A
B
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
don't
wish
to
pull
anything
for
discussion,
but
just
I
have
not
yet
been
able
to
take
staff
up
on
their
offer
to
brief
us
on
some
of
the
developments
with
the
upper
harbor,
and
so
I
there's
a
few
items
I'll
be
voting
against,
but
not
because
I
may
be
changing
my
vote
by
the
time
we
get
to
full
council.
So
just
wanted
to
make
that
known.
C
D
D
We
propose
amending
mco362.45
to
strike
the
specific
language
limiting
package
size
and
replace
it
with
malt
liquor
shall
be
packaged
in
a
container
or
a
combination
of
containers
permitted
under
minnesota
statute
348.29
or
any
subsequent
amendment
or
revision.
There,
too,
with
this
proposed
change.
Any
subsequent
amendments
to
state
legislation
with
respect
to
packaging
size
will
not
require
further
amendments
to
minneapolis
code
of
ordinances.

Are

mr

None!
Thank

We
will
open
the
public
hearing
on
item
number
one
with
regard
to
off
sale,
malt
liquor,
packaging
and
sales.
Is
there
anyone
here
to
speak
to
this
issue,
anyone
anyone
seeing
none,
we'll
close
the
public
hearing
council
member

A
G
Good
afternoon,
chair
goodman
committee
members,
I'm
emily
stern,
with
cped
business
development.
The
this
action
before
you
today
is
seeking
council
authorization
for
the
sale
of
city-owned
property
at
800,
washington,
avenue
south
to
the
developer,
800,
washington,
ave
llc
for
3.2
million
dollars
and
the
approval
of
easements
and
development
terms
as
a
basis
for
a
redevelopment
contract,
as
described
in
the
attached
term
sheet
in
2018.
G
Cped
staff
issued
a
request
for
proposals
for
this
property,
also
known
as
the
guthrie
liner
parcel
later
that
year,
council
authorized
exclusive
development
rights
to
aecom
for
a
mixed-use
project
and
authorized
staff
to
negotiate
the
terms
of
a
redevelopment
contract
after
a
number
of
administrative
extensions
due
to
a
reconfiguration
of
uses
and
covert
related
market
impacts.
The
council
on
december
in
december,
2020
granted
another
extension
of
exclusive
rights
to
the
development
team
for
six
months,
with
the
option
to
extend
through
the
end
of
2021,
which
was
subsequently
granted
by
the
cpet
director.
G
G
G
H
Thank
you,
ma'am
sure.
I
would
just
like
to
wish
the
developers
great
luck.
Thank
you
for
the
report.
You've
stuck
with
this
project
for
a
long
time,
but
thanks
for
all
the
patience-
and
I
wish
you
the
best
success,
it's
so
exciting
to
have
these
affordable
home
ownership
opportunities.
That's
that's
a
big
must
for
for
this
community
and
thank
you
for
coming
to
meeting
with
me
personally,
so
I
can
understand
this
project
even
better.
Thank
you.
A
A
Okay,
so
that's
a
motion
to
approve
the
staff
recommendation,
further
comments
and
questions
sing,
not
all
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye
aye
any
opposed.
That
item
is
approved.
We'll
move
on
to
our
last
public
hearing
item,
which
is
item
number
three,
which
is
the
land
conveyance
and
tax
increment
financing
plan
that
both
require
public
hearing,
as
well
as
a
number
of
other
items
associated
with
the
property
at
the
upper
harbor
terminal.
C
C
The
actions
taken
last
fall
on
those
before
you
today
advance
the
city's
public
infrastructure
and
set
the
stage
for
private
development
at
upper
harbor.
The
actions
address,
revised
development
terms,
contracts
and
financing
related
to
the
public
infrastructure
project,
including
establishing
the
ever
harbor
infrastructure,
tif
district
and
lanc
advance
for
development,
parcel
6a.
C
C
The
parcel
parcels
under
exclusive
development
rights
are
hot
rights,
are
highlighted
in
orange
on
the
map,
development
parcel
1b
is
a
riverfront
parcel
highlighted
in
blue.
Over
the
past
seven
months,
the
city
mprv
and
the
development
team
have
refined
the
construction,
sequencing
of
city
infrastructure
the
park
and
power
line
relocation.
C
As
a
result,
some
project
timelines
are
further
out.
Accordingly,
the
revised
terms
for
the
exclusive
rights
agreement
include
revised
dates
for
due
diligence
milestones
for
each
parcel
to
allow
for
the
necessary
infrastructure
improvements.
