A
Good
afternoon,
everyone
I'm
going
to
call
to
order
this
regularly
scheduled
meeting
of
the
public
works
and
infrastructure
committee
for
september
15
2022,
I'm
andrew
johnson,
I'm
the
chair
of
the
committee.
We
have
a
full
house
today,
which
is
great
to
see
thank
you
for
joining
us
for
our
committee's
business
today
and
at
this
time
I
will
ask
the
clerk
to
call
the
role,
so
we
can
verify
that
we
have
a
quorum
of
this
committee.
C
C
A
A
Let
the
record
reflect
that
we
have
a
quorum,
also
know
council,
member
wansley
is
out
sick,
so
we
wish
her
well
in
a
quick
recovery
and
with
that
we
have
today's
agenda
before
us.
There
are
four
items
on
the
consent
agenda
that
I
will
read
for
the
record.
The
first
is
directing
staff
to
complete
a
permanent
solution
for
improving
stormwater
entering
lake
hiawatha
through
city-owned
infrastructure,
in
order
to
address
litter
and
improve
water
quality
and
to
report
back
by
april
30th
2023.
A
The
next
item
is
authorizing
negotiation
with
private
property
owners
to
acquire
easements
as
part
of
the
2024
street
resurfacing
program,
and
the
next
item
is
approving
the
establishment
of
the
2023
uniform
assessment
rates.
We
also
have
a
walk-on
item
that
I'll
add
the
consent.
Agenda
is
item
number
eight
and
that
is
approving
a
large
block
event
permit
to
allow
the
mexican
independence
day
block
party
to
be
held
on
september
18th
2022
on
lake
street,
between
2nd
avenue,
south
and
portland
avenue
south.
A
D
Thank
you,
mr
chair
yeah.
I
just
just
wondering
maybe
if
this
is
directed
for
our
public
works
director,
our
assessments
for
the
resurfacing
program
top
of
mind
for
me,
is
our
29th
avenue
resurfacing
and
just
curious
around
once
we
do
that
resurfacing.
What's
the
expected
time
before,
we
would
need
to
readdress
that
streets,
maintenance.
C
Well,
thank
you,
mr
chair,
and
thank
you
council
member
payne.
I
am
looking
for
which,
which
member
of
staff
would
like
to
take
this,
and
I
think
I'm
going
to
ask
mr
masamoto
to
come
to
the
microphone
to
hopefully
help
address
this,
although
I
think
your
question
is
really
about
the
maintenance
cycle
and
when,
after
this
resurfacing,
when
we
will
revisit
any
reconstruction
or
further
resurfacing,
so
I'll
just
say
that
out
loud
before
mr
masamoto
starts.
E
D
E
The
next
logical
step
for
us
in
our
maintenance
program
would
be
to
seal
coat.
Those
streets,
which
are
is
another
program
which
I'm
not
completely
clear
on
where
that
is,
as
I
am
not
involved
in
the
seal
coating
process,
but
that
would
typically
be
one
of
the
tools
in
our
toolbox
to
continue
the
extended
life
of
our
streets.
D
And
then
let
me
ask
a
follow-up.
I
I
believe
we're
also
redoing
the
we're
incorporating
the
ada
ramps
within
that
resurfacing
project.
Do
we
know
if
there
would
be
a
potential
for
any
like
curb,
bump
outs
through
the
ada
ramp,
or
is
that
a
pretty
standard,
ramp
installation
that
doesn't
really
have
a
lot
of
flexibility.
E
C
Looking
at
how
wide
that
street
is,
I
know,
that's
not
going
to
necessarily
make
everyone
fully
happy,
because
at
one
time
this
was
to
be
a
reconstruction,
and
I
think
that
we're
really
looking
at
10
to
15
years
out
before
the
street
is
reconstructed
when
the
team
went
out
and
did
the
soil
sampling
and
the
coring
the
the
bed
underneath
the
street
is
in
pretty
good
shape,
and
so
usually
we
don't
move
to
that
street
reconstruction
phase.
Until
we
have
the
underlying
soils
that
need
to
come
up
and
be
replaced.
A
All
right,
thank
you,
councilmember
payne,
any
other
comments
or
questions
from
colleagues,
not
seeing
any
I'll.
Just
add
a
quick
comment
on
item
number
four:
this
staff
direction.
I
just
want
to
extend
my
appreciation
to
director
angie,
french
and
eliz
stout
for
all
their
work
on
this
as
well,
and
their
continued
advocacy
and
commitment
to
improving
water
quality.
This
is
once
you
start
peeling
back
the
layers
of
the
onion.
This
becomes
a
very
complex
issue,
a
very
difficult
one
to
solve,
and
in
this
case
infrastructure
that
was
put
in
place
before
any
of
us.
A
Anyone
in
this
room
was
working
at
the
city,
yet
it
is
our
responsibility
to
address
concerns
around
infrastructure
that
is
contributing
to
water,
quality
impairment
and
adding
litter,
and
so
I
know
they
continue
to
do
a
lot
of
work
on
this
front.
I'm
really
appreciative
of
all
their
work.
So
thank
you
very,
very
much
seeing
no
further
questions
or
comments.
I
will
ask
the
clerk
to
call
the
role.
B
A
F
Well,
thank
you,
mr
chair,
hello,
chair
and
council
members.
My
name
is
andrew
carlson.
I
am
the
project
manager
for
special
service
districts.
The
50th
in
france,
special
service
districts,
was
established
in
2015
to
better
maintain
the
commercial
area
in
special
service
districts.
Property
owners
in
the
commercial
area
collectively
impose
service
charges
to
fund
enhanced
services
and
district
amenities.
F
In
addition,
public
works
staff
engages
with
the
advisory
board
to
identify
the
desired
services
and
develops
an
annual
budget.
Public
works
then
implements
those
services
in
accordance
with
that
plan.
In
this
case,
we
have
an
enlargement
to
the
50th
and
france
special
service
district,
the
property
owner
of
this
property
located
at
4901
through
4921
france,
avenue
south,
has
petitioned
the
city
to
have
their
properties
added
to
the
district.
F
F
Amending
the
boundary
description
within
the
district's
current
ordinance
is
the
official
act
by
which
a
district
is
enlarged,
an
ordinance
amendment
to
enlarge
the
50th
in
france.
Special
service
district
was
introduced
at
the
august
18th
city
council
meeting
for
its
first
reading
and
referred
to
the
public
works
and
infrastructure
committee
in
accordance
with
minnesota
statute.
428,
a
.04
notices
of
this
public
hearing
have
been
published
in
the
official
newspaper.
Notices
have
also
been
sent
to
the
affected
property
owner
and
other
rate
payers
within
the
district.
