With
current
city

B
Thank

My
name
is
Yolanda
e
Maya
m-a-y-a
I
live
in
the
Lauren
Park
area,
a
410,
Groveland,
Avenue,
I'm,
not
sure
at
this
time,
I
apologize.
What
my
question
that
I
want
to
pose
I
have
gotten
some
information
that
was
sent
to
my
home
and
I.
Understand
today
is
the
proposal
for
the
this
amount
that
appears
on
the
on
the
sheet
on
the
proposal
is
today
the
day
that
the
board
is
going
to
decide
or
approve
on
this
proposal.
B
That's
a
yes
or
no
question.
Secondly,
I
didn't
I
was
trying
to
listen
to
the
gentleman
speak,
but
I
wasn't
sure
if
he
is
the
like
contractor
or
the
representative,
who
is
going
to
be
in
charge
or
that's
presenting
to
you
of
the
work
for
the
lighting.
B
A
Guess
I
do
perfect.
Thank
you
so
much.
We
appreciate
you
showing
up
to
speak
and
if
there
is
no
one
else
here
to
speak,
what
we
would
normally
do.
We
don't
do
kind
of
the
back
and
forth
with
questions.
This
is
an
opportunity
to
speak
to
us,
but
then,
after
we
close,
the
public
hearing
I'll
ask
staff
to
address
any
of
those
kind
of
high-level
points,
around
assessments
and
communication
in
the
project.
So
if
you
could,
please
see
the
clerk
and
I
it
looks
like
we
might
have
one
more
individual
here
to
speak.
A
So
thank
you
very
much.
Please
come
on
up
and
introduce
yourself.
F
Hello,
my
name
is
Kevin
Holm
and
I
live
in
the
510
Groveland
building
I
apologize
I
wasn't
able
to
attend
the
question
and
answer
session.
I
wasn't
notified
or
didn't
get
the
notice
on
that.
But
my
question
would
be:
are
the
the
lighting
units
going
to
be
of
a
similar
style
as
to
what
is
currently
there?
F
The
tax
is
going
to
be
assessed
is
based
on
a
formula
that
I
that
I
didn't
quite
understand
and
I
think
it
seems
to
be
a
pretty
large
map
that
I
was
seeing
of
and
I'm,
not
sure
of
the
number
of
lights
that
are
being
replaced,
but
I
think
we're
a
pretty
small
portion
of
that
map
and
so
I,
just
like
some
assurance
that
the
assessment
is
Justified
for
for
what
we're
receiving
at
our
location.
A
Excellent,
thank
you
is
anyone
else
here
interested
in
speaking
on
this
item,
anyone
else
not
seeing
any
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
close
the
public
hearing
and
move
this
item
before
us,
so
that
we
can
discuss
this
item
and
then
I'd
like
to
invite
Mr
Lauren
up.
A
If
you're
able
to
speak
to
I
know
we
had
some
questions
during
the
public
hearing
around
both
how
assessments
are
applied
or
if
there's
at
least
maybe
somebody
here
that
can
speak
with
them
individually
about
perhaps
their
assessments
or,
if
you
have
some
idea
around
when
that
information
would
be
out
and
then
I
can
share
that.
Certainly
this
is
a
motion
to
proceed
with
the
work
and
to
adopt
the
special
assessments
across
the
project
and
then
I
know,
there's
also
a
question
around
style
as
well
of
lights.
E
Thank
you,
Jerry
Johnson,
for
those
questions,
so
the
style,
the
style
of
the
light
will
be
similar
aesthetically
to
what
is
existing
today,
except
for
its
incorporates
newer
technology,
LED
technology
that
faces
downwards,
so
it's
friendly
to
dark
sky
compliance
concerns
there.
The
assessment
notification
for
the
parcels
within
this
project
area
were
mailed
to
each
property.
We
can
talk
to
individual
Property
Owners
if
they
think
that
they
didn't
get
it.
E
E
They
can
connect
with
me.
I
will
be
project
manager
on
this
project
through
All
Phases,
so
communication,
Outreach
project
information,
neighborhood
Outreach,
the
bidding
process
when
the
contractor
is
on
board
I'll,
be
working
with
the
contractor
throughout
the
process.
So
if
there's
field
issues
or
field
concerns,
people
can
reach
out
to
me
directly
by
my
phone
or
email,
which
is
listed
on
the
project
website.
We
do
have
a
project
website
which
is
active
with
the
project
map.
A
All
right,
thank
you
very
much
for
answering
those
and
for
residents
that
are
here
as
well.
I,
don't
know
if
you
have
any
additional
presentations
coming
up,
I
I'm
guessing
this
is
probably
the
only
one
Mr
Lauren.
Is
that
correct
this.
E
Is
all
that's
currently
scheduled,
but
if
we
feel
the
need
that
it
would
be
helpful
to
the
neighborhoods,
we
can
schedule
for
their
meetings.
Thank.
A
You
and
I
meant
more
so
today
as
well,
so
that
if
they
have
any
questions,
they
can
connect
with
you
after
this
item
on
an
agenda
perfect,
thank
you
and
I
see
we
have
a
question
or
a
comment
from
council
member
wansley.
C
Thank
you,
chair,
Johnson.
Actually,
speaking
on
that,
I'm
really
excited
to
hear
that
we
will
be
having
more
regular
lighting
updates.
I
think
we
all
know.
This
is
a
big
issue
for
many
of
our
residents.
So
much
so
even
council
member
Vita
here
chartered
get
lit
campaign.
So
I
think,
like
that's
recognition
that
this
is
so
important
to
our
constituents.
C
So
looking
forward
to
hear
how
you
know
that
5.5
million
dollars
and
some
of
the
Opera
dollar
swords
lighting
replacement,
how
that's
going
to
be
allocated
over
the
next
two
years
towards
our
you
know
specific
Geographic
parts
of
our
Wards
in
regards
to
the
the
lighting
piece
in
front
of
us
today.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
I'm
reading
the
fiscal
note
right.
C
So
the
special
assessment,
that's
the
part
that
you
know
homeowners
in
the
specific
specific
region,
they're
going
to
be
kicking
in
the
pi
tax
levy
and
fund
zero
for
100.
Is
that
the
part
that
we're
contributing
thinking
of
like
those
budget
allocations
that
I'm,
seeing
like
the
3.7
million
dollars,
so
I
want
to
make
sure
I'm
meeting
reading
this
right.
E
E
E
The
total
amount
is
listed
on
the
the
project
designation,
but
it's
not
3.7.
Oh.
C
E
4.5
is
the
total
amount
budgeted
for
this
year,
but
that
does
include
other
work.
Besides,
just
this
project.
C
D
Yes,
yes,
director,
so
Mr,
chair
and
councilman
wansley
and
members,
I'm
gonna
help
refresh
everyone's
memory.
This
is
one
of
the
seven
areas
in
the
city
that
has
failed
system
lights,
and
so
this
is
directly
as
a
result
of
the
work
that
you
all
did
and
that
the
mayor
did
last
year
to
provide
more
money
in
particularly
for
these
failed
systems,
and
with
that
we
also
have
gone
through
a
process.
D
To
help
us
understand
better,
particularly
I
would
say
that
the
the
Stephen
Square
Loring
Heights
neighborhood
Stephen
square,
there's
Ward
six
part
of
that
on
Ward,
seven
part
of
that
that
area
in
particular
had
had
under
our
old
lighting
policy.
They
had
attempted
to
do
the
full
100
assessment
policy
and
that
did
not
work.
They
only
had
I
think
less
than
10
percent
of
residents
return.
The
communication
about
that,
and
so
we've
gone
through
a
process
to
help
understand
how
the
city
can
be
more
supportive
of
these
lighting
projects.
D
So
that's
why
that
money
is
so
helpful
that
it
is
helping
to
fray
that
assessment
cost,
and
it
also
is
helping
us
move
forward.
I
just
want
to
also
say
that
the
MS
Maya
who
spoke
wondered.
Who
is
this
man?
You
know
what
is
who's
he
work
for.
He
works
for
the
city,
so
he
will
be
working
directly
with
the
contractor
when
we
have
a
contractor.
In
some
cases
the
City
of
Minneapolis
does
some
of
this
work
ourselves.
D
In
other
cases,
depending
on
our
workload,
we
do
have
a
contractor
and
there
certainly,
when
we're
done
with
this
section,
you
can
step
out
and
get
his
phone
number
and
email
to
stay
in
touch
with
him
and
I
think
the
assessment
piece
was
very
accurately
described.
I
want
to
be
really
clear
that
the
assessment
formula
is
not
that
residents
who
got
the
assessment
are
paying
for
this
entire
huge
area.
There
is
a
way
and
Mr
handeland
who's
here.
Will
you
raise
your
hand?
