E
B
B
F
This
amendment
to
the
housing
code
further
aligns
this
work
and
eliminates
the
requirement
for
one
related
family
per
dwelling
by
changing
the
definition
of
family
to
a
household
intending
to
live
together
long
term.
The
physical
space
requirements
currently
in
the
housing
codes,
such
as
the
maximum
number
of
people
per
bedroom,
will
continue
to
apply.
This
update
seeks
to
have
occupancy,
be
more
inclusive
to
the
many
household
types
that
live
together
and
allow
non-related
people
the
same
renting
rights
as
families.
F
This
is
especially
significant
for
low-income
residents
or
populations
at
risk
of
housing
and
stability,
or
those
are
a
housing
cost
burdened.
It
also
acknowledges
a
reality
of
the
city's
housing
stock,
older
properties
with
small
bedrooms
and
few
three
and
four
bedroom
properties
available
for
low-income
residents.
Lastly,
this
change
simplifies
the
enforcement
process
for
both
residents
and
inspectors.
B
B
B
B
G
Thanks,
madam
chair,
you
know
this
topic
was
once
subjective
a
lot
more
discussion.
I
think
we've
worked
through
a
lot
of
the
details,
and
so
now
it's
a
relatively
non-controversial
item.
I
just
wanted
to
thank
staff.
Who've
been
working
on
this
for
a
number
of
years,
going
back
to
last
term,
as
staff
mentioned,
it
was
part
of
the
conversations
and
around
fair
housing,
and
just
thank
you
as
well,
madam
chair,
for
for
facilitating
this
coming
forward.
G
This
is
you
know
again,
a
relatively
small
change
at
this
point,
but
part
of
a
package
of
policies
that
we've
been
pursuing
to
make
our
housing
in
minneapolis,
more
resilient
and
more
accessible
for
all
people,
and
our
current
policies
are
outdated.
They
are
restrictive.
G
They
do
not
reflect
the
reality
of
who
lives
together
today
and
they're,
really
based
on
an
outdated
notion
of
of
family,
and
you
know
the
standing
of
people
who
are
related
to
each
other
versus
everyone
else
to
be
able
to
live
together.
So
I'm
proud
of
the
work
that
we
are
doing
to
remove
all
of
the
different
ways
that
we
have
seen:
discrimination
or
lack
of
equity
in
our
housing
policies,
and
this
is
one
example
of
that
package
of
reforms.
So
thanks
again
to
everyone
who's
been
involved
in
for
the
support.
B
H
C
E
B
I
Hi
good
afternoon,
chair
goodman
and
committee
members,
I'm
nick
mcgreno
from
regulatory
services
here
to
talk
about
changes
to
the
administrative
hearing
process,
which
is
chapter
two
of
the
code
of
ordinances.
These
changes
are
mostly
sort
of
housekeeping
and
administrative
issues.
Things
like
changing
the
phrase
tape
record
to
audio
record,
adding
some
flexibility
with
the
designees.
I
Changing
words
like
will
to
shall
some
of
the
things
that
are
more
substantive.
We
did
add
a
specific
process
for
requesting
a
subpoena
at
an
administrative
hearing.
Previously
it
was
pretty
open-ended
how
that
was
actually
supposed
to
work,
and
so
we
added
some
some
dates
and
some
roles
and
responsibilities
for
different
people
who
would
be
involved
in
that.
We
also
added
some
deadlines
and
dates,
which
would
mostly
be
accountability
for
the
city.
I
So
if
we
receive
an
appeal,
we
would
have
to
set
a
hearing
within
a
certain
amount
of
time
and
after
the
hearing,
we'd
have
to
give
notice
of
the
decision
within
a
certain
amount
of
time.
We
also
fleshed
out
the
process
by
which
people
have
special
assessment
hearings
that
was
sort
of
open-ended
previously
in
the
ordinance,
and
we
wanted
to
codify
that
so
that
we
actually
had
kind
of
a
whole
process
outlined.
It
hasn't
been
a
problem
in
the
past.
I
We've
maintained
our
perfect
district
court
record
for
that
type
of
appeal,
but
we
didn't
think
that
it
made
sense
to
to
add
some
specificity
into
the
ordinance
so
that
if
we
ever
got
questions
about
what
we
were
doing,
we
could
say
that
that
was
in
chapter
two.
I'm
happy
to
stand
for
any
questions
that
you
might
have.
B
Thank
you,
mr
marino,
for
all
of
that
work.
I
know
it's
not
the
most
glamorous
work,
but
it's
definitely
an
improvement
to
how
we
work
in
the
city.
So
thank
you
and
we'll
see
if
there
are
any
questions
on
your
report,
seeing
none
I'm
going
to
open
the
public
hearing
on
item
number
two
and
see
if
there's
anyone
here
to
speak
to
this
issue,.
B
D
E
E
B
J
Today
we
are
making
two
amendments
to
the
animal
control
control
code.