The
milestone
dates
for
development
parcel
1b
are
pushed
out
by
one
year.
As
a
result
of
this
development,
parcel
6a
will
be
able
to
advance
ahead
of
1b.
In
the
meantime,
pre-development
continues
on
1b.
C
C
C
Another
key
step
in
implementation
for
the
redevelopment
of
upper
harbor
is
establishing
the
upper
harbor
infrastructure,
tif
district
to
fund
a
portion
of
the
city's
public
infrastructure
costs.
This
is
one
of
two
public
hearing
items
in
today's
actions.
This
action
is
to
approve
the
upper
harbor
infrastructure,
tif
plan
for
development
parcels,
2,
3,
4
and
5..
C
C
If
approved,
this
will
be
a
redevelopment
tif
district,
where
the
tif
generated
from
the
commercial
developments
on
parcels,
3,
4
and
5
will
cover
a
portion
of
the
city's
cost
of
public
infrastructure.
The
commercial
developments
subject
to
tax
increment
capture
include
proposals
for
two
buildings,
with
a
mix
of
production
and
office,
space
totaling,
approximately
180
000
square
feet
and
the
community
performing
arts
center.
C
Matthew,
hendricks
development,
finance
manager
and
finance
and
property
services
is
also
here
today
and
available
to
answer
questions
the
committee
may
have
on
this
item,
while
site
preparation
and
the
public
infrastructure
project
are
advancing,
so
is
pre-development
for
the
first
phase
of
private
development.
The
second
public
hearing
item
today
is
for
the
conveyance
of
a
portion
of
city
owned
property
at
3700,
washington
avenue
north.
This
parcel
is
highlighted
in
blue
on
the
slide.
C
C
This
is
to
construct
a
mixed-use,
affordable,
housing
development,
annual
net
ground
lease
payments
will
be
paid
to
the
city
and
dedicated
to
the
upper
harbor
special
revenue
fund,
as
approved
by
city
council,
with
adoption
of
the
coordinated
plan.
Today's
actions
include
authorizing
the
execution
of
a
redevelopment
agreement
based
on
the
development
terms
attached
to
this
report.
C
A
Thank
you,
ms
holmes,
for
your
report,
we'll
see
if
there
are
any
questions
for
the
staff
or
developers,
anyone,
okay,
seeing
no
questions.
We
will
open
the
public
hearing
on
item
number
three,
which
involves
two
public
hearings:
one
for
the
land,
conveyance
of
parcel
6a
and
the
other
for
the
tax
increment
financing
plan.
Is
there
anyone
here
to
speak
to
this
issue?
J
Thank
you,
chair
goodman
committee
members.
My
name
is
melissa
lawrence
and
I'm
here
as
an
attorney
representing
community
members
for
environmental
justice
and
the
minnesota
center
for
environmental
advocacy.
So
I'm
here
speaking
on
their
behalf
and
I'm
primarily
speaking
about
the
land
conveyance
today,
as
I'm
sure
you
all
know,
cmej
and
mca
are
currently
in
litigation
with
the
city
over
this
project,
and
just
yesterday
the
court
issued
a
scheduling
order,
setting
forth
the
next
steps
in
the
case,
to
continue
through
the
fall.
J
What
we're
asking
is
that
the
city
declined
to
take
any
further
risks
with
this
project
by
tying
up
resources
that
with
transactions
that
could
be
undone
in
litigation.
The
city
is
taking
a
risk-
and
I
also
want
to
emphasize
here
today
that
my
clients
are
not
opposed
to
any
development
at
the
parcel
and
in
fact,
cmej
has
developed
its
own
renderings
for
the
property,
so
the
community
is
really
looking
to
work
collaboratively
with
the
city
on
this
project.
J
J
This
is
a
real
concern
because
there
is
a
real
possibility
of
gentrification
as
a
result
of
this
project
and
some
of
the
city's
park
planning
documents
acknowledge
this,
so
environmental
review
is
the
place
to
analyze.
The
data
environmental
review
is
the
time
to
determine
whether
this
is
a
good
use
of
city
resources.
A
K
B
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
You
know
I
do
want
to
just
acknowledge
that
you
know
cmej
is
made
up
of
a
lot
of
constituents
of
mine
and
who
have
a
lot
of
credibility
when
it
comes
to
fighting
environmental
justice,
and
so
I
know
that
I
feel
like
it
must
have
been
at
least
six
months
ago.
