[21:26] » ALL RIGHT. WELCOME. ALL

[21:26] RIGHT. MELVIN, WELCOME.

[21:29] >> GOOD AFTERNOON, CHAIR OSMAN,

[21:30] » GOOD AFTERNOON, CHAIR OSMAN,

[21:31] MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE. MY

[21:32] NAME IS MELVIN TENANT AND I HAVE

[21:35] THE PLEASURE OF SVING AS THE

[21:39] LEADER OF MEET MINNEAPOLIS AND

[21:40] VISITORS ASSOCIATION. I'M JOINED

[21:43] BY OUR CHAIR, JEFF BARNHARDT,

[21:45] AND WE'RE HERE TO TELL YOU ABOUT

[21:47] THE FIRST YEAR. IT'S BEEN JUST

[21:49] ABOUT A YEAR SINCE WE WERE

[21:51] BEFORE THIS BODY. AND WE SHARED

[21:54] THE VISION AND WE CERTAINLY

[21:55] APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT. AND YOU

[21:57] ALL WERE KIND ENOUGH TO APPROVE

[22:00] TO GIVE YOU FILL IN THE BLANKS

[22:01] AND TO LET YOU KNOW HOW THE

[22:03] FIRST YEAR HAS GONE. SO JEFF AND

[22:10] I WILL DO A BIT OF A TAG TEAM

[22:12] TODAY. I WILL GIVE YOU THE TID

[22:15] BACKGROUND INFORMATION. AND I

[22:17] KNOW YOU'LL RECALL SOME OF THOSE

[22:19] DETAILS. WE'LL ALSO TALK TO YOU

[22:24] ABOUT THE OVERVIEW AND THE

[22:26] TIMELINE TO GET TO THIS POINT.

[22:28] AT WHICH POINT IN TIME I'LL TURN

[22:30] IT OVER TO JEFF TO TALK ABOUT

[22:31] THE DISTRICT AREA. ALSO SOME OF

[22:34] THE SERVICE CHARGE AND

[22:34] MANAGEMENT, THE ACTIVITIES OF

[22:36] THE DISTRICT, AND THEN I'LL

[22:38] RETURN TO TALK ABOUT INCLUSIVE

[22:41] WORKFORCE AND ABOUT RACIAL

[22:42] EQUITY IMPACT. SOME THINGS THAT

[22:44] I KNOW YOULL ASK ABOUT DURING

[22:45] THE COURSE OF THIS PROCESS. SO

[22:57] TOURISM IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT IS

[22:58] A PERFECT EXACT OF A

[23:00] PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP.

[23:01] THESE HAVE EXIED IN THE

[23:03] COUNTRY FOR ABOUT THE LAST 20

[23:05] YEARS.

[23:05] BUT THROUGH THE COURSE OF THE

[23:06] WORK THAT WE'VE DONE WITH THE

[23:09] HOSPITALITY COMMUNITY OVER THE

[23:10] LAST FEW YEARS, WE WERE

[23:12] INSTRUMENTAL IN ESTABLISHING THE

[23:14] ENABLING LEGISLATION F US TO

[23:15] DO THAT, WHICH WE DID. AGAIN,

[23:18] IT'S A PARTNERSHIP THAT PROVIDES

[23:21] SUPPLEMENTAL FUNDING FOR THE

[23:23] COMMUNITY TO AUGMENT THE

[23:25] EXISTING DOLLARS THAT IN THIS

[23:26] CASE THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS IS

[23:29] INVESTING IN OUR TOURISM

[23:31] MARKETING PROGRAM. A NUMBER OF

[23:32] ACTIVITIES ARE INVOLVED. SALES

[23:34] AND MARKETING ACTIVITIES, AND

[23:36] WE'LL GIVE YOU SOME EXAMPLES OF

[23:37] THOSE IN JUST A FEW MOMENTS.

[23:39] MARKETING AND SPECIAL

[23:40] ACTIVITIES. AND OF COURSE, AS I

[23:43] SAID, WE'LL GO ON AND TALK ABOUT

[23:45] SOME OF THE OTHER PROGRAMS.

[23:47] AGAIN, THE TID IS FUNDED BY THE

[23:51] HOTEL INDUSTRY. AND THEY

[23:52] WILLINGLY DID THIS. SO THE FUNDS

[24:00] ARE SPECIFICALLY FOR TOURISM AND

[24:01] THEY'RE CONTROED BY THE HOTEL.

[24:03] AND EVEN THOUGH AS I DID NOT

[24:04] MENTION EARLIER, THIS IS BY

[24:07] STATE STATUTE SOMETHING THAT HAS

[24:09] GIVEN THEM THAT RESPONSIBILI.

[24:10] BUT WE ARE HERE TODAY TO, AGAIN,

[24:13] AS THE LEGISLAON ALLOWED TO

[24:15] PRESENT THIS FOR YOU. THE

[24:19] OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT ALLOCATION

[24:20] AGAIN ARE DETERMINED BY THE

[24:22] HOTELS. I'LL JUST TELL Y THAT

[24:23] JEFF AND HIS COLLEAGUES ARE

[24:25] SPENDING A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF

[24:27] TIME BEINGERY DILIGENT IN THE

[24:29] WAY IN WHICH THEY ARE CHOOSING

[24:32] TO INVEST THESE FUNDS. AND

[24:33] AGAIN, WE TALKED ABOUT THE SALES

[24:34] AND MARKETINGPROGRAMS, THE

[24:37] PROMOTIONS AND THE DIGITAL

[24:39] PRESENCE AND GROUP SALES. THINGS

[24:40] THAT ARE, AGAIN, EXTENSIONS OF

[24:42] THE WORK THAT MEET MINNEAPOLIS

[24:43] HAS BEEN DOING. PUBLIC-PRIVATE

[24:49] PARTNERSHIP. THE ENABLING

[24:50] PORTION OF THIS CAME FROM THE

[24:51] STATE OF MINNESOTA AND THIS

[24:53] BODY, THE MINNEAPOLIS CITY

[24:54] COUNCIL. SO AGAIN, YOU STEPPED

[24:55] UP AND ALLOWED US TO CREATE THIS

[24:58] OPPORTUNITY TO AUGMENT THE

[25:00] MARKETING INITIATIVES THAT WE

[25:02] WERE ALREADY UNDERTAKING. THE

[25:03] HOTEL COMMUNITY, AGAIN, HAD TO

[25:06] MAKE THE CHOICE AS TO WHETHER OR

[25:08] NOT THEY WANTED TO SELF-IMPOSE

[25:09] THIS IN THIS CASE 2% FEE ON THE

[25:12] HOTEL REVENUE. AND WE'RE JUST

[25:15] HAPPY THAT 71% AT THAT TIME OF

[25:17] THE HOTEL COMMUNITY AGREED THAT

[25:18] THEY WANTED TO DO THIS. WE'VE

[25:26] CREATED A GREAT DEAL TO THE

[25:29] HOTEL COMMUNITY. RALLY BEHIND.

[25:31] ESPECIALLY SINCE WE'VE HAD SOME

[25:33] DIFFICULTIES IN OUR COMMUNITY.

[25:34] THE THIRD PART OF THIS

[25:37] PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP IS

[25:37] MEET MINNEAPOLIS. WE ARE THE

[25:39] CHOSEN MARKETING ORGANIZION

[25:40] FOR THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS, AND

[25:43] THE MTID BOARD CHOSE TO WORK

[25:44] WITHS TO BE ABLE TO DO THE

[25:46] WORK, AGAIN, AT THE EXTENSION OF

[25:48] THE MEET MINNEAPOLIS EXISTING

[25:49] PROGRAM OF WORK. SO THE

[25:59] TIMELINE. JUST A QUICK REVIEW.

[26:01] 2018 IS WHEN WE BEGAN THIS

[26:03] DISCUSSION. THE BOARD OF MEET

[26:05] MINNEAPOLISADE THE DECISION

[26:06] THAT WE WANTED TO FIGURE OUT A

[26:08] WAY TO BE ABLE TO INVEST MORE IN

[26:10] OUR COMMUNITY. THAT'S WHEN THIS

[26:14] NUMBER OF GENERAL MANAGERS AND

[26:16] HOTEL LEADERS IN THIS COMMUNITY

[26:17] THAT HAVE WORKED IN OTHER PLACES

[26:19] WHERE TIDs ARE IN EXISTENCE. SO

[26:22] THERE'S A LOT OF SUPPORT FOR IT.

[26:25] FROM 2019 TO 2023 WAS THE

[26:27] LEGISLATIVE PROCESS. WE LOST

[26:29] SOME MOMENTUM, AS YOU CAN

[26:31] IMAGIN DURING THE COVID YEAR.

[26:32] WE DIDN'T MAKE PROGRESS THAT

[26:34] YEAR. BUT ULTIMATELY, IN 2023,

[26:36] IT WAS SIGNED INTO LAW AT THE

[26:37] STATE LEVEL. AND THEN IN 2024

[26:41] THROUGH 2025 IS WHEN WE WENT TO

[26:43] THE PETITIONING PROCS. I

[26:44] MENTIONED THE 71% OF THE HOTELS

[26:46] THAT AGREED TO BE A PART OF

[26:49] THIS. AND THAT IS WHEN WE ALSO

[26:51] CAME TO THIS BODY. AND YOU

[26:54] APPROVED IT UNANIMOUSLY. AND THE

[26:58] MTID INITIALLY CREATED WHAT IS

[27:01] NOW THEIR 9-MEMBER GOVERNANCE

[27:03] COMMITTEE WHICH WORKS AS A

[27:04] SUBSET OF THE MEET MINNEAPOLIS

[27:18] AND THROUGH AUGUST -- AN 2025.

[27:22] SEPTEMBER-AUGU WHEN THAT TOOK

[27:23] PLACE. WE'RE USING A PRIVATE

[27:25] COMPANY TO DO THAT FOR US. FROM

[27:28] 2025 TO THE PRESENT, THE

[27:30] COMMITTEE HAS SET UP PROCESSES

[27:32] TO ALLOW US TO COME TO THEM WITH

[27:35] PAICULAR PROJECTS AND TO BE

[27:37] ABLE TO VET THOSE FOR THE

[27:38] COMMITTEE SO THAT THEY CAN MAKE

[27:40] THE GOOD DECISIONS. AND AGAIN,

[27:42] THEY'VE MADE LOTS AND LOTS OF

[27:43] DECISIONS OVER THATTIME. AND

[27:44] WE'VE AT THAT TIME AS SOON AS

[27:46] THEY MADE THOSE FIRST

[27:50] COMMITMENTS, WE BEGAN TO

[27:51] IMPLEMENT SOME OF THOSE

[27:52] PROGRAMS. WE DID HAVE TO GO BACK

[27:54] TO THE LEGISLATURE THIS YEAR

[27:56] BECAUSE THERE WAS A TECHNICAL

[27:57] ERROR IN THE LEGISLATION THAT

[27:59] THE DEPARTMENT OF RENUE

[28:01] IDENTIFIED THAT WOULD HAVE

[28:04] INADVERTENTLY CREATED A

[28:05] SITUATIO WHERE THE TID FEE

[28:06] WOULD HAVE BEEN TAXED. WE WERE

[28:09] SUCCESSF IN GOING BACK WORKING

[28:10] WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE

[28:11] TO GET THAT CORRECTED. SO WE'RE

[28:13] IN REALLY GOOD SHAPE RIGHT NOW.

[28:18] AND SO AT THIS POINT FOR THE

[28:19] TECHNICAL ASPECT OF HOW THIS

[28:21] WORKS, I'LL TURN IT OVER TO JEFF

[28:23] AND I'LL BE BACK IN JUST A

[28:24] MOMENT TO WRAP UP THE

[28:24] PRESENTATION.

[28:26] >> THANK YOU THANK YOU. I'M

[28:30] » THANK YOU THANK YOU. I'M

[28:31] JEFF BARNHARDT. BEFORE I

[28:33] CONTINUE ON WITH THE

[28:34] PRESENTATION, I JUST WANT TO DO

[28:36] SOME ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. CHAIR

[28:38] OSMAN AND THIS COMMITTEE, WE

[28:41] APPRECIATE AND THE CITY COUNCIL

[28:42] FOR TO DATE REALLY SUPPORTING

[28:43] T

[28:46] MEET MINNEAPOLIS HAS DONE AN

[28:48] EXCELLENT JOB DISPLAYING

[28:51] EXPERTISE AND PROFESSIONALISM

[28:53] EXECUTING OUR WORK PLAN. THERE'S

[28:54] BEEN A LOT OF WORK IN THAT, AND

[28:56] I AEST TO THAT. AND THE OTHER

[29:00] COMMITTEE MEMBERS, THEY'RE ALL

[29:01] VOLUNTEERS. THEY HAVE FULL-TIME

[29:03] JOBS. AND I THINKE ALL REALLY

[29:07] INTRINSICALLY CARE ABOUT HELPING

[29:08] MINNEAPOLIS. PERSONALLY, I WAS

[29:09] BORN HERE. I WENT TO U OF M. MY

[29:12] ENTIRE CAREER HASEEN IN

[29:14] MINNEAPOLIS, MINNEAPOLIS PROPER.