D
Jeff
can
also
explain
that
to
you
that
it
is
very
much
based
on
what
is
attributed
to
your
property
having
the
enhancement.
So
it's
not
that
you're
paying
for
the
part
over
by
Lorraine
Heights
in
your
assessment
and
as
you
can
see,
assessments
are
paying
for
25
percent
of
this
project.
The
city
is
paying
for
75
percent
of
this
project.
A
Thank
you
director,
perfect,
thank
you.
Mr
Lauren,
council
member
Vita.
G
Thank
you,
chair,
Johnson
I,
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you
to
Mr
Lauren.
He
is
so
Delight.
You
are
so
delightful
to
work
with
I
thought:
I
love
street
lights.
You
love
them
way
more
than
I
do
and
you
know
where
they
all
you've
taught
me
in
my
office.
So
much
over
the
last
year
about
street
lights.
We,
you
know,
we
thought
we
had
it
all
together
with
our
get
lit,
talk
and
everything,
but
you
really,
you
know,
educated
us
so
much
so.
G
A
Yes,
thank
you
any
additional
comments
or
questions
not
seeing
any.
Then
all
those
in
approval
of
this
item
please
signify
by
saying
I
I,
those
opposed,
say,
nay.
The
motion
carries
and
that
item
will
be
forwarded
onto
the
full
Council,
thank
you
and
for
the
members
of
the
public.
If
you
want
to
connect
up
out
after
this
with
Mr
Lauren
I
think
they
will
be,
our
staff
will
be
stepping
out,
so
you'll
have
an
opportunity
to
do
that.
A
Next,
we'll
move
on
to
our
discussion
items
and
our
first
item
up
today
is
the
obstruction
permit
fees
update
director,
Anderson
Kelleher,
who
will
be
presenting
on
this
item.
D
A
Thank
you,
director,
welcome,
Mr
freed
and
before
you
begin
maybe
for
committee
members
I
think
there
might
be
a
handful
of
questions
on
this
item
as
well,
and
so
I
would
ask
that
we
go
through
the
presentation
first
and
save
questions
until
the
end,
and
then
please
ask
away
if
that
sounds
good
and
then
are
you?
H
Thank
you,
chair
Johnson
and
committee
members
here
today
to
present
on
some
proposed
updates
to
our
lane
use
fees
that
are
incurred
with
obstruction
permits
that
that
folks
obtained
so
I
want
to
start
out
by
saying
you
know
what
is
an
obstruction
permit?
An
obstruction
permit
is
required
when
someone
wants
to
block
some
portion
of
the
public
right-of-way
for
their
private
use.
So
some
examples
of
this
are
a
utility
called
center
point
energy
or
Excel
Energy.
H
If
they
need
to
do
some
work
in
the
public
right-of-way,
they
need
an
obstruction
permit
in
order
to
block
off
that
space
to
do
their
work.
Another
example
would
be
a
Housing
Development
if
they
need
some
space
next
to
their
development,
for
construction,
staging
or
material
storage.
Things
like
that,
they
need
to
take
some
sidewalk
or
a
parking
Lane.
They
need
an
obstruction
permit
to
do
that.
We
all
we
also
issue
them
for
a
lot
of
events.
H
For
instance,
when
the
Vikings
have
a
game,
they
need
an
obstruction
permit
to
block
off
streets
for
their
traffic
management
land
or
if
someone
is
moving,
and
they
need
to
hood
a
couple
of
parking
meters
for
a
moving
truck,
they
would
need
an
obstruction
permit
to
that
to
do
that
so
with
obstruction
permits,
some
of
them
also
incur
Lane
use
fees,
and
so,
if
there's
some
sort
of
extended
closure
of
a
lane,
a
sidewalk
parking
Lane
a
bike
lane
a
moving
Lane.
We
then
start
calculating
Lane
use
fees
that
apply
to
this
obstruction.
H
Permit
they're
a
per
linear
foot
is
how
we
calculate
those
fees.
The
obstruction
permit
program,
as
it
is
today,
was
established
back
in
1997
into
city
ordinance.
Initially,
there
was
not
Lane
use
fees
that
were
incurred
as
part
of
obstruction
permits.
The
lane
use
fees
came
a
couple
years
later
in
2001..
The
whole
point
of
the
lane
use
fees
is
to
help
limit
the
impact
to
the
public
right-of-way,
and
it
helps
cover
the
cost
of
managing
the
the
staff
for
the
program.
H
H
In
20
2001,
when
the
fees
were
initially
established,
there
was
two
different
tiers
of
T
of
fees.
The
first
tier,
the
most
elevated
tier,
was
in
downtown,
so
any
streets,
sidewalks
things
like
that
that
were
blocked
off
in
downtown,
had
a
higher
rate
than
outside
of
downtown.
The
major
arterial
streets
had
a
slightly
lower
set
of
fees
like
a
sub-tier
fees
and
that's
what
was
in
place
again
from
2001
to
2021.
H
H
So
the
basis
for
this
fee,
as
established
in
city
ordinance,
is
that
it
is
to
help
cover
the
manage
the
cost
for
management
of
the
program.
So
the
staff
time
we
have
a
staff
of
five
team
members
that
that
manage
our
obstruction
permit
program.
We
also
have
a
permitting
system.
I
mean
electronic,
permitting
system
that
has
a
mapping
tool
capability,
so
the
cost
the
fees
help
cover
the
city's
cost.
H
So
when,
when
we
decided
to
when
we
went
through
the
process
of
updating
the
fees
evaluating
them
and
updating
them,
we
took
into
effect
essentially
two
major
considerations.
First
was
inflation:
after
20
years
there
was
a
lot
of
inflation
that
took
place
between
2001
and
2021,
and
so
that
amounted
to
around
a
50
increase
per
just
the
index
of
inflation
over
that
time.
But
we
also
especially
through
the
passage
of
the
transportation
action
plan.
There
was
a
specific
item
that
called
for
updating
the
lane
use
fees
to
better
reflect
the
city's
modal
priorities.
H
A
lot
has
changed
in
20
years.
It
used
to
be
all
about
moving
cars
as
quickly
as
possible
in
and
out
of
downtown
right.
But
now,
as
we
have
come
to
prioritize
vulnerable,
Road
users,
pedestrians
and
cyclists,
more,
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
impacts
to
those
types
of
travel
were
priced,
at
least
as
high,
if
not
higher
than
the
the
impacts
to
motor
vehicles
and
really
the
the
one
of
the
overall
goals
of
Lane
use
fees
is
to
help
incentivize
contractor
Behavior
the
it's
primarily
contractors
that
are
incurring
these
Lane
use
fees.
H
So
we
want
them
to
a.
You
know,
reduce
the
amount
of
right-of-way
that
they
use
generally
speaking,
be
when
they
do
need
to
use
right-of-way.
We
want
them
to
prioritize
to
make
sure
that
they
a
lot
for
the
vulnerable
Road
users
and
three.
We
want
to
limit
the
overall
duration
of
the
use
and
so
to
to
backtrack
one
point
to
the
the
mode
that
they
use.
H
One
of
the
things
that
often
happens
when
there's
a
project
is
if
they
need,
if
a
contractor,
for
instance,
with
a
Housing
Development
needs
to
take
some
sidewalk
space,
and
maybe
the
the
first
Lane
next
to
a
curb
for
some
access
to
their
site
and
construction
staging.
We
do
not
charge
them.
Lane
use
fees
for
the
sidewalk
as
long
as
they
get
out
some
Jersey
barriers
and
make
a
pedestrian
walkway
next
to
their
site.
H
At
that
point
they
incur
Lane
use
fees
for
the
moving
Lane,
that
they're
blocking
or
the
parking
Lane
that
they're
blocking
and
not
for
the
sidewalk
itself,
and
so
that's
why
we
wanted
to
be
kind
of
flipped
it
on
its
head,
where
we
wanted
to
make
it
more
costly
for
The,
Pedestrian
and
cyclist
Lanes
than
for
the
moving
Lanes.
H
So
this
is
a
fee
review
of
what
we
did
between
2021
and
2022.
So
if
you
want
to
look
at
the
downtown,
you
can
see
in
the
moving
Lanes.
Previously
it
was
one
dollar
per
foot
per
day.
This
is
all
these
are
listed
in
linear
feet
per
day
and
then
reflecting
the
the
cost
of
inflation.
It
went
to
a
dollar
fifty
per
foot
per
day
in
moving
Lanes,
so
it
roughly
accounted
for
inflation.
H
But
then,
if
you
go
down
and
look
at
the
sidewalk
and
bike
Lanes,
the
sidewalk
went
from
25
cents
per
foot
per
day
to
175
per
foot
per
day,
which
is
a
seven
times
increase
right,
and
so
that
was
how
we
were.
