Good
afternoon
sherrick
and
committee
members
again,
I'm
mike
kennedy,
I'm
the
director
of
our
transportation,
maintenance
and
repair
group,
four
division,
four
public
works.
Today
we
have
a
series
of
public
hearings
for
three
linear
projects,
the
first
of
which
is
the
53rd
avenue
north
street
resurfacing
project
on
december
18th
2020,
the
city
council
designated
the
locations
treats
and
improvements
proposed.
We
made
in
the
2021
street
resurfacing
program,
53rd
avenue
north
from
10
avenue
north
to
I-94,
east
frontage.
Road
is
a
residential
municipal,
state
aid
or
msa
street
that
was
built
in
1980.
F
It
has
a
pavement
condition,
index
average
pay
payment,
condition,
index
or
pci
of
73,
and
this
is
a
border
street
between
minneapolis
and
the
city
of
brooklyn
center.
The
joint
powers
agreement
between
the
two
cities
is
currently
being
prepared
to
define
roles,
responsibilities
and
respect
respective
project
cost
allocations.
F
F
The
purpose
of
the
asphalt
paving
asphalt,
pavement
resourcing
program
is
to
extend
life
of
some
city
streets
which
are
not
scheduled
for
any
other
preventative
maintenance,
renovation
or
reconstruction
in
the
foreseeable
future.
Resulting
the
resourcing
program
is
addressing
city
streets,
which
includes
some
msa
streets
and
are
at
the
point
of
their
life,
where
a
new
street
surface
will
extend
the
streets
life,
improve
ride,
quality
and
neighborhood
livability
and
help
to
slow
the
overall
deterioration
of
our
city
street
system
that
goes
for
brooklyn
center's
segment
of
the
street
as
well.
F
The
2021
program
is
identified
in
20-year
streets
funding
plan
and
was
included
in
the
2021-2025
capital
improvement
program.
Transportation,
maintenance
and
repair
coordinates
with
transportation,
planning
and
programming
on
any
bike
facilities,
or
anything
like
that.
Within
this
program,
the
proposed
street
resurfacing.
Special
assessments
were
determined
by
applying
the
2021
uniform
assessment
rates
to
the
land
area
of
benefited
parcels
located
within
the
street
influence
zone
along
the
improved
streets.
These
assessments
are
not
calculated
based
on
project
cost
alone.
The
city
uses
a
formula
that
combines
influence
area
with
an
annually
established
uniform
assessment
rate.
F
F
The
proposed
total
assessment
amount
for
the
53rd
avenue
project
is
62
700
975.53
there
was
a
community
meeting
held
on.
Excuse
me,
wednesday
may
26th
there
were
97
individual
invitations
mailed
out
and
there
were
no
attendees
at
the
meeting.
This
was
a
virtual
meeting,
so
what
we
proposed
today
is
passage
of
resolution,
ordering
the
work
to
proceed
and
adopting
special
assessments
in
the
amount
of
62
975.53
for
this
project
and
passage
of
resolution
requesting
the
board
of
estimate
and
taxation,
authorize
the
city's
issuance
and
sale
of
assessment
bonds
and
said
amount.
C
I
am
not
seeing
any.
I
will
then
open
the
public
hearing.
Do
we
have
anyone
registered
or
any
indication
otherwise
to
make
comment
not
seen
any?
Is
there
anyone
on
the
line
public
hearing
cue?
Oh,
we
do
have
someone
matt
neinstead,
please
state
your
name
and
address
for
the
record.
G
Yes,
my
name
is
matt
nein
said
my
address
is
5230
humboldt
avenue
north.
I
support
the
resurfacing,
but
I
do
not
support
the
current
scope
of
the
bike
lane
proposed
for
53rd
avenue.
North
is
part
of
the
project.
This
lack
of
support
is
primarily
due
to
safety
concerns
and
the
lack
of
maintenance
of
the
current
bikeways,
let
alone
how
maintenance
has
been
performed
on
53rd
avenue
north.
Currently,
the
speed
limit
on
53rd
avenue
north
is
30
miles
an
hour.
G
G
The
bikeway,
based
on
the
current
criteria,
would
have
to
be
protected
to
conform
to
those
guidelines,
and
I
urge
the
city
to
stop
misleading
the
people
through
the
project
website
that
these
bikeways
somehow
are
part
of
the
network,
because
they're,
not
the
city,
has
many
poorly
maintained
bikeways
and
by
poorly
maintained
I
mean
there's
a
lack
of
restriping
resurfacing
and
routine
street
sweeping.
C
Thank
you
for
those
comments.
I
will
see
if
there
are
other
people
who
wish
to
make
testimony,
but
we
will
address
the
issues
as
you
present
to
them.
So
I
appreciate
that.
Thank
you.
We
have,
I
believe,
also
well
not
seen.
Is
there
anyone
else
mq,
not
seeing
any
indication
of
that,
I
will
make
a
call
out
for
anyone
listening
to
fresh
star
six,
not
hearing
any
indication
through
that
method.
