Land Use & Housing Update regarding the proposed development at 2225 E Lake Street
Lisa updated the Board on meetings that had occurred since the last time the Board met and passed action to send a letter to the County regarding concerns around changes in the development plans. Lisa gave a summary of the meeting right after the letter was sent that she and Phillip had attended that included the County staff involved in the development, members of the development team, and representatives from Minneapolis, Hennepin County TOD Office, Metro Transit, and Hennepin County Community Works. They had discussed the concerns outlined in the letter and the core principles for making the site successful. In addition, we also met with Commissioner Peter McLaughlin, Council Member Alondra Cano, Cynthia Frost, Gerry Tyrell, Hennepin County staff, and CNO staff to discuss the concerns outlined in the letter and ensure that we were agreeing on how to address those concerns moving forward. Finally, Lisa summarized a second meeting of the County staff development team and other interested parties that met just that afternoon before the CNO Board meeting. She gave an overview of the revisions that had been made to the development plans in response to Corcoran's concerns and of the plans for next steps around designing the Market plaza and transit plaza components of the site. Overall, she said that recent conversations have been productive and that the development team has been responsive to the concerns presented.
Paul presented the Treasurer's Report. Grant revenue and Individual Contribution revenues are both below budget. Expenses are also below budget, but not enough to offset the revenue shortfall.
An ad hoc group will meet to plan fundraising strategies and activities to meet our individual giving budget for this year. Members include Stacey, Lisa, April, Paul and Eric.

Home Energy Workshop Event Proposal as presented in the Agenda. Motion made (April) and seconded (Oscar) and approved by the Board.
