WE JUST GOT THE LETTER IN TH

304
00:10:23,589 --> 00:10:26,325

IT'S NOT THE FIRST THING THAT

312
00:10:39,404 --> 00:10:41,640
THEY DIDN'T PAY FOR.  AND WE'VE

REALLY SURE WHEN THIS WAS DONE

316
00:10:47,747 --> 00:10:48,814
BECAUSE IT HASN'T BEEN DONE

317
00:10:48,814 --> 00:10:49,481
SINCE WE BOUGHT THE PROPERTY

318
00:10:49,481 --> 00:10:52,985

ADDRESS WITH STAFF DIRECTLY.

324
00:11:04,129 --> 00:11:05,164
>> OKAY.

325
00:11:05,164 --> 00:11:07,066
>> WE CAN'T REALLY ADDRESS THAT

326
00:11:07,066 --> 00:11:07,299
HERE.

327
00:11:07,299 --> 00:11:09,168

HENRY, AND BRIANNA CORY.

334
00:11:32,358 --> 00:11:34,092
>> FIRST OF ALL, I AM NERVOUS.

335
00:11:34,092 --> 00:11:37,763
I HAVE NEVER BEEN IN A HEARING

336
00:11:37,763 --> 00:11:43,302
BEFORE.  BUT I LIKE TO SAY THAT

337
00:11:43,302 --> 00:11:45,437
I PURCHASED A DUPLEX.  AND

338
00:11:45,437 --> 00:11:49,308
BECAUSE IT'S BEING A DUPLEX, I

339
00:11:49,308 --> 00:11:53,712
GOT A CORNER AREA.  AND MY THING

340
00:11:53,712 --> 00:11:56,715
IS THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT THEY

341
00:11:56,715 --> 00:12:00,653
WANT MEO PAY IS, LIKE,

342
00:12:00,653 --> 00:12:03,122
OVERWHELMING.  I WORK A JOB

343
00:12:03,122 --> 00:12:05,224
EVERY DAY.

344
00:12:05,224 --> 00:12:07,860
IT'S JUST OVERWHELMING.  THEY

345
00:12:07,860 --> 00:12:13,198
WANT ME TO PAY $3,600 AND SOME,

346
00:12:13,198 --> 00:12:16,435
AND IF THEY NEED TO FIX THE

347
00:12:16,435 --> 00:12:18,403
SIDEWALKS, I'M COOL WITH THAT.

348
00:12:18,403 --> 00:12:22,141
NO PROBLEM.

349
00:12:22,141 --> 00:12:32,718
THE THING IS RIGHT ABOUT NOW, I

350
00:12:32,718 --> 00:12:34,386
JUST ND TIME TO MAKE PAYMENTS

351
00:12:34,386 --> 00:12:35,821
OR DO PAYMENTS FOR THE AMOUNT

352
00:12:35,821 --> 00:12:39,291
THAT THEY ASKED ME TO PAY FOR.

353
00:12:39,291 --> 00:12:43,162
I'M HOMESTEAD, SO I LIVE IN THE

354
00:12:43,162 --> 00:12:46,665
DUPLEX.  AND I HAVE -- I DID NOT

355
00:12:46,665 --> 00:12:47,799
HAVE NO IDEA THAT I WOULD BE

356
00:12:47,799 --> 00:12:53,072
PAYING THAT WHEN IT WAS FIXING

357
00:12:53,072 --> 00:12:57,209
THAT.  UNTIL IT CAME IN THE

358
00:12:57,209 --> 00:13:03,115
MAIL.  AND ALSO, I THOUGHT I WAS

359
00:13:03,115 --> 00:13:06,218
RESPONBLE FOR THE SNOW AND THE

360
00:13:06,218 --> 00:13:08,053
ICE.  THAT IS IS WHAT I ASSUMED

361
00:13:08,053 --> 00:13:10,756
I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR.  I

362
00:13:10,756 --> 00:13:12,491
NEVER HEARD OF NEW SIDEWALKS AND

363
00:13:12,491 --> 00:13:20,466
YOU GOT TO PAY FOR THAT AND SO

364
00:13:20,466 --> 00:13:22,434
THIS JUST POPPED UP OUT OF THE

365
00:13:22,434 --> 00:13:29,141
BLUE.  AND I'M NERVOUS.

366
00:13:29,141 --> 00:13:34,079
IT'S JUST SOMETHING THAT I DON'T

367
00:13:34,079 --> 00:13:35,281
RENT THE OTHER SIDE.  THAT IS

368
00:13:35,281 --> 00:13:44,423
FOR MY CHILDREN.

369
00:13:44,423 --> 00:13:45,156
>>HANK YOU.

370
00:13:45,156 --> 00:13:46,558
>> THIS SEEMS LIKE SOMETHING

371
00:13:46,558 --> 00:13:47,659
THAT WOULD BE GOOD TO TALK WITH

372
00:13:47,659 --> 00:13:49,061
STAFF WITH AS WELL TO GET THE

373
00:13:49,061 --> 00:13:50,629
INFORMATION ON THE SIDE, AND

374
00:13:50,629 --> 00:13:52,031
THEY CAN WORK WITH YOU ON

375
00:13:52,031 --> 00:13:52,865
PAYMENTS OR SOMETHING.

376
00:13:52,865 --> 00:13:53,832
>> OKAY.  THANK YOU FOR

377
00:13:53,832 --> 00:13:55,935
LISTENING, YOU LM I PAID

378
00:13:55,935 --> 00:13:57,603
TO VACCINATE AND KEE HEALTHY

379
00:13:57,603 --> 00:13:59,971
SINCE I LIVED IN THE HOME.  THEY

380
00:13:59,971 --> 00:14:01,940
DESTROYED THE ROOTS WITHOUT

381
00:14:01,940 --> 00:14:03,342
CONSULTING WITH THE FORESTRY

382
00:14:03,342 --> 00:14:05,144
DEPARTMENT WHICH IS PART OF YOUR

383
00:14:05,144 --> 00:14:07,313
OWN FOREST POLICY THEY REVIEW

384
00:14:07,313 --> 00:14:08,880
BEFORE THIS WORK TAKES PLACE,

385
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:10,516
THEY REVIEW FORESTRY BEFORE THEY

386
00:14:10,516 --> 00:14:11,850
DO ANY WORK.  TS DID NOT

387
00:14:11,850 --> 00:14:13,285
HAPPEN AND I HAVE SUBSEQUENTLY

388
00:14:13,285 --> 00:14:14,353
LEARNED I AM NOT THE OY

389
00:14:14,353 --> 00:14:14,987
PROPERTY FOR WHICH THIS WAS THE

390
00:14:14,987 --> 00:14:17,022
CASE.

391
00:14:17,022 --> 00:14:18,457
SO THEREFORE, THIS IS ALSO IN

392
00:14:18,457 --> 00:14:21,293
VIOLATION OF OUR OWN MINNESOTA

393
00:14:21,293 --> 00:14:22,193
STATUTE -- LET ME FIND THE NOTES

394
00:14:22,193 --> 00:14:28,067
HERE.

395
00:14:28,067 --> 00:14:29,969
429.051, WHICH STATES THAT AN

396
00:14:29,969 --> 00:14:30,603
ASSESSNT CAN'T EXCEED THE

397
00:14:30,603 --> 00:14:32,704
VALUE IT ADDS, AND TO DATE THIS

398
00:14:32,704 --> 00:14:36,308
PROJECT HAS COST ME FAR MORE IN

399
00:14:36,308 --> 00:14:37,009
L

400
00:14:37,009 --> 00:14:38,310
PROVIDE TO THE PROPERTY.

401
00:14:38,310 --> 00:14:40,846
IN FACT, THE DESTRUCTION OF THE

402
00:14:40,846 --> 00:14:43,082
TREE HAS DEVALUED THE PROPERTY

403
00:14:43,082 --> 00:14:44,316
SIGNIFICANTLY.  IT PROVIDED

404
00:14:44,316 --> 00:14:46,485
SHADE.  I NOW HAVE AN OVEN IN

405
00:14:46,485 --> 00:14:48,954
FRONT OF MY HOUSE VERSUS A

406
00:14:48,954 --> 00:14:50,288
USABLE, ENCLOSED PORCH THAT I'M

407
00:14:50,288 --> 00:14:52,190
BEING TAXED ON.  ANYWAY, I HAVE

408
00:14:52,190 --> 00:14:53,792
IT ALL DOCUMENTED AND WL

409
00:14:53,792 --> 00:14:54,960
SUBMIT IT TO THE APPROPRIA

410
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:56,495
STAFF MEMBERS, BUT SINCE THE

411
00:14:56,495 --> 00:14:58,831
PROGRAM MANAGER IS HERE, I

412
00:14:58,831 --> 00:15:01,133
TALKED TO LINEA AND RUTH ON HER

413
00:15:01,133 --> 00:15:02,501
TEAM BECAUSE THIS WAS A VERY

414
00:15:02,501 --> 00:15:04,236
MISMANAGED PROJECT, AND MULTIPLE

415
00:15:04,236 --> 00:15:04,636
PEOP AGREE.

416
00:15:04,636 --> 00:15:07,039
IT WAS POORLY EXECUTED. HE

417
00:15:07,039 --> 00:15:08,473
DESTRUCTION CREW AS I CALL IT

418
00:15:08,473 --> 00:15:09,541
DID NOT DO THEIR JOB

419
00:15:09,541 --> 00:15:10,409
APPROPRIATELY AND MANY OTHER

420
00:15:10,409 --> 00:15:12,811
PEOPLE HAD ISSUED.  SO I WOULD

421
00:15:12,811 --> 00:15:13,912
ASK YOU AS CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS

422
00:15:13,912 --> 00:15:16,348
TO NOT TAKE THE LOWEST BID ALL

423
00:15:16,348 --> 00:15:21,720
THE TIME BECAUSE THEY SUCK.

424
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:29,594
SO ANYWAY, THERE IS A GREAT

425
00:15:29,594 --> 00:15:33,032
OPPORTUNITY AND RESIDENTS WHO

426
00:15:33,032 --> 00:15:34,833
WANT TOAKE CARE OF THEM.  I

427
00:15:34,833 --> 00:15:38,570
COULD GO ON AND ON, BUT I'LL

428
00:15:38,570 --> 00:15:39,371
STOP.  IF THERE ARE ANY

429
00:15:39,371 --> 00:15:40,472
QUESTIONS, LET ME KNOW.

430
00:15:40,472 --> 00:15:41,206
THANK YOU.

431
00:15:41,206 --> 00:15:41,973
>> THANK YOU.

432
00:15:41,973 --> 00:15:48,346
>> BRIANNA CORY, JENNY LAZARD.

433
00:15:48,346 --> 00:15:50,482
AND NUMBER SIX --

434
00:15:50,482 --> 00:15:52,884
>> YEP.  I'M THE PROPERTY OWNER

435
00:15:52,884 --> 00:15:55,821
AND WARD FOUR, RECENTLY BOUGHT

436
00:15:55,821 --> 00:15:58,490
MY PROPERTY BACK IN DECEMBER.

