41
00:11:24.650 --> 00:11:40.716
HERE TO PRESENT AN INTERIM USE PERMIT FOR THE PROPERTY AT 2222 BLAISDELL AVENUE. THE PROPOSAL HERE IS TO ESTABLISH A STATE CREDENTIALED CARE FACILITY SERVING UP TO 16EOPLE FOR THE DURATION OF FIVE YEARS. THIS

42
00:11:40.716 --> 00:11:58.683
SITE CONTAINS AN EXISTING TWO-STORY RESIDENTIAL BUILDING WITH 12 UNITS. THE BUILDING INCLUDES SIX ONE-BEDROOM UNITS AND SIX TWO-BEDROOM UNITS AND THERE ARE A TOTAL OF 18 BEDROOMS ACROSS THE 12 DWELLING UNITS. AND THERE'S A SURFACE PARKING LOT TO THE REAR OF THE BUILDING.

43
00:11:58.683 --> 00:12:15.316
THE APPLICANT HAS PROPOSED TO ESTABLISH A STATE CREDENTIALED CARE FACILITY SERVING UP TO 16 PEOPLE AS AN INTERIM USE. THE CLIENT POPULATION WOULD CONSIST OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED HOMELESSNESS WHO ARE IN RECOVERY FROM SUBSTANCE ABUSE DISORDERS WHO ARE ALSO PARENTS OF MINOR

44
00:12:15.316 --> 00:12:30.783
CHILDREN. TWO OF THE ONE-BEDROOM UNITS WOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO BE USED AS PART OF THE PROPOSAL. THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF RESIDENTS IN THE UN2 ZONING DISTRICT IS 16. AND IT CANNOT GO ANY FARTHER

45
00:12:30.783 --> 00:12:47.816
THAN THAT WITHOUT PURSUING A REZONING THAT MIGHT POTENTIALLY REQUIRE AOMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT. 16 IS THE ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM HERE. AND THE 16 PEOPLE WOULD APPLY BOTH THOSE IN TREATMENT AND TO THE CHILDREN LIVING IN THE FACILITY. SO TWO OF THE BEDROOMS WOULD BASICALLY

46
00:12:47.816 --> 00:13:04.083
NOT BE USED AS PART OF THE PROPOSAL. THE OTHER 16 BEDROOMS WOULD BE USED AND IT WOULD BE ONE RESIDENT PER BEDROOM. THE EXPIRATION DATE PROPOSED BY THE APPLICANT IS APRIL 1ST. IT SAYS 3031. THAT'S NOT RIGHT. 2031. SO

47
00:13:04.083 --> 00:13:22.383
THIS IS THE SITE. IT HAS BEEN IN THE PAST JUST KIND OF A STANDARD RESIDENTIAL BUILDING WITH THE 12 DWELLING UNITS. APPLICANT INDICATED SOME ARE CURRENTLY VACANT. OTHERS ARE PURSUING EVICTION PROCEEDINGS FOR LEASE

48
00:13:22.383 --> 00:13:38.766
VIOLATIONS. ANDO THE ENTIRE BUILDING WILL BE VACANT AND AVAILAE FOR THE USE. HERE IS THE SITE PLAN SHOWING THE BUILDING FOOTPRINT WITH THE SURFACE PARKING SPACES ALONG THE ALLEY TO THE REAR. AND THE FLOOR PLANS. THIS IS THE FIRST FLOOR

49
00:13:38.766 --> 00:13:57.733
PLAN. IT'S KIND OF A GARDEN LEVEL MODEL WHERE THERE'S A PARTIAL GARDEN LEVEL ON THE BASEMENT LEVEL. THE GRADE OUT UNITS ARE THOSE THAT WILL NOT BE USED AS PART OF THE STATE CREDENTIALED CARE FACILITY. AND THEN ON THE UPPER FLOORS EACH

50
00:13:57.733 --> 00:14:14.033
HAVE TWO ONE-BEDROOM UNITS AND TWO TWO-BEDROOM UNITS AND THOSE WILL ALL BE USED AS PART OF THE PROPOSAL. HERE'S SOME PHOTOS PRESENTED BY THE APPLICANT OF THE BUILDING ITSELF. SO FOR AN INTERIM USE PERMIT. INTERIM USE IS ALLOWED AS CONDITIONAL USE

51
00:14:14.033 --> 00:14:30.333
WITHIN A ZONING DISTRICT BUT WITH AN INTERIM USE, A TIMELINE CAN BE ATTACHED TO THAT. THE USE HAS TO COMPLY WITH THE FINDINGS FOR A CONDITIONAL USE. THE PROPOSAL HERE IS TO ESTABLISH ESSENTIALLY KIND OF A HOUSING USE FOR FOLKS WHO ARE IN

52
00:14:30.333 --> 00:14:48.516
RECOVERY AT AN OUT-PATIENT SITE. THOSE ARE OUTLINED IN THE STAFF REPORT. AS FAR AS THE SPECIFIC FINDINGS FOR INTERIM USE PERMIT, ITSELF, T FIRST ONE IS THAT THE INTERIM USE IS ALLOWED AS A CONDITIONAL USE IN THE ZONING

53
00:14:48.516 --> 00:15:04.283
DISTRICT. THAT IS MET HERE. THERE IS A MAXIMUM OF 16 PERSONS ALLOWED IN THE ZONING DISTRICT. THAT HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED IN THE REPORT AND IS ONE OF THE CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL. THE PROPOSED USE SHALL CONFORM TO THE ZONING CODE AS IF IT WERE ESTABLISHED AS A CONDITIONAL

54
00:15:04.283 --> 00:15:19.950
USE. THOSE ARE MET. THE APPLICANT HAS PROPOSED AN EXPIRATION DATE OF APRIL 1ST, 2031, TO COMPLY WITH THE THIRD FINDING THAT IT NOT BE OPEN ENDED AND EXPIRE NO MORE THAN FIVE YEARS FROM THE DATE

55
00:15:19.950 --> 00:15:36.050
APPROVED. STAFF IS RECOMMENDING WITH TWO INTERIM USE CONDITIONS. THE FIRST IS THAT WE'RE JUST CODIFYING THAT EXPIRATION DATE OF APRIL 1ST, 2031. AND THAT NUMBER TWO, IS THAT THERE SHALL BE NO MORE THAN 16 PEOPLE RESIDING IN THE FACILITY AS PART

56
00:15:36.050 --> 00:15:53.150
OF THE APPROVAL. THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT PRESENTATION. I AM GOING TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. AND SEE IF

57
00:15:53.150 --> 00:16:10.116
THERE'S ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO COMMENT ON THIS ITEM. WELCOME. >> YES. THANK YOU, CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE. MY NAME IS JANINE AND I A ACTUALLY THE OWNER AND OCCUPANT OF THE BUILDING RIGHT TO THE SOUTH. SO

58
00:16:10.116 --> 00:16:27.583
I'M IN OPPOSITION AT THIS TIME. I'VE ALREADY SUBMITTED A WRITTEN DOCUMENT THAT'S FAIRLY LENGTHY. I'M SORRY IT'S SO LONG BUT I WANTED YOU TO HAVE FULL INFORMATION. MY WRITTEN COMMENTS WILL BE FTHER IN DEPTH SO I'LL TRY TO BE AS BRIEF AS POSSIBLE. WE SHARE A LEGAL EASEMENT WITH

59
00:16:27.583 --> 00:16:44.016
THIS PROPERTY. WHICH MEANS THERE IS AN INGRESS, EGRESS, MAINTENANCE AND WHERE YOU CAN PARK THAT HAS TO BE MAINTAINED. SO WE DO HAVE A LEGAL BASIS FOR WHAT HAPPENS THERE. MY BACKGROUND IS IN NON-PROFIT AND EDUCATIONAL SOCIAL SERVICE

60
00:16:44.016 --> 00:17:01.316
PROGRAMS. I HAVE A STAFF OR CONSULTANT ORIGINATING DEVELOPED WITHIN THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS, HEEPIN COUNTY, AND EVEN NATIONALLY. ONE SUCH PROGRAM DID SERVE HOMELESS FAMILIES IN THEIR JOURNEY TO ACHIEVE ECONOMIC STABILITY WITHIN A FAMILY AND CHILD DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM. FIRST

61
00:17:01.316 --> 00:17:17.016
AND FOREMOST, MY OBJECTIONS ARE NOT ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO ARE GOING TO BE SERVED. IT'S ABOUT THE STRUCTURE OF THE ORGANIZATION PROGRAM POLICIES AND PROCEDURES, AND THE STAFF WHO ARE GOING TO ADMINISTER THE PROGRAM. I'M TROUBLED THAT A DHS LICENSED PROGRAM, HEALTHY LIVING

62
00:17:17.016 --> 00:17:32.883
HOMECARE LLC PROVIDED SERVICES WITHIN 2222 BLAISDELL BUILDING WITH DOCUMENTED ISSUES WITH SERVICE PROVIDED IN APPROPRIATE OUTCOMES FOR THE CLIENTS. RECORD KEEPING AND DOCUMENTATION ARE A SNAPSHOT FOR HOW PROGRAMS TREAT

63
00:17:32.883 --> 00:17:49.116
THEIR CLIENTS. REVIEW INTO HOW WELL THE PROGRAM IS RUN AND WHETHER OR NOT THEY CAN ACHIEVE THE OUTCOMES. PATHWAY TO RECOVERY HAS HAD CITATIONS REGARDING THEIRAIN MEDICAL SITE. DEVELOPING A SOCIAL SERVICE PROGRAM IS ENTIRELY DIFFERENT IN SCOPE. I WOULD LIKE THE CITY COUNCIL TO REVIEW

64
00:17:49.116 --> 00:18:05.716
WHETHER THEY HAVE THE CAPACITY TO DEVELOP AND OPERATE A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT KIND OF PROGRAM PRIOR TO APPROVAL. GOOD INTENTIONS AND REVISION MUST BE -- COMMITMENT TO MEETING 100% OF REQUIRED REGULATIONS ON A DAILY BASIS. SECONDLY --

65
00:18:05.716 --> 00:18:22.550
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> MAY I FINISH? >> WRAP IT UP, PLEASE. GO AHEAD, WRAP IT UP. >> I'LL JUST TRY TO DO SOME QUICK THINGS THAT THERE ALREADY TWO OTHER PROGRAMS WITHIN A STONE'S THROW OF THIS SITE. ONE HAS A BOARD AND LODGE LICENSE

66
00:18:22.550 --> 00:18:39.050
WHICH IS WHAT THE ORGANIZATION WANTS TO GET. BOTH ARE RESIDENTIAL CARE. AND I'LL DO MY FINAL STATEMENT. >> MA'AM. >> FINALLY, THE PLANNING AND DISCUSSIONS BY INTERESTED PARTIES APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN COMPLETED IN A VACUUM WITHOUT COMMUNITY AWARENESS AND SUPPORT.

67
00:18:39.050 --> 00:18:55.316
A LEVEL OF TRANSPARENCY WITHIN APPROPRIATE STEP OF THE PLANNIN >> THANK YOU, MA'AM. I APPRECIATE IT. >> MAY I JUST ADD ONE THING? >> NO, YOU'RE OUT OF TIME. >> ADD IT TO THE CLERK. >> MAY I? THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR TELLING ME.

68
00:18:55.316 --> 00:19:12.850
>> ANYONE ELSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? >> I'LL JUST NOTE FOR EVERYONE, AND YOURSELF, MA'AM, SINCE YOU DIDN'T FINISH YOUR REMARK, YOU CAN TAKE THE WRITTEN REMARKS. THE CLERKS WILL TAKE THEM AND PUT THEM IN THE PUBLIC RECORD

69
00:19:12.850 --> 00:19:29.383
AND EVERY MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC WILL BE ABLE TO REVIEW THAT. >> HI, MY NAME IS TAMAR, I LIVE WITHIN 300 FEET OF THE FACILITY. I WANT TO ECHO SOME OF THE COMMENTS IN THAT I URGE THE COUNSELOR IN PARTICULAR TO

70
00:19:29.383 --> 00:19:46.733
REVIEW VERY CLOSELY WHETHER THE STATE CREDENTIALED CARE FACILITY IS ABLE TO SUFFICIENTLY MEET THE CARE AND THE SAFETY OF THE RESIDENTS THAT ARE IN IT.

