
remove
from
those
lakes
I
mentioned
earlier
that
firefighting
discharges
aren't
technically
illicit
discharges
under
our
permit.
G
G
G
The
university
also
owns
its
own
storm
sewer
system,
but
it's
very
connected
with
the
city
system
and
it
impacts
water
resources
that
are
important
to
both
of
us.
The
university
is
responsible
for
several
outfalls,
that
discharge
directly
to
the
mississippi
river
and
on
the
fires
and
regulatory
services
were
able
to
partner
on
their
own
spill.
Drills
training.
G
G
G
The
city
has
a
number
of
clean
city
programs
like
adopt
a
trash,
can
or
adopt
a
recycling
container
through
the
city's,
solid
waste
and
recycling
division.
There's
also
adopt
a
block
or
community
cleanup
events
that
also
help
to
educate
the
public
and
help
minimize
the
pollutants
that
can
make
their
way
into
our
waters.
G
B
Are
there
any
questions
per
the
staff
presentation
on
this
item?
I
see
council
member
johnson.
H
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
and
I
really
appreciate
miss
out
the
mention
especially
of
lake
hiawatha
and
the
impacts
there,
and
just
the
the
focus
and
emphasis
on
this,
and
when
I
was
looking
at
the
next
steps.
One
thing
that
seemed
to
me
like
it
was
missing.
It
was
part
of
the
conversation
from
last
time,
so
I
just
wanted
to
get
clarification
on.
H
That
is,
if
you
know,
there's
going
to
be
more
thought
consideration
on
potential
standards
around
the
amount
of
waste
being
discharged
or
trash
specifically
being
discharged
into
lakes
and
streams
in
our
waterways.
G
Thank
you,
councilmember
johnson.
As
far
as
setting
standards,
we
only
had
this
discussion
two
weeks
ago
and
it
has
been
a
topic
of
conversation.
However,
that
decision
has
not
been
made.
G
We
certainly
want
prioritize,
are
working
to
prioritize
trash
and
understanding
that
this
is
a
a
major
public
nuisance
and,
and
that
is
impacting
our
water
bodies.
However,
I
don't
believe
that
a
decision
has
been
made
on
changing
any
standards,
anything
that
we
did
with
changing
standards,
especially
as
it
relates
to
our
permit.
We
would
have
to
work
with
the
state
pollution
control
agency
on.
H
Thank
you.
I
appreciate
the
thoughts
on
that.
I
would
love
to
see
continued
conversation
with
our
state
partners
on
that
and
hopefully
get
some
standards
in
place
and
be
setting
a
high
bar
here,
and
my
challenge
would
really
be.
You
know:
how
can
we
work
towards
eliminating
any
trash
and
litter
entering
our
waterways
in
the
city,
and
that
is
certainly,
I
think,
an
aspirational
goal
when
you
have
over
a
thousand
miles
of
streets
and
so
many
different
connections
and
properties
sloping
into
these
waterways
and
such.
H
But
I
also
think
it's
a
goal,
an
aspirational
goal
worth
setting
and
then
working
towards.
How
do
we
get
there
and
what
are
the
best
ways,
and
certainly
you
highlighted
some
of
those
with
the
next
steps,
for
instance
around
education
and
engagement
and
going
after
specific
sources
as
well
and
investigating.
H
However,
I
think
there's
more
that
we
could
do
certainly
and
would
love
to
see
how
setting
some
standards
around
that
could
help
advance
that
and
help
guide
investment.
I
mean
everything
when
I
think
of
you
know
the
work
that
happens
at
city
hall.
H
Everything
seems
to
happen
when
we
have
those
higher
level
plans
in
place
and
the
details
come
in
later
in
the
specific
actions
and
the
investments
that
are
guided,
and
we
do
that,
whether
it's
with
our
transportation
action
plan
or
our
vision,
zero
passed
by
this
council
and
in
this
committee,
which
I
think
is
a
a
great
goal,
and
so
hopefully
we
can
have
similar
around
litter
and
pollution.
And
certainly
I
look
forward
to
talking
beyond
this
meeting
with
you
and
the
department
and
the
division
around
how
we
can
advance
this
works.
H
B
Not
seeing
anyone
anyone
online
not
seen
any
indication,
I
will
close
the
public
hearing
move
the
item
before
us
and
ask
if
there's
discussion
from
committee
not
seen
any
I'd,
have
the
clerk
to
call
the
role.
A
I
C
J
F
A
A
K
Right
so
this
is
the
the
presentation
for
the
proposed
truck
parking
ordinance
amendment.
If
we
can
move
on
to
the
next
slide,.
K
The
this
effort
has
been
going
on
it
formally
got
kicked
off
in
august
of
2019,
there
had
been
a
growing
number
of
complaints
from
residents
and
businesses
throughout
the
city
about
issues
around
truck
parking
council.
Vice
president
jenkins
and
council
member
cunningham
introduced
a
notice
of
intent
to
change
ordinance
back
again
in
august
20
of
19.
in
september
of
2019.
K
K
This
work
was
moving
along
and
it
kind
of
it
got
derailed
with
onset
of
covet
with
everything
that
was
going
on.
It
was
just
a
challenging
time
and
there's
a
lot
of
stress
on
supply
chains,
so
the
work
group
did
pause
work
for
a
while.
We
got
a
number
of
renewed
complaints
starting
late
last
winter
into
january.
The
work
group
formally
picked
up
work
again
in
march
of
2021
and
we
ultimately
set
the
public
hearing
back
in
may
of
2021,
and
here
we
are
today
to
hold
the
public
hearing
next
slide.
K
K
The
the
complaints
that
we
get
from
residents
and
businesses
generally
fall
into
two
categories.
First,
is
traffic
safety,
so
when
a
large
oversized
vehicle
parks
on
the
side
of
the
road,
it
creates
a
lot
of
obstructed
sight
lines
at
driveways
and
intersections
it'll
obstruct
regulatory
signage,
so
speed,
speed
limits
and
other
types
of
regulatory
signs
narrows
travel
lanes
both
for
motor
vehicles
and
bike
lanes.
The
other
major
category
is
livability
and
environmental
concerns,
so
obstructive
views
of
business,
signage
and
even
the
addresses
of
the
businesses.
K
If
there's
a
line
of
trucks
along
the
street
reduced
parking
for
visitors,
there's
a
lot
of
noise
and
emissions,
complaints
that
we
get
about
the
vehicles
as
well,
and
then
there
tends
to
be
a
lot
of
trash
and
litter
build
up
both
from
food
and
beverage
and
from
vehicle
maintenance.
We
actually
have
a
public
works
crew
that
does
a
sweep
every
week
along
washington
avenue
north
to
to
pick
up
some
of
the
trash.
So
next
slide,
please.
K
The
current
ordinance
that
addresses
the
parking
of
large
vehicles
is
pretty
narrow
and
most
of
the
vehicles
that
we
get
complaints
about
are
actually
in
compliance
with
ordinance
that
are
legally
parked.
The
only
current
prohibition
in
in
ordinance
is
that
any
vehicle
over
six
thousand
pounds
that
parks
in
a
residentially
zoned
r1
through
r6
district,
would
be
out
of
compliance
with
ordinance.
K
So
any
of
the
vehicle
that
is
overweight
is
still
allowed
to
park
on
residential
streets
if
they're
engaged
in
loading,
unloading
and
providing
service,
but
throughout
the
city
generally,
there's
no
restriction
on
the
size
of
the
vehicle
based
on
weight.
So
again
many
of
the
vehicles
we
get
complaints
about
are
legally
parked.
If
you
continue
to
the
next
slide,
please.
