43
00:11:51.143 --> 00:12:03.622
GENERAL SUMMARY, I THINK EXPECTATIONS WERE LOW COMING INTO THIS SESSION BUT BLOOMINGTON SUCCEEDED ON A COUPLE OF VERY IMPORTANT THINGS AND I THINK DOING A LARGE PART FOR THE WORK THAT KATIE DID FOR US. SO I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO YOU.

44
00:12:03.622 --> 00:12:13.431
GOOD EVENING AND WELCOME. THANK YOU. MAYOR. MY NAME IS KATIE SUN WITH MS. REALLY CRAMER AND I'M THE LOBBYIST FOR THE CITY OF BLOOMINGTON AND I JUST WANT TO START OUT BY FIRST DOING SOME THANK YOU'S.

45
00:12:13.431 --> 00:12:25.311
SEVERAL OF YOU CAME TO THE CAPITOL AND PARTICIPATED IN HEARINGS AND MET WITH LEGISLATORS ON THE CITY DAY AT THE HILL AS WELL AS MAYBE BEHIND THE SCENES TALKING TO FOLKS AND THAT MAKES A HUGE

46
00:12:25.311 --> 00:12:34.186
DIFFERENCE. SO THANK YOU ALL THAT WE'RE INVOLVED ALSO I WANTED TO JUST POINT OUT THAT YOU HAVE AMAZING STAFF WHICH YOU KNOW AND IT REALLY DOES MAKE A BIG

47
00:12:34.186 --> 00:12:45.297
DIFFERENCE TO HAVE ENGAGED STAFF BOTH HAVING, YOU KNOW, LOTS OF DIFFERENT STAFFS AND FLAGGING ITEMS FOR ME THAT MAYBE WOULDN'T BE ON MY RADAR WHETHER IT'S PUBLIC HEALTH OR UTILITIES OR HOUSING.

48
00:12:45.297 --> 00:12:56.375
IT'S INCREDIBLY HELPFUL AS WELL AS JUST BEING A RESOURCE FOR OUR DELEGATION AND FOR THE LEAGUE OF MINNESOTA CITIES WHEN THEY WANT PEOPLE TO COME TESTIFY. SO THE FACT AND THEY'RE

49
00:12:56.375 --> 00:13:07.553
THEY'RE ALWAYS VERY QUICK TO RESPOND TO MY QUESTIONS WHICH AND AS YOU ALL KNOW SOMETIMES CAN MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE. AND THEN FINALLY OUR LEGISLATIVE DELEGATION JUST WORKS REALLY CLOSELY WITH THE

50
00:13:07.553 --> 00:13:19.832
CITY AND HAS BEEN CHAMPIONS OF OUR PRIORITIES AND HAS REALLY HELPED BEHIND THE SCENES. AND SO AND WE'RE OBVIOUSLY LOSING OUR SENATORS. THEY'RE RETIRING SO WE'LL HAVE NEW SENATORS. SENATOR MCLENNAN, SENATOR

51
00:13:19.832 --> 00:13:31.010
MANOR ARE RETIRING BUT I'M SURE WE'LL HAVE GREAT FOLKS NEXT YEAR FILLING THEIR SHOES BUT THEY THEY DESERVE A LOT OF THE THANKS FOR WORKING BEHIND THE SCENES LATE INTO THE NIGHT OFTEN SO WE HAD SOME

52
00:13:31.010 --> 00:13:41.854
GREAT WINS FOR BLOOMINGTON THAT I'LL TALK ABOUT I'M GOING TO JUST BRIEFLY JUST KIND OF SET THE STAGE FOR SESSION AND WHAT WHAT HAPPENED OVERALL OBVIOUSLY LAST TIME WE TALKED

53
00:13:41.854 --> 00:13:50.862
AT THE BREAKFAST WE TALKED ABOUT KIND OF WHAT LEGISLATORS WERE COMING INTO WAS A VERY DIFFICULT YEAR. OBVIOUSLY THE ASSASSINATION OF MELISSA HORTMAN REALLY COLORED A LOT OF COMING INTO

54
00:13:50.862 --> 00:14:02.207
SESSION AS WELL AS THE ICE METRO SURGE, THE SHOOTING AND ANNUNCIATION SERIOUS FINDINGS OF FRAUD IN STATE PROGRAMS AND THE MOST CLOSELY DIVIDED

55
00:14:02.207 --> 00:14:13.552
LEGISLATURE THAT IS POSSIBLE. I'M A WHAT A TIE IN THE HOUSE AND A ONE SEAT DEMOCRAT MAJORITY IN THE SENATE. SO AS THE MAYOR MENTIONED, I THINK EXPECTATIONS WERE LOW KNOWING THAT THERE WAS A LOT

56
00:14:13.552 --> 00:14:24.797
OF A LOT OF, YOU KNOW, TENSION AND JUST A REALLY TIGHT, TIGHT, TIGHT MAJORITY. THE THINGS THAT WERE ON THE AGENDA WERE PASSING A BONDING BILL WHICH OBVIOUSLY TAKES BIPARTISAN SUPPORT BECAUSE IT

57
00:14:24.797 --> 00:14:36.141
NEEDS A SUPERMAJORITY. ADDRESSING THE HENNEPIN COUNTY MEDICAL CENTER FUNDING CRISIS AS WELL AS DEBATING GUN CONTROL, FRAUD AFFORDABILITY AND ICE TACTICS AND MORE AND

58
00:14:36.141 --> 00:14:47.552
THE LEGISLATOR LEGISLATURE'S REACTION TO THAT THE LEGISLATOR LEGISLATURE CAME IN THERE WAS A BUDGET SURPLUS FOR THIS CURRENT BIENNIUM BUT THERE WAS A STRUCTURAL DEFICIT

59
00:14:47.552 --> 00:14:58.964
GOING OUT INTO THE FUTURE. SO WAS VERY RESTRICTED FUNDING DESPITE THE FACT THAT THERE WAS A LITTLE BIT OF MONEY ON THE BOTTOM LINE FOR THE CURRENT CYCLE. SO IN THE END THERE WAS AGREEMENT TO FIND FUNDING FOR

60
00:14:58.964 --> 00:15:09.007
CMC. THERE WAS AGREEMENT TO CREATE AN OFFICE OF THE INSPECTOR GENERAL TO HELP ADDRESS FRAUD. THERE WAS ONE TIME PROPERTY TAX RELIEF OF $125 MILLION THAT WAS PART OF THE FINAL

61
00:15:09.007 --> 00:15:19.852
DEAL THAT WILL GO DIRECT TO HOMEOWNERS AND ARE THERE WAS A LICENSE TAB FOR PAUSE FOR ONE YEAR ON THE INCREASES AND A $1.2 BILLION BONDING BILL

62
00:15:19.852 --> 00:15:31.997
THERE WAS NOT ACTION ON GUN GUN CONTROL OR FUNDING FOR BUSINESSES THAT WERE IMPACTED BY METRO SURGE WHICH ARE WHERE A COUPLE OF PRIORITIES THE DEMOCRATS HAD BEEN PUSHING ON

63
00:15:31.997 --> 00:15:43.375
THE BLOOMINGTON SIDE WE GOT $4 MILLION FOR THE NORTH CENTRAL SANITARY SEWER WHICH WAS A HUGE WHEN WE HAD HAD WE HAD BEEN ON THE BONDING TOUR FOR BOTH THE HOUSE AND THE SENATE

64
00:15:43.375 --> 00:15:54.886
AND OUR DELEGATION PUSHED REALLY HARD TO MAKE SURE WE GOT FUNDING FOR THAT. I THINK I HEARD FROM NON BLOOMINGTON LEGISLATORS THAT THEY THOUGHT IT WAS A GREAT PROJECT AND THEY WERE THEY THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO LEAD THE WAY FOR ADDITIONAL HOUSING

65
00:15:54.886 --> 00:16:05.497
AND JUST YOU KNOW REALLY EXCITING DEVELOPMENT HAPPENING . SO WE DID A GREAT JOB TELLING THE STORY I THINK ALL OF YOU DID ON THE NEED FOR THAT WE ALSO GOT THE DOGGONE GOLF

66
00:16:05.497 --> 00:16:17.209
COURSE LIQUOR LICENSE PASSED SO YOU CAN HAVE BEYOND JUST THREE TWO BEER AT THE GOLF COURSE LEGALLY AND WE GOT A COUPLE OF COUPLE OF FOLKS ASKING AT THE END OF THE

67
00:16:17.209 --> 00:16:27.819
HEARING WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG? SO IT WASN'T WASN'T A LOT OF PUSHBACK ON THAT ONE. I THINK THEY SAW THE NEED FOR THAT. IT WAS JUST A MATTER OF GETTING THE LIQUOR BILL ACROSS THE FINISH LINE WHICH HAPPENED THIS SESSION. SO THAT WAS GOOD.

68
00:16:27.819 --> 00:16:38.930
THERE WAS ALSO $10 MILLION FOR METRO REGIONAL PARKS AND TRAILS AND AS THE IMPLEMENTING AGENCY BLOOMINGTON GETS A PORTION OF THAT SO THE STATE PUTS IN 10 MILLION AND THEN

69
00:16:38.930 --> 00:16:49.908
THE MET COUNCIL WILL MATCH FOR 6.7 MILLION. AND SO THAT'S GOOD NEWS FOR BLOOMINGTON PARKS AS WELL. WE ALWAYS WATCH THAT AND PARTICIPATE IN TRYING TO GET THAT FUNDING INCREASED. WE HAD A SECOND FUNDING

70
00:16:49.908 --> 00:17:01.754
PRIORITY OLD SHOCKER PERIOD JUST IN CASE THEY WANTED TO YOU KNOW FUN TO REALLY GREAT PROJECTS AND THAT BILL DID GET A HEARING AND TRANSPORTATION THERE WAS SOME HOPE THAT MAYBE THERE'D BE A TRANSPORTATION BILL SEPARATE FROM THE BONDING

71
00:17:01.754 --> 00:17:12.063
BILL WITH THE LIST OF TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS WHICH IS ANOTHER REASON TO INCLUDE THAT ONE THAT DIDN'T END UP HAPPENING UNFORTUNATELY . AND THEN I'M GOING TO JUST KIND OF GO THROUGH SOME OF THE

72
00:17:12.063 --> 00:17:24.009
GENERAL CITY PROVISIONS OF INTEREST. I MENTIONED 125 MILLION IN PROPERTY TAX RELIEF. THEY DID PASS A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION OR HOA BILL AND

73
00:17:24.009 --> 00:17:35.653
ONE OF THE PARTS OF THATILL PROHIBITS CITIES AND COUNTIES FROM REQUIRING THE CREATION OF AN HOA AS A CONDITION FOR APPROVING BUILDING PERMITS. THEY ALSO INCREASED FUNDING FOR POLICE TRAINING THROUGH

74
00:17:35.653 --> 00:17:46.565
THE PHILANDO CASTILE MEMORIAL TRAINING FUND. THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT BLOOMINGTON POLICE CHIEF HAD BEEN TRACKING THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS ON THE INCREASE THAT

75
00:17:46.565 --> 00:17:57.843
FROM 4.9 MILLION PER YEAR TO 6 MILLION PER YEAR AND THEN SOME THINGS THAT DID NOT PASS. THERE WAS A BILL CALLED THE STARTER HOMES ACT THAT WAS REALLY THE VERY ALL ENCOMPASSING BILL RELATED TO

76
00:17:57.843 --> 00:18:09.721
CITY ZONING AND THAT DID NOT MOVE FORWARD. THERE WAS ALSO AN EFFORT TO LIMIT THE USE OF NONDISCLOSURE AGREEMENTS OR NDAS FOR MUNICIPALITIES AND COUNTIES AND LOCAL UNITS OF GOVERNMENT

77
00:18:09.721 --> 00:18:20.832
THAT DID NOT MOVE FORWARD. THERE WAS A BILL TO ALLOW LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO RESTRICT GUNS THAT DID NOT MOVE FORWARD AND THEN THERE WAS ALSO A BILL RELATED TO LIMITING CORPORATE

78
00:18:20.832 --> 00:18:30.509
OWNER OWNERSHIP OF HOMES AND THAT DID NOT MOVE FORWARD. SO THOSE ARE SORT OF SOME OF THE BIG BROADER CITY PRIORITY IS THAT THAT DID NOT MOVE FORWARD.

79
00:18:30.509 --> 00:18:41.787
SO EVERYONE IS ON THE BALLOT AT THE STATE LEVEL THIS YEAR. EVERY HOUSE MEMBER, EVERY SENATE MEMBER, THE GOVERNOR. SO WITH WITH SUCH TIGHT MAJORITIES WE WILL SEE WHAT HAPPENS AS FAR AS CHANGES AND

80
00:18:41.787 --> 00:18:53.898
IN LEADERSHIP POTENTIALLY THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF RETIREMENTS INCLUDING FROM KEY CHAIR POSITIONS. SO NEXT SESSION WILL IN A LOT OF WAYS BE YOU KNOW, NOT STARTING OVER BUT REALLY

81
00:18:53.898 --> 00:19:04.676
STARTING WITH A LOT OF NEW FACES AND HELPING THEM GET UP TO SPEED ON OUR OUR ISSUES. SO AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS. WELL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH, KATIE AND THANKS FOR ALL THE

82
00:19:04.676 --> 00:19:15.954
WORK THE ENTIRE TEAM FROM MISSOURI CRAMER DID ON BEHALF OF BLOOMINGTON THIS PAST SESSION. I THINK WE DID ACCOMPLISH A LOT AND WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR THE WORK THAT YOU DO AND THANKFUL AS YOU SAID FOR THE OUTSTANDING STAFF THAT JUST MAKES IT SO EASY I THINK TO

83
00:19:15.954 --> 00:19:27.065

84
00:19:27.065 --> 00:19:38.210

OF THE AUDIT THE THESE THESE RISKS ARE IDENTIFIED FOR ALL AUDITS THAT WE DO AT REDPATH JUST THE RISK MANAGEMENT OVERRIDE OF CONTROLS

105
00:23:23.935 --> 00:23:35.613
ESSENTIALLY CIRCUMVENTING THE CITY'S INTERNAL CONTROLS. THERE'S A RISK OF INAPPROPRIATE DISBURSEMENTS ,THERE'S A RISK OF INAPPROPRIATE OR NOT OR IMPROPER REVENUE RECOGNITION,

106
00:23:35.613 --> 00:23:50.261
LINING UP GRANTS WITH THE CORRESPONDING EXPENDITURES AND THEN THERE'S ALWAYS A RISK OF FRAUD AND I WANT TO JUST EXPAND ON THAT A BIT BECAUSE

107
00:23:50.261 --> 00:24:00.271
IT'S IN THE NEWS SO MUCH LATELY AND OUR RESPONSIBILITY AS AUDITORS IS TO DETECT MATERIAL MISTAKES AND IT'S IN THIS DOCUMENT THAT MAY

108
00:24:00.271 --> 00:24:11.015
RESULT FROM FRAUD WE'RE NOT NECESSARILY ABLE TO OR IT'S NOT THE SCOPE OF THE AUDIT TO IDENTIFY ALL FRAUD THAT MAY OCCUR WITHIN THE CITY.

109
00:24:11.015 --> 00:24:24.763
KNOW SOMEBODY TAKES A DUMP TRUCK AND GOES AND USES IT FOR A PERSONAL PROJECT OVER THE WEEKEND OR NOT. IT'S JUST NOT GOING TO DETECT THAT TYPE OF THING. SO WE DO HAVE THE

110
00:24:24.763 --> 00:24:35.140
RESPONSIBILITY TO TO DETECT MATERIAL MISSTATEMENTS AS A RESULT FROM FRAUD. BUT UNFORTUNATELY WE'RE JUST NOT DESIGNED TO IDENTIFY EVERYTHING.

111
00:24:35.140 --> 00:24:44.382
MOST OFTEN FRAUD IS IDENTIFIED FROM TIPS FROM USUALLY INTERNAL EMPLOYEES OR OTHER INTERNAL PROCEDURES SUCH AS

112
00:24:44.382 --> 00:24:58.997
REVIEW OF RECORDS AND THAT'S WHY IT'S SO IMPORTANT FOR THE CITY TO HAVE A SUFFICIENT AND SOUND SET OF INTERNAL CONTROLS WHICH IS THE NEXT REPORT AND

113
00:24:58.997 --> 00:25:11.009
SO WE LOOK AT THE CITY'S INTERNAL CONTROLS OR ITS POLICIES AND PROCEDURES OVER FINANCES AS PART OF THE AUDIT COMING INTERNAL CONTROLS, PROPER DISBURSEMENTS, A REVIEW

114
00:25:11.009 --> 00:25:21.152
OF MONTHLY BANK RECONCILIATIONS, MAKING SURE THERE IS AN IDEAL SEGREGATION OF DUTIES, CHECKS AND BALANCES ARE IN PLACE THAT NO ONE PERSON HAS TOO MUCH

115
00:25:21.152 --> 00:25:33.031
RESPONSIBILITY IN ANY GIVEN AREA AND THEN ON THE BACK END MAKING SURE THAT FINANCIAL INFORMATION IS REVIEWED BY MANAGEMENT. THE RESULTS NO FINDINGS WERE

116
00:25:33.031 --> 00:25:45.210
DETECTED RELATING TO THE CITY'S INTERNAL CONTROLS. THE NEXT REPORT WE ISSUE IS A REPORT RELATING TO MINNESOTA LEGAL COMPLIANCE.

117
00:25:45.210 --> 00:25:57.388
THE STATE AUDITOR ISSUES A GUIDE THAT WE COMPLETE AS PART OF THE AUDIT. IT CONTAINS SEVEN SECTIONS LISTED THERE. FOR EXAMPLE, WE'RE TESTING FOR COMPLIANCE OVER INVESTMENTS

118
00:25:57.388 --> 00:26:09.067
MAKING SURE THE CITY IS ONLY INVESTING IN SECURITIES THAT ARE AUTHORIZED BY STATE STATUTES AND THERE'S STATUTES RELATING TO DEBT AND AGAIN

119
00:26:09.067 --> 00:26:16.875
DISBURSEMENTS. IT'S A COMMON ONE TAX INCREMENT. SO A VARIETY OF STATE STATUTES THAT WE'RE TESTING FOR AS PART

120
00:26:16.875 --> 00:26:33.691
OF THE AUDIT AND AGAIN NO NO COMPLIANCE FINDINGS WERE NOTED THIS NEXT IS AN AUDIT COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS A FEDERAL SINGLE AUDIT. THIS IS REQUIRED WHEN MORE

121
00:26:33.691 --> 00:26:44.435
THAN $1 MILLION OF FEDERAL FUNDS ARE EXPENDED DURING THE YEAR THIS PAST YEAR AND 2025 WE TESTED THE SECTION EIGHT HOUSING CHOICE VOUCHERS PROGRAM.

122
00:26:44.435 --> 00:26:53.511
SO AGAIN WE'RE GAINING AN UNDERSTANDING AND TESTING THE CONTROLS OVER THE COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS OF THE PROGRAM. WE'RE TESTING A SAMPLE OF FEDERAL EXPENDITURES AS

123
00:26:53.511 --> 00:27:05.657
PART OF THAT SINGLE AUDIT AND WE DID NOTE ONE COMPLIANCE FINDING RELATING TO ALLOWABLE COSTS AND ELIGIBLE TO AND THAT

124
00:27:05.657 --> 00:27:17.602
FINDING IT'S A REPEAT OR A CARRY FORWARD FINDING FROM 2024. SO WE IDENTIFIED THIS ITEM ABOUT THIS TIME LAST YEAR AND

125
00:27:17.602 --> 00:27:27.811
STEPS WERE MADE TO CORRECT THIS AND IT'S IT'S AN ONGOING IMPROVEMENT PROCESS BUT THEN WE COME ALONG FOR THE 2025 AUDIT AND WE GO BACK TO JANUARY 1ST AND WE'RE TESTING

126
00:27:27.811 --> 00:27:38.723
ALL OF 2025. SO WE REALLY DIDN'T REPORT THIS FINDING UNTIL MAY OR JUNE TIMEFRAME OF 2025. SO THERE'S THAT TIME PERIOD

127
00:27:38.723 --> 00:27:51.102
THAT I ALMOST READ REPORTING ON BUT THAT'S JUST JUST THE WAY IT GOES FOR THAT THE HOW THE TESTS AND THE TIMING OF THIS WORKS. SO WHAT WE DID FIND IS FOR THE

128
00:27:51.102 --> 00:27:58.409
TENANT FILE CHECKLIST THAT SHOULD BE IN EACH TENANTS FILE 13 OUT OF 25 OF THOSE CHECKLIST DID NOT EXIST IN THE

129
00:27:58.409 --> 00:28:13.057
FILE AND FOR TWO TENANTS THE HOUSING ASSISTANT PAYMENT THEY RECEIVED INCORRECTLY INCLUDED AN AMOUNT FOR UTILITIES AND THAT WAS DUE BECAUSE OF THEIR LEASE HAD CHANGED WITHIN THE

130
00:28:13.057 --> 00:28:23.668
PAST YEAR OR TWO. IT USED TO INCLUDE UTILITIES AND THEN IT DIDN'T SO THERE THEIR PAYMENT DIDN'T GET UPDATED FOR THAT CHANGE IN THEIR LEASE.

131
00:28:23.668 --> 00:28:35.213
AND THEN FOR ONE TENANT THE TENANT DID NOT REPORT THEIR CORRECT AMOUNT OF INCOME SO THEY REALLY SHOULD NOT HAVE QUALIFIED FOR A HOUSING ASSISTANCE PAYMENT.

132
00:28:35.213 --> 00:28:45.924
AND TO PUT SOME CONTEXT ON THINGS, THE THE OVERALL QUESTION COST FROM THOSE ITEMS $4,184 AND THEN IN THE

133
00:28:45.924 --> 00:28:57.869
GOVERNANCE LETTER NOTHING REALLY TOO SIGNIFICANT IN THE LETTER THIS YEAR IT DOES HIGHLIGHT THAT THERE WERE NO NEW ACCOUNTING POLICIES ADOPTED BY THE CITY.

134
00:28:57.869 --> 00:29:08.413
THERE ARE A FEW ESTIMATES IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SUCH AS THE THE DISCOUNT RATE USED BY THE ACTUARY FOR THE PENSION LIABILITY ESTIMATES RELATED TO LAND HELD FOR

135
00:29:08.413 --> 00:29:21.192
RESALE AND CLAIMS PAYABLE ONCE AGAIN THE STAFF ARE VERY WELL PREPARED FOR THE AUDIT. THINGS WERE READY ON TIME, EASY TO WORK WITH.

136
00:29:21.192 --> 00:29:32.837
EVERYTHING WENT SMOOTHLY FOR THE AUDIT SO WE HIGHLIGHT THAT THERE ARE NO DIFFICULTIES ENCOUNTERED OR DISAGREEMENTS DURING THE AUDIT. NO MISTAKE MENT'S WERE

137
00:29:32.837 --> 00:29:44.382
DETECTED ABOVE ANYTHING THAT WAS MAYBE VERY CLEARLY TRIVIAL. AND THEN WE'RE ALSO REQUIRED TO POINT OUT ANY FOOTNOTES

138
00:29:44.382 --> 00:29:56.026
IN THIS DOCUMENT SINCE IT IS FAIRLY THICK AND THERE'S THERE'S A LOT IN HERE BUT WHAT FOOTNOTES MIGHT BE MOST SENSITIVE OR THAT THE COUNCIL

139
00:29:56.026 --> 00:30:05.837
MIGHT BE MOST INTERESTED IN? SO I HIGHLIGHT NOTE SEVEN IT'S ON LONG TERM LIABILITIES WHICH INCLUDES THE BONDS PAYABLE OF THE CITY. IF I WAS A COUNCIL MEMBER I'D

140
00:30:05.837 --> 00:30:19.083
WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THE DEBT. TURNING A LOOK A LITTLE BIT MORE INTO FINANCIAL INFORMATION THE CITY ONCE AGAIN RECEIVED THE CERTIFICATE OF ACHIEVEMENT FOR EXCELLENCE

141
00:30:19.083 --> 00:30:29.593
IN FINANCIAL REPORTING RELATING TO ITS 2024 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND WE'RE EXPECTING TO AGAIN BE AWARDED FOR THE

142
00:30:29.593 --> 00:30:41.372
55TH YEAR BASED ON THE 2025 DOCUMENT. AND THEN I JUST WANT TO HIGHLIGHT IT YOU KNOW, STAFF DO A TREMENDOUS JOB AND THEY

143
00:30:41.372 --> 00:30:52.617
PUT IN A LOT OF TIME AND EFFORT INTO PREPARING THIS DOCUMENT. IT'S QUITE A THICK LET'S SEE IT'S OVER 200 PAGES BUT IN THE

144
00:30:52.617 --> 00:31:04.028
FRONT OF IT THERE IS A TRANSMITTAL LETTER WHICH HIGHLIGHTS ECONOMIC CONDITION AND OUTLOOK MAJOR INITIATIVES SOME OF THE MORE MAYBE MORE

145
00:31:04.028 --> 00:31:15.139
MEANINGFUL THINGS ACTUALLY THAN A LOOK BACK AT THE NUMBERS. THERE'S ALSO MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS WHICH PROVIDES A NICE OVERVIEW OF WHAT HAPPENED DURING THE

146
00:31:15.139 --> 00:31:26.451
YEAR AS WELL AS HITS ON SOME ECONOMIC FACTORS. SO IF YOU'RE LOOKING TO MAYBE READ PART BUT NOT ALL OF THAT DOCUMENT THOSE TWO PORTIONS

147
00:31:26.451 --> 00:31:35.226
OF IT NEAR THE FRONT I THINK ARE PROVIDE A NICE OVERVIEW AND THEN FOLLOWING THAT IS OUR INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT AND THEN THE FINANCIAL

148
00:31:35.226 --> 00:31:49.340
STATEMENTS, FOOTNOTES AND FURTHER STATISTICS ON THE CITY ,A LOOK AT THE GENERAL FUND AND HOW IT EVERYTHING TURNED

149
00:31:49.340 --> 00:32:02.920
OUT IN 2025 THE FINAL BUDGET CALLED FOR A $6.7 MILLION USAGE OF FUND BALANCE AND THE ACTUAL RESULTS TURNED OUT A $278,000 USAGE OF FUND

150
00:32:02.920 --> 00:32:13.898
BALANCE. SO THERE WAS A FAVORABLE VARIANCE FOR REVENUES PRIMARILY RELATED TO LICENSES AND PERMITS AND INVESTMENT INCOME AS RATES REMAINED

151
00:32:13.898 --> 00:32:23.708
STRONG IN 2025. AND THEN ON THE EXPENDITURE SIDE WE ALL DEPARTMENTS AND FUNCTIONS CAME IN UNDER BUDGET. SO THAT'S KIND OF SPREAD

152
00:32:23.708 --> 00:32:31.448
ACROSS THE CITY. THEIR BUDGETED SAVINGS A FIVE YEAR HISTORY OF THE GENERAL

153
00:32:31.448 --> 00:32:44.795
FUND FUND BALANCE FINISHED 2025 WITH $55.3 MILLION IN FUND BALANCE COMPARING FUND BALANCE AS A PERCENTAGE TO

154
00:32:44.795 --> 00:32:55.339
NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET. THAT DID DIP A LITTLE BIT AS THERE WAS JUST A SLIGHT DECREASE IN FUND BALANCE BUT THE BUDGETED EXPENDITURES FOR

155
00:32:55.339 --> 00:33:05.382
NEXT YEAR CONTINUE TO INCREASE MAINLY DUE TO INFLATIONARY COSTS GOING UP. SO THAT FUND BALANCE OF 55

156
00:33:05.382 --> 00:33:16.794
MILLION THERE ARE A FEW RESTRICTIONS AND COMMITMENTS RELATED TO THAT FUND BALANCE AT THE END OF 2025 $49.7

157
00:33:16.794 --> 00:33:28.906
MILLION OF THAT WAS UNASSIGNED . BUT AS YOU KNOW THE CITY'S PRIMARY FUNDING SOURCES PROPERTY TAXES AND THAT FIRST PROPERTY TAX PAYMENT FOR 2026

158
00:33:28.906 --> 00:33:39.216
ISN'T RECEIVED UNTIL JULY 1ST. SO THERE'S THERE'S THE NEED TO HAVE REALLY SIX MONTHS OF RESERVES ON HAND TO FUND OPERATIONS FOR THE FIRST HALF

159
00:33:39.216 --> 00:33:49.960
OF THE YEAR. PAST FUND BALANCE IS ALSO IMPORTANT FOR OUR RESERVES AND ANY EMERGENCIES THAT MIGHT COME UP AND IT HELPS SUZE

160
00:33:49.960 --> 00:34:01.372
SMOOTH THE EFFECTS OF ANY POTENTIAL NEEDS AND DECREASE VOLATILITY IN THE FUTURE. SO BLOOMINGTON MET ITS WORKING CAPITAL GOALS FOR THE YEAR.

161
00:34:01.372 --> 00:34:13.150
SO FROM MY OPINION EVERYTHING IS IN SOLID FINANCIAL CONDITION AND I THINK THAT'S IT. SO YEAH, I'D BE HAPPY TO

162
00:34:13.150 --> 00:34:24.095
ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE AND IF NOT I THINK YOU'VE GOT A MOTION TO APPROVE THE AUDIT. THANK YOU MR. HARING THANKS FOR THE THE THOROUGH WORK THAT

163
00:34:24.095 --> 00:34:34.304
YOU AND YOUR YOUR FOLKS DO AT REDPATH GREATLY APPRECIATE IT AND APPRECIATE THE THE FEEDBACK THAT WE GET ON ON OUR OPERATIONS AND OUR BUDGET THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. SO I APPRECIATE THAT COUNSEL

164
00:34:34.304 --> 00:34:46.717
ANY QUESTIONS OF MR. HERRING? >> COUNCILMEMBER DALLESSANDRO THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. JUST ONE QUESTION. I DIDN'T WANT TO I DON'T WANT TO ASSUME OR HEAR AN IMPLICATION IN YOUR STATEMENT SO I FIGURED I'D JUST ASK YOU FOR CLARIFICATION ON THE ONE

165
00:34:46.717 --> 00:34:57.061
FINDING IT SEEMED TO INDICATE THAT IT WAS MORE OF A TIMING ISSUE THAN ANYTHING ELSE THAT YOU YOU MADE YOU BELIEVE THAT WE PROBABLY HAVE IN CONTROL NOW THE THE ITEMS THAT WOULD

166
00:34:57.061 --> 00:35:08.706
PREVENT THAT OVERSIGHT IN THE FUTURE. IT'S JUST THAT THAT PARTICULAR VIOLATION HAPPENED DURING THE PERIOD OF TIME BETWEEN THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR AND WHEN

167
00:35:08.706 --> 00:35:19.717
THOSE FINDINGS WERE MADE AND THEREFORE IT AT THIS TIME NEXT YEAR WE WOULD MAYBE NOT SEE AN ISSUE IN THAT REGARD. IS THAT A FAIR ASCERTAINING OF YOUR COMMENTARY? I DON'T WANT TO PUT WORDS

168
00:35:19.717 --> 00:35:34.098
IN YOUR MOUTH SO I FIGURED I'D ASK YOU HOW THOSE TENANT FILES ARE REVIEWED ANNUALLY. SO IT'S IT'S KIND OF A PROCESS TO CATCH UP AND YEAH THERE ARE I THINK I MENTIONED 13 OF THE 25 WERE MISSING THAT CHECKLIST

169
00:35:34.098 --> 00:35:45.276
. THE VAST MAJORITY OF THOSE WERE EARLY IN 2025. SO IMPROVEMENTS ARE BEING SEEN AND I CERTAINLY HOPE THAT THAT FINDING WILL GO AWAY AS THE

170
00:35:45.276 --> 00:35:55.719
HOUSING AUTHORITY IS WAS MORE STAFFED UP IN 2025 AND IS WHERE THE FINDING HAS BEEN REVIEWING THOSE FILES MORE CLOSELY. RIGHT. OKAY.

171
00:35:55.719 --> 00:36:08.399
THANKS BRIDGET AMOS MAYOR, ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS? COUNCILMEMBER NELSON YEAH. THANK YOU MAYOR ALONG THE SAME LINES AND THIS PROBABLY ISN'T FOR YOU BUT MAYBE FOR STAFF ARE THERE ANY EFFORTS, ANY

172
00:36:08.399 --> 00:36:18.743
OPPORTUNITIES OR ANY NEED TO TRY TO RECOUP ANY OF THAT MONEY? I KNOW IT WAS $4,000 BUT IT'S NOT A HUGE SUM BUT IT'S STILL SOMETHING.

173
00:36:18.743 --> 00:36:31.622
IS THAT A POSSIBILITY AND SOMETHING WE'RE WORKING ON ON MR. WALKER OR HIM IS KIND OF A SHOULDER AT THE MOMENT. COUNCILMEMBER I'M NOT CERTAIN

174
00:36:31.622 --> 00:36:43.000
WHERE THAT IS AT IN THE PROCESS BUT THAT IS CERTAINLY SOMETHING WE CAN FOLLOW UP AND PROVIDE AN ANSWER TO THE FULL COUNCIL. NO FURTHER QUESTIONS.

175
00:36:43.000 --> 00:36:52.543
COUNCIL VERY GOOD. THANKS SO MUCH, MR. HERRING. APPRECIATE YOUR WORK. YOU'RE WELCOME. THANK YOU. WITH THAT COUNCIL I WOULD ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO ACCEPT THE CITY'S ANNUAL COMPREHENSIVE FINANCIAL REPORT

176
00:36:52.543 --> 00:37:04.221
FOR CALENDAR YEAR 2025 MOTION BY COUNCILMEMBER DALLESSANDRO ,SECOND BY COUNCILMEMBER RIVAS TO ACCEPT THE CITY'S ANNUAL COMPREHENSIVE FINANCIAL REPORT FOR CALENDAR YEAR 2025. NO FURTHER COUNCIL DISCUSSION ON THIS.

177
00:37:04.221 --> 00:37:15.966
ALL THOSE IN FAVOR PLEASE SIGNIFY BY SAYING I OPPOSED THE MOTION CARRIES 70I DO I CONSENT BUSINESS COUNCILMEMBER CARTER HASN'T SAID A CONSENT CALENDAR TONIGHT.

178
00:37:15.966 --> 00:37:24.308
COUNCILMEMBER CARTER THANK YOU MAYOR. SO I DO HAVE ONE HOLD. COUNCILMEMBER NELSON WOULD LIKE TO HOLD 3.4 LAST CALL ANY ADDITIONAL HOLDS FROM ANYBODY

179
00:37:24.308 --> 00:37:33.918
ELSE? OKAY. SO WITH THAT I WOULD MOVE TO APPROVE ITEMS 3.1 THROUGH 3.3

180
00:37:33.918 --> 00:37:45.762
AND 3.5 THROUGH 3.27 MOTION MY COUNCILMEMBER CARTER SECOND BY COUNCILMEMBER DALLESSANDRO TO ACCEPT TONIGHT'S CONSENT AGENDA AS STATED NO FOR THE COUNCIL DISCUSSION ON THIS.

181
00:37:45.762 --> 00:37:59.210
ALL THOSE IN FAVOR PLEASE SIGNIFY BY SAYING I OPPOSED MOTION CARRIES SEVEN ZERO ITEM 3.4 COUNCILMEMBER NELSON YEAH . THANK YOU MAYOR. I HAD A FEW INDIVIDUALS COME

182
00:37:59.210 --> 00:38:10.287
UP AND TALK TO ME AFTER THE LISTENING SESSION THEY HAD CONCERNS ABOUT THIS ITEM AND FIRST I'D LIKE TO APOLOGIZE BECAUSE I THOUGHT THIS WAS A PUBLIC HEARING AND IT'S NOT SO

183
00:38:10.287 --> 00:38:21.632
IF IT'S ALL RIGHT, I'M GOING TO TRY TO SUMMARIZE THEIR CONCERNS JUST QUICKLY SO THAT THE ENTIRE COUNCIL IS AWARE OF THOSE BEFORE VOTING ON THAT. SO I THINK THE BIGGEST THING

184
00:38:21.632 --> 00:38:33.243
IS THEY'RE CONCERNED ABOUT FITTING IN ANOTHER HOUSE ON A SMALL PORTION OF LARGE LOTS ARE PARTICULARLY OVERLOOKING BUSH LAKE AND HOW IT MAY NOT

185
00:38:33.243 --> 00:38:45.222
FIT WITH THE CHARACTER OF THAT EXISTING NEIGHBORHOOD. THEY'RE THERE. THEY HAD CONCERNS WITH REGARDS TO THE NOTICE THEY JUST RECENTLY RECEIVED THAT AND I

186
00:38:45.222 --> 00:38:56.267
DID TRY TO TALK TO THEM ABOUT THE THE CHANGES WE MADE WITH REGARDS TO THE SIZE OF PROPERTIES, THE MINIMUM LOT SIZE SETBACKS AND THINGS THAT WE MADE A FEW YEARS BACK ALL

187
00:38:56.267 --> 00:39:08.779
OF THOSE TYPES OF ITEMS. SO IN GENERAL THEY THEY ARE NOT SUPPORTIVE OF THIS AND ARE JUST AGAIN CONCERNED ABOUT

188
00:39:08.779 --> 00:39:19.623
ADDITIONAL HOUSE IN A NEIGHBORHOOD THAT IS FULLY DEVELOPED AND MAYBE NOT EXPECTING THAT. SO HOPEFULLY I SUMMARIZE YOUR

189
00:39:19.623 --> 00:39:33.571
COMMENTS APPROPRIATELY FOR YOU THAT I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE COUNCIL WAS AWARE THAT THERE WERE CONCERNS ABOUT THIS ITEM. THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER NELSON. I APPRECIATE THAT. AND JUST TO LET YOU FOLKS KNOW

190
00:39:33.571 --> 00:39:45.082
,WE TYPICALLY WOULD WE HAD THE OPTION OF OPENING IT UP TO PUBLIC COMMENT HERE BUT I DON'T LIKE TO DO THAT WHEN WE HAVEN'T NOTICED IT BECAUSE THEN EVERYBODY DOESN'T HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY. SO IT WOULD BE KIND OF SELECTIVE THE FOLKS WHO WERE HERE. BUT WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO OFFER

191
00:39:45.082 --> 00:39:56.794
AND IF THIS WOULD BE OKAY WITH YOU COUNCILMEMBER AND FOLKS WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO IS HOLD THIS OVER UNTIL NEXT WEEK BECAUSE WE DO ACCEPT THINGS DOWN ON OUR AGENDA THAT DON'T HAVE PUBLIC COMMENT ATTACHED TO THAT YOU CAN MAKE PUBLIC

192
00:39:56.794 --> 00:40:06.137

206
00:42:28.111 --> 00:42:40.524

223
00:45:39.036 --> 00:45:49.480
DIFFERENT ZONING IS THAT A CONCERN AT ALL FOR STAFF THAT THERE'S LIKE OUR ONE ZONING BECAUSE OF THE ONE PORTION OF THE PROPERTY THAT'S

228
00:46:35.692 --> 00:46:46.903
A PART OF THIS IS THAT OTHER SECTION LIKE OF MORE OPEN LAND OFF THE OFF THE OFF THE FEEDER ROAD IF YOU WILL. ALSO PART OF THIS DEVELOPMENT TRACK.

