From YouTube: June 29, 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'm
joined
today
by
council
members,
Gordon
Cano,
bender,
Quincy,
Bersani,
Goodman,
fry
and
Palmisano,
and
we
are
a
quorum
of
this
committee.
A
So
I
think
this
is
an
important
opportunity
for
us
to
counsel,
to
hear
from
the
community
and
from
our
staff
and
director
of
the
neighborhood
community
relations
department.
David
rubra
door
is
going
to
introduce
this
topic
and
then
lead
us
through
several
speakers
who
will
present
to
us
today.
Thank
you,
sir.
B
B
Excuse
me
of
the
Metropolitan
urban
Indian
directors
group,
which
is
the
organization
that
we
have
the
under
random
of
understanding
with
we're,
also
going
to
be
joined
by
Robert
liljegren,
who
is
the
CEO
of
nackte,
the
Native
American
Community
Development
Institute,
as
well
as
Christine
McDonald,
who
is
NCR's
American
Indian
community
specialist
I
also
do
want
to
make
note.
We
do
have
a
number
of
community
leaders
that
are
in
the
audience
today
that
just
I
wanted
to
highlight.
We
have
Mary
Lagarde,
who
is
the
executive
director
of
the
American
Indian
Center?
B
As
chair
Clinton
has
mentioned,
this
was
enacted
in
2003
and
as
an
agreement
between
the
metropolitan
urban
Indian
directors
group
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis
and
really
represents
a
commitment
and
a
sense
of
sense,
determination
to
promote
the
well-being
and
mutual
interest
of
the
American
Indian
community.
This
is
a
very
unique
arrangement
and
in
between
government
and
community,
and
really
serves
as
a
national
model
about
engagement
and
I.
Think
I'm
Robert
Liljegren
is
going
to
highlight
a
little
bit
more
about
how
this
stands
on
a
national
stage.
B
The
American
Indian
mou
was
also
the
precursor
and
used
as
a
model
for
the
American
Indians,
a
memorandum
of
agreement,
that
is
with
in
Minneapolis
Public
Schools,
which
has
also
seen
some
very
successful
outcomes
for
the
American
Indian
community.
So
it
is
a
model
that
has
been
replicated
efforts.
Adoption
in
2003,
the
American
Indian
mou
was
rather
robust
for
a
couple
years
and
then
the
work
languished
for
a
period
of
time
and
then
in
and
10
or
2011.
B
It
was
a
very
important
brand
within
the
American
Indian
community
and
really
represented
a
very
significant
body
of
work,
and
so
we
were
able
to
bring
that
back
with
the
council
leadership
in
2011
and
reestablish
the
working
group.
Since
that
time,
the
the
group
has
really
worked
on
issues
around
public
housing.
B
We
know
the
document
is
dated
again
2003,
the
context
of
which
it
was
written
in
is
significantly
different
to
date,
and
it
was
at
that
time
our
relationship
as
a
city
with
the
American
Indian
community
is
very
strong
and
robust,
and
there's
also
a
number
of
changes
going
on
with
the
metropolitan
urban
Indian
directors
group
that
really
look
or
provide
the
opportunity
to
really
refresh
those
work
and
reset
this
agreement
to
pour
the
future.
So
with
that,
I
am
going
to
stop
talking
and
introduce
Robert
Liljegren.
All.
C
You,
madam
chair,
muzu
and
Indian
women,
gotta,
duck
I,
agree
you,
council,
members
in
Ojibwe,
as
my
relatives,
and
so
madam
chair
council
members
I.
Thank
you
for
taking
time
to
consider
and
to
learn
about
this
important
piece
of
policy
in
this
important
work.
That's
going
on
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
and
and
also
to
re-emphasize
what
mr.
Rubin
or
was
saying
about
the
national
model.
C
This
is,
and,
as
you
know,
Minneapolis
has
a
rich
history
of
Native,
American
activism
and
the
founding
founding
city
of
American
Indian
movement,
for
example,
and
also
helped
establish
a
number
of
anchor
institutions
here
in
the
city
that
are
the
envy
of
the
rest
of
the
nation.