[29:14] SO I REALLY CARE ABOUT THE CITY

[29:16] AND WE'RE TRYING TO DOUR BEST

[29:18] TO GET A PEP IN ALL OUR STEPS

[29:20] HERE. CONTINUE ON WITH THE

[29:22] PRESENTATION. AS YOU CAN SEE

[29:24] HERE, ALL HOTELS WITH 50 OR MORE

[29:26] ROOMS ARE SELF-OPTED INTO THIS

[29:29] FEE. CURRENT THERE'S 48

[29:32] HOTELS. YOU CAN SEE ON THE

[29:34] DISTRICT BOUNDARY, THAT'S

[29:37] MINNEAPOLIS PROPER. I

[29:38] APPRECIATED COUNCIL MEMBE

[29:39] WONSLEY, SHE'S MY COUNCIL

[29:40] MEMBER. SHE HELPED PETITION FOR

[29:44] GEOGRAPHICAL REPRESENTATION

[29:45] EARLY ON AND IS PROBABLY THE

[29:46] REASON I'M STANDING HERE. THE

[29:50] MANAGEMENT IS THE NINE COMMITTEE

[29:50] MEMBERS. AND WE'RE VOLUEERS.

[29:56] WE WERE HOWEVER VOTED IN LAST

[29:58] YEAR BY THE OWNERSHIP OF THE

[30:01] HOTELS. SO THAT WAS A GOOD

[30:02] PARTICIPATION TO GET TO THIS

[30:03] POINT. WE BASICALLY -- WE'VE

[30:07] PROBABLY MET OVER 30 TIMES THIS

[30:08] PAST YEAR FOR AN HOUR AND A HALF

[30:10] EACH TIME. SO IF YOU TALK ABOUT

[30:12] THE AMOUNT OF EFFORT THIS WEN

[30:13] IN TO ESTABLISHING THIS,

[30:14] FIGURING THINGS OUT, THEN WE

[30:15] HAVE TO REPORT BACK TO THE BODY,

[30:18] IT'S PRETTY INTENSE AND THERE'S

[30:19] A LOT OF PREAMBLE AND POST WORK

[30:21] RELATED TO THAT. BUT WE KIND OF

[30:24] COME UP WITH THE PLAN, AND THEN

[30:27] EXPERT EXECUTOR ON THAT. WE HAVE

[30:31] FULL AUTHORITY TO MANAGE ALL THE

[30:33] MATTERS RELATED TO THE MTID AS

[30:36] WE ILLUSTRATED, THERE'S A 2%

[30:40] FEE. SOMETHING TO JUST KNOW IS

[30:42] THAT YOU KNOW, THIS GOES -- THIS

[30:44] LOOKS LIKE AN ADDITIONAL TAX.

[30:45] IT'S A FEE. BUT YOU KNOW, AT THE

[30:47] END OF THE DAY, THERE'S I THINK

[30:51] ALMOST 17% OF TAXES COMING OFF,

[30:56] FEES COMING OFF EVERY DOLLAR

[30:57] THAT'S SPENT IN OUR HOTELS. SO

[30:59] THAT'S KIND OF A HIGH RATE AND

[31:05] WE NEED TO MANAGE THAT. LET'S

[31:09] SEE. YEAH. SO THE ORIGINAL TERM

[31:12] FIVE YEARS, WE HAVE TO GO BACK

[31:15] AND REPETITION THE OWNERSHIP. SO

[31:17] PEFULLY WE'VE DONE A GREAT JOB

[31:19] AND EVERYBODY SEES THE MERIT IN

[31:20] WHAT WE'VE DONE IN THE FIRST

[31:22] FIVE YEARS MANAGED BY THE

[31:24] COMMITTEE, AND AGAIN,EET

[31:26] MINNEAPOLIS EXECUTES THE PLAN.

[31:28] MEETING WEEKLY FOR A LONG TIME.

[31:29] D I THINK NOW WE'VE GONE DOWN

[31:31] TO MONTHLY MEETINGS. B THERE'S

[31:34] NOW WE'RE ACTIVE AROUND OUR

[31:36] MEETINGS. SO THERE'S A LOT OF

[31:37] WORK ON THE SIDE. AND HERE WE

[31:39] ARE FOR THE ANNUAL REPORT. AND

[31:41] REALLY, KIND OF WHAT WE'RE ALL

[31:43] HERE FOR IS HOW DO WE USE THE

[31:45] FUNDS. SO YOU CAN SEEALES

[31:48] MARKETING PR, SPECIAL PROJECTS,

[31:50] ACTIVATION, WORKFCE

[31:55] STUFF, ADMINISTRATION, AND FUN

[31:58] CONTINGENCY STUFF. ULTIMATELY,

[32:00] WE'RE TRYING TO GET MORE

[32:01] OVERNIGHT VISITATION. THIS IS

[32:09] THE YEAR ONE AUTHORIZE

[32:11] INVESTMENTS. WE'RE TRYING TO

[32:13] SPEND IN LINE WITH WHAT THE

[32:15] ANNUAL COLLECTION IS. SO YOUAN

[32:17] SEE IT'S BROKEN OUT HERE INTO

[32:19] SEVERAL DIFFERENT CATEGORIES.

[32:20] AGAIN, I'LL JUST REITERATE, THIS

[32:23] IS PRETTY NORMAL STUFF FOR TIDs

[32:26] TO BE ALLOCATING THEIR

[32:29] PROPORTIONAL SPE ON. SOME OF

[32:30] THE SPECIFICS TO GET INTO THAT

[32:32] ARE EXCITING IS WE, OF COURSE,

[32:34] WANT TO FILL UP THE CONVENTION

[32:36] CENTER. SO IT'S IMPORTANT THAT

[32:37] MEETING PLANNERS WANT TO BOOK

[32:39] THEIR MEETINGS AND EVENTS HERE.

[32:40] SO WE'RE OFFERING ADDITIONAL

[32:42] REBATES AND TRYING TO FIND WAYS

[32:44] TO REACH OUT AND, YOU KNOW, HOST

[32:47] THEIR MEETING PLANNERS SO THEY

[32:49] WANT TO HOST THEIR CONFERENCES

[32:53] HERE. THE NFLDRAFT IS HERE.

[32:56] THAT'S A HUGE EVENT. WE GET TO

[32:57] LOOK FORWARD TO IT FOR A COUPLE

[32:59] OF YEARS, WCH IS EXCITING FOR

[33:00] US. DURING THE EVENT, THERE'S

[33:01] GOING TO BE HUNDREDS OF

[33:03] THOUSANDS OF VISITORS HERE. THE

[33:05] MAIN EVENT IS FREE. IT'S GOING

[33:07] TO BE RIGHT AT THE COMMONS PARK.

[33:10] ANYBODY CAN COME. WE THINK

[33:12] THAT'S PRETTY COOL AND

[33:15] REACHABLE. UNDER THE MARKETING,

[33:17] WE'VE HAD AN AGENCY OF RECORD

[33:18] HERE WHICH IS GOING TO HELP JUST

[33:20] ENSURE THAT ALL THE MESSAGING

[33:22] AND STUFF THAT WE'RE DOING THAT

[33:23] COMES OUT O THE TID HAS SOME

[33:27] COMMONALITY AND THEME BEHIND IT.

[33:31] CAMPAIGNS. YOU CAN SEE RIGHT

[33:32] THERE. AND WE'VE DONE SOME SHOW

[33:34] UP AND STAY OVER CAMPAIGNS JUST

[33:36] CREATED SPECIFICALLY TO INCREASE

[33:39] OVERNIGHT VISITATION. SO THERE'S

[33:41] SEVEL DIFFERENT CATEGORIES IN

[33:42] EACH ONE OF THESE THAT WE'RE

[33:45] TRYING TO TARGET TO DRIVE

[33:47] OVERNIGHT VISITATION. WE'RE NOT

[33:48] DOING ONE THING. MEET

[33:49] MINNEAPOLIS IS ECUTING LIKE 20

[33:52] DIFFERENT INITIATIVES

[33:53] SIMULTANEOUSLY, WHICH IS PRETTY

[33:56] PROJECTS AND ACTIVATIONS. YOU

[33:58] CAN SEE HERE, SAVANNAH BANANAS

[34:01] IS IN TOWN. THAT'S NEW TO THIS

[34:03] MARKET. THAT'S PRETTY COOL. IT'S

[34:06] REALLY FAMILY-ORIENTED EVENT.

[34:10] THIS IS HOW THE TID IS HELPING

[34:14] SISTER INDUSTRIES.ICHELIN IS

[34:18] TRYING TO UP THE PRILE. SQUARE

[34:21] ROOTS IS A WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT

[34:24] THAT IS ING TO DEVELOP THE

[34:28] CHEFS, THE NEXT CHEFS FOR THE

[34:29] CITY. WE HOPEHAT A LOT OF THEM

[34:30] END UP WORKING IN OUR LOCAL

[34:32] RESTAURANTS AND HOTELS. AND THEN

[34:38] THE TWO OTHER BUCKETS IS JUST,

[34:40] YOU KNOW, THERE'S COSTS

[34:42] ASSOCIATED WITH IT,

[34:43] ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTIONS.

[34:46] THE FUNDS. SO WE HAVE SOME OF

[34:49] CONTINGENCY AND VISITORS. THAT'S

[34:50] HOW WE ARE USING THE FUNDS. SO I

[34:55] THINK MELVIN IS GOING TO TAKE IT

[34:57] THE REST OF THE WAY. THANKS.

[35:01] >> LET ME JUST ALSO JUST REALLY

[35:04] » LET ME JUST ALSO JUST REALLY

[35:04] REITERATE THE FACT THAT THIS

[35:05] GROUP HAS DONE SO MUCH WORK. AND

[35:08] IT'S REPRESENTATIVE OF NOT JUST

[35:11] HOTEL LEADERS BUT ACTUALLY HOTEL

[35:12] OWNERS. SO THEY HAVE A SENSE OF

[35:14] DUTY AS TO HOW THESE DOLLARS ARE

[35:16] EXPEND. SO I CERTAINLY WANT TO

[35:20] COMPLIMENT THEM FOR THEIR

[35:21] WILLINGNESS TO BE A PART OF THIS

[35:22] PROCESS. WE'VE BEEN AT IT A YEAR

[35:26] AND WE KNOW THAT ONE OF THE

[35:27] PRIORITIES IS TO MAK SURE THAT

[35:29] WE ARE MINDFUL OF HOW WE CAN

[35:31] HAVE AN INCLUSIVE WORKFORCE.

[35:34] BECAUSE WE WANT A WORKFORCE THAT

[35:36] REPRESENTS O COMMUNITY. AND WE

[35:39] ARE VERY OPTIMISTIC ABOUT WHAT

[35:41] THE MTID WILL DO OVER THE COMING

[35:43] YEARS. BUT I JUST WANTED TO GIVE

[35:46] YOU A LITTLE SNAP SHOT OF WHERE

[35:49] WE ARE. 2019, WE HAD JUST ABOUT

[35:53] 36,000 HOSPITALITY EMPLOYEES

[35:55] HERE IN OUR COMMUNITY. AND AS

[35:57] YOU CAN SEE FROM 2025, THA

[35:59] NUMBER DECLINED. THAT'S REALLY

[36:01] INDICATIVE OF THE FACT THAT OUR

[36:03] COMMUNITY, OUR HOSPITALITY

[36:04] COMMUNITY HAS NOT RECOVERED AS

[36:05] WELL AS SOME OF THE OTHER

[36:07] CITIES. SO WE ARE VERY MINDFUL

[36:09] OF THE FACT THAT THIS GAP OF

[36:10] INDIVIDUALS WE NEED TO TRY TO

[36:12] CLOSE THAT GAP. AND MANY OF THE

[36:14] ACTIVITIES BEING DONE BY THE

[36:16] MTID WILL HELP TO ADDRESS THAT.

[36:18] I'LL EVEN TELL YOU FURTHER IT'S

[36:19] NOT ON THIS PARTICULAR SLIDE,

[36:21] BUT IT DECLINED IN THE FIRST

[36:23] QUARTER OF THIS YEAR, INDICATIVE

[36:26] OF PROBABLY WHAT OPERATION METRO

[36:28] SURGE DID. THIS IS A HEAT MAP

[36:36] REPRESENTING A -- A

[36:38] REPRESENTATIVE SAMPLE OF

[36:39] HOSPITALITY WORKERS IN

[36:40] MINNEAPOLIS. SO 73% OF THE

[36:43] PEOPLE WORKING HERE ACTUALLY

[36:44] LIVE HERE. AND SO WE HAVE A GOOD

[36:47] CROSS SECTION, ABOUT A THIRD OF

[36:50] THE TOTAL EMPLOYEES SHOWS YOU

[36:53] WHERE THEY LIVE AS IT REPRESENTS

[36:55] THE VARIOUS WARDS IN THE CITY.