229
00:46:46.903 --> 00:46:59.116
IT'S NOT INCLUDED EXPLICITLY HERE BUT I WOULD ASSUME THAT INGRESS EGRESS FROM A CONVENIENCE STORE AND I'M ASSUMING A GAS STATION IS GOING TO NEED THAT AND SO I JUST DIDN'T KNOW IF THAT WAS

230
00:46:59.116 --> 00:47:10.527
PART OF THIS OR NOT. YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT THAT KIND OF OPEN LOT THAT HAS THIS KIND OF SWEEPING DRIVEWAY. I JUST WAS CURIOUS IF THAT WAS ALSO PART OF THIS.

231
00:47:10.527 --> 00:47:21.504
>> I MEAN SPEAK TO THAT MR. MAYOR COUNCILMAN ADELE SANDRO ,THAT LOT IS NOT PART OF THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT QUIKTRIP DID NEGOTIATE WITH THAT PROPERTY OWNER AND TRY TO OBTAIN THAT PARCEL AND INCORPORATE INTO THE DEVELOPMENT THEY WERE NOT ABLE

232

00:47:55.038 --> 00:48:05.649

237
00:48:15.592 --> 00:48:26.402
TO ADOPT AN ORDINANCE APPROVING THE VACATION OF PUBLIC DRAINAGE AND UTILITY EASEMENTS OVER AN ACROSS LOTS ONE AND TWO BLOCK ONE WHITNEY ADDITION HENNEPIN COUNTY, MINNESOTA. THANK YOU.

238
00:48:26.402 --> 00:48:37.113
SECOND MOTION BY COUNCILMEMBER DALLESSANDRO SECOND BY COUNCILMEMBER RIVAS TO ADOPT AN ORDINANCE APPROVING THE VACATION OF PUBLIC DRAINAGE AND UTILITY EASEMENTS OVER AND ACROSS LOT ONE AND TWO BLOCK ONE WHITNEY ADDITION HENNEPIN

239
00:48:37.113 --> 00:48:47.324
COUNTY NO FURTHER COUNCIL DISCUSSION ON THIS. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR PLEASE SIGNIFY BY SAYING I. I OPPOSED MOTION CARRIES SEVEN ZERO. THANK YOU MUCH, MR. MAYOR. IF I COULD I JUST ASK A

240
00:48:47.324 --> 00:48:59.336
QUESTION AS IT'S RELATED TO THE QUIKTRIP. I KNOW THAT WE HAD THE REPRESENTATIVES FROM QUIKTRIP COME TO US IN A LISTENING SESSION NOT THAT LONG AGO AND ASK FOR RELIEF ON OUR OUR ISSUE RELATED TO TOBACCO NEVER

241
00:48:59.336 --> 00:49:10.446
HEARD ANYTHING LOVE TO SEE THIS MOVING FORWARD. KIND OF WONDERING IF THAT GOT RESOLVED SOMEHOW AND THEY'RE WILLING BECAUSE I THINK IT'S ACTUALLY A REALLY COOL STORY THAT QUIKTRIP IS WILLING TO COME TO A PLACE THAT DOESN'T HAVE TOBACCO SALES POTENTIALLY UNLESS THAT'S NOT WHAT'S

242
00:49:10.446 --> 00:49:21.291
HAPPENING. AND SO I JUST WANTED TO KIND OF TEE THAT UP FOR FUTURE DISCUSSION REFERRED TO TO HAVE SOMEBODY COME BACK AND TALK TO US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT THEIR DECISION WAS AND WHY THEY MADE THAT WAS THINKING THE SAME THING NOT PURSUANT TO THIS SO PERHAPS WE COULD PICK

243
00:49:21.291 --> 00:49:33.737
THAT UP MAYBE AT THE END OR MAYBE A STAFF WILL BE ABLE TO COME UP WITH AN ANSWER OR OR MAYBE IT'S JUST TBD, WHICH IS ENTIRELY POSSIBLE. I'M VERY, VERY SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

244
00:49:33.737 --> 00:49:46.082
ITEM 4.2 ON OUR AGENDA IS OUR SECOND PUBLIC HEARING OF THE EVENING. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING CITY CODE AMENDMENTS CORNER LOT STANDARDS. THIS ASPECT IS WITH US AGAIN WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS A FEW TIMES AND YES WE HAVE TONIGHT. YES.

245
00:49:46.082 --> 00:49:56.225
YES. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS. YES, WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE SO I THINK I CAN KIND OF SPEED RUN THIS BUT BASICALLY WE WENT TO A PUBLIC

246
00:49:56.225 --> 00:50:07.637
HEARING FOR PLANNING COMMISSION ON MAY 21ST AND NOW WE ARE HERE. SO SOME BACKGROUND BLOOMINGTON'S CURRENT ZONING RULES TREAT ALL STREET FACING YARDS ON LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL CORNER LOTS AS

247
00:50:07.637 --> 00:50:19.015
FRONT YARDS. THIS RESULTS IN LARGER LOT SIZE REQUIREMENTS, INCREASED SETBACKS AND STRICTER REGULATIONS COMPARED TO INTERIOR LOTS. THESE STANDARDS MAY HINDER THE CITY'S GOAL OF ENCOURAGING INFILL DEVELOPMENT AND IMPROVING HOUSING

248
00:50:19.015 --> 00:50:30.227
AFFORDABILITY WHILE ALSO CREATING INEQUITIES FOR CORNER LOT OWNERS BY LIMITING THEIR ABILITY TO EXPAND THEIR HOMES OR ADD ACCESSORY STRUCTURES. THE ORDINANCE PROPOSAL SEEKS TO INCREASE FLEXIBILITY AND

249
00:50:30.227 --> 00:50:39.869
REDUCE HINDRANCES TO DEVELOPMENT FOR CORNER LOT OWNERS THIS SLIDE SHOWS A SUMMARY OF THE ITEMS PROPOSED TO CHANGE IN THE ORDINANCE. I'LL GO THROUGH EACH TOPIC INDIVIDUALLY IN THE UPCOMING

250
00:50:39.869 --> 00:50:50.347
SLIDES. THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE REDUCES A SETBACK REQUIREMENT FOR PRIMARY AND ACCESSORY STRUCTURES INCLUDING ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS ON CORNER LOTS

251
00:50:50.347 --> 00:51:02.592
FROM 30FT TO 20FT ALONG THE SIDE STREET LOT LINE. THIS CHANGE WOULD MAKE BETTER USE OF CORNER LOT SPACE BY TREATING SIDE STREET YARDS MORE LIKE SIDE YARDS INSTEAD OF FRONT YARDS.

252
00:51:02.592 --> 00:51:14.337
THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE ALSO RECOMMENDS LOWERING THE MINIMUM SITE AREA REQUIREMENTS FOR CORNER LOTS. THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE WOULD REDUCE THE MINIMUM SITE AREA FOR SINGLE FAMILY HOMES FROM

253
00:51:14.337 --> 00:51:28.185
11,050FT TO 9100FT AND FOR TWO FAMILY HOMES FROM 14,625 TO 11,700FT. THESE CHANGES RESPOND TO FEEDBACK FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND CITY COUNCIL

254
00:51:28.185 --> 00:51:38.495
AND ARE INTENDED TO ALIGN LOT SIZES WITH PROPOSED SETBACK REQUIREMENTS AND TYPICAL BUILDING PAD SIZE. THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE WOULD ALSO REDUCE MINIMUM SITE WIDTH

255
00:51:38.495 --> 00:51:50.707
REQUIREMENTS FOR CORNER LOTS. THE NEW MINIMUM WIDTHS WOULD BE 70FT FOR SINGLE FAMILY LOTS AND 90FT FOR TWO FAMILY LOTS COMPARED TO THE CURRENT 100 FOOT REQUIREMENT FOR BOTH THE

256
00:51:50.707 --> 00:52:02.285
PLANNING COMMISSION AND CITY COUNCIL DIRECTED STAFF TO ALLOW ACCESSORY STRUCTURES IN THE SIDE STREET YARD BETWEEN THE PRIMARY STRUCTURE AND THE SIDE STREET LOT LINE. THIS WOULD ALLOW CORNER LOT

257
00:52:02.285 --> 00:52:13.196
OWNERS TO HAVE MORE SPACE TO PLACE ACCESSORY STRUCTURES ON THEIR LOT. WITH THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE THERE WOULD STILL BE A 20 FOOT SETBACK REQUIREMENT FROM THE SIDE STREET LOT LINE.

258
00:52:13.196 --> 00:52:25.508
SEVERAL DEFINITIONS WERE ADDED AND ADDED IN ED MADE IN THIS ORDINANCE TO ENSURE CONSISTENCY A IMPROVE CLARITY. THE NEW DEFINITIONS ESTABLISH A SIDE STREET LOT LINE AND YARD WHICH WILL BE DISCUSSED

259
00:52:25.508 --> 00:52:37.854
BRIEFLY ON THE NEXT SLIDE. SO THIS FIGURE OUTLINES WHAT THE SIDE STREET YARD WOULD BE WHAT THE NEW DEFINITION AND THE REAR YARD. SO IN ORDER TO SUPPORT THE

260
00:52:37.854 --> 00:52:49.099
REDUCED SETBACKS ALONG STREETS STAFF IS PROPOSING TO ADD A NEW DEFINITION FOR SIDE STREET YARD AND SIDE STREET LOT LINE TO IMPROVE CLARITY THIS ALLOWS GREATER FLEXIBILITY FOR CORNER

261
00:52:49.099 --> 00:53:00.110
LOT OWNERS TO USE THE SIDE STREET YARD DIFFERENTLY THAN A SIDE SLASH REAR YARD. AS FAR AS PLANNING COMMISSION GOES THEY HAD A SHORT

262
00:53:00.110 --> 00:53:10.854
DISCUSSION AND RECOMMENDED APPROVAL 5 TO 0 AT THE PUBLIC HEARING ON MAY 21ST. AND WITH THAT HERE'S THE RECOMMENDATION AND I'M AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS.

263
00:53:10.854 --> 00:53:21.530
THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANKS FOR CLARIFYING. WE'VE HAD LONG DISCUSSIONS ON THIS. I APPRECIATE YOU CLARIFYING IT AND CONDENSING IT ALL INTO BITE SIZED PORTIONS THAT WE CAN USE COUNSEL ANY QUESTIONS

264
00:53:21.530 --> 00:53:32.708
ON THIS ASPECT? COUNCIL MEMBER LIMITED AND COUNCILMEMBER NELSON JUST ROLL QUICKLY IF YOU COULD TALK A LITTLE BIT I KNOW WE TALKED ABOUT THIS IN A LITTLE MORE DETAIL IN OUR LAST DISCUSSION

265
00:53:32.708 --> 00:53:43.620
AROUND THE SCREENING REQUIREMENTS FOR THAT SITE IF YOU HAVE TO YOU IN THAT SPACE WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE IN AND ANY CONCERNS THAT STAFF HAS ABOUT THAT.

266
00:53:43.620 --> 00:53:55.098
MAYOR COUNCILMEMBER LOGAN SO THERE WOULDN'T BE SCREENING REQUIREMENTS FOR AN ADU BUT SIMILAR TO I GUESS NOW A PRIMARY DWELLING AND ANY OTHER TYPE OF ACCESSORY STRUCTURE

267
00:53:55.098 --> 00:54:06.609
LIKE A SHUTTER GARAGE THERE COULD BE PLACED ON A 20 FOOT SETBACK SO THAT IF MORE PEOPLE DO THAT THAT MIGHT ADD TO MORE LIGHT CONSISTENCY IN THE VISUAL LOOK. BUT I DON'T THINK STAFF IS TOO

268
00:54:06.609 --> 00:54:17.053
CONCERNED ABOUT THAT DIFFERENCE RIGHT NOW. OKAY. NO CONCERN ABOUT PRIVACY OR AT ALL. LOOK IN ANOTHER PART. COUNCILMEMBER NELSON YEP. THANK YOU.

269
00:54:17.053 --> 00:54:28.364
JUST A VERY QUICK QUESTION. SO IN THE ZONING BECAUSE IN PREPPING FOR THIS MEETING I WAS REMINDED THAT I RAN INTO THIS ONCE AND ST LOUIS PARK WHAT HAPPENS IF WHAT EVERYONE

270
00:54:28.364 --> 00:54:40.310
WOULD LOOK AT THE HOUSE AND WHAT THE SIDE YARD IS IS ACTUALLY THE FRONT YARD VERSUS THE FRONT YARD IS ACTUALLY THE SIDE YARD AND THAT SORT

271
00:54:40.310 --> 00:54:51.354
OF THING BECAUSE WE HAD TO END UP GOING THROUGH A VARIANCE PROCESS ON A PROJECT THERE WHICH WHICH PASSED AFTER A LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT SIDEWALKS. SO IT CAN YOU EXPLAIN HOW

272
00:54:51.354 --> 00:55:03.399
THOSE VARIANCES WOULD WORK OR NOT VARIANCE BUT HOW THAT A TYPICAL SITUATION MIGHT WORK? MHM. MAYOR COUNCILMEMBER NELSON I WELCOME PLANNING MANAGER

273
00:55:03.399 --> 00:55:14.944
JOHNSON TO CORRECT ME IF HE HAS A BETTER ANSWER BUT TYPICALLY WE LOOK AT THOSE ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS SO WE WOULD LOOK AT WHERE THE NOW

274
00:55:14.944 --> 00:55:24.487
REQUIRED SETBACKS ARE. SO IF THERE'S A 30 FOOT SETBACK ON ONE SIDE AND THEN LIKE A TEN FOOT SETBACK ON THE OTHER SIDE WE KNOW LIKE OKAY, THOSE ARE THE SIDE YARDS AND

275
00:55:24.487 --> 00:55:35.631
THEN A 30 FOOT AND A 30 FOOT WOULD BE FRONT AND REAR. SO IT'S NOT ALWAYS THE SAME BUT IT'S TYPICALLY WE KIND OF LOOK AT EACH LOT AND HOW IT

276
00:55:35.631 --> 00:55:48.544
WAS BUILT AND HOW THAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED. OKAY. I APPRECIATE THAT ANSWER BECAUSE I KNOW THAT THERE THEY HAD A VERY STRICT BASED ON THE WIDTH AND IN EACH DIRECTION

277
00:55:48.544 --> 00:55:56.452
AND WHICH ONE WAS FRONT WHICH ONE WAS SIDE EVEN THOUGH THE HOUSE ORIENTATION WAS COMPLETELY TWO I MEAN THE FRONT DOOR AND THE GARAGE WERE ON THE SIDE YARD.

278
00:55:56.452 --> 00:56:08.864
BUT THERE WAS A WEIRD WAY THAT THE LOT WENT BACKWARDS SO THE GREATER WIDTH WAS THE OTHER DIRECTION AND THAT WAS ACTUALLY THE FRONT YARD AND SO THEY THEY WOULDN'T ALLOW FOR

279
00:56:08.864 --> 00:56:20.175
AN EXPANSION OF THE GARAGE. SORRY FOR TOO MUCH DETAIL HERE BUT I JUST IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE SOME DISCRETION TO LOOK AT WHAT MAKES SENSE. YEAH. MAYOR COUNCILOR NELSON SO WE APPLY THE DEFINITIONS IN THE

280
00:56:20.175 --> 00:56:31.654
CODE. THERE IS SOME DISCRETION IN THE DEFINITION. I MEAN THERE IS GENERAL PARAMETERS WITH RESPECT TO THE DEFINITION BUT IN MANY OF THE CASES BECAUSE IT'S A FULLY BUILT OUT COMMUNITY WE'RE LOOKING AT WHERE IS THERE A

281
00:56:31.654 --> 00:56:42.799
COMPLIANT REAR YARD SETBACK? RIGHT. AND SO THAT KIND OF DICTATES A LOT OF WHAT CAN BE THE SIDE YARD ALONG A STREET VERSUS THE FRONT YARD BECAUSE THE REAR HAS TO BE OPPOSITE THE FRONT AND SO THAT'S DICTATING A LOT

282
00:56:42.799 --> 00:56:53.509
OF IT. BUT IN ADDITION TO THAT, I MEAN, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU RELEASE THESE NEW DEFINITIONS INTO THE WILD, THEY'RE GOING TO WORK IN 90 PLUS PERCENTAGE OF THE SITUATIONS FOR THAT 5 TO 10% WHERE IT DOESN'T WORK.

283
00:56:53.509 --> 00:57:03.953
THAT'S WHY THE VARIANCE PROCESS DOES EXIST. YOU KNOW. COUNCILMEMBER DALLESSANDRO THANKS MR. MAYOR. JUST A QUICK FOLLOW UP ON THAT. SO I WAS GOING TO ASK THE WHAT PERCENTAGE DO WE THINK ARE

284
00:57:03.953 --> 00:57:14.430
GOING TO BE KIND OF SORT OF OUT OF COMPLIANCE IN THIS? IS IT IS IT GENERALLY THE RULE THAT WHERE THE WHERE THE FRONT DOOR IS IS CONSIDERED THE FRONT OF THE HOUSE EVEN EVEN IN AN ORIENTATION SCENARIO

285
00:57:14.430 --> 00:57:24.974
LIKE THAT OR IS IT LARGELY DETERMINED BY LIKE THE ADDRESS THAT IS DEFINED? YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW BY THE POSTAL SERVICE OR WHEREVER.

286
00:57:24.974 --> 00:57:36.319
HOW DOES HOW DO YOU DECIDE GENERALLY I'M REALIZING THERE'S EXCEPTIONS. YEAH. MAYOR COUNCILMAN DEL SANDRO SO IN THE DEFINITION IT TALKS ABOUT THE FRONT STREET BEING THE PRIMARY STREET DESIGNATED

287
00:57:36.319 --> 00:57:47.797
AS WHERE THE PRINCIPAL BUILDING ENTRANCES AND FRONTS OF THE BUILDING FACE THE STREET. AND SO THAT'S REALLY THE KEY LANGUAGE IN THE DEFINITION AND NO DOUBT THERE ARE PROPERTIES THAT HAVE KIND OF DO SEND

288
00:57:47.797 --> 00:57:58.908
MIXED SIGNALS. YEAH, A LITTLE BIT IN RESPECT TO THAT WE'LL ALSO LOOK TO THE DRIVEWAY AND THE GARAGE TYPICALLY AS TO IN COMBINATION WITH THE FRONT ENTRANCE. IF THOSE THINGS ARE SENDING DIFFERENT SIGNALS THEN THEN WE

289
00:57:58.908 --> 00:58:09.919
HAVE TO MAKE A LITTLE BIT OF A JUDGMENT CALL THERE. BUT AGAIN THAT'S WHY THE VARIANCE PROCESS DOES EXIST AS THAT YOU KNOW ZONING IS AN IMPERFECT TOOL. YOU'RE APPLYING IT ON A3D WORLD. THERE'S GOING TO BE SITUATIONS WHERE REGULATIONS DON'T FIT A

290
00:58:09.919 --> 00:58:21.397
PARTICULAR SITE PERFECTLY. ARE WE ARE WE REQUIRING PEOPLE TO PAY TO APPLY FOR A VARIANCE IN THIS SCENARIO OR IS THERE A WAIVER FOR VARIANCES IN THIS PARTICULAR SCENARIO GIVEN THE

291
00:58:21.397 --> 00:58:32.774
FACT THAT IT'S KIND OF LIKE OUR ARBITRARY RULE COMPARED TO LIKE THE SITUATION OF THEIR HOUSE BEING THERE FOR 50 YEARS OR WHATEVER? YEAH, IF IT WAS CLEARLY IN CONFLICT WITH THE DEFINITION THEN THEY WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE VARIANCE PROCESS I BELIEVE

292
00:58:32.774 --> 00:58:43.486
BECAUSE THEN IT JUST WOULDN'T BE CONSISTENT WITH THE CODE. BUT IF THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF DISCRETION THERE WE DO WANT TO WORK WITH FOLKS. THE ONE THING I WOULD SAY JUST TO CLARIFY FOR THE PUBLIC WE DON'T BELIEVE THIS THIS ORDINANCE IS GOING TO CREATE

293
00:58:43.486 --> 00:58:54.764
NEW NONCONFORMITY. THIS IS RELIEVING SOME RULES AND RELAXING SOME OF OUR EXISTING RULES SO WE DON'T ANTICIPATE THIS TO CREATE ANY NONCONFORMITY ON EXISTING PROPERTIES. OKAY.

294
00:58:54.764 --> 00:59:05.908
JUST FOR THE COUNCIL'S CONSIDERATION IN THE FUTURE, I DON'T I DON'T KNOW THAT WHEN WHEN WE'VE CREATED THE RULE THAT ALREADY EXISTS IN NATURE AND THEN THEY COME AND ASK FOR A VARIANCE WE SHOULD CHARGE THEM FOR THAT. THAT'S MY PERSONAL OPINION.

295
00:59:05.908 --> 00:59:16.352
THANK YOU COUNCIL MEMBER ANYTHING ELSE TO COUNCIL? ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS? HEARING NONE I WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING ON ITEM 4.2 THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING

296
00:59:16.352 --> 00:59:29.899
REGARDING CITY CODE AMENDMENTS REGARDING CAR LOT STANDARDS. ANYONE IN THE COUNCIL CHAMBERS WISH TO SPEAK TO ITE 4.2 THIS EVENING. GOOD EVENING AND WELCOME.

297
00:59:29.899 --> 00:59:40.810
GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS BRIAN SAVAGE. I WASN'T PREPARED TO SPEAK ON THIS TOPIC. I WAS MORE WRAPPED UP IN WHAT WAS HAPPENING IN NINE MILE CREEK BUT THAT'S A DIFFERENT

298
00:59:40.810 --> 00:59:52.355
SUBJECT. MY CONCERN AS WHEN WE CHANGED THE MINIMUM LOT SIZE IS WE'RE DISCUSSING THIS ALWAYS SAYS

299
00:59:52.355 --> 01:00:03.466
THE PROPERTY OWNER NOT THE SURROUNDING PROPERTY OWNERS I'VE OWNED MY PROPERTY FOR 50 YEARS. THIS HAPPENED TO ME.

300
01:00:03.466 --> 01:00:12.808
IT WENT THROUGH VARIOUS VARIANCE PROCESS BUT AND I LOST. BUT THE POINT IS WE'RE LOOKING AT IT ONLY FROM WHAT'S THE ADVANTAGE OF THE CITY AND THE

301
01:00:12.808 --> 01:00:23.920
ADVANTAGE TO THAT PROPERTY OWNER NOT TO THE CONCERNS OF ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNERS OWNERS. AND I FEEL THAT YOU KNOW,

302
01:00:23.920 --> 01:00:35.798
COUNCILMAN OR MEMBER DALLESSANDRO SAID SHE'S CONCERNED ABOUT CHARGING PEOPLE WHO WANT A VARIANCE. I'M CONCERNED THE OTHER WAY AROUND THAT WHY DON'T YOU HAVE TO GET A VARIANCE WHEN IT'S

303
01:00:35.798 --> 01:00:46.642
AFFECTING ALL OF YOUR NEIGHBORS AND YOU WANT TO CHANGE IT? THAT'S IN THIS CASE YOU'RE CHANGING AT TEN FEET. SO IN OTHER WORDS, SUDDENLY SOMEBODY THAT DIDN'T HAVE ROOM

304
01:00:46.642 --> 01:00:59.388
FOR A SHED PUT A SHED UP IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE WHICH IS WHAT HAPPENED. BUT WHAT I'M SAYING IS YOU'RE NOT CONSIDERING I'M NOT SURE

305
01:00:59.388 --> 01:01:11.800
THE PROPER TERM BUT YOU'RE CHANGING THE RULES. PEOPLE HAVE OWNED PROPERTY ADJACENT TO THESE PROPERTIES AND YOU'RE ARBITRARILY CHANGING SOMETHING THAT USED

306
01:01:11.800 --> 01:01:24.647
TO REQUIRE A VARIANCE PROCESS AND THEY HAD A VOICE IN IT. AND JUST LIKE WHEN YOU CHANGE TO MINIMUM PROPERTY SIZE SUDDENLY MAYBE ONE OF MY NEIGHBORS CAN THROW UP ANOTHER HOUSE IN THEIR LOT AND SELL IT

307
01:01:24.647 --> 01:01:34.090
SUBDIVIDE THE LOT. I THINK THIS IS AGREED YES FOR EXISTING PROPERTY OWNERS BECAUSE SEVEN PEOPLE ARE DECIDING TO CHANGE THE RULES

308
01:01:34.090 --> 01:01:45.167
SO I BOUGHT UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS AND NOW I'M THAT'S BEING CHANGED ON ME AS BAD AS IT MIGHT SEEM TO PAY $100 TO

309
01:01:45.167 --> 01:01:59.882
APPLY FOR A VARIANCE I SEE A LOT LESS DAMAGE THERE THAN I DO THE SURROUNDING PROPERTY OWNERS LOSER RATES BY THESE SORTS OF THINGS AND I LOST ON THE MINIMUM PROPERTY SIZE BUT

310
01:01:59.882 --> 01:02:11.193
I. I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW AS A CITIZEN I FEEL LIKE MY GOVERNMENT IS OPPRESSIVE IN THINGS LIKE THIS BECAUSE YOU'RE CHANGING THE RULES THAT

311
01:02:11.193 --> 01:02:23.539
EVERYBODY BOUGHT PROPERTY BASED ON AND I THINK THAT'S EXCESSIVE ANYWAY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH I'D I'D LIKE TO BE POSITIVE I DON'T KNOW A

312
01:02:23.539 --> 01:02:35.051
POSITIVE WAY OF PUTTING THIS SO THANK YOU MR. CIVIC ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO SPEAK BIANCA DO WE HAVE ANYONE ON THE PHONE WISHING TO SPEAK?

313
01:02:35.051 --> 01:02:44.293
MAYBE WE DO NOT HAVE ANYONE ON LINE. LAST CALL FOR ANYONE IN THE CHAMBERS COUNCIL. NO ONE COMING FORWARD. NO ONE ON THE LINE WISHING TO SPEAK. I WOULD LOOK FOR A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING ON

314
01:02:44.293 --> 01:02:59.041
4.2 MOTION BY COUNCIL ROBERTSON SECOND BY COUNCILMEMBER DALLESSANDRO TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING ON THE 4.2 OR REVISE EXCUSE ME REVISE THAT IS GOING TO BE

315
01:02:59.041 --> 01:03:09.518
LOUDER. I NEED IT CLEAR TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING ITEM 4.2 NO FURTHER COUNCIL DISCUSSION ON THIS. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR PLEASE SIGNIFY BY SAYING I OPPOSED MOTION CARRIES SEVEN ZERO.

316
01:03:09.518 --> 01:03:20.663
COUNCIL COMMENTS ON THOSE QUESTIONS I WANTED TO ANSWER AT LEAST SOME OF THE CONCERNS RAISED BY MR. CIVIC I THINK YES. I MEAN THIS IS SEVEN PEOPLE MAKING DECISIONS BUT THAT'S

317
01:03:20.663 --> 01:03:31.173
WHAT THE CITY COUNCIL DOES. I MEAN THAT'S WHAT WE'RE ELECTED TO DO AND THAT'S WHAT WE DO. AND I DO THINK WE DO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE OTHER THE NEIGHBORS AND HOW IT IMPACTS THE THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND ALL

318
01:03:31.173 --> 01:03:42.884
THE FOLKS AROUND THEM WHICH IS WHY THE SETBACK ISN'T ZERO, WHICH IS WHY IT ISN'T A FREE FOR ALL. WE DO HAVE RESTRICTIONS BUT WE'VE CHANGED WHAT THE

319
01:03:42.884 --> 01:03:53.329
DEFINITION OF THAT APPROPRIATE RESTRICTION IS AT THIS POINT AND WE'VE HAD THIS CONVERSATION WE HAD THIS AN EXTENSIVE CONVERSATION ON THIS IN TERMS OF LOT SIZES AND SETBACKS AND SO ON.

320
01:03:53.329 --> 01:04:05.507
AND I THINK THE IDEA IS THAT WHAT WHAT FOLKS ORIGINALLY THOUGHT WAS THE STANDARD THE ONLY WAY TO DO THINGS I THINK THERE ARE SOME THOSE CHANGES IN OPINIONS AND HOW WE CAN DO THIS AND HOW WE CAN DO IT THAT

321
01:04:05.507 --> 01:04:17.419
FITS EVERYBODY. IT ISN'T NECESSARILY DOING IT TO SOMEONE. I DON'T BELIEVE WE'RE BEING OPPRESSIVE IN ANY WAY. I THINK WE'RE OFFERING A BIT OF A CHANGE TO RULES THAT ARE IN PLACE AND ARE LOOKING AT OPPORTUNITIES TO PROVIDE MORE

322
01:04:17.419 --> 01:04:28.064
OPTIONS AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR FOLKS. SO THAT'S THAT'S MY THOUGHT ON THAT. COUNCILMEMBER DALLESSANDRO THANKS. AND JUST AS A AN ANCILLARY

323
01:04:28.064 --> 01:04:39.308
COMMENT TO THAT, YOU KNOW, I, I UNDERSTAND AND I YOU KNOW, I AGREE I AM ASKING IN MY COMMENTS I SAID YOU KNOW, HEY, YOU KNOW, IF WE'RE DOING THIS PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES GET IMPACTED AND I, I, I AGREE

324
01:04:39.308 --> 01:04:50.619
WITH ALL THAT. I BELIEVE WE ASKED PRIOR RIGHT THAT WE DO A BETTER JOB OF NOTIFYING NEIGHBORHOODS WHEN CHANGES ARE COMING TO THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS AS OPPOSED TO AT THE END OF THE PROCESS

325
01:04:50.619 --> 01:05:02.030
MORE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PROCESS WHERE THEY CAN HAVE MORE OF A VOICE THAT STEMMED FROM THE THE THE THE ISSUE RELATED TO WENTWORTH CIRCLE IN MY OR IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD

326
01:05:02.030 --> 01:05:14.109
RIGHT WHERE SOMEBODY TOOK A LOT, TORE DOWN A HOUSE, MADE IT TWO LOTS WITH THE INTENT OF BUILDING TWO HOMES THAT THEY WANT TO RENT OUT WITH THE IDEA THAT THEY'LL GET A THIRD ONE WHEN THIS OTHER HOUSE IS

327
01:05:14.109 --> 01:05:25.154
VACATED RIGHT. AND THERE ARE ONLY SEVEN PEOPLE IN THAT CIRCLE AND THEY WERE VERY UPSET ABOUT IT. BUT I WENT OUT TALK TO THEM AND EVERYTHING AND THAT'S HOW IT WORKS. THE PROBLEM WASN'T SO MUCH THAT THEY DIDN'T UNDER DIDN'T

328
01:05:25.154 --> 01:05:35.698
UNDERSTAND LIKE AND THAT THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT PRIVATE PROPERTY OWNERS HAVE A RIGHT TO DO WITH THEIR PROPERTY WHAT THEY WANT. WE ALL HAVE THAT I WOULDN'T WANT TO BE TOLD WHAT TO DO WITH MY HOUSE EITHER BUT MORE SO THAT LIKE THEY FOUND OUT

329
01:05:35.698 --> 01:05:46.809
ABOUT IT AFTER MOST OF IT HAD ALREADY BEEN DECIDED AND IF WE CAN DO A BETTER JOB WITH NOTICES AND WE CAN DO A BETTER JOB WITH HELPING PEOPLE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD UNDERSTAND HOW THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS CHANGING,

330
01:05:46.809 --> 01:05:57.753
I DON'T KNOW THAT WE NECESSARILY HAVE THE SAME ISSUES. I THINK A LOT OF WHAT WE DO TO OURSELVES IS JUST KIND OF CATCH THEM OFF GUARD AND THEN THEIR FIRST THE FIRST REACTION FOR PEOPLE NATURALLY IS TO BE UP IN ARMS ABOUT IT.

331
01:05:57.753 --> 01:06:09.698
SO YOU KNOW, MY MY THOUGHT IS IF WE'RE IF WE'RE WORKING ON THOSE NOTIFICATIONS WE'RE DOING IT EARLIER ON IN THE PROCESS OR YOU KNOW, THOSE KINDS OF THINGS WE'RE INVITING THOSE FOLKS TO THE PLANNING

332
01:06:09.698 --> 01:06:20.876
COMMISSION'S HEARINGS AS OPPOSED TO WAITING TILL THE END OF THE LINE HERE WITH COUNCIL. I THINK WE CAN DO A LOT TO HELP PEOPLE UNDERSTAND HOW THE NEIGHBORHOODS ARE CHANGING. CERTAINLY THEY'VE CHANGED FROM 50 YEARS AGO TO CERTAINLY THE

333
01:06:20.876 --> 01:06:32.721
RULES WE HAVE IN PLACE WEREN'T THERE WHEN MY HOUSE WAS BUILT IN LIKE 1962. SO I THINK THAT WE COULD CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT IF THAT WAS BE POSSIBLE. AND THEN I THINK WE WE DO A

334
01:06:32.721 --> 01:06:42.497
LOT OF PEOPLE A LOT OF FAVORS THAT WE APPRECIATE THE INPUT. YEP. THEY COUNCIL COUNCILMEMBER LOWMAN THANK YOU MAYOR I WANT TO THANK STAFF I THINK THEY'VE

335
01:06:42.497 --> 01:06:53.275
DONE AN OUTSTANDING JOB OF YOU KNOW REALLY KIND OF PUTTING THIS TOGETHER AND MAKING A REALLY GOOD CASE. YOU KNOW, WE GOT A FIVE OH COMING OUT OF THE OUT OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION, YOU KNOW, DID A REALLY NICE JOB IN TERMS

336
01:06:53.275 --> 01:07:03.719
OF WHAT THEIR DECISION MAKING PROCESS. WE HAD AN EXTENSIVE CONVERSATION, MAYOR, ABOUT THIS. YOU KNOW, I'M JUST NOT THERE YET. I'M A CORNER LOT GUY AND I CAN THINK OF SOME CIRCUMSTANCES

337
01:07:03.719 --> 01:07:15.297
THAT WOW, I'M JUST YOU KNOW, I JUST DON'T I I CAN SEE THIS BECOMING SOME PROBLEMS, YOU KNOW. BUT I DO THINK THIS IS IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION AND I ALSO KIND OF QUESTION, YOU KNOW, A LITTLE BIT YOU KNOW, DOES THIS

338
01:07:15.297 --> 01:07:25.640
KIND OF ACCOMPLISH THE GOAL IN TERMS OF THE OF TRYING TO GET MORE TO USE OUT THERE? DOES IT REALLY MOVE THE NEEDLE? WE'LL SEE. OBVIOUSLY WHAT THAT COMES FOR. BUT I JUST TAKE AT THIS TIME

339
01:07:25.640 --> 01:07:35.784
AND I'M NOT TRYING TO GET ANYBODY ELSE TO COME ALONG WITH ME. I JUST I'M NOT NOT THERE YET AND I DON'T WANT TO, YOU KNOW, KEEP CONVERSATING AND HAVING CONVERSATIONS ABOUT IT. BUT I DO THINK IT'S YOU KNOW, IT'S THERE YOU KNOW, THE

340
01:07:35.784 --> 01:07:46.995
PLANNING COMMISSION SUPPORTED IT BUT I'M JUST I'M JUST NOT FULLY FULLY THERE WITH WHERE THIS IS TODAY. BUT I DO ENCOURAGE MY COLLEAGUES IF YOU'RE THERE AND YOU SEE THIS AS A STEP IN THOSE DIRECTIONS, PLEASE SUPPORT THIS.

341
01:07:46.995 --> 01:07:56.538
BUT I'M NOT THERE TODAY AND I'M GOING TO SPORT THIS COUNCILMEMBER REALIZE I JUST HAVE A QUESTION IT'S NOT NECESSARILY ENTIRELY ABOUT

342
01:07:56.538 --> 01:08:09.818
THESE BUT IT'S MORE AND IS CENTERED LET'S SAY IF I DECIDE TO BUILD A HOUSE BIGGER I'M IN A CORNER OF THAT OLD SCHOOL AND AND I BRING IT UP TO THE

343
01:08:09.818 --> 01:08:21.029
20FT ON THE SIDE STREET. I MEAN IT BENEFITS ME TO HAVE A BIGGER PLACE TO LIVE ON AND THEN FROM 80FT OR 90FT TO THE FRONT RIGHT TO WHAT WAS THE

344
01:08:21.029 --> 01:08:31.840
STORY IF YOU DON'T MIND ANSWERING THAT FOR ME PLEASE. I'M DIFFERENT FROM PART OF THE HOUSE. HOW BIG IS IT RIGHT NOW? I MEAN I.

345
01:08:31.840 --> 01:08:43.251
I THINK IT WAS A WASTE OF SPACE WHEN THEY BUILT OUR HOUSE IS SO SMALL COMPARED TO A LOT BUT I DO HAVE A QUESTION THAT IS NOT RELATED TO THIS. IF WE HAVE A PROBLEM SOME

346
01:08:43.251 --> 01:08:51.560
PEOPLE WILL HAVE ISSUES. IF WE WERE TO BUILD A BIGGER HOUSE, YOU KNOW IT WOULD PROBABLY COVER THEIR VIEWS AND STUFF BUT AND THEY WILL HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THAT.

