F
Thank
you
to
the
patient,
neighborhood
and
park
visitors
who
waited
so
long
for
a
new
play
and
picnic
area,
and
with
that,
oh
one,
more
one
more
thing
before
I
turn
this
over
to
director
weissman.
I
wanted
to
just
add
a
couple
of
things.
One
last
thing:
each
day,
members
of
our
par
our
park
police
department
do
a
really
good
job
in
challenging
work.
F
This
past
weeks
have
been
really
particularly
difficult
for
our
city
and
our
park
system.
Even
so,
our
officers
have
responded,
and
I'm
just
going
to
read
three
things
real
briefly.
To
give
you
an
idea
of
what
the
work
we
do.
Every
day
on
tuesday
may
11th
officers
from
the
minneapolis
police
department
were
dispatched
to
plymouth
avenue
bridge
on
a
report
of
a
person
in
crisis,
attempting
to
jump
off
the
bridge
into
mississippi
river,
a
minneapolis
park,
police
officer
officer,
scott
rethwell
was
nearby
and
responded.
F
The
person
in
crisis
had
gone
limb
and
if
they
were,
if
the
rescuers
could
not
hang
on,
he
would
have
fallen
into
the
river
officers
and
citizens
held
on
to
the
patient
for
approximately
nine
minutes
until
the
fire
department
could
safely
bring
the
patient
over
the
railing.
This
person
in
crisis
was
able
to
get
the
medical
attention
they
needed
before,
because
the
rescuers,
including
our
park
police
officer
on
thursday
may
13th,
while
attending
an
eid
event
at
bottineau
park.
F
An
elderly
person
experienced
a
medical
or
emergency
two
minneapolis
park,
police
officers,
officers,
brian
woodfield
and
james
cannon,
were
the
first
emergency
personnel
to
respond.
The
patient
was
unconscious,
not
breathing
and
without
a
pulse
officers
performed
cpr
on
the
patient.
For
several
minutes
before
the
fire
department
and
paramedics
arrived,
the
actions
of
these
officers
gave
the
patient
the
opportunity
to
survive
her
medical
emergency.
F
The
last
one
on
monday
may
17th
officers
in
both
park,
police
department
and
the
minneapolis
police
department
responded
to
a
report
of
a
shooting
near
east
phillips.
There
were
two
shooting
victims.
One
of
the
victims
ran
into
the
park
and
collapsed
near
the
soccer
field.
A
park
police
officer
officer,
lynette
anki,
a
minneapolis
and
minneapolis
officers
located
the
victim
who
had
been
shot
in
the
leg
and
was
bleeding
from
a
femoral
artery.
F
A
tourniquet
was
applied
by
the
officers
and
the
bleeding
was
stopped.
This
was
a
chaotic
scene
with
unknown
suspects
still
on
the
loose
without
officers.
Stopping
the
bleeding
the
victims
certainly
would
have
perished
prior
to
the
par
the
paramedics
even
arriving.
I
wanted
to
share
that
with
our
community
and
with
our
board
of
the
work
that
these
folks
face
every
day,
and
I
can
tell
you
that
many
times
I
receive
many
many
emails
of
the
work,
that's
being
performed
of
our
officers
and
saving
lives.
F
N
And
thank
you,
superintendent,
bangora,
president
cogill
and
commissioners.
I'm
providing
you
a
financial
status
update
through
the
end
of
april,
so
through
april
30th
of
this
year.
Next
slide,
please.
N
So
in
our
general
fund.
Again,
we
are
watching
our
fees,
fines
and
other
revenue
line
you'll
see
that
our
actual
revenue
through
april
30th
is
down
from
actual
revenue
as
of
april
30th
of
2020
and
again
that's
because
the
beginning
of
2020
did
not
have
the
coven
impact
that
we
are
currently
experiencing
at
the
beginning
of
2021.
N
So
we're
still
hopeful
that
the
converse
will
happen
as
things
open
up
and
activities
roll
out
and
begin
to
happen.
We
will
hope
to
see
additional
revenue
coming
into
the
general
fund
on
the
expenditure
side.
We
also
have
savings
in
our
wages,
infringe
our
material
and
supplies,
and
contractual
services
are
all
below
the
percentage
recognized
as
of
april
30th
of
2020.
N
N
N
The
golf
courses
opened
up
earlier
in
2021
compared
to
2020
the
the
activity
at
the
golf
courses
are
at
an
at
a
high
level,
so
we
have
up
our
projected
year-end
revenue
forecast
for
golf
to
be
above
our
current
budget
and
again
we
will
monitor
this
throughout
the
year.
If
usage
changes
or
weather
changes,
we
will
make
adjustments
as
we
go
on.
Expenditures
for
the
golf
courses
are
up
compared
to
2020.
N
If
you
remember
in
2020,
we
had
reassigned
staffing
to
golf
as
different
areas
were
closed
and
we
reassigned
staffing
to
the
gulf
area
which
ended
up
saving
golf
from
some
revenue,
some
expenditures.
Last
year.
We
don't
have
that
same
situation
this
year,
so
we
expect
that
our
expenses
will
will
equal
what
we
have
budgeted
this
year
next
slide.
N
Please
use
and
events
permitting
and
concessions
again.
These
are
two
areas
that
were
heavily
impacted
by
the
pandemic
in
2020,
so
we're
hopeful
as
this
summer
rolls
out
that
we
will
see
revenues
growing
in
both
of
these
areas.
As
again,
the
rollbacks
are
happening
with
the
executive
orders
and
cdc
guidelines
have
changed.
N
N
For
ice
arenas
and
the
sculpture
garden,
we
are
showing
steady
revenues
and
again
we'll
watch
the
sculpture
garden
going
into
this
summer
season
and
hope
to
see
additional
revenues
coming
in
here.
Our
covid
impacts
at
this
point
are
being
held
in
in
a
pot
in
total
and
will
be
spread
out
through
the
business
units
as
it
becomes
clearer
how
hobit
is
going
to
impact
the
various
business
units
within
the
enterprise
fund.
Next
slide,
please
so
we're
projecting
that
our
net
income
from
operations
will
be
just
under
2.4
million
dollars.
N
Oh
sorry,
thank
you.
Financial
update,
real
quickly,
sorry
about
that
next
slide,
please
so
far,
encampments
through
april
30th,
we
do
not
have
very
much
activity
as
far
as
support
goes
with
maintenance,
bips
and
waste
management.
N
Very
small
charges
related
to
mostly
towards
the
beginning
of
the
year.
We
do
have
legal
expenses
and
we
have
support
from
our
community
and
I'm
not
I'm
going
to
say
their
name
wrong.
The
community
engagement
violence
prevention
department
that
is
working
with
people
experiencing
homelessness
in
our
parks
and
that's
the
end
of
my
presentation.
Thank
you.
A
O
Thank
you,
president
cogel.
I
had
a
question
about
the
turtle
pilot
science.
I
don't
remember
exactly
what
it's
called.
I
forgot
to
write
it
down
and
I
was
making
notes
on
the
numbers
from
the
presentation,
but
if
we
do
collect
trail
cam
footage,
are
we
going
to
be
sharing
that
footage
with
the
public?
Do
we
have
the
ability
to
do
that?
Do
we
require
any
special
permits
from
the
dnr?
O
I
follow
quite
a
few
naturalist
and
outdoors
pages
on
social
media
and
the
trail.
Cam
footage
is
always
it's
always
interesting
to
see
just
how
animals
are
interacting
with
the
environment
around
us.
So
do
we
know
if
that's
part
of
the
plan
to
help
educate
the
public
about
this
project.
M
President
caldwell,
commissioner
music,
this
is
jeremy
and
I
believe
my
understanding
of
it
now
is
the
trail.
Cameras
are
to
monitor
the
initial
pilot
is
to
monitor
just
if
there's
total
activity
as
far
as
like
taking
it
a
step
further
into
like
the
eagle
nest,
camera
type
approach
that
people
tune
into,
I
think
that's
yet
to
be
seen
we
again
at
this
point.
Are
it
was
our
first
summer
of
doing
this.
We've
often
heard
from
folks
that
you
know
we
need
to
do
something
about
the
turtles
and
we
started
with.
O
Okay,
I
guess
what
I
was
thinking
was
more
along
the
lines
of
should
the
turtle
cam
trail,
cam,
capture,
turtles,
laying
eggs
or
something
that
we'd
be
able
to
share
some
of
that
footage.
Last
summer
walking
around
potato
mccoska
with
my
nephews,
we
got
to
see
a
turtle
that
had
dug
a
nest
and
was
laying
eggs,
and
it
was
like
the
most
fascinating
thing
that
had
ever
happened
for
them
to
have
witnessed
in
the
park,
and
I
just
to
be
able
to
share
that
experience
with
the
broader
with
the
broader
audience.
M
A
P
Thank
you,
president
coghill.
This
may
be
a
little
bit
longer
of
a
question.
I
have
a
few
of
them.
What
are
the
two
million
dollars
in
improvements?
If
you
can
remind
me
from
2020
that
will
come
out
of
the
enterprise
fund
this
this
year?
N
Glogail
and
commissioner
severson,
the
improvements
that
are
planned
in
2021
includes
the
bidet
mccoska
concession
building.
If
that
is
passed
by
this
board,
it
includes
the
meadowbrook
golf
building
which
will
happen
in
2021,
and
it
includes
some
emergency
repair
and
ice
arena
smaller
projects
and
then
a
series
of
in
a
series
of
our
rehabilitation
program
for
the
for
the
enterprise
fund,
so
that
we
can
do
assessments
on
the
buildings
and
identify
a
prioritized
list
for
each
of
the
rehabilitation
programs
that
are
needed
in
this
fund.
A
Thank
you,
commissioner.
Superson,
the
time
being
now,
5
30
pm
move
us
into
open
time.
A
We
do
have
three
speakers
signed
up
for
open
time.
Open
time
is
the
opportunity
for
the
board
of
commissioners
to
hear
from
the
public
I'll
allocate
two
minutes
for
each
speaker
this
evening
due
to
covid
restrictions.
Folks
are
calling
in
to
speak
and
I'll
note
that
we
allow
speakers
to
address
the
board
on
any
topic.
We
just
ask
that
you
refrain
from
using
any
discriminatory
or
harassing
language
and
that
you
refrain
from
discussing
any
pending
personnel
matters.
A
L
Q
Q
Q
Q
Q
This
garden
adds
beauty
to
the
minneapolis
park.
Experience
the
abundance
of
flowers
helps
the
pollinators
of
minnesota.
The
retaining
wall
helps
soil
erosion
and
water
runoff
from
entering
the
sidewalk
and
the
parkway,
the
decorations
in
the
gardens,
delight
children
and
many
others
to
see
them.
The
cease
and
desist
letter
was
received.
On
april
15th,
we
immediately
offered
to
meet
with
staff
members
of
the
park
board
on
that
responded.
Q
The
cease
and
desist
letter
christine
downey
with
mr
cleopas
on
may
4th,
but
would
not
explain
why
we
were
being
singled
out
and
also
took
no
responsibility
for
the
issuance
of
the
letter
on
april
28th.
Local
fox
news
did
a
story
about
the
property
which
aired
the
same
day.
That
evening,
commissioner
londell
french
visited
our
property
unannounced.
Q
He
had
not
known
of
the
cease
and
desist
letter
until
seeing
the
report
on
television,
he
was
very
nice
and
offered
some
advice,
including
speaking
to
this
board.
At
open
time
on
may
11.
We
started
the
petition
to
demonstrate
neighborhood
support
for
the
garden
to
the
park
board.
The
second
television
news
story
on
kstp
aired
on
the
15th.
Q
We
now
have
over
a
thousand
signers.
We
converse
with
many
of
the
signers
that
are
astounded
by
the
amount
of
public
support
and
the
many
who
believe
the
infractions
in
our
garden
have
been
unjustly
singled
out.
They
express
hope
for
us
and
wish
us
the
best
of
luck.
Social
media
has
also
kept
them
all
informed.
Q
We
have
now
submitted
an
application
for
an
encroachment
permit.
We
both
live
on
limited,
fixed
income,
so
we
cannot
afford
a
license.
Surveyor
we
respectively,
respectively,
request
the
park
board
commissioners
to
grant
a
variance
for
the
garden
and
the
retaining
wall
and
waive
the
requirement
for
a
licensed
surveyor,
and
if,
in
the
future,
there
is
a
need
for
the
destruction
of
the
wall
or
the
garden
for
utility
street
or
sidewalk
repair,
the
variants
could
be
revoked.
At
that
time,
the
neighborhood
has
indicated
its
strong
support
for
our
garden.
A
Q
L
A
R
J
R
And
my
young
daughters,
I'm
calling
in
support
of
resolution
2021-217
the
resolution
approving
the
refectory
rebuild
concept
on
video
makaska,
where
lola
and
the
tin
fish
were
located.
We
were
all
sad
when
the
lola
restaurant
burned
down
the
northeast
corner
makes
a
great
place
for
a
lot
of
people.
It's
fun
to
see
everybody
get
together
down
there
and
enjoy
the
food
as
well
as
the
sunset
on
the
east
side
of
the
lake,
the
other
side,
you
wouldn't
be
able
to
have
the
sunset
and
it's
not
the
proximity
to
uptown.
R
I
just
want
to
thank
the
planning
committee
for
bringing
this
back
to
a
vote
and
I
hope
the
board
approves
the
planet
submitted
and
voted
on
by
the
community.
The
people
I've
talked
to
in
the
neighborhood
are
excited
and
we're
excited
about
the
new
refractory
building.
So
thank
you
for
the
consideration
again.
A
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
comments.
Brian
I've
been
notified
that
the
third
speaker
is
is
not
able
to
join
us.
This.
J
A
So
that
does
conclude
our
open
time
commenters
moving
on,
I
am
actually
returning
to
the
superintendent's
report.
I'm
told
that
there
is
one
more-
I
guess,
node,
of
information
that
the
superintendent
wanted
to
update
us
on
regarding
the
carpentry
training
pilot
program,
so
superintendent,
please
do
take
it.
D
B
President
cowgill,
this
is
assistant
superintendent
schroeder.
I
can
speak
to
this
briefly.
That's
all
right.
Thank.
B
Certainly
so,
commissioners,
this
is
something
we're
exploring
and
superintendent
bangor
wanted
to
share
the
status
of
this
with
you.
This
is
a
an
effort
to
try
to
take
some
of
the
youth
initiatives
that
you've
been
doing
and
and
tie
it
to
other
needs.
We
have
in
our
in
our
system
and
the
the
basics
of
this
cannot
go
to
the
next
slide.
B
So
this
is
the
our
godfrey
house,
it
it's.
Its
condition
is
similar
to
what
we
have
at
the
stephen's
house
or
the
longfellow
house
on
the
exterior,
and
it
requires
selective
replacement
of
some
of
the
wood
soffits
and
trim
board
and
replacement
of
some
of
the
wood's
existing
wood,
siding
caulking
at
windows,
doors
and
trims,
and
and
then
we
also
have
the
protection
of
the
work
site.
B
So
the
building
is
is
not
not
a
his,
not
truly
a
designated
historic
homes,
but
we
have
it
in
that
same
category
as
the
stephen's
house,
the
longfellow
house,
and
and
we'll
be
looking
at
how
we
could.
We
have
been
looking
at
how
we
can
make
some
envelope
improvements
to
this
building.
B
Can
I
go
to
the
next
slide?
Please
the
what
we've
been
exploring
with
hennepin
county
at
least
initially,
and
what
we're
calling
a
pilot
program
would
be
a
three-month
program
where
we
would
bring
six
trainee
participants
in
to
work
a
full
work
week
at
fifteen
dollars
per
hour.
They
would
be
instructed
in
their
work
by
two
journeyman
carpenters.
B
The
program
would
exist
with
four
days
in
the
field.
One
day
in
the
classroom,
the
empire
b
would
pay
for
the
trainees,
their
personal
protective
equipment
and
the
basic
tools
that
they
would
need.
We
would
pay
for
the
materials
and
hennepin
county
may
be
able
to
pay
for
the
cost
of
the
journeyman
carpenter
as
trainers
in
this
effort.
Although
we
we
think
we
have
dollars
to
be
able
to
participate
in
that
as
well.
B
So
this
is
trying
to,
as
I
said,
align
the
historic
homes
with
training
for
youth
age
18
to
24
because
of
the
use
of
power
tools.
Hennepin
county,
as
our
training
partner,
would
require
that
the
youth
to
be
at
least
18..
So
this
would
be
focused
on
18
to
24
year
old
minneapolis.
Youth
next
slide,
please.
B
So
as
we
look
at
this
we'd
be
starting
this
year,
as
I
mentioned
june
15th.
If
we
can
get
everything
in
order
around
a
pilot
program,
if
this
is
successful,
we
could
expand
that
the
normal
pilot
pro
the
normal
program,
the
hennepin
county
offers,
is
a
six-month
program
and
we
would
continue
to
focus
on
our
historic
and
iconic
homes
that
are
noted
in
the
slide
and
and
really
if
this
program
is
successful,
there
are,
there
is
potential
to
expand
it
to
training
and
other
things.
B
Other
programs
related
to
our
trades
and
even
forestry.
So
we
are
in
the
exploratory
stages
of
this
and
in
fact
it's
happening
very
quickly.
Superintendent
bangor
wanted
to
make
you
all
aware
of
it,
because
it
is
kind
of
a
unique
opportunity
to
marry
two
of
the
initiatives
that
the
board
brought
forward
last
year,
related
historic
iconic
homes
and
youth
jobs
and
skilled
development,
and
that
is
it.
Thank
you,
president.
Colgill.
A
Thank
you,
assistant
superintendent
schroeder.
Do
we
have
questions
on
this
or
any
other
aspects
of
the
report?
Commissioner,
music.
O
Thank
you,
president
coco.
This
is
assistant
superintendent
schroeder.
I
don't
know
where
he
went,
but
if
you
can
come
back
so
I
I
always
appreciate
seeing
that
we
have
new
training
programs,
I'm
interested
in
understanding
how
this
integrates
with
hiring
that
the
park
board
is
doing
and
potential
pathways
to
future
employment
with
the
park
board
or
other
governmental
agencies.
Are
we
exploring
how
that
will
work
as
part
of
this
pilot
and
how
it
would
integrate
into
job
opportunities
and
needs
that
the
system
has
as
part
of
what.
B
President
kovils
and
commissioner
music
you're,
hitting
on
exactly
what
we're
trying
to
get
to
we'd
like
to
explore
this
a
little
more
with
the
union,
so
that
there's
even
that
path
towards
employment.
But
this
this
is
intended
to
bring,
even
though
it's
a
rather
intensive
three-month
program
bring
necessary
basic
skills
to
folks
who
wouldn't
otherwise
get
them
and
hopefully
make
them
employable
by
the
park
board
in
particular,
or
other
public
agencies
or
entities
that
could
give
them
gainful
employment.
B
Commission
museum
president
kogo.
Yes,
we
will.
I
noted
that
this
is
a
a
program
that
spends
four
days
in
the
field
and
one
day
in
a
classroom.
The
classroom
portion
is
intended
to
build
not
just
basic
life
skills,
but
job
seeking
skills
and
beyond
just
the
basic
skills.
You
would
need
in
this
case,
as
a
carpenter.
O
Okay,
excellent
and
how
would
we
connect
interested
minneapolis
residents
in
to
this
program
to
apply
to
participate.
B
President
coghill,
commissioner
music,
I
think
if
you
were,
if
you
had
somebody-
maybe
for
now
direct
them
to
me-
and
I
will
get
them
to
the
county
staff,
because
this
is
happening
so
quickly.
We
are
relying
a
lot
on
the
resources
of
venapan
county.
I
should
mention
that
this
is
a
program
that
I
became
familiar
with,
as
they
were
teaching
youth
restoration
activities
at
the
historic
buildings
of
the
upper
post
of
fort
snelling
and
the
the
county
staff
that
we've
been
working
with
is
really
enthusiastic
about
building
this
program
with
us.
B
O
Okay,
when
you
have
a
little
bit
more
hammered
out
ideas
about
how
people
can
apply
for
this,
it'd
be
great
if
you
could
share
that
with
the
board
as
a
whole
and
I'll
I'd
be
happy
to
share
that
with
the
folks
on
my
mailing
list
and
be
associated.
B
We
will
do
that
in
fact,
we
actually
want
to
be
documenting
our
efforts
here
using
other
youth
potentially
to
show
how
this
work
is
happening,
and
you
know
the
things
like
you
saw
last
week
with
new
last
time
with
news
with
nora.
We
would
love
to
have
her
out
there
interviewing
some
of
these
folks
as
they
learn
new
skills.
A
Thank
you,
commissioner.
Music.
Any
other
questions
from
commissioners,
not
seeing
any.
Thank
you
superintendent
for
the
report,
all
the
updates,
exciting
stuff
happening
in
the
system.
Let's
move
on
here
to
our
consent,
business.
We
have
two
items.
I
asked
for
a
motion
on
resolutions,
2021
210
and
resolution
2021
211.
A
P
G
I
L
A
A
L
G
L
J
K
L
K
E
K
Commissioner
meyer,
yes,
I
have
an
amendment
posed
to
this.
