>> GOOD MORNING. WELCOME TO THE REGULAR MEETING OF THE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE. MY NAME IS AURIN CHOWDHURY AND I'M THE CHAIR OF THIS MEETING. THE CITY COUNCIL HAS TEMPORARILY RESTRUCTURED INTO A SINGLE SUPER COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE.

2
00:00:42.166 --> 00:00:59.183
THIS MEANS WE HAVE ESSENTIALLY CONSOLIDATED ALL OF OUR STANDING COMMITTEES INTO A SINGLE BODY. ALL ITEMS CONSIDERED TODAY WILL BE FORWARDED TO THE FULL CITY COUNCIL FOR ITS CONSIDERATION AT THE MEETING THIS THURSDAY, MARCH 26TH.

3
00:00:59.183 --> 00:01:16.133

5
00:01:32.650 --> 00:01:48.666
THIS TEMPORARY STRUCTURE. HAVING SAID THAT, I ALSO WANT TO EXPRESS MY APPRECIATION TO ALL OF MY COLLEAGUES AGAIN FOR THEIR PATIENCE OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS AND ALL OF THE STAFFOR THEIR METROPLEXIBILITY IN

00:01:48.666 --> 00:02:06.516

WE HAVE A QUORUM. BEFORE WE BEGIN THE MEETING, LET ME OFFER A FRIENDLY REMINDER TO EVERYONE THAT THESE MEETINGS ARE BROADCAST LIVE TO ENABLE GREATER PUBLIC PARTICIPATION. THE BROADCAST INCLUDES REALTIME CAPTIONING TO INCREASE ACCESSIBILITY FOR THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY. SO IT'S IMPORTANT THAT ALL

10
00:02:56.466 --> 00:03:12.716
SPEAKERS BE MINDFUL OF THE RATE OF THEIR SPEECH SO THAT OUR CAPTIONERS CAN FULLY CAPTURE AND TRANSCRIBE ALL COMMENTS FOR THE BROADCAST. WE ASK ALL SPEAKERS TO PLEASE MODERATE THE SPEED AND CLARITY OF THEIR COMMENTS AND THEN IF THEY COME AND SPEAK AND APPROACH

11
00:03:12.716 --> 00:03:28.800
THE MICROPHONE BEFORE US TO INTRODUCE THEMSELVES. SO COLLEAGUES, YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PRINTED AGENDA THAT WE HAVE A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF ITEMS TO ADDRESS TODAY. NOTHING NEW FOR SUPER COW. I'D LIKE TO EXPLAIN HOW I'LL BE

12
00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:45.150
PROCESSING THE AGENDA AND SEE IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT PROCESS AND THE TIMELINE WE'LL BE FOLLOWING FOR THIS MEETING. FIRST WE'RE GOING TO TAKE UP AND DISPOSE OF THE CONSENT AGENDA. I WILL NOTE THAT IF A CONSENT ITEM IS PULLED FOR DISCUSSION, THE ITEM WILL BE ADDRESSED AT

15
00:04:18.083 --> 00:04:35.633

16
00:04:35.633 --> 00:04:51.833

00:22:04.950 --> 00:22:22.066
ASSUMING THE DAMAGE DONE TO OUR. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH MY NEIGHBORS AND THE ASSESSMENT IS PRETTY MUCH THE SAME, ROUGHLY OVER $3,000 PER PROPERTY. I HAVE A CONCERN BECAUSE MY PROPERTY HAS A RETAINING WALL

80
00:22:22.066 --> 00:22:39.083
RIGHT ON THE ALLEY LINE. I'M FAMILIAR ENOUGH WITH CONSTRUCTION TO KNOW THAT THERE'S ALWAYS COST OVERRUNS. AND MY PROPERTY IS VERY MUCH DIFFERENT THAN ANY OF MY

81
00:22:39.083 --> 00:22:55.950
NEIGHBOR'S PROPERTY. SO I'M CONCERNED ABOUT EITHER REBUILDING THE RETAINING WALL OR, I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE COST OVERRUNS AND WHAT HAPPENS TO ME AND MY PROPERTY. I'VE BEEN THERE 30 YEARS. OKAY, THAT'S IT. THANK YOU.

82
00:22:55.950 --> 00:23:11.750
>> THANK YOU. AND THEN THERE'S A TABLE OUTSIDE OF HERE WHERE YOU CAN SIGN IN AS WELL AFTER WE HEAR FROM STAFF OR RIGHT OVER THERE ACTUALLY. WONDERFUL. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT'S WISHING TO ADDRESS THI

83
00:23:11.750 --> 00:23:28.833
COMMITTEE? SEEING NO ONE ELSE, I WILL CLOSE THIS HEARING. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSION FROM COMMITTEE MEMBERS? I'M THOUNOT SEEING, BUT I WILL

84
00:23:28.833 --> 00:23:47.200
ASK -- I SEE A NUMBER OF THEM. OKAY, COUNCILMEMBER WARREN. >> SO THANK YOU, CHAIR CHOWDHURY. TO ADDRESS THE CONCERN OF THE RESIDENT AT THAT 42nd STREET ALLEYWAY PROJECT, IS THERE GOING

85
00:23:47.200 --> 00:24:05.000
TO BE REMEDIES, IS HIS SITUATION GOING TO BE INDEMNIFIED BY THE WORK THAT IS DONE THAT HE'LL REMAIN WHOLE AFTER THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE ALLEYWAY? >> WE'LL INVITE STAFF UP TO TAKE THAT QUESTION.

86
00:24:05.000 --> 00:24:21.766
THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER WARREN. >> CHAIR CHOWDHURY, COUNCILMEMBER WARREN, MY NAME IS TRACY LINDGREN, I A PRINCIPAL PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER IN PUBLIC WORKS. AND AFTER THIS MEETING, WE WILL DISCUSS WITH THE RESIDENT ABOUT HIS PARTICULAR CONCERNS SO WE

87
00:24:21.766 --> 00:24:39.800
CAN ADDRESS THEM. >> OKAY. I MEAN, I THINK THAT'S MORE THAN FAIR JUST TO ENSURE THAT EVERYBODY REMAINS WHOLE IN THE SITUATION AND IF HE'S GOT SOME SPECIAL SHOOP-DE-DOOP HAPPENING

88
00:24:39.800 --> 00:24:55.966
WITH THIS PROPERTY AND IN HIS ALLEYWAY, HE SHOULD BE INDEMNIFIED IN THAT. AND WE SHLD TAKE THOSE THINGS INTO CONSIDERATION. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. >> I APPRECIATE YOU ASKING THE QUESTION.

89
00:24:55.966 --> 00:25:13.600
THAT'S WHAT I WAS GOING TO JUMP INTO QUEUE AS WELL. I'LL SHARE WITH STAFF, I THINK THAT QUESTION ABOUT RETAINING WALL AND GETTING THAT ADDRESSED WITH THE GENTLEMAN THAT CAME IN TODAY WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED AND THANK YOU FOR COMING DOWN TO CITY HALL TODAY. SEEING NO ONE ELSE IN

90
00:25:13.600 --> 00:25:33.966
DISCUSSION, MAY I PLEASE HAVE A MOTION? >> SO MOVED. >> SECOND, OKAY. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. [CHORUS OF AYES] THOSE OPPOSED SAY NAY. THAT MOTION CARRIES. OKAY. NOW WE'LL TAKE UP ONE OF OUR

91
00:25:33.966 --> 00:25:52.066
FAVORITES. QUASI-JUDICIAL HEARING SHOWN ON THE AGENDA. THIS IS AN APPEAL REGARDING THE DECISION OF THE HERITAGE PRESERVATION COMMISSION TO DENY A DEMOLITION OF HISTORIC RESOURCE APPLICATION FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1700 50TH

92
00:25:52.066 --> 00:26:02.450
STREET WEST. WELCOME, MR. ROB SKALECKI, SENIOR CITY PLANNER. PLEASE GO AHEAD AND PROVIDE A

93
00:26:02.450 --> 00:26:34.283
BRIEF PRESENTATION ON THIS

94
00:26:34.283 --> 00:26:49.316
MATTER. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR CHOWDHURY. GOOD MORNING COUNCIL MEMBERS. MY NAME IS ROB SKALECKI, A SENIOR CITY PLANNER IN CPED PLANNING. TODAY I'M PRESENTING AN APPEAL OF THE HERITAGE PRESERVATION

95
00:26:49.316 --> 00:27:05.250
COMMISSION'S FEBRUARY 10TH DECISION TO DENY DEMOLITION FOR E PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1700 50TH STREET KNOWN AS THE MOUNT OLIVETTE EVANGELICAL CHURCH. THE APPELLANT IS THE APPLICANT

96
00:27:05.250 --> 00:27:23.016
AND OWNER OF THE PROPERTY. IT INCLUDES A CHURCH ROOTED IN THE ENGLISH TRADITION. THE BUILDING IS 2.5 STORIES AND HAS A CROSS-SHAPED PLAN WITH A GABLE ROOF AND WINGS. THE BUILDING INCLUDES A ROOF THAT APPEARS TO INCLUDE ITS

97
00:27:23.016 --> 00:27:39.516
ORIGINAL SLATE ROOFING. STONE WORK IS RECTANGULAR CUT. AND THE CHURCH INCLUDES A SQUARE THREE-STORY TOWER AT THE NORTH OF THE EAST ELEVATION. THE PROPERTY HAS LANCET WINDOWS AND GOTHIC AND SEGMENTAL ARCH

98
00:27:39.516 --> 00:27:57.266
WINDOWS THROUGHOUT. PARAPETS, MASONRY BUTTRESSES, THESE ARE DEFINING FEATURES OF THE BUILDING. THESE ARE ALL HALLMARKS OF THE GOTHIC REVIVAL STYLE. THE PROPERTY WAS DESIGNED BY MINNEAPOLIS ARCHITECTS BARD &

99
00:27:57.266 --> 00:28:13.450
VANDERBILT. AND THE BUILDING WAS COMPLETED BY JM CARLSON IN 1929. THE FIRST BUILDING WAS HELD ON SEPTEMBER 10, 1939, AND THE BUILDING WAS DEDICATED ON OCTOBER 1, 1939. IN 1933, WE DETERMINED IT WAS A

100
00:28:13.450 --> 00:28:28.800
HISTORIC RESOURCE THROUGH HISTORIC REVIEW LETTER. THAT LETTER CONCLUDED THAT THE PROPERTY WAS ELIGIBLE FOR LANDMARK CRITERIA OUTLINED IN MINNEAPOLIS CODE OF ORDINANCES CHAPTER 599210.

101
00:28:28.800 --> 00:28:44.983
IT APPEARED ELIGIBLE FOR ARCHITECTURE AS AN IMPORTANT AND SIGNIFICANT EXAMPLE OF A GOTHIC REVIVAL CHURCH IN MINNEAPOLIS. THAT LETTER ALSO RECORDED THE PROPERTY APPEARED ELIGIBLE UNDER CRITERION SIX AS THE WORKS OF MASTER ARCHITECTS BARD AND VANDERBILT SINCE IT APPEARS ONE

102
00:28:44.983 --> 00:29:01.800
OF THE BEST REMAINING EXAMPLES OF THE FIRM'S CHURCH DESIGNS IN THE CITY. AND THE CITY HAS NOT YET DESIGNATED A CHURCH DESIGN BY THE ARCHITECTS AS A LANDMARK. IN DECEMBER 2025, THE PROPERTY OWNERS SUBMITTED A DEMOLITION OF HISTORIC RESOURCE APPLICATION

103
00:29:01.800 --> 00:29:17.383
REQUESTING TO DEMOLISH THE CHURCH. THEY'RE PROPOSING TO BUILD A NEW COMMUNITY-FOCUSED BUILDING ON THE SITE WITH THE POSSIBILITY FOR A BREWERY, COFFEE SHOP, AND MEETING SPACES. IN ORDER TO APPROVE A DEMOLITION OF HISTORIC RESOURCE APPLICATION, THE HERITAGE PRESERVATION COMMISSION MUST

104
00:29:17.383 --> 00:29:34.366
MAKE ONE OF THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS, ONE, THE DESTRUCTION IS NECESSARY TO CORRECT AN UP SAFE OR DANGEROUS CONDITION AT THE PROPERTY. OR TWO, THAT THERE ARE NO REASONABLE ALTERNATIVES TO THE DESTRUCTION. IN DETERMINING WHETHER REASONABLE ATERNTIVES EXIST, THE

105
00:29:34.366 --> 00:29:51.316
COMMISSION MAY CONSIDER BUT N BE LIMITED TO A THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PROPERTY, B THE INTEGRITY OF THE PROPERTY, AND C THE ECONOMIC VALUE OR USEFULNESS OF THE EXISTING STRUCTURE INCLUDING ITS CURRENT USE, COST OF RENOVATION, AND FEASIBLE ALTERNATIVE USES. IN THEIR APPLICATION MATERIALS, THE APPLICANT ARGUED THAT

106
00:29:51.316 --> 00:30:08.633
FURTHER STUDIES SUGGEST THAT THE PROPERTY DOES NOT CONTAIN SIGNIFICANCE WORTHY OF LANDMARK CONSIDERATION AS ORIGINALLY NOTED IN THE HISTORIC REVIEW LETTER. THE APPLICANT RETAINED LOCAL HISTO HISTORICAL CONSULTANT TO DRAFT AN ELIGIBILITY STUDY. THAT SUGGESTED THAT THE PROPERTY

107
00:30:08.633 --> 00:30:25.283
IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR LOCAL DESIGNATION DUE TO LACK OF HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE. THE APPLICANT ALSO ARGUED THAT RETAINING THE CHURCH, REHABILITATING THE CHURCH AND PLACING IT INTO A NEW USE WAS NOT ECONOMICALLY FEASIBLE ESPECIALLY GIVEN REPAIRS THAT ARE BELIEVED TO BE NEEDED.

108
00:30:25.283 --> 00:30:42.850
THEY PROVIDED ESTIMATES FOR REHABILITATION WORK. THE PROPERTY OWNER HAS NOTED THAT REUSE WAS ORIGINALLY CONSIDERED, BUT THAT THE COST OF REHABILITATION AND REUSE WAS TOO PROHIBITIVE AND WOULD NOT ACHIEVE THE GOALS DESIRED BY THE

109
00:30:42.850 --> 00:30:58.916
CHURCH FOR A NEW SPACE. THEIR APPLICATION WAS HEARD AT THE FEBRUARY 10, 2026, HERITAGE PRESERVATION COMMISSION MEETING. THE HPC CONCURRED WITH STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS AND FINDINGS NOTING THAT ONE, THE SUBJECT PROPERTY HAS SIGNIFICANCE UNDER

110
00:30:58.916 --> 00:31:16.083
LOCAL CRITERION 4 AND 6 AS STATED IN CHAPTER 599210 AND RETAINS HISTORIC INTEGRITY TO CONVEY ITS SIGNIFICANCE. THEREFORE THE PROPERTY IS ELIGLE FOR DESIGNATION AS AN INDIVIDUAL LAND MORNING. TWO, THE SUBJECT PROPERTY WAS RECOMMENDED AS INDIVIDUALLY

111
00:31:16.083 --> 00:31:31.316
ELIGIBLE IN THE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES IN 2005. THREE UNSAFE AND DANGEROUS STRUCTURAL CONDITIONS HAVE NOT BE PROVEN TO EXIST AT THE PROPERTY. AND FOUR, THERE ARE REASONABLE ALTERNATIVES TO THE DEMOLITION CONSIDERING THE SIGNIFICANCE,

112
00:31:31.316 --> 00:31:48.716
INTEGRITY, AND USEFULNESS OF THE EXISTING BUILDING. THE HERITAGE PRESERVATION COMMISSION VOTED UNANIMOUSLY TO DENY THE DEMOLITION OF HISTORIC RESOURCE APPLICATION, AND DIRECT THE PLANNING DIRTOR TO PREPARE A DESIGNATION STUDY FOR THE PROPERTY. THE APPELLANT IS APPEALING THAT

113
00:31:48.716 --> 00:32:04.450
DECISION. THE LAST THING WE'LL NOTE IS THAT STAFF HAVE RECEIVED OVER 45 COMMENTS IN SUPPORT OF THE CHURCH'S PROPOSED NEW PROJECT FROM COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND THOSE WERE FORWARDED FOR COUNCIL MEMBERS CONSIDERATIONS TODAY. I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS

114
00:32:04.450 --> 00:32:21.150
BUT I UNDERSTAND THAT THE PROPERTY OWNERS ARE HERE TO SPEAK AS WELL. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH. WITH THAT, I WILL JUST SHARE

115
00:32:21.150 --> 00:32:37.950
WITH THE COMMITTEE. ACTUALLY FOR THAT, I WILL OPEN THE HEARING ON THIS APPLICATION AND THEN I'LL ALSO RECOGNIZE THAT COUNCIL VICE PRESIDENT OSMAN HAS JOINED US FOR THIS MEETING. IF THE APPELLANT IS HERE WHICH THEY ARE TO ADDRESS THE COMMITTEE, WE'LL ALLOCATE FIVE MINUTES FOR THEIR COMMENTS.

116
00:32:37.950 --> 00:32:53.416
AFTER THAT, ANYBODY ELSE SIGNED UP WILL HAVE TWO MINUTES TO ADDRESS THE COMMITTEE. SO WITH THAT, I WILL WELCOME THE APPELLANT FOR ANY COMMENTS. WELCOME, PASTOR LOWES. >> THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.

117
00:32:53.416 --> 00:33:09.816
THANK YOU SO MUCH, COUNCIL, FOR HEARING OUR APPEAL. I'M GOING TO TRY TO SUMMARIZE THE HEART OF THIS APPEAL WITH REALLY THREE WORDS OR THREE WORDS DISTINCTIONS. THE FIRST IS THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN SOMETHING THAT'S HISTORICAL AND SOMETHING THAT'S HISTORIC. ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS IN THE PAST IS HISTORICAL.

118
00:33:09.816 --> 00:33:26.716
ANY SPEECH OR EVEN SERMON GIVEN IS HISTORICAL. BUT NOT ALL CONTINUE TO HAVE ONGOING SIGNIFICANCE. LINCOLN'S SECOND INAUGURAL IS HISTORIC. THE ADDRESS I MAKE TO YOU TODAY ALTHOUGH I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT WOULD PROBABLY NOT BE HISTORIC.

119
00:33:26.716 --> 00:33:41.583
THE 1700 BUILDING WE WOULD MAINTAIN IS HISTORICAL, BUT IT'S NOT HISTORIC. WHILE BART AND VANDERBILT WERE PROLIFIC ARCHITECTS THEY WERE NOT CONSIDERED THEN OR NOW PARTICULARLY SIGNIFICANT IN TERMS OF ARCHITECTURAL IMPACT.

120
00:33:41.583 --> 00:33:57.916
THE 1700 CHAPEL IS NEITHER THE BEST EXAMPLE OF THE NEO GOTHIC STYLE. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF BETTER EXAMPLES FROM THE ARCHITECTS. I DO HAVE PICTURES BUT DID NOT PLUG THEM IN AND MANY, MANY MORE SUCH CHURCH DESIGNS ACROSS THE

121
00:33:57.916 --> 00:34:14.616
LANDSCAPE OF THE CITY. IT'S NOT BART & VANDERBILT ONLY OR EVEN PREFERRED ARCHITECTURAL STYLE. BARD DESIGNED THE BUILDING FOR HIS HOME CHURCH IN A SPANISH REVIVAL STYLE. THE ONE CHURCH OF THEIR DESIGN THAT IS CONSIDERED HISTORICALLY

122
00:34:14.616 --> 00:34:31.750
MORE SIGNIFICANT WAS ST. AUSTIN'S CHURCH AND MODERN INFLUENCES THAT BEARS ALMOST NO RESEMBLANCE TO THE 1700 CHAPEL. THE SECOND DISTINCTION I WANT TO MAKE IS BETWEEN FEASIBLE AND POSSIBLE. THE CRITERIA AS I READ IT STATES

123
00:34:31.750 --> 00:34:48.616
THAT YOU NEED TO DEMONSTRATE NO FEASIBLE ALTERNATIVE TO DEMOLITION EXISTS. OUR INITIAL DESIRE WAS IN FACT TO USE AND ADAPT THE EXISTING BUILDING. I CANNOT OVERSTATE THAT. BUT BASED ON THE FACILITIES CONDITION ASSESSMENT, WE

124
00:34:48.616 --> 00:35:05.316
DISCOVERED THAT IT WOULD TAKE $8 MILLION SIMPLY TO ADDRESS ISSUES OF DEFERRED MAINTENANCE, INCLUDING MOLD AND ASBESTOS ABATEMENT, REPLACING HVAC, ROOFING, ELECTRICAL, AND MORE. MAKING IT ADA CODE COMPLIANT

125
00:35:05.316 --> 00:35:22.350
WOULD TAKE ANOTHER $3.4 MILLION. HAVING INVESTED ALL OF THAT, IT WOULD STILL NOT BE FIT FOR USE AS A COMMUNITY GATHERING SPACE. THERE'S ONLY ONE SMALL ROOM IN THAT BUILDING, APART FROM THE SANCTUARY WARE THAT IS ABOVE GROUND. WE DO NOT KNOW HOW MUCH MORE IT WOULD TAKE TO MAKE IT ADEQUATE

126
00:35:22.350 --> 00:35:40.050
FOR OUR INTENDED USE. SO THAT DISTINCTION, IS IT POSSIBLE TO RESTORE THE 1700 CHAPEL, YES, TO WHOMEVER WANTS TO INVEST $11 MILLION ON A BUILDING BUILT ON WOOD TIMBERS SUNK INTO ONE OF THE WETTEST

127
00:35:40.050 --> 00:35:55.333
AREAS OF THE CITY. AND AFTER YOU DO THAT, YOU KNOW IT WILL STILL BLEED HEAT IN THE WINTER AND AIR IN THE SUMMER. IS IT POSSIBLE? IS IT FEASIBLE? IN THE SENSE OF IT BEING PRACTICAL AND RESPONSIBLE, NO. NOT FOR US, AND I HONESTLY BELIEVEOT FOR ANYONE THAT

128
00:35:55.333 --> 00:36:11.383
WOULD WANT TO TAKE ON THAT LEVEL OF COST. BECAUSE THE COST O RESTORATION AND CODE COMPLIANCE WAS SO EXORBITANT, WE DID NOT CONDUCT A STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS PRIOR TO OUR MEETING WITH THE HPC. SINCE THEN, WE HAVE TAKEN THE FIRST STEP AND CONDUCTED A

129
00:36:11.383 --> 00:36:27.400
MOISTURE INSPECTION. OF THE SIX INSPECTED WALLS TESTED, THREE WERE WITHIN ACCEPTABLE THOUGH NOT IDEAL LEVELS. THAT'S BETWEEN 5-15% MOISTURE. THE OTHER THREE WALLS WERE NOT ACCEPTABLE, WITH ONE AT 16.6% MOISTURE.

130
00:36:27.400 --> 00:36:44.516
ANYTHING OVER 15% IS CONSIDERED HIGH RISK. AND TWO WALLS THAT CAME AT 39.8% AND 40% MOISTURE WHICH IS CONSIDERED EXCESSIVELY HIGH RISK FOR MOLD AND RAISE SIGNIFICANT QUESTIONS ABOUT THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THOSE PORTIONS OF THE STRUCTURE ALL OF WHICH COULD

131
00:36:44.516 --> 00:37:02.800
ADD CONSIDERABLY TO THE COST OR MAKE IMPOSSIBLE FULL RESTORATION. THE THIRD DISTINCTION I WANT TO MAKE IS MAYBE THE MOST IMPORTANT. THAT IS BETWEEN THE WORDS PARISH AND CONGREGATION. THOSE WORDS ARE USED ALMOST SYNONYMOUSLY TODAY. BUT PARISH WAS ORIGINALLY NOT AN ORGANIZATIONAL TERM, BUT RATHER

132
00:37:02.800 --> 00:37:18.783
A GGRAPHICAL DESIGNATION. THINK ABOUT COUNTY CORK IN IRELAND MADE UP OF 200 DIFFERENT TERRITORIAL PARISHES. WE THINK ABOUT THE COMMUNITY THAT WE'RE PLACED IN AS OUR PARISH, WHETHER PEOPLE ARE MEMBERS OF OUR CONGREGATION OR NOT, WE HAVE AN OBLIGATION AND

133
00:37:18.783 --> 00:37:34.333
INTEREST IN CARING FOR THEM AND SUPPORTING THEM. AND WE HAVE A LONG HISTORY OF CARING FOR ITS PARISH. THE CARE VIEW HOME IS CONSISTENTLY RATED AMONG THE 3% OF THE TOP ELDER CARE FACILITIES IN THE STATE AND NATION. ROLLING ACRESS ONE OF THE MOST

134
00:37:34.333 --> 00:37:51.083
TRUSTED PARTNERS IN THE METRO AREA CARING FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES. THE COUNSELING CENTER HAS BEEN AROUND FOR 35 YEARS, HAS A SLIDING SCALE OPEN TO THE WHOLE COMMUNITY. AND MORE RECENTLY, THIS IS OUR GOAL FOR THIS BUILDING TO MAKE A COMMUNITY SPACE THAT PEOPLE WANT TO GATHER IN.

135
00:37:51.083 --> 00:38:07.333
WHEN WE THINK ABOUT THE PANDEMIC OF ISOLATION, ABOUT THE RISE OF LONELINESS, THE POLARIZATION, WE WANT TO CREATE A SPACE WHERE PEOPLE CAN COME TOGETHER TO SOCIALIZE, TO GATHER, TO VOLUNTEER AND MORE. I THINK I SHOULD STOP. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH, PASTOR.

136
00:38:07.333 --> 00:38:22.966
REALLY APPRECIATE IT. WITH THAT, I WILL ASK IF THERE IS ANYONE ELSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THIS COMMITTEE ON THIS ITEM? YOU'LL HAVE TWO MINUTES TO GIVE PUBLIC TESTIMONY. IF THERE'S ANYONE ELSE WISHING

137
00:38:22.966 --> 00:38:40.116
TO SPEAK. SEEING NONE, I WILL CLOSE THIS HEARING AND I WILL RECOGNIZE COUNCILMEMBER PALMISANO. >> THANK YOU,ASTOR LOWS FOR

138
00:38:40.116 --> 00:38:56.116
BEING HERE TODAY. WE UNDERSTAND YOU HAD TO CANCEL SOMETHING MAJOR TO BE HERE AND WE APPRECIATE YOUR DEDICATION FOR THE PROPOSAL. I WILL ADMIT IT TOOK ME A LITTLE WHILE TO GET HERE. FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS, I HAVE BEEN BRINGING SLIDE DECKS

139
00:38:56.116 --> 00:39:13.383
OF MR. SKALECKI'S IDEAS FOR HOUSING REUSE TO MT. OLIVETTE. BUT I REALLY SUPPORT THE THOUGHT BEHIND THIS IDEA, PASTOR LOWS AND YOUR WANTING TO OFFER THE

140
00:39:13.383 --> 00:39:30.333
WHOLE MINNEAPOLIS COMMUNITY AND YOUR PARISH AREA A PLACE TO INTENTIONALLY GATHER AND TO CONNECT WITH ONE ANOTHER. I INITIALLY WANTED FURTHER CONSIDERATION FOR CREATIVE USES LIKE HOUSING. BUT IO UNDERSTAND THAT THE LIMITS OF THIS PROPERTY REALLY LIMIT WHAT CAN REASONABLY BE

141
00:39:30.333 --> 00:39:46.650
CONSIDERED. THIS IS A RELATIVELY SMALL SPACE AS COMPARED TO OTHER CHURCHES, THERE'S NO ADA ACCESS, NO ACCESSIBLE BATHROOMS, AND THE ONLY ACCESSIBLE BATHROOMS ARE IN THE BASEMENT. THE COST OF REUSE WOULD BE NEARLY DOUBLE THE COST OF THIS SPACE.

142
00:39:46.650 --> 00:40:04.216
TO MAKE THE BUILDING FUNCTIONAL AND ADA COMPLIANT WOULD BE $11.4 MILLION, AND THAT'S BEFORE ANY COSTS FOR RENOVATION OR REUSE. TO BUILD A NEW, ENVIRONMENTALLY FORWARD AND SUSTAINABLE STRUCTURE WOULD BE $6 MILLION TO $7 MILLION. I SEEM TO RECALL YOU'VE ATTEMPTED TO USE THIS SITE OVER

143
00:40:04.216 --> 00:40:21.750
THE YEARS FOR SEVERAL DIFFERENT PURPOSES, NONE OF WHICH REALLY WORKED OUT. A YOUTH SPACE, A WEDDING CHAPEL, AND POSSIBLY AS A COUNSELING CENTER. THIS IS SOMETHI THAT THE 13th WARD REALLY NEEDS. OTHER THAN OUR PARK BUILDINGS WHICH ARE SMALL, HAVE NO

144
00:40:21.750 --> 00:40:38.350
AIR-CONDITIONING OR ANY AMENITIES, WE JUST DON'T HAVE ANY COMMUNITY SPACE. AND I REALLY APPREATE THAT MT. OLIVETTE RECOGNIZES THAT. FOR EXAMPLE, THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION HAS AND ALREADY USES YOUR MAIN BUILDING FOR EVERY NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING BECAUSE YOU

145
00:40:38.350 --> 00:40:54.916
WELCOME EVERYONE IN. FOR A NUMBER OF OUR CITY-FOCUSED MEETINGS, WHETHER IT'S A PUBLIC WORKS MEETING OR A TOWN HALL, YOU WELCOME EVERYONE. I ADMIRE MT. OLIVETTE'S COMMITMENT TO ENVIRONMENTAL BUILDING PRACTICES AND ALSO REUSE OF SOME OF THESE

146
00:40:54.916 --> 00:41:11.116
MATERIALS. IN TERMS OF THE CURRENT STATUS OF THE APPLICATION, STAFF FOUND THAT ONLY TWO OF THE SEVE DESIGNATION CRITERIA WERE MET SO FAR. THE DESIGNATION STUDY COMMISSIONED BY THE APPLICANT AND COMPLETED BY LANDSCAPE

147
00:41:11.116 --> 00:41:27.550
RESEARCH TWO YEARS AGO FOUND THAT THE PROPERTY IS NOT HISTORIC AND DOES NOT SUPPORT THE FINDINGS ON STAFF ON EVEN THOSE TWO CRITERIA. IT IS NEITHER THE FIRST OR EVEN A GOOD EXAMPLE OF THE GOTHIC REVIVAL STYLE CHURCH. AND THE ARCHITECTS ARE BETTER KNOWN ACTUALLY FOR A DIFFERENT

148
00:41:27.550 --> 00:41:44.450
STYLE, NOT GOTHIC REVIVAL. SO THIS STUDY IS IN THE APPLICATION PACKET IN OUR LIMS FILE. I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE TO FORWARD THIS APPEAL AND APPLICATION TO THE COUNCIL WITHOUT RECOMMENDATION AND DIRECT STAFF TO FIND FACTS IN SUPPORT OF THE

149
00:41:44.450 --> 00:41:59.183
APPLICATION WITH INTENTION TO GRANT THIS APPEAL ON THURSDAY. SO I'LL MAKE THAT MOTION. >> SECOND. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH, COUNCILMEMBER PALMISANO, FOR YOUR MOTION. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT WOULD

150
00:41:59.183 --> 00:42:18.633
LIKE TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM? SEEING NONE, ALL THOSE INAVOR SAY AYE. [CHORUS OF AYES] THOSE OPPOSED SAY NAY. THAT MOTION CARRIES AND WILL BE FORWARDED WITHOUT RECOMMENDATION TO THE FULL COUNCIL MEETING.

151
00:42:18.633 --> 00:42:36.633
ALL RIGHT, COLLEAGUES. WE ARE AT THE DISCUSSION POR
N PORTION. WE WILL BEGIN WITH ITEM NUMBER 66 WHICH IS FOR AN APPOINTED POSITION WITH THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, FIRE CHIEF. I'LL WELCOME BRENDAN MILLER FROM HUMAN RESOURCES FOR A

152
00:42:36.633 --> 00:42:44.283
PRESENTATION ON THIS POSITION.

153
00:42:44.283 --> 00:43:13.483
WELCOME, MS. MILLER.

154
00:43:13.483 --> 00:43:30.316
>> COMMITTEE, I'M BRENDA MILLER, THE CLASSIFICATION SUPERVISOR FOR THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS. I'M HERE TODAY TO PRESENT THE RECLASSIFICATION OF THE APPOIN APPOINTED FIRE CHIEF. THE FIRE CHIEF LEADS THE

155
00:43:30.316 --> 00:43:47.016
DEPARTMENT AND IS RESPONSIBLE FOR DIRECTING MINNEAPOLIS FIRE AND MENTAL HEALTH RESPONSE. THE CHIEF HAS BEEN EVALUATED AT 790 POINTS GRADE 17. THE 2026 SALARY SCHEDULE RANGES FROM $195,000 TO $231,000. AND THE SALARY SCHEDULE REFLECTS

156
00:43:47.016 --> 00:44:03.516
THE FINDINGS OF A CUSTOM MARKET STUDY FOR THE FIRE CHIEF JOB WHICH FINDS THAT THE CURRENT FIRE CHIEF SALARY IS APPROXIMATELY 13% BEHIND MARKET. THE 2026 COST IS IN THE BUDGET AND CHANGES WOULD BE EFFECTIVE MARCH 26, 2026.

157
00:44:03.516 --> 00:44:19.883
WE BELIEVE THIS POSITION MEETS THE CRITERIA OF SECTION 20.1010 OF THE MINNEAPOLIS CODE OF ORDINANCES. IT APPOINTS THE COMMUNITY SAFETY COMMISSIONER. IT'S A MEMBER OF THE COMNITY SAFETY TEAM'S EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT TEAM. IT LEADS THE DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF CITY POLICY

158
00:44:19.883 --> 00:44:36.483
GOALS AND STRATEGIC PLANNING FOR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. IT REQUIRES LEADERSHIP, VISION, TEAM BUILDING, AND STRATEGY IM IMPLEME IMPLEMENTATION. ANDT ESTABLISHES STRATEGY GOALS AND POLICY GOALS CONSISTENT WITH THE GOALS ESTABLISHED BY THE MAYOR, CITY

159
00:44:36.483 --> 00:44:54.350
COUNCIL, AND COMMUNITY SAFETY COMMISSIONER. WE'RE ASKING THAT YOU FIND THE FIRE CHIEF MEETS THE APPOINTED CRITERIA AS DEFINED IN SECTION 20.1010 OF THE MINNEAPOLIS CODE OF ORDINANCES AND FORWARDED ON TO COUNCIL FOR FINAL APPROVAL. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH,

160
00:44:54.350 --> 00:45:08.950
MS. MILLER. I HAVE ONE MEMBER IN QUEUE. COUNCILMEMBER CHUGHTAI. >> THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. I'M JUST LOOKING AT THE REPORT ATTACHED TO THE LIMS FILE ON THIS ITEM.

161
00:45:08.950 --> 00:45:26.483
AND THAT ONE OF THE REASONS THAT THE FIRE DEPARTMENT OR THE OFFICE OF COMMUNITY SAFETY PURSUED THIS CHANGE,T LOOKS LIKE THE OFFICE OF COMMUNITY SAFETY, I MISSPOKE. PURSUED THIS CHANGE WAS BECAUSE

162
00:45:26.483 --> 00:45:43.783
THERE HAVE BEEN SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE JOB DESCRIPTION DUE TO THE GOVERNMENT RESTRUCTURE AND THAT THIS JOB HAS NOT BEEN REVIEWED SINCE 2022. CITES THE BEHAVIORAL CRISIS RESPONSE PROGRAM. AND THEN CONTINUES TO SPEAK

163
00:45:43.783 --> 00:46:01.766
ABOUT THAT THE EXPANSION OF THAT PROGRAM AND THAT IT WILL BE BROUGHT IN HOUSE. BUT LIKE WE HAVE A CONTRACT WITH AN EXTERNAL VENDOR RIGHT NOW. SO I'M CONFUSED AS TO WHAT IS CHANGING THAT'S BEING

164
00:46:01.766 --> 00:46:18.333
COMMUNICATED TO US IN A CLASSIFICATION REPORT AND NOT LIKE IN ANY FORMAL SETTING. AND THAT SEEMS LIKE INCREDIBLY ODD TO ME. AND THEN I AM WONDENG IF YOU

165
00:46:18.333 --> 00:46:36.283
CAN SPEAK TO THAT OR PERHAPS I SEE REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE OFFICE OF COMMUNITY SAFETY HERE. AND THEN MY SECOND QUESTION IS I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW THE DIFFERENCE IN THE COMPENSATION AS IT EXISTS TODAY VERSUS WHAT IS PROPOSED HERE IS GOING TO BE ABSORBED.

166
00:46:36.283 --> 00:46:53.133
AS YOU KNOW, THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ALWAYS RUNS OVER THEIR APPROPRIATED BUDGET DUE TO OVERTIME DEMANDS. AND SO YEAH, HOW ARE TY GOING TO PAY FOR THIS? >> I'LL HAVE TO DEFER TO MY FRIENDS AT THE OFFICE OF

167
00:46:53.133 --> 00:47:09.450
COMMUNITY SAFETY. >> WELCOME. >> GOOD MORNING, CHAIR CHOWDHURY, COUNCILMEMBER CHUGHTAI. MAYBE I CAN PARSE OUT YOUR QUESTION. >> CAN YOU INTRODUCE YOURSELF?

168
00:47:09.450 --> 00:47:28.050
>> JARED JEFFREYS, DIRTOR OF COMMUNITY SAFETY. SO YOUR FIRST POINT ABOUT THE BCR REFERENCE, I THINK THAT WAS IN THE JAQ OR THE JOB DESCRIPTION ITSELF. I THINK THAT REFERENCE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE IT FORMALLY FINDING A HOME WITHIN A CITY

169
00:47:28.050 --> 00:47:42.600
DEPARTMENT, NOT ACTUALLY BEING BROUGHT IN HOUSE. SORRY, I KNOW WHAT'S ON THERE, BUT I'M TELLING YOU WHAT I THINK THAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE. BECAUSE THE CITY IS MOVING TOWARDS CONTINUING A CONTRACTUAL SERVICE, SO THERE IS NO CHANGE TO WHAT THE STATUS QUO IS THERE.

170
00:47:42.600 --> 00:48:00.050
>> THAT'S SO HELPFUL, DEPUTY COMMISSIONER. WHAT I STRUGGLE WITH THEN IS IF THE BASIS OF THIS REEVALUATION IS AN EXPANSION OF ROLE, THAT INCLUDES BRINGING A PROGRAM IN HOUSE, AND THAT IS THE BASIS FOR

171
00:48:00.050 --> 00:48:18.133
THIS INCREASE IN SALARY, THEN THAT TELLS ME THAT IF YOU ARE RIGHT NOW PURSUING THE CONTINUATION OF THE CONTRACT FOR THE BEHAVIORAL CRISIS RESPONSE TEAM, THIS IS AN INAPPROPRIATE TIME TO DO AN INCREASE TO SALARY BECAUSE IT IS NOT WARRANTED.

172
00:48:18.133 --> 00:48:35.016
YOUR JUSTIFICATION IS A THING THAT IS NOT HAPPENING. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? >> IT DOES, COUNCIL MEMBER. AND IHINK THE RATIONALE IS STILL THAT THE CITY HAS PLACED THE BEHAVIORAL CRISIS PROGRAM IN THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. AND THAT IS SIGNIFICANT

173
00:48:35.016 --> 00:48:51.166
OVERSIGHT OF A CRITICAL PROGRAM FOR THE CITY. SO NO MATTER WHETHER IT IS A CONTRACT OR WHETHER YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT STAFF, THAT IS AN ADDITIONAL RESPONSIBILITY THAT JUSTIFIES THAT. I MEAN THAT IS ONE OF THE CITY'S KEYSTONE 911 RESPONSES. >> SURE.

174
00:48:51.166 --> 00:49:07.100
I MEAN I APPRECIATE THAT THAT'S YOUR PERECTIVE ON IT. I'M JUST SAYINGHAT THE EXTERNAL VENDOR THAT COMPLETED THIS ASSESSMENT REACHED THE CONCLUSION ON THE BASISF THE EXPANSION AND THE BRINGING OF

175
00:49:07.100 --> 00:49:23.416
THE BEHAVIORAL CRISIS RESPONSE TEAM IN HOUSE. SO THAT'S CERTAINLY NOT SUPPORT DONE ON IT. SO AMY AND I WOULD RECOMMEND YOU COME BACK -- I MEAN I WOULD RECOMMEND YOU COME BACK WHEN YOU

176
00:49:23.416 --> 00:49:39.733
WANT TO BRING THIS PROGRAM IN HOUSE WHEN AN INCREASED SALARY FOR THE FIRE CHIEF WOULD BE MORE APPROPRIATE. >> I COMPLETELY HEAR YOU, COUNCIL MEMBER. I THINK THE POINT ON THE TIMING TOO IS THAT WE ARE ACTIVELY HIRING FOR A FIRE CHIEF. AND JUST ON THE MARKET STUDY ITSELF THAT WE ARE BEHIND OTHER

177
00:49:39.733 --> 00:49:55.883
PEER JURISDICTIONS. SO I HEAR YOU, I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. AND THEN, BRENDA, DID YOU WANT TO ANSWER THE QUESTION -- ON THE BUDGET IMPACT, I WOULD HAVE TO

178
00:49:55.883 --> 00:50:12.200
SPEAK TO THE NUMBER, THE DIFFERENCE, THE NEXUS BETWEEN WHAT IT WAS PREVIOUSLY IN THE NEW PROPOSED. BUT MY RECOLLECTION IS WE'RE TALKING BETWEEN $10,000 AND $20,000 LOOKING AT MY HR

179
00:50:12.200 --> 00:50:30.683
COEAGUES HERE. >> WELCOME BACK, MS. MILLER. >> COUNCILMEMBER CHUGHTAI, THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE FIRE CHIEF CURRENT SALARY AND THE

180
00:50:30.683 --> 00:50:48.866
PROPOSED SALARY IS ABOUT $25,000 TO $26,000. >> OKAY. AND WHERE IS THAT GOING TO BE PAID FOR CURRENTLY? >> I THINK THAT WILL HAVE TO BE PART OF THE BUDGE RECALCULATIONS THAT ANY

181
00:50:48.866 --> 00:51:05.950
DEPARTMENT HAS TO DO AND LONG TERM. SO FOR THIS YEAR, IT WILL HAVE TO BE EATEN THROUGH, IT WILL HAVE TO BE RECONCILED THROUGH THE BUDGET AND CORRECTING IT FOR 2027 AND BEYOND. I THINK THAT IS USUALLY WHAT WE HAVE TO DO ANYTIME WE DO ONE OF

182
00:51:05.950 --> 00:51:22.966
THESE RECLASSIFICATIONS. >> CERTAINLY. I JUST THINK THE FIRE DEPARTMENT IS IN A UNIQUE POSITION WHERE IT'S A FULLY STAFFED DEPARTMENT. THERE AREN'T SALARY SAVINGS TO LOOK TO. THERE ISN'T A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF CONTRACTUAL SERVICES DOLLARS THAT DON'T GET USED. WHERE IS THE MONEY TO PAY FOR

183
00:51:22.966 --> 00:51:38.450
IT? THERE JUST ISN'T. SO YOU'RE GOING TO RUN OVER BUDGET AND COMBINE BOTH THAT, THE JUSTIFICATION FOR THE INCREASE IS NOT WARRANTED AT THIS TIME GIVEN THAT YOU ARE

184
00:51:38.450 --> 00:51:54.400
CONTINUING A SERVICE VIA A CONTRACT. AND THAT THERE IS NO FLEXIBILITY WITHIN THE FIRE DEPARTMENT'S BUDGET TO ABSORB THIS COST, SO IT IS GOING TO COME OUT OF FUND BALANCE, I DON'T KNOW. WHERE ARE YOU PROPOSING TO PAY FOR IT?

185
00:51:54.400 --> 00:52:11.583
THERE ISN'TEALLY A PLACE. SO I THINK WITH THAT, I WOULD MOVE TO RETURN THIS ITEM BACK TO STAFF. >> COUNCILMEMBER WHITING. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR CHOWDHURY. DEPUTY COMMISSIONER, IF YOU WANTED TO STAY UP THERE, I KNOW

186
00:52:11.583 --> 00:52:29.000
YOU'RE PROBABLY COMING ON BACK. MAYBE HAVE AN IDEA YOU TAKE IT OUT OF MY BROTHER-IN-LAW'S SALARY. JUST A FEW QUESTIONS HERE, MY ASSUMPTION AND UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THERE IS A VERSION OF THIS THAT IS MOVING FORWARD, THE

187
00:52:29.000 --> 00:52:45.183
INCREASE IN THE SALARY HERE FOR OUR FIRE CHIEF PARTICULARLY BECAUSE WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF LOOKING FOR FILLING THAT ROLE RIGHT NOW. IS THAT CORRECT UNDERSTANDING? >> CHAIR CHOWDHURY, COUNCILMEMBER WHITING, YES, THAT IS CORRECT. THE POSTING FOR THE FIRE CHIEF

188
00:52:45.183 --> 00:53:00.633
SEARCH IS A NATIONAL POSTING CURRENTLY OUT THERE, YES. >> AND IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE ABOUT 13% BEHIND SIMILARLY SITUATED CITIES? >> I BELIEVE THAT IS CORRECT AS WELL. >> PERFECT. CAN YOU GIVE US A LITTLE BIT OF AN UPDATE ON KIND OF THAT SEARCH PROCESS RIGHT NOW?

189
00:53:00.633 --> 00:53:17.683
>> YES, ABSOLUTELY. SO COMMENSURATE WITH WHAT WE HAVE DONE WITH OTHER KEY DEPARTMENT HEAD SEARCHES, WE HAVE ENGAGED A NATIONAL FIRM TO HELP US FIND KEY LEADERS IN THE SPACE KNOWING THAT OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF OUR COMMUNITY SAFETY

190
00:53:17.683 --> 00:53:33.466
ECOSYSTEM, ESPECIALLY NOW OVERSEEING THE CRISIS RESPONS PROGRAM. AND SO WE'VE ENGAGED WITH AN EXECUTIVE SEARCH FIRM THAT SPECIALIZES IN PUBLICAFETY TYPES OF ROLES. SO THAT IS WHERE WE'RE AT AND THEY'VE HELPED US DEVEL THAT

191
00:53:33.466 --> 00:53:50.033
POSTING AND IT'S NOW ACTIVELY TAKING APPLICATIONS. >> PERFECT. AND I GUESS, THIS WOULD BE A LITTLE BIT HARDER, MAYBE MORE OF AN INVESTMENT. WHEN IS THE HOPE OF FILLING THAT ROLE? >> COUNCIL MEMBER, TO THE QUESTION ON TIMING, I THINK WHAT

192
00:53:50.033 --> 00:54:06.183
WE PROJECTED IS KEEPING THE POSTING OPEN ABOUT FOUR WEEKS. AND I THINK WE'RE ABOUT HALFWAY THROUGH NOW THAT TIME PERIOD. AND THEN YOU WOULD HAVE AN INTERNAL GROUP OF INTERVIEW PANELS WITH CERTAIN MEMBERS OF THE OCS DEPARTMENTS AND AROUND THE ENTERPRISE TO GO THROUGH THAT.

193
00:54:06.183 --> 00:54:22.533
I THINK WE'D PROBABLY PROJECT HAVING A CANDIDATE SELECTED, I WANT TO SAY PROBABLY IN Q2 OR Q3 AND MOVING IT THROUGH COUNCIL SINCE THAT POSITION IS SUBJECT TO COUNCIL APPROVAL.

194
00:54:22.533 --> 00:54:38.383
>> I KNOW IN CONVERSATIONS WITH MFD FIRE UNION AS WELL, THEY WANT TO BE INCLUDED IN THOSE CONVERSATIONS. I'M SUREHAT'S PROBABLY HAPPENING, BUT JUST KIND OF ADVOCATING ON THEIR BEHALF AS WELL. >> ABSOLUTELY, COUNCIL MEMBER. >> THANK YOU. >> COUNCILMEMBER WONSLEY.

195
00:54:38.383 --> 00:54:55.133
>> THANK YOU, CHAIR CHOWDHURY. I ALSO WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO COUNCILMEMBER CHUGHTAI FOR RAISING SOME OF THE POINTS REFERENCED IN THE REPORT THAT ACTUALLY I OVERLOOKED MYSELF IN TERMS OF THE JUSTIFICATION FOR THIS INCREASE FOR THE FIRE CHIEF POSITION WHICH I THINK ON THE

196
00:54:55.133 --> 00:55:10.483
BASIS IS ACTUALLY FINE. BUT THAT IT'S BEING PLACED IN A NONEXISTENT THING. SO FAR THIS BODY HAS FOUGHT TOOTH AND NAIL OR A MAJORITY OF COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE HAD TO USE

197
00:55:10.483 --> 00:55:26.866
EACH BUDGET CYCLE TO FIGHT TOOTH AND NAIL TO GET ADEQUATE FUNDING FOR BCR AS ITS STANDING. AND EVEN TO GET APPROPRIATE IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS PROGRAM WHICH IS WHY WE HAD TO MOVE IT FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD SAFETY DEPARTMENT TO THE FIRE

198
00:55:26.866 --> 00:55:43.516
DEPARTMENT IN THEIRST PLACE BECAUSE OCS WAS NOT DOING EFFECTIVE OVERSIGHT WITH THAT PARTICULAR PROGRAM. ASHE DEPUTY JUST HIGHLIGHTED IS ONE OF OUR KEY CORNERSTONE SAFETY SERVICES AND PROGRAMS THAT HAS TREMENDOUSLY HELPED TH GENERAL.

199
00:55:43.516 --> 00:56:00.000
SO THERE HAS BEEN A BIG BASIS OF DOING EVERYTHING THAT WE CAN TO JUST PRESERVE THE PROGRAM AS IT CURRENTLY STANDS. I THINK A NUMBER OF WOULD LOVE TO SEE THE EXPANSION. THIS IS WHY I KNOW COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE BROUGHT FUNDING PROPOSALS TO ADD ADDITNAL EQUIPMENT THROUGH TRUCKS AND

200
00:56:00.000 --> 00:56:16.483
THINGS OF THAT NATURE AND EVEN TO SPORT STAFFING OR PERSONNEL NEEDS RELATED TO THE CONTRACT. BUT THIS IS THE FIRST POINT THAT WE'VE EVER HEARD OF AN INTENT TO NOT ONLY JUST BRING THIS IN HOUSE, BUT QUOTE UNQUOTE EXPAND IT AND THERE'S NO LEGITIMATE PROPOSAL THAT'S BEEN BROUGHT ON

201
00:56:16.483 --> 00:56:32.133
THE TABLE. AND IT FEELS WEIRD TO BE BLIND SIDED WITH THAT WITH A REQUEST FOR A SALARY INCREASE FOR WORK THAT HAS NOT BEEN ADVANCED BY THE OFFICE OF COMMUNITY SAFETY. I WOULD SAY IN MAKING THE MOTION

202
00:56:32.133 --> 00:56:47.750
TO FORWARD THIS WITHOUT RECOMMENDATION TO THURSDAY, I WOULD LOVE TO CONNECT WITH COUNCILMEMBER CHUGHTAI TO SEE ACTUALLY COUNCILMEMBER PALMISANO BROUGHT FORWARD DURING LAST BUDGET CYCLE A SUPPLEMENTAL BEHAVIORAL CRISIS RESPONSE

203
00:56:47.750 --> 00:57:04.100
FUNDING LEGISLATIVE DIRECTIVE THAT IS SUPPOSED TO COME BACK JUNE 11, 2026, TO THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY COMMITTEE. I THINK THAT MIGHT BE A GOOD PLACE TO EDIT THAT LEGISLATIVE DIRECTIVE TO HAVE OCS DO THE HOMEWORK THEY'VE DONE AROUND

204
00:57:04.100 --> 00:57:20.250
SUGGESTING PUTTING IT IN THIS REPORT S WE CAN HAVE A SENSE OF THAT BEFORE WE'RE GOING AGAINST BUDGET DISCUSSIONS. AS OPPOSED TO SAYING SUPPORT THE INCREASE FOR THIS POSITION AND ACTUALLY YOU ALL DO NONE OF THE WORK TO MAKE THAT EXPANSION HAPPEN OR A LEGITIMATE THING. SO I WOULD LOVE TO CONNECT WITH

205
00:57:20.250 --> 00:57:37.866
OTHER COLLEAGUES WHO WOULD BE INTERESTED IN BRINGING MAYBE AN EDIT TO THAT LEGISLATIVE DIRECTIVE THAT'S ALREADY IN MOTION THAT DEPARTMENTS ARE ALREADY WORKING ON SO THAT WE CAN GET THAT INFORMATION BECAUSE I ABSOLUTELY AGREE THAT IT MAKES NO SENSE TO BRING SOMETHING THAT'S NOT FACTUAL AS A MEANS TO

206
00:57:37.866 --> 00:57:54.216
JUSTIFY I THINK THERE IS A SHARED AGREEMENT. WE WOULD LOVE TO SEE OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT OR LEADERSHIP BE ADEQUATELY PAID. BUT LET'S NOT BASE IT ON NONFACTUAL DETAILS AND TO

207
00:57:54.216 --> 00:58:12.633
SUPPORT A PROGRAM THAT A NUMBER OF US HAVE HAD TO FIGHT TO KEEP AS PART OF OUR SAFETY SERVICES OVERALL. WANTED TO NAME THAT AS ALSO A POTENTIAL PATHWAY FORWARD. >> COUNCILMEMBER STEVENSON. >> YEAH, I HAVE A QUESTION FOR

208
00:58:12.633 --> 00:58:28.483
YOU. THE JOB IS ALREADY POSTED. IS IT POSTED AT THE SALARY RAPING YOU'RE REQUESTING OR POSTED AT THE CURRENT SALARY RANGE? >> CHAIR CHOWDHURY, COUNCILMEMBER STEVENSON, IT IS AT THE CURRENT SALARY RANGE.

209
00:58:28.483 --> 00:58:45.300
>> OKAY. DO WE HAVE APPLICATIONS IN FOR THAT? >> I BELIEVE WE DO. WE'VE BEEN GETTING APPLICATIONS, YES. >> THAT WOULD MAKE IT SEEM LIKE PEOPLE WANT THE JOB AT THE CURRENT SALARY RANGE WHICH SAYS ENOUGH TO ME. JUST AS A COMMENT AND THEN I'LL PASS IT BACK. CITY, WE ARE OVERPAYING OUR TOP

210
00:58:45.300 --> 00:59:01.550
STAFF SO MUCH. WE DON'T NEED TO BE PAYING OUR TOP STAFF SO MUCH. WE'RE IN A BUDGET CRISIS RIGHT NOW. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE HARD YEARS IN FRONT OF US. WE DON'T NEED TO BE PAYING OUR CHIEFS, OUR COMMISSIONERS, OURSELVES AS MUCH AS WE ARE AND WE GOT TO STOP THE INCREASE. THIS COMES DIRECTLY OUT OF THE

211
00:59:01.550 --> 00:59:19.866
POCKETS OF OUR FRONT LINE WORKERS, FIREFIGHTERS THEMSELVES, PUBLIC WORKS, EVERYONE. SO YEAH, WE SHOULD NOT BE INCREASING THE SALARY. THANK YOU. >> I HAVE MYSELF ON QUEUE.

212
00:59:19.866 --> 00:59:36.750
SO I AM SURPRISED TO SEE THAT ERE'S AN ANNOUNCEMENT OF BRINGING BEHAVIORAL CRISIS RESPONSE IN HOUSE TO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT THROUGH THIS JOB CLASSIFICATION WORKSHEET. I THINK WE CAN AGREE THAT THAT'S NOT HOW WE WANT TO MAKE ANNOUNCEMENTS OR DECISIONS TO THE PUBLIC.

213
00:59:36.750 --> 00:59:54.266
THAT'S NOT A GOOD PRACTICE OF GOVERNANCE. THAT'S A MAJOR DEPARTMENTAL CHANGE. SO I THINK THAT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED. AND I THINK THAT THERE IS A REAL BASIS IN MY VIEW FOR AN INCREASE TO THE SALARY. WE POINTED OUT MARKET CONDITIONS

214
00:59:54.266 --> 01:00:11.350
AND COMPARING IT TO OTHER CITIES. WE ALSO KNOW THAT THERE IS A HIGHER DEMAND OF WORK THAT EXISTS IN THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. THERE'S BEEN AN INCREASE OF CALLS TO FIRE STATIONS STEADILY OVER THE YEARS WITH THE SAME AMOUNT OF STAFF OVER TIME. SO WITH THAT, I DO HAVE A

215
01:00:11.350 --> 01:00:27.166
QUESTION FOR THE DEPUTY JARED JEFFREYS IF YOU DON'T MIND COMING BACK UP. THANK YOU. WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO REWO

216
01:00:27.166 --> 01:00:44.783
THIS FIRE CHIEF CLASSIFICATION WORKSHEET AND TAKE OUT THE PORTIONS THAT NAME BEHAVIORAL CRISIS RESPONSE AS THE REASON FOR THE NEED OF THE INCREASE? AND THE PORTION ALSO ABOUT BRINGING BEHAVIORAL CRISIS RESPONSE IN HOUSE SO WE CAN

217
01:00:44.783 --> 01:01:01.750
ACTUALLY HAVE A DISCUSSION AS A CITY AND BRING FWARD THE MANY OTHER REASONS WHY THERE'S A REASON TO INCREASE SALARY AND ANGE THE GRADING? >> CHAIR CHOWDHURY, I'LL ANSWER IT IN TWO PARTS. DEFINILY WOULD BE WILLING TO

218
01:01:01.750 --> 01:01:18.300
TAKE BACK THE PART ABOUT BCR COMING IN HOUSE, BECAUSE THAT'S FACTUALLY INCORRECT AND MAKE SURE THAT THAT IS ACCURATELY REFLECTED IN THE ANALYSIS DONE BY THE EXTERNAL VENDOR FOR THIS CLASSIFICATION. 100%.

219
01:01:18.300 --> 01:01:34.683
ON THE QUESTION ABOUT THE BEHAVIORAL CRISIS RESPONSE PROGRAM BEING LISTED AS A FACTOR IN THI FIRE CHIEF'S SALARY, I DO THINK THAT SHOULD REMAIN. AND I SAY THAT BASED ON THE LAST TWO YEARS OF EXPERIENCE WORKING PREVIOUSLY WITH THE CHIEF AND NOW WITH CHIEF RUCKER, THE

220
01:01:34.683 --> 01:01:52.066
AMOUNT OF WORK THAT THE FIRE LEADERSHIP, IN PARTICULAR THE FIRE CHIEF, HAS TO DO IN HELPING ADMINISTER THAT PROGRAM, IT IS SIGNIFICANT. AND I THINK JUST FROM THAT, WE AS THE PROFESSIONAL STAFF WOULD RECOMMEND THAT THAT BE PART OF THE CONSIDERATION FOR THE FIRE

221
01:01:52.066 --> 01:02:09.516
CHIEF'S SALARY. >> YOU ALSO MAKE OTHER UPDATES AS TO WHY THIS IS NEEDED? >> I'M SORRY? >> THE INCREASE IN SALARY. I THINK AS COUNCILMEMBER CHUGHTAI POINTED OUT, TO HER AND TO ME BCR BECOMES ONE OF THE

222
01:02:09.516 --> 01:02:25.166
CENTERPIECES FOR THE INCREASE IN SALARY, AND IT DOES NOT SEEM TO BE THE MAIN CENTERPIECE ALONE. >> YEAH, I CAN'T SPEAK, I'M NOT AN HR SPECIALIST, CLASSIFICATION SPECIALIST, I CAN'T SAY WHAT THE

223
01:02:25.166 --> 01:02:43.983
WEIGHT WAS OF BCR VERSUS THE MARKET STUDY. BUT THAT WAS SOMETHING WE DID DISCUSS IN OUR CONSULTATION WITH THE CLASSIFICATION SPECIALIST WAS THAT THIS IS A FACTOR. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE WEIGHT WAS GIVEN TO THAT FACTOR THOUGH. >> OKAY. AND THEN I'LL ALSO JUST NOTE, I

224
01:02:43.983 --> 01:02:59.866
THINK THIS IS LESS ON THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, MORE ON OCS BECAUSE THIS IS WHERE I SOUGHT THIS INFORMATION OUT. LIKE IF OVERSIGHT OF BCR IS SO A PART OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND THEN ALSO OCS, I SOUGHT OUT IN EARLY NOVEMBER, I THINK IT WAS

225
01:02:59.866 --> 01:03:18.183
THE 1st OF NOVEMBER FOR JUST BASIC CONTRACT INFORMATION WITH CANOPY ROOTS. AND I HAVE HAD TO FOLLOW UP SEVERAL TIMES WITH THE OFFICE OF COMMUNITY SAFETY, SEVERAL, SEVERAL TIMES. AND STILL HAVE NOT GOTTEN THAT BASIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE

226
01:03:18.183 --> 01:03:34.266
CONTRACT. AND SO, I THINK IF BEHAVIORAL CRISIS RESPONSE IS A CENTERPIECE OF THIS WORK, THAT IS SOMETHING AS A RESPONSE TO ME IS -- AS SOMEONE WHO DOES OVERSIGHT WORK, THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN

227
01:03:34.266 --> 01:03:50.083
APPRIATED. I DO APPRECIATE THE FIRE CHIEF BEING ONE OF THE ONLY INDIVIDUALS THAT PULLED ME IDE TO HAVE A CONVERSATION ABOUT IT AND SAYING THAT IT'S OCS LEADERSHIP THAT WILL GET ME THAT INFORMATION. BUT I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THAT INFORMATION JUST ABOUT THE BCR

228
01:03:50.083 --> 01:04:06.866
CANOPY ROOTS CONTRACT SINCE NOVEMBER OF LAST YEAR. SO I JUST WANTED TO MAKE THAT COMMENT SINCE WE'RE DISCUING THE RELATIONSHIP OF BCR TO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. THAT'S ALL I HAVE FOR MY COMMENTS.

229
01:04:06.866 --> 01:04:24.516
I WILL GO TO COUNCILMEMBER PALMISANO. >> CHIEF POSITIONS CHANGE OVER TIME. THE EXPECTATIONS THAT I HAD ARE NOT THE SAME JUST A FEW CYCLES LATER. THEY'RE VERY DIFFERENT IN FACT. AND A BIG ONE WAS POINTED OUT

230
01:04:24.516 --> 01:04:40.500
WITH THE ADDING IN, FOLDING IN OF BCR. I HAVE NEEDED THE CHIEF HERSELF INVOLVED IN SOME OF THE MOST BASIC CONSTITUENT NEEDS WITH BC THIS PAST WINTER. I APPRECIATE HER ATTENTION TO TH. IF YOU WANT MORE INFORMATION

231
01:04:40.500 --> 01:04:57.850
ABOUT HOW THIS JOB HAS CHANGED, I THINK THAT'S FAIR. BUT I DON'T SEE THIS AS INCONSISTENT WITH WHAT WE DID IN THE BUDGET JUST A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. THIS TYPE OF A SITUATION AS WE LOOK AND WE TRY TO DO NATIONAL SEARCHES FOR CHIEFS, FOR PEOPLE

232
01:04:57.850 --> 01:05:14.500
WHO HAVE SWORN TYPES OF POSITIONS IS ROUTINE. IT'S EXPECTED. IT'S TYPICAL. WE'RE HIRING. IN ORDER TO DO THAT, WE NEED AN ACCURATE JOB DESCRIPTION WHICH I TRUST THAT STAFF DOES, BUT WE ALSO NEED TO BE ATTRACTING CANDIDATES WITH A FAIR AND UPDATED SALARY RANGE.

233
01:05:14.500 --> 01:05:30.616
WE DO THIS TO OURSELVES IN OUR OWN POSITIONS, THAT'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT BECAUSE IT'S GOVERNED BY STATE LAW. BUT IT IS DURING THE TURNOVER THAT THINGS GET READJUSTED. AND I THINK WE NEED TO DO THAT HERE. >> COUNCILMEMBER VETAW. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR.

234
01:05:30.616 --> 01:05:47.233
I JUST HAD SOME QUESTIONS FOR CLARIFICATION THEN A COMMENT. BECAUSE I READ THE RCA A LITTLE DIFFERENT. I INTERPRETED IN HOUSE AS INSIDE TH FIRE DEPARTMENT. SO THAT THE BCR HAD BEEN MOVED INTO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND

235
01:05:47.233 --> 01:06:06.300
THERE WAS GOING TO BE A RECLASSIFICATION BECAUSE WE MOVED THAT DEPARTMENT AND WE HAVEN'T LOOKED AT THE FIRE CHIEF'S IMPACT OR THE ROLE THAT THEY PLAY IN THAT. DEPUTY JEFFREYS, CAN YOU COME

236
01:06:06.300 --> 01:06:24.983
UP? PLEASE. I KNOW YOU SAID THAT THERE'S NO BCR, IT'S NOT GOING ANYWHERE, IT'S NOT CHANGING IN HOUSE. I INTERPRETED THE WORD DIFFERENT THAN SOME OF MY COLLEAGUES HAVE AND I KNOW YOU STATED THAT LIT BUT I GUESS WHAT I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND IS THIS

237
01:06:24.983 --> 01:06:40.166
RECLASSIFICATION IS HAPPENING BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T RECLASSIFIED THIS JOB SINCE THE BCR HAS BEEN A PART OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. AND SO NOW WE'RE LOOKING AT THE IMPACT ON THE CHIEF'S POSITION AND DOING A RECLASSIFICATION? >> CHAIR CHOWDHURY,

238
01:06:40.166 --> 01:06:57.216
COUNCILMEMBER VETAW, YES,HAT IS CORRECT. IT IS AS I SAID BEFORE FACTORS INCLUDING BCR BEING MOVED INTO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, BUT ALSO JUST THAT THE POSITION IS LAGGING BEHIND OTHER COMPETITIVE JURISDICTIONS AS WELL. >> SO THE 13% IS JUST THE

239
01:06:57.216 --> 01:07:14.033
POSITION IN ITSELF, NOT EVEN INCLUDING THAT THE BCR IS AN ADDITIONAL DEPARTMENT THAT LOTS OF FIRE DEPARTMENTS DON'T EVEN HAVE? >> COUNCILMEMBER VETAW, ADDING BCR INTO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS A FACTOR IN ADDITION TO THE

240
01:07:14.033 --> 01:07:29.650
SALARY STUDY THAT WE DID LAST YEAR. >> SO YOU DID THE SALARY STUDY, YOU PUT IN A NEW ROLE AND LOOKED AT FIRE PARTMENTS THAT HAVE SIMILAR ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES AND WE CAME UP 13% SHORT? >> THAT IS CORRECT, COUNCIL MEMBER. >> OKAY, THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE THAT.

241
01:07:29.650 --> 01:07:45.466
I THINK MY COMMENTS ARE REALLY CENTERED AROUND HOW EXCITED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT HAS BEEN IN MY EXPERIENCE TO HAVE THE BCR AS A PART OF THE TEAM. THEY WERE VERY WELCOMING TO THE BCR.

242
01:07:45.466 --> 01:08:02.716
I TALKED TO CHIEF RUCKER A LOT AND STAFF IN THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WHO WORK WELL WITH THE BCR AND THEY'VE BEEN WORNG TOGETHER ON LOTS OF THINGS. I GET UPDATES ALL THE TIME WHEN I ASK FOLKS JUST IN PASSING, HOW

243
01:08:02.716 --> 01:08:19.033
ARE THINGS GOING? HOW'S THE COLLABORATION WORKING? AND I THINK IT'S OKAY TO NOW LOOK AT HOW MUCH OF AN IMPACT THIS HAS ON THE CHIEF'S ROLE SINCE WE'RE LOOKING FOR A NEW CHIEF AND WE'RE ASKING THIS PERSON TO COME IN AND MANAGE THIS FIRE DEPARTMENT IN THE WAY

244
01:08:19.033 --> 01:08:34.883
THAT THIS BODY ELECTED. WE CHOSE TO MOVE THE BCR OVER. WHETHER WE LIKE IT O NOT, IT IS CERTAINLY A FACTOR IN THE JOB AND HOW MUCH A PERSON IS PAID TO DO THIS WORK. IT'S EASY TO SAY THAT SOMEONE

245
01:08:34.883 --> 01:08:52.133
SHOULDN'T GET A RAISE BECAUSE YOU JUST DON'T THINK THEY SHOULD OR I MEAN IT'S SMART TO THINK OF THE GREAT WORK WE WANT TO COME OUT OF THIS CHIEF. WHO WE WANT TO ATTRACT AS THE NEXT FIRE CHIEF. AND I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHY A

246
01:08:52.133 --> 01:09:09.650
$25,000 RAISE IS WHAT I'M BEING TOLD IS 13% LESS THAN WHAT OTHERS ARE DOING IS THIS INTENSE OF A CONVERSATION. I MEAN WE WANT THE BEST. WE WANT THEM TO MANAGE THIS PROJECT. WE WANT THEM TO MANAGE OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT. I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND THE

247
01:09:09.650 --> 01:09:26.966
BUDGET IMPLICATIONS LATER ON. BUT I THINK WE HAVE A PLAN TO FIGURE THIS OUT IN THE FUTURE. AND NOBODY WANTS TO BE FACED WITH THIS SORT OF A DECISION WHEN THE NUMBER SAYS $200,000

248
01:09:26.966 --> 01:09:43.800
ALREADY FOR THIS POSITION, B YOU CERTAINLY DO ATTRACT PEOPLE BY CHANGING THE $25,000. IF THERE'S ANOTHER CITY THAT'S PAYING $50,000 MORE, I MEAN WE'RE GETTING RIGHT ON TRACK HERE. WE'RE NOT GOING ABOVE WHAT OTHER MARKETS ARE PAYING, WE'RE LIKE

249
01:09:43.800 --> 01:09:59.700
ON TRACK NOW AT THIS POINT. SO MY ASSUMPTION IS THAT WE'RE BASICALLY ON THE LOW SIDE IF WE'RE JUST GETTING TO THE 13%. AND SO I PERSONALLY WOULD LIKE TO BE ON THE HIGH SIDE. BUT IF WE'RE JUST MAKING IT THERE, THAS OKAY.

