Description
Minneapolis Intergovernmental Relations Committee Meeting
A
Good
morning
I
am
calling
together
our
meeting
of
the
intergovernmental
relations
committee.
We
are
meeting
at
a
special
time
today
and
my
name
is
elizabeth
glidden,
I'm
the
chair
of
this
committee
and
I'm
joined
today
by
council
members
for
sami
council
president
johnson
come
from
econo
and
customer
Andrew
Johnson
and
member
fried
as
well,
and
we
are
a
quorum
of
the
committee.
We
have
one
major
item
on
our
agenda
for
today.
A
This
is
a
referral
from
the
council
meeting
two
of
last
cycle
to
this
committee
regarding
the
indigenous
resistance
to
Dakota
access
pipeline
resolution
with
councilmember
Cano
as
the
chief
author,
and
we
have
two
speakers
that
councillor
Cano
has
helped
identify
and
I
think
that
we
wanted
to
start
with
some
introductions
from
the
co-chairs
of
the
metropolitan
urban
Indian
directors,
group,
Monica,
Flores
and
dr.
Joe
robot,
and
so
welcome.
B
Thank
you,
madam
vice
president.
My
name
is
dr..
Joe
ho
bata
currently
serve
as
the
chairperson
for
the
Metropolitan
urban
Indian
directors
group,
also
in
the
president
and
CEO
of
American
Indian
oye
SI,
the
metropolitan
indian
directors
group,
as
you
may
be
well
lawyer,
has
a
memorandum
of
agreement
with
the
city
of
Minneapolis.
At
our
convening
yesterday
we
came
through
a
unanimous
decision
to
voice
our
opposition
to
the
construction
of
the
Dakota
access
pipeline
under
the
grounds
of
protecting
our
water
and
our
ecosystems.
B
In
and
around
the
Standing
Rock
reservation,
my
family
are
enrolled
members
of
the
Standing
Rock
reservation.
This
is
a
direct
threat
not
only
to
the
water
and
the
ecosystems
of
the
surrounding
areas
of
standing
rock
but
potentially
serves
as
a
threat
to
the
surrounding
areas
through
a
large
aquifer
that
contributes
to
much
of
the
drinking
water
for
America,
in
addition
to
mud,
vocalizing
its
opposition
to
the
construction
of
the
dapple.
We
also
wanted
to
support
the
actions
that
were
taken
by
this
body
on
August
nineteenth
led
by
councilmember
Connell.
B
C
Flores
and
I'm,
the
executive
director
of
big
ewing,
community
development
loan
fund
in
the
co-chair
to
mud,
I'm,
actually
I'm
from
standing
rock
reservation
and
I
just
kind
of
wanted
to
bring
up
some
of
our
treaty
rights,
the
1868
fort
laramie
treaty
that
was
signed
by
the
u.s.
state
government
and
also
that
we
should
respect
those
treaty
rights
and
also
that
there
is
also
a
the
Preservation
Act
and
nagra
that
we
haven't
taken
into
consideration
also,
but
it's
going
to
affect
more
than
just
indigenous
people.
B
Nice
little
pieces
I'd
like
to
add,
as
president
CEO
of
American
Indian
OIC,
our
focus
as
an
organization
is
unemployment
and
education.
Labor
is
important
to
our
people
into
our
community,
but
in
certain
circumstances
we
need
to
consider
a
larger
concern:
the
well-being
of
our
ecosystems
and
our
fresh
water.
Even
my
favorite
union
members
drink
fresh
water.
So
we
need
to
consider
that
in
certain
circumstances
we
need
to
protect
our
environment
and
the
jobs
will
be
there.
The
jobs
will
come.
B
C
A
We
next
I
think
have
a
presentation
on
some
environmental
issues.
Would
you
like
to
introduce
yourself
to
the
committee
person
sure.
D
I'm
rather
tall
so
I'm,
going
to
justice,
I'm
Cathy,
Hollander
I'm,
with
Minnesota
350
I
lead
the
pipeline
team
at
Minnesota.