The
objective
of
the
amendment
is
to
try
to
avoid
the
situation
we
had
with
delisle,
where
we
made
an
agreement
where
they
had
to,
you
know
replace
their
tennis
court,
but
it
took.
I
don't
even
know
how
many
years
for
them
to
do
that.
So
in
discussing
that
with
staff,
they
suggested
that
we
put
into
the
agreement
that
we're
making
with
the
university
a
three-year
requirement.
K
So
that's
the
intent
behind
this.
So
I
move
to
amend
the
resolution
to
add
an
additional
resolved
clause
which
would
read
resolved
that
the
board
of
commissioners
requires
that
the
reference
to
land
exchange
be
accomplished
within
three
years
of
the
date
of
execution
of
the
letter
of
agreement.
A
A
L
A
That
carries
now
I'll
ask
for
or
yeah
now
ask
for
a
vote
on
the
main
motion.
I'm
not
seeing
any
other
hands
raised
to
discuss
the
resolution
so
I'll
ask
the
secretary
to
take
the
role
on
the
resolution.
2021
204
with
the
amendment
that
we
just
voted
on.
C
C
President
president,
cogill
aye,
you
have
seven
eyes
and
two
absence.
A
That
carries
moving
on
to
reports
of
standing
committees,
the
administration
and
finance
committee,
chair
forney,
on.
H
Behalf
of
the
administration
and
finance
committee,
I'd
like
to
move
for
resolution,
2021
205
resolution
awarding
a
construction
contract
for
minnesota
native
landscapes
inc
in
the
amount
of
eight
hundred
and
ten
thousand
seven
hundred
fifty
five
dollars
for
kennel
worth
channel
naturalization
and
shoreline
stabilization
within
the
minneapolis
chain
of
lakes.
Regional
park
per
bid
event,
number
mpln1440,
pending
approval
by
city
of
minneapolis
procurement,
division
and
civil
rights
department,
authorizing
administrative
use
of
a
10
construction
contingency
up
to
eighty
one
thousand.
E
A
O
I
Thank
you,
president
cogill
commission,
music.
I
did
also
receive
that
notification
and
did
reach
out
to
our
contact
there
and
they
noted
that
they
are
operating
under
both
businesses
while
they
make
their
transition
to
mnl.
So
I
do
not
believe
an
amendment
is
necessary.
O
M
I
A
I
think
you
should
delegate
this
to
the
vice
chair,
who
is
not
present.
In
that
case,
I'll
read
the
motion.
Thank
you.
A
Not
the
bath
houses
resolution
has
been
moved.
Is
there
a
second
resolution
has
been
moved
and
seconded.
It's
noted
that
commissioner
horny
has
recused
herself
any
discussion
on
the
resolution.
H
G
D
M
C
T
L
A
A
That
carries
chair
40.
K
Yeah
can
staff
update
me
on
like
what?
What
are
the
changes
on
how
things
will
work
for
the
parkway
closures
from
the
status
quo?
I
mean,
I
see
you
know
a
lot
of
red
lines
in
the
document
that
you
know
say
that
we're
going
to
follow
the
mutcd
I
I
was
under
the
impression
that
we
already
had
to
so.
So
what
what
are
the
actual,
like
changes,
that
this
will
bring.
U
U
Regarding
these
particular
areas,
the
parkway
closures
are
to
require
approved
traffic
control
plan
consistent
with
the
standards
outlined,
as
you
said,
by
the
minnesota
manual
on
uniform
traffic
control
devices
before
we
will
issue
a
permit
and
we'll
look
to
our
internal
staff
and
betting
team
to
ensure
that
we
have
appropriate
methods
in
place
and
any
appropriate
traffic
control
personnel
in
place
to
do
so,
not
all
that
different,
but
wanted
to
be
more
concise.
U
In
saying
this,
we
were
looking
at
opportunities
to
tighten
up
the
permit
language,
so
we
can
continue
to
issue
permits
within
our
capacity
of
our
available
park,
police
officers
and
recognizing
the
frequency
of
events
and
how
often
park
police
officers
are
available
during
any
any
given
interval.
All
while
collating
with
our
board
policy
on
the
limited
number
of
parkway
closures
per
prequel
section
per
month,.
K
So
are:
are
people
going
to
notice
any
difference
in
practice
after
we
make
these
changes
or
are
they
are
they
just
kind
of
you
know
putting
in
into
writing
what
we,
what
what
has
already
been
happening.
U
President
quoguel,
commissioner
meyer,
I
don't
think
that
general
public
will
notice
any
difference.
The
permit
policy
lays
out
a
foundation
by
which
we
issue
permits
and
work
with
our
permit
holders
to
help
to
produce
events
on
park
property.
So,
in
short,
no
okay.
A
L
L
I
P
Yeah
I
apologize,
I
was
having
technical
difficulties.
Is
it
possible
that
I
can
be
recorded
as
a
yes
on
the
roaring
club
agreement?
I
was
trying
to
get
back
in
as
soon
as
I
could
I'll.
A
Ask
our
council
whether
or
not
that
is
possible
or
whether
or
not
we've
had
to
move
on
or
we'd
have
to
have
a
motion
to
reconsider,
I'm
not
quite
sure
yeah.
Thank
you.
T
A
Okay,
am
I
not
seeing
any
objection
from
other
commissioners?
I
will
allow
for
that
and
ask
the
secretary
what
the
vote
count.
A
Okay
and
reversal
from
the
past
calling
president.
Thank
you,
commissioner
steverson.
That
means
that
the
item
resolution
2021
206,
carries
moving
into
unfinished
business.
We
have
one
item
here.
It's
resolution,
2021
212.,
I'll,
move.
This
resolution,
which
is
approving
an
amendment
amended
fundraising
agreement
with
voices
of
the
roses.
A
non-profit
corporation
with
501c3
designation,
with
a
fiscal
sponsor
agent
in
the
minneapolis
park
foundation,
an
incorporated
nonprofit
with
a
501c3
organization
for
fundraising,
related
to
the
lindale
park,
rose
garden.
A
E
A
O
A
A
G
A
That
carries,
we
have
two
discussion
items
this
evening:
the
first
being
park,
naming
discussion
for
two
park
sites,
speaker
site
and
the
tower
side
signature
screen
space.
A
I
will
turn
it
over
to
the
deputy
superintendent
to
kick
off
this
conversation,
and
then
we
will
have
a
bit
of
a
presentation
and
a
little
bit
of
discussion
and
guidance
from
commissioners
about
naming
opportunity
at
these.
C
Sites,
thank
you,
president
coghill,
where
I
will
actually
let
carrie
christensen
start
out
and
then
I
will
come
in
next.
S
Good
evening,
president
board
of
commissioners
tonight
we're
going
to
share
an
update
on
a
naming
process
that
has
been
long
underway
for
two
new
parts
in
the
system,
as
well
as
just
providing
a
little
bit
of
context
on
the
naming
policy
in
general.
So
we're
gonna.
S
First
start
with
secretary
ringgold
or
deputy
superintendent
ringgold
discussing
and
sharing
a
little
bit
about
park,
naming
policy,
and
then
I
will
cover
terror,
side,
signature,
green
space
and
then
out
of
director
at
the
adam
arvidson,
we'll
talk
about
cpro
site,
so
we'll
sort
of
have
this
trifecta
presentation
and
then
we'll
open
it
up
for
discussion
and
we'll
start
with
similar
order.
S
A
C
C
We
have
a
couple
of
things
that
guide
us
as
an
organization
around
naming,
first
and
foremost,
our
charter
6.2
of
the
charter
under
powers
and
functions
has
a
section
f
regarding
reality,
and
in
that
section
it
talks
about
requiring
a
super
majority
vote
for
certain
actions
and,
in
particular
those
actions
related
to
buying
leasing
or
name
or
renaming
reality
with
at
least
six
affirmative
votes.
So
at
the
core
of
where
we
begin
the
conversation
around
naming,
we
begin
with
a
six-vote
requirement.
C
In
addition
to
that,
we
have
a
layer
of
policy
established
on
top
of
that,
our
policy
has
not
changed.
We
have
been
working
on
some
modifications
to
policy
that
would
allow
for
naming
for
monetary
contributions,
but
at
this
point
we
are
still
working
under
policies
related
to
naming
for
non-monetary
contributions.
So
there
are
several
different
aspects
of
the
existing
policy.
C
C
However,
that
two-year,
if
you
read
this
policy
in
its
entirety,
that
two-year
is
really
focused
on
in
naming
after
an
individual.
So
there
may
be
leeway
if
you're
not
naming
after
an
individual
for
a
naming
to
not
take
as
long
so
addition
to
charter
and
policy,
we
have
several
procedures
and
these
procedures
go
into
pretty
considerable
detail,
especially
in
terms
of
how
to
address
a
naming
of
a
park
in
relation
to
an
individual.
C
So
there
needs
to
be
a
nomination
and
that's
kind
of
the
core
function
of
some
of
the
work
we
want
to
do
with
you
tonight
is
that
in
some
of
the
cases
that
both
carrie
and
adam
will
bring
forward,
there
have
been
community
processes
that
have
resulted
in
many
possible
names,
and
so
we
need
to
get
that
down
to
a
single
nomination
to
move
forward
with.
Once
we
have
a
nomination,
then
there's
a
series
of
steps
we
do
to
ensure
that
community
is
notified.
C
There
is
a
requirement
specifically
for
two
public
hearings,
and
that
is
is
really
benchmarked
around
the
naming
for
individuals
and
in
particular,
though,
the
vote
cannot
be
taken
two
years
before
to
within
this.
It
has
to
be
taken
after
two
years
of
the
nomination
might
be
a
better
way
to
say
that
at
those
public
hearings
that
are
referenced,
there's
the
at-large
commissioners
and
the
commissioner
from
the
affected
district
must
be
in
attendance,
and
if
those
commissioners
aren't
in
attendance,
the
nomination
is
immediately
void,
but
it
can
be
resubmitted.
C
That
would
need
to
be
changed
so
it
the
procedure
asks
us
to
consider
that
and
then,
if
the
park
falls
within
the
regional
park
system
or
provides
a
city-wide
function,
there's
a
consideration
of
looking
to
the
metropolitan
parks
and
open
space
commission,
as
well
as
the
state
state,
historic
preservation
officer
to
get
feedback
on
those
name.
Changes.
C
There
is
a
policy
revision
pending
on
that
particular
one
that
we
hope
to
bring
back
to
the
board
yet
this
year.
So
tonight
what
we
are
really
looking
for
through
this
discussion
item
is
to
gauge
commissioner
preference
around
possible
names
and
then
from
there.
What
you
will
see
come
forward
to.
You
is
a
resolution
that
would
set
the
direction
of
approving
a
possible
nomination.
So
we'd
have
a
single
name
to
work
with
for
each
of
those
parks,
and
then
following
that,
then
we
follow
the
naming
procedure
after
that.
C
M
S
The
park
that
is,
I
can
hear
an
echo
in
the
back
the
tar,
the
park
that
is
now
coming
forward
before
you
is
a
relatively
new
park
in
our
system.
Next
slide,
please
it's
nestled
in
what
is
starting
to
be
known
as
the
tara
side,
innovation
district,
and
this
is
a
master
plan
for
that
district
that
was
approved
in
the
east
of
the
river
park
master
plan.
S
You
can
see
the
blue
line
that
traces
through
the
district
is
actually
the
proposed
route
for
the
grand
rounds,
missing
lake
and
then
the
park
that
is
going
to
be
discussed
tonight
is
just
kind
of
to
the
to
the
bottom
left
of
of
this
master
plan
next
slide.
Please.
S
Here's
a
closer
look
at
it,
so
it
falls
in
the
prospect
park.
Neighborhood
very
close
to
the
university
of
minnesota
adjacent
to
the
prospect
park,
light
rail
station,
and
this
is
a
new
park
for
us.
It
came
online
in
2019
and
there's
a
really
exciting
new
community
garden
space.
S
Light
rail,
plaza,
there's
an
open
green
space
for
for
the
residents.
It's
a
it's
a
it's
a
district,
that's
newly
emerging
in
terms
of
residential
density
and
there's
also
an
adjacent
stormwater
park
sort
of
space
that
is
actually
managed
by
the
mississippi
watershed
management
organization,
so
really
interesting,
kind
of
shared
space
and
extended
park
happening
in
collaboration
with
them
next
slide.
Please
again,
this
is
approved
in
the
adopted
in
the
east
of
the
river
park
master
plan,
and
it
has
no
name
so.
S
We've
been
calling
it
tower
side,
signature
green
space,
which
was
sort
of
a
holdover
from
the
developer
that
we
worked
in
partnership
to
develop
the
park
with
and
then
ended
up
purchasing
the
improved
park
from-
and
so
here
is
the
these
are
renderings
depicting
the
park
in
very
pretty
accurate
depictions
of
what
it
looks
like
today,
really
lovely
picnic
pavilion
if
you
haven't
been
over
there
highly
encourage
it
it's
at
4th
and
29th
in
the
prospect
park.
Neighborhood
next
slide.
Please.
S
S
There
was
actually
a
temporary
community
garden
there
that
was
in
place
for
several
years
and
the
community
garden
that
there
is
there
today
looks
different
but
is
and
sort
of
it's
managed
by
the
park
board,
but
holding
true
to
that
original
nature
of
the
site
or
that
more
recent
nature
of
the
site.
S
S
That's
near
the
transit
way,
which
is
the
university
of
minnesota
transit
way,
which
is
an
adjacent
land
owner
to
the
park
as
well
so
tower
side.
Innovation
district
again
is
the
name
of
the
district.
So
it's
just
to
provide
a
little
bit
of
geographical
naming
context,
ownership
contact
for
the
site
as
we
consider
what
they
name
it.
So
bridalveil
regional
trail
is
called
out
in
the
master
plan,
and
that
is
intended
to
be
the
future
name
which
is
not
yet
come
forward
as
a
nomination.
S
But
the
future
name
of
the
grand
round's
missing
link,
which
again,
was
that
blue
line
tracing
through
the
master
plan
intended
to
go
all
the
way
up,
traverse
across
the
rail
yard,
eventually
and
all
the
way
up
to
saint
anthony,
parkway
and
stinson.
S
S
The
grain
silos
are
adjacent
to
the
site,
so
there
is
a
really
industrial
history
of
the
site
as
well
and
then
finally,
green
forth
is
also
a
name
that
people
have
applied
to
the
street
adjacent
to
the
site.
There's
a
lot
of
really
interesting
storm
water
management
and
new
amenities
that
have
sprung
up
as
part
of
the
taro
side.
Innovation,
district,
public
realm
improvements
in
partnership
with
the
watershed
district.
S
Well,
just
to
provide
a
little
additional
context
for
the
site
and
all
the
names
that
have
sort
of
been
in
play,
as
we
think
about
the
name
of
this
park
next
slide,
please
so,
as
was
mentioned
earlier,
you
know.
One
of
the
unique
things
about
this
naming
process
is
that
we
have
the
opportunity,
similar
to
cipro,
to
engage
about
what
should
we
name
this
park
in
the
as
we
were
designing
it.
So
it's
a
new
park.
S
We
were
out
in
community
having
conversations
during
the
master
planning
process
and
then
during
the
designing
process,
and
so
we
were
able
to
integrate
this
question
of
hey
and
also
what
do
you
think
we
should
name
it
and
why
so
there
we
shared
multiple
options
that
came
forward
in
the
master
planning
process
with
community
had
them
rank
it
during
the
design
process.
S
I've
heard
from
folks
via
survey
filled
out
by
local
community
members,
students,
gardeners,
lrt
writers
and
neighborhood
organization
participants,
a
pretty
good
engagement
in
terms
of
who
we
heard
from
around
naming
ideas,
as
well
as
the
design
concept.
Next
slide,
please,
oh,
this
was
these
were
the
names
that
were
put
forward
in
the
ranking
during
the
design
process,
so
we
solicited
nominations
for
the
new
park
and
we
asked
whenever,
as
per
the
for
the
naming
policy,
we
asked.
What
name
do
you
recommend
and
then
what
is
your
justification.
S
S
But
then
we
also
had
a
fill
in
the
blank
with
other
name
ideas
and
that
was
at
58.
So
it
was
very
clear
that
there
was
lots
of
other
ideas
so
next
slide.
Please.
S
So
we're
bringing
forward
now
the
names
that
came
out
of
sort
of
the
fill
in
the
blank
option
and
again
the
majority
of
the
preferences
included
these
options
that
were
not
on
the
predetermined
list,
and
that
includes
these
five
I'd
say
really
were
the
most
the
most
popular
they
came
out
again
and
again
in
that
survey,
as
name
suggestions,
so
number
one
is
mary,
alice,
cop
or
not
park.
S
Excuse
me,
we
could
go
back
to
the
slide,
please
and
then
a
name
of
significance
for
dakota
people,
the
name
of
the
african-american
family
who
lived
in
prospect
park
in
the
early
1900's
that
was
discriminated
against
by
the
neighbors
number.
Four,
nothing
to
do
with
the
word
tower,
so
it
does
not
get
confused
with
tower
hill
and
then
five
something
to
do
with
garden
or
park
to
to
kind
of
you
know,
bring
to
light
that.
S
There's
a
community
garden
there
in
the
history
of
the
more
recent
community
garden
history
there
next
slide,
please
so
out
of
that
list,
we
bring
before
you
three
recommendations
and
what
we,
what
we'd
love
for
the
board
to
do
tonight.
So
following
adam's
presentation
on
cpr
is
to
think
about
which
one
of
these?
S
If
any,
would
you
like
to
nominate
to
be
the
the
name
nomination
for
this
park
and
then
we'll
go
through
the
procedures
that
were
outlined
by
secretary
ringgold,
bringing
it
forward
through
a
public
hearing
and
a
more
formal
domination
process?
The
nomination
will
be
prepared
by
staff.
Based
on
your
guidance.
S
We
have
a
quick
point
of
clarification.
I
see
a
raised
hand.
A
Yeah,
commissioner,
music
and
just
for
clarity-
yes,
I
I'm
wondering,
is
it?
Is
it
possible
for
us
to
have
this
discussion
while
it's
fresh
in
our
minds
on
the
tower
side
site
first
or
is
it
everybody's
recommendation
that
we
wait
till
the
end.
S
President
kogila,
absolutely
I
I
think
it's
it's
absolutely
there's
we'd
like
to
have
it.
We
can
also
come
back
to
this
slide,
so
we're
open
to.
O
S
These
three,
these
three
name
ideas
rose
up
to
the
top
in
terms
of
preference
from
the
community
engagement
efforts,
and
so
these
are
the
three
that
we
suggest
are
considered.
But
absolutely
can
you
know
we
can
open
it
up
for
a
larger
discussion
and
consider
the
names
on
the
other
list
as
well.
O
D
O
I
think
we've
seen
that
the
parks
named
after
people
tend
to
need
to
be
renamed
at
some
point
in
the
future,
so
I
prefer
that
we
that
we
stay
away
from
names
that
are
associated
with
people.
E
A
K
Yeah,
I
would
agree
that
you
know
I
have
a
preference
to
avoid
naming
because
after
people,
I
would
also
like
to
avoid
any
names
that
are
too
similar
to
other
existing
park
names,
and
I
think
that's
the
case
for
tower
side.
So
I
was
kind
of
surprised
that
it
got
the
highest
ranking
out
of
those
that
were
put
forward,
because
I
mean
there's
already
a
a
tower
hill
and
the
tower
hill
park
is
the
one
that's
next
to
the
tower
tower
side.
Everything.
K
But
this
thing
we're
temporarily
climbing
tower
site
is
not
next
to
any
power,
so
it
doesn't
make
any
sense.
I
think
that
would
also
apply,
I
think,
both
of
them
both
of
the
things
we
just.
K
Apply
to
jackson,
I
mean
which
jackson
are
we
naming
this
after?
I
guess
there
are
a
lot
of
them.
I
certainly
would
not
want
it
to
be.
I
wouldn't
want
anyone
to
think
it's
andrew
jackson,
and
the
other
thing
is
that
we
already
have
jackson
square
park,
so
it
would
be
confusing,
and
so
I
prefer
not
to
have
those.
H
S
Yeah,
so
if
we
can
advance
forward,
I
could
give
a
quick
context
for
each
of
the
names.
That'd
be
helpful.
Yes,
thank
you,
so
the
the
as
I
mentioned
you
know
we
asked
for
name
ideas
and
then
justification
to
go
with
that,
and
so
this
particular
name
was
named
after
the
african-american
family
who
lived
in
the
prospect
park
neighborhood
in
the
early
1900s.
S
Please
so
for
mary
alice,
not
park
or
garden
again
from
the
early
1970s
until
2016
mary
alice
worked
as
a
realtor
and
restorer
of
old
homes
in
the
twin
cities,
he
was
active
in
community
leadership
for
the
prospect
park,
east
river
road
improvement
association
and
was
involved
with
hennepin
historical
society,
the
minnesota
historical
society.
She
co-authored
the
book
under
the
witch's
hat
and
illustrated
two
children's
books.
