A
Good
afternoon,
everyone
I'm
going
to
call
to
order
this
regularly
scheduled
meeting
of
the
public
works
and
infrastructure
committee
on
today's
date.
September
29th,
I'm,
Andrew
Johnson,
the
chair
of
the
committee
and
I,
want
to
welcome
you
for
joining
us
today.
At
this
time,
I
will
ask
our
clerk
to
call
the
roll,
so
we
can
verify
that
we
have
a
quorum
for
committee.
B
A
The
record
reflect
that
we
have
a
quorum
with
that.
The
agenda
for
today's
meeting
is
before
us.
There
are
three
items
on
the
consent
agenda.
I
will
read
for
the
record.
The
first
item
is
transferring
vacated
right-of-way
on
45th
Avenue
North
from
the
City
of
Minneapolis
to
the
Minneapolis,
Park
and
Recreation
board.
The
next
item
is
authorizing
an
agreement
with
the
Minnesota
Department
of
Transportation
and
Hennepin
County
for
the
Glenwood
Avenue
street
reconstruction
project
and
then
the
third
item
is
authorizing.
A
The
acceptance
of
a
utility
easement
agreement
with
northern
states
power,
also
known
as
Excel
Energy
for
electrical
equipment
at
the
Minneapolis
water
fredly
campus
I
will
go
ahead
and
move
all
of
those
items
and
see.
If
there's
any
discussion
from
any
of
my
colleagues
or
if
anyone
would
like
to
pull
any
items,
not
seeing
any
all
those
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
aye,
those
opposed,
say,
nay,
dice
have
it
and
the
consent
agenda
is
approved.
Next,
we'll
move
on
to
our
public
hearings.
A
We
have
our
first
public
hearing
before
us
today,
which
is
considering
sanitary
sewer
service
availability
charges
for
that
I
will
turn
to
our
director
Margaret
Anderson
Kelleher,
and
ask
who
will
be
presenting
on
this
item.
Well.
C
Thank
you,
Mr,
chair
and
committee
members
today,
Kelly
Moriarty,
principal
engine,
professional
engineer
in
surface
water
and
sewers
will
be
making
the
presentation
ahead
of
the
public
hearing.
D
The
Metropolitan
Council
Environmental,
Services
or
mces,
collects
and
treats
Wastewater
at
its
seven
Regional
treatment
plants.
Mces
is
responsible
for
ensuring
that
sufficient
sewer
capacity
exists
to
serve
plant
development
and
for
providing
Regional
Wastewater
collection
and
treatment
services.
Funds
to
operate
MCS
systems
are
collected
in
two
ways:
Municipal
Wastewater
charges
and
Sac
Municipal.
Wastewater
charges
are
paid
by
municipalities
for
treatment
of
Wastewater
generated
within
their
jurisdiction
and
in
Minneapolis
those
charges
are
passed
on
to
individual
Property
Owners
via
utility
bills.
D
D
Sac
is
owed
when
a
property
first
connects
to
the
regional
Wastewater
system
and
Sac
may
also
be
charged
when
a
business
grows
or
property
changes.
Use
in
a
way
that
creates
more
Demand
on
the
Wastewater
system,
Sac
is
charged
by
MCS
to
local
governments,
which
in
turn,
pass
the
charge
on
to
property
owners.
Minneapolis
pays
Sac
to
mces
and
bills,
Property
Owners
to
recoup
The
Upfront
Sac
payments
Minneapolis
also
participates
in
mcas's
Sac
deferral
program,
which
allows
businesses
to
defer
some
Sac
payment
obligations.
D
Currently,
four
of
the
56
businesses
enrolled
in
the
sac
to
parole
program
have
failed
to
meet
their
financial
commitments
required
as
a
part
of
that
program
and
owa
combined
19
732.90.
In
addition,
11
businesses
have
outstanding
exact
payments
due
after
cped's
internal
audit
of
Permitting
and
Licensing
records
in
preparation
for
the
anticipated
2023
Community
review.
D
Customers
have
the
option
to
prepay
the
entire
assessment
through
the
end
of
November
this
year
and
avoid
any
interest
charges.
These
assessments
are
subject
to
a
2.3
percent
interest
charge
for
one
year
term.