F
Mike
kennedy
again,
I
can
talk
about
the
maintenance.
We
actually
have
a
very
robust
maintenance
program,
I'm
not
sure
of
the
specifics
of
the
concerns
about
maintenance.
We
have
a
very
solid
winter
maintenance
program,
we
have
a
summer
sweeping
program
and
we
believe
we
are
taking
care
of
them
appropriately.
F
The
repair
and
replacement.
We
would
do
those
programs
as
well
resurfacing
and
some
of
the
other
or
aggressive
repairs
would
be
something
that
we'd
done
out
of
the
capital
improvement
program,
the
striping
and
the
bike
lanes.
I
I'm
not
prepared
to
respond
to
those.
E
Am
we
are
doing
some
emailing
behind
the
scenes
to
follow
up
on
the
triple
a
specifically
the
triple
a
question,
and
I
just
I
don't
have
it
quite
at
the
moment.
C
E
Mr
chair,
I
there
wouldn't
be
any
special.
I
guess:
enforcement
on
necessarily
on
a
border
street
like
this,
that
I,
at
least
from
you,
know,
city
forces.
I
can't
speak
to
what
the
neighboring
jurisdictions
would
do
on
that
road
and
that's
something
we
can
certainly
follow
up
on.
C
Yeah
and
it's
one
of
the
things
I
think
our
enforcement
division-
they
know
that
there's
a
specific
issue
on
a
road-
that's
about
to
be
repaired,
has
been
repaired
or
needs
repair
that
would
be
sort
of
something
that
needs
to
be
brought
to
their
attention.
I
imagine.
E
Yeah,
mr
chair,
at
this
point
I
I
would
say
we
can
follow
up
we'll
follow
up
with
the
committee
and
with
the
public
speaker
an
answer
around
that
striking
question.
C
Appreciate
that
thank
you,
so
I
will
close
the
public
hearing
and
see
if
there
are
any
questions
or
comments
from
committee.
C
C
That
carries
and
we
can
now
move
to
public
main
number,
giving
the
floor
back
to
director.
E
Global.
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
Second,
public
hearing
is
54th
street
west
street
resurfacing
project
and
mr
kennedy,
the
director
of
transportation,
maintenance
and
repair,
will
introduce
this
item.
F
Thank
you,
director,
jelly
chair
and
members
of
the
committee.
This
is
the
second
project
similar
to
the
first
except
we
have
to
go
all
the
way
to
the
south
coast
of
the
city
for
this
one.
This
is
a
border
street
54th
street
west
border
street,
with
edina
on
december
18
2020,
the
city
council
designated
the
location
streets
and
improvements
for
the
21
2021
program.
F
54Th
street
from
france,
avenue
south
to
zenith
avenue
south
is
a
residential
street
that
was
recon.
It
was
constructed
in
1969.
It
has
a
pavement
condition,
index
average
of
47
and
it's
a
border
street
between
minneapolis
and
the
city
of
edina.
A
joint
powers
agreement
again
between
the
two
cities
is
currently
being
is,
has
been.
F
The
purpose
of
the
program
again
is
extend
the
life
of
some
city
streets.
The
proposed
streets,
resurface
and
special
assessments
were
determined
by
applying
the
2021
uniform
assessment
rates.
As
stated
earlier,
there
was
again
a
neighborhood
meeting,
convened
on
too
many
pieces
of
paper
here.
On
tuesday
may
25th
there
were
32
invitations
mailed
for
a
virtual
meeting
and
one
attending
attendee
logged
into
the
meeting.
There
were
really
no
issues
brought
up
at
the
meeting.
F
Therefore,
our
recommendation
today
is
passage
of
resolution,
ordering
the
work
to
proceed
and
adopting
special
assessments
in
the
amounts
of
24,
361
and
cents
for
this
project
passage
of
resolution
requesting
the
board
of
estimate
and
taxation
authorized
cities
issuance
and
sale
of
assessment
bonds
in
set
amount.
Again,
that's
the
extent
of
my
presentation
we
can
stand
by
for
questions
me.
C
C
H
Mr
chair,
I
did
want
to
mention
that
I
was
present
at
the
neighborhood
level
meeting
when
larry
matsumoto
came
to
to
the
fulton
meeting
to
discuss
it.
H
There
are
some
a
really
interesting
use
of
round
roundabouts
or
bump
outs
on
this
border
street
and
while
it's
it's
kind
of
a
unique
border
street
in
that
it's
very
residential
and
there
isn't
a
lot
of
differentiation
between
the
north
and
the
south
sides
of
the
street,
I
think
it's
working
well,
so
I
want
to
just
offer
that
as
these
the
roundabouts,
while
they're
not
like
multiple
options
of
turning
they,
they
have
been
working
well
in
this
area
and
that's
something
that's
relatively
new
for
two
different
cities
to
embark
on
together.
