The Community Development Committee of the Minneapolis City Council will conduct a public hearing on Tuesday, July 29, 2003, at 1:30 p.m., in Room 317, City Hall, 350 S 5th St, to consider a proposed ordinance that would create a new department of Community Planning and Economic Development (CPED). The new department would include the current Minneapolis Community Development Agency (MCDA), Planning Department, Minneapolis Employment and Training Program (METP), and the Minneapolis Empowerment Zone (EZ). Creation of this department was authorized in a special law that was recently adopted by the State of Minnesota and this is the next organizational step in the ongoing improvement of the city's development process known as Focus Minneapolis.
The proposed ordinance can be viewed here: http://www.mcda.org/policies_reports/Policies/cped_ordinance.htm Written copies are available from Julie Bartell at 612-673-2296. Questions about the ordinance can be directed to Jeff Schneider, CPED senior project manager, at 612-673-5124. For sign language interpreting, call 612-673-2626 TTY.