I
could
have
my
timeline
wrong
when
I,
it
was
initially
thought
that
this
case
wouldn't
go
very
far.
We're
still
we're
still
in
litigation.
B
I'm
not
also
not
opposed
to
to
this
particular
project,
but
I
do
think
that
there
are
some
legitimate
concerns
being
raised
by
community
about
how
this
project
is
moving
forward
and
so,
and
I'm
also
really.
I'm
also
am
concerned
about
some
of
the
the
revisions
and
I'm
happy
to
talk
to
staff
and
so,
like
I
said
earlier,
I'm
open
to
sort
of
changing
my
perspective
on
this
before
we
get
to
full
council.
B
But
I
think
today
I'm
going
to
voting
against
this
item
and
if
and
if
this
item
can't
prevail
at
committee,
I'm
happy
to
to
to
either
make
the
motion
or
entertain
a
motion
to
move
it
forward
without
recommendation.
But
I
wanted
to
give
some
of
my
rationale
and
you
know
to
this
body
to
my
colleagues,
so
thank
you.
Thank.
L
Man
and
chair
members
of
the
committee,
my
name,
is
eric
hanson,
I'm,
the
city's
economic
development
director
oversee
the
planning
and
development
of
the
upper
harbor
project
which
you
have
before
you
today
is
the
next
stage
of
development
activities
and
we're
on
a
real
unfortunate
timeline,
and
I
know
that
has
been
used
against
us,
but
that's
the
way
the
nature
of
development
works,
and
this
will
allow
us
to
do
some
of
the
important
work
to
prepare
the
site
for
development.
Now.
Is
that
the
development
you
know
what
happens
on
the
development
pads
needs
the
pads.
L
We
need
the
infrastructure
project
to
go
forward.
The
tif
plan
is
one
of
the
elements
that
is
required
for
that
to
pay
for
that
also,
the
budget
for
moving
the
transmission
line
is
also
needed.
So
that's
why
we're
bringing
it
forward
now,
as
opposed
to
waiting
to
the
the
end
of
the
adjudication
of
the
lawsuit.
A
Are
there
any
questions
for
mr
hansen?
Okay,
thank
you
for
your
report.
I'm
going
to
move
approval
of
the
staff
recommendation
again,
I'll
reiterate
what
mr
hansen
said
is
my
understanding.
Is
that
no
matter
what
is
built
there,
we're
going
to
need
to
build
roads
put
in
infrastructure
and
otherwise
create
a
tif
plan
to
move
something
forward
and
any
delay
will
be
a
delay
in
the
long
run.
A
M
A
C
A
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
committee.
My
name
is
alex
kolhas,
I'm
a
city
planner
with
the
cped
zoning
administration
section
for
you
today
is
an
appeal
of
the
decisions
of
the
zoning
board
of
adjustment
from
their
may
19th
hearing
regarding
variances
to
the
location
requirements,
the
landscaping
and
screening
requirements
and
the
surfacing
requirements
for
establishment
of
an
off-street
loading
space
which
would
be
accessory
to
a
proposed
multiple
family
dwelling
with
three
units
and
other
site
improvements
at
1329
six
feet.
Southeast.
F
F
All
right,
but
that
the
planted
front
of
the
subject
property
is
to
the
southwest
facing
sixth
street,
but
both
street
facing
sides
of
the
subject.
Property
are
regulated
as
front
yards
for
zoning
purposes
as
with
any
reverse
corner
lot.
The
existing
use
of
the
property
is
a
single
family
dwelling
with
a
detached
garage
accessed
from
an
existing
driveway
and
curb
cut
to
the
southwest
along
6th
street.
F
And
again,
the
proposal
is
to
demolish
the
existing
house
and
garage
on
the
subject:
property
for
construction
of
the
two
and
a
half
story.
Multiple
family
dwelling
with
three
units
they're
also
proposing
to
construct
a
detached
bike
shed
on
the
northeast
side
of
the
dwelling,
and
they
would
be
removing
the
existing
driveway
and
curb
cut
on
the
west
side
of
the
property.
F
They
would
they're
proposing
to
install
a
new
curb
cut
on
the
opposite
side
of
the
property
so
accessed
from
14th
avenue,
and
this
new
curb
cut
would
be
used
for
a
new
paved
area
which
would
be
constructed
on
the
subject
property.
This
new
paved
area
is
being
designated
by
the
applicant
as
a
loading
space.
