[0:16] Heat.

[0:27] Heat.

[0:43] Okay, I guess we'll start. I'd like to call the meeting to order.

[0:53] » We'll start with the council. So, Calbert

[0:56] » here. >> Kley is absent. Foster Bolton

[1:00] » here. Rome is absent, Wilburn is absent, and

[1:06] Maxwell >> here.

[1:08] » Mayor Shack >> here.

[1:10] » And then for the park board, we have Hanley

[1:14] » here. >> Schultz

[1:16] » here. >> Christy is absent. Samki

[1:19] » here. >> And Sher Ingram

[1:21] » here. >> All right. We have uh two business items

[1:25] today. You want to tee up the first one? >> I will.

[1:30] I'm operating two computers here so I have to

[1:35] do both. So our first item is uh regarding a youth action climate action

[1:41] grant which the city has received which is an exciting opportunity for the youth

[1:45] of Minnetonka. So we have Ally Sutherland. She is the city's uh

[1:49] sustainability coordinator and she coordinator and she is going to provide

[1:52] you with some information. >> Hi everyone. You can hear me? Okay.

[1:58] Okay. Awesome. Thank you, Leslie. Uh, thank you all for having me here

[2:01] tonight. Ally Sutherland, sustainability coordinator. As Leslie mentioned, um, I

[2:06] am in the community development department. I think I've spoken to the

[2:10] park board maybe one time. So, thanks again for having me. This is a really

[2:15] exciting time for this program. So, this is a brand new program that we're just

[2:18] launching actually officially as of yesterday.

[2:22] So that's why I was excited to get in front of you as the park board and it's

[2:25] great to have the city council here as well so everyone can get an update. I'll

[2:29] be taking the same presentation to other commission meetings and board meetings

[2:33] so everyone can kind of be informed and uh get the latest status update of this

[2:38] program. Um so even though it technically went live

[2:43] yesterday, we've been working on this program since January. So I learned of

[2:47] this program through another city who informed me of it. Um it's through

[2:52] Bloomberg Philanthropies which is a nonprofit and uh they support this

[2:58] program. It's called the youth climate action fund and uh they support it to

[3:02] support youth in creating climate action projects and getting them involved. So

[3:07] when I learned about it, it seemed like something that really uh resonated with

[3:11] our climate action and adaptation plan goals, which my main role here is to

[3:15] implement that plan. And then also with uh the city council's goals of engaging

[3:21] youth, it just seemed like a perfect fit. So we went ahead and applied. Um

[3:26] we're very excited to announce that we were selected. Um and we're extremely

[3:31] honored to have been selected. We were one of 300 cities to be participating in

[3:36] this cohort and we were selected what the program told me from among hundreds

[3:42] and hundreds of applicants which is pretty phenomenal. Um when I look at the

[3:46] list of past cities that have participated and even current cities in

[3:50] this cohort um typically at least within North America they're very large cities

[3:55] like uh New York City, Chicago, Miami, Madison is on there. So, there's some

[4:00] more modest cities, but for um a city, a suburban community the size of

[4:05] Minnetonka, about 55,000 residents to have been selected, I think is pretty

[4:08] incredible. And um we're frankly we're shocked to have been selected, but we're

[4:13] very excited. Um and I think it goes to show that um you know, even if you're

[4:19] suburban community, you can be leading in this climate space and it's really

[4:22] exciting to have been recognized for that. Um, so thank you for all the

[4:27] support uh that the the council has and park board and others um for getting us

[4:31] to this point because having that climate action and adaptation plan um

[4:36] there and ready to go when we went to apply I mean is the reason why we were

[4:40] selected. So thanks for that. Um so through the program Bloomberg

[4:45] Philanthropies provides cities $50,000 to redistribute as youth climate action

[4:50] grant so or micro grant. So, we'll be taking this money and then

[4:54] redistributing it to youth projects. And they're meant to be selected based on

[4:59] how they can um help um move our climate action and adaptation plan forward. And

[5:04] these are some real examples of youth um that have participated in this program

[5:09] throughout the last three years. So, this program is actually fairly new.

[5:12] It's only about three years old. Um over the last three years, Bloomberg

[5:17] has engaged around 300,000 young people in their climate action um planning and

[5:24] implementation. And I included the the latest map. So they have 300 cities

[5:28] participating in this cohort. The last two cohorts had 90 cities. So they've

[5:33] added um you know almost doubled it. and uh all of these cities. So this whole

[5:39] global network of cities is now at the point where we've all received the funds

[5:43] from Bloomberg and we are accepting applications as we speak. So we're all

[5:48] kind of at that same um stage. And in terms of the background, so uh we

[5:54] have received this $50,000. We'll redistribute these as micro or

[5:59] this money as micro grants which it can be um requested in lumps of $1,000 up to

[6:05] $5,000 per project. We can keep about 10% of that for administrative fees for

[6:10] program development, which is helpful um because we obviously didn't have

[6:15] anything uh created already for this project. Uh projects that are awarded

[6:20] must benefit the Minnotonka community. So whether that means um the social

[6:24] aspect of our community or the environment, they have to benefit one.

[6:28] These have to be youthled projects which is actually pretty unique for this

[6:32] program. So youth are the ones that must lead and design it and really just

[6:36] generally created. So um they do need to be supported by an eligible

[6:41] organization. Um but it has to be created and developed by the youth. And

[6:45] when we use youth in this case, it's 15 uh students or uh young people 18 to 24

[6:52] years old. Uh the youth must live in Minnetonka or go to a school in

[6:58] Minnitankka if they're participating. So what's really interesting about

[7:02] Minnotonka is that not only does that include the Minnitonka school district,

[7:05] but that also means that Hopkin High School students can apply. We also have

[7:09] at least one charter school high school in Minnetonka and then at least one

[7:13] specialty high school. So I think that's also what made our application stand out

[7:17] is I think there was over, you know, 4,000 high school students in

[7:21] that could potentially be eligible to participate.

[7:25] U and then in terms of the eligible organizations, they have to be a

[7:30] nonprofit or a public entity such as like a watershed district for example.

