ACKNOWLEDGE THAT WE'VE BEEN JOINED BY COUNCIL MEMBER OSMAN AND COUNCIL MEMBER CASHMAN. WITH THAT, WE HAVE COUNCIL MEMBER WONSLEY ON QUEUE. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR CHAVEZ. I WANT TO SPEAK TO ITEM 1 WHICH IS THE HISTORIC DESIGNATION ITEM ON GLENDALE TOWNHOMES.
COLLEAGUES, I DID WANT TO L YOU KNOW AT COUNCIL ON THURSDAY I WILL MAKING A MOTION TO POSTPONE THIS ITEM FOR HISTORIC DESIGNATION FOR ONE CYCLE. IN THE LAST FEW DAYS, SEVERAL OF MY COLLEAGUES AS WELL AS MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC HAVE REACHED OUT TO MY OFFICE WITH QUESTIONS AND
CONCERNS THAT HAVE REVEALED TO ME THAT THERE IS SIGNIFICANT MISINFORMATION AND MISUNDERSTANDING ABOUT WHAT HISTORIC DESIGNATION DOES AND WHAT IT DOES NOT DO, AND WHAT IT WOD MEAN FOR THE FUTURE OF GLENDALE. SO WITH THAT IN MIND, I DO WANT TO ENSURE THAT EVERYONE ON COUNCIL HAS ACCESS
TO ACCURATE INFORMATION PRIOR TO VOTING ON THIS ITEM. I THINK EXTRA FEW WEEKS WILL HELP TO GIVE THAT RESET FOR EVERYONE TO HAVE ACCESS TO SAID INFORMATION. JUST LAST WEEK, TO SUPPORT THOSE
EFFORTS, MY OFFICE DID PUBLISH AN FAQ SHEET. THIS FAQ SHEET WENT OUT TO RESIDENTS ALSO IN MY NEWSLETTER ON FRIDAY. I'LL MAKE SURE TO SEND THIS TO THE CLERKS AS WELL TO MAKE SURE IT'S INCLUDED IN THE LIMS FI. I'LL
ALSO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT ON A COUPLE OF TNGS THAT'S ALSO INCLUDED IN THE FAQ SHEET. FOR INSTANCE, I'VE HEARD A LOT AROUND DOES HISTORIC DESIGNATION PREVENT INTERIOR REPAIRS. I WANT
TO NOTE IT DOES NOT PREVENT INTERIOR REPAIRS. IT ONLY APPLIES TO EXTERIOR FEATURES AND IT'S NOT A REASON FOR INTERIOR REPAIRS TO BE DELAYED OR DENIED. I KNOW THIS CAME UP DURING THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
MEETING. COMMISSIONERS THEMSELVES HAD TO CLARIFY THAT POINT OF MISINFORMION AROUND THIS COULD CAUSE DELAYS AND REPAIRS ESPECIALLY TYPE OF MAINTENANCE REPAIRS THAT WERE HIGHLIGHTED DURING THAT TESTIMONIAL PERIOD. THOSE ARE COMPLETELY UNRELATED TO THE
HISTORIC DESIGNATION THAT'S BEING CONSIDERED BEFORE THIS BO AND ALSO SHOULD NOT BE USED BY MPHA AS A REASON TO DENY OR DELAY REPAIRS. THOSE THINGS, THEY CAN DO. ALSO HISTORIC
DESIGNATION DOES NOT NECESSARILY PREVENT EXTERIOR RENOVATIONS, DEMOLITIONS OR CONSTRUCTION OF NEW. THIS HAS BEEN A BIG TOPIC, AND ALSO SINFORMATION. FIELDING INFORMATION FROM OUR EXPERTS AT THE CITY LEVEL, ALSO
AMONGST THE COMMISSION ITSELF, IT'S VERY CLEAR THAT BUILDINGS THAT RECEIVE HISTORIC DESIGNATION CAN STILL BE CONSIDERED FOR ALTERATN OR RENOVATION. THIS IS INFORMATION THAT'S PRESENTED ON THE WEBSITE. THE CITY'S WEBSITE. AND ANY PROPOSAL TO RENOVATE OR ALTER A
HISTORIC BUILDING WILL BE REVIEWED BY THE CITY'S HISTORIC PRESERVATION STAFF OR COMMISSION. IF THAT WAS APPEALED, IT WILL THEN BE VOTED ON BY COUNCIL. HISTORIC DESIGNATION DOES NOT PREVENT OR GUARANTEE THAT ANY PARTICULAR TYPE OF RENOVATION WILL OR WILL
NOT OCCUR. DURING THE LAST DECADE OF CONVERSATIONS, MPHA HAS NOT MADE A SPECIFIC PROPOSAL ON HOW THEY WOULD LIKE TO REDEVELOP GLENDALE TO HOUSE MORE FAMILIES. THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD LOVE TO SEE. BUT IF
GLENDALE DOES RECEIVE HISTORIC DESIGNATION, MPHA CAN PROPOSE SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENT, SIGNIFICANY RENOVATE SOME OR ALL THE TOWNHOMES THAT'S INCLUDED IN THE PROPEY TO CREATE MORE INTENSITY. SO THIS
IS ALL INFORMATION THAT'S ONCE AGAIN IN THE FAQ IN TERMS OF WHAT THIS PROCESSCTUALLY ENTAILS. AND HOPEFULLY THIS WILL ALLOW COUNCIL MEMBERS TO HAVE A MORE ACCURATE AND INFORMED CONVERSATION OR DEBATE ON THIS
ITEM SHOULD THAT POSTPONEMT BE APPROVED, AND WE WOULD THEN TAKE THIS UP AT FULL COUNCIL ON JUNE 5TH. JUST WANTED TO PROVIDE THAT CLARITY. >> THERE IS NO ONE ELSE LEFT ON QUEUE. I DID WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT WE'VE BEENOINED BY VICE
CHAIR CHOWDHURY. NEXT UP WE HAVE THE CLIMATE AND INFRASTRUCTURE COMMITTEE. I'LL PASS IT TO COUNCIL MEMBER CASHMAN. >> THANK U, MR. CHAIR. THE CLIMATE AND INFRASTRUCTURE COMMITTEE IS BRINGING FORWARD EIGHT ITEMS. 1 IS PASSAGE OF AN ORDINANCE RELATED TO EVENTS AT
OUTDOOR STADIUMS. ♪TWO IS ADOPTING STORMWATER MANAGEMENT ANNUAL REPORT. CONVERSATIONS WITH STAFF ABOUT OUR CAPACITY TO SUBMIT RECOMMENDATIONS. THREE IS

PLAIN. EIGHT IS VARIANCE REQUEST FOR MNDOT. I WILL STAND FOR QUESTIONS. >> I ALSO WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT WE'VE BEEN JOINED BY COUNCIL MEMBER PALMISANO. AND LASTLY, WE HAVE PUBLIC HEALTH &
SAFETY COMMITTEE, WITH COUNCIL MEMBER WONSLEY. >> THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. THE PUBLIC HEALTH & SAFETY COMMITTEE WILL BE BRINGING FORWARD TWO ITEMS. THE FIRST IS AUTHORIZING MOU WITH HENNEPIN HEALTH CARE. AND THE SECOND IS APPROVING
APPOINTMEN TO COMMUNITY COMMISSION ON POLICE OVERSIGHT. >> THANK YOU. NO ONE IS ON QUEUE. WITH THAT, WE ONLY HAVE ONE AGENDA ITEM TODAY, THAT BEING THE CLOSED SESSION. AND BEFORE I MOVE TO CLOSE THAT MEETING, I'LL RECOGNIZE CITY
