Minneapolis Public Safety, Civil Rights & Emergency Management Committee Meeting
A
Alright
good
afternoon,
my
name
is
blonde
Yang
and
the
chair
of
the
public
safety.
Civil
rights
of
emergency
management
committee
today
is
marked
the
first
2017
and
with
me
today,
or
a
council
members
of
right
palmisano,
gordon
in
quincy
and
council
president
will
not
be
joining
us
today.
I
believe
she's
on
some
sort
of
City
business.
A
The
chief
second
item
is
a
gift
acceptance
from
the
Minnesota
Final
Four
host
community
for
travel,
related
costs,
and
this
is
for
commander
of
drill,
occur
and
other
folks
to
go
to
Phoenix
Arizona
in
the
third
item.
Is
that
2016
fourth
quarter
report
in
annual
summary
from
the
Civil
Rights
departments
with
regard
to
the
contract,
compliance
division
and
so
count
numbers
will
address
the
first
two
items
which
are
content
items.
Anyone
want
to
pull
anything
off
or
discussion
all
right.
B
B
So
the
contract
compliance
vision,
monitors,
city
of
Minneapolis
projects
and
contracts
to
ensure
the
minority,
women
and
low-income
business
owners
and
workers
have
access
to
contracting
and
employment
opportunities
on
city
contracts
and
their
workers
are
paid
correct
wages.
I'm
here
today
to
present
the
fourth
quarter
division
report
and
this
report
provides
data
for
all
of
the
2016
year.
B
In
addition
to
administering
a
CBP
program
on
city
contracts,
the
division
also
processes
applications
for
certification
as
part
of
the
Minnesota
unified
certification
program.
This
program
includes
the
Met
Council
metropolitan
airports,
commission,
a
minnesota
department,
transportation,
as
well
as
the
city
and
in
2016,
the
division
certified
23
new
firms
under
the
menu
CP
and
a
total
of
149
firms
were
certified
in
total
by
all
agencies.
B
So
what
this
slide
is.
It
represents
a
breakdown
of
minority
and
women,
business
inclusion
for
2016
the
division,
monitored
164
contracts,
totaling
over
552
million
dollars
during
the
year,
both
MBE
and
w.e
WBE.
Certified
firms
participated
on
city
contracts
at
higher
percentages
than
previous
years.
Mbe
participation
was
over
35
million
dollars
or
eight
percent,
an
increase
of
one
percent
above
2015
numbers
and
two
percent.
Above
the
four
year
average
wbe
participation
was
over
46
million
dollars
or
twelve
percent,
an
increase
of
five
percent
above
2015
numbers
and
four
percent
above
the
four-year
average.
B
The
division
also
monitors
workforce
participation
for
minority
and
women
employees
on
city
contracts,
the
goal
for
workforce
participation
on
city
projects
are
established
by
the
Minnesota
Department
of
Human
Rights
and
the
Minneapolis
and
the
Metro.
These
goals
are
thirty-two
percent
minority
participation
and
six
percent.
Female
participation
in
2016
female
workers
worked
over
one
hundred
and
seventy
nine
thousand
hours
on
contracts
monitored
by
the
division
and
the
city
met
its
or
your
average.
B
B
And
in
addition
to
to
administering
the
city's
SCBT
and
workforce
programs,
the
division
also
monitors
compliance
with
affirmative
action,
section
three
and
prevailing
wage
requirements
in
2016.
The
city
approved
affirmative
action
plans
for
260
contracts,
certified
89
individuals
and
eleven
businesses
under
HUD,
section
three
program
and
recovered
over
one
hundred
and
two
thousand
dollars
in
under
paid
wages
for
73
workers
on
26
video
on
projects.
B
That
concludes
the
presentation
of
data
for
this
report.
The
link
report
provided
also
contains
more
detailed
information
on
inclusion
program
outcomes
administered
by
the
division
in
2016,
I
will
just
say,
I
coming
over
here
recently
from
another
another
agency
at
MnDOT
compared
to
those
compared
to
those
those
agencies.
The
contract
compliance
division
has
a
high
workload,
administering
five
different
programs
for
the
city
that
seek
to
increase
participation
and
ensure
workers
are
paid
fairly
at
many
other
organizations,
I
have
worked,
including
mndot
only
one
or
two
of
these
programs
are
administered
by
a
single
division.
