We
will
now
move
on
to
our
two
consent
items
today,
which
I'll
read
for
the
record.
The
first
is
passage
of
a
resolution
expressing
opposition
to
the
proposed
merger
of
Sanford,
Health
and
mhealth
Fairview,
and
the
second
is
approving
appointments
to
the
Minneapolis-St
Paul
International
Airport,
noise
oversight,
committee
and
I
will
see
if
there's
any
discussion
on
these
items
and
I'll
note
for
my
colleagues
that
we
are
using
speaker
management
as
well.
But
if
you're
not
in
there,
you're
interested
in
speaking,
just
put
your
placard
up
and
try
to
make
eye
contact
with
me.
C
Thank
you,
chair
Johnson,
so
I
had
the
opportunity
to
work
with
a
number
of
Staff
I'm,
a
council
members
and
bringing
the
resolution
opposing
the
merger
of
Stanford
health
and
mhealth
Fairview
404
Arkansas
consideration
today,
but
I
also
want
to
thank
the
Community
Partners,
who
are
also
here,
and
you
know
who
has
been
working
tirelessly
to
send
a
message
at
the
Statewide
level
that
we
should
not
be
advancing
corporate
mergers.
So
I
just
want
to
shout
them
out.
C
Thank
you
to
the
Minnesota
Nurses
Association
SEIU
Healthcare,
the
Minnesota
Farmers
Union
and
students
United
for
National
Health
plan
who
all
worked
with
my
office
in
creating
this
resolution.
I
also
want
to
shout
out
the
state
legislators
who
work
to
pass
a
bill.
This
session
Banning
mergers
that
contribute
to
Health
Care
monopolies.
This
is
very
relevant
in
my
award
as
Ward
2
is
home
to
most
of
the
M
Health
Fairview
system,
and
you
know
we
are
very
proud
to
have
a
flagship
institution
in
our
Ward.
C
It's
been
a
leader
in
Research,
Medical,
Education
and
Care,
so
preventing
this
merger
was
definitely
in
the
best
interest
of
patients
and
workers
and
community
members
that
I
get
to
serve
as
well
as
we
collectively
serve
here
on
this
body.
So
with
that,
I
asked
for
my
colleague
support
on
this
resolution
and
again
thank
you
to
all
the
groups.
Who've
really
been
doing
the
on
the
ground
work
to
really
address
the
over
corporate,
well
corporatization
of
our
Health
Care
system.
Thank.
A
You
councilmember
is
there
anyone
else
who
wishes
to
speak
on
the
consent
agenda,
not
seeing
any
all
those
in
approval,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
aye,
those
opposed,
say,
nay,
that
motion
carries
and
next
we
will
move
on
to
our
presentation
by
our
igr
team
on
Federal
and
State
action
affecting
the
City
of
Minneapolis
and
I'll.
Now
invite
our
director
Katie
topinka
to
begin
the
presentation.
E
This
slide
here
shows
the
total
number
of
bills
that
were
introduced
in
the
house
and
the
Senate
by
the
end
of
session,
so
over
3
000
in
both
Chambers.
Many
of
these
bills
ended
up
getting
packaged
into
Omnibus
bills
that
we
will
talk
through.
So
you
see
see
that
75
bills
were
passed,
but
that's
reflective
of
a
number
of
bills
getting
packaged
together
into
these
Omnibus
bills.
E
But
the
legislature
passed
its
two-year
biennial
budget,
which
was
really
the
bulk
of
its
work
and
the
work
that
it
has
to
get
done
in
an
odd
number
of
years
and
we'll
be
talking
more
about.
What's
in
the
budget
package
relevant
to
the
city,
they
also
did
pass
the
capital
investment
package.
They
have
passed
adult
use,
recreational
Cannabis,
which
we've
covered
many
times,
but
Mr
huser
will
give
an
update
on
what
was
included
in
the
final.
The
final
agreed
upon
bill.
They
passed,
Paid
Family,
Leave,
free
School
meals.
E
There
was
one
bill
that
the
governor
vetoed,
that
was
a
bill
related
to
Transportation
Network
companies,
and
it
was
creating
protections
for
for
drivers,
so
primarily
Uber
and
Lyft
drivers
did
pass
in
both
the
House
and
Senate.
The
governor
did
veto
it,
but,
along
with
the
veto,
issued
an
executive
order
to
create
a
work
group
to
bring
recommendations
back
for
next
year
for
for
a
bill
for
driver
protections.
E
So,
as
I
mentioned,
the
biennial
budget
is
a
big
part
of
the
legislature's
work
in
odd
number
of
years.
They
did
pass
a
72
billion
dollar
budget
that
funds
state
government
for
two
years,
and
this
list
here
is
just
all
the
different
Omnibus
bills
that
came
to
come
together
to
make
up
the
biennial
budget.
E
The
tax
bill
also
included
one-time
Public
Safety
Aid,
300
million
dollars
for
cities
and
counties
around
the
state.
The
estimate
is
that,
out
of
that,
Public
Safety
Aid
Minneapolis
will
receive
19
million
dollars.
It's
based
on
a
formula
around
population
and
Steve
will
talk
more
about
the
link.
You
know
the
specifics
of
that
Aid
when
he
talks
about
Public
Safety,
but
that
was
included
as
part
of
the
tax
bill.
The
tax
bill
also
included
an
extension
of
the
historic
structure.
E
Rehabilitation
tax
credit,
it
extended
it
for
eight
years
that
is
retroactive
to
when
it
expired.
So
it's
now
extended
through
2030.,
that's
important
to
the
city,
because
many
of
our
affordable
housing
developments
take
advantage
of
the
historic
tax
credit
to
make,
make
the
numbers
work
and
get
the
projects
done.
E
Another
important
piece
of
the
tax
bill
was
a
pretty
major
change
to
the
renter's
credit,
and
you
know,
as
a
city,
that's
more
than
50
percent
of
households,
our
renter
households.
This
benefits
a
lot
of
our
residents,
so
it
changes
the
renters
credit
and
makes
it
a
credit
as
part
of
an
income
tax
filing.
So
it
makes
it
easy
easier
to
access
and
then
it
also
increases
the
credit
so
for
the
lowest
income
renters,
those
earning
thirty
thousand
or
less.
The
credit
is
up
to
two
thousand
six
hundred
and
forty
dollars
annually.
E
E
The
bill
also
includes
a
one-time
twenty
percent
increase
to
property
tax
refunds
for
both
homeowners
and
renters.
So
that's
a
benefit
for
for
homeowners
as
well,
and
then
I
don't
have
it
on
the
slide
here.
But
of
course,
the
child
tax
credit
was
a
big
part
of
the
tax
bill
that
is
aimed
at
reducing
poverty
for
families
of
Minnesota,
one
other
component
of
the
tax
bill.
E
E
So
those
two
things
come
kind
result
in
8.7
million
dollars
of
relief
for
the
City
of
Minneapolis
as
part
of
the
stadium
being
paid
off.
We
do
still
have
obligations
to
the
stadium
for
Capital
and
operating
that
come
out
of
the
local
sales
tax.
One
other
obligation
that
we
have
is
what
we
refer
to
as
purpose
five,
because
in
the
original
Stadium
deal
there
were
five
purposes
that
Minneapolis
was
responsible
for
so
purpose.
Five
is
taxes.
E
The
original
language
was
that
it
was
tax,
increased
taxes
for
the
benefit
of
msfa,
which
is
the
Minnesota
sports
facilities
Authority
and
the
language
was
not
super
clear
around
like
what
the
purpose
of
those
funds
were
from
our
perspective,
and
so
what
the
legislature
did.
We.
We
asked
that
purpose
just
to
be
clear.
F
E
All
of
you,
we
did
ask
as
part
of
our
request
that
purpose
five
be
eliminated.
That
did
not
happen,
but
they
did.
The
legislature
did
cap
this
purpose
at
a
three
percent
year-over-year
growth,
so
because
it
and
sorry
this
is
very
convoluted,
but
that's
sort
of
how
these
formulas
are
are
complicated,
but
purple.
It
was
capturing,
increased
taxes
and
grew
pretty
significantly
over
time.
Based
on
our
projections,
we're
projecting
that
it
would
grow
pretty
significantly
over
time.
Capturing
tax
growth.
E
This
caps
that
at
three
percent
year-over-year
growth,
which
we
our
finance
department
projects,
will
save
us
well.
350
million
is
the
total
between
the
8.7
million
per
year
in
relief
and
the
projected
savings
from
the
purpose,
five
cap,
and
so
it
and
then
they
also
changed
the
language
to
say
that
purpose
five
must
be
used
for
Capital
expenses.
E
So
all
that
to
say
we
did
receive
relief
around
U.S
Bank
Stadium
from
the
state
retiring.
The
construction
bonds
early
wasn't
quite
as
much
relief
as
we
had
requested,
but
but
we
are
still
pleased
that
it's
pretty
significant
relief
for
Minneapolis,
taxpayers
and
and
the
Minneapolis
delegation
worked
really
hard
to
to
get
get
this
on
behalf
of
the
city.
E
A
A
E
This
is
the
second
time
we've
received
Capital
investment
dollars
from
the
state
for
that
project
and
I.
Think
most
of
you
are
familiar
with
it,
but
it's
you
know:
updating
the
100
year
old,
storm
water
tunnel
that
runs
underneath
downtown,
and
so
that
project's
already
underway-
and
this
will
help
us
be
able
to
to
complete
that
project.
E
E
E
E
In
addition
to
these
funds
that
were
in
the
capital
investment
Bill,
there
was
two
million
dollars
in
the
tax
bill,
that
is,
for
a
down
payment
and
the
holding
costs
toward
the
community
purchase
of
the
site.
So
it's
sort
of
on
behalf
of
the
community
and
then
the
other
part
of
the
agreement
is
that
the
community
has,
until
September
8th
of
this
year,
to
demonstrate
that
it
has
raised
3.7
million
dollars
toward
half
of
the
purchase
price.
E
And
then,
if
they're,
able
to
do
that,
the
legislature
has
committed
that
next
year
they
will
fund
the
other
half
of
that
price.
So
City,
attorneys
and
Community
are
working
together
on
details
of
a
purchase
agreement.
But
that's
that's
what
this
4.5
million
is
related
to
that
that
roof
Depot
agreement.
E
In
addition
to
those
projects
that
are
directly
to
the
City
of
Minneapolis,
there
was
88.7
million
dollars
in
the
bonding
bill
for
non-profit
projects
that
are
located
in
Minneapolis,
and
it's
a
number
of
things
that
the
city
also
has
you
know,
funded
or
or
cares
about,
and
so
some
examples
are
the
Simpson
shelter
and
agates
shelter.
