00:22:48,433 people who are the most 731 00:22:47,966 --> 00:22:49,300 vulnerable, those are the 732 00:22:48,533 --> 00:22:50,566 people who have been crying 733 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:54,566 out for

relocation 747 00:23:17,766 --> 00:23:23,466 policy is the fact that there 748 00:23:21,966 --> 00:23:26,600 are people, you say residents, 749 00:23:23,566 --> 00:23:26,966 who may not want to

00:23:33,500 the properties and you know 754 00:23:30,433 --> 00:23:34,966 that there is mold on top of 755 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,466 mold, that there are floors on 756 00:23:35,066 --> 00:23:38,233 top of floors, that there are 757 00:23:36,566 --> 00:23:40,733 walls on top of walls, that 758 00:23:38,333 --> 00:23:43,900 there's over 2,700 failing 759 00:23:40,833 --> 00:23:45,566 windows in that property, that 760 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,400 the entire envelopes of the 761 00:23:45,666 --> 00:23:49,600 buildings have to beemoved, 762 00:23:47,500 --> 00:23:51,766 the stucco

the 766 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:56,633 utilities for the property 767 00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:58,566 itself. 768 00:23:56,733 --> 00:24:01,966 the fact that I was told by 769 00:23:58,666 -->

residents living in there 773 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:10,600 because the campus is cut like 774 00:24:09,783 --> 00:24:12,833 swiss cheese that with only 775 00:24:10,700 --> 00:24:15,400 one or two residents living in 776 00:24:12,933 --> 00:24:18,366 a building that it's not even 777 00:24:15,500 --> 00:24:21,666 safe, that in order to service 778 00:24:18,466 --> 00:24:23,600 that building in the event of 779 00:24:22,716 --> 00:24:24,400 an emergency, if there was a 780 00:24:23,700 --> 00:24:25,933 fire or anything, they would 781 00:24:24,500 --> 00:24:27,000 have to removall the boards 782 00:24:26,033 --> 00:24:28,566 from the building, which would 783 00:24:27,100 --> 00:24:30,300 delay a response to a family, 784 00:24:29,266 --> 00:24:33,133 it is not habitable 785 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:34,233 if they have to remove all of 786 00:24:33,233 --> 00:24:36,000 the exterior envelope of the 787 00:24:34,333 --> 00:24:37,933 building, it's not habitable. 788 00:24:36,266 --> 00:24:39,933 if they have to depot inside 789 00:24:38,033 --> 00:24:41,766 and gut the entire inside of 790 00:24:40,033 --> 00:24:43,966 the building to remove the 791 00:24:41,866 --> 00:24:46,066 mold, it's not habitable. 792 00:24:44,833 --> 00:24:47,933 if every roof in heritage park 793 00:24:46,166 --> 00:24:48,833 has to be replad, it's not 794 00:24:48,666 --> 00:24:50,133 habitable. 795 00:24:48,933 --> 00:24:53,366 because the water intrusion is 796 00:24:50,233 --> 00:24:55,166 there. 797 00:24:53,466 --> 00:24:57,000 so I don't know why mpha, 798 00:24:55,266 --> 00:24:59,733