Nothing
like
this
exists
in
other
cities
and
no
piece
of
policy
that
represents
a
positive
relationship
between
a
local
urban
indian
community
and
the
local
government
exists
in
other
parts
of
the
country.
C
It
is
spirituality
here
in
minneapolis,
and
so
I
congratulate
you
on
being
in
the
band
guard
of
leaders
across
the
country.
The
mou
was
approved
by
the
city
council
in
2003.
It
was
signed
by
every
city,
council,
member
and
then
mayor,
RT
Rybak
in
a
ceremony
at
the
Minneapolis
American
Indian
Center,
and
the
idea
emerged
from
the
local
Native
community
and
then
leadership
of
the
Metro
urban
Indian
directors
or
mud
as
we
call
it.
C
Here
has
really
elevated
this
work
and
given
a
subtraction,
but
it
is
an
older
document.
It's
not
12
years
old
and
it
is
time
to
review
the
document.
It's
really
our
responsibility
to
go
back
to
the
community
and
report
on
the
work.
That's
been
done
and
I
really
urge
you
to
see
mud
as
a
strong
partner
of
yours
in
the
community
in
doing
this
work
in
in
in
producing
this
update
of
this
document,
and
so
so
there
is
work
to
be
done.
C
It's
really
just
the
start
of
the
update
process,
the
review
process,
but
we
hope
that
we
gain
your
support
in
in
this
process,
since
oh
I
am
thrilled
and
honored
and
humbled,
and
to
introduce
the
neighborhood
community
relations,
Native,
American
community,
specialist
Christine
McDonald
to
talk
about
some
of
the
work.
That's
been
done
to
date
and
if
there
are
no
questions,
madam
chair
or
council
members
thank
Christmas.
D
Morning,
council
vice-president
button
glidden
council
members,
boozoo
minegishi,
got
dizzy,
God
moga
da
ki
khabar,
we
conditioner
cuz
I
Jack
and
didn't
down
I'm
Christine
McDonald
I'm,
the
city's
American
Indian
community
specialist
I've,
been
in
my
role
since
2011
October
of
2011,
so
I
came
in
after
the
revitalization
in
2011.
I
just
wanted
to
cover
a
couple
of
statistics
around
the
community.
When
we
talk
about
our
community,
we
were
referring
to
the
residents
here:
the
American
Indian
residents,
the
American
Indian
organizations
and
our
urban
tribal
offices.
D
Officially
American
Indians
make
up
two
percent
of
the
population,
which
is
roughly
seventy
seven
hundred
residents
in
the
city.
That's
officially,
but
when
we
count
for
ourselves
because
we're
a
highly
mobile
community
we're
looking
at
more
like
ten
ten
thousand
American
Indians
in
the
metro
area,
the
boards
with
the
highest
populations
are
the
Ninth
Ward
Alondra
chrono,
the
sixth
Ward
cones
member
of
our
Sami
and
the
12th
ward
comes
member
Johnson
and
respectively.
There
are
1200
American
Indians
that
live
in
the
East
Village
neighborhood
little
earth
residents
represent
more
than
30
different
tribal
nations
alone.
D
The
majority
of
my
work
is
to
support
the
Memorandum
of
Understanding,
promoting
the
well-being
girl
with
a
mutual
interests
of
the
American
Indian
community,
which
include
it's
working
with
the
subcommittee's
around
public
safety,
health,
housing,
employment,
economic
development,
education
and
family
preservation.
I'm
also
involved
in
supporting
work
that
has
impact
across
the
community,
such
as
previous
conversations
around
opioid
abuse,
which
is
leading
to
the
current
planning
of
an
upcoming
opioid
crisis
response
form
in
August.
D
That
work
has
also
led
to
a
supporting
role
for
the
emerging
work
of
the
natives
against
heroin
group
and
the
nin
dae
coalition,
which
is
working
to
adjust
maternal
opioid
abuse,
but
the
assistance
of
doulas
in
2013.
There
was
partnered
work
with
the
Native
American
Development
Institute,
on
a
grant
from
the
Minneapolis
foundation
to
do
voter
engagement
work
in
the
American
Indian
community.
D
There
is
current
work
to
address
commercial
sexual
exploitation
with
tremendous
support
from
councilmember
canos
office.