The
cultural
Wellness
Center,
the
indigenous
people's
task
force
development
that
is,
is
actually
being
built
on
property
that
City
owned,
that
we've
granted
exclusive
development
rights
for
so
a
lot
of
projects.
E
We're
able
to
get
funded
through
this
bill.
There's
also
72
million
dollars
for
public
housing.
Rehabilitation
Statewide
that
public
housing
authorities,
including
mphj,
will
be
eligible
to
apply
for
and
Indira
is
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
public
housing
funding
in
the
Housing
section,
and
then
there's
also
10
million
dollars
for
local
tree
planting
Statewide.
E
G
Thank
you,
chair,
Johnson,
yeah
I
was
just
curious,
whether
it's
the
capital
investment
dollars
or
the
you
know,
relief
we're
getting
for
the
stadium.
How
does
that
impact
our
current?
You
know
Sip,
and
how
does
that
impact
our
general
fund?
So,
if
we're
having
these
savings
from
Bond
payments,
does
that
mean
those
net
dollars
are
available
within
the
general
fund
or
I'm
just
curious.
E
Sure
at
chair,
Johnson,
council
member
Payne,
so
specifically
on
the
stadium
that
the
funds
that
this
so
the
state
retains
funds
on
behalf
of
the
city
for
the
stadium
that
are
coming
out
of
our
four
of
our
five
local
sales
taxes
and
those
funds.
The
state
retains
them
retains
them
for
the
payments
that
we
had
for
U.S,
Bank
Stadium
and
then
give
them
back
to
the
city
and
the
funds
going
to
the
downtown
assets
fund.
E
And
then
the
downtown
assets
fund
has
specific
purposes
that
it's
used
for
that
are
determined
by
accounts
by
City
policy
that
the
council
adopts,
and
so
it
starts
by
funding
things
like
the
convention
center
Target
Center
our
downtown
assets.
But
then,
if
there
are
funds
remaining
after
that,
then
City
policy
dictates
what
they
can
be
used
for,
and
it
is,
it
is
pretty
broad
it
you
know,
can
be
used
for
things
like
Economic,
Development
projects
and
and
other
things.
So
that's
so
so
the
savings
from
the
stadium.
H
Councilmember
Payne
the
downtown
assets
fund
has
a
waterfall,
so
essentially
it
has
to
pay
for
the
convention
center
debt.
Then
it
has
to
pay
for
the
targets
on
our
debt
that
it
has
to
pay
for
operations
of
PV
Plaza
after
the
stadium.
So
we
have
drained
the
downtown
assets
fund
and
moved
some
of
that
money
to
the
general
fund
during
the
pandemic.
So
there
was
no
income
in
it.
So
I
would
guess.
The
downtown
assets
fund
is
just
at
the
point
where
it's
paying
off
the
debt
that
we
have.
H
It's
not
like
a
fund
of
money
that
sits
there,
but
it
could
be
if
there
was
money
that
was
there,
it
would
go
to
Economic,
Development
broadly
defined.
So
unfortunately,
it's
not
like
a
pool
of
money
as
much
as
it
is
a
way
to
pay
off
debt
on
these
assets
that
were
put
in
place
over
20
30
years
and
I
would
guess
that
we
would
probably
have
demands
on
the
Convention,
Center
and
Target
Center
right
around
the
corner.
Unfortunately,.
E
All
right,
thank
you,
chair
Johnson,
so
now
we're
going
to
start
diving
into
the
details
of
the
budget
bills,
I'm
going
to
cover
state
and
local
government
and
economic
development,
and
then
I
will
turn
it
over
to
India
I,
believe
yeah
is
next,
and
so
the
state
local
government
bill
and
elections
that
was
packaged
into
one
bill.
One
of
the
things
that
we
were
tracking,
as
it
is
part,
was
part
of
our
legislative
agenda.
Is
the
political
subdivision
compensation
limit
that
is
repealed.
E
That
was
the
limit
that
used
to
be
in
place
that
had
a
compensation
limit
on
how
much
local
officials
can
be
paid
and
if
we
wanted
to
go
above
that
limit,
we
needed
to
submit
an
appeal
to
MMB
that
is
now
repealed,
and
so
it's
no
longer
in
Statute.
In
addition
to
that,
there
were
a
number
of
Elections
Provisions
in
the
state
and
local
government
bill.
E
There's
some
funding
for
for
pulling
places
to
become
more
accessible,
there's
voting
technology
funding,
and
these
are
things
that
are
grants
that
the
city
could
potentially
apply
for.
There's
also
a
provision
to
provide
more
protections
for
election
officials
against
intimidation
and
interference.
E
There
is
a
new
trainee
election
judge
program
and
it
expands
the
eligibility
for
individuals
under
18,
who
are
at
least
16
to
be
able
to
be
trained
and
serve
as
election
judges,
and
then
it
also
includes
a
provision
that
we've
talked
about
previously.
That
would
help
individuals
in
post-secondary
institutions
register
to
vote,
so
I
will
move
on
to
Economic
Development
unless
there
any
questions
on
that
slide.
C
I
E
Sure,
chair,
Johnson,
councilmember
Chavez,
so
prior
to
this
bill
being
signed
into
law,
there
was
in-state
statute
a
limit
on
how
much
local
officials
could
be
compensated
and
it
was
based
off
I'm
going
to
probably
get
this
slightly
wrong,
but
it
was
based
off
a
percentage
of
the
governor's,
salary,
I
think
or
certain
percentage
over
the
governor's
salary,
and
they
have
now
the
the
legislature
repealed
that
section
of
statutes.
So
now
there
is
no
longer
a
compensation
limit
in
state
statute.
I
E
I
C
C
I
of
course,
I'm
biased,
because
I
have
the
largest
concentration
of
college
students
in
my
War.
So
there
is,
you
know
the
benefit
of
tens
of
thousands
of
work
to
students
who
you
know
live,
play.
Work
study
in
this
area
who
now
do
not
have
to
face
an
additional
barrier
to
exercise
one
of
their
key
civil
liberties,
which
is
the
right
to
vote.
So
I'm
really
excited
that
our
folks
was
able
to
move
this
and
be
a
really
great
North
Star
within
the
north.
E
Okay,
I'm
going
to
briefly
cover
the
economic
development,
jobs
and
labor
Bill,
and
then
turn
it
over
to
Ms
Falana
to
talk
about
the
issues
that
she
covers
for
our
team
and
there
was
a
lot
in
this
bill,
but
I
just
wanted
to
pull
out
some
things.
There
was
funding
for
economic
recovery
in
the
City
of
Minneapolis.
It's
not
funding!
That's
coming
directly
to
the
city,
it
will
be
administered
by
Metropolitan,
Economic,
Development,
Association
or
Meda,
and
the
neighborhood
Development
Center
NDC.
These
are
both
organizations,
the
City
Works
very
closely
with
and
anticipate.
E
E
In
addition
to
that
funding
in
the
economic
development
Bill,
there
was
also
eight
million
dollars
in
the
tax
bill
that
is
going
to
flow
through
the
city,
but
to
go
to
a
foundation
to
provide
support
for
business
recovery
on
Lake
Street,
and
so
we
will
be
working
with
the
Department
of
Employment
and
economic
development
to
to
figure
out
how
to
get
those
funds
out
the
door.
But
that's
another
piece
of
economic
recovery
funding
that
was
in
the
tax
bill.
E
In
addition
to
the
economic
recovery
funding,
the
the
bill
establishes
an
office
of
new
Americans
and
that
office
will
be
housed
in
the
Department
of
Employment
and
economic
development
and
help
new
arrivals
to
to
Minnesota
to
the
country
and
then
to
Minnesota
to
get
connected
to
Workforce
opportunities
and
other
services.
The
bill
also
establishes
an
office
of
Child
Care,
Community
Partnerships,
which
is
aimed
at
helping
develop
more
child
care
services
in
communities.
Statewide.
E
There
are
the
jobs
and
labor
Provisions
were
pretty
comprehensive
in
the
bill
as
well.
The
it
included
the
Statewide
earned
sick
and
safe
time,
which
is
going
to
require
that
all
employees,
regardless
of
full
or
part-time
status
or
seasonal
status,
receive
one
hour
of
paid
to
come.
Save
time
for
every
30
hours
worked
for
an
accumulation
of
up
to
48
Hours
a
year,
and
it
does
not.
The
the
state
law
does
not
prohibit
employers
from
adopting
policies
that
go
beyond
this,
but
this
is
the
the
floor
that
the
state
has
set.
E
It
does
require
City
to
authorize
these
dwellings
as
a
permitted
use
or
conditional
use.
As
long
as
the
criteria
that
are
outlined
in
the
bill
are
met.
Some
of
those
criteria
are
appropriate
insurance
coverage
between
one-third
and
40
percent
of
the
units
being
occupied
by
volunteers
and
a
plan
provided
to
the
city
outlining
disposal
of
water
and
sewage
parking
and
emergency
vehicle
access
and
severe
weather
protocols.
E
C
You
Cheryl
Johnson
if
we
could
go
back
to
slide
8
the
economic
development
and
jobs
and
labor
one
for
eight
million
dollars
for
the
Lake
Street
recovery.
I
know
in
Prior
legislation
that
was
going
towards
Main
Street.
It
sounds
like
the
same
kind
of
framework
to
the
Minneapolis
Foundation,
which
there
was
lots
of
concerns.
Is
there
consideration
for
moving
forward
with
that
same
philanthropic,
Organization
for
this
Lake
Street
recovery
allocation
too?
Or
are
you
all
looking
at
other
potential
philanthropic
organizations.
E
Sharon
Johnson
and
council
member
wansley,
the
the
bill
language
designates
the
specific
activities
that
the
funding
can
be
used
for
it
says
it
needs
to
go
to
a
foundation.
One
of
the
things
we're
talking
about
with
deed
is
is
how
that
that
when
I
say
we
I
mean
Community,
planning
and
economic
development
is
talking
about
with
deed
is,
is
how
do
we
make
that
determination?
E
Do
we
need
to
have
any
sort
of
process,
or
are
we
able
to
designate
a
foundation,
so
I
think
we're
still
kind
of
sorting
through
those
details
with
with
the
state
to
make
sure
we're
complying
with
the
state's
Grant
guidelines
that
they'll
give
us,
but,
but
so
the
short
answer
is
I
think
we're
still
figuring
that
out
with
deed,
but
but
the
the
uses
are
very
clearly
defined
in
the
legislation.