a 1079 00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:17,333 city, when we make these 1080 00:33:15,933 --> 00:33:18,800 substantial investments into 1081 00:33:17,433 --> 00:33:20,366 people's homes, this is not an 1082 00:33:18,933 --> 00:33:23,600 fordable housing project, 1083 00:33:21,066 --> 00:33:26,433 this is 400 homes that we 1084 00:33:23,700 --> 00:33:28,300 invested in, and we had the 1085 00:33:26,533 --> 00:33:30,000 front-row seat to this 1086 00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:31,033 development, and now we're at 1087 00:33:30,100 --> 00:33:32,333 this condition, we have the 1088 00:33:31,133 --> 00:33:33,233 same conditions we were 1089 00:33:32,433 --> 00:33:34,000 supposed to abate with the 1090 00:33:33,333 --> 00:33:36,600 const decree. 1091 00:33:34,100 --> 00:33:38,066 and now we're here. 1092 00:33:36,700 --> 00:33:39,333 so it is important and 1093 00:33:38,166 --> 00:33:40,566 imperative for cped to sit 1094 00:33:39,433 --> 00:33:42,033 down and figure that o. 1095 00:33:40,666 --> 00:33:44,033 we're going to work with the 1096 00:33:42,133 --> 00:33:45,366 other departments that are 1097 00:33:44,133 --> 00:33:47,233 within the city about what 1098 00:33:45,466 --> 00:33:47,766 went wrong so we don't have 1099 00:33:47,333 --> 00:33:50,700 this thing happen again. 1100 00:33:49,366 --> 00:33:52,900 it is not delight me to be in 1101 00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:53,766 front of you to talk about 1102 00:33:53,033 --> 00:33:55,733 th, but it is important for 1103 00:33:53,866 --> 00:33:56,733 the city to, when they know 1104 00:33:55,833 --> 00:33:58,700 something, to do something and 1105 00:33:56,833 --> 00:33:59,900 that's what wre here to do. 1106 00:33:58,866 --> 00:34:00,166 I hope I answered your 1107 00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:01,333 question. 1108 00:34:00,933 --> 00:34:04,833 » Yeah. 1109 00:34:01,433 --> 00:34:06,466 for sure, in part. 1110 00:34:04,933 --> 00:34:07,433 I want to make sure we get to 1111 00:34:06,566 --> 00:34:09,766 others r in the queue because 1112 00:34:07,533 --> 00:34:10,300 there's a number of council 1113 00:34:09,866 --> 00:34:11,800 members. 1114 00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:13,700 I did have a question, maybe 1115 00:34:11,900 --> 00:34:18,533 perhaps for the city attorney. 1116 00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:19,733 could youind of speak to the 1117 00:34:18,666 --> 00:34:21,800 risdictional issue that cped 1118 00:34:19,966 --> 00:34:23,133 came across? 1119 00:34:22,233 --> 00:34:24,966 that's requiring them bring 1120 00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:26,200 this policy forward. 1121 00:34:25,700 --> 00:34:27,266 » Sure. 1122 00:34:26,300 --> 00:34:29,800 yeah. 1123 00:34:28,033 --> 00:34:31,866 good afternoon. 1124 00:34:29,900 --> 00:34:34,933 so, essentially our existing 1125 00:34:31,966 --> 00:34:38,666 relocation policies, for 1126 00:34:35,033 --> 00:34:42,266 example, for redevelopment of 1127 00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:43,466 a project, which cped often 1128 00:34:42,366 --> 00:34:45,000 uses didn't fit with this one 1129 00:34:43,566 --> 00:34:45,600 because there isn't aually 1130 00:34:45,100 --> 00:34:45,900 redevelopment occurring at the 1131 00:34:45,700 --> 00:34:47,533 moment. 1132 00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:50,033 and, so, -- and then there's 1133 00:34:47,633 --> 00:34:51,466 also a separate temporary 1134 00:34:50,133 --> 00:34:53,333 relocation policy that is 1135 00:34:51,566 --> 00:34:54,633 generally used as part our 1136 00:34:53,633 --> 00:34:56,266 lead abatement program that is 1137 00:34:54,733 --> 00:35:00,000 really intended for a 1138 00:34:56,366 --> 00:35:01,516 short-term, you know, right, 1139 00:35:00,100 --> 00:35:02,533 contractors go in, remove the 1140 00:35:01,633 --> 00:35:02,966 lead, someone comes back 1141 00:35:02,633 --> 00:35:04,833 within a week. 1142 00:35:03,066 --> 00:35:06,666 and neither of those seemed 1143 00:35:04,933 --> 00:35:08,566 feasible here where the 1144 00:35:06,766 --> 00:35:09,500 overall coition of the 1145 00:35:08,666 --> 00:35:11,533 property and what the 1146 00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:11,966 long-term plan is is still 1147 00:35:11,633 --> 00:35:14,600 unclear. 1148 00:35:12,066 --> 00:35:17,100 and, so, looking at those 1149 00:35:14,700 --> 00:35:19,233 existing options, there wasn't 1150 00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:22,300 anything that fits squarely in 1151 00:35:19,333 --> 00:35:23,533 this need of a voluntary 1152 00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:24,300 relocation of an undetermined 1153 00:35:23,633 --> 00:35:26,833 duration. 1154 00:35:24,533 --> 00:35:28,933 and, so, that was where we 1155 00:35:26,933 --> 00:35:31,333 just did not think either 1156 00:35:29,033 --> 00:35:33,066 existing policy would work and 1157 00:35:31,433 --> 00:35:33,933 it would be better for 1158 00:35:33,166 --> 00:35:37,000 everyone and I think provide a 1159 00:35:34,033 --> 00:35:37,633 lot of clarity, frankly, for 1160 00:35:37,100 --> 00:35:39,566 folks within heritage park to 1161 00:35:37,733 --> 00:35:41,300 understand what the potential 1162 00:35:39,700 --> 00:35:45,033 befits would be and have 1163 00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:46,900 some clearly defined standards 1164 00:35:45,550 --> 00:35:47,566 and benefits for how those 1165 00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:51,266 determinations would be made 1166 00:35:47,666 --> 00:35:53,566 instead of trying to just kind 1167 00:35:51,533 --> 00:35:54,533 of cobble togetheromethingthrout 1168 00:35:53,666 --> 00:35:55,433 don't really fit this 1169 00:35:54,633 --> 00:35:56,633 scenario. 1170 00:35:55,766 --> 00:35:58,350 » Okay. 1171 00:35:56,766 --> 00:35:59,566 th's helpful. 1172 00:35:58,533 --> 00:36:00,133 I definitely think it opens up 1173 00:35:59,666 --> 00:36:01,533 other questions. 1174 00:36:00,233 --> 00:36:05,333 my last thing, then I'll pass 1175 00:36:01,933 --> 00:36:07,566 it on, is what I see attache 1176 00:36:05,433 --> 00:36:10,066 in the lims file and the rca 1177 00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:10,900 is not a typical policy format 1178 00:36:10,166 --> 00:36:12,166 that we see. 1179 00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:14,000 we usually see a policy 1180 00:36:12,266 --> 00:36:16,533 resolution or an ordinance. 1181 00:36:14,100 --> 00:36:18,666 could you speak to what policy 1182 00:36:16,633 --> 00:36:20,300 format this is? 1183 00:36:18,766 --> 00:36:21,933 that we are passing. 1184 00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:22,833 or voting on. 1185 00:36:22,233 --> 00:36:26,000 » Sure. 1186 00:36:23,100 --> 00:36:27,000 so this one was drafted and 1187 00:36:26,100 --> 00:36:28,500 intended so it woulde as 1188 00:36:27,100 --> 00:36:29,833 clear as possible so folks 1189 00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:31,600 both within the city and 1190 00:36:29,933 --> 00:36:32,766 outside of the city would get 1191 00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:35,300 a clear understanding of what 1192 00:36:32,866 --> 00:36:35,866 the benefits would be and how 1193 00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:39,266 the policy works. 1194 00:36:35,966 --> 00:36:41,900 and, so, we want this to be 1195 00:36:39,366 --> 00:36:42,533 someing that everyone can 1196 00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:44,833 see. 1197 00:36:43,366 --> 00:36:47,033 I think it is written somewhat 1198 00:36:45,166 --> 00:36:48,800 similarly to our existing 1199 00:36:47,133 --> 00:36:50,433 relocation polies from cped. 1200 00:36:48,900 --> 00:36:51,400 but in terms of whether a 1201 00:36:50,533 --> 00:36:52,500 resolution will be added to it 1202 00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:54,000 or not, this is something 1203 00:36:52,700 --> 00:36:55,566 we're working with the clerk's 1204 00:36:54,100 --> 00:36:55,833 office to finalize before 1205 00:36:55,666 --> 00:36:56,233 thursday. 1206 00:36:55,933 --> 00:36:57,766 » Yeah. 1207 00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:59,200 I see that this is available, 1208 00:36:57,866 --> 00:37:00,566 clearly, for the public to 1209 00:36:59,300 --> 00:37:01,866 understand. 1210 00:37:00,666 --> 00:37:03,833 I just- for me, it's 1211 00:37:01,966 --> 00:37:06,433 important that, like, we have 1212 00:37:03,933 --> 00:37:10,600 clarity as a legislative body 1213 00:37:07,833 --> 00:37:12,966 in what way we're approving 1214 00:37:10,700 --> 00:37:15,200 legislation, right, because we 1215 00:37:13,066 --> 00:37:17,466 typically have an author, 1216 00:37:15,300 --> 00:37:18,666 there's no author on this. 1217 00:37:17,566 --> 00:37:20,533 right? 1218 00:37:18,766 --> 00:37:23,400 and we also have a process 1219 00:37:20,633 --> 00:37:23,766 that shows, like, this is when 1220 00:37:23,500 --> 00:37:25,033 it's enacted. 1221 00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:27,233 I also have some questions 1222 00:37:25,133 --> 00:37:29,333 about, like, do whave to 1223 00:37:27,333 --> 00:37:32,166 pass something in order to 1224 00:37:29,433 --> 00:37:33,566 void this policy? 1225 00:37:32,266 --> 00:37:35,566 we're using the -- we're using 1226 00:37:33,666 --> 00:37:36,633 the term "licy" really 1227 00:37:35,666 --> 00:37:38,200 broadly, and up here every 1228 00:37:36,733 --> 00:37:40,033 time we've had a policy 1229 00:37:38,300 --> 00:37:42,666 discussion it hado be really 1230 00:37:40,133 --> 00:37:44,333 clear in terms of this is the 1231 00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:45,966 type of -- it's a policy 1232 00:37:44,433 --> 00:37:47,600 resolution or it's an 1233 00:37:46,066 --> 00:37:48,600 ordinance or it's this 1234 00:37:47,733 --> 00:37:51,533 ecific thing. 1235 00:37:49,566 --> 00:37:54,400 additionally, I feel like -- 1236 00:37:51,633 --> 00:37:55,833 this isn't to speak against 1237 00:37:54,500

00:38:06,466 there's obvioly a financial 1245 00:38:06,333 --> 00:38:08,633 impact. 1246 00:38:06,566 --> 00:38:10,066 there's the $2.5 million we 1247 00:38:08,733 --> 00:38:10,600 passed, buthere isn't an 1248 00:38:10,166 --> 00:38:12,133 attached fiscal note. 1249 00:38:10,766 --> 00:38:12,500 so I just wanted to point that 1250 00:38:12,433 --> 00:38:17,433 out. 1251 00:38:12,666 -->