S
So
there's
quite
quite
a
number
of
nominations
related
to
her
next
slide.
Please
and
then
finally,
the
dakota
language
turn
and
there's
an
asterisk
term.
There's
an
asterisk
there,
because
this
this
idea
was
brought
forward
in
several
sort
of
ways
more
broadly,
and
I
think
certainly,
staff
would
recommend
additional
engagement
with
tribal
leadership
and
native
communities
to
determine
to
do
more
research
and
more
engagement
on
this
idea.
S
So
and
this
this
quote,
is
from
someone
that
had
provided
a
justification
for
one
example
of
a
term
that
might
be
used,
which
is
the
dakota
term
for
north
star,
and
also
related
to
this
idea
of
of
how
everyone
of
all
different
backgrounds
can
come
together
in
unity
to
call
minnesota
home.
Just
as
dakota
people
have
for
centuries.
S
All
right,
so
those
are
just
a
little
more
context
on
each
of
the
names
that
came
to
the
top
tonight,
but
I'm
still
I'm
taking
notes,
and
so
out
of
this
we
absolutely
can
continue
the
discussion
and
we'll
prepare
a
nomination
to
continue
the
discussion
at
some
stage.
But
I
like
to
open
it
back
up
for
commissioner
discussion
ideas.
H
Well,
I
was
just
going
to
finish
it.
Thank
you,
sorry,
yeah,
for
the
clarification
on
the
dakota
name
and
everything.
I
guess
I
disagree
about
the
fact
of
naming
it
for
people.
I
mean
our
most
recent
things
that
we
have
been
naming
have
been
after
people,
so
I
I
I
I'm
not
sure
that
I
do
agree
with
that.
Persuasion
and
everything,
and
I
guess
you
know
kerry.
H
What
was
confusing
is
that
initially
you
presented
tower
side,
the
the
various
ones
and
you
put
the
percentages
on
there,
and
so
I
think
we
were
feeling
that
oh
well,
then
obviously
tower
side
got
the
most,
and
so
that's
why
I
think
we're
a
little
bit
confused
as
far
as
what
the
community's
response
to
these
three
names.
H
Can
you
give
a
little
bit
better
understanding?
I
mean
you
know
where
they're
10,
whether
50
you
know
percentage,
is
something
because
I
would
really
like
this
to
be
a
community
decision
rather
than
just
purely
us,
so
yeah
there
was
a
little
bit
of
confusion
there.
Thank.
S
Ground
for
us
to
to
navigate
as
well.
So
thank
you
so
president,
commissioner
forney,
if
we
we
do
want
to
go,
we
could
go
back
to
the
slide.
The
previous
slide,
that
outlines
those
percentages,
and
I
can
clarify
here
so
just
to
be
clear.
A
W
Thank
you,
president
coghill.
I
would
just
like
to
add
that
you
know
I
like
naming
things
after
people
who
are
deserving
there's
this
story
about
the
marvel
jackson
cook
family-
I
wouldn't
know
so
this
would
be
a
great
way
to
highlight
some
folks
in
our
communities
that
you
know
we
don't
hear
about
every
day,
but
that's
one
way
that
we
honor
them
is
by
naming
things
after
them.
So
I'm
I
like
naming
things
after
people,
especially
folks
who
we
wouldn't
necessarily
know
about
thanks
for
bringing
this
forward.
O
Thank
you,
president
coco.
I
guess.
O
O
I
don't
know
if
it
would
make
sense
to
also
have
them
consider,
since
it
looked
like
from
the
master
plan.
Now
that
I
pulled
it
up
this.
The
primary
purpose
of
this
park
is
community
gardening.
O
If
it
might
be
appropriate
to
consider
the
zoopy,
which
is,
I
believe,
how
you
pronounce
garden
in
dakota
as
one
of
the
choices
to
be
considered
in
that
winnowing
down
of
of
naming
choices
for
this
space
yeah,
because
just
with
the
feedback
we've
gotten
so
far,
it
seems
like
there's
not
a
whole
lot
of
consensus
around
what
the
park
should
be
named
when
there
was
a
ton
of
choices
on
the
on
the
table.
O
So
now
that
we
have
like
the
top
two
choices
from
the
initial
list
and
then
three
new
choices,
perhaps
we
could
go
back
and
ask
for
additional
input
from
the
neighborhood
in
which
the
park
is
located.
S
May
I
may
I
just
a
little
point
of
information
share
a
little
bit
more
context.
So
thank
you.
So
the
there's
also
the
opera.
You
know
we'll
have
a
public
hearing,
which
is
also
a
great
time
to
hear
from
community
and
we'll
broadly
share
out,
of
course,
as
we
do
with
public
hearing
procedures
and
broadly
advertise
the
nomination
process
at
that
point.
O
H
Thank
you.
I
I
think
almost
all
of
us
know
that
things
are
very,
very
personal.
They're
very,
shall
I
say
intimate
you
know
whether
you
choose
fred
or
george.
You
know
to
name
your
kid.
Whatever
it
gets,
it's
a
huge
process
and
I
guess
all
I
would
like
to
do
as
a
commissioner
is
to
extend
to
the
community.
H
This
is
an
opportunity
to
be
to
share
your
values,
I'll
call
it
you
know,
do
you
want
to
be
honorific?
Do
you
want
to
be
a
historic?
H
I
have
no
idea,
if
I
mean
nobody's
going
to
know
whether
or
not
jackson
someday
is
going
to
be
a
not
so
good
name
or
mary,
alice,
copp
or
or
whatever,
but
all
we
could
do
is,
I
could
say,
embrace
what
the
community
brings
to
us
and
and
and
like
I
say
you
know
it's
their
choice,
what
their
values
are
and
we
should
be
honoring
that
thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
commissioner
forney.
I
appreciate
the
discussion
and
I
thank
you
carrie
for
the
overview
and
considerations
here.
There's
a
lot
to
think
about
I'd
agree
with
the
vice
president.
I
really
think
that
marple
jackson
cook
park
as
long
as
it's
associated
with
some
sort
of
description
of
the
history
that
that
brought
about
that
naming
is,
is
a
good
really
good
way
to
go.
I
I
hear
the
the
the
need
to
have
community
engagement.
A
I
think
that
you
know
right
now
we're
sitting
with
kind
of
nothing
with
a
kind
of
innocuous
name
and
moving
forward
and
generating
the
discussion,
as
opposed
to
just
putting
back
on
a
neighborhood
might
be
the
way
to
get
that
that
discussion
and
back
and
forth
going
in
the
first
place,
and-
and
I
also
think
that
you
know,
considerations
of
equity
sometimes
require
the
leaders
who
are
actually
making
the
decision
about
the
names
to
kind
of
look
into
this
a
little
bit.
A
Consider
it
have
this
discussion
and,
and
maybe
try
and
at
least
suggest
something
so
that's
that's.
My
initial
thinking
is:
is
that
that
first
name
seems
really
good,
especially
if
it's
the
full
picking
the
full
name.
A
I
I'm
open
to
having
a
broader
discussion,
but
the
equity
consideration,
I
think,
is
really
important
and
since
there's
been
a
little
bit
of
work
done
to
kind
of
investigate
history
here,
if
we
are
going
to
have
additional
conversation
with
the
community
group
or
whoever
the
public
really
means
here,
you
know
we
do
have
a
neighborhood
association.
We
also
have
u
students
and
folks
who
travel
in
the
area
and
people
who
who
work
in
the
area.
A
S
Need
yeah.
Thank
you,
president.
Thank
you,
commissioners.
I
may
just
ask
for
if,
if
secretary
ringgold
has
anything
to
add
around
that,
if
so,
if
we
were
to
move
toward
a
nomination,
marvel
jackson
cook
parker
garden,
what
would
be
the?
Could
you
just
remind
us
of
the
procedures?
So
it
is
a
there's
a
two
year
right
period
built
into
our
policy,
and
I
think
some
of
the
vetting
that
we're
discussing
you,
you
know
you're
bringing
up
here,
might
be
built
into
that
process,
and
I
don't
know
if
there's
anything
more,
you
can
share.
C
C
I
believe
the
first
one
used
to
be
within
the
first
six
months,
the
nomination
and
the
the
last
one
needs
to
be
within.
I
want
to
say
two
or
three
months
of
the
final
I'd
have
to
pull
back
up
that
slide
to
be
confirmed
about
it,
but
there's
there's
a
timing
for
each
of
those
public
hearings
in
relation
to
that
two-year
time
period,
and
then
we
need
to
have
at-large
commissioners
and
the
commissioner
from
the
district,
at
both
of
those
public
hearings.
A
L
A
Thank
you,
deputy
superintendent,
I'll
turn
it
over
to
director
robertson
for
our
second
discussion
on
naming.
X
Thank
you,
president
coghill
and
commissioners
I'm
going
to
take
over
here
and
talk
a
bit
about
the
steprow
green
space
or
the
c
pro
site.
I
do
want
to
reiterate
on
the
conversation
about
process
too,
that
we
recognize
that
this
is
somewhat
imperfect,
we're
trying
to
find
a
way
to
ensure
that
the
policy
is
followed,
but
also
to
honor
the
fact
that
people
do
bring
a
lot
of
different
ideas
to
the
table.
X
So
this
is
really
meant
to
be
a
balance
of
that,
and
I
should
reiterate
that
if
we
bring
a
nomination
forward
and
if
that
begins
moving
through
the
process
and
if,
for
some
reason,
a
board
decides
that
that's
not
the
appropriate
name,
a
nomination
can
be
withdrawn
and
we
can
start
over,
and
that
is
why
there
is
a
waiting
period
and
it
is
why
there
are
public
hearings.
So
by
making
a
nomination
we're,
certainly
not
locking
into
that
being
the
name
of
the
park.
X
You
would
make
that
ultimate
decision
after
a
thorough
vetting,
so
the
c
pro
site,
if
you
could
go
to
the
next
slide
secretary
ringgold
on
the
sea
pro
site,
is
a
a
small
park
that
was
acquired
by
the
park
board
for
free
from
hennepin
county.
X
It
sits
immediately
adjacent
to
the
midtown
greenway,
which
you
can
see
at
the
bottom
of
this
graphic,
and
it
is
between
10th
avenue
and
11-11
avenues.
South.
It
is
adjacent
to
in
kitty
corner
from
the
midtown
global
market
in
the
midtown
phillips
neighborhood
next
slide
so
c
pro
the
separa
site
is
1.65
acres.
It
was
the
site
of
the
seapro
grain
elevators.
X
In
addition,
throughout
the
years
the
midtown
phillips
neighborhood
association
has
provided
funding
to
the
site
community
engagement
and
programming
in
partnership
with
hennepin
county
in
january
of
20
2019.
Many
of
you
may
remember
this.
This
board
of
commissioners
did
approve
a
land
transfer
of
the
site
to
mprb,
and
that
was
a
free
transfer.
X
X
Shortly
after
that
january
board
resolution
staff
did
open
and
advertise
an
online
survey
to
solicit
name
ideas
similar
to
what
kerry
has
done.
With
the
tower
side
signature
green
space.
We
essentially
had
a
survey
running
to
solicit
open-ended
ideas
for
the
cpro
site.
X
We
did
at
that
time
coordinate
with
midtown
phillips,
notify
them
of
the
survey
and
we
encouraged
advertising
engagement.
I
did-
and
I
do
believe
they
did
some
of
that.
The
survey
actually
remained
open
for
more
than
two
years
and
it
closed
just
recently
in
april,
as
we
began
as
we
began
to
prepare
for
this
presentation.
X
That
survey
garnered
230
responses-
and
I
know
maybe
all
of
your
eyes
darted
to
the
bottom
of
this
as
soon
as
the
slide
went
up,
so
I
have
to
chuckle
and
tell
you
that
parky
mcpark
face
or
derivatives
thereof,
actually
garnered
22
votes,
which
was
one
of
the
higher
vote.
Getters,
I'm
not
going
to
talk
about
parky
mcparkface
tonight
we're
going
to
talk
about
some
other
ideas,
but
in
the
spirit
of
body
mcboatface
and
plowy
mcplowface.
We
do
have
those
interest
in
that,
for
this
particular
part.
Next
slide.
X
On
a
more
serious
note,
the
survey
responses
do
range
quite
widely,
but
there
are
several
emergent
themes
coming
forward
for
the
c
pro
site.
48
responses
out
of
the
230
do
suggest
naming
for
specific
people
other
than
prince,
we'll
get
to
prince
in
a
minute,
but
none
of
these
namesakes
garners
any
more
than
three
votes
each.
X
X
The
main
themes
overall
include
these
five
that
rose
to
the
top
midtown
park
or
something
very
similar
to
that
garnered
about
nine
percent
of
the
total
vote.
Greenway
park
was
about
eight
percent
of
the
total
vote.
There
was
a
constellation
of
names
that
referenced
prince,
prince
rogers
nelson
purple
rain
park.
That
was
about
five
percent
of
the
vote
and
names
referencing,
specifically
sea
pro
or
grain
elevators
in
honor
of
the
history
of
the
site
garnered
about
four
percent
of
the
book.
X
X
I
want
to
go
through
just
really
quickly
a
couple
of
things
that
people
were
saying
about
some
of
these
different
name
ideas.
Just
so
you
can
hear
what
the
community
was
thinking
when
it
brought
these
forward.
So
in
terms
of
naming
something
midtown
park,
midtown
common
or
midtown
gateway.
X
It
is
simple,
straightforward
and
quickly
calls
to
mind
where
it
is
within
the
city
of
minneapolis.
Also,
the
neighborhood
could
gain
some
solidity
by
having
a
park
that
honors
its
name
similar
to
powderhorn
park
nearby
and
the
last
one
is
it
would.
It
would
be
a
celebration
of
the
special
area
which
has
seen
a
lot
of
revitalization
and
community
spirit
in
recent
years.
X
X
As
we
come
to
greenway
park
here,
people
are
really
focused
on
the
location
of
the
park.
Also
simple,
inviting
timeless
easy
to
remember
and
clear
about
where
the
park
is
located,
it's
the
biggest
gateway
to
the
greenway.
It's
not
the
name
of
a
person
it
plays
on
the
greenway.
It
is
simple
non-controversial
and
explains
pretty
much
right
where
it
is.
Who
could
argue
with
that
next
slide,.
X
With
regard
to
prince,
there
were
suggestions
for
prince
park
purple
rain
park,
prince
rogers
nelson
park.
I
think
the
focus
here
is
that
prince
was
really
just
a
staple
of
the
state
and
specifically
minneapolis
he's
very
well
known.
His
dedication
to
the
city
warrant
and
honor
prince
is
from
south
minneapolis.
The
park
is
not
far
from
where
he
grew
up.
I
think
there
are
several
different
geographies
that
are
related
to
prince.
X
X
And
some
people
talked
about
referencing
cpro
in
the
grain,
the
history
of
the
site,
honoring,
the
history
of
the
area
with
the
former
name,
it
honors
the
grain
elevators,
along
with
the
milling,
his
milling
industry,
elevated
minneapolis,
and
it's
a
combination
of
the
historic
and
the
current
context
on
the
site
next
slide.
X
X
However,
I
would
note,
in
contrast
to
that,
that
midtown
phillips
was
notified
about
the
naming
survey
and
they
were
made
involved
in
that
there
are
several
respondents
that
did
specifically
note
that
they
live
in
the
area.
The
survey
was
open
for
two
years,
and
so
there
probably
was
a
lot
of
opportunity
for
people
who
live
in
the
community
to
learn
about
this
and
to
contribute
their
thoughts.
X
I
also
want
to
note
that
there
seemed
to
be
a
general
feeling
at
this
park
in
particular
that
a
location-based
name
would
be
better
than
naming
the
park
for
a
person.
There
was
only
one
person
around
which
there
was
any
consensus
at
all
and
that
was
prince,
and
then
I
would
say
that
the
names
in
the
non-english
languages
here
were
quite
varied
as
to
subject
and
language,
and
there
was
very
little
consensus
around
them.
I
think
it
would
be
very
difficult
to
pick
one
that
would
appeal.
X
There
was
just
not
not
a
lot
of
cohesion
around
it.
I
believe
that
is
my
last
slide.
Could
you
flash
forward
just
once
secretary
yeah?
Let's
come
back
to
naming
on
the
horizon
after
we
have
the
conversation
about
this
name.
So
with
that,
I
will
turn
it
back
to
you,
president
kogil,
to
talk
about
the
c
pro
site
and
I'm
going
to
take
notes.
A
Thank
you.
Director,
arvidsson
just
want
to
note
or
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
this
survey
occurred
before
the
murder
of
george
floyd
right,
like
it
closed
before.
X
X
President
coghill
ideas
were
trickling
in
through
that
whole
time,
but
less
so
in
in
the
recent
memory.
It
was
really
promoted
more
in
the
beginning
and
not
so
much,
and
certainly
not
around
the
murder
of
george
point.
Okay,.
O
Governor
the
midtown
park
suggestions
resonate
with
me
a
little
bit
more
than
greenway
park
since
it's
more
indicative
of
the
location,
the
greenway
is
really
long
and
to
call
something
that
might
confuse
people
about
where
it
would
be
if
they
were
trying
to
find
something
based
on
location.
A
H
Well,
once
again,
I
I
just
want
to
support
the
community.
I
believe
that
they,
you
know
they
should
be
the
ones
that
are
choosing
this.
The
only
thing
that
I'm
just
curious
about
is
was
the
word
always
park.
Y
U
H
Suggested
or
were
they
put
in
or
were
they
actual
names
that
the
people
came
up
with?
I
I
mean
midtown
is
that
area,
so
I
I
see
it
very
much
as
identifying
the
place,
but
just
curious
whether
or
not
midtown.
H
X
President
cogill
commissioner
forney
secretary
ringgold,
can
we
go
back
to
the
slide?
It's
maybe
about
three
slides
ago,
one
more
so,
commissioner
foreign
president
cogill.
These
three
names
here
were
actually
suggested
by
community
members.
H
X
Most
of
the
people
who
voted
in
the
midtown
sort
of
cluster
of
names
were
suggesting
midtown
park.
However,
there
were
a
couple
of
suggestions:
each
for
midtown,
common
and
midtown
gateway.
H
Up,
thank
you
not
like
the
first
one.
No,
like
you
say
I
mean
in
some
ways
I
would
go
towards
gateway
just
because
it
is
something
unique
and
different,
but
it
is
the
community
I
feel,
who
won,
who
should
be
making
the
final
decision?
Thank
you.
A
Not
seeing
other
comments,
my
my
my
thought
here
is
just
the
adjacency
to
george
floyd
square
and
not
right
there,
but
it's
in
the
south
side
of
minneapolis,
and
I
just
wonder
if
we're
having
this
conversation
today,
if
we'd
have
maybe
much
different
or
somewhat
different
answers,
but
this
gets
to
a
whole
question
of
how
engagement
works
and
timing
of
those
things.
A
But
I
do
wonder
about
that,
as
we
haven't
necessarily
gone
into
thinking
about
renaming
any
public
spaces
for
george
floyd.
I
know
that
that
has
been
something
that
has
perennially
kind
of
popped
up
here
and
there
over
the
last
year.
So
something
to
that,
I
think,
should
maybe
be
a
consideration
as
we
move
forward.
A
Well,
I
don't
want
to
get
too
into
the
details
of
how
we
do
the
survey,
but
I
was
quite
enamored
by
the
minnesota
department
of
transportation's
approach
to
doing
naming
for
their
plows
this
last
winter,
and-
and
I
I
don't
know,
I
wonder
if,
following
a
similar
process,
might
garner
some
more
broad
interest
and
get
us
a
little
bit
stronger
data,
and
I
guess
I'm
not
seeing
any
other
questions
or
comments
from
commissioners.
A
I
don't
know
if
I
provide.
I
don't
think
that
the
guidance
we've
heard
is
particularly
strong
for
one
name
or
another
at
this
point,
but
it
it
does
sound
like
there's
some
interest
in
broader
community
engagement
here.
I
would
note
to
commissioners,
though,
that
the
the
default,
if
we
don't
take
some
amount
of
action
or
kind
to
drive
this
conversation,
is
that
it
remains
just
something
called
the
site.
Cpro
site,
it's
an
acronym.
A
I
believe
it's
has
very
little
meaning,
and
so
I
do
see
the
the
value
in
us
pushing
something
forward
here
and
not
spinning
our
wheels
too
much.
It
would
be
nice
to
have
a
bit
of
a
different
place,
making,
as
commissioner
forney
said,
feel
to
this
space.
X
Do
have
one
final
slide,
just
kind
of
a
on
the
horizon
note
for
the
commissioners.
If
that's
okay,.
X
And
I'll
just
say,
with
regard
to
next
steps
on
this
matter,
carrie
and
secretary
secretary
ringgold,
and
I
will
get
together
and
we'll
figure
out
a
strategy
to
come
forward
based
on
the
feedback
we've
heard
today.
I
do
want
to
let
the
commissioners
know
that
there's
several
other
parts
that
we're
aware
of
where
nominations
have
either
been
made,
or
we
understand,
there's
some
interest
and
the
key
one
to
highlight
here.