347
01:08:51.560 --> 01:09:03.138
MY QUESTION IS REGARDING TO PEOPLE HAVING GARDENS IN THEIR PROPERTIES ARE THEY ALLOWED TO PUSH IT ALL THE WAY TO THE PROPERTY LINE?

348
01:09:03.138 --> 01:09:15.384
IS THERE A RULE THAT PREVENTS HIM FROM DOING THAT? >> MAYOR OR COUNCILMEMBER RIVAS I DON'T BELIEVE WE HAVE SETBACKS FOR GARDENS MAYBE

349
01:09:15.384 --> 01:09:25.694
CAN'T BUT YEAH, AMERICANS ARE AREAS IT DEPENDS ON WHAT TYPE OF GARDEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. ONCE IT GIVES ABOVE A CERTAIN HEIGHT THEN IT BECOMES A STRUCTURE AND IT'S SUBJECT TO SETBACKS. BUT A TYPICAL JUST GARDEN ON THE GROUND DOESN'T HAVE A

350
01:09:25.694 --> 01:09:37.273
SETBACK REQUIREMENT. THERE ARE EASEMENTS ALONG PROPERTY LINES WHERE YOU KNOW WE TYPICALLY DON'T ENCOURAGE RESIDENTS TO ENCROACH ON THOSE EASEMENTS BECAUSE WE MIGHT NEED TO USE THOSE OR PRIVATE CABL GAS THOSE FOLKS USE

351
01:09:37.273 --> 01:09:49.218
THOSE EASEMENTS ALONGSIDE PROPERTY LINES BUT THERE'S NOT A SETBACK REQUIREMENT FOR A GARDEN. IT SAID IF THEY HAVE ANY STRETCH RIGHT. I MEAN IT REALLY DOESN'T BOTHER ME PERSONALLY BUT WHAT

352
01:09:49.218 --> 01:09:59.261
HE DOES IS THAT HE DAMAGES THE GARDEN IN THEIR GARDENS DAMAGED DEFENSES. I MEAN I HAVE WITNESSED THAT IN OUR PROPERTY. SO MY QUESTION IS IF WE WERE TO ALLOW THESE TWO PEOPLE TO

353
01:09:59.261 --> 01:10:11.273
BUILD, YOU KNOW, STRUCTURES, WHAT IS THE EFFECT ON THE NEIGHBORS? AND YOU KNOW, I AS A CORNER LOT PERSON I YOU KNOW IT'S A GREAT BENEFIT TO ME RIGHT AND

354
01:10:11.273 --> 01:10:24.887
TO THE CITY TO A CERTAIN EXTENT TO A CERTAIN EXTENT IT BENEFITS AS WE GET TO HAVE TWO

355
01:10:24.887 --> 01:10:33.895
PROPERTIES IN ONE LOT. RIGHT? IF THAT'S THAT WILL BE THE CASE WILL IMPROVE HOUSING AVAILABILITY. BUT YOU KNOW JUST JUST A QUESTION. MY CONCERN IS JUST ABOUT THE

356
01:10:33.895 --> 01:10:45.908
NEIGHBORS WHAT THEY WOULD THINK OR HOW THEY WOULD FEEL IF I KNOW THE STRUCTURE WILL GO RIGHT BESIDES THEIR PROPERTY. YEAH. COUNCILMEMBER RIVAS SO THERE'S A COUPLE OF THINGS IN THIS

357
01:10:45.908 --> 01:10:57.586
ORDINANCE. ONE IS TALKING ABOUT STRUCTURE SETBACKS SO IT IS OFFERING TEN FEET LESS THAN REQUIRED SETBACK THAN WHAT CURRENTLY EXISTS TODAY FOR THAT STREET SIDE YARD. AND SO ONE OF THE ASPECTS

358
01:10:57.586 --> 01:11:08.496
OF THIS CONVERSATION THAT I THINK IS IMPORTANT IS THAT THE ZONING CODE IS THERE TO PRESERVE PUBLIC HEALTH SAFETY, WELFARE. IF I ASK A ROOM OF 100 PEOPLE WHAT THAT MEANS IN TERMS OF WHAT THE CODE SHOULD DO, YOU'RE GOING TO GET 101

359
01:11:08.496 --> 01:11:19.808
OPINIONS ABOUT THAT. BUT JUST FROM THE PURPOSE OF STAFF, WHAT WE WE DON'T BELIEVE A VISUAL IMPACT IN TERMS OF MOVING A STRUCTURE TEN FEET FORWARD IS A THREAT TO HEALTH SAFETY, WELFARE BECAUSE WE'RE PRESERVING

360
01:11:19.808 --> 01:11:31.820
PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE IN PRESERVING AREAS FOR LANDSCAPE PLANTING. THAT'S WHY WE HAVE LANDSCAPE YARD REQUIREMENTS. 20 FOOT SETBACK ACCOMPLISHES THAT ALONG STREETS. ON THE OTHER THING THAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO THOUGH IS THAT

361
01:11:31.820 --> 01:11:42.664
THE ORDINANCE DOES TALK ABOUT LOT SIZE SO IT IS FEASIBLE WE DON'T WANT TO HIDE FROM THE FACT THAT THERE ARE CORNER LOTS IN THE COMMUNITY THAT ARE SO LARGE CURRENTLY THEY WOULD NOT OTHERWISE BE ALLOWED TO BE

362
01:11:42.664 --> 01:11:53.942
SUBDIVIDED EXCEPT FOR SOME OF THESE CHANGES TO MINIMUM LOT SIZE AND A LOT WITH BUT AGAIN IT'S ABOUT HEALTH SAFETY WELFARE NOT ABOUT I DON'T WANT

363
01:11:53.942 --> 01:12:03.686
ANOTHER DWELLING IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD IT'S ABOUT WHAT IS THE MINIMUM SIZED LOT THAT SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO ACCOMMODATE A DWELLING ACCORDING TO BLOOMINGTON'S INFRASTRUCTURE. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. YEAH.

364
01:12:03.686 --> 01:12:16.498
THANK YOU. OTHER COMMENTS COUNCIL. ALL RIGHT. HEARING NONE WE HAVE HELD THE PUBLIC HEARING. >> WE'VE CLOSE THE PUBLIC

365
01:12:16.498 --> 01:12:28.376
HEARING COUNCIL I'D LOOK FOR MOTION ITEM 4.2 THIS EVENING. COUNCILMEMBER ROBERTSON EXCUSE ME. THANK YOU, MAYOR.

366
01:12:28.376 --> 01:12:38.920
I MOVED TO ADOPT AN ORDINANCE UPDATING CORNER LOT SETBACKS WITH AN AREA REQUIREMENTS AND EDITING DEFINITIONS RELATED TO CORNER LOTS THEREBY AMENDING CHAPTER CHAPTER 21 OF THE CITY

367
01:12:38.920 --> 01:12:50.198
CODE. MOTION BY COUNCILMEMBER ROBERTS AND SECOND BY COUNCILMEMBER DAN DALLESSANDRO TO APPROVE THE ORDINANCE UPDATING CORNER LOT SETBACKS WITH AN AREA REQUIREMENTS AND

368
01:12:50.198 --> 01:13:01.810
EDITING DEFINITIONS RELATED TO CORNER LOTS. ANY FURTHER COUNCIL DISCUSSION ON THIS HEARING? NONE. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR PLEASE SIGNIFY BY SAYING I I OPPOSED THE MOTION CARRIES SIX ONE WITH COUNCIL MEMBER LOWMAN

369
01:13:01.810 --> 01:13:12.920
IN OPPOSITION COUNCILMEMBER ROBERTSON SUMMARY PUBLICATION PLEASE THANK YOU. I MOVE TO ADOPT A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING SUMMARY PUBLICATION OF THE ADOPTED ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 21

370
01:13:12.920 --> 01:13:24.266
OF THE CITY CODE. >> MOTION BY COUNCILMEMBER ROBERTS AND SECOND BY COUNCILMEMBER D'ALESSANDRO FOR SUMMARY PUBLICATION ON THAT AND 4.2 NO FURTHER COUNCIL DISCUSSION ON THIS ALL THOSE IN FAVOR PLEASE SIGNIFY BY SAYING I OPPOSED MOTION

371
01:13:24.266 --> 01:13:33.308
CARRIES SEVEN ZERO. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THAT. I MISSPOKE UNDER ITEM 4.3 OUR THIRD PUBLIC HEARING OF THE EVENING THIS IS REGARDING THE TELEGRAPH HILL OFFICE PARK

372
01:13:33.308 --> 01:13:45.987
REZONING THAT'S AT 78 1578, 2570 AT 35 AND 70 AT 45 TELEGRAPH ROAD. MR. JOHNSON THANK YOU, MAYOR PRESENTING THIS ONE ON BEHALF OF PLANNER DILLON PALMER AND I

373
01:13:45.987 --> 01:13:56.665
WOULD NOTE THE APPLICANT IS IN ATTENDANCE IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS FOR THEM BUT THE TELEGRAPH ROAD OR THE TELEGRAPH HILL OFFICE PARK

374
01:13:56.665 --> 01:14:08.243
RATHER IS A LITTLE BIT OF A UNIQUE PROPERTY IN THAT IT WAS DEVELOPED UNDER THE BASE ZONING ONE AS A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT. THE CITY HAD A PRACTICE DURING THIS TIME THAT WOULD AUTHORIZE A NEW USES THAT ARE OTHERWISE

375
01:14:08.243 --> 01:14:19.087
NOT ALLOWED IN THAT BASE ZONING DISTRICT TO BE A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT. SO THAT'S NOT A PLANNING BEST PRACTICE. THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN DO ANYMORE. IT'S AKIN TO A USE VARIANCE SO YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO DO THAT ANYMORE.

376
01:14:19.087 --> 01:14:29.664
BUT EFFECTIVELY THESE FOUR OFFICE BUILDINGS AND THIS JOINT COMMON PROPERTY WERE DEVELOPED AS A KIND OF LOW INTENSITY OFFICE SITE VIA PLAN DEVELOPMENT WHILE RETAINING

377
01:14:29.664 --> 01:14:43.545
THE R-1 BASED ON IN DISTRICT. SO THE MAJORITY OF THE OWNERS AT THIS SITE HAVE COME TOGETHER AND SUBMITTED A PRIVATELY INITIATED APPLICATION TO REZONE THE PROPERTIES. YOU'LL NOTICE THAT ONE

378
01:14:43.545 --> 01:14:54.957
OF THESE SITES IS EXCLUDED FROM THIS ACTION AND I'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THAT IN A SECOND HERE IF I CAN GET MY SLIDE TO MOVE. OKAY. SO I PROVIDED AN OVERVIEW

379
01:14:54.957 --> 01:15:06.101
OF MOST OF THESE THINGS. THIS AREA WAS RELATED TO OFFICE IN THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IN 1984 SO IT'S BEEN GUIDED AS OFFICE. IT'S HAD THIS USE PATTERN FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME THE B1

380
01:15:06.101 --> 01:15:17.045
ZONING DISTRICT IN BLOOMINGTON IS KIND OF THE IDEAL ZONING DISTRICT FOR THIS AREA BECAUSE IT IS BASICALLY A LOW INTENSITY COMMERCIAL OR OFFICE DISTRICT THAT'S INTENDED TO BE A BUFFER TRANSITION TO RESIDENTIAL USES.

381
01:15:17.045 --> 01:15:29.024
SO THIS SITE FITS THAT QUITE WELL. THE REASON THAT 705 TELEGRAPH ROAD WAS EXCLUDED AND I INVITE THE APPLICANT TO PROVIDE MORE OF THE BACKGROUND IF THEY WANT TO BUT SEVERAL OF THESE

382
01:15:29.024 --> 01:15:39.701
BUILDINGS HAVE CHANGED HANDS IN THE LAST FEW YEARS AND EVERY TIME THERE LOOKING TO SELL THESE PROPERTIES OR FIND NEW TENANTS THEY RUN INTO THIS COMPLEX ISSUE AROUND R-1 PD

383
01:15:39.701 --> 01:15:51.312
COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE BROKERS GET CONFUSED. THE ZONING HERE IS RESIDENTIAL WHAT CAN I DO WITH THIS PROPERTY? WHAT THEY CAN DO ONLY AT THIS TIME IS OFFICE. THAT'S IT. THAT'S THE ONLY AUTHORIZED USE AND SO THE CURRENT PROPERTY

384
01:15:51.312 --> 01:16:02.757
REMAINS A LITTLE BIT UNDER THIS CLOUD OF OFFICE ONLY WITH THIS KIND OF ODD BASED ZONING DESIGNATION. THE REASON THAT 705 TELEGRAPH ROAD WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS APPLICATION IS THAT THEY WERE

385
01:16:02.757 --> 01:16:14.135
NOT ABLE TO OBTAIN THE AUTHORIZATION OR CONSENT VIA SIGNATURE OF THAT PROPERTY OWNER DESPITE MANY ATTEMPTS THE CITY ALSO CONTACTED THIS OWNER AND WE DIDN'T GET ANY CORRESPONDENCE RETURNED TO US

386
01:16:14.135 --> 01:16:25.881
VIA THOSE ATTEMPTS TO DO SO. SO THAT IS WHY IT IS NOT INCLUDED NOW JUST FROM A STANDPOINT AND WELCOME CITY ATTORNEY FEEDBACK ON THIS IF NECESSARY BUT THE CITY HAS TO

387
01:16:25.881 --> 01:16:36.858
PROCESS A PRIVATELY INITIATED APPLICATION. ONE OTHER POINT I WOULD MAKE ABOUT THAT IS THAT THE OWNERS OF THE THREE OUT OF THE FOUR PROPERTIES DID FURNISH US WITH ASSOCIATION DOCUMENTS DECLARING OR MAKING IT CLEAR

388
01:16:36.858 --> 01:16:47.235
THAT THREE FOURTHS OF THE OWNERS ARE AUTHORIZED TO ACT ON BEHALF OF THE ASSOCIATION. SO THAT WAS A CRITICAL COMPONENT BECAUSE THAT'S THE PARKING THAT'S THE ACCESS THAT'S THE COMMON PROPERTY THAT SERVES THE LAND.

389
01:16:47.235 --> 01:17:01.449
SO I WANT TO MAKE THAT POINT. HERE'S THE GUIDE PLAN IN THE 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SO YOU CAN SEE THERE TO THE SOUTH IS LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL THIS IS GATED OFFICE WHICH IS JUST

390
01:17:01.449 --> 01:17:13.161
REFLECTIVE OF ITS CURRENT USE. THIS IS THE PROPOSED REZONING ACTION AGAIN B ONE IS THE NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL ZONING DISTRICT. IT REALLY IS THE BEST DISTRICT WE CURRENTLY HAVE IN OUR MODERN DISTRICTS THAT FIT THIS

391
01:17:13.161 --> 01:17:24.972
NOT ONLY THE GUIDANCE OF THE COMP PLAN BUT JUST KIND OF THE LOCAL CHARACTERISTICS OF WHAT THE SITE IS AND WHAT IT COULD BE. YEAH I THINK I'VE COVERED MOST

392
01:17:24.972 --> 01:17:36.251
OF THIS. I THINK THE ONLY THING I'LL SAY THAT I DIDN'T SHARE IS THAT THE SITE IS SERVED BY ROADWAY WITH ADEQUATE CAPACITY. IT HAS APPROPRIATE SEWER AND WATER CAPACITY KIND OF HAS ALL THE COMPONENTS OF STILL BEING COMPLIANT DEVELOPMENT

393
01:17:36.251 --> 01:17:44.759
OTHERWISE THESE ARE SOME OF THE THINGS WE LOOK AT WITH RESPECT TO A REZONING REQUEST AND T PLANNING COMMISSION DID HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS ITEM OTHER THAN THE APPLICANT I DON'T BELIEVE

394
01:17:44.759 --> 01:17:55.904
ANYONE TESTIFIED AT THE HEARING. THE PLANNING COMMISSION DID RECOMMEND APPROVAL 520. THERE WERE SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT SPOT ZONING ENSURING THAT THEY UNDERSTOOD THE DEFINITION OF THAT AND AGAIN

395
01:17:55.904 --> 01:18:09.284
WE WENT OVER IN MORE DETAIL ABOUT THE EXCLUSION OF THE 705 SITE. THE LAST THING I'LL SAY ABOUT THAT IS THAT IN ACCORDING TO THE BLOOMINGTON CODE THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND THE CITY COUNCIL ARE THE TWO BODIES THAT HAVE THE RIGHT TO

396
01:18:09.284 --> 01:18:20.128
INITIATE REZONING. SO THE CITY CERTAINLY CAN INITIATE A REZONING ACTION ON THAT SITE TO CLEAN IT UP IN EFFECT IT'S JUST THIS DESPITE THE FACT THAT WE WERE UNABLE TO GET IN TOUCH WITH THIS OWNER THAT THEY'RE NOT INCLUDED.

397
01:18:20.128 --> 01:18:30.138
IT REALLY WOULD BE TO THEIR BENEFIT TO HAVE SIGNED ON TO THE APPLICATION. THE LAST THING I'LL SAY IS THAT WE DID RECEIVE ONE FINAL EMAIL OR ONE PIECE OF CORRESPONDENCE YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN PROVIDED A HANDOUT.

398
01:18:30.138 --> 01:18:41.082
I BELIEVE THAT'S IN SUPPORT OF THE APPLICATION OTHER THAN THAT STAFF AND PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMEND APPROVAL. I DO HAVE SUGGESTED MOTIONS AND HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU MR. JOHNSON COUNSEL

399
01:18:41.082 --> 01:18:53.661
QUESTIONS ON THIS COUNCILMEMBER NELSON HONESTLY I THINK MY QUESTION WAS ANSWERED. IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S SOMETHING WE CAN CLEAN UP AT WHATEVER TIME WE WANT TO. SO THERE DOES SEEM TO BE CONCERNS FROM STAFF.

400
01:18:53.661 --> 01:19:05.172
THANK YOU. OTHER QUESTIONS COUNCIL I YOU SAID THE APPLICANT IS PRESENT AND MOLLY IF THE APPLICANT'S REPRESENTATIVES HEAR NOTHING THEN OKAY VERY GOOD. THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER DALLESSANDRO

401
01:19:05.172 --> 01:19:17.085
REAL QUICK QUESTION FOR YOU MR. JOHNSON THANKS FOR THIS. IT CAN YOU AT A VERY HIGH LEVEL JUST RECOUNT THE KINDS OF EXPANSION OPPORTUNITIES THIS YIELDS AS A RESULT OF THE

402
01:19:17.085 --> 01:19:28.129
MOVE FROM ONE TO BE ONE? YEAH. THANK YOU MARY COMES FROM DALE SANDRA SO DAYCARE FOR EXAMPLE IS A USE THAT'S AUTHORIZED AND B ONE THAT'S CURRENTLY NOT ALLOWED UNDER THIS R ONE PD SITUATION LIMITED RETAIL SO

403
01:19:28.129 --> 01:19:39.507
THERE IS A CAP ON THE AMOUNT OF RETAIL THAT THEY CAN HAVE IN THE SITE OF 25% FOR EXAMPLE INSTRUCTIONAL CENTER. SO I MEAN TO GET INTO THE NITTY GRITTY OF IT WE'RE FIELDING CALLS FROM BROKERS SAYING CAN I DO THIS?

404
01:19:39.507 --> 01:19:50.352
CAN I DO THAT? AND IT'S LIKE NO YOU CAN'T BECAUSE IT'S OFFICE ONLY PERIOD. SO THAT MAKES IT CHALLENGING FOR AGENTS WHO ARE TRYING TO RENT SPACE IN THE BUILDING AND THAT KIND OF THING.

405
01:19:50.352 --> 01:20:01.730
DO WE DO WE CURRENTLY KNOW THE OCCUPANCY OF THE BUILDINGS RIGHT NOW? ARE THEY FULL OR ARE THEY NOT FULL OR I'D INVITE THE APPLICANT TO SPEAK ABOUT THE CURRENT OCCUPANCY. I KNOW THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL OFFICE TENANTS INCLUDING LIKE A THERAPY OFFICE, LIKE MEDICAL

406
01:20:01.730 --> 01:20:13.041
OFFICE AND THEN A FEW OTHER OFFICES. BUT YEAH AND THAT WILL STILL BE ALLOWED. IS THAT CORRECT? CORRECT. YEP. GOOD EVENING AND WELCOME. IF YOU COULD JUST STATE YOUR NAME SO WE HAVE IT FOR THE RECORD. YEP I'M MOLLY STAFF ALL I DO

407
01:20:13.041 --> 01:20:23.385
THE ADMIN AND ACCOUNTING FOR THE ASSOCIATION I WOULD SAY THE BUILDINGS ARE MOSTLY OCCUPIED AND LEASED. THE ONLY THING I WOULD SAY IS A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HYBRID SO THERE'S NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE

408
01:20:23.385 --> 01:20:35.229
PRESENT BUT IS MOSTLY LEASED. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COUNCIL COUNCILMEMBER LOGAN JUST KIND OF A PASSING QUESTION. YOU KNOW WE HAVE CHILD CARE USE AND MEDICAL USES.

409
01:20:35.229 --> 01:20:46.708
ARE THERE ANY RESTRICTIONS IN TERMS OF WHAT CAN BE CONDUCTED IN MEDICAL PRACTICES, YOU KNOW, IN TERMS OF X RAYS OR THAT TYPE OF THING AND IS THERE ANY YOU KNOW YEAH. CAN YOU HAVE A CHILD CARE SITTING NEXT TO YOU KNOW, A

410
01:20:46.708 --> 01:20:57.919
YOU KNOW, AN X RAY TYPE THING? I KNOW THERE'S YOU KNOW, THERE'S STUDIES OUT THERE THAT SHOW THAT THERE'S NO IMPACT. I'M JUST I'M JUST CURIOUS. SURE. SO I'M HERE COUNCILMEMBER LOWMAN NOT IN ZONING. I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S

411
01:20:57.919 --> 01:21:09.664
SOMETHING IN THE STATE LICENSING THAT MIGHT LOOK AT KIND OF THE SURROUNDING USES AND BUFFERING FOR CHILD CARE. BUT NO, NOT IN ZONING. YEAH. AND AS FAR AS WHAT MEDICAL OFFICES IN TERMS OF THAT USE, IT MEANS NO OVERNIGHT STAYS

412
01:21:09.664 --> 01:21:18.773
EFFECTIVELY ONCE YOU'RE YOU KNOW INPATIENT ONCE YOU'RE KEEPING PATIENTS OVERNIGHT THAT IS NOT A MEDICAL OFFICE. OTHERS. ALL RIGHT. VERY GOOD. THANK YOU.

418
01:22:19.200 --> 01:22:30.411
IT'S A GREAT THERAPY SPOT AND THE THE IT'S A NICE COMBINATION BECAUSE AS YOU CAN SEE ON SOME OF THE SLIDES HERE, IT'S HEAVILY WOODED BETWEEN THE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES AND THE SITE.

419
01:22:30.411 --> 01:22:41.622
BUT AT THE SAME TIME THIS SITE BASICALLY FRONTS FOR 94. I MEAN SO IT'S I THINK THE THE CHANGE TO TO BE ONE I THINK IT MAKES SENSE AND IT GIVES THEM MORE OPTIONS AND A LITTLE BIT

420
01:22:41.622 --> 01:22:51.966
OF FLEXIBILITY AND I THINK THIS IS A REALLY A GOOD WAY TO CONTINUE TO MAKE THIS REALLY KIND OF A VERY UNIQUE OFFICE PARK WITHIN THE CITY OF BLOOMINGTON.

421
01:22:51.966 --> 01:23:03.244
ANY OTHER THOUGHTS? COUNCIL IF NOT COUNCIL I LOOK FOR ACTION AND THEN 4.3 TONIGHT, MR. MAYOR AND HAPPY TO DO IT IN MY PATCH I'D BE HAPPY TO MAKE THE MOTION AND

430
01:24:33.000 --> 01:24:44.078
HEARING OF THE EVENING THIS IS REGARDING A REGARDING REZONING AND THE C U P FOR PARK AND FLY WHICH IS AT 3737 50 AMERICAN BOULEVARD. MR. CENTENARIO IS GOING TO

431
01:24:44.078 --> 01:25:04.566
LEAD US THROUGH THESE NEXT TWO ITEMS. GOOD EVENING AND WELCOME. THANK YOU MR. MAYOR . THANK YOU MAYOR COUNCILMEMBERS

432
01:25:04.566 --> 01:25:17.912
THE NEXT TWO ITEMS ON YOUR AGENDA RELATE TO REALLY A PROJECT THAT'S BEEN IN THE WORKS FOR SEVERAL YEARS AT THIS POINT. BUT THE FIRST ITEM ON OUR

433
01:25:17.912 --> 01:25:29.724
FIRST ITEM IS RELATED TO THE ROSA DEVELOPMENT COMPANY SITE OUR PARK AND FLY AS YOU'LL PROBABLY HEAR ME REFER TO IT AND THAT IS SEVERAL ELEMENTS. ONE BEING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN

434
01:25:29.724 --> 01:25:40.568
AMENDMENT TO RE GUIDE THE PARKING PLACE SITE FROM WHAT IT IS TODAY WHICH IS SOUTHWICK MIXED USE AND TWO HIGH INTENSITY MIXED USE AND YOU

435
01:25:40.568 --> 01:25:51.812
KNOW THESE DESIGNATIONS HAVE SOME IMPACT IN TERMS OF THE THE THE ALLOWED USERS IN COMBINATION WITH THAT THE APPLICANT ARE SEEKING A

436
01:25:51.812 --> 01:26:03.757
REZONING FROM H S R PD TO SIX TWO PD THESE ARE ZONING DISTRICTS THAT ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THOSE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN LAND USE DESIGNATIONS SO THEY THEY ARE CONSISTENT WITH ONE

437
01:26:03.757 --> 01:26:15.035
ANOTHER AND ALSO YOU'RE BEING ASKED TO TAKE ACTION ON A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT APPLICATION FOR MULTIPLE PARKING. AND SO YOU'VE YOU'VE HEARD ME

438
01:26:15.035 --> 01:26:26.080
SPEAK ON THESE ITEMS BEFORE SEVERAL TIMES IN FACT. AND JUST A BRIEF SUMMARY ON THE PARKING FLY SITE IT'S

439
01:26:26.080 --> 01:26:35.556
ABOUT 12 ACRES, A LITTLE OVER 12 ACRES. IT'S COMPRISED OF OVER 2000 PARKING STALLS. AGAIN, THIS IS A REMOTE AIRPORT PARKING FACILITY. SO THERE'S THERE IS ALMOST NO

440
01:26:35.556 --> 01:26:47.468
BUILDING PER SE. THERE'S A VERY SMALL ENTRANCE BUILDING OR A GATE BUT IT'S IT'S MAJORITY SURFACE PARKING WITH THE WITH A PARKING STRUCTURE AND IT'S BEEN

441
01:26:47.468 --> 01:27:00.448
IN OPERATION SINCE THE LATE 80S FOR FOUR DECADES NOW THE CITY HAD PROCESSED TEACUPS OR TEMPORARY CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS THAT THAT EVOLVED INTO

442
01:27:00.448 --> 01:27:12.393
INTERIM USE PERMITS. BUT ALL OF THESE APPROVALS WERE TEMPORARY IN NATURE. THEY WERE NEVER INTENDED TO BE PERMANENT RIGHTS TO OPERATE REMOTE OR PARKING. THE PARKING STRUCTURE AT THE SUMMER SITE WAS BUILT IN 94.

443
01:27:12.393 --> 01:27:23.972
AN OFFICE TOWER WAS INTENDED TO BE BUILT ON TOP OF IT BUT THAT NEVER MATERIALIZED. AND THEN THERE WAS A DIFFERENT APPROACH AGAIN WITH THESE TEMPORARY APPROVALS TO TRY AND CONDITION THESE TEMPORARY

444
01:27:23.972 --> 01:27:34.415
APPROVALS AND DEVELOPMENT MILESTONES THAT THAT DID LEAD TO SOME POTENTIAL DEVELOPMENT . BUT ULTIMATELY THE PANDEMIC HAPPENED AND THAT DEVELOPMENT THAT HAPPENED FORWARD AND SO

445
01:27:34.415 --> 01:27:45.126
THE CURRENT INTERIM USE PERMIT AGAIN TEMPORARY APPROVAL FOR THE PARKING PLACE SITE EXPIRES AUGUST 8TH, 2027. THERE'S ALSO IN A PREVIOUS

446
01:27:45.126 --> 01:27:55.102
APPLICATION WE AMENDED THE CITY CODE AND SO THESE TEMPORARY USES CANNOT EXTEND PAST AUGUST 8TH 2027. SO TO TOUCH ON THE CITY

447
01:27:55.102 --> 01:28:05.980
CODE AMENDMENTS FROM JUST A FEW MONTHS AGO REMOTE AIRPORT PARKING HAS BEEN ELIMINATED AS AN INTERIM USE IN THE HSR ZONING DISTRICT. SO FOR A LONG TIME THESE

448
01:28:05.980 --> 01:28:17.692
TEMPORARY APPROVALS THEY WERE ALLOWED TO BE APPROVED FOR UP TO FIVE YEARS. THAT'S NO LONGER AN OPTION. IT'S BEEN ELIMINATED FROM THE CITY CODE REMOTE AREA PARKING FACILITIES WAS ADDED AS A CONDITIONAL USE IN THE COX TWO

449
01:28:17.692 --> 01:28:28.369
DISTRICT. YOU KNOW WE WENT THROUGH OF AN AIRPORT PARKING STUDY TALKED ABOUT DIFFERENT ALTERNATIVES FOR HOW TO HOW TO WHAT DEGREE

450
01:28:28.369 --> 01:28:39.881
DOES THE CITY WANT TO REGULATE THESE DO THESE USES DO WE WANT TO ALLOW THEM AS PERMITTED USES OR CONDITIONAL USES OR PROHIBIT THEM ALTOGETHER? ULTIMATELY WHERE WE ENDED UP IS TO ALLOW THEM AS A CONDITIONAL USE IN THE C TWO

451
01:28:39.881 --> 01:28:50.691
DISTRICT. BUT THERE ARE SOME PERFORMANCE STANDARDS ASSOCIATED WITH THAT. ONE IS A MINIMUM 2.75 ACRE DEVELOPMENT SITE ALONG AMERICAN BOULEVARD EAST HAS TO BE ESTABLISHED WITHIN ABOUT

452
01:28:50.691 --> 01:29:01.969
TEN YEARS AND WE THINK THAT'S CRITICAL BECAUSE WE DON'T BELIEVE THAT THIS USE IS CONSISTENT UNLESS THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR DENSE URBAN TRANSIT SUPPORTING DEVELOPMENT

453
01:29:01.969 --> 01:29:13.080
ALONG AMERICAN BOULEVARD WHICH IS A VERY IMPORTANT CORRIDOR IN THE CITY. SIMILARLY WE WANT A DEVELOPMENT OF SUBSTANCE SO WE HAVE A MINIMUM 120,000 SQUARE

454
01:29:13.080 --> 01:29:23.791
FOOT FLOOR AREA THAT'S ALREADY ESTABLISHED IN THE SIX TWO DISTRICT AND WE THE CODE WOULD ALLOW OR DOES ALLOW SURFACE

455
01:29:23.791 --> 01:29:34.802
PARKING WITHIN EXISTING REMOTE AIRPORT PARKING FACILITIES TO BE MAINTAINED. IT WOULD ALLOW FUTURE EXPANSION TO SO TO ACTUALLY INCREASE THE CAPACITY IF

456
01:29:34.802 --> 01:29:46.047
WITHIN PARKING STRUCTURES AND IT ACTUALLY WOULD ALLOW INTEGRATION OF STRUCTURE PARKING WITHIN DEVELOPMENT SO YOU CAN ENVISION AN OFFICE BUILDING OR SOME OTHER HIGH INTENSITY USE WITH STRUCTURE

457
01:29:46.047 --> 01:29:57.425
PARKING SOME OF THAT STRUCTURE PARKING COULD BE USED TO OPERATE A REMOTE AIRPORT PARKING FACILITY AND SO THIS IS WHAT THE MAPS LOOK LIKE YOU HAVE ON THE LEFT THE EXISTING

458
01:29:57.425 --> 01:30:08.969
DESIGNATION WHICH IS SOUTH OF MIXED USE AND THEN YOU KNOW, WE LOVE TO COLOR COLORING DIFFERENT THINGS ON MAPS AND THAT WOULD BE THE HIGH DENSITY MIXED USE. SIMILARLY WITH THE ZONING

459
01:30:08.969 --> 01:30:21.749
DISTRICT, YOU KNOW, GOES FROM GREEN TO RED FRANKLY AND BUT THERE ARE SOME VERY IMPACTFUL CHANGES BETWEEN OR DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE MATRIX OUR DISTRICT AND THE C TWO

460
01:30:21.749 --> 01:30:34.562
DISTRICT AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE DISCUSSED AT LENGTH OVER MULTIPLE CONVERSATIONS WITH THE APPLICANT AND YOU KNOW HOW TO REDUCE BARRIERS TO TRANSIT SUPPORTING INTENSE DEVELOPMENT.

461
01:30:34.562 --> 01:30:45.039
ONE OF THE REQUIREMENTS IN MATRIX R IS THE R STANDS FOR RESIDENTIAL AND THERE IS A REQUIREMENT TO HAVE A RESIDENTIAL COMPONENT AND A

462
01:30:45.039 --> 01:30:57.084
VERY DENSE RESIDENTIAL COMPONENT OF 30 UNITS PER ACRE WHEREAS IN THE C TWO DISTRICT RESIDENTIAL USES ARE PERMITTED BUT THEY'RE NOT REQUIRED. A SECOND VERY SIGNIFICANT

463
01:30:57.084 --> 01:31:07.995
CHANGE IS RELATED TO FLOOR AREA RATIO WHICH IS ONE ONE MEASUREMENT OF LAND USE INTENSITY AND IT'S BECAUSE OUR DISTRICT IT'S VERY PRESCRIPTIVE A MINIMUM ONE

464
01:31:07.995 --> 01:31:19.106
POINT 5FR WHICH IS VERY SIGNIFICANT AND THE C TWO DISTRICT ALLOWS THAT KIND OF INTENSITY BUT IT DOESN'T REQUIRE IT. AND SO IT'S THE THE IDEA IS TO

465
01:31:19.106 --> 01:31:29.550
REDUCE BARRIERS TO PERMANENT DEVELOPMENT ON THIS ON THE PROPERTIES AND SO DISCUSSING THE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT SITE AGAIN THIS WOULD BE A 2.75

466
01:31:29.550 --> 01:31:40.861
ACRE DEVELOPED PAD OR A FUTURE SITE. THERE ARE SOME REQUIREMENTS TO SCREENING SO THERE WOULD BE, YOU KNOW, PRETTY DENSE VEGETATION BETWEEN A FUTURE DEVELOPMENT SITE AND THE REMAINDER OF THE REMOTE

467
01:31:40.861 --> 01:31:51.338
AIRPORT PARKING FACILITY AND THERE IS A COMPLIANCE DATE AND A LITTLE OVER TEN YEARS. SO IT WAS PART OF THE THIS DEVELOPMENT PACKAGE WE ASKED

468
01:31:51.338 --> 01:32:02.683
THE APPLICANT TO ESSENTIALLY TAKE PART IN A ZONING EXERCISE TO DEMONSTRATE HOW THIS FUTURE DEVELOPMENT COULD HYPOTHETICALLY BE IMPLEMENTED AND THEY DID THAT.

