Council,
vice-president
glidden,.
B
A
C
A
D
You
mr.
chair
I
just
wanted
to
comment
briefly
on
number
18.
That's
the
Vineland
place
feasibility
study.
I
just
want
to
make
it
clear
that
this
ties.
This
is
a
study
to
do
some
work
next
year
and
there's
money
in
our
proposed
2016
budget
that
I'm
not
yet
fully
comfortable
with.
But
I
am
happy
that
the
walkers
eager
to
look
at
options
here
and
eager
I'm
happy
that
they're
looking
to
do
this
feasibility
study
and
willing
to
reimburse
us
the
amounts
I'll
be
supporting
this,
but
I'm
not
yet
comfortable
with
the
whole
project.
Cadre.
C
A
B
A
E
Thank
You,
chair,
Quincy
comes
the
vice
president
glidden.
In
response
to
your
question.
The
2.5
million
dollars
being
requested
as
part
of
this
action
is
the
result
of
an
action
taken
during
the
2015
budget
adoption
whereby
the
Affordable
Housing
Trust
Fund
recommended
budget
was
requested
to
be
supplemented
with
an
additional
two
and
a
half
million
dollars
from
the
city's.
B
Okay,
so
then
I
guess
my
question
is:
why
are
we
moving
2.5
from
the
contingency
amount
if
we
don't
even
have
anticipated
that
amount
to
be
utilized
in
2016?
So
it
seems
to
me
that
that
is
not
what
our
budget
action
requested
and
maybe
I
need
to
review
that
language
and
I
don't
know
if
mr.
Clevenger
has
other
time,
as
this
does
seem
a
little
bit
more
about
what
was
the
budget
action
and
what
are
we
going
to
get
to
this
year?
Mr.
F
Council
chair
members,
like
committee,
the
idea
was
this
year:
there
was
a
few
projects
that
came
in
that
we
deemed
were
too
high
in
development
costs
and
that
they
were
taking
its.
We
had,
they
had
some
opportunities
to
restrain
their
application,
so
the
request
for
that
was
that
so
because
the
city
trust
fund
is
often
a
first
source
into
projects
in
that
we
often
are
the
leader
in
city
projects
that
we
find
are
important.
B
So,
if
I'm
not
mistaken,
though
what
miss
christensen
said
that
would
take
us
up
to
1.6
of
so
we're
using
900,000
of
the
contingency
fund
to
fund
the
recommendations
coming
forward
today
and
in
in
this
item,
then
those
additional
projects
would
take
us
up
to
1.6
million
dollars.
No
I
misunderstanding
then,
what's
so,
I
need
a
better
understanding,
and
maybe
we
need
this
in
writing
as
well
as
a
follow-up
to
this
meeting.
I
would
really
like
to
know
what's
being
proposed.
E
Chair
Quincy
council,
vice-president
glidden,
the
action
before
you
today
seeks
to
appropriate
the
full
2.5
million
dollars,
with
the
understanding
that
nine
hundred
thousand
dollars
of
those
source
resources
would
be
utilized
in
15,
and
the
remaining
funds
would
be
carried
forward
for
future
allocation
pending
the
resubmission
of
the
project
applications
as
mr.
Clevenger
articulated
well.
B
That's
what
I
was
trying
to
understand
was
I
understood
the
900,000
I'm
asking
how
much
these
additional
projects
will
utilize
and
I
guess
I
can
see.
The
eye
can
see
the
theory
to
that
they
were.
They
came
forward.
You
asked
them
to
improve
their
their
proposals
to
the
city.
I
think
it's
reasonable
to
think.
If
they
meet
those
requirements,
we
can
see
how
the
city
helps
leverage
their
projects,
but
oh.
F
So
I'll
another
point
maybe
I
should
have
made
all
three
of
these
projects
are
important
projects
to
the
city,
but
they
are
somewhat
early
in
the
process.
We
felt
that
we
would
be
able
to
partially
fund
them
too.
