A new initiative sponsored by the Department of Regulatory Services in partnership with neighborhood associations and participating businesses throughout the city.
The City wants to partner with residents, neighborhood associations and local businesses to help make our neighborhoods a safe and clean place to live. Starting October 15, inspectors from the Department of Regulatory Services will be going out into your neighborhood, with a special focus on vacant properties or properties with repeated nuisance violations. ...
Do your part to tidy up your yards and alleys by:
• Picking up and removing rubbish, old tires, and litter in yards & alleys.
• Trimming bushes and trees that hang into the alley, sidewalk or street.
• Removing volunteer trees and bushes from alleys and around the foundations of buildings.
• Removing inoperable vehicles from your property (including unlicensed vehicles) or storing them in an enclosed garage.
This is all part of our “All Together Now!” neighborhood fall yard cleanup pilot initiative we hope to extend throughout the city in the future. By taking care of your property now, you’ll not only make the neighborhood a better place, but City inspectors won’t have to follow up with any written orders.
How we can help:
We’ve contacted a number of local businesses who agreed to provide discounts on things that will help you spruce up your property as part of the cleanup. Visit our website at www.minneapolismn.gov/
So go out and check your property for any improvements that need to be done before we come through and issue orders. If you do get an order from the city, take in your order to a participating business and get a discount on supplies that will help you correct it before a reinspection.
This is your chance to make a difference in the city by improving your neighborhood – join in, help a neighbor, and let’s work All Together Now!
Because Kris Brogan needs her face in the news she chose to post the following statement, keep in mind she also chose to not cut and past, or even give credit to its original author- the reason this is important we will explain after you read her post:
Kris Brogan:
As you can see in the original letter or post by Regulatory Services, they state they will do a " special focus on vacant properties or properties with repeated nuisance violations" yet Kris Brogan chose to leave this part out! She also left out this part, "We’ve contacted a number of local businesses who agreed to provide discounts on things that will help you spruce up your property as part of the cleanup. Visit our website at www.minneapolismn.gov/ regservices for a list of businesses who have agreed to provide you with a discount on home improvement supplies if you show them one of our letters or orders, including this one, or call 311 or 612.673.3000 for a list of resources and participating businesses near you. Check back on the website as we’ll be adding businesses to the list every time they make a commitment to help their communities by participating in this initiative." These very important pieces of the puzzle got left out of Kris Brogans message we believe so she could stir up fear and also resentment of the city- aka the current city council person!
You see if Kris Brogan can make the voting public think there is a problem with city services she can then not only get them to vote for her but once in office Kris could make those same people believe she fixed a problem that never was! On every North Minneapolis FB page we read there are always complaints about mattresses, garbage, over grown lots, trash blowing around lots and on and on it goes! Now the Regulatory Services has come up with a plan of action, they even refer to it as "a pilot program" in their statement, to clean things up and make it as easy on home owners as possible and STILL Kris Brogan stirs the pot and makes it out to be a bad thing!
If your not convinced Kris Brogan wanted to stir the pot, or that her post was a negative thing please take a look at how quickly and negatively the Kris Brogan Gang jumped on board with their sly yet negative remarks! We have posted a few below.

As we said, its clear from the start that Kris Brogan saw an opportunity to make this about her and to make Regulative Services the bad guy- Kris does not post this as a community announcement or as a member of the ViNa board, she does not post it as an FYI from the ViNa board, she simply posts it as facts and then leaves out the important wording that would have told people that this was a very good thing coming to North Minneapolis, this was the very thing even Duane Atter has complained about on FB posts that contain complaints about how slow Regulatory Services were to help clean up the north side but now he wants us to believe its about making money-evil- bad- negative!
Its clear Kris Brogan does not have a platform to stand on in this election so she is going to run on fear and when the opportunity presents its self she will twist the good deeds to make them work for her and silly followers like Duane will mossy closely behind Kris Brogan like a calf to slaughter!
