Description
Minneapolis Committee of the Whole Meeting
A
Good
morning,
I
am
calling
to
order
our
regularly
scheduled
committee
of
the
whole.
My
name
is
elizabeth
glidden
and
I'm
the
chair
of
this
committee
and
I'm
joined
by
council
members,
Reich
bender,
Andrew,
Johnson,
yang,
Quincy
cry
and
Palmisano,
and
we
are
a
quorum
of
this
committee
able
to
do
the
committee's
business
want
to
say
thank
you
to
our
guests
and
welcome
and
we
are
beginning
now
we
have
to
brief
items
at
the
beginning
of
our
agenda
and
then
we'll
have
a
longer
discussion
about
the
business
plan
for
the
information
technology
department.
A
The
first
item
is
a
consent
item.
It
is
a
return
to
this
committee
of
a
request
for
our
staff
to
write
a
letter
of
support,
designating
Minnesota
as
the
official
site
of
Expo,
2020,
3
and
so
I
would
move
approval
of
this
item.
Any
discussion
on
that.
Seeing
none
on
approval,
please
say
aye
aye
opposed
and
that
item
is
approved.
The
next
item
is
a
significant
item,
but
what
we
are
doing
is
just
a
piece
of
our
process
around
this
item.
A
The
whole
meeting
to
consider
an
ordinance
amending
the
Minneapolis
code
of
ordinances
by
adding
a
new
title,
7.5
entitled
working
families,
adding
provisions
relating
to
earned
sick
and
save
time
and
fair
scheduling
and
I
will
note.
In
addition
to
this,
that
we
do
have
on
the
city
website
and
early
policy
framework
that
had
asked
for
comment
to
be
submitted
by
October
sixteenth.
And
we
are
asking
our
staff
to
help.
A
Show
us
an
ordinance
shortly
after
that
date,
which
we
will
then
discuss
in
our
next
committee
of
the
whole
prior
to
November.
Fourth
meeting
so
with
that
I
will
go
ahead
and
move
this
item
and
then
see
if
there
is
discussion
on
it
and
I'll
note
that
david
frank,
our
director
of
economic
development
is
either
in
this
room
or
just
outside.
Oh
there.
A
He
as
he
is
here
that
people
have
questions
discussion
on
that
item,
seeing
none
on
approval,
please
say:
aye,
aye
opposed
and
that
item
those
that
hearing
is
set
and
that
ordinance
is
referred
to
staff
for
the
work
that
I
described.
Next.
We
have
a
presentation
from
our
information
technology
department
on
its
business
plan
for
the
next
five
years.
Mr.
Dahl
thank.
B
A
B
B
What
we'd
like
to
do
is
empower
employees
through
the
use
of
technology
tools.
It's
important
for
us
to
understand
that,
once
tools
are
put
into
place
and
people
start
using
them,
we
have
to
ensure
that
they
operate
efficiently
effectively
and
at
an
acceptable
cost,
and
so
it's
very
important
for
us
to
ensure
that
in
our
services
and
in
the
ultimate
operations
of
the
IT
infrastructure
that
that
takes
place,
we
also
want
to
ensure
that
we
increase
the
usage
of
tools
that
we
already
have
in
place.
B
In
particular,
we
want
to
provide
better
services
in
ensuring
that
people
understand
how
to
get
to
technology
and
the
capabilities
that
they
can
provide.
We
want
to
be
in
a
position
of
automating
as
many
of
our
business
processes
as
possible,
because
that
leverages
our
staff
and
our
resources
the
most.
We
also
want
to
ensure
that
again
it's
it's
I
tell
my
staff.
It's
like
a
light.
Switch
people
know
they
look
at
it.
They
know
how
what
it's
for.
B
They
know
how
to
turn
it
on
and
the
lights
come
on
when
you
flip
it
on,
and
so
that's
the
way
people
view
technology.
We
take
it
for
granted
that
it
works,
and
then
it
works
efficiently
and
effectively
and
it
does
what
one
expects,
and
so
we
have
to
strive
for
that
same
level
of
accomplishment
with
what
we
do
in
the
IT
department.
B
Obviously,
we
have
an
internal
motivation,
because
we
are
a
higher
of
that
such
talent,
but
we
think
it's
very
healthy
for
the
community.
For
the
business
community
and
for
people
in
general
to
consider
IT
as
career
and
to
help
them
get
that
sort
of
training
and
orientation
could
be
a
possibility
with
their
lives.
B
So,
to
kind
of
wrap
up
an
orientation
of
our
business
plan,
we're
very
focused
on
health
people
in
the
decision-making
processes,
decisions,
whether
that
is
policy
operational
or
what
have
you?
What
we're
looking
for
is
we
feel
that
if
you
will,
we
have
to
digitize
the
city,
understanding
that
that
data
can,
if
it
is
as
real
time
as
possible
and
as
integrated
as
possible,
gives
people
insights
that
they
might
not
otherwise
get
in
support
a
better
decision
making
on
the
part
of
employees
and,
ultimately,
the
departments
that
serve
the
public.
B
D
C
B
Johnson
councilmember
Johnson,
we
have
been
transitioning
from
our
current
provider,
which
is
unisys
21
neck.
Today
we
have
sixty-three
percent
of
the
IP
assets
of
the
city
over
within
the
one
net
world,
we're
almost
a
hundred
percent
staffed
for
the