437
00:15:58,490 --> 00:15:59,725
AGAIN, I WAS LIKE THE FIRST

438
00:15:59,725 --> 00:16:00,926
LADY.  THIS WAS ALL NEW TO ME

439
00:16:00,926 --> 00:16:02,194
AND I WAS GOING TO COME AND ASK

440
00:16:02,194 --> 00:16:03,629
YOU TO DEFER THE PAYMENT SO I

441
00:16:03,629 --> 00:16:04,529
CAN HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO GO

442
00:16:04,529 --> 00:16:05,864
THROUGH ARBITRATION WITH THE

443
00:16:05,864 --> 00:16:09,068
SELLER OF THE HOME.

444
00:16:09,068 --> 00:16:10,001
SINCE THAT IS POINTLESS, I WANT

445
00:16:10,001 --> 00:16:11,803
YOU TO THINK MORE DEEPER INTO

446
00:16:11,803 --> 00:16:13,472
THE PROJECTS.  I AM HEARING FROM

447
00:16:13,472 --> 00:16:14,739
THE NEIGHBORS THAT THERE ARE

448
00:16:14,739 --> 00:16:16,408
TREES THAT ARE UPROOTING THE

449
00:16:16,408 --> 00:16:17,409
CONCRETE HERE.  SOUNDS LIKE ONE

450
00:16:17,409 --> 00:16:19,177
POOR DECISION IS LEADING TO THE

451
00:16:19,177 --> 00:16:21,480
CITIZENS HAVING TO PAY FOR THAT

452
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:22,214
MONEY, FOR THAT PROJECT THAT WAS

453
00:16:22,214 --> 00:16:23,315
DONE.

454
00:16:23,315 --> 00:16:25,050
AGAIN, I'M A NEW HOMEOWNER HERE

455
00:16:25,050 --> 00:16:25,684
IN THE CITY.

456
00:16:25,684 --> 00:16:26,985
I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT IS

457
00:16:26,985 --> 00:16:28,454
HAPPENING AT MY PROPERTY AHEAD

458
00:16:28,454 --> 00:16:29,754
OF TIME.  DIDN'T GET TO, WHICH

459
00:16:29,754 --> 00:16:31,890
IS FINE.  BUT WE CAN'T BE

460
00:16:31,890 --> 00:16:33,024
RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SIDEWALK

461
00:16:33,024 --> 00:16:34,226
SOMETIMES AND THEN OTHER TIMES

462
00:16:34,226 --> 00:16:40,031
WE'RE NOT RESPONSIBLE.

463
00:16:40,031 --> 00:16:41,132
DEEPER INTO WHAT WE'RE DOING IN

464
00:16:41,132 --> 00:16:42,734
THE FUTURE.  THANK YOU.

465
00:16:42,734 --> 00:16:45,370
>> THANK YOU.  NUMBER FIVE,

466
00:16:45,370 --> 00:16:49,908
JENNY LAZARD, NUMBER SIX, MUSE

00:16:49,908 --> 00:16:52,945
LANG, AND NUMBER SEVEN, SELENA

468
00:16:52,945 --> 00:16:53,312
GODDING.

469
00:16:53,312 --> 00:16:54,746
>> I'M GOING TO HAVE TO TALK TO

470
00:16:54,746 --> 00:16:55,814
SOMEBODY, TOO, TO SUBMIT,

471
00:16:55,814 --> 00:16:59,651
BECAUSE I'M RETIRED.  THIS IS

472
00:16:59,651 --> 00:17:00,752
OUTRAGEOUS.  AND THEY HAD TOLD

473
00:17:00,752 --> 00:17:07,225
ME BEFORE THAT THERE WAS A

474
00:17:07,225 --> 00:17:08,494
COULD HAVE HIRED OUR OWN T WE

475
00:17:08,494 --> 00:17:09,661
CONTRACTORS TO DO THE SIDEWALKS,

476
00:17:09,661 --> 00:17:11,129
AND I THINK A BUNCH OF US HERE

477
00:17:11,129 --> 00:17:12,397
ALREADY KNOW A BUNCH OF PEOPLE

478
00:17:12,397 --> 00:17:14,233
THAT COULD HAVE GOTTEN THIS DONE

479
00:17:14,233 --> 00:17:15,367
A LOT CHEAPER.

480
00:17:15,367 --> 00:17:17,402
SO THAT WAS MY INPUT FOR THE

481
00:17:17,402 --> 00:17:19,638
DAY.  MORE COMMUNICATION.

482
00:17:19,638 --> 00:17:22,341
THANK YOU.

483
00:17:22,341 --> 00:17:26,345
>> THANK YOU.  NEXT IS MIXED USE

484
00:17:26,345 --> 00:17:28,447
LANG, NUMBER SIX.  NUMBER SEVEN,

00:17:28,447 --> 00:17:29,347
IS SELENA.  NUMBER EIGHT IS

486
00:17:29,347 --> 00:17:31,316
RIC.

487
00:17:31,316 --> 00:17:32,784
APOLOGIES IF I GOT YOUR NAME

488
00:17:32,784 --> 00:17:33,185
WRONG.

489
00:17:33,185 --> 00:17:34,519
>> NO, THAT IS ACTUALLY FINE,

490
00:17:34,519 --> 00:17:36,154
THANK YOU.  SO I'M JUST HERE

491
00:17:36,154 --> 00:17:38,290
TODAY BECAUSE I AGREE WITH

492
00:17:38,290 --> 00:17:40,892
EVERYO ELSE.  THE

493
00:17:40,892 --> 00:17:42,494
COMMUNICATION WAS VERY POOR.  I

494
00:17:42,494 --> 00:17:43,929
SAW THE DATE ON THE NOTICE, BUT

495
00:17:43,929 --> 00:17:45,363
THEN IT WAS LIKE BY THE TIME IT

496
00:17:45,363 --> 00:17:46,865
ACTUALLY REACHED ME IN THE MAIL,

497
00:17:46,865 --> 00:17:50,202
IT ONLY GAVE ME A COUPLE DAYS

498
00:17:50,202 --> 00:17:51,970
FOR THE FIRST HEARING.  I CALLED

499
00:17:51,970 --> 00:17:53,405
AND I EMAILED.  I GOT NO

500
00:17:53,405 --> 00:17:54,973
RESPONSE.

501
00:17:54,973 --> 00:17:56,508
FOR MONTHS AN MONTHSND MONTHS,

502
00:17:56,508 --> 00:17:57,809
THE DEADLINE WAS COMING UP TO

503
00:17:57,809 --> 00:17:59,912
PAY.  NOW, ALL OF A SUDDEN

504
00:17:59,912 --> 00:18:01,479
THERE'S THIS NOVEMBER 15 DATE,

505
00:18:01,479 --> 00:18:03,414
BUT I KNOW ON MY NOTICE IT SAID

506
00:18:03,414 --> 00:18:05,817
JULY 17.  SO I FEEL LIKE FOR

507
00:18:05,817 --> 00:18:07,586
YOUR RESIDENTS, THAT'S KIND OF

508
00:18:07,586 --> 00:18:10,255
PUT US IN A SCARE TACTIC.  YOU

509
00:18:10,255 --> 00:18:11,556
DID THIS LAST SUMMER.  YOU COME

510
00:18:11,556 --> 00:18:14,426
BACK THIS SUMMER AND SAY, HERE,

511
00:18:14,426 --> 00:18:15,427
HERE'S A $4,000, $5,000 BILL

512
00:18:15,427 --> 00:18:16,594
THAT YOU HAVE LESS THAN TWO

513
00:18:16,594 --> 00:18:18,129
MOHS TO PAY.  AND THEN T

514
00:18:18,129 --> 00:18:19,932
PAYMENT OPONS.

515
00:18:19,932 --> 00:18:22,067
IT'S LIKE NO ONE TOOK INTO

516
00:18:22,067 --> 00:18:23,602
ACCOUNT THERE IS DISABLED

517
00:18:23,602 --> 00:18:24,536
PEOPLE, THERE'S VETERANS, PEOPLE

518
00:18:24,536 --> 00:18:26,538
ON FIXED INCOMES,UT YOU DON'T

519
00:18:26,538 --> 00:18:28,473
GIVE PEOPLE THE TIME.  IT'S LIKE

520
00:18:28,473 --> 00:18:30,309
A PANIC TO GET THIS MONEY PAID.

521
00:18:30,309 --> 00:18:31,243
YES, WE WANT OUR COMMUNITY TO BE

522
00:18:31,243 --> 00:18:32,510
GOOD.  WE WANT OUR SIDEWALKS TO

523
00:18:32,510 --> 00:18:33,579
BE NICE.

524
00:18:33,579 --> 00:18:36,014
BUT FOR US TO NOT OWN IT AND IT

525
00:18:36,014 --> 00:18:37,849
BE OUR RESPONSIBILITY, I THINK

526
00:18:37,849 --> 00:18:38,516
SOMETIMES THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN

527
00:18:38,516 --> 00:18:39,651
MORE COMMUNICATION WITH THE

528
00:18:39,651 --> 00:18:40,652
RESIDENTS ON HOW THIS PROJECT

529
00:18:40,652 --> 00:18:43,555
WENT FWARD.

530
00:18:43,555 --> 00:18:44,990
AND THEN THAT'S JUST MY TAKE ON

531
00:18:44,990 --> 00:18:46,458
IT BECAUSE -- AND THEN TO SAY

532
00:18:46,458 --> 00:18:49,027
THAT IF I DO, IF I'M NOT ABLE TO

533
00:18:49,027 --> 00:18:49,928
COME UP WITH THIS CHUNK OF MONEY

534
00:18:49,928 --> 00:18:51,496
RIGHT HERE AT THIS TIME, OH,

535
00:18:51,496 --> 00:18:52,898
WE'RE GOING TO GIVER YOU A

536
00:18:52,898 --> 00:18:55,934
COUPLE OPTIONS, BUT IT'S BASED

537
00:18:55,934 --> 00:18:56,902
ON THE COST.

538
00:18:56,902 --> 00:19:00,472
THIS COST TO ME MAY BE OKAY.

539
00:19:00,472 --> 00:19:02,540
THE SAME AMOUNT TO THIS PERSON

540
00:19:02,540 --> 00:19:04,476
MAY PUT THEM IN TREMENDOUS

541
00:19:04,476 --> 00:19:05,711
FINANCIAL HARDSHIP.  SO FOR

542
00:19:05,711 --> 00:19:07,613
THERE NOT TO BE ANYONE LOOKING

543
00:19:07,613 --> 00:19:09,314
OVER THAT TO SAY LET'S LOOK AT

544
00:19:09,314 --> 00:19:10,782
FINANCES, AND LET'S SEE WHAT YOU

545
00:19:10,782 --> 00:19:11,983
HAVE AND WHAT KIND OF PAYMENT

546
00:19:11,983 --> 00:19:14,519
PLAN WE CAN GET YOU ON, IT WAS,

547
00:19:14,519 --> 00:19:16,788
LIKE, NO, IT WAS HERE OR IT IS

548
00:19:16,788 --> 00:19:17,155
NOTHING.