469
01:32:02.683 --> 01:32:13.961
THEY THEY PRESENTED A FUTURE DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT. SO WE'RE NOT YOU'RE NOT BEING ASKED TO APPROVE THIS CONCEPT OR TO WEIGH IN ON IT. IT'S REALLY JUST A ZONING EXERCISE TO DEMONSTRATE THIS

470
01:32:13.961 --> 01:32:23.738
HOW THINGS COULD HYPOTHETICALLY HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE. BUT WHAT THEY'RE SHOWING IS TWO POINTS A 2.75 ACRE SITE WITH A PERIMETER LANDSCAPE

471
01:32:23.738 --> 01:32:36.383
YARD AND 120,000 SQUARE FOOT OFFICE BUILDING. AND SO THIS IS THIS IS ONE WAY TO ACCOMPLISH THAT FUTURE DEVELOPMENT. YOU KNOW, ONE THING WE LIKE

472
01:32:36.383 --> 01:32:47.294
ABOUT THIS CONCEPT IS IT PUSHES THE BUILDING TOWARDS THE STREET. IT'S RIGHT ALONG AMERICAN BOULEVARD LIKE THE CODE WOULD LIKE TO SEE. OBVIOUSLY WE WANT TO MAKE THINGS AS CONVENIENT TO GET TO AND FROM THE LIGHT RAIL AS POSSIBLE SO FOLKS COULD TAKE

473
01:32:47.294 --> 01:32:58.238
LIGHT RAIL TO BACK AND FORTH TO WORK IF THEY CARE TO AND THEN YOU HAVE THE PARKING BEHIND THE BUILDING AND IT'S A LITTLE DIFFICULT TO SEE BUT IF YOU LOOK ALONG THE PERIMETER

474
01:32:58.238 --> 01:33:12.286
OF THE SITE YOU SEE A LOT OF TREES AND THESE SITES ARE LANDSCAPED BUT THEY'RE NOT I WOULDN'T CONSIDER THEM WELL LANDSCAPED AND VERY MUCH BELOW WHAT WE REQUIRE FOR PERMANENT

475
01:33:12.286 --> 01:33:23.464
DEVELOPMENT. AND SO WHEN WE IF WE TREAT REMOTE PARKING AS A PERMANENT USE, WELL THEN WE WE GET TO EXPECT COMPLIANCE AS A TERM AS

476
01:33:23.464 --> 01:33:33.107
TO IN TERMS OF LANDSCAPING. AND SO THAT'S ANOTHER ELEMENT OF THIS APPLICATION IS HOW CAN THESE SITES REALLY IMPROVE THE THE AMOUNT OF LANDSCAPING THAT'S ON THE SITE. OBVIOUSLY THESE ARE THIS IS

477
01:33:33.107 --> 01:33:42.783
ACRES OF UNINTERRUPTED ASPHALT. SO YOU'RE REALLY ALONG YOU'RE REALLY TALKING ABOUT THE PERIMETER OF THE SITE AND THAT'S WHAT THAT'S WHAT THEY INCLUDED IN THEIR PLAN

478
01:33:42.783 --> 01:33:54.661
SUBMITTAL IS ADDING LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF TREES AND SHRUBS UNDER THE SITE AS IT EXISTS TODAY. IT'S JUST ZOOMED IN A LITTLE BIT MORE AROUND THE PARKING

479
01:33:54.661 --> 01:34:04.605
STRUCTURE. THERE'S SOME LANDSCAPING HERE BUT IT REALLY WOULD BE A PRETTY DRAMATIC CHANGE IN THE AMOUNT OF LANDSCAPING THAT WOULD WOULD BE INSTALLED

480
01:34:04.605 --> 01:34:16.850
WITHIN THE NEXT YEAR. AND THEN GOING BACK TO THE HYPOTHETICAL OR THE CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENT, YOU KNOW THAT'S WHAT'S SHOWING HERE IS PERMIT DEVELOPMENT. AND SO WHEN REVIEWING PERMIT

481
01:34:16.850 --> 01:34:27.628
DEVELOPMENT WE REQUIRE LANDSCAPING AND WE HAVE CERTAIN CODE REQUIREMENTS THAT HAVE TO BE MET. YOU KNOW TREES AND PARKING ISLANDS. WE WANT PERIMETER OR LANDSCAPING BETWEEN THE THIS DEVELOPMENT AND THE REMOTE

482
01:34:27.628 --> 01:34:38.706
AIRPORT PARKING FACILITY. SO THIS IS JUST AN IMAGE ON HOW THAT COULD BE ACCOMPLISHED IN THE FUTURE. AND SO THE PLANNING COMMISSION

483
01:34:38.706 --> 01:34:50.084
DID HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING. THEY RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL OBVIOUSLY HAVE A LOT OF TEXT ON THE SIDE BECAUSE THERE'S QUITE A FEW MOTIONS BUT I'M SURE THE COUNCIL HAS QUESTIONS AND I'M I'M HAPPY TO TO ENDORSE THEM.

484
01:34:50.084 --> 01:35:01.328
THANK YOU MR. CENTENARIO COUNCIL QUESTIONS WITH THE REMINDER THAT WE HAVE DECIDED ON THE USES HERE WE'VE DECIDED THE CHANGES THAT WE'VE MADE SO

485
01:35:01.328 --> 01:35:11.305
WE'RE NOT QUESTIONING THAT. WHAT WE'RE QUESTIONING ARE THESE ARE THESE LAND USE DESIGNATIONS THE ZONING MAP AND AND SO ON. SO WE'RE NOT GOING TO RELITIGATE THE ENTIRE SITUATION HERE.

486
01:35:11.305 --> 01:35:23.150
COUNCILMEMBER NELSON, WHAT HAPPENS IF WE DON'T APPROVE THIS? MR. CENTENARIO MR. MAYOR,

487
01:35:23.150 --> 01:35:31.725
COUNCIL MEMBERS THEY HAVE AN EXISTING INTERVIEWS PERMIT THAT EXPIRES AUGUST OF NEXT YEAR AND SO THAT'S THEY CAN OPERATE UNDER THAT INTERVIEWS

488
01:35:31.725 --> 01:35:45.239
PERMIT AND THAT'S WHAT WE WILL GO WITH AND TRY TO FIGURE OUT SOMETHING ELSE IF IT DOESN'T GET APPROVED THE QUESTIONS I

489
01:35:45.239 --> 01:35:56.183
SEE THE APPLICANT IS HERE IS THERE ANYTHING YOU'D LIKE TO ADDRESS? GOOD EVENING MR. GRIFFITH. THAT EVENING, MR. MAYOR AND

490
01:35:56.183 --> 01:36:07.928
COUNCIL HOPEFULLY THIS IS THE LAST TIME YOU'LL SEE ME ON THIS MATTER BECAUSE AS THE MAYOR SAID AND I APPRECIATE IT YOU KNOW IT'S BEEN A LONG ROAD AND YOU DECIDED IN MARCH THAT

491
01:36:07.928 --> 01:36:19.039
THIS WAS AN APPROPRIATE USE IN THE SIX TWO DISTRICT. HOPEFULLY WE WON'T RELITIGATE THAT. HOPEFULLY MR. NELSON WAS ASKING THE QUESTION FOR CLARIFICATION BECAUSE REALLY

492
01:36:19.039 --> 01:36:26.947
IT'S NOT A GOOD END IF IF THE PARKING RIGHTS EXPIRE AND WE DON'T HAVE A SOLUTION AFTER TWO YEARS OF WORKING AT IT AND I AM REALLY, REALLY GRATEFUL TO BE HERE AT A POINT WHERE

493
01:36:26.947 --> 01:36:38.792
BOTH SIDES AGREE FROM STAFF CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE NOW THE PLANNING COMMISSION THAT THIS IS THE RIGHT PATH. IT'S BALANCING THE RIGHTS OF THE PROPERTY OWNER WITH THE

494
01:36:38.792 --> 01:36:49.269
EXPECTATION FOR DEVELOPMENT AND HIGH INTENSITY DEVELOPMENT SIX TWO AND THE CORRESPONDING LAND USE GUIDING OUR HIGH INTENSITY. BUT AS THE STAFF HAS POINTED

495
01:36:49.269 --> 01:37:00.781
OUT AND THIS WAS REALLY THE THE KEY MOMENT WHEN WE KIND OF HAD A COMING TOGETHER IS WHEN STAFF PUT FORWARD THE IDEA THAT WHAT ABOUT MORE FLEXIBLE ZONING SUCH AS THE

496
01:37:00.781 --> 01:37:11.090
SIX TWO DISTRICT AND WE REALLY SAW THAT AS AN OPPORTUNITY AND I'VE SAID THIS BEFORE BUT DEVELOPERS DON'T LEAVE OPPORTUNITIES ON THE TABLE. SO IF THERE'S A THREE ACRE SITE THAT'S MANDATE OR A 2.75

497
01:37:11.090 --> 01:37:21.969
ACRES, I SUSPECT THERE MIGHT BE SOME ROUNDING UP TO THREE ACRES OR EVEN MORE. BUT IF THERE'S A SITE OF THAT SIZE WHICH CAN'T BE PARKED AND IT'S SITTING ON AMERICAN

498
01:37:21.969 --> 01:37:33.380
BOULEVARD AND WE HAVE THIS FLEXIBLE ZONING SCHEME, IT'S GOING TO DEVELOP AND THE OTHER THING THAT'S EMBEDDED IN THIS IS THE PARKING CAN BE INTEGRATED IN THE DEVELOPMENT

499
01:37:33.380 --> 01:37:45.025
AND SO YOU CAN IMAGINE A LAYER OF PARKING UNDERGROUND ZONED OR ABOVEGROUND THAT PROVIDES THAT AIRPORT PARKING BUT ALSO SUPPLIES THE DEVELOPMENT. SO A LOT OF CREATIVE THINGS CAN HAPPEN AND SO IT'S OUR

500
01:37:45.025 --> 01:37:56.537
EXPECTATION AND HOPE THAT THIS WILL BE THE LAST NIGHT AT LEAST AT THIS STAGE BEFORE SOMETHING COMES FORWARD TO DEVELOP THE SITE. I WANT TO POINT OUT TWO THINGS BECAUSE IT CAME UP IN THE

501
01:37:56.537 --> 01:38:08.182
DISCUSSION PREVIOUSLY. THIS IS NOW AS YOUR STAFF HAS POINTED OUT THROUGHOUT THE REPORT CONSISTENT WITH YOUR COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE PLAN, CONSISTENT IN A WAY THAT IT SAYS YOU CAN DO BOTH AND NOT

502
01:38:08.182 --> 01:38:20.093
EITHER OR AND THAT'S REALLY THE PLUS OF OF ALL OF THIS DISCUSSION AND ALL THIS HARD WORK. THE OTHER THING THAT THAT STAFF POINTED OUT IS THAT THIS IS THIS IS MORE FLEXIBLE AND THAT IS REALLY THE KEY.

503
01:38:20.093 --> 01:38:31.638
SO WITH THAT I THINK THERE'S AN IMPORTANT OPPORTUNITY FOR THE CITY. I MET WITH YOUR NEW CITY MANAGER LAST FALL AND SAID THIS CAN GO ONE WAY OR THE

504
01:38:31.638 --> 01:38:43.116
OTHER AND AND WE ALL COLLECTIVELY TOOK IT IN A GOOD DIRECTION AND I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT. SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR. GRIFFITH. ALSO ANY QUESTIONS OF MR. GRIFFITH? COUNCILMEMBER LOWMAN THANK

505
01:38:43.116 --> 01:38:54.161
YOU, MAYOR. MR. GRIFFITH, I DO HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU. I HAVE TO DO THIS OBLIGATORY QUESTION. THANK YOU. YOU KNOW, ARE THERE ANY CONCERNS OF YOU OR THE

506
01:38:54.161 --> 01:39:05.239
APPLICANT OF YOU KNOW, ANY MARKET FACTORS OR HARDSHIPS THAT MAY ARISE AND YOU KNOW HOW MANY HOW MANY YOU DEAL WITH THAT OR YOU KNOW, BECAUSE

507
01:39:05.239 --> 01:39:17.016
WE'VE BEEN IN THIS SITUATION BEFORE AND I'M JUST I'M JUST CONCERNED I JUST TO ASK THE QUESTION, YOU KNOW, IF YOU FORESEE THAT IT ALL RIGHT NOW IT DOESN'T LOOK THAT WAY BUT THINGS COME UP AND I'M JUST

508
01:39:17.016 --> 01:39:27.795
CURIOUS HOW ONE MIGHT LOOK AT THAT OR HOW THAT MIGHT COME BACK. MR. MAYOR COUNCIL MEMBER LOWMAN I APPRECIATE THAT AND I THINK ABOUT PLACES IN THIS COMMUNITY AND PLACES AND OTHER COMMUNITIES THAT WE ALL KNOW

509
01:39:27.795 --> 01:39:39.806
WHEN THOSE BOOM CYCLES COME ALL A SUDDEN AN ENTIRE AVENUE SUDDENLY HAS NEW DEVELOPMENT AND HOUSING GOING UP AND AND YOU JUST KIND OF WOWED BY HOW MUCH CAN HAPPEN IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. AND NOW WE'VE BEEN THROUGH A

510
01:39:39.806 --> 01:39:50.183
LONG STRETCH OF DIFFICULT INTEREST RATES AND DIFFICULT DIFFICULT FINANCING IN THE APARTMENT BUILDING THAT MS. MUIR PROPOSED WAS A VERY REAL A SHE WAS A WEEK AWAY FROM PULLING A BUILDING PERMIT.

511
01:39:50.183 --> 01:39:59.993
YOU ALL KNOW THE STORY OR OR SHOULD BY NOW AND IN THE MARKET CHANGE AND FINANCING WASN'T AVAILABLE AND YOU COULDN'T GET A GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE SO EVERY EVERY

512
01:39:59.993 --> 01:40:12.272
CYCLE HAS ITS CHALLENGES BUT WHAT YOU HAVE DONE OR WHAT YOU DID IN MARCH AND HOPEFULLY YOU'LL CONTINUE WITH THIS ACTION TONIGHT IS SET THE TABLE TO GIVE US THE MAXIMUM FLEXIBILITY TO BRING FORWARD

513
01:40:12.272 --> 01:40:24.117
SOMETHING AND WE CAN ALL IMAGINE WITH THE WAY THAT THE MARKET IS CHANGING AND I AND THE WAY PEOPLE TRAVEL AND THE WAY NOW THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT FLYING CARS, YOU KNOW, WHO

514
01:40:24.117 --> 01:40:35.596
KNOWS BUT BUT YOU'VE YOU'VE REALLY SET THE TABLE WITH YOUR RCH ACTION TO MAKE ALL POSSIBILITIES AVAILABLE AND IT'S UP TO US NOW AS PROPERTY OWNERS AND DEVELOPERS AND MAYBE THERE'LL BE JOINT

515
01:40:35.596 --> 01:40:46.006
VENTURE PARTNERS TO BRING SOMETHING REALLY SPECIAL TO YOUR COMMUNITY. SO I THINK YOU'VE DONE YOUR JOB AND THE NEXT 1010 YEARS IT'S BACK IN OUR COURT.

516
01:40:46.006 --> 01:40:57.083
THE QUESTIONS COUNCILMEMBER NELSON YEAH. THANK YOU. A QUICK QUESTION WITH REGARDS TO YOU NOTED THAT THIS IS CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS THAT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AS IT

517
01:40:57.083 --> 01:41:06.360
STANDS TODAY OR AS AMENDED IF WE TAKE ACTION? MR. SAID AREA COUNCILMEMBERS YEAH, THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION

518
01:41:06.360 --> 01:41:17.604
AND YOU KNOW WHEN WE WENT THROUGH A RECENT SOUTH OF DISTRICT PLAN ADDENDUM THE AIRPORT PARKING STUDY WAS IN THE BACK OF OUR MINDS AND

519
01:41:17.604 --> 01:41:28.548
TRIED TO INCORPORATE SOME OF THAT FEEDBACK WITHIN THE PLAN ITSELF. AND SO THOSE CHANGES HAVE ALREADY BEEN IMPLEMENTED WHERE THERE REALLY IS THIS ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF THESE LONG

520
01:41:28.548 --> 01:41:39.592
STANDING BUSINESSES THAT COULD CONTINUE PROVIDED THAT THERE'S AVENUES FOR FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT. OKAY. I WAS SPECIFICALLY ASKING ABOUT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN

521
01:41:39.592 --> 01:41:52.038
WHICH HAS NOT BEEN AMENDED YET NOT THE SOUTH LOOP DISTRICT PLAN. YOU KNOW, I THINK THE THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS QUITE GENERAL BUT WHEN WE HAVE A SITE WHERE THERE IS A DISTRICT

522
01:41:52.038 --> 01:42:03.150
PLAN, WE LOOK TO THAT BECAUSE THAT TENDS TO HAVE LITTLE MORE SPECIFIC GUIDANCE AND IN THAT DISTRICT PLAN THERE WAS SOME SOME CHANGES THAT I THINK IS CONSISTENT WITH THIS PROPOSAL . OKAY. AND THEN AND THEN SPECIFICALLY

523
01:42:03.150 --> 01:42:16.396
LOOKING AT THAT SOUTH LOOP PLAN, THE NOTES IN OUR PACKET SPECIFICALLY SAY PERMANENT REMOTE AIRPORT PARKING WITHOUT FUTURE REDEVELOPMENT IS INCONSISTENT WITH THE GOALS OF THE DISTRICT PLAN.

524
01:42:16.396 --> 01:42:28.041
IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT OVER NINE ACRES OF THIS PROPERTY WILL BECOME IF THIS IS APPROVED PERMANENT OFF AIRPORT PARKING AND IT SAYS SPECIFICALLY THAT THAT IS

525
01:42:28.041 --> 01:42:38.918
INCONSISTENT WITH THE SOUTH LOOP PLAN. MR. MAYOR, COUNCIL MEMBERS I THINK THE THE INTENT OF THAT LANGUAGE IS TO PROHIBIT A 100% REMOTE AIRPORT PARKING

526
01:42:38.918 --> 01:42:51.264
FACILITY OF THE 12 ACRES 12.2 ACRES THAT YOU LOOKED AT IN THE SLIDE. AND SO WE FELT THAT IT WOULD BE CONSISTENT PROVIDED THAT THERE WAS SOME PERMANENT

527
01:42:51.264 --> 01:43:03.577
DEVELOPMENT, OTHER THAN REMOTE AIRPORT PARKING. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU MY QUESTIONS COUNSEL

528
01:43:03.577 --> 01:43:15.489
LET'S REMEMBER REVISE. JUST A QUICK QUESTION BY 22, 2036, IS IT EXPECTED TO HAVE ANY STRUCTURE ALREADY UP OR

529
01:43:15.489 --> 01:43:26.500
BREAKING GROUND AT THAT POINT? SO MAYOR COUNCILMEMBERS, THE SO THE THE CODE AS IT SITS TODAY WOULD NOT REQUIRE A PERMANENT STRUCTURE TO BE

530
01:43:26.500 --> 01:43:37.844
BUILT ON THE SITE. THAT'S CERTAINLY THE HOPE AND THE EXPECTATION AND IT'S LOGICAL FOR THAT TO HAPPEN. WHAT IS REQUIRED IS A 2.75 ACRE SITE THAT CANNOT BE USED

531
01:43:37.844 --> 01:43:48.155
FOR A REMOTE OR SURFACE REMOTE AREA FOR PARKING WITH A PERIMETER LANDSCAPED BUFFER. AND IF WE PUT OUR DEVELOPMENT EFFORTS ON THAT SEEMS SILLY

532
01:43:48.155 --> 01:43:57.864
RIGHT TO HAVE A 2.75 ACRE SITE THAT YOU CAN'T GENERATE ANY REVENUE FROM. AND SO IT REALLY INCENTIVIZES PERMANENT DEVELOPMENT.

533
01:43:57.864 --> 01:44:11.678
LET ME REPHRASE THE QUESTION. WHAT I WANT TO KNOW IS WHETHER THE DEVELOPMENT OF THAT PROPERTY WOULD HAPPEN BEFORE

534
01:44:11.678 --> 01:44:23.457
2036 OR 2036 WOULD BE THE YEAR THAT WOULD TRIGGER THAT IF IT DOES HAPPEN AT THIS POINT BECAUSE JUST YOU KNOW, I UNDERSTAND THAT THE THE PIECE OF LAND 2.75 ACRES WILL BE PUT ASIDE.

535
01:44:23.457 --> 01:44:35.101
BUT MY QUESTION IS WOULD IT BE BUILT BY 2036? DO WE REQUIRE THEN TO HAVE A STRUCTURE AT THAT POINT OR ARE WE JUST LEAVING IT UP TO MR. MAYOR COUNCILMEMBERS? THERE WOULD BE NO GUARANTEES

536
01:44:35.101 --> 01:44:45.679
THAT A STRUCTURE WOULD BE COMPLETED BY 2036. I THANK YOU AND COUNCIL I AN OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS ONE. OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING ON

537
01:44:45.679 --> 01:44:56.490
4.4. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING PARKING FLY REGARDING REZONING AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR 3737 50 AMERICAN BOULEVARD EAST.

538
01:44:56.490 --> 01:45:08.001
ANYONE IN THE COUNCIL CHAMBERS WISHING TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM ? MS. MAYOR, WE COULD HAVE LET YOU IN JUST AS A AS THE AS THE OH, SORRY I DIDN'T WANT TO INTERRUPT THE EVERYBODY HAD

539
01:45:08.001 --> 01:45:18.444
QUESTIONS. I JUST WANTED TO SAY A COUPLE OF THINGS REALLY QUICKLY. I DON'T WANT TO TAKE TOO MUCH OF YOUR TIME BUT I'VE BEEN AT MANY OF THESE MEETINGS OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS AND WE'VE

540
01:45:18.444 --> 01:45:28.288
REALLY TRIED HARD TO COME UP WITH A COMPROMISE AND AND YOU KNOW, THROUGH THROUGH THIS WHOLE PROCESS ONE OF THE BIGGEST STUMBLING BLOCKS I

541
01:45:28.288 --> 01:45:39.733
THINK THAT PEOPLE RAN INTO IS THAT WE I KNOW THAT YOU OBVIOUSLY WANT HIGH INTENSITY DEVELOPMENT ALONG AMERICAN BOULEVARD AND ONE OF THE BIG

542
01:45:39.733 --> 01:45:50.410
IMPEDIMENTS TO THAT IS HAS BEEN THIS WHOLE TIME HAVING TEMPORARY RIGHTS IS IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO INVEST THAT KIND OF REVENUE IN SOMETHING THAT COULD EXPIRE AND BE TAKEN AWAY.

543
01:45:50.410 --> 01:46:01.587
BANKS REALLY DON'T LIKE IT. THEY LIKE YOU KNOW, THEY WANT SOLID GROUND. THEY DON'T WANT TO BE INVESTING IN YOUR PROPERTY IF IT'S ON SHIFTING SANDS. SO THAT'S BEEN ONE BIG PROBLEM

544
01:46:01.587 --> 01:46:12.632
AND YOU KNOW THROUGH THIS ALSO YOU KNOW, WE SAW THAT YOU KNOW, YOU HANDLED IT FOR THE MALL AND FOR, YOU KNOW, MR. KADING AND HIS GROUP AND CERTAIN OTHER PEOPLE ALONG

545
01:46:12.632 --> 01:46:25.178
THIS YOU KNOW AND BASICALLY I FEEL LIKE BILL AND MYSELF HAVE REALLY DONE WHATEVER HAS BEEN ASKED OF US TO GET TO A COMPROMISE. AND SO I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF, YOU

546
01:46:25.178 --> 01:46:36.990
KNOW, WE HAD MORE OR LESS GOTTEN, YOU KNOW, TO A REASONABLE COMPROMISE. SO I JUST WANTED TO KIND OF HIGHLIGHT THOSE ITEMS. ALL RIGHT.

547
01:46:36.990 --> 01:46:47.867
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANKS FOR COMING. OH, THE FLEXIBILITY I THINK WOULD ALSO HELP AND THIS IS MY OTHER LAST LAST MINUTE IS THAT I HAVE NO INTENTION OF HAVING

548
01:46:47.867 --> 01:46:59.145
2.75 ACRES OF VACANT LAND THAT WE'RE PAYING TAX ON WHEN YOU ARE NOW OPENING IT UP TO WE COULD DO FOOD, WE COULD DO ENTERTAINMENT, WE COULD DO OFFICE APARTMENTS AND I MEAN I

549
01:46:59.145 --> 01:47:10.624
THINK THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS WHY THE MALL OF AMERICA HAS BEEN SO SUCCESSFUL IS THEY HAVE SUCH A VARIETY OF USES THAT THEY CAN USE THAT YOU'RE GOING TO FIND SOMETHING THAT WORKS BUT WHEN

550
01:47:10.624 --> 01:47:19.766
YOU'RE STUCK YOU CAN ONLY DO THIS AND YOU HAVE TO DO A CERTAIN PORTION OF IT AFFORDABLE AND YOU HAVE TEMPORARY RIGHTS. IT'S NOT AN EASY FIX. SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

551
01:47:19.766 --> 01:47:32.645
THANK YOU. OTHERS WISHING TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM IS READY. WE HAVE ANYONE ON THE PHONE? >> MAYBE WE DO NOT HAVE ANYONE ON LINE.

552
01:47:32.645 --> 01:47:44.858
LAST CALL FOR ANYONE IN THE CHAMBERS COUNCIL. NO ONE COMING FORWARD IN THE CHAMBERS. WE HAVE NO ONE ON THE PHONE WISHING TO SPEAK. I'LL LOOK FOR A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING THAT IN 4.4 SO MOVED SECOND MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER LOWMAN

553
01:47:44.858 --> 01:47:55.735
SECOND BY COUNCILMEMBER CARTER TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING ITEM 4.4 NO FURTHER COUNCIL DISCUSSION ON THIS. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR PLEASE SIGNIFY BY SAYING I I ALWAYS MOTION CARRIES SEVEN ZERO SO

554
01:47:55.735 --> 01:48:07.113
COUNCIL THOUGHTS ON THIS COUNCILMEMBER NELSON THEN COUNCILMEMBER LOWMAN MEMBER NELSON YEAH THANK YOU MAYOR AND I APPRECIATE THAT YOU DON'T WANT TO RELITIGATE THIS BUT I CONTINUE TO BE OPPOSED TO THIS. I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE'S ONE

555
01:48:07.113 --> 01:48:17.957
VIEWPOINT THAT THIS WILL DEVELOP SOME HIGH INTENSITY USE BUT THE REALITY IS IS IT LOCKS IN OVER NINE ACRES OF SURFACE OFF AIRPORT PARKING

556
01:48:17.957 --> 01:48:32.072
SOMETHING THAT THIS CITY THIS THE PREVIOUS COUNCILS DID NOT DO FOR THREE DECADES. WE WILL BE THE FIRST ONES TO DO THAT AND I THINK IT'S ABSOLUTELY WRONG AND I AND FRANKLY I THINK THEY MADE THE

557
01:48:32.072 --> 01:48:43.249
CASE FOR US. THEY SAID WE'RE NOT GOING TO LET 2.7 ACRES SIT THERE. WHAT ABOUT THE 12 ACRES? THE REASON IT HASN'T BEEN

558
01:48:43.249 --> 01:48:54.393
DEVELOPED IS BECAUSE OF THE OFF AIRPORT PARKING AND IF THAT JUST GOES AWAY AT THE END OF THE INTERIM USE GUESS WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.

559
01:48:54.393 --> 01:49:04.737
12 ACRES WILL GET DEVELOPED NOT 2.7. THERE IS NO REASON TO PASS THIS.

560
01:49:04.737 --> 01:49:16.316
I APPRECIATE STAFF DOING A REALLY GREAT JOB OF OF TRYING TO MAKE THE ARGUMENT BUT IT DOES NOT MEET THE SOUTH LOOP DISTRICT PLAN. IT DOES NOT MEET THE CURRENT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UNLESS WE

561
01:49:16.316 --> 01:49:26.992
CHANGE THAT PLAN IT DOES NOT MEET ANY OF THAT. ONE OF MY COLLEAGUES AND I FORGET WHO LAST TIME SAID THAT THEY AGREED WITH ME BUT THEY FELT THAT THERE WAS STAFF RECOMMENDATION FOR THIS.

562
01:49:26.992 --> 01:49:38.904
LOOK AT EVERYTHING STAFF HAS SAID FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS. THEY HAVE CONSISTENTLY SAID THAT THIS WAS NEVER A USE THAT WAS CONTEMPLATED, THAT THIS

563
01:49:38.904 --> 01:49:50.817
WAS NEVER A USE THAT WAS WANTED IN THAT AREA OTHER THAN TO BE TEMPORARY AND LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENED WHEN IT WAS APPROVED. THERE WAS A TEMPORARY USE

564
01:49:50.817 --> 01:49:59.826
PERMIT. YOU CAN ARGUE THAT MAYBE THAT WASN'T SOMETHING THE CITY COULD DO. I WOULD ARGUE THAT THERE WAS ZERO HARM. IT WAS ONLY TO THE BENEFIT OF THEM TO BE ABLE TO DO MAKE REVENUE FOR A SHORT PERIOD

565
01:49:59.826 --> 01:50:11.671
OF TIME. SO I DON'T I MEAN I KNOW THERE'S BEEN TALKS OF LAWSUITS. I HAVE ZERO IDEA WHAT BASIS THERE WOULD BE WHEN THERE WAS NO HARM THAT YOU'VE MADE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FOR 30

566
01:50:11.671 --> 01:50:23.116
YEARS ON THIS PROJECT THAT YOU WERE SOMEHOW HARMED ON THAT I DON'T SEE THIS AS GOOD FOR THE PEOPLE OF BLOOMINGTON, FOR THE RESIDENTS, THE BUSINESSES

567
01:50:23.116 --> 01:50:35.061
BECAUSE THEY DON'T PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE OF TAXES PROPERTIES NEXT TO THEM THAT ARE MUCH SMALLER PAY HIGHER TAXES BECAUSE THEY HAVE BUILDINGS AND SO WE'RE AS RESIDENTS

568
01:50:35.061 --> 01:50:45.171
SUBSIDIZING THIS PLACE IN ORDER TO NOT HAVE THAT. AND SO I YOU KNOW, I, I MADE MY CASE LAST TIME. I UNDERSTAND WHERE YOU ALL CAME DOWN. BUT I GUESS MY BASIC QUESTION

569
01:50:45.171 --> 01:50:55.348
IS DO YOU REALLY, REALLY WANT TO APPROVE SURFACE PARKING NINE ACRES OF SURFACE PARKING IN THE SOUTH LOOP? THAT IS WHAT THIS DECISION

570
01:50:55.348 --> 01:51:09.428
DOES. COUNCILMEMBER LOGAN THANK YOU, MAYOR. AND YOU KNOW THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER NELSON YOU KNOW, I, I CERTAINLY SEE WHERE

571
01:51:09.428 --> 01:51:20.540
YOU'RE COMING FROM, YOU KNOW, AND I'LL CONCEDE YOU KNOW, I'M SKEPTICAL. YOU KNOW, THAT THE MARKET WILL MATCH OUR OUR VISION IN TERMS OF OF WHAT'S OUT THERE.

572
01:51:20.540 --> 01:51:30.783
I THINK YOU KNOW, I'VE GOT TO I'VE GOT TO CONCEDE THAT BUT YOU KNOW YOU KNOW AND I I REMEMBER I WAS YOU KNOW, QUITE LOCKED IN A NUMBER OF YEARS

573
01:51:30.783 --> 01:51:43.462
BACK WITH REGARDS TO HOW WE DID OUR APARTMENT BUILDINGS AND HOW WE HAD STORAGE IN THERE. YOU KNOW, CERTAINLY FROM MY EXPERIENCE I THOUGHT, YOU KNOW, CAN I TRUST THE MARKET

574
01:51:43.462 --> 01:51:55.474
TO DRIVE WHAT WOULD TAKE PLACE? YOU KNOW, THIS MARKET THIS THIS COUNCIL KIND OF WENT IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION DURING THAT PERIOD OF TIME AND WE MADE THE DECISION THAT WE WERE GOING TO LET WE'RE GOING TO TRUST THE MARKET TO KIND

575
01:51:55.474 --> 01:52:06.152
OF LEAD WHERE WE NEEDED TO GO WITH THIS. AND SO I THINK IT'S IT'S KIND OF BEEN OUR STANCE ON THIS COUNCIL TO KIND OF LET'S SEE WHAT THE MARKET WILL BEAR OUT AND SEE WHAT WHAT IT CAN DO

576
01:52:06.152 --> 01:52:18.398
NOW I THINK WE CAN'T LET THAT BE SOMETHING THAT'S ALL BY ITSELF. I THINK WE YOU KNOW AS A COUNCIL IS FROM A DEVELOPMENT STANDPOINT HAVE A ROLE TO PLAY

577
01:52:18.398 --> 01:52:29.342
TO KIND OF HELP TO DRIVE DRIVE THAT THAT EXPERIENCE THAT'S HAPPENING THERE IN THE SOUTH LOOP AND I TRUST THAT THIS COUNCIL AND I TRUST THAT OUR STAFF WILL REALLY BE ABLE TO DO THAT OVER THE TIME. ABSOLUTELY.

578
01:52:29.342 --> 01:52:40.920
YOU KNOW, THIS IS A RISKY, YOU KNOW, ENDEAVOR AND WHAT I WOULD SAY IS, YOU KNOW, WHILE I YOU KNOW, I DON'T LIKE THE SOLUTION THAT WE'VE ALREADY

579
01:52:40.920 --> 01:52:52.231
AGREED TO IN PREVIOUS MEETINGS THE MAYOR TALKED ABOUT THAT I WOULD BE HARD PRESSED TO FIND ANOTHER SOLUTION THAT WOULD BE ABLE TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM.

580
01:52:52.231 --> 01:53:02.742
YOU KNOW, YOU SHOW ME ANOTHER SOLUTION THAT WOULD ALLOW THIS THIS FLEXIBILITY AND AND WE'RE GOING TO SEE IT ABOUT TEN YEARS WHETHER OR NOT THIS TAKES PLACE.

581
01:53:02.742 --> 01:53:15.355
BUT YOU KNOW, I MEAN WE CAN'T CONTINUE TO DO THE SAME THING THAT WE'VE BEEN DOING AND EXPECT A CHANGE. I THINK ALL THE THE PROPERTY OWNERS HAVE RIGHTS.

582
01:53:15.355 --> 01:53:24.463
THEY'RE LOOKING FOR FLEXIBILITY. THIS PROVIDES THAT FLEXIBILITY OF I WANT TO GO WITH YOU BUT I JUST YOU KNOW, I DON'T SEE WHAT THE OTHER SOLUTION IS. SO BARRING ANOTHER SOLUTION

583
01:53:24.463 --> 01:53:37.010
THAT'S PRESENTED HERE TONIGHT, I WILL BE SUPPORTING THIS AND MOVING THIS FORWARD. BUT I THINK WE'VE GOT TO BE CAREFUL AS A COUNCIL TO STOP HERE AND SHUT THIS THING DOWN WITHOUT HAVING ANOTHER

584
01:53:37.010 --> 01:53:49.221
SOLUTION IN MIND. THANK YOU FOR OTHERS. COUNCIL MEMBER DALLESSANDRO THANKS MR. MAYOR. THIS IS A CONFLICT FOR ME BECAUSE MY HEART IS WITH

585
01:53:49.221 --> 01:54:00.332
COUNCILMEMBER NELSON'S OPINION ABOUT IT. I THINK I THINK YOU KNOW THERE'S VOLATILITY IN THE MARKET OF COURSE. BUT I ALSO THINK THAT IT'S BEEN CLEAR FROM A VERY FOR A VERY, VERY LONG TIME THAT THE

586
01:54:00.332 --> 01:54:11.277
EXPECTATION OF THE SOUTH LOOP WAS THAT IT WAS DEVELOPED IN URBAN SCENARIOS AND WITH HIGH HIGH DEGREES OF OF DENSITY AND WALKABLE

587
01:54:11.277 --> 01:54:22.922
ENVIRONMENTS AND THE CONCEPTS WERE ALL REALLY CLEAR FROM THE JUMP AND SO THIS KIND OF FLIES IN THE FACE OF THAT. NOW I ALSO BELIEVE THAT IF THE

588
01:54:22.922 --> 01:54:37.203
APPLICANT WERE TO RECEIVE AN OFFER ON THOSE NINE ACRES THEY WOULD SELL THAT OUT OF THAT FOR THE RIGHT PRICE. SO BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THE MARKET DOES, RIGHT? AND SO YOU KNOW I, I THINK THAT THERE'S THERE'S THE WE'RE

589
01:54:37.203 --> 01:54:48.982
NOT SHUTTING OFF THE OPPORTUNITY FOR DEVELOPMENT TO HAPPEN ON THOSE OTHER ACRES BUT WE ARE GUARANTEEING THAT DEVELOPMENT WILL HAPPEN ON THE THREE ACRES OR WHATEVER THAT WE'RE THAT WE'RE WE'RE TALKING

590
01:54:48.982 --> 01:55:01.127
ABOUT HERE AND I DON'T LIKE THAT SOLUTION BUT I, I LIKE IT BETTER THAN THE POTENTIAL LITIGATION AND CHALLENGES THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO I MEAN I'M

591
01:55:01.127 --> 01:55:11.370
THE ONE THAT STOOD UP HERE AND SAID PARK A PLOW TRUCK IN FRONT OF THE THING AND DON'T LET ANYBODY PARK THERE SO I'M I'M WITH YOU IN THAT REGARD BECAUSE THAT WOULD FORCE THE ISSUE BUT I DON'T THINK IT SOLVES IT TO THE

592
01:55:11.370 --> 01:55:22.048
POINT IN THE TIME FRAME THAT WE WANT TO GET THREE ACRES AVAILABLE TO US TO TO BUILD RIGHT NOW I JUST TRULY HOPE THAT WE ACTUALLY SEE WHAT HAPPENS HAPPEN HERE WHICH IS

593
01:55:22.048 --> 01:55:32.825
YOU KNOW WHAT I'D LIKE TO SEE IS TWO THINGS ONE THAT THOSE THOSE ACRES ARE TAKEN VERY QUICKLY THAT THAT WE SEE YOU KNOW, THE WORK THAT'S BEEN DONE WITH WITH THE AC HOTEL AND HAZELWOOD DEVELOPMENT AND

594
01:55:32.825 --> 01:55:44.270
ALL THAT LIKE BECOME A THING THAT PEOPLE START TO ARCHETYPE AS THE WAY THAT YOU CAN DO THINGS IN THE SOUTH LOOP AND THAT THIS BECOMES A PLACE WHERE THE HAPPENS VERY QUICKLY I'LL PROBABLY SAY THE SAME EXACT THING WHEN WE TALK ABOUT

595
01:55:44.270 --> 01:55:53.012
THE NEXT ONE BUT THE BUT THE THE THE THE THE FORCING FUNCTION NEEDS TO BE AT THIS STAGE YOU KNOW EITHER YOU KNOW TO COUNCILMEMBER NELSON'S

596
01:55:53.012 --> 01:56:07.159
POINT SOME KIND OF LITIGATION OR SOME KIND OF SOLUTION AND I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANYBODY IN THE CITY THAT TRULY LOVES THIS PLAN BUT I DO THINK WE'LL GET FURTHER THAN WE WILL

597
01:56:07.159 --> 01:56:19.372
IN THE TIME FRAME THAT WE WANT BY DOING SOMETHING. SO I'M GOING TO HOLD MY NOSE WHEN I VOTE FOR THIS ONE BUT I WILL PROBABLY SUPPORT IT BUT I OTHERS COUNCIL I THINK

598
01:56:19.372 --> 01:56:30.983
ULTIMATELY I CERTAINLY UNDERSTAND YOUR ARGUMENTS COUNCILMEMBER NELSON BUT I ALSO UNDERSTAND THE REALITIES OF WHAT WE HAVE HERE IN BLOOMINGTON. WE'VE MADE THE SAME DECISIONS

599
01:56:30.983 --> 01:56:42.094
WITH THE PENDING AMERICAN PLAN THAT WE HAD REALIZING AND UNDERSTANDING THE REALITIES OF WHAT WE SAW IN FRONT OF US THAT WHAT WAS DRAWN ON PAPER, WHAT WAS ENVISIONED OR WHAT

600
01:56:42.094 --> 01:56:52.438
WAS DREAMT OR BELIEVED A WHILE AGO JUST WAS DIDN'T REFLECT REALITY AT THIS MOMENT. AND IF WE WANT TO WAIT FOR THAT REALITY TO ARRIVE WE ARE

601
01:56:52.438 --> 01:57:03.716
ALL GOING TO BE LONG GONE ON THIS COUNCIL AND IT WON'T BE WE WON'T BE AROUND ANYMORE. COUNCILMEMBER NELSON, THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE ALL THE FEEDBACK ON ON IT AND I WOULD JUST SAY THAT THE SOLUTION THAT I HAVE

602
01:57:03.716 --> 01:57:14.994
OFFERED IS TO JUST LET IT END AND TO LET THE MARKETPLACE WORK ON THAT LAND JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER LAND HOLDER IN THAT AREA INCLUDING THE

603
01:57:14.994 --> 01:57:25.871
CENTRAL STATION, INCLUDING THE MALL AND JUST ERICA. COUNCILMEMBER THANKS. THANKS. BUT I UNDERSTOOD WHAT YOU'RE SAYING AND WE'RE TRYING TO MOVE THINGS ALONG HERE BECAUSE WE WON'T BE HERE TILL 1030 ANYWAY. FAIR ENOUGH.

