E
B
F
A
Thank
you
good
afternoon,
chair
right
committee
members,
I'm
kelly,
moriarty,
a
principal
engineer
with
surface
water
and
sewer
division
of
public
works.
I
will
provide
some
background
on
the
item
before
you
and
introduce
the
public
hearing
for
the
assessment
of
sanitary
sewer
service
availability
charges,
also
known
as
sac.
A
The
metropolitan
council
environmental
services
collects
and
treats
wastewater
at
its
seven
regional
treatment
plants.
Mces
is
responsible
for
ensuring
that
sufficient
sewer
capacity
exists
to
serve
plant
development
and
for
providing
regional
wastewater
collection
and
treatment
services.
Funds
to
operate
mtes
systems
are
collected
in
two
ways.
Municipal
wastewater
charges
and
sac.
Useful
wastewater
charges
are
paid
by
municipalities
for
treatment
of
wastewater
generated
within
their
jurisdiction.
A
In
minneapolis,
municipal
wastewater
charges
are
passed
on
to
individual
property
owners
via
utility
bills.
Bac
is
the
fee
to
reserve
to
our
capacity
for
new
or
increased
discharges
into
the
mces
collection
system.
Stack
is
charged
based
on
the
estimated
maximum
potential
daily
wastewater
flow,
which
is
directly
linked
to
the
usage
of
individual
properties.
A
A
63
businesses
are
currently
enrolled
in
this
program
at
least
once
every
three
years
mcs
performs
an
audit-like
process
of
local
government
stack
records,
called
a
community
review
as
a
result
of
the
2014
and
2019
community
reviews.
Mces
identified
accounts
that
had
outstanding
tax
fees
due
as
of
today,
three
of
those
properties
identified
in
the
audit
still
have
outstanding
taxes
due
in
addition,
seven
properties
have
outstanding
tax
fees.
Within
the
deferral
program.
A
B
B
B
Not
seeing
any
indication
of
that,
I
will
close
the
public
hearing,
move
the
item
as
submitted
by
staff
and
ask
if
there's
any
further
deliberation
from
the
committee
at
cne.
I
will
thank
staff
for
the
presentation,
it's
always
good,
to
explain
where
these
charges
come
from
their
purpose
and
our
particular
role
as
a
city
in
them.
So
thank
you
for
those
clarifications
and
with
that
I'll
have
the
clerk
call
the
role.
B
F
D
B
Are
there
any
questions
for
the
staff
regarding
this
presentation
not
seen
any
indication
of
that?
I
will
open
the
public
hearing
on
item
two
and
we
have
no
registered
speakers.
According
to
the
clerk
for
this
item,
if
anyone's
online
press
star
six
to
unmute
and
proceed
with
comments
calling
one
more
time,
I've
seen
an
indication,
I
will
close
the
public
hearing
and
move
this
item
and
see
if
there's
any
further
discussion
from
the
committee,
I
haven't
seen
any
indication
of
that
clerk.
Please
call
the
role.
B
F
G
Thank
you.
Like
brett
said
we
have
been
working
on
a
draft
calming
traffic
coming
process
that
we
want
to
present
to
you
today.
I
work
closely
with
juan
veranda,
who
leads
our
traffic
safety
team
of
four
amazing
individuals.
Next
slide,
please.
G
So
this
is
just
a
short
presentation
to
explain
the
topic,
which
is
just
to
provide
more
information
on
the
graph
process.
We
have
come
up
with
and
I'll
cover
the
who.
What
when,
where?
Why
and
how
next
slide
is
these?
It's
the
only
slide
I'll
read
to
you
next
one.
G
There
we
go
traffic
on
calming
is
the
combination
of
mainly
physical
measures
that
reduce
the
negative
effects
of
motor
vehicle
use,
altered,
driver
behavior
and
improved
conditions
for
non-motorized
users,
so
for
the
process
that
we're
proposing
that
translates
to
some
safety
improvements
such
as
street
pavement
markings
like
the
white
lines
at
the
edge
stuff,
help
make
the
road
feel
narrower
speed.
Bumps
raise
pedestrian
craftings,
curb
extensions
pinch
points,
traffic
circles
or
one-way
street
conversions.
