From YouTube: December 7, 2016 Committee of the Whole
Description
Minneapolis Committee of the Whole Meeting
A
Good
morning,
I
am
calling
to
order
our
regularly
scheduled
meeting
of
the
committee
of
the
whole.
My
name
is
Elizabeth
glidden
I'm,
the
chair
of
this
committee
and
I
am
joined
today
by
council
members,
Gordon
Cano,
Reich,
vendor
fry
Andrew,
Johnson
Quincy,
where
Sami
Goodman
council,
president
johnson
and
councilmember
palmisano.
We
are
a
quorum
of
the
committee
and
we
have
three
items
of
business
on
the
committee
of
the
whole
agenda
for
today.
The
first
two
are
consent
items
and
I'll,
read
those
and
then
move
them
together.
A
The
first
item
is
setting
a
public
hearing
for
january
11th
2017
in
the
committee
to
hold
to
consider
amendment
to
the
safe
and
sick
time
and
extended
ordinance
relating
to
extended
employment
programs.
This
would
be
to
consider
an
ordinance
amending
title
to
chapter
40
of
the
Minneapolis
code
of
ordinances
relating
to
administration,
workplace
regulations,
exempting
certain
state
subsidized
extended
employment
programs
from
coverage
under
the
requirements
of
chapter
40.
A
Item
number
two
is
receiving
and
filing
the
2015
annual
report
of
the
Minneapolis
ethical
practices
board,
and
I
will
move
items
one
and
two:
is
there
any
discussion
on
those
items
seeing
none
on
approval?
Please
say:
aye
aye
opposed
and
those
items
are
approved.
We
have
one
item
for
discussion
and
this
is
our
regularly
scheduled
our
quarterly
report
on
the
2016,
sick
and
save
time,
ordinance
and
so
I
believe
Miss
corbel
is
going
to
lead
us
through
this
discussion.
B
So
good
morning,
Kelsey
vice
president
glidden
and
committee
members,
my
name
is
Velma
corbel
and
I
am
the
director
in
the
minneapolis
department
of
civil
rights
and
as
mentioned,
we
are
here
to
request,
receive
and
file
of
our
second
quarterly
report
that
we
are
required
to
present
to
committee
of
the
whole
as
of
a
staff
direction
back
when
this
ordinance
was
initially
passed
in
May
of
this
year.
Just
as
a
reminder,
this
is
the
staff
direction
on
the
screen.
B
Advisory
Committee
prepared
sin
to
business
mailing
and
begin
to
draft
the
enforcement
rules.
With
regard
to
developing
and
branding
our
key
communication
pieces,
we
talked
last
quarter
about
the
website,
a
checklist,
a
poster
for
businesses
and
also
our
presentation
materials,
and
we
continue
to
try
to
refine
those.
B
We
have
actually
secured
the
services
of
one
of
our
milestones,
secure
the
services
of
a
graphic
designer
to
actually
make
those
a
little
bit
more
accessible,
well,
a
lot
more
accessible,
but
also
a
lot
nicer
in
terms
of
how
we
intend
to
communicate
with
folks
in
the
community
affected
by
this
ordinance.
With
regard
to
the
workplace,
Advisory
Committee,
we
continue
to
receive
applications
to
that
committee
and
we
are
just
trying
to
create
the
right
balance
of
membership
on
that
group
before
bringing
a
slate
of
individuals
to
the
committee
for
approval
we,
so
that
is
ongoing.
B
We
sent
a
business
mailing
to
about
16,000
business
addresses
on
the
week
of
November
21st
and
that
seemingly
has
been
well
received.
We
have
been
getting
some
feedback
as
a
result
of
that,
but
I
will
talk
about
that
here
when
we
a
little
bit
later
in
the
presentation
and
then
again,
the
enforcement
rules
a
milestones.
This
quarter
again
the
business
mailing
to
16,000
Minneapolis
businesses,
the
services
of
a
facilitator
for
our
engagement
and
outreach,
and
also
the
graphic
designer
we
engaged
with
members
of
the
previous
workplace
regulations.
