Description
Minneapolis Health, Environment & Community Engagement Committee Meeting
A
Good
afternoon,
everyone
welcome
this
is
the
regularly
scheduled
meeting
of
the
health
environment
and
community
engagement
committee.
I'm
going
to
call
it
to
order.
I
am
council
member
cam,
gordon
chair
of
the
committee
and
I'm
joined
by
council
members,
fry
bender,
andrew
johnson,
clinton
and
cono.
We
only
have
three
items
on
our
agenda
today.
A
This
will
be
referred
to
ways
and
means
committee
and
will
also
increase
the
appropriation
for
the
health
department
in
the
grants
and
federal
fund,
and
the
second
item
is
to
set
a
public
hearing
for
september
8
2014,
to
consider
the
subject
matter
of
an
ordinance
repealing
provisions
related
to
restroom
facilities,
I'm
going
to
move
both
of
those
items.
If
there's
any
questions
or
discussion,
we
can
take
that
seeing
none
all
those
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
aye
any
opposed
those
motions
carry.
A
A
B
B
Okay,
this
is
an
overview
of
our
division
in
our
division.
We
have
three
major
programs,
our
minneapolis
school-based
clinic
program,
which
is
located
in
seven
minneapolis
public
high
school
locations
and
our
youth
development
services,
which
include
planning
policy
and
outreach
to
youth
surveying
organizations,
as
well
as
our
youth
violence
prevention
initiative,
which
includes
our
work
around
the
blueprint
community
engagement
and
our
early
youth
intervention
programs.
B
As
I
mentioned,
I
am
the
director
of
the
division
and
I
also
like
to
take
the
time
to
introduce
some
of
our
staff.
Olivia
walker
is
our
youth
development
coordinator
over
here.
Okay,
josh
peterson
is
our
youth
intervention
coordinator,
sasha,
cotton
who's
on
vacation
is
our
youth
violence
prevention
coordinator.
B
Also,
barbara
kyle
is
a
school-based
clinic
manager
and
I
don't
think
barbara's
here
and
then
connie
rhodes
is
our
minneapolis
build
facilitator.
Paul
redman
is
our
americo
vista
and
we
also
have
an
intern
aria
weatherspoon,
and
I
don't
know
if
our
urban
scholar
is
here.
I
know
we
asked
to
stay
another
week
and
her
name
is
regina
cole.
B
I
also
have
today
some
of
the
staff
that
work
with
several
initiatives.
We
have
staff
here
from
tub
moon,
you
want
to
raise
your
hands,
we
have
one
of
our
youth
from
tubman,
and
then
we
also
have
members
of
our
bill.
Leadership
project
are
here
as
well,
who
will
be
presenting
later
in
the
presentation.
B
So
the
division
of
adolescent
health
and
youth
development
uses
a
public
health
framework
to
minimize
barriers
to
health
and
promote
supportive
research
resources
for
our
most
disadvantaged
youth.
Our
work
focuses
on
promoting
healthy
behavior
through
connection
to
school,
family
and
community,
and
we
do
this
by
ensuring
that
policy
and
programs
for
youth
are
aligned
with
positive
youth
development
theory
by
promoting
and
advocating
for
data
informed
and
culturally
specific
approaches
to
service
delivery
and
by
creating
and
maintaining
a
collaborative
collaborative
partnerships
addressing
disparities
through
youth
development.
B
This
schematic
actually
shows
who
we
work
with.
We
work
collaboratively
with
other
governmental
jurisdictions,
public
and
charter
schools,
local
advocacy
groups
and
youth
serving
organizations
and
an
example
of
some
of
our
collaborative
work
is
a
joint
powers
agreement
which
manages
the
juvenile
supervision
center,
which
is
a
partnership
between
hennepin,
county
minneapolis,
public
schools
and
the
link,
and
our
focus
is
to
address
services
for
low-level
offenders
in
minneapolis.
B
So
a
question
that
we
often
get
asked
by
elected
officials
is
what
is
the
city
getting
as
a
return
on
investment
in
youth
development
programming?
And
so
I
just
wanted
to
include
this
schematic.
The
blue
box
represents
some
results
from
a
statewide
study
that
was
done
by
wilder
in
2007
and
basically
what
they
said.