[36:58] WE HAVE HOSPITALITY EMPLOYEES

[36:59] THAT ARE SPREAD THROUGHOUT THE

[37:00] CITY. THEY ARE VERY MUCH A PART

[37:01] OF THE COMMUNITY A WE VERY

[37:03] MUCH VALUE THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS

[37:04] TO OUR INDUSTRY. WE DO A NBER

[37:11] OF PROJECTS ALREADY. WE WORK

[37:13] VERY CLOSELY WITH HOSPITALITY

[37:14] MINNESOTA. THEY HAVE A NUMBER OF

[37:16] WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT

[37:17] INITIATIVES THAT WE'VE SUPPORTED

[37:18] OVER THE YEARS AND CONTINUE TO

[37:20] DO SO THROUGH THE TID. AS JEFF

[37:24] MEIONED, SQUARE ROOTS IS IN

[37:25] THE PROCESS OF OPENING ON LAKE

[37:27] STREET. AND THERE WILL BE A LOT

[37:28] OF OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE

[37:29] DEVELOPMENT OF NEW TALENT WITHIN

[37:32] THE HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY. AND

[37:34] HOPEFULLY MANY OF THOSE TALENTED

[37:35] INDIVIDUALS WILL CHOOSE TO MAKE

[37:37] THEIR LIVING HERE AND HOPEFULLY

[37:40] OPEN BUSINESSES ANDE VERY

[37:42] SUPPORTIVE OF WHAT WE DO. AGAIN,

[37:44] WE CONTINUE TO MAKE SIGNIFICANT

[37:46] INVESTMENTS IN THE HOSPITALITY

[37:47] WORKFORCE THROUGH MANY MEANS.

[37:53] AND WITH THAT, WE'LL PAUSE AND

[37:55] SEE WHAT QUESTIONS WE MIGHT BE

[39:51] OCCUPANCIES. I MENTIONED

[39:53] EARLIER, OUR COMMUNITY HAS

[39:55] LAGGED BEHIN OTHERS ACROSS THE

[39:57] COUNTRY IN TERMS OF RECOVERY. SO

[41:27] » THANK YOU, CHAIR OSMAN. I

[41:28] JUST HAVE ONE QUESTION. IT'S

[41:29] ABOUT SLIDE NUMBER 21. JUST

[41:34] CURIOUS ABOUT THE DATA O THE

[41:37] HOSPITALITY WKFORCE

[41:39] MINNEAPOLIS. INOW THAT I'M

[41:40] TRYING TO UNDERSTAND HOW TO READ

[41:43] THIS SLIDE. THERE'S CIRCLES AND

[41:46] THEN NUMBERS, AND THEN I'M

[41:48] ASMING IF IT'S ONE, TWO,

[41:50] THREE, FOUR. I GUESS IF YOU CAN

[41:52] EXPLAIN THAT. A IF WE CAN GET

[41:54] ACCESS TO THE DATA JUST BECAUSE

[41:55] I WOULD LIKE TO SEE WHAT IT

[41:56] LOOKS LIKE ACROSSHE CITY AND

[41:58] WHERE FOLKS ARE LIVING AT THAT

[41:59] ARE IN THE HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY.

[42:02] >> MAY I, COUNCIL MEMBER CHAVEZ,

[42:06] » MAY I, COUNCIL MEMBER CHAVEZ,

[42:07] ASK SANDY CHRISTENSEN FROM OUR

[42:09] TEAM TO CLARIFY.

[42:10] YEAH. THANK YOU.

[42:11] >> CHAIR OSMAN, COUNCIL MEMBER

[42:12] » CHAIR OSMAN, COUNCIL MEMBER

[42:12] CHAVEZ, THANK YOU FOR THAT

[42:16] QUESTION. THE CHART OR THE

[42:17] GRAPHIC THAT YOU SEE ON THE

[42:18] SLID BEFORE YOU IS THE RESULT

[42:20] OF A SURVEY THAT WE DID OF THE

[42:22] HOTELS WHO ARE MEMBERS OF THE

[42:25] MINNEAPOLIS TOURISM IMPROVEMENT

[42:26] DISTRICT. AND IN THAT SURVEY, WE

[42:28] MERELY ASKED FOR THE Z CODES

[42:32] OF THE EMPLOYEES WITHIN THEIR

[42:34] ESTABLISHMENT BECAUSE WE DIDN'T

[42:35] WANT ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION.

[42:37] SO THERE'S NO INDIVIDUAL

[42:39] ADDRESSE AND WE DID GET

[42:41] INFORMATION FROM 22 OF THE 48

[42:44] HOTELS. AND OF THOSE RESPONSES

[42:47] THAT REPRESENTED 11,007

[42:53] EMPLOYEES. AND TAKING THE ZIP

[42:55] CODE PROVIDED BY EACH EMPLOE

[42:57] IN THEIR RESPONSES, THEY'RE

[42:59] MAPPED OUT BASED UPON THE NUMBER

[43:01] EMPLOYEES WHO ARE IN THE

[43:03] SPECIFIC ZIP CODE. AND THEN THE

[43:04] NUMBERS THAT ARE REFLECTED ON

[43:07] THERE OF COURSE ARE THE WARD

[43:09] NUMBERS. IF YOU LOOK ON THE

[43:11] LOWER CENTER PORTION, BIG CIRCLE

[43:15] THAT REPRESENTS ABOUT 600, OVER

[43:17] 600 PEOPLE. IF YOU THI ABOUT

[43:18] THE SIZES OF THE CIRCLES ARE

[43:21] REPRESENTATIVE OF THE NUMBE OF

[43:23] PEOPLE WHO ARE IN THAT ZIP CODE,

[43:25] IT GETS US THAT TO

[43:26] REPRESENTATION OF ABOUT 8,000.

[43:28] NOW WE THINK THAT IT'S A GOOD

[43:30] REPRESENTATIVE SAMPLE OF A OF

[43:31] THE HOLS. SO I WOULD JUST SEE

[43:33] THAT THESE CIRCLES WOULD EITHER

[43:35] BECOME BIGGER OR DARKER RED IF

[43:37] WE OVERLAID RESPONSES FROM THE

[43:39] OTHER FACILITIES.

[43:40] >> THANK YOU. APPRECIATE IT.

[43:50] GIVING US THE PRESENTATION, YOU

[43:52] AND YOUR TEAM. THIS WAS

[43:55] SOMETHING WE PASSED AND NOW WE

[43:57] HAVE NEW COUNCIL MEMBERS WHO ARE

[43:59] LEARNING THE FIRST TIME WHAT

[44:01] THIS PROGRAM IS ABOUT. COULD YOU

[44:03] TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT,

[44:06] YOU KNOW, AS YOU WERE STARTING,

[44:10] THE MERT SURGE HAPPENED, AND

[44:12] THAT WAS A HUGE AFFECT AND

[44:14] ECONOMIC FOR OUR CITY.

[44:16] ESPECIALLY HOTELS, PEOPLE WERE

[44:18] NOT VISITING OUR CITY. SO HOW

[44:20] DID THAT AFFECT? AND ALSOHE

[44:23] FOLLOW-UQUESTION. IF WE HAD

[44:25] THINGS LIKE METRO SURGE, COVID,

[44:27] HOW DOES THAT KIND OF THING

[44:30] AFFECT IN THIS PROGRAM OR THIS

[44:34] HOSPITALITY WORKFORCE PROGRAM

[44:35] OVERALL? HOW DO YOU MNTAIN THE

[44:38] CONTINUING OF THIS PROGRAM?

[44:40] >> CHAIR OSMAN, MEMBERS OF THE

[44:43] » CHAIR OSMAN, MEMBERS OF THE

[44:43] COMMITE, WE OBVIOUSLY DID NOT

[44:46] ANTICIPATE OPERATION METRO

[44:47] SURGE. MR. BARNHARDT A I WERE

[44:50] JUST SPEAKING ABOUT THAT THE

[44:52] OTHER Y. VERY THANKFUL THAT

[44:55] YOU APPROVED THIS LEGISLATION

[44:56] WHEN YOU DID BECAUSE IF WE HAD

[44:59] NOT HAD THESE NEW DOLLARS COMIN

[45:01] IN, WE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A LOT

[45:03] WORSE SHAPE RIGHT NOW. WE'RE

[45:05] STILL, AS I SAID, IN RECOVERY

[45:08] MODE. NOW THAT WE'RE BEYOND THAT

[45:11] FIRST QUARTER AND BEGINNING TO

[45:12] MAKE SOME HAY, YOU THINK YOU'RE

[45:15] REFLECTIVE OF ACTIVITIES THAT

[45:16] WE'RE DOING THAT HELP FOR THE

[45:18] MOMENT. WE'RE DOING IMMEDIATE

[45:20] ACTIVITIES SUCH AS WE'RE DOING A

[45:22] SUMMER DIGITAL MARKETING

[45:23] CAMPAIGN THAT'S IN THE MARKET

[45:24] RIGHT NOW. BUT WE'RE ALSO

[45:26] WORKING LONGER TERM FOR A

[45:28] BROADER BRAND MARKETING CAMPAIGN

[45:30] TO REINTROCE OURSELVES TO THE

[45:32] MARKETPLACE. IT'S GOING TO BE

[45:33] OUT NEXT SPRING. SO WE'REOING

[45:36] DO OUR WORK AND BEING PRESENT IN

[45:38] THE MARKETPLACE. PERHAPS JEFF,

[45:40] WOULD YOU CARE TO TALK ABOUT

[45:41] THAT AS LL?

[45:42] >> I'D BE HAPPY TO STEP IN.

[45:44] » I'D BE HAPPY TO STEP IN.

[45:44] THANKS, AGAIN, CHAIR OSMAN AND

[45:46] COUNCIL MEMBERS. MINNEAPOLIS HAS

[45:49] NO RECOVERED AS WELL AS SOME OF

[45:53] THE OTHER WHAT WE CALL PEER

[45:55] CITIES TT WE COMPARE OURSELVES

[45:57] TO SINCE COVID. WE HAD THE

[46:00] RIOTS, WHICH OTHER CITIES DIDN'T

[46:01] HAVE. AND THEN OPERATION METRO

[46:03] SURGE WAS OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING

[46:04] THAT OER CITIES DIDN'T HAVE.

[46:05] WE HAD TO OVERCOME MORE. AND FOR

[46:10] PRIOR TO OPERATION METRO SUE,

[46:12] YOU KNOW, MINNEAPOLISAS NEEDED

[46:14] TO CONTINUE ITS RECOVERY. I

[46:16] THINK WE HAD A PRETTY GOOD 2024.

[46:19] AND 2025 WAS DOWN A LITTLE BIT.

[46:20] WHICH WAS CONCERNING. SO IT WAS

[46:22] GREAT TIMING THAT THE TID BE,

[46:27] YOU KNOW, BECAME ITSELF. RIGHT

[46:29] WHEN WE STARTEDSSESSING THE

[46:31] FEE, WE WANTED TO START SPENDING

[46:34] THOSE DOLLARS TO REGAIN MARKET

[46:36] SHARE. WEENT THROUGH WHAT WE

[46:37] WENT THROUGH EARLIER IN THE

[46:38] YEAR.RIOR TO THAT, WE HAD

[51:37] GUIDE. THE THING THAT IS A SUPER

[51:39] BIG POSITIVE AND I'M BUMMED

[51:42] ABOUT IS THE SAVANNAH BANANAS, I

[51:46] DIDN'T REALIZE THEY WERE COMING

[51:47] AND EVERYTHING IS SOLD OUT. ALL

[51:49] THREE DAYS ARE SOLD OUT. GREAT

[51:51] JOB ON THAT. PLEASE BRING THEM

[53:35] EVENTS. MAYBE WE DIDN'T G IT

[53:38] QUITE IN ORDER FOR PRIDE THIS

[53:39] YEAR, 2026. BUT WE'RE THINKING

[53:41] ALL OF THESE EVENTS IN 2027 ARE

[53:43] GOING TO HAVE STRONGER MEDIA

[53:45] STRENGTH BEHIND THEM, WHICH WE

[53:46] THINK IS GOING TO BE AWESOME TO

[54:21] MINNESOTA COMING IN OR OTHER

[54:22] PARTS OF THE MIDWEST WHERE THEY

[54:24] DON'T FEEL LIKE THAT IS A PLACE

[54:25] WHERE THEY GET TO BE OUT AND

[55:18] SAY THANK YOU TO E TID

[55:20] COMMITTEE FOR ALL THIS INITIAL

[55:23] INVESTMENT OF TIME. HUGE INITIAL

[55:25] INVESTMENT OF TIME. AND THE

[55:26] SERIOUSNESS WITH WHICH YOU HAVE

[55:27] ALLY TAKEN THIS ROLE OF

[55:30] SETTING THE FOUNDATION AS THE

[55:31] FIRST TID COMMITTEE TO REALLY

[55:33] SET A STRONG FOUNDATION FOR ALL

[55:35] THAT'S TO COME AS WE ROLL OUT

[55:38] THIS NEW TAXING AUTHORITY. SO

[55:39] THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR HARD

[55:41] WORK. A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS.

[55:43] NUMBER ONE, HAVE YOU SEEN YOUR

[55:47] OCCUPANCY RATES RISING SINCE TID

[55:51] HAS UNLEASHED ITSELF? IS IT

[55:53] STARTING TO TND UPWARD FROM

[55:55] WHERE YOU WERE? I KNOW WE'RE

[55:58] STILL KIND OF DIGGING OURSELVES

[56:00] OUT OF THE HOLE SO TO SPEAK FROM

[56:03] PREVIOUS YEARS. DO YOU SEE ANY

[56:07] ?

[56:07] >> THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION.

[56:09] » THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION.

[56:09] ON A SUSTAINED LEVEL, OUR

[56:12] OCCUPANCY STILL IS LAGGING YEAR

[56:14] TO DATE. ON WEEKENDS, WHEN WE

[56:16] HAVE MAJOR EVENTS AND

[56:18] CONVENTIONS IN TOWN THAT

[56:21] CONVERGE AND CREATE THE

[56:22] DEPRESSION, WE SEE AN INCREASE.