Partnership
group.
B
I
mentioned
our
second
quarter
or
feedback,
as
we've
been
getting
questions
either
through
our
email
address
through
a
phone
number
or
through
311.
Since
the
adoption
of
the
ordinance
we've
gotten
about
67
questions
or
comments,
you'll
see
how
those
questions
and
comments
break
down
on
the
screen.
Since
the
letter
to
the
16,000
businesses
went
out
the
week
of
November
21st
about
half
or
around
30
between
30
and
35
of
those
inquiries
have
been
as
a
result
of
the
letter
going
out.
B
I
understand
that
most
of
those
inquiries
have
been
about
tracking
a
sick
and
save
time
for
employees.
There's
also
been
no
that
expected
and
understandable
push
back
against
the
actual
creation
of
the
ordinance,
but
for
the
most
part,
people
are
really
just
asking
questions
about
what's
in
the
ordinance
and
how
it
affects
their
their
business,
our
objectives,
the
next
quarter.
We
want
to
finalize
our
communications
pieces.
We
want
to
begin
conducting
listening
sessions
for
employers
and
employees.
We
want
to
release
the
FAQ.
B
B
They've
received
multiple
reviews
by
the
City
Attorney's
Office,
and
we
will
continue
to
to
engage
with
the
city
attorney
to
over
to
provide
some
oversight
into
the
narrative
that
we're
putting
out
to
the
community.
The
purpose
of
the
listening
session
in
our
first
one
is
business.
Focus
will
happen
on
December.
A
Right,
thank
you
very
much
and
I'll,
just
as
I
haven't
seen
questions
from
Council
members,
but
I'll
just
ask
again
before
we
close
up
this
item.
Does
anybody
have
any
points
of
interest
or
other
feedback
or
questions,
and
I'm
not
seeing
any?
So.
Thank
you
very
much
for
that
report.
It's
good
for
us
to
stay
connected
to
this
process.
That
I
know
is
taking
a
lot
of
energy
and
time,
and
so
thank
you
for
that
work
and
the
water
by
and
watch
loss
as
well
and
you're
all
of
your
staff.
A
I
know
many
are
working
on
this
around
the
city
as
well,
so
with
that
I
think
we
just
receive
and
file
the
presentation
on
approval.
Please
say
aye
aye
opposed
and
that
item
is
approved.
Next
we
go
to
our
reports
of
committees
and
the
first
is
the
community
development
and
regulatory
services
committee
by
chaired
by
a
council
member
Goodman.
Thank.
C
You,
madam
vice
president,
there
are
23
items
that
we're
going
to
be
bringing
forward
for
approval
tomorrow
tomorrow
and
Friday,
including
a
large
number
of
well
known
issues.
So
we'll
start
with
item
number
one,
which
is
the
City
Council's
confirmation
of
Greg
Ross
as
the
new
executive
director
of
the
mph
a.
I
would
ask
folks
to
feel
free
to
come
talk
to
me
about
that.
C
There
was
some
concern
expressed
in
a
letter
recently
from
the
Glendale
residence
with
regard
to
the
process,
and
although
I
didn't
set
up
the
process,
I
served
on
the
committee
and
I'm
happy
to
talk
about
what
the
process
is.
I'll
also
note
that
everyone
was
invited
to
come
meet
mr.
Ross
the
morning
prior
to
the
confirmation
and
a
majority
of
people
on
the
council
did
do
that
and
I.
Thank
you
for
that
items.
Two.
Three.
Four.
Five,
six
seven
eight
are
all
land
sales
item.
C
Nine
is
a
it's
actually
quite
a
major
change
through
business
made
simple
to
our
food
license
requirement
ordinance.
There
are
a
lot
of
changes
being
made
as
a
result
of
the
elms
process,
and
so
this
is
to
help
streamline
applications
under
business
made
simple
for
food
licenses.
Item
11
is
a
motor
vehicle
garage
denial
under
its
rejecting
their
license.
Essentially,
item
11
is
a
rental
dwelling,
license,
revocation
12
or
the
regular
liquor
business
and
gambling
license
applications
item
13
is
a
license.
