A
Present,
thank
you.
Please
let
the
record
reflect
that
we
have
a
quorum
colleagues,
we
have
two
items
on
the
published
agenda
today,
in
addition
to
our
reports
of
committees
that
have
met
this
cycle,
there's
also
an
addition
to
the
agenda
that
I
emailed
about
yesterday,
which
is
regarding
legislative
Council
process
after
Consulting
Jessica
Stone,
our
other
presenter.
Today
we
will
introduce
the
legislative
Council
process
item
right
after
our
consent
item
just
from
a
need
of
people's
schedules
today
and
then
invite
up
Jessica
Stone.
A
So
sorry,
clerks,
I'm,
so
first
item
number
one
is
our
regular
report
on
contract
Awards
and
amendments
that
have
been
approved
over
the
last
month
by
the
ad
hoc
work
group
established
for
American
Rescue
plan
act,
related
expenditures,
staff
doesn't
have
a
presentation
for
this
item
today,
but
is
on
hand.
If
colleagues
have
any
questions,
Josh
Schaefer
as
I
understand
it
is
here
to
field
those
questions
or
could
be
because
I
don't
see
him
immediately
in
the
room.
A
Are
there
any
questions
for
that
consent?
Agenda
item.
A
E
You,
madam
vice
president,
good
afternoon,
as
noted,
my
name
is
Casey
Carl
of
the
privilege
of
serving
as
clerk
for
the
City
of
Minneapolis
and
as
noted
I'm
joined
by
our
city
auditor,
Ryan
Patrick,
to
discuss
the
status
of
the
legislative
department
and
its
development
under
our
new
voter
approved
government
structure.
We
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
discuss
our
work
with
you
today.
E
So,
as
this
body
knows
over
the
course
of
the
last
two
years,
there's
been
significant
change
in
the
city
government,
possibly
the
most
significant
change
over
the
course
of
its
life
as
a
municipality
first
Incorporated
in
1867,
so
100
plus
years
in
2021,
voters
approved
an
amendment
to
the
city
Charter.
That
was
amendment
number
184,
which
implemented
a
new
governance
framework
that
separated
a
legislative
and
executive
functions
between
the
council
and
the
mayor.
E
Based
on
the
traditional
strong
mayor
form
of
government,
the
details
of
that
Amendment
are
listed
on
the
left
side
of
this
slide
and,
as
we
have
discussed
that
Amendment
merely
addressed
the
overarching
framework.
The
entire
plan
was
to
transition
to
a
strong
mayor
governance
system.
The
details
of
that
implementation,
including
how
the
city's
Administration
was
to
be
organized
and
operated,
were
left
to
be
decided
by
elected
policy
makers.
E
So
throughout
2021,
the
mayor
and
Council
negotiated
that
operating
structure
within
the
overarching
governance
frame
framework,
which
was
ultimately
then
adopted
and
codified
in
ordinance
number
2022
for
five.
The
details
of
that
are
shown
on
the
right
side
of
this
slide
together
that
Charter
Amendment
and
the
ordinance
have
then
established
our
new
governance
and
operating
framework
for
the
City
of
Minneapolis
I.
Think
it's
an
important
point
to
keep
in
mind,
since
some
of
in
the
community
apparently
are
unaware
that
the
charter
change
itself
did
not
address
an
entire
plan.
E
This
slide
shows
the
outline
of
the
six
new
chapters
that
were
created
through
that
government
structure,
ordinance,
which
was
finally
enacted.
This
past
October.
As
highlighted
on
the
slide,
you
can
see
the
ordinance
included
chapter
8,
which
focuses
on
the
city
council
on
the
creation
of
a
legislative
Department
in
2022.
E
Second,
the
administration
constitutes
the
vast
majority
of
the
city's
internal
bureaucracy,
about
84
percent
of
the
entire
city
Enterprise,
so
focusing
on
the
administration
and
the
executive
branch
first
made
sense.
Of
course,
that
does
not
mean
that
we
didn't
give
attention
to
the
legislative
Department.
E
So
here
we're
showing
the
city's
official
table
of
organizations.
You
can
see.
We've
called
out
the
legislative
Department,
which
includes
the
city
council
and
the
offices
of
city
clerk
and
City
auditor
as
operating
units
within
that
larger
Department
in
the
government
structure
ordinance.
It
provides
that
the
legislative
Department
exists
to
provide
institutional
support
to
ensure
the
effective
operation
of
the
city,
council
and
its
committees.
Since
the
adoption
of
that
ordinance,
we've
been
collaborating
with
our
partners
in
the
administration
to
implement
that
vision
for
a
new,
singular
Department.
E
That
includes
work
with
the
human
resources
department,
finance
and
Property
Services
and
information
technology
to
ensure
the
city's
Management
systems
are
aligned
with
that
new,
singular
Department
established
in
the
ordinance
before
I
turn
it
over
to
Mr
Patrick
to
go
through
details.
I
wanted
to
make
a
few
other
points
to
help
provide
some
context
to
our
work
on
government
structure,
not
just
our
work
as
it
pertains
to
the
legislative
Department.
More
broadly,
also,
our
shared
collaboration
as
a
city
Enterprise
to
implement
the
voters
directive
on
how
the
city
is
to
be
governed
and
operate.
E
As
we've
noted
before
we've
consulted
with
other
jurisdictions
that
have
gone
through
similar
restructurings
consistently.
The
feedback
and
advice
we've
received
is
that
these
kinds
of
significant
changes
take
time
and
require
that
all
stakeholders
have
patience.
As
I've
noted,
this
is
the
single
most
significant
change
in
the
city's
history.
Some
important
work
that
will
be
impacted
by
this
change
occurs
infrequently
sometimes
only
once
in
many
years.
For
example,
redistricting
all
of
our
electoral
precincts,
adopting
new
comprehensive
plans
for
development
and
growth
or
electing
policy
makers.
E
E
On
the
executive
side
shown
in
blue,
you
can
see.
Authority
is
vested
in
a
single
elected
chief
executive
who's
in
charge.
The
mayor,
as
chief
executive
is
elected
by
and
represents
the
entire
Community
command
is
defined
by
a
top-down
hierarchy.
More
like
a
military
or
a
corporate
model.
Accountability
is
very
clear.
The
mayor
has
clearly
defined
power
and
responsibility
and
action
on
the
executive
side
can
be
fast,
Nimble
and
adaptable
to
changing
situations
on
the
legislative
side
shown
in
green.
You
can
see.
E
Authority
is
vested
in
a
multi-member
elected
body
of
equals,
where
there
is
no
one
individual
in
charge,
directions
are
often
driven
by
the
need
for
collaboration,
consensus
and
compromise.
Accountability
is
mutable
based
on
the
majority
of
the
moment.
Members
are
each
elected
from
a
portion
of
the
community.
Individuals
have
no
power
or
responsibilities,
because
all
power
is
vested
in
the
body
and
action
is
slow,
deliberate
and
not
easily
changed.
E
As
you
can
see,
the
two
branches
are
fundamentally
different
by
Design
in
terms
of
roles
and
responsibilities
that
are
assigned
to
him
to
them
and
how
they
are
designed
to
accomplish
those
responsibilities.
The
executive
branch
resembles,
as
I
said,
a
corporate
model
of
top-down
accountability
and
a
chain
of
command
structure.
