This

the
appointment
of
the
director

This

considering
the
appointment
of
andrea
brennan
to
be
appointed
to
that
position
for
an
unexpired
term
ending
january
2nd
2022,
I'm
going
to
move
to
open
the
public
hearing.
I
know
there
are
a
number
of
speakers.
B
Their
names
are
written
in
the
chat
and
I
will
call
on
them
I'll
tell
you
what
the
order
is
and
then
they
can
kind
of
pay
attention.
It
would
be
kate
speed,
followed
by
dan
collison
abde
warsamay,
elizabeth
glidden,
david
mcgee,
noel
noor
and
christopher
romano,
and
so
I
would
invite
kate
to
press
star
six
to
unmute
and
feel
free
to
speak
to
this
appointment
right
now.
G
G
We
have
worked
with
andrea
on
numerous
projects
and
initiatives
aimed
at
preserving
and
expanding
the
supply
of
affordable
housing
in
the
city
of
minneapolis,
and
one
notable
initiative
I
just
wanted
to
bring
up
to
folks
is
a
partnership
between
the
city,
lisk
and
the
land
bank
twin
cities,
to
help
preserve
small
and
medium
multi-family
rental
properties,
where
tenants
are
at
risk
of
displacement.
If
the
properties
are
sold
to
market
rate
investors,
this
is
a
set
of
housing
stock.
As
many
of
you
know,
that
has
become
increasingly
vulnerable
over
the
last.
G
After
you
know,
it
took
two
years
of
brainstorming
and
structuring
and
dozens
of
meetings
with
partners
and
stakeholders,
and
we
launched
the
program
in
2020
and
helped
dependents
of
the
skies
limit.
Cooperative
acquire
five
buildings
with
69
units
in
south
minneapolis
city
funding
was
an
integral
part
of
the
financing
and
it
helped
leverage
nearly
five
million
dollars
from
lisk.
This
would
not
have
happened
without
andrea's
leadership
and
the
city's
commitment
to
the
tenants.
H
I
I
Sorry
about
the
delay
of
pushing
buttons,
madam
chair
goodman
and
council
members,
I'm
dan
collison
director
of
downtown
partnerships
for
the
minneapolis
stunton
council,
executive,
director
of
east
home
business,
partnership
and
neutral
partners,
and
a
pastor
first
covenant
church
in
minneapolis,
I'm
here
to
speak
in
support
of
this
appointment
and
of
andrea
brennan
to
the
position
of
director
of
cpad.
I
I've
known
her
for
the
last
six
years
in
her
role
as
director
of
housing
policy
and
development
and
across
dozens
of
meetings,
presentations,
affordable
housing
strategy
sessions
with
her
and
her
staff,
which
has
been
a
passion,
especially
in
the
downtown
sector.
I've
experienced
andrea
to
possess
this
really
unique.
I'm
almost
striking
balance
of
like
program
and
policy,
knowledge
and
acumen,
but
also
strategic
leadership,
alongside
city
staff
and
with
elected
officials
simultaneously
picking
up
the
phones
showing
up
in
the
community
that
balance
and
set
of
balance
is
just
amazing.
I've
also
seen
andrea
model.
I
I
J
Yeah,
thank
you
very
much,
chair
goodman
and
to
the
council
members
for
giving
me
this
opportunity
today
to
speak
with
you
good
afternoon.
I
am
here
to
speak
in
support
of
andrea
brennan.
My
name
is
abdi
warfami,
I'm
the
executive
director
and
ceo
of
minneapolis
public
housing
authority,
but
I
speak
to
you
today
in
my
personal
capacity
as
somebody
who
loves
the
city
of
minneapolis
and
who
is
a
resident
of
the
city
of
minneapolis,
I
have
known
andrea
brennan
for
many
years.
J
J
She
was
always
open
to
new
ideas
and
she
always
had
a
clear
picture
of
where
she
wanted
to
go
and
I
believe
andrea
will
serve
the
city
of
minneapolis
and
as
a
resident
of
the
city,
we
need
people
of
her
capacity
to
be
in
leadership
roles.
So
again,
I'm
here
in
support
of
andrea
brennan
becoming
the
director
of
cped,
and
I
would
like
to
ask
the
council
members
all
our
council
members
of
city
of
minneapolis
to
please
approve
this
nomination.
B
K
Here
I
am
good
good
afternoon
everyone
and
thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
committee.
My
name
is
elizabeth
glidden,
and
I
am
here
to
speak
in
favor
of
the
nomination
of
andrea
brennan
to
the
position
of
director
of
community
planning
economic
development.
K
I
have
to
say
when
I
heard
that
she
had
been
after
serving
in
this
interim
role
for
some
time
formally
nominated,
I
just
gave
a
little
squeal,
maybe
because
I
was
so
enthusiastic
about
this
nomination
and
the
opportunity
to
have
her
serve
in
this
role
on
a
permanent
basis.
K
I
am
today
the
deputy
executive
director
of
the
minnesota
housing
partnership
and
the
director
of
policy
for
that
organization,
and
I
speak
to
you,
based
on
some
of
my
personal
working
relationship
with
andrea,
as
well
as
sharing
some
of
the
professional
engagement
that
I
have
had
with
her
I'm
a
formal
council
member
for
the
city
of
minneapolis,
and
in
that
role
like
council
member
warsami,
I
had
a
opportunity
to
work
very
closely
with
andrea
brennan.
