So
you
know
I,
don't
know
we
will.
We
may
come
back
after
the
election
I
cure.
A
J
G
Thank
you
and
a
you've
been
a
great
board
member.
So,
as
the
mayor
said,
my
name
is
Elizabeth
way.
Full
and
I
am
one
of
the
attorney
lobbyists
with
the
coalition
of
Greater
Minnesota
cities
and
every
summer
we
come
out
and
visit
our
members
right
now.
Actually
you
know
I've
been
doing
this
for
about
a
decade.
G
You
know
normally
I
would
stand
up
here.
Tell
you
about
all
the
things
we
were
planning
to
do
this
session
and
then
tell
you
how
we
got
them
done,
but
let
me
tell
you:
the
pandemic
really
has
shared
it
shattered
our
expectations
and
shifted.
Our
workload
went
into
session
was
gonna,
be
short
session,
big
budget
surplus.
You
know
how
do
we
give
that
back
with
taxes
and
spending
and
you
know
and
a
bonding
bill,
but
the
reality
was.
G
Is
that
the
you
know
we
had
a
session
where
there
was
no
in-person
legislative
meetings
to
special
sessions
and
counting
a
surplus
became
a
deficit?
There
is
the
battle
over
the
apportionment
of
federal
aid,
civil
unrest
and
police.
Si
reforms
have
taken
center
stage
at
the
capital
battle,
lines
have
been
drawn
over
the
executive
powers
and
the
bonding
bill
is
still
tied
up
and
when
I
say
still
tie
up.
I
mean
literally
on
the
House
floor.
As
we
speak,.
G
See
yourself
in
the
audience,
but
remember
back
to
March
11th.
That
was
the
legislative
action
day.
It
really
was
the
last
normal
day
of
session.
The
we
didn't
know
it
then,
but
the
ctmc
was
one
of
the
last
organizations
that
was
able
to
hold
a
legislative
day
and
go
in
and
talk
to
legislators,
because
by
that
Friday
things
started
shutting
down
and
by
that
Monday
they
had
basically
gone
into
hiatus
goals.
K
G
Pre
kovat,
our
goals
were
pretty
simple.
We
wanted
a
bonding
bill
of
at
least
1.5
billion
dollars.
We
wanted
to
try
and
do
some
inflation
and
population
growth
changes
on
LGA,
build
on
our
child
care
progress
and
advance
some
strategies
on
keifa's
chemicals
after
kovat.
Those
goals
shifted
again
large
bonding
bills
still
important,
but
wanted
to
make
sure
that
there
was
care
Zack's
support
for
our
local
governments,
try
to
deal
with
the
new
and
exacerbated
child
care.
Our
challenges
make
sure
that
small
businesses
were
getting
grants
and
work
proactively
to
protect
LGA.
G
Another
thing
we
didn't
I
had
mentioned,
you
know
the
labor
and
employment
work.
You
know
we
kind
of
actually
are
our
labor
and
employment
team
really
stepped
up
along
with
our
environmental
and
other
attorneys,
and
really,
you
know,
provide
a
lot
of
resources
for
our
people.
Hosted
seminars
sent
multiple
informational
emails
created
a
website
hosted
a
webinar
on
the
state
budget
surveyed
city
leaders
about
what
their
top
concerns
were.
Increased
production
of
our
CG
MC
and
briefed
to
twice
a
week
and
also
hosted
a
zoom
meeting
with
governor
Rawls
to
talk
about
the
pandemic.
G
But
let's
talk
about
the
first
thing
we
really
worked
on.
The
care
is
act,
and
most
of
you
are
probably
familiar
with
it.
Beau
was
created
through
the
federal
coroner
virus
relief
fund
and
it
provided
payments
to
state
local
and
tribal
governments
for
dealing
with
the
impact
of
the
Cova
19
epidemic
need
a
little
bit
about
the
timeline.
You
know
the
the
act
itself
passed
in
late
March
and
early
April
couple
weeks
later
in
Minnesota
received
1.8
billion
dollars.