71
00:19:46.733 --> 00:20:04.400
CLUDING WILL IT HAVE 24-HOUR QUALIFIED PERSONNEL ON SITE TAKING CARE OF THE PEOPLE OF THE FACILITY. AND WHETHER THE FACILITY ITSELF ARE MEETING THE STATE REQUIREMENTS. THERE ARE NO MOLD ISSUES OR OTHER ISSUES. IT'S A BUILDIN THAT HAS BEEN

72
00:20:04.400 --> 00:20:23.183
THERE FOR SOME TIME. THAT IS ALL. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH. ANYONE ELSE? >> HI. MY NAME IS MEGAN NA VARO.

73
00:20:23.183 --> 00:20:40.983
I WORK AT CITY OF LAKES WALDORF SCHOOL. I LOOK IN ADMINISTRATION OVER THERE AND I'M IN CHARGE OF OUR SAFETY COMMITTEE OVER AT THE SCHOOL. I REALLY DON'T FEEL LIKE I HAD ENOUGH TIME TO PREPARE A LOT OF INFORMATION THAT I'D LIKE TO SHARE ABOUT THIS BECAUSE WE WERE NOTIFIED AND THEN THE HEARING WAS SO CLOSE. SO I JUST

74
00:20:40.983 --> 00:20:59.316
WOULD LIKE TO MAKE NOTE OF THAT. WE'VE HAD A LOT GOING ON IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD RECENTLY. AND WE HAVE CONCERNS AS A SCHOOL WHO OUR FOUNDATIONAL MOTHERS OF THIS SCHOOL, WHICH IS A WALDORF

75
00:20:59.316 --> 00:21:18.016
SCHOOL, BELIEVE IN BEING AN MEMBER OF THE COMMUNITY. SHARE WHAT WE BRING AS A WALDORF SCHOOL TO THE RESIDENTS WITHIN THAT AREA. WE DON'T OPERATE IN A VACUUM AND WANT TO BRING IN THE COMMUNITY. HOWEVER, WE HAVE BIG

76
00:21:18.016 --> 00:21:34.283
CONCERNS ABOUT ANOTHER FACILITY COMING INTO THE AREA WHILE WE ARE ALSO TRYING TO MANAGE A LOT OF THE VIOLENCEHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE AREA. AND IT IS IMPACTING BUSINESSES. BLAISDELL

77
00:21:34.283 --> 00:21:49.316
MANOR, JANET WHO RUNS IT WAS NOT ABLE TO BE HERE TODAY. THEY MIGHT HAVE TO MAKE OTHER ALTERNATIVE DECISIONS BECAUSE WE ARE NOT GETTING THE BUSINS IN THE AREA THAT WE USED TO. SO THE CONCERNS THAT WE HAVE ARE WHO IS RUNNING THIS PROGRAM EXACTLY. IS

78
00:21:49.316 --> 00:22:06.783
SOMEONE GOING TO BE ON SITE 24/7? WE HAVE ♪OTHER AREAS OR OTHER APARTMENTS IN THE AREA WHERE THE PEOPLE MANAGING THE PROPERTIES ARE OUT OF STATE. AND THAT IS VERY CONCERNING TO US THAT WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE SOMEBODY ON SITE TO MANAGE THIS.

79
00:22:06.783 --> 00:22:24.016
OUR KIDS ARE IN THE PLAY YARD. WE HAVE 30 SEX OFFENDERS WITHIN THATIP CODE CURRENTLY. AND WE HAVE BIG STRONG CONCERNS ABOUT IF OUR STUDENTS WILL BE SAFE. WILL THIS FACILITY BE MONITORED APPROPRIATELY. AND SO MORE

80
00:22:24.016 --> 00:22:40.150
QUESTIONS AROUND THIS. MY REQUEST IS THAT WE PAUSE THIS. >> THANK YOU. >> A LITTLE BIT FURTHER SO THAT ANSWERED PRIOR TO MAKING THIS DECISION. >> THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. >> THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE WOULD LIKE TO MAKE COMMENTS? PLEASE

81
00:22:40.150 --> 00:22:56.783
STATE YOUR NAME. >> MY NAME IS MARY. >> GET CLOSE TO THE MICROPHONE THERE. >>HI. MY NAME'S MARY ALI. I'M THE HR DIRECTOR AT PATHWAY TO RECOVERY. OUR PROGRAM JUST TO ADDRESS THE MADAM'S ISSUE. WE'VE

82
00:22:56.783 --> 00:23:14.300
BEEN RUNNING A PROGRAM FOR A YEAR AND HALF RIGHT NOW. IT'S A DETOX, WITHDRAWAL MANAGEMENT, AND METHADONE CLINIC AND IOP. WE HAVE THOSE THREE PROGRAMS IN THE SOUTH MINNEAPOLIS AS COMBINATION

83
00:23:14.300 --> 00:23:29.966
OF CONTINUOUS CARE. WE DO HAVE OTHER HOUSES IN MINNEAPOLIS AND THEIR GRH HOUSING CALLED BRIGHTSIDE. IT'S PUBLIC INFORMATION. GRH HAS COME TO US, THE COUNTY HAS COME TO US MULTIPLE TIMES, AND WE HAVE NOT

84
00:23:29.966 --> 00:23:47.666
FAILED ONE INSPECTION. SO ON OUR -- IT'S SUPERVISED 24 HOURS. WE HAVE CAMERAS AND WE HAVE ACTUAL STAFF. AND THE LADY THAT WAS SAYING THE CITATION OF DHS, YOU GUYS CAN LOOK IT UP. EVERY DHS PROGRAM GETS CITED. AND OUR

85
00:23:47.666 --> 00:24:02.900
CITATION WAS NOTHING OF HARMING ANY HUMAN BEING OR ANY MALPRACTICE OR ANY OF THAT. IT WAS QUALITY OF DOCUMENTATIONS. AND USUALLY THAT'S JUST THE PREFERENCE OF WHEN DHS COMES IN OF HOW THEY WANT THE DOCUMENTATION. IT WAS NOT -- HAD

86
00:24:02.900 --> 00:24:20.333
NOTHING TO DO WITH A MALPRACTICE OR GRIEVANCES OR SOMEBODY'S LIFE AT RISK. WE HAD 15 GRADUATES FROM OUR PROGR SUCCESSFULLY. THAT WENT INTO ACTUALLY SUMMIT ACADEMY AND BECAME HVAC AND WENT

87
00:24:20.333 --> 00:24:37.750
TO SUMMIT ACADEMY FOR ELECTRICIAN, AND THEY WENT IN TO FOR CARPETRY AND HAVE SUCCESSFULLY GRADUATED. WE'RE NOT JUST A TREATMENT CENTER. BUT WE HELP PEOPLE WITH REHABILITATION. SO WE'VE BEEN DOING PRETTY FAIRLY WELL. AND THE HOUSES THAT WE HAVE, THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY COMPLAINTS. NO

88
00:24:37.750 --> 00:24:54.150
POLICE CALLS FOR THE HOUSES. WE HAVE STAFF THAT ARE TRAINED FOR DEESCALATION. OTHER HOUSES FOR MEN IN RECOVERY. BUT THIS IS PARENT IN RECOVERY. THEY'RE ABLE TO HAVE THEIR CHIREN WHILE THEY'RE DOING RECOVERY. AND THEY'LL BE HAVING DAYCARE SERVIC TOO.

89
00:24:54.150 --> 00:25:12.666
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH. CLERK, IF YOU CAN PLEASE SIGN HER ON THE RECORD. THAT WILL BE GOOD. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK?

90
00:25:12.666 --> 00:25:28.266
>> GOOD AFTERNOON. MY NAME'S ERIC LARSON AND I AM A HOMEOWNER IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. AND IN FACT, MY PROPERTY ACTUALLY ON PILSBURY AVENUE IS DIRECTLY

91
00:25:28.266 --> 00:25:44.433
ACROSS THE 2222 BLAISDELL AVENUE. I HAVE DIRECT EXPERIENCE WITH WHAT HAS GONE ON THERE IN THE PAST. MY CONCERN IS MORE FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD, THE PROXIMITY TO THE OTHER NUMBER O GROUP HOMES AND RESIDENTIAL HOMES IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. THERE ARE TWO

92
00:25:44.433 --> 00:26:01.333
MORE PROPERTIES ON PILLSBURY AVENUE. THERE ARE A NUMBER MORE PROPERTIES ON THE OTHER SIDE. THE EAST SIDE OF NICOLLET, AND ALSO THE PROXIMI TO THE WALDORF SCHOOL. IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING IT'S ABOUT 200 FEET FROM 2222 BLAISDELL TO THE

93
00:26:01.333 --> 00:26:18.333
PROPERTY OF THE WALDORF SCHOOL. MY CONCERN IS IF THAT IS IN VIOLATION OF THE 350-FEET ZONG RESTRICTIONS. MY ALSO CONCERN IS JUST IN REGARDS TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD AS A WHOLE. THE NEIGHBORHOOD THIS YEAR HAS SEEN

94
00:26:18.333 --> 00:26:33.400
A LOT AS WE'VE ALL KNOWN. IT'S BEEN KIND OF THE EPICENTER FOR WHAT HAS HAPPENED WITH THE DHS AND ICE INVASION IN MINNEAPOLIS WITH ALEX PRETTI BEING MURDERED JUST THREE OR FOUR BLOCKS AWAY FROM THIS AREA. THE NEIGHBORHOOD

95
00:26:33.400 --> 00:26:50.200
HAS SEEN A LOT. IT'S TRYING TO RECO RECO RECOVER IT'S BEEN VERY, VERY DIFFICULT. WHAT THEY ARE PLANNING TO DO WITH THIS HOME AND HOW THEY WANT TO OPERATE IT. I THINK JUST THE PROXIMITY TO ALL THE OTHER PLACES IN THE

96
00:26:50.200 --> 00:27:07.333
NEIGHBORHOOD AT THIS TIME IS NOT RIGHT. I'D LIKE TO SEE IT PAUSE FOR A MOMENT SO WE CAN SEE JUST EXACTLY HOW THE NEIGHBORHOOD RET WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT ARE MET BY THE PATHWAYS PEOPLE. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH. ARE THERE ANYONE ELSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO

97
00:27:07.333 --> 00:27:24.000
SPEAK? SEEING NONE, I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. AND SEE HERE, A COUPLE OF COUNCIL MEMBERS SIGNED UP. BUT I AM FIRST. SO I DO LIKE TO MAKE A COMMENT. HOPEFULLY MAKE A MOTION

98
00:27:24.000 --> 00:27:41.000
AT THE END OF MY COMMENT. IS TO PATHWAY RECOVERY OR DR. SADIK'S PROJECT ESPECIALLY IN THE FRANKLIN AREA HAS BEEN A GREAT THING TO HAPPEN TO THE

99
00:27:41.000 --> 00:27:55.900
NEIGHBORHOOD. IT'S A PLACE WHERE FOLKS THAT ARE DEALING WITH A LOT OF SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND ADDICTION GO TO TREATMENT. MAINLY, IT'S MINORITY FOLKS, NATIVE AMERICAN, EAST AFRICAN, YOUNG MEN OR WOMEN WHO ARE

100
00:27:55.900 --> 00:28:12.166
DEALING WITH IT. AND I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO TOUR AND TO LOOK AT THE PLACE. AND IT'S AMAZING THING THEY DO THERE. NOT JUST RELEASE THE PERSON, TREAT THEM, BUT THEY KEEP THEM AND GIVE THEM ALL THE NECESSARY OPPORTUNITY

101
00:28:12.166 --> 00:28:29.533
FOR THEM TO SUCCEED IN LIFE, IF THAT IS JOB CREATION, SCHOOLING, CAREER TRAINING, AND ALSO HOUSING TO MAKE SURE GRADUATION IS HAPPENING. I HAVE SEEN MANY OF THE YOUNG PEOPLE THAT I CONTINUE MEETING IN MY WARD, YOU

102
00:28:29.533 --> 00:28:45.233
KNOW, BEING SUCCESSFUL AND ACTUALLY WORKING THERE RIGHT NOW. SO I WANT TO THANK -- SPECIAL THANKS TO CIT STAFF WHO HAS BEEN THERE FROM THE GET GO YEARS AGO FROM WHEN THIS RECOVERY CENTER POPPED UP IN

103
00:28:45.233 --> 00:29:00.533
WARD 6. I KNOW THIS IS NOT RELATED TO WARD 6 AREA. BUT I JUST WANTED TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT. AND ALSO, I THINK WHAT THE NEIGHBORS RAISED IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR US TO NOTE TO

104
00:29:00.533 --> 00:29:16.600
MAKE SURE THERE'S A PLAN, AS ONE OF THE REPRESENTATIVE PERSON FROM PATHWAY TO RECOVERY MENTIONED, THERE IS A PLAN IN PLACE FOR SAFETY TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PROTOCOLS ARE BEING

105
00:29:16.600 --> 00:29:33.600
FOLLOWED. YOU KNOW, I DON'T SEE A LOT OF CONCERN WHY WE SHOULD DENY THIS INTERIM USE PERMIT. THIS IS A SERVICE THAT OUR RESIDENTS AND NEIGHBORS, YOUR NEIGHBORS AND CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS NEED THAT SERVICES. DI

106
00:29:33.600 --> 00:29:48.733
AND IT'S HARD TO COME BY A PLACE WITH ALL ENHANCE, ALL SERVICES. NOT JUST HOUSING, BUT ALSO PLACES THAT YOU CAN GET SPECIALIZED DOCTORS AND PROFESSIONALS TO HELP YOU THROUGH YOUR RECOVERY. SO I WILL APPROVE THIS ITEM. I'LL MOVE

107
00:29:48.733 --> 00:30:06.133
THIS ITEM FOR APPROVAL. DISP I'LL ASK SECOND. >> SECOND. >> WITH THAT, I WILL RECOGNIZE COUNCIL MEMBER SHAFFER. >> TNK YOU, CHAIR OSMAN. YES, I HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO TOUR PATHWAY TO RECOVERY PROBABLY ABOUT A MONTH AND A HALF AGO.