F
Foreign,
thank
you.
Mr
Carl
council
president
Jenkins
members
of
the
council,
I'm
Ryan,
Patrick
I'm,
your
new
city
auditor,
as
of
three
weeks
ago,
as
he
mentioned,
I'm,
very
excited
to
be
standing
in
front
of
you
today
to
provide
a
bit
of
update
on
where
we
are
in
the
city
auditor's
office,
as
now
part
of
a
legislative
Department.
F
So
as
part
of
the
government
restructure,
larger
Omnibus
ordinance
that
passed,
we
established
new
lines
of
business
for
the
city
auditor's
office.
If
you
look
on
the
right,
that's
our
traditional
audit
function
that
largely
remains
unchanged
in
reporting
to
the
audit
committee
conducting
risk-based
assurance
and
audit
engagements.
What
is
new
and
Innovative,
and
what
we're
talking
about
now
and
going
to
be
talking
about
over
the
coming
years.
Are
the
branches
you
see
on
the
left
and
in
the
middle?
F
One
is
specifically
called
out
in
the
new
ordinance
and
that
that
is
the
policy
and
research
division.
That
is
a
division.
That's
designed
to
support
Council,
as
it
undergoes
its
legislative
process
with
free,
non-partisan
policy,
evaluation
and
research
in
the
budget
for
this
year,
three
positions
were
funded.
Currently,
you
see
those
highlighted
as
senior
project
managers
and
analysts.
Those
are
the
people
who,
when
we
onboard
them,
are
going
to
be
here
to
help
support
that
legislative
process.
The
other
Branch
kind
of
delineated
in
that
same
ordinance
is
the
oversight
and
evaluation
component.
F
It's
not
a
distinct
division.
Right
now
of
the
city
auditor's
office,
it's
something
we're
working
towards
and
to
that
respect
you
provided
some
Professional
Services
dollars.
We
see
this
as
going
towards
analyzing
fiscal
notes
as
they
attach
to
legislation
assisting
with
the
review
of
the
mayor's
budget
that
will
be
in
development
this
year,
hopefully
for
this
upcoming
mayoral
budget
season.
F
So
some
key
highlights
of
stuff
in
progress.
First
is
under
the
new
ordinance
and
the
new
Charter.
We
have
a
new
audit
committee.
It
used
to
be
an
even
balance
between
Community
appointees,
a
member
of
the
park
board
and
Council
Representatives.
Now,
under
the
new
Charter,
we
are
required
to
have
more
Community
appointments
than
electeds.
To
that
respect,
we
are
intending
to
onboard
new
community
members,
we're
looking
for
four
community
members
and
I'll
be
asking
you
now
and
in
the
future
to
assist
with
that
recruitment
process.
F
We're
working
on
a
quote-unquote
position
profile
for
what
makes
for
an
audit
Committee
Member,
we'll
be
looking
to
appoint
new
members
for
the
April
audit
committee
meeting
occurring
in
the
second
quarter
of
this
year.
At
that
meeting,
and
one
of
the
things
that
we're
required
to
do
each
and
every
year
is
to
propose
an
audit
Charter
that
dictates
how
internal
audit
performs
its
work
and
that
Charter
is
affirmed
by
the
audit
committee.
This
is
a
novel
year.
F
We
now
have
an
additional
whole
line
of
business,
and
this
really
important
virtual
first
step
is
in
the
audit
Charter
delineating
how
the
policy
and
research
division
works
with
Council.
It's
going
to
be
a
high
level
skeleton
of
of
how
audit,
as
the
committee,
who
oversees
the
work
of
the
city
officer,
auditor
delegates,
some
of
that
responsibility
and
direct
oversight
to
council
to
assist
with
those
those
research
and
oversight
functions.
F
And
then
our
goal
in
Q2
and
Q3
is
to
fill
out
the
Enterprise
risk
assessment
report
that
dictates
the
audit
plan.
The
risk-based
integrated
audit
plan,
that
is
the
plan
itself
and
then
the
opportunities
assessment
plan
kind
of
a
working
title,
but
we're
thinking
of
that
as
the
plan
in
which
dictates
how
we're
going
to
help
you
in
your
legislative
Mission.
So
that
is
in
the
works.
We're
planning
on
doing
that
over
the
next
several
months,
so
major
department
initiatives
where
we're
headed.
Why?
F
This
is
so
fortuitous
that
a
number
of
things
are
coming
together
at
this
moment,
we're
continuing
to
do
our
analysis
of
legislative
departments
and
other
jurisdictions,
finding
similarities
amongst
other
other
cities
and
whatnot,
and
using
those
to
inform
us
forming
relationships
with
them,
so
that
we
can.
We
can
receive
their
assistance
and
and
knowledge
the
core
legislative
process
to
be
codified
in
chapter
nine
legislative
process
reform
as
it's
been
called
now.
F
We
are
important
role
in
that
the
city
auditor's
office
is
going
to
play
a
key
key
piece
in
that
and
Via
that
legislative
process
reform
that
will
build
out
a
more
fully
realized
product
of
what
the
city
honors
office
and
specifically
the
policy
and
research
division,
does
to
support
you.
So
as
we're
working
on
legislative
process,
reform,
City
auditor's
office
will
be
a
contributor
in
that
working
with
you
to
develop
that
and
making
sure
that
we're
integrated
into
that
in
a
meaningful
way.
F
We
will
reconstitute
the
audit
committee
per
the
city
Charter
so
that
it
meets
that
definition
and
adopt
that
audit
Charter
delegating
the
authority
and
then
again
the
reform
of
the
board
and
commissions
process.
As
part
of
the
legislative
department
is
a
key
piece
in
this,
as
the
audit
committee
is
one
component
happy
to
stand
for
any
questions.
G
Thank
you
vice
president
palmisano
I
just
want
to
First
say
thank
you
so
much
to
Mr,
Patrick
and
Mr
Carl
for
this
presentation.
You
know.
For
the
past
year
my
office
has
been
raising
the
fact
that
government
structure
conversations
thus
far
have
exclusively
focused
on
the
mayor's
executive
side.
While
the
council
legislative
process
was
a
bit
neglected,
I
have
continued
to
raise.
You
know
these
issues,
and
you
know
in
regards
to
how
it's
made
it
extremely
difficult
for
me
and
my
staff
to
do
our
jobs.
G
This
has
already
resulted
in
delays
in
getting
information
back
to
council,
and
that's
just
you
know
one
example
couple
of
the
the
ways
in
which
this
this
organization
and
lack
of
standardization
on
the
legislative
side,
you
know,
has
really
impacted
many
of
us
who
are
interested
as
council
members
in
advancing
the
the
needs
of
our
residents
through
legislative
action.
It's
really
impacted
our
ability
to
do
so
so
I
just
want
to
name.
You
know.
G
That
has
been
the
promise
for
this
new
legislative
side
of
our
new
government
structure,
but
we
have
not
taken
any
formal
public
action
towards
making
that
a
reality,
but
I'm
excited
to
see
that
you
know
that
will
change
today
with
the
motion
that
I'm
bringing
forward
with
Council
vice
president
palmisano.
G
This
motion
will
build
upon
the
work
that
our
staff-
you
know-
Mr
Carl,
all
and
Mr
Patrick-
have
already
done
and
will
formally
have
you
all
come
back
in
May
to
this
body
with
a
comprehensive
list
of
recommendations
of
how
we
can
continue
standardizing
and
making
efficient
and
effective
the
legislative
side
of
our
government.