00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:23,066 context for people because it 1629 00:49:22,300 --> 00:49:27,800 gets complicated. 1630 00:49:24,483 --> 00:49:29,900 when we presented the $2.5 1631 00:49:27,900 --> 00:49:33,400 million, that was a number 1632 00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:33,933 that was for -- primarily for 1633 00:49:33,500 --> 00:49:36,133 short-term rehab costs. 1634 00:49:34,033 --> 00:49:37,333

quickly in the 1638 00:49:40,733 --> 00:49:43,033 last week before we were in 1639 00:49:41,833 --> 00:49:45,233 front of the council that we 1640 00:49:43,133 --> 00:49:46,566 added t relocation and

--> 00:49:53,766 and, so, that money came from 1645 00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:54,100 the affordable housing trust 1646 00:49:53,866 --> 00:49:57,800 fund. 1647 00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:59,666 we're looking at the 1648 00:49:57,900 --> 00:50:00,433 discretions with cped about 1649 00:49:59,766 --> 00:50:01,633 where it would go. 1650 00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:03,000 we could not get to how much 1651 00:50:01,733 --> 00:50:04,800 it would cost to relocate 1652 00:50:03,100 --> 00:50:06,966 until we have a plan, and that 1653 00:50:04,900 --> 00:50:08,300 will come out of ts policy. 1654 00:50:07,066 --> 00:50:08,633 that will give you the 1655 00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:10,300 benefits. 1656 00:50:08,733 --> 00:50:11,933 and to your point, it's, you 1657 00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:12,900 know, going to probably not 1658 00:50:12,033 --> 00:50:14,866 exceed $2.5 million. 1659 00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:18,366 we will have to pay the 1660 00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:19,466 relocation consultant. 1661 00:50:18,533 --> 00:50:22,300 so thas the negotiation that 1662 00:50:19,566 --> 00:50:25,700 we're working on, that's goingt5 1663 00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:27,466 million. 1664 00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:29,533 undetermined at this point. 1665 00:50:27,566 --> 00:50:29,866 and then we're looking at th 1666 00:50:29,633 --> 00:50:30,966 long term. 1667 00:50:29,966 --> 00:50:33,566 like I don't know if we are 1668 00:50:31,700 --> 00:50:35,866 going to authorize 1669 00:50:33,666 --> 00:50:37,066 improvements, you know, we' 1670 00:50:35,966 --> 00:50:37,933 focused primarily on making 1671 00:50:37,166 --> 00:50:38,533 sure we have mey for 1672 00:50:38,033 --> 00:50:40,033 relocation. 1673 00:50:38,633 --> 00:50:43,433 after that, we could have 1674 00:50:40,133 --> 00:50:45,066 funding available for rehab. 1675 00:50:43,533 --> 00:50:46,500 unfortunately, I don't know if 1676 00:50:45,166 --> 00:50:47,266 that's worth it without a 1677 00:50:46,600 --> 00:50:49,300 global plan. 1678 00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:51,433 so cped has bn working on 1679 00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:54,166 the global plan with the 1680 00:50:51,533 --> 00:50:55,466 receiver, mpha, and the 1681 00:50:54,266 --> 00:50:56,766 property manager, and that is 1682 00:50:55,566 --> 00:50:57,766 going to require tens of 1683 00:50:56,866 --> 00:50:57,966 millions o dollars in rehab 1684 00:50:57,866 --> 00:50:58,966 costs. 1685 00:50:58,066 --> 00:51:00,266 and I think that might be our 1686 00:50:59,066 --> 00:51:02,033 focus. 1687 00:51:00,366 --> 00:51:02,966 we might be tacting towards 1688 00:51:02,133 --> 00:51:05,333 that focus and you might see 1689 00:51:03,333 --> 00:51:06,966 that the $2.5 million isn't 1690 00:51:05,433 --> 00:51:08,833 fully exhausted through this, 1691 00:51:07,066 --> 00:51:10,566 but it's still too early to be 1692 00:51:08,933 --> 00:51:11,566 known but we'll be reporti 1693 00:51:10,666 --> 00:51:12,533 out on expenses. 1694 00:51:11,666 --> 00:51:12,833 we're starting with 1695 00:51:12,633 --> 00:51:15,233 relocation. 1696 00:51:12,966 --> 00:51:17,666 » Okay.before thursday, I would 1697 00:51:15,333 --> 00:51:21,300 really like to understand what 1698 00:51:17,766 --> 00:51:22,400 we're paying to srp, is it a 1699 00:51:21,400 --> 00:51:23,700 percentage, is it a flat rate? 1700 00:51:22,766 --> 00:51:26,033 I mean, this is getting back 1701 00:51:24,066 --> 00:51:28,433 to the fiscal note that 1702 00:51:26,133 --> 00:51:30,066 council member chowdhury was. 1703 00:51:28,533 --> 00:51:31,433 so, I would like to have

00:51:34,366 --> 00:51:37,000 $2.5 then -- I thought it was 1708 00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:39,400 for repairs and relocation. 1709 00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:40,833 but that needs to be clarified 1710

00:51:46,400 that's going to be more than 1714 00:51:45,533 --> 00:51:47,466 what we really need. 1715 00:51:46,500 --> 00:51:51,033 but I'd like to understand 1716 00:51:47,566 --> 00:51:51,766 what

I think it's 2004 00:59:37,100 --> 00:59:39,566 important for the minneapolis 2005 00:59:39,100 --> 00:59:41,566 public housing authority to 2006 00:59:39,666 --> 00:59:42,666 take care of its

00:59:53,800 reasons we've articulated over 2014 00:59:52,533 --> 00:59:56,033 the last few council meetings 2015 00:59:53,900 --> 00:59:56,900 with you on this subject. 2016 00:59:56,133 --> 00:59:58,233 and, so, I think it's the 2017 00:59:57,000 --> 00:59:58,533 right thing that the city is 2018 00:59:58,333 --> 01:00:00,266 doing. 2019 00:59:58,633 --> 01:00:02,266 but w need to make sure that 2020 01:00:00,366 --> 01:00:04,200 the mpha uses their resources 2021 01:00:02,366 --> 01:00:06,300 for the mph units, and then we 2022 01:00:04,300 --> 01:00:08,200 can provide for the ones that 2023 01:00:06,533 --> 01:00:11,266 do not qualify for them. 2024 01:00:09,233 --> 01:00:13,433 » But seems like like there's 2025 01:00:11,433 --> 01:00:15,633 no policy that could preclude 2026 01:00:13,533 --> 01:00:17,166 us from assisting with the 2027 01:00:15,666 --> 01:00:18,733 mpha residents if needed? 2028 01:00:17,266 --> 01:00:19,600 » Chair chowdhury, cncil 2029 01:00:18,833 -->

some 2033 01:00:23,666 --> 01:00:27,666 restrictions on how we are 2034 01:00:26,366 --> 01:00:30,000 managing or potentially 2035 01:00:27,766 --> 01:00:30,866 interfering with public 2036

01:00:38,766 I mean, what can we do say 2040 01:00:37,833 --> 01:00:39,100 question and what should we 2041 01:00:38,866 --> 01:00:40,300 do. 2042 01:00:39,300 --> 01:00:41,000 and I'm going to tell