250
01:09:59.700 --> 01:10:17.133
IT'S OKAY FOR US TO GIVE THE $25,000 RAISE AT THIS TIME BECAUSE WE NEED TO RECLASSIFY. AND THEN LOOK AT LATER IF SOMEONE ELSE IS CHANGING IN ALL DEPARTMENTS, THIS HAPPENS, THIS COMES UP. THINGS CHANGE, THINGS HAPPEN.

251
01:10:17.133 --> 01:10:34.100
BUT I DON'T THINK ANY OF US ARE COMMITTED TO MAKING SURE, I THINK ALL OF US ARE COMMITTED TO MAKING SURE THAT THE BCR HAS A HOME IN THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND I THINK IT'S JUST TWO SEPARATE THINGS TO LOOK AT AND TO EVALUATE IN THIS MATTER WITH THIS POSITION.

252
01:10:34.100 --> 01:10:51.100
BECAUSE IT IS THERE. HOW LONG IS THE CONTRACT? IS IT STILL TWO MORE YEARS? THE END OF THIS YEAR? AUGUST. OKAY, SO THAT CONTRACT WILL COME BEFORE US AND I THINK THEN THAT'S THE OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO DECIDE ON IF IT'S STAYING IN THE

253
01:10:51.100 --> 01:11:08.500
FIRE DEPARTMENT OR WHEREVER IT IS. I DON'T THINK THE TWO THINGS NEED TO BE PITTED AGAINST EACH OTHER KIND OF SORT OF. OR LIKE THE CHIEF AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT HAVE TO HOLD IT FOR THE NEW PERSON TO GET A RAISE. THANK YOU. >> COUNCILMEMBER CHUGHTAI. >> THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.

254
01:11:08.500 --> 01:11:26.266
JUST ANOTHER QUESTION FOR STAFF. LOOKING AT THE BUDGET BOOK AND I SEE THAT THERE ARE 441 FTE'S ASSIGNED TO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. I'M LOOKING AT THE JAQ AND THERE ARE 90 POINTS WEIGHED FOR THIS

255
01:11:26.266 --> 01:11:43.700
RECLASSIFICATION BASED ON A STAFFING AT 476 PLUS. SO I'M JUST WONDERING IF SOMEONE CAN SPEAK TO THE 35 FTE DISCREPANCY BETWEEN WHAT THE DEPARTMENT HAS ACTUALLY ALLOCATED AND THE CHIEF IS

256
01:11:43.700 --> 01:12:02.066
OVERSEEING AND WHAT IS LISTED HERE. LIKE WHO'S 35 FTE'S IS THE FIRE CHIEF SUDDENLY OVERSEEING? >> COUNCILMEMBER CHOWDHURY,

257
01:12:02.066 --> 01:12:18.633
CHR CHOWDHURY, COUNCILMEMBER CHUGHTAI, I THINK ON THAT AGAIN I HAVET REVIEWED THAT, BUT I THINK, I'M NOT SURE WHERE THAT EXTRA 30 IS COMING FROM. THAT IS AGAIN SOMETHING WE HAVE TO LOOK AT. YES. >> WELL, I REALLY APPRECIATE

258
01:12:18.633 --> 01:12:34.266
THAT, MR. JEFFREYS. AND AGAIN, I THINK JUST REITERATES FOR ME THE IMPORTANCE OF SENDING THIS BACK TO STAFF SO THAT THE WORK CAN PROPERLY BE COMPLETED BEFORE IT IS COMING BEFORE THEODY FOR APPROVAL. THANK YOU. >> I THINK WE JUST NEED CLARITY ON THE MOTION THAT'S ON THE FLOOR.

259
01:12:34.266 --> 01:12:51.366
>> I MADE A MOTION TO SEND THI ITEM BACK TO STAFF. >> OKAY. IS THERE A SECOND ON THAT? >> SECOND. >> ALL RIGHT. COUNCILMEMBER RAVILLE. >> THANK YOU. THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF QUESTIONS

260
01:12:51.366 --> 01:13:14.600
RAISED ABOUT OVERTIME AND COULD SOMEONE SPEAK TO WHERE WE'RE AT WITH OVERTIME FOR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT? AND PERHAPS HOW THE SHORTAGE OF FIREFIGHTERS AFFECTS THAT

261
01:13:14.600 --> 01:13:30.666
OVTIME? >> GOOD MORNING, CHAIR. THROUGH THE CHAIR, COUNCILMEMBER RAINVILLE -- >> COULD YOU INTRODUCE YOURSELF. >> YES, SORRY ABOUT THAT. MY NAME IS TODD BARNETT, COMMISSIONER OF COMMUNITY SAFETY. I HAVE MET WITH FIRE DEPARTMENT

262
01:13:30.666 --> 01:13:47.483
LEADERSHIP I THINK IT WAS MAYBE LAST WEEK TO TALK ABOUT OVERTIME. NORMALLY FOR THE MONTH OF JANUARY THAT'S USUALLY THE

263
01:13:47.483 --> 01:14:04.983
LOWEST TIME FOR THEIR OVERTIME. AND IT HAPPENED TO BE PRETTY HIGH. WE'RE ON PACE I THINK RIGHT NOW, WE DON'T HAVE THE ESTIMATES EXACTLY NOW. BUT WE'RE ON PACE TO BE OVER

264
01:14:04.983 --> 01:14:20.216
THAT OVERTIME. WE'RE VERY CLOSE. BECAUSE OF METRO SURGE AND BECAUSE OF THE NUMBER OF LEAVES THAT HAVE TAKEN PLACE. THERE ARE SEVERAL DIFFERENT TYPES OF LEAVE THAT THE FIRE

265
01:14:20.216 --> 01:14:37.450
DEPARTMENT IS DEALING WITH. WE HAVE LEAVES FOR PSD, WE HAVE LEAVES FOR INJURIES. WE ALSO HAVE LEAVES FOR FMLA AND PFMLA. IF YOU WANT A MORE DETAILED ANSWER TO THE QUESTION, I CAN GET THOSE NUMBERS FOR YOU AND

266
01:14:37.450 --> 01:14:52.950
GET BACK TO YOU. >> YES, THANK YOU. AND I DON'T NEED THOSE ANSWERS TOMORROW OR BEFORE THE MEETING ON THURSDAY. BUT I'M CURIOUS, I KNOW THAT WE AVERAGED ABOUT 32,000 RUNS

267
01:14:52.950 --> 01:15:10.650
IN 2010 AND LAST YEAR WAS 65,000, YET WE HAVE THE SAME IF NOT LESS FIREFIGHTERS. SO I'M JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND DO WE NEED TO BUDGET FOR 20 OR 30 MORE FIREFIGHTERS TO ALLEVIATE THIS OVERTIME

268
01:15:10.650 --> 01:15:25.816
SITUATION? >> THROUGH THE CHAIR, COUNCILMEMBER RAINVILLE, THAT QUESTION WAS SOMETHING THAT WE DISCUSSED LAST WEEK WITH THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. TH PURPOSE OF THAT MEETING WITH THE FIRE DEPARTNT IS TO GET A HANDLE ON THE BUDGET AND WHERE

269
01:15:25.816 --> 01:15:42.250
WE ARE AND LOOK AT THE LEAVES. ALSO THE PURPOSE OF THE MEETING AS COUNCILMEMBER CHUGHTAI AND COUNCILMEMBER SHAFFER KNOW THAT WE'R GOING TO MEET MONTHLY STARTING IN APRIL TO LOOK AT THE DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS AND THEIR BUDGETS.

270
01:15:42.250 --> 01:15:59.183
AND WE'RE PREPARING FOR THOSE MEETINGS TO HAVE A BETTER HANDLE ON WHERE WE ARE. >> THANK YOU. THAT'S GREAT TO KNOW THAT YOU'RE KEEPING AN EYE ON THAT. IN PARTICULAR FOR THIS FIRE DEPARTMENT OVERTIME, IF YOU COULD TAKE THE TIME OR SOMEONE ON YOUR STAFF COULD TAKE THE

271
01:15:59.183 --> 01:16:16.516
TIME TO SPEAK TO US AS COUNCIL MEMBERS ABOUT WHAT WE CAN DO TO ALLEVIATE THAT OVERTIME NEED. >> YES. >> THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. SO I HAVE THE MOTION ON THE FLOOR IS A REFER TO STAFF.

272
01:16:16.516 --> 01:16:31.950
WHICH MEANS IT WOULD GO BACK TO STAFF OUT OF THIS COMMITTEE AND THEN WE WOULD HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THE NEXT COUNCIL MEENG FOR IT TO COME BACK. I AM HEARING THAT THERE IS LIKE A SENSE OF URGENCY TO ME FORWARD ON THIS. AND I'M INCLINED TO CONSIDER THAT.

273
01:16:31.950 --> 01:16:48.416
I KNOW THAT THIS JOB CLASSIFICATION REQUIRED A THIRD PARTY KEYSTONE COMPENSATION GROUP IN ORDER FOR THIS JOB CLASSIFICATION TO BE COMPLETED. IS IT POSSIBLE FOR CHANGES AND

274
01:16:48.416 --> 01:17:04.816
UPDATES TO BE MADE BY THE THURSDAY MEETING AND THIS IS A QUESTION FOR STAFF? OR WOULD YOU NEED TIME TO GO BACK TO KEYSTONE COMPENSATION? WELCOME BACK, MS. MILLER. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR CHOWDHURY.

275
01:17:04.816 --> 01:17:20.816
IT WOULD TAKE PROBABLY A WEEK OR TWO TO GO BACK TO KEYSTONE AND HAVE THEM REVISE THE FINDINGS. >> OKAY. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I JUST NEED TO KNOW. BECAUSE IF IT WAS POSSIBLE IN A DAY OR TWO, THEN I WOULD SUGGEST

276
01:17:20.816 --> 01:17:37.916
WE MOVE IT WITHOUT RECOMMENDATION AND SEE WHAT'S POSSIBLE BY THURSDAY. BUT I DO THINK THAT THERE IS A VERY CLE NEED TO UPDATE THIS JOB CLASSIFICATION. SO I WILL BE SUPPORTING THE MOTION. ARE THERE ANY OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK

277
01:17:37.916 --> 01:17:53.850
TO THIS ITEM? SEEING NONE, AND WITH THE MOTION BEFORE US TO REFER TO STAFF, MAY I HAVE THE CLERK PLEASE CALL THE ROLL. >> COUNCILMEMBER PAYNE. >> AYE. >> WONSLEY. >> AYE. >> RAINVILLE. >> NO.

278
01:17:53.850 --> 01:18:10.050
>> VETAW. >> NO. >> WARREN. >> NO. >> I'M SORRY, WARREN? >> NO. >> OSMAN. >> AYE. >> SHAFFER. >> NO. >> STEVENSON. >> AYE.

279
01:18:10.050 --> 01:18:28.183
>> CHAVEZ. >> AYE. >> WHITING. >> NO. >> PALMISANO. >> NO. >> VICE CHAIR CHUGHTAI. >> AYE. >> CHAIR CHOWDHURY. >> AYE. >> WE HAVE SEVEN AYES AND SEVEN

280
01:18:28.183 --> 01:18:42.783
NAYS. SORRY, SIX NAYS. >> THAT MOTION CARRIES. AND THAT WILL BE REFERRED BACK TO STAFF FOR THOSE UPDATES. I'LL JUST NOTE TO THE CLERKS, YOU ARE COMING VERY QUIET THROUGH YOUR MICS SO JUST SPEAK

281
01:18:42.783 --> 01:19:01.533
A LITTLE BIT LOUDER INTO YOUR MICS. YES, COUNCILMEMBER OSMAN? YOUR MIC IS OFF. >> THE VOTE WE JUST TOOK THAT WAS TO FORWARD WITHOUT

282
01:19:01.533 --> 01:19:17.083
RECOMMENDATION -- >> NO, THAT WAS TO REFER IT BACK TO STAFF BECAUSE THEWOULD NEED ABOUT A WEEK TO UPDATE THE JOB CLASSIFICATION. >> AND DID THEY SAY THEY DIDN'T DO IT UNTIL THURSDAY? >> YES, THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DO IT BY THURSDAY.

283
01:19:17.083 --> 01:19:34.566
CORRECT.>> SOUNDS GOOD. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU, COUNCIL MEMBER. NEXT WE'LL TAKE UP ITEM NUMBER 71 WHICH IS RELATED TO CRITICAL PUBLIC SAFETY EQUIPMENT FOR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. I WILL INVITE COUNCILMEMBER VETAW TO INTRODUCE THIS ITEM.

284
01:19:34.566 --> 01:19:50.900
THANK YOU, CHAIR. THIS AMENDMENT REALLOCATES EX
T EXISTING UNALLOCATED PUBLIC SAFETY FUNDS TO ADDRESS URGENT OPERATIONAL NEEDS WITHIN THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. THIS WILL ALLOW THE DEPARTMENT TO PURCHASE CRITICAL SAFETY

285
01:19:50.900 --> 01:20:07.700
EQUIPMENT ANDURN OUT GEAR TO REPLACE THE CURRENT OUTDATED EQUIPMENT. AND THERE'S STAFF HERE FROM THE FIRE DEPARTMENT IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS. >> COUNCILMEMBER CHAVEZ. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR CHOWDHURY. I'LL BE SUPPORTING THIS PROPOSAL. I THINK IT'S AN IMPORTANT USE

286
01:20:07.700 --> 01:20:25.000
AND ELIGIBLE USE OF OUR PUBLIC SAFETY AID SO JUST WANT TO SPEAK IN FAVOR. >> GREAT. ARE THERE ANY OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS THAT HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR ANY DISCUSSION FOR STAFF TO

287
01:20:25.000 --> 01:20:41.500
SPEAK TO THIS ITEM. I KNOW THERE WAS INTEREST IN AGENDA SETTING TO PULL THIS. BUT IF THERE ISN'T, THAT IS ALL RIGHT TOO. GREAT. MAY I PLEASE HAVE A MOTION? >> I'D LIKE TO MAKE THE MOTION. >> SECOND. >>OKAY. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

288
01:20:41.500 --> 01:20:56.566
ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. [CHORUS OF AYES] THOSE OPPOSED SAY NAY. THAT CARRIES AND WILL BE FORWARDED TO THE FULL COUNCIL.

289
01:20:56.566 --> 01:21:14.400
THE NEXT ITEM IS ITEM NUMBER 67 WHICH IS THE 2026 ASSESSMENT REPORT. I'LL WELCOME CITY ASSESSOR REBECCA MONQUIST TO GIVE US A PRESENTATION ON THIS ITEM. THANK YOU FOR JOINING US AND WE'LL GIVE YOU A SECOND TO GET

290
01:21:14.400 --> 01:21:55.266
EVERYTHING QUEUED UP.

291
01:21:55.266 --> 01:22:12.500
>> GOOD MORNING. SO THANK YOU TO THE CHAIR AND TO OUR COUNCIL MEMBERS FOR ALLOWING THIS TIME DURING A VERY, VERY BUSY TIME OF YEAR AND A VERY FULL AGENDA FOR US TO PROVIDE SOME HIGHLIGHTS OF WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE 2026 ASSESSMENT.

292
01:22:12.500 --> 01:22:29.950
I ALSO WANT TO THANK OUR STAFF FOR CREATING THE REPORT WITH ME. AND I'D LIKE TO NOTE THAT I DO HAVE SOME OF MY TEAM WITH ME. IF YOU'D GIVE A QUICK HAND RAISE. ROB WILLIAMSON OUR DIRECTOR OF ASSESSMENTS, BRIAN I DON'T THINK BRIAN'S HERE YET.

293
01:22:29.950 --> 01:22:46.516
MARCO IS OUR MANAGER OF ASSESSMENT SERVICES. BRIAN MESSER, APPRAISAL SUPERVISOR IS NOT HERE. KELSEY AND JOY ARE OUR APPRAISAL SUPERVISORS. AND THEN WE HAVE ONE OF OUR AMAZING ANALYSTS KELSIE ZIMMERMAN.

294
01:22:46.516 --> 01:23:02.950
SO FIRST, A HIGH-LEVEL SUMMARY AND REMINDERS ABOUT THE ASSESSMENT IN GENERAL. WE RECENTLY COMPLETED THE JANUARY 2, 2026, ASSESSMENT OF THE ESTIMATED MARKET VALUES FOR APPROXIMATELY THE 131,000 PROPERTIES HERE IN THE CITY OF

295
01:23:02.950 --> 01:23:19.350
MINNEAPOLIS. THIS IS AN ANNUAL PROCESS AND IT IS DICTATED IN STATE STATUTE. THE NOTICES OF VALUATION AND CLASSIFICATION ARE WHAT WE COMMONLY REFER TO AS THE VALUE NOTICES HAVE BEEN MAILED. WE MAILED THOSE ON APPROXIMATELY I THINK IT WAS FRIDAY,

296
01:23:19.350 --> 01:23:35.316
MARCH 13TH. IT IS IMPORTANT TO REMIND THE AUDIENCE THAT THE 2026 ESTIMATED MARKET VALUES ARE WHAT'S GOING TO BE USED TO CALCULATE THE 2027 PROPERTY TAXES. SO WE VALUE PROPERTY IN ONE YEAR. THEN THE BUDGET AND THE LEVY ARE

297
01:23:35.316 --> 01:23:51.316
SET. AND THEN TAXES ARE PAYABLE IN THE FOLLOWING YEAR. BUT WE KNOW THIS CAN BE CON FEUDING BECAUSE PROPERTY TAX STATEMENTS ARE MAILED AT A APPROXIMATELY THE SAME TIME AS VALUE NOTICES. THE PAYABLE 2026 PROPERT TAX

298
01:23:51.316 --> 01:24:08.783
STATEMENTS THAT PEOPLE ARE RECEIVING, THOSE WERE CALCULATED USING LAST YEAR'S 2025 MARKET VALUE. ANOTHER IMPORTANT REMINDER IS THAT AS ASSESSORS, WE DO ACT AS HISTORIANS IS WHAT I LIKE TO SAY. THE DATA THAT WE USE TO SET THE ANNUAL ASSESSMEN IS DICTATED BY

299
01:24:08.783 --> 01:24:24.516
THE STATE. SO THE SALES RANGE, THE SALES DATES THAT WE USE TO SET THE JANUARY 2, 2026, ASSESSMENT ARE ACTUALLY OCTOBER OF 2024 THROUGH SEPTEMBER OF 2025. MEANING WE LOOK BACK AT WHAT HAS

300
01:24:24.516 --> 01:24:41.350
HAPPENED AND THEN WE SET THE VALUATIONS PEOPLE CAN APPEAL, TAXES ARE SET, ET CETERA. IT IS A MULTI-YEAR PROCESS. BUT IT DOES ALLOW FOR THE APPEA. SO IN MINNESOTA PROPERTY TAXES PROVIDE A VERY SIGNIFICANT

301
01:24:41.350 --> 01:24:59.800
PORTION OF THE FUNDING FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENT. PROPERTY TAXES ARE MINNEAPOLIS'S GENERAL FUND'S LARGEST AND MOST FLEXIBLE SOURCE OF INCOME AND SUPPORT MANY OF THE CITY'S CORE GOVERNMENTAL SERVICES. EACH PROPERTY'S SHARE OF TAXES

302
01:24:59.800 --> 01:25:15.433
IS BASED ON ITS MARKET VALUE, ITS PROPERTY USE, AND THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BUDGETS WHICH THEN BECOME THE TAX RATE. YOU CAN SEE THE IMAGE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN FOR A SIMPLIFIED ILLUSTRATION. SO MARKETVALUE, THAT IS THE PRICE A PROPERTY WOULD SELL FOR IN THE OPEN MARKET.

303
01:25:15.433 --> 01:25:31.816
THE ASSESSOR'S ROLE IS TO REFLECT THE REAL ESTATE MARKET AND SET FAIR AND ACCURATE MARKET VALUES BY FOLLOWING MARKET TRENDS. THE ASSESSOR ALSO CLASSIFIES PROPERTIES ACCORDING TO THEIR USE. DIFFERENT USES OF PROPERTIES

304
01:25:31.816 --> 01:25:47.033
EVEN IF THEY HAVE THE SAME VALUE PAY DIFFERENT TAXES BECAUSE OF THE CLASS RATES THAT ARE SET BY THE STATE LEGISLATURE. I WILL PROVIDE AN EXAMPLE OF THAT IN A MOMENT. AND THEN THE TAX RATE IS DETERMINED USING THE BUDGETS OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS SUCH AS HERE AT THE CITY, THE COUNTY,

305
01:25:47.033 --> 01:26:06.900
SCHOOL DISTRICTS, AND WATER SHEDS. THE INTERMEDIARY STEP IN CONVERTING VALUE IN TAXES IS CALLED THE TAX CAPACITY. THIS SLIDE ILLUSTRATES HOW THIS WORKS AND SOME COMMON TYPES OF PROPERTIES IN THE CITY. THE CALCULATION FOR TAX CAPACITY

306
01:26:06.900 --> 01:26:24.200
IS THE MARKET VALUE WHICH IS IN THE SECOND COLUMN MULTIPLIED BY THE CLASS RATE IN THE THIRD COLUMN. FOR EXAMPLE, AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, A RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY ON THE FIRST LINE AND A COMMERCIAL PROPERTY ON THE BOTTOM LINE. BOTH ASSESSED AT $300,000 WILL

307
01:26:24.200 --> 01:26:40.666
PAY DIFFERENT TAXES AND THAT IS BECAUSE THE CLASS RATE FOR RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY IS 1% AND THE CLASS RATE FOR A COMMERCIAL PROPER IS 2%. AS A RESULT A RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY WILL PAY APPROXIMATELY HALF THE PROPERTY TAXES OF A COMMERCIAL PROPERTY.

308
01:26:40.666 --> 01:26:53.666
HOWEVER, I MUST NOTE THAT THIS IS A VERY SIMPLISTIC MODEL ILLUSTRATING TAX CALCULATION. THERE ARE MORE COMPLEX FACTORS THAT DO AFFECT TAXES SUCH AS HOMESTEAD, THE STATE GENERAL

309
01:26:53.666 --> 01:27:14.100
TAX, AND FISCAL DISPARITIE
DIS. THIS IS AN ESTIMATED MARKET VALUE. EMV FOR THE CITY INCREASED BY JUST OVER .5% THIS YEAR TO

310
01:27:14.100 --> 01:27:29.000
$65.2 BILLION. THIS DOES HOWEVER NOT INCLUDE UTILITIES AND RAILROADS BECAUSE THEY ARE ASSESSED BY THE STATE. AND THEY E DISTRIBUTED TO US IN THE SUMMERTIME. THIS AMOUNT INCLUDES NEW CONSTRUCTION FOR THE PERMIT WORK

311
01:27:29.000 --> 01:27:44.833
TOTALLING APPROXIMATELY $480 MILLION THIS YEAR. I DO WANT TO POINT OUT ONE DISCLAIMER THAT THE MARKET VALUES ARE NOT STATIC. THIS WAS AS A POINT IN TIME WHEN WE ORIGINALLY SET THE ASSESSMENT. BUT THESE ARE ALWAYS EVER CHANGING AND THEY WILL CONTINUE

312
01:27:44.833 --> 01:28:02.100
TO CHANGE UNTIL ALL APPEALS, PETITIONS, ANDBATEMENTS HAVE BEEN RESOLVED AND THAT CAN TAKE MULTIPLE YEARS. THIS SLIDE IS A VISUALIZATION OF THE BREAK DOWN OF THE THREE MAJOR PROPERTY TYPE CATEGORIES.

313
01:28:02.100 --> 01:28:18.966
THE 2026 TOTAL MARKET VALUE ON THE LEFT AND THE TAX CAPACITY ON THE RIGHT. BECAUSE OF THE CALCULATION OF VALUE TO TAX THAT WE DISCUSSED ON THE PREVIOUS SLIDE, THERE'S A CHANGE IN THE DISTRIBUTION BETWEEN THE THREE CATEGORIES WHEN WE MOVE FROM ESTIMATED MARKET VALUE ON THE LEFT TO THE TAX CAPACITY ON THE RIGHT.

314
01:28:18.966 --> 01:28:34.166
YOU CAN SEE HERE THAT RESIDENTIAL VALUES IN GREEN MPRISE OVER 64% OF THE TOTAL CITY MARKET VALUE ON THE LEFT. HOWEVER WHEN THE CLASS RATES ARE APPLIED, THE RESIDENTIAL PORTION OF THE TAX CAPACITY AND THAT

315
01:28:34.166 --> 01:28:51.100
BURDEN IS JUST OVER 55%. YOU CAN SEE THAT THE COMMERCIAL VALUE IN BLUE COMPRISES OVER 14% OF THE TOTAL MARKET VALUE, YET WHEN THE CLASS RATES ARE APPLIED, IT COMPRISES NEARLY 25% OF THE TAX CAPACITY AFTER THE RATES. SO THEN LET'S TAKE THIS COLUMN

316
01:28:51.100 --> 01:29:07.700
ON THE RIGHT AND LOOK AT THIS IN HISTORICAL CONTEXT. THIS CHART IS A HISTORICAL VIEW OF THE TAX CAPACITY AS A PERCENTAGE OF THE TOTAL TAX CAPACITY BY PROPERTY TYPE. SO IF WE COMPARE 25 AND 26, THE

317
01:29:07.700 --> 01:29:24.550
TWO BARS FURTHEST RIGHT, YOU CAN SEE THE YEAR TO YEAR SHIFT BETWEEN COMMERCIAL, APARTMENT, AND RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES IS 2% FROM THE COMMERCIAL TO RESIDENTIAL WITH APARTMENT REMAINING RELATIVELY CONSTANT. OVERALL THIS MEANS THAT THE RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES WILL

318
01:29:24.550 --> 01:29:41.050
AGAIN BEAR A GREATER BURDEN OF THE TAXES I PAYABLE 2027 THAN THEY DID IN PAYABLE 2026. THIS SLIDE ILLUSTRATES THE CHANGE IN TOTAL MARKET VALUE ACROSS ALL OF THE PROPERTY TYPES BY YOUR WARDS.

319
01:29:41.050 --> 01:29:57.616
EACH WARD IS REPRESENTED BY A BLUE BAR AND THE PERCENT OF INEASE OR DECREASE IS AT THE LABEL AT THE END OF EACH BAR. THIS IS A HISTORICAL LOOK AT THE TOTAL RESIDENTIAL VALUE CHANGES.

320
01:29:57.616 --> 01:30:14.016
SO AGAIN THAT PREVIOUS SLIDE WAS ALL VALUES INCLUDING COMMERCIAL APARTMENTS. THIS IS JUST FOCUSED ON OUR RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES. SO OVERALL ALL RESIDENTIAL SAW AN INCREASE OF 2.8% THIS YEAR.

321
01:30:14.016 --> 01:30:31.750
WHILE THE PREOUS SLIDE ILLUSTRATES AN OVERALL VALUE INCREASE FOR THE THREE RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES, THIS DOES BREAK IT DOWN EVEN FURTHER INTO OUR THREE MAIN CATEGORIES FOR RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES INCLUDING TOWN HOMES AND CONDOS, DUPLEX TRIPLEX AND OURINGLE

322
01:30:31.750 --> 01:30:46.416
FAMILY CATEGORY. WE SAW INCREASE ACROSS ALL OF THESE MARKETS THIS YEAR. AND THERE WAS ABOUT $127 MILLION ADDED IN NEW CONSTRUCTION WHICH IS UP FROM $118 MILLION LAST YEAR. SO OUR ASSESSMENT IS VERY

323
01:30:46.416 --> 01:31:03.316
CLOSELY SCRUTINIZED BY THE STA TO ENSURE ACCURACY AND EQUITY. WE FOLLOW REQUIREMENTS MANDATED BE I -- BY THE STATE WHICH ARE BASED ON THE INTERNATIONAL ASSESSING OFFICER STANDARDS ON RACIAL STUDIES AND STANDARDSN MASS APPRAISAL.

324
01:31:03.316 --> 01:31:19.916
THIS DATA REFLECTS THE RESIDENTIAL MARKET. THE ANALYSIS IS OF PROPERTIES THAT HAVE SOLD SO THAT WE CAN COMPARE OUR ASSESSED VALUES TO WHAT THEY ARE SELLING FOR TO ANALYZE HOW ACCURATE AND EQUITABLE VALUES ARE IN COMPARISONO THE SALE PRICES.

325
01:31:19.916 --> 01:31:35.016
THE FIRST MEASUREMENT I WILL REVIEW IS THE SALES RATIO WHICH IS THE THIRD COLUMN. THIS IS A MEASURE OF THE LEVEL OF THE ASSESSMENT. IT IS A COMPARISON OF THE ESTIMATED MARKET VALUE TO THE SALE PRICE OF A PROPERTY. SIMPLY STATED IT IS THE SALE

326
01:31:35.016 --> 01:31:53.216
PRICE DIVIDED BE -- BY THE MARKET VALUE. LOOKING AT THE BOTTOM ROW OF THE 3,952 SALES, THE MEDIAN RATIO IS 95.07%.

327
01:31:53.216 --> 01:32:12.200
AN ACCEPTABLE RATIO IS BETWEEN 90-105%. WE DON'T WANT TO BE AT A SIGNIFICANTLY DFERENT ASSESSMENT LEVEL THAN OUR SURROUNDING NEIGHBORS AND JURISDICTIONS. FOR EXAMPLE, WE DON'T WANT TO BE

328
01:32:12.200 --> 01:32:29.333
VALUING BUILDINGS AT A MEDIAN OF 95 AND HAVING ST. LOUIS PARK OR EDINA VALUING PROPERTIES AT 90% GIVING SOMEWHAT OF A TAX ADVANTAGE TO THOSE PROPERTIES. AGAIN THE LEVEL OF ASSESSMENT NEEDS TO BE CONSISTENT. WE HAVE CONVERSATIONS ACROSS THE CITY BORDERS WITH OUR NEIGHBORS

329
01:32:29.333 --> 01:32:46.366
IN THE OTHER JURISDICTIONS TO ASSURE THAT WE GET THIS CONSISTENCY. OUR ASSESSMENT DOES MEET THE RATIO REQUIREMENTS. THE SECOND MEASUREMENT IS THE COEFFICIENT OF DISPERSION OR COD. IT MEASURES THE UNIFORMITY OF THE ASSESSMENT. IT ESSENTIALLY MEASURES HOW FAR AWAY ALL OF THOSE OTHER RATIOS

330
01:32:46.366 --> 01:33:03.333
ARE FROM THE 95.07%. IT IS WELL WITHIN THE ACCEPTABLE RANGE FOR RESIDENTIALROPERTIES AND BEING LESS THAN 15% SO WE MEET THIS REQUIREMENT AND I AM PROUD OF THE TEAM BECAUSE THIS IS JUST ANOTHER DATA POINT THAT

331
01:33:03.333 --> 01:33:20.500
HAS BEEN IMPROVING OVER THE PAST YEARS ENSURING A MORE AND MORE UNIFORM ASSESSMENT. THE LAST MEASUREMENT, THE PRICE RELATED DIFFERENTIAL OR PRD IS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT AS WELL. BECAUSE IT MEASURES VERTICAL EQUITY. WHEN LOW VALUED PROPERTIES ARE

332
01:33:20.500 --> 01:33:36.033
VALUED GREATER PERCENTAGE OF MARKET VALUE THAN HIGHER VALUED PROPERTIES, THE ASSESSMENT WOULD BE CONSIDERED REGRESSIVE. WHEN LOW VALUED PROPERTIES ARE VALUED AT LOWER PERCENTAGE THAN HIGH VALUED PROPERTIES, THE ASSESSMENT IS CONSIDERED PROGRESSIVE.

333
01:33:36.033 --> 01:33:53.333
BUT ASSESSMENTS FOR TAX PURPOSE SHOULD BE NEITHER OF THESE, PROGRESSIVE OR REGRESSIVE. OUR ASSESSMENT IS WITHIN THE ACCEPTABLE RANGE FOR PRD WITH CONDOS BEING SLIGHTLY JUST OUTSIDE OF THAT 103 WHICH WILL CONTINUE TO BE ON OUR INTERNAL

334
01:33:53.333 --> 01:34:11.283
DEPARTMENT WATCH LIST. THIS IS A HISTORICAL LOOK AT THE REQUIRED STATISTICAL MEASURES THAT OUR ASSESSMENT IS JUDGED FOR BOTH ACCURACY AND EQUITY. IT'S IMPORTANT TO POINT OUT THAT WE HAVE SEEN A DECREASE IN SALES VOLUME SINCE 2022 AT THE PEAK OF

335
01:34:11.283 --> 01:34:28.116
6,686 SALES. OUR SALES THIS YEAR OF 3,952 IS A 41% DECREASE FROM THERE. WE ALWAYS SAY THE MORE SALES WE HAVE, THE MORE DATA WE HAVE TO SET MORE ACCURATE VALUES. SO OUR SALES VOLUME IS DOWN

336
01:34:28.116 --> 01:34:46.016
PROVIDING US SLIGHTLY LESS DATA. HOWEVER THE COUNT IS UP FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR. THE SLIDE ILLUSTRATES THE COMPARISON OF A MEDIAN SALES PRICE IN BLUE, TO THE MEDIAN MARKET VALUE IN ORANGE. THESE LINES SHOULD BE CLOSE TOGETHER AND GOING IN THE SAME DIRECTION. SO YOU CAN SEE THIS MEASUREMENT HAS ALWAYS BEEN IMPROVING.

337
01:34:46.016 --> 01:35:02.316
OUR MEDIAN ESTIMATED MARKET VALUE INCREASED BY 4.6% THIS YEAR. AND IT INCREASED FROM 333,400 TO 348,900 WHICH IS A NUMBER THAT WE WILL USE ACROSS THEITY ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO

338
01:35:02.316 --> 01:35:18.016
WORKING WITH THE BUDGET TEAM AND PROVIDING INFORMATION TO TAXPAYERS. THIS ILLUSTRATES THE BREAK DOWN OF RESIDENTIAL VALUE BY HOW MUCH THEY CHANGE, BY THE PERCENT CHANGE FROM 25 TO 26. SO NEARLY 54% OF OUR RESIDENTIAL

339
01:35:18.016 --> 01:35:34.816
PROPERTIES SAW AN INCREASE UP TO 5%. I WILL POINT OUT THAT THERE HAS BEEN SOME NEWS STORIES LATELY WITH RESIDENTIAL VALUES IN THE 10% TO 20% INCREASE RANGE. AND YES, YOU CAN SEE HERE THAT WE DO HAVE SOME PROPERTIES THAT

340
01:35:34.816 --> 01:35:50.950
INCREASED MORE THAN 10%. BUT THIS IS USUALLY BECAUSE OF NEW CONSTRUCTION THAT'S BEEN ADDED TO THE PROPERTY. OR BAUSE WE'VE REVIEWED THE PROPERTY RECENTLY, WE FOUND THAT THE DATA THAT WE HAD ABOUT THE PROPERTY WAS INCORRECT. WE MADE THE CORRECTIONS AND IT

341
01:35:50.950 --> 01:36:08.283
INDICATED A HIGHER MARKET VALUE. THIS IS A MAP OF SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL CHANGES BY PARCEL AND WARDS. SO THIS VISUALLY REINFORCES WHAT WE'VE SHOWN EARLIER ON THE BAR CHART WHEN WE LOOK AT WARDS 11,

342
01:36:08.283 --> 01:36:25.466
12, AND 13. YOU'LL SEE THERE ARE MORE GREEN HIGHLIGHTED PARCELS THERE. ANOTHER WARD BREAK DOWN HERE. IT'S A COMPARISON OF THE

343
01:36:25.466 --> 01:36:42.466
RESIDENTIAL VALUES AND THE SAME STATISTICAL MEASUREMENTS THAT WE DISCUSSED EARLIER. SO THE COMPS TO THE LEFT ARE THE 2025 OVERALL VALUE THERE COMPARED TO 2026. HOW MUCH NEW CONSTRUCTION WAS ADDED AND THEN THAT CHANGE IN TOTAL VALUE. THEN AS WE MOVE ACROSS THE CHART, YOU'LL SEE THE MEDIAN

344
01:36:42.466 --> 01:36:59.333
MARKET VALUE, THE NUMBER OF SALES THAT WE HAD IN EACH OF YOUR WARDS, THE MEDIAN SALE PRICE, SALES RATIO, AND COD. SO I WANT TO MENTION HERE THAT THE RANGE OF SALES RATIOS FROM 94 TO 96 IS A VERY TIGHT RANGE INDICATING THAT THE ASSESSMENT

345
01:36:59.333 --> 01:37:16.100
ACROSS THE CITY IS QUITE CONSISTENT AND EQUITABLE, UNIFORM. THEN THE COD ACROSS THE CITY RANGES FROM 7.3 TO 10.07, ALL VERY MUCH WITHIN ACCEPTABLE STANDARDS AND PROVIDING UNIFORMITY ACROSS THE CITY.

346
01:37:16.100 --> 01:37:33.266
LET'S PIVOT TO THE COMMERCIAL ASSESSMENT. SEPARATING COMMERCIAL FROM RESIDENTIAL, YOU'LL SEE WE HAD AN OVERALL DECREASE OF ABOUT 9.8% FOR OUR COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES AND JUST OVER A 1% DECREASE FOR OUR INDUSTRIAL PROPERTIES. AND WHEN YOU TOTAL THOSE ALL TOGETHER, IT'S AN OVERALL

347
01:37:33.266 --> 01:37:49.666
DECREASE OF 8.22% THIS YEAR. HISTORICAL LOOK AT THE COMMERCIAL VALUATION, YOU'LL SEE HERE IT'S DOWN OVERALL AGAIN, WE'RE AT $9.7 BILLION THIS YEAR. TO TELL A MORE COMPLETE STORY,

348
01:37:49.666 --> 01:38:05.666
WE BREAK IT DOWN INTO MARKETS BY GEOGRAPHICAL SUB MARKETS. SO THIS SLIDE SEPARATES DOWNTOWN ON THE FAR LEFT FROM THE UPTOWN MARKET THEN WE HAVE ALL OF THE COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES AND INDUSTRIAL THAT ARE OUTSIDE OF THE DOWNTOWN. AND THEN INDUSTRIAL.

349
01:38:05.666 --> 01:38:24.000
SO IN SOME YEARS IN THE PAST THAT WE HAVE SEEN SOME INCREASES IN THE TWO BARS ON THE RIGHT STILL SEEING DECREASES ON THE LEFT. BUT THIS YEAR WE DID STILL SEE DECREASES ACROSS ALL OF THOSE SUBMARKETS.

350
01:38:24.000 --> 01:38:39.333
COMPARING THE STATISTICS HERE, THE MEDIAN SALES RATIO AND COD ARE ALL WITHIN ACCEPTABLE RANGE. THE PRD IS SLIGHTLY HIGHER, SO IT'S A SLIGHTLY REGRESSIVE. AND THIS IS DECHFINITELY SOMETHG WE WILL BE ADDRESSING AS WE GO

351
01:38:39.333 --> 01:38:55.333
AND BEGIN ON THE 2027 ASSESSMENT THIS SUMMER. APARTMENTS, A QUICK LOOK AT OUR APARTMENTS, THE OVERALL MKET VALUE THERE, LESS NEW CONSTRUCTION IS UP JUST UNDER 1%. THERE WAS $271 MILLION ADDED IN

352
01:38:55.333 --> 01:39:09.766
NEW CONSTRUCTION IN THE APARTMENT MARKET. AND THIS IS THE LARGEST PORTION OF THE NEW CONSTRUCTION THAT'S BEEN ADDED ACROSS THE CITY. AGAIN THE STATISTICAL MEASUREMENTS OR THE COD, PRD, AND SALES RATIO ARE ALL WELL WITHIN THE ACCEPTABLE RANGES

353
01:39:09.766 --> 01:39:26.600
WITHIN PRD MAKING A DRAMATIC AND REALLY SOLID IMPROVEMENT. SO REALLY PROUD OF STAFF FOR HONING IN THAT MARKET. THIS IS A SLIDE THAT WE ADDED THIS YEAR BECAUSE OVER THE COURSE OF THE PAST YEAR, WE HAVE BEEN GETTING A FAIR AMOUNT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT EXEMPT PROPERTIES.

354
01:39:26.600 --> 01:39:42.300
AND WHAT THEY MEAN TO THE CITY. SO THIS IS WHERE I JUST TOOK AND MADE YOU A QUICK PIE CHART TO SHOW YOU THAT WE TALKED ABOUT THAT THE CITY'S TOTAL ESTIMATED MARKET VALUE IS $65 BILLION. WE ALSO HAVE AN ADDITIONAL

355
01:39:42.300 --> 01:39:56.066
ALMOST $20 BILLION IN EXEMPT PROPERTIES THAT WE'RE ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR BOTH REVIEWING APPLICATIONS OA 3 AND 6-YEAR CYCLE, PHYSICALLY VIEWING AND VALUING.

356
01:39:56.066 --> 01:40:13.033
AND AS WE FURTHER BREAK DOWN THE 19.5 BILLION INTO THE MAJOR EXEMPT CATEGOES, YOU'LL SEE THAT HERE IN YELLOW. GOVERNMENT PROPERTIES MAKE UP OUR BIGGEST SHARE OF THE EMPT PROPERTIES FOLLOWED BY SCHOOLS. AND THEN SOME SMALLER BREAK

357
01:40:13.033 --> 01:40:30.166
DOWNS THERE. ANOTHER SLIDE WE DECIDED TO ADD THIS YEAR BECAUSE I THINK IT'S JUST IMPTANT TO NOTE IS THAT IF WE LOOK AT THE AMOUNT OF VALUE THAT'S ACTUALLY EXCLUDED FROM OUR TOTAL MARKET VALUE OF THIS CITY AND IN THE VERY FIRST

358
01:40:30.166 --> 01:40:44.166
COLUMN IT'S THE VETERANS EXCLUSION. AND SO WE HAVE $132 MILLION THAT'S BEING EXCLUDE THAT FALL INTO THAT STATE PROGRAM.

359
01:40:44.166 --> 01:41:03.466
AND  SO APPROXIMATELY 1.92% OF THE $65 BILLION IS EXCLUDED FROM PROPERTY TAS. AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, VALUE NOTICES ARE IN THE MAIL. THEY'RE COLOR CODED IN BLUE THIS YEAR. SO THAT WILL BE CONSISTENT WITH

360
01:41:03.466 --> 01:41:20.400
THE TNT NOTICE THAT THEY'LL GET IN NOVEMBER WILL BE BLUE AND THEIR TAX STATEMENT IN 27 WILL BE BLUE. ALL OF THE INFORMATION ABOUT CONTACTING OUR OFFICE A THE APPEALS PROCESS IS ON THE VALUE NOTICE. ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE NOTICE, THE PROPERTY OWNER CAN ACTUALLY

361
01:41:20.400 --> 01:41:36.733
FIND THE APPRAISER RESPONSIBLE AND THEIR PHONE NUMBER AND EMAIL ADESS SO THEY CAN CONTACT THEM DIRECTLY. AND THEN WE HAVE ONCE WE GET TO THE POINT IN THE PROCESS WHERE PEOPLE DISAGREE WITH THE APPRAISER'S REVIEW VALUE OF THEIR PROPERTY. THEY CAN SUBMIT AN APPLICATION

362
01:41:36.733 --> 01:41:53.333
AND THAT INFORMATION IS ON OUR WEBSITE AS WELL ALONG WITH OUR APPRAISERS WILL SEND A LINK TO THE APPLICATION SHOULD THEY WISH TO FILE A FORMAL APPEAL. AND THEN IF WE LOOK AT THE RESOURCES THAT WE DO MAKE AVAILABLE TO OUR PROPERTY OWNERS

363
01:41:53.333 --> 01:42:10.416
TO ASSIST THEM IN DECIDING IF THEY BELIEVE THAT OUR ESTIMATED MARKET VALUE IS CORRECT AND FAIR OR IF IT SHOULD BE APPEALED, WE HAVE OUR PROPERTY INFO TOOL ON THE TOP LEFT. WE HAVE A SALES FINDER TO HELP PROPERTY OWNERS SEARCH FOR SALES. AND WE ONLY INCLUDE GOOD TRUE

364
01:42:10.416 --> 01:42:26.816
SALES THAT WE WOULD USE IN OUR SALES RATIO STUDIES TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE USING THE SAME DATA THAT WE ARE. AND THE TOP RIGHT IS THE LEVY IMPACTS ESTIMATOR WHICH GETS USED DURING THE BUDGET SEASON AND THE BOTTOM RIGHT IS MORE DATA THAT'S OUT ON OPEN GOV THAT

365
01:42:26.816 --> 01:42:42.133
PROVIDES INFORMATION, MEDIAN LUES, AND DATA POINTS ABOUT NEIGHBORHOOD SPECIFICS. WE ALSO DO HAVE SOME VIDEOS THAT ARE AVAILABLE ON THE WEBSITE TO HELP EXPLAIN THE PROCESS. SOME KEY DATES FOR YOU MOVING DOWN TO THE SECOND ONE, LOCAL

366
01:42:42.133 --> 01:42:58.683
BOARD OF APPEAL AND EQUALIZATION WHICH YOU APPOINTED YOUR MEMBERS TODAY ON CONSENT. WE CONVENE APRIL 14TH. WE'LL CONTINUE TO CONVENE DAY AFTER DAY UNTIL WE'VE HEARD ALL OF THE CASES. LAST YEAR WE WERE ABLE TO WRAP UP IN TWO DAYS.

367
01:42:58.683 --> 01:43:15.750
SOME YEARS WE'VE HAD TO GO EIGH. IT WILL DEPEND ON THE VALUE OF APPEALS. IF PROPERTY OWNERS STILL DISAGREE WITH OUR VALUE, THEY CAN APPEAL TO THE LOCAL COUNTY BOARD. AND AS WE PIVOT AND THINK ABOUT WHAT'S NEXT AFTER APPEALS SEASON, IT'S OUR APPRAISAL STAFF BEING BACK IN THEFIELD,

368
01:43:15.750 --> 01:43:32.116
KNOCKING ON DOORS, DOING THE PHYSICAL REQUIRED INSPECTION. AND THE PROPERTIES IN THE LIGHTER BLUE ARE THE NEIGHBORHOODS THAT WE WILL BE IN FOR THIS SUMMER. AND SO I'VE ALREADY HAD A

369
01:43:32.116 --> 01:43:50.350
CONVERTION AT LEAST WITH ONE COUNCIL MEMBER. WE DO OUR BEST TO INFORM THE COUNCIL MEMBER AND YOUR TEAM THAT WE'RE COMING OUT SO YOU CAN PUT SOMETHING IN YOUR NEWSLETTERS. WE LET THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS KNOW. WE LET 911, 311 KNOW SO THAT EVERYBODY KNOWS WHEN OUR STAFF AREUT IN THE FIELD BECAUSE

370
01:43:50.350 --> 01:44:06.383
THEY DON'T DRIVE CITY CARS, BUT THEY WEAR A FLUORESCENT VEST AND HAVE THEIR CREDENTIALS WITH THEM, THAT PROPERTY OWNERS CAN EXPECT US, WE MAIL A POSTCARD TO LET THEM KNOW THAT WE'RE COMING. WE DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO INFORM THEM, BUT WE WILL BE

371
01:44:06.383 --> 01:44:22.416
VOTING AND ASKING YOU TO HELP COMMUNICATE THIS AS WELL. IT IS ESPECIALLY NOW IT IS EVEN MORE CRITICALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE HELP PEOPLE FEEL MORE SAFE AND SECURE WHEN OUR STAFF ARE KNOCKING ON THEIR DOORS. AND WITH THAT, THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION FOR THIS MORNING.

372
01:44:22.416 --> 01:44:37.916
I THANK YOU AGAIN ALL FOR YOUR TIME. I DO WANT TO OFFER UP ONE SUGGESTION OR ITEM TO YOU AS WE CLOSE IS THAT IN THE PAST MAYBE BACK LEADING UP OR IN COVID WE

373
01:44:37.916 --> 01:44:54.483
OFFERED ONE ON ONE TIME WITH ALL OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS TO TALK ABOUT YOUR WARD-SPECIFIC DATA IN CASE YOU'RE GETTING QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING IN YOUR WARD. WHAT IN THE WORLD IS THE ASSESSOR DOING HERE. SO JUST REACH OUT. HAPPY TO SCHEDULE ONE ON ONES TALK ABO THE NEIGHBORHOODS

374
01:44:54.483 --> 01:45:11.250
SPECIFIC IN YOUR WARD AND WHAT WE'RE SEEING. AND GIVE YOU SOME HISTORICAL CONTEXT IF THAT'S HELPFUL. SO I'LL SEND OUT A REMINDER AND IF YOU'D LIKE TO SCHEDULE THAT, I'LL BE AVAILABLE TO YOU. I'D LIKELY BRING THE APPRAISERS RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD SO YOU CAN SEE THEM FACE TO FACE,ET TO MEET THEM

375
01:45:11.250 --> 01:45:29.233
AND OTHER MEMBERS OF OUR TEAM. WITH THAT, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALLOWING ME TO FILL THIS TIME ON A VERY BUSY AGENDA. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH, DIRECTOR MALMQUIST FOR THE ALWAYS THOROUGH AND VERY HELPFUL PRESENTATION. WE HAVE SEVERAL MEMBERS IN QUEUE. SO I WILL GO TO COUNCILMEMBER

376
01:45:29.233 --> 01:45:44.500
SHAFFER. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR CHOWDHURY AND DIRECTOR MALMQUIST. THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO MEET WITH YOU ONE ON ONE. I WILL DEFINITELY DO THAT. AS WE SAW WARD SEVEN IS SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACTED IN ITS ESTIMATED VALUES AS COMPARED TO THE REST OF THE CITY.

377
01:45:44.500 --> 01:46:01.100
WE KNOW THAT'S PART OF DOWNTOWN. BUT AS YOU PULLED UP YOUR MAP, IT WAS SIGNIFICANT IN THE RESIDENTIAL AREAS AS WELL. OBVIOUSLY WE HAVE A LOT OF CONDOS IN WARD SEVEN. SO I'M NOT GOING TO SAVE EVERYONE'S TIME TODAY ASKING ABOUT SOME OF THOSE TRENDS HIGH

378
01:46:01.100 --> 01:46:17.166
LEVEL. BUT I THINK THIS DOES APPLY CITY WIDE. AND MY QUESTION TO YOU IS THIS, WHEN YOU HAVE THE CONDO MARKET SHOWING AT 103% SIGNIFICANTLY ASSESSED OVER THE VALUE OF THESE CONDOS AND YOU SAID IT WAS A LITTLE BIT OF A FLAG. WHAT IS YOUR PLAN THEN FOR 2027

379
01:46:17.166 --> 01:46:34.300
TO ADDRESS THAT OVERAGE? BECAUSE I HAVE HEAR MANY COMPLAINTS FROM CONDO OWNERS THAT NOT ONLY ARE THEIR VALUATIONS DROPPING SIGNIFICANTLY, BUT THEIR HOA FEES ARE INCREASING TO THE POINT WHERE THEY ARE UNABLE TO STAY IN THEIR CONDOS ANY LONGER.

380
01:46:34.300 --> 01:46:50.316
AND THEN WHEN THESE PROPERTY TAXES ARE THEN SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER THAN THE VALUATION, PEOPLE ARE UNDERWATER SO THAT THEY NO LONGER FEEL LIKE THEY CAN STAY IN THEIR CONDOS. SO IF YOU CAN SPEAK TO WHAT IS THE PLAN FOR 2027 TO GET THAT

381
01:46:50.316 --> 01:47:09.716
103% MORE IN LINE WITH 95%? >> TO THE CHAIR AND TO COUNCILMEMBER SHAFFER, THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION. I JUST BROUGHT BACK UP THE SLIDE WHERE WE TALKED ABOUT THE CONDOS AND THE TOWN HOMES HERE. SO LET'S GO ACROSS THIS LINE. WE HAD 950 SALES. OUR SALES RATIO IS ACTUALLY 95%.

382
01:47:09.716 --> 01:47:25.616
SO WHEN WE LOOK AT THAT, THE ASSESSMENT IS EXACTLY WHERE IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE BECAUSE OUR TARGET IS 95%. THE COD NEEDS TO BE BELOW 105 AND THAT MEASURES THE UNIFORMITY. IT'S THE PRD THAT YOU REFERENCED

383
01:47:25.616 --> 01:47:41.650
THAT'S AT 103, SO THAT SPEAKS TO THE VERTICAL EQUITY. SO WHAT THAT IS TELLING ME IS THAT THE LOWER VALUED PROPERTIES ARE BEING VALUED HIGHER THAN THE HIGHER VALUED PROPERTIES. SO WE TEND TO BE HIGHER ON THE

384
01:47:41.650 --> 01:47:58.583
LOW VALUED PROPERTIES, AND LOWER ON THE HIGH VALUED PROPERTIES. AND THAT IS TYPICALLY BECAUSE OF THE DATA THAT WE HAVE. THERE IS SOME BIFURCATION IN THE

385
01:47:58.583 --> 01:48:14.583
CONDO MARKET. WHAT WE NEED TO BE WATCHING OVERALL IN THE CITY AND WE CAN SPECIFICALLY TALK ABOUT WARD SEVEN AT ANOTHER TIME. BUT WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT THE HIGHER LEVEL PROPERTIES THAT WE'RE PUSHING THEM HIGH ENOUGH. AND THAT THE LOW VALUED PROPERTIES WE'RE NOT PUSHING THEM TOO HIGH.

386
01:48:14.583 --> 01:48:31.383
SO THAT IS OUR PLAN. >> CAN YOU GIVE ME A HOW THAT HAPPENS? IS THAT A FORMULA? CAN YOU SPEAK A LITTLE BIT TO W THAT PROCESS HAPPENS WITHIN YOUR OFFICE? >> YES. SO TO THE CHAIR AND TO COUNCILMEMBER SHAFFER, SO WHEN WE VALUE PROPERTY, WE DON'T VALUE EACH PROPERTY

387
01:48:31.383 --> 01:48:47.450
INDIVIDUALLY. WE USE MASS APPRAISAL TECHNIQUES. SO WHAT THAT TYPICALLY MEANS IS WE LOOK AT A UNIVERSE OF CONDO PROPERTIES. WE'LL PROBABLY START AT A COMMUNITY LEVEL BECAUSE WE'LL GET THE MOST SALES THEN AND SEE WHAT DO OUR STATISTICS LOOK LIKE. IF AT THE COMMUNITY LEVEL

388
01:48:47.450 --> 01:49:04.016
THEY'RE LOOKING OKAY, WE'LL DRILL DOWN AND LOOK AT IT AT THE NEIGHBORHOOD LEVEL. HOW ARE EACH NEIGHBORHOOD DOING AS FAR AS CONDOMINIUMS. BECAUSE A CONDOMINIUMS COULD BE TWO BUILDINGS OR TWO UNITS IN A HISTORIC BUILDING OR IT COULD BE

389
01:49:04.016 --> 01:49:21.550
A COMPLEX OF 500 PROPERTIES AND THOSE ARE NOT THE SAME MARKET TYPICALLY. SO WE NEED TO MAKE SURE WHEN WE'RE DRILLING DOWN AND LOOKING CLOSER AND CLOSER AT THE MARKET AND THE SEGMENTS OF THE MARKET THAT WE ARE ENSURING CONSISTENCY AND WE'RE APPLYING CONSISTENT

390
01:49:21.550 --> 01:49:37.700
INCREASES AND DECREASES ACROSS THOSE DIFFERENT TYPES. BUT IT DOES GET PRETTY INTRICATE ESPECIALLY WHEN WE START AT A CITY-WIDE LEVEL AND THIS IS THE CITY-WIDE DATA. AND THEN WE'LL GET SMALLER AND SMALLER AND LOOK AT WHAT'S HAPPENING IN PARTICULARLY ONE OF

391
01:49:37.700 --> 01:49:54.316
YOUR NEIGHBORHOODS TO SEE HOW THEY ARE DOING AS FAR AS THE VERTICAL EQUITY PERSPECTIVE. SO IT WOULD BE REALLY HELPFUL FOR ME TO LOOK AT THIS JUST FOR YOUR WARD DATA TO BE ABLE TO HELP YOU TELL A BETTER STORY. >> YES, I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO MEET WITH YOU. AND MY SECOND QUESTION IS IT'S

392
01:49:54.316 --> 01:50:06.733
BEEN A FEW DAYS SINCE THESE VALUATION NOTICES HAVE HIT HOMEOWNERS AND CONDO OWNERS, ET CETERA. WHAT HAS THE RESPONSE RATE BEEN TO YOUR ASSESSORS TO DATE AS FAR AS PEOPLE REACHING OUT BEFORE

393
01:50:06.733 --> 01:50:28.283
THE APRIL 2ND, APRIL 3RD DEADLINE. >> FOR THE FORMAL APPEALS. THROUGH THE CHAIR TO COMMISSIONER SHAFFER, I WOULD SAY COUNT WISE THE INQUIRIES WE'RE GETTING IS SLIGHTLY DOWN FROM LAST YEAR. THAT IS WHAT I'M HEARING.

394
01:50:28.283 --> 01:50:45.533
HOWEVER, WE'REOING TO NEED ANOTHER WEEK OR SO TO LET CALLS COME IN AND LET THE PROCESS WORK THROUGH BECAUSE RIGHT NOW WE KNOW ABOUT HOW MANY CALLS WE HAVE, BUT WE DON'T KNOW HOW THEY'RE BEING RESOLVED. SO WE'LL HAVE MORE OF THAT INFORMATION IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS. >> THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU.

395
01:50:45.533 --> 01:51:01.550
>> COUNCILMEMBER PALMISANO. >> THANK YOU, DIRECTOR MALMQUIST AND THANK YOU TO HER TEAM THAT'S ALL HERE TODAY. WE REALLY DO APPRECIATE YOU AND I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT FROM US UP HERE. YOU AND YOUR TEAM HAVE A DIFFICULT JOB IN THE CURRENT ECONOMIC CLIMATE ESPECIALLY WHEN

396
01:51:01.550 --> 01:51:19.250
VALUATION STATEMENTS COME IN AND THE QUESTIONS START. OUR ESTIMATED MARKET VALUE FROM YOUR PRESENTATION IS FLAT FOR A THIRD YEAR IN A ROW. BUT OUR SPENDING AND PROPERTY TAX LEVY IS . AND THAT'S A RECIPE FOR A LOT OF FRUSTRATION FROM RESIDENTS.

397
01:51:19.250 --> 01:51:36.200
IT'S NOT ENJOYABLE FOR ANY OF US OR YOU TO TRY AND EXPLAIN TO RESIDENTS THAT THE VALUE OF THEIR PROPERTY IS BASED ON WHAT'S GOING ON AROUND THEM AND SALES OF SIMILAR PROPERTIES IN THEIR AREA. AND A FREQUENT COMPLAINT THAT I

398
01:51:36.200 --> 01:51:52.116
HEAR IS THAT A RESIDENT HAS DONE NOTHING TO IMPROVE THEIR PROPERTY, BUT YET THEIR VALUE HAS GONE UP. AND THAT'S HARD TO BEAR IN THE PRESENT, BUT WE TRY TO EXPLAIN THAT IT WILL BE GOOD UPON SALE OF THE PROPERTY. BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT THEY GET TO ENJOY ANY UPGRADES TO THEIR PROPERTY.

399
01:51:52.116 --> 01:52:07.666
SO THEY'RE PAYING MORE, BUT THEY'RE NOT ENJOYING ANYTHING MORE PER SE. IT'S NO SURPRISE TO SEE RESIDENTIAL THEN CONTINUING TO SHOULDER A LARGE SHARE OF THE NET TAX CAPACITY FOR OUR CITY'S BUDGET.

400
01:52:07.666 --> 01:52:27.883
YOU HAD ON SLIDE 22 A STARK REALITY ACTUALLY OF OUR INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL VALUATIONS. IT LOOKS LIKE THIS IS DRIVEN ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY BY LOSSES IN DOWNTOWN A UPTOWN. YOU AND YOUR TEAM HAVE A -- IF

401
01:52:27.883 --> 01:52:43.600
THAT'S ACCURATE, YOU AND YOUR TEAM HAVE A LOT OF EXPERIENCE AND HISTORY WITH VALUATIONS. AND I'M WONDERING IF YOU'VE SEEN COMMERCIAL DOWNTURNS LIKE THIS BEFORE AND IF SO, HOW HAVE THEY

402
01:52:43.600 --> 01:53:00.616
COME BACK? AND DO YOU HAVE ANY INTERVENTION STRATEGIES TO HELP WITH VALUATION REBOUNDS THAT YOU'VE SEEN? >> THANK YOU TO THE CHAIR AND COUNCILMEMBER PALMISANO, THANK YOU FOR THAT. AND VERY GOOD QUESTION. AS FAR AS LET'S JUST TALK ABOUT

403
01:53:00.616 --> 01:53:17.166
THE DOWNTOWN MARKET BECAUSE I'M JUST SAYING IT'S BEEN A FOCUS LATELY. AND WE HAVE SEEN SIGNIFICANT DECREASES IN OUR WHEN WE CLASSIFY COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES, WE CALL IT OUR AB BUILDINGS, OUR

404
01:53:17.166 --> 01:53:33.316
C BUILDINGS, THAT'S HOW WE CLASSIFY OUR OFFICE BUILDINGS. WE HAVE SEEN ABOUT A 20% DECREASE IN LARGE BUILDINGS THIS YEAR. THAT'S A LARGE DECREASE. I WILL SAY THAT AS WE MEET WITH BROKERS AND BUYERS AND SELLERS, IT SEEMS TO ME THERE IS A

405
01:53:33.316 --> 01:53:48.333
SENTIMENT THAT THERE IS SOME RAYS OF HOPE AND LIGHT. I JUST ALWAYS WANT TO POINT OUT THAT WHEN WE TALK ABOUT APPEALS, THAT WE ARE CONSTANTLY IN LITIGATION AND TAX COURT ON ALL OF THESE OPERTIES.

406
01:53:48.333 --> 01:54:05.183
A LOT OF THESE, OUR DOWNTOWN CORE PROPERTIES, A LOT O THEM ARE APPEALED EVERY YEAR. AND SO WE'RE LEARNING MORE AND MORE. WHEN WE SET THE ASSESSMENT FOR JANUARY 2ND, WE SET IT WITH ALL OF THE INFORMATION THAT WE HAVE. BUT WE OBTAIN A LOT MORE INFORMATION AFTER THAT ABOUT THE

407
01:54:05.183 --> 01:54:19.100
SALE. AND THAT'S THE INFORMATION THAT WE USUALLY USE WHEN WE ARE GOING INTO LITIGATION AND THINGS LIKE THAT. BUT WHEN WE TALK ABOUT OFFSETTING ANY SORTS OF THESE SHIFTS FROM RESIDENTIAL OR COMMERCIAL TO RESIDENTIAL AND TO OUR PROPERTY OWNERS, IT'S REALLY

408
01:54:19.100 --> 01:54:36.050
GOING TO HAVE TO COME FROM A LEGISLATIVE ACT. AND I KNOW THIS YEAR IN SESSION THAT THEY ARE PROPOSING THINGS LIKE LIMITED MARKET VALUE AGAIN. THEY ARE PROPOSING THINGS LIKE LIMITED MARKET VALUE BUT JUST FOR SENIORS. AND THERE'S A NUMBER OF OTHER

409
01:54:36.050 --> 01:54:51.916
PROPOSALS IN THE WORKS TO PROVIDE RELIEF. AND SO I WOULD JUST SAY THAT WE AS A DEPARTMENT CAN'T PROVIDE THAT RELIEF. BUT WHEN WE HANDLE APPEALS, BECAUSE YOUR PROPERTY TAX IS THE

410
01:54:51.916 --> 01:55:07.366
ONLY TAX YOU CAN APPEAL, THAT WE TAKE THAT PROCESS VERY SERIOUSLY HERE AT THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS. I BELIEVE IN THE LOCAL BOARD OF APPEAL AND EQUALIZATION AND THE FAIRNESS AND TRANSPARENCY THAT THAT BRINGS TO OUR PROPERTY OWNERS TO BE ABLE TO APPEAL THEIR MARKET VALUE. THERE ARE THREE WAYS TO APPEAL THE VALUE.

411
01:55:07.366 --> 01:55:24.050
AND SO I JUST WANT TO AGAIN IF PROPERTY OWNERS ARE CONCERNED THAT THEIR VALUE IS UNFAIR, THAT THERE ARE METHODS TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S ACCURATE SO THAT THEY CAN KNOW THAT THEY'RE PAYING THEIR FAIR SHARE. >> THANK YOU. AND THANK YOU FOR THE WORK THAT YOU GUYS DO. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH.

412
01:55:24.050 --> 01:55:40.433
>> COUNCILMEMBER STEVENSON. >> YEAH, THANK YOU FOR COMING AND PRESENTING TO US. I STEPPED OUT AND THEN I CAME IN HALFWAY THROUGH A QUESTION THAT I WANTED ANSWERED FOR MYSELF AND SO I MISSED SOME OF WHAT YOU WERE SAYING IF YOU'LL FORGIVE ME. YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT MAKING

413
01:55:40.433 --> 01:55:56.850
SURE LOW VALUE PROPERTIES WERE NOT OVERTAXED AND HIGH VALUE PROPERTIES ARE NOT UNDERTAXED. CAN YOU WALK ME THROUGH THAT AGAIN. >> YES. THROUGH THE CHAIR AND TO COUNCILMEMBER STEVENSON, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE QUESTION. WHAT WE REFER TO AS VERTICAL EQUITY. SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE NO

414
01:55:56.850 --> 01:56:12.600
MATTER AT WHAT PRICE POINT A PROPERTY IS VALUED AT THAT IT IS VALUED AT THE FAIR 95% OF SALES PRICE AS WELL. WHAT TENDS TO HAPPEN AND ONE OF THE REASONS THAT YOU CAN GET INTO A REGRESSIVEITUATION IS

415
01:56:12.600 --> 01:56:29.583
THAT WE HAVE A LOT MORE DATA ABOUT THE LOWER VALUED PRERTIES. WE HAVE A LOT MORE SALES TRANSACTIONS. SO WE HAVE SOLID INFORMATI AND WE CAN VERY CONFIDENTLY SET THOSE MARKET VALUES. WE DON'T HAVE AS MUCH MARKET VALUE, BUT WHAT IS  THE TRUE

416
01:56:29.583 --> 01:56:45.133
TOP? ESPECIALLY ON THE RESIDENTIAL SIDE. WE MAY HAVE TRANSACTIONS IN THE FIVE MILLIONS OR WHATEVER, BUT WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE 100 OF THEM TO TELL US WHAT'S HAPPENING. WE HAVE A LOT MORE LIMITED DATA, SO IT'S HARD TO KNOW HOW FAR TO PUSH THE TOP END OF RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES. BUT WE CONTINUE TO DO THE WORK.

417
01:56:45.133 --> 01:57:02.083
WE CONTINUE TO DO ALL OF THE SALES VERIFICATION THAT WE CAN. WE TALK TO THE BUYER AND SELLER ON THESE TRANSACTIONS TO BETTER UNDERSTAND WHAT WAS DRIVING THAT SALE PRICE BECAUSE SOMETIMES WE CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY SOMEBODY PAID THE AMOUNT

418
01:57:02.083 --> 01:57:17.083
WE CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY SOMEONE PAID ON THE UPPER END, BUT WE DO ON THEOW END. THE P.R.D. IS SOMETHING THAT WE TAKE VERY SERIOUSLY. IT IS CRITICIZED AT

419
01:57:17.083 --> 01:57:34.983
THE COUNTY AND THE STATE. I AM ALWAYS IN THE RANGE. >> THE P.R.D., IF THE NUMBER IS HIGHER THAN 100, IT IS MORE EQUITABLE OR LESS EQUITABLE? >> IT'S MORE REGRESSIVE.