[56:25] THIS PAST JUNE AND JULY WERE

[56:26] VERY, VERY STRONG MONTHS FOR US

[56:28] FOR OCCUNCY. AND AVERAGE DAILY

[56:36] RATE HENCE REV PAR WERE RISING.

[56:38] WE'VE DONE MH BETTER ON THE

[56:41] REV PAR SIDE THAN OCCUPANCY.

[56:44] WHEN WE CONVERGE, THAT'S WHEN WE

[56:46] CAN MAKE HAY. WHERE WE STILL LAG

[56:49] IS THE REDUCTION OF BUSINESS

[56:50] TRAVEL THAT OCCURRED FOLLOWING

[56:53] E PANDEMIC. AND SO ONCEHAT

[56:55] RETURNS, SINCE THAT HAS NOT

[56:57] RETURN, WE ARE MUCH MORE

[56:59] RELIANT ON SPECIAL EVENTS AND

[57:01] CONVTIONS. AND THAT'S WHY

[57:02] WE'RE WORKING HARD TO FILL THE

[57:04] GAP.

[57:04] >> YUP. THAT'S GREAT. AND THEN I

[57:06] » YUP. THAT'S GREAT. AND THEN I

[57:06] HAD A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS ON

[57:08] SLIDES 20 AND 21. IF WE COULD

[57:10] JUST QUICKLY PULL THOSE UP

[57:11] AGAIN. OBVIOUSLY, WE'RE REALLY

[57:14] EXCITED ABOUT DRIVING REVENUE

[57:15] FOR THE CITY. AND DRIVING

[57:18] REVENUE FOROME OF THESE

[57:19] OCCUPANCY RATES. BUT ALSO I

[57:26] REALLY AM GRATEFUL THAT YOU

[57:29] INCLUDED THESE TWO SLIDES

[57:30] BECAUSE NOT ONLY REVEN AND

[57:33] OCCUPANCY RATES, ET CETERA, BUT

[57:35] YOU'RE DRIVING ACTUAL JOBS FOR

[57:37] OUR RESIDENTS, RIGHT? SO I

[57:39] REALLY APPRECIATE THAT SEEING

[57:40] THE MAP.

[57:41] >> DO YOU WANT THIS SLIDE OR THE

[57:42] » DO YOU WANT THIS SLIDE OR THE

[57:42] NEXT ONE?

[57:43] >> THIS ONE IS GREAT TO START

[57:45] » THIS ONE IS GREAT TO START

[57:45] WITH. ON THIS SLIDE, SEEING THAT

[57:47] DECREASE, IT SEEMS A LITTLE MORE

[57:49] SLIGHT THAN WHAT THE FEDERAL

[57:51] RESERVE REPORTED FOR

[57:51] ACCOMMODATION JOB DECREASES IN

[57:55] MID-MAY. SO I'M CURIOUS, YOU

[57:57] OW, IF YOU SAW THAT REPORT AND

[57:59] DO YOU FEEL THAT WAS A LITTLE

[58:01] INFLATED COMPARED TO THESE

[58:02] NUMBERS? I MEAN, I GUESS MAYBE

[58:05] JUST TO YOUR CONFIDENCE IN THIS.

[58:07] BECAUSE I THINK THIS PERCENTAGE,

[58:09] I THINK THEY SAID ABOUT 17%

[58:13] DECREASE IN AOMMODATION JOBS.

[58:14] I'M SURE THAT'S PROBABLY THE

[58:15] RESTAURANTS AND THE WORKERS IN

[58:17] THE HOTEL BOTH. SO IS THIS, I

[58:21] MEAN, I'M JUST WONDERING ABOUT

[58:23] THAT DIFFERENTIAL BETWEEN WHAT

[58:24] YOU'RE PRESENTING AND WHAT THAT

[58:26] REPORT WAS OUT. AND MAYBE IT'S

[58:27] NOT THAT MUCH OF A DIFFERENCE

[58:30] THAT WE'RE WORRIED ABOUT IT. BUT

[58:31] I'M JUST EXCITED THAT IF, YOU

[58:35] KNOW, MAYBE WE'RE TRENDING EVEN

[58:38] BETTER SINCE THAT REPORT CAME

[58:38] OUT.

[58:44] >> CHAIR OSMAN, COUNCIL MEMBER

[58:45] » CHAIR OSMAN, COUNCIL MEMBER

[58:45] SHAFFER, I WILL ATTEMPT TO

[58:46] ANSWER THAT QUESTION. FIRST, I

[58:50] DATA REFLECTED ON THIS SLIDE IS

[58:54] AS OF 2025, AND I BELIEVE THAT

[58:56] MELVIN ALLUDED TO EARLIER THAT

[58:59] THE FIRST QUARTER OF '26 WAS

[59:03] SIGNIFICANTLY WORSE THAN WHAT IT

[59:05] HERE. AND ALSO, TOO, I'LL

[59:07] REFER TO THE FEDERAL RESERVE IS

[59:10] MORE OF A REGIONAL REPORT. BUT

[59:13] TO THAT POINT, I THINK IS MORE

[59:14] OF A TIMING ISSUE THAT THE DATA

[59:17] THAT WE HAVE HERE AVAILABLE IS

[59:19] SLIGHTLY DATED AND THAT WHAT YOU

[59:21] WOULD SEE IF WE WERE TO PULL THE

[59:23] Q1 REPORT FROM DEED WOULD BE

[59:25] LOWER.

[59:25] >> THANK YOU. I JUST FOR SOME

[59:28] » THANK YOU. I JUST FOR SOME

[59:28] REASON FORGOT IT WAS 2025 VERSUS

[59:29] 2026. THANK YOU FOR REMINDING ME

[59:31] OF THAT. I JUST WANT TO POINT

[59:34] THAT OUT BECAUSEHIS IS

[59:35] SOMETHING THAT I THINK IS A REAL

[59:38] OPPORTUNITY FOR US IS TO FIGURE

[59:39] T HOW WE CAN TRY -- BECAUSE WE

[59:41] DIRECTLY SAW ON YOUR NEXT SLIDE

[59:43] THESE JOBS ARE JOBS FOR OUR

[59:47] RESIDENTS. IF WE'RE SEEING 15%

[59:50] DECREASE, 17% DECREASE IN OUR

[59:52] HOTEL JO, THAT MEANS LESS JOBS

[59:53] FOR OUR RESIDENTS. SO I JUST

[59:54] WANTED TO POINT OUT THAT

[59:56] CORRELATION AND HOW IMPTANT

[59:57] THAT IS. AND OF COURSE IN THAT

[59:59] SAME REPORT WHEN THEY POINT TO

[1:00:00] THE DECREASES IN THE FULL-TIME

[1:00:02] RESTAURANT AND PART-TIME

[1:00:04] RESTAURANT LOSS OF JOBS, IT'S

[1:00:06] EVEN HIGHER. 35%, 34%. SOE

[1:00:09] HAVE TO GET OUR THOUGHT PROCESS

[1:00:11] GOING AROUND THAT AND BE ALL IN

[1:00:13] ON HOW WE CAN DRIVE THAT THE

[1:00:15] OTHER DIRECTION BECAUSE WE NEED

[1:00:18] THOSE JOBS FOR OUR RESIDENTS. SO

[1:00:19] I JUST WANTED TO POINT OUT THESE

[1:00:21] TWO SLIDES. POINT OUT THAT

[1:00:23] INFORMATION AND JUST TELL YOU

[1:00:25] THANK YOU FOR INCLUDING THOSE

[1:00:26] O SLIDES. AND ONE OTHER THING,

[1:00:29] IS THEICHELIN INVESTMENT AN

[1:00:31] ANNUAL ONE OR A MULTI-YEAR?

[1:07:53] COVER OUR PGRESS AND

[1:07:55] IMPLEMENTATION AS WELL AS

[1:07:57] PROVIDE DATA ABOUT RENTAL

[1:07:58] CENSE

[1:08:00] ABOUT CHANGES TO RENTAL

[1:08:01] LICENSING TIERING. BEFORE

[1:08:08] ADDRESSING THE LEGISLATIVE

[1:08:09] DIRECTIVES QUESTIONS, I'D LIKE

[1:08:10] TO PROVIDE A BRIEF OVERVIEW

[1:08:12] ABOUT THAT TIERING SYSTEM THAT

[1:08:13] WE HAVE. THE CITY'S RENTAL

[1:08:15] LICEE PROGRAM IS FAIRLY UNIQUE

[1:08:19] IN THAT WE CATORIZE RENTAL

[1:08:21] PROPERTIES INTO TIERS. THE TIER

[1:08:23] IMPACTS HOW FREQUENTLY WE

[1:08:26] INSPECT THE PROPERTY AND RENTA

[1:08:28] LICENSE FEES. TRANSPARENCY ABOUT

[1:08:30] THE PLACES THEY CALL HOME, AND

[1:08:32] IT'SESIGNED TO HELP THE CITY

[1:08:34] DEDICATE MORE ATTENTION TO THE

[1:08:35] PROPERTIES THAT NEED IT MOST.

[1:08:37] THE PROPERTY CONDITION TIER IS

[1:08:41] RECORDS THAT WE HAVE FROM BOTH

[1:08:44] PROACTIVE AND COMPLAINT-BASED

[1:08:47] INSPECTIONS. BASED ON INSPECTION

[1:08:49] HISTORY, PROPERTIES I TIER ONE

[1:08:50] ARE PRESUMED TO HAVE THE FEWEST

[1:08:52] NUMBER OF CODE VIOLATIONS. WE

[1:08:55] PLAN INSPECTIONS FOR TIER 1

[1:08:57] PROPERTIES EVERY EIGHT YEARS.

[1:09:00] YOU'LL ALSO NOTICE THERE'S A

[1:09:01] TIER 1D CATEGORY. STANDS FOR

[1:09:03] DEFAULT. THAT'S THE CATEGORY FOR

[1:09:04] PROPERTIES THAT ARE LICENSED FOR

[1:09:05] THE FIRST TIME AND HAVE NOT Y

[1:09:07] HAD AN INSPECTION. CANDIDLY WE

[1:09:13] KNOW THAT THE NAME CAUSES

[1:09:14] CONFUSION. TIER 1D PROPERTIES

[1:09:16] ARE NOT THE SAME AS TIER 1. THIS

[1:09:18] CATEGORY JUST MEANS WE DON'T

[1:09:19] HAVE ENOUGH INFORMATION TO PUT

[1:09:21] IT INTO AN APPROPRIATE TIER YET.

[1:09:25] NEXT, BASED ON INSPECTION

[1:09:25] HISTORY, PROPERTIES IN TIER 2

[1:09:27] ARE PRESUMED TO HAVE MORE

[1:09:29] DOCUMENTED ISSUES THAN TIER 1.

[1:09:30] THOSE INSPECTIONS FOR THOSE

[1:09:32] PROPERTIES A PLANNED EVERY

[1:09:33] FIVE YEARS.ND FINALLY, BASED

[1:09:35] ON INSPECTION HISTORY, TIER 3

[1:09:37] PROPERTIES ARE PRESUMED TO HAVE

[1:09:39] THE MOST CODE VIOLATIONS OUT OF

[1:09:40] ALL THE RENTAL PROPERTIES IN

[1:09:42] MINNEAPOLIS. WE DO ANNUAL

[1:09:43] INSPECTIONS FOR THOSE

[1:09:44] PROPERTIES. WHILE THE CITY HAS

[1:09:48] SOMETIMES TREATED TIERING AS A

[1:09:50] WAY TO DISCLOSE PROPERTY

[1:09:51] CONDITION TO RENTS, WE'D BEGUN

[1:09:55] ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO VIEW IT

[1:09:56] MORE AS A POTENTIAL WARNING

[1:09:59] SYSTEM. INSTEAD OF A LITMUS TEST

[1:10:02] FOR LET'S SAY WHETHER A PROPERTY

[1:10:04] IS IN GOOD OR BAD SHAPE AT THIS

[1:10:06] MOMENT. IT'S IMPORTANT TO

[1:10:07] UNDERSTAND THAT THE TIER DOES

[1:10:08] NOT ALWAYS MATCH A PROPERTY'S

[1:10:10] CURRENT CONDITION. BECAUSE IT'S

[1:10:11] BASED ON FINDINGS IN THE LAST

[1:10:13] TWO YEARS, PROACTIVE AND

[1:10:15] COMPLAINT-BASED INSPECTIONS,

[1:10:16] IT'S A BETTER INDICATOR OF A

[1:10:19] PROPER'S HISTORY OR AT LEAST

[1:10:20] WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT THAT HISTORY

[1:10:22] BASED ON LIKE I SAID EITHER THE

[1:10:24] COMPLAINTS OR THE PROACTIVE

[1:10:28] INSPTION. SOMETIMES A TIERED

[1:10:29] STATUS IS BASED ON MINIMAL DATA.