[7:35] Um and what's also really cool is that they can be in uh located inside

[7:39] Minnetonka or outside Minnetonka. So we have the opportunity to connect with

[7:43] organizations throughout the Twin Cities or Minnesota in general. In terms of our

[7:48] timeline, we were informed about the program April. In May, city council

[7:52] approved our program acceptance. So, we moved forward after that. So, thank you

[7:56] again for your support. Uh, in June through last month, we've been spending

[8:02] a lot of time with program planning. Um, so that means just generally creating

[8:06] the program. I worked with our amazing communications staff. We created a new

[8:11] Minnotonka Matters page. So that's our program page which uh there's a link

[8:15] there minnotonkamatters.com youth-climate-fund

[8:19] that you can go to to learn um all about the program but we've created flyers,

[8:24] brochures, the email list serve blast, social media content. We have the

[8:29] application already developed the application scoring process and then we

[8:33] also have developed um an application selection committee internally uh who

[8:39] will help review the applications for eligibility. They'll do a scoring

[8:43] process and then their recommendations will go to the sustainability commission

[8:47] who ultimately will select the awarded projects. But there's been a lot of

[8:52] planning up until this point. Uh but yesterday was an exciting day because

[8:56] that was the day that we officially opened the application. So if you go to

[9:00] the website, you can apply now. Um and those applications are accepted through

[9:06] October 19th. And another pretty exciting part about this is that we're

[9:11] going to hosting application support events which is pretty fun. Normally

[9:15] grant applicants don't get a lot of handholding but Bloomberg uh highly

[9:21] recommends and I believe even even requires us to at least hold a couple of

[9:25] these support meetings to teach the youth how to apply for a grant. Like

[9:30] what is a grant? How do you write a budget? How do you think of a project

[9:32] timeline? And helping them scale down maybe a very, you know, broad idea into

[9:37] something that's truly implementable um and achievable with the time frame. So,

[9:42] we're excited about that. We just started connecting with the high schools

[9:45] to be on site. So, um looking forward to that, but a few of those are already

[9:50] scheduled. Um and then in October as well, that's when the the sustainability

[9:56] commission will review applications. That'll be a special meeting that we're

[9:59] hosting. And then in November, that's when the projects will receive funding

[10:04] and they can start with implementation. And they have to be completed um by

[10:08] April of 2027. So, it's a pretty short implementation time frame, but um long

[10:14] enough that it gives them, you know, enough time to actually get something

[10:17] off the ground, too. Um and then in terms of eligible projects, their

[10:22] projects must support sustainable transportation, energy efficiency and

[10:26] renewable energy, waste reduction and recycling, or climate resiliency. And

[10:31] that um list is limited based on our climate action plan so that we know that

[10:36] the the projects are aligning with our our goals that have been set. And um

[10:41] lastly, I'll just end on how you can help. So the reason I'm here is just to

[10:45] get everyone kind of on the same page of uh knowing about this program, what it

[10:49] is, and asking you for your help in promoting the program. If you have the

[10:54] capacity and interest or if you think your uh network would be interested in

[10:58] something like this, you know, you're welcome to share word of mouth. You can

[11:01] share our digital uh communications content. You're welcome to share our uh

[11:06] website, the program website. If you go on to our homepage, actually, I believe

[11:10] as of yesterday, there's a big banner on there that talks about this grant

[11:14] program, too. So, even if you just share our website, uh they'll get the

[11:18] information. Another option is if you have a youth

[11:23] group in in mind, for example, like a a student activity club at the high

[11:29] school, could potentially be an applicant or if you know of another

[11:32] group uh organization that might be interested. You're welcome to let them

[11:37] know directly about the program or send their contact information to us and we

[11:41] can get in contact with them. Honestly, just however you can share this program

[11:46] out would be amazing. We just want to get as many informed about this as we

[11:50] can. And I think lastly, I'll just mention that if you um have questions

[11:56] about, you know, if a particular organization would be eligible or um if

[12:01] a project could maybe be a possibility, you're welcome to reach out to me

[12:05] directly and we can talk offline about those specifics. happy to talk to you in

[12:09] any capacity or you know to present for example to an organization if you think

[12:14] that they could benefit from a kind of a one-on-one conversation. So with that um

[12:20] I'll end my quick update but I will open it up for questions too if anyone has

[12:25] any like general project questions. >> Thanks. Any questions from the council

[12:30] board?

[12:37] City of Mitanka got $50,000. So you have five

[12:44] 10 $5,000 grants potentially. >> Yeah, thanks for asking. So um chair,

[12:50] board members, council, um we yes, we received $50,000. We can keep 10% of

[12:57] that for administrative cost. So, we're keeping 10% uh $10,000 for um we

[13:02] actually worked with a digital content specialist that helped create videos

[13:06] that you might see on uh Facebook. >> 5,000.

[13:10] » Um Oh, sorry. Of 50,000. >> Yeah.

[13:15] » Yeah. Would be 5,000. >> Yeah.

[13:18] » Yeah. I heard sorry. >> Okay. Yeah. So, we're keeping that money

[13:22] and we're using that for our communications purposes. So, then I

[13:27] think we can up to like eight projects in total. So,

[13:32] » thank you.

[13:36] » I guess I'll take that. >> How have you um what kind of outreach

[13:40] have you done to uh school administration, teachers? This seem to

[13:45] be a classic win-win. >> Yes. Yeah. Great question. Um, so we're

[13:50] still in the midst of that and it's been kind of tricky with um, you know,

[13:53] reaching out over the summer is when they're typically depending on their

[13:57] their role um, if they're you know looking at their emails or not. But

[14:02] starting at the end of July, we started sending outformational

[14:07] emails and we actually created an interest survey on the website to say

[14:11] this isn't you applying, but if you're interested in learning more or

[14:15] interested in being a sponsor, you can submit that here. So, we sent that out

[14:19] to all organizations, which included uh school activity clubs and teachers. Some

[14:25] were interested, but I will say over the last couple weeks, we've gotten more

[14:29] traction. Um, and I have at least one contact at the Minnetonka school that's

[14:34] connecting me with teachers and I'm hoping to get into their classrooms uh

[14:38] for just like a quick little blurb about it. We heard from our interns here at

[14:43] Minnetonka, which we interviewed while some of them were still here over the

[14:47] summer, that getting in front of their classroom would be most impactful. So,

[14:51] we'll see. It's unfortunately it's really up to the teacher and if they

[14:54] they want to have us there or not, but yeah, we're attending lunch periods,

[14:59] too, so we'll see. It'll be a little bit of a experiment, if you will, to see

[15:04] what's most effective and possible.

[15:10] » So, I have a I have a couple questions. So, it sounds like the the projects

[15:16] would be group projects and so you're going to have, you know, you'll get in

[15:20] from So, it's up to the kids to get together and try to figure it out

[15:28] before they apply. And the

[15:33] So the so the application phase ends mid midmon next month.

