The
record
reflected
a
quorum
is
present
for
this
meeting.
Purpose
of
this
first
meeting
is
to
organize
the
membership
for
the
conduct
of
City
business.
This
organizational
meeting
is
convened
pursuant
to
notice,
as
required
by
law,
which
was
published
and
posted
on
Tuesday
December
31st
2013.
The
matters
which
must
be
transacted
as
part
of
this
organizational
meeting
have
been
listed
on
the
agenda.
Printed,
copies
of
the
agenda
have
been
distributed
to
all
members
of
the
Dyess,
and
copies
also
are
available
to
the
public.
A
E
I
would
like
to
motion
to
amend
the
agenda
to
add
a
section
for
a
public
comment.
I
think
this
is
a
pretty
historical
day
for
many
of
us,
and
I
would
really
welcome
the
family,
friends,
colleagues
and
community
members
in
the
room
to
share
15
minutes
of
your
ideas,
thoughts,
dreams
and
visions
with
us
as
we
embark
on
this
four-year
journey.
Second,.
A
It's
been
moved
and
seconded
to
amend
the
agenda
to
add
a
new
section
number
three
entitled
public
comment
to
provide
a
period
of
not
to
exceed
15
minutes,
during
which
time
speakers
may
be
recognized
for
the
purposes
of
addressing
the
City
Council
for
periods
of
not
to
exceed
three
minutes
per
speaker
or
until
the
total
time
reserved
for
public
comment
is
expired
and
to
renumber
the
remaining
in
genda
items.
Accordingly,
is
there
discussion
on
that
amendment,
councilmember,
Barbara,
Johnson,.
F
Thank
You
mr.
chair
I
would
urge
my
colleagues
to
vote
against
this
motion.
The
City
Council
has
a
standing
rule
that
we
do
not
have
public
testimony
at
our
meetings,
and
this
was
not
noticed
as
a
public
meeting.
So
it
seems
the
people
who
have
been
invited
are
the
folks
that
perhaps
could
get
into
this
15-minute
discussion
and
I
feel
that
if
we
have
public
comment,
it
should
be
truly
open
to
the
public
I
personally
have
had.
F
That
will
deal
with
the
subjects
that
people
are
concerned
about
and
I
would
encourage
anyone
who
would
like
to
speak
up
to
the
City
Council
to
look
and
understand
which
committee
their
interest
is
going
to
be
dealt
with
in
and
make
an
appointment
with
a
chair
of
that
committee
and
come
to
a
meeting
of
that
committee,
which
is
how
we
do
business
in
this
city.
The
other
thing
I
want
to
say
is:
we
are
going
to
have
a
priorities
and
goal
setting
exercise
as
part
of
our
new
council.
F
We
do
this
every
four
years
and
we
welcome
public
comment
during
that
goal.
Setting
time
I'm
sure,
council
members,
if
they,
if
they
would
wish,
could
set
up
public
meetings
in
their
community
and
ask
for
individuals
to
come
and
speak
to
them
and
give
them
their
input
about
what
they
think
the
goals
of
the
city
should
be
for
the
next
four
years.
So
I
I
would
ask
my
colleagues
to
vote
against
this
motion
today.
C
G
Appreciate
that
and
I
also
appreciate
all
the
comments
that
councilmember
Johnson
made
I'm
going
to
support
the
motion,
though,
because
I
think
this
is
an
exceptional
meeting.
It's
an
exceptional
time,
there's.
Obviously
people
who
want
to
speak
a
little
bit
and
I
think
it
would
actually
set
a
good
tone
for
our
first
meeting
to
set
aside
15
or
even
30
minutes
where
we
could
take
some
respectful
comments
here
in
the
chamber,
so
I'll
be
supporting
it
understanding
that
it
is
exceptional
that
it
is
that
it
is
rare,
but
I
think
if
it
doesn't
pass.
G
D
You
mr.
Clerk
I
also
I'm
going
to
vote
no
on
this
motion,
and
I
just
wanted
to
give
a
signal
to
my
colleagues
about
that.
I
really
respect
and
honor
that
we
have
this
amount
of
engagement
in
our
organizational
meeting.
This
is
something
that
is
absolutely
unprecedented,
but
if
we're
going
to
do
public
comment,
I
say:
let's:
let's
do
it
right,
let's
give
notice
to
the
public.
Let's
have
an
unlimited
time
for
that
comment.
Let's
make
sure
everyone
can
be
involved.
D
E
So
a
dear
colleagues,
as
many
of
you
know,
I
come
from
a
deep
organizing
background
and
an
immigrant
family
that
has
had
to
fight
every
step
of
the
way
to
get
to
where
we
are
today.
I
realized
that
this
may
be
not
a
very
typical
move
and
I
think
that,
through
untypical
moves
government
can
become
more
responsible
and
connected
to
the
community
members
that
we
seek
to
represent,
because
we
know
how
much
time
and
F
it
has
taken
for
folks
to
be
here,
because
we
know
how
cold
it
is.
E
I
do
want
to
acknowledge
that
there
might
be
folks
here
from
that
rally
that
might
want
to
speak,
but
I
also
want
to
acknowledge
that
there's
family
members
and
community
members
here
who
also
just
want
to
wish
as
well
celebrate
with
us
the
fact
that
we
have
elected
the
first
Somali
to
the
to
the
council.
The
first
Hmong
American
to
the
council
and
the
first
Latina
to
the
council.
E
A
Are
there
further
comments
on
the
Cano
amendment?
The
clerk
would
remind
members
that,
under
the
council's
rules,
any
motion
to
