Are
there
any
items
anyone
would
like
to
pull
on
the
consent
agenda
items
6
through
sixteen
councilmember
allison.
B
I'm
sure
she's
on
her
way,
but
I
do
believe
that
councilmember
chick
tai
had
some
intention
to
discuss.
Item
number
ten.
A
Okay,
we'll
go
ahead
and
leave
item
number
10
off.
I
see
mr
hansen
is
here
so
that
won't
be
a
problem.
Then
I'm
going
to
ask
all
in
favor
of
items
six
through
nine
and
eleven
through
sixteen
signify
by
saying
aye
aye
and
he
opposed
those
items
are
approved.
I
will
note
from
members
of
the
committee
we're
using
the
red
things
to
identify
if
you
wanna
speak
rather
than
I'm
sorry.
A
Mr
hansen,
thank
you
for
being
here
today
before
we
move
on
to
you.
I
also
just
would
like
to
make
one
other
motion,
which
is
move
to
continue
item
number
five
to
may
5th.
This
is
the
quasi-judicial
public
hearing
for
a
property
at
635
van
buren,
as
well
as
item
number
19,
we're
postponing
the
rezoning
on
that
issue.
I'll
move
approval
of
those
two
items
all
in
favor
signify
by.
A
I
was
told
no
one
was
here
so
we'll
do
that
sorry,
mr
hansen,
yep,
that's
right!
We'll
go
ahead
and
open
the
public
hearing
on
item
number
five
and
see
if
there's
anyone
here
to
speak
to
that
issue.
Anyone
anyone
sing,
none
I'll
close
the
public
hearing
and
move
to
continue
item
number
five
to
may
5th
and
postpone
item
number
19
19
to
the
same
date.
All
in
favor
of
that
motion
signify
by
saying
aye
any
opposed.
That
item
is
approved.
Then
we'll
move
on
to
item
number
10.
D
That
would
be
able
to
meet
the
apprenticeship
program
and
we're
asking
for,
in
this
case
a
waiver
of
that
program
so
that
they
can
work
with
a
small
emerging
contractor.
It's
a
three-person
contractor.
The
name
is
in
the
report
and
that
allows
for
this
project
to
go
forward.
We
think
this
is
the
right
time
to
ask
for
this
waiver
they'll
meet
all
our
other
contracting
requirements.
Supp
goals
prevailing
wage,
but
this
allows
for
them
to
keep
moving.
D
E
Yeah.
Thank
you,
mr
hansen.
I
I
wonder
if
you
can
speak
a
little
bit
to
the
the
work
that
was
done
on.
E
On
trying
to
have
this
specific,
have
this
specific
project
meet
our
our
apprenticeship
policy?
Our
registered
apprenticeship
policy.
D
D
E
I
mean:
is
there?
Is
there
like?
Can
you
speak
a
little
bit
to
the
the
specific
contractor
that
bluehorn
wants
to
work
with
here,
and
you
know
why
we
why
they
didn't
choose
to?
You
know
work
directly
with
organized
labor
and
the
existing
apprenticeship
programs
and
and.
D
Yeah
folks,
so
our
our
staff,
working
with
the
contractor
or
with
the
developer,
was
looking
for
a
contractor
that
could
comply
with
the
registered
apprenticeship
program
after
going
through.
You
know,
five
or
six
different
contractors
and
looking
for
something
that
was
reasonable,
because
we
have
to
also
look
at
the
cost
of
doing
the
development
project.
D
They
settled
on
this
one
and
we're
at
a
moment
of
decision
for
us
as
a
city
of
whether
we
want
to
continue
to
support
this
project
that
has
commercial
property
development
fund.
This
is
the
east
african
developer
to
get
this
thing
forward,
or
we
could
jeopardize
it
going
forward
if
there's
more
time.
Looking
for
additional
contractors,
it
is
atypical
for
us
to
ask
for
a
waiver
of
this.
E
That's
really
helpful.
Thank
you.
B
Could
you
you
had
mentioned
that
they
are
able
to
meet
the
prevailing
wage
and
who
would
you
be
able
to
run
down
some
of
the
things
that
they
are
meeting?