549
00:19:17,155 --> 00:19:18,857
OR THEN WE TACK IT ONTO THE

550
00:19:18,857 --> 00:19:19,925
PROPERTY TAX SO YOUR MORTGAGE

551
00:19:19,925 --> 00:19:21,660
GOES UP AND NOW WHAT?  I CAN'T

552
00:19:21,660 --> 00:19:23,128
PAY.  I'M FORECLOSED.  BUT WE'RE

553
00:19:23,128 --> 00:19:24,429
TRYING TO BUILD UP THE CITY, BUT

554
00:19:24,429 --> 00:19:26,331
AT THIS POINT IT FEELS LIKE

555
00:19:26,331 --> 00:19:27,399
EVERYTHING IS BEING THROWN AT

556
00:19:27,399 --> 00:19:29,034
US, AS HOMEOWNERS TO RIP

557
00:19:29,034 --> 00:19:31,903
EVERYTHING THAT WE WORKED SO

558
00:19:31,903 --> 00:19:41,813
HARD APART.

I DID RECEIVE THE NOTICE, BUT I

567
00:19:59,764 --> 00:20:01,333
FEEL LIKE THE DEADLINES WERE

568
00:20:01,333 --> 00:20:04,303
JUST SLAPPED ON TO ME VERY

569
00:20:04,303 --> 00:20:06,471
QUICKLY.  I AM NOT OBJECTING.  I

HOWEVER, I DO AGREE WITH

00:20:11,909 --> 00:20:14,079
EVERYTHING ELSE THAT WE NEED

575
00:20:14,079 --> 00:20:14,312
TIME.

576
00:20:14,312 --> 00:20:15,246
I HAVE SEVEN OTHER PROPERTIES

00:20:17,683 --> 00:20:18,583
COMING IN SO QUICK AND IT

579
00:20:18,583 --> 00:20:20,952
DOESN'T REALLY GIVE US OPTIONS,

580
00:20:20,952 --> 00:20:21,886
ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE'S OTHER

581
00:20:21,886 --> 00:20:22,954
PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE TO TAKE

582
00:20:22,954 --> 00:20:26,524

LIVE IN THE KENNY NEIGHBORHOOD.

589
00:20:47,012 --> 00:20:49,814
SO THE PROCESS THAT I BECAME

590
00:20:49,814 --> 00:20:51,416
FAMILIAR WITH WHEN THEY WERE

591
00:20:51,416 --> 00:20:52,217

00:20:52,217 --> 00:20:53,118

596
00:20:59,291 --> 00:21:00,091

00:21:00,091 --> 00:21:01,159
PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT RIGHT

598
00:21:01,159 --> 00:21:02,827
AWAY AND TRIED TO GET SOMEBODY

599
00:21:02,827 --> 00:21:06,365
TO COME OUT AND WALK THE

600
00:21:06,365 --> 00:21:07,933
PROPERTY WITH ME BECAUSE I WAS

601
00:21:07,933 --> 00:21:09,835

602
00:21:09,835 --> 00:21:11,737
AND YOU GUYS DON'T RETURN PHONE

603
00:21:11,737 --> 00:21:14,806

604
00:21:14,873 --> 00:21:15,540
DEPARTMENT DIRECTLY.

605
00:21:15,540 --> 00:21:17,743
YOU HAVE YOUR 311 OPERATORS

00:21:18,576 --> 00:21:19,911
BE ABLE TO CONTACT PEOPLE.

608
00:21:19,911 --> 00:21:21,947
I FINALLY STARTED WORKING WITH A

609
00:21:21,947 --> 00:21:23,081
GAL, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE

610
00:21:23,081 --> 00:21:24,415
FAMILIAR WITH HER OR NOT, BUT

611
00:21:24,415 --> 00:21:28,086
SHE IS THE DIRECTOR OF THE

615
00:21:37,729 --> 00:21:39,631

616
00:21:39,631 --> 00:21:44,936
SOMETIME IN LATE 2025, EARLY

617
00:21:44,936 --> 00:21:46,772

620
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:52,978
I'M BEING TOLD NOW THAT THAT

621
00:21:52,978 --> 00:21:55,080
DOCUMENT, WHICH SAYS

622
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:58,517
UNDERSTANDING YOUR BILL WAS MY

623
00:21:58,517 --> 00:22:03,188
NOTIFICATION TO REQUEST A

624
00:22:03,188 --> 00:22:04,522
HEARING.  I'D BEEN IN CONTACT

625
00:22:04,522 --> 00:22:12,664
WITH HER FOR A YEAR.  I BROUGHT

626
00:22:12,664 --> 00:22:15,567
MULTIPLE PHOTOGRAPHS.  I BROUGHT

627
00:22:15,567 --> 00:22:16,634
THEM HERE.  NEVER DID ANYBODY

628
00:22:16,634 --> 00:22:17,569
COME OUT TO THE PROPERTY,

629
00:22:17,569 --> 00:22:31,516
CONTACT ME ABOUT THE PROPERTY.

630
00:22:31,516 --> 00:22:34,886
SO THIS IS THE FAILURE OF

631
00:22:34,886 --> 00:22:36,087

632
00:22:36,087 --> 00:22:37,823
THIS WOMAN WHO SAID THIS

633
00:22:37,823 --> 00:22:39,758

00:22:41,559 --> 00:22:43,395
TODAY TO PRESENT MY CASE, AND

636
00:22:43,395 --> 00:22:44,963
NOW LEARNING THAT THIS ISN'T THE

637
00:22:44,963 --> 00:22:45,730
RIGHT VENUE.

638
00:22:45,730 --> 00:22:47,666
SO YOU TELL ME.  WHAT AM I

639
00:22:47,666 --> 00:22:48,800
SUPPOSED TO DO?

640
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:49,167
>> THANK YOU.

641
00:22:49,167 --> 00:22:50,802

00:22:51,803 --> 00:22:52,871
SIT THERE AND LISTEN.

644
00:22:52,871 --> 00:22:54,673

00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:57,175

00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,589
NUMBER NINE.  NUMBER 10, MIOSHI

00:23:15,594 --> 00:23:17,662

I AM LOOKI A THIS IS BILL FOR

00:23:28,572 --> 00:23:30,175
$719.75.

662
00:23:30,175 --> 00:23:32,844
ME BEING A FORMER EMPLOYEE OF

00:23:32,844 --> 00:23:34,513
PUBLIC WORKS, WATER AND SEWER

664
00:23:34,513 --> 00:23:35,380

TREES IN THE BOULEVARD WITH THE

668
00:23:42,453 --> 00:23:45,857
PARK BOARD.  I DON'T THINK IT'S

669
00:23:45,857 --> 00:23:47,859
FAIR TO ANY OF THE CITIZENS THAT

670
00:23:47,859 --> 00:23:49,694
LIVE IN MINNEAPOLIS AS A CREW

671
00:23:49,694 --> 00:23:51,663

LABORER WORKING FOR THE CITY.

676
00:23:59,771 --> 00:24:01,406
IT IS NOT FAIR FOR US HOMEOWNERS

677
00:24:01,406 --> 00:24:03,275
TO PAY FOR THE CONCRETE PANELS

678
00:24:03,275 --> 00:24:04,508
WHEN WE PLANT TREES IN THE

679
00:24:04,508 --> 00:24:05,910
BOULEVARD WHEN THE TREE ROOTS

680
00:24:05,910 --> 00:24:08,446
ITSELF LIFT THE PANELS UP.  BUT

681
00:24:08,446 --> 00:24:10,248
Y'ALL WANT US AS CITIZENS TO PAY

682
00:24:10,248 --> 00:24:13,051
FOR THAT.  THAT'S NOT RIGHT.

683
00:24:13,051 --> 00:24:15,554
THAT'S NOT RIGHT AT ALL.

684
00:24:15,554 --> 00:24:16,554
I DON'T THINK IT'S FAIR FOR

685
00:24:16,554 --> 00:24:17,989
EITHER OF THE CITIZENS OF

686
00:24:17,989 --> 00:24:19,423

00:24:19,423 --> 00:24:21,893
CONCRETE REMOVAL AND SLABS OF

688
00:24:21,893 --> 00:24:22,994
CONCRETE WHEN THE PARK BOARD

689
00:24:22,994 --> 00:24:25,463
ITSELF PLANTED TREES IN THE

690
00:24:25,463 --> 00:24:26,932
BOULEVARD, NOT US! WE NOT ASKING

691
00:24:26,932 --> 00:24:28,700
FOR THE TREES.  WHEN I BOUGHT MY

692
00:24:28,700 --> 00:24:29,600
HOUSE, THERE WAS NO TREES IN THE

693
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,236
FRONT OF MY HOUSE.  THE PARK

694
00:24:31,236 --> 00:24:32,404
BOARD PUT TWO TREES IN FRONT OF

695
00:24:32,404 --> 00:24:33,371
MY HOUSE.

696
00:24:33,371 --> 00:24:35,574
THE TREE ON THE RIGHT IS MESSED

697
00:24:35,574 --> 00:24:37,742
UP.  THE ROOTS ON THE RIGHT IS

698
00:24:37,742 --> 00:24:39,210
MESSED UP SO BAD IT HAD TO

699
00:24:39,210 --> 00:24:42,714
CHANGE THE PANEL.  WHY SHOULD I

700
00:24:42,714 --> 00:24:43,681
PAY R A SIDEWALK WHEN IT

701
00:24:43,681 --> 00:24:46,318
DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH

702
00:24:46,318 --> 00:24:47,786
MY PROPERTY?  OKAY.

703
00:24:47,786 --> 00:24:48,420
RIGHT-OF-WAY.  MY PROPERTY IS

704
00:24:48,420 --> 00:24:52,123
BEHIND THE SIDEWALK.

705
00:24:52,123 --> 00:24:55,760
WHY SHOULD US CITIZENS, WHY

706
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:57,862
SHOULD WE BE FOOT WITH THE BILL

707
00:24:57,862 --> 00:24:59,364
WHEN WE HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH

708
00:24:59,364 --> 00:25:00,498
THAT.  WE DIDN'T PUT THE TREES

709
00:25:00,498 --> 00:25:03,068
IN THE BOULEVARD.  THE CITY DID.

710
00:25:03,068 --> 00:25:05,003
NOW Y'ALL WANT US, TAXPAYER,

711
00:25:05,003 --> 00:25:07,005
CITIZENS TO PAY FOR DAMAGE THAT

712
00:25:07,005 --> 00:25:08,706
THE CITY DID! I DID SOME MYSELF

713
00:25:08,706 --> 00:25:11,276
AS AN EMPLOYEE.

