Thank
you,
mr
chair
and
members
of
the
committee
again
mike
kennedy,
director
of
transportation

for
public
works.
Today
we
are
here
for
the
public
hearing
for
the
weber
park
street
resurfacing
project
on
december
18
2020,
the
city
council,
designated
the
location
streets
and
improvements
proposed
be
made
in
the
2021
street
resurfacing
program.
Weber
park
project
is
part
of
that
program.
The
weber
park
area
is
made
up
of
local
streets
and
is
bounded
by
49th
avenue,
north
shingle
creek
parkway,
humboldt
avenue,
north
and
lindale
north.
A
As
shown
on
the
map
that
you
see
there,
it
was
basic.
This
project
was
basically
constructed
in
1984
as
part
of
the
residential
paving
program
and
has
currently
has
a
pavement
condition
index
of
63
on
average
through
the
site.
A
The
proposed
street
resurfacing.
Special
assessments
were
determined
by
applying
the
2021
uniform
assessment
rates
to
the
land
area
of
benefited
proper
parcels
located
within
the
street
influence
zone
along
the
improved
streets.
These
assessments
are
not
calculated
based
on
project
costs
alone.
The
city
uses
a
formula
that
combines
influence
area
with
an
annually
established
uniform
assessment
rate.
This
formula
care
is
carefully
considered
and
applied
by
city
staff,
and
it
is
intended
to
account
for
and
reflect
each
property
each
project's
value
to
the
benefit
properties.
A
The
2021
resurfacing
rates
are
66
cents
per
square
foot
for
non-residential
properties
and
22
cents
per
square
foot
for
residential.
The
proposed
total
assessment
for
the
weber
park
resurfacing
project
is
1
million,
13
359
and
18
cents.
Typically,
I
wouldn't
go
into
this
next
part,
but
some
of
our
objection.
Letters
indicated
that
this
might
be
helpful
to
some
people.
Individual
assessments
of
over
150
would
begin
collection
on
the
2022
estate
tax
statements
with
interest
charged
at
2.4
percent
and
assessments
of
150
or
less
would
be
collected
in
their
entirety.
A
On
the
2022
real
estate
taxes,
taxes
with
the
interest
charge
of
2.1
percent
information
has
been
provided
in
the
notices
as
to
how
persons
may
prepay
the
special
assessments
in
full
without
interest
if
they
so
choose.
The
city
council
also
has
past
resolutions
whereby
a
deferment
of
special
assessments
may
be
obtained
by
showing
hardship
or
for
any
homestead
property
owned
by
a
person
65
years
of
age
or
older
or
retired.
By
virtue
of
a
permanent
or
total
disability,
we
did
have
a
neighborhood
meeting
on
march.
A
If
I'm,
the
eighth
year
march,
10
2021,
there
were
some
770
invitations
sent
out
and
there
were
two
people
that
actually
attended
center
point.
Energy
was
also
at
the
meeting
to
talk
about
their
project.
If
needed,
there
is
some
center
point
work.
That's
going
to
be
going
ahead
of
the
resurfacing,
it's
not
a
big
project,
but
they
do
have
some
work
there
and
there
were
very,
very
few
actually
no
objections
held
at
the
meeting
there.
A
We
do
have
a
number
of
written
objections
that
have
come
in
typically,
the
kinds
of
things
you're
talking
about
are
timing.
You
know
with
coved
and
it's
causing
financial
hardship
and
things
like
that
people
say
they
can't
afford
it.
A
We've
got
several
properties
and
several
people
that
have
written
in
who
live
along
humboldt
avenue,
who's
actually
kind
of
you
know,
I'm
sure
they
feel
they're
off
the
project.
The
reason
they
have
assessments
is
because
the
south
end
of
their
town,
homes
or
the
the
influence
area
of
their
town
homes
where
48th
comes
in
and
hits
humboldt
that
influence
area
that's
created,
does
affect
the
town
home
association,
and
so
everybody
in
the
association
is,
is
assessed.
A
The
good
news
is
it's
they're,
on
average
about
a
hundred
dollars,
rather
than
fifteen
hundred
or
two
thousand
dollars
a
couple.
People
have
expressed
a
concern
that
the
alley
between
48th
and
49th
right
behind
those
townhouses
between
girard
and
humboldt,
is
in
worse
condition
the
streets
and
they
are
correct.
It's
in
very
tough
shape.
The
alley
was
built
back
in
1954.
