THE BUSINESS INSPECTIONS HOUSING AND ZONING COMMITTEE IS BRINGING 12 ITEMS FOR BOARD APPROVAL. ITEM NUMBER 1 IS LICENSE FOR TABERNA. ITEM 2 IS A COMMERCIAL PROPERTY LAND TRUST PROJECT, THE FIRST ONE AT 19 EAST 26TH STREET, THE COMPANY, THE NONPROFIT IS CALLED PARTNERS IN PROPERTY COMMERCIAL LAND TRUST. ITEM NUMBER 3 IS FINANCING FOR THE ROUND 3 MINNEAPOLIS HOMES PROGRAM. I'LL NOTE THAT ABOUT HALF OF THESE ARE LAND SALES TO HAPPEN IMMEDIATELY, AND THE OTHER HALF ARE EXCLUSIVE DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS GIVEN THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH FUNDING TO DO ALL THE GOOD PROJECTS IN THE QUEUE, BUT STAFF HAVE CREATED A NEW SYSTEM WHERE THEY'RE TRYING TO WORK HAND IN HAND WITH THOSE WITH EXCLUSIVE [7:22] DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS TO SECURE SOME OF THE STATE FUNDING THAT HAS BECOME AVAILABLE.

ITEM 6 IS A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS ON BEHALF OF AMORY HOLDINGS. [7:55] ITEM 7 ARE LIQUOR LICENSE APPROVALS AND 8 ARE THE LIQUOR LICENSE RENEWALS. ITEM NUMBER 9 IS APPROVING A LEGISLATIVE DIRECTIVE REGARDING PUTTING INFORMATION ABOUT COMPLIANCE ABOUT SNOWPLOWING WITHIN THE RENTAL LICENSE TIERING PROCESS. [8:12] ITEM 10 IS AN APPROPRIATION FOR CITY-OWNED LAND AT 10 AND 30 W LAKE STREET. ITEM 11 IS AN RFP FOR NON-LAW ENFORCEMENT DEVELOPMENT OF THE LAND AT 2600 MINNEHAHA AND ITEM 12 IS A PUBLIC UTILITIES EASEMENT OF THE PORT OF MINNEAPOLIS. WITH THAT I WILL MOVE ITEMS 1 THROUGH 12 FOR APPROVAL THIS MORNING. [8:33] **Andrea Jenkins:** COUNCILMEMBER GOODMAN HAS MOVED THAT REPORT. AND ARE THERE ANY COMMENTS FROM MY COLLEAGUES? I SEE COUNCILMEMBER CHAVEZ. [8:36] **Jason Chavez:** THANK YOU, COUNCIL PRESIDENT JENKINS. THE BUILDING IN MIDTOWN PHILLIPS NEIGHBORHOOD THAT BURNED DOWN LAST SUMMER AND HAS MULTIPLE VIOLATIONS—MANY OF MY NEIGHBORS HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR HELP ON THIS AND I'M GLAD THE STAFF IS TAKING ACTION TO ALLEVIATE THIS AND MAKE SURE THAT BLOCK IS ACTIVATED TO PREVENT THAT FROM HAPPENING AGAIN. [9:16] **Jeremiah Ellison:** THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. I WANTED TO SPEAK BRIEFLY ON ITEM NUMBER 2. I KNOW IT'S NOT IN MY WARD BUT IT'S A BIG STEP IN A POTENTIAL NEW TOOL FOR HOW WE CREATE AFFORDABLE COMMERCIAL SPACE WHICH GOES A LONG WAY IN HOW WE THINK ABOUT HOW WE SUPPORT OUR RESIDENTS IN BUILDING WEALTH. SO THE FACT THAT THIS IS THE FIRST PROJECT, THE FACT THAT THIS WAS A SITE WITH A LOT OF DIFFICULTY AND I THINK SHEPHERDED ALONG REALLY WELL WITH COUNCILMEMBER CHUGHTAI. SO I JUST THINK THAT COUNCILMEMBER CHUGHTAI DESERVES SORT OF HER FLOWERS FOR SEEING THIS PROJECT THROUGH AND I'M SURE THAT AS THE PROJECT GOES THROUGH DEVELOPMENT AND REDEVELOPMENT, WE'LL PROBABLY SEE IT AGAIN BEFORE US, BUT THIS IS A HUGE STEP FORWARD, AND I'M EXCITED TO SEE HOW IT [10:01] ALL SHAKES OUT. [10:02] **Andrea Jenkins:** AGREED. COUNCIL VICE PRESIDENT PALMISANO. [10:04] **Linea Palmisano:** THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. I WANTED JUST TO MAKE NOTE OF THE LEGISLATIVE DIRECTIVE ON HERE ABOUT RENTAL LICENSE TIERING, ADDING SNOW NONCOMPLIANCE INTO THAT TIERING. I APPRECIATE THAT LEGISLATIVE DIRECTIVE AND I THINK IT'S PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST EFFECTIVE THINGS THAT WE CAN DO IN TERMS OF THE PROBLEMS OF SNOW REMOVAL IN FRONT OF BUILDINGS WHICH TEND TO BE SOME OF OUR BIGGEST COMPLIANCE ISSUES. SO THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER CHUGHTAI FOR APPROACHING THAT ISSUE THIS WAY. [10:42] **Andrea Jenkins:** ALL RIGHT. SEEING NO FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS COMMITTEE REPORT, CLERK, PLEASE CALL THE ROLL. [10:48] **Casey Carl (City Clerk):** COUNCILMEMBER CHUGHTAI. [10:49] **Aisha Chughtai:** AYE. [10:49] **Casey Carl (City Clerk):** CHAVEZ. [10:50] **Jason Chavez:** AYE.