G
The
ward
offices
etc.
Now
each
concern
or
request
is
evaluated
and
action
is
taken
if
the
issue
is
valid
and
mitigatable,
given
the
tools
and
resources
available
so
who
requested
and
who
implements
it,
anyone
can
voice
concerns
about
safety
or
request
traffic
calming
the
public
state
or
public
works.
Traffic
safety
group
is
the
one
who
evaluates
everything
that
comes
in
and
if
they're
clickable,
we
have
various
public
works
groups
that
will
implement
improvements
in
the
field
next
slide.
Please.
G
So,
instead
of
the
first-come,
first-served
kind
of
spot
improvements
that
we
do
today,
it
also
seeks
to
provide
a
data
driven
and
transparent
process,
so
that
the
magnitude
of
the
requests
that
are
coming
in
and
how
we're
prioritizing
our
limited
resources
into
addressing
those
requests
is
better
understood
and
also
that
the
process
is
more
equitable.
G
So
how
the
annual
process
is
proposed
to
work?
We
have
the
five
general
boxes
here
that
I'll
talk
through
so
first
we
have.
The
applications,
like
I
said,
requests
or
applications
can
be
initiated
by
anyone
and
submitted
at
any
time.
G
But
currently
we
have
a
deadline
shown
of
september
1st
for
those
applications
for
consideration
for
an
improvement
implemented
the
following
year.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
the
applications
are
supported
by
more
than
a
few
people.
So,
right
now,
the
naval
court
organization
is
asked
to
vote
to
approve
those
applications.
G
Next,
we'll
take
all
the
applications
that,
at
this
point,
have
endorsement
or
approval
by
the
neighborhood
association
and
we'll
go
through
some
screening
and
preliminary
scoring
of
those
so
applying
data
criteria
and
assigning
points
so
we're
trying
to
narrow
down
the
potential
projects.
We
want
to
include
the
traffic
data
and
community
demographic
information
in
that
scoring.
That
will
allow
us
to
make
more
database
decisions
and
also
apply
that
equity
lens
and,
ultimately
to
focus
our
resources
on
those
projects
that
come
to
the
top.
G
In
those
scores.
The
number
of
projects
that
come
to
the
top
and
move
into
implementation
each
year
will
depend
on
the
scope
of
those
projects
and
on
the
resources
available
right
now.
We're
anticipating,
like
10
to
20
projects
or
applications,
would
move
into
implementation
after
screening
and
preliminary
scoring
will
go
on
a
data
collection.
So
we
intend
to
hold
the
community
meeting
and
gather
more
information
on
the
concerns
out
there
in
addition
to
gathering
some
more
data
in
the
field.
G
So,
for
example,
do
speed
studies
or
more
traffic
accounts
in
that
area
and
we're
hoping
to
do
that
before
the
snow
flies.
Hence
the
deadline
in
september.
So
we
have
some
time
to
do
that.
Then
that
will
get
us
to
a
recommendation
on
which
traffic
calming
tool
or
tools.
We
recommend
we'll
meet
again
with
the
community
to
discuss
that
recommendation
and
the
priority
and
timing
of
when
that
recommended
solution
could
be
implemented
in
the
field.
G
And
if
you
look
at
kind
of
the
timeline,
those
final
meetings
will
happen
in
the
spring
so
that
by
may,
where
we've
come
to
an
agreement
on
what
can
be
done
and
when
we
can
implement
it
and
then
we'll
start
implementation
in
june
of
through
october.
So
application
is
due
in
september
and
then
implementation
of
improvements
the
following
year
next
slide.
Please.
G
So
our
goal
is
to
apply
this
process
to
our
local
neighborhood
streets,
where
a
majority
of
our
traffic
homing
requests
come
from.
So
this
map
shown
here
has
green
streets,
which
is
our
draft
map
right
now.
The
green
streets
are
the
eligible
streets,
so
the
streets
which
this
process
would
be
applied
to.