A
It
has
already
been
resurfaced
once,
but
that
has
pretty
much
failed,
and
so
we
will
look
at
that
is
we're
putting
together
a
resurfacing
program,
alley
resurfacing
program
for
this
year.
Bad
news
is,
if
we
did
do
it
there
would
be
that
assessment
as
well.
It's
much
less
than
the
street
assessment,
but
we
typically
try
to
avoid
stacking
assessments
like
that.
A
So
we'll
we'll
be
careful
and
try
to
we'll
take
a
look
at
it
and
see
if
it
fits
or
not,
and
then
we
would
bring
that
forward
if,
indeed
we
wanted
to
do
that
work.
So
with
all
that
today
we
recommend
passage
of
resolution
ordering
the
work
to
proceed
and
adopting
special
assessments
and
the
amount
in
numerated
earlier
for
the
weber
park.
A
Street
resurfacing
project
and
passage
of
resolution
requested
the
requesting
that
the
board
of
estimate
and
taxation
authorize
the
city's
issuance
and
sale
of
assessment
bonds
in
the
amount
that
we've
talked
about
earlier
for
this
project.
With
that.
That
concludes
my
presentation.
We've
got
folks
from
assessment
office
and
others
that
can
address
any
questions
that
I
can
answer
if
they
come
up
and
I
believe
we
have
a
couple
of
people
who
have
signed
up
to
testify.
B
B
Not
seeing
any,
I
will
open
the
public
hearing,
I
do
see
there
are
people
in
the
queue.
I
will
call
them
an
order,
starting
with
jerome
kahn.
Please
push
star
six
and
state
your
name
and
address
for
the
record.
B
B
B
See
none
I'll
ask
the
clerk
to.
Please
call
the
role
to
confirm.
F
E
F
C
H
I
I
So
we
established
the
original
program
in
the
spring
of
2020.
It
established
a
program
that
goes
through
the
end
of
march
of
this
year
with
an
optional
one-year
extension,
we
had
initial
fleet
size
of
2500
scooters
and
we
had
equity
requirements
that
placed
a
minimum
of
30
percent
in
acp
50
areas,
a
maximum
of
40
percent
downtown
in
in
surrounding
neighborhoods
and
then
possible
increases
in
the
months
of
may
through
august.
I
I
Also
in
this
program
was
a
per
trip
fee
that
was
charged
to
the
vendor
to
offset
both
our
oversight
and
enforcement
costs,
support
new
infrastructure,
which
I
will
talk
about,
and
then
it
also
had
reduced
fees
for
trips
that
started
or
ended
in
acp
50s.
I
A
program
also
included
education
and
outreach
efforts
and
low
income
and
essential
work
and
pricing
programs,
and
then
a
new
element
of
the
2020
program
was
increasing
compliance
through
a
lock
2
requirement
for
the
scooters
and
investment
in
parking
zones.
Next
slide.
I
So
obviously
2020
was
a
very
challenging
year.
Throughout
the
country
there
was
a
significant
reduction
in
scooter
trips
micro
mobility
trips.
In
every
city
we
saw
a
significant
reduction
due
to
many
different
things.
Obviously
coveted
had
a
huge
impact
on
that.
We
also
because
of
that
had
delays
in
deployment.
I
Ridership
was
down
approximately
86
percent
between
2019
and
2020.
After
we
had
seen
a
361
increase
percent
between
2018
and
2019,
comparing
2018
to
2020,
we
had
a
36
reduction
from
2018
in
terms
of
ridership
a
lot
of
things.
Obviously,
that
came
into
play
with
this.
We
also
have
more
information
in
the
user
surveys
that
will
explain
it
and
I'll
show
a
little
bit
of
the
trends
too.
That
explains
a
little
bit
more.
Why
we
saw
this.
This
drop
in
ridership
next
slide.
I
I
I
I
I
Recreational
trips
after
work,
where
people
were
just
looking
to
get
out
of
the
house,
and
so
it
shows
you
that
the
bulk
of
the
ridership
that
we
lost
in
2020
was
those
commuters
during
the
day
trips
running
errands
and
things
that
were
frankly
not
happening
anymore,
and
we
got
a
little
bit
of
feedback
in
our
user
survey.
That
I'll
talk
about
later,
as
well.
Next
slide
wanted
to
talk
about
some
of
the
things
that
have
changed
some
successes
that
we
saw,
even
though
it
was
a
difficult
year
for
us.
I
I
So
in
2020
we
added
the
lock
2
requirement
as
you'll
see
in
the
later
information
around
complaints.