B
So
I
would
like
to
thank
the
council
and
mayor
Hodges
for
the
support
and
additional
resources
that
have
been
provided
to
the
department,
with
that
the
division
looks
forward
to
continuing
its
progress
in
the
programs
and
administers
for
2017
and
beyond
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
the
committee
might
have
otherwise
Thank
You
mr.
chair
for
the
committee's
time,
Thank.
D
D
D
B
Of
them,
so
in
for
the
minority
and
women
business
inclusion,
it
looks,
it
actually
appears
to
have
been
an
increase
in
mb
participation
and
wbe
participation
over
2015
numbers.
So
the
it's
kind
of
a
small
font,
the
2015
numbers
are
in
and
yellow
and
the
2016
offside.
The
2016
numbers
are
in
purple.
So
there
is
a
slight
decrease.
Your
correct,
madam
chair
or
madam
I,
think
it
is,
it
is
a
small
decrease.
I
would
have
to
get
more
information
for
you
as
to
the
specific
reasons
I.
E
Department,
I
think
I
can
help
with
that
answers.
If
you
look
at
how
percentage
participation
increase
for
a
number
of
years,
if
you
remember
I,
think
I
talked
about
it.
Maybe
two
years
ago,
at
a
meeting
back
in
no
2014,
2013,
2014
really
municipality
for
the
only
entities
building
anything
because
the
private
sector
wasn't
really
building,
they
were
coming
out
of
a
recession.
E
The
government
had
projects
that
were
ready
to
be
they
were
shovel
ready,
ready
to
be
built,
and
so
what
you're
seeing
is
sort
of
that
gradual
escalation
up
to
about
two
years
ago,
and
so
some
of
the
carryover
would
be
those
projects
into
2015
into
2016
as
they
start
to
taper
off.
So
now
everybody
is
building.
If
you
notice
no
I'm
driving
in
this
morning,
we
have
no
more
surface
life.
E
That's
out
there
and
they're
going
to
be
doing
some
recent
elation
of
the
workforce
goals
to
make
them
a
bit
more
real
to
realistic,
what's
happening
in
the
metro,
because
building
is
happening
all
over
the
state
right
now.
So
that
I
think,
is
that
the
explanation
for
why
it
looks
like
a
huge
decrease
and
it
is,
but
it
isn't
a
decrease
in
the
amount
of
work
for
workers
and
businesses
in
the
metro,
sure.
A
I
can
jump
onto
that
director
call.
You
you'd
mentioned
that
a
few
years
ago
I
mean
government
was
the
only
driver
of
let's
say
development
that
was
happening
and
I
mean.
Does
that
suggest
that
government
just
doesn't
a
little
bit
better
than
the
private
sector?
In
terms
of
you
know,
women
businesses
are
minority,
businesses,
I
mean
in
terms
of
inclusion
and
participation,
or
you
know
is.
Is
it
a
factor
of
like
you
know
where
government
was
couple
years
ago
to
where
we
are
now?
E
There's
a
two-part
answer
to
that
because
if
you
remember
back
in
2013
2014,
the
city
was
had
also
been
the
recipient
of
some
of
the
stimulus
money,
the
era
money,
and
so
there
were
projects
that
were
shovel-ready,
that
there
were
fun
ready
to
be
put
towards
those
projects.
We
were
ready
to
be
built
and
the
government
was
was
actually
quite
nimble
in
that
regard
and
had
projects
ready
to
go
and
be
built.
And
so
that's
why
we
were
able
to
keep
people
working.
E
But
in
general
the
government
is
better
at
this
than
the
private
sector
is
and
I
think
about
it.
Is
it
just
will
to
do
it?
So
we
do
find
when
we
talk
about
our
equity
and
inclusion
projects
that
if
the
private
sector
was
doing
as
well
as
the
government
was
doing
with
regard
to
its
equity
and
inclusion
programs,
there
might
not
be
a
disparity.
What
the
reality
is.
E
They're
not
know
some
private
sector
companies
do
have
high
equity
inclusion
numbers
because
it's
just
a
matter
of
their
business
model
but
for
the
most
part,
people,
as
you
all
know,
tend
to
hire
and
recruit
and
train
and
promote
people
who
look
like
them
and
that's
not
always.
