and
city

as
authorized
under
the
minnesota

law,
section
13
d
.021
due
to
the
declared
state
of
local
public
health
emergency.
I
will
also
note
that
the
city
will
be

F
G
G
B
Thank
you
very
much
I'll.
Let
the
record
reflect
we
have
a
quorum.
I'm
sure
that
my
colleagues
will
be
all
joining
here
shortly.
I
would
also
like
to
note
that
we
have
hopefully
we'll
gonna
we're
gonna
have
a
short
meeting.
B
We
have
a
few
colleagues
who
who
have
to
leave
at
11
for
agenda
setting
council
members,
lisa,
goodman
and
jeremy
schrader
may
have
to
leave
at
11
for
agenda
setting
and
councilmember
johnson
will
have
to
leave
for
the
league
of
minnesota
city's
board
meeting
around
11
as
well.
So
hopefully
we
get
through
all
of
our
business
before
then.
We
have
two
items
on
our
agenda
for
discussion
today,
in
addition
to
reports
of
our
regular
committees
that
have
met
this
cycle.
B
H
Good
morning,
chair
ellison
and
vice
chair
jenkins
and
council
members,
I
am
julie,
wiseman,
I'm
the
finance
director
for
the
minneapolis
park
and
recreation
board.
Before
I
get
started
with
the
report,
I
would
just
like
to
provide
superintendent
balangora's,
sincere
apologies
for
not
being
able
to
be
here
this
morning,
so
myself
and
assistant
superintendent
for
planning
michael
schroeder
will
be
presenting
the
report
to
you
today.
Next
slide,
please.
H
H
H
H
We
are
required
by
ordnance
to
present
our
annual
report.
This
report
covers
the
years
2019
through
2021
next
slide.
Please,
we
are
required
to
dis
report
on
operating
costs.
Npp
20
is
expected
to
improve
efficiencies
and
costs
through
increased
maintenance.
We
will
maximize
the
service
life
of
park
assets
over
time
and
reduce
the
backlog
of
repairs
and
rehabilitation
projects
by
this
reduced
backlog.
H
It
results
in
larger
number
of
park,
assets
that
are
consistently
available
to
the
public
and
we
also
will
be
experiencing
some
cost
savings
from
the
results
of
investments
into
energy
efficient
materials
next
slide,
please
npp
20
included
an
an
injection
of
property
taxes
of
3
million
for
maintenance
and
rehab
activities.
That
was
part
of
our
property
tax
levy,
which
is
increased
by
inflation
each
year
in
2019
and
2020.
H
The
amounts
were
3.3
million
and
3.5
million
respectively,
which
were
both
spent
in
full
and
for
2021
the
amount
is
3.5
million,
the
same
level
as
2020
due
to
covid,
and
our
budget
last
budget
process,
which
had
a
zero
percent
increase
in
our
operating
costs.
Next
slide,
please
for
maintenance.
It
is
about
service
levels,
so
this
chart
shows
that
we
have
met
our
target
service
levels
in
every
area,
except
for
plumbing
services,
and
that
is
directly
related
to
covid
and
outdoor
plumbing
in
2020
being
largely
shut
down
during
the
heat
of
the
pandemic
in
2020.
H
This
annual
minimum
amount
by
ordinance
is
adjusted
every
five
years
that
adjustment
is
due
for
2022
to
2020
and
we
have
been
in
discussions
with
city
staff,
and
we
feel
that
we
are
at
a
place
to
come
forward
with
our
concurrent
resolutions
for
the
adjustment
in
this
next
five
year
period.
H
Next
slide,
please
so.
The
10.5
million
dollars
is
split
between
rehabilitation
and
capital
investments,
and
you
will
see
in
2020
that
we
made
a
coveted
amendment
to
our
capital
improvement
program
because
of
that
pandemic
and
not
being
able
to
meet
in
person
and
instituting
the
virtual
reality
that
is
now.
H
H
I
will
now
turn
the
presentation
over
to
michael
schroeder,
the
assistant
superintendent,
for
planning
who
will
walk
through
the
next
few
slides.
I
Thank
you,
director
weissman.