First,
we
are
closing
a
gap
on
our
like
lifetime.
Permit
pet
licenses
are
required
starting
at
four
months,
and
currently
we
require
cats
and
dogs
to
be
spayed
and
new,
spayed
or
neutered
before
they
can
receive
a
lifetime
license
in
order
to
eliminate
a
possible
gap
for
some
pets
that
may
be
spayed
or
neutered
later,
this
update
allows
for
a
provisionary
license
until
the
time
of
spaying
or
neutering,
the
cost
of
which
can
be
applied
towards
the
lifetime
license.
J
J
This
has
been
a
successful
process
as
it
provides
constituents
an
opportunity
to
avoid
kindling
fees,
especially
helpful
for
low-income
constituents,
while
improving
community
relations
and
ensuring
better
compliance
with
our
rabies
procedures.
We're
also
updating
references
to
the
current
rabies
authorities
in
minnesota.
This
concludes
my
presentation
and
I
can
stand
for.
Questions
are.
E
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
this,
like
the
other
ordinance,
I
want
to
thank
staff
for
all
their
work
on
this
and
I'd
like
to
move
this
forward
for
approval.
I
A
C
K
Good
afternoon
madam
sharon
and
council
members,
I'm
beth
grossen
senior
project
coordinator
in
cpad
business
development,
the
border
avenue
extension
redevelopment
plan
has
been
prepared
to
improve
multimodal
circulation
and
redevelopment
in
an
area
near
the
minneapolis
farmers
market
and
the
future
royalston
southwest
light
rail
station
planning
documents
for
this
area
have
long
recommended
extending
border
avenue
south
from
holden
street
to
glenwood
avenue
to
help
bring
back
the
street
grid.
The
border
avenue
extension
project
would
secure
a
60-foot
right-of-way
for
a
new
street
sidewalks
pedestrian
lighting
and
possible
bikeway.
K
The
boundary
map
shown
shows
the
larger
property
holdings
of
the
three
impacted
owners.
Anapan
county's
tod
program
awarded
funds
in
2020
to
help
pay
for
the
acquisition
of
right-of-way
for
the
border
avenue
extension.
The
county
tod
program
requires
the
properties
to
be
acquired
to
be
within
a
redevelopment
project
area
to
satisfy
this
requirement.
City
staff
prepared
the
border
plan.
K
B
Item
number
four
has
been
moved
for
approval
by
council
member
ellison.
Are
there
further
comments
or
questions
seeing
none
I'd.
Please
ask
the
clerk
to
call
the
role.
D
E
B
L
Thank
you
good
afternoon,
chair
goodman
and
committee
members,
I'm
emily
stern
with
cpa
business
development.
The
recommendation
before
you
today
is
for
approval
of
the
baldwin
square
redevelopment
plan.
The
baldwin
square
plan
was
prepared
to
facilitate
neighborhood
commercial
transit,
oriented
and
sustainable
development
and
to
create
neighborhood
employment
opportunities
in
the
area
around
42nd
and
fremont
avenue
north.
L
So
just
very
briefly
as
background
in
2020,
ideal
development
group,
the
developer
of
the
baldwin
square
project
secured
funding
through
the
hennepin
county
transit,
oriented
development
program
to
pay
for
redevelopment
costs
associated
with
these
properties
located
within
the
project
boundary.
On
the
map,
redevelopment
plans
for
the
site
include
re
rehab
of
two
existing
buildings
and
new
construction,
which
will
create
over
24
000
square
feet
of
neighborhood
commercial
space
for
restaurant
retail
and
office
uses.
L
On
march
22nd,
the
minneapolis
planning
commission
reviewed
the
baldwin
square
plan
and
the
modification
to
the
common
project
related
to
the
plan
and
found
them
to
be
consistent
with
minneapolis
2040
and
to
date,
no
public
comments
ever
have
been
received
on
either
of
these
plans.
Thank
you
for
your
consideration
and
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
B
Five,
seeing
none
thank
you
for
your
report.
Miss
stern,
we'll,
go
ahead
and
open
the
public
hearing
on
item
number
five,
and
I
see
that
andrew
mcglory
is
on
the
line
to
speak.
Mr
mcglory.
Welcome
to
the
meeting
the
public
hearing
is
open
if
you'd
like
to
make
a
few
comments.
You're
welcome
to
do
so
now.
M
All
right,
jameel
ford
here,
I'm
also
representing
baldwin
square.
I
would
just
like
to
thank
everybody
for
their
continued
support
and
efforts,
both
your
city
council
as
well
as
cped
staff.
M
This
is
a
great
project
and
we
continue
to
have
dialogues
with
the
community
organization
as
well
as
any
other
interested
individuals
that
have
any
questions
or
concerns
for
this
project.
Thank
you
much.
B
Thank
you,
mr
ford,
for
being
here
today.
