Minneapolis, MN 55455 Office: 612-625-5345 Fax: 612-624-6345 March 2017 This University of Minnesota Fiscal Year Lease Report documents the University's real estate leasing activity during Fiscal Year 2016 (July 1, 2015 – June 30, 2016). Approximately 4,906 leases and easements involving the University as landlord or tenant, including the PUF leases, were in existence during the fiscal year and are included in this report. During Fiscal Year 2016, the total cost of 408 long-term leases, providing for the University’s use of 806,143 square feet (SF) of building space plus numerous apartments which are not measured, and 2,657 acres of land, air-rights and subsurface rights, plus 490 short-term use agreements, was approximately $21 million. This compares to 386 long-term leases and 1288 short-term use agreements in existence during Fiscal Year 2015 covering 799,117 SF and 2,113 acres at an approximate total cost of $19.6 million. The University’s total leased building space in Fiscal Year 2016 was relatively unchanged as it only increased by 7,026 SF. Leased space in Minneapolis decreased by approximately 14,200 SF and the amount of leased space outside of the MSP Metro Area (for the outstate campuses and other facilities) increased by approximately 20,000 SF. Included in the additional square footage of outstate leases was a new lease for 7,756 SF of office space for the University of Minnesota Rochester (UMR), which relocated to 309 South Broadway (L-9156). The University entered into the new lease for UMR to replace space being vacated in Fiscal Year 17 at 102 South Broadway (L-8111) because the lease was expiring. The number of leases, short term agreements and easements involving the use of University real estate by others during Fiscal Year 2016 totaled 4,008. This compares to 3,846 in Fiscal Year 2015. Funds 1000, 1026 and 1020-1150, except 1030, (General Operations and Maintenance, Miscellaneous, Other-Unrestricted), provided approximately $15.8 million, or 88%, of the University’s $17.9 million total cost for long-term rental facilities during Fiscal Year 2016. Funds 3000-3014 (Sponsored Research-Restricted) provided $296,000 for leased real estate during Fiscal Year 2016, or 2%. Other-Restricted funds provided $1.82 million or 10% of the total expended for the University’s use of real estate owned by others during the past fiscal year. This Fiscal Year 2016 lease report reflects the number of square feet leased as of June 30, 2016, or as of the termination date if the lease terminated during the fiscal year prior to June 30, 2016. The rents reported in this document reflect rents paid (leases and other agreements involving the University as tenant) and rents received (leases and other agreements involving the University as landlord) attributable to Fiscal Year 2016. Occupants identified are those housed in the leased premises at the end of the fiscal year (or at the end of the lease if the lease terminated during the fiscal year). Occupants of certain leased facilities may have changed since June 30, 2016. Several internal leases for the University’s use of University space that are managed through the Real Estate Office are included in this report. Questions and comments concerning this document are welcome and should be directed to me at 612/626-9402 or [email protected].

In 1883, the Minneapolis Mill Company hired William de la Barre as an engineer and agent for the waterpower works. A number of the mills had installed auxiliary steam engines to supplement the waterpower. Meanwhile De la Barre proposed to solve the waterpower problem by increasing the head and fall available. Working on the West Side canal (Minnesota Historical Society) According to Kane, “De la Barre undertook to deepen the canal and lower the tailraces under his jurisdiction, while the millers promised to lower their wheel pits, tailraces, and headraces. Before the year ended, De la Barre had deepened the canal from 14 to 20 feet and lengthened it from 600 to 950 feet. The expansion increased its flowage capacity from 30 to 40 per cent and raised the water level to produce more power by bring water to the lessees’ wheels at a greater head.

  • Minnesota Emergency Alert System Statewide Plan 2018
    Minnesota Emergency Alert System Statewide Plan 2018 MINNESOTA EAS STATEWIDE PLAN Revision 10 Basic Plan 01/31/2019 I. REASON FOR PLAN The State of Minnesota is subject to major emergencies and disasters, natural, technological and criminal, which can pose a significant threat to the health and safety of the public. The ability to provide citizens with timely emergency information is a priority of emergency managers statewide. The Emergency Alert System (EAS) was developed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to provide emergency information to the public via television, radio, cable systems and wire line providers. The Integrated Public Alert and Warning System, (IPAWS) was created by FEMA to aid in the distribution of emergency messaging to the public via the internet and mobile devices. It is intended that the EAS combined with IPAWS be capable of alerting the general public reliably and effectively. This plan was written to explain who can originate EAS alerts and how and under what circumstances these alerts are distributed via the EAS and IPAWS. II. PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES OF PLAN A. Purpose When emergencies and disasters occur, rapid and effective dissemination of essential information can significantly help to reduce loss of life and property. The EAS and IPAWS were designed to provide this type of information. However; these systems will only work through a coordinated effort. The purpose of this plan is to establish a standardized, integrated EAS & IPAWS communications protocol capable of facilitating the rapid dissemination of emergency information to the public. B. Objectives 1. Describe the EAS administrative structure within Minnesota. (See Section V) 2.

Minneapolis, MN 55455 Office: 612-625-5345 Fax: 612-624-6345 February 2018 This University of Minnesota Fiscal Year Lease Report documents the University's real estate leasing activity during Fiscal Year 2017 (July 1, 2016 – June 30, 2017). Approximately 4,075 leases and easements involving the University as landlord or tenant, including the PUF leases, were in existence during the fiscal year and are included in this report. During Fiscal Year 2017, the total cost of 376 long-term leases, providing for the University’s use of 772,479 square feet (SF) of building space plus numerous apartments which are not measured, and 2,299 acres of land, air-rights and subsurface rights, plus 425 short-term use agreements, was approximately $20.3 million. This compares to 408 long-term leases and 490 short- term use agreements in existence during Fiscal Year 2016 covering 806,143 SF and 2,657 acres at an approximate total cost of $21 million. The University’s total leased building space in Fiscal Year 2017 was relatively unchanged from the previous year as there were no significant new lease transactions that occurred.

It was believed that diplomacy was not the exclusive domain of professional diplomats, but that all walks of society could be involved in international relations. After its founding, MIC evolved from direct service into a multifaceted nonpartisan organization with a mission to promote international understanding and engagement through globally-focused educational opportunities for Minnesota residents of all ages. In March 2016, MIC was rebranded as Global Minnesota to better reflect who it is, what it does, and the dynamic and culturally-diverse state it serves. In 2017, Global Minnesota reached more than 6,000 people through public events, created more than 3,600 hours of meaningful cross-cultural interactions in elementary classrooms across the state, and welcomed nearly 500 international visitors to Minnesota.