That's.
C
Correct
I
think
I
made
this
a
word
to
you.
You
know
several
months
ago,
because
Lake
Street
folks
races
as
a
primary
concern
of
the
20
million
dollar
that
was
given
in
Prior
sessions
around
Lake
Street
recovery.
People
did
not
see
a
dime
of
that
and
there
was
lots
of
concerns
of
the
same
organization.
I.
Think
that's.
C
My
next
question
was
around
the
office
of
Child
Care
Community
Partnerships,
which
I'm
really
really
excited
to
see.
This
I
think
I've
shared
part
of
the
coming
here.
I
worked
with
the
number
of
child
care
organizations
to
advance
legislation
at
the
Capitol
around
Universal,
Channel,
child
care
and
Pre-K,
and
this
was
one
of
the
things
that
came
up
of.
We
should
not
have
child
care
services
put
in
DHS
and
it's
just
been
a
mess,
and
a
lot
of
folks
did
not
want
to
create
a
new
office
at
the
time.
C
So
I'm
super
excited
that
our
legislators
move
forward
with
this,
but
in
the
Guides
of
that,
knowing
that
Minneapolis
does
also
have
a
child
care
desert
and
just
like
the
ranch,
Child
Care
is
expensive
as
hell.
So
while
we're
establishing
this
new
department,
is
there
also
allocations
being
put
in
that
office?
C
That
cities
like
Minneapolis
can
apply
to
because
I
think
also
part
of
this
legislation
was
addressing
the
workforce
Dynamics
because
we
also
not
only
have
a
child
care
deserts,
but
our
child
care
workers
are
some
of
the
most
underpaid
workers
in
in
across
all
Industries
they're,
not
even
earning
minimum
wage.
So
I
know
there
was
pieces
of
legislation
address
that
part,
but
alleviating
the
burden
on
parents
to
or
families
that's
having
to
pay.
E
C
That
would
be
great.
It
might
also
be
relevant
to
Poland
some
of
the
folks
from
public
health
and
safety
and
our
director
of
pH,
because
it's
this
is
one
of
big
priority
of
us.
I
know
like
the
young
residence
that
exits
in
my
War,
who
have
small
families
or
small
children,
so
it'll
be
good
because
yeah
child
care
I
mean
the
EA
for
child
care,
but
not
yay
for
the
tens
of
thousands
of
dollars
that
I'm
pretty
sure
some
of
y'all
are
paying
on
this
diet
for
your
babies.
G
Thank
you,
chair
Johnson,
on
the
next
slide.
I
think
there
is
a
bullet
point
about
the
the
micro
unit,
dwellings
and
I'm
curious,
how
that
interacts
with
our
intentional
Community
cluster
development
regulations
and
if
it's
making
it
easier
to
do
this
or
clarifying
some
things.
I
have
actually
I
actually
have
a
project
in
my
ward
with
a
church
that
wants
to
do
some
micro
units
I'm
curious.
How
responsive
this
is
to
some
of
their
concerns.
E
Chair
Johnson,
councilmember,
Payne
I'm,
not
exactly
sure
and
I,
don't
know
if
Mr
Nielsen
knows
either
as
our
expert
on
on
zoning
up
here,
but
I
think
we
have
to
look
at
that
a
little
bit
more
with
our
planning
department
and
figure
out
how
it
interacts
with
our
ordinance.
But
we
can
follow
up
with
you
on
that.
I
Troy
Johnson
on
slide
a
I
just
want
to
give
a
big
shout
out
to
representative
Aisha
Gomez,
the
chair
of
the
text
me
for
the
house
in
regards
to
the
eight
million
dollars
on
Lake
Street.
She
worked
really
hard
at
the
last
hour
and
it's
something
that
now
our
city
is
going
to
get
to
see
and
work
really
hard
to
make
sure
that
our
small
businesses
are
being
taken
care
of
on
the
Lake
Street
Corridor.
So
she
worked
really
hard
and
I
think
that
her
work
at
the
end
of
last
minute.
I
A
J
Good
morning,
chair
Johnson,
council
members,
my
name
is
Indira
Falana
government
relations,
representative
I,
will
be
continuing
on
with
the
presentation
highlighting
the
next
set
of
budget
and
policy
items,
but
first
wanted
to
take
some
time
to
highlight
just
some
of
the
equity
related
Provisions
that
pass
this
legislative
session.
Some
of
these
policy
changes
are
things
that
folks
have
been
advocating
for
for
many
many
years,
and
these
are
wins
and
they're
a
big
deal.
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
a
few
of
them,
so
the
first
is
restore
the
vote.
J
So
this
restores
the
voting
rights
to
convicted
felons
as
soon
as
they
get
out
of
prison.
Instead
of
continuing
to
require
them
to
complete
their
parole
before
they
can
cast
a
ballot
they're,
the
disproportionate
amount
of
people
of
color
were
formally
incarcerated,
so
this
will
reintegrate
former
inmates
back
to
society
by
providing
them
with
their
right
to
vote,
and
this
this
law
will
go
into
effect
soon
on
July
1st
of
this
year,
and
it
will
allow
as
many
as
55
000
formally
incarcerated
felons
to
vote
next
is
driver's
licenses
for
all.
J
So
this
would
allow
All
State
residents
to
obtain
a
driver's
license
regardless
of
immigration
status,
and
this
law
will
go
into
effect
on
October
1st
of
this
year,
and
this
is
for
drivers
license
and
Minnesota
identification
card
applications
and
issuance
next
is
the
crown
apps
and
the
crown
act
stands
for
creating
a
respectful
and
open
world
for
natural
hair,
and
this
act
prohibits
discrimination
based
on
natural
hair
in
the
workplace.
This
updates
the
Minnesota
Human
Rights
Act
to
include
hairstyle
and
texture.
J
Next
is
the
Juneteenth
holiday.
This
makes
it
now
an
official
state
holiday
in
the
state
of
Minnesota,
and
while
Juneteenth
became
a
Federal
holiday
in
2021,
Most
states
didn't
recognize
that
as
a
paid
holiday
in
this
Juneteenth
primaries
the
end
of
slavery
in
the
United
States.
Next
we
have
the
Minnesota
care
inclusion
act,
so
this
expands
eligibility
to
undocumented
minnesotans
and
provides
them
with
the
opportunity
to
enroll
in
Minnesota
care
and
contribute
to
their
coverage
at
the
same
affordable
premiums
paid
by
other
minnesotans
at
their
income
level.
This
will
go
into
effect,
January
2025.
J
and
then
next
we
have
the
pro
act.
This
stands
for
protecting
reproductive
options.
So
this
enshrines
in
state
law
the
rights
to
abortion
and
reproductive
care
options
for
all
minnesotans.
We
are
the
first
state
to
do
such
a
thing:
post,
Roe,
v,
Wade,
and
this
was
signed
into
law
in
January
and
it
went
into
effect
immediately
and
then
next
we
have
the
conversion
therapy
band.
So
this
prohibits
mental
health
professionals
from
providing
therapy
and
a
changing
a
person's
sexual
orientation
or
gender
identity.
J
J
Next
we
have
gender
affirming
care,
so
this
prevents
state
courts
or
officials
from
complying
with
child
removal,
requests,
extraditions,
arrests
or
subpoenas
related
to
gender,
affirming
health
care
that
a
person
receives
in
Minnesota.
This
also
is
signed
into
law
in
April
and
immediately
went
into
effect,
we'll
pause
for
any
questions.
All.
C
You
chair
Johnson,
so
just
for
Juneteenth,
because
I
actually
gotten
some
inquiries
about
that
from
city
employees
that
I
I
know
in
the
2021
ordinance
actually
spelled
out
that
the
implementation
will
happen
on
a
Friday,
so
workers
would
get
that
Friday
off,
because
I
believe
Juneteenth
was
on
a
Saturday
from
my
from
my
understanding
is,
maybe
our
city
attorneys
might
know.
Are
our
city
employees
going
to
be
working
on
the
19th
I
know
that's
happening
in
some
government
agencies
and
that's
creating
a
bit
of
concern
since
that
it's
not
on
a
weekend.
C
A
Thank
you,
council,
member
and
I'll
check
in
with
our
City
attorney,
but
I'm,
not
sure
if
we
will
have
anyone
here
to
answer
that
question
from
the
administration
but
Mr
Nelson,
are
you
able
Mr,
chair,
I,
I,
think
I
know
as
much
as
anyone
else.
Probably
in
the
room,
and
my
assumption
is
Monday
is
a
holiday.
C
A
J
And
continuing
on
with
the
presentation,
so
the
housing
Bill
included
one
billion
dollars,
which
is
the
largest
single
investment
in
State
history.
The
legislature
passed
several
Lieutenant
protection
laws
as
part
of
the
public
safety
bill.
So
I
will
begin
this
section
of
my
presentation
with
the
budget
items.
First
then
move
into
tenant
protection
policy
changes
and
conclude
with
discussing
the
targeted
funding
for
shelters.
J
So
first
we
have
the
Metro
sales
tax.
So
there
was
a
lack
of
ongoing
investments
in
this
budget,
mainly
mostly
one-time
funding
of
the
programs
in
the
housing
budget.
So
because
of
this,
a
Metro
sales
tax
was
proposed
so
this.
So
this
is
a
quarter,
Cent
metro-wide
sales
tax
and
that
and
it
will
fund
Housing
Programs.
So
the
sales
tax
proceeds
breakdown
is
as
follows.
So
we
have
25
percent
going
into
a
Metro
City
Aid
account.
J
The
estimate
is
about
42
million
dollars
annually.
For
that
and
next
we
have
housing
infrastructure
bonds.
So
the
final
bill
included
100
million
dollars
annually
for
these
bonds,
and
these
are
issued
through
Minnesota
Housing,
Finance,
Agency
or
mhfa,
and
the
funds
are
used
for
construction
acquisition,
Rehabilitation
of
permanent
rental
housing
and
then
next
we
have
the
family,
homeless,
prevention
and
assistance
program.
So
there's
about
65
million
dollars
available
annually
for
this
program
and
these
funds
provide
a
direct
assistance
such
as
covering
rents,
Utility
payments
and
other
housing
costs
they're.
J
The
separate
bill
that
moved
earlier
on
this
legislative
session
that
included
about
50
million
dollars
in
emergency
rental
assistance,
and
that
was
to
get
in
the
hands
of
folks
who
are
cost
burdened
and
needed,
and
then
next
we
have
rental
assistance.