G
Challenge
was
is
that
the
federal
government
gave
very
very
vague
guidance
on
how
that
was
supposed
to
be
distributed
to
local
governments.
So
you
know
not.
Our
organization
has
never
won
to
take
things
lying
down,
so
you
know
we
worked
in
and
pushed
forward
with
some
of
the
other
local
government
groups
to
meet
with
the
Department
of
Revenue
and
legislative
leaders
to
discuss
how
it
should
be
distributed
to
our
communities,
and
you
know
in
a
special
it
didn't
happen
during
the
regular
Spence.
G
It
ended
up
okay
for
us
because
at
the
end
of
June,
the
governor
did
distribute
it
according
to
that
formula
that
we
came
up
with,
and
we
were
very
happy
that
that
formula
stuck
because
it
did
provide
you
know
funding
to
our
communities
right
here.
What
you'll
see
is
basically
how
the
cares
Act
was
distributed
and
in
what
would
have
happened
with
Austin
under
various
scenarios
in
the
house
regular
session,
the
house
proposed
of
a
you
know,
formula
that
not
allowed
went
to
our
cities.
G
The
Senate
actually
put
a
lot
more
towards
the
cities
and
the
compromise
you
know,
as
often
happens,
is
in
between,
but
it
resulted
in
about.
You
know
a
little
over
1.9
million
for
the
City
of
Austin,
and
that
was
again
what
was
would
it
happen
in
special
session,
but
you
know
eventually,
that's
what's
getting
distributed
and
if
you're
wondering
why
it
kind
of
ducked
down
from
the
Senate
formula.
Basically,
what
happened
was
is
this?
G
The
Senate
proposal
was
a
lot
more
focused
on
cities
and
there
was
more
of
a
focus
on
counties
and
some
of
the
other
formulas,
so
kind
of
balanced
that
out
I
do
before
moving
on
to
our
next
half
I
want
to
just
tell
you
that
there
are.
You
know
it's
a
little
confusing
what
to
do
with
the
care
resources.
Minnesota
Department
of
Revenue
US
Department
of
Revenue
have
all
good
resources
out
there.
G
And
you
know
this
was
our
goal
at
the
beginning
of
session,
but
the
importance
of
this
became
even
more
clear
as
the
pandemic
sort
of
came
to
the
forefront,
because
bonding
is
really
one
of
the
few
sort
of
pure
stimulus,
kind
of
things
that
our
government
can
do,
and
we
think
it
was
really
important
to
try
and
get
something
passed
to
meet.
You
know
the
needs
of
our
communities
like
Austin.
G
We
are
very,
very
engaged
in
you,
know,
from
the
get-go
on
really
pushing
hard
for
a
large
bail
in
the
bonding
doors
in
the
fall.
We
held
a
press
conference
right
at
the
beginning
of
session.
Our
legislative
action
made
bonding
was
a
key
focus.
You
know
when,
as
soon
as
things
started,
closing
up
a
little
bit,
we
put
a
letter
out
there
calling,
for
you
know,
bonding
to
be
mission-critical
just
a
lot
of
different
things:
press
conferences,
letters
editorials
that
kept
going
and
continued
to
keep
going.
G
Unfortunately,
we
still
haven't
seen
a
bonding
bill.
Yet
there's
been
some
movement
back
and
forth
this
morning,
representative
daudt
said
that
they
were
not
going
to
be
passing
a
bonding
bill
today,
so
unless
things
changed,
while
I
was
driving
down
here,
somewhat
skeptical
that
it
will
happen
this
session,
we
are
going
to
continue
to
push
on
this
because
we
do
think
it
is
one
of
the
most
important
things
that
the
state
needs
to
do
and
that
they
really
just
need
to
come
together.
G
G
There
was
a
bonding
bill
unveiled
last
week.
It
was
1.35
billion
again
with
money
for
our
top
priorities,
except
for
child
care
facilities,
but
this
legislation
has
really
become
tied
to
other
issues
and
that's
why
we
haven't
seen
passage
yet.