Maybe
not
every
single
one,
but
some
of
the
some
of
the
standards
that
we
have
that
they
that
the
contractor
is
able
to
meet.
B
D
D
This
contractor
is
only
three
people,
so
we're
expecting
that
that's
one
of
those,
those
purchasing
where
the
city
can
use
its
purchasing
power
to
use
smaller
businesses
they
also
been
required
to
pay
prevailing
wage
and
prevailing
wages
is,
is
where
you
know,
if
you're
putting
up
drywall
you're
getting
what
everybody
in
the
market
is
paying
for
drywall.
So
that's
typically
the
market
rate,
and
there
is
a
wage
theft
ordinance
in
the
city.
B
I'm
I'm
a
big
fan
of
the
commercial
property
development
fund.
I
want
to
see
every
project
that
we
think
are
fit
to
to
be
awarded
out
of
that
fund.
I
want
to
see
every
single
one
of
them
succeed.
You
know
I
I
do
think
one
of
the
concerns
is
is
that
is
that,
how
do
we
prevent
sort
of
these
circumstances
arising
again,
and
then
we
find,
with
other
you
know,
sort
of
the
domino
effect
of
like
we're
asking
for
these
waivers
on
a
consistent
basis?
B
D
Madam
chair
council,
member
ellison,
this
is
a
unique
situation.
You
know
we
are.
We
are
expecting
that
some
of
the
cost
appreciations
are
due
to
the
pandemic
supply
chain
shortages.
D
We're
expecting
that
we
need
to
have
we're
planning
to
have
more
conversations
with
building
trades,
about
expanding,
been
working
through
our
co-op
program
as
well
to
see
if
we
can
get
more
participation
so
that
there
are
a
number,
because
this
is
not
the
only
place
where
we
see
this-
a
concern
for
some
of
our
recipients
in
the
commercial
property
development
fund
we
want
to
be.
We
want
to
act
proactively
with
with
labor
and
other
contractors
to
make
sure
that
we
aren't
seeing
this.
This
is
we
want
to
say
this
is
an
anomaly
we
want
to.
B
Well,
thank
you
for
speaking
to
that
and
that
that's
the
all
of
my
questions
and
you
and
your
team
have
done
a
tremendous
job
and
yeah.
That's
it.
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
G
A
couple
comments
I
over
here
we're
dealing
with
minority
pipeline
community
developers
that
are
new
that
are
have
to
jump
so
many
layers
to
really
get
the
funding
they
need,
and
it
sounds
like
this
waiver
is
it's
some
of
those
things
that
can
make
it
difficult
for
minority
communities
to
get
in
the
development,
and
maybe
it's
a
not
a
bad
idea
to
really
revisit
this
policy
of
waiver
that
we
have,
and
if
that
is
something
that
we
can
focus
on
districts
like
rebuilding
lake
street
and
things
like
that.
G
It's
something
that
that
I
I
would
welcome.
G
We
just
we
just
want
to
make
sure
at
the
end
of
the
day
that
we're
making
this
process
and
this
resources
easier
for
communities
that
really
need
to
get
in
and
be
be
able
to
get
this
funding
and
get
going
to
rebuild
their
community.
So
that
is
my
comment.
Thank
you.
A
Oh
see,
councilmember
truck
die.
Put
your
thing
down.
E
I
wonder
help
me
understand
how
to
do
this
correctly,
but
I
I'm
hoping
that
we
can
move
this
forward
without
recommendation.
I'm
happy
to
speak
to
that
a
little
bit
more.
If
you'd
like
now,.
A
E
Sure
go
ahead
yeah,
so
I
I
think
I
I'm
really
sensitive
and
and
understand
the
point
that
you're
making
on
ensuring
that
that
this
this
this
developer,
who
you
know
is
a
person
of
color,
is
an
immigrant
who's.
Trying
to
rebuild
on
lake
street
is
able
to
do
so
with
the
maximum
amount
of
support
from
the
city,
and
I
you
know,
I
really
appreciate
the
work
that's
been
done
here.
E
I
understand
that
we
don't
want
to
further
belabor
the
the
point
and
try
to
put
this
project
in
jeopardy,
and
I
don't
want
it,
I'm
not
that's
not
what
I'm
trying
to
do
here.