That's
why
we
also
felt
comfortable
requesting
at
one
point
six,
because
that
would
allow
us
to
interact
and
be
a
present
part
of
that
negotiation
with
other
lenders
and
partners
and
also
be
able
to
have
an
opportunity
strengthen
those
applications.
B
G
B
F
B
F
B
H
You
mr.
chair
I,
remember
this
discussion
very
clearly
from
the
budget
and,
and
frankly
was
not
a
huge
fan
of
using
development
fund
dollars
in
a
one-time
way
in
the
trust
fund.
I
would
prefer
us
to
find
a
more
sustainable
source
of
trust
fund
dollars
than
moving
money
around
in
this
way.
That
is,
you
know
and
identified
for
other
priorities,
and
why
would
we
not
then
appropriate
1.6
million
dollars
and
2016?
E
Chair
fancy
councilmember
bender.
That
discussion
was
held
with
the
community
development
and
regulatory
services
committee
and
with
the
pending
projects,
there
was
a
recommendation
to
appropriate
the
full
amount.
The
full
amount
would
not
necessarily
need
to
be
appropriated
today,
because
there
isn't
asked
to
spend
it
when
the
additional
projects
are
brought
forward
for
recommendation
later
in
2016
or
at
whatever
time
that
they
have
met
the
criteria
of
the
selection
committee.
Those
remaining
funds
could
also
be
appropriated
at
that
time
they
aren't
necessary
to
be
appropriate
for
the
purposes
listed
out
in
this
particular
action.
B
B
Cd
right,
I,
I,
guess
I'll
just
eldest
note.
I'm
not
sure
that
I
have
another
recommendation
right
now
on
this,
but
I
probably
will
abstain
myself
and
maybe
want
to
to
meet
with
mr.
Clevenger
about
this.
I
will
tell
you:
I
am
kind
of
bothered
about
this
item
with
the
twenty
five
hundred
dollars
and
it
seems
like
there's
some
additional
information
that
may
be.
B
B
F
Was
set
up
somewhat
before
my
time,
but
as
a
contingency
for
this
very
action.
It's
not
taking
money
away
from
any
other
source,
but
that
it
was
directed
towards
the
trust
fund
if
it
was
deemed
that
we
needed
it
and
we
received
over
15
million
dollars
in
applications
this
year.
So
we
wanted
to
be
the
best
steward
of
the
little
bit
amount
of
money
that
we
receive
as
we
got
so
many
qualified
applications
so
that
this
money
wasn't
which
we're
not
asking
for
my
be
moved
around.
F
H
E
A
Well,
in
light
of
that
conversation
because
I'm
very
comfortable
with
this
action
having
SAT
through
some
of
the
CD
committee
meetings
but
as
well
as
going
through
the
affordable
housing
trust
fund
applications,
I
thought.
The
committee
did
a
really
good
job
of
identifying
the
projects
that,
frankly,
weren't
quite
ready
to
go
yet
whether
they
didn't
have
site
control
or
other
project
readiness.
But
the
role
of
these
funds
in
many
cases
is,
as
you
indicated
mr.
Clevenger's,
to
be
that
prime,
the
pump
with
other
funding
and
to
leverage
other
funding,
especially
with
MP
or
MH
ave.
A
So
I
think
I'd
like
to
move
this
forward
with
for
approval
understanding
that
council
vice-president
glidden
would
be
abstaining
on
this
particular
vote
and
then
seeing
if
we
can
have
some
more
direct
input
from
seed
bed
as
well
as
finance
officers
on
whether
we
may
make
me
to
make
some
technical
amendments
at
the
council
meeting
on
Friday.
For
that
simple,
we'll
wait
for
that
action
to
come
back
when
council,
member
Goodman
is
is
available.
A
Let's
see
I
think
that
leads
us
to
our
next
item.
It's
on
a
discussion
item
I,
know
I,
wonder
if
Miss
Siegel
could
join
us.
This
is
going
to
be
for
the
burn
criminal
justice.
Innovation
grant
acceptance
normally
taking
money
is
a
easy
thing
for
this
committee
to
do
and
155
thousand
dollars
is
terrific
work,
so
I'm
going
to
allow
you
to
talk
about
why
we
should
be
taking
this
great
fortunate.