It
was
for
every
dollar
invested
in
out
of
school
time
programming,
there's
a
three
dollar
return
on
investment
and
for
every
dollar
invested
in
youth
intervention
programming.
B
B
Another
critical
component
of
our
work
is
working
in
partnership
with
families
and
communities,
as
well
as
reviewing
best
practices
to
see
how
we
can
help
to
develop
and
or
advocate
for
culturally
specific
approaches
in
order
to
help
to
dismantle
some
of
the
biases
racial
microaggression
and
misunderstanding.
That
often
occurs.
B
This
schematic
basically
tells
you
how
our
money
is
spent.
Roughly
we
get
about
1.6
million
a
little
over
1.6
million
for
youth
development
and
youth
violence
prevention
programming.
This
does
not
include
the
funding
that
we
get
for
our
school-based
clinics
or
for
the
home
visiting
visiting
services
for
team
parents,
but,
as
you
can
see
the
money
that
we
receive
from
the
city,
the
general
fund
money
is
critical
to
our
work
and
if
you
have
questions
about
this,
I
can
answer
those
at
the
end
of
the
presentation.
B
As
we
think
about
the
mayor's
three
themes-
equity,
growing,
the
city
and
running
the
city-
well,
you
can
see
how
our
work
is
integral
to
all
three
areas.
Healthy
and
positive.
Youth
development
is
the
deliberate
process
of
providing
all
youth
with
the
support,
relationships,
experiences,
resources
and
opportunities
needed
to
become
successful
and
competent.
Adults
and
the
the
readiness
target
is
just
an
example.
I
think
it
comes
from
ready
by
21.
B
Some
of
it
was
related
to
being
recognized
as
a
national,
a
forum
city
around
youth
violence,
and
this
is
a
the
mission
for
our
youth
violence
initiative
work.
It's
a
unified
city
where
all
youth
can
be
safe
and
thrive,
and
so
I'll
just
spend
a
few
minutes
talking
about
some
of
our
programs
from
the
summer.
B
B
B
B
As
I
mentioned,
we
piloted
our
case
management
program
this
year.
Tubman
is
our
contract
agency
that
we're
working
with
we've
been
able
to
provide
services
to
two
minneapolis
public
school
sites
sanford
and
on
the
south
side
and
osun
on
the
north
side.
There's
a
very
specific
referral
criteria
that
we
use.
We
have
social
workers
to
from
the
schools
that
actually
identify
a
vendor
and
refer
youth
to
the
program,
and
our
hope
is.
A
Could
I
just
stop
for
a
question
here:
could
you
just
tell
us
a
little
bit
more
about
what
are
the
criteria
that
the
social
workers
are
looking
for?
I
I
think
last
time
we
heard
about
it,
we
didn't
know
they'd
necessarily
be
referred
by
the
social
worker.
That
makes
a
lot
of
sense.
I
I
guess,
and
we're
working
only
at
two
schools,
because
we.
C
B
So
the
criteria
to
either
the
student
has
to
either
have
been
involved
with
violence
at
the
school
or
either
as
a
perpetrator
or
a
victim.
There's
some
known
gain
involvement,
or
they
have
one
or
more
of
the
following,
like
poor
school
attendance,
lack
of
engagement
in
school
disciplinary
issues
in
the
school,
such
as
up
or
including
suspension,
criminal
activity
prior
victimization,
anti-social,
delinquent,
aggressive
or
violent
behavior,
alcohol
and
drug
use,
mental
health
issues,
weak
social
ties
or
homelessness
of
paris
housing.
So
those
are
the
criteria
that
the
social
workers
are
using.
B
We're
also,
as
I
mentioned,
a
big
part
of
that
is
really
trying
to
to
develop
a
predictive
model
to
better
identify
youth
that
we
would
want
to
include
in
the
program
and
so
we're
partnering
with
the
university
of
minnesota
to
do
a
retro
analysis
of
data
from
the
police
department,
welfare
data,
as
well
as
data
from
minneapolis
public
schools
and
what
we
hope.
What
that
we
find
out
from
the
study
is
a
way
to
better
fine-tune
some
of
these
indicators.