I
appreciate
you
have
your
camera
on
as
well
is,
is
mr
mcglory
here
and
does
he
would?
Would
he
like
to
speak?
Is
he
part
of
your
team,
sir.
B
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
once
again
really
honored
to
move
this
item
for
approval
excited
about
this
project.
B
Thank
you,
council,
member
allison.
We
will
on
council
member
ellison's
motion
I'll,
ask
the
clerk
to
please
call
the
roll.
D
E
B
That
carries
in
the
motion
is
approved
with
that
we'll
move
to
our
next
public
hearing,
which
is
the
zoning
board
of
adjustment
appointments,
and
I
would
ask
mr
ellis
to
please
give
that
report.
H
Thank
you,
chair
goodman,
council
members,
I'd.
I
just
like
to
say
a
couple
of
words
here
and
just
give
a
little
bit
of
a
background
on
some
of
the
reappointments
and
then
the
new
appointment
that
we
have
going
forward.
As
recommended,
we
have
matt
perry,
who
is
the
current
chair
and
has
served
on
the
board
for
over
a
decade?
H
He's
an
I.t
consultant
and
he's
been
very
good
about
running
meetings,
giving
everybody
the
opportunity
to
speak
and
be
heard
by
the
board
so
that
when
people
are
before
the
board,
they
get
a
chance
to
be
heard
and
have
their
opinions
known,
jacob,
softly
or
jake.
Softley
is
an
attorney
and
he
is
the
current
vice
chair.
He
has
served
the
board
for
years
as
well
and
he's
been
able
to
provide
good
legal
insight
for
the
board
during
their
deliberations
when
making
a
land
use
decision.
H
Taylor
s
makes
nicaragua
has
served
one
term
for
the
board
and
is
volunteering
for
her
second
now
she
has
a
background
in
architecture
and
real
estate
development
and
currently
works
for
seward
redesign
and
then
finally,
we
have
a
new
appointment,
because
one
of
the
board
members
had
to
step
down
for
family
reasons.
Her
name
would
be
is
jasmine.
H
B
E
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I'm
happy
to
move
this
item
forward
and
move
these
appointees
to
the
board
of
adjustments.
A
E
B
That
item
that
carries-
and
the
motion
is
approved,
we'll
now
move
on
to
our
quasi-judicial
public
hearing,
which
is
item
number
seven.
This
is
a
variance
appeal
by
anthony
bender
on
behalf
of
reef
kitchens.
This
item
was
continued
from
a
previous
meeting
and
subsequently
the
applicant
has
withdrawn
their
appeal.
I'm
going
to
proceed
to
open
the
public
hearing
and
ask
if
there
are
any.
If
there's
anyone
in
queue
on
the
item
and
then
I
will
move
to
withdraw
the
appeal
after
the
public
hearing.
Are
there
any?
B
D
C
B
That
motion
is
withdrawn
then,
and
that
passes
so
we'll
then
move
on
to
our
two
discussion
items,
starting
with
item
number
23..
This
is
a
receive
and
file
presentation
on
the
2021
emergency
rental
assistance
program,
we're
very
happy
to
have
katie,
tapinka
and
her
team
here
today.
It's
very
important
that
everyone
on
the
council
and
as
many
people
as
possible,
actually
really
know
about,
what's
happening
with
rental
assistance,
because
each
and
every
one
of
us
can
be
helpful
in
getting
the
information
out.
N
Thank
you,
chair
goodman
and
committee
members.
I'm
katie
topinka,
the
housing
policy
coordinator
at
cped
and

jamie
radel,
who
is
a
senior
project
coordinator
with
cpet
housing.
Who
is
we
are
working
together
on
getting
this
program
up
and
running
so
next
slide.
Please,
we
are
going
to
give
an
overview
of
the
minneapolis
covet
emergency
rental
assistance
program.
N
Here's
a
brief
overview
of
our
presentation,
we're
going
to
talk
a
bit
about
what
we
learned
from
the
gap
funds
for
housing
program
last
year
and
how
that's
informing
the
work
for
this
program,
some
of
our
outreach
strategies
and
then
the
the
eligibility
requirements
and
and
how
to
prepare
to
apply
for
these
funds.
The
state
of
minnesota
received
375
million
dollars
in
emergency
rental
assistance
funds
from
the
coronavirus
relief
package
that
was
passed
by
congress
at
the
end
of
2020.
N
Of
that
total
minneapolis
received
a
direct
allocation
of
12.8
million
dollars
all
cities
or
counties
with
a
population
of
over
200
000
people
were
eligible
to
receive
direct
allocations.
So
we
did
opt
to
receive
that,
as
did
many
of
our
neighboring
jurisdictions
in
the
metro
area.
There
was
another
round
of
emergency
rental
assistance
included
in
the
american
rescue
act.
That
was
just
recently
passed,
so
we
do
anticipate
receiving
another
9
to
11
million
dollars
of
funds
for
the
city
of
minneapolis,
for
our
renters
for
emergency
rental
assistance.