F
The
city
attorney's
office
has
certified
that
the
petition
requirements
of
minnesota
statute
428
a
.04,
have
been
met.
Staff
therefore
recommends
that
the
city
council
amend
the
minneapolis
code
of
ordinances,
chapter
428a
to
enlarge
the
50th
and
france
special
service
districts.
So
a
lot
of
words
for
a
small
addition
to
an
existing
district.
A
Excellent,
thank
you,
mr
carlson,
and
before
I
go
on,
and
I
know
we
have
a
question
here,
I'll
quick
mention
as
well.
I
got
a
a
little
note
here,
director
craft,
I'm
so
sorry.
If
I
called
you
angie
french,
you
can
tell
that
I
was
up
late
last
night
because
of
my
baby
who's
sick
and
did
not
get
enough
caffeine
and
that's
somebody
else
who
I
invited
to
a
meeting
so
director
craft.
My
apologies,
but
thank
you
so
much
for
all
of
your
work.
So
we
will
continue
on.
F
Council,
remember
chuck
thai
chair
johnson
council
members,
so
this
is
based
specifically
on
the
request
on
the
part
of
that
particular
property
owner.
So
this
site's
being
redeveloped
and
their
request
is
to
have
the
district
enlarged
to
include
them
so
that
services
can
be
provided
for
in
front
of
them.
F
A
Well,
I
will
ask
I'm
going
to
proceed
to
open
the
public
hearing
and
then
ask
our
clerk
if
anyone's
signed
up
to
speak,
not
seeing
any
so
I'll,
say
anyone
here
sign
up
to
speak
on
this
or
anyone
wanting
to
speak
on
this
going
once
going
twice
sold,
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
close
the
public
hearing
and
go
ahead
and
move
approval
of
this
item,
and
I
will
see
if
there
is
any
additional
discussion
or
comments
or
questions
on
this,
not
seeing
any
all
those
in
favor.
Please
signify
by
saying
aye.
H
C
I
Thank
you
good
afternoon,
mr
chair
and
committee
members.
My
name
is
brett
jelly
and
I'm
a
deputy
director
in
public
works,
I'm
in
front
of
you
this
afternoon
to
introduce
the
public
hearing
on
the
2023
operating
plan
and
service
charges
for
the
downtown
business
improvement
special
service
district,
which
is
also
known
as
the
did.
I
I
The
district
has
been
renewed
in
2013
2017
and,
most
recently
in
2021.
each
year,
the
dids
board
made
up
of
downtown
property
owners.
Employers
and
residents
establishes
a
budget
for
accomplishing
their
goals
of
making
downtown
minneapolis
clean,
green,
safe
and
vibrant
public
hearing
notices,
and
the
proposed
operating
plan
were
mailed
to
all
ratepayers.
I
I
The
proposed
2023
service
charges
are
eight
million
one
hundred
twenty
six
thousand
eight
hundred
and
eighty
six
dollars.
I
will
note,
in
addition
to
any
testimony
today,
11
letters
of
support
were
sent
to
the
city
clerk
and
should
be
available
for
your
review,
and
with
that
I
would
like
to
introduce
steve
kramer
who's.
The
president
and
ceo
of
the
minneapolis
downtown
council
and
the
minneapolis
downtown
improvement
district
to
get
some
highlights
of
the
2023
operating
plan.
J
K
J
You
can
see
the
geography
of
the
did
kind
of
describe
it
as
the
front
door
of
target
field
to
the
front
door
of
u.s
bank
stadium
convention
center
almost
to
the
riverfront
and
in
that
area
120
blocks,
roughly
900
properties,
250
unique
commercial
owners
that
contribute
through
service
charges.
We'll
describe
here
in
a
second
to
the
did.
J
So
how
do
we?
How
do
we
come
up
with
that
8.1
million
dollars
or
so?
Can
we
assess
service
charge
in
in
two
different
parts
of
that
overall
district?
So
you
can
see
the
peach
color
is
the
primary
surface
area
for
did
and
the
blue
is
the
secondary
area
in
that
peach
area.
100
of
the
charges
created
through
the
formula
that
I'll
describe
here
in
a
second
are
charged
and
then
in
the
blue
area.
J
Those
activities
fall
into
these
main
categories
and
we
won't
talk
about
all
of
them,
but
we'll
talk
about
a
few
of
them.
Certainly
our
ambassador
livability
and
safety
and
communications
program,
public
safety,
community
outreach
partnership,
social
impact,
placemaking
activation
community
engagement,
very
important
maintenance
and
repair
of
enhanced
streetscapes,
and
then
greening
and
public
realm
improvements
and
without
a
doubt,
our
most
visible
and
popular
program
is
the
ambassador
program
and
I'm
going
to
invite
the
general
manager
of
the
block
by
block
organization
that
we
contract
with
to
provide
the
ambassador
program.
L
L
With
that
being
said,
our
hospitality
program
is,
you
know,
bar
none,
it's
one
of
those
services
that
is
probably
the
most
visible
that
you
will
see
throughout
the
downtown
area.
It
is
where
the
businesses
get
the
bang
for
the
buck.
This
is
where
we
are
here
to
really
showcase
our
city
and
what
we
have
to
offer.
L
Our
cleaners,
of
course,
are
the
you
know:
bread
and
butter.
They
are
out
there
making
sure
that
the
city
is
clean,
making
sure
that
the
city
is
presentable,
making
sure
that
we
are
able
to
have
that
have
those
things
clean
for
the
for
the
city.
We
also
have
an
overnight
crew
that
does
power
washing
they
go
through
and
do
block
faces
throughout
the
city,
making
sure
that
the
sidewalks
are
clean
and
debris
free
with
that.
We
also
operate
a
street
sweeper
that
goes
around
downtown.
L
So
if
you're
ever
out
pretty
late
at
night,
you'll
see
the
street
sweepers
and
the
power
washers
out
there
busting
through
that
grime
there.
Our
livability
program
does
outreach
services
to
the
at-risk
communities
in
downtown
minneapolis.
They
also
serve
as
a
intermediary,
an
intervener
in
situations
and
being
able
to
kind
of
de-escalate
some
of
those
situations
as
well,
and
as
you
can
see
on
this
slide
here,
we
have
a
total
of
79
employees.
L
59
of
them
are
minneapolis
residents
and
more
than
37
have
been
employed
with
block
by
block
for
four
more
years,
and
these
statistics
here
are
some
of
just
the
data
collection
points
that
we've
gathered
over
the
years.
388
000
bags
of
trash
have
been
removed
from
the
city,
and
we
do
that
not
lightly.
It
is
not
clean
work.
It
is
very
dirty
work,
it
is
the
it
is
the
the
bane
sometimes
just
to
get
that
that
garbage
and
pull
it
out
and
get
it
on
you.