Upcoming
work
also
includes
supporting
indigenous
language.
Revitalization
and
I've
also
heard
a
lot
from
the
community
lately
that
they
appreciate
in
they
appreciate
the
increased
engagement
coming
out
of
the
city
of
Minneapolis
in
the
community
run
many
efforts,
NCR's
community
dialogues
have
it
also
become
a
great
tool
to
continue
relationship
building
with
community
by
bringing
city
department
and
community
leadership
together
for
conversation,
I'm
looking
forward
to
using
those
dialogues
and
creating
stronger
connections.
E
Chair
members
of
the
committee,
whole
mataki
lesson
greetings.
My
relatives
agree
to
my
native
language
of
lakota,
my
family
or
the
Hunkpapa
band
of
the
Lakota
Nation
I,
currently
serve
as
the
president
and
CEO
of
American.
Indian
OIC
and
I
also
currently
have
the
distinct
honor
of
serving
as
the
chairperson
for
the
Metropolitan
urban
indian
directors
group.
E
We
realized
that
we
shared
a
lot
of
similarities
and
the
work
that
we
do
on
behalf
of
our
people
on
behalf
of
the
community
and,
quite
frankly,
we
got
tired
of
having
to
try
to
compete
with
one
another,
either
for
resources
or
for
the
attention
of
folks.
That
can
be
brought
to
the
table
to
help
our
people
and
help
our
mission
and
help
our
work
and
in
the
spirit
of
this
new
camaraderie
of
new
leaders
arriving
at
their
posts
and
then
the
spirit
of
looking
to
work
smarter,
not
harder.
E
We
began
to
really
dive
deep
in
the
ways
in
which
we
could
collaborate
and
partner
with
each
other's
organizations,
ways
in
which,
through
our
mutual
commitment
to
our
work,
we
could
benefit
each
other
and
address
the
totality
of
needs
of
our
people.
The
metropolitan
urban
indian
directors
group
is
a
prime
vehicle
for
having
these
discussions
and
coordinating
these
efforts.
E
Each
of
our
various
organizations
represent
a
wide
array
of
services,
from
healthcare
to
housing,
to
chemical
dependency,
treatment
to
my
own
organizations,
work
in
education
and
workforce
development
and
by
bringing
us
together
into
this
forum,
we
found
ways
in
which
that
we
can
address
these
needs
in
a
more
comprehensive
manner.
So,
within
that
context,
we
worked
to
restructure
much
pollen
urban
indian
directors
group
we
focal.
I
focused
the
subcommittee's
within
the
the
directorship
to
speak
to
the
work,
that's
being
done
on
the
front
lines.
E
We
have
six
subcommittees
that
are
currently
working
under
the
overall
umbrella
of
the
Metropolitan,
a
new
directors
group.
These
six
committees
are
then
populated,
not
only
by
the
leadership
with
the
various
organizations
but,
most
importantly,
they're
populated
by
the
folks
that
are
working
in
the
direct
service
provision,
the
frontline
staff
that
are
they're
engaged
with
their
community
members.
This
is
absolutely
integral
to
the
work
of
mud,
because
it
is
a
powerful
point
of
contact
with
our
community.
These
are
our
stakeholders
that
inform
our
work.
E
Our
frontline
service
providers
can
carry
their
voices
into
the
meetings
of
the
subcommittee.
The
subcommittee's
then
can
align
their
work
along
with
the
MOU,
to
make
sure
that
we're
forwarding
and
advancing
the
interests
of
our
community
in
a
healthy
and
comprehensive
way.
In
addition
to
the
work
of
the
subcommittee's,
we
also
work
comprehensively
for
some
of
these
larger
issues.
E
My
colleague
Christine
alluded
to
the
opioid
issue,
which
is
currently
a
crisis
situation
for
our
community,
as
well
as
a
sex
trafficking
issue,
as
well
as
advocating
on
behalf
of
our
relatives
that
live
outside
of
the
city
limits
that
mud
can
bring
voice
to
their
concerns.
As
well,
some
folks
may
not
realize
that
a
lot
of
our
population
co-locate
between
the
city
of
Minneapolis
and
out
state
to
the
sovereign
nations,
so
mud
has
become
a
forum
for
which
these
issues
can
be
discussed,
advanced
and
advocated
for
on
behalf
of
our
people.