X
There's
five
on
this
list,
but
the
key
one
to
highlight
here
is
sibley
park,
and
I
know
sibley
triangle
has
also
been
mentioned.
We
do
have
a
current
capital
improvement
project
tibbly
park
with
community
engagement
this
summer
and
we're
going
to
concurrently
ask
the
community
whether
that
name
should
be
changed
and
to
what
so
there's
a
pnc
in
front
of
you
tonight
for
that
community
engagement,
assessment
and
plan
to
do
both
the
capital
improvement
project
and
potential
renaming.
X
That
project
is
going
to
be
led
by
saeeda
lee
out
of
our
office,
as
well
as
with
a
project
manager
to
be
assigned.
I
just
want
to
note
that
that
one
is
on
the
horizon
and
we
expect
to
get
some
good
community
input
and
then
bring
something
forward
to
you
with
regard
to
that
particular
park.
Name
and
the
others
are
in
various
stages
of
completion,
and
that's
all
I
have.
A
H
Thank
you.
There's
lots
of
things
percolating
in
my
head.
How
did
we
come
up
with
the
name
of
the
26th
avenue
or.
I
X
At
this
point,
that
site
has
not
been
formally
named
by
the
board.
It
would
officially
be
part
of
above
the
falls
regional
park.
It
is
not
unusual
for
certain
sites
within
regional
parks
to
have
have
names
that
just
have
always
existed
like
beards
pleisons
on
on
lake
harriet,
the
the
lagoon
at
lake
of
the
isles.
So
there
are
parts
of
parks
there
that
tend
to
take
on
a
colloquial
name.
In
this
case,
I
guess
I
don't.
X
I
don't
know
what
the
necessity
would
be
of
officially
naming
the
26th
avenue
overlook
or
whether
it
would
remain
a
colloquial
name
within
the
larger
above
the
falls
regional
park.
H
X
I
believe,
commissioner
forney
president
kogil.
The
same
applies
as
what
I
just
described.
Technically
waterworks
is,
as
it
stands
right
now,
more
of
a
colloquial
name
for
a
portion
of
the
central,
mississippi,
riverfront
regional
park,
whose
name
was
proposed
to
be
changed
by
the
cac
for
that
master
plan.
So
that's
another
open
question
for
us
with
regard
to
names.
L
A
Thank
you,
commissioner.
Forney.
I'm
not
seeing
any
other
questions.
Thank
you,
director,
arminson.
Thank
you,
carrie.
Thank
you,
deputy
superintendent,
for
all
of
the
presentation
there
I'm
going
to
recess
the
full
board
and
turn
it
over
to
share
music
with
the
operations
and
environment
committee.
C
President
coca,
we
do
have
one
more
study
item.
The
open
foundation
is
here
with
us
tonight.
A
Oh,
my
apologies.
I
got
them
switched
up
there.
Thank
you.
I
will
reconvene
the
full
board
and
I
will
turn
it
over
to
deputy
superintendent
and
to
our
guests
this
evening.
I
believe
we
have
multiple
guests
here
tonight.
We
have
both
the
board
chair
and
our
new
executive
director
claire
for
the
representing
the
local
tonight,
so
welcome
both
of
you,
john
and
claire.
Thank
you
for
coming
this
evening
great
to
have
you
here
and
I'll
turn
it
over
to
the
deputy
superintendent
and
our
guests
to
go
through
their
presentation.
C
Oops,
sorry,
one
second,
I'm
giving
more
of
the
oh.
No
it's
going
the
wrong
way.
Okay,
sorry
about
that.
Commissioners,
I'm
sure
you
join
me
in
welcoming
claire
wilson
here
for
the
first
time
this
is
the
new
executive
director
for
the
lopitt
foundation.
C
Z
Z
So
it
is
really
meaningful
to
me
to
return
to
the
lopit
and
be
here
for
this
next
iteration.
Do
you
want
to
go
the
next
slide?
Jennifer?
Z
I
wanted
to
ground
us
a
little
bit
before
I
introduce
mike
and
john
and
just
say
that
this
next
iteration,
our
real
focus,
is
a
welcoming
and
inclusive
theater
worth
park
in
partnership
with
the
park
board,
and
I
just
if
you
all,
have
not
been
to
the
park
recently.
This
new
mural
was
just
put
up
and
it
makes
my
heart
so
happy.
Z
It
was
painted
by
the
students
you
see
there,
who
are
some
of
the
north
side
homeschoolers,
who
have
been
with
us
every
wednesday,
this
winter
and
now
every
monday
in
the
summer,
and
they
painted
bits
of
worth
that
felt
meaningful
to
them
and
then
an
artist
collaborated
with
them
to
create
this
mural.
And
so
this
welcomes
you
now
at
the
trailhead
and
it's
it's
quite
beautiful.
Z
So
that
is
what
I
would
hope
would
set
the
tone
for
our
quick
overview
tonight
of
our
annual
report
to
the
to
the
board,
and
this
is,
as
jennifer
said,
our
report
that
is
mandated
by
our
operating
agreement,
and
it
is
a
report
on
our
previous
fiscal
year
so
just
to
ground
everybody.
This
is
october,
1
2019
through
september
30th
2020.
Z
So
we're
in
the
pre-covered
winter
and
then
the
coveted
spring,
and
since
I
actually
have
little
responsibility
for
this
time
period,
I've
brought
with
me
our
board
president,
who
is
familiar
to
you
all
john
van
horn
and
then
our
chief
financial
officer,
who
also
presented
to
you
all
the
last
time
the
little
bit
reported
mike
birkebeck.
So
they
can
help
me
with
any
detailed
questions.
Z
But-
and-
and
finally
I
just
want
to
say
my
transition
over
these
past
few
months
has
been
made
ease,
filled
with
ease
and,
frankly,
quite
delightful
by
the
staff
to
staff
relationships
between
the
park
board
and
the
lot
bit
and
jennifer
and
her
staff
have
been
gracious
and
welcoming
and
truly
helped
to
ground
me
in
these
principled
documents
of
the
in
these
agreements.
So
I
am
very
grateful
and
very
much
looking
forward
to
our
partnership
moving
forward.
Z
Z
So
again,
there
was
a
very
strong
start
to
this
winter.
This
was
the
first
year
that
or
the
second
year,
rather
that
the
trailhead
was
fully
functional
and
operational.
In
the
winter
we
again
saw
a
great
increase
in
utilization.
There
was
a
15
increase
in
ski
pass
sales
and
the
the
trails
were
just
full
of
fat,
tire
bikers
and
people
tubing
and
steers
of
all
levels.
As
someone
who
was
at
the
park
quite
frequently
that
winter
I
can
say
it
was
a
total
joy
to
be
there.
Z
89
percent
of
users
rated
their
overall
experience
is
excellent.
According
to
our
agreement,
we
welcomed
many
community
members
during
that
winter,
as
well.
Over
450
north
side,
youth
came
and
did
day
trips
so
school
day,
trips
to
the
to
the
trailhead
and
that
included
transportation
and
skiing
and
tubing
and
instruction,
and
then
we
also
partnered
with
multiple
local
agencies,
including
project
success
and
redeemer
lutheran
church
to
offer
experiences
in
north
park
over
the
winter,
so
that
occurred
with
over
800
families.
Z
So
we
went
through
this
really
beautiful
strong
winter
and
then,
as
you
all
know,
it
was
discussed
in
the
the
previous
report.
We
we
hit
march
of
2020,
which
was
when
we
were
bringing
to
minneapolis
the
fasten
all
world
cup,
the
first
world
cup
on
u.s
soil
in
decades,
and
of
course,
that
event
became
one
of
the
first
major
events
to
be
cancelled
due
to
coved.
Z
Z
But
you
know,
then
we
had
to
shift
gears
very
quickly
into
covid
and
I
will
say
that
this
organization
did
a
really
good
job
of
responding
to
the
needs
of
the
community.
In
a
time
when
there
was
an
increased
demand
for
outdoor
activity
and
really
managed
to
continue
operations
through
that
spring
and
fall
despite
the
fact
that
the
trailhead
had
to
be
closed
to
the
public
and
despite
the
fact
that
there
was
some
vendor
transitions,
much
of
our
programming
at
the
trailhead
continued
outside
and
really
provided
some
great
programming
and
services
to
the
community.
Z
So
you
want
to
go
the
next
flight
jennifer
the
park
board
and
the
lopic
continued
to
make
some
true
investments
in
the
park.
To
assure
that,
we
were
meeting
and
really
exceeding
the
needs
of
the
community
that
were
coming
to
utilize
the
park.
So
again.
First,
this
the
second
year
the
trailhead
was
open.
Z
It
was
fully
opened
and
then
you
know
we
also
had
consistent
and
high
quality
grooming
at
columbia
and
hiawatha
and
the
chain
of
lakes,
and
I
will
say
that
continued
this
year
as
well-
and
it
is
a
really
great
opportunity
to
include
you-
know-
continue
exposure
to
those
parks
while
while
worth
continues
to
be
so
heavily
utilized,
we
continued
lighting
improvements.
Z
Z
Improvements
are
wonderful
and
a
lot
of
that
was
tied
in
with
kind
of
preparations
for
the
world
cup,
but
we
still
have
ongoing
challenges
and
some
of
those
are
around
creating
you
know
a
welcoming
environment,
the
trailhead
and
we'll
talk
about
those
a
little
bit
later
on,
but
really
lighting
and
creating
beginner
and
instructional
areas
is
huge
and
that's
also
just
a
huge
piece
of
creating
a
welcoming
environment.
Z
They
take
great
advantage
of
them,
but
we
need
to
continue
to
increase
access
for
beginner
skiers
and
so
also,
you
know,
light
some
more
beginner
loops
and
then,
as
you
all
know,
if
you
visited
the
park
at
all
this
year
or
have
been
here
in
the
past
two
years,
parking
is
an
issue
we
have
been
working
with
park,
board
staff
and
others
to
really
start
to
dig
into
what
some
long-term
solutions
to
that
challenge
could
be,
but
it
is
has
proven
to
be
very
difficult
and
even
moving
into
this
winter,
we're
just
experiencing
in
this
spring
and
summer.
Z
Already,
I'm
looking
at
a
completely
full
parking
lot
right
now,
so
we're
trying
to
balance
programming
schedules
and
community
demand
for
the
building,
with
our
extraordinarily
limited
parking
and
our
partners
at
the
chalet
join
us
and
feeling
both
challenged
by
that
and
ready
to
find
some
shared
solutions.
Z
This
is
just
illustrates
again
where
we
are
with
our
ski
pass
sales,
since
we
began
operating
the
ski
trails
at
theater
worth
park,
and
I
will
say
I'm
you
know
this
was
a
big
increase
for
us
in
1920
and
I
don't
want
to
steal
my
own
thunder
from
next
year.
So
I
will
just
preview
a
bit
by
saying
that
next
year's
bar
representing
this
past
winter,
will
be
off
the
charts,
we're
already
looking
at
a
25
increase
from
this
increase.
Z
According
to
our
operating
agreement,
we
have
some
thresholds
for
performance
that
we
are
required
to
meet,
and
I
am
thrilled
to
say
that
this
year
or
this
past
fiscal
year
we
met
or
exceeded
all
of
those
goals
that
were
outlined,
and
those
are
all
in
your
report,
so
you
can
dig
into
those.
I
just
wanted
to
lift
a
few
out
very
briefly
for
you
and
just
review
them
quickly.
One,
of
course,
is
that
our
operating
season
continues
to
expand
the
average
opening
date
prior
to
the
operating
agreement
was
january.
Z
Z
We
had
at
least
1780
visits
in
the
winter
by
youth,
our
youth
of
color,
and
that
is
300,
we're
outlined
in
our
agreement
goals
and
that
has
expanded
by
multipliers
for
this
past
winter
as
well.
I'm
really
excited
about
how
many
folks
are
using
our
tubing
hill.
That
has
been.
You
know.
There
is
a
lot
of
attachment
emotional
attachment
to
that
tubing
helm.
Z
We
continued
improvements
to
the
grading
and
to
the
tow
rope
and
we
had
over
328
two
being
hill
participants
that
should
just
be
tubing
hill,
not
just
paid,
which
is,
you
know,
almost
double.
What
was
what
was
occurring
during
the
baseline
year.
We
also
had
over
200
youth,
utilizing
our
mountain
bike
trails
and
then
600
youth
participants
and
camps
throughout
the
year,
and
that
includes
our
winter
camps
and
then
our
adventure
summer
camps,
which
have
become
quite
beloved
by
youth
across
the
city.
Z
So
those
are
just
a
few
of
our
key
highlights
from
the
threshold
agreement.
I
would
encourage
you
all
to
take
a
look
at
that
when
you
have
an
opportunity
you
want
to
do
the
next
slide
jennifer.
Z
So,
according
to
our
operating
agreement,
we
also
report
on
our
net
income
from
activities
generated
through
the
trailhead
and
this
year.
I
am
pleased
to
report
that
that
net
income
has
improved.
We
are
still,
of
course,
showing
a
loss,
but
that's
up
that's
a
62
improvement
over
the
previous
loss,
and
I
would
like
to
preview
for
you
that
that
will
be
different
also
next
fiscal
year,
but
we
did
have
it.
Income
pretty
pretty
similar
to
what
we
had
the
previous
year.
Z
We
did
go
through
vendor
transitions
and
there
were
you
know
some
additional
expenses
due
to
coved
and
the
closure
of
the
building,
but
we
are
moving
in
the
right
direction,
and
that
is
something
that
we
are
going.
That's
just
the
direction
we're
going
to
keep
going
for
the
time
being,
particularly
now
as
the
trailhead
is
stabilizing,
as
we
have
vendors
in
the
building
and
we
are
running
the
rental
shops
and
or
the
rental
shop,
and
you
know
and
we're
looking
at
hopefully
being
able
to
resume
activity
here
sooner
rather
than
later.
Z
So
last
two
winters
ago
now
we
completed
our
15th
year
of
the
mini
lopit
and
that's,
of
course,
our
school-based
cross-country
ski
program
for
elementary
youth
that
served
over
600
youth.
Our
junior
lopid
and
our
north
side
adventure
teams,
which
are
you
know,
really,
I
think,
very
meaningful
programs
and
that
they
exist
year-round.
Z
Z
But
we
have
a
group
of
young
bipot
girls
who
have
a
program
called
cool,
meets
cause
and
they
love
this
hill
and
that
programming
has
really
expanded,
and
so
we've
already
received
some
funding
to
put
in
some
infrastructure
improvements
into
the
snowboarding
hill
and
expand
both
that
cool
meets
cause
program,
but
also,
you
know,
start
to
really
make
sure
that
folks
know
that
this
is
an
urban
snowboarding
hill
that
allows
for
progression
and
is
also
unique
in
that
it's
right
here
in
minneapolis,
and
you
don't
have
to
go
to
elm,
creek
or
highland
to
to
be
able
to
get
on
a
snowboard.
Z
We
are
already
looking
at
having
the
demolition
of
the
current
greenhouses
underway
potentially
this
summer,
because
they
are
dangerous
and
they're
not
fit
for
actual
growing
right
now,
but
what
will
be
replaced?
There
will
be
another
greenhouse
and
another
growing
space.
Z
We
just
want
to
improve
that
area
and
allow
for
safety
for
our
kids
to
get
in
and
garden,
and
then,
of
course,
it's
really
important
to
me
personally
to
continue
to
strengthen
our
relationship
with
you
all
and
to
assure
that
we
are
doing
everything
that
we
can
to
make
worth
the
most
welcoming
and
inclusive
park
that
we
are
able
to
and
that
anyone
in
minneapolis
feels
comfortable
here
finds
a
home
here.
Z
Refines
a
home
here
and-
and
I
would
have
to
say
particularly
now
in
the
midst
of
this
past
year
and
what's
occurring
right
now
like
this
park,
should
be
a
solace
and
a
refuge
for
all
the
neighbors,
no
matter
which
side
of
the
park
you're
on
so
we're
gonna.
We're
gonna,
continue
that
commitment
and
do
work
to
make
this
a
healing
place.
Z
That
is
a
solace
and
then,
finally,
when
when
I
moved
here
20
years
ago
from
louisiana
louisiana
girl
who
fell
in
love
with
skiing,
I
I
began
skiing
in
the
bog
and
the
whole
reason
that
I
am
here
is
because
I
found
that
to
be
a
sacred
space.
And
I
I
still
believe
that
this
is
one
of
the
most
sacred
spaces
in
the
state.
Z
Frankly,
and
my
commitment
is
to
continue
to
be
true
to
the
sanctity
and
the
spirit
of
this
part
and
to
do
everything
I
can
in
community
with
you
all
to
allow
the
lipid
and
the
part
board
to
be
excellent.
Stewards
of
theater
worth
so
this
next
year
will
just
be
all
about
stewardship
and
partnership.
A
But
now's
the
time
for
questions.
Thank
you
very
much
claire,
for
the
report
really
glad
to
have
you
here
and
and
and
just
excited
to
have
you
presenting
here
this
evening.
Do
we
have
questions
from
commissioners?
I
think
few
commissioners
have
questions
start
with.
Commissioner.
P
Welcome
to
the
welcome
to
this
wonderful
partnership.
I
have
a
few
questions
and
possibly
a
few
comments.
I
mean
I
I
I
will
say
that
I'm
glad
that
the
tubing
space
is
going
to
remain
the
tubing
space
with
the
tow
rope.
P
I
received
a
lot
of
complaints
from
the
community
that,
when
they
switched
it
back
to
a
snowboarding
hill
that
they
were
taking
our
community
to
give
it
to
somebody
else
and
vice
versa,
and
then
they
moved
the
tubing
hill
to
where
the
the
snowboard
hill
was
going
to
be
so
basically
tubers
would
have
to
walk
up
the
hill
and
and-
and
it
made
a
it,
didn't
look
good
I'll.
P
Just
say
that
so
I'm
happy
to
hear
you
guys
are
continuing
to
keep
up
that
tubing
space
as
it's
near
and
dear,
as
you
said,
to
a
lot
of
north
siders
hearts.
Can
you
tell
me
more
about
the
flower
stop
on
dowling
and
humboldt
are
the
for
the
former
flower
shop.
I
I
still
take
lots
of
complaints
about
that.
The
community
is
saying
that
the
lopet
did
exactly
the
opposite
of
what
they
said
they
were
going
to
do.
P
They
said
that
was
going
to
be
programmable
space
and
others
said
that
you
guys
were
just
going
to
use
it
for
storage.
It
seems
like
it's
used
for
storage
a
lot.
Can
you
give
me
some
more
knowledge
on
what
that
space
is
going
to
be
used
for.
Z
Absolutely
president
cargill,
thank
you
for
your
words
and
commissioner
steverson
for
your
question.
Yes,
we
we
are
using
this
space
currently
in
partnership
with
youth
farm.
They
are,
they
have
been
starting
some
seeds
there
and
we
have
entered
a
memorandum
of
understanding
with
them.
That
includes
the
rehabilitation
of
those
greenhouses
and
their
partnership
includes
appetite
for
change
and
multiple
other
partners
to
do
that
work.
Z
AA
Z
P
Have
you
partnered
with
travis
the
director
at
falwell
or
sarah,
the
director
at
weber,
on
any
programming,
and
I'm
not
I'm
not
really
interested
in
youth
farming
right
now
I
mean
there
was
a
lot
of
conversation
about
that.
I
think
it's
great.
What
I
want
to
know
is
is
you're
going
to
work.
Is
your
organization
going
to
teach
our
kids
how
to
ski
specifically
at
weber,
park
and
falwell?
P
Are
we
going
to
activate
that
space,
so
the
community
can
enjoy
that
space
as
well
as
opposed
to
just
speaking
about
the
greenhouses.
Z
Commissioner
stevenson
ray
aponte,
who
is
our
adventures
director,
has
been
in
contact
with
those
park
directors
and
I
don't
know
the
status
currently
of
where
we
are
with
skiing
programming
and
fall
well,
but
I
will
check
in
with
him
and
we
will
get
back
to
you
on
where
on
where
we
are
with
those
discussions.
Z
L
P
Yeah,
that
would
be
great.
I
I've
asked
this
question
for
the
past
couple
years
and
I've
that's
kind
of
been
a
similar
answer
that
we've
got
so
I
I
truly
hope
that
we
can
activate
both
in
parks
and
get
our
kids
out
there
at
snowshoeing
skiing,
like
you,
said,
enjoying
nature
biking,
I
mean
they're,
both
really
great
parks.
Can
you
tell
me
a
little
bit
more
about
part
three,
the
part
three
golf
course.
I
I
believe
you
folks
are
kind
of
somewhat
managing.
P
Now
I
I'm
not
exactly
sure
how
that
all
works.
Can
you
tell
me
more
about
that.
Z
Yes,
commissioner
stevenson
I
can
so
per
the
operating
agreement.
The
part
board
actually
still
operates
the
par
3..
We
do
sell
the
the
passes
for
for
par
3
at
the
window
of
the
trailhead.
We
do
that
in
partnership
with
the
golf
operations
at
the
chalet,
but
the
par
3
itself
is
still
maintained
by
the
park
board.
