Description
Minneapolis Health, Environment & Community Engagement Committee Meeting
A
Good
afternoon
I'm
going
to
call
to
order
this
meeting
of
the
health
environment
and
community
engagement
committee.
My
name
is
a
cam
Gordon
and
chaired
the
committee
and
joined
today
by
council
members,
Cano,
glidden
and
fri.
We
expect
the
council
member
vendor
to
arrive
soon
and
we
don't
expect
Andrew
Johnson.
We
have
six
items
on
our
agenda
today.
A
First,
four
of
those
are
consent,
items
and
I'll
go
through
first
and
then
we
have
to
discussion
items
to
reports,
one
from
our
Minneapolis
tree,
Advisory
Committee
and
the
other
from
the
Public
Health
Advisory
Committee,
on
the
consent
agenda.
And
if
anybody
wants
to
pull
any
of
this
up
for
discussion,
we
can.
The
first
item
is
setting
a
public
hearing
for
July
eleventh
to
consider
appointments
to
the
neighborhood
and
community
engagement.
A
Commission
second
item
is
approving
two
appointments
to
the
public
health
advisory
committee:
Conrad
Bukowski

Ward
3
and
Laurel
nightingale
reward
to
third
items
authorizing
a
annual
no-cost
agreement
with
the
Hennepin
health
care
system.
Doing
businesses

city
employees
in
the
fourth
and
final
consent
item
is
authorizing
application

A
C
Welcome
good
afternoon,
chair
garden,
council
members,
my
name
is
Louis
Eberhardt
and
with
the
public
works
department,
and
I
am
happy
to
introduce
this
item.
The
minneapolis
tree,
Advisory
Commission,
was
started
by
the
park
board
Park
and
Recreation
Board
in
2004,
and
its
overarching
goal
is
to
improve
the
long-term
health
and
extent
of
the
city's
urban
forests.
C
B
This
year's
report
has
three
components:
the
state
of
the
urban
forest
section
on
the
urban
forest
policy
and
then
a
brief
one
on
project
plans
and
for
each
of
these
sections,
I'll
be
talking
about
accomplishments,
threats
and
opportunities,
as
well
as
our
2016
recommendations.
So
as
far
as
the
state
of
the
urban
forest
goes,
the
question
we
ask
is:
are
we
really
sustaining
our
trees
and
our
urban
forests
and
all
the
many
benefits
they
provide
to
us
and,
as
I
think
you
are
well
aware?
Losses
are
accelerating
from
the
insect
emerald
ash
borer.
B
It
is
now
affecting
most
of
the
city
of
Minneapolis.
If
we
look
at
its
progress
in
the
neighborhoods
that
it's
affected
over
time
2010,
it
was
only
in
Prospect
Park
and
then
just
watched
these
maps
as
they
flip
through,
and
you
see
more
neighborhood's
affected
each
year,
including
a
dispersal
of
neighborhoods
across
the
city.
B
In
2016,
with
a
recommendation
of
the
Minnesota
Department
of
Agriculture,
the
park
board
is
emphasizing
on
doing
more
of
this
ash
canopy
replacement
plan
in
aber
hoods
that
are
affected
by
emerald
ash
borer
or
who
immediately
adjoining
so
this
map
depicts
where
the
most
emphasis
is
on
ash
removal
and
replacement,
and
this
is
based
on
where
the
disease
was
the
neighborhood's.
It
was
in
in
2015.
So
if
we
think
about
that
map
that
I
showed
you
a
moment
ago
of
where
the
disease
now
is
or
the
insect
is
now
in
2016.
B
As
we
lose
these
trees,
we
lose
a
lot
of
benefits
that
an
urban
forest
provides
to
us
and
I've
spoken
to
this
committee
previously
about
the
many
benefits
to
our
environment,
air
quality,
stormwater,
control
of
human
health,
our
quality
of
life
that
all
come
from
trees
and
the
scientists
that
measure
the
benefits
of
trees
see
that
the
benefits
are
correlated
to
tree
canopy.
So
the
more
tree
canopy
we
have,
the
more
leaves
that
are
in
the
air,
literally
the
more
benefits
we
get
so
prior
to
emerald
ash
borer,
that
is
to
say
in
2009.
B
There
was
a
detailed
study
done
using
aerial
photography
and
satellite
imagery
of
where
the
tree
canopy.