We
did
see
a
significant
reduction
in
issues
because
of
the
lock
2
requirement,
and
we
really
are
emphasizing
the
good
behavior
elements
of
this.
So
we
had
working
with
our
artist,
sarah
nelson,
to
create
informational
artwork
that
shows
people.
This
is
the
proper
way
to
park
your
scooter.
This
is
a
proper
way
to
ride
your
scooter
and
using
our
engagement
events
around
mobility
hubs.
I
I
Another
really
crucial
piece
to
success
of
walk
two
is
making
sure
that
there
was
enough
infrastructure
for
folks
to
be
able
to
lock
their
scooters
correctly
in
the
correct
area
of
the
right-of-way.
So
our
parking
team
installed
1500
meter
hitches
onto
the
parking
meter
as
an
example
on
the
right
side
there
that
really
incentivizes
to
keep
the
scooters
out
of
the
clear
zone
on
the
sidewalk
to
make
sure
that
people
are
incentivized
to
do
good,
have
good
behavior.
I
We
also
were
able
to
work
with
the
university
of
minnesota
to
borrow
bike
racks
and
install
those
at
our
mobility
hub.
So
on
the
bottom
left
there
we
had
additional
places
that
we
put
within
our
scooter
crowds.
We
had
previously
to
encourage
people
to
have
positive
behavior
and
there
were
additional
block
two
docking
stations
as
well,
provided
by
some
of
the
companies.
I
So
and
then
the
middle
map
is
just
a
mapping
that
we've
done
of
understanding
what
the
status
of
bike
parking
in
the
city
is,
and
one
thing
that
we
want
to
continue
to
invest
in
to
make
this
successful
next
slide,
diving
a
little
bit
further
into
the
acp50
question,
and
I
want
to
emphasize
that
this
information
that
you're
seeing
is
trip
data.
So
this
is
trips
that
were
actually
taken
that
either
started
or
ended
in
acp
50
areas.
I
I
So
it
is
really
connecting
people
to
different
necessary
resources
and
then
on
the
right
side
is
showing
that
kind
of
similar
to
before
the
percentage
of
overall
rides.
That
happened
in
the
various
acp
zones
that
we
have
so
we
have
northeast
minneapolis,
north
minneapolis
and
south
minneapolis,
combined
between
the
operators.
I
I
I
wanted
to
also
share
a
little
bit
of
how
this
is
working
with
our
mobilityhub
pilot.
On
the
left
side,
you
have
a
map
of
a
mobility
hub
start
so
say
this
is
an
example
of
pen
and
lary.
If
a
scooter
trips
started
at
penalari,
these
are
all
the
places
that
they
ended
up
on
the
the
right
side
there,
where
the
trips
ended
so
looking
at
the
reach
of
where
you
can
start
in
an
acp-50
and
end
up,
and
also
at
a
mobility
hub,
how
having
a
mobility
hub
there
impacted
ridership.
I
So
if
you
look
on
the
right
hand,
side
there,
these
are
all
the
locations
that
we
had
mobility
hubs
in
our
pilot
in
2020
and
the
before
column
is
the
ridership
before
we
installed
the
mobility
hub
and
the
during
is
when
we
had
an
active
mobility
hub.
So
as
you
can
see
that
pretty
much
installing
a
mobility
hub
did
increase
ridership
and
in
particular
the
areas
where
we
had
ambassador
programs
for
mobility
hubs,
so
penalari
cedar
riverside.
I
You
can
see
that
it's
even
darker
and
that
had
even
greater
impact.
So
it's
it's
proving
what
we
assumed
was
going
to
be
the
case
that
the
more
engagement
we
do,
the
more
programming
we
do,
the
more
investment
and
infrastructure
that
we
do
at
these
locations.
It
does
increase
ridership
and
involvement
within
the
community.
I
So
this
is
a
similar
graphic
that
we've
shown
before
I
wanted
everyone
to
be
able
to
see
that
with
our
scooter
program
and
the
distribution.
This
is
how
much
of
our
city
is
covered,
so
people
in
their
individual
trips.
This
is
actually
route
data
so
where
they
went
throughout
the
city
we
covered
almost
93
of
the
streets
and
people
hit
almost
95
of
trails,
so
we're
seeing
a
really
good
access
around
the
city
and
it
continues
to
show
that
there
is
demand
throughout
the
city
for
the
scooter
program.