We
will
continue
to
try
and
push
for
passage
of
this,
because
it
is
that
important,
but,
as
of
you
know,
right
now,
5:30
no
bonding
bill.
G
Yet
sorry,
now
a
complete
topic
change
to
purr
and
Polly
floral
alkyl
substances-
I'm,
not
gonna,
have
a
spelling
test
on
that
for
you
later,
but
I
can
say
it
because
I've
been
spending
an
inordinate
amount
of
time.
Working
on
this
issue
is
the
environmental
lawyer,
but
what
PFS
are
are
they're
they're
they're
are
forever
chemicals
and
it's
kind
of
the
stuff.
You
know
that
that
makes
your
your
pots,
you
know
not
stick
and
it's
on
the
microwave
popcorn
bags
and
a
whole.
You
know
firefighting
foam.
G
It's
a
lot
of
different
products
problem
is:
is
that
the
ones
that
chemicals
out
there
it
sticks
around
for
it's
showing
up
in
water
all
over
the
place
and
removing
from
drinking
waters
is
expensive?
Sorry,
you
nose
member
city,
but
Bemidji
is
experiencing
that
right
now.
The
bigger
challenge
is,
if
you
have
it
in
your
wastewater
at
too
high
of
amounts,
it's
not
technologically
feasible
right
now
to
remove
it
from
wastewater,
and
you
know
we
became
recognizing
that
last
year.
G
As
you
know,
our
wastewater
operators
from
across
the
state
kind
of
said,
hey
I'm,
starting
to
get
worried
about
this,
because
people
are
talking
about
it
and
we
can't
get
it
out
of
our
water
if
it's
there.
So
we
actually
decided
to
be
proactive
about
this
and
put
together
a
proactive
strategy
that
we
called
the
municipal
source
reduction
initiative.
G
We
called
up
the
leak
to
get
them
to
partner
with
us
on
this
and
created
a
three
pronged
approach,
identify
the
main
sources,
identify
how
to
reduce
it
in
wastewater
and
try
to
educate
wastewater
professionals
and
the
public
about
ways
to
prevent
it.
From
entering
the
wastewater
stream,
we
asked
for
$500,000
for
this
initiative,
but
you
know
like
many
activities
seeking
money
this
year
or
kind
of
once
the
pandemic
hit,
and
it
became
clear
what
was
going
to
happen
to
the
state
budget.
It
just
wasn't.
G
We
weren't
gonna
get
a
lot
of
or
any
money
for
it.
It
wasn't
the
only
pee
Foss
field
we
spent
a
lot
of
time
on
I,
actually
spent
a
lot
of
time
on
bills
that
were
not
good
and
in
your
packet
that
you
should
have
received
electronically
plus
I'm,
leaving
paper
copies,
there's
a
full-page
description
of
all
of
our
environmental
bills
and
information
on
pee
fuss.
G
So
it
is
something
that
we
know
will
be
continued
to
be
an
issue,
so
it
will
be
a
top
environmental
priority
for
2021,
and
if
you
have
questions
you
can
call
me
about
it
childcare.
This
has
become
a
top
priority
over
the
last
several
years
and
going
into
the
session
we
had
great
helps.
We
had
two
main
priorities:
trying
to
get
money
for
childcare
grants,
as
well
as
for
the
initiative
foundations,
but
the
you
know
we
weren't
the
only
ones
pushing
for
this.
G
G
This
talks
a
little
bit
about
you
know
how
I
reacted
during
this
or
excuse
me
how
the
state
reacted.
During
this,
they
did
allocate
emergency
funds
to
child
care
providers
with
a
big
chunk
of
that
in
Greater
Minnesota.
Not
a
lot
happened.
You
know,
after
that,
in
the
regular
session,
but
special
session,
where
you
know
their
money
puts
you
on
through
federal
funds
to
increase
the
see
cap
rates.
G
Additional
emergency
funds
were
put
forward
for
child
care
providers,
but
we're
still
not
sure,
what's
gonna
happen
next,
and
this
is
gonna
be
an
issue
and
it
is
something
we
are
gonna
continue
to
work
on,
because
it
really
is
an
acute
problem
in
Greater
Minnesota,
but
that
40,000,
you
know
child
care
slot.