What
the
extent
of
tree
canopy
is
in
Minneapolis,
and
at
that
point
we
were
at
almost
thirty
two
percent
tree
canopy
and
since
then,
we've
had
substantial
losses
due
to
a
major
tornado
and
other
wind
storms
and
through
emerald
ash
borer.
We
could
expect
to
lose
eighteen
percent
of
that
31
and
be
down
to
twenty-five
percent
overall.
But
we
actually
don't
know
exactly
where
we
are.
B
So
one
of
our
recommendations
is
that
we
update
the
satellite
tree
canopy
survey-
that
was
last
done
in
2009.
At
the
same
time,
we
know
that
we
are
probably
around
twenty-five
percent
canopy
right
now.
The
American
Forests
organization,
a
nonprofit
organization
that
works
on
urban
forestry
issues,
recommends
a
40-percent
tree
canopy
cover
for
a
city
like
ours.
So
let's
say
we
were
to
have
a
goal
of
getting
a
40-percent
tree
canopy
covered
by
the
year
twenty
forty.
B
That
would
mean
that
we
would
need
to
plant
six
hundred
thousand
trees
over
the
next
twenty-four
years
or
25,000
trees
per
year,
and,
to
do
this
it
would
require
both
public
and
private
cooperation,
not
only
planting
on
our
boulevards
in
our
parks
and
other
city
controlled
public
places,
but
in
industrial
areas
in
vacant
lots
in
along
our
highways
and
in
everybody's
yard.
The
Minneapolis
Park
Board
is
doing
a
very
good
job
of
tree
planting
and
over
eight
thousand
trees
years,
where
they're
at
now
trying
to
keep
up
with
this.
B
But
it
is
just
barely
or
in
some
years,
not
even
keeping
up.
So
this
shows
a
graph
of
removals
in
2014.
Then
the
plantings
in
2015
the
removals
in
2015
and
the
plantings
in
2016,
so
you
can
see
that
some
years
we
at
this
level
we
plant
more
trees
and
we
take
down
in
some
years.
We
are
actually
losing
more,
not
even
counting
the
fact.
The
ones
we
lose
are
much
bigger.
B
We
had
a
wonderful
Arbor
Day
this
year
and
over
a
hundred
and
thirty
trees
were
planted
in
39
different
species
of
trees,
and
this
was
part
of
a
whole
series
of
events
in
Northeast
Minneapolis
on
six
different
park
board
properties,
batting
over
300
trees
of
64
different
types
of
trees.
The
city
also
supports
the
city
tree
program,
another
way
that
we
are
proactively
encouraging
more
planting
of
trees,
and
this
provides
very
economical
trees
to
city
residents.
B
Now
it
must
be
noted
that
once
again,
even
though
they
improved
the
system
since
last
year
that
there
was
so
much
demand
that
by
9am
the
first
morning
that
it
was
open,
the
computer
system
crash
by
which
people
could
order
trees
and
all
the
trees
were
sold
out
within
a
few
days.
So
this
is
points
to
the
popularity
of
tree,
planting
and
I.
B
These
trees
also
need
good
monitoring
and
young
tree
pruning,
and
this
is
something
that
we
are
having
ongoing
discussions
with
the
tree
Commission
and
we
really
strongly
support
work
through
and
encourage
more
young
tree
pruning,
so
the
trees
can
be
the
strongest
and
most
long-lived
trees.
Possible.
B
Watering
trees
is
also
essential,
and
even
though
we
have
had
very
wet
Springs
the
last
few
years,
we
tend
to
have
dry
late
summer
and
sometimes
dry
falls.
So
we
really
think
that
the
city
needs
to
do
more
to
implement
a
public
tree
watering
strategy,
and
we
feel
this
is
an
area
that
the
park
board
should
be
collaborating
more
with
the
fire
department,
Public
Works
Department,
using
conservation
corps
and
others
all
new
trees
on
the
boulevards,
get
these
Gator
bags
and
we
think
they're,
very
good.
Symbolically,
you
just
have
to
walk
down
the
street.
B
There
are
as
good
news
in
terms
of
partnerships.
Last
year
was
the
first
year
I
reported
on
this
private
group
called
brewing,
a
better
urban
forest
which
is
actively
using
social
media
and
events
and
other
things
to
encourage
people
to
adopt
public
trees
and
watch
out
for
them
and
care
for
them.
They
were
also
an
important
sponsor
the
Minneapolis
Arbor
Day
event.
B
The
planted
trees
also
need
to
be
properly
maintained
around
and
we
really
urge
the
park
board
and
other
public
land
owners,
as
well
as
private,
on
people
to
prevent
unnecessary
damage
to
trees
so
that
they
can
grow
and
fulfill
their
full
potential.