[1:10:33] IF A PROPERTY HAD INSPECTION

[1:10:35] SEVEN YEARS AGO AND WE RECEIVED

[1:10:37] LITTLE TO NO 311 COMPLAINTS, IN

[1:10:39] THE MEANTIME, IT COULD MEAN WE

[1:10:42] N

[1:10:43] SEVERAL YEARS TO OBSERVE ANY

[1:10:45] CODE VIOLATIONS. LASTLY, A

[1:10:49] PROPERTY CONDITION CAN CHANGE

[1:10:51] THE INSTANT AN INSPECTOR LEAVES

[1:10:52] FOR BET R OR WORSE. IT MIGHT NOT

[1:10:56] ALIGN WITH WHAT A RENTER WOULD

[1:10:58] EXPECT. SO LIFE SAFETY

[1:11:01] VIOLATIONS INFLUENCE THE TIERED

[1:11:03] REFLECTION OF OUR DEPARTMENT'S

[1:11:05] DEEP COMMITMENTO PRIORITIZING

[1:11:08] RENTER SAFETY. HOWEVER, SOME

[1:11:10] LIFE SAFETY ISSUES LIKE A SMOKE

[1:11:13] DETECTOR WITHOUT BATTERIES MAY

[1:11:15] FEEL LESS VISIBLE ON RE

[1:11:20] IN TIME FOR THE028 LICENSE

[1:11:22] RENEWAL CYCLE. WE'RE ACTIVELY

[1:11:26] WORKING NOW THROUGH IDEATION

[1:11:29] ANALYSIS AND COMMUNITY

[1:11:30] ENGAGEMENT. WE DID HOST A POLICY

[1:11:33] ROUNDTABLE IN EARLY JUNE TO

[1:11:34] SHARE MORE ABOUT THESE EFFORTS.

[1:11:35] AND WANT TO THANK EVERYONE WHO

[1:11:37] WAS ABLE TO ATTEND AND OFFER TO

[1:11:39] MEET ONE ON ONE TO CONNECT AND

[1:11:41] BRING FOLKS UP TO SPEED IF YOU

[1:11:42] WANT TO GO DEEPER ON THAT TOPIC.

[1:11:48] MOVING ON TO OUR IMPLEMENTATION

[1:11:52] OF THE NEW RENTAL LICENSE

[1:11:54] ORDINANCE AND RELATED DATA.

[1:11:55] CURRENTLY, WE HAVE JUST ABOUT

[1:11:58] 23,000 RENTAL LICENSES. THE AND

[1:11:59] I WOULD JUST LIKE TO TAKE THIS

[1:12:01] OPPORTUNITY TO RECOGNIZE THE SIX

[1:12:04] STAFF WHO PROCESSED THOSE

[1:12:05] APPLI

[1:12:06] ANNUALLY, IN ADDITION TO MANY

[1:12:08] NEW APPLICATIONS THROUGHOUT THE

[1:12:09] YEAR. THOSE LICENSES DESIGNATED

[1:12:13] ASIGH RISK FOR THE PURPOSES OF

[1:12:16] THIS ORDINANCE ARE TIER 3

[1:12:18] PROPERTIES AS WELL AS THOSE

[1:12:21] WITH RENTAL LICENSE COITIONS.

[1:12:23] RENTAL LICENSE CONDITIONS MEANS

[1:12:24] THAT CITY COUNCIL HAS APPROVED A

[1:12:26] PROPERTY OWNER TO CONTINUE

[1:12:27] HAVIY

[1:12:29] MEET CRITERIA OVER 36 MONTHS.

[1:12:32] CURRENTLY, ABOUT 74 PROPERTIES

[1:12:34] FALL INTO THESE TWO CATEGORIES.

[1:12:35] BUT I WANT TO FLAG THAT THAT'S

[1:12:39] JUST OUR WORKING NUMBER FOR NOW.

[1:12:41] IT WILL CHANGE FROM YEAR TO

[1:12:42] YEAR. AND UPDATES THAT WE'RE

[1:12:44] WORKING TO FINE TUNE TIERING

[1:12:47] WILL DEFINITELY IMPACT THAT

[1:12:47] NUMBER. YOU CAN SEE IN THIS MAP

[1:12:52] THAT GEOGRAPHICALLY TIER 3

[1:12:53] PROPERTIES ARE SPREAD ACROSS

[1:12:54] MINNEAPOLIS. AND I'LL JUST NOTE

[1:12:56] AT EVEN THOUGH TIERING HAS ITS

[1:12:59] LIMITATIONS, I DO WANT TO

[1:13:00] RECOGNIZE THEUMEROUS TIER 1

[1:13:01] PROPERTY OWNERS WHO ARE DOING

[1:13:03] THEIR PART TO MEE OR EXCEED

[1:13:05] MINIMUM HOUSING STANDARDS. AND

[1:13:09] NOW I'LL SHARE SOME

[1:13:12] OPPORTUNITIES IN THIS NEXT PHASE

[1:13:15] VALUE, THIS NEW LICENSING

[1:13:17] PROCESS FOR HIGH RISK PROPERTY

[1:13:20] APPEARS SIMPLE BECAUSE OTHER

[1:13:21] LICENSES AT THE CITY DO COME

[1:13:22] BEFORE COUNCIL. IN REALITY, THE

[1:13:26] OPERATIONAL AND TECHNOLOGY

[1:13:27] CHANGES AND HANDS ON STAFF

[1:13:29] INVOLVEMENT MAKE THIS QUITE

[1:13:31] LAYERED AND COMPLEX TO

[1:13:33] IMPLEMENT. BECAUSE OF THAT, THE

[1:13:36] AN EXTENSION TO THE

[1:13:39] IMPLEMENTATION DATE TO

[1:13:43] MARCH 1ST, 2028. THIS ERA TIME

[1:13:45] OPENS UP SEVERAL OPPORTUNITIES

[1:13:46] FOR REGULATORY SERVICES STAFF TO

[1:13:49] STRENGTHEN THE ORDINANCE'S

[1:13:50] IMPACT AND PROACTIVELY IRON OUT

[1:13:52] CRITICAL PROCESSES. WE'RE ALSO

[1:13:55] DISCUSSING A TECHNICAL AMENDMENT

[1:13:57] THE AUTHORS TO REFLECT THEIR

[1:14:00] INTENTIONS THAT THE RENEWALS

[1:14:01] COME BEFORE THE BODY. A

[1:14:08] MARCH 1ST, 2028, IMPLEMENTATION

[1:14:10] DATE WOULD BE ADVANTAGEOUS FOR

[1:14:13] FOUR MAIN REASONS: FIRST, THIS

[1:14:14] WOULD ALIGN WITH THE RENTAL

[1:14:17] LICENSE RENEWAL CYCLE AND WHEN

[1:14:19] WE'LL ROLL OUT CHANGES TO THAT

[1:14:21] TIERING SYSTEM. THEN WITH THE

[1:14:23] LARGE VOLUME OF RENTALS WE

[1:14:24] LICENSE AND INSPECT, WE'RE ALSO

[1:14:26] WORKING TO BE STRATEGIC WITH

[1:14:28] STEWARDING OUR STAFF TIME. THIS

[1:14:31] ADDITIONAL TIME WILL HOPEFULLY

[1:14:32] HELP US FIND WAYS TO MITIGATE

[1:14:35] CHALLENGES THAT WOULD OTHERWISE

[1:14:36] PULL INSPECTORS AWAYROM THEIR

[1:14:40] INSPECTIONS OR STRAIN LIMITED

[1:14:41] STAFF CAPACITY AND OTHER TEA

[1:14:44] WHO WILL BE INVOLVED IN

[1:14:47] IMPLEMENTING THIS PROCESS.

[1:14:49] THIRDLY, MULTIPLE SOFTWARE WILL

[1:14:50] SUPPORT THIS NEW LICENSING

[1:14:53] PROCESS. AS SOFTWARE CHALLENGES

[1:14:54] ARE IN THE WORKS THIS YEAR AND

[1:14:55] BEYOND, WE WANT OUR SYSTEMS TO

[1:14:57] FUNCTION AS SMOOTHLY AS POSSIBLE

[1:14:58] TO BEST SUPPORT RENTERS AND

[1:15:00] ENSURE OUR RECORDS ARE ACCURATE.

[1:15:04] THE 311 LOGIN TRANSITION. WE'D F

[1:15:07] HAVE MORE TIME TO WORK WITH IT

[1:15:09] ON ELMS PROCESS CHANGES AND THE

[1:15:13] SYSTEMS MIGRATION CHANGES TO THE

[1:15:14] CLOUD, AS WELL AS COORDINATE

[1:15:17] WITH THE CITY CLERK'S OFFICE.

[1:15:22] ALSO, WE'RE HOPEFUL THAT THE NEW

[1:15:24] ENTERPRISE PLATFORM MIGHT BE

[1:15:25] IMPLEMENTED BY THEN. LASTLY,

[1:15:28] ADDITIONAL TIME GIVES US THE

[1:15:29] TIMEO BE FULLY READY

[1:15:33] OPERATIONALLY. WE'VE LEARNED A

[1:15:35] LOT THIS YEAR ABOUT THE

[1:15:38] COMPLEXITY OF THESE INTERNAL

[1:15:39] PROCESS CHANGES. FOR EXAMPLE, WE

[1:15:41] MAY NEED TO ISSUE PROVISIONAL

[1:15:43] LICENSES PRIOR TO COUNCIL'S

[1:15:44] REVIEW. WE ALSO NEED TIME TO

[1:15:47] INVEST INTAFF TRAINING AND

[1:15:49] EDUCATING BOTH OWNERS AND

[1:15:50] RENTERS ABOUT WHAT TO EXPECT.

[1:15:59] THERE'S A FEW CLARIFICATIONS I

[1:16:00] NT TO LEAVE YOU WITH JUST TO

[1:16:02] CLOSE OUT ABOUT THIS NEW PROCESS

[1:16:05] IN RENTAL LICENSES. FIRST, THE

[1:16:08] LICENSES THAT WILL GO BEFORE

[1:16:09] COUNCIL WILL BE RECOMMENDED FOR

[1:16:13] RENEWAL. IT'S BECAUSE WE BELIEVE

[1:16:14] THERE ARE STILL OPERATIONAL

[1:16:16] PATHWAYS FOR INSPECTION SERVICES

[1:16:18] TO IMPROVE A BUILDING'S

[1:16:19] CONDITIONS WITHOUT DISPLAESING

[1:16:21] RENTERS. IF WE ENCOUNTER CASES

[1:16:24] THAT WARRANT REVOCATION, WE DO

[1:16:25] BRINGHOSE TO COUNCIL

[1:16:26] THROUGHOUT THE YEAR UNDER A

[1:16:27] SEPARATE PROCESS.

[1:16:29] ULTIMATELY, AENTAL LICENSE IS

[1:16:31] NOT INHERENTLY A STAMP OF

[1:16:32] APPROVAL ON A BUILDING. IT DOES,

[1:16:35] HOWEVER, BRING A RENTAL PROPERTY

[1:16:36] UNDER THE CITY'S AUTHORITY. AND

[1:16:37] AS WEISCUSSED EARLIER, A TIER

[1:16:40] DOESN'T TELL THE WHOLE STORY OF

[1:16:41] WHAT'S HAPPENING AT A PROPERTY.

[1:16:43] WE CAN PROVIDE MORE CONTEXT

[1:16:45] ABOUT A PARTICULAR CASE WHEN WE

[1:16:47] HAVE ADVANCE NOTICE TO PREPARE

[1:16:49] INFORMATION AHEAD OF COMMITTEE

[1:16:53] MEETINGS. AND MOST IMPORTANY,

[1:16:57] POSSIBLY, IS IF COUNCIL DECIDES

[1:16:58] TO DENY A LICENSE RENEWAL, THAT

[1:17:01] INHERENTLY MEANS DISPLACING

[1:17:03] RENTERS. AS YOU KNOW, RENTERS

[1:17:05] CANNOT LIVE IN AN UNLICENSED

[1:17:07] RENTAL ACCORDING TOITY

[1:17:09] ORDINANCE. AND I TNK YOU FOR

[1:17:10] YOUR TIME AND ATTENTION.

[1:17:11] >>HANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT

[1:17:13] » HANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT

[1:17:13] PRESENTATION. I'M OPENING FOR

[1:17:15] DISCUSSION HERE. I HAVE COUNCIL

[1:17:18] MEMBER WARREN ON QUEUE HERE.

[1:17:21] >> THANK YOU KINDLY, CHAIR

[1:17:26] » THANK YOU KINDLY, CHAIR

[1:17:26] OSMAN. MY QUESTION IS SO WITH A

[1:17:29] TIER 1 PROPERTY, THEY'RE

[1:17:32] INSPECTED APPROXIMATELY EVERY

[1:17:33] EIGHT YEARS. SO HOW MANY

[1:17:37] VIOLATIONS OR COMPLAINTS DO THEY

[1:17:38] NEED TO RECEIVE IN ORDER TO

[1:17:40] CHANGE THEIR TIERING IN THAT

[1:17:43] EIGHT-YEAR TIME PERIOD BEFORE

[1:17:45] SOMEONE COMES FORWARD AGAIN IN

[1:17:46] ORR TO DO A REINSPECTION?

[1:17:50] >> CHAIR OSMAN, COUNCIL MEMBER

[1:17:52] » CHAIR OSMAN, COUNCIL MEMBER

[1:17:52] WARREN, THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION.