B
Each
student
is
referred,
gets
a
case
manager
and
the
agency
what's
happening
is
that
contracted
agency
they
meet
with
the
social
worker.
They
also
meet
with
the
family
to
see
if
they're
interested
in
the
services,
because
it's
voluntary
and
if
they
are
interested
in
the
services
they
do
an
assessment
and
from
there
identify
what
services
are
needed.
So
sometimes
the
focus
is
just
on
the
student,
but
then
sometimes
the
focus
may
be
broader
than
that.
B
B
13
since
the
beginning
of
june,
okay-
so
again,
this
is
a
relatively
new
project.
I
think
it.
We
will
build
momentum
going
into
the
upcoming
school
year,
just
based
on
conversations
that
I've
had
with
minneapolis
public
school
staff
around
some
of
their
work
within
addressing
school
climate
and
safe
and
supportive
schools.
So
we'll
we'll
see.
A
A
It
would
seem
like
that
would
make
a
lot
of
sense
to
expand
to
other
schools,
especially
if
we
seem
to
be
you
know
at
setting
at
13
or
under
20
from
the
two
schools
we've
started
with,
and
so
all
right.
Thank
you
very
much
and
appreciate
all
the
that
harry
tom
and
his
folks
are
here,
probably
have
a
lot
of
expertise
too.
A
B
So
bill
minneapolis
is
our
game
prevention
program
targeting
youth
ages
9
to
18
throughout
the
city.
Bill's
mission
is
to
engage
at-risk
youth
in
the
schools
and
on
the
streets,
so
they
can
realize
their
educational
and
career
potential
and
contribute
to
the
stability,
safety
and
well-being
of
our
communities.
B
B
Another
component
of
that
has
been
our
build
leadership
project.
This
is
just
a
mural
from
one
of
our
one
of
our
sites
at
urban
arts
academy
is,
and
the
bill
leadership
program
actually
is
kind
of
outgrow
out
growth
from
build,
and
it
came
about
from
a
partnership
with
with
the
health
department,
north
side,
youth
collaborative,
which
is
a
network
of
youth
serving
organizations
on
the
north
side
and
emerged
community
development,
which
is
a
community
based
organization.
B
On
the
north
side,
there
was
so
much
interest
in
the
bill
curriculum
that
we
decided
that
we
wanted
to
pilot
a
peer
leadership
program
using
the
bill
model
called
bill
leaders,
and
this
is
just
a
picture
of
one
of
our
bill
leaders
so
don
and
being
interviewed
by
kerry
levin.
They
did
a
piece
on
us
this
summer.
B
So
I
think
the
really
the
strength
of
our
program
is
our
partnerships
and
collaborations
we've
been
able
to
improving
efficiencies
in
our
existing
programs,
such
as
the
juvenile
supervision
center,
and
also
our
work
has
resulted
in
funding
of
of
new
programs
through
some
of
the
planning
and
program
development
that
we've
done,
such
as
our
minneapolis
bill
and
our
minneapolis
bill
leadership
program.
We've
gotten
interest
from
j
jack
at
the
state
and
also
from
united
way
to
field
fund
those
initiatives.
B
Our
inspiring
youth
program
is
a
result
of
funding
we
received
from
the
city,
and
we
also
received
federal
funding
to
support
minneapolis
public
schools
in
a
safe
and
supportive
initiative,
and
hopefully
we'll
receive
additional
funding
next
year
to
continue
that
work.
And
then
our
our
work
has
been
recognized
nationally.
B
Our
blueprint
has
been
recognized
by
the
centers
of
disease,
control
and
unity,
and
our
work
around
teen
pregnancy
has
been
recognized
by
the
national
association
of
city
and
county
health
officials
as
a
promising
practice
and
as
well
as
our
staff
have
been
identified
as
to
provide
technical
leadership
to
the
juvenile
justice
reform
network.
Nationally.
E
B
C
Harriet,
summon
has
helped
me
with
many
struggles
I
found
to
hard
to
do
by
myself.
It
has
helped
me
set
realistic
goals
for
myself
and
help
me
prioritize
these
goals.
Helping
me
to
be
a
positive
person
by
showing
me
the
positive
and
healthy
things
in
our
community.
Patty
has
taken
me
to
see
positive
role.