K
I
found
her
to
be
one
of
the
smartest
most
approachable
people
in
the
city
who
just
really
brought
a
creative
lens
to
her
work.
She
is
someone
who
brings
a
vision
of
her
own
and
a
lot
of
backbone,
but
also
I
can
appreciate
that
she
is
willing
to
listen
and
willing
to
change
her
views,
and
I
have
witnessed
that
myself.
K
I
also
appreciate,
as
someone
who's
been
in
this
role
of
a
policymaker,
that
she's
someone
who
is
able
to
offer
an
opinion.
K
I'm
also
here
to
tell
you
yes,
there's
life
after
serving
on
the
council,
and
I
have
found
that
my
vision
continues
to
expand
and
I've
had
an
opportunity
to
engage
with
practitioners
across
the
region.
In
my
role
with
minnesota,
housing,
partnership
and
andrea
brennan
is
just
one
of
the
very
highly
regarded
housing
practitioners
in
the
entire
region.
If
not
the
state
of
minnesota,
she
is
known
for
a
wide
range
of
experience.
K
B
Thank
you
so
much
for
being
here,
councilmember
glidden,
we'll
move
on
to
mr
david
mcgee,
mr
mcgee.
Please
press

to

L
Good
good
afternoon,
everyone
and
thank
you
and
I'm
chair
and
council
members,
I'm
glad
for
this
opportunity
to
be
here
today.
I
am
the
executive
director
of
build
wealth
minnesota,
and
I
am
here
in
support
of
the
nomination
of
andrea
brennan
to
the
director
of
cped.
I
I
met
andrea
brennan
when
she
first
took
her
current
or
her
previous
role
as
the
director
of
housing,
and
she
has
been
extremely
diligent.
We
sit
on
boards
together
and
committees
together,
and
I've
watched
her
with
her
get
it
done
attitude.
L
L
There
was
a
program
that
we
were
involved
in
initially
was
90
percent
of
the
down
payment.
Assistance
was
being
used
up
in
two
months,
and
90
of
those
funds
were
going
to
families
that
weren't
as
needy
as
some
others.
Ninety
percent
was
going
to
white
families
and
since
her
role
of
bringing
in
education
and
some
other
layers,
now
75
percent
or
more
is
going
to
bypack
communities
and
to
members
in
the
community
that
really
need
it.
L
Lots
with
affordable
homes
that
are
new
and
fresh
and
a
number
of
people
of
color
are
actually
going
into
those
homes,
in
addition
to
expanding
the
capacity
of
the
minneapolis
homes,
down
payment
assistance
to
help
more
people
of
color
and
existing
residents
of
minneapolis
actually
be
able
to
take
advantage
of
houses
that
are
being
built.
So
I
wholeheartedly
support
the
nomination
as
to
the
director
position
here
at
cped,
and
I
look
forward
to
her
accepting
this
and
us
working
together
in
the
future.
Thank
you.
B
M
I
am
grateful
for
the
opportunity
to
share
this
with
you
and
to
be
part
of
this
process
and
to
speak
on
behalf
of
someone
who
has
been
an
incredible
and
instrumental
for
for
us
as
a
community
and
for
me
individually.
M
Like
me,
it
took
a
few
years
since
then
for
me
to
be
able
to
partner
with
the
city,
and
I've
worked
with
andrea
and
her
staff
to
do
my
first
project,
it's
green
homes,
north
project
and
working
through
the
process
in
the
city.
As
a
small
developer,
you
can
imagine
the
resources
it
takes
and
they
have
been
incredibly
instrumental,
but,
more
importantly,
andrea
has
been
there
to
champion
someone
like
me
who
needed
those
resources
and
also
the
ability
to
talk
to
someone
who
had
an
intention
to
help
the
community.
M
I
was
the
first
developer
of
color
in
terms
of
the
east
african
community
and
typically
when
you're
working
with
small
developers,
it
requires
an
incredible
amount
of
imagination.
How
do
we
finance
the
project?
How
do
we
make
sure
that
they
can
meet
all
the
requirements
from
a
paperwork
standpoint,
and
I
had
never
met
anything
but
an
open
arm
and
ability
to
be
able
to
help
from
working
with
the
team
from
elfric
all
the
way
to
matthew
to
all
the
way?
M
To
my
closer
nancy,
I
remember
how
how
supportive
the
council
members
were
also
in
seeing
my
project
be
approved.
M
I
remember
getting
the
project
and
the
city
council
actions
and
councilman
gordon
actually
and
council
member
goodman
called
me
on
the
and
said
how
good
it
was
to
see
a
woman
of
color
be
part
of
this
process
and
as
nervous
as
I
was,
I
was
really
grateful
to
be
able
to
be
recognized
and
to
see
the
commitment
from
the
city
as
well
as
the
city
staff,
cpad
and
andrea,
especially
because,
if
it
wasn't
for
her
and
for
her
team,
it
wouldn't
be
possible.
M
Cped
deals
with
the
future
community
planning
development.
Innovation
promotes
equitable
growth
and
resiliency
sustainable
communities
through
creation
of
innovation,
programs,
policies
and
planning.
I
can't
imagine
anyone
who
is
as
efficient
and
as
well
first
as
a
commit
as
as
committed
to
all
of
these
programs
as
andrea
and
someone
who
can
think
outside
of
the
boxes.
M
Sometimes
it's
easy
for
cpap
or
any
organization.