N
It
can
also
be
used
to
pay
up
to
three
months
of
prospective
rent
for
up
to
12
months
of
assistance
and
that
prospective
rent
can
be
extended
for
an
additional
three
months.
If
there
is
funding
available,
we
are
working
very
closely
with
our
jurisdictional
partners
in
the
metro
area
and
with
the
state
of
minnesota
and
with
trusted
community
organizations
to
set
up
a
system
to
to
get
these
funds
out
out
as
soon
as
we
can
so
next
slide.
Please.
N
There
is
a
link
in
the
rca
on
this
agenda
item
to
our
publicly
available
dashboard.
That
has
more
information
about
the
results
of
that
program
and
we
are
going
to
have
a
full
reporting
of
that
program
later
this
year.
But
we
wanted
to
raise
it
here
in
this
presentation
because
we
learned
a
lot
from
that
program.
That's
helping
inform
how
we're
designing
this
current.
N
This
new
emergency
rental
assistance
program
and
those
lessons
are
highlighted
here
on
this
slide,
which
are
that
there
is
a
need
for
a
one-stop
application
for
assistance
across
jurisdictions
and
I'll
go
into
that
more
of
that
on
the
next
slide.
But
basically,
last
year
there
were
a
number
of
different
programs
available
at
the
same
time
that
provided
emergency
rental
assistance.
N
So
I
will
go
into
more
detail
about
how
we're
building
on
these
lessons
in
the
next
slide.
So
next
slide,
please.
N
So,
as
I
mentioned
already,
we
are
collaborating
with
the
state
of
minnesota
and
the
other
local
jurisdictions
that
receive
direct
allocations
of
funds
to
try
to
create
one
application,
and
this
will
be
a
web-based
application
with,
if
not
identical,
then
very
closely
aligned
requirements
for
the
program,
and
this
application
will
also
have
a
way
for
both
people
who
are
processing
the
applications
and
applicants
themselves
to
check
on
the
status
of
their
applications.
So
that
gets
at
that
lesson
learned
I
mentioned
in
the
last
slide.
N
The
other.
The
next
bullet
here
is
that
we
are
working
with
trusted
local
partners
to
administer
our
program.
So
we
found
in
the
gap
funds
program
that
it
was
very
important
to
have
these
local
administrators
working
with
community
to
help
people
navigate
the
application
process.
N
Our
the
role
of
the
processors
is
to
help
ensure
that
applicants
can
successfully
complete
their
applications,
as
well
as
to
review
them
and
process
payments.
We
have
selected
five
local
processors
to
run
our
tenant-based
application
program,
and
then
we
also
selected
a
processor
for
the
landlord-based
application
which
I'll
talk
about
shortly
for
the
tenant
program.
N
We
are
working
with
northpointe
health
and
wellness
new
american
development
center
comunidades,
latinas,
unidas
and
cervicios,
or
clues
lutheran
social
service
and
minneapolis
public
housing
authority,
and
each
of
these
organizations
has
a
different
specialty
or
focus,
whether
it
be
a
geographic
area
or
working
with
specific
people
who
speak
certain
languages
or
from
certain
cultural
communities.
And
so
we
are
working
closely
with
them
to
make
sure
that
we
can
reach
as
many
of
our
residents
as
possible
with
this
program,
and
then
I
mentioned
that
we're
working
with
mpha
as
well.
N
One
important
distinction
from
this
with
this
program
from
the
programs
that
were
available
last
year
is
that
recipients
of
housing,
choice,
vouchers
and
public
housing
residents
are
eligible
to
receive
assistance.
N
That
was
not
the
case
in
previous
programs,
and
so
they
are
eligible
to
receive
assistance
for
the
tenant-based
portion
of
their
rent,
not
for
the
portion
that
that
mpha
is
covering,
and
so
we
will
be
partnering
with
mpha
to
make
sure
that
they
can
get
that
information
out
to
housing,
choice,
voucher
holders,
and
we
that
is
a
really
important
change
from
last
year,
because
we
know
there
were
a
lot
of
people
receiving
rental
assistance
who
were
in
need
of
assistance
and
were
not
able
to
get
it.
N
And
then
I
mentioned
that
under
this
program
and
under
the
the
federal
requirements,
tenants
can
apply
directly
for
assistance.
That
assistance
does
need
to
go
to
their
landlord,
with
an
exception,
which
is
that
if
a
landlord
is
not
cooperating,
then
the
assistance
can
go
directly
to
a
tenant.
Landlords
can
also
apply
on
behalf
of
their
tenants.
They
do
have
to
get
permission
from
their
tenants
to
do
so,
but
they
can
do
that.
N
So
with
that
in
mind,
we
have
also
partnered
with
our
several
other
local
jurisdictions,
which
include
hennepin,
county
ramsey,
county
dakota,
county
and
the
city
of
saint
paul
to
jointly
select
an
administrator
to
process
landlord-based
applications.