420
01:57:34.983 --> 01:57:51.650
>> REGRESSIVE. >> SOHEN WE SAY REGRESSIVE, THE LOWER VALUED PROPERTIES ARE AT MARKET VALUE OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE AND THE HIGHER VALUED PROPERTIES ARE NOT QUITE AT

421
01:57:51.650 --> 01:58:06.450
MARKET VALUE. >> SO IF WE WERE TO BE PROGRESSIVE, WE WOULD BE JUST BELOW 100 AND IF WE WERE BEING REGRES REGRE REGRESSIVE, WE WOULD BE ABOVE 100. >> TO THE CHAIR AND COUNCIL MEMBER, THAT'S EXACTLY CORRECT.

422
01:58:06.450 --> 01:58:23.183
IF YOU SEE THE APARTMENT SIDE, APARTMENTS ARE 99.3. WE'RE HAPPY WITH THAT NUMBER, 100 IS PERFECT BUT ANYTHING IN THOSE TOLERANCES IS ACTUALLY REALLY, IS REALLY GOOD. 103 IS REALLY STILL QUITE WELL, GOOD WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT

423
01:58:23.183 --> 01:58:38.283
IT IN COMPARISON TO WHERE IT COULD BE. WE HAVE TIGHT STANDARDS HERE IN THE CITY, IN THE STATE OF MINNESOTA. >> DO YOU KNOW HOW OUR VALUES ARE LINING UP AGAINST PEER CITIES OR OTHER CITIES IN MINNESOTA?

424
01:58:38.283 --> 01:58:56.733
>> TO THE CHAIR AND COUNCIL MEMBER STEVENSON, IT' ABOUT 3%, BUT OUR COMMERCIAL DECREASES IS DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE'RE SEEING IN THE SUBURBS. >> SORRY, I MEAN OUR P.R.D. VALUE --

425
01:58:56.733 --> 01:59:14.266
>> TO THE CHAIR AND STECOUNCIL MEMBER STEVENSON, WE ARE COMPARABLE ACROSS THE STATE. >> DO YOU HAVE AN IDEA ABOUT CITIES AROUND THE COUNTRY OF SIMILAR SIZE? >> TO THE CHAIR AND COUNCIL MEMBER STEVENSON, YES, MINNESOTA

426
01:59:14.266 --> 01:59:29.900
HAS VERY HIGH STANDARDS, BUT WE ALL FOLLOW THE STANDARDS, SO IF ANOTHER STATE FOLLOWS THE IOO STANDARDS, THEY WILL BE BELOW 103 AS WELL. >> OKAY, THANK YOU. >> YOU'RE WELCOME, THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU, ARE THERE ANY

427
01:59:29.900 --> 01:59:48.066
OTHER MEMBERS THAT WOULD LIKE TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS OR HAVE ANYTHING FOR DISCUSSION? SEEING NONE, MAY I PLEASE HAVE A

428
01:59:48.066 --> 02:00:00.966
MOTION. >> SO MOVED. >> SECOND. >> IS THIS A RECEIVE FILE? SORRY, THERE IS NO MOTION NEEDED. I WILL DIRECT THE CLERK TO RECEIVE AND FILE THIS ITEM. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> YEAH, THANK YOU SO MUCH AGAIN

429
02:00:00.966 --> 02:00:20.133
FOR THE PRESENTATION. ALL RIGHT MEMBERS, NEXT WE'RE GOING TO TAKE UP NUMBER 72, WHICH IS AUTHORIZING A JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT WITH HENNEPIN COUNTY FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE

430
02:00:20.133 --> 02:00:35.200
MINNEAPOLIS RENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM IN THE AMOUNT OF $1 MILLION. I WILL ASK AMY TO PRESENT ON THIS ITEM AND I WILL

431
02:00:35.200 --> 02:00:51.066
JUST CLARIFY TO COUNCIL MEMBERS THAT THIS IS RELATED TO THE NEXT COUPLE ITEMS THAT WE'RE TAKING UP, NUMBER 73 AND 74. WHILE THIS ITEM IS FOR $1 MILLION, THERE IS

432
02:00:51.066 --> 02:01:08.500
A PROVISION IN PLACE FOR ADDITIONAL RENTAL ASSISTANCE SHOULD WE TAKE IT UP AS A BODY TO BE A PART OF THIS JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT. >> HI.

433
02:01:08.500 --> 02:01:25.716
>> WELCOME. >> THANK YOU CHAIR CHOWDHURY AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE. I'M A PROJECT COORDINATOR WITH THE HOUSING DIVISION OF CPED. I'M REQUESTING AUTHORIZATION TO ENTER INTO JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT WITH

434
02:01:25.716 --> 02:01:41.850
HENNEPIN COUNTY TO ALLOW $1 MILLION OF RENTAL ASSISTANCE TO BE DISTRIBUTED THROUGH THE HENNEPIN COUNTY HOMELESSNESS PREVENTION PROGRAM. UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, A MINIMUM OF 80% OF THE $1 MILLION MUST BE USED TO PROVIDE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO

435
02:01:41.850 --> 02:01:57.516
ELIGIBLE HOUSEHOLDS. IN THIS CONTEXT, ELIGIBLE ASSISTANCE INCLUDES THE RENTAL ASSISTANCE AND UTILITY ASSISTANCE. UP TO 20% OF THE FUND, OF THE $1 MILLION MAY BE USED FOR PROGRAM ADMINISTRATIVE AND SOME LIGHT WRAP AROUND SUPPORT

436
02:01:57.516 --> 02:02:14.283
SERVICES, ESSENTIALLY PROVIDING GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICES TO OUR APPLICANTS. TO BE ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE THE ASSISTANCE, APPLICANTS MUST MEET THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA. FIRST THEY NEED TO RESIDE IN THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS. THEY NEED TO HAVE AN INCOME AT OR BELOW 30% OF

437
02:02:14.283 --> 02:02:31.783
AREA MEDIAN INCOME. I WANTED TO GIVE A CONTEXT OF WHAT THAT MIGHT BE. THIS INCOME IS BASED ON THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT RESIDE IN YOUR HOUSEHOLD AND COUPLE OF EXAMPLES I PULLED TODAY TO BRING FORWARD TO YOU IS SINGLE INDIVIDUAL, A MONTHLY INCOME OF $2,300, AND FOR A

438
02:02:31.783 --> 02:02:48.016
FAMILY OF FOUR, THAT IS APPROXIMATELY $3,300. SO IN ADDITION TO LIVING IN MINNEAPOLIS AND HAVING AN INCOME AT OR BELOW 30% A.M.I., YOU NEED TO HAVE A 30 DAY NOTICE OF EVICTION FROM YOUR LANDLORD. THAT VARIES FROM WHAT THE

439
02:02:48.016 --> 02:03:05.983
HENNEPIN COUNTY PROGRAM TYPICALLY ALLOWS, WHICH HENNEPIN COUNTY IS TYPICALLY PROVIDING ASSISTANCE FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE AT 30% A.M.I. AND HAVE A SUMMONS FOR AN EVICTION FILING. WE

440
02:03:05.983 --> 02:03:22.283
EXPECT THAT COMMUNITY MEMBERS CAN START APPLYING FOR THE FUNDING IN MID-APRIL. HENNEPIN COUNTY -- IF THIS J.P.A. IS APPROVED, HENNEPIN COUNTY WILL BE CONTRACTING WITH THEIR COMMUNITY-BASED PROVIDERS TO HELP WITH PROGRAM NAVIGATION, APPLICATION ENTRY, APPLICATION

441
02:03:22.283 --> 02:03:37.383
REVIEW, AND FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE DETERMINATION. FOR THOSE SEEKING ASSISTANCE OR FOR THOSE HELPING OTHERS APPLY FOR ASSISTANCE, YOU WI NEED TO WORK WITH ONE OF THE COMMUNITY-BASED CONTRACTEDED PROVIDERS. INITIALLY THESE WILL

442
02:03:37.383 --> 02:03:55.416
INCLUDE CLUES, MINNESOTA INDIAN WOMEN'S RESOURCE CENTER. IN ADDITION TO WORKING THROUGH THE COMMUNITY-BASED PROVIDERS TO ENTER AN APPLICATION, RESIDENTS CAN REACH OUT TO THE TENANT RESOURCE CONNECTION CENTER, TENANT CONNECTION GROUP TO START

443
02:03:55.416 --> 02:04:12.783
AND APPLICATION FOR THIS PROGRAM. WE'RE STILL GATHERING CONTACT CHANNELS FOR THE COMMUNITY-BASEPROVIDERS, BUT ONCE WE HAVE THOSE, THEY WILL BE PUBLISHED ON THE CITY'S WEBSITE AND PROVIDED TO COUNCIL MEMBERS FOR THEIR NEWSLETTERS. WITH THAT, I CONCLUDE MY PRESENTATION AND AM HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY

444
02:04:12.783 --> 02:04:29.050
QUESTIONS. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE PRESENTATION. FIRST IN QUEUE, W >> THANK YOU SO MUCH CHAIR CHOWDHURY AND THANK YOU FOR PRESENTING TO US. FIRST QUESTION, KIND OF QUICK. AS CHAIR CHOWDHURY MENTIONED, IT SOUNDS LIKE WE'RE GOING TO

445
02:04:29.050 --> 02:04:44.316
HOPEFULLY PUT FORWARD SOME ADDITIONAL DOLLARS. I THINK MY FIRST QUESTION IS, IS THIS ABLE TO BE AMENDED IF WE DO MOVE FORWARD WITH ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR THAT ADDITIONAL INVESTMENT? >> MY UNDERSTANDING THAT HENNEPIN COUNTY -- SO THEY WERE

446
02:04:44.316 --> 02:04:59.383
OUT AHEAD OF US IN THE APPROVAL OF THE JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT. HENNEPIN COUNTY THROUGH THEIR ACTION AUTHORIZED UP TO $2 MILLION TO BE ENTERED TOUGH THIS JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT. SO WE COULD EASILY ADD $2 MILLION IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO EXECUTION

447
02:04:59.383 --> 02:05:16.683
OF THE JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT. FOR THE ADDITIONAL, FOR ANY FUNDS IN ADDITION TO THAT, I BELIEVE HENNEPIN COUNTY WOULD HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE COUNTY BOARD FOR ACCEPTANCE OF THOSE FUNDS, BUT WE WOULD GO THROUGH AN AMENDMENT PROCESS WITH THE

448
02:05:16.683 --> 02:05:34.050
$2 MILLION MOVING THROUGH THE SYSTEM ALREADY. >> OKAY, SO SORRY, I AM JUST CLARIFYING FOR MYELP HERE. SO, RIGHT NOW WE CAN, IT WOULD BE AN ADDITIONAL $1 MILLION FOR A TOTAL OF $2 MILLION THAT WOULD BE ABLE TO BE AMENDED WITHOUT --

449
02:05:34.050 --> 02:05:51.500
>> CORRECT, WITHOUT GOING BACK. >> OKAY, THAT IS HELPFUL TO KNOW. THEN A LITTLE BIT OF AN UNDERSTANDING OF PARTICULARLY, IS THE 30% A.M.I. WHAT HENNEPIN COUNTY PREVIOUSLY USES THAT KIND OF TYPICAL FOR WHAT THEY USE OR

450
02:05:51.500 --> 02:06:08.133
IS THAT SOMETHING WE ADDED? >> THAT IS HENNEPIN COUNTY'S STANDARD. THEIR PROGRAM HAS A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT VALUE. BECAUSE OF WHERE THE FUNDING COMES FROM, IT'S PRACTICALLY 30% OF A.M.I.

451
02:06:08.133 --> 02:06:22.750
>> PERFECT. LAST QUEION HERE ABOUT THE RECEIPT OF A 30-DAY NOTICE OF EVICTION. IT SOUNDS LIKE WHAT HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY REQUIRED BY THE COUNTY IS AN EVICTION SUMMONS, SO WE ARE KIND

452
02:06:22.750 --> 02:06:40.700
OF PRESS -- PRESCRIPTIONING THE NOTICE ITSELF. >> YES. >> THAT'S HELPFUL. THANK YOU. >> I PUT MYSELF NEXT IN QUEUE AND THIS IS ALSO JUST CLARIFYING. THIS IS WHAT I WAS SAYING IN THE MIC EARLIER AND I WILL ALSO NOTE TO MEMBERS, IF

453
02:06:40.700 --> 02:06:59.500
THERE ARE THINGS YOU NEED TO SHARE WITH ME, YOUR MICS ARE ALSO QUIET. SO I HEARD COUNCIL MEMBER CHUGHTAI AS THE ONLY ONE GIVING ME THE FEEDBACK TO BE LOUDER. SO, I WILL BE MINDFUL OF THE MIC AS WELL. WE HAVE, FOR

454
02:06:59.500 --> 02:07:17.250
ITEM NUMBER 73 AND 74, THERE IS THE PASSAGE OF THE RESOLUTION AND THEN THERE IS A SECOND. THERE IS A .2 THAT SAYS AUTHORIZING  JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT FOR THE RENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM IN THE AMOUNT

455
02:07:17.250 --> 02:07:34.016
OF WHATEVER X-AMOUNT THAT WE NEED TO DO. MAYBE THIS IS FOR THE CITY ATTORNEY, COULD YOU TELL ME WHAT THAT MEANS IN TERMS OF AUTHORIZING THE JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT? BECAUSE IF WE AUTHORIZE IT WITH THE ADDITIONAL

456
02:07:34.016 --> 02:07:49.350
FUNDING, THE COUNTY BOARD STILL NEEDS TO APPROVE ACCEPTING THE FUNDING. COULD YOU CLARIFY WHAT THE PROCESS WOULD BE, SHOULD WE APPROVE THIS $1 MILLION AND THEN LOOK TO THE NEXT FEW ITEMS, SHOULD OTHER ITEMS PASS.

457
02:07:49.350 --> 02:08:04.300
>> THANK YOU CHAIR CHOWDHURY. YES, SO THESE HAVE BEEN STRUCTURED THE NEXT TWO ITEMS. OKAY. I WILL GET REALLY CLOSE. >> PROJECT. >> OKAY, I NEED IT TALLER. SO HOW THESE HAVE BEEN SET UP IS SO

458
02:08:04.300 --> 02:08:21.583
AT IF YOU PASS THE FIRST ONE, WHICH IS THE $1 MILLION, AUTHORIZED IN THE J.P.A., EACH OF THE NEXT TWO HAVE THE SECOND POINT  THOSE MOTIONS IS TO INCREASE THE J.P.A. THAT YOU WOULD HAVE AUTHORIZE FIRST WITH THOSE ADDITIONAL FUNDING AMOUNTS. NOW, AS YOU JUST HEARD

459
02:08:21.583 --> 02:08:37.016
ABOUT HENNEPIN COUNTY, THEY ALREADY APPROVED THE J.P.A. WITH UP TO A CERTAIN AMOUNT, SO RIGHT AS WAS STATED, IN ORDER FOR THEM TO MATCH, THEY WOULD HAVE TO GO BACK AND PRESUMABLY GET APPROVAL, BUT I CAN'T SPEAK TO WHAT THE COUNTY'S PROCESS WOULD

460
02:08:37.016 --> 02:08:53.816
BE, BUT THEY WOULD NEED TO GO BACK TO THE COUNTY BOARD TO AUTHORIZE UP TO WHATEVER AMOUNT THE CITY IS GOING TO PUT INTO THE J.P.A. >> GOT IT. >> SO THE FIRST VOTE WILL BE J.P.A. UP TO $1 MILLION, THEN HOWEVER THE COUNCILANTS TO DO

461
02:08:53.816 --> 02:09:10.383
IT, THE SECOND BULLET POINT FOR THE NEXT TWO WILL COVER THE ADDITIONAL FUNDING THAT WILL GO TO THE J.P.A., WHICH WILL BE FINALIZED WITH THE COUNTY. >> THANK YOU. THAT IS REALLY HELPFUL. THE CURRENT, UP TO AMOUNT IS $2 MILLION? >> YES. >> OKAY, SO IF THERE IS ANYTHING

462
02:09:10.383 --> 02:09:26.383
ADDITIONAL, I NEED TO GO TO THE COUNTY BOARD. IS THERE ANY ACTION THAT WE WOULD THEN NEED TO TAKE AS A BODY OR WOULD WE BE DONE ON OUR END? I'M LOOKI TO THE CITY ATTORNEYS. >> MY APOLOGIES. COULD YOU REPEAT THAT?

463
02:09:26.383 --> 02:09:42.450
>> SO IF WE GO OVER THAT $2 MILLION CAP AND THE COUNTY NEEDS TO TAKE ACTION, WOULD THIS COME BACK TO US AS A BODY OR WOULD WE BE DONE? >> WE WOULD BE DONE. >> OKAY, THANK YOU. I THINK THAT IS AN IMPORTANT PROCESS CLARIFICATION SO I REALLY

464
02:09:42.450 --> 02:09:58.283
APPRECIATE THAT. THEN, A COUPLE QUESTIONS FOR YOU. COULD YOU REPEAT THE PROVIDERS THAT WILL BE HPING DISTRIBUTE THIS FUNDING? >> SURE, FOR THE INITIAL $1 MILLION THAT WAS CONTEMPLATED WHEN WE DRAFTED THIS JOINT

465
02:09:58.283 --> 02:10:15.383
POWERS AGREEMENT, IT WOULD BE CLUES, AYE SORT ROON, AND MINNESOTA'S INDIAN WOMEN'S RESOURCE CENTER. >> AND THE COUNTY WOULD BE THE JURISDICTION THAT WOULD DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY AND PASS IT ALONG TO THE ORGANIZATIONS OR HOW DOES THAT WORK?

466
02:10:15.383 --> 02:10:31.383
>> NOPE, SO THE ORGANIZATIONS WOULD RECEIVE THE APPLICATION. THEY WOULD DO THE DETERMINATION. ONCE THE DETERMINATION IS MADE ON WHETHER THEY MEET THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS AND HOW MUCH ASSISTANCE THEY NEED, THOSE REC

467
02:10:31.383 --> 02:10:47.983
COUNTY AND THEN THE COUNTY ISSUES CHECKS DIRECTLY TO THE LANDLORDS ON THEIR BEHALF. >> DIRECTLY TO THE LANDLORD. OKAY, THAT WAS MY SECOND QUESTION, WHO DOES THE CHECK GO TO, IT GOES DIRECTLY TO THE LANDLORD, AND THEN THIS FUNDING AND FUTURE FUNDING SHOULD WE

468
02:10:47.983 --> 02:11:04.550
APPROVE MORE UNDER THIS J.P.A. WOULD STRICTLY FALL FOR RESIDENTS WITHIN THE BORDERS OF THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS? >> YES, I VER CLEARLY MADE THAT REQUIREMENT WITHIN THE J.P.A., THAT THEY NEED TO VERIFY THAT EY ARE LOCATED WITHIN THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS. >> GREAT, THANK YOU. THEN I WILL

469
02:11:04.550 --> 02:11:18.716
MAKE A COMMENT. I THINK IT IS EXTREMELY HELPFUL, ONE THAT THIS IS FOR THE BORDERS OF OUR CITY, BUT TWO, MORE IMPORTANTLY, THAT INSTEAD OF NEEDING TO WAIT FOR AN EVICTION FILING AT THE END OF

470
02:11:18.716 --> 02:11:36.850
THE MONTH, WE JUST USE THAT 30-DAY PREEVICTION NOTICE IN PLACE OF A POLICY FOR RESIDENTS TO USE FOR ELIGIBILITY. THAT WAS A LARGE PIECE OF DISCUSSION FOR US AS A COUNCIL WHEN WE FIRST TOOK UP THE 30-DAY PREEVICTION

471
02:11:36.850 --> 02:11:54.350
NOTICE, CREATING TIME FOR INDIVIDUALS TO RECEIVE EMERGENCY RENTAL ASSISTANCE. IT TAKES SOMETIME. I AM GRATEFUL THEY WILL BE ABLE TO USE THE 30-DAY PREEVICTION NOTICE INSTEAD OF WAITING FOR THAT ESCALATORY STEP OF AN EVICTION FILING. WE HAVE SEVERAL MEMBERS IN QUEUE. NEXT

472
02:11:54.350 --> 02:12:10.516
WILL BE COUNCIL MEMBER STEVENSON. >> THANK YOU. I JUST HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS. SO YOU SAID ELIGIBLE HOUSEHOLDS WILL BE MAKING 30% A.M.I. OR LESS. I WAS CURIOUS HOW THAT IS CALCULATED IN THIS SPECIFIC SITUATION.

473
02:12:10.516 --> 02:12:26.483
>> MY UNDERSTANDING -- OH SORRY, CHAIR CHOWDHURY, COUNCIL MEMBER, MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT HENNEPIN COUNTY USES 30 DAYS OF PREVIOUS INCOME, SO THEY LOOK BACK 30 DAYS, CALCULATE -- THEN THEY EXTRAPOLATE YOUR ANNUAL

474
02:12:26.483 --> 02:12:43.733
INCOME FROM THAT AND WITHIN THE 30 DAYS PRIOR TO SUBMITTING THEIR APPLICATION, THAT WOULD BE WHAT -- THAT IS THE INCOME THAT WOULD BE USED FOR THE CALCULATION. >> OK. SO, YEAH. OKAY. THEN,

475
02:12:43.733 --> 02:13:00.883
AM I CORRECT, I SAW IN HERE THAT 20% OF THE FUNDS ARE USED FOR ADMINISTRATION OF THE FUNDS? >> CHAIR CHOWDHURY, COUNCIL MEMBER, YES. >> IS THAT A TYPICAL AMOUNT? >> YES, THAT IS A FAIRLY STANDARD AMOUNT. WE HAVE RUN OTHER RENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS

476
02:13:00.883 --> 02:13:19.400
AND IT RANGED FROM 10% TO 20%, TOANAGE THESE FUNDS WITH OUR PARTNERS. >> OKAY, DO YOU HAPPEN TO KNOW IF THOSE FUNDS ARE GOING TO MIWRC OR IF THEY'RE GOING TO THE COUNTY? >> CHAIR CHOWDHURY, COUNCIL

477
02:13:19.400 --> 02:13:34.083
MEMBER STEVENSON, IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT HENNEPIN COUNTY IS CURRENTLY NOT GOING TO TAKE ANY OF THOSE FUNDS AND THEY WILL BE GOING TO THE NON-PROFIT PROVIDERS. >> OKAY, DO WE -- I MEAN OUR VERY NEXT ITEM IS APPROVING MORE MONEY FOR RENTAL ASSISTANCE. DO

478
02:13:34.083 --> 02:13:51.100
WE THINK THAT IT WILL STAY AT THAT 20%? >> CHAIR CHOWDHURY, JUST TO CLARIFY THE QUESTION, DO YOU MEAN ALL OF THE ASSISTANCE? THE BREAKDOWN BETWEEN THE TOTAL AMOUNT IS 20/80, OR THE

479
02:13:51.100 --> 02:14:06.300
ORGANIZATIONS WILL ONLY OPERATE WITH THE $200,000 OUT OF THE MILLION DOLLARS. >> KIND OF BOTH QUESTIONS. >> SURE. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT WE HAVE -- WE EXPECT -- HOW WE HAD THIS STRUCTURED WHEN WE

480
02:14:06.300 --> 02:14:24.233
ORIGINALLY PUT IT FORWA WAS THE 20/80 SPLIT. FOR THE FIRST $2 MILLN, THAT WOULD BE THE EXPECTATION THAT IT WOULD STAY THIS 20/80 SPLIT, BUT IT WOULD BE FOR THE TOTAL OF THE FUNDS THAT ARE COMING THROUGH. SO, CLUES, AYE SORT ROON, AND INDIAN

481
02:14:24.233 --> 02:14:41.933
WOMEN'S RESOURCE CENTER COULD BILL UP TO 20% OF THE TOTAL VALUE OF THE TOTAL J.P.A. FOR ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT AND WRAP AROUND SERVICES. >> OKAY. THANK YOU. >> COUNCIL MEMBER OSMAN.

482
02:14:41.933 --> 02:15:00.150
>> THANK YOU. LOOKING AT THE REQUIREMENT TO QUALIFY, YOU HAVE TO MEET ALL THREE TO QUALIFY. FOR ME, I SEE A PROBLEM HERE.

483
02:15:00.150 --> 02:15:15.750
30%, IT'S A HUGE BIG DEAL IN THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS. WHEN I'M THINKING OF THE NUMBERS YOU MENTIONED, IT'S ABOUT $36,000 FOR FAMILIES A YEAR, THAT'S A VERY, VERY LOW FOR PEOPLE TO QUALIFY. PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN

484
02:15:15.750 --> 02:15:32.583
EFFECTED HAVE BEEN WORKING. IF YOU ARE A PARENT OF COUPLES THAT EVEN MAKING EACH $36,000, THAT'S ALMOST LIKE 60%. IS THERE A WAY TO AMEND THAT, TO TELL THE

485
02:15:32.583 --> 02:15:50.283
COUNTY THAT TS IS REALLY LIMITING, AND WE ARE NOT GOING TO HELP A LOT OF PEOPLE. >> CHAIR CHOWDHURY, COUNCIL MEMBER OSMAN, I HEAR WHAT YOU ARE SAYING BUT THIS WAS A NON-NEGOTIABLE ELEMENT WITH HENNEPIN COUNTY. SO IF THIS IS SOMETHING WE WOULD WANT TO PURSUE, WE WOULD HAVE TO LIKELY

486
02:15:50.283 --> 02:16:06.783
FIND -- WE HAVE TO GO BACK TO RENEGOTIATE WI THEM OR WE WOULD HAVE TO FIND AN ALTERNATIVE GRANTOR TO WORK WITH TO PLACE THESE FUNDS. >> I REALLY SEE THI AS A HUGE PROBLEM. I WOULD SAY MAJORITY OF

487
02:16:06.783 --> 02:16:23.150
OUR RESIDENTS ARE, YOU KNOW, LIVE 60%, THAT NUMBER MAKES SENSE, BUT YOU ARE WRITING OFF A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE LOST INCOME THAT WERE MAKING, YOU

488
02:16:23.150 --> 02:16:40.183
KNOW, LIVABLE WAGES AND WE'RE LIMITING. THIS IS ONE OF THE THINGS WE DO NOT CHECK. OUR INTENTION IS TO HELP PEOPLE BUT THOSE REQUIREMENTS, UNDERLINE PRINT MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR FOLKS TO SEEK HELP. I THINK WE

489
02:16:40.183 --> 02:16:55.250
SHOULD GO BACK, NEGOTIATE, AND TALK ABOUT TODAY. WE WILL BE SENDING MORE, MORE AMOUNT OF MONEY TO THE COUNTY, MAYBE WE NEED A DIFFERENT APPROACH, SEE

490
02:16:55.250 --> 02:17:14.433
HOW WE CAN GIVE THIS FUNDING TO EITHER INTERNAL OR OTHER WAY OF GETTING THIS FUNDING OUT AND HELPING THOSE FOLKS. I THINK THAT WE'RE NOT REALLY THINKING ABOUT THE CONSEQUENCES OF HAVING ONLY 30% QUALIFY. MY LAST

491
02:17:14.433 --> 02:17:30.300
QUESTION IS, ARE THE ORGANIZATIONS THAT YOU MENTIONED THAT HAVE BEEN CONTRTED TO THE COUNTY, ARE THEY ACTIVELY WORKING? CAN PEOPLE GO TODAY TO GET HELP? >> CHAIR CHOWDHURY, COUNCIL MEMBER OSMAN, CURRENTLY THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO RECEIVE -- THEY ARE WORKING WITH THE COUNTY ON THE COUNTY'S CORE PROGRAM,

492
02:17:30.300 --> 02:17:47.566
THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GO TO THEM TODAY TO APPLY FOR CITY OF MINNEAPOS RESOURCES BECAUSE THE PROGRAM HAS NOT BEEN SET UP AT THIS POINT IN TIME BECAUSE THERE IS NO CONTRACTUAL RELATIO AND COUNTY. >> OKAY, I WILL DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THAT WE GO BACK TO THE

493
02:17:47.566 --> 02:18:04.800
NEGOTIATION TABLE AND FIGURE OUT HOW WE CAN INCREASE FROM 30% TO 60%. THANK YOU. >> COUNCIL MEMBER VETAW. >> THANK YOU CHAIR. THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. I GUESS I NEED TO CLARIFY, SO THE MILLION

494
02:18:04.800 --> 02:18:23.316
DOLLAR AGREEMENT WE'RE IN, IS THAT CURRENTLY A NON-EXISTING MILLION DOLLARS ORS THAT THE MILLION DOLLARS WE VOTED FOR A COUPLE MONTHS AGO? >> CHAIR CHOWDHURY, COUNCIL MEMBER VETAW, THAT IS THE MILLION DOLLARS THAT YOU APPROVED LAST MONTH. >> OKAY, ALL RIGHT. THANK U. SO THAT MLION DOLLARS IS NOT

495
02:18:23.316 --> 02:18:40.650
GOING INTO THE TRADITIONAL HENNEPIN COUNTY ONCE A YEAR, WHATEVER RENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM, IT'S GOING TO GO INTO THIS POT OF MONEY. OKAY. GOT IT. MY SECOND THING IS I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE PRESELECTION

496
02:18:40.650 --> 02:18:54.650
OF GROUPS THAT ARE GOING TO RECEIVE THE FUNDING. SO, SEVERAL THINGS THAT ARE RED FLAGS FOR ME. THEY ARE KNOWN SOUTH SIDE GROUPS AND WE HAVE A LOT OF FOLKS THAT NEED ASSISTANCE ON

497
02:18:54.650 --> 02:19:12.116
THE NORTH SIDE. I KNOW CLUES, I WORKED WITH THEM FOR MANY YEARS, BUT THEIR REACH IS NOT DEEP ON THE NORTH SIDE. ALSO, AYE SORT ROON, IN YOUR WORK COUNCIL MEMBER -- SORRY, WARD 9. WE HAVE

498
02:19:12.116 --> 02:19:28.883
FOLKS THAT NEED ASSISTANCE IN THE EAST AFRICAN COMMUNITY ON THE NORTH SIDE THAT MAY NOT BE CONNECTED TO THOSE. IT'S THE SAME WITH THE INDIAN RESOURCE CENTER. I JUST ALSO WANT TO SAY, I FEEL LIKE THE HMONG COMMUNITY IS LEF OUT OF THIS. THERE IS A

499
02:19:28.883 --> 02:19:46.550
LOT OF WORK ON THE LEFT SIDE WITH THE HMONG COMMUNITY AND THEY DIDN'T FEEL LIKE THEY WERE ACKNOWLEDGE IN THIS, IN MINNEAPOLIS. SO I WOULD LOVE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO GO BACK AND MAKE SURE THAT T GROUPS THAT WE'RE WORKING WITH REFLECT

500
02:19:46.550 --> 02:20:02.850
THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY. THIS LIST FOR ME DOES NOT REFLECT NORTH MINNEAPOLIS AT ALL. I THINK THERE ARE SOME GREAT GROUPS THAT WORK ACROSS ALL GROUPS OF PEOPLE TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY GET THE RENTAL ASSISTANCE THEY NEED. I

501
02:20:02.850 --> 02:20:19.500
WILL PLUG NORTH POINT. THEY WORK WITH ALL COMMUNITIES IN NORTH MINNEAPOLIS AND CAN BE A GREAT PARTNER. THEY ARE A HENNEPIN COUNTY AGENCY. I REALLY HOPE WE CAN GO BACK TO LOOK AT THIS LIST OF FOLKSND MAKE SURE THAT THE COMMUNITY PARTNERS ARE GOING TO REFLECT OUR ENTIRE CITY AND IT

502
02:20:19.500 --> 02:20:35.066
DOESN'T FEEL LIKE IT'S ONE PART OF THE CITY AND THAT WE CAN MEET PEOPLE WHERE THEY ARE AND THAT INCLUDES NORTHEAST TOO. THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE FROM NORTHEAST THAT REACHED OUT TO ME THAT WANTED SOME OF THE RESOURCES WE WERE COLLECTING ON THE NORTH SIDE THAT FELT LIKE A

503
02:20:35.066 --> 02:20:53.700
LOT OF THINGS WERE GOING TO THE SOUTH SIDE TOO. >> COUNCIL MEMBER WARREN. >> THANK YOU CHAIR. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTATION. MY

504
02:20:53.700 --> 02:21:10.266
SENTIMENTS EXACTLY WITH RESPECT TO WHAT MY COUNCIL COLLEAGUE SAID, THAT THIS IS VERY STEERED IN HOW WE ARE APPROACHING THE SUPPORTS THAT ARE NEEDED ACROSS THE CITY WITH INDIVIDUALS HAVING

505
02:21:10.266 --> 02:21:27.800
BARRIERS, INDIVIDUALS HAVING FEAR OF EVEN DEALING WITH THESE AGENCIES. NOW YOU HAVE TO TRAVEL CLEAR ACROSS THE CITY TO ARTICULATE WHATEVER YOUR NEED IS. IT'S NOT VERY FAIR TO THE RESIDENTS THAT LIVE IN THE NORTHERN PART OF THE CITY. ALSO,

506
02:21:27.800 --> 02:21:45.966
YOU STATED THAT IT WAS EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE FOR RENTAL, BUT THEN YOU ARE ALSO PROVIDING UTILITY SUPPORT AS WELL, SO THEN IF THAT'S THE CASE, THEN THE RENTAL ASSISTANCE COMPONENT IN THE JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT SHOULD BE

507
02:21:45.966 --> 02:22:03.000
TAKEN AWAY FROM THAT AND IT'S NOT JUST RENTAL ASSISTANCE BECAUSE OF UTILITIES ARE ALSO INCLUDE IN THAT, IT'S WHATEVER ACTIVATES THE EMERGENCY. SO, IF YOU DON'T HAVE GAS IN YOUR HOUSE, IF YOU DON'T HAVE ELECTRICITY, IF YOU DON'T -- YOU

508
02:22:03.000 --> 02:22:19.366
KNOW WHAT I MEAN? WHATEVER THE TARGETED EMERGENCY IS, AND I THOUGHT THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY DIUSSED AS LANGUAGE THAT WAS NOT GOING TO BE INCLUDED IN THAT, IF YOU WILL. >> CHAIR CHOWDHURY, COUNCIL

509
02:22:19.366 --> 02:22:36.266
MEMBER WARREN, THE HENNEPIN COUNTY PROGRAM PROVIDES BOTH RENTAL ASSISTANCE AND UTILITY ASSISTANCE. >> CORRECT. >> AND KEEPING IN TRACK WITH THE HENNEPIN COUNTY ESTABLISHED PROGRAM, HOWEVER WHAT TRIGGERS THE NEED IS THE RENTAL ASSISTANCE. YOU CANNOT APPLY

510
02:22:36.266 --> 02:22:54.750
INDEPENDENTLY FOR UTILITY ASSTANCE AND THE THOUGHT PROCESS BEHIND THAT IS, AS YOU WERE JUST SAYING, IT'S CHALLENGING TO HAVE TO GO TO ONE ORGANIZATION TO ASK FOR ASSISTANCE. IT'S EVEN MORE CHALLENGING TO HAVE TO GO TO MULTIPLE ORGANIZATIONS FOR

511
02:22:54.750 --> 02:23:11.216
ASSISTANCE. SO THE THEORY BEHIND ALLOWING PEOPLE TO APPLY FOR UTILITY ASSISTANCE WHEN THE HAVE A RENTAL CRISIS IS TO STABILIZE THEIR HOUSING ASSISTANCE IN TOTALITY THROUGH ONE RENTAL ASSISTANCE PROCESS. >> I AM GOING TO DISAGREE WITH

512
02:23:11.216 --> 02:23:27.450
YOU ON THAT BECAUSE IF ALL OF YOUR FUNDING HAS TO BE UTILIZED TO TARGET YOUR EMERGENCY, IF I USED ALL OF MY FUNDS TO PAY MY RENTAL SERVICE, BUT THEN I STILL NEEDED ASSISTANCE WITH MY

513
02:23:27.450 --> 02:23:44.616
UTILITIES IN ORDER TO KEEP MY FOOD IN MY REFRIGERATOR COLD OR KEEP THE HEAT ON, OR WHATEVER ELSE THE CASE IS BUT ALL OF MY FUNDING WENT TO THAT, IT STILL TARGETS AN EMERGENCY OR WHATEVER THE SITUATION IS. THEY WOULD STILL BE EGIBLE FOR THAT. YOU

514
02:23:44.616 --> 02:24:02.150
SAID THESE FUNDS WILL BE USED FOR THOSE THINGS AS WELL. >> CHAIR CHOWDHURY, COUNCIL MEMBER WARREN, TS IS A RENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM, SO THE EMERGENCY THAT IS CREATED IS FOR THE -- CREATED BY THE INABILITY OF THE 30-DAY EVICTION NOTICE. WHILE I HEAR THAT PEOPLE MAY

515
02:24:02.150 --> 02:24:18.566
HAVE PRIORITIZED THE USE OF THEIR FUNDS TO PAY THEIR RENT IN LIEU OF PAYING FOR THEIR UTILITIES, THERE ARE UTILITY ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS. I AM HAPPY TO PROVIDE LINKS TO THOSE

516
02:24:18.566 --> 02:24:35.483
PROGRAMS AS PART OF MY INFORMATION THAT IS PUBLISHED ON THESE ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS. >> OKAY, THANK YOU FOR THAT. I AM AWARE OF THE UTILITY ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS, I JUST THOUGHT THAT WAS PART OF THIS CONVERSATION WHEN YOU WERE

517
02:24:35.483 --> 02:24:51.533
SAYING RENT AND UTILITIES WITH RESPECT TO THIS. SO THEN MY NEXT AREA OF CONCERN IS ARE INDIVIDUALS IN THIS JOINT POWER AGREEMENT, IF THEY ALREADY APPLIED FOR EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE WITH THE COUNTY BEFORE, WILL THEY BE ELIGIBLE FOR THIS

518
02:24:51.533 --> 02:25:07.566
FUNDING BECAUSE HENNEPIN COUNTY HAS A ONE TIME IN 12 MONTH TIME PERIOD THAT YOU CAN APPLY FOR THAT. SO WILL INDIVIDUALS WHO APPLY FOR THIS, IF THEY ALREADY RECEIVED EMERGENCY ASSTANCE THROUGH THE COUNTY BEFORE, WILL THEY BE ELIGIBLE FOR THIS

519
02:25:07.566 --> 02:25:23.166
ASSISTANCE, SHOULD THEY HAVE TO COME AND APPLY AGAIN. >> CHAIR CHOWDHURY, COUNCIL MEMBER WARREN, THAT IS A GREAT QUESTION. THE COUNTY JUST INSTITUTED THE $10,000 LIFETIME CAP, ANNUAL CAP. MY UNDERSTANDING OF HOW THEY ARE

520
02:25:23.166 --> 02:25:40.333
PROCEEDING, HOW THEY WILL MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS IS IF YOU ALREADY RECEIVE $10,000, YOU WOULD NOT BE ELIGIBLE FOR THIS FUNDING. IF THEY WERE GOING TO ANALYZE A FUTURE APPLICATION IN

521
02:25:40.333 --> 02:25:54.533
YOUR RECEIVED CITY FUNDING, THE CITY FUNDING WOULD APPLY TO THAT $10,000 CAP. >> AND THE $10,000 CAP STARTED WHEN? >> I AM UNSURE. I WOULD HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE COUNTY AND ASK THEM. >> OKAY. I AM REALLY CURIOUS TO KNOW WHEN THEY STARTED THE CLOCK

522
02:25:54.533 --> 02:26:12.900
ON THAT $10,000 CAP. FOR WHAT A FAMILY IS ABLE TO RECEIVE BECAUSE THAT IS EASY TO COUNT UP WHEN IT'S A SECURITY DEPOSIT, FIRST MONTH'S RENT, SECURITY ASSISTANCE TO MOVE INTO SOME

523
02:26:12.900 --> 02:26:29.500
PLACE, AND CALCULATED EMERGENCIES. IF YOU HAVE A $10,000 CAP OVER YOUR HEAD WITH A FAMILY SIZE OF WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE, THAT CAN DEFINITELY QUITE SPENDY.

524
02:26:29.500 --> 02:26:45.533
>> CHAIR CHOWDHURY, COUNCIL MEMBER WARREN, I JUST WANTED TO MAKE ONE POINT OF CLARIFICATION. YOU NEED TO BE -- TO USE THESE FUNDS AND TO ACCESS THESE FUNDS, YOU WOULD NEED TO BE IN AN EXISTING UNIT. WE'RE NOT PAYING FOR THINGS LIKE SECURITY DEPOSITS AND HOUSING RELOCATION

525
02:26:45.533 --> 02:27:03.166
COSTS AS PART OF THIS PROGRAM. IT IS JUST FOR BACK RENT AND IN SOME CASES FORWARD RENT DEPENDING -- >> NO, I UNDERSTAND THAT. I AM SAYING FOR THE COUNTY'S $10,000 CAP BECAUSE THE COUNTY DOES. SO IF THERE WAS A SITUATION WHERE SOMEONE HAD UTILIZED COUNTY

526
02:27:03.166 --> 02:27:19.900
ASSISTANCE IN ORDER TO HELP SUPPLEMENT THOSE COSTS ON THE OTHER END, THIS, THIS MIGHT BE A BARRIER ON THE BACK END. THAT'S WHAT I'M STATING. >> THANK YOU. >> YES. >> VICE CHAIR CHUGHTAI. >> THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR. I JUST

527
02:27:19.900 --> 02:27:36.733
WANTED TO THANK STAFF FOR YOUR WORK ON THIS. I KNOW THAT ALL OF YOU HAVE BEEN WORKING VERY DILIGENTLY TO TURN THIS AROUND AND IT'S REALLY AWESOME THAT WE ARE, THAT WE ARE HERE RIGHT NOW AND I FEEL LIKE IN YOUR PRESENTATION YOU MAY HAVE MENTIONED THAT THE GOAL HERE IS

528
02:27:36.733 --> 02:27:52.200
FOR THIS FUNDING TO BECOME AVAILABLE FOR RESIDENTS TO APPLY AROUND MID-RIL. AM I CAPTURING THAT CORRECTLY? >> CHAIR CHOWDHURY, COUNCIL MEMBER CHUGHTAI, YES. WE'RE HOPING THIS WILL BE INACTIONABLE BY MID-APRIL.

529
02:27:52.200 --> 02:28:09.700
>> THAT'S SO EXCELLENT. YOU KNOW, THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE THAT CONTINUE TO FALL BEHIND AND YOU KNOW, WE SEE THE RATES OF PRE-EVICTION FILINGS AND EVICTION FILINGS CONTINUING TO INCREASE THAT AT A PACE THAT IS

530
02:28:09.700 --> 02:28:25.933
DRAMATIC AND DOES NOT FEEL LIKE SOMETHING WE WILL BE ABLE TO KEEP UP WITH, SO IT'S JUST SO CRITICAL THAT PEOPLE WILL BE ABLE TO ACCESS THIS FUNDING IN JUST A FEW WEEKS HERE, IN ABOUT THREE WEEKS HERE. CAN YOU TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT -- I KNOW ALL THREE OF THE ORGANIZATIONS

531
02:28:25.933 --> 02:28:42.800
YOU LISTED ARE ONES THAT DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC WERE CRITICAL IN THAT IT HEL CONTRACTS TO DISPERSE RESOURCES THROUGH WHAT RENT HELP M.N. AND OTHER TYPES OF PROGRAMS LIKE

532
02:28:42.800 --> 02:28:59.700
THAT. SO, HAS THERE BEEN ANY CONVERSATION AS TO HOW WE WILL BE COMMUNICATING WITH RESIDENTS OF OUR CITY SO THAT THEY KNOW THAT THERE IS A RESOURCE AVAILABLE? >> CHAIR CHOWDHURY, COUNCIL MEMBER CHUGHTAI, YES. WE HAVE

533
02:28:59.700 --> 02:29:14.033
STARTED CONVERSATIONS WITH THE COUNTY. THE COUNTY WILL BE THERE. THEY ARE THE CONTRACT HOLDER WITH THOSE ENTITIES. WE STARTED A CONVERSATION WITH THE COUNTY ON HOW OUR RESIDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO CONNECT WITH THE

534
02:29:14.033 --> 02:29:31.700
PROVIDERS ONLINE VIA E-MAIL, VIA TELEPHONE, BUT WE DON'T HAVE THAT INFORMATION YET BECAUSE WE'RE EARLY IN THE DAYS OF FINALIZING THAT WORK WITH THEM.

535
02:29:31.700 --> 02:29:48.816
ONCE THAT IS OBTAED, I WILL POST IT ON THE CITY'S WEBSITE AND DISPERSE THAT INFORMATION TO YOU THROUGH NEWS BITES. I WANT TO PROVIDE THE INFORMATION TO THE SCHOOL SOCIAL WORKERS, BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF THEY

536
02:29:48.816 --> 02:30:05.516
WERE AN IMPORTANT VECTOR ON HOW THIS INFORMATION IS DISSIMULATED TO PEOPLE AND GET THE WORD OUT TO FOLKS THAT NEED THE ASSISTANCE. >> THAT'S REALLY EXCELLENT. I AM JUST WONDERING, KNOWING THAT ALL THREE OF THESE ORGANIZATIONS HAVE EXPERIENCE IN DOING THIS IN

537
02:30:05.516 --> 02:30:22.283
MOMENTS OF CRISIS IN OUR COMMUNITY, I CANNOT IMAGINE YOU HAVE THIS DATA ON HAND SO I AM GOING TO SAY THAT ON THE FRONT END. IT'S TOTALLY OKAY AND I WOULD LOVE A FOLLOW UP. I APPRECIATE THERE ARE CONCERNS AROUND THE ORGANIZATIONS THAT

538
02:30:22.283 --> 02:30:42.400
ARE LISTED HERE AND WHETHER THEY ARE SUFFICIENT FOR THE SCALE OF THE PROBLEM THAT IS FACING OUR COMMUNITY. I APPRECIATE ALSO FROM THE GOVERNMENT AGENCY PERSPECTIVE, BOTH CPED AND THE

539
02:30:42.400 --> 02:30:58.066
COUNTY, THAT WE WANT TO WORK WITH PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND THE EXPERIENCE TO BE ABLE TO DILIGENTLY AND SWIFTLY GET THESE RESOURCES OUT TO THE COMMUNITY O ALL THE RELEVANT LAWS AND THAT

540
02:30:58.066 --> 02:31:14.133
MAKES A LOT OF SENSE TO ME. I THINK SOMETHING THAT MIGHT HELP ALLEVIATE THIS CONCERN IS IF WE CAN GET SOME DATA THAT HELPS US UNDERSTAND JUST HISTORICALLY THE GEOGRAPHIC POPULATION THAT EACH OF THESE ORGANIZATIONS WAS ABLE

541
02:31:14.133 --> 02:31:30.833
TO SERVE THROUGH THEIR PROGRAMS AND HOW THAT COMPARED TO RATES OF EVICTION. SO LET'S SAY THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE CITY, SO NORTH SIDE, NORTHEAST, MADE UP

542
02:31:30.833 --> 02:31:47.000
THE MAJORITY OF EVICTION FILINGS, BUT THE ASSISTANCE THAT WENT OUT, YOU KNOW, ONLY 30% OF IT WAS GOING TO THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE CITY. I FIND THAT CONCERNING. I THINK YOU WOULD TOO. OR I THE OPPOSITE IS TRUE,

543
02:31:47.000 --> 02:32:04.433
THE CASE MAY BE. IF WE COULD GET DATA ON THE POPULATIONS THAT WERE SERVED GEOGRAPHICALLY FROM RENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS, HISTORICALLY, I THINK THAT WOULD REALLY HELP. IS THAT SOMETHING THAT IS POSSIBLE TO GATHER?

544
02:32:04.433 --> 02:32:19.633
>> CHAIR CHOWDHURY, COUNCIL MEMBER CHUGHTAI,LY HAVE TO ASK THOSE PARTICULAR ORGANIZATIONS. I KNOW I WORKED WITH CLUES VERY CLOSELY WHEN WE HAD FEDERAL EMERGENCY RENTS ASSISTANCE AND THEY PROVIDED ASSISTANCE TO OUR SPANISH SPEAKING POPULATION

545
02:32:19.633 --> 02:32:38.266
THROUGHOUT THE CITY. SO I DO KNOW THEY HAVE BROADER GEOGRAPHIC PRESENCE OR SERVICE AREAS OTHER THAN JUST FOR THEIR PHYSICAL PRESENCE HAPPENS TO BE IN THE CITY. I CAN FOLLOW UP WITH THE COUNTY AND ASK WHAT INFORMATION MAY BE AVAILABLE. >> THANK YOU VERY, VERY MUCH.

546
02:32:38.266 --> 02:32:53.933
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR. >> VICE PRESIDENT OSMAN. >> ITEPPED OUT, SORRY. MAYBE YOU ANSWERED THE QUESTION. I WAS WONDERING THE GOAL IS TO REALLY GET THE MONEY OUT TO THE RESIDENTS THAT NEED IT MOST AND

547
02:32:53.933 --> 02:33:09.866
SOME OF THE CONCERNS THAT HAVE BEEN RAISED OF COURSE IS THE REQUIREMENT PIECE AND ALSO THE ORGANIZATIONS HAVING NORTH SIDE SUPPORT. WE HAVE ONE DAY LEFT.

548
02:33:09.866 --> 02:33:26.666
IF THERE IS A WAY WE CAN MEET OR HOPE TO MEET COUNTY ADMINISTRATI OR COUNTY INDIVIDUALS THAT YOU HAVE BEEN TALKING TO OR THE LEADERSHIP TO SEE EVEN IF WE CAN GET A FIRM

549
02:33:26.666 --> 02:33:44.600
ARGUMENT THAT SOMETHING COULD BE AMENDED. >> CHAIR CHOWDHURY, COUNCIL MEMBER OSMAN, I CAN ATTEMPT TO REACH OUT TO THE COUNTY, BUT I WILL TELL YOU THE COUNTY BOARD HAS ALREADY APPROVED THIS J.P.A. WITH A 30% A.M.I. REQUIREMENT. IN CONVERSATIONS PREVIOUS WITH

550
02:33:44.600 --> 02:34:00.366
THE -- IN PREVIOUS CONVERSATIONS WITH THE COUNTY, THEY SHARED WITH ME THAT IT MAY BE POSSIBLE TO ADD ADDITIONAL PROVIDERS TO THE J.P.A. WITHOUT HAVING TO GO BACK TO THE COUNTY BOARD BECAUSE THAT DOESN'T TRIGGER A COUNTY BOARD AMENDMENT, BUT IF WE WERE

551
02:34:00.366 --> 02:34:17.700
GOING TO CHANGE THAT LEVEL OF REQUIREMENT, I BELIEVE THEY WOULD WANT TO REOPENHE J.P.A. NEGOTIATION COMPLETELY AND THAT WOULD SET US BACK TO HAVING TO GO TO COUNTY BOARD, SO AN IMPLEMENTATION IN MID-APRIL WOULD LIKELY CHANGE TO AN

552
02:34:17.700 --> 02:34:34.066
IMPLEMENTATION IN MID-MAY BECAUSE THE COUNTY BOARD ONLY MEETS ONCE A MONTH. >> OKAY. THIS IS SOMETHING WE HAVEN'T SEEN HAPPEN TO OUR RESIDENTS AND REQUIRES SOME KIND

553
02:34:34.066 --> 02:34:48.800
OF WAY OF BEING, OF MOVING AROUND THE SYSTEM WE HAVE AND THINK ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS TO OUR RESIDENTS. THE COUNTY DOES GREAT THINGS BUT AS THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS, OUR VISION FOR US IS TO HELP THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE

554
02:34:48.800 --> 02:35:06.100
BEEN AFFECTED. SOME OF YOU DON'T SEE IN THE CONTRACT, IT REQUIRES FOR INDIVIDUALS WHEN THEY BRING THAT PIECE OF HAVING EVICTION NOTICE. DO YOU HAVE A

555
02:35:06.100 --> 02:35:23.883
JOB? IF YOU DON'T HAVE A JOB, WE'RE NOT GOING TO PAY YOU BECAUSE WE NEED TO KNOW HOW YOU WILL PAY NEXT MONTH OR THE FOLLOWING MONTH. WE NEED AN OFFER LETTER FROM YOU. IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT PUSHES

556
02:35:23.883 --> 02:35:40.450
PEOPLE EVICTION AND FOR THEM GETTING T MONEY AT LEAST THAT MONTH AND FOR THEM TO PAY THEIR RENT. THEN THEY CAN THINK ABOUT HOW THEY WILL PAY FOR THE FOLLOWING MONTHS. IS THAT REQUIREMENT INCLUDED IN THIS?

557
02:35:40.450 --> 02:35:58.216
ARE PEOPLE REQUIRED TO HAVE A JOB TO GET THE FUNDING? >> CHAIR CHOWDHURY, COUNCIL MEMBER OSMAN, MY UNDERSTANDING OF THIS PROGRAM IS IT'S AN EMERGENCY RENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. IT'S NOT THEIR EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. THAT'S E.A. OR E.G.A., THOSE ARE

558
02:35:58.216 --> 02:36:13.050
DIFFERENT PROGRAMS WITH DIFFERENT FUNDING SOURCES. SO AS FAR AS I KNOW, THERE WILL NOT BE A TEST THAT PEOPLE -- LIKE A TEST I GUESS I WILL SAY, THAT REQUIRES, THAT LOOKS TO SEE IF THIS IS A TENABLE SITUATION ONGOING. IS THIS GOING TO KEEP

559
02:36:13.050 --> 02:36:30.750
YOU IN YOUR APARTMENT RIGHT NOW? >> OKAY. HELPFUL. YEAH, HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET SOME KIND OF CONTACT BEFORE THURSDAY. THANK YOU. >> COUNCIL MEMBER VETAW. >> THANK YOU CHAIR. I THINK YOU MIGHT HAVE ANSWERED MY QUESTION

560
02:36:30.750 --> 02:36:46.450
BUT I WAS RAMBLING BEFORE SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE I GET THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION. IS THERE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO EXPAND THE LIST OF COMMUNITY PARTNERS? >> CHAIR CHOWDHURY, COUNCIL MEMBER VETAW, I BELIEVE SO. I CAN REACH OUT TO T COUNTY. WHEN WE INITIALLY TALKED ABOUT

561
02:36:46.450 --> 02:37:03.183
THIS, IT WAS A $1 MILLION PROGRAM. WHEN YOU THINK OF A $1 MILLION PROGRAM, THAT'S $333,000 ESSENTIALLY GOING TO EACH ENTITY. THE MORE MONEY YOU HAVE, THE MORE ABOUT YOU HAVE TO EXPAND PROVIDERS. SO I WILL GO BACK TO TALK TO THEM TO SEE IF

562
02:37:03.183 --> 02:37:18.116
THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY, TO SEE WHO THEIR EXISTING CONTRACTORS ARE THAT WE MAY PARTNER WITH THE CITY'S FUNDING TO REACH BROADER GEOGRAPHIC AREA. >> I APPRECIATE THAT. WHY I AM PUING ON THIS IS COMING UP THERE COULD BE MORE MONEY GOI

563
02:37:18.116 --> 02:37:35.516
INTO THIS POOL OF MONEY, RIGHT? SO BECAUSE OF THAT, I AM GOING TO PUT A PLUG IN FOR CAP HC, A COUNTY PARTNERSHIP THAT I SIT ON THE BOARD OF. THEY DO RENTAL ASSISTANCE, THEY DO UTILITY ASSISTANCE, AND THE AMOUNT OF APPLICATIONS HAS WENT UP

564
02:37:35.516 --> 02:37:52.416
ASTRONOMICALLY IN THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS. THEY HAVE ALWAYS HAD A NEED FOR BACK FILL AND THEY SPAN THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS, IN EVERY COMMUNITY, AND AS I SAID,

565
02:37:52.416 --> 02:38:08.966
A SOUTHEAST ASIAN PARTNERSHIP, ONE OF THE OTHER GROUPS, I MEAN THE GROUPS YOU NAMED, I THINK THEY DO FANTASTIC WORK. NOTHING I AM SAYING IS AGAINST THE GROUPS WHO HAVE BN SELECTED. WE ALL KNOW THAT PEOPLE LIKE SERVICE FROM PEOPLE WHO LOOK

566
02:38:08.966 --> 02:38:26.266
LIKE THEM, PEOPLE THAT SPEAK THE LANGUAGE THEY SPEAK. THAT IS A LOT EASIER FOR FOLKS TO NAVIGATE THROUGH WHEN THEY ARE IN NEED OF SOCIAL SERVICES. SO I AM NOT BE NO MEANS TRYING TO TAKE AWAY FROM THE GROUPS THAT ARE SELECTED. I JUST DON'T THINK THAT THESE GROUPS NECESSARILY

567
02:38:26.266 --> 02:38:42.233
COVER WHERE I'VE HEARD AND SEEN THE NEED FOR IN THIS COMMUNITY RIGHT NOW. SO, IF WE COULD LOOK AT OPPORTUNITIES TO ADD A COUPLE MORE PARTNERS, ESPECIALLY IF THERE IS GOING TO BE MORE MONEY ADDED TO THIS, I JUST THINK THAT IS FAIR TO EVERYONE TO FEEL REPRESENTED IN THE DECISIONS

568
02:38:42.233 --> 02:39:00.233
WE'RE MAKING HERE. >> CHAIR CHOWDHURY, COUNCIL MEMBER VETAW, THAT IS INPUT THAT WE HAD NOT CONCERNED -- CONSIDERED WHEN WE WERE TALKING TO THEM INITIALLY. I WILL TALK TO THEM TO SEE IF WE CAN BROADEN OUT THE PARTNERS.

569
02:39:00.233 --> 02:39:16.833
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> COUNCIL MEMBER WONSLEY. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH CHAIR CHOWDHURY. I JUST WANTED TO KNOW AS ONE OF THE LEAD AUTHORS ON THE RENTAL ASSISTANCE. I AM THANKFUL TO STAFF AND THEIR EXPERTISE AND GUIDING THE

570
02:39:16.833 --> 02:39:32.566
PARTNERSHIP WITH THE COUNTY SO THAT WE COULD HAVE SOME PRETTY CLEAR ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS, WHICH I HEARD TIME AND TIME AGAIN FROM A NUMBER OF THE BODY YING THERE IS A CONCERN WITH A BLANKET APPROACH AND THEY WANT TO MAKE SURE THERE IS A TARGETED FOCUS OF HOW WE'RE GETTING THESE

571
02:39:32.566 --> 02:39:48.666
DOLLARS TO THOSE MOST IN NEED AND WHO HAVE BEEN IMPACTED THE MOST. SO, I AM GRATEFUL TO HAVE A J.P.A. THAT SPELLS THOSE THINGS OUT SO CLEARLY AROUND PEOPLE THAT HAVE FRAGILE AND VULNERABLE AND A MADE MORE

572
02:39:48.666 --> 02:40:04.300
VULNERABLE BECAUSE OF OPERATION METRO SURGE. I HEARD COUNCIL MEMBER OSMAN'S CONCERNS AND WE'RE COMMITTED TO GET THIS MEETING IF POSSIBLE WITH HENNEPIN COUNTY TO TALK ABOUT SOME OF THAT AND T HEAR THE FEEDBACK AROUND EXPANDING THE NUMBER OF PROVIDERS, ESPECIALLY

573
02:40:04.300 --> 02:40:20.800
IF WE'RE ABLE TO PASS ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR RENTAL ASSISTANCE. THE MORE, THE MERRIER. SO WANTED TO NAME, THERE IS SIGNIFICANT CONCERN THAT WE PASSED THIS IN FEBRUARY WITH THE GOAL OF

574
02:40:20.800 --> 02:40:36.266
GETTING THESE DOLLARS OUT THE DOOR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND HAVING A LEGAL AGREEMENT THAT ALLOWS US TO BE VERY PRECISE IN WHO WE ARE TRYING TO TART AND TRYING TO EITHER VERY RI FROM THAT TO THE POINT WHERE IT DELAY

575
02:40:36.266 --> 02:40:54.200
IT IS ADMINISTRATION OF THOSE DOLLARS FURTHER, THAT POINT CONCERNS ME. SO I AM OPEN TO TAKE THE NEXT DAY, HOPEFULLY AHEAD OF THURSDAY, TO TRY TO RESOLVE SOME OF THESE CONCERNS. WITH TH, I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE THE MOTION FOR APPROVAL.

576
02:40:54.200 --> 02:41:10.200
>> SECOND. >> AWOME. >> VICE CHAIR CHUGHTAI. >> THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR. YEAH, YOU KNOW, I WAS GOING TO SAY A COUPLE OF THE THINGS THAT COUNCIL MEMBER WONSLEY JUST DID,

577
02:41:10.200 --> 02:41:27.600
BUT JUST TO SPEAK BRIEFLY. IN DEFENSE OF THE 30% A.M.I. REQUIREMENT, I HEAR ERYONE HERE SAYING LIKE WE WANT TO HELP THE PEOPLE WHO NEED IT THE MOST. OBJECTIVELY, PEOPLE AT 30% A.M.I. ARE THE PEOPLE THAT NEED IT THE MOST. THAT'S WHO WE'RE

578
02:41:27.600 --> 02:41:43.800
HELPING. YOU KNOW, I APPRECIATE THAT AS A RESULT OF OPERATION METRO SURGE, YOU KNOW, BASED ON THE CITY'S OWN STUDY OF THIS, OF THE ECONOMIC IMPACT, THE NEED FOR RENTAL ASSISTANCE EXCEEDS

579
02:41:43.800 --> 02:42:01.033
APPROXIMATELY $15 MILLION A MONTH, THAT SIGNIFICANT LOSS IN HOURS OR REDUCTION I HOURS OR JOB LOSS HAS HAPPENED AS A RESULT OF BUSINESSES SHUTTING DOWN. SOMETHING I APPRECIATE ABOUT THIS J.P.A. AND HOW THIS

580
02:42:01.033 --> 02:42:17.566
MONEY IS GOING TO BE DISPERSED IS THAT IT'S LOOKING NOT AT YOUR WAGES FROM THE ENTIRE PREVIOUS YEAR AND YOUR FAMILY'SNCOME FROM THE ENTIRE PREVIOUS YEAR, BUT JUST THE PREVIOUS MONTH. IF YOU ARE SOMEONE THAT HAS BEEN IMPACTED BY A LOSS OF HOURS IN

581
02:42:17.566 --> 02:42:34.266
YOUR SERVICE JOB BECAUSE YOUR BUSINESS ISPEN LESS BECAUSE OF THE FEDERAL OCCUPATION AND NOW SUDDENLY YOUR ECONOMIC POSITION HAS CHANGED, THAT YOUR LIKELIHOOD TO QUALIFY IS GOING TO INCREASE, THAT IF YOU LOST

582
02:42:34.266 --> 02:42:51.916
YOUR JOB ENTIRELY. YOU KNOW, PREVIOUSLY YOU WOULD NOTAVE QUALIFIED WITH THE 30% A.M.I. REQUIREMENT BUT YOUR CONDITIONS HAVE CHANGED AS A RESULT OF WHAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING IN OUR COMMUNITY, THAT THIS OPENS THE DOOR FOR ELIGIBILITY. SO,

583
02:42:51.916 --> 02:43:08.916
REALLY, REALLY WANT TO SPEAK IN HIGH REGARD FOR THIS REQUIREMENT THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT THE PREVIOUS MONTH AND REALLY LOOKING AT THE CURRENT ECONOMIC CONDITIONS OF EACH APPLICANT OR EACH RESIDENT THAT IS SEEKING

584
02:43:08.916 --> 02:43:25.816
ASSISTANCE. THIS IS A REALLY EXCELLENT THING, REALLY EXCITED TO VOTE IN SUPPORT OF THIS AND URGE OTHERS TO JOIN ME IN MAKING SURE THAT WE ARE OPENING UP RENTAL ASSISTANCE TO RESIDENTS OF OUR CITY AS EARLY AS 2 TO 3

585
02:43:25.816 --> 02:43:42.916
WEEKS FROM NOW. >> THANK YOU COUNCIL MEMBER. I WILL BE VERY BRIEF. I SECOND THE REMARKS ON 30% A.M.I. AND STAYING ON THE TEAM LINE IN ORDER FOR THIS TO HAPPEN IN

586
02:43:42.916 --> 02:43:59.183
APRIL. I SECOND THE REMARKS ABOUT BEING GEOGRAPHICALLY INCLUSIVE TO THE NORTH SIDE. IF WE CAN GET INFORMATION BY OUR MEETING ON THURSDAY ON WHICH PROVIDERS THE COUNTY WOULD BE ABLE TO DEDICATE, I THINK THAT WOULD BE EXCELLENT AND I THINK

587
02:43:59.183 --> 02:44:16.250
THAT WOULD ALLOW THIS BODY TO MOVE FORWARD UNANIMOUSLY. I THINK THAT IS A REALLY EXCELLENT POINT THAT COUNCIL MEMBER VETAW AND COUNCIL MEMBER WARREN BROUGHT FORWARD. SO MEMBERS, I AM NOT SEEING ANYONE ELSE IN DISCUSSION. NOT SEEING ANYONE

588
02:44:16.250 --> 02:44:33.566
WITH THE MOTION BEFORE US TO MOVE THIS FOR APPROVAL. I WILL ASK THE CLERK TCALL THE ROLL. >> PAYNE. >> AYE. >> COUNCIL MEMBER WONSLEY IS ABSENT. COUNCIL MEMBER RAINLLE. >> AYE. >> VETAW. >> AYE. >> WARREN. >> AYE.

589
02:44:33.566 --> 02:44:49.816
>> OSMAN IS ABSENT. COUNCIL MEMBER SHAFFER. >> AYE. >> STEVENSON IS ABSENT. COUNCIL MEMBER CHAVEZ. >> AYE. >> WHITING. >> AYE. >> PALMISANO. >> AYE. >> VICE CHAIR CHUGHTAI. >> AYE. >> CHAIR CHOWDHURY. >> AYE. >> WE HAVE 10 AYES.

590
02:44:49.816 --> 02:45:07.366
>> THAT MOTION CARRIES. COUNCIL MEMBER STEVENSON AND COUNCIL MEMBER WONSLEY -- >> AYE. OSMAN, WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE MARK IN THE AFFIRMATIVE? FOR THE RENTAL ASSISTANCE JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT. >> WITHOUT RECOMMENDATION, YES.

591
02:45:07.366 --> 02:45:26.250
>> NO, TO MOVE IT FORWARD WITH RECOMMENDATION. SO I HAVE AN AYE FROM COUNCIL MEMBER WONSLEY, I NEED TO GET THE VOTE FOR COUNCIL MEMBER SVENSON AND THEN COUNCIL VICE PRESIDENT. >> AYE. >> AYE. >> IF THERE IS NO OBJECTION, WE

592
02:45:26.250 --> 02:45:43.366
HAVE 13 AYES. >> EXCELLENT, WITH THAT MEMBERS I AM GOING TO BREAK US FOR 10 MINUTES FOR A BIO BREAK AND THEN WE WILL RETURN AND WE WILL FINISH THE RENTAL ASSISTANCE PORTION AND GET TO PUBLIC SAFETY FACILITIES AND THEN WE WILL BREAK FOR LUNCH.

593
02:45:43.366 --> 02:59:08.616
>> EXCUSE ME, WHEN ARE WE GOING TO BREAK FOR LUNCH? [BREAK] [THE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE IS

594
02:59:08.616 --> 03:02:34.450
IN RECESS] [GAV [GAVEL]. >> ALL RIGHT COUNCIL MEMBERS, THE TIME IS 12:36. OUR NEXT ITEM

595
03:02:34.450 --> 03:02:51.216
IS ITEM NUMBER 73, RENTAL ASSISTANCE LOCAL AFFORDABLE HOUSING AID FUNDING. COUNCIL MEMBER WHITING, WILL YOU PLEASE INTRODUCE THIS ITEM? >> WOULD LOVE TO. THANK YOU CHAIR CHOWDHURY. BRIEFLY I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT THIS RESOLUTION MOVING FORWARD HERE.

