[4:57] PUBLIC WORKS HOSTED A COMMUNITY

[4:59] MEETING ON TUESDAY, JUNE 17TH,

[5:03] 2025, AT THE PERSIAN RECREATION

[5:05] CENTER.

[5:06] 106 ATTENDEES CAME TO THIS

[5:08] MEETING.

[5:10] ON MAY 1, 2025, THE CITY COUNCIL

[5:12] DESIGNATED THE IMPROVEMENTS

[5:14] PROPOSED TO THE 2025 FULTON

[5:16] STREET RESURFACING PROJECT.

[5:19] THE PURPOSE OF THE ASPHALT

[5:20] PAVEMENT RESURFACING PROJECT IS

[5:24] FOR SOME CITY STREETS NOT

[5:27] SCHEDULED FOR MAINTENANCE OR

[5:28] RECONSTRUCTION IN THE

[5:29] FORESEEABLE FUTURE.

[5:30] THIS RESURFACING PROGRAM IS

[5:32] ADDRESSING CITY STREETS THAT ARE

[5:33] AT A POINT IN THEIR LIFE CYCLE

[5:35] WHERE A NEW SURFACE WILL IMPROVE

[5:39] THEIR LIFE, RIDE QUALITY,

[5:40] NEIGHBORHOOD LIVABILITY AND HELP

[5:42] SLOW THE OVERALL DETERIORATION

[5:44] OF OUR CITY STREET SYSTEM.

[5:46] THE PROPOSED STREET RESURFACING

[5:48] SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS WERE

[5:49] DETERMINED BY APPLYING THE 2025

[5:54] UNIFORM ASSESSMENT RATES TO THE

[5:55] PARCELS ALONG THE IMPROVED

[5:59] STREETS.

[5:59] THE U.A.R. IS USED REGARDLESS OF

[6:01] SPECIFIC DESIGN FEATURES.

[6:04] INFORMATION HAS BEEN PROVIDED TO

[6:05] THE EFFECTED PROPERTY OWNERS AND

[6:08] NOTICES MAILED TO THEM ON HOW

[6:09] THEY MAY PREPAY ASSESSMENTS IN

[6:11] FULL WITHOUT INTEREST IF THEY SO

[6:13] CHOOSE.

[6:13] PUBLIC WORKS DID MAKE AN ERROR

[6:15] WITH THE PUBLIC HEARING NOTICES

[6:17] RELATED TO 51st STREET IN CHOWEN

[6:23] AND YORK.

[6:24] THIS WAS CORRECTED BY SENDING

[6:25] CORRECTED NOTICES TO THEM.

[6:26] CITY COUNCIL HAS PASSED

[6:28] RESOLUTIONS WHEREBY DEFERMENT OF

[6:30] SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS MAY BE

[6:32] OBTAINED BY SHOWING HARDSHIP FOR

[6:34] ANY HOMESTEAD PROPERTY OWNED BY

[6:36] A PERSON 65 YEARS OR OLDER,

[6:39] RETIRED BY PERMANENT DISABILITY

[6:41] OR MILITARY PERSONNEL ORDERED

[6:43] INTO ACTIVE MILITARY SERVICE.

[6:44] THIS COMPLETES BY PRESENTATION,

[6:46] I AM AVAILABLE TO RESPOND TO ANY

[6:48] QUESTIONS THE COMMITTEE MAY

[6:50] HAVE.

[6:50] >> THANK YOU SO MUCH.

[6:51] I'LL NOW OPEN THE PUBLIC

[6:53] HEARING.

[6:54] IF YOU ARE HERE BUT DID NOT SIGN

[6:55] UP YET AND WISH TO SPEAK, PLEASE

[6:59] SEE THE CLERK.

[7:00] RAISE YOUR HAND THERE.

[7:01] AND YOU CAN SIGN UP.

[7:03] EACH SPEAKER WILL HAVE TWO

[7:05] MINUTES TO PROVIDE TESTIMONY.

[7:06] JUST A REMINDER THAT SPEAKING

[7:09] HERE TODAY, YOU RESERVE YOUR

[7:10] RIGHT TO APPEAL AFTER THE PUBLIC

[7:13] HEARING.

[7:13] COMMITTEE MEMBERS WILL HAVE A

[7:14] GENERAL DISCUSSION ABOUT THIS

[7:16] ITEM, BUT IF YOU HAVE SPECIFIC

[7:17] QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR ASSESSMENT,

[7:19] STAFF WILL BE AVAILABLE TO MEET

[7:20] YOU OUTSIDE OF THE CHAMBER

[7:21] TODAY.

[7:23] WITH THAT, OUR FIRST SPEAKER IS

[7:26] RHONDA GROBE.

[7:33] WELCOME.

[7:33] >> THANK YOU.

[7:33] THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE.