01:02:25,233 step from the appropriation 2103 01:02:23,833 --> 01:02:26,800 that you guys approved, which 2104 01:02:25,333 --> 01:02:27,666 does have a fiscal note, back 2105 01:02:26,900 --> 01:02:28,533 in july. 2106 01:02:27,766 --> 01:02:30,000 and, so, this is just t 2107 01:02:28,633 --> 01:02:31,200 policy that helps us direct 2108 01:02:30,100 --> 01:02:32,400 how to use the funding that 2109 01:02:31,300 --> 01:02:34,600 was moved from the affordable 2110 01:02:32,733 --> 01:02:35,366 housing trust fund into this 2111 01:02:34,700 --> 01:02:35,800 appropriation for heritage 2112 01:02:35,466 --> 01:02:37,100 park. 2113 01:02:35,900 --> 01:02:37,966 but we can bring thatiscal 2114 01:02:37,200 --> 01:02:40,400 note back up. 2115 01:02:38,500 --> 01:02:41,500 » I think that's really 2116 01:02:40,500 --> 01:02:44,533 important becau when the 2117 01:02:41,600 --> 01:02:45,383 public reads this, it says no 2118 01:02:44,633 --> 01:02:47,066 fiscal impact anticipated so 2119 01:02:45,500 --> 01:02:47,733 even if it's the same fiscal 2120 01:02:47,166 --> 01:02:49,166 note, I think it's important 2121 01:02:47,833 --> 01:02:50,966 because a lot of folks are 2122 01:02:49,266 --> 01:02:52,200 following this closely and in 2123 01:02:51,066 --> 01:02:53,866 the future we might need to 2124 01:02:52,300 --> 01:02:59,233 look back on it. 2125 01:02:53,966 --> 01:03:01,933 the other thing is, there 2126 01:02:59,333 --> 01:03:02,166 isn't a rhea attached to it 2127 01:03:02,033 --> 01:03:04,266 either. 2128 01:03:02,266 --> 01:03:05,066 and I think a race equity 2129 01:03:04,366 --> 01:03:08,433 analysis would be really 2130 01:03:05,166 --> 01:03:09,966 important for this poly. 2131 01:03:08,533 --> 01:03:11,700 rea. 2132 01:03:10,066 --> 01:03:14,766 I think as a legislati 2133 01:03:11,800 --> 01:03:15,966 follow-up, it's like once this 2134 01:03:14,866 --> 01:03:16,666 is completed whatappens to 2135 01:03:16,066 --> 01:03:18,933 this policy? 2136 01:03:16,766 --> 01:03:19,600 like what's the -- is it 2137 01:03:19,033 --> 01:03:21,533 sunsetted? 2138 01:03:19,700 --> 01:03:22,433 does the department just make 2139 01:03:21,633 --> 01:03:24,200 a call? 2140 01:03:22,533 --> 01:03:25,200 because for our perpetually 2141 01:03:24,300 --> 01:03:26,733 affordable housing program, 2142 01:03:25,300 --> 01:03:29,333 that just continues, right? 2143 01:03:27,433 --> 01:03:32,333 » Chair chowdhury, the intent 2144 01:03:29,433 --> 01:03:32,566 of this policy is to be time 2145 01:03:32,433 --> 01:03:35,566 limited. 2146 01:03:32,666 --> 01:03:37,433 you would have to move by the 2147 01:03:35,666 --> 01:03:39,300 31st of -- you'd hav to 2148 01:03:37,533 --> 01:03:40,900 tell you also by the 15th 2149 01:03:39,400 --> 01:03:43,133 of october and move by t end 2150 01:03:41,033 --> 01:03:46,566 of january of next year with a 2151 01:03:43,233 --> 01:03:47,866 six-month bfer for 2152 01:03:47,333 --> 01:03:49,700 circumstances, but then this 2153 01:03:48,300 --> 01:03:51,600 is tailored exactly to 2154 01:03:50,600 --> 01:03:52,033 heritage park relocation at 2155 01:03:51,700 --> 01:03:54,566 this moment. 2156 01:03:52,333 --> 01:03:55,666 so it would be unique to this 2157 01:03:54,666 --> 01:04:00,166 situation and it would not 2158 01:03:55,766 --> 01:04:02,166 live on after the last person 2159 01:04:00,266 --> 01:04:03,700 took advantage of the policy. 2160 01:04:02,333 --> 01:04:06,633 » Okay. 2161 01:04:03,800 --> 01:04:08,066 and are you able to attach a 2162 01:04:06,733 --> 01:04:08,600 rea to this as you have for 2163 01:04:08,166 --> 01:04:10,400 other programs? 2164 01:04:09,000 --> 01:04:11,533 » Chair chowdhury, we'll do 2165 01:04:10,500 --> 01:04:11,800 our best between now and 2166 01:04:11,633 --> 01:04:12,133 thursday. 2167 01:04:11,900 --> 01:04:13,133 » Yeah. 2168 01:04:12,233 --> 01:04:14,133 and I appreciate that you're 2169 01:04:13,233 --> 01:04:15,433 doing your best, and I think 2170 01:04:14,233 --> 01:04:18,033 we're moving this through 2171 01:04:16,266 --> 01:04:19,800 really quickly. 2172 01:04:18,133 --> 01:04:21,000 and at the same time, like, 2173 01:04:19,900 --> 01:04:25,700 director, you're providing us 2174 01:04:21,533 --> 01:04:26,166 very dense policy with very 2175 01:04:25,800 --> 01:04:28,233 significant financial 2176 01:04:26,266 --> 01:04:28,766 implications for the city and 2177 01:04:28,333 --> 01:04:30,166 implications for residents 2178 01:04:28,866 --> 01:04:33,033 here. 2179 01:04:30,266 --> 01:04:34,400 and, so, just the basics of 2180 01:04:33,133 --> 01:04:36,300 this request for committee 2181 01:04:34,766 --> 01:04:38,833 action are really important to 2182 01:04:36,400 --> 01:04:40,166 me because I think not having 2183 01:04:38,933 --> 01:04:41,166 it today is positing more 2184 01:04:40,266 --> 01:04:43,233 questions tha I anticipated. 2185 01:04:41,866 --> 01:04:43,433 so that's why I'm asking for 2186 01:04:43,316 --> 01:04:44,433 that. 2187 01:04:44,066 --> 01:04:46,100 » Yeah. 2188 01:04:44,533 --> 01:04:47,233 chair chowdhury, I would say 2189 01:04:46,200 --> 01:04:49,900 that I think it's important 2190 01:04:47,333 --> 01:04:50,566 and imperative for the city to 2191 01:04:50,000 --> 01:04:51,566 move. 2192 01:04:50,666 --> 01:04:54,000 if we're thinking about the 2193 01:04:51,666 --> 01:04:57,266 racial equity impactf not 2194 01:04:54,100 --> 01:04:59,733 acting, we're putting people 2195 01:04:57,366 --> 01:05:01,300 in, you know, communities of 2196 01:04:59,833 --> 01:05:01,966 color, black folks in north 2197 01:05:01,400 --> 01:05:02,966 minneapolis in circumstanc 2198 01:05:02,066 --> 01:05:03,400 where they cnot get out of. 2199 01:05:03,133 --> 01:05:05,700 » Yes. 2200 01:05:03,833 --> 01:05:07,566 » So we can put that into an 2201 01:05:05,800 --> 01:05:11,166 analysis, but I c tellou, 2202 01:05:07,666 --> 01:05:12,900 just off the top, this is 2203 01:05:11,266 --> 01:05:13,800 addressing community need 2204 01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:14,333 exactly where the community 2205 01:05:13,900 --> 01:05:15,966 needs us to be. 2206 01:05:15,300 --> 01:05:17,233 » Yeah. 2207 01:05:16,483 --> 01:05:19,500 I 100% hear you. 2208 01:05:17,333 --> 01:05:19,800 and I'm not debating