I
think
that,
like
I
think
that
there
is
direct
work,
we
can
be
doing
with
our
partners
in
in
labor
kind
of
around
the
city
within
the
different
spectrum
of
of
trades.
That
can
try
to
to
help
move
this
along
so
that
we
so
that
we
can
get
this.
E
We
can
get
this
contractor
like
certified
or
get
a
contractor
in
that
can
move
this
worker
along,
and
so
you
know
again,
I'm
not
trying
to
delay
the
whole
thing.
I'm
just
asking
like.
Let's
just
move
this
forward
without
recommendation,
we'll
take
a
vote
on
it
on
thursday
next
week
and
and
it'll
work
out
that
way
anyway,.
H
A
Go
ahead
so
council
membership
time
moves
this
forward
without
recommendation
I'll
just
say:
I
totally
oppose
that
the
place
for
work
and
the
is
the
committee
and
I'm
not
willing
to
bring
it
to
the
council
and
having
another
seven
hour
council
meeting.
So
we
can
take
a
vote
on
it
in
committee
and
see
where
we
go.
Okay
on
the
motion
to
move
without
recommendation,
ask
the
clerk
to
call
the
role.
G
A
B
I'll
second,
your
motion,
and
I'm
I'm
happy
to
to
to
support
this.
I
do
think
it's
important
that
when
council
members
and
it's
not
outside
of
of
of
the
our
usual
practice,
that
when
council
members
have
further
conversation,
they
want
to
have
with
staff
or
community
members
that
we
might
move
something
without
approval,
which
is
why
I
supported
councilman
richard
ty's
motion.
But
it's
also.
B
I
think
that
mr
hanson
spoke
to
how
this
is
a
unique
case,
and
I
think
that
that's
an
answer
that
I
can
that
I
take
seriously
and
that
I
can
accept,
and
so
so
that's
why,
despite
you
know
the
fact
that
I
do
support
councilmember
chiptai's
agency
and
her
motion
to
move
this
far
without
recommendation
and
continue
further
work
on
it.
I
also
do
think
it's
worthwhile
for
us
to
approve
it
here
out
of
committee,
so
I'll
be
supporting
that
just
want
to
say
that
in
in
the
future.
B
I
do
think
that
when
we
have
items
that,
for
very
good
reason,
can't
be
delayed
and
kept
in
committee,
I
do
think
it's
appropriate
for
us
to
move
those
far
without
recommendation
again
in
rare
case.
So
just
wanted
to
state
that
for
the
record
but
I'll
be
supporting
your
motion.
I
A
A

you,

and
I

I
mean
a
small
business
family
we've
been
working
in
four
thirty,
fourth
avenue
south
for
like
five
years
already,
five
years
and
a
half,
and
we
currently
have
the
liquor
license,
but
we
would
like
to

F

A
B
A
O
Good
afternoon,
madam
chair
members
of
the
committee,
I'm
becky
shaw
from
the
business
development
department
of
cped.
You
have
before
you
today
a
request
to
pass
a
resolution,
giving
preliminary
and
final
approval
for
the
issuance
of
up
to
8.5
million
dollars
in
charter
school
lease
revenue
bonds
for
the
cyber
village
academy
project.
O
Cyber
village
academy
is
a
public
charter
school
founded
in
st
paul
in
1997
to
provide
online
schooling
to
hospitalized
and
homebound
children
in
2009.
They
expanded
to
include
a
hybrid
program
allowing
students
both
in
person
and
at
home
learning
on
various
days
of
the
week.
At
this
time,
cyber
village
plans
to
purchase
an
existing
school
facility
located
at
3810
56th
street
east
and
relocate
to
that
space.
Total
project
cost
for
the
acquisition
renovation
and
equipping
of
the
schools
is
about
8.5
million
dollars.
O
Cyber
village
academy
is
requesting
that
the
city
of
minneapolis
issue
up
to
8.5
million
in
tax
exempt
and
taxable
charter
school
lease
revenue
bonds
to
finance
the
project.
With
this
revenue
bond
issuance,
the
funds
will
come
from
bond
holders,
purchasing
the
bonds
and
will
be
repaid
by
the
borrower.