108
00:30:06.133 --> 00:30:23.066
AND WAS VERY ENCOURAGED BY WHAT I SAW THERE. I DO HAVE ONE REQUEST TO CPED SFF BEFORE THURSDAY. I DO KNOW THAT THIS IS NOT THE ONLY FACILITY THAT I KNOW IS IN THE PIPELINE. BECAUSE

109
00:30:23.066 --> 00:30:40.483
OF SOME OF MY OTHER -- ISSUES IN MY WARD. SO I WOULD JUST LIKE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THE NUMBER IS EITHER ON A MAP OR A TOTAL NUMBER OF FACILITIES IN THIS AREA OR ADJACENT SERVICES. BOTH

110
00:30:40.483 --> 00:30:56.333
IN STEVENS SQUARE AND UPPER WHITTIER. IF YOU HAVE THAT DATA NOW, THAT WOULD BE GREAT. IF YOU DON'T, I'M HAPPY TO HAVE YOU REACH OUT OFFLINE BEFORE THURSDAY. >> COUNCIL MEMBER SHAFFER, CHAIR OSMAN, KIMBERLY HOLEAN. I

111
00:30:56.333 --> 00:31:13.350
AWKWARDLY HAVET ON MY LAPTOP, WHICH YOU CAN'T SEE. SO WE HAVE FFERENT REQUIREMENTS FOR DIFFERENT SIZES OF WHAT WE CALL STATE CREDENTIALED CARE FACILITIES. SIX OR FEWER DOES NOT HAVE A SPACING REQUIREMENT. THE SITE BEFORE YOU TODAY DOES HAVE A SPACING REQUIREMENT. SO

112
00:31:13.350 --> 00:31:30.983
THIS MAP, WHICH -- IF I PUT IT UP HERE, WOULD THAT SHOW IT? >> I'LL TRY.

113
00:31:30.983 --> 00:31:47.183
>> WILL IT ACTUALLY SHOW UP THERE, WITHOUT BREAKING ANYTHING. >> MAYBE HDMI.

114
00:31:47.350 --> 00:32:11.466
>> TAKE YOUR TIME. >> THERE WE GO. >> INCREDIBLE. >> YAY. GREAT. >> LOOK AT THAT. >> HUGE THANK YOU TO THE CLERK. SO WHAT'S IN FRONT OF YOU HERE IS A SPACING MAP. SO WHAT YOU'RE SEEING AS THE YELLOW CIRCLES, THE BLACK DOTS IN THE MIDDLE ARE

115
00:32:11.466 --> 00:32:27.800
STATE CARE CREDENTIALED FACILITIES. AND THEN THE BUFFER AROUND THEM IS THE REQUIRED SPACING. YOU WILL NOTEHERE ARE SOME HERE THAT DON'T MEET SPACING FROM EACH OTHER. 2222 BLAISDELL JUST WENT OFF THE MAP

116
00:32:27.800 --> 00:32:46.433
WHEN I TOUCHED IT. BUT IT DOES MEET SPACING. AND THIS ISN'T, AGAIN, A COMPREHENSIVE LIST BECAUSE THOSE WITH SIX OR FEWER PERSONS ARE NOT SUBJECT TO A SPACING REQUIREMENT SO THEY'RE NOT ON THE MAP. >> THANK YOU. I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT. BUT IF YOU

117
00:32:46.433 --> 00:33:01.733
COULD FOLLOW UP WITH DOES THIS INCLUDE COUNTY FACILITIES IN THIS SPACE AS WELL AS CITY? >> S WHAT WE CONSIDER A STATE CREDENTIALED CARE FACILITY IS SOMETHING THAT HAS A SPECIFIC LICENSE TYPE FROM DHS THAT QUALIFIES IT AS SUCH. OFTENTIMES

118
00:33:01.733 --> 00:33:18.866
THOSE ALSO HAVE A CITY BOARD AND LODGE LICENSE. A COMPREHENSIVE LIST OF THINGS EXISTING IN T CITY OR HAVE APPROVALS BUT HAVEN'T YET BEEN ESTABLISHED. >> OKAY. I WILL FOLLOW UP WITH YOU. I WOULD LIKE MORE OF A COMPREHENSIVE LIST OF

119
00:33:18.866 --> 00:33:36.916
EVERYTHING. IN THIS PARTICULAR EA. >> OKAY. >> IF YOU WANT ALL THE CATEGORIES, I CAN SEND THOSE TO YOU AFTER THE MEETING. >> THAT WOULD BE GREAT. I WILL UNPLUG IF THAT'S ALL RIGHT. >> COUNCIL MEMBER CHUGHTAI.

120
00:33:36.916 --> 00:33:53.650
>> THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR, MR. VICE ESIDENT. I AM WONDERING IF STAFF CAN SPEAK TO JUST THE EXTENSIVE PROCESS THAT YOU GO THROUGH IN CONSIDERING AN INTERIM USE PERMIT BEFORE IT IS

121
00:33:53.650 --> 00:34:09.383
BROUGHT FORWARD BEFORE THE BODY FOR APPROVAL. AND I DON'T KNOW IF LINDSEY CAN COME BACK. >> YEAH. THANK YOU. CHAIR OSMAN, COUNCIL MEMBER CHUGHTAI. SO WHEN WE'RE CONSIDERING ANY SORT OF CONDITIONAL USE, CONDITIONAL USES ARE THINGS THAT ARE ALLOWED

122
00:34:09.383 --> 00:34:25.016
IN THE ZONING CODE AS LONG AS THEY MEET CERTAIN CONDITIONS. THOS CONDITIONS ARE LAID OUT BY STATE LAW. AND BASICALLY THE BULLET POINTS HERE JUST ASK OR THEY JUST HIGHLIGHT WHAT THOSE CONDITIONS ARE. AND THEN STAFF

123
00:34:25.016 --> 00:34:42.616
ANALYZES EACH POINT. SO THE, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THESE QUESTIONS ARE MORE ABOUT IS THIS USE APPROPRIATE FOR THE DISTRICT. AND SO WE ARE NOT DIVING INTO QUESTIONS OF LIKE WHO IS THE OPERATOR? IT'S MORE ABOUT THE

124
00:34:42.616 --> 00:34:59.616
USE ITSELF. RIGHT? SO WE'RE ANALYZING THE USE ITSELF WHEN WE'RE ANALYZING THESE FINDINGS. FOR THIS FIRST ONE, YOU KNOW, WILL TS USE BE DETRIMENTAL TO ENDANG THE PUBLIC HEALTH SAFETY OR WELFARE. RIGHT NOW

125
00:34:59.616 --> 00:35:16.450
IT'S A 12-IT APARTMENT BUILDING. IT MIGHT ACTUALLY HAVE FEWER RESIDENTS IN IT IN THE FUTURE AS A STATE CREDENTIALED CARE FACILITY THAN IT MIGHT AS AN APARTMENT BUILDING. SO IS THAT GOING TO BE, YOU KNOW, AND IT'S GOING TO STAY A RESIDENTIAL USE. THE APPLICANT IS GOING TO HAVE TO COMPLY WITH ANY LICENSE

126
00:35:16.450 --> 00:35:31.350
REQUIREMENTS FROM THE STATE AND FROM THE CITY AS WELL. AND THEN THE APPLICANT DID SHARE THAT IT WILL BE STAFFED 24/7. SO STAFF IS ABLE TO MAKE THAT FINDING THAT THIS IS NOT GOING TO HAVE A DETRIMENTAL IMPACT ON SURROUNDING USES. SECONDARY

127
00:35:31.350 --> 00:35:49.266
FINDING IS THE USE WILL NOT BE INJURIUS NOR WILL IT IMPEDE. STAFF FOUND THAT HAVING A RESIDENTIAL USE THAT'S SERVING PEOPLE. IT'S A PLACE FOR THEM TO LIVE AS THEY'RE GETTING OFFSITE

128
00:35:49.266 --> 00:36:06.600
TREATMENT WILL NOT BE HARMFUL TO THE SURROUNDING AREA, NOR WOULD IT IMPEDE DEVELOPMENT. NUMBER THREE HAS TO DO WITH UTILITIES, ACCESS ROADS. IT'S AN EXISTING APARTMENT BUILDING. STAFF WAS ABLE TO MAKE THAT FINDING. AND SAME GOES FOR NUMBER FOUR.

129
00:36:06.600 --> 00:36:20.750
INTERFACE WITH THE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM. THE SITE IS VERY WELL SERVED BY TRANSIT. VERY WELL SERVED BY BIKE INFRASTRUCTURE. AND IT ALSO HAS A LOT OF PARKING ON SITE AND SHUTTLE SERVICE FOR FOLKS WHO DON'T HAVE CARS. GIVEN ALL THOSE

130
00:36:20.750 --> 00:36:37.866
THINGS WE WERE ABLE TO FIND IT WAS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THOSE LABELED BY THE ZONING CODE. TOUCHED ON SOME ADDITIONAL COMMUNICATIONS OF WHAT THE ZONE WAS LOOKING AT IN TERMS OF THIS

131
00:36:37.866 --> 00:36:55.533
CASE. TO BE MET THAT THIS CONDITIONAL USE WILL NOT ITSELF BRING HARMS TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD, STAFF WAS ABLE TO MAKE THOSE FINDINGS. >> THAT'S SO HELPFUL. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I THINK IT'S ALSO REALLY HELPFUL THAT WE KNOW FOR A FACT AND AS PART OF THIS

132
00:36:55.533 --> 00:37:07.983
PROCESS THAT THERE WILL BE STAFF AVAILABLE 24/7 ON SITE. I HEAR THAT AS A CONCERN AND I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT HOPEFULLY

133
00:37:07.983 --> 00:37:29.466
IS RELIEF.  A SIGH OF RELIEF FOR NEIGHBORS. FOLKS RAISING QUESTIONS ABOUT THE REVIEW OF THE ENTITY ITSELF, THE APPLICANT. IS THAT FAIR TO SAY THAT'S MORE OF SOMETHING THAT FALLS WITHIN DHS'S JURISDICTION

134
00:37:29.466 --> 00:37:46.233
IN WHAT THEY DO OR IS IT UNUSUAL FOR US AT THE CITY TO NOT DO THAT TYPE OF IN DEPTH ANALYSIS OF POTENTIAL PEOPLE THAT ARE SEEKING PERMITS? I MEAN, I KNOW WHAT MY EXPERIENCE LOOKS LIKE FROM PREVIOUS TYPES OF CONTRACTS

135
00:37:46.233 --> 00:38:03.266
AND PERMIT APPROVALS. BUT IT MIGHT JUST BE HELPFUL FOR YOU TO SHED SOME LIGHT. >> THANKS, COUNCIL MEMBER OSMAN TYPICALLY WITH A LAND USE APPLICATION, WE ARE NOT LOOKING AT THE MERITS OF WHO IS APPLYING FOR THE APPLICATION. AND