[7:35] YOU HAVE A JOB I WOULD NOT WANT.

[7:36] JUST LETTING YOU KNOW.

[7:37] I DO OBJECT TO THE SPECIAL

[7:39] ASSESSMENT FOR THE RESURFACING

[7:41] PROJECT.

[7:41] I HAVE BEEN PAYING INCREASINGLY

[7:44] LARGE PROPERTY TAXES IN GOOD

[7:45] FAITH FOR ALMOST 40 YEARS.

[7:48] ON THE UNDERSTANDING THAT ONE OF

[7:49] THE THINGS THE CITY OF

[7:50] MINNEAPOLIS DOES WITH THAT MONEY

[7:51] IS MAINTAIN THE CITY STREETS.

[7:53] THE CITY IS NOW DIGGING UP THE

[7:55] STREET TO REPLACE LEAD WATER

[7:57] PIPES WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO BE

[7:58] COVERED BY A FEDERAL GRANT AND

[8:00] THEN THEY'RE PUTTING IN

[8:02] ADDITIONAL WATERSHED GREEN

[8:04] SPACES WHICH I PAY FOR ON MY

[8:05] WATER BILL.

[8:06] AND THEY ARE DOING THIS BECAUSE

[8:07] THEY ALLOWED TOO MANY LARGE

[8:08] HOUSES TO BE BUILT ON THE SPACE

[8:09] AND THEY DON'T HAVE ENOUGH GREEN

[8:10] SPACE ANYMORE, BUT NOT MY HOUSE

[8:12] LIT OF -- IT'S NOT APPROPRIATE

[8:16] TO ASK ME TO PAY ADDITIONAL

[8:17] MONEY THROUGH A SPECIAL

[8:18] ASSESSMENT WHEN THE CITY HAS

[8:20] ALREADY CHARGED ME TWO TIMES AND

[8:21] OBTAINED A GRANT.

[8:22] THERE IS NO ENHANCED BENEFIT TO

[8:23] MY PROPERTY WHEN YOU MAINTAIN

[8:25] THE CITY STREETS AROUND MY

[8:27] PROPERTY, THE BENEFIT IS THAT

[8:29] I'M ALREADY ENTITLED TO IT.

[8:31] I EXPECT YOU TO RESURFACE THE

[8:33] STREETS AROUND MY HOUSE WITHOUT

[8:35] COLLECTING A SPECIAL ASSESSMENT

[8:37] AND I RETAIN MY RIGHT TO APPEAL.

[8:39] THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

[8:39] >> THANK YOU.

[8:44] NEXT SPEAKER WE HAVE I BELIEVE

[8:46] IT'S DOUGLAS HILLWAY.

[8:51] HELLWAY.

[8:52] WELCOME, MR. HELLWAY.

[8:55] >> MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL, THANK

[8:57] YOU.

[8:57] MY NAME IS DOUGLAS HELLWAY, I'M

[9:00] A RESIDENT AT 5345 BEARD AVENUE

[9:02] SOUTH IN THE FULTON AVENUE AREA.

[9:05] I'M ALSO A LICENSED ATTORNEY AND

[9:07] I AM CHALLENGING THE LEGALITY OF

[9:10] THIS ASSESSMENT.

[9:11] THE COUNCIL MEMBERS MAY OR MAY

[9:12] NOT BE AWARE OF A CASE THAT WENT

[9:16] BEFORE THE MINNESOTA SUPREME

[9:18] COURT A FEW YEARS AGO ENTITLED

[9:19] FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH VERSUS THE

[9:21] CITY OF --

[9:22] >> MR. HELLWAY, CAN YOU JUST

[9:23] MOVE SLIGHTLY OVER IN FRONT OF

[9:25] THE MICROPHONE.

[9:26] I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE ARE ABLE

[9:28] TO CAPTURE -- THANK YOU.

[9:29] >> THANK YOU.

[9:30] THE COUNCIL MEMBERS MAY BE AWARE

[9:31] OF A CASE THAT WENT TO THE

[9:33] MINNESOTA SUPREME COURT A FEW

[9:34] YEARS AGO CALLED FIRST BAPTIST

[9:37] CHURCH V. THE CITY OF ST. PAUL.

[9:39] JUST A VERY BRIEF BACKGROUND ON

[9:41] THAT CASE, THE CITY OF ST. PAUL

[9:43] DID EXACTLY WHAT IS BEING

[9:46] PROPOSED HERE TODAY A SPECIAL

[9:48] ASSESSMENT FOR IMPROVEMENTS AND

[9:50] RESURFACING OF THE STREETS.