That
administrator
is
a
family
housing
fund
who
is
partnering
with
housing,
link
and
clifton
larson-allen,
and
they
will
be
administering
landlord-based
applications
and
assisting
landlords
to
to
get
payments
of
back
rent
made
on
their
behalf
as
well.
N
The
third
bullet
here
we
are
issuing
an
rfp
jointly
with
hennepin
county,
to
hire
housing
assistance
navigators
to
provide
additional
support
to
applicants.
So
this
will
be
going
out
very
shortly
to
community-based
organizations
who
we
will
hire
using
community
development.
Block,
grant
coveted
relief
funds
to
provide
even
more
support
to
our
community
members
to
help
them
successfully
apply
for
funds
under
this
program.
N
And
then
we
are
coordinating
very
closely
with
the
state
and
hennepin
county
on
a
waterfall
approach
to
processing
applications,
and
this
gets
at
the
lesson
learned
from
last
time
of
trying
to
minimize
wait
time
between
when
somebody
applies
and
when
their
application
is
approved.
So
both
the
state's
portion
of
funds
and
hennepin
county's
direct
allocation
of
funds
can
also
be
used
to
serve
minneapolis
residents.
N
And
so
we
are
working
to
coordinate
together
to
manage
the
workflow
among
our
processors
and
then
the
state
and
hennepin
county's
processors,
so
that
if
one
processor
is
sort
of
at
the
maximum
number
of
applications
that
they
can
process
for
a
given
period
of
time
will
reroute
the
applications
to
hennepin
county
or
the
state
and
we're
hoping
that
will
really
help
run.
This
program
efficiently,
I
did
want
to
note
here
that
hennepin
county
did
launch
an
early
sprint
where
they
did
make
some
of
their
emergency
rental
assistance
funds
available
for
applicants,
including
minneapolis
residents.
N
They
received
over
30,
almost
3
800
applications
and
almost
2
000
of
those
were
from
minneapolis
residents.
That
early
sprint
is
now
closed
and
they
are
processing
those
applications.
We
accepted
a
small
number
of
those
applications
to
for
our
minneapolis
processors
to
to
process,
and
they
are
currently
doing
that,
but
we
have
so
next
slide.
Please.
N
N
So
I'm
going
to
close
out
my
part
of
this
presentation
here,
just
talking
a
little
bit
about
some
of
our
outreach
strategies
and
and
then
other
policy
initiatives
we're
working
on
before.
I
turn
it
over
to
jamie
to
talk
about
the
eligibility
requirements
and
how
to
get
ready
to
apply.
So
we
are
anticipating
a
statewide
program
launch
for
for
the
emergency
rental
assistance
program
in
about
mid
april,
and
we
will
certainly
be
getting
the
word
out
when
that
date
is
finalized.
We
are
working
with
our
partners
to
finalize
a
launch
date.
N
There
will
be
a
number
of
outreach
efforts
through
social
media,
the
city
website.
We
are
going
to
partner
with
ncr
to
get
the
word
out
through
our
cultural
radio
programs.
There
will
be
a
state.
We
will
also
be
partnering
with
regulatory
services
to
do
outreach
to
property
owners
through
the
rental
licensing
system
and
also
with
our
4d
participants,
to
get
the
word
out
to
those
property
owners
in
our
city's
4-d
program.
N
We
also
plan
to
coordinate
with
the
health
department
to
provide
information
at
other
community
events
like
vaccination
sites
or
food
distribution
sites.
There
will
be
a
state-led
outreach
campaign
and
kickoff
event
when
the
program
is
ready
to
launch,
and
there
is
a
centralized
website
that
we
will
all
be
referring.
Applicants
to
it's
renthelpmn.org.
N
That
is
the
link
to
it
here
in
the
powerpoint,
and
currently
the
site
is
live.
It
has
information
about
how
to
prepare
to
apply
and
it
will
include
the
link
to
the
application
when
that
is
up
and
running,
and
then
just
wanted
to
note
here
that
we
are
currently
still
under
the
eviction
moratorium
that
has
been
in
place
since
march
of
last
year.
The
state
moratorium
is
has
been
extended
most
recently
through
april
13th,
and
they
have
the
eviction.
N
Moratorium
has
been
extended
up
to
this
point,
each
time
that
the
the
governor's
peacetime
emergency
powers
have
been
extended.
The
federal
eviction
moratorium
was
also
just
extended
through
june.
30Th
staff
are
working
on
ordinances
that
were
introduced
in
february
that
include
just
cause
and
eviction
pre-filing
policies.
N
We
are
planning
to
bring
those
forward
for
public
hearing
and
council
consideration
in
may
and
we
will
be
giving
a
more
detailed
overview
of
the
goals
of
those
policies
at
pogo
on
april
14th,
but
just
wanted
to
mention
those
here
as
we're
talking
about
eviction
prevention,
and
then
I
just
also
wanted
to
remind
you
that
we
last
year
provided
additional
funding
to
legal
aid
for
eviction
representation.