Mr.
G
Chair
and
members
of
the
committee,
thank
you
so
much
for
giving
us
a
few
minutes
to
talk
about
this
grant.
We
are
just
so
excited
to
embark
on
this
work.
It's
going
to
be
a
lot
of
work
on,
but
but
I
think
it.
It
will
hold
a
lot
of
promise,
and
so
our
office
led
the
way
in
Jennifer.
Saunders
really
did
all
the
legwork
pulling
pushing
task
mastering.
I
G
Pull
the
grant
proposal
together,
she's
our
3rd
precinct
community
attorney
that
I've
got
Robert.
Liljegren
here
was
going
to
talk
a
bit
about
lillard's
former
council
vice
president
and
executive
director
of
little
earth
now
for
a
year,
so
we
have
great.
We
have
great
partners
with
this.
This
is
a
planning
grant
that
we
rewarded.
There
were
only
15
of
these
awarded
across
the
country.
G
The
city
was
awarded
one
a
year
ago
approximately
to
dive
into
a
research,
qualitative
research,
community
engagement
and
looking
at
the
crime
drivers
in
the
in
North
Minneapolis
in
the
violent
crime
hotspots
and
by
the
end
of
this
year.
I
believe
they
will
be
pulling
together
an
implementation
plan
going
forward
to
reduce
the
levels
of
violence
in
those
hot
spots.
So
we
can
learn
from
from
their
experience
over
this
last
year
and
really
focus
in
on
little
earth
of
United
tribes.
G
And
I'm
going
to
have
Robert
talk
a
little
bit
about
little
earth,
but
it's
a
unique
place
in
the
nation.
It
is
the
only
HUD
subsidized
Native,
American
preference
housing
community
in
the
country,
it's
in
a
defined
area,
so
that
presents
exciting
opportunities
as
well
to
make
a
difference.
It
has
approximately
over
a
thousand
residents
and
half
of
the
residents
of
the
community.
G
That
area
around
little
earth
constitutes
one
of
those
and
if
you
see
a
little
black
line
along
the
side
of
the
little
earth
community,
there
that's
stately
Street,
and
that
one
street
segment
has
consistently
over
the
last
25
years
in
the
number
one
spot
for
shootings
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis.
So
there's
just
an
ongoing
issue.
G
You
know
let
Robert
talk
a
little
more
about
it,
littler
than
and
the
challenges,
but
it
also
has
numerous
strengths
and
we
have
very
and
have
had
very
strong
partnership
with
little
earth
and
its
leadership,
not
only
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
the
Minneapolis
Police
Department,
our
office,
the
Hennepin
County
Attorney's,
Office,
Hennepin,
human
services
etc,
and
there
are
a
lot
of
strengths
in
the
community.
I
mean
little
earth
itself
was
founded
on
through
Native
American,
organizing
and
activism.
So
there's
a
lot
of
cause
for
hope.
G
I'm
already
in
place,
we've
been
an
active
participant,
help
manage
the
court
watch
program.
There
we've
been
active
on
with
domestic
violence.
There's
an
advocate
present
there
hennepin
county
has
the
Omni
Chi
program
in
little
earth
itself,
invest
over
250
thousand
dollars
a
year
just
on
safety
and
trying
to
keep
the
community
safe.
So
this
grant
will
allow
us
to
dive
in
see,
what's
working,
what's
not
understand
more
about
why
and
really
to
work
with
the
grassroots
up
approach
of
community
engagement,
and
so
we're
going
to
do
all
this.
G
In
18
months,
we've
got
partners
in
place
and
one
of
the
the
most
promising
pieces
of
this
project
is
that
it
includes
a
chunk
of
the
funding,
will
go
to
little
earth
to
higher
position
for
a
community
safety
champion
and
a
community
education
coordinator.
So
it
really
will
be
a
community-driven
community,
lad,
initiative
and
little
earth
will
own
the
research
data,
not
the
researchers.
When
all
is
said,
when
all
is
said
and
done,
it'll
be
their
data
and
I'm.
