New Council Chair has
broad, deep experience
An East Metro leader who has been
involved in local and state politics,
transit planning and several area
nonprofits is the new chair of the
Metropolitan Council.
Governor Tim Walz appointed
Maplewood Mayor Nora Slawik to
lead the Council.
Nora Slawik Slawik, 56, served as Maplewood's
mayor since 2014. While in that role,
was sworn in as Chair she helped lead planning efforts for
of the Metropolitan two planned bus rapid transit lines
Council on January 9. — the METRO Gold Line and the
Rush Line. She is also a former member of the Council's
Transportation Advisory Board. As mayor she led the
city's economic redevelopment to expand affordable
and market -rate housing.
She previously served for seven terms in the Minnesota
Legislature, representing portions of Ramsey and
Washington counties.
Slawik has worked for a variety of nonprofits in the
region, such as the Autism Society of Minnesota.
She holds a Master of Public Affairs degree from the
Humphrey School at the University of Minnesota and
a Bachelor of Science degree in Parks and Recreation
Management from Arizona State University.
"The single best way to position our region as a place
where everyone can succeed is to make strategic
and equitable investments in the foundational water,
transportation, parks, and housing policy areas the
Council is charged with advancing," Slawik said. "I look
forward to the opportunity to create and strengthen the
work and partnerships that will position our region to
prosper as a place where everyone can reach their full
potential."
State law requires Slawik to resign her post as a local
elected official to serve on the Council.
Nominating Committee
to screen applicants
Governor Tim Walz and Lt. Governor Peggy Flanagan
named a Nominating Committee to sift through
applications for 16 open seats on the Metropolitan
Council, hold interviews for selected applicants
and make recommendations to the governor. The
administration expanded the traditionally 7 -member
committee to 12, to include four ex -officio community
members and the Council Chair.
Committee members include:
Janet Williams, Mayor of Savage, representing
Scott County, Chair of the Nominating Committee
Dave Bartholomay, Mayor of Circle Pines,
representing Anoka County
Randy Maluchnik, County Commissioner,
representing Carver County
George Tourville, Mayor of Inver Grove Heights,
representing Dakota County
Andrea Jenkins, Minneapolis City Council Vice
President, representing Hennepin County
John Choi, County Attorney, representing
Ramsey County
Lisa Weik, County Commissioner, representing
Washington County
Ex -officio committee members include:
Nora Slawik, Metropolitan Council Chair
Nikki Villavicencio, Disability Rights Advocate
• Pahoua Hoffman, Executive Director of the
Citizens League
Dr. Joe Hobot, President and CEO of
American Indian OIC
Ruby Azurdia-Lee, President of Comunidades
Latinas Unitas En Servico (CLUES)
Applicants selected by the Nominating Committee for
an interview will appear at one in a series of four public
meetings scheduled for Jan. 29, Jan. 30, Feb. 12 and
Feb. 13. Check metrocouncil.org for details.
The application period closed on Jan. 9. Walz requested
that the committee publicly forward three candidates for
each Council district by Feb. 18. State law requires the
members be sworn in by March 6. _
Orange Line to receive full federal funding
The Federal Transit Administration
(FTA) has announced it will fully fund
the federal share of $74.1 million for the
METRO Orange Line Bus Rapid Transit
project, a 17 -mile transitway planned
for the region's busiest express bus
corridor.
The $150.7 million project has now
secured all funding and can move into
the final stage of construction. The
Orange Line will connect Minneapolis,
Richfield, Bloomington, and Burnsville
along 1-35W, providing frequent, all -day
service in both directions, seven days
a week.
As a part of the METRO system, the
Orange Line will connect people across
the region to job centers, including
major corridor employers like Best Buy,
HealthPartners, Allina, Wells Fargo, and
Toro. The route is an upgrade and will
replace the existing local Route 535
with enhanced service and amenities,
and new station features will benefit
other transit riders along the 1-35W
corridor. Today, this corridor sees
14,000 daily transit rides and over
200,000 auto vehicles.
The Orange Line will provide access to
198,000 jobs and 121,000 residents,
including 56,000 jobs outside of
downtown Minneapolis.
Construction on the project is already
underway, in coordination with MnDOT
projects. The construction began in
2017 after the FTA issued a Letter of
No Prejudice approval for the joint
MnDOT construction, ahead of the
full federal funding commitment. This
process is the same process the
Southwest LRT project is using to
enter construction this winter, ahead
of receiving the full federal funding
commitment.

Council grants promote affordable housing, jobs
late 2018, the Council awarded Livable
Communities grants to 11 cities and 1
multi -city land trust to support creation
®of affordable housing and economic
development opportunities.
The Council awarded $2.5 million total to seven affordable
housing developments in the cities of Coon Rapids, Inver
Grove Heights, Maplewood, Minneapolis, Saint Paul and
the Hennepin Affordable Housing Land Trust communities.
The grants will help create and preserve more than 250
affordable homes and leverage $82 million in other public
and private investment.
"The best way to lift up our communities is to ensure that all
residents, all families have the security of a home that's safe
and affordable, where they and their loved ones can thrive
and prosper," said Lisa Barajas, Director of the Council's
Community Development Division.
Nearly 850 new homes — including 335 that are affordable
to families with low and moderate incomes — will result from
$9.6 million in grant awards the Council made to six cities.
The funds will support nine development projects that link
housing, jobs and services, and demonstrate efficient and
cost-effective use of land and infrastructure.
These grants are expected to help create 1,117 jobs,
including 332 that are permanent living -wage jobs, and
leverage $244 million in other public and private investment.
Brooklyn Park, Eden Prairie, Minneapolis, Richfield, Saint
Paul and St. Louis Park received awards.
Among the projects is the Minneapolis Apprenticeship and
Training Center, which will focus on preparing students,
youth and adult, for careers in clean energy, water systems
and other technical construction fields.
The Council also awarded nearly half a million dollars to
help local communities plan for development around future
transit lines and other predevelopment activities. Brooklyn
Center, Burnsville, Minneapolis and Saint Paul received
awards.
Council to acquire wastewater plant in Rogers
The regional wastewater treatment system has made it
possible for the metro area to grow and develop while
helping to improve water quality in area lakes and rivers and
protecting public health. Planning is now underway to add a
ninth wastewater treatment plant to the regional system to
accommodate growth in the northwest metro.
Following a public hearing on Jan. 14, and Council review
and approval in February, the Council would acquire the
wastewater treatment plant in Rogers.
The Council expects to operate the plant for about 10 years
then decommission the facility after building a new plant at
the western border of Hennepin County. Initially, the new
Crow River plant will have the capacity to treat about three
million gallons of wastewater a day, serving Rogers and the
cities of Corcoran and Dayton.
While discussions about expanding sewer capacity in the
area started more than a decade ago, the City of Rogers,
in October 2018, formally asked the Council to acquire
the 60 -year-old plant, citing local growth and needed
investment in the plant to meet regulatory requirements.
The Council's charges to communities for collecting and
treating their wastewater are among the lowest in the
country compared with similar -sized systems.
The Council will take public comments on the proposal
through 5 p.m. Jan. 24, 2019. They can be directed to Anna.