One
property
owner
has
requested
an
extension
of
the
repayment
term
to
five
years.
That
assessment
will
be
subject
to
a
3.2
interest
rate
based
on
recent
advice
from
the
city
attorney
Public
Works
staff
is
also
recommending
that
the
sewer
availability
charge
for
property
ID.
D
So
at
this
time
we
request
approval
of
a
resolution
to
adopt
the
assessments
as
listed
on
file
in
the
city.
Engineers
special
assessments
office
in
a
revised
amount
of
69
607.90
I'll
stand
for
any
questions
and
also
present.
Today
we
have
staff
from
cpez
development
review
office,
which
manages
and
administers
the
sac
program
for
the
City
of
Minneapolis.
A
Great
thank
you
for
the
presentation.
I
will
see
if
there's
any
questions
from
colleagues
before
proceeding
all
right,
it
doesn't
look
like
there
are
any
so
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
open
the
public
hearing.
Our
first
person
signed
up
to
speak
is
adult
and
Then,
followed
by
Nubia
and
I'll.
Welcome
you
up
to
the
podium.
We
generally
have
folks
speak
for
about
two
minutes
time
limit
of
about
two
minutes,
but
we're
not
super
strict
on
that.
So
please
come
on
up
and
address
the
committee
foreign.
E
For
3112
Emerson,
Avenue,
North
and
I
understand
what
the
sex
is,
but
my
tenet
actually
I
don't
believe
she
put
any
chemical
in
the
sword.
She
doing
hair
braiding
and
wax.
That's
it
so
I,
don't
believe
we
do
don't
I,
don't
believe
we
owe
any
money
in
this
situation
here.
A
All
right,
thank
you
and
then
please
come
on
up
and
speak
and
introduce
yourself
hi.
F
Hello,
I'm,
Nubia,
Taylor
and
I
am
leasing
the
3112
Emerson
Avenue
North
for
my
salon.
So
when
I
opened,
my
salon
I
had
to
apply
for
a
Board
of
Cosmetology
license
a
business
license
through
the
state
of
Minnesota.
So
in
order
for
me
to
do
my
waxing
service
inside
a
salon,
legally,
I
have
to
get
the
full
Salon
license.
So
I
have
to
apply
for
facials
Nails
cosmetology
the
whole
scope
of
Cosmetology,
so
I
don't
do
anything
with
chemicals.
I
don't
have
15
people
in
the
salon
at
a
time.
F
It's
maybe
two
or
three
at
one
time
and
I
had
no
idea
what
sex
was
I'm
learning
as
I
go
this
business
thing.
So
yes,
currently
I
just
offer
waxing
and
hair,
and
that's
the
only
thing
I
have
been
offering
for
at
least
over
a
year
and
a
half.
A
Thank
you.
Is
there
anyone
else
here
to
speak
on
this
first
item,
not
seeing
any
I
will
go
ahead
and
close.
The
public
hearing
and
I
will
move
her
recommendation.
The
item
with
the
amended
changes,
as
recommended
by
Miss
Moriarty,
specifically
based
on
the
advice
of
the
City
attorney
public
work
staff,
is
recommending
that
the
sewer
availability
charge
for
property,
ID
21029-242-20231
not
be
assessed
pending
review
and
let
it
be
removed
from
the
assessments
list
to
hanapan
County,
so
I'll
go
ahead
and
make
that
motion
and
then
see.
A
If
anyone
wants
to
speak
on
these
items
and
just
not
seeing
any
I
guess
I'll
put
out
my
perennial
comments
about
the
stack
charges,
I
know
that
it
is
really
a
challenge
for
our
small
businesses
and
particularly
in
a
case
like
this,
that
was
mentioned
and
I'm,
hoping
that
you
will
be
able
to
connect
up
with
Miss
Moriarty.
A
If
you
haven't
already
just
to
talk
about
how
that
assessment
was
done
and
and
how
that
was
calculated
out
and
so
that
they
can,
we
can
double
check
that,
but
I
will
say
that
it
is
met.
Council
that
assesses
these
charges
and
the
city
is
essentially
in
the
position
of
enforcing
these
charges
and
I
know.
It
is
very
difficult
because
for
a
small
business
like
yours,
you
know
you're,
not
in
my
opinion,
adding
any
additional
strain
on
the
local
system.