[20:16] **Linea Palmisano:** THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. I WANTED TO MAKE MY COLLEAGUES AWARE THAT YESTERDAY LATE AFTERNOON I RECEIVED THE RESIGNATION OF A COMMITTEE MEMBER FROM OUR AUDIT COMMITTEE, MS. SARAH RENNER. MS. RENNER RESIGNED BECAUSE SHE WAS HIRED BY OUR AUDIT DEPARTMENT. SO IT'S ACTUALLY A GOOD THING. [20:42] CONGRATULATIONS TO HER. AND I THINK YOU WILL ALL REALLY ENJOY WORKING WITH HER. I GOT A CHANCE TO BE PART OF THAT INTERVIEW PROCESS. DUE TO THAT, THERE WAS, AS WE WENT THROUGH THIS INTERVIEW PROCESS FOR COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO BE PART OF AUDIT COMMITTEE BACK IN MAY, THERE WAS A VERY QUALIFIED CANDIDATE. HER NAME IS LEAH OMAR AND I WILL BE FORWARDING HER APPLICATION AROUND FOR MY COLLEAGUES TO REVIEW IN PREPARING THE RCA ACCORDINGLY. [21:11] NEXT CYCLE THEN WE WOULD LIKE TO MOVE TO APPOINT THAT COMMITTEE MEMBER IN HER PLACE TO FILL OUT THE REST OF THAT TERM. SO THAT WILL BE MOVING FORWARD THIS NEXT CYCLE AND I JUST WANTED TO MAKE PEOPLE AWARE OF WHAT HAPPENED. [21:32] **Andrea Jenkins:** AWESOME. AND GOOD NEWS THAT WE DIDN'T FULLY LOSE MS. RENNER. NEXT IN QUEUE IS COUNCILMEMBER CHUGHTAI. [21:37] **Aisha Chughtai:** THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. I WANTED TO INVITE ALL OF MY COLLEAGUES TO THE UPTOWN ART FAIR WHICH IS TAKING PLACE THIS WEEKEND STARTING TOMORROW AT 1:00 P.M. THROUGH 7:00 P.M. AND THEN SATURDAY ALL DAY IN THE MORNING FROM 10 AND THEN THROUGH THE EVENING AT 7 AND IT ENDS ON SUNDAY AT 5:00 IN THE AFTERNOON. WE'RE REALLY EXCITED. THIS IS THE 59TH ANNUAL UPTOWN ART FAIR SO I WANTED TO JUST ANNOUNCE THAT TODAY. [22:13] **Andrea Jenkins:** YEAH. IT'S AN AMAZING EVENT. SO I HOPE EVERYBODY CAN GET OUT AND SUPPORT ARTISTS AND THE UPTOWN ART FESTIVAL. SEEING NO FURTHER ANNOUNCEMENTS -- OH, COUNCILMEMBER VETAW. [22:25] **LaTrisha Vetaw:** THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. I WANTED TO JUST QUICK THANK THE MAYOR'S OFFICE FOR COMING TO WARD 5 TO TURNING POINT TO DO A SITE VISIT WITH THE STAFF AND THE RESIDENTS AT TURNING POINT, WHICH IS A TREATMENT CENTER. COUNCILMEMBER CHAVEZ JUST TALKED ABOUT THE OPIOID CRISIS, AND IT'S A BIG DEAL ON THE NORTH SIDE TOO. AND SO I WAS SO GRATEFUL THAT THE MAYOR CAME, CHECKED OUT THE MAIN FACILITY AND ALSO WENT AROUND TO SOME OF THEIR HOUSING SITES THAT THEY HAVE THE CLIENTS IN AFTER THEY WENT THROUGH THE TREATMENT PROGRAM SUCCESSFULLY. IT WAS A GOOD TOUR. IT WAS A GOOD WAY