We
wanted
to
represent
our
our
goals
around
modal
priorities,
with
the
way
that
we
priced
this
now
it
was
not
the
intent
of
the
city
to
make
seven
times
more
Revenue
off
of
this
program.
H
The
intent
of
the
city
in
doing
that
was
to
limit
con
contractors,
use
and
disruption
of
sidewalks
and
bike
lanes,
and
so
that
is
kind
of
that's
how
we
set
the
the
fee
increases
for
that
went
into
effect
in
2022..
H
Now,
once
we
came
to
the
end
of
2022
a
full
year
of
this
new
pricing
structure
being
in
place,
we
looked
at
what
actually
happened
then,
and
when
we,
what
we
did
is
we
took
all
of
the
the
permit
footage,
the
the
total
amount
of
permits
collectively
in
the
city.
We
looked
at
that
and
we
made
we
applied
the
2021
rates
to
what
happened
in
2022,
and
we
made
250
percent
more
money
based
off
of
the
2022
rates
than
we
did
off
of
the
than
we
would
have
after
the
2021
rates.
H
Our
goal
roughly
was
somewhere
between
75
percent
and
100
percent
increase.
That
was
to
account
for
inflation
and
the
adjustment
of
the
modal
priorities,
but
we
made
250
percent
that's
3.5
times
more
money
than
we
would
have
under
the
old
fee
structure,
and
so
we
said
we
kind
of
have
a
problem
here.
This
is
way
more
than
we
anticipated
to
happen.
We've
talked
to
some
of
the
contractors
who
to
have
these
permits
and
and
what
we've
discovered
is
there
was
kind
of
a
compounding
fee
Factor
here
the
contractors
as
much
as
they
could.
H
They
were
limiting
their
use
of
sidewalks.
They
were
limiting
their
use
of
bike
Lanes,
but
there
was
only
so
much
adjustments
that
they
could
actually
make
and
so
yeah
we,
we
overshot
our
estimate
in
in
the
overall
fee
values
so
to
get
to
what
we're
actually
proposing
for
the
lane
use
fees
we
really
wanted
to
continue
to
to.
We
essentially
wanted
to
double
down
on
our
modal
priorities.
H
We
wanted
to
correct
the
overall
fee
fees
that
we
will
be
collecting
from
contractors
to
be
much
closer
to
that
75
to
100
percent
increase
versus
the
2001
to
2021
rates,
but
we
wanted
to
make
sure
we
express
our
modal
priority
values.
So
what
we're
proposing
is
to
actually
further
accentuate
the
difference
between
the
cost
for
a
moving
Lane
that
is
used
often
to
replace
the
the
sidewalk
lane
or
to
go
around
a
development.
H
So
that's
that's
what
we're
proposing
when
we
apply
the
proposed
rates
here
to
what
happened
in
2022.
We
end
up
around
that
75
to
100
range.
That
was
the
original
intent
of
the
Laney
sphere,
update
that
we
did
in
2001.
D
So
Mr
chair
by
way
of
telling
you
about
this
situation
when
I
came
here
a
year
and
four
months
ago,
I
started
to
hear
concerns
about
this
and
honestly
I
sort
of
said:
we're
not
going
to
look
at
changing
this
at
all
in
the
fall
after
several
more
complaints
came
in
and
actually
the
threat
of
a
lawsuit,
because
the
state
statute
is
very
clear
about
collecting
a
fee
like
this,
that
the
city
can
collect
fees
like
this,
but
they
cannot
be
excessive
beyond
what
the
activity
is
for,
and
you
can
imagine
after
looking
back
at
the
RCA
that
was
presented
to
the
council
in
21
and
seen
what
was
told
to
the
council
was
that
the
net
would
be
about
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
per
year
over
what
had
been
collected
previously
and
that
this
would
shift
behavior.
D
That
was
the
goal.
The
goal
here
is
behavior
change,
not
Revenue,
maximization,
that
it
was
pretty
shocking
as
we
went
through
and
saw
what
was
happening
with
the
amount
of
fee
that
we
are
collecting
we're
suddenly
looking
at
in
one
year,
5.3
million
dollars
when
previously
I
think
our
highest
year
ever
collected
was
something
like
2.1
million
2.3
and
that
was
in
the
height
of
of
a
building
boom
before
covid
before
anything
else,
and
so
looking
at
this
250
percent
increase.
What
we
tried
to
do
here
is
get
back
to
what
we
said
in
21..
D
We
want
to
look
at
a
75
to
50
percent
increase,
which
breaks
down
about
50
percent
of
that
coming
in
inflation
and
50
of
it
coming
from
the
modal
priorities,
and
we
actually,
as
as
Mr
freed
said,
we
have
accentuated
the
modal
priorities.
We
really
do
not
want
contractors
in
the
bike
lane
or
in
the
walk
lane,
and-
and
we
are
serious
about
that-
we
will
work
with
anyone
to
try
to
help
them
get
their
plan.
D
A
Thank
you,
director,
I,
appreciate
that
context
and
thank
you.
Mr
freed,
and
you
know,
I
appreciate
the
the
presentation
and
it's
hard
to
talk
about
when
the
city
makes
a
mistake
on
an
analysis
and
trying
to
get
something
right
and
so,
but
I
think
it's
it's
good
that
you
know
this
has
been
flagged
and
brought
forward
and
that
we
have
it
before
us
for
discussion.
Thank
you.
Councilmember
wansley.
C
Thank
you,
chair,
Johnson
I
also
want
to
thank
you
free
for
the
presentations,
but
also
director,
Kell
Hurd.
You
know,
for
both
of
you
all
being
responsive
to
many
of
the
questions
that
my
office
has
had
in.
You
know.
Learning
about
these
proposed
changes
over
the
past
couple
days.
C
I
I
do
want
to
name.
You
know.
I
still
have
lots
of
concerns
and
follow-up
questions
about
this
and
would
love
the
opportunity
to
have
you
know
some
more
follow
up
with
our
staff
and
Leadership
around
these
changes
regarding
potential
realignment
on
these
fees.
I
also
want
to
name.
My
office
has
also
been
contacted
pretty
regularly
with
concerns
from
my
constituents
on
some
of
the
suggestions.
That's
being
brought
forward.
C
So
really
would
just
like
to
take
some
time
for
us
to.
You
know,
have
more
discussion
around
ways
we
can
realign
this
I
know.
Other
council
members
have
also
had
you
know
conversations
with
you
all
about
what's
being
proposed.
C
So
just
you
know
in
light
of
that,
and
also
you
know
not
foreseeing
the
lawsuit
happening
in
the
next
two
weeks,
I
would
like
to
propose
a
motion
for
us
to
delay
this.
Just
one
cycle
give
us
two
weeks
for
us
to
continue
those
conversations
so
that
all
of
us
can
feel
good
about
next
steps
and
being
able
to
report
that
back
to
our
constituents,
foreign.
A
Motion
from
councilmember
wansley
thank
you,
council
member
chugtai,.
A
I
Well,
I'll
start
by
seconding
the
motion,
so
that's
been
made
properly.
You
know
really
appreciate
this
presentation.
I
know,
I've
had
a
couple
of
examples
of
these.
These
Lane
use
rates
that
came
up
last
summer.
I
know
I
had
a
chance
to
meet
with
with
you
and
your
team
and
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
how
the
changes
to
the
lane
use
fees
were
made
back
in
2021.
I
So
you
know
appreciate
getting
a
little
bit
more
context
and
seeing
how
we're
trying
to
to
correct
an
error
but
agree
that
this
is
a
a
significant
one
thing
that
went
wrong
and
two
thing
that
we're
changing
and
I
would
appreciate
more
time
to
to
sit
with
this
and
and
ask
more
questions
and
make
sure
I
feel
really
good
about
how
this
is
going
to
impact
some
of
the
projects
in
in
my
word
or
how
it's
impacted
projects
in
the
past
and
and
how
the
the
effects
of
that
just
real,
quick,
a
clarifying
question.
I
So
in
slide
six,
if
we
could
go
back
one
real
quick
over
here
when
you're
breaking
down
the
the
different
modes
like
moving
Lane
bus
line,
parking,
Lane
sidewalk
I,
see
that
in
slide
seven
we're
missing
we're
missing
bus
lane.
Are
we
missing
another
one
and
I'm?
Can
you
just
explain
the
discrepancy
there.
A
E
J
Good
afternoon,
chair
members
of
the
committee,
Allen
Klugman,
director
of
traffic
and
Parking
Services,
councilmember
chucktown,
would
say
essentially
a
typo.
The
bus
lane
is
the
same
as
the
moving
Lane
for
cost
purposes
and
I
think
it
just
didn't
make
it
to
that
table.
I
Got
it
so?
What
what
you're
saying
right
is
this?