[1:17:54] SO I DON'T HAVE ITFF THE TOP

[1:17:56] OF MY HEAD. IT'SUITE A MATRI

[1:18:00] AND QUITE COMPLICATED WHICH IS

[1:18:01] ONE OF THE THINGS WE'RE TRYING

[1:18:03] TO IMPROVE IN THE TIERING

[1:18:05] REDESIGN. THERE'S A REALLY NICE

[1:18:07] MATRIX ON THE CITY'S WSITE AND

[1:18:08] WE CAN SHARE THAT WITH YOU SO

[1:18:10] YOU N REALLY, YEAH, SEE THE

[1:18:11] DETAILS OF IT. BUT I DON'T HAVE

[1:18:12] IT OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD.

[1:18:14] >> OKAY. I'M EXCITED TO RECEI

[1:18:16] » OKAY. I'M EXCITED TO RECEI

[1:18:17] THAT INFORMATION. AS I'M LOOKING

[1:18:19] AT THE NUMBER OF PROPERTIES AND

[1:18:22] VACANT PROPERTIES. AND THEN I

[1:18:26] HAVE A COPY OF THE INSPECTION

[1:18:29] REPORT THAT IS UTILIZED WHEN

[1:18:33] INSPECONS ARE BEING DONE

[1:18:36] COURTESY OF DIRECTOR VELAZQUEZ

[1:18:38] PROVID ME WITH A COPY OF THAT.

[1:18:40] BUT WHEN I'M WALKING THROUGH,

[1:18:42] YOU KNOW, JUST COMMUNITY AND I'M

[1:18:44] LOOKING AT THE CONDITIONS OF

[1:18:47] HOUSING, THE QUESTION THEN

[1:18:48] BECOMES HOW MANY 311 CALLS, HOW

[1:18:51] MANY COMPLAINTS HAVE TO BE MADE

[1:18:54] IN ORDER TO ENSURE THAT PROPERTY

[1:18:58] OWNERS AND LANDLORDS ARE HOLDING

[1:19:01] UP INTEGRITY TO THEOMMITMENT

[1:19:02] THAT THEY MADE TO PROVIDE SAFE,

[1:19:07] SUITABLE, AND SUSINABLE

[1:19:08] HOUSING. RIGHT.ND WHAT THAT

[1:19:10] LOOKS LIKE AS A REFLECTION OF

[1:19:13] WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE WARDS

[1:19:16] THEMSELVES. YOU KNOW. I RESPECT

[1:19:19] THE EIGHT-YEAR, I RESPECTHE

[1:19:21] FIVE-YEAR. I PERSONALLY THINK,

[1:19:23] YOU KNOW, JUST STARTING OUT

[1:19:24] YOU'RE RECEIVING A TIER 1 OR A

[1:19:28] 1D BECAUSE THERE'S NOT ENOUGH

[1:19:31] INFORMATION THAT IT KIND OF --

[1:19:32] AND I THINK YOU SAID IT YOURSELF

[1:19:35] BEST IN THE PRESENTATION --

[1:19:36] THINGS CAN CHANGE RIGHT AER

[1:19:38] THE INSPECTOR LEAVES, RIGHT? SO

[1:19:40] I THINK THAT IN OUR

[1:19:43] THOUGHTFULNESS IN MOVING FORWARD

[1:19:44] THAT THERE SHOULD BE ADDITIONAL,

[1:19:46] MORE RANDOM INSPECTIONS THAT

[1:19:49] THEN COME UP SO AT, YOU KNOW,

[1:19:52] HEY, WE'RE PAYING ATTENTION.

[1:19:54] WE'RE GIVING YOU A OPPORTUNITY.

[1:19:55] WE'RE TRYING YOU OUT. O OF THE

[1:19:59] OTHER THINGS, AND I'VE SHARED

[1:20:01] THIS WITH DIRECTOR IN SEVERAL

[1:20:04] MEETINGS, THAT CONCERNS ME ABOUT

[1:20:07] THIS IS, AND I KNOW WE'VE TALKED

[1:20:09] ABOUT CHANGING, YOU KNOW, EVEN

[1:20:11] THE APPLICATION PROCESS AS IT

[1:20:13] PERTAINS TO RENTAL LICENSING

[1:20:16] HE

[1:20:18] BECAUSE YOU'LL HAVE JOE BLOW LLC

[1:20:21] THAT HOOKS UP WITH JOHN DOE LLC

[1:20:26] AND BOTH OF THEM HAVE A PLETHORA

[1:20:30] OF TIER 2 PROPERTIES DOE AND

[1:20:34] BLOW, NOW THEY'VE GOT A WHOLE

[1:20:36] TEAM OF SOMETHING. AND THEY WENT

[1:20:37] AND PURCHASED UP A BUNCH OF

[1:20:40] OTHER STUFF THAT AGAIN LKS

[1:20:42] DEPLORABLE AND SUBPAR IN THE

[1:20:43] COMMUNITIES THAT ARE CAUSING,

[1:20:45] AGAIN, A FRACTION ON THE FIRST

[1:20:47] TIER OF PUBLIC SAFETY AND THAT'S

[1:20:50] HOUSING, RIGHT? AND SO I'M

[1:20:52] CONCERNED ABOUT THAT. AND I

[1:20:55] REALLY, REALLY WANT US TO BE

[1:20:57] VERY THOUGHTFUL AND INTENTIONAL

[1:21:00] ABOUT LESSENING THE TIME PERIODS

[1:21:07] THEN MAKING THE APPROPRIATE AND

[1:21:10] ALTERATIONS TO THE RENTAL

[1:21:13] LICENSING WHERE IT INCLUDES THE

[1:21:18] DEVELOPER OR THE LLC OWNER OR

[1:21:21] FOUNDER OR CEO'S NAME. THOSE

[1:21:24] PEOPLE, AND YOU KNOW, ASSOCIATED

[1:21:26] BOARD MEMBERS OR DECISION MAKERS

[1:21:29] ON THERE THAT THERE IS SPACE FOR

[1:21:30] THAT SO WE CAN WEED AND SEE

[1:21:35] THESE PORTFOLIOS TOGETHER TO

[1:21:36] FIND OUT EXACTLY WHO IS

[1:21:38] RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT. AND IT

[1:21:39] HELPS IN HOLDING INDIVIDUALS

[1:21:41] ACCOUNTABLE BEHIND THE TYPE OF

[1:21:42] THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING IN THE

[1:21:44] COMMUNITY WITH RESPECT TO

[1:21:45] HOUSING. SO I THANK YOU FOR YOUR

[1:21:49] PRESENTATION.

[1:21:50] I APPRECIA YOUR TIME AND

[1:21:50] ENERGY.

[1:21:52] >> ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. I PUT

[1:21:57] » ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. I PUT

[1:22:03] SAY THANK YOU, YOUR STAFF, AND I

[1:22:05] APPRECIATE THE PRESENTATION. THE

[1:22:07] IDEA BEHIND BRINGING THIS BACK

[1:22:10] TO THE COUNCIL WAS THAT WE KNOW

[1:22:12] THE TIER SYSTEM IS BROKEN. IT'S

[1:22:15] NO CATCHING UP THE BAD ACTORS

[1:22:19] OUT THERE. IT'S NOT A FAIR

[1:22:22] SYSTEM. THERE ARE PROPERTIES

[1:22:24] THAT ARE HIGHER TIER 1 THAT ARE

[1:22:26] ACTUALLY COULD BE TIER 3. I'M

[1:22:32] SUPER EXCITED THE REG SERVICES,

[1:22:35] REGULATORY SERVICES IS DOING

[1:22:36] THIS OVERHAUL STUDY, COMMUNITY

[1:22:39] ENGAGEMENT. WHICH I'D LIKE TO B

[1:22:41] A PART OF. THERE ARE RESIDENTS

[1:22:42] THAT HAVE A LOT TO SAY IN MY

[1:22:44] WARD. OVERALL, AND COME UP WITH

[1:22:49] BETTER SYSM THAT COULD BE MAKE

[1:22:52] SURE THAT WE ARE HOLDING

[1:22:54] ACCOUN

[1:22:56] ARE DOING BUSINESS IN OUR CITY,

[1:22:57] AND WHEN THEY COME FRONT OF US

[1:23:01] OR ASK FOR LICENSE, YOU KNOW,

[1:23:03] LOOK FORWARD TO THAT SYSTEM. I

[1:23:04] DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT SYSTEM

[1:23:05] WOULD LOOK LIKE BUT I KNOW IT

[1:23:07] WILL BE BETTER THAN WE HAVE

[1:23:08] RIGHT NOW. JUST IDEA OF TIER 3

[1:23:11] SYSTEM COME IN FRONT OF THE

[1:23:13] COUNCIL, IT WAS NOT A PUNISHMENT

[1:23:16] TO THE LANDLORD OR DISPLACEMENT

[1:23:18] OF RESIDENT. IT WAS TO PAY

[1:23:20] ATTENTION AND TELL THE LANDLORDS

[1:23:21] IF YOU'RE DOING BUSINESS WITH

[1:23:24] THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS AND YOU

[1:23:24] ARE, YOU KNOW, PROVIDING HOUSING

[1:23:28] WHERE PEOPLEENT AND YOU'RE

[1:23:29] CHARGING THEM, YOU'RE MAKING

[1:23:30] BUSINESS, YOU'RE MAKING MONEY

[1:23:32] OUT OF , WE EXPECT YOU TO MEET

[1:23:34] CERTAIN BASIC THINGS WHICH IS

[1:23:35] THE HEAT, THERIDGE. BASIC

[1:23:37] THINGS. AND WE ARE NOT SEEING

[1:23:41] THAT. THERE ARE PROPERTIES THAT

[1:23:42] WE ARE NOT SEEING THAT. SO THE

[1:23:45] IDEA WAS PUT A LITTLE BIT MORE

[1:23:47] WEIGHT ON THAT. NOW YOU GET TO

[1:23:48] GO IN FRONT OF THE COUNCIL. I

[1:23:51] HAVE SEEN OTHER LICENSES. I'M

[1:23:53] NOT COMPARING LIQUOR LICENSE.

[1:23:55] BUT I AM SEEING ANYONE WHO COMES

[1:23:57] IN FRONT OF THE COUNCIL, MAKE

[1:23:59] SURE THEY TAKE CARE OF THE

[1:24:01] CITATIONS, TAKE CARE OF THOSE

[1:24:02] BAC FIXES THEY NEED. AND THIS

[1:24:04] IS THAT IDEA. WE DO NOT WANT TO

[1:24:06] DISPLACE RESIDENTS AND THAT IS

[1:24:09] NOT OUR INTENTION. AND W LOOK

[1:24:12] YOUR LEADERSHIP AND YOUR

[1:24:14] EXPERTISE TO HOPEFULLY COME UP

[1:24:15] WITH A SYSTEM THAT CAN WORK. AND

[1:24:17] MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE THAT ARE

[1:24:19] COMING AND DOING BUSINESS WITH

[1:24:21] US ARE ALSO MTING THE BASIC

[1:24:25] SERVICES FOR THE RESIDENT TO

[1:24:27] LIVEN A CONDITION THAT'S

[1:24:29] HUMANE WAY FOR PEOPLE TO LIVE.

[1:24:33] AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE MY

[1:26:19] GREAT INFORMATION FROM THAT

[1:26:26] COMMITTEE ON HOUSING AND WILL BE

[1:26:27] BACK THERE LATER THIS MONTH, I

[1:26:29] BELIEVE, TO KEEP THAT GROUP

[1:26:30] ENGAGED. THE NEXT STEP FOR

[1:26:36] LOVE TO HAVE COUNCIL MEMBERS

[1:26:37] HELP WITH TO GET OUT THE WORD TO

[1:26:44] R

[1:26:48] WILL SAY IT IS --S YOU CAN

[1:26:50] TELL, THE TIERING IS VERY

[1:26:50] TECHNICAL. SO IT ISIND OF A

[1:26:53] CHALLENGE. SO THAT'S WHY WE DID

[1:26:55] KIND OF THE DEEP DIVE WITH THE

[1:26:57] TA FORCE TO REALLY BRING THEM

[1:26:58] UP TO SPEED SO THEY CAN GIVE

[1:27:00] REALLY ROBUST. BUT WE DO WANT TO

[1:27:03] HEAR FROM RENTERS WHAT'S GOING

[1:27:05] ON SO THAT CAN INFORM EVERYTHING

[1:27:06] THAT WE'RE PUTTING TOGETHER.

[1:27:09] YES. BASICALLYE HAVE SOME

[1:28:18] OF KIND OF THEMES THAT WE'RE

[1:28:21] HEARING. ONE THAT COMES TO MIND

[1:28:23] IS THE NAMING OF THE TIERS

[1:28:28] ITSELF. TIER. IT'S CONFUSING

[1:28:30] WHETHER THE TIER 1 AND THE TIER

[1:28:32] 1D. PEOPLE DON'T KNOW IF YOU

[1:28:35] TIER. IS IT GOOD TO BE A HIGH W

[1:28:37] NUMBER OR A LOWER NUMBER? IT'S

[1:28:39] LIKE GOLF. Y WANT TO BE TIER

[1:28:41] 1. BUT IT'S ALSO KIND OF A

[1:28:43] MISNOMER BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT WE

[1:28:44] DON'T KNOW THAT MUCH ABOUT TIER

[1:28:46] 1 PROPERTIES. IT'S HARD TOSAY,

[1:28:48] LIKE I WAS SAYING IN MY

[1:28:50] PRESENTATION, WE DON'T KNOW THE

[1:28:52] CONDITION ALL THE TIME. AND SO

[1:28:56] M -- WE'VE BEEN GETTING

[1:28:58] FEEDBACK FROM THE TASK FORCE AND

[1:28:59] OTHERS THAT THE NAMING

[1:29:00] CONVENTIONS ONE OF THE THINGS

[1:29:02] THAT'S CAUSING THE COMPLEXITY

[1:29:04] AND SOME OF THE CONFUSION. IF

[1:29:05] YOUAVE ANY IDEAS, THAT'S ONE

[1:29:07] OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE

[1:29:09] WORKSHOPPING. THAT'S WHAT COMES

[1:29:28] ON THE TABLE, RIGHT? SO THE

[1:29:31] CYCLE OF HOW FREQUENTLY THEY'RE

[1:29:36] INSPECTED AS WELL AS THE ACTUAL

[1:29:38] VIOLATIONS AND HOW THE

[1:29:40] VIOLATIONS ARE WEIGHTED.