A
I
It
was
a
lot
of
work
to
get
this
grant
application
in
and
there's
a
lot
of
excitement
in
the
little
earth
community
and
amongst
our
cross
sector
partnership
as
wall,
so
I
thought
I
would
just
go,
give
a
little
background
on
little
earth
and
then
talk
about
the
community
activities
around
the
grant
and
the
capacity
that
we're
building
within
little
earth
and
so
little
earth
is
was
built
in
nineteen.
Seventy
three
and
since
is
Miss
Eagle
indicated
it
was
built.
I
As
Miss
ego
mentioned,
they
are
credibly
resilient
industrious,
entrepreneurial
community
and
it
also
brings
some
challenges
when
you
have
a
highly
concentrated
population
that
lives
daily
with
the
impacts
of
historical
trauma,
cultural
trauma,
early
childhood
exposure
to
violence
and
and
those
kinds
of
things
and
as
Miss
Siegel
indicated
little
earth
is
a
national
model.
People
looked
a
little
worth
for
how
to
address
issues
within
the
urban
Indian,
community
and
and
I.
I
Think
books
on
this
committee
know
that
there
are
these
cities
throughout
the
country
with
these
well-established
native
populations
due
to
federal
worker
relocation
program
of
the
last
century.
So
cities
like
Denver,
Seattle,
Portland,
Los,
Angeles
Albuquerque
all
have
these
concentrated
native
populations
that
Lou
Minneapolis
has
the
only
little
earth
and
because
of
that,
it
really
becomes
sort
of
a
laboratory
for
trying
to
find
solutions.
I
When
you
consider
the
history
of
little
earth
and
it
literally
emerged
from
community
and
community
activism,
this
is
a
big
lack,
and
so
through
this
last
year
we
saw
additional
funds
or
redirected
existing
funds
to
better
engage
the
community
and
positive
change.
One
of
those
things
was
to
create
an
employment
program
that
educates
residents
in
community,
organizing
preparing
them
to
take
entry-level
community,
organizing
positions
within
other
organizations,
but
also
teaching
them
teaching
residents
about
community
development
and
leadership,
and
this
cadre
of
community
leaders.
They
call
themselves.
I
The
community
building
team
has
really
taken
the
lead
in
organizing
the
community
around
a
number
of
research
projects
and
participatory
action.
Research
projects
and
thus
model
is
becoming
very,
very
good
for
little
earth,
in
that
it
allows
the
residents
to
engage
in
the
positive
change
in
the
community
while
studying
the
root
causes
of
of
some
of
the
challenges
in
the
community
and
its
really
drawn
a
lot
of
attention
nationally.
I
There's
sort
of
a
history
within
the
Native
community,
broadly
and
certainly
little
earth
of
researchers
sort
of
coming
in
and
doing
their
research
taking
their
data
away,
and
then
the
community
never
really
knows
what
happened
to
it
or
how
how
it
had
impact
in
their
lives.
And
so
this
maintaining
the
ownership
of
the
data
through
the
projects
is,
is
a
cool
and
kind
of
new
thing.
With
our
research
partners,
Hamline
University,
Metro,
State
University.
They
are
willingly
embracing
embracing
this
model,
and
so
the
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
I
This
is
incredibly
needed
in
our
community
I'm,
a
Philips
guy
of
Anna
Philip
sky
for
33
years
and
in
other
parts
of
Billups
we've
seen
significant
and
more
or
less
permanent
reductions
in
crime
were
actually
preventing
crime
at
little
earth.
We
haven't
seen
anywhere
near
the
reductions
we
haven't
on
the
rest
of
the
Philips
area,
and
so
my
sense
is
with
this
grant
award.
We
also
received
a
small
grant
from
the
neighborhood
weenie
relations
department,
organized
block
clubs
within
little
earth
and
putting
those
fundamental
pieces
of
community
policing
infrastructure
in
place.
I
A
Thank
you
very
much.
Don't
remember.
Im
was
interested
in
the
ownership
of
the
research
data
becoming
as
a
research
guy
sure
I've
always
been
intrigued
by
who
owns
the
data
and
what
is
done
with
that
information
by
owning
it.
