Thank you, President Nephew.

Item number three, resolution two twelve, approving applications for lawful gambling.

Item number four, resolution two thirteen, approving the issuance of various liquor licensees.

Do we have any questions on items three and four?

Seeing none, we will move on to counselor Forsman with personnel.

Thank you, President Nephew.

Resolution 231 confirming appointments and reappointments to City of Duluth Boards and Commissions and Resolution 232 confirming the appointment of members to the Duluth Planning Commission, Transit Authority, and Spirit Mount Recreation Area Authority, if I may.

Yes, go ahead.

Thank you, President Nephew.

So I worked with uh both Clerk Denham as well as Mr.

Dukich on this.

We split this intentionally because the first resolution, uh, those are not boards or commissions that we are going to require interviews for, however, for 232.

Um traditionally, we have had authorities as well as boards like the planning commission and um I guess that's just the only other city one we have on the dock at this time.

We have required interviews in advance of voting, so what I would recommend council do is that we would uh table 232 until we have the interviews, which are currently scheduled for April 9th, I believe.

Is that right, Clerk Denham?

Yep.

And so we will try to pack those five interviews in that night, and then we could vote on it at our next meeting.

So happy to take any questions, but that's the plan.

All right, thank you, Councilor Forsman.

Is there any other questions on that?

Um seeing none.

Uh Planning and Economic Development.

Um item number seven, resolution two oh one.

Resolution calling uh public calling public hearing on the proposed establishment of the orchards of Morgan Park tax increment financing district within the project area number one and the proposed adoption of the tax increment financing plan relating there to as proposed by the housing and redevelopment authority of Duluth, Minnesota.

Um questions on that, or actually, I'm gonna ask Director Van Tassel to come up.

I know there's some confusion on the attachments, and I'm wondering if you can give clarification and just some further explanations on this.

Council President Nephew, yes, we are um uh taking a look at those attachments, making sure uh we have the right ones on there.

I think we had a duplication issue.

Uh just to give a brief overview of of what this is.

Um it it is merely the announcement and the calling for a public hearing um of this TIFF district later in April.

At that time, you will also see the uh the details of the TIFF TIFF plan and district um come forward in a separate resolution.

So whenever uh the HRA establishes uh TIFF district, we go through this kind of this extra process to call for that public hearing.

So that's that's what this item does tonight is call for the hearing.

More details will come uh at that meeting in April.

So I do have a quick question and I'll move on to others.

Um I know Counselor Kennedy, who cannot be here tonight, her question was um the same as mine.

There's one map that shows an outline of the entire city of Duluth, and then there is also the platted with the orchards.

Um I know I said on HRA, and I do know that the plat that's there, but can you explain why the entire map of the city of Duluth was included in that?

Uh President Nephew, I believe uh the map of the entire city of Duluth was supposed to have a call out of where the orchard is located within the city, simply so people could locate it within the city uh out in Morgan Park.

So we'll go we'll we'll figure out that attachment and label it correctly.

All right, thank you.

Uh Counselor Derwachter Oh uh thank you, President Nephew.

I I actually just want to pull items 231 and 232 from consent.

Okay.

All right, thank you.

Are there any other questions on item number seven?

Um I do know that that one also is going to be pulled by um counselor Kennedy.

So pull resolution 201 as well.

Um next we go on to public works and utilities.

Counselor Randorf, would you mind reading in for Counselor Desatel?

I sure can.

Thank you, um President Nephew.