350
I
also
work
at
the
legislature
and
I've
one
of
the
founding
members
of
citizens.
Acting
for
rail
safety
in
the
Twin
Cities
I'm,
very
much
aware
of
the
rail
issues,
councilmember
glint
and
I'm
just
unsure.
Am
I
doing
an
introduction,
or
am
I
actually
doing
my
presentation?
I.
D
Great
is
an
existing
that
so
yeah
so
I
know.
I
would
just
like
to
speak
to
the
amazing
journey.
It
has
been
for
me
as
an
older
white
woman,
I'm
sorry
middle
class
to
learn
about
the
struggle
of
the
indigenous
people.
I
have
done
that
through
pipeline
work,
I
have
been
with
Minnesota
350
for
over
three
and
a
half
years.
I
am
a
full-time
volunteer.
I
was
certainly
aware
of
racial
justice
issues
in
the
Twin
Cities
area,
but
I
just
wasn't
as
aware
of
the
issues
that
concern
Native
Americans
through
pipeline
work.
D
I
have
learned
about
leech
lake
white
earth
nation,
fond
du
lac.
Many
of
the
tribes
here
in
Minnesota,
who
are
experiencing
many
many
years
of
being
put
down
I,
don't
know
how
to
say
that
and
who
have
had
pipe
lines
running
through
their
lands
as
well,
who
have
suffered
through
many
pipeline
spills
through
no
fault
of
their
own.
In
one
case,
there
wasn't
even
an
easement
from
the
pipeline
company
for
many
many
years
of
pipelines
running
through
their
lands.
D
D
I
apologize
to
that,
but
I
very
much,
no
pipelines
so
I
just
want
to
mention
how
much
and
how
important
it
is
to
me
to
learn
over
the
five
hundred
years
of
history
that
we
settlers
the
history
we
have
imposed
upon
the
native
people,
and
it
is
not
pretty
long
time
ago
when
I
was
a
student
I,
remember,
I
tried
to
read,
bury
my
heart
at
wounded
and
I
was
not
even
able
to
complete
the
book
because
it
was
so
awful
I
just
couldn't
keep
reading
it.
So
why
do
I
care?
D
Why
do
I
think
we
should
get
involved?
Why
do
I
think
we
should
support
this
resolution?
I?
Think
it's
justice
for
Native
people?
That's
one
of
the
issues
for
me,
I
think
water
is
at
risk,
I
think
there's
no
economic
case
for
the
pipeline
and
I
think
all
pipelines
leaked
so
I'm
going
to
go
back
to
the
beginning
of
my
presentation.
We
were
just
kind
of
sharing
points
there.
This
pipeline
is
proposed
to
carry
about
half
a
million
barrels
of
oil
a
day
across
the
Mississippi.
D
Excuse
me
across
the
Missouri
River
twice.
I
would
just
like
to
point
out
you.
What
is
a
half
a
million
barrels
a
day
of
oil?
Look
like
this.
Is
our
state
fair
season
stickers
been
breaking
all
records.
If
you
took
three
days
of
attendance
of
the
state
fair
and
you
pretended,
each
person
was
like
a
barrel
of
oil,
three
days
worth
of
people,
all
those
people
crossing
the
missouri
river
twice
every
day
of
the
year.
D
That's
what
this
pipeline
looks
like
that's
how
much
oil
this
is
I,
don't
know
if
you
know
where
the
Standing
Rock
reservation
is
so
I
have
some
slides
up
here.
Briefly,
the
red
arrow
on
the
left
points
to
the
fact
that
the
encampment
is
currently
at
the
confluence
of
Two
Rivers.
It
is
a
Missouri
River
in
the
Cannonball
river.
It
is
a
beautiful
historic
site.
One
of
our
people
who
have
been
there
gave
me
a
quote.