[9:51] A GROUP OF ANGRY HOMEOWNERS IN

[9:54] ST. PAUL GOT TOGETHER, HIRED A

[9:55] LAWYER, AND SUED THE CITY ON THE

[9:59] BASIS THAT THIS WAS A PUBLIC

[10:01] BENEFIT AND THE BENEFIT OF

[10:04] RESURFACING STREETS DID NOT

[10:08] IMPACT INDIVIDUAL PROPERTY

[10:10] OWNERS.

[10:10] THE HOMEOWNERS LOST AT THE

[10:12] DISTRICT COURT LEVEL, THEY LOST

[10:13] AT THE COURT OF APPEALS LEVEL.

[10:16] HOWEVER THE MINNESOTA SUPREME

[10:16] COURT REVERSED AND HELD THAT

[10:18] SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS FOR STREET

[10:24] RESURFACING BY A MUNICIPALITY

[10:26] ARE INAPPROPRIATE BECAUSE IT'S A

[10:27] BENEFIT TO THE PUBLIC AND NOT

[10:29] THE INDIVIDUAL HOMEOWNER.

[10:32] I DID SEND SOME CORRESPONDENCE

[10:35] TO MY CITY COUNCIL MEMBER,

[10:36] MS. PALMISANO AND I DID GET A

[10:39] RESPONSE FROM THE CITY BASICALLY

[10:41] STATING THAT THE CITY DOES NOT

[10:42] ASSESS FOR THINGS LIKE

[10:48] SNOWPLOWING, STREET CLEANING

[10:49] TREES AND THAT KIND OF THING.

[10:50] AND THAT'S TRUE.

[10:53] BUT IN THIS CASE THEY NUMERATED

[10:54] THE ITEMS INAPPROPRIATE FOR

[10:57] ASSESSMENTS, AND STREET

[10:59] RESURFACING IS CLEARLY SPECIFIED

[11:00] IN THAT CASE.

[11:01] SO JUST TO WRAP IT UP, I FEEL

[11:04] THAT LEGALLY SPEAKING, THIS IS

[11:06] ILLEGAL AND IT'S GOING TO

[11:07] SUBJECT THE CITY TO A LAWSUIT

[11:11] WHICH COULD COST THE CITY MORE

[11:12] DOWN THE ROAD.

[11:13] SO I WOULD ENCOURAGE ALL MEMBERS

[11:15] BEFORE THEY VOTE ON THIS TO READ

[11:18] THAT CASE.

[11:19] IT'S FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH V.

[11:22] CITY OF ST. PAUL 884 NORTHWEST

[11:25] 2nd, SUPREME COURT.

[11:26] THANK YOU.

[11:26] >> THANK YOU.

[11:28] ARE THERE ANY OTHER SPEAKERS

[11:30] THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TODAY?

[11:34] ALL RIGHT.

[11:34] I AM NOT SEEING ANYONE.

[11:36] SO I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC

[11:39] HEARING AND I WOULD LIKE TO OPEN

[11:41] THIS UP FOR DISCUSSION OR

[11:42] QUESTIONS FROM COMMITTEE

[11:45] MEMBERS.

[11:46] ANY QUESTIONS FROM COMMITTEE

[11:48] MEMBERS?

[11:51] NOT SEEING ANY.

[11:52] I DO WANT TO NOTE AGAIN AND

[11:54] REITERATE THAT THERE WILL BE

[11:56] STAFF HERE AFTERWARDS TO ANSWER

[11:59] ANY QUESTIONS, DISCUSS IF WE

[12:01] HAVE ANY SPECIAL PROGRAMS FOR

[12:03] HELPING IN SUPPORT AND ALSO TO

[12:07] POTENTIALLY DISCUSS FURTHER

[12:08] QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT YOU BROUGHT

[12:09] UP, MR. HELLWAY.

[12:12] SO SEEING NO OTHER FURTHER

[12:13] QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS, I WILL

[12:15] MOVE APPROVAL OF THIS ITEM.

[12:17] ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE?

[12:21] >> AYE.

[12:22] >> ANY A -- OPPOSED SAY NAY?

[12:27] ANY ABSTENTIONS?

[12:29] THAT ITEM PASSES.

[12:30] NEXT UP IS AN ORDINANCE RELATED

[12:32] TO CONCERTS AT THE UPPER HARBOR

[12:38] COMMUNITY CENTER.

[12:39] >> THANK YOU.

[12:40] MY NAME IS KELLY MULMAN, I'M THE

[12:42] DIRECTOR OF PROGRAMS IN THE

[12:44] MINNEAPOLIS HEALTH DEPARTMENT.

[12:45] I'M HERE TO SPEAK BRIEFLY IN

[12:47] SUMMARY OF WHAT THIS ORDINANCE

[12:50] AMENDMENT IS.