K
The
next
several
slides
are:
are
images
pulled
directly
from
google
street
view
to
demonstrate
that
something
has
changed
like
this
is
not
a
problem.
That's
always
been
there.
The
increasing
number
of
complaints
you
know
are
due
to
an
increase
in
actual
trucks
parking.
So
this
is
one
of
the
the
concentrated
areas
that
we
get
complaints
about,
nicolette
avenue
facing
south
at
lake
street,
as
you
can
see
back
in
2014,
not
a
truck
to
be
seen
on
the
street.
Here
in
2019
the
most
recent
street
view.
K
K
This
is
washington,
avenue
north
there's,
approximately
a
mile
long
stretch
of
washington
avenue
north,
where
we
see
concentrated
truck
parking.
This
is
washington,
looking
north
at
24th
avenue.
So,
as
you
can
see,
2016
even
no
trucks
lined
up
there
in
2019.
There's
several
trucks
lined
up
on
both
sides
of
the
street
next
slide.
K
This
is
in
the
seward
neighborhood
on
26th
avenue,
south
right
outside
of
memory
lanes
the
bowling
alley
there
again,
2014
no
trucks,
either
side
of
the
street.
You
see
several
trucks
parked
on
both
sides
of
the
street
in
2019.
This
is
this
is
a
good
illustration
of
an
example
of
trucks,
encroaching
on
a
bike
lane
as
well
as
you
can
see
here
next
slide.
Please.
K
A
business
owner
raid
outside
of
here
has
complained
several
times,
because
they're
actually
unable
to
get
deliveries
from
larger
trucks
to
their
business.
Now
the
the
street
is
so
narrow
that
when
they
get
deliveries,
if
it's
the
truck
is
too
large,
it
doesn't
have
enough
radius
to
get
into
the
driveway.
So
so
it
is
an
increasing
problem.
K
So
if
you
could
go
to
the
next
slide,
we
do
get
complaints
about
truck
parking
from
many
areas
of
the
city,
not
the
ones
that
were
just
listed
on
the
photographs
previously,
and
so
the
the
red,
the
red
circles
here
kind
of
illustrate
the
areas
that
we
get
the
most
complaints
about.
They
do
tend
to
be
along
major
freeway
corridors,
sort
of
just
off
of
freeways
and
are
often
snug
up
against
neighborhoods
that
are
formally
designated
as
areas
of
concentrated
poverty
throughout
the
city.
So
it
truly
is
a
city-wide
issue.
K
There
are
many
city
boards
that
are
affected
by
this.
So
if
we
can
move
on
to
the
next
slide,
the
big
question
then
is:
where
are
all
these
trucks
coming
from
what
has
changed?
And
so,
when
we've
looked
into
this
and
done
the
demand
analysis,
it
was
helpful.
The
state
department
of
transportation
published
a
truck
parking
study
just
in
2019,
and
that
illustrates
that
you
know.
In
the
past
decade
there
has
been
a
large
increase
in
the
overall
tonnage
of
trucks.
K
When
we
dug
a
little
deeper,
we
did
find
that
there
has
been
an
overall
increase
in
the
amount
of
locally
based
small
carrier
companies,
and
so
a
lot
of
these
are
small
businesses
of
one
to
five
trucks.
You
know,
essentially,
if
you
get
a
loan
for
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
and
buy
your
own
truck
boom,
you
have
your
own
small
business
and
so
many
of
the
trucks
that
we
see
parking
out.
K
There
are
these
small
carrier,
businesses
that
have
formed
in
the
last
five
to
ten
years
and
are
based
out
of
our
state
in
our
region
so
and
then
trying
to
get
our
hands
around
the
scope
of
this
problem.
We've
done
some
surveys
and
we're
estimating
there's
around
two
to
three
hundred
trucks
that
are
parked
on
our
streets
at
any
given
time.
The
peak
demand
is
typically
on
evenings
and
weekends
when
we
see
them
generally,
why
are
they
parking
on
their
streets?
There's
a
couple
of
reasons
of
a
general
lack
of
options.
K
It's
it's
widely
known
in
the
trucking
industry
that
there's
a
national
shortage
in
truck
parking
in
the
state
of
minnesota
in
our
msp
region
is
no
different.
Finding
truck
parking
is
a
challenge
for
truck
drivers.
Generally,
we
did
a
survey
of
some
of
the
truck
parking
facilities
in
our
area
and
they
generally,
we
generally
found
that
they
had
waiting
lists
of
people
trying
to
get
in
to
to
have
a
deal
to
park
their
truck
at
those
facilities.
K
Additionally,
many
of
the
the
metro
area-
cities
that
we've
looked
into
do
have
tighter
restrictions
on
what
vehicles
can
park
on
their
streets
than
we
have
in
minneapolis,
whether
it's
a
notebook
right,
prohibition,
restrictions,
mortgage
restrictions
based
on
zoning
or
time
of
day.
So
that's
one
of
the
some
of
the
reasons
they
end
up
on
our
streets.
The
the
rules
around
commercial
driver's
license
also
drive
a
lot
of
the
demand
for
truck
parking.
K
So
that's
leads
to
a
lot
of
what
we
see
when
we
see
trucks
parked
for
several
days
on
and
it's
it's
the
drivers
taking
that
weekly
reset
and
then,
if
the
drivers
do
prefer
to
stage
either
near
where
they
are
going
to
pick
up
their
load
in
the
morning
or
near
their
home,
because
the
closer
they
can
park
to,
where
they're
going
to
either
get
in
their
truck
or
pick
up
their
load
at
max's
maximizes
the
amount
of
hours
that
they
can
be
driving.
K
So
for
any
ordinance
amendment
we
we
have
to
do
a
racial
and
equity
impact
analysis,
and
so
of
course
we
did
one
for
this
and
there's
there's
two
major
dimensions
that
we
uncovered.
One
is
that
many
of
the
owners
and
drivers
of
the
vehicles
that
are
parked
on
the
streets
of
minneapolis
are
people
of
color.
We
dug
in
the
u.s
department
of
labor
has
statistics
that
about
40
of
truck
drivers
are
people
of
color.
K
We
tried
to
uncover
some
statistics
specific
to
minnesota
and
our
region,
but
it
was
difficult
to
to
get
any
specific
demographic
info,
but
just
the
outreach
and
engagement
we
did,
we
did
find
that
there
were
many
people
of
color
that
that
are
drivers
of
these
trucks,
particularly
a
lot
of
folks
from
immigrant
communities,
both
somali
among
communities,
east
african
communities
in
general,
there's
a
general
low
barrier
of
entry
to
start
your
own
business.
So
we
just
have
found
that
a
lot
of
immigrants
are
start
their
own
business
by
starting
their
own
small
trucking
company.
K
The
other
dimension
through
the
equity
lens,
though,
is
the
environmental,
health
and
safety
and
environmental
justice.
A
lot
of
the
clusters
of
truck
parking
tend
to
be
near.
Our
are
formerly
designated
areas
of
concentrated
poverty
in
the
city.
So
a
lot
of
the
the
environmental
and
safety
hazards
posed
by
the
trucks
parking.
K
The
residents
of
these
neighborhoods
need
are
exposed
to
those
hazards.
If
we
can
go
to
the
next
slide,
it's
a
repeat
of
the
same
map.
We
saw
before
just
illustrating
that
a
lot
of
the
many
of
the
areas
where
we
have
high
volumes
of
truck
parking
are
in
and
around
these
acp15
neighborhoods.
So
next
slide,
please
so,
and
after
studying
this
issue
and
gathering
input,
we
came
up
with
some
general
goals
that
we
wanted
to
accomplish
with
the
amendment
first.