N
We
have
a
1.2
million
contract
through
quarter,
one
of
2022
to
provide
eviction,
representation,
services
and
that's
also
in
anticipation
and
supporting
all
of
the
efforts
around
eviction
prevention.
So
quickly
we're
wrapping
up
here.
But
jamie
radel
is
just
going
to
talk
quickly
about
the
basic
eligibility
requirements
and
how
to
get
ready
to
apply
for
this
program.
B
Okay,
before
we
do
that,
maybe
we'll
see
if
there
are
questions
or
comments
on
the
bulk
of
the
report.
I
have
two
while
everyone
else
is
determining
if
they
have
questions
or
comments.
Just
my
first
comment
is
thank
you
for
everything.
You're
doing,
I'm
wondering
if
all
of
this
information
in
a
helpful
way
could
be
put
into
a
one-page
document
that
council
members
could
put
out
in
their
newsletters
and
get
out
at
community
meetings
and
share
as
well
just
so
we
could
be
part
of
explaining
how
people
can
move
this
forward.
B
Maybe
it
can
just
be
a
redo
of
part
of
these
slides
and
then
my
second
question
has
to
do.
I'm
on
the
family.
Housing
fun
board.
So
I
know
a
little
bit
about
the
family
housing
funds
work
in
this
regard.
I've
heard
from
many
landlords
that
they
can't
get
the
tenants
to
agree
to
file
for
some
sort
of
help
and
that
the
reason
for
this
is
because
they
know
they
can't
be
evicted
anyway.
So
they
don't
want
to
be
bothered.
B
I'm
wondering
if
we're
finding
truth
to
that
and
or
how
we
can
assist
in
making
sure
that
that
does
not
happen.
This
was
a
policy.
That's
supposed
to
help
everybody.
You
know
all
boats
rise
and
what
happens
if
a
tenant
says?
Well,
I'm
just
not
going
to
give
you
the
information
you
need
in
order
to
get
rent
assistance,
because
there's
no
downside
for
me.
Can
you
speak
to
that?
B
N
Sure,
thanks
councilmember
goodman
to
your
first
question.
Yes,
we
can
definitely.
We
are
working
with
our
marketing
and
communications
teams
to
get
this
into
different
formats
for
council
offices
to
be
able
to
share.
So
we
will
definitely
get
that
information
to
you
in
terms
of
the
question
about
whether
there's
a
way
for
assistance
if
the
tenants
do
not
cooperate
so
the
the
the
statutory
language-
and
I
might
have
jamie
chime
in
here
too,
if
I'm
not
getting
this
quite
right,
but
it
does
on
the
federal.
N
N
We
may
need
to
really
focus
on
marketing
communication
and
and
getting
the
word
out
to
tenants
that
that,
although
there
is
an
eviction,
moratorium
rent
still
needs
to
be
paid
and
the
moratorium
will
end
at
some
point,
which
is
why
it's
even
more
critical
to
get
caught
up
on
rent.
N
So
I
think
the
the
reason
we're
using
both
strategies
to
have
a
landlord-based
application
and
a
tenant-based
application
is
that
our
hope
is
that
that
will
reach
as
many
people
as
possible,
but
but
we
do
still
need
sort
of
landlords
to
agree
to
participate
and
tenants
to
agree
to
participate
to
make
it
successful
jamie.
I
don't
know
if
you
have
anything
to
add
to
that,
but
but
I
I
think
there
are
some.
You
know
still
some
challenges
that
we
have
to
work
on.
B
Is
there
such
a
thing?
I'm
just
curious.
I
maybe
I'm
the
only
one
who's
hearing
this,
but
I've
heard
it
more
than
once.
N
And
councilmember-
maybe
one
other
thing
I
can
add
to
that-
is
that
one
of
our
goals
and-
and
I
think
jamie
will
get
into
this-
is
in
our
it's.
A
shared
goal
across
the
jurisdictions
is
to
try
to
make
the
application
process
itself
as
easy
as
as
possible,
and
so
we
do
have
to
follow
the
treasury
guidelines
that
they're
providing
which
do
require
some
documentation
for
income
eligibility.
N
But
there
are
ways
where
we
can
just
allow
for
written
attestations
so
that
we're
hoping
that
we
don't
have
to
ask
people
to
put
together
as
many
documents
as
before.
So
the
treasury
guidance
does
allow
for
more
flexibility
than
previous
programs
have
had,
and
that's
one
of
the
ways
we're
hoping
we
can
get
more
people
to
be
able
to
to
participate.