596
03:02:51.216 --> 03:03:08.616
I JUST WANT TO FIRST NOTE THAT I'M TRULY HEARTENED WITH THE CONVERSATION WITH ALL OF MY COLLEAGUES HERE. I HAD CONVERSATIONS OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS, PARTICULARLY ON HOW WE CAN ADDRESS THE NEED IN OUR CITY RIGHT NOW. PREVIOUSLY, I KNOW WE PUT $1 MILLION

597
03:03:08.616 --> 03:03:24.250
FORWARD. EVERY ONE OF MY COUNCIL COLLEAGUES VOTED UNANIMOUSLY IN SOME WAY TO PUT RENTAL ASSISTANCE FORWARD AND WE ARE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE BEST WAY TO DO THAT. WE'RE HAVING CONVERSATIONS ABOUT IT NOW AND

598
03:03:24.250 --> 03:03:40.616
WE WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE CONVERSATIONS PROBABLY UNTIL THURSDAY ABOUT THE BEST WAY AND BEST VEHICLE TO MOVE THIS THROUGH. I WOULD LIKE TO NOTE FOR THE PUBLIC THAT IS WATCHING, YOU HAVE TWO KIND OF RESOLUTIONS IN FRONT OF US, ONE OF THEM --

599
03:03:40.616 --> 03:03:57.483
NOS IT'S NOT A BOTH, IT'S ONE OR THE OTHER FOR PROBABLY ABOUT A TOTAL OF CLOSE TO $6 MILLION FROM THE CITY, WITH THE $3 MILLION MATCH FROM THE WILSON FOUNDATION. SO WITH THAT, I

600
03:03:57.483 --> 03:04:14.400
THINK THE PROPOSAL IN FRONT OF US RIGHT HERE IS ON YOUR DESK RIGHT NOW. YOU WILL SEE AN AMENDMENT FOR THAT $2 MILLION. I THINK WE'RE HOPING TO GET IT TO $2.8 MILLION FROM ADDITIONAL FUNDING, BUT THAT WILL BE IN

601
03:04:14.400 --> 03:04:29.150
CONVERSATIONS THROUGHOUT T REST OF THE WEEK AS WELL. SO, I WILL BE MOVING THIS ITEM FORWARD, HOPEFULLY MOVING IT FORWARD WITHOUT RECOMMENDATION TO CONSIDER IT ON THURSDAY AND WELCOME ALL OF THESE CONVERSATIONS BOTH TODAY,

602
03:04:29.150 --> 03:04:47.700
TOMORROW, AND HOPEFULLY BEFORE THURSDAY SO THAT WE CAN COME TO AN UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THE CONSENSUS OF OUR BODY HERE. BEFORE WE KIN OF MOVE THAT, I WANT TO GIVE A SHOUT-OUT TO MR. WILSON. HE IS PROBABLY HAS

603
03:04:47.700 --> 03:05:04.500
STORIES, HE WAS IN THE BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN AND RAN INTO A FRIEND OF MINE, JOHN MET THE OCCASION AND SAID WHATEVER THE CITY DOES, I WILL MATCH IT UP TO $3 MILLION. I HAVE BEEN IN A LOT

604
03:05:04.500 --> 03:05:21.600
OF CONVERSATIONS WITH JOHN AS HE IS A MINUTE POLL TAN ON THE NORTHEAST SIDE. HE HAS COMMITTED UP TO $16 MILLION ACROSS THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS, AND SPECIFICALLY AS OF THIS MORNING, HE SAID IF YOU PUT $3 MILLION, I

605
03:05:21.600 --> 03:05:37.933
WILL MATCH THOSE FUNDS. IM EXCITED ABOUT HIS EFFORTS AND MOVEMENT INTO OUR CITY AND FIGURING OUT WE ARE DOING THE MESSY DIRTY WORK OF FIGURING OUT HOW BEST TO DO THAT. I'M EXCITED THAT WE WILL COME TO SOME RESOLUTION HERE, BUT I WANTED TO JUST NOTE THAT BUT MOVING THIS

606
03:05:37.933 --> 03:05:55.650
FORWARD WITHOUT RECOMMENDATION, AS THIS WILL PROBABLY TAKE A DIFFERENT SHAPE BEFORE THURSDAY. THANK YOU. >> THAT MOTION NEED AS SECOND. >> SECOND. >> ALL RIGHT, COUNCIL MEMBER CHAVEZ. >> THANK YOU CHAIR CHOWDHURY. I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE A SUBSTITUTE

607
03:05:55.650 --> 03:06:13.416
AND WOULD ASK THE CLERK FOR ASSISTANCE. I THINK THE REALITY IS THAT WE WANT TO GET CLOSER TO THE $2.8 MILLION AS WE HAVE THOSE CONVERSATIONS TO FULL COUNCIL AND THE SUBSTITUTE WOULD BE DECREASING THE AFFORDABLE TRUST FUND BY $1.9 MILLION, AND INCREASING THE FUND BALANCE BY

608
03:06:13.416 --> 03:06:29.350
$900,000, WHICH WOULD GET US TO 2.# -- $2.8 MILLION. THIS IS COUNCIL MEMBER WONSLEY, COUNCIL MEMBER STEVENSON, PAYNE, COUNCIL MEMBER OSMAN, COUNCIL MEMBER CHUGHTAI, AND COUNCIL MEMBER CHOWDHURY, I HOPE THAT WE GET THE SUPPORT OF EVERYBODY. WE ARE

609
03:06:29.350 --> 03:06:45.950
HAVING CONVERSATIONS AHEAD OF THE FULL COUNCIL MEETING BUT THE REALITY IS THIS WOULD BE A SUBSTITUTE, SO THE TOTAL FUNDING THAT WE WOULD BE APPROVING AS THIS BODY SHOULD THIS PASS ON THURSDAY WOULD BE A TOTAL OF $2.8 MILLION. I THINK THAT THE CONVERSATIONS WE HAD HERE ON THE

610
03:06:45.950 --> 03:07:02.050
DAIS, MAKING SURE WE'RE GEOGRAPHICALLY BALANCED AND HAVING ALL THE PARTS OF OUR CITY BEING REPRESENTED WOULD BE ALLOWED UNDER THIS RESOLUTION AND WE'RE HOPING THAT THOSE CONVERSATIONS CONTINUE AHEAD OF THURSDAY. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT OTHER PARTS OF OUR CITY --

611
03:07:02.050 --> 03:07:18.183
AND I UNDERSTAND WITH THE CURRENT CONTRACTS IT WOULD BE ELIGIBLE ACROSS THE CITY BUT I THINK THE TALKING POINT IS ABOUT MAKING SURE FOLKS IN THE NORTH SIDE CAN WALK, BIKE, YOU KNOW, DRIVE TO A PLACE WHERE THEY CAN GET ACCESS TO RENTA ASSISTANCE. IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO ME SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE IF WE NEED TO

612
03:07:18.183 --> 03:07:35.983
CHANGE ANYTHING AHEAD OF THURSDAY, WE'RE HAPPY TO HAVE THAT CONVERSATION. WE ARE ABLE TO GET TO THAT SAME RESULT, AS WE MEET WITH HENNEPIN COUNTY BEFORE THURAY. SO I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WHAT WE WANT TO DO HERE IS INCREASE IT AN ADDITIONAL $2.8 MILLION AND MAKE SURE WE HAVE A DIVERSITY OF

613
03:07:35.983 --> 03:07:53.650
ORGANIZATIONS THAT CAN PROVIDE RENTAL ASSISTANCE ACROSS THE CITY. SO, OBVIOUSLY PEOPLE ARE IN QUEUE AND WE WILL HAVE MORE DISCUSSION. I'LL ASK FOR A SECOND. >> SECOND. I WILL GO TO MR. CLERK, CLERK CARL TO EXPLAIN HOW WE WILL APPROACH THE SUBSTITUTE MOTION AND THE MOTION THAT IS

614
03:07:53.650 --> 03:08:09.416
CURRENTLY ON THE FLOOR. >> THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR. THE PROCESS OF SUBSTITUTING IS A LILE BIT MORE COMPLEX THAN WE NORMALLY DO THROUGH AN AMENDMENT. AN AMENDMENT SEEKS TO REFINE OR PERFECT AN EXISTING PROPOSAL THAT IS ON THE TABLE.

615
03:08:09.416 --> 03:08:26.016
AN AMENDMENT TAKES THE ORIGINAL SUBJECT MATTER, TAKES EVERYTHING OUT AND REPLACES ALL OF THE DETAILS, SO IT KEEPS THE FRAME OF THE ISSUE BUT GETS RID OF ALL THE DETAILS. SO THE WAY YOU PROCESS A SUBSTITUTE IS THAT IT HAS TO BE BEFORE THE BODY BY A MOTION AND SECOND, WHICH WAS

616
03:08:26.016 --> 03:08:43.416
DONE. NOW THERE ARE TWO MOTIONS ACTUALLY PENDING IN FRONT OF THE BODY RIGHT NOW. IT' THE ONLY TIME YOU CAN HAVE TWO MAIN MOTIONS PENDINGHEN YOU MOVE TO AMEND BY SUBSTITUTION. SO YOU

617
03:08:43.416 --> 03:09:00.016
HAVE TO MOVE FORWARD WITHOUT RECOMMENDATION, TO PUT FORWARD $2 MILLION. THE MOTION AND SECOND IN SUBSTITUTE SPOKEN TO BY COUNCIL MEMBER SHAFFER WOU WOULD -- COUNCIL MEMBER CHAVEZ,

618
03:09:00.016 --> 03:09:17.116
WOULD REPLACE EVERYTHING WITH COUNCIL MEMBER WHITING'S NAME TO HAVE COUNCIL MEMBER CHAVEZ AND MULTIPLE AUTHORS ON IT. SO THERE IS THE DISCUSSION ON THE TWO MAIN MOTIONS AND IF THERE NEEDS TO BE PERFECTIONS TO THOSE MOTIONS. AND THEN A VOTE ON

619
03:09:17.116 --> 03:09:33.766
WHETHER THEY WANT TO ADOPT THE SUBSTITUTE FOR THE ORIGINAL MOTION. IF THAT MOTION PASSES, YOU HAVE ESSENTIALLY REPLACED THE WHITING MOTION WITH THE SUBSTITUTE MOTION AND THAT IS THE MOTION IN FRONT OF THE BODY. HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS BUT THAT'S THE ESSENTIAL

620
03:09:33.766 --> 03:09:49.666
FUNCTION OF THE SUBSTITUTE IN FRONT OF YOU NOW, TO DECIDE WHICH OF THOSE MAIN MOTIONS YOU WISH TO PURSUE. >> GREAT, THAT IS WHAT WE WILL BE DISCUSSING. THAT'S WHAT IS BEFORE US TO DISCUSS. I WILL GO

621
03:09:49.666 --> 03:10:05.183
TO COUNCIL MEMBER WONSLEY. >> THANK YOU CHAIR CHOWDHURY AND I JUST HAVE A FEW COMMENTS RELATED TO THE SUBSTITUTE MOTION THAT I WILL BE SUPPORTING AS A COAUTHOR WITH COUNCIL MEMBER CHAVEZ. I THINK FIRST IT'S IMPORTANT TO OFFER SOME CLARITY AROUND WHAT THIS PROPOSAL AIMS

622
03:10:05.183 --> 03:10:22.033
TO DO. SO, THE LAST TIME WE TOOK UP RENTAL ASSISTANCE, THERE WAS A LARGE DEBATE AROUND THE FUNDING SOURCE. ORIGINALLY THERE WAS A PROPOSAL FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING TRUST AND THEN THE PROPOSAL THAT PASSED WHICH TOOK

623
03:10:22.033 --> 03:10:38.233
THE 1 MILLION FROM CASH BALANCE. AT THAT TIME, WE ALL, OR A NUMBER OF US HAD A SHARED AGREEMENT THAT WE DON'T WANT TO PIT PROGRAMS THAT SUPPORTS THE DEVELOPMENT OF A CRITICAL NEED WITHIN OUR HOUSING MARKET TO BE

624
03:10:38.233 --> 03:10:58.166
RESPONSIVE TO HOUSING FACING A NUMBER OF OUR RESIDENTS AS A RESULT OF OPERATION METRO SURGE. WE HEARD THAT SAME SENTIMENT AND CONCERN RAISED AGAIN AS WE WERE DEBATING HOW CAN WE INCREASE THE RENTAL ASSISTANCE THIS TIME AROUND, SO THE 2.# FIG8 FIGURE

625
03:10:58.166 --> 03:11:14.916
WE CAN REACH MORE PEOPLE. THIS PROPOSAL IS COGNIZANT OF THAT. WE LEARNED FROM STAFF BEFORE COMING INTO THE MEETING THAT THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING TRUST HAS $2.8 MILLION IN IT. OUR PROPOSAL WILL LEAVE $1 MILLION IN THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING TRUST AND

626
03:11:14.916 --> 03:11:31.116
TAKE THE REMAINDER FROM CASH BALANCE. WE'RE TRYING TO CREATE THAT SENSE OF PARITY OR LAHA, AND MAYBE STAFF NEEDS TO CONNECT BUT YES, WE WERE JUST INFORMED THAT THERE WAS $2.8 MILLION TO WORK WITH. WE JUST WANT TO BE COGNIZANTHAT WE'RE LEAVING AND

627
03:11:31.116 --> 03:11:46.300
NOT BANKRUPTING THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING TRUST TO BE RESPONSIVE TO THIS NEED TO DO RENTAL ASSISTANCE IN THIS CURRENT MOMENT. SO, RIGHT NOW OUR BREAK DOWN IS INCLUSIVE OF THE 1 MILLION THAT WAS ORIGINALLY

628
03:11:46.300 --> 03:12:05.250
PROPOSED BY COUNCIL MEMBER JAMISON AND MAYOR JACOB FREY. WE'RE ADDING $9,000 ADDITION TO THAT. THAT WILL BRING THE TOTAL FROM THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING TRUST TO $1.9 MILLION. THEN TO REACH THE 1.8, WE HAVE A

629
03:12:05.250 --> 03:12:21.616
$900,000 GAP LEFT. THAT IS WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING TO TAKE FROM CASH. SO, I HOPE THAT OFFERS MORE CLARITY AROUND HOW WE'RE REACHING THAT 2.8. IT'S

630
03:12:21.616 --> 03:12:38.183
INCLUSIVE OF THE 1 MILLION THAT WE'RE ALREADY DISCUSSING. SO I WANTED TO GIVE SOME ADDITIONAL CONTEXT ON THAT AND I DO LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH MY COLLEAGUES AND REALLY FIGURING OUT HOW WE CAN BACK FILL INTO THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING TRUST DURING OUR BUDGET CYCLE, TO REALLY MAKE SURE WE'RE LEVELING THAT UP. WE HAVE TAKEN FROM THAT

631
03:12:38.183 --> 03:12:54.383
PRETTY EXTENSIVELY IN THIS TERM THUS FAR. THAT SAID, WE ALL ACKNOWLEDGE THAT RESIDENTS ARE STRUGGLING AS A RESULT OF OCCUPATION METRO SURGE. IT'S

632
03:12:54.383 --> 03:13:11.066
VERY CLEAR WE'RE WALKING INTO AN EVICTION CRISIS, IN FACT THE SAME WEEK THAT MAYOR FREY SAID IT SAVES LIVES, EVICTION FILINGS INCREASED 300% FROM LAST YEAR'S

633
03:13:11.066 --> 03:13:29.633
FIGURES. THAT TREND IS CONTINUING AS OF LAST FRIDAY, MINNEAPOLIS IS SURPASSING EVICTIONS FROM 2025, WHICH IS A RECORD BREAKING YEAR. IT'S VERY CLEAR THEN THAT TIME AND MONEY IS NEEDED TO MITIGATE AGAINST THIS GROWING CRISIS.

634
03:13:29.633 --> 03:13:45.633
$2.8 MILLION WILL BE MATCHED BY A LOCAL BUSINESS LEADER AND THAT WILL RESULT IN ALMOST $6 MILLION GETTING INTO OUR COMMUNITY AND THAT IS A BIG WIN FOR RESIDENTS WHO NEED THESE FUNDS AND FOR THE CITY ITSELF TO SHOW UP IN THIS MOMENT. I KNOW THAT THERE ARE

635
03:13:45.633 --> 03:14:01.200
CONCERNS ABOUT SPENDING MONEY ON RENTAL ASSISTANCE IN THE CONTEXT OF THE CITY'S CURRENT FINANCIAL SITUATION,UT I WANT TO BE VERY CLEAR THAT SPENDING THIS MONEY NOW IS MORE COST-EFFECTIVE IN THE LONG RUN BECAUSE IT'S CHEAPER TO PREVENT EVICTIONS THAN TO REHOUSE PEOPLE AFTER

636
03:14:01.200 --> 03:14:17.366
THEY HAVE BEEN EVICTED. THE REALITY IS THAT WE WOULD, IF WE DON'T PASS ADDITIONAL RENTAL ASSIANCE AND CREATE EVICTION PROTECTION POLICIES, PEOPLE WILL CONTINUE TO BE DISPLACED FROM THEIR HOMES AND WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO HAVE THE CHOICE TO SAY WE'RE GOING TO MITIGATE THAT

637
03:14:17.366 --> 03:14:31.633
AND THIS RENTAL ASSISTANCE PROPOSAL ALLOWS US TO DO THAT. IT ALLOWS US TO BRING $2.8 MILLION TO THE TABLE TO BE MATCHED BY OTHER BUSINESS LEADERS SUCH AS MR. WILSON IN THE COMMUNITY THAT GETS US TO

638
03:14:31.633 --> 03:14:48.666
THE NEARLY $6 MILLION FIGURE. THIS IS HOW WE CAN MITIGATE THE HOMELESS CRISIS AFFECTING OUR CITY RIGHT NOW, ESPECIALLY AS WE'RE WORKI WITH OUR STATE AND DELEGATION LEADERS. IT'S JUST

639
03:14:48.666 --> 03:15:05.100
AGAIN, I WANT TO CLOSE BY SAYING WE NEED BOTH AND APPROACH, WE NEED MONEY AND TIME, AND WE NEED TIME FOR THESE DOLLARS TO GET OUT TO OUR COMMUNITIES, TO OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS, WHICH WILL DISTRIBUTE THEM TO LANDLORDS. WITHOUT MONEY AND TIME, WE

640
03:15:05.100 --> 03:15:22.266
CANNOT PREVENT EVICTIONS. THAT'S WHY I AM HOPING COUNCIL WILL SUPPORT BOTH THIS MOTION, REFLECTING AN INCREASE IN RENTAL ASSISTANCE, AS WELL AS AHEAD OF THURSDAY OR ON THURSDAY, OVERRIDE MAYOR FREY'S VETO OF PAUL'S EVICTION AND SAVE LIVES.

641
03:15:22.266 --> 03:15:40.600
I WILL ENCOURAGE COLLEAGUE TO SUPPORT. >> I AM JUST GOING TO TAKE MYSELF OUT OF QUEUE AND COME BACK LATER. WE WILL GO TO COUNCIL VICE PRESIDENT OSMAN. >> THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR. I KNOW WE DISCUSSED THIS A LOT AND I DON'T WANT FOLKS TO BE CONFUSED.

642
03:15:40.600 --> 03:16:02.200
THERE IS $2.8 MILLION ON LAHA MONEY AND COUNCIL MEMBER WHITING IS INTRODUCING $2.8 MILLION, ALL OF IT, LIKE BASICALLY ALL OF IT. >> IT'S 2 MILLN RIGHT NOW.

643
03:16:02.200 --> 03:16:20.766
>> NO IT'S 1 MILLION. >> SORRY. THANK YOU CHAIR CHOWDHURY, COUNCIL MEMBER OSMAN, THE AMENDMENT AS PROVIDED RIGHT HERE WOULD BE $2 MILLION TOTAL. I THINK WE ARE TRYING TO BE IN CONVERSATION. >> CAN I JUST INTERJECT. >> PLEASE. >> LET'S GO TO THE CITY

644
03:16:20.766 --> 03:16:36.133
ATTORNEY. >> GREAT. SO UP TO THIS POINT, Y'ALL HAVE APPROPRIATED $1 MILLION IN THE RESERVE FUNDS FOR RENTAL ASSISTANCE. YOU DID THAT IN A PREVIOUS ACTION AND TODAY YOU APPROVE, YOU FORWARDED

645
03:16:36.133 --> 03:16:51.866
THE J.P.A. FOR THE $1 MILLION. RIGHT NOW, FIRST YOU WERE CONSIDERING COUNCIL MEMBER WHITING'S PROPOSAL OF AN ADDITIONAL $1 MILLION IN LAHA. YOU NOW HAVE THIS SUBSTITUTE MOTION IN FRONT OF YOU AT THE

646
03:16:51.866 --> 03:17:10.166
SAME TIME, SO TWO SEPARATE IDEAS. THE SUBSTITUTE MOTION IS FOR $2.8 MILLION. OF THAT, $1.9 MILLION COMES FROM HTF LAHA

647
03:17:10.166 --> 03:17:29.333
AND THE OTHER FROM THE RESERVED BALANCE. NEITHER OF THEM HAVE BEEN APPROVED AND A MOTION USES HTF LAHA.

648
03:17:29.333 --> 03:17:47.000
>> I AM TRYING TO GET IT CLEAR. COUNCIL MEMBER JAMISON, I THOUGHT THERE WAS $2.8 MILLION TAKEN. >> THERE IS A PROPOSAL FOR

649
03:17:47.000 --> 03:18:03.333
$2 MILLION, BUT IT HAS NOT BEEN MOVED. >> BUT IT' COMING UP. >> WELL, I DON'T THINK IT'S GOING TO. >> WELL. >> YOU CAN'T TAKE IT. >> OKAY. >> MAY I? AS THE CHAIR, CAN I TRY TO EXPLAIN IT. I MIGHT MAKE

650
03:18:03.333 --> 03:18:20.850
US MORE CONFUSED, BUT THE CLERK WILL JUMP IN. SO WE HAVE TWO THINGS IN FRONT OF US. WE HAVE THE $1 MILLION FROM LAHA THAT COUNCIL MEMBER WHITING IS BRINGING FORWARD AND THEN WE HAVE A SUBSTITUTE MOTION THAT IS

651
03:18:20.850 --> 03:18:36.650
$1.9 MILLION FROM LAHA AND ANOTHER $900,000 FROM CASH BALANCE, FOR A TOTAL OF $2.8 MILLION. WE'RE HAVING A DISCUSSION ABOUT BOTH OF THESE SIMULTANEOUSLY AND THEN WE WILL

652
03:18:36.650 --> 03:18:54.650
NEEDO MAKE A MOTION FOR WHICH ONE WE WOULD LIKE TO GO AHEAD. WE ALSO HAVE THE ABILITY AT THIS TIME TO MAKE AMENDMENTS TO BOTH OF THE MOTIONS THAT ARE BEFORE US. DID I GET THAT RIGHT CLERKS? >> YES MAD CHAIR, CORRECT.

653
03:18:54.650 --> 03:19:11.283
>> THANK YOU. I WILL ADD MY COMMENT THAT SINCE I HAVE BEEN HERE, AFFORDABLE HOUSING TRUST FUND WAS A NO GO ZONE. THIS WAS THE SOURCE WE NEVER GO TO AND NOW WE'RE CLEANING UP THE WHOLE THING AND TAKING. I THINK THAT

654
03:19:11.283 --> 03:19:27.750
GETTING THIS GENEROUS DONOR MATCHING IS A NO-BRAINER, WE SH ENTER AND HOW WE DO THAT, I WILL HAVE A DIFFERENT OPINION, COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE DIFFERENT OPINIONS, BUT MY THINKING IS

655
03:19:27.750 --> 03:19:44.383
THAT AFFORDABLE HOUSING TRUST FUND IS SOMETHING THAT HAD LASTED AND HELPED MANY RESIDENTS IN THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS, IS A LONG-TERM PROGRAM THAT REALLY BRINGS AFFORDABLE UNITS IN OUR CITY AND WE'RE LEAVING

656
03:19:44.383 --> 03:20:01.250
$1 MILLION AS PROPOSED BUT COUNCIL MEMBER WONSLEY THAT IS SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT AS WE MOVE FORWARD. ALSO, OVERALL, THE CONVERSATION WE HAD AND I DON'T WANT TO GO BACK BUT I'M HING WE WILL FIGURE OUT A WAY TO THE

657
03:20:01.250 --> 03:20:17.350
QUESTION THAT HAS BEEN RAISED ON HERE AND PREVIOUS VOTE THAT WE WILL HAVE SOME KIND OF SOLUTION ON THURSDAY, MAYBE BRING SOME KIND OF LANGUAGE WHERE IT SAYS THAT AS WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THE

658
03:20:17.350 --> 03:20:34.833
AGREEMENT, THE PERCENTAGE PART OF REQUIREMENT SHOULD BE INCREASED, THAT IS SOMETHING I MIGHT BE BRINGING FORWARD. TO ADD THE LANGUAGE, AND I'M DEFINITELY ADDING A SIDE ORGANIZATION THAT CAN PROVIDE FOR THE NORTH SIDE, DEFINITELY A

659
03:20:34.833 --> 03:20:52.133
PLACE FOR PEOPLE TO GO AND REACH OUT. SO THAT'S IS ALSO SOMETHING TO KEEP IN MIND THAT I MIGHT BE TALKING TO THE PROFESSIONAL STAFF AND OTHERS TO THINK ABOUT THAT. SO THANK YOU, THAT WILL BE IT FOR ME. >> COUNCIL MEMBER WHITING.

660
03:20:52.133 --> 03:21:08.400
>> THANK YOU CHAIR CHOWDHURY. I AM JUST WONDERING -- >> EXCUSE ME CHAIR, I WAS IN QUEUE. SOMEONE TOOK ME OUT OF QUEUE. >> OH, YOU MIGHT HAVE GOTTEN -- >> MY APOLOGIES. IT IS COUNCIL MEMBER WARREN IS UP NEXT. >> YEAH, OKAY. APOLOGIES.

661
03:21:08.400 --> 03:21:22.800
COUNCIL MEMBER WARREN. >> THANK YOU CHAIR CHOWDHURY. SO, HERE'S MY CONCERNS, IS THE FACT THAT WE HAD MADE A MOTION

662
03:21:22.800 --> 03:21:39.533
BEFORE TO UTILIZE LAHA FUNDING, EVEN PUT AN EXPIRATION DATE ON THE BACK END AND IT DIDN'T PASS THROUGH IT THE LAST TIME. SO NOW COUNCIL MEMBER WHITING WANTS US TO GHOST RIDE THE WHIP WITH

663
03:21:39.533 --> 03:21:55.300
SOMEONE WHO IS NOT HERE IN THE CHAMBERS, WHO WILL GIVE UP AN IMAGINARY BAG. WHERE IS HE AT? LET US SEE THE MONEY BECAUSE I DOT UNDERSTAND HOW WE ARE JUST ALL OF A SUDDEN AGREEING TO PUT A BAG UP AND WE HAVEN'T EVEN

664
03:21:55.300 --> 03:22:11.033
SEEN, YOU ARE THE ONLY PERSON WHO HAS SEEN THIS MAN AT A BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN CONCERT. >> I HAVE TALKED TO HIM. >> YOU HAVE SEEN HIM BEFORE? HE'S REAL? I AM JUST TRYING TO MAKE SURE. OKAY. SOMEBODY ELSE DID SEE.

665
03:22:11.033 --> 03:22:27.733
>> I'VE TALKED TO HIM BEFORE AND HE GAVE $2 MILLION. >> YES. >> COUNCIL MEMBER WARREN, WE ARE GOING TO BRING IT BACK TO YOU. YOUR MIC NEEDS TO BE TURNED ON. >> IT IS, IT'S COMING BACK. SOMEBODY PUT ME BACK IN THERE. I

666
03:22:27.733 --> 03:22:43.300
JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S ACTUALLY REAL, THAT IT'S HAPPENING. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT TAKING MONEY FROM LAHA AND IF THERE IS 2$2.8 MILLION THERE, I

667
03:22:43.300 --> 03:23:01.933
THAT WHAT YOU SAID MINORITY LEADER WONSLEY, IT'S 2.8 WITH ADDITION OF THE FUNDING LEFT IN THERE? >> YES. >> SO WE'RE TAKING ANOT

668
03:23:01.933 --> 03:23:17.300
ADDING 9? >> YES, JUST A TOTAL OF 1.9 WILL BE TAKEN FROM THE 2.8. >> FROM THE 2.8. >> I THINK IT WOULD BE HELPFUL IF YOU DON'T MIND ME INTERJECTING. >> NO, PLEASE GO AHEAD CHAIR. >> LET'S HAVE DIRECTOR PORT

669
03:23:17.300 --> 03:23:34.266
CLARIFY THE TOTAL AMOUNT IN THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING TRUST FUND/LAHA. >> GOOD AFTERNOON EVERYONE. I'M THE HOUSING DIRECTOR FOR THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS THROUGH OUR DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY PLAN AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING TRUST FUND

670
03:23:34.266 --> 03:23:52.000
LAST YEAR HAD $18 MILLION. THIS YEAR WE COMMENCED WITH $17 MILLION, $1 MILLION WAS REALLOCATED TO SUPPORT EMERGENCY SHELTER RESPONSE LEAVING US WITH

671
03:23:52.000 --> 03:24:06.066
6 MILLION. OF THAT $16 MILLION, 2.85 OF THAT WAS EARMARKED, WAS SOURCED OUT OF LAHA. SO BEFORE TODAY'S MEETING,

672
03:24:06.066 --> 03:24:26.333
WE HAD $2.85 MILLION IN LAHA. THE LAST ACTION ITEM YOU TOOK ALLOCATED $1 MILLION. YOU ARE SHAKING YOUR HEAD NO. >> WE HAVEN'T DONE THAT YET. >> SO THERE ARE $2.85 MILLION

673
03:24:26.333 --> 03:24:43.566
THAT IS CURRENTLY IN THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING TRUST FUND, FUNDED THROUGH LAHA. THAT'S WHERE WE ARE TODAY. WHILE I'M STILL HERE, AFFORD ME TO ADD

674
03:24:43.566 --> 03:24:59.366
THAT THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING TRUST FUND BUDGET ENCOMPSES MULTIPLE SERVICES, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT, FEDERAL HOME DOLLARS, TIF, TAX INCREMENT FINANCING, AND THAT POOL IS

675
03:24:59.366 --> 03:25:14.433
GOING TO BE EXPERIENCING A FISCAL CLIFF IN 2027. A REDUCTION BY $4 MILLION FROM THIS YEAR'S AMOUNT TO NEXT YEAR. SO I JUST WANTED TO PLANT THAT SEED AND IF THERE ARE FURTHER QUESTIONS, I WILL STAND OR I AM

676
03:25:14.433 --> 03:25:31.750
IN THE BACK AND I'M WILLING TO ANSWER ANY. >> THANK YOU DIRECTOR PORT. I APPRECIATE YOUR CLARITY IN THAT. THIS IS WHY I AM STILL AT A PLACE WHERE I AM STRUGGLING WITH MOVING THOSE FUNDS FROM OUT OF

677
03:25:31.750 --> 03:25:47.750
LAHA BECAUSE IT SUPPORTS SO MANY OTHER VERY CRUCIAL DEVELOPMENTS AND THINGS THAT WE HAVE TO GET DONE IN THE CITY AND WE HAD A HARD TIME MOVING IT FROM THIS

678
03:25:47.750 --> 03:26:03.433
PLACE BEFORE. I DON'T KNOW HOW WE ENDED UP BACK HERE AGAIN AND WHAT THE REPLENISHMENT IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE IF YOU'RE SAYING THIS IS GOING TO IMPACT US GOING FORWARD. IS THAT -- AM I CLEAR IN HEARING YOU STATE THAT? >> THROUGH THE CHAIR, COUNCIL

679
03:26:03.433 --> 03:26:19.000
MEMBER WARREN, YOU ARE CORRECT IN THE IMPACT THAT IT WILL HAVE ON THE TRUST FUND. I REFERENCED THAT THE TRUST FUND PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO CREATE AND PRESERVE

680
03:26:19.000 --> 03:26:34.866
MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN OUR CITY. THE TRUST FUND IS LEVERAGED WITH OTHER SOURCES, TAX CREDITS AND BONDS AS AN EXAMPLE. WE ARE GOING TO GET

681
03:26:34.866 --> 03:26:53.750
ABOUT $70 MILLION IN BONDS AND WITH THAT CAPACITY, WHEN WE START TO TALK ABOUT LAYERING, WE NEED SOME RESOURCES IN THE TRUST FUND TO ENABLE US TO SPEND THOSE DOLLARS. WE HAVE 3 YEARS TO

682
03:26:53.750 --> 03:27:09.983
SPEND THOSE DOLLARS. IF WE DON' PERIOD, WE LOSE IT. THOSE ARE THE TYPES OF IMPACT WE HAVE. >> I RESPECT THAT. BONDS NEED TO BE PAID BACK. WE NEED A COUPLE OF DOLLARS IN RESERVE. THE LAST TIME WE HAD A CONVERSATION ABOUT

683
03:27:09.983 --> 03:27:26.250
MOVING FUNDING FROM LAHA, WE HAD AN EXPIRATION DATE ON THE BACK END OF THE FUNDS IF THEY WERE NOT UTILIZED, THEY WOULD BE RETURNED BACK TO THE ACCOUNT. IS THAT CORRECT? COUNCIL MEMBER WHITING, IF WE HAD AN EXPIRATION

684
03:27:26.250 --> 03:27:42.883
DATE ON THERE, IT WOULD HAVE WENT BACK. I THINK IT'S 90 DAYS, WE WERE PUTTING A SPIN ON THAT? >> IT WAS PROPOETSED BUT DIDN'T MOVE FORWARD. >> IT WAS PROPOSED BUT DIDN'T MOVE FORWARD BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THIS BODY HAVE

685
03:27:42.883 --> 03:27:59.416
PREHENSION ABOUT THAT. THAT'S WHERE MY APPREHENSION LIES. I WANT TO FIGURE OUT WHERE WE CAN PULL SOME MONEY FROM SINCE WE GOT SOMEBODY THAT DEFINITELY IS GOING TO MATCH WITH US, I AM JUST REALLY HAVING A HARD TIME

686
03:27:59.416 --> 03:28:16.350
PULLING IT FROM THERE. >> THANKS EVERYONE. >> THANK YOU. >> COUNCIL MEMBER WHITING. >> YES, THANK YOU. I THINK -- THANK YOU CHAIR CHOWDHURY FOR THE CLARIFICATION. WHAT WE ARE SEEING IN FRONT OF US IS A

687
03:28:16.350 --> 03:28:33.266
PROPOSAL FOR AN ADDITIONAL $1 MILLION THAT WOULD BE AN AMENDMENT. THAT TO ATTORNEY'S POINT IS NOT IN FRONT OF US, IT HASN'T BEEN MOVED. IS THAT

688
03:28:33.266 --> 03:28:50.333
CORRECT CLERK CARL? I HAVE NOT MOVED AN AMENDMENT FORWARD. >> MADAM CHAIR, THIS IS MY UNDERSTANDING OF THE SITUATION AND I AM GOING TO ASK ATTORNEY TO CORRECT ME WHERE I AM WRONG AS SHE EXPLAINED IN PREVIOUS ACTION, THE COUNCIL ESTABLISHED

689
03:28:50.333 --> 03:29:07.300
A $1 MILLION ALLOCATION AND A JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT, I THINK, FOR LACK OF A BETTER TERM, AGREEMENT WITH THE COUNTY. THAT IS IN THE PROCESS OF BEI CARRIED OUT. TO THE ORIGINAL $1 MILLION, THE ORIGINALCTION BROUGHT FORWARD BY COUNCIL MEMBER WHITING MOVED WITHOUT

690
03:29:07.300 --> 03:29:22.733
RECOMMENDATION IS A PROPOSAL TO TAKE AN ADDITIONAL $2 MILLION. THAT'S WHAT I HAVE ON THE PAPER IN FRONT OF ME, WHICH WOULD THEN MAKE A TOTAL, IF THAT WERE APPRED OF $3 MILLION FOR THAT RENTAL ASSISTANCE. TAKE ASIDE WHAT THE COUNTY NEEDS TO DO

691
03:29:22.733 --> 03:29:38.366
AFTER IT. THE SUBSTITUTE MOTION THAT HAS BEEN MOVED AND SECONDED PROPOSES TO TAKE $2.8 MILLION AND PUT THAT INTO THE ORIGINAL 1. SO IN TOTAL IF EITHER IS TO PASS, THE COUNCIL IS LOOKING AT

692
03:29:38.366 --> 03:29:54.800
PUTTING $3 MILLION TO RENTAL ASSISTANCE OR $3.8 MILLION. WE KNOW THERE ARE TECHNICAL PIECES THAT THE COUNTY ALERTED STAFF ON WHAT THEY CAN ACCEPT RIGHT NOW AND THERE NEEDS TO BE TECHNICAL CORRECTIONS ON THE END TO ACCEPT

693
03:29:54.800 --> 03:30:14.533
ANY OVERAGE. WE ALLOCATED $1 MILLION FOR US NOW AND THE PROPOSAL TO 2 OR 2.8 TO ADD TO THE ORIGINAL 1. >> THANK YOU, THAT IS VERY HELPFUL. >> THANK YOU FOR THAT

694
03:30:14.533 --> 03:30:30.633
CLARIFICATION CLERK CARL. APOLOGIES, I DID NOT HAVE YOUR AMENDMENT TO YOUR MOTION IN FRONT OF ME WHEN I EXPLAINED THE AMOUNTS. I AGREE WITH CLERK CARL'S SUMMARY THAT THE MOTION TO MOVE FORWARD WITHOUT RECOMMENDATION BEFORE YOU IS AN AMOUNT OF 2 MILLION RATHER THAN

695
03:30:30.633 --> 03:30:46.133
1 MILLION. >> PERFECT, THAT IS HELPFUL. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. CLERK CARL? >> I WOULD ADD ONE MORE PIECE PROCEDURALLY BUT SINCE WE'RE ON IT, THE ORIGINAL MOTION WAS MOVED WITHOUT A RECOMMENDATION. THE SUBSTITUTE SEEKS TO REPLACE THAT, THAT MEANS THE MOTION ON

696
03:30:46.133 --> 03:31:02.683
THE TABLE, WHETHER IT'S THE SUBSTITUTE OR ORIGINAL IS WITHOUT RECOMMENDATION. IF THAT PIECE NEEDS TO BE CHANGED, THE PEOPLE BRINGING THE SUBSTITUTE NEEDS TO CHANGE THAT AS WELL. WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IS SENDING SOME PROPOSAL TO FULL COUNCIL ON THURSDAY WITH NO RECOMMENDATION FROM THE

697
03:31:02.683 --> 03:31:19.366
COMMITTEE MEETING. >> YES, THANK YOU. THAT IS WHAT I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT FOR CLARIFICATION THERE. I THINK IT WOULD BE A LITTLE BIT EASIER, A LITTLE BIT CLEANER IF WE MOVE THIS ONE FORWARD WITHOUT RECOMMENDATION AND THEN IN 74, AS IT IS MORE IN LINE WITH WHAT

698
03:31:19.366 --> 03:31:36.616
IS GOING ON. I THINK IT'S A VERSION OF MAKING THAT SUBSTITUTION THERE WITH RECOMMENDAON. IT SOUNDS LIKE THAT WOULD BE THE CASE. IF THAT'S NOT THE WILL OF THE BODY, IT'S NOT THEILL OF THE BODY. I THINK IT'S CLEANER IN MY OPINION. THANK YOU. >> COUNCIL MEMBER VETAW.

699
03:31:36.616 --> 03:31:52.733
>> THANK YOU CHAIR. FIRST, THIS NEEDS TO BE WORKED OUT. THIS IS ENTIRELY TOO MUCH CONFUSION OVER SOMETHING THAT WE ALL SHOULD BE IN AGREEMENT OVER, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE WE HAVE SOMEONE THAT IS POTENTIALLY GOING TO MATCH IT. I WILL GET TO THAT COUNCIL MEMBER

700
03:31:52.733 --> 03:32:10.650
WARREN IN A SECOND. I MEAN THIS IS WAY TOO CONFUSING. IT'S NOT CLEAR TO ME WHAT WE'RE VOTING -- EVEN THE DOLLAR AMOUNT WE'RE VOTING FOR ANYMORE, WHAT IS CLEAR AND WHY? I HAVE QUESTIONS

701
03:32:10.650 --> 03:32:25.866
ON WHY WE CHOSEN 2$2.8 MILLION.I HAVE A NUMBER OF QUESTIONS ON THE NUMBER OF EVICTIONS THAT HAVE GONE UP. COUNCIL MEMBER WONSLEY SAID 300%. I DON'T KNOW WHERE THAT NUMBER COMES FROM OR THOSE STATS. I HEARD ABOUT A

702
03:32:25.866 --> 03:32:43.916
HOTLINE SEEING A 300% INCREASE IN INQUIRIES ABOUT RENTAL ASSISTANCEUT NOT EVICTIONS GOING UP TO THAT DOLLAR AMOUNT. I WOULD LIKE DISCUSSION ON THE

703
03:32:43.916 --> 03:32:59.633
NUMBER OF EVICTIONS THAT PEOPLE ARE FACING RIGHT NOW, WHERE THE 2.8 NUMBER CAME FROM. WHEN COUNCIL MEMBER WHITING AND THE MAYOR, I SAW THEM ON THE NEWS SAYING THEY WERE GOING TO ASK FOR 1 MILLION AND THEN THEY HAD

704
03:32:59.633 --> 03:33:15.950
SOMEONE THAT WILL MATCH 1 MILLION. THAT'S $2 MILLION AND NOW WE'RE UP TO ALMOST $6 MILLION. WHERE IS THE MONEY GOING? IS ALL $6 MILLION GOING TO HENNEPIN COUNTY SPECIFICALLY FOR WHAT WE JUSTOTED ON? IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE COUNTY'S BUDGET LAST YEAR FOR

705
03:33:15.950 --> 03:33:31.400
THIS WAS $10 MILLION, SO WE'RE ESSENTIALLY GIVING THE COUNTY THEIR ALMOST 70% OF THEIR BUDGET FOR NEXT YEAR WITHOUT EVEN CONSIDERING THE PROGRAMS THAT WE TAKEN FUNDING FROM AT THE CITY

706
03:33:31.400 --> 03:33:49.383
OR PROGRAMS THAT IS IN THE QUEUE AND DEVELOPMENT IN THE QUEUE AT THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS WHEN WE HAVE SOMEONE HERE HELPING. SO, I JUST HAVE A LOT OF QUESTIONS AND I DON'T THINK THAT THIS IS -- I DO APPRECIATE YOU MOVING FORWARD WITH OUR RECOMMENDATION AND I

707
03:33:49.383 --> 03:34:06.866
CERTAINLY SUPPORT US PUTTING MONEY INTO HOUSING ASSISTANCE. AGAIN, IT CANNOT JUST BE RENTAL ASSISTANCE. DO WE ASK THE PERSON THAT IS DONATING THEIR PRIVATE DOLLARS, HOW CAN THEY HELP WITH

708
03:34:06.866 --> 03:34:24.433
MORTGAGES AND FOLKS WHO NEED OTHER KINDS OF ASSISTANCE? I N'T KNOW WHAT THE COUNTY PROGRAM DOES. SO, DO WE TAKE ADVANTAGE OF AN OPPORTUNITY WE HAVE HERE WITH ADDITIONAL FUNDING AND MAYBE HELP EVERYONE WHO NEEDS HELP OUTSIDE OF JUST RENTAL ASSISTANCE? IS THE

709
03:34:24.433 --> 03:34:41.783
$6 MILLION -- WELL, NOW IT'S $7 MILLION BECAUSE $7.9 MILLION OR 7.
$7.8 MILLION BECAUSE WE APPROVED $1 MILLION LAST MONTH. I HOPE WE CAN FIGURE THIS OUT, NOT FEEL RUSHED TO DO SO. WE JUST VOTED ON $1 MILLION TO GO

710
03:34:41.783 --> 03:34:57.166
TO THE COUNTY TO HELP WITH RENTAL ASSISTANCE. WE KNOW THAT'S NOT THE END. I CERTAINLY FEEL LIKE WE HAVE SETIME TO WORK THROUGH MAKING SURE WE GET THIS MONEY INTO THE RIGHT HDS OF THE RIGHT PEOPLE AND MAKE THE RIGHT DECISIONS FOR PEOPLE WHO

711
03:34:57.166 --> 03:35:15.550
NEED SUPPORT RIGHT NOW. TO YOUR QUESTION COUNCIL MEMBER WARREN, I TALKED TO MR. WILSON OF THE WILSON FOUNDATION AFTER THE DAVE CHAPPELLE CONCERT. HE KNEW ONE

712
03:35:15.550 --> 03:35:31.633
OF MY AIDES FOR A LONG TIME. I TALKED TO HIM ABOUT HIM WANTING TO HELP WITH RENTAL ASSISTANCE, SPECIFICALLY HOUSINGASSISTANCE. WE WERE HAVING CONVERSATIONS ABOUT NORTH MINNEAPOLIS, BUT HE DID WANT TO HELP PEOPLE AROUND

713
03:35:31.633 --> 03:35:49.516
THE STATE, NOT JUST MINNESOTA. HE SAID HE WAS WILLING TO MATCH DOLLARS THAT FOLKS WERE GOING TO PUT UP. THE WILSON FOUNDATION DID DONATE $2 MILLION TO NORTH

714
03:35:49.516 --> 03:36:05.200
COMMONS PROJECT. SO COUNCIL MEMBER WHITING CAN PUT YOU IN TOUCH IF YOU NEED TO CHECK OUT HIS CHECKBOOK. >> I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE HE IS REAL. YOU LIKE DRAKE. >> IF YOU WANT TO DO THAT, I AM SURE HE WILL BE HAPPY TO AND I'M SURE HE IS WATCHING THE MEETING.

715
03:36:05.200 --> 03:36:21.216
I THINK IF WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO MATCH, CERTAINLY WE WANT TO DO IT. WHERE I AM JUST CONCERNED IS THAT WE DON'T TAKE AWAY FROM OURSELVES TO GIVE TO THE COUNTY, WE STRATEGICALLY USE THE MONEY IN A WAY THAT FOLKS CAN GET EXACTLY WHAT THEY

716
03:36:21.216 --> 03:36:40.100
NEED, BUT WE ALSO DON'T END UP HARMING PROGRAMS THAT WE HAVE BEEN PROTECTING, THAT WE HAVE ALWAYS PROTECTED. >> VICE CHAIR CHUGHTAI HAS A POINT OF ORDER. >> THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR. I

717
03:36:40.100 --> 03:36:57.183
WONDER IF IT WOULD BE HELPFUL SINCE MOST OF THE DISCUSSION SO FAR FOR THE LAST 30 MINUTES HAS BEEN A LOT OF CONFUSION ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON, THAT IT MIGHT MAKE THE MOST SENSET THIS MOMENT FOR US TO BREAK FOR LUNCH AND FOR US TO RESET AND COME BACK AND LIKE MAKE MOTIONS AND

718
03:36:57.183 --> 03:37:13.733
START THE DISCUSSIO FROM A CLEAN SLATE AND FIGURE IT OUT FROM THERE. I JUST THINK THAT IS INHE BEST INTEREST FOR US HAVING A PRODUCTIVE CONVERSATION THAT IS CLEAR TO EVERYBODY, BOTH HERE AND WATCHING ALONG. >> YES. >> THAT'S MY RECOMMENDATION

719
03:37:13.733 --> 03:37:28.016
MADAM CHAIR. >> I CONCUR WITH THAT. >> SECOND. [LAUGHTER]. >> THERE WE GO. SO WE WILL BREAK FOR LUNCH FOR AN HOUR. WE'RE GOING TO DO IT FOR AN HOUR BECAUSE IT'S A LONG DAY. WE WILL

720
03:37:28.016 --> 03:37:52.750
RETURN AT 2:12 P.M. >> ON TIME. >> ON TIME. WE WILL START THE MEETING WITHOUT YOU IF YOU ARE NOT HERE AT 2:12 P.M. [BREAK FOR LUNCH]

721
03:55:58.266 --> 04:00:52.566

COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE . >> ALL RIGHT. WELCOME BACK SUPER COW. I WILL NOW ASK THE CLERK TO

731
04:42:37.783 --> 04:42:54.950
AT DIFFERENT SOURCES FOR THESE FUNDS AND WHAT NOT AND WILL HAVE MA DISCUSSIONS BUT I WANT TO MOVE THE SUBSTITUTE MOTION FORWARD WITH RECOMMENDATION. >> WITHOUT RECOMMENDATION? >> WITH. WITHOUT? >> WITHOUT. >> WITHOUT. >> JUST DO WITHOUT. >> OKAY. WITHOUT RECOMMENDATION.

732
04:42:54.950 --> 04:43:12.000
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> OKAY. SO THEN THE MOTION BEFORE US IS THE SUBSTITUTE MOTION WITHOUT RECOMMENDATION FOR FULL COUNCIL. SO CLERK CARL, COULD YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN TO US WHAT WE ARE MOVING FORWARD TO THE FULL COUNCIL.

733
04:43:12.000 --> 04:43:28.333
>> MADAM CHAIR, WHAT THE MOTION SEEKS TO DO IS TO CONFIRM THE SUBSTITUTE MOTION AT THE DAIS IN FRONT OF YOU MOVED PREVIOUSLY BY COUNCIL MEMBER CHAVEZ WITH SEVEN AUTHORS WITHOUT RECOMMENDATION TO FULL COUNCIL THIS THURSDAY. THE ACTION ITEM ON RENTAL

734
04:43:28.333 --> 04:43:44.266
ASSIANCE THAT SEEKS TO DECREASE THE CITY'S AFFORDABLE HOUSING TRUSTFUND BY $1.9 MILLION TO USE FUND BALANCE IN THE AMOUNT OF $900,000 FOR A TOTAL OF $2.8 MILLION FOR RENTAL ASSISTANCE HOUSING AND TO AUTHORIZE THE JOINT POWER

735
04:43:44.266 --> 04:43:59.966
AGREEMENT WITH HENNEPIN COUNTY TO IMPMENT THAT RENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM AS PART OF THE PREVIOUS ACTION ALREADY TAKEN. THAT'S THE MOTION IN FRONT OF US. AN AFFIRMATIVE VOTE ON THIS WILL MAKE THIS THE MAIN MOTION IN FLONT FRONT OF THE

736
04:43:59.966 --> 04:44:16.400
BODY. IT DOESN'T DISPOSE OF IT. IT GETS RID OF THE ORIGINAL WHITING MOTION WHICH WAS FOR $2 MILLION FROM DIFFERENT SOURCES. THE VOTE IS PROCEDURAL SAY THIS IS THE MAIN MOTION IN FRONT OF THE BODY NOW. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH, CLERK

737
04:44:16.400 --> 04:44:31.200

04:45:21.900 --> 04:45:37.633
THAT MOVES FORWARD AND CARRIES TO COUNCIL, AND WE WILL CONTINUE OUR DISCUSSION ON IT ON THURSDAY. ONCE IT'S BEFORE US. AND THEN CLERK MICHAEL, I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S YOUR MIC SPECIFICALLY, BUT AT THE LAST THING YOU SAI I WAS STILL NOT

742
04:45:37.633 --> 04:45:56.133

743
04:45:56.133 --> 04:46:12.550
>> THANK YOU, CHAIR CHOWDHURY. I AM ACTUALLY GOING TO MOTION TO WITHDRAWAL THIS ITEM IN LIGHT OF US MOVING THE OTHER PROPOSAL THAT WE JUST CONSIDERED FORWARD. >> YES. THE MOTION YOU WANT TO THE AGENDA. >> ALL RIGHT THEN I WILL MAKE

746
04:46:47.950 --> 04:47:01.916
RESILIENCY FUND. THEN IT WILL BE THE SAFETY AND WELLNESS TRAINING CENTER PAR REPORT. AND THEN IT WILL BE THE TRAINING AND WELLNESS CENTER CONVERSATION AROUND LAND ACQUISITION AND THE

747
04:47:01.916 --> 04:47:17.816
ATTACHED BUDGET PROPOSAL. SO THEN NEXT IS ITEM 68, WHICH IS THE BID FOR SOUTH MINNEAPOLIS COMMUNITY SAFETY CENTER. I'LL WELCOME PROJECT MANAGERYLE ERICSON TO GIVE A PRESENTATION

748
04:47:17.816 --> 04:47:51.583
ON THIS ITEM. >> GOOD AFTERNOON. CHAIR CHOWDHURY, COMMITTEE MEMBERS, MY NAME ISYLE ERICSON, I'M THE CAPITAL PROJECT MANAGER FOR THE SOUTHSIDE COMMUNITY SAFETY CENTER AND WITH PROPERTY

749
04:47:51.583 --> 04:48:11.483
SERVICES. PERFECT. THANK YOU. I'M HERE TODAY WITH COLLEAGUES FROM PROPERTY SERVICES AS WELL AS THE CITY'S OFFICE OF PUBLIC SAFETY TO REQUEST THE APPROVAL OF THE CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT FOR THE SOUTH MINNEAPOLIS COMMUNITY SAFETY CENTER TO BE LOCATED AT

750
04:48:11.483 --> 04:48:30.483
THE CITY OWNED PROPERTY AT 2633 MINNEHAHA AVENUE. FOR TODAY'S PRESENTATION, I WILL PROVIDE AN OVERVIEW OF THE PROJECT AND THE PROJECT DELIVERY TIME LINE FROM ACQUISITION TO COMPLETION. THE

751
04:48:30.483 --> 04:48:45.733
SOUTH MINNEAPOLIS COMMUNITY SAFETYENTER IS AN EXCITING NEW CONCEPT FOR THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS. IT WILL BE A BUILDING THAT IS WELCOMING AND ACCESSIBLE TO ALL PEOPLE WHO LIVE AND WORK OR VISIT MINNEAPOLIS. THE FACILITY WILL PROVIDE SAFETY SERVICES RELATED

752
04:48:45.733 --> 04:49:02.900
TO THE PREVENTION, RESPONSE, RESTORATION, ALL CO-LOCATED IN ONE SPACE. THE SAFETYERVICES PROVIDED IN THIS FACILITY WILL INCLUDE TH POLICE, 3RD PRECINCT, A 311 SERVICE DESK, THEOUTH CONNECTION CENTER, AND

753
04:49:02.900 --> 04:49:17.100
COMMUNITY SAFETY AMBASSADORS. THE CMUNITY SAFETY PILOTS THAT WILL BE HOUSED OUT OF THIS FACILITY ILUDE HUMAN TRAFFICKING PREVENTION, MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES, CULTURALLY SPECIFIC NAVIGATORS, AND

754
04:49:17.100 --> 04:49:34.600
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE NAVIGATORS. FOR THE PRESENTATION DELIVERY TIMELINE, I WILL TALK THROUGH THIS IN FOUR STEPS. THAT BEING THE SITE ACQUISITION, PROGRAMMING DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION, AND CONSTRUCTION

755
04:49:34.600 --> 04:49:50.133
COMPLETION AND OCCUPANCY. STEP ONE WAS SITE ACQUISITION. IN NOVEMBER OF 2023, COUNCIL PROVIDED ACTION TO ACQUIRE 2633 MINNEHAHA. SHORTLY AFTER RECEIVING APPROVAL, THE CITY

756
04:49:50.133 --> 04:50:07.866
STARTED DUE DILIGENCE AND BEGAN THIRD PARTY CONSULTANT TO COMPLETE AN ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ASSESSMENT. THIS ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ASSESSMENT INCLUDED A PHASE ONE STUDY WHICH WAS BASICALLY INFORMATION GATHERING OF THE BUILDING AND THE SITE. IT THEN

757
04:50:07.866 --> 04:50:24.900
FOLLOWED UP WITH A PHASE TWO STUDY WHICH WAS MUCH MORE IN DEPTH IN INVESTIGATION WITH THE BUILDING MATERIALS N ONLY ON SITE BUT IN THE BUILDING COLLECTING SAMPLES AND RUNNING ANNALYSIS TO VERIFY IF THEY NEEDED ANY REMEDY OR ANY PRECAUTIONS. UPON THE COMPLETION

758
04:50:24.900 --> 04:50:38.633
OF THE PHASES THE ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ASSESSMENTS, WE ALSO COMPLETED A SITE SURVEY OR CONTRACTED FOR A SITE SURVEY. THAT ALLOWED US TO CONFIRM EXISTING UTILITIES AND AS BUILT

759
04:50:38.633 --> 04:50:57.866
SITE CONDITIONS. IN MAY 28TH, 2024, THE CITY FINALIZED THE PURCHASE AND BECAME THE NEW OWNERS. 2633 MINNEHAHA IS

760
04:50:57.866 --> 04:51:13.000
LOCATED IN THE STEWART NEIGHBORHOOD IN WARD 2. THE LOCATION IDENTIFIED IN THE MAP OR THE IMAGE TO YOUR LEFT IS IDENTIFIED WITH A BLUE DOT. AS YOU CAN SEE, THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED TO THE EAST OF HIAWATHA AVENUE AND TO THE NORTH OF LAKE

761
04:51:13.000 --> 04:51:29.100
STREET. LOOKING TO THE IMAGE TO THE RIGHT IS AN AERIAL VIEW OF THE PROPERTY. THE RED POLYGON IS THE SITE PROPERTY AND WITHIN IT IS THE BUIING. THE EXISTING BUILDING I WANT TO NOTE IS IT

762
04:51:29.100 --> 04:51:44.633
MAY LOOK AS TWO BUILDINGS BUT IN REALITY IT'S ONE BUILDING. THE ORIGINAL BUILDING SHOWN AS MORE OF A SQUARE WAS CONSTRUCTED IN 1994. AND THEN THERE WAS AN ADDITION THAT WAS CONSTRUCTED IN 1998, AND THAT'S THE DARKER

763
04:51:44.633 --> 04:52:01.500
BLACK RECTANGLE. ALTOGETHER IT'S APPROXIMATELY 78,500 SQUARE FEET. PRIOR TO THE CITY OWNING THE PROPERTY, IT WAS FCTIONING AS A PRINTING COMPANY. SO THERE WAS AN OFFICE AND WAREHOUSE SPACE FOR PRINTING AND STORING MATERIALS AND OFFLOADING. YOU MAY HAVE TO SQUT BUT IN THE

764
04:52:01.500 --> 04:52:17.966
IMAGE YOU MAY SEE SOME LOADING DOCKS ON THE SOUTHSIDE AND MAIN EXISTING ENTRY ON THE SOUTHWEST LOWER LEFT CORNER OF THE ILDING. SO STEP TWO OF THE PROJECT DELIVERY IS PROGRAMMING

765
04:52:17.966 --> 04:52:36.700
AND DESIGN. IN AUGUST OF 2024, AN RFP WAS ISSUED FOR ARCHITECTURAL AND DESIGN SERVICES. MECHANICAL, ELECTRICAL, PLUMNG, FIRE

766
04:52:36.700 --> 04:52:52.700
PROTECTION, SITE FOR THIS PROJECT. WE RECEIVED FIVE PROPOSALS FROM QUALIFIED AE FIRM FOR THESE DESIGN SERVICES. ALL FIVE PROPOSALS WERE EVALUATED AND INTERVIEW BY AN EVALUATION PANEL AND A SELECTION

767
04:52:52.700 --> 04:53:09.733
WAS MADE WITH WALD ARCHITECTURE AND ENGINEERING. COUNCIL PROVIDED ACTION TO PROCEED WITH A CONTRACT WITH WALD. AND SHORTLY AFTER, WE BEGAN THE DESIGN IN NOVEMBER. T DESIGN PROCESS TYPICALLY INVOLVES FIVE PHASES. THIS INCLUDE

768
04:53:09.733 --> 04:53:26.800
PROGRAMMING, SCHEMATIC DESIGN, DESIGN DEVELOPMENT, AND BIDDING. STARTING WITH PROGRAMMING, THE ARCHITECTS ASELL AS PROPERTY SERVICES MET WITH THE STAKEHOLDERS OF THE PROPERTY BEING OFFIC AND COMMUNITY SAFETY, 311 SERVICE CENTER, POLICE AND OTHERS TO UNDERSTAND

769
04:53:26.800 --> 04:53:42.966
PROGRAMMING AND THE FLUIDITY OF SPACES SINCE THIS IS A SHARED FACILITY. UPON GATHERING INFORMATION, WE PROCEEDED THE SCHEMATIC DESIGN AND STARTED LAYING OUT SPACE DIAGRAMS AND ADJACENCIE

770
04:53:42.966 --> 04:53:59.066
ADJACENCIES. ROOM SIZES AND PROCEEDING TO CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTATION. THAT IS THE FULL SETF DOCUMENTS THAT IS ULTIMATELY BID ON AND USED TO CONSTRUCT THE PROJECT. WE PROCEEDED TO BIDDING. AND THAT KIND OF WRAPPED UP THE

771
04:53:59.066 --> 04:54:14.466
NOVEMBER 2024 TO DECEMBER 2025 TIMELINE. I DO WANT TO NOTE THAT DURING THE DESIGNROCESS THERE WAS PROGRESSIVE COST ESTIMATING THAT WAS COMPLETED. SO THIS MEANS THAT WE ARE TRACKING COSTS AND HAD A THIRD PARTY ESTIMATING FIRMSSIST WITH PROVIDING COST

772
04:54:14.466 --> 04:54:30.066
ESTIMATES. THIS ALLOWED US TO UNDERSTAND WHERE WE M POTENTIALLY BE OVER BUDGET AND REASSESS WHERE WE COULDIND COST SAVINGS OR SLIGHT REDESIGNS. SOME OF THESE SAVINGS OR SOME OF THIS TRACKING ALLOWED US TO IDENTIFY WHERE WE COU

773
04:54:30.066 --> 04:54:46.833
REUSE EXISTING PLUMBING, WHERE WE COULD REUSE EXISTING WALLS. AND BASICALLY HAVE A BETTER MECHANICAL LAYOUT THA SHORTENED THE DUCT RUNS. THAT LED US TO HAVE A PROJECT THAT IS WITHIN BUDGET AND WE'RE NOT HAVING TO GO OUT TO BID BECAUSE WE ARE

774
04:54:46.833 --> 04:55:07.533
ER BUDGET. THE FLOOR PLAN THAT IS SHOWN RIGHT NOW IS BASICALLY THE BUILDING AS ITS DESIGNED TODAY. IT IS THE EXISTING FOOTPRINT AND THEN THE SPACES IN THE CENTER THAT ARE COLOR COORDINATED. IF NORTH IS UP AND

775
04:55:07.533 --> 04:55:24.533
MINNEHAHA IS TO THE LEFT THAT RUNS NORTH AND SOUTH, THE TWO MAIN ENTRY POINTS ARE DESIGNATED OR DENOTED BY THE GREEN AND BLUE ARROWS. THE GEN ARROW IS THE MAIN NEW ENTRY FOR THE COMMUNITY SAFETY CENTER. SO THIS WOULD PROVIDE ACCESS TO ANYONE LOOKING

776
04:55:24.533 --> 04:55:40.666
TO VISIT THE 311 SERVICE DESK, WHICH IS SHOWN IN YELLOW. ATTEND A COMMUNITY MEETING OR USE COMMN GREEN. THE COMMUNITY ROOM IS RIGHT WHEN YOU WALK IN TO THE RIGHT. AND FOR OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS AND NAVIGATORS, THEY

777
04:55:40.666 --> 04:55:56.333
HAVE THE RED SPACE BEHIND THE SERVICE DESK. SO THE MAIN ENTRY IS THE MAIN ACCESS POINT TO ALL THESE COMMUNITY FUTIONS. DOWN, I DO WANT TO NOTE THAT THE YOUTH CONNECTION CENTER IS THE ORANGE SQUARE RTANGLE TO THE NORTH

778
04:55:56.333 --> 04:56:13.833
THAT HAS ITS OWN SEPARATE ENTRY. THAT ENTRY ALSO DOUBLES AS A BACK OF HOUSE ENTRY F SERVICE CENTER AND EMPLOYEES AND COMMUNITY NAVIGATORS.OVING DOWN ON THE BUILDING TO THE BLUE ARROW, THAT'S THE EXISTING ENTRY THAT IS BECOMING THE POLICE

779
04:56:13.833 --> 04:56:28.766
PUBLIC ENTRY. THAT IS WHERE ANYONE WOULD LOOK TO VISIT WITH AN OFFICER, FILE A REPORT. THEY WOULD ENTERHAT POINT. AND BEYOND THAT IS THE POLICE FUNCTIONS FOR THE 3RD PRECINCT.

780
04:56:28.766 --> 04:56:44.666
THE POLICE FUNCTIONS ARE TYPICAL TO ANY PRECINCT. SUPPORT SPACES FOR REPORT WRITING. OPEN OFFICE SPACES FOR PROPERTY CRIME AS WELL AS ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS FOR ROLL CALL, THE LOCKER ROOM, GEAR

781
04:56:44.666 --> 04:57:00.416
STORAGE AND SUCH. THE LIGHTER BLUE AREA TO THE RIGHT, WHICH WOULD BE THE EAST END OF THE BUILDING, THAT IS INDOOR PARKING FOR POLICE SQUADS MARKED AND UNMARKED VEHICLES. LASTLY, I WANT TO POINT OUT THAT THERE IS

782
04:57:00.416 --> 04:57:20.500
A SMALLMESNINETEEN IN THIS PROJECT. THAT FUNCTIONS PRIMARILY AS A MECHANICAL SPACE AND THEN SOME SMALLER SLEEP ROOMS FOR POLICE. THE EXTERIOR

783
04:57:20.500 --> 04:57:37.000
APPEARANCE FOR THE SOUTH MINNEAPOLIS COMMUNITY SAFETY CENTER CAN BE SUMMED UP IN ONE ROOM, SIMPLE. WHEN YOU HAVE A WAREHOUSE THAT'S DESIGNED MONOTONOUS FINISH TO APPLY NEW FINISHES TO. SO AN EFFORT WAS

784
04:57:37.000 --> 04:57:53.833
MADE TO BE CAUTIOUS WITH WHERE YOU SPENT RESOURCES AND REALLY MAKE THE ENTRANCE THE FOCAL POINT. THE ENTRY IS PRETTY MUCH IN THE CENTER OF THIS IMAGE. AND TO THE LEFT IS GOING TO BE THE NAMING OR SIGNAGE FOR THIS

785
04:57:53.833 --> 04:58:08.233
FACILITY. THAT LOCATION IS EVIDENT WHEN YOU DRIVE INTO THE PARKING LOT. IT ALSO IS COMPLEMENTED BY A WARMER WOOD-LOOKING METAL PANEL. IT'S MEANT TO DRAW ATTENON TO THE

786
04:58:08.233 --> 04:58:26.433
ENTRY AS WELL AS SOFTEN SOME OF THE EXISTING CMU. THE BUILDING WILL RECEIVE FRE PAINT AS WELL AS AWNINGS THAT HELP WITH SUN SHADING ON THE WDOWS WHICH YOU SEE ON THE TOP IMAGE IS THE COMMUNITY WINDOWS, AND THE SOUTH

787
04:58:26.433 --> 04:58:41.133
FACING WINDOWS AS WELL. WHAT THISMAGE DOESN'T SHOW YOU ARE THE ENERGY ENHANCEMENTS OR DAYLIGHTING BENEFITS THAT WERE ADDED TO THIS BUILDING THROUGH THE ROOF. THERE IS GOING T BE A NEW ROOF ON THIS FACILITY ALONG

788
04:58:41.133 --> 04:58:59.666
WITH SKYLIGHTS AND SOLAR TUBES BRING DAYLIGHT INTO THE CENTER OF THE BUILDING. THERE'S ADDED INSULATION IN THE ROOF, SURROUNDING WALLS, AND IN ADDITIONO THE ENERGY INSULATION, THE ROOF IS BEING STRUCTURED FOR A FUTURE SOLAR IF

789
04:58:59.666 --> 04:59:18.000
THAT IS DESIRED DOWN THE ROAD. SO AT THIS POINT IN THE TIMELINE SHOWN ON THIS SLIDE, THE PROJECT ISONE WITH DESIGN. IT WAS ISSUED FORBID ON DECEMBER 2025,

790
04:59:18.000 --> 04:59:34.200
AND WE RECEIVED BID PROPOSALS FOR THE PROJECT. DURING THE BID REVIEW, CIVIL RIGHTS FIGHT THE ITEM THAT REQUIRED THE PROJECT TO BE REBID. PART OF THIS WAS ADVISED BY THE CITY ATTORNEY'S

791
04:59:34.200 --> 04:59:53.100
OFFICE AS WELL. TAKING THIS DIR DOCUMENTS AND WE STILL HAD HIGH INTEREST IN THE PROJECT AND RECEIVED FAVORABLE BIDS. S IN FEBRUARY-MARCH OF THIS YEAR, A LOW RESPONSIVEIDDER HAS BEEN

792
04:59:53.100 --> 05:00:09.833
IDENTIFIED AS EBERT CONSTRUCTION. SO WITH THIS COUNCIL ACTION WITH EBERT CONSUCTION, THIS WOULD BE MORE OR LESS STEP THREE. THE CONSTRTION OF THE PROJECT. IT'S ALSO A MILESTONE FOR THE SOUTH MINNEAPOLIS COMMUNITY SAFETY CENTER AS IT'S ONE STEP CLOSER TO MAKING THIS BUILDING A

793
05:00:09.833 --> 05:00:26.666
REALITY. THE PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT IS WITHIN BUDGET. FUNDING IS FULLY SECURED THROUGH THE CAPITAL BUDGET PROGRAM. IF WE GET APPROVAL TO PROCEED, WE WOULD START AN ANTICIPATED CONSTRUCTION DATE IN

794
05:00:26.666 --> 05:00:42.766
MAY 2026. THIS WOULD BE A FAST MOVING PROJECT. WE WOULD SIT DOWN WITH THE CONTRACTOR TO IDENTIFY WRE WE COULD SPEED UP THE CONSTRUCTION AND WORK WITH THEM ON AN EXPEDITED OR CONDENSED SCHEDE WHERE POSSIBLE. ULTIMATELY, WE WANT TO

795
05:00:42.766 --> 05:01:00.066
GET TO STEP FOUR AND WE WANT TO OPEN THIS BUILDING FOR THE COMMUNITY AND COMPLETE THE SOUTH MINNEAPOLIS COMMUNITY SAFETY CENTER. THIS CONCLUDES THE PRESENTATION ASSOCIATED WITH THE REQUT FOR COUNCIL ACTION FOR

796
05:01:00.066 --> 05:01:13.133
THE CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT ADVANCING THE SOUTH MINNEAPOLIS COMMUNITY SAFETY CENTER. I'M HAPPY TO STAND FOR QUESTIONS RELATED TO THE PROJECT DELIVERY. THANK YOU. >> THANK Y SO MUCH FOR YOUR PRESENTATION. REALLY APPRECIATE

797
05:01:13.133 --> 05:01:31.533
IT. I AM GLAD THAT WE'RE MOVING FORWARD ON CONSTRUCTION. IT IS A REALLY BIG MILESTONE. AND THANK YOU TO ERYONE THAT'S BEEN WORKING ON THIS. I WILL SHARE

798
05:01:31.533 --> 05:01:48.333
THAT SINCE I WAS ELECTED TO BE THE COUNCIL MEMBER REPRESENTING THE 12th WARD THAT IS REPRESENTED BY THE 3RD PRECINCT WHERE I BELIEVE 150,000 RESIDENTS PLUS COMMUNITY MEMBERS HAVE BEEN WAITING IN GREAT ANTICIPATION FOR THIS CENTER TO

799
05:01:48.333 --> 05:02:05.833
OPEN. WE GET MESSAGES TO MY OFFICE ALMOST WEEKLY ASKING WHEN WILL THIS CENTER BE OPEN. AND AS TIME HAS GONE ON, THE OPEN DATE

800
05:02:05.833 --> 05:02:23.333
HAS MOVED SIGNIFICANTLY. THE HOPE WAS THAT IT WOULD B OPENED BY THIS CALENDAR YEAR. OBVIOUSLY, THERE ARE CHALLENGES. BUT I DO JUST WANT TO SHARE TO STAFF, AND THEN ACKNOWLEDGE TO

801
05:02:23.333 --> 05:02:38.666
MYOMMUNITY THAT HAS EXPRESSED TO ME THAT I HEAR YOUR USTRATION. I REALLY HEAR YOUR FRUSTRATION. I REALLY WANT TO SEE THIS OPEN. S THE SERVICES THAT ARE HERE CAN BE AVAILABLE TO YOU. THIS HAS BEEN A NUMR ONE ASK THAT I HAVE RECEIVED

802
05:02:38.666 --> 05:02:55.333
YEAR AFTER YEAR. AND THEN THE ONE QUESTION THAT I HAVE IS WHAT IS NOW THE ANTICIPATED OPEN DATE? ARE WE THINKING IT WILL HAPPEN IN 2026 OR IS THIS SOMETHING THAT WILL MOVE INTO

803
05:02:55.333 --> 05:03:13.566
2027 TO BE MORE ON THE ME I GUESS SAFE SIDE OF ESTIMATING TIMELINES AT THIS POINT. >> CHAIR CHOWDHURY, THANK Y FOR THE QUESTION. BASED ON WHAT WE KNOW TODAY, WE HAVE TO SIT DOWN WITH THE CONTRACTOR AND

804
05:03:13.566 --> 05:03:30.233
UNDERSTAND THEIR SCHEDULE. I DON'T WANT TO PROMISE A DATE WE CAN'T DELIVER. BUT IT IS IN ALL OF OUR INTEREST TO DELIVER THIS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. >> OKAY. SO THEN AT THIS POINT WE ARE NOT GIVING THE COMMUNITY AN OPENING DATE OR TIME. AND

805
05:03:30.233 --> 05:03:47.600
I'LL JUST SAY LIKE WE HAVE CONSISTENTLY GIVEN TIMES AND THESE HAVE BEEN CONSISTENTLY MOVED BACK. THAT REMAINS TO BE A CONCERN FOR SEVERAL COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND A POINT OF FRUSTRATION. BUT GLAD THAT THIS STEP IS HAPPENING. SO I WILL MOVE THIS FORWARD FOR APPROVAL.