136
00:38:03.266 --> 00:38:19.466
INSTEAD, WE'RE LOOKING AT THE USE. AND THE ONUS IS ON THE APPLICANT TO PROVIDE US INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT THE USE WILL BE AND HOW IT WILL FUNCTION IN THE CONTEXT. AND WITH CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS OR INTERIM USE PERMITS, AS YOU

137
00:38:19.466 --> 00:38:36.466
WILL, THAT DECISION MAKING KIND OF PYRAMID THAT WE THINK ABOUT. LIKE HOW MUCH LATITUDE DO DECISION MAKING BODIES HAVE OVER A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT. TYPICALLY IT'S WE'RE LOOKING AT THE USE ITSELF KIND OF DETACHED FROM THE APPLICANT AND HOW THE USE IS FUNCTIONING. WE'RE ALSO

138
00:38:36.466 --> 00:38:54.433
THINKING ABOUT IT AS THE CONDITIONAL USE SHOULD TYPICALLY BE APPROVED UNLESS THERE ARE CLEAR DOCUMENTED HARMS THAT CANNOT BE MITIGATED BY THE USE OF CONDITIONS. AND NOW THIS IS NOT A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT. IT'S AN INTERIM USE PERMIT. THERE IS AN ADDITIONAL TOOL ON THE TABLE REGARDING THE DURATION

139
00:38:54.433 --> 00:39:12.350
OF THE USE. RIGHT? AND SO TT COULD POTENTIALLY BE ANOTHER AVENUE THAT DECISION MAKERS CAN HAVE AS A CHECKPOINT TO SEE IF THERE HAVE BEEN ANY CONCERNS THAT HAVE ARISEN. BUT WHEN IT COMES TO, YOU KNOW, THE LICEN

140
00:39:12.350 --> 00:39:28.250
ITSELF, ALL OF THAT ENFORCEMENT WOULD COME THROUGH DHS AND CITY HEALTH DEPARTMENT THROUGH THE BOARD AND LODGE LICENSE. SO IF THERE WERE VIOLATIONS THERE, THAT WOULD COME THROUGH THAT WAY. I MEAN, ANOTHER THING TO CONSIDER IS THERE IS A CONDITION THAT STAFF HAS PROPOSED T PUT

141
00:39:28.250 --> 00:39:43.683
ON THE LAND U APPLICATION REGARDING THE NUMBER OF RESIDENTS. AND SO THAT IS SOMETHING THAT COULD BE ENFORCED FROM A ZONING PERSPECTIVE AS WELL. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I REALLY APPRECIATE THE ADDITIONAL CONTEXT. THANK YOU, MR. VICE PRESIDENT. I'M EXCITED TO

142
00:39:43.683 --> 00:39:59.916
SUPPORT THIS ITEM TODAY. >> THANK YOU, VICE CHAIR CHOWDHURY. >> THANK YOU. I'M IN QUEUE FOR COUNCIL MEMBER WARREN. I DID PUT MYSELF IN THERE FOR A SECOND TIME. BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THAT'S GONE FOR WHEN I WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK. JUST NOTING THAT. BUT GO

143
00:39:59.916 --> 00:40:15.000
AHEAD, COUNCIL MEMBER WARREN. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH, VICE CHAIR. I APPRECIATE YOU. SO SOME QUESTIONS FOR STAFF, AND THEN I ALSO HAVE QUESTIONS FOR OUR HR REPRESENTATIVE WHO'S HERE FOR

144
00:40:15.000 --> 00:40:32.916
THE COMPANY AS WELL. SO DOES THIS ORGANIZATN HOLD A 245D LICENSURE OR NO? SO YOU SAID IT'S AN INTERIM PERMIT? >> SO CHAIR OSMAN, COUNCIL MEMBER WARREN, THE DEFINITION I

145
00:40:32.916 --> 00:40:48.850
THE ZONING CODE OF STATE CREDENTIALED FACILITY HAS TO DO WITH A FACILITY LICENSED BY DHS. THERE'S A WHOLE MENU OF LICENSURE TYPES THAT FALL UNDER THAT. THE DURATION OF STAY IS MORE THAN 6 MONTHS. THAT'S THE CRUX OF A STATE CREDENTIALED

146
00:40:48.850 --> 00:41:07.016
FACILITY. I'M NOT ENTIRELY SURE WHAT EXACT LICENSE TYPE THIS APPLICANT HAS OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD. SO THAT MIGHT BE A BETTER QUESTION FOR THEM. >> SO THE INTERIM PERIOD WOULD BE FOR HOW LONG? >> THE MAXIMUM THAT AN INTER

147
00:41:07.016 --> 00:41:24.483
USE PERMIT CAN BE AUTHORIZE IS FIVE YEARS. THEY PROPOSED AN EXPIRATION DATE OF APRIL 1ST OF 2031. WHICH IS A LITTLE LESS THAN FIVE YEARS FROM TODAY. >> OKAY. THAT IS WHAT I NEEDED TO KNOW FROM YOU. AND SISTER, I

148
00:41:24.483 --> 00:41:41.283
DON'T -- PLEASE. >> MIRIAM. >> MIRIAM. OKAY. AND SO MIRIAM, YOU STATED THAT THE INDIVIDUAL RESIDENCE THAT WILL ALSO BE STA HAVE THEIR CHILDREN WITH THEM, CORRECT? >> RIGHT. YUP.

149
00:41:41.283 --> 00:41:58.366
>> OR BE WORKING ON SOME TYPE OF FAMILY REUNIFICATION AS PART OF THEIR CHEMICAL DEPENDENCY TREATMENT PROGRAM. >> CORRECT. >> THAT IS ADMIRABLE. AND WE NEED A LOT MORE OF THAT AS IT PERTAINS TO THAT. SO I AM LOOKING AT THE FACT THAT CHILD

150
00:41:58.366 --> 00:42:17.033
PROTECTION SERVICES WILL BE INVOLVED IN A GREAT DEAL WITH THIS ORGANIZATION AND WITH THE FAMILIES THAT ARE STAYING THERE, CORRECT? >> ABSOLUTELY. >> AND SO THEY WILLLSO HAVE TO COMPLY WITH SAFETY PLANS THAT ARE PUT INTO PLACE WITH CHILD

151
00:42:17.033 --> 00:42:31.233
PROTECTION SERVICES AND OUR HENNEPIN COUNTY COURT SYSTEMS AND DHS AS WELL? >> ABSOLUTELY. WHEN THEY'RE UNG TODDLERS, YES. >> WITH CHILDREN, PERIOD? >> YES. >> ESPECIALLY WHEN WE'RE WORK OG REUNIFICATION AND THOSE THINGS.

152
00:42:31.233 --> 00:42:48.966
THERE WILL BE REGULAR VISITS FROM INDIVIDUALS LIKE GARDIUM ADD LITEMS AND CHILD PROTECTION SERVICES THAT WILL BE COMING IN.

153
00:42:48.966 --> 00:43:05.666
FOLLOWING NEW PLANS. >> ABSOLUTELY. WE'LL BE SUBMITTING NEW PLANS WEEKLY. >> THAT IS CORRECT. AND MOST PEOPLE WHO ARE IN THOSE TYPE OF PROGRAMS, AND I KNOW BECAUSE I AM HENNEPIN COUNTY FOSTER AND HAVE WORKED WITH HENNEPIN COUNTY WITH FAMILY REUNIFICATION AND

154
00:43:05.666 --> 00:43:20.566
72-HOUR HOLDS AND ALL OF THOSE THINGS. PEOPLE WHO ARE IN THOSE ARE ON WHAT'S CALLED A COLOR WHEEL. SO IT'S RANDOM. IT'S NOT LIKE THEY SAY HEY, I GOTTA BE

155
00:43:20.566 --> 00:43:38.300
CLEAN BY THURSDAY. IT COULD BE SATURDAY BY 6:00. IT COULD BE THIS TIME. YOU DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY'RE GOING TO POP UP, SHOW UP AND WHAT HAVE YOU. AND THOSE ARE THINGS THAT ARE DONE AT RANDOM. WHICH WILL MEAN THAT THE ENVIRONMENT WILL HAVE TO BE EXTREMELY SAFE AND SECURE OTHERWISE IT COULD CAUSE FOR

156
00:43:38.300 --> 00:43:53.766
IMMEDIATE DISCHARGE FROM THAT TYPE OF PROGRAM. >> CORRECT. AND THERE MIGHT BE THEIR KIDS COULD BE TAKEN AWAY. NOT ONLY JUST RANDOM, WE DO OBSERVATION TOO. IT'S RANDOM. IF IT'S A FEMALE, A FEMALE WILL GO

157
00:43:53.766 --> 00:44:10.700
IN THE BATHROOM OR IF IT'S A MALE TO MAKE SURE THE SAMPLE IS NOT TAMPERED WITH. >> IN THIS FACILITY FORAMILIES WHO ARE WORKING ON REUNIFICATION FOR THEIR CHILDREN ON THIS, IS

158
00:44:10.700 --> 00:44:27.100
THERE SUPERVISE VISITATION SPACING? IS THAT ALSO HAPPENING THERE TOO? >> THAT'S CORRECT. >> SO THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT I THINK FOR THE PUBLIC TO KNOW AND UNDERSTAND WHERE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. AND I HEARD A LOT OF CONCERNS, RESIDENTS AND EDUCATORS AND THINGS LIKE THAT, WHO ARE RAISING CONCERN. WHICH I

159
00:44:27.100 --> 00:44:42.966
WOULD RAISE CONCERN WITH A SITUATION LIKE THIS AS WELL. BUT WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT FAMILY REUNIFICATION, WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT CARE OVER CRIMINALIZATION, WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT FAMILIES BEING BROUGHT TOGETHER AND NOT HOLDING SOMEONE'S PAST AGAINST THEM. BUT

160
00:44:42.966 --> 00:44:58.866
REALLY TRYING TO WORK ON STRENGTHENING THE FAMILY DYNAMICS, THESE ARE IMPORTANT THINGS TO HIGHLIGHT WITH RESPECT TO THE WORK THAT IS BEING DONE WITH THESE INDIVIDUAL COMMUNITY MEMBERS, AND REASSURING THAT SAFETY IN THIS SITUATION

161
00:44:58.866 --> 00:45:14.333
DEFINITELY IS GOING TO BE A VERY HIGH PRIORITY WHERE IT WOULD BE EXTREMELY DIFFERENT IF WE WERE LOOKING AT A PLACE FOR SINGLE MALES OR SINGLE FEMALES, RIGHT? SO THAT WOULD KIND OF LOOK A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT. WHERE

162
00:45:14.333 --> 00:45:31.900
THESE INDIVIDUALS ARE WALKING A FAR MORE STRENUOUS PATH IN THEIR SOBRIETY BECAUSE THEY'RE TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION THEIR CHILDREN. THEY'RE TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION REUNIFICATION AND MERGING. SO THE FACT THEY ARE

163
00:45:31.900 --> 00:45:48.300
NEAR A SCHOOL OPENS UP OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO LIVE, WORK, AND EDUCATE, RIGHT, IN A VERY CLOSE ENVIRONMENT. RIGHT? AND BEING THAT ENVIRONMENT AROUND OTHER COMMUNITIES AND CULTURAL DYNAMICS OF PEOPLE THAT KEEP THEM CENTERED IN THE COMMUNITY

164
00:45:48.300 --> 00:46:03.500
THAT I'M SURE A LOT OF THEM MAY COME FROM. RIGHT. TO REALLY WORK ON THEIR WELLNESS. I THINK THAT'S ADMIRABLE. SO I'LL BE SUPPORTING THIS. BUT I JUST WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT THOSE THINGS BECAUSE AS I WAS LISTENING, I

165
00:46:03.500 --> 00:46:19.566
DIDN'T HEAR A LOT OF EMPHASIS PLACED ON THAT. >> AND JUST TO ANSWER THE QUESTION THAT YOU HAD FOR THE YOUNG LADY. IT IS A 245G LICENSE. >> OH, IT'S A G NOT A D. >> IT'S A G FOR SUBSTANCE ABUSE.