604
01:57:25.871 --> 01:57:40.119
OTHER THOUGHTS ON THIS COUNCIL IF NOT COUNCIL I WOULD LOOK FOR ACTION REGARDING 4.4. COUNCIL MEMBER LOGAN MAYOR I'LL MOVE A MOTION TO A

605
01:57:40.119 --> 01:57:50.463
RESOLUTION AMENDING THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION AT THREE 737 50 AMERICAN BOULEVARD EAST SOUTH LOOP MIXED USE TWO HIGH

606
01:57:50.463 --> 01:58:03.709
INTENSITY MIXED USE MOTION BY COUNCILMEMBER LOWMAN SECOND BY COUNCILMEMBER ROBERTSON COUNCILMEMBER NELSON QUESTION YES. YEAH. NO I'D LIKE TO MAKE AN

607
01:58:03.709 --> 01:58:14.820
AMENDMENT TO THE MOTION IN TERMS OF THE CONDITIONS OF IT, I'D LIKE TO ADD A CONDITION THAT CHANGE THE TAXES ON THE PORTION THAT IS

608
01:58:14.820 --> 01:58:29.735
OFF AIRPORT PARKING TO BE BASED ON INCOME AND NOT BASED ON THE BUILDING VALUATION .

609
01:58:29.735 --> 01:58:38.945
COUNCIL MEMBER LOWMAN HONESTLY COUNCILMEMBER NELSON I DON'T KNOW THAT THAT'S LEGAL COUNSEL THIS WOMAN I MEAN IF IT'S LEGAL I'D CONSIDER IT. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT I'M NOT MEAN AND I'M NERVOUS

610
01:58:38.945 --> 01:58:50.989
ABOUT MAKING AN AMENDMENT OF THAT LEVEL PORTION. I AT THIS MINUTE I WOULD BE AS WELL. BUT IT'S YOUR MOTION IS YOU ACCEPT THE MOTION I GUESS I

611
01:58:50.989 --> 01:59:00.032
WITH THE AMENDMENT WELL I WOULD LOOK TO THE CITY ATTORNEY BECAUSE I NEED TO HAVE A AND THAT WOULD ALSO LOOK INTO MY SECONDER IF YOU MR. WALKER I WOULD I WOULD

612
01:59:00.032 --> 01:59:13.613
REQUEST COUNCIL IS THAT WE WOULD IF THAT IS THE INTENT TO CONSIDER THAT MOTION THAT RATHER THAN TAKE SOMETHING OF THAT GRAVITY ON THE FLY I WOULD LIKE THE CITY ATTORNEY TO VISIT WITH THE CITY

613
01:59:13.613 --> 01:59:21.653
ASSESSOR AND JUST GET YOU A SOLID ANSWER RATHER THAN KIND OF COOK THAT UP HERE TONIGHT. SO ARE YOU SUGGESTING WE JUST

614
01:59:21.653 --> 01:59:31.664
TABLED THIS OR IT YET? I'M SUGGESTING YOU TABLE THAT IF THERE'S SUPPORT AMONG THE COUNCIL TO DO SO. YES.

615
01:59:31.664 --> 01:59:43.376
YEAH. SO COUNCILMEMBER LOHMANN, ARE YOU AMENABLE TO THE AMENDMENT? YOU KNOW, I MEAN I'M INTERESTED IN IT BUT I'LL TELL

616
01:59:43.376 --> 01:59:56.923
YOU THIS YOU KNOW IT WASN'T PRESENTED TODAY I GUESS WHAT I WOULD ASK MY COLLEAGUE IS IF WE WERE TO PASS THIS TONIGHT, WOULD YOU BE OPEN TO HAVING THAT COME BACK AND WE PASSED

617
01:59:56.923 --> 02:00:08.834
THAT LATER ON TO ADD ON TO THIS, WHAT IS THE PROCESS FOR CHANGING CONDITIONS AND WHAT LATITUDE DO WE HAVE TO DO THAT? IT'S A GOOD QUESTION. MR. WALKER MISMANAGING

618
02:00:08.834 --> 02:00:19.545
ANYBODY? MR.. >> MR. JOHN JOHNSON YEAH. I'LL LOOK TO MAYOR COUNCILWOMAN NELSON I'LL LOOK TO MIKE SCENARIO TO JOIN ME TO

619
02:00:19.545 --> 02:00:30.689
MAKE SURE THAT I MY HEAD IS SCREWED ON STRAIGHT HERE FOR THIS QUESTION BUT I DON'T BELIEVE YOU BE AMENDING THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT ACTION YOU'D BE THE CONDITIONS ARE SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT I BELIEVE SO THAT

620
02:00:30.689 --> 02:00:40.799
WOULD BE THE ONLY THING WE HAVE TO HOLD UP. I BELIEVE THAT'S CORRECT. IF YOU WANT TO AMEND THE CONDITION OR ADD THAT CONDITION, MR. MAYOR COUNCIL RESERVES CORRECT.

621
02:00:40.799 --> 02:00:53.179
SO WE DO NOT INCLUDE ANY RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS FOR THE GUIDE PLAN CHANGE OR THE REZONING. TRADITIONALLY WE WE HAVEN'T HAD ANY CONDITIONS ASSOCIATED

622
02:00:53.179 --> 02:01:04.590
WITH THOSE TYPES OF CHANGES AS THE NAME SUGGESTS A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT HAS CONDITIONS. SO THEN MAYOR, WHAT I WOULD SAY BASED ON WHAT I HEAR THERE I THINK THAT'S MORE

623
02:01:04.590 --> 02:01:15.300
APPROPRIATE FOR THAT TO COME LATER ON. AND THEN IF THAT'S THE CASE THEN I THINK IT WOULD BE I WOULD I WOULD NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE MAKING THAT TYPE OF CHANGE RIGHT HERE ON THE

624
02:01:15.300 --> 02:01:24.443

JANUARY ARE JUNE 29TH OR JUNE WHATEVER THAT THE 20TH JUNE 2018 YEAH ARE YOU OKAY WITH ME PUTTING A POSTPONEMENT IN THIS MOTION? >> THIS MAIN MOTION? MAYOR MEMBERS I APPRECIATE

651
02:06:19.638 --> 02:06:28.113

652
02:06:28.113 --> 02:06:40.559
COULD MAKE IS SIMPLY TO POSTPONE IT TO A DATE CERTAIN. >> WELL THEN THAT'S WHAT I'LL MOVE THAT MOVE IT TO POSTPONE THIS THIS LAST SECTION SO COUNCILMEMBER LOGAN WILL RESCIND HIS LAST MOTION. THANK YOU.

657
02:07:28.073 --> 02:07:39.484
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS SAYING WHEN I SAY I DIDN'T WANT TO RELITIGATE THIS EVENING BECAUSE WE'VE MADE THIS DECISION AS A COUNCIL AND TO TO TRY AND THROW CONDITIONS ON THIS AT THIS TIME I THINK IS IS NOT FAIR TO THE

658
02:07:39.484 --> 02:07:49.995
APPLICANT AND I THINK IT KIND OF DISRESPECTS THE PROCESS THAT BOTH STAFF AND THE APPLICANT IN THIS COUNCIL HAVE GONE THROUGH OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS.

659
02:07:49.995 --> 02:08:00.873
SO WE'VE GOT A MOTION IN THE SECOND TO TABLE THIS PART. THE CONDITION OF THE APPROVAL OF THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT. ANY FURTHER COMMENTS ON THIS? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR PLEASE SIGNIFY BY SAYING I I I

661
02:08:11.316 --> 02:08:23.028

662
02:08:23.028 --> 02:08:33.405
A MOTION TO EXTEND OUR DEADLINE TO NO SOONER THAN 1015 BY THE TIME WE GET OUT OF HERE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GET OUR WORK DONE. A SECOND MOTION AND A SECOND VOTE, COUNCILMEMBER LOWMAN, TO EXTEND OUR ADJOURNMENT

663
02:08:33.405 --> 02:08:46.217
DEADLINE TO 1015 NO LATER THAN 1015. ALL TSE IN FAVOR PLEASE SIGNIFY BY SAYING I, I OPPOSED MOTION CARRIES. LET'S MOVE ON TO ITEM 4.5. THIS IS THE SECOND HALF OF THE

664
02:08:46.217 --> 02:08:58.363
DOUBLE HEADER. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING PARKING GO REGARDING REZONING AND COOPS 7901 INTERNATIONAL DRIVE

665
02:08:59.364 --> 02:09:10.676
. THANK YOU MR. MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS. A LOT OF THE SAME ISSUES OBVIOUSLY APPLY TO PARKING GO AND SO I WILL TRY TO BE

666
02:09:10.676 --> 02:09:21.853
BRIEFER OR MORE BRIEF. THE SAME ENTITLEMENTS ARE BEING SOUGHT. FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION FROM SOUTH LOOP MIXED USE TO HIGH INTENSITY MIXED USE THE

667
02:09:21.853 --> 02:09:33.298
BASE ZONING DISTRICT CHANGE IS THE SAME HSR262 AND YOU'RE BEING ASKED TO CONSIDER A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR REMOTE AIRPORT PARKING AT 79

668
02:09:33.298 --> 02:09:43.508
AND ONE INTERNATIONAL DRIVE AND SO PARKING GO WERE AT SEVEN NINE AND ONE INTERNATIONAL DRIVE SO 34TH AND AMERICAN BOULEVARD JUST A

669
02:09:43.508 --> 02:09:55.420
SLIGHTLY LARGER PROPERTY FEWER STALLS OVERALL BECAUSE PARKING GO IS 100% SURFACE PARKING. SIMILARLY THERE IS AN EXISTING INTERVIEWS PERMIT AND THAT INTERVIEWS PERMIT EXPIRES

670
02:09:55.420 --> 02:10:08.934
AUGUST EIGHTH OF NEXT YEAR AND YOU KNOW WE WENT THROUGH THE BACKGROUND BEFORE OF ALLOWING REMOTE PARKING AS A CONDITIONAL USE AND H R RIGHT

671
02:10:08.934 --> 02:10:18.143
I'M SORRY IN SIX TWO REMOVING IT AS AN INTERVIEW AND MATRIX ARE WITH THOSE STIPULATIONS ON A MINIMUM LOT AREA MINIMUM FLOOR AREA AND ALLOWING THE CONTINUATION OF SURFACE

672
02:10:18.143 --> 02:10:29.754
PARKING AS WELL AS INTEGRATION WITHIN DEVELOPMENT THE SAME LAND USE TAXATION CHANGE WOULD OCCUR SOUTH OF MIXED USE TO

673
02:10:29.754 --> 02:10:41.633
HIGH INTENSITY MIXED USE THE CORRESPONDING ZONING DISTRICTS THAT ARE INTENDED FOR THOSE LANGUAGE DESIGNATIONS GOING FROM H6R TO CX2 WOULD BE

674
02:10:41.633 --> 02:10:52.610
ACCOMPLISHED ON THE SITE. ONE MINOR THING TO NOTE IS THAT THIS IS NOT DOES NOT HAVE THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT OVERLAY AND SO IN THE FUTURE IF THERE IS A DEVELOPER PROPOSAL THAT NECESSITATES

675
02:10:52.610 --> 02:11:04.723
DEVELOPING FLEXIBILITY YOU WOULD ANTICIPATE A REZONING TO APPLY THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT OVERLAY TO THE SITE BECAUSE IT DOES NOT IT DOES NOT EXIST ON THIS PROPERTY.

676
02:11:04.723 --> 02:11:17.168
AND SO GOING THROUGH THAT ZONING EXERCISE AGAIN THE APPLICANT PUT TOGETHER SOME SKETCHES AND WHAT 2.75 ACRES WOULD LOOK LIKE AT THE PARK AND GO PROPERTY AND THAT'S

677
02:11:17.168 --> 02:11:28.680
WHAT THIS AND THAT'S WHAT THIS ESSENTIALLY WHAT THIS BOXES WHERE YOU HAVE THE MINIMUM LOT AREA THERE WAS A VARIETY OF CONCEPTS THAT THE APPLICANT IS PREPARED OVER THE YEARS

678
02:11:28.680 --> 02:11:39.824
FRANKLY SOME OF THAT WAS INCLUDED IN THE PACKET THAT SHOWED A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT DEVELOPMENT DEVELOPMENT PHASES OVER THE ENTIRETY OF THE PARKING LOT PROPERTY. BUT THIS SKETCH HERE JUST AS THE ZONING EXERCISE SHOWS 2.75

679
02:11:39.824 --> 02:11:53.738
ACRES WITH SOME LANDSCAPE BUFFER THIS IS A CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENT THAT YOU MAY HAVE MAY RECALL FROM PAST CONVERSATIONS AND AGAIN THIS IS CONCEPTUAL WE'RE NOT ASKING

680
02:11:53.738 --> 02:12:04.883
TO TAKE ACTION ON ON THIS DRAWING BUT THIS IS HOW THE APPLICANT PRESENTED A IS REALLY AN ENTIRE COMPLETE REDEVELOPMENT OF THE PARK AND GO PROPERTY WITH A VARIETY

681
02:12:04.883 --> 02:12:15.394
OF DIFFERENT PHASED DEVELOPMENTS WHETHER THAT'S A RESIDENTIAL MIXED USE OFFICE HOTEL THIS IS JUST ONE WAY THAT THIS SITE COULD REDEVELOP

682
02:12:15.394 --> 02:12:26.838
IN THE FUTURE. SIMILAR TO THE LAST APPLICATION THAT YOU SAW THE SITE IS LANDSCAPED AND THE PARKING GO PROPERTY HAS MORE

683
02:12:26.838 --> 02:12:37.983
LANDSCAPING TODAY THAN THE PARKING FLY PROPERTY BUT NONETHELESS IT STILL IS WELL SHORT OF COURT COMPLIANCE IF WE'RE WHEN WE CONSIDER IT AS PERMANENT DEVELOPMENT.

684
02:12:37.983 --> 02:12:46.858
SO AGAIN IF YOU SEE THIS PLAN, YOU SEE A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF LANDSCAPING ALONG THE PERIMETER BECAUSE OF WE EXEMPTED LANDSCAPED PARKING, LANDSCAPED LANDSCAPE PARKING

685
02:12:46.858 --> 02:12:58.536
ISLANDS BECAUSE THAT THAT CREATES AN OBSTRUCTION IN THE IN THE PARKING FIELD AND SO SIMILAR TO THE LAST APPLICATION AS PART OF A RECOMMENDED CONDITION

686
02:12:58.536 --> 02:13:11.716
OF APPROVAL THIS LANDSCAPING WOULD HAVE TO BE INSTALLED WITHIN THE NEXT YEAR. AND SO THE VERY SIMILAR MOTIONS ARE BEFORE YOU TONIGHT

687
02:13:11.716 --> 02:13:23.395
FOR THE LAND USE DESIGNATION CHANGE THE REZONING SUMMARY PUBLICATION AND THEN THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT. THANK YOU MR. CENTENARIO ANY QUESTIONS OF MR. CENTENARIO ON THIS?

688
02:13:23.395 --> 02:13:34.406
I KNOW I KNOW WE'VE GOT THE APPLICANT HERE AS WELL. I'M TRYING TO SEE AROUND YOU MAKE .

689
02:13:34.406 --> 02:13:45.416
GOOD EVENING. WELCOME MAYOR COUNCIL MEMBERS DAN WILLIAMSON PARK AND GOAL MR. LOWMAN I'M GOING TO GO RIGHT TO YOUR QUESTION BEFORE YOU ASK IT. THAT IS THE ONE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IN TEN YEARS?

690
02:13:45.416 --> 02:13:56.728
WELL, I CAN TELL YOU WHAT THERE'S $1.5 MILLION WORTH OF REASONS WHY IT WON'T SIT EMPTY AFTER TEN YEARS. THAT'S A SIMPLE ONE. THE SECOND ONE IS COURSE THE ONE WE ALL LOVE IS PROPERTY TAXES.

691
02:13:56.728 --> 02:14:07.339
WE CONTINUE TO PAY PROPERTY TAXES THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE MORE LET'S JUST SAY OPPORTUNITIES ON THE PROPERTY. YOU CAN SEE OUR PLAN. OUR PLAN SHOWS MULTIPLE USES

692
02:14:07.339 --> 02:14:18.784
ON THE PROPERTY UNDER THE OLD SYSTEM WHICH IS WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING TO CHANGE HERE. YOU JUST SIMPLY CAN'T DO ALL THAT AND OF COURSE IF THE PARKING'S NOT THERE THERE'S NO WAY TO FINANCE THE PROJECT GOING FORWARD.

693
02:14:18.784 --> 02:14:31.063
THIS IS JUST SIMPLE MATH SO GIVING US THE ABILITIES THAT YOU'VE PUT IN THIS PLAN A THE MULTIPLE OPTIONS TO THE BEING ABLE TO BUILD THE PARKING INTO THE DEVELOPMENT WHICH IS THAT FIRST DEVELOPMENT PHASE THAT

694
02:14:31.063 --> 02:14:41.840
WE HAD ON THE PAPER WHICH BY THE WAY WE HAVE THE NUMBERS AND EVERYTHING READY TO GO HAD INTEREST RATES NOT GONE THE WAY THEY HAD WE WOULD HAVE ACTUALLY STARTED OUR PROJECT ALREADY WHICH IS KIND OF INTERESTING.

695
02:14:41.840 --> 02:14:52.751
SO LIKE I SAY HOPEFULLY IT ANSWERED YOUR QUESTION THAT IT WON'T SIT EMPTY BECAUSE THAT IS THE MARKET AND WE MAKE MONEY BY DOING THINGS ON OUR PROPERTY. WE CURRENTLY PARK CARS.

696
02:14:52.751 --> 02:15:03.761
WE WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THAT REVENUE WITH SOMETHING IN TEN YEARS. SO I'M HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS COUNSEL ANY QUESTIONS. ALL RIGHT.

697
02:15:03.761 --> 02:15:15.606
THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. ANY MORE COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS OF STAFF COUNSEL IF NOT, I WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING

704
02:16:26.277 --> 02:16:37.455
THIS EVENING. I CAN TELL YOU AS A LAND USE ATTORNEY THAT CONDITIONS THAT YOU IMPOSE ON THIS APPLICANT OR THE APPLICANT BEFORE YOU HAVE TO BE REALLY RELATED TO

02:21:27.211 --> 02:21:38.589
YEAR UPDATE. MS. RENEE CLARK IS WITH US ON THIS ONE. GOOD EVENING. GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL. TONIGHT I'M HERE TO INTRODUCE THE FIVE YEAR PARK SYSTEM MASTER PLAN UPDATE I'LL

732
02:21:38.589 --> 02:21:50.701
PRESENT A PROCESS AND TAKE ANY EARLY FEEDBACK ON DIRECTION AS WE GET STARTED TONIGHT I'LL REVIEW THE 2021 PARKS SYSTEM

733
02:21:50.701 --> 02:22:02.714
MASTER PLAN IN PROCESS WE'LL TALK ABOUT WHY WE ARE PROPOSING THIS SYSTEM UPDATE EXPLAIN HOW WE'LL EVALUATE THE SYSTEM IN THE APPROACH TO THE WORK AND REVIEW SCHEDULE AND

734
02:22:02.714 --> 02:22:21.332
NEXT STEPS WITH YOU AND THE COMMUNITY AS WE WAIT FOR ADVANCING THE SLIDES I CAN JUST KEEP TALKING. >> I THINK YOU HAVE THE PRESENTATION THE PURPOSE

735
02:22:21.332 --> 02:22:33.711
OF THE UPDATE IS TO EXPAND ON THE DETAILS FOR IMPLEMENTATION AND EVALUATE SERVICE LEVELS FOR MAJOR PARK AMENITIES INCLUDING PLAYGROUND COURTS, ATHLETIC FIELDS AND TO PRIORITIZE CAPITAL INVESTMENT

736
02:22:33.711 --> 02:22:42.720
ALIGNING PRIORITIES AND FUNDING WITH COMMUNITY NEEDS. THE PARK SYSTEM MASTER PLAN AS WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IS GUIDING FOR FUTURE INVESTMENTS.

737
02:22:42.720 --> 02:22:56.367
IT'S NOT A PLAN FOR INDIVIDUAL PARKS. AS WE START THE UPDATE I WANT TO JUST REMIND US ABOUT THE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT THAT WE DID IN THE PARK SYSTEM MASTER

738
02:22:56.367 --> 02:23:07.845
PLAN A STATISTICALLY VALID SURVEY RECREATIONAL PROGRAM ANALYSIS THAT SAID THE COST RECOVERY MODEL THAT WE'RE USING TODAY IT GUIDES OUR CORE PROGRAMING.

739
02:23:07.845 --> 02:23:19.257
WE DID A DEMOGRAPHICS AND TRENDS ANALYSIS TO STUDY SERVICE LEVELS AND SITE NEW PARK AMENITIES AND WITH THIS UPDATE WE ARE GOING DEEPER INTO THAT SERVICE LEVEL TOO

740
02:23:19.257 --> 02:23:27.098
IDENTIFY HOW TO PRIORITIZE THOSE SPECIFIC PARK AMENITIES I TALKED ABOUT AND WILL LET'S

741
02:23:27.098 --> 02:23:41.846
TRY IT NOW SEE IF IT WORKS. THAT WAS THE REAL I CONTINUE TO HIGHLIGHT WITH OUR PARK IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS THESE TOP

742
02:23:41.846 --> 02:23:52.957
FRAME PRIORITY PARK ELEMENTS IDENTIFIED BY THE COMMUNITY AND COUNCIL THAT GUIDE OUR WORK. THE ACTION PLAN INCLUDES THESE PRIORITIES AND A NINE TOTAL

743
02:23:52.957 --> 02:24:04.902
THAT ESTABLISH A HIGH LEVEL IMPLEMENTATION FRAMEWORK. THIS GIVES US AN OPPORTUNITY TO EVALUATE PROGRESS AND DETERMINE WHAT COMES NEXT. SO UNDER EACH OF THESE NINE

744
02:24:04.902 --> 02:24:15.746
PRIORITIES THERE'S A CHECKLIST OF ITEMS THAT WE BRING TO YOU PERIODICALLY OVER THE LAST FIVE YEARS OF THINGS THAT WE HAVE ACCOMPLISHED. THIS IS A REALLY EXCITING SLIDE AND I WANT TO RECOGNIZE

745
02:24:15.746 --> 02:24:26.757
ALISON WARNER STRATEGY AND BUDGET MANAGER FOR PUTTING OUR PARK SYSTEM MASTER PLAN INTO AN VISIO AND CREATING THIS PROGRESS DASHBOARD FOR US IT IS ONLINE.

746
02:24:26.757 --> 02:24:37.735
THESE ARE SCREENSHOTS OF WHAT THAT LOOK LIKE. LOOKS LIKE THE NINE PRIORITIES WITH THE CHECKLIST ITEMS ARE THAT 74% PROGRESS OF ITEMS

747
02:24:37.735 --> 02:24:49.981
FIVE YEARS AGO WE SET OUT TO DO TO ADVANCE IMPROVEMENTS IN OUR PARK SYSTEM. SO THESE INCLUDE PARK IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS WITH NEW AMENITIES ADDED A FACILITIES CONDITION ASSESSOR MEANT THAT

748
02:24:49.981 --> 02:24:58.789
WE COMPLETED EQUITY PRIORITIZATION FRAMEWORK THAT'S INTEGRATED INTO OUR PLANNING A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF ASSET CONDITIONS AND REPLACEMENT NEEDS THAT'S DONE THROUGH OUR

749
02:24:58.789 --> 02:25:10.300
OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE PLAN. THE STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS WITH THREE RIVERS PARK DISTRICT WE IDENTIFIED EARLY ON AND SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS IN NATURAL RESOURCES AS

750
02:25:10.300 --> 02:25:21.746
PROMISED WITH THE MASTER PLAN WE'VE GOT COMMUNITY PARTNERS AND GREAT RIVER GREENING BLOOMINGTON NEIGHBORS NURTURE NATURE AND A NEW ADAPTIVE PARK PROGRAM ALL BEING TRACKED

751
02:25:21.746 --> 02:25:33.357
IN THIS PROCESS. AND THEN JUST A REMINDER THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO THE NINE MILE CREEK CORRIDOR RENEWAL PROJECT CAME THROUGH OUR RECOGNITION COUNCIL'S RECOGNITION OF NATURAL

752
02:25:33.357 --> 02:25:42.032
RESOURCES AS A COMMUNITY PRIORITY AND YOU KNOW I'LL JUST NOTE THIS EFFORT IS ONE OF THE MOST SIGNIFICANT OF ITS KIND IN THE METRO AREA WHAT WE'VE LEARNED AND WHY WE'RE

753
02:25:42.032 --> 02:25:53.244
UPDATING THE PLAN AFTER FIVE YEARS OF IMPLEMENTATION WE'VE GOT A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF FACILITY CONDITIONS, REPLACEMENT NEEDS, RECREATION

754
02:25:53.244 --> 02:26:04.722
TRENDS AND FUTURE COSTS. THE UPDATE WILL HELP US CONTINUE MAKING THOUGHTFUL INVESTMENTS THAT PROVIDE THE GREATEST COMMUNITY BENEFIT. WE WILL WORK TO ALIGN

755
02:26:04.722 --> 02:26:16.634
PRIORITIES CIP AND FUNDING WITH THIS UPDATE PARK MASTER PLANS ARE A TEN YEAR VISION THAT WE YOU KNOW, CHECK IN WITH THE COMMUNITY AND COUNCIL TO CREATE A ROADMAP AS

756
02:26:16.634 --> 02:26:25.142
YOU WILL. THIS FIVE YEAR UPDATE IS JUST ALIGNING WHAT WE'RE DOING IN A LITTLE GREATER DETAIL WITH THESE PRIORITY THESE AROUND

757
02:26:25.142 --> 02:26:36.754
SYSTEM NEEDS WITH COUNCIL AND PUBLIC INPUT THE FRAMEWORK EVALUATION WILL LOOK AT REPLACEMENT NEEDS USING

758
02:26:36.754 --> 02:26:48.332
RECENTLY COMPLETED CONDITION RATINGS THE HIGH IT WILL HIGHLIGHT THE EQUITY LENS OF THE EVALUATION FRAMEWORK THAT IS GOING TO BE THAT SUPPLY THAT ARE NEIGHBORHOOD

759
02:26:48.332 --> 02:27:00.411
SCALE AS WELL AS A CITYWIDE SCALE THAT OPERATIONALIZED EQUITY PRIORITIZATION TOOL WE TALKED ABOUT IN THE MASTER PLAN USES NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTER ASCETICS POPULATION

760
02:27:00.411 --> 02:27:11.489
CHARACTERISTICS AND PARK CONDITION THAT CREATE A PRIORITIZATION RANKING. THIS IS HOW WE CHOSE SMITH PARK AS OUR FIRST BIG PLAYGROUND REINVESTMENT WITH

761
02:27:11.489 --> 02:27:20.731
THAT NINJA STYLE WARRIOR COURSE WITH COMMUNITY INPUT IT'S ALSO HOW WE'RE PRIORITIZING NATURAL RESOURCES RESTORATION AT THAT SAME PARK WITH PARK WITH THE HENNEPIN

762
02:27:20.731 --> 02:27:32.510
COUNTY GRANT BRYANT PARK WAS CHOSEN USING THE SAME TOOL THE HIGHEST RANKED COMMUNITY PARK USING THIS TOOL AND ALSO THE SYNERGY TO PROVIDE NATURAL RESOURCES TRAIL LOOPS IN PARKS

763
02:27:32.510 --> 02:27:44.288
AND NEW PARK AMENITIES. BESIDES THIS TOOL WE'VE GOT A GEOGRAPHICAL LENS THAT USES COUNCIL DISTRICTS TO LOOK ACROSS THE CITY TO CREATE EQUITY AS WELL AS GENDER

764
02:27:44.288 --> 02:27:55.866
EQUITY IS DRIVEN RECENT INVESTMENTS WITH THE DRED SCOTT AND KELLY PLAYFIELD SET IMPROVE SOFTBALL FOR VARSITY AND KENNEDY GIRLS AS WELL AS OUR YOUTH ASSOCIATIONS. WE'LL USE THE YOUTH SPORTS STUDY RECREATION TRENDS AND

765
02:27:55.866 --> 02:28:06.677
COMMUNITY DEMAND AS WELL AS STAKEHOLDER AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT TO GUIDE THIS UPDATE IN COUNCIL YOU WILL ALL BE ENGAGED IN JULY FOR INDIVIDUAL CONVERSATIONS ON

766
02:28:06.677 --> 02:28:18.155
THAT YOUTH SPORTS STUDY. I'VE GOT A PLAYGROUND ANALYSIS HERE TO DEMONSTRATE THE DATA DRIVEN APPROACH WE ARE TAKING THE CURRENT SYSTEM HAS 42 CITY PLAYGROUNDS.

767
02:28:18.155 --> 02:28:30.000
OUR MAINTENANCE TEAM HAS USED A VARIETY OF METRICS AND CREATED A WEIGHTED FRAMEWORK TO EVALUATE IT NEEDS FOR

768
02:28:30.000 --> 02:28:41.812
REPLACEMENT LOOKING USING THIS FRAMEWORK 14 PLAYGROUNDS A THIRD OF OUR SYSTEM REQUIRE ARE UP FOR REPLACEMENT AND FIVE OF THOSE NO LONGER HAVE REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR

769
02:28:41.812 --> 02:28:52.489
MAINTENANCE. SO THIS IS TO ILLUSTRATE THERE'S A BACKLOG OF SOME WORK TO FURTHER DEMONSTRATE THE STANDARD DIFFERENT DRIVEN APPROACH. THE OVERLAPPING CIRCLES HERE

770
02:28:52.489 --> 02:29:01.465
SHOW REDUNDANT ACCESS TO PLAYGROUNDS. WE'LL USE DETAILED DATA LIKE THIS AND ABOUT PLAYGROUND CONDITIONS, SERVICE LEVELS AND THE OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE PLAN.

771
02:29:01.465 --> 02:29:14.712
THE EQUITY TOOL AND THE PARK MASTER PLAN TO LOOK AT OPTIONS FOR HOW WE APPROACH PLAYGROUND REPLACEMENT IN THIS CASE EARLY OBSERVATIONS DIFFERENT

772
02:29:14.712 --> 02:29:23.921
FACILITIES MAY SERVE DIFFERENT COMMUNITY FUNCTIONS AND MAY REQUIRE DIFFERENT INVESTMENT STRATEGIES. THIS EXAMPLE SHOWS HOW WE MAY EVALUATE DIFFERENT SERVICE

773
02:29:23.921 --> 02:29:35.065
LEVELS FOR PLAYGROUNDS. SOME FACILITIES FUNCTION AS COMMUNITY DESTINATIONS WHILE OTHERS SERVE MORE OF A NEIGHBORHOOD NEED. LOOKING AT FACILITIES THIS WAY WILL HELP US FOCUS INVESTMENTS

774
02:29:35.065 --> 02:29:46.010
WHERE THEY CAN PROVIDE THE GREATEST VALUE AND COMMUNITY BENEFIT. THIS SLIDE AGAIN IS ILLUSTRATING A POTENTIAL SERVICE LEVEL APPROACH FOR PLAYGROUNDS. I JUST WANT TO NOTE THIS IS AN

775
02:29:46.010 --> 02:29:57.687
EXAMPLE AND THAT NO DECISIONS ARE MADE THE UPDATE WILL IDENTIFY HOW TO MAINTAIN ACCESS AND PROVIDE EQUITY AMENITY IS WHERE FUTURE

776
02:29:57.687 --> 02:30:09.700
INVESTMENTS SHOULD OCCUR AND HOW THOSE INVESTMENTS CAN BE SUPPORTED THROUGH A SUSTAINABLE FUNDING STRATEGY. ALIGNING IP AND FUNDING WE'LL REVIEW SERVICE LEVELS OF THE KEY AMENITIES I MENTIONED

777
02:30:09.700 --> 02:30:21.412
PLAYGROUNDS, COURTS AND ATHLETIC FIELDS AND LINK THAT TO THE YOUTH SPORTS STUDY JUST NOT THIS YEAR. CAP WILL BE IN A STEP OF THIS DIRECTION ALIGNING OUR

778
02:30:21.412 --> 02:30:32.656
PRIORITIES AND PLANS NEXT YEAR'S CIP WILL BE MORE OF A REFLECTION OF THE WORK WE'RE WE'RE DOING UNDER THIS UPDATE ONGOING WILL CONTINUE TO EVALUATE PRIORITIES WITH CITY

779
02:30:32.656 --> 02:30:44.201
COUNCIL AS PART OF THE CIP PROCESS EACH YEAR A BIT ABOUT THE PROCESS AND NEXT STEPS WHERE WE'RE GOING THIS SUMMER WE'RE DOING THE ANALYSIS PHASE

780
02:30:44.201 --> 02:30:55.813
OF THE WORK KIND OF LOOKING MORE DEEPER AT THE PLAYGROUND EXAMPLE I SHOWED YOU ACROSS THE SYSTEM FOLLOWED UP BY COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND PRELIMINARY RECOMMENDATIONS

781
02:30:55.813 --> 02:31:07.224
COMING BACK THIS FALL TO A COUNCIL STUDY SESSION AND WE ANTICIPATE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR NEXT STEPS. Q ONE OF NEXT YEAR. SO AGAIN THE PURPOSE IS JUST TO INTRODUCE THIS UPDATE AND

782
02:31:07.224 --> 02:31:36.287
TAKE ANY INITIAL FEEDBACK IN DIRECTION AS WE GET STARTED . APOLOGIES. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH.

783
02:31:36.287 --> 02:31:48.599
COUNCIL QUESTIONS QUESTIONS COUNCILMEMBER DO I HAVE A QUESTION IN A COMMENT IF IT'S OKAY MR. MAYOR BECAUSE I THINK YOU'RE LOOKING FOR FEEDBACK RIGHT GENERALLY. SO FIRST QUESTION I HAVE IT

784
02:31:48.599 --> 02:32:01.378
WELL CAN YOU GO BACK TO THE SLIDE WITH THE CIRCLES ON THE MAP? SURE. OKAY. SO THE FIRST THING I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT IS WE CONTINUE TO HEAR FROM RESIDENTS AND I THINK IT'S OBVIOUS IN THIS MAP THAT WE DO NOT HAVE COVERAGE

785
02:32:01.378 --> 02:32:12.689
FOR PARKS AND RECREATION IN THE SAME WAY IN THE SOUTH LOOP AS WE NEED EVERYWHERE ELSE. SO MY FIRST COMMENT WOULD BE I DON'T KNOW THAT WE THOUGHT OR DIDN'T THINK ABOUT THAT IN THE PARKS MASTER PLAN. I'M TRYING TO REMEMBER BACK TO

786
02:32:12.689 --> 02:32:24.267
2021 WE WERE TALKING ABOUT IT BUT I KNOW WE RECEIVED FEEDBACK A DECENT AMOUNT OF FEEDBACK OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS ESPECIALLY FROM YOUNG PEOPLE SAYING HEY I'D REALLY LIKE TO HAVE A PLACE TO TO PLAY IN THE

787
02:32:24.267 --> 02:32:35.946
SOUTH LOOP AND YOU KNOW WHILE WE HAVE BLOOMINGTON CENTRAL STATION THAT'S NOT REALLY A PLAYGROUND, IT'S NOT REALLY A PARK AND SO SOME CONCERTED EFFORT TO TRY TO FIND SOME NATURAL SPACE AND GREEN SPACE

788
02:32:35.946 --> 02:32:46.357
THERE OR SOME PLAY SPACE WOULD BE I THINK GREAT. THE OTHER THING I'M CURIOUS ABOUT IS AND I GUESS MY QUESTION YOU KIND OF MENTIONED HOW YOU MIGHT LOOK AT THESE THINGS WHERE WE DO HAVE

789
02:32:46.357 --> 02:32:57.868
SIGNIFICANT OVERLAP IS IS THE UTILIZATION OF THE PARK A CONSIDERATION FOR NOT NECESSARILY I MEAN OBVIOUSLY NOT GETTING RID OF A PARK PER SE BUT TO TRANSFORM THE PARK

790
02:32:57.868 --> 02:33:09.446
USE IS THAT KIND OF THE IDEA AND HOW ARE YOU GOING TO GO ABOUT GETTING UTILIZATION INFORMATION AS PART OF THE STUDY THAT YOU'RE DOING TO SEE WHAT YOU SHOULD DO DIFFERENTLY

791
02:33:09.446 --> 02:33:20.758
WITH THAT PARK FOR EXAMPLE? MAYOR COUNCIL THANK YOU FOR THAT QUESTION. WE WILL I GIVE YOU A HIGH LEVEL OF HOW WE'RE APPROACHING THE WORK. IT'LL ALSO INCLUDE LOOKING AT

792
02:33:20.758 --> 02:33:32.970
PARK USAGE WHO'S USING THE PARK USING TOOLS LIKE PLACE ARRAY. I WILL USE REAL CENSUS DATA TO SEE WHO LIVES NEAR THE PARKS SOME DEEPER ANALYSIS ON NOT

793
02:33:32.970 --> 02:33:45.148
JUST COVERAGE BUT WHAT PEOPLE HAVE ACCESS TO. THERE ARE SEVERAL LAYERS TO THE EQUITY LINES THAT WE TALK ABOUT IN THE PARK SYSTEM MASTER PLAN AND IT'S DEEPER THAN JUST DO YOU HAVE ACCESS

794
02:33:45.148 --> 02:33:55.058
TO A PLAYGROUND BUT WHAT IS THAT KIND OF ACCESS AND QUALITY OF THE AMENITY WE KNOW NATURAL AREA ACCESS, NATURAL ACCESS TO NATURE IN ACROSS THE

795
02:33:55.058 --> 02:34:04.934
CITY ISN'T EQUAL AND WE TRY TO ADDRESS THAT THROUGH SMALLER EXPERIENCES AND CONNECTION TO NATURE THROUGH SOME OF THESE SITES AS WELL.

