Every year at the Waite Park Fall Festival I table with a budget activity where people can vote on what I should prioritize for the budget. Each person gets 3 beads they can put in any of the jars as they see fit (all 3 in 1 jar, 1 in 3 different jars, etc.). Here are the results we got on Saturday.

Waite park fall festival
Invest in social housing 103

We have to do more to interrupt these cycles of violence. My thoughts are with the families of the deceased, those still recovering from their injuries including our Minneapolis police officers injured responding to the scene, and all those in the building and neighborhood impacted by this tragedy.

The shooting at Shoreline Plaza apartments is a tragedy. Multiple community members were killed & more were shot including Minneapolis police officers. Our community has been through so much & this violence only adds to the trauma so many have experienced content.govdelivery.com/bulletins/gd...

I'm proud that this amendment passed unanimously and am very grateful to the neighbors of the Cook house and other community members who helped draft and advocate for this amendment which will help prevent this situation from happening in the future.

261

Elliott Payne - Minneapolis Ward 1 @ward1.minneapolismn.gov · 20/11/2025

We've seen this issue with the Cook house where the property not being secured and weathertight has led to the further deterioration of the building.

141

Elliott Payne - Minneapolis Ward 1 @ward1.minneapolismn.gov · 20/11/2025

We also took up the Heritage preservation regulations ordinance today. I offered an amendment that requires all historic buildings to be secured and weathertight.

131

Elliott Payne - Minneapolis Ward 1 @ward1.minneapolismn.gov · 20/11/2025

The owner would need to come back to the City Council and gain approval to demolish the property at any point in the future. This is a good solution today that will allow us all to work to support the community effort to buy the property and restore it.

141

Elliott Payne - Minneapolis Ward 1 @ward1.minneapolismn.gov · 20/11/2025

During the next 6 months the owner of the property will work to sell it to a buyer who intends to restore the house and in the meantime is still required to maintain the property. At the end of this period if the property is still not sold, it still does not mean that the building can be demolished.

141

Elliott Payne - Minneapolis Ward 1 @ward1.minneapolismn.gov · 20/11/2025

The City Council just took action on the historic Cook house on 18th Ave Ne. We referred the appeal asking to demolish the property back to staff which ensures that no demolition can occur for the next 6 months.

I was proud to be an author on the resolution the City Council passed earlier this year to rename the bridge in her honor. It was so great to spend the morning honoring her with her family and so many people she worked with over the years.

Elliott Payne - Minneapolis Ward 1 @ward1.minneapolismn.gov · 01/10/2025

Today was the bridge dedication to rename the 10th Ave bridge for Senate Majority Leader Kari Dziedzic. Senator Dziedzic is deeply missed and we are all so grateful for everything she did serving our community.

Thanks to the swift response from MPS and our 2nd precinct team and I’m sorry to all the students and families that this is a reality we have to deal with in our country.

This was out of an abundance of caution. The situation is now resolved without incident and squads have begun leaving the scene.