If
you
look
at
the
base
of
this
tree,
that
damage
to
the
bark
was
caused
by
most
likely
a
weed
whip
or
weed
whip
and
lon
Moore,
and
that
will
either
kill
or
damage
the
tree,
so
it
doesn't
grow
as
well.
B
B
Our
second
topic
is
the
urban
forest
policy,
and
this
is
an
area
where
we're
definitely
moving
in
the
right
direction.
The
city,
the
park
board
and
others
involved
in
this,
and
this
comes
out
of
the
wind
storm
that
happened
in
2013,
and
there
was
a
study
by
the
University
done
on
that
in
which
they
did
find
that
public
infrastructure
improvements,
such
as
sidewalk
replacements,
can
harm
and
kill
Boulevard
trees,
and
you
directed
the
staff
to
work
with
the
tree
and
pedestrian
advisory
committees
on
city
policy
changes.
B
So
the
urban
forest
policy
has,
as
its
intention
to
provide
standards,
guidelines
and
practices
that
protect,
maintain
and
manage
the
urban
forest.
So
one
of
the
things
that
it
specifically
a
new
provision
of
it
is
the
forest
preservation
coordinator
is
required
to
be
part
of
the
decision-making
process.
You
can
think
of
it
as
a
tree
advocate
right
out
there
in
all
of
the
Public
Works
and
city
projects
and
he's
doing
a
great
job
on
Craig.
B
Penkala
is
doing
a
great
job
in
his
acting
rule,
but
this
is
not
a
fully
funded
and
established
position
and
that's
really
essential
to
implementing
the
urban
forest
policy.
There
are
also
new
specifications
in
the
urban
forest
policy
that
now
have
as
part
of
the
Public
Works
pack
of
state-of-the-art
standards
for
trees,
as
well
as
for
curbs
and
roadways
and
other
utilities.
B
So
we
think
that
the
work
the
tree
Commission
and
others
did
to
provide
to
you
some
revisions
to
the
urban
forest
policy
is
is
a
very
important
accomplishment
and
we
appreciate
being
asked
to
do
that.
We
think
the
results
are
very
good.
The
last
and
fine
brief
topical
mention
on
is
just
related
to
project
plans,
and
the
question
really
is,
as
are
we
as
a
overall
community,
doing
everything
we
can
to
conserve
and
promote
tree
protection
in
this
work.
We
feel
as
a
tree
Commission.
B
It's
a
very
hard
place
to
be,
they
are
thriving,
and
yet,
when
the
mall
is
redone,
they
will
be
removed
and
the
park
board.
Excuse
me
in
there
worth
adventure
and
welcome
center.
We
found
out
again
after
the
fact
three
hundred
trees
are
being
removed,
including
an
oak
woodland.
That's
quite
old.
So
in
conclusion,
these
are
our
recommendations
and
these
recommendations
summer
for
the
park
board
summer
for
the
city
and
summer
for
both.
B
So
our
first
priority
is
to
excel
save
existing
healthy
trees,
and
we
believe
that
for
the
city
in
the
park
board,
both
there
needs
to
be
a
stress
on
tree
protection
in
all
requests
for
proposals.
For
public
projects,
furthermore,
there
should
be
a
requirement
for
tree
protection
information.
That's
provided
to
decision-makers
like
yourselves
when
you're
deciding
whether
to
approve
a
project,
and
we
believe
that
every
project
should
show
how
it
is
going
about
saving
healthy
trees
and
that
we,
the
tree
protection
plan,
should
be
required
as
part
of
the
city
site
plan
review
process.
B
Our
second
recommendation
is
that
the
city
and
park
board
work
together
to
fund
the
full
time
force,
preservation
coordinator
position
and
make
that
a
permanent
opposition.
Our
third
recommendation
is
that
the
tree
Commission
be
involved
early
in
projects
that
may
impact
trees,
and
we've
asked
that
the
tree
Commission
be
appointed
to
park
board
citizen
advisory
committees
and
specifically,
we're
asking
the
city
to
consult
with
the
tree.
Knish
commission
at
the
initiation
of
city
sponsored
projects
when
there
is
still
opportunity
for
our
advice
and
comment
to
be
effective.
B
Our
fourth
recommendation
is
that
the
city
and
park
board
work
together
to
guarantee
the
care
of
public
trees,
to
develop
a
reliable
watering
plan
to
evaluate
the
effectiveness
of
Gator
bags
and
a
train
park
staff
and
any
other
public
or
city
staff
that
use
Moors
and
weed
whips
to
keep
those
away
from
young
trees.
