01:50ADDITIONAL ITEM TO ADD TO THE

01:53AGDA WITHOUT OBJECTION. YOU

01:53HAVE THE REQUEST FOR COMMITTEE

01:56ACTION BY VICE CHAIR SHAFFER IN

01:58FRONT OF YOU. THIS ITEM IS FROM

02:00COUNCIL MEMBER SHAFFER FOR A

02:02RESOLUTION REGARDING THE CITY

02:03COUNCIL'S INTENT TO APPLY

02:05GOVERNNT RESTRUCTURING SAVINGS

02:08TOWARDS PROPERTY TAX RELIEF IN

02:102027. WITHOUT OBJECTION, WE'LL

02:14OUR AGENDA AND TAKE IT UP WITH,

02:17UMM, AND TAKE IT UP AT T THE

02:23THE FIRST ITEM ON OUR AGENDA IS,

02:31AH,S A CONSENT ITEM TO RECEIVE

02:33A RESPONSE TO THE CIT CONTRACT

02:36DATA LEGISLATIVE DIRECTIVE. ANY

02:38QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSION FROM

02:40COMMITTEE MEMBERS ON THIS ONE

02:43CONSENT ITEM? I'M NOT SEEING

02:46ANY. SO I'LL ASK THE CLERK TO

02:49FILE THE RESPONSE. NEXT, WE

02:52HAVE THREE ITEMS ON DISCUSSION

02:55AGENDA TODAY. THE FIRST IS A

02:57SOLUTION RELATED TO SPENDING

02:58TRANSPARENCY AND OVERSPENT

03:00PROTECTION. I'LL INVITE COUNCIL

03:04MEMBER WHITI TO INTRODUCE AND

03:10MAKE A MOTION FOR THE APPROVAL.

03:11>> THANK YOU, CHAIR CHUGHTAI.

03:12THANK YOU, COLLEAGUES. A BRIEF

03:15DESCRIPTION OF THE ITEM IN FRONT

03:16OF US TODAY. LIKE MANY OF YOU,

03:18THE FIRST FINANCIAL ADVICE PIECE

03:21OF FINANCIAL FISCAL

03:22RESPONSILITY THAT I LEARNED

03:24FROM MY FAMILY WAS IF YOU AIN'T

03:26GOT IT, DON'T SPEND IT. SO

03:28BUILT IN HERE IS A RESOLUTION

03:31AT INCREASES FINANCIAL

03:33TRANSPARENCY OVERSIGHT AND

03:34COMPLIANCE BY RESCINDING THE

03:36CONTRACTING AUTHORITY THAT THIS

03:38COUNCIL MADE BACK IN 2022 F

03:41DEPARTMENTS TO ENTER INTO

03:42PROCUREMENT CONTRACTS NO GREATER

03:44THAN $5,000. AND LESS THAN OR

03:47EQUAL TO $175,000. WHEN A

03:49DEPARTMENT HAS EXCEEDED ITS

03:51ANNUAL BUDGET APPROPRIATIONS.

03:53IN OTHER WORDS, THIS RESOLUTION

03:55REQUIRES ANY CITYEPARTMENT WHO

03:57IS OVERSPENT THEIR ANNUAL BUDGET

03:59IN THE CURRENT OR PREVIOUS YEAR

04:01TO GET THE CITY COUNCIL'S

04:02APPROVAL FOR PROCUREMENT

04:04CONTRACTS GREATER THAN $5,000,

04:06AND LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO

04:08$175,000. SO, IF WE THINK OF IT

04:10LIKE A BANK ACCOUNT, WITH AN

04:13OVERDRAFT FEE. EXCEPT THE FEE

04:14IS NOT T DOLLARS. IT'S MORE

04:17CHECK UPS TO CNCIL. AND SO

04:19HOW DO WE GET TO THIS POINT

04:21TODAY? FOR THOSE THAT HAVE KIND

04:23OF BEEN ATTACHED TO THE PROJECT,

04:27IT'S BEEN IN THE NEWS, AS OF

04:28LATE. THE MAYOR HAS LEGAL

04:30AUTHORITY TO PROPOSE A BUDGET

04:31AND THE CITY COUNCIL HAS THE

04:32AUTHORITY TO AMEND, ADOPT, AND

04:34AUTHORIZE THE CITY SPENDING.

04:36THE CITY COUNCIL HAS DELEGATED

04:37TO CITY DEPARTMENTS THE

04:40AUTHORITY TO ENTER INTO

04:42PROCUREMENT CONTRACTS LESS THAN

04:43THE $175,000 AMOUNT WITHOUT THE

04:48COUNCIL APPROVAL. THIS

04:49TRADITIONALLY ALLOWS FOR EASIER

04:52DEVERY AND DEPARTMENT

04:53EFFICIENCY. IN RECENT YEARS,

04:54THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS HAS SEEN

04:57REOCCURRING BUDGET OVERRUNS BY

04:59SEVERAL DEPARTMENTS. THE CITY

05:00OF MINNEAPOLIS I FACING A $60

05:03MILLION ESTIMATED BUDGET GAP

05:05HEADING INTO 2027. RESIDENTS

05:07ARE FACING A POTENTIAL 11.5%

05:11LEVY INCREASE AS A RESULT.

05:12MINNEAPOLIS TAXPAYERS NEED TO

05:14KNOW THEIR DOLLARS ARE BEING

05:16SPENT WISELY, EFFECTIVELY, AND

05:18JUDICIAL LY. AND OVERSPENDING

05:21IS NOTE TOLERATED BY U OR ANY

05:23OF THOSE IN THE CITY. THIS

05:25CHANGE BEFORE US IS ONE WAY THE

05:26CITY COUNCIL CAN HELP RESIDENTS

05:28SEE WHAT THEY ARE GETTING FOR

05:31THEIR TAX DOLLARS AND RESTORE

05:33TRUST IN GOVERNMENT WHILE

05:35HELPING TO SPREAD OVERSPEND IN

05:37THE FUTURE. I'M GRATEFUL TO

05:40COUNCIL MEMBERS CHUGHTAI AND

05:42CHOWDHURY WHO ADJOINE AS

05:44COAUTHORS. THAT SAID, I'VE

05:45HEARD FROM SOME CONCERNS FROM

05:47SOME OF MY COLLEAGUES ABT THE

05:48TIMELINE OF THIS RESOLUTION,

05:50NAMELY, THE FACT THAT IT

05:52RETROACTIVELY IMPOSES A ROLE

05:55ON DEPARTMENTS BASED ON SPEND

05:56FOR THE CURRENT YEAR. I'LL MOVE

05:59AHEAD WITHOUT RECOMMENDATION

06:00TODAY TO ALLOW TIME TO CONSIDER

06:01THOSE EDITS BEFORE THE FULL CITY

06:04COUNCIL MEETING THIS THURSDAY.

06:05I HOPE THE RESOLUTION WILL BE

06:07WILL EARN THE FULL SUPPORT OF

06:08THIS COUNCIL AT THAT TIME AND

06:09WELCOME ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION

06:11NOW. THANK YOU FOR THAT. I ASK

06:13FO A SECOND.

06:15>> SECOND.

06:15>> WE HAVE A PROPER MOTION

06:17BEFO US. COUNCIL MEMBER

06:21WHITING MED TO FORWARD WITHOUT

06:23RECOMMENDATION TO THURSDAY'S

06:25COUNCIL MEETING. ANY QUESTIONS

06:27OR DISCUSSION? I'LL RECOGNIZE

06:30COUNCILEMBER PALMISANO

06:31FOLLOWED BY VICE PRESIDENT

06:33OSMAN.

06:33>> THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.

06:35THANK YOU, COUNCIL MEMBER

06:37WHITING. WE'VE DISCUSSED THIS A

06:39LOT OFF THE DAIS. I DO HAVE A

06:41LOT OF QUESTIONSND CONCERNS

06:43BEFORE I CAN FULLY SUPPORT THIS.

06:46WE'VE TALKED THROUGH SOME OF

06:48THEM AND YOU HAVE BEEN VERY

06:50RECEPTIVE TO THEM, AS WELL. SO

06:51THANK YOUOR THOSE

06:52CONVERSATIONS. I AM UNCLEAR AS

06:55TO WHAT IS THE MECHANISM BY

06:57WHICH WE WILL BE NOTIFIED, IF A

06:59DEPARTMENT IS OVERBUDGETTED. I

07:02AM AWARE THAT FINANCE PREPARES

07:03MONTHLY REPORTS FOR EACH

07:05DEPARTMENT, BUT I'VE NEVER BEEN

07:07PRIVY TO THOSE. IS THIS

07:09SOMETHING THAT THE CITY COUNCIL

07:11PRESIDENT OR THE BUDGET CHAIR

07:13RECEIVES ON A MONTHLY BASIS? IT

07:17SOUNDS LIKE NO. AND I THINK

07:19LAST WEEK IN THE CONVERSATION

07:21WITH YOU, MADAM CHAIR, YOU

07:23HADN'T HEARD OR SEEN OF THAT

07:25MONTHLY REPORT. WOULD THERE BE

07:27A PROCESS TO SHARE THAT WITH US?

07:30BECAUSE I AM UNCLEAR ON THE

07:32PROCESS FOR DETERMINING WHE THE

07:34DEPARTMENT IS OVERBUDGETTED.

07:37LIKELY, THEY WOULDN'T GO OVER

07:39BUDGET UNTIL LATE IN THE YEAR,

07:40RIGHT. OR EVEN EARLY IN THE

07:42FOLLOWING YEAR. ONCE THOSE

07:45BOOKS ARE CLOSED. WHAT WOULD

07:46THE TIMELE LOOK LIKE FOR THAT?

07:49>> YEAH. THK YOU, COUNCIL

07:50MEMBER COU PALMISANO. I'M

07:52UNSURE OF ANY REPORTING ON WHEN

07:55A DEPARTMENT GOES OVER BUDGET

07:58WHEN THEY GI IT TO THE BUDGET

07:59CHAIR. I'M UNSURE O THAT. WE

08:01HAVE BUILT IN PARTICULARLY IN

08:05SUBSECTION 4 HERE, A THROUGH C.

08:07A DEPARTMENT ONCE THEY ENGAGE IN

08:11NEW CONTRACTUAL SPENDING, HAS TO

08:14NOTIFY WITHIN THAT RCA IF THEY

08:16HAVE GONE OVER BUDGET. WE'LL

08:18SEE WITHIN THAT, HEY, THE

08:20DEPARTMENT KNOWS. I THINK A

08:21DEPARTNT SHOULD KNOW IF THEY

08:22HAVE GONE OVER BUDGET OR NOT.

08:24AND SO IF THEY DO, IT WILL BE

08:27NOTED IN THAT NEW CONTRACTUAL

08:29SPENDING. WITHIN THE RCA

08:31PROCESS. BUT I'M NOT SURE OF

08:34ANOTHER PROCESS THAT MAYBE THE

08:36BUDGET CHAIR MAY RECEI.

08:38>> COUNCIL MEMBER, I I MAY.

08:41THE -- WE -- WE HAD A NEW

08:43FINANCIAL POLICY GO INTO EFFECT

08:45IN JANUARY. AND WE'LL SEE

08:46HAPPEN OVER THEOURSE OF NEXT

08:47YEAR, AND INTO THE FUTURE, IS

08:49MONTHLY REPORTING BY ALL

08:51DEPARTMENTS THAT EXCEED THEIR,

08:53UMM, ADOPTED D -- OR APPROVED

08:57BUDGET, UMM, TO COME BEFORE THE

09:01BUDGET COMMITTEE ON A MONTHLY

09:02BASIS. IT LIKELY WILL BE A

09:04COMBINATION OF, AH, UMM, OF

09:06WRITTEN REPORTS AND IN-PERS,

09:09UMM, ATTENDANCE BY -- BY A

09:12DEPARTMENTS OVERSPENDING TO

09:14PRESENT THEIR -- THEIR ON A

09:16MONTHLY BASIS TIR PLAN TO STAY

09:17WITHIN BUDGET. UMM, SO THAT'S

09:19AN ADDITIONAL PLACE WHERE THINGS

09:20LIKE THIS COULD BE INCLUDED.

09:22>> AND THEN, UMM, THANK YOU FOR

09:24THAT. AND THEN WOULD IT

09:27CONTINUE FOR THE REST OF THAT

09:29CALENDAR YEAR? UNTIL TRE'S A

09:30NEBUDGET APPROVED? AND THEN

09:33THEY'RE IN T GREEN AGAIN UNTIL

09:35THEY'RE NOT? OR HOW -- SO THIS

09:37WOULD BE A LOT OF, UMM,

09:40POTENTIAL PRESENTATIONS IN FRONT

09:41OF COUNCIL LATE IN THE YEAR. AS

09:43WE'RE GOING THROUGH BUDGET

09:45PRESENTATIONS FOR THE FOLLOWING

09:46YEAR.

09:46>> CORRECT. ND SO, AH, LET'S

09:50USE 2026, FOR EMPLE TODAY. AS

09:53WE KNOW, -- MPD HAS A PROJECTED

09:56OVERSPEND FOR THIS CURRENT

09:58YEAR'S BUDGET. THEY HAVE YET TO

10:00GO OVER THAT SPEND. THE MOMENT

10:03THEY DO, AH, THIS WOULD -- THIS

10:06RESOLUTION WOULD GO INTO PLACE.

10:07AND SO IT WOULD SAY, ANY NEW

10:11CONTRACTING FOR THE CURRENT

10:12YEAR, AH, HAS TO COME TO US IF

10:15IT'S UNDER THE $175,000 MARK --

10:17I'M SORRY. AT THE BOTTOM CAPS

10:19OUT AT $5,000. AT THEN WILL

10:21HAPPEN IS THE SECOND PRONG IS

10:24THE NEXT FULL YEA SO FOR 2027,

10:28MPD WOULD HAVE TO COME TO U

10:29WITH EVERY SINGLE CONTRACT

10:31BETWEEN $5,000 AND $175,000.

10:35AND SO THE HOPE IS THAT, ONE, I

10:39WE'RE ASKING OUR RESIDENTS TO

10:42TIGHTEN UP THEIR BOOT STRAPS,

10:44TIGHTEN UP THEIR BELT A LITTLE

10:45BIT, WE'RE PUTTING THOSE

10:47PARAMETERS AROUND OUR

10:48DEPARTMENTS AND CITY SPENDING,

10:50AS WELL. SO IT IS MY

10:52UNDERSTANDING, MY HOPE, I THINK

10:54WE'LL BE EDITING THIS TO NOT

10:55ATTACH TO THIS CURRENT YEAR.

10:58BUT FOR THE 2027 BUDGET. SO,

11:02AGAIN, I THINK IT IS FAIR IN

11:04CONVERSATIONS THAT WE'VE HAD, I

11:05THINK IT'S FAIR WE SHOULDTTACH

11:08RULES TO DEPARTMENTS IF THEY'RE

11:09NOT PLAYING BY THEM. I THINK

11:11THAT WILL B OUR HOPEFUL EDIT

11:14COMING INTO THE FULL COUNCIL.

11:16>> THAT IS AN IMPORTANT ONE.

11:17AND IPPRECIATE THAT. WE HAD

11:19TALKED ABOUT THAT BEFORE.

11:22ANOTHER TWEAK THAT MIGHT BE

11:25WARRANTED IS THE RESOLUTION

11:27DOESN'T SPECIFY THE FUND BEING

11:29CONSIDERED. COUNCIL HAS

11:31OVERSIGHT OF THE GENERAL FUND.

11:33WE C HAVEN'T HAVE OVERSIGHT

11:38OVER ENTERPRISE OR SPECIAL

11:39REVENUE FUNDS. I WOULD LIKE TO

11:40SPECIFY WHICH BUDGET DEPARTMENT

11:44FUND IT APPLIES TO. THAT KIND

11:45OF GETS I THE WEEDS. I DO THAT

11:47BECAUSE I THINK THERE ARE

11:49UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES THAT

11:50THIS COULD BRING. I SUPPORT

11:52CLOSE REVIEW OF BUDGETS AND

11:55HOLDING DEPARTMENTS ACCOUNTABLE

11:55FOR INVOLVE TIR

11:59VOLUNTARY SPENDING. THAT'S

12:00FINE. I THINK SOMETHING WE'VE

12:01TALKED ABOUT THAT WARRANTS A

12:02LITTLE BIT MORE REVIEW ARE,

12:04LIKE, WHAT THAT MEANS FOR PUBLIC

12:06WORKS. WE'VE SEEN REPORTS

12:08INDICATING THEY'VE EXCEEDED

12:09THEIR ANNUAL BUDGET IN PAST

12:10YEARS. AND IT'S ALMOST

12:12EXCLUSIVELY DUE TO SNOW CLEARING

12:14AND COPPER WIRE THEFT.

12:16OBVIOUSLY, PUBLIC WORKS DOESN'T

12:19CONTROL THE WEATHER OR -- AND WE

12:22WANT THEM TO BE FIXING OUR

12:24LIGHTSCROSS THE CITY AS SOON

12:26AS THEY CAN. IT'S PART OF THE

12:28ADVANTAGE OF HING A ROBUST,

12:31FULL SUPPORTIVE PUBLIC WORKS

12:34DEPARTMENT. I THINK WE WT TO

12:38MAKE SURE, AND THIS ADDITIONAL

12:39THING ABOUT SPECIFYING WHAT FUND

12:42MIGHT HELP. WE WOULDN'T IMPACT

12:45CORE CITY SERVICES. IN NOVEMBER

12:47AND DECEMBER. WE HAVE, IN A

12:49CALENDAR YEAR, OFTEN HALF OF

12:52DECEMBER IS PAST THE BUDGET.

12:53WE'RE NOT IN SESSION. AND WE

12:57HAVE A AWARD WORKWEEK WHERE WE

12:59DON'T HAVE MEETINGS. IT DOESN'T

13:00GIVE MUCH TIME OR MANY MEETINGS

13:02FOR DEPARTMENT HEADSO COME AND

13:03MAKE THEIR CASE. SO THOSE ARE A

13:05COUPLE OF CHANGES THAT I'D LIKL

13:09PRODUCT HERE. THANK YOU.

13:11>> THANK YOU. NEXT I'LL

13:13RECOGNIZE VICE PRESIDENT OSMAN

13:14FOLLOWED BY COUNCIL MEMBER

13:17CHAVEZ.

13:18>>

13:18>> THANK YOU SO MUCH. I THINK I

13:22GET -- OF THIS ORDINANCE OR THIS

13:25POLICY THAT WE'RE BRIING

13:26FORWARD. BUT -- BUT -- BUT THE

13:29CHALLENGING PART IS THE ONLY

13:30TIME WE HEAR ABOUT OVERSPENDING

13:32IS THIS TIME OF YEAR. A COUPLE

13:35OF MONTH LEFT. IS THAT WHAT

13:37YOU'RE TARGETING THOSE COUPLE OF

13:38MONTHS? OCTOBER THROUGH THE END

13:39OF THE YEAR?

13:41>> YEAH. THANK YOU, COUNCIL

13:43VICE PRESIDENT OSMAN. SO THAT

13:45IS THE FIRST PRONG OF THIS

13:47RESOLUTION. SO IT DOES ATTACH

13:50TO ANY DEPARTMENT THE MOMENT

13:52THEY OVERSPEND IN A CURRENT

13:53YEAR. AND SO, AIN, USING, FOR

13:55EXAMPLE, LET'S USE MPD, FOR

13:58EXAMPLE. MPD HAS YET TO GO OVER

14:01BUDGET FROM THE AOCATED ANNUAL

14:04AUTHORIZATION THAT YOU GAVE BACK

14:07IN 2025. THE MOMENT THEY DO,

14:09EVERY SINGLE CONTRACT FROM

14:11$5,000 TO $1757,000 WILL HAVE TO

14:13COME IN FRONT OF COUNCIL. WITHD

14:17PRONG IS THAT NOW WE ARE SAYING

14:19BECAUSE YOU WENT OVER BUDGET IN

14:21THAT PREVIOUS YEAR, THE ENTIRE

14:23NEXT YEAR YOU HAVE TO COME -- WE

14:25HAVE RESCINDED THE CONTRACTUAL

14:27AUTHORITY THAT WE' DELEGATED

14:29TO YOU BEFORE BACK IN 2022. SO

14:32THE -- WE ARE NOT PUNISHING A

14:35DEPARTMENT UNTIL THEY GO OVERBUR

14:38BUDGET, YOU NOW HAVE TO COME

14:39BACK TO US FOR THE NEXT -- I'M

14:42SORRY, FOR THE NEXT YEAR.

14:46>> IT IS A LITTLE BIT

14:51CONFUSIONING FOR ME. WHO IS

14:52GOING TO BE THE WATCHDOG? IS IT

14:53THE DERTMENT YOU'RE SAYING

14:55THAT MPD HAS NOT GONE THIS YEAR

14:57OVER BUDGET YET BUTHEY WILL.

14:58>> UH-HUH. CORRECT.

15:01>> WELL, WERE AT THE END OF

15:03THE YEAR. SO IT'S -- WE KNOW

15:05THAT.

15:06>> THE MOMENT THAT MPD GOES OVER

15:10BUDGET

15:11>> OKAY. UMM, I, -- YEAH. I

15:14THINK THATHE INTENTION IS GOOD

15:16BUT I LIKE TO SEE IT MORE IN,

15:20YOU KNOW, -- AH. IT MAKES SENSE

15:22TO HAVE THE DEPARTMENT,

15:26ESPECIALLY REQUIRE THEM TO

15:27REPORT PRIOR BEFORE, AH, END OF

15:30THE YEAR LIKE OCTOBER WHEN WE DO

15:32THE BUDG PRESENTATION. THAT

15:33MIGHT BE A SMART WAY. AND TO

15:35HAVE, A W WHO IS RESPONSIBLE

15:38TO MAKE THEM WORK OR ALERT.

15:42ALERT WHEN WE GO OVER A BUDGET.

15:44I THINK A COUPLE OF MONTHS MY,YE

15:50INTENTION. THEY CAN BE -- THEY

15:52CAN PLAN AROUND THAT. RIGHT.

15:54THEY CAN GET ALL THEIR CONTRACTS

15:56SIGNED BY BEFORE THEY'RE --

15:59BEFORE THEY WENT ON OVERTIME.