G
So
all
city
streets
are
eligible,
but
for
a
few
things,
so
we
have
the
high
injury
network
removed
from
the
eligible
list,
and
that's
because
the
high
entry
network
is
associated
with
the
vision,
zero
program,
which
already
has
resources
and
efforts
being
put
to
improving
the
safety
on
those
streets.
G
The
next
is
municipal
state
aid
funded
roads
and,
unlike
a
lot
of
our
local
streets
identified
as
eligible
for
this
process,
the
the
municipal
state
aid
streets
have
other
resources
available
to
them
to
meet
those
safety
improvements
and
the
bottom
on
the
list.
There
is
streets
that
are
under
active
construction
or
cut
through
traffic
on
neighboring
streets
due
to
construction.
G
Those
would
not
be
put
into
this
process
and
scored
for
implementation
or
addressing
the
following
year.
Those
would
be
sent
directly
to
a
project
manager
associated
with
exact
construction
for
mitigation.
G
G
Next,
please
so
a
quick
schedule.
After
today's
overview
to
the
tpw
meeting
or
committee,
we
intend
to
engage
the
community
over
the
next
few
months
on
this
draft.
G
So
this
is
brief.
This
concludes
the
presentation.
So
thank
you,
but
if
you
have
any
questions
we'll
be
happy
to
answer
any
you
may
have.
B
Are
there
any
questions
for
staff
regarding
this
presentation,
councilmember
bender.
H
Thanks
mr
chair,
I
mostly
just
have
rave
reviews
and
I'm
so
excited
to
see
this
process
laid
out
like
this
available.
Right
now
I
mean
ward
10.
Our
office
receives
so
many
constituent
calls
and
complaints
about
traffic
safety
for
many
years.
It
was
the
number
one
thing
that
people
called
about
and
the
process
never
felt
good.
It
was
us
calling
public
works
and
saying
hey.
We
have
a
constituent
concerned
about
this
safety
issue.
There's
I
mean
hundreds
of
safety
issues
just
in
my
ward
and
it
just
felt
very
ad
hoc.
H
You
know
it
was
almost
like
we
were
asking
public
works
like
hey.
Can
you
take
a
look
at
this?
You
know
without
a
real
system,
to
do
that,
and
you
know,
as
responsive
as
staff
has
been
over
the
years
just
having
this
clear
system
laid
out
with
deadlines.
H
I
love
the
fact
that
it's
engaged
you
know
it's
got
the
community
engagement
pieces
that
are
really
gathering
input
from
a
lot.
You
know
from
the
community.
I
love
that
it
has
a
race
equity
lens
and
the
prioritization
for
low-income
communities
in
line
with
our
stated
goals.
So
I
just
really
think
you
hit
the
mark
here
of
creating
a
process
that
will
be
a
lot
easier
for
folks
to
use
that
over
time
I
think,
will
be
more
efficient
in
making
sure
our
resources
are
being
well
used
and
prioritized
along
with
our
goals.
H
H
In
future
years,
you
know,
I
do
think
the
partnership
of
the
council
offices
can
be
important
to
keep.
You
know
just
like
keep
momentum
going,
so
people
don't
feel
discouraged
if
their
project
isn't
picked
right
out
of
the
gate.
You
know.
Over
the
years
I've
tried
to
work
with
neighborhood
organizations.
H
Just
to
you
know,
do
some
prioritization
exercises
and
things,
so
I
just
think
that
this
process
will
again
make
all
of
that
so
much
more
streamlined.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you,
council
member
fletcher,.
I
I
I
know
people
sometimes
feel
very
frustrated
feeling
like
they
don't
understand
why
their
request,
you
know,
is
or
isn't
getting
responded
to,
and
does
that
mean
that
you
know
somehow
they're
getting
less
attention
from
politicians,
or
does
it
mean
that
they're,
somehow
you
know
some
sort
of
other
prioritization
going
on
with
it
getting
left
out,
and
I
actually
think
that
that
having
a
transparent
process
where
we're
applying
an
equity
lens,
applying
a
lens
about
where
it's
really
going
to
make
the
most
impact
based
on
data,
to
really
show
our
work
and
show
why
we're
doing
the
projects
we're
doing
in
the
order
that
we're
doing
them
so
that
everybody
can
see
it
is
gonna,
be
really
important.