Right
people
are
either
going
to
get
their.
You
know.
A
No
pun
intended
on
that,
but
it
doesn't
add
any
overall
excess
use
to
the
system,
and
so
I
continue
to
have
concerns
and
continue
to
be
in
conversation
with
our
intergovernmental
relations
staff
and
our
other
partners
as
well
as
we
talk
about
how
these
are
assessed
so
that
they're
assessed
in
a
a
fair
and
Equitable
manner
at
the
end
of
the
day
and
I
I
think,
there's
probably
more
room
for
achieving
that
balance
with
this.
A
So
so
I
would
encourage
you,
after
this
item,
to
connect
up
with
our
staff
and
just
make
sure
everything
in
terms
of
how
it
is
assessed
is
is
fully
in
order
and
all
of
that,
so
any
additional
comments
or
questions
from
committee
members,
not
seeing
any
all
those
in
favor
of
this
item,
please
say:
aye
aye,
as
opposed
to
say,
nay,
and
that
motion
carries,
and
so
so
next
up
we'll
move
to
our
second
public
hearing,
which
is
considering
water
in
sewer
service
line,
repair
Assessments
in
our
second
public
hearing
today,
I
will
turn
to
director
Anderson
Kelleher
and
see
who
is
going
to
be
presenting
this.
C
G
G
This
is
the
public
hearing
on
water
and
sewer
service
line
repair,
unlike
public
sewers
and
and
water
mains
service
lines.
Sewer
and
water
service
lines
are
privately
owned
and
are
the
responsibility
of
the
property
owner
city
ordinance
enables
procedures
for
the
city
to
repair
or
replace
private
service
lines,
upon
request
from
the
property
owner
to
do
so
or
failure
of
the
property
owner
to
do
so
such
that,
if
the
bill
for
this
work
is
not
paid,
the
cost
is
recovered
through
a
special
assessment
to
the
property
owners.
G
The
process
includes
an
administrative
hearing
or
a
hearing
officer.
Here's
the
assessment
objections
and
makes
decisions
prior
to
the
public
hearing
at
your
committee
today,
the
administrative
hearing
was
held
the
morning
of
September
8th
two
Property
Owners
attended
and
the
hearing
officer
considered
the
facts
of
those
two
cases
and
ordered
both
of
those
assessments
to
be
levied
and
full
Public
Works
recommendation
is
to
pass
a
resolution
to
adopt
and
love
you.
The
special
assessments
I
will
stay
nearby
in
case
there
are
any
questions.
A
Thank
you
for
the
presentation.
I'm
gonna
see.
If
there's
any
questions
from
committee
members
not
see
any
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
open
the
public
hearing
and
I'll
ask
the
clerk.
If
anyone
has
signed
up
to
speak
on
this,
seeing
a
head
shake,
no
I
will
ask
if
anyone
is
here
to
speak
on
this,
who
hasn't
signed
up
and
is
interested
in
talking
about
the
committee
about
this
and
seeing
no
one
willing
or
no
one
wishing
to
speak
on
this
item.
A
I
will
go
ahead
and
close
the
public
hearing
and
proceed
to
moving
this
item
and
we'll
see
if
there
are
any
questions
or
comments
from
committee
members
not
seeing
you
I
will
add
in
another
comment.
After
an
item
I,
you
know
this
is
an
area
where
I
think
all
of
this
makes
sense
with
why
we're
passing
this
assessment
or
approving
these
assessments
today
based
off
our
existing
code.
It
is
also
an
area
where
I
would
like
to
see
the
city
move
in
a
different
direction.
On
this.
A
Frankly,
a
lot
of
homeowners
don't
realize
that
they're
responsible
for
these
lines
that
are
under
their
properties.
They
don't
realize
that
your
sewer
line
could
collapse
and
you
could
be
on
the
hook
for
fifteen
thousand
dollars,
for
instance,
and
property
insurance
doesn't
cover
it
in
most
cases.
So
the
fortunate
thing
is
that
it's
a
very
low
occurrence
overall
in
the
city
for
property
owners.
A
But
the
problem
is
it's
a
very
high
consequence
to
folks
when
it
does
happen,
and
so
I
know
that
this
is
something
where
it's
an
area
that
I'm
interested
in
and
there's
I
know.