That's
part
of
of
a
large
city
like
minneapolis.
It's
easy
to
say.
We
want
to
check
the
box
and
rey
is
not
the
kind
of
person
who
says
we
want
to
check
the
box
and
red
tries
to
find
a
way
to
make
things
successful
and
a
perfect
example
has
been
steward
commons
and
without
the
city
staff
and
the
city
council's
support.
M
If
that
project
would
never
be
possible-
and
I
just
want
to
mention
that
it
takes
a
rep-
an
effort
to
be
able
to
partner
with
the
city
council.
So
andrea's
staff
came
up
with
the
plan
to
make
that
project
possible,
and
it
was
city
council
support
from
especially
you
know,
council,
member,
gordon
jenkins,
cunningham
schroeder,
johnson
panel
bender
and
war
summit
that
made
that
possible,
but
without
cpep's
imagination
and
innovation
and
andrea's
openness
to
be
able
to
be
innovative
about
that
program.
It
wouldn't
really
take
place.
M
I'd
love
to
see
someone
like
andrea
who's,
been
committed
to
bypass
organizations
and
by
bach
individuals
like
mine
to
have
an
open
door,
and
it's
the
one
thing
that
I
just
want
to
mention
is
that
open
door
doesn't
just
mean
that
I
want
to
just
meet.
You
open
door
means
that
disparities
exist,
because
there
are
people
who
do
not
let
people
of
color
into
the
door
and
to
participate
in
wealth
building
and
despair
reduction.
M
She's,
not
that
kind
of
person
she's
someone
who
has
that
open
door
and
also
has
the
integrity
and
commitment
to
make
things
happen
and
execute
on
them.
I
would
love
to
see
andrea,
be
appointed
to
this
role
and
I
would
love
to
see
the
council
support
her
and
get
her
to
be
part
of
this
leadership
and
to
lead
this
organization.

ward,
6
and
ward
9..
I've
also
been
a
long-standing
board,
member
of
the
latino
economic
development
center
and
currently
chair
the
ledc
board,
and
I'm
here,
like
the
other
speakers,
to
show
my
support
for
andrea
and
her
leadership
role.
N
I
feel
that
her
technical
skill
and
experience
has
been
well
articulated
by
the
other
callers,
perhaps
better
than
I
could
do,
but
I'd
like
to
just
share
a
couple
of
comments
related
to
her
her
leadership
and
her
strategic
leadership,
skill
and,
in
fact,
in
preparation
for
this
call,
I
asked
some
of
my
colleagues
across
other
organizations
who
really
have
their
boots
on
the
ground.
Doing
this
work
for
a
word
or
a
couple
of
words
that
that
represented
who
andrea
was
as
a
leader
and
then
a
person,
and
these
were
some
of
the
responses.
N
I
received
back
approachable,
strong,
authentic
partner,
not
a
bureaucrat
problem,
solver
and
accessible,
and
I
think
about
for
those
of
us
who
truly
are
community
organizations
who
are
wrestling
every
day
with
how
to
rebuild
parts
of
the
city.
In
our
case
large
areas
within
the
lake
street
corridor
and
the
result
related
commercial
nodes,
it
means
the
world
to
feel
that
we
have
trusted
and
strong
partners
inside
of
city
government,
and
we
have
many
of
those,
but
andreas
is
one
of
the
top,
and
so
I
show
significant
support
and
feels
significant
support
for
her
nomination.
N
B
O
Thank
you,
chair
goodman,
for
allowing
me
a
few
moments
to
speak
to
the
nomination
of
andrea
brennan
is
the
director
of
cped.
We
are
so
lucky
and
fortunate
to
have
andrea
brennan
at
our
city.
That
was
the
case
when
she
was
the
housing
director
and
continues
to
be
the
case
now
as
the
head
of
cped-
and
I
know
I've
already
spoken
about
the
the
merit
of
andrea
brennan
and
her
experience.
But
but
I
will
be
brief
here
and
I
want
to
thank
all
of
the
community
members.
O
Business
owners
developers,
affordable
housing
advocates
that
came
out
in
support
of
andrea
brennan's
candidacy
here
to
as
she
has
been
nominated,
and
I
hope
she
will
be
affirmed.
But
here's
what
I'll
say.
Anyone
who
has
spent
time
with
andrea
is
completely
blown
away
by
her
intelligence
and
her
ability.
O
She
has
this
mentality
that
allows
her
to
take
deep
dives
in
a
broad
array
of
subjects
she
understands
finance.
She
understands
housing,
she
understands
redevelopment
community
planning
economic
development
and
she
also
sees
the
whole
chess
board
in
figuring
out
how
to
actually
get
the
job
done.
I'll
also
note
that
it
makes
me
so
proud
to
be
able
to
put
forward
an
internal
candidate
that
has
once
again
risen
to
the
occasion
and,
if
you've
seen
the
work
that
she's
been
able
to
put
forward
over
this
very
last
year
of
great
difficulty.
O
It's
been
incredible,
I
mean
there's
been
no
shortage
of
work
in
2020
and
early
2021,
but
andrea
brennan
has
stepped
up
every
step
of
the
way,
and
so
I'm
so
very
much
looking
forward
to
the
continued
work
together,
whether
it's
in
cultural
districts
or
2040,
affordable,
housing,
stable
home,
stable
schools,
homelessness
or
economic
growth
in
general,
and
I
just
I
want
to
give
a
big
thank
you
to
andrea
for
her
commitment
to
the
city
and
and
her
willingness
to
serve
here
today.