01:05:26,966 us to do our work, and I'm 2213 01:05:26,166 --> 01:05:27,133 genuinely just struggling with 2214 01:05:27,066 --> 01:05:29,133 it. 2215 01:05:27,233 --> 01:05:31,466 this is a dense policy load 2216 01:05:29,233 --> 01:05:32,966 that's before us, and within 2217 01:05:31,566 --> 01:05:35,433 the cped department, when you 2218 01:05:33,066 --> 01:05:37,133 bring forward program changes, 2219 01:05:35,533 --> 01:05:38,700 you have a vy thorough 2220 01:05:37,233 --> 01:05:40,333 background analysis and 2221 01:05:38,800 --> 01:05:41,966 reas, you always do, and as 2222

--> 01:05:47,700 have relied on those for 2226 01:05:46,466 --> 01:05:49,333 agenda settings and on items 2227 01:05:47,800 --> 01:05:49,766 that we have to vote on 2228 01:05:49,433 --> 01:05:50,066 because they can be 2229 01:05:49,866 --> 01:05:51,633 complicated. 2230 01:05:50,166 --> 01:05:53,516 so I do think it's a fair ask 2231 01:05:51,733 --> 01:05:55,066 to say that we need that and I 2232 01:05:53,633 --> 01:05:56,466 don't think it's in 2233 01:05:55,166 --> 01:05:57,366 competition with moving 2234 01:05:56,566 --> 01:05:58,533 urgently, but it's like, thi 2235 01:05:57,633 -->

01:09:52,000 --> 01:09:56,833 the same. 2365 01:09:53,766 --> 01:09:59,566 next thing with this, becse 2366 01:09:56,933 --> 01:10:03,966 the other component in this is 2367 01:09:59,666 --> 01:10:05,700 that they can't articulate, 2368 01:10:04,066 --> 01:10:07,266 the residents, who are having 2369 01:10:05,800 --> 01:10:09,333 issues around saying, yes, I 2370 01:10:07,366 -->

everybody keep changing the 2374 01:10:13,533 --> 01:10:15,133 story. 2375 01:10:13,833 --> 01:10:16,566 there's no consistency. 2376 01:10:15,233 --> 01:10:18,566 when I talked about this in 2377 01:10:16,666 --> 01:10:23,033 the beginning and I said, 2378 01:10:18,666 --> 01:10:24,900 housing insecurity is a real 2379 01:10:23,133 --> 01:10:26,966 thing, I don't know if you 2380 01:10:25,000 --> 01:10:29,166 don't get it or you don't 2381 01:10:27,066 --> 01:10:30,933 understand when I say it, 2382 01:10:29,266 --> 01:10:32,333 like, if you don't know what 2383 01:10:31,033 --> 01:10:33,766 housing insecurity means, that 2384 01:10:32,433 --> 01:10:38,300 means the difference between 2385 01:10:33,866 --> 01:10:39,600 being housed and unhoused, the 2386 01:10:38,400 --> 01:10:41,900 difference between m getting 2387 01:10:39,700 --> 01:10:43,633 my car towed and being able to 2388 01:10:42,000 --> 01:10:44,433 pay my rent. 2389 01:10:43,733 --> 01:10:46,866 you know, the difference 2390 01:10:44,533 --> 01:10:48,833 between one little mistake, 2391 01:10:46,966 --> 01:10:53,533 living paycheck to paycheck, 2392 01:10:48,933 --> 01:10:55,833 the difference between buying 2393 01:10:53,633 --> 01:10:57,133 diapers and eating today means 2394 01:10:56,000 --> 01:10:59,333 th I might not be able to 2395 01:10:57,366 --> 01:11:00,866 pay my rent tomorrow if I have 2396 01:10:59,866 --> 01:11:01,533 to spend too much or the price 2397 01:11:00,966 --> 01:11:03,166 goes up. 2398 01:11:01,633 --> 01:11:06,033 like that housing insecurity 2399 01:11:03,566 --> 01:11:07,433 is a real place. 2400 01:11:06,133 --> 01:11:11,600 the barriers that individuals 2401 01:11:08,866 --> 01:11:12,033 have to housing, background, 2402 01:11:11,700 --> 01:11:15,133 previous landlords, 2403 01:11:12,133 --> 01:11:17,200 individuals who are being 2404 01:11:15,233 --> 01:11:20,166 retaliated against in this 2405 01:11:17,333 --> 01:11:22,566 tuation, dealing with mpha 2406 01:11:20,266 --> 01:11:23,066 and property solutions now 2407 01:11:22,800 --> 01:11:24,466 still currently. 2408 01:11:23,166 --> 01:11:26,200 there are residents who are 2409 01:11:24,566 --> 01:11:28,533 going to court and are 2410 01:11:26,300 --> 01:11:33,533 experiencing housing barriers. 2411 01:11:29,366 --> 01:11:34,800 this $2.5 million that we 2412 01:11:33,633 --> 01:11:35,866 allocated towards heritag 2413 01:11:34,900 --> 01:11:39,166 park would essentially equate 2414 01:11:36,700 --> 01:11:41,800 to about $12,000 per household 2415 01:11:39,266 --> 01:11:43,333 for all 211 families. 2416 01:11:41,900 --> 01:11:44,866 instead, we've discounted, and 2417 01:11:43,433 --> 01:11:45,433 we're payin' all of these 2418 01:11:44,966 --> 01:11:45,733 additional administrative 2419 01:11:45,533 --> 01:11:47,600 costs. 2420 01:11:45,833 --> 01:11:50,666 there's not anythin that 2421 01:11:47,700 --> 01:11:52,433 anyone needs to do, really, 2422

--> 01:15:59,433 be $125,000, and we could pay 2569 01:15:57,766 --> 01:16:02,200 that to somebody bause all 2570 01:15:59,633 --> 01:16:05,700 they're really doing is paying 2571 01:16:02,300 --> 01:16:06,033 for accounting and 2572 01:16:05,800 --> 01:16:08,533 bookkeeping. 2573 01:16:06,133 --> 01:16:09,266 the people who need help need 2574 01:16:08,633 --> 01:16:11,033 public supportive