You
have
access
to
use
it
again
in
future
years,
as
you'll
be
able
to
build
on
it,
make
a
longitudinal
research
data
collection
and
there
should
be
a
fascinating
project.
Correct.
I
I
Of
course,
as
part
as
owner
of
the
data
is
part
of
any
publication
presentation
that
data
may
be
used
for
in
the
future
and
we're
already
seeing
that
in
some
of
the
other
work
that
we've
done
with
other
research
partners,
papers
are
being
published,
dissertations
are
being
published
and
little
earth
the
lower
name
and
the
little
earth
participation
carries
on
into
the
future.
Very.
B
Thanks
mr.
chair
well,
I
just
wanted
to
say:
congratulations,
I
know
that
the
city
is
very
excited
about
this
partnership
and
I
know
I
heard
from
Susan
when
you
learned
of
the
award-
and
she
was
just
very
excited
about
this
upper
unity-
to
work
even
more
deeply
together
with
little
earth.
I.
Think
it's
interesting
that
this
is
the
innovation
program
and
and
little
earth
is
such
an
innovative
model.
And
so
it's
going
to
be
interesting.
B
How
this
pans
out
of
the
other
thing,
I
will
say,
is
I
had
not
realized
until
kind
of
hearing
from
you
that
the
kind
of
capacity
building
around
organizing
efforts
and
just
had
not
happened
within
the
community
there
and
so
I
think
this
is
a
real
opportunity
to
see
what
more
targeted
investment
where
the
community
owned
the
products
that
will
come
from
that.
How
that
ends
up
affecting
what
may
be
sort
of,
hopefully,
some
systemic
models
for
change.
Right.
I
So
good
mr.
council,
vice-president
glidden
the
I
sent
around
a
clip
of
a
video
to
the
committee
members
that
was
taken
or
produced
by
the
3rd
precinct,
and
it
was
in
response
to
a
recent
shooting
incident
at
littler
than
working
with
inspector
Sullivan
of
the
3rd
precinct
to
his
very
eager
to
build
better
relationships
until
the
little
earth
community
about
10
officers
who
went
door-to-door
in
an
organized
effort.
That
was
really
spearheaded
by
the
youth.
I
I
That
visual
part
of
the
strengthening
of
the
relationships
there,
I
think
is-
is
huge
progress.
It's
huge
progress
and
and
you're
right
about
the
innovation.
These
other
communities
within
the
u.s.
other
native
urban
Native
communities
will
be
looking
to
littler
to
see
what
kind
of
progress
we
make
here
and
how
the
model
can
be
transported.
H
You
mr.
chair,
this
sounds
amazing
and
I
have
full
confidence
in
our
city,
attorney's
office
and
mr.
Liljegren
and
little
Earth's,
but
I
have
seen
critiques
of
of
burn
grants
in
general
and
maybe
a
bit
of
a
disconnect
between
what
the
federal
gov
is
requesting
for
performance
measures
around
and
I.
Think
it's
really
a
different
kind
of
grantham
or
their
implementation
funding
and
in
this
program,
seems
very
intentionally
to
be
designed.
You
know
to
solicit
from
the
community
and
to
be
very
preventative
in
nature,
but
you
know
the
critiques
are
about.
I
And
I
might
look
to
the
city's
Attorney's
Office,
but
just
these
are
this.
Innovation
program
is
a
fairly
recent
program
and
so
it's
to
do
exactly
what
you
said.
Council
members
to
engage
the
community
and
hopefully
move
towards
a
plan
that
will
have
more
sustained
in
different
outcomes,
much
less
of
an
emphasis
on
enforcement
and
more
of
an
emphasis
on
community
engagement
in
getting
to
those
root
causes
of
crime
and
addressing
those.
But
as
far
as
the
reporting,
those
I
would
certainly
turn
to
that.
City
Attorney's
Office.
G
Mr.
chair
and
councilmember
bender
a
erase
book
question,
but
the
program
has
been
designed.