K
K
We
wanted
to
focus
on
the
largest
commercial
vehicles
right,
so
you
know
a
lot
of
the
complaints
that
we
get
are
truly
due
to
like
full-size,
semis
and
full-sized
box
trucks
that
are
out
there.
A
lot
of
those
smaller
and
medium-sized
urban
delivery
vehicles
are
not
causing
many
of
the
issues
that
that
we
get
complaints
about,
and
then
we
wanted
to
focus
on
vehicles
that
are
not
in
service.
We
generally
don't
get
complaints
about
vehicles
that
are
actively
engaged
in
loading,
unloading
and
providing
service.
K
We
get
a
lot
of
complaints
about
vehicles
that
are
parked
for
hours
and
even
days
on
end,
so
that
was
one
of
the
main
goals
and
then,
even
though
we
understand
there's
a
shortage
of
parking
options
in
our
metro
area,
we
felt
that,
since
there
is
ample
free
and
legal
on-street
parking
in
minneapolis,
it
does
didn't
incentivize
additional
designed
facilities
to
form
in
our
metro
area.
If
we're
going
to
have
a
healthy
and
vibrant
trucking
community
in
our
metro
area,
there
needs
to
be
appropriate
facilities
built
for
these
vehicles.
K
Parking
them
on
the
street
is
not
really
the
appropriate
place
for
them
to
be.
When
they're
not
in
service,
so
next
slide,
please
so
the
the
key
elements
of
the
amendment
here,
the
big
one,
the
primary
crux
of
the
whole
amendment
is,
you
know
our
current
ordinance
does
not
have
a
city-wide
restriction.
It's
limited
only
to
restricting
the
size
of
vehicles
parking
residential
areas,
so
the
the
amendment
would
prohibit
any
vehicle
over
26
000
pounds
from
parking
on
any
city
street
unless
they
were
actively
engaged
in
loading,
unloading
and
providing
service.
K
We
picked
that
threshold
of
26
000
pounds
because,
generally
speaking,
any
vehicle
with
that
weighs
over
26
000
pounds
or
has
a
carrying
capacity
over
26
000
pounds
requires
the
driver
to
have
a
commercial
driver's
license.
So
this
helps
us
specifically
target.
You
know
the
commercial
vehicles
that
are
out
there,
while
we're
altering
the
ordinance
we're
modernizing
who
can
park
in
residentially
zoned
areas.
Currently
it's
set
at
six
thousand
pounds
and
we're
raising
that
up
to
ten
thousand
pound
threshold.
We
do
not
see
this
is
very
controversial.
K
This
is
more
so
modernizing
the
ordinance
for
current
vehicle
standards
and
then
currently,
if
someone's
in
violation
of
this
ordinance,
there's
a
45
parking
citation
for
this,
and
we
have
found
our
enforcement
has
found
that
a
lot
of
truck
drivers
will
consider
this
kind
of
that
citation
the
cost
of
doing
business.
And
so
we
are
also
including
an
elevated
citation
fee
for
the
first
year.
It
would
be
dollars
and
then
elevate
up
to
250
starting
in
january
of
2023.
K
K
This
is
a
graphic
to
illustrate
the
sizes
of
vehicles
that
we're
talking
about,
so
the
ten
thousand
pounder
less
on
the
left
would
be
vehicles
that
would
be
able
to
legally
park
in
residential
areas.
So
a
lot
of
minivans,
suvs
and
full-size
pickups
are
technically
currently
out
of
compliance,
but
the
city-wide
restriction
would
apply
to
all
the
vehicle
classes
on
the
right
hand,
side
the
26
000
pounds
and
over.
K
So
it's
truly
the
you
know
the
truck
tractors,
the
sleeper
semi
cabs
and
the
largest
sizes
of
box
trucks
that
would
be
prohibited
from
parking
throughout
the
city.
There
are
still
a
lot
of
vehicles,
a
lot
of
commercial
vehicles
that
would
legally
be
able
to
park
throughout
the
city.
The
kind
of
urban
delivery
style
box
trucks
and
many
of
the
single
axle
box
trucks
would
still
be
allowed
to
park
on
city
streets
next
slide.
K
And
as
far
as
an
implementation
timeline
we
wanted
to
ensure
we
gave
plenty
of
notice
that
something
was
changing.
If
this
is
passed,
so
we
did
build
in
the
six-month
education
phase.
That
will
give
us
time
to
distribute
a
lot
of
information,
so
that
would
have
us
starting
standard
enforcement
in
january
of
2022.
K
In
the
meantime,
we
would
take
up
several
outreach
strategies,
including
just
directly
distributing
material
to
the
vehicles
that
we
see
parked
out
there,
that
the
ordinances
change
we
would
appear
on
some
of
the
cultural
radio
shows
just
knowing
that
many
of
the
drivers
themselves
are
from
immigrant
communities
and
english
may
not
be
the
first
language,
and
then
we
continue
some
of
the
outreach
we've
already
done
to
trucking
industry
organizations
to
to
just
get
word
out
to
that
trucking
community
generally
so,
and
then.
K
Finally,
the
last
slide,
where
are
the
vehicles
going
to
go?
That's
one
of
the
big
questions
with
this
right,
so
we
have
worked
with
our
community
planning
and
economic
development
department
to
identify
some
of
the
facility
and
licensing
requirements.
If
there
are
any
developers
that
would
be
interested
in
developing
a
truck
parking
facility
within
minneapolis
and
so
they're,
I
think
it
would
be
mostly
in
industrially
zoned
areas.
K
It
would
be
permitted,
and
so
we
have
that
ready
and
available
if,
if
there
are
developers
that
would
like
to
work
with
us
on
developing
a
facility
within
minneapolis,
however,
we
you
know
our
understanding
of
this
is
that
you
know
the
truck
parking
issue
is
really
a
state
and
regional
problem,
and
I
think
we
feel
that
it
needs
a
state
and
regional
solution.
K
K
And
finally,
we
did
also
include
a
provision
with
the
proposed
amendment
where
an
adjacent
property
owner
would
be
able
to
request
an
exception
to
the
weight
limit,
and
so
if,
if
there
is
a
business
that
does
rely
on
trucks
being
able
to
park
next
to
them,
they
can
request
a
one
of
these
exception
zones
near
them
or
next
to
their
business.
K
We
have
some
evaluation
criteria
developed
so
that
we
could
make
sure
that
we're
avoiding
some
of
the
hazards
that
are
currently
created
by
them,
but
but
that
would
be
an
option
for
adjacent
property
under
stats.
That
would
like
an
exception
zone.
So
with
that.
That
is
the
end
of
the
presentation.
J
Where
is
the
line
where
we
would
start
enforcing,
where
we
would
say
this
truck
is
in
active
use,
or
this
truck
is
parked,
because
there's
obviously
going
to
be
times
in
the
loading
and
unloading
process
where
it's
gonna,
where
a
truck
is
gonna
appear
to
be
parked,
but
obviously
they're
still
in
the
process
of
actively
loading
or
unloading.
It
seems
clear
to
me
that
people
unloading,
a
truck,
might
take
a
15-minute
break
at
some
point,
while
they're
doing
that
activity
are
they
expected
to
move
the
truck
during
that
time?
J
What's
what's
the
level
of
tolerance
and-
and
I'm
asking
for
a
couple
of
reasons-
one
I
just
want
to
understand
sort
of
what
what
we're
putting
on
people,
but
also
there's
an
enforcement
dynamic
to
this,
because
we're
actually
not
very
good
at
enforcing
parking
rules.
That
would
require
us
to
note
that
somebody
is
doing
something
at
one
time
and
then
come
back
a
second
time
to
complete
the
enforcement
action.