[15:41] » So they have that much time to kind of get themselves together and and do the

[15:46] thing. Okay. >> And that's the tough part. And so the

[15:48] the application phase um actually is created by Bloomberg. So they usually

[15:54] recommend at least six weeks, not much more than that, which is a really tough

[15:58] time frame. Um So what we heard from interns actually here was that linking

[16:04] not only sharing example projects but linking to past ones that other uh you

[16:10] know groups in Bloomberg have done would be helpful. I wish there was a better

[16:14] database of that but after scouring some local sites I found at least one page

[16:20] that had really really good examples. So we're hoping that between sharing those

[16:25] links on Minnotonka Matters and then hosting these um the events that were

[16:31] we're able to help give ideas without doing too much handholding.

[16:34] » And I if I if I remember correctly, we have a sliver of Weisetta school

[16:39] district and we have a lot of kids in Minnotonka that do go to Weisetta

[16:44] schools. So there's that. >> Um and then I was just curious in terms

[16:50] of the our application because it is kind of amazing, you know. Um and so you

[16:56] think that you It sounds like you submitted the the cap um with the

[17:04] application. Do you get feedback about what

[17:08] you know what it was that uh put us over the top or and and what besides the cap,

[17:15] » what else was in there that you think >> did the trick?

[17:20] » Um I I can't remember if I received distinct feedback or not, but I do have

[17:25] some suspicions. So, first off, asked Leslie if she would be a supportive

[17:30] applicant with me because you needed at least two um internal staff to support

[17:34] the program. So having more than just one sustainability person for sure

[17:38] allowed us to even apply. Um I think because we had so many high schools

[17:42] within Minnetonka that that was compelling. I also think of course the

[17:47] climate action and adaptation plan I I mentioned that our goals are the most

[17:51] ambitious within the state of Minnesota or one of which also stands out. Um I

[17:56] think piece that stood out is that we have so many commissions. So, I noted

[18:01] that we have a DEI commission, a park board commission, and they all have

[18:04] youth representation on them, too. Um, as well as the youth advisory board that

[18:09] we have. So, even though the application was very short, it uh included a lot of

[18:15] these kind of like unique aspects of Metanka that must have stood out.

[18:22] So, we have some engaged um young people that we've given the

[18:27] sustainability awards to and >> we had some young women who received

[18:34] writing awards. To me, those seem like engaged and um motivated students. I

[18:41] mean, are we pushing it out to other to these types of people that we've had

[18:45] communication with in the past directly? >> Yeah, I mean, that's my intention. I

[18:51] think um it's it's tricky because they have to be within that 15 through 24 age

[18:57] range and I believe that some of them that at least participated with this

[19:01] within the sustainability um or sustainable matonic awards program might

[19:05] be younger like the most recent ones >> but I actually was thinking even like

[19:09] our youth volunteers might be a good uh group to at least just inform. So we're

[19:15] creating this giant spread list of emails. So you have any to add to that?

[19:20] um I would welcome them. But yeah, >> and then one other suggestion and I can

[19:26] follow up with you on this, but I think um groups like the optimists and the

[19:31] Rotary >> and actually League of Women Voters had

[19:34] um >> a group that I think also spoke to us to

[19:38] the council that was doing research on water quality.

[19:44] Um, they were really League of Women Voters might have some suggestions. And

[19:49] then there there used to be an AP bio class or AP environmental

[19:56] science at Hopkins. I don't know if they have it anymore, but they did. So, I

[20:01] think that these clubs, right, with adults who are motivated to be mentors

[20:07] and can because this is kids are great and they'll be able to do it, but it

[20:12] would be also probably have some mentors that are helping guide it.

[20:17] » So I think that might be an opportunity. >> Great.

[20:22] I know the groups, the Rotary group, but Optimus and other groups are always

[20:27] welcome to come

[20:32] » and Leslie's probably put you on already, but the wershed districts

[20:36] » that would probably be possibly a good >> source, too.

[20:42] We'll all be ambassadors if we >> Yeah. Yeah.

[20:46] » This is great. >> Wonderful. Well, thank you all.

[20:48] » Just one curiosity on I hate to think downside. So, what happens if we only do

[20:54] three grants >> and we spent $5,000 on?

[20:58] » That's not an option. >> Okay.

[21:00] » Um >> I like that attitude.

[21:02] » Yeah. I don't know. Some days I'm concerned we're going to get none and

[21:06] then some days I'm concerned we're going to get 50 applications. So, I don't know

[21:10] what will happen, but I have faith um that we'll get a lot because we have so

[21:15] many high school students and they seem engaged. So, I'm just hopeful at this

[21:20] point that that won't happen. >> Great.

[21:23] » Any other questions or comments? >> Um just one more thing. I think about,

[21:27] you know, the you know, it's been several years, so

[21:31] they they're probably off at college, but the young people that kind of got

[21:35] the ball rolling on the mountain bike I mean they go out there and I know that

[21:42] they were volunteering um to do all kinds of trail work. So I

[21:47] just feel like there are, you know, people that are out there in our young

[21:52] people that are out there in our hearts doing work. And um so I just think about

[21:57] that as well and even church and you know places of

[22:04] worship, their youth groups.

[22:10] » Well, thank you Ally. That was very helpful.

[22:13] Our next item is 3B, the Opus Station Park Vision. Is this

[22:18] » Matt first or Leslie first? >> Matt. Okay.

[22:26] » Thank you, Chair Ingraham, Mayor Shack, Council Park Board, everybody in

[22:30] attendance. Um, tonight we're going to go over our um first few months in the

[22:36] Opus Station Park Vision Plan, as we've renamed it recently. I have our

[22:40] consultants with us tonight, Sandy and Olivia from Mend Collaborative. Um,

[22:45] we've had a wonderful process so far to get to this point. We're really excited

[22:48] about how it's going. So, tonight's um presentation is going to be sort of a an

[22:53] introduction into the process thus far, an update on the the openhouse and

[22:58] outreach and engagement that we've been doing so far and our conversations with

[23:02] the developer that have been really exciting in this area and sort of the

[23:05] timeline um as we proceed into the future. So, I'll kick us off with a

[23:09] little bit of a background. Um, so Opus, this is an important area of the city as

[23:14] I'm all as you're all aware. Um, and we do have thankfully some precedent

[23:18] documents that we've been leaning into during this master planning effort,

[23:22] specifically the Opus Opus area placemaking and urban design

[23:26] implementation manual, which is a really wonderful guide um that some folks at

[23:30] Men Collaborative actually helped when we were putting that document together.