O
A
A
N
Good
afternoon,
madam
chair
and
committee
members,
my
name
is
justin
fincher,
I'm
with
jb
vang
we're
located
at
1335,
pierce
butler
route
in
st
paul,
we're
owner's
rep
and
development
manager
on
behalf
of
cyber
village
academy.
Nicole
rasmussen
is
with
us
here
today:
she's
the
executive
director
of
the
school,
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
about
the
development
process
and
the
project
in
in
those
capacities,
but
obviously
nicole
can
speak
to
kind
of
the
day-to-day
operations
of
the
school.
N
If
there's
any
questions
on
that
front,
I
don't
want
to
speak
for
nicole,
but
in
working
with
her
the
past
several
months,
I
can
tell
that
we're
excited
about
the
move.
She's
excited
about
the
move
from
saint
paul
to
minneapolis,
and
we
hope
you
support
the
resolution
and
again
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
Great.
H
So,
through
a
hybrid
and
an
online
learning
program,
we've
been
able
to
truly
look
at
the
individual
needs
of
students,
whether
they
have
had
school-based
trauma,
medical
needs
or
other
things
that
may
be
going
on
in
their
life
and
really
focus
on
providing
a
high
quality
education.
That's
focused
on
their
needs
and
for
meeting
state
standards
and
giving
them
that
safe
space
to
do
that
in
a
small
school
environment.
So
we
really
believe
in
the
model
that
we
have
and
working
very
closely
with
our
families
and
students
for
success.
A
G
A
I
A
Is
adopted
we'll
move
on
to
item
number
four
then,
and
ask
staff,
I
wasn't
sure
who's
here
for
this.
Thank
you
so
much
to
give
this
presentation
welcome
good.
P
Afternoon,
madam
chair
and
committee
members,
I'm
here
today
with
a
very
brief
presentation
on
a
very
brief
council
report.
It
recommends
approving
modification
number
131
to
the
common
development
and
redevelopment
plan
and
common
tax
increment
financing
plan,
as
well
as
modification
number
two
to
the
lake
and
nicolette
redevelopment
plan.
The
two
modifications
correct
a
smaller
mission
in
the
previous
modifications
to
the
two
plans,
by
adding
three
properties
that
lie
between
cecil
newman
and
the
greenway
nicola
avenue
and
first
avenue.
P
Those
three
addresses
are
2834,
first
avenue,
south
28,
35,
nicolette
avenue
and
2838
first
avenue
south.
The
reason
we
are
doing
this
is
that
portions
of
these
lots
may
be
necessary
or
desirable
for
right-of-way
and
other
improv
public
right-of-way
improvements
related
to
the
extension
of
nicolette
avenue
in
the
future.
I
A
Take
any
questions.
Thank
you.
I'm
going
to
see
if
there
are
any
questions
for
staff
on
this
item,
seeing
none
we'll
go
ahead
and
open
the
public
hearing
on
item
number.
Four:
is
there
anyone
here
to
speak
to
this
issue,
anyone
anyone
seeing
none,
we'll
close
the
public
hearing
council
member
chug
thai.
A
Fantastic
council
member
trunk
time
moves
approval
further
comments
or
questions
sing,
none
all
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye
any
opposed.
That
item
is
approved,
thank
you
for
being
here
that
dispenses
with
our
public
hearing
portion
of
the
agenda
and
we'll
move
on
to
our
remaining
items.
We're
going
to
have
a
discussion,
actually
a
presentation
about
shelter,
operations,
review
and
then
I'll
also
note
that
staff
are
asking
us
to
receive
and
file
the
animal
care
and
control
advisory
board
appointments,
and
I
would
call
on
carolyn
to
is
that
who's,
giving
the
report
yay.
A
Q
Is
caroline
herefield?
I
am
the
director
for
minneapolis
animal
care
control
a
little
bit
about
me.
I
come
from
the
state
of
virginia.
I
have
a
background
in
animal
crimes.
Q
Was
a
virginia
animal
control
association
board
member
for
the
state
board
for
10
years
it
was
a
founding
member
of
the
virginia
animal
fighting
task
force,
which
was
the
michael
vick
case
in
those
cases.