There
was
this
was
a
Statewide
campaign
known
as
the
bring
it
home
campaign,
so
this
creates
a
state-based
rental
assistance
program
to
fill
the
gap
so
that
everyone
who
qualifies
for
a
federal
Housing
Voucher
receives
one.
J
This
is
being
funded
in
one-time
money
for
46
million
dollars
and,
as
previously
mentioned,
the
revenue
from
the
Metro
sales
tax
will
go
into
this
program
to
keep
it
ongoing
and
sustain
it.
And
next
we
have
the
lead,
safe
homes
grant
program.
So
there's
four
million
dollars
in
one-time
funding
for
this
program,
and
this
is
going
to
be
run
by
mhfa
to
assess
and
mitigate
lead
hazards
and
multi-famil
multi-family
rental
properties,
where
at
least
half
of
the
tenants
have
an
income
at
or
below
60,
Ami
or
area
media
income.
J
The
multi-family
properties
must
have
been
built
before
1978
and
the
funding
is
for
lead,
testing
and
risk
assessments,
and
then
next
we
have
the
high-rise
sprinkler
grant
program.
This
also
will
be
run
by
mhfa
in
order
to
fund
sprinkler
installation
I'm
in
buildings,
with
housing
units
located
at
least
75
75
feets
above
fire
department,
vehicle
access
and
there's
10
million
dollars
available
in
this
program.
In
one
time
funding,
and
then
there
is
a
direct
carve
out.
J
So
four
million
dollars
of
this
will
go
to
Common
Bond
communities
for
installation
of
sprinklers
at
Seward,
towered,
West
and
Sewer
Tower
East
in
Minneapolis,
then
next
we
have
the
first
generation
down
payment
assistance
program,
so
this
is
targeted
funding
for
first
generation
home
buyers
who
do
not
have
access
to
generational
wealth.
This
is
a
one-time
appropriation
of
150
million
dollars
and
there's
two
chunks
of
funding.
They're
vary
and
they're
slightly
different,
so
50
million
will
go
through
mhfa
and
the
agency
will
partner
with
cdfis
credit
unions,
not
profits,
and
there.
J
The
criteria
for
the
program
is
at
is
as
follows.
So
this
loan
may
be
provided
as
either
a
forgivable
or
deferred
loan,
or
a
combination
of
both
assistance
is
the
greater
of
10
of
the
purchase
price
of
a
home
or
thirty
five
thousand
dollars.
Homes
purchased
with
these
funds
must
either
be
to
purchase
one
to
four
unit.
Homes
and
income
must
be
at
below
115
percent
Ami.
J
So
the
loan
is
limited
to
10
of
the
purchase
price
must
not
exceed
thirty
two
thousand
dollars.
The
loan
is
forgivable.
At
a
rate
of
20
percent
per
year
on
the
day
after
the
anniversary
date
of
the
note
homes
purchased
with
these
funds
must
be
either
one
or
two
unit
homes
and
credit,
and
the
I'll
continue
on
with
the
criteria.
So
income
is
below
100
of
Ami.
J
You
must
be
pre-approved
for
the
first
mortgage
loan
reside
in
the
home
being
purchased,
complete
a
home
buyer
education
course
never
owned
a
home
or
owned
a
home,
but
lost
it
due
to
foreclosure,
and
your
parent.
Legal
guardian
must
have
never
owned
a
home
or
owned
a
home,
but
lost
it
due
to
foreclosure
and
then
next
we
have
the
community
stabilization
program,
also
known
as
NOAA
and
actually
occurring
affordable
housing.
So
there
is
45
million
dollars
in
funding
available
annually
for
this
program
and
the
next
we
have
public
housing
Rehabilitation.
J
So
there's
15
million
dollars
in
this
pot
of
money
for
all
public
housing
authorities
to
access
through
mhfa
to
preserve
and
rehabilitates
their
deeply
affordable
housing
units
and
of
this
five
million
dollars.
It
will
go
to
into
a
direct
appropriation
to
the
Minneapolis
public
housing
authority
for
the
same
purposes
and
then,
lastly,
on
the
slide,
this
is
simply
a
policy,
a
change
in
the
fiscal
impact.
This
is
the
longer
period
of
affordability,
so
Minnesota
State
Statute
arguably
limits
our
ability
to
enforce
affordability
through
a
declaration
for
more
than
30
years.
C
You
chair,
Johnson
I,
just
wanted
to
flag
the
sprinklers
program
which
I
was
excited
to
see,
especially
since
this
body
took
action
on
funding
the
last
allocation
needed
for
the
high-rise
towers
of
of
our
public
housing
portfolios.
So
being
able
to
see
that
the
state
is
also
looking
at
creating
this
fund
to
do
that,
Statewide,
Rehabilitation
and
also
looking
at
the
non-public
housing
but
most
affordable
housing
developments
that
we
have
in
the
city
and
make
sure
no
one
dies
by
fire
in
those.
C
In
support
of
this
sorry,
a
little
bit
loud
Whispering,
but
we
testified
in
support
of
this
and
really
was
excited
to
see
this
5
million
come
forward
and
that's
the
state
stepping
up
her
usual
as
they
done
this
session
and
I'm
really
excited
that
they
saw
themselves
as
a
key
partner
in
funding
our
public
housing.
We
now
also
have
to
match
that
energy
and
use
every
tool
that
our
disposal
to
fully
fund
our
public
housing,
especially
a
capital
backlog.
One
of
those
tools
is
fully
funding
a
public
housing
Levy.
C
So
I
look
forward
to
talking
to
my
colleagues
about
that,
but
I'm
really
really
just
excited
for
us
to
finally
start
doing
this,
sadly
unprecedented
work
of
prioritizing
our
public
housing
units,
which
are
the
gold
standards
of
affordable
housing
in
the
state
and
in
the
city.
So
thank
you
all.
You
know
for
working
with
our
Statewide
legislators
to
make
sure
that
that
was
a
priority
and
those
dollars
went
towards
that
priority.
J
Right
so
tenant
protections.
So
unless
otherwise
stated
everything
that
I'm
going
to
mention
here
is
effective.
As
of
January
1st
2024.,
this
isn't
everything,
but
these
are
the
main
items.
So
a
landlord
cannot
refuse
to
rent
a
rental
unit
or
require
a
current
renter
to
declaw
or
devocalize.
Their
animal
landlords
must
disclose
non-optional
fees,
along
with
the
rent
on
the
first
page
of
the
lease,
as
well
as
in
any
advertisement
or
posting
of
a
unit
for
residential
tenancy.
J
J
So
for
the
move
on
inspection,
a
written
notice
must
be
given
to
the
tenant
about
the
inspection,
and
this
must
be
done
within
five
days
before
the
move
out
dates.
This
will
allow
the
tenant
to
remedy
any
deficiencies.
To
avoid
having
money
taken
out
of
the
deposit
next
stronger
privacy
rules,
a
landlord
must
give
their
tenant
24-hour
notice
before
entering
their
unit.
J
For
non-emergency
reasons,
time
of
Entry
can
only
be
between
8
AM
and
8
PM
unless
the
landlord
and
tenant
agreed
to
an
earlier
or
later
on
time,
the
right
to
Council
on
public
housing
breach
of
lease
eviction.
So
this
will
become
effective
on
August
1st
of
this
year,
and
the
city
already
has
a
right
to
council
policy,
but
this
obviously
is
now
Statewide.
So
this
ensures
that
our
local
or
low
income
residents
facing
eviction
have
the
legal
representation.
They
need
to
support
them
through
the
courts
process,
and
then
we
have
a
heat
code
minimum.
J
So
the
city
already
has
a
policy
like
this,
but
this
is
now
Statewide.
So
this
that's
a
standard,
Statewide
68
degrees,
Fahrenheit
heat
minimum
in
apartments
from
October
1st
to
April
30th.
If
the
tenant
does
not
control
their
own
Heats
and
then
for
emergency
repair.
So
this
just
expands
the
category
of
emergency
repairs
for
which
court
court
proceedings
are
expedited
to
include,
but
not
be
limited
to
no
working
refrigerator,
serious
infestations
and
a
non-working
air
conditioning.
J
If
the
rental
was
advertised
as
having
air
conditioning
and
including
the
lease
and
then
next,
we
have
reduced
court
fees,
so
emergency
tenant
remedies,
action,
lockout,
petition
filing
fees
will
be
the
same
as
the
lower
small
claims
court
filing
fee,
making
it
more
accessible
for
tenants
facing
series
and
immediate
housing
repairs.
Pre-Eviction
protections.
J
So
this
allows
tenants
to
break
their
lease
if
the
tenant
requires
assistance
with
daily
living,
meets
the
nursing
facility
care
criteria
or
has
a
disability
related
to
mental
illness
and
the
Tenant
or
in
the
tenant,
enter
the
nursing
home,
hospice
care
and
licensed
sporting
Care
Facility
assisted
living,
adult
foster
care,
intensive
mental
health,
residential
program
or
accessible
units.
So
this
requires
a
two
months:
a
two-month
notice
of
the
landlord,
along
with
a
copy
of
the
medical
professionals,
written
documentation.
C
J
D
D
We
have
to
find
a
way
to
educate
and
maybe
to
make
sure
the
landlords
are
when
they,
when
the
resident
is
signing
contracts,
they
have
those
rights
in
paper
or
in
writing,
and
I
encourage
the
city
Minneapolis
to
kind
of
take
a
lead
and
educate
communities,
and
this
is
all
great
things
that
we
see.
But
you
know
landlords
do
not
really
respect
these
rules
that
we
have
and
residents
continue
to
suffer
evictions
and
mistreatment
for
their
rights
and
I
I,
witness
that
I
have
over
90
plus
percent
renters
in
my
district.
D
F
Thank
you,
chair
Johnson,
really
appreciate
this
presentation
and
walking
us
through
what
each
of
these
different
items
really
means.
I'm
wondering
if
you
can
spend
a
little
bit
more
time,
explaining
the
ending
a
lease
when
medically
necessary
and
like
what
sorts
of
what
sorts
of
instances
or
cases
would
be,
would
be
allowed
under
this
I
know
you
went
over
a
high
level
just
trying
to
get
a
little
bit
more,
because
this
is.
F
F
F
If
documentation
is,
is
provided
from
Medical
Professional,
that
kind
of
I
guess
corroborates
the
need
to
end
that
lease,
the
the
Clauses
within
that
lease.
Usually
that
that
say
like,
if
you
end
this
lease
before
it's
it's
life
is
over.