TO SHOW WHAT WE COULD BE DOING TO HELP OUT THOSE FOLKS. I KNOW COUNCIL PRESIDENT, YOU WORKED AT TURNING POINT FOR A WHILE. SO YOU KNOW THE [23:18] SPECIFIC TREATMENT SERVICES THAT THEY PROVIDE IN OUR COMMUNITY. THEY HAVE A HUGE WAITING LIST. AND THEY'RE NOT ABLE TO GET FOLKS IN THAT THEY NEED TO GET IN. AND SO I'M GRATEFUL THAT THE MAYOR CAME OVER AND MET WITH TURNING POINT. ACTUALLY EXTENDED HIS VISIT OVER THERE AND TALKED WITH STAFF AND RESIDENTS ABOUT HOW WE CAN HELP AS A CITY. AND SECONDLY, I KEEP FORGETTING TO DO THIS, BUT I WAS IN THE HOSPITAL FOR ABOUT A WEEK OVER THE FOURTH OF JULY HOLIDAY, AND I WANT TO THANK THE STAFF AT METHODIST HOSPITAL WHO TOOK CARE OF ME. A LOT OF THEM WERE MINNEAPOLIS RESIDENTS. JUST IT COMES TO MIND THAT THERE WAS WARD 10, 12, 6, AND 8 NURSES OR [24:05] NURSING ASSISTANTS WHO RECOGNIZED ME FROM OUR MEETINGS, WHO GAVE ME EXTRA SPECIAL CARE, BECAUSE THEY SAW ME AS SOMEONE WHO'S HELPING TAKE CARE OF THE CITY. AND SO I WANT TO THANK ALL THE STAFF AT METHODIST HOSPITAL FOR THE GREAT CARE THEY GAVE ME FOR A WEEK AND REALLY GOOD JELL-O THEY PROVIDED ME WITH FOR THAT WEEK. IT WAS -- IT'S HARD TO SAY THAT IT WAS A GOOD TIME, BUT IT WAS A REALLY GOOD TIME, GETTING SOME REST AND BEING IN THE HOSPITAL AND BEING CARED FOR. SO THANK YOU, METHODIST HOSPITAL. [24:39] **Andrea Jenkins:** WELL, WE THANK METHODIST HOSPITAL FOR PUTTING YOU BACK TOGETHER. [24:43] **LaTrisha Vetaw:** THANK YOU. [24:44] **Andrea Jenkins:** AND ALL MY COLLEAGUES WHO CAME TO VISIT TOO OR CALLED OR TEXTED, LOTS OF VISITS ALSO. AND WE ARE GLAD THAT YOU ARE HERE WITH US TODAY AND FOR MANY, MANY DAYS TO COME. SO THANK YOU TO THE STAFF AT METHODIST. AND YOU KNOW, HOPEFULLY THE OPIOID SETTLEMENT AND RESOURCES THAT COUNCILMEMBER CHAVEZ MENTIONED WILL HELP TURNING POINT AND OTHER COMMUNITY CENTERS THAT ARE HELPING OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO ARE STRUGGLING WITH ADDICTION ISSUES AND CHALLENGES. [25:28] IT'S A VERY PREVALENT PROBLEM HERE IN MINNEAPOLIS AND ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. AND SO LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT WORK GETTING STARTED. ARE THERE ANY OTHER ANNOUNCEMENTS? SEEING NONE, AND WITHOUT OBJECTION, WE HAVE COMPLETED OUR BUSINESS FOR TODAY AND WITH NOTHING FURTHER TO COME BEFORE THE COUNCIL, THIS MEETING IS ADJOURNED TO TUESDAY, AUGUST 15, AT 11:00 A.M., IN THE COUNCIL CHAMBERS FOR THE PURPOSE OF RECEIVING MAYOR FREY'S 2024 BUDGET ADDRESS. THANK YOU, EVERYONE.