two
functions
that
we
brought
back
into
the
city,
ie
the
service
desk,
or
if
you
will
to
help
desk,
as
well
as
the
side
support.
B
We
are
on
track
to
have
everything
converted
over
to
one
neck,
the
new
provider
by
the
end
of
november
and
on
november
30th,
when
people
call
the
service
desk
or
they
seek
help
in
their
office.
Those
people
attending
to
that
answering
the
phone
and
showing
up
will
be
city
employees.
So
we
will
be
doing
a
cut
over
to
the
new
provider
at
the
end
of
november.
C
C
C
A
E
E
Essentially,
what
we're
going
to
be
doing
is
keeping
the
committee
structure
in
place,
but
referring
all
of
the
appeals
that
come
to
the
claims
committee
to
the
staff
claims
process,
we
did
have
I
thought
a
very
fulsome
conversation
with
members
of
the
committee
about
whether
or
not
this
was
something
we
should
be
in
the
business
of
doing,
and
we
determined
that
the
risk
management
department,
along
with
the
City
Attorney's
Office,
does
a
very
good
job.
The
number
of
claims
have
been
dropping
substantially.
E
We
only
now
meet
two
times
a
year,
and
then
it
made
sense
for
us
to
now
transition
that
to
the
City
Attorney's
Office,
as
well
as
the
risk
managers
office
and
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
about
that
claims.
Committee
used
to
be
the
committee
that
all
the
junior
members
were
stuck
with
council
president
and
vice
president
and
I
determined
that
we
should
make
the
claims
committee.
E
The
committee
that
the
senior
members
were
serving
on
and
part
of
our
goal
was
to
try
to
figure
out
how
to
do
it
better
and
I
think
this
will
get
us
to
that
point.
That
said,
we
did
take
up
five
claims.
Yesterday.
All
of
them
were
denied,
except
for
item
number
four,
which
was
authorizing
a
payment
to
a
woman
who
had
had
a
fairly
substantial
trip
and
fall
situation
where
she
broke
four
of
her
teeth
and
incurred
twenty
thousand
dollars
in
damages
as
a
result
of
a
defective
sidewalk.
E
So
there
are
5
items
for
us
to
take
up
tomorrow.
The
item
of
the
future
of
the
claims
committee
is
not
in
front
of
the
full
council
because
we're
not
actually
eliminated
the
committee
from
existence
of
the
committee
I'll
stay
in
place
as
it
pertains
to
policy
issues
so
I'm
happy
to
answer
questions
about
any
of
the
claims
items.
A
E
Have
seven
items
in
front
of
us
tomorrow
in
the
community
development
of
regulatory
services
committee
items
one
and
two
and
three
our
land
sales
item
number
four?
Is
the
licenses
and
Consumer
Services
agenda?
These
are
the
business
liquor
and
gambling
license
applications.
Item
5
is
a
licensed
settlement
conference
item.
6
is
a
rental
license.
Reinstatement
and
item
number
seven
is
the
university
after
new
innovation
district
resolution
with
that
I'm
happy
to
move
all
those
items?
Okay
well,
but
tomorrow,
I'm,
sorry
and
I
out,
that's
Friday
and
I'll.
E
Also
notice
consummate
record
was
looking
at
me
funny.
I
know
it
sounds
like
we
took
this
up
already,
but
it's
coming
back
to
us.
After
going
through
zoning
and
planning
in
c
and
pw,
the
innovation
district
has
not
passed
the
full
council.
Yet
it's
been
through
many
many
committees
and
it's
coming
back
to
its
home
committee
for
final
approval.
Okay,.
A
F
Intended
to
be
my
normal
look,
I'm
sorry
if
I
was
looking
at
it's
just
how
I
got
my
guests
of
the
health
environment,
a
community
engagement
committees,
bringing
one
item
forward
on
friday
for
approval,
and
that's
just
authorizing
an
agreement
with
the
center
for
climate
change
in
health
to
accept
thirty
thousand
dollars
to
address
public
health
and
climate
change
in
minneapolis.
We
also
received
a
very
interesting
presentation
about
the
rethink,
your
drink
campaign,
which
people
can
see
online,
but
it
doesn't
take
any
council
action.
So
it's
not
coming
forward.
A
G
F
One
is
authorizing
revenue
agreement
to
do
bomb
detection
services
for
the
University
of
Minnesota
for
the
Vikings
games
and
then
the
second
item
is
to
do
the
same
for
the
college
gopher
football
games
both
of
these
are
at
the
TCF
stadium,
and
the
third
item
is
accepting
a
grant
of
ten
thousand
nine
hundred
eighty
dollars
from
the
Fourth
Judicial
Court
in
hennepin
county
for
continuation
of
officer
and
clerical
support
for
the
DWI
court.
For
one
year.
We
also
heard
a
presentation
at
the
committee.
F
It
was
very
interesting
and
encourage
people
that
should
check
this
out
with
the
police
conduct
oversight.
Commission
submitted
their
recommendations
for
the
body,
camera
policies
and
we
received
that
report
and
it's
some
discussion.
But
there's
no
action.
They'll
be
coming
about
that
to
the
council
on
Friday
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
Okay,.