Then
you
have
to
you,
know:
pay
an
additional
fee
or
pay
additional
months
of
rent
that
that
would
this
protects
against
that
right.
J
F
J
J
About
some
other
Provisions,
so
emergency
shelter
funding,
so
this
is
all
one-time.
Operational
funding
was
included
in
the
Health
and
Human
Services
budget.
So
this
funding
is
to
ensure
that
we
have
continuing
24,
7
operations
and
services
for
avivo
Village,
which
received
4.5
million
dollars.
American
Indian
Community,
Development
corporations,
Homeward
Bound
shelter.
They
receive
two
million
dollars,
Simpson
housing
received
450,
000
and
then
I
get
housing
received
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
and
as
director
topinka
already
mentioned
earlier
on,
there
also
was
bonding
dollars
given
to
Simpson
housing
and
agate,
both
for
five
million
dollars.
J
And
next
I'll
be
moving
on
to
environment.
So
first
I'll
start
off
by
talking
about
the
funding
that's
available
to
address
Emerald
Ash
were
so
there's
7.9
million
dollars
available
for
this
program,
which
was
established
by
the
Minnesota
Department
of
resources
and
the
and
the
funds
will
help
address.
Reforestation
needs
created
by
Emerald,
Ash,
Boren
other
tree
pests
and
diseases
through
tree
removal
and
tree
planting
funds
for
this
program
are
only
available
through
June,
30th,
2027.
J
and
then
pesticide
local
control.
So
this
allows
cities
only
the
first
class
to
adopt
or
enforce
a
full
prohibition
with
with
penalties
on
the
use
of
pollinator
lethal
pesticides,
with
the
exception
of
pet
care,
personal
care,
indoor,
pest
control,
products,
pesticide
treated
wood
and
wood,
preservative
pesticides
using
in
specific
settings,
and
then
certain
pesticides
used
by
the
Metropolitan
mosquito
control
district
to
protect
Public,
Health
pesticides
used
to
control
or
eradicate
Weeds
on
the
state's
weed
list
or
pesticides
used
for
agricultural
production
within
an
agricultural
use.
J
Zone
first
class
cities
must
consult
with
the
Commissioner
of
Agriculture
before
adopting
such
an
ordinance
and
then
for
non-first-class
State
cities.
They
can
only
adapt
that
warning
signs.
Be
put
up
in
places
in
which
a
pollinator
lethal
pesticides
were
used
and
they
can
also
enforce
penalties.
If
that
is
not
the
case,
next,
we
have
the
cumulative
impacts,
so
so
a
cumulative
environmental
impact
analysis
is
now
required
to
be
conducted
for
certain
permit
decisions
that
may
affect
an
environmental
justice
area,
and
it
requires
an
mpca
commissioner
to
deny
a
permanent
application.
J
If
the
analysis
shows
that
issuing
it
would
contribute
to
cumulative
adverse
environmental
stresses
in
the
area,
and
there
is
2.5
million
dollars
available
in
funding
for
implementation
of
this
program,
and
then
next
we
have
Community
error
monitoring.
So
a
pilot
grant
program
for
Community
air
monitoring
systems
is
established
through
the
mpca
to
measure
air
pollution
levels
at
many
locations
within
a
community.
J
And
then
next
we
have
the
recipient
of
settlement
money.
So
whenever
the
mpca
recovers
more
than
250
000
from
litigation
or
settlement
agreement
regarding
a
permit
violation,
40
of
the
money
must
be
transferred
to
a
community
health
board
or
local
public
health
agency.
In
the
area
where
residents
may
have
been
exposed
to
the
pollution,
that
was
the
subject
of
litigation
or
settlement,
and
then
our
city
is
an
example
of
this,
because
in
the
past
we've
received
funds
from
the
settlement
regarding
northern
Metals
Recycling
and
then
next
we
have
air
toxic,
toxics
emissions
reporting.
J
So
this
requires
the
mpca
to
collect
emissions
data
annually
from
facilities
that
emit
toxic
chemicals
into
the
ambient
air,
and
then
next
we
have
pfas.
So
this
is
the
pfas
abandoned
products,
so
P5
is
known
to
be
a
dangerous
forever
chemical,
that's
found
in
many
of
the
products
we
use
daily
and
they
never
break
down
so
intentionally.
J
and
the
mpca
would
be
the
agency
to
enforce
these
rules
on
manufacturers
and
the
pfas
ban
would
apply
to
a
number
of
items
beginning
in
2025
such
as
clickwear
dental
floss
cause
and
cosmetics.
Etc
1.1
million
dollars
is
available
at
annually
for
this
implementation
and
then
last
on
the
slide.
We
have
an
energy
benchmarking,
so
this
creates
a
program
that
requires
owners
of
buildings,
a
50,
000
square
feet
or
more
to
annually
document
each
building's
energy
use
via
an
EPA
computerized
benchmarking
tool
and
send
the
information
to
the
Department
of
Commerce.
J
F
F
J
Chair
Johnson
council
member
Chuck
Tai,
so
this
is
established
by
DNR,
but
it
would,
and
I
may
be.
Speaking
of
turnaround
may
be
incorrect.
I
know
it's
going
to
be
like
a
reimbursement.
It's
for
funds
for
reimbursement
that
would
have
to
be
accessed
by
residents
through
our
City
Health
Department
got.
J
And
then
my
last
slide
here
is
public
health,
so
the
first
two
Public
Health
System
transformation
funding
and
public
health
emergency
preparedness,
either
a
local
public
health
agency
grants
they're
available
to
local
public
health
departments
for
the
transformation
funding.
There's
about
11
million
dollars
available
in
total,
but
of
that
8.9
is
available
to
local
public
health
departments,
and
this
funding
is
based
on
a
formula,
so
we
will
not
receive
directs,
so
we
will
not
well.
J
We
have
not
yet
received
direct
allocation
from
this
pot
of
money
yet
and
then
the
funding
is
used
for
foundational,
Public,
Health
responsibilities
and
infrastructure,
so
that
Public
Health
Systems
can
work
as
a
whole.
The
same
thing
applies
for
the
public
health
emergency
preparedness
grants.
This
is
also
funding
formula
based
and
this
funding
is
being
used
to
be
is
will
be
used
to
be
able
to
respond
to
Public
Health
emergencies
like
covid-19
I
mean
next.
We
have
the
elevated
blood
lead
level
lowered.
J
So,
prior
to
this
lobbying
past
this
session,
State
statue
said
that
an
elevated
blood
lead
level
was
was
equal
to
or
greater
than
10
micrograms
per
deciliter
of
whole
blood
in
2014.
The
Commissioner
of
Health
modified
this
to
five
micrograms
per
deciliter
of
whole
blood,
but
it
was
never
written
into
law.
I
was
just
a
commissioner's
order,
so
this
new
law
reduces
the
intervention
point
from
10
micrograms
per
deciliter
to
be
now
equal
or
greater
than
3.5
micrograms
per
deciliter
of
whole
blood.
J
So
once
a
child
tests
positive
for
lead
and
it's
in
its
act
or
greater
than
3.5
micrograms
per
deciliter,
our
health
department
will
need
to
intervene
and
provide
in-home.
In-Home
health
lead
risk
assessment
testing
and
then
next
we
have
grants
to
support
long,
coveted
survivors
and
monitoring
impact
of
long
covid.
So
there's
3.1
million
dollars
of
annual
available
annually,
and
this
establishes
a
program
to
conduct
Community
assessments
and
epidemiological
investigations
to
Monitor
and
address
impacts
of
long-covered
and
related
conditions.
J
So
funding
is
for
Grants
and
contracts
to
community
and
or
Partners
to
implement,
evidence-informed
priority
actions
in
or
with
communities
of
color
and
funding
is
also
for
Grants
and
contracts,
organizations
to
disseminate
resources
and
info
to
support
survivors
of
long-covid
or
related
conditions,
and
then
next
we
have
a
comprehensive
drug
overdose.
Morbidity
act
so
there's
9.8
million
dollars
in
fiscal
available
in
funding
for
fiscal
year,
2024
and
10.5
million
available
funding
in
fiscal
year
2025..
J
So
this
is
to
fund
culturally
specific
Outreach,
opioid
prevention
and
Supportive
Services
as
well
as
grants,
and
then
next
we
have
ma
coverage
for
tobacco.
Nicotine
solution
products,
there's
286
286
000
in
fiscal
year,
24
and
316
000
in
fiscal
year,
2025
available
for
this-
and
this
is
medical
assistance
coverage.
It
is
just
now
expanded
to
cover
tobacco
and
nicotine
station
products
and
then
the
next
two
are
both
New
Creations
within
the
Department
of
Health.
So
there's
one
million
dollars
in
funding
for
each
of
these
offices.
J
Funding
is
annual
to
support
the
to
support
the
creation
of
this
new
office
within
the
department
of
health
or
mdh
to
address
the
unique
Public
Health
needs
of
African-Americans,
as
well
as
American,
Indian
Tribal
communities
by
developing
Solutions
and
systems
to
address
Health
disparities
and
then,
last
but
not
least,
we
have
additional
funding
for
Minnesota
food
shelf
program.
So
there
was
a
separate
bill
that
moved
earlier
on
in
session.
C
This
should
be
something
also
related
to
Minneapolis,
since
we
declare
racism
as
a
public
health
emergency,
and
we
have
a
lot
of
initiatives
that
currently
are
not
funded
in
reib
right
now
that
it
would
be
great
if
we
could
seek
out
Statewide
assistance
to
support
this
work,
because
it's
in
alignment
with
the
legislation
that
just
got
passed
but
yeah.
If
we
could
get
a
sense
of
if
there's
any
grants
available
from
this
one
million
dollars.
Or
is
it
just
all
for
setting
up
or
operational
costs
of
this
new
office?.
J
K
Thank
you.
Mr
chair
members
of
the
committee
Steve
huser
government
relations,
rep
for
the
igr
Department
I'm,
going
to
start
off
with
the
transportation
Omnibus
Bill
I'll,
just
start
off
by
saying
that
I
think
that
this
is
one
of
the
most.
You
know:
transport,
transformational,
Transportation
bills
that
I've
seen
since
probably
2008.
K
So
there
was
quite
a
bit
of
new
funding
included
in
this
bill.
A
lot
of
new
funding
for
Transit
and
meeting
the
regions,
capital
and
operations
Transit
needs
and
then
there's
some
exciting
new
funding
for
city
streets
included
in
the
package
as
well.
Some
of
the
new
revenues
that
were
included
in
this
legislation
were
indexing.
The
gas
tax.