Amendment
for
pennies
coffee
14
as
a
rental
license.
C
Reinstatement
15
is
a
grant
degree
with
an
open
County
for
the
Cedar
Riverside
opportunity
center.
So
that's
really
good
news
item.
16
is
acknowledging
an
LCD
a
grant
for
both
the
Indian
neighborhood
club
expansion
and
the
many
hot
on
homes
project
which
I'll
note
again
is
the
public
housing
project.
That's
partnering
with
the
city
in
the
12th
ward
item.
C
17
is
the
carryover
of
our
housing
revenue
entitlement
bonds
and,
although
many
of
you
have
heard
about
kind
of
the
chaos,
the
bond
market
is
in
as
a
result
of
the
change
in
president-
and
we
probably
will
ask
for
an
update
in
committee
about
what's
happening
with
both
with
all
of
our
entitlement
revenue
bond
programs
that
fund,
affordable
housing
in
2017
item
18
is
our
ESG
recommendations,
which
is
the
emergency
shelter
grant
recommendations.
Item
19
is
a
rental
license
denial
item.
20
is
a
nuisance
condition:
property
waiver.
C
D
C
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I.
Don't
intend
to
trigger
a
massive
debate
right
now
about
the
intentional
communities
ordinance.
It
was
excessively
discussed
there
during
cd-rs
and
I,
provided
my
opinion.
There.
I
do
continue
to
have
very
significant
concerns
about
a
significant
portion
of
the
ordinance
I'm,
a
hundred
percent
on
board,
with
the
increased
occupancy
levels
and
and
getting
rid
of
the
limits.
E
A
D
F
D
My
concern
again
is
not
in
the
lifting
of
the
occupancy
levels:
I'm
all
for
intentional
communities,
I'm
all
for
unintentional
communities,
I'm
all
for
allowing
additional
people
to
occupy
a
space
so
long
as
it's
inspected
beforehand,
and
they
have
the
proper
amount
of
lighting.
They
have
the
proper
amount
of
square
footage
and
it
checks
out
on
all
of
our
regulatory
requirements
for
one
hundred
percent
for
it.
Here's
my
issue
c
1
through
5,
says
for
purposes
of
this
section.
D
A
family
may
include
a
group
of
two
or
more
unrelated
adults
living
together
and
dwelling
unit
when
operating
is
intentional
community
factors
that
shall
be
considered.
It
makes
explicit
note
of
this.
It
says
she'll
be
considered
in
determining
whether
a
group
operates
as
an
intentional
community
include,
and
it
lists
five
things,
including.
D
Whether
the
members
of
the
household
share
the
entire
dwelling
unit,
whether
the
members
of
the
household,
have
have
rules
a
democratic
governance,
maintenance
responsibilities
and
household
issues,
so
in
other
words,
there's
there's
like
an
election
in
there
adopting
a
constitution
and
or
charter
three,
whether
the
members
of
the
household
unit
share
as
their
legal
address
for
purposes,
including,
but
not
limited
to
voter
registration.
So
this
is
something
that
we're
apparently
looking
into
driver's
license
or
identification
purposes
of
I'm,
assuming
that
address
motor
vehicle
registration
and
the
filing
of
recent
receipt
of
tax
documents.
D
This
is
stuff
that
we're
going
to
be
considered
for
whether
the
group
is
transient
or
temporary
in
nature
and
I,
don't
know
exactly
how
that's
defined
and
five,
whether
the
members
of
the
household
share
expenses
for
food,
rent
ownership
costs
utilities
and
other
household
expenses.
So
first
I'll
make
the
argument
that
will
ask
a
question.
D
Here's
the
thing,
let's
be
really
clear.
If
we're
going
to
be
doing
all
of
these
things,
I
would
argue,
argue
adamantly
that
we
should
not
I
think
this
is
going
to
get
us
into
all
sorts
of
trouble.