You
know
women
and
people
of
color,
okay,.
A
Thank
you
and
Miss
Kitty
of
them
I
just
want
to
tell
you
I
mean
you
know
we
have
a
very
friendly
committee
meetings
nobody's
going
to
do
a
godless
thing.
You
know
for
you
and
all
that
stuff,
but
I've.
Let
me
ask
you
this
I
mean
when
you
look
at
like
the
minority
business
participation
piece
I
mean
you
know.
I
looked
on,
one
of
the
slides
I
mean
we're
at
about
twenty
percent.
The
goal
is
thirty-two
percent,
I
mean
what
do
we
have
to
do
to
get
to
thirty-two
percent
I
mean
you
know.
A
What
are
the
things
that
are
gonna
have
to
be
extraordinary
for
us
and
get
there,
or
especially
within
the
context
of
just
the
answer
that
was
just
given
about
how
many
government
does.
It
may
be
a
little
bit
better
than
the
private
sector.
I
mean
how
do
we
incentivize
or
push
the
private
sector
to
get
to
thirty
two
percent
yeah.
B
That's
a
good
question
mr.
chair
and
I
think
the
so.
I
think
the
context
of
that
twenty
percent
is
important.
If
you'll
note
I
know
from
last
year,
I
think
the
numbers
are
similar
with
the
minority
utilization.
If
you
look
at
it
from
2011
2012
2013
right
one
on
the
Commissioner,
the
department,
human
rights
set,
those
higher
goal,
numbers
there's
been
a
significant
increase,
I
think
2013.
The
numbers
were
around
11
or
fourteen
percent,
and
so
there's
been
a
significant
increase
during
that
time.
So
I
think
just
the
presence
of
that
goal.
B
It's
significant
I
also
think
the
additional
resources
are
significant
and
should
have
a
positive
impact
as
well.
We're
actually
filling
a
position
from
affirmative
action
officer
within
the
division
coming
up
here
in
the
next
month
or
so,
and
plan
to
use
that
position
to
review
contractors
and
what
they're
doing
to
reach
out
to
these
communities
and
bring
in
more
workers
from
minority
and
female
background.
So
I
think
that
those
efforts
together
should
ever
significant
impact
on
that
and
I
think
that's
that
go
that
will
go
a
long
way
towards
getting
us.
A
You
get
to
that
slide
on
your
presentation,
I'm,
sorry
movie
at
line
yeah.
Can
you
get
that
slide?
I,
yep
I
think
it's
that
one.
So
you
know
when
you
talk
about
just
means
the
increases
I
mean.
Are
we
trying
to
study
these
increases
to
explain
why
there
were
increases
of?
Maybe
you
know
one
or
two
percent
about
four
percent
or
any
of
that
stuff
so
that
we
actually
have
a
good
sense
of
you
know
how
we
work
towards
32.
B
Yeah
I
mean
so
mr.
chair
I
think
this
slide.
You
know
the
slides
are
providing
very
basic
data
and
there
is
probably
more
in-depth
data
provided
in
the
report
that
we've
linked
and
then
we
also
have.
If
you
want
to
go
through
a
project
by
project.
We
have
that
information
more
than
raw
data
available
as
well
and
I.
Think
some
of
it
varies
by
project.
Some
of
it
varies
by
contractor.
As
director
corbel
mentioned.
B
You
know:
companies,
private
sector
companies,
some
of
their
inclusion
numbers
are
reflected
by
their
company
philosophy,
their
business
model
and
how
committed
they
are
to
these
programs,
and
so,
depending
on
the
contractor,
you
have
working
on
the
city
projects.
They
can
either
meet
them.
You
know
the
standards
that
they
have
to
meet
or
they
can
go
above
and
beyond
so
I
think
that
can
have
a
reflection
on
the
numbers
and
then
the
size
of
the
contracts
that
those
contractors
have.
B
So
there
are
a
lot
of
those
variables
in
place,
but
again
I
think
moving
in
as
a
whole
as
a
program,
you
have
sort
of
those
structural
components
with
the
affirmative
action
officer
and
the
additional
resources
that
are
allocated
to
that
in
ways
we
can
leverage.