She
wasn't
comfortable
speaking,
but
she
said
just
how
peaceful
it
was.
It
was
unbelievable.
D
I
would
say
that
Standing
Rock
is
one
of
the
most
serene
landscapes
I
have
ever
seen
on
this
earth.
Every
night
I
looked
up
at
the
bright
stars,
and
each
morning
I
stepped
out
of
my
tent
that
overlooked
the
Areth
row
river
in
fields
I
began
to
understand
why
the
tribe
was
in
so
much
pain,
for
they
are
connected
to
the
land
and
way
more
than
any
of
us
on
the
right
side.
This
little
graph
that
I
have
up
here,
also
shows
the
Standing
Rock
reservation.
D
It
is
the
top
right,
yellow,
dark,
yellow
point
previous
treaties
that
have
been
violated
by
white
men.
Aren't
the
lighter,
yellow.
Now
there
you
will
also
notice
that
their
reservation
is
bordered
on
the
right
as
we're
looking
at
this
slide
by
the
Missouri
River
I
will
note
that
the
water
intake
for
the
Missouri
or
the
water
crossing
for
the
Missouri
River
is
a
half
a
mile
north
of
this
reservation,
and
it
was
moved
from
by
bismarck
north
dakota
because
they
didn't
want
to
possibly
impale
the
water
intake
for
bismarck.
D
It
was
moved
to
closer
to
the
reservation
that
is
criminal.
This
again
is
a
beautiful
landscape
of
standing
rock
and
the
confluence
of
the
rivers.
Our
indigenous
speakers
have
spoken
to
the
fact
that
they
are
water
protectors,
particularly
the
woman
view
themselves,
as
protectors
of
the
water.
Many
of
us
have
been
with
Sharon
day
along
water
walks
here
in
the
Twin
Cities
and
in
Minnesota
and
Wisconsin.
D
The
camp
is
peaceful,
they
aren't
are
unarmed,
beautiful,
serene
landscape.
I
would
like
to
talk
a
little
bit
too
about
some
other
facts
about
pipelines.
All
pipelines
leaked.
We
know
that
pipelines
stay
in
the
ground
for
60
years.
These
are
man-made
they're
made
of
steel,
they're
layered
laid
in
water.
They
leak
there's
a
leak
on
the
left
of
cohasset.
The
oil
was
burned
off
to
prevent
it
from
reaching
the
Mississippi
River.
The
leak
on
the
right
was
one
of
the
largest
spills
we've
ever
seen.
It
was
in
Tioga,
North
Dakota.
D
It
was
caused
by
lightning
and
it
leaked
an
extraordinary
amount
of
oil
and
the
oil
was
not
discovered
for
a
long
time.
Most
pipeline
leaks
are
phone
by
people
walking
and
in
rural
areas.
This
is
exceedingly
difficult
to
find
a
leak.
Despite
having
pipeline
safety
systems,
most
leaks
are
found
by
people
again,
I
speak
to
justice
for
the
native
people.
This
is
a
many
people
who
have
been
here
who
are
sitting
behind
me
have
been
to
this
camp.
They
can
speak
to
the
fact
that
it
is
peaceful.
D
There
have
been
some
news
reports
that
in
fact
it
was
not
peaceful.
That
is
not
the
case.
I
would
like
to
speak
to
the
worldwide
glut
of
oil.
I
don't
know
if
you
know
it,
then
some
of
these
slides
I've
added
a
couple
now,
because
this
issue
has
gotten
so
contentious.
So
added
a
few
more
slides.
There
is
an
80
year
high
of
oil
stored
in
the
united
states
80
years,
we've
never
had
so
much
oil
stored
and
they
have
built
a
lot
more
storage
in
the
last
year's
to
try
to
hold
more
of
this.
D
We
have
a
glut
of
oil
on
the
market.
I
can't
see
this
some
of
the
slides,
I
guess
you're,
seeing
them
here's
an
example
to
as
well.