714
00:25:11,276 --> 00:25:13,578
MAKE THIS MAKE SENSE.  Y'ALL

715
00:25:13,578 --> 00:25:15,179
WANT ME TO PAY $720 FOR A PANEL

716
00:25:15,179 --> 00:25:16,081

00:26:02,360 --> 00:26:03,428
SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING

743
00:26:03,428 --> 00:26:05,497
FOR THESE TREES.  WHERE IS THAT

744
00:26:05,497 --> 00:26:07,332
MONEY GOING?  AND THEY SHOULD BE

745
00:26:07,332 --> 00:26:08,500
MORE MINDFUL IF THEY PLANT

746
00:26:08,500 --> 00:26:09,734
TREES, WHAT KIND OF TREES ARE

747
00:26:09,734 --> 00:26:10,802
THEY PLANTING?  WHEN THEY SEE

748
00:26:10,802 --> 00:26:12,103
NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT ARE

749
00:26:12,103 --> 00:26:13,471
GETTING ASSESSMENTS FOR THESE

750
00:26:13,471 --> 00:26:15,173
ROOTS, THEY SHOULD LOOK AND SAY,

751
00:26:15,173 --> 00:26:16,107
OKAY, THERE'S A PROBLEM HERE.

752
00:26:16,107 --> 00:26:18,076
THEY NEED TO RE-ASSESS THAT.

753
00:26:18,076 --> 00:26:19,143
AND WE SHOULDN'T BE RESPONSIBLE

754
00:26:19,143 --> 00:26:21,579
FOR THAT.  YOU'RE GOING TO PRICE

755
00:26:21,579 --> 00:26:22,714
THESE PEOPLE RIGHT OUT OF THEIR

756
00:26:22,714 --> 00:26:23,915
HOMES.  I KNOW MINNEAPOLIS IS

757
00:26:23,915 --> 00:26:25,850
BIG ON PUBLIC HOUSING -- I'M

758
00:26:25,850 --> 00:26:27,919
SORRY, NOT PUBLIC HOUSING, BUT

759
00:26:27,919 --> 00:26:29,220
AFFORDABLE HOUSING, BUT YOU ARE

760
00:26:29,220 --> 00:26:30,622
MAKING IT UNAFFORDABLE WHEN YOU

761
00:26:30,622 --> 00:26:32,056
CONSTANTLY INCREASE THE TAXES AN

762
00:26:32,056 --> 00:26:33,324
ASSESSMENTS.  THINK ABOUT THAT.

763
00:26:33,324 --> 00:26:34,325
THANK YOU.

764
00:26:34,325 --> 00:26:34,926

781
00:27:04,889 --> 00:27:07,092
I AGREE WITH THE ONE GUY THAT

782
00:27:07,092 --> 00:27:12,730
SAID THE ROOTS ARE CRACKING THE

783
00:27:12,730 --> 00:27:14,566
SIDEWALKS.  WE SHOULD HAVEN'T TO

784
00:27:14,566 --> 00:27:17,769
PAY FOR THAT.  I HIRED THESE

785
00:27:17,769 --> 00:27:20,071
PEOPLE, DYNASTY TREE EXPERTS AND

786
00:27:20,071 --> 00:27:21,740
THEY CRACKED THREE OF THE

787
00:27:21,740 --> 00:27:22,740
BLOCKS.  I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO

788
00:27:22,740 --> 00:27:24,375
GET THEM TO PAY FOR AND THEY

789
00:27:24,375 --> 00:27:26,878
WON'T RESPOND.  I AM NOT SURE

790
00:27:26,878 --> 00:27:30,081
WHAT TO DO.  I HAVE VIDEOS TO

791
00:27:30,081 --> 00:27:31,916
SHOW THEY DROP THE TREE PARTS

792
00:27:31,916 --> 00:27:33,318
AND CRACKED UP THREE OF THE

793
00:27:33,318 --> 00:27:34,551
BLOCKS AND THEY WON'T PAY.  I

794
00:27:34,551 --> 00:27:35,587
DON'T FEEL LIKE I SHOULD HAVE TO

795
00:27:35,587 --> 00:27:39,891
PAY AND I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO DO.

796
00:27:39,891 --> 00:27:41,493
>> REACH OUT TO THE FOLKS AT THE

797
00:27:41,493 --> 00:27:42,560
TABLE.  THAT SOUNDS LIKE AN

798
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:44,262
ISSUE THEY CAN HELP YOU WITH.

OFF HERE.

829
00:28:51,930 --> 00:28:52,330

>> SORRY.  I COULDN'T READ THE

831
00:28:53,898 --> 00:28:54,832
WAY IT WAS WRITTEN.  I'M SORRY

832
00:28:54,832 --> 00:28:55,800
ABOUT THAT.

833
00:28:55,800 --> 00:29:01,906
>> OKAY.  FIRST OF ALL,

834
00:29:01,906 --> 00:29:03,408
RIDICULOUS.  GOT ME FOR $5,363.

835
00:29:03,408 --> 00:29:06,945
WE'RE A SINGLE FAMILY.  NORTH

836
00:29:06,945 --> 00:29:09,447
GETS NOTHING EVER, EVER.  WE GOT

837
00:29:09,447 --> 00:29:11,449
NOWHERE TO SHOP.  WE GOT NOWHERE

838
00:29:11,449 --> 00:29:13,050
TO BUY THINGS, TO HAVE DINNER.

839
00:29:13,050 --> 00:29:15,019
IF WE DO, IT IS VERY SMALL, VERY

840
00:29:15,019 --> 00:29:16,554
LOCAL, BUT IT IS NOT ENOUGH.

841
00:29:16,554 --> 00:29:19,224
YOU TREAT US TERRIBLY.  YOU TAX

842
00:29:19,224 --> 00:29:20,325
US AS MUCH AS SOUTH OR

843
00:29:20,325 --> 00:29:21,993
SOUTHEAST.  IT'S RIDICULOUS.

844
00:29:21,993 --> 00:29:24,495
AND NOW YOU'VE THROWN THIS AT

845
00:29:24,495 --> 00:29:27,932
US.  I HAVE PICTURES OF MY CRAP

846
00:29:27,932 --> 00:29:29,300
NEW $5,000 SIDEWALK, WHICH YOU

847
00:29:29,300 --> 00:29:30,601
EXPECT ME TO PAY.  WE ARE A

848
00:29:30,601 --> 00:29:32,503
SINGLE FAMILY.  WE'RE STRUGGLING

849
00:29:32,503 --> 00:29:35,406
JUST LIKE ANYBODY ELSE.

850
00:29:35,406 --> 00:29:37,008
THESE SIDEWALKS ARE MAINTENANCE

851
00:29:37,008 --> 00:29:38,409
BIAS, BUT WE ARE ALL WALKING ON

852
00:29:38,409 --> 00:29:39,577
THEM.  THE REASON WHY I THINK

853
00:29:39,577 --> 00:29:43,548
THIS IS GOING UP OR THAT THIS IS

854
00:29:43,548 --> 00:29:45,483
HAPPENING IS BECAUSE OF THE NEW

855
00:29:45,483 --> 00:29:46,150
AMPHITHEATER THAT IS GOING OFF

856
00:29:46,150 --> 00:29:48,152
94 BECAUSE WE'VE GOT TO HAVE

857
00:29:48,152 --> 00:29:49,553
NICE PLACES TO WALK.

858
00:29:49,553 --> 00:29:50,321
W, BEFORE YOU DIDN'T CARE

859
00:29:50,321 --> 00:29:51,923
ABOUT NORTH MINNEAPOLIS, AND NOW

860
00:29:51,923 --> 00:29:53,024
WE HAVE TO HAVE NICE PLACES TO

861
00:29:53,024 --> 00:29:54,259
WALK BECAUSE THE SUBURBAN PEOPLE

862
00:29:54,259 --> 00:29:55,727
ARE GOING TO COME INTO TOWN.

863
00:29:55,727 --> 00:29:57,328
AND THAT'S REALLY WHATS O GOING

864
00:29:57,328 --> 00:29:59,564
ON HERE.  NOBODY CARES.  NOBODY

865
00:29:59,564 --> 00:30:01,499
HAS PUT ANY MONEY INTO NORTH

866
00:30:01,499 --> 00:30:02,233
MINNEAPOLIS FOR THE LONGEST

867
00:30:02,233 --> 00:30:02,634
TIME.

868
00:30:02,634 --> 00:30:04,235
AND WE ALL KNOW IT.  AND NOW THE

869
00:30:04,235 --> 00:30:07,171
SIDEWALKS ARE GETTING DONE AND

870
00:30:07,171 --> 00:30:09,040
YOU ARE THROWING THIS ON THE

871
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,008
PEOPLE WHO -- WHY NOT BLANKET

872
00:30:11,008 --> 00:30:12,610
THE AMOUNT ACROSS ALL OF NORTH

873
00:30:12,610 --> 00:30:16,414
AND THEN RAISE OURS A LITTLE

874
00:30:16,414 --> 00:30:17,748
BIT?  INSTEAD, YOU SINGLED OUT

875
00:30:17,748 --> 00:30:19,884
THE HOMES AND ARE DOING, EXCUSE

876
00:30:19,884 --> 00:30:22,420
ME, FINANCIAL DAMAGE TO ALL THE

877
00:30:22,420 --> 00:30:24,355
PEOPLE.  ALL OF US.  THERE ARE

878
00:30:24,355 --> 00:30:25,323
PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES AND

879
00:30:25,323 --> 00:30:27,158
VETERANS AND PEOPLE ON FIXED

880
00:30:27,158 --> 00:30:28,426
INCOMES.  AND THIS IS

881
00:30:28,426 --> 00:30:29,827
RIDICULOUS.  WE'RE A SINGLE

882
00:30:29,827 --> 00:30:30,561
FAMILY.  I DON'T KNOW HOW I AM

883
00:30:30,561 --> 00:30:34,198
GOING TO PAY THIS AND YOU'RE

884
00:30:34,198 --> 00:30:35,333
GOING TO CHARGE ME INTEREST ON

885
00:30:35,333 --> 00:30:37,602
SHODDY WORK AND WE HAD NO SAY.

886
00:30:37,602 --> 00:30:39,304
THE VASTNESS OF THIS WAS

887
00:30:39,304 --> 00:30:40,271
RIDICULOUS.  I CANNOT BELIEVE

888
00:30:40,271 --> 00:30:41,973
THAT YOU THINK THAT IT'S OKAY TO

889
00:30:41,973 --> 00:30:43,274
DO THIS TO NORTH MINNEAPOLIS

890
00:30:43,274 --> 00:30:44,175
AFTER THE WAY WE HAVE BEEN

891
00:30:44,175 --> 00:30:45,576
TREATED TIME AND TIME AGAIN.

892
00:30:45,576 --> 00:30:47,478
AND NEVER GETTING ANY OF THE

893
00:30:47,478 --> 00:30:48,813
AMENITIES THAT ANY OF THE OTHER

894
00:30:48,813 --> 00:30:50,448
CITIESET AND WE GET TAXED JUST

895
00:30:50,448 --> 00:30:54,852
AS MUCH.  ESPECIALLY NOW.  THANK

896
00:30:54,852 --> 00:30:55,519
YOU.