G
We
can
give
that
all
the
love,
the
TLC,
that
it
needs
and
has
been
needing,
and
it's
in
everybody's
interest
to
invest
time
and
energy
into
making
sure
that
we
have
a
legislative
body
that
is
able
to
really
advocate
for
working
class
people's
interests
using
our
full
Authority
and
not
just
become
a
rubber
stamp
of
you
know
or
rubber
stamping
body
for
the
executive
side.
So
I'm
really
excited
to
see
that
work
move
forward
and
thank
you
all
for
what
you've
done
thus
far.
C
Thank
you.
Vice
president
yeah
I'm
wondering
what
your
thoughts
are.
You
know,
and
this
is
kind
of
speaking
from
Context,
that
we
share
of
working
at
the
staff
level,
basically
doing
a
lot
of
this
policy
work
to
enact
ordinances,
and
we
know
under
the
previous
government
structure
there
wasn't
this
like
bright
line
between
administrative
work
and
legislative
work,
and
so
a
lot
of
the
staff
across
every
Department
would
be
tasked
with
policy
work
whenever
it
was
appropriate.
C
You
know
various
staff
positions
on
the
executive
side
that
have
been
tapped
on
occasion
to
do
policy
work
and
how
that
might
actually
you
know
should
some
of
those
staff
be
a
part
of
this
legislative
department
or,
if
not
like,
have
you
thought
about
what
that
workflow
would
look
like
in
terms
of
the
legislative
Department
partnering
with
the
administrative
staff
when
it
comes
to
developing
legislation.
F
Yeah,
thank
you.
Council
memory,
Payne
they're
always
going
to
be
subject
matter.
Experts
in
departments
who
know
the
work
and
in
audit
we
always
collaborate
with
those
Partners.
You
know
we
have,
of
course,
primary
unrestricted
access
to
information
that
we
need
to
complete
audits,
but
that
can't
happen
in
a
vacuum,
and
so
it's
always
necessary
to
build
those
relationships.
Work
with
those
departments,
those
subject
matter
experts
as
we're
working
on
policies,
audits,
whatever
it
might
be,
that
touches
on
their
work.
F
I
can't
say:
I
have
a
necessarily
a
direct
answer
to
that
question:
safe
to
say
that
this
is
always
going
to
be
collaborative.
The
city
auditor's
office
is
always
going
to
work
with
those
those
people
and
part
of
figuring
out
how
that
that
relationship
works
is
a
big
part
of
understanding
this
whole
process
and
developing
it.
C
Yeah
I
would
just
say
just
it's
something:
I
think
we
should
be
really
intentional
about
as
this
department
and
capability
matures
about
who's
best
suited
to
do
the
work
and,
like
you
said,
a
lot
of
those
subject
matter.
Experts
are
kind
of
throughout
the
city,
Enterprise
and
I'm.
Just
I
just
want
us
to
kind
of
think
intentionally
about
where
they
can
be
most
effective.
Absolutely.
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
Payne
I,
put
myself
in
queue
to
just
speak
a
little
bit
to
your
presentation.
First
I
appreciate
how
you
framed
these
slides
in
your
comments
in
terms
of
explaining
that
we
have
two
separate
but
related
actions
that
created
the
new
government
structure.
First,
the
charter
Amendment
approved
by
voters
that
addressed
the
system
of
governance,
but
second,
the
ordinance
that
created
our
operating
structure
with
departments
and
that's
really
our
own
creation
as
a
governing
body.
A
In
keeping
with
that
I
think
it
would
be
helpful
for
us
to
consult
with
the
charter
Commission
on
future
changes
that
would
support
further
implementation
of
this
new
structure.
After
all,
they
were
the
authors
of
the
charter
amendment
that
was
approved
by
voters.
They
can
always
propose
additional
amendments
in
the
future.
I
understand:
that's
not
on
the
plan
for
this
year
at
this
point
in
time,
but
the
charter
commission
has
a
working
group
that
is
tasked
with
considering
government
structure.
A
A
So
that's
kind
of
a
third
leg
of
what
you
all
were
saying
so
I
would
appreciate
hearing
feedback
over
the
next
day
or
two
from
colleagues
on
that
idea.
If
so
long
as
there's
consensus
on
that
approach,
I
could
bring
forward
an
additional
emotion
to
that
effect
for
our
full
city
council
meeting
on
Thursday
I
want
to
acknowledge
council
member
wansley
helped
to
draft
this
motion
that
is
before
you
that
was
sent
out
yesterday.
That
really
the
first
two
are
really
about
what
our
next
steps
are
as
a
council.
A
What
our
priorities
are
in
terms
of
legislative
process
items
three
and
four
are
really
more.
The
items
that
the
city
auditor
and
our
city
clerk
have
been
working
on
and
then
this
last
piece
you
know,
really
shows
how
we're
going
to
bring
that
regularly
out
in
the
open
and
have
conversations
about
how
we
work
on
this
legislative
process.
So
I
I
do
appreciate
this
motion
and
I'm,
not
sure
if
you
have
but
councilmember
wansley
could
I
presume
that
you've
moved
approval
of
this
motion.
A
Yes
move
approval,
so
then
is
there
any
discussion
on
that
motion
and
I
see
others
in
queue,
including
in
starting
with
council
member
Koski.
H
Thank
you,
madam
vice
president,
and
thank
you
to
our
city,
clerk,
Casey
Carlton
to
our
new
city,
auditor,
Ryan
Patrick,
for
this
presentation
and
for
all
of
your
ongoing
work
on
a
separate
but
related
note.
We
we
did
spend
most
of
last
year
defining
and
building
out
the
executive
branch
and
which
made
and
still
does
make
sense
to
me
so
I
agree.
H
It's
appropriate,
though,
that
now
we
work
on
defining
and
building
out
the
legislative
branch
and
I
think
the
motion
being
brought
forward
today
by
council,
member
wansley
and
Council
vice
president
palmisano
is
is
part
of
that
work.
We
are
the
first
mayor
and
the
first
city
council
to
serve
under
this
new
government
structure.
H
H
That
being
said
at
some
point,
we're
going
to
need
to
work
on
defining
how
the
sex,
the
executive
branch
and
the
legislative
branch
work
together,
we're
elected
to
govern
together
the
executive
branch
and
the
legislative
branch,
the
mayor
and
the
city,
council
and
I
feel
that
that's
not
happening.
What
are
our
shared
values?
H
What
are
our
shared
priorities?
I
believe
we
do
have
shared
values
and
shared
priorities,
but
we
haven't
taken
the
time
to
discuss
them,
to
agree
to
them
or
to
do
strategic
planning
for
them.
We
work
together
this
term
and
we've
been
able
to
accomplish
things
nonetheless,
but
could
we
move
the
needle
so
much
further?
I
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
thank
you
and
Council
member
Wesley
for
bringing
forth
this
motion.
I'm
just
curious
from
the
the
staff
perspective
and
I
and
I
do
appreciate
yourself
and
clerk
Carl
for
bringing
forth
this
presentation
today,
but
I
think
this
motion.
I
As
for
an
initial
presentation,
May
9th
I
just
want
to
get
clarity.