J
K
I
Committee,
member
reich
and
fletcher
what
we
would
do
and
what
we
currently
do
is
a
lot
of
trucks
have
up
to
30
minutes
to
vote
and
unload
in
downtown
truck
zones
and
other
zones
citywide.
So
our
agents
would
go
out
and
chalk
the
vehicle
for
30
minutes.
We
usually
give
a
five
to
ten
minute
grace
period
on
that
and
at
either
the
initial
chalking
or
when
we
return
to
pick
it
up.
I
J
Thank
you.
So
that's
so
that
sounds
fairly
muddy
in
terms
of
of
of
what
that's,
how
that's
actually
going
to
play
out
in
practice
and
that
I
I'll
say
that's
a
little
bit
concerning
to
me.
I
I
think
that's
my
only
question
for
now
I'll,
let
us
get
to
the
public
hearing
and
then
I'll
probably
have
some
more
comments.
After
we've
heard
from
the
public.
B
B
If
the
people
who
are
presenting
and
making
comment
could
list
their
name
and
address
for
the
record
and
proceed
to
make
comment,
we
will
be
putting
a
two
minute
limit
per
presenter
and
commenter
and
starting
with
iman
mefflay.
Please
state
your
name
and
address
for
the
record.
L
Dale
thank
you
for
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
time
today
and
and
first
off
I
want
to.
I
want
to
appreciate
jeff
miller
and
his
quick
responses
and
the
challenges
that
he's
tried
to
come
across
to
help
our
businesses
out
there.
We
are
located
on
2540,
24th
avenue
south
on
the
corner,
just
east
of
minnehaha
on
26th
street.
L
It's
multiple
times
where
we
have
trucks
parking
in
our
no
parking
zones.
I
did
send
some
pictures
out
there
where
either
trying
to
pull
out
of
our
driveway
parking
lot
we're
trying
to
pull
out
onto
from
24th
on
to
26th,
there's
no
sight
lines,
because
these
trucks
are
parked
right
up
to
the
corner
illegally
parked
and
I
did
send
a
picture.
There's
been
an
accident
or
two
out
there
already
where
cars,
where
there's
not
enough
room
in
the
in
the
lanes
where
you
have
cars
or
trucks
on
both
sides,
they're
parked
out
there.
L
M
John
yes,
yes
good
afternoon,
john
house
lauden,
president
of
the
minnesota
trucking
association,
and
I
do
want
to
thank
the
city
staff
for
the
discussions
that
we
did
have
leading
up
to
the
presentation
of
today's
proposed
ordinance.
It's
probably
no
surprise
to
you
that
the
minnesota
trucking
association
strongly
opposes
the
truck
parking
ban
under
consideration
by
the
city
of
minneapolis.
M
M
The
first
and
last
mile,
for
nearly
all
the
food
clothing,
medicine,
raw
materials
and
finished
goods
consumed
or
produced
in
the
city
of
minneapolis,
is
delivered
by
a
truck
as
noted
many
trucks
park
overnight
near
their
morning.
Pickup
and
delivery
locations
to
meet
very
narrow
customer
time
requirements
staging
far
outside
the
city,
then
driving
in
during
morning
rush
hour
is
impractical
and,
more
importantly,
it
does
cut
into
the
available
on
duty
and
driving
time
for
hours,
and
if
this
ordinance
is
passed,
it
could
make
a
truck
driver
shortage.
Much
worse.
M
B
That
would
be
the
two-minute
limit
to
the
presentation
if
there's
a
written
submission
of
the
position
of
of
your
organization.
That
would
be
in
the
public
record
as
well.
O
O
I'm
gonna
I've
got
letters
from
four
different
business
owners,
but
I
won't
read
directly
from
them
main
things
that
we've
been
talking
about.
Is
that
number
one?
Nobody
is
doubting
that
the
truck
drivers
are
hard
working,
that
they
are
people
of
color
and
that
they
are
small
business
people.
But
the
fact
is
is
that,
unfortunately,
parking
on
the
streets
in
this
area
is
eliminating
a
lot
of
the
business
for
small
business
owners
in
the
area,
many
of
whom
are
again
small
business
owners.
O
People
of
color.
Many
of
the
same
things
are
needed
by
both.
The
fact
is
is
that
it
also,
as
we've
discussed
before,
creates
quite
a
bit
of
difficulty
in
in
parking
not
only
parking
for
our
customers,
but
also
safety
and
there's
been
trash
left
of
where
the
trucks
were
parked
containers
of
urine
it's.
O
It
just
makes
it's
very
difficult
for
a
business
area
to
be
dealing
with
this
kelly
harrington
at
my
company
mentioned
that
beautiful
boulevard,
trees
are
damaged
and
tree
limbs
have
been
torn
away,
and
that
makes
recruiting
employers
employees
harder
because
they
have
to
park
five
to
six
blocks
away
to
get
to
work.
O
I
have
iman
maslodge
letter
as
well,
and
she
has
talked
with
a
truck
driver
who
parks
in
front
of
her
place
and
she
understands
his
plight,
but
unfortunately
she's
paying
taxes
to
run
a
business
in
minneapolis
and
she
actually
supports
the
roads
that
people
can
park
on
that,
allow
them
to
come
into
her
business
and,
unfortunately,
her
her
taxes
were
raised.
She
says
50
this
year,
so
at
the
same
time
as
these
are
other
small
business
owners.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you
for
those
comments
and
again
any
written
submission
would
be
part
of
the
record.
We
now
have
anita
realm.
N
N
Right,
27,
16,
east
26th
street,
and
so
I'm
the
first
resident
and
and
the
black
has
been
divided.
It's
commercial
like
10
feet
to
the
west
of
my
house.
It's
it's!
It's
been
a
horrible
year
being
at
home
and
providing
telehealth
to
people
in
mental
health
and
substance
use.
One
of
my
hats
that
I
wear
is
a
tobacco
treatment
specialist.
N
I
got
trained
at
the
mayo
clinic
and
I
can
only
say
that
there's
just
no,
it's
a
totally
environmental
justice
issue
for
me
to
to
see
truck
a
truck
park
next
to
a
house.
I
I've
had
a
refrigeration
unit
running
for
30
hours
in
a
row.
The
air
is
saturated
with
diesel
fumes,
diesel
fumes
are
carcinogenic,
they've
got
they've,
got
gases
and
foot
particles.
N
N
So
these
fulfillments
work
pretty
much
the
same
as
tobacco,
and
it
takes
a
while
for
that
science
in
that
education
to
get
through
to
people
to
understand
the
risks,
involve
the
health
risks
and
and
at
the
same
time,
we're
dealing
with
a
disease
of
cova
that
affects
people.
N
You
know
at
greater
proportion
that
have
respiratory
problems,
so
heart
disease,
cancer
of
all
the
organs.
M
P
We
constantly
you
know
80
to
95
of
the
time,
have
a
large
semi
just
outside
our
windows.
From
the
meditation
hall
we
have
fumes,
parking
is
difficult
trash
on
the
street
and
it
just
seems
really
hard
for
the
city
to
reinforce
the
just.
How
long
those
trucks
are
there.
I
know.
Sometimes
they
come
out
and
they're
ticketed,
but
it
just
doesn't
seem
to
be
addressing
how
many
days
in
a
row
the
cars
or
the
rather
the
trucks
are
there.
P
B
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
your
comments.
Next,
we
have
oasis
farah,
please
state
your
name
and
address
for
the.
B
B
Not
seen
any
indication
there,
we
will
go
to
the
next
in
line
which
is
darius.
Please
state
your
name
and
address
for
the
record.
Q
P
Q
Q
As
a
minnesota,
trucking
association
cleveland
still
said,
there
are
shortages
of
parking
spots
in
in
the
metro.