This
is
that
the
changes
that
are
reflected
in
slide
seven
are
supposed
to
be
built
to
re-prioritize
the
the
modal
shifts
we
want
to
make,
but
we
we
I,
see
that
accounted
for
in
the
revisions
to
sidewalks
and
bike
Lanes
as
compared
to
parking
lanes
and
moving
Lanes,
but.
J
So
a
chair
members
of
the
committee
that
you
raise
a
good
point
and
obviously
I
think
if
this
is
going
to
be
tabled.
Maybe
there'll
be
more
discussion
about
this
I'll
just
say
technically
in
the
2001
ordinance
language,
there
is
not
a
phrase
for
bustling,
and
so
for
the
the
years
this
has
been
an
effect
of
we've
interpreted.
Bustling
is
the
same
as
moving
Lane.
There
are
not
that
many
in
the
city-
they
don't
come
up
that
often
it's
something
we
can
look
into,
but
you
know
again
for
full
disclosure.
I
Got
it
okay,
that's
really
helpful,
I,
appreciate
it
and
then
have
we
thought
through
what
we're
going
to
do.
This
might
be
a
question
actually
better
directed
for
for
director
Anderson
Kelleher.
I
D
Thank
you
councilmember
chagtai
and
members
of
the
committee,
it's
a
very
fair
question
and
when
we
first
started
to
dive
in
on
the
deeper
analysis
on
this,
we
were
considering
whether
to
bring
to
you
both
this
change
and
something
that
would
account
for
the
roughly
will
be
about
18
months
of
fees
paid.
The
challenge
here
is
one
that
you
will
all
recognize
the
construction
firm
pays.
The
fee
applies
for
the
lane
use
application,
the
underlying
developer.
The
project
is
actually
folding
that
into
any
cost
of
their
project.
D
So
what
it
would
do
is
give
some
credits
going
forward
for
future
development
that
would
tie
to
the
Past
payment
and
that
that,
but
that's
complex
to
design
right
and
that's
why
we
need
to
work
with
Finance
on
that
we
need
to
work
with
cpet
on
that
we
need
to
work
with
the
city
attorney's
office
on
that
to
develop
it,
and
so
it
is
a
work
in
concept
right
now
we
do
plan
on
bringing
you
something
in
the
next.
You
know
few
months.
D
The
goal
here
was
to
bring
forward
the
fee
change
and
get
it
changed
as
we
go
into
a
very
busy
construction
season
with
a
lot
of
things
happening
out
there
and
to
try
for
those
who
have
not
applied
for
their
permit
anyone
who's
applied
for
their
permit
and
paid
the
fee
they
have
paid,
but
any
project
coming
forward.
A
new,
affordable
housing
project,
whatever
it
is,
they
would
then
be
under
this
new
structure.
D
So
it's
a
little
bit
of
the
of
a
two-step
project
process,
to
figure
out
how
to
give
that
credit
without
giving
a
windfall
to
a
construction
company,
but
actually
get
it
back
to
I.
Think
where
we
would
say,
the
underlying
issue
is
which
is
wanting
people
to
do
housing,
development
in
the
city
or
whatever
type
of
development
they're
doing.
D
Mr,
chair,
councilmember,
Chuck,
Dai,
I,
don't,
but
how
about
we
do
this
I
think
you
know
if
you,
if
you
do
delay
or
if
you
know
we'll
have
another
committee
meeting
here
on
the
18th
I
believe
we
can
come
up
with
a
better
timeline.
We've
really
been
focused
on
trying
to
get
this
before
all
of
you
and
we'll
have
a
timeline
on
development.
I
Got
it
and
then
I
understand
last
question
I
understand
that
that
this
this
was
something
that
was
supposed
to
generate
what
500,
000
worth
of
Revenue
ended
up
generating
north
of
five
million
dollars.
D
So
Mr
chair,
councilmember
chugtai
I,
am
not
the
CFO,
but
what
I
do
believe
this
is
a
fee
that
gets
paid
into
the
general
fund.
I
believe
there
is
probably
a
balance
on
that
general
fund
right
now,
so
you
know
I,
don't
because
it's
general
fund
money,
no
one
says
this.
One
particular
dollar
went
here
to
pay
for
whatever
else,
but
your
general
fund
balance
is
sufficient,
that
if
we
develop
this
credit
program,
that
can
account
for
it,
and
you
know
I
would
say
that
we,
we
unknowingly,
created
a
windfall
for
a
small.
D
You
know
smallish
amount
of
money
from
the
city's
point
of
view,
but
5.3
million
is
nothing
to
sniff
at
right,
and
so
we
created
in
the
compounding
effect
of
this
a
small
windfall
into
the
general
fund
right
now.
I
believe
that
can
be
handled
appropriately.
If
we
were
sitting
here
10
years
from
now,
and
we
had
discovered
what
had
happened
here,
that'd
be
a
much
harder
challenge
to
unwind
at
it.
Thank
you.
K
Thank
you,
chair,
Johnson
yeah.
This
is
this.
Discussion
has
definitely
highlighted
the
need,
I
think
to
delay
this
a
cycle
because
there's
some
complexity
here.
My
first
glance
at
this
as
I
was
you
know,
preparing
for
this
meeting
was:
why
would
we
make
this
adjustment
and
I
was
fairly
opposed
to
that?
K
But
getting
this
additional
context
is
very
helpful,
but
I
actually
usually
start
my
line
of
thinking
around
like
what's
the
outcome
that
we're
trying
to
accomplish,
because
I
actually
don't
care
about
fees,
I
care
about
the
outcome
that
we
want
and
the
fees
might
be,
the
way
that
we
get
there
so
from
that
perspective
and
I
also
share
a
border
with
councilmember
wanzi
and
also
have
heard
a
lot
about
the
types
of
challenges
around
obstruction
and
accessibility,
with
our
our
bike
and
pedestrian
infrastructure
and
I'm.
A
biker
myself
and
I've
experienced
those
obstructions
as
well.
K
I
wanted
to
revisit
a
point
you
made
about
the
Jersey
barriers
and
just
kind
of
get
a
clarification
on
this.
Because
again,
my
goal
is
for
us
to
have
accessible
pedestrian
bike
facilities
despite
construction
and
the
the
Border
we
share
is
on
Como
and
there's
a
lot
of
activity
over
by
the
University
of
Minnesota.
K
So
you
had
mentioned
that
in
the
past
there
wasn't
a
sidewalk
obstruction
line
item.
It
was
just
you
would
put
the
Jersey
barriers
to
create
a
pedestrian
path
and
it
would
be
treated
as
a
moving
Lane.
So
my
question
is:
with
this
new
sidewalk
bike
lane
fee.
L
Yeah,
so
so
that
there's
a
lot
of
different
things:
chair,
Johnson,
yes,
so
yeah,
there's.
H
Maybe
they'll
need
some
of
the
parking
Lane
as
well,
because
they
need
to
Stage
a
lot
of
material
as
they're
lifting
you
know,
steel
and
and
precast
concrete
and
whatever
onto
their
project
and
then
so.
What
will
often
happen
is
they'll
narrow
up
the
moving
Lanes
as
much
as
they
can
with
temporary
tape
or
whatnot,
but
if
they
go
so
far
as
to
actually
having
to
reduce
the
number
of
moving
Lanes,
what
they
can
do
is
like
in
what
is
normally
the
parking
Lane
they'll
turn
that
into
the
temporary
sidewalk.
H
So
they'll
put
a
row
of
Jersey
barriers
on
the
outside
of
that
parking.
Lane
they'll
put
an
ADA
accessible
ramp
to
go
from
the
regular
sidewalk
down
into
that
parking
lane,
and
then
pedestrians
can
continue
on
through
that
that
side
on
the
temporary
sidewalk
to
get
through
and
then
there'll
be
another
ramp
to
get
back
on
the
sidewalk
at
the
other
side
of
the
project,
and
so
when
they
do
that
we
do
not
charge
them.
Lane
use
fees
for
obstructing
the
sidewalk,
because
The
Pedestrian
walkways
open,
but
we
would
then
charge
them.
H
K
So
I
guess
I'm
I'm
kind
of
curious
about
in
practice.
It
seems
that
the
obvious
choice
here
with
the
fees
at
first
sidewalk
and
bike
lane
would
be
to
never
take
the
sidewalk
and
bike
lane
into
always
use
that
jersey
barrier
to
create
the
temporary
sidewalk
in
the
parking
Lane,
because
that
is
such
a
significant
fee
drop
and
I'm.
Just
it
seems
like
it's
pretty
clear
here
that
the
2022
goal,
what
I'm
just
looking
at
ratios,
right,
I'm,
not
even
looking
at
the
dollar
amount
I'm
just
looking
at
the
ratio
and
the
ratio
suggests.
K
H
Again,
it's
really
complicated
because
there's
a
lot
of
very
site-specific
unique
details,
so
so
what
hap?