And,
finally,
we
believe
that
it's
in
the
city's
ultimate
interest
to
aim
for
something
like
that.
Forty
percent
tree
canopy
cover-
and
that
means
we
need
to
as
a
whole
community
increase
tree
planting.
B
A
Thank
you
very
much
for
a
very
thorough
in
and
easy-to-follow
report.
As
usual
appreciate,
it
I
did
have
a
question
about
I
was
concerned
about
the
lots
of
trees.
You
mentioned
on
Nicola
and
the
sculpture
garden
and
some
of
those
other
projects,
and
do
you
think
that
if
you'd
gotten
involved
earlier
that
the
tree
Advisory
Commission
could
have
helped
save
some
of
those
trees
or
had
some
influence
that
would
have
done
so?
Yes,.
B
Council,
member
and
chair
I
definitely
believe
that's
true
and
needs
to
be
quite
early
in
the
process
when
the
request
for
proposals
goes
out.
For
those
it
needs
me
make
clear
to
the
project,
designers
and
others
who
are
involved
in
it
right
from
the
get-go
that
protecting
existing
healthy
trees
is
very
important
to
the
city.
So.
B
Most
cases
we
we
have
received
plans
after
they're,
not
only
done
and
a
substantial
amount
of
work
and
money
has
gone
into
developing
the
plans,
but
in
some
cases,
until
not
till
they're,
already
approved
or
out
for
bid.
So
it
varies
from
project
to
project
how
late
it
is.
But
in
each
case
it's
been
too
late
for
our
comments
to
have
a
substantial
impact.
A
Like
the
idea
of
setting
a
goal
for
what
kind
of
tree
canopy
we
want,
of
course
the
problem
is
our
measuring
it.
We
were
able
to
measure
our
tree
canopy
once
and
we
still
haven't
gone
back
and
done
that
again
and
I.
Think,
like
early
in
the
report,
you
talked
about
it's
time
to
do
an
assessment
again.
Yes,.
B
B
A
B
A
Also,
very
interested
in
our
full-time
forest
reservation
coordinator
position.
It
seemed
like
we
were
hopeful,
there'd,
be
some
funding
last
round
and
we
didn't
get
the
funding.
Do.
We
now
have
still
have
this
position,
though,
working
for
the
park
board
and
they've
come
up
with
the
funds
for
it.
I.
B
A
Seems
out
so
wedge,
you're
coming
up
and
that's
great
it's.
It
seemed
like
if
this
person
was
more
full-time
to
birddog
some
of
these
projects.
They
also
might
be
very
helpful
in
making
sure
that
projects
got
to
the
tree
Advisory
Committee
in
the
early
stages
they
were
coming
up
or
they
were
on
the
plan.
So
up
maybe
even
tell
us
more
about
the
yes.
E
Councilman
right
now,
Craig
Ben
Kallo,
the
person
who's
in
that
position
is
actually
kind
of
on
the
books
as
an
arborist.
He
just
happens
to
have
the
expertise
need
to
do
to
do
the
job,
so
we
have
him
performing
the
duties
of
the
job,
but
that
also
means
were
short
one
arbors,
because
he's
not
actually
in
the
job
in
a
full-blown
way.
So
the
position
still
needs
to
be
posted
and
interviews.
E
A
Okay,
of
course,
that
makes
me
wonder
if
this
is
going
to
be
recommended
in
the
Public
Works
budget
as
they
bring
that
forward
to
the
mayor
and
for
the
mayor's
Rose
budget,
and
maybe
we
don't
know,
what's
going
to
be
in
that
budget
recommendation
already.
Is
there
anyone
from
public
works?
Who
knows
what's
in
the
budget,
not
okay,
all
right
so
I
guess
that's
a
key
place.
Could
you
just
tell
us
how
much
money
you
think
the
city
should
contribute
towards
that
position?
Oh
well,.
E
A
A
Well,
thank
you.
I
appreciate
that
the
other
council
members
have
questions
or
comments.
I,
don't
see
any
that's
all
I
have
right
now,
but
thanks
so
much
for
your
good
work.
I
appreciate
that
Andrew
Lum
keep
these
recommendations
in
mind.
I
guess
my
last
thought
that
I'll
put
out
there
as
we
are
on
redoing,
our
our
comprehensive
plan
over
the
next
year
or
so,
and
something
like
percentage
of
tree
canopy
or
some
goal
like
that.