suspend
the
rules
would
require
a
two-thirds
vote.
That's
nine
members.
If
there
are
no
further
comments,
I
will
ask
the
clerk
to
call
the
roll
on
the
question
of
whether
or
not
to
amend
the
agenda,
to
include
a
new
section,
titled
public
comment
and
to
allow
a
period
of
not
to
exceed
15
minutes
during
which
speakers
would
be
available
to
address
the
council.
Tom's.
G
A
B
A
That
motion
fails
to
achieve
the
two-thirds
majority
vote
required
for
passage
to
suspend
the
rules
to
amend
the
agenda.
Therefore,
before
us
again,
colleagues
is
a
motion
to
approve
the
agenda
as
it
was
distributed
in
printed
at
your
desks
and
I
will
call
for
the
question
on
that
by
a
voice
vote.
Those
in
favors
of
the
motion
to
approve
the
agenda
as
printed
and
distributed.
Please
say:
aye
hi,.
D
A
Opposed
say
no
that
eyes
have
it
the
genda
as
printed
and
distributed
has
been
adopted.
Members.
The
first
item
of
business
is
the
election
of
a
president
of
this
body.
Without
objection,
we
will
proceed
to
open
the
floor
for
nominations
to
the
office
of
President.
Are
there
any
nominations?
Councilmember
Quincy,
Thank.
A
A
Are
there
further
nominations?
Hearing
no
further
nominations:
I
will
entertain
a
motion
to
close
the
nominating
period.
Is
there
such
a
motion?
The
motion
has
been
moved
and
seconded
to
close
the
period
of
nominations
for
the
council
president,
those
in
favor
say
aye
opposed,
say.
No.
The
eyes
have
at
the
period
for
nominating
a
member
to
council
president
is
closed
members.
The
vote
will
be
conducted
on
the
motion
to
elect
barbara
johnson,
a
council
member
from
the
fourth
ward
to
the
office
of
council
president.
The
clerk
will
call
the
roll.
C
C
A
F
F
President
I
view
my
job
as
number
one
having
you
be
the
most
successful
council
member
that
you
can
be
and
I'm
sure
all
of
us
have
listened
to
the
voices
that
are
here
today,
as
well
as
our
constituents
during
this
long
election
cycle
and
to
our
new
mayors,
remarks
today
and
know
that
we
have
a
big
job
ahead
of
us
and
are
anxious
to
go
forward
and
work
on
the
priorities
that
we
establish
as
a
city
in
conjunction
with
our
residents.
So
thank
you
again
very
much
with
that.
F
Okay,
I'm
sorry
have
I,
have
councilmember
gardened.
It
was
that
you
that
said
that
councilmember
garden
I'm
sorry
councilman
were
right.
Okay,
all
right
all
right,
so
we've
got
obviously
a
nomination
and
a
second
of
council
member
elisabeth
glidden
for
the
position
of
vice
president
of
the
City
Council.
Any
discussion,
councilmember
Gordon
thank.
G
You,
madam
president,
I
just
wanted
to
offer
a
few
comments
for
those
of
you
who
follow
this.
This
kind
of
thing
closely.
I
was
public
in
my
support
for
councilmember
glidden.
For
president
early
on
with
the
the
new
mayor,
the
change
in
the
council.
I
was
excited
and
hopeful
that
we
could
make
a
smooth
transition
to
some
new
leadership
in
the
council
presidency
as
well
and
was
supporting
councilmember
glidden,
because
I
felt
she
had
the
leadership
qualities
that
we
needed
and
also
understood
the
issues
well.
G
I
think
seeing
her
in
the
role
of
vice
president
is
an
outstanding
compromise.
I
also
want
to
extend
and
acknowledge
the
work
that
councilmember
Johnson
put
into
putting
together
this
organization.
When
it
became
clear
there
was
a
divided
Council
I
think
there
was
some
some
division
among
us,
I
don't
know
exactly
where
what
it
was,
but
clearly
there
was
some
some
interest
in
a
change
there
and
I
think
having
a
councilmember
glidden
serve,
as
vice
president
was
one
of
the
first
decisions
that
showed
that
there
was
a
real
interest
in
seeing.
G
How
could
we
get
some
unity?
How
could
we
bring
everyone
together
and
how
could
we
take
this
diverse
group
of
people,
a
majority
who
are
new
to
the
council
and
develop
an
organization
that
everybody
could
support
and
everybody
could
be
comfortable
with
and
I
know
that
I'm?
I
offered
particular
input
about
my
place
in
that
organization,
which
I
think
all
of
us.
It
was
our
responsibility
to
do
that
and
I
think
we
also
advocated
for
one
another
about.
G
Let's
make
sure
everybody
else
finds
a
place
where
they
fit
in
well
with
this
organization
and
I
think
that
we
found
that-
and
this
is
a
key
part
of
it-
having
a
councilmember
Johnson
as
president
and
councilmember
Clinton
has
vice
president.
It
kind
of
sets
that
and
I
believe
once
that
was
determined
by
the
two
of
you.
You
actually
took
the
lead
in
developing
this
organization
and
the
committee's
and
the
committee
membership
and
the
chairs
and
I
really
appreciated.
Seeing
you
two
work
together.
F
C
D
A
D
A
D
D
You
Council
President
Johnson
I
just
wanted
to
have
a
moment
to
say.
First
thank
you
to
my
colleagues
for
supporting
me
as
the
vice
president,
I'm
really
honored,
to
have
your
confidence
and
I'm
very
excited
to
be
part
of