This
is
an
index
to
a
con
construction
inflation
index,
so
it
will
gradually.
You
know,
though,
that
tax
will
then
increase
with
those
costs.
K
So
the
first
pot
of
money
that
you
know
is
is
specific
to
the
city.
Is
the
MSA,
the
municipal
state
aid
Street
system,
the
total
amount
for
the
state
is
488
million
for
the
biennium.
This
is
a
37.9
million
dollar
increase.
This
comes
from
some
of
the
various
sources
that
I
just
listed,
including
the
gas
tax,
tab
fees,
I,
don't
know
what
the
additional
new
money
to
the
city
will
be
quite
yet,
but
I
do
anticipate
that
MnDOT
will
have
those
runs
in
the
coming
weeks.
K
There
are
some
restrictions
on
the
type
of
purpose
that
they
can
be
used
for,
so
the
the
amount
that
we
get
will
be
a
needs
base,
as
well
as
population-based
number,
the
next
pot
of
money
that
the
city
will
be
getting
a
new
money
from
is
the
larger
City's
assistance
account.
This
is
a
new
account
that
the
state
created
this
session.
It
is
funded
from
the
50
Cent
delivery
fee
in
the
first
biennium
is
projected
to
generate
about
12.7
million
dollars
and
then
the
second
pionium
26.3
million.
K
Those
are
probably
pretty
rough
estimates.
I
would
venture
a
guess
at
because
you
know
the
delivery
fees
are
still.
The
deliveries
are
still
a
relatively
new
thing
and
they
do
have
some
fluctuations,
but
that
is
ongoing.
Funding
for
this
purpose
eligible
cities
have
a
population
over
five
thousand,
so
say
Minneapolis
will
be
eligible
for
this
fund
and
it
will
be
based
on
a
similar
formula
as
MSA
so
50
by
population
50
by
the
needs
formula.
K
K
We
are
working
to
consult
with
MnDOT
about
how
that
allocation
is
going
to
come
about.
I
I
would
venture
a
very
rough
guess
that
that
I
hope
you
don't
hold
me
to
that.
The
we
were
looking
at
between
one
and
two
million,
probably
allocation
from
that
fund,
but
we
will
know
more
in
the
in
the
coming
month.
Hopefully,
the
purpose
of
these
funds
will
be
to
be
put
towards
upgrading
ADA
compliance,
so
this
could
include
things
like
curb
cutouts
for
Wheelchairs
and
things
of
that
nature.
K
The
bill
included
the
Northern
Lights
Express
funding
for
a
Rail
Project
between
City
Minneapolis
and
Duluth.
They
funded
this
at
a
level
of
194.7
million
dollars.
The
hope
is
that
this
amount
of
money
can
really
get
that
project,
hopefully
up
and
going
I
I'm,
not
I'm
blanking,
on
the
the
timeline
of
what
that,
what
this
level
of
funding
when
it
will
actually
be
completed,
but
I
know
that
that
exists
in
councilmember
Johnson.
You
may
be
a
little
bit
more
familiar
actually
than
I
am
with
with
that
project.
K
Some
of
the
policy
that
was
included
in
the
transportation
Bill
includes
a
legislation
that
the
city
was
promoting,
which
was
the
micro
mobility
and
EV
shared
vehicle
signage
Bill.
What
this
legislation
will
allow
for
is
a
further
exception
in
the
law
for
advertising
signage
in
the
right-of-way
for
micro,
Mobility
things
like
scooters,
Bike
Share
to
have
an
actual
advertising
logo
or
signage
on
it.
K
K
K
The
report
is
meant
to
be
a
report
to
the
legislature
about
the
potential
for
using
speed
camera
technology
to
try
to
potentially
do
some
sort
of
automated
ticketing
or
some
sort
of
camera
enforcement
of
force
beating
across
the
state,
and
then
this
is
a
it
was.
There
were
some
specific
groups
that
will
be
represented
on
that
it
does
not
specify
cities,
but
the
City
of
Minneapolis
has
expressed
interest
to
DPS
to
potentially
be
involved
in
that
process.
K
So
to
Transit,
as
I
mentioned
to
the
legislature,
did
pass
a
regional
transit
sales
tax.
It's
a
three-quarter
sales
tax,
it's
effective,
October
1st
of
this
year.
The
distribution
of
these
funds
are
that
5
6
of
the
funds
will
be
for
Transit
operations
and
capital.
This
is
estimated
to
generate
approximately
765
million
dollars
in
the
first
biennium
in
973
million
dollars
in
second
biennium.
K
The
other
part
of
that
5
6
is
five
percent
of
those
Transit
funds
will
be
directed
to
the
transportation
Advisory
board
or
tab
which
the
City
of
Minneapolis
has
a
member
seated,
and
they
will
be
Distributing
These
funds
for
active
Transportation
purposes
to
local
governments
in
the
seven
County
metropolitan
area.
It's
estimated
that
that
five
percent
is
approximately
30
million
dollars
in
the
first
year
and
the
City
of
Minneapolis
would
be
eligible
to
apply
for
those
funds.
Should
we
have
a
project
that
would
meet
the
criteria
set
out
by
tab?
K
K
The
legislation
included
some
policy
language
for
Transit
safety
and
the
creation
of
a
trip
program
with
Metro
Transit.
The
purpose
of
this
is
to
partner
with
local
governments
partner,
with
non-profits,
to
try
to
address
some
of
the
rider
safety
issues
that
are
happening
on
specifically
Light
Rail
Metro
Transit
has
reached
out
to
the
City
of
Minneapolis
and
other
local
governments
to
try
to
figure
out
ways
in
which
to
we
could
partner
with
them.
K
The
bill
includes
50
million
dollars
for
the
blue
line
extension
in
addition
to
the
funding,
there's
also
language
that
requires
Metro
transit
to
consult
with
neighborhood
organizations
and
Community
groups
about
the
the
potential
routes
through
those
neighborhoods.
It
also
directs
Inc,
which
includes
the
City
of
Minneapolis
and
others,
to
consult
on
and
take
a
look
at
an
alternate
route
that
is
near
I-94
Washington
and
10th
Avenue
in
the
City
of
Minneapolis.
K
The
transportation
Bill
also
included
a
Mac
Council
governance.
Working
group.
This
working
group
is
now
is,
will
be
directed
to
take
a
look
at
the
governance
structure
of
the
Metropolitan
Council
in
as
a
whole
to
take
a
look
at
how
those
members
are
selected
and
what
the
structure
of
the
Mac
console
would
potentially
be,
and
I
will
pause
you
there
to
see
if
there's.
H
G
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I,
guess
Ferguson
no
curious
about
the
five
percent
Transit
funds
going
through
tab.
Do
you
anticipate
that
going
through
the
standard,
Regional
solicitation
process
and
like
kind
of
a
secondary
question
to
that?
Do
you
anticipate
the
regional
solicitation
scoring
to
be
impacted
by
this
legislation,
or
is
that
getting
in
a
little
bit
too
technical
for
for
you.
K
K
I
would
anticipate,
though,
that
they
will
use
quite
a
bit
of
the
work
that
they
do
within
the
regional
solicitation
in
terms
of
project
selection,
scoring
that
that
type
of
technical
work
they
would
likely
apply
what
is
applicable
to
this
process
and
then
make
a
selection
process
in
a
similar
fashion.
But
that
again
is
an
anticipation
on
my
part.
Thank.
C
K
C
Yeah,
that
would
be
great,
as
you
mentioned.
There's
lots
of
I
know.
Councilmember
Chavez
has
really
LED
on
this
conversation
of
how
to
bring
different
Community
groups,
especially
as
we're
going
to
the
public
safety
section
and
helping
or
having
some
of
those
unarmed
safety
groups
support
this
Rider
safety
needs
of
you
know
our
transit
public
transit
users
so
really
wanted
to
see.
If
that
was
also
another
Avenue
in
which
I'm
great
Metro
Transit,
they
got
an
allocation,
but
also,
if
there's
ways
to
have
the
city
apply
to
so
yeah.
K
Mr
chair
I
can
say
that
my
understanding
is
that
the
city
would
not
necessarily
be
eligible
to
apply
for
that.
However,
Metro
Transit
has
reached
out
and
is
interested
in
coordinating
with
our
community
Safety
Office
MPD
other
NCR
within
the
city,
to
try
and
see
where,
where
there
is
some
coordination
that
can
happen,
we
had
expressed
to
Metro
Transit
and
to
the
legislators
that
you
know
we
were
willing
to
work
with
Metro
Transit,
as
you
know,
with
the
capacity
that
we
have
as
a
city
as
well.
K
Moving
on
to
the
Omnibus
Public
Safety
bill,
I
want
to
just
start
out
at
the
offset
that
I
have
one
slide
on
this,
and
I
will
self-admit
that
this
does
not
do
justice
to
the
bill
that
was
put
together
for
the
Judiciary
and
Public
Safety
Bill
I'm
I'm,
going
to
try
and
highlight
some
of
the.
What
I
think
are.
K
You
know
maybe
of
the
most
interest
to
you
all,
but
this
is
not
an
exhaustive
list
and
if
we
have,
if
there's
something
that
I
am
not
mentioning
here,
please
reach
out
to
me
and
we
can
talk
about
it
offline
or
even
today,
but
just
wanted
to
level
set
with
you
that
this
was
a
very
large
Public
Safety
bill.
They
covered
a
lot
of
ground
on
Public
Safety
in
this
legislation.
So,
as
Katie
mentioned,
the
tax
Omnibus
Bill
didn't
include
Public
Safety
Aid
of
19
million
dollars
in
one-time
funding
to
the
city.
K
It
is
very
Broad
in
terms
of
like
being
used
for
a
public
safety
purpose,
so
the
guidance
that
we've
received
from
the
Department
of
Public
Safety
is
that,
if,
if
this,
if
we,
if
the
Local
Government
Can,
can
see
a
public
safety
or
Community
safety
need
and
that
that
will
likely
be
as
long
as
there's
a
Nexus
with
Public
Safety,
it
will
likely
be
allowed.
However,
the
statute
does
specify
a
few
very
specific
things
that
this
money
cannot
be
used
for.
K
These
include
using
some
types
of
crowd:
control,
Munitions
those
are
prohibited
from
being
purchased
with
these
funds.
Military
style
vehicles
cannot
be
purchased
with
these
funds
and
a
police
department
facility,
like
the
actual
building
itself
and
then
surrounding
infrastructure,
to
facilitate
a
police
department
building
are
also
prohibited
from
being
used
by
these
funds.