So
it's
easy
to
take
a
moving,
Lane
and
say:
yeah,
there's
absolutely
a
sidewalk
that
you
can
use
in
one
of
the
moving
Lanes
or
a
parking
Lane
on
a
three-lane
one-way
in
downtown,
for
instance
right.
But
what
if
the
street
you're
on
now
is
one
of
the
the
side,
arterials
or
residential
street
in
its
two-way
traffic
and
maybe
parking
only
on
one
side
of
the
street.
H
B
H
We'll
explore
different
Alternatives
with
them
to
try
to
accommodate
it.
If
we
can
ship
eliminate
parking
on
the
other
side
of
the
street
and
shift
all
the
lanes,
there's
just
some
instances
where
they
might
need
to
actually
take
the
sidewalk
and
depends
on
the
scale
of
the
building
and
things
like
that.
So,
okay.
G
Thank
you,
Mr,
chair
first
I
want
to
thank
you,
Mr
freed
and
director
Anderson
Kelleher
for
doing
this
work
last
year.
After
being
sworn
in,
it
was
something
that
I
heard
about
right
away.
I
had
no
clue
what
the
developers
were
talking
to
me
about.
I
I
was
like
what
and
so
I'm
happy
that
you
all
have
brought
this
forward.
G
What
I
learned
was
that
a
lot
of
new
black
and
brown
developers
have
so
many
fees
associated
with
these
new
charges,
and
it
really
takes
away
from
the
overall
project
and
that's
something
that
I
want
in
my
work.
I
want
more
development
in
Ward
four,
and
what
I
don't
want
to
do
is
hinder
a
project
because
fees
are
cheaper
in
Brooklyn,
Park
or
Brooklyn
Center,
and
they
decide
to
take
it
there
instead,
and
so
it
was
very
important
to
me
that
staff
worked
on
this
and
came
back
with
something
that
feels
more
reasonable.
G
This
is
the
second
pwi
meeting
where
staff
has
apologized
for
making
a
mistake.
I
love,
I
I,
really
like
where
we're
going
with
this.
It's
not
very
often
that
people
say
publicly
we
messed
up.
We
have
to
fix
it,
especially
with
charging
more
money
right
like
most
of
the
time.
We
want
the
money,
but
we
we
need
to
do
something
different
this
time.
We
really
need
to
make
sure
that
folks
have
an
opportunity
to
invest
in
the
property.
G
If
that
there,
the
money
is
still
going
to
come
into
the
city,
whether
it's
in
housing
or
whatever.
It
is
it's
just
a
matter
of
how
we
get
it
so
I.
Thank
you
all
for
coming
up
with
this
new
way
of
doing
this,
I
I
really
don't
understand
why
we
would
delay
this
a
cycle.
I
I.
We
have
a
week
before
the
next
council
meeting
before
we
vote
on
this,
so
I
I
think
it's
I
would
prefer
to
move
it
forward
without
recommendation.
Mr
chair.
D
Substitute
motion
before
you
get
into
that
Mr
chairman,
that's
director,
please
sorry!
So
let
me
just
say
I
hope
to
end
the
apology
tour
of
Public
Works
soon
it
is.
It
is
not
something
that
is
a
lot
of
fun,
but
I
I
do
want
to
point
out
a
couple
other
things
that
I
particularly
I,
did
read
the
comments
that
came
in
about
the
RCA
and
I
think
there
are
two
things
that
probably
need
to
be
noted
here.
D
That
is
also
we
have
many
streets
now
in
the
city
that
are
metered,
so
the
obstruction
permit
is
actually
on
top
of
the
meter
fee.
Taking
that
developers
would
pay
so
there's
also
a
separate
calculation
done
for
how
long
a
meter
is
taken
away
from
the
residence
and
away
from
the
city
because
of
a
development.
That's
an
important
Point
here,
because
there's
actually
really
you
know
a
two-part
piece
of
this.
One
is
obstruction
fees,
one
is
metering
fees,
no
one's
asking
us
to
change
that
policy,
around
metering
fees.
D
D
360
feet
so
when
you
start
to
do
the
calculation
you
can
see,
it
adds
up
very
quickly
and
that's
why
we're
trying
to
change
the
behavior.
The
other
thing
I
want
to
say
there
was
a
particular
concern
about
around
the
University
of
Minnesota
I
know.
Several
of
you
have
had
this
concern
about
a
development
on
15
Southeast,
so
I'm
wondering
Mr
chair
if
you'd
like
Mr
Klugman
to
come
up
again.
We
are
serious
about
enforcement
of
this.
We
do
not
mess
around
with
contractors
and
developers.
So
Mr
Klugman
has
some
information
about
that.
D
J
Chair
members
of
the
community
good
afternoon,
again,
yeah
very
specifically,
the
site,
we're
talking
in
Dinkytown
between
14th
and
15th,
fourth
and
fifth
kind
of
build
McDonald's
area
site.
We've
received
a
number
311
comments,
calls
complained
from
a
certain
individual
I
believe
we're
up
to
dozens
of
comments.
Our
staff
has
been
out
there
for
every
single
comment
we've
received.
We
photographed
them,
we
videotaped
them.
We
actually
have
a
traffic
surveillance
camera
where
we
can
watch
also-
and
we've
worked
very
closely
with
the
contractor
I,
don't
think
we
have
found
any
violations.
J
If
there's
anything,
we
found
that's
a
minor
nature.
We've
worked
with
the
contractor
to
rectify
that
stuff
is
not
the
same
as
it
was
before.
We've
narrowed,
some
Lanes
we've
had
to
have
barriers,
and
things
like
that.
You
know
walkways
behind
the
Jersey
barriers,
so
it
is
not.
Obviously
it's
not
what
it
was
before
the
construction
started,
but
we
feel
it's
a
very
safe
and
secure
site.
That's
allowing
for
all
of
our
modal
priorities
to
leave
their
transportation
goals,
so
a
little
frustrating,
but
when
we
get
the
calls
and
complaints
we
do
look
into
them.
A
All
right,
thank
you.
That's
helpful.
Any
other
comments
or
questions
I
know
come
to
my
Vita
raised
an
interest
in
moving
this
forward.
Without
recommendation.
I
know:
half
the
console
members
on
this
committee
expressed
interest
in
a
delay
and
I'm
curious
if
any
of
them
have
any
feedback
on
that,
if
they
feel
that
having
an
additional
week
would
be
appropriate.
Given
timing
with
the
council.
I
Well,
I'm
happy
to
share
my
feedback.
I
think
I
think
that
in
an
Ideal
World
we
would
have
gotten
a
briefing
on
this
item
before
it
came
up
on
a
public
agenda,
and
this
is
it
I
I
appreciate
moving
quickly
on
a
thing
like
this,
but
this
was
this
was
known
it
was
it
was.
I
It
was
known
that
this
change
would
be
made
prior
to
an
RCA
being
filled
out
and-
and
we
saw
it
when
the
agenda
became,
you
know
public
and
so
I
think
it
would
be
appropriate
to
wait
two
weeks.
I,
don't
think
that
any
there
there
isn't
a
a
significant
problem,
that's
created
by
waiting
just
two
weeks
longer
to
allow
us
time
to.
I
You
know,
read
through
these
information
again
and
get
a
chance
to
ask
questions
a
part
of
the
a
part
of
the
the
problem
here
was
you
know,
I,
don't
know
where
what
what
the
deliberation
at
what
the
deliberation
on
this
body
was
like
back
in
2021
when
these
changes
were
made.
But
you
know
it
sounds
like
if
someone
had
maybe
looked
a
little
bit
closer
at
an
RCA
and
done
some
back
of
the
envelope
math.
I
Maybe
we
could
have
interrogated
or
asked
some
more
questions
about
what
went
wrong
and
so
I,
don't
I.
Think
two
weeks
is
an
appropriate
amount
of
time
to
wait
and
should
that
motion
not
pass,
you
know
I
think
we
can.
This
body
can
then
figure
out
what
we
do
next,
okay,.
A
Thank
you.
Any
additional
comments
or
questions
on
this
I
want
to
say,
I
appreciate,
councilman,
Richard,
High's
question
around
this
credit
aspect
of
this
or
some
sort
of
refund.
You
know.
A
I
spoke
with
someone
working
on
a
project
in
my
ward,
who
had
already
gotten
the
project
approved
by
the
city
had
already
gotten
their
permits
approved,
had
already
signed
the
loan
Finance
lockdown
everything
good
to
go
right
and
then
this
passed
and
they
thought
well,
that's
okay,
because
I
got
everything
done
in
time
with
the
city
and
permits
approved
and
all
that
and
then
got
hit
with
new,
unexpected
fees
that,
by
the
way,
got
added
on
top
of
all
the
other
kind
of
risks
and
variables
that
they
face,
including
inflation,
which
I
don't
know
how
many
of
you
track
steel
prices
on
a
day-to-day
basis
on
the
market?
