I'm here to present to you the public hearing for the Loring Park Resurfacing Project and recommend passage of resolution adopting special assessments in the amount of $648,801.44 for the Loring Park Resurfacing Project and passage of resolution requesting the Board of Estimate and Taxation authorize the city's issuance and sale of assessment bonds in the amount of $648,801.44 for the project.

Seeing no one else wishing to speak, I will now move to continue uh this item to our June to our June 4th meeting uh as Councilmember Wansley had outlined. at a previous meeting. This is to accommodate for two dates that were noticed to the public to ensure that all who wish to testify are able to.

One thing to note is that both of these funding sources expire in 2027. There are current discussions at the state legislature legis legislature, excuse me, to increase funding for future years, um but we're waiting to see how that shakes out.

For that item, we're targeting the green zones. Um the Northside green zone we expect to be done by the end of this year with about 20 uh 1,200 1,255 uh services being done there this year. Um in the future we'll be moving on to the Southside green zone.

I am a little bit concerned about the lack of dedicated funding beyond next year. We don't have funding for the Southside green zone infrastructure projects or the rest of the city. How is it looking from your perspective on state or federal funding for this and what would be our options to comply with the mandate that I think is 2037 without additional funding?

I'm just wondering why this wasn't, um, coupled with the, um, sewer line replacement project because I know it was done that way in other cities like in St. Paul and what have you. So, they did the sewer line replacement grant coupled with the, uh, lead water line removal, um, you know, program as well. So, there was one excavation done to the street at one time and they were they did it. So, why wasn't this coupled being that there's such a high concentration of sewer lines that also need to be replaced in in North Side?

Will the 71 projects that we're setting out to do cover every single child care center that needs this important update or are we going to be looking out into the future for um additional work at child care centers?

Now, the team that I work in focuses on developing practices and mechanics to interrupt that cycle and to prevent the pollutants to get downstream and impact and minimize the impact on the water resources. And all of these practices that we do, they all fall within what we call our storm water management program.

Our motivation is clean water. However, our regulatory driver is actually what we call storm water permit. The storm water permit is issued to both the city of Minneapolis and Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board, where we are the co-permittees and we're both responsible to comply with the standards and requirements of this permit. And the permit is issued by Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, where they actually get their authority through the Clean Water Act of 1972.

So, how frequently are the storm water drains and things like that um cleaned out especially in our North Minneapolis area?