There
may
be
a
couple
of
maybe
truck
storage
doors
fill
up
quickly
and
we
don't
have
anywhere
to
go.
This
is
our
house,
and
this
is
our
home.
This
way
we
live.
We
need
some
space
support.
We
don't
have
an
alternative.
We
need
a
policy
that
works
for
all
of
us.
You
know
fair
and
equitable.
Q
Q
You
know
you
are
doing
an
outrage
after
you
you,
you
pass
this
ordinance
telling
them
hey
this,
but
this
is
not
fair.
I
think
you
know.
I
just
saw
this
coming
up
on
the
I
was
googling,
something
I
see
I
saw
the
internet,
you
know
the
truck
drivers
who
are
we
are
kidding
their
families
live
here,
don't
know
what
happened
here.
Q
I
think
this
is
going
to
the
wrong
place.
It
needs
to
be
stopped.
This
is
where
we
live.
This
is
where
our
homeless,
when
listening
space
to
park,
we
you
have
to
come
up
with
alternative.
You
know
we
cannot
look
for
alternative
after
this
ordinances,
but
this
is
the
right
hand
to
look
for
alternative
if
you
want.
If
you
were
about
this
three
parking,
this
community
has
already
suffered
a
directed
targeted
ordinance,
that's
happening.
Q
You
know
that
that's
it's
really
frustrating
to
see
these
things
happen.
So
I
think
we
need
to
have
we
have
to
involve.
We
have
to
make
an
outfit
to
the
community
and
especially
east
african
communities
that
are
working
hard
to
provide
for
their
families
we
need
somewhere.
I
mean
we
can
just
we
need
somewhere
to
come.
We
have
to
come
to
our
home
where
we
will
go
track,
full
schools.
There
are
only
two
or
three:
that's
30
minutes
away.
Q
B
Thank
you
for
your
comments
that
completes
the
list
that
I
initially
had.
Is
there
any
other
indication
of
others
I
haven't
seen
any?
I
will
do
another
call
for
anyone
who
might
be
on
to
press
star
six
and
address
the
committee.
B
I
see
an
indication
of
that
with
that
I
will
close
the
public
hearing.
I
will
move
the
item
and
I
do
know
that
councilmember
fletcher
had
indicated
further
inquiry
from
from
him.
Councilman
fletcher.
J
Important
that
we
actually
addressed
this
issue,
I
think
the
diagnosis
of
the
problem
is
exactly
right.
I
think
that
a
lot
of
the
concerns
raised
echo
things
that
I've
heard
in
in
ward
3
from
constituents.
I
will
also
say
that
there
is
a
an
investment
that
we
have
not
made
in
in
regulatory
services
capacity
that
I
think
we
would
have
to
make.
So
I'm
a
little
bit
curious
about
it.
J
Maybe
staff
can
speak
to
what
the
fiscal
note
is
that's
attached
to
this,
and
are
we
thinking
about
how
we're
gonna
do
this
enforcement,
because
we
haven't
even
been
able
to
get
enforcement
on
abandoned
cars
and
trucks
that
are
idling,
which
is
already
not
allowed?
J
You
know
for
for
lengths
of
time
when
those
issues
have
arisen
over
the
last
several
years,
and
so
I
I'm
concerned
that
we're
passing
something
that
we
don't
actually
have
the
capacity
to
enforce,
and
I
also
think
that
we're
going
to
need
to
do
a
lot
of
enforcement
because
we're
telling
people
they
can't
park
here,
but
we're
not
addressing
the
issue
of
where
are
they
supposed
to
put
their
vehicles?
And
so
I
think,
we're
going
to
see
a
lot
of
strategic
non-compliance.
J
It
is
sort
of
what
we're
asking
for,
because
we're
not
taking
on
the
the
the
challenge
of
where.
Where
do
these
trucks
go?
So
I
I
I
think,
I'm
probably
not
prepared
to
support
this
today.
Given
that
we're
not
answering
that
final
question,
I
think
it's
pretty
important
that
we
have
an
answer
to
where
trucks
are
supposed
to
go,
given
that
we
still
want
to
receive
goods,
and
I
think
we
need
to
take
some
responsibility
for
that.
J
I've
heard
from
a
lot
of
truck
drivers
who
live
in
ward
3,
who
shared
with
me,
what
how
this
was
going
to
impact
them,
and
you
know
I'll
just
note,
even
in
the
public
hearing
today,
I
I
think
several
of
the
folks
who
were
prepared
to
speak
from
that
position,
either
dropped
off
the
call
or
weren't
able
to
log
in,
but,
but
I
know,
we've
we've
heard
their
feedback
and
I
I
am
open
to
between
now
and
council
figuring
out
a
way
to
modify
this
that
maybe
adjust
the
timeline
to
give
us
more
time
to
figure
out
where
people
are
supposed
to
go
or
or
that
maybe
indexes
the
start
time
for
increasing
the
penalties
to
availability
of
spaces
rather
than
to
a
date
to
give
us
an
incentive
to
figure
out.
J
You
know
how
to
create
space
for
for
trucks,
so
I
I
think
it
is
worth
continuing
to
work
on
this.
I
I
totally
agree
with
the
authors
that
they've
identified
a
problem
that
needs
a
solution,
and
I'm
I'm
just
reluctant
to
support
this.
While
we
don't
have
an
answer
for
our
constituents
who
drive
trucks
and
who
have
invested
their
savings
and
their
livelihoods
in
these
trucks,
that
we
don't
have
an
answer
for
where
are
they
supposed
to
go?
J
B
Thank
you
for
that,
and
I
don't
know
if
there
would
be
an
answer
for
the
more
universal
question
of
where,
where
the
trucks
will
go
and
how
the
industry
will
adjust.
But
if
there
is
a
comment
regarding
the
ability
to
enforce
that
might
be
rather
germane
per
councilman,
fletcher's
question
and
I've
opened
that
up
to
staff
before
I
entertained
other
comments
from
committee.
I
Members
committee,
chair
reich
and
committee
member
fletcher
the
way
that
it's
laid
out
as
of
now
is
for
two
or
three
months.
Public
works
would
be
asked
to
do
education
to
the
drivers
and,
as
I
see
it,
for
the
remaining
three
months
of
the
year,
we
would
issue
warning
citations
to
the
semis
and
councilman
reflectors
right.
There
is
a
lot
out
there.
I
cannot
guarantee
that
we're
gonna
hit
every
single
truck
every
single
day,
because
we
do
have
other
commitments
to
the
city
to
the
sporting
venues
for
traffic
control
etc.
J
Yeah,
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
that
answer,
and
I
I
have
no
doubt
that
you
would
do
the
best
you
can
with
the
resources
that
you
have
whatever
those
resources
are.
I
just,
I
think
it's
our
responsibility
as
policy
makers
to
make
sure
that
we're
thinking
about
the
resource
investment
and
if
this
would
require
extra
staffing
or
or
additional
resources
to
be
able
to
add
enforcement
duties
to
an
already
full
regulatory
services
plate.
J
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
considering
that,
but
thank
you
for
that,
and
I
appreciate
the
thought
and
and
the
planning
and
the
education
work
that
you're
contemplating.
I
think
it
is
very
thoughtful
and
will
be
the
right
way
to
roll
this
out
on
whatever
timeline
we
end
up
doing
it.
B
Now,
thank
you
for
that
and
thank
you
staff
for
the
follow-up
answer.
We
do
have
one
of
the
authors
here
to
perhaps
make
comment,
and
that
would
be
council
vice
president
jenkins,
would
you
please
address
the
staff
and
the
committee.
R
Thank
you,
chair
reich,
and
you
know,
as
as
we
moved
into
this,
really
challenging
work.