I
will
walk
through
some
things
on
the
rehabilitation
program
and
the
status
of
that
and
then
do
the
same
for
the
capital
program.
Essentially,
we
set
up
the
mpp
20
rehab
program
to
direct
more
media
attention
to
things
related
to
park
safety
meeting
codes.
I
Importantly,
the
ada
transition
plan
and
we
spent
considerable
dollars
renovating
recreation,
centers
and
particularly
restrooms,
and
access
points
to
meet
ada
requirements.
I
We
had
some
critical
failures
and
buildings
that
were
addressed
through
this
and
we
have
a
process
for
establishing
rehabilitation
process
projects
that
that
includes
an
assessment
and
then
a
prioritization
of
that,
so
that
they
that
actually
doesn't
happen
with
the
equity.
It
happens
on
the
basis
of
immediate
need
and
so
for
an
instance.
In
this
we
had
at
the
beginning
a
a
a
rook
that
was
in
danger
of
collapsing
at
one
of
our
recreation
centers
that
received
immediate
attention
down
to
this
under
under
the
rehabilitation
program.
I
Could
I
have
the
next
slide,
please,
for
for
for
2019
and
2020
I'll
have
slides
that
essentially
share
the
progress
we've
made
in
each
of
the
eight
rehabilitation
categories
what's
important
about
this
is
when
we
look
toward
the
bottom,
we'll
begin
to
see
a
percent
of
the
budget
that's
been
allocated,
and
essentially
the
number
of
projects
that
have
been
completed.
I
We
have
spent
the
dollars
in
most
of
the
rehabilitation
categories
park.
Amenities
is
something
we're
a
bit
behind
on,
because
we
were
continuing
to
do
assessments
in
2019
and
then
you'll
see
as
we
move
forward
into
the
next
slide
when
we
get
into
2020.
I
If
we
can
go
to
the
next
slide,
please
that
that
number
has
has
stayed
about
the
same,
but
we're
about
we're
at
a
point
now
where
we
can
be
directing
more
dollars
to
that
particular
rehabilitation
category.
The
other
ones
that
stand
out
are
the
hvac
systems.
We
are
behind
in
that
because
when
we
start
touching
the
hvac,
it
requires
electrical
improvements.
We
need
to
make
duct
changes
and
the
projects
end
up
getting
more
costly
than
we
might
have
anticipated.
I
The
other
thing
that
we
have
that
we're
behind
on
is
operations
facilities
and
what
we've
been
doing
is
aggregating
those
dollars
into
a
larger
pool,
so
that
we
can
make
a
more
significant
investment
in
upgrading
operations
facilities
for
staff
purposes.
I
If
we
go
to
the
next
slide,
please
you'll
begin
to
see
where
we're
at
so
so
this
was
a
summary
for
2021
that
was
actually
generated,
I
believe
in
in
march
or
april.
So
as
you
can
see
that
we
have
not
made
progress
according
to
this
chart
based
on
that
date.
But
when
we
actually
looked
at
what
we've
done,
we
we
continue
to
make
considerable
improvements
around
the
each
one
of
these,
including
the
the
park,
amenities,
where
we
continue
to
to
look
at
the
assessments
that
will
guide
how
we'll
be
making
improvements.
I
Let
me
have
the
next
slide.
Please,
capital
investments
are
those
things
where
we
are
not
simply
repairing
a
park
asset,
but
we're
actually
reinvesting
in
an
entirely
new
facility.
I
So
for
these
we're
bound
by
our
equity
ordinance
to
look
at
the
parks
ranking
based
on
the
the
the
conditions
in
both
the
park
and
the
neighborhood,
and
then
we
allocate
funds
annually
through
the
capital
improvement
program
based
on
the
highest
rankings,
and
I
think
earlier
one
of
the
slides
noted
that
we
are
through
with
2021
we
would
be
through,
I
think
part
number
44
of
the
160,
some
neighborhood
parts
for
being
five
years
into
the
program.
I
So
we
are,
we
are
largely
on
track
with
where
we
should
be
going
to
the
next
slide,
please
so
this
one's
a
little
bit
harder
to
read,
but
it
essentially
enumerates
the
the
projects
that
were
in
the
2019
capital
improvement
list.