806
05:03:47.600 --> 05:04:04.166
AND IF I COULD HAVE A SECOND. > >> SECONDED. >> SECOND. >> GREAT. I WILL RECOGNIZE COUNCIL MEMBER WONSLEY. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR CHOWDHURY. I DID HAVE A QUESTION REGARDING ACTUALLY THE BUDGET ON THIS BECAUSE IT'S BEEN A LITTLE

807
05:04:04.166 --> 05:04:21.833
UNCLEAR TO ME OF WHERE WE'RE AT NOW. I KNOW THE CAPITAL REQUEST HAS THE TOTAL COST BEING $29 MILLION, $29.7 MILLION. JUST LOOKING BACK AT THE MEMO, IT

808
05:04:21.833 --> 05:04:37.250
INITIALLY SHARED THAT THERE COULD BE A COMBINED TOTAL OF COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS PROJECT BETWEEN $21 MILLION TO $22.5 MILLION, WHICH WE'RE CLEARLY EXCEEDING. BUT THEN

809
05:04:37.250 --> 05:04:54.950
THESE FIGURES WERE BASED ON A 12-18 MONTH TIMELINE FROM DESIGN CONSTRUCTION TO OPEN. SO HAS THERE BEEN UPDATED FIGURE OF WHEREE AT ACTUALLY ACCURATELY AROUND THIS TOTAL COST OF THIS PROJECT. CONSIDERING I DON'T KNOW IF THE MEMO NUMBERS THEN

810
05:04:54.950 --> 05:05:12.850
ARE A LITTLE BIT OUTDATED WITH THAT $21 MILLION TO $22 MILLION. >> CHAIR CHOWDHURY, COUNCIL MEMBER WONSLEY, YUP, THE BUDGET GHT NOW IS -- WE'VE HAD A FEW

811
05:05:12.850 --> 05:05:27.950
CAPITAL PROJECT NUMBERS. ONE WITH THE SITE ACQUISITION. AND THEN ONE WITH THE DESIGN WITH WALD THAT WAS RIGHT AROUND $1 MILLION. AND THEN WITH THIS CONSTRUCTION BID THAT WE RECEIVED THAT'S RIGHT AROUND

812
05:05:27.950 --> 05:05:43.650
$18.25 MILLION I WANT TO SAY. >> THE TOTAL COSTS THOUGH. I SAW IN THE RCA, YOU HAVE THE FISCAL NOTE OF THAT $18 MILLION BE REFERENTSED. BUT WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE CAPITAL REQUES TA COMING IN OR UNDER

813
05:05:43.650 --> 05:05:59.216
BUDGET. IS THA $29.7 MILLION IN THE CAPITAL REQUEST. IS THAT THE TOTAL COST AS OF NOW? I'M SEEING DIRECTOR O'BRIEN SAY YES. THIS IS INCLUDING THE KIND OF UNCERTAIN OPEN TIMELINE, CORRECT? SO WE DON'T ANTICIPATE THERE WILL BE INCREASES IN THIS

814
05:05:59.216 --> 05:06:15.983
BASED OFF OF THE UNDEFINED CONSTRUCTION DATE. OKAY. [LAUGHTER] >> MY NODDING. CHAIR CHOWDHURY AND COUNCIL MEMBER WONSLEY, YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. THE BUDGETS THAT YOU'RE SEEING ARE

815
05:06:15.983 --> 05:06:33.150
REFLECTIVE OF WHAT WE KNOW TODAY WITH THE CONSTRUCTION BIDS THAT HAVE COME IN. SO THOSE ARE REAL NUMBERS. WE'LL BE ADVANCING WITH THIS CONTRACT. AND WE HAVE AN ANTICIPATED TIMEFRAME THAT WILL

816
05:06:33.150 --> 05:06:50.050
COVER THIS BUDGET WILL COVER THAT TIMEAME. >> OKAY. SO $29.7 MILLION WILL BE -- THAT'S ALL I WANTED TO KNOW. THANK YOU. >> YOU'RE WELCOME. >> COUNCIL MEMBER WHITG. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR CHOWDHURY. JUST A QUICK THANK YOU. WKED ON THIS PREVIOUSLY IN MY

817
05:06:50.050 --> 05:07:06.983
CAPACITY IN THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE AND KNOW THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROJECT FOR YEARS NOW. AND SO IT'S REALLY EXCITING TO KIND OF SEE IT KIND OF TAKE SHAPE AND KIND OF GET CLOSE TO THE FINISH LINE. HOPEFULLY THERE, GETTING THERE. BUT I WIL CONTINUE TO URGE OUR CITY AND

818
05:07:06.983 --> 05:07:22.983
CITY LEADERS TO CONTINUE KIND OF USING THE BROADER ECO SAFETY EFFORTS THAT WE DO AND WE ARE MOVING FORWARD AS A VERSION OF KIND OF MEETING THE EXCELLENCE OF PUBLIC SAFETY ACROSS OUR CITY. REALLY EXCITED TO SEE THE EFFORTS THAT ARE INCLUDED IN THIS FACILITY AND ENCRAGE US

819
05:07:22.983 --> 05:07:40.983
TO CONTINUE LOOKING AT THOSE EFFORTS AS WE BUILD OUT OUR PUBLIC SAFETY ECOSYSTEM BROADLY HERE IN THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS AND MEET ALL THE EFFTS THAT WE KNOW ARE SPECIAL FOR OUR CITY. SO JUST A DEEP THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU FOING THIS RK. I KNOW IT IS A LONG AND ARDUOUS

820
05:07:40.983 --> 05:07:57.850
PROCESS, EXCITED AND CLOSE TO GETTING THERE. I KNOW CLOSE IS DIFFERENT DEPENDING ON WHO IS ASKING. BUT APPCIATE Y'ALL WORK. THANK YOU. >> COUNCIL MEMBER VETAW. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR. I TOO JUST WANTED TO SAY I'M EXCITED TO SEE THIS PROJECT MOVING ALONG. I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY OF MY

821
05:07:57.850 --> 05:08:14.350
COLLEAGUES KNOW BUT THE CURRENT 3RD PRECINCT BUILDING IS NOT ONE TH I THINK IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR OUR OFFICERS. THEY'RE DEALING WITH A LOT OF ISSUES IN THAT BUILDING. WE WERE JACENT TO THEM AND I ALWAYS THOUGHT I WAS SNIFFING BLACK MOLD OR SOMETHING

822
05:08:14.350 --> 05:08:30.150
OVER THERE. I CAN OY IMAGINE WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE BUILDING WITH THE 3RD PRECINCT OFFICERS. I THINK WE'VE STEPPED UP AND WE'V MADE A COMMITMENT TO INVESTING IN THIS AND WE NEED TO KEEP ON, AND WEEED THAT COMMUNITY TO HAVE A SAFE AND

823
05:08:30.150 --> 05:08:47.650
SECURE PRECINCT. AND SAFE AND SECURE COMMUNITY SPACE. THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL SPACE NOT JUS FOR THE OFFICERS BUT THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY. AND I'D LOVE FOR US TO JUST CONTINUE WITH HAVING THIS PROJECT MOVE FORWARD SO OUR OFFICERS CAN MOVE INTO THE NEW THIRD PRECINCT AND WE CAN START

824
05:08:47.650 --> 05:09:03.716
TALKING ABOUT A NEW FOURTH PRECINCT. INSPECTOR ADAMS, I'M CHRING FOR INSPECTOR GOMEZ, BUT I'M REALLY JUST TRYING TO GET TO A PLACE WHERE WE CAN ONLY TALK ABOUT A NEW FOURTH PRECINCT BUILDING AT SOME POINT. THANK YOU, COLLEAGUES. >> COUNCIL MEMBER RAINVILLE.

825
05:09:03.716 --> 05:09:17.716
>> THANK YOU. I BRIEFLY WANT TO PASS ON MY THANKS TO STAFF FOR STICKING IN THERE. THIS IS A GREAT PLAN ANDE'VE HAD A LOT OF STOPS AND STARTS SINCE WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS. SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR PATIENCE. AND IN PARTICULAR TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENTND

831
05:10:44.683 --> 05:11:03.883
NOTE THAT. ALL RIGHT. THE NEXT ITEM IS THE SMALL BUSINESS RESILIENCY FUND LEGISLATIVE DIRECTE. AND THEN WE'LL ALSO TAKE UP THE SMALL BUSINESS

832
05:11:03.883 --> 05:11:21.216
RELIENCY FUND ALTOGETHER. I'M TRYING TO MAKE SURE I HAVE EVERYTHING HERE. OKAY. DIRECTOR HANSON, WELCOME, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR PATIENCE. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR CHOWDHURY, MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE, MY NAME IS ERIC HANSON. I AM THE

833
05:11:21.216 --> 05:11:37.350
DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY PLANNING AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. IN FRONT OF YOU TODAY IS THE SMALL BUSINESS RESILIENCY FUND. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT YOU APPROPRIATED IN ABOUT A MONTH AGO. AND $7 MILLION WITH SOME

834
05:11:37.350 --> 05:11:53.850
GUIDANCE ABOUT HOW TO APPROPRIATE OR HOW TO ALLOCATE THE FUNDING BASED ON LEGISLATIVE DIRECTIVE. AND I'M GOING TO REPORT ON THE LEGISLATIVE DIRECTIVE AND WE PUT TOGETHER WHAT WE WERE COMING BACK WITH WITH THE ALLOCATIONS. I WANT TO

835
05:11:53.850 --> 05:12:11.883
GROUND US. OPERATIONURGE HAD A IMPACT TO THE COUNTY. IN JAARY, WE BELIEVE THERE WAS $170 MILLION IN IMPACT OF THAT $81 MILLION IN DIRECT IACT TO CUSTOMER SERVING BUSINESSES WHICH EQUATED TO ABOUT

836
05:12:11.883 --> 05:12:28.416
$47 MILLION IN LOST WAGES FOR THE MONTH OF JANUARY. THE CITY IS REFINING THOSE NBERS AND WE WILL BE PRODUCING NEW REPORT IN ABOUT A MONTH WITH BETTER DATA. BUT THAT IS JUST SCALE. WE THINK THOSE NUMBERS WILL CHANGE THAT

837
05:12:28.416 --> 05:12:42.583
UNDERCOUNTS THE IMPACT ON THE ECONOMY INHE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS. YOU HAD 10 QUESTIONS THAT YOU WANTED US TO PONDER WHEN YOU ASKED US ABOUT THE LEGISLATIVE DIRECTIVE. I'VE SUMMARIZED THEM HERE ON THIS

838
05:12:42.583 --> 05:12:59.416
SLIDE. BUT ESSENTIALLY, YOU WANTED US TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WE WOULD DO WITH LOANS IF WE WERE TO DO ONE. DO WE HAVE AUTHORITY FOR IT? WE DO HAVE AUTHORITY. BUT I WILL TALK ABOUT OUR APPROACH IN A MINUTE. YOU WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WERE

839
05:12:59.416 --> 05:13:16.950
CONSIDERING ACTIVATING COMMERCIAL AND CULTURAL CORRIDORS AS BEST AS WE CAN. YOU WANTED US TO PRIORITIZE THE BUSINESSESHAT WERE IN THE MOST NEED. YOU'RE GOING TO SEE A FOCUS ON FOOD-BASED BUSINESSES IN A MINUTE. AND THEN CULTURAL

840
05:13:16.950 --> 05:13:33.716
MALLS AND COMMERCIAL DISTRICTS ACROSS. YOU WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE THINKING ABOUT OUTREACH EFFORTS TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS RESOURCES AVAILABLE. YOU WANTED US TO B EFFICIENT AND USE EXISTING CITY PROGRAMS SO THAT WE WOULDN'T HAVE TO COME BACK

841
05:13:33.716 --> 05:13:50.916
AND WRITE NEW PROGRAMS SO WE COULD GET THE MONEY OUT QUICKER. YOU ASKED US TO DO THIS EQUITABLY. YOUANTED US TO LOOK AT A CITY-WIDE APPROACH. YOU WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL 13 WARDS WERE IMPACTED BY THIS USE OF THIS RESILIENCY FUND. YOU

842
05:13:50.916 --> 05:14:07.183
WANTED US TO LOOK AT CUTTING RED TAPE IN GENERAL. WE'VE GOT A COUPLE OF APPROACHES THAT WE WILL BE PROPOSING ABOUT CUTTING RED TAPE. YOU WANTED US TO LEVERAGE NATIONAL SUPPORT. KEEP THE STORY OF MINNEAPOLIS PROMINENT IN THE NATIONAL DIALOGUE, NOT JUST WHAT HAPPENED

843
05:14:07.183 --> 05:14:21.683
IN JANUARY BUT WHAT WE ARE DOING IN OUR RECOVERY. AND WE'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT. YOU ASD US TO COORDINATE WITH IGR WHILE THE RILIENCY FUND IS NOT NECESSARILY A LEVERAGE FOR OTHER

844
05:14:21.683 --> 05:14:38.233
RESOURCES, WE ARE WORKING WITH IGR ON STATE FUNDING, AND PONTIALLY SOME FEDERAL FUNDING. THE COUNTY, THIS IS FOR ALL THOSE WATCHING, THE COUNTY HAS A PROGRAM FOR BUSINESSES WITHIN HENNEPIN COUNTY THAT NEED HELP WITH PAYING A MORTGAGE

845
05:14:38.233 --> 05:14:55.266
AND/OR RENT. THAT PROGRAM IS EN UNTIL TOMORROW, WEDNESDAY, THE 25th AT 4 P.M. SO IF Y'RE A SMALL BUSINESS WATCHING THIS, PLEASE LOOK TO THE HENNEPIN COUNTY WEBSITE FOR MORE INFORMATION ON THAT PORTUNITY. AND THEN LOOK AT THE OPPORTUNITIES AND THE CHALLENGES

846
05:14:55.266 --> 05:15:12.833
IN FRONT OF US. AND THE CHALLENGES ARE, WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT, BUT THE OPPORTUNITY HERE IS HOW DO WE BUILD ON TOP OF WHAT THE COMMUNITY HAS DONE. WE SAW THE COMMUNITY COME TOGETHER

847
05:15:12.833 --> 05:15:30.600
AND PERFORM MUTUAL AID NETWORKS REALLY GET OUT AND STAND UP TO THE TYRANNY THAT WE SAW ON THE STREETS. SO HOW ARE WE AS A CITY BUILDING ON THAT ENERGY. SO THE TAKEAWAYS WE HAVE FOR THE

848
05:15:30.600 --> 05:15:47.766
RESILIENCY FUND DESIGN HERE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION, WHICH YOU ASKED US TO LOOK AT IN THE LEGISLATIVE DIRECTIVE. AND I CAN GO OVER THEM. CITY-WIDE AVAILABILITY, YOU'LL SEE THAT THIS IS GOING TO IMPACT BUSINESSES ACROSS THE CITY.

849
05:15:47.766 --> 05:16:05.533
YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE AVAILABILITY BOTH PARTS OF THE RESILIENCY PART FOR BUSINESSES AND GROUPS THAT CELEBRATE EVERY CORNER OF MINNEAPOLIS. YOUSKED FOR SPEED. WE ARE TRYING TO SIMPLIFY OUR PROCESSES. YOU'LL SEE IN A

850
05:16:05.533 --> 05:16:22.200
MOMENT THAT THERE'S DIRECT FINANCIAL RELIEF THAT WILL REQUIRE NO ACTION BY A BUSISS. IT WILL JUST BE AUTOMATIC. YOU WANTED US TO ACTIVATE AROUND COMMUNY ENERGY. WE'RE WORKING WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF ARTS AND CULTURAL AFFAIRS. WE HAVE SOME INTERESTING COMPONENTS TO THIS

851
05:16:22.200 --> 05:16:39.100
RESILIENCY FUND THAT'S HOPEFULLY HELPING ENLIVEN THE ACTIONS WE CAN TAKE WITHHIS FUNDING. DIRECTOR BEN JOHNSON IS IN THE ROOM TOO TO TALK TO THAT. BE SMART ABOUT IT. WE KNOW IT'S

852
05:16:39.100 --> 05:16:56.233
$170 MILLION OF IMPACT SO FAR. HOW ARE WE BEING EFFICIENT ABOUT USING THESE FUNDS. AND THEN LEVERAGING EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE. WE HAVE PROGRA, BTAP PROGRAM, OUR LICENSING PROGRAM. WE'RE USING

853
05:16:56.233 --> 05:17:14.166
EXISTING PROGRAMS SO WE CAN GET MONEY OUT AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. AND REALLY TELL OUR STORY. CELEBRATE MINNEAPOLIS. THERE'S A LOT OF GREAT THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING IN MINNEAPOLIS. THIS IS MAYBE A WAY TO BOLSTER WHAT'S HAPPENING IN COMMUNITY. HOW WE STOOD UP AND HOW WE ARE MOVING FORWARD.

854
05:17:14.166 --> 05:17:31.466
RESILIENCY FUND IS ESSENTIALLY TWO BUCKETS. DIRECT FINCIAL ASSISTANCE AND ACTIVATION AND MARKETING. DIRECT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IT'S $4.5 MILLION BROKEN INTO TWO CATEGORIES. $4 MILLION INTO LICENSE FEE RELIEF, AND $500,000 INTO

855
05:17:31.466 --> 05:17:49.200
CULTURAL MARKET GRANTS. THE $2.5 MILLION IS IN SIX PROGRAMS THAT HELPS WITH ACTIVATING COMMERCIAL AND CULTURE -- MMERCIAL DISTRICTS AND CULTURAL DISTRICTS ACROSS THE CITY AND TELLING OUR STORY. IN THE DIRECT FINANCIAL RELIEF

856
05:17:49.200 --> 05:18:07.200
COONENT, WE HAVE $4 MILLION. $4 MILLION WOULD BE FOR ALL FOOD-BASED BUSINESSES THAT HAVE A LICENSE FEE WITH THE CITY. THAT WOULD BE PAID. IT WOULD BE THEIR FOOD LICENSE AND THEN IF YOU HAVE A LIQUOR LICENSE, THOSE ARE THINGS THAT ARE PAID TWICE A

857
05:18:07.200 --> 05:18:23.000
YEAR. THEY'RE SEMI-ANNUAL PAYMENTS. ONE HALF OF THAT. SO THIS WOULD HIT ABOUT 2100 BUSINESSES ACROSS THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS. AND WITH ABOUT AN $1,800 AVERAGE IMPACT SAVINGS FOR THE BUSINESS. AND THIS WOULD

858
05:18:23.000 --> 05:18:40.266
BE MEDIATE. SO WHEN WE WOULD DO THIS PROGRAM WITH YOUR APPROVAL, BUSINESSES ACROSS THE CITY THAT ARE IN THE FOOD. SO FOOD, RESTAURANTS, GROCERY STORES, CONVENIENCE STORES WOULD

859
05:18:40.266 --> 05:18:57.633
GET AICENSE RENEWAL. BUT THEY WOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY A FEE FOR . SO THAT WOULD BE IMMEDIATE. ALL BUSINESSES ACROSS THE CITY WOULD GET IT ALL WITHIN THOSE CATEGORIES WITHOUT HAVING TO DO A THING. THE $500,000 IS FOR CULTURAL MALLS. WE KNOW THAT

860
05:18:57.633 --> 05:19:15.333
THEY HAVE BEEN HIT PRETTY HARD BY OPERATION METRO SURGE. THIS IS A PROGRAM THAT WE STOOD UP DURING THE COVID -- AFTER THE COVID PANDEMIC. THIS GIVES $50,000 IN GRANTS TO THE OPERATIONS OF THE MAL FOR LIKE SECURITY, MARKETING, COMMON AREA

861
05:19:15.333 --> 05:19:32.633
MAINTENANCE. THIS IS A WAY TO DEFRAY COMMON COSTS FOR THE BUSINESSES THAT ARE IN THE MALL. ON THE OTHER SIDE OFHE FUND IS $2.5 MILLION IN MARKETING. BUSINESS DISTRICT SUPPORT. AS YOU KNOW THAT'S JUST SOMETHING WE COME TO THE CITY COUNCIL

862
05:19:32.633 --> 05:19:50.966
YEARLY. WE REISSUED -- WE HAD A NOFA THAT WENT OUT IN NOVEMBER. WE STOPPED THAT PROCESS EARLIER THIS YEAR AND RE-ISSUED THAT NOTICE OF FUNDING AVAILABILITY WITH ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS ON HOW

863
05:19:50.966 --> 05:20:07.066
WOULD YOUR ORGANIZATION COMBAT THE IMPACTS OF OPERATION METRO SURGE. WE'VE ACTUALLY BROUGHT IN THOSE -- WE'VE RECEIVED THOSE APPLICATIONS ALREADY. THE $350,000 YOU SEE IN FRONT OF YOU WOULD BE ADDED TO THE $650,000 THAT WE ALREADY HAVE. SOE'D

864
05:20:07.066 --> 05:20:23.966
HAVE $1 MILLION FOR ACTIVATIONS THROUGH THE BD PROGRAM IN THE ACTIONS THAT ARE IN FRONT OF YOU, YOU WOULD ALSO DELEGATE AUTHORITY TO ME SO THAT WE COULD MOVE QUICKLY TO GETTING THESE, YOU KNOW, CUT SOME BUREAUCRATIC TAPE SO WE WOULDN'T HAVE TO COME BACK. WE WOULD MOVE QUICKLY TO

865
05:20:23.966 --> 05:20:41.533
REVIEW, APPROVE, AND THEN GO TO CONTRACTING SO THAT WE COULD GET THIS FUNDING OUT. SO IT'S AVAILABLE FOR LATER THIS SPRING AND INTO THE SUMMER. THE BUSINESS TECHNICAL ASSISTANC PROGRAM. WE'VE ADDED ANOTHER

866
05:20:41.533 --> 05:20:58.950
$500,000. SO THERE'S $1 MILLION FOSMALL BUSINESS TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE. WE'RE SEEING A SURGE IN NEEDS FOR LEGAL ASSISTANCE AND MARKETING. AND JUST GENERAL BUSINESS CONSULTING. WE WOULD --

867
05:20:58.950 --> 05:21:15.766
THERE'S AN ACTION WITHIN THIS REPORT THAT IS ALSO ASKING FOR SOME PROGRAM GUIDELINES UPDATES. AND THIS BASICALLY ALLOWS FOR SOME BUSINESS OUTREACH, WHICH IS TO BE AN ELIGIBLE EXPENSE SO THESE COMMUNITY-BASED

868
05:21:15.766 --> 05:21:31.350
ORGANIZATIONS CAN GO OUT AND CONTACT BUSINESSES DIRECTLY SO THEY'RE NOT WAITING PASSIVELY FOR PEOPLE TO WALK IN THE DOOR. IT'S A WAY TO BREAK DOWN THE BARRIER TO KNOWING THIS RESOURCE IS AVAILABLE. AND IT ALSO INCREASES THE CAP ON

869
05:21:31.350 --> 05:21:47.366
ORGANIZATIONS. RIGHT NOW IT'S $50,000 THAT AN ORGANIZATION CAN GET FROM US IN A YEAR BECAUSE OF THE INCREASE IN DEMAND, WE WANT TO RAISE THAT TO $75,000. CULTURAL BUSINESS WEEKS. WE HAVE $170,000 IN OUR BUDGET FOR

870
05:21:47.366 --> 05:22:04.050
CULTURAL BUSINESS WEEKS. THIS WOULD BE ADDED ON TO THAT SO THAT WE COULD INCREASE CULTURAL BUSINESS WEEKS. THROUGHOUT THE CITY RIGHT NOW WE HAVE A BLACK BUSINESS WEEK AND LATINO BUSINESS WEEK. WE'RE SEEING IF WE CAN ENHANCE WHAT'S IN THOSE TWO WEEKS, BUT IF THERE ARE OTHER CULTURES THAT WANT TO DO

871
05:22:04.050 --> 05:22:21.800
BUSINESS WEEKS, WE WANT TO GIVE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THAT TO FLOURISH THIS YEAR. THE NEXT COMPONENT OF THIS IS FEE-FREE EVENTS IN 2026. THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THOSE ORGANIZATIONS, NEIGHBORHOOD

872
05:22:21.800 --> 05:22:40.583
GROUPS, BUSESS ASSOCIATIONS, FRATERNAL ORGANIZATIONS WHO WANT TO DO EVENTS LIKE BLOCK EVENTS OR FARMERS MARKETS OR CRAFT FAIRS. IF THEY WANT TO DO THOSE EVENTS, THIS IS A WAY TO GET PEOPLE OUT IN THE STREETS DOING SOME THINGS, CELEBRATING MINNEAPOLIS. THEY WOULD COME TO THE CITY. AND THE FEES THAT THEY

873
05:22:40.583 --> 05:22:55.566
WOULD PAY FOR LIKE -- THE FEES THAT THEY WOULD PAY FOR THOSE EVENTS FROM THE CITY WOULD BE COVERED THROUGH THIS. AND THE WAY THAT THEY WOULD COME TO IT, THEY STILL NEED PERMITS. BUT THEY JUST WALK IN, TY WANT TO DO A BLOCK EVENT AND IT WOULD BE

874
05:22:55.566 --> 05:23:13.583
FOR $0. THE $600,000 IS MORE THAN WE EXPECT IN A YEAR. LAST YEAR WE RECEIVED ABOUT $400,000 ROUGHLY IN FEE REVENUE. WE THINK WE WANT TO SEE AS MANY OF THOSE EVENTS COME BACK. AND THEN THIS GIVES US THE ABILITY TO GET

875
05:23:13.583 --> 05:23:29.350
MORE. WE DON'T EXPECT THERE TO BE A LACK OF FUNDING FOR EVENTS. THIS WOULD BE A FIRST COME FIRST SERVED FUND. LAST TWO, THESE AR

876
05:23:29.350 --> 05:23:48.683
CULTURAL AFFAIRS. THE FIRST ONE IS ABOUT VENUE AND MUSIC ACTIVATION. AND THE SECOND ONE IS CREATIVE MARKETING ACTIVATION. IF DIRECTOR JOHNSON WANTS TO COME UP. YUP. OKAY. HE'S GOING TO GIVE A QUICK OVERVIEW OF THOSE TWO.

877
05:23:48.683 --> 05:24:04.783
>> GOOD AFTERNOON, CHAIR CHOWDHURY, AND COUNCIL. I'M BEN JOHNSON. I'M ARTS AND CULTURAL AFFAIRS DIRECTOR FOR THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS. AND I'M GOING TO SPEAK TO THE THREE PRIMARY AREAS THAT WE'RE THINKING ABOUT FOR MUSIC ACTIVATION. AND WHY MUSIC TO BEGIN WITH? BECAUSE I THINK

878
05:24:04.783 --> 05:24:21.150
IT HAS THE BIGGEST ECONOMIC AND CREATIVE DRIVER IN OUR CITY. IT'S ALSO THE BEST WAY TO PRACTICE INCLUSION IN OUR CITY AS WELL AS DO COMMUNITY COHESION. THE IDEAS THAT WE'RE COMING TO THE TABLE WITH ARE ONE, WE WANT TO USE SOME OF THIS FUNDING FOR AN EVENT CALLED FAMILY NIGHT OUT. SUPPORTING

879
05:24:21.150 --> 05:24:36.816
NEIGHBORHOOD MUSIC VENUES AND BREWERIES, RESTAURANTS, TO HOST MORE FAMILY-FRIENDLY AND YOUTH-BASED EVENTS DURING SUMMERTIME. AMALI'S BARBECUE IS GREAT. SMALL INDEPENDENT

880
05:24:36.816 --> 05:24:53.283
BUSINESSES. AND SUMMERTIME IS WHEN THEY MAKE THE MOST AMOUNT OF MONEY FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR. WE WILL WORK DIRECTLY WITH MINNESOTA NATIONAL INDEPENDENT VENUE ASSOCIATION AND HOSPITALITY, AND CULTURALLY-SPECIFIC VENUES TO

881
05:24:53.283 --> 05:25:10.950
MAKE THIS PROGRAM WORK. IN INITIATIVE RECOGNIZES THERE ARE VERY FEW FAMILY SPACES AND PROGRAMS IN MINNEAPOLIS. THIS INITIATIVE WOULD FOCUS ON WEEKEND AFTERNOONS AND PLANNED IN COLLABORATION WITH NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS AND FAMILY MEETUP GROUPS. THIS PROGRAMS HAS BEEN CONCEIVED IN A

882
05:25:10.950 --> 05:25:27.216
WAY TO SUPPORT COMING TOGETHER IN POSITIVE AND MEANINGFUL WAYS THROUGH MUSIC AS WELL AS THE IMPACTS -- FAMILY EVENTS THROUGHOUT THE CITY. THE OTHER PROGRAM THAT WE'VE CONCEIVED OF IS THE MINNEAPOLIS GIG FUND

883
05:25:27.216 --> 05:25:43.716
WHICH IS TO SUPPORT MUSICIANS, MUSICAL GROUPS, QUARTETS, ET CETERA, TO PERFORM IN ALL AREAS OF THE CITY, UPTOWN, LAKE STREET, DINKYTOWN, NORTHEAST, AND DISTRICTS TO PROVIDE MINOR FUNDING TO PROMOTE ONGOING

884
05:25:43.716 --> 05:26:00.883
FUNDING FOR MUSIC EVENTS. DISTRIBUTE THESE FUNDS EQUITABLY. WE ALSO HAVE A BIG IDEA CALLED MILE OF MUSIC MINNEAPOLIS. IT'S A NEW PROGRAM MODELED AFTER MILE OF MUSIC IN

885
05:26:00.883 --> 05:26:17.216
APPLETON, WISCONSIN. FOCUS WILL BE ON NICOLLET MALL AND LORING PARK AREA, THROUGH WHITTIER, AND 8TH STREET CROSSING. COORDINATED EFFORT TO PROGRAM LIVE AND ELECTRONIC MUSIC AT REGULAR AND

886
05:26:17.216 --> 05:26:29.083
HAPPY HOURS. FOR EXAMPLE, THURSDAY NIGHT COULD BE MILE OF MUSIC ON NICOLLET. THIS IS POSITIONING NICOLLET AS OUR VERSION OF BOURBON STREET IN NEW

887
05:26:29.083 --> 05:26:50.883
ORLEANS OR HONKYTONK HIGHWAY IN NASHVILLE. FOR THE CREATIVE MARKETING ACTIVATION, IS US WORKING THROUGH OUR ARTS

888
05:26:50.883 --> 05:27:09.066
SPECIALIST LISTS. WE WOULD WORK WITH MEDIA. THIS IS TO COORDINATE UP TO SEVEN INFLUENCERS IN MEDIA PER WARD TO TELL THE STORY OF EACH WARD OF THE CITY. ASIAN MEDIA ACCESS AND

889
05:27:09.066 --> 05:27:23.383
SOUL OF THE SOUTHSIDE WHO ARE ALREADY WORKING IN THIS WAY AS PART OF THE INITIATIVE. THE GOAL IS TO TELL UPLIFTING STORIES AND THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN UNREPRESENTED OR HAVE BEEN UN-INSTAGRAMABLE. THOSE ARE THE WAYS THAT WE'RE THINKING ABOUT

890
05:27:23.383 --> 05:27:42.633
THOSE TWO PROGRAMS. >> THANK YOU. THIS IS THE ALLOCATION JUST TO SHOW IT ALL ADDS UP TO $7 MILLION. AND THEN WHAT'S IN FRONT OF YOU, WE'LL USE THAT LATER -- WHAT'S IN

891
05:27:42.633 --> 05:27:58.883
FRONT OF YOU IS SIX ACTIONS. AND IT BASICALLY GIVES US THE AUTHORITY TO ALLOCATE THE MONEY INTO THESE DIFFERENT PROGRAMS. AND THEN UPDATES SOME OF THE TECHNICAL ASSISTANT PROGRAM GUIDELINES AND THEN GIVES

892
05:27:58.883 --> 05:28:14.766
AUTHORITY TO THE CPED DIRECTOR TO CUT THAT RED TAPE TO GET THESE FUNDS OUT ON TO THE STREET AS FAST AS POSSIBLE. THAT'S THROUGH THE GRANTS AGREEMENT, THE BUSINESS DISTRICT SUPPORTS AND RESTARTING THE CULTURAL MARKET PROGRAM AND GETTING THOSE

893
05:28:14.766 --> 05:28:31.683
OUT. SO THE NEXT STEPS THEN IF PASSED BY THE COUNCIL AND SIGNED BY THE MAYOR WOULD BE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE BDS GRANTS THAT ARE IN. WE ARE EVALUATING THOSE NOW TO START STRUCTURING A CONVERSATION WITH THE BUSINESSES

894
05:28:31.683 --> 05:28:48.283
THAT WOULD BE SUBJECT TO THE FEE RELIEF. AND THEN GETTING THE OTHER NOTICE OF FUNDING AVAILABILITIES OUT. AND THEN COMMUNICATING IN GENERAL. SO WE'RE WORKING WITH OUR ENGAGENT GROUP WITHIN CPED AND WE'LL BE WORKING WITH CITY COMMS TO MAKE SURE THERE'S AN UNDERSTANDING THAT THESE

895
05:28:48.283 --> 05:29:03.316
RESOURCES ARE AVAILABLE WIDE RANGE IN THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS. SO THAT PEOPLE KNOW THAT IF YOU'RE GOING TO PLAN A PARTY THIS YEAR AND YOU WANT TO DO IT IN A BUSINESS DISTRICT THAT YOUR FEES ARE FREE AND THE OTHER THINGS THAT I JUST MENTIONED. AND I'M HERE. THIS IS

896
05:29:03.316 --> 05:29:20.716
A BIG LIFT FOR THE CITY, FOR STAFF, FOR CPED. WE'VE HAD COLLABORATION FROM NEIGHBORHOOD AND COMMUNITY RELATIONS, AND ARTS AND CULTURAL AFFAIRS, OUR CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE, OUR FINANCE DEPARTMENT, AND THERE'S PROBAB A COUPLE OTHER THAT I'M MISSING. BUT THIS WAS A BIG LIFT FOR US IN THE LAST THREE WEEKS.

897
05:29:20.716 --> 05:29:36.416
AND WITH THAT, I WANT TO THANK THEM AND THEN I'M HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE PRESENTATION, DIRECTOR. COUNCIL MEMBERS, PLEASE GET IN QUEUE IF

898
05:29:36.416 --> 05:29:53.550
YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR WOULD LIKE TO GET IN TO DISCUSSION. I WILL RECOGNIZE COUNCIL MEMBER WONSLEY. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR CHOWDHURY. I WILL NAME WHEN I SAW THE PROPOSAL JUST BASED OFF OF THE CONVERSATIONS THAT WE HAD INITIALLY WHEN WE WERE TALKING ABOUT BRINGING THIS FORWARD. OF

899
05:29:53.550 --> 05:30:09.816
COURSE, I WAS EXCITED ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY TO SUPPORT OUR BUSINESSES. THAT'S BEEN MOST IMPACTED BY OPERATION METRO SURGE. AND BEEN EXCITED TO SUPPORT AN ADDITION OF $2 MILLION TO BE ALLOCATED TO THE FUND. BECAUSE I KNOW SOME OF THE CO-AUTHORS, INCLUDING

900
05:30:09.816 --> 05:30:26.850
MYSELF, WERE INSPIRED BY THE CONVERSATIONS THAT WE WERE HAVING WITH STAFF, BUSINESS OWNERS ABOUT THE POTENTIAL USE OF RESOURCES TO HELP STABILIZE BUSINESSES ON THE STREETS. I AM SURPRISED BY THE PROPOSAL WHICH IS ESSENTIALLY ASKING US TO

901
05:30:26.850 --> 05:30:43.316
UTILIZE NEARLY 70% OF THE FUNDING FOR FEES. MEANING THAT THE CITY WILL ESSENTIALLY KEEP THE BULK OF WHAT I BELIEVE MANY OF US HAD INTENDED TO GO DIRECTLY TOWARDS SUPPORTING BUSINESSES OR BUSINESS OWNERS.

902
05:30:43.316 --> 05:31:01.950
AND THIS FEELS LIKE IT'S TOEING THE LINE OR COULD THAN GETTING RESOURCES INTO THE HANDS OF BUSINESSES. THAT SAID, I DID HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS. I KNOW IN THE RCAs STATE THAT CO-AUTHORS. WHICH CO-AUTHORS

903
05:31:01.950 --> 05:31:20.316
WERE ABLE TO PROVIDE FEEDBACK ON THIS PROPOSAL? >> CHAIR CHOWDHURY, COUNCIL MEMBER WONSLEY, IT WAS COUNCIL MEMBERS CHUGHTAI, CHOWDHURY, AND CHAVEZ JOINED US IN A WORKGROUP RIGHT AFTER THE APPROPRIATION WAS APPROVED. >> OKAY. I THINK IT WOULD HAVE

904
05:31:20.316 --> 05:31:36.950
BEEN GREAT IF THERE WAS A BRIEFING WITH ALL CO-AUTHORS. BECAUSE I COULD HAVE HIGHLIGHTED THIS AND LOVED GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY FOR FEEDBACK. OF COURSE THE EMPHASIS ON EQUITY

905
05:31:36.950 --> 05:31:53.633
AND HOW WE'RE CONSIDERING THE ADMINISTRATION OF THIS FUND. AND SPECIFICALLY THE $4 MILLION THAT'S BEING APPROPRIATED TOWARDS FEES. SO I DID WANT TO GET A LITTLE BIT MORE CLARITY OF HOW YOU CAME TO FACTORING EQUITY WITHIN THE $4 MILLION AND

906
05:31:53.633 --> 05:32:10.016
DEVELOPING THISPROPOSAL. >> CHAIR CHOWDHURY, COUNCIL MEMBER WONSLEY, YEAH. THIS, I'LL BE HONEST WITH YOU, THIS WAS A VERY QUICK LIFT AND A SUBSTANTIAL LIFT. WE WERE THINKING ABOUT SPEED TO GET THIS BACK TO THE COUNCIL BY TODAY.

907
05:32:10.016 --> 05:32:26.033
THAT WAS OUR AGREEMENT. IT TOOK A LOT. THERE WASN'T A LOT OF EXTRA TIME, UNFORTUNATELY, TO GET THERE. I APOLOGIZE IF I RAISED EXPECTATIONS ABOUT A LOT OF COORDINATION. I'LL TAKE THAT. ON THE EQUITY QUESTION, SO THERE

908
05:32:26.033 --> 05:32:41.683
IS NO PERFECT PROGRAM WHEN IT COMES TO POTENTIALLY LOOKING AT LOANS OR ANY KIND OF THING THAT GOES OUT TO SMALL BUSINESSES. WHILE THIS IS A FEE-RELIEF PROPOSAL, IT IS A COST TO A BUSINESS. AND THIS IS SOMETHING

909
05:32:41.683 --> 05:32:59.466
THAT WOULD THEN REDUCE THE REQUIREMENT FOR ALL BUSINESSES TO HAVE TO FIND OUT THAT IT'S THERE, FILL OUT AN APPLICATION, GO THROUGH THE APPLICATION PROCESS, COMPLETE A LOAN AGREEMENT, AND THEN HONOR THE

910
05:32:59.466 --> 05:33:14.116
ELEMENTS AND THE CONTRACT TERMS IN THAT LOAN AGREEMENT. THIS THEN PUTS IT TOWARDS ALL FOOD BUSINESSES IMMEDIATELY GET THE RELIEF. AND THAT IS CASH. YOU

911
05:33:14.116 --> 05:33:30.000
EQUATED IT TO A REVENUE REPLACEMENT. THIS IS A COST TO A BUSINESS AND THIS IS A WAY FOR THE CITY TO IMMEDIATELY GIVE RELIEF TO A BUSINESS BECAUSE THEY WOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY US. IF THEY'VE ALREADY PAID THEIR RENEWAL FEE, WE WOULD REIMBURSE

912
05:33:30.000 --> 05:33:47.150
THEM AND THEY WOULD GET THAT MONEY BA. THIS IS A WAY TO GET TO 2100 BUSINESSES WITH BENEFIT. >> RIGHT. I'M GLAD YOU FACTORED IN THE PIECE TOO THAT I HAD CONCERN AROUND THE EQUITY. WE'VE HAD MULTITUDE OF CONVERSATIONS

913
05:33:47.150 --> 05:34:04.066
AROUND HERE ABOUT PROPOSALS. OPERATION METRO SURGE WHERE THERE'S BEEN CONCERNS AROUND A BLANKET APPROACH. THIS FEELS LIKE THIS IS IN ALIGNMENT WITH THAT. WANTING TO GET A SENSE OF WITH THE BLANKET APPROACH OF WAVING FEES, ARE WE ALSO NOT CONCNED THAT WAIVING FEES FOR

914
05:34:04.066 --> 05:34:20.650
BUSINESSES WHO WERE NOT ACTUALLY IMPACTED MIGHT BE A FACTOR INTO THIS. AND ALSO WOULD LOVE TO GET A BREAKDOWN OF THE BUSINESSES THAT'S WITHIN THOSE CATEGORIES THAT YOU MENTIONED LIKE HOSPITALITY, RESTAURANTS, CONFECTIONARY. I WOULD SAY THAT'S GREAT THAT WE'RE LOOKING

915
05:34:20.650 --> 05:34:36.700
AT WAIVING FEES FOR CONFECTIONARY BUSINESSES. WE'VE HAD LONGSTANDING DEBATES ABOUT OUR CERTAIN DOWNTOWN BUSINESSES THAT ACTUALLY BROUGHT IN PROFITS DURING THIS TIME OF OPERATION METRO SURGE AND WERE ABLE TO WITHSTAND. IS THAT ON PAR WITH BUSINESSES ALONG EAST LAKE

916
05:34:36.700 --> 05:34:53.083
STREET WHO DID NOT HAVE THAT REVENUE COMING IN BUT BOTH ARE GETTING THEIR FEES WAIVED. COULDN'T THAT YET YIELD MORE RESOURCES FOR BUSINESSES THAT ACTUALLY DID NOT HAVE REVENUE COMING IN? I REALLY WANTED TO GET A SENSE OF WAS THAT CONSIDERED TOO? >> CHAIR CHOWDHURY, COUNCIL

917
05:34:53.083 --> 05:35:09.266
MEMBER WONSLEY, WHEN WE LOOKED AT THIS, THERE'S NO, AGAIN, THERE'S NO PERFECT SYSTEM. WE CAN'T PICK AND CHOOSE IN THE CATEGORY. SO WE LOOKED AT FOOD-BASED BUSINESSES. GROCERY STORES, RESTAURANTS, CONFECTIONARIES. AND BECAUSE

918
05:35:09.266 --> 05:35:25.450
WHAT WE'VE HEARD FROM -- AND OUR DATA ISN'T PERFECT. THAT'S THE OTHER THING. THAT'S ONE OF THE WAYS I PUT UP THE IMPACT IS OUR DATA ISN'T PERFECT. BUT WHAT WE HAVE HEARD FROM NUMEROUS STAKEHOLDERS, BUSINESSES DIRECTLY IS THERE WAS NOT ONE BUSINESS THAT WASN'T IMPACTED BY

919
05:35:25.450 --> 05:35:41.866
OPERATION METRO SURGE AND THAT'S ACROSS ALL CATEGORIES. AND SO WE LOOKED AT BUSINESSES THAT WE'RE HELPING WITH THE MUTUAL AID WERE TYPICALLY IN THE FOOD-BASED BUSINESSES. AND A LOT OF RESTAUNTDID CLOSE. I DON'T

920
05:35:41.866 --> 05:35:58.150
HAVE DATA TO TELL YOU WHETHER A BUSINESS ON LAKE STREET VERSUS DOWNTOWN SUFFERED OR DID NOT SUFFER, PROFITED OR DID NOT PROFIT IN THE MONTH OF JANUARY. I DON'T HAVE THAT LEVEL OF DATA. BUT I KNOW I'VE TALKED TO -- WE'VE TALKED TO BUSINESSES ALL

921
05:35:58.150 --> 05:36:13.166
THROUGHOUT THE CITY INCLUSIVE OF DOWNTOWN AND THERE'S BEEN SOME IMPACT. >> I'LL NOTE MY REMAINING QUESTIONS FOR STAFF FOLLOW-UP. I'D ALSOIKE TO SEE WHY AREN'T WE USING A STANDARDIZED

922
05:36:13.166 --> 05:36:29.516
DEFINITION OF SMALL BUSINESSES. BTAP HAS 500 EMPLOYEES OR LESS. FOR OUR MINIMUM WAGE POLICY HAS 100 EMPLOYEES OR LESS. SO I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW WHY WE AREN'T MOVING WITH A STANDARDIZED DEFINITION FOR SMALL BUSINESSES.

923
05:36:29.516 --> 05:36:45.883
ALSO WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WITH THE ACTIVATION COMPONENT OF THIS PROGRAM, ARE WE IN PARTNERSHIP WITH MEET MINNEAPOLIS. SO A PORTION OF THIS FUNDING GOING OVER THERE. I ALSO LOVE TO KNOW HOW ENGAGEMENT WENT. I KNOW IT'S A SHORT TIME. BUT WITH BTAP

924
05:36:45.883 --> 05:37:02.750
PROVIDERS OR LOCAL BUSINESS ASSOCIATIONS LIKE WEST BROADWAY. I WANT TO KNOW HOW WE GOT TO A PLACE OF 70%. SO I WANTED TO NOTE THAT. AND I CAN EMAIL THOSE OVER. >> GREAT. COUNCIL MEMBER STEVENSON. >> YES, THANK YOU. I JUST HAD A

925
05:37:02.750 --> 05:37:20.883
COUPLE OF QUESTIONS. ONE, HOW SOON WOULD THIS TAKE EFFECT? >> COUNCIL MEMBER CHOWDHURY, COUNCIL MEMBER STEVENSON, AS SOON AS IT'S EFFECTIVE AS SOON AS IT'S BEEN PUBLISHED IN FINANCE AND COMMERCE, WHICH I BELIEVE WOULD BE AT THE END OF

926
05:37:20.883 --> 05:37:36.483
THE WEEK. SO IT WOULD BE NEXT WEEK. WE'RE ALREADY WORKING ON THE BUSINESS DISTRICT SUPPORT EVALUATIONS OF THEIR PROPOSALS. THE FEES, WE WOULD NOTIFY PEOPLE ABOUT THEIR LICENSE FEES. WE'D

927
05:37:36.483 --> 05:37:53.283
START THAT NEXT WEEK. WE'D HAVE TO GET THE COMMUNICATION PLANS PUT TOGETHER. AND EVERYTHING WOULD BE SUBJECT TO NOTICES OF FUNDING AVAILABILITY BASED ON THEIR PROGRAM. >> K ON -- OKAY. I WAS ASKING -- >> SO RIGHT AWAY. >> I'M PARTICULARLY CONCERNED ABOUT MAY DAY AND IF THEY'RE

928
05:37:53.283 --> 05:38:09.783
HAVING EXTRA DIFFICULTY GETTING OFF THE GROUND THIS YEAR GIVEN A LOT OF THINGS. SO I'M GLAD THEIR FEES WOULD BE WAIVED RIGHT AWAY. I'M TALKING ABOUT THE FESTIVAL MAY DAY. SECONDLY, THE FEE RELIEF IS FOR FOOD BUSINESSES.

929
05:38:09.783 --> 05:38:29.683
DID YOU CONSIDER DOING RETAIL AS WELL? >> COUNCIL MEMBER CHOWDHURY, COUNCIL MEMBER STEVENSON, WE DO NOT HAVE LICENSE REQUIREMENT FOR MOST RETAIL BUSINESSES. >> GOOD TO KNOW. >> YEAH. >> OKAY. SO A LOT OF RETAIL

930
05:38:29.683 --> 05:38:46.383
BUSINESSES DID SUFFER REALLY SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL IMPACTS. DO YOU SEE WAYS OUTSIDE OF ACTIVATION THAT THEY'LL BE BENEFITING FROM THESE MONIES? >> COUNCIL MEMBER CHOWDHURY, COUNCIL MEMBER STEVENSON, OUTSIDE OF THE CULTURAL, IF THEY'RE A RETAILER IN A CULTURAL

931
05:38:46.383 --> 05:39:02.650
MALL, THEY MIGHT HAVE SOME BENEFIT FROM THE CULTURAL MARKET PROGRAM. THERE ISN'T A DIRECT, YOU KNOW, WE PICKED FOOD BECAUSE -- FEE REVENUE, THE AMOUNT OF FEES WE GET FROM BUSINESS LICENSES EXCEEDS

932
05:39:02.650 --> 05:39:19.383
$7 MILLION. SO IF WE TOOK THIS APPROACH WITH ALL BUSINESS CATEGORIES, WE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO FUND ALL OF THEM. SOME BUSINESSES LIKE RETAIL, UNLESS THEY HAVE TOBACCO AND OTHER THINGS, DO NOT HAVE LICENSE FEES. SO THE ACTIVATION IS INTENDED TO GET PEOPLE OUT AND

933
05:39:19.383 --> 05:39:34.283
HOPEFULLY PATRONIZING THESE RESTAURANTS OR THESE RETAIL BUSINESSES AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. IF WE WERE TO DO LIKE A FORGIVABLE LOAN PROGRAM THAT WAS OPEN IT ALL BUSINESSES WITHIN THE CITY, THAT MONEY WOULD BE FEWER BUSINESSES THAN THE 2100 WE COULD HIT. AND IT

934
05:39:34.283 --> 05:39:50.066
WOULD TAKE MONTHS IN ORDER FOR US TO GET THE MONEY OUT. THEY'D BE OPEN TO IT BUT IT WOULD BE A SUBSTANTIAL LOTTERY. WE'RE ALSO PROMOTING FUNDING FROM THE COUNTY. THERE'S STILL FUNDING FROM PHILANTHROPY. AND WE'RE

935
05:39:50.066 --> 05:40:07.450
WORKING WITH IGR AROUND POTENTIALLY SOME SMALL BUSINESS LOANS THAT ARE COMING OUT OF THE LEGISLATURE. BUT THAT'S STILL IN THE LEGISLATIVE PROCESS. >> OKAY. THAT'S ALL FOR ME. THANK YOU. >> ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER VETAW. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR. THANK YOU, DIRECTOR HANSON. I REALLY LIKED

936
05:40:07.450 --> 05:40:24.316
THIS PROPOSAL. YOU KNOW, I WAS SKEPTICAL ABOUT THE TURNAROUND AND HOW QUICK WE COULD SUPPORT BUSINESSES. ONE OF THE THINGS I HEARD ALMOST ALWAYS WHEN I WAS TALKING TO BUSINESSES ABOUT THE HIT THAT THEY TOOK DUE TO OPERATION METRO SURGE WAS THAT IF THEY COULD RECOVER SOME OF

937
05:40:24.316 --> 05:40:43.066
THE FEES FOR THE LICENSES IN THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS THAT WOULD HELP OUT A LOT. SO I'M GLAD TO SEE THAT THAT IS WHAT THE BULK OF THE MONEY IS GOING TO BE USED FOR. AND THAT FEELS LIKE IT COULD BE SPREAD AROUND THE CITY

938
05:40:43.066 --> 05:40:59.816
EQTABLY. YOU'VE CAPTURED A GROUP OF BUSINESSES THAT WE KNOW HAVE BEEN IMPACTED GREATLY. I'M SO HAPPY TO SEE GROCERY STORES AND OTHER BUSINESSES THAT OPERATE WITH FOOD IN THE PROPOSAL BECAUSE SO MANY OF THEM HAVE BEEN HIT HARDER THAN, YOU

939
05:40:59.816 --> 05:41:13.666
KNOW, SOME OF THE OTHER BUSINESSES. I MET WITH A LARGE GROUP OF FOLKS OVER AT PLAZA MEXICO LAST WEEK. SO THEY WERE CONCERNED ABOUT FUNDING GOING TO THE OWNER OF THE BUILDING AND

940
05:41:13.666 --> 05:41:31.716
NOT NECESSARILY HAVING THE MONEY COME TO THE OPERATORS. I THINK THERE'S 70 OPERATORS IN THERE. THEY CERTAINLY NEED HELP WITH MARKETING AND GETTING PEOPLE BACK INTO THE PLAZA. BUT WHAT DO YOU THINK IS GOING TO

941
05:41:31.716 --> 05:41:48.066
BE -- WHAT DO YOU THINK COULD HELP WITH THOSE BUSINESSES IN THAT MALL OUT OF THIS PROPOSAL? >> COUNCIL MEMBER CHOWDHURY, COUNCIL MEMBER VETAW, I THINK WHEN WE LOOK AT THOSE IN THE CULTURAL MARKETS, IT WILL DEFRAY

942
05:41:48.066 --> 05:42:04.950
SOME OF THE COSTS. SO WE KNOW THAT THE CULTURAL MARKETS ARE FEELING THE PINCH FROM THE REDUCE -- LIKE, THEY'RE REPORTING LACK OF RENT COLLECTIONS. SO THEY'RE KIND OF IN THE RED RIGHT NOW. >> MM-HMM.

943
05:42:04.950 --> 05:42:24.183
>> THERE IS WHAT I WOULD SAY TO THE TENANTS WITHIN THOSE MALLS IS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE. BECAUSE THAT CAN HELP YOU. BECAUSE WE CAN GIVE MARKETING ASSISTANCE TO THESE BUSINESSES SO THAT THEY

944
05:42:24.183 --> 05:42:41.450
CAN GET LIKE THEIR OWN BRAND OUT INTO LARGER MARKETED AREA NOT JUST KNOWN FOR BEING IN THE MALL. THEY'RE ALSO THE TENANT IN THE MALL. THAT WOULD BE AVAILABLE TO THEM. AND I ALSO THINK WE HAVE TO LOOK AT THIS

945
05:42:41.450 --> 05:42:58.150
MARKETING ACTIVATION. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I'M EXCITED ABOUT IS HOW ACA CAN BRING IN CONTENT CREATORS TO LOOK AT THOSE NON-INSTAGRAMABLE BUSINESSES. HOW DO THEY START TO RAISE UP THE PROFILE OF THESE BUSINESSES

946
05:42:58.150 --> 05:43:15.550
THAT PEOPLE MIGHT NOT SEE DRIVING BY ON LAKE STREET OR WEST BROADWAY. BUT THEY'RE INSIDE THE BUILDING SO THERE MIGHT BE SOME OPPORTUNITY THERE. >> THAT'S GREAT. ESPECIALLY THE TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PIECE. THAT WAS CLEAR THAT THEY NEED

947
05:43:15.550 --> 05:43:32.250
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE. SO THAT'S GREAT. AND THEN ALSO IF THEY QUALIFY FOR REDUCTION OR REIMBURSEMENT IN FEES, CAN THEY ONLY APPLY FOR ONE?

948
05:43:32.250 --> 05:43:48.816
>> COUNCIL MEMBER CHOWDHURY, COUNCIL MEMBER VETAW, THE LICENSE FEES WILL BE AUTOMATIC. EVERYTHING ELSE IS OPEN TO WHATEVER THOSE PROGRAM GUIDELINES ARE. IT WILL NOT RESTRICT THEM. >> THAT IS SO AWESOME. SO THE LICENSE FEES ARE GOING TO BE AUTOMATICALLY TO THE BUSINESSES THAT HAVE LICENSES UNDER THIS

949
05:43:48.816 --> 05:44:04.316
CATEGORY. >> YEAH. >> AND THEN THEY'LL HAVE TO APPLY FOR THE OTHER PROGRAMS. >> RIGHT. >> THIS ISFANTASTIC. THANK YOU. >> AND IF I MAY, COUNCIL MEMBER CHOWDHURY, COUNCIL MEMBER VETAW, IF BUSINESSES ARE LOOKING FOR TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE, CALL THE

950
05:44:04.316 --> 05:44:22.783
SMALL BUSINESS TEAM AT 612-673-2499, AND WE CAN CONNECT YOU TO A SERVICE PROVIDER AND THAT SERVICE WILL BE PROVIDED FOR FREE. AND THAT'S AVAILABLE TODAY. >> I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT. BUT COULD YOU ALSO EMAIL THAT TO US? I THINK IT WOULD BE GREAT FOR

951
05:44:22.783 --> 05:44:39.483
THE CITY TO PUT SOMETHING OUT ON -- THE CITY HAS BEEN DOING A FANTASTIC JOB AT COMMUNICATIONS. SO WE NEED TO PUT SOMETHING OUT ON CITY COMMUNICATIONS. WE NEED TO PUT SOMETHING OUT ON HOWEVER CPED DOES AND NEWSLETTER, IN THE ART DEPARTMENT. I THINK ANY OF THE DEPARTMENTS THAT ARE

952
05:44:39.483 --> 05:44:55.433
TOUCHING THIS MONEY NEEDS TO LET PEOPLE KNOW. >> YEAH. >> WE HAVE TO GET THIS INFORMATION OUT TO FOLKS. SO WHATEVER NEWS BITES OR WHATEVER YOU HAVE -- GREAT THAT YOU SAID THE NUMBER. BUT WE REALLY NEED TO GET PEOPLE UERSTANDING WHEN

953
05:44:55.433 --> 05:45:10.650
THIS -- I'VE HAD SO MANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS $7 MILLION AND WHEN IS IT GOING TO BECOME AVAILABLE AND HOW ARE WE GOING TO BE ABLE TO ACCESS IT. SO THE MORE WE CAN COMMUNICATE WITH FOLKS WILL BE GREAT. THANK YOU, DIRECTOR. THIS IS REALLY GOOD.

954
05:45:10.650 --> 05:45:28.833
THANK YOU. >> NEXT, WE HAVE COUNCIL MEMBER CHAVEZ. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR CHOWDHURY. I DO WANT TO ADD CLARIFICATION. THERE WASN'T NECESSARILY A WORK GROUP ON THIS. IT WAS JUST ONE MEETING. AND I FOUND OUT ABOUT

955
05:45:28.833 --> 05:45:44.783
THIS PPOSAL WHEN PRESIDENT PAYNE WAS ASKED TO BE A PART OF A PRESS RELEASE. SO IT WASN'T LIKE I KNEW THIS WAS HAPPENING. SO I JUST WANTED TO CORRECT THE RECORD BECAUSE I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT. I THINK WHEN WE COMMIT TO WORK GROUPS AND WORKING WITH COUNCIL MEMBERS, WE SHOULD FOLLOW THROUGH ON THAT. SO I JUST WANTED TO CORRECT THE

956
05:45:44.783 --> 05:46:03.100
RECORD ON THAT. >> COUNCIL MEMBER PALMISANO. >> I'LL BE AS BRIEF AS POSSIBLE. I JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS WITH THE $4 MILLIO FOR LICENSE FEE FORGIVENESS. YOU KNOW, WE ASKED YOU TO GET MONEY

957
05:46:03.100 --> 05:46:19.983
OUT QUICKLY WITH REDUCED HURDLES AND THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE CITY. AND THIS DOES EXACTLY THAT. THIS IS MUCH FASTER THAN CREATING A PROGRAM, CREATING AN APPLICATION PROCESS, EVALUATING APPLICATIONS THAT COME IN AND FINDING SOME

958
05:46:19.983 --> 05:46:38.083
WAY TO DISTRIBUTE WHAT'S AN AGGREGATE SMALL AMOUNT OF MONEY IN AN EQUITABLE WAY. I DO REALLY APPRECIATE THIS AS THE BEST OPTION THAT WE HAVE TO GET THIS OUT THE DOOR AND IMPACTING BUSINESSES THAT HAVE THIS AS A REGULAR AND SOMETIMES VERY

959
05:46:38.083 --> 05:46:53.466
SIGNIFICANT BUSINESS EXPENSE IN THE VERY SHORT TERM. SO THANK YOU. >> COUNCIL MEMBER SHAFFER. >> A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS. THANK YOU, DIRECTOR HANSON. NUMBER ONE, WAS THERE A REVENUE BAR FOR THE RESTAURANT GROUPS OR WAS IT

960
05:46:53.466 --> 05:47:09.783
ALL RESTAURANTS CAN YOU REMIND ME OF CITY WIDE. OR WAS THERE A REVENUE BAR EVERYBODY UNDER THIS DOLLAR AMOUNT. >> CAN I CLARIFY THE QUESTION? WAS THERE A REVENUE CAP FOR PEOPLE WHO WOULD RECEIVE -- >> WHO COULD QUALIFY FOR THE

961
05:47:09.783 --> 05:47:26.533
LICENSE FEE WAIVER. >> TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION, NO, IT'S ALL LICENSE HOLDERS IN THAT CATEGORY. >> OKAY. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THAT'S AMAZING. AND NUMBER TWO, THE SECOND QUESTION IS ARE YOU GOING TO BE ROLLING OUT THIS INFORMATION TO THE PUBLIC, THE DETAILS OF IT AT THE SAME TIME

962
05:47:26.533 --> 05:47:43.083
AS COUNCIL MEMBERS OR WILL WE GET THATNFORMATION A LITTLE BIT PRIOR? CAN YOU SPEAK TO HOW -- OBVIOUSLY RKSS, THIS IS YOUR FIRST STEP IN IT BECOMING PUBLIC. NEXT STEPS. >> WE DID A LOT OF WORK TO GET TO THIS POINT. AND SO WE'RE IN

963
05:47:43.083 --> 05:47:59.833
FACT THE CLERK KNOWS I DELIVERED THE PRESENTATION YOU SEE IN FRONT OF YOU THIS MORNING. SO THAT'S HOW MUCH THIS IS JUST IN TIME. WE HAVE TO DO AN ENGAGEMENT STRATEGY, COMMUNICATIONS AND THE EXPECTATION IS TO HAVE MULTI-LEVEL, MULTI-CHANNEL COMMUNICATIONS SO THAT YOU AND

964
05:47:59.833 --> 05:48:17.750
YOUR COLLEAGUES WOULD HAVE THE SAME INFORMATION. SO WE NEED YOU AND YOUR COLLEAGUES TO PUT IT OUT ON YOUR NEWSLETTERS AND ALL OF YOUR SOCIAL MEDI CHANNELS, AND THEN WE WOULD DO THE SAME THING THROUGH CPED'S AND CITY WIDE. WE WOULD LOOK AT OUR SERVICE PROVIDERS AS WELL. WE

965
05:48:17.750 --> 05:48:32.333
WANT OUR SERVICE PROVIDERS, THIS IS WHY WE PUT IT IN THE BTAP PROGRAM CHANGES OUTREACH AS AN ELIGIBLE EXPENSE SO SERVICE PROVIDERS CAN BEGIN KNOCKINGN THE DOORS. THEY CAN ALSO PROMOTE THE OTHER PROGRAMS THAT WE HAVE

966
05:48:32.333 --> 05:48:49.016
LIKE OUR 2% LOAN PROGRAM OR OWNERSHIP AND OPPORTUNITY FUND AS A WAY TO GET INTO THE BUSINESSES. THIS WAY WE'LL BE ABLE TO PAY THOSE ORGANIZATIONS TO GET OUT THERE. SO IT'S GOING TO BE A -- WE'LL ALL HAVE TO BE ON THE SAME PAGE AND ALL DO IT TOGETHER. >> GREAT. WELL THANK YOU. I JUST

967
05:48:49.016 --> 05:49:04.933
WANT TO COMPLIMENT YOU ON THE CREATIVITY TIME AND EFFORT THAT THIS TOOK TO GET IT TO US HERE TODAY. AND I THINK YOUR CREATIVITY HAS BEEN SHOWN CLEARLY. I'M VERY HAPPY TO SUPPORT THIS. AND WHAT I ALSO REALLY LIKE ABOUT THIS IS THAT YOU CHALLENGE NEIGHBORHOODS,

968
05:49:04.933 --> 05:49:21.450
NONPROFITS, OTHER GROUPS TOEET THAT CHALLENGE OF CREATIVITY WITH THEIR OWN IDEAS TO COME FORWARD AND SAY, YOU KNOW, THIS IS NOT JUST A CITY COMMITMENT TO RECOVERY, THIS IS OUR NEIGHBORHOOD BEING COMTTED TO HOW WE WANT TO SEE RECOVERY HAPPEN IN OUR SPACES. SO I'M REALLY EXCITED TO SEE THE IDEAS

969
05:49:21.450 --> 05:49:38.233
THAT ARE GOING TO COME FORWARD. THANK YOU, DIRECTOR JOHNSON, FOR THE MILE OF MUSIC IDEA. ALL OF THESE IDEAS I THINK WILL REALLY ENCOURAGE ALL OF US TO THINK ABOUT HOW WE CAN GIVE BACK AND LEVERAGE WHAT WE HAVE ALLOCATED AS A COUNCIL FOR THE GREATER GOOD OF OUR COMMUNITIES AND THE

970
05:49:38.233 --> 05:49:55.483
GREATER GOOD OF RECOVERY. AND I ALSO WANT TO THANK COUNCIL MEMBER CHAVEZ FOR BRINGING THIS FORWARD FROM THE BEGINNING. AND I REALLY THINK THAT THIS IS REALLY AN EXCITING TIME. AND WITH ALL OF THESE INFLUENCERS GETTING A PIECE OF THE STIMULUS TO HELP DOCUMENT THIS, I THINK

971
05:49:55.483 --> 05:50:11.600
WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO LOOK BACK ON THIS MONEY WITH A LOT OF PRIDE AND USE IT TO DRAW PEOPLE TO COME TO MINNEAPOLIS FOR THESE EVENTS WITHIN OUR METRO AREA BUT EVEN BEYOND. SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR EFFORTS. I'M REALLY HAPPY TO SUPPORT THIS TODAY.