I
feel
like
bias,
and
even
potentially
racism
can
come
into
play,
were
going
to
be
checking
out
if
somebody's
motor
vehicle
registration
we're
going
to
be
checking
their
voter
registration
to
see
that
they're
registered
at
this
particular
address.
This
is
opening
us
up
to
all
sorts
of
problems.
D
So
if
we're
going
to
be
enforcing-
and
I
should
say
we
should
be-
and
if
we're
not
going
to
be
enforcing
it,
let's
not
have
the
language
in
their
laws
matter.
Words
matter
and
the
best
way
to
undermine
government
is
to
pass
laws
that
can't
be
or
won't
be
enforced,
and
that's
precisely
what
we're
doing
here.
So
my
question
is
simple:
are
we
going
to
be
enforcing
these
things
and,
if
not,
let's
not
have
them
in
there.
A
E
You
very
much
and
I'm
happy
to
talk
about
this.
The
key
to
those
items
that
were
red
is
our
effort
to
define
what
an
intentional
community
is.
Other
cities
have
done
this
and
they
call
it
something
like
a
functional
family
or
they
have
different
terms
for
it,
and
essentially
people
would
be
self
identifying
and
they
would
want
to
know
well.
E
What
is
an
intentional
community
and
we've
listed
some
things
that
aren't
required,
but
they
shall
be
considered
in
determining
whether
or
not
you're
functioning
as
an
intentional
community
and
they'll
be
considered
by
the
person
the
group
applying
to
do
so.
They'll
look
at
those
and
they'll
say
yeah.
We
can
share
the
entire
unit,
or
else
they'll
say:
oh,
no,
we're
all
on
a
bunch
of
separate
little
apartment
buildings.
E
I
guess
we
are
really
an
intentional
community
and
those
factors
can
also
be
used
and
considered
if
we
have
to
make
a
call
on
whether
or
not
this
is
an
intentional
community.
The
way
the
ordinance
is
set
up
and
if
you
look
at
the
later
section,
people
will
fill
out
an
application
much
as
people
might
fill
out
a
form
right
now
saying
that
we
are
domestic
partners
and
we
want
to
rage
with
the
city.
So
they
fill
that
out
there
claiming
that
they
are.
E
We
can
give
them
a
definition
of
what
that
means,
and
then
they
may
bring
that
to
the
city,
and
this
is
the
same
here
in
this
case,
because
people
are
concerned
about
it.
We're
asked
actually
asking
them
to
go
and
get
a
notarized
statement,
I'm
saying
the
ANA
testing
that
they're
doing
it
so
we're
taking
people
at
their
word
and
then
also.
If
there's
questions
later,
we
can
go
back
and
we
can
look
at
well.
E
Here's
the
items
we're
supposed
to
consider
and
if
you
actually
look
beyond
that,
then
there's
also
some
things
that
we
would
consider.
It
would
indicate
that
you're,
not
if
we,
if
you're
operating
as
a
rooming
house,
there's
some
weight
instances
where
you
can't
be
function
as
an
intentional
community.
Oh
they're,
listed
later.
E
So
these
are
things
that
shall
be
considered
by
the
person
of
the
group
applying
and
also,
if
it
comes
to
enforcing
it,
yeah
absolutely
they
can
be
considered,
but
no
we're
not
requiring
it
doesn't
say
shall
be
required
to
do
the
following.
It
says
these
are
factors
that
shall
be
considered
in
determining
whether
a
group
operates
as
an
intentional
community
or
not,
and
we
I'll
just
note
that
these
weren't
identified
lightly
there
were
lots
of
discussions.
There
were
lots
of
community
meetings.
There
was
a
coalition
of
groups
interested
in
doing
this.
G
You,
madam
chair,
I,
think
it's
important
that
we
have
this
discussion,
because,
while
this
particular
proposal
has
been
described
in
some
contexts
as
an
incremental
step
toward
relooking
at
our
occupancy
rates,
I
think
it
has
a
lot
of
underlying
assumptions
that
are
troubling
to
me
as
well
and
I.
Think
it's
important
to
remember
the
history
of
zoning
and
of
housing
policy
in
our
city
and
across
the
country
and
to
acknowledge
that
when
we're
making
decisions,
we
recently
designated
an
historic
district.