I
I
I
mentioned
that
I
was
going
to
touch
a
little
bit
on
survey
data,
keeping
in
mind
that
we
had
significantly
reduced
feedback
from
the
public
in
our
user
survey
in
2020
versus
2021,
which
is
not
surprising,
given
the
drop
in
ridership
between
the
two
years,
but
just
a
couple
things
that
stood
out
that
were
changes
in
2020.
I
So
typically
our
scooter
ridership
is
you
know.
People
that
are
coming
to
town
are
also
using
the
scooters
because
of
covid
77
of
the
respondents
say
that
they
live
in
a
minneapolis.
The
city
of
minneapolis,
zip
code
23,
were
from
other
areas
of
the
region,
but
essentially
we
lost
any
national
ridership,
because
no
one
was
coming
to
the
city.
No
one
was
traveling.
I
We
also
asked
a
couple
of
pointed
questions
about
you
know
using
a
scooter.
How
was
it
replacing
trips
and
an
average
of
51
percent
of
scooter
trips
were
replacing
a
personal
car
overlapped
or
taxi
trip,
which
we
ask
specific
co-related
questions
that
also
kind
of
get
to
what
that
means
in
the
background
behind
it,
and
we
did
see
an
increase
in
the
number
of
people
that
were
saying
that
they
used
scooters
to
connect
to
transit.
I
So
this
is
really
helpful
to
us
in
our
conversations
with
metro
transit
and
making
sure
that
scooter
trips
are
supporting
our
backbone
transit
system
next
slide.
I
So
this
is
what
I
mentioned
that
the
covid
specific
questions
we
asked
individuals
about
their
work
status
if
they
were
still
commuting
to
work
and
52
percent
of
residents
says
that
they
said
that
they
were
no
longer
competing
to
work.
So
we
lost
a
significant
number
of
trips
with
that.
40
of
people
said
that
kovid
had
no
impact
on
their
scooter
use,
but
30
percent
said
that
they
were
using
them
less
often,
and
we
were
also
seeing
that
they
were
replacing
trips
because
they
were
concerned
with
the
the
safety.
I
So
the
next
slide,
when
we
ask
people,
if
you're
using
scooters
to
avoid
certain
modes,
28
said
they
were
using
them
to
to
avoid
public
transit.
28
said
they
were
avoiding
uber
and
lyft
and
21
said
that
if
a
student
scooter
hadn't
been
there,
they
just
wouldn't
have
made
the
trip
at
all.
So
clearly,
the
pandemic
was
impacting
a
lot
of
people's
user
behavior
in
2020..
I
In
reference
to
complaints
and
compliance
in
2020,
we
had
52
total
complaints
that
came
through
311
regarding
scooters.
33
of
them
were
regards
to
parking
and
right-of-way
complaints.
You
can
see
the
comparison
between
the
two
years.
Obviously,
a
reduced
ridership
corresponds
with
the
reduction
in
complaints,
but
we
also
saw
the
seriousness
of
complaints
dropped
dramatically
because
of
the
lock
2
requirement,
and
we
saw
a
reduction
in
the
reports
of
crashes
or
falls
that
were
going
through
9-1-1
as
well
made
essentially
a
95
reduction
in
rider
complaints,
92
reduction
and
right-of-way
obstruction
complaints.
I
I
Slide
the
last
thing
I
wanted
to
touch
on
is
how
this
is
relating
to
our
transportation
action
plan
goals
and
our
overall
goals
for
our
mobility
program,
that
we
want
to
continue
to
use
scooters
to
offset
single
occupancy
trips,
reducing
vehicle
miles
traveled,
so
that
we
have
positive
climate
impacts.
I
I
just
want
to
thank
the
rest
of
the
team
that
helped
put
this
together
and
have
been
really
active
in
working
on
this
program.
Of
course,
jacob
brown,
who
is
leading
operations
for
studers
glenn
hazler,
has
leroux
from
public
works,
who's,
helping
on
a
lot
of
the
data
visualization
and
analytics,
and
as
well
as
our
it
data
analytics
team
that
does
all
of
our
data.
Visualizations
data
science
work
to
make
sure
that
this
information
is
protecting
user
privacy
and
aggregation,
so
pam
health
and
error
killson.
Thank
you
for
that
and
I
stand
for
questions.
B
I
see
comforter
palmisano.
J
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
I
wanna
start
by
saying
that
you
know
the
lock
two
requirement
has
been
just
fantastic
from
my
own
sense
of
how
things
have
been
going,
both
in
decrease
of
complaints
and
just
it
certainly
alleviated
a
lot
of
concerns
about
scooters
in
many
parts
of
the
city,
particularly
downtown,
and
also
further
out
in
places
like
around
the
chain
of
lakes.
