Whereas, it has been proposed and the City has caused to be prepared, and this Council has investigated the facts with respect to, the West Broadway Curve Tax Increment Financing Plan (the “TIF Plan”).

Be It Further Resolved that the TIF Plan conforms to the general plan for the development or redevelopment of the city as a whole as reflected in the written comments of the City Planning Commission with respect to the TIF Plan on file in the office of the City Clerk.

Be It Further Resolved that the TIF Plan will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the sound needs of the city as a whole, for the redevelopment of the TIF District by private enterprise.

Be It Further Resolved that the land in the TIF District would not be made available for redevelopment without the financial aid and public assistance to be sought.

Be It Further Resolved that the proposed development would not reasonably be expected to occur solely through private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future.

Be It Further Resolved that the reasons and facts supporting the findings in this resolution are described in the TIF Plan.

Be It Further Resolved that the Council elects the method of computation provided in Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.177, Subdivision 3, Paragraph (a) and by making this election, the entire fiscal disparity contribution required of the City for development occurring within this District will be taken from outside the District.

Be It Further Resolved that the TIF Plan presented to the Council on this date is hereby approved and shall be placed on file in the office of the City Clerk.

The interest rate charged on each such interfund loan to or from the TIF District shall be equal to the average interest rate that revenue in the City’s TI special revenue funds earn at the time the loan is made, and such interest rate shall vary over time. In no event will the interest rate charged on any such interfund loan exceed the greater of the rates specified under Minnesota Statutes, Section 270C.40 or 549.09, as such statutory rates are adjusted from time to time. The maximum term of each such interfund loan to the TIF District shall be the earlier of 1) the date that all principal and accrued interest on the loan is repaid, and 2) the date the TIF District is decertified. The maximum term of each such interfund loan from the TIF District to another TIF district shall be the earlier of 1) the date that all principal and accrued interest on the loan is repaid, and 2) the date the other TIF district is decertified.

Whereas, the City of Minneapolis, Minnesota (the “City”) is an “entitlement issuer” within the meaning of Minnesota Statutes, Section 474A.02, subd. 7; and

Whereas, the City’s entitlement allocation of private activity bond volume cap for 2020 under Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 474A.03, subdivisions 1 and 2a was $53,268,201 (the “2020 Allocation”); and

Whereas, the City expects to issue $8,064,500 of private activity bonds allocable to its 2020 Allocation on or prior to December 31, 2020; and

Whereas, the City may, under § 146(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and under Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 474A, “carryforward” all or a portion of the City’s unused 2020 Allocation for use in calendar years 2021, 2022, and 2023; and

Whereas, the City has determined that there continues to be a shortage of financing for residential rental projects which persons and families residing or desiring to reside in the City can afford; and

Whereas, private activity volume cap is a limited resource, and it is in the best interest of the public health, safety and welfare that the City carryforward for qualified carryforward purposes its unused 2020 Allocation as of December 31, 2020;

Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved by The City Council of The City of Minneapolis:

RESOLUTION 2020R-352 By Johnson, Cano, Gordon, and Osman

Recognizing the community-led process for cultural and economic recovery for the Minnehaha Ave and E Lake St area.

Whereas, a community coalition of place-based partners, including the Longfellow Community Council, the Longfellow Business Association, Seward Redesign, Longfellow Rising, and the Lake Street Council in collaboration with other key stakeholders such as social justice coalitions, cultural and arts organizations, including Tending the Soil (collectively, the “Coalition”), is undertaking efforts to assist the residents and businesses of the Minnehaha Avenue and East Lake Street area (“Area”) through a coordinated and strategic process to heal from trauma, achieve cultural renewal, and reach economic recovery for the Area, which was impacted by civil unrest in response to the death of Mr. George Floyd while in police custody, for which four Minneapolis Police Officers have been charged with murder, understanding that this Coalition may change and evolve, and also includes the voices of the unrepresented or unaffiliated; and