972
05:50:11.600 --> 05:50:27.150
>> CHAIR CHOWDHURY, COUNCIL MEMBER SHAFFER, THANK YOU FOR THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. AND I WOULD BE REMISS IF I DIDN'T SAY THAT THIS WAS NOT JUST MY CREATIVITY, IT WAS A TEAM OF STAFF ACROSS MULTIPLE DEPARTMENTS, AND IT ALL CAME TOGETHER I THINK NICE FOR

973
05:50:27.150 --> 05:50:43.833
US TO TALK ABOUT TODAY. SO I WANT TO THANK THEM TOO. >> COUNCIL MEMBER RAINVILLE. >> THANK YOU. DIRECTOR HANSON, I JUST WANT TO ECHO THE PRAISES HERE FOROU AND YOUR STAFF. THIS IS REALLY A VERY GOOD SOLID

974
05:50:43.833 --> 05:50:59.583
PROGRAM. I'LL BE VOTING FOR IT. I AM PARTICULARLY IMPRESSED WITH THE WAY THE LICENSE FEES GET TAKEN CARE OF IMMEDIATELY. THAT'S A GOOD WAY FOR US TO TELL THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY THAT WE WILL HELP THEM TOMORROW. SO HOW

975
05:50:59.583 --> 05:51:15.066
LONG IF WE VOTE THIS UP ON THURSDAY, HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO NOTIFY THEM THAT THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE THIS RELIEF? >> CHAIR CHOWDHURY, COUNCIL MEMBER RAINVILLE, HOPEFULLY NEXT WEEK. >> WONDERFUL. AND THEN THE OTHER PART THAT'S SO IMPRESSING, AND I SAW BEN NODDING ABOUT GETTING

976
05:51:15.066 --> 05:51:32.350
THE WORD OUT. BEN, REMEMBER, PART OF THE CITY ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RIVER. SO WE NEED SOME HELP OVER THERE. INOW SOMETIMES THE GEOGRAPHY IS A LITTLE CONFUSING. EXCUSE ME, NORTH OF HENNEPIN AVENUE. CITY

977
05:51:32.350 --> 05:51:50.366
EXISTS ON THAT NORTH SIDE. SO PERHAPS NEXT WEEK WE HAVE A PHONE CALL SO I CAN UNDERSTAND HOW I CAN HELP THESE CTURAL GROUPS AND BUSINESS GROUPS AVAIL THEMSELVES OF NOT ONLY YOUR PROGRAM.F I COULD GET A CONTACT NAME FROM YOUR DEPARTMENT AS WELL FROM CPED. THANK YOU.

978
05:51:50.366 --> 05:52:07.683
>> I HAVE MYSELF NEXT IN QUEUE. I JUST FIRST WANT TO START OFF BY SAYING THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK ON THIS. I THINK YOU WERE NOT GIVEN AN EASY TASK AT ALL. THERE WAS NO WAY THAT WE WERE GOING TO GET THIS PERFECT. WE HAD THE CHALLENGE OF DOING

979
05:52:07.683 --> 05:52:25.466
SOMETHING VERY QUICKLY. $7 MILLION. AND HAVING ALL OF THESE DIFFERENT NEEDS. AND THEN ALSO TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT'S THE MOST ACCESSIBLE WAY TO GET MONEY OUT TO LOCAL BUSINESSES, SMALL BUSINESSES IN OUR COMMUNITY VERY QUICKLY. SO I JUST FIRST WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE ALL THE WORK THAT WENT TO THAT,

980
05:52:25.466 --> 05:52:42.783
TO YOU DIRECTOR, AND TO THE ENTIRE STAFF TEAM. I ALSO WANT TO THANK COUNCIL MEMBER CHAVEZ, COUNCIL MEMBER WONSLEY, COUNCIL MEMBER CHUGHTAI, COUNCIL MEMBER PAYNE, COUNCIL MEMBER SORENSON,

981
05:52:42.783 --> 05:52:59.400
WHITING, EVERY SINGLE CO-AUTHOR THAT WORKED ON THE SMALL BUSINESS RESILIENCY FUND RESOLUTION. ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE WAS A LOT OF APPREHENSION AND MOVING FORWARD ON IT. I THINK IT'S REALLY GOOD WE MOVED

982
05:52:59.400 --> 05:53:12.750
FORWARD WHEN WE DID SO WE CAN HAVE SOMETHING THAT GOES ON INTO COMMUNITY. IT'S BEEN SOMETHING THAT OTHER LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT HAVE NOTICED. AND THEY ALSO WANT TO CHIP IN AND DO THEIR PART AND

983
05:53:12.750 --> 05:53:31.633
FEEL THAT URGENCY TO DO SO. ONE CONCERNS AS I'VE SHARED WITH YOU, DIRECTOR HANSON, IS AROUND EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION TO

984
05:53:31.633 --> 05:53:45.950
BUSINESSES THAT MIGHT NOT HAVE THE MUSCLE MEMORY OF REACHING OUT TO THE CITY AND ASKING FOR SUPPORT. I THINK ESPECIALLY FOR THE FEE-FREE EVENTS SINCE IT'S FIRST COME FIRST SERVE. I WORRY THAT BUSINESSES THAT MIGHT NOT

985
05:53:45.950 --> 05:54:04.216
HAVE AS MUCH ACCESS OR ABILITY TO NAVIGATE CITY SYSTEMS WILL BE ABLE TO GET THOSE RESOURCES. HOW DO YOU PLAN ON REACHING BUSINES BE EXCITED TO DO EVENTS BUT IT MIGHT BE TOO LATE FOR THEM TO ACCESS IT UNLESS THEY ARE MET

986
05:54:04.216 --> 05:54:20.100
EARLY IN THE FRONT END? >> CHAIR CHOWDHURY, THANKS FOR THE QUESTION. SO THE CITY IS PRETTY GOOD AT GETTING THE WORD OUT TO BUSINESSES THAT NOT ALWAYS IN THE MAINSTREAM. WE SEE

987
05:54:20.100 --> 05:54:37.583
THAT IN THE RESULTS IN OUR PROGRAMS THAT SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESSES. OUR BTAP PROGRAM, BUSINESSES TO SUPPORT PROGRAM, 2% LOAN PROGRAM TYPICALLY HAS SEVEN OR EIGHT PARTICIPANTS OUT

988
05:54:37.583 --> 05:54:53.066
DEPEND ON COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS TO REALLY GET OUT AND GET THE WORD OUT TO BUSINESSES. THAT'S ONE OF THE, AGAIN, ONE OF THE REASONS WHY WE WANT A CHANGE AT BTAP PROGRAM GUIDELINES SO THEY CAN DO OUTREACH PROACTILY GOING OUT

989
05:54:53.066 --> 05:55:08.550
AND FINDING BUSINESSES THAT ARE WITHIN THEIR SERVICE AREA OR CULTURAL COMPETENCE TO BRING THAT TO THEM. WE HAVE BEEN WORKING FOR THE LAST AS LONG AS I'VE BEEN BACK AT THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS, WE'VE BEEN WORKING CALL THE INVISIBLE HANDSHAKE

990
05:55:08.550 --> 05:55:24.000
VISIBLE TO ALL. WE ARE NOT GOING TO BE A SUCCESSFUL CITY IF THOSE WHO ALREADY HAD THE PRIVILEGE TO KNOW THAT THE GOVERNMENT SYSTEM IS FOR THEM TO PARTICIPATE. WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON CHANGING OUR PROGRAMS, CHANGING OUR

991
05:55:24.000 --> 05:55:40.583
REQUIREMENTS, BEING MORE VOCAL TRANSLATING THINGS, GETTING THINGS OUT, USING VIDEOS AND OTHER COMMUNICATION CHANNELS TO TRY AND ENGENDER THAT KIND OF RESPONSE THAT THIS CITY IS FOR EVERYONE, ESPECIAY IF YOU DIDN'T THINK IT WAS FOR YOU, WE WILL HELP YOU OPEN THE DOOR.

992
05:55:40.583 --> 05:55:58.100
THAT'S WHY WE HAVE A SPECIAL NUMBER FOR BUSINESSES. THAT'S WHY WE TRY AND MAKE IT AS DIRECT AS POSSIBLE. WE STILL DO NOT GET, WITH ALL OF THAT, WE STILL DO NOT GET ALL THE WAY THERE. WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO WORK TO MAKE SURE ALL OF OUR PROGRAMS ARE AS OPEN AND SUPPORTIVE OF

993
05:55:58.100 --> 05:56:15.483
ALL THE BUSINESS OWNERS SO THAT SOMEDAY WE DON'T HAVE THOSE DISPARITIES THAT WE SEE IN THE CITY. >> AND IF I COULD MAKE A SUGGESTION TO YOU. A LOT OF HOW THE WORD WAS SPREAD ESPECIALLY TO LOCAL BUSINESSES ABOUT THEIR RIGHTS UNDER THIS ICE OCCUPATION

994
05:56:15.483 --> 05:56:32.600
WAS JUST LOTS OF BOOTS ON THE GROUND FROM NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS, BUSINESS ASSOCIATIONS, AND THEN COMMUNITY MEMBERS THAT DECIDED TO CANVAS. I THINK IT WOULD BE REALLY HELPFUL IF THERE WERE PRINTED MATERIALS IN DIFFERENT LANGUAGES THAT WE COULD DISTRIBUTE TO

995
05:56:32.600 --> 05:56:48.983
NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS, BUSINESS ASSOCIATIONS, SO THEY CAN JUST GO DOOR-TO-DOOR AND BU ACCESSIBLE BY LANGUAGE, SPANISH, SOMALI, HMON AROMO. THAT WOULD BE REALLY, REALLY HELPFUL. I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF ENERGY TO

996
05:56:48.983 --> 05:57:05.233
DO THAT WORK SO THEY CAN HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO KNOW YOU CAN APPLY FOR THIS FEE-FREE EVENT OR IF THEY'RE A CULTURAL MARKET, LETTING THEM KNOW OR GETTING THEM INFORMATION AHEAD OF TIME THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE LICENSE FEE FGIVENESS AND WHAT THAT

997
05:57:05.233 --> 05:57:20.250
MEANS FOR THEIR BUSINESS. I THINK THAT WOULD BE A GREAT WAY FOR US TO MEET BUSINESSES WHERE THEY'RE AT. AND THEN ALSO TAKE SOME WORK OFF OF CITY STAFF FROM DOING T BOOTS ON THE GROUND WORK. I THINK THERE'S PARTNERSHIPS THAT ARE THERE. THAT WOULD BE HAPPY TO DO THAT. SO THAT'S ONE OF MY REQUESTS TO YOU.

998
05:57:20.250 --> 05:57:37.800
>> WE WILL TAKE THAT ADVICE. ABSOLUTELY. >> YEAH. AND THEN NCR HAS DONE A REALLY GREAT JOB. DROPPING OFF THOSE FLYERS IN OUR MAILBOXES. LIKE THE KNOW YOUR RIGHTS FLYERS. WE'VE TAKEN THEM AND

999
05:57:37.800 --> 05:57:52.416
DISTRIBUTED THEM AT COMMUNITY EVENTS AS COUNCIL MEMBERS. COMMUNICATING THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA AND OUR NEWSLETTER. I'M NOT SURE HOW MUCH TIME I HAVE BECAUSE MY TIMER IS NOT ACCURATE. SO I DON'T WANT TO GO

1000
05:57:52.416 --> 05:58:10.666
OVER MY SPEAKING TIME. I'LL JUST CLOSE ON THIS QUESTION OR THIS COMMENT AS WELL. AND I THINK I WILL SEND SOME COMMENTS VIA EMAIL ASWELL. I REALLY WANT US

1001
05:58:10.666 --> 05:58:26.516
TO THINK ABOUT THE MUSIC AND VENUE ACTIVATION. I THINK IT'S GREAT THAT IT'S GOING TO EAT STREET. AND WE'RE THINKING ABOUT THAT CORRIDOR IN SPECIFIC. BUT IT MAKES ME WONDER ABOUT LAKE STREET. IT MAKES ME WONDER ABOUT CENTRAL AVENUE THAT WAS REALLY

1002
05:58:26.516 --> 05:58:43.633
HIT HARD. MINNEHAHA AVENUE. I THINK AS A CITY WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE NICOLLET MALL A VERY ACTIVE PLACE. BUT NICOLLET MALL HAD A BIG ST. PAICK'S DAY PARADE.

1003
05:58:43.633 --> 05:58:58.483
THERE'S ALL KINDS OF THINGS HAPPENING AT NICOLLET MALL. IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE A COOL EVENT IN A CORRIDOR THAT OFTEN DOESN'T HAVE IT AND

1004
05:58:58.483 --> 05:59:14.466
OFTENTIMES NEEDS TO BE INCLUDED. ARE THERE ANY OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS? OKAY. WITH THAT, I WILL ASK THE CLERK TO FILE THE LEGISLATIVE DIRECTIVE PRESENTATION, AND THEN I'LL ASK

1005
05:59:14.466 --> 05:59:33.550
THE CLERK TO CALL THE ROLL ON THE SMALL BUSINESS RESILIENCY FUND. >> COUNCIL MEMBER PAYNE. >> AYE. >> WONSLEY. >> AYE. >> RAINVILLE. >> AYE. >> VETAW. >> AYE. >> WARREN. >> AYE. >> OSMAN. OSMAN IS ABSENT. SHAFFER. >> AYE.

1006
05:59:33.550 --> 05:59:46.666
>> STEVENSON. >> AYE. >> CHAVEZ. >> AYE. >> WHITING IS ABSENT. PALMISANO. >> AYE. >> VICE CHAIRCHUGHTAI. >> AYE. >> CHAIR CHOWDHURY. >> AYE. >> WE HAVE 11 AYES

1007
05:59:46.666 --> 06:00:05.383
>> THAT MOTION CARRIES. NEXT IS ITEM 75 WHICH IS A REPORT RELATED TO PUBLIC SAFETY TRAINING FACILITIES. I'LL WELCOME DWIGHT MILLER FROM POLICY AND RESEARCH TO PRESENT

1008
06:00:05.383 --> 06:00:24.600
ON THIS ITEM. WELCOME. >> HAD TO LOWERHE MIC THERE FOR A SECOND. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, CHAIR CHOWDHURY. MY NAME O

1009
06:00:24.600 --> 06:00:38.166
TALK ABOUT THE TRAINING FACILITY. I THINK THE COUNCIL PASSED THIS DAYS AGO. SO IT'S BEEN A LOT OF LEARNING. SO I'M EXCITED TO BE ABLE TO SHARE WHAT WE HAVE LEARNED IN OUR RESEARCH ACROSS WHAT'S HAPPENING ACROSS BOTH IN THE METRO AND ALSO IN

1010
06:00:38.166 --> 06:00:56.350
THE COUNTRY. JUDGEST TO BE ABLE GROUND US IN OUR WHY, WHY WE'RE HERE. THERE WE GO. ON MARCH 6TH, THE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE DIRECTED THE LEGISLATIVE DEPARTMENT TO UNDERTAKE THIS

1011
06:00:56.350 --> 06:01:12.133
KIND OF RESEARCH. REALLY FOCUSING ON LANDSCAPE ANALYSIS, COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS TO LOOK INTO BEST PRACTICES FOR TRAINING PUBLIC SAFETY TRAINING FACILITIES AND LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS. ANALYSIS ON THE FACILITIES THAT ALLOW FOR

1012
06:01:12.133 --> 06:01:30.900
TRAINING TO OCCUR IN COMPARISON TO MINNEAPOLIS. KIND OF COMPARING WHAT WE HAVE TO WHAT'S OUT THERE IN THE NATION. A LITTLE BIT REPORTING ON THE COSTS AND ESTABLISHING HOW MUCH IT COSTS TO ESTABLISH THESE THINGS AND ALSO SOME OF THE THINGS WITH OPERATION COSTS. AND

1013
06:01:30.900 --> 06:01:47.883
ALONG WITH THAT, JUST SOME SENSE OF WHAT ARE THE NEGATIVE IMPACTS OF THE STATUS QUO, OF SORT OF KEEPING THINGS THE WAY THEY ARE. I UNDERSTAND THIS BRIEF IS NOT HAPPENING IN A VACUUM. I UNDERSTAND THERE'S A LOT OF

1014
06:01:47.883 --> 06:02:04.100
DISCUSSION ON NEW COMMUNITY SAFETY WELLNESS FACILITY. HOWEVER, THE SCOPE OF THIS BRIEF PRESENTATION IS FOCUSED JUST ON WHAT WE HAVE CURNTLY IN MINNEAPOLIS IN COMPARISON TO OTHER CITIES AND OTHER MUNICIPALITIES IN METRO AND

1015
06:02:04.100 --> 06:02:19.250
NATION. I WANT TO GIVE A SPECIAL THANKS TO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, POLICE DEPARTMENT, MINNEAPOLIS 911, THE CITY ATTORNEYS WHO HELP ME GET A SENSE OF WHERE WE ARE IN THE CITY. AND A SPECIAL SHOUT OUT TO

1016
06:02:19.250 --> 06:02:35.000
SIOUX FALLS POLICE DERTMENT, CITY OF LAKE FIELD AND THE AUSTIN POLICE DEPARTMENT WHO GAVE ME CORRESPONDENCE THROUGH VIDEO OR EMAIL. PEOPLE WERE EXCITED TOEAR ABOUT A, HOW TO

1017
06:02:35.000 --> 06:02:53.450
HELP WHAT WE WERE THINKING, AND ALSO, THEY WERE EXCITED TO SHARE WHAT WE ARE DOING FOR BEST PRACTICES. ALWAYS EXCITING TO DO THIS WORK HERE IN THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS. SO FIRST NATIONAL BEST PRACTICES. SO ONE THING THAT WAS SORT OF SURPRISING FOR

1018
06:02:53.450 --> 06:03:10.866
ME IS THAT THERE ISN'T JUST SAY HERE ARE THE STANDARDS, BEST PRACTICES, GOOGLE IT. A LOT OF IT IS FROM PRAITIONERS CONNECTING AND CONFERENCING ONE ANOTHER AND DEVELOPING THE PRACTICES AS THEY'RE GOING AS THEY ADAPT TO WHAT'S HAPPENING

1019
06:03:10.866 --> 06:03:27.016
IN THE FIELD IN THEIR CITY. I WAS ABLE TO SUSS OUT SOME OF THE FOUR BIG NATIONAL BEST PRACTICES THAT I KIND OF SAW CONSISTENTLY THROUGHOUT. THE FIRST IS HAVING PURPOSE-BUILT SCENARIO-BASED TRAINING ENVIRONMENT. SO HAVING ENVIRONMENTS THAT WERE DESIGNED

1020
06:03:27.016 --> 06:03:44.466
AND CREATED IN ORD TO HAVE PUBLIC SAFETY TRAINING WHETHER THAT WAS FIRE, WHETHER THAT WAS EMS, OR WHETHER THAT WAS POLICE DEPARTMENTS. SO JT HAVING THESE VERY SPECIFIC TYPES OF TRAINING ENVIRONMENTS TO BE ABLE

1021
06:03:44.466 --> 06:04:00.683
TO REPLICATE AREAS IN URBAN SETTINGS. THAT WAS SOMETHING I FOUND THROUGH RESEARCH. THE OTHER THING WAS THE CO-LOCATION. THE IDEA OF HAVING FIRE, EMS, 911 DISPATCH AND POLICE DEPARTMENTS ALL TRAINING TOGETHER IN THE SAME AREA, AND ALSO BEING ABLE TO HAVE THE SAME

1022
06:04:00.683 --> 06:04:17.866
AREA TO REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF FRICTION FOR LOGISTICS. THAT WAS ANOTHER THING I SAW THAT WAS A VERY COMMON PRACTICE ALONG WITH INTEGRATED SIMULATION THROUGHOUT ALL OF THIS WAS THIS SENSE OF WE NEED TO HAVE SOME TYPE OF VIRTUAL SIMULATION TO BE ABLE TO HAVE -- GIVE FOLKS, ESPECIALLY

1023
06:04:17.866 --> 06:04:34.850
THOSE WHO HAVE LIVES IN THEIR HANDS, AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO PRACTICE BEING ABLE TO ADDRESS ACTIVITIES AND ADDRESS DIFFERENT SCENARIOS IN AN EFFECTIVE MANNER AND SAFE MANNER. AND THENLSO HAVING THE SUFFICIENT SCALE. THROUGHOUT ALL

1024
06:04:34.850 --> 06:04:50.433
OF THE FOLKS I SPOKE WITH DIRECTLY A LOT OF THEM IT WAS EITHER REGRET THAT IT WASN'T BIG ENOUGH WHAT THEY'D DEVELOPED OR WE DIDN'T QUITE THINK ABOUT OUR SPACE OF WHAT WE ACTUALLY NEEDED

1025
06:04:50.433 --> 06:05:06.850
OR WE ACTUALLY BOUGHT A LOT OF SPACE IN ORDER TO BE AABLE TO EXPAND. IT'S REALLY NOT ABOUT THE SPACE, IT'S MAKING SURE THE SPACE IS ABLE TO DO ALL THE THINGS YOU WANT IT TO DO IN ORDER TO HAVE IT AT SUFFICIENT

1026
06:05:06.850 --> 06:05:24.766
SCALE. SO I JAUS WANT TO GIVE SOME VARIABLES.S I WAS READING ABOUT THESE NATIONAL BEST PRACTICES, WHAT DOES THIS LOOK LIKE. SOME OF THESE REGIONAL FACIL FACILITIES, WITH THE REALITY BASED TRAINING, THEY'RE USING

1027
06:05:24.766 --> 06:05:45.950
THAT TO MARKET BECAUSE THEY HAVE PARTNERSHIPS WITH OTHER JURISDICTION AGENCIES. VIRTUAL REALITY SIMULATORS. BUT WHEN WE THINK ABOUT V-SIMULATORS, BEST

1028
06:05:45.950 --> 06:06:02.650
PRACTICES OF SIMULATION IS THESE 350 DEGREE SIMULATIONS WHERE YOU HAVE MULTIPLE POLICE OFFICERS GO INTO THE SPACE TO RUN DRILLS TOGETHER INSTEAD OF IT BEING A SOLO THING. ALONG WITH THIS, I WANTED TO EMPHASIZE -- SOMETHING

1029
06:06:02.650 --> 06:06:19.800
I FORGOT TO MENTION IN THE LAST SLIDE. REASON WHY COORDINATION BETWEEN DIFFERENT AGENCIES IS IMPORTANT IS TO BE ABLE TO DEAL WITH MAJOR EVENTS. SOMETHING THAT CAME UP INTERNALLY WITH FOLKS WAS THE I35W BRIDGE THAT COLLAPSED AND HOW IMPORTANT IT WAS TO BE ABLE TO HAVE

1030
06:06:19.800 --> 06:06:36.000
COORDINATION. ALONG WITH THAT JUST BEING ABLE TO TRUST FOLKS AND KNOW THAT WE ARE SPEAKING THE SAME LANGUAGE AND WE MIGHT BE FAMILIAR WITH ONE ANOTHER AND BE ABLE TO SHAVE SECONDS THAT IS LIFE SAVING SECONDS. REALITY BASED TRAINING. ONE THING YOU

1031
06:06:36.000 --> 06:06:53.600
WILLEAR JUST IN THE FIELD IS THE IDEA OF HAVING MOVEABLE WALLS FOR POLICE OR THE THINGS LIKE HAVING BURN BUILDIS. BURN TOWER IS A REALITY-BASED TRAINING FOR FIRE. SO JUST BEING ABLE TO HAVE THAT IN ORDER TO

1032
06:06:53.600 --> 06:07:09.783
HAVE FOLKS WORK IN ENVIRONMENT AND IMMERSE THEMSELVES IN SITUATIONS AS FAR AS NATIONAL BEST PRACTICES. ALL RIGHT. SO JUST WANT TO GET A LITTLE BIT OF WHERE WE ARE AT CURRENTLY AS A CITY. ONE OF THE TRENDS OR

1033
06:07:09.783 --> 06:07:26.000
TAKEAWAY IS A LOTF OUR TRAINING FACILITIES ARE DISPERSED THROUGHOUT MINNEAPOLIS. THERE'S NO ONE-STOP SH. WE'RE KIND OF MOVING THROUGH THE CITY THROUGHOUT THIS PART OF THE PRESENTATION. FIRST, I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT THE

1034
06:07:26.000 --> 06:07:43.316
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS TRAINING FACILITY, WHICH IS MINNEAPOLIS FIRE MAIN TRAINING FACILITY. THIS IS LOCATED IN MINNEAPOLIS/FRIDLEY. IT'S ALWAYS RIGHT THERE ON THE BORDER OF WHAT'S HAPPENING UP THERE IN NORTH MINNEAPOLIS. BUT THIS FACILITY HAS A BURN TOWER. IT

1035
06:07:43.316 --> 06:08:01.100
HAS CLASSROOMS. AND ALSO IS WHERE THEY HOST -- MFD HOLDS THE FIRE CADET. EMERGENCY OPERATIONS WITHIN EOTF. SPEAKING TO MFD, THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT IT

1036
06:08:01.100 --> 06:08:16.850
CREATES A LOT OF JUST SPACE PROBLEMS WHERE THEY HAVE TO ACTUALLY OUTSOURCE PART OF THEIR SPACE. PART OF THEIR TRAINING FROM THE EOTF WHEREAS MOST OF THEIR TRAINING HAPPENS TO STATION 21, WHICH IS NEAR CLOSER TO SOUTH MINNEAPOLIS. IT'S

1037
06:08:16.850 --> 06:08:31.550
ACTUALLY IN THE BASEMENT IS WHERE THE TRAINING IS HAPPENING FOR IN-SERVICE TRAINING AND PARTULAR TO SOME OF THE STUFF THAT'S BEEN HAPPENING FOR MFD, THE EMS PATHWAYS PROGRAM. THAT IS A YEAR AGO I HAD A

1038
06:08:31.550 --> 06:08:49.183
PRESENTATION ABOUT DIVERSIFYING THE FIREFIGHTER RECRUITMENT. AND THE PATHWAY WAS ONE OF THOSE AREAS WHERE REACHING OUT, CREATING PATHWAYS TO BECOME EMSY

1039
06:08:49.183 --> 06:09:05.883
THE FIRE FIGHTING SERVICE EMPLOYEES. ALONG WITH THAT, THERE'S SOME SHARE WITHIN MPD. MOSTLY JUST WITH PRACTICING WITH DRONES. THAT IS SORT OF HOW THAT EO FACILITY. MINNEAPOLIS 911 HAS TRAINING HAPPENING WHIN

1040
06:09:05.883 --> 06:09:23.216
CLOSE BY TO THEIR MAIN OFFICE. BUT REALLY ONE OF THE THINGS I WANTED TO TALK TO THEM ABOUT WHENEVER I WAS DOING RESEARCH WAS JUST HOW DO YOU CONNECT AND TRAIN WITH MFD AND MPD? BECAUSE A LOT OF THE CONRSATIONS WITH FOLKS EXTERNALLY WAS LIKE, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE OUR

1041
06:09:23.216 --> 06:09:40.150
DISPATCHERS BECAUSE THEY'RE COMMUNICATING INFORMATION TO THE FIRE AND THE POLICE DEPARTMENT THAT HELPS SAVE LIVES. AND IN TALKING WITH MINNEAPOLIS 911, ONE OF THE THINGS THEY SAW WITH THE LIMITATION WAS THEY HAVE -- EVERYBODY ON THE COUNCIL HAVE

1042
06:09:40.150 --> 06:09:55.883
SEEN THE 911 FACILITIES WHERE YOU HAVE THE MULTIPLE SCREENS AND THEY'RE REALLY JUST GOING THROUGH THE CALLS. WHENEVER THEY GO OUT -- THEY ARE GOING OUT OF THE 911 DISPATCH CENTER AND GOING OUT INTO THE FIELD TO DO TRAINING WITH MFD AND MPD. THEY

1043
06:09:55.883 --> 06:10:12.650
HAVE RADIO AND THEY HAVE A LAPTOP. WHICH FOR A PINCH MIGHT DO FINE. BUT DOESN'T REALLY ALIGN WITH THE REALITY-BASED TRAINING OF BEING ABLE TO USE THE ACTUAL MONITORING THAT MONITORS THAT YOU ACTUALLY HAVE IN ORDER TO BE ABLE IT DO THE DISPATCH CALLS. ONCE AGAIN, NOT

1044
06:10:12.650 --> 06:10:29.116
REALLY ALIGNED WITH SOME OF THE BEST PRACTICES WITH EMERGENCY TRAINING. SO FOR MINNEAPOLIS POLICE DEPARTMENT, THEIR CURRENT

1045
06:10:29.116 --> 06:10:47.583
FACILITY IS CENTRALIZED IN HAMILTON SPECIAL OPERATIONS CENTER OR COLLOQUIALLY CALLED THE SOC. THAT'S BEEN THE CASE SINCE 2006. THIS IS A 51,000 SQUARE FOOT, 4.5 ACRES IN AN OLD

1046
06:10:47.583 --> 06:11:05.650
ELEMENTARY SCHOOLN NORTH MINNEAPOLIS IN THE CAMDEN WEBER NEIGHBORHOOD. IT IS, AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE SLIDES, VERY HEAVILY RESIDENTIAL. AND THAT IS LEASED FROM MINNEAPOLIS PUBLIC SCHOOLS FOR AROUND $200,000 A YEAR. ALONG WITH THAT, THIS

1047
06:11:05.650 --> 06:11:21.783
FACILITY, THERE ARE SOME MAT ROOMS. BUT REALLY THROUGH AN INDEPENDENT ANALYSIS FROM THE WALD ARCHITECTS AND ENGINEERS IN 2023, THAT WAS RELEASED IN 2024, THIS FACILITY FACES SEVERAL

1048
06:11:21.783 --> 06:11:38.216
CONSTRAINTS. A THAT CAME FROM MPD, BUT ALSO FROM THIS INDEPENDENT ANALYS AND ASSESSMENT FACILITY ASSESSMENT THAT WAS PART OF THE CONSENT DECREE A SETTLEMENT PROCESS THAT HAPPENED IN THE FIRST PART

1049
06:11:38.216 --> 06:11:53.983
OF THIS DECADE. WHAT THE ASSESSMENT IDENTIED WAS LIMITED OUTDOOR SPACE. LIMITED ACCESS TO POTABLE WATER. A LONG-TERM SOLUTION AND ACCESS

1050
06:11:53.983 --> 06:12:11.150
WALD ACTUALLY, AND I QUOTE, SAID BUILD A NEW DEDICATED ONE-STOP SHOP FOR ALL TRAINING ACTIVITY. THIS IS ALL HAPPENING GEN THAT THIS FACILITY COSTS AROUND $1 MILLION A YEAR JUST ABOVE

1051
06:12:11.150 --> 06:12:26.783
$1 MILLION A YEAR TO LEASE AND ALSO TO OPERATE. IN 2026 TO 2026 IT'S BEEN AROUND $20 MILLION THAT THE CITY HAS SPENT ON THIS FACILITY. AND BASED ON JUST THE INDEPENDENT ASSESSMENT IS NOT NECESSARILALIGNED WITH THE

1052
06:12:26.783 --> 06:12:43.883
NATIONAL BEST PRACTICES O REALITY-BASED SITUATIONS AND PURPOSE-BUILT FACILITY. NOW LOOKING AT COMPARABLE FACILITIES, AS FAR AS THE LANDSCAPE ANALYSIS, I WOULD SAY

1053
06:12:43.883 --> 06:13:00.883
THAT PART OF THIS WAS GETTING NATIONAL AND REACHING OUT TO NATIONAL FOLKS. IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO GET SOMEBODY NATIONALLY ON THE PHONE TO BE ABLE TO TALK TO THEM JUST BECAUSE OF THE QUICK TURNAROUND. BUT WE WERE ABLE TO GET GOOD

1054
06:13:00.883 --> 06:13:16.650
LOCAL EXAMPLES. AND YOU'LL SEE WHY. PROBABLY PROVIDES A BETTER ONE-TO-ONE FOR US. ONE THING I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT IS NONE OF THESE FACILITIES ARE AS CLOSE TO RESIDENTIAL AREAS AS THE SOC IS CURRENTLY. AND ALONG WITH THAT,

1055
06:13:16.650 --> 06:13:33.183
TWO OF THEM ACTUALLY HAVE A SURROUNDED BY GREEN SPACE. YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THAT IN THE NEXT FEW SLIDES. FIRST, THE NORTH METRO PUBLIC SAFETY TRAINS LOCATED IN MAPLE GROVE. IS A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE CITY THE

1056
06:13:33.183 --> 06:13:51.483
BROOKLYN PARK, MAPLE GROVE, AND PLYMOUTH. THESE CITIES COVER THE MAJORITY OF THE COSTS. ALONG WITH THAT, THEY AREN'T THE ONLY AGENCIES THAT USE THIS. THEY ACTUALLY HAVE SEVERAL JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT FOR SMALL AGENCIES WHO WANT TO USE THE

1057
06:13:51.483 --> 06:14:07.516
FACILITY. THAT IS AROUND $763 PER OFFICER PER YEAR TO BE ABLE TO USE THIS FACILITY. AND THAT IS FOR ACCESS TO FOUR HOURS OF USES FOR THE FACILITY FOR THOSE OFFICERS. THIS NORTH METRO HAS

1058
06:14:07.516 --> 06:14:22.750
BEEN AROUND FOR A BI BUT AS FAR AS COMPARATIVE NUMBERS FOR THE COST, IN 2023,THEY WENT TO A 40,000 SQUARE FOOT EXPANSION THAT W AROUND $17.5 MILLION. $3.5 MILLION OF THAT CAME FROM

1059
06:14:22.750 --> 06:14:40.750
THE STATE. EQUIPPED WITH FLEXIBLE CLASSROOMS. HAS THE ABILITY TO HAVE FIRE AND ARM RANGES THAT YOU CAN PUT VEHICLES IN SO YOU CAN PRACTICE TACTICAL. I WOULD SAY ACTIVITIES WITH VEHICLES AROUND. IT ALSO HAS A

1060
06:14:40.750 --> 06:14:57.150
DEDICATED MAT ROOM AND REALITY-BASED TRAINING ENVIRONMENT. AS FAR AS THE ASSROOMS, THE SOC HAS TWO CLASSROOMS. WHEN I SAY CLASSROOMS AT THESE FACILITIES, A LOT OF TIMES THEY HAVE

1061
06:14:57.150 --> 06:15:13.883
CAPACITY OF 80 TO 100 OFFICERS. SOC BASED ON CONVERSATIONS I'VE HAD WITH MPD. SO THAT IS THE NORTH METRO PUBLIC SAFETY TRAINING FACILITY. I WILL SAY THAT THEY WERE VERY EXCITED ABOUT HEARING WHAT MINNEAPOLIS WAS DOING. AND WERE VERY OPEN

1062
06:15:13.883 --> 06:15:28.450
ABOUT TAKING ON TOURS, BEING ABLE TO SAY, HE LET'S SHOW YOU AROUND TO SEE EXACTLY WHAT WE DO. SO THERE WAS AOT OF ENTHUSIASM FROM THE NORTH METRO PUBLIC SAFETY TRAINING FACILITY. NEXT IS THE HERO TRAINING

1063
06:15:28.450 --> 06:15:44.700
FACILITY, WHICH IS IN COTTAGE GROVE, MINNESOTA. 48,000 SQUARE FOOT FACILITY IS ON NINE AER
C OF LAND. YOU CAN SEE THE PICTURE RIGHT THERE. NOT REALLY NEAR RESIDENTIAL SPACES. THIS

1064
06:15:44.700 --> 06:16:01.300
BUILDING WAS OPENED IN 2020. $11.5 MILLION CAME FROM THE STATE. AND $10 MILLION CAME FROM WOODBURY AND COTTAGE GROVE. IT HAS SIMILAR FEATURES TO THE NORTH METRO FACILITY. NORTH

1065
06:16:01.300 --> 06:16:18.433
METRO IS FIT FOR FIRE BUT THERE'S NO FIGHT DEPARTMENTS USING IT. THAT'S SOMETHIN THEY WANT TO CHANGE. THE HERO HAS INDOOR REALITY SIMULATIONS WHERE YOU CAN LADDER NOT ONLY TO THE FIRST LEVEL BUT SECOND LEVEL. IT

1066
06:16:18.433 --> 06:16:34.733
HAS OUTDOOR BALCONIES AND STAIRS. JUST REALLY TRYING TO GET INTO THE REALITY-BASED TRAINING THAT IS WE'VE SEEN AS BEST PRACTICES. THERE ARE 60 PUBLIC SAFETY AGENCY PARTNER WITH THE HERO CENTER. I DO WANT

1067
06:16:34.733 --> 06:16:50.733
TO SAY THAT IN DISCUSSIONS WITH THE HERO CENTER BECAUSE OF THEIR MOTTO IS REALLY TRYING TO GET AGENCIES TO UTILIZE THEM. I ASKED ABOUT CAPACITY AND THEY SAID THERE IS CAPACITY TO UTILIZE THEIR FACILITIESES FOR FIRE AND FOR POLICE DEPARTMENT. IT DEPENDS ON WHAT THEY CHARGE

1068
06:16:50.733 --> 06:17:06.966
OR WHAT KIND OF PARTNERSHIP IT WILL BE WILL DEPEND ON NEGOTIATIONS. BUT THERE WAS SPACE AND CAPACITY WITHIN THE HERO CENTER. AND THEN AS FAR AS OUR KIND OF NATIONAL EXAMPLE, WHICH I KNOW REGIONAL IS REGION

1069
06:17:06.966 --> 06:17:22.933
BECAUSE IT'S RIGHT THERE IN SOUTH DAKOTA. IT WAS A NATIONAL EXAMPLE THAT I WAS ABLE TO SPEAK WITH. I HAD A GREAT CONVERSATION WITH SIOUX FALLS POLICE DEPARTMENT. THIS IS A VERY LARGE-SCALED CAMPUS. IT'S PURPOSE-BUILT. IT IS A

1070
06:17:22.933 --> 06:17:38.233
$55 MILLION FACILITY ON 42 ACRES OF LAND. ACTUALLY, THE CITY OF SIOUX FALLS BOUGHT 100 ACRES OF LAND IN ORDER TO GROW AND EXPAND AS THE CITY GROWS AND EXPAND. IT WAS DESIGNED TO REALLY REPLACE

1071
06:17:38.233 --> 06:17:54.866
THIS FRAGMENTED SYSTEM THAT THEY HAD. AND IT'S ALSO SORT OF PUSHED TO THE NORTHEAST PORTION OF SIOUX FALLS. IT HAS ALL THE THINGS I MENTIONED BEFORE ALONG WITH A DRIVING -- THE NICKNAME IS A RACE TRACK FROM THE POLICE DEPTD DEPARTMENT. THEY DON'T

1072
06:17:54.866 --> 06:18:11.316
LIKE CALLING IT A RACE TRACK. BASICALLY A PLACE FOR TACTICAL DRIVING. IT HAS A MINI SET OF SIOUX FALLS DOWNTOWN. SO IT ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE THE BUILDINGS AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD. PEOPLE CAN GO THROUGH AND TRAIN. AND ALSO, IT HOSTS THE DATA

1073
06:18:11.316 --> 06:18:26.733
CENTERS FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, FOR THE EMERGENCY SERVICES, AND ALSO CO-LOCATES FIRE, POLICE, EMS AND ALSO THE DISPATCH. RECRUIT FROM FIRE AND POLICE ALSO ARE IN THE SAME FACILITY. SO A LOT OF TIMES THEY'RE CO-TRAINING FROM THE

1074
06:18:26.733 --> 06:18:41.100
JUMP WHEN THEY'RE TRAINING AS CADETS. AND ALONG WITH THAT, I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THIS FACILITY RIGHT HERE IS ACTUALLY KIND OF PART OF A BROADER NATIONAL TREND THAT I SAW. I WASN'T ABLE TO SPEAK WITH SOME OF THESE FOLKS.

1075
06:18:41.100 --> 06:19:00.200
BUT I WAS ABLE TO PROFILE THAT. THIS WAS 42 ACRES. AUSTIN HAD A 48-ACRE FACILITY. ATLANTA'S FACILITY WAS 85-ACRES. PITTSBURGH IS TRYING TO BUY AND ACQUIRE 168 ACRES OF AN OLD VA

1076
06:19:00.200 --> 06:19:16.483
HOSPITAL. THE TREND SEEMS TO BE MAKING THESE VERY, VERY LARGE FACILITIES. THE REASON WHY YOU MIGHT -- I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT I PREFACE BY SAYING I AM NOT SAYING BASED ON NATIONAL PRACTICES THAT THAT IS A MUST.

1077
06:19:16.483 --> 06:19:31.700
BECAUSE WE SEE HERE WITH THE HERO CENTER AND ALSO WITH THE NEW YORK METRO CENTER AND OTHER REGIONAL FACILITIES THAT YOU CAN GET SIMILAR, CHECK OFF THE SAME BOXES WITH A MUCH SMALLER FOOTPRINT. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I EMPHASIZED THAT BEFORE

1078
06:19:31.700 --> 06:19:46.533
YOU THINK I'M SAYING WE SHOULD HAVE 55 ACRES OUT IN SIOUX FALLS. AS FAR AS ALL OF THESE AREAS OF NSIDERATION, I HAVE FOUR HERE BUT I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THREE OF THEM. FIRST AREAS TO CONSIDER WHEN WE'RE

1079
06:19:46.533 --> 06:20:03.166
THINKING ABOUT TRAINING FACIL FACILITIES, OUR OWNS COMPARED TO OTHERS. ARE WE ABLE TO PROVIDE TRAINING THAT IS GOING TO MIMIC WHAT FOLKS ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO SEE OUT ON THE FIELD AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE. UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE'S NOT EVER 100% CHANCE OF

1080
06:20:03.166 --> 06:20:19.550
EVER BEING PREPARED FOR AN EMERGENCY. THE SECOND THING I WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT IS THE CO-LOCATION. HOW ARE WE AS A CITY VIEW CO-LOCATION? HOW DO WE MAYBE GET MORE CO-LOCATION AND FACILITIES AND MAKE SURE FIRE,

1081
06:20:19.550 --> 06:20:36.233
POLI, DISPATCH, ALL OF OUR SERVICES ARE REALLY ABLE TO COME TOGETHER AND TRAIN FOR MAJOR EVENTS THAT OCCUR. AND ALSO JUST WHENEVER WE'RE THINKING ABOUT COSTS, I THINK THERE'S A SENSE WHENEVER THINKING ABOUT MAKING CHANGE, THERE'S A COST TO THE

1082
06:20:36.233 --> 06:20:52.550
CHANGE. BUT THERE'S ALSO A COST TO THE STATUS QUO. BEING ABLE TO WEIGH IN THE COST OF STATUS QUO WHICH CURRENTLY FOR US IS ABOUT $1 MILLION FOR HAMILTON'S SOC TO BEING BETTER IN LINE WITH BEST PRACTICES.

1083
06:20:52.550 --> 06:21:10.233
THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION I'M HERE FOR QUESTIONS. >> THANK YOU. I'M SO SORRY. THANK YOU, DWIGHT, FOR THAT PRESENTATION. THIS IS SOMETHING

1084
06:21:10.233 --> 06:21:27.616
WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR AS A COUNCIL FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS. AND WE'RE SO LUCKY HERE ON THE MINNEAPOLIS CITY COUNCIL THAT WE HAVE THE LRO TEAM THAT CAN BE A PART OF PULLING TOGETHER INFORMATION AND HELPING INFORM THE COUNCIL IN THE MANNER THAT

1085
06:21:27.616 --> 06:21:43.800
IS INDEPENDENTND FAR MORE TIMELY. TO HELP INFORM OUR DECISIONS. COLLEAGUES, ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS OR IS THERE DISCUSSION? I WILL FIRST RECOGNIZE COUNCIL MEMBER WHITING, FOLLOWED BY COUNCIL MEMBER PALMISANO. >> THANK YOU, VICE CHAIR

1086
06:21:43.800 --> 06:22:00.333
CHUGHTAI. I WAS JUST GOING TO NOTE THAT I WOULD LIKE TO BE NOTED IN THE AFFIRMATIVE FOR ITEM 70, THE SMALL BUSINESSES. >> IS THERE ANY OBJECTION TO COUNCIL MEMBER WHITING BEING NOTED IN THE AFFIRMATIVE ON THAT ITEM? I'M NOT SEEING ANY. CLERKS

1087
06:22:00.333 --> 06:22:14.866
WILL NOTE THAT. WAS THAT ALL? >> YEAH. >> OH, AWESOME. COUNCIL MEMBER PALMISANO FOLLOWED BY COUNCIL MEMBER RAINVILLE. >> THANK YOU, MR. MILLER. SORRY WE LEFT YOU WITHOUT SOMEONE IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT UP HERE FOR A

1088
06:22:14.866 --> 06:22:33.133
LITTLE BIT. ONE QUESTION I HAVE AS YOU RESEARCHED THESE FACILITIES, THANK YOU FOR SPECCING THIS UP SO QUICKLY FOR US. ARE YOU AWARE OF HOW HEAVILY UTILIZED THESE FACILITIES THAT YOU RESEARCHED ARE BECAUSE MOST

1089
06:22:33.133 --> 06:22:49.700
OF THEM ARE USED BY NUMEROUS AGENCIES. DO THEY HAVE THE ABILITY TO TAKE ON MORE AGENCIES? I ASK BECAUSE LIKE YOU, A LONG TIME AGO, THOUGH, THE HERO CENTER MIGHT HAVE HOURS. BUT HOW MANY HOURS DO

1090
06:22:49.700 --> 06:23:06.000
THESE FACILITIES AND OTHERS HAVE? AND I ASK BECAUSE THERE IS A COUNTER ARGUMENT THAT THE FIRE DEPARTMENT OR POLICE DEPARTMENT COULD JUST USE OTHER FACILITIES ELSEWHERE AROUND. BUT I CAN'T IMAGINE THERE'S SPACE FOR THE

1091
06:23:06.000 --> 06:23:22.566
TOTALITY OF NEEDS IN MINNEAPOLIS SINCE WE ARE STILL THE BIGGEST DEPARTMENT IN THE STATE FROM A POLICE STANDPOINT. >> THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION. I WAS NOT ABLE TO HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH THE HERO CENTER. WE CORRESPONDED VIA

1092
06:23:22.566 --> 06:23:38.800
EMAIL SO THAT MIGHT TAKE MORE FOLLOW UP. WITH THE OTHER REGIONAL FOLK, I ACTUALLY SPOKE CANDIDLY WITH NORTH METRO AND SAID WHAT IF MINNEAPOLIS WANTED TO UTILIZE THIS. HE WAS VERY CLEAR SAYING WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE YOU, WE WOULD HAVE TO

1093
06:23:38.800 --> 06:23:53.133
REARRANGE THINGS AROUND TO ACCOMMODATE YOU. THIS IS GOING CLOSER TO SPECULATION THAN, SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE I PREFACE IT WITH THAT, THAT IF IT WAS TO BE OUTSOURCED, IT PROBABLY WOULDN'T BE OUTSOURCED TO ONE FACILITY.

1094
06:23:53.133 --> 06:24:12.450
YOU'D HAVE TO INCLUDE SOUTH METRO, HERO CENTER. THERE'S A KIND OF NEW EAST METRO CENTER BEING DEVELOPED. CENTER IN LAKEVILLE THAT'S GOING TO OPEN IN 2026. IT WOULD HAVE TO BE SORT OF PIECEMEALED TOGETHER. I

1095
06:24:12.450 --> 06:24:28.416
WOULD SAY THAT ACTUALLY RISKS, WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT DISPERSION, THAT'S INCREASING DISPERSION TO OUTSIDE THE CITY. DOES THAT HELP? >> YES. THANK YOU. BECAUSE THE NEEDS OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, WHILE THE NUMBERS OF OFFICERS HAVE DECREASED QUITE

1096
06:24:28.416 --> 06:24:43.950
SUBSTANTIALLY FROM THE FIRST TIME I STARTED LOOKING AT THIS, THE NUMBER OF HOURS IN SERVICE TRAINING HAS GROWN A LOT. AND I THINK THAT COMMANDER BROWN PROBABLY HAS A GOOD SEN OF THE TOTAL NUMBER OF HOURS THAT WE NEED FOR OUR TRAINING FOR

1097
06:24:43.950 --> 06:25:01.583
POLICE. AND I HAVE NEVER FOUND ANYTHING BUT DRIPS AND DRIBBLES IN TERMS OF AVAILABILITY ANYWHERE ELSE. AND THAT WAS ONLY WITH MY OWN LOOKING INTO IT. >> ESPECIALLY FOR NORTH METRO -- SORRY, THROUGH THE CHAIR, COUNCIL MEMBER PALMISANO, ESPECIALLY FOR THE NORTH METRO

1098
06:25:01.583 --> 06:25:18.083
CENTER, IT WOULD HAVE TO BE HASHED OUT WITH THE JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT. EACH OF THOSE OFFICERS GET FOUR HOURS EACH. SO LIKE ONCE AGAIN, COMMANDER BROWN, YOU HAVE A BETTER SENSE OF EXACTLY HOW THAT FITS. BUT THAT SORT OF STATUS OF AVAILABILITY ACROSS THE METRO.

1099
06:25:18.083 --> 06:25:33.650
>> YEAH, IT SOUNDS SPOTTY. THANK YOU. >> MY PLEASURE. >> THANK YOU. NEXT, I'LL RECOGNIZE COUNCIL MEMBER RAINVILLE. >> THANK YOU. IN YOUR RESEARCH, WERE THESE OTHER FACILITIES IN RESIDENTIAL AREAS LIKE THEY ARE

1100
06:25:33.650 --> 06:25:49.650
HERE CURRENTLY? >> SO ST. PAUL'S ROAN RICHARD FACILITY, RICHARD ROAN FACILITY WHICH IS JUST POLICE, IT'S NOT COMPLETE PUBLIC SAFETY, IS IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA. THE CLOSEST

1101
06:25:49.650 --> 06:26:07.150
RESIDENT I WAS ABLE TO GOOGLE MAPS IT, WAS KIND OF DOWN THE STREET. IT WASN'T ACROSS. IT WAS SORT OF MAYBE .2 MILES AWAY FROM THE FACILITY ITSELF. BUT THEY WOULD CALL THAT A RESIDENTIAL. HE WENT AND SAID THIS WAS KIND OF A MORE RESIDENTIAL AREA. THE

1102
06:26:07.150 --> 06:26:25.850
OTHER PLACES, I MEAN, AUSTIN KIND OF PUT THES FAR AWAY CLOSER TO THE AIRPORT. SIOUX FALLS IS KIND OF IN THE NORTHEASTERN PORTION. THERE WAS NOT REALLY ANYWHERE WHERE IT

1103
06:26:25.850 --> 06:26:43.133
WAS -- IT WAS NOWHERE COMPARABLE TO SOC WHERE IT'S I GET OUT AND I SEE NEIGHBORS. THAT WAS NOT THAT CLOSE. NONE THAT I COULD FIND. >> THANK YOU. AND THEN THOSE OTHER CENTERS, THEY HAVE THE FIRE TRAINING IN THERE, AND 911?

1104
06:26:43.133 --> 06:26:56.800
>> SO T OTHER CENTER, SO NORTH METRO IS SET UP FOR FIRE. THEY SAID WE CAN HOST SOME FIRE TRAINING. NOT THE SAME REALITY-BASED TRAINING THAT MAYBE THE HERO CENTER COULD BECAUSE THEY ACTUALLY HAV SPACE

1105
06:26:56.800 --> 06:27:15.916
AND IT'S DESIGNED FOR FIRE. SIOUX FALLS YES. AUSTIN DEFINITELY HAS SPACE FOR FIRE. METRO, I COULDN'T GET ANYBODY ON CALL WITH THEM. BUT THEY DO HAVE FIRE. THEIR FOUR-PARTNER CITIES

1106
06:27:15.916 --> 06:27:31.966
HAVE THEIR FIRE DEPARTMENTS TRAIN OUT OF THE SOUTH METRO FACILITY. SO I WOULD HAVE TO ASSUME THERE'S SOME LEVEL OF FIRE TRAINING HAPPENING THERE. BUT YES. I HOPE THAT ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION AS FAR AS THE SCAN OF FOLKS THAT MOST OF THEM THAT I LOOKED AT HAS FIRE. AND I WILL

1107
06:27:31.966 --> 06:27:48.650
SAY THIS IS A LITTLE BIT OF A RESEARCH BIAS BECAUSE'M LOOKING AT COMPARISONS OF OTHER PUBLIC SAFETY FACILITIES THAT HAS THE WHO KITTEN AND CABOODLE. I DIDN'T SCAN ALL THE TRAINING FACILITIES IN THE

1108
06:27:48.650 --> 06:28:05.500
COUNTRY TO SEE IF, DO STATS ON WHO HAS FIRE AND WHO DOESN'T HAVE FIRE. I JUST SAW THE TREND IS CO-LOCATING POLICE IN THE SAME AREA. DOES THAT HELP? >> IT HELPS. THANK YOU. THE OTHER QUESTION IS SO I THE

1109
06:28:05.500 --> 06:28:21.650
CENTER WERE TO THE BUILT, THE USAGE BY MPD, THE FIRE, 911, OTHER CITY AGENCIES THAT WOULD UTILIZE THAT, DO YOU HAVE THAT

1110
06:28:21.650 --> 06:28:36.766
PROJECTION? HOW OFTEN IS THE NEED THERE FOR ALL OF OUR DEPARTMENTS TO USE A FACILITY LIKE THIS? >> I THINK THAT IS BEYOND THE SCOPE OF MY RESEARCH. I THINK THAT IS PROBABLY BEST ANSWERED BY THE PRESENTATIONS HAPPENING RIGHT AFTER MINE. >> OKAY. GOOD WAY TO PASS THE

1111
06:28:36.766 --> 06:28:54.783
BUCK. WOULD THERE ARE OTHER OPPORTUNITIES, FOR THIS LAST QUESTION, FOR OTHER DEPARTMENTS TO RENT THIS FACILITY? >> ONCE AGAIN, AS FAR AS THIS,

1112
06:28:54.783 --> 06:29:11.266
IF YOU ARE REFERRING TO THE COMMUNITY SAFETY AND WELLNESS FACILITY THAT IS PART OF ALL DISCUSON WITHIN OCS, THIS WAS ABOUT JUST COMPARING OUR CURRENT ASSETS TO THE ASSETS THAT WE SEE OUT IN THE FIELD. NOT NECESSARILY FUTURE LOOKING. I

1113
06:29:11.266 --> 06:29:29.866
WOULD ONCE AGAIN PASS THAT BUCK OVER TO THE OCS TEAM TO DISCUSS WHETHER THAT WOULD BE FITTING. >> UNDERSTAND. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> MY PLEASURE. >> NEXT, WE HAVE COUNCIL PRESIDENT PAYNE. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR CHOWDHURY. IT LOOKED LIKE ONE OF THE BIG TRENDS, AND YOU WERE VERY CLEAR

1114
06:29:29.866 --> 06:29:46.016
IN GIVIN YOUR CAVEAT THIS WASN'T YOUR HARD RECOMMENDATION, BUT IT LOOKED LIKE THE TREND WERE THESE FAIRLY LARGE SCALE FACILITIES. WHAT OUR NEEDS ARE, CO-LOCATION IS FIRST AMONG THEM. REALITY-BASED TRAINING SEEMS TO

1115
06:29:46.016 --> 06:30:02.600
BE REALLY CRITICAL. BUT WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT REALITY-BASED TRAINING, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT RACE TRACKS OR WHATEVER THEY WANT TO DESCRIBE THEIR EVASIVE DRIVING TECHNIQUE LOCATION. FIRE TOWERS. FAIRLY LARGE FOOTPRINT FACILITIES. AND

1116
06:30:02.600 --> 06:30:19.350
IT LOOKED LIKE FOR A LOT OF THOSE, THEY WERE PRETTY FAR OUTSIDE OF LIKE AN URBAN CENTER. AND IT LOOKED LIKE THEY WERE QUITE HUGE FACILITIES. I'M JUST CURIOUS IN THAT LANDSCAPE ANALYSIS DID IT LOOK LIKE THE BIGGER THE FACILITY, THE FURTHER AWAY IT WAS FROM THE CITY

1117
06:30:19.350 --> 06:30:35.266
CENTER, AND THEN DID YOU ALSO SEE ANY PATTERNS AROUND THE LARGER THE FACILITY, THE MORE AGENCIES WERE UTILIZING THAT ASSET? >> GREAT QUESTION. I DIDN'T SEE ANY CORRELATI BETWEEN IF THIS

1118
06:30:35.266 --> 06:30:52.483
FACILITY IS BIGGER THAT MEANS IT'S GETTING MORE UTILIZATION. PARTICULARLY, IF I'M COMPARING THE HERO CENTER, WHICH IS 9 ACRES TO SIOUX FALLS, WHICH IS 55 ACRES, I THINK THAT I WOULD

1119
06:30:52.483 --> 06:31:08.866
HAVE TO LOOK DEEPER INTO THAT QUESTION OF HOW MUCH OF A CORRELATION THERE IS TO SIZE AND UTILIZ UTILIZATION. >> VERSUS LIKE A SINGLEGENCY OR A SINGLE JURISDICTION. THIS IS THE JURISDTION'S SOLE ASSET

1120
06:31:08.866 --> 06:31:27.216
VERSUS THE BIGGER IT IS, THE MORE AGENCIES OR MUNICIPALITIES ARE UTILIZING IT. >> THAT'S SUPER INTERESTING BECAE I THINK I FOUND THE OPPOSITE. PARTICULARLY WITH THE METRO AREAS, THOSE FACILITIES ARE PRETTY SMALL COMPARED TO THESE ATLANTA, SIOUX FALLS,

1121
06:31:27.216 --> 06:31:43.500
AUSTIN. AND THEY SHARE THOSE FACILITIES WITH OTHER AGENCIES OR THEY OPEN THEM UP TO BE ABLE TO GET USED BY OTHER AGENCIES. THAT BEING SAID, I ALSO DON'T KNOW WHETHER THAT IS A REGIONAL TREND THAT BUCKS AGAINST THE NATIONAL TREND. THAT WOULD

1122
06:31:43.500 --> 06:31:59.616
PROBABLY TAKE A LITTLE BITORE RESEARCH INTO UNDERSTANDING THAT. YOU MENTIONED YOU HAD ANOTHER QUESTION. >> THE SIZE OF THE FOOTPRT, THE BIGGER IT IS, THE FARTHER AWAY IT LOOKS FROM ANYWHERE REMOTELY LOOKING LIKE A CITY.

1123
06:31:59.616 --> 06:32:17.466
>> OH YES. I THINK I PROBABLY NEED TO DO MORE RESEARCH IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO GIVE YOU A DEFINITIVE ANSWER. EVEN JUST LOOKING AT THE TRENDS, THE BIGGER IT IS, THE MORE ACREAGE

1124
06:32:17.466 --> 06:32:34.416
IT IS, THE FARTHER AWAY IT'S GOING TO BE FROM THE CITY. IF YOU'RE BREAKING INTO GETTING TO 10 ACRES OF SPACE, THEN YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO PUT THAT AWAY FROM THE CITY JUST BECAUSE OF THE COST PER ACRE IS GOING TO INCREASE IN THE CITY. WHERE THE SOC IS AT 4.5 OR LIKE 5, IT'S

1125
06:32:34.416 --> 06:32:51.766
PROBABLY MORE IN LINE WITH WHERE WE SEE IN METRO. SO THAT MIGHT NOT NECESSARILY BE COMPARABLE TO A 55-ACRE IN SIOUX FALLS. DOES THAT HELP? IS THAT HEFUL? >> MM-HMM. >> THANK YOU.

1126
06:32:51.766 --> 06:33:09.516
>> COUNCIL MEMBER THANK YOU. NEXT IN QUEUE WE HAVE COUNCIL MEMBER WHITING. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR CHOWDHURY. I GUESS I DO HAVE QUESTIONS FOR YOU. >> ALL RIGHT. >> JUST KIND OF BRIEFLY HERE. PITTSBURGH I BELIEVE IS THE ONLY

1127
06:33:09.516 --> 06:33:26.233
OTHER CITY ON THERE THAT HAS BEEN UNDER CONSENT DECREE FOR POLICING INITIATIVES. DID YOU IN YOUR KIND OF RESEARCH LOOK AT ANY OTHER CITIES THAT HAVE BEEN UNDER CONSENT DECREES OR CURRENTLY UNDER CONSENT DECREES? >> SORRY. THROUGH THE CHAIR,

1128
06:33:26.233 --> 06:33:42.583
COUNCIL MEMBER WHITING, I TRIED REACHING OUT TO BALTIMORE, I TRIED REACHING OUT TO OTHER CITIES. THIS IS ONE OF THE THINGS ABOUT LRO IS WHENEVER WE THINK ABOUT EXTERNAL FOLKS, IT'S ARE YOU GOING TO READ OUR EMAIL? ARE YOU GOING TO RESPOND? ARE

1129
06:33:42.583 --> 06:33:59.516
YOU GOING TO FIND TIME? AND THAT JUST WASN'T ABLE TO HAPPEN. IF IT WAS A LARGER RESEARCH PROJECT, THAT DEFINITELY IS SOMETHING THAT WE WOU WANT TO TRY TO DO AND HAVE A HARDER EFFORT. HAVE MORE TIME TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT. >> THANK YOU. THAT'S REALLY HELPFUL. THE ONLY REASON I ADD

1130
06:33:59.516 --> 06:34:15.000
IS I DID SOME RESEARCH MYSELF SO IT WOULD BE HELPFUL IF YOU ARE LOOKING AT IT FURTHER OF SPECIFIC CONSENT DECREE CITIES BUILDING OUT FACILITIES AT THE MOMENT. BALTIMORE HAS PROPOSED

1131
06:34:15.000 --> 06:34:30.233
PUBLIC SAFETY FACILITY FOR JUST POLICE AND FIRE WHICH I THINK IS AROUND $330 MILLION. FERSON I THINK DID ONE AROUND $50 MILLION. PORTLAND AROUND $14 MILLION. LOUISVILLE IS OUR

1132
06:34:30.233 --> 06:34:48.716
MOST CONTEMPORARY, $6 MILLION IF SIMILAR TO WHAT WE ARE CONSIDERING AS WELL. >> YES. >> THAT'S HELPFUL. THANK YOU. >> NO PROBLEM. >> COUNCIL MEMBERS, IS THERE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION OR QUESTIONS?

1133
06:34:48.716 --> 06:35:05.250
OKAY. I AM NOT SEEING ANY. SO I WILL HAVE THE CLERK FILE THAT REPORT. NEXT WE HAVE ITEM 76, WHICH IS FINANCING AND ACQUISITION FOR THE COMMUNITY SAFETY TRAINING AND WELLNESS

1134
06:35:05.250 --> 06:35:25.050
CENTER. I WILL ASK DEPUTY COMMISSIONER JARED JEFFRIES TO BEGIN THE PRESENTATION. OKAY. WE WILL HAVE COMMISSIONER TODD BARNETTE GIVE THE PRESENTATION. WELCOME, COMMISSIONER. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR. GOOD

1135
06:35:25.050 --> 06:35:41.233
AFTERNOON. I AM TODD BARNETTE, THE COMMISSIONER OF COMMUNITY SAFETY. I'M HERE TO PRESENT ON THE COMMUNITY SAFETY TRAINING AND WELESS CENTER. ALSO YOU'LL HEAR FROM OUR COO MARGARET

1136
06:35:41.233 --> 06:35:58.366
ANDERSON KELLIHER, AND REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, AND REPSENTATIVES FROM THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AS WELL. WE ARE, LIKE I SAID EARLIER, HEREO PRESENT ON THIS PROJECT AND TO REQUEST FUNDING

1137
06:35:58.366 --> 06:36:16.233
AND APPROVAL TO ACQUIRE THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 146 60th STREET WEST. THE AGENDA OF COURSE FOR THIS IS AN OVERVIEW

1138
06:36:16.233 --> 06:36:31.933
OF THE TRAINING AND WELLNESS CENTER. THE CURRENT FACILITIES THAT WE HAVE AND LOOKING FORWARD. AND THEN THE PROJECTED TIMELINE AND THE PROPOSED SITE ACQUISITION AS WELL. AS I THINK

1139
06:36:31.933 --> 06:36:49.166
ALL OF YOU KNOW, THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF THIS PROJECT AND BUILDING IS TO HAVE A COMPREHENSIVE TRAININ AND WELLNESS CENTER THAT WOULD MEET THE NEEDS FOR OUR COMMUNITY

1140
06:36:49.166 --> 06:37:07.233
SAFETY EMPLOYEES TT THEY HAVE ACCESS TO HIGH LEVEL TRAINING AND ALSO THE WELLNESS RESOURCES NEEDED IN ORDER TO BEST SERVE OUR RESIDENTS AND SITORS. WE WANT TO BE A LEADER IN COMMUNITY

1141
06:37:07.233 --> 06:37:23.200
SAFETY REFORM THAT REQUIRES A LONG-TERM COMMITMENT. THIS PROJECT, OF COURSE, ISN INVESTMENT. AND OUR EMPLOYEES WHO HAVE SOME OF THE MOST CHALLENGING JOBS IN THE CITY.