166
00:46:19.566 --> 00:46:36.466
AND WE HAVE F ON THE OTHER SIDE WHICH IS WITHDRAWAL MANAGEMENT. >> WONDERFUL. PERFECT. GOOD TO KNOW. THANK YOU. >> ALL RIGHT. I'LL RECOGNIZE COUNCIL MEMBER SHAFFER. >> YES, I JUST HAD COUPLE OTHER QUESTIONS FOR FOLLOW UP ON CPED. COULD YOU JUST SPEAK TO THE FIVE-YEAR LENGTH. FIVE YEARS FOR

167
00:46:36.466 --> 00:46:53.766
AN INTERIM TYPICAL OR IS THAT UNUSUAL? AND THEN WHAT ARE THE REASONS FORHE LENGTH OF TIME. >> YEAH, CHAIR OSMAN, COUNCIL MEER SHAFFER. THE INTERIM USE PERMIT IS DEFINED IN THE ZONING CODE AS HAVING THE MAXIMUM OF FIVE YEARS OF DURATION. IT IS PRETTY COMMON THAT PEOPLE WILL APPLY FOR THE MAXIMUM DURATION

168
00:46:53.766 --> 00:47:09.266
JUST SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO KEEP COMING BACK TO CITY COUNCIL. YOU KNOW, YEAR AFTER YEAR. CERTAINLY, THERE ARE OTHER TIMES WHEN THE COUNCIL MIGHT APPLY A SHORTER DURATION OR THE APPLICANT MAY KNOW THAT THERE ARE DEVELOPMENT PLANS FOR THE

169
00:47:09.266 --> 00:47:24.933
SITE, AND THEY ONLY NEED THE USE FOR THREE YEARS OR SOMETNG BEFORE ANOTHER DEVELOPMENT HAPPENS. I WILL SAY THAT THE APPLICANT HAS EXPRESSED SOME INTEREST IN POTENTIALLY PURSUING A REZONING APPLICATION TO ALLOW FOR A GREATER NUMBER OF RESIDENTS ON THE SITE. WHETHER

170
00:47:24.933 --> 00:47:41.566
THAT HAPPENS OR NOT, I DON'T KNE ARE CHANGES TO THE INTERIMUSE, THEY CAN ALSO APPLY FOR JUST A PERMANENT INTERIM USE PERMIT AT THAT TIME. WHENEVER IT EXPIRES,

171
00:47:41.566 --> 00:47:58.316
THEY WOULD HAVE TO APPLY FOR AN -- BECAUSE INTERIM USES, THE IDEA BEHIND AN INTERIM USE PERMIT IS THAT IT MAYBE IT ALLOWS SOMETHING THAT MAYBE WE DON'T WANT TO ALLOW ON A PERMANENT BASIS OR BASICALLY

172
00:47:58.316 --> 00:48:13.400
GIVES A WINDOW FOR SOMEONE TO DO SOMETHING ON AN INTERIM BASIS BEFORE APPLYING FOR A PERMANENT. >> THANK YOU. THAT'S REALLY HELPFUL. AND THEN MY OTHER QUESTION WOULD BE IF YOU COULD FOLLOW UP IS JUST WHAT IS THE NUMBER ROUGHLY OF AFFORDABLE

173
00:48:13.400 --> 00:48:30.783
HOUSING UNITS WE'VE LOST TO SOME OF THESE TRANSITIONING TO THESE FACILITIES IN THE LAST FIVE TO EIGHT YEARS, SOMETHING LIKE THAT. IF THAT IS READILY AVAILABLE. >> CHAIR OSMAN, COUNCIL MEMBER SHAFFER, I DO NOT HAVE THAT INFORMATION AVAILABLE. >> WE'VE GOT A COUPLE OF

174
00:48:30.783 --> 00:48:46.783
COLLEGES RIGHT THERE IN THE AREA. SO IT COMES TO MIND. >> CHAIR OSMAN, COUNCIL MEMBER SHAFFER, I'M THE CPED DIRECTOR. WE'LL HAVE TO LOOK AT THAT. IT WILL BE CHALLENGING FOR US TO GET DATA ON THE TRADE-OFF BETWEEN WHAT WAS THERE BEFORE

175
00:48:46.783 --> 00:49:01.433
AND THESE FACILITIESNOW. I'LL ASK THE HOUSING TEAM IF WE CAN DO SOMETHING. WE'LL GET YOU SOMETHING BACK. BUT I'M NOT CONFIDENT IT WILL BE A SPECIFIC NUMBER OF UNITS. >> OKAY. THANK YOU. APPRECIATE THAT. >> I'LL RECOGNIZE VICE CHAIR CHOWDHURY. >> YES, THANK YOU SO MUCH, CHAIR

176
00:49:01.433 --> 00:49:19.383
OSMAN. MY FIRST QUESTION. THIS MAY BE FOR THE APPLICANT, MIRIAM. WHAT IS YOUR PLAN TO JUST HAVE CONTACT WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD IF THERE ARE ANY

177
00:49:19.383 --> 00:49:35.350
ISSUES. ANYTHING, WHO WILL THEY REACH OUT TO? WHO IS THE CONNECTION POINT? KIND OF THE PUBLIC FACING PERSON. >> AT THE LOBBY, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE HOUSE MANAGEMENT INFORMATION. SO THEY CAN COME TO THE LOBBY. IT'S GOING TO BE

178
00:49:35.350 --> 00:49:52.050
24-HOUR SUPERVISED LIVING. SO THERE'S GOING TO BE HOUSE STAFF WALKING AROUND. BUT THE MANAGER'S INFORMATION WILL BE AT THE LOBBY AND THEY CAN ACTUALLY ASK THE HOUSE STAFF TOO IF THEY WANT INFORMATION, THEY CAN CONTACT THEM AND THEY WILL DIRECT THEM TO THE HOUSE MANAGER. >> GREAT. THAT WAS GOING TO B

179
00:49:52.050 --> 00:50:08.750
MY SECOND QUESTION. YOU'RE ENVISIONING OFFICE SPACE WHEN YOU WALK IN THE DOOR. 24-7. >> YEAH. >> I KNOW THERE CAN BE STAFFING CHALLENGES SOMETIMES IN DIFFERENT STATE CREDENTIALED CARE FACILITIES. HOW DO YOU FORESEE ADDRESSING THAT? WHAT IF

180
00:50:08.750 --> 00:50:26.483
THERE'S A SITUATION IN WHICH THERE MIGHT BE A GAP IN SOMEONE'S STAFFING FOR 24/7? >> SO WHAT WE DO IS WE HIRE CASUAL. WE HAVE OUR MAIN KEY STAFF. AND THEN WE HAVE JUST ANYBODY THAT'S ON CALL. STAFF

181
00:50:26.483 --> 00:50:39.783
THAT'S ON CALL. IF SOMEBODY DOESN'T SHOW UP OR QUITS, WE HAVE OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE ALREADY BEEN TRAINED CAN PICK UP THOSE SHIFTS. >> HOW MANY STATE CREDENTIALED CARE FACILITIES DOES PATHWAY TO RECOVERY HAVE AND OPERATE?

182
00:50:39.783 --> 00:50:59.466
>> WE HAVE THE 245G AND 245F AND GRH. SO THREE DIFFERENT LICENSES. >> ARE THERE ANY OTHER FACILITIES IN THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS? >> NO. JUST THAT ONE FACITY PATHWAY TO RECOVERY. THE GRH

183
00:50:59.466 --> 00:51:16.733
FACILITIES ARE LOCATED IN SOUTH MINNEAPOLIS. >> WOULD YOU BE OPEN JUST TO A CONDITION THAT REQUIRES YOU ALL TO HAVE VISIBLE CONTACT INFORMATION AT THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING SO PEOPLE CAN REACH OUT? >> ABSOLUTELY. >> OKAY. I THINK THAT WOULD BE GOOD. THE BIGGEST THING HERE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, ESPECIALLY

184
00:51:16.733 --> 00:51:32.733
WHEN THEIR CONCERNS AROUND PUBLIC SAFETY IS COMMUNICATION. RIGHT? IN THE 12th WARD THERE'S A STATE CREDENTIALED CARE FACILITY IN A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD. AND EVERY YEAR THAT FACILITY WILL DO KIND OF A VISIBLE AND HAVE A CONNECTION.

185
00:51:32.733 --> 00:51:49.966
ESPECIALLY WITH THE WORK OF THE WALDORF SCHOOL. I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT YOU BOTH FORM A CONNECTION, A TOUCHPOINT. AND I THINK THAT COULD REALLY HELP ADDRE ISSUES AS THEY COME FORWARD. EVEN WHEN IT'S JUST A HOMEOWNER TO HOMEOWNER, YOU NEED TO HAVE CONNECTIONS ON THE BLOCK

186
00:51:49.966 --> 00:52:06.300
TO ADDRESS IT. I THINK GIVEN HOW IMPORTANT IT IS FOR US TO HAVE THIS CONTINUUM OF CARE TO ADDRESS SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER. THIS ISNE OF THE TOOLS THAT WE HAVE. AND IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING

187
00:52:06.300 --> 00:52:23.333
THAT THIS IS PROVIDING PEOPLE HOUSING IN A TIME WHEN THEY REALLY NEED IT. AND IT'S PROVIDING WRAP AROUND SERVICES. HOW DO INDIVIDUALS BECOME ELIGI PROGRAM? AND IS THERE A COST TO IT FOR THEM?

188
00:52:23.333 --> 00:52:39.500
>> WE DO HAVE AN INTAKE PROCESS. THEY HAVE TO BE SUFFERING FROM OPIOID USE DISORDER. FOR THEM TO BE ELIGIBLE IN THE HOUSING, THEY HAVE TO BE HOMELESS. >> IS THERE A COST TO THEM? DO THEY NEE TO HAVE INSURANCE? DO THEY PAY ANYTHING? >> IF THEY DON'T HAVE INSURANCE,

189
00:52:39.500 --> 00:52:56.933
WE HAVE NAVIGATORS SO THEY DO APPLY FOR INSURANCE FOR THEM. >> IS THERE USUALLY OUTF POCKET COSTS THAT THEY'RE EXPERIENCING? >> MOST OF THE PEOPLE THAT WE SERVE DO NOT PAY OUT OF POCKET COSTS. THEY'RE MOSTLY LOW INCOME FAMILIES. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH. THAT'S ALL MY QUESTIONS FOR YOU. AND I'LL

190
00:52:56.933 --> 00:53:13.300
JUST NOTE, THAT'S A TYPE OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING. RIGHT? WE'RE PROVIDING SHELTERS FOR INDIVIDUALS THAT NEED IT, WP AROUND SERVICES. THIS HELPS PEOPLE COME TO STABILITY, AS COUNCIL MEMBER WARREN I THINK REALLY APTLY PUT. THIS IS NECESSARY TOOL THAT WE SEE FOR

191
00:53:13.300 --> 00:53:28.466
FAMILY REUNIFICATION. WE'RE ALSO TALKING ABOUT KIDS HERE. SO I THINK IT'S VALUABLE TO HAVE THESE TYPES OF RESOURCES IN OUR COMMUNITY. AND IF THEY'RE RUN WELL AND IF THERE'S COMMUNICATION BETWEEN NEIGHBORS, WE CAN MITIGATE IT. I THINK I'LL REMIND EVERYONE THAT'S LISTENING

192
00:53:28.466 --> 00:53:44.566
IN THE PUBLIC, IT'S INTERIM USE PERMIT. SO THERE'S OPPORTUNITY FOR CHECK-IN. AND 311 IS YOUR FRIEND. YOUR COUNCIL MEMBER IS YOUR FRIEND. GREAT PERSON FOR YOU TO CHECK IN WITH AND TALK TO IF THERE ARE ISSUES, AND WE CAN RESOLVE THEM. BUT JUST GIVEN ALL

193
00:53:44.566 --> 00:54:01.233
THE FACTS AND THE GOOD DISCUSSION WE'VE HAD HERE TODAY, I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO SUPPORTING THIS. >> COUNCIL MEMBER CHAVEZ. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR OSMAN. I JUST HAVE A QUICK QUESTION FOR STAFF. IS THIS SIMILAR TO THE RECUPERATIVE CARE STUFF?