E
In
addition,
beyond
that,
mud
can
also
utilize
its
capabilities.
Its
platform
to
convene
the
community
we've
had
several
large
convenings,
where
we
brought
our
community
members
in
to
either
discuss
issues
to
celebrate.
We've
advanced
powwows
that
have
occurred
locally
within
the
city.
We've
had
community
forums
to
talk
about
the
opioid
issues.
We
had
a
community
forum
in
May
of
2015
working
on
employment
issues
and
working
towards
full
employment
for
Indian
country,
which
was
convened
at
the
Indian
Center.
E
So
these
are
the
issues
and
the
work
that
mud
is
done
and
will
continue
to
do
and
there's
kind
of
a
new
esprit
de
corps
with
our
with
our
colleagues
here
as
we
move
forward.
So
what
we
have
proposed
within
this
RCA,
going
forward
as
a
timeline
to
refresh
the
mou
document
and
to
incorporate
a
written
work
that
that
encapsulate
the
work
of
the
various
subcommittees.
E
As
well
as
provide
some
oversight
for
the
work,
that's
been
accomplished
in
the
previous
two
years,
not
only
to
inform
our
stakeholders
but
to
provide
a
guide
for
future
leadership
that
will
occupy
our
chairs.
Going
forward
with
that.
Madam
chair
I
conclude
our
presentation
and
would
invite
any
and
all
questions
on.
On
behalf
of
the
committee
for
myself
or
my
colleagues
thank.
F
Or
I
did
I'm
Monica,
Flores
and
I'm
the
executive
director
of
biggie
win
and
we
do
asset
building
with
the
community.
We
do
individuals,
home
ownership,
small
business
and
higher
education.
We
work
on
their
credit
counseling,
trying
to
get
them
packaged
ready
so
that
they
can
enter
into
traditional
lending
and
I'm.
Also
the
co-chair
of
mud
and
I've
been
there
for
about
a
year.
Thank
you.
Okay,.
A
G
You,
madam
chair,
so
first
of
all,
you
know
I
want
to
thank
our
community
leaders
for
being
here
today.
The
work
that
you've
put
into
this
initiative
for
years
is
admirable
and
much
needed
from
my
perspective
as
a
policymaker
here,
the
role
of
NCR
has
been
quite
significant
to
I'm
very
thankful
for
that
department
and
for
those
resources
that
support
people
like
christine
mcdonald,
who
is
out
there
and
I,
see
Christine
almost
everywhere
and
I'm,
always
wondering
the
man.
G
Is
she
running
for
office
because
we
see
each
other
in
every
space
and
I
think
that's
a
really
good
thing.
I
really
appreciate
seeing
our
staff
so
involved
in
our
community
efforts.
I
also
just
want
to
acknowledge
that
Lea
chef
DS
here
from
311,
who
has
also
been
really
good
about
getting
the
word
out
about
the
city's
311
programming
and
services,
as
well
as
a
coyot
white
hat
artichoke
or
who
is
now
leading
the
American
Indian
efforts
internally
for
voter
engagement
and
in
the
elections
department.
G
You
know
all
the
other
different
names
that
we
have
throughout
Minnesota,
which
was
actually
something
that
I
learned
when
I
came
to
this
country
when
I
immigrated
here
when
I
was
10,
I
would
see
these
names
and
I
would
wonder.
Well,
where
do
they
come
from
and
and
over
time,
I
learned
a
lot
more
about
the
the
strong
indigenous
roots
of
this
community.
So
nationally,
you
know
to
the
US
government
has
been
shaped
positively
by
the
role
of
indigenous
people,
primarily
I.
G
E
The
vehicle
of
mud
negotiated
a
memorandum
of
agreement
with
Minneapolis
Public
Schools,
which
put
a
heightened
focus
and
awareness
on
the
achievement
of
American
Indian
youth
within
the
school
system,
as
well
as
incorporating
a
culturally
contextualized
approach
to
the
educational
processes
within
the
district.
This
was
really
progressive
and,
quite
honestly,
on
the
vanguard
of
a
new
form
of
educational
engagement
with
a
cultural
group.