[23:34] So there's some legacy institutional knowledge there. And then our parks open

[23:38] space and trails system plan references opus quite a bit. Um specifically how

[23:43] that area of the city um is is lacking in some park space down there and how

[23:49] Opus is really a wonderful example of um multimmodal transportation network and

[23:54] specifically the trails through Opus area. So there's a lot of sort of leadin

[23:58] to the effort that we're undertaking these days.

[24:02] Um so Opus as you know is fairly innovative um in terms of its design way

[24:07] back in the 60s at this point. Um but really the focus was the natural

[24:11] environment blending with a mix of residential and commercial through that

[24:15] area. They really leaned into this idea of being able to bike to work and you

[24:19] can really um see that um in terms of multimodal transportation in that area.

[24:24] We do have the light rail coming in. So that's a that's a big deal. So the idea

[24:28] here is that um we are looking to develop a public space and redevelopment

[24:33] adjacent to the light rail station in Opus which we know is going to be a very

[24:38] vibrant node in our community and we want to make sure we put the right foot

[24:42] out in terms of what folks see when they come into the city of Minnotonka or are

[24:46] they getting on the train and and able to live in the Opus area and easily

[24:50] commute downtown if their work if their work is down there. So really we

[24:54] understand that this this park and and the visioning that goes in behind it

[24:58] needs to, you know, sort of um check a lot of boxes.

[25:04] Um I'm going to turn it over to Sandy um from men to walk us through

[25:10] the the process thus far. >> Great chair, board, and council. Thank

[25:14] you so much for having us here. My name is Sandy. I'm a landscape architect and

[25:17] I'm a founding partner of Mend Collaborative. I'm the project manager

[25:21] on the consultant side for this project. And Olivia, I'll let you introduce

[25:24] yourself. >> Hi, I'm Olivia Haldney. I'm a landscape

[25:27] architect as well and serving as the assistant project manager on this

[25:31] project. >> All right. So, zooming into the site a

[25:34] little bit. Um, currently there's a large building, the Minneapolis Mart.

[25:41] Minneapolis Mart. Yep. >> Um, quite quite a large building,

[25:45] singlestory building kind of tucked into the landscape there. um and a lot of

[25:49] impervious surface. Majority of the site is covered by building and by parking

[25:53] lot. Um so excitingly doing a park here is going to be a great improvement to

[25:59] this site with helping with um increasing permeable surfaces. Um

[26:03] speaking to you know sustainability and and all of that stuff that Minnotonka is

[26:07] really um you know prides itself on. So what we're looking at here the dashed

[26:12] orange line is the um outline of the parcel. Um, we are hopeful that the um,

[26:20] uh, developer that's working with this parcel owner will also be acquiring the

[26:25] parcel adjacent to it, so we can kind of even this out as a nice square. Um,

[26:29] we'll see where that goes, but we're hopeful that that will be a successful

[26:32] conversation. Um, the site is bound by Bren Road, um, west and east. Uh and

[26:40] then we also have Green Oak Drive which is actually going to be reversing

[26:44] direction here shortly um in an upcoming project that the city's doing. And it's

[26:50] very well bounded as well by in the existing trail system through um the

[26:54] Opus area. And we have a diagram to kind of show the greater trail network for

[26:58] that area as well. The trail currently doesn't cut through the site though, so

[27:02] it's really just a big impervious space that was um you know used for the

[27:06] Minneapolis Mart. And then you can see that big green line on the side there is

[27:10] um the light rail that'll be going through and the opus light rail stop is

[27:14] the one stop for the the uh green line extension in in um Minnotonka here. And

[27:20] I did also, you know, want to speak to this slide a little bit and how unique

[27:24] this station is going to be for the green uh for the the green line. Um, as

[27:29] you can see, the Shady Oak station to the north and then to the south, the

[27:33] city west station, Golden Triangle, Town Center Southwest, down Eden Prairie and

[27:38] beyond, they're really park and ride focused, surface lot, um, big um,

[27:44] parking structure focused. Whereas what we're looking at for um this site here

[27:49] is more of a welcoming open green space, a public space, which is going to be a

[27:53] really unique typology for our public transit in the entire state, upper

[27:59] Midwest. Um there's not a lot of examples like this in Minnesota or the

[28:03] upper Midwest. So this is a very exciting project that Minnotonka um is

[28:07] undergoing. We have an existing um storm water it functions as a storm water

[28:13] pond. Um uh it it is a designated wetland with that pond. It's it's quite

[28:18] large. There's a couple islands in there. Um and then there's some newer

[28:22] developments um uh for multifamily housing and then some of the legacy

[28:27] businesses that have been in the opus area. So a lot of a lot of change in

[28:30] this area currently. Did you want to speak to the priorities?

[28:33] » Sure. So um as we take on these efforts, we certainly want to look to coordinate

[28:37] with the city's strategic priorities. So we're hitting on a number of those with

[28:41] this planning effort. um specifically the finan financial strength of this

[28:45] area. We know we're going to get residents. We know we want to attract

[28:48] long-term residents and and this open space can certainly help do that. Um

[28:52] safe and healthy community. We know that there's going to be a lot of traffic

[28:55] coming in and out of the light rail. So, we want to be very thoughtful about

[28:58] that. We have an opportunity to plan park space that addresses those um some

[29:02] of those concerns and make sure our public safety's folks can keep, you

[29:06] know, a general eye on the light rail station as traffic really picks up and

[29:09] people um become used to that space. Um there's a lot of opportunity in terms of

[29:13] sustainability, resilience in the natural environment. These were former

[29:16] wetland sites. We had an opportunity to remove a lot of impervious surface. So

[29:20] we're going to check a lot of those boxes. And then certainly uh well

[29:24] planned and livable development. That's really the goal of Opus. It's quite

[29:27] unique in that way. So through the looking at the strate strategic

[29:32] priorities, we identified some vision plan goals overall. So we want to center

[29:36] a nature-based urban park experience. Obviously in Minnotonka, we're really

[29:40] attached to the natural environment. This is a bit more urban for us. There's

[29:45] certainly a lot more gray down there now, but we have an opportunity to

[29:48] retrofit this space, add more pollinator habitat, add storm water management, add