897
00:30:55,519 --> 00:30:56,454
>> THANK YOU.

898
00:30:56,454 --> 00:30:59,590
>> NUMBER 15, RACHEL JACOBSON.

899
00:30:59,590 --> 00:31:03,428
AND THEN NUMBER 16, KEN FRAZIER.

900
00:31:03,428 --> 00:31:05,596
>> GOOD MORNING.  I'M THE

901
00:31:05,596 --> 00:31:07,164
PROPERTY OWNER AT 4046 DUPONT,

902
00:31:07,164 --> 00:31:09,199
AND I AM JUST GOING TO PIGGYBACK

903
00:31:09,199 --> 00:31:10,267
ON WHAT EVERYONE SAID OR AT

904
00:31:10,267 --> 00:31:12,437
LEAST THE SPEAKERS SO FAR ABOUT

905
00:31:12,437 --> 00:31:15,506
THE LACK OF COMMUNICATION.  I

906
00:31:15,506 --> 00:31:17,175
UNFORTUNATELY WASN'T GIVEN THE

907
00:31:17,175 --> 00:31:18,209
OPPORTUNITY TO FIND MY OWN

908
00:31:18,209 --> 00:31:19,944
INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR.  THE

909
00:31:19,944 --> 00:31:21,612
FIRST I KNOWS I RECEIVED IN THE

910
00:31:21,612 --> 00:31:22,980
MAIL WAS ACTUALLY THE INVOICE,

911
00:31:22,980 --> 00:31:24,882
BUT IT WASN'T EVEN ADDRESSED TO

912
00:31:24,882 --> 00:31:26,750
ME.  IT WAS ADDRESSED TO

913
00:31:26,750 --> 00:31:28,152
SOMEBODY ELSE.  I'M ASSUMING A

914
00:31:28,152 --> 00:31:30,154
PREVIOUS OWNER OF THE PROPERTY.

915
00:31:30,154 --> 00:31:30,922
I HAVE OWNED MY OWN FOR OVER

916
00:31:30,922 --> 00:31:33,491
THREE YEARS, SO I'M NOT SURE WHY

917
00:31:33,491 --> 00:31:34,158
A DIFFERENT PERSON'S NAME WOULD

918
00:31:34,158 --> 00:31:36,461
BE ON THERE.

919
00:31:36,461 --> 00:31:38,162
AND THEN THE ONLY TIME THAT ANY

920
00:31:38,162 --> 00:31:39,263
OF THESE WERE ACTUALLY ADDRESSED

921
00:31:39,263 --> 00:31:41,332
TO ME WAS THIS NOTICE FOR PUBLIC

922
00:31:41,332 --> 00:31:41,799
HEARING.

923
00:31:41,799 --> 00:31:43,634
SO I WOULD HAVE LOVED THE

924
00:31:43,634 --> 00:31:44,702
OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE BEEN ABLE TO

925
00:31:44,702 --> 00:31:49,407
HIRE MY OWN PEOPLE TO DO THE

926
00:31:49,407 --> 00:31:51,509
SIDEWALK REPAIR AND THEN JUST TO

927
00:31:51,509 --> 00:31:52,944
SPEAK ON WHAT THE LAST LADY

928
00:31:52,944 --> 00:31:54,945
SAID, THE REPAIR WORK WAS VERY

929
00:31:54,945 --> 00:31:59,450
NOT -- IT WASN'T GOOD AT ALL.

930
00:31:59,450 --> 00:32:00,250
I WOULD HAVE PREFERRED NOT TO

931
00:32:00,250 --> 00:32:02,186
HAVE I DONE IN THAT WAY.  THEY

932
00:32:02,186 --> 00:32:03,520
ALSO LEFT IT WET FOR I DON'T

933
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:04,622
KNOW HOW LONG.

934
00:32:04,622 --> 00:32:06,590
AND THERE'S FOOTPRINTS ALL OVER

935
00:32:06,590 --> 00:32:07,959
IT AND PEOPLE WRITING THEIR

936
00:32:07,959 --> 00:32:08,659
INITIALS IN.  NOW EVERY TIME I

937
00:32:08,659 --> 00:32:11,262
GO OUTSIDE I SEE WHAT LOOKS LIKE

938
00:32:11,262 --> 00:32:13,297
GRAFFITI ON MY SIDEWALK.

939
00:32:13,297 --> 00:32:15,400
AND I WOULD HAVE APPRECIATED ANY

940
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:16,401
OF THE DOCUMENTS IF THEY WOULD

941
00:32:16,401 --> 00:32:17,835
HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED TO ME, THEN

942
00:32:17,835 --> 00:32:19,971
I COULD HAVE AT LEAST HAD THE

943
00:32:19,971 --> 00:32:21,839
OPPORTUNITY TO FIND OTHER

944
00:32:21,839 --> 00:32:27,045
METHODS OF THE WORK BEING DONE.

945
00:32:27,045 --> 00:32:31,348
>> THANK YOU.  NUMBER 16, KEN.

946
00:32:31,348 --> 00:32:33,151
>> YES.  GOOD AFTERNOON,

947
00:32:33,151 --> 00:32:34,886
COUNCIL.  NAME IS KEN FRAZIER T

948
00:32:34,886 --> 00:32:37,588
PROPERTY OWNER AT 4339 LOGAN.

949
00:32:37,588 --> 00:32:39,524
THROUGH THIS.  I USED TO HAVE A

950
00:32:39,524 --> 00:32:43,861
HOUSE ON BENSON AT 3523.  AND IN

951
00:32:43,861 --> 00:32:46,697
THE EARLY, SAY, 13 OR 14, THEY

952
00:32:46,697 --> 00:32:48,666
DID THE SAME PROCEDURE AT MY

953
00:32:48,666 --> 00:32:49,233
HOUSE

954
00:32:49,233 --> 00:32:50,802
AND THE GUY WAS POURING THE

955
00:32:50,802 --> 00:32:52,170
CONCRETE, BUT HE DIDN'T HAVE THE

956
00:32:52,170 --> 00:32:54,138
HOOP IN IT.  AND I SAID, MAN,

957
00:32:54,138 --> 00:32:56,441
THAT'S GOING TO MESS U AGAIN

958
00:32:56,441 --> 00:32:59,543
BECAUSE MY NEIGHBOR NEBLGS NEXT

959
00:32:59,543 --> 00:33:00,911
DOOR HAD IT DONE TWICE.  CAN'T

960
00:33:00,911 --> 00:33:03,147
YOU PUT THE HOOP IN IT?  HE SAID

961
00:33:03,147 --> 00:33:04,682
NO.  THE THREE, FOUR YEARS LATER

962
00:33:04,682 --> 00:33:06,350
THE CONCRETE IS RAISING UP AND

963
00:33:06,350 --> 00:33:07,985
HERE HE COMES AGAIN.  CAN YOU

964
00:33:07,985 --> 00:33:10,521
PUT THE HOOP THIS TIME?  NOW HE

965
00:33:10,521 --> 00:33:11,823
PUT THE HOOP.  NOW MY HOUSE

966
00:33:11,823 --> 00:33:13,291
AGAIN ON LOGAN, THEY CAME OUT

967
00:33:13,291 --> 00:33:14,425
AND WHEN THE GUY WAS MEASURING

968
00:33:14,425 --> 00:33:16,461
AND LOOKING AND MEASURING AND

969
00:33:16,461 --> 00:33:17,995
WHATEVER, I SAID, I CAN DO THIS

970
00:33:17,995 --> 00:33:19,730
MYSELF.  YOU CAN'T DO THIS.

971
00:33:19,730 --> 00:33:21,766
IT'S GOT TO BE DONE BY THE CITY

972
00:33:21,766 --> 00:33:24,402
CONTRACTOR.  I HAVE FRIEND OF

973
00:33:24,402 --> 00:33:25,002
MINE THAT ARE IN THE BUSINESS

974
00:33:25,002 --> 00:33:26,337
FOR $400 INSTEAD OF THE $900 I

975
00:33:26,337 --> 00:33:29,640
AM GETTING CHARGED AND THE CITY

976
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:31,075
WOULD NOT BEND ON THAT.  I COULD

977
00:33:31,075 --> 00:33:33,478
HAVE HAD THIS DONE AND TO THR

978
00:33:33,478 --> 00:33:34,946
REQUIREMENTS.  THEY SHOULD ALLOW

979
00:33:34,946 --> 00:33:36,047
HOMEOWNERS TO GET IT DONE AND

980
00:33:36,047 --> 00:33:37,548
HAVE IT DONE TO SAVE THEM THE

981
00:33:37,548 --> 00:33:38,549
MONEY BECAUSE THE COST COMES TO

982
00:33:38,549 --> 00:33:40,184
US.  IT DOESN'T GO TO YOU.  IT

983
00:33:40,184 --> 00:33:42,053
COMES TO US.  AND RIGHT NOW I'M

984
00:33:42,053 --> 00:33:43,988
STRESSED BECAUSE I'M ON A

985
00:33:43,988 --> 00:33:45,356
LIMITED FIXED INCOME, AND THAT

986
00:33:45,356 --> 00:33:47,125
WILL GO TO M PROPERTY TAX.  AND

987
00:33:47,125 --> 00:33:49,693
LAST TIME IT PUT MY HOUSE INTO

988
00:33:49,693 --> 00:33:53,931
-- INTO TAX FORECLOSURE.

989
00:33:53,931 --> 00:33:55,299
TAXES AND PUT THE PROPERTY TAXES

990
00:33:55,299 --> 00:33:56,467
OVER AND HERE THEY COME TELLING

991
00:33:56,467 --> 00:33:58,369
ME I HAVE TO PAY THIS OR LOSE MY

992
00:33:58,369 --> 00:33:58,669
HOUSE.

993
00:33:58,669 --> 00:34:00,638
AND I HAD TO COME UP WITH $4,000

994
00:34:00,638 --> 00:34:02,439
TO PAY THE TAXES SO IT WLDN'T

995
00:34:02,439 --> 00:34:03,941
TAKE MY HOUSE.

996
00:34:03,941 --> 00:34:04,942
AND I DON'T WANT TO BE IN THIS

997
00:34:04,942 --> 00:34:06,777
POSITION AGAIN.  I THINK THE

998
00:34:06,777 --> 00:34:07,978
CITY SHOULD BE MORE NEGOTIABLE

999
00:34:07,978 --> 00:34:09,780
INSTEAD OF THIS, THIS, THIS,

1000
00:34:09,780 --> 00:34:11,082
THIS.  WE LIVE.  WE HAVE TO

1001
00:34:11,082 --> 00:34:13,384
LIVE.  WE PAY.  WE'RE PAYING OUR

1002
00:34:13,384 --> 00:34:15,386
TAXES.  I LIVE LIVING IN

1003
00:34:15,386 --> 00:34:16,320
MINNEAPOLIS, BUT THIS IS

1004
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:17,555
RIDICULOUS.  THAT IS ALL I WANT

1005
00:34:17,555 --> 00:34:19,624
TO SAY.