Other
council
members
are
interested
in
so
I
think
there's
going
to
be
continued
conversation
outside
of
this
committee,
looking
at
how
we
might
be
able
to
strike
a
better
balance
moving
forward
in
the
future,
so
that
we
just
have
a
more
Equitable
situation
at
the
end
of
the
day.
A
H
A
Forward
as
well
so
we'll
go
ahead
and
ask
all
those
in
approval
to
say
aye
aye,
those
opposed,
say,
nay,
and
the
motion
carries
and
next
we'll
move
on
to
our
final
item,
which
is
really
fun
today,
because
we
of
course
love
all
of
our
Public
Works,
family
and
friends.
A
Here
they
come
every
couple
weeks
to
present
to
talk
about
their
work
and
working
with
the
council,
but
today
we
get
to
welcome
another
department
to
our
committee,
and
so
that's
a
treat,
because
it's
not
every
day
that
that
happens
and
so
welcome
to
our
CIO
for
the
city.
Paul
Cameron
welcome
to
talk
about
digital
Equity
today,
which
is
a
really
important
issue.
Thank.
I
You
please
the
floor
is
all
yours.
Thank
you,
chair
Johnson,
for
the
rest
of
the
committee.
My
name
is
Paul
Cameron
I
am
the
Chief
Information
officer
for
the
City
of
Minneapolis
and
I.
Just
want
to
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
talk
to
you
today
about
the
work
that
the
City
of
Minneapolis
I.T
department
is
doing
around
digital
equity.
I
So
for
several
years
we've
been
working
on
different
initiatives
in
this
area.
During
the
pandemic,
the
importance
of
digital
Equity
work
was
really
highlighted
and
we
worked
to
solidify
a
partnership
with
both
Hennepin
County
and
Minneapolis
public
schools,
and
within
that
we
developed
a
shared
vision
and
goal
to
kind
of
outline
what
what
was
important
for
our
three
agencies.
I
So
to
help
us
with
this
in
2020,
when
the
arpa
process
was
going
on,
the
City
of
Minneapolis
approved
two
million
dollars
of
arpa
money
for
this
work.
I
We
expect
the
funds
for
the
for
the
digital
Equity
work
to
last
through
about
2024,
and
so
we
have
funding
for
about
another
little
over
two
years.
At
this
point
and
we'll
see,
as
we
continue
the
program
kind
of
how
how
long
we're
able
to
stretch
that
out
at
this
point
in
time.
I
So
we
looked
at
eligible
households
for
kind
of
where
we
wanted
to
Target
the
efforts
for
this,
and
and
for
this
we
were
really
looking
to
National
guidelines
and
sort
of
with
two
main
parameters.
One
of
them
was
economically
disadvantaged,
households
and
residents,
who've
experienced
barriers
to
accessing
high
quality
internet
services
and
then
also
households
and
residents
who
are
considered
low
or
moderate
income.
So
pre-pandemic
in
using
numbers
from
Hennepin
County.
It's
estimated
that
the
city
had
about
31
000
helmick.
I
Those
numbers
were
found
to
be
closer
to
fifty
thousand
across
the
city,
who
were
just
lacking
access
to
high
quality
internet
service.
So
many
of
these
households
are
already
using
County,
Services
and
or
they
are
members
of
Minneapolis
public
schools,
and
so
that
was
another
factor
in
US
wanting
this
strong
partnership
with
Hennepin
County.
They
already
have
a
relationship
with
many
of
the
residents
in
Minneapolis
who
were
trying
to
help
through
these
efforts.
I
So
as
part
of
this
work
and
something
that
I'm
really
proud
of,
is
we,
our
partnership
has
been
nationally
recognized
by
the
national
digital
inclusion
Alliance
and
was
named
a
2022
digital
inclusion
Trailblazer.
So
far,
only
32
cities
and
Counties
have
met
this
standard
for
inclusion
in
this.
I
So
I'd
like
to
go
over
just
kind
of
the
main
programs
or
types
of
assistance
that
we're
offering
through
this.
So
one
of
the
main
areas
of
focus
that
we
have
is
making
sure
that
eligible
households
just
have
access
to
the
internet.