G
That
was
one
of
the
first
integrated
housing
developments
in
the
country
and
before
that
there
were
all
kinds
of
rules
in
place.
Covenants
and
zoning
restrictions
that
segregated
our
city
and
were
racially
exclusionary,
and
that
is
the
history
of
zoning
and
housing
policy
in
our
city
and
across
the
country,
and
so
I
think
that
the
thing
that
concerns
me,
the
most
about
the
list
of
requirements
is
the
assumptions
it
makes
about
why
people
live
together
and
the
impacts
of
people
living
together
on
their
neighbors.
G
It
makes
the
assumption
that
if
you
share
chores
or
you
have
a
democratic
governance
in
your
home
within
the
walls
of
your
own
home,
ostensibly
that
you'll
be
a
better
neighbor
to
folks
next
door
across
the
street.
And
you
know:
I
live
in
a
neighborhood,
that's
filled
with
people
living
in
all
different
kinds
of
homes
and
shapes
and
sizes.
I
happen
to
live
in
a
single-family
home,
and
my
neighbors
have
many
many
people
in
a
building.
That's
about
the
same
size
and
they're
not
louder
than
then.
We
are
they're,
not
troublesome.
G
Who
gets
to
live
together
to
ask
them
to
notarize
their
situation
inside
the
walls
of
their
homes
and
to
rather
take
a
look
at.
Why
we
think
we
need
to
regulate
how
many
people
live
within
a
building
in
a
configuration?
Why
is
it
okay
for
folks
to
live
in
an
apartment
building
as
long
as
it
has
walls
but
not
live
together
and
a
big
old,
beautiful
home
together
if
they
choose
to
do
so?
Why
do
we
care
if
they
have
shared
chores
I,
think
it
again
goes
back
to
the
assumptions
that
we
are
making
about?
G
A
D
The
answer
to
the
question
as
to
whether
items
see
one
through
five
will
be
enforced.
The
answer
is
very
clearly:
no,
they
will
not
if
they
were
to
be
enforced.
I
would
absolutely
vote
against
them,
because
I
think
the
implications
are
horrible
and
since
they
are
clearly
not
going
to
be
enforced,
I
don't
know
why
we're
gonna
have
them
in
there.
You
know
I.
Think
I.
I
I'm
you
I,
understand
the
effort.
I
understand
there
was
a
long
community
engagement
process
and
I
appreciate.
D
I
really
sincerely
do
appreciate
all
the
work
that
council
members,
Gordon
and
and
Goodman
have
put
into
this,
but
the
quickest
way
to
erode
the
confidence
in
government
is
to
pass
laws
that
can't
be
enforced
and
that
won't
be
enforced
and
we're
explicitly
saying
on
the
Dyess
here
that
these
are
not
requirements
and
they
won't
be
enforced.
If
that's
the
case,
let's
be
really
honest
with
ourselves
and
take
these
items
out.
C
You,
madam
chair
I,
take
exception
to
the
arguments.
This
won't
be
enforced.
Someone
who
comes
in
and
says
I
want
to
be
an
intentional
community
and
I'm.
A
landlord
and
I
have
10
people
who
are
coming
to
live
with
me
and
doesn't
have
any
of
the
other
kinds
of
things
in
line
that
intentional
communities
need
won't,
get
the
won't
get
licensed
to
be
an
intentional
community,
so
it
will
be
enforced.
C
Unfortunately,
we
often
have
to
put
regulations
in
place
to
predict
what
the
worst
people
will
do
instead
of
the
best
people-
and
there
is
a
legitimate
concern
in
the
community
that
this
is
just
a
way
for
bad
landlords
to
get
around
occupancy
requirements.
So
what
I
would
say
more
than
anything
else
is
don't
get
rid
of
the
good
in
lieu
of
the
great.
This
is
a
good
thing
for
people
who
live
in
coops.
This
is
a
good
thing
for
people
who
currently
live
under
the
radar
in
intentional
communities.