H
C
Thank
you
for
that
background
and
comment.
Anyone
else
on
committee
wish
to
speak.
If
not,
I
will
ask
the
clerk
to
call
the
role.
A
C
That
carries,
we
can
now
go
to
public
hearing
number
three
director
jelly.
E
F
Thank
you,
director,
jelly
and
members
of
the
committee
chair
reich
this
one
is
right
through
the
heart
of
the
city,
franklin
avenue
west
street
resurfacing
again
on
december
18
2020,
the
city
council
designated
the
location
streets
of
the
2021
program,
of
which
this
project
is
a
part
of
franklin
avenue
west
from
penn
oliver
avenue
south
to
hennepin
south
is
a
residential
street,
with
portions
reconstructed
in
1962,
1980
and
1982,
and
has
an
average
condition
pci
of
56
to
77
or
a
range
of
56
to
77..
F
F
The
proposed
street
resources
special
assessments
were
determined
by
applying
the
2021
uniform
assessment
rates.
As
stated
earlier,
there
was
a
community
meeting
held
a
virtual
community
community
meeting
held
on
thursday
may
27th
at
6
30
with
131
invitations
mailed
and
one
person
attended.
There
were
no
issues
brought
forward.
F
So
again
we
recommend
passage
of
resolution
ordering
the
work
to
proceed
and
adopting
special
assessments
in
the
amount
of
127
138.70
for
this
project
and
passage
of
resolution
authorizing
the
board
of
estimated
taxation
to
issue
city
and
issue
and
sale
of
assessment
bonds
in
the
amount
stated
again.
That's
my
presentation.
We
can
stand
for
questions.
C
Thank
you,
mr
kennedy.
Any
questions
for
staff
for
presentation,
councilmember,
bender.
I
Thanks,
mr
chair,
just
a
quick
comment
that
franklin
avenue
changes
character
pretty
significantly
in
this
portion
here
as
it's
west
of
hennepin
avenue,
and
I
just
wanted
to
note
that
there
is
a
project
as
well
to
the
east
on
franklin
avenue,
a
very
short
portion,
which
is
a
reconstruction
with
some
more
significant
safety
improvements.
I
Just
since
there
are
two
projects
on
franklin
avenue
right
next
to
each
other.
I
just
wanted
to
just
make
sure
to
clarify
here
that
you
know
this
is
the
resurfacing
project
on
on
that
western
section
that
smaller
piece,
which
is
being
redesigned,
will
come
through
at
a
different
time,
and
I
just
again
appreciate
all
the
work.
Franklin
avenue
is
one
of
the
high
crash
corridors
in
that
eastern
section,
so
those
safety
improvements
are
really
important,
and
then
this
is
the
you
know.
I
This
is
the
portion
where
west
of
of
hennepin
it
gets
more
quiet
and
just
wanted
to
make
that
distinction
between
the
two
projects
that
are
underway.
At
the
same
time,
thanks.
C
A
A
E
Thank
you,
mr
chair
item.
Four
is
a
land
sale,
public
hearing
portion
of
right
of
way
adjacent
to
215
washington,
avenue,
north
and
matt
hannon,
with
our
transportation,
engineering
and
design
division?
We'll
present
this
item.
J
Thank
you
director,
jelly
good
afternoon,
chair
right
members
of
the
committee.
My
name
is
matt
hannon
with
the
transportation,
engineering
and
design
division
of
public
works.
This
is
a
public
hearing
and
request
for
city
council
to
authorize
the
conveyance
of
city-owned
land
to
the
adjacent
property
owner.
J
J
The
director
of
public
works
has
declared
the
property
as
excess
and
not
needed
for
municipal
operations.
The
city's
right-of-way
interest
has
also
been
vacated
in
preparation
for
the
sale
as
a
condition
of
the
land
sale.
The
city
will
retain
storm
sewer,
easement
or
an
easement
for
storm
sewer
purposes
over
a
portion
of
the
parcel
as
well.
J
So
the
action
before
you
is
to
pass
the
resolution
approving
the
sale
of
the
property
to
mic
limited
and
jamelli
enterprises
inc
for
210,
000.
and
I'll
remain
available.
To
answer
any
questions
you
may
have,
and
we've
also
got
staff
from
cpad
beth
girls
and
is
here
as
they
will
be,
assisting
in
the
sale
thanks.
C
Thank
you
for
the
presentation.
Are
there
any
questions
per
the
presentation
for
staff.
K
Yeah,
just
one
quick
question,
which
is
a
little
bit
lighthearted.
I
actually
meant
to
walk
by
and
see
if
it
happened.
Have
we
gotten
the
jersey
barriers
off
of
that
property
that
I
know
we
wanted
to
make
sure
we
move
while
there's?
Well,
it's
still
ours.
J
You
know
I
chair
right,
councilmember
fletcher,
I
don't
know
the
answer
to
that.
I
think
I'd
have
to
check
in
with
some
folks
from
our
traffic
and
parking
services.