194
00:54:01.233 --> 00:54:16.300
>> NO, IT'S DIFFERENT. >> CHAIR OSMAN, COUNCIL MEMBER CHAVEZ. THE RECUPERATIVE CARE APPLICATIONS THAT WERE BROUGHT THROUGH LAST YEAR WERE TECHNICALLY EMERGENCY SHELTERS. THE WAY THE ZONING CODE DIVIDES

195
00:54:16.300 --> 00:54:32.333
THOSE IS STAY. STATE CREDENTIALED CARE FACILITY IS SIX OR MORE. AND THAT USE TYPE WAS KIND OF INTERESTING. IT WAS TRYING TO REHABILITATE PEOPLE WHO HAD HAD MEDICAL EVENT, AND THEN TRYING TO CONNECT THEM TO RESOURCES SO THEY WOULDN'T HAVE

196
00:54:32.333 --> 00:54:47.433
TO GO BACK ON THE STREET AFTER THEY WERE RECOVERED. SO IT IS DIFFERENT. BUT OBVIOUSLY, THERE ARE SOME SIMILARITIES. AND THEY'RE BOTH TYPES OF, Y KNOW, SUPPORTIVE RECOVERY-TYPE HOUSING, JUST WITH DIFFERENT

197
00:54:47.433 --> 00:55:04.233
CLIENTELE AND DIFFERENT DURATIONS OF STAY AND MODELS. >> THANK YOU. I REALLY APPRECIATE IT. I'LL BE SUPPORTING THIS ITEM. I'LL READ OFF POINTSHAT THE STAFF TALKED ABOUT. SERVING UP TO 16 PERSONS TO AN INTERIM USE PERMIT. I

198
00:55:04.233 --> 00:55:18.533
THINK THIS NEXT PART IS THE ONE THAT REALLY MATTERS TO ME PARTICULARLY. THAT THE CLIENT POPULATION CONSIST OF PARENTS EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS THAT ARE IN RECOVERY ALONG WITH THEIR MINOR CHILDREN. THIS IS A TOOL

199
00:55:18.533 --> 00:55:36.400
WE HAVE TO ADDRESS UNSHELTERED HOMELESSNESS. -- WE HAVE TO PUSH FOR A COMPREHENSIBLE APPROH FOR ADDRESSING ADDICTION, MENTAL HEALTH, DRUG ABUSE IN OUR CITY. I HOPE MOVING FORWARD, THERE ISN'T PUSHBACK ON THIS WORK THAT

200
00:55:36.400 --> 00:55:53.133
NEEDS TO HAPPEN BECAUSE WE CAN'T BE AGAINST DECRIMINALIZING DRUG PARAPHERNALIA AND THESE SITES. >> I HAVE ONE OTHER QUESTION.

201
00:55:53.133 --> 00:56:10.700
THIS WILL PROBABLY BE FOR STAFF AND FOR MIRIAM ALSO AS WELL. SO THE INTERIM USE PERMIT IS FOR A PERIOD UP TO FIVE YEARS, JUST SHY OF THAT TIME. IF THERE'S ANY CHANGE OR MODEL TO THAT PROGRAM

202
00:56:10.700 --> 00:56:24.900
OR EXTENSIONS, HOW SOON WILL COUNCIL KNOW IF THERE IS LIKE AN EXTENSION OR APPLICATION OF PERMANENCY OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. HOW SOON WILL WE KNOW SOMETHING LIKE THAT?

203
00:56:24.900 --> 00:56:43.033
>> CHAIR OSMAN, COUNCIL MEMBER WARREN, AN INTERIM USE CANNOT BE CONTINUED PAST THE FIVE YEARS. SO THEIR OPTION AT THAT FIVE YEAR MARK WOULD BE A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT. OR IF THERE WERE ANY

204
00:56:43.033 --> 00:57:00.633
OTHER CHANGES LIKE IF THEY WERE HOPING TO FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGE THEIR PROGRAM, THEY WOULD COME INTERIM USE PERMIT. TYPICALLY WHAT HAPPENS IS WHENEVER THAT EXPIRES, IF IT'S CLOSE TO THE FIVE-YEAR MARK, THEN APPLICANTS ARE MAKING PLANS FOR HOW TO MAKE

205
00:57:00.633 --> 00:57:17.483
THAT PERMANENT IN SOME WAY. A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT APPLICATION WILL GO BEFORE THE PLANNING COMMISSION. SO THAT WOULD BE THE STEP IF THEY WERE MOVING IN THAT DIRECTION. IF THE APPLICANT WERE TO PURSUE A REZONING, WHICH WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS EXPRESSED, THAT WOULD OBVIOUSLY COME BEFORE THIS BODY AS A LEGISLATIVE DECISION.

206
00:57:17.483 --> 00:57:34.450
>> AND IF THERE IS A MODICATION NOTICE THAT IS GIVEN, HOW MUCH TIME NEEDS TO BE GIVEN IN MODIFICATION NOTICE? >> COUNCIL MEMBER WARREN, IF THERE WERE CHANGES, LARGE ENOUGH CHANGES TO THE PROPOSAL THAT

207
00:57:34.450 --> 00:57:49.283
WOULD REQUIRE A NEW INTERIMSE PERMIT TO COME BACK BEFORE COUNCIL, THE NOTICE TIMELINE I BELIEVE IS ONLY 10 TO 15 DAYS. 10 DAYS. OKAY. SO IT IS SHORTER THAN THE NOTICE PERIOD FOR OUR

208
00:57:49.283 --> 00:58:06.283
OTHER ND USE APPLICATIONS. ONE OF T USES OF A TOOL LIKE AN INTERIM USE PERMIT IS KIND OF GETTING BEFORE COUNCIL ON A MORE ACCELERATED SCHEDULE. >> OKAY. THAT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE. IF PARTWAY THROUGH THE PROGRAM, THEY'RE SAYING, YOU

209
00:58:06.283 --> 00:58:23.450
KNOW WHAT? WE SET THIS SITUATION UP BECAUSE WE WANTED TO REALLY PROVIDE THIS VERY INTENTIONAL AND DELIBERATE SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY. RIGHT. BUT WE'RE NOT GETTING THE BEDS FILLED BECAUSE IT'S NOT ENOUGH OF THOSE INDIVIDUALS WHO QUALIFY FOR THE SERVICE. WHICH I DON'T THINK --

210
00:58:23.450 --> 00:58:39.350
I TNK WE NEED MORE SERVICES LIKE THIS. I DON'T THINK THAT'S GOING TO BE AN ISSUE. BUT IF, WE JUST GOTTA SAY IF, RIGHT? IF THEY DIDN'T, THEN THEY WOULD HAVE 10 DAYS TO NOTIFY YOU ALL, AND THEN GET ON THE CALENDAR TO

211
00:58:39.350 --> 00:58:55.750
COME BEFORE COUNCIL IN ORDER TO CHANGE THAT INTERIM PERMITTED USE, RIGHT? AND THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO OPERATE UNTIL THE USE PERMIT WAS CHANGED OR APPROVED OR VERIFIED OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. >> CHAIR OSMAN, COUNCIL MEMBER

212
00:58:55.750 --> 00:59:12.050
WARREN, THE INTERIM USE PERMIT FOR YOU IS FOR A STATE CREDENTIALED CARE FACILITY SERVING UP TO 16 PERSONS. IF THEY WEREN'T SERVING THE FULL NUMBER, THEY WOULD NOT NEED ANY MODIFICATIONS FOR THE INTERIM USE PERMIT. THINGS NEEDING AN

213
00:59:12.050 --> 00:59:27.616
UPDATE WOULD BE IF THE PROVIDER CHANGED AND IT WAS A WHOLE NEW PROVIDER OR THE MODEL COMPLETELY CHANGED OR IF INSTEAD OF STATE CREDENTIALED CARE FACILITY, THEY WANTED IT TO BECOME AN EMERGENCY SHELTER. KIND OF LARGER STRUCTURAL CHANGES WLD COME BACK TO THIS COMMITTEE.

214
00:59:27.616 --> 00:59:47.333
>> YEAH. BUT THE NATURE OF IS BEING OFFERED ON THE FOREFRONT HERE, EVEN THOUGH YOU SAY 16% FOR CHANGES, IS THAT ACCURATE? >> UP TO 16 PEOPLE. >> UP TO 16 PEOPLE. SO EVEN

215
00:59:47.333 --> 01:00:03.900
THOUGH, YOU KNOW, THAT IS A VERY SMALL NUMBER. BECAUSE OF THE NATURE FOUNDATIONALLY OF THE SERVICES THAT THEY'RE PROVIDING, THEY HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL ABOUT WHOLL ELSE IS IN THAT ENVIRONMENT AS IT STANDS BECAUSE THERE ARE CHILDREN INVOLVED,

216
01:00:03.900 --> 01:00:20.233
RIGHT? SO FAMILIAL STATUS MAKES IT THE MODEL HAVE TO PRETTY MUCH STAY PRETTY STATIONARY AS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT REUNIFICATION, SAFETY PLANS, AND WHATEVER ELSE THE CASE IS. SO WE WOULDN'T SEE ANY LIKE HUGE, YOU KNOW, SOME

217
01:00:20.233 --> 01:00:36.733
BIG MAGNIFIED CHANGE WHERE ALL OF A SUDDEN THEY'RE HOUSING FAMILIES AND REGISTERED SEX OFFENDERS AT THE SAME TIME OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. I KNOW THAT WAS A CONCERN OF SOME PEOPLE WHO WERE HERE IN THE AUDIENCE. I'M JUST TRYING TO HELP BUILD THAT PICTURE THAT IT IS WHAT IT IS.

218
01:00:36.733 --> 01:00:53.966
AND IT'S A LOT MORE PROTECTED IN NORMALIZING WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN FOR THE SAKE OF THE CHILDREN BEING INVOLVED IN THIS. >> CHAIR OSMAN, COUNCIL MEMBER WARREN, I THINK, YOU KNOW, SOME MINOR CHANGES TO CLIENTELE COULD POTENTIALLY EXIST UNDER THE

219
01:00:53.966 --> 01:01:09.266
APPROVAL FOR THE INTERIM USE PERMIT. IF THERE WERE SPECIFIC ITEMS THAT THE COUNCIL WANTED TO SEE, LIKE THIS ONLY CONTINUES TO SERVE PARENTS, THAT COULD POTENTIALLY BE ADDED AS A CONDITION OF APPROVAL. >> OKAY. OKAY. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU.

220
01:01:09.266 --> 01:01:26.333
>> MIRIAM, SHE KIND OF COOKED. I DON'T REALLY GOT -- NOW, I DON'T -- WE KIND OF RESOLVED WHAT I WANTED TO GET OUT THERE WITH RESPECT TO MAKING SURE THAT THE FAMILIES AND THE STABILITY, LIKE, THERE'S CERTAIN

221
01:01:26.333 --> 01:01:42.600
RAMIFICATIONS THAT HAVE TO BE IN PLACE BECAUSE THE CHILDREN ARE INVOLVED IN THAT. THAT WON'T ALLOW FOR LIKE SO MUCH SWITCH UP. YEAH. THAT'S IT. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH. SEEING NO ONE ELSE ON THAT MOTION TO APPROVE THIS ITEM, ALL THOSE IN

222
01:01:42.600 --> 01:01:58.566
FAVOR SAY AYE. >> AYE. >> AND THOSE OPPOSED SAY NAY. THE AYES HAVE IT AND THE MOTION CARRIES. NEXT PUBLIC HEARING IS FOR 2026 HOUSING HUD ACTION PLAN. I WILL HAVE MATT BOWER FROM CPED FOR BRIEF

223
01:01:58.566 --> 01:02:23.450
PRESENTATION. WELCOME, SIR. >> GOOD AFTERNOON, CHAIR OSMAN, COMMITTEE MEMBERS, MY NAME IS MATT BOWER. I'M MANAGER OF

224
01:02:23.450 --> 01:02:41.350
RESOURCE COORDINATION WITH THE FINANCE AND PROPERTY SERVICES DEPARTMENT. AND I AM HERE TODAY TO INTRODUCE THE SUBJECT MATTER OF 2026 HUD CONSOLIDATED ACTION PLAN. IT'S REQUIRED PUBLIC HEARING AND REQUEST A SET OF APPROVALS FOR SUBMITTING THE PLAN TO THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF

225
01:02:41.350 --> 01:02:56.716
HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT LATER THIS MONTH. THE RCA BEFORE THE COMMITTEE REQUESTS THAT COMMENTS BE RECEIVED ON THE ACTION PLAN. AUTHORIZING THE ACTION PLAN SUBMITTAL TO HUD.