I
know
you
talked
about
clerk,
Carl,
mini
communities
and
different
municipalities
that
this
is
a
long
process
and
so
I'm
just
curious
how
the
state
fits
within
the
work
plan
that
you
guys
have,
except
for
yourselves.
E
Council
vice
president
to
the
council,
president
I
think
this
would
be
my
understanding
and
I
would
look
to
the
authors
of
the
motion
to
tell
me
if
I'm
wrong,
the
May
8th
presentation
would
be
intended
to
be
the
first
of
many
presentations.
E
I
think
that
the
advice
from
other
other
jurisdictions
that
have
gone
through
similar
government
structure
changes
is
that
a
significant
portion
of
change
will
be
made
right
up
front.
But
you
will
continue
to
refine
and
tweak
your
processes
and
systems.
Over
many
years,
the
city
of
San
Diego,
one
of
them
that
we've
identified
as
a
benchmark,
went
from
a
council
manager
system
of
government
to
a
strong
manager
system
of
government
they're
now
12
years
in
since
that
change
was
made
and
according
to
some
of
their
senior
staff,
they
still
12
years
later,
fined
oops.
E
We
need
to
decide
how
does
that
get
done
in
this
new
structure,
because
some
things
only
come
up
in
in
very
long
cycles
and
so
I
think
the
admonition
to
patients
is.
Is
that
long-term
perspective?
So
I
think
that,
as
we
think
about
the
legislative,
Department
I
don't
mean
to
put
words
in
Mr
Patrick's
mouth?
He
can
correct
me,
but
I
think
we'd
like
to
see
a
big
chunk
of
that
work
done
this
year.
E
I
think
that
the
next
term
of
council,
as
councilman
rakoski
pointed
out,
will
be
us
testing
and
refining
and
perfecting
those
systems
and
processes
and
tools
so
that
by
the
time
we
do
the
next
full
municipal
election
in
2020
5.
The
council,
as
a
body
is
resourced.
Appropriately.
Has
the
tool
systems
processes
rules,
guidance
needed
so
that
all
the
members
coming
in
are
on
an
equal
footing
and
can
participate
as
legislators
as
part
of
the
body
and
governing
both
the
community
and
in
overseeing
the
work
of
the
city?
I
No
thank
you
I
appreciate
that
you
know
I
just
want
to
have
real,
clear
expectations,
as
well
as
understanding
the
capacities
of
your
respective
departments.
But,
more
broadly,
you
know
our
departments
throughout
the
city
Enterprise.
If,
if
I
may
Madam
vice
president
just
one
one
last
thing
and
I
guess
how?
I
E
I'll,
take
a
step
at
that
Council.
Vice
president
certainly
defer
to
the
city
auditor
in
our
conversations
I,
don't
think
it
has
ever
been
anticipated
that
the
auditor's
office
or
the
legislative
Department
in
itself
would
assume
the
the
lead
or
primary
responsibility
for
responding
to
Council
in
terms
of
its
legislative
directives.
E
The
real
subject
matter,
expertise
of
the
business
of
those
departments
is
in
those
departments
and
so
I
think
to
paraphrase
Mr
Patrick,
it's
always
going
to
be
a
collaborative
process
where
we
in
the
legislative,
Department
reach
out
to
and
engage
with
our
peers
and
our
colleagues
and
get
input
from
them.
It
may
be
an
independent
analysis.
There
may
be
some.
You
know,
review
of
that
data.
E
There
may
be
a
separate
review
of
comparable
jurisdictions
done
by
our
department,
especially
in
terms
of
like
a
baseline
analysis,
but
I
can't
imagine
many
scenarios
where
we're
talking
about
current
policies
and
current
operations,
and
we
wouldn't
reach
out
to
the
subject
matter,
experts
that
are
embedded
in
our
departments
and
are
responsible
for
the
delivery
of
those
services
that
touch
people's
lives
every
day.
E
Thank
you.
I
also
would
say
it
just
very
quickly.
Council
president
I
appreciate
the
comment
you
raised
about
the
impact
on
departments,
including
ours,
not
just
ours,
but
all
departments
in
terms
of
capacity.
G
J
A
All
right
double
checking
not
seeing
any
other
people
in
queue.
I'll
just
ask
all
in
favor
of
this
motion
to
bless.
Just
please
signify
by
saying
aye
any
opposed.
That
motion
carries
thank.
E
A
Thank
you
for
your
time.
Thank
you
for
this
presentation.
Moving
on
next
on
today's
agenda
is
an
update
on
the
good
cause
program.
The
good
cause
program
is
a
relaunched
data-driven
program
that
restricts
expansion
of
rental
license
portfolios
for
property
owners
with
a
demonstrated
history
of
safety
and
livability
issues.
I've
invited
Jessica
Stone,
our
manager
of
alternative
enforcement
to
give
the
presentation
on
this
item
welcome.
K
Thank
you
good
afternoon,
Chad
palmisano,
council,
president
Jenkins
and
council
members.
My
name
is
Jessica
Stone
I'm,
the
manager,
alternative
enforcement
team
and
Regulatory
Services.
The
alternative
enforcement
team
focuses
on
cases
that
require
Creative
Solutions,
to
hold
Property
Owners
accountable
to
our
rental
protection
ordinances,
as
well
as
to
our
existing
rental
licensing
standards.
We
do
this
after
the
routine
inspection
process
has
been
exhausted
and
there
continues
to
be
non-compliance.
K
K
The
good
cause
program
was
created
as
an
additional
tool
for
regulatory
services
to
focus
on
protecting
retro
stability
and
holding
Property
Owners
accountable
to
minimum
housing
codes,
as
well
as
all
our
licensing
standards.
The
main
objectives
of
the
program
include
avoiding
displacement,
accountability
to
the
standards
and
preventing
the
expansion
of
rental
portfolios
for
property
owners
and
managers
that
have
a
pattern
of
non-compliance.
K
As
it
was
mentioned,
this
program
is
being
relaunched.
The
program
was
originally
launched
in
2014,
with
limitations
on
data
and
tracking
in
the
relaunch
of
good
cause.
The
data
was
used
to
focus
on
actions
that
result:
mismanagement
of
rental
properties,
the
program
uses
criteria
to
identify
patterns
enough
compliance
with
our
standards
and
allows
us
to
track
each
Criterion
in
real
time.
K
All
rental
licensed
properties
were
reviewed
and
assigned
a
point
value
for
violations
in
five
areas:
citations,
fines
for
outstanding
violations
or
repeated
violations
founded
complaints,
which
are
relations
confirmed
by
an
inspection
after
a
complaint
had
been
made
share
with
your
property
condition
score,
which
is
a
categorization
of
properties
that
have
various
life,
safety
and
quality
of
life
code
violations
impacting
rental
livability,
unlawful
occupancy
that
occurs
when
units
or
rooms
are
being
used
for
residential
purposes,
whether
the
proper
permits
or
housing
codes
being
met
and
Rental
license
actions
operating
conditions,
agreements,
revocations
and
tenant
remedy
actions.
K
K
Finally,
we
monitor
the
results
to
ensure
we
prevent
the
expansion
of
rental
property
portfolios
for
property
owners
in
the
program
staff.
Crosscheck
all
new
rental
license
applications
against
a
good
cause
list.