[12:51] SO THE REDEVELOPMENT OF THE CITY

[12:53] OWNED UPPER HARBOR TERMINAL SITE

[12:56] INCLUDES DEVELOPMENT AND

[12:57] CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW OUTDOOR

[12:59] MUSIC PERFORMANCE VENUE, THE

[13:02] COMMUNITY PERFORMING ARTS

[13:04] CENTER.

[13:04] THIS IS A 10,000 PERSON CAPACITY

[13:07] AMPHITHEATER.

[13:08] THE CPAC WILL BE DEVELOPED,

[13:09] CONSTRUCTED, AND OPERATED BY THE

[13:11] PORT OF MINNEAPOLIS LLC, A

[13:14] PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN 1st AVENUE

[13:16] PRODUCTIONS AND THE MINNESOTA

[13:19] ORCHESTRA ASSOCIATION.

[13:20] THE PORT OF MINNEAPOLIS HAS

[13:21] REQUESTED THE CITY AMEND ITS

[13:23] NOISE ORDINANCE FOR THE CPAC TO

[13:25] HAVE A VIABLE OPTION FOR

[13:27] WORLD-CLASS TOURING ARTISTS, AS

[13:29] WELL AS TO PERMIT FULL MUSICAL

[13:30] EXPRESSION BY ARTISTS PERFORMING

[13:31] AT THE CPAC.

[13:33] THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE

[13:34] MINNEAPOLIS CODE OF ORDINANCES,

[13:37] TITLE 15 CHAPTER 389, NOISE,

[13:40] WILL ALLOW AMPLIFIED SOUND FROM

[13:41] THE CPAC FOR 54 COMMERCIAL

[13:45] EVENTS IN ANY CALENDAR YEAR.

[13:48] THAT'S ONE OF THE AMENDMENTS.

[13:49] THE SOUND AMPLIFYING EQUIPMENT

[13:51] WILL ONLY BE USED BETWEEN THE

[13:53] HOURS OF 7:00 A.M. TO 10:00 P.M.

[13:55] THAT IS CURRENTLY STANDARD

[13:56] WITHIN OUR ORDINANCE.

[13:59] THE SOUND MEASURED AT 134 FEET

[14:03] FROM THE SOURCE WILL NOT EXCEED

[14:06] 98 DECIBELS, AND THAT IS A

[14:07] CHANGE FROM OUR CURRENT

[14:07] ORDINANCE.

[14:10] SO HOW WILL THIS WORK?

[14:12] AT THE BEGINNING OF EACH

[14:13] CALENDAR YEAR, THE CITY AND THE

[14:15] PORT OF MINNEAPOLIS WILL MEET TO

[14:17] REVIEW THE COMMUNITY PERFORMING

[14:19] ARTS CENTER EVENTS CALENDAR FOR

[14:20] THE YEAR.

[14:21] THE PORT OF MINNEAPOLIS WILL

[14:22] SUBMIT AN AMPLIFIED PERMIT SOUND

[14:26] APPLICATION FOR THE 54 EVENTS

[14:27] AND UPON APPROVAL FOR THE

[14:29] PERMIT, THE CITY WILL ISSUE

[14:30] THOSE AMPLIFIED SOUND PERMITS

[14:32] FOR THE 54 COMMERCIAL EVENTS.

[14:34] I'M HERE TO STAND FOR QUESTIONS.

[14:35] I ALSO BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE

[14:37] MEMBERS FROM OUR COMMUNITY

[14:39] PLANNING DEPARTMENT AND MEMBERS

[14:40] OF THE PORT OF MINNEAPOLIS.

[14:44] >> THANK YOU SO MUCH.

[14:47] I WILL NOW OPEN THE PUBLIC

[14:50] HEARING.

[14:50] IF YOU DID NOT SIGN UP AND WISH

[14:52] TO SPEAK, PLEASE SEE THE CLERK.

[14:54] AND I DO NOT HAVE ANYBODY ON THE

[14:56] LIST, SO AGAIN LAST CALL HERE IF

[14:58] ANYBODY WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK.

[15:02] NOT SEEING ANYONE.

[15:03] AND SO I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC

[15:04] HEARING.

[15:05] AND WANTED TO SEE IF THERE'S ANY

[15:07] QUESTIONS FROM COMMITTEE

[15:08] MEMBERS.

[15:11] I AM NOT SEEING ANY.

[15:13] AND SO I WILL MOVE TO APPROVE

[15:14] THESE ITEMS.

[15:15] ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

[15:16] >> AYE.

[15:17] >> THOSE OPPOSED SAY NAY?

[15:20] ANY ABSTENTIONS?

[15:21] THAT MOTION CARRIES.

[15:23] WITH THAT, WE HAVE CONCLUDED ALL

[15:24] BUSINESS TO COME BEFORE THE

[15:27] COMMITTEE AND WITHOUT OBJECTION,

[15:28] WE STAND ADJOURNED.

[15:29] THANK YOU.