D
D
I,
don't
have
a
problem
with
d:
I,
don't
have
a
problem
with
their
with
the
requirements
as
far
as
the
notarization
and
I
certainly
don't
have
a
requirement
that
our
inspectors
go
into
the
building
beforehand,
to
make
sure
that
it's
up
to
code
people
aren't
living
in
hard
conditions
and
that
we
don't
and
that
they're
making
sure
that
landlords
are
not
our
are
not
we're,
not
letting
them
take
advantage
of
the
neighborhood
and
the
people
living
in
the
building
I'm.
All
for
that,
the
items
again
looks.
We
got
to
be
specific.
D
E
Also
think
the
ordinance
says
their
items
that
shall
be
considered
and
I
think
that's
the
that's
the
hair
that
we're
trying
to
split
here.
I.
Think
if
you
look
at
definitions
of
many
other
types
of
land
use
or
things,
how
do
we
define
a
group
residential
facility?
How
do
we
define
a
lodging
establishment?
E
How
do
we
define
a
fraternity
in
a
sorority?
We
have
definitions
there
that
then
are
interpreted.
What
we're
giving
here
is
guidance
of
what
intentional
community
is,
and
these
are
factors
that
need
to
be
taken
into
consideration.
I
I
think
all
our
ordinances
could
probably
always
be
perfected
and
improved
upon
and
I
understand
that
councilmember
Fry
has
some
particular
issues
with
this
section
of
this
ordinance.
I'll
be
read
it
and
I'll.
Look
at
it
over
again
and
I'll.
E
G
Bender,
thank
you,
madam
chair
I.
Just
wanted
to
be
more
specific
as
well
and
I.
Think
if
that
it's
a
fine
point
that
this
is
the
ordinance
that's
in
front
of
us,
we
don't
have
an
ordinance
in
front
of
us,
that's
taking
on
the
overall
issue
of
occupancy,
but
I
just
wanted
to
walk
through
my
concerns
about
these
specific
items.
G
So,
whether
or
not
members
of
the
household
share
the
whole
dwelling
unit
and
function
as
a
single
housekeeping
unit-
and
you
know
I'm
concerned
that
that's
over
each
I,
don't
know
why
we
need
to
require
that
members
of
the
household
haven't
adopted,
set
of
rules
covering
democratic
governance,
meeting
maintenance
responsibilities
and
other
household
issues
again.
I.
Think
that's
over
each
I'm
concerned
about
requiring
that
folks
use
their
legal
address
when
that
is
not
true.
In
other
places,
I
think
a
lot
of
people
register
to
vote
that
they're.
G
You
know
parents,
house,
or
something
and
I,
don't
know
why
we
want
to
require
voter
registration
in
a
certain
location
for
individuals
living
in
the
particular
way.
Whether
or
not
the
group
is
transient
or
temporary
in
nature.
I
guess
I
would
ask
the
authors:
I
could
do
that
offline
about
why
they
won
your
calendar.
Your
piece
was
included,
and
then
you
know,
why
did
whether
or
not
members
of
the
household
share
expenses
for
food,
rent
or
ownership
of
cost
of
utilities,
in
particular
the
food
portion?
Again,
it's
just.
It's
almost
sounds
ridiculous.
A
E
Thank
you
very
much,
madam
vice
president,
the
health
environment
and
community
engagement
committee
will
be
bringing
forward
nine
items
for
approval
on
Friday.
The
first
is
approving
appointments
to
the
community
environmental
Advisory
Commission,
there's
council
and
mayoral
appointments.
The
second
is
directing
city
coordinator
staff
to
report
back
on
our
green
zones
workgroup.
E
They
came
and
gave
us
a
report
at
the
committee,
because
that
was
when
we
were
expecting
the
policy
to
be
done,
but
it
wasn't
completed
so
they've
been
directed
to
come
back
in
March,
non
strategies
developed
by
other
jurisdictions
to
make
green
zone
improvements,
and
the
third
item
is
a
approving
the
2017
2019
American,
with
Disabilities
Act
action
plan.