So
I
have
a
lot
of
background
in
animal
crimes
and-
and
I
came
to
the
city
in
2014
and
we've
been
kind
of
working
on
this
department,
together
with
lisa
and
other
city
councils,
so
and
turning
it
around.
Q
Q
Q
So
in
2019
city
council
requested
that
we
have
our
board.
Minneapolis
has
an
animal
control
board,
a
citizen
board
that
helps
us
in
making
policies
and
finding
best
practices
in
animal
welfare
industry
and
sheltering
and
the
board.
Q
Was
asked
to
do
a
comprehensive
review
of
our
programming
with
an
eye
on
life
saving
they
did.
They
spent
two
years
actually
working
with
us
and
by
2020
we
had
basically
turned
the
program
into
a
no-kill
shelter,
which
is
pretty
amazing
for
a
municipality
and
we're
actually
one
of
the
largest
municipalities
that
are
considered
no
kill
and
to
be
no
kill
means.
It
doesn't
mean
that
we
don't
euthanize
animals,
we
do,
but
it
means
that
only
animals
are
euthanized
that
are
really
sick
and
untreatable
or
so
dangerous.
Q
They
can't
be
rehabilitated,
so
they
asked
the
advisory
board
to
perform
a
comprehensive
review
and
they
made
some
recommendations.
For
example,
we
used
to
do
comprehensive,
behavioral
exams
of
every
animal
in
in
the
shelter
and
and
best
practice
shows
us
that
behavioral
exams,
they
fail
the
animals
and
they
fail
the
public,
because
animals
shut
down
in
shelters,
and
so
you
won't
actually
find
out
who
that
animal
really
is
so
we
use
journaling.
Now
it
allows
us
to
save
more
lives.
Q
Q
Q
So
we
reached
out
to
a
national
organization
called
best
friends
and
they're
they're
known
all
over
the
country
and
actually
internationally
for
humane
animal
care
practices
and
developing
policies
around
humane
animal
care
and
control,
and
also
saving
as
many
lives
as
they
can
in
proper
sheltering
best
friends.
Thanks,
dakota
didn't
make
it
to
our
shelter
until
I
believe
it
was
around
20
21,
but
they
came
in
and
they
did
a
comprehensive
review
of
our
program.
Q
We
operate
under
a
managed
intake
philosophy,
which
means
that
we
try
to
keep
animals
out
of
the
facility
that
shouldn't
be
there.
So
that's
their
friendly,
healthy
strays.
We
try
to
keep
in
the
community.
We
do
that
through
programs,
like
our
found,
a
foster
program
that
we
developed,
where,
if
you
find
it
a
stray
and
you're
willing
to
foster
it
for
us,
we'll
still
put
it
in
our
system
and
we'll
keep
it
in
the
neighborhood
where
it
was
lost.
Q
So
it's
like
90,
more
likely
to
find
its
owner
and
at
the
end
of
the
five-day
stray
period,
we
will
bring
the
animal
in
if
the
owner
hasn't
been
found
and
we
will
sterilize
it
and
put
it
up
for
adoption
and
the
person
who
fostered
has
first
right
of
refusal
and
it's
free,
which
sounds
crazy
because
we're
putting
all
this
money
into
them.
But
the
reality
is
we're
saving
a
ton
of
money,
keeping
them
out
of
the
shelter
system
and
we're
keeping
that
animal
alive.
Q
Q
What
we
have
accomplished
since
this,
despite
covet
and
despite
our
staffing
issues
staff,
we
have
two
veterinarians.
We
do
daily
rounds
with
our
team
to
ensure
that
every
animal
has
a
comprehensive
placement
plan
that
is
current
and
being
properly
applied
for
each
animal.
So
we
look
at
each
animal.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
know
behaviorally
where
we're
going
with
that
animal,
how
we're
going
to
get
there
and
we
make
sure
that
our
staff
are
following
it,
that
there
is
enhanced
animal
care,
enrichment
and
rehabilitation
at
our
shelter.
Q
Our
founder
foster
program
was
a
new
program
because
of
this
our
lost
and
found
pet
program.