Over
by
me,
I
have
a
question
and
it
goes
back
to,
and
maybe
I
just
don't
fully
understand
the
distribution
versus
deployment
pieces
that
you
were
talking
about
during
your
presentation.
J
But
can
you
help
me
understand
last
year,
did
the
vendors
meet
the
distribution
requirements
that
they
were
given,
which
I
think
was
30
of
their
vehicles
in
areas
of
concentrated
poverty,
and
if
not,
what
were
some
of
the
considerations
around
that.
I
I
I
In
acps
we
had
a
distribution
requirement
of
15
in
south
minneapolis
10
in
north
minneapolis
5
in
northeast
minneapolis,
and
then
we
asked
that
no
more
than
40
percent
are
distributed
to
downtown
in
the
surrounding
area,
so
one
was
compliant
and
one
was
not
and
we're
taking
that
into
consideration,
as
we
continue
to
work
with
them
to
see
if
they
can
meet
those
requirements
and
improve,
and
what
we
can
do
to
make
them
successful.
In
that.
J
Thank
you
and
a
follow-up,
if
I
may,
if
they
in
conversation
with
them,
have
they
just
kind
of
helped
to
explain
that
or
what
the
rationale
was
around
that,
and
I
wonder
if
it
has
to
do
and
it
kind
of
goes
into
the
second
question
I
was
going
to
ask
if
I
may,
which
is
about
the
number
of
vehicles
deployed,
because
it
was
a
lot
less.
I
think,
than
what
we
originally
had
scoped
out
the
program
to
be.
I
Yeah
through
chair
right,
thank
you,
council,
member
promisana,
the
the
conversations
that
we're
having.
They
are
aware
that
they
did
not
meet
the
requirements.
I
I
We
don't
necessarily
agree
with
that,
because
we're
seeing
in
our
data
that
when
scooters
are
placed
in
those
areas,
they
are
being
used
which
the
data
shows
and
has
shown
us
that,
since
our
2018
pilot,
so
we're
continuing
to
have
that
conversation
to
see.
If
we
can
improve
on
that
and
make
sure
I'm
answering
your
full
question.
J
J
I
think
that
the
number
of
scooters
that
were
actually
deployed
in
2020
was
quite
a
bit
less
than
what
it
was
supposed
to
and
do
you
feel
or
is
there
anything
measurable
or
what
impact
do
you
think
that
that
had
on
ridership.
I
Yeah,
so
the
the
license
agreement
allows
us
to
have
a
cap
of
2500..
I
The
the
challenge
with
2020
is
that
the
ridership
wasn't
there
and
we
had
significant
delays
in
launch
and
not
launching
until
july
and
ridership
didn't
really
increase
until
august
and
september,
based
on
the
data
we
weren't
seeing
the
ridership
based
on
previous
years,
and
it
it
corresponds
with
what
was
happening
in
the
community
in
terms
of
coveted
safety
concerns
of
people
not
being
comfortable.
I
If
you
you
know
being
outside
or
touching
the
vehicles,
there
are
a
lot
of
other
considerations
that
came
into
user
behavior
with
that
and
people
not
taking
as
many
trips.
The
the
goal
is
that
we
would
like
to
be
able
to
meet
that
that
2500
cap
and
will
take
into
consideration
anything
we
need
to
do
to
have
a
better
distribution
in
2021
for
sure.
F
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
and
I
appreciate
the
presentation.
It's
really
helpful
information
and
love
learning
about
how
the
behavior
changes
well
with
the
pandemic.
I
did
have
a
couple
of
questions
related
to
this,
and
actually
council
member
palmisano
got
to
one
of
mine
as
well
just
thinking
around
the
cap
and
trying
to
get
closer
to
hitting
that
goal,
which
I
think
is
a
great
thing.
F
You
know
my
questions
are:
is
somebody
whose
ward
is
almost
entirely
below
35th
street?
I'm
curious
about
one
vendor
that
did
not
cover
below
35th
street
and
how
that
decision
came
to
be
in
the
rationale
for
that,
while
the
other
vendor
did
cover
our
our
community.
I
Thank
you
through
chair
wright,
councilmember
johnson.
As
a
very
good
question.
When
the
original
proposal,
the
rfp
process
happened
and
the
companies
proposed
their
coverage
areas,
bird
had
always
specified
that
they
were
gonna,
have
a
smaller
coverage
area
and
the
way
that
the
scoring
worked
out.