A
deficit
that's
out,
there
is
expected
to
grow.
So
again,
it's
going
to
be
an
important
issue
for
us.
G
You
know
those
weren't,
the
only
issues
that
we
worked
on,
but
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
like
housing,
transportation
and
other
things
like
that
that
we
tried
to
work
on
again.
Just
those
priorities
changed
and
we'll
you
know
we'll
be
back
and
next
you're
talking
about
what
we're
doing
on
those,
but
you
know
had
to
adjust
to
the
times.
G
But
if
you
have
more
questions
about
them,
a
lot
of
details
are
in
the
report,
but
looking
ahead
for
the
rest
of
the
year
state
budget,
you
know
the
state
took
the
unusual
step
of
doing
you
know
or
excuse
me,
the
normal
step.
Was
they
get
a
state
budgets
forecast
in
February
one
point:
five
billion
dollar
surplus.
B
G
Okay
in
in
May,
the
state
took
the
unprecedented
step
of
issuing
a
budget
projection
that
doesn't
typically
happen
and
it
showed
a
2.4
billion
dollar
deficit
and
almost
immediately
because
we
think
it's
important.
We
sent
a
letter
to
the
governor
and
the
legislature
and
issued
a
press
release
calling
for
LGA
to
be
paid
on
time
and
in
full.
Remember
that
phrase,
because
that's
gonna
be
really
important
over
the
next
year
on
time
and
in
full.
G
In
fact,
we
know
we
did
get
attention
because
the
governor's
press
conference
that
day
he
actually
got
asked
about
our
letter.
One
of
the
press
corps.
We
are
anticipating
another
updated
budget
projection,
it
might
be
August,
it
might
be
September,
but
we
are
expecting
something
of
that
to
happen
as
we
get
a
better
picture
of.
What's
going
on
as
a
result
of
the
pandemic.
G
With
respect
to
the
state
budget,
there's
a
couple
different
options
that
the
state
could
be
taking
to
address.
You
know
they
may
decide
to
deal
with
the
budget
deficit
during
an
upcoming
special
session.
They
may
decide
to
wait
until
a
regular
session
in
2021,
or
we
could
be
looking
at
a
scenario
for
those
of
you
who
were
here.
You
know
a
decade
ago.
It
could
be
a
situation
where
the
governor's
looking
at
using
the
unaligned
powers,
but
I
can
tell
you
that's
through
all
of
that
and
no
matter
what
scenario
we're
looking
at.
G
A
G
Yeah
it
is
it's
a
huge.
It
is
a
huge
bribery.
This
graph
is
just
kind
of
a
reminder
if
you
know
what
that
looks
like
with
the
2020
and
2021
LGA.
As
you
may
remember,
last
session,
we
are
able
to
push
through
another
increase
to
LGA.
Finally,
getting
it
back
up
to
that
2002
level,
and
there
is
a
slight
increase
this
year
due
to
the
way
they
staggered
the
increase.
G
So
that's
like
about
I,
think
you
know
it's
that's
gonna,
be
estimated
LGA
I
think
your
final
number,
my
understanding
is
I,
had
a
call
on
the
way
down
here.
So
it
was
too
late
to
change
my
chart
as
you're,
actually
getting
a
little
bit
more
than
that,
but
it
should
be
pretty
close
to
about
what
we're
looking
at
looking
ahead.
You
know:
we've
got
an
election
in
November,
both
the
Senate
and
the
house
are
up
and
that
could
shift
the
dynamics.
I
am
NOT.
G
G
It
is
looking
more
and
more
like
we
will
be
pushing
for
a
bonding
bill
at
the
beginning
of
the
year
again
we're
not
giving
up
hope
and
we
think
they
should
get
a
bonding
bill
done
now,
but
if
it
doesn't
we'll
be
pushing
for
that
at
the
beginning
of
session,
but
right
now
what
we
are
working
on.