This
can
manifest
in
a
variety
of
ways
anything
from
broadband
vouchers,
which
is
really
just
almost
a
direct
financial
assistance
to
households
to
pay
for
Internet
service,
providing
hot
spots
to
highly
mobile
individuals
provide
devices
when
needed.
I
If
that
is
something
that
they
need,
we
are
also
running
two
connectivity
Pilots
with
a
non-profit
with
a
goal
of
providing
internet
access
to
240
qualifying
households.
The
pilot
sites
are
at
the
intersections
of
Lake
Street
and
Hiawatha
in
the
south
side
of
Minneapolis,
and
then
we
have
another
one
at
West,
Broadway
and
Fremont
Avenue
in
the
north
sides.
I
One
thing
just
as
we've
gone
through
this
work
that
we've
recognized
is
that
there
is
not
a
one-size-fits
all
there's
really
a
variety
of
issues,
and
so
we
we
have
tried
to
be
as
flexible
in
developing
the
different
ways
in
which
we
can
help
the
individuals
that
we're
running
into
contact
with.
I
One
of
the
other
things
that
we
wanted
to
focus
on
is
education
and
security,
so
think
of
this,
the
very
specifically
around
cyber
education,
cyber
security.
We
want
people
to
be
safe
when
they
are
out
on
the
internet,
so
we
recognize
the
need
to
prepare
residents
for
participation
in
the
online
world.
I
We
have
been
working
with
Partners,
both
external
and
within
the
city
on
educational
and
awareness
programs,
so
I'd
like
to
just
call
out
specifically,
both
the
communications
and
the
NCR
departments
have
been
really
vital
with
us
on
our
partnership
to
to
work
on
developing
these
I
feel
like
we're
kind
of
in
the
early
early
stages
of
this
one,
with
more
more
to
come
as
we
continue
to
to
move
through
this.
I
The
last
area
that
we
have
been
focused
on-
and
this
is
probably
the
one
that
I'm
most
excited
about-
is
a
digital
Navigator
program.
So
right
now,
Hennepin
County
is
in
the
process
of
hiring
for
digital
Navigators,
specifically
for
the
City
of
Minneapolis,
so
these
Navigators
will
engage
directly
with
residents
to
help
them
access
resources,
connect
to
programs
and
improve
their
digital
literacy.
I
So
we
anticipate
that
The
Navigators
will
spend
some
time
at
the
Minneapolis
service
center
in
partnership
with
city
employees,
as
well
as
other
locations
throughout
the
city
as
identified
by
our
partners.
So
this
is
a
very
much
an
ongoing
process
right
now,
a
few
of
those
partners
that
we're
working
with
once
again
the
NCR
Department
we've
had
contact
with
the
Minneapolis
public
housing
authority,
career
force
centers,
as
well
as
the
Minneapolis
public
schools,
so
I'm
hopeful
that
we
will
continue
to
find
new
and
innovative
ways
to
utilize.
These
individuals.
I
We
want
to
make
sure
that
the
residents
of
Minneapolis
are
getting
value
from
these
programs.
There
are
some
easy
things
to
measure
like
we
can
measure
how
many
vouchers
are
handed
out.
We
can
measure
how
many
interactions
digital
Navigators
have
with
residents.
I
What
is
a
much
more
challenging
question
is
what
impact
those
interactions
have
across
the
city
and
I.
There's
there's
not
really
a
an
easy
answer
for
sure
at
that
right
now,
and
so
to
better
understand
that
and
just
how
we
measure
the
success
of
the
project.
I
We
know
that
we
may
need
to
do
a
digital
Equity
study
at
some
point
as
something
that
would
be
funded
through
the
efforts
that
we
have
so
and
then,
as
also
as
part
of
this
we're
working
on
developing
some
key
performance
indicators
and
I
will
just
add
that
I
would
welcome
your
input
into
that
process.
I
J
You
chair,
Johnson,
I,
don't
know
if
I
missed
this
part.
I
know
we.
It
sounds
like
we've
been
working
very
closely
with
Hennepin
County.
Has
there
also
been
any
linkages
between
specifically
like
some
of
these
initiatives
with
the
universal
basic
income
pilot
that
I
know
we've
been
doing
at
the
city.