the
leadership
team
working
together
with
Council
President
Johnson
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
you
as
well.
D
I
really
appreciate
that
I
also
wanted
to
say
thank
you
to
the
community
for
what
I
think
has
been
a
very
unprecedented
amount
of
engagement
in
thinking
about
the
work
of
the
City
Council,
and
to
me
that
says
that
we
have
strong
partners,
not
just
in
helping
people
get
elected,
but
thinking
about
how
does
the
work
get
done
and
wanting
to
influence?
How
do
we
do
our
work?
How
do
we
see
continued
to
see
what
are
the
priorities
of
the
community
and
I
think
having
the
rally
for
racial
equity
here
today?
D
At
the
same
time,
when
we
had
such
a
strong
speech
by
our
new
mayor
council,
member
or
excuse
me,
council,
member
mayor,
Betsy
Hodges
that
referenced
the
gaps
in
our
community
and
our
need
to
work
together
as
one
community
for
racial
equity
was
a
beautiful
speech
and
I
support
it
wholeheartedly
and
I.
Think
from
the
perspective
of
a
council
member
now,
the
question
is:
how
do
we
converge
around
this
goal,
which
I
do
think
was
one
shared
by
virtually
every
person
who
got
elected
this
year?
D
You
saw
it
in
their
campaigns,
you
saw
it
and
what
they
talked
about
on
the
campaign
trail.
How
do
we
converge
around
this
goal
and
how
do
we
get
the
work
done
because
I
think
you
see
up
here,
13
people
who
are
fierce
13
people
who
are
committed
to
working
with
their
constituents
who
see
the
urgency
of
these
issues
and
who
also
see
we
need
to
lead
with
compassion
and
I'm
excited
to
be
part
of
a
group
that
reflects
these
values
and
I'm
motivated
to
work
with
the
community
to
achieve
these
goals.
D
F
F
C
F
D
F
D
D
D
F
I'm
gonna
remark:
it's
gonna
be
hard
to
call
mere
Hodges
mere
Hodges
and
it's
gonna
be
hard
not
to
answer
to
councilmember
Johnson.
On
the
first
thoughts.
A
few
things
to
get
used
used
to
the
next
item
on
our
agenda
is
the
designation
of
the
council's
standing
policy
committees,
including
the
membership
of
each
Standing
Committee
in
the
selection
of
a
chair
of
each
of
those
committees,
the
quorum
for
the
committee
and
the
dates
and
times
for
regular
meetings
of
each
Standing,
Committee,
you'll,
you're
being
distributed
packet.
F
That
outlines
the
proposal
for
establishing
the
council
standing
committees,
including
the
total
number
of
members
for
each
committee,
and
it's
quorum,
the
membership
and
the
chairs
and
vice
chairs,
as
well
as
the
proposed
meeting
dates
and
times
within
the
council's
regular
two
weeks
cycle.
That
proposal
is
before
us.
Is
there
any
discussion
on
the
proposed
committee
structure,
councilmember
glidden,
just.
D
G
I
think
it
might
be
helpful
if
we,
if
our
attention
was
called
to
the
revised
sheet
to
come
out
with
the
packet
and
that
we
maybe
somebody
could
just
articulate
the
one
change
that
was
made
reps
the
clerk
or
president
to
it,
because
it's
it's
not
clear.
I
think
I
found
out
what
it
is,
but
I'll,
let
maybe
the
the
clerk
can
form
is
about
what
the
difference
is.
Mr.
A
Carl
Madam
President,
so
that
you
know
several
pages
in
the
prepared
package
had
been
corrected.
You
should
have
a
loose
page
that
is
Stan's
revised
on
the
corner.
That
replaces
the
page
that
lists
the
committee
of
the
whole
and
the
rest.
Essentially
the
second
page
of
this
resolution
and
the
change
would
be
to
the
membership
of
the
health
environment
and
community
engagement
committee
as
its
proposed.
The
membership
would
then
include.
Gordon
estare
johnson
andrew
johnson
is
vice-chair
fry
glidden,
Cano
and
bender.
A
We
made
a
change
to
the
membership
of
Public
Safety
civil
rights
and
emergency
management
for
the
membership
there.
The
chair
is
proposed
to
be
councilmember
yang,
I,
stare,
councilmember
Gordon
with
the
members
being
council
members,
Reich,
Barbara,
Johnson
or
sami,
and
palmisano
replacing
Andrew
Johnson.
D
C
F
Further
discussion,
it's
been
moved
and
seconded
all
in
approval,
say
I
hi.
D
F
F
Report
is
adopted
that
resolution
next
item
we
have
is
the
designation
of
council
members
to
serve
as
the
executive
committee
and
the
executive
committee
is
an
independent
committee
established
by
the
Charter
and
its
membership
consists
of
the
mayor.
The
council
president
up
to
three
council
members
chosen
by
the
City
Council,
provided
that
null
not
all
members,
may
be
of
the
same
political
party,
and
so
my
proposal
for
the
designation
of
council
members
to
serve
on
the
executive
committee
is
before
you
in
the
form
of
a
resolution,
and
that
is
in
the
packet.
F
C
D
C
F
Eyes,
Hammett
and
the
resolution
is
adopted
in
Council
members
right,
Gordon,
glidden
and
myself
are
designated
as
members
of
the
executive
committee.
Next
item
we
have
is
the
designation
of
members
to
serve
on
the
Audit
Committee.
The
Audit
Committee
is
an
independent
committee