2019.
When
the
doubt
when
the
the
project
start
is
is
when
we
have
the
dollars
available
and
we
begin
a
community
engagement
process,
typically,
the
process
of
improving
a
park
takes
us
at
least
two
years
and
more
likely
three
years.
I
The
first
year
is
really
directed
to
engagement
and
design,
and
then
the
improvements
typically
would
could
start
in
year,
two
and
sometimes
depending
upon
the
types
of
improvements
could
span
into
year
three.
So
here
we
show
that
we
are
we're
more
than
halfway
through
those
capital
investments
in
capital
investment
projects.
So
we
started
in
2019
where
2019
would
have
been
the
engagement
year
and
you
can
see
that
many
of
our
projects
are
actually
fully
complete
or
moving
close
in
that
direction.
I
We
have
some
projects,
I'm
going
to
point
out
like
bryn
mawr
meadows,
which
was
in
the
2019
capital
plan,
but
we
didn't
have
a
master
plan
at
that
time,
so
to
get
started.
The
the
north
service
area
master
plan
was
approved
by
the
board
last
year,
so
we
were
able
now
to
jump
into,
for
instance,
bryn
mawr
meadows
park.
F
Thank
you,
chair,
ellison
and
mr
schroeder.
I,
in
one
of
your
earlier
slides,
you
stated
that
you
were
doing
projects
based
on
immediate
need
and,
and
I
thought
you
said,
abandoning
the
equity
process
and
then
you
said
in
the
later
slide
that
you
guys
were
doing
equity
scoring
on
neighborhood
projects,
neighborhood
park
improvements,
and
so
I'm
I'm
just
curious
how
that's
working
and
then
what
are
the
criteria
that
you
use
in
terms
of
scoring.
I
Those
are
the
ones
that
we
take
on
on
the
basis
of
need
it
would
when
we
were
organizing
this
program,
it
didn't
seem
correct
to
make
a
community
wait
until
their
equity
ranking
put
a
project
in
line
if,
for
instance,
the
roof
was
collapsing
on
their
on
the
recreation
center,
so
rehabilitation
projects
are
based
on
a
prioritization
of
need
and
then
the
capital
projects
use
the
equity
rankings
that
were
identified,
and
I
mentioned
that
there
there
were
both
neighborhood
condition,
rankings
and
park
condition
rankings.
I
Those
are
reassessed
every
year
by
planning
staff
in
association
with
our
asset
management
staff,
where
we
rank
the
conditions
of
of
the
parks.
We've
looked
at.
We
look
at
past
investments
in
the
parks
and
a
total
of
seven
categories,
and
I
probably
will
not
get
them
all,
but
three
of
them
are
neighborhood
based
and
four
are
park-based.
I
So
we
look
at
neighborhood
population,
the
demographics
in
the
neighborhood,
the
number
of
children
in
the
neighborhood
and
safety
in
the
neighborhood
for
the
for
the
park,
condition
ranking
for
the
neighborhood
condition
rankings
and
then
basically,
look
at
past
investment
and
condition
of
assets
of
major
assets
in
the
park
under
the
park
condition
rankings.
F
That's
helpful,
thank
you,
I'm
just
I'm
curious
and
how
you
you
mentioned
a
roof
collapsing
as
one
potential
and
that's
pretty
serious
and
pretty
extreme.
I
would
suspect
what
are
some
other
priority
type
of
repairs
that
would
bypass
a
equity
process.
I
Member
jenkins,
thank
you
for
that
question.
So
we
have
a
an
ada
transition
plan
which
is
published
in
19
volumes
and
the
ada,
because
it
is
a
civil
rights
law.
We
feel
obligated
to
advance
those
outside
of
park
equity
rankings,
so
we
are
moving
through
the
process
of
upgrading
our
recreation,
centers
and
pro
and
and
most
directly
in
two
areas,
one
making
certain
that
the
access
to
and
into
the
building
meets
ada
requirements
and
then
significantly
looking
at
restroom
facilities
in
the
buildings,
I'm
making
certain
that
those
are
meeting
meeting
the
requirements.
I
I
Okay,
council
member,
remember
jenkins.