You
know
normally
we'd
be
done
with
everything.
G
I
talked
to
Julie
about
that
cuz
I
knew
I
would
get
that
question.
She
said
we'll
be
making
that
decision
around
the
Labor
Day
is
kind
of
the
latest
it
just
these
meetings.
I
mean
yeah,
it's
gonna,
you
know
it
is
one
of
those
things
where
and
we've
got
contracts
in
place,
and
so
you
have
to
look
at
at
what
point
can
we,
you
know,
cancel
before
really
taking
a
bath?
You.
G
You
know
I,
honestly,
our
Fall
Conference,
if
you
haven't
been
to
that
yet
I,
would
strongly
encourage
it.
It
is,
it
has
become
our
most
popular
events,
actually
legislative
action
days
probably
be
most,
but
our
Fall
Conference
has
become
more
and
more
popular
we've
had
you
know
over
over
a
hundred
people
or
more
showing
up,
and
it
really
is
about
you
know
getting
ready
for
the
next
legislative
session.
You
know
once
we
know
where
the
election
is
sort
of
steering
us
as
well
as
getting
a
chance
to
get
to
know.
G
A
G
Yeah
and
we'll
miss
you
at
them,
and
we
hope
that
the
rest
of
you
pick
up
the
you
know.
The
torch
and
income
to
these
I
was
actually
looking
at
my
Facebook
page
today
and
I
switched
out
my
profile
picture,
because
I
think
it
was
six
years
ago.
We
were
here
for
the
annual
conference
and
there's
a
picture
of
me
with
a
large
can
of
spam,
but
it
was
a
very
well
with
a
six
years.
F
G
A
G
I'm
gonna
close
out,
you
know,
first
of
all
by
saying.
Thank
you
big.
Thank
you
to
the
mayor.
You
know
he's
been
on
the
board
for
quite
a
while.
You
know
we're
some
new
officer
position
as
well,
and
it's
really
you
know
it
is.
Our
organization
has
been
able
to
accomplish
a
lot
because
we
have
strong
leaders
like
mayor
steam
and
you
know
he's
not
the
only
one
Craig
Clark's
been
very
active,
but
I
know
a
lot
of
our
city
council
members.
G
If
you
know
you
come
to
our
events,
Austin,
it's
been
a
real
strong
member.
You
know
as
long
as
I've
been
at
the
firm,
and
it
is
that
sort
of
level
of
activity
that
allows
us
to
get
things
done,
and
it
really
is
you
know
it.
You
know
there
are.
There
are
some
things
that
all
cities
have
in
common,
but
there's
other
things
that
it
really
are.
You
know,
sort
of
about
grandeur,
Minnesota
and
it
is
that
sort
of
working
together
with
those
other
communities
across
the
state
that
you
know.
G
G
G
Even
if
you
want
to
watch
some
of
the
things
we've
been
doing,
but
if
you
ever
have
questions
so
always
feel
free
to
give
me
or
any
of
my
folks
a
call,
you
know
if
your
questions
about
an
annexation,
land
use
environment
call
me
LG
a
called
bradley
transportation
call
shane
child
care
or
call
Scott.
You
know
any
of
us
were
happy
to
talk
to
you.
So
thank.
A

A
A
K
Was
here
presented
a
good
case
for
the
for
their
need
and
for
their
ongoing
work
in
terms
of
even
if
they're,
not
able
to
provide
all
of
the
services
to
kids
coming
through
the
door
or
the,
but
based
upon
how
they're
able
to
comply?
It
sounded
as
though
the
council
was
supportive
of
apparati.
The
second
quarter
payment
in
fold,
I.
B
A
K
F
B
A
H
Thank
You
mayor
members
City
as
receive
or
as
applied
for
our
share
of
841
million
in
per
capita
funding.
The
City
of
Austin
is
eligible
for
a
little
over
1.9
million
and
kovat
related
expenses
related
to
the
federal
distribution
that
came
down
through
the
states.
