[3:41] **Christopher Meyer**: ARE THERE ANY UPDATES FOR STAFF OR COMMISSIONERS? **City Staff**: ONE BRIEF UPDATE. SO WE HAD TWO EMERGENCY SHELTERS THAT HAVE BEEN GOING THROUGH THE CITY COUNCIL PROCESS. I BELIEVE YOU GOT AN UPDATE LAST TIME ON THE 1918 WEST LAKE STREET PERMIT USE. [4:00] **City Staff**: THAT WAS APPROVED FOR EMERGENCY SHELTER AND THE ONE AT 1801 NICOLLET AVENUE THAT HAD BEEN APPROVED FOR THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND APPEALED. THAT APPEAL WAS DENIED BY THE BIZ COMMITTEE OF THE CITY COUNCIL AND CONSIDERED BY THE FULL CITY COUNCIL THIS WEEK. [4:16] **City Staff**: SO ESSENTIALLY DENYING THE APPEAL UPHOLDS THE PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION ON THAT ONE. NO FURTHER UPDATES. **Christopher Meyer**: COUNCIL MEMBER CHOWDHURY. **Aurin Chowdhury**: THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. I JUST WANTED TO NOTE FOR THE PUBLIC, WITH THOSE EMERGENCY SHELTERS, THAT IS ZONING THAT THEY ARE CLASSIFIED FOR. [4:37] **Aurin Chowdhury**: THEY'RE RECUPERATIVE CARE FACILITIES, AND AS A COUNCIL MEMBER THAT SITS ON THE BIZ COMMITTEE THAT VOTED ON APPROVAL, WE APPROVED THE REQUEST OF PERMITS. HOWEVER, THE DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES (DHS) STILL NEEDS TO GO THROUGH THEIR PROCESS OF ISSUING THE LICENSE BEFORE OPERATIONS CAN BEGIN AT THE FACILITIES. [5:06] **Christopher Meyer**: THANK YOU FOR THE CLARIFICATION. ANY OTHER UPDATES FROM ANYONE? ALL RIGHT, WE ARE ADJOURNED.