If
a
new
rental
license
is
received
for
a
property
owner
on
the
good
cost
program,
the
license
will
be
denied
and
not
processed
property
owners
have
the
option
of
entering
into
voluntary
conditions
agreement
if
they
would
like
regulatory
services
to
consider
issuing
a
new
license.
K
As
an
option,
property
owners
in
the
program
may
enter
into
a
voluntary
conditions.
Agreement
with
the
city
to
develop
a
productive
plan
for
the
portfolio
conditions
in
the
agreement
would
be
specific
to
the
challenges
that
portfolio
faces
and
would
focus
on.
Long-Term
compliance,
property
owners
and
managers
would
still
be
unable
to
apply
for
an
additional
rental
licenses,
although
it
would
be,
it
could
be
for
a
period
of
shorter
than
two
years.
All
conditions
must
be
met
prior
to
consideration
of
a
new
rental
license.
K
If
a
new
rental
license
application
is
received
for
someone
on
the
good
class
program,
a
letter
would
be
sent
to
the
affected
property
owner
and
manager,
notifying
them
of
the
denial
of
the
license.
Property
Owners
can
appeal
this.
In
writing.
An
administrative
hearing
would
be
scheduled
and
at
the
hearing,
the
property
owner
and
City
would
represent
their
case
to
the
hearing
officer.
K
Before
fully
launching
the
program,
we
notified
internal
staff
and
external
stakeholders.
Internally,
we
held
meetings
with
Inspection
Services
leadership
as
well
as
well
as
field
staff.
We
also
met
with
administrative
staff
who
manage
the
rental,
license,
applications
and
fees
externally
staff
presented
at
the
housing
advisory
committee
and
will
also
present
at
the
rental
property
advisory
committee.
K
A
There
are
a
number
of
council
members
here
on
the
Deus
who
have
experiences
working
with
displacement
of
residents
when
they're
proper
when
they're
buildings
that
they
live
in
are
being
mismanaged
and
I
appreciate
this
data-driven
approach.
There's
a
couple:
people
in
queue
now
I'll
start
with
council
member
wansley.
G
The
first
you
someone
answered
for
sure
in
regards
to
you
know,
there's
a
common
tactic
from
larger
landlords
that
they
will
create
multiple
llc's
to
hold
various
properties,
and
you
know
each
one
of
these
llc's
are
distinct
entities,
and
sometimes
it
can
be
hard
to
tell
how
about
how
violations
are
accumulating
and
how
property
managers
and
developers
you
know
are
pursuing
those
to
accumulate
more
housing
portfolios,
while
their
existing
ones
are
disrepair,
and
you
mentioned
there's
a
monitoring
process.
K
You
for
your
question
council
member
onesley.
We
do
have
better
Data
Tracking
tools
available
to
was
today
one
of
them.
We
like
to
call
our
applicant
match
tool
so
to
your
example.
A
lot
of
llc's
may
come
in
and
have
different.
Spellings
just
may
have
different
names
all
together.
What
we
do
we
are
able
to
track
are
similar
emails,
similar
domains,
maybe
phone
numbers
if
they
use
the
same
shareholder.
Our
tool
is
able
to
capture
that
and
then
put
them
into
what
we're
calling
a
portfolio.
K
So
those
portfolios
are
then
monitored
and
treated
as
one
ownership
or
one
entity
versus
having
to
track
different,
LLCs
I
will
say
there
are
limitations
depending
on
how,
if
there's
all
different
information,
we
can't
really
tell
that
from
our
rental
licensing
applications,
but
we
have
a
very
high
rate
of
success
with
that
of
putting
things
into
portfolios.
We
do
a
periodic
check,
we're
trying
to
figure
out
what
what
will
work
the
best
is
it
quarterly?
K
Is
it
every
other
quarter
of
trying
to
figure
out
when
we
do
this
review,
but
as
of
right
now
we
are
we've
captured
at
least
the
first
20
that
are
going
to
be
on
our
list,
and
we've
been
working
on
that
you
may
have
seen
some
of
the
work
of
my
team.
That's
highlighted
where
we
have
been
tracking
bigger
portfolios,
I'm
doing
our
portfolio
inspections
like
I
mentioned.
This
is
in
addition
to
our
other
enforcement,
so
we
are
already
enforcing
complaints
and
code
violations
that
arise,
and
this
is
again
just
in
addition
to
that.
G
Thank
you
next
question:
can
you
talk
about
if
there
is
any
correlation
or
how
the
good
cause
program
relates
to
the
city's
existing
vacant
building
registry,
to
know
that
some
of
these
owners
do
just
have
vacant
properties
that
are
just
sitting
around
the
city
you
know
getting
in
in
really
bad
conditions
and
things
of
that
nature
so
just
wanted
to
know
if
there
was
any
like
relationship
between
those
two
as
well.
Yes,.
K
There's
no
correlation
the
the
good
cause
program
does
focus
on
occupied
properties
and
Rental
license
property,
specifically
so,
with
the
vacant
building
registration.
We
do
monitor
those
properties
on
a
monthly
basis
and
the
properties
are
identified
through
different
criteria
set
forth
an
ordinance,
so
there
isn't
a
direct
correlation,
but
similarly,
the
only
similarity
there
is
the
monitoring
of
the
property.
G
Thank
you
for
offering
that
clarification.
My
next
questions
related
to
you
know,
citations.
You
know
right
now
we're
actually
having
a
really
good
conversation
within
Public,
Works
and
infrastructure
about
you,
know,
city-led
shoveling
programs
and
knowing
that
unshaveled
sidewalks
lead
to
unsafe
conditions
for
tenants
as
well,
as
you
know,
entire
neighborhoods.
G
This
is
also
a
really
big
problem
in
in
Como,
where
I
represent,
where
a
large
percentage
of
residents
who
are
student,
renters
and
there's
much
of
the
housing
that's
being
owned
by
a
large
corporate
landlords,
and
many
of
those
corporate
landlords
will
take
clearing
the
responsibility
of
clearing
those
sidewalks
and
and
transfer
that
over
to
their
their
tenants,
we're
seeing
that
all
across
the
city
also,
so
just
thinking
of
you
know
citations
or
matters
like
that
like
if
we
were
taking
into
account
clearing
sidewalks
more
seriously,
could
we
tie
that
towards
a
good
cause
program
or,
like
the
threat
of
you,
will
lose
your
license?
G
If
you
are
not
taking
this,
this
clearance,
you
know
seriously
so
just
wanted
to
know
if
there
was
any
ways
to
incorporate.
You
know
citations
related
to
snow
and
ice
removal
into
the
good
cause
program
too.
Knowing
that's
also
tying
a
lot
of
our
licensing
and
property
kind
of
like
oversight
and
monitoring.
K
Yeah
I,
don't
have
it
in
front
of
me.
What
they
do
we
include
specifically
I
can
double
check
to
see
if
that's
already
something
in
there,
but
it's
something
that
we
can
get
back
to
you
on
so
see.
If
we
can
tie
that
in
to
the
program
awesome.
G
And
then
my
last
question
is
actually
related
to
The
tobel
Lofts,
because
my
office
keeps
being
contacted
by
residents
and
tenants
who
continue
to
experience,
challenges
related
to
you
know
that
property
and
also
experiencing
just
challenges-
that's
not
only
with
in
regards
to
the
property
owner,
but
the
City
of
Minneapolis
and
Hennepin
County,
so
I
know
that
there
is
an
investigation
happening
from
Red
Services.
