F
A
G
You
very
much,
madam
vice
president
Ways
and
Means
Committee,
will
bring
forward
12
items
for
your
consideration
on
fri.
The
first
is
the
an
investment
policy
and
strategy
for
the
city.
It's
actually
the
last
I'm
going
in
reverse
order.
This
is
the
first
time
that
the
city
has
had
a
formal
investment
policy
and
it
was
a
tremendous
body
of
work
from
our
finance
staff
and
wanted
to
highlight
that
for
folks
to
peruse.
G
The
next
item
would
be
a
system
administrator
position
as
adding
a
full-time
employee
software
engineer
to
position
to
the
office
of
the
city
clerk.
This
too
is
an
important
step
forward,
the
city
as
we're
trying
to
implement
an
extensive
legislative
information
management
system
and
other
initiatives
through
the
clerk's
office.
G
Then
there
were
two
travel
donations
that
were
accepting
and
I
wanted
to
highlight
for
folks
a
the
2014
holiday
event.
This
was
a
interesting
and
robust
conversation
at
the
Ways
and
Means
Committee,
obviously
the
Holidazzle
event.
It
went
through
its
last
iteration
last
year
and
over
the
time
there's
since
about
nineteen
ninety-two,
I
believe
it
was
22
years
ago
we've
been
supporting
very
that
activity
in
downtown
as
a
way
to
stimulate
the
retail
market
place
along
nicollet
mall.
G
Meeting
that'll
really
include
a
change
in
our
funding
stream
and
I,
hopefully,
will
address
some
of
the
other
questions
that
were
revolved
around
the
scope
of
the
work
that
in
the
city's
commitment.
So
if
there's
any
further
questions
on
that
item,
I'd
be
happy
to
address
that
or
hear
from
other
members
on
their
opinions.
G
A
I'm
going
to
actually
just
put
myself
in
queue
just
because
I
wanted
to
clarify,
because
my
understanding,
I'm
not
sure
if
you
I,
was
listening.
I
wasn't
sure
if
you
actually
said
what
was
the
revision
to
the
funding
stream,
but
I
thought
I
had
understood
that
it
was
revised
to
come
entirely
from
the
convention
center
fund,
as
opposed
to
from
the
portion
from
the
city
coordinators
office
and
it
and
just
to
say,
if
that's
the
case,
this
makes
it
something
that
I
certainly
can
support.
A
G
You,
madam
vice
president,
I,
would
like
to
just
clarify
that
that
is
correct,
that
we
decided
that
the
entire
funding
source
would
come
from
the
convention
center
that
we're
rarely
asking
for
because
there's
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
already
in
this
budget
to
continue
that
funding
allocation.
So
we're
really
asking
for
an
additional
95,000
and
that
will
be
coming
from
the
convention
center
fund.
As
that's
the
source
of
the
funds
that
are
collected
in
the
suite
of
taxes,
hospitality
taxes
collected
downtown,
so
the
scope
of
that
event.
B
B
D
I
was
curious
about
the
investment
policy
and
strategy,
I'm
not
finding
that
in
my
book.
I
see
that
it's
online,
but
so
what
number
would
that
be?
And
so
I
it
sounds
like
the
council
is
going
to
be
expected
to
approve
the
investment
in
policy
strategy.
It
wasn't
just
a
receive
and
file
that
stating
committees
that
correct
that's.
G
Correct
councilmember
the
we've
been
operating
under
investment
guidelines
for
a
number
of
years,
and
this
is
the
first
creation
of
an
investment
policy.
It
should
be
item
number
12
on
our
ways
and
means
agenda
for
friday.
We'll
make
sure
that
there's
a
copy
available
for
you
should
be
posted
online
from
the
ways
and
means
agenda
itself.
I.
D
A
E
H
H
For
speech
that
he
is
going
to
give
so
my
thought-
and
I
called
mr.
carl
late
last
night-
and
I
apologize
for
doing
that-
just
to
see
if
there
are
any
procedural
barriers
to
moving
the
council
meeting
up
so
that
we
could
attend
and
our
very
efficient
clerk
staff
apparently
made
the
change
or
make
is
recommending
to
make
the
change.
But
I
want
to
have
a
discussion
with
people.
A
H
C
You,
madam
chair
and
I,
certainly
will
talk
to
the
council
president.
Whatever
you
decide
is
okay
with
me,
but
this
is
going
to
be
a
very
short
council
meeting,
so
it
is
within
the
realm
of
possibility
to
leave
it
at
nine-thirty
and
look
at
committee.
The
holes
taken
19
minutes
and
that's
partially
discussing
this,
so
it
might
be
that
it's
possible
to
meet
at
nine-thirty
and
be
done
by
10,
and
then
the
the
time
in
the
paper
today
was
actually
1050,
Tim,
50
right
so
I'm
indifferent.
C
A
And
I'm
not
seeing
for
the
discussion
again.
Council
president
has
invited
council
members
to
drop
by
her
office
and
have
a
little
bit
more
personal
engagement.
So
you
don't
need
to
make
your
comments
right
now
and
with
that
I
believe
that
we
have
concluded
with
our
agenda
and
so
we
are
adjourned.
Thank
you
very
much.