1142
06:37:23.200 --> 06:37:39.000
AND WHENE HAVE WELL TRAINED EMPLOYEES AND WE PROVIDE THOSE SUPPORT SYSTEMS IN PLACE TO HELP THEM, WE BELIEVE YOU GET A SAFER RESPONSE. ALSO, BY BUILDING OUT

1143
06:37:39.000 --> 06:37:53.766
THIS FALITY, IT FORGES STRONGER COORDINATIONS AND COLLABORATIONS BETWEEN THE COMMUNITY SAFETY DEPARTMENTS, AND OTHER DEPARTMENTS AS WELL AS OUR PARTNERS AT THE STATE AND

1144
06:37:53.766 --> 06:38:14.833
LOCAL LEVEL. I THINK MOST OF YOU KNOW THAT THIS FACILITY WHICH SERVED 911, FIRE, WHICH HAS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF BEHAVIORAL CRISIS RESPONSE, EMERGENCY

1145
06:38:14.833 --> 06:38:25.200
NAGEMENT, WHICH HAS BEEN REALLY LEADING THE CITY IN ITS LARGE-SCALE RESPONSE TO INCIDENTS,HE POLICE DEPARTMENT, AND NEIGHBORHOOD

1146
06:38:25.200 --> 06:38:46.333
SAFETY AS WELL. SPEND A LITTLE BIT OF TIME HERE ON WHAT WE SEE AS A SHARED CENTER AND WHAT IT WOD ALLOW FOR. BACK IN THE

1147
06:38:46.333 --> 06:39:04.533
FALL OF 2024, THE CITY IN ONE OF THE FINAL THINGS TO DO FROM ITS FEMA TRAINING, THE CITY HAD BEEN DOING TRAINING AND TABLE TOPS HERE IN THE CITY FOR ABOUT TWO YEARS. AND SORT OF THE FINALE

1148
06:39:04.533 --> 06:39:21.566
WAS OUT EAST IN EMMETTSBERG WHERE ABOUT 70 EMPLOYEES WENT OUT THERE FOR FEMA TRAINING. IT WAS TO GET ALL OF US TOGETHER IN ONE PLACE. AND FROM THAT, I RELY DO BELIEVE THAT BACK THEN

1149
06:39:21.566 --> 06:39:37.033
WE BECAME STRONGER TOGETHER. THAT WE H A BETTER UNDERSTANDING AND COMMITMENT THAT ENABLED US TO RESPOND BETTER IN A MORE COORDINATED WAY TO LARGE-SCALE EVENTS. I THINK

1150
06:39:37.033 --> 06:39:52.166
WE'VE SEEN THAT OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS HERE. THE BENEFITS OF BEING UNDER ONE ROOF AND HAVING ALL OF OUR DEPARTMENTS IN ONE

1151
06:39:52.166 --> 06:40:08.133
PLACE, I REAY DO BELIEVE THAT THAT GETS US IN A MORE CRS-FUNCTIONAL WAY THAT TRANSLATES INTO REAL-WORLD SCENARIOS. BETTER CROSS-DEPARTMENT TRAINING CAN RESULT IN MORE EFFECTIVE AND EFFICIENT PERFORMANCE BY OUR

1152
06:40:08.133 --> 06:40:24.666
DEPARTMENTS IN TIMES OF CRISIS. I BELIEVE THIS PROJECT PROVIDES A GRE OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO HAVE REGIONAL AND INTER-JURISDICTIONAL PARTNERSHIPS. IT ALSO ENABLES OUR COMMUNITY SAFETY DEPARTMENTS

1153
06:40:24.666 --> 06:40:44.600
AS WELL AS OTHER DEPARTMENTS TO COME TOGETHER AND REALLY BE ABLE TO RESPOND IN MORE COORDINATED MANNER. WHEN WE LOOK AT THIS

1154
06:40:44.600 --> 06:41:02.650
PARTICULAR TRAINING AND WELLNESS CENTERS, WE BELIEVE TT IT WILL HELP U BUILD TOWARDS MORE BETTER COMMUNITY SAFETY ECHO SYSTEM WHICH IS A GOAL OF THE

1155
06:41:02.650 --> 06:41:17.766
SAFE AND THRIVING REPORT. THAT RERT WAS CONDUCTED BY A TEAM OF EXPERTS LED BY DR. ANTONIO OFTELIE. TO PUT US IN A PLACE TO BE NATIONAL LEADERS IN A SAFETY

1156
06:41:17.766 --> 06:41:38.666
SYSTEM. THAT REPORT REALLY LOOKED AT THREE BIG SERVICE AREAS. THOSE SERVICE AREAS WERE PREVENTIVE, RESPONSIVE AND RESTORATIVE SERVICES. BUT THERE'S SOME KEY RECOMMENDATIONS

1157
06:41:38.666 --> 06:41:55.233
THAT REPORT I BELIEVE REALLY LOOKED A WHEN WE LOOK AT THIS PARTICULAR CENTER. AN INVESTMENT IN TRAINING AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT PROVIDING TRAINING AND CAPACITY-BUILDING FOR CUTTING EDGE PRACTICES. INCREASING ADDITIONAL TRAINING

1158
06:41:55.233 --> 06:42:09.700
CAPACITY. DEVELOPING AN EMPLOE WELLNESS PLAN. AND REINFORCING THE STAFF'S WELLNESS PLAN TO ADDRESS SECONDARY TRAUMA BY SHOWING DEBRIEFING AND RESILIENCE CONTENT IMBEDD IN

1159
06:42:09.700 --> 06:42:24.833
ALL TRAINING OPERATIONS. ULTIMATELY, THIS PROJECT IS NECESSARY TO PROVIDE THE NEED SUPPORT TO OUR CITY COMMUNITY SAFETY STAFFY PROVIDING CRITICAL SAFETY SERVICES TO OUR

1160
06:42:24.833 --> 06:42:44.200
RESIDENTS AND VISITORS. THIS PROJECT ALSO HELPS US MEET SOME OF THE OBLIGATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THE MDHR SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT. SPECIFICALLY, THOSE ARE IMPROVING TRAINING PROTOCOLS

1161
06:42:44.200 --> 06:43:04.433
LIKE HAVING ADULT LEARNING AND SCENARIO-BASED TRAINING. ELEVATING TRAINING AND WELLNESS STANDARDS, AND CREING A PLAN FOR PROVIDING MPD EMPLOYEES WITH THE NESSARY FACILITIES AND SUPPORT. WE ALL KNOW THAT THE

1162
06:43:04.433 --> 06:43:21.166
SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT REQUIRED THE CITY TO CONDUCT SEVERAL ASSESSMENTS BUT LOOKED AT TRAINING FACILITIES AND ALSO WELLNESS. EACH OF THESE ASSESSMENTS FOUND THAT THERE WERE SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCIES IN

1163
06:43:21.166 --> 06:43:38.200
THESE CATEGORIES. THOSE ASSESSMENTS ALSO LOOKED AT HOW WE NEED TO IMPROVE THE MPD TRAINING. HOW WE NEED TO ELEVATE EMPLOYEE SUPPORT AND WELLNESS STANDARDS. AND THEN IT ALSO REQUIRED THE CITY TO PROVIDE AND

1164
06:43:38.200 --> 06:43:54.600
CREATE A PLAN THAT ADDRESSED THE DEFICIENCIES IN THOSE ASSESSMENTS. THE FACILITY ASSESSMENT DID SPEFICALLY FIND THAT BUILDING A FACILITY FOR TRAINING WOULD BE RECOMMENDATION

1165
06:43:54.600 --> 06:44:08.533
OPTION TO REACH COMPLIANCE WITH THE SETEMENT AGREEMENT. I BELIEVE ALL COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE SIMILAR PRESENTATION WITH THE SITES THAT YOU SEE AT THE BOTTOM

1166
06:44:08.533 --> 06:44:28.066
OF THIS SLIDE. MOVING AWAYROM THE OVERVIEW, I'LL NOW TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHY WE NEED THESE FACILITIES. AND I THINK THAT THE PREVIOUS PRESENTATION DONE MY MR. MILLER ALSO OUTLINED

1167
06:44:28.066 --> 06:44:44.833
A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT I'LL HIGHLIGHT HERE. BUT WE REALLY USE TWO FACILITIES FOR TRAINING. ONE IS OF COURSE THE SOC, WCH IS THE SPECIAL OPERATIONS CENTER. AND THEN WE USE THE EMERGENCY OPERATION AND TRAINING

1168
06:44:44.833 --> 06:45:02.333
FACILITY WHICH WE REFER TO AS THE EOTF. THE SOC IS PRIRILY USED BY THE POLICE DEPARTMENT FOR TRAINING AND FOR STORAGE. THE EOTF IS REALLY USED BY THE

1169
06:45:02.333 --> 06:45:18.566
FIRE DEPARTMENT AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT. OF COURSE WHEN WE LOOK AT THESE TWO FACILITIES, THERE'S NO PARTICULAR SPECIFIC PLACE FOR 911. FOR TRAINING OR

1170
06:45:18.566 --> 06:45:36.233
WELLNESS. ALSO, THAT'S T SAME FOR NSD AS WELL. WHEN WE LOOK AT THE SOC, SO THIS WAS REPEATED EARLIER SO I'LL JUST HIGHLIGHT THINGS HERE. THAT FORMER

1171
06:45:36.233 --> 06:45:53.333
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL WAS BUILT IN 1962. WE LEASE THAT PROPERTY. SO TO HAVE SIGNIFICANT UPGRADES ARE NOT POSSIBLE. THIS SLIDE SHOWS THE RESIDENTIAL AREA, WHICH I BELIEVE IS A SIMILAR PICTURE THAT WAS SHOWN IN THE PREVIOUS

1172
06:45:53.333 --> 06:46:11.866
PRESENTATION AS WELL. THIS FACILITY, OF COURSE, HAS RESIDENTIAL AREA IN WHICH MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO DO ANY OUTSIDE SCENARIO-BASED ACTIVITIES. WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE EOTF WHICH IS

1173
06:46:11.866 --> 06:46:27.800
PRIMARILY USED BY FIRE AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT, THERE IS A LIMITATION. FOR FIRE, WHEN THEY HAVE THEIR EMS PROGRAM, THE PATHWAYS PROGRAM THERE, THEY

1174
06:46:27.800 --> 06:46:44.233
CAN'T DO THE CPR EXERCISES AT THAT FACILITY. THEY HAVE TO DO IT IN THE BASEMENT OF A FIRE DE LARGE-SCALE EVENTS, LIKE WERE TALKED ABOUT EAIER, LIKE THE COLLAPSE OF THE 35W BRIDGE. YOU

1175
06:46:44.233 --> 06:47:04.233
LOOK AT ANNUNCIATION, EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT DOESN'T REALLY HAVE THE SUFFICIENT SPACE FOR THESE LARGE-SCALE EVENTS THAT HAVE HAPPENED HERE. I'LL TALK A

1176
06:47:04.233 --> 06:47:22.033
LITTLE BIT ABOUT EMERGENCY MANAMENT SPECIFICALLY IN THE NEXT TWO SLIDES HERE. EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT, LIKE I SAID EARLIER, USES THE EOTF FOR SEVAL

1177
06:47:22.033 --> 06:47:37.733
FUNCTIONAL AND TRAINING RELATED EXERCISE, WHICH WE REFER IT TO THE NATIONAL INCIDENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, WHICH IS NIMS. AND ALSO THE INCIDENT COMMAND SYSTEM, WHICH WE REFER TO ICS. BOTH OF

1178
06:47:37.733 --> 06:47:54.933
THESE ARE EMERGENCY PREPARATION AND RESPONSE SYSTEMS, AND THEY'RE USED TO TRAIN ON A NATIONALLY WIDE BASIS WITH OVERREACHING PURPOSES BEING THAT YOU'RE USING COMMON SYSTEMS WITH THE SAME TECHNOLOGY SO THAT NO

1179
06:47:54.933 --> 06:48:13.000
MATTER WRE YOU ARE AS A FIRST RESPONDER, IF YOU'RE HERE IN THE CITYF MINNEAPOLIS, IT HELPS US BETTER UNDERSTAND WHAT THE NEEDS ARE AND WHAT THE RESPONSE WILL BE. UNDERSTAND EMERGENCY MANAGE

1180
06:48:13.000 --> 06:48:28.133
SEVERAL DIFFERENT TRAININGS IN THEIR FACILITY. SPECIFICALLY, THEY HAVE TWO DAY-LONG ENTERPRISE-WIDE TRAININGS AND FOUR COMMAND-SPECIFIC TRAININGS. IT'S NOT JUST THOSE THAT THEY DO.

1181
06:48:28.133 --> 06:48:41.600
THEY CONTINUE TO TRAIN THROUGHOUT THE YEAR FOR OUR OTHER DEPARTMENTS AS WELL. THE CITY AND THE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT ALSO UTILIZES THE EOTF TO HOUSE NIMS

1182
06:48:41.600 --> 06:48:59.533
AND T HOUSE THE ICS-RELATED FUNCTIONS DURING COMPLEX LARGE INCIDENTS. AND YOU KNOW THAT THAT INCLUDES HAVING EMERGENCY OPERATION CENTER, WHICH IS THE EOC, ALSO THE JOINT INFORMATION

1183
06:48:59.533 --> 06:49:15.500
CENTER WHICH IS THE JIC. AND ALSO THE INCIDEN OR UNIFY COMMAND THERE AT THE SAME TIME. WHEN YOU HAVE THESE LARGE-SCALE COMPLEXVENTS WHICH HAVE HAPPENED TO US RECENTLY, IT'S

1184
06:49:15.500 --> 06:49:33.133
JUST NOT ENOUGH SPACE FOR THEM TO OPERATE THE WAY THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO. EXCUSE ME. YOU'LL ALSO HEAR IN THE NEXT SLIDE ABOUT SOME OF THE COMPLICATIONS OUT THERE WHE YOU LOOK -- WHEN YOU HEAR FROM FIRE ABOUT SOME OF THE DIFFICULTIES WHEN THEY HAVE

1185
06:49:33.133 --> 06:49:49.766
THE DET TRAINING THERE. ULTIMATELY, ONE OF THE BENEFITS OF THE NEW SAFETY TRAINING AND WELLNESS CENTER IS THAT WE

1186
06:49:49.766 --> 06:50:06.766
BELIEVE THAT WE'LL BE ABLE TO PROVIDE SPACE FOR LARGE-SCALE COMPLEX INCIDENTS. ALSO, THAT WE WOULD BE IN A POSITION LIKE ST. PAUL TO HAVE SPACE FOR EOC, TO HAVE SPACE FOR A JIC, AN

1187
06:50:06.766 --> 06:50:21.133
INCIDENT OR UNIFIED COMMAND. BUT ALSO IMPORTANT, THIS WOULD ALLOW US TO HAVE SOME DEDICATED SPACE FOR EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT, ALSO

1188
06:50:21.133 --> 06:50:40.900
NEIGHBORHOOD SAFETY, AND 911. I RUCKER FROM OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT. >> WELCOME, CHIEF RUCKER.

1189
06:50:40.900 --> 06:50:58.133
>> CHAIR CHOWDHURY AND COUNCIL MEMBERS, MY NAME IS MELANIE RUCKER, I'M IERIM FIRE CHIEF FOR MINNEAPOLIS FIRE DEPARTMENT. AS WAS STATED BEFORE, MAJORITY OF THE FIRE PARTMENT'S TRAINING OPERATIONS ARE AT THE

1190
06:50:58.133 --> 06:51:16.600
EOTF. AS NOT NOTED, THE EOTF HAS ALWAYS BEEN AT THE PROPERTY WHERE WE HAVE DONE OUR FIRE TRAININGEFORE THE ACTUAL EOTF BUILDING WAS BUILT. PRIOR TO THE EOTF BUILDING PROPERTY BUILDING

1191
06:51:16.600 --> 06:51:32.900
BEING BUILT, WE HAD DOUBLE-WIDE TRAILERS TT WERE OUT THERE AS CLASSROOM SPACE LIKE WHEN I CAME ON AS A CADET. WE HAVE OUR BURN TOWER AS WELL AS WE HAVE OUR TRAINING TOWER. SO THE BURN

1192
06:51:32.900 --> 06:51:49.300
TOWER IS ACTUALLY A BURN SIMULATIONUILDING WHERE WE ACTUALLY LIGHT WITH GAS TO LIGHT AND SMOKE UP THE BUILDING FOR OUR CADET TRAINING, AS WELL AS OUR TRAINING TOW WHERE WE DO OUR REPEL OPERATIONS. OUR RESCUE

1193
06:51:49.300 --> 06:52:05.566
OPERATIONS AND TRAINING AS WELL WITH OUR FIRE CADETS. WITH THE NEW EOTF EXPANSION BUILDING, WE NOW SHARE THE PROPERTY WITH EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AS WELL AS

1194
06:52:05.566 --> 06:52:20.800
THE SIC WITH THE MPD. SO THAT TRAINING SPACE IS CONDENSED FOR US. WE HAVE THE INTERIOR CLASSROOMS THAT ARE ALSO SHAD WITH ALL THE OTHER DEPARTMENTS SO THAT LIMITS OUR SPACE F OUR

1195
06:52:20.800 --> 06:52:39.400
TRAINING AS WELL. IN EVENTS OF A LARGE INCIDENT OPERATIONS, AGAIN,S YOU ALL KNOW THAT THE EOTF IS ONE OF THE FIRST SPACES THAT ARE GETTING UTILIZED AND TAKEN. SO IF WE HAVE A CADET CLASS GOING ON DURING THAT TIME

1196
06:52:39.400 --> 06:52:55.400
OF THAT EMERGENCY EVENT OPERATIONS, THEN OUR CADETS ARE CHALLENGED TO CONTINUE THEIR TRAINING AND OPERATIONS OUT THERE. AS WELL AS PARNG SPACES, AS WELL AS WHEN WE'RE DOING OUR ANNUAL FIRE TRAINING

1197
06:52:55.400 --> 06:53:14.233
AND DRILLS. WE HAVE TO DO 120 HOURS OF FIRE TRAINING TO KEEP UP OUR FIRE ONE AND TWO OPERATIONS AS WELL AS WE HAVE TO DO 40 HOURS OF TRAINING TO KEEP UP OUR EM SERVICES AND

1198
06:53:14.233 --> 06:53:32.033
CERTIFICATIONS. WITH THE EMS PORTION AS WAS STATED FOR OUR RECRUITMENT WHICH IS BIG FOR OUR DIVERSITY OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, WE HAVE OUR EMS PATHWAYS INTERNSHIP. THAT INTERNSHIP IS HELD ONCE A YEAR. AND THAT INTERNSHIP, THAT

1199
06:53:32.033 --> 06:53:48.833
TRAINI, WE'RE NOT ABLE TO UTILIZE THE EOTF FOR THAT TRAINING. SO THAT TRAINING AS WELL AS ONGOING EMS TRAING CERTIFICATIONS HAPPEN IN THE BASEMENT OF FIRE STATION 21. SO IT IS ACTUALLY A BASEMENT WHERE

1200
06:53:48.833 --> 06:54:05.733
THERE ISOLD AND MILDEW AND IT'S LIKE MAKESHIFT THAT WE ARE DOING OUR TRAINING OPERATIONS AS WELL AS, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE DO OUR ONGOING TRAINING WITH OUR FIREFIGHTERS, WE WILL HAVE FIVE FIRE TRUCKS THAT ARE IN A RESIDENTIAL SPACE TRYING TO COME

1201
06:54:05.733 --> 06:54:21.366
IN TO DO TRAINING WHILE ON SHIFT. WE HAVE GOTTEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FROM RESIDENTS THAT DO NOT IN THE WINTER TIME HAVING FIRE TRUCKS IDLE ON RESIDENTIAL STREETS. SO TRYING TO KEEP THOSE LARGE TRUCKS OFF OF THE STREETS

1202
06:54:21.366 --> 06:54:37.466
FOR RESIDENTS AND TRYING TO PARK THEM ON APPARATUS BAY WHERE THERE ISTILL FIRE OPERATIONS AT FIRE STATION 21, THEY ARE STILL IN SERVICE. AS WELL WE'RE DOING THE TRAINING AS WELL AS THE INTERNS ARE THERE. THEY ARE STILL IN SERVICE. THEY ARE

1203
06:54:37.466 --> 06:54:53.066
RESPONDING TO TWO FIRE INCIDENTS WHILE WE ARE TRYING TO TRAIN. ON TOP OF THAT, WE ARE ALSO FOR DRIVING SIMULATIONS, WE DO NOT HAVE A DRIVER SIMULATION. ANY

1204
06:54:53.066 --> 06:55:12.533
TOOLS OR TECHNICAL ASPECTS WHERE WE CANNOT HAVE TO UTILIZE OUR FIRE TRUCKS. SO WE ARE DOING THE WEAR AND TEAR ON TRAINING, ON TRAINING OUR CADETS HOW TO DRIVE AND TRAINING OUR FIRE OPERATORS HOW TO DRIVE A FIRE TRUCK HAVIN

1205
06:55:12.533 --> 06:55:30.900
FIRE TRUCK. AND SO OTHER ASPECTS WERE WE DON'T HAVE THE SPACE, THE FOOTPRINT OUT THERE TO ACTUALLY DO IF WE'RE DOING PHYSICALLY MOVING THAT LARGE FIRE TRUCK AROUND, WE ARE GOING OUT TO ST. CLOUD. SO AS WE ARE

1206
06:55:30.900 --> 06:55:47.566
STATING THE NEWACILITY THAT WILL HAVE SPACE FOR, YOU KNOW, I GUESS THEY WERE SAYING TY WERE CALLED RACE CAR TRACKS. THAT SPACE CAN ALSO BE ULIZED FOR FIRE MANEUVER OPERATIONS TO TRAIN FIRE VEHICLES. WE ALSO DO

1207
06:55:47.566 --> 06:56:02.766
HAZMAT TECHNICAL RESCUE TRAINING, WATER RESCUE TRAINING, AND AS WELL AS I WAS SAYING THE FIRE MODAL OPERATION TRAINING. WE DO SOME OF OUR ROPEESCUE BECAUSE WE DO URBAN RESCUE. WE DO ROPE REPELLING, WE DO

1208
06:56:02.766 --> 06:56:19.500
CONFINED SPACE. WE DO TACTICAL BREACHING ANDBREAKING. WE DO ALL THAT TYPES OF HEAVY RESCUE. AND SOME OF OUR ROPE RESCUE, WE'RE DOING OUT OF ONE OF OUR FIRE STATIONS. WE HAVE ACTUAL MOUNTING AND SUPPORT SYSTEMS THAT ARE BUILT WITHIN FIRE

1209
06:56:19.500 --> 06:56:35.700
STATION 6 WHERE WE'RE USING ANCHOR POINTS THAT ARE BUILT INTO FIRE STATION 6 AS WELL AS SOME CONFINED SPACE UNITS AT FIRE STATION 6. SO AS SO, AS WELL AS KEEPING OUR RESCUE ONE, WHICH IS UTILIZED

1210
06:56:35.700 --> 06:56:50.500
STATEWIDE, THAT VEHICLE IS HOUSED AT THE EOTF. SO OUR APPARATUS BAYS ARE FILLED WITH, YOU KNOW, EMERGENCY RESPONSE EQUIPMENT THAT ALSO WE HAV TO UTILIZE WHEN WE'RE DOING OUR

1211
06:56:50.500 --> 06:57:09.216
CADET TRAINING. OUR CADET TRAINING HAS TO GO ON OUT THERE. WHEN WE DO RCUE PROPS AND WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF BUILDING RESCUE PROPS IN THE BACK OF THE FACILITY. SO WHEN I SAY WE HAVE A STATE RESCUE TEAM, THAT RESCUE

1212
06:57:09.216 --> 06:57:25.566
TEAM COMES AND TRAINS AT THE EOTF. THEN ALSO, ANOTHER FACILITY THAT IS HOUSED OFF PROPERTY THAT WE ALSO RENT IS R WELLNESS RESOURCES. SO, OUR

1213
06:57:25.566 --> 06:57:43.383
WELLNESS RESOURCES ALSO RENTED IN A SPACE OVER SOUTH MINNEAPOLIS, AND IT'S JUST AN OFFICE SPACE. SO WHEN WE'RE DOING CRITICAL INCIDENT DEBRIEFINGS OR A WELLNESS TRAINING FOR ALL OF OUR FIREFIGHTERS, THAT SPACE PROBABLY HOUSES 7 TO 10 PEOPLE,

1214
06:57:43.383 --> 06:58:02.250
AT THE MOST. SO, IT IS ALSO NDENSED SPACE. OKAY. SOALONG

1215
06:58:02.250 --> 06:58:20.883
WITH JUST THE FIRE, THE E.M.S., AS WELL AS THE B.C.R. TRAINING, THE INTERAGENCY TRAINING IN COORDINATION IS KEY FOR ANY LARGE RESPONSE. THAT KIND OF INTERAGENCY AND COORDINATOR TRAINING WE DO, I'LL SAY WITH

1216
06:58:20.883 --> 06:58:39.916
POLICE, AS WELL AS OUR MECC, OUR DISPAT DISPATCHERS IS MASS INCIDENT SHOOTINGS. WE PRACTICE FOR THAT. WE COORDINATE ANDE TRAIN TOGETHER TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE GOING INTO THESE INCIDENTS

1217
06:58:39.916 --> 06:58:56.350
TO SAVE LIVES AND QUICKLY WORK TOGETHER. WITHOUT THAT TRAINING, WE ARE NOT ABLE TO RESPOND AS QUICKLY AS WE HAVE. EVEN WITH THE MITCHELL SHOOTING, FIRE RESPONDED WITH P.D. THEY WERE

1218
06:58:56.350 --> 06:59:09.683
UTILING ONE OF OUR FIRE TRUCKS FOR COVERAGE AND OUR FIREFIGHTERS HAD TO UTILIZE THE FIRE TRUCKS FOR COVERAGE AND KNOW HOW TO WORK WELL WITH OUR POLICE OFFICERS FROM THAT TYPE OF TRAINING THAT WE DO TOGHER

1219
06:59:09.683 --> 06:59:26.483
AND ALSO, YOU KNOW, AS FIRE HAS INCORPORATED B.C.R., WE HAVE NOT HAD THAT CRITICAL SPACE AND TRAINING TOGETHER THAT WE NEED TO, TO MAK SURE WE'RE RESPONDING TOGETHER AND MAKING SURE THE CORRECT RESPONSE GOES

1220
06:59:26.483 --> 06:59:44.250
OUT TO THE COMMUNITY. B.C.R. IS LOCATED OVER NORTHEAST IN THEIR OWN FACILITY AND CURRENTLY THE RESPOND, YOU KNOW, ACCORDING TO THE PRINCT'S RESPONSES AS WE ARE BRINGING THEM INTO FIRE, WE

1221
06:59:44.250 --> 07:00:00.816
ARE STARTING TO WANTING THEM TO RESPOND FROM FIRE STATIONS,O THEY ARE COVERED WIDE AND THEIR RESPONSE TIMES GO DOWN. SO WH THAT COORDINATION AND WORKING TOGETHER, IT IS NOT ONLY JUST T THAT COORDINATION TO MAKING SURE WE HAVE A COORDATOR RESPONSE

1222
07:00:00.816 --> 07:00:18.216
WITH ALL OF OUR CRITICAL RESPONSE TEAMS AND MAKE SURE THE COMMUNITY GETS SERVED. SO, I THINK WITH YOU KNOW, ALSO THAT THE DEDICATED SPACE, YOU KNOW, WITH THE SIMULATIONS AND THINGS THAT YOU KNOW, P.D. IS GOING TO

1223
07:00:18.216 --> 07:00:35.483
COORDINATE, FIRE CAN ALSO UTILIZE THOSE SCREENS IN THAT IMAGERY TO REAL LIFE TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES. WHEN WE DO OUR PROMOTIONAL EXAMS, WE BRING DISPATCH AND WE ACTUALLY PUT ON A MONITOR, YOU KNOW, SIMULATING

1224
07:00:35.483 --> 07:00:51.483
FIRES AND BUILDINGS AND HAZMAT MATERIAL, AND HAZMAT RESPONSES THAT HOW DO WE RESPOND TO THESE CRITICAL INCIDENTS SAFELY AND NOT HAVING TO TRY TO, YOU KNOW, MANEUVER THOSE ON A PROJECTOR

1225
07:00:51.483 --> 07:01:05.450
SCREEN TT WE HAVE. THAT IS NOT UP TO DATE TECHNOLOGY. SO, THAT IS WHAT THIS WELLNESS -- I MN ALSO INCORPORATING OUR WELLNESS CENTER IN THIS FACILITY. I AM

1226
07:01:05.450 --> 07:01:24.350
OPEN FOR QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. OKAY, THANK YOU. >> YEAH, THANK YOU. WE'LL TAKE QUESTIONS AT THE END OF THE

1227
07:01:24.350 --> 07:01:47.350
PRESENTATION. WELCOME. >> GOOD AFTERNOON CHAIR CHOWDHURY, COUNCIL MEMBERS. THEY LIMITED ME TO TWO MINUTES SO I

1228
07:01:47.350 --> 07:02:03.450
PROMISE TO MAKE THIS BRIEF. COUNCIL PRESIDENT, YOU AS WELL, THANK YOU FOR HAVING US. I AM COMMANDER CHRIS BROWN, I OVERSEE THE TINING DIVISION FOR M.P.D. WE CONDUCT THE MAJORITY OF THE

1229
07:02:03.450 --> 07:02:18.283
TRAINING AT THE OPERATION CENTER, CURRENTLY REFERRED TO AS THE S.O.C. ALL ARE VYING FOR CLASSROOM ENLARGED GROUP TRAINING SPACE. THOSE PEOPLE THAT ARE OCCUPYING THE SPACE

1230
07:02:18.283 --> 07:02:35.650
INCLUDE 32 CURRENTLY, 32 RECRUITS THAT ARE IN A 16-WEEK ACADEMY. 30 OFFICERS THAT ARE RRENTLY ON F.T.O. AND RETURN TO THE S.O.C. FREQUENTLY FOR COMBAT TRAINING AND REMEDIAL TRAINING AS NEEDED. 71 COMMUNITY SERVICE OFFICER CURRENTLY THAT

1231
07:02:35.650 --> 07:02:50.850
TRAIN THROUGHOUT THE WEEK AT THE S.O.C., 26 CADETS THAT CONDUCT THEIR ORIENTATIONS BEFORE AND AFTER THEY GO  THE HENNEPIN TECHNICAL COLLEGE IN ORDER TO GET THEIR CERTIFICATION TO START THE RECRUIT ACADEMY. 30 TO 35

1232
07:02:50.850 --> 07:03:08.400
OFFICERS, THAT THE NUMBER WE DO, WE SEEK OUT FOR ATTENDANCE FOR IN-SERVICE TRAINING. HISTORICALLY IT WAS ONE OR TWO TRAININGS PER YEAR, FOR ALL OFFICERS AND THEN AS YOU HIT SPECIALTY TRAININGS, YOU HAVE ADDITIONAL TRAINING. RIGHT NOW

1233
07:03:08.400 --> 07:03:25.366
WE HAVE OVER 60 HOURS OF TRAINING PER YEAR, JUST AS A BASELINE AND HAVE UP TO 160 HOURS OF TRAINING FOR EVERY OFFICER ON THE DEPARTMENT. SO, CLASSROOM AND LARGE SPACE IS AT A PREMIUM. ADDITIONAL M.P.D.

1234
07:03:25.366 --> 07:03:43.450
ORGANIZATIONAL NEEDS SUCH AS BRIEFINGS AND EVENTS ALSO VIE FOR THE S.O.C. WE HAVE PEOPLE HANDING OUT GIFTS FOR THE HOLIDAY SEASON, ALL KINDS OF EVENTS THAT THE COMMUNITY USES THAT SPACE FOR, FORUT REACH

1235
07:03:43.450 --> 07:04:00.566
PURPOSES FOR THE CITY. CURRENTLY THE S.O.C. HOUSES THE TRAINING DIVISION AND SEVERAL OTHER UNITS. THE TRAINING DIVISION MAKES UP FOR 19 FULL TIME STAFF MEMBERS THAT WORK THERE AND THERE ARE MORE THAN THAT, THAT OCCUPY THE SAME SPACE FOR

1236
07:04:00.566 --> 07:04:16.516
TRAINING. A SPACE THAT IS DEDICATED SPECIFICALLY FOR TRAINING RIGHT NOW IS FIVE STANDARD CLASSROOMS. OF THE STANDARD CLASSROOMS, TWO OF THOSE ARE CAPABLE OF HANDLING SOMEWHERE AROUND 30 TO 35 STUDENTS, THOSE WERE, THOSE CLASS

1237
07:04:16.516 --> 07:04:31.300
CLASSROOMS AREN'T SUFFICIENT FOR THE SIZE OF THE CLASSES THAT WE'RE GETTING, AS WELL AS OUR IN-SERVICE. SO, RIGHT NOW WE HAVE 32 RECRUITS IN OUR RECRUIT ACADEMY. WE ARE ALSO PROJECTED TO BE SOMEWHERE CLOSE TO 50 IN THE JUNE CLASS. SO, WE HAVE TO

1238
07:04:31.300 --> 07:04:47.016
SPLIT THE CLASSES UP INTO MULTIPLE CLASSROOMS OR TRAIN THE SAME THING TWICE, JUST TO HAVE THE PEOPLE IN THE CLASSROOM SPACE. WE HAVE ONE OFFICE SPACE THAT WAS CONVERTED INTO A SMALL MAT ROOM, AND WE HE TWO LARGE

1239
07:04:47.016 --> 07:05:02.866
TRAINING SPACES. THE TWO LARGE TRAINING SPACES THAT WE HAVE, ONE ISUR GYM. THE GYM ACCOMMODATES SAFELY 25 TO 30 TRAINEES AT A TIME, AND THE AUDITORIUM SPACE, WHICH IS SMALLER, IS 20 TO 30 TRAINEES. THIS MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR

1240
07:05:02.866 --> 07:05:19.016
CLASS SIZES, FOR RECRUIT CLASS SIZES WE HAVE THAT COULD BE ON AVERAGE 30 TO 40 CADETS OR RECRUITS IN THO CLASSES, AS WELL AS VYING FOR SCHEDULING, FOR IN-SERVICE, WHICH IS THE CONTINUED EDUCATION FOR THE OFFICERS. SO WE'RE ALWAYS TRYING

1241
07:05:19.016 --> 07:05:36.633
TO JUGGLE WHO GETS PRIORITY OVER IT AMONGST THE OTHER PEOPLE THAT NEED THE SPACE. SO CURRENTLY WE HAVE NO DEDICATED SPACE FOR SCENARIO-BASED TRAINING, SPECIFICALLY REALISTIC TRAINING, ENVIRONMENTS THAT REFLECT THE ENVIRONMENTS THAT OFFICERS WILL BE ENCOUNTERING IN THE FIELD. CURRENTLY WE USE CLASSROOMS THAT

1242
07:05:36.633 --> 07:05:53.550
WE JUST, YOU KNOW, WE ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO USE THEIR IMAGINATION WHEN THEY KNOCK ON THE DOOR AND SAY AT YOU ARE NOW ENTERING AN APARTMENT BUILDING AND WHILE THAT IS A CLASSROOM SPACE, OTHERWISE WE USE THE GYM AND HALLWAYS. WE HAVE ONE SMALL

1243
07:05:53.550 --> 07:06:11.050
WORKOUT AREA THAT C ACCOMMODATE 10 TO 15 PEOPLE AT A TIME. THE RECRUITS IN THE ACADEMY DON'T HAVE A LOCKER ROOM, THEY USE A SMALL CLASSROOM FOR THEIR EQUIPMENT AND GEAR. THE FACILITY ONLY OFFERS 6 MALE SHOWERS AND 2 FEMALE SHOWERS.

1244
07:06:11.050 --> 07:06:28.366
THE S.O.C., I THINK ONE OF THE PREVIOUS SPEAKERS TALKED ABOUT THE STORAGE. THE STORA WITH THE MULTIPLE UNITS USING THE S.O.C., WE SHARE THE STORAGE SPACE THAT IS NECESSARY. SOME OF THE THINGSHAT M.P.D. STORES LIKE OUR TASERS AND SOME OF OUR

1245
07:06:28.366 --> 07:06:45.683
V.R. EQUIPMENT NEEDS TO BE SECURED SO THAT LIMITS THE ABILITY TO MULTI-ACCESS THE AREAS. SO ADDITIONALLY, I THINK THIS WAS BROUGHT UP IN PREVIOUS SPEAKERS AS WELL, THERE IS ONLY ONE DRINKING FOUNTAIN AND NONE OF THE WATER AT THE FACILITY IS

1246
07:06:45.683 --> 07:07:03.466
POTAE. WE MAKE DO WITH HAVING WATER COOLERS IN THE AREA. THE NEXT PART WILL BE MY COUNTERPART HERE. >> THANK YOU, HELLO CHAIR CHOWDHURY AND OTH CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS. MY NAME IS DR. MEREDITH, THE HEALTHND WELLNESS MANAGER FOR MINNEAPOLIS

1247
07:07:03.466 --> 07:07:20.250
POLICE DEPARTMENT. I WILL BE TALKING ABOUT THE WELLNESS UNIT AND OUR CURRENT SITUATION. IF YOU IMAGINE AN OLD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND IMAGINE THE PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE, THAT IS THE WELLNESS CENTER. SO MY OFFICE IS LITERALL THE OLD PRINCIPAL OFFICE. WE HAVE TWO PRIVATE

1248
07:07:20.250 --> 07:07:36.933
OFFICE SPACES, SO IT'S MYSELF AND THEN THE HEALTH A WELLNESS COORDINATOR, A SERGEANT IN OUR UNIT, AND THE COORDINATOR WORKS OUTSIDE IN A SHARED DECOMPRESSION SPACE THAT I WOULD SAY SITS AND 8 TO 10 PEOPLE.

1249
07:07:36.933 --> 07:07:55.616
OTHERWISE, THAT IS THE HEALTH AND WELLNESS UNIT. SO, WE HAVE THE TWO PRIVATE OFFICES, THAT LIMITED DECOMPRESSION SPACE, AND THEN OTHERWISE IT'S CEILLY JIG JIGSAWING AVAILABLEPACE TO FIND VABLT AVAILABILITY TO HOST

1250
07:07:55.616 --> 07:08:12.066
BRIEFINGS, SUPPORT MEETINGS, AND ONGOING TRAININGS FOR SWORN AND NON-SWORN STAFF. SO THAT IS OUR CURRENT CAPACITY THAT WE HAVE. I WILL ALSO JUST SAY THAT WE ARE BUILDING OUT IN THE OLD FIRST

1251
07:08:12.066 --> 07:08:27.350
PRECINCT AN INTERIM WELLNESS FACILITY, SO THAT IS ACCOMMODATING THE NEW WELLNESS DIVISION, WHICH HOUSES HEALTH A SAFETY UNITS, AND THE EARLY INTERVENTION UNIT. SO THAT WILL

1252
07:08:27.350 --> 07:08:43.100
HAVE SEVEN PRIVATE OFFICES, TWO THERAPY OFFICES THAT WILL OFF ONSITE THERAPY SERCES TO STAFF AND THEN WE ALSO WILL HAVE JUST A WAITING ROOM SHARED DECOMPRESSION SPACE, BUT AGAIN IN THE INTERIM SPACE, WE WILL CONTINUE TO NAVIGATE SHARING

1253
07:08:43.100 --> 07:09:00.016
SPACE WITH TRAINING UNITS FOR ONGOING TRAININGS, PEER SUPPORT TEAMS, AND CRITICAL INCIDENT DEBRIEFINGS.

1254
07:09:00.016 --> 07:09:16.566
>> COMMANDER, IT'S BEEN MORE THAN TWO MINUTES. [LAUGHTER]. >> CHAIR CHOWDHURY AND COUNCIL, THANK YOU AGAIN. YOU GET TO DEAL WITH ME AGAIN. SO, NEXT WE WILL BE TALKING ABOUT SOME OF THE BASELINES OF WHAT WE ANTICIPATE

1255
07:09:16.566 --> 07:09:34.316
WITH THE NEW FACILITY. SO, THE MINNEAPOLIS POLICE DEPARTMENT HAS SEVERAL NEEDS THAT UNDERSCORE THE IMPORTANCE OF A NEW TRAINING AND WELLNESS CENTER. THE NEW FACILITY WILL SERVE MANY IMPORTANT FUNCTIONS, HOWEVER I AM JUST GOING TO GO OVER FOUR QUICK HIGHLIGHTS FOR

1256
07:09:34.316 --> 07:09:49.000
YOU. SO, REALISM IN POLICE TRAINING. SO ENSURING THAT POLICE OFFICERS TRAINING REFLECTS THE ENVIRONMENT THAT OFFICERS ENCOUNTER IN THE FIELD.

1257
07:09:49.000 --> 07:10:06.716
BOTH I THINK IT'S THE JENSEN HUES IDENTIFIES THIS IS THE LARGEST NEED WE HAVE FOR TRAINING, PROVIDING THE REALISTIC SCENARIO-BED TRAININGS, AND THE VIESHLT TO DO SO. THIS IMPROVES DECISION

1258
07:10:06.716 --> 07:10:22.000
MAKING FOR OFFICERS UNDER STRESS, COGNITIVE AND THEIR EMOTIONAL READINESS. THE NEW FACILITY WILL HAVE DEDICATED SPACE FOR THIS. NEXT IS SAFE TRAINING ENVIRONMENT. SO 13% OF ALL POLICE OFFICER INJURIES OCCUR DURING TRAINING. SO

1259
07:10:22.000 --> 07:10:40.450
PROVIDING A DEDICATED SECURED AREA, FREE OF LIVE WEAPONS, WHERE SCENARIO-BASED TRAINING CAN BE DELIVERED AS CRUCIAL. TRAINING ENVIRONMENTS THAT ARE CONTROLLED, SECURE, MINIMIZE EXPOSURE TO PASSING VEHICLES, IN

1260
07:10:40.450 --> 07:10:56.650
PARKING LOT OR PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC, REDUCING DISTRACTIONS FOR THE STUDENT AND PROVIDING THE BEST TRAINING AND INSTRUCTION. THIRD IS COMMUNITY IMPACTS. POLICE TRAINING, I HANDLED NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OVER

1261
07:10:56.650 --> 07:11:13.583
THE LAST COUPLE YEARS AND MOST OF WHICH WERE NECESSARY. WHAT I MEAN BY THAT IS POLICE TRAINING SHOULD NOT REQUIRE THAT THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO DO NOT WISH TO OBSERVE THIS TRAINING TO HAVE TO HAVE THIS TRAINING

1262
07:11:13.583 --> 07:11:30.183
CONDUCTED OPENLY WITHIN THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS. SO, IN CONTRAST TO THAT, WE ALSO HAVE MEMBER FROM THE COMMUNITY AND COMMUNITY GROUPS WHO ARE ASKED TO OBSERVE THE TRAININGS THAT WE ARE GOING THROUGH. SOME OF THESE, JUST TO NAME A FEW, REIMAGING COMMUNITY

1263
07:11:30.183 --> 07:11:45.783
SAFETY, M.P.D.'S PROFESSIONAL ADVISORY COUNCIL, AND MANY OTHER COMMUNITY MEMBERS HAVE REACHED OU OUT. WHEN IT COMES TO OBSERVING TRAINING, WE HAVE CITY ATTORNEYS, WE OPEN UP FOR OPCR, WE HAVE CCPO COME OUT TO OBSERVE

1264
07:11:45.783 --> 07:12:02.816
THE TRAINING, AND WE HAV MDHR, WE OPEN UP OUR TRAINING AND I INVITED EACH ONE OF YOU. I CONTINUE FOR THE NEW COUNCIL MEMBERS, YOU ARE MORE THAN WELCOME TO COME OUT AT ANY TIME, REACH OUT TO FIND OUT WHAT TRAININGS ARE AVAILABLE BECAUSE IT'SMPORTANT FOR YOU TO KNOW

1265
07:12:02.816 --> 07:12:19.083
WHAT WE DO AND HOW WE'RE DOING IT AND YOU CAN SHARE TT WITH THE PEOPLE THAT ARE, THE CONSTI NEIGHBORHOOD. SO I WOULD APPRECIATE YOU TAKING ME UP ON THAT. FINALLY, THE LARGE GROUP TRAINING SPACE. RECRUIT

1266
07:12:19.083 --> 07:12:36.883
ACADEMIES, LATERAL OFFICERS, ORIENTATION, DEPARTMENT MEETINGS, NEEDING LARGER SPACE AND THE ONGOING IN-SERVICES ARE IN HIGH DEMAN FOR THE LARGE TRAINING SPACES. SO SOME OF THOSE LARGE SPACE NEEDS ARE FOR

1267
07:12:36.883 --> 07:12:51.816
OPERAT OPERATIONAL BRIEFINGS. WE USE LARGE MATS SET UP IN THE LARGE TRAINING SPACES FOR EVERYONETY HAND DEFENSE TRAINING, DEESCALATION, USE OF FORCE TRAININGS. THE HANDS-ON LEARNING THEY DO DEMONSTRATE IT IS

1268
07:12:51.816 --> 07:13:07.750
LEARNING OBJECTIVES THEY TAKEN FROM THE POLICY TRAINING THAT THEY HAVE PRIOR TO THAT. IT ALSO OPENS UP WITH THESE LARGER SPACES OTHER AVAILABLE AGENCIES AND MULTIPLE AGENCIES AND DISCIPLINES TO BE ABLE TO JOI US WITH TRAINING. IT DOES OPEN

1269
07:13:07.750 --> 07:13:23.616
UP A LOT MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR THOSE JOINT TRAININGS. >> THANK YOU COMMANR. IN TERMS OF WELLNESS, SO FIRST WE HAVE ON THERE THAT THIS SPACE COULD EXPAND UPON ON-SITE THERAPY

1270
07:13:23.616 --> 07:13:40.983
SERVICES. I MENTIONED IN THE INTERIM SPACE, WE HAVE TWO ON-SITE THERAPY OFFICES. WHEN WE SAY THERAPY, WE'RE MEANING IN A HOLISTIC SENSE. IT'S NOT JUST MENTAL HEALTH THERAPY BUT AS COMMANDER BROWN AND CHIEF RUTGERS MENTIONED, PHYSICAL

1271
07:13:40.983 --> 07:14:00.616
THERAPY, THINGS TO REHABILITATE FARES -- FIRST RESPONDERS, NOT JUST IN BRAIN, BUT IN BODY AS WELL. WE BELIEVE IN ALL THE PILLARS OF WELLNESS, SPIRITUAL, FINANCIAL, SOCIAL, AND BEING

1272
07:14:00.616 --> 07:14:16.233
CENTRALIZED WITH OTH COMMUNITY SAFETY PARTNERS, THIS WILL HELP INCREASE HELP SEEKING BEHAVIORS BY CENTRALIZING THE SERVICES, ESPECIALLY WITH TRAINING. IT'S REALLY INTENTIONAL THAT WELLNESS IS PARTNERED WITH TRAINING BECAUSE THE MINUTE A RECRUIT COMES THROUGH THE DOOR, WE WANT

1273
07:14:16.233 --> 07:14:33.283
TO NORMALIZE HELP SEEKING AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. WE MAKE A POINT TO GET OUT, INTRODUCE OURSELVES TO THE NEW FOLKS, BUILD A RELATIONSHIP, SO THAT THE MINUTE SOMETHING DOES HAPPEN OR THEY'RE FEELING CONCERNED ABOUT SOMETHING, THAT THEY FEEL COMFORTABLE ENOUGH TO COME AND SEEK SUPPORT. SO, IT IS A REALLY INTENTIONAL PARTNERSHIP WITH

1274
07:14:33.283 --> 07:14:52.450
TRAINING. LASTLY, SUPPLIES ADEQUATE OFFICE SPACE FOR WELLNESS STAFF. THIS WILL CENTRALIZE AND CO-LOCATE WELLNESS STAFF FROM THE DEPARTMENTS AND SUPPORT INTERDEPARTMENTAL INCREASES OF SUPPORT SERVICES. A LOT OF FOLKS

1275
07:14:52.450 --> 07:15:12.783
HAVE SPOKE ON ENUNCIATION. WE NEED TO OFFER SUPPORT THAT DAY AND IN THE WEEKS AND MONTHS AFTER AND WE CONTINUE TO PROVIDE THAT SUPPORT AND PARTNERSHIP. WE LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUING TO DO

1276
07:15:12.783 --> 07:15:36.116
THAT. THANK YOU. >> JUST QUICKLY HERE, HERE ARE A COUPLE OF THE FEATURES THAT YOU ALREADY HEARD ABOUT THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE FROM THI

1277
07:15:36.116 --> 07:15:52.116
PROJECT IN THIS FACILITY TO MEET ONLY OF THE UNMET TRAINING, WELLNESS, AND OPERATIONAL NEEDS FROM OUR COMMUNITY SAFETY DEPARTMENTS. THEN OF COURSE YOU

1278
07:15:52.116 --> 07:16:09.583
KNOW, I KNOW DIRECTOR O'BRIEN WILL SCOLD ME AT SOME POINT FOR THIS BECAUSE I KNOW WE'RE NOT AT THE DESIGN PHASE, BUT YOU KNOW WE REALLY DO LOOK AT THIS CILITY TO HELP US WITH OUR

1279
07:16:09.583 --> 07:16:25.716
TRAINING AND PARTNERSHIPS WITH THE COUNTY, WITH THE STATE, TO HAVE INTERJURISDICTIONAL TRAINING FOR COMPLEX INCIDENTS, TO BE PREPARED FOR WN THOSE THINGS ACTUALLY HAPPEN. ONCE

1280
07:16:25.716 --> 07:16:44.483
WE'RE BEYD THIS PHASE IN THE PROJECT, WE CAN TALK ABOUT MORE FORMALIZED PARTNERSHIPS WITH OTHER JURISDICTIONS IN WHAT THE DESIGN OF THIS BUILDING WOULD LOOK LIKE. I AM GOING TO HAND IT

1281
07:16:44.483 --> 07:17:01.550
OVER TO OUR C.O.O. MARGARET ANDERSON KELLER. >> WELCOME. >> I ALMOST SAID GOOD EVENING CHAIR CHOWDHURY, WE'RE CLOSE. ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR PATIENCE TODAY. I'M MARGARET ANDERSON, THE C.O.O.

1282
07:17:01.550 --> 07:17:19.583
FOR THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS. I AM BEFORE YOU TODAY TO TALK A LITTLE MORE ABOUT THE HOW AND THE WHERE WITH DIRECTOR O'BRIEN. SO, WE WILL MOVE TO THE

1283
07:17:19.583 --> 07:17:36.216
REQUESTED ACTION. FIRST, I WANT TO START BY SAYING THAT THERE ARE TWO PAR OF THIS ACTION THAT WOULD BE BEFORE YOU TODAY. ONE PART OF THE ACTION IS THE FUNDING PORTION OF THE ACTION.

1284
07:17:36.216 --> 07:17:53.616
THIS IS NEEDED BECAUSE WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO BUY THE SITE THAT THE COMMISSIONER TOLD YOU ABOUT EARLY ON IN THE PRESENTATION. THAT IS OF COURSE SOMEWHAT OF A LIMITED WINDOW OF BEING ABLE TO BUY THIS UNIQUE

1285
07:17:53.616 --> 07:18:10.750
SITE FOR THIS PURPOSE. SO, TO GET THERE, WE DO NEED A REALLOCATION OF CAPITAL DOLLARS AND THE PROPOSAL RIGHT NOW, ALTHOUGH I WILL SAY WE ARE LISTENING HARD TO ALL OF YOU AND TRYING TO FIND A WAY TO GET TO

1286
07:18:10.750 --> 07:18:26.850
YES ON THEOLLAR AMOUNT. THE FIRST PORTION OF THIS IS A LITTLE OVER 3.7 MILLION FROM ANIMAL CARE AND CONTROL. THIS IS ALL FROM PREVIOUS AND CURRENT BOND AUTHORITY. THE REASON FOR

1287
07:18:26.850 --> 07:18:43.566
THIS IS THAT WE ARE MOVING VERY QUICKLY TO THE REALIZATION THAT WE NEED TO PLAN FOR NEW ANIMAL CARE AND CONTROL FACILITY, NOT KEEP PUTTING MONEY INTO THE CURRENT ONE, WHICH IS UNDERSIZED FOR WHAT WE'RE DOING, FOR THE

1288
07:18:43.566 --> 07:19:00.883
NUMBER OF ANIMALS WE'RE SEEING, FOR THE TYPE OF RESCUES WE HAVE, AS WELL AS FOR THE ADOPTION SERVICES. SO, THIS WAS ALL MONEY PLANNED FOR THAT PURPOSE AND WE THINK THAT IT IS FOR RIGHT NOW A

1289
07:19:00.883 --> 07:19:20.366
BETTER USE TO GO INTO THIS SITE ACQUISITION. THE SECOND IS NEIGHBORHOOD TRAFFIC CALMING. I WANT TO SAY ABOUT THIS THAT YOU KNOW, IT IS A REDUCTION FROM THE BUDGET ITEM TR022. THAT ITEM

1290
07:19:20.366 --> 07:19:36.550
WILL STILL HAVE ALMOST $6 MILLION IN IT FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD TRAFFIC CALMING PROGRA SHOULD YOU TAKE ACTION ON THIS PROPOSAL. THIS IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE WE DO THAT

1291
07:19:36.550 --> 07:19:52.016
ORIGINAL AMENDMENT DID TAKE FROM THIS PROJECT. SO THAT IS WHY THE CHOICE OF THIS RIGHT NOW, BUT AGAIN I WANT TO ITERATE, WE ARE TRYING TO GET TO YES WITH ALL OF YOU SO WE WILL CONTINUE TO KEEP WORKING ON THE SOURCE. THAT WOULALLOW US TO HAVE THE

1292
07:19:52.016 --> 07:20:09.750
DOLLARS FOR THE CLOSING COST AT 146 60TH STREET WEST. THE PURCHASE PRICE IS $6 MILLION AND THERE IS A CLOSING COST OF $100,000. I DO WANT TO GO OVER JUST BRIEFLY A BIT OF A BACKGROUND ON THE CAPITAL

1293
07:20:09.750 --> 07:20:26.916
BUDGET. THE CAPITAL BUDGET FOR THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS, THE 6-YEAR PLAN IS $1.76 BILLION. THIS YEAR ALONE, THE CAPITAL BUDGET IS $368 MILLION. VESTMENTS IN ALL SORTS OF

1294
07:20:26.916 --> 07:20:41.750
THINGS ACROSS THE CITY, CERTAINLY IMPROVEMES FOR RESIDENTS AND THINGS LIKE PAVEMENT IMPROVEMENTS, BUT ALSO A NUMBER OF OTHER THINGS THAT ARE IN THE PROJECT. 123 PROJECTS ARE COVERED BY THIS IN THIS

1295
07:20:41.750 --> 07:20:58.416
YEAR'S CAPITAL BUDGET AND THIS DOES GOING FORWARD IN '27 AND '28 INCLUDE MORE RESOURCES FOR THE COMMUNITY TRAINING AND WELLNESS CENTER. THE GAP IS REALLY IN 2026 FOR THE LAND

1296
07:20:58.416 --> 07:21:14.350
PURCHASE, WHICH IS WHY WE ARE HERE. THIS IS LEVY-FUNDED DEBT. THIS IS BT. THIS CANNOT BE

1297
07:21:14.350 --> 07:21:30.616
USED IN REAL-TIME FOR ANY OTHER PURPOSE. I HEARD THE PRESENTATION FOR THE BUSINSES AND COMMUNITY. THIS MONEY WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR THAT BECAUSE THIS IS DONE BY CAPITAL FUNDS, CAPIT FUNDS ARE VERY

1298
07:21:30.616 --> 07:21:47.683
STRICTLY RESTRICTED, BOTH IN THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS AND THE STATE OF MINNESOTA IN TERMS OF WHAT THEY CAN BE SPENT ON. SO THE LAND ACQUISITION IS SOMETHING THAT CAN HAPPEN RE. I AM GOING TO HAVE DIRECTOR O'BRIEN COME UP, WHO IS GOING TO TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT

1299
07:21:47.683 --> 07:22:04.483
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, AS WELL AS THE PROJECT TIMELINE.

1300
07:22:04.483 --> 07:22:21.550
>> WELCOME DIRECTORO'BRIEN. >> GOOD AFTERNOON CHAIR CHOWDHURY, COUNCIL MEMBERS, I'M BARBARA O'BRIEN, THE DIRECTOR OF PROPERTYSERVICES. SHOWING NOW IS A DEMONSTRATION OF THE

1301
07:22:21.550 --> 07:22:36.583
ANTICIPATED TIMELINE FOR THE PROPOSED PROJECT. IN 2021, THIS PROJECT WAS ADDED TO THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN AS A MULTIDISCIPLINE ACROSS DEPARTMENTAL TRAINING CENTER.

1302
07:22:36.583 --> 07:22:53.750
SINCE 2021, THE SCOPE INTENT INCLUDED FIRE, POLICE, 9-1-1, AND E.M.T. TRAINING A WELLNESS SPACE. THE MDHS SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT WAS APPROVED BY CITY

1303
07:22:53.750 --> 07:23:09.616
COUNCIL IN 2023. FOLLOWING THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT COMPRENSIVE FACILITY ASSESSMENTS WERE COMPLETE. THE FINDINGS OF THESE ASSESSMENTS IDENTIFIED VARIOUS SHORTFALLS IN SPACES DEDICATED TO TRAINING AND

1304
07:23:09.616 --> 07:23:26.950
WELLNESS THROUGHOUT OUR PORTFOLIO. FUNDING WAS MADE AVAILABLE FOR PRE-DESIGNED WORK AND TE CRITERIA IN 2025. A SITE SEARCH RESULTED IN

1305
07:23:26.950 --> 07:23:43.450
SUCCESSFULLY IDENTIFYING A PROPOSED SITE, WHICH WE ARE ADVANCING FOR COUNCIL DECISION TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT. SHOULD THE PURCHA AGREEMENT SHOULD BE SUPPORTED, WE ANTICIPATE THAT THE CITY MOVING FORWARD THROUGH

1306
07:23:43.450 --> 07:24:01.383
DUE DILIGENCE PHASE THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER AND A FINAL CLOSING ON THE PROPERTY IN AUGUST OF THIS YEAR. OUR PROJECTIONS HAVE A CONTRACT FOR DESIGN TO BE BROUGHT FORWARD IN LATE 2026. CONSTRUCTION ESTIMATED TO START

1307
07:24:01.383 --> 07:24:17.650
IN 2027, AND THE OPENING OF THE MINNEAPOLIS TRAINING AND WELLNESS CENTER FORECASTED TO OCCUR LATE IN 2029 OR EARLY 2030. THE PROPOSED ACQUISITION

1308
07:24:17.650 --> 07:24:36.383
SITE IS LOCATED AT 146 60TH STREET WEST. THIS PROPERTY IS 4.77 ACRES. IT IS ZONED APPROPRIATELY FOR THE INTENDED

1309
07:24:36.383 --> 07:24:52.216
USE. IT ISUTSIDE OF RESIDENTIAL DENSITIES AND NEAR MAJOR THOROUGHFARES FOR ACCESS EASE. THIS SLIDE DEMONSTRATES THE CURRENT CONDITION OF THE

1310
07:24:52.216 --> 07:25:08.516
PROPOSED SITE. THERE IS ONE FACILITY ON THE PROPERTY, WHILE THE MAJORITY OF THE SITE IS OPEN. OUR PROPOSED USE, A COMMUNITY SAFETY AND TRAINING WELLNESS CENTER WL BE AN IMPROVEMENT TO THE SITE.

1311
07:25:08.516 --> 07:25:24.983
ACTIVATING THIS SITE WILL INCLUDE GREENING THE CORDOR WITH BOULEVARD TREES AND PLANTS, WELL LIT CORRIDORS, AS WELL AS A FACILITY THAT IS DESIGNED AND BUILT TO GREEN BUILDING STANDARDS AND EFFICIENCIES. THE

1312
07:25:24.983 --> 07:25:42.716
CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS IS COMMITTED TO OWNING AND OPERATING HIGH-QUALITY FACILITIES AND BEING GOOD NEIGHBORS WHIN THE

1313
07:25:42.716 --> 07:25:58.783
COMMUNITY. >> I AM GOING TO TALK ABOUT COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. SO, MARCH 10th THERE WAS SURROUNDING BUSINESS AND RESIDENT MEETING, OVER 2,400 MAILERS WERE MAILED OUT TO THE AREA. THAT IS THE

1314
07:25:58.783 --> 07:26:16.183
TYPICAL RADIUS FOR US IN A PROJECT LIKE THIS. 15 PEOPLE FROM THE IMMEDIATE AREA COMMUNITY DI ATTEND THAT SESSION. ON MARCH 12th, THERE WAS A MEETING OF THE WYNDHAM COMMUNITY COUNCIL, AND THE

1315
07:26:16.183 --> 07:26:31.083
WYNDHAM COMMUNITY COUNCIL DID INCLUDE AND I THINK YOU ALL HAVE THIS, A LETTER OF SUPPORT FOR THE PROJECT THAT SHOULD BE IN LIMS TODAY THAT I WOULD LIKE TO DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO. THEY SAY

1316
07:26:31.083 --> 07:26:46.916
IN THIS THAT TY ARE EXCITED AND SUPPORTIVE OF THE PROJECT COMING TO THE WINDOM NEIGHBORHOOD, AND I THINK THAT IS IMPORTANT. NCR, OCS, AND PROPERTY SERVICE ALL

1317
07:26:46.916 --> 07:27:03.283
PARTICIPATED IN THESE COMMUNITY INFORMATIO SESSIONS. THERE WAS A FAQ THAT WAS CREATED OUT OF THE QUESTIONS THAT PEOPLE DID BRING UP AND I BELIEVE THAT IS ALSO POSTED IN LIMS. SO I WANT

1318
07:27:03.283 --> 07:27:21.650
TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE AWARE OF THAT WORK. FINALLY, YOU KNOW, WHY NOW? WHY RIGHT NOW? THIS IS BECAUSE THIS IS A RARE OPPORTUNITY OF A SITE. WE DON'T GET THESE OPPORTUNITIES VERY OFTEN IN THE CITY TO HAVE A SITE

1319
07:27:21.650 --> 07:27:38.916
THIS LARGE IN AN AREA THAT IS ZONED COMMERCIAL. IT HAS BEEN A PROJECT, AS YOU HEARD FROM DIRECTOR BARBARA O'BRIEN, THAT HAS BEEN IN QUEUE FOR QUITE A LONG TIME. THEN OF COURSE THE LONG-TERM FINANCIAL BENEFITS OF

1320
07:27:38.916 --> 07:27:56.950
BEING ABLE TO HAVE THE TRAINING ALL-IN-ONE PLACE UNDER OUR OWN ROOF THAT WE CONTROL, THAT WE CAN DO A NUMBER OF THINGS WITH, COST SAVINGS FROM THE DIVESTMENT IN THEEASE FOR FIRE, E.A.P.,

1321
07:27:56.950 --> 07:28:12.350
AS WELL AS THE S.O.C. LEASE. THERE ARE PROBABLY OTHER COST SAVINGS THAT WE CAN ENUMERATE, AND THEN IT BUILDS ON THE ASSESSMENT PLAN AND THE WELLNESS PLAN, AS WELL AS THE BUILDING

1322
07:28:12.350 --> 07:28:30.250
PLAN THAT HAS BEEN DONE FOR POLICE, AND ALSO THE BENEFITS FOR FIRE, 9-1-1, EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AS WELL.E STILL HOPE THAT THE STATE WILL INVEST IN THIS. THEY HAVE INVESTED IN, WHEN YOU HEARD MR. MILLER'S

1323
07:28:30.250 --> 07:28:46.083
PRESENTATION, I BELIEVE THEY INVESTED IN EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THOSE PROPERTIES. I ACTUALLY DID SOME MATH ON MR. MILLER'S PRESENTAON. ANYWHERE FROM 63% OF THE COST ALL THE WAY DOWN TO SOMETHING LIKE 16% OF THE COST.

1324
07:28:46.083 --> 07:29:02.783
SO THERE IS A STRONG HISTORY IN THE STATE OF MINSOTA TO PARTICIPATE IN THESE SORTS OF PROJECTS. I THINK BEING ABLE T SAY THAT WE HAVE A SITE IS A REALLY IMPORTANT PART OF BEING ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD. I BELIEVE THAT CCLUDES OUR FORMAL

1325
07:29:02.783 --> 07:29:19.216
PRESENTATION AND WE WILL STAND FOR QUESTIONS. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE PRESENTATION. I WILL FIRST GO TO COUNCIL MEMBER PALMISANO. >> COLLEAGUES, YOU MIGHT HAVE

1326
07:29:19.216 --> 07:29:36.650
SEEN IN FRONT OF YOU AND IN AN E-MAIL THIS MORNING FROM THE CLERK TO USE A DIFFERENT PUBLIC WORKS FUNDING SOURCE. AFTER CONVERSATIONS AND CONCERNS FROM COLLEAGUES ABOUT THISRIGINAL FUNDING SOURCE, THAT WAS AN IDEA SUGGESTED IN RESPONSE TO TSE

1327
07:29:36.650 --> 07:29:52.950
CONCERNS BUT I WANT TO BE CLEAR THAT IS NOT THE PROPOSAL BEFORE FORWARD WITH RIGHT NOW. STAFF ARE BENDING OVER BACKWARDS TO FIND A WAY TO ACCOMMODATE RESERVATIONS THAT YOU BROUGHT UP THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS. I

1328
07:29:52.950 --> 07:30:07.883
APPRECIATE THAT, EVEN IF IT'S A LITTLE CONFUSING. SO, ON THE ORIGINAL FDING PROPOSAL THAT STAFF ARE STILL WORKING ON IMPROVING, THAT IS WHAT I AM GOING TO SPEAK ON HERE. WE'VE SPENT THE PAST 7 YEARS MAKING

1329
07:30:07.883 --> 07:30:25.783
STEADY PROGRESS ON IT, MAY NOT YOU BECAUSE YOU WEREN'T ELECTED DURING THAT TIME, BUT WE HE BEEN DOING THIS FOR 7 YEARS. LAST YEAR, THIS BODY UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED THE CENTER AS OUR TOP PRIORITY BONDING ASK FOR STATE FINANCIAL SUPPORT. WE KNOW OUR

1330
07:30:25.783 --> 07:30:42.150
CURRENT FACILITIES FOR FIRST RESPONDER TRAINING AND WELLNESS ARE INADEQUATE. THIS IS PERSOL TO ME. I STARTED WORKING ON THIS IN 2018 AND FINALLY UNANIMOUSLY GOT IT INTO THE CAPITAL BUDGETING PROCESS MANY YEARS

1331
07:30:42.150 --> 07:30:59.383
AGO. THIS PROJECT HAS GROWN AND CHANGED OVER TIME AND THAT'S A GOOD THING. WE ALL WANT BETTER OUTCOME FROM THE POLICE AND BROADER DEFINITION OF PUBLIC SAFETY OVERALL. I THINK WE ALL SHARE THE SAME REFORM GOALS, BUT THOSE CAN'T BE ACHIEVED UNLESS

1332
07:30:59.383 --> 07:31:17.050
ALL OF OUR FIRST RESPONDERS ARE WELL AND WELL TRAINED. IMPORTANTLY, SOME O THE ARGUMENTS I HAVE HEARD AGAINST THIS INVESTMENT ARE DOWNRIGHT DISINGENUOUS. ONE, THIS IS NOT A COP CITY. THIS IS INCLUSIVE OF MANY DEPARTMENTS, POLICE, FIRE,

1333
07:31:17.050 --> 07:31:34.083
BEHAVIORALRISIS RESPONSE, 9-1-1, AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT. I HOPE YOU HEARD THAT DING THE STUDY SESSION AND TODAY. THIS TRAINING FACILITY IS PART OF OUR COMPREHENSIVE COORDINATED PUBLIC SAFETY ECOSYSTEM. THE C.O.O. ALREADY SAID THIS. THIS IS MY

1334
07:31:34.083 --> 07:31:49.750
NUMBER TWO, THAT THIS MONEY CAN'T BE USED FOR RECOVERY OPERATION METRO SURGE. IT CANNOT BE USED THAT WAY. A VOTE AGAINST THIS IS A VOTE AGAINST A SLOW AND STEADY JOURNEY OF POLICE REFORM THAT WE EMBARKED ON AS A

1335
07:31:49.750 --> 07:32:06.783
CITY IN 2020 AND A PRIORITY I T PROFESSED TO SHARE. THIS PROJECT HAS CHANGED TO REFLECT THAT. IT DID BEGIN EXCLUSIVELY AS A POLICE TRAINING AND WELLNESS FACILITY. IT WAS REIMAGINED TO SOMETHING MUCH BIGGER OR BROADER

1336
07:32:06.783 --> 07:32:22.750
RATHER AFTER THE MURDER OF GEORGE FLOYD. POLICE REFORM IS NOT JUST A CAMPAIGN TALKING POINT, IF WE ARE SERIOUS, IT REQUIRES INVESTMENT AND TRAINING AND THE LONGER WE WAIT, THE MORE EXPENSIVE IT IS AND THE HIGHER THE COST OF NOT HAVING IT TO THE

1337
07:32:22.750 --> 07:32:38.950
COMMUNITY THAT WE ALL SERVE. THAT ISHAT THIS IS ABOUT AND THAT IS WHAT THIS STEP IS ABOUT. AFTER 7 YEARS OF WORKING ON THIS PROJECT, STARTING WITH A BONDING TOUR THAT I ALMOS PERSONALLY GAVE THAT PRESENTATION BACK IN

1338
07:32:38.950 --> 07:32:55.250
2019 UP AT THE EOTF, IT'S A REALLY BIG DEAL THAT WE'RE HERE TODAY. THE MOTION IS AUTHORITY TO PURCHASE THIS PROPERTY, THE PROPERTY LISTED IN THE AGENDA AND THE PURCHASE PRICE IS

1339
07:32:55.250 --> 07:33:12.516
$6.1 MILLION. I MUST CLARIFY AS I HAVE NEEDED TO EVERYDAY, WE'RE NOT ASKING FOR $40 MILLION IN CITY FUNDS, IT WILL EVENTUALLY TOTAL $19 MILLION FROM THE CITY AND IT WILL TAKE A COUPLE YEARS TO GET THE REST OF THAT MONEY FROM THE STATE. I WILL SAY, WE

1340
07:33:12.516 --> 07:33:30.966
FINALLY, AFTER YEARS HAV A SITE TO SECURE THAT WORKS, AND WE HAVE A MODERN LEADING EDGE PROPOSAL. ALL THAT SAID, KNOWING THAT ENOUGH OF YOU ARE NOT YET READY FOR THIS WITH THE FUNDING AS YOU HAVE SUGGESTED, OR AS

1341
07:33:30.966 --> 07:33:47.700
STAFF HAD SUGGESTED, WE HAVE A LITTLE MORE WORK TO DO. TO THAT END, ISK THAT WE MOVE THIS FORWARD WITHOUT RECOMMENDATION TO THURSDAY TO SEE WHERE WE LAND. THANK YOU. >> SECOND. >> WE HAVE A MOTION TO FORWARD THAT RECOMMENDATION AND A

1342
07:33:47.700 --> 07:34:03.700
SECOND, SO THAT IS BEFORE US. WE WILL GO TO COUNCIL MEMBER STEVENSON. >> THANK YOU. A FEW THINGS, WE'RE IN AITUATION NOW WHERE WE ARE HAVING TO DECIDE WHAT IS IMPORTANT IN OUR BUDGET. WHERE

1343
07:34:03.700 --> 07:34:22.866
DO WE WANT TOPEND OUR MONEY AS WE SEE REVENUE GO DOWN AND WE SEE OUR EXPENSES GOING UP. SO WE'RE DECIDING WHAT IS IMPORTANT FOR US TO SPEND ON AND WHAT IS A SECONDARY THING, A WANT RATHER THAN A NEED. SO THIS PROPOSAL

1344
07:34:22.866 --> 07:34:41.400
HAS NOT BEEN RECOMMENDED TO US. THEY ALLOCATED $0 FOR IT THIS YEAR AND NEXT YEAR. OUR STATE PARTNERS HAVE BEEN PRETTY CLEAR WITH US THAT THEY DO NOT SEE THIS AS A PRIORITY EITHER AND THEY ARE NOT WANTING TO GO TO THE MAT TO GET MONEY FOR THIS

1345
07:34:41.400 --> 07:34:57.933
PROJECT. FRANKLY, THE COMMUNITY HAS BEEN EXTREMELY CLEAR WITH ME AND MANY OTHERS THAT THIS IS NOT WHERE THEY WANT TO SEE THEIR DOLLARS GO. IN MY MMUNITY, WE ARE LIVE AND BREATHE THIS CONVERSATION OF REFORM, OF

1346
07:34:57.933 --> 07:35:14.366
INVESTMENT EVERY SINGLE DAY IN GEORGE FLOYD SQUARE. WE WANT TO KNOW WHEN INVESTMENT WILL GO IN IS A SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT GNG TO BENEFIT A COMMUNITY THAT WAS HARMED THE MOST BY THE MURDER OF GEORGE FLOYD? SO, HERE WE ARE,

1347
07:35:14.366 --> 07:35:30.033
WE'RE ASKING OURSELVES IS THIS WHERE WE NEED TO PUT OUR MONEY AT THIS EXACT MOMENT? THE COMMUNITY RESPONSE TO ME IS A RESOUNDING NO. THIS IS NOT THE PRIORITY. WE HAVE OTHER PRIORITIES. THEY ARE INVESTING IN GEORGE FLOYD SQUARE. THEY'RE

1348
07:35:30.033 --> 07:35:45.466
INVESTING IN THE NICOLLET PROJECT. THEY'RE INVESTING IN VACANT LOTS ALL ACROSS THE CITY. THEY'RE REPLACING THE FIRE STATIONS THAT HAVE MOLD AND ARE CRUMBLING BEFORE US. WE HAVE SO, SO MANY PRIORITIES IN THIS CITY.