226
01:02:56.716 --> 01:03:11.550
HUD REQUIRES A KIND OF LEGISLATIVE DELEGATION OR AUTHORITY FOR THE MAYOR OR THEIR DESIGNEE TO MAKE THE APPLICATION, DO THE CERTIFICATIO, AND EXECUTE AND CARRY OUT THE PROGRAMMING OF THE

227
01:03:11.550 --> 01:03:28.750
ACTION PLAN. AND A WELL AS WE'LL BE ASKING FOR THE AUTHORITY TO ENTER INTO THE NECESSARY GRANT AGREEMENTS. SO WHAT IS A 2026 ACTION PLAN? IT IS THE CITY'S FEDERAL

228
01:03:28.750 --> 01:03:44.583
APPLICATION TO THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT FOR ITS ENTITLEMENT GRANT AWARDS FOR 2026. IT UPDATES AND RESTATES THE GOALS AND PRIORITIES THAT WERE SET IN THE FIVE-YEAR HUD CONSOLIDATE

229
01:03:44.583 --> 01:04:02.000
PLAN STRATEGY. IT SHOWS BUDGET ENTITLEMENT FUNDS FOR 2026 WILL SUPPORT THOSE GOALS AND STRATEGIES. IT ALSO CONTAINS A SET OF CERTIFICATIONS, REPRESENTATIONS FOR ACCESSING THE FUNDS. AND FINALLY, IT INCLUDES A PUBLIC INPUT SUMMARY.

230
01:04:02.000 --> 01:04:18.733
THE PUBLIC HEARINGS THAT THE CITY COUNCIL HELD ON THE 2026 BUDGET IN THE FALL, AND TODAY'S HEARING, WILL ALL BE INCLUDED IN THE ACTION PLAN TO GO TO HUD.

231
01:04:18.733 --> 01:04:35.800
FOR THESE FUNDS, HUD OUTLINES A SET OF OBJECTIVES AND OUTCOMES. THOSE ARE LIVING ENVIRONMENTS, HOUSING, AND ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES. WHETHER THEY'RE AVAILABLE IN THE COMMUNITY, ACCESSIBLE, THE AFFORDABILITY OF

232
01:04:35.800 --> 01:04:51.666
PROGRAMINGS. AND THEN THE SUSTAINABILITY. THAT SUSTAINABILITY IN TERMS OF LONG-TERM, LONGEVITY OF THESE PROGRAMS, THESE SERVICES BEING .

233
01:04:51.666 --> 01:05:09.300
TO SUPPORT THOSE OUTCOMES AND OBJECTIVES, THE CITY HAS SET IN THE CONSOLIDATED PLAN FIVE GOALS. WE SEE WITH THESE FUNDS TO PROVIDE AFFORDABLE HOUSING. DEVELOP HOUSING AND SERVICES FOR THE HOMELESSNESS POPULATIONS.

234
01:05:09.300 --> 01:05:26.100
PROVIDE SPECIAL NEEDS HOUSING. EXPAND ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES IN IMPROVED NEIGHBORHOOD CONDITIONS. THE ACTION PLAN

235
01:05:26.100 --> 01:05:42.833
DETAILS A BUDGETS PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS THAT SUPPORT THESE GOALS. BASED ON THE AWARD AMOUNTS THAT WERE RECENTLY PROVIDED BY HUD. WE WENT THROUGH COUNCIL LAST CYCLE TO FORMALIZE THESE FINAL AWARD NUMBERS.

236
01:05:42.833 --> 01:05:59.733
YOU'LL SEE THEM THERE FOR EACH OF THE FOUR ENTITLEMENT GRANTS. AGAIN, YOU CONSIDER THE BUDGET WITH AN ESTIMATED AWARD AMOUNT IN DECEMBER WITH THE CITY BUDGET. ONCE WE GET THE ACTUAL

237
01:05:59.733 --> 01:06:16.266
NUMBERS FROM HUD, WE REVISIT THOSE NUMBERS. O BUDGET YEAR FOR THE HUD PROGRAM FUNDS RUNS JUNE THROUGH MAY. SO ON THESE NEXT TWO SLIDES, THE ACTION PLAN

238
01:06:16.266 --> 01:06:32.200
BUDGETS FOR THE PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS NEED TO FIT WITHIN A SET OF RULES AND AUTHORITIES SET BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SPECIFIC TO EACH OF THESE GRANTS. AND THESE SLIDES KIND OF

239
01:06:32.200 --> 01:06:49.666
ARE A VERY HIGH LEVEL SUMMARY OF HOW THEY'RE USED, SOME OF THE CONSTRAINTS OR OPPORTUNITIES WITH THE FUNDS. CDBG IS PRIMARILY HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT. MOST OF THE BUDGET 50-60% OF OUR CDBG BUDGET IS

240
01:06:49.666 --> 01:07:06.266
DEVOTED TO HOUSING PROGRAMS. WE HAVE AN AMOUNT SET ASIDE FOR ADMINISTRATION OF THESE PROGRAMS. DOING ALL THE COMPANCE WORK. THE FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING FOR THESE FUNDS. AND THEN WE SET ASIDE UP TO 15% OF THE BUDGET FOR PUBLIC SERVICES. THOSE ARE COMMUNITY-BASED

241
01:07:06.266 --> 01:07:20.333
PROGRAMS, JOB TRAINING YOUTH DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMMING. AND SUCH. HOMEE USE FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION OR REHABILITATION OF LOW-INCOME RENTAL AND

242
01:07:20.333 --> 01:07:39.333
OWNERSHIP HOUSING. WITH OUR EMERGENCY SOLUTIONS GRANT, ESG, WE USE FOR EMERGENCY SHELTER REHABS, PROVISION OF ESSENTIAL SERVICES TO THOSE SUFFERING FROM HOMELESSNESS. WE ALSO PROVIDE TO

243
01:07:39.333 --> 01:07:56.483
THE COUNTY HOMELESSNESS PREVENTION AND RAPID REHOUSING FUNDS. THOSE ARE DELIVERED PRIMARILY FOR RAPID REHOUSING PROGRAMMING. WE SET ASIDE A SMALL PORTION OF THE BUDGET FOR HMIS SERVICES FROM A STATE

244
01:07:56.483 --> 01:08:11.333
PROVIDER FOR REPORTING ON OUTCOMES TO HUD. ON THESE FUNDS. WE ALSO WORK WITH THE LOCAL CONTINUUM OF CARE TO SET HOW WE USE THESE FUNDS. WE WORK WITH

245
01:08:11.333 --> 01:08:29.050
THE HENNEPIN COUNTY. CPED STAFF WORK WITH HENNEPIN COUNTY STAFF TO BEST DEPLOY THESE FUNDS WITH THE COMMUNITY. AND FINALLY, WE HAVE THE HOPWA PLAN. METROPOLITAN AREA. IT'S FOR THE

246
01:08:29.050 --> 01:08:45.000
BENEFIT OF HIV-IMPACTED HOUSEHOLDS. FUNDING PRIORITIES UNDER THE GRANT ARE MADE IN CONSULTATION WITH THE MINNESOTA HIV HOUSING COALITION. AND CURRENTLY, THE WORK WE SUPPORT

247
01:08:45.000 --> 01:09:01.050
IS FOR RENTAL ASSISTANCE, SITE BASED OPERATING COSTS AND SUPPORTIVE SERVICES FOR THESE POPULATIONS. WE'LL BE BACK -- OR I WILL BE BACK BEFORE THIS COMMITTEE IN AUGUST TO PRESENT A PUBLIC REPORT ON HOW THESE FUNDS

248
01:09:01.050 --> 01:09:20.433
ARE USING. USED. THIS IS A CONSOLIDATED REPORT. IT WILL OUTLINE HOW WE SPEND THE FUNDS THROUGH THE 2025 GRANT YEAR WHICH ENDS ON THE END OF THIS MONTH. WE ALSO HAVE A COMMENT

249
01:09:20.433 --> 01:09:36.583
HEARING FOR THAT AND A PUBLIC HEARING FOR THAT BEFORE WE SUBMIT THAT REPORT TO HUD. AND SO THE PUBLIC HEARING TODAY ON THE 2026 ACTION PLAN IS A HUD REQUIREMENT PRIOR TO SUBMITTING OUR PLAN TO HUD FOR THEIR APPROVAL. WE MADE THE DRAFTED

250
01:09:36.583 --> 01:09:53.416
PLAN AVAILABLE FOR 30-DAY PUBLIC COMMENT. THAT RUNS THROUGH MAY 26TH. THE PLAN WAS MADE AVAILABLE AT THE CITY'S WEBSITE, ALL MINNEAPOLIS PUBLIC LIBRARIES, AND OFFICES OF MID-MINNESOTA LEGAL AID. ALL COMMENTS RECEIVED DURING THE

251
01:09:53.416 --> 01:10:08.650
COMMENT HEARING AND PUBLIC HEARINGS WILL BE SUMMARIZED AND PRESENTED TO HUD IN A SUBMITTED PLAN. THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION. I CAN STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS PRIOR TO THE OPENING OF THE HEARING. AND I THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT PRESENTATION. I WILL OPEN THE

252
01:10:08.650 --> 01:10:25.583
PUBLIC HEARING. AND I HAVE PHOEBE HERE TO SPEAK. PLEASE COME, STATE YOUR NAME. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH. AND HELLO HONORABLE CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS. MY NAME IS PHOEBE TRAPPE AND I'M HERE AS THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

253
01:10:25.583 --> 01:10:43.500
OF CLAIRE HOUSING. CLAIRE HOUSING HAS PROVIDEDERVICES TO PEOPLE LEAVING HOMELESSNESS WHO ARE LIVING WITH HIV FOR NEARLY 40 YEARS. ONE OF THE SOURCES OF FUNDING TO PAY FOR THIS HOUNDING SERVICES IS HOPWA, HOUSING

254
01:10:43.500 --> 01:11:01.350
OPPORTUNITY FOR PEOPLE WITH HIV OR AIDS. IT HAS HAD BIPARTISAN SUPPORT SINCE ITS INCEPTION. HOPWA IS BASED ON THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE LIVING WITH HIV. AS YOU JUST HEARD, THEY COME THROUGH THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS FOR THI METRO AREA. I'M HERE TO SHARE

255
01:11:01.350 --> 01:11:17.250
HOW HOPWA IMPACTS PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY, AND ESPECIALLY THOSE WITHOUT HOUSING AND ARE EXPERIE DISABILITIES. AND CURRENT THREATS TO HOPWA. ONE OF THE PEOPLE WE SERVED IN 2025 IS JOE.

256
01:11:17.250 --> 01:11:33.133
HE CAME TO US IN AUGUST OF LAST YE WITH A HISTORY OF HOMELESSNESS. HE WAS USING METH. HE HAD COGNITIVE DELAYS AND NOT TAKING ANY MEDICATIONS. BY DECEMBER, STABLE AFFORDABLE HOUSING, AND DAILY MEDS, JOE HAD

257
01:11:33.133 --> 01:11:47.433
STABILIZED, STOPPED USING METH, BEGAN SEEING A THERAPIST, AND REACHED AN UNDETECTABLE VIRAL LOAD. WHICH MEANSIV IS NOW SO LOW IN HIS BODY, IT CAN'T BE

258
01:11:47.433 --> 01:12:08.266
TRANSMITTED TO OTHERS. -- PREVENTS NEW CASES. AT CLAIRE, WE ROUTINELY REACH 90%. IN TERMS OF THREATS, THE CURRENT PRESIDENTIAL ADMINISTRATION ZEROES OUT THE HOPWA PROGRAM. UP

259
01:12:08.266 --> 01:12:23.866
TO THIS POINT, CONGRESS HAS CONTINUED TO FUND HOPWA. WE ARE INCREASING ADVOCACY TO CONTINUE TO FOCUS ON THAT. IN MINNESOTA, WE'RE EXPERIENCING THE LOSS OF MEDICAID SERVICES THAT HAVE SUPPORTED THESE CLIENTS. WHICH

260
01:12:23.866 --> 01:12:38.966
MAKES HOPWA EVEN MORE CRUCIAL. WE'RE IN SUPPORT AND WANTED TO LL YOU MORE HOW HOPWA IMPACTS YOU ALL AND ALL OF US. THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH. ARE THERE ANYONE ELSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK? SEEING NONE, I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. I SEE A FEW

261
01:12:38.966 --> 01:12:55.300
MEMBERS HERE THAT MIGHT HAVE A QUESTION. THIS IS REALLY GREAT. THANK YOU STAFF FOR PTING THIS TOGETHER. SOME OF THESE PROGRAMS WE'RE APPLYING AS WE HAVE NEW ADMINISTRATION, ARE THEY REQUIRING PARTICIPANTS OR

262
01:12:55.300 --> 01:13:12.066
RECIPIENTS, PEOPLE THAT ARE RECEIVING THE SERVICES, FOR IMMIGRATION STATUS? ARE YOU AWARE OF THAT? >> CHAIR OSMAN, THERE ARE SOME NOTICES GOING OUT. THERE HAS

263
01:13:12.066 --> 01:13:26.833
BEEN SOME EFFORTS. DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHERE IT IS IN LITIGATION AND SUC THERE HAVE BEEN -- WE ADDED CONDITIONS TO THE GRANT AGREEMENTS WE SIGNED

264
01:13:26.833 --> 01:13:46.400
LAST YEAR IN TERMS OF SOME OF THE ISSUES THAT WE HAD A DISAGREEMENT WITH THE ADMINISTRATION ON. THOSE ARE TIED UP IN LITIGATION SO FAR. >> OKAY. >> WE HAVE NOT BEEN ASKED TO ACT

265
01:13:46.400 --> 01:14:04.016
IN CONTRARY TO OUR BELIEFS AND OUR STANCE. >> I UNDERSTAND. JUST DURING THE, YOU KNOW, ICE BEING HERE, THAT'S ONE OF MY RESIDENTS CAME TO ME WITH A LETTER. SHE LIVES

266
01:14:04.016 --> 01:14:19.516
IN MPH BUILDING. THEY'RE LIKE COME TO THE OFFICE TO UPDATE YOUR IMMIGRATION STATUS. AND THAT WAS SOMETHING MPH IS REQUIRES. SO JUST WANTED TO GET A LITTLE BIT MORE INFOATION.