Models.
Ashley
lawren,
the
owner
of
diva
rags,
was
one
of
these
role
models.
Ashley
has
taught
me
many
things
such
as
school
comes
first
and
boys
come
last
and
reach
high
and
even
told
me
about
being
my
own
boss.
C
Patty
has
helped
me
with
so
many
things
and
has
helped
me
to
realize
my
potential
patty
is
a
really
fun
helpful
kind
person
and
I
love
being
in
this
program.
I
think
more
kids
need
to
know
about
this
program.
This
will
really
help
them
with
their
goals
that
need
to
be
accomplished
or
just
a
person
to
help
guide
them
along.
Not
every
parent
has
much
time
in
their
hands
or
even
some
kids
come
from
bad
homes.
Any
positive
support
and
positive
reinforcement
in
their
lives.
C
As
hair
mitt
tubman
said,
I
freed
a
thousand
slaves.
I
could
have
freed
a
thousand
more
if
only
they
knew
they
were
slaves.
Harriet
tubman,
hared
tummy
was
a
hero
to
many.
This
program
has
taken
the
name
of
a
great
hero,
and
this
is
how
I
would
identify
this
program.
They
are
heroes
and
they're,
helping
in
our
communities
to
free
us
from
the
negative
that
surrounds
us
every
day
in
society.
This
program
can
free
many
youth
from
a
negative
lifestyle
if
only
this
program
remains
present.
Thank
you.
A
E
G
G
I
felt
like
growing
up
around
north
minneapolis
and
seeing
that
the
violence
like
started
to
feel
normal
to
me
like
to
see
stuff
going
on.
I
was
like
this
is
how
it's
supposed
to
be,
but
but
I
realized
that
I
had.
I
no
longer
wanted
to
be
a
part
of
that
problem,
and
I
knew
it
was
a
problem.
It's
like
something
that
always
told
me
that
it
was
a
problem,
but
it
felt
normal
at
the
same
time.
G
You
know
so
yeah,
it's
good,
and
it's
like.
I
don't
feel
like
enough.
Kids
have
like
that
role
model
of
a
male
in
their
house
and
for
us
it's
not.
We
have
girls.
Females
too,
but
kids
need
them,
but
it's
like
a
lot
of
men
that
don't
do
enough
and
they
like
that.
So
when
I
come,
it's
amazing
and
that's
it.
I
Right,
well,
you
invited
a
question,
so
it
could
be
for
anybody.
I
was
just
curious,
since
this
is
the
first
year
for
the
program,
how
you
thought
being
in
the
program
helped
your
own
leadership.
You
know,
what
did
you
feel
like
was
something
you
got
out
of
the
program
from
this
summer
might
help
us
think
about
it
for
future
years
too.
So.
F
What
I
get
out
of
it
is
the
reward
of
feeling,
at
the
end
of
the
day
that
I
did
something
for
my
community.
I
gave
back
to
the
community
that
helped
raise
me.
It
taught
me
a
lot
of
things
it
gave
me
well
when
it
comes
to
like
facilitation.
I
already
have
been
trained
for
that,
but
it
is
opening
up
a
lot
more
opportunities.
F
I
was
just
at
the
minneapolis
public
schools
back
to
school
jam
on
saturday,
and
I
seen
a
couple
of
my
kids
from
my
library
and
kids
from
other
libraries,
and
it
was
very
rewarding
to
be
there
with
my
family
and
to
see
the
kids
run
up
to
me
and
they
talk
about
all
the
cool
things
that
we've
done
at
the
library
to
their
parents
already
and
like
that's,
that's
the
one
thing
I
could
say
I
could
take
from
the
program.
That's
I'm
proud
to
say
that
I
was
a
part
of.
H
We
don't
see
like
dramatic
changes
like
right
away,
but
to
see
like
the
small
changes
like
as
far
as
like
them
hold,
opening
the
door
for
their
elders
and
no
ma'am.
Yes,
ma'am,
no,
sir.
Yes,
sir
and
stuff
like
that,
like
that's,
basically
it
it
inspires
me
in
a
way
to
want
to
continue
to
better
myself
and
it
changes.