796
02:34:04.934 --> 02:34:18.515
SO THIS ONE SIMPLY LOOKING AT OVERLAPPING ACCESS WILL GO DEEPER THAN THAN JUST WHAT'S THERE. IS IT A PLAYGROUND? BUT WE WANT TO PRIORITIZE A

797
02:34:18.515 --> 02:34:29.359
COMMUNITY PARK IN THAT SERVICE AREA WHICH IS LARGER THAN A SMALLER PLAY LOT WHICH IS A PLAYGROUND WITH THAT SINGLE PARK AMENITY.

798
02:34:29.359 --> 02:34:38.168
PERHAPS PEOPLE LIVING THERE MIGHT PREFER SOME OTHER TYPE OF EXPERIENCE. IT COULD BE A SINGLE PLAY FEATURE THAT IS MORE EXCITING

799
02:34:38.168 --> 02:34:50.213
THAN A REALLY AGE ROUND OR IT COULD BE WE STUDY A PARK AND REALIZE THE AND WE'VE DONE THIS WHERE A LOT OF THE ACCESS IS OCCURRING OVER THE LUNCH

800
02:34:50.213 --> 02:35:01.625
HOUR AND A LOT OF THE PEOPLE ARE COMING THERE FROM PLACES WHERE YOU WOULD BUY FOOD. SO MAYBE WE PROVIDE ACCESS TO SOMETHING THAT SUITS YOU KNOW,

801
02:35:01.625 --> 02:35:13.504
A PLACE TO GATHER AND EAT YOUR LUNCH. SO UNDERSTANDING THE USE THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE NEAR THE PARK AND THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF THE PEOPLE WILL BE FACTORED INTO OUR EVALUATION AND THE RECOMMENDATIONS WE BRING.

802
02:35:13.504 --> 02:35:27.017
OKAY. AND YOU SAID Q1 OF 2027 IS WHEN WE'LL LIKELY HAVE YOU COME BACK AND KIND OF PULL TOGETHER THAT DATA AND MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR MODIFICATIONS. >> MAYOR COUNCILMEMBER DALLAS

803
02:35:27.017 --> 02:35:38.495
SANDEL EARLIER THAN THAT LATER THIS YEAR WILL BE BACK WITH THE STUDY SESSION WITH OUR FINDINGS AND SOME DISCUSSION TO HAVE ABOUT WHAT NEXT STEPS LOOK OKAY IN THE GOAL WOULD BE

804
02:35:38.495 --> 02:35:49.573
THEN TO MODIFY THE SIP OR WHATEVER TO TRY TO START TO INFUSE THE DEVELOPMENT OR THE INVESTMENT STRATEGY CORRECT. SO THIS YEAR WE'VE GOT AN EYE TOWARDS WE WE KNOW WHAT OUR

805
02:35:49.573 --> 02:36:02.553
BUDGET HOW WE'RE BUDGETING AND FUNDING ASSUMPTIONS WILL HAVE AN EYE TOWARDS NEEDS AND NEXT YEAR SIP WILL BE YOU KNOW MORE DIRECTLY AFFECTED BY THIS

806
02:36:02.553 --> 02:36:12.729
STUDY. OKAY. THE LAST COMMENT I'LL MAKE MR. MAYOR JUST YOU KNOW I KNOW ONE OF THE ONE OF THE THINGS I THINK IS REASONABLE OUT OF SOME OF THE COMMENTARY WE'VE HAD AROUND THE SHARED USE AGREEMENT WITH DARO FAROOQ

807
02:36:12.729 --> 02:36:22.906
AROUND THE PLAY GROUND AREA IS THAT IT IS THE LOSS OF GREEN SPACE TO A PUBLIC AND IN THE EAST SIDE OF BLOOMINGTON WHERE WE ALREADY KNOW THAT THERE ARE GAPS IN THAT AVAILABILITY IT

808
02:36:22.906 --> 02:36:34.017
WOULD BE SMART FOR US TO BE THINKING SPECIFICALLY ABOUT HOW TO MAKE SURE WE MAKE MAKE AMENDS FOR THAT NOT IN A BAD WAY BUT TO SAY LIKE HEY, YOU

809
02:36:34.017 --> 02:36:45.161
KNOW THIS IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE WHAT IS NOW AVAILABLE FOR THE PEOPLE IN AND AROUND THAT AREA THAT WE COULD CONTINUE ESPECIALLY SINCE WE ALREADY KNEW THAT THERE WERE SOME ISLANDS OF OF OF MISSING AVAILABILITY FOR

810
02:36:45.161 --> 02:36:56.640
IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD ANYHOW SO THANK YOU APPRECIATE THANK YOU AND BUILDING ON THAT THIS THIS GRAPHIC IS IMPRESSIVE SHOWING THE COVERAGE AND I JUST WANT

811
02:36:56.640 --> 02:37:07.784
TO MAKE SURE I MEAN WE'RE TALKING PLAYGROUNDS PLAY LOTS HERE CORRECT. DOES IT INCLUDE LIKE TRET BATHS? IS THAT CONSIDERED A PLAYGROUND? BUT IT IS OR MAYOR COUNCIL THE

812
02:37:07.784 --> 02:37:20.029
MAP BEFORE YOU IS SHOWING THE HALF MILE RADIUS AROUND PLAYGROUNDS SPECIFICALLY SO OTHER PUBLIC SPACES, OTHER OPEN SPACES THAT THAT'S NOT INCLUDED HERE.

813
02:37:20.029 --> 02:37:30.740
THIS IS SPECIFICALLY PLAYGROUNDS DOES INCLUDE TREAD BAR THE BLOOMINGTON ICE GARDEN OR THE COMMUNITY HEALTH AND WELLNESS CENTER ALL THOSE PUBLIC PUBLIC STRUCTURES PUBLIC FACILITIES THAT FALL

814
02:37:30.740 --> 02:37:42.686
UNDER THE AUSPICES OF OF PARKS ARTS AND RECREATION. SO CORRECT. INTERESTING. OKAY. COUNCILMEMBER NELSON THANK YOU, MAYOR. I HAD ONE QUICK QUESTION ABOUT THIS FOLLOWING UP ON THE

815
02:37:42.686 --> 02:37:55.765
MAYOR'S QUESTION ABOUT BEING PLAYGROUNDS, IS THERE ANY WAY TO DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN CITY OWNED AND SCHOOL OWNED BECAUSE THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT RESTRICTS DEPENDS ON THE HOURS

816
02:37:55.765 --> 02:38:06.543
AND AVAILABILITY OF SCHOOL OWNED PLAYGROUNDS I ANYTIME SCHOOLS IN SESSION OR THEIR BEFORE OR AFTER OR SOME OR

817
02:38:06.543 --> 02:38:19.122
PROGRAMS. >> MAYOR COUNCIL MEMBER NELSON I CAN'T CLARIFY IF THIS MAP INCLUDES SCHOOL PLAYGROUNDS OR NOT BUT YES THERE IS A WAY AND WE HAVE FOR EXAMPLE THE 42

818
02:38:19.122 --> 02:38:30.634
PLAYGROUNDS I TALKED ABOUT OUR CITY OWNED PLAYGROUNDS. WE HAVE THEM IDENTIFIED AS BOTH AND I THINK HOW WE CONSIDER COVERAGE AND ACCESS LATER ON WILL COME TO BEAR IN THE DISCUSSION.

819
02:38:30.634 --> 02:38:39.376
>> GREAT. THANK YOU. AND THEN JUST EXPANDING BEYOND PLAYGROUNDS A LITTLE BIT, JUST A GENERAL COMMENT JUST FOR FEEDBACK IS THERE SEEMS TO BE

820
02:38:39.376 --> 02:38:51.654
A PERCEPTION THAT THAT HAS COME ABOUT BECAUSE IF SOMETHING ISN'T MAINTAINED THEN IT FALLS INTO A STATE OF DISREPAIR SUCH THAT IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND

821
02:38:51.654 --> 02:39:01.898
BECAUSE THAT MAYBE MOVES TO A DIFFERENT FUND A CAPITAL VERSUS A MAINTENANCE FUND IT TAKES LONGER. AND SO THERE'S A IT TAKES

822
02:39:01.898 --> 02:39:13.676
LONGER TO FIX THE WORST CONDITION THING. SO IT SEEMS LIKE YOU'RE TRYING TO FIX THAT BECAUSE I KNOW I RUN INTO THIS IN A COUPLE OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS AROUND ME THAT I THINK ONE OF THEM WAS SUPPOSED TO BE

823
02:39:13.676 --> 02:39:26.723
RESURFACED AND THIS WAS LIKE TENNIS BASKETBALL COURTS RESURFACED ABOUT 5 OR 6 YEARS AGO AND NOW IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND SO IT'S DELAYED.

824
02:39:26.723 --> 02:39:35.498
AND THE REASON IT WASN'T FIXED AT THAT POINT WAS COVID AND OBVIOUSLY WE MADE DECISIONS AND AND HAD TO REVAMP THINGS. SO IS THAT ACCURATE OR IS THIS NEW PLAN REALLY GOING TO FOCUS

825
02:39:35.498 --> 02:39:49.412
ON THE WORST GETS FIXED FIRST SORT OF THING AND ARE THERE ANY UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES LIKE SOME OF THE ONES THAT COULD HAVE AN OVERLAY AND HAVE

826
02:39:49.412 --> 02:40:01.424
THEIR LIFE EXTENDED MIGHT MISS OUT ON THAT? SORRY FOR THE LENGTHY QUESTION. MAYOR COUNCILMEMBER NELSON THE PRIORITIZATION FRAMEWORK WILL CERTAINLY FACTOR IN CONDITION

827
02:40:01.424 --> 02:40:13.603
IT WILL FACTOR IN OTHER THINGS SUCH AS EQUITY, THE MAINTENANCE VERSUS REPLACEMENT ARM MAINTENANCE BUDGET FUNDS, THE RESURFACING ONCE

828
02:40:13.603 --> 02:40:21.344
PLAYGROUND OUR COURTS FALL INTO THE REPLACEMENT SCHEDULE THEN THAT'S A CAPITAL

829
02:40:21.344 --> 02:40:36.593
IMPROVEMENT THAT ISN'T FUNDED AT THE BEGINNING BEFORE AND IS THANK YOU FOR JUST BEING CONCISE ABOUT THAT AND IT'S SORT OF A NOT NOT ON YOUR SIDE AN UNSATISFACTORY ANSWER THAT

830
02:40:36.593 --> 02:40:43.466
BECAUSE IT GOT WORSE NOW IT'S GOING TO TAKE LONGER TO GET FIXED. COUNCILMEMBER LIMIT THANK YOU

831
02:40:43.466 --> 02:40:57.514
MAYOR SO WHEN WE LOOK AT ACCESS ONE ONE QUESTION I KIND OF HAVE WHEN I LOOK AT THIS THIS WHOLE PIECE HERE IS YOU KNOW, WHEN WE HAVE THESE DIFFERENT KIND OF CIRCULAR

832
02:40:57.514 --> 02:41:09.926
THINGS IS THERE ANY CONCEPTUAL IDEA IN TERMS OF SAFETY YOU KNOW, FOR FROM A YOUNGER KID TRYING TO GET FROM ONE PLAYGROUND TO ANOTHER PLAYGROUND AND WHEN WE THINK ABOUT ACCESS SO THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS I'M KIND

833
02:41:09.926 --> 02:41:20.670
OF THINKING ABOUT AND WHEN WE THINK ABOUT THIS EQUITY AND GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION IS REALLY YOU KNOW, HOW CAN A KID OR HOW CAN A FAMILY GET TO THESE INDIVIDUAL YOU KNOW, IS

834
02:41:20.670 --> 02:41:33.216
THERE A YOU KNOW, LIKE 86TH STREET I THINK ABOUT WHEN I GREW UP ON LIKE 84TH FIFTH YOU KNOW FOR WAS MY MY SPOT TO KIND OF GO TO BUT EVEN YOU KNOW, EVEN 84TH IS NOT REALLY ALL THAT SAFE DEPENDING WHAT

835
02:41:33.216 --> 02:41:44.694
YOUR AGE IS TO CROSS OVER THAT. AND SO THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I KIND OF THINK ABOUT IN TERMS OF EXPERIENCE. SO WHILE WE MAY HAVE A LOT OF THESE CIRCLES HERE, ESPECIALLY ON THE EAST SIDE, THERE'S A LOT MORE THERE'S A

836
02:41:44.694 --> 02:41:54.871
LOT MORE THERE'S LARGER ROADS THAT JUST MAKE IT MORE DIFFICULT T KIND OF GET ACROSS AND SO, YOU KNOW, KIDS KIND OF LOCKED INTO KIND OF WHERE THEY'RE AT. I MEAN I KNOW OUR OUR MAJOR PLACE WAS PLAYING RIGHT ON

837
02:41:54.871 --> 02:42:07.784
THAT ROAD WHICH IS PROBABLY PROBABLY WORSE BUT SO THAT'S KIND OF ONE THING WHEN I LOOK AT THE WHOLE ACCESS PIECE OF THIS AND AS WE LOOK THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE PLAN, HOW DO WE CREATE, YOU KNOW,

838
02:42:07.784 --> 02:42:18.962
ACCESS FOR FOUR DIFFERENT TYPES OF PEOPLE ACROSS OUR COMMUNITY TO BE ABLE TO YOU KNOW, THOSE FOLKS WHO DON'T HAVE MOBILITY, THOSE WHO ARE IN WHEELCHAIRS, THOSE WHO YOU KNOW, WHAT TYPES

839
02:42:18.962 --> 02:42:30.373
OF EXPERIENCES ARE WE CREATING FOR THOSE AND WE TALK ABOUT TRYING TO BE A WELCOMING COMMUNITY. I THINK IT'S INTERESTING YOU KNOW, WE'RE WE'RE KIND OF IN JUNETEENTH IN A WEEK MAYOR AND

840
02:42:30.373 --> 02:42:41.685
WE HAVE 42, YOU KNOW, PARKS YOU KNOW, KIND OF YOU KNOW JACKIE ROBINSON I'M A BIG BASEBALL FAN SO I COULDN'T I COULDN'T MISS THAT 42 RIGHT. IT'S I JUST KIND OF JUST SAW

841
02:42:41.685 --> 02:42:52.195
THAT FOR IT. THAT'S INTERESTING THAT IT'S OUT THERE. THE LAST THING THAT I KIND OF HAVE FOR THERE'S LOTS OF QUESTIONS I HAVE BUT I CERTAINLY CAN SEND THEM OFF TO YOU BUT FOR SOME REASON I JUST

842
02:42:52.195 --> 02:43:03.640
HAD THIS IMAGINATION THAT THE LAST TIME WE WENT THROUGH DOING DOING THESE PARKS THAT WE DID IT ALL IN ONE BIG UNIT AND PAID FOR IT AND IT FELT LIKE IT WAS JUST YOU KNOW IT WAS JUST LIKE LAST YEAR BUT MAYBE I'VE BEEN ON LONG ENOUGH

843
02:43:03.640 --> 02:43:15.318
TO WHERE AM I MY MISREMEMBERING THIS OR. >> MAYOR COUNCILMEMBER LOWMAN THE PARK SYSTEM MASTER PLAN IS A HIGH LEVEL GUIDING DOCUMENT

844
02:43:15.318 --> 02:43:26.796
NOT A PLAN FOR INDIVIDUAL PARKS. ONE OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WE IMPLEMENTED FROM THE PLAN WAS NINE PARK CONCEPT PLANS WHERE THE BUILDING

845
02:43:26.796 --> 02:43:39.376
REPLACEMENT WOULD GO. BRYANT PARK WAS ONE OF THOSE THAT WE TOOK TO COMPLETION. THE THIS STUDY WILL GO INTO GREATER DETAIL ON HOW TO

846
02:43:39.376 --> 02:43:51.721
PRIORITIZE PLAYGROUNDS, COURTS AND ATHLETIC FIELDS WHICH IS KIND OF A NEXT LEVEL OF DETAIL THAT WE DIDN'T DO IN WOULD TYPICALLY BE INCLUDED IN A TEN

847
02:43:51.721 --> 02:44:02.898
YEAR PLAN OR I WON'T SEE IF I CAN MAKE A COMMENT. I REALLY LIKE THE IDEA I DON'T WANT WE DID A NUMBER OF YEARS BACK BUT YOU KNOW WE KIND OF PUT THOSE THINGS TOGETHER AND PAID FOR THOSE THOSE THOSE PLAYGROUNDS AND I DON'T WANT

848
02:44:02.898 --> 02:44:14.944
TO DO IT ALL AT ONE TIME. OF COURSE I'D LIKE TO PAY FOR IT ALL AT ONE TIME. IT MAY BE IMPLEMENTED FIVE YEARS YOU KNOW, FIVE YEARS LATER, FIVE YEAR BUT PAY FOR ALL AT ONE TIME SO THAT WE GET THAT SAVINGS YOU KNOW FROM

849
02:44:14.944 --> 02:44:26.422
INFLATION OF AND IT KIND OF HELPS US OVER TIME TO KIND OF ROLL THAT OUT. I LOVE THAT WE DID THAT HOW MUCH MONEY WE SAVED I REMEMBER DOING THAT AND I'D LOVE TO SEE US DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT WITH THE PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT AND MAYBE SOME OF THE OTHER ITEMS.

850
02:44:26.422 --> 02:44:37.200
I DON'T KNOW. WE CAN DO EVERYTHING LIKE THAT, YOU KNOW? BUT I THINK IT'D BE INTERESTING TO KIND OF IMPLEMENT THAT KIND OF THINKING INTO THIS PLAN. SO THAT'S ALL. THANKS, MARE. THANK YOU.

851
02:44:37.200 --> 02:44:47.844
I THINK THERE WAS MORE THAN A DECADE AGO COUNCIL MEMBER I HAVE YEAH THAT WAS MORE THAN A DECADE AGO JUST YESTERDAY. YEAH THEY HAVE YOU KNOW OTHER QUESTIONS.

852
02:44:47.844 --> 02:44:59.622
ALL RIGHT. NO ACTION IS REQUIRED HERE OTHER THAN TO SAY THANK YOU AND THANK ALL OF THE PARK STAFF FOR THE GREAT WORK THAT YOU FOLKS ARE DOING AND THANKS FOR YOUR FORWARD THINKING AND

853
02:44:59.622 --> 02:45:10.400
FOR LOOKING ON ALL OF THIS BECAUSE WE KNOW HOW BLOOM TOLKIEN'S LOVE THEIR PARKS SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK YOU PUT INTO IT. >> THANKS. THANK YOU MAYOR. THANK YOU. COUNCIL COUNCILMEMBER CARTER

854
02:45:10.400 --> 02:45:23.146
THANK YOU MAYOR. SO I HATE TO DO THIS BECAUSE I KNOW WE HAVE TWO MORE ITEMS AND WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME BUT I HAVE BEEN SITTING HERE THINKING ABOUT THE PARKING FLY IN THE PARKING GO CONVERSATION

855
02:45:23.146 --> 02:45:34.190
AND I THINK LIKE KIND OF LIKE IN THE HEAT OF THE MOMENT I DIDN'T REALLY FEEL LIKE I HAD ENOUGH TIME TO REALLY THINK ABOUT THE DECISION BEING MADE . AND SO AS I SAT HERE AND I HAVEN'T THINKING ABOUT IT, I

856
02:45:34.190 --> 02:45:47.237
HAVE DECIDED TO I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO RECONSIDER THE POSTPONEMENT TO JUNE 29TH, 2026 OF THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS FOR ITEMS 4.3 AND 4.4

857
02:45:47.237 --> 02:45:57.647
. SO WE'VE GOT A MOTION IN THE SECOND TO RECONSIDER THE THE POSTPONEMENTS ON THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS FOR ITEMS 4.4 AND 4.5 I THINK I

858
02:45:57.647 --> 02:46:07.790
THINK YOU SAID 4.3 AND 4.4 BUT 4.4 AND 4.5. SO WE'RE CLEAR ON THAT. I WROTE VERY MESSY ON MY AND AND AND JUST FOR CLARIFICATION

859
02:46:07.790 --> 02:46:19.769
BECAUSE YOU DID VOTE IN FAVOR OF IN FAVOR OF THIS, YOU CAN BRING THAT BACK FOR A RECONSIDERATION SO EVERYBODY CLEAR ON THAT MAYOR WHO WAS A SECOND ON THAT. COUNCILMEMBER ROBERTSON YOU SO

860
02:46:19.769 --> 02:46:31.681
WE HAVE BEFORE US A MOTION TO RECONSIDER. WE HAVE TO DO THEM INDIVIDUALLY OR CAN WE DO THEM TOGETHER? >> MAYOR MEMBERS I THINK SO LONG AS EVERYBODY UNDERSTANDS YOU COULD DO THE MOTION TO

861
02:46:31.681 --> 02:46:42.725
RECONSIDER BOTH OF THOSE ITEMS SINCE IT'S EXACTLY SAME ACTION OTHER THAN THE PROPERTIES. BUT THEN WHEN YOU GO TO MAKE IF IT PASSES AND YOU GO TO ACTUALLY REVOTE YOU SHOULD DO

862
02:46:42.725 --> 02:46:54.671
EACH OF THOSE SEPARATELY COPY THEM. >> OKAY, SO WE HAVE A MOTION TO RECONSIDER THE ACTIONS TAKEN REGARDING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AND ITEM 4.4 AND 4.5. ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT COUNCIL

863
02:46:54.671 --> 02:47:04.280
SO WE'RE GOING TO COUNCILMEMBER ON THE QUESTION OR ARE WE GOING TO HAVE DISCUSSION OR NO I'M THAT'S WHAT AN YEAH QUESTIONS COMMENTS YEAH SO I'LL JUST MAKE A COMMENT YEAH NO I THINK

864
02:47:04.280 --> 02:47:15.325
YOU KNOW I'M OF THIS OF THIS THOUGHT TO HOWEVER YOU KNOW ONE OF OUR YOU KNOW ONE OF OUR COLLEAGUES DID DID DID RAISE THE POINT YOU KNOW CAN WE CONSIDER THE SMALL LITTLE

865
02:47:15.325 --> 02:47:27.804
ADDITION TO THIS CONDITIONAL USES AND I THINK IT'S WORTH CONSIDERING THE MERIT OF IT. YOU KNOW I I'M NOT IN FAVOR OF THAT BUT I'M WILLING TO CONSIDER THE MERITS OF IT AND I THINK IT'S I THINK IT'S WORTH CONSIDERING THE MERITS

866
02:47:27.804 --> 02:47:40.883
OF IT ESPECIALLY SINCE I THINK PAST COUNCILS HAVE HAD SERIOUS CONCERNS ABOUT THIS AND I THINK HE'S REPRESENTING YOU KNOW, COUNCILMEMBER NELSON'S IS REPRESENTING THAT POINT OF VIEW IN THAT PERSPECTIVE

867
02:47:40.883 --> 02:47:52.362
AND I THINK IT'S WORTH CONSIDERING IT, YOU KNOW, BUT YOU KNOW, CERTAINLY I DIDN'T THINK I WOULD BE YOU KNOW, WHEN WE GET TO THAT POINT B BE SUPPORTING IT BUT YOU KNOW, I'M WORTH LISTENING TO IT AND

868
02:47:52.362 --> 02:48:03.439
AND CONSIDERING THE IDEA I UNDERSTAND THAT THAT CERTAINLY WE DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE THAT THAT FRICTION KIND OF COMING INTO THIS. BUT I DO THINK IT'S IT'S IT'S WORTH CONSIDERING WHAT

869
02:48:03.439 --> 02:48:15.684
COUNCILMEMBER NELSON'S BRINGING FORWARD YOU KNOW IT'S TEN YEARS MAYBE SOMETHING MAY NOT HAVE FRUITION. SO I THINK IT'S WORTH CONSIDERING I MEAN I'M NOT I'M NOT GOING TO HANG MY HAT ON

870
02:48:15.684 --> 02:48:26.129
THIS AND DIE ON THIS HILL. BUT YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT SINCE WE'VE SAID WE MIGHT DO THAT, I THINK WE REALLY OUGHT TO CONSIDER IT SO THANK YOU COUNCIL MEMBER COUNCILMEMBER YOU LAST QUESTION. YEAH, I JUST HAVE A QUESTION.

871
02:48:26.129 --> 02:48:37.473
ARE WE RECONSIDERING THE ADDITION TO OR JUST THE TAX ADDITION TO IT OR JUST RECONSIDERING THE VOTE ON ON

872
02:48:37.473 --> 02:48:50.019
MOVING IT OVER TO THE NEXT MEETING? THE RECONSIDERATION IS FOR IT TO TABLE IT UNTIL NEXT MEETING WHICH BY AND THROUGH MY UNDERSTANDING IS THEN WE WOULD AS WE WOULD HAVE OUR STAFF TO

873
02:48:50.019 --> 02:49:01.096
TO INVESTIGATE AND COME BACK WITH AN ANSWER REGARDING THE TAXES. YES THAT'S WHAT WE DO IN THIS IF WE VOTE AGAIN WE WILL BE VOTING TO NOT POSTPONE IT OR TO ELIMINATE THE TAX WE WOULD

874
02:49:01.096 --> 02:49:12.775
MOVE IT. >> I'M ASSUMING THAT IT WOULD BE TO APPROVE WHAT IS IN FRONT OF US AND WAS IN FRONT OF US TO SORT OF APPROVE THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AS STATED IN THE STAFF REPORTS. >> OKAY.

875
02:49:12.775 --> 02:49:23.720
THANK YOU. MAY REMEMBER AS A POINT OF CLARIFICATION THERE, THIS IS A TWO STEP PROCESS AND SO WE'RE IN THE RECONSIDERATION POINT. IF THE RECONSIDERATION MOTION PASSES THEN WE'RE BACK TO AS

876
02:49:23.720 --> 02:49:35.665
IF THE VOTE NEVER HAPPENED AND THEN I WOULD ADD THAT IF THE COPY DOES ULTIMATELY PASS BY A MAJORITY VOTE WHICH IS WHAT'S REQUIRED, THEN THE LAND USE

877
02:49:35.665 --> 02:49:47.510
CLASSIFICATION OF THE PROPERTY WILL CHANGE ITS NATURE AND THE ASSESSOR HAS INHERENT OBLIGATION TURNS ON HOW THEY STATUTORILY CLASSIFY AND

878
02:49:47.510 --> 02:49:56.953
REVIEW PROPERTY AND SO WE CAN CERTAINLY GIVE YOU MORE INFORMATION BUT I, I SUSPECT BASED ON WHAT I KNOW ABOUT THE ASSESSING OFFICE THAT THAT RE ANALYSIS WILL BE TRIGGERED AS

879
02:49:56.953 --> 02:50:08.897
A RESULT OF A CHANGE IN THE STATUS OF THE PROPERTY. >> THANK YOU FOR THE CLARIFICATION. MISS MAY UNDERSTAND SO WE HAVE A MOTION TO RECONSIDER AND WE HAD A SECOND ANY FURTHER

880
02:50:08.897 --> 02:50:19.675
QUESTIONS ON THIS COUNCIL AND THIS IS SIMPLY TO RECONSIDER THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS AND ITEM 4.4 AND 4.5 NO FURTHER COUNCILMEMBER NELSON

881
02:50:19.675 --> 02:50:30.920
SO WOULDN'T TECHNICALLY WE'D BE RECONSIDERING THE MOTION TO POSTPONE. THAT'S CORRECT. YEAH. AND THEN WE'D VOTE ON THE MOTION TO OPPOSE POSTPONE AGAIN AND THEN IF THAT DOESN'T

882
02:50:30.920 --> 02:50:42.298
PASS THEN WE'D MAKE ANOTHER MOTION. NO I THINK ONCE IT'S BEEN RECONSIDERED THEN I THINK WE IT'S OPEN FOR A MOTION AND WHETHER IT'S A MOTION TO ADOPT

883
02:50:42.298 --> 02:50:53.109
THE RESOLUTION AS STATED HERE OR THE MOTION TO ADOPT TO TO POSTPONE AGAIN I MEAN OKAY ANY

884
02:50:53.109 --> 02:51:04.620

ON THIS AND AGAIN THANK YOU COUNCIL MEMBER NELSON FOR BRINGING UP OBVIOUSLY PERTINENT AND AND APPLICABLE ISSUES BUT THANK YOU.

895
02:52:57.400 --> 02:53:09.445
MOVING ON TO AN IN 5.2 IN OUR AGENDA THIS IS REGARDING A PROPOSAL FOR THE ADORA APARTMENTS DEVELOPMENT KEVIN KANIS FROM OUR PORT AUTHORITY IS HERE. >> GOOD EVENING MR. KINASE THANKS FOR STICKING WITH US.

896
02:53:09.445 --> 02:53:17.486
IS LAYTON? YES. GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL. SO I'M HERE WITH A AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL CALLED THE ADAORA APARTMENTS

897
02:53:17.486 --> 02:53:31.434
ON CITY OWNED PROPERTY. THIS PROPERTY IS AT THE CORNER OF AMERICAN AND 13TH AVENUE SOUTH AND CITY STAFF RECEIVED A DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL FROM THE DEVELOPER JOHNNY OPARA AND

898
02:53:31.434 --> 02:53:43.078
HIS COMPANY G O COMPANIES TO DEVELOP A LOW INCOME HOUSING TAX CREDIT PROJECT AT THIS DEVELOPMENT SITE IN ORDER TO APPLY FOR THE TAX CREDITS. THE CITY NEEDS TO TAKE CERTAIN

899
02:53:43.078 --> 02:53:54.523
ACTIONS BY JULY 9TH IS THAT'S THE DEADLINE FOR THAT APPLICATION. SO STAFF IS HERE TO ASK FOR AUTHORIZATION TO WORK WITH THE DEVELOPER EXCLUSIVELY ON THIS SITE IN ORDER TO ALLOW US TO

900
02:53:54.523 --> 02:54:05.768
DO THAT AND MR. OPERA AND HIS ARCHITECT COS WILSON WHICH IS ALSO THE NEIGHBOR OF THE PROPERTY HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH STAFF THROUGH MULTIPLE ITERATIONS OF THE DEVELOPMENT PROJECT TO ALIGN IT WITH

901
02:54:05.768 --> 02:54:19.915
ZONING REQUIREMENTS. IT'S AT THE POINT WHERE IT WOULD REQUIRE REZONING BUT IT'S THEY'VE MADE SUBSTANTIAL CHANGES TO IT TO ALIGN IT WITH THOSE REQUIREMENTS AND THE

902
02:54:19.915 --> 02:54:29.057
PROPERTIES THEMSELVES. SO THERE ARE 79, 20, 7930 AND 7940 13TH AVENUE SOUTH SO THEY ARE APPROXIMATELY THREE QUARTERS OF AN ACRE CURRENTLY

903
02:54:29.057 --> 02:54:40.770
GUIDED FOR OFFICE ALTHOUGH THEY ARE CLOSE TO HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL IN THE CITY. ORIGINALLY ACQUIRED THESE PROPERTIES IN THE MID-NINETIES AS A RATE OF THE STATE RIGHT

904
02:54:40.770 --> 02:54:51.380
OF WAY ACQUISITION FUND AND STAFF IS RECOMMENDING THAT THAT FUND BE REPAID IN AMOUNT OF $285,570 FOR THOSE

905
02:54:51.380 --> 02:55:00.222
PROPERTIES. ADDITIONALLY STAFF DID HAVE AN APPRAISAL ORDERED A COUPLE OF YEARS BACK OR MAYBE A LITTLE BIT LONGER THAN THAT AND LATE NOVEMBER 2022 THAT APPRAISED THAT THOSE

906
02:55:00.222 --> 02:55:13.202
PROPERTIES AT 695,000 WE DID ASK OUR CITY ASSESSOR TO PROVIDE A LITTLE BIT OF AN UPDATE ON THAT RANGE IS CLOSER TO ABOUT $800,000 NOW ALTHOUGH THAT WOULD NEED TO BE CONFIRMED VIA A SEPARATE

907
02:55:13.202 --> 02:55:24.914
INDEPENDENT APPRAISAL TO GET AN UPDATED PRICE. THE DEVELOPMENT ITSELF AS I MENTIONED IS BY JOE COMPANIES IT IS A TAX CREDIT PROJECTS SO TAX CREDITS ARE VERY

908
02:55:24.914 --> 02:55:37.059
COMPETITIVE AND IN PARTICULAR THIS IS A 9% TAX CREDIT PROJECT IT'S 52 UNITS WITH A MIX OF 30%, 50% AND 60% AM I UNITS AND STAFF IS SUPPORTIVE

909
02:55:37.059 --> 02:55:46.067
IN RECOMMENDING THIS PROJECT BECAUSE OF THOSE DEEPLY AFFORDABLE UNITS. THE DEVELOPER WAS ALSO A FINALIST DURING THE RFP PROCESS FOR 700 AMERICAN AND

910
02:55:46.067 --> 02:55:57.780
IT ALIGNS WITH THE DENSITY ALONG THE AMERICAN BOULEVARD TRANSIT CORRIDOR WITH A D LINE BUS RAPID TRANSIT THAT'S LOCATED THERE AND WITHOUT TAX CREDITS IT WOULD BE

911
02:55:57.780 --> 02:56:10.058
CHALLENGING FOR THE CITY TO HAVE THESE DEEPLY AFFORDABLE UNITS SO WE ARE BEING RESPONSIVE TO A DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL TRYING TO SEEK THOSE FUNDS. I ALSO NOTE THAT THE ARCHITECT, THE GENERAL CONTRACTOR AND THE PROPERTY

912
02:56:10.058 --> 02:56:20.735
MANAGER ARE BLOOMINGTON BASED COMPANIES IN ORDER TO SELL THE PROPERTY OR THE LAND DISPOSITION IN CITY CODE DOES REQUIRE FIVE AFFIRMATIVE VOTES

913
02:56:20.735 --> 02:56:32.581
OF THE CITY COUNCIL IF A SEALED BID PROCESS WAS NOT CONDUCTED. SO IN THIS CASE WE'RE ASKING FOR APPROVAL TO DO EXCLUSIVE NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE DEVELOPER AND IF YOU'RE SUPPORTIVE WE WILL TAKE THOSE

914
02:56:32.581 --> 02:56:43.592
NEXT STEPS. THE PROPOSED SALES PRICE WOULD BE A RIGHT DOWN TO $1. SO WRITING DOWN THE VALUE OF THAT LAND AND THEN THE H RAY WOULD BE ASKED TO APPROVE IN A FUTURE MEETING FUNDING

915
02:56:43.592 --> 02:56:52.901
FOR THE REPAYMENT OF THAT RIGHT AWAY FUND SO IF COUNCIL IS SUPPORTIVE OF THE ACTION TONIGHT THEN WE WOULD GO TO THE H RAY ON THE 23RD FOR THAT ACTION.

916
02:56:52.901 --> 02:57:05.447
I WANTED TO NOTE THAT STAFF DOES REPEATEDLY SHARE A DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY SITES WITH DEVELOPERS DURING CONVERSATIONS INCLUDING THIS ONE THERE WAS A PROPOSED

917
02:57:05.447 --> 02:57:16.292
DEVELOPMENT IN 2022 THAT WAS FOR A LOWER DENSITY USE AND STAFF DID NOT ADVANCE THAT PROJECT AS A RESULT OF THAT LOW DENSITY THE PROJECT IS REQUESTING TWO FORMS

918
02:57:16.292 --> 02:57:26.735
OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ONE IS TAX INCREMENT FINANCING SO THAT WOULD BE AN ESTIMATED $365,000 AND THAT'S AT ITS NET PRESENT VALUE TODAY OR 900,000 APPROXIMATE GROSS OVER THE

919
02:57:26.735 --> 02:57:36.779
PERIOD OF THAT HOUSING TIF DISTRICT. SEPARATELY AS I MENTIONED THERE IS A REQUEST FOR A 285,000 APPROXIMATELY THAT WOULD GO TO THE HRA AND THAT

920
02:57:36.779 --> 02:57:48.390
WOULD LIKELY BE FROM LOCAL AFFORDABLE HOUSING AID FUNDS. I WANT TO NOTATE ON THE SLIDE THERE IS ONE LITTLE SECTION THAT HAS AN ASTERISK SO THERE WAS AN UPDATE TO PROVIDE A

921
02:57:48.390 --> 02:57:59.668
LITTLE BIT MORE CLARITY AFTER THIS WAS PUBLISHED AND WE'LL MAKE SURE TO MAKE THAT UPDATE IN THE PUBLISHED DOCUMENTS AS WELL. SO THE PROPOSED TIMELINE HERE THE DEVELOPER HAS BEEN ENGAGED WITH STAFF ON THEIR

922
02:57:59.668 --> 02:58:11.246
DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL AND MADE SOME UPDATES AND GONE THROUGH A STAFF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE. WE ARE IN THIS MEETING TODAY ASKING FOR DIRECTION IF COUNCIL WOULD LIKE TO DIRECT STAFF TO PURSUE THIS

923
02:58:11.246 --> 02:58:22.758
DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY AND IF THAT IS THE OUTCOME THEN WE WOULD GO TO THE H RAY FOR THAT FUNDING REQUEST AND THEN WE WOULD COME BACK TO CITY COUNCIL LATER THIS MONTH FOR A RESOLUTION TO SUPPORT TAX

924
02:58:22.758 --> 02:58:34.803
INCREMENT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AS WELL AS AUTHORIZING A LETTER OF INTENT TO OBLIGATE THE PROPERTY TO THE DEVELOPER IF THEY OBTAIN THE TAX CREDIT FINANCING THE DEVELOPER WOULD

925
02:58:34.803 --> 02:58:45.714
THEN APPLY FOR THOSE TAX CREDITS IN JULY AND THEN THE OUTCOME OF THAT DECISION WOULD LIKELY HAPPEN TOWARDS THE END OF THIS YEAR OR POSSIBLY LATE OR LATE THIS YEAR OR EARLY NEXT YEAR.