1006
00:34:19,624 --> 00:34:21,124
>> THANK YOU.  IS ANYBODY ELSE

1007
00:34:21,124 --> 00:34:24,495
HERE TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM?

1008
00:34:24,495 --> 00:34:31,969
COME ON UP.

1009
00:34:31,969 --> 00:34:33,904
>> HELLO.  NICOLE DALLAS,

1010
00:34:33,904 --> 00:34:36,207
PROPERTY OWNER ON 42nd AND

1011
00:34:36,207 --> 00:34:37,608
DUPONT AND 46th AND OLIVER.

1012
00:34:37,608 --> 00:34:39,810
THERE ARE A COUPLE OF THING.

1013
00:34:39,810 --> 00:34:41,812
ONE, I DID NOT GET NOTIFICATION.

1014
00:34:41,812 --> 00:34:44,448
THEY SENT NOTIFICATION TO THE

1015
00:34:44,448 --> 00:34:45,649
WRONG ADDRESS AND THAT WAS ONLY

1016
00:34:45,649 --> 00:34:47,552
A BILL AFTERWARDS.  AND THEY DID

1017
00:34:47,552 --> 00:34:51,122
RECEIVE OR SEND NOTIFICATION

1018
00:34:51,122 --> 00:34:52,323
PREVIOUSLY AND BOTH ADDRESSES

1019
00:34:52,323 --> 00:34:54,258
NEVER HAD ANY NOTIFICATION.

1020
00:34:54,258 --> 00:34:55,526
THEY ALL WORK THEY DID ALSO

1021
00:34:55,526 --> 00:35:01,199
CAUSED ME TO HAVE TO REMOVE

1022
00:35:01,199 --> 00:35:02,433
100-YEAR-OLD TREE THAT NOT ONLY

1023
00:35:02,433 --> 00:35:03,901
DEVALUED MY HOUSE, BUT ALSO

1024
00:35:03,901 --> 00:35:05,168
INCREASED AND I HAD TO PAY FOR

1025
00:35:05,168 --> 00:35:07,338
THE TREE REMOVAL, WHICH EXCEEDS

1026
00:35:07,338 --> 00:35:08,506
THE AMOUNT OF THE BILL FOR THE

1027
00:35:08,506 --> 00:35:10,507
SIDEWALK.  I DON'T GET THE

1028
00:35:10,507 --> 00:35:11,742
CHANCE OR OPPORTUNITY TO FIX THE

1029
00:35:11,742 --> 00:35:12,943
SIDEWALK.  AND MY PORTION OF THE

1030
00:35:12,943 --> 00:35:14,545
SIDEWALK ACTUALLY DID NOT HAVE

1031
00:35:14,545 --> 00:35:15,346
ANYTHING WRONG UNTIL THEY CAME

1032
00:35:15,346 --> 00:35:17,215
AND MOVED SOMETHING OUT OF THE

1033
00:35:17,215 --> 00:35:18,416
STREET, DROPPED IT ON THERE AND

1034
00:35:18,416 --> 00:35:19,249
SAID WE WILL HAVE TO DO THIS

1035
00:35:19,249 --> 00:35:23,020
PORTION AS WELL.

1036
00:35:23,020 --> 00:35:24,021
SO THIS JUST SEEMS THAT LIKE

1037
00:35:24,021 --> 00:35:27,225
EVERYONE SAID, THE COMMUNICATION

1038
00:35:27,225 --> 00:35:28,191
WITH THE COMPANY HAS BEEN

1039
00:35:28,191 --> 00:35:28,693
HORRIBLE.

1040
00:35:28,693 --> 00:35:30,261
THE FACT THEY ARE PLACING IT ON

1041
00:35:30,261 --> 00:35:31,262
AND THERE'S BEEN NO PROJECT

1042
00:35:31,262 --> 00:35:39,470
OVERSIGHT IS RIDICULOUS.

1043
00:35:39,470 --> 00:35:40,071
>> THANK YOU.

TREE THAT WAS IN FRONT OF MY

HOUSE AND IS NO LONGER THERE.

1052
00:35:58,055 --> 00:35:59,590
AND THE PROPERTY TAXES WENT UP

1053
00:35:59,590 --> 00:36:01,626
AND DEVALUED WHEN IT'S BEEN

1054
00:36:01,626 --> 00:36:02,360

1146
00:40:07,938 --> 00:40:09,539
DIFFERENT SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS

1147
00:40:09,539 --> 00:40:12,142
THAT COME BEFORE US THAT WE DO

1148
00:40:12,142 --> 00:40:12,810
DO HERE.  AND IN OUR CITY CODE

1149
00:40:12,810 --> 00:40:13,277
WHEN WE HAVE AN ALLEY

1150
00:40:13,277 --> 00:40:13,877
RECONSTRUCTION OR SIDEWALK OR

1151
00:40:13,877 --> 00:40:14,511
LIGHTING, EVERYONE PAYS INTO IT

1152
00:40:14,511 --> 00:40:15,179
IF IT'S ON THEIR PROPERTY.  BUT

1153
00:40:15,179 --> 00:40:15,779
I WILL SAY THIS IS A NOTABLE

1154
00:40:15,779 --> 00:40:16,413
INSTANCE WHERE THERE HAVE BEEN

1155
00:40:16,413 --> 00:40:17,014
SEVERAL COMMUNICATION ISSUES

1156
00:40:17,014 --> 00:40:17,648
THAT HAVE BEEN CITED, WHETHER

1157
00:40:17,648 --> 00:40:20,084
IT'S GETTING INFORMATION BY

1158
00:40:20,084 --> 00:40:24,488
MAIL, HAVING IT SENT TO THE

1159
00:40:24,488 --> 00:40:27,224
RIGHT PERSON.  AND JUST RECITING

1160
00:40:27,224 --> 00:40:31,195
ISSUES WITH RESPONSIVENESS.

1161
00:40:31,195 --> 00:40:33,497
I WANT TO FLAG THAT AS STAFF TO

1162
00:40:33,497 --> 00:40:34,431
RESOLVE.  AND I HAVE SENT THAT

1163
00:40:34,431 --> 00:40:36,400
TO THE DIRECTTORS OF PUBLIC

1164
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:39,403
WORKS TO WATCH THIS HEARING.

1165
00:40:39,403 --> 00:40:40,837
THERE ARE MORE ISSUES AROUND

1166
00:40:40,837 --> 00:40:42,306
MMUNICATION THAN NORMAL THAT

1167
00:40:42,306 --> 00:40:43,541
WE HEAR ABOUT WHEN WE HAVE THESE

1168
00:40:43,541 --> 00:40:44,842
ASSESSMENTS, AND WE NEED TO

1169
00:40:44,842 --> 00:40:45,743
ADDRESS THAT.

1170
00:40:45,743 --> 00:40:47,144
I'LL ASK A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS

1171
00:40:47,144 --> 00:40:49,412
OF STAFF.  THE FIRST QUESTION

1172
00:40:49,412 --> 00:40:51,415
IS, COULD YOU JUST SHARE WHAT

1173
00:40:51,415 --> 00:40:53,117
THE NEXT STEP IS FOR INDIVIDUALS

1174
00:40:53,117 --> 00:40:55,185
THAT WANT TO APPEAL THIS AND GO

1175
00:40:55,185 --> 00:40:55,986
TO THE HEARING?

1176
00:40:55,986 --> 00:41:08,465
AND WHAT THAT WOULD MEAN?

1177
00:41:08,465 --> 00:41:11,634
>> CHAIR STEVENSON, COUNCIL

1178
00:41:11,634 --> 00:41:14,404
MEMBER OWDHURY, THE NEXT STEP

1179
00:41:14,404 --> 00:41:17,808
FOR PEOPLE THAT WOULD LIKE TO

1180
00:41:17,808 --> 00:41:21,011
APPEAL THEIR ASSESSMENT WOULD

1181
00:41:21,011 --> 00:41:22,412
HAVE BEEN ATTENDING AND SIGNING

1182
00:41:22,412 --> 00:41:24,414
UP FOR ADMINISTRATIVE HEARING,

1183
00:41:24,414 --> 00:41:26,083
WHICH WE HAD THREE OF THEM.

1184
00:41:26,083 --> 00:41:28,152
THERE WERE 21 PEOPLE THAT SIGNED

1185
00:41:28,152 --> 00:41:32,456
UP FOR THAT.  AND SO THIS IS THE

1186
00:41:32,456 --> 00:41:33,924
NEXT OPTION AND COME HERE AND

1187
00:41:33,924 --> 00:41:35,025
ABLE TO OBJECT IN WRITING OR

1188
00:41:35,025 --> 00:41:39,296
COME TO THE PB PUBLIC HEARING.

1189
00:41:39,296 --> 00:41:41,165
THE NEXT OPTION IS TO TAKE THE

1190
00:41:41,165 --> 00:41:43,634
CASE TO DISTRICT COURT.

1191
00:41:43,634 --> 00:41:45,836
>> OKAY.  SOEXPLAIN.  WHAT YOU

1192
00:41:45,836 --> 00:41:47,170
OBJECT IN WRITING AND THAT IS

1193
00:41:47,170 --> 00:41:48,939
JUST SOMETHING FOR THE COUNCIL

1194
00:41:48,939 --> 00:41:53,543
TO MAKE A DETERMINATION ON?  OR

1195
00:41:53,543 --> 00:41:54,911
WHERE DOES THAT OBJECTION GO?  I

1196
00:41:54,911 --> 00:41:56,347
THINK THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL.

1197
00:41:56,347 --> 00:41:58,115
AND KIND OF CLARIFYING THAT

1198
00:41:58,115 --> 00:42:00,250
DISTRICT COURT PIECE.

1199
00:42:00,250 --> 00:42:02,052
>> CHAIR, MEMBERS OF THE

1200
00:42:02,052 --> 00:42:02,752
COMMITTEE, GOOD AFTERNOON.  MY

1201
00:42:02,752 --> 00:42:07,992
NAME IS DON ELWOOD, THE DIRECTOR

1202
00:42:07,992 --> 00:42:09,426
OF TRANSPORTATION, ENGINEERING

1203
00:42:09,426 --> 00:42:12,429
AND DESIGN.  SO TO GET TO THIS

1204
00:42:12,429 --> 00:42:13,096
POINT, WE DID HAVE AN

1205
00:42:13,096 --> 00:42:14,365
ADMINISTRATIVE HEARING.  SOME

1206
00:42:14,365 --> 00:42:15,899
PEOPLE CHOSE TO GO TO THAT.

1207
00:42:15,899 --> 00:42:17,434
I HEARD ONE OR TWO PEOPLE TALK

1208
00:42:17,434 --> 00:42:19,436
ABOUT THAT.  I'LL FOLLOW UP WITH

1209
00:42:19,436 --> 00:42:21,305
STAFF ON WHAT TO DO THERE.

1210
00:42:21,305 --> 00:42:24,508
THE NEXT STEP IS THIS PUBLIC

1211
00:42:24,508 --> 00:42:26,744
HEARING WHICH WE'RE AT TODAY.