O
B
Thank
you
to
mayor
frye
for
being
here
today,
I'm
going
to
then
go
ahead
and
close
the
public
hearing
and
ask
if
any
of
my
colleagues
would
like
to
speak,
just
go
ahead
and
add
your
name
in
the
meeting
chat,
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
move
approval
of
andrea's
nomination,
and
I
want
to
just
briefly
speak
to
this
everything
I
need
to
say
to
ms
brennan.
I've
said
to
her
face,
but
I
do
want
to
comment
overall
about
the
importance
of
this
appointment
today.
B
I
think
there's
only
been
one
other
woman
in
the
city's
history
in
this
position,
and
so
I
think
a
glass
ceiling
is
being
broken
because
we're
having
someone
who
has
an
internal
candidate
who
has
excelled
at
their
job
as
housing
director
who
is
committed
to
the
city
and
has
the
support
of
many
in
the
community
being
appointed
to
this
very
important
position.
I'm
really
proud
of
the
city
and
this
nomination
today
and
I'm
excited
about
what
will
come
as
andrea
being.
B
The
permanent
director
begins
to
more
assertively,
lead
this
department
and
its
incredible
team
throughout
the
whole
department,
its
management
structure
and
so
many
very
passionate
employees
who,
during
very
difficult
times,
have
been
able
to
rise
to
the
occasion
in
order
to
do
the
work
that
they
know
is
so
important
to
help
people
who
live
and
work
and
play
in
our
city.
So
I'm
just
really
thrilled
that
we
were
able
to
get
to
this
today
and
I'm
proud
of
you,
my
friend,
andrea.
P
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
wish
I
had
gotten
my
name
in
because
I
can't
quite
follow
up.
Your
speech
was
was
really
great,
and
but
I
want
to
echo
a
lot
of
these
sentiments.
I
think
andrea
brennan
is
deserving
of
this
position
and
and
I'm
happy
to
support
her.
You
know
I
I
can
say
that
you
know
in
my
first
three
years
on
the
council
actually
from
day
one
of
of
of
being
on
this
council.
P
I
know
that
staff
has
has
had
to
contend,
had
to
contend
with
folks
who
are
veterans
on
the
council,
like
like
council,
member
goodman
and
folks,
who
are
new,
like
myself
and
and
and
council
members
who,
who
have
experience,
can
sort
of
they
know
how
the
institution
works
and
they
can
and
and
and
they
they
can
work
it.
That
way.
P
For
myself
I
was
so
new
and
I
have
a
lot
of
great
ideas
and
and
and
and
and
I'm
trying
to
advocate
for
my
community,
and
I
think
it
would
have
been
really
easy
for
subject
matter.
Experts
in
the
city
to
sort
of
leave
me
to
flounder
and
figure
things
out
until
you
know,
until
until
I
was
headed,
headed
on
my
own
I'll
say
that
it
can
be
really
easy.
P
When
we're
talking
about
communities
who
have
been
historically
disinvested
from
to
say
you
know,
it's
we're
really,
sorry
that
that's
the
history
of
our
city,
but
there's
just
we
don't
quite
have
the
mechanisms
to
do
x,
y
or
z,
and
since
I've
been
on
a
council,
andrea
brennan
has
been
someone
who
has
been
willing
to
have
difficult
conversations
who
has
been
willing
to
get
creative
about
how
we
keep
folks
securely
housed
and
to
get
creative
about
how
we
get
folks,
who
are
unhoused
newly
housed
and
to
be
patient,
and
to
wrestle
with
really
difficult
questions
when
it
comes
to.
P
How
do
we
execute
not
just
hold
it
as
a
value,
but
how
do
we
execute
equity
and
inclusion
and
and
making
our
city
a
less
racist
place
and
a
place
where
everybody
can
thrive
and-
and
it's
been
a
real
pleasure
to
to
work
with
you
so
far
in
this
journey?
Again,
I'm
happy
to
support
you
in
this
role
and
I
look
forward
to
all
the
work
that
we're
going
to
continue
to
do
together.
So
thank
you.
F
Thank
you,
chair,
goodman,
I'll,
also
be
really
brief.
I
really
appreciate
everyone
that
turned
out
to
to
really
sing
the
praises
of
director
brennan.
I
just
kind
of
wanted
to
share
one
story
that,
even
before
this
I
worked
on
creating
more
affordable
housing
and
and
got
the
chance
to
work
with
andrea
as
well,
and
she
has
has
that
well-earned
reputation.
But
even
before
I
got
yeah
like
I
had
been
elected,
but
I
hadn't
got
in
the
seat.
She
made
time
to
to
meet
with
me.
F
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
I
was
gonna
hit
the
ground
running
and
I
it
means
a
lot
to
me
to
have
somebody
in
this
role
that,
if
you
care
about
creating
more
affordable
housing
and
keeping
the
city,
affordable,
she'll
she'll
make
time
to
meet
with
you
and-
and
I
think
that
really
just
sums
it
up.
So
I'm
really
excited
about
having
andrea,
take
over
this
position
and
really
excited
for
this
nomination.
I
C
I
E
F
B
Q
Thank
you,
madam
chair
and
members
of
the
committee.
I
wish
I
had
a
few
more
moments
to
just
breathe.
I
I
cannot
tell
you
how
honored
I
am
and
how
appreciative
I
am
of
all
of
the
words
that
I've
I've
heard
today.