I
I
think
you
had
maybe
been
corresponding
with
them
about
that.
So
I
will
have
to
look
into
that
and
get
back
to
you
on
that.
K
I
I
I
have
I'll
I'll
I'll
just
note
for
the
record
that
my
my
support
for
this
is
is
contingent
on
us
making
sure
we
get
that
done
in
a
timely
way,
so
that
it's
not
a
part
of
negotiating
with
the
future
owner
of
the
property.
I
I
think
it's
actually
been
done
already,
but
we
should
just
double
check
and-
and
then
I
just
wanna,
take
the
opportunity
to
complement
public
works
on
their
work
at
this
intersection.
K
The
reason
that
this
is
excess
is
because
they're
doing
excellent
collaborative
work
with
mndot
on
reconfiguring
the
space
around
the
394
off
ramp
and
and
we've
we've
managed
to
create
both
some
new
green
space
on
mndot
land
that
the
north
loop
has
invested
heavily
in
maintaining
and
adding
some
public
art
to
and
and
we've
also
got
a
plan
for
reconfiguring
that
intersection
in
a
way
that
now
we
know
that
we
don't
need
this
particular
piece
of
land,
because
we
have
a
plan
for
how
that
reconfiguration
can
happen.
K
C
Thank
you.
Anyone
else
make
comment
not
seen
that,
thanks
for
the
context,
councilman
fletcher,
to
understand
the
significance
of
this
transfer,
what
it
implies
and
also,
I
think,
it's
quite
laudable-
your
attention
to
our
jersey
barrier
inventory
too.
Let
me
comment
on
that
as
well
and
anyone
else.
If
not,
I
will
move
this
item
for
approval.
C
D
E
L
L
A
B
You
so
much
thank
you,
elizabeth
stout
and
thank
you
congress,
congressman
members,
so
I'm
sean
connady,
I'm
at
40,
53,
23rd
avenue
south
and
I'm
the
chair
and
co-founder
of
friends
of
lake
hiawatha,
and
that
is
a
organization
representing
a
hundred
dedicated
community
members.
And
so
we,
the
issue
of
storm
water
pollution,
is
one
that
we
know
quite
well.
So
we
have
been
working
on
addressing
pollution
for
the
past
six
years
and
have
asked
for
storm
water
treatment.
B
So
it's
created
quite
a
problem,
so
as
the
swmp
gets
revised
based
on
input,
we
hope
that
the
city
of
minneapolis
public
works
will
modify
the
swmt
to
include
trash
and
plastics
as
the
image
trashy
plastic
should
be
added
to
the
list
of
targeted
pollutants,
because
the
swmp
includes
a
little
to
no
acknowledgement
consideration
or
remedy
proposed
for
trash
and
plastic
pollution,
and
even
though
in
minneapolis
it's
the
most
recognizable
and
obvious
gluten
in
our
waters,
especially
at
lake
hiawatha
and
the
mississippi
river.
B
So
we
ask
that
the
cost
of
ignoring
trash
is
evident
at
lake
hiawatha,
where
the
accumulated
trash
of
decades
has
now
broken
down
into
microplastics
that
contaminate
the
soil
and
water
and
are
now
an
irreversible
part
of
the
food
web,
and
I
did
submit
a
document
with
my
when
I
signed
up.
So
hopefully
you
have
that
and
I
I
would
like
to
say
a
few
more
things,
but
I
would
welcome
any
questions
you
might
have
with
our
familiarity
with
that
situation
there.
B
B
So,
since
we
made
our
initial
pleas
in
2015
and
participated
in
commenting
on
the
ms4
permits
and
the
sw
on
ps,
we
really
haven't
seen
improvement,
and
that
is
not
because
of
the
lack
of
work
or
effort
on
the
part
of
public
works.
It's
rather
the
reality
of
such
a
large
sub-watershed
that
empties
without
filtration
into
the
lake.
So
what
is
really
needed
is
comprehensive,
stormwater
treatment
and
the
hiawatha
golf
course
master
plan.
F
B
A
plan
to
include
comprehensive
stormwater
treatment
but,
as
you
may
know,
it
is
a
contentious
issue
that
is
continually
being
delayed
because
of
its
being
tied
to
being
tied
to
the
hiawatha
golf
course
master
plan
and
the
fate
of
hiawatha
golf
course,
which
it
being
essential
infrastructure
that
is
not
performing
well,
and
we
believe
you
know.
We
hope
that
the
city
could
could.
B
Exercise
some
authority,
as
well
as
the
other
governing
agencies
such
as
the
dnr
and
the
police
control
agency,
need
to
put
more
focus
on
getting
storm
water
treatment,
and
we
would
ask
that
the
city
install
a
temporary
litter
boom,
which
we
believe
is
quite
feasible
at
the
north
situation.