01:16:13,500 --> 01:16:16,333 are we managing it, how are we 2579 01:16:15,033 --> 01:16:18,100 using it, but we do have more 2580 01:16:16,400 --> 01:16:21,500 than enough, essentially. 2581 01:16:18,200 --> 01:16:22,766 that would be about $4,000 a 2582 01:16:21,600 --> 01:16:24,933 month would be enough to help 2583 01:16:22,933 --> 01:16:26,800 a family stablize itself. 2584 01:16:25,466 --> 01:16:29,866 and I don't -- I think that 2585 01:16:26,900 --> 01:16:30,900 that -- on top of whatever 2586 01:16:29,966 --> 01:16:32,400 they're already -- whatever 2587 01:16:31,000 --> 01:16:34,366 their acquired income is, I 2588 01:16:32,500 --> 01:16:35,700 think they would be okay. 2589 01:16:34,466 --> 01:16:38,033 I don't see that as an issue. 2590 01:16:35,800 --> 01:16:39,100 if I had an extra $4,000 a 2591 01:16:38,133 --> 01:16:39,666 month, I would be okay, too, 2592 01:16:39,200 --> 01:16:42,500 you know. 2593 01:16:39,766 --> 01:16:43,466 so I think thile be just fine 2594 01:16:42,700 --> 01:16:44,833 if everybody spreads the 2595 01:16:44,166 --> 01:16:46,666 wealth evenly across the board 2596 01:16:45,233 --> 01:16:48,533 and starts using yardsticks 2597 01:16:47,100 --> 01:16:51,733 and whatever else because, 2598 01:16:49,533 --> 01:16:54,100 like I said, the 128 people 2599 01:16:51,833 --> 01:16:54,633 are the people who really need 2600 01:16:54,200 --> 01:16:57,533 the suppor 2601 01:16:54,733 --> 01:16:59,133 and I know mpha has a job, but 2602 01:16:57,633 --> 01:17:01,266 at this point, I d't even 2603 01:16:59,233 --> 01:17:01,466 think those people show up for 2604 01:17:01,366 --> 01:17:04,133 work. 2605 01:17:01,566 --> 01:17:05,833 I left a message at their 2606 01:17:04,233 --> 01:17:07,900 voice answering

understand that someone 2617 01:17:20,083 --> 01:17:24,766 is there providing what they 2618 01:17:22,033 --> 01:17:27,300 call a relocation pket for 2619 01:17:24,866 --> 01:17:28,733 individuals who

they're 2639 01:18:03,966 --> 01:18:05,966 being told that they got to 2640 01:18:05,400 --> 01:18:06,833 qualify and someone needs to 2641 01:18:06,066 --> 01:18:08,266 come and look. 2642 01:18:07,000 --> 01:18:08,633 it just is not making sense to 2643 01:18:08,566 --> 01:18:11,333 me. 2644 01:18:08,733 --> 01:18:14,100 and I wish that everyone would 2645 01:18:11,433 --> 01:18:15,733 really get their act together 2646 01:18:14,200 --> 01:18:16,500 because this is -- this I 2647 01:18:15,833 --> 01:18:21,333 ridiculous. 2648 01:18:16,600 --> 01:18:26,066 but I don't agree with srf. 2649 01:18:21,433 --> 01:18:27,400 I don't agree with giving them 2650 01:18:26,166 --> 01:18:28,533 that $400,000. 2651 01:18:27,500 --> 01:18:29,833 that doesn't make any sen to 2652 01:18:28,700 --> 01:18:30,783 me because I don't know what 2653 01:18:29,933 --> 01:18:32,066 they're doin' with it. 2654 01:18:30,900 --> 01:18:36,133 they should already have 2655 01:18:32,166 --> 01:18:39,166 accountants and people who do, 2656 01:18:37,066 --> 01:18:40,333 do,you know, sales force or 2657 01:18:39,266 --> 01:18:43,633 however they're utilizing 2658 01:18:40,433 --> 01:18:45,300 their client base record, 2659 01:18:43,733 --> 01:18:46,733 datakeeping stuff, should 2660 01:18:45,400 --> 01:18:48,166 already be in place, it's not 2661 01:18:46,833 --> 01:18:49,000 like they're buying new 2662 01:18:48,266 --> 01:18:50,333 software or whatever else. 2663 01:18:49,166 --> 01:18:51,700 if we're allowing for 2664 01:18:50,433 --> 01:18:53,066 something that to be done, we 2665 01:18:51,800 --> 01:18:54,266 should invest in putting that 2666 01:18:53,300 --> 01:18:54,633 in in north minneapolis, 2667 01:18:54,450 --> 01:18:55,366 directly. 2668 01:18:54,733 --> 01:18:56,500 because that is just the tip 2669 01:18:55,466 --> 01:18:57,166 of the iceberg. 2670 01:18:56,600 --> 01:18:59,166 everything else over there is 2671 01:18:57,266 --> 01:19:00,233 going to need some examining, 2672 01:18:59,266 --> 01:19:01,333 too, right, you know? 2673 01:19:00,400 --> 01:19:01,700 so this is just the worst of 2674 01:19:01,433 --> 01:19:03,233 the worst. 2675 01:19:01,900 --> 01:19:05,433 so it be would better to have 2676 01:19:04,066 --> 01:19:07,500 it in-house and get that stuff 2677 01:19:05,533 --> 01:19:08,866 together over there. 2678 01:19:07,600 --> 01:19:12,033 but this is -- I don't agree 2679 01:19:08,966 --> 01:19:14,000 with them at all for that. 2680 01:19:12,133 --> 01:19:15,800 and the residents may not want 2681 01:19:14,633 --> 01:19:19,300 to relocate, but we really 2682 01:19:15,900 --> 01:19:20,400 need to give them stern 2683 01:19:19,433 --> 01:19:21,933 adsement about the health. 2684 01:19:20,500 --> 01:19:25,233 I'm really kind of feeling the 2685 01:19:22,033 --> 01:19:28,433 way that our public healthdepare 2686 01:19:25,533 --> 01:19:32,666 forward and talked about the 2687 01:19:28,533 --> 01:19:33,600 public health and safety 2688 01:19:32,766 --> 01:19:34,700 implementations that this 2689 01:19:33,700 --> 01:19:35,366 living condition is having on 2690 01:19:34,800 --> 01:19:37,233 people. 2691 01:19:35,466 --> 01:19:40,200 and I would expect to have 2692 01:19:37,333 --> 01:19:40,800 heard more of a statement from 2693 01:19:40,300 --> 01:19:42,033 our public health departmen 2694 01:19:40,900 --> 01:19:44,500 besides the fact that there's 2695 01:19:42,133 --> 01:19:46,500 mold in the air everywhere 2696 01:19:44,600 --> 01:19:47,133 because we know that, but this 2697 01:19:46,600 --> 01:19:49,433 is black mold. 2698 01:19:47,233 --> 01:19:52,133 and black mold has a dferent 2699 01:19:49,533 --> 01:19:56,433 impact on your lungs and on 2700 01:19:52,233 --> 01:19:58,166 your body. 2701 01:19:57,066 --> 01:19:58,433 on your entire well-being, 2702 01:19:58,266 --> 01:20:00,266 right? 2703 01:19:58,533 --> 01:20:01,933 and I'm just thinking about 2704 01:20:00,366 --> 01:20:04,800 how that needs to -- that 2705 01:20:02,033 --> 01:20:07,433 real needs to come forward. 2706 01:20:04,900 --> 01:20:08,400 but if peoe stop gaslighting 2707 01:20:07,533 --> 01:20:10,766 the residents and just tell 2708 01:20:08,500 --> 01:20:13,933 them the truth, then 2709 01:20:10,866 --> 01:20:17,766 individuals can make a 2710 01:20:14,033 --> 01:20:18,866 well-informed,

01:23:14,366 --> 01:23:15,933 and they've been showing that 2808 01:23:15,233 --> 01:23:17,666 they're coming to the table. 2809 01:23:16,033 --> 01:23:20,666 so we have to continue to work 2810 01:23:17,766 --> 01:23:22,966 with them so that those 128 2811 01:23:20,766 --> 01:23:24,433 public housing units still get 2812 01:23:23,066 --> 01:23:25,000 the transfer benefits, those 2813