16:02SO IT'S A GOOD WAY OF GOING BUT

16:04I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S GOING TO DO

16:05ALL THE WORK THAT WE'RE LOOKING

16:09FOR. SO THAT IS, UMM, THAT'S

16:12GOING TO BE A CHALLENGE. AND,

16:14ALSO, I THINK THE POINT COUNCIL

16:15MEMBER PALMISANO MADE ABOUT CITY

16:18SERVICES AND PUBLIC WORKS IS

16:20VERY IMPORTANT FOR THEM TO --

16:22THINGS HAPPEN, YOU KNOW. THINGS

16:26LIKE THAT. THERE ARE MOMENTS

16:28WHERE WE DON'T WANT TO COME BACK

16:30HERE FOR $5,000 OR THA WORK HAS

16:33TO BE DONE RIGHT AWAY. AND

16:35MAYBE BE AN EXCEPTION WITH SOME

16:39DEMOC DEPARTMENTS LIKE

16:41PUBLIC WORKS. I LIKE TO SEE

16:43PUBLIC WORKS NOT INCLUDED IN

16:46THIS DEPARTMENT THAT CONTINUES

16:49TO -- MPD DEFINITELY. BUT

16:51PUBLIC WORKS, EXCEED GIVEN

16:54THE -- IF THERE'S AN OPTION FOR

16:55THAT, TOO. TO SELECT WHICH

16:56DEPARTMENTS CAN GO IN THIS

16:59POLICY. IT MIGHT BE SMART.

17:01>> AND THANKOU. JUST, I

17:03THINK, TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION.

17:05SO IN CONVERSATIONS WITH OUR

17:07FINANCE DEPARTMENT, AND OTHERS,

17:09SO WE HAVE TRIED TO MITIGAT FOR

17:11THE PUBLIC WORKS EXAMPLE. ANDKT

17:16HAPPENS NOW, RIGHT, PUBLIC WORKS

17:20TRADITIONALLY SEEN AS --

17:21TECHNICALLY GOES OVER BUDGET FOR

17:24FOR DOING WORK FOR OTHERS, THE

17:26REVENUE OFFSETS THEAST

17:28MAJORITY OF ANY OVERBUDGETTING.

17:30WE BUILT IT IN SUBSECTION 5

17:32HERE. ANY DEPARTMENT THAT USES

17:35REVENUE TO OFFSET THEIR

17:36OVERBUDGET IS EXCLUDED FROM THIS

17:40FISCAL POLICY RIGHT HERE. AND

17:41THEN, ALSO, WE HAVE ADDED

17:44LANGUAGE THATNLESS THE CITY

17:46COUNCIL PROVIDES OT OTHERWISE

17:48BY RESOLUTION. SO IF, RIGHT,

17:50LET'S USE, FOR EXAMPLE. PUBLIC

17:54WORK ONLY EXPECTS THREE SNOW

17:56EMERGENCY EVENTS THIS YEAR. BUT

17:57THERE WAS 10. I THINK THAT THE

18:03FAITH OF THIS RESOLUTION IS NOT

18:05TO AACH FOR THINGS UNSEEN BUT

18:08THINGS YOU CAN FORESEE AHEAD OF

18:09TIME. WE HAVE INCLUDED THAT

18:10LANGUAGE, AS WELL. IF SOMETHING

18:12LIKE THAT HAPPENS, YOU CAN BE

18:15WAIVE FROM THIS BY RESOLUTN.

18:20>>

18:20> THANK YOU.

18:23>> NEXT COUNCIL MEMBER CHAVEZ

18:24FOLLOWED BY COUNCIL MEMBER

18:25WARREN.

18:25>> THANK YOU, CHAIR CHUGHTAI. I

18:27WANT T THANK COUNCIL MEMBER

18:28WHITING FOR BRINGING THIS

18:29FORWARD, AS WELL. A FOR THE

18:32EXPLANATION THAT YOU JUST

18:33MENTIONED REGARDING PUBLIC

18:34WORKS. IT'S VERY CLEAR THAT THE

18:36RESOLUTION IS WELL THOUGHT OUT

18:37AND THERE'S A LOT OF GUARDRAILS

18:39IN PLACE. AND I SUPPORT IT.

18:40SO, THANK YOU.

18:44>> THANK YOU. NEXT COUNCIL

18:46MEMBER WARREN FOLLOWED BY

18:46COUNCIL MEMBER STEVENSON.

18:49>> THANK YOU, CHAIR. UMM, MY

18:56SENTIMENTS ARE SOMEWHAT SIMILAR

18:58TO MY COUNCIL COLLEAGUE

19:00PALMISANO WITH RESPECT TOHE

19:01FACT I WANT TO BE VERY WELL

19:05INFORMED WITH WHATEV IS

19:06HAPPENING WITH DIFFERENT

19:07DEPARTMENT BUDGETS OR WHAT HAVE

19:09YOU. I THINK IT IS OVERTASKING

19:13AND UNNECESSARY TO ASK FOR A

19:15DEPARTMENT TO COME BEFORE THE

19:17BODY ANY TIME THERE'S AN AMOUNT

19:20OF $5,000 TO $175,000, LIKE,

19:23THAT JUST DOESN'T MAKE

19:26ABSOLUTELY ANY SENSE THROUGH THE

19:28PROCUREMENT PROCESS, THEY WOULD

19:29DO THEIR OWN FINDINGS AND FOLLOW

19:32WHATEVER IS HAPPENING END TO END

19:35FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO NEGOTIATE

19:37AND GET WHATEVER THEIR NEEDS

19:39MET. WHETHER THEY'RE WORKING

19:41STRATEGICALLY WITH OTHER

19:42DEPARTMENTS OR WHAT HAVE YOU.

19:43BUT IF THEY HAVE T SPEND MONEY,

19:44THEY HAVE TO SPEND MONEY. AND

19:46WE SAW EARLIER TS YEAR WITH

19:49THE NATURE OF THINGS THAT CAN

19:50TRULY GET OUT OF CONTROL WITHIN

19:54OUR CITY AND INDIVIDUALS WITHIN

19:57CITY DEPARTMENTS THAT PROVIDE

19:58ESSENTIAL SERVICES TO THE

20:00CONSTITUENTS IN THE CITY OF

20:02MINNEAPOLIS HAVE TO MAKE

20:04DECISIONS VERY QUICKLY. WE

20:05DON'T WANT TO SIT AROUND AND

20:06WAIT FOR A COUNCIL DECISION FOR

20:09$5,000 TO $175,000. NOW, IF

20:12IT'S SOMETHING LIKE THATHAT'S

20:14OVER THAT. I CAN GET IT. BUT

20:16IF A $5,000 DECISION IS GOING TO

20:19SAVE THE LIFE OR, YOU KNOW, VERY

20:26ESSENTIAL GOODS AND SERVICES TO

20:27THE CONSTITUENTS OF THE CITY OF

20:29MINNEAPOLIS,Y ALL MEANS, MAKE

20:31THAT DECISION AND SOLVE IT.

20:32THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRUSTING YOU

20:34IN YOUR VERY DEDICATED ROLES TO

20:36PROVIDE THESE ESSENTIAL SERVICES

20:37TO THE CITY TO DO. IT DOESN'T

20:39HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH COMING

20:43BEFORE THE COUNCIL FOR A $5,000

20:45DECISION. OR $175,000 DECISION.

20:49USE YOUR BEST JUDGMENT AND WORK

20:52IT OUT. IF YOU'RE EXCEEDING

20:54THOSE THINGS THAT I CAN

20:56UNDERSTAND WHERE THAT MAY MAKE A

20:58LITTLE BIT OF SENSE AND WHERE WE

21:01COULD THEN HAVE A DISCUSSION.

21:05BUTHOSE ARE -- I DON'T.

21:06THAT'S -- THAT DOESN'T RESONATE

21:07WITH ME. BUT, I MEAN, GOT IT.

21:10IF YOU AIN'T GOT IT, DON'T

21:12SPEND IT. IF YOU NEED TO SPEND

21:14IT, GO AHEAD AND SPEND IT.

21:16FIGURE OUT A WAY TO RECOVER FROM

21:17IT. AND I THINK THAT IT WOULD

21:21DO GOOD IN ROVERY. I THINK

21:23OUR BUOYANCY IS BETTER THAN

21:25$5,000 TO $175,000. THE END.

21:27>> THANK YOU. NEXT I'LL

21:30RECOGNIZE COUNCIL MEMBER

21:41UNDERSTAND. WOULD IT APPLY TO

21:42THE YEAR AFTER -- YEAH. OKAY.

21:46AND THEN WOULD THIS APPLY, LIKE,

21:48PREEMPTIVELY WHEN A DEPARTMENT

21:50IS ON TRACK TO GO OVER? NO. IT

21:53THAT'S ALL. THANK YOU.

22:21WHITING.

22:22>> THANK YOU, UMM, CHAIR

22:26CHUGHTAI. YEAH. START OFF BY

22:27SAYING THANKS, COUNCIL MEMBER

22:29WHITING, FOR A THE LEGWORK ON

22:31THIS. ND JUST BRINGING THIS

22:33IDEA FORWARD. I'M PROUD T BE A

22:36CO-AUTHOR ON THIS. AND I JUST

22:37WANT TO BRING IT BACK TO THE

22:40NSTITUENTS AND THE RESIDENTS

22:41AND THE PEOPLE WE ALL SERVE HERP

22:47QUESTION I'VE GOTTEN OVER AND

22:50OVER AGAIN THE LAST FEW MONTHS

22:51ABOUT OUR CY BUDGET FROM

22:53CONSTITUENTS IS COUNCIL MEMBER

22:54CHOWDHURY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING

22:56ABOUT THE UNCHECKED OVERSPENDING

22:57WE'RE SEEING? CITY GOVERNMENT?

22:59THAT'S SOMETHING I WANT YOU TO

23:00WORK ON. AND IT'S A PRIORITY.

23:03I GET E-MAILS ABOUT THAT, THE

23:07LEVY INCREASE, 20% IMPACT TO MY

23:12WARD, THE RIGHT-SIZING OVERTIME

23:14CONVERSATION THAT HAS BLIND

23:15SIDEDDED SO MANY COMMUNITY

23:17MEMBERS. AND THE CUTS TO

23:19SERVICE. AND PEOPLE WANT TO SEE

23:20THIS COUNCIL WORK ON A WAY TO

23:22PUT SOME CHECKS IN PLACE. AND

23:25WHAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW IS NOT

23:26WORKING. AND SO WE NEED TO HAVE

23:29SOME INCENTIVES AND SOME

23:31DISINCENTIVES FOR THE

23:33OVERSPENDING. AND OUR TOOL IN

23:35OUR ROLE FOR OVERSIGHT IS HAVING

23:38THIS TYPE OF CHECK. AND THAT'S

23:40WHY I SUPPORT IT. IN TERMS OF

23:42WHERE IT COULD GO.

23:43I THINK WE HAVE THE ELR

23:46COMMITTEE FOR THIS SPECIFIC

23:49REASON. ENTERPRISE, LABOR

23:53RELATIONS, FORMERLY

23:58ADMINISTRATION ENTERPRISE

23:58OVERSIGHT. I THI SAME

24:00PREMISE. I HEAR THE POINT ABOUT

24:02$5,000 BEING A NOMINAL AMOUNT.

24:04THINK WHEN YOU HAVE AN OVERAGE

24:06ALREADY IN YOUR BUD,

24:09BUDGET, THAT'S THE TRIGGERING

24:10MECHANISM THAT LEADS TO THE

24:11OVERSIGHT. OF IT IT BRINGS US

24:13TO A PLACE WHERE WE CAN HAVE THE

24:14CONVERSATIONS EARLY ON ABOUT

24:18RESOLVING ANY OVERSPENDING

24:19ISSUES. AND I DON'T THINK WE

24:20SHOULD LOOK AT THIS AS A

24:22PUNISHMENT. I THINK WE SHOULD

24:25LOOK AT THIS HAVE ANPSTREAM

24:30WAY OF CHECKING OVERSPENDING.

24:33IF IT'S A $5,000 CONTRACT FOR

24:36SOMETHING THAT'S EXTREMELY

24:37EMERGENT, THAT PEOPLE ND.

24:39THEN WE HAVE THE CONVERSATION

24:39ABOUT IT. OR MAYBE IT'S

24:42$17000 ANDAVE THE

24:43CONVERSATION ABOUT IT. WE PASS

24:44IT. THEN WE HAVE THE

24:46CONVERSATION ABOUT, OKAY, WHAT

24:49ARE YOU DOING IN THE MTHS

24:50COMING UP TO ENSURE WE' NOT

24:52GOING TO NEED MORE OVERSPENDING

24:54OR ARE YOU PROJECTING FURTHER

24:58OVERSPENDING? THIS IS ONE OF

25:03THE WAYS TO BUILD ON T ACTUAL

25:05TOOL. I'M HEAR TO LISTEN ANY

25:06IDEAS HOW WE CAN CHECK SOME OF

25:07THE OVERSPENDING. AND, ALSO, I

25:09THINK IT'S FAIR TO MAKE IT

25:11ACROSS ALL DEPARTMENTS. FAIR I

25:13FAIR. WE ALSO KNOW IT'S NOT ALL

25:14DEPARTMENTS OVERSPENDIN AND

25:18SO IF WE SEE THAT HISTORICALLY

25:19OVERSPENDING IS NOT HAPPENING

25:21ACROSS A BROAD AMOUNT OF

25:22DEPARTMENTS, THEN WE DON'T HAVE

25:24TO WORRY ABOUT ALL OF THESE NEW

25:26CONTRACTS COMING INTO OUR

25:27COMMITTEES.

25:28BUT FOR THE AREAS WHEREE SEE

25:30OVERSPENDING, THAT'S WHAT --

25:32WHERE WE CAN ADDRESS IT. AND

25:33I'LL BRING IT BACKO PEOPLE.

25:34LIKE, WE HAVE -- $60 MILLION

25:37BUDGET GAP. AND WE'RE GOING TO

25:40SEE LAYOFFS OF OUR WORK FORCE

25:42THFIRST TIME IN A LONG TIME.

25:43THIS IS DEEPLY SERIOUS. IT'S ON

25:46THE MINDOF OUR CONSTITUENTS

25:49WHO HAVE FAMILY MEMBERS, LOVED

25:50ONES, OR THEMSELVES THAT WK

25:52WITHIN THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS

25:57I HOPE WE CAN GET TO A PLACE

25:59WHERE WE GET 13-0. COUNCIL

26:00MEMBER WHITING, YOU'RE MOVING

26:02FORWARD WITHOUT RECOMMENDATN

26:02TO HAVE THOSE CONVERSATIONS.

26:04BUT I THINK THIS IS SOMETHING

26:06PEOPLE WANT US TO WORK ON. SO

26:07THANK YOU.

26:10>> THANK YOU. FINALLY,

26:12RECOIZE COUNCIL MEMBER

26:12WHITING.

26:12>> THANK YOU, CHAIR CHUGHTAI.

26:14AND JUST TO ADDRESS A FEW

26:16QUESTIONS. I'M TALK ABOUT IT

26:18AGAIN. AND THEN ADDRESS A FEW

26:21POINTS MADE. LAST WEEK, OUR

26:24SENIORS FAIR ON THE SOUTH SIDE.

26:26SO ONE OF THE QUESTIONS THAT WE

26:28CONTINUED TO GET ASK AROUND

26:30PROPERTY TAXES. AND, HEY,

26:31COUNCIL MEMBERS, HOW CAN YOU

26:33REIGN IN THIS 11.5 -- .6%

26:40PROPERTY TAX INCREASE? ONE OF

26:40THE QUESTIONS I ASKED, PROBABLY

26:42TO SIMILAR TO THIS BODY WAS HOW

26:44MANY PEOPLE KNOW HOW MUCH MONEY

26:46THEY HAVE IN THEIR BANK ACCOUNT

26:47RIGHT NOW? 9 OF THE ROOM

26:52RAISED THEIR HAND. WHAT WE'RE

26:54ASKING DEPARTMENTS TO DO AS WE

26:55EXPECT OUR RESIDENTS TO DO IS

26:57KNOW HOW MUCH MONEY YOU GOT IN

26:59THE I BANK ACCOUNT. IF YOU DONU

27:04CAN'T BUY THE NEW THINGS.

27:06THAT'S WHAT WE'RE ASKING

27:06DEPARTMENTS TO DO RIGHT NOW.

27:08THIS IS HOW MUCH YOU HAVE. IF

27:10YOU OVERSPEND THAT, YOU CANNOT

27:12BUY NEW THINGS. OR AT LEAST YOU

27:13HAVE TO COME BACK TO THIS BODY

27:15TO SEE IF THOSE NEW THINGS ARE

27:16THINGS THAT THIS CITY AND OUR

27:18RESIDENTS NEED. WITH THAT, UMM,

27:22THIS ONLY ATTACHES TO NEW SPEND.

27:26IF WE'RE LOOKING, FOR EXAMPLE,

27:32OF WIRE THEFT IN OUR CITY.

27:34COPPER WIRE THEFT. THIS DOES

27:36NOT A -- I'M SORRY. DISALLOW

27:39DEPARTMENT TO GO OUT AND FIX THE

27:40THINGS AND SPEND SFF TIME ON

27:42IT. SPEND EMERGENT TIME.

27:44WHETHER IT IS FROM OPERATION

27:46METRO SURGE, A THEFT, OR

27:48OTHERWISE. IT ONLY WOULD STEP

27:50IN IF THERE'S A NEW CONTRACTING

27:56PURPOSE AT THAT POINT. IF

27:57YOU'RE GOING TO SPEND NEW

27:59DOLLARS THROUGH OUR RCA

28:00CONTRACT. THAT, AS A COUNCIL,

28:02THOSE ARE THINGS WE CAN HAVE

28:04OVERSIGHT OVER. IF YOU'RE GOING

28:05TO DO THAT, THEN YOU HAVE TO

28:06COME TO US FIRST. AND SO,

28:08SIMILARLY, COUNCIL MEMBER

28:09WARREN, I DIDN'T WANT TO GET IN

28:10THE WAY OF ME EMERGENT EXTREME

28:13EXAMPLES. WE HAVE SEEN.

28:18COUNCIL MEMBER PALMISANO AND I

28:19WERE SPEAKING IN HER WARD THERE

28:22WAS A WATER MAIN BREAK THAT

28:25BURST EVERYWHERE, REQUIRED THE

28:26CITY TO GO OUT AND MAKE SOME

28:28ADJUSTMENTS AND DO SOME THINGS.

28:30THAT WOULDN'T NECESSARILY GET IN

28:31THE WAY. IF THEY -- UNLS THEY

28:33GO OUT AND CONTRACT WITH

28:35SOMEBODY TO BRING IN OTHER

28:39THINGS. TO PUT IN YEAR, I THINK

28:47IT'S AROUND 59 CONTRACTS FOR THE

28:49ENTIRE YEAR, THUS FAR, FOR OUR

28:51PROFESSIONAL SERVICES.

28:53HISTORICALLY OVER THE LAST,

28:55SINCE 2022, WE'VE HAD ABOUT 200

28:57CONTRACTS. SO, RIGHT. THIS

29:00CITY HAS THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS

29:02OFONTRACTS. THAT NEW SPEND IS

29:05ABOUT 200ISH CONTRACTS A YEA

29:08SINCE 2022. AND SO WHAT WE'RE

29:09SAYING IS, HEY, YOU CAN'T -- WE

29:11WOT BE ABLE TO DO ALL SPENDING

29:13AND TOUCH ALL THINGS BUT IN THIS

29:14AREA WHERE WE'VE SEEN NICKELS

29:17AND DIMES MATTER. RIGHT. IT

29:18SHOWS UP. WE'RE ASKING FOLKS TO

29:28STAY WITHIN THAT BUDGET.

29:30>> THANK YOU. TWO ADDITIONAL

29:32COUNCIL MEMBERS IN QUEUE.

29:34COUNCIL MEMBER PALMISANO

29:35FOLLOWED BY COUNCIL MEMBER

29:36WARREN.

29:37>> SORRY, MADAM CHAIR. I WANTED

29:39COUNCIL MEMBER WHITING TO HAVE

29:40THE LAST WORD. HERE IS THE

29:41THING, THE CITY COUNCIL, THIS

29:44CITY COUNCIL, ISOT KNOWN TO BE

29:48EXPEDITIOUS IN OUR DECISION

29:51MAKING. DEPARTMENTS ARE

29:52CONCERNED THIS IS GOING TO GUM

29:55UP THE PROCESS. AND I THINK

29:57THEY'RE RIGHTFULLY CONCERNED.

29:58T THIS IDEA THAT REVENUE

30:00OFFSETS THE OVERSPENDING JUSTDO

30:09SNOW CLEARING IS ONE EXAMPLE.

30:11WE DON'T CHARGE PEOPLE MORE FOR

30:12ANOTHER SNOW EMERGENCY, EVEN

30:13THOUGH IT COSTS US ABOUT AMILLIT

30:16OF THEM. I DON'T WANT PUBLIC

30:18WORKS TO STOP DECLARING SNOW

30:19EMERGENCIES, I DON'T WANT THEM

30:21TO BE INCENTIVIZED TO STOP. I

30:23WANT THEM TO CONTINUE BASING IT

30:24ON FACTS AND METRICS AND

30:25FORECASTS. LIKE THEY DO TODAY.

30:28I DISAGREE WITH COUNCIL MEMBER

30:30CHAVEZ THAT THIS IS SIMPLE.

30:32IT'S NOT. ANOTHER ONE WOULD BE

30:34TRASH PICK UP AFTER AN IMPROMPTU

30:36EVENT. OR A MAR MARCH OR

30:40SOMETHING LIKE THAT. BARRIERS

30:41FOR CROWD CONTROL. IMMEDIATE

30:43USE OF REG SERVICES TO GO OUT

30:46AND ADDRESS A PROBLEM. THESE

30:46ARE ISSUES WE'VE HAD JUST THIS

30:50YEAR. SAINT PAUL HAD MORE

30:52DIFFICULT TIME WITH COPPER WIRE

30:53THEFT. THEY STILL ARE FIGURING

30:56IT OUT. OUR PUBLICORKS

30:58DIRECTOR CAME AND FOUND A WAY TO

31:00SOLVE IT WITH HIS EXISTING

31:03FULL-SERVICE PUBLIC WORKS

31:03DEPARTMENT. IT DOES STOP THEIR

31:05NEW CONTRACT WITH THE ALUMINUM

31:10WIRE VENDOR IN A CASE LIKE THAT.