They
were
in
the
top
two
and
it
you
know
they
met
the
basic
requirements
in
their
proposal
for
operating
within
the
city.
F
Okay,
that's
helpful
and
I
think
about
that,
like
the
cable
franchise
agreement
too,
with
the
city
of
just
how
important
it
is
to
make
sure
that
every
resident
has
service
and
that
vendors
aren't
cherry-picking
from
a
market
standpoint,
what
residents
they
think
are
in
their
personal
financial
interests
versus
and
frankly,
at
the
exclusion
of
other
residents
right,
and
so
when
we
have
a
service,
that's
important
as
that
is
as
important
as
transit.
It
is
really
important
to
make
sure
that
all
residents
have
access.
F
I
guess
my
other
question
would
be
around.
What
are
we
seeing
in
st
paul?
How
did
it
look
over
there?
I
mean
I'm
sure,
we're
in
conversation
with
them,
but
it
you
know
we're
in
a
little
bit
of
a
unique
situation
having
another
large
city
right
next
door,
and
certainly
they
have
their
scooter
rollout.
So
are
they
seeing
similar
trends
in
usage?
Are
they
having
around
the
same
number
per
capita
of
scooters
deployed?
I
I
They,
I
will
say,
do
not
have
the
same
data
analytics
capabilities
that
we
have
than
is
one
thing
we've
been
working
with
them
on
to
understand
what
the
impacts
were.
They
did
have
a
different
operator
than
we
had
in
2020
and
partially.
The
conversation
we
want
to
have
is:
what
does
that
mean
in
terms
of
the
region
of
a
program
in
2022,
when
we
continue
to
talk
to
them
about
how
we
can
work
together?
Better,
my
guess,
and
just
based
on
kind
of
national
data.
That's
coming
out.
F
Absolutely
well,
that's
helpful,
I'm
glad
you're
having
that
conversation,
and
then
you
know
just
thinking
about
this
year.
It
was
60
degrees.
On
sunday
it's
going
to
be
60
degrees
on
saturday.
I
think
spring
isn't
just
coming
it's
pretty
much
here.
So
how
are
we
looking
at?
F
You
know
this
spring
this
summer
and
using
the
tools
that
we
do
have
available
now
to
do
things
like
increase
capacity
of
scooters,
because
I
think
it's
especially
too
as
we're
seeing
the
vaccine
roll
out
continue
here.
I
think
there's
pent
up
interest
in
a
lot
of
people
getting
out
and
about
across
the
city,
and
so
I
could
see
usage
being
really
high
and
it
would
be
really
important
to
get
more
deployed
as
we're
warming
up
here.
I
Through
chair
right,
councilmember
john-
and
that's
a
really
I'm
glad
you're
mentioning
this.
So
we
are.
We
still
have
the
active
agreement
signed
with
the
two
companies
that
goes
through
march.
30Th.
I
I
Our
fee
process
to
see
what
they
have
they
can
potentially
offer
within
the
2021
program,
and
we
also
received
I'm
still
been
receiving
more
feedback
from
them,
as
well
as
comments
from
the
public
that
have
come
through
even
just
today.
I
So
still
getting
really
good
information
to
understand
what
our
choices
are
for
the
2021
program
feeling
confident
that
we
have
really
good
options
in
front
of
us
and
really
good
partners
that
are
ready
to
work
with
the
city
and
we'll
do
everything
that
we
can
in
this
2021
season
to
hopefully
get
ridership
back
and
get
people
the
ability
to
get
outside
and
enjoy
the
weather.
More.
F
Excellent,
well,
that's
great
to
hear
and
I'm
glad
you're
in
conversation
in
looking
at
all
of
those
different
options,
including
beyond
the
two
vendors
that
we
have.
I
know
this
whole
industry
is
evolving
very
quickly
as
it's
so
technology-based
as
well,
and
it's
just
been
fascinating
to
see
how
it's
changed
and
will
continue
to
change
as
well
and
just
appreciate
the
work
and
the
focus
on
how
we
can
improve
outcomes
here.
G
Thank
you,
chair
right
and
thanks
for
this
presentation,
I
mostly
just
wanted
to
acknowledge
the
work
of
city
staff
and
the
scooter
companies
around
gold
medal
park.
It
was
you
know,
kind
of
mentioned
briefly,
but
there
was
actually
a
very
cool
solution
to
a
problem
that
was
emerging
with
recreational
use
of
scooters.