01:35:07,700 --> 01:35:10,066 sewer, infrastructure, 3200 01:35:09,850 --> 01:35:12,600 division. 3201 01:35:10,266 --> 01:35:13,900 before getting into the 3202 01:35:12,700 --> 01:35:15,766 program, I just want to kind 3203 01:35:14,400 --> 01:35:18,366 of go over the basics of the 3204 01:35:15,866 --> 01:35:19,200 sewer lateral and some of the 3205 01:35:18,466 --> 01:35:21,066 common problems that occur. 3206 01:35:19,733 --> 01:35:21,833 so with the sewer lateral, 3207 01:35:21,166 --> 01:35:23,100 it's one of those things that 3208 01:35:21,933 --> 01:35:24,066 I allot of homeowners don't 3209 01:35:23,200 --> 01:35:25,933 realize that they own a that 3210 01:35:24,166 --> 01:35:27,333 they have to maintain. 3211 01:35:26,000 --> 01:35:28,200 it's the lateral that leaves 3212 01:35:27,433 --> 01:35:30,400 your house, and it takesour 3213 01:35:28,400 --> 01:35:32,266 waste, it takes your toilet 3214 01:35:30,500 --> 01:35:34,600 waste, it takes your sink, 3215 01:35:32,366 --> 01:35:35,333 your dish wash e your shower, 3216 01:35:34,700 --> 01:35:36,800 your clothes washer, it takes 3217 01:35:35,433 --> 01:35:40,533 all of that and it conveys it 3218 01:35:38,833 --> 01:35:41,300 to the main that's out in the 3219 01:35:40,633 --> 01:35:42,266 middle othe street. 3220 01:35:41,400 --> 01:35:43,733 a lot of homeowners don't 3221 01:35:42,366 --> 01:35:45,066 realize that they do own that 3222 01:35:43,833 --> 01:35:45,866 sewer lateral all the way from 3223 01:35:45,166 --> 01:35:46,866 their house all the way 3224 01:35:45,966 --> 01:35:48,266 through the yard out to the 3225 01:35:46,966 --> 01:35:51,000 street under the sidewalk, as 3226 01:35:48,366 --> 01:35:53,200 well as the connection. 3227 01:35:51,100 --> 01:35:55,533 so, that's in city ordinance, 3228 01:35:53,300 --> 01:35:57,166 been existing f a long time. 3229 01:35:55,633 --> 01:35:59,700 some of the common issues that 3230 01:35:57,266 --> 01:36:01,766 exist with these had lines is 3231 01:35:59,800 --> 01:36:03,200 root intrusion, so all those 3232 01:36:02,133 --> 01:36:04,266 nderful trees, they're great 3233 01:36:03,533 --> 01:36:05,433 at finding moisture, so they 3234 01:36:04,366 --> 01:36:06,200 will go out there and they 3235 01:36:05,533 --> 01:36:07,066 will find moisture in the 3236 01:36:06,300 --> 01:36:09,100 sewe line. 3237 01:36:07,166 --> 01:36:10,533 so they find a crack, and they 3238 01:36:09,200 --> 01:36:11,700 start to develop issues within 3239 01:36:11,366 --> 01:36:13,150 e line. 3240 01:36:11,800 --> 01:36:15,400 probably the number one thing 3241 01:36:13,266 --> 01:36:16,400 that we get calls about is 3242 01:36:15,500 --> 01:36:17,366 people having root intrusions 3243 01:36:16,500 --> 01:36:19,866 into a line. 3244 01:36:18,166 --> 01:36:22,033 so cracks exist. 3245 01:36:19,966 --> 01:36:26,366 also the gap at the connection 3246 01:36:23,000 --> 01:36:28,333 to the main can develop issues 3247 01:36:26,466 --> 01:36:29,166 where it disconnects. 3248 01:36:28,433 --> 01:36:30,433 another common one that's not 3249 01:36:29,250 --> 01:36:32,200 in the image here, there will 3250 01:36:30,600 --> 01:36:33,800 be dips in the line, so at 3251 01:36:32,300 --> 01:36:34,433 some point the erosion 3252 01:36:33,900 --> 01:36:35,733 happened below the lin it 3253 01:36:34,533 --> 01:36:38,466 dips out, and then those dips 3254 01:36:35,833 --> 01:36:42,600 start to not let the graff 3255 01:36:38,566 --> 01:36:43,466 temporary flow of the line 3256 01:36:42,700 --> 01:36:44,466 occur not anymore. 3257 01:36:43,566 --> 01:36:45,433 most of the lines in the city, 3258 01:36:44,566 --> 01:36:46,366 they're orinal, right? 3259 01:36:45,600 --> 01:36:47,466 so they're original from when 3260 01:36:46,466 --> 01:36:48,333 the home was built. 3261 01:36:47,566 --> 01:36:49,433 majority of the homes in 3262 01:36:48,433 --> 01:36:49,966 minneapolis were bui prior 3263 01:36:49,600 --> 01:36:53,433 to 1939. 3264 01:36:50,166 --> 01:36:55,466 so we're looking at 90, 100, 3265 01:36:53,533 --> 01:36:56,700 you know, we see, you know, up 3266 01:36:55,700 --> 01:36:57,833 to 150 years, right? 3267 01:36:56,933 --> 01:36:59,066 some of these lines are really 3268 01:36:57,933 --> 01:37:00,300 really old. 3269 01:36:59,166 --> 01:37:01,600 average repair costs that we 3270 01:37:00,400 --> 01:37:03,133 see for the ones that kind of 3271 01:37:01,833 --> 01:37:03,766 co through our programs is 3272 01:37:03,233 --> 01:37:04,933 $13,000. 3273 01:37:03,866 --> 01:37:05,366 there's definitely a wide 3274 01:37:05,033 --> 01:37:08,100 range. 3275 01:37:05,466 --> 01:37:09,833 I've seen up to $40,000. 3276 01:37:08,200 --> 01:37:10,666 so they can get really 3277 01:37:09,933 --> 01:37:15,833 expensive to repair the 3278 01:37:10,766 --> 01:37:16,633 things. 3279 01:37:15,933 --> 01:37:19,000 current programs that we have 3280 01:37:16,733 --> 01:37:20,433