31:13THEY DIDN'T HAVE A VENDOR, FOR

31:15EXAMPLE. ION'T KNOW THAT

31:16DEEPLY. THIS YEAR ALONE, HOW

31:19MANY TIMES HAS THIS CITY COUNCIL

31:22DELAYEDED A DECISION IN

31:24COMMITTEE OR FULL COUNCIL CHOSEN

31:26TO WAIT AND SAY THEY NEED MORE

31:27INFOATION? I DON'T THINK WE

31:29SHOULD PUT OURSELVES IN THE

31:31MIDDLE OF DELIVERING BASIC CITY

31:34SERVICES. AND SO TO THAT END, I

31:35THINK THIS RESOLUTION NEEDS MORE

31:38WORK. THOUGH, YES, IT IS ALSO

31:40SOMETHING I WANT US TO KEEP

31:41WORKING ON WITH, TOO.

31:42THANK YOU.

31:43>> THANK YOU. FINALL I WILL

31:45RECOGNIZE COUNCIL MEMBER

31:47WARREN.

31:47>> THANK YOU, CHAIR. COUNCIL

31:50MEMBER PALMISANO, YOU -- I'M

31:53JUST MESSING WITH IT. YOU

31:56READING MY NOTES? I'M JOKING

31:57WITH HER. SHE'S NOT DOING

31:59ANYTHING TO ME. BUT THOSE ARE

32:01MY SENTIMENTS. LIKE, I DON'T

32:04WANT ANY CONSTITUENT IN THIS

32:05CITY TO PICK UP THE PHONE,

32:08DIALING 9-1-1 AND HERE IT IS.

32:11"I'M SORRY, THE POLICE

32:12DEPARTMENT CANNOT RESPOND TO YOU

32:13BECAUSE THEY ARE OVERBUDT."

32:15LIKE WHAT IN THE SAM SMITH! WE

32:18DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THAT. AND

32:19?

32:19NO CONSTITUENT IS GOING TO WANT

32:21TO HEAR THAT. IF THERE'S A SYNC

32:24HOLE THAT APPEARS IN THE MID OF

32:25SOME OF OUR STREETS WHO HAVE NOT

32:27BEEN PROPERLY, YOU KNOW,

32:30RESURFACED OVER WHATEVER TIME

32:32PERIOD OR I HAVE CONSTITUENTS

32:33WHO ARE COMING AND KNOCKING ON

32:35THE DOORS SAYING THAT THE

32:36SIDEWALK IS SYNCING BECAUSE OF

32:38WHATEVER THE CASE IS. THEY'RE

32:39NOT GOING TO WANT TO HEAR THAT

32:42THIS IS NOT IN THE BUDGET,

32:44ACCORDING TO T STRATEGIC PLAN

32:46OF SAID DEPARTMENT. SO WE DON'T

32:47KNOW WHEN WE'RE GOING TO GET TO

32:49IT. BECAUSE WE'RE NOT SPENDING

32:50ANY NEW MONEY. THEY WANT TO

32:53KNOW THEIR EMERGENT SITUATION IS

32:55GOING TO BE RESOLVED. HOWEVER

32:56THAT LOOKS. WHETHER IT'S NEW

32:57MOY OR OLD MONEY OR HOWEVER

32:59THE CASE IS. BECAUSE THEY KNOW

33:01THEY'RE PANG THEIR MONEY,

33:02WHICH IS THEIR TAX DOLLARS. SO,

33:05HOWEVER IT NEEDS TO HAPPEN, IN

33:08ORDER TO KEEP THINGS FLOWING

33:10SMOOTH. IT NEEDS TO HAPPEN.

33:12YES, IT'S UNCOMFORTABLE. WE

33:14DON'T LIKE IT. CHANGE IS

33:15UNCOMFORTABLE. GROWING PAINS

33:16HURT. ALL OF THAT STUFF.

33:19BUT -- AND WE DO NEED TO KEEP A

33:22GREAT, YOU KNOW, EYE ON WHAT'S

33:24HAPPENING WITH OUR SPENDING.

33:26BUT I THINK THAT IT ALL TAKES A

33:28LOT OF SELF-CONTROL, TOO, IN THE

33:31WAY THAT WE MOVE AND HOW

33:34INDIVIDUALS IN OUR CITY RESPOND

33:37TO CERTAIN THINGS THAT ARE

33:38HAPPENING THAT SOMETIMES COST US

33:41MORE THAN WHAT WE'RE WILLING TO

33:42SPEND. YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M

33:44SAYING? SO AS WE LOOK AT THOSE

33:48TYPE OF BEHAVIOR CONTRACTS THAT

33:50CAUSE EXCESS SPENDING IN AREAS

33:52IN WHICH WE KNOW THAT WE DO NOT

33:55CARE TO LIKE TO SPEND A LOT OF

33:57MONEY IN THOSE AREAS,

33:59SELF-CONTROL IS THE BEST

34:01CONTROL. ESPECIALLY WHEN WE

34:04TALK ABOUT SPENDING. A THE

34:06MORE WE CAN KEEP OURSELVES UNDER

34:08CONTROL, BASED ON THE WAY WE

34:09RESPOND TO TNGS, I THINK THAT

34:11WILL ALSO HELP OUR BANKROLL LOOK

34:13BETTER. THE END.

34:16>> THANK YOU. NEXT I'LL

34:19RECOGNIZE COUNCIL MEMBER WHITING

34:21FOLLOWED BY COUNCIL MEMBER

34:21CHAVEZ.

34:22>> THANK YOU, CHAIR CHUGHTAI AND

34:24THANK YOU COUNCIL MEMBER

34:25PALMISANO AND COUNCIL MEMBER

34:26WARREN. RIGHT. THOSE ARE --

34:29HESITATIONS I HAD, AS WELL. AND

34:32SO IT'S PARTICULARLY WHY THIS

34:33RESOLUTION IS DRAFTED AS SUCH.

34:35AND SO COUNCIL MEMBER PALMISANO

34:39MENTIONED REGULATY SERVICE

34:42PROVISION, SNOW EMERGENCIES,

34:43TRASH PK UP. THIS DOES NOT

34:45TOUCH ANY OF THAT. ALL OF THAT

34:47WORK CAN PROCEED. WHAT IT DOES

34:50SAY, RIGHT, THIS DOES NOT -- IF

34:51YOU CALL 9-1-1, THIS IS -- 9-1-1

34:55WILL RESPOND. IF YOU CALL

34:573-1-1, IF YOU CALL PUBLIC WORKS,

34:59THEY'RE GOING TO RESPOND! THIS

35:01DOES NOTHING WITH THAT. THIS

35:03SAYS, WITHIN THOSE THINGS,

35:04RIGHT. IF YOU DO HAVE AN

35:11UNIDENTIFIED, UNBUDGETED AMOUNT

35:11OF SNOW EMERGENCIES, THIS THE

35:14HAS TO COME BACK TO CITY

35:16COUNCIL. IF THAT PUSHES YOU

35:17OVER BUDGET. IT DOESN'T GET IN

35:20THE WAY OF THE SERVICE DELIVERY.

35:22IT SAYS AT THE END OF THE YEAR,

35:24OR WHENEVER YOU HIT THE NUMBER,

35:26DO YOU HAVE TO COME TO US FOR

35:28THE ADDITIONAL SPEND THAT YOU GO

35:29THROUGH. AND SO, AGAIN, IT

35:32DOESN'T TOUCH THE DEPARTMENTS'

35:34ABILITY TO ENGAGE I SERVICE

35:36DELIVERY UNLESS IT IS A NEW

35:39NTRACTED SPEND. AND SO,

35:41RIGHT. WE HAVE PUBLIC WORKS, WE

35:44HAVE FIRE DEPARTMENT, WE HAVE

35:46OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT THAT DO

35:48FANTASTIC WORK AND DO FANTASTIC

35:51SERVICE DELIVERY. THIS DOES NOT

35:53TOUCH THAT LEVEL OF SERVICE

35:54DELIVERY. WHAT IT DOES DO,

35:56AGAIN, IS ATTACH TO NEW SPEND.

35:59NEW DOLLARS SPENT. AND SO WE

36:01AR LOOKING AT, I THINK,

36:03DIFFERENT THINGS HERE. OF IF

36:04YOU ARE A HIRED EMPLOYEE FOR THE

36:06CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS, IF YOU ARE

36:09SOMEBODY -- IF YOU'RE A POLICE

36:11OFFICER, A FIREFIGHTER, AND YOU

36:13HAVE TO DO 200 HOURS OF WORK IN

36:18THE MOH OF NOVEMBER. THIS

36:19DOESN'T SAY YOU CAN'T DO THAT.

36:21IT SAYS YOU ARE NOW OVERBUDGET.

36:23THAT DEPARTMENT HAS TO COME TO

36:25US TO CONTRACT IN NEW

36:27CONTRACTUAL SERVICES. THANK

36:30YOU.

36:30>> THANK YOU. COLLEAGUES, I'M

36:32GOING TO NOTE THAT WE HAVE

36:35SEVERA VERY LENGTHY ITEMS TO

36:36GET THROUGH AND THE MOTION ON

36:38THIS ITEM IS TO MOVE IT FORWARD

36:40WITHOUT RECOMMENDATION. SO THAT

36:42FURTHER REFINEMENT CAN HAPPEN.

36:43PRIOR THURSDAY'S COUNCIL

36:45MEETING. I'LL RECOGNIZE COUNCIL

36:46MEMBER CHAVEZ AND COUNCILEMBER

36:48WARREN.

36:49>> THANK YOU, CHAIR CHUGHTAI. I

36:50WANT TO THANK COUNCIL MEMBER

36:51WHITING, AGAIN, FOR EXPLAING

36:52WHAT HE ALREADY EXPLAINED

36:54MULTIPLE TIMES. UMM, I THINK

36:57THIS IS IMPORTANT. I'M PROUD TO

36:59SUPPORT IT. AND I THINK, ASWE'N

37:02THIS BODY ABOUT CUTTING MORE

37:03MONEY FROM THE CITY BUDGET, I

37:05JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT'S

37:09COROVERSIAL.

37:23ROLL.

42:20RESOLUTION IS TO REQUEST

42:29COMMUNITY SOURCE NAVIGATORS.

42:33THESE NAVIGATORS ADDRESS

42:34COMPREHENSIVE NEEDS, INCLUDING

42:37HOUSING, EMPLOYMENT HEALTH,ND

42:38CONNECTION TO OTHER SERVICES.

42:40I'M JOINED HERE TODAY BY

42:42DIRECTOR AMANDA HARRINGTON FOR

42:44THE NEIGHBORHOOD SAFETY

42:45DEPARTMENT. AGAIN, WE'LL COVER

42:49THIS QUICKLY SINCE WE JUST WENT

42:50OVER IT. THIS IS THE SAME

42:54MODEL, SAME LOCATION,

42:55CO-LOCATION OF SERVICES. TO

42:56MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ABLE TO

42:59CONNECT INDIVIDUALS SEAMLESSLY

43:01TO OTHER SERVICES IN THE CENTER.

43:08THIS TRANSFER IS FOR THE

43:10NEIGHBORHOOD SAFETY DEPARTMENT

43:11TO PROVIDE COMMUNITY RESOURCE

43:15NAVIGATORS. AND AT THIS TI,

43:17I'LL INVITE DIRECTOR HARRINGTON

43:19TO SPEAK MORE IN THE DETAIL

43:20AROUND THE SVICE AND THE

43:23SCOPE.

43:29>> GOOD AFTERNOON. AMANDA

43:31HARRINGTON, DIRECTOR OF THE

43:32NEIGHBORHOOD SAFETY DEPARTMENT.

43:33E COMMUNITY RESOURCE NAVIGATOR

43:34PILOT IS NEW FOR THE CITY OF

43:35MINNEAPOLIS. WE HAVE JUST

43:37ISSUED THE RFP, ACTUALLY, IT

43:41OSES NOVEMBER 10th, 2026.

43:42WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO PROCURE ARE

43:45BASICALLY COMMUNITYAVIGATION

43:46AND RESOURCE COORDINATION

43:49SERVICES. THE IDEA IS THAT ANY

43:52COMMUNITY MEMBER WHO WALKS INTO

43:54THE SOUTH MINNEAPOLIS SAFETY

43:56CENTER COULD WORK WITH ONE OF

43:57THE RESOURCE NAVIGATORS. THEY

43:58WOULGET A NEEDS ASSESSMENT,

44:00AND THEN A SHORT AND LONG-TERM

44:02INDIVIDUALIZED PLAN WOULD BE

44:05PREPARED FOR THAT COMMUNITY

44:07MEMBER. IT WOULD BE A

44:08REQUIREMENT OF THE CONTRACTOR TO

44:11UNDERSTAND ALL THE AVAILAB

44:12RESOURCES IN THE COMMUNITY. WE

44:13ARE NOT TRYING TO DUPLICATE

44:15RESOURCETHAT EXIST. YOU'VE

44:17HEARD ME SAY WE'RE RESOURCE-RICH

44:20CITY. PEOPLE CAN'T ALWAYS FIND

44:21THE RESOURCES. IT WOULD BE

44:23THESE INDIVIDUALS WHO WOULD HELY

44:27SPECIFIC RESOURCES. BUT ALL THE

44:28REURCES IN OUR COMMUNITY.

44:29AND IT WOULD BE A REQUIREMENT

44:30FOR THEM TO FOLLOW UP TO ENSURE

44:34SUCCESSFUL CONNECTION TO THE

44:35RESOURCES. SO IT WOULD NOT JUST

44:36BE PROVIDING A PHONE NUMBER OR A

44:39FLYER. WE WOULD HAVE MUCH MORE

44:40OF A HANDOFFO ENSURE THEY'RE

44:42CONNECTED. AND THAT'S PART OF

44:44THE RESOURCE COORDINATION. WHEN

44:46WE DID THE ENGAGEMENT WITH

44:48COMMUNITY, WE HEARD SO MANY

44:50DIFFERENT SERVICES THAT

44:50COMMUNITY MEMBERS WERE

44:51INTERESTED IN. AND WE DON'T

44:53HAVE THE CAPACITY TO PUT ALL OF

44:55THOSE RESOURCES IN ONE CENTER.

44:56BUT WE CAN HAVE A PERSON

44:58CONNTING COMMUNITY MEMBERS

44:59BACK OUT TO THOSE RESOURCES THAT

45:01EXIST ELSEWHERE.

45:04THE LIST YOU SEE IS AN EXAMPLE

45:05OF THINGS THAT WERE NAMED BY

45:07COUNITY MEMBERS, HOUSING,

45:09BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, SUBSTANCE

45:10USE, FOOD RESOURCES, ET. CETERA.

45:12AND CERTAINLY NOT LIMITED TO

45:13THOSE RESOURCES. BUT GIVES YOU

45:15A BROAD IDEA O WHAT COMMUNITY

45:16MEMBERS ARE LOOKING FOR. AND,

45:18AGAIN, WE WOULD EXPECT THIS

45:20CONTRACTOR WOULD ASSIST WITH

45:21SCHEDULING, COMPLETING

45:23APPLICATIONS, PERHAPS GATHERING

45:24DOCUMENTATION AND CERTAINLY

45:26NAVIGATING THE PUBLIC SYSTEMS

45:27WHICH CAN BE COMPLICATEDO DO.

45:33WE ARE AVAILABLE FOR ANY

45:35SPECIFIC QUESTIONS.

45:36>> THANK YOU FOR YOUR

45:39PRESENTATION ON BOTH OF THESE

45:41ITEMS, COLLE.

45:44COLLEAGUES, ANY QUESTIONS?

45:45COUNCIL MEMBERARREN FOLLOWED

45:46BY COUNCIL MEMBER CHAVEZ.

45:49>> THANK YOU, CHAIR. THANK YOU

45:50SO MUCH, DIRECTOR, FOR THAT.

45:51AND I THINK THIS IS A WONDERFUL

45:55ESSENTIAL SERVICE THAT IS

45:59DEFINITELY NEEDED WITHIN

46:01COMMUNITY. SO IF SOMEONE --

46:03THESE ARE GOING TO BE CIVILIANS.

46:05SO WILL IT BE STAFFED WITH

46:07INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE, LIKE,

46:10STAFFED WITH OFFICES OF

46:11COMMUNITY OFFICERS OR SOMEONE

46:13LIKE THAT? IF SOMEONE IS

46:16FLEEING A SITUATION AND THEY

46:17KNOW IT'S A DROP IN PLACE TO GET

46:19HELP. LE, TO DO YOU HAVE

46:22THE MEANS TO BE ABLE TO, YOU

46:25KNOW, PROTECT FOLKS IN THAT?

46:28>>I'M SAYING. YOU KNOW IT

46:31GETS HOT.

46:32>> CHAIR CHUGHTAI, COUNCIL

46:33MEMBER WARREN. I'LL INVITE MPD

46:35TO SPEAK TO THE OPERATIAL

46:37DETAILS OF THIS SERVICE.

46:44>> CHAIR, COUNCIL MEMBER WARREN.

46:47YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE

46:59OUR -- OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. I

47:01MOVED HER UPSTAIRS. WE HAVE TO

47:03PUT THEM IN SECURE FACILITIES.

47:04NOT FACILITIES BUT SPACE. SO

47:05WHEN THEY COME IN, THE PERSON

47:08CAN ACCESS IT. SO WE'LL HAVE

47:11THAT DISCUSSION. AND IT WAS A

47:13GREAT QUESTION. OTHER

47:19PRECINCTSES ARE PRETTY SECURE.

47:20WE HAVE DOWNTOWN AT 801 IN A

47:22SECURE SPOT,OO.

47:24>> I JUST, I MEAN, AND THANK YOU

49:07LINE ITEMS. IT ZEROS OUT THE

49:09COMPLETE SOUTH MINNEAPOL

50:11IS A PROJECT COORDINATOR THAT

51:03MPD, AGAIN, I MENTIONED THIS

51:06PROJECT COORDINATOR, AS WELL, WE

51:07HAVE AS A RESOURCE TO US. I

51:17>> AND HOW ABOUT THE COMMUNITY

51:19RESOURCE NAVIGATORS? IS THAT --

51:21ARE WE THINKING THAT WOULD BE

52:57FOR THIS. THIS IS ONE OF THE

53:09IMPORTANT CONVERSATIONS WE HEARD

53:11ON THE SOUTH SIDE COMMUNITY

53:12SAFETY CENTERS. AND HAVING THIS

53:14TYPE OF ACCESS NEARBY OFF OF

53:17TRANSIT, THAT'S A B DEAL. AND

53:18I JUST WANT TO ECHO HOW

53:22IMPORTANT NOT ONLY THE WORK OF

53:24THE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE NAVIGATORS

53:26IS, BUT ALL OF THE SAFETY PILOTS

53:27THAT WE HAVE GOING THERE. AND

53:29IT'S GOING TO BE A REALLY BIG,

53:31FULL REALIZATION OF WHAT IS IT

53:33MEANS TO HAVE NEIGHBORHOOD

53:36SAFETY IN ACTION. I FEEL LIKE

53:41I'VE THINKING ABOUT THIS FOR THE

53:42LAST THREE YEARS. AND HEARING

53:43FROM COMNITY MEMBERS ASKING

53:44WHEN IS THE SOUTH SIDE SAFETYCEE

53:50BOTHERED FINANCE AND PROPERTY

53:51SERVICES ABOUT IT. I HAV

53:52BOTHERED DIRECTOR HARRINGTON

53:53ABOUT IT. AND I JUST CAN'T WT

53:56FOR IT TO OPEN. AND I ALSO FEEL

53:58LIKE THI IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST

54:03THINGS OUR NEIGHBORHOOD SAFETY

54:07DEPARTMENT HAS BEEN WORKING

54:09TOWA SINCE IT WAS CREATED.

54:10I'M HERE TO SUPPORT IN ANY WAY

54:13POSSIBLE LEADING UP TO THE

54:33LOT. PEOPLE WILL SEE IF IT WILL

54:35SUCCEED OR FAIL. IT'LL SUCCEED

54:41IF WE ROW IN THE SAME

54:41DIRECTION.

54:42>> THANK YOU. I PUT MYSELF IN

54:43QUEUE TO THANK STAFF AND THE

54:45OFFICE OF COMMUNITY SAFETY AND

54:47THE NEIBORHOOD SAFETY

54:48DEPARTMENT FOR BRINGING THESE

54:50TWO ITEMS FORWARD. THIS IS

54:53IMPORTANT WORK. I KNOW

54:58COMMUNITY DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

54:58NAVIGATORSES ARE A CRITICAL PART

55:02OF OUR SAFETY ECOSYSTEM THAT

55:04STAR START IN THE

55:05NEIGHBORHOOD SAFETY DEPARTMENT

55:06AND HOUSED IN THE MINNEAPOLIS

55:07POLICE DEPARTMENT. DOMESTIC

55:10VIOLENCE NAVIGATORS SAVED

55:11PEOPLE'S LIVES AND HELP VICTIMS

55:12AND SURVIVORS IN NAVIGATING

55:15COMPLEX GOVERNMENT SYSTEMS IN

55:18ORDER TO CONTINUE LIVING THEIR

55:19LIVES ON THEIR OWN TERMS.

55:24WE'RE HIGHLIGHTING THAT HERE,

55:26UMM, IN THIS BUT PUBLIC SETTING.

55:28UMM, ALL I'LL JUST NOTE THAT

55:30DOMESTIC VIOLENCE NAVIGATORS ARE

55:34A SUCCESSFUL, MULTIYEAR

55:35INVESTMENT. IT'S NOT A PILOT

55:36PROGRAM. WE'RE USING PILOT

55:38PROGRAM MONEY TO PAY FOR A

55:41TESTED AND SUCCESSFUL PROGRAM.

55:43BECAUSE OF THE FINANCIAL

55:44CHALLENGES THAT WE ARE

55:45EXPERIENCING. AND SO USING

55:47MONEY THAT HAD BEEN DEDICATED

55:49YEARS AGO FOR PILOTING NEW

55:52SERVICES IN, AH, THE SOUTH

55:55MIEAPOLIS SAFETY CENTER

55:56INSTEAD FOR THIS PURPOSE.

55:58SOMETHING THAT I THINK IS REALLY

55:59IMPORTANT AND I AM HEARING THAT

56:02THIS BODY AGREES.