That's
actually
a
really
good
point.
What
what
we've
been
able
to
do
between
planning
and
asset
management
staff
is
find
that
there
are
alignments
between
where
we
have
failing
facilities
in
rehabilitation
and
capital
repair,
and
so
we
actually
take
the
dollars
and
group
them
together
and
do
one
larger
project
at
one
time,
so
we're
actually
accomplishing
more
at
one
time
through
capital
projects
now
than
when
we
started
this
process.
I
So
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
answer
those
questions
and
offer
clarifications.
So
the
the
what's
on
the
screen
now
are
the
2020
capital
projects
and
you'll
see
that
there's
more
of
these
projects
that
are
part
way
complete.
It's
because
we
started
engagement
for
2020
capital
projects
in
2020
and
you'll
see
a
much
higher
a
percentage
of
dollars
allocated
and
completed
and
were
completed
when
we
come
back
to
you
next
year
and
show
this
this
same
list
and
we
go
to
the
next
slide
please.
I
B
Just
real
quick
one,
I
give
an
opportunity
to
a
few
of
my
colleagues
who
have
joined
us
a
while
ago
to
just
have
themselves
noted
for
the
record,
and
so
I
believe
we
have
councilmember
gordon.
If
you
could
speak
up
so
you're
noted
for
the
record
as
present.
D
Thank
you
so
much
here.
I
am.
B
All
right
and
councilmember
cunningham.
I
Proceed.
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
chair
ellison,
so
we're
getting
close
to
the
end
here
and
then
we
can
entertain
questions.
So
this
is
the
list
of
projects
that
we're
looking
at
in
2021,
and
you
can
see
that
we
have
zero
allocated.
This
would
have
been
in
march.
We've
actually
started
work
on
some
of
these
projects
already,
notably
some
like
cedar
avenue
field.
I
We
actually
advanced
some
of
the
improvements
because
of
conditions
in
the
neighborhood
that
kind
of
required
greater
attention
and
and
so
we're
when
we
are
working
through
this
project,
for
instance,
painter
park
as
well
into
its
its
community
engagement
process,
and
we
are
moving
through
the
process
of
finalizing
the
design
and
moving
that
project
forward.
I
I
I
Stewart
park
perkins
hill
park
in
particular,
is
interesting
because
just
a
a
little
bit
of
an
advertisement,
perkins
park
was
kind
of
an
unrecognized
park,
but
it
now
has
our
system's
first
pump
track
in
it,
which
is
really
a
fun
feature,
and
we
we
work
to
move
move
that
project
forward
so
that
it
could
be
completed
this
summer,
and
I
think
then
that's
then
director
weissman
can
summarize
here.
H
B
Thank
you
for
this
presentation,
a
lot
of
exciting
work.
Are
there
any
questions
from
my
colleagues
and
we
have
a
question
from
council
president
bender.
C
Thanks
thanks,
mr
chair,
I
think
it's
a
question
to
you,
folks
from
the
park
board,
but
maybe
to
our
own
staff.
I
I'm
on
the
board
of
estimate
taxation
along
with
you,
know,
colleagues
and
the
mayor
others,
so
I
was
able
to
get
the
presentation
about
this
upcoming
year's
budget.
I
know
today
is
part
of
the
required
presentations
of
what's
been
happening.
C
H
President
vendor
and
council
members,
so
the
timing
of
our
presentation
to
the
city
budget
committee
happens
after
the
superintendent
releases
his
recommended
budget,
which
this
year
will
be
happening
on
october
20th,
so
we
would
be
presenting
to
the
city
budget
committee.
After
that
date
we
do
present
to
the
board
of
estimate
and
taxation.
C
Thank
you.
I
don't
want
to
take
as
much
time
here,
but
I
did
just
want
to
note
that,
in
addition
to
the
capital
pieces
which
we
have
funded
through
the
ordinance
there's
also
some
conversations
about
programming
funding
happening,
and
I
think
it's
very
connected
and
tied
into
the
conversations
that
we've
been
having
having
at
the
city
about
youth
investment
and
public
safety.
C
At
the
beginning
of
the
term,
we
adopted
our
first
ever
strategic
race,
equity
action
plan,
which
identified
three
key
goal
areas
and
for
the
public
safety
goal.