system, I got one 3327 01:38:31,566 --> 01:38:36,433 in, the homeowner is facing 3328 01:38:35,400 --> 01:38:38,100 $25,000, and they're choosing 3329 01:38:36,666 --> 01:38:39,633 to assess that over 20 years. 3330 01:38:38,200 --> 01:38:40,833 so, they can always pay it 3331 01:38:39,733 --> 01:38:42,400 back early buts a homeowner, 3332 01:38:40,933 --> 01:38:44,500 now you're having to pay that 3333 01:38:42,500 --> 01:38:44,933 back and it's going to be on 3334 01:38:44,600 --> 01:38:45,933 your property taxes. 3335 01:38:45,033 --> 01:38:48,033 so it's great the program 3336 01:38:46,033 --> 01:38:50,400 exists, but it's not always 3337 01:38:48,133 --> 01:38:51,100 the best thing when you 3338 01:38:50,500 --> 01:38:52,700 already have property taxes 3339 01:38:51,200 --> 01:38:58,733 that are going up as well to 3340 01:38:52,800 --> 01:39:00,133 have something else on there. 3341 01:38:59,000 --> 01:39:02,300 so private sewer lateral 3342 01:39:00,233 --> 01:39:04,733 insurance, so, we issued an 3343 01:39:02,400 --> 01:39:06,333 rfp earlier in 2026. 3344 01:39:04,833 --> 01:39:07,266 with this program it's 100% 3345 01:39:06,433 --> 01:39:08,933 optional, it's not being 3346 01:39:07,366 --> 01:39:11,100 forced object any homeowner, 3347 01:39:09,100 --> 01:39:11,633 no one needs to sign up for 3348 01:39:11,200 --> 01:39:13,133 it. 3349 01:39:11,733 --> 01:39:14,233 the city endorsing a company 3350 01:39:13,233 --> 01:39:15,200 allows homeowners to get a 3351 01:39:14,333 --> 01:39:17,500 better rate in coverage limit 3352 01:39:15,533 --> 01:39:18,700 than what it available on the 3353 01:39:17,600 --> 01:39:19,433 open market, for the most 3354 01:39:18,800 --> 01:39:20,233 part. 3355 01:39:19,600 --> 01:39:20,866 no city funds will be used 3356 01:39:20,333 --> 01:39:22,300 for this. 3357 01:39:21,033 --> 01:39:23,333 so it's not costing the city 3358 01:39:22,400 --> 01:39:25,600 any money. 3359 01:39:23,433 --> 01:39:26,266 the city will provide branding 3360 01:39:25,700 --> 01:39:27,166 and customer contact 3361 01:39:26,366 --> 01:39:28,566 information. 3362 01:39:27,266 --> 01:39:29,666 so, that is really kind of the 3363 01:39:28,666 --> 01:39:31,800 part on the city side. 3364 01:39:29,766 --> 01:39:33,400 you know, you put yr logo on 3365 01:39:31,900 --> 01:39:34,466 there, you know, we want to 3366 01:39:33,500 --> 01:39:35,166 stand behind a company to 3367 01:39:34,566 --> 01:39:37,133 provide a good service. 3368 01:39:35,266 --> 01:39:38,800 and many cities in minnesota, 3369 01:39:37,433 --> 01:39:39,800 in and around the country have 3370 01:39:38,900 --> 01:39:42,100 similar partnerships. 3371 01:39:41,083 --> 01:39:43,733 so this is nothing new. 3372 01:39:42,200 --> 01:39:44,700 we're not coming up with a new 3373 01:39:43,833 --> 01:39:48,466 idea, it very very common 3374 01:39:44,800 --> 01:39:51,733 around the country. 3375 01:39:48,566 --> 01:39:53,033 from the rfp, we've decided to 3376 01:39:52,033 --> 01:39:53,733 go with oncourse home 3377 01:39:53,566 --> 01:39:56,366 solutions. 3378 01:39:53,833 --> 01:39:56,900 they are endorsed by the 3379 01:39:56,466 --> 01:39:58,800 national league ofities. 3380 01:39:57,000 --> 01:40:00,100 the rate that they're offering 3381 01:39:58,900 --> 01:40:02,566 for the first three years of 3382 01:40:00,200 --> 01:40:05,033 this program is, for the first 3383 01:40:02,666 --> 01:40:06,866 year it would be $5.49 per 3384 01:40:05,133 --> 01:40:07,966 month for a homeowner. 3385 01:40:06,966 --> 01:40:10,233 and then after that first year 3386 01:40:08,100 --> 01:40:11,600 it would go up to $9.99 per 3387 01:40:10,333 --> 01:40:14,500 month after that, you know, 3388 01:40:11,800 --> 01:40:15,700 first 12 months. 3389 01:40:14,600 --> 01:40:17,550 the coverage limit, number 3 3390 01:40:15,800 --> 01:40:19,366 there, is an unlimited dollar 3391 01:40:17,666 --> 01:40:20,433 coverage limit for repair or 3392 01:40:19,466 --> 01:40:22,000 replacement of residential 3393 01:40:20,533 --> 01:40:22,966 sewer service lines. 3394 01:40:22,100 --> 01:40:25,066 that's why I w mentioning 3395 01:40:23,066 --> 01:40:26,666 those costs earlier, that you 3396 01:40:25,166 --> 01:40:27,866 get really expensive, if you 3397 01:40:26,766 --> 01:40:29,383 can have insurance, it's going 3398 01:40:27,966 --> 01:40:30,366 to cover that, versus only 3399 01:40:29,500 --> 01:40:30,900 covering part of it, it's a 3400 01:40:30,466 --> 01:40:32,600 great deal. 3401 01:40:31,000 --> 01:40:34,033 this insurance also has 3402 01:40:32,700 --> 01:40:36,133 additional benefits. 3403 01:40:34,133 --> 01:40:37,433 $1,000 per ourrence, 3404 01:40:36,233 --> 01:40:38,866 out-of-pocket restoration 3405 01:40:37,533 --> 01:40:40,766 costs, $1500 for hotel 3406 01:40:39,666 --> 01:40:42,633 accommodations or $500 bet 3407 01:40:40,866 --> 01:40:43,866 boarding. 3408 01:40:42,733 --> 01:40:45,166 pet boarding. 3409 01:40:43,966 --> 01:40:46,166 really that number 3 is one 3410 01:40:45,266 --> 01:40:47,233 of the big reasons why we 3411 01:40:46,266 --> 01:40:49,833 wanted to go with oncourse, 3412 01:40:47,333 --> 01:40:50,233 along withhe rate that 3413 01:40:49,933 --> 01:40:51,966 they're offering. 3414 01:40:50,333 --> 01:40:53,500 in addition to that they're 3415 01:40:52,066 --> 01:40:54,600 offering a $100,000 community 3416 01:40:53,600 --> 01:40:55,700 partnership fund, one-time 3417 01:40:54,700 --> 01:40:56,233 amount of money to come to the 3418 01:40:55,800 --> 01:40:58,800 city. 3419 01:40:56,333 --> 01:40:59,566 number 5 there would be an 3420 01:40:58,900 --> 01:41:00,366 annual $50,000 customer 3421 01:40:59,666 --> 01:41:02,633 hardship fund. 3422 01:41:00,466 --> 01:41:04,500 that fund would be something 3423 01:41:02,733 --> 01:41:06,866 where we would refer a 3424 01:41:04,600 --> 01:41:07,733 homeowner to them and, you 3425 01:41:06,966 --> 01:41:09,066 know, cover -- it could be 3426 01:41:07,833 --> 01:41:10,366 someone who doesn't have the 3427 01:41:09,166 --> 01:41:11,466 insuranc 3428 01:41:10,566 --> 01:41:12,400 the way these programs work, 3429 01:41:11,566 --> 01:41:13,400 not everyone's going to hear 3430 01:41:12,500 --> 01:41:14,566 approximate it, right you? 3431 01:41:13,500 --> 01:41:16,566 knowhere's

sign up for 3435 01:41:20,800 --> 01:41:23,966 it, didn't think they uld 3436 01:41:22,433 --> 01:41:25,000 afford the extra amount of 3437 01:41:24,066 --> 01:41:28,066 money per month but they're in 3438 01:41:25,733 --> 01:41:29,500 a hardship situation. 3439 01:41:28,166 --> 01:41:33,000 last year we got a call from a 3440 01:41:29,600 --> 01:41:34,100 case worker, a woman eye line 3441