A
I
don't
but
I
have
seen
the
chart
before
and
it's
you
know.
These
fees
went
up
a
lot
more
than
what
we
hear
of
for
consumers
in
that
six
to
ten
percent
range
of
inflation.
I
mean
we're
talking
about
50
percent,
double
that
sort
of
thing,
and
so,
when
you
have
all
these
other,
unexpected
costs
come
in
and
they
blew
through
contingency,
and
then
you
have
all
these
fees
on
top.
A
It
really
has
a
dramatic
impact,
and
so
I
also
agree
completely
with
what
council
member
Vitas
said
about
loving
this
second
coming
forward
and
saying:
hey,
there's
a
mistake:
I
think,
that's
great
I
think
that's
important,
I,
think
that's
being
transparent,
I
think
that's
being
responsive,
I,
think
that
is
being
accountable
and
so
I
think
it's
really
commendable
and
really
appreciate
the
Department's
work
in
that
regard.
A
I
gotta,
say
in
terms
of
the
the
delay
I'm
a
little
torn
I
am
ready
to
vote
for
this
today.
I
support
this
effort,
but
I
also
hear
half
of
our
committee
members
saying
that
they
want
more
time
to
have
a
conversation
to
look
at
this
and
so
I
think
in
that
regard,
it's
reasonable
to
do
so.
I
think
we
can
make
it
another.
A
Two
weeks
and
I
hope
that
everyone
can
be
sure
to
get
all
their
questions
in
and
get
time
scheduled
with
staff
and
that
we
can
make
sure
this
is
fully
vetted
for
the
next
time
we
come
forward
on
the
council,
so
I
know
that's
the
motion.
That's
before
us
I
want
to
see
if
there's
any
additional
discussion
or
questions
on
that
motion,
not
seeing
any
all
those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye,
aye
aye,
those
opposed,
say,
nay.
That
motion
carries
and
we
will
return
to
this
item
in
two
weeks.
A
Thank
you
very
much
for
the
presentation
and
thanks
to
the
director
and
the
committee
for
all
the
great
discussion
on
this
item
really
appreciate
it.
Now
we
will
move
on
to
our
second
discussion
item,
which
is
receiving
and
filing
an
update
on
Lake
Hiawatha
stormwater
management,
director
Anderson
Kelleher,
who
will
be
presenting
this
today.
Elizabeth.
D
M
You
chair,
Johnson
and
committee
members.
Thank
you
for
having
me
here
this
afternoon.
I'm
excited
to
talk
about
Lake
Hiawatha.
Today,
back
in
September,
Council
directed
staff
to
develop
a
permanent
solution
for
improving
storm
water
entering
Lake
Hiawatha.
We
were
directed
to
specifically
look
at
city-owned
infrastructure
to
address
litter
and
improve
water
quality.
M
There's
an
obvious
and
concerning
issue
with
litter
and
Lake
Hiawatha,
the
photographs
on
the
right
are
from
cleanup
events
hosted
by
the
friends
of
Lake
Hiawatha,
illustrating
the
extent
of
this
problem.
Staff
from
the
park
board
also
do
Lake
assessments
as
part
of
their
monitoring
program.
As
you
can
see
from
the
chart
on
the
left,
the
amount
of
litter
found
in
Lake
Hiawatha
exceeds
what
is
found
in
all
of
the
other
Lakes.
During
this
monitoring
program.
M
M
What
we've
seen
is,
we
just
do
not
have
fours
and
fives
in
Minneapolis,
so
we
change
the
scoring
a
little
bit.
That's
not
to
say
that
there
isn't
a
litter
problem,
but
it
is
to
say
that
Minnesota
is
cleaner
than
some
other
parts
of
the
United
States.
M
M
Litter
scores
from
our
hot
spot
mapping
correspond
really
closely
with
land
use,
which
is
the
the
drawing
shown
on
the
right
commercial
areas
and
high
density
residential
land
uses
along
with
Transit
corridors
and
bus
routes,
are
the
areas
that
are
scoring
those
twos
and
threes
shown
in
our
hot
spot
mapping.
This
is
really
consistent
with
similar
analysis
that
happen
across
the
country.
M
So
now
I'm
going
to
talk
about
some
of
the
best
management
practices
that
were
evaluated
as
part
of
the
attached
report.
The
first
of
these
is
catch
Basin
inserts
these
are
installed
directly
into
a
catch
Basin
and
they
collect
litter
within
each
cash
Basin
before
it
gets
into
the
storm
sewer
system.
M
In
this,
the
main
pipe
shed
going
into
Lake
Hiawatha,
there
are
about
1100
catch
basins.
We
estimated
that
it
would
take
about
20
to
30
minutes
to
clean
each
one
out
with
traffic
management
and
safety.
This
means
that
if
every
catch
Basin
in
this
Watershed
were
retrofit,
it
would
take
about
nine
weeks
to
maintain
each
of
them
all
together
after
a
rain
event.
So
just
understanding
the
scale
of
what
maintenance
means
here.
M
The
next
best
management
practice
that
was
looked
at
was
netting
devices
or
systems.
These
can
be
installed
either
directly
in
a
pipe
or
at
the
end
of
a
pipe.
We
focused
on
those
that
are
installed
within
a
pipe
netting.
Devices
have
been
found
to
be
highly
effective
in
the
city
of
New
York.
They,
a
specific
one
trash
trap,
was
found
to
be
90
to
90
percent
effective
at
removing,
like
the
main
growth.
What
we
call
growth
solids
or
the
main
body
of
trash.
M
They
have
a
moderate
Capital
cost
to
install
and
can
be
very
effective.
The
issues
with
installing
devices
like
this
are
the
equipment
needed
for
maintenance,
you'd
likely
need
to
have
a
type
of
a
crane
or
other
heavy
lifting
equipment,
and
there's
a
minimum
pipe
size
needed
to
install
a
device
in.
If
there
isn't
that
minimum
pipe
size
available,
then
a
more
costly
retrofit
of
a
full
system
would
be
needed.
M
M
The
concern
with
this
type
of
system
is
that
they're
they're
very
difficult
and
expensive
to
retrofit
into
an
existing
storm
sewer
system.
So
we
would
likely
use
these
in
conjunction
with
a
larger
full
reconstruction,
whether
of
a
road
or
of
the
full
storm
sewer
system.
They
do
require
more
frequent
maintenance,
but
due
to
their
larger
size,
it
would
be
as
little
as
twice
a
year
rather
than
after
rain.
Events
like
those
smaller
catch
Basin
inserts.
M
M
M
M
M
The
first
of
these
practices
is
increasing
the
number
of
litter
receptacles
in
the
Watershed
there's
a
very
low
Capital
cost
for
this
implementation,
and
they
can
be
targeted
at
the
priority
land
use
areas
like
directly
at
bus
stops.
This
type
of
program
would
require
more
public
participation
to
be
successful.
M
As
you
can
maybe
see
from
the
picture,
this
was
taken
during
a
litter
scan
last
summer.
This
is
actually
at
a
bus
stop
and
there
is
a
litter
container,
but
you
can
see
litter
be
in
the
gutter,
so
making
sure
that
we
have
active
particip
public
participation
would
be
a
critical
piece
of
any
type
of
program
like
this.
M
The
next
practice
that
was
evaluated
was
street.
Sweeping
the
city
already
has
a
comprehensive
street
sweeping
program
with
all
city
streets
being
swept
at
least
twice
a
year.
Alleys
swept
once
a
year,
and
some
priority
areas
swept
much
more
frequently
up
to
Nightly
in
some
downtown
areas,
street
sweeping
takes
place
from
April
until
Leaf
Drop
in
the
fall
so
for
about
eight
months.
The
main
corridors
of
this
Watershed
are
swept
monthly
during
this
time
period
with
other
areas
swept
somewhat
less
frequently.
M
This
program
track
captures
both
trash
as
well
as
other
pollutants
such
as
phosphorus
and
sediment.
The
existing
street
sweeping
schedule
for
the
city
can
be
modified
to
spend
more
time
in
the
Hiawatha
Watershed.
However,
there
is
only
a
limited
number
of
sweepers
and
staff
hours
to
to
drive
them,
so
any
increase
in
this
area
would
mean
a
decrease
in
service
in
other
areas.
So
any
changes
will
have
to
evaluate
this
change
in
service
and
determine
if
there
we
continue
to
have
acceptable
levels
of
service
throughout
the
city.
M
M
Many
of
them
like
adopt
a
drain
already
have
support
from
the
local
community
and
neighborhood
organizations.