That
was
disruptive
where
they
were
able
to
just
throttle
the
speed
on
a
certain
stretch
of
street
that
was
causing
the
disruption
and
that
discouraged
the
behavior.
It
was
a
creative
solution
that
helped
us
avoid.
G
You
know,
limiting
the
service
in
more
severe
ways
and
just
really
appreciated
that
flexibility
and
want
to
signal
that.
I
hope
we
see
more
of
that
as
as
we
as
we
all
adapt
to
scooter
use
city-wide.
I
think
that
it's
getting
a
lot
better
and
and
part
of
that
is
that
adaptability
and
I'll
say
that
that's
an
argument
in
in
my
mind,
in
support
of
keeping
a
smaller
number
of
vendors.
I
know
that
there's
been
some
contact
and
some
conversation
around.
G
You
know
how
many
vendors
should
be
in
the
market,
but
I
think
the
agility
that's
offered
as
we're
figuring
this
out
by
having
fewer
people
to
negotiate
those
things
with
maybe
a
benefit.
So
I
just
I
just
wanted
to
offer
at
least
a
little
bit
of
counterpoint
perspective.
G
You
know,
as
as
we
continue
to
engage
the
conversation
about
you
know,
authorizing
sick
contracts
versus
you
know
the
two
that
we
selected.
You
know,
let's
continue
pushing
on
the
equity
goals.
Let's
continue
making
sure
we're
hitting
our
metrics
and,
let's
you
know,
keep
doing
the
creative
problem.
Solving
that
lets
us
really
that
lets
everybody
enjoy
the
availability
of
the
service.
I
Thank
you
for
the
chair,
just
acknowledge.
I
appreciate
the
feedback.
I
think
that's
the
one
good
thing
about
the
market.
Improving
and
evolving
is
that
there
are
new
technologies
that
help
us
to.
You
know
address
issues
whether
it's
throttling
speed
or
technology
that
they're
developing
around
sidewalk
writing.
You
know.
D
Used
up
most
of
the
good
questions
so
far,
and
also
the
great
compliments,
but
so
I
just
echo
those
really
appreciate
the
report.
I
really
appreciate
the
way
we've
been
really
careful
with
our
scooter
program.
D
I
remember
the
nightmares
we
were
warned
about
in
the
early
days
and
we
looked
at
how
other
cities
had
handled
things,
and
I
think
we
maybe
are
developing
a
model
that
others
could
use
in
terms
of
this
design
build
out
and
planning
as
we
go
and
evaluating
constantly
my
for
my
two
cents
worth,
I
think
we're
also
in
a
good
place,
because
we
have
a
market
that
apparently
the
scooter
companies
are
really
interested
in.
D
So
I
have
been
contacted
outside
of
regular
committee
meetings
in
that
by
some
scooter
operators
or
representatives
of
operators
and
that's
interesting,
so
they're
following
this
they're
looking
at
it.
I
think,
though,
the
company
that
operated
here
for
a
while
but
didn't
get
to
get
back
in
in
2020,
really
wants
to
get
back
in
people
want
to
keep
the
contract
and
keep
performing.
Here.
D
I
appreciate
the
staff
report.
My
understanding
is-
and
the
council
has
basically
given
the
public,
works
director
or
department
discretion
about
who
to
give
these
contracts
to
in
awards,
and
I
think
the
staff
report
indicated
you'd
be
willing
to
go
up
to
six
different
companies
at
the
most
and
I
feel
like
opening
it
up
to
a
little
more
competition
might
make
sense.
We're,
of
course,
all
really
really
hopeful
that
there's
going
to
be
a
lot
of
demand.
D
I
don't
know
about
the
cap
or
not
opening
the
cap
up
or
those
things,
but
maybe
that's
something
to
explore
too.
It's
hard,
of
course,
with
such
little
usage
last
year
to
act
like
the
fact
that
we
didn't
have
complaints
and
problems,
which
means
we've
solved
everything.
But
it's
easy
to
think
this.
This
lock
two
policy
and
all
of
that
maybe
really
did
help
address
some
of
those
concerns.
D
But
I
hope
that
we'll
look
into
this
with
our
eyes
open
and
think
carefully
about
it
and
I
think
considering
expanding
it
to
more
companies,
especially
so
we
can
at
least
start
operating
at
the
cap
or
would
be
something
I'd
be
supportive
of
just
for
my
two
cents
worth
and
I'm
glad
you
kept
that
option
open
thanks.
D
I
Thank
you
for
your
feedback.