This
is
shows
you,
the
overwhelming
amount
of
oil
that
restoring
the
red
line
on
the
top
is
where
we
currently
are
at.
We
are
storing
more
oil
than
ever
before.
It
fluctuates
daily
right
there.
It
indicated
the
drop
of
250.
I
think
it
was
thousands
barrels
and
that
was
corrected
the
next
week.
D
They
were
right
back
up
to
that
much
oil
again,
there's
a
glut
of
oil
being
stored
in
Minnesota,
it's
being
stored
on
rail
cars
as
well,
and
there's
a
glutton
Cushing
Oklahoma
and
other
storage
facilities.
Couple
more
charts,
I'm.
Sorry,
my
background
is
computer
technical
analysts
so
I
have
some
charts
for
you.
D
You
can't
take
the
ones
and
zeros
out
of
a
person
on
the
left.
Is
the
oils
price
drop
it
drop
started
dropping
in
about
October
of
2014
on
the
right?
We
notice
a
correlation.
Why
did
that
oil
price
drop
on
the
right?
You
can
see
that
the
oil
storage
started
going
up
about
the
exact
same
time.
The
reason
the
oil
price
is
dropping
solo
is
that
there's
so
much
in
the
world
and
as
you've
noticed,
the
oil
price
has
been
fluctuating
a
little
bit,
but
it's
still
low
it's
staying
low.
D
This
is
a
chart
that
we
received
from
our.
It
comes
from
the
energy
information
agency.
One
of
the
lawyers
that
we
work
with
gave
us
information.
You
can
see
that
crude
oil,
rail
shipments
are
dropping.
They
are
dropping
independent
of
pipelines
being
built.
They
are
dropping
because
the
market
cannot
sustain
this
much
oil
in
the
world.
More
oil
is
being
pulled
out
of
the
ground
than
what
is
needed.
Demand
is
soft.
More
countries
are
coming
online
to
pull
oil
out
and
again
as
a
justice
point
of
view.
D
What
really
bothers
me
as
a
person
of
faith
is
that
many
of
the
impoverished
countries
of
the
world
Nigeria
Venezuela
other
countries
that
could
really
use
the
revenue
are
being
hurt
terribly
by
these
drops
in
oil
prices,
because
the
US
can
the
US
oil
producers
want
to
pull
more
of
the
US
oil
out
of
the
ground,
put
it
on
the
market,
it's
hurting
the
world.
This
is
another
justice
issue.
So
again,
rail
is
dropping
pad.
2
is
a
fancy
way
of
saying
the
Midwest.
This
one
was
East
Coast.
D
This
one
is
across
the
United
States
the
whole
USA.
How
much
oil
is
actually,
for
example,
coming
from
the
Midwest
North
Dakota
to
the
entire
US,
so
this
would
include
shipments
to
western
United,
States,
eastern
United,
States
and
Gulf
Coast's.
This
one
is
specifically
going
through
Midwest
because
in
through
Minnesota,
because
it's
coming
from
North
Dakota
into
Minnesota
to
the
east
coast,
you
can
see
it's
dropped
significantly.
It
had
nothing
to
do
with
pipelines
being
built.
It
has
to
do
with
the
market.
D
The
fact
that
there's
more
oil
in
the
world
than
is
needed
laws
of
supply
and
demand
again,
these
are
some
of
the
shots.
At
Standing
Rock
there's
been
an
unprecedented
rise
in
the
number
of
people
who
are
coming
to
this
reservation.
I
think
people
are
starting
to
stand
up
to
wake
up
saying:
where
is
the
economic
justice
in
this
issue,
and
where
is
the
economic
base
for
this
pipeline?
D
I'd
also
like
to
point
out
Minnesota
350
works
on
climate
change.
If
you're
not
aware
of
it,
climate
change,
you
know,
is
a
huge
issue.
Even
Secretary
of
State
John
Kerry
rates
it
as
number
two
for
the
United
States.