267
01:14:19.516 --> 01:14:36.450
WHAT IS THE PROTOCOL? FOR YOU TO QUALIFY THIS, WE NEED TO KNOW YOUR PARTICIPANT OR RECIPIENT, THEIR IMMIGRATION STATUS. THAT'S ONE OF THE HOUSING AGENCIES

268
01:14:36.450 --> 01:14:51.283
COLLECTING THAT INFORMATION. IT WAS KIND OF SOMETHING NEW TO ME. >> I WILL NOT SPEAK FOR THE PUBLIC HOUSING AUTHORITY. >> OKAY. >> HOWEVER, THERE IS A

269
01:14:51.283 --> 01:15:06.983
REQUIREMENT THAT BENEFITS GO TO RESIDENTS, LEGAL RESIDENTS OF THE COUNTRY. AND THAT CAN BE DONE ON A PRO RATED BASIS. SO IF YOU'VE GOT A HOUSEHOLD MEMBER

270
01:15:06.983 --> 01:15:24.316
THAT IS HERE LEGALLY, THE RENT FOR THAT UNIT IS PRO RATED. THE ASSISTANCE IS PRO RATED TO ACCOUNT FOR THAT. SO THAT MAY BE SOME OF THE BACKGROUND IN TT QUESTION.

271
01:15:24.316 --> 01:15:41.350
>> I GOT IT. THANK YOU, SIR. I'LL RECOGNIZEICE CHAIR CHOWDHURY. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH, CHAIR OSMAN. MAYBE THIS PERHAPS MIGHT BE A QUESTION FOR YOU, PERHAPS FOR THE CITY ATTORNEY AS WELL. I'M WONDERING, DO WE HAVE ANY

272
01:15:41.350 --> 01:15:58.283
GRANT AGREEMENTS BEFORE US THAT WE ARE PENDING THIS ACTION BEFORE WE ENTER INTO RIGHT NOW? >> MADAM -- MR. CHAIR AND COMMITTEE MEMBERS, I'M NOT AWARE OF ANY. I DON'T HAVE THE

273
01:15:58.283 --> 01:16:14.216
BACKGROUND ON THAT INFORMATION. BUT I CAN CERTAINLY LOOK INTO IT. >> YEAH. I WOULD LOVE A FOLLOW UP ON THAT OF WHAT GRANT AGREEMENTS ARE PENDING. >> I CAN ANSWER THAT TO A CERTAIN EXTENT. YES, WE WILL BE PROVIDING THE APPLICATION TO HUD

274
01:16:14.216 --> 01:16:32.016
IN A MONTH. THEY'LL REVIEW IT. AND THEY'LL APPROVE IT. AFTER THAT POINT, WE'LL RECEIVE THE GRANT AGREEMENTS. AND THEN AT THAT POINT, WE'LL EXAMINE THE GRANT AGREEMENTS FOR LANGUAGE WE MAY OR MAY NOT. >> WE DO THIS -- IS THIAN

275
01:16:32.016 --> 01:16:50.600
ANNUAL -- IS THIS SOMETHING WE HAVE TO DO ANNUALLY? >> CORRECT. >> OKAY. GREAT. SO THIS CAN BE AN ADMINISTRATIVE FOLLOW UP AS WELL. I WOULD LOVE TO GET THE GRANT AGREEMENTS THAT WE ENTERED INTO IN 2025 AND JUST BE ABLE TO

276
01:16:50.600 --> 01:17:07.300
TAKE SOME TIME TO READ THROUGH THEM BEFORE OUR VOTE THIS THURSDAY TO BETTER GROUND US IN THE CONVERSATION THAT WE'RE HAVING WITH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT RIGHT NOW. GREAT. I'M

277
01:17:07.300 --> 01:17:23.133
GETTING SOME HEAD NODS. YEAH. THOSE ARE ALL OF THE QUESTIONS THAT I HAVE. THANK YOU. >> ALL RIGHT. I'LL RECOGNIZE COUNCIL MEMBER WARREN. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR. AND VICE CHAIR CHOWDHURY, YOU ALL UP IN MY BRAIN TODAY BECAUSE THAT WAS

278
01:17:23.133 --> 01:17:40.483
MY QUESTION. I WANTED TO KNOW WHAT PREVIOUS YEAR GRANTS LOOKED LIKE. WHAT THEY WERE ADMINISTERED FOR. AND HOW THOSE FUNDS HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY INTENTIONALLY USED ON WHAT PROJECTS AND DIRECTIONS. AND IF

279
01:17:40.483 --> 01:17:57.716
THERE WERE ANY SPECIFICS OR IF THERE WERE ANY ALTERATIONS THAT WE WANTED TO MAKE AND AMEND THE APPLICATION THAT IS GOING BEFORE HUD FOR THE 2026 CONSOLIDATION PLAN. WHEN WOULD THOSE THINGS NEED TO BE SUBMITTED?

280
01:17:57.716 --> 01:18:17.250
>> CHAIR OSMAN AND COUNCIL MEMBER WARREN, SO THE PLAN THAT'S DRAFTED RIGHT NOW IS BASED ON THE CITY COUNCIL'S BUDGET THAT WAS APPROVED FOR THESE FUNDS. >> MM-HMM. >> THE PLAN IS UPDATED ANNUALLY.

281
01:18:17.250 --> 01:18:34.083
RIGHT NOW CURRENTLY, DEPARTMENTS ARE THINKING ABOUT 2027, IN PREPARATION FOR THE '27 BUDGET AND HOW THESE FUNDS COULD BE DEPLOYED AND USED. THAT WILL COME UP IN THE RECOMMENDED BUDGET BEFORE THE COUNCIL THAT'S PRESENTED LATER THIS YEAR. AND

282
01:18:34.083 --> 01:18:51.700
THAT WOULD BE AN OPPORTUNITY TO VISIT THAT. IN TERMS OF HOW THE FUNDS HAVE BEEN USED, WE COULD GET YOU PAST GRANT AGREEMENTS. BUT IN TERMS OF HOW THE FUNDS ARE USED, I WOULD POINT YOU TO

283
01:18:51.700 --> 01:19:09.500
OUR WEBSITE. WE HAVE THE MOST RECENT PERFORMANCE REPORT LAST YEAR. WE'LL BE COMING BEFORE YOU LATER THIS SUMMER WITH A REPORT ON THE MOST RECENT USE. WE OUTLINE EXACTLY HOW THOSE DOLLARS ARE USED IN THE COMMUNITY AND DEPLOYED AND WHAT

284
01:19:09.500 --> 01:19:29.183
THE OUTCOMES AND BENEFITS OF THOSE FUNDS HAVE BEEN. >> OKAY. YUP. THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO KNOW. AND YOU SAID THIS INFORMATION IS ON THE ACTUAL SITE? >> YES. WHAT'S THE ADDRESS? I

285
01:19:29.183 --> 01:19:46.150
MEAN, UNDER THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT, CONTROLLER'S DIVISION, CONTROLLER'S GROUP, YOU'LL SEE GRANTS AND SPECIAL PROJECTS. AND THERE WILL BE A CONSOLIDATED PLAN. >> AND THEN HOW DO INDIVIDUALS SUBMIT FOR SPECIAL PROJECT

286
01:19:46.150 --> 01:20:04.050
FUNDING THROUGH THIS HUD CONSOLIDATED PLAN? >> CHAIR OSMAN, COUNCIL MEMBER WARREN, AND COMMITTEE MEMBERS, A LOT OF THESEUNDS ARE RUN THROUGH OTHER CITY APPLICATION PROCESSES AND SUCH. ERIC, CPED

287
01:20:04.050 --> 01:20:20.350
RUNS THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING TRANSFUND. THAT IS A BIG PIECE. YOU'LL SEE THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS BEFORE YOU LATER ON. THERE'S OTHER OPEN SOLICITATION PROCESSES THAT ARE RUN BY DEPARTMENTS THAT ARE

288
01:20:20.350 --> 01:20:35.683
ADMINISTERING THESE FUNDS. WE DON'T HAVE A GENERAL LIKE SPECIFIC CDBG OR SPECIFIC GRANTS APPLICATION FOR THEM OUTSIDE OF THE KIND OF INDIVIDUAL PROGRAMS

289
01:20:35.683 --> 01:20:53.450
THAT ARE BEING FUNDED WITH THESE OPPORTUNITIES HAVING THEIR OWN AND SUCH. >> SO IS THERE SOME FORM OF A CHECKLIST THAT SAYS THESE PROJECTS HAVE TO MEET THESE TYPE

290
01:20:53.450 --> 01:21:12.216
OF REQUIREMENTS IN ORDER TO BE CONSIDERED FOR THIS TYPE OF FUNDING OR WHATEVER THE CASE IS? THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING T ASK. IS THERE SOMETHING? >> YES, CORRECT. I MEAN,

291
01:21:12.216 --> 01:21:28.850
THERE'S -- IT'S SPECIFIC TO EACH ONE. EACH SOLICITATION, IN THE CASE OF THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING TRUSTFUND, THESE FUNDS HAVE TO SERVE HOUSEHOLDS BELOW 50% MEDIAN INCOME. SO PROJECTS THAT

292
01:21:28.850 --> 01:21:43.850
ARE AWARDED POINTS FOR HOW MANY UNITS THEY ARE PROPOSING MAY MEET THAT REQUIREMENT. AND IT'S EVALUATED AMG OTHER CRITERIA. BUT THAT'S ONE OF THEM. FOR THE HOPWA PROGRAM, THERE'S A LIST OF

293
01:21:43.850 --> 01:22:00.683
ELIGIBLE USES FOR THESE FUNDS. WHEN WE DO SOLICITATIONS FOR THESE FUNDS, WE CHECK DO THEY ADDRESS THESE ELIGIBLE USES, AND ARE THEY PROPOSING PROJECTS THAT ARE CONSISTENT WITH THOSE USES?

294
01:22:00.683 --> 01:22:17.850
AND THEN ALSO ACHIEVE ADDRESSING SOME OF THE NEEDS THAT ARE EXPRSED THROUGH THE PLAN IN TERMS OF A SPECIFIC POPULATION OR SUB-POPULATION. >> WONDERFUL. THANK YOU. >> ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR ANSWERS AND PRESENTATION. I SEE NO FURTHER

295
01:22:17.850 --> 01:22:35.966
ACTION. AND I WILL MOVE THIS ITEM FOR APPROVAL. ALL THO IN FAVOR SAY AYE. >> AYE. >> THOSE OPPOSED SAY NAY. THE AYES HAVE IT AND THE MOTION CARRIES. ALL RIGHT. THAT'S IT. SEEING NO FURTHER BUSINESS BEFORE US, WITH NO OBJECTION, I'LL DECLARE THIS MEETING

296
01:22:35.966 --> 01:22:54.033
ADJOURNED. THANK YOU. [ GAVEL ]