56:03SO WITH THAT, I WILL ASK FOR A

56:06MOTION TO APPROVE THESE TWO

56:08ITEMS.

1:21:22MORE INFORMATION WILL BE

1:21:23OVIDED IN THE SPECIAL TOPICS

1:21:24SECTION OF THE PRESENTATION.

1:21:30THE PURPOSE OF THE DATA

1:21:32MODERNIZATION PROJECT TO CREATE

1:21:34A SINGLE PLATFORM THAT

1:21:36CENTRALIZES INFORMATION WHILE

1:21:38PROTECTING PRIVACY WHILE MANY

1:21:39SYSTEMS CURRENTLY USE ACROSSED

1:21:41THE CITY HAVE OPERATIONAL

1:21:42REPORTING CAPABILITIES, DATA

1:21:45MODERNIZATION EXTENDS REPORTING

1:21:46FROM THE SINGLE SYSTEM TO ALL

1:21:47BUSINESS SYSTEMS FOR AN

1:21:49ENTERPRISE NEED SO THE

1:21:50ORGANIZATION WILL HAVE MORE

1:21:52CONTEXT TO MAKE BETTER INFORMED

1:21:54DECISIONS. BY MODERNIZING THE

1:21:55DATA PLATFORM, BETTER INFMED

1:21:57DECISIONS CAN BE MADE FASTER BY

1:22:00USING INFORMATION FOUND IN A

1:22:01CENTRALID LOCATION INSTEAD OF

1:22:03RELYING UPON INFORMATION THAT IS

1:22:04SILOED WITHIN INDIVIDUAL

1:22:07SYSTEMS. TO IDENTIFY MORE

1:22:15TRENDS WITH BACKGROUND AND DATA

1:22:18SERVICE AND RECEIVING MORE

1:22:19EXTENDED TRYING. THIS INITIALLY

1:22:20CAME OUT OF THE RECOMMENDATION

1:22:22OF THE SETTLEMT AGREEMENT DATA

1:22:24MANAGEMENT AND TECHNOLOGY

1:22:25ASSESSMENT. I.T.'S INTENTION TO

1:22:27BRING THE FUNCTIONALLY AND

1:22:28CAPABILITY TO THE ENTIRE CITY

1:22:31ENTERPRISE. IT WILL BEGIN BY

1:22:33USING 9-1-1 DATA TO BUILD OUT A

1:22:35PROOF OF CONCEPT THAT FOCUSES ON

1:22:37CALL BY. AIDING IN THE ANALYSIS

1:22:40AND MONITORING TO THE

1:22:43ALTERNATIVE RESPONSE. THIS WILL

1:22:44ALLOW THE CITY TO RESPOND TO

1:22:45QUESTIONS FROM THE PUBLIC WITH

1:22:49RELIABLE, EASILY ACCESSIBLE, AND

1:22:50CONSISTENT ANSWERS. IN

1:22:52ADDITION, UNNATUL LANGUAGE

1:22:54MODEL WILL BE IMPLEMENTING

1:22:56ALLOWING ANYONE TO ASK A

1:22:57QUESTION IN PLAIN LANGUAGE. FOR

1:22:58EXAMPLE, WONDERING HOW MANY

1:22:59CALLS WERE RECEIVED FOR A

1:23:01CERTAIN RESPONSE TIME IN A GIVEN

1:23:03NEIGHBORHOOD IN THE PAST

1:23:04WEEKEND. THE INDIVIDUAL CAN

1:23:05QUERY THE MODEL AND ASK THE

1:23:08QUESTION. THEY DON'T HAVE TO

1:23:09FRAME THE QUESTION IN A CERTAIN

1:23:10MANNER OR HAVE DEEP KNOWLEDGE IN

1:23:13INQUIIN QUIRING. JUST

1:23:17ASK THE QUESTION AS A NORMAL

1:23:18CONVERSATION. THEY GET AN

1:23:20ANSWER. ALL THE CAPABILITY WILL

1:23:22BE PROVIDEDY AN INFRASTRUCTURE

1:23:23THAT WILL HAVE IMPROVED PRIVACY

1:23:25AND SECURITY CONTROLS. THIS IS

1:23:53A NEW PROJECT, 2027 MARKS THE

1:23:54FIRST YEAR IN WHICH FUNDING IS

1:23:56BEING RECOMMENDED. $250,000 IS

1:23:59RECOMMENDED IN 2027 WITH

1:24:02CUMULATIVE TOTAL OF $945 MILLION

1:24:05PERHAPSED YEARS 2028 THROUGH

1:24:092031. IT MAKES WELL MAINTAIN

1:24:43PUBLISHE INFRASTRUCTURE

1:24:44ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT. THE

1:24:46GREENWAY SERVES THE SURROUNDING

1:24:47NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE WORKERS AND

1:24:49VISITORS WHO TRAVEL THROUGH

1:24:50DOWNTOWN EVIDENCE. MOST

1:25:12PRESSING CONCERN I RELIABLE

1:25:14LIGHTING. PEOPLE NEED

1:25:17DEPENDABLE LIGHTING TOAVIGATE

1:25:18THE GREENWAY, SEE WALKING

1:25:20SURFACES, AND OBSTACLES, AND USE

1:25:22THE CONNECTION SAFELY AFTER

1:25:23DARK. CURRENTLY THE LIGHTS ARE

1:25:25BEING KEPT ON AROUND THE CLOCK

1:25:27ADDS AN INTERIM OPERATING

1:25:28MEASURE. IT DOES NOT RESOLVE

1:25:30THE UNDERLYING ELECTRICAL

1:25:32PROBLEMS OR PROTECT AGAINST

1:25:33FUTURE OUTAGE. AS THE EQUIPMENT

1:25:36CONTINUES TO D DETERIORATE,

1:25:38THE RISK OF LOSING LIGHTING

1:25:41INCREASES. UNDERGROUND UTILITY

1:25:43EVALUATE AT E CENTER OF THE

1:25:45PROBLEMS. HOUSES THE ELECTRICAL

1:26:16CONTRIBUTING TO UNRELIABLE --

1:26:19THE FOUNTAIN SYSTEMS ARE O OUT

1:26:21OF SERVICE. IT REFLECTS

1:26:24INFRASTRUCTURE BREAKING DOWN AND

1:26:25BECOMING DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN.

1:26:28THE PROPOSED PROJECT

1:26:31REHABILITATE THE EXISTING

1:26:32FAILING SYSTEMS AND CONCLUDE

1:26:33WATER PROOFING THE VAULT AND

1:26:36REDUCING WATER INTRUSION.

1:26:53REPLACE EQUIPMENT AND ASSOCIATED

1:26:55COMPONENTS SUPPORTING RELIABLE

1:26:57LIGHTING AND SYSTEM OPERATION.

1:27:01REPLACING THE FAILING PUMPS AND

1:27:07INFRASTRUCTURE. ADDRESSING THE

1:27:09VAULT ENVIRONMENT IS ESSENTIAL.

1:27:11WE NEED TO CORRECT THE MOISTURE

1:27:13AND VENTILATION PROBLEMS AND

1:27:16REPLACEMENT CAN OPERATE RELIABLY

1:27:18AND ACHIEVE THE EXPECTED SERVICE

1:27:19LIFE. STAFF EVALUATED

1:27:21REHABILITAON AND RELOCATION

1:27:22OPTIONS AND DEVELOPED

1:27:24PRELIMINARY ESTIMATES. CURRENT

1:27:26PROPOSAL REQUESTS $1.5 MILLION

1:27:27TO RESTORE THE EXISTING VAULT

1:27:29AND SUPPORTING SYSTEMS WITH

1:27:30THE FINAL SCOPE AND COST REFINED

1:27:33THROUGH DESIGN AND PROCUREMENT.

1:27:35DEFERRING THIS WORK WOULD ALLOW

1:27:38CORROSION TOONTINUE. INCREASE

1:27:40MAINTENANCE DEMANDS AND RAISE

1:27:41THE RISK OF AN EMERGENCY FAILURE

1:27:43REQUIRING EVEN MORE COSTLY

1:27:45RESPONSE. THIS INVESTMENT WILL

1:27:50PRESERVE A VALUED PUBLIC

1:27:53CORRIDOR, RESTORE DEPENDABLE

1:27:54LIGHTING AND FOUNTAIN SYSTEMS,

1:27:56AND SUPPORT PLAN PREV

1:27:58PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE. ONE OF

1:27:59THE MOST DENSELY POPULATED

1:28:01NEIGHBORHOODS, HELPING ENSURE A

1:28:04SHARED PUBLIC SPACE WILL REMAIN

1:28:07WELCOMING AND SAFE FOR THOSE

1:28:08THATELY ON IT EVERY DAY.

1:28:13NOW WE GET TO THE SPECIAL

1:28:15TOPICS. SPECIAL TOPICS WILL

1:28:18FOCUS ON THE WORKDAY INVESTMENT

1:28:20AND IMPLEMENTATION. AS STATED

1:29:31IS A CITY-WIDE MODERNIZATION

1:29:34EFFORT THAT REPLACES MULTIPLE

1:29:35DISCONNECTED SYSTEMS WITH A

1:29:37SINGLE WORKDAY PLATFORM

1:29:39SUPPORTING HR, PAYROLL, AND

1:29:40BUSINESS PLATFORMS ACROSS THE

1:29:42CITY ENTERPRE INCLUDING THE

1:29:43PARK BOARD. OUR GOAL TO

1:29:45STRENGTHEN OUR WORK FORCE

1:29:45OPERATIONS AND ABILITY TO SERVE

1:29:48MINNEAPOLIS RESIDENTS. DEPICTED

1:29:50HERE ARE THE BENEFITS FOR

1:29:51EMPLOYEES, MANAGERS, AND THE

1:29:54ORGANIZATION. THE BENEFITS TO

1:29:55EMPLOYEES ARE ONE CENTRALIZED

1:29:57SYSTEM, SIMPLER PROCESSES, AND

1:29:59LESS TIME NAVIGATING DIFFERENT

1:30:01SYSTEMS. BENEFITS TO MANAGERS

1:30:02ARE BETTER VISIBILITY TO DATA,

1:30:04STREAMLINED TASKS, AND MORE TIME

1:30:07TO LEAD PEOPLE INSTEAD OF

1:30:08MANAGING PROCESSES. BENEFITS TO

1:30:09THE ORGANIZATION ITSELF ARE

1:30:11STANDARDIZED PROCESSES,

1:30:12DECISIONS ARE MADE WITH MORE

1:30:14RELIABLE ACCESSIBLE DATA, AND

1:30:16REDUCED DUPLICATION OF WORK IN

1:30:18DISCONNECTED SYSTEMS. THAT LAST

1:30:21POINT, REDUCED DUPLICATION, IS A

1:30:23FUNDAMENTAL ASPECT OF WHY WE

1:30:25HAVE EMBARKED UPON THIS PROJECT.

1:30:28WE'RE CONSOLIDATING MULTIPLE

1:30:30DISCONNECTED SYSTEMS INTO ONE.

1:30:31TODAY THE CITY RELIES ON HR AND

1:30:35FINANCE AND PAYROLL FUNCTIONS.

1:30:36BUT MANY RELATED ACTIVITIES ARE

1:30:38HANDLED IN SEPARATE SYSTEMS.

1:30:41RECRUITING, PERFORMANCE

1:30:42MAGEMENT, EMPLOYEE RECORDS,

1:30:44SURVEYS, ACCOUNTS PAYABLE, AND

1:30:46CASE MANEMENT ARE EXAMPLES OF

1:30:47FUNCTIONS THAT CURRENTLY SIT

1:30:49OUTSIDE OF COMMON. VEN OUR

1:30:52CORE ERP SYSTEM, IT'S COMPRISED

1:30:53TWO OF SYSTEMS. THEY HAVE

1:30:55SEPARATE USER INTER

1:31:00INTERFACES. IT CAN LEAD TO

1:31:02DOWNSTREAM PROEMS. AS A

1:31:04RESULT, CITY STAFF HAVE OFTEN

1:31:06HAD TO MOVE INFORMATION BETWEEN

1:31:08SYSTEMS, MAINTAIN INTEGRATIONS,

1:31:11POSSIBLY ENTER INFORMATION MORE

1:31:12THAN ONCE, RECONCILE DATA, AND

1:31:14RELY ON SEPARATE REPORTING TOOLS

1:31:16TO GET A COMPLETE PICTURE.

1:31:18WORKDAY GIVES THE CITY AN

1:31:19OPPORTUNITY TO SIMPLIFY THAT

1:31:21ENVIRONMENT. INSTEAD OF HR,

1:31:23PAYROLL, AND FINANCE OPERATING

1:31:25ACROSS MULTIPLE SYSTEMS, WORKDAY

1:31:26BRINGS THE FUNCTIONS TOGETHER ON

1:31:29ONE ATFORM. INFORMATION IMR

1:31:32ENTERED IN ONE PART CAN BE USED

1:31:34BY OTHERS WITHOUT HAVING TO BE

1:31:36REPEATEDLY TRANSFERRED OR

1:31:37REENTERED.FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN A

1:31:38PERSON IS HIRED, THAT

1:31:40INFORMATION CAN FLOW THROUGH HR,

1:31:43PAYROLL, ORGANIZATIONAL

1:31:44STRUCTURE, MANAGER ASSIGNMENTS,

1:31:46FINANCIAREPORTING AS PART OF

1:31:47THE SAME PROCESS. TODAY

1:31:48PORTIONS OF THAT WORK MAY

1:31:49INVOLVE SEVERAL SYSTEMS AND

1:31:51MANUAL STEPS. THE SAME APPLIES

1:31:54TO FINANCE. PURCHASING,

1:31:56APPROVALS, PAYMENTS, ACCOUNTING,

1:31:58AND REPORTING WILL BE MOR

1:31:59CLOSELY CONNECTED IN WORKDAY

1:32:01GIVING THE CITY BETTER

1:32:02VISIBILITY ON WHERE MONEY IS

1:32:04BEING SPENT, AND WHERE A

1:32:07TRANSACTION SITSN THE PROCESS.

1:32:08IT WILL ASSIST THE CITY IN

1:32:10SIMPLIFYING AND STREAMLINING THE

1:32:13WORK.

1:32:15WHILE I WON'T READ ALL THE

1:32:17OUTCOMES LISTED ON THE SLIDE,

1:32:19IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT MOST

1:32:20OF THE PROCESSES LISTED HERE

1:32:22HAVE MANUAL TIME CONSUMING AND

1:32:24COMPLEX TRADITIONAL COMPONENTS

1:32:25TO THEM IN THEIR CURRENT STATE.

1:32:28BY MODERNIZING CORE OPERATIONS,

1:32:31WE SIMPLIFY STANDARDIZE

1:32:33INTEGRATE CITY PROCESSES ACROSS

1:32:35ALL THREE AREAS.

1:41:30AFTERNOON, HOPULLY BRIEFLY, ON

1:41:32THE DEBT SERVICE BUDGET FOR 2027

1:41:33AND JUST A FEW OF THE HIGHLIGHTS

1:41:35OF THE CITY'S DEBT MANAGEMENT

1:41:38PROGRAM.

1:41:41BANKING INVESTMENTS IN DEBT IS

1:41:43THE TY'S TREASURY, WE MANAGE

1:41:45THE CITY'S FINANCIAL RESOURCES

1:41:47AND SERVICES WITHIN OUR SCOPE

1:41:50AND RESPONSIBILITY ARE THE

1:41:51BANKING SERVICES, FINANCIAL

1:41:54INSTITUTIONS, AND CONTROLLING

1:41:55BANK ACCOUNTS. OUR MERCHANT

1:41:58SERVICES, PAYMENT CARD

1:41:59PROCESSORS, AND THE PCI

1:42:02COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS THAT

1:42:02COME ALONG WITH THAT

1:42:04THAT

1:42:05WE MANAGE THE CITY CASH AND

1:42:07INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES AND OUR

1:42:08DEBT MANAGEMENT TEAM OVERSEES

1:42:10PROPERTY TAX SUPPORTED DEBT, THE

1:42:12ADMINISTRATION AND DEBT SERVICE

1:42:13PAYMENTS, AND THE ISSUANCE OF

1:42:15NEW GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS.

1:42:19THE OBJECTIVE OF THE DIVISION TO

1:42:20ENSURE THE CITY HAS RELIABLEFINT

1:42:23IN DEBT SOLUTIONS, INFORMATION,

1:42:25AND ACCESS TO CAPITAL MARKETS TO

1:42:27SUPPORT THE GOVERNMENT

1:42:30OPERATIONS,ITY PRIORITIES, AND

1:42:32MAKING SURE THAT THE CITY CAN

1:42:33MEET THE OBLIGATIONS.

1:42:39I'VE INCLUDED SOME

1:42:41FREQUENTLY-USED TERMS FOR

1:42:42REFERENCE. I WON'T GO THROUGH

1:42:44ALL OF THEM TODAY. PROBABLY THE

1:42:46MOST PERTINENT ONE IS THE BOND

1:42:48REDUCTION LEVY. THIS IS A LEVY

1:42:50WE CERTIFY EACH YEAR. THAT

1:42:51AMOUNT OF MONEY IS USED TO PAY

1:42:55PROPERTY TAX SUPPORTED BONDS.

1:42:58THE PRINCIPLE INTEREST DUE EACH

1:42:59YEAR. AND BELOW THAT ARE THE

1:43:01MAIN TYPES OF GENERAL OBLIGATION

1:43:03DEBT THAT THE CITY ISSUES AS

1:43:05PART OF THE CAPITAL

1:43:08FRASTRUCTURE. AND THEN THIS

1:43:11IS A VERY BRIEF OVERVIEW OF OUR

1:43:13TYPICAL DEBT ISSUANCE CYCLE.

1:43:16SUFFICE TO SAY, IT'S A LG

1:43:17PROCESS. IT BEGINS WITH THE

1:43:19CLIC PROCESS, AND THE LEADERSHIP

1:43:21OF THE BUDGET TEAM, ULTIMATELY

1:43:24RECOMMENDING PROJECTS TO CITY

1:43:25COCIL FOR APPROVAL AND THE

1:43:28BUDGET IN DECEMBER. ONCE THAT'S

1:43:30APPROVED, THE DEBT TEAM TAKES

1:43:31OVER FROM THERE. AND WE WORKTOH

1:43:36YEAR. CITY'S PRACTICES OVERHE

1:43:39LAST FEW YEARS IS ISSUE ONE

1:43:42LARGE VAOUS PURPOSE ISSUANCE

1:43:43EACH YEAR. WE'RE WORKING WITH

1:43:46PROJECT MANAGERS TO FIND THE

1:43:47CASH FLOW NEEDS AND CONSTRUCTION

1:43:49EXPENSES FOR EACH PROJECT IN THE

1:43:50COMING YEAR. WE PULL THAT

1:43:52TOGETHER, HAVE A SIZING FOR THE

1:43:54ISSUE, AND THEN WE PRESENT TO

1:43:56THE BOARD OF ESTIMATE AND

1:43:57TAXATION FOR APPROVAL TO ISSUE

1:43:59BONDS. ONCE THAT APPROVAL IS

1:44:02OBTAINED FROM THE BET, WE WORK

1:44:04WITH OUR BOND COUNCIL, MUNICIPAL

1:44:08ADVISOR RATING AGENCIES ON THE

1:44:11LEGAL ASPECTS OF THE LEGAL BOND

1:44:13ISSUE AND PREPARE OFFICIAL

1:44:14STATEMENTS AND ULTIMATELY MARKET

1:44:16AND SELL THE BONDS TO AN

1:44:17DERWRITER BASED ON THE LOWEST

1:44:19INTEREST COST TO THE CITY.

1:44:23AND THEN THIS IS A BRIEF LOOK

1:44:24BACK AT THE 2026 BOND ISSUANCE.

1:44:27IT WAS A LARGE ISSUE, LARGER

1:44:29THAN IN THE PAST. IT WAS BY

1:44:32DESIGN BUDGETED AND PLANNED FOR.

1:44:34BUT IN TOTAL WE FINANCED $25

1:44:371 MILLION OF NEW MONEY FOR

1:44:39PROJECT CONSTRUCTION COSTS. WE

1:44:42SOLD BONDS AT THE END OF AUGUST.

1:44:43HAD A 3.81% INTEREST COST TO

1:44:49THE CITY. PRETTY GOOD RESULT.

1:44:50IF YOU'RE AWARE OFHE MARKET,

1:44:52YIELDS HAVE CONTINUALLY BEEN

1:44:55CLIMBING THROUGHOUT Q3 INTO Q4.

1:44:57I THINK WAITING ANOTHER WEEK OR

1:44:59TWO WOULD HAVE A SIGNIFICANT

1:45:00COST TO THE CITY. THIS IS THE

1:45:02BREAKDOWN OF THE AMOUNTS BY

1:45:04PURPOSE THAT WERE SOLD. THIS IS

1:45:07A TYPICAL ALLOCATION FOR THE

1:45:10CITY. MAJORITY OF OUR BONDINGS

1:45:12WERE LEVY-FUNDED DEBT AND THEN

1:45:14LARGE PORTION, AS WELL,OR

1:45:17ENTERPRISE FUND PROJECTS AND

1:45:19TYPICALLY A SMALLER APPLICATION

1:45:20FOR TH ASSESSMENT PROJECTS.

1:45:22NOT INCLUDED HERE, BUT WE ALSO

1:45:24SOLD AROUND $33 MILLION OF BON

1:45:25FOR A CURRENT REFUNDING FOR A

1:45:27PORTION OF THE CITY'S 2018

1:45:30BONDS. WE EXPECT TO RECOGNIZE

1:45:32AROUND $6 MILLION IN INTEREST

1:45:34COST SAVINGS OVER THE NEXT 10

1:45:38YEARS. THIS IS JUST A BRIEF

1:45:42LOOK YEAR OVER YEAR AT OUR

1:45:44OUTSTANDING GENERAL OBLIGATION

1:45:45BALANCE. ENDED 2025 AROUND

1:45:48$851 MILLION OUTSTANDING. BY

1:45:50TYPE, WE EXPECTED THE END OF THE

1:45:53YEAR AROUND $980 MILLION.