You
know
I
went
through
that.
L
J
J
That's
certainly
true
downtown
as
well
and
did
has
always
been
very
focused
on
that
issue
and,
as
you
can
see,
of
the
budget,
over
three
million
is
allocated
towards
a
variety
of
safety
strategies,
and
I
I'm
I'm
proud
that
over
the
years,
dnd
really
has
developed
a
comprehensive
approach
to
safety,
certainly
working
very
closely
with
our
law
enforcement
partners
and
you'll
hear
from
inspector
peterson,
the
first
precinct
commander,
as
well
as
other
law
enforcement
agencies,
but
also
a
wide
variety
of
community
partners.
And
let
me
just
I
like
this.
J
Let
me
go
back
one
I
like
this
display,
because
it
shows
that
kind
of
comprehensive
approach
and
there
may
be
some
failure
familiar
faces
in
the
audience,
because
we
have
james
our
social
worker
partnership
with
hennepin
county,
a
couple
of
our
ambassadors,
scn
alfonso.
Thank
you
and
then
elitist
one
of
our
livability
workers.
He
just
does
fantastic
work
and
other
community
partners
as
well
mad
as
21
days
of
peace.
We
have
a
strong
communication
link
out
of
the
first
precinct
to
the
safety
communications
center
that
helps
integrate
communications
between
private
security,
public
public
law
enforcement.
J
I
happened
to
be
with
some
folks
from
street
voices
of
change
earlier
today,
and
they
said
this
program
is
full.
We
need
to
expand
it
and
we're
actually
working
now
with
you
all
to
try
to
expand
this
program
so,
just
again
an
example
of
sort
of
the
breadth
of
safety
related
activities
that
eid
has
has
engaged
in
over
the
years.
J
The
companion
to
safety
in
terms
of
getting
the
downtown
economy
back
alive
is
is
activation
and
vibrancy,
and
that's
another
strong
focus
area.
We
have
a
storefront
office
in
the
600
block
of
nicolette
and
the
cavity
common
project,
and
it's
a
very
active
place.
You
can
see
the
chess
board
out
front.
There's
always
an
active
chess
game
going
on.
J
We
have
a
partnership
with
the
sunshine
shop
where
people
can
come
and
actually
get
clothing
for
free,
occasionally
on
our
first
tuesday
socials.
We
have
a
street
street,
show
performance
where
they're
curated
street
performers
up
and
down
nicolette
and
other
parts
of
downtown.
So
that's
part
of
the
activation
program.
J
Farmers
market
was
back
this
year
on
thursdays
every
third
thursday.
We
kind
of
made
a
special
effort
at
the
corner
of
eighth
and
nicola
to
enhance
that
with
our
downtown
thursdays
program,
and
you
can
see
some
of
the
activation
that
occurred
there.
Our
nicholas
street
eats
program
in
the
in
the
bottom
corner.
There
is
a
partnership
with
neon
north
side,
economic
opportunity
network
and
those
are
the
best
best
food
around
for
downtown
this
past
summer
and
then.
J
Finally,
in
august
we
had
our
annual
street
art
festival,
which
was
a
great
two-day
event
over
a
weekend,
and
some
of
that
art
was
actually
out
for
several
weeks
until
it
started
to
rain
and
it
got
washed
away
and
then
last
thing
I'll
highlight
before
talking
briefly
about
the
budget.
We
also
have
maintenance
responsibilities,
especially
for
nicolette,
and
now
that
hennepin
is
almost
done.
J
I
just
got
an
email
today
that
the
bus
shelters
on
nikola
on
hennepin
are
going
in
in
october
and
november,
and
some
of
the
buses
that
got
shifted
from
hennepin
and
nickel
are
going
back
to
hennepin
in
december.
So
that
will
be.
That
will
be
great.
Nicolette
is
primarily
a
responsibility
of
did
to
to
maintain
and
operate,
and
and
and
we
have
enhanced
responsibilities
on
hennepin
as
well,
especially
for
these
beautiful
flower,
gardens
that
you
can,
you
can
see,
depicted
there
in
the
lower
right
hand
corner
and
then.
J
Finally,
as
brett
said,
our
overall
budget
is
a
little
over
8.1
million
dollars
that
does
represent
a
pretty
big
increase
compared
to
past
increases
in
8.4.5
percent
year-over-year
increase.
Our
budget
operations
committee
was
unanimously
in
support
of
that.
It
reflects
both
the
reality
that
the
ambassador
program,
which
is
our
main
our
main
expense,
is
increasing
in
cost.
We've
also
have
a
little
more
capacity
in
that
program.
To
do
some
new
things
starting
next
year,
perhaps
be
more
visible
in
the
skyways.
Perhaps
be
able
to.
You
know
respond
to
specific
needs
in
the
city.
J
A
D
J
So
it's
quite
quite
variable
in
that
respect,
in
terms
of
restrictions
on
the
use
of
the
the
funds,
we're
governed
by
state
law
and
city
ordinance,
so
any
restrictions
would
be
embedded
there,
they're
all
pretty
basic
things
that
you
can
see
that
are
kind
of
supplemental
of
city
services.
So
we
don't
supplant
city
services,
but
we
supplement
those
in
these
areas
of
cleaning,
greening
vibrancy
and
safety.
D
J
Yeah,
no,
that's
a
great
question
and
we've
actually
had
conversations
with
with
with
north
loop
about
whether,
if
not
an
expansion
of
did
a
separate
special
services
district,
there
might
make
sense.
I
think
the
challenge
for
for
north
loop
and
other
parts
of
the
riverfront
that
are
not
in
the
current
boundary
is
that
under
state
law,
residential
property
is
exempt
from
a
special
services
district.
So
a
part
of
downtown
that
is
predominantly
or
at
least
largely
residential.
D
J
Well,
mr
carlson
wouldn't
be
the
expert
on
many
of
those
other
districts
that
are
managed
by
the
city
did
is
large
enough
to
be
a
self-managed
district,
and
so
I
think,
there's
both
that
governance
distinction,
and
maybe
more
importantly,
I
mean
we
have
the
great
benefit
of
being
able
to
draw
on
this
incredible
commercial
property
tax
base
and
downtown
to
generate
this.
Now,
eight
million
dollar
plus
budget
that
allows
us
to
invest
in
the
kinds
of
programs,
including
the
ambassadors,
some
of
the
commercial
districts.
J
It
would
be
challenged
financially.
I
think,
to
be
able
to
stand
up
the
program.
Our
view
always
has
been
when
asked.
We
were
delighted
to
work
on
a
technical
assistance
basis
with
any
area
that
might
want
to
try
to
to
do
that,
if
not
based
on
service
charges
or
assessments,
perhaps
philanthropy
someplace.
