Goodman
is
absent,
Jenkins
is
absent,
Council
Chavez,
present
Council
triai.
E
E
A
A
Let
the
record
reflect
that
we
have
a
quorum
and
I
did
hear
in
advance
from
council
member
Goodman,
who
is
on
our
way
to
the
clean
energy
partnership,
which
is
a
city
responsibility.
I,
know,
council,
member
chug
Tai
is
a
member
of
that
and
we'll
have
to
run
to
that
shortly
as
well,
and
then
council
member
Ellison's
office,
let
us
know
in
advance
that
he
had
a
prior
commitment
as
well
on
City
business.
So
with
that
we
have
one
item
today.
F
Thank
you,
chair
Johnson
and
council
members
I'm
pleased
to
be
here
to
present
our
capital
budget
request
for
you
today
so
before
I
go
into
the
2024
request.
I
just
thought:
I'd
recap
briefly
that
there
was
a
capital
investment
bill
passed
by
the
legislature,
this
past
session.
That
did
include
a
number
of
City
priorities.
So
you
will
see
that
a
couple
of
these
priorities
are
no
longer
on
the
list.
F
This
past
session,
the
2023
capital
investment
Bill
also
included
nearly
$90
million
for
different
nonprofit
projects
in
Minneapolis,
which
are
not
typically
on
our
list,
but
our
things
were
generally
supportive
of
as
well,
and
then
the
the
bill
also
included
money
for
public
housing,
Rehabilitation
and
local
tree
planting,
which
are
other
things
that
are
of
interest
to
the
city.
So
moving
on
on
to
the
2024
capital
budget
process.
F
So
the
city,
as
you
all,
are
aware,
can
seek
General
obligation,
bonds
from
the
state
for
infrastructure
projects
in
the
city.
As
a
general
rule,
the
projects
must
extend
the
useful
life
of
an
asset,
be
a
one-time
expense,
be
publicly
owned
and
then
be
a
regional
project
or
facility,
so
something
that
benefits
the
entire
region
and
then
also
have
a
non-state
match,
so
local
or
federal
funds
or
or
private
funds,
as
as
part
of
them,
and
so
we
were
asked
local.
F
All
local
governments
across
the
state
had
the
opportunity
to
submit
preliminary
proposals
to
Minnesota
management
and
budget
in
June,
and
so
we
did
that
we
submitted
four
projects
which
we'll
be
talking
to
you
about
today
and,
as
you
can
see,
we
have
a
robust
team
from
public
works
here
as
well.
Who
can
provide
details
about
the
projects?
F
If
there
are
questions,
they
are
all
Public
Works
projects
and
then
final
submissions
are
due
to
Minnesota
management
and
budget
by
October
13th,
and
so
that's
what
we're
bringing
forward
to
you
today
is
approval
for
those
final
submissions
and
and
the
resolution.
That
is
something
that
MMB
requests,
that
local
governments
submit
with
their
projects
is
a
resolution
from
the
the
local
governing
body.
F
So
with
that
I
will
go
through
the
the
projects
that
are
on
the
list
and
then,
as
I
mentioned,
Public
Works
staff
can
help
answer
any
more
detailed
questions.
If
you
have
them,
the
resolution
does
rank
the
projects.
That's
another
requirement.
We
are
required
to
submit
a
ranking
and
so
I'm
going
to
present
these
in
the
order
that
they're
ranked
on
the
resolution.
The
first
is
the
Nicollet
Avenue
Bridge.
This
has
been
on
our
list
for
a
number
of
years.
F
Now
this
is
a
bridge
that
spans
minihaha,
Parkway
and
minihaha
Creek
and
is
in
need
of
of
repair.
Our
request
is
$44.5
million
in
NGO
bonds.
The
total
project
cost
is
just
under
$54
million,
so
we
do
have
some
local,
local
and
federal
funds
that
are
committed
to
the
project
as
well.
F
This
is
a
regional
project
because
it
is
a
key
connector
between
different
communities
in
the
region
and
it's
accommodates
a
significant
local
bus,
drought,
Route
18,
which
is
slated
to
be
upgraded
to
bus,
rapid
transit
in
the
future,
and
it
is
a
significant
throughway
for
both
motorized
and
non-motorized
travelers,
and
it
supports
accessibility
to
Emergency,
Services
jobs,
schools
and
local
businesses.