We
work
with
a
group
called
finding
rover
that
helps
people
find
their
lost
pets
before
they
have
to
get
into
the
shelter
system.
We
have
a
new
enhanced
license
tag.
I
don't
know
if
any
of
you
have
pets
in
the
city,
but
we
have
a
tag
now
that,
if
your
it
stays
with
your
dog
for
life-
and
it
has
a
what
do
you
call
those
little?
Q
Q
Removal
of
systematic
barriers
to
adoption
safety
net
programming,
which
allows
us
to
help
people
who
are
in
need
for
like
domestic
violence,
homelessness,
people
who
your
house
burns
down
and
you
need
an
emergency
place
to
stay.
We
will
shelter
your
pet
for
free.
If
you're,
a
city
of
minneapolis
resident
animal,
see
foster
program,
that's
a
new
one
in
2022.
Q
community
marketing
planning.
We
work
with
communications
to
help
boost
our
image.
We
also
have
a
dashboard.
That's
now
on.
That's
live
on
our
website
now,
where
you
can
look
up
an
animal
and
find
out
what
happened
to
them
in
our
system:
free,
discounted
training
through
good
pup
university.
That's
a
new
program
that
we're
using
to
help
people
who
have
behavioral
issues
with
their
pets.
They
can
have
a
week
of
free
training
and
then
discounted
training
through
this
virtual
good
pup
university.
Q
Q
Q
Okay
in
the
next
slide,
we're
also
making
a
difference
one
family
at
a
time.
This
is
the
animal
safety
net
program,
and
this
shows
how
many
families
we've
been
able
to
help
since
that
program
started
in
2020.
in
2020
we
helped
92
families
in
2021.
We
helped
133.
Families
doesn't
sound
like
a
ton,
but
it
was
a
ton
to
those
families
and
they
were
able
to
stay
together.
Q
We
also
keep
pets
and
people
safe.
One
of
the
biggest
reasons
that
animal
control
was
formed
was
to
help
enforce
the
animal
welfare
laws,
animal
welfare
laws,
connect,
health
and
safety.
We
deal
with
all
the
zoonotic
diseases.
Avian
flu
is
one
that
we're
dealing
with
right
now.
Coveted
was
one
that
we
dealt
with.
Q
A
A
Before
someone
realized,
there
was
no
person
there
with
the
dog,
and
so
they
called
me
and
I
said,
call
animal
care
and
control,
and
I
went
down
there
myself
and
in
the
time
I
got
down
there,
two
people
were
already
very
attached
to
this
dog
and
when
officer
gerlicker
arrived,
she
said:
does
that
you
know?
Does
any
we
check
to
see
if
anyone
knew
whose
dog
it
was
and
no
one
did
and
officer
gerlacher
said?
Would
you
like
to
one
of
these
two
volunteers?
A
Would
you
like
to
foster
the
dog
and
if
you
can
believe
it
they
did
on
the
site?
They
took
this
dog
home,
it
was
listed
as
given
up
and
we
gave
the
owner
an
opportunity
to
come,
get
it
and
they
didn't,
and
then
they
adopted
the
dog
keeping
that
dog
out
of
a
shelter,
because
the
main
thing
is,
as
many
of
you
know,
who
have
pets,
they
don't
do
well
in
cages,
that's
like
not
their
natural
environment,
not
cats
or
dogs,
and
it's
really
bad
for
animals
to
be
in
the
shelter
environment.
A
That's
where
they
get
sick,
that's
where
they
catch
other
diseases.
So
we
don't
want
that.
We
want
them
to
be
out
in
the
community.
It
is
unheard
of
for
an
animal
control
organization
to
operate
like
a
humane
society,
yet
our
animal
care
and
control
operation
over
the
time
that
carolyn
has
been
involved
has
moved
from
kind
of
a
law
enforcement
type
activity
into
a
humane
society
type
activity,
and
I
think
the
main
reason
why-
and
I
hate
to
say
it
like
this-
is
money
in
the
past.
The
thinking
was
this
has
to
be
revenue
neutral.
A
We
need
to
make
fees,
fines
registrations
as
high
as
possible
in
order
to
subsidize
all
of
the
law
enforcement
activity
that
we're
doing.