The
my
initial
and
deepest
concern
was
around
the
equity
issue
of
drivers,
predominantly
drivers
of
color
immigrant
communities
that
are
that
make
up
the
owner
operator.
R
Community
of
truck
drivers,
as
as
was
noted
in
mr
freed's
presentation,
this
is
a
sort
of
emerging
problem,
his
historically
truck
would
trucks
would
park
at
some
industrial
site
where
they
do
their
deliveries
and
pickups
and
unload
and
or
load
up,
and
you
know,
and
the
trucks
would
stay
there
overnight.
R
The
scenario
has
changed
in
my
mind
into
almost
like
the
gig
economy
that
we
see
with
with
other
types
of
vehicles,
cars,
scooters,
renting,
bikes,
etc.
R
Where
now
that
that
work,
that
used
to
be
done
by
employees
of
a
certain
company
are
are
now
being
and
those
companies
had
responsibilities
for
making
sure
those
trucks
were
stored.
Now
that
has
been
sort
of
outsourced.
If
you
will
to
independent
truck
drivers,
providing
opportunities
for
people
to
have
their
own
small
businesses,
which
is
wonderful.
R
There
is
a
cost
to
doing
business
in
in
our
society.
You
know,
I
I
didn't
create
capitalism,
and
I
think
capitalism
has
some
very
deleterious
impacts
on
our
society.
However,
it
is
the
reality
of
the
world
that
we
live
in,
and
so
you
know
we
we
have
for
two
years
now
reached
out
to
drivers
to
industry
leaders.
I
noticed
I
mean
I
heard
the
testimony
from
the
minnesota
truck
driving
association.
R
I
would
think
that
their
role
is
to
help
truckers,
do
their
jobs
better,
and
so
you
know
we
need
help
to
figure
out
where
these
trucks
can
go.
This
certainly
could
be
another
entrepreneurial
opportunity
for
enterprising
immigrants
of
people
of
color.
I
I
I
actually
know
of
some
people
who
are
planning
more
parking
facilities.
R
They
are,
they
happen
to
be
outside
of
the
city,
and
that
is
that's
unfortunate
in
in
that
we've
heard
some
of
the
testimonies.
This
is
where
I
live.
This
is
where,
but
you
know,
if
you
were,
if
you
owned
a.
R
R
All
of
these
communities
depend
on
the
essential
services
that
truckers
provide.
Last
year
we
had
planned
to
roll
this
out.
Last
year
we
were
hit
with
pandemic
and
subsequent
uprisings,
and
we
we
held
off
on
on
implementation.
We
have
built
a
very,
I
think,
generous
transition
period
education
period
and
we
make
laws.
I
mean
we
have
laws
that
you
can't
run
red
lights.
We
don't.
We
can't
capture
everybody
who
runs
a
red
light,
but
it
doesn't
mean
we
shouldn't
have
that
law
right.
R
We
we
need
to
maintain
that
to
council
members
fletcher's
point.
We
absolutely
must
invest
in
more
traffic
enforcement,
not
only
for
trucks
that
are
parked
on
our
roads,
but
you
know
we
have
drag
races
happening
in
the
middle
of
our
streets,
all
kinds
of
traffic
violations
that
are
occurring,
and
so
we
must
invest
in
more
more
support.
That
has
certainly
been
a
part
of
the
conversation
and
and
really
trying
to
figure
out
destinations
for
these
small
businesses
to
go.
R
I
I
personally
pitched
a
proposal
to
cpad
in
the
past
two
weeks
of
the
city,
helping
to
develop
a
site
outside
of
the
city,
and
I
was
told
that
we
we
can't
do
that,
even
though
it's
drivers
from
our
city
that
would
likely
be
making
use
of
this
facility,
and
so
it's
been
a
struggle.
You've
heard
testimony
from
from
people
and
and
there
there
is
many
more
people
that
I
am
in
communication
with
on
on
both
sides
of
this
issue,
and
so
it
is
a
very
challenging
issue.
R
R
R
B
S
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
thank
you
so
much
for
allowing
me
to
speak
at
committee
today.
I
just
wanted
to
speak
to
a
few
components.
This
legislation
we've
been
working
on
for
quite
some
time.
This
is
a
huge
issue.
In
my
ward.
We
have
about
a
mile
of
back
to
back
semis
on
both
sides
of
the
street
on
washington
avenue.
It
goes
pretty
much
all
the
way
to
dowling
all
the
way
down
to
plymouth.
So
it
is
a
huge
stretch
through
north
minneapolis,
and
you
know
I.
S
I
have
gotten
many
many
complaints
for
small
business
from
small
business
owners
along
washington
avenue
who
wanted
to
see
this
address.
So
when
I
was
like
all
right,
let's
dive
into
it,
I
thought
it
was
going
to
be
pretty
easy
peasy
because
it
felt
pretty
straightforward
and
as
I
as
we,
because
there
were
a
handful
of
us
who
were
involved
in
this
work
as
we
waded
into
the
waters,
we
realized
how
much
more
complicated
it
really
ultimately
was,
and
so
we
have
been
very
thorough
in
this
process.
S
We
had
focus
groups
with
listening
sessions.
We
had
you
know.
Dylan
has
been
amazing
with
all
of
the
work
that
he's
done.
We
have
a
very
solid
piece
of
legislation
that
the
hiccup
that
we
have
had
to
face
is
the
impacts,
the
implications
for
implementation.
S
Council
vice
president
jenkins
says
she
never
thought
it'd
be
easy-peasy.
Well,
I
thought
it
was
going
to
be
easy,
peasy.
So
lessons
on
me,
so
the
work
that
we
have
done
has
been.
We
have
done
our
due
diligence.
S
We
actually
have
done
work
around
what
enforcement
would
look
like,
because
one
of
the
things
that's
important
to
me
as
a
legislator
is
to
have
some
clarity
around
how
we
actually
will
implement
the
legislation
that
is
brought
and
a
question
that
we
haven't
answered,
and
I
think
that
a
part
of
the
challenge
that
we
have
is
who
is
supposed
to
answer
it,
but
it
hasn't
been
answered.
S
So
I
am
happy
to
see
that
we've
included
that
in
our
legislative
agenda,
I'm
happy
that
you
know
cpad
has
done
the
work
to
be
able
to
figure
out
a
pathway
for
if
there
is
an
entrepreneur
who
was
interested
in
stepping
into
this
venture.
So
there
has
been.
You
know
some
some
groundwork
that
has
been
made.
This
is
a
very
hard
topic
because
we're
talking
about
equity
issues
on
both
sides,
environmental
injustice
and
inequities.
S
S
The
room
was
almost
made
up
of
people
entirely
of
people
of
color
and
many
of
whom
actually
lived
in
north
minneapolis.
So
you
know
that
the
question
of
where
folks
should
should
park
is
instead
is
a
question
that
has
somewhat
unfairly
fallen
on
our
shoulders.
S
One
of
the
reasons
why
this
is
also
an
emerging
issue
is
because
the
surrounding
suburbs
have
banned
part
semi-truck
parking
in
their
communities
and
so
we're
one
of
the
last
areas
in
which
actually
people
can
park
their
semis,
and
so
this
broader
question
has
really
fallen
on
to
us,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
kind
of
share
a
little
bit
of
that
nuance.
I'm
proud
of
the
legislation
we've
brought
forward
here.
We
put
our
due
diligence
into
it,
and
you
know
now,
as
policy
makers.
S
It
is
up
to
us
to
be
able
to
to
juggle
what
implementation
looks
like
as
well.