In
fact,
adopted
drain
in
Minneapolis
started
as
a
partnership
with
the
Standish
Ericsson
neighborhood,
targeting
trash
in
Lake
Hiawatha
and
has
grown
to
Minneapolis,
having
the
highest
percentage
of
adopted
storm
drains
of
any
Community
participating
in
this
program
in
the
United
States.
M
To
date,
we've
completed
a
couple
of
unfortunately
somewhat
less
than
successful
pilot
projects
looking
at
trash
screens
and
an
end
of
pipe
Boom
at
Lake
Hiawatha
we've
also
started
implementing
green
infrastructure
on
rotary
construction
projects.
Those
work
to
capture
trash
in
the
boulevard
before
getting
to
the
lake.
M
In
2023,
we
are
already
committing
to
continuing
to
work
on
the
litter
problem.
Lake
Hiawatha
this
year,
we'll
continue
to
work
with
the
urban
scholar
program
and
continue
to
promote
those
clean
City
programs
such
as
adopt
a
drain
and
adopt
a
litter
container,
we'll
be
evaluating
the
existing
stormwater
ponds
in
the
Watershed
to
see
if
there
are
simple
retrofit
opportunities
to
collect
more
trash,
that'll
be
done
this
summer,
we're
also
working
with
the
Minnehaha
Creek
Watershed
district
and
the
park
board
on
the
creek
master
plan
to
see.
M
If
there's
a
there
are
ways
to
reduce
litter.
Coming
from
that
Source
from
the
creek
end,
and
the
next
thing
is
the
one
I'm
most
excited
about
in
partnership
with
freshwater
society
and
River
Network
and
the
park
board
will
be
installing
an
end
of
pipe
boom
system
in
Lake
Hiawatha
this
summer.
This
was
donated
to
us
by
river
Network
and
we
will
be
there's
actually
a
a
public
event
on
June
3rd
I
want
to
get
everybody
out
there
we'll
be
having
a
community
installation
and
Lake
cleanup
event
on
June
3rd.
M
M
M
We
need
to
better
understand
the
maintenance
needs
and
flooding
potential
of
these
devices
before
I
can
recommend
installing
them
Beyond
a
pilot
project,
however,
we'll
be
evaluating
the
success
of
that
boom
system
and
we'll
be
targeting
local
businesses
for
additional
education
on
litter
and
possibly
looking
into
increasing
enforcement
action.
If
that's
warranted.
M
So
some
final
takeaways
today
when
I
first
started
looking
at
this
problem
when
we
received
the
staff
Direction
last
fall,
I
was
I
was
really
hoping
that
City
staff
had
missed
something
that
we've
been
looking
at.
This
problem
and
I
was
really
hoping
to
see
from
our
consultant
that
there
was
some
silver
bullet
there's.
Just
not.
M
A
N
Thank
you,
Terry
Johnson,
missed
out.
Thank
you
so
much
for
this
presentation
and
all
of
your
hard
work.
I
know:
we've
partnered
on
things
with
Diamond
Lake,
so
I
appreciate
this
I'm,
just
wondering
if
you
can
go
back
to
the
picture
on
the
boom.
Can
you
just
help
us
understand
this?
What
this
I
I
think
I
understand,
but
I,
could
you
just
maybe
describe
it
a
little
bit
more
in
depth
and
it
sounds
like
we
will
see
this
in
place
this
summer
or
soon?
Yes,.
M
Very
soon,
so
this
is
a
boom
system.
It's
actually
a
series
of
three
different
booms.
This
pipe
is
quite
large
when
it
comes
into
Lake
Hiawatha
and
during
storm
events.
There's
High
velocities.
We
had
tried
a
pilot
project
with
a
single
boom
and
it
kept
getting
washed
out
so
they're
putting
three
in
series
so
that,
as
those
velocities
hit,
we
won't
get
things
washed
out.
It's
a
floating
boom
on
the
top
and
then
there's
a
net
that
goes
down
to
the
the
lake
bed.
It's
self
to
really
capture
everything.
M
N
G
Thank
you,
Mr
chair
council
member
Vice
chairkoski
asked
my
question,
but
I
wanted
to
say
thank
you
so
much
for
this
work
and
I
also
wanted
to
thank
the
city
for
partnering
as
a
part
of
our
violence
prevention
work.
The
city
has
partnered
with
the
north
side
Bulldogs,
who
keep
our
drains
clean
on
the
North
side.
So
thank
you
all
so
much
for
that
work
and
Shout
out
the
north
side.
Bulldogs
and
Coach
Tate.
A
Thank
you,
councilmember.
Any
other
comments
or
questions
on
this
I
will
just
say
I,
so
appreciate
all
the
extensive
work
you
clearly
have
looked
at
every
angle
turned
over
every
Rock
looking
for
any
and
every
way
to
improve
the
situation
and
we're
very
methodical
about
it
and
using
data
to
guide
this
and
I
think
it's
good
to
talk
about
the
fact
that
there
are
no
silver
bullets
on
this
that
you
really
have
to
take
a
combination
of
different
approaches
to
continue
to
improve
the
situation
and
I
also
want
to
say
thank
you
as
well.
A
I
see
a
representative
from
Friends
of
Lake
Hiawatha
here
in
the
audience.
I
just
have
to
say
the
community
effort
around
advocating
for
and
and
importantly
keeping
this
Lake,
clean
and
healthy
is
just
so
impressive
and
the
huge
amount
of
volunteer
efforts
that
go
into
it.
A
Just
the
amount
of
litter
taken
out
and
efforts
to
really
connect
people
with
our
our
critically
important
system
of
water
that
we
have
here
in
our
city
is
so
great.
So
thank
you
for
being
a
part
of
this
effort
too,
and
a
partner
with
the
city
and
director
craft.
Thank
you
as
well,
so
much
for
all
of
your
work
on
this
and
missed
out
just
great
job.
A
I
really
appreciate
this,
and
it's
very
exciting
and
I
guess
one
question
I
maybe
have
is:
do
we
anticipate
as
you
continue
this
work
and
think
about
the
next
steps,
perhaps
anything
to
come
through
the
budget
process
or
Capital
Improvement
program
in
terms
of
these
bmps.
M
Chair
Johnson,
we
likely
put
these
in
any
retrofits
would
likely
be
done
as
part
of
Paving
projects
just
to
get
that
economy
involved.
That
would
be
part
of
our
PVR
program.
That
already
goes
through
the
capital
budget
request.
M
I
think
our
next
step
is
to
evaluate.
If
this
boom
system
works,
we
may
have
kind
of
found
our
solution.
We
already
have
existing
programs
that
are
going
to
continue
when
it
comes
to
education
and
and
public
engagement
and
the
kind
of
adopt
a
programs
street
sweeping
all
of
those
will
continue
and
are
will
continue
to
be
funded.
Excellent.
D
Thank
you,
Mr
chair,
I,
want
to
thank
Miss
Stout
and
director
Kraft
as
well.
I
also
want
to
remind
this
committee
that
you
actually
already
voted
on
the
acceptance
of
the
gift
of
the
Osprey
boom.
I
think
it
was
maybe
a
couple
meetings
ago
already,
and
so
that
I
think
it
nicely
ties
together
just
being
able
to
see
what
this
is
and
I
too
am
excited,
because
if
this
works,
I
think
there's
probably
other
future
implementations
that
could
happen
in
the
city
to
keep
our
water
cleaner.
A
Absolutely
thank
you
director
and
then,
of
course,
committee
members.
Please
come
out
to
award
12
on
June
3rd,
so
we'll
check
out
the
boom
and
celebrate
it.
So
there
you
go
all
right.
Thank
you
see
no
further
discussion
and
without
objection.
I
will
direct
the
clerk
to
receive
and
file
this
report
and
our
final
discussion
item
today
is
considering
a
resolution
related
to
Olson
Memorial
Highway
55
priorities
brought
forward
by
council
member
wansley
and
Ellison,
so
I
will
turn
over
to
council
member
Juan's
leader
presents
on
this
item.
Thank.
C
You
chair,
Johnson,
I'm,
really
excited
to
bring
this
resolution
resolution
forward
in
collaboration
with
council
member
Jeremiah
Ellison.
Since
the
beginning
of
this
term,
I
have
tried
to
utilize
this
seat
on
the
public
works
and
infrastructure
committee
to
build
stronger
relationships
with
you
know
our
North
Side
leaders
and
Community
stakeholders
and
in
conversations
with
councilmember
Ellison
and
Community
member,
removing
awesome,
Memorial
Highway
and
restoring
this
Corridor
to
what
was
formerly
known
as
the
Sixth
Avenue
North
was
a
clear
priority.
C
C
In
fact,
the
intersection
of
Lindale
Avenue
North
in
Austin
has
the
highest
crash
rate
in
all
of
Minneapolis.