We
don't
want
the
general
fund
to
have
to
take
care
of
these
pet
pets,
but
the
shift
in
thinking
actually
has
saved
us
money.
As
we've
said,
we
shouldn't
charge
as
much
for
minneapolis
residents
to
license
their
dogs
and
we
don't.
We
should
be
giving
people
animals
to
clear
out
the
shelter
through
publicity
and
we
do,
and
ultimately
this
is
a
service
for
property
taxpayers.
A
131
people
might
not
have
left
an
abusive
relationship
or
might
have
taken
their
dog
out
on
the
street
if
they
didn't
have
somewhere
to
shelter
their
pet
that
we
provide
as
a
service.
That
is
a
taxpayer-funded
service.
So
ultimately,
this
shift
in
thinking
about
animal
control,
being
cost
neutral
to
understanding
that
we're
probably
going
to
have
to
use
property
tax
money
to
help
solve
these
problems
is
cost
effective.
In
the
long
run,
I've
been
very
actively
involved
in
this
and
served
on
the
humane
society
board
for
10
years.
A
O
A
B
Wanted
to
thank
you
all
for
the
presentation
and
and
to
me
in
in
some
ways
it
kind
of
reflects
a
a
larger
cultural
shift
within
reg
services,
which
I
know
has
really
been
building
over
the
course
of
of
the
most
recent
leadership
and
and
the
last
couple
of
leaders
as
well,
and
it's
a
welcome
culture
change
right.
B
That
says
you
know
I
I
remember
when
we
were
meeting
with
a
number
of
staff
around
even
the
renter
first
policy
and
one
of
the
inspectors
said:
hey
look
the
old
model
was
we
brought
the
hammer
right
like
that
was
how
you
know
it
was
described
and-
and
that
probably
is
what
reg
services
looked
like
for
for
many
for
many
years
here.
What
I'm
seeing
here
is
exactly
what
council,
member
goodman
is
is
describing,
which
is
that
something
that
can
be
a
benefit
to
the
city.
B
You
know
I'm
like
reminded
of
those
like
I
don't
know
if
you
guys
ever
watched
kids
movies,
starring
animals,
but
like
animal
control
would
frequently
be
like
the
villain
of
those
movies
right
and-
and
here
we
have
a
model
where
you
know,
there's
no
chase
scenes
where
you've
got
the
dog
snap.
The
dog
catcher.
Trying
to
you
know,
do
something
nefarious
you
you've
got
something
that's
a
much
more
holistic,
and
so
so
I
appreciate
it
here
in
animal
control.
I
appreciate
it
with
the
way
that
we're
pivoting
on
housing
inspections.
B
I
just
appreciate
sort
of
seeing
the
fruits
of
this
culture
change
that
that
seems
to
be
really
broad
within
regulatory
services.
So
thank
you
for
the
presentation
and
thank
you
for
ul's
leadership.
C
I
just
want
to
thank
you
all
for
the
work
that
you
do
for
our
animals
and
for
our
city
and
just
want
to
name
that
and
then
I
had
a
quick
question.
You
mentioned
a
little
bit
and
one
thank
you.
Cheer
goodman
apologize
for
that
about
the
avm
flu.
I
know
a
constituent
of
mine
reached
out
to
me
around
three
weeks
ago
and
then
I've
been
seeing
that
I've
been
following
and
tracking
that
would
you
be
able
to
speak
to
that
a
little
bit
more
and
what
its
impact
might
be
in
minneapolis.
Q
Yes,
madam
chair
council,
member
travis
avian
flu
is
a
disease
that
is
in
birds.
Q
We
have
been
working
closely
with
the
united
states
department
of
agriculture,
as
well
as
the
board
of
animal
health
to
address
this
in
the
city,
all
the
coop
owners
permit
holders
have
were
notified
several
weeks
ago
from
a
letter
from
us,
but
we
also
just
recently
put
out
a
press
release,
which
I
know
that
we're
working
with
communications
to
to
put
that
press
release
out
in
different
languages
as
well,
but
it
there
is
not
a
huge
concern
for
human
safety,
but
there
is
a
huge
concern
for
flock
safety
because
it
is
in
wildlife.