I
know:
that's
been
targeting
families
that
kind
of
fit
the
categories
of
of
this
initiative
of
you
know
financially,
you
know
under
resource
households,
so
just
seeing
if
there
was
any
collaboration
or
integration
between
that
City
initiative
too.
I
Yeah
so
council
member,
wants
I
appreciate
the
question.
I
I.
Don't
have
a
lot
of
detail
on
that
specific
that
that
specific
initiative
and
so
I,
don't
know
for
sure.
If
it's
something
that
NCR
is
involved
with,
and
there
may
be
that
connection
I
would
be
happy
to
find
out
and
it
sounds
like
it
sounds
like
it
would
be,
a
great
connection
for
us
one
way
or
the
other.
If
we
aren't
doing
anything
today
with.
J
That
yeah
and
just
a
quick
follow-up
to
with
the
stable
School
stable
housing
program,
something
similar
that
I
know,
is
a
direct
partnership
with
MPS,
which
is
also
a
partner
in
this,
but
another
city
program
where
we're
looking
at
families
that
have
you
know
certain
different
challenges
facing
them
and
I
I
can
imagine
would
be
a
good
qualifier
for
initiative
like
this
too.
So
I
wasn't
sure
if
we
already
had
something
looped
through
that
City
initiative
or
city
program
too,.
I
Yes,
council
member
wants
I
appreciate
that
what
might
be
best
is
we
can
follow
up
with
just
some
of
the
more
specifics
with
you
offline
just
to
to
to
let
you
know,
and
if
you
have
specific
suggestions
for
us,
I
would
be
more
than
happy
to
to
to
hear
them,
and
you
know
we
are
looking
for
for
feedback
around
this.
So
awesome.
I
H
You
chair
Johnson,
is
this
program
in
collaboration
with
the
Xfinity.
You
know
they
have
like
a
credit
that
families
underserved
families
can
get.
Is
this
in
collaboration
with
that
or
how
does
that
work
for
families.
I
So,
council,
member
Vito,
the
the
the
Comcast
program
that
you're
speaking
of
the
the
vouchers
that
we
have
will
basically
cover
that
cost
of
the
the
internet
through
Comcast
as
well
as
other
providers
from
you
know,
there's
really
three
main
Broadband
providers
in
Minneapolis.
We
have
Comcast
and
CenturyLink
and
U.S
internet,
and
it
would
cover
all
three
of
those
potentially.
K
I'm
wondering
the
stage
of
the
Navigator
program-
and
you
know
I'm,
just
reflecting
on
some
experience
visiting
one
of
the
encampments
in
my
ward,
how
impactful,
having
reliable
access
to
a
smartphone
that
has
internet
connection
connectivity
is
in
terms
of
even
scheduling,
appointments
with
case
managers
to
get
those
housing
referrals
I'm
wondering
if
those
navigate,
if
those
Navigators
have
started
yet
or
it
sounds
like
it's
kind
of
in
the
early
stages
of
this
process.
I
Councilmember
Payne,
thank
you
for
the
question
right
now.
The
you
know
the
the
county
was
waiting
on
the
kind
of
the
logistics
of
the
agreement
with
the
city
to
be
finalized
and,
and
so
I
believe
that
just
happened
over
the
last
week
or
two.
So
the
approval
happened
roughly
a
month
ago,
but
then
there
were
some
signatures.
That
I
believe
just
happened
over
the
last
week
or
two.
They
have
been
waiting
for
those
signatures
and
they
are
now
starting
I
believe
they've
got
if
they
haven't
posted
them
already
they
will
be.
I
I
would
expect
that
they
would
be
making
some
hiring
decisions,
I'm
hopeful
sometime
in
October
or
November,
and
you
know
kind
of
bringing
those
individuals
on
shortly.
After
that.
I
I
would
very
much
agree
with
that.
I
I
think
you
know
we
are
trying
to
identify
things
that
we
know
and
reaching
out
to
Partners.
You
know
one
of
the
more
fruitful
conversations
recently
was
with
the
Minneapolis
public
housing
authority,
but
are
definitely
open
to
other
ideas
of
of
how
they
could
be
engaged
at
the
community.
I
think
it's
important
that
we
look
to
have
them
meet
the
community
where
the
community
is
at
instead
of
expecting
people
to
come
to
us.
For
this.
A
Thank
you
any
other
comments
or
questions
from
colleagues.