F
I'll
just
provide
a
little
bit
of
additional
background
to
say
that
no
variances
were
requested
related
to
the
design
of
the
multiple
family
dwelling
itself.
For
the
bike
shed,
there
were
two
separate
variances
which
were
requested
and
approved,
and
those
bike
shed
variances
are
not
the
subject
of
today's
appeal
again.
The
appeal
is
specific
to
three
other
variances,
which
were
requested
specific
to
the
the
loading
space
and
just
to
reiterate
those
that's
a
variance
to
the
location
requirements,
otherwise
known
as
the
setback
requirements.
F
In
this
case,
issues
on
the
on
the
southeast
and
the
northeast
sides
also
a
variance
to
the
landscaping
and
screening
requirements.
I
need
to
have
a
seven
foot,
landscape
yard
and
screening
meeting
certain
requirements
again
on
those
two
same
sides
as
the
setback,
variances
and
finally,
a
variance
to
the
surfacing
requirements.
An
off-street
loading
space
is
required
to
to
be
constructed
with
materials
with
a
wheel
load
capacity
of
at
least
10
000
pounds.
In
this
case.
The
proposed
capacity
for
this
loading
space
would
be
only
8
000
pounds.
F
Second
required
finding
that
the
proposal
be
a
reasonable
use,
which
would
be
in
keeping
with
the
spirit
and
intent
of
the
ordinance
and
the
comprehensive
plan
and
third
of
finding
that
the
proposed
variants
not
alter
the
essential
character
of
the
locality
or
create
any
potential
for
injury
or
detriment
to
persons
or
property
staff.
Found
that
all
three
for
all
three
requested
variants
is
related
to
the
loading
space
staff
found
that
all
three
required
findings
would
not
be
met.
F
Only
there
were
two
written
public
comments
which
we
received
prior
to
today's
board
of
excuse
me,
which
we
received
prior
to
the
original
board
of
adjustment
hearing
on
may
19th,
and
no
additional
written
public
comments
were
received
since
that
time,
the
appellant
and
their
representatives
are
in
attendance
during
today's
hearing.
This
concludes
my
presentation,
but
I'm
happy
to
stand
for
questions.
J
A
A
Okay,
seeing
none
thank
you
so
much
for
your
report.
This
is
a
quasi-judicial
public
hearing,
the
decision
of
the
zoning
board
of
adjustment,
of
the
decision
of
the
decision
of
the
zoning
board
of
adjustment.
The
committee
has
been
provided
with
a
record
in
the
matter,
including
the
report
and
recommendations
of
the
zoning
board
of
adjustment.
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
open
the
public
hearing
on
item
number
four
for
anyone
here,
who's
here
to
speak
to
it,
please
state
your
name
and
address
for
the
record.
You
have
two
minutes.
N
Thank
you
good
afternoon.
My
name
is
william
wells
with
wellesley
company
architects,
we're
at
18
north
12th
street
suite
3961
minneapolis,
minnesota
55403,
I'm
speaking
on
behalf
of
tim
and
karen
armstrong,
the
property
owners
they
are
here
today
as
well
wells
company,
architects
focuses
on
the
design
and
construction
of
quality
student
housing.
We
have
five
projects
currently
in
designer
under
construction
in
the
university
area.
This
project
before
you
today
is
one
block
from
the
university
of
minnesota.
N
N
N
N
N
We
do
have
real
hardships
on
this
property
that
are
requiring
us
to
build
this
driveway
to
make
the
property
function
better.
We
do
not
have
an
alley
and
there
is
no
parking
allowed
on
the
city
street
adjacent
to
the
property,
so
there
are
some
real
challenges
that
are
unique
and
specific
to
just
this
parcel.
So
we
are
asking
for
support
to
build
this
driveway,
so
it
functions
better.
We
do
have
a
letter
of
support
from
the
neighbor
to
the
north.
That
would
be
affected
by
the
driveway.
N
N
So
if
you
look
at
the
site
plan,
there's
a
25
foot
setback
required
for
the
loading
unloading
spot
that
would
make
us
stripe
it
into
the
front
yard
past
the
decks.
I
don't
think
we
want
to
do
that.
So
typically,
a
car
or
suv
is
only
17
feet
long,
so
we'd
only
want
to
stripe
at
17
feet,
so
we
would
ask
for
that
condition
of
approval
that
zoning
staff
added
be
modified.