Thank

We
have
five
items
from
zoning

planning.
The

is
an
interim

for
the
root
sports
center
at
1901
44th
avenue
north.
The
second
is
an
interim

for
an

The
third
is

a
development
project
that
2464
upton
avenue
south
there's
a
lot
of
details
on
the
agenda,
but
this
needed
a
conditional
use
permit
and
we
made
some
adjustments
conditions
to
that
at
the
committee
item.
J
Number
four
is
vacation
of
part
of
an
ally
for
the
church

st.
albert.
The
great
and
item
number
five
was
a
discussion
item
where
we
had
an
update
on
the
124
unit
residential
development
or
that
caliber
palmisano
offered
last
year,
as
well
as
a
staff
direction,
to
provide
some
stricter
scrutiny
around
how
people
were
using
existing
basement
foundations
to
kind
of
get
around
those
rules.
Frankly,
so
those
that
ordinance
has
been
very
successful
in
resulting
in
the
and
the
goals
that
that
that
set
forth.
So
we
will
have
those
five
items
all.
A
Right,
thank
you
with
that.
We
have
concluded
with
our
committee
reports
and
finish
with
our
agenda.
I
want
to
thank
again
so
many
guests
for
being
with
us
today.
I
think
many
of
you,
my
belief,
is,
were
here
for
the
Working
Families
agenda
item
which
we
took
care
of
at
the
very
beginning.
Instead,
our
public
hearing
for
November
tents.
So
thank
you
with
that.
We
are
adjourned.