[29:53] canopy trees. So, there's some really exciting opportunities there. We want to

[29:58] create a regional destination for family play and recreation. We understand that

[30:03] with all this traffic and the destination that is the light rail

[30:06] station, we're going to have a lot of folks coming through. Maybe they'll

[30:09] they'll choose to live near here so they can commute or or or travel through this

[30:14] area to get downtown and stop off at our park space um to enjoy something um in

[30:19] the city of Minnotonka. We want to address the environmental and

[30:23] site constraints. As Sandy mentioned, there there are some storm water issues

[30:26] on site. We're learning more about the soils down there, challenges in terms of

[30:30] of redevelopment overall. So, we have to work within that sandbox. And we want to

[30:36] enhance connectivity, access, and wayfinding. As I mentioned, Opus is

[30:39] really robust in terms of its multimodal trail network. So, we need this space to

[30:43] function, be a hub, sort of a spoke to to send people out into the trail

[30:48] system. We have the nine mile regional trail just to the east of here through

[30:51] Edina. You can easily cross into Edina. So, we're really at sort of a a key

[30:56] connectivity hub easily um getting to downtown Hopkins and west into Lone Lake

[31:01] Park. So, we're really at this amazing intersection. So, we got to make sure

[31:04] that that space coming on and off the station and then living in that area

[31:08] really functions in terms of connectivity, access, and wayfinding

[31:11] through that area. And then finally, we certainly want to

[31:15] support the inclusive, connective, and culturally vibrant community place. We

[31:19] really have an opportunity to do more of an urban style like Ridgedale Commons um

[31:24] park space down here with a lot of vibrancy, a lot of local residents, a

[31:28] lot of opportunity to do community style events. um possibly um opportunity for

[31:36] integrating public art. Um a lot of eyeballs coming through that area.

[31:40] Public art has been something we've been talking about for a while, but it really

[31:43] represents an opportunity quite the canvas down here at this open space to

[31:47] integrate some of that public art and storytelling, history of Minnotonka,

[31:51] etc. Um so really focusing on quite a few strategic priorities that we'll be

[31:56] able to uh to um tackle with this effort.

[32:03] All right. So, the general approach that the project team has really been

[32:07] embracing here is, you know, using this opportunity to really tell a story

[32:12] about, you know, what what people who are visiting or riding on the light rail

[32:19] for the first time, what is their first introduction to Minnotonka? But we also

[32:24] have people that are living in this area, this is their home. So there's

[32:27] kind of these these two perspectives that you know we really want to

[32:30] reinforce that we really want to support through this process. So the project

[32:34] team has kind of been operating under this model of you know this this future

[32:38] public space really needs to operate as the front porch to Minnotonka. You know

[32:42] what is that welcoming these are our values as a city. You know this is what

[32:46] we want you to understand uh about Minnotonka as you're going by on the

[32:50] light rail as you're visiting someone who lives there as you're going through

[32:53] on the trail system. But this also really needs to function as a backyard

[32:57] for the folks that live in this area. There's an a growing and increasing

[33:01] number of of folks living in this area. Um there's also people that work in this

[33:06] area every day at at the various, you know, businesses and corporations. Um so

[33:11] there there's really this opportunity to embrace a story through the landscape

[33:15] here. And speaking of the community, um just a

[33:19] quick snapshot of the understanding of the community in the Opus area. Um

[33:23] there's a lot of folks that work here. There's over 15,000 employees. There's

[33:27] 140 businesses. And um by 2040, there's estimated to add over 4,000 more jobs to

[33:34] the area. And then living here, there's um about over 7,000 residents in the

[33:40] Opus area. There's approximately 2.2 people per household. And 30 36% of

[33:46] those newest 2,00 units are designated as affordable. um in the demographic

[33:52] profile of the Opus area, we're seeing uh more diversity in the Opus area as

[33:57] compared to Minnotonka as a whole. Um and we're seeing uh a lot of languages

[34:01] spoken at home other than English in this area as well.

[34:06] And zooming out a bit, you'll see the the sort of entirety of the site is

[34:11] again outlined in that red outline there. Um we've zoomed out to kind of

[34:16] the opus area in general. We're looking at about, you know, a mile wide by a

[34:19] mile tall um of the Opus area here. And, you know, as Matt mentioned, we have the

[34:24] Nine Mal Creek Regional Trail. We also have the Minnesota River Bluffs Regional

[34:28] Trail just off the map to the northwest up there. And then we have a very robust

[34:32] trail network throughout um the Opus area that the city's also been doing a

[34:36] lot of reinvestment in as well with lighting and wayfinding.

[34:42] And then zooming back into the site here, um, you know, Matt touched on some

[34:45] of the the constraints that we have to look at from an environmental lens. So,

[34:50] we found it very interesting to overlay some of the information about soils and

[34:55] flood planes here, especially with that pond on the site and there's a lot of

[34:59] wetlands. There's a lot of storm water management happening elsewhere in the

[35:02] Opus area. So we want to really understand what that means for what does

[35:06] development potentially look like in the future from you know developable area.

[35:11] How much of this site do we really need to dedicate to storm water management?

[35:15] Can that be part of the story? So what we're seeing here is the deeper blue is

[35:19] that um pond itself. The lighter blue is flood plane for that pond. So a pretty

[35:25] good amount of the site we're going to have to be dedicating to storm water

[35:28] management to flood plane which is a really exciting again opportunity to you

[35:33] know leverage that story of what Minnotonka values and what we can

[35:37] embrace as part of this park space. There's also some constraints in the

[35:41] northwest part of the site. There's some hydric soils which is essentially wetter

[35:45] soils that you would see in more of a wetland. So, we are starting to

[35:48] understand some of the constraints from buildable area here and what we can kind

[35:52] of, you know, work within from an environmental perspective.

[35:57] And we're going to jump into community engagement really quick. We've done a

[36:01] handful of engagement events already. Starting in July, uh we did a popup at

[36:05] the farmers market on July 14th. Uh we did a design day, which Olivia is going

[36:10] to touch on really quick here. That was at the end of July. And then the day

[36:13] after that we were able to um table at the disability pride on July 25th. Um

[36:20] the circular bubbles on the right hand of the side the the slide here are some

[36:25] of the major themes that we've been hearing from the community engagement so

[36:28] far. The larger the bubble is the more we've been hearing that theme. So you

[36:33] can see we're really starting to hear a lot of community value in water in

[36:38] seating in play. But you can see there's also a lot of other ideas in there. and

[36:42] we have, you know, a lot of opportunity, a lot of flexibility with this vision

[36:45] plan to think about how we can capture all of these things the community values

[36:49] in the future park. Next week, we'll be doing a popup in Green Circle Park just

[36:53] north of this site. And then um at the end of the month, we're going to be

[36:57] doing an open house inviting um all the residents, doing sort of a direct

[37:02] newsletter, direct mailing to the residents in the Opus area, inviting

[37:06] them to an open house that'll be at the Marriott in the O Opus area.