The
Department
of
Defense
has
said
that
this
is
a
threat,
multiplier
things
that
were
ready,
starting
to
break
or
crack
or
have
problems
with
them.
Climate
change
is
going
to
exasperate
them.
D
2015
was
the
hottest
year
on
record.
2014
was
the
hottest
year
before
that
2016
is
scheduled
to
be
even
hotter
than
2014
I
looked
up
the
fastest
warming
cities
in
the
United
States
I
was
surprised
in
the
top
100
to
find
Duluth
Minneapolis,
st.
Paul
and
Moorhead.
If
you
don't
know
it,
in
Moorhead,
in
July
of
2011
Moorhead
had
the
highest
in
heat
index
of
the
entire
world.
Global
warming
is
here.
It
is
happening
in
Minnesota
if
we
want
to
keep
our
wall
I.
D
If
we
want
to
keep
our
cisco,
if
we
want
to
keep
our
northern
Minnesota
forests,
we
have
to
recognize
that
global
warming
is
happening.
There
are
solutions.
I
have
here
a
picture
of
the
young
folks
at
the
Standing
Rock
when
President
Obama
came
and
visited
them.
The
solutions
lion
renewable
energy.
This
is
our
long-term
strategy.
This
is
where
we
need
to
go
as
rapidly
as
possible.
D
D
I
have
a
quote
here
that
I
just
think
it's
a
fantastic
quote:
the
people
have
gathered
for
a
cause
and
that
causes
to
stop
the
oil
pipeline
called
Dakota
access
pipeline
sacred,
stone,
camp
I,
thank
them
from
the
bottom
of
my
heart,
for
what
they're
doing
and
many
of
us
have
gone
and
joined
them.
I
wish
I
was
one
of
them,
but
many
of
these
people
in
these
room
have
I
have
a
couple
of
other
slides
but
they're,
not
here.
Okay,
sorry,
it's
not
on
a
particular
drive.
D
E
Thank
you,
so
much
comes
from
member
glidden,
so,
first
of
all,
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
everyone.
That's
here
today
to
talk
about
this
issue
and
be
a
part
of
this
presentation.
I
want
to
acknowledge.
I
will
be
asking
you
questions.
You
have
to
come
back
up,
but
I
do
want
to
acknowledge
the
folks
from
little
earth
who
are
here
and
the
families
and
youth
from
that
community
who
have
come
here
to
express
their
support,
as
well
as
the
core
directors
of
the
metropolitan
urban
Indian
directors
group.
E
The
work
that
I've
seen
folks
put
into
this
is
impressive
and
and
I
know
that
you
do
it
because
you,
you
love
our
communities
and
you
want
to
be
able
to
have
a
home
for
all
of
us
here
on
mother
earth
for
many
generations
to
come.
So
thank
you
very
much
to
MN
350
and
M
pirg
honor
the
earth
and
the
many
other
organizations
that
have
gotten
together
to
support
the
indigenous
communities
in
resistance
to
to
this
pipeline.
D
Are
many
connections
between
this
issue
in
Minnesota?
As
you
may
be
aware,
Enbridge
Energy
proposed
a
Sandpiper
pipeline
across
northern
Minnesota
and
they
had
a
partner
with
them
called
marathon
petroleum
in
this
project.
Without
that
partner
they
were
not
able
to
show
our
justifiable
link
for
the
pipeline.
I
would
like
to
say
the
other
people
have
proposed
pipelines
across
northern
Minnesota
as
well,
notably.
The
Koch
brothers,
for
example,
proposed
a
pipeline
in
2014.
They
pulled
out
because
they
said
there
was
not
sufficient
shipper
interest.
D
Even
when
Enbridge
proposed
the
Sandpiper
pipeline
at
the
Federal
Energy
Regulatory
Agency
delightful
midnight
reading,
you
can
see
that
there
were
many
shippers
who
expressed
deep
concern
that
there
would
not
be
sufficient
chipper
capacity
to
justify
the
cost
of
the
pipeline.
