Minneapolis should add more "meters" around town that accomplish other goals.  One such meter should allow dog owners to pay for the dog permit and the yearly dog park licence.  Sure, there should be a website too but sometimes a visitor from out of town just wants to visit the Minnehaha Off leash dog park for one day.  There should be an option to pay a small fee to let their dog enjoy the park.  Right now, I would assume that there is a very very low rate of compliance because it is never enforced.  Negative enforcement reduces the usage rate for outdoor spaces so it would be better to just install the meter and positively enforce permits by an honor code.

States should create a lottery, where homeowners can pay $1 more on their state taxes to be put into a pool of money.  The winner gets a home renovation that upgrades to code (including amnesty for any work done without a permit) and energy efficiency.  New windows, energy efficient furnace, etc. The program would strengthen the state's housing stock, make living spaces safer, and reduce wasted energy.
A smartphone that's able to be docked at a workstation (two monitors, full keyboard, mouse, and office style phone with headset).  It will keep all of your work information on one physical space- backed up online- but a more convenient size than a surface/chromebook. Hotdesking is going to become more popular in the future, even though employers should not use it as an excuse to reduce the employees home station.
Workplaces need a calendar function for work functions that allows employees to choose available, tentative, or unavailable so they're able to let the company know if they're able to accomplish those specific offsite duties.  If the employees keep their availability up to date, it would make scheduling multi-worker events easier.