F
F
Thank
you
so
the
next
project,
the
second
ranked
project
on
the
list,
is
this
36
inch
water
main
restoration.
Our
request
here
is
8.34
million
and
we
are
proposing
to
match
that
with
the
same
amount
in
local
funds,
and
this
is
structural
renewal.
Ral
of
the
drinking
water
transmission,
water
main
that
runs
through
the
north
side
green
zone.
You'll
recall
that
in
December
of
2022
there
was
a
break
in
the
water
main
and
a
brief
boil
water
advisory
for
parts
of
North
Minneapolis.
F
This
project
would
restore
that
water,
M
and
the
reason
we're
requesting
Geo
bonds
to
do
this
in
this
way
is
it
is
more
cost
effective
and
faster
to
do
the
restoration
all
at
once.
So
if
we
could
get
the
general
obligation
bonds,
we'd
be
able
to
do
the
project,
restore
the
water
meain
and
get
the
project
done
more
efficiently,
and
this
is
a
key
pipeline
for
supplying
water
to
Downtown,
Minneapolis
and
so
we're
hoping
that
the
state
can
contribute
to
get
this
project
done
more
quickly.
D
G
Change
Vice,
chair
rainville,
basically
there's
a
number
of
contributing
factors.
We
don't
have
any
single
Smoking
Gun,
as
this
is
a
old
pipeline,
actually
one
of
the
oldest
transmission
Mains
in
service
in
the
City
of
Minneapolis,
that,
coupled
with
it's
located
in
a
relatively
high
traffic
area,
and
then
it
was
also
basically
subject
to
some
pressure
transits
from
the
system.
Excuse
me
so
those
number
of
reasons
All
Pro
likely
contributed
to
that
particular
failure.
G
One
of
the
reasons
for
this
project
is
because
of
the
age
and
the
materials
from
which
it's
built,
there's
likely
other
locations
that
may
be
subject
to
similar
failures
or
weaken
weakening,
but
rather
than
having
to
go
and
try
to
find
those
and
do
peace
meal
rehabilitations.
The
money
to
be
able
to
do
this
all
at
once
allows
us
to
rehabilitate
the
pipeline.
F
All
right,
the
third
project
on
the
list
is
a
project
you've
seen
before
this
is
Ada
transition,
we're
requesting
$5
million
in
general
obligation
bonds
to
help
us
with
our
pedestrian
curb
ramp
upgrades
to
ensure
compliance
with
the
Americans
with
Disabilities
Act.
We
have
more
than
18,000
pedestrian.
Curb
ramps
in
the
City
of
Minneapolis
right
now
about
23%
are
are
compliant
with
Ada,
so
we
have
work
ahead
of
us.
F
We
are
diligently
working
to
to
get
it
done
as
quickly
as
we
can,
but
we
are
requesting
State
funds
to
help
acceler
accelerate
our
work
to
upgrade
the
non-compliant
curb
ramps.
We
did
receive
just
under
$2
million
through
the
transportation
bill
this
past
session,
which
will
help
with
this
work.
But
again
this
is
this
cost
tens
of
million
dollars
and
it's
taking
many
years,
and
so
we
want
to
make
sure
we
can
accelerate
this
as
quickly
as
possible.
F
You
can
see
on
the
slide
before
and
after
picture
of
of
what
the
curb
ramps
look
like
after
the
upgrade
is
complete.
This
is
near
the
federal
courthouse
downtown
and
clearly
it's
a
lot
more
accessible
once
the
work
is
complete.
F
And
the
final
project
on
the
list
is
Boston
Terrace
we're
requesting
$3.9
million
in
geobond
proceeds.
The
total
cost
of
the
project
is
$7.9
million,
so
we're
requesting
just
under
50%
%
of
the
cost,
and
this
project
will
address
critical
infrastructure
improvements
to
the
Boston
Terrace
sanitary
sewer
and
it'll,
replace
4200
feet
of
sanitary
sewer
and
2
200
2500
feet
of
storm
sewer.