The
highest
priority
identified
was
to
invest
in
youth
programming.
So
I
know
that,
and
that
was
what
I
suspected
or
what
I
remembered
that.
C
First,
the
presentation
comes
the
board
of
estimate
and
taxation
where
we
set
the
maximum
levy,
which,
of
course
is
is
the
ceiling
for
how
much
funding
there
is
available
to
spend
on
all
of
the
city
and
park
boards
needs
and
then,
of
course,
the
council
after
that
would
hear
that
more
details
about
what
will
hap
what
could
happen
within
the
constraints
of
that
levy.
C
I
just
wanted
my
colleagues
to
know
that
conversation
was
happening
in
case
they
hadn't
had
a
chance
to
become
aware
of
the
details.
There's
been
some
press
coverage
of
the
park
board's
actions
and
maybe
there's
been
some
outreach
from
park
board
members
to
other
elected
officials,
but
I
think
there's
a
huge
alignment
in
what
the
park
board's
talking
about
with
both
their
infrastructure,
as
we've
heard,
investing
with
the
race
equity
lens,
as
well
as
the
programmatic
side,
aligning
with
our
goals
around
youth
investment
and
youth
programming.
C
So
that
can
just
stand
as
a
comment
and
really
just
invitation
to
my
colleagues,
I,
the
members
of
the
board
of
westman
taxation
or
myself
and
council
member
fletcher,
along
with
the
mayor,
I
believe,
park
commissioner
londell,
french
and
then
the
two
independently
elected
folks.
C
So
again
we
may
have
more
information
because
of
that
rule
and
I'd
be
happy
to
help
facilitate
any
information
sharing
if
folks
are
interested.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you,
council
president.
Are
there
any
other
any
other
questions
from
my
colleagues.
B
B
J
Good
morning,
chair
ellison
committee
members
again,
my
name
is
dushani
dai.
The
the
report
before
you
today
is
the
first
of
many
reports
that
will
be
brought
forward
to
this
committee.
J
I
will
emphasize
that
this
expedited
process
is
limited
to
contracts
and
amendments
funded
by
the
american
rescue
plan,
act
or
arpa,
it's
commonly
as
commonly
referred
to
and
specified
state
and
federal
grants.
J
J
J
J
J
B
All
right,
thank
you
for
that
update.
We
have
a
question
from
councilmember
fletcher.
K
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
Not
so
much
a
question,
but
just
a
a
a
comment
and
and
expression
of
gratitude
to
director
die.
We
you
know,
we've
really
been
working
on
this
process.
K
I
think
in
a
really
a
good
way
to
try
to
make
sure-
and
I
just
want
to
highlight
this
for
my
colleagues-
that
you
have
access
to
this
information
in
advance
of
us
acting
on
it
in
this
ad
hoc
committee,
so
that
if
there
are
items
that
you
want
to
raise
questions
about,
if
there
are
things
that
are
particularly
in
your
wheelhouse
or
in
your
area
of
specialization
that
you
want
to
raise
a
question
about,
I
would
encourage
you
to
reach
out
to
myself
or
to
customer
pumisano
and-
and
you
know
just
make
sure
that
you're
you're
keeping
in
touch
with
those
things.
K
We
are
trying
to
move
things
quickly
and
we
are
trying
to
balance
making
sure
that
everybody
has
a
chance
to
weigh
in
on
on
areas
that
that
you
have
a
special
interest
in
or
that
you
want
to
make
sure
that
you
get
your
questions
answered
about.
So
so
please
do
keep
in
touch
with
us.
K
We
have
the
ability
to
move
it
back
to
the
slower
typical
council
process
if
there's
something
that
doesn't
feel
appropriate
for
this
kind
of
expediting,
and
so
I
you
know,
I
think
that
we
are
finding
the
right
balance
as
we
go
along
here
and
I
think
we've
gotten
to
a
pretty
good
place
where
everybody
on
the
council
has
access
to
the
information,
and
I
I'll
agree
that
this
process
has
been
flowing
fairly
smoothly.