[37:11] And here's just some, you know, fun photos of community engagement. They're

[37:15] always really fun events. We got a lot of um kids providing input. We had a lot

[37:19] of sticker activities, a lot of post-it notes, a lot of in-person conversations.

[37:23] So, really good valuable feedback there. And Olivia, you'll touch on design day.

[37:27] » Yeah. So, this is design day. Design Day is one of our favorite engagement

[37:31] activities that we do. Um it's really an opportunity to catalyze the project into

[37:37] design and get a ton of different people in the room. So, In this case, we had

[37:43] several people from the city. We had the developer who's um already on board on

[37:48] this project. We had architecture. We had landscape architecture. We had

[37:52] watershed. We have uh EO team as well, environmental

[38:01] consultant. Thank you. We had all the voices in the room together, which is

[38:04] great. So then we were able to talk about the project as a whole, go through

[38:08] precedents, talk about our visions for the site together and then sit down as a

[38:13] group of three in this case and sketch together some initial ideas of what we

[38:18] could start to see. And these conversations are so critical because

[38:22] you have all of these different perspectives right there at the table.

[38:24] So I have this great idea for uh architecture building from the developer

[38:30] perspective and then you also have uh the city there to talk about building

[38:34] heights or you have the environmental consultant to talk about constraints

[38:38] related to the pond. So it just really catalyzes us into some realistic

[38:44] concepts essentially to move us into the next phase of design.

[38:48] » Um one second. It was really cool to have city leadership in terms of um our

[38:55] our folks internally. So we had Phil the engineer, we had Susan planner, we had

[38:59] Will with public works, um Julie, we had just the the big thinkers in the room at

[39:06] at this design day. It was really exciting and I heard a lot of positive

[39:09] feedback that it was really cool to get away from their desks and be able to sit

[39:12] with the developer and sketch out ideas and it was more loose and creative than

[39:16] their day-to-day activities. So, it ended up being a very positive

[39:20] experience from what I heard from from city folks. So,

[39:24] » and you were there, too? >> I was there, too.

[39:28] » Um, if you need to head out, I can take. Okay.

[39:31] » All right. So, what you're looking at here are very loose sketches that were

[39:36] kind of the outcome of design day. So, as Olivia said, um this group of, you

[39:41] know, city folks, public safety, the developer, the developers, architects,

[39:45] the project team, all these folks, we kind of broke into three different

[39:48] tables so that we could see what different ideas these groups would

[39:51] generate, making sure we had, you know, representation from all these different

[39:55] groups at each table. Um, so, you know, we we gave an attempt to kind of name

[40:01] each of these kind of big concepts that each table came up with. And you know

[40:05] the intent was to kind of be loose to kind of let the pen flow just to get

[40:09] some bigger ideas on paper. Um the first group came up with this concept of

[40:13] lines. So you can see you know one of the biggest moves there is this really

[40:17] strong prominade from the light rail stop all the way over to the pond and

[40:21] then park spaces kind of built off of that you know linear prominade. The

[40:26] middle concept that the second table came up with is this idea of funneling.

[40:30] So really embracing the entirety of the light rail station with this public

[40:34] plaza, public park space and then funneling people towards this natural

[40:38] feature of the pond across the site. And then the third concept is nebula where

[40:43] you know what does it look like to kind of break this park space into various

[40:46] components throughout the entirety of the site. Um, but what the the biggest

[40:51] takeaway for all of us really was was this, you know, each group independently

[40:56] with all of these different brains together started thinking about this,

[40:59] you know, east to west connection of of bringing people from the light rail stop

[41:03] from the trail connections that are already existing on the northwest, the

[41:09] the southwest, and then the east side of the site and bringing people through the

[41:14] site and really starting to embrace those already existing trail connections

[41:18] and uh embraceing the natural features. So, you know, it was it was that's a

[41:22] pretty big move um in and of itself to to start thinking about, you know, how

[41:26] are we going to come up with a concept plan for this park moving forward?

[41:32] And this is a version of what that kind of looks like a little bit more uh

[41:35] formalized. You know, it's kind of hard to read architect sketches sometimes.

[41:40] What do those squiggles mean? Um, so what that kind of looks like in a little

[41:44] bit more of a formality. So, you know, we can start identifying, you know, the

[41:48] the white lines or how pedestrians or bicycles might move through the site.

[41:53] You know, building if the road goes through the site or if there is no road

[41:57] through the site, you know, how does that start looking and then how building

[41:59] massing could potentially start looking um throughout the site as a whole. Um,

[42:04] and another encouraging thing was that each group drew a relatively large

[42:08] amount of park space, which is very exciting. So,

[42:15] building masses. >> Yeah. Yeah. Building footprints.

[42:18] » Building footprints. >> And I I want to reiterate that these are

[42:22] very high concept. This is sort of a process for us at this point that these

[42:26] still need to be reviewed by city staff internally and the developer or the

[42:30] watershed districts haven't seen these yet. So this this is just sort of the

[42:34] process of us landscape >> architects.

[42:40] the developer would >> own.

[42:45] » Yep. Correct. >> Yep.

[42:48] » And we we intentionally tried to not overlabel this as part of the process

[42:53] just to kind of let general gestures and ideas and you know figuring out spaces

[42:58] and circulation across the site as well.

[43:13] Yes, we're working together.

[43:19] » Which is also a, you know, kudos to this process for kind of getting ahead of,

[43:24] you know, something that, you know, a developer might come to the table and

[43:29] say, you have this quarter acre to work with for park space. you know, getting

[43:32] kind of ahead of that to envision how can park and development work together

[43:37] to support and enhance each other is is a really cool process.

[43:41] » Just one more to tag on to Ann's question. So, is the the de is the

[43:46] development in the space commercial, residential, retail?

[43:52] » Primarily residential and retail is what we're hearing so far.