A
It
might
really
sit
well
in
our
comp
plan
and
even
maybe
when
we're
looking
at
sections
of
the
city
and
equity
in
terms
of
tree
canopy,
so
I
hope.
Hopefully
the
tree
advisory
group
will
be
reached
out
to
buy
the
working
on
the
comprehensive
plan
and
there
could
be
some
interaction
there.
But
let's,
let's,
let's
flag
that
for
everybody,
because
I
think
that
might
be
a
great
place
for
some
of
this.
A
C
A
F
A
F
I,
chair
Gordon
and
committee
members,
my
name
is
Karen
Soderbergh
and
co-chair
of
the
Public
Health
Advisory
Committee
and
represented
for
Ward
7.
I
reside
at
286
Washburn
heaven
in
North.
My
colleague,
Peggy
Reinhart,
couldn't
be
here
today,
she's
under
the
weather,
so
I
am
going
to
present
our
2015
Public
Health
Advisory
Committee
annual
reports
in
her
welfare
support
so
just
to
level
set
here.
F
F
So
the
first
few
items
really
relate
to
the
department's
goals
of
a
healthy
start
to
life
and
learning
and
in
2014
we
learned
quite
a
bit
about
this
topic
and
determine
that
it
would
be
beneficial
to
commission
a
study
and
had
a
U
of
M
public
health,
school
Public,
Health
master's
student
available
to
do
this.
So
she
examined
cultural
and
structural
barriers
to
breastfeeding
in
Minneapolis
and
identified
actions.
The
city
could
take
to
better
support
breastfeeding
families.
F
F
To
normalize,
breastfeeding,
identify
and
recognize
breastfeeding
friendly
organizations,
facilities
and
businesses
and
create
public
spaces
for
breastfeeding,
and
also
just
kind
of
gave
us
as
a
committee
much
better
understanding
of
the
cultural
variations
among
our
population
groups.
On
the
topic,
this
report
was
widely
distributed
to
the
stakeholders
in
the
city
and
the
council,
and
also
engaged
the
align
on
system-wide
breastfeeding
committee.
Further
informations
in
the
report,
if
you're
interested
the
next
activity
we
got
involved
with
relating
to
healthy
start
is
the
mayor's
cradle
decay
initiative.
F
We
saw
a
when
the
draft
plan
was
released.
Our
community
saw
a
great
opportunity
to
respond
and
provide
comet.
Most
of
our
comments
really
revolved
around
the
use
of
metrics
to
tighten
up
metrics
for
each
goal
and
strategy
and
create
clear
links
between
the
goals
and
indicators,
so
that
we'd
have
better
better
measure
on
the
outcomes.
We
also
had
a
few
committee
members
at
10
listening
sessions
to
provide
input
on
the
plan.
F
E
F
Variety
of
things,
and
so
one
of
the
activities
we
did
was
to
complete
a
simple
questionnaire
on
a
variety
of
these
topics
which
really
helped
us
to
understand
how
easily
a
person
can
have
an
adverse
childhood
experience,
and
there
is
also
state-level
data
to
support
this.
So
this
was
a
good
learning
topic
and
I
think
something
that
will
consider
continuing
to
see
what
we
can
do
to
act
on
a
topic
going
forward
on
the
priority
of
healthy
places
to
live.
F
So
some
of
the
things
that
we
learned
about
was
a
HUD
funded
project
that
the
health
department
is
working
on
or
is
now
completed,
so
healthy
communities,
assessment
tool
which
is
available
online
and
so
a
collection
of
environmental,
social
and
economic
data
at
the
community
level
is
specifically
the
neighborhood
level.
That
is,
you
can
search
on
I,
get
a
variety
of
indicators
for
that
neighborhood.
So
it's
a
good
source
of
information.
F
We
also
had
a
presentation
from
nickel
Beckman
from
he's.
Actually,
combined
role
with
the
city
in
the
county,
about
heading
home,
hennepin
on
homelessness,
and
he
gave
us
a
really
thoughtful
presentation
on
the
impact
of
homelessness
on
a
person's
overall
well-being.
And
that's
you
know,
without
housing,
we
really
struggled
to
accomplish
everything
else
in
our
lives
and
he
addressed
a
lot
of
the
facts
about
what
happened
what's
happening,
but
also
policies
and
the
long-term,
effective
policies
on
the
homelessness
and
so
our
action
out
of
that
which
I
know
chair
Gordon.