1:45:54SLIGHTLY LESS THAN TT NUMBER,

1:45:56ACTUALLY, WHEN YOU TAKE INTO

1:45:58ACCOUNT THE REFUNDING. THAT

1:46:01MARK INCREASED OVER THE PAST

1:46:03YEARS. I'LL NOTE IT'S DN A

1:46:04LITTLE BIT FROM OUR OVERALL PEAK

1:46:07IN 2004 THE CITY HAD NEARLY

1:46:10$1.3 MILLION IN DEBT OUTST

1:46:13OUTSTANDING.

1:46:14THIS IS JUST THE SAME LOOK AT

1:46:16THE YEAR-END BALANCES ON A

1:46:19LONGER TERM HORIZON GOING BACK

1:46:21TO 20 2016. SO THE 10-YEAR

1:46:24TREND. PHEMENAL INCREASES

1:46:25YEAR OVER YEAR. AND YOU CAN SEE

1:46:27IN 26 WE'LL HAVE THAT BIGGER

1:46:29INCREASE. ONE THING I'LL NOTE

1:46:32ARE OVERALL BALANCES INCREASED

1:46:34ABOUT 30% OVER THE PAST DECADE.

1:46:36CONSUMER PRICE INDEX SO THAT THE

1:46:38CORE MEASURE OF INFLATION IS

1:46:39INCREASED NEARLY 38 PERCENT IN

1:46:41THAT PSALM SAME TIME.

1:46:47YEAR END BALANCES REMAIN STABLE

1:46:49AND SLIGHTLY DECLINING.

1:46:52AND THIS IS JUST A QUICK LOOK AT

1:46:56OUR 2027 BUDGETED DEBT

1:46:57AUTHORIZATION AMOUNTS BY TYPE. Y

1:47:02NUMBER THAT COULD CHANGE. JUS

1:47:03TO GIVE YOU AN OVERVIEW OF THE

1:47:05AMOUNTS THAT ARE BEING BUDGETED

1:47:08FOR AUTHORIZATION. I'LL POINT

1:47:09OUT THIS IS THE AUTHORIZED

1:47:11AMOUNTS THAT WOD BE ELIGIBLE

1:47:13FOR BOND FINANCING. THE CITY

1:47:14TENDS TO ACTUALLY ONLY ISSUE

1:47:16AROUND 65% OF THAT AUTHORIZED

1:47:18AMOUNT FOR VARIOUS REASONS.

1:47:21TYPICALLY IT'S JUST BECAUSE

1:47:22PROJECTS ARE NOT READY TO INCUR

1:47:25THE EXPENSES YET. WE OFTEN WILL

1:47:26BOND FOR EXPENSES, WE EXPECT IN

1:47:28THE NEXT 12 TO 18 MONTHS.

1:47:30ANYTHING BEYOND THAT, WE PLAN ON

1:47:33BONDING FOR INUTURE YEARS.

1:47:38AND THIS IS OUR 2027 DEBT

1:47:40SERVICE EXPENSE BUDGET. THIS IS

1:47:42THE PRINCIPLE AND INTEREST

1:47:43COMING DUE NEXT YEAR. BUDGET

1:47:46TENDTO BE FAIRLY ACCURATE

1:47:49FIGURE. I KNOW A LOT OF DEBT

1:47:51SERVICE-MEMBERS ARE ALREADY

1:47:53SCHEDULED AND MAKE SOME

1:47:54PROJECTIONS FOR THE 2027 ISSUE

1:47:59ON 3/4 AND $152 MILLION TOWARD

1:48:04PAYING DOWN PRINCIPLE AND ALMOST

1:48:06ONE QUARTER IS INTEREST PAYMENTS

1:48:08COMING DUE.

1:48:12AND THEN, FINALLY, JUST A LOOK

1:48:14AT THE CITY'S ANNUALOND

1:48:17REDEMPTION LEVY. HISTORICAL

1:48:18TREND AND OUR PROJECTIONS OVER

1:48:19THE NEXT FEW YEARS. THE GOAL IS

1:48:21TYPICALLY BEEN FOR LONG TIME

1:48:24AROUND 5% LEVY GROWTH FOR BOND

1:48:26REDEMPTION. WE TYPICALLY HAVE

1:48:28HIT THAT. WE DO HAVE SOME

1:48:29FLEXIBILITY IN '25 AND '26. WE

1:48:32WERE ABLE TO WORK WITHIN ZERO

1:48:34PERCENT INCREASE IN OUR

1:48:37REDEMPTION. WE'RE EXPECTING THE

1:48:38NEED TO CONTINUE THAT 5% GROWTH

1:48:41ANNUALLY IN THEOMING YEARS.

1:48:46THAT'S WHAT I HAVE IF TODAY.

1:48:48I'LL STAND FOR QUESTIONS, IF

1:48:50THE ARE ANY.

1:48:52>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I'LL

1:48:56SEE IF THERE ARE OVERARCHING

1:48:59QUESTIONS A ABOUT THE CAPITAL

1:49:00BUDGET OR WHAT HAS BEEN

1:49:01PRESENTED SO FAR. COUNCIL

1:49:06PRESIDENT PAYNE.

1:49:06>> THANK YOU, CHAIR CGHTAI. I

1:49:08WAS CURIOUS IF YOU'D BE ABLE TO

1:49:09SHARE SOME HIGH-LEVEL IMPACTS.

1:49:11IF WE WERE TO LOSE OUR AAA BOND

1:49:14RATING. AND HOW YOU MIGHT

1:49:17ADJUST OR WE WOULD ADJUST OUR

1:49:19APPROACH TO THAT DEBT

1:49:21FINANCING.

1:49:21>> CHAIR CHUGHTAI, YEAH, HOW WE

1:49:30WOULD ADDRESS IT. ULTIMATELY,

1:49:32WE KNOW THE INTEREST COSTS TO

1:49:34THE CITY WOMANED INCREASE. IT'S

1:49:38HARD TO SAY HOW MUCH. IT'S NOT

1:49:40NECESSARILY DOLLAR-FOR-DOLLAR

1:49:43SCALE. IF THAT MAKES SENSE.

1:49:44THERE'S A LOT THAT GS INTO

1:49:46INTEREST RATES. ULTIMATELY IT

1:49:50WILL DEPEND ON THE PREVAILING

1:49:51MARKET AT THE TIME WE ISSUE

1:49:53BOND IT'S WHAT WE PAY. IT'S

1:49:55HARD TO SAY WITH ANY CERTAINTY

1:49:57HOW WE LOOK IN THE FUTURE.

1:49:59RIGHT NOW, YOU KNOW, BETWEEN

1:50:02AAA-RATED BO AND AA-RATED BOND

1:50:04IS PRETTY NARROW. 5 TO 10 BASIS

1:50:06POINTS AT 150 TO $200 MILLION

1:50:09YOU KNOW, IT ADDS UP OVER A

1:50:1120-YEAR BOND ISSUE. BUT I THINK

1:50:14THE ULTIMATELY HOW WE WOULD

1:50:16ADDRESS IT, YOU KNOW, WE STILL

1:50:17MAKE OUR BEST PRESENTATION TO

1:50:18THE RATING AGENCIES, AND MARKET

1:50:21THE BONDS AS BEST WE CAN TO

1:50:24UNDERWRITERS. WE KNOW THERE

1:50:24WOULD BE AN INCREASED COST, YOU

1:50:27KNOW, IT'S NOT AN EXORBITANT

1:50:31AMOUNT. IT'S VERY SLIDING

1:50:33SCALE, I GUESS YOU WOULD SAY,

1:50:35BETWEEN THE DIFFERENT RATINGS.

1:50:52>> WOULD IT BE ACCATE TO SAY

1:50:55THAT IF THAT WERE TO HAPPEN, OUR

1:50:58PRIMARY CHOICES WOULD BE TO

1:51:02EITHER FD LESS WORK IN OUR

1:51:05CAPITAL PLAN OR JUST TO ACCEPT A

1:51:07HIGHER AMOUNT OFEVY TO PAY THE

1:51:11DEBT SERVICE FOR THE SAME

1:51:13AMOUNT?

1:51:14>> COUNCIL MEMBER PAYNE, YES.

1:51:16UMM, YEAH. THOSE ARE ARE REALLY

1:51:19THE TWO CHOICES. IF WE'RE

1:51:20TRYING TO LIMIT OUR DEBT SERVICE

1:51:23CO, WE NEED TO LOWER THE

1:51:25PRINCIPLE AMOUNT TO ACCOUNT FOR

1:51:27THE INCREASED INTEST COST OR

1:51:29OBLIGATE OURSELVES TO LEVYING

1:51:31ADDITIONAL DOLLARS TO COVER

1:51:33THAT.

1:51:47>> THAT'S ULTIMATELY A JUDGMENT

1:51:49CALL. WLD THAT JUDGMENT BE

1:51:52COUNCIL ACTION FOR CHANGINGUR

1:51:54POLICY? WOULD IT BE AN ACTION

1:51:55OF THE BET? WOULD IT BE AN

1:51:58ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION IF WE WERE

1:51:59TO MAKE THAT CHOICE OF LET'S

1:52:00EITHER DO LOWER AMOUNTS OF

1:52:04CAPITAL WORK OR ACCEPT A HIGHER

1:52:07DEBT BURDEN?

1:52:11>> I GUESS MY BEST GUESS TO

1:52:14THAT, AND I WOULD CERTAINLY BE

1:52:16CORRECTED. IT WOULD BE A LITTLE

1:52:17BIT OF BOTH. SINCE COUNCIL

1:52:20APPROVES THE ORGANIZATION. SO

1:52:22IT CAN BE BONDED FOR. AND BE

1:52:25TEVT AUTHORIZES THE ALITY

1:52:27TO SELL THE BONDS. I THINK IT

1:52:30WOMA A RECOMMENDATION BASED

1:52:33ON THE MARKETS AT THE TIME AND

1:52:35ULTIMATELY WHAT WE SELL.

1:52:41>> SUPER HELPFUL. THANK YOU.

1:52:43>> NEXT COUNCIL MEMBER

1:52:45STEVENSON.

1:52:45>> THANK YOU. LOOKING AT SLIDE

1:52:5016, THIS IS 2027 DEBT SERVICE

1:52:54EXPENSE BUDGET. I WAS JUST A

1:52:56LITTLE SURPRISED TO SEE THE

1:52:59PERCENTAGE OF TOTAL DEBT TO

1:53:03PRINCIPLE, 74, BASICALLY 75% AND

1:53:04THEN INTEREST 25%. SEEMS LIKE A

1:53:06HIGH PERCENTAGE OF INTEREST. AM

1:53:09I JUST NOT FAMILIAR WITH DEBT AT

1:53:11THIS LEVEL? OR WT'S GOING ON

1:53:15THERE?

1:53:16>> CHAIR CHUGHTAI, COUNCIL

1:53:17MEMBER STEVENSON. THIS IS JUST

1:53:19THE PROPORTION OF THE DEBT

1:53:20SERVICE BUDGET GOING TO

1:53:21INTEREST. SO I GUESS JUST TO

1:53:25CLARIFY, 25% INTEREST RATE WE'RE

1:53:27PAYING. IT' THE OVERALL BUDGET

1:53:29GOES TO 25% OF THAT IS FOR

1:53:30INTEREST EXPENSES. AND THAT IS

1:53:34ALL OF OUR OUTSTANDING DEBTS.

1:55:01PUBLIC ART ON CITY PROPERTY,

1:55:05WHICH MALT L ULTIMATELY

1:55:08GOES TO MINNEAPOLIS ARTS

1:55:09COMMISSION. WE CURRENTLY HAVE

1:55:1115 CURRENT COMMISSIONS UNDERWAY.

1:55:13INVOLVING 15 OUT OF ARTISTS AND

1:55:1515 OUT OF 16 ARE THE BIOPC. WE

1:55:17HAVE PROJECT DISTRIBUTED ACROSS

1:55:19THE CITY AND IN MULTIPLE CITY

1:55:21WARDS. YOU'LL SEE A MAP IN AN

1:55:23UPCOMING SLIDE.

1:55:26SO AS I SAID, THESE RESULTS IN

1:55:29THREE TO FOUR NEW PROJECTS A

1:55:31YEAR. WE ALSO HAVE, AS YOU'LL

1:55:33SEE, AN ADDITIONAL COMMISSIONS

1:55:36REQUESTED FOR THE UPPER HARBOR

1:55:38PROGRAM, AND I'LL GONTO WHY IN

1:55:40MORE DETAIL. WE WORK

1:55:42COLLABORATIVELY A LOT WITH OUR

1:55:46PARTNERS PUBLIC WORKS AND THE

1:55:47PARK BOARD. AS WELLS THE

1:55:49MUNICIPAL BUILDING COMMISSION

1:55:51AND PROPERTY SERVICES. OUR ART

1:55:55COLLECTION GROWS BY

1:55:57APPROXIMATELY 3% A YEAR. AND

1:55:58LIKE EVERYONE ELSE IN THE

1:55:59CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM,WE'G

1:56:05MATERIAL COSTS, AS WELL AS A

1:56:06GREATER DEMAND FOR COMMUNITY

1:56:07ENGAGEMENT IN THE CITY. OUR

1:56:10MAINTENANCE FUNDING HAS

1:56:11DECREASED A BIT OVER THE LAST

1:56:13FIVE YEARS. EVEN THOUGH OUR

1:56:14COLLECTION IS GROWING.

1:56:18SOHERE ARE TWO PROJECTS IN THE

1:56:21CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM.

1:56:22ART AND PUBLIC PLACES OR ART

1:56:25101. ART IN PUBLIC PLACES IS

1:56:28FUNDED BY CITY ORDINANCE,

1:56:31ADOPTED IN 2015. AT A MINIMUM

1:56:36EQUIVALENT OF 1.5% OF THE NET

1:56:38DEBT BOND. AND UPPER HARBOR IS

1:56:40A SPECIAL REQUEST WE MADE

1:56:41BECAUSE THIS IS A VERY LARGE

1:56:44SITE IN THE CITY UNDERGOING

1:56:47MANY, MANY, MANY CHANGES. AND A

1:56:50SITE THAT HAS BEEN PRIMARILY

1:56:53INDUSTRIAL, AND HAS NOT SERVED

1:56:55THE NORTH SIDE COMMUNITY AS MUCH

1:56:56AS IT COULD IN THE PAST.

1:57:00SO THIS IS THEAP OF OUR

1:57:03CURRENT PROJECTS, WHICH ARE IN

1:57:05BLUE, AS WELL AS GRAY IS WHERE

1:57:07WE HAVE ARTWORKS EXISTING

1:57:09ARTWORKS. PROJECTS TAKE

1:57:12APPROXIMATELY THREE TO FOUR

1:57:13YEARS TO IMPLEMENT, INCLUDING

1:57:15ARTIST SELECTION, ENGAGEMENT,

1:57:17DESIGN DEVELOPMENT, PLANNING,

1:57:19MAINTENANCE PLANNING,

1:57:21FABRICATION, AND INSTALLATION.

1:57:22ALSO, I WANT TO NOTE, WE DO A

1:57:24LOT OF MAINTENANCE PLANNING FOR

1:57:27EACH ARTWORK. EVERY ARTWORK

1:57:32DESIGN IS REVIEW BY AN ART

1:57:34COERVATOR WHO GIVES US IT

1:57:36ESTIMATE WHAT IT COSTS TO

1:57:37MAINTAIN THE ARTWORK OVER TIME.

1:57:38WE WORK WITH ARTISTS TO DEVELOP

1:57:41DESIGNS THAT WE CAN SUSTAIN AND

1:57:45MAIN MODIFICATIONS IN THEIR

1:57:45DESIGNS, IF NDED.

1:57:49SO, I WANT TO NOTE THAT WE

1:57:51GENERAY DO

1:57:59>> ART AND PUBLIC PCES PROGRAM

1:58:02ANNUALLY WHERE WE TAKE A PROGRAM

1:58:05AND DO A MAJOR ERHAUL. WE HAVE

1:58:10A COLLECTION THAT GOES BACK TO

1:58:121968. YOU CAN SEE THE PROJECTED

1:58:15BUDGET BELOW. THIS IS FINANCE

1:58:17ESTIMATE BASED ON THE EQUIVALENT

1:58:24OF 1.5% OF THE NET DEBT BOND.

1:58:28UPPER HARBOR HAS TWO IMPORTANT

1:58:36GOALS. ONE IS A PLACE FOR

1:58:38IDENTITY. ALSO TO UPLIFT AND

1:58:41AMPLIFY THE UNTOLD HISTORIES OF

1:58:42RESIDENTS FRO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

1:58:45THIS PROJECT IS OVER THREE

1:58:49YEARS, INCLUDING 2026, 2027, AND

1:58:522028. OUR ESTIMATED COMPLETION

1:58:53IS 2031. AND WE ANTICIPATE

1:58:55THROUGH THIS FUNDING THAT WE'LL

1:58:56ABLE TO DO FOUR TO FIVE NEW

1:58:59PERMANENT PUBLIC ARTS PROJECTS

1:59:01WHICH WILL SUPPORT SIX TO SEVEN

1:59:03ARTISTS. THAT'S THE ENDF MY

1:59:05PRESENTATION. THIS IS A LINK TO

1:59:08OUR INTERACTIVE PUBLIC MAP WHERE

1:59:09WE HAVE EIGHT TOURS OF PUBLIC

1:59:11ART THROUGHOUT THE CITY. I'LL

1:59:12STAND FOR QUESTIONS.

1:59:14>> THANK YOU. ARE THERE ANY

1:59:15QUESTIONS RELATED TO THE ARTS

1:59:17D CULTURAL AFFAIRS CAPITAL

1:59:17BUDGET? I'M NOT SEEING ANY.

1:59:26WE'RE READY TO CONTINUE TO THE

1:59:27NEXT PRESENTER.

1:59:36>> GOOD AFTERNOON, CHAIR,

1:59:38MEMBERS OF THE MINNEAPOLIS

1:59:39BUDGET COMMITTEE. MY NAME IS

1:59:41ERIN DELANEY AND I'M THE

1:59:44DIRECTOR OF THE MUNICIPAL

1:59:45BUILDING COMMISSION, AND I'M

1:59:46PLEASED TO TALK WH YOU TODAY

1:59:48JUST BRIEFLY ABOUT THE MAYOR'S

1:59:52RECOMMENDED 2027 CAPITAL PROJECT

1:59:53FUNDING. WE, THE MBC IS CHARGED

2:00:00WITH THE OPERATIONS,

2:00:03MAINTENANCE, AND CAPITAL PROJE

2:00:04MANAGEMENT OF THE BUILDING.

2:00:06WE'RE ALSO IN CHARGE OF SECURITY

2:00:07IN THE FACILITY. WE ARE A SMALL

2:00:11GROUP OF PEOPLE. A SMALL

2:00:13DEPARTMENT. WE HAVE 48 TOTAL

2:00:15STAFF. AND THE REQUEST BEFORE

2:00:16YOU TODAY I FOR THREE -- THE

2:00:18FUNDING FOR THREE CAPITAL

2:00:20PROJECTS. THE REQUESTS FOR 2027

2:00:22IS JUST OVER $1 MILLION. WE

2:00:27CURRENTLY HAD 10 ACTIVE CAPITAL

2:00:29PROJECTS THROUGHOUT THE

2:00:30BUILDING, WHICH I ASSUME A LOT

2:00:31OF YOU HAVE SEEN. BUT AGAIN, THE

2:00:35REQUEST FOR 2027 IS FOR THREE

2:00:37PROJECTS. JUST KIND OF A BRIEF

2:00:38OVERVIEW. AND AGAIN, A REMINDER

2:00:40THAT ALL OF OUR CAPITAL REQUESTS

2:00:43FOR FUNDING ARE SPLIT 50/50 WITH

2:00:47HENNEPIN COUNTY. THIS IS OUR

2:00:48JOINT REQUEST FOR 2027. JUST

2:00:50OVER $2 LLION. AND AGAIN, IT

2:00:53FALLS TO JUST OVER $1 MILLION

2:00:55FOR THI NEXT YEAR.

2:00:57THE FIRST PROJECT IS HEAT

2:00:59EXCHANGERS ANDUMP REPLACEMENT.

2:01:01THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING

2:01:02PROJECT. YOU CAN SEE THISS A

2:01:04SMALL REQUEST TO JUST GET US

2:01:06INTO THE FINISH LINE FOR NEXT

2:01:08YEAR. ESSENTIALLY, THIS

2:01:09EQUIPMENT LOCATED IN THE ATTIC

2:01:11OF CITY HALLS OUTDATED AND

2:01:13BEYOND LIFE EXPECTANCY. JUST

2:01:16BRIEFLY, HOW WE HEAT THE

2:01:19BUILDING. STEAM IS BROUGHT INTO

2:01:20THE BUILDING PUSH UP TO THE

2:01:22ATTIC LEVEL. AND THESE

2:01:24EXCHANGERS AND PUMPS CONVERT IT

2:01:26INTO HOT WATER. VERY HOT WATER.

2:01:27WHICH IS USED THEN TO HEATHE

2:01:29ENTIRE FACILITY. THE NEXT

2:01:33PROJECT IS THE ELECTRICAL BUS

2:01:37DUCTS REPLACEMENT. WE HAVE JUST

2:01:39OVER 1500 FEET OF REMAINING

2:01:42OUTDATED ELECTRICAL BUS DUCTS

2:01:45THAT WE WILL BE EXCHANGING F A

2:01:47MORE RELIABLE CONDUIT SYSTEM.