G
But
from
these
conversations
and
from
conversations
had
in
the
biz
committee
around
this
matter,
too,
I
was
made
aware
that
the
city
has
a
tenant
relocation
program
and
just
wanted
to
hear
more
about
the
process
like
what
is
the
typical
turnaround
to
receive
funds
after
applicant
applies
because
that's
Council
vice
president
noted
you
know,
all
of
us
have
dealt
with
a
negligent
property
owner
and
we're
often
left
to
support
the
tenants
as
they
try
to
navigate
The
Fallout
of
of
having
to
deal
with
you
know,
unresponsible
Property
Owners,
so
just
wanted
to
learn
a
little
bit
more
of
that
process.
G
K
Yeah
I
think
we
thank
you
for
your
question.
We
are
planning
to
do
a
series
of
informational
presentations
just
because
there's
a
lot
that
goes
into
the
rental
relocation
assistance
program
just
at
a
very
high
level.
It
takes
us
a
few
weeks
to
turn
around
things,
but
I
would
like
to
explain
the
timeline
so
just
out
of
context.
That
just
seems
like
a
long
time
I.
K
My
team
did
work
with
the
Bellas
residents
directly
and
we
engaged
with
council
member
Ellison
and
made
sure
that
they
receive
the
funds
necessary
so
that
they
can
find
permanent
housing
alternative
housing
after
they
were
displaced
from
Bell
Lofts,
but
I
would
love
to
come
back
with
a
lot
more
information
than
just
that,
and
it
is
one
of
our
rental
protection
ordinances.
That
again,
my
team
manages
directly
and
so
I
would
be
your
contact
for
that
as
well.
G
Awesome
yeah
definitely
look
forward
to
working
with
you
to
get
more
information
around
that
for
our
offices
for
our
attendance
to
know
that
this
is
a
resource
for
them,
and
you
know
as
legislative
policy
makers
too.
If
there's
any
ways
we
can
continue
supporting
that
program,
so
no
one
else
has
to
fall
into.
You
know
the
same
situation
that
tenants
of
their
loss
are
having
to
endure.
No
one
should
have
to
endure
what
they're
going
through
so
any
way
we
can
prevent
that
and
support
initiatives
like
that
I
think
is
great.
L
Thank
you,
madam
vice
president.
Thank
you
Jessica.
You
know
I
adore
you.
You
are
one
of
the
most
brilliant
people
here,
I,
don't
have
a
question
I'm
just
praising
you,
because
you
do
such
a
great
job,
in
particular
on
the
North
side.
My
the
ward
14
text
me
and
said
tell
her
how
wonderful
she
is.
You've,
helped
us
so
much
in
word
for
it
with
problem
properties
and
getting
a
handle
on
a
lot
of
patterns
that
landlords
have
in
North,
Minneapolis,
good
ones
and
bad
ones.
L
So
we
appreciate
you
so
much
and
again,
I
just
wanted
to
take
the
opportunity
to
thank
you
and
to
tell
you
that
we've
learned
so
much
from
you.
We
adore
you.
We
love
working
with
you
and
we
can't
meet.
We
can't
wait
to
meet
with
you
again
to
learn
more
about
what's
happening
in
our
city,
around
landlords
and
holding
them
accountable.
So
thank
you.
Thank
you.
So.
N
Thank
you,
ma'am
chair,
thank
you,
Miss
storm
for
coming
today.
Has
this
has
been
a
great
presentation?
Could
you,
though,
go
over?
We
have
so
many
corporate
rentals
say
in
North
Minneapolis
to
to
piggyback
on.
My
two
council
members
here
are
north
of
Hennepin
Avenue
caucus
a
house
is
in
disrepair.
How
does
that
affect
the
other,
100
or
200
properties
that
that
corporation
owns.
K
Thank
you
for
the
question:
councilmember
rain
Bell.
So
the
way
that
our
point
system
is
weighted,
certain
things
carry
more
weight
than
others.
So,
for
example,
if
you
have
a
revocation
on
the
property
that
is
more
severe
than
if
you
receive
one
citation
at
the
property,
so
we
do
really
look
at
that
weight
value.
K
If
you
have
one
property
that
just
has
constant
issues
that
does
show
us
that
we
probably
get
to
look
in
but,
for
example,
if
a
corporate
entity
has
200
properties
and
we
see
one,
we
do
recommend
that
people
call
into
three
on
one
so
that
we
can
get
those
data
points
in,
and
we
do
some
reach
out
to
do
that.
So
we
can
get
those
data
points
in
to
see
if
there's
any
issues
and
any
other
properties.
K
Usually
if
it's
a
pattern
showing
up,
we
need
to
confirm
that
pattern
and
we
do
put
resources
toward
inspections
to
make
sure
that
we
can
get
into
properties
and
see
if
we
can
confirm
some
of
the
violations
occurring
and
one
happening
in
others.
So
we
do
a
sampling,
usually
of
a
few
properties
first
to
see
if
we
actually
have
confirmed
violations
and
then
after
that,
with
engaging
with
the
property
owner,
then
we
move
on
to
potentially
doing
a
portfolio-wide
inspection
to
be
able
to
rectify
any
open
violations.
N
So
you
feel
that
this
gives
you
a
stronger
hand
than
to
deal
with
more
corporate
problem
properties.
K
I'll
say
that
it
will
making
it
we're
trying
to
strengthen
it
up
every
time
that
we
used
to
try
a
program
and
try
a
tool,
and
this
again
is
a
relaunch
just
because
we
have
limitations
on
how
we
track
things.
It
becomes
very
tricky
with
different
LLCs
and
companies
coming
in
to
try
and
like
tie
everyone
together,
but
I
will
say
it
I'm,
very
confident
that
we
can
do
a
lot
of
great
work
with
enforcement
using
this
tool
I.
Just
we
just
relaunched
it.
K
So
I
want
to
be
a
little
more
conservative
and
let's
try
it
first
and
then
I'd
be
happy
to
give
you
an
update
on
how
how
strong
the
program
is.
After
we
try
it.
I
Thank
you,
madam
vice
president,
and
thank
you
Jessica
and
though
my
office
has
not
had
the
opportunity
to
work
with
you
at
least
I
personally
haven't
I
am
sure
I
agree
with
council
members
of
b-town
Ellison
of
your
great
service
to
our
community
I'm
curious
about
the
tenant
relocation
program.
I
would
imagine
that
there
has
to
be
some
criteria
for
accessing
that
program.
I
K
Thank
you,
council
president
Jenkins
you're
correct,
so
it
doesn't
let
an
ordinance
what
the
criteria
is,
one
being
a
condemnation
of
the
property
for
lack
of
Maintenance
and
that's
attributable
to
the
lack
of
maintenance
on
the
property
owner,
so
maybe
not
coming
in
and
fixing
things
the
property
being
in
such
a
disrepair
that
displacement
occurs,
then
renters
would
be
eligible
for
under
relocation
assistance.
Others
are
revocation,
so
we
use
revocation
as
that
last
resort
tool
again
to
avoid
displacement,
but
after
maybe
various
tries
or
various
tools
being
used.