There's
three
competing
interests
criteria,
tests
that
the
acceptance
of
those
funding
fall
under
one
that
had
been
necessary
related
to
Kovan,
two
that
it's
not
unaccounted
for.
Expenses
and
three
is
that
it's
within
the
designated
time
period.
H
Two
of
the
three
seemed
to
be
what
somewhat
contradictory,
but
we
did
a
lot
of
work
trying
to
work
with
the
League
of
Minnesota
cities,
total
Management
and
Budget
US
Treasury
Department
congressional
delegation,
individuals
and
National
League
of
Cities
to
reconcile
those
two.
Essentially.
What
it
comes
down
to
is
that
our
public
safety
expenses
may
be
presumed
that
payroll
costs
for
Public
Health,
Public
Safety
employees,
our
payments
for
services
that
are
substantially
dedicated
to
mitigating
or
responding
to
the
Cova
19
public
health
emergency.
F
A
A
E
That
pretty
much
explains
it
in
order
to
do
some
testing
for
the
back
mill
backfill
material.
We
want
to
utilize
American
engineering
and
testing
in
the
amount
of
two
thousand
one
hundred
and
five
dollars
for
the
testing
and
we'd
recommend
approving
this.
It
will
be
funded
through
our
Toro
Creek
to
sanitary
sewer
project.
Any.
M
A
E
June
Council
approved
a
grant
with
the
DNR
for
acquisition
of
this
property
at
5:09,
South,
Main,
Street
and
as
part
of
the
agreement
documents.
We
need
to
assign
these
deed
restrictions
to
the
property
indicating
that
the
money
that
we
use
from
the
state
that
we'll
continue
to
own
the
property
and
maintain
it
in
a
clear
manner
at
some
point
in
the
future.
If
we'd
ever
sell
it,
the
money
has
to
be
given
back
to
the
state,
which
is
a
be
a
very
cumbersome
process
to
document.

A
A
B
Waller
King
Schuester
Fisher
aye
Baskin
I
le
councilmember
at-large
Austin
hi
motion
passes
7-0,
okay,.
A
The
last
item
we
have
is
a
resolution
recommending
face
covering
pomp,
combat
covet
19
I,
just
like
to
say
something
before
we
go
and
then
it
will
go
around
and
everybody
can
talk
if
they
want,
but
we
have
this
resolution
obviously
I
think
it's
the
right
thing
to
do,
but
the
arguments
we
we
have
a
lot
of
arguments
against
face
masks.
You
know:
we've
been
hearing
a
lot
from
people,
all
we're
doing
is
making
a
recommendation
and
I
think
we
need
to
challenge
people
at
this
point.
A
We
need
to
challenge
the
people
in
Austin
to
start
wearing
face
masks.
We
have
a
police
chief,
that's
been
keeping
count
and
he
knows
about
the
percentage
that
people
are
wearing
now.
If
we
come
up
with
this,
if
we
do
this
resolution,
we
challenge
people
in
two
weeks
time
we'll
see
if
it's
made
a
difference
at
that
time,
I
think
we
can
argue
for
and
against
the
facemask
ordinance.
That's
just
my
opinion,
Tom.
Why
don't
we
go
around
I'm
sure
everybody
has
an
opinion
on
this
councilmember.
B
J
I
don't
know
if
I'm
for
or
against
it
quite
yet
I
really
think
it
should
be
left
up
to
real
killers
and
that's
Luthor,
because
enforcing
chase
masks
coverings
is
really
hard
to
do.
Not
every
employer
or
every
retail
business
or
inside
place
can
handle
something
like
a
mandate.
So
recommendation
is
okay,
I'm,
okay
with
that,
but
I'm,
not
necessarily
okay,
with
recommending
all
go
to
face
coverings.
Quite
yet,
that's.
A
D
D
The
first
is
that
I'm
interested
in
seeing
what
the
effect
of
having
Walmart
and
Walgreens
and
Lowe's
and
Home
Depot
and
other
bigger
businesses
go
with
the
mandate
and
to
see
that
as
an
experiment
of
what
I
hope
is
positive,
because
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
folks
that
that
could
rebel
against
that
and
bitching
to
see
how
these
these
go
in
the
next
two
weeks.