So
that
is
an
open
offer
to
any
part
of
the
city
that,
to
the
extent
that
we
could
help
plan
something
like
that,
if
the
finances
could
be
figured
out,
we're
there
to
help.
D
J
Great
great
question-
and
we
just
we
just
finished
a
did
strategic
plan-
that
kind
of
asked
ourselves
that
very
question
and
on
the
downtown
council
side
of
our
organization,
we're
about
to
enter
into
a
planning
process
next
year.
To
also
ask
that
that
question
the
way
I
think
about
it,
mr
chairman
councilmember,
payne
and
others
is,
you
know
there
are
a
number
of
of
streams
that
feed
the
downtown
economy.
J
Certainly
the
office
population
is
one
of
those
and
that's
the
one
that
probably
is
going
to
be
most
different,
going
forward
for
the
very
reasons
that
you
you
mentioned.
We
also
have
events
and-
and
those
are
going
well
and
and
conventions
are
beginning
to
come
back.
So,
although
the
streams
are
at
various
points
in
the
recovery
curve,
I
do
think
that
our
downtown
is
going
to
change
in
terms
of
not
it's
going
to
continue
to
be
a
center
of
commerce
and
a
center
for
major
employers.
J
M
A
Thank
you,
mr
kramer.
So
thank
you
for
the
presentation.
I'm
gonna
go
ahead
and
open
the
public
hearing.
I
have
a
list
of
those
who've
signed
up
to
speak
today
and
I'll
call
your
names
in
order
and
if
you
did
not
sign
up
to
speak
and
wish
to
speak,
please
see
the
clerk
to
do
so.
Normally
we
would
have
like
a
shot
clock
out
here
for
two
minutes,
or
so
we
don't
have
that
today
and
that's
fine,
but
just
maybe
for
folks,
if
you
can
kind
of
stick
around
that
two-minute
mark.
A
M
Good
afternoon,
mr
chair
and
members
of
the
committee,
my
name
is
grace
waltz
and
I'm
the
vice
president
of
public
policy
at
the
minneapolis
regional
chamber.
Also
a
minneapolis
resident
I'm
here
today
to
speak
in
support
of
our
partners
and
downtown
office.
Neighbors
the
minneapolis
downtown
improvement
district
and
their
2023
operating
plan
and
budget
for
the
last
13
years
did
has
been
committed
to
creating
a
better
downtown
for
employers,
residents
and
visitors.
M
M
Finally,
did's
ability
to
be
nimble
and
adapt
to
the
changing
needs
of
downtown
and
serve
as
a
resource
for
properties
and
businesses,
while
also
having
the
ability
to
address
problems
with
operational
response
is
something
we
can
all
feel
proud
of.
We
wholeheartedly
endorse
the
day
id
and
urge
you
to
approve
their
2023
budget
as
presented.
Thank
you.
A
N
Good
afternoon,
mr
chair
and
committee
members,
thank
you
for
allowing
me
the
opportunity
to
come
here
this
afternoon
to
speak
on
behalf
of
the
did.
I've
been
downtown
now
assigned
in
different
capacities
for
just
over
five
years.
I
spent
a
couple
years
as
the
day
watch
lieutenant
and
I've
been
the
inspector
for
three
years
now
before
I
came
downtown,
I
didn't
know
a
whole
lot
about
did
and
I
quickly
learned
what
a
phenomenal
public
safety
partner
they
are.
N
I
know
that
steve
kramer
did
an
amazing
job
covering
a
lot
of
the
things
that
they
offer,
as
our
numbers
have
dwindled
over
the
past
couple
of
years.
I
found
them
to
be
a
phenomenal
compliment
for
our
public
safety
needs.
He
touched
on
the
did
ambassadors.
I
can
tell
you
they're
welcome
site
for
me,
as
I
travel
throughout
downtown
the
job
that
they
do.
Keeping
downtown
clean
is
absolutely
amazing.
N
I've
often
called
on
them
to
clean
up
things
like
graffiti
and
and
most
recently
trimming
up
some
shrubbery
that
was
causing
us
some
issues
you
know
being
able
to
work
through
them
with
the
safety
communication
center.
Their
ability
to
connect
with
a
large
number
of
businesses
in
downtown
through
radio
link,
the
did
livability
team-
does
an
outstanding
job
as
well.
N
I
touched
on
the
or
actually
steve
touched
on
the
safety
workshops
that
both
my
crime,
prevention,
specialist,
renee
allen
and
shane
zahn.
Do
I
know
that
you
know
downtown
businesses.
Community
members
are
very
very
appreciative
of
those.
They
talked
about
the
activation,
something
that
I
think
is
vital
to
bringing
back
downtown
and
in
the
safety
of
downtown.
N
A
K
The
minnesota
orchestra
is
proud
to
be
a
part
of
our
downtown
community
that
supports
its
businesses
and
non-profits
with
this
invaluable
resource.
This
past
year,
over
200
000
guests
have
attended
performances,
community
and
corporate
events
at
orchestra
hall
on
a
weekly
basis.
They
enjoyed
activities
at
orchestra,
hall
safely
and
without
incident,
and
we
attributed
some
of
the
success.
K
This
success
to
the
collaborative
partners
at
the
did,
having
the
did
teams
friendly
collegiate,
collegial
presence,
has
made
us
feel
confident
providing
the
community
with
events
and
a
time
when
many
others
have
retracted
from
their
offerings
just
outside
our
front
door
at
orchestralis
pv
plaza
a
beautiful
refurbished
anchor
of
the
nicollet
mall.
This
is
a
vital
space
for
the
city
and
the
orchestra,
and
it
helps
to
build
a
confidence
in
our
downtown
as
an
attractive
place
to
live
and
work,
and
the
did
presence
is
essential
in
this
effort.
K
The
did
staff
have
been
great
partners,
responding
quickly
to
our
requests
and
inquiries
and
serving
as
great
connectors
for
us.
Our
staff
has
relied
on
the
did
ambassadors
and
their
and
other
partners
like
mad
dads
and
the
livability
team
throughout
our
entire
season
in
july,
when
the
orchestra
offered
its
international
day
of
music
on
pv
plaza
for
the
first
time
since
the
pandemic
began,
the
did
was
an
extraordinary
partner
in
helping
thousands
of
audience.
Members
feel
welcome
and
safe
downtown.
K
The
orchestra
has
always
appreciated
the
important
work
of
the
did
and
making
our
downtown
cleaner,
safer,
greener
and
friendlier,
and
never
so
much
have
we
appreciated
than
in
recent
years.
The
did
model
represents
the
best
of
what
can
happen
when
our
core
downtown
community
works
together
and,
as
such,
the
minnesota
orchestra
enthusiastically
endorses
the
did
and
encourages
you
to
approve
this
budget.