K
If,
if
it
continues
to
be
an
unsafe
environment
for
renters,
we
will
revoke
a
rental
license,
then
we
can
also
use
rental
relocation
assistance,
the
third
being
if
renters
are
being
rented
unlawful,
occupancy
situation.
So,
for
example,
the
most
common
one
that
we
get
is
maybe
a
basement
unit
that
doesn't
have
proper
egress.
It's
unsafe
for
fire
safety
reason,
students
and
we
have
to
displace,
because
it
is
an
it's,
not
a
unit.
People
can
live
in
then
we
also
do
enter
relocation
assistance.
For
those
reasons.
K
For
those
three
there
might
be
a
fourth,
but
that's
with
Advance
owners
of
sale
and
the
others
are
our
criteria.
Oh.
K
We
assess
the
property
owner
and
then
we
also
have
an
administrative,
fine
of
500
a
unit
for
the
impacted
units.
So
that's
how
we
get
the
money
back.
So
I
can
explain
a
little
bit
about
the
it's,
a
hundred
thousand
dollar
fund
that
we
have
at
the
one-time
fund.
It's
not
revolving,
so
we
have
to
assess
it.
So
we
can
get
money
back
into
the
fund
to
be
able
to
again
help
other
families.
O
Thank
you,
madam
president,
thank
you
for
your
presentation
yeah.
So
many
violations
go
unnoticed
for
the
City
of
Minneapolis
money,
landlords
and
money
buildings,
Violet
people's
civil
rights
because
of
their
lack
of
knowledge,
I
guess
the
res.
The
residents
are
not
aware
of
what
kind
of
protection
they
have
and
City
practice
and
the
way
they
do
things
is
based
on
reports.
They
get
from
311
or
they
get
from
a
residents
reaching
out
to
the
city.
Is
there
a
way
that
annual
check
list
that
you
have
you
go
by?
O
You
know
a
visit
a
is
there
a
way
that
you
go
visit
and
see
what's
going
on
with
those
apartments?
And
my
next
question
I'll
just
add
about
the
questions
I
have.
My
next
question
is
that
I
have
money
residents
who
are
not
able
to
use
311
who
are
not
able
to
reach
out
to
to
you
or
to
the
city
regulatory
service
department
they
reach
out
to
our
office.
Our
is
your
staff
willing
to
work
with
my
office
to
go
where
people
live
and
listen
to
their
concerns.
O
O
I
think
that
the
way
we
enforce
our
laws
are
based
on
complained
by
the
residents.
But
there
are
some
many
residents
who
are
afraid
to
speak
out
because
of
the
retaliation
of
the
management.
K
Thank
you
for
your
questions,
councilmember
Osman.
So
to
answer
your
first
question
about
maybe
a
more
annual
inspection
occurring
at
rental
properties.
We
do
have
our
rental
licensing
inspections
that
happen
on
a
tiered
basis.
K
So,
yes,
we
do
go
out
before
that
schedule.
If
there
is
a
complaint,
we
are
working
as
I
mentioned
very
briefly
in
the
presentation
on
a
bunch
of
protections
campaign
that
would
be
able
to
notify
all
Renters
of
what
what
their
rights
are.
What
protections
that
the
city
has
available
for
them,
there's
quite
a
bit
that
we're
doing
and
putting
a
lot
of
arpa
funding
toward
having
it
in
different
languages
and
just
really
talking
through.
We
do
have
a
retaliation
ordinance.
K
We
have
housing
Liaisons
that
go
out
to
the
property
and
actually
talk
to
renters
and
talk
through
what
resources
they
need.
What's
going
on
at
the
property
and
they're,
not
enforcement
based
at
all,
so
I
would
like
to
highlight
the
housing
liaison
team
and
I'm
sure
that
they
will
come
to
one
of
these
presentations
as
well
to
talk
about
the
work
that
they
do,
but
knowing
that,
even
as
an
enforcement
Arm
coming
into
someone's
home,
that
is
also
can
cost
fear.
K
Because
some
of
the
times
we
may
see
a
violation
that
we
for
life
safety
reasons
we
need
to
address
and
just
that
that's
a
reality
of
some
of
the
enforcement.
So,
being
very
aware
of
that,
this
team
comes
in
and
really
talks
through.
What
is
that
neighborhood?
What
kind
of
neighborhood
actually
provide
for
your
resources?
What
can
the
city
provide
for
you
and
resources?
How
do
we
move
forward
and
making
sure
that
we
can
resolve
these
violations
even
talking
through?
K
Do
you
feel
comfortable
calling
3-1-1
like
how
can
we
help
you,
and
so
that
isn't
my
team
specifically,
but
I
do
work
closely
with
that
team,
knowing
that
renters
do
have
like
the
the
fear
of
retaliation
when
we
come
out
to
properties.
O
Thank
you.
I
would
like
to
work
with
you
or
that
team
to
really
give
opportunities
for
this
Community.
They
feel
comfortable
when
they're
talking
to
you
or
when
they're
talking
to
me
and
going
to
where
they
live
and
listening
to
them
is
a
way
to
address
this
issue,
because
it
will
be
very
challenging
for
them
to
pick
up
the
phone
and
call
311
because
of
so
many
barriers.
Thank
you,
yeah.
G
Thank
you,
Council.
Vice
president
I
just
had
a
follow-up
question
in
terms
of
you
mentioned,
you
know
what
the
relaunch
of
the
program
you
had
about.
Is
it
12
or
20?
G
You
know
properties
that
you're
kind
of
assessing
right
now.
I
can't
remember
the
figure,
but
you
can
address
that.
Secondly,
but
I
just
kind
of
want
to
know
the
ratio
of
of
what
you're,
seeing
in
Council
member
rainville's
question
kind
of
like
raised
this
in
terms
of
you
know
how
how
many
corporate
landlords
are
you
seeing
in
you
know,
contrast
to
smaller
landlords
that
are
being
kind
of
pulled
into
this
program.
K
G
You
awesome
and
then
my
next
question,
just
thinking
of
situation
when
Bell
lost
to
and
knowing
that,
while
we're
dealing
with
property
owners
that
might
be
creating,
you
know,
distinct
entities
through
llc's
to
accumulate
more
housing
properties.
Sometimes
they
play
this
door
role
of
also
holding
commercial
properties.
Like
from
my
understanding,
there's
going
to
be
considerations
of
you
know,
liquor
licenses
for
other
properties
that
they
own.
G
Do
you
also
kind
of
weigh
those
things
in
tandem
when
considering
other
licenses
licenses
that
you
know
housing,
Property
Owners,
who
are
in
this
program,
if
they're
seeking
out
additional
licenses
from
the
city
and
kind
of
weighing
all
that
together
and
approving
or
denying
licenses.
K
As
right
now,
we
don't
just
because
it's
not
within
our
scope
of
enforcement,
I
think
there
would
be
more
of
like
a
business
licensing
and.
J
K
Know
they
also
have
a
conditioned
agreement
that
they
can
put
on
those
license
holders.
But
yes,
right
now,
we
don't
do
that.
Okay,.
A
Thank
you,
I
put
myself
in
queue
to
ask
if
our
health
department,
vis-a-vis
Patrick
Hanlon,
would
like
to
just
briefly
comment
on
the
green
zone.
Weatherization
dollars
that
we're
using
arpa
dollars
for
now.
Granted.