With
that
in
mind,
for
years,
residents
and
community
members
have
been
asking
the
Minnesota
Department
of
Transportation
other
government
agencies
to
step
in
and
bring
in
safety
relief
to
this
community.
But
you
know,
lack
of
action
and
continued
pedestrian
accidents
have
resulted
in
Neighbors.
C
Having
to
restrict
their
movements
in
their
own
neighborhoods,
just
for
example,
the
highway
divides
The
Limited
amenities
available
to
families
with
Harrison
Park
Community
Center
on
one
side
of
the
highway
in
Sumner
library,
library,
on
the
other,
and
my
office
has
been
contacted
by
families
who
are
frustrated
that
they
can't
let
their
children
use
these
resources
because
they're
afraid
that
they
can
actually
be
killed
from
crossing
the
highway.
C
This
is
unacceptable
reality
that
these
families
have
had
to
live
with,
but
it's
especially
disheartening
since
Heritage
Park
is
home
to
the
highest
density
of
children
in
the
City
of
Minneapolis.
During
the
first
half
of
the
1900s
6th
Avenue
North
in
the
surrounding
neighborhoods
was
also
a
predominantly
black
and
Jewish
cultural
Hub.
C
It
was
also
once
a
vibrant,
diverse
business,
Corridor
known
as
Sixth
Avenue
North.
It
was
a
walkable
community
that
had
access
to
grocery
stores,
Bakery
Series,
Entertainment
and
also
locally
owned
shops.
It
was
considered
the
bill
streets
of
the
north,
notably
known
for
its
numerous
bars
and
music
venues
and
was
the
heart
of
the
Twin
Cities
Jazz
Community
black
and
Jewish
residents
congregated
around
6th
Avenue
because
of
segregation
and
the
systemic
devaluation
of
their
communities
in
1333.
C
The
federal
homeowners
loan
corporation
holc,
Red
Line
neighborhoods,
like
these
for
in
incompatible
racial
and
social
groups,
whose
mixing
quote-unquote
contributed
to
instability
and
a
perceived
decline
in
property
values.
So,
by
the
end
of
the
1930s,
we
saw
hundreds
of
businesses
in
homes
along
this
route,
be
completely
destroyed
and
replaced
with
a
wide
Highway
cutting
through
near
North
neighborhoods.
The
placement
of
Austin
Highway
was
a
deliberate
decision
and
it
record
several
decades
of
continued
disinvestment
and
harmful
planning,
displacement.
C
Pollution
and
economic
disinvestment
are
all
the
results
of
many
of
these
decision
makers
in
our
government
agencies
in
in
their
lack
of
regard
for
this
local
community,
and
you
know
it's
great
that
as
a
city,
we
have
an
opportunity
to
make
some
reparative
steps,
especially
since
we
declare
racism
to
be
a
public
health.
Emergency
Highway
removal
is
a
form
of
racial
and
environmental
justice.
This
resolution
is
the
first
step
in
writing
the
wrongs
of
the
past
and
bringing
reparative
Justice
to
the
north
side.
C
When
the
community
is
successful
in
turning
and
removing
this
highway
and
having
it
be
turned
over
to
another
agency,
the
city
will
have
the
opportunity
to
also
work
with
these
Partners
to
fully
utilize
our
resources
to
support
residents
in
restoring
this
Corridor
to
the
once
safe
walkable
Corridor
that
it
used
to
be
so
I'm
really
excited
about.
This
I
also
want
to
take
the
opportunity
to
highlight
some
of
the
groups
that
have
been
consistent
in
organizing
for
a
safer,
Olsen
and
Harrison
area.
C
Those
groups
include
residents
and
members
of
the
Harrison
neighborhood
association,
Heritage
Park
neighborhood
association,
who
have
persistently
led
the
charge
for
organizing
for
safety
improvements
for
years.
H
A
has
also
been
a
active
Community
partner
and
organizing
hub
for
the
past
10
years
and
trying
to
get
government
agencies
to
be
responsive
to
this
issue.
I'm
also,
incredibly
grateful
for
the
dedication
and
persistency
that
they've
shown
also
shout
out
to
Green
Garden
Bakery,
which
is
a
youth
run
business
that
was
initiated
out
of
Heritage
Park.
It's
received
National
Nationwide
accolades.
C
This
business
is
also
home
to
it's
in
the
area
where
we
have
the
largest
density
of
children,
but
it's
also
a
success
story
because
it
was
created
because
one
there
was
a
kid
in
the
neighborhood
that
actually
was
killed
while
crossing
Austin
on
Memorial
Highway,
and
these
kids
gathered
together
and
formed
this
this
business
to
raise
dollars
to
support
that
kid
and
their
family.
So
I
want
to
hold
that.
C
You
know
the
lives
that
we've
lost
as
a
result
of
this
highway.
I
also
want
to
thank
our
streets
Minneapolis
for
their
advocacy
on
this
project.
They've
joined
neighborhoods
associations
like
Harrison
neighborhood
association
and
Heritage
Park
residents,
and
bringing
significant
national
attention
to
this.
Their
advocacy
actually
led
to
Austin
Memorial
Highway
being
named
as
one
of
the
10
highways
and
the
freeways
without
Futures
report,
which
has
had
success
in
nominating
highways
to
be
later
demolished
and
turned
into
more
Humane
centered
designs
over
time.
C
So
I
just
want
to
name
the
just
expensive
list
of
partners
that
have
brought
attention
to
this
that
have
done
just
authentic,
deep,
relational,
organizing
in
their
communities.
C
That's
included
door,
knocking
hosting
events
Community
sessions,
to
really
make
sure
that
this
resolution
and
the
the
vision
for
transforming
this
Corridor
is
rooted
in
the
lived
experiences
and
Brilliance
that
exists
in
north
side
and
I'm
really
excited
to
continue
to
support
our
partners
in
realizing
that
bring
back
six
Vision
and
looking
forward
to
collaborating
with
our
northsiders
to
make
sure
that
we
can
do
that
work
and
ensure
that
this
community
has
a
vibrant
and
sustainable
Corridor
that
they've
been
asking
for
for
years
and
knowing
that
they
deserve
it.
C
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
onesley
and
director
I'm
wondering
if
we
have
anyone
here
from
the
Department
able
to
speak
about
upcoming
work
on
this
and
kind
of
the
state
of
where
things
are
at.
D
So
Mr
chair,
I
I,
don't
want
to
belabor
the
meeting
longer
than
you
want,
but
we
did
ask
to
be
on
deck
today,
sort
of
to
come
in
to
to
hit
here.
If
you
would
like
to
hear
a
little
bit
more,
both
Jenny
Hager
director
of
Transportation,
Planning
and
programming
and
Ethan
Fowley
is
here
as
well,
because
both
Vision
zero
our
vision,
zero
work
has
been
deeply
eroded
in
this
and,
in
fact,
I
think
Ethan
might
say
a
few
words
about
that
work.
D
Right
now
to
be
able
to
make
this
much
safer.
It
is
definitely
one
of
the
highest
injury
roadways
we
have
and
it
needs
it
needs
a
lot
of
attention.
A
Thank
you,
director,
I
think
that
would
be
good
just
to
get
even
a
very
brief
understanding
of
how
this
roadway
will
be
improved
moving
forward.
Thank
you.
O
Sure,
chair
Johnson,
council
members,
my
name
is
Ethan
Foley
vision
is
your
program
coordinator
in
public
works,
so
we
have
been
looking
at
Olson
for
quite
a
while,
and
it
is,
as
was
mentioned,
identified
as
a
high
injury
Street,
something
we
worked
with
MnDOT
last
year
on
some
initial
pilot
changes.
O
We
could
do
on
Olson
last
year
and
we've
been
working
with
Olson
Kathleen
mayal
from
our
division
has
been
engaged
in
a
planning
study
that
MnDOT
has
been
leading
looking
at
the
whole
Highway
55
Corridor
going
west,
but
especially
this
part
of
Olson.
O
So
we've
been
really
engaged
in
this
part
of
that
we
have
the
opportunity
that
MnDOT
is
looking
at
that
very
much
as
being
able
to
inform
a
future
projects
coming
up
that
they're
looking
to
scope
for
2027
and
so
I
think
you
know
this
is
very
timely
and
we're
very
much
engaged
in
this.
This
project
there's
very
much
a
a
need
for
considerable
safety
and
community
and
livability
improvements.
A
Great
thank
you.
It
really
helps
to
know
that
date,
two
of
2027
so
and
in
the
efforts
that
will
take
place
around
that
any
additional
discussion
or
comments
on
this
item,
not
seeing
any
all
those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye,
aye
aye,
those
opposed,
say,
nay,
that
motion
carries
and
with
that
we've
concluded
all
the
items
before
this
committee
today
and
without
objection,
We
Stand
adjourned.
Thank
you.
Everyone
I
think.