A
H
H
H
The
neighboring
dwelling
is
relatively
far
away
from
the
subject
property,
and
my
third
point
is
that
the
proposed
variants
would
not
alter
the
essential
character
of
the
locally
or
create
political
potential
for
negative
impact
to
persons
or
property
front
curve.
Cuts
and
driveways
are
common
for
residential
properties
in
this
area,
as
well
as
other
parts
of
the
city,
and
I
I
do
agree
that
the
space
should
be
striped.
A
So
council
member
rainville
is
moving
to
approve.
The
appeal
looks
like
he
has
a
handout,
also
with
his
thinking
with
regard
to
it,
which
probably
could
act
as
a
finding
of
fact
should
that
be
approved?
Are
there
further
comments
or
questions
on
council
member
rainville's
motion
seeing
none
all
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye
hi?
B
I
apologize
chair.
I
I
would
like
to
hear
from
the
attorneys
if
it's
possible,
because
I
don't
feel
like
I
understand
the
issue
well
enough,
and
so
I'm
I
want
to
be.
I
want
to
support
councilmember
rainville
as
much
as
I
can.
I
also
don't
want
to
walk
headfirst
into
an
issue
that
I'm
struggling
to
fully
grasp.
K
Thank
you,
madam
chair
and
committee
members.
I
I
have
worked
with
staff
or
looked
at
staff
with
regard
to
some
of
this
issues,
some
of
these
issues,
and
we
have
touched
base
with
the
council
members
staff
and
looked
at
and-
and
I
believe
that
what
he
has
enumerated
and
what
he
has
spoken
to
would
satisfy
a
rational
basis
to
support
the
motion
that
he's
making.
A
O
Good
afternoon,
madam
chair
and
committee
members,
I'm
here
today
with
a
commercial
property
development
fund
loan
recommendation
for
the
coliseum
project.
The
loan
itself
will
be
going
to
2700
long
fellow
coliseum.
Llc
the
coliseum
building
is
at
2708
east
lake
street
in
the
longfellow
neighborhood
built
in
1917
and
over
the
years
over.
The
past,
100
plus
years
has
been
home
to
many
different
things,
including
a
billiards
hall,
bowling
alley,
dance
halls,
music
school
and
just
recently
it
has
been
placed
on
the
national
register.
O
As
we
are
aware
in
may
of
2022
following
the
murder
of
george
floyd,
the
heart
of
east
lake
street,
which
is
where
the
coliseum
building
is
located
and
kitty
corner
from
the
third
precinct.
Building
at
minnehaha
on
lake
street
became
an
epicenter
for
the
protest
that
helped
spark
a
nationwide
protest
against
police
and
police
officer-involved
killings
of
black
people.
The
coliseum
building,
as
I
noted,
is
there
in
that
area,
where
most
buildings
were
badly
damaged
and
burned.
O
The
colosseum
building's
brick
facade
did
help
it
sustained
that
fire
such
that
the
interior
is
fully
damaged
and
it
was
condemned
by
the
city's
building
official.
But
it
was
not
a
total
loss
and
seward
redesign
was
able
to
purchase
the
property
into
2021
and
achieve
the
national
register
status
for
it.
O
Currently,
seward
redesign
owns
the
property
and
they
are
now
working
with
a
group
of
three
different
entrepreneurs
from
the
area
and
they
will
be
working
on
a
building
project
to
renovate
the
building.
It
will
have
approximately
twenty
thousand
square
feet
of
retail
on
the
first
floor
and
we'll
have
office
space
in
the
basement.
Second
and
third,
which
is
consistent
with
how
the
project
was
property,
was
used
prior
to
the
fire
in
2020.
O
As
I
mentioned
at
the
time
this
time,
the
llc
that
will
be
the
borrower
on
the
loan
is
owned
wholly
by
steward
redesign.
At
the
time
of
closing,
when
the
city
would
close
on
the
commercial
property
development
fund
loan
and
after
which
construction
would
begin,
it
will
be
owned
by
four
entities:
seward
redesign,
janice,
downing,
alicia,
belton
and
chris
montana,
and
the
four
of
them
will
own
the
property
together.
O
Chris
montana
is
the
owner
of
dinord
craft
spirits,
america's
first
black
owned
distillery,
and
for
the
past
ten
years
chris
and
dinord
have
been
committed
to
diversifying
the
craft,
spirits
community
and
actively
recruiting
underrepresented
people
to
join
the
denorde
family.
Alicia
belton
is
a
practicing
architect
with
over
30
years
of
experience
and
is
the
founding
principal
of
urban
design
perspectives.