According

The
next
site
of
business
is

formal
confirmation
of
the
2014
calendar
of
regular
meetings
for
the
council
and
it's
standing
committees,
which
was
previously
adopted
this
past
December.
We
have
made
some
changes
because
of
the
revised
committee
structure
and
we
have
a
revised
proposal
in
front
of
you.
F
It's
in
your
packets
that
substitutes
the
previous
substitute
substitutes
for
the
previously
adopted
calendar,
and
this
new
calendar
reflects
the
new
committee
structure.
It
shows
that
the
first
two
week
meeting
cycle
will
begin
next,
Monday
January
thirteenth,
giving
all
committee
chairs
the
remainder
of
this
week
to
meet
with
staff
and
their
new
members
to
organize
their
committees
for
the
coming
year.
Any
discussion
on
the
proposed
substitute
for
the
calendar.
D
F
D
I
will
move
approval
of
the
rules
and
I
just
wanted
to
note
from
my
colleague
that
this
is
actually
an
item
that
will
need
to
have
some
amendment
following
this
meeting
to
reflect
some
of
the
changes
that
we've
made
in
our
committee
structure
and
other
details,
and
so
as
a
formality.
We
need
to
approve
this
today,
but
we
will
be
moving
some
revisions
sometime
in
the
in
the
soon
to
come.
Future.

