Carnival Straughn & Lamb, Chartered.
Councilmember Noecker said she had questions about where the $75,000 was
coming from and whether a ceiling had been set on the predevelopment budget for
the stadium, and she asked for a one week layover to have those questions
answered. Councilmember Tolbert asked if there would be a staff report and whether
the information had been requested from the Office of Financial Services (OFS).
Councilmember Noecker said OFS would brief her prior to the next meeting.
Councilmember Prince said she also had questions she would share with Todd
(Hurley, OFS Director) one of which was that it was dated back to October 2015 and
she was curious as to why the Council was just approving it now. Councilmember
Bostrom questioned whether the action was premature given the City didn't have site
control of the property yet. Council President Stark said it was his understanding that
they had already started work, because there was already budget identified for it, and
this was just a question of acknowledging the agreement, and the timeliness of the
resolution was a valid question.
Councilmember Noecker moved to lay the matter over for one week.

LEGISLATIVE HEARING ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION
City of Saint Paul Page 8
City Council Minutes - Final February 3, 2016
45 RLH TA 15-573 Ratifying the Appealed Special Tax Assessment for Property at 354
HOPE STREET. (File No. J1604A, Assessment No. 168503;
amended to File No. J1604A1, Assessment No. 168520) (Public
hearing continued from February 3)
Legislative Hearing Coordinator Mai Vang said this had been a no-show legislative
hearing, and no one had appeared for the rescheduled hearing. She said the
Legislative Hearing Officer's recommendation was approval of the assessment.
In opposition:
Tenant Denisha Simmons said she had received two notices in the mail stating that
the City had picked up a bed and then some garbage. She said her landlord was
charging her for the charges, but the stuff was never picked up and she removed the
items before the City picked them up. She said she worked from 6:00 a.m to 6:00
p.m. and wasn't able to get off work to attend the legislative hearings, but had taken
time off that day because it was very important to get the issue resolved. Council
President Stark asked whether the items were hers. Ms. Simmons said there was a
twin-sized bed that she'd taken a picture of that day, and an extra garbage container
that hadn't been picked up when the garbage vendor had changed hands and a new
container was dropped off. She said she didn't know what she was expected to do
with a company garbage can. Ms. Vang said there was a video of the clean-up, and
the orders were for clean-up of overflowing containers and bags on the ground. The
video was shown. Ms. Simmons said the garbage man didn't come for two or three
weeks and she didn't know what she was supposed to do with her garbage. She said
if the landlord had received notification he should have let her know, and the old
garbage can should have been removed promptly when the company changed.
Council President Stark asked whether that issue had been resolved. Ms. Simmons
said it had been resolved and the extra garbage container had been picked up, either
by the company or the City. She said she couldn't afford the $500 and was trying to
comply with the City and her landlord but didn't feel she had been at fault.
Councilmember Prince asked that the matter be referred back to Legislative Hearings
and the public hearing continued to March 2. Ms. Simmons said she had a picture of
a twin mattress she had removed herself. She was trying to move by March 31 and
couldn't move if she owed the landlord anything. She asked how soon there could be
another hearing. Ms. Vang said it would go back to Legislative Hearing on February
16 at 9:00 a.m., and the public hearing would be March 2. Ms. Simmons said it was
hard for her to get off work but she was trying to get the days right so she could
attend the hearing.
Councilmember Prince moved to continue the public hearing to March 2. Ms Vang
said Item 46 was for the same address. Ms. Prince said she would take the same
action on that item.
In response to a question from Councilmember Brendmoen, Ms. Vang clarified that
the summary abatement orders went both landlord and property occupant, but the
assessment just went to the owner. Councilmember Brendmoen said this was a
dispute between the landlord and tenant.
Referred to Legislative Hearings on February 16; Council public hearing
continued to March 2

City Council Meeting Agenda February 3, 2016
Council Meeting Information
The City Council is paperless which saves the environment and reduces expenses. The
agendas and Council files are all available on the Web (see below). Councilmembers use
iPads to review the files during the meeting. Using the iPad greatly reduces costs since most
agendas, including the documents attached to files, are over 1000 pages when printed.
Web
Meetings are available on the Council's website. Email notification and web feeds (RSS) of
newly released Minutes, Agendas and Meetings are available by subscription. Please visit
www.stpaul.gov/council for meeting videos and updated copies of the Agendas, Minutes and
supporting documents.
Cable
Meetings are live on St Paul Channel 18 and replayed on: Thursdays at 5:30 p.m., Saturdays at
12:30 p.m., and Sundays at 1:00 p.m. (Subject to change)