E
C
Thank
You
councilman
Burke.
Oh
no,
madam
chair,
thanks
for
the
question
and
there's
been
a
series
of
actions
that
the
city
has
taken.
It
emerged
from
the
conversations
with
mud
in
the
work
of
the
mou.
There
have
been
significant
pieces
of
state
or
federal
legislation
that
the
city
is
added
to
its
legislative
agenda
and
added
the
weight
of
the
city
support
to
moving
those
items
forward.
C
There
has
been,
of
course,
the
indigenous
peoples
day
establishing
indigenous
peoples
day
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
which
all
of
our
organizations,
including
nackte,
were
part
of
the
conversation,
the
mud
organizations
and
the
Violence
Against
Women
Act,
adding
support
to
the
violence
against
women
to
act
on
the
city's
agenda
and
so
having
that
kind
of
support
that
bubbles
up
from
the
community
through
Metro,
urban,
any
directors
and
then
gains
the
support
of
this
council
is
very,
very
significant.
Thank
you.
D
I
just
soon
as
she
had
more
yeah
I
just
wanted
to
add
one
other
on
one
other
instance,
and
that
was
the
1862
resolution
that
was
passed,
December
2012
through
December
2013
that
was
significant
to
our
community.
That
was
significant
from
council
because
it
included
words
that
governments
had
never
used
before,
such
as
genocide
such
as
forced
marches,
such
as
constant
Jason
camps
when
we
refer
to
the
fort
snelling.
So
thank
you
for
that.
D
H
You,
madam
chair,
one
thing
you
might
want
to
add
your
list.
Is
the
one
Minneapolis
one
read
connection
with
Diane
Wilson's
book?
That
was
another
good
thing.
You
work
together
on.
Thank
you
for
being
here.
I.
Think
it's
really
important
work
that
we
do
is
revive
these
documents
and
revisit
them
see,
what's
working,
see
what
needs
to
be
improved
on
what
can
be
built
on.
H
So
thank
you
for
that
commitment
and
for
sharing
that
I'm
I
to
like
councilmember
Cano,
mentioned
very
pleased
to
see
the
NCR
as
a
really
reliable
link
between
city
government
and
our
neighborhoods
structure
and
with
the
community.
So
thanks
for
being
there
I
think
that's
a
really
good
outgrowth
of
what
NCR
is
done,
which
leads
me
to
my
one
of
my
big
questions
is:
how
does
that
this
work
help
feed
our
individual
neighborhood
associations
that
NCR
supports
as
well?
Is
there
a
connection
there,
or
is
it
just
the
community
operating
on
its
own
or
is.
E
There
a
way
like
Christine
up
to
address
that
I
think,
just
from
my
perspective,
what
we've
seen
I
mean.
We
have
a
unique
status
of
sovereign
nations
and
a
first
peoples
and
I
was
been
recognized
by
the
City
Council
through
this
work
and
I
believe,
and
have
seen
evidence
that
this
is
being
watched
very
closely
throughout
the
state
of
Minnesota
nationally.
D
Council,
vice-president
and
member
Quincy,
thank
you
for
the
question.
A
couple
of
ways
that
the
work
has
supported.
Neighborhood
organizations
has
been.
There
was
significant
work
with
the
American
Indian
community
and
getting
people
getting
representation
on
the
epic
board.
East
Phillips
improvement
coalition,
American
Indian
organizations
are
active
in
other
neighborhood
organization.
Hood
groups
as
well
I
know,
Ventura,
villages
is
partnered
with
folks
along
the
American
Indian
cultural
corridor.
Also,
there
has
been,
there
has
been
bored
training
that
was
presented
from
NCR
Department
into
the
American
Indian
community.
H
It's
great
to
hear
that's
another
connection
that
I
think
we
need
to
always
strengthen
and
revisit.
The
other
one
I
would
like
to
include
is
also
on
the
entrepreneurial
business
side
is
the
connection
with
business
associations,
whether
it's
Lake,
Street,
Council
or
the
corridor
or
with
our
own,
see
pet
department.
That's
another
opportunity
which
leads
me
to
my
next
question,
I'm
sure
dr..