2:01:52AND AGAIN, THE 1500 FEET THAT'S

2:01:54REMAINING IS PRIMARILY IN THE

2:01:56BASEMENT AND SUB-BASEMENT OF THE

2:01:59BUILDING. ONE THING I WANT TO

2:02:00NOTE IS WHEN WE DID ALL THIS

2:02:03REMODELINGND CONSTRUCTION WORK

2:02:04ON THE 3RD AND M FLOORS, WE

2:02:06STARTED THAT PROJECT OF

2:02:08REPLACING THESE BUS DUCTS DURING

2:02:09THAT TIME. THE NEXT PROJECT IS

2:02:15THE 5th STREET SIDEWALK

2:02:16RENSTRUCTION. AS YOU CAN SEE,

2:02:19THE SIDEWALK ON 5th STREETUT

2:02:22IN FRONT OF CITY HALL IS

2:02:24DETERIORATING. HAS BEEN FOR

2:02:25SERAL YEARS. THIS PROJECT

2:02:26WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO QUEUE UP,

2:02:27AND NOW IS THE TIME. WE DID SOME

2:02:31INITIAL DESIGN WORK AND HAVE

2:02:32DECIDED TO SPLIT THE WORK INTO

2:02:34TWO PHASES. WE'LL START ON THE

2:02:363RD AVENUE TO ABOUT THE MIDDLE

2:02:38OF 5th STREET ON THE RIGHT SIDE,

2:02:40IF YOU WILL, AS YOU COME OUT OF

2:02:41THE BUILDING, TO REPAIR THE

2:02:44SIDEWALK. AND ALMOST AS MORE

2:02:46IMPORTANTLY IS UNDERNEATH THE

2:02:48WATER INFILTRATION HAS BEEN

2:02:52IMPACTING THE BASEMENT AND

2:02:53SUBBASEMENT OF THE BUILDING TO

2:02:54THE POINT WHERE IT'S CAUSED SOME

2:02:57DAMAGE TO OUR FOUNDATION. SO OUR

2:03:02REQUEST FOR 2027 IS

2:03:04$1.5 MILLION. WE JUST RECENTLY

2:03:06RECEIVED SOME INITIAL COST

2:03:07ESTIMATES THAT ARE BRINGING THIS

2:03:09PROJECT IN TO RIGHT ABOUT

2:03:12$2.5 MILLION TO $3 MILLION. AND

2:03:14THAT'S VERY RECENT. THIS IS A

2:03:22REQUEST OUT FOR 2030 FOR

2:03:26ELEVATOR. CITY HALL DOES NOT

2:03:28HAVE A FREIGHT ELEVATOR. WE JUST

2:03:30HAVE A SERVICE ELEVATOR. AND THE

2:03:34POINT BETWEEN THOSE TWO

2:03:36DESIGNATION IS THE WEIT

2:03:38RESTRICTION IS PRETTY

2:03:39SUBSTANTIAL. WE JUST ARE NOT

2:03:40ABLE TO USE THAT ELEVAR LIKE

2:03:42WE WOULD FULLY BE ABLE TO USE A

2:03:44FREIGHT ELEVATOR. WHERE THIS

2:03:46IMPACTS ALL OF US IS IT COSTS ♪

2:03:48MORE FOR CONTRACTORS TO COME

2:03:49INTO THE BUILDING TO DO THE WORK

2:03:51BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO FIND

2:03:53ALTERNATIVE METHODS TO BRING IN

2:03:54EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES, AND TO

2:03:56GET THEM OUT OF THE BUILDING AS

2:03:58WELL BECAUSE THEY CAN'T ALWAYS

2:03:59USE OUR ELEVATOR. SO AGAIN, THIS

2:04:01IS OUT IN FUNDING IN THE YEAR

2:04:032030. OUR NEXT REQUEST FOR 2028

2:04:10IS SOME DESIGN MONEY FOR THE ST

2:04:13REPLACEMENT. THIS SYSTEM IS

2:04:14LOCATED IN THE BASEMENT AND

2:04:17SUB-BASEMENT OF CITY HALL. AND

2:04:19IT'S AOMPLEMENT TO THE

2:04:22EQUIPMENT UP IN THEATTIC. THIS

2:04:24IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE OTHER

2:04:27ATTIC SYSTEM BECAUSE THIS

2:04:30EQUIPMENT IS NEWER AND WASN'T

2:04:30YET -- WE DIDN'T FEEL IT SHOULD

2:04:32HAVE BEEN REPLACED AS QUICKLY OR

2:04:34AS SOON AS THE EQUIPMENT IN THE

2:04:37ATTIC. ALSO, THIS SYSTEM IS

2:04:40SPECIFICALLY GEARED TOWARD THE

2:04:41DOMESTIC WER THAT'S IN THE

2:04:42BUILDING. AND AGAIN, THIS

2:04:43REQUEST IS A FEW YEARS OUT WITH

2:04:45AN INITIAL DESIGN REQUEST. AND

2:04:53THE LAST REQUEST FOR 2028 IS THE

2:04:56FLOORING REPAIR THROUGHOUT THE

2:04:58BUILDING. YOU KNOW, THE

2:04:59BEAUTIFUL TILE WORK AND

2:05:02STAIRCASES, MARBLE STAIRCASES T

2:05:04BEGINNING OF THE BUILDING, OVER

2:05:05100 YEARS. WE NEED TO LOOK AT

2:05:07MORE OF A COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH

2:05:09TO REPAIR AND REPLACE THOSE

2:05:11PIECES. RIGHTOW WE JUST DO IT

2:05:13AS NEEDED. AND THIS WE FEEL WILL

2:05:17BE MUCH MORE EFFICIENT. AND

2:05:19ANOTHER NOTE IS WE WANT TO

2:05:20REALLY LOOK AT THE FLOORS OF THE

2:05:23ELEVATORS, TOO, BECAUSE WEAVE

2:05:24NOT REPLACED ANY OF THAT

2:05:26FLOORING. AGAIN,HAT'S OUT IN

2:05:302028. THAT'S MY PRESENTATION AT

2:05:32THIS TIME. I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER

2:05:33ANY QUESTIONS.

2:05:38>> ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS

2:05:40RELATED TO THE MUNICIPAL

2:05:41BUILDIS COMMISSION CAPITAL

2:05:42BUDGET? I'LL RECOGNIZEOUNCIL

2:05:43MEMBER PALMISANO.

2:05:44>> THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. I

2:05:47GUESS I DON'T FLY APPRECIATE

2:05:50WHY THE SIDEWALK ON 5th STREET

2:05:51HAS GOTTEN TO THE POINT THAT IT

2:05:54HAS. IT'S IN RIDICULOUSLY BAD

2:05:57SHAPE. THAT'S THEIGHT RAIL

2:05:58SIDE OF THE BUILDING. I HAVE FOR

2:06:01YEARS WATCHED PEOPLE WALK

2:06:03GINGERLY OR FRANKLY, STUMBLE, AS

2:06:06THEY G OVER THAT SIDEWALK. WE

2:06:09EXPECT OUR RESIDENTS TO KEEP

2:06:10THEIR SIDEWALKS INOOD REPAIR,

2:06:12AND WE ASSESS THEM WHEN THEY

2:06:13DON'T. AND SO I THINK I GATHER

2:06:16FROM YOUR SLIDE THAT THERE'S

2:06:18SOME KIND OF INFRASTRUCTURE WORK

2:06:23WE WOULD EVEN NEEDHAT'S QUITE

2:06:25EXPENSIVE. THAT WE WOULD EVEN

2:06:28NEED TOEBUILD THAT SIDEWALK OR

2:06:31PROVIDE UNDERNEATH FOUNDATIONN

2:06:32WHICH TO POUR THE SIDEWALK. I'M

2:06:35VERY GLAD THIS IS GETTING

2:06:36ADDRESSED. I'M N SURE WHY IT'S

2:06:38GOING TO COST $2.5 MILLION TO

2:06:40$3 MILLION.

2:06:40>> COUNCIL MEMBER, THROUGH THE

2:06:42CHAIR, THANK YOU FOR YOUR

2:06:44QUESTIONS. A LOT OF THAT EXPENSE

2:06:45RELATED TO REPLACING THE

2:06:46SIDEWALK IS EXACTLY AS YOU'VE

2:06:49IDENTIFIEDIT'S THE

2:06:50INFRASTRUCTURE DOWN BELOW, AND

2:06:51THE IMPACT THAT IT'S HAVING ON

2:06:52THE BUILDING FOUNDATION. WE

2:07:01CONQUER THAT THE SIDEWALK IS NOT

2:07:02IN GOOD SHAPE AND WE HAVE DONE

2:07:04MINOR REPAIRS, AS WE CAN, AND

2:07:08TEMPORARY PATCHES OF CEMENT IN

2:07:09THE SIDEWALK. BUT IN ORDER TO

2:07:11REALLY GET IT ADDRESSED, WE NEED

2:07:12TO WORK ON TO THE BOTTOM OF THE

2:07:15DOWN IN THE FOUNDATION,

2:07:19LIRALLY. IT MOVES INTO THE

2:07:21SUBBASEMENT AND BASEMENT IN THE

2:07:23BUILDING. THE CORROSION AND

2:07:24INFRASTRUCTURE.

2:07:24>> SO UNDERNEATH THE SIDEWALK

2:07:26THAT'S WELL OUTSIDE OUR

2:07:27BUILDING, YOU'RE SING THAT'S

2:07:30STILL LIKE SOME SORT OF

2:07:32UNDERGROUND SOME PART OF CITY

2:07:34HALL? THERE'S LIKE SOME SORT OF

2:07:36CRAWL SPACE OR SOMETHING IN

2:07:38THERE?

2:07:38>> COUNCIL MEMBER, THROUGH THE

2:07:40CHAIR, YES, THERE IS.

2:07:42ABSOLUTELY. FRANKLY, IT'S

2:07:459-FEET, 10-FEET HIGH. IT'S THE

2:07:47FORMER PROPERTY AND EVIDENCE

2:07:48ROOM THAT WAS IN CITY HALL. AND

2:07:50I WANTED TO COMMENT ON ANOTHER

2:07:54REASON THIS PROLONGED TIMEFRAME

2:07:55IS. AS WE WERE TALKING ABOUT

2:07:57THIS EVEN BEFORE LIGHT RAIL WAS

2:08:01BEING IMAGINED AND CONSTRUCTED,

2:08:06WHICH WE BELIEVE HAS LED TO

2:08:08BIGGER PROBLEMS WITH THE QUALITY

2:08:09OF THE SIDEWALK WITH ALL THAT

2:08:11WORK GOING ON WITH LIGHT RAIL.

2:08:13NOW, THEY'RE PARTNERS WITH US IN

2:08:15THIS BUDGET. BUT IT IS METRO

2:08:18TRANSIT, THE CITOF

2:08:19MINNEAPOLIS, THE MBC ARE ALL

2:08:21PARTNERS IN THIS, AS WELL AS

2:08:27THERE ARE SOME U.S. WEST WORK

2:12:15PRIORITIZES THE HIGHEST

2:12:18STANDARDS OF COMMUNITY SAFETY

2:12:18AND WELLBEING. THIS GRAPHIC

2:12:26IDENTIFIES THE FACILITIES WITHIN

2:12:27OUR PORTFOLIO BY AGE. YOU'LL SEE

2:12:31THAT WE OWN AND OPERATE

2:12:34FACILITIES WHIN A WIDE RANGE

2:12:37OF AGE. 50% OF OUR FACILITIES

2:12:41ARE WITHIN WHAT I CALL A

2:12:43CRITICAL TIMEFRAME. THAT'S WHEN

2:12:46OUR BUILDING INFRASTRUCTURE SUCH

2:12:47AS HVAC, ROOFING, PLUMBING,

2:12:52ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS, BECOME

2:12:53OBSOLETE. THIS CRITICAL

2:12:56TIMEFRAME IS IMPORTANT AS WE

2:12:59PLAN FOR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS,

2:13:01AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT PROPERTY

2:13:03SERVICES STAFF CONSIDERS AS WE

2:13:07BRING THESE PROJECTS FORWARD.

2:13:18PROPERTY SERVICES' MISSION IS TO

2:13:20PROVIDE SAFE AND EQUITABLE WORK

2:13:23ENVIRONMENTS FOR ALL CITY

2:14:07WE NOT ONLY IMPROVE OUR

2:14:09FACILITIES, BUT ALSO EMPOWER

2:14:11CITY EMPLOYEES TO DELIVER

2:14:12SERVICES TO THEOMMUNITY AT A

2:14:13HIGH CALIPER. THE FIRE STATION

2:14:24ALERTING SYSTEM PROJECT INCLUDES

2:14:27AN IMPROVED SYSTEM THAT ENABLES

2:14:29ZONE ALERTING WITHIN EACH OF THE

2:14:31CITY'S 19 FIRE STATIONS. INSTEAD

2:14:34OF TRIERING ALERTS ACROSS THE

2:14:39ENTIRE STATION, THE SYSTEM SENDS

2:14:40EMERGENCY NOTIFICATIONS TO ONLY

2:14:43THOSE ZONES REQUIRED FOR

2:14:47SPECIFICMERGENCY RESPONSE.

2:14:49THIS TARGETED APPROACH REFLECTS

2:14:51INDUSTRY BEST PRACTICE AND

2:14:52SUPPORTS THE HEALTH AND

2:14:54WELLBEING OF FIREFIGHTING STAFF.

2:14:56THIS NEW SYSTEM WILL BE DIGITAL

2:14:59AND NOT ANALOG FOR A MORE DIRECT

2:15:04CONNECTION TO DISPATCH AND CAD

2:15:06SOFTWARE. AND IT WILL BE

2:15:07INTEGRATED INTO T FIRE STATION

2:15:10LIGHTING CONTROLS. THE FIRE

2:16:02DEFICIENT AND NO LONGER MEETS

2:16:04CURRENT BUILDING CODE, ENERGY

2:16:07CODE, AND ADA ACCESSIBILITY

2:16:08REQUIRENTS. MECHANICAL AND

2:16:13ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS HAVE EXCEEDED

2:16:15THEIR EXPECTED LIFESPANS AND ARE

2:16:17DUE FOR REPLACEMENT OR UPGRADES.

2:16:20THE CONFIGURATION OF THE

2:16:22EXISTING FACILITY WAS BASED UPON

2:20:36HVAC DESIGN WORK AND

2:20:37CONSTRUCTION WILL RUN THROUGH

2:20:43FALL OF 2027. THIS IS AN EXAMPLE

2:20:46OF A PROJECT THAT WE HAVE THE

2:20:48ABILITY TO LOOK AT MORE

2:20:51SUSTAINABILITY APPROACHES AS WE

2:20:52UPGRADE THIS BUILDING. THE

2:21:35CAPABLE OF SUPPORTING CURRENT

2:21:37TRNING REQUIREMENTS, WHILE

2:21:39PROVIDING FLEXIBILITY TO ADAPT

2:21:40TO EMERGING COMMUNITY SATY

2:21:41NEEDS. CONSOLIDATI TRAINING

2:24:27COMMUNITY-FOCUSED TENANT THAT

2:24:29WILL BE KNOWN AS THE MINNEAPOLIS

2:24:31DEMOCRACY CENTER. FACILITY

2:24:37DESIGNED BY LSE ARCHITECTS WAS

2:24:39COMPLETE IN SEPTEMBER OF 2026,

2:24:42WITH CONSTRUCTION TO BEGIN IN

2:24:44EARLY '27. AND THE PROJECT IS

2:24:49TICIPATED TO BE COMPLETE IN

2:24:49EARLY 2028. THAT CONCLUDES THE

2:24:57LISTF PROJECTS THAT ARE BNG

2:24:58BROUGHT THROUGH THE CAPITAL PROI

2:25:03AM HAPPY AND DELIGHTED TO STAND

2:25:05FOR ANY QUESTION THANK YOU FOR

2:25:07YOUR ATTENTION.

2:25:09>> THANK YOU, DIRECTOR O'BRIEN.

2:25:11ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS RELATED

2:25:13TO THE PROPERTY SERVICES CAPITAL

2:25:14BUDGET? I'M JUST WONRING,

2:25:24DIRECTOR, RELATED TO THE

2:25:25TRAINING AND WELLNESS FACILITY.

2:25:28I'M SORRY IF THIS HAS BEEN

2:25:31DISCUSSED MANY TES IN THE

2:25:33MANY, MANY CONFIGURATIONS OF

2:25:37CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THIS. BUT

2:25:38WITH A NEW FACILITY, WHAT

2:25:41HAPPENS TO THE EXISTING EOTF?

2:25:48>> SO THE CURRENT EOTF IS A

2:25:55MULTI-PURPOSE BUILDING. THE

2:25:57EMERGENCMANAGEMENT TEAM IS

2:25:58THERE AS WELL AS FIRE TRAINING

2:26:00AND A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT

2:26:03FUNCTIONS HAPPEN AT THAT

2:26:09LOCATION. IT IS UER SIZED FOR

2:26:12ITS CURRENT NEED. OFTENTIMES

2:26:15VERY CRAMPED OR MULTI-FUNCTION

2:26:19HAPPENING IN MULTIPLE PLACES.

2:26:22THE BUILDING ITSELF WILL STAY

2:26:23WHERE IT IS. WE WOULD LOOK AT

2:26:26ITS PROGRAMMING AND ADJUST IT

2:26:29ACCORDINGLY TO THE PROGRAMMATIC

2:26:32NEEDS WITHIN THE OCS. SO IT

2:26:35DOESN'T GO AWAY.

2:26:36>> GOTCHA. IT'S JUST AN ENORMOUS

2:26:39BUILDING AND EMERGENCY

2:26:40MANAGEMENT IS A SMAER

2:26:44DEPARTMENT WITH CERTAINLY

2:26:46HEIGHTENED PERIODS OF A TIME.

2:26:47BUT STAFFING IS ALWAYS MINIMAL

2:26:49AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE VERY

2:26:52MINIMAL. SO I'M JUST CONCERNED

2:26:52TH WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A GIANT

2:26:54ASSET THAT WE ARE PAYING TO

2:26:58MAINTAIN WITH NO EXPRESSED

2:26:58PURPOSE. I'LL RECOGNIZE COUNCIL

2:27:02MBER PALMISANO.

2:27:07>> THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. MS.

2:27:09O'BRIEN, ARE WE BEHIND IN THE

2:27:11FIRE ALERTING SYSTEM? I THOUGHT

2:27:13WE HAD DEDICATED $1 MILLION FOR

2:27:17THREE CONSECUTIVE YEARS ON THAT

2:27:18ONE.

2:27:21( PHONE RINGING )

2:27:23>> I APOLOGIZE ABOUT THAT.

2:27:27>> IT'S OKAY.

2:27:29>> THROUGH THE CHAIR AND COUNCIL

2:27:33MEMBER PALMISANO, WE ARE NOT

2:27:35BEHIND IN E PROJECT. THE

2:27:39PRECT IS VERY NUANCED. NONE OF

2:27:46OUR FIRE HOUSES ARE EXACTLY LIKE

2:27:47ONE ANOTHER. EACH OF THEM

2:27:55TAKE -- REQUIRES SPECIFIC DESIGN

2:27:58WORK FOR ITS OWNED APPLICATION.

2:28:03AND WE ANTICIPATE THAT IT WOULD

2:28:06TAKE THREE YEARS FROM BEGINNING

2:28:11TO END TO IMPLEMENT. AND SO

2:28:13WE'RE O OUR WAY. DESIGN WORK

2:28:19HAS STARTED IMPLEMENTATION. THE

2:28:23FIRST FEW HAVE BEGUN. SO NO, I

2:28:25WOULDN'T SAY THAT WE'RE BEHIND.

2:28:26IOULD SAY THAT THE PROJECT IS

2:28:29FAR MORE COMPLICATED AND NUANCED

2:28:30THAN ORIGINALLY INTENDED OR

2:28:32ANTICIPATED.

2:28:33>> SURE. YEAH. I CAN APPRECIATE

2:28:34THAT. TO THAT END, WHAT

2:28:40CONSIDERATION HAS THERE BEEN AND

2:28:42WHAT PROGRESS HAVE YOU MADE FOR

2:28:46FACILITIES. I KNOW YOU FOCUSED

2:28:48ON IT? EARLIER THIS YEAR WE

2:28:50HEARD FIRE IS DOING CPR TRAININ

2:28:55STANDING WATER IN IT. THAT'S

2:28:57UNACCEPTABLE. CAN YOU OFFER AN

2:28:58UPDATE, GENERALLY SPEAKING, ON

2:29:08THAT?

2:29:09>> CHAIR CHUGHTAI, COUNCIL

2:29:10MEMBER PALMISANO, I REALLY

2:29:13APPRECIATE. IT DOES GIVE US A

2:29:15CHANCE, EVEN THOUGH I'M STANDING

2:29:16HERE TO TALK ABOUT CAPITAL

2:29:18PROGRAMS AND CAPITAL PROJECTS,

2:29:19THE WORK AND THE STRIDES FORWARD

2:29:22THAT WE HAVE MADE WITH

2:29:24OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE

2:29:28RELATED TO THE OVERALL IMPROVEM

2:29:31STATIONS ACTUALLY PRIMARILY

2:29:33HAPPENED WITHIN OUR OPERATIONS

2:29:34AND MAINTENANCE TEAMS.

2:29:35>> I SEE.

2:29:35>> JUST IN THE PAST YEAR ALONE,

2:29:38WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO IMPLEMENT

2:29:41THINGS LIKE REGULAR DEEP

2:29:44CLEANING WHERE WE HAVE BEEN ABLE

2:29:46TO PULL OUT APPLIANCES IN THE

2:29:48KITCHEN, FOR EXAMPLE, AND DO

2:29:52STM CLEANING AND DO REALLY

2:29:55EXTENSIVE CLEANING THAT WE

2:29:57TYPICALLY WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN

2:29:58ABLE TO DO OR TYPICLY DID NOT

2:30:00DO.E HAVE TAKEN A LOOK AT AND

2:30:07GONE THROUGH EACH OF THE FE

2:30:09STATIONS. AND WE DO IT REGULARLY

2:30:14AND IDENTIFY THINGS THAT -- SOME

2:30:16MIGHT BE SMALL. BUT REGULAR

2:30:22IMPROVEMENTS. FOR EXAMPLE,

2:30:25REPLACING SHELVING UNITS IN THE

2:30:26LINEN STORAGE BECAUSE THEY HAD

2:30:30IPS AND THEY LEFT LITTLE

2:30:31SHARDS OF WOOD ON CLEAN NENS.

2:30:35REPLACING THINGS LIKE THAT. WE

2:30:37ARE THERE AND MAKING STRIDES.

2:30:39YES, IT IS TRUE THAT CPR

2:30:41TRAINING DOES STILL HAPPEN IN

2:30:43THE BASEMENT OF FIRE STATION 21.

2:30:48UNFORTUNATELY, I CAN'T COMMENT

2:30:50ON STANDING WATER BECAUSE IF

2:30:51THAT WERE REPORTED TO US,

2:30:53PROPERTY SERVICES WOULD BE THERE

2:30:56IMMEDIATELY TO REMEDY THAT

2:30:59SITUATION. SO IN SHORT, A LOT OF

2:31:02WORK AND A LOT OF CONCENTRATION

2:31:04HAS GONE TO EACH OF THE FIRE

2:31:05STATIONS OVER THE COURSE OF THE

2:31:07LAST COUPLE OF YEARS. BUT

2:31:10PRIMARILY AS A MAINTENANCE AND

2:31:12OPERATIONS RATHER THAN A CAPITAL

2:31:12PROGRAM.