We
do
have
the
ability
to
give
to
six
up
to
six
license
agreements
based
on
the
2020
program,
so
that
option
does
remain
there.
B
Thank
you,
councilmember
palmisano,.
J
Thank
you.
I
just
want
to
council
member
gordon
kind
of
is
right
in
the
same
place
that
I'm
at.
I
just
want
to
reiterate
that
my
number
one
concern
here
is
how
the
deployment
worked
to
the
areas
of
concentrated
poverty
in
our
city,
and
I
think
that
the
biggest
question
of
all
here
kind
of
the
overriding
question,
because
we're
not
here
to
try
to
manage
how
many
vendors
or
that
kind
of
thing
or
direct
you
accordingly,
but
it
would
just
be
that.
J
Why
would
the
city
not
explore
the
best
deal
for
the
city
and
everybody
in
it?
It
seems
that,
with
the
conversation
today,
operators
are
in
competition
with
one
another.
This
industry
is
moving
fast.
Why
would
we
not
encourage
that
in
a
way
that
would
be
best
for
our
city?
So
that's
just
kind
of
one
how
I
wanted
to
sum
it
up.
I
really
agree
with
council
member
gordon
here.
J
B
I
don't
know
if
there's
a
comment
in
response
by
staff
or
not,
but
if
not,
I
think
it's
a
good
conversation
has
been
had
by
the
comments
and
questions
of
the
committee
members.
I
do
appreciate
this
report.
It's
good
that
we're
really
taking
a
data-driven
approach
to
this.
This
is
a
good
check-in.
I'm
also
happy
to
hear
the
commitment
to
have
a
good
feedback
loop
through
the
season.
That'll
be
important
that
will
utilize
our
flexibility
to
make
adjustments
and
not
sort
of
let
problems
or
inadequacies
in
a
roll
rollout
linger.
B
I
think
that's
very
important
and
I
think
obviously,
staff
is
managing.
You
know
different
aspects
of
this.
This
is
still
in
the
pilot
phase,
where
we're
learning
we're
doing
and
learning,
and
I
think
that's
the
spirit
in
which
we
would
continue.
Obviously,
last
year
not
only
was
disruptive
in
terms
of
rollout
and
use,
but
it
also,
I
think,
it's
hard
to
use
it
as
any
baseline
data
in
in
terms
of
comparing
to
other
years,
where
there's
no
normal
deployment
and
more
normal
usage.
B
So
hopefully
we
can
get
back
to
more
solid
baseline
comparisons
to
better
forge
our,
hopefully,
our
complete
plan
moving
forward.
Once
we
have
all
those
data
sets
from
the
different
years.
B
I
will
you
heard
it
from
the
different
committee
members
and
and
it's
very
clear
that
when
we
have
objectives
in
terms
of
access
to
to
a
public
amenity
that
that
we
don't
want
to
hedge
against
that
access,
you
know
we're
here
for
the
citizens,
we're
not
here
to
make
a
vendor
better
we're
here
to
make
the
city
better,
and
so
I
think
they
have
to
step
up.
B
You
know,
obviously,
we
can
coach
and
teach
to
the
test,
but
I
think
this
is
the
year
where
we
want
the
test
to
be
met,
the
goals
to
be
met.
I
think
that's
just
what
what
I'm
hearing
from
my
colleagues
and
obviously
I
think
company
fletcher
brings
up
a
good
point
in
terms
of
that
that
day-to-day
week-to-week
management
with
vendors-
that's
something
that
staff
has
to
take
in
consideration.
That's
kind
of
more
of
an
inward
thing
staff,
our
policymakers
and
constituents
are
more
of
the
outward
viewpoint.
B
But
clearly
we
will.
You
know,
respect
the
insights
you
have
in
terms
of
management
and
and
flexibility
and
and
taking
care
of
those
things
that
that
also
inform
our
objectives
in
terms
of
the
program's
success.
So
god
speak
to
you
as
you
move
forward
with
those
tensions
and
dynamics,
but
I
think
we
will
be
keen
on
those
outcomes
and
we
will
never
relinquish
our
goals
around
the
equity
access.
That's
just
what
I've
heard
today
and
I
think
that's
pretty
loud
and
clear
anything
else
from
committee
members
for
staff
in
regards
to
this
report.
B
If
not,
I
would
move
to
receive
and
file
and
if
there's
no
objection,
I
would
instruct
the
clerk
to
do
that.
I'm
not
seeing
any
objection
from
committee
so
that
is
received
and
filed.
Thank
you
again
to
staff
for
this
great
report.