B
Good
morning,
good
afternoon,
I'm
anna
costron,
I'm
a
minneapolis
resident
and
also
a
partner
at
a
commercial
real
estate,
firm,
nth,
we're
here
downtown
and
we
help
organizations
make
decisions
about
their
space
and
I'm
going
to
keep
my
comments
pretty
short,
because
these
guys
are
hard
to
follow.
They've
covered
a
lot
of
why
the
idea
is
so
special,
but
I'm
talking
with
a
lot
of
people
about
what
do
we
want
to
do
with
our
office?
Space
is
downtown,
still
a
place
to
be.
B
Should
we
be
here,
and
we
often
point
to
the
work
of
d.I.d
in
the
downtown
council
and
seeing
the
folks
in
the
the
ambassadors,
the
livability
team
that
really
helps
build
people's
confidence.
Things
are
changing,
they're
not
going
to
be
the
same.
They
were
in
2019,
but
the
idea
is
critical
to
helping
people
get
re,
energized
about
being
downtown
participating,
downtown
and
the
health
of
downtown
supports
the
health
of
our
entire
city,
which
supports
health,
the
entire
region.
So
I
want
to
enthusiastically
say
I
add
my
support
and
all
the
other
great
things.
A
O
O
O
We
can't
be
just
check
the
box
without
helping
people,
and
it's
honored
to
be
here,
and
you
know,
hearing
the
people's
stories
on
the
streets,
putting
yourself
where
they're
at
meeting
them
where
they're
at,
and
they
just
need
somebody
just
to
believe
in
them-
and
that's
where
we're
all
here
today-
and
I
just
want
to
thank
you
just
for
you
know
allowing
us
to
be
here
and
doing
what
we
do.
That's
what
we
do
right
man,
yes,
sir
gotta,
go
ahead
and
get.
J
O
In
man
you
know,
and
I'd
like
to
say
before
I
get
off
this-
it's
you
know
not
having
a
night
in
your
stomach,
and
you
know
getting
up
here
and
you
know
having
a
gift
to
do
what
we
do
and,
most
importantly,
we
teach
our
clients
on
the
streets
to
walk
through
life
and
not
get
dragged
through
life
and
that's
what
the
idea
is
trying
to
do.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
time.
That's
it.
Man.
A
Wonderful
well,
thank
you
so
much
and
thank
you
for
all
of
your
work.
I
want
to
see
if
anyone
else
is
here
to
speak,
who
has
not
signed
up.
If
so,
please
feel
free
to
come
up.
Welcome!
Yes,
please
come
on
up
and
then
afterwards,
after
you're
done
speaking,
if
you
could,
please
just
see
our
clerk
to
make
sure
that
our
clerks
get
your
information.
Welcome.
P
P
I
mean
I
literally
came
down
here,
harassed
him
for
the
past
two
years.
I
know
who
my
rapists
are.
You
know,
like
I
moved
to
eden
valley.
You
know
I
got
my
section
8
through
stern
county,
not
through
hennepin
county,
the
hennepin
county
staff
didn't
help
us.
You
know
they
treat
us
like
you
know
if
he
wasn't
doing
favor
for
them
or
something
else
you
was
not.
You
know
first
in
line,
nobody
know
what
we
went
through
unless
we
are
here
to
tell
you
what
went
on
through
the
program.
P
P
You
know
that
nobody
care
about,
but
I'm
not
gonna,
stop
until
something's
done
about
the
situation
and
for
my
understanding,
a
young
lady
was
raped
and
killed
recently,
you
know,
but
you
don't
see
nobody
talking
about
that.
You
don't
see
nobody
trying
to
you
know
get
to
the
bottom
of
this.
So
how
are
we
going
to
handle
the
situation
because,
as
homeless
people
can't
just
come
in
here,
like
I
just
did
and
tell
my
story?
Nobody
want
to
help
us.
You
know
if
we
come
in
here.
P
A
A
P
I
recorded
this,
I
recorded
my
rape.
I
know
who
my
rapists
are.
You
know
staffs
at
the
millennium,
knew
about
it
for
hennepin
county
that
was
doing
internship
through
a
church.
From
my
understanding
they
used
to
be
drug
addicts
too,
and
they
went
to
this
program
where
they're
able
to
work
for
the
you
know
for
the
city
for
the
county,
so.
P
A
In
the
room
as
well,
that
are
happy
to
be
a
part
of
that
for
this
specific
item
before
us.
This
is
a
public
hearing
on
this
renewal
of
this
special
service
district,
and
so
we
are
by
law
required
to
keep
comments
limited
to
that
specifically,
but
I
will
absolutely
connect
up
with
the
afterwards
and
we've
got
folks
here
in
the
room
too
inspector
right.
I
see
it
on
your
head,
maybe
be
willing
to
stick
around
afterwards
as
well,
and
connect
up
and
figure
out
next
steps.
A
Thank
you.
Is
there
anyone
else
here
to
speak
specifically
on
the
downtown
improvement
district
in
this
item
before
us
who
hasn't
signed
up
anyone
else,
all
right,
not
seeing
anyone
else,
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
close
this
public
hearing,
and
I
will
see
if
there
are
any
comments
or
questions
from
my
colleagues,
councilmember
vita.
H
H
You
lead
us
and
I
met
while
he
was
working
downtown.
It
was
a
really
good
experience.
I
I
was
out
with
ems
on
the
ride-along
and
ran
to
ran
into
him
on
the
site
of
a
critical
incident
and
he
was
doing
exactly
what
has
been
described
in
this
public
hearing
today.
The
services
they
provide
for
gid,
and
so
thank
you.
I
also
see
a
lot
of
the
entertainment
team
from
the
d.I.d
sitting
in
the
back.
I
try
my
best
every
chance
I
could
to
get
out
to
downtown
thursdays
downtown
tuesday.
H
Whatever
day
I
tried
my
best
to
get
out
there
and
support
all
of
the
wonderful
entertainment,
councilmember
rainville,
and
I
put
it
on
our
calendars
to
get
out
and
walk
around
and
we
love
greeting
the
did
staff
they.
I
have
never
seen
people
more
passionate
about
picking
up
trash.
In
my
life
they
love
their
jobs.
They're
happy
to
talk
is
they're
just
beautiful
stories
when
you
talk
to
who
is
working
who's,
a
part
of
that
d.I.d
team.
These
are
our
neighbors.
H
This
is
our
community
that
is
finding
so
much
joy
and
being
a
part
of
what's
happening
in
downtown
minneapolis.
So
I
I
mean
you
all
know
that
I
support
the
work
that
you're
doing
and
then
finally,
I
just
want
to
shout
out
the
two
katherines
that
watch
the
camera
over
at
the
first
precinct
for
the
d.I.d.