B
So
one
of
the
things
in
terms
of
the
cost
of
of
ignoring
it,
the
highway
the
park
board
says
that
if
the
master
plan
were
to
pass,
which
is
not
a
certainty,
it
will
require
seven
more
years
to
implement
comprehensive
stormwater
treatment
and
we
see
that
as
a
real
lack
of
urgency
and
no
one
is
accountable
for
the
trash.
B
That's
in
the
lake
and
in
another
seven
years,
based
on
the
data
that
we've
collected
conservatively,
eleven
thousand
two
hundred
pounds
of
plastic
and
styrofoam
trash
or
over
seven
hundred
thousand
pieces
of
trash
will
be
added
to
lake
hiawatha
and
downstream
waters.
B
Also,
one
almost
done:
okay,
okay
and
4
690
pounds
of
phosphorus
will
enter
lake
iowa
from
the
north
pipe.
So
what
we're
asking
for
is
that
the
swmp
be
revised
to
include
trash
and
plastic
as
a
pollutant
to
be
addressed.
B
C
No
questions
at
this
point
from
we're
gonna
do
intake
from
the
public
hearing
and
I
will
know
and
thank
you
for
that,
and
the
submitted
comments
will
be
reflected
in
the
public
record.
C
I
also
should
note
that
we
are
up
here
the
request
of
staff
continuing
this
public
hearing,
but
we
will
take
comment
today
and
then,
of
course,
I
will
be
subsequently
moving
to
extend
the
public
comment
period
per
staff
request.
But
in
the
meantime,
if
there's
anyone
else,
who
wishes
to
make
comments?
C
Okay,
thank
you.
Does
anyone
else
wish
to
make
comment
per
the
public
hearing
portion.
M
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
I
appreciate
that
and
I
appreciate
sean
speaking
at
this
public
hearing
and
all
the
work
of
friends
of
lake
hiawatha,
and
you
know
I
have
some
more
comments
to
make
on
that.
But
I
thought
it
would
be
a
great
opportunity
or
time
to
hear
from
staff
just
around
these
concerns
with
trash
and
plastic
is
part
of
this
stormwater
management
program
and
as
well,
if
you're
able
to
speak
to
the
interests
in
what
mr
kennedy
mentioned
around,
for
instance
like
the
litter
boom
at
the
site.
M
C
So
is
there
staff
able
to
respond
to
councilmember
johnson's
inquiry.
L
Yes,
thank
you
councilmember,
johnson
and
councilmember
reich
to
first
of
all,
I
do
want
to
thank
mr
connady.
He
has
been
a
tireless
advocate
for
the
water
quality
in
lake
hiawatha,
and
not
just
in
in
words,
but
he's
done
a
lot
of
cleanup
events
as
well.
In
regards
to
some
of
the
the
work
that
we've
done,
we
do
not
have
trash
specifically
listed
as
a
pollutant
in
our
stormwater
management
program,
unlike
chlorides
and
phosphorus,
and
some
of
the
more
common
pollutants
trash
is
not
explicitly
listed.
L
However,
that
has
not
stopped
staff
from
from
working
on
both
some
pilot
projects,
as
well
as
studies
looking
at
at
the
impacts
that
trash
is
having
on
lake
hiawatha.
We've
been
fortunate
enough.
We
were
able
to
partner
with
the
university
of
minnesota
to
look
at
some
possible
options
within
the
lake
hiawatha
watershed
for
some
structural
practices.
L
One
of
the
recommendations
that
came
out
of
that
study
was
some
retrofitting
some
manholes
within
the
watershed,
with
some
trash
screens,
so
staff
was
able
to
manufacture
some
of
those
put
them
in
different
locations,
move
those
around
and
look
for
some
of
the
most
effective
places.
To
put
you
know
some
upstream
trash
controls,
we
also
were
able
to
benefit
from
having
an
urban
scholar
for
two
years
that
was
dedicated
to
looking
at
the
trash
problem
and
studying
the
trash
problem
within
lake
hiawatha.
L
They
did
transects
of
the
lake
with
quantifying
the
types
and
amounts
of
trash
in
2020.
We
were
able
to
do
or
excuse
me.
Yes,
in
2020,
we
were
able
to
start
a
microplastics
screening
to
look
at
the
the
types
of
microplastics
and
the
prevalence
within
those.
Unfortunately,
due
to
covid,
we
had
to
really
truncate
that
study,
so
it
was
pretty
slimmed
down
from
what
we
were
hoping
to
do,
but
we've
also
been
able
to
do
some.
L
What
we
call
litter
scans
within
the
hiawatha
watershed
looking
at
areas
where
there
is
a
heavier
amount
of
litter,
and
that
might
help
us
in
the
future
learn
how
to
target
our
education
campaigns.
Are
we
seeing
higher
amounts
of
litter
next
to
certain
businesses?
Are
we
seeing
more
litter
on
bus
routes?
That
would
then
encourage
us
to
you
know,
educate
people
or
put
out
more
trash
cans
at
at
bus
stations.