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
the
presentation.
I
had
two
quick
questions
for
you.
First
off,
do
you
have
stats
on
I
know?
You
talked
about
50
000
households
during
covid.
Without
access,
do
you
have
stats
so
far
on
how
many
people
we've
been
able,
through
this
work,
to
get
access
to.
I
Councilmember
Johnson
I
do
not
at
the
tip
of
my
fingers
for
right
now
have
that,
but
I
can
work
to
try
to
provide
that
it's.
It
was
one
of
the
things
I
was
thinking
about
before
coming
into.
This
is
just
this
would
be
a
great
dashboard
for
us
to
publish
yeah
of
just
this
information
as
we
collect
it,
and
that
way
just
everyone
would
have
access
to
it.
So.
A
Absolutely
well,
thank
you
and
then
also
have
you
thought
about
ways
that
you
could
enlist
Property,
Owners
or
landlords
specifically
to
help
provide
access.
I
Chair
Johnson,
thank
you
just
reflecting
on
that
for
a
minute
like
in
and
just
realizing
that
my
experience
is
probably
with
larger
buildings.
Like
I
know,
we've
had
conversations
with
Minneapolis
public
housing
authority
around
that
and
they
have
contracts
with
a
single
provider
for
their
buildings
in
in
most
cases,
that
is
what
larger
apartment,
buildings
or
condos,
which
will
generally
have
I,
have
not
thought
about
that
and
I.
I
Don't
know
that
we've
really
put
thought
into
what
it
is
like
for
the
smaller
rental
units,
and
so
that
is
something
that
I
will
take
back
to
the
team
and
we'll
probably
have
some
conversations
with
regulatory
services
or
cpat
or
just
identifying,
and
you
know,
we've
got
access
to
all
of
the
you
know
the
rental
permit
data
and
whatnot
to
look
into
that
so
I.
It's
an
interesting
thought.
So
thank
you
great.
A
Thank
you,
and
you
know,
I
did
think
of
one
other
thing
as
well.
I
know
at
least
contractually
with
us
internet.
They
were
to
provide
residence
access
through
their
their
open
wi-fi
to
I,
think
they
call
it
the
digital,
Garden
or
Civic
Garden,
so
I
think
contractually.
Isn't
it
a
hundred
websites
we
can
choose
to
White
list
and
give
people
access
to
I'm
sure
there
must
be
some
sort
of
process
talking
with
USI
about
that.
A
We
could
essentially
update
the
portal
to
allow
access
to
those
sites
and
that
can
be
kind
of
the
bare
minimum
that
whether
you're
a
citizen
of
Minneapolis
or
not,
if
you're
in
the
city-
and
you
have
access
to
this
wi-fi
which,
mostly
across
the
city,
you
do
you'd,
be
able
to
access
these
kind
of
basic
essential
websites,
whether
that's
access
to
County,
Services
or
the
weather.
Or
you
know
the
news
or
our
Minnesota
public
or
Minneapolis
public
schools
or
those
sort
of
things.
I
I
I
have
not
like
looked
at
the
specifics,
for
that.
I
was
aware
of
the
Walled
Garden,
but
I
haven't
I
I,
don't
know
that
we've
really
looked
at
those
the
like
what
websites
would
be
included
in
that,
so
that
I
think
is
just
something
else
that
I
will
take
away
and
would
be
happy
to
update
you
and
the
rest
of
the
members
of
the
committee
on
when
I
can
get
a
little
bit
more
concrete
information
on
that.
For
you
perfect
all.
K
Thank
you
sure,
Johnson
yeah
I
was
just
wondering
if
apologies
for
arriving
late,
I
had
a
conflict,
but
if
I
could
be
noted
as
an
eye
for
our
consent
agenda
today,
as.
G
A
All
right,
perfect,
thank
you.
Well,
I
will
again
thank
you,
so
much
director
for
the
presentation
really
great
to
see
this
initiative
and
all
the
work
that
the
Department's
doing
on
this
and
our
partners
as
well,
thanks
to
them
the
county,
Minneapolis
public
schools
and
PHA
for
participating
with
us
or
talking
with
us
and
helping
Advance.
This
work
as
well,
so
not
seeing
any
other
comments
or
questions
without
objection.