There
is
a
deteriorating
storm
pipe
in
the
area
and
the
storm
water
flows
in
this
area.
F
This
area
is
near
the
airport
and
a
number
of
Regional
roadways,
and
so
this
project
will
help
ensure
that
we're
not
experiencing
issues
that
affect
the
airport
and
surrounding
areas.
So
I'll
pause
there
in
case
there
are
questions
on
this
one.
A
Not
seeing
any
thank
you,
oh,
we
do
have
a
comment
or
question
from
council
member
chugai.
H
H
So
you
know
agree
that
it's
really
important
to
do
the
structural
renewal
renewal
of
of
this
water,
M
I
know
it
was
a
really
big
when
it
happened
last
year
and
we
got
a
pretty
extensive
presentation
from
public
works
right
after
the
the
pipe
broke
and
I
guess
I'm
curious
about
why
we're
using
this
process
to
to
request
money
for
the
restoration
of
it
instead
of
like
using
the
money
that
was
allocated
for
lead
pipe
like
water,
lead,
pipe
restoration
or
replace
and
there's
you
know
like
I'm,
not
saying
I,
don't
actually
know
if
there
is
lead
present
in
these
pipes
anyway.
H
So
maybe
it's
it's
just
not
relevant,
but
yeah
curious
about
that.
G
Council,
member
chug
Tai,
thank
you
in
particular.
The
lead
service
line
replacement
money
is
specific
to
lead
service
lines
which
are
the
the
the
pipelines
that
connect
from
the
water
mains
to
residences.
So
that,
in
essence,
is
a
different
pot
of
money
so
to
speak.
There
are,
you
know,
other
other
questions
about
funding,
for
this
relate
to
things
like
drinking
water,
revolving
fund
and
things
like
that.
G
So
what,
by
asking
for
bonds,
it
helps
us
basically
manage
our
financial
profile
and
not
take
out
a
loan
to
do
the
work,
but
getting
these
State
funds
help
us
accelerate
that
and
fit
it
into
our
overall
Capital
program.
D
Thank
you,
Mr,
chair,
I
I
cannot
help
but
recogn
ize,
our
great
Public
Works
team
here
today,
and
so
much
of
so
many
of
the
calls
I
get
so
much
of
what
I
do
evolves
around
Public,
Works
you're,
so
important
I
just
do
have
a
couple
quick
questions:
the
storm
water,
Central,
City,
storm
water
tunnel.
That
has
impacted
many
residents
and
businesses.
Do
you
have
a
an
end
date
on.
D
I
Vice,
chair
rainville,
the
anticipated
end
date
right
now
is
June
of
2024.
I
D
I'm
comfortable
with
that,
thank
you
yep
and
then.
My
second
question
is
a
lot
of
copper
theft
has
been
going
going
on.
St
Paul
probably
has
more
of
a
problem,
but
recently
on
the
median
in
on
Main
Street
Northeast
couple,
gentlemen
actually
crawled
down
into
they
popped
off
the
top,
and
this
is
between
7th
Avenue
and
8th
Avenue
I,
I,
I'm
sure
you're,
aware
of
this.
Yes,
no
and
they
somehow
pulled
out
a
80
foot
pipe
at
again
at
4
in
the
morning.
D
So
the
the
question
is,
and
it
appears
to
have
been
a
disconnected
copper
pipe,
so
it
didn't
affect
anybody's
service.
But
what
are
we
doing
to
secure
our
our
copper.
G
I'll
take
a
shot
at
this
Vice
chair,
reesville
I'm,
actually
not
familiar
with
that
particular
theft,
but
copper
pipes
make
me
think
water
service
line,
copper
service
lines.
I
do
know
that
that
that
can
be
a
problem
on
interior
of
properties
that
are
abandoned
or
vacant,
and
that
often
will
go
in
and
we'll
have
troubles
where
people
have
taken
out.
The
copper
piping
I'm
not
as
familiar
with
people
actually
being
so
bold
as
to
dig
up
in
the
street.