[43:55] » Thank you. The other examples that they have pointed to working with the city in

[44:00] sort of a redevelopment style like this um did feature restaurant space

[44:06] primarily residential with a blend of some public space mixed in. They

[44:11] showcased an example um on the river in ana that they just wrapped up a big sort

[44:16] of prominade along the river that had residential and a and a city space

[44:20] associated with it was very similar to our open space. So they totally get that

[44:25] process and seem to be excited to work with us

[44:32] » and through internal discussions with the project team and um talking through

[44:37] some of the folks that were there at design day. It seems like, you know,

[44:41] trending towards this idea of funneling to really, you know, kind of embrace

[44:45] that light rail stop and in enhance the existing trail connections on the on the

[44:52] west side of the site to really start bringing people through and make a

[44:55] really fluid connection of park space across the site. Again, this is very

[45:00] high level. It'll look probably pretty different at the end of this, but this

[45:04] is kind of our jumping off point of a of a concept that, you know, a lot of

[45:08] people are in the room together kind of sketching, ideulating together. Do you

[45:12] want to add anything to that? >> Just that we still have a long way to

[45:16] go, but there there's a fine tuning, a whittling down of big ideas um and a lot

[45:22] of a lot of interest. You know, we certainly need to protect the storm

[45:25] water, so the wershed district will need to weigh in. Is this accommodating for

[45:28] enough units? the developer is going to have to go back and look at those sorts

[45:31] of things. But this represents an opportunity for us to take the wheel a

[45:35] little bit in this process um and coordinate with everybody along the way.

[45:43] » Very cool.

[45:49] » It's that >> green uh bar on the west side. Yes.

[45:55] There on the hand. The concept is there will be no

[46:02] » parking associated with the residential units. So if you're familiar, we'll see

[46:07] him tonight on the bus tour. Um all the parking associated with the residential

[46:12] area or the residential buildings just south that that turn on outside E

[46:16] building that's called Minnetonka station that just opened. The parking is

[46:20] on the ground level. So underneath the residential units or there's associated

[46:25] parking garages. It would be this situation, but it would not have a large

[46:29] park and lot ride lot associated with this

[46:32] » public space.

[46:38] » Or at the west side, there's a park and ride drop off area,

[46:43] the west side of the station, there's essentially like um

[46:49] » a kiss. >> Yeah, that's what they're called. Yeah.

[46:54] So, more of a commuter lot than a park and ride style lot.

[46:59] Pick up and drop off. Well, since we're kind of diving into some questions, I

[47:03] guess I'll throw one out, too. Um, so programming in this space would be

[47:08] really focused around residents and workers in

[47:12] that in the Opus area. You wouldn't want to throw a event that would bring people

[47:17] in substantially unless they were coming in on the train.

[47:21] » You know what I mean? >> Yes.

[47:23] » There's no parking. That's what we're trying to find out through this out

[47:26] outreach and engagement process. What's the appropriate amount of that sort of

[47:30] space? >> Okay. Thank you.

[47:33] » So, I'm getting a little bit of like a uh Centennial Lakes vibe

[47:39] » um to this and we'll see, you know, but the other thing from the from the

[47:46] bubbles, >> community engagement bubbles, granted

[47:50] there's already water in this pond, but it also start to give me this like Round

[47:55] Lake splash pad playground vibe. >> Um,

[48:01] so just plug those in. >> We've talked about Centennial Lakes

[48:04] quite a bit during this process. Round Lake hasn't come up, but Centennial for

[48:09] sure. There's a lot of similarities with the office space around it.

[48:13] » Yeah, I think I think in regard to Centennial Lake, what you know,

[48:16] community has brought up is the amount of like family activities available to

[48:21] do there and actually draws you to want to come there.

[48:25] » Um whether you're, you know, living around it as a resident or, you know,

[48:28] you're, hey, let's drive a half hour to somewhere new that, you know, we haven't

[48:32] been to in a couple years or something. So,

[48:36] um, these are images from, you know, other projects elsewhere completely

[48:41] around the world. Again, this is a very unique opportunity,

[48:45] um, from a park space perspective. So, we don't want to be too constrained with

[48:49] thinking, you know, too small here. I think, you know, there's a lot of

[48:52] opportunity to think big with what could potentially be here and um, you know,

[48:56] those bubbles of community feedback were mentioned and this is what people were

[49:01] really reacting to. Um, you know, what they would like to see. You're seeing

[49:04] that balance of, you know, nature, that connection to nature, natural spaces,

[49:08] native plantings, but also things to do amongst that. So, places you can gather

[49:13] with friends and family, places to play, places to maybe learn about the

[49:17] environment, you know, sit alongside some some water, some nature, and

[49:22] there's a whole, you know, you know, sort of spectrum of what all of these

[49:27] activities could really look like. And this is what, you know, our next round

[49:30] of community engagement that we're going to be doing next week and later this

[49:33] month is to dive a lot deeper into these elements and really understand from

[49:38] community, you know, is this is that type of playground, you know, way too

[49:43] big of a scale of your thinking? Are you thinking smaller? Or is that what you

[49:45] want to see? You want to see something really iconic here for Minnetonka. Um,

[49:50] So that's kind of our next step and intent is, you know, we've kind of

[49:53] started thinking about this bubble diagramming programmatically at a high

[49:56] level and then starting to get into that next level with community. What's the

[50:00] right scale? What's the right, you know, kind of vibe for this space?

[50:06] » That's it. >> Thank you all for your time. And any

[50:11] more questions? >> Thank you. Yeah. Any questions,

[50:14] comments? You'll see it with your own eyes. At

[50:18] least in its current condition here. >> It's very exciting. Get ready.

[50:22] » Yeah, really. Brace yourself. >> I guess I'll throw out one since I

[50:27] always throw out questions. Um, the Golden Triangle is that I'll call it

[50:32] the optimum lot. Is that the optimum station?

[50:37] » Let me go back. >> No, that one's called City West

[50:41] » on the map. I didn't see. Is that on the map? Yeah, just south of our Opus

[50:44] station. >> It is the optimum station basically.

[50:48] Okay. City city west. I'm sorry. That's what I meant to say. So that has a big

[50:52] park and ride lot. So if that's where I was kind of headed is I don't know what

[50:56] the frequency of the train is, assuming it runs.