So
I
just
wanted
to
add
that
additional
context
and
when
I
give
a
big
shout
out
to
council
vice
president
jenkins
council,
member
gordon
and
council
member
schrader
for
their
work,
I'm
sorry
I
may
be
missing
someone
but
for
everyone's
work
on
this,
because
this
has
been
a
challenging
body
of
work
over
time.
So
thank
you,
mr
chair.
B
Thank
you
for
that
background
and
commentary
councilmember
johnson.
H
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
and
I
appreciate
hearing
from
the
authors
on
this,
and
I
also
really
appreciate
the
comments
made
by
councilmember
fletcher,
who
I
feel
similarly
to
on
this.
You
know
I
think
he
is
right.
You
know
this
problem
is
real
and
I've
seen
it
myself.
The
blocking
of
bike
lanes
sight
line
issues
idling
of
the
vehicles.
H
I
know
I
spoke
with
council
vice
president
jenkins
about
this
and
some
of
these
trucks
idle
for
hours
at
a
time
in
the
winter
related
to
their
diesel
engines,
and
certainly
I've
heard
from
the
small
business
owners
about
monopolizing
space
in
front
of
businesses.
H
But
a
lot
of
this
to
me
at
least
seems
to
be
really
enforcement
related
because
we
don't
allow
people
to
park
in
bike
lanes
today.
It's
not
legal
to
block
sight
lines,
there's
anti-idling
ordinance
and
even
for
our
small
businesses,
a
lot
of
them
already
implement
time,
restricted
parking
signage
in
order
to
ensure
that
there's
more
movement
and
availability
as
well,
and
so
I'm
really,
I
gotta
just
be
you
know
frank
with
folks
that
I'm
struggling
with
this
one.
I
think
there's
elements
of
this
that
I
do
really
like.
H
I
think
increasing
the
citation
amount
is
really
important
because
it
shouldn't
be
just
a
cost
of
business
with
such
a
low
amount
that
it's
easy
to
essentially
bypass
or
skirt,
and
enforcement,
and
just
you
know,
pay
the
45
dollar
fee
and
as
we're
thinking
about
this
also,
you
know
I
really
want
to
lift
up
what
councilmember
cunningham
said
around.
H
You
know
part
of
the
reason
why
we're
dealing
with
this
is
because
of
other
cities
taking
action
and
we're
one
of
the
last
cities
and
in
a
way
that
has
really
exacerbated.
H
I
think,
personally,
the
the
situation
here
we're
seeing
people
from
other
cities
that
would
be
parking
in
other
cities
that
are
coming
to
minneapolis
because
it's
still
allowed,
and
so
it
it
makes
this
a
much
more
complex
situation
in
that
regard.
H
I'm
also
conflicted
as
well,
because
we
just
reduce
parking
restrictions
by
eliminating
the
parking
minimums
in
the
city
and
have
you
know,
talked
to
constituents
pretty
candidly
that
look
if
it's
a
public
street
people
are
allowed
to
park
on
it
and
we're
not
in
the
business
of
trying
to
enforce
minimums,
either
directly
or
indirectly,
by
banning
and
pushing
people
into
other
spaces.
H
I
also
do
worry
about
a
concern
that
was
raised,
that
this
could
potentially
result
in
more
emissions,
as
people
who
do
live
here
end
up
having
to
park
their
trucks.
You
know
20
miles
out
and
then
having
to
drive
out
and
back
and
adding
to
that,
and
I
think
that
also
could
potentially
make
some
of
these
immigrant
owned,
trucker
businesses
less
competitive
compared
to
some
of
these
bigger,
suburban
trucking
companies.
H
Now,
as
I
say
that
I'll
note
that
ties
directly
back
into
kind
of
that,
first
issue
around,
you
know
these
parking
restrictions
in
other
cities.
There's
some
of
that
happening
today,
where
people
that
live
out
in
the
suburbs
are
driving
to
their
trucks
that
they
park
here
in
the
twin
in
minneapolis,
because
they're
not
allowed
to
park.
Where
they
live,
and
so
you
know
again,
it
just
kind
of
speaks
to
the
complexity
of
this.
H
You
know
also
trucking
centers
are
certainly
ideal
to
have
parking
spaces,
but
I'm
not
sure
that
we
can
expect
that
to
happen
at
least
in
minneapolis,
or
that
we
can
see
a
quick
adaptation
of
the
marketplace
in
order
to
really
meet
that
need,
especially
as
we're
reducing
a
lot
of
space
for
them
today.
H
So
to
me,
it
does
seem
like
to
some
degree
we're
telling
people
that
you
know
this
is
not
our
problem.
What
happens
next
after
this
in
our
effort
to
address
legitimate
problems
here
and
a
lot
of
this
again,
in
my
mind
at
least
ties
back
to
enforcement
issues
and
resourcing
today,
so
like
councilmember
fletcher,
I'm
probably
not
ready
to
support
this
today.
H
I
could
support
moving
it
to
council
without
recommendation
or
will
otherwise
probably
abstain
to
take
more
time
to
consider
this
and
look
at
you
know,
are
there
any
reasonable
adjustments
we
could
make
to
this
base
ordinance
to
make
it
better
and
less
unintended
consequences
as
a
result?
H
But
as
I
say
that
you
know
again,
I
want
to
really
appreciate
all
the
work
that
my
colleagues
put
into
this
and
working
to
address
the
concerns
that
they
face,
that
residents
and
businesses
in
their
communities
face
that
are
real
problems
in
our
city.
We
can't
have
people
out
there
obstructing
bike
lanes,
creating
dangerous
safety
situations
or
creating
dangerous
sight
line
situations
or
polluting
our
air
through
idling
for
hours
or
cutting
off
access
to
our
local
small
businesses
by
really
just
totally
monopolizing
space
in
in
front
of
them,
and
so
these
are
real
things.
H
These
are
real
problems.
They
need
to
be
addressed.
You
know-
and
I
have
reservations
around
whether
this
as
written
at
least,
is
the
right
way
to
address
them,
but
and
here
to
hear
the
continued
discussion
of
this
committee
and
to
continue
talking
with
colleagues
and
engaging
around
this
issue,
because
the
problems
I
I
believe
need
to
be
addressed.
Thank
you.
D
Thank
you
very
much,
and
I
am
I'm
an
enthusiastic
supporter
of
this
effort
and
I
will
be
supporting
your
motion,
mr
chair.
This
is
something
that
I've
dealt
with
extensively
in
my
ward
for
years
and
years
and
the
problem
it
is
complicated.
It's
multifaceted.
D
D
I
have
to
tell
you
I
wasn't
expecting
to
be
some
kind
of
expert
on
truck
parking
when
I
got
into
this
line
of
work,
but
I
since
have
in
fact
I
tried
out
the
app
there's
an
app
now
that
you
can
be
provided
and
that
the
trackers
use
that
directs
you
to
where
the
free
parking
is
once
that
parking
is
illegal,
that
app's
not
going
to
direct
you
there
anymore
and
that's
partly
the
reason,
as
we've
seen
richfield
and
brooklyn
park
and
brooklyn
center
and
others
ban
the
large
semi-truck
parking
from
their
cities.
D
D
I
don't
know
if
you
know
ward,
two
very
well,
but
it's
really
close
to
that
target
and
cub
foods
where
there's
a
massive
surface
parking
lot
available,
and
there
were
some
other
lots
and,
of
course,
people
said
trucks
might
be
able
to
park
on
my
lot,
but
I'd
want
to
get
paid
and
we
of
course
heard
from
the
drivers.
That
said,
they
prefer
the
business
model
now
where
they
wouldn't
have
to
pay
for
the
parking
and
they
they're
not
going
to
try
that
option
which
we
wanted
them
to
willingly
try.
D
So
we
could
help
solve
the
problem
kind
of
voluntarily.