Whereas, the Coalition’s goal is to create a coordinated vision for equitable and culturally appropriate economic development in the Area that promotes racial justice while enhancing public spaces, preserving key community assets, and rebuilding civic, commercial, and residential places for coming years (“Work Products”); and

Whereas, the Work Products will be inclusive and respectful of the urgent need for this community to center the values of justice and racial equity; and

Whereas, healing and community engagement will be at the forefront of the Coalition’s work to ensure that the collective wisdom of residents, businesses, workers, and community organizations informs efforts to rebuild the Minnehaha Avenue and East Lake Street area located in the Longfellow neighborhood in a way that serves the whole community and recognizes the significance of this historic moment in the life of Minneapolis; and

Whereas, the City of Minneapolis is formulating a separate process to gather input and inform the future site of the Third Precinct, and welcomes community input from this Coalition that can be included in those ongoing discussions; and

Whereas, the Coalition’s work will result in cohesive and collaborative Work Products that can guide the cultural and economic recovery of this Area and that will acknowledge the roles of the City and other levels of government in this work;

Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved by The City Council of The City of Minneapolis:

That the City of Minneapolis formally recognizes the efforts of the Coalition, will receive the Coalition’s Work Products, and will consider its recommendations when formulating the City’s redevelopment objectives, investments, plans, and policies for the Area.

The following is the complete text of the unpublished summarized resolution.

RESOLUTION 2020R-353 By Goodman

Adopting a Sustainability Policy for City-supported one to three-unit new construction residential development.

Whereas, there is overwhelming scientific consensus that climate change is a real and major threat to human civilization and is caused primarily by the combustion of fossil fuels; and

Whereas, the City has adopted aggressive carbon emission reduction goals of 30% by 2025 and 80% by 2050, and has an adopted Climate Action Plan that lays out strategies to reach those goals; and

Whereas, buildings account for 71% of greenhouse gas emissions from Minneapolis; and

Whereas, Climate Action Plan includes a strategy to “Require City-financed projects to meet an energy efficiency standard”; and

Whereas, the fossil gas that is used for heating most buildings in Minneapolis is now the city’s single largest source of greenhouse gas emissions, and it is not possible to meet the City’s carbon emission reduction goals without dramatically decreasing reliance on fossil gas for building heating; and

Whereas, the Council adopted a Social Cost of Carbon, based on the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission’s adopted Social Cost of Carbon; and

On behalf of the Policy & Government Oversight Committee, Jenkins offered Resolution 2020R-355 stabilizing the arts and culture services in the City Enterprise so as to elevate, increase, and consolidate the visibility and the effectiveness of the City’s arts and culture services.

The following is the complete text of the unpublished summarized resolution.

RESOLUTION 2020R-355 By Jenkins, Reich, Ellison, and Cano

Stabilizing the arts and culture services in the City Enterprise so as to elevate, increase, and consolidate the visibility and the effectiveness of the City’s arts and culture services.

Whereas, the city recognizes the importance of arts and culture to Minneapolis’ cultural and economic health, the creative sector is an engine of employment for creative workers outpacing job growth in other sectors by 14.4% and supports economic growth in the region with revenues that are 9.2 times greater than the sports sector; and

Whereas, Minneapolis arts and culture contribute to the quality of life, the cultural and social cohesion and vitality of neighborhoods, communities, residents and visitors to Minneapolis; and

Whereas, Minneapolis is known as a vibrant center for arts and culture, is nationally recognized as the center for artistic excellence in the Upper Midwest and is home to a wide variety of innovative artists, arts and cultural communities and institutions embracing all disciplines; and

Whereas, the City Council issued two staff directions in August and November 2019 to the City Coordinator’s office to convene an arts work group and review the enterprise’s body of work and city driven investments in public art, creative economy and creative cultural work for the purposes of better internal alignment and acceleration of the City’s arts and culture policy priorities, strategies and racial equity goals; and

Whereas, the first August 2019 arts work group staff direction was completed, and the second November staff direction was in progress; and