[50:59] » Um but Shady Oak and City West have large

[51:05] parking areas. So it's depend on the frequency. if you were to want to have

[51:10] something to happen on a weekend or something, people could park there and

[51:15] just ride in for four minutes on the train, too. So,

[51:21] » and and we've heard from community community members that, you know, having

[51:26] something iconic here, you know, artwork or an iconic play structure, whatever

[51:30] that may be, will, >> you know, make people want to get off

[51:33] the train. So, you know, maybe maybe someone, you know, does the park and

[51:38] ride lot at the Golden Triangle Station, commutes into St. Louis Park or downtown

[51:42] every single day, but they see I want to bring my kid there one weekend. I'm

[51:46] going to come back here. You know, that's kind of

[51:48] » Sure. That's >> Yeah. Yeah. So, I do have an

[51:53] announcement of an announcement, which is that on September 26, there is going

[52:00] to be an event in St. Louis Park. location to be determined at 10:00 a.m.

[52:06] and at that event opening day of the light will be

[52:10] announced. Okay. So, >> all right.

[52:13] » By the end of this month, we will know when opening day of the light rail will

[52:18] be. So, that is exciting in the sense of we we will have an answer,

[52:24] » right? >> But I encourage you, you know, we had a

[52:26] really cool event where we um when they reopened the trails and celebrated the

[52:31] reopening of the and a lot of a lot of community there, a lot of, you know,

[52:36] free stuff, ice cream and those kinds of things. So, keep an eye out for this

[52:40] event and come join us so you can find out

[52:42] » when the library is going to open. >> That's exciting.

[52:47] » Well, this is a great a great presentation.

[52:50] » It's an exciting project certainly and we got a long way to go before we're

[52:54] cutting any ribbons out there. Um, but this setting we're we're hitting the

[52:58] ground running that I think we have a really solid team. a lot of excitement

[53:02] from staff in the city, a lot of excitement from city leaders, you folks.

[53:06] It's really a kind of a thrilling opportunity for us here in the city of

[53:10] Manitaka. So, thank you. >> Matt, oh,

[53:15] » I know you have some upcoming engagement events that you mentioned, but do you

[53:19] have any more information related to timeline for this particular plan and

[53:24] when they might see it? Again, the parking council. Our current scope in

[53:28] terms of timeline would be to be producing a a draft version of this

[53:32] document to be presented first to the park board late this fall is our

[53:37] timeline. Early winter seems more like it at this point. There there's going to

[53:41] be a lot of distillation of community feedback. Um I know these these two

[53:46] events are locked in. We're also going to be at the firehouse open house which

[53:49] I believe is um October 6th. So we'll have a table there as well. Um, so

[53:54] there'll just be some some doing u behind the scenes before we produce this

[53:58] draft document um that I would go up on on our Mitaka Matters site for public

[54:04] feedback and and be presented to the park board. I'm expecting I mean no

[54:08] December probably at this point after the new year potentially.

[54:16] So, another sort of big picture question, and I feel sort of stupid

[54:21] because I don't know the answer to this. Um, in the CIP plan, there was talk

[54:27] about we're going to have a we need more park space in Opus and there was a very

[54:33] big number about how much it was going to cost and some of that was to buy

[54:38] land, I think. >> Is this that park or is that a separate

[54:42] park? That's this part. This part is okay.

[54:44] » And yes, they're big numbers and we're we're trying to figure out through this

[54:48] process that we're on the same page with the developer. We get a better sense of

[54:52] what they would offer us in terms of the land, what they would owe us in terms of

[54:55] the land and with their redevelopment. Um, so this, like I said, helps us take

[54:59] the wheel in that conversation a little bit working with them.

[55:06] It seems dog park is kind of on some of our

[55:10] minds, >> it doesn't seem like there'd be enough

[55:14] room for a big one. It would if there was one, it would be small.

[55:18] » Yes, it'd be a smaller like urban style, smaller fencing area.

[55:23] » Thank you. >> Well, this sounds so exciting.

[55:27] » Maybe we should take a tour. >> Good idea.

[55:31] » So, unless anybody else we could Yes, Leslie. Um, just a couple of notes. One

[55:36] is um I know some of you are aware park board member Brad Lman um ended up

[55:43] having an opportunity to move out of state and as you know we haven't met for

[55:48] three months so it's it's been a while since we met but he had to resign his

[55:51] position. He was hoping to be at this meeting, but he and his wife, and I

[55:56] don't think he mind, have had an opportunity to move closer

[56:00] to their children and grandchildren. And so, it's very exciting for him. They

[56:04] ended up moving earlier than they thought they would, but he wanted to

[56:06] send his regards and his deep appreciation for serving on the board

[56:11] board and being appointed by the council. He really enjoyed his tenure

[56:14] here. He was sorry to leave. He really enjoyed it. So, he just sends his

[56:19] regards. So, we certainly appreciate all that.

[56:22] He was a good contributor. >> Yes, he was a very good contributor. Um,

[56:25] and then the second is, as Matt mentioned, we will be taking a tour. So,

[56:29] hopefully you are all on board for that. And is the bus here? The bus is here.

[56:34] It's always kind of nerve-wracking making sure the bus shows up. Um, so we

[56:38] will be starting at the OPA station. So, you will get to see exactly what they've

[56:43] been talking about. Right now it's very urban and big

[56:47] parking lot sort of a bit dated but you'll get to uh use the information

[56:54] they provided to try to envision what this could look like. So we'll start

[56:58] there and then the second place we will go is the big willow park. Um as you

[57:02] know we are in the middle of completing a master plan. Last year we went and we

[57:07] looked at the ballpark or ball fields area. This time we're going to go to

[57:13] natural area along the creek on the south side of the creek along the Tanka

[57:17] Boulevard where there was proposed you know picnic shelters trails and Matt

[57:22] will talk through that but we're going to go see that area as well. So just two

[57:26] stops tonight so we can take our time. We should be back about 8:30. Um so I

[57:31] just encourage you to take maybe 10 minutes or so if you need to use the

[57:35] restroom. If you want to grab something to drink, we do have some beverages here

[57:39] you can bring with you if you leave anything will here. The facility staff

[57:44] will make sure it's um safe and then we will come back at about 8:30 and the bus

[57:49] should be out in the front >> out in the front of the community

[57:52] center. >> So, do we need a motion?

[57:54] » We do. >> So, those are my notes. Yes. Now, if you

[57:57] would like to move to

[58:01] » I'd like to move that we adjourn. >> All right.

[58:03] » Second. >> All in favor?

[58:06] » I >> And I just also want to say that uh

[58:09] Council Member Wilburn is here. attendance. Zoomed in very quietly.