Q
So
thank
you
from
the
bottom
of
my
heart,
for
your
words
of
appreciation
and
support.
It
means
a
lot.
Q
I
have
to
express,
since
I
have
an
opportunity
to
speak
right
now,
I
have
to
express
my
utmost
gratitude
for
the
flexibility,
innovation
and
responsiveness
of
cpad
team
that
the
c
team
has
shown
during
this
time.
The
cped
directors
eric
hanson,
steve,
poor
and
karuna
mahajan
joined
me
in
leading
this
department
during
this
challenging
time,
building
our
capacity
for
collaboration
across
divisions
and
helping
us
all
see
new
potential
in
advancing
city
goals
and
priorities.
Q
I'd
also
like
to
give
a
big
shout
out
to
the
housing
team,
angie
skildom,
alfred
port
and
katie
topinka,
who
stepped
up
to
ensure
the
critical
work
and
housing
and
homelessness
response
didn't
just
continue
but
ramped
up
as
I
was
stretched
in
my
dual
roles.
Finally,
I'd
like
to
call
out
the
incredible
talent
and
dedication
of
cped
team
members,
many
of
whom
stepped
into
new
roles,
took
on
additional
work,
listened
to
community
members
and
responded
to
provide
critical
relief
services
to
minneapolis
residents,
businesses
and
community.
Q
Q
B
Thank
you,
ms
brennan,
and
congratulations
to
you.
I
do
also
want
to
note
that
councilmember
jenkins
has
been
on
the
call
for
the
public
hearing.
Thank
you,
councilmember
jenkins,
for
taking
the
time
to
be
here
today.
We
will
then
move
on
to
the
remainder
of
our
public
hearing
agenda,
which
starts
with
item
number
two,
which
is
a
land
sale
at
2837,
chicago
avenue,
to
alliana
health
systems.
I'd
invite
lisa,
who
I
have
not
met
yet
to
give
the
staff
presentation.
R
Good
afternoon
sir
goodman
and
committee
members,
my
name
is
lisa
passes
project
coordinator
in
cped.
Today
I
am
before
you
with
a
council
action
related
to
the
sale
of
the
city
owned
property
at
2837,
chicago
avenue.
The
property
is
a
33
foot
wide
rectangular
parcel
that
slopes
down
to
the
midtown
greenway.
R
A
line
last
plan
for
the
city,
owned
chrysler,
is
to
include
it
in
its
new
parking
facility
project
and
replace
the
current
sidewalk
with
an
enhanced
promenade,
including
landscaping
and
pedestrian
scale
lighting.
The
total.
The
total
project
is
estimated
to
cost
approximately
77.6
million
dollars
funded
exclusively
by
aligner
illini's.
R
R
R
B
You
so
much
miss
passes
for
your
report.
We're
all
very
pleased
to
meet
you,
even
though
it's
virtually
I'm
going
to
go
ahead.
I'm
going
to
ask
if
there
are
any
questions
from
members
of
the
committee
prior
to
opening
the
public
hearing
seeing
none.
There
are
four
people
signed
up
for
the
public
hearing
today,
we'll
start
with
the
first
person
signed
up,
which
is
maria
morocco,
followed
by
adam
jewell,
ben
henderson
and
tony
lacroix,
we'll
start
with
maria,
please
press
star.
S
B
T
Yeah,
as
far
as
I
know,
she
is
simply
to
to
begin
speaking.
I
did
indicate
that
she
is
mixed.
B
E
B
D
D
My
current
role
is
vice
president
of
facilities,
management
and
planning
for
alliant
health
alliance.
Health
has
been
part
of
the
phillips
neighborhood
for
over
100
years
and
we
plan
to
remain
an
act
to
participate
in
this
community
for
a
long
time
between
our
evan
northwestern
campus
and
our
system
office
and
the
midtown
exchange
building.
We
have
a
large
presence
in
the
neighborhood
and
our
major
employer
we're
the
number
one
ranked
hospital
in
the
minneapolis-st
paul
metro.
D
D
As
part
of
our
commitment
to
our
neighborhood,
we
honor
a
covenant
going
back
to
the
1980s
in
which
we
agreed
to
stay
within
our
existing
property
lines
and
not
impact
the
housing
around
our
campus
by
expanding
into
the
surrounding
residential
neighborhood.
The
construction
of
the
transportation
hub
will
allow
the
demolition
of
our
existing
ramp
number
one,
which
is
an
830
stall
ramp.
D
We've
worked
hard
to
make
this
project
one
that
incorporates
many
elements
for
our
organization
in
our
community
and
the
land
purchase.
We're
discussing
today
is
an
important
part
of
allowing
that
design
to
be
a
reality.
Lisa
listed
many
of
the
important
elements
that
we've
built
into
this
project.
I
want
to
add.
O
U
D
As
part
of
the
planning
for
this
project,
we
developed
a
campus-wide
transportation
management
plan
that
was
designed
to
reduce
our
employees
single
occupancy
vehicle
rate,
much
lower
than
its
current
level,
by
offering
alternative
to
single
occupancy
vehicle
use,
including
bike
commuting.
Ride,
sharing
and
discounts
on
public
transportation
use
that
transportation
management
plan
applies
to
both
the
avenue
western
campus
and
the
system
office
lisa
mentioned
the
roof
is
ready
for
solar
garden.