Q
It
has
been
detected
in
hennepin
county
in
wildlife,
not
in
chicken
coops,
but
because
we
have
roughly
around
400
chicken
coops
in
the
city
that
we
know
about,
and
I
know
there's
many
probably
that
we
don't,
but
I
don't
want
to
go
there
but
anyways,
but
we
that
we
know
about.
We
basically
consider
ourselves,
one
giant
flock.
Q
So
it
is
something
that
we're
keeping
an
eye
on.
There
is
an
800
number.
I
don't
have
it
off
the
top
of
my
head.
I
wasn't
prepared
for
that
today,
but
there's
an
800
800
number
that
people
can
self
report
if
they
have
any
kind
of
suspicion
that
their
animals
are
sick
in
any
way,
they
should
report
that
to
the
board
of
animal
health
they
have
jurisdiction
over.
This
mack
is
in
a
supporting
role.
Q
We
will
be
involved,
but
if
that
was
to
happen,
but
we
are
supporting
the
board
of
animal
health
and
and
our
residents
that
have
chickens,
so
we
we
don't
want
to
make
people
feel
they
can't
report.
You
know
what
I
mean,
so,
even
if
they
don't
have
a
permit,
please
that
we
want
them
to
report
it
if
they
have
a
bird
that
dies
or
something
happens.
A
Q
Well,
life
is
an
interesting
beast,
so
wildlife
belongs
to
the
department
of
natural
resources.
Mac
does
not
own
wildlife.
We
are
a
domestic
animal
agency
we
will
handle.
I
mean
you
do
see
us
come
out
for
raccoons
and
and
different
animals
if
they're,
sick
and
they're
posing
a
public
health
risk,
because
we
are
connected
to
public
health
rabies
being
the
main
concern
we
will
be
involved
like
with
we
find
a
raptor
that's
suspicious.
We
would
probably
collect
that
if
there
was
no
one
that
could
do
that
from
the
dnr.
Q
L
Q
You
know
I
don't
want
a
second,
that's
really
a
question
for
the
board
of
animal
health.
I
I
will
say,
though,
that
it's
it's
in
like
ducks
and
geese,
particularly
dabbling
ducks
and
chickens,
and
that
sort
of
animal
it
also
your
raptors,
would
are
also
being
impacted,
and
that's
your
you
know
your
your.
L
Q
And
your
owls
owls,
I
think
it's
owls
and
hawks
that
they've
actually
founded
in
in
hennepin
county.
It's
it's
gonna,
be
here.
It's
a
migratory
disease.
It's
been
coming
for
a
while.
We've
been
looking
into
this.
We've
been
working
on
this
long
before
I
got
here.
Let's
just
put
it
that
way,
and
the
best
thing
we
can
do
is
protect
our
our
domesticated
animals,
our
chickens
and
our
geese
that
are
domesticated.
There's,
not
anything
we
can
do
with
the
wildlife.
Q
A
Other
questions
or
comments,
the
last
thing
I'll
offer
is
that
I'm
sure
that
the
animal
care
and
control
staff
would
be
happy
to
set
up
a
tour
of
the
facility,
so
people
can
take
a
look
at
it
if
you
have
not
and
I'll
just
leave
that
maybe
to
the
clerk's
office
and
rug
services
to
see
if
that's
something
that
might
be
helpful
to
folks
in
the
spring,
but
we
will
get
to
the
spring
sometime
soon.
A
I
want
to
thank
you
for
all
of
your
work.
We
really
felt
like
it
was
important
for
folks
to
put
a
name
with
the
face
and
to
hear
about
this
function
of
the
city
that
hasn't
really
gotten
a
lot
of
attention
and
unfortunately,
sometimes
when
it
does
get
attention,
it's
not
good
attention.
A
A
I
believe
there's
one
appointment
that
they're
asking
us
to
approve,
so
I
will
make
that
motion
to
receive
and
file
seconded
by
council
member
chavez
all
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye,
and
he
opposed,
and
we
do
not
need
to
take
action
on
the
report
only
again
to
thank
you
for
being
here.
Thank
you.
Seeing
no
further
business
and
without
objection
I
will
call
this
meeting
adjourned.
Thank
you.
Everyone.