[1:29:42] BASICALLY ALL THE COMPONENTS

[1:29:44] WE'RE LOOKING AT. I'M TRYING TO

[1:29:48] THINK. THE NUMBER OF TIERS

[1:29:50] THAT'S SOMETHING WE'VE HEARD

[1:29:51] ALREADY. MAYBE THERE SHOULD BE

[1:29:52] MORE TIERS. THAT KIND OF THING.

[1:29:55] >> THAT'S REALLY HELPFUL. I

[1:29:56] » THAT'S REALLY HELPFUL. I

[1:29:56] REAL APPRECIATE IT. I THINK

[1:29:57] THAT HELPS ME AS THE COUNCIL

[1:29:59] MEMBERS START TO BRAINSTORM AND

[1:30:03] COLLECT FEEDBACK KIND OF

[1:30:05] ANECDOTALLY. SO THAT'S REALLY

[1:30:07] HELPFUL. AND THEN COULD YOU

[1:30:08] CLARIFY, YOU KN, YOU TOLD US

[1:30:11] THAT WITH UNDER THIS NEW

[1:30:12] ORDINANCE THAT THE HIGH RISK

[1:30:14] PROPERTIES WOULD COME TO THE

[1:30:15] COUNCIL FOR APPROVAL OR DENIAL.

[1:30:16] IF THEY WERE DENIED, THAT WOULD

[1:30:20] MEAN DISPLACEMENT. IF THEYERE

[1:30:23] DENIED BY THE COUNCIL. BUT YOU

[1:30:26] ALSO SAID THAT DISPLACEMENT TOOK

[1:30:28] ANOTHER ROUTE, A STAFF ROUTE. SO

[1:30:31] I'D LIKE TO UNDERSTANDOW THOSE

[1:30:34] TWO PROCESS WILL INTERSECT.

[1:30:36] DOES THA MAKE SENSE? WOULD THE

[1:30:39] STAFF, IF SOM PROPERTY HAS

[1:30:41] BECOME A QUESTION MARK FOR STAFF

[1:30:42] AND YOU'VE DECIDED IT NEEDS TO

[1:30:44] BE DISPLACEMENT AND THAT PROCESS

[1:30:46] STARTS, IS THAT A SEPARATE

[1:30:48] PROCESS FROM WHAT A COUNC

[1:30:52] MIGHT DECIDE INAYING DENY A

[1:30:54] LICENSE? I'M TRYING TO

[1:30:56] UNDERSTAND HOW THOSE TWO

[1:30:57] PATHWAYS THAT YOU'VE DESCRIBED

[1:30:58] INTERSECT.

[1:31:03] >> THROUGH THE CHAIR, COUNCIL

[1:31:05] » THROUGH THE CHAIR, COUNCIL

[1:31:05] MEMBER SHAFFER, WE'LL HAVE

[1:31:09] SOMEONE FROM INSPECTIONS ANSWER

[1:31:19] COUNCIL HAS THIS ROLE THEN DOES

[1:31:21] THE STAFF ROLE IN THAT PROCESS

[1:31:23] GO AWAY? I'M JUST TRYING TO

[1:31:25] UNDERSTAND. LIKE I THINK THE

[1:31:28] STAFF PROCESS IS HOW WE

[1:31:30] CURRENTLY DO IT, RIGHT? IF

[1:31:32] THERE'S A PROBLEM PROPERTY AND

[1:31:33] WE NEED TO DISPLACE PEOPLE THAT

[1:31:36] COMES BEFORE US IN YOUR PROCESS.

[1:31:38] BUT WITH THAT NEW CHANGE THAT'S

[1:31:39] NOT UNTIL 2028, SO I UNDERSTAND

[1:31:41] THERE'S STILL SOME QUESTION

[1:31:43] MARKS. IF THEOUNCIL HAS THAT

[1:31:46] POWER, THEN HOW DO THOSE TWO

[1:32:05] PROCESS A BIT BACKWARDS IN A

[1:32:07] SENSE. SO USUALLY WHEN STAFF IS

[1:32:09] RECOMMENDING A DENIAL OR

[1:32:10] REVOCATION OF A RENTAL LICENSE,

[1:32:14] WE WOULD SEND OUR INTENT TO

[1:32:16] RECOMMEND THAT TO THE PROPERTY

[1:32:18] OWNER, AND THERE'S A PROCESS

[1:32:21] THATOULD GO THROUGH BEFORE IT

[1:32:22] COMES TO YOU, INCLUDING IF THEY

[1:32:24] WANTED TO APPEAL IT, IT WOULD GO

[1:32:27] TO THE HEARING OFFICER. HEARING

[1:32:29] OFFICER RECOMMENDATION IS

[1:32:30] FORWARDEDO COUNCIL. IF WE ARE

[1:32:34] RECOMMENDING THE LICENSE RENEWAL

[1:32:36] BE APPROVED, THEN IT WOULD BE

[1:32:39] COMING TO YOU FROM US, IF YOU

[1:32:41] DENIED IT, THEN IT WOULD GO BACK

[1:32:43] TO THE HEARING OFFICER INSTEAD

[1:32:44] OF BACK TO US. AND THE HEARING

[1:32:46] OFFICER WOULD MAKE A

[1:32:48] DETERMINATION. AND THEN I'M NOT

[1:32:50] CLEAR ON WHERE IT GOES FROM

[1:32:51] THERE. MY UNDERSTANDING IS IT

[1:32:53] WOULDN'T COME RIGHT BACK TO YOU.

[1:32:55] IT WOULD BE KIND OF SILLY. BUT I

[1:32:58] DON'T KNOW IF WE'VE CLARIFIED

[1:35:32] COUPLE MORE QUESTIONS. SO WITH

[1:35:38] RENTAL PROPERTIES, NOW THAT OUR

[1:35:42] UMBRELLAED OR UNDERNEATH THE

[1:35:45] JURISDICTION OF PROPERTY OWNERS,

[1:35:47] PROPERTY MANAGEMENT COMPANIES,

[1:35:49] LARGER PROPERTY MANAGEMENT

[1:35:50] COMPANIES, WIT THE CHANGES THAT

[1:35:52] WE ARE MAKING TO T TIERING

[1:35:56] SYSTEM, IF YOU WILL, ARE WE

[1:36:00] PUTTING LANGUAGE IN THERE THAT

[1:36:02] IS GOING TOE SPECIFIC AROUND

[1:36:05] HOW WE GOVERN OR WE DIDN'T SEE

[1:36:08] THROUGH THESE DIFFERENT PROPERTY

[1:36:09] MANAGEMENT COMPANIES THAT ARE

[1:36:11] HOLDING THEM TO A DIFFENT

[1:36:12] STANDARD? BECAUSE, AND I'M

[1:36:15] SAYING THIS FOR TWO REASONS: AT

[1:36:18] ONE POINT IN THE CONVERSATION IT

[1:36:22] WAS STATED THAT THERE WASN'T

[1:36:26] LIKE THESE BLANKET RENTAL

[1:36:28] LICENSES. BUT THEN IT ALMOST

[1:36:30] LIKE IT IS LIKE THEY DO EXIST.

[1:36:33] THAT ARE BASICALLY TAILORED T

[1:36:38] CERTAIN PROPERTY MANAGEMENT

[1:36:39] COMPANIES, LIKE A RENTER'S

[1:36:41] REHOUSE OR, YOU KNOW, THOSE

[1:36:45] INDIVIDUALS THEN HAVE THESE

[1:36:47] BLANKET RENTAL LICENSES THAT

[1:36:49] IT'S NOT THE FIDUCIARY

[1:36:52] RESPONSIBLE THAT LIVES

[1:36:54] NECESSILY WITH THE PROPERTY

[1:36:58] OWNER IF THEY'RE IN BUSINESS

[1:37:00] WITH THE SPECIFIC TYPE OF

[1:37:04] MANAGEMENT COMPANIES. SO

[1:37:08] ENSURING THAT WE'RE HOLDING

[1:37:09] INDIVIDUALS TO THEIR OWN

[1:37:11] INDIVIDUAL LICENSE, WHI IS WHY

[1:37:12] IT WAS IMPORTANT FOR ME EVEN

[1:37:13] WITH THE ITEM THAT CAME BEFORE,

[1:37:19] YOU KNOW, BHZ COMMITTEE TODAY

[1:37:21] FOR THE RENTAL LICENSE

[1:37:23] REINSTATEMENT AT 2113 ILLION

[1:37:26] THAT MOVED FORWARD NOW TO

[1:37:28] COUNCIL. IT WAS SOLD FROM

[1:37:32] SOMEONE ELSE WHO HAD HAD A

[1:37:33] LICENSE THAT WAS TERMINATED. NOW

[1:37:35] IT'S IN THE HANDS OF SOMEBODY

[1:37:38] ELSE. BUT THEN WHAT IF IT WOULD

[1:37:40] HAVE BEEN UNDERNEATH THE

[1:37:44] GOVERNANCE OF A PROPERTY

[1:37:45] MANAGEMENT COMPANY THAT IS NOW

[1:37:48] HOSTING THOSE THINGS? THAT'S

[1:37:50] ANOTHER HUGE ISSUE. IT'S A LOT

[1:37:53] OF TIMES NOT THE INDIVIDUAL BUT

[1:37:57] THESE BLANKET PROPERTY

[1:37:57] MANAGEMENT COMPANIES. AND I

[1:37:59] DIDN'T MEAN TO PICK ON RENTERS

[1:38:04] WAREHOUSE, BUT THEN AGAIN I DO

[1:38:05] BECAUSE THEY'RE KIND OF THOSE

[1:38:06] PEOPLE TOO. SO RENTERS WAREHOUSE

[1:38:09] WILL HAVE THESE BLANKET, YOU

[1:38:12] KNOW, PACKAGES. YOU COULD BUY

[1:38:16] THE CADILLAC PACKAGE OR THE YUGO

[1:38:19] PACKAGE. YOU GO AND FIGURE IT

[1:38:20] OUT AND WE'LL PUT SOMEBODY IN

[1:38:22] THERE. BUT IF YOU HAVE THE

[1:38:25] CADILLAC PACKAGE THEN WE'LL

[1:38:26] HANDLE THE BELLS AND WHISTLES

[1:38:28] AN EVERYTHING FOR YOU. BUT IF

[1:38:30] YOU GOT THE YUGO PACKAGE THEN

[1:38:33] YOU'RE GOING TO FIGURE OUT THE

[1:38:35] REST OF THE STUFF YOURSELF.

[1:38:36] WE'RE JUST GOING TO PUT SOMEBODY

[1:38:38] IN THE PROPERTY PER SE AND THOSE

[1:38:40] END UP CAUSING A LOT OF PROBLEMS

[1:38:44] WITHSSUES AROUND RENTING AND

[1:38:48] RENTAL REPAIR SYSTEMS AND HOW

[1:38:51] REPAIRS AND THINGS ARE BEING

[1:38:52] DONE TO THE PROPERTIES. WHEN THE

[1:38:57] OWNERS THEMSELVES ARE ABSENT AND

[1:39:00] THESE PROPERTY MANAGEMENT

[1:39:01] COMPANIE ARE MANAGING THE

[1:39:03] PROPERTIES BUT ARE NOT BEING

[1:39:04] GIVEN THE TOOLS THAT THEY NEED

[1:39:07] TO PRIORITIZE THE REPAIRS. AND

[1:39:08] IF IT'S NOT BEING LOOKED AT FOR

[1:39:11] AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME LIKE

[1:39:13] THAT POSES A BIG ISSUE. AND THEN

[1:39:16] I ALSO WANTED TO ASK ABOUT HOW

[1:39:18] THIS TIERING SYSTEM IS GOING TO

[1:39:22] RELATE TO SCATTERED SITE HOUSING

[1:39:25] AROUND MINNEAPOLIS PUBLIC

[1:39:27] HOUSING AUTHORITY SITES FOR

[1:39:30] THOSE INDEPENDENT AND STAND

[1:39:37] ALONE PROPERTIES THAT ARE

[1:39:39] THROUGHOUT COMMUNITIES BECAUSE

[1:39:40] WE DO NOT HAVE JURISDICTION OVER

[1:39:42] THE HIGH RISES. BUT WHAT DOES

[1:39:47] THIS MEAN FOR THE SCATTERED

[1:39:50] HOUSING? YES.