We're
pleased
to
say
that
we
actually
the
roof
will
be
a
community
solar
garden.
D
We
are
also
planning
making
improvements
to
the
existing
freewheel
bike
center
that
will
allow
better
operations
for
the
freewheel
team
and
increase
bike
commuting
options
for
line
employees.
That
area
took
a
big
hit
during
2020
and
we're
committed
to
bringing.
N
D
B
B
N
C
N
E
F
B
Items
are
approved,
we'll
then
move
to
items
number
three
and
four
they're
both
related
to
the
west
broadway
curve,
affordable
housing
project.
So
I'd
like
to
handle
these
items
together,
I
will
invite
tiffany
glasper,
who
has
probably
worked
on
this
project
longer
than
many
people
have
been
on
the
city
council,
to
give
this
report,
and
just
especially
thank
her
for
all
the
work
she's
done
on
this.
Ms
glasper
welcome.
V

A
land
cell
recommendation
and
a
bond
issuance
recommendation,
beam,
formerly
known
as
west
broadway
west
building,
is
being
proposed
by
sherman
associates.
This
project
is
a
92
unit.
New
construction
project
proposed
to
be
located
on
west
broadway
avenue
between
roughly
james
and
newton
avenues
north
along
what
is
commonly
known
as
the
curve.
V
V
V
V
sherman
associates
was
the
selected
developer
and
we
have
been
working
with
them
over
these
last
few
years,
both
to
secure
financing
and
on
various
improvements
to
the
project
plans.
The
sale
of
these
parcels
is
in
compliance
with
the
city's
disposition
policy.
The
parcels
will
be
sold
for
redevelopment
for
five
hundred
thousand
dollars,
reflecting
a
land
sale
right
down
of
one
hundred
and
thirty
five
thousand
six
hundred
fifty
eight
dollars.
V
V
The
bond
allocation
allows
the
project
to
meet
the
required
50
percent
test
and
will
be
issued
in
two
series.
The
series
a
bonds
would
be
permanent
debt
to
the
project
in
an
amount
of
approximately
14.6
million
dollars,
and
the
series
b
bonds
represent

I
do

they're

plan.
I
understand
there's
going
to
be
a
presentation
by
staff
who
is
going
to
be
joined
by
two
others
and
council
vice
president
jenkins,
who
will
also
be
joining
I'd,
invite
them

make
a
few
comments,
starting
with
our
staff,
and
then
mr

by
carmen

and
then
council.
Vice
president
jenkins,
hello,.
W
Good
afternoon,
chair
goodman
and
council
members,
my
name
is
bree
golding,
I'm
a
city
planner
in
stevepets,
long
range
planning,
division
and
I'm
here
to
present
the
38th
street
thrive
strategic
development
plan
and
recognize
all
the
years
of
work.
This
community
has
done
to
envision
what
38th
street
can
become
next
slide.
W
Please,
the
38th
street
thrive
plan
was
prepared
by
the
community
to
set
a
vision
and
list
action
steps
for
the
38th
street
cultural
district.
This
plan
actually
continues
to
work.
Council
member
elizabeth
glennon
started
in
2015
with
the
future
of
east
38th
street
planning
series
that
she
had
the
boundaries
in
this
plan
is
from
nikola
avenue
to
bloomington
avenue
the
construction
of
I-94,
fragmented,
the
community
and
stakeholders
to
this
day
still
expressed
a
desire
to
reconnect
with
the
community
on
both
sides
of
the
bridge
next
slide.
W
For
the
past
two
years
there
has
been
a
co-creation
process
to
develop
a
community-centered
vision
by
neighborhood
associations,
businesses,
community
organizations
and
residents
along
the
corridor
in
collaboration
with
council.
Vice
president
jenkins,
in
the
ward
8
office,
the
community
decided
how
they
wanted
city
staff
to
support
them
in
this
planning
effort
and
decided
that
long-range
planning
would
serve
as
a
consultant
role.
So
we
provided
guidance
on
city
operations
and
procedures,
conducted
research
provided
materials
to
the
planning
committee,
facilitated
the
decision-making
process
and
then
helped
package.
W
The
final
plan
document
on
behalf
of
the
community
next
slide.
The
plan
is
broken
down
into
a
few
parts.
The
introduction
includes
the
vision,
the
plan
and
the
overview
of
the
of
the
community
history
of
the
african
american
community
and
its
imprint
on
minneapolis
history
is
in
the
our
legacy
section.
W
A
list
of
action
steps
for
the
next
10
years
is
in
the
our
strategy
section
and
the
vision
direction.
Section
reviews
current
development
projects
currently
happening.
This
plan
was
written
by
written
to
and
written
for
the
community
and
the
language
throughout.
The
document
reflects
that
next
slide.
W
The
plan
serves
as
a
milestone
in
a
larger
ongoing
community
process,
which
will
include
a
special
focus
on
the
intersection
of
38th
and
chicago,
also
known
as
george
flores
square
in
the
near
future.
It's
a
living
document
that
tells
where
and
how
the
community
wants
to
develop
over
the
next
10
years.
The
plan
reflects
the
community's
values
for
equitable
development
and
engagement,
supporting
anti-displacement
efforts,
establishing
community
wealth
through
collective
ownership
and
reclaiming
their
position
to
have
meaningful
impact
on
new
developments
and
investments
in
the
district.
W
Those
specific
strategies
are
marked
throughout
the
document,
with
a
anti-displacement
symbol.
