C
That

We

in
motion
by
myself
to

an
audit
work
group
for
the
purpose
of
considering
the
ordinance
which
established
established
the
internal
audit
function
and
audit
committee
in
the
Minneapolis
code
of
ordinances,
and
we
are
going
to
examine
best
practices,
alternative
structures
or
models
and
report
to
the
City

with
a
recommended
course
of
action,
and
we,
the

be
chaired.
C
The
audit
work
group
will
be
chaired
by
councilmember
palmisano,
chair
of
the
audit
committee,
and
it
will
include
myself,
council
vice-president
glidden
councilmember
Quincy
chair
the
Ways
and
Means
Committee
councilmember
Lander
connell
audit
committee,
member,
a
mark,
o/s
audit
committee
member
and
a
representative,
surrogate
duplicate
audit
committee.
Oh
I'm,
sorry,
councilmember
condo
is
meant.
Remember
the
audit
committee,
that's
correct:
okay
and
a
representative
from
the
following:
the
mayor's
office,
City
Attorney's,
Office
city
coordinators,
office
and
City
Clerk's
office.
Any
discussion
on
that
motion.
G
You
very
much
Madam
President
I,
appreciate
this
coming
forward.
I
think
it's
a
great
opportunity
for
us
to
look
at
the
the
audit
committee
again
and
look
at
how
that
function.
Works,
I,
know
that
we're
in
some
transition
because
we
lost
our
auditor
recently.
The
comment
that
I
wanted
to
make
and
I
did
make
this
councilmember
Palmisano
I
think
it's
important
that
we
work
with
the
board
of
estimate
taxation
and
maybe
the
new
president
David
wheeler
of
that
our
chair
and
and
just
being
communications
and
work
with
them.
G
B
I
C
They
would
be
a
staff
designated
to
participate
in
the
work
group.
They
aren't
members
of
the
audit
committee
itself.
Their
staff
support
staff
support
in
the
mayor's
office.
A
representative
the
mayor's
office
helped
in
drafting
the
original
ordinance,
so
I
think
it
makes
sense.
Tab,
Nimmons,
table
councilmember
Gordon.
There.
G
Was
just
one
other
thing:
I
wanted
to
add.
I
also
noted
with
all
the
council
members
on
here
and
understand
that
these
meetings
will
have
to
be
noticed
and
they
have
Republic.
So
actually
any
council
member
could
attend
and
listen
or
anybody
from
the
public
will
have
an
opportunity
and
I
think
that's
just
a
fantastic
way
to
do
it.
Keep
it
very
open,
I,
don't
think
we'll
have
tons
of
people
showing
up
for
this
kind
of
discussion,
but
we
might
have
some
people
who
are
very
interested
in
then
they
can
and
follow
it
and
I.
C
Any
further
discussion
on
the
motion,
seeing
none
all
in
approval,
say
aye
aye
opposed
that
curious
under
new
business
I'm,
giving
notice
of
intent
to
introduce
at
the
next
meeting
of
the
City
Council,
subject
matter
of
an
ordinance
amending
the
code
related
to
housing,
amending
requirements
applicable
to
holders
of
rental
dwelling
licences
to
include
a
duty
to
attend
certain
meetings.
So
at
the
request
of
city
staff,
a
rental
license
holder
would
be
required
to
come
into
a
meeting
so
that
ordinance
will
be
in
front
of
you
at
the
next
meeting.
C
That
notice
is
given
or
that
introduction
will
be
available
at
the
next
meeting.
Next
item
is
a
notice
of
intent
by
councilmember
Gordon
to
introduce,
at
the
next
regular
meeting
of
the
City
Council,
the
subject
matter
of
an
ordinance
amending
the
code
related
to
housing
in
the
maintenance
code,
amending
provisions
related
to
tenant
notification
of
environmental
contamination
and
associated
activities.
That
notice
is
given
councilmember
Gordon
also
gives
notice
of
intent
to
introduce,
at
the
next
regular
meeting
of
the
City
Council
the
subject
matter
of
an
ordinance
amending
the
code
relating
to
liquor
and
beer.
C
Increasing
the
maximum
number
of
temporary
expansion
licenses,
a
licensee
is
eligible
to
receive
each
year.
That
notice
is
given.
This
is
the
part
of
our
agenda
that
if
anyone
has
any
announcements
about
a
community
event
or
things
of
particular
interest
in
your
ward
you're
welcome
to
do
so
so
I
see
council,
member
Gordon.
G
And
just
to
be
clear
that
the
reason
why
this
is
coming
forward,
sometimes
some
issues
of
liquor
and
expansion
of
premises.
They
can
be
pretty
significant
and
noteworthy
and
I
didn't
want
anybody
to
pen
it
too
much
at
least
to
understand
why
I'm
doing
this,
it
is
because
the
Vikings
games
are
going
to
be
moving
to
TCF
stadium
and
right
now
there's
a
number
of
the
bar
owners.