So
that's
one
thing
I
would
say
I
would
also
say
through
the
pipeline
worked
in
here
in
minnesota.
Many
groups
have
learned
to
share
each
other's
stories
to
learn
each
other's
narratives
and
have
learned
to
respect
the
indigenous
people
wisdom.
D
So
many
of
us
have
gone
or
many
people
have
gone
to
Standing
Rock,
simply
because
of
our
deep
learning
we
have
done
in
Minnesota.
Our
recognition
that
the
wild
rice
is
so
important
to
these
people's
culture
and
the
recognition
of
a
water
how
important
water-
those
of
you
who
have
been
on
a
Sharon
day,
walk
know
that
the
women
are
protectors
of
the
water.
How
critical
water
is
this?
A
beautiful
water
fill
landscaped.
It
is
it's
you
know.
Let's
see,
it
was
called
the
fertile
crescent
of
North
America.
Also.
D
We
know
that
Native
Americans
there
have
agricultural
sites
burial
sites.
The
process
in
Minnesota
included
a
Minnesota's
Court
of
Appeals
case.
That
was
one
that
said
that
there
should
be
a
full
environmental
impact
statement
done
before
you
run
a
pipeline
through
water,
rich
areas.
This
did
not
take
place
in
North
Dakota.
D
Excuse
me,
however,
you
pronounce
that
and
a
boat
landing
ramps,
so
they
did
not
give
the
pipeline
any
kind
of
the
sufficient
scrutiny
that
was
being
done
here
in
Minnesota
and
our
Court
of
Appeals.
You
know
verify
that
a
complete
environmental
impact
statement
should
be
done
in
accordance
with
the
National
Environmental
Policy
Act.
What
other
people
like
to
speak
to
this
question
that
I
did
not
mention
items
I.
A
B
Our
community
is
our
family's.
My
family's
from
standing
rock
this
moment
in
time
is
not
new
to
us.
This
is
foretold
to
us
in
our
prophecy,
so
we're
ready
for
it
and
I
think
there's
been
ancillary
discussions
about
if
this
is
blocked
in
this
particular
area.
Will
this
mean
greater
freight
transit
in
and
around
the
Minneapolis
area?
We
cannot
lead
through
a
position
of
fear
and
we're
not
afraid
to
take
that
challenge
on
as
well,
but
in
the
here
and
now
we
need
to
protect
our
art
sovereign
lands.
B
E
E
And
you
know
I
was
very
glad
to
see
that
many
of
the
youth
and
staff
of
little
earth
were
planning
to
go
to
the
to
the
camp
and
and
support
their
relatives
efforts
there,
and
this
is
the
very
least
that
we
can
do
as
a
city
council
to
support
this
issue.
I
wish
we
could
do
more
and
I
think
that
we
have
to
create
more
relationships
with
the
folks
in
the
unions
and
the
labors,
the
labor
movement,
who
are
working
on
this
issue
in
different
ways.
We
know
there's
a
Bluegreen
alliance.
E
We
know
that
there
are
other
folks
who
are
do
represent
the
labor
movement
that
went
to
the
climate
change
discussions
in
Paris
last
year
and
there
there's
just
a
lot
of
fertile
ground
for
us
to
explore
together,
because
the
bottom
line
is
is
if
we
don't
have
the
earth,
we're
not
going
to
have
unions
and
we're
not
going
to
have
people
on
on
earth,
and
so
I
do
want
to
just
challenge
that
false
dichotomy
between
that
people.
Try
to
pit
unions
against
the
environmental
movement
or
the
indigenous
community
against
jobs.
And
that's
really
not
true.
E
It's
not
true.
We
are
all
humans.
We
need
to
work
together
to
figure
out
how
we're
going
to
preserve
and
protect
our
earth
and
I
think
that
we
need
to
figure
out.