moved
the

none
all

clerk.
Councilmember
Goodman
has
pointed
out
to
me

the
standing
committees.
Madam.
A
President

the
first
listed
alphabetically
in
the
first
page
of
resolution.
It
says:

in
your
packets.
There

the

of
various
boards
commissions
on
other
organizations.
As

behalf
of
the

Minneapolis,
we
have
a
draft
resolution
that
is
outlines
the
proposed
assignments
of
council
members
to
various
boards
and
commissions.
Any
discussion

that
motion.
A
Madam
President
mr.
Karl
with
apologies
again.
This
is
one
of
the
matters
that
was
revised,
so
you
should
find
in
your
packet
a
page
stamped
revised
that
was
different
from
what
had
previously
been
distributed.
The
membership
on
a
few
of
these
appointments
had
changed.
On
the
second
page
of
the
resolution
for
the
rail
policy
group,
councilmember
bender
was
added.
As
a
member
for
the
st.

Falls
Heritage
Board
councilmember

may
takes
the
seat.
We
also
added
the
Target
Center
review
team,
which
has
council

Goodman
and
Barbara
Johnson
as

F
Any
further
discussion
on
the
succession
plan-
I'm
sorry
on
the
boards
and
commissions
outside
boards
and
commissions
and
I,
might
add
that
our
resolution
encourage
our
excuse.
Me
allows
for
again
changes
to
be
made
when
we
do
this
and
and
I
will
just
tell
folks.
This
is
a
page
and
a
page
of
assignments
that
our
colleagues
are
assigned
to
across
many
different
boards
and
commissions
across
the
community.
F
Some
even
at
the
state
level,
in
to
try
and
compile
all
of
these
in
an
orderly
way
is
not
always
easy,
and
so
we
may
have
missed
some,
which
we
can
add
later,
but
people
do
do
great
work
and
not
just
at
the
City
Council
button
give
my
involvement
across
the
community
so
on
the
appointment
of
board.
The
council
members
to
boards
and
commissions
all
in
approvals,
say
aye
aye
opposed
that
carries.
F
Next,
we
have
the
referral
of
the
subject
matter
of
an
ordinance
and
it's
pretty
much
an
operational
matter.
It's
the
subject
matter
of
an
ordinance
related
to
wages
and
salaries
to
the
Ways
and
Means
Committee,
and
that
draft
motion
is
before
you
also.
This
is
a
pretty
pro
forma
motion
that
we
make
at
the
beginning
of
every
organizational
meeting.
The
matter
is
referred
to
the
Ways
and
Means
Budget
Committee.
Any
discussion
on
that
ordinance.
Referral,
seeing
none
all
in
approval,
say
aye
aye
opposed
that
carries.
F
Next,
we
have
a
referral
again
another
and
will
say
perfunctory,
but
standard
operating
procedure,
subject
matter
of
an
ordinance
to
amend
the
code
related
to
traffic
control
to
the
transportation
and
Public
Works
Committee,
and
the
draft
motion
is
in
your
packet.
Would
someone
offer
that
motion
in
the.
F
Next
item
is
the
referral
of
a
subject
matter
of
an
ordinance
for
the
zoning
code.
Third
and
final
referral,
the
subject
matter
of
an
ordinance
amending
the
code
relating
to
zoning
districts
and
maps
to
the
zoning
and
planning
committee,
and
that
draft
mode
is
in
in
front
of
you.
Would
someone
like
to
offer
that
motion
so.
F
And
with
that,
we've
completed
the
business
of
the
organizational
meeting
of
the
City
Council
any
further
business
to
come
before
the
city
council
today
all
right,
seeing

Thank

every
one

As
we
have
heard
today,
we
have
many
important
issues
that
are
going
to
come
before
the
City,
Council
and
I
know

do
their
best

experienced
way

life
experiences

So.
Thank