We
also
looked
at
putting
up
no
truck
parking
here
signs
in
in
in
the
ward
2
area
and
that's
kind
of
what
st
paul
has
done,
the
city's
basically
saturated
with
it.
So
they
don't
have
the
same
ordinance,
but
they
have
the
same
impact
as
brickfield
brooklyn
center,
because
they've
just
banded
in
the
industrial
areas
where
it
once
was
allowed.
D
But
of
course,
when
I
was
looking
at
doing
that,
I
realized
that
would
just
create
a
problem
or
it
would
bubble
up
elsewhere
in
other
industrial
areas
throughout
the
city
and
really
wouldn't
solve
it.
We
actually
have
a
a
property
owner
own
some
land
on
hiawatha,
really
curious
about,
while
they're
holding
on
to
this
land
for
redevelopment.
D
Could
they
rent
it
out
for
semi-truck
parking,
and
that's
really
close
to
the
area
that
I'm
talking
about
right
now.
So
we
already
have
one
person
who's
interested
in
seeing
the
market
created
for
them,
and
I
think
that
we
could
indeed
have
others.
In
fact-
and
I
know
we
don't
have
any-
maybe
thank
goodness
in
the
city
but
walmart
that
we
have
many
of
them
in
the
entering
suburbs
out.
D
D
So
I
had
the
opportunity
to
read
the
department
of
transportation's
truck
parking
study
that
they
had
done
and
they
identified
this
as
a
regional
problem
and
they
were
taking
on
themselves
that
we
need
to
come
up
with
some
regional
solutions
and
they're
working
on
that.
What
they
need,
I
think,
is
more
clarity
about
what
cities
are
going
to
allow
and
not
allow,
so
they
can
get
moving
on
on
that
and
start
taking
those
next
steps.
D
We
are
also
looking
at
the
state
and
saying
what
kind
of
resources
would
you
have
for
somebody,
maybe
not
in
minneapolis
but
nearby,
who
wanted
to
create
this
business?
Would
there
be
some
state
money
to
say
we'll
make
you
a
commercial
grade
parking?
You
know,
give
you
money,
so
you
can
create
a
commercial,
great
parking
space
in
your
suburban
land
that
you
own
and
then
they
could
start
this
business
and
create
it.
D
I
know
I
think,
actually,
council,
vice
president
jenkins
has
had
the
most
conversations
with
this
individual
and
I
can't
really
remember
which
suburb
they're
they're
in
but
there's
interest
in
it
already,
and
I
think
we
can
be
patient.
We
can
be
compassionate.
We
can
be
thoughtful
about
it
and
and
help
nurture
some
of
these
alternatives
as
we're
working
on
how
we
can
fix
the
problem
that
we
have
now.
A
lot
of
these
trucks
are
actually
parking
perfectly
they're,
not
trying
to
break
any
rules.
D
They're
just
happen
to
be
parking
legally
and
when
you
have
trucks
of
that
size
parking
legally
on
either
side
of
the
driveway,
it's
very
difficult
to
see
when
you're
going
out
and
we
have
some
busy
streets
where
cars
are
zipping
by
and
somebody's
just
trying
to
pull
out
from
the
you
know
the
credit
union
when
they're
trying
to
get
back
on
the
street
after
they
did
their
business
there
or
you
pick
the
business,
but
that's
an
example
of
one
right
in
this
area
or
also
when
they're
parked
on
both
sides
of
the
streets.
D
How
well
can
you
can
you
see
as
a
driver
somebody
coming
out
of
the
charter
school?
I
drop
off
at
pickup
time,
which
is
located
right
in
the
industrial
zone
and
it's
and
it's
very
challenging
and
difficult
or
the
mosque.
That's
that's
talked
to
me
many
times
about.
How
can
I
help
them
deal
with
this
semi-truck
problem
because
they
are
worried
that
some
of
the
their
kids
who
go
there
or
the
people
who
go
there
to
worship
are
going
to
be
hurt
and
injured
because
of
this
truck
parking
problem?
D
Where
where
nobody
can
see
whether
you're
a
car
or
or
not?
So
it's
a
significant
safety
problem
and
I
think
we've
mapped
out
a
good
solution
to
it
and
I
think
it's
something
we
should
go
into
and
we
should
go
into
it.
You
know
with
eyes,
wide
open
and
realize
it's
going
to
take
some
time.
It's
going
to
take
some
support.
It
will
likely
take
some
focused
budget
effort
for
a
period
of
time
to
make
sure
that
the
education
is
out
there.
D
Alternatives
are
are
seen
and
understood.
We
can
direct
people
to
alternatives
as
we're
giving
them
the
education
as
well,
but
also
that
we
have
a
strong
enforcement
so
that
it's
effective
and
once
it's
effective,
we'll
be
saving
money
and
I
would
suggest
very
likely
saving
lives.
B
Thank
you,
council,
member,
gordon,
and
I
will
take
council
member
pomosano
and
I
do
know.
We've
been
joined
by
councilman
osman,
but
I'll
just
follow
the
queue
starting
with
councilmember
palmisano.
E
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
I
just
want
to
echo
what
some
of
my
colleagues
have
said:
councilmember
jenkins
and
council
member
gordon.
You
know
a
few
years
ago
I
remember
meeting
with
councilmember
cunningham
for
the
first
time
and
when
asked
how
I
could
be
supportive
of
some
of
his
initiatives
and
his
reasons,
for
you
know,
starting
down
a
policy
path
in
certain
places.
This
was
one
of
the
first
things
that
he
brought
up
to
me,
and
this
is
one
of
the
first
things
that
also
council.
E
E
I
think
that
we
have.
There
are
clearly
other
ideas
and
creative
ideas
as
to
where
else
we
could
find
some
amount
of
parking
for
these
for
these
vehicles,
and
I
am
ready
to
support
this
initiative
today.
I
just
wanted
to
make
that
clear.
Thank
you.
B
T
T
I
hear
I
know,
there's
issue
with
parking,
but
as
a
legislative
as
the
city
council
members.
I
think
that
this
will
have
a
huge
impact
in
especially
in
east
african
immigrant
communities.
T
This
pipeline
community
can
go
and
park
will
be,
will
be
just
you
know
devastating
for
them.
You
know
I
have
been
getting
a
lot
of
contact,
a
lot
of
comments
from
the
community
saying
that.
Why
is
the
city's
doing
this?
T
There's
huge
mistrust
already
with
how
the
city
is
run
when
it
comes
to
east
african
community,
but
now
this
will
be
heavily
affected
in
in
my
community
in
here
I
do
hear
sewer
residents
that
are
have
an
issue
and
the
businesses
that
does
have
an
issue
with
truck
parking
on
the
streets.
T
We
all
understand
that,
as
we
hear
different
comments
from
council
members,
but
I
think
you
know
kind
of
taking
a
step
back
and
figuring
out
a
way
to
handle
this
button
resource
behind
it.
This
is
a
large
part
of
the
community,
a
large
part
of
east
african
community
and
immigrant
communities.
As
we
hear
the
presentation
last
week,
you
know
these
communities
contribute
a
lot
city
of
minneapolis.
T
This,
as
we
watched
the
presentation,
this
change
happened
about
within
10
years
and
likely
will
continue,
but
as
we
bring
this
ban,
it
will
be.
T
There
will
be
no
left
no
option
left
for
for
the
families
that
that
live
here
in
my
community.
So
thank
you
all
for
your
leadership
and
I
really
appreciate
those
comments
that
that
you
all
brought
and
but
I
think
that
it's
just
just
wanna
talk
about
the
effect
that
you
will
have
in
this
community
and
really
your
consideration
and
and
and
and
considering
this
will
will
be
much
appreciated.