These
businesses
that
I
I
really
am
encouraged
to
see
that
they're
taking
the
lead
on
second.
I
D
For
what
reason
I
don't
take
level
a
tea
that
I
like
the
idea
of
having
the
businesses
regulate,
legislate
this,
because
if
they
choose
not
to
serve
somebody
wearing
a
mask,
much
like
they
wouldn't
serve
something
shoot
without
shoes
or
a
shirt.
Then
we
have
a
trespass
statute
and
then
I
can
deal
with
there's
certain
teeth
in
that
statute
for
trespassing
more
so
that
would
be
an
ordinance
mandate.
M
P
A
P
Feel
like
if
you're
a
member
of
the
general
public
and
you
looked
at
the
gender
that
was
published
yesterday,
you
have
no
idea
what
we're
talking
about,
because
this
was
an
edition
today
right
and
so
what
the
motion
that
funny
gender
that
we're
talking
about
today
is
the
City
of
Austin,
strongly
met,
recommending
masks
use
to
the
public.
Is
that
correct?
That's
correct.
P
A
Laura,
we
were
still
gonna
be
discussing
this
at
the
work
session.
I
think
live
right
now,
I
just
wanted
to
provide
kind
of
a
path
forward
right
now.
You
know
if
you
have
a
position
and
you
want
to
state
it,
that's
what
I
expect.
That's
what
I
expect
and
that's
what
people
are
doing.
Obviously,
you
may
or
may
not
change
that
in
two
weeks,
but
go
ahead
and
finish
your
statement.
P
A
P
M
B
C
Q
You
know
I
would
mirror
what
a
lot
of
folks
have
said.
I
am
in
favor
of
the
resolution,
I
think
that
you
know,
as
leaders
in
the
community,
it's
important
for
us
to
publicly
state
that
we
recommend
that
people
wear
face,
masks,
I,
think
a
lot
of
the
emerging
scientific
data
is
showing
that
this
is
a
relatively
low-cost
high-impact
tool
for
us
to
help
send
the
disease
and
what
Fort?
Q
Obviously
the
discussion
at
the
work
session,
because
there's
a
lot
of
passionate
folks
on
both
side,
your
does
a
government
mandate
fit
or
not,
and
I
think
you
know
the
next
couple
weeks
are
going
to
tell
us
a
lot
here,
but
you
know
I
mirror
what
councilman
pink
said,
which
is
hey.
If
we
can
start
moving
in
the
right
direction,
they
think
it
was
us
into
a
better
place
as
a
community
I,
don't
know
that
anybody
wants
to
do
a
government
mandate,
because
personal
choice
certainly
is
important.
At
the
same
time,
government
has
to
help.
F
F
Think
that
the
public
is
accepting
of
that
and
working
towards
that
I
think
when
we
see
these
larger
retailers
taking
the
initiative
to
require
masks,
wearer
and
their
establishments,
I
think
that's
going
to
change
what
the
public
does
when
they're
out
and
about,
and
these
groups
and
I
think
the
governor
is
also
weighing
it
so
I
mean
we
may
be
superseded
by
any
action
that
he
may
take.
So
I
think
this
is
a
good
action
to
take
at
this
time.
While
we
work
on
anything
further,
so
I
would
be
in
favor
of
this
resolution.
F
A
H
H
A
If
you
want
to
weigh
in
under
on
a
recommendation
or
the
resolution,
we
don't
want
it
public
here
we're
not
going
to
have
an
argument
on
the
mandate
tonight.
We
don't
have
all
the
information
we're
going
to
have.
We
need
two
weeks
for
people
to
contact
us.
We
want
to
see
how
the
resolution,
if
it
has
any
effect,
so
we
will
accept
input
on
the
resolution
we're
talking
about.
If
you
stop
start
talking
mandate,
I'm
going
to
cut
you
off
well,
I
won't
cut
you
off,
but
we
don't
want
you
talking
about
the
mandate.