L
We
have
done
a
couple
of
different
pilot
projects,
the
first
of
which
is,
we
did
install
a
floating
trash
curtain
at
that
north
pipe
going
into
lake
hiawatha.
Unfortunately,
this
pipe
is
very
significant.
It
drains
almost
a
thousand
acres
and
we
were
never
able
to
successfully
get
it
to
stay
during
large
storm
events.
L
L
The
lake
hiawatha
watershed
was
also
with
the
hamline
university,
the
city
of
minneapolis
and
the
standish
ericsson.
Neighborhood
association
was
our
initial
adopt-a-drain
neighborhoods,
so
they
we
were
able
to
partner
with
that
neighborhood
in
the
lake
hiawatha
watershed
to
start
the
adopted
rain
program
to
encourage
people
to
clean
up
their
their
storm
drains
and
their
gutters
and
to
keep
trash
from
from
even
entering
the
storm
sewer
system
that
involved
actually
door.
L
Hangering,
every
single
household
within
that
watershed,
as
well
as
we
had
master
water
stewards,
go
out
and
try
and
speak
to
about
a
thousand
residents
there
as
well
to
that
really
kick-started
that
program
back
in
2016,
and
we
actually
have
one
of
the
highest
densities
of
adopted
storm
drains
in
the
city
within
the
hiawatha
watershed
and
within
the
standish
erickson
neighborhoods.
L
You
know
these
are
some
of
the
things
that
that
staff
has
been
working
on.
We
are
putting
together
a
report,
that's
going
to
the
pca.
That
outlines
really
all
of
the
work,
the
studies,
as
well
as
the
pilot
projects
that
we've
implemented
so
far,
and
hopefully
it'll
also
look
at
next
steps.
This
is
a
a
complicated
issue
and
there's
no
one
best
solution.
M
Mr
chair,
I
appreciate
all
the
comments
on
this
missed
out.
This
is
this
is
helpful
specifically
to
the
idea
of
adding
some
sort
of
standard
into
a
policy
of
what
limits
would
be.
What
are
your
thoughts
on
that
and,
obviously
I
think
one
challenge
is
compared
to
actual
chemicals
right
chemicals.
You
can
measure
parts
per
million
and
all
of
that,
but
have
are
you
aware
of
other
cities
or
states
that
do
have
such
standards
around
trash
around
microplastics
or
litter
in
their
policies?
M
L
Thank
you,
councilmember
johnson,
the
state
of
minnesota
does
not
recognize
trash
and
litter
as
a
a
specific
pollutant.
It's
not
something
that
we
have
water
quality
standards
on.
I
believe
the
only
state
that
does
currently
have
a
trash
standard
is
california
and
the
way
theirs
is
written.
Is
that
there's
a
zero?
I
mean
you
can
have
no
you're
supposed
to
have
no
trash
because
there's
no
natural
amount
that
would
be
in
the
environment.
L
L
However,
I
guess
I
haven't,
I
haven't
thought
about
adding
it
independent
of
a
state
standard
into
our
stormwater
management
program.
M
Thank
you.
I
appreciate
that
and
that's
really
helpful
and
I'd
love
for
us
to
think
about
how
we
could
do
that.
You
know
we
have
other
standards
and
even
aspirational
goals
right,
like
vision,
zero
and
to
me
we
should
have
a
goal
that
there's
zero
trash
flowing
into
any
of
our
lakes
or
streams,
and
certainly
from
city
infrastructure
such
as
our
our
storm
water
pipes
and
system.
M
Obviously,
lake
hiawatha
is
a
more
complicated
history
around.
What's
going
on
right
now
in
the
the
relationship
with
the
park
board,
you
know
for
my
colleagues,
this
is
located
in
ward
12
and
ever
since
2013,
when
the
golf
course
at
lake
hiawatha
was
damaged
during
flooding,
and
the
park
board
discovered
that
there
was
groundwater
being
pumped
in
a
magnitude
of
excess
beyond
the
dnr
permit.
M
There
was
a
process
put
in
place
to
really
figure
out
what
the
future
of
of
this
park
looks
like
and
what
the
land
use
is
and
how
that
can
be
compatible
with
good
practice
ecologically
and
for
our
environment
and
still
maintaining
recreational
use
on
the
site
and
the
city
of
minneapolis,
as
we
interface
with
this
is
really
around
stormwater
infrastructure
and
our
pipes
flowing
into
lake
hiawatha,
and
I
know
that
as
a
city
we've
been
eager
to
upgrade
our
infrastructure
and
fix
it
so
that
it
can
be
more
responsible
in
terms
of
how
it
is
displacing
storm
water
into
the
lake,
and
so
we
can
have
natural,
catchments
and
biofiltration,
and
all
of
that
as
a
part
of
this-
and
I
know
that
there's
been
a
multi-year
process
from
the
park
and
recreation
board
around
a
master
plan.
M
It
was
derailed
at
the
park
board.