[1:40:16] QUESTION TO HOW THE RENTAL

[1:40:18] LICENSE TIERING WILL RELATE TO

[1:40:20] PUBLIC HOUSING AUTHORITY AND

[1:40:22] SCATTER SITES VERSUS HIGH

[1:40:24] OCCUPANCY DWELLING UNITS. WE

[1:40:26] HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO LICENSE

[1:40:27] ALL OF THEM AND TO TIER THEM

[1:40:29] ACCORDINGLY IN CONJUNCTION WITH

[1:40:31] ALL OF THE OTH MARKET RATE AND

[1:40:33] OTHER HOUSING THAT WE HAVE

[1:40:35] AVAILABLE. SO WE WILL MOVE

[1:40:37] FORWARD AND DO THAT WHEN WE GO

[1:40:41] THROUGH AND LOOK AT THE TWO-YEAR

[1:40:44] LOOKBACK OR WHATEVER THAT NEW

[1:40:45] OCESS LOOKS LIKE IN TERMS OF

[1:40:47] THE NEW RENTAL LICENSE TIERING.

[1:40:48] SO WE WILL DO THAT COLLECTIVELY

[1:40:51] AS ONE ENTITY NOT AS MARKET RATE

[1:40:53] AND THEN SCATTER SITE OR PUBLIC

[1:40:56] HOUSING.

[1:40:57] IT ALL GETS FOLDED TOGETHER. AND

[1:41:00] WE'LL LOOK AT THE SAME CRITERIA

[1:41:01] ALL ACROSS THEBOARD.

[1:41:02] >> OKAY. THANK YOU FOR THAT.

[1:41:04] » OKAY. THANK YOU FOR THAT.

[1:41:04] >> CERTAINLY.

[1:41:04] » CERTAINLY.

[1:41:04] >> I ALSO HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION

[1:41:11] » I ALSO HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION

[1:41:11] WITH RESPECT TO THAT IN AS WE'RE

[1:41:14] LOOKING AT OVERSIGHT FOR MPHA

[1:41:17] AND SCATTER SITE HOUSING. SO

[1:41:19] THEN HOW DOES THAT TIERING

[1:41:21] SYSTEM IMPACT THEIR PORTFOLIO?

[1:41:23] IS IT WE'RE JUST LOOKING AT THIS

[1:41:24] ONE AND THIS ONE IS A 3 OR YOU

[1:41:28] KNOW, BECAUSE YOU HAVE SO MANY

[1:41:30] THAT ARE CONSIDERED 3, THEN THIS

[1:41:34] IS WHERE WE'RE LINING YOU UP AT.

[1:41:36] OR HOW DOES THAT -- BECAUSE

[1:41:39] AGAIN, THERE'S THAT BIG HUGE --

[1:41:40] IT'S A HUGE BLANKET OF A LARGE

[1:41:43] PORTFOLIO OF -- AND I'M TRYING

[1:41:45] TO UNDERSTAND HOW THAT IMPACTS

[1:41:48] THOSE LARGE PORTFOLIOED

[1:41:52] DEVELOENTS.

[1:41:52] >> CERTAINLY. THROUGH THE CHAIR,

[1:41:54] » CERTAINLY. THROUGH THE CHAIR,

[1:41:54] COUNCIL MEMBER WARREN, WHEN WE

[1:41:56] HAVE LARGE PORTFOLIOS LIKE THAT,

[1:41:58] THAT'S WHY WE SHIFT THOSE

[1:41:59] INSPECTIONS OVER TO THE

[1:42:01] ALTERNATIVE ENFORCEMENT TEAM SO

[1:42:06] THAT WE DON'T HAVE INSPECTOR IN

[1:42:08] NORTHEAST VERSUS AN INDEPESPECTN

[1:42:14] SOUTH OR SOUTHWEST. THE TEAM IS

[1:42:17] ABLE TO TAKE A 30,000 FOOT VIEW

[1:42:20] AND SURVEY THE LANDSCAPE OF THE

[1:42:24] PORTFOLIO. WE'RE SEEING SOME

[1:42:25] CHALLENGES IN DIFFERENT AREAS

[1:42:27] AND RERRING PATTERNS. PERHAPS

[1:42:28] IT'S TIME TO CALL THAT PROPERTY

[1:42:30] OWNER IN AND LET'S HAVE SOME

[1:42:32] REAL DIALOGUE ABOUT WHAT'S

[1:42:34] HAPPENING. WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO

[1:42:36] DIFFERENTLY SO WE HAVE

[1:42:38] CONSISTENCY ACROSS THE BOARD.

[1:42:39] >> OKAY. I HAVE ONE MORE

[1:42:41] » OKAY. I HAVE ONE MORE

[1:42:41] QUESTION FOR YOU. AND I KNOW I

[1:42:43] SENT THIS TO YOU IN AN EMAIL BUT

[1:42:45] I'M GOING TO POSE IT OUT THERE.

[1:42:48] WITH RESPECT TO M PREDECESSOR

[1:42:50] AND MY ALSO NEIGHBORING COUNCIL

[1:42:54] COLLEAGUE LATRISHA VETAW

[1:42:56] AUTHORED AN ORDINANCE IN 2023

[1:43:00] AROUND MOLD AND MOLD

[1:43:03] INSPECTIONS. AND SO IS THAT

[1:43:07] BEING IMPLEMENTED INTO THE

[1:43:09] INSPECTION REPORTS WHERE THEY'RE

[1:43:10] GOING TO BE A DEEP DIVE. ARE WE

[1:43:13] RECRUITING SOMEONE INT

[1:43:15] REGULATORY SERVICES THAT IS

[1:43:16] GOING TO AID WITH MOLD

[1:43:17] INSPECTIONS AND MOLD ABATEMENT?

[1:43:23] >> COUNCIL CHAIR OSMAN, COUNCIL

[1:43:25] » COUNCIL CHAIR OSMAN, COUNCIL

[1:43:25] MEMBER WARREN, YES, THANK YOU

[1:43:26] FOR THE QUESTION. I STILL OWE

[1:43:28] YOU A RESPONSE ON THAT ONE. SO

[1:43:31] THE WAY WE HAVE APPROACHED THIS

[1:43:33] SPECIFIC ORDINANCE WAS LOOKING

[1:43:34] AT ALL THE DIFFERENT FACTORS

[1:43:36] THAT WOULD CONTRIBUTE TO THE

[1:43:41] CREATION OR THE EMINATION OF

[1:43:44] MOLD IN THAT PROPERTY. WHETHER

[1:43:48] IT'S MOLD, ALL THOSE DIFFERENT

[1:43:50] FACTORS AND THE SITUATION THAT

[1:43:52] CAUSED THE MOLDND ALL THE

[1:43:54] UNDERLYING CONDITIONS AS WELL AS

[1:43:57] REMEDIATING THE SPECIFIC

[1:43:58] SURFACES OR WHATEVER IS DAMAGED

[1:43:59] BY THE MOLD. WHICH IS ALSO TO

[1:44:03] SAY WE'RE NOT GOING IN WITH AIR

[1:44:08] QUALITY SYSTEMS OR OTHER TOOLS

[1:44:10] TO BE ABLE TO EVALUATE WHICH

[1:44:14] SPECIFIC SPORE TYPE IS IN THE

[1:44:16] AIR OR ON THE SURFACE OR IN

[1:44:17] THESE DIFFERENT AREAS. WE'RE

[1:44:20] FOCUSED MORE ON ALL THE OTHER

[1:44:22] FACTS THAT WOULD LEAD TO MOLD.

[1:44:23] >> YES. AND I THINK WITH ALL OF

[1:44:27] » YES. AND I THINK WITH ALL OF

[1:44:27] THE WONDERFUL LEARNINGS THAT WE

[1:44:28] ARE LEARNING IN DEALING WITH

[1:44:30] HERITAGE PARK, THAT IT WOULD BE

[1:44:33] ADVANTAGEOUS FOR US AS A CITY IN

[1:44:35] ORDER TO HAVE SOMEONE IN OUR

[1:44:39] SIDE SELD THAT IS OF THAT

[1:44:42] EXPERIENCE IN ORDER TO AID US IN

[1:44:44] THESE DEEP-ROOTED INVESTIGATIONS

[1:44:47] BECAUSE AS WE ARE HOLDING

[1:44:49] PROPERTY OWNERS AND INDIVIDUALS

[1:44:51] TO THESE EXPECTATIONS, IF THERE

[1:44:53] IS AN ISSUE OF MOISTURE, WE KNOW

[1:44:56] THAT THE WALL HAS TO BE OPENED

[1:44:58] OR THE ENVELOPE OF THE PROPERTY

[1:45:01] ALSO HAS TO BE OPENED IN ORDER

[1:45:03] TO TRULY ABATE OR RESOLVE SAID

[1:45:06] ISSUE AROUND PIPE OR WATER

[1:45:08] INTRUSION OR SOMETHING AS IT

[1:45:10] PREPARES TO WINDOWS. IF WE'RE

[1:45:12] OPENING UP WALLS, THEN WE'RE

[1:45:14] PULLING PERMITS. IF WE'RE

[1:45:15] PULLING PERMITS, THEN WE'RE

[1:45:17] REALLY TALKING ABOUT PROVING

[1:45:19] THAT WE HAVE DONE THE

[1:45:20] DEEP-ROOTED WORK IN RESOLVING

[1:45:21] THE ISSUE AND THE'S AN

[1:45:23] INSPECTOR THAT COMES ALONG WITH

[1:45:24] THOSE PERMITS THAT ARE PULD IN

[1:45:27] ORDER TO INSPECT ALL THE WAY

[1:45:28] THROUGH THE PROCESS TO ENSURE

[1:45:31] THAT, YOU NEGOTIATION SHUT-OFF

[1:45:32] VALVES ARE PUT IN OR THIS IS

[1:45:34] DONE RIGHT OR THAT' DONE RIGHT.

[1:45:35] AND THE PLUMBING IS INSPECTED.

[1:45:38] THEN YOU GET PERMISSION TO CLOSE

[1:45:39] THE WALL. ONCE YOU CLOSE THE

[1:45:41] WALL, THAT'S INSPECTED. AND THE

[1:45:42] WINDOWS INSPECTED. SO WE HAVE

[1:45:46] WONDERFUL SYSTEMS THAT ARE PUT

[1:45:47] INTO PLACE. BUT WHAT I'M TRYING

[1:45:49] TO REALLY ENSURE IS THAT WE'RE

[1:45:52] HOLDING PEOPLE TO THE STANDARDS

[1:45:54] OF THOSE SYSTEMS THAT ARE PUT

[1:46:00] INTO PLACE AND REALLY DOING

[1:46:02] EVERYTHING IN OUR POWER AND DUE

[1:46:04] DILIGENCE TO PROTECT OUR RENTERS

[1:46:07] AS WELL AS OUR PROPERTY OWNERS

[1:46:08] IN THESE INSTANCES. RIGHT? SO

[1:46:11] THAT EVERYONE, YOU KNOW,

[1:46:13] EVERYONE'S A WINNER ALL THWAY

[1:46:15] AROUND. SO I APPRECIATE THAT. I

[1:46:16] LOOK FORWARD TO ME OF THESE

[1:46:19] CONVERSATIONS. AND US EXPLORING

[1:46:22] YS TO GET A MOLD ABATER, AN

[1:46:25] INSPECTOR ON TEAM WITH

[1:46:27] REGULATORY SERVICES BECAUSE

[1:46:29] THAT'S SOMETHING THAT IS

[1:46:31] DEFINITELY NEEDED. AND SO I'M

[1:46:33] VERY EXCITED ABOUT HAVING THAT

[1:46:36] CONVERSATION. THANK YOU,

[1:46:38] DIRECTOR VELAZQUEZ. THE END.

[1:46:39] >> ALL RIGHT. I'LL CSE IT DOWN

[1:46:40] » ALL RIGHT. I'LL CSE IT DOWN

[1:46:40] BY SAYING, YOU KNOW, I THINK

[1:46:43] COUNCIL MEMBER SHAFFER RAISED

[1:46:44] VERY GOOD QUESTIONS. THERE MIGHT

[1:46:49] BE SOME CONFUSION BUT HOPEFULLY

[1:46:51] WHEN WE RPEN THIS ORDINANCE,

[1:46:53] WE CAN MAKE IT FAIRLY CLEAR AND

[1:46:59] HAVE THE CITY ATTORNEY WK WITH

[1:47:01] US TO COME UP WITH LANGUAGE THAT

[1:47:02] WILL WORK. AND THE GOAL WE'RE

[1:47:04] YING TO SOLVE IS WE DO NOT

[1:47:08] WANT HERITE PARK SITUATIONS TO

[1:47:11] HAPPEN. RIGHT? WE HAVE A PROBLEM

[1:47:12] AND WE'RE TRYING TOIND A

[1:47:14] SOLUTION. IF THERE'S ANY

[1:47:18] CONFUSION, WE CAN ALWAYS ADD A

[1:47:20] LANGUAGE HERE TO MAKE SURE THAT

[1:47:23] EVERYTHING IS CLEAR TO THE

[1:47:24] COUNCIL MEMBERS, TO THE

[1:47:25] RESIDENTS, ANDLSO TO THE

[1:47:27] LANDLORDS. I'LL LOOK FORWARD ON

[1:47:29] THAT CONVERSATION. AND THANK YOU

[1:47:31] SO MUCH TODAY FOR YOUR WONDERFUL

[1:47:32] PRESENTATION. AND I WILL ASK

[1:47:34] CLERK TO FILE THAT REPORT.

[1:47:38] SEEING NO FURTHER BUSINESS