Z
In
the
remote
in
this
recent
past,
no,
not
that
I
know
of,
but
of
course
you
know
there
was
discussions
early
on
when
the
trailhead
was
under
construction
with
par
3
golfers.
I
would
say
that
we
are,
and
I
have
instructed
our
customer
service.
We
have
a
new
manager
of
the
trailhead
and
I
have
asked
her
to
work
to
assure
that.
We
have
some
customer
service
folks
who
really
understand
golfing,
and
we
are
working
hard
to
welcome
folks
into
the
trailhead.
Y
Z
Y
Comment,
I
have
part
three
golfers
in
my
house:
I'm
out
there
a
fair
amount
and
always
make
a
point
of
asking
folks
that
are
on
the
course
said
disc
golfers
as
well,
and
you
know
what
I'm
told
overwhelmingly
is
how
much
they
appreciate
having
the
amenity
there,
the
trailhead
right
there.
That
is
right
where
that
course
starts
and
ends
and
feels
a
little
bit
like
theirs.
You
know
belonging
them
kind
of
separate
and
apart
from
the
18-hole
amenities.
P
Good
to
know,
are
you
guys
getting
any
revenue
for
doing
that
part
of
the
the
the
job.
Z
P
Last
but
not
least,
how
has
the
rental
of
the
the
local
facility
itself
been
going?
I
know
that
I've
mentioned
multiple
times
to
different
agencies,
particularly
our
schools.
Z
Welcome,
mr
stevenson,
we
haven't
had
anyone
renting
the
facility
because
we've
been
closed
due
to
coved,
so
we
are
just
now
restarting
the
rental
process.
Now
that
we
can,
you
know,
have
more
folks
inside
and
our
first
folks
who
are
going
to
be
in
here
this
month,
are
the
link
they're
going
to
come
over
to
do
a
george
floyd
open
mike
and
memorial
in
the
at
the
trailhead.
So
that
will
be
our
first,
but
that's
not
technically
a
rental,
that's
more
an
unkind
donation
to
them,
but
we
are
we're
just
now
starting.
A
Thank
you,
commissioner
c
pearson.
Vice
president
vito.
W
Thank
you,
president
cogill
hi
claire
it's
nice
to
meet
you
thanks,
john
and
mike
also
for
joining
us.
I
look
forward
to
these
presentations
because
work
is
my
neighborhood
park.
W
I
walk
down
there
every
day
I
love
seeing
the
crowds
I've
adored,
watching
the
growth
of
black
and
brown
faces
down
net
worth
in
the
winter
months,
and
now,
with
the
bike
tours
with
the
rides
and
young
people,
I'm
getting
to
see
them
out,
and
I
will
just
say
this
year:
I've
seen
more
black
kids
than
ever
before
out
on
the
trails
with
some
of
the
wonderful
staff
down
there.
I
appreciate
the
partnership
you
created
with
marcus
and
youth
farm.
I
think
that's
awesome.
W
They
just
had
the
big
sale
last
week
along
with
breaking
breaking
bread,
and
I
went
and
got
some
plants
myself,
so
it
was
great
to
see
young
people
engaged
and
excited.
I
had
really
good
conversations
with
the
young
people
about
the
grow
houses.
So
thank
you
so
very
much
for
that
partnership
and
also
breaking
the
cycle.
I
think
that's
going
to
be
a
great
contribution
to
our
community.
W
When
we
talk
about
bike,
mechanics
and
the
lack
of
black
and
brown
bike
mechanics,
so
I'm
really
really
excited
to
see
this
partnership
and
you
are
creating
the
space.
That's
something
I'm
going
to
follow
up
with
the
breaking
the
cycle
organization
is
near
and
dear
to
my
heart
and
I'm
really
looking
forward
to
you
all
partner
with
them
and,
like
I
said,
creating
the
space
I
see.
That
is
another
opportunity.
This
is
just
a
suggestion.
W
I
really
do
see
that
organization
and
the
partnership
with
the
lopez
is
one
that
could
be
connected
to
parks
in
a
very
different
way.
I
would
love
to
see
some
of
our
young
people
have
job
opportunities
through
breaking
the
cycle,
because
it
is
a
it
is
a.
You
know,
a
business
that
you
don't
see
a
lot
of
black
and
brown
kids
engaged
in
bike,
mechanics
or
you
know,
bike
safety,
so
I
would
love
to
see
that
grow.
W
You
know,
you
are
really
engaged
together,
parks
a
little
bit
breaking
the
cycle
or
groups
like
that,
and
then
just
a
quick
question.
I
know
it
was
hard
on
everyone,
but
I
just
want
to
know
how
mill
valley
did
through
the
pandemic,
and
could
you
give
a
update
on
what's
happening
down
at
one
of
my
favorite
restaurants?.
Z
Thanks
for
all
of
that,
commissioner,
viton
and
and
mike
or
john
can
jump
in
here,
but
I
can
say
that
mill
valley
has,
you
know
it
was
a
little
bit
of
a
rocky
start
having
to
start
during
covid
their
operations,
but
they
have
been
increasing
sales
weekly
and
now,
of
course,
they
are
hosting
friday
night
music,
and
that
has
been
extremely
popular
and
there's
just
been
a
steady
stream
of
folks
coming
in.
Y
During
this
time
we
just
realized
there
was
a
real
need
and
hunger
out
there
for
community
and
and
being
in
the
park,
and-
and
I
have
to
say
that
mill
valley
people
were
just
exceptional
and
trying
to
find
you
know
within
the
limitations
of
the
environment.
We're
operating
in
you
know,
trying
to
find
opportunities
to
to
serve
and
be
in
provide
opportunities
for
connection.
Y
I
just
I
I'm
really
grateful
for
how
hard
they
worked
and
the
thought
they
put
into
to
it
to
to
make
things
work
as
well
as
they
could
under
the
circumstances,
especially,
you
know,
come
as
claire
said.
You
know,
trying
to
get
started
and
then
just
having
this
happen
kind
of
just
as
they
were
just
trying
to
get
their
legs
under
him.
I've
been
really
impressed.
W
Thank
you,
I
would
also
just
add.
I
think
parking
is
going
to
be
a
problem
forever
claire,
I
mean
the
more
amenities
you
have
down
there.
The
more
people
will
show
up.
I
see
a
ton
of
people
walking
or
biking
over,
but
there's
still
a
large
number
of
cars.
You
know
driving
over
people
coming
in
from
all
over
the
city
to
enjoy
those
wonderful
amenities,
so
I
don't
think
we'll
ever
not
have
a
parking
issue
down
in
that
area,
because
so
many
people
love
hanging
out
all
year
long
over
there.
H
Thank
you,
president
cole.
Gill,
thank
you
for
number
one,
sharing
your
energy,
all
three
of
you,
the
lope
it
is
just.
H
It
is
so
energized
that
whole
area-
and
I
just
so
appreciate
it
particularly
and
probably
what
the
coldest
time
of
the
entire
year
I
was
one
of
the
I
don't
know
what
was
I
called
a
patrol
or
a
guide
or
whatever
to
the
luminary.
H
H
Z
Z
There
is
I
you
know
we
are
in
discussion.
We
are.
We
are
looking
at
both
what
the
impact
would
be
from
a
budgetary
standpoint,
but
also
just
from
a
standpoint
of
being
able
to
to
bring
that
back
and
sort
of
the
bandwidth
that
we
have
as
an
organization,
but
there
are
certainly
there
is
certainly
an
opportunity
and
we
are
deeply
considering
it.
H
Thank
you
it
just.
This
is
a
couple
of
things.
First
of
all,
thank
you
so
much
for
grooming.
You
know
throughout
you,
know
the
chain
of
lakes,
and
you
know
throughout
and
just
any
way
that
you
possibly
can
talk
to
the
grooming
machine
makers
and
everything
about
the
bristles.
H
The
bristles
have
been
found
all
over
and
you
know
I
was
a
part
of
the
clean
up
earth
day
cleanup
and
everything
and
yeah.
H
We
were
finding
a
lot
of
little
yellow
brushes,
so
you
know
somehow,
if
you
can
influence,
we
appreciate
it
and
I'm
always
concerned
about
quote
unquote
litter
after
the
luminary,
when
it
is
on
aisles
aisles
as
a
unique
thing,
and
it's
because
of
all
the
readiness
I
think
on
the
shoreline
that
it's
it's
stuck
in
there
and
stuff,
but
we
do
find
an
awful
lot
of
residue
whether
or
not
it's
luminary.
H
I
have
no
idea
okay,
but
I
just
you
know
somehow,
anyway,
we
can
police
our
our
littering
of
at
that
event,
but
also
look
into
the
bristles.
That
would
be
appreciated.
Thank
you,
but
anyway,
thanks
for
your
work.
A
Thank
you,
commissioner.
Forney.
Before
we
go
to
the
superintendent,
I
just
I'd
like
to
say
claire
john
thanks
for
coming
this
evening.
I've
appreciated
over
the
last
few
months,
having
conversations
with
claire
and
with
our
areas
of
met
council
representative,
lena
atlas,
ingerbordson,
on
just
how
we're
moving
forward-
and
I
see
a
lot
of
that
reflected
in
the
presentation
here
and
what
I
mean
by
moving
forward
is
how
we're
creating
a
welcoming
space.
A
You
know
it's
not
just
that
it's
a
public
space
to
be
able
to
go
to
the
trailhead.
It's
the
indication
of
what
kind
of
events
are
happening
there,
who's
represented,
who
is
in
charge
of
some
of
those
events,
who's
building
those
things
and
co-creating
those
things
with
the
community.
It's
really
important
and
seeing
that
art
piece
that
you
showed
at
the
beginning
is
kind
of,
I
think,
a
testament
to
that
intentionality
and
I
look
forward
to
working
in
that
direction
collaboratively
as
we
move
forward
this
year
and
and
building
really
into
the
future.
A
I
appreciate
some
of
commissioner
severson's
questions
mainly
around
you
know.
Who's
gonna
be
using
that
space
and-
and
I
think
that
it
sounds
like
we're
really
being
thoughtful
about
that,
and
I
really
appreciate
that
and
just
want
to
highlight
that
it's
great
to
see
that
in
the
presentation
I'll
go
to
superintendent
bangora.
Oh
commissioner,
horny
did
you
have
something
else
you
wanted
to
say.
H
I
apologize
I
meant
to
ask
by
any
chance,
have
you
tracked
your
sale
of
passes
and
everything
like
that
by
zip
code,
and,
if
you
did,
you
know,
do
you
have
any
of
that
available
just
curious
to
see
you
know?
What's
our
reach,
you
know
is
largely.
Is
it
from
minneapolis
what
part
of
minneapolis
that
I
think
would
be
very
helpful
for
us
to
to
know
about.
F
Thank
you,
president
coghill,
for
recognizing
me
and
and
and
allow
me
to
speak.
F
I
wanted
to
not
only
echo
what
you
said,
president
coghill,
but
I
want
to
also
express
my
conversation
I
had
with
claire
just
recently
and-
and
I
know
I
was
talking
a
lot
and
sharing
vision
and
she
was
very
kind
to
listen
and
I
was
very
excited,
but
what
I
realized
in
that
conversation,
a
player
you
and
I
and
our
and
how
we
look
and
how
we
think
about
this
vision
going
forward
in
the
low
pit,
but
in
the
relationship
between
nprv
and
the
local,
and
I'm
really
excited
about
your
vision.
F
I'm
excited
about
the
commonality
that
we
had
in
some
of
our
discussion.
When
we
talked
about
biking,
we
talked
about
agriculture
and
nature,
and
what
commissioner
steverson
said,
which
echoed
exactly
we
talked
about
how
we
connect
in
our
recreation
centers
around
programming,
how
we
reach
out
and
make
those
those
connections.
I
remember
the
conversation
that
you
and
I
had
was
about
this
networking
right
and
even
the
space
that
commissioner
seriously
mentioned
about
how
you're
doing
youth
farm
market
project
there.
I'm
going
yeah
we're
doing
farming
in
our
space.
We
talked
about.
F
You
know
the
way
we
reach
out
to
kids
and
connect,
and
so
I
wanted
to
express
my
gratitude,
my
excitement
and
your
your
vision
and
your
excitement
that
you
had
when
I
was
talking
and
we
both
were
going
back
and
forth,
and
I
left
that
meeting
with
you
very
hopeful
and
very
excited
about
the
direction
you're
going.
Your
report
was
wonderful.
F
I
am
really
excited
to
work
with
you
and
and
and
really
reaching
out
and
improving
our
connection
to
not
only
our
parks
and
our
neighborhood,
but
how
we
get
our
kids
engaged
involved
when
we
start
the
grassroots.
We
start
in
our
neighborhoods,
and
I'm
really
excited
about
that.
So
I
want
to
say
thank
you
for
that
conversation
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
working
with
you.
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
my
excitement
on
the
possibilities,
and
so
thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
superintendent,
I'm
not
seeing
any
other
comments
or
questions
from
commissioners.
Thank
you
again,
claire.
Thank
you,
john
for
being
here
this
evening.
I'm
looking
forward
to
the
future,
and
with
that
I
will,
I
will
close
the
recess
the
regular
meeting
of
the
park
board
and
I'm
going
to
move
into.
Actually
the
planning
committee
over
to
share
meyer.
C
Thank
you,
commissioner.
French
vice
chair,
forney.
L
L
L
L
K
Thank
you.
We
have
one
item
on
our
agenda.
It
is
the
same
language
for
the
resolution
for
the
benefit
of
the
cost
cover
factory
that
was
defeated
at
the
last
meeting,
but
just
hoping
that
there
is
a
different
outcome.
K
This
time
is
there
a
motion
for
resolution,
2021
217,
a
resolution
approving
the
refectory
rebuild
concept
plan
affidavit
costco
park
within
the
minneapolis
channel
lakes
regional
park.
Commissioner,
music
has
moved
the
resolution.
H
Yes,
I'd
like
to
moving
forward
amendment.
Excuse
me.
E
H
T
Mr
president,
she
is
as
I've
done
memos
before
this
is
basically
just
a
chair
of
meyer.
Has
the
ability
to
bring
this
matter
back
in
front
of
the
committee
and
he's
done
so
so
you
should
just
treat
this
as
any
other
matter.
The
committee
would
consider.
K
And
we
determined
that
this
is
you
know
we
can
bring
back
this
for
consideration.
It
does
have
a
different
resolution
number
it's
2017
instead
of
like
202
or
something
I
think
so.
It
is
different
in
that
way
that
it
has
a
different
title.
T
J
K
Yes,
so,
commissioner
forney,
please
tell
us
about
your
amendment.
H
Thank
you,
I
believe.
At
the
last
meeting
I
talked
about
the
congestion
at
the
northeast
corner
that
was
discussed
at
great
length
in
the
master
plan
or
in
the
cac
excuse
me
and
therefore,
in
the
master
plan,
it
was
directing
to
try
to
lessen
the
congestion
at
that
area
and
the
saline
school
club
has
been
eager
for
a
couple
decades
and
everything.
H
And
so
I
would
like
to
bring
forward
an
amendment
to
begin
that
process
that
the
board
of
commissioners
directs
staff
to
pursue
a
memorandum
of
understanding
with
the
bidet
mccoska
sailing
school,
which
would
jointly
seek
opportunities
for
relocating
boat
launches
and
sailing
school
club
facilities
away
from
the
northeast
corner.
As.
K
Okay
to
the
amendment
is
there
any
other
discussion.
H
I
I
will
just
you
know
once
again
clarify
that
it
was
a
couple
of
decades
ago
that
the
sailing
school
actually
did
bring
forward
a
plan
for
the
south
end.
So
this
has
been
something
they've
been
very
eager.
My
understanding
is,
they
have
some
over
900
high
school
students
that
are
participating
in
the
school
right
now
they
do
not
have
any
place
to
shelter.
H
If,
let's
say
a
storm
comes
along,
you
know
thunder
lightning,
it
used
to
be
that
they
could
find
shelter
in
the
refractory
which,
of
course,
we
know,
is
no
longer
there.
So
it
is
a
real
concern
of
theirs
safety
wise
for
that,
and
they
have
grown
considerably
as
far
as
the
congestion
in
the
northeast
corner.
It
is
the
confluence
of
the
pedestrians,
the
bikers
whatever,
and
you
know,
trailers.
H
You
know,
boats
all
the
movement
and
everything
like
that
that,
as
I've
possibly
indicated,
the
former
owners
of
tin
fish
said
it's
an
accident
waiting
to
happen
so
they're
very
eager
to
set
a
path,
and
by
this
mou
we
would
be
able
to
also
they
would
be
able
to
start.
You
know
fundraising
to
make
that
happen,
so
I
are
eager
to
have
people
support
this.
O
Thank
you,
cher
meyer,
I'm
interested
in
hearing
from
the
motion
maker
on
whether
or
not
this
would
be
a
new
resolved
clause
added
to
the
current
motion
before
us,
and
then
I'm
also
interested
in
hearing
from
the
district
commissioner
about
their
support
for
this
amendment.
H
I'm
sorry
for
a
parliament:
oh
am
I
on
I'm
not
sure,
go
ahead.
K
Yep
I
was
going
to
ask
you
if
you'd
like
to
answer.
I
I
do
think
it
as
the
parliamentary
question.
You
know
I
I
think
it
doesn't
need
to
be
a
resolved
clause.
The
amendment
that
you
submitted
can
be
just
applicable
to
the
plan
right.
If
you
have
different
thoughts,
you
can.
H
No
I'll
rely
on
your
parliamentary
account
then,
and
I
I
have
added
this
through
staff
and
they
are
eager
to
have,
as
I
say,
a
path
to
carry
out
the
master
plan.
That
really
is
what
the
master
plan
you
know
really
highlighted
was
the
congestion
in
that
corner,
and
this
is
a
way
to
set
it
in
motion.
K
That
was
also
a
question
that
I
was
going
to
ask
staff
myself
assistant
superintendent
schroeder.
Can
you
give
us
any
thoughts
that
you
have
about
this
amendment?
Do
you
feel
that
this
is
consistent
with
the
existing
master
plan
and
you
have
any
opinions
about
it.
B
Chair
meyer
and
committee
members,
I
think
we're
encouraged
by
this
kind
of
mou.
It
is
aligned
with
the
master
plan,
as
we
might
have
talked
about
individually
with
you
with
some
of
you.
The
sequence
of
of
of
activities
that
we
had
anticipated
in
the
master
plan
was
thrown
out
of
whack
by
the
catastrophic
loss
of
the
the
refectory.
B
So
we
have
we're
trying
to
put
things
back
in
order.
This
may
not
be
exactly
the
sequence,
but
it
does
follow
the
kind
of
the
underlying
goal
of
trying
to
relocate
the
sailing
school
and
its
activities
to
a
less
congested
portion
of
of
casca.
So
staff
is,
as
commissioner
noted,
staff
is
supportive
of
this
motion.
B
O
H
O
O
O
K
C
And
commissioner
music,
I
think
it
would
be
reasonable
to
have
this
be
an
additional
resolve
clause
within
the
resolution.
It's
it's
an
item
that
is
an
implementation
step
of
the
actual
master
plan,
so
I
think
it
could
live
as
an
additional
resolve
clause
within
the
resolution,
unless
legal
counsel
would
recommend
another
operation.
T
I
I
think
the
secretary
has
given
the
committee,
the
accurate
advice,
okay,.
K
Then
we'll
take
it
as
a
resolved
clause
in
that
case,
and
then
as
to
your
second
request,
commission
research,
president
coco,
do
you
have
any
comments
you'd
like
to
tell
us
about.
A
Look
forward
to
support
when
this
comes
happy
that
commissioner
forney
has
brought
something
forward.
That
is
pushing
forward
another
aspect
of
the
master
plan,
and
I
think
that
you
know
the
sailing
school
has
been
interested
in
this.
As
somebody
who
used
to
sail
at
the
sailing
school.
I
I
think
that
it's
great
that
we're
thinking
about
the
future
for
that
that
organization,
okay,.
L
K
That
carries,
I
do
have
an
amendment
of
my
own.
I
would
like
to
move
an
amendment
to
amend
the
plan
to
remove
any
exterior
fire
pits.
K
K
I
am
not
saying
any
so
seeing
none
secretary,
please
call
the
roll.
L
G
L
L
K
A
You,
commissioner
meyer,
I'm
going
to
reconvene
the
regular
meeting
of
the
recreation
board
to
consider
the
item
that
just
passed
out
of
committee
and
then
go
to
the
petitions
and
communications.
So
the
item
is
resolution.
2021-217
jeremiah.
Would
you
care
to
move
it.
K
D
A
A
Any
discussion
not
seeing
any,
I
will
say
I
appreciate
the
work
being
done
to
bring
this
forward
again
and
look
forward
to
our
next
steps
in
ironing
out
the
funding
and
putting
together
the
final
plan
and
really
realizing
some
aspects
of
the
of
the
master
plan
as
well
with
that
mou
piece.
Thank
commissioner
fourny
for
bringing
that
forward
with
that
I'll
ask
the
secretary
to
take
the
role.
M
G
L
I
L
P
P
The
work's
not
being
done
when
they
sit
at
the
dyess
to
be
able
to
do
the
work.