Do
it
to
a
technicality
around
renaming.
As
my
understanding,
I
believe
it's
going
to
be
back
up
soon
before
the
park
board.
I
certainly
hope
that
they
don't
start
over.
I
I
think
that
you
know
it's
always
hard
when
you
have
different
interests
on
in
a
particular
site,
and
I
know
some
people
want
to
keep
it
18
holes
of
golf.
Some
people
want
zero
golf
with
the
site.
M
They've
come
up
with
a
compromise
of
of
nine
holes
at
the
site,
and
certainly
our
interest
as
a
city
is
around
this
infrastructure
component
of
it
and
fixing
the
infrastructure
so
that
it's
it's
displacing
that
water
responsibly,
as
well
as
making
sure
that
the
homeowners
around
there
continue
to
have
as
much
protection
as
possible
when
it
comes
to
preventing
of
flooding.
And
so
those
are
components
that
are
within
the
city's
purview
and
we
think
those
are
pieces
that
are
addressed
through
their
master
plan
and
so
I'm
continuing
to
work
with
them.
M
I
know
we
have
conversations,
I
believe,
even
a
conversation
later
today
with
the
park
board
around
these
kind
of
pieces.
M
But
it's
it's
important
stuff
because
we
shouldn't
be
treating
this
as
a
giant
drag
net
for
our
city
streets,
where
you
know
if
if
a
person
was
to
litter
onto
the
street
and
throw
a
bottle
cap
down,
unless
it's
either
going
to
be
picked
up
by
somebody,
it's
going
to
be
swept
up
during
spring
or
fall
sweeping
or
it's
going
to
end
up
in
lake
hiawatha
and
that's
true
for
more
than
12
miles
of
city
streets.
M
And
so
it's
a
it's
a
really
important
issue
and
I'd
love
to
see
us
develop
some
standards
here
around
this.
I
understand
it's.
It's
not
something
that's
necessarily
widely
in
practice,
but
both
from
an
aspirational
standpoint
and
a
practical
standpoint.
It
would
be
great
if
we
could
I'm
working
in
that
direction.
So
I'd
love
to
work
with
him
stout
on
that
and
figure
out.
If
that's
something
we
could
implement
here
and
then
just
gotta
give
a
huge
thanks
to
the
friends
of
lake
hiawatha
and
sean
connady
for
all
their
work.
M
Over
the
years
you
know
I
mean
they've
literally
picked
up
tons
tons
of
trash.
I've
seen
the
videos
of
trash
just
openly
flowing
into
lake
hiawatha,
and
it's
it's
a
huge
concern
for
the
health
of
the
lake
for
the
health
of
the
wildlife
in
the
area
for
the
usability
of
the
lake
for
residents,
and
we
know
it
doesn't
just
end
at
lake
hiawatha.
It
flows
into
mia
a
creek.
It
flows
in
the
mississippi.
It
flows
down
into
the
gulf
of
mexico,
and
so
it's
all
interconnected.
M
Our
system-
and
you
know
one
of
the
things
we
value
here
so
much
in
the
land
of
ten
thousand
lakes,
is
our
our
water
system.
And
so
you
know,
friends
of
the
lake.
Hiawatha
and
sean
have
been
drawing
attention
in
the
spotlight
to
this
environmental
injustice
that's
happening,
and
you
know.
I
think
that
we
need
to
get
this
finally
fixed
at
lake
hiawatha
and
across
the
city,
where
we
have
infrastructure
interfacing
with
our
waterways.
J
C
E
Thank
you,
chair
liz,
elizabeth
water
resources.
Regulatory
manager
will
present
this
item.
I
just
want
to
note
this
is
something
that
is
a,
I
think,
a
very
successful
example
of
a
environmental
program.
The
city
started
in
my
in
kind
of
during
my
time
here,
and
it
was
time
for
some
update
and
I
just
want
to
recognize
tremendous
work
and
thought
by
stephanie
johnson
and
by
ms
stout
as
they
updated
this
program.
Thank
you.
C
L
Thank
you
and
well.
Thank
you
again
for
having
me
today
at
the
the
committee
hearing
again,
I'm
liz
stout,
I'm
the
city's
water
resources
manager
and
today,
I'm
here
to
present
suggested
updates
to
the
city,
stormwater
utility
credit
program,
and
I
did
have
some
slides,
hoping
we
can
alright.
If
we
can
go
to
the
next
one.
L
The
stormwater
utility
was
originally
implemented
in
2004.
It
was
implemented
to
fund
necessary
construction,
maintenance
and
repair
of
the
city's
storm
sewer
system.
The
utility
amount
charged
to
a
property
owner
is
based
on
the
size
of
the
property
and
on
the
square
footage
the
amount
of
impervious
surface
on
the
property.
L
At
the
time
the
utility
was
introduced,
there
was
a
desire
to
provide
a
mechanism
to
incentivize
property
owners
to
implement
stormwater
practices
that
would
improve
water
quality.