H
You
have
a
particular
insight
on
this
as
workforce
development
and
honor
education
connection,
councilmember
Cano
asked
the
question
and
you
responded
about
how
the
mud
agreement
with
the
district
school
district
is
unique
and
very
progressive.
But
how
does
that
help
feed
workforce
development
and
really
serving
Minneapolis
needs
not
just
the
Native
communities.
What
a
terrific
question
compounder.
E
Thanks
thanks
for
providing
that
question
to
me,
cheering
American
Indian
YC
resides
at
the
intersection
of
education
and
workforce
development
and
what
has
been
as
plain
as
the
nose
on
our
face
for
many
years,
starting
to
be
recognized
beyond
our
campus,
which
is
you
need
to
have
academic
achievement
and
the
academic
skill
sets
in
order
to
onboard
into
the
sophisticated
marketplace
for
multiple
generations.
The
American
Indian
community
has
not
received
a
quality
education
because
the
educational
system
was
not
designed
for
our
people.
E
It
was
designed
to
pacify
our
people,
so
not
only
utilizing
the
insights
John
from
the
MOA,
with
Minneapolis
Public
Schools,
utilizing
culturally
contextualized
approaches
to
education.
We
incorporated
the
American
NYC
and
advocate
through
the
platform
of
mod
culturally
contextualized
approaches
their
workforce
development.
This
can
be
done
through
not
only
support
groups
and
cultural
practices
that
support
the
training,
efforts
and
the
placement
efforts
for
our
American
Indian
people
as
they
go
into
the
the
economy
and
secure
these
career
pathway
placements.
E
But
it
also
can
be
worked
with
employers
to
understand
what
it
is
to
work
with
the
American
Indian
community
from
just
providing
concrete
information
about
what
it
means
to
smudge
or
some
of
our
other
called
practices.
What
that
entails
when
you
have
a
large
American
Indian
contingent
working
for
your
company,
which
will
be
happening
across
the
board
but,
more
importantly,
I
think
like
in
the
old
school
room,
as
I
put
on
my
little
classroom
teacher
had
the
old
overhead
projectors.
E
If
you
take
those
transparencies
and
layer,
one
right
on
top
of
the
other,
you
can
take
the
academic
disparities
and
layer
them
right
over
the
top
of
the
economic
disparities
that
are
impacting
our
community.
So
we
need
to
have
is
a
more
forward-thinking
approach,
differentiated
approach
to
how
we
engage
our
learners
and
how
do
we
engage
our
future
workforce?
E
Not
only
does
this
impact
our
k-12
students,
what
other
also
impacts
our
adult
learner,
so
adult
basic
education
also
becomes
a
principal
vehicle
not
only
for
providing
academic
remediation
that
our
people
need,
but
also
as
a
way
of
onboarding
the
career,
training
or
career
contextualization
for
our
adult
learner.
So
they
can
transfer
flee
transition
into
employment
placement
and
so
mud
allows
us
the
vehicle
to
share
our
achievements
to
collectively
advocate
on
behalf
of
not
only
American
Indian
OIC,
but
our
other
providers
in
education
and
workforce
development.
E
We
have
a
subcommittee,
we
call
need,
or
the
Native
American
employment
economic
development
subcommittee,
where
our
direct
service
providers
can
come
into
contact
and
share
best
practices.
But
beyond
that,
I
think
the
most
important
advocacy
point
is
the
advocacy
point
we
can
get
out
there
and
and
lobbied
other
other
power
structures
to
to
look
at
the
work
that
we're
doing
to
provide
material
support
for
the
work
that
we're
doing,
because
the
needs
of
the
community
are
not
the
needs
to
be
met
only
by
the
city
of
Minneapolis.
This
is
a
statewide
issue.
E
Minneapolis
is
leading
the
charge
and
we're
very
grateful
for
that
and
again,
some
of
more
progressive
work.
That's
being
done
here
is
look
to
buy
other
communities
as
as
the
vanguard
of
something
to
be
emulated,
but
mud
allows
us
that
platform
to
vocalize.
These
needs
to
pull
in
these
resources
are
pulling
other
technical
expertise
from
the
state
offices
or
out
state
to
meet
the
needs.