How
are
we
bringing
that
conversation
together
at
the
state
level
at
the
federal
level,
at
the
local
level,
to
ensure
that
we're
building
relationships
with
our
Union
brothers
and
sisters
and
ensuring
that
we
have
a
unified
plan
to
transition
fully
enforce
Phylly
into
a
fossil
free
future?
E
E
So
I
am
having
one
of
those
meetings
next
week
and
I
encourage
all
of
you
to
to
build
that
back
ground
and
those
relationships
to
ensure
that
when
this
issue
comes
up
again,
we
can
all
be
unified
asking
for
resources
and
a
Marshall
Plan
to
actually
get
us
off
of
fossil
fuels
within
the
next
15
to
20
years.
So
with
that,
I
would
like
to
move
this
item
forward
for
approval
for
our
full
City
Council.
This
Friday,
ok,.
A
Thank
You
councilmember
Cano,
so
approval
of
the
resolution
before
us
has
been
moved.
I
just
want
to
note
that
representative
ray
Dean
had
been
here
and
had
joined
us
and
I
think
had
to
leave
before
the
end
of
this
meeting
its,
and
we
are
also
joined
by
a
cosmic-
am
Gordon
who's,
not
a
member
of
this
committee,
but
has
been
paying
attention
to
this
issue.
A
I
know
very
carefully
I'm
looking
to
see
if
there
are
others
who
would
like
to
make
a
comment:
caliber
sami
income
and
former
council
member
Robert
liljegren
is
here
too
I
understand
in
the
back
okay,
so
we
can
acknowledge.
Okay,
the
signs
are
there:
okay,
apologize
all
right
and
then
I
would
just
say
and
I
know.
I
think
comes
from
econo
for
acknowledging
this,
but
thank
you
to
so
many
people
for
coming
here
and
taking
your
time
and
joining
us
in
this
space
so
that
we
could
understand
how
important
this
issue
is
to
you.
A
A
I
am
a
supporter
of
this
action,
as
it's
been
posed
by
councilmember,
Cano
I
think
it
is
very
significant
that
we
have
heard
from
the
community
at
large
from
so
many
from
our
indigenous
communities
within
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
and
also
that
we've
heard
from
some
of
our
very
important
stakeholders,
including
mud
I'll,
just
call
that
out,
because
we
have
a
special
relationship
through
our
member
and
a
memorandum
of
understanding
and
I.
Think
as
well,
that
that
is
important
that
we
have
heard
from
these
stakeholders.
A
I
also
want
to
say
that
in
Minneapolis
we
have
a
history
of
strong
environmental
positions
and
so
I
think
to
kind
of
see
kind
of
these
issues
go
hand
in
hand
of
standing
with
our
indigenous
communities
standing
with
our
residents,
but
also
keeping
our
our
history
of
strong
environmental
positions.
I
think
is,
is
also
significant.
A
It's
a
false
choice
to
say
you
know
it's
going
to
be
more
real
Freight
if
it's
not
more
pipeline
I
have
not
seen
any
promises
of
a
reduction
in
rail
freight,
and
we
know
quite
honestly
that
promises
from
rail
companies
are
very
hard
to
come
by
so
I'll
just
say
in
Minneapolis.
We
know
that
well
so
without
further
ado,
I
not
see
another
request
for
comment
from
council
members.
So
on
approval,
please
say:
aye
aye
all
opposed,
and
that
item
is
approved
by
this
committee.
It
will
go
forward
to
the
full
council
on
Friday.
Thank.
A
We
do
have
on
the
agenda
some
place
holders
that
we
often
have
so
I'm,
just
looking
at
our
G
Ranieri
who
directs
our
intergovernmental
relations
so
I'm,
assuming
we
don't
have
any
necessary
updates
after
this
ok
and
then
we
were
expecting
a
visit
from
representative
Keith,
Ellison
and
I
think
you
will
join
us
at
another
time
so
with
that
we
have
concluded
with
our
business
and
we
are
adjourned.
Thank
you
very
much.