P
I
hope
that
this
is
important
enough
to
every
person
on
this
commission,
along
with
our
school
board
and
our
city
council
and
hennepin
county,
that
there's
a
real
issue
here
in
north
minneapolis,
a
real
violence
gun
issue,
and
I
hope
that
we
stop
playing
the
games
and
start
addressing
some
of
these
issues.
And
when
we're
talking
about
addressing
this
issues,
we
start
funding
them
and
we're
not
dancing
around
and
taking
sides
of
political
people.
But
instead
we're
going
to
put
our
money
where
our
mouths
are
to
start
addressing
some
of
these
issues.
P
H
Oh,
thank
you.
I
I
just
need
to
be
what
a
huge
shout
out
for.
H
The
enhancements
that
are
happening
in
north
minneapolis,
such
as
the
26th
avenue,
overlook
that
was
unveiled
or
whatever
it
was
called
dedicated
last
week,
and
I
just
find
it
to
be
such
an
amazing
connector
of
the
community
to
one
of
our
amazing
assets
in
this
country,
the
mississippi
river.
So
I'm
I
just.
I
cannot
thank
first
of
all
the
foundation
for
the
minneapolis
parks
foundation
for.
D
H
Stewarding,
this
through
and
and
making
it
happen
to
general
mills
and
their
huge
contribution
of
a
million
dollars
to
make
it
happen.
So
it's
it's
a
reality
that
we
are
able
to
embrace
that
river
and
bring
it
to
the
north
and
the
northeast
communities.
H
I
certainly
hope
that
people
will
also
acknowledge
tomorrow,
when
we
will
be
dedicating
the
waterworks
that
is
once
again
anything
to
activate
that
river,
which
has
been
ignored
for
so
many
years.
I'm
just
I
I
just
get
so
thrilled
that
we
are
continuing
the
progress
of
the
river
into
the
communities
that
have
been
most
underserved.
A
Thank
you
commit
thank
you,
commissioner
forney,
commissioner,
french.
G
Yeah,
I
just
I
really
like
the
echoing
words
of
commission
treatment
about
the
turmoil
and
chaos
that
happened
in
certain
parts
of
our
city,
especially
and
our
children.
G
Our
children
are
being
affected,
so
I
would
love
to
be
able
to
figure
out
ways
to
create
programming
for
the
young
men
and
young
women
who
are
out
here
participating
in
this
fight.
Let's
give
them
something
else
to
do
so.
Commissioner,
she's
saying,
if
you
want
to
work
with
me,
I
will
work
with
you
to
try
to
figure
out
some
solutions,
whether
you're
throwing
resources
at
the
issue
or
just
coming
up
with
real
creative
creative
suggestions.
You
just
let
me
know,
give
me
a
call
and
I'm
with
you.
I
will
support
whatever
effort
you
have.
W
Thank
you,
president.
Cogill
again,
you
know,
north
minneapolis
is
really
suffering
right.
Now,
our
our
city
as
a
whole
is
suffering.
There's
a
huge
divide
and
there's
a
lot
of
trauma.
That's
happening,
I'm
grateful
for
the
work
that
we've
done
at
the
park
board
to
try
and
you
know,
strengthen
our
resources
around
youth
violence
prevention,
but
of
course,
there's
much
more.
We
can
do.
W
I
hope
that
we
continue.
You
know.
We've
had
our
first
two
budget
meetings
and,
of
course,
that
that's
come
up
that
we
want
to
continue
working
harder
to
provide
opportunities
for
our
young
people.
So
I'm
glad
that
that's
on
the
forefront
of
all
of
our
minds-
and
you
know
we
continue
to
have
conversations
about
it
again.
This
community
is
hurting.
Our
city
is
hurting
right.
Now,
we've
we've
all
done
a
disservice
to
our
young
people
anytime.
W
We
have
three
kids
under
10
years
old,
being
shot
in
the
head
within
the
last
two
weeks
of
many
in
minneapolis,
and
so
again
I
just
want
us
to
continue
working
hard.
As
we've
been
doing,
you
know
the
three
and
a
half
years
I've
been
on
the
board
to
serve
our
young
people
and
serve
our
young
people
in
a
much
bigger
way.
If
we
can.
A
Thank
you
vice
president
thanks
everybody
for
your
words
this
evening
and
for
the
the
work
that
acknowledging
the
work
we
have
done
and
the
work
that
we
need
to
do
it's
great
to
hear
some
interest
in
in
really
getting
down
to
brass
tax
and
investing
in
our
youth
service,
especially
in
the
north
side,
new
strategies.
G
C
Can
you
turn
off
your
overall
microphone
on
your
computer?
Yes,
my
computer.
C
Can
then
can
you
also
mute
the
the
zoom
piece
here?
Let's
see,
I
can
help
with
that.
O
So
now
that
I'm
not
echoing
on
behalf
of
the
operations
and
environment
committee,
I
will
call
this
meeting
to
order.
It
is
809
pm
and
I
am
going
to
ask
the
secretary
to
please
call
the.
O
A
I'm
not
hearing
secretary
ringgold,
I
think
you
can
take
the.
A
Need
to,
I
will
take
the
role
now
as
the
president
here
and
record
it
for
jennifer's
use
later.

Motion
carries
this
evening.
We
have
an
action
item
before
us.
This
is
returning
to
us
from
earlier
this
year
when
we
had
paused
considering
topics
like
this
during
board
meetings
under
covid,
so
you
probably
recognize
it
for
when
you
read
through
the
packets
back
then,
but
if
someone
would
like
to
move
action
item.
O
Thank
you,

Forney
this
evening,
we're
joined
by
the
board's
horticulturalist,
kate,
ryan
and
assistant
superintendent
barrack,
there's
a
presentation
that
we'll
be
walking
through
before
we
discuss
the
resolution
before
us.
Okay,.
AA
So
thank
you
all
for
having
me
here
tonight
to
give
you
kind
of
an
update
and
recap
on
parks
and
pesticides
focused
on
on
2020's
data
and
giving
you
an
update
for
the
spring
2021
next
slide,
please
so
just
kind
of
as
a
recap,
since
we
have
had
kind
of
a
break.
Since
we
last
spoke
on
the
topic,
pesticides
are
deve,
as
defined
as
any
substance
or
mixtures
of
substances
intended
for
preventing,
destroying
repelling
or
mitigating
any
pest.
We
get
this
definition
from
the
epa.
The
environmental
protection
agency
next
slide.
AA
So
thinking
about
what
is
a
pesticide,
we
are,
this
term
used
a
lot
and
it's
an
umbrella
term.
Pesticides
are
broken
down
into
multiple
categories
of
products.
Each
category
is
focused
on
the
type
of
pest.
It
aims
to
control
staff
report
on
landscape
pesticide
uses,
which
include
fungicides,
herbicides,
insecticides
and
plant
growth.
Regulators
next
slide.
AA
So
during
the
past,
12
plus
years
park
features
best
practices,
industry,
advancements
and
user
expectations
have
shifted,
making
their
current
policy
outdated
and
not
fully
reflective
of
the
current
work
performed
by
staff
contractors
and
volunteers
within
the
park
system.
Next
slide.
AA
So
the
mprb
manages
approximately
6
800
acres
of
public
land
and
within
this
acreage,
there's
a
really
wide
variety
of
land
types
and
uses
reporting
on
pesticide
use
is
broken
down
by
land
type
and
then
the
coordinating
work
group,
so
reports
on
the
general
parkland
often
come
from
our
park:
maintenance
staff,
horticulture
staff,
reporting
on
on
gardening
and
landscaping
natural
resource
management
on
our
managed
natural
areas.
Aquatics
forestry,
our
premier
athletic
complexes,
golf
and
then
also
planning.
AA
AA
So
public
notification
is
a
big
piece
of
communicating
how
we
use
pesticides
and
how
we
work
in
ipm.
So
in
order
to
work
towards
being
a
more
transparent,
having
a
more
transparent
public
notification
system,
staff
are
really
focusing
on
improving
our
internal
record.
Keeping
the
introduction
of
viewworks
as
an
asset
management
tool
allows
staff
to
begin
entering
application
records
in
real
time
from
the
field.
AA
Past
practice
has
always
been
like
hard
paper
copies
and
we
may
still
do
those
but
having
a
centralized
storage
location
of
this
information
has
been
a
real
game
changer
in
how
we
think
about
improving
our
internal
record,
keeping
to
then
reflect
our
external
notification
system,
so
our
current
public
notification
standards
continue
to
be
maintained
through
on
states.
AA
AA
So
lacking
kind
of
clear
board
direction,
staff
were
kind
of
tasked
with
two
goals
we
heard
from
the
public
from
the
board
community
members
we
heard
pesticide
use
reductions
and
we
saw
transition
to
organics
become
very
popular,
so
these
goals
are
being
addressed
separately
as
they're,
often
mutually
exclusive.
Next
slide.
AA
AA
So
I
have
a
few
examples,
so
you
guys
can
get
an
idea
of
how
we're
working
with
this
information
in
the
field.
So
in
2020,
our
natural
resource
staff
shifted
the
focus
of
their
planned
herbicide
applications
by
eliminating
limiting
it
only
to
the
highest
designation
of
noxious
weeds
as
a
refresher.
The
noxious
weed
list
is
maintained
by
the
minnesota
department
of
agriculture
and
there
are
some
legal
requirements
that
go
so
we
took
those
and
we
really
worked
with
them
and
the
main
use
of
herbicide
through
the
natural
resource
staff
was
on
oriental
bittersweet.
AA
This
work
is
usually
done
primarily
through
conservation,
core
and
directed
by
nprb
staff.
In
this
chart,
you're
going
to
see
the
garland
applications
by
volume
2019
compared
to
2020,
and
you
can
see
there
is
a
like
91
ounce
decrease
year
over
year,
which
is
a
great
huge
reduction.
But
we
need
to
remember
that
this
was
a
pause
rather
than
a
long-term
program
change,
but
we
did
see
a
great
reduction
in
those
applications
when
we
really
looked
at
what
do
we
legally
have
to
treat?
AA
And
you
know
what
what
do
we
want
to
do
in
the
interim
until
we
get
some
clear
direction
on
this
program?
So
next
slide.
AA
AA
They
started
this
process
without
herbicides,
the
staff
dedicated
probably
around
200
labor
hours
to
the
12,
600
square
foot,
turf
area
and
the
staff
estimates
that
rehab
will
take
a
minimum
of
three
years
to
complete
in
order
to
avoid
pesticide
applications
specifically
herbicide
in
this
site,
and
that
that
will
get
us
back
to
a
cleaner
slate
and
then
we
will
continue
to
do
ongoing
maintenance
mechanically.
AA
If
that
is
the
direction
we
keep
at
this
site,
it
is
very
labor
intensive
for
a
very
small
area,
but
it's
something
the
staff
really
wanted
to
dig
in
and
try
to
do
and
see
see
what
it
would
take
and
see
how
practical
it
is
for
them
in
the
long
term
next
slide,
and
I
think
our
best
example
of
staff
work
in
2020.
I
have
to
give
it
to
golf.
The
theodore
worth
golf
course,
foreman.
Chris
ammack
worked
with
dr
paul
cook.
AA
Of
the
university
of
wisconsin
to
implement
a
pesticide
reduction
program
at
the
course,
the
program
incorporated,
the
smith
currents
dollar
spot
model
into
a
chemical
program
planning.
It
uses
a
weather-based
model
rather
than
a
calendar-based
schedule
for
predicting
a
probability
of
disease
breakthrough.
This
is
really
important
because,
while
calendar
schedules
are
important
in
the
growing
world,
we
know
what
to
anticipate
when
weather
and
climate
have
such
a
huge
impact
on.
AA
AA
The
program
had
five
primary
objectives,
and
I
think
these
are
really
important
to
understand
one
first
and
foremost
reduced
pesticide
active
ingredient
and
impact
compared
to
past
pesticide
management
programs.
I
like
that
goal,
because
it's
comparing
us
to
us
and
not
comparing
us
to
sites
that
have
different
different
environmental
impacts
and
different
kind
of
baselines
and
then
eliminate
the
use
of
pesticides
labeled
as
highly
toxic
to
bees
and
have
signal
words
of
warning
or
danger
and
then
using
the
disease
predictive
modeling
and
implement
additional,
science-based
integrated
pest
management
strategies.
AA
Obviously,
a
very
important
one
always
is
keeping
the
program
cost
in
lines
with
our
budget
to
make
sure
it's
really
reasonable
for
us
to
execute,
execute
now
and
then
provide
course,
quality
that
meets
the
expectations
of
local
golf
clientele
so
making
sure
that
the
people
using
the
course
are
still
happy
to
continue
using
the
course
next
slide.
AA
So
this
slide,
I
think,
says
some
wonderful
things
about
the
outcome
of
the
work
that
that
team
did
over
a
three
year
period.
These
percentages
are
reductions,
so
we
saw
you
know
an
88
reduction
in
the
environmental
impact
quote
per
acre
on
the
greens.
AA
We
saw
a
52
reduction
in
the
pounds
of
active
ingredient
on
the
tees.
These
results
were
really
really
strong
across
the
board
in
in
all
areas
of
the
course
next
slide.
AA
AA
AA
AA
So
for
the
transition
organics,
when
we
think
about
pests,
our
product
selection,
we
often
hear
the
term
omri
pesticide
products
thrown
out
or
exclusive
use
of
those
omri
stands
for
the
organic
materials
review
institute.
The
omri
listed
seal
assures
suitability
of
products
for
certified
organic
production,
handling
and
processing.
AA
AA
So,
looking
back
at
natural
resource
management,
we
saw
a
huge
reduction
in
their
garland
use
year
over
year,
as
they
took
that
pause.
But
if
we
compare
their
total
use
of
products,
not
just
garland,
but
we
look
at
what
our
contractors
and
our
vendors
are
doing,
that
also
work
in
our
natural
areas.
AA
While
shifting
focuses
for
the
year
helped
reduce
synthetic
herbicide
use.
Two
sites
were
identified
for
an
omri
certified
herbicide
test
sites
made
up
99
plus
of
the
total
herbicide
applications
by
volume
within
the
natural
resource
management,
and
I
apologize
my
circle's
a
little
off
there,
that
gold
circle,
the
little
orange
slice
and
then
there's
an
even
tinier
slice
of
gray
on
the
top
are
the
garland
applications
in
2020
and
the
blue
is
the
organic
product
used.
AA
So
you
can
see
well
year
over
year
we
would
have
seen
we
saw
a
big
reduction
in
garlon
use
and
other
products
that
organic
product
did
require
a
much
higher
volume
of
applications,
more
frequent
applications
and
the
the
contractor
that
used
this
on
the
site
was
not
new
to
mprb.
They
were
managing
the
sites
before
using
different
products
and
they
made
an
active
switch
to
work
with
us
and
try
some
new
things
out.
AA
So
they
knew
the
site
well
and
really
worked
with
us
to
try
something
new
still
looking
at
how
those
results
were
a
year
over
a
year,
because,
obviously
the
plants
are
just
emerging,
we're
just
starting
to
see
weeds
come
back,
but
we
did
see
a
huge
increase
in
volume
when
moving
to
organics
that
within
that
work,
group
next
slide.
AA
Horticulture
another
great
example
is
the
rose
garden
this
park
historically,
has
it's
a
monoculture?
It's
a
little
bit
more
difficult
to
maintain.
Roses
are
have
a
reputation
for
being
a
little
more
finicky
and
as
we
work
to
creating
a
more
sustainable,
environmentally
friendly
rose
garden,
you
can
see
our
three-year
trend
on
the
left
there
from
2018
to
2020.
AA
But
then,
if
you
look
at
the
information
on
the
graph
on
the
right,
you
see
actually
we
had
a
huge
decrease
in
synthetic
pesticide
use
in
that
same
time
period,
and
this
was
because
we
did
introduce
an
organics
trial
for
eight
beds,
so
we
have
62
or
64
formal
rose
beds.
AA
AA
AA
AA
We
also
had
contaminated
soil
tests
and
we
had
some
difficulties
with
communication
with
our
contractors
that
were
setting
up
this
program
for
us
and
while
staff
were
able
to
take
some
steps
to
begin
implementation
of
the
pilot
program,
they
were
not
able
to
give
the
program
the
time
or
attention
to
fully
execute
it,
especially
thinking
of
golf.
They
had
a
real
explosion
in
their
usership,
which
was
a
great
problem
to
have
so.
AA
The
pilot
is
planned
to
continue
into
2021
staff,
feel
they
learned
a
lot
in
2020,
despite
the
challenges,
a
little
stronger
going
into
2021
to
begin
implementing
this
pilot
next
slide,
and
then
I
have
a
couple
case
studies
for
you.
We
we
know
we're
not
the
first
community
to
take
up
this
sort
of
work
or
be
interested
in
this
sort
of
work.
AA
A
great
example
is
in
eugene,
oregon.
Eugene
has
currently
10
parks
designated
as
pesticide
free.
These
parks
are
designated
through
a
nomination
process
where
a
nominating
organization
will
identify
what
contributions
they'll
make
each
year
to
monitoring
and
manually
control.
Weeds
and
nominations
must
demonstrate
a
commitment
to
follow
through,
so
they
have
partnership
agreements
that
are
issued
on
a
one-year
increments
and
reviewed
annually.
AA
These
are
very
similar
to
our
stewardship
agreements
that
we
have
existing
within
our
environmental
stewardship
volunteer
program,
and
then
kind
of
the
quote
that
I
I
took
away
from
their
website
on
this
topic
was
the
most
successful
pesticide
free
parks
are
not,
though,
are
are
those
that
are
already
easy
to
maintain
small
parks
with
very
either
few
small
or
no
landscape
beds
require
very
little
pesticides
to
keep
them
looking
good
you'll
see
some
examples
from
their
website
are
on
the
right
there.
AA
AA
There
is
little
to
no
landscaping
in
the
few
I
found
besides
trees
and
grass.
I
also
you
know,
took
away
a
little
bit
of
concern
about
when
we
rely
on
stewardship
agreements
of
who's.
Getting
the
pesticide
free
parks,
where
are
volunteers
coming
from
and
which
parks
would
get
this
sort
of
designation
in
our
system,
and
when
I
look
at
our
current
volunteer
base,
where
we
have
stewardship
agreements.
Well,
we
have
them
all
across
the
city.
We
do
have
some
very
concentrated
areas
around
the
chain
of
lakes.
AA
AA
Another
good
example
that
comes
up
really
often
is
seattle.
Washington,
they
in
2001
began
maintaining
22
pests
aside
free
parks,
it
was
about
50
acres
and
then
a
little
more
than
15
years
later.
The
seattle
time
ran
a
story
that
revealed
only
15
of
the
original
22
were
actually
still
being
maintained,
pesticide
free
and
then
in
2019.
AA
The
mayor
signed
an
executive
order
that
moved
glyphosate
to
the
most
restrictive
category
within
the
city's
ibm
plan,
and
this
is
a
great
example
of
like
longevity
of
a
program
and
really
making
sure
that
communication
is
there,
that
public
notification
and
how
we
really
stick
with
the
program
long
term.
So
we
don't
have
a
situation
where
we're
we're
not
able
to
deliver
on
what
the
community
thinks
thinks
that
they're
getting
just
kind
of
a
good
cautionary
tale
as
we
move
forward
next
slide,
and
then
I
found
this
kind
of
case
study
for
transition.
AA
Organics
well
well,
not
truly
a
transition.
This
golf
club
comes
up
really
often
when
we
talk
about
this
topic
of
organic
golf.
The
vineyard
golf
club
is
out
in
edgartown
massachusetts,
it's
on
martha's
vineyard
area
and
it's
a
private
course
and
it
was
designated
or
designed
as
the
most
environmentally
sensitive
golf
course
in
the
world
and
the
golf
course
first
opened
in
2002
and
then
less
than
15
years
later.
The
whole
course
was
redesigned
and
revitalized
in
two
phases:
first,
the
front
nine
and
then
the
back
nine
in
2013
and
2015..
AA
This
course
is
extremely
expensive
to
be
a
member
of
they
don't
advertise
their
prices
because
it
is
very,
very
expensive
from
my
understanding,
and
it
is,
has
a
wait
list
to
get
into
it,
but
it
does
come
up
really
often
because
they
are
advertised
as
kind
of
this,
only
organic
or
first
organic
golf
club.
But
they
were
really
truly
designed
from
the
ground
up
to
be
suited
by
this,
and
obviously
revenue
sources
are
very
different
than
ours
and
clientele
is
very
different
than
ours.
Next
slide.
AA
And
then
kind
of
looking
forward
in
2020,
two
new
insect
pests
were
identified
in
minnesota
for
the
first
time
over
in
st
paul.
They
found
lily
leaf
beetle,
which
is
a
beetle
that
affects
lily
and
fritillaria
and
other
plant
species,
and
then
european
shaffer
was
confirmed
in
south
minneapolis
and
by
the
fall
we
had
already
had
15
acres
of
perfect
hiawatha
golf
course
impacted
by
this
pest.