Next
slide,
the
plan
strategies
are
broken
down
into
five
areas:
preserve
legacy,
generate
advocacy,
deepen
community
support,
strengthen
accessibility
and
obtain
financial
investments.
Throughout
the
five
strategy
areas,
there
are
21
action
steps
for
the
community
to
work
and
establish
by
2030.
next
slide.
W
One
of
the
biggest
action
steps
in
the
plan
is
community
ownership
through
the
creation
of
the
cultural
district
community
development
corporation
or
cdc,
the
cdc
would
represent
the
community
in
the
future
development
projects
and
be
governed
by
a
board
of
directors
consisting
of
community
leaders
in
the
38th
street
coachella
district
next
slide
last.
I
want
to
quickly
highlight
a
few
development
projects
currently
happening
in
the
district.
First
is
the
dreamland
on
38
a
entrepreneur
workspace
by
the
cultural
wellness
center?
W
Second,
is
the
bethany
senior
housing
which
you
probably
know
of
which
is
48
senior,
affordable
housing
units
currently
under
construction,
and
third,
is
the
kente
circle
expansion,
a
mental
health
agency
that
started
in
a
room
at
sabathany
and
has
been
in
this
community
for
over
16
years?
What
is
unique
about
these
projects
is
all
of
the
developers
are
from
the
community
and
have
been
serving
the
community
for
decades.
The
38th
street
community
wants
to
encourage
and
support
more
homegrown
developers
and
community
ownership
opportunities
next
slide
to
end.
W
The
action
before
the
committee
is
a
38th
street
thrive,
strategic
development
plan
resolution,
which
formerly
recognizes
the
efforts
of
the
community
and
commits
that
the
city
will
consider
the
plan's
recommendations
when
formulating
the
city's
objectives,
investments,
plans
and
policies
for
the
38th
street
cultural
district.
I
would
like
to
thank
the
38th
street
community
for
the
honor
to
serve
them
through
some
of
the
most
challenging
yet
beautiful
and
inspiring
times
through
it.
All
the
city
and
the
world
are
finally
seeing
how
special
and
rare
this
community
is.
B
Thank
you
so
much
for
that
presentation.
I
know
there
are
two
members
of
the
community
who
are
signed
up
to
participate
in
this
call,
so
I
would
invite
either
one
to
please
press
star
six
to
unmute
and
give
a
few
minutes
of
comments.
Should
you
like.
U
Hi
good
afternoon
hi,
this
is
anthony
taylor
with
the
cultural
wellness
center
and
I'm
really
a
long-term
participant
in
this
really
a
community
process
led
by
cpp
jenkins
and
city
staff,
and
it
is
a
great
example
of
what
can
happen
when
we're
collaborating
as
community,
and
I
just
wanted
to
add
some
context
just
around
history-
that
this
community
really
from
the
1930s
to
the
1970s,
was
really
an
african-american
neighborhood
that
was
flourishing
on
the
south
side,
between
east
34th,
on
46th
street,
from
nicolette
avenue
to
chicago
avenue,
and
really
that
in
the
early
20th
century,
that
the
restricted
housing
covenants
discriminated
against
blacks,
especially
and
really
a
number
of
distinctly
black
neighborhoods
immersed
in
twin
cities
and
the
first
two
of
these
emerged
near
north
side
and
other
in
seven
corners.
U
U
But
this
third
black
neighborhood
developing
on
the
south
side
really
also
had
some
unique
elements
of
it,
and
it
exists
now
in
the
neighborhoods
that
we
call
central,
bryant
and
regina
neighborhoods.
U
U
One
of
the
neighborhoods
first
businesses
was
the
dreamland
cafe
it
opened
in
1939
and
owned
by
anthony
b,
cash's
and
later
caches
operated.
A
private
club
on
us
on
the
south
side
that
many
elders
in
our
community
know
called
the
nakarima
club
and,
ironically,
nakarima
is
american
spelled
backwards
shortly.
Just
before
that,
the
spokesman
recorder
newspaper
was
formed
in
1934
by
cecil
b
newman
and
in
1958.
U
An
additional
aspect
of
this
community
was
that
the
post-world
war
ii
housing
crunch
resulted
in
a
in
a
building
bone
that
transported
minneapolis
residents,
but
the
african-american
home
buyers,
including
many
gis,
really
were
locked
out
by
restrictive
covenants,
as
well
as
de
facto
segregation
and
mortgage
discrimination.
A
housing
complex,
led
by
everett
tillerson,
combining
with
the
minneapolis
urban
league
and
the
federal
housing
administration
and
several
african-american
realtors,
one
of
which
was
archie
gibbons,
began
to
develop
this
housing
complex
in
1953
as
the
new
home
for
negroes.
U
90
of
the
homes
were
sold
to
african
americans
and
mixed
risk
buyers.
Today,
most
of
the
tilsum-built
homes
still
stand
and
are
part
of
a
proposed
and
are
part
of
our
historic
district.
U
With
the
leadership
of
cvp
jenkins,
38th
street
has
been
designated
one
of
the
six
cultural
districts,
and
we've
created
really
a
goal
around
economic
development
and
really
what
is
really
the
city's
one
of
the
city's
most
diverse
neighborhoods,
and
this
is
being
led
by
multiple
projects,
including
dream.