B
N
I
can
follow
up
with
you
more
after
the
meeting
as
well,
because
hennepin
county
did
run
a
landlord-based
application
program
last
year
and
I
think
they
found
that
they
were
able
to
successfully
provide
a
lot
of
funding
to
landlords
through
that
process,
and
so
we
can
certainly
get
a
little
bit
more
information
about
the
lessons
they
learned
from
that
to
follow
up
with
you
to
help
fill
in
the
gaps
on
my
answer
here.
B
Thank
you.
Thank
you
so
feel
free
to
councilmember
schroeder.
E
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
wanted
to
you
know,
first
of
all,
thank
staff
for
all
this
great
work
like.
I
really
appreciate
the
approach
of
learning
from
kind
of
what
previous
programs
my
my
question,
because
a
lot
of
this
is
really
gearing
up
for
the
federal
funding,
we're
going
to
see
and
also
the
end
of
the
the
moratorium
on
evictions,
and
I
wanted
to
see
if
you
had
some
kind
of
data
about
how
big
the
problem
is
like
how
many
households
are
you
expecting
to
be.
E
You
know,
be
kind
of
not
be
able
to
pay
rent
when
that
becomes
due
and
kind
of
how
much
what
percentage
of
will
be
taken
care
of
with
these
programs.
N
Thanks,
councilmember
trader,
that's
a
good
question.
Our
current
estimates
are
that,
with
this
program
will
be
with
the
first
round
of
funding
that
we've
received
that
will
be
able
to
serve
about
2500
minneapolis
households.
The
average
assistance
that
hennepin
county
was
providing
in
its
early
sprint
was
about
four
thousand
dollars
per
household.
N
The
need
is
higher
than
that,
but,
as
I
mentioned,
the
state
and
hennepin
county's
funding
can
also
go
to
support
minneapolis
residents,
and
so
I'm
going
to
try
to
I.
I
believe
we
have
some
estimates
of
how
many
households
are
behind.
So
I
will
try
to
make
sure
we
get
that
shortly.
Hopefully,
I
can
get
that
to
you
before
jamie's
done
with
her
part
of
the
presentation.
N
My
fingertips,
I,
what
I
do
know,
though,
is
that,
given
this
first
round
of
funding
that
we've
received
and
the
additional
funding
that
we
will
be
receiving,
we
do
anticipate
that
we
will
be
able
to
meet
a
lot
of
the
need
that
is
out
there.
So
that
is
the
good
news
you
know
I
think,
last
year,
when
we
only
had
three
million
dollars
available
for
gaap
funds,
we
had
to
make
decisions
about.
N
We
knew
it
was
going
to
be
not
enough,
and
so
we
had
to
make
policy
decisions
around
how
to
prioritize
who
should
get
the
funding
and
we're
not
in
that
same
type
of
position
right
now.
We
so
we're
not
doing
things
like
limiting
the
amount
of
back
rent
that
can
be
covered
or
even
limiting
the
ability
to
cover
prospective
rent,
because
we
feel-
and
this
is
true
across
our
jurisdictional
partners
as
well-
feel
pretty
confident
that
this
that
there
is
enough
funding
to
meet
the
nate
that
is
out
there.
B
O
Thanks
chair
goodman
and
committee
members,
I'm
jamie
radel,
I'm
a
senior
project
coordinator
with
cped's
residential
finance
team,
and
I'm
just
going
to
give
you
a
very
brief
overview
of
program,
eligibilities
and
materials
that
residents
can,
where
considering
applying
to
the
program,
should
begin
to
gather
in
preparation
for
that
application.
O
Federal
legislation
established
three
eligibility
requirements
and
those
included
some
type
of
economic
hardship,
our
risk
of
homelessness
or
housing,
instability
and
an
income
requirement.
Economic
hardship
includes
those
who
are
unemployed
or
those
who
have
experienced
a
reduced
income
similar
the
requirements
to
in
the
early
rent
assistance
program,
such
as
the
city
gap
fund
program.
O
We
feel
this
is
an
enhancement
to
this
program,
the
the
hardship
requirement
of
being
unemployed
or
having
a
reduced
income
due
to
cova
19
caused
the
unfortunate
screening
out
of
households
that
were
in
need
of
assistance.
O
In
addition
to
these
requirements,
the
federal
the
federal
program
provided
rules
around
household
prioritization,
so
those
households
who
have
been
unemployed
for
more
than
90
days
at
the
time
of
application
or
or
are
at
50
percent
of
area
of
median
income
or
less
must
be.
Our
prep
need
to
be
prioritized
through
this
program.
O
Next
slide,
please,
our
pro
skating
alluded
to
our
program
is
designed
to
allow
for
self-esteem
wherever
possible,
which
makes
the
apple
application
more
accessible
to
an
additional
number
of
households.
O
Federal
guidelines
are
requiring
documentation
of
income,
with
some
limited
exceptions
and
documentation
of
rent
and
utilities
owed
again,
with
some
unlimited
exceptions
to
help
our
residents
prepare
to
submit
an
application,
they
should
begin
to
gather
needed
documentation
around
income
and
rent
and
utilities,
due
by
far
the
most
efficient
way
that
an
applicant
can
document
their
income
is
by
submitting
their
2020
2020
household,
their
household
2020
federal
tax
returns.