AA
It's
a
very
big
concern
for
our
turf
areas,
specifically
athletics
next
slide,
and
then
just
in
the
last
two
weeks,
I
have
found
five
more
sites
where
we've
confirmed
european
shape.
For
this
spring.
Those
pictures
you're
seeing
on
the
right
were
taken
about
two
weeks
ago,
at
victory,
memorial
drive,
we
have
15
or
12
to
15
blocks
of
victory.
Memorial
drive
with
very
significant
turf
damage
from
this
pest.
AA
It's
new.
We
don't
necessarily
know
the
best
practice
yet
because
it's
been
with
us
for
less
than
a
year.
Obviously
it's
been
here
longer
than
a
year,
but
we've
only
known
about
it
for
less
than
a
year,
so
we
do
have
some
new
obstacles.
AA
So
our
dated
infrastructure
and
space
constraints
continue
to
challenge
the
maintenance
staff
when
we
add
parkland
park
features
and
our
staff
without
supporting
facilities
continues
to
strain
our
current
maintenance
infrastructure
facilities
are
not
always
updated
with
best
practices,
policy
changes
or
increased
regulations.
Some
examples
are
wash
bays.
You
know
not
only
for
proper
cleaning
of
pesticide
equipment,
spray
equipment,
but
also
like
cultural
practices
like
washing
our
mowers
between
sites,
so
we're
not
carrying
weeds
from
one
space
to
another
water
access.
AA
You
know
we
have
lots
of
sites
that
don't
have
year-round
water,
we
don't
have
water
access
at
the
rose
garden
for
the
full
growing
season.
You
know
we
don't
have
flush
toilets,
we
don't
have
hand
washing.
You
know
sinks
like
that
in
those
shoulder
months,
so
it
makes
it
makes
things
a
little
more
challenging
for
staff
in
the
material
storage.
A
great
cultural
practices
is
mulching,
but
we
need
somewhere
to
store
mulch
moving
supplies
and
equipment
around
making
sure
that
mulch
is
secure
and
will
be
there.
AA
The
next
day,
when
you
come
to
your
job
sites,
are
all
considerations
staff
make
when
planning
out
ipm
goals
and
processes
for
the
for
the
landscapes,
and
these
aren't
just
focused
on
safe
pesticide
usage,
although
that
obviously
is
always
part
of
it.
But
these
are
also
accessibility
to
pesticide
alternative
practices.
AA
Next
slide,
so
continuing
the
work
so
pass
aside,
use,
reductions
and
transitioning
to
organic
land
management
are
all
rooted
in
a
strong
ipm
plan.
Ipm
plan
frames
the
work
without
dictating
the
management
solutions.
Solutions
are
often
informed
by
many
site
and
situation.
Specifics
and
management
plans
cannot
always
solve
for
all
situations
or
be
fully
inclusive.
AA
O
Thank
you
very
much,
kate,
danny
hans
yeah.
Now.
D
O
K
You
have
an
echo
again
commissioning
message,
but
I
don't
have
any
questions,
but
just
some
some
comments,
I'm
happy
to
see
the
reduction
of
pesticide
usage,
particularly
in
golf.
The
increased
use
of
pesticides
overall
with
you
know,
organics
requiring
a
lot
more
product,
but
you
know
getting
at
least
a
reduction
in
synthetic
synthetic.
K
K
I'm
pleased
that
it
has
what
I
believe
is
the
first
time
we've
ever
explicitly
prohibited
pesticides
for
cosmetic
purposes,
noting
that
it
does
have
an
exception
for
formal
gardens,
because
I
understand
places
like
the
rose
garden
just
couldn't
operate.
If
there
were
none
at
all.
K
My
personal
preference
would
then
be
to
you
know,
discontinue
the
rose
garden,
but
I
understand
a
lot
of
other
people
want
to
keep
it,
so
I'm
I'm
willing
to
allow
for
that
exception,
but
still
very
happy
to
see
the
overall
prohibition
on
pesticides
for
cosmetic
purposes.
So
I
will
vote
for
this
resolution.
Thank
you.
H
In-Depth
report
that
we
all
need-
and
you
know
to
understand
what
our
challenges
etc
just
curious.
I
can't
remember
what
they're
called
now
worms
that
wiggle.
AA
H
Exactly
yeah,
are
we
finding
that
and
is
that
another
destructive
creature.
AA
That's
a
really
great
question,
commissioner,
so
with
jumping
worms
spring
is
not
a
great
time
to
scout.
They
cannot
overwinter
as
adults.
They
overwinter
as
eggs.
Little
cocoons
that
look
almost
like
a
fertilizer
pearl
like
an
osmocote
for
any
gardeners
out
there.
So
we
don't
really.
While
we
know
they're
at
loring,
I've
seen
them
firsthand
at
lauren,
they're
very
dense
there.
We
don't
fully
know
where
else
they
are
it
has
really
hit.
The
general
population
jumping
worms
is,
is
I'm
seeing
it
all
over
garden
groups?
AA
Online
people
are
recognizing
them
and
they're
looking
for
them,
so
but
late
summer
is
the
best
time
the
staff
is
receiving
some
training,
so
they
know
what
to
look
for.
So
we
can
be
part
of
the
scouting
program
through
the
university.
So
that's
on
our
radar
for
late
summer
and
we'll
have
a
better,
more
accurate
report
once
we
get
staff
in
the
field,
but
obviously
that's
very
concerning
too
especially
thinking
about
you
know.
AA
Beloved
sites
like
eloise
butler
is
right,
very
susceptible
to
jumping
worm
damage
and
would
be
a
wonderful
place
for
them
to
live,
but
not
not
in
our
opinion.
But
yes,
that
is
a
concern,
but
later
in
the
summer
we'll
know
more.
H
Well,
thank
you
and
I've
never
heard
of
european
coffer
shaffer.
Yes
yeah.
I
mean
well
whatever
it's
just
coming
from
all
angles,
so
keep
thank
you
for
keeping
your
eyes
and
keep
us
alerted,
and
I
I
please
you
know.
Let's
move
forward,
I
think
it's
a
marvelous
path
and
your
depth
of
knowledge
and
presentation
was
very
grateful.
I'm
very
grateful
for.
E
O
And,
of
course,
my
view
popped
back
up
to
full
screen,
I'm
not
seeing
anyone
else.
So
I
have
things
I
too
will
be
supporting
the
resolution
before
a
thing
I
I
did
work
really
diligently
in
the
crafting
of
it
to
try
to
incorporate
all
of
the
feedback
that
I
received
from
my
colleagues
when
we
initially
discussed
bringing
forward
a
resolution
to
respond
to
the
work
that
came
out
of
the
pesticide
advisory
committee.
O
When
I
saw
that
when
I
saw
the
numbers
in
our
report
initially
about
the
the
increase
in
pesticide
usage
due
to
the
implementation
of
organic
product
over
synthetic
product,
one
of
the
first
questions
that
I
wanted
to
ask
was
what
toxicity
exposure
changes
does
that
have
for
the
public?
Are
we
utilizing
the
equation
that
tries
to
determine
the
least
toxic
exposure
potential
for
use
when
we're
making
these
decisions
and
are
we?
O
O
Are
we
having
impacts
to
the
public
beyond
just
the
bill
that
they're
going
to
get
for.
O
Of
the
organic
product,
are
they
losing
access
to
the
system
more
than
they
would?
If
we
were
to
use
a
synthetic
product,
are
they
being
exposed
to
a
higher
level
of
toxicity
because
we
have
to
have
more
applications
than
they
would
be
if
we
were
to
use
a
synthetic
product
that
had
to
use
less
applications?
I
know
there's
some
nuance
here
to
how
you're
gonna
have
to
answer
this
question,
but
if
you
could
try
to
help
us
big
picture,
understand
really
what
the
public
impact
is
of
this
change
in
management
practice.
AA
AA
The
product
has
to
come
in
contact
with
the
pathogen
to
be
effective.
The
reason
that
we
often
will
select
synthetic
products
is
they
are.
We
can
find
ones
that
are
systemic.
We
don't
have
to
find
the
pathogen
the
plant
can
take
it
in
and
then
the
pathogen
will
come
in
contact
with
it.
AA
So
when
we
use
organics
and
we're
relying
on
that
contact
mode
of
action,
anytime,
there's
weather
variances
one
just
wear
and
tear
the
you
know
the
product's
gonna
wear
off
two.
If
it's,
if
it
rains
or
we
have
to
run
the
irrigation
overhead
that
washes
off
the
product,
so
so
we
apply
more
often
rates
have
to
be
higher,
because
you
know
I,
if
I
miss
a
spot
on
that
rose
where
the
black
spot
is
it's
not
going
to
work
the
products
themselves,
just
like
synthetics,
have
a
wide
range
of
toxicity.
AA
You
know
we
obviously
aim
for
the
lower
toxicity
rate
ones,
but
we
are
very
limited
on
what's
available.
These
aren't
being
you
know,
there
aren't
a
lot
of
people
out
there
buying
huge
quantities
of
this,
so
we
have
to
kind
of
seek
these
products
out.
We
don't
use
high
bond
high
volume
of
products
comparatively
to
maybe
commercial
greenhouse
growers.
AA
So
finding
you
know
purchasing
a
product
in
the
right
scale
is
actually
hard
for
us
because
we
want
to
actually
purchase
very
small
volumes,
so
that
also
impacts
what's
available
to
us,
but
speaking
directly
to
your
question.
Yes,
so
we,
when
we
apply
more
frequently,
we
close
the
rosecon's
a
great
example.
AA
We
close
the
rose
garden
when
we
do
an
application
and
we
close
it
for
whatever
the
label
indicates
whether
it's
when
until
it's
dry,
if
there's
a
re-entry
interval
of
four
hours,
that
rose
garden
will
be
closed
for
four
hours
from
the
time
we
spray
until
it
can
be
open
to
the
public
again,
it
depends
on
the
product.
Four
hours
is
a
common
re-entry
interval
and
a
lot
of
other
ones
are
until
the
product
is
dry.
AA
We
obviously
try
to
do
this
in
the
early
morning
when
things
are
calm,
the
gardens
are
quieter,
but
yes,
it's
very
likely
that
the
garden
is
then
closed,
weekly
for
a
duration
of
time,
when
we
do
the
organics
and
then
also
we
have
to
time
them.
If
the
weather
isn't
right
and
we
hit
a
friday,
we're
probably
you
know,
it's
either
skip
the
application
and
give
the
public
access
or
a
risk
that
we've
thrown
off
and
we've
let
disease
get
too
far.
AA
Organics
are
also
more
preventative
than
we
than
they're
more
preventative
than
reactionary,
and
you
know
we
always
say
we
want
to
prevent,
but
I
we
really
like
reactionary,
because
I
don't
want
to
spray
until
I
have
to
spray
and
with
organic.
Sometimes
I
have
to
guess
weed
pressure
is
high.
Disease
pressure
is
high.
AA
I'm
looking
at
the
weather,
I'm
looking
at
the
humidity
I'm
looking
at
the
forecast
and
going
like
okay,
I
don't
see
any
disease,
but
I'm
going
to
spray
because
the
the
factors
are
there
and
we
have
to
do
that
both
with
both
types
of
products
but
organic.
We
we
do
need
to
take
that
a
little
more
seriously,
because
if
we
miss
the
window,
we're
not
going
to
recover
the
plant,
we're
only
going
to
kind
of
you
know
not
get
further
into
the
disease
threshold.
AA
So
there
is
some
factors
that
weigh
in
there
and
once
again
there
are
going
to
organic
products
that
I
I
wouldn't
want
to
expose
staff
to,
and
there
are
synthetic
products
I
wouldn't
want
to
expose
staff
to
it's
really
about
product
selection
and
finding
a
product
that
works
for
us
and
in
the
rose
garden
we're
still
in
the
trial.
We
don't
know
what
works
for
us.
AA
O
Okay
and
we're
doing
a
lot
of
different
experimentation
across
the
entire
system,
with
how
we
want
to
approach
this
are.
Is
there
an
internal
working
group
that
is
bringing
together
all
the
people
that
are
working
on
these
various
trials
and
pilots
to
have
them,
have
conversations
about
what
they're,
seeing
as
being
effective?
AA
Commissioner,
we
do
have
an
internal
ipm
group
that
meets
semi-regularly
as
topics
come
up
and,
at
you
know
appropriate
times
of
the
year,
but
mainly
these
these
discussions
are
had
within
work
groups
because
they
are
so
different.
Natural
resources
is
obviously
a
much
different
approach
than
formal
gardening
would
be,
but
those
of
us
that
have
overlapped
do
communicate
really
regularly.
AA
I
know
that
I
communicate
really
regularly
with
the
golf
course
folk
at
hiawatha,
where
the
european
chafers
were
first
seen
and
communicating
with
our
premier
athletic
field
staff,
so
those
communication
lines
are
really
open,
but
but
we
do
have
a
lot
of
silos,
because
the
nature
of
the
work
is
so
different
depending
on
the
land
type.
But
there
is
an
internal
group
that
meets
regularly.
O
Okay,
great,
so
I'm
glad
to
hear
that
the
folks
that
are
doing
the
same
type
of
land
management
are
communicating
regularly
with
each
other
to
to
communicate
out.
What's
working.
What's
not
that's
great,
you
had
talked
about
changing
to
electronic
record.
Keeping
is
that
also
being
adopted
by
the
golf
courses?
I
know.
Sometimes
they
don't
adopt
some
of
the
practices
that
are
adopted
by
operations
environment
overall
as
quickly.
So
I
just
wanted
to
verify
that
golf
is
also
making
that
transition
so
that
we're
able
to
collect
that
data
in
a
timely
manner.
AA
Absolutely
golf
is
they've
really
dug
in
we're
still
working
on
how
quickly
they
can
upload
records,
but
they
were
able
to
upload
the
majority
of
their
records
for
2020
themselves,
but
we
did
on
board
two
new
golf
course
foremen
that
we
have
to
get
up
to
speed,
not
only
training
but
then
get
them
into
the
system.
So
they
are
actively
part
of
of
the
work.
O
Fantastic,
you
also
talked
about
turf
conditions
at
theo
and
the
pilot,
that's
underway
there
to
reduce
pesticides,
were
turf
conditions
at
theater
worth
on
the
course
comparable.
Before
and
after
the
implementation
of
that
reduction
pilot.
AA
Yes,
so
the
golf
course
foreign
chris
ammack
last
year
was
at
theater
worth,
but
he
was
also
out
at
meadowbrook,
so
he
actually
started
the
pilot
program
at
theater
worth
and
then
because
he
was
overseeing
two
golf
courses.
Last
year
he
already
began
implementing
at
meadowbrook
the
course
conditions
were
very
similar
to
the
year
prior.
AA
That
was
one
of
the
key
things
is
that
the
golf
clientele
needed
to
be
their
expectations
needed
to
be
met,
and
I
know
he's
already
begun
implementing
this
at
meadowbrook
and
he's
training
in
the
new
form
and
at
work
on
on
the
process.
O
Fantastic,
so
since
we
are
seeing
comparable
conditions
but
with
significantly
reduced
pesticide
use,
is
it
possible
for
that
approach
to
be
utilized
at
all
the
courses
moving
forward
like
are
we
do
we
have
a
plan
for
now
that
we're
getting
another
course
online
is
hiawatha
next,
then
columbia
like?
Are
we
looking
at
how
we
implement
that
across
the
entire
system,.
AA
This
might
be
a
better
question
for
someone
else,
but
I
know
what
hiawatha,
because
the
same
foreman
also
does
fort
snelling
he's
more
focused
on
organics,
because
that
was
kind
of
what
he
was
tasked
with
and
also
he's
dealing
with
the
european
shaffer
right
now.
So
he's
got
a
little
bit
of
a
different
demand
on
him
right
now,
but
if
there's
someone
from
recreation
or
jeremy
barrick,
if
you
have
any
insight
on
on
the
other
courses,
I
I
do
not
have
a
great
answer.
O
O
B
AA
M
Slightly
better
yeah,
I
don't
know
that
we
need
a
unless
there's
something
in
this
resolution
that
gave
us
a
deadline
specifically.
O
Okay,
great,
thank
you
and
then
my
last
question
have
we
notified
the
mda
about
the
european
shaffer
infestations
that
we're
seeing
throughout
the
system.
O
AA
O
Thank
you
so
much
for
making
sure
that
we're
keeping
them
in
the
loop
since
this
does
have
the
impact
it
does
have
the
potential
to
have
a
huge
impact
on
the
metro
area.
With
that,
I
have
no
further
questions.
I'm
not
seeing
any
additional
questions
from
my
colleagues
on
the
committee
or
on
the
larger
board.
O
So
I
will
ask
secretary
ringgold
to
please
call
the
role
on
this
resolution.
Thank
you
so
much
for
being
here
with
us
this
evening,
ms
ryan
and
eric.
O
W
W
H
X
Yes,
chair
visa
I'd
be
happy
to
give
a
presentation.
Thank
you
we'll
give
secretary
ringle
the
moment
to
bring
it
up,
but
I
will
just
note,
while
she's
doing
that,
that
this
is
a
usually
biannual
process,
sometimes
annual
process
of
approving
those
projects
that
staff
will
submit
into
the
bonding
cycle
with
the
state
legislature.
X
X
So
the
four
projects,
as
were
just
read
in
the
resolution,
are
a
park
infrastructure,
climate
change,
resiliency
project
of
up
to
12
million
dollars.
This
is
was
included
as
a
budget
goal
this
year
and
then
three
projects
that
have
been
submitted
in
some
form
before
north
commons
vision,
grand
rounds
missing
link
and
the
waterworks
riverside
phase.
I'll
note
for
the
commission
for
the
committee
that
the
state
has
changed
the
way
it
is
asking
for
submittals
from
local
governments.
X
X
X
X
So
this
request,
which
is
not
completely
defined
yet,
would
include
a
suite
of
projects
within
our
master
plans
that
are
designed
to
mitigate
the
impacts
of
climate
change.
So
this
is
a
little
bit
general
right
now
and
staff
are
going
to
continue
to
work
on
exactly
what
this
package
of
project
is.
We
want
tangible
projects
in
a
variety
of
legislative
districts
so
that
this
can
be
sold
to
the
legislature
by
our
lobbying
team.
X
So
we
recognize
that
it's
a
little
bit
vague
right
now,
but
this
project
could
include
things
like
trail
relocations
or
transformations
to
boardwalks,
which
is
included
in
our
master
plans.
So
more
of
a
permeable
surface,
parkway
roadway
and
parking
lot,
relocation,
elimination
or
redesign
say
using
permeable
surfaces
again
raised
and
redesigned
bridges.
We
do
have
several
bridges
that
are
being
impacted
by
water
right
now
and
then
also
additional
flood
and
storm
water
management
areas
that
also
provide
habitat
benefits,
which
are
called
for
in
several
master
plans,
as
well
as
the
ecological
system.
X
Next
slide,
please
I'll
show
a
couple
of
images
from
master
plans
for
what
this
could
look
like.
This
is
a
vision
from
the
minnehaha
creek
master
plan
adopted
recently
notice.
This
is
a
landscape
that
involves
a
variety
of
ecological
as
well
as
recreational
benefits,
with
trails
that
are
out
of
the
floodway
and
a
more
meandering
creek
that
actually
provides
better
flood
storage
and
also
better
recreational
amenity.
So
this
is
the
kind
of
project
that
is
very
resilient
and
was
designed
as
such
and
could
be
included
in
this
package
next
slide.
X
Please
another
example
here
is
in
the
bidet
macaska
harriet
master
plan,
where
there
is
a
vision
to
actually
create
different
shorelines
with
boardwalks
along
them,
rather
than
pervious
trails,
so
there's
several
locations
around
the
lakes
where
this
is
envisioned
to
better
manage
lake
bounce
and
storm
water,
and
so
this
is
another
piece
that
could
be
included
in
such
a
project.
Next
slide
I'll
move
on
to
the
second
request
that
we're
proposing,
which
is
the
north
commons
community
center
you'll,
all
remember
this
from
last
year.
X
The
park
board
has
allocated
2.5
million
dollars
in
its
own
cip,
and
we
were
successful
in
getting
5.3
million
allocated
by
the
state
of
minnesota.
In
2020
we
did
have
an
11.25
million
dollar
request,
however,
so
this
request
this
year
would
be
part
two
of
that
same
phase.
One
implementation,
not
a
phase
two
implementation,
just
a
completion
of
the
funding
and
that
phase
one
does
include
the
new
community
center,
an
expanded
and
revised
water
park
and
new
parking.
It
does
not,
I
want
to
clarify
for
anyone
listening
at
home.
X
It
does
not
include
the
artificial
turf
field
nor
the
seasonal
sports
dome.
There
has
been
concern
about
that
in
the
past.
All
we
are
asking
for
is
a
completion
of
funding
for
the
same
phase,
one
project
not
going
beyond
the
northeastern
corner
of
the
site.
Next
slide,
you
can
see,
as
shown
in
this
graphic,
the
outlined
area
in
red
is
the
project
area
we're
envisioning
here
same
as
same
as
two
years
ago,
next
slide.
X
The
last
two
projects
have
to
do
are
things
that
we've
brought
forward
before
one
is
the
grand
rounds
missing
link?