926
02:58:45.714 --> 02:58:57.359
AND THEN AS A CONDITION OF THAT APPROVAL THE CITY WOULD THEN HAVE PUBLIC HEARINGS FOR THE LAND SALE APPROVAL TIFF PLAN APPROVAL AND DEVELOPMENT TITLED PUBLIC HEARINGS.

927
02:58:57.359 --> 02:59:08.604
SO THAT WAS THE ADDITION TO THIS PRESENTATION AND SO THOSE WOULD ALL BE SEPARATE PUBLIC HEARING STEPS THAT WOULD TAKE PLACE AND THEN IF EVERYTHING GOES AS PLANNED THE PROJECT WOULD START CONSTRUCTION

928
02:59:08.604 --> 02:59:18.446
IN THE FALL OF 2027 WITH A 2028 COMPLETION. SO WHY ARE WE ASKING FOR THIS NOW TAX CREDITS ARE EXTREMELY COMPETITIVE ESPECIALLY THESE 9% TAX CREDITS AND THIS

929
02:59:18.446 --> 02:59:30.326
APPLICATION PROCESS IS REALLY A ONCE A YEAR THING. SO EITHER YOU GET IT IN NOW OR YOU KIND OF YOU MISSED THE BOAT SO TO SPEAK. AND SO WE'RE TRYING TO BE RESPONSIVE TO THE OPPORTUNITY THAT EXISTS TODAY.

930
02:59:30.326 --> 02:59:42.338
I'M GOING TO GIVE THE DEVELOPER AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK HERE IN JUST A LITTLE BIT BUT TO SET A HIGH LEVEL JOHNNY OPARA AS THE DEVELOPER WHO WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH HE'S DOING A SIMILAR PROJECT

931
02:59:42.338 --> 02:59:53.081
IN RICH FIELDS ON PENN AND I THINK 64TH IT'S ALSO A TAX CREDIT PROJECT OF A SIMILAR SCALE AND AS I MENTIONED HIS ARCHITECT, HIS GENERAL CONTRACTOR AND THE PROPERTY MANAGEMENT COMPANY ARE ALL

932
02:59:53.081 --> 03:00:04.126
BLOOMINGTON BASED COMPANIES. ADDITIONALLY THE DEVELOPER IS DOING COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT MEETINGS THIS WEEK AND THE NEXT WEEK AND AS PART OF THAT PROCESS HAS STARTED TO DO

933
03:00:04.126 --> 03:00:15.470
DOORKNOCKING WITH RESIDENTS AND SOME OF THE RESIDENTS DID PROVIDE FEEDBACK TO STAFF THAT THEY HAVE SOME CONCERNS ABOUT THIS PROJECT IN PARTICULAR FOR IT IS LIVABILITY CONCERNS THAT

934
03:00:15.470 --> 03:00:26.548
ARE RELATED TO TRAFFIC AND PARKING. SO WHAT A STAFF ASKING FOR OUR COUNCIL APPROVAL TONIGHT IS DIRECTION ON IF YOU'RE AUTHORIZING EXCLUSIVE

935
03:00:26.548 --> 03:00:38.193
NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE DEVELOPER IF YOU ARE SUPPORTIVE OF US TAKING THE NEXT STEPS TO PREPARE A TIFF PLAN IN THE FUTURE WE DON'T NEED TO DO THAT AS PART OF THE APPROVAL PROCESS FOR THE APPLICATION.

936
03:00:38.193 --> 03:00:49.705
BUT IN THE FUTURE WE WOULD IF YOU'RE SUPPORTIVE OF OUR ASK OF THE HRA TO REPAY THE RIGHT OF WAY FUND THOSE ARE REALLY THE QUESTIONS WE'RE ASKING FOR YOU TONIGHT. TONIGHT IS REALLY ABOUT

937
03:00:49.705 --> 03:01:01.116
SETTING DIRECTION FOR STAFF AND IF WE WANT TO BE RESPONSIVE TO THIS OPPORTUNITY AND THEN WE WOULD HAVE ADDITIONAL APPROVAL PROCESSES THAT WOULD HAPPEN ACCORDING TO THAT TIMELINE THAT I OUTLINED

938
03:01:01.116 --> 03:01:10.258
. I WANT TO NOTE WE DID MAKE A SMALL UPDATE TO THE MOTION FROM THE PACKET TO PROVIDE MORE CLARITY AND THAT'S BEFORE YOU AND I WILL GIVE THE DEVELOPER AN OPPORTUNITY HERE TO SPEAK AS WELL BUT WANTED TO

939
03:01:10.258 --> 03:01:19.968
BE RESPONSIVE TO ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE ANY QSTIONS OF MR. CASE COUNCILMEMBER LOGAN IF YOU COULD JUST TALK A

940
03:01:19.968 --> 03:01:32.181
LITTLE BIT ABOUT SOME TIMES BEFORE WE'VE DONE THIS WHERE WE JUST WE DON'T HAVE A COMPETITIVE BIDDING PROCESS AND IF THERE'S A STAFF

941
03:01:32.181 --> 03:01:43.725
CRITERIA ON THAT JUST SO THE PUBLIC UNDERSTANDS THE MAYOR COUNCILMEMBER LOWMAN SO THE CITY CODE CURRENTLY REQUIRES THAT A PUBLIC BID PROCESS HAPPENS SO THAT WOULD

942
03:01:43.725 --> 03:01:55.637
EFFECTIVELY BE AN RFP PROCESS. WE'VE HEARD FROM THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY AS WELL AS FROM COUNCIL THAT WE WANT TO BE RESPONSIVE TO DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES THAT EXIST AND SO WE ARE BRINGING

943
03:01:55.637 --> 03:02:07.316
THIS PROJECT FORWARD TO BE RESPONSIVE TO THAT UNDERSTANDING THAT DEVELOPMENT IS ALL ABOUT TIMING AND OPPORTUNITIES THAT EXIST AND THIS IS A POTENTIAL OPPORTUNITY TO SECURE FINANCING FOR THE PROJECT THAT

944
03:02:07.316 --> 03:02:17.259
WITHOUT THAT PROBABLY WOULD NOT RESULT IN THESE AFFORDABLE UNITS. COUNCILMEMBER DALLESSANDRO AND I'M JUST I'M TRYING TO DO THE

945
03:02:17.259 --> 03:02:26.901
MATH HERE BUT IT'S NOT JUST IT'S NOT JUST THE TAX CREDITS. DO I HAVE IT RIGHT? YOU WERE AND YOU'RE NOT JUST ASKING US TO DO TIFF.

946
03:02:26.901 --> 03:02:39.314
YOU'RE ALSO ASKING US TO GIVE AWAY A PROPERTY WORTH ABOUT $600,000 TO THEM FOR A DOLLAR. MAYOR COUNCILMEMBER DALLESSANDRO THAT IS ACCURATE. SO THE REQUEST BEFORE YOU IS

947
03:02:39.314 --> 03:02:51.292
FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FROM THE TAX INCREMENT FINANCING AS WELL AS THAT RIGHT DOWN. AND SO THE 285,000 THAT'S THAT'S THE APPROXIMATE VALUE THAT'S TO REPAY THAT STATE RIGHT OF WAY FUND THE

948
03:02:51.292 --> 03:02:59.001
ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE PROPERTY IS 800,000. SO THERE WOULD BE AN ADDITIONAL WRITE DOWN ON TOP OF THAT TO 85. >> SO YOU ARE CORRECT. YEAH.

949
03:02:59.001 --> 03:03:13.749
SO SO I DON'T KNOW I GUESS I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHY WE WOULD I MEAN I, I DON'T I DON'T USUALLY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH TIFF. I UNDERSTAND THE WAY TIFF

950
03:03:13.749 --> 03:03:24.760
WORKS AND TO ME THAT'S THAT'S JUST LIKE, YOU KNOW, BUYING INTO MONEY THAT'S COMING BACK TO US. THIS IS NOT MONEY THAT'S GOING TO COME BACK TO US. SO SO WE ARE ASKING WE ARE AND IT IS I MEAN I DON'T KNOW WHAT

951
03:03:24.760 --> 03:03:32.734
ELSE COULD GO THERE BUT CONSIDERING IT'S CURRENTLY AVAILABLE, IT ALSO YOU KNOW, IT'S A LOT MORE I MEAN YOU'RE

952
03:03:32.734 --> 03:03:45.981
ASKING THE HRA YOU'RE TAKING LARGER FUND SO IN OTHER WORDS, THERE'S $1 MILLION HERE LIKE $900,000. THERE'S A $600,000 IN IN IN IN

953
03:03:45.981 --> 03:03:56.824
VALUE IN THE PROPERTY THAT WE WANT TO GIVE TO THEM AND IN ADDITION TO THAT WE WANT TO GO TO THE HRA AND SAY HEY, TAKE $285,000 AT A LARGER AND GIVE THAT TO THEM TOO. AND I DON'T KNOW LIKE THAT

954
03:03:56.824 --> 03:04:06.335
FEELS LIKE HEAVY THAT FEELS LIKE A LOT OF MONEY AND I FOR A PROJECT THAT IS ALSO GOING TO NEED TIFF AND ALSO GOING TO NEED A 9% TAX CREDIT FROM THE STATE.

955
03:04:06.335 --> 03:04:17.913
I GUESS I DON'T KNOW TAX CREDITS WORK SO I DON'T KNOW. I NEED A LITTLE HELP FEELING GOOD ABOUT THIS ONE SO ANYTHING YOU CAN OFFER ME BUT THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY AND IT'S

956
03:04:17.913 --> 03:04:29.257
NOT SOMETHING IT'S NOT IT'S NOT TYPICAL OF ONES WE'VE I DON'T KNOW THAT I'VE SEEN ONE LIKE THIS IN A YEAR OR TWO AND THE SAME THING NO WE DIDN'T DO THAT.

957
03:04:29.257 --> 03:04:39.301
WE DIDN'T GIVE AWAY THE LAND FOR $600,000. WE DID NOT DO THAT. >> IS COUNCIL ANY OTHER. THANK YOU COUNCILMEMBER DALLAS I'M LIKE I'M JUST AND I'M LOOKING AT MR. HOPPER HERE

958
03:04:39.301 --> 03:04:48.110
SHORTLY. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR MR. CASE. WHY DON'T WE BRING MR. OPERA UP?

959
03:04:48.110 --> 03:05:07.696
OH, OKAY . GOOD EVENING, MR.. GOOD EVENING. IT'S BEEN A WHILE. IT HAS BEEN COUNCILMEMBERS. MAYOR. WELL, THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY.

960
03:05:07.696 --> 03:05:17.839
MY COMPLIMENTS TO KEVIN AND TO CAME IN TO OUR CITY STAFF. WE WERE JUST EXCITED ABOUT THIS PROJECT. AS KEVIN MENTIONED, WE WERE A FINALIST SEVEN 700 AMERICAN

961
03:05:17.839 --> 03:05:29.484
BOULEVARD A FEW YEARS AGO. WE CAME IN SECOND BUT YOU KNOW I'VE ALWAYS HAD ASPIRATIONS ABOUT PARTNERING WITH THE CITY OF BLOOMINGTON. I WORKED FOR THE MALL

962
03:05:29.484 --> 03:05:40.929
OF AMERICA ALMOST 25 YEARS AGO BUSING FROM THE MALL TO OXFORD UNIVERSITY. SO BLOOMINGTON HAS A SPECIAL PLACE IN MY HEART BUT WE STARTED THIS JOURNEY BACK

963
03:05:40.929 --> 03:05:51.807
IN 2018 AS FAR AS STEEL COMPANIES WE ARE A REAL ESTATE FIRM BASED IN SAINT PAUL AND OUR EMPHASIS OUR FOCUS IS TO DELIVER HIGH QUALITY AFFORDABLE HOUSING WORKFORCE.

964
03:05:51.807 --> 03:06:03.251
AT THE END OF THE DAY OUR JOB IS TO HELP CHANGE THE NARRATIVE IN TERMS OF WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO COST THE CUSTOMER. WHAT MOMENTS ARE COMMENTS EARLIER THE EXPERIENCES OF OUR RESIDENTS RIGHT. WE HAVE ASSETS THAT WE

965
03:06:03.251 --> 03:06:14.062
DELIVERED IN ST PAUL THE HOLLOWS ASSETS AND BROOKLYN CENTER WINGS OF COMMONS AND OF COURSE WE'RE UNDER CONSTRUCTION RIGHT NOW WITH THE CITY WE FEEL CALLED PENN

966
03:06:14.062 --> 03:06:27.642
STATION ON 65TH AND PENN SO WE DELIVERED 158 UNITS SO FAR SINCE 2021 WE HAVE WORKED WITH US BANK NONPROFIT LENDERS HERE IN THE COMMUNITY BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY WE'VE LISTENED TO

967
03:06:27.642 --> 03:06:38.820
THE COMMUNITY AND I BELIEVE THE ADAORA IS DOING JUST THAT . I THINK THAT THE ADAORA IS DOING SOMETHING WHERE WE CAN DELIVER NOT ONLY ONES AND TWOS BUT ALSO THREES AND FOURS

968
03:06:38.820 --> 03:06:47.495
WHICH ARE VERY LIMITED IN TERMS OF FAMILIES THAT ARE GROWING. I'M AN IMMIGRANT. I CAME TO THIS COUNTRY WHEN I WAS VERY YOUNG SO I KNOW THAT FAMILIES THAT ARE LOOKING FOR

969
03:06:47.495 --> 03:07:01.242
A PLACE TO LIVE OR 5 OR 6 IT'S REALLY HARD IN A ONE BEDROOM AND TWO BEDROOM, RIGHT? SO WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO DELIVER SOMETHING THAT IS STILL HIGH QUALITY A WASHER AND DRYER IN EVERY UNIT BALCONIES UNDERGROUND PARKING

970
03:07:01.242 --> 03:07:11.619
GRANITE COUNTERTOPS, SOLID CORE DOORS. WE HAVE AN EXPECTATION IF WE CAN'T LIVE THERE WE WANT TO BE A PART OF IT AND CASPERSON IS RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET A BLOOMINGTON BASED COUPLE.

971
03:07:11.619 --> 03:07:21.697
WE'RE AO WORK WITH CASPERSON AND ONE OF THE LARGEST REDEVELOPMENTS IN THE STATE OF MINNESOTA CALLED THE HEIGHTS RIGHT. WHICH SHERMAN ASSOCIATES. SO OUR EXPERIENCE IN TERMS OF UNDERSTANDING WHAT THIS PROJECT COULD MEAN TO THIS

972
03:07:21.697 --> 03:07:33.007
COMMUNITY IS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO US. WE'RE MAKING SURE THAT THEY UNDERSTAND THAT WE DON'T LIVE IN A COMMUNITY BUT WE WANT TO UNDERSTAND THE COMMUNITY SO WE ARE GOING TO PARTAKE IN TWO MEETINGS WITH THE COMMUNITY TO

973
03:07:33.007 --> 03:07:44.319
UNDERSTAND IS THIS SOMETHING THAT WE CAN WORK TOGETHER ON AND FIND SOME COMMON GROUND? WE'VE DONE THAT WITH PENN STATION AND RICHFIELD WHERE THERE'S NOT A NEARBY PARK SO

974
03:07:44.319 --> 03:07:55.464
WE DID WHAT IS CALLED AN INDOOR PARK SO WE'RE ACTUALLY BUILDING A PARK INSIDE OF THE ACTUAL APARTMENT SO IT EVEN COMES FROM PARKING OR TRAFFIC.

975
03:07:55.464 --> 03:08:06.475
THERE WASN'T A TRAFFIC STUDY REQUIRED AT LEAST AT THIS POINT BUT WE'D BE OPEN TO THAT CONVERSATION AT THE END OF THE DAY WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WANT TO LISTEN FIRST.

976
03:08:06.475 --> 03:08:17.886
RIGHT AND RESPOND NOT ONLY TO THIS COUNCIL BUT ALSO MORE IMPORTANT TO THE COMMUNITY. WE UNDERSTAND THAT SOME SINGLE FAMILY HOMEOWNERS THAT LIVE IN A COMMUNITY BUT ALSO SOUTH THERE ARE SOME OLDER NEWER

977
03:08:17.886 --> 03:08:29.731
PROPERTIES THAT MAY NOT HAVE THE SAME CORE STANDARDS AND TECHNOLOGY THAT WE WOULD BE INPUTTING INTO THIS PROJECT. THIS IS AN INVESTOR OF ALMOST $30 MILLION AND WE'RE NOT EVEN TALKING WITH THE PRE-DEVELOPMENT.

978
03:08:29.731 --> 03:08:40.375
SO YES, TO YOUR POINT, COUNCILMEMBER DALLESSANDRO, THANK YOU SO MUCH AND THANK YOU. AND THE MAYOR SAID THE DOOR PERFECTLY WAS IS FANTASTIC.

979
03:08:40.375 --> 03:08:53.321
SO BUT I WILL TELL YOU THAT HOW THE PROCESS WORKS REALLY IT'S REALLY FINANCIAL READINESS WITH THE APPLICATION WITH MINNESOTA HOUSING. SO WHEN WE'RE ASKING THE CITY

980
03:08:53.321 --> 03:09:05.233
TO GIVE US THE LAND FOR A DOLLAR THAT JUST SHOWS TO MINNESOTA HOUSING IN TERMS THE STRENGTH OF THAT PARTNERSHIP IS FOR US. OKAY SO NOT ONLY IS HE OR JILL

981
03:09:05.233 --> 03:09:16.945
COMPANIES APPLYING FOR TAX CREDITS BUT THEY HAVE A TRUE PARTNER IN THE CITY OF BLOOMINGTON. SO I UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERNS. WE'VE DONE THIS WITH THE CITY OF RICHFIELD. WE'VE DONE THIS WITH THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER CITYF ST

982
03:09:16.945 --> 03:09:25.553
PAUL SINCE THERE WERE FEDERAL FUNDS THAT WERE USED TO PURCHASE THAT LAND. WE ACTUALLY HAD TO BUY THE LAND. SO THIS IS REALLY MORE SO PART OF THE APPLICATION PROCESS

983
03:09:25.553 --> 03:09:37.632
IN TERMS OF UNDERSTANDING THAT WE WOULD NEED TO EFFECTIVELY GET SOME KIND OF FINANCIAL COMMITMENTS FROM THE CITY SO WE CAN INCREASE OUR COMPETITIVENESS FROM A SCORING STANDPOINT.

984
03:09:37.632 --> 03:09:45.407
SO I DO UNDERSTAND THE CONCERN WITH THAT AND IF I WERE IN YOUR POSITION I WOULD ASK MORE QUESTIONS TOO. BUT I THINK LASTLY WE HAVE HEARD SOME CONCERNS FROM THE

985
03:09:45.407 --> 03:09:59.254
COMMUNITY IN TERMS OF PARKING IN TERMS OF QUALITY, YOU KNOW, AS FAR AS SEMI-TRUCKS PARKING ALONG 13TH, I WILL TELL YOU

986
03:09:59.254 --> 03:10:10.599
THAT YOU KNOW, THIS IS A CODE COMPLIANT PROJECT SO THAT'S NUMBER ONE. IT IS CODE COMPLIANT. IF IT WASN'T I WOULDN'T BE STANDING HERE RIGHT NOW. WE'VE WORKED WITH CITY STAFF ON ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS

987
03:10:10.599 --> 03:10:21.943
IN ADDRESSING SOME OF THE CONCERNS THAT, YOU KNOW, PUBLIC WORKS MAY HAVE. BUT I WOULD SAY THIS IS CODE COMPLIANCE. ALL THE PARKING IS ON THE GROUND SO THERE'S NO PARKING

988
03:10:21.943 --> 03:10:33.488
ON THE STREET. YOU KNOW, WE WOULD WORK WITH THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY TO SEE IF THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY IF NEED BE TO GET A AN APPROVAL

989
03:10:33.488 --> 03:10:44.666
FOR US TO BUILD A PARKING THREAT AS IT STANDS RIGHT NOW, THE BUILDING PARKED ITSELF THE SEMI-TRUCKS ALONG 13TH IF YOU'RE GOING TO SEE CONSTRUCTION THAT WOULD SWAY THEM TO NIGHT AND THAT'S AN ENFORCEMENT DEAL.

990
03:10:44.666 --> 03:10:56.211
SO THAT WOULD WORK WITH PUBLIC WORKS THE CITY AS FAR AS YOU KNOW SPEED YOU KNOW WHEN YOU SEE A DEVELOPER THE STATURE IT ACTUALLY SLOWS DOWN TRAFFIC BECAUSE YOU HAVE THIS NEW DEVELOPMENT.

991
03:10:56.211 --> 03:11:06.087
YOU KNOW YOU DON'T WANT TO, GOD FORBID HIT ANYBODY. SO AT THE END OF THE DAY I JUST WANTED TO BE HERE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY JUST REINFORCE THAT I THE CITY OF BLOOMINGTON HAS ALWAYS HAD A SPECIAL PLACE IN MY HEART. I DO THINK THAT THIS IS A

992
03:11:06.087 --> 03:11:17.966
GREAT SITE SAID IT'S BEEN VACANT FOR QUITE SOME TIME SO WE WANT TO INVEST $30 MILLION IN THIS PROJECT. BUT ALSO TO JUST REAL QUICKLY IF FOR ANY REASON GOD FORBID WE DO NOT GET THE TAX CREDITS ,YOU KNOW, IN THIS

993
03:11:17.966 --> 03:11:30.111
APPLICATION PROCESS THEN THAT WOULD WARRANTS, YOU KNOW, THE FOLLOWING YEAR. SO THIS IS REALLY A WORK IN PROGRESS CONTINUING WORKING WITH THE COMMUNITY, WORKING WITH CITY STAFF AND SO FORTH. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR. OBAMA AND I ASK

994
03:11:30.111 --> 03:11:40.322
FOR QUESTIONS IN A MINUTE. COUNCIL SO WHAT I WILL SAY I APPRECIATE YOUR OUTREACH TO THE COMMUNITY AND THE WORK THAT YOU'RE DOING THERE AND I THINK YOU'VE GOT SOME WORK TO DO BASED ON SOME OF THE COMMENTS THAT WE HEARD AT OUR

995
03:11:40.322 --> 03:11:51.666
LISTENING SESSION TONIGHT AND I MIGHT ADVICE WOULD BE TO CONTINUE TALKING TO THEM AND LAYING OUT YOUR VISION AND GOING BACK AND FORTH WITH THEM IN TERMS OF THEIR CONCERNS AND YOUR VISION FOR WHAT YOU HOPE

996
03:11:51.666 --> 03:12:03.078
TO ACCOMPLISH IF WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS. AND SO I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT WE WE HAD A GOOD SIZED GROUP AT OUR LISTENING SESSION THAT WERE WANTING TO TALK ABOUT THIS. SO THANK YOU, MAYOR

997
03:12:03.078 --> 03:12:12.821
COUNCILMEMBER RIVAS AND CAST MEMBER NELSON. WE HAVE TWO QUICK QUESTIONS FOR YOU. IT IS MY KNOWLEDGE SO YOU DEDICATE YOURSELF TO BUILD AFFORDABLE HOUSING OR MAINLY

998
03:12:12.821 --> 03:12:24.699
RIGHT? YES, I MAYOR COUNCILMEMBER RIVAS, WE SPECIALIZE IN DELIVERING HIGH QUALITY HOUSING THAT JUST SO HAPPENS TO BE AFFORDABLE. SO IF YOU DON'T MIND MY IS TWO

999
03:12:24.699 --> 03:12:36.310
DOOR QUESTION BUT WHAT MOTIVATES YOU TO DO THAT? GREAT QUESTION. SO I GREW UP IN AFFORDABLE HOUSING, RIGHT? SO WE STARTED WE STARTED THIS COMPANY BECAUSE MY FATHER HE WAS ON SSI, HE LIVED

1000
03:12:36.310 --> 03:12:48.156
IN AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND WHEN HE PASSED AWAY IN 2018 I MADE A COMMITMENT TO H THAT I WOULD TRY TO IMPROVE THE LIVES OF FAMILIES AND INDIVIDUALS WHO MAY NOT HAVE ACCESS TO

1001
03:12:48.156 --> 03:12:59.033
HIGH QUALITY HOUSING THAT IS A NONPROFIT PROPERTY. SO THAT'S WHAT REALLY SPURRED THIS WHOLE VISION. >> WELL THAT'S IT. THANK YOU FOR THE EXPLANATION . I JUST WANTED TO LIVE FOR MY FELLOW COUNCIL MEMBERS TO KNOW THAT BECAUSE I MET YOU BEFORE

1002
03:12:59.033 --> 03:13:09.810
AND I VISITED A COUPLE OF YOUR BUILDINGS THROUGH THE NATIONAL LEAGUE OF CITIES AND I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK AT ONE OF THE APARTMENTS AND THIS WILL BE YOUR FIRST PROJECT

1003
03:13:09.810 --> 03:13:21.956
THAT HAS ALL THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING RIGHT? WELL, ALL OF OUR ALL OF OUR BUILDINGS MAYOR CUSTOMARY VOWS ARE EFFECTIVELY ALL AFFORDABLE OR WORKFORCE SO RANGING FROM

1004
03:13:21.956 --> 03:13:34.435
60% IN MIND TO 30%. AM I OKAY SO THAT'S CLEAR THERE. SO WHAT I DO RECALL THOUGH I MIGHT HAVE GOTTEN IT WRONG IT'S BEEN A FEW YEARS. HOWEVER, WHAT I NOTICE IS THAT

1005
03:13:34.435 --> 03:13:44.179
SOME OF THE APARTMENTS WERE PERHAPS 60% AND THAT'S WHEN I LOOKED AT THE FURNITURE ALL THE APPLIANCES WERE THE SAME. I SAID 30% AMY AND IMPRESSED

1006
03:13:44.179 --> 03:13:55.657
ME AND I DON'T RECALL IF I SPOKE TO SOME OF YOU GUYS BUT BUT I ALWAYS WANTED TO BRING YOU TO THE TO THE LIMELIGHT BECAUSE I DID LIKE THAT IDEA

1007
03:13:55.657 --> 03:14:07.602
THAT THE RELUCTANCE OF PEOPLE TO LIVE IN SUCH BUILDINGS IS THE FACT THAT IF YOU GO LOOK AT AN 80 OR 60% OF MY COMPARED TO A 30% IN MY ALL THE APPLIANCES ARE LOW QUALITY AT

1008
03:14:07.602 --> 03:14:18.913
30% AM I THE MATERIALS IN THE BUILDING ARE NOT COMPARABLE TO THE OTHERS. AND WHAT I NOTICE IN THE BUILDINGS THAT I VISITED IS THAT EVERYTHING WAS EXACTLY THE SAME EXACTLY SIZE DIFFER

1009
03:14:18.913 --> 03:14:30.892
BUT YOU KNOW IT'S A GREAT THING TO YOU HAVE COME INTO OUR CITY AND ARE YOU TRYING TO DO SOMETHING YOU KNOW BASED ON WHAT I HAVE LEARNED IN THE PAST ABOUT YOU AND YOUR COMPANY I'LL BE SUPPORTING

1010
03:14:30.892 --> 03:14:41.802
THIS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, SIR. PREMIER NELSON. YEAH. THANK YOU. SO GIVEN THE 30% AM I UNITS AND ALL OF THAT AND I THINK THERE WAS A NOTE IN THERE THAT YOU PROVIDE ADDITIONAL

1011
03:14:41.802 --> 03:14:52.947
SERVICES FOR SOME OF YOUR RESIDENTS. CAN YOU SPEAK TO WHAT THOSE SERVICES MIGHT BE OR HOW THAT OPERATES? YES, MAYOR COUNCILMEMBER NELSON SO WE WORK WITH SIMPSON

1012
03:14:52.947 --> 03:15:02.690
HOUSE AND THERE A NONPROFIT HERE IN THE TWIN CITIES. WE WORK WITH THEM ON WINGS OF COMMONS. WE WORK WITH THEM. WE'RE GOING TO BE WORKING WITH THEM WITH PENN STATION.

1013
03:15:02.690 --> 03:15:16.037
SO EFFECTIVELY JUST TILL THE UNITS WILL BE DEDICATED TO PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES AND PEOPLE WHO DON'T HAVE PERMANENT HOUSING. SO THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM TO EFFECTIVELY GRADUATE

1014
03:15:16.037 --> 03:15:27.115
FROM MAYBE BEING IN THE SHELTER THAT COULD BE VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC ABUSE, THAT COULD BE FOLKS THAT ARE YOU KNOW, THEY'RE PART OF THE VA A RANGE OF DIFFERENT SITUATIONS.

1015
03:15:27.115 --> 03:15:36.256
THE GOAL IS TO INCORPORATE THEM INTO THIS NEW HOUSING THAT IS REALLY DEMONSTRATING TO THEM THAT THEY ARE DESERVING TO LIVE SOMEWHERE

1016
03:15:36.256 --> 03:15:49.671
NICE TO BE SOMEWHERE WHERE COUNCILMEMBER RIVAS IS POINT SO WHERE YOU CAN'T TELL THE DIFFERENCE IN TERMS OF WHAT PEOPLE ARE MAKING AT THE END OF THE DAY THIS IS WHERE MEMORIES ARE CREATED. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE FOLKS

1017
03:15:49.671 --> 03:15:58.313
THAT REGARDLESS OF ONE'S INCOME WHO COULD BE A POLICE OFFICER OR SENIOR OR SOMEONE COMING FROM COORDINATE ENTRY OR SOMEONE COMING FROM A UNIQUE SITUATION THEY ALL HAVE

1018
03:15:58.313 --> 03:16:09.958
THE SAME EXPERIENCES. AND THEN JUST ONE FOLLOW UP QUESTION. THIS IS A CONCERN THAT I HAVE ON A NUMBER OF PROJECTS. I'M NOT QUITE AS CERTAIN I HAVE IT ON YOURS BUT I'M ALWAYS WORRIED ABOUT

1019
03:16:09.958 --> 03:16:21.068
CONCENTRATING LOW INCOME PEOPLE. YOU'VE GOT YOUR PROJECT WHERE THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE FOCUSED ON AND DOING IT IN A HIGH QUALITY WAY. SO I RECOGNIZE THAT YOU GOT TO

1020
03:16:21.068 --> 03:16:31.446
KNOW WHAT PROPERTIES NEARBY I'M NOT EXACTLY SURE OF THE BOUNDARIES BUT I THINK SOMEWHERE IN THAT AREA THE MET COUNCIL IS DEFINED AS AN

1021
03:16:31.446 --> 03:16:43.324
ECONOMIC AREA OF SOMEONE CAN HELP ME. I FORGET THE TERMS OF IT BUT IT'S YEAH IT'S IT'S A SO ADDING MORE HOUSING THAT

1022
03:16:43.324 --> 03:16:55.870
FOCUSES ON LOW INCOME FOLKS HOW DO YOU HELP ME UNDERSTAND HOW THAT'S A POSITIVE THING FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND I THINK YOU'LL DO A GOOD JOB AT

1023
03:16:55.870 --> 03:17:07.615
ANSWERING THIS THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU MAYOR COUNCILMEMBER NELSON I WILL TELL YOU THAT SO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT PUTS TOGETHER WHAT IS CALLED CUZIT'S QUALITATIVE CENSUS

1024
03:17:07.615 --> 03:17:19.627
TRACTS AS YOU ALREADY KNOW SO MEANING THAT 50% OF THE POPULATION LIVING BELOW THE POVERTY LINE THIS IS NOT ONE OF THEM. RIGHT. SO LET ME JUST KIND OF HIGHLIGHT THE RENTS FOR THIS PROPERTY.

1025
03:17:19.627 --> 03:17:30.638
YOU KNOW THE RENTS YOU KNOW WILL RANGE ANYWHERE FOR 30% OF MY UNITS AT YOU KNOW, 1405 UPWARDS TO 1988. RIGHT.

1026
03:17:30.638 --> 03:17:41.516
SO ALMOST $2,000, RIGHT. SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT THOSE RENTS IN COMPARISON TO THE NORMAL PROPERTIES OR COMPARISONS TO SOME MARKET

1027
03:17:41.516 --> 03:17:51.892
RATE PROPERTIES, THEY'RE STILL WITHIN THE SAME REALM, RIGHT? SO THE CONCENTRATION OF POVERTY THIS IS WHERE I GO BACK TO FOR EXAMPLE WE LOOK AT WINGS OF COMMONS. WE HAVE THREE BEDROOMS, WE

1028
03:17:51.892 --> 03:18:03.804
HAVE FOUR BEDROOMS BUT WHEN YOU LOOK AT THEM, WHEN YOU RESIDE IN THEM WE USE THE EXACT SAME MATERIALS THAT YOU WOULD BUILD MARKET RATE. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THAT YOU KNOW IN THE STATE

1029
03:18:03.804 --> 03:18:14.716
OF MINNESOTA ANYTHING THAT IS 60% IN MY IN BELOW IS CONSIDERED LOW INCOME HOUSING. SO THERE'S A THERE'S A NARRATIVE SURROUNDING THE AFFORDABLE HOMES THAT WE'RE TRYING TO GET AWAY FROM BUT EVERYONE IS LIVING IN THESE BUILDINGS. THEY ARE WORKING THEY ARE

1030
03:18:14.716 --> 03:18:25.593
PRODUCING MEMBERS OF SOCIETY. SO I THINK IF WE WERE TO YOU KNOW, THE WORD CONCENTRATION PROBABLY I THINK IN MY

1031
03:18:25.593 --> 03:18:36.703
OPINION, YOU KNOW, GROWING UP IN ST PAUL AND OUR RENT WAS $400 FOR A ONE BEDROOM THE COMPARISON TO RIGHT NOW MAYBE THAT CONVERSATION COULD BE MORE WARRANTED THERE BUT RIGHT

1032
03:18:36.703 --> 03:18:49.283
HERE WHEN YOU'RE PAYING ALMOST $2,000 FOR A 6% YOU KNOW, UNIT AND WE'RE LOOKING AT INFLATION, I DON'T SEE THAT AS MORAL CONCENTRATION OF POVERTY. THANK YOU, SIR.

1033
03:18:49.283 --> 03:19:00.328
COUNCIL MEMBER CARTER THANK YOU, MAYOR. THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH US TONIGHT. I ACTUALLY DON'T HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU THOUGH EVERYTHING YOU'VE SAID SOUNDS GREAT AND I APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT YOU'VE LANDED ON

1034
03:19:00.328 --> 03:19:11.139
BLOOMINGTON AS A COMMUNITY THAT YOU WANT TO BUILD IN. BUT I DO HAVE A QUESTION FOR STAFF AND I'M SORRY IF YOU SAID THIS AND THEY MISSED IT BUT HOW LONG HAS THIS PIECE

1035
03:19:11.139 --> 03:19:19.413
OF LAND BEEN VACANT FOR? >> GREAT QUESTION. SO MAYOR AND COUNCILMEMBER CARTER SO THE CITY ACQUIRED THIS PROPERTY IN I BELIEVE IT

1036
03:19:19.413 --> 03:19:31.826
WAS 1994 AND PRIOR TO THAT I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT DATES THERE WAS A SINGLE FAMILY HOMES ON THE PROPERTY AND THEN THERE WAS A DEMOLITION THAT HAPPENED.

1037
03:19:31.826 --> 03:19:42.269
SO THE CITY HAS HAD THESE PROPERTIES THAT HAVE BEEN MARKETED AND VACANT FOR LIKE TWO DECADES AT THIS POINT AND AS I MENTIONED WE'VE HAD NO

1038
03:19:42.269 --> 03:19:55.516
REAL INTEREST. WE WERE WORKING WITH POTENTIAL DEVELOPER OF THE SITE FOR A SIMILAR PROJECT SO THAT WAS THE 30 600 SQUARE FOOT KIND OF MORE OF AN OFFICE PROJECT DUE TO THE SCALE

1039
03:19:55.516 --> 03:20:06.961
OF THAT IT WASN'T BROUGHT FORWARD BY STAFF OR RECOMMENDATIONS OF APPROVAL BUT IN 20 YEARS IT'S BEEN ESSENTIALLY ON THE MARKET AND WE REALLY HAVEN'T HAD A LOT OF INTEREST.

1040
03:20:06.961 --> 03:20:17.938
I CAN'T SPEAK TO 20 YEARS AGO BUT I KNOW NOT OF MY TIME AND YEARS PRIOR THAT THIS PROPERTY WAS MARKETED. WE FREQUENTLY HAVE CONVERSATIONS WITH DEVELOPERS ABOUT MULTIPLE DEVELOPMENT SITES INCLUDING THIS ONE.

1041
03:20:17.938 --> 03:20:28.916
IT IS SOMEWHAT CONSTRAINED IN TERMS OF ITS DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL AND SO THAT LIMITS THE OPTIONS HERE. AND SO MR. O'HARA HAS BEEN WORKING WITH STAFF TO ALIGN A

1042
03:20:28.916 --> 03:20:39.894
PROPOSAL THAT CAN REALLY FIT ON THE SITE GIVEN SOME OF THOSE CONSTRAINTS. OKAY. AWESOME. THANK YOU. WELL, IT IS QUITE THE INVESTMENT ON THE CITY SIDE.

1043
03:20:39.894 --> 03:20:51.772
I DO UNDERSTAND THAT BUT I ALSO YOU KNOW, HEARING THAT THERE WILL BE $30 MILLION INVESTED, I FEEL LIKE THAT'S PROBABLY THAT'S A PRETTY GOOD TRADEOFF ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE AMOUNT OF UNITS THAT WE'RE GETTING.