K
And
I
appreciate
the
work
to
get
these
orpa
funds
out
into
the
community
as
quickly
as
we
can.
B
Thank
you,
councilmember
fletcher.
We
have
a
question
or
comment
from
councilmember
gordon.
D
Yeah,
I
just
also
wanted
to
extend
my
thanks
and
to
staff,
and
also
to
my
colleagues
I'll
say
when
this
process
kind
of
came
through,
as
we
were,
approving
the
funding.
I
thought
well,
that
seems
like
a
good
idea,
but
I'm
not
sure
we
really
need
to
do
it
and
if
it'll
work-
and
it
does
seem
to
be
working
really
well-
and
I
appreciate
getting
this
report,
I
also
happen
to
really
appreciated
the
two
awards
that
went
through.
D
I
think
they
were
important
and
they
needed
to,
and
one
of
them
actually
was
really
helpful
to
a
problem
that
I
had
in
the
second
board,
I'm
so
I'm
grateful
to
have
that
happening
and
grateful
for
the
extra
work
from
our
two
colleagues
who
are
serving
on
this
group
to
look
at
this
as
well.
So
so
thanks
much
and
I'll
look
forward
to
ongoing
reports
in
the
future.
B
Great,
are
there
any
other
questions
or
comments.
C
Oh

G
Good
morning,
mr
chair
and
members
of
the
committee,
our
audit
report
actually
doesn't
forward
any
items
to
counsel
this
cycle,
but
I
wanted
just
to
give
a
brief
overview
of
what
happened
in
committee.
This
past
week
in
the
audit
committee,
we
added
a
new
audit
to
review
communication
spending
across
our
city
enterprise.
That's
a
follow-on
to
the
larger
audit
of
communications
done
a
couple
of
years
ago
by
an
outside
entity
that
we're
I'm
pleased
we're
finally
getting
back
to
acting
on
some
of
those
recommendations.
G
We
also
received
and
filed
four
of
the
state
auditor
annual
reports
that
includes
our
park
board
report
and
also
that
of
the
nbc
we
received,
filed
and
published
a
special
project
report
about
how
to
improve
our
lawsuits
process.
That
was
an
effort
that
was
led
and
reviewed
by
city
attorney's
office
and,
in
particular,
tracy
fussy.
G
We
had
our
regular
auditors
report
and
also
a
quick
overview
and
recap
of
our
after
action
review
report
that
is
in
progress
and
how
those
things
were
going.
I'm
happy
to
answer
questions.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you,
councilmember
palmisano.
I
don't
see
any
questions
from
colleagues,
and
so
with
that
we've
concluded
our
business
before
the
committee
today
and
hearing
no
objection,
I
will
declare
this
meeting
adjourned.
Thank
you.
Everyone.
C
I
I
just
wanted
to
note
I
emailed
around
yesterday
a
resolution
that
would
extend
our
existing
declaration
of
emergency
for
the
coveted
19
pandemic
until
after
the
upcoming
election
that
would
allow
existing
or
new
regulations
that
mayor
frye
could
issue
pending
approval
by
the
city
council,
they're
all
subject
to
approval
by
the
city
council
to
have
regulations
that
protect
the
health
of
both
city
elections,
workers
and
the
public
participating
in
voting
as
well
as
would
allow
both
the
city
council
and
the
city's
boards
of
and
commissions
to
continue
re
meeting
remotely
in
accordance
with
open
meeting
law.
C
Staff,
administration
and
leadership
has
determined
that
the
intended
return
to
work
in
person
date
for
city
staff
should
be
extended,
based
on
the
current
situation
with
covid,
and
so
we
also
intend
to
extend
our
return
to
in-person
meetings
in
alignment
with
that,
so
that
is
now
targeted
for
october
again,
pending
you
know,
recommendations
from
our
health
department
and
and
other
health
experts
on
the
situation
with
covin.
B
Yes,
thank
you,
council,
council,
president
bender
and
sorry.
I
thought
I'd
check
the
queue
one
last
time
but
before
journeying,
but
I
had
not
so
now
hearing
no
objection
I'll
give
it
a
second
all
right
now,
hearing
no
objection,
I
will
declare
this
meeting
adjourned.
Thank
you.