1212
00:42:26,744 --> 00:42:27,944
BY OBJECTING IN WRITING OR

1213
00:42:27,944 --> 00:42:29,446
COMING HERE IN PERSON, IT

1214
00:42:29,446 --> 00:42:30,681
PRESERVES YOUR RIGHT TO APPEAL

1215
00:42:30,681 --> 00:42:31,682
AT DISTRICT COURT.

1216
00:42:31,682 --> 00:42:35,519
IF YOU CHOOSE TO GO TO DISTRICT

1217
00:42:35,519 --> 00:42:38,588
COURT, YOU CAN TAKE THAT PATH.

1218
00:42:38,588 --> 00:42:39,456
OTHERWISE, THAT IS THE END OF

1219
00:42:39,456 --> 00:42:41,258
THE PROCESS AND IT GOES ON YOUR

1220
00:42:41,258 --> 00:42:43,794
TAXES.

1221
00:42:43,794 --> 00:42:46,030

WHAT OPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE FOR

1226
00:42:52,069 --> 00:43:01,011
FOLKS THERE?

1227
00:43:01,011 --> 00:43:04,048
>> I NEED TO CHECK IF THERE IS A

1228
00:43:04,048 --> 00:43:05,215
DEFERMENT OPPORTUNITY OR PAYMENT

IF YOU HAD A COMMUNICATION

1237
00:43:19,430 --> 00:43:21,432
ISSUE, IT IS REALLY HELPFUL IF

1238
00:43:21,432 --> 00:43:22,166

ADMINISTRATIVE HEARING NOTICE,

1243
00:43:39,717 --> 00:43:41,051
AND WHAT WE CAN DO TO ADDRESS

1244
00:43:41,051 --> 00:43:42,820
THAT OPPORTUNITY.  AND IF YOU

00:43:42,820 --> 00:43:44,855

00:43:44,855 --> 00:43:46,356

FORESTRY DEPARTMENT OR WHOMEVER

00:44:17,488 --> 00:44:20,457
IS PLANNING THE TREES ON THE

1256
00:44:20,457 --> 00:44:22,059
BOULEVARD PLAY IN THIS

1257
00:44:22,059 --> 00:44:35,305
ASSESSMENT PROCESS?

1258
00:44:35,305 --> 00:44:36,974
>> CHAIR, MEMBERS OF THE

1259
00:44:36,974 --> 00:44:38,175
COMMITTEE, COUNCIL MEMBER, IT IS

1260
00:44:38,175 --> 00:44:40,410
A VERY GOOD QUESTION.  IT IS A

1261
00:44:40,410 --> 00:44:43,146
BALANCE OF TREE CANOPY,

1262
00:44:43,146 --> 00:44:46,583
PEDESTRIAN ACCESS, HOW WE MAKE

1263
00:44:46,583 --> 00:44:49,086
SURE WE HAVE BUILT OUT

1264
00:44:49,086 --> 00:44:49,753
ENVIRONMENT FOR SIDEWALK AS WELL

1265
00:44:49,753 --> 00:44:52,789
AS TREE CANOPY.  THESE ARE

1266
00:44:52,789 --> 00:44:53,623
ALWAYS DIFFICULT THINGS WE NEED

1267
00:44:53,623 --> 00:44:57,227
TO BALANCE.

1268
00:44:57,227 --> 00:45:00,164
ALL THESE AREAS IN THE CITY ARE

1269
00:45:00,164 --> 00:45:01,632
DIFFERENT.  YOU MAY HAVE A WIDER

1270
00:45:01,632 --> 00:45:03,600
SIDEWALK, NARROW BOULEVARD, A

1271
00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:05,869
WIDE BOULEVARD, SO EACH

1272
00:45:05,869 --> 00:45:07,404
INDIVIDUAL PROPERTY MIGHT HAVE A

1273
00:45:07,404 --> 00:45:09,072
DIFFERENT SPECIFIC PROBLEM OR

1274
00:45:09,072 --> 00:45:13,210
ISSUE TO ADDRESS WITH TREES.

1275
00:45:13,210 --> 00:45:13,744
>> OKAY.

1276
00:45:13,744 --> 00:45:17,781
>> GLOBALLY, WE DO WORK WITH THE

1277
00:45:17,781 --> 00:45:21,952
PARK BOARD ON TREE PLACEMENT OR

1278
00:45:21,952 --> 00:45:23,554
WHEN WE HAVE A SIDEWALK PROBLEM

1279
00:45:23,554 --> 00:45:25,656
NEXT TO A TREE WE DO WORK WITH

1280
00:45:25,656 --> 00:45:26,990
THE MINNEAPOLIS PARK BOARD.

1281
00:45:26,990 --> 00:45:28,959

THEIR CARRIAGE WALK OR IN FRONT

1287
00:45:40,003 --> 00:45:42,139
OF THE HOME ON THAT LITTLETRIP

1288
00:45:42,139 --> 00:45:45,008
OF GRASS THAT'S NOT YOURS BUT

1289
00:45:45,008 --> 00:45:52,616
MINE BUT YOURS AND MINE?

1290
00:45:52,616 --> 00:45:54,551
>> CHAIR, COUNCIL MEMBER,

1291
00:45:54,551 --> 00:45:55,185
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE.  I

1292
00:45:55,185 --> 00:45:57,354
WOULD NEED TO CHECK WITH THE

1293
00:45:57,354 --> 00:45:58,688
MINNEAPOLIS PARK BOARD.  THE

1294
00:45:58,688 --> 00:46:00,457
PARK BOARD FORESTRY DIVISION IS

1295
00:46:00,457 --> 00:46:03,727
RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL MINNEAPOLIS

1296
00:46:03,727 --> 00:46:04,461
TREES.

1297
00:46:04,461 --> 00:46:06,663
THE SPECIES, WHERE THEY'RE

1298
00:46:06,663 --> 00:46:07,797
PLANTED, HOW MUCH EACH YEAR.

1299
00:46:07,797 --> 00:46:13,670
>> OKAY.  I'M AN ENVIRONMENTAL

1300
00:46:13,670 --> 00:46:14,972
JUSTICE CHAMPION.  I LOVE TREES

1301
00:46:14,972 --> 00:46:16,672
AND I LOVE TREE CANOPY, BUT I

1302
00:46:16,672 --> 00:46:19,309
THINK WHAT I'M HEARING HERE IF

1303
00:46:19,309 --> 00:46:22,012
I'M LISTENING CORRECTLY IS THAT

1304
00:46:22,012 --> 00:46:26,717
IF YOU'RE GOING TO TAKE AWAY MY

1305
00:46:26,717 --> 00:46:29,319
AUTONOMY TO DECIDE WHETHER OR

1306
00:46:29,319 --> 00:46:31,521
NOT I HAVE A TREE ONHE LAND

1307
00:46:31,521 --> 00:46:32,890
THAT IS YOURS AND MINE AND MINE

1308
00:46:32,890 --> 00:46:34,825
AND YOURS, BUT I'M IN TROUB IF

1309
00:46:34,825 --> 00:46:37,160
I DON'T MAINTAIN AND IF I GO

1310
00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:38,895
PLANT MY OWN HOSTAS OR FLOWERS

1311
00:46:38,895 --> 00:46:42,499
OR WHATEVER THE SITUATION IS,

1312
00:46:42,499 --> 00:46:43,800
THEN IT CAN'T BE A CERTAIN

1313
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:44,668
WHATEVER AND IAVE TO GET ALL

1314
00:46:44,668 --> 00:46:46,436
THESE SPECIAL PERMISSIONS, BUT

1315
00:46:46,436 --> 00:46:49,139
YOU DON'T HAVE TO ASK ANY OF MY

1316
00:46:49,139 --> 00:46:49,573
PERMISSION.

1317
00:46:49,573 --> 00:46:51,108
I'M SUPPOSED TO WATER THE TREE

1318
00:46:51,108 --> 00:46:52,709
AND DO ALL THESE EXTRA THINGS.

1319
00:46:52,709 --> 00:46:55,545
WHEN THE TREE DOES DAMAGE TO THE

1320
00:46:55,545 --> 00:47:00,817
SIDEWALK, THEN IT'S NOT AN EQUAL

1321
00:47:00,817 --> 00:47:02,052
DISTRIBUTION OF WHO'S

1322
00:47:02,052 --> 00:47:03,253
RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DAMAGE THAT

1323
00:47:03,253 --> 00:47:04,855
SAID TREE HAS DONE.

1324
00:47:04,855 --> 00:47:06,256
IF IT FALLS ON MY NEIGHBOR'S

1325
00:47:06,256 --> 00:47:08,158
HOUSE OR IF IT FALLS ONTO

1326
00:47:08,158 --> 00:47:11,061
WHEREVER OR IF IT TEARS UP THE

1327
00:47:11,061 --> 00:47:13,163
SIDEWALK OR WHATEVER, AND SO I

1328
00:47:13,163 --> 00:47:17,166
THINK TH IF YOU PUT IT THERE,

1329
00:47:17,166 --> 00:47:19,235
THEN YOU AS THE PARK BOARD OR

1330
00:47:19,235 --> 00:47:20,470
WHOMEVER, I DON'T KNOW,

1331
00:47:20,470 --> 00:47:22,906
FORESTRY, WHOMEVER, SHOULD

1332
00:47:22,906 --> 00:47:25,875
ULTIMATELY BE RESPONSIBLE FOR

1333
00:47:25,875 --> 00:47:29,446
WHATEVER DAMAGE THAT IT CAUSED

1334
00:47:29,446 --> 00:47:31,048
BECAUSE NO ONE ASKED PERMISSION.

1335
00:47:31,048 --> 00:47:33,150
I THINK THAT'S N FAIR.

1336
00:47:33,150 --> 00:47:37,154
THOSE ARE SOME OF MY THOUGHTS.

1337
00:47:37,154 --> 00:47:41,524
I WANTED TO ALSO STATE THAT I

1338
00:47:41,524 --> 00:47:43,160
THAT BEING DONE AROUND THE WATER

1339
00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:47,898
LINE REPLACEMENTS THROUGHOUT THE

1340
00:47:47,898 --> 00:47:48,865
NORTH SIDE.

1341
00:47:48,865 --> 00:47:50,233
I'M THE COUNCIL REPRESENTATIVE

1342
00:47:50,233 --> 00:47:51,534
FOR THE FIFTH WARD, AND ALSO

1343
00:47:51,534 --> 00:47:52,469
EING THE WORK IN FOUR AND IN

1344
00:47:52,469 --> 00:47:55,572
FIVE.