One
goes
by
katherine
the
other
by
cat,
but
they're
both
named
katherine
I've
been
over
with
them
a
couple
times
to
watch
the
cameras
to
see
they've
shown
me
the
steps
of
city
hall
from
the
cameras.
H
You
know
they
keep
their
eye
on
the
streets,
they
they're
so
passionate,
because
we
have
so
few
officers
they're,
making
sure
that
they're
committed
to,
like
literally
seeing
what's
happening
on
the
streets
in
real
time,
so
that
folks
downtown
can
feel
safe.
And
so
again
I
just
want
to.
Thank
you
all.
I
couldn't
thank
you
enough
for
the
services
you
provide
in
downtown
minneapolis
and
really
committed
to
making
sure
when
folks
come
to
visit
or
people
who
live
here
have
a
safe,
clean,
welcome
warm
experience
in
the
heart
of
our
city.
G
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
I've
got
just
a
few
questions.
I
think
this
first
one
might
be
for
some
combination
of
director
anderson,
kelleher
and
then
mr
wilcox
and
miss
bremmer
from
the
city
attorney's
office.
Just
from
my
very
brief
conversation
with
the
director,
my
understanding
is
our
responsibility
in
in
this
part
of
the
equation
is
like
approving
this.
This
plan
that's
presented
to
us
and
approving
this
budget
that
that
mr
kramer
and
his
team
have
have
presented.
G
A
Q
Thank
you,
chair
johnson,
councilmember,
chuck
thai,
that's
a
great
question.
So,
under
our
enacting
ordinance,
which
is
chapter
465
of
the
minneapolis
code
465.20,
it
talks
about
the
special
services
to
be
performed,
operating
plans
and
service
agreements.
There's
a
provision
in
there
that,
as
you
mentioned,
does
require
the
city
council
to
review
and
approve
by
resolution
the
operating
plan.
Q
However,
there
is
also
a
provision
in
the
code
that
states
the
special
services
described
in
the
plan
will
be
furnished
by
the
downtown
council,
so
the
downtown
council
does
propose
the
service
plan
and
that's
why
they
presented
it
here.
You
know
to
your
question
as
to
whether
or
not
this
is
simply
ceremonial.
You
know.
No,
obviously
you,
as
the
council,
you
retain
that
authority.
You
know
to
to
approve
your
resolution.
Q
However,
I
would
suggest
and
caution
that
isn't
a
process
whereby
there'd
be
like
a
line,
item
veto
and
an
insertion
or
a
change.
I
think
the
the
proper
process,
if
you
didn't
feel
that
this
operating
plan
would
be
appropriate,
would
be
for
you
to
have
discussions
with
the
downtown
council.
Explain
your
concerns
and
then
they
would.
You
know
inform
them
of
a
operating
budget
or
a
plan
that
you
would
be
supportive
of
which
they
could
bring
back
forward.
Q
The
reason
you
can't
simply
you
know,
engage
in
like
a
line
item
process
here
is
because
these
notices
have
to
go
out
that
would
completely
change
the
calculation
of
the
service
assessment
of
the
charges
to
the
rate
payers.
Notices
have
to
go
out.
The
individuals
have
to
have
an
opportunity
for
a
public
hearing.
So
that's
why
that
process,
it's
not
as
simple
as
us.
Changing
it
on
the
fly.
Does
that
answer
your
question.
G
G
I
think
just
to
have
you
reach
out
beforehand
and
tell
us
what
you're
going
to
present
to
us.
You
know,
prior
to
prior
to
this
type
of
more
formal
presentation
and
give
us
the
opportunity
to
ask
you
more
specific
questions
about
your
operating
plan,
the
budget
and
and
give
that
type
of
feedback.
You
know
we're
sitting
here
and
it's
it's
clearly
too
late
for
for
these
types
of
changes
to
be
made
and-
and
I
I
would
just
really
appreciate
that-
being
different
moving
forward.
G
But
that
being
said,
I
actually
do
have
a
question
just
going
back
to,
and
I
think
this
might
be
a
more
appropriate
question
either
for
mr
kramer
or
from
the
gentleman
who
presented
to
us
from
the
ambassador
program,
but
just
looking
through
the
79
employees,
66
of
those
being
union
members,
I
used
to
work
at
sciu.
Local
26
represents.
I
believe,
these
these
these
workers
and
just
wondering
what
the,
if
you
can
explain
a
little
bit
more
about
that
discrepancy
of
the
66
out
of
79
being
union
members.
C
J
J
Chairman
councilman
chuck
thai
just
on
that.
On
that
point
we
do
have
a
budget
operations
committee,
that's
created
in
our
organizational
bylaws,
it's
drawn
from
a
cross-section
of
the
rate
payers
and
they
really
do
work
with
us
to
fashion
this
service
plan
and
budget
that
comes
forward
in
this
way
to
the
city
council,
and
also
note
that
we
have
a
quarterly
meeting
with
city
staff,
public
works,
city,
finance,
city
attorney's
office
to
go
over
contracts
to
go
over
issues
around
the
partnership
that
we
have
with
all
the
city
departments,
public
works,
cpad,
police,
etc.
J
So,
there's
a
lot
of
engagement
on
an
ongoing
basis
in
terms
of
oversight
of
the
city.
With
this
work.
In
terms
of
your
question
about
the
union
membership
versus
non,
I
think
that's
largely
because
there's
a
obviously
admin
management
staff
as
well
that
would
be
outside
the
membership
of
the
of
the
seiu
local.
But
I
would
ask
level
maybe
to
comment
on
that.
G
Wonderful.
Thank
you
very
much,
mr
cameron.
I'm
really
glad
to
hear
that
you're
meeting
very
you
know
once
a
quarter
with
the
city
and
and
there's
there's
further
communication
just
from
having
attended
a
couple
of
meetings
of
the
special
service
districts
and
in
my
ward
I
know
mr
carlson
and
his
team
are
very
regular.
G
They
attend
these
meetings
very
regularly
and
and
are
active
participants
in
them.
I
would
imagine
it's
no
different
for
you
than
it
is
for
other
special
service
districts,
but
I
think
my
my
comment
about
that.
The
the
budgetary
piece
and
the
operating
plan
piece
was
less
about.
You
know.
How
frequently
are
you
in
communication
with
the
city?
G
I
know
you're
in
very
regular
communication
with
the
city,
but
more
about
the
responsibility
of
this
body
is
to
do
a
very
specific
thing
here,
which
is
to
approve
what
you've
presented
to
us
and
it
you
know
in
order
to
be
able
to
do
that
really
well
and
make
sure
that
we're
thorough
in
in
fulfilling
our
obligation
here.
It's
I
think
it's
important
for
for
you
to
you
know
meet
with
us
directly
and
talk
to
us
about.