That's
about
rental
license
portfolio
owners,
the
good
players,
but
it
is,
it
does
fit
in
with
our
collaborative
work
with
portfolio
owners
and
I
just
wanted
to
give
Patrick
Hanlon
a
chance
to
to
speak
to
it
a
little
bit.
We
we
do,
approve
the
arpa
dollars
through
this
committee
and
I
understand.
P
It
yes
chair,
Paul,
massano,
council
members
for
both
I'd
say
with
the
arpa
funding,
both
for
the
weatherization
work
that
we
have
the
weatherization
dollars.
We've
been
holding
that
money
until
the
utility
programs
have
come
out
with
some
programs
that
are
beneficial
to
property
owners
who
have
low
income
renters
so
and
usually
an
energy
costs.
The
cost
of
energy
are
passed
on
to
the
tenants
and
so
we're
able
to
use
those
arpa
dollars
and
the
portfolio
programs.
P
The
tiered
programs
at
reg
Services
has
come
up
with,
and
the
portfolio
approach
is
really
helpful,
both
with
getting
those
weatherization
dollars
out
there
to
Property
Owners.
P
You
know,
maybe
that
are
not
in
the
Pro
the
problem
property
portfolios,
but
into
property
owners
that
can
put
some
money
into
their
properties
that
end
up
benefiting
low-income
renters.
It's
been
really
beneficial
to
get
those
dollars
lined
up
to
get
into
those
properties
and
as
well
with
the
lead
and
healthy
homes
program
to
be
doing
lead
remediation
work.
So
we're
really
excited
about
the
collaboration
between
the
health
department
and
reg
services
and
being
able
to
get
resources
out
into
programs
that
will
benefit
renters.
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
council
member
Ellison,.
M
Thank
you
so
much
Madam
vice
president
I
just
wanted
to
don't
necessarily
have
a
question,
but
definitely
wanted
to
highlight
just
how
exciting
this
work
is
coming
through
Direct
Services,
if
everything
can
feel
so
new
when
you're,
getting
like
a
briefing
in
Council
but
like
this
work
has
been
going
on
for
a
really
really
long
time
and
it's
been
really
difficult.
Work
to
figure
out
and
and
I.
Remember
my
first
year
in
office,
we
were
talking
about.
M
How
can
we
approach
this
work
from
a
portfolio
lens
right
like
that
was
happening
my
first
year
in
office,
and
now
here
is
the
work.
Here's
the
culmination
of
that
work
being
presented
to
us.
It's
really
exciting,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
talk
about
how
how
much
I
know
it's
been
difficult
to
make
this
a
reality
and
how
we've
gone
through
many
situations
where
we're
going
one
unit
at
a
time
or
we're.
You
know,
having
to
kind
of
figure
out.
M
You
know
which
of
these
portfolios
are
are
bad
one
unit
at
a
time
in
in
real
in
real
time
and
I.
Also,
just
wanted
to
just
I
wanted
to
name
that
this
approach,
for
my
from
a
lot
of
my
colleagues
who
are
newer,
is
a
relatively
young
approach
right
and
so
for
us
to
not
take
it
for
granted.
You
know
I've
mentioned
it
before
how
reg
Services
was
utilizing.
M
You
know,
I
might
misspeak
this
a
little
bit,
but
fines
and
fees
in
order
to
pay
for
people's
positions
in
order
to
pay
for
things
that
shouldn't
have
been
paid
for
that
way,
and
so
you
had
a
department
that,
had
you
know,
that's
resource
strapped.
That's
trying
to
correct
that,
and
and
you've
got
a
body
of
work,
that's
relatively
young,
and
so
those
skills
are
being
learned
in
real
time.
M
You
know
I
think
we
wrote
the
Renner
first
policy
in
2018
or
19.
I.
Think
that
the
relocation
policy
which
I
was
honored
to
be
able
to
author
but
really
came
out
of
reg
Services
as
a
as
a
product
of
the
render
first
policy
as
a
few
other
policies
as
well.
M
So
we're
talking
about
things
that
have
been
going
on,
that
we've
been
trying
to
slowly
perfect
and
get
better
yeah
since
2019
2020
just
a
couple
of
years
here,
and
so
it's
not
just
a
matter
of
a
department
figuring
out
their
that
resource
hole
that
that
resource
Gap
that
that
we
that
we
are
figuring
out.
But
it's
also
a
matter
of
of
of
time
in
in
perfecting
this
new
way
of
doing
things.
Last
thing
I'll
say
is
I.
M
Remember
when
we
were
authoring,
the
man
former
council,
president
Bender
we're
authoring
the
runner
first
policy
and
we
went
and
spoke
to
some
of
the
folks
in
the
department,
and
there
was
one
person
in
reg
that
said:
look
we've
gotten
things
done
by
being
a
hammer
right.
We
haven't
gotten
things
done
by
listening
to
tenants,
considering
what
the
consequences
are.
M
If
we
condemn
a
property
or
revoke
a
license,
we've
gotten
things
done
by
just
being
a
hammer,
and
if
you
want
us
to
change
how
we
do
that,
that
means
that
we're
going
to
have
to
be
well
resourced
and
and
prepared
to
make
those
changes,
and
so
you
know
at
the
time
I
was
a
little
bit.
It
was
a
little
bit
daunting
as
a
new
council
member
thinking.
M
Maybe
change
is
going
to
be
a
little
too
hard,
but
but
here
we
are
and
here's
the
culmination
of
it
and
I
do
think
that
we're
taking
a
more
runner-centric
anti-displacement
approach
to
rec
Services
it'll,
take
some
time
for
folks
for
the
community
to
adjust.
I
know
it's
taken
some
time
for
reg
services
to
adjust,
but
I
couldn't
be
proud
of
the
work,
and
so
just
want
to.
Thank
you.
I
want
to
thank
leadership
and
reg
Services
and
obviously
the
health
department
for
their
collaboration.
So
that's
all.
A
You
and
thank
you,
councilmember,
Ellis
and
I
did
mean
to
cue
this
up
with
gratitude
to
you
on
the
work
that
you've
done
with
tenant
protections.
You
know
this
is
coming
back
in
a
new
way
and
we're
able
to
look
at
these
in
a
different
way
and
look
at
the
different
look
at
more
things
to
try
and
string
these
problem
Property
Owners
together,
but
this
work
really
did
start
with
that
tenant
protections
body
of
work
that
you
that
you
did
I
guess
several
years
ago
now
it
comes
to
president
Jenkins.
I
Yeah,
thank
you,
madam
vice
president
and
I
I,
just
wanted
to
Echo
your
comments
and
councilmember
Ellison
and
I.
Both
were
on
an
anti-displacement
National
anti-displacement
team
in
2018
and
then
in
2019.
We
brought
forth
these
tenant
protections
and
it,
and
it
really
is
good
to
see
this
work
coming
to
fruition
and
and
figuring
out
ways
that
we
can
improve,
but
I,
but
I
did
want
to
just
really
acknowledge
councilmember,
Allison
and
and
thank
him
for
his
his
diligence
and
just
dog.
I
It
work
on
really
trying
to
help
protect
tenants
in
our
city.
As
we
know,
we
are
a
majority
winter
City
and
trying
to
trying
to
create
that
balance
of
renters
and
and
Property
Owners.
So
thank
you
once
again.
Councilmember
Ellison.
A

thank
you
to
our
alternative