First
of
all,
this
is
a
planning
grant
to
develop
the
implementation
plan,
but
really
using
evidence-based
best
practices
with
with
with
kind
of
the
new
vision
of
not
just
looking
at
enforcement.
But
but
are
you
really
moving
the
dial
and
the
things
that
matter
and
engaging
the
community
in
a
positive
way
to
help?
G
You
know
as
a
critical
partner
in
trying
to
create
additional
safety,
so
I
have
confidence
that
going
forward
in
the
future,
as
we
start
implementing
this,
if
we
were
to
get
an
implementation
grant
a
year
from
now,
for
example
that
that
that
they
would
not
be
requiring
and
how
many
drug
arrests
have
you
done
as
a
measure
of
anything,
and
we
would
be
identifying
through
the
research
through
this
project.
What
we
think
are
the
drivers,
what
we
think
are
the
measurables
and
how
we
can
really
improve
the
safety
and
overall
health
of
the
community.
I
Mr.
Charcot's
member
bender,
if
I
may
also
what's
going
on
in
the
broader
Native
community,
but
certainly
a
little
as
well
as
a
growing
awareness
of
the
importance
of
a
pound,
a
shin
of
tradition,
culture,
language
native
spirituality,
within
all
of
our
programming,
but
certainly
within
this.
And
so
what
you'll
see
at
the
end
is
a
plan
very
specific
to
little
earth
to
the
kind
drivers
there
that
have
engaged
the
residence
inn
in
creating
that
plan
and
then
in
implementing
it.
Thank.
H
A
Mr.
liljegren,
a
number
of
times,
you've
mentioned
youth
I,
think
a
seagull
mentioned
it
as
well.
Can
you
tell
me
how
this
planning
grant
funds
may
be
integrating
with
other
youth
work?
The
city
is
doing
in
addition
in
little
earth,
I'm
speaking
specifically
of
the
neighborhood
work,
more,
the
school's
south
high
school,
etc.
Other
charter
schools?
How
is
that
going
to
be
integrated
with
the
work
that
they're
doing
Thank.
I
You
mr.
chair,
then
committee
members,
the
to
the
cities
of
blueprint
and
youth
violence.
We
really
engaging
the
Health
Department
there'll,
be
a
partner
here
as
well,
and
violence
prevention
staff
will
be
part
of
the
team.
The
reason
the
team
up
steering
team,
we
haven't
discussed
how
we're
going
to
integrate
it
with
the
schools.
Yet
we've
had
maybe
one
or
no
to
I,
guess
planning
meeting,
since
we
got
news
up
that
grant
award
and
so
I
think.
The
idea
of
broadening
the
impact
by
engaging
the
schools
is
a
good
one.
I
I
will
say
recently
within
maybe
the
last
two
months
we
brought
on
staff
at
little
or
at
the
school
success
coordinator,
who
is
really
broadening
and
deepening
the
partnerships
both
with
minneapolis
public
school
and
indian,
add
but
other
education
partners.
Partners
as
well
and
little
earth
does
have
significant
youth
programming
that
we
can
and
a
youth
development
center
that
houses
that
programming
that
will
be
able
to
engage
the
youth
directly.
H
I
Often
because
these
are
young
people
who
are
raised
with
a
stronger
awareness
of
of
native
identity,
culture,
history,
language,
it's
often
the
young
people
who
are
out
in
front
in
difficult
conversations
about
dealing
with
the
impacts
of
historical
trauma,
and
it's
really
where
a
lot
of
the
strength
of
the
community
is
coming
from.
This
tu
very.
C
A
Like
good
I
thought,
it
would
be
good
to
have
the
chair
of
the
Public
Safety
Committee
lead
this
work
because
it's
about
public
safety.
So
thank
you
for
that
motion
on
councilmember
Yang's
motion,
all
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye
and
opposed.
Apparently
it
passes
unanimously
as
anticipated.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
work,
especially
miss
honors
on
developing
this
grant
proposal
and
and
we're
looking
forward
to
it
successful
implementation.
So
thank
you
seeing
no
further
business
before
this
committee.
We
are
adjourned.