This
led
to
the
creation
of
the
stormwater
utility
credit
program.
L
The
existing
credit
program
allows
for
credits
off
of
a
utility
bill
for
both
improving
water
quality
and
for
reducing
the
quantity
of
runoff
from
a
property.
Next
slide,
please,
when
beginning
to
look
at
updates
to
the
utility
credit
program
staff
developed
some
principles
to
guide
our
program
changes.
L
L
L
City
staff
also
met
independently
with
the
south
side
and
northside
green
zone
councils
to
discuss
and
receive
comments
on
the
possible
program
updates.
These
councils
were
most
interested
in
promoting
urban
greening
and
sustainable
landscaping
in
environmental
injustice
areas
and
simplifying
the
program
so
that
the
application
is
not
a
burden
on
residential
homeowners.
L
Next
slide,
please
the
the
chart
here
you
can
find
a
copy
of
in
your
materials,
but
the
most
significant
changes
to
the
program
are.
We
are
significantly
simplifying
the
credit
program
for
single-family
residential
homeowners,
rather
than
having
nearly
the
same
application
requirements
as
larger
developments,
commercial
industrial
sites.
We
are
going
to
simplify
the
application
process
to
a
single
page
with
just
photo
documentation
and
then
they'll
just
be
a
set
credit
amount
for
those
properties.
L
Then
all
single-family
residential
credits
that
have
been
approved
before
january
1st
2022
will
continue
to
be
allowed
to
retain
their
current
credit
amount
and
standard
as
long
as
they're
current
in
their
their
utility,
so
they're
up
to
date
on
their
utility
bills.
L
L
L
and
we've
been
able
to
incorporate
equity
into
the
program
by
allowing
for
an
additional
credit
of
10
percent
for
implementing
green
infrastructure
within
the
north
side
and
south
side
green
zones.
Green
infrastructure
is
important
within
these
areas,
because
additional
greening
leads
to
helping
with
urban
heat
island
effect.
It
provides
additional
park-like
spaces
and
it
provides
additional
just
air
quality
benefits
of
having
greening
all
commercial
stormwater
utility
credit
holders
that
are
that
are
approved
before
the
implementation
date
of
these
program.
L
We're
also
recommending
that
there
be
a
five-year
recertification
period
for
all
of
the
commercial
credit
holders.
This
means
that
every
five
years
that
the
credit
holder
needs
to
reapply
and
prove
that
their
best
management
practice
continues
to
function.
This
is
really
to
ensure
that
that
ongoing
operation
and
maintenance
is
being
performed,
as
well
as
making
sure
that
the
stormwater
management
practice
that's
put
into
place
to
get
the
credit
is
continuing
to
function.
L
Thank
you
for
your
time
this
afternoon
and
I
welcome
any
comments,
questions
or
feedback
on
these
program
updates
that
we're
looking
to
bring
forward.
Thank
you.
C
Thank
you
any
questions
or
comments
per
the
staff
presentation
in
discussion
ahead
of
joining.
C
Not
seen
any,
I
will
comment
by
first.
Thank
you
for
all
this
work.
I
I
will
note
that
there
are
several
people.
I
think
director
jelly
commented
how
earlier
in
his
minneapolis
career,
was
working
on
some
of
the
baseline
policies
that
we're
working
from.
I
will
note
that
our
colleague,
councilman
goodman,
was
also
a
maker
during
that
time
and
took
great
interest,
and
even
though
not
on
the
this
committee
shared
her,
you
know
sort
of
interest
and
insights
actually
from
where
the
baseline
policy
came
from
and
was
eager
to
participate.
C
As
we
move
forward
with
this,
and
of
course,
we
move
forward
not
just
to
do
a
revamp
of
a
program
to
make
it
function
better,
but
to
make
it
comport
and
advance
broader
city
goals
as
a
mechanism
to
achieve
goals
that
sometimes
might
not
be
thought
of
in
this
area,
particularly
around
environment.
C
Big
topic,
lots
of
components
sometimes
seem
overwhelming
in
its
scope,
but
here
we
have
a
concrete
wind.
Where
we're
adjusting
to
meet
some
of
those
objectives.
We
should
be
our
storm
water
management
system,
which
is
an
important
invest
system
of
which,
if
you
do
it
right,
the
impacts
can
be
quite
positive
and
noticeable,
and
I
think
this
puts
us
in
that
direction.
So
pretty
exciting
stuff.
From
my
perspective,
and
and
thank
you
for
all
this
background
work,
this
is
a
discussion
item.
Anyone
else
wish
to
make
comment
before
I
move
approval
of
the
update.
C
C
That
is
approved
and
will
be
forwarded
to
full
council
again,
thank
you
for
the
presentation
and
all
the
work
that
went
behind
it.
If
we
have
concluded
the
business
which
we
have
and
if
there's
no
objection
from
committee
members,
I
will
declare
this
meeting
adjourned
and
thank
everyone
who.