2:31:14>> MM-HMM. I REALLY APPRECIATE

2:31:15THAT. AND I REALIZE NOW FROM

2:31:17WHAT YOU SAY THAT IT WOULDN'T BE

2:31:20IN THE CAPITAL PLAN. I

2:31:21UNDERSTAND THIS IS A CONCEPT WE

2:31:23DON'T ALL AGREE ON, BUT I'M

2:31:24REALLY GLAD TO SEE THE CONTINUED

2:31:27FOCUS ON A PUBLIC SAFETY

2:31:28TRAINING AND WELLNESS CENTER. WE

2:31:30CAN'T WORK OUR WAY OUT OF THIS

2:31:33NEED WITHOUT ONGOING FACILITY

2:31:36IMPROVEMENTS. AND WHETHER IT'S A

2:31:38AND

2:31:41STA

2:31:42STANDALONE BUILDING, WE NEED TO

2:31:43ADDRESS THIS. I'M PLEASED TO SEE

2:31:45THE COMMITMENT TO EMISSIONS

2:31:47REDUCTION. THIS IS ABOUT US

2:31:49REDUCING OUR OWN CARBON

2:31:51EMISSIONS. IT'S N EASY. BUT

2:31:52YOU REALLY HELP US LEAD BY

2:31:53EXAMPLE. AND WE HEARD A LITTLE

2:31:55BIT MORE ABOUT THAT LAST WEEK IN

2:31:57C & I COMMITTEE. SO THANK YOU.

2:32:00>> YOU'RE WELCOME.

2:32:01>> THANK YOU. THAT IS ALL THE

2:32:06QUESTIONS WE'VE GOT FOR PROPERTY

2:32:07SERVICES. THANK YOU. NEXT, WE'LL

2:32:14WELCOME PRESENTATION FOR THE

2:32:18PARK BOARD'S CAPITAL BUDGET.

2:32:19WELCOME, SIR.

2:32:23>> HI, EVERYONE. CITY COUNCIL

2:32:25MEMBERS, I'M THE DIRECTOR OF

2:32:29STRATEGIC PLANNING AT THE

2:32:30MINNEAPOLIS PARK AND RECREATION

2:32:36THE PARK BOARD'S CAPITAL BUDGET

2:32:37AS IT RELATES TO THE CITY'S

2:32:41PROCESSES. THE PURPOSE OF THE

2:32:43BOARD IS IN THE CONTEXT OF

2:32:45CAPITAL IS TO MAINTAIN AND

2:32:49IMPROVE MINNEAPOLIS'S PARKS AND

2:32:52RECREATION, OPERATIONS

2:32:53FACILITIES FOR BOTH RESIDENTS

2:32:54AND VISITORS. WE DO MANAGE,

2:32:58REHABILITATE AND OPERATE 153

2:33:00NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS IN THE CITY,

2:33:01AS WELL AS 20 REGIONAL PARKS,

2:33:03WHICH DON'TET A LOT OF LOCAL

2:33:05DOLLARS, BUT I MENTION THEM

2:33:07ANYWAY. ROUGHLY 7,000 ACRES OF

2:33:09LAND AND WATER IN TOTAL. AND

2:33:12THOUSANDS OF RECREATIONAL

2:33:15ASSETS. THE PRIORITIES AND NEEDS

2:33:16HERE IS WE DO HAVE AN AGING

2:33:18SYSTEM OF PARKS AND RECREATION.

2:33:20SO WE NEED TO PRESERVE AND

2:33:22REHABILITATE THOSE AGING ASSETS.

2:33:23WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO ENHANCE

2:33:26ACCESSIBILITY. MUCH OF OUR

2:33:27SYSTEM WAS BUILT PRIOR TO THE

2:33:29AMERICANWITH DISABILITIES ACT,

2:33:30AND SO WE'RE CONSTANTLY

2:33:34UPGRADING TO ENSURE THERE'S

2:33:35UNIVERSAL ACCESSIBILITY. BUT

2:33:36ALSO IMPORTANTLY, TO TRANSFORM

2:33:38THE PARK SYSTEM BASED ON

2:33:39CHANGING COMMUNITY NEEDS. MANY

2:33:43OF OUR PARKS DO DATE. WE NEED TO

2:33:49THINK ABOUT WHAT ARE THE NEW

2:33:51RECREATIONAL ASSETS THAT PEOPLE

2:33:54WANT TODAY THAT MAYBE DIDN'T EXR

2:33:57OVERALL INVESTMENT AND FUNDING,

2:33:59WE HAVE A VARIETY OF FUNDING

2:34:01SOURCES. THE MOST IMPORTANT OF

2:34:02THOSE ON THE NEIGHBORHOOD SIDE

2:34:04THE MMP20 AGREEMENT CODIFIED

2:34:09AN ORDINANCE. IN ADDITION, WE DO

2:34:11USE PARK BOARD CAPITAL LEVY OR

2:34:14PARK BOARD LEVY FOR CAPITAL. WE

2:34:17ACCESS PARK LAND DEDICATION FEES

2:34:19AND ALSO LOOK AT DONATIONS AND

2:34:21GRANTS. IN A REGIONAL SYSTEM,

2:34:22WHICH IS YOUR BIG WATEBASED

2:34:25PARKS, THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER,

2:34:27CHAIN OF LAKES, ET CETERA. WE

2:34:29GET FUNDING FROM THE

2:34:33METROPOLIT COUNCIL THROUGH THE

2:34:34LEGACY AMENDMENT, THE LOTTERY

2:34:36AND REGIONAL AND STATE BONDING,

2:34:39AS WELL AS PARKLAND DEDICATIONS,

2:34:41FEES, DONATIONS, A VARIETY OF

2:34:43STATE AND ENVIRONMENTAL GRANTS

2:34:44THAT WE ACCESS REGULARLY. I JUST

2:34:47WANTED TO REPORT THAT THERE'S

2:34:50BEEN PRETTY SIGNIFINT

2:34:51IMPROVEMENTS SINCE THE VISIONARY

2:34:54EFFORTS IN 2017 TO CREATE MMP20.

2:34:56WE'RE COMING UP ON THE FIRST

2:34:58HALF OF THA IMPLEMENTED IN THE

2:35:00GROUND. WE DO TRACK BOTH OVERALL

2:35:05ASSET CONDITION IN THE

2:35:05NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS AS WELL AS

2:35:07SET LONGEVITY. OUR CURRENT

2:35:10CONDITION IS2.15. IN OUR

2:35:13METRIC, ONE IS THE BEST. NUMBER

2:35:14ONE. AND SO WE'RE WELL AVE

2:35:16AVERAGE IN TERMS OF OUR ASSET

2:35:18CONDITION ACROSS THE SYSTEM. THE

2:35:20SAME IS TRUE WITH ASSET

2:35:24LONGEVITY. WE'VE BROUGHT A

2:35:24SIGNIFANT NUMBER OF OUR

2:35:26COURTS, REC CENTERS,

2:35:29PLAYGROUNDS, INTO THEIR USEFUL

2:35:30LIFE. YOU CAN SEE THAT CURRENTLY

2:35:32RATES 1.15. THE ZERO WOULD BE

2:35:35EVERYTHING IS WITHIN USEFUL

2:35:37LIFE. AGAIN, EVERYTHING ABOVE

2:35:39AVERAGE. IMPORTANT TO HIGHLIGHT

2:35:41THAT 99% OF RESIDEN LIVE

2:35:43WITHIN A 10-MINUTE WALK OF A

2:35:44PARK REGARDLESS OF THEIR RACE OR

2:35:47INCOME. WHEN MPP STARTED, THAT

2:35:50NUMBER WAS BELOW 98%. THEY MAY

2:35:55YOU'RE ONE AND A HALF PERCENT --

2:36:01WE NEED TO ENHANCE THAT PARK

2:36:03LAND AS WELL. THE FOUNDATION OF

2:36:06OUR CIP IS THE EQUITY METRIC

2:36:09THAT WERE WRITTEN INTO ORDINANCE

2:36:11IN 2017. SO ALL OF OUR

2:36:12NEIGHBORHOOD PROJECTS, AND ALSO

2:36:14THE REGIONAL PROJECTS ON A

2:36:15DIFFERENT SYSTEM. WE LOOK AT

2:36:19EMPIRICAL DATA DRIVEN METRICS

2:36:20BOTH IN TERMS OF THE PARK

2:36:22ITSELF, BUT ALSO THE COMMUNITY

2:36:24CHARACTERISTICS AROUN THAT

2:36:25PARK. SO SINCE 2017, WE'VE BEEN

2:36:27TAKING A LOOK AT WHERE THE

2:36:28GREAST NEED IN THE CITY IS AND

2:36:31DIRECTING INVESTNT,

2:36:33PRIORITIZING INVESTMENT IN THOSE

2:36:35AREAS. WHEN WE COME TO DO A

2:36:39PROJECT, THE PARK IS SELECTED

2:36:40BECAUSE OF THOSE METRICS.

2:36:42BUT EXACTLY WHAT GETS BUILT

2:36:44THERE IS BASED ON COMMUNITY

2:36:47ENGAGEMENT. SO OUR PROJECTS

2:36:50RANGE FROM THERE'S A MIX OF

2:36:52PROJECTS AND ONGOING PROGRAMS.

2:36:55THE NUMBERS AT BOTTOM LINE OF

2:36:57OUR CRP DO ALWAYS MATCH. IN TERM

2:37:00OF THE BONDING, THE ORDINANCE

2:37:01ALLOWED NUMBERS.O WE DO HAVE A

2:37:04SERIES OF ONGOING PROJECTS THAT

2:37:08WE INVEST IN EACH YEAR. MOST

2:37:11NOTABLY THE PARK'S CAPITAL

2:37:13INFRASTRUCTURE. ACROSS THE

2:37:14SYSTEM THAT ARE OF A SMALLER

2:37:17SIZE. LESS THAN $1.2 MILLION

2:37:21EACH. FOR WE'RE LOOKING AT 26

2:37:26PARKS INVESTED THIS WAY. WE HAVE

2:37:2911 REHABILITATION FUNDS WHICH GO

2:37:30OUT ACROSS THE SYSTEM AND TAKE

2:37:31CARE OF THOSE THINGS THAT ARE IN

2:37:33THE MOST NEED IN TERMS OF THEIR

2:37:37ASS

2:37:38ASSET CONDITION. OUR PROGRAMS

2:37:40ARE ALSO OTHER PIECES OF THIS.

2:37:41IN THIS CONTEXT, I WANT TO NOTE

2:37:44THAT UNDER THAT PRK02

2:37:48PLAYGROUND, AS OF 2031 CIP YEAR,

2:37:51WE ARE COMPLETELY CAUGHT UP

2:37:56PLAYGROUNDS IN TERMS OF USEFUL

2:37:57LIFE. THEY WILL ALL BE USEFUL

2:38:00LIFE 2031. THAT'S MADE POSSIBLE

2:38:05BY MPP20. THERE ARE 17 PARKS

2:38:06THATAVE SINGLE PARK PROJECTS.

2:38:08THESE ARE ALL PROJECTS THAT ARE

2:38:10GETTING AN INVESTMENT OF MORE

2:38:12THAN $1.2 MILLION. THE EXACT

2:38:15AMOUNT DEPEN ON KINDA WHAT

2:38:16EXISTS IN THAT PARK. BUT YOUAN

2:38:19SEE THE LIST THERE. I WON'T READ

2:38:22THEM TO YOU. ONCE WE DECIDE TO

2:38:25INVEST IN THAT PARK, WE HAVE A

2:38:27PLAN AND THEN THE COMMUNITY GETS

2:38:29A VOICE ON WHAT WE IMPLEMENT

2:38:30WITH THOSE DOLLARS. WE CALL THAT

2:38:34PARTICIPATORY PROJECT SCOPING.

2:38:35THE COMMUNITY GETS TO ENGAGE

2:38:36WITH US TO TALK ABOUT WHAT WE

2:38:39SHOULD BE BUILDING. I WANT TO

2:38:40HIGHLIT ONE LAST THING WHICH

2:38:42IS OUR ONLINE INTERACTIVE

2:38:44DASHBOARD CALLED THE TRUECIP.

2:38:47THIS IS A MAPPING TOOL OR A

2:38:51SORTING TOOL, A FILTERING TOOL

2:38:53THAT GOES ALL THE WAY BACK TO

2:38:562017. YOU CAN SEE THE OLD MEY

2:38:58AND FUTURE MONEY ADOPTED BY THE

2:39:01BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS. INCLSO

2:41:55FUNDING PLAN. THE 20-YEAR STREET

2:41:59FUNDING PLAN CONTINUES TO GUIDE

2:42:02OUR APPROACH ACROSS ALL

2:42:04TRANSPORTATION WORK. IT WAS

2:42:07UPGRADED LAST YEAR. IT USE A

2:42:11CRITERIA-BASED SYSTEM FOR

2:42:12PROGRAMMING THAT BALANCES

2:42:14TRADITNAL STREET ASSET

2:42:16CONDITION WITH EQUITY

2:42:19CONSIDERATIONS. ASSET CONDITION

2:42:21CONSIDERS PHYSICAL CONDITION OF

2:42:26ANDNEEDS. DEMOGRAPHIC

2:42:28INFORMATION, METRICS TO SPECIFIC

2:42:31TRANSPORTATION, AND MODAL NEEDS.

2:42:33USED TO IDENTIFY STREET

2:42:35RECONSTRUCTION PROJECTS FOR

2:42:36INCLUSION IN OUR CAPITAL

2:42:37PROGRAM, WHICH ARE TYPICALLY OUR

2:42:39MOST EXPENSIVE TRANSPORTATION

2:42:42INVESTMENTS. ONCE CANDIDATES

2:42:43HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED, PROJECTS

2:42:45MAY MOVE FORWARD OR BACKWARD

2:42:48DEPENDING ON UTILITY NEEDS IN

2:42:49COORDINATION WITH OTHER

2:42:51PROJECTS. SOMETIMES THETREET

2:42:53RECONSTRUCTION MAY NOT BE THE

2:42:55RIGHT FIX. ME APPROPRIATE SUCH

2:42:59AS RENOVATION OR RESURFACING.

2:43:01VAOUS PARTS OF METHODOLOGY

2:43:02THROUGHOUT THIS PLAN ARE USED IN

2:43:04PROCESSES AS WELL. T CIP FOR

2:43:11PUBLIC WORKS PROGRAMS PROJECTS

2:43:12ACROSS MULTIPLE TRANSPORTATI,

2:43:14WATER AND UTILITY PROJECTS,

2:43:16FUNDS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO THE

2:43:19PROGRAMS ARE FROM LEVY-FUNDED

2:43:22DEBT, THE GENERAL FUND TRANSR

2:43:28IS DESCRIBED -- ONGOING ASSET

2:43:30MANAGEMENT NEEDS, MUNICIPAL

2:43:32FUNDS, WHICH FUND HIGH VOLUME

2:43:33AND KEY STREETS THROUGHOUT THE

2:43:37CITY. FUNDS COLLECTED AT THE

2:43:37STATE LEVEL. ASSESSMENTS COMING

2:43:43FROM BENEFITING PROPTY OWNERS

2:43:45AT A UNIFORM RATE FOR A SPECIFIC

2:43:47PROJECT. GRANTS FROM AEDERAL

2:43:49GOVERNMENT, STATE GOVERNMENT OR

2:43:50OTHER AGENCIES, AGAIN, TIED TO A

2:43:52PARTULAR PROJECT. THE VALUE

2:43:55CAPTURE DISTRICT FUND, WHICHS

2:43:57ESTABLISHED IN STATE STATUTE FOR

2:43:59TRANSIT RELATED PURPOSES IN A

2:44:01SPECIFIC GEOGRAPHIC AREA.

2:44:03ENTERPRISE FEES AND BONDS USED

2:44:08TO FINANCE SELF-SUPPORTING. AND

2:44:13OTHER FUNDS. A SINGLE PROJECT

2:44:16CAN HAVE MULTIPLE REVENUE

2:44:16STREAMS ATTACHED TO IT EACH HAVE

2:44:20THEIR OWN RULES. ONE FUNDING

2:44:23SOURCE FOR ONE PROJECT -- OFTEN

2:44:25MULTIPLE SOURCES THAT FUND EACH

2:44:28PROJECT. STREET PAVING PROJECTS,

2:44:29FOR EXAMPLE, IS ONE OF THE MOST

2:44:32DIVERSE WITH AN EXCESS OF 10

2:44:33FUNDING SOURCES. GIVEN THE

2:44:36COMPLEX INTERPLAY FROM WHICH

2:44:38THESE FUNDI SOURCES ARE TIED,

2:44:41THERE ARE MANY CONSIDERATIONS

2:44:42AND CONSTRAINTS RELATED TO

2:44:43ADJUSTMENTS TO FUNDING SOURCES

2:44:46OR YEARS TO THE PROJECT

2:44:48DELIVERY. EVERY EFFORTS MADE TO

2:44:52LEVERAGE OUTSIDE FUNDING

2:44:55OPPORTUNITIES, HISTORICALLY, THE

2:44:57CITY HAS BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL IN

2:44:59SECURING FUNDING GRANTS. SEEKING

2:45:03ADDITIONAL SOURCES THROUGH

2:45:04PROCESSES. ALSO ADVANCING WITH

2:45:11THE SUPPORT OF FEDERAL AND STATE

2:45:13DOLLARS WITH LOCAL SUPPORT.

2:45:16TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS USUALLY

2:45:17SPEND ATEAST SIX YEARS IN

2:45:20DEVELOPMENT. COMMUNITY

2:45:21ENGAGEMENT AND PRELIMINARY

2:45:21DESIGN START TYPICALLY THREE TO

2:45:23FOUR YEARS BEFORE THE TARGETED

2:45:25CONSTRUCTION DATE. WE LEARNORE

2:45:26ABOUT WHAT THE COSTS ARE

2:45:28EXPECTED TO BE AS WE GET FURTHER

2:45:29ALONG IN DESIGN. BY THE TIME WE

2:45:31GET TO THE CONSTRUCTION YEAR, A

2:45:33LOT OF TIME AND ENERGY HAS GONE

2:45:36IN CREATING THE PROJECT VISION

2:45:37AND COMMUNITY EXPECTATIONS ABOUT

2:45:38THE PROJECT ARE HIGH. A YEAR

2:45:41OUT, EVERY DOLLAR IN THE PROGRAM

2:45:45IS ACCOUNTED FOR TO MEET POLICY

2:45:51AND COMMUNITY EXPECTATIONS. A

2:45:53SIMILAR PROGRESSION IN

2:45:54CERTAINTY, DESIGN AND FUNDING

2:45:56OCCURS FOR MANY PROJECTS. THERE

2:45:59ARE ALSO SMALLER PROJECTS THAT

2:46:02ARISE YEAR AFTER YEAR TO KEEP

2:46:05THIS INFRASTRUCTURE OPERATING

2:46:06AND IN A STATE OF REPAIR. THIS

2:46:09PRESENTATION GOES THROUGH ALL

2:46:11THE PROJECT TYPE SHOWN ON THE

2:46:13SLIDE. FIRSTITH HIGHLIGHTS AND

2:46:15DETAIL FOR EACH. FOR THE FIRST

2:46:17FIVE YEARS OF E CPI, THE

2:46:21TYPICAL PROGRAM IS APPROXIMATELY

2:46:25270 MILLION. TO START, STREET

2:46:28PAVING AND COOPERATIVE. ON

2:46:29AVERAGE, WERE SPENDING ABOUT

2:46:33$95 MILLION ANNUALLY. AND THIS

2:46:35ENCOMPASSING $23 MILLION IN

2:46:38FEDERAL GRANTS FOR YEARS 2027 TO

2:46:412029. WE ANTICIPATE BEING ABLE

2:46:43TO LEVERAG ADDITIONAL FEDERAL

2:46:44FUNDS FOR LATER YEARS IN THE CIP

2:46:47AS WE'VE APPLIED FOR NEARLY

2:46:49$40 MILLION OF FEDERAL FUNDING

2:46:51VIA THE REGIONAL SOLICITATION,

2:46:53WHICH WE SHOULD FIND OUT ABOUT

2:46:54NEXT YEAR. FUNDING INHIS AREA

2:46:57MAINTAINS A STATE OF GOOD REPAIR

2:47:01BY RECONSTRUCTION,

2:47:02REHABILITATION, AND REPAIR

2:47:04PROJECTS. IT ALS SUPPORTS

2:47:06INVESTMENTS IN CAPITAL AND STATE

2:47:08OWNED INFRASTRUCTURE IN

2:47:09MINNEAPOLIS WHERE WE ARE OFTEN

2:47:11ABLE TO SUPPLEMENT IN SAFETY --

2:47:15ON WHAT ARE OFTEN HIGH INJURY

2:47:17STREETS. WE ALSO PARTNER ON

2:47:19PROJECTS WITH METRO TRANSIT

2:47:20THROUGH THESE PROGRAMS. OUR

2:47:26GUIDING PRINCIPLE FOR PAVING IS

2:47:28THE RIGHT FIX FOR THE RIGHT

2:47:31TIME. REHABILITATION CAN EXTEND

2:47:32THE USEFUL LIFE OF OUR STREET

2:47:33INFRASTRUCTURE, MAXIMIZING THE

2:47:35BENEFIT OF THE CITY INVESTMENT,

2:47:39AND POSTPONING MORE COSTLY

2:47:40STREET RECONSTRUCTION PROJECTS.

2:47:42THEY OFFER GREATEST OPPORTUNITY

2:47:43TO CHANGE THE DESIGN AND

2:47:44FUNCTION OF OUR STREETS TO

2:47:46BETTER ADDRESS CURRENT USES AND

2:47:48NEEDS AND TO ADVANCE OUR GOALS

2:47:51AROUND SAFETY, EQUITY, CLIMATE

2:47:53AND MODE SHIFT. THIS SLIDE SHOWS

2:47:55THE PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS IN OUR

2:47:57PAVING PROGRAM. PAVING HERE IS

2:47:59LOOSY DEFINED AND ENCOMPASSES

2:48:03PROJECTS SUCH AS OUR ADA RAMP

2:48:07REPLACEMENT PROGRAM. THIS SLIDE

2:48:09AS WELL AS FUTURE ONES CALLS OUT

2:48:12NEW BUDGET REQUESTS IN

3:03:32>> THANK YOU. ARE THERE ANY

3:03:35QUESTIONS RELATED TO THE PUBLIC

3:03:38WORKS CAPITAL BUDGET? I AM NOT

3:03:41SEEING ANY. I BELIEVE THAT

3:03:44BRINGS US TO THE END OF THIS

3:03:45PRESENTATION. ALL RIGHT,

3:03:52COLLEAGUES. THIS IS THE END OF

3:03:55THE CAPITAL BUDGET PRESENTATION.