We
had
a
lot
of
discussion
about
that
and
I'm
working
on
that
for
a
long
time.
So
that's
a
fairly
significant
piece
of
work.
E
Second
item
is
our
2016
a
burden
community
relations
to
Department
diversity
survey
reports.
There
were
two
reports:
we
surveyed
the
UN
advisory
boards
and
commissions
if
the
city
has
as
well
as
the
neighbors
and
organizations.
The
item
is
clean
energy
partner
gift
acceptance
from
excel
in
Center,
Point
gee,
ten
thousand
dollars
each.
You
move
forward
with
some
work
of
the
Community
Energy
Partnership
and
doing
community
engagement
for
efficiency.
Six
item
is
a
contract
with
pace
analytic
services
for
letting
Healthy
Homes
Program.
E
This
is
authorizing
an
agreement
with
pace
in
amount
not
to
exceed
120
thousand
dollars
to
provide
those
services.
For
us,
seventh
item
is
accepting
a
grant
from
the
school-based
Health
Alliance
for
national
quality
initiative
for
screen
health
services.
The
eight
item
is
a
contract
with
volunteers
of
america
for
community
health
worker
services
not
to
exceed
240
$1,500.
E
E
This
will
be
our
next
to
community
solar
garden
that
the
city
will
be
involved
in
the
also
as
part
of
that
we're
directing
finance
and
property
services
staff
to
explore
a
final
or
a
third
I
guess:
community
solar
requests
for
proposals
that
would
allow
more
Minneapolis
residents
and
businesses
to
participate,
including
those
with
low
and
moderate
income.
That's
customers
I
also
wanted
to
mention
that
I'm
planning
on
walking
on
an
item
adding
it
to
the
agenda.
This
has
to
do
with
the
MPCA
that
has
come
forward.
I
guess
they're
reaching
a
settlement.
E
They
put
out
a
public
statement
and
also
they
met
with
me
and
City
Attorney's,
Office
and
councilmember
yang.
Talking
about
this,
wanting
the
city
to
join
and
participate
in
their
lawsuit
having
to
do
with
northern
metals
and
so
I'll
be
bringing
a
motion
on
Friday
I.
Think
that
the
the
MPC
A's
press
releases
may
share
with
everybody
at
this
point
and
I'm
stand
for
questions
on
any
of
those.
A
Thank
you,
I'm,
not
seeing
any
questions.
Next,
we
have
intergovernmental
relations
committee
reports
for
this.
There
were
four
items
on
the
agenda
and
the
first
one
is
a
significant
item
in
that
it
requires
unanimous
consent
of
the
City
Council.
It
is
titled
the
plain
language
charter,
technical
amendment
ordinance
in
the
intergovernmental
relations
committee.
We
heard
a
very
thorough
report
from
City
Attorney
Bert
Osborne,
who
is
also
staff
to
the
Charter
Commission,
going
through
all
of
the
technical
amendments.
Essentially,
these
are
some
items
that
do
to
the
plain
language
charter.
Amendment
as
a
whole
were.
A
A
This
is
the
shorter
list
of
select
priority
items
that
would
be
the
focus
of
our
staffs
work
at
the
capital
that
could
later
be
amended
in
light
of
changes
that
we
need
to
be
engaged
on
and
then
items
three
and
four
are
contracts
for
State,
Legislative,
Services
and
I'll
stand
for
questions
I'm,
not
seeing
any.
So
next
we
have
the
Public
Safety
civil
rights
and
emergency
management
committee
and
I
I
understand
that
councilor
Yang
is
ill
today
and
councilmember
Gordon
is
the
vice
chair,
Beck.
E
Thank

madam
vice

rights
and
emergency
management
committees
bringing
forward
six
items
for
approval.

children
on
vulnerable
adults,
the
amount
of
five
hundred
and
twenty-five
thousand
dollars
and
a
little
more.
The
next
item
is
authorizing
the
middle

an
application
to
the
Minnesota
Department
of
Public
Safety
for
sex
trafficking
and
training.
Grant

final

of
a