H
A
D

Just
two
and
a
half
weeks
ago,
I
believe
we
was
accepted
for
a
micro
grant
by
the
health
department.
Thirty
three
hundred
fifty
dollars-
and
one
thing
us
as
a
group
came
about,
is
usually
when
nonprofit
organizations
are
around.
They
tend
to
compete
with
each
other
for
the
grant
money.
So
we
decided,
since
we
got
rewarded
this
grant
money,
that
we
were
going
to
throw
a
back
to
school
block
party
that
will
promote
unity
in
a
community.
F
F
The
last
couple
months
this
entire
summer
and
I've
noticed
a
lot
of
opportunities.
Just
the
last
week
me
and
tyrone.
We
walked
into
a
knock
neighborhood,
organizing
for
change,
and
we
was
following
up
on
a
one-on-one
and
making
sure
that
they
was
coming
to
the
event
that
we
have
this
friday
and
we
pretty
much
landed
a
job
there,
because
they
liked
how
we
they
liked,
how
we
presented
the
build
curriculum
and
how
we
presented
ourselves
and
the
things
that
we're
into.
F
And
yes
me,
like,
I
said
I'm
trying
to
get
into
as
much
civic
action
as
much
as
possible
because,
like
I
said
my
goal
in
life,
is
to
give
back
to
the
community
that
helped
raise
me
not
take
my
knowledge
and
go
and
make
profit
for
myself.
That
wouldn't
be
right.
You
know
so,
and
I
also
know
that
that
little
bit
of
mentorship
can
go
a
long
way.
Trust
me
like,
if
I
didn't,
have
the
trusted
adults
that
if
I
didn't
have
the
people
that
wanted
to
see
me
succeed.
F
I
don't
know
if
I
would
be
right
here
talking
to
you
guys
right
now.
So
that's
the
reason
why
I
want
to
continue
this
work,
because
I
know
I'm
not
going
to
reach
every
kid
that
comes
into
my
classroom
or
every
kid
that
I
talk
to.
But
at
least
if
I
could
reach
that
one,
then
that's
all
the
difference,
because
maybe
that
one
can
reach
10
and
maybe
that
10
can
reach
100
and
that's
our
goal.
At
the
end
of
the
day,.
D
What
I
think
it's
wonderful,
what
you're
doing,
and
I
just
encourage
you
to
keep
staying
involved
and
look
for
those
next
level
opportunities
and
whether
that's
running
to
be
a
board
member
on
your
neighborhood
association
or
reaching
out
to
one
of
the
council
members
to
serve
on
one
of
the
city's
boards
or
commissions,
and
you
might
even
be
up
here
serving
with
us
as
well
at
some
point
in
the
near
future.
So
I
just
continue
to
encourage
you
to
stay
involved
and
take
advantage
of
those
opportunities.
And
thank
you
again
for
your
your
work.
I
E
Again,
hi,
I'm
connie
actually
they're
contracted
to
work
10
hours
a
week.
However,
as
we're
this
is
a
pilot
we're
finding.
They
really
are
working
20
hours
a
week,
and
so
it
would
be
great
if
we
had
some
additional
funding
so
that
they
could
get
paid
for
those
20
hours.
So
right
now,
they're
10
hours
volunteer
and
about
10
hours
that
they're
paid
and
they're
doing
a
wonderful
job.
A
E
J
Yeah,
we're
currently
funded
by
the
department
of
safety
through
the
juvenile
justice
advisory
committee
and
again,
we've
had
about
18
months
of
funding,
nothing
through
general
fund.
We
were
able
to,
as
I
mentioned,
get
money
through
the
united
way
to
help
support
the
program
actually
through
may
2015.
But
after
that,
we're
still
looking
for
additional
funding.
A
I
don't
see
any
other
questions
or
comments.
I
really
appreciate
everybody
being
here
for
the
for
the
presentation
and
for
the
discussion,
especially
for
the
youth,
to
show
up
and
give
us
your
perspective.
It's
very
important
for
us
to
to
hear
as
well,
and
I
will
move
to
receive
and
file
the
presentation.
Then
all
those
in
favor
say
aye
any
opposed.
That
motion
carries
and
there's
no
further
business
before
us.
So
this
meeting
is
adjourned.