3:03:59I'LL NOW TAKE QUESTIONS ON ANY

3:04:02ASPECT OF THIS PRESENTATION IF

3:04:04THERE A ANY. I'M NOT SEEING

3:04:05ANY. SO I WILL DIRECT THE CLERK

3:04:11TO FILE THIS PRESENTATION. THANK

3:04:13YOU ALL FOR COMING IN. ALL

3:04:19RIGHT. WITH THAT, WE ARE REA

3:04:23TO CONTINUE TO ITEM NUMBER 7 ON

3:04:25OUR AGENDA.HIS IS THE WALK-ON

3:04:28BY VICE CHAIR SHAFFER. I WILL

3:04:32RECOGNIZE VICE CHAIR SHAFFER TO

3:04:33PLEASE INTRODUCEHIS ITEM AND

3:04:34MAKE A MOTION.

3:04:36>> THANK YOU, CHAIR CHUGHTAI,

3:04:39AND THANK YOU FOR THIS ABILITY

3:04:40TO WALK THIS ON TODAY. I

3:04:41APPRECIATE THAT. AND TODAY,

3:04:45COLLEAGUES, I THINK JUSTRIEFLY

3:04:47MY GOAL HERE WOULD BE TO FORWARD

3:04:50THIS WITHOUT RECOMMDATION.

3:04:51SINCE WE HAVE LOST MANY OF OUR

3:04:53COLLEAGUES HERE TODAY. SO I WILL

3:04:55NOT GO INTO A LOT OF DETAIL

3:04:56RIGHT IN THIS MOMENT. BUT FOR

3:04:58THE HIGH LEL, I -- LEVEL, I

3:05:04THINK MANY OF US HAVE HEARD FROM

3:05:06OUR CONSTITUENTS THE ABILITY AND

3:05:07NEED THAT THEY WOULD ASK OF US

3:05:10TO TRY TO LOWER THE LEVY IN ANY

3:05:13WAY WE CAN. ONE IDEA IS WHAT I

3:05:17HAVE BROUGHT FORWARD BEFORE YOU

3:05:18TODAY. AND THE TIMELINESS OF IT

3:05:20IS RELATED, OBVIOUSLY, TO THE

3:05:21WORK THAT WE WILL BE DOING

3:05:25TOMORR IN COW AROUND

3:05:26GOVERNMENT STRUCTURE AND

3:05:27REORGANIZATION. SO LET ME JUST

3:05:31HIGHLIGHT WHAT THE KIND OF THE

3:05:33RESOLVED PARTS OF THIS ACTION

3:05:35WOULD BE. THIS RESOLUTION

3:05:39ESTABLISHES THE CITY COUNCIL'S

3:05:41POLICY INTENT TO APPLY ALLET

3:05:43SAVINGS FROM THE GOVERNMENT

3:05:46RESTRUCTURE ORRGANIZATION

3:05:48TOWARDS REDUCING THE 2027 LEVY

3:05:51BELOW THE PERMITTED MAXIMUM. WE

3:05:52KNOW THAT THE BET HAS ALREADY

3:05:56SET A CEILING. BUT THIS WOULD BE

3:05:58A BABY STEP. THIS WOULD BE A

3:06:01FIRST NOD TOWARD REDIRECTING AND

3:06:04COMMITTING THESE FUNDS IN THE

3:06:06GOVERNMENT RESTRUCTURE TO

3:06:07REDUCING THE LEVY. RATHER THAN

3:06:10REDIRECTING THEM TO OTHER

3:06:12OPERATING EXPENSES, SERVICES,

3:06:15PROGRAMS, OR INITIATIVES. IT

3:06:18ALSO REQUESTS THE MAYOR AND THE

3:06:20CITY STAFF TO IDENTIFY THOSE

3:06:22SAVINGS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE TO

3:06:25INFORM THE COUNCIL'S BUDGET

3:06:27DECISIONS. THIS RESOLUTION DOES

3:06:29NOT SET A SPECIFIC REDUCTION,

3:06:31AMEND THE BUDGET, OR BINDR SET

3:06:34ANY FUTURE LEVY AMOUNT. IT IS

3:06:37BASICALLY A PUBLIC STATENT

3:06:38THAT WE AS A COUNCIL ARE GOING

3:06:40TO MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO REDUCE

3:06:42THE LEVY FROM THE MAXIMUM SET

3:06:46AND TO USE THIS AS A WAY TO

3:06:49DISCUSS AND FRAME THE GOVERNMENT

3:06:51RESTRUCTURING THAT WE WILL BE

3:06:52DISCUSSING TOMORROW. SO I AM

3:06:56HOPEFUL MY COLLEAGUES WILL JOIN

3:06:58ME IN MOVING THIS FORWARD WITHO

3:07:00>> SECOND.

3:07:04>> VICE CHAIR SHAFFER HAS MADE A

3:07:07MOTION TO FORWARD THIS. COUNCIL.

3:07:11>> COUNL.

3:07:12>> FORWARD THIS TO THURSDAY'S

3:07:13COUNCIL MEETING WITHOUT

3:07:14RECOMMENDATION. THAT HAS BEEN

3:07:17PROPERLY SECONDED. IS THERE ANY

3:07:19FURTHER DISCUSSION AT THIS TIME?

3:07:22I WILL RECOGNIZE PRESIDENT

3:07:23PAYNE.

3:07:24>> THANK YOU, CHAIRCHUGHTAI. I

3:07:27WAS WONDERING IF COUNCIL MEMBER

3:07:29SHAFFER COULD SPEAK TO WHETHER

3:07:32OR NOT THIS IS BINDING. AND IF

3:07:34IT IS, THAT MIGHT BE A QUESTION

3:07:36FOR THE CITY ATTORNEY IFT'S

3:07:39NOT. I'M NOT SURE. COULD YOU

3:07:41JUST KIND OF CLARIFY WHAT THE

3:07:43MEANING OF IT WOULD BE THEN.

3:07:44>> IF YOU LOOK ON THE BACK, WE

3:07:48CAN GET CLARIFICATION IF WE WANT

3:07:51FROM LEGAL AS WELL. IF YOU LOOK

3:07:53AT THE LAST PHRASE, IT DOES NOT

3:07:57BOUND ANY FUTURE AMOUNT. THIS IS

3:07:59NOT SOMETHING THAT IS ACTUALLY

3:08:00REDUCING THE LEVY IN THIS

3:08:02MOMENT. IT IS ACTUALLY A PROMISE

3:08:07OR POLICY INTENT FOR ALL OF US

3:08:09HERE THAT WOULD AGREE TO SUPPORT

3:08:11THIS THAT WE ARE GOING TO USE

3:08:13THE GOVERNMENT RESTRUCTURING

3:08:15SAVINGS FOR LEVY REDUCTION.UT

3:08:20THERE'S NOTHING BINDING. AND IF

3:08:23LEGAL WOULD LE TO WEIGH IN ON

3:08:27THAT, THAT'S FINE.

3:08:28>> MR. ATTORNEY, WOULD YOU LIKE

3:08:29TO WEIGH IN HERE?

3:08:30>> THROUGH THE CHAIR, I DON'T

3:08:32KNOW THAT I HAVE MUCH TO ADD. I

3:08:33WOULD AGREE THAT THE WAY I READ

3:08:36THE RESOLUTION IS IT IS NOT

3:08:41BINDING.

3:08:41>> EXCELLENT. NON-BINDING

3:08:43RESOLUTION. ANY FURTHER

3:08:45QUESTIONS? ANY FURTHER

3:08:47DISCUSSION? I'LL RECOGNIZE

3:08:48COUNCIL MEMBER STEVENSON

3:08:49FOLLOWED BY COUNCIL MEMBER

3:08:50CHOWDHURY.

3:08:51>> YEAH, THANK YOU. DEFINITELY

3:08:53SOMETHING TO CHEW ON HERE. I GOT

3:08:55THIS EARLIER TODAY. YEAH, I

3:08:58THINK IT'S A PRETTY BROADLY

3:08:59SHARED GOAL THAT WE'D LIKE TO

3:09:02SEE THE LEVY COME DOWN. AND AT

3:09:03THE SAME TIME, THERE'S A LOT OF

3:09:05THINGS IN THIS CITY THAT NEED T

3:09:12THIS TO THE NEXT, YOU KNOW,

3:09:14WITHOUT RECOMMENDATION. I'M NOT

3:09:17ENTIRELY SURE THAT I'M GOING TO

3:09:21SUPPORT IT AT FULL COUNCIL GIVEN

3:09:23THAT, YOU KNOW, THERE'S THINGS

3:09:24THAT ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO BE

3:09:27FUNDED. LIKE VIOLENCE

3:09:30PREVENTION, I THINK. I THINK

3:09:31SPENDING MONEY ON VIOLENCE

3:09:33PREVENTION IS WORTHWHILE. I

3:09:35DON'T WANT TO NECESSARI TIE MY

3:09:37OWN HANDS ON WHERE THE MONEY

3:09:39MIGHT COME FROM IN ORDER FOR US

3:09:44TO RESTORE CERTAIN SERVICES THAT

3:09:47WE DESPERATELY NEED. WHETHER

3:09:48IT'S CO-ENFORCEMENT OR HOMEGROWN

3:09:52OR VIOLENCE PREVENTION. I'M

3:09:55DISINCLINED FROM THAT ANGLE

3:09:56GIVEN WE HAVE A LOT O CORE

3:10:00FUNCTIONS SOME WHERE LITERALLY

3:10:03LIVES ARE AT STAKE AND OTHERS

3:10:07WHERE QUALITY OF LIFE IS AT

3:10:09STAKE. I DON'T KNOW IF I'M

3:10:10SUPPORTING THIS B CERTAINLY, I

3:10:12WANT TO SEE THE LEVY REDUCED,

3:10:14AND I JUST WANT TOEEP OUR

3:10:16OPTIONS OPEN IN TERMS OF WHERE

3:10:18WE'RE GETTING THE MONEY FROM IN

3:10:19ORDER TOEDUCE SAID LEVY.

3:10:25>> NEXT, I'LL RECOGNIZE COUNCIL

3:10:27MEMBER CHAVEZ FOLLOWED BY VICE

3:10:29CHAIR SHAFFER.

3:10:30>> THANK YOU, CHAIR CHUGHTAI.

3:10:32I'LL SAVE MOS OF MY COMMENTS

3:10:33FOR FULL COUNCIL ON THURSDAY.

3:10:35I'LL BE SUPPORTING THE MOTION TO

3:10:37MOVE IT WITHOUT RECOMMENDATION,

3:10:39AND EXPECT TO HAVE MORE

3:10:40CONVERSAONS AS THE DAYS

3:10:42PROGRESS. I THINK ONE OF MY

3:10:44IMMEDIATE CONCERNS HERE I THAT

3:10:46IT SAYS ALL SAVINGS. SO IT TALKS

3:10:48ABOUT US EXPRESSING A COMMITMENT

3:10:51OF ALL THE SAVINGS OF THE

3:10:52REDUCTION OF THE OFFICE OF

3:10:54COMMUNITY SAFETY. AT LEAST AS A

3:10:56TOP OF MIND THING THAT I SEE

3:10:58IMMEDI

3:11:01IMMEDIATELY.

3:11:01>> NEXT, I'LL RECOGNIZE VICE

3:11:02CHAIR SHAFFER.

3:11:03>> THANK YOU, CHAIR CHUGHTAI. I

3:11:05REALIZE THAT I DID NOT MENTION

3:11:07ONE THING. WE DO NOT, AS WE

3:11:11KNOW, HAVE A DOLLAR AMOUNT FOR

3:11:12WHAT THIS RESTRUCTURE WOULD

3:11:15HAPP. WHAT THE DOLLAR AMOUNT

3:11:16MAY BE. WE THINK IT'S A SMALL

3:11:18AMOUNT. PROBABLY $2 MILLN TO

3:11:20$4 MILLION. AND MY HOPE IS THAT

3:11:22WE WOULD BE ABLE TO FIND MORE

3:11:24SAVINGS THAN THAT AS WE HEAD IN

3:11:26TO THIS BUDGET PROCESS WITH O

3:11:29AMENDMENTS. SO I VIEW THIS AS

3:11:31KIND OF A TOKEN FIRST STEP OF

3:11:35COMMITMENT TO OUR RESIDENTS THAT

3:11:37WE ARE MOVING FORWARD WITH A

3:11:41COMMITMENT TO BUDGET REDUCTION.

3:11:43$2 MILLION TO $4 MILLION, AS YOU

3:11:46KNOW, WOULD NOT EVEN GET US TO

3:11:48ONE PERCENTAGE POINT. SO IT'S A

3:11:51SMALL AMOUNT HERE THAT WE'RE

3:11:52ACTUALLY TALKING. THAT'S WHY I'M

3:11:53SEEING THIS AS A LITTLE BIT

3:11:55SYMBOLIC. BECAUSE I ABSOLUTELY

3:11:56AGREE THAT WE ARE GOING TO HAVE

3:12:01DISCUSSIONSROUND RESTORATIONS.

3:12:04ABSOLUTELY. THIS IS LIKE A

3:12:06FORWARD STATEMENT TO OUR

3:12:07RESIDENTS IN GOOD FAITH THAT WE

3:12:11TO BRING THE REDUCTION DOWN. AND

3:12:13WHETHER IT HPENS IN THIS

3:12:17$2 MILLION TO $4 MILLION POCKET

3:12:19OR BROADER GROUP OF AMOUNTS,

3:12:21THAT YOU AND I, COUNCIL MEMBER

3:12:24SORENSON.

3:12:25>> SORRY, IT'S STEVENSON.

3:12:30>> SORRY. WE'RE ALMOST AT 3

3:12:33HOURS, PLUS TWO OR THREE THIS

3:12:34MORNING. THANK YOU FOR YOUR

3:12:35GRACE. OKAY. THAT WAS ALL I

3:12:36WANT TO SAY ABOUT THAT.

3:12:38>> NEXT, I'LL RECOGNIZE COUNCIL

3:12:39MEMBER CHOWDHURY.

3:12:41>> YEAH, THANK YOU, COUNCIL

3:12:42MEMBER CHUGHTAI. I MEAN, I THINK

3:12:46A GOOD FIRST STEP WOULD BE IF

3:12:49COLLEAGUES WANT TO SET UP TIME

3:12:51TO TALK TO ME ABOUT WHAT THEIR

3:12:54PRIORITIES ARE FOR THE BUDGET,

3:12:55TO SCHEDULE IT SO WE CAN HAVE A

3:12:57DISCUSSION. I THINKE NEED TO

3:13:01GET AGREEMENT ON WHERE THERE IS

3:13:06PLACES FOR CUTS. AND AGREEMENT

3:13:09FOR PLACES ON RESTORATIONS. I

3:13:11DON'T THINK WE'RE GOING TO HAVE

3:13:12100% AGREEMENT ACROSS THE BOARD.

3:13:16BUT I THINK THAT'S THE TASK IN

3:13:18FRONT OF US. FOR ME, I'LL SAVE

3:13:20MOST OF MY COMMENTS FOR

3:13:22THURSDAY. BUT I THINK TOMORROW'S

3:13:24CONVERSATION, AS WE TALK ABOUT

3:13:25GOVERNMENT RESTRUCTURE, WILL BE

3:13:30HELPFUL. I MEAN, THE QUESTION

3:13:32THAT I GET WHEN I READ THIS

3:13:34IS -- I WON'T PUT YOU ON THE

3:13:39SPOT, COUNCIL MEMBER SHAFFER,

3:13:40BUT SUPPORT FOR GOVERNMENT

3:13:41STRUCTURE ORDINANCE THAT WE'RE

3:13:42GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT

3:13:44TOMORROW THAT INCLUDES

3:13:45ELIMINATION OF THE OFFICE OF

3:13:46COMMUNITY SAFETY. AND I THINK

3:13:48THAT'S SOMETHI THAT I'M

3:13:49INTERESTED TO SEE IF MEMBERS

3:13:53ACROSS THE BOARD SUPPORT. I

3:13:55THINK IF WE HAVE THAT SUPPORT,

3:13:57THEN I MORE INCLINED TO HAVE

3:14:00THIS COERSATION. BUT ALSO, I

3:14:03THINK THERE ARE OTHER PLACES FOR

3:14:06US TO FIND SAVINGS. EVEN IF THIS

3:14:09ISN'T BINDING, I DON'T WANT TO

3:14:12COMMIT MYSELF TO SOMETHING THAT

3:14:13I MIGHT NOT END UP SUPPORTING IN

3:14:15THE FUTURE. THESE CONVERSATIONS

3:14:17ABOUT THE BUDGET ARE GOING TO BE

3:14:19FLUID. I'VE REACHED OUT TO

3:14:21SEVERAL MEMBERS TO HAVE

3:14:22CONVERSATIONS ABOUT T BUDGET.

3:14:24I WOULD LOVE SOME OUTREACH FROM

3:14:27OTHERS TO TALK TO ME PROACTIVELY

3:14:29ABOUT WHAT THEY'RE THINKING.

3:14:31I'M ON TO THAT SO WE CAN HAVE

3:14:33A BETTER FEEL FOR WHAT'S ALL ON

3:14:35THE TABLE RIGHT NOW.

3:14:39>> THANK YOU. I PUT MYSELF IN

3:14:44QUEUE, AND I'LL JUST MAKE -- I

3:14:46THINK I'LL ASK A COUPLE OF

3:14:53QUESTIONS THAT I AM NOT LOOKING

3:14:55FOR AN ANSWER TODAY. BUT WHEN WE

3:15:00DISCUSS ON THURSDAY, I WLD

3:15:01LOVE IF THESE CAN BE ADDRESSED.

3:15:03I THINK SOMETHING I'M REALLY

3:15:06STRUGGLING WITH IS THE FLUIDITY

3:15:11OF THE LANGUAGE THAT YOU USE,

3:15:13VICE CHAIR SHAFFER, WN

3:15:14DESCRIBING THIS RESOLUTION. IS

3:15:15IT A TOKEN? IS IT A PROMISE? IS

3:15:18IT A PINKY SWEAR? IS IT

3:15:20SYMBOLIC? IS IT NOT SYMBOL?

3:15:23THE WORDS SYMBOLIC, TOKEN, AND

3:15:25PROMISE WERE ALL USED IN

3:15:27DESCRIBING THIS RESOLUTION. AND

3:15:29THOSE MEAN VERY, VERY, VERY

3:15:31DIFFERENT THINGS. SO AM I

3:15:33HANDCUFFING MYSELF TO A PROMISE

3:15:35OR AM I MAKING A SYMBOLIC

3:15:37COMMITMENT? I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

3:15:38I DON'T KNOW. CLEARLY, THAT

3:15:40ISN'T ADDRESSED HERE. AND I

3:15:44THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT IF

3:15:46WE'RE GOING TO CONSIDER THIS ON

3:15:47THURSDAY, WE AT LEAST HAVE AN

3:15:49ANSWER TO THAT BASIC QUESTION.

3:15:54YOU KNOW, I WOULD CAUTION

3:15:58AGAINST ARTIFICIALLY HANDCUFFING

3:16:03OURSELVES TO USING GOVERNMENT

3:16:07STRUCTURE SAVINGS TO SOLELY

3:16:08REDUCE THE LEVY. THINK LEVY

3:16:11REDUCTION CAN HAPPEN FROM

3:16:13MULTIPLE SOURCES. I THINK IF WE

3:16:15ARE GOING TO MAKE A SYMBOLIC

3:16:21GESTURE TO LEVY REDUCTION, IF

3:16:22THIS TRULY IS SYMBOLIC, THEN I

3:16:24WOULD LIKE TO SEE IN THIS

3:16:27RESOLUTION, AND I WOULD BRING

3:16:28THIS FORWARD AS AN AMENDMENT ON

3:16:30THURSDAY, A COMMITMENT TO

3:16:32RESTORING SEVERAL OTHER PROGRAMS

3:16:33THAT I'VE HEARD OVER AND OVER AS

3:16:36THEMES OF IMPORTANCE TO THIS

3:16:37COUNCIL. SO IF WE'RE SAYING LEVY

3:16:42REDUCTION IS AN IMPORTANT -- OR

3:16:48IS A PARAMOUNT IMPORTANCE TO

3:16:49THIS BODY, SO IS THE RESTORATION

3:16:52OF PROGRAMS LIKE VIOLENCE

3:16:54PREVENTION, LIKE THE CLIMATE

3:16:55LEGACY INITIATIVE, LIKE

3:16:57CO-ENFORCEMENT AND ON AND ON. SO

3:17:00I THINK THOSE ARE SOME INITIAL

3:17:02REACTIONS, AND I'M LOOKING

3:17:05FORWARD TO A ROBUST AND MORE

3:17:10FULLSOME DISCUSSION ON THURSDAY.

3:17:12I'M NOT SEEING ANYONE ELSE IN

3:17:14QUEUE, SO ON THE MOTION TO SEND

3:17:17THIS TO THURSDAY'S COUNCIL

3:17:18MEETING WITHOUT RECOMMENDATION,

3:17:20ALL THOSE IN FAVOR PLEASE

3:17:21SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.

3:17:23>> AYE.

3:17:23>> THOSE OPPOSED SAY NAY. ANY

3:17:26ABSTENTIONS? THE AYES HAVE IT

3:17:28AND THAT MOTION CARRIES. WITH

3:17:29THAT, WE'VE CONCLUDED ALL

3:17:30BUSINESS TO COME BEFORE THE

3:17:31COMMITTEE THIS AFTERNOON. AND IF

3:17:32THERE IS NO OBJECTION, WE STAND

3:17:35ADJOURNED UNTIL OUR NEXT MEETING

3:17:37WHICH IS ON MONDAY, NOVEMBER 2,

3:17:402026, AT 10 A.M. THANK YOU,

3:17:42EVERYONE.