I
I
think
the
you
know
the
the
potential,
the
ways
that
this
is
gonna
be
most
successful
I'll,
just
echo,
you
know
our
briefing
on
this
earlier
are
going
to
be.
If
you
know
to
the
extent
that
we
can
create
a
real,
you
know,
input
system
that
doesn't
expect
people
to
know
whether
they
live
on
a
state
aid
road
or
not
or
or
you
know
that
really
makes
helps
people
make
sure
that
their
requests
are
getting
to
the
right
place.
I
You
know
whether
or
not
this
program
is
a
good
fit
for
them,
and
and
and
really
it
becomes
a
good
entry
point
and
and
create
some
visibility
for
people
about
how
their
requests
are
being
received.
I
think
you
know
we.
We
have
the
opportunity
to
really
get
this
right,
because
you
really
mapped
out
a
good
length
of
time
to
really
look
at
the
process
and
look
at
the
ways
we
can
create
transparency
and
tools
around.
I
You
know
really
showing
our
work
on
this
and
I
I
think
it's
incredibly
promising
and
I
really
appreciate
everything
that
you're
bringing
forward.
I
know
the
places
that
we're
getting
the
traffic
calming
work
done.
People
so
appreciate
it,
and
we
know
that
it
is
making
our
streets
safer
all
over
the
city
and
improving
our
process.
So
people
understand
how
we're
prioritizing
and
how
we're
getting
that
work
done
is
going
to
make
it
even
better.
So
thank
you.
E
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
I
don't
think
I'm
saying
anything
new.
I
just
wanted
to
echo
the
sentiments
of
my
colleagues
and
especially
work
to
reiterate
council
member
fletcher's
point
on
how
we
show
our
work
and
show
our
transparency
and
how
these
decisions
get
made
will
take
so
much
stress
and
frustration.
I
think
out
of
the
process
like,
like
he
said,
being
able
to
show
what
we
are
doing
in
different
parts
of
the
city
and
why,
through
the
race,
equity
lens
is
just
incredibly
important.
There
are
countless-
and
I
know
I'm
not
alone.
E
I
especially
like
the
neighborhood
engagement,
because
it
helps
neighborhoods
to
have
conversations
with
many
members
of
the
public
that
are
experts
of
that
area.
To
help
help
a
group
of
people,
a
group
of
the
public
to
help
prioritize
different
kinds
of
traffic
calming
or
other
kinds
of
safety
measures
within
a
neighborhood
itself.
So
thank
you
so
much.
I
greatly
appreciate
you
and
your
staff
and
everything
that
you
have
been
doing.
B
B
You
know,
given
the
level
of
engagement
that
that
is
well
known
in
certain
parts
of
the
city,
and
it's
also
very
good
to
hear
that
how
meaningful
this
could
be
from
a
couple
of
the
council
members
who
represent
areas
of
the
most
intensely
used
right-of-way,
and
so
the
fact
that
this
is
a
meaningful
framework
and
tool
moving
forward
in
the
ways
described,
I
think,
is
a
real
resounding
affirmation
of
this
work,
and
I
too
want
to
extend
my
thanks
to
staff,
who
put
it
together,
I'll
comment
that
as
a
really
thoughtful
and
well
laid
out
presentation
for
something.
B
I
think
that
will
be
very,
very
important
moving
forward.
I
think
the
comments
could
be
gleaned
to
suggest
that
you
don't
become
a
council
member
in
the
city
of
minneapolis,
no
matter
what
ward
and
not
have
to
deal
with
this
situation.
So
I
think
this
will
be
universally
appreciated
and
utilized
framework
and
tool.
So
thank
you
for
that
and
if
there
is
no
further
conversation,
I
will
move
this
item
and
in
a
receive
and
file
manner
and
ask
the
clerk
to
call
a
role.
I
B
Let
the
record
deflect.
We
have
confirmed
that
with
the
majority
and
see
no
further
business
before
us
and
if
there's
no
objection
from
committee
members,
I
will
call
this
meeting
adjourned
and
thank
staff
for
their
work
for
all
the
items
in
this
agenda
today.