O
If
they
do
such
and
they
come
back
for
a
subsequent
prospective
rent
payments,
the
household
will
not
need
to
redocument
their
income
or
re-income
qualify
at
that
time.
O
If
their
tax
returns
are
unavailable
or
they
do
not
file
taxes,
they
will
need
to
provide
other
forms
of
documentation
a
month
of
pay
stubs
bank
statements
showing
regular
deposits,
social
security,
insurance
payments,
social
security
payments
attestation
from
an
employer,
unemployment
statements
or
an
income
determination
from
another
agency
since
january
1st
of
2020.,
if
you
are
unemployed,
finding
your
the
copy
of
your
uninsu
unemployment
insurance
documentation
will
also
make
it
easier
for
you
to
either
become
part
of
the
prioritization
or
document
that
hardship
that
we
talked
about
as
one
of
the
other
criteria.
O
Rent
in
utilities-
oh
does
another
thing
that
you're
go
that
will
need
to
document
so
finding
their
leases
finding
past
due
notices,
ledgers
attest
or
attestations
from
the
landlord
and
utility
bills
are
going
to
be
very
helpful
for
that.
There
are
options
for
self
attestation
for
income
and
rent
owed,
but
those
are
to
be
used
as
exte
as
exceptions
and
not
as
standard
practice,
and
if
you
have
any
questions
on
that,
I'm
happy
to
answer
those.
B
B
B
I
will
just
note
to
members
of
the
committee
and
other
council
members
that
we
will
be
getting
some
information
that
we
can
use
to
pass
on
to
constituents,
which
I
think
is
going
to
be
really
helpful
as
we
help
participate
in
getting
the
word
out
so
that
we
have
a
proactive
way
to
ensure
that
residents
can
stay
in
their
apartments
we'll,
then
this
is
a
receive
and
file
item,
and
so
I
don't
see
any
discussion
so
I'll
direct
the
clerk
to
receive
and
file
the
report
and
thank
staff.
B
I
know
this
is
a
monumental
effort
and
there
are
dozens
and
dozens
of
city
staff,
members
and
non-profits
working
with
us
to
ensure
that
people
can
stay
in
their
existing
housing
and
we
really
greatly
appreciate
all
of
your
effort
with
that.
We'll
move
to
our
last
discussion
item.
This
is
item
number
24..
B
This
is
approving
program
guidelines
for
a
forgivable
loan
program
at
george
floyd
square,
and
I
will
ask
eric
hanson
if
he
would
like
to
give
this
report.
P
P
Existing
city
programs
are
inadequate
to
address
the
losses,
those
in
the
square
bounded
by
37
to
39th
streets
along
chicago
avenue,
and
between
elliott
and
columbus
avenues
along
east
38th
street,
and
this
program.
The
george
george
floyd
square,
38th
chicago
forgivable
loan
program
proposal
in
front
of
you
provides
economic
development
assistance
to
businesses
in
this
area
in
the
form
of
patient
forgivable
working
capital
funds
on
favorable
terms.
P
Next
slide,
this
program
provides
one-time,
fifty
thousand
dollars
a
fifty
thousand
dollar
loan
interest
free
to
privately
held
businesses,
nonprofits
and
property
owners
for
working
capital
uses
that
can
be
forgiven
if
the
business
or
organization
remains
open
and
in
place
for
one
year,
payments
would
be
required
if
the
borrower
moves
or
sells
unless
the
city
approves
the
buyer.
No
payments
are
due
in
the
first
year
and
the
loan,
and
if
the
loans
are
not
forgiven,
the
borrower
borrower
would
need
to
repay
that
loan
over
the
last
nine
years
of
the
loans
term.
P
These
loans
take
no
collateral
positions.
Next
slide
this
loan
repurposes
a
portion
of
the
city's
budgeted
small
business
loan
pool.
We
expect
around
half
of
that
pool
or
around
a
million
dollars
to
be
used
for
this
program.
The
remaining
balance
would
still
be
available
for
conventional
two
percent
loan,
two
percent
loans
throughout
the
city
and
applicants
of
multiple
properties
or
businesses,
or
those
who
own
both
their
business
and
their
properties,
would
only
be
eligible
for
one
loan
from
this
program.
P
Our
cped
staff
in
business
development
would
service
this
program
and
we
are
currently
developing
an
application
process
and
if
approved,
funds
should
be
available
and
out
to
borrowers
in
about
six
weeks
next
slide.
Please
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
might
have
and
thank
you
for
the
time
today.
B
B
Item
number
eight
has
been
moved
forward
for
approval,
seeing
no
further
comments
or
questions
I'll
ask
the
clerk
to
call
the
roll.