O
Her
architecture
practice
works
with
clients
to
manage
their
design
and
building
process
process
in
the
workplace,
housing,
religious
and
hospitality
sectors.
Janice
downing
has
over
30
years
of
experience
as
a
human
resource.
Professional,
is
certified
and
professional
in
human
systems
dynamics
and
owns
commonsense
consulting,
who
provides
clients
with
strategies
and
solutions
for
fostering
workplace
inclusion,
engagement
and
performance.
O
O
The
total
project
cost
for
the
whole
redevelopment
is
just
over
30
million
dollars
and
you'll
see
they
have
a
large
capital
stack
that
they
are
putting
together
to
make
this
project
come
to
fruition.
So
they
have
historic
tax
credits.
They
have
new
markets,
tax
credit,
tax,
new
markets,
tax
credits,
private
bank
financing
from
sunrise
bank,
a
pace
loan
for
green
improvements
to
the
building.
O
I've
also
included
in
the
report
the
terms
of
the
cpdf
loan,
most
notably
that
it,
the
the
cpf
loans,
are
zero
percent
interest
over
40
years
with
forgiveness
at
the
end
of
year
40,
if
the
ownership
has
not
changed
and
the
use
of
the
structure
is
similar
to
the
day
was
approved
with
that.
I'm
here
to
stand
for
any
questions,
and
I
also
have
members
of
the
development
committee
here.
Our
development
group
here
today
to
answer
any
questions.
If
you
have
them.
A
Let
me
see
if
there
are
any
questions.
First,
it
doesn't
look
like
there's
any
questions.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
your
report.
I'd
like
to
move
approval
of
this
loan.
This
is
an
incredible
group
of
people
who
we
have
are
familiar
with.
We've
had
the
good
fortune
to
work
with
who
are
stepping
forward
during
a
very
difficult
time.
This
is
also
a
very
large
loan.
A
I
would
say
it's
one
of
the
largest,
which
probably
says
something
about
how
much
the
city
enterprise
believes
in
you,
ladies,
and
really
wants
to
see
you
succeed,
and
so
I
we
had
it
on
discussion
just
so,
we
could
hear
what's
going
on,
but
truthfully
you
know,
big
dreams
require
big
help
and
great
women
to
get
it
done,
and
you
guys
have
really
done
a
good
job
and
we're
just
really
proud
to
be
associated
with
you
all
and
your
team.
So
thank
you
for
taking
time
out
of
your
schedules
as
entrepreneurs
to
come
down.
A
B
I
think
that
when
when,
when
the
mayor
and
a
number
of
council
members
came
together
and
and
staff
really
honestly
with
their
with
their
recommendation
to
put
together
this
tool,
this
is
the
exact
kind
of
impact
we
were
hoping
that
it
would
have,
and
so
thank
you
so
much
for
for
investing
in
the
city
and
for
giving
us
an
opportunity
to
support
you
and
just
want
to
second
everything
that
councilmember
goodman
said
so.
Thank
you.
Councilmember.
E
Asman,
thank
you,
madam
chan,
same
thing
here.
This
is
the
area
that
has
been
hit
with
the
civil
unrest.
It's
a
it's
a
place
that
my
community
minority
community
is
an
immigrant
community
and
black
folks
and
everyone
is,
is
there
to
do
the
business
here.
I
know
this
building
well
and
it's
it's
really
awesome
to
see
even
sewer
redesign
doing
their
work.
They
did
a
wonderful
work
in
were
six
and
I
do
congratulate
you
and
thank
you.
That's
my
comments.
A
B
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
just
wanted
to
bring
us
back
to
item
number
three.
You
know
I've
had.
I
know
that
there
have
been
a
number
of
items
that
I've
supported
that
in
the
past
my
colleagues
have
not
supported
and
they've
allowed
those
items
to
make
it
to
full
council,
and
so
I
do
want
to
move
item
three
without
recommendation.
B
I
illustrated
why
I
wasn't
going
to
vote
for
the
affirmative,
but
I
know
that
this
is
something
that
former
colleague
councilmember
cunningham
worked
very
diligently
on.
We
didn't
always
see
eye
to
eye
on
it,
but
he
did
work
with
the
community
work
very
diligently
on
this,
with
staff
and
the
community
to
get
this
item
where
it
is,
and
I
know
that
council
member
vital
has
done
the
same,
and
so
I
would
like
to
make
the
motion
to
move
this
to
forward
this
item
without
recommendation.