You
were
involved
with.
F
F
On
the
priority
of
healthy
weight
and
smoke
free
living,
we
received
information
from
the
Minneapolis
youth
council
and
their
recommendations
to
put
limits
on
the
availability
of
flavored
and
tobacco
products
and
e
cig
products
available
in
the
stores,
and
we
each
contacted
our
city
council
members
to
reiterate
our
our
support
for
what
did
eventually
pass
and
one
of
our
our
committee
members
provided
public
testimony
at
the
public
hearing
on
that
topic.
So
we're
really
pleased
that
small
measure
went
through.
F
And
finally,
we
had
paid
sick
leave.
That
was
a
recent
item.
We
supported
the
ordinance
changes
to
provide
urn,
sick
and
save
50
minneapolis
employee's.
We
submitted
a
letter
of
support
to
the
workplace,
partnership
group
and
Peggy,
who
couldn't
be
here
today,
provided
testimony
at
the
public
hearing
on
that
topic.
F
Couple
of
other
topics
include
in
insufficient
sleep.
One
of
our
committee
members
brought
this
up
and
does
a
lot
of
work
on.
It
pointed
out
that
when
sleep
is
compromised,
people
are
more
susceptible
to
illness
and
mental
health
issues,
and
there
are
a
lot
of
factors.
It's
a
lot
to
understand
around
that
topic.
So
we'll
probably
continue
to
learn
more
about
that,
and
also
we
learned
about
the
air
quality
measurement.
The
neighborhood
approach
in
Minneapolis.
F
F
On
the
operational
side,
we
help
review
nominations
for
the
local
public
health
heroes
award,
which
is
in
April
of
each
year
nationally.
There's
a
Public,
Health,
Week
and
Minneapolis
seeks
nominations
for
local
public
health
heroes
and
we
participate
in
reviewing
those
nominations
and
then
there's
a
celebration
in
the
middle
of
that
week
to
honor
these
people,
who
are
doing
really
great
work
in
the
community.
We
also
have
to
review
applications
for
committee
vacancies.
F
We
always
seem
to
have
a
constant
turnover
on
that
and
always
looking
forward
to
reaching
across
our
community
to
get
representation,
and
then
we've
also
participated
in
two
community
conversations,
but
filming
and
discussions
facilitated
discussion
on
the
documentary,
the
raising
of
America,
which,
as
I
believe
six
or
seven
episodes.
So
we
reviewed
two
of
those
at
this
point,
which
is
a
in
really
nice
conversation
around
that
it's
a
well-done
production,
if
you
haven't
seen
it
so
so
going
forward.
F
I
think
our
big
thing
is
to
continue
some
the
learning
priorities
or
topics
that
we've
had
when
there's
any
follow-up,
but
also
to
engage
in
other
topics
pertaining
to
mental
health,
health
disparities
and
health
equity
substance
abuse,
particularly
relating
to
opioids
sex
trafficking,
and
is
linked
to
major
sports
event,
which
will
be
a
concern
when
the
Super
Bowl
is
here.
City,
walkability,
urban,
agriculture,
youth,
violence
prevention
and
the
city's
climate
change
vulnerability
assessment
and
would
also
like
to
continue
setting
up
some
viewings
and
discussions
of
raising
of
America.
F
A
F
A
D
You
mr.
chair,
first
of
all,
thank
you
both
for
your
work.
Your
volunteer
service
to
this
commission
I
think
that
the
commissions
and
committees
that
the
city
of
Minneapolis
has
are
one
of
the
most
valuable
ways
for
us
to
get
input
from
residents
and
I.
Do
appreciate
all
the
time
and
commitment
that
you
bring
forward.
I
also
wanted
to
say
thank
you
for
adding
commercial
sexual
exploitation
to
your
agenda
item
for
the
future
discussions.
It
is
an
issue
that
is
hitting
us
pretty
hard
in
the
Ninth
Ward.
D
So
please
do
feel
free
to
reach
out
to
my
office
and
and
see
us
as
a
resource
and
a
connector
to
these
broader
conversations
and
we're
also
connecting
to
the
subcommittee
on
addressing
this
issue
with
the
Vikings
stadium
and
with
everything
that's
coming
forward
with
the
the
Super,
Bowl
and
so
forth.
So
I
know
that
the
Hennepin
hennepin
county
has
a
staff
member
I
think
her
name
is
Amanda.
I
forget
her
laughing,
but
anyway,
she's
she'll
be
coming
to
our
next
meeting
next
Tuesday.