Whereas, since March of 2020 the livelihoods of artists, culture keepers, creative workers and the creative economy has been severely impacted by the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, that resulted in the closure of small neighborhood based arts and cultural organizations, neighborhood festivals, small and large museums, concert halls, theatres, entertainment and event venues; and

Whereas, the second November 2019 staff direction was postponed in order to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic and economic crisis; and

1010

City Council Proceedings – December 4, 2020

Whereas, on May 25, 2020, George Floyd, a 46-year-old unarmed black man, was killed in Minneapolis while being arrested. His death sparked civil unrest in Minneapolis, across the nation and around the world; and

Whereas, in June 2020 the City Council passed a resolution declaring the intent to create a transformative new model for cultivating public safety in Minneapolis; and

Whereas, in July of 2020, the City declared racism a public health emergency; and

Whereas, in August of 2020 the City passed an ordinance designating the geographies of seven cultural districts to advance racial equity, prevent displacement, preserve cultural identity and fuel economic growth; and

Whereas, artists and arts and cultural activities have been at the forefront of providing urgently needed avenues of communication, trauma processing, and relief to BIPOC and non-BIPOC communities continue to be traumatized by the killing of unarmed black men and the COVID-19 pandemic; and provide for communities and neighborhoods effective methods for healing, community engagement, community support and recovery, and communication with government; and

Whereas, the City’s arts and cultural programs in CPED and the City Coordinator’s Office have been instrumental in supporting enterprise priorities critical to the health and safety of its residents through arts-led community engagement and healing to directly serve underserved BIPOC communities and ensure they are included in city decision making processes that impact policies such as police reform, community recovery and rebuilding; and

Whereas, at a time of increased budget constraints the City sees the need to reduce enterprise duplication and redundancies while increasing the coordination, impact and efficiency of city arts and cultural investments and services; and

Whereas, the City also sees the need to elevate the visibility and increase cohesion, stability and effectiveness of arts and culture services within the enterprise at a time of increased community and enterprise demand for these services; and

Whereas, the City recognizes the need to stabilize and grow the City’s current capacity to support public art, the work of arts, culture and the creative economy, and creative cultural work, and synchronize all of the enterprise’s arts related work for efficient and cohesive achievement of the City’s racial equity goals, recovery plans and the successful implementation of the City’s Neighborhoods 2020 policies and Cultural Districts initiative as adopted in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan; and

Whereas, the first step in the stabilization process for arts is to ensure that activities in the office of arts culture and the creative economy are supported by ongoing funding to sustain their work, rather than reliant on grant funding;

Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved by The City Council of The City of Minneapolis:

That the City of Minneapolis shall stabilize the execution and delivery of arts services supporting the health and safety of residents and in order to mitigate racial disparities.

1011

City Council Proceedings – December 4, 2020

Be It Further Resolved that the current grant-funded staff positions in the office of arts culture and the creative economy, which provide important economic and racial equity work and which are set to expire in September of 2021, and are critical to the functioning and delivery of arts and culture services, be transitioned to the City’s general fund.

Be It Further Resolved that the City will continue enterprise progress toward consolidation and further stabilization of all the arts and culture work throughout the enterprise through a timed and phased tactical plan that acknowledges the demand for an increase in arts and culture service levels while also taking into consideration current and future enterprise budget constraints.

Be It Further Resolved that the City will extend the delivery date of the existing November 2019 staff direction, to complete recommendations and implementation of a first phase of an arts and culture stabilization plan in the first quarter of 2021, with additional implementation phases expected through 2022.

Whereas, the Declaration’s preamble says that “recognition of the inherent dignity, and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world,” and also states that “it is essential, if man is not to be compelled to have recourse, as a last resort, to rebellion against tyranny and oppression, that human rights should be protected by the rule of law”; and

Whereas, the Declaration identifies the following rights, identified in this Resolution so that we may all read them and reflect upon how as a society we do and do not uphold and defend these rights in our day to day lives:

Article 1: All people are born free and equal in dignity and in rights.