K
Some
of
the
the
funding
included
in
this
bill
for
Public
Safety-
and
this
is
by
no
means
an
exhaustive
list,
but
some
of
the
larger
what
I
think
are
maybe
the
most
interesting
to
the
city.
Pots
of
money
that
were
included
were
70
million
dollars
for
a
community
crime
and
violence
prevention
account
grant
program.
K
10
million
for
the
criminal
investigation
and
crisis
response
grants
from
this
10
million
dollars.
Our
Behavior
crisis
response
program
would
likely
be
eligible,
9.3
million
for
the
violent
crime
reduction
strategy
at
the
Bureau
of
Criminal
apprehension.
This
includes
forensic
analysis,
analytical
and
Operational
Support
that
local
law
enforcement
organizations,
including
MPD,
can
can
work
with
BCA
on
and
then
eight
million
dollars
to
decrease
the
forensic
evidence
turnaround
times
for
state
and
local
investigations.
K
The
bill
includes
a
new
law
enforcement
recruitment
program.
It's
five
million
dollars.
It's
they're,
calling
it
an
intensive,
comprehensive
peace
officer.
Education
training
account.
The
purpose
of
this
account
is
to
try
and
help
offset
what
the
what
the
legislators
have
in
mind
was
folks
who
might
be
mid-career
and
are
looking
to
maybe
have
a
career
in
law
enforcement,
but
perhaps
there's
an
education
barrier
or
an
ability
to
take
the
time
off
to
get
certified
to
become
a
peace
officer.
K
The
public
safety
Bill
included
a
couple
of
gun
safety
Provisions.
These
include
Universal
background
checks
for
all
firearm
purchases
and
includes
the
extreme
risk
protection
orders,
otherwise
known
as
the
red
flag
law.
The
City
of
Minneapolis
has
policies
related
to
both
of
these
things,
that
would
that
supported
this
legislation
and
we
express
support
for
those
as
well
the
lie,
and
this
new
law
includes
a
Prohibition
on
law
enforcement
being
members
of
a
hate
group.
This
is
also
a
policy
that's
been
adopted
by
the
post
board.
K
So
this
just
simply
removes
the
the
number
restriction
that
the
that
MPD
had
in
statute,
but
this
is
contingent
on
Council
approval,
so
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
you
all
were
aware
of
that
and
then
before
I
leave.
This
slide
and
pause
for
questions
I
did
want
to.
There
was
a
couple
of
Provisions
that
I
don't
have
on
the
slide.
That
I
thought
in
hindsight.
That
I
think
you
would
be
worth
mentioning
they
did.
The
legislature
did
create
a
carjacking
crime
which
did
not
exist
in
statute.
K
K
There
is
some
changes
to
the
what
the
the
types
of
Investigations
that
the
post
board
can
enter
into,
and
some
of
the
the
work
that
the
post
board
can
do
and
then
removing
a
license
from
an
officer.
And
then
the
post
board
is
directed
to
create
a
standard
of
conduct
and
then
they
would
potentially
be
able
to
use
a
violation
of
that
standard
of
conduct
as
a
a
means
or
a
way
to
either
have
some
sort
of
a
punishment
or
a
removal
of
a
license
for
a
peace
officer.
K
And
the
last
thing
I'll
leave
you
with
is:
there
was
a
change.
It's
permissive
language
in
the
bill
related
to
civilian
oversight,
councils
related
to
for
law
enforcement.
So
it's
it's
permissive
language
that
allows
local
governments
to
allow
these
entities
to
have
further
investigatory
power
and
other
authority
to
issue
some
recommendation
on
punishment
for
a
law
enforcement
officer
if
they
are
seem
to
be
in
violation
of
either
the
law
or
policy.
K
C
K
Yeah
Mr
chair
council,
member
I,
yes,
the
so
what
is
allowable
is
a
very
Broad
and
I
would
say
we
would
want
to
rely
on
perhaps
the
interpretation
of
the
city
attorney's
office,
but
it's
a
very
broad
interpretation
of
Public
Safety
purposes.
So
what
had
been
mentioned
to
me
or
I
would
say
that
the
legislative
intent
is
likely
to
be
what
is
things
such
as
Community
safety
work,
violence,
prevention,
work,
Behavior,
crisis
response,
work,
other
expenses
that
that
the
police
department
may
have
that
are
not
restricted
specifically
in
the
legislation.
C
K
C
K
Mr,
chair
and
council
member
city
trains
office
can
can
probably
answer
it
more
specifically
than
I
can.
But
I
would
imagine
that
the
the
community
Safety
Office
is
likely
the
office
within
the
city.
That
has
the
most
direct
interaction
with
the
the
ways
in
which
this
money
can
be
spent.
But
there
may
be
some
other
work
of
other
City
departments
that
might
apply
as
well.
C
C
This
work,
even
though
our
government
structure
says
it
is
so
it's
really
good
to
know
like
this
is
further
backing
that
we
need
to
work
with
our
current
commissioner
and
OCS
staff
to
really
develop
out
those
plans
so
that
we
can
use
this
this
money
very
efficiently
and
effectively.
So
that's
really
good
to
know
that
those
dollars
are
coming
in
to
support
that
comprehensive
work.
C
Many
of
you
all
know
that
workers
compensation
is
played,
or
has
been
a
big
large
price
tag
for
Minneapolis
taxpayers,
and
there
has
been
long-term
concerns
around
guidelines,
or
you
know,
requirements
that
allows
officers
to
shift
out
of
that,
or
at
least
vet
for
them
to
be
shifted
out
of
those
those.
You
know,
programs,
and
this
gives
Clarity
on
what
that
looks
like
what
type
of
mental
health
programs
they
will
be
mandated
to
complete
in
order
to
continue
receiving
compensation,
but
also
to
help
them.
C
You
know
fully
recover
in
the
best
way
that
they
can
so
I
was
really
excited
to
see
that
that
was
a
legislative
amendment
that
I
also
brought
forward,
and
thank
my
colleagues
for
supporting
that
piece.
So
I
was
super
excited
to
see
that
move
forward,
but
those
were
oh
and
also
the
hate
crime
piece
which
that's
so
sad
that
the
bar
is
so
low.
C
But
I
was
super
excited
to
see
the
post
board
move
forward.
With
this
there
was
lots
of
pushback
from
law
enforcement
associations.
On
this
one
and
I
know
there
was
a
number
of
community
groups.
I
know
my
stuff.
We
did
a
press
conference
being
like
go
post
Borgo
and
making
sure
that
we
do
not
allow
white
supremacists
or
those
part.
You
know
wanting
to
be
part
of
extreme
groups
that
promotes
violence
to
the
residents
that
they're
supposed
to
protect
and
serve.
C
K
K
You
yeah
Mr,
chair
and
I
just
want
to
thank
councilmember
I,
had
a
note
to
prompt
myself
on
the
duty
disability
law
that
you
mentioned
some
quick
info
for
the
committee
on
that.
So,
yes,
that
did
pass.
It
is
funded
with
one-time
funding.
So
that
is
work
that
will.
We
will
need
to
continue
with
the
league
of
Minnesota
cities
and
other
City
organizations
at
the
Capitol
in
the
coming
years
to
make
sure
that
that
continues
to
be
funded.
K
It's
a
reimbursement
program,
so
the
cities
will
be
able
to
get
reimbursed
for
costs
incurred
for
both
the
treatment
of
our
First
Responders,
who
who
are
diagnosed
with
PTSD,
as
well
as
the
the
cost
for
for
the
actual
Duty
disability
payout
until
they,
you
know
for
the
health
insurance
costs
until
they
are
eligible
for
Medicare.
So
we
what
the
city
will
have
to
do
is
on
track.
We
and-
and
finance
is
very
aware
of
this.
We
will
be
tracking
the
cost
that
the
city
incurs
figuring
out
exactly.
K
There
is
some
some
growing
pains
in
terms
of
like
what
is
eligible,
what
past
expenses
are
potential
eligible
for
reimbursement
and
then
going
forward?
Most
of
the
bill
is
a
prospective
look
of
what
are
our
identifying
our
costs
and
then
applying
for
the
reimbursement
once
a
year
to
get
reimbursed
for
those
costs.
So.
K
So
the
other
Bill
one
of
the
other
large
bills
that
I
I
got
the
pleasure
of
working
on
this
session
was
the
adult
use
cannabis
bill.
There
was
a
lot
of
work
done
on
this
bill
with
a
lot
of
different
local
government
organizations
and
I
do
want
to
call
out
the
league
of
Minnesota
cities.
They
were
the
very,
very
much
the
lead
on
this
from
the
city
perspective.
K
One
of
the
major
components
of
that
bill
that
was
included
was
a
revenue
share
with
local
governments,
so
for
in
general
there
is
a
10
tax
on
retail
sales
for
cannabis
of
the
amount
collected,
20
percent
will
go
into
a
local
government.
Aid
fund
and
cities
will
be
eligible
for
half
of
that
money.
Now
the
city
amounts
are
based
on
the
number
of
licenses
that
are
approved
within
a
jurisdiction,
so
the
eight
amount
that
will
come
to
the
City
of
Minneapolis
will
be
determined
by
the
number
of
licenses
that
we
issue
within
the
city.
K
There
are
some
restrictions
in
terms
of
the
number
of
licenses
that
are
required.
A
city
is
required
to
approve,
so
this
is
done
by
population,
so
the
it
is
a
it's
by
12,
500
population,
so,
for
example,
City
of
Minneapolis.
We
have
roughly
430
000
divide
that
by
twelve
and
a
half
thousand,
and
we
get
to
a
number.
That's
approximately.
If
I
did
my
number
right,
it's
about
29
licenses,
that
would
be
the
floor
that
that
must
be
approved.
K
Should
there
be
the
number
of
businesses
business
applicants
who
meet
the
application,
so
a
local
government
can
go
above
that,
so
that
is
not
a
that's,
not
a
that's,
not
a
ceiling.
It's
it's!
The
minimum
number
that
are
they're
required
to
approve
there
is
a
some
interaction
with
the
number
of
County
licenses,
so
there
is
a
floor
for
the
number
of
County
licenses.
So
if
a
city
chose
to
try
and
fall
under
the
county
cap,
it
would
apply
in
that
situation
as
well.
K
The
bill
includes
local
zoning
and
land
use
application.
So
when
a
business
applies
to
the
office
of
cannabis
management,
which
will
be
the
Statewide
entity
regulating
cannabis
in
the
state
they
have
to,
the
applicant
has
to
show
to
the
state
that
they
are
following
all
local
zoning
and
land
use
ordinances.