1345
00:47:55,572 --> 00:47:58,074
AND I HAVE HAD MY CONCERNS, AND

1346
00:47:58,074 --> 00:48:02,346
I'VE SHARE THEM BECAUSE I'M

1347
00:48:02,346 --> 00:48:05,181
SEEING, AGAIN, THERE WAS A

1348
00:48:05,181 --> 00:48:06,082
RESIDENT WHO MADE THE STATEMENT

1349
00:48:06,082 --> 00:48:08,752
ABOUT THE LOWEST BID NOT ALWAYS

1350
00:48:08,752 --> 00:48:10,053
BEING THE BEST OPPORTUNITY OF

1351
00:48:10,053 --> 00:48:11,220
THE WORK THAT'S BEING DONE

1352
00:48:11,220 --> 00:48:15,692
BECAUSE IT'S REALLY, I MEAN,

1353
00:48:15,692 --> 00:48:21,031
IT'S REALLY BOTCHY.  THE WAY

1354
00:48:21,031 --> 00:48:22,031
SIDEWALKS AND THE BOULEVARD

1355
00:48:22,031 --> 00:48:23,500
THERE IS BEING TORN U AND THE

1356
00:48:23,500 --> 00:48:25,135
GRASS IS BEING DESTROYED, AND

1357
00:48:25,135 --> 00:48:27,604
THE WALKS ARE BEING DESTROYED,

1358
00:48:27,604 --> 00:48:29,706
THAT ARE NOT, LIKE, WE DIDN'T

1359
00:48:29,706 --> 00:48:31,274
SIGN UP FOR THAT PART.  THE

1360
00:48:31,274 --> 00:48:33,410
WATER LINE STUFF IS COOL, BUT

1361
00:48:33,410 --> 00:48:36,713
I'M WORRIED ABOUT WHAT THAT'S

1362
00:48:36,713 --> 00:48:41,385
GOING TO MEAN FOR A BUNCH OF

1363
00:48:41,385 --> 00:48:43,787
OTHER RESIDENTS NAMING AS I AM

1364
00:48:43,787 --> 00:48:44,554
DRIVING THROUGH COMMUNITY AND

1365
00:48:44,554 --> 00:48:46,356
WATCHING A LOT OF THE THINGS

1366
00:48:46,356 --> 00:48:48,091
THAT ARE HAPPENI ON THE

1367
00:48:48,091 --> 00:48:49,359
STREETS AND STUFF.  AND WE WANT

1368
00:48:49,359 --> 00:48:51,060
OUR STREETS AND OUR SIDEWALKS TO

1369
00:48:51,060 --> 00:48:54,931
BE BEAUTIFUL.  WE WANT TO HAVE

1370
00:48:54,931 --> 00:48:56,466
NICE, GOOD STREETS FOR PEOPLE TO

1371
00:48:56,466 --> 00:48:59,536
DRIVE UP AND DOWN SO THEY'RE NOT

1372
00:48:59,536 --> 00:49:01,304
TEARING UP THE RIMS AND SHOCKS

1373
00:49:01,304 --> 00:49:02,706
AND STUFF ON THEIR CARS AND ALL

1374
00:49:02,706 --> 00:49:05,208
THAT STUFF.  WE WANT PEOPLE TO

1375
00:49:05,208 --> 00:49:05,908
HAVE NICE SIDEWALKS THAT ARE

1376
00:49:05,908 --> 00:49:07,411
WIDENED AND CLEANED AND PEOPLE

1377
00:49:07,411 --> 00:49:09,646
CAN ROLL THROUGH, WALK THROUGH,

1378
00:49:09,646 --> 00:49:11,114
WHATEVER THE SITUATION IS BASED

1379
00:49:11,114 --> 00:49:13,283
ON THEIR AMBULATORY NEEDS AND

1380
00:49:13,283 --> 00:49:17,187
WHAT HAVE YOU, BUT I DO HAVE

1381
00:49:17,187 --> 00:49:19,055
SOME CONCERNS AND I THINK THAT

1382
00:49:19,055 --> 00:49:22,025
THIS SHOULD DEFINITELY BE A

1383
00:49:22,025 --> 00:49:23,493
SHARED RESPONSIBILITY OR AT

1384
00:49:23,493 --> 00:49:27,197
LEAST AN ASK.  SO DO YOU WANT

1385
00:49:27,197 --> 00:49:29,999
THIS TREE HERE?  IF YOU WANT

1386
00:49:29,999 --> 00:49:33,270
THIS TREE HERE, THESE ARE MY

1387
00:49:33,270 --> 00:49:34,337
RESPONSIBILITIES AND OVERSIGHT

1388
00:49:34,337 --> 00:49:36,405
THAT I'M GOING TO HAVE OVER THE

1389
00:49:36,405 --> 00:49:37,407
TREE, AND THIS IS YOUR

1390
00:49:37,407 --> 00:49:38,341
RESPONSIBILITY AS THE HOME OWNER

1391
00:49:38,341 --> 00:49:40,343
THAT THE OVERSIGHT YOU NEED TO

1392
00:49:40,343 --> 00:49:41,678
HAVE OVER THIS TREE AND HOW

1393
00:49:41,678 --> 00:49:43,146
WE'RE GOING TO MAKE THOSE

1394
00:49:43,146 --> 00:49:44,747
AGREEMENTS ON THE FRONT END.

1395
00:49:44,747 --> 00:49:48,751
THAT WAY IT MINIMIZES THE

1396
00:49:48,751 --> 00:49:50,654
CONFUSION ON THE BACK END, AND

1397
00:49:50,654 --> 00:49:52,756
THEN PEOPLE HAVE THE RIGHT TO

1398
00:49:52,756 --> 00:49:54,057
CHOOSE.  THOSE ARE JUST MY

1399
00:49:54,057 --> 00:49:57,160
THOUGH.  THE END.

1400
00:49:57,160 --> 00:49:59,129
>> THANK YOU.  COUNCIL MEMBER

THE RECORD THAT LEGALLY WE HAVE

1405
00:50:03,867 --> 00:50:07,304
TO TAKE THE LOWEST BID.  WE

1406
00:50:07,304 --> 00:50:13,342
DON'T HAVE THE OPTION TO PICK

1407
00:50:13,342 --> 00:50:14,945
AND CHOOSE WHO ARE OFFERING THE

1408
00:50:14,945 --> 00:50:16,146
SERVICES.  WE HAVE TO TAKE THE

1409
00:50:16,146 --> 00:50:19,716
LOWEST BUSINESS AS A COUNCIL AND

1410
00:50:19,716 --> 00:50:21,218

ASK MY COUNCIL COLLEAGUE A

1415
00:50:29,392 --> 00:50:30,594
QUESTION.  IF WE TAKE THE LOWEST

1416
00:50:30,594 --> 00:50:31,995

1417
00:50:31,995 --> 00:50:34,030
BEST JOB, WHAT ROLE DO WE GET TO

1418
00:50:34,030 --> 00:50:34,831
PLAY IN THAT?

1419
00:50:34,831 --> 00:50:36,299
>> THE ROLE WE GET TO PLAY IN

1420
00:50:36,299 --> 00:50:37,600
THAT IS HOLDING WHOEVER IS DOING

1421
00:50:37,600 --> 00:50:39,101
THE SERVICE ACCOUNTABLE.  SO IF

1422
00:50:39,101 --> 00:50:41,571
YOU LIVE AT A PROPERTY AND YOU

1423
00:50:41,571 --> 00:50:43,840
NOTICE THAT THERE'S SHODDY WORK

1424
00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:44,874
OR SOMETHING THAT IS DONE,

1425
00:50:44,874 --> 00:50:46,843
BEFORE THOSE PEOPLE LEAVE, THOSE

1426
00:50:46,843 --> 00:50:47,677
THINGS HAVE TO BE REPORTED.  WE

1427
00:50:47,677 --> 00:50:49,212
HAVE TO MAKE SURE THEY FIX IT.

1428
00:50:49,212 --> 00:50:51,615
BUT LEGALLY, WE CAN'T SAY, I

1429
00:50:51,615 --> 00:50:53,116
LIKE THIS -- I MEAN, THAT WOULD

1430
00:50:53,116 --> 00:50:55,151
BE US GIVING PREFERENCE.  THAT

1431
00:50:55,151 --> 00:50:56,185
WOULD BE ME -- THAT WOULD GIVE

1432
00:50:56,185 --> 00:50:59,923
ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO SAY, MY

1433
00:50:59,923 --> 00:51:02,158
COUSIN DOES IT BETTER.  OR I

I'M GOING TO PICK THEM INSTEAD

1436
00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:06,897
OF THEM.  LEGALLY WE CANNOT DO

1437
00:51:06,897 --> 00:51:07,330
THAT.

1438
00:51:07,330 --> 00:51:08,565
WE HAVE TO ACCEPT THE LOWEST

1439
00:51:08,565 --> 00:51:09,899
BID, AND WE HAVE TO HOLD THE

1440
00:51:09,899 --> 00:51:11,735
FOLKS ACCOUNTABLE WHO WE'VE

1441
00:51:11,735 --> 00:51:13,937
ACCEPTED AND SAY THIS WAS NOT A

1442
00:51:13,937 --> 00:51:15,872
GOOD JOB.  YOU LEFT AND THERE

1443
00:51:15,872 --> 00:51:17,407
WERE -- SOMEONE SAID

1444
00:51:17,407 --> 00:51:19,175
FINGERPRINTS OR HAND PRINTS OR

1445
00:51:19,175 --> 00:51:21,344
LIKE WHATEVER IN -- THAT NEEDS

1446
00:51:21,344 --> 00:51:23,547
TO BE REPORTED TO US AND THEN AS

1447
00:51:23,547 --> 00:51:29,852
A CITY, WE NEED TO GET THOSE

1448
00:51:29,852 --> 00:51:34,024
CONTRACTORS BACK OUT TO DO THE

1449
00:51:34,024 --> 00:51:36,426
JOB.  THAT IS THE ROLE WE WANT

1450
00:51:36,426 --> 00:51:37,293
RESIDENTS TO PAY.  PAY ATTENTION

1451
00:51:37,293 --> 00:51:39,962
TO THE SERVICE YOU ARE GETTING.

1452
00:51:40,029 --> 00:51:41,665
OKAY TO SAY THIS DOES NOT LOOK

1453
00:51:41,665 --> 00:51:42,566
GOOD.  THAT WAS BAD.

1454
00:51:42,566 --> 00:51:47,003
I HEARD A MAN UP HERE WHO

1455
00:51:47,003 --> 00:51:47,670
CLEARLY KNOW WHAT IS THIS KIND

1456
00:51:47,670 --> 00:51:49,038
OF WORK WAS TALKING ABOUT.  HE

1457
00:51:49,038 --> 00:51:50,474
WAS TALKING ABOUT A RING OR NOT

1458
00:51:50,474 --> 00:51:54,044
A RING.  THOSE ARE THE THINGS

1459
00:51:54,044 --> 00:51:56,946
YOU HAVE TO REPORT BACK TO THE

1460
00:51:56,946 --> 00:52:01,584
COUNCIL MEMBER, TO 311, TO WHAT

1461
00:52:01,584 --> 00:52:07,490
WE KNOW THAT THE PROJECT IS NOT

1462
00:52:07,490 --> 00:52:08,825
GOING WELL.

1463
00:52:08,825 --> 00:52:10,126