Moving
forward
and
education
and
Workforce
Development
go
hand
in
hand
in
terms
of
providing
economic
vitality
for
our
people.
Hopefully,.
H
That
answers
your
question.
It
was
a
great
job.
Thank
you
very
much,
I
appreciate
that
response.
Thank
you
again,
council.
Vice
president
for
putting
this
on
agenda.
This
is
some
in
conversation
to
be
having
and
I
always
encourage
links
between
documents
and
jurisdictions
that
they
should
be
interlinked
and
not
just
linear
and
separated.
So
thank
you
for
that
look
forward
to
it.
Thank.
A
You
and
I
would
just
say
that
on
this
particular
point,
this
is
something
where
dr.
Hobart
and
I
had
worked
together
before,
because
the
cities
had
advocated
for
exactly
this
kind
of
support
from
the
state
for
around
workforce
issues,
in
partnership
with
American,
Indian,
OIC
and
other
providers.
So
thank
you
for
that
work,
councilmember
war,
sami,
has
a
comment
or
question,
and
then
I
might
just
give
a
heads
up
to
my
colleagues.
A
I
J
I
I'm
very
supportive
of
the
community
efforts
as
as
I'm
one
of
the
council
members.
It
has
a
largest
population
or
Native
Americans,
and
also
all
the
institutions
on
Franklin
Avenue.
So
thank
you
again
for
the
community
and
thank
you
to
an
NCR
and
all
the
city
status
working
on
this.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
Well
I'll
just
say
thank
you
as
well.
Thank
you
to
the
community
members
and
leadership
of
mud
for
being
here
with
us
today.
I
think
this
was
a
important
presentation
again
to
kind
of
ground
this
council,
which
had
not
yet
had
a
presentation
on
this
memory
on
of
understanding
and
what
has
been
the
work
to
date
and
understanding.
A
What's
going
to
be
that
trajectory
and
the
importance
of
updating
this
agreement,
so
I
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you
for
taking
your
time
to
make
sure
we
had
that
grounding
and
understanding
and
welcome
back
Council,
a
former
council
member
Robert
Liljegren,
and
thank
you
for
your
continued
leadership
in
the
community,
so
we're
going
to
receive
in
style
and
and
then
we're
going
to
just
have
a
brief
break
to
take
a
photograph.
So
with
that
move
to
receive
and
file
on
a
prequel,
p
say
I,
I

then

had
a
note
from
our
clerk
about
more
of
a
verbal
report.
I
probably
should
have
given
if
I'm
able
to
read
it
during
the
IG
report,
because
we
have
two
petitions
for
proposed
charter
changes
that
are
working
their
way
through
the
city's
process.
One
is
a
petition
relating
to
a
proposal
to
ensure
the
police.
A
The
original
petition
was
submitted
to
the
Charter
Commission
at
a
special
meeting
on
june
thirteenth.
At
this
point,
the
city
clerk
has
reported
to
the
IG
are
common
at
its
meeting
on
june
23rd
that
the
petition
was
insufficient
because
it
failed
to
achieve
the
minimum
number
of
valid
signatures.
There
is
a
process
where
the
petitioners
have
an
opportunity
to
cure
that
those
defects
and
that
timeline
is
in
place.
A
They
have
until
July
fifth
to
submit
an
amended
petition,
and
then
the
city
clerk
has
a
certain
amount
of
time
after
that
to
then
verify
those
additional
submitted
signatures.
So
that
is
an
update
on
that.
The
second
item-
the
clerk
asked
me
to
give
an
update
on,
is
a
petition
regarding
a
fifteen
dollar
minimum
wage.
There
is
we
anticipate
that
there
will
be
a
petition
filed
with
the
city
clerk
today.
A
If
that
does
happen,
there
is
again
a
process
for
this
to
go
to
the
Charter
Commission,
which
essentially
starts
the
process
of
then
the
clerk
acting
to
review
and
validate
submitted
signatures,
and
we
would
anticipate
hearing
from
the
city
clerk
if
the
petition
is
sufficient
with
enough
valid
signatures
around
july
25th.
So
that
is
just
a
timeline
update
on
those
items.
I
believe
with
that
that
we
have
concluded
with
our
business
for
today
and
we
are
adjourned.
Thank
you.