A
Who
would
how
do
we
do
this?
How
do
we
call
let
people
talk
and.
R
B
R
A
Be
discussing
the
mandate
at
the
work
session
and
before
we
pass
it
we
would.
It
would
be
at
another
council
meeting
which
you
would
have
an
opportunity
to
make
input
again,
but
you
know
I,
just
I,
don't
think
council
people
know
where
they
are
on
this
I'm,
not
absolutely
sure.
So
we
need
a
couple
of
weeks,
but
this
all
this
does
is
it
asks
people
very
strongly
to
wear
masks.
Okay,.
A
N
Want
to
say,
I
love
what
I'm
hearing,
let's
give
it
some
more
time,
I,
really
like
all
the
ideas.
Let's
let
them
do
a
few
weeks
see
what
the
numbers
look
like
and
go
from
there
main
thing
about
all
these
coded
stuff.
Is
it's
gone
political
like
every
war,
does
and
there's
all
kinds
of
stuff
out
there.
N
So
you
know,
let's,
let's
use
our
credible
sources
and
make
accurate
intelligent
decision
when
it
comes
time,
but
I
like
what
everybody's
saying,
let's
go
couple
weeks,
see
what
these
places
that
are
doing
it,
because
that
is
their
choice
and,
let's
see
how
it
comes
out
for
him
see
if
it
works,
see.
If
it
doesn't
I
mean
all
we
can
do
is
give
it
time.
There's
there's
all
unknowns
with
this
COBIT
stuff.
A
I
And
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
we
support
this
resolution,
a
hundred
percent
there's
so
many
things
we
don't
know
about
:
19,
but
one
of
the
things
we
do
know
is
that
wearing
a
mask
is
one
way
to
prevent
the
spread
and
one
of
the
main
reasons
it's
so
important
is
because
30
to
45
percent
of
people
who
are
spreading,
it
don't
have
any
symptoms.
So
it
that's
one
of
the
main
reasons
we
support
this
Thank.
L
I
actually
work
four
days
a
week
in
Mankato,
where
it's
mandated
so
I
just
have
a
couple
of
comments.
First
of
all,
it
is
kind
of
a
from
the
economic
perspective.
It
is
kind
of
a
told,
because
I
worked
at
a
clothing
store
and
if
someone
comes
in
without
a
mask,
you
have
to
ask
them
to
leave
so
that
you
know
that
leaves
us
without
out
potential.
Customer
and
people
forget
them
all
the
time
and
unless
the
store
actually
provides
it
for
them
points.
L
Fortunately,
for
me,
I
work
for
a
corporation
that
they
can
budget
in
kick
masks
for
every
single
consumer
that
forget
some,
but
not
everyone
can
be
that
in
it.
You
know
we
are
seeing
in
the
numbers
and
the
sales
we're
not
making
our
weekly
sales
we're,
not
monthly
sales,
because
we
have
to
turn
people
away.
So
I
do
think.
That's
something
that
we
have
to
take
into
consideration
that
it.
It
has
taken
an
economic
toll,
I
think
for
a
lot
of
businesses.
There's
a
smoothie
place
next
door.
L
A
M
M
A
A
P
A
A
J
P
And
I
also
want
to
remind
folks
that
primary
is
coming
up
for
City
of
Austin
positions,
mark
your
calendar
plan
to
vote
on
August
11th
or
you
can
vote
either
by
mail
or
in
person.
You
don't
have
to
wait
vote
on
the
primary
day,
but
you
should
be
making
your
plans
now
for
how
you
want
to
vote
whatever
works
best
for
you,
Thank.
B
A
H
Thing
I
want
to
add
is
the
bonding
bill,
it's
kind
of
covered
by
a
coalition
of
Greater
Minnesota
cities.
We
were
in
part
in
the
house
release
of
their
bonding
proposals,
so
we
continue
to
monitor
that
closely
for
our
wastewater
treatment
plant.
Otherwise,
I
don't
have
anything
from
anyone
else.
Okay,.