1349
07:35:45.466 --> 07:36:01.100
THIS SIMPLY DOES NOT RISE T THE TOP. IT DOESN'T RISE TO THE LEVEL WHERE WE NEED TO GO OUT OF OUR REGULAR BUDGETING CYCLE. WE NEED TODEFUND OTHER PROGRAMS THAT WILL DIRECTLY SAVE LIVES IN MINNPOLIS. THIS IS JUST NOT

1350
07:36:01.100 --> 07:36:16.400
THE PRIORITY THAT NEEDS US TO DO ALL OF THESE EXTRAORDINARY THINGS IN ORDER FOR US TO MOVE IT FORWARD. LASTLY, I JUST LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT WE NEED TO BE INVESTING IN PROJECTS THAT ARE GOING TO INCREASE THE VIBRANCY,

1351
07:36:16.400 --> 07:36:33.566
SATY, AND TAX-BASE OF THIS CITY. MOVING FORWARD WITH THIS PROJECT IS MOVG FORWARD WITH AN ADDITIONAL FINANCIAL LIABILITY THAT IS NOT GOING TO IMPROVE THE SAFETY AND THE VIBRANCY OF THIS CITY. SO, I LL BE SUPPORTING FORWARDING THIS WITHOUT RECOMMENDATION.

1352
07:36:33.566 --> 07:36:49.166
THANK YOU. >> NEXT WE HAVE COUNCIL MEMBER RAINVILLE. >>HANK YOU. WELL, I SEE IT A LOT DIFFERENTLY THAN YOU DO. I THINK PUBLIC SAFETY IS THE NUMBER ONE NEED AND WANT IN OUR COMMUNITY. I HAVE A COUPLE QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS. COULD

1353
07:36:49.166 --> 07:37:06.666
SOMEONE ANSWER ME AFTER THE SHOOTING, HOW MANY OF OUR STAFF SOUGHT HELP AFTER EXPERIENCING THAT HORROR OF HELPING THOSE POOR CHILDREN THAT WERE SHOT? FIRE, POLICE, 9-1-1, HOW MANY PEOPLE ASKED FOR HELP?

1354
07:37:06.666 --> 07:37:23.900
>> HELLO. SO THROU THE CHAIR, COUNCIL MEMBER, I CAN ONLY SPEAK TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. I CAN'T SPEAK TO ANY OF THE OTHER AGENCIES BUT PARTNERING, LOOKING AT OUR PARTNER AGENCY WELLNESS THAT PROVIDES THE MENTAL HEALTH, WITHIN THE FIRST -- I SHOULD SAY

1355
07:37:23.900 --> 07:37:40.033
WITHIN THE FIRSTONTH OF US STARTING TO TRACK IT WHICH WAS JANUARY 2026, IT WAS 78 PEOPLE I BELIEVE REACHED OUT FOR INDIVIDUAL THERAP IMMEDIATELY AFTER ENUNCIATION WITHIN OUR OWN UNIT, IN TERMS OF PHONE AND

1356
07:37:40.033 --> 07:37:57.633
IN-PERSON CHECK INS, IT WA AROUND 120-PLUS. I COULD GET YOU THE ACCURATE NUMBER BUT I DON'T WANT TO OVER ESTIMATE IT. >> SURE, I BELIEVE IN AN EARLIER PRESENTATION, YOU SAID THERE WAS NO FACILITY. YOU HAD TO SPREAD IT OUT. THERE WASN'T THE PRIVACY THAT WAS NEEDED FOR THIS BECAUSE

1357
07:37:57.633 --> 07:38:14.300
WE DIDN'T HAVE THE FACILITY. >> CORRECT, SO AGAIN THROUGH THE CHAIR, COUNCIL MEMBER RAINVILLE, YES. SO ON THE DAY OF, WE WERE ABLE TO PARTNER WITH STARBUCKS ACTUALLY AND THEY LENT US THEIR BASEMENT. WE WERE ABLE TO USE

1358
07:38:14.300 --> 07:38:30.333
THE BASEMENT OF THAT FACILITY TO HOST THE CRITICAL INCIDENT DEBRIEFING THAT HAPPENED RIGHT TER. IN TERMS OF THE FURTHER DEBRIEFINGS THAT WERE OFFERED 48 TO 72 HOURS AFTER, WE HOSTED THOSE AT THE S.O.C. SO I HAD TO

1359
07:38:30.333 --> 07:38:47.066
COORDINATE WITH COMMANDER BROWN TO RESERVE THAT SPACE THA WAS NECESSARY AND WE HELD SEVERAL DIFFERENT OPTIONS SO MAXIMUM PEOPLE COULD ATTE. I SHOULD ALSO SAY IN THOSE DEBRIEFINGS THAT WERE 48 TO 72 HOURS AFTER, THEY WERE INTERDEPARTMENTAL. SO WE WORKED WITH FIRE WE WORKED

1360
07:38:47.066 --> 07:39:05.833
WITH E.M.S. TO HAVE COMPREHENSIVE DEBRIEFINGS AND PSYCHOLOGICAL SUPPORT. >> THANK YOU, I APPRECIATE THAT. I HAVE A QUESTION, COMMANDER BROWN, YOU TALKED ABOUT WHAT IT COSTS TO RUN THE SUBSTANDARD FACILITY, WITH THE RENT AND UTILITIES, IT'S ABOUT $MILLION

1361
07:39:05.833 --> 07:39:23.966
A YEAR. IS THAT CORRECT? >> CHAIR CHOWDHURY AND COUNCIL MEMBER RAINVILLE, ACTUALLY I DIDN'T SPEAK TO THE COST. >> OKAY, I AM SORRY. WHO SPOKE TO THE ST? COMMANDER BROWN, YOU ARE SUCH A COMPELLING SPEAKER, I THINK YOU ARE ALWAYS A SOURCE OF KNOWLEDGE.

1362
07:39:23.966 --> 07:39:40.300
>> I CAN SPEAK TO WHAT WAS IN THE THING EARLIER. >> CERTAINLY THROUGH CHAIR CHOWDHURY, COUNCIL MEMBER RAINVILLE, A MEMO WAS SHARED WITH COUNSEL MEMBERS EARLIER THIS MONTH THAT OUTLINED THE

1363
07:39:40.300 --> 07:39:57.700
GENERAL COSTING FOR THE OPERATIONS AT THE FACILITY. IT IS 1 MILLION, 98 THOUSAND, $375.02 ANNUALLY.

1364
07:39:57.700 --> 07:40:14.200
>> GREAT, THAT'S MONEYE DON'T SEE ANY RETURN ON. IT'S PAID OFF. >> THAT'S CORRECT. IT'S OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE, BUILDING LEASE, IT'S THE PARKING LEASE, THERE IS A SMALL PARKING LOT THAT WE LEASE, THAT IS UTILITIES, THAT IS GROUND MAINTENANCE, THAT IS CUSTODIAL

1365
07:40:14.200 --> 07:40:33.466
AND CLEANING. SO IT IS A NON-RETURNABLE INVESTMENT. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I HAVE ONE LAST QUESTION. I DON'T KNOW WHO WOULD BE BEST TO ANSWER, PERHAPS THE C.O.O. SO IF WE DID NOT SECURE STATE FUNDING, WE

1366
07:40:33.466 --> 07:40:52.633
STILL HAVE OPTIONS ON THIS LAND, CORRECT? WE DON'T HAVE TO -- WE'RE NOT OBLIGATED TO BUILD THIS FACILITY THERE, WE'RE JUST USING THIS TO SHOW THE STATE THAT WE'RE SERIOUS ABOUT THIS AND TO ENTICE THEM FURTHER INTO GING US FUNDING.

1367
07:40:52.633 --> 07:41:08.500
>> CHAIR CHOWDHURY, COUNCIL MEMBER RAINVILLE, I THINK I WOULD MAYBE PHRASE IT A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY IN THAT WE ARE -- THIS IS A COMMITMENT TO BUY THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY AND

1368
07:41:08.500 --> 07:41:26.933
IT DOES SHOW THE STATE THAT WE'RE SERIOUS ABOUT THIS. THIS IS CALLED SITE CONTROL IN THE LEXICON OF STATE BOING. HAVING SITE CONTROL IS ALWAYS IMPORTANT FOR WHAT THETATE FEELS THAT AN ENTITY CAN GET DONE. AS COUNCIL

1369
07:41:26.933 --> 07:41:45.700
MEMBER PALMISANO MENTIONED, IT MAY TAKE US A COUPLE YEARS AT THIS. NOW, LE I SAID, OF ALL OF THE PRESENTATIONS OF . MILLER, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THE MINNESOTA FACILITIES HE MENTNED HAS STATE DOLLARS IN IT. ANYWHERE FROM AGAIN 16% TO A

1370
07:41:45.700 --> 07:42:05.166
WHOPPING 63%, I KNOW WHO DID THAT. YOU KNOW, THEY HAD 63% OF THEIR COST COVERED BY THE STATE. THAT IS REALLY IMPORTANT TO ACTUALLY WHAT COUNCIL MEMBER STEVENSON WAS SAYING ABOUT WHAT THE BDEN IS ON MINNEAPOLIS. SO

1371
07:42:05.166 --> 07:42:21.800
THAT'S WHY IT IS SO IMPORTANT THAT WE GET SITE CONTROL AND WE GO BACK AT THIS AND GO TO THE STATE, HAND IN HAND, AND WORK ON THIS. >> THANK YOU. THAT'S ALL. >> COUNCIL MEMBER VETAW.

1372
07:42:21.800 --> 07:42:38.133
>> THANK YOU CHAIR.COLLEAGUES, YOU KNOW LAST YEAR WHEN WE VOTED TO MAKE THIS THE NUMBER ONE PRIORITY IN OUR BONDING BILL, I REALLY THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO BE MOVIN FORWARD ON THIS ITEM. YOU ALL KNOW THAT IT IS IMPORTANT TO ME BECAUSE THESE

1373
07:42:38.133 --> 07:42:53.700
FACILITIES, TWO OF THESE TRAINING FACILITIES ARE IN NORTH MINNEAPOLIS. I GUESS I AM KIND GROWING TIRED OF US AS A BODY TALKING ABOUT HOW UNDERSERVED NORTH MINNEAPOLIS IS, YET WE'RE DOING NOTHING TO HELP CHANGE

1374
07:42:53.700 --> 07:43:10.166
THAT. I VOTED IN SUPPORT OF A LOT OF MY COLLEAGUES WITH -- I MEAN IN PARTICULAR, THE THIRD PRECINCT THAT JUST PASSED EARLIER TODAY, I THOUGHT IT SHOULD GO IN THE OLD BUILDING, BUT COLLEAGUES TUGHT YOU KNOW, THE COMMUNITY STEPPED UP AND THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T WANT IT IN

1375
07:43:10.166 --> 07:43:25.000
THE OL BUILDING. THEY WANTED SOMETHING NEW AND THAT HAPPENED. I'M ASKING FOR FOLKS TO DO THE SAME THING FOR THE NORTH SIDE. WE STOOD ON THE SIDELINES AND WATCHED THE SOUTH SIDE GET SO MUCH SUPPORT AROUND WHAT THEY NEED AND THIS IS THE ONE OPPORTUNITY WHERE THE NORTH SIDE

1376
07:43:25.000 --> 07:43:41.633
COULD GET THE SAME. I KNOW I AM ONLY ONE VOTE, BUT MY VOTE CERTAINLY MATTERS WHEN IT COMES TO THE SOUTH SIDE GETTING THE RESOURCES THEY NEED. SO I AM REALLY GROWING TIRED OF THIS CONVERSATION OF GOING BACK AND FORTH, WHEN THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY IS SAYING JUST LIKE THE SOUTH

1377
07:43:41.633 --> 07:43:58.666
SIDE COMMUNITY SAID, WE DON'T WANT A TRAINING CENTER OUTSIDE OF OUR FRONT DOOR. WE DON'T WANT LOUD NOISE AT 6:30 IN THE MORNING BECAUSE OFFICERS ARE TRAINING OUTSIDE OF OUR FRONT DOORS. WE DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO EXPLAIN TO OUR CHILDREN WHAT IS

1378
07:43:58.666 --> 07:44:15.733
HAPPENING. I USUALLY KNOW WHEN TRAINING IS HAPPENING BECAUSE MY PHONE IS BLOWING UP. OFFICE CELL ONE, E-MAILS, EVERYTHING. SO I AM JUST ASKING FOR SOME SUPPORT HERE AND SUPPORT THAT YOU ALREADY COMMITTED TO. WE ALREADY SAID WE ARE GOING TO DO THIS AS

1379
07:44:15.733 --> 07:44:31.500
A BODY AND NOW EVERYONE IS LIKE WELL, I DON'T WANT TO DO IT ANYMORE. I WAS ALREADY, YOU KNOW, JUST KIND OF BLINDSIDED B PROJECT AT THE END OF LAST YEAR IN THE BUDGET AFTER A COMMITMENT TO MAKE THIS A PRIORITY AND THEN

1380
07:44:31.500 --> 07:44:48.600
TOLD BY SOME COUNCIL MEMBERS, WELL, YOU KNOW, WE TOOK THAT 500-0000 BUT IT IS OUR NUMBER ONE LEGISLATIVE PRRITY. NOW WE'RE SAYING IT'S NOT A PRIORITY ANYMORE. I MEAN A VOTE AGAINST THIS IS REALLY VOTE AGAINST THE NORTH SIDE. IT'S REALLY SAYING WE DON'T MATTER TO THIS

1381
07:44:48.600 --> 07:45:04.400
CITY LIKE OTHER PLACES DO BECAUSE I CERTAINLY BELIEVE THAT IFHIS TRAINING FACILITY WAS IN SPECIFIC WARDS IN THIS CITY, IT WOULD HAVE BEE MOVED. THIS COUNCIL WOULD HAVE BEMADE THE

1382
07:45:04.400 --> 07:45:19.633
NECESSARY MOVES TO GET IT OUT OF CERTAIN WARDS SO THEIR CONSTITUENTS DON'T HAVE TOOOK AT IT. WE MATTER ON THE NORTH SIDE. IT'S TIME FOR US TO PUT UP THE MONEY AND SHOW THE NORTH SIDE THAT WE CARE ABOUT THEM

1383
07:45:19.633 --> 07:45:37.133
TOO. IT REALLY IS LONG OVERDUE. EVEN THE FOURTH PRECINCT. I'VE BEEN SITTING HERE FOR FOUR YEARS SAYING WE'RE GOING TO WAIT FOR OUR TURN. THE SOUTH SIDE GETS SO MANY THINGS. THE SOUTH SIDE SAFETY CENTER. NEW PRECINCT. THE OLD PRECINCT BUILDING IS GOING

1384
07:45:37.133 --> 07:45:52.400
TO BE THE DEMOCRACY CENTER. ALL ESE THINGS AND WE'RE WAITING AND THEN WHEN WE'RE UP, NOW IT'S LIKE OH NO, WE CAT DO THIS. THIS I NOT A COP CITY, IT'S A COP CORNER STORE COMPARED TO COP

1385
07:45:52.400 --> 07:46:11.633
CI. COP CITY IS 85 ACRES. THE CURRENT FACILITY IS ON A CITY BLOCK. IT'S IN A SCHOOL, AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL THAT PEOPLE WHO LIVE ACROSS THE STREET FROM IT REMEMBER THEIR KIDS GOING TO SCHOOL THERE. NOW IS -- I MEAN

1386
07:46:11.633 --> 07:46:29.000
IF WHAT WE'RE BUILDING IS COP CITY, SO IS THE FACILITY THAT IS IN WARD 4 RIGHT NOW. HOW IS IT OKAY FOR US TO CURRENTLY HAVE A COP CITY? GET COP CITY OUT OF WARD 4 THEN. LET'S FOLK ON THAT. IF THE NEW FACILITY IS COP CITY,

1387
07:46:29.000 --> 07:46:45.433
SO IS THE CURRENT FACILITY. CAN WE MAKE A COMMITMENT TO GET COP CITY OUT OF WARD 4? WE'RE TIRED OF IT. WE HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR IT TO BE MOVED FOR YEARS, WAY BEFORE ME, PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR IT TO GO AWAY. THE

1388
07:46:45.433 --> 07:47:02.700
OTHER FACILITIES IN THE PRECINCT, IF YOU'R NOT FAMILIAR, THE PRECINCT USE TO BE A COMMUNITY CENTER. THE COMMUNITY WANTS I BACK JUST LIKE THE OLD THIRD PRECINCT. EVERYONE WANTED TO GIVE THAT TO E COMMUNITY. THE NORTH SIDE WANTS PLYMOUTH. WE WANT THE WAY BACK. WE WANTE IT BACK FOR

1389
07:47:02.700 --> 07:47:21.433
DECADES. MOVE IT ALL OUT, EVERYTHING, GIVE US SOMETHING DIFFERENT. JUST THINK ABOUT THE MINNEAPOLIS. IT IS IN RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS. IT'S NOT ON MAJOR CORRIDORS LIKE THE REST OF YOUR PRECINCTS. WE ARE ASKING FOR SE RELIEF HERE. I AM SO TIRED OF BEGGING FOR THIS.

1390
07:47:21.433 --> 07:47:36.533
THIS FEELS LIKE I AM BEGGING FOR MY COLLEAGUES TO HELP ME ENRICH THE LIVES OF OUR NEIGHBORS. YOU KNOW, ONE OF MY COLLEAGUES JUST SATERE AND SAID IT'S NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING TO BETTER ANODY'S LIVES. IT WILL IF YOU

1391
07:47:36.533 --> 07:47:53.400
LIVE ON 42nd AND DUPONT OR IN THE WEBER CAMDEN NEIGHBORHOOD, OR IN ANY O THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOODS WHERE YOU HAVE TO DRIVE BY THERE. SO, I AM ASKING U TO REALLY FOCUS ON WHAT IS GOING TO CHANGE HE AND NOT

1392
07:47:53.400 --> 07:48:10.233
POLITICIZE THIS INTO SOME RIDICULOUS FIGHT WITH THE MAYOR OR WHOMEVER ELSE. FOR ME, THIS IS SOLELY ABOUT NORTH MINNEAPOLIS FINALLY GETTING WHAT THEY ARE ASKING FOR, FROM THIS CITY, THEIR -- THEY ARE

1393
07:48:10.233 --> 07:48:27.333
TAXPAYERS TOO. THEY DESERVE TO HAVE THIS OUTF THEIR LITERAL FRONT YARDS. THIS IS RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM A FOO SHELF. PEOPLE ARE STANDING IN LINE AT A CHURCH, RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET. ONE OF THE THINGS I AM DISAPPOINTED ABOUT IS THAT W DIDN'T DO COMMUNITY LISTENING

1394
07:48:27.333 --> 07:48:43.866
SESSIONS ON THE OTHER END OF THIS. WE TALKED ABOUT WHERE IT WAS GOING, BUT WE DIDN'T TALK ABOUT WHERE IT WAS COMING FROM. THE CITY SHOULD HAVE WENT OUT TO NEIGHBORHOODS AND ASKED PEOPLE IN THOSE AREAS HOW THEY FEEL ABOUT THIS A THE IMPACT IT HAS ON THEIR DAY-TO-DAY LIVES. THAT IS WHAT SHOULD HE HAPPENED.

1395
07:48:43.866 --> 07:49:00.566
AGAIN, THE NORTH SIDE ALWAYS OVERLOOKED. IN THE FUTURE, IF THAT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN, I AM GOING TO HAVE A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THAT TOO. C.O.O. AND COMMISSIONER, THOSE SESSIONS SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE IN NORTH MINNEAPOLIS TO TALK TO THE NEIGHBORS IN THE WEBER CAMDEN

1396
07:49:00.566 --> 07:49:17.600
NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOODS ABOUT HOW THEY FEEL OR YOU COULD HAVE JUST CALLED MY OFFICE OR DID A DATA REQUEST. I AM TIRED OF HAVING THIS CONVERSATION. WE GOT TO BE CARING ABOUT EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN OUR COMMUNITY AND TO KEEP

1397
07:49:17.600 --> 07:49:34.533
FORCING THIS ON THE NORTH SIDE IS GETTING REALLY OLD. IT REALLY IS. WE GOTO DO BETTER AS A CITY. THIS IS NOT ABOUT WHATEVER WE'RE TRYIN TO MAKE THIS ABOUT A COP CITY OR THE INVESTMENT. IF WE DON'T INVEST IN THIS, THE MONEY IS NOT GOING TO OTHER THINGS. IF IT WAS, YOU CAN SIGN

1398
07:49:34.533 --> 07:49:53.033
ME UP TO PRIORITIZE A LOT OF THINGS PEOPLE WANT ON THE NORTH SIDE ITEAD OF THIS, BUT WE CAN'T DO THAT. SO LET'S BE REALISTIC HERE, USE THE MONEY FOR WHAT IT'S FOR AND DO WHAT WE SAID WE WERE GOING TO DO WHEN WE ADOPTED THIS TO OUR LEGISLATIVE

1399
07:49:53.033 --> 07:50:08.783
AGENDA. >> COUNCIL MEMBER WONSLEY. >> THANK YOU CHAIR CHOWDHURY. I WILL SAY I RECEIVED OVER 400 E-MAILS ASKING ME TO OPPOSE THIS PROJECT, WHICH I WILL BE. IN THOSE REQUESTS OF OPPOSITION TO THIS PROJECT, RESIDENTS HAVE

1400
07:50:08.783 --> 07:50:23.616
NAMED THIS FOR EXACTLY WHAT IT IS. IT IS A COP CITY. HOW DO I KNOW THAT? JUST FROM THE PRIOR PRESENTATION. LET'S JUST COMPARE THE DESCRIPTIONS OF BOTH THIS AND THE ATLANTIC PUBLIC SAFETY CENTER, WHICH WAS ALSO INCLUDED IN THE POLICY AND RESEARCH

1401
07:50:23.616 --> 07:50:39.950
REPORT THAT WE JUST NAMED OR DISCUSSED. THE ATLANTIC PUBLIC SAFETY TRAINING CENTER SAYS THEY BUILT A CENTER TO SUPPORT THEIR NEEDS FOR DEDICATED TRAINING SPACE WITH MODERN FACILITIES FOR PERSONNEL. THE NEW CENTER ALLOWS SWORN OFFICERS, CIVILIAN

1402
07:50:39.950 --> 07:50:56.516
RESPONDERS, FIREFIGHTERS, E.M.S., AND 9-1-1 STAFF TO TRAIN LOCALLY AND COLLABORATIVELY USING MODERN PHILOSOPHIES AND METHODOLOGIES ROOTED IN HARM REDUCTIO LET'S GO TO OUR DEFINITION. THE WELLNESS CENTER

1403
07:50:56.516 --> 07:51:12.850
WILL BE UTILIZED BY ALL COMMUNITY SAFETY FUNCTIONS, NEU 9-1-1, FIRE, SAFETY AND POLICE, THE OPPORTUNITY FOR LARGER MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL PARTNERSHIPS ALSO EXIST. IT'S THE SAME. IT'S NOT DEFINED BY ACHERS, IT'S NOT DEFINED BY THE

1404
07:51:12.850 --> 07:51:29.716
SIZE OF YOUR PARCEL, IT'S LITERALLY AROUND THIS IDEA OF BUILDING SOMETHING THAT IS TRULY NOT A NEED BUT A WANT OF PARTICULAR SEGMENTS OF OUR WORKFORCE, TYPICALLY M.P.D. AND PUTTING THAT AT THE EXPENSE OF

1405
07:51:29.716 --> 07:51:46.750
OTHER NEEDS. I HAVE TO COMBAT THIS MISS INFORMATION THAT IS SHARED THAT WE CAN'T MOVE MONEY FROM THIS PROJECT TO OTHERS. THAT'S WHAT WE DID IN DECEMBER. IT WAS A PRIORITY TO INVEST IN OTHER CAPITAL PROJECTS INCLUDING A.D.A. REPLACEMENTS AND TRAFFIC

1406
07:51:46.750 --> 07:52:02.550
CALMING BECAUSE THOSE HAVE BEEN DIVESTED IN AND THAT ELEVATES THE SAFETY AND WELLBEING OF OUR COMMUNITY. OVER 9 COUNCIL MEMBERS VOTED TOOVE MONEY AWAY FROM THIS PROJECT TO INVEST IN THOSE ONLY THEN TO BE ASKED TO DEFUND THOSE PROJECTS, ANIMAL

1407
07:52:02.550 --> 07:52:19.550
CONTROL AS WELL, TO SUPPORT THE ADVANCEMENT OF A SPACE WHERE OUR FIRST RESPONDERS CAN HAVE NEW MATS AND RECEIVE MASSAGES, WHILE ALSO PRACTICING SCENARIO-BASED TRAINING THAT OUR REPORT ALREADY SAYS YOU'RE DOING GREAT. YOU'RE DOING GREAT IN YOUR TRAINING, WE JUST NEED YOU TO COMPLETE YOUR

1408
07:52:19.550 --> 07:52:35.933
TRAINING ACTUALLY. SO, THIS IDEA THAT WE CAN'T DO MORE IS ABSOLUTELY FALSE. WE COU REAPPROPRIATE AS WHAT WE'RE DOING RIGHT NOW, AWAY FROM A.D.A., AWAY FROM ANIMAL CONTROL, WE COULD ACTUALLY USE THESE SAME DOLLARS AROUND THE PUBLIC OR THE COMMUNITY SAFETY

1409
07:52:35.933 --> 07:52:51.333
AND WELLNESS CENTER AND SAY YEAH, WE WANT TO INVEST THOSE DOLLARS INTO OTHER CAPITAL PROJECTS LIKE THE NEW NICOLLET, SO IT CAN INCLUDE GEOTHERMAL OR AFFORDABLE HOUSING WHICH WOULD BENEFIT ALL OF OUR RESIDENTS AND

1410
07:52:51.333 --> 07:53:07.666
INCREASE OUR TAX BASE BECAUSE WE HEARD EARLIER TODAY THAT WE'RE STRUGGLING ON THAT END AND MOST OF OUR RESIDENTS ARE HAVING TO BEAR THE FINANCIAL BURDEN OF CARING FOR OUR CITY AND MAINTAINING OUR CITY. WE COULD INVEST IT IN 38th AND CHICAGO WHERE WE HAD A DEBATE ABOUT THE

1411
07:53:07.666 --> 07:53:23.666
DIVESTMENT INTO THAT COMMUNITY. THAT IS ON OUR CAPITAL PROJECT LIST RIGHT NOW THAT WE COULD BE MOVING THOSE DLAROLLARS TOWARDS IT'S LACKADAISICAL IN OUR IMAGINATION TO BUILD A WELLNESS FACILITY INSTEAD OF PRIORITIZING

1412
07:53:23.666 --> 07:53:39.500
THINGS WE KNOW WILL MEET THE NEEDS OF OUR RESIDENTS. THIS IS NOT A PRIORITY RIGHT NOW. ALSO, THERE IS AN OVERSATURATION OF THESE PUBLIC SAFETY CENTERS IN THE METRO. THE COP CITY MOVEMENT HAPPENED SEVERAL YEARS AGO AND THEY WERE ABLE TO GET LOTS OF MONEY FROM THE STATE TO FUND IT. THAT'S WHY WE HAVE A PUBLIC

1413
07:53:39.500 --> 07:53:56.733
SAFETY CENTER IN EDINA, THAT'S WHY WE HAVE ANOTHER ONE IN MAPLE GROVE, THE HERO CENTER IN WOODBURY, ALL OF WHICH WOULD REQUIRE ALL OF OUR STAFF TO TRAVEL 20 TO 30 MINUTES AND THEY CAN HAVE ALL THEIR NEEDS MET THERE. THEY CAN DO THE COLLABORATIVE E.M.S. AND FIRE

1414
07:53:56.733 --> 07:54:14.266
TRAINING THEY ARE ASKING. THEY CAN DO THE OUTDOOR SIMULATION. THEY HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO OUTDOOR TRAINING THROUGH ANOTHER VENDOR. IN EXCHANGE, THEY

1415
07:54:14.266 --> 07:54:30.600
PROVIDE MUTUAL AID IN DOING THEIR BOMB DETECTION. WE KNOW THERE IS A WAY IN WHICH TO HAVE THESE NEEDS MET WHICH DOES NOT REQUIRE $40 MILLION. WE CAN WORK WITH THE JURISDICTIONS THAT ALREADY BOUGHT IN THE OTHER PUBLIC SAFETY CENTERS. WHY WOULD

1416
07:54:30.600 --> 07:54:47.700
THEY COME HERE? WE CAN WORK WITH LAW ENFOEMENT AGENCIES THAT ARE NOT UNDER CONSENT DECREES, LEARN HOW THEY ARE DOING BETTER, BE IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THEM, AND PAY SOME RENTALS TO BE IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THEM. SO I WANTED TO GROUND THIS, THIS IS A COP CITY PROJECT. IT'S NOT A

1417
07:54:47.700 --> 07:55:03.033
WANT RIGHT NOW. WE COULD BE DOING SO MANY MORE THINGS AND THAT'S THE CONVERSATION I WANT TO HAVE. THAT GETS AT THE NORTH SIDE PIECE TOO. RIGHT NOW AFTER THIS PROJECT, WE ARE GOING TO ASK OR BE ASKED AS A BODY TO MAKE APPROPRIATIONS FOR THE

1418
07:55:03.033 --> 07:55:20.700
NORTH COMMUNITY SAFETY CENTER PROJECTS THAT ALSO HAS A PRICE TAG OF OVER $20 MILLION, WHICH WOULD BRING OUR TOTAL INVESTMENT INTO M.P.D.'S FACILITIES TO OVER $100 MILLION IN ITSELF. SO, W ARE GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE TO

1419
07:55:20.700 --> 07:55:36.083
ACTUALLY RENOVATE. THEY'RE ASKING FOR A NEW BUILDING FOR THAT PROJECT. THAT'S A WAY TO LOOK AT REROUTING THOSE TRAINING ISSUES THAT IS PLAGUING THAT COMMUNITY TO A DIFFERENT SITE AS WELL. WE WILL BE GETTING TO THAT THIS YEAR. THIS IS NOT A NEED. THIS IS ONE THAT COULD BE

1420
07:55:36.083 --> 07:55:52.533
FULFILLED THROUGH OTHER INTERIM SOLUTIONS THAT ARE ALREADY IN EXISTENCE IN OUR COMMUNITY. SO I AT LEAST WANTED TO NAME THAT AND SAY THANK YOU ALSO COUNCIL MEMBER STEVENSON. I LOOK FORWARD TO HAVING THAT BROADER CONVERSATION ON HOW TO MAKE INVESTMENTS USING OUR BONDING

1421
07:55:52.533 --> 07:56:08.116
DOLLARS THAT HELPS OUR CITY BE VIBRANT, BE MORE EQUITABLE, THAT ALSO BRINGS IN ADDITIONAL REVENUE AS OPPOSED TO FLATTENING OUR BUDGET AND PUTTING APPROACHES LIKE THIS ON THE CITY'S CREDIT CARD THAT ACTUALLY DOESN'T BENEFIT OUR RESIDENTS

1422
07:56:08.116 --> 07:56:27.866
AND OUR CITY AS A WHOLE. >> COUNCIL MEMBER SHAFFER. >> THANK YOU CHAIR CHOWDHURY. I AM JUST GOING TO SAY A COUPLE THINGS HERE AND SIMPLE. I BELIEVE THAT PUBLIC SAFETY IS FOUNDATIONAL TO ANY SUCCESSFUL

1423
07:56:27.866 --> 07:56:43.250
CITY. PUBLIC SAFETY, CORE CITY SERVICES IS WHAT MAKES A CITY A GREAT PLACE TO INVEST IN, A GREAT PLACE TO CALL HOME. I DO BELIEVE THAT PUBLIC SAFETY PROVIDES OUR RESIDENTS A VERY

1424
07:56:43.250 --> 07:56:57.666
IMPORTANT SERVICE. OUR RESIDENTS DESERVE A PUBLIC SAFETY TEAM THAT IS WELL TRAINED, THAT HAS A CARING ATMOSPHERE TO BE ABLE TO SUPPORT ONE ANOTHER IN TIMES OF

1425
07:56:57.666 --> 07:57:16.433
CRISIS. WE HAVE A CITY THAT IS LIVED THROUGH ENUNCIATION, A CITY THAT LIVED THROUGH MASS SHOOTINGS, WE HAVE LIVED THROUGH GEORGE FLOYD, WE HAVE LIVED THROUGH NAVIGATING FEDERAL TROOPS IN OUR STREETS. WE HAVE ASKED OUR FIRST RESPONDERS TO DO

1426
07:57:16.433 --> 07:57:33.166
THINGS THAT MANY OTHER CITIES HAVE NOT BEEN ASKED TO DO. I THINK IT IS PUZZLING TO ME WHY MY COLLEAGUES WOULD NOT SUPPORT INVESTING IN THESE GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT ARE IN THE FRONT

1427
07:57:33.166 --> 07:57:49.900
LINES OF CRISIS ON BEHALF OF OUR RESIDENTS, DIRECTLY ON BEHALF OF THE RESIDENTS OF OUR CITY. SO TODAY, I AM JUST AGAIN, PUZZLED WHY WE WOULD NOTANT TO INVEST THIS SMALL $6 MILLION TO EXPLORE

1428
07:57:49.900 --> 07:58:05.033
THIS OPTION, SHOW THE STATE WE ARE READY TO BRING MONEY TO THE TABLE IF THEY WILL MEET US WITH BONDING DOLLARS, AND MAKE THIS INVESTMENT IN THE TRAINING AND WELLNESS OF THOSE WHO SACRIFICE FOR THE RESIDENTS OF OUR CITY

1429
07:58:05.033 --> 07:58:23.633
DAY IN AND DAY OUT, 24/7. THANK YOU. >> COUNCIL MEMBER VETAW. >> THANK YOU. FIRST OF ALL, JUST BECAUSE A BUNCH OF ACTIVISTS AND COUNCIL MEMBERS CALL IT COP CITY DOESN'T MAKE IT COP CITY. IT'S JUST A TERM, RIGHT? I LIKE HERO CENTER. THAT IS WHAT THEY HAVE

1430
07:58:23.633 --> 07:58:40.133
IN COTTAGE GROVE. I WANT TO CALL THIS THE HERO CENTER OUT IN WARD 11. LET'S TAKE ON THAT NAME. IT'S JUST A MADE UP THING THAT PEOPLE USE TO DIMINISH WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO HERE. THIS IS REALLY ABOUT CLABORATIVE EFFORTS AROUND SERVICES AND

1431
07:58:40.133 --> 07:58:56.966
PUTTING THEM UNDER ONE ROOF. THIS IS NOT ABOUT POLICE OFFICERS. THIS IS LITERALLY ABOUT DOING WHAT WE SAID WE WOULD DO WITH TRAINING OUR OFFICERS AND TRAINING OUR FIRST RESPONDERS. I DON'T KNOW WHO SAID THAT WE HAVE FACILITIES THAT ARE JUST FINE. SINCE I'VE

1432
07:58:56.966 --> 07:59:13.266
BEEN HERE, SINCE I WAS ON THE PARK BOARD, THAT OUR FACILITY SUCK. THAT WE ARE GOING EVERYWHERE. I HAVE BEEN OUT TO THE RACETRACK OR WHATEVER Y'ALL CALL IT THAT WE USED TO TRAIN OFFICERS WITH DRIVING. I HAVE

1433
07:59:13.266 --> 07:59:30.266
BEEN TO THE TECHNICAL COLLEGE THAT WE USE ROOMS IN SOMETIMES. I HAVE BEEN TO THE FOURTH PRECINCT FOR THE GUN RANGE. I HAVE BEEN TO HAMILTON SCHOOL TO SEE 30 ADULTS CRAMMED IN A LITTLE CLASSROOM AND CAN'T EVEN

1434
07:59:30.266 --> 07:59:46.766
MOVE DOWN, CAN'T GET ON THE GROUND AND THEN YOU SEE HALF OF THEM LINED UP IN THE HALLWAY AT A SCHOOL, AND SOMEONE CAN'T EVEN GO TO THE BATHROOM. YOU HAVE TO GO TO THE BATHROOM, YOU HAVE TO ASK 15 TRAINEES TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY TO GET IN. I HAVE SEEN

1435
07:59:46.766 --> 08:00:01.850
THESE FACILITIES FIRSTHAND. THERE IS NO ONE THAT WILL SAY THAT OUR FACILITIES ARE JUST FINE. THAT IS A FLAT OUT LIE. THEY ARE NOT JUST FINE, THEY ARE TERRIBLE IN COMPARISON TO SOME. SOME OF THEM WERE PRESENTED TO US BEFORE IN THE PRESENTATION

1436
08:00:01.850 --> 08:00:19.066
BEFORE US. IT IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS TO COMPARE WHAT IS HAPPENING IN ATLANTA TO FOUR ACRES IN SOUTH MINNEAPOLIS, NOT EVEN CLOSE. IF WE WERE DOING THAT, I THINK WE WOULD ALL TAKE ISSUE WITH THE COMMISSIONER

1437
08:00:19.066 --> 08:00:34.700
COMING BEFORE US AND SAYING I WANT TO BUY 85 ACRES OF LAND TO ILD THE FACILITY. THAT IS NOT WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE. THAT'S NOT WHATS HAPPENING AT ALL. EVEN IF AND WHEN I DON'T TRUST THAT WE WILL, I FEEL LIKE AS

1438
08:00:34.700 --> 08:00:51.433
SOON AS IT'S TIME FOR THE FOURTH PRECINCT TO GET SOME INVESTMENT, THERE WILL BE A NEW POLITICAL WHATEVER, SOMETHING, TO SAY THAT WE'RE NOT READY FOR THAT EITHER, EVEN IF WE GET TO A POINT WHERE WE'RE CHANGING THE FOURTH PRECINCT. THAT'S NOT GOING TO

1439
08:00:51.433 --> 08:01:07.766
CHANGE THE HAMILTON HOOL. THAT SCHOOL IS STILL GOING TO EXIST ON 42nd AND BRYANT, DUPONT, WHEREVER, TO NEIGHBORS IN THAT COMMUNITY. SO LIKE WHAT ARE WE SAYING HERE? ARE WE SAYING THAT OKAY, WHEN WE GET TO THE FOURTH

1440
08:01:07.766 --> 08:01:23.733
PRECINCT, WE WILL GET YOU A NEW PRECINCT. WE WILL LOOK AT THAT FACILITY, MAYBE FIVE YEARS DOWN THE ROAD. JUST DEAL WITH THIS UNTIL WE GET THAT. WE ARE STILL GOING TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE TRAINING FACILITY. WE'RE STILL GOING TO BE PAYING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OUT TO MOVE

1441
08:01:23.733 --> 08:01:39.800
THINGS AROUND IN THIS CITY SO THAT FOLKS HAVE ADEQUATE TRAINING. I WILL JUST SAY, I TALKED TO FIRE AUT THIS AND I HAVE ALSO TALKED TO EMERGENCY OPERATIONS ABOUT THIS YEAR AGO BEFORE THE TWO FOLKS WHO ARE IN LEADERSHIP IN THIS POSITION WERE

1442
08:01:39.800 --> 08:01:56.733
EVEN IN LEADERSHIP. IEMEMBER TALKING TO OUR FORMER EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT DIRECTOR ABOUT HOW THEY STORE THINGS AT THE CENTER, LIKE PET FOOD AND ALL THESE

1443
08:01:56.733 --> 08:02:13.166
THINGS THEY NEED FOR US IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY. IN THE WORLD I LIVE IN, WE HAV A NEW PLACE WHERE WE CAN HAVE MORE BECAUSE MINNEAPOLIS IS GROWING. WHAT WE HAVE NOW, THE FACILITIES WE HAVE NOW AND THE EMERGENCIES WE ENDURED SINCE THE 35W BRIDGE. I

1444
08:02:13.166 --> 08:02:31.416
MEAN EVERY SINGLE TRAGEDY THAT COULD HAPPEN IN A CITY HAS ALMOST HAPPENED IN MINNEAPOLIS. TO PREPARE FOR THAT, FACILITIES IS A PART OF THAT. WANT US TO BE PREPARED. MOST OF US WENT OVER TO THE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT

1445
08:02:31.416 --> 08:02:48.166
CENTER AND THEY WERE ALL CRAMMED ONE ROOM, BARELY MOVING, MAKING SURE EVERYTHING IS BEING OPERATED PROPERLY, WHILE TRYING TO SHOW US A PRESENTATION. YOU GO IN THE BACK TO THE FIRE TRUCKS, THERE ARE FIREFIGHTERS IN THE ROOM DOING TRAINING IN THE BACK OF THE BUILDING. I MEAN

1446
08:02:48.166 --> 08:03:04.383
THIS IS UNNECESSARY. THIS IS NOT HOW YOU TREAT PEOPLE. I AM IN NO WAY SAYING THAT THIS IS

1447
08:03:04.383 --> 08:03:20.233
EVERYONE'S PRIORITY BUT IT'S MINE. IT SHOULD BE EVERYONE'S PRIORITY. WE SHOULD WANT OUR EMERGENCY TEAMS TO HAVE ROOM FOR GROWTH, NOT JUST WHAT'S HAPPENING RIGHT NOW. >> COUNCIL MEMBER COUNCIL MEMBER

1448
08:03:20.233 --> 08:03:36.683
WARREN. >> THANK YOU CHAIR. I HOPE IT'S A COP CITY, A COP UNIVERSITY. THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS SPENDS SO MUCH MONEY ON THE BACK END BEHIND THE AMOUNTS OF VIOLENCE AND OTHER THINGS THAT WE ARE UNRPREPARED FOR, WHERE IT

1449
08:03:36.683 --> 08:03:55.466
PERTAINS TO OUR OFFICERS. IF OUR OFFICERS HAVE THE SPACE TO GET THE TRAINING AND UNDERSTANDING THEY NEED, THEN I AM ALL FOR IT. I RATHER PAY THE MONEY ON THE FRONT END THAN SPEND IT ON THE BACK END. LAST YEAR, WE GAVE

1450
08:03:55.466 --> 08:04:10.950
$900,000 FOR PEOPLE TO WALK AROUND OUR CITY IN T-SHIRTS LIKE SOMEBODY DUMPED A BAG OF SKITTLES IN THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS. WE GAVE TOUCH OUTREACH $1.6 MILLION LAST YEAR AND THAT COULD HAVE WENT TO HELP BETTER PREPA OUR SAFETY

1451
08:04:10.950 --> 08:04:26.333
OFFICERS AND OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT AND OUR EMERGENCY RESPONSE TEAMS AND WHATEVER. INSTEAD, WE'RE GIVING IT TO 21 JUMP STREET COS. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS THAT YOU WANT TO DO OR WHAT'S HAPPENING OUT HERE, BUT IT'S NOT SERVING OUR PUBLIC AND OUR COMMUNITY.

1452
08:04:26.333 --> 08:04:43.366
THERE IS JUST AS MUCH HARM LIKE MY COUNCIL COLLEAGUE SAID, BEING DONE TO OUR RESIDENTS HERE IN NORTH MINNEAPOLIS BECAUSE OF THE CONDITIONS OF OUR COMMUNITY AND WHAT WE HAVE THEM EXPOSED TO AS IT PERTAINS TO THE POLICE

1453
08:04:43.366 --> 08:04:59.266
TRAINING CENTER ON DUPONT. IT'S NOT SAFE, IT'S NOT FAIR, IT'S NOT SAFE FOR THE KIDS. IT'S A SCHOOL, THE SCHOOL SHOULD OPERATE AS A SCHOOL. IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT GROWING POPULATIONS AND COMMUNITIES, WE ARE NOT ABLE TO STRETCH AND MAKE THE ROOM THAT WE HAVE TO MAKE IN

1454
08:04:59.266 --> 08:05:17.000
NORTH SIDE VERSUS WHAT'S HAPPENING IN SOUTH MINNEAPOLIS. THEY GET A LOT OF ATTENTION AND PATS ON THE BACK AND BUTTERFLIES AND FAIRIES AND ALL THAT STUFF BUT EVERYONE KEEPS RESOURS AWAY FROM NORTH MINNEAPOLIS AND

1455
08:05:17.000 --> 08:05:34.466
I AM AGAIN TIRED OF IT. IT'S REALLY RIDICULOUS. IT IS. WE HAD TO SIT HEARING DEBATE ON THIS DAIS TO ENSURE OUR RESIDENTS AND BUSINESSES ON THE NORTH SIDE WILL HAVE ACCESS TO RENTAL HOUSING FUNDING THAT WE ALL

1456
08:05:34.466 --> 08:05:51.466
AGREED TO INSURE, AND EVERYTHING SOUTH MINNEAPOLIS. WE CAN'T GET A POLICE TRAINING FACILITY MOVED OUT OF OUR COMMUNITY IN NORTH MINNEAPOLIS. WE CAN GIVE MONEY

1457
08:05:51.466 --> 08:06:07.800
TO T-SHIRTS, WE CAN GIVE MONEY -- DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M SAYING? I'M TRYING TO MAKE THIS MAKE SENSE BECAUSE IT'S NOT MAKING ANY SENSE AT ALL. SO I HOPE IT'S A COP CITY. I HOPE IT'S A COP UNIVERSITY. I HOPE COPS CAN GO THERE AND GET ALL

1458
08:06:07.800 --> 08:06:24.033
THEY'RE UNDERSTANDING, THAT IT SAVES US AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE ON THE BACK END OF THINGS SO OUR OFFICERS ARE NOT EASILY STARTLED BECAUSE THEY'RE TRAINED IN TIGHT CLOSET ROOMS, SO THEY'RE ABLE TO PREPARE THEMSELVES TO OPERATE AT

1459
08:06:24.033 --> 08:06:41.500
THEIR MOST SUPREME, AND BEST BEHAVIOR AND DOING THE THINGS THAT THEY NEED TO DO TO SERVE OUR COMMUNITY RIGHT WHEN THEY GET OUT ON THE STREETS ON THE BACK END OF THINGS. I HOPE THEY HAVE THE SPACE TO DO THAT BECAUSE THEY DESERVE IT. WE PAY THEM IN OUR TAX DOLLARS TO SHOW

1460
08:06:41.500 --> 08:06:58.033
UP THAT WAY. WE SIT HERE AND WE SPEND $7 MILLION ON BUSINESS FUING, WE SPENT MONEY ON RENTAL STUFF. YEAH, OUR TAXES ARE GOING TO PAY FOR IT. SO I HOPE EVERYONE PAID CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE TAX ASSESSMENT

1461
08:06:58.033 --> 08:07:14.433
PRESENTATION BECAUSE YOU WILL BE HOSTING TOWN HALL MEETINGS FOR THE RESIDENTS OF YOUR WARD BECAUSE HOW OUR BUDGET IS GOING TO LOOK GOING INTO THE END OF THE YEAR. WE SET OURSELVES UP FOR IT AND RIGHTFULLY SO. THE CITY IS IN CRISIS. IT HAS A NEED

1462
08:07:14.433 --> 08:07:30.100
BUT BE PREPARED TO MEET ALL THE NEEDS. IF APE -- I AM SACRIFICING FOR ONE, I SACRIFICE FOR ALL. I HAVE SIX KIDS.

1463
08:07:30.100 --> 08:07:45.733
EVERYBODY IS GOING TO NEED TO COVER THEMSELVES IN SOME WAY OR ANOTHER. THAT'S THE WAY IT GOES. SO BE PREPARED. I'M TELLING YOU LADIES AND GENTLEMEN AND CITIZENS OF THE GREAT CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS, OUR LOVELY CONSTITUENTS, BE PREPARED BECAUSE WE HAVE TO DO IT. IT'S

1464
08:07:45.733 --> 08:08:05.333
THE END OF IT. IT'S SOMETHING THAT HAS TO BE DONE IN ORDER TO PREPARE PEOE TO SHOW UP IN THEIR BEST WAY POSSIBLE. IF WE CAN SPEND IT ON OTHER STUFF, WE CAN SPEND IT ON THIS. THAT'S IT.

1465
08:08:05.333 --> 08:08:21.466
>> COUNCIL MEMBER CHAVEZ. >> THANK YOU CHAIR CHOWDHURY. I HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS FOR STAFF. IF WE CAN -- I FEEL LIKE THERE ARE A LOT OF NUMBERS THROWN OUT. CAN YOU CLARIFY THE TOTAL COST OF THIS BUILDING? WHAT WILL IT

1466
08:08:21.466 --> 08:08:38.666
COST TO CREATE THIS SHOOTING RANGE WELLNESS CENTER, WHATEVER YOU CALL IT. >> CHAIR CHOWDHURY, COUNCIL MEMBER CHAVEZ, I'M SORRY. I DIDN'T HEAR THE LAST PART OF YOUR QUESTION. >> WHAT IS THE COST OF THE

1467
08:08:38.666 --> 08:08:54.166
PROJECT, THE TOTAL COST OF THE PROJECT. >> CERTAINLY. SO WE DO KNOW WHAT THE COST OF THE SITE ACQUISITION IS. THAT IS A SOLID NUMBER. >> THAT'S NOT WHAT I'M ASKING, I'M ASKING ABOUT THE OJECT. >> ABSOLUTELY. IT IS $6 MILLION

1468
08:08:54.166 --> 08:09:12.616
FOR THE SITE ACQUISITION. WE HAVE NOT DESIGNED THIS PROJECT YET. WE KNOW THAT GENERAL SCOPE, WE KNOW GENERAL SIZING. >> SO MY QUESTION IS WHAT IS THE TOTAL COST OF THE PROJECT. IN

1469
08:09:12.616 --> 08:09:28.933
BRIEFINGS, WE WERE TOLD OVER $38 MILLION. DIRECTOR, IS THAT ACCURATE? >> IT IS ACCURATE. $38 MILLION WOULD INCLUDE THE SITE ACQUISITION. >> SO $38 MILLION-PLUS IS HOW MUCH THIS WOULD COST. THERE ARE

1470
08:09:28.933 --> 08:09:47.100
A BUNCH OF STUFF, ON TOP OF $1 MILLION TO OPERATE ALL YEAR. IS THAT WHAT YOU SAID EARLIER OR NO? >> I'M SORRY, CAN YOU -- >> I JUST WANT TO KNOW THE TOTAL COST OF THIS WHOLE. >> THE TOTAL PROJECTED COST OF

1471
08:09:47.100 --> 08:10:05.266
THIS PROJECT IS $38 MILLION TO INCLUDE THE SITE ACQUISITION. >> OKAY, THANK YOU. I JUST WANTED THE PUBLIC TO HEAR THAT. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW THE TOTAL COST OF THIS PROJECT. CAN YOU CLARIFY THE LOCATION AND WARD WHERE THIS INVESTMENT WOULD GO INTO? >> SURE, THE LOCATION AGAIN, I

1472
08:10:05.266 --> 08:10:22.100
CAN GO BACK TO THE SLIDE. SO AS SHOWN ON THE SLIDE, IT IS 146 60TH STREET SOUTHWEST. >> SO THIS $38 MILLION WOULD GO INTO SOUTH MINNEAPOLIS AS WE'RE

1473
08:10:22.100 --> 08:10:38.566
TALKING ABOUT SOUTH MINNEAPOLIS GETTING MORE RESOURCES. I THINK INSTEAD WE CAN REDISTRIBUTE THAT INTO OUR COMMUNITIES MORE EQUITABLY TO INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS THAT WOULD BENEFIT EVERYBODY ACROSS THE CITY. I JUST WANTED TO EMPHASIZE HOW

1474
08:10:38.566 --> 08:10:56.133
MUCH IT WOULD COST THE CITY AND ITS CREDIT CARD AND WHERE IT WAS LOCATED, WHICH I ALREADY KNEW, THAT THIS WOULD BE IN SOUTH MINNEAPOLIS AS WELL. YEAH, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT. I JUST WANTED TO SAY THE WORK THAT TOUCH OUTREACH IS INCREDIBLE.

1475
08:10:56.133 --> 08:11:14.166
WHAT THEY DO IS KEEP PEOPLE SAFE. IT'S A GROUP THAT KEEPS PEOPLE SAFE NOT JUST PUTS ON T-SHIRTS. I JUST WANTED TO TALK ABOUT THAT BECAUSE IT WAS MENTIONED AND COMMENTS WERE MADE ABOUT THEM. I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE KNOW THEY'RE

1476
08:11:14.166 --> 08:11:29.733
GREAT, THEY DO VIOLENCE PREVENTION AND THEY KEEP PEOPLE SAFE. >> THANK YOU COUNCIL MEMBERS. I WILL REMIND US THAT WE HAVE A MOTION TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE RECOMMENDATION AND CAPTIONING WILL BE FINISHED AT 6:00 P.M.

1477
08:11:29.733 --> 08:11:47.333
COUNCIL MEMBER WONSLEY. >> YES, THANK YOU CHAIR CHOWDHURY AND ALSO COUNCIL MEMBER CHAVEZ FOR RAISING THE POINT AROUND THE IMPORTANCE OF OUR VIOLENCE PREVENTION SERVICES THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE BENEFITTING FROM THIS FACILITY OR BUILDING ITSELF. ALSO, THAT

1478
08:11:47.333 --> 08:12:03.000
WAS ONE OF MY CONCERNS WITH THIS PRODUCT OF -- PROJECT SAYING THAT WILL SHORE UP THE ASPECT OF WORK THAT WILL LOWER CRIME RATES OVERALL FOR OUR CITY, MAKING IT THE ALL TIME LOW. WE HAD MULTIPLE PRESENTATIONS WHERE M.P.D. THEMSELVES HAVE SAID THEY

1479
08:12:03.000 --> 08:12:22.350
HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DO THIS BY THEMSELVES. SO, I ABSOLUTELY WANTED TO TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO UPLIFT OUR VIOLENCE PREVENTION WORK AND IT'S THIS BODY THAT HAS DONE A GREAT DEAL IN EXPANDING THAT WORK. WHILE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT MOVING THIS

1480
08:12:22.350 --> 08:12:38.466
BUILDING FORWARD TO SUPPORT THEM, THIS IS ALSO COMING ALONGSIDE WITH THE ADMINISTRATION ASKING TO CUT 5% OF THEIR OWN FUNDING. SO, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT REDUCTIONS IN THAT SAME SERVICES, AND JUST A COUPLE

1481
08:12:38.466 --> 08:12:54.883
WEEKS AGO, WE WERE POISED TO ELIMINATE AN EMBEDDED SOCIAL WORKER, THAT REQUIRED COUNCIL HAVING TO INTERVENE TO SAVE THAT POSITION ALONE. SO WE'RE ALSO SEEING THE ADMINISTRATION WALK BACK ITS COMMITMENT TO ACTUALLY ADVANCING OUR VIOLENCE PREVENTION, OUR RESTORATIVE

1482
08:12:54.883 --> 08:13:10.800
SERVICES, THE THINGS THAT AGAIN HELP NOT ONLY ADDRESS CRIME ONCE IT HAENS, BUT PREVENT IT ALL TOGETHER. SO THAT IS ALSO WHY I CAN'T TAKE THIS PROPOSAL FROM OCS IN MANY WAYS BECAUSE WE'RE SEEING A DOUBLE CONTRADICTION OF THOSE THINGS. I AT LEAST WANTED

1483
08:13:10.800 --> 08:13:27.916
TO SAY THERE IS NO WAY WE CAN MOVE THIS WORK FORWARD WITHOUT THOSE KEY PARTNERS. THEY ALSO, I KNOW IN A STUDY SESSION, OCS COULDN'T ANSWER WHERE THEY CURRENTLY TRAIN. THERE IS A BUILDING THAT HAS TONS OF SPACE, THAT IS ROOTED IN ONE OF THE COMMUNITIES THAT THOSE PROVIDERS

1484
08:13:27.916 --> 08:13:44.533
SERVE, PARTICULARLY OUR VIOLENCE INTERRUPTERS AND THOSE DOING GROUP VIOLENCE INTERVENTION WORK. THAT IS A BUILDING THEY HAVE DONE TRAININGS AND LEVERAGED SPACES IN. THEY ARE NOT ASKING FOR THIS. SO, THIS IS ALSO ANOTHER SITUATION WHERE WE

1485
08:13:44.533 --> 08:14:00.683
COULD BE MAKING USE OF EXISTING SPACES THAT ARE MEETING THE NEEDS AND THE TRAINING THAT THEY HAVE TO GO THROUGH THAT DOES NOT REQUIRE A WHOLE NEW BUILDING BEING BUILT. SO I WOULD LIKE TO

1486
08:14:00.683 --> 08:14:17.700
SEE CREATIVITY FOR US TO BRING A PROPOSAL FORWARD THAT ACTUALLY SCALES DOWN A NEED OR A PROPOSAL FOR A WHOLE NEW FACILITY TO SAY LET'S LOOK AT WHAT IS IN EXISTENCE. LET'S LOOK AT HOW WE'RE EXPANDING OUR SAFETY SERVICES FOR EVERYONE, AND THEN

1487
08:14:17.700 --> 08:14:34.083
THINK OF -- SORRY I'M TALKING. BUILD A FACILITY AROUND THOSE NEEDS. SO LET'S DO THAT WORK AND THIS BODY HAS ASKED FOR THAT FOR THREE YEARS, BUT WE WERE BUM-RUSHED WITH THIS AT A TIME IT WAS CLEAR THAT THERE IS NOT A FLUSHED OUT PLAN FOR THIS. I

1488
08:14:34.083 --> 08:14:51.400
JUST WANTED TO NAME THAT PIECE AND ALSO TO SAY WHILE THERE HAS BEEN NOT A FIRM COMMITMENT FROM THE ADMINISTRATION IN ADVANCING ALL LIGHT ASPECTS OF OUR SAFETY WORK WITH PARITY, THIS BODY HAS BEEN COMMITTED TO IT AND THAT'S WHAT I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO

1489
08:14:51.400 --> 08:15:07.333
CHAMPIONING. ANY OTHER FURTHER CONVERSATIONS AROUND FACILITIES AND PROJECTS RELATED TO PUBLIC SATY. >> VICE CHAIR CHUGHTAI. >> THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. I WANTED TO THANK OUR COLLEAGUE

1490
08:15:07.333 --> 08:15:24.166
THROUGH YOU MADAM CHAIR, COUNCIL MEMBER WARREN, FOR HER CANDOR. I REALLY DID. I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR CANDOR. I THINK I WROTE DOWN WHAT YOU SAID A COUPLE TIMES. I HOPE IT IS A COP CITY. I HOPE IT'S A COP UNIVERSITY.

1491
08:15:24.166 --> 08:15:40.200
THANK YOU FOR TELLING US THE TRUTH. THANK YOU FOR TELLING US THE TRUTH AND THANK YOU FOR HAVING THE COURAGE TO TELL US THE TRUTH ABOUT WHAT IT IS THAT WE'RE DOING BECAUSE THE REST OF US WHO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH BUILDING A COP CITY, A COP UNIVERSITY, WE'RE GETTING

1492
08:15:40.200 --> 08:15:58.533
GASLIT. WE'RE GETTING GASLIT, WE'RE GETTING TOLD IT'S NOT A COP CITY. IT'S DIFFERENT FROM ATLANTA. AT LEAST YOU HAVE THE BACKBONE TO TELL THE TRUTH. THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR THAT, I REALLY APPRECIATE IT. IT'S MY

1493
08:15:58.533 --> 08:16:16.166
TIME SO I AM GOING TO USE IT. I DID HAVE A QUESTION FOR THE COUNCIL MEMBER IF SHE HAD A SECOND MADAM CHAIR. COUNCIL MEMBER WARREN, I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU. >> PROCEED. >> YEAH, THANK YOU. WHAT DID YOU

1494
08:16:16.166 --> 08:16:33.266
CALL THEM, 21 JUMP STREET COPS? >> YEP. >> 21 JUMP STREET COPS, $1.6 MILLION, YOU TOOK OFFENSE TO THAT NUMBER, YEAH? >> I DID. >> DID YOU KNOW THE POLICE DEPARTMENT IS FUNDED AT $230 MILLION, AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT IS $97 MILLION, SO

1495
08:16:33.266 --> 08:16:50.983
TOGETHER THEIR DEPARTMENTS MAKE UP $330 MILLION, SO WHY DO YOU FIND SO MUCH OFFENSE IN THE $1.6 MILLION WHEN THOSE TWO DEPARTMENTS COMBINED HAVE A $330 MILLION PROJECT. >> BECAUSE I HELPED WRITE THE

1496
08:16:50.983 --> 08:17:07.733
CURRICULUM FOR ONE OF THE BEST YOUTH OUTREACH AND INTERVENTION TEAMS THAT EVER CAME THROUGH THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS UNDERNEATH THE INSTRUCTION OF THE MAYOR. I HAVE BEEN OUT THERE ON THE BLOCK. I HAVE DONE THE WORK MYSELF. I KNOW HOW MUCH IT COST TO MOVE. I KNOW WHAT EFFECTIVENESS LOOKS LIKE AND WHAT INEFFECTIVENESS LOOKS LIKE,

1497
08:17:07.733 --> 08:17:23.133
AND I HAVE SEEN PEOPLE OUT ON THE STREETS, ON THE BLOCKS MOVING AROUND LIKE A DANG PARADE, WITH T-SHIRTS, AND LIKE I SAID, TELLING THE TRUTH, I

1498
08:17:23.133 --> 08:17:39.266
HAVE SEEN THEM MOVING AROUND LIKE A PARADE OF A BUNCH OF SKITTLES DOING ABSOLUTELY DOING NOTHING, BEING ON THEIR PHONES, NOT ENGAGING WITH THE COMMUNITY OR DOING ANYTHING. IF OUR OFFICERS AND OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT IS GETTING PAID THAT TYPE OF MONEY, THAT'S BECAUSE THEY GO TO

1499
08:17:39.266 --> 08:17:55.866
COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITIES AND GET DEGREES IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO MOVE OUT THERE AND GO THROUGH EXTENSIVE TRAINING TO BE PAID TO DO THE WORK THAT IS DONE IN INSTRUMENT, RISKING THEIR LIVES WHY THEY ARE PAID THE WAY THEY ARE PAID. IF THOSE INDIVIDUALS

1500
08:17:55.866 --> 08:18:14.550
WANT TO GET PAID LIKE THAT, GO GET THE PAPERWORK TO SUPPORT IT. >> SO, YOU KNOW, I GUESS I AM JUST -- I STILL DON'T THINK I HAVE AN ANSWER TO MY QUESTION WHICH IS WHY A 1.600-0000 BUDGET IN THE FACE OF A $330 MILLION

1501
08:18:14.550 --> 08:18:32.000
BUDGET OFFEND YOU SO MUCH. SO YOU KNOW, I GUESS LIKE LET ME TRY TO MAKE SENSE OF WHAT YOU JUST SAID. SO, YOU KNOW THE MOUNTED PATROL BUDGET IS ALSO PRETTY BIG AND ALL THEIR ROLE IS GOING TO THE STATE PATROL. THOSE

1502
08:18:32.000 --> 08:18:50.566
ARE HORSE COPS, SHITTING EVERYWHERE, THAT'S THEIR ROLE. DOES THAT OFFEND YOU? >> SORRY, THIS IS NOT ABOUT WHO IS OFFENDING WHO. THE TOPIC I THE TRAINING AND SAFETY CENTER.

1503
08:18:50.566 --> 08:19:07.333
I AM GOING TO BRING IT BACK TO THAT. >> I'M SORRY. >> AND MY RESPONSE TO THAT IS BECAUSE WE WILL SPEND THE MONEY IN OTHER AREAS, LET'S NOT BE AFRAID TO MAKE THE $6 MILLION SACRIFICE FOR LAND PURCHASE. >> IN ADDITION --

1504
08:19:07.333 --> 08:19:24.466
>> WE ARE NOT GOING TO CROSS TALK. >> SHE ASKED ME A QUESTION. >> IT'S $38 MILLION. >> WE'RE NOT GOING TO CROSS TALK COUNCIL MEMBERS. WE ONLY HAVE A LITTLE BIT TIME LEFT, WE HAVE 7 MINUTES LEFT OF THIS MEETING. WE HAVE AMPLE TIME ON THURSDAY TO

1505
08:19:24.466 --> 08:19:39.066
CONTINUE OUR DISCUSSION ON THIS TOPIC BECAUSE WE HAVE DECIDED TO PUT FORWARD A MOTION TO MOVE FORWARD WITHOUT RECOMMENDATION. I SEE THAT WE HAVE SEVERAL COUNCIL MEMBERS IN QUEUE, INCLUDING A POINT OF ORDER. I AM GOING TO ASK MY COLLEAGUES WOULD

1506
08:19:39.066 --> 08:19:56.900
IT BE POSSIBLE FOR US TO CONTINUE OUR DISCUSSION INTO THURSDAY SO THAT WE MAY COMPLETE THIS MEETING IN TIME FOR OUR CAPTIONERS THAT WILL BE CONCLUDING AT 6:00 P.M. I AM SEEING THA COUNCIL MEMBER WARREN HAS JUMPED OFF OF QUEUE.

1507
08:19:56.900 --> 08:20:13.700
COUNCIL MEMBER RAINVILLE, WOULD YOU LIKE TO MAKE YOUR COMMENTS? >> I WILL DEFER TO YOU MADAM CHAIR AND I WILL RESERVE MY COMMENTS FOR THURSDAY. >> IT IS MUCH APPRECIATED. [LAUGHTER]. >> THANK YOU KINDLY. ALL RIGHT. ON THE MOTION TO MOVE THIS

1508
08:20:13.700 --> 08:20:30.733
FORWARD WITHOUT RECOMMENDATION, ALTHOUGH IN FAVOR SAY AYE. [AYES EXPRESSED] >> THOSE OPPOSED. LOOK AT THAT. THAT CARRIES AND IS FORWARDED. WE ARE NOT YET COMPLETE. I HAVE TO SAY A COUPLE OF THINGS BEFORE

1509
08:20:30.733 --> 08:20:46.766
WE ARE OUT OF HERE AT 6:00 P.M. SO COLLEAGUES, ITEMS THAT WERE PULLED FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA WILL BE FORWARDED TO THE FULL COUNCIL ON THURSDAY WITHOUT RECOMMENDATION WHICH WILL SAVE US TIME BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE MUCH OF IT ANY MY TO COMPLETE BUSINESS TODAY. THEREFORE,

1510
08:20:46.766 --> 08:21:02.000
WITHOUT OBJECTION, WE WILL DIRECT THE CLERKS TO FORWARD THOSE ITEMS WITHOUT RECOMMENDATION TO THURSDAY'S COUNCIL MEETING AND WE WILL TAKE THOSE UP AT THAT TIME. WITH THAT, HEARING NO OBJECTION, TODAY'S SUPER C.O.W. MEETING IS ADJOURNED. THANK YOU EVERYBODY.

1511
08:21:02.000 --> 08:21:17.933
[GAVEL]