K
The
bill
does
include
Provisions,
that
are
that
attempt
to
address
the
past
harm
of
prohibition,
so
they
do
give
some
waiting
and
some
extra
you
know
application
points
for
those
who
can
show
that
they
had
been
harmed
by
prohibition.
That
can
mean
that
they
had
some
sort
of
charge
or
some
sort
of
conviction
related
to
marijuana,
possession
or
things
of
that
nature
in
the
past.
K
K
Yeah
Mr
chair
councilman
Rosman,
my
the
last
time,
I
asked
that
question.
My
understanding
was
it's
the
total
number
of
licenses
so
all
of
all
the
license
types,
okay,
but
that
is
something
that
we're
we're:
trying
to
make
sure
that
we're
correct
about
that.
That's
the
same
interpretation
by
the
state
as
as
local
governments
are
understanding
it
I.
K
So,
while
some
work
is
happening
with
current
staff
at
the
Department
of
Health
I
believe
they
are
standing
up
an
office
that
is
projected
to
have
a
staff
of
200,
so
the
first
licenses
are
are
potentially
could
be
issued
later
this
year,
but
are
likely
to
be
issued
next
year.
So
that
gives
you
kind
of
a
timeline
of
what
it
might
take
to
stand
this
all
up
and
have
this
kind
of
all
be
implemented.
E
All
right,
Mr,
chair
and
remember
just
a
couple,
quick
comments
to
wrap
things
up.
I
know
this
has
been
a
long
presentation,
so
I
will
I
will
keep
them
short,
but
so
that
was
the
summary
of
what
happened
this
past
session.
As
you
can
see,
it
was
a
lot
and
that
didn't
include
every
single
thing.
So
please
do
let
us
know
if
you
have
further
questions
and
we
are
reaching
out
to
all
of
your
offices
to
to
talk
further
offline
as
well.
E
So
a
couple
of
things
we
did
work
on
that
we
weren't
able
to
get
across
the
Finish
Line
this
session.
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
here
that
we
do
plan
to
bring
back
and
work
on
again
in
2024.
One
is,
as
Steve
already
mentioned,
speed
camera
enforcement.
There
was
a
work
group
set
up
and
then
we
are
hoping
to
bring
back
the
bill
next
year.
That
would
enable
us
to
have
speed
camera
enforcement.
E
If
we
chose
to
do
so,
we
had
a
bill
to
repeal
the
municipal
building
commission
that
did
not
happen
this
session,
so
we
will
be
continuing
to
talk
with
Bill
authors,
staff
from
the
municipal
building
commission
and
our
partners
at
the
county
over
the
a
summer
to
figure
out
our
next
steps
on
that
issue
going
into
the
next
session.
We
also
had
a
bill
that
had
a
hearing
related
to
comprehensive
plans,
clarifying
that
comprehensive
plans
do
not
need
to
go
through
an
environmental
review.
E
Unfortunately,
that
did
not
pass
this
session,
but
we
do
have
commitments
from
our
housing
chairs
to
work
on
it
over
the
interim
and
try
to
bring
that
back
next
year.
The
other
big
thing
that
the
city
will
be
focusing
on
in
2024
is
bonding
or
capital
investment
priorities.
The
even
numbered
years
are
typically
the
big
bonding
years,
although
they
did
do
a
big
bonding
us
here,
and
so
a
couple
of
our
bonding
priorities
that
were
not
funded
were
the
Nicolette
Avenue
Bridge,
and
our
request
for
funds
for
Ada
upgrades
for
our
sidewalks
curb
ramps.
E
Things
like
that.
As
Mr
hugheser
mentioned,
we
got
some.
We
expect
to
get
some
money
out
of
the
transportation
bill
for
that,
but
that
project
is
tens
of
millions
of
dollars
over
over
a
number
of
years,
and
so
we
do
anticipate
asking
for
more
funds.
For
that
again,
we
are
also,
in
the
course
of
talking
to
City
departments
about
other
potential
infrastructure
projects.
We
do
have
an
initial
deadline
of
submitting
some
local
projects
to
Minnesota
management
and
budget.
E
We
do
a
policy
liaison
team
process
with
representatives
from
All
City
departments
who
can
bring
ideas
forward
based
on
their
work
and
again
we
will
be
reaching
out
to
all
of
your
offices
as
well
this
summer
to
find
out
what
some
of
your
priorities
are
and
our
work
to
update
the
legislative
agenda
this
year.
I
think
will
be
also
kind
of
fun
because
there's
a
lot
we
get
to
cross
off
so
I
think
when
we
come
back
in
the
fall.
E
You'll
see
a
lot
of
strikethroughs
on
our
our
current
policy
positions
document,
because
a
lot
got
taken
care
of
this
session.
So
we
do
anticipate
presenting
new
ideas
and
proposals
to
all
of
you
in
October,
based
on
input
from
City
departments,
with
the
adoption
of
the
2024
legislative
agenda
in
November,
and
then
the
2024
legislative
session
begins
on
February
12
2024..
E
So
with
that.
That
concludes
our
presentation.
Happy
to
take
any
final
questions,
but
otherwise
I
just
want
to
thank
you
all
for
your
efforts
and
support
during
the
session
and
thank
you
to
our
team
for
for
all
their
hard
work
and
to
the
Minneapolis
legislative
delegation
for
all
the
work
they
did
on
behalf
of
the
city
as
well.
C
Thank
you,
Jonathan.
One
thing
that
was
missing
and
I
know
you
couldn't
get
to.
Everything
was
just
also
having
a
slide
on
the
you
know,
Provisions
that
were
passed
around
education,
knowing
that
one
of
the
Amendments
that
we
all
passed
in
December
was
also
support
for
free
college
and
I'm
very
glad
that
Senator
Omar
fate
was
able
to
bring
that
home
and
super
excited
for
the
students.
Sorry
Augsburg
is
private,
but
U
of
M.
C
You
are
straight
so
I'm
super
excited
for
that
piece,
but
also
kind
of
related
to
child
care.
But
I
know
there
was
historic
Investments
with
you
know
our
public
schools
and
seeing
that
MPS
is
wrestling
with
a
financial
crisis
right
now
or
looming
financial
crisis.
How
does
that
factor
into
it
and
knowing
that
we
serve
residents
that
have
children
in
our
Public
Schools
so
would
love
to
get
a
better
sense
of
kind
of
what
was
also
listed
in
the
education,
Omnibus
Bill,
because
I
think
that
would
be
relevant
to
our
constituents.
C
Another
piece
is
the
ride
share
protections.
That
was
another
amendment
that
we
all
passed,
which
you
did
discuss
around.
You
know.
There's
this
task
force,
that's
being
create
it.
That's
I'm,
not
sure,
yet
that
there's
going
to
be
recommendations,
I,
don't
know
if
you
all
gave
a
deadline
on
that,
but
sometime
next
year,
but
also
knowing
this
body
has
an
opportunity
to
pass
a
policy
at
the
local
level.
C
K
You
know
in
Committee
in
the
transportation
committee
this
session
it
did
not
actually
get
included
in
the
transportation
bill
this
session,
but
I
think
that
there's
a
pretty
wide
acknowledgment
that
the
way
we
fund
streets
and
bridges,
especially
in
in
the
state
with
real
heavy
Reliance
on
the
gas
tax,
is
kind
of
a
diminishing
return,
and
so
we
do
need
with
the
with
the
hope
that
more
people
are
going
to
be
using.
You
know
other
sources
of
Transportation,
specifically
electric
vehicles
on
our
roads
and
bridges.
K
We
do
need
to
try
to
figure
out
a
way
to
fund
the
Statewide
transportation
system,
while
acknowledging
that
less
people
will
be
using
gas
powered
vehicles
on
those
roads
and
bridges.
So
the
conversation
was
was
pretty
robust
this
session,
but
yeah
it
did
not
get
in
the
final
bill
and
then
happy
to
talk
with
you
more
offline
about
some
of
the
other
questions
that
you
had.
The
you
did
mention
that
the
TNC
driver
Bill.
K
It
was
one
of
the
only
I
think
it
was
the
only
Bill
that
got
vetoed
this
year
and
we've
spoke
recently
about.
You
know
the
work
that
the
city
might
be
doing
on
that
work
group,
so
we'll
kind
of
a
stay
tuned
on
the
on
the
Statewide
front
and
I'm
aware,
obviously
we're
very
aware
of
the
work
that
is
potentially
happening
at
the
Council
on
that
front.
So.
A
So
imagine
all
we've
been
witness
to
just
in
these
last
two
hours
here
during
this
presentation
and
there's
so
much
more
beyond
that
that
didn't
even
make
the
PowerPoint
slide
or
that
you
know
one
little
bullet
point
on.
There
may
be
representative
of
dozens
of
hours
of
conversations
across
many
legislators,
and
so
it's
a
Monumental
effort.
A
It's
a
small
But
Mighty
team
and
it
plays
such
a
critical
role,
our
igr
team
in
the
operations
of
the
city
and
the
finances
of
the
city
and
ultimately,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
what
this
is
all
about:
delivering
for
the
public
and
the
people
in
our
city,
so
that
it's
a
better
place
to
live,
work
and
play,
and
so
I
really
just
want
to
give
a
tremendous.
Thank
you
to
the
team
for
all
this
work.
A
You
know
on
the
way
out
here,
councilmember
Payne
jokingly
said
to
me,
so
this
is
going
to
be
a
Victory
lap,
presentation
right
and
it's
true
I
mean
it's
it's.
This
team
has
been
a
part
of
all
of
this
work
over
at
the
Capitol
and
really
shares
credit
for
these
wins
that
benefit
the
people
of
Minneapolis
and
the
people
of
Minnesota
as
well
and
Beyond.
Minnesota
people
are
looking
at
What's,
Happening
Here
in
our
state,
our
city
for
inspiration
as
well,
and
so
this
team
is
absolutely
a
part
of
it.
A
They've
been
working
so
hard
and
I
I
hope
are
just
beginning
to
recharge
your
Collective
batteries
as
well,
but
really
truly.
Thank
you
so
much
and
thank
you
as
well
to
our
delegation
for
all
of
their
work
to
the
legislature
for
all
of
their
work
to
the
governor
and
then
all
of
our
partners
as
well.
That
are
a
part
of
this
working,
as,
as
a
coalition
to
get
these
items
done
and
so
I
know,
I
speak
for
the
full
Council
with
this
praise,
that's
in
recognition
as
well
deserved
by
the
team.