London
38th
street,
the
kente
circle,
development,
work
and
and
work
being
led
by
sabathany,
and
all
of
these
are
designed
really
provide
cultural
healing
by
leveraging
the
cultural
community
and
business
networks
and
create
social
and
economic
opportunities
that
enrich
african
american
entrepreneurs
and
the
community.
U
Broadly,
this
healing
has
become
even
more
critical
since
the
murder
of
george
floyd
four
blocks
away
from
this
african-american
legacy
epicenter,
and
with
that
this
site
has
become
a
pilgrimage
for
social
justice
advocates
worldwide,
and
we
believe
that
dreamland
on
38th
is
more
than
a
building
or
a
project.
Now
there
are
currently
seven
african-american
owned
business
at
this
intersection
that
are
in
danger
unless
we
are
committed
to
their
existence.
B
E
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I'm
not
sure
these
are
words
of
wisdom
or
not,
but
I
certainly
am
really
grateful
for
the
the
work
of
cpad
staff,
ms
golding
and
and
other
other
members,
paul
mogus,
who
have
worked
with
my
office
and
my
team
and
and
so
graciously
with
the
community
to
to
bring
this
plan
together.
E
You
know
I
I
couldn't
have
ever
imagined
at
the
onset
of
this
plan
that
it
would
tie
so
deeply
into
what
occurred
at
the
intersection
of
38th
in
chicago
last
memorial
day
may
25th.
E
But
you
know
I
it
it
just
amazes
me
that
we
had
this
plan
together
to
really
talk
about
the
the
real
significant
issues
that
have
been
plaguing
this
community
long
before
mr
floyd's
murder.
E
You
know
I've
heard
it
mentioned
on
this
call
already
on
this
in
this
meeting
that
you
know,
minneapolis
has
some
of
the
worst
disparities
in
the
country
as
it
relates
to
black
and
white
and,
and
that
is
nowhere
more
evident
than
than
along
the
38th
street
corridor,
and
so
we
had
been
talking
about
a
center
for
racial
healing.
E
We
have
been
talking
about
enhanced
and
increased
home
ownership
opportunities,
job
training
opportunities,
really
preserving
the
cultural
history
of
the
area
we
had
already
started
to
to
rename.
E
Some
of
the
avenues
along
the
way
third
avenue
we
named
after
ms
clarissa
walker
from
the
sibanthony
community,
one
of
the
founders
of
the
subantheny
community
center
fourth
avenue.
We,
we
renamed
leona
q,
newman,
who
was
married
to
the
founder
of
the
and
and
subsequent
president
of
the
minneapolis
spokesman.
E
And
so
you
know
this
work
had
been
underway
and
to
see
the
the
culmination
of
of
this
plan.
The
38th
street
drive
coinciding
with
you
know
this.
This
world
wide
history
shifting
moment
is,
is
just
really
satisfying
and
gratifying,
and
it
it
lets
me
know
that
you
know.
While
we
do
and
must
work
with
the
community
to
really
figure
out
what
the.
E
What
the
sort
of
memorial,
or
how
do
we
memorialize
the
the
death
of
george
floyd
and
so
many
other
unarmed
black
people
who
have
been
killed
by
the
police?
We,
we
must
include
community
in
that
process.
But
you
know
this.
This
plan
represents
the
fact
that
we
have
this
work
underway
and
we
have.
E
We
have
a
plan
that
can
be
implemented
as
soon
as
this
plan
passes
through
our
city
council
committee's
processes,
and
we
can
begin
to
engage
with
philanthropic
partners
with
corporations
and
other
entities,
as
well
as
the
city
who
has
already
committed
resources
to
begin
to
implement
these.
These
plans
so
grateful
to
see
pitt
so
grateful
to
brian
golden
and
and
again
elmington
paul
moguls,
but
even
more
importantly,
to
the
four
neighborhoods
bryant
central
bancroft,
powderhorn
and
actually
five
neighbors
six
neighborhoods.
E
E
You
know
much
talk
has
gone
to
the
rondo
neighborhood
and
how
94
disrupted
that
neighborhood
people
don't
talk
as
much
about
the
disruption
that
w
created
in
south
minneapolis,
and
you
know
the
plans
were
really
for
the
for
the
freeway
35w
to
go
down
lindell
avenue.
E
E
You
know
the
path
that
it
it
did
and
went
straight
through
king
mlk
park
and
took
out
so
many
homes
and
neighborhoods,
causing
the
beloved
central
high
school
to
close,
because
there
just
wasn't
enough
students
in
the
area
anymore
and
and
really
disrupted
the
thriving
business
corridor
that
was
38th
street,
and
so
this
plan,
the
38th
street
thrive
plan,
hopes
to
bring
that
vibrancy
that
history,
that
commitment
to
community
back,
and
so
I
hope
that
all
of
my
colleagues
will
support
this
plan.
E
And
thank
you
to
mr
taylor
for
your
comments.
I
really
appreciate
hearing
that,
and
I'm
sure
I
was
just
meeting
with
carmen-
means
yesterday
about
the
black
businesses
at
38th
and
chicago
and
and
really
trying
to
figure
out
ways
that
we
can
support
them,
and
this
plan
is
one
way
that
we
can
do
that.
So
thank
you
all
for
your
time
and
I
hope
you
can.
B
You
so
much
council
vice
president
for
taking
the
time
to
be
at
our
meeting
today.
Is
there
anyone
who
has
anything
they'd
like
to
say
about
item
number
28,
which
is
the
resolution
recognizing
the
thrive
strategic
development
plan?