G
J
A
That's
behind
the
did
it's
it's
so
refreshing
and
I
think
for
folks
that
haven't
been
to
downtown
a
while
or
don't
necessarily
remember
it.
It's
surprising
and
a
really
positive
thing
that
leaves
a
positive
impact
and
it's
something
that's
really
needed,
especially
at
this
time
where
there
are
perceptions
of
downtown
that
don't
match
the
reality.
A
I
was
joking
about
the
room
being
so
packed
in
the
crowd,
but
because
usually
these
meetings,
we
don't
have
a
lot
of
people
at
them.
Frankly
and
funny
little
tidbit,
most
people
don't
sit
on
this
side
because
then
they
get
caught
in
the
camera
view,
and
so
their
reactions
get
captured
and
stuff,
so
fun
little
city
hall,
history
for
you,
but
our
council
chamber
history.
But
you
know
it
is
really
good
to
see
all
of
you
out
here
today
supporting
this.
A
That
aren't
here
today
that
are
also
behind
this
work
as
well,
and
I
think
mr
cream
was
talking
about
120
or
so
blocks,
and
I
mean
that's
a
huge
number
and
you
know
one
block
may
contain
50
stories
right,
and
so
it
may
really
represent
thousands
of
people
just
coming
to
work
and
to
live
and
to
play
and
all
of
that
just
on
a
single
block
alone,
and
you
have
at
least
120
of
them.
So
it
is
a
really
impressive
effort.
A
We're
really
thankful
for
all
of
your
work
and
not
seeing
any
other
comments
or
questions.
I
will
go
ahead
and
move
this
item
for
approval
and
all
those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
aye,
those
opposed,
say,
nay.
The
motion
carries.
Thank
you
all
very
much
and
we
will
go
ahead
and
move
on
to
our
third
public
hearing
of
the
day,
which
is
considering
the
2023
proposed
services
and
service
charges
for
seven
special
service
districts,
428a
districts.
So
I
will
go
ahead
and
ask
our
director
who
will
present
on
this
item.
F
All
right,
a
special
service
district
allows
property
owners
in
a
commercial
area
to
collectively
impose
service
charges
on
themselves
each
year
to
create
a
pool
of
funds.
These
funds
are
directed
back
in
the
form
of
enhanced
services
and
special
amenities.
The
enhanced
services
and
special
amenities
are
over
and
above
what
the
city
ordinarily
provides.
F
F
F
Just
a
note,
at
an
upcoming
at
your
upcoming
october,
13th
public
works
and
infrastructure
committee
meeting
I'll,
be
before
you
again
to
prevent
to
present
the
2023
budget
requests
for
our
legacy
districts.
These
districts
pre-date
the
428
a
statute
so
more
to
come
over
the
summer,
public
works
staff
worked
with
each
district's
advisory
board
to
recommend
the
services,
prepare
a
budget
and
review
their
assessment
methodology
for
the
coming
year.
These
service
charges
would
be
collected
on
their
23
2023
real
estate
taxes
in
the
same
manner
as
special
assessments.
F
Each
affected
property
owner
was
mailed,
a
notice
of
public
hearing
and
the
service
charge
amount
10
days
in
advance
of
this
public
hearing
also
was
included.
Also,
what
was
included
in
the
mailing
was
a
copy
of
the
proposed
operating
plan
and
budget
staff
therefore
recommends
passage
of
the
resolution
approving
the
2023
operating
plan,
special
services,
cost
estimates,
service
charges
and
the
list
of
service
charges
for
the
coming
year
for
the
50th
in
france,
54th
in
glendale,
bloomington
lake
chicago
lake,
eastlake,
lindell
lake
and
the
west,
broadway
improvement
special
service
districts
and
authorizing
the
public.
F
The
department
of
public
works
to
proceed
with
the
work.
Lastly,
I'd
like
to
note
that
the
combined
budget
cost
estimate
for
these
districts
amounts
to
787
000
in
private
investments
within
the
minneapolis
public
right-of-way.
That
concludes
my
presentation
and
I
am
more
than
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
A
Thank
you,
mr
carlson,
for
that
presentation
and
I'm
going
to
proceed
to
open
the
public
hearing
I'll
ask
the
clerk.
If
anyone
signed
up
to
speak
on
this,
not
seeing
any,
if
you
did
not
sign
up
yet
and
wish
to
speak
specifically
to
this
item
of
the
special
service
districts,
please
see
the
clerk
to
do
so
and
feel
free
to
come
on
up.
If
you
are
here
for
that
for
the
special
service
districts.
R
R
We
were
very
successful
in
that
that
it
was
we
sold
it
anyway.
On
lynn
lake.
I
just
got
these
three
properties,
one
of
which
I
bought
from
renwell
castle,
which
included
two
properties
together,
but
I
chose
not
to
conjoin
them
because
they
were
presented
to
me
as
separate
as
a
joint
sale.
The
other
one
was
what
now
is
known
as
muddy
waters,
this
this
program
here
of
extra
taxes
or
payments
towards
things
that
are
hardly
luxurious.
R
I
would
have
thought
that's
a
public
service,
but
we
pay
extra
and-
and
to
be
honest,
I
have
I
haven't
minded
in
the
past,
because
I
was
well
I'm
71.
I
was
well
and
appreciated
the
interest
in
improving
lynn
lake.
I
used
to
be
on
lake,
which
I'm
very
lucky
to
have
gotten
out
of.
It's
got
weird
stuff
going
on
now.
I
still
can't
believe
it
when
I
go
through
that
if
I
live
there
and
have
two
houses.
E
R
These
extra
services
were
fine
before
covert,
took
us
and
muddy
waters
out
of
business.
They
left
there
owing
me
over
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
and
gave
me
the
equipment,
as
is
instead
of
the
money
which
has
proved
not
to
be
very
useful.
It's
been
two
years
since
they
left
and
I've
been
carrying
the
property
taxes
which
were
assessed
based
on
their
success.
R
People
looked
at
how
much
money
they
were
making
they
were
making
a
fortune
yeah.
I
wish
I'd
been
there,
not
the
property
owner
since,
when
I
have
paid
off
all
those
properties,
actually,
every
property
I
have
at
71
I've
paid
off
as
an
investment
as
a
support
system
as
an
elder,
let
alone
a
very
sick
elder.
R
Unfortunately,
it's
been
the
reverse,
like
I'm,
supporting
it
into
just
lindale,
I'm
putting
in
every
three
months
every
quarter,
I'm
putting
in
fifty
thousand
to
seventy
thousand
dollars
every
three
months
to
sustain
my
business
and
keep
my
people
employed
at
mighty
waters
to
to
be
there.