1044
03:20:51.772 --> 03:21:02.316
AND I DO APPRECIATE THAT THERE ARE THREE AND FOUR BEDROOM UNITS. I KNOW IN MY CONVERSATIONS WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE ADVOCATES IN THIS SPACE OR YOU KNOW, PEOPLE WHO I'VE TALKED TO WHO

1045
03:21:02.316 --> 03:21:11.892
ARE LOOKING FOR AFFORDABLE UNITS THAT ARE 3 OR 4 BEDROOM I MEAN THIS IS A HUGE NEED A HUGE NEED IN OUR COMMUNITY AND I REALLY APPRECIATE THE FACT

1046
03:21:11.892 --> 03:21:23.871
THAT THESE ARE HIGH QUALITY APARTMENTS BUILT WITH MARKET RATE MATERIALS. I JUST YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING THAT I'VE HEARD ABOUT THIS I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE A GREAT

1047
03:21:23.871 --> 03:21:36.417
PROJECT AND SO I'M EXCITED TO SUPPORT IT AND SEE IT MOVE FORWARD. THANK YOU COUNCILMEMBER A COUPLE OF PROCESS QUESTIONS HERE. MR. CAN I BUY IF WE WERE TO

1048
03:21:36.417 --> 03:21:46.860
APPROVE THIS TONIGHT WE BASICALLY ARE SAYING CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG HERE BASICALLY I'M READING THIS MOTION BEING STAFF CONTINUE TO DO THE WORK THAT WE EXPECT THE STAFF TO DO .

1049
03:21:46.860 --> 03:21:58.205
IS THAT CORRECT, MR. MAYOR? THAT'S A PRETTY EFFECTIVE SUMMARY OF WHAT WE'RE ASKING. WHAT I THOUGHT THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT AND SO AND I TALKED TO AGAIN THESE FOLKS THAT WE WERE TALKING TO EARLIER IN THE LISTENING SESSION.

1050
03:21:58.205 --> 03:22:09.217
YES, I MADE IT VERY CLEAR TO THEM THAT THIS WAS WE ARE LITERALLY AT THE STARTING LINE HERE AND THERE WOULD BE A LOT OF WORK TO GO THROUGH MANY PUBLIC INPUT OPPORTUNITIES, MANY PUBLIC FEEDBACK

1051
03:22:09.217 --> 03:22:19.393
OPPORTUNITIES AS WE WORKED OUR WAY THROUGH THIS PROCESS JUST LIKE THERE AREN'T ANY DEVELOPMENT PROCESSES HERE IN THE CITY OF BLOOMINGTON. IS THAT A CORRECT STATEMENT, MR. MAYOR? THAT IS CORRECT.

1052
03:22:19.393 --> 03:22:31.805
THE ONE THING I WILL NOTE IS THE APPLICATION IS VERY COMPETITIVE AND SO THAT IS WHY WE ARE ASKING FOR THESE RESOLUTIONS. IT IS A REQUIREMENT OF THE APPLICATION. SO I, I APPRECIATE ALL THE

1053
03:22:31.805 --> 03:22:42.015
QUESTIONS BECAUSE IT IS A COMMITMENT THAT HAS BEEN MADE AS PART OF THAT PROCESS. BUT AGAIN THIS ISN'T SHOVELS AREN'T IN THE GROUND TOMORROW THERE'S THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR PUBLIC INPUT ON THIS.

1054
03:22:42.015 --> 03:22:52.593
CORRECT? VERY GOOD. COUNCILMEMBER NELSON COUNCILMEMBER LOWMAN COUNCILMEMBER CARTER I THANK YOU, MAYOR. I'LL BE QUICK. I SUPPORT THIS.

1055
03:22:52.593 --> 03:23:03.371
I THINK IT'S A GREAT PROJECT TO THE FINANCIAL CONCERNS THAT HAVE BEEN RAISED. I THINK THOSE ARE LEGITIMATE. IT IS A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT BUT I WOULD POINT OUT THAT IT'S $20,000 A UNIT THAT IS

1056
03:23:03.371 --> 03:23:14.981
ACTUALLY FAIRLY COMPETITIVE TO SOME OF THE OTHER PROJECTS THAT I'VE SEEN THAT WE'VE DONE AND APPROVED TOO ON WHERE WE'RE GETTING 9% AFFORDABLE IN A MARKET RATE AND YOU KNOW SPENDING FRANKLY THROUGH TURF

1057
03:23:14.981 --> 03:23:25.226
MORE THAN THIS BECAUSE IT'S A LARGER BUILDING AND ALL OF THAT AND MUCH HIGHER AMOUNT PER UNIT. SO I THINK ON ON THAT SIDE IT LOOKS LIKE IT MAKES A TON

1058
03:23:25.226 --> 03:23:36.904
OF SENSE AND I JUST REALLY APPRECIATE THE TIME OF THE DEVELOPER TO BE HERE AND ANSWER THE QUESTIONS EXTREMELY WELL. SO I'LL BE SUPPORTIVE OF THIS

1059
03:23:36.904 --> 03:23:47.915
. COUNCILMEMBER LOGAN THANK YOU. I'LL TRY TO RETURN A TENANT TIME HERE. GREAT TO SEE YOU BACK AGAIN. YOU KNOW I THINK THE QUESTION THAT I HAVE IN MY MIND IS

1060
03:23:47.915 --> 03:23:59.259
OKAY, WE'RE YOU KNOW, WE'RE DOING A FIGHT TRYING TO DO A52 VOTE HERE. YOU KNOW, WE'RE PUTTING SIGNIFICANT TAXPAYER MONEY IN THERE. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? MY ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION IS YES. I THINK IT MAKES TOTAL SENSE. YOU ALL 20 YEARS.

1061
03:23:59.259 --> 03:24:10.971
COUNCILMEMBER CARTER TALKED ABOUT THIS THING HAS BEEN BEEN AVAILABLE AND THAT YOU KNOW WE GET FROM THE TAX BASE WHEN THIS THING EVENTUALLY GETS DONE. SO I'M I'M REALLY LOOKING

1062
03:24:10.971 --> 03:24:21.649
FORWARD TO KIND OF MAKING THIS STEP FORWARD AND I THINK YOU'VE BROUGHT FORWARD THE MOST PERTINENT QUESTION I'M CONCERNED ABOUT IS YOU KNOW, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN AND CAN WE MEET THOSE RESIDENTS CONCERNS

1063
03:24:21.649 --> 03:24:31.591
AROUND THAT AREA? AND THAT'S WHAT I'M REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT. WE MAKE SURE WE'RE MEETING THAT CONCERN. BUT YOU KNOW, I MEAN THIS IS THE DIRECTION OUR CITY IS TRYING TO GO AND WE'RE TRYING TO DENSIFY MORE THINGS TOO.

1064
03:24:31.591 --> 03:24:42.102
SO I THINK WE'VE GOT TO THINK ABOUT THAT AS WE'RE KIND OF MOVING FORWARD ON THIS. AND SO I THINK WE WE JUST NEED TO AS A POPULACE GET USED TO THIS IDEA AND I KNOW I GROWING UP IN THAT AREA I WOULDN'T

1065
03:24:42.102 --> 03:24:52.780
WANT TO SEE THAT GO NEXT TO ME AT ALL. SO YOU GOT YOUR WORK CUT OUT FOR YOU AND GOOD LUCK COUNCIL IF THERE'S NOTHING ELSE.

1066
03:24:52.780 --> 03:25:04.624
COUNCILMEMBER CARTER MR. MAYOR SO I WOULD MOVE TO DIRECT STAFF TO ONE PREPARE A RESOLUTION OF SUPPORT FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO PREPARE A LETTER OF INTENT FOR THE DISPOSITION OF THE CITY ON PROPERTIES AND THREE RELEASED

1067
03:25:04.624 --> 03:25:14.434
THE APPRAISAL OF THE PROPERTIES AND FOR RETURN TO CITY COUNCIL ON JUNE 29TH 2026 FOR ACTION ON THE RESOLUTION SECOND MOTION BY COUNCILMEMBER CARTER SECOND BY COUNCILMEMBER

1068
03:25:14.434 --> 03:25:26.914
ROBERTSON TO DIRECT STAFF AS STATED IN THE MOTION REGARDING OUR ITEM 5.2 THE SEATING NO

1069
03:25:26.914 --> 03:25:36.056
FURTHER COUNCIL DISCUSSION ON THIS THERE IS COUNCIL MEMBER I JUST HAVE A REALLY DUMB QUESTION. I MEAN SERIOUSLY WHY WOULD WE PAY FOR AN APPRAISAL IF WE'RE GOING TO WRITE IT DOWN TO A

1070
03:25:36.056 --> 03:25:45.933
DOLLAR WHO CARES? YES MAYOR COUNCILMEMBER NELSON THE APPRAISAL THAT WE HAVE REFERENCED WAS FROM NOVEMBER OF 2022.

1071
03:25:45.933 --> 03:25:57.745
SO AT THIS POINT STAFF HAS NOT ENGAGED AN APPRAISER TO DO AN UPDATED APPRAISAL AND PART OF THAT WAS WHERE WE ARE IN THIS PROCESS AND NOT WANTING TO INCUR ANY

1072
03:25:57.745 --> 03:26:08.656
ADDITIONAL COSTS WE COULD CERTAINLY CONSIDER THAT AS PART OF THE PROCESS. I DON'T KNOW IF THERE ARE ANY LEGAL IMPLICATIONS THERE. I AM SEEING A NO FROM MS. MANDERS RIGHT.

1073
03:26:08.656 --> 03:26:18.866
SO WE'LL TAKE THAT UNDER DIRECTION OR ADVISEMENT. ALL RIGHT. VERY GOOD. OKAY. MAYBE ANY ADDITIONAL

1074
03:26:18.866 --> 03:26:30.811
QUESTIONS, COUNSEL WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND REGARDING THE MOTION YOU SEE ON THE SCREEN IN FRONT OF YOU. NO FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR PLEASE SIGNIFY BY SAYING I. I OPPOSED MOTION CARRIES SEVEN

1075
03:26:30.811 --> 03:26:42.156
ZERO MR. POWER LOOKING FORWARD TO CONTINUING ON THIS JOURNEY WITH YOU SO YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. THANK YOU, COUNSEL WE ARE AT 955.

1076
03:26:42.156 --> 03:26:53.767
I SET THEIR LIMIT AT 1015. MY WATCH IS YELLING AT ME TO STAND UP BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN HERE SO LONG AND WE STILL HAVE ONE MORE THING TO DO SO I'M GOING TO LOOK TO STAFF TO GET US THROUGH THIS AND I AND LOOK

1077
03:26:53.767 --> 03:27:03.510
AT COUNSEL TO GET US THROUGH THIS AS WELL. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. I AM 5.3 IS ARE 20 2728 BUDGET PROCESS UPDATE IS COURTESY. >> GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND

1078
03:27:03.510 --> 03:27:17.024
COUNCIL SO TONIGHT WILL PROVIDE AN UPDATE ON THE 20 2728 BUDGET PROCESS AND THE WORK UNDERWAY TO DEVELOP THE PROPOSED BUDGET. FIRST THE CITY MANAGER WILL REVIEW THE BUDGET OUTLOOK AND

1079
03:27:17.024 --> 03:27:28.168
EXTERNAL PRESSURES AND THEN I'LL GO OVER THE BUDGET CALENDAR COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT EFFORTS. OUR TWO YEAR BUDGET PROCESS PRIORITY BASED BUDGETING AND PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT. AND WITH THAT I'LL TURN IT

1080
03:27:28.168 --> 03:27:38.078
OVER TO CITY MANAGER ZACK WALKER TO BEGIN THE PRESENTATION. THANK YOU, COREY. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL. WE'VE OFFICIALLY GONE SO LONG THAT MY FAMILY CAME HERE

1081
03:27:38.078 --> 03:27:48.622
LOOKING FOR ME SO I'M GOING TO SPEED THINGS UP A LITTLE BIT HERE FOR ALL OF US. SO AS COREY SAID TONIGHT IS NOT ABOUT SETTING THE TAX LEVY.

1082
03:27:48.622 --> 03:27:59.700
IT'S NOT ABOUT MAKING ANY BUDGET DECISIONS. BUT REALLY WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS KICK OFF A CONVERSATION TONIGHT THAT SO OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS ALL OF US ARE OPERATING FROM THE SAME COMMON OPERATING PARADIGM AS WE

1083
03:27:59.700 --> 03:28:10.744
DISCUSS OUR 2027 AND 2028 BUDGET. WE ARE ENTERING THE BUDGET PERIOD. I CAN SAY CONFIDENTLY FROM A POSITION OF STRENGTH BUT AT

1084
03:28:10.744 --> 03:28:22.188
THE SAME TIME RESIDENTS, BUSINESSES AND GOVERNMENTS ARE FACING GROWING FINANCIAL PRESSURES. SO THE GOAL THAT I WOULD LIKE ALL OF US TO WORK TOGETHER ON

1085
03:28:22.188 --> 03:28:33.534
IS STRIKING THAT RIGHT BALANCE BETWEEN MAINTAINING THE EXCELLENT SERVICES THAT DEFINE THE CITY OF BLOOMINGTON BUT ALSO RECOGNIZE THOSE ONGOING AFFORDABILITY CONCERNS.

1086
03:28:33.534 --> 03:28:45.212
SO AS I SAID, WE ARE OPERATING FROM A POSITION OF STRENGTH. THE COMMUNITY IS TELLING US THAT BLOOMINGTON IS DELIVERING RESULTS. AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE SLIDE HERE, OUR MOST RECENT COMMUNITY SURVEY HAS VERY

1087
03:28:45.212 --> 03:28:56.323
STRONG NUMBERS. THESE ARE NUMBERS THAT CERTAINLY VALIDATE THE WORK OF EVERY CITY DEPARTMENT AND ARE INDICATORS THAT CITY SERVICES ARE MAKING A VERY POSITIVE DIFFERENCE IN OUR COMMUNITY.

1088
03:28:56.323 --> 03:29:04.498
AND WE NOT ONLY SEE THAT IN THE SATISFACTION NUMBERS WE GET BUT WE SEE THAT IN THE RESULTS FROM OUR CITY DEPARTMENTS THINGS LIKE CRIME

1089
03:29:04.498 --> 03:29:18.311
HAVING DECLINED BY 10% THE $155 MILLION IN BLOOMINGTON FORWARD PROJECTS THAT WE ARE DELIVERING OUR HOME VALUES CONTINUING TO RISE VERY STRONG FINANCIAL POSITION HERE AT THE

1090
03:29:18.311 --> 03:29:29.623
CITY THAT PUTS US IN RARE ERROR AMONG OUR PEERS NATIONALLY. AND THEN OF COURSE MULTIPLE AWARD WINNING SERVICES ACROSS SEVERAL CITY DEPARTMENTS. THAT IS ALSO DATA THAT SPEAKS

1091
03:29:29.623 --> 03:29:40.800
FOR ITSELF. SO THEN WHEN I TALK ABOUT ALL THOSE THINGS GOING WELL, IT BEGS THE QUESTION WELL THEN WHAT'S THE ISSUE AS I SEE IT, THE ISSUE IS THAT TWO THIRDS OF OUR GENERAL FUND COMES FROM

1092
03:29:40.800 --> 03:29:51.812
PROPERTY TAXES. THAT MEANS THAT THE BUDGET DECISIONS THAT WE ALL MAKE DIRECTLY IMPACT AND AFFECT OUR TAXPAYERS, OUR RESIDENTS AND OUR BUSINESSES ALIKE.

1093
03:29:51.812 --> 03:30:00.454
66% OF OUR REVENUE IN OUR GENERAL FUND COMES FROM THOSE PROPERTY TAXES AND THAT CONCENTRATION IS WHY FISCAL DISCIPLINE IS SO IMPORTANT.

1094
03:30:00.454 --> 03:30:12.866
THIS CHART SHOWS OUR HISTORIC LEVY TRAJECTORY OVER TIME. OUR AVERAGE LEVY INCREASE BETWEEN 2008 AND 2022 WAS

1095
03:30:12.866 --> 03:30:24.378
APPROXIMATELY 3.6%. RECENT YEARS AS YOU'LL SEE WERE SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER. A LOT OF THAT INCREASE REFLECTS THINGS LIKE INFLATION ,THE CONTINUED INVESTMENT IN AND EXPANSION OF OUR PUBLIC

1096
03:30:24.378 --> 03:30:35.756
SAFETY INVESTMENTS AND DEFERRED NEEDS THAT EMERGED AFTER THE PANDEMIC PERIOD OUT OF 2021. SO AS WE LOOK AHEAD, ONE

1097
03:30:35.756 --> 03:30:44.431
OF OUR RESPONSIBILITIES IS DETERMINING WHAT LEVEL OF INVESTMENT IS SUSTAINABLE FOR THE ORGANIZATION AND MEETING THE NEEDS THAT OUR COMMUNITY RELIES UPON US FOR

1098
03:30:44.431 --> 03:30:55.008
BUT ALSO WHAT'S SUSTAINABLE FOR OUR TAXPAYERS. I THINK YOU CAN SEE IN THIS GRAPH THAT THAT WORK STARTED LAST YEAR WHEN WE SET OUR LEVY AT A BELOW 7% WHICH WAS BELOW

1099
03:30:55.008 --> 03:31:06.619
THAT LAST FOUR YEAR AVERAGE BUT ALSO A FOUR POINT BELOW OUR PEERS STATEWIDE HERE IN MINNESOTA. SO BEFORE DISCUSSING NEXT STEPS WHICH CARR IS GOING TO FOCUS ON, I THINK IT'S

1100
03:31:06.619 --> 03:31:17.331
IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THE ENVIRONMENT THAT WE ARE BUDGETING IN SOME OF THE TRADITIONAL AREAS THAT WE LOOK TO WHEN WE THINK ABOUT BUDGET OR WHAT'S HAPPENING AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL AND I THINK THE TERM THAT COMES UP THERE IS

1101
03:31:17.331 --> 03:31:28.541
UNCERTAINTY. WE ARE SEEING EITHER DIRECTLY OR THREATS OF REDUCED FEDERAL GRANT FUNDING WHICH IS A CORE PART OF OUR BUDGET AND OUR SERVICES. THERE'S ALSO BROAD SPENDING

1102
03:31:28.541 --> 03:31:39.719
REDUCTION EFFORTS THAT DIRECTLY AFFECT OUR PROGRAMS HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT FUNDING CHANGES THREATEN MANY OF THE KEY INITIATIVES THAT WE'RE WORKING ON HERE IN BLOOMINGTON.

1103
03:31:39.719 --> 03:31:51.031
TRANSPORTATION FUNDING REMAINS UNCERTAIN. TARIFFS AND TRADE POLICIES CONTINUE TO CREATE VOLATILITY AND DRIVE UP MATERIAL COSTS

1104
03:31:51.031 --> 03:31:59.606
AND THEN INFLATIONARY PRESSURES THAT ARE TIED TO FEDERAL FISCAL AND MONETARY ACTIONS ALSO FURTHER COMPOUND AND CREATE UNCERTAINTY IN THAT AREA AS WELL.

1105
03:31:59.606 --> 03:32:12.052
THOSE ISSUES ARE ALSO TROUBLESOME FOR SOME OF OUR PARTNERS HERE IN THE STATE. THE STATE IS FORECASTING A $3.4 BILLION DEFICIT AND ITS

1106
03:32:12.052 --> 03:32:21.328
BUDGET FOR THE 2829 BUDGET BIENNIUM. THAT'S LIKELY GOING TO FLOW DOWNHILL TO CITIES AND SEE AN IMPACT HERE AN UPWARD STRAIN ON DEMAND FOR OUR SERVICES AS

1107
03:32:21.328 --> 03:32:32.072
THE STATE HAS TO, YOU KNOW, ROLL BACK SOME OF THEIR SERVICES TO BALANCE OUT BUDGET. OUR PARTNERS AT HENNEPIN COUNTY ARE DOWN 432 FTE AS

1108
03:32:32.072 --> 03:32:43.750
YEAR OVER YEAR AND ARE ALSO FACING $59 MILLION IN FEDERAL REVENUE EXPOSURE PARTICULARLY AGAIN IN THOSE GRANT AREAS. SO WHEN OUR REGIONAL PARTNERS ARE UNDER STRAIN IT AFFECTS

1109
03:32:43.750 --> 03:32:55.395
OUR SERVICES AND THE SHARED PROGRAMS WE DEPEND ON. ANOTHER WAY OF PUTTING THAT STATE AND COUNTY STRESS OR BLOOMINGTON STRESS ANOTHER AREA THAT WE LOOK TO AND SEE

1110
03:32:55.395 --> 03:33:06.573
CHALLENGES IS WITH FUEL PRICING AND THE THOSE COST PRESSURES NOT ONLY AFFECT OUR RESIDENTS BUT DIRECTLY IMPACT OUR EXPENSES HERE AT THE CITY AS WELL. THE REGIONAL AVERAGE HERE

1111
03:33:06.573 --> 03:33:17.217
IN THE TWIN CITIES AS OF LAST WEEK WAS $3.95 FOR A GALLON OF GAS WHICH IS A 35% INCREASE FROM JUST ONE YEAR AGO. SO AS I MENTIONED, THAT NOT

1112
03:33:17.217 --> 03:33:29.229
ONLY IMPACTS WHAT OUR RESIDENTS ARE FACING IN THEIR HOUSEHOLD BUDGETS BUT THAT IMPACTS EVERY CITY DEPARTMENT THAT MOVES PEOPLE OR EQUIPMENT HERE IN OUR CITY.

1113
03:33:29.229 --> 03:33:40.974
CANNOT TALK ABOUT OUR BUDGET AND WHAT WE ARE FACING WITHOUT RECOGNIZING THE IMPACT OF OPERATION METRO SURGE. OBVIOUSLY THE LEISURE ECONOMY IS VERY IMPORTANT TO THE BLOOMINGTON ECONOMY AND 2026

1114
03:33:40.974 --> 03:33:52.686
QUARTER ONE SUFFERED SIGNIFICANT LOSSES. THESE ARE STATEWIDE NUMBERS BUT IT IS ESTIMATED THAT APPROXIMATELY 4600 JOBS WERE LOST DURING THAT PERIOD OF TIME.

1115
03:33:52.686 --> 03:34:04.164
2.6 MILLION HOURS OF WORK WAS LOST, 3.8 MILLION TOTAL WORKING HOURS WERE LOST WHICH TRANSLATES INTO $71 MILLION IN LOST WAGES FOR PEOPLE WHO

1116
03:34:04.164 --> 03:34:15.008
WORK IN THE HOSPITALITY AND LEISURE INDUSTRY. THAT OPERATION HAS REAL WORLD HUMAN IMPACT ON WORKERS IN OUR COMMUNITY. WE ALL HAVE HEARD AND PROBABLY

1117
03:34:15.008 --> 03:34:25.519
FELT BUT LOCAL INFLATION CONTINUES TO RISE. SO HERE IN THE TWIN CITIES AREA INFLATION IN MAY ROSE 4.7

1118
03:34:25.519 --> 03:34:34.728
YEAR OVER YEAR WELL ABOVE WHAT MANY HOUSEHOLDS PROBABLY BUDGETED FOR. THAT MEANS THAT EVERY DOLLAR THE CITY IS SPENDING IS ALSO WORTH LESS. THAT IS A COST SQUEEZE AS MUCH

1119
03:34:34.728 --> 03:34:46.106
AS A REVENUE CONCERN FOR US HERE AT THE CITY. FURTHER COMPLICATING THAT IS NATIONALLY WAGES YEAR OVER YEAR HAVE ONLY GROWN AT A RATE

1120
03:34:46.106 --> 03:34:54.380
OF 3.4%. THAT'S MEANINGFUL BUT OBVIOUSLY IT LAGS INFLATION. SO WHEN YOU COMPARE NATIONAL INCREASE IN INFLATION LAST MONTH TO WAGE GROWTH YOU SEE A

1121
03:34:54.380 --> 03:35:07.761
NEGATIVE REAL WAGE GROWTH OF 0.8%. SO WHEN YOU SEE THAT KIND OF NEGATIVE GROWTH THERE IS A COUPLE OPTIONS NONE OF THEM GREAT. PEOPLE TAP INTO PERSONAL

1122
03:35:07.761 --> 03:35:18.138
SAVINGS AND YOU CAN SEE PERSONAL SAVINGS NATIONALLY ARE DOWN ALMOST 2%. THAT MEANS OUR RESIDENTS HAVE LESS FINANCIAL CUSHION THAN THEY DID A YEAR AGO.

1123
03:35:18.138 --> 03:35:28.382
ANOTHER NOT GREAT OPTION IS TAKING OUT MORE DEBT AND TOTAL U.S. HOUSEHOLD DEBT HAS HIT A RECORD 18.79 TRILLION AS OF QUARTER ONE 2026.

1124
03:35:28.382 --> 03:35:39.626
THAT IS A NATIONAL WARNING SIGN SHOWING US THAT HOUSEHOLDS ARE MORE SUSCEPTIBLE SUSCEPTIBLE TO ECONOMIC DOWNTURNS THAT RIPPLE THROUGHOUT OUR LOCAL ECONOMY

1125
03:35:39.626 --> 03:35:51.038
AND THEN THAT HAS A NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCE TO SEEING THAT CONSUMER DELINQUENCIES HAVE JUMPED TO THEIR HIGHEST LEVEL IN ALMOST TEN YEARS. THAT IS A LEADING INDICATOR

1126
03:35:51.038 --> 03:36:03.283
OF ECONOMIC STRESS AND SIGNALS A POTENTIAL SOFTENING IN CONSUMER SPENDING AS WELL WHICH DIRECTLY IMPACTS IN A NEGATIVE WAY OUR TAX BASE. SO THERE IS MIXED NEWS FOR OUR

1127
03:36:03.283 --> 03:36:14.494
STATE MOVING AHEAD. STRONG LABOR GROWTH ACCORDING TO OUR DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. STRONG LABOR GROWTH IN MARCH OF 20 OF 2026 THE LARGEST

1128
03:36:14.494 --> 03:36:26.439
LEVEL THAT THEY'VE SEEN IN TWO YEARS. ALSO OUTPERFORMED THE NATIONAL AVERAGE. OUR LABOR FORCE PARTICIPATION RATE IS ABOVE THE U.S. AVERAGE. AND SOME OF THE KEY SECTORS THAT WE HAVE HERE

1129
03:36:26.439 --> 03:36:37.483
IN BLOOMINGTON LIKE MANUFACTURING HEALTH SERVICES AMONG OTHERS ARE CONTINUING TO LEAD IN LONG TERM GROWTH. BUT THERE ARE AREAS OF CONCERN THAT LABOR FORCE PARTICIPATION

1130
03:36:37.483 --> 03:36:48.161
RATE HAS DECLINED NOW FOR FOUR CONSECUTIVE MONTHS. SO EVEN THOUGH WE'RE AHEAD OF THE NATIONAL AVERAGE WE ARE STILL DECLINING. SOME SECTORS ARE STILL RECORDING ANNUAL JOB LOSSES. WE ARE SEEING SLOWER LONG TERM

1131
03:36:48.161 --> 03:36:59.539
JOB GROWTH THAT COULD COMPRESS OUR FUTURE REVENUE GROWTH. AND THEN IMMIGRATION AND WORKFORCE AVAILABILITY REMAIN A CONSTRAINTS IN OUR STATEWIDE

1132
03:36:59.539 --> 03:37:10.884
ECONOMY. WE ALSO WOULD BE SHORT SIGHTED IF WE DIDN'T ACKNOWLEDGE THE NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITY THAT CONTINUE TO EVOLVE. ALMOST 21% OF OUR RESIDENTS

1133
03:37:10.884 --> 03:37:23.930
ARE NOW 65 YEARS OR OLDER. THAT IS ABOVE THE STATEWIDE AVERAGE OF 18%. AN AGING POPULATION MEANS GROWING DEMAND FOR SERVICES AND OFTENTIMES THAT MEANS RESIDENTS WHO ARE ON FIXED

1134
03:37:23.930 --> 03:37:34.341
INCOMES. OUR GROSS RENT IS ABOUT $1,500 A MONTH. THAT'S ABOUT $300 ABOVE THE STATE MEDIAN HOUSING AFFORDABILITY AS WE ALL KNOW REMAINS A MAJOR PRESSURE

1135
03:37:34.341 --> 03:37:45.251
POINT. OUR MEDIAN HOMEOWNER COSTS ARE ABOUT $2,000 PER MONTH. THAT'S ALSO ABOVE THE STATE FIGURES. AND THEN I WOULD JUMP AHEAD AND SAY THAT OUR POVERTY RATE

1136
03:37:45.251 --> 03:37:56.563
IS ESSENTIALLY THE SAME AS THE STATE AVERAGE. SO THAT'S NOT AN OUTLIER BUT IT'S CERTAINLY NOT A POINT OF COMFORT EITHER. I THINK WE HEARD THAT IN ONE WAY EXPRESSED BACK IN FEBRUARY WHEN OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

1137
03:37:56.563 --> 03:38:06.606
OF VEEP WAS HERE AND MENTIONED THAT APPROXIMATELY ONE OUT OF EVERY NINE BLOOMINGTON RESIDENTS ARE SEEKING FOOD ASSISTANCE EVERY MONTH AT THEIR FACILITY.

1138
03:38:06.606 --> 03:38:17.851
SO I THINK OUR BUDGET SHOULD BE SOMETHING THAT WE AS I SAID, TRY TO LAND BETWEEN THE POLLS OF EMPHASIZING THE THINGS THAT WE DO WELL AND THAT ARE RESIDENTS RELY UPON

1139
03:38:17.851 --> 03:38:29.763
US FOR BUT ALSO ACKNOWLEDGE THE SENSITIVITY THAT WE'RE ALL FACING AS WE HAD OUR COUNCIL RETREAT A FEW MONTHS AGO. SOME OF THOSE PRIORITIES THAT WE HEARD AND THAT STAFF WILL

1140
03:38:29.763 --> 03:38:41.908
BE FOCUSING ON ARE TO EMPHASIZE EXECU SSION OVEREXPANSION FINISHING WHAT WE STARTED. STRENGTHENING THE WAYS IN WHICH WE SERVE. FOCUSING ON OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE AND CONTINUOUS

1141
03:38:41.908 --> 03:38:51.150
IMPROVEMENT. REMAINING FINANCIALLY STRONG. BEING VERY DISCIPLINED IN AND DEFENSIVE OF OUR STRONG FINANCIAL LEGACY HERE IN BLOOMINGTON. AND THEN ALIGNING OUR BUDGET

1142
03:38:51.150 --> 03:39:01.561
WITH STRATEGY TO ENSURE THAT EVERY DOLLAR CONNECTS TO COUNCIL PRIORITIES. SO WITH THAT COREY IS GOING TO COME BACK AND DISCUSS WITH YOU HOW THIS PROCESS IS GOING TO UNFOLD OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL

1143
03:39:01.561 --> 03:39:15.108
MONTHS. HELLO. WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO TRY TO GET THROUGH THIS LIKE IN FIVE MINUTES? I CAN DO IT REALLY FAST FASTER THAN I WAS PLANNING.

1144
03:39:15.108 --> 03:39:23.517
YES. OKAY. OKAY. SO I'M GOING TO GO OFF SCRIPT BUT SO FIRST OF ALL JUST THIS IS THE CALENDAR.

1145
03:39:23.517 --> 03:39:34.627
AND SO I WILL JUST POINT OUT ON HERE IT'S COLOR CODED. AND SO THE GREEN BOXES ARE CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS. THE ORANGE HOUR CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS WHERE THE PUBLIC CAN

1146
03:39:34.627 --> 03:39:45.705
COMMENT ABOUT THE BUDGET. THE DARK BLUE IS THE WORK THAT THE CITY STAFF ARE DOING. AND THE LIGHT BLUE IS COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. SO WE'RE WELL UNDERWAY. AND THEN THESE ARE THE

1147
03:39:45.705 --> 03:39:57.216
COMMUNITY OUTREACH EVENTS THAT WE'VE HAD TO DATE. AND SO WE HAVE FOUR EVENTS WE'VE ALREADY HAD TWO THAT ARE DONE. AND YOU CAN SEE THE LITTLE LANTERN IN THE CORNER.

1148
03:39:57.216 --> 03:40:07.626
WE HAVE AN APRIL OVER AT THE BLOOMINGTON HOME FAIR. AND YESTERDAY IS AT BLOOMINGTON PRIDE AND THOSE EVENTS TOGETHER WE'VE HAD INTERACTIONS FOR WITH 400 RESIDENTS.

1149
03:40:07.626 --> 03:40:19.638
AND I WILL SAY OVERWHELMINGLY THEY HAVE BEEN VERY POSITIVE. WE'VE HAD A LOT OF GOOD FEEDBACK AND A LOT OF ENGAGED RESIDENTS HAVE BEEN WATCHING. AND THEY HAVE MENTIONED THAT THEY GET A LOT OF THEIR INFORMATION FROM THE BRIEFING

1150
03:40:19.638 --> 03:40:30.050
ABOUT THE BUDGET AND THEY DID WELL ON OUR BUDGET TRIVIA THAT WE HAD. >> AND AS YOU KNOW, THIS IS OUR FIRST YEAR OF DOING A TWO YEAR BUDGET PROCESS. WE'RE GOING TO BE

1151
03:40:30.050 --> 03:40:41.394
TRANSITIONING TO NOT JUST DOING THE 27 BUT ALSO THE 28. AND THERE WILL BE A CADENCE OF FOCUSING ON PERFORMING MEASUREMENTS ON THOSE OFF YEARS.

1152
03:40:41.394 --> 03:40:54.374
AND OF COURSE THE LEVY HAS TO BE SET BY YOU EVERY YEAR. BUT IN THERE CAN BE SOME ADJUSTMENTS BUT YOU'RE GOING TO BE SETTING OR APPROVING A BUDGET FOR BOTH 27 AND 28

1153
03:40:54.374 --> 03:41:03.950
PRIORITY BASED BUDGETING. THIS IS OUR SECOND YEAR OF DOING IT. WE LEARNED A LOT THE FIRST YEAR. THE FOCUS RIGHT NOW WILL BE ON REFINING AND IMPROVING IT TO

1154
03:41:03.950 --> 03:41:15.295
MAKE IT MORE USEFUL FOR US WITH BUDGET DECISIONS AND THERE'S SOME ALSO ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONALITY IN THE SOFTWARE SO WE CAN INCORPORATE IT

1155
03:41:15.295 --> 03:41:24.204
EASIER INSTEAD OF WE HAD AN 800 PAGE REPORT LAST YEAR AND THE THIS WILL BE HOPEFULLY EASIER TO WORK WITH WITHIN THE SOFTWARE AND THEN TRAIN AND

1156
03:41:24.204 --> 03:41:37.383
DIGEST IT IN ONE REPORT. AND THEN ALSO LIKE I SAID ON THE OFF YEARS OF THE TWO YEAR BUDGET CYCLE WE'RE GOING TO BE FOCUSING ON PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT.

1157
03:41:37.383 --> 03:41:48.494
SO WE'LL BE LOOKING INTO WHAT IS BEING MADE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE MEASURING WHAT MATTERS AND HAVING SOME DATA FOR A NARRATIVE OF WHAT WE'RE DOING AND TURNING THAT DATA

1158
03:41:48.494 --> 03:42:02.375
INTO ACTION AND BUILDING ON THAT. AND THEN JUST YOU SAW THIS AT YOUR RETREAT AS WELL WHEN EMILY LARSON PRESENTED THIS. BUT JUST THE THREE KIND

1159
03:42:02.375 --> 03:42:11.951
OF PHASES OF THE STRATEGIC PLANNING WHERE YOU'RE SETTING THE GOALS, THE PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT WHERE WE'RE TRACKING IT AND THEN LIKE WHEN WE'RE DOING OUR OUR BUDGETING THAT WE'RE MAKING SURE THAT THOSE RESOURCES ALIGN WITH

1160
03:42:11.951 --> 03:42:23.930
THOSE PRIORITIES. YEAH. OH, HEY. BUT I DID GO THROUGH THAT REALLY QUICKLY INVITE ANY

1161
03:42:23.930 --> 03:42:35.208
QUESTIONS. AND YOU DID GO QUICKLY AND I APPRECIATE IT. I DO THINK WHAT YOU WHAT YOU SAID WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT FOR A WHILE NOW I MEAN THE SPECIFICS ARE OUR YOU KNOW THERE BUT THE CONVERSATION

1162
03:42:35.208 --> 03:42:45.985
ABOUT THE TWO YEAR BUDGETING AND THE FOCUSING ON ON OUTCOMES AND PRIORITY BASED BUDGETING SO I APPRECIATE YOUR ZIPPING ON THROUGH IT. COUNCILMEMBER KERR, JUST ONE QUICK COMMENT.

1163
03:42:45.985 --> 03:42:56.629
IT'S NOT IN HERE BUT I'M ASSUMING IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN IN THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS OR MORE THAN A COUPLE OF YEARS. I FEEL LIKE WE'VE DONE A REALLY GOOD JOB UPDATING THE WEBSITE AND DOING SOCIAL MEDIA

1164
03:42:56.629 --> 03:43:07.674
AND VIDEOS AND JUST KEEPING PEOPLE MORE ENGAGED IN THE BUDGET CONVERSATION THROUGH THE DIGITAL METHODS. AND SO I'M ASSUMING THAT'S ALSO HAPPENING. YES. MAYOR COUNCILMEMBERS

1165

AND SO IF ANYONE HAS QUESTIONS YOU KNOW WHERE TO FIND COREY. WE'LL HAVE THE CONVERSATION AS A COUNCIL AND I'M EXCITED TO SEE WHERE THIS CONVERSATION LEADS BECAUSE I THINK WE ALL

1169
03:43:52.818 --> 03:44:04.597
ARE FOCUSED ON TRYING TO GET TO WHERE WE NEED TO GET BUT UNDERSTANDING THE CONCERNS THE BIG QUESTIONS, THE ISSUES THAT WE HEARD LAST YEAR AROUND BUDGET TIME AND SO TO TRY AND WORK THROUGH THAT I THINK