G
These
service
lines
are
buried,
8
to
10
foot
deep,
so
the
the
level
of
effort
to
go
down
and
dig
and
access
those
lines
to
pull
them
out
is
something
I
haven't
encountered
before.
So.
D
Well,
yes,
the
level
of
effort
is
very
impressive,
but
in
fact,
and
I
don't
want
to
bother
you.
Maybe
we
can
talk
about
this.
C
Thank
you,
chair,
Johnson
I
was
just
curious
about
there's
a
little
bit
of
overlap
between
this
funding
mechanism
in
the
regional
solicitation
process
at
met,
Council
and
I'm
just
curious
how
we
approach
these
types
of
requests.
Is
it
based
on
you
know
whether
or
not
these
projects
meet
or
don't
meet
the
criteria,
or
obviously
we're
in
this
unique
scenario
where
we
actually
have
a
a
budget
surplus
at
the
state?
That
is
a
different
pile
of
money.
That's
not
typically
available,
but
I
was
just
curious
as
how
we
kind
of.
F
Approached
Sher,
Johnson
and
council
member
I
will
start
and
then
maybe
turn
it
over
to
to
one
of
my
colleagues
from
Public
Works
to
fill
in
more
but
the
as
I
mentioned,
and
maybe
I'll
go
back
to
that
first
slide.
Part
of
the
way
we
identify
projects
for
this
process
is
there
are
pretty
specific
requirements
that
the
state
gives
us
that
it's
you
know
a
project
of
regional
significance
that
it's
a
you
know,
one-time
expense
extends
the
useful
life
of
an
asset.
F
So
we
are
when,
when
we
put
out
the
call
to
departments
to
identify
projects
that
fit
the
criteria,
the
state
give
us
for
General
obligation,
Bond
projects,
but
often
these
projects
are
large,
expensive
and
need
more
than
one
source
of
funding
as
well,
and
so
we
might
identify
a
project
for
goo
bonds
that
we're
also
applying
for
federal
funds
or
or
other
sources
of
funds
for,
and
so
so
that's
I
think
a
partial
answer
to
your
question.
I'll
see
if
there's
anything
fer
wants
to.
E
Add
thank
you.
Mr
chair
committee
members,
I'm
Jenifer,
Hager
I'm,
the
director
of
Transportation
Planning
and
programming
in
public
works.
As
director
topinka
noted.
You
know
these
are
State
funds
that
we're
going
for
with
this
resolution.
The
regional
solicitation
is
for
federal
funds,
and
so
those
are
for
very
specific
categories,
mainly
roadways,
Bridges
bike
and
ped
and
Transit,
and
so
to
the
extent
that
some
of
these
proposals
here
overlap.
The
main
one
I
see
is
with
the
Ada
upgrades
and
we
do
pursue
projects
for
Ada
upgrades
in
the
regional
solicitation.
E
The
pot
of
funding
that
we
can
go
for
there
is
limited.
It's
usually
up
to
you,
know
three
and
a
half
to5
million,
maybe
7
million.
If
we
can
couple
it
with
a
roadway
project,
our
need
when
it
comes
to
upgrading
our
Ada
pedestrian.
Curb
ramps
across
the
city
is
over
$400
million
and
it's
a
federal
mandate.
It's
an
unfunded
mandate
that
we
are
working
to
advance
our
work
on
and
so
we're
looking
to
leverage
as
many
funding
sources
as
we
can
in
order
to
accelerate
that
work.
F
All
right
just
have
one
more
slide
here
just
to
to
talk
about
next
steps.
So,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
our
resolution
and
final
budget
or
capital
budget
requests
are
due
to
Minnesota
management
and
budget
by
October
13th.
And
so
that's
the
the
request
before
you
today
is
to
to
allow
us
to
submit
that
resolution.
F
F
Investment
tour
in
miniapolis
is
slated
for
October,
26th
and
27th,
and
we
are
working
with
committee
staff
and
members
to
identify
stops
for
that
tour
and
also
coordinating
with
our
partners
at
the
park
board
and
hennipen
County
to
for
that
planning,
and
then
the
house
capital
investment
committee
tours
in
the
metro
area
are
scheduled
for
November
14th
and
16th
or
November