Real
estate
agents
are
trying
to
lease
it
and
at
this
point
now
sell
it
because,
with
things
like
this,
I
cannot
afford
to
keep
it
anymore.
R
I
mean
I
was
here
last
week
before
I
went
to
my
stint
at
mayo
and
over
producing
water
for
my
premises
and
whether
the
bills
have
been
paid
or
not,
which
they
have
not
been
paid
over
nine
thousand
dollars
and
actually
twelve
thousand
dollars
there
and
nine
thousand
dollars
for
utility
work.
Something
went
wrong
in
the
street.
R
R
R
R
The
beauty
industry
got
terribly
hurt
more
than
the
restaurant
industry
once
because
we're
a
hand-on
business,
so
people
were
afraid
to
come
to
us
and
some
of
us
being
a
weebic
century
scares
people
a
bit
too
it
it's
the
facts
of
this
stuff
coming
up
and
it's
been
there
before,
and
I've
paid
it.
I
don't
know
why
it's
special
interest.
I
don't
see
that
at
all,
and
I
didn't
ask
for
these
things.
R
I'm
quite
happy
decorating
my
own
tree
and
some
people
can't
keep
their
storefronts
up,
let
alone
pay
extra
for
trees
and
yet
they're
forced
to
spend
money
on
trees
which
economically
doesn't
make
us
doesn't
make
sense.
I
know
it
looks
pretty
all
the
way
down
the
road,
but
then,
as
we
pay
for
it
and
say,
leave
it
up
for
the
whole
year.
It
makes
the
neighborhood
look
friendly,
but
then
we
have
to
pay
for
someone
to
take
them
down
which
doesn't
make
sense,
because
this
makes
us
look
pretty.
R
I
get
it,
but
it's
a
matter
of
affordability
pretty
or
not,
and
I'm
in
the
pre-business
you
know,
but
even
as
individuals,
we
have
to
draw
the
line
somewhere.
I
mean
I
know,
you're
not
going
to
make
your
your
treatments
for
your
hair
number
one,
but
you
may
still
get
the
basic
haircut.
I
feel
the
same
way
as
pain
in
the
city.
I
don't
mind
paying
extra
for
things
that
are
really
off
the
top
extra.
You
know
we
want
more
than
other
people
in
the
city.
I
don't
believe
what
we
get
on.
This
assessment
is.
R
Without
any.
You
know
any
effort
from
the
city
to
make
exceptions
to
the
rule
by
extending
these
payments.
Until
maybe
it's
leased,
I've
managed
to
do
that
with
one
of
my
homes.
This
waterworks
thing
in
the
street,
which
I
still
don't
understand
because
they
need
that
equipment
to
deliver
the
water.
To
me
that
I
paid
for-
but
you
know,
I'm
paying
there,
but
here
on
indel
three
premises
and
being
charged
equally
on
all
three
and
equally
as
everybody
else.
R
Every
other
business
owner
along
there
does
does
not
seem
fair
and
he's
putting
me
out
of
business.
So
then
people
will
end
up
with
three
buildings,
not
functioning.
You
know
my
staff
went
from
29
hairdressers
down
to
four
and
my
wife,
she's
kind
of
behind
the
chair,
63
years
old.
I
just
physically
can't
do
it
or
I'd
be
doing
it
to
keep
my
four
people.
R
So
they
don't
feel
committed
to
me
anymore
and
most
of
them
stayed
home
getting
payments.
Still
I'd
saw
that
there
was
a
freebie
ride
from
the
government
as
an
unemployed
person,
rather
than
come
back
to
work.
If
I'd
been
paying
their
salary,
they
would
have
humanly
felt
more
committed
because
they're,
not
bad
people,
they're
just
responding
to
the
benefits
that
they
got.
R
You
know,
but
anyway,
I'm
not
going
to
stand
out
whining,
I'm
just
trying
to
represent
small
business
owners
that
have
invested
in
the
properties
because
they
could
do
more
to
them
and
make
them
look
nice,
which
I've
made
a
really
big
effort
on.
If
you
see
my
if
it's
called
bloody
gorgeous,
it
can't
be
bloody
ugly,
didn't
it,
you
know
it
looks
ridiculous.
R
R
He
not
even
based
on
the
majority,
even
more
so
not
only
I'm,
not
a
majority
business
small
business
owner,
I'm
not
the
majority.
You
know
I'm
still
lucky
to
be
here
thanks
to
mayo,
as
we
all
know,
and
I'm
grateful
for
most
of
the
things
the
sea
provides
to
the
police
departments.
I
just
had
my
front
window
smashed.
R
It's
pathetic
that
people
should
be
afraid
to
come
to
an
area
which
is
more
than
our
area,
but
it's
pretty
bad.
In
our
area
I
gotta
say,
but
what
I
don't
whine
about
it
front
of
my
business-
has
a
small
parking
lot.
I'm
going
to
produce
valet
parking
attendants.
Let
my
clients
know
that
they're
there
they're
armed
taser
wise
they're
safe
to
pull
in
there.
R
A
A
A
A
Absolutely
thank
you.
Is
there
anyone
else
here
to
speak
on
this
item,
anyone
else
anyone
else.
Okay,
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
close
the
public
hearing
and
then
specifically
I
wanted
to
mention.
Maybe
we
could
have
you
connect
up
with
staff
because
it
sounds
like
there's
a
number
of
different
issues
there.
A
Is
there
deferment
available
as
you're
waiting
to
get
leased
up,
which
is
a
very
creative
idea
that
I
think
deserves
some
merit
and
I'm
sure
staff
have
some
answers
to
and
then
even
this
question
of
you
have
three
buildings
and
how
do
you
assess
when
you
have
multiple
conjoined
buildings
as
well?
And
what
does
that
look
like?
So
I
think
there's
at
least
four
questions.
I
picked
up
from
there
that
I
think
we
could
dig
into
more
from
a
staffing
standpoint.
A
So,
mr
carlson,
if
you're
willing
to
have
some
conversation
as
well
and
make
a
connection
here,
and
this
isn't
something
that
needs
to
be
addressed
right
now.
I
think
this
is
more
connecting
up
with
our
constituent
here
and,
if
you're
able
to
help
answer
his
questions
offline
and
then
any
additional
questions
that
we
need
to
get
involved
in
the
committee
we're
happy
to
so
we.
C
A
Perfect,
I
really
appreciate
that
director.
I
appreciate
you
coming
down
as
well,
sir,
to
be
able
to
voice
these
concerns
and
we
we
appreciate
your
presence
on
lindale
and
I've.
I've
been
by
the
business
many
times,
not
my
particular
place
where
I
get
my
hair
cut,
but
I
appreciate
it
so
that's
more
a
factor
of
my
geography
and
where
I
live,
not
in
the
lynn
lake
area,
but.