This
would
be
a
12
million
dollar
project
to
implement
trails
on
the
portions
that
are
currently
city
owned
and
which
we
do
have
partnership
with
the
city
where
we
could
do
this
work,
that's
most
notably
along
industrial
boulevard
and
also
along
27th
avenue
nearer
the
mississippi
river
next
slide.
X
And
the
final
project
is
the
waterworks
riverside
phase.
There
was
some
talk
earlier
tonight
about
the
grand
opening
of
the
waterworks
mezzanine
phase.
Our
work
is
not
quite
yet
complete.
The
riverside
phase
would
expose
some
of
the
historical
resources
that
are
still
available
there,
as
well
as
provide
additional
river
access.
X
X
So
just
to
recap,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
there's
a
good
suite
of
projects
that
range
across
the
city,
but
that
there
aren't
too
many,
because
we
don't
want
to
overwhelm
the
legislators
and
those
are
the
four
that
staff
are
proposing.
Obviously
one
again
was
a
budget
goal
and
three
are
things
that
we've
asked
for
before.
I've
heard
good
guidance
from
our
lobbying
team
that
we
want
to
close
the
loop
on
those
ones
that
we've
been
talking
about
before
we
move
on
into
brand
new
things
if
we
can
help
it.
X
H
Thank
you
very
exciting.
H
First
of
all,
I
I
have
a
huge
apology.
The
26th
avenue
overlook
huge
huge
error
on
my
behalf
to
say
that
the
state
contributed
is
that
the
right
word
anyway,
three
million
dollars
towards
that
thanks
to
representative
julie.
So
you
know
how
important
it
is
that
those
legislative
agendas
you
know
that
there
had
been
and
and-
and
it
just
excites
me-
I
am
particularly
excited
about
the
park
infrastructure.
H
You
know
we
talked
earlier
about
the
refractory
and
the
need
to
move
the
saline
school.
Well,
everybody
wants
that
refractory
to
happen
as
soon
as
possible.
But
if
you
look
closely
at
the
edge
of
that
lake,
it
is
in
such
horrible
condition,
and
you
know
we're
losing
trails.
We
have
a
a
a
completely
unusable
northwest
athletic
field
because
of
drainage
issues.
H
So
I
mean
this
really
addresses
what
everybody
sees
but
they're,
not
aware
of,
and
I
I
think
that
you
know.
One
of
the
things
I
would
really
really
appreciate
is
how
we
can
raise
people's
awareness
of
how
essential
that
legisl.
That
particular
item
is
it
like.
I
say
I
don't
think
that
people
are
really
truly
aware
of
how
degraded
our
our
infrastructure
is.
So
I
really
appreciate
that
we're
putting
this
in
number
one
and
look
forward
to
putting
flesh
on
it.
So
thank
you.
As
usual,
mr
roberson.
I
O
Sweet
thank
you,
chair
vita.
I
appreciate
this
opportunity
to
speak.
I'm
not
on
this
committee,
I'm
interested
in
understanding
when
the
package
of
infrastructure,
climate
change,
resiliency
projects
would
be
presented
to
the
board
for
consideration
and
decision
making.
Is
that
going
to
be
at
our
first
meeting
in
june
or
second
meeting
in
june
or
when
will
that
happen.
X
O
X
Chair
v
talk,
commissioner,
music,
there's
a
couple
of
ways
that
that
could
go.
I
think,
if
it's
a
matter
of
informing
the
board,
what
is
included
in
the
package
so
that
you
have
knowledge
to
work
with
the
legislature's
legislators,
then
we
can
submit
that
either
just
to
you
directly
or
as
a
pnc
around
the
time
that
it
is
submitted.
O
W
Thank
you,
commissioner.
Music.
I
have
a
couple
questions.
One
is
I'm
concerned
also
about
the
specific
goals
for
the
resiliency
project,
so
I
am
interested
to
know
exactly
what
we're
gonna
factor
into
this,
and
you
know
how
we
ask
for
money.
I
also
have
a
question
for
council
rice
about
the
ranking
order
of
this.
Like
I,
I
want
to
know
your
opinion
council
rice
since
you're
the
person
usually
delivering
this
message
and
asking
for
the
money
is
dick,
like
what
do
you
think
about
the
ranking
order
of
this.
T
President
veto,
what
I
would
say
to
the
board
is
this,
and
I
think
it's
been
my
philosophy
for
a
number
of
years,
once
the
board
decides
to
put
something
on
this
request
to
the
legislature.
I
think
it's
a
very
serious
step.
T
You
should
understand
what
it
is
you're
asking
for
and
why
you're
asking
for
it,
commissioner
forney
you
referenced
the
26th
avenue
overlook.
T
That
was
on
the
board's
agenda,
for
I
think,
eight
years
before
we
got
the
money
for
seven
years,
but
we
got
it
and
likewise
the
phillips
pool
and
jim
was
on
the
agenda,
for
you
know,
probably
five
years
before
we
got
it,
east
phillips
was-
and
I
think
three
of
these
four
priorities
are
very
clear,
very
well
vetted
and
things
we've
worked
on
at
the
legislature
before
and
that's
north
commons
grand
rounds
missing,
link
and
waterworks.
T
We've
put
considerable
time
talking
into
north
commons,
that
kind
of
came
on
just
a
year
or
two
ago.
It
rose
to
the
top
in
part,
because
we
had
a
tour
with
commissioner,
franz
friends
and
lieutenant
governor
flanagan
took
an
interest
in
it,
and
last
year
was
a
big
equity
issue,
and
so
north
commons
rose
rather
quickly,
but
still
is
only
partially
completed.
T
If
I
were
ranking
this,
I
would
put
that
as
number
one
grand
rounds
missing
link
is
something
this
board's
tried
to
do
for
100
years
and
got
put
on
the
agenda
just
last
year,
and
water
works
is
a
project
that,
as
commissioner
forney
also
said,
is
opening
yet
this
week,
but
it
was
a
more
comprehensive
project
and
I
would
rank
north
commons
missing.
Link
and
water
works
in
a
one
two
three
fashion.
I
would
not
recommend
you
list
the
park
infrastructure,
climate
change.
Resiliency
project
is
number
one.
T
I
think
that
that
is
clearly
a
huge
issue,
but
I
also
think
you
have
to
look
at
your
audience
and
as
well.
We
recognize
climate
change
as
real
and
affecting
our
property
and
the
world.
T
I'm
not
necessarily
sure
that
selling
it
that
way
to
a
republican
legislature
would
probably
get
the
same
reaction
at
this
point
or
at
least
the
republican
senate,
and
I
also
think
we
we
did
work,
do
a
lot
of
work
just
last
week
at
chair,
lee's,
request
about
possible
federal
projects
and
federal
water
projects,
but
I
honestly
have
to
say
that
I
would
rather
see
the
board
come
up
with
definitive.
T
Well
spelled
out
projects
that
you.
You
know
that
you're
asking
the
legislature
for
so
we
can
defend
them
and
you
can
defend
them.
When
your
legislators
talk
to
you,
I
I
I
think
that
there's
no
doubt
a
12
million
dollar
need
for
park
infrastructure,
climate
work,
but
that's
rather
nebulous
and
vague.
At
this
point,
and
at
least
in
my
experience,
the
rating
people
at
the
state
would
probably
I
think
the
goal
is
great
there
and
the
need
is
great,
but
I
really
think
you
want
to
be
able
to
present
to
the
worst.
T
I
we
I'm
a
salesperson.
Pamela
is
too
it's
our
job,
to
kind
of
take
your
ideas
and
then
sell
them
to
legislators,
and
I
think,
having
concrete
examples
of
what
it
is.
You're
we're
trying
to
sell
is
gonna
we're
gonna
be
much
more
effective,
rather
than
a
more
nebulous
concept
that
would
give
us
to
give
us.
I
it's
not
a
blank
check
that
we're
asking
for,
but
I
I
think
any
city
in
the
state
could
start
saying:
they've
got
you
know
a
12
or
20
or
50
million
dollar
need
to
respond
to
resiliency
changes.
T
So
that's
my
opinion.
I
I
would
change
the
order
and
start
with
north
commons
first
and
then
go
down,
and
then
I
would
encourage
the
board
to
probably
look
at
you
know
three.
Four:
five:
we
had
about
a
half
a
dozen
projects
that
were
all
good
projects
that
we
were
looking
at
with
representative
lee
last
week
on
this
climate
change
issue.
But
my
recommendation
is
before
the
board,
because
you
have
to
have
this
resolution
to
submit
it
to
the
state
of
minnesota.
It's
not
a
it's,
not
a
staff
recommendation.
T
It's
the
minneapolis
park
and
recreation
elected
nine
members
of
the
board
that
are
formally
making
a
request
to
the
minnesota
legislature
for
projects
which,
if
granted
you
know,
the
understanding,
is
that
this
board
will
implement.
X
Arvidson,
thank
you,
chair
vita.
I
just
want
to
make
a
quick
clarification
to
council
rice's
comments
that
in
an
earlier
slide,
it
was
stated
that
we're
going
to
refine
the
ask
on
the
climate
change
resiliency
project.
I
certainly
do
not
intend
to
submit
a
vague
project
that
looks
like
a
blank
check.
We
will
develop
specific
projects
with
more
specific
cost
estimates.
X
H
Yes,
I
I
would
like
to
keep
this
as
a
number
one
priority.
It
is
paramount
to
me,
it
really
is
and
it
speaks
so
much
to
what
this
park
system
is
and
we
can
morph
it
in
probably
a
lot
of
ways.
I
trust
staff
to
address
it,
but
the
climate
change
issues
that
are
so
critical
in
north
minneapolis
and
we,
you
know,
hear
you
know
at
every
meeting
how
critical
it
is
to
deal
with
the
issues
of
north
minneapolis.
H
I
I
I
trust
they
have
to
to
come
to
us
with
some
tangibles
and
everything.
I
also
appreciate
you
know.
Definitely
you
know
counselor
isis.
You
know
that
we
need
to
make
something
incredibly
tangible
to
sell
this,
and
so
I
would
like
to
keep
it
as
number
one
pass
it
as
it
is
and
rely
on
staff
to
to
bring
forward
to
us
something
that
is
saleable.
Even
to
republicans,
I
said
that.
W
Thank
you,
commissioner
forney.
I
I
definitely
am
looking
forward
to
the
the
the
more
descriptive
items
that
staff
is
going
to
provide,
I'm
not
sure
about
the
the
order
at
this
point,
but
I
will
vote
in
support
of
it
to
move
this
forward.
I
do
think
prop.
Priorities
are
north
minneapolis
and
you
know
some
of
the
the
the
other
items
listed
here,
because
we
got
so
much
support
from
our
legislative
body
around
those
issues,
and
I
would
like
to
see
that
work
continue.
W
So
I'm
not
opposed
to
I'm
not
completely
opposed
to
the
order,
but
will
reserve
you
know
my
my
strongest
opinion
until
we
see
what
those
items
will
be
as
related
to
the
12
million
dollars.
W
D
L
H
H
Thank
you.
We
have
two
action
items.
The
first
one
is
resolution
2021
215
resolution,
approving
a
fundraising
agreement
between
the
minneapolis
park
and
recreation
board
and
the
phelps
activities
council
intended
to
support
conversion
of
a
natural
turf
field
to
an
artificial
turf
field
at
fels
field
park,
a
part
of
minneapolis
park
system.
O
Thank
you,
chair
fourny,
I'm
interested
in
understanding
how
the
delays
that
this
agreement
will
cause
and
implementation
of
the
athletic
field.
Improvements
is
going
to
be
communicated
to
the
public
and
also
in
understanding
whether
or
not
any
substitutes
for
chrome
rubber
have
been
identified
that
do
not
have
the
potential
health
concerns
that
are
associated
with
the
crumb
rubber
fill
that
is
typically
used
in
artificial,
serve.
B
Yes,
thank
you,
chair
foreign
and
thank
you,
commissioner,
music,
for
the
question.
The
first
one
relative
to
our
plan
capital
improvement
project.
We
did
put
a
project
out
to
bid.
It
turns
out
that
it
came
back
over
bid
and
we're
having
to
reject
the
bids.
B
We
wouldn't
really
take
it
back
to
the
bidding
market
until
next
year,
anyway,
at
this
time,
and
so
we
have
to
communicate
the
fact
that
we
are
delaying
the
improvements
by
one
year
to
the
public.
We
just
that's
a
an
instance
that
came
up
almost
concurrent
with
this
item,
because
the
bids
just
came
in
so
we
would
be
delaying
it
and
we
would
be
essentially
reinitiating
that
process
about
the
same
time
next
year,
so
it
actually
would
align
well
with
the
term
of
the
fundraising
agreement
we
picked.
B
May
1st
of
2022
as
being
the
point
at
which
the
funds
would
have
to
be
raised
to
to
your
second
question.
O
Before
you
move
on
to
my
second
question,
we
have
received
grant
funds
to
implement
athletic
field
improvements
in
this
location.
Are
those
funds
required
to
be
sent
by
a
certain
date.
B
Commissioner,
music,
I'm
I'm
certain
that
director
swenson
can
send
me
a
text
to
answer
that
question
and
I'll
get.
But
I
think.
B
Yes,
that's
why
I
was
going
to
jump
to
the
second
question
so
relative
to
the
to
the
infill
material
used
on
any
artificial
turf
that
we
would
bring
forward
as
a
new
construction
or
a
significant
rehabilitation
of
an
artificial
turf
field.
We
passed
a
resolution,
the
board
passed
a
resolution
and
I
believe
2017
saying
that
before
we
embarked
on
any
other
turf,
the
artificial
turf
field,
we
would
bring
to
the
board
the
latest
information
on
crumb
rubber
replacements
for
chrome
robber
infill.
J
B
Communications,
let
me
frame
it
this
way.
We
know
there
are
several
other
alternatives
to
chrome
rubber.
We
don't
know
which
is
actually
the
best
alternative
at
this
point.
O
B
And
so
direct
response,
I
can
maybe
elaborate
on
this
a
little
more.
There
are
some
organic
infill
materials
that
that
could
be
used.
There
are
also
some
essentially
some
non-organic
replacements,
and
we
just
don't
know
yet,
which
is
the
best
at
this
time,
and
I
don't
know.
E
O
Yeah
and
on
the
organic
and
fill
options,
I
guess
I'd
also
like
to
understand
if
those
require
herbicide
treatments
to
manage
weed
growth
on
them,
because
that
was
something
that
we
had
identified
as
a
potential
concern
back
in
2016..
We
were
talking
about
this
for
quite
a
bit.
V
Yeah
performing
commissioner
music
assistant
superintendent
schroeder
is
correct.
There
are
some
alternatives,
we're
looking
into
them
now
there
are
some
that
are
being
installed
in
the
eastern
side
of
the
metro
area,
so
we'll
be
evaluating
those
I'm
not
sure
about
the
herbicide
application.
V
There's
there's
a
there's,
a
few
more
fields
that
have
used
this
other
application
in
the
in
wisconsin.
So
our
intention
is
this
summer
to
try
to
get
there
and
take
a
look
at
them.
Talk
to
operation
staff
and
see
what's
required.
V
V
We
did
provide
an
update
to
the
county
that
we
were
out
for
bid,
so
we
would
let
them
know
that
that
bits
came
in
high
and
and
what
our
delay
is
and
just
keep
them
up
to
date
and
they've
been
fairly
receptive
to
our
request
for
extension
extension.
So
I
I
wouldn't
expect
that
we
would
have
an
issue
with
that.
H
H
D
G
J
Answer
is
most
of
the
questions
I
wanted
to
ask
about,
and
that's
even
really.
H
Oh,
I
appreciate
it
good,
good,
okay,
okay,
so
I'm
not
seeing
any
other
hands
up
and
everything.
So
I
have
a
couple
questions.
Sorry,
but
assistant
superintendent,
donald
trudeau.
You
just
turned
off
there.
So
what
is
the
longevity
of
artificial
turf.
B
Sheriff
chairforney,
I
I
think
it
actually
varies
with
the
type
of
field
and
infill
and
the
pat
and
again
not
too
much
different
than
our
the
natural
turf
fields,
the
pat
the
intensity
of
use
that
goes
on
with
those
even
with
artificial
turf
fields.
If
we
see
it
in
some
of
ours,
we
see
wear
patterns
and
essentially
the
carpet,
so
to
speak
in
those
areas
around
the
the
goal
zone
in
in
soccer
fields.
So
it's
really
hard
to
predict.
B
B
We-
and
that
is
one
of
the
things
that
the
artificial
turf
field
in
in
this
case,
the
arguments
made-
is
that
those
that's
field
at
phelps
field
park
could
be
more
intensively
used
than
what
what
it
is
right
now
is
a
natural
turf
field,
but
but
like
natural
turf
fields,
you're
hitting
on
a
point,
that's
important.
H
Thank
you.
I
don't
make
a
big
deal
out
of
it,
but
whenever
we've
had
artificial
fields,
I've
voted
against
it.
It
just
fundamentally
seems
counter
to
everything
that
natural
parks.
Okay,
I
understand
the
intensity.
I
understand
you
know
a
use
of
of
our
fields.
I
I
I
I
guess
I
would
rather
see
us
all
go
on
a
path
of.
How
can
we
rest
our
soils?
You
know
so
that
they
are
usable.
H
In
a
more
continuous
fashion-
and
I'm
not
just
talking
about
fields,
I'm
talking
about
our
entire
system-
I
mean
the
the
one
that
you
know
to
me,
of
course,
because
it's
so
close
to
me
and
everything
like
that
is
thomas
beach.
That
I
mean
literally,
those
grounds
are
concrete
right
now
and
if
we
want
to
talk
about
climate
resiliency,
they
are
not
doing
anything
to
enhance
the
water
quality
in
our
lakes.
H
In
in
I,
I
would
really
like
to
forward
to
staff
to
come
up
with
some
sort
of
a
policy
of
how
we
can
rest
our
soils
throughout
the
system
fields.
You
know
the
loring
park
at
all
of
these
places
that
are
are,
I
just
were
grounding
into
them
over
and
over
again,
and-
and
so
I
rather
has
come
up
with
a
policy.
H
I
mean
hearing
that
whatever
longevity
might
be
15
years
and
we're
going
to
have
to
come
up
with
the
same
amount
of
money
to
put
in
another
one
seems
just
like
that's
not
fiscally
responsible.
As
far
as
I'm
concerned,
I'd
rather
rest
our
field.
Yes,
we
would
lose
maybe
revenues
for
a
year
or
maybe
you
know
the
activities
and
everything,
but
I
just
feel
very
strongly
that
in
the
long
term
this
is
not
a
prudent
way
to
go,
and
I
guess
there's.
The
other
thing
is:
where
do
those
turf
fields
go
once
they're
finished?
H
Do
they
just
go
into
landfills?
So
I
I
have
a
real
value
conflict
with
this,
so
I
am
going
to
be
voting
no
on
this.
I
appreciate
phelps
for
wanting
to
do
the
fundraising,
but
I
I
just
my
own.
I
I
can't
do
this
so
anyway.
I
don't
see
any
other
hands
up.
So
if
the
secretary
oh
excuse
me,
I'm
not
sure
that
we
have
officially.
H
G
O
O
So
I
don't
need
a
presentation,
but
I
would
just
like
to
get
on
the
record
noting
how
incredibly
obnoxious
it
is
to
see
these
ditched
all
over
the
system
and
I'm
hopeful
that
with
designating
locations
for
them
to
be
dropped
off
and
picked
up
that,
we
will
see
less
of
them
tossed
in
fountains
and
lakes
and
creeks,
and
blocking
trails
and
entrances
to
buildings.
O
H
Any
other
comments-
okay,
I
I
can
concur
with
commissioner
music.
I
have
great
difficulty
when
they're
dropped
across
a
path.
You
know
I've
seen
them
in
the
the
lake.
It's
it
really
is
quite
discarding.
So
I
appreciate
that
this
is
a
one-year
agreement
and
I
guess
I'm
saying
you're
on
patrol
or
what's
that
called
whatever
notice.
H
Okay,
anyway,
that
these
need
to
be
put
in
proper
places.
You
know
I
whatever
that
qualifies
as,
but
I
I
put
it
on
these
two
vendors
to
to
do
that
and
hopeful
that
people
comply
and
be
respectful.
So
with
that
will
the
secretary
please
call
the
roll.
L
I
L
H
Thank
you
pass
this
and
the
word
I
was
looking
for
was
probation.
Okay,
so
I
will
declare
the
committee
adjourned.
I
think
we're
going
into
closed
session.
A
C
We
are
so
and
in
just
about
60
seconds,
you
will
be
asked
to
go
into
a
breakout
room,
except
that
it's
going
to
take,
maybe
a
little
bit
of
time
just
for
us
to
make
sure
we
secured
it
as
a
actually
we.
A
L
C
I
A
J
A
Very
good
there's
been
a
motion
in
a
sec
and
a
second
I'll
ask
the
secretary
to
take
the
role
on
going
into
closed
session.
J
C
C
C
I'm
just
checking
tim
are,
you
confirmed,
our
broadcast
is.