Those
is
a
division
towards
moving
either
programs
using
those
numbers
upwards.
All
right.
E
Mr.
chair
I
think
you're
also
asking
about
how
to
increase
the
supply
of
workers
in
the
workforce
and
what's
being
done
about
that
in
the
metro
area,
and
so
there
are
there's
there's.
This
is
a
layered
and
very
complicated
answer,
because
it's
the
same
answer
that
people
get
when
you
talk
about
the
graduation
rates.
When
you
talk
about
achievement
in
school,
what
what's
happening
with
that?
E
So
it
really
is
a
factor
of
making
construction
work
or
filling
construction
work
as
an
attractive
alternative
and,
as
we
all
know,
we've
been
paying
attention
to
where
the
growth
in
jobs
is.
Construction
is
one
of
those
areas.
So
it
really
is
filling
to
young
people,
while
they're
in
middle
school
and
while
they're
in
high
school.
That
construction
is
an
attractive
occupation
and
it
is
not
and
it's
something
that
can
provide
a
good
living
and
it
is
an
alternative
to
going
to
for
your
school
and
becoming
I.
E
Don't
know
like
my
daughter
of
mass
communication,
major,
my
husband
are
still
trying
to
figure
out
how
he's
going
to
use
that
degree,
but
but
we
so
it
needs
to
start
early
and
there's
some
programs
in
town
that
are
going
out
and
trying
to
get
to
these
young
people
early
to
create
a
pipeline
of
a
female
and
minority
workers
into
those
training
programs.
But
it
really.
E
It
really
is
a
fact
about
supply
as
well,
because
that's
why,
when
there's
a
lot
of
work
going
on,
then
it
looks
like
the
numbers
go
down,
but
we're
not
creating
that
supplies
fast
enough.
So
it
is
convincing
young
people
that
this
occupation
is
out
there
and
supporting
those
programs
that
go
out
and
try
to
appeal
to
those
folks,
like
my
daughter
who
may
have
no
some
education
in
something
that
might
not
be
yielding
the
type
of
career
that
there
that
they
thought
they
would
have
and
attracting
them
into
the
occupation.
E
A
C
Thank
you
appreciate
it.
I
have
a
couple
questions.
I'm
a
little
bit
confused
about
the
section
on
the
report
to
talks
about
good
faith,
effort,
reviews
and
there's.
It
says
that
through
the
fourth
quarter,
21
out
of
46
projects
met
the
goals,
minority
and
business
inclusion,
and
do
we
have
good
faith
effort
requirements
also
for
the
force,
inclusion
and
okay.
Let
me
go
back
to
that
piece.
Then,
when
we
talk
about
the
goals
they
didn't
meet,
are
those
the
goals
that
we
set
or
the
goals
that
they
set
on
their
projects
for
business
inclusion,
so.
E
So
in
the
link
document,
there's
a
little
bit
better
explanation
about
what
good
faith
effort
to.
So
let
me
just
stretch
it
out
there
something
good
thumbnail
view
when
a
when
a
project
is
is
the
the
department
looks
for
workforce
looks
well.
Let
me
get
some
for
business,
looks
at
the
scope
of
work
in
the
engineering
drawings
and
etc
and
set
the
goal
based
on
what
we
can
really
expect
to
be
accomplished
on
that
project
based
on
the
supply
of
businesses
and
our
directories.
So
there's
a
capital
business.
So
we
get.
E
We
have
a
little
more
flexibility
in
how
we
get
business
goals
with
the
workforce
gold
that
gold
was
established
by
the
commissioner
at
the
Department
of
Human
Rights.
So
when
a
workforce,
so
that
said
on
the
project
is
thirty,
two
percent,
because
that's
the
goal
that
the
commissioner
said
for
the
Metro
when
a
workforce
old
except
for
women,
is
that
at
six
percent
pacifico
that
the
commissioner
said
over
at
the
Department
of
Human
Rights.
E
So
what
happens
with
good
faith
efforts
throughout
a
project
when
a
company
decides
when
it's
selected
to
work
on
a
city
project?
It
has
a
a
workforce
that
it
comes
in
with
and
what
the
staff
is
monitoring
through.
Their
compliance
work
is
when
that
work
force
as
inflows
how
many
women
and
minorities
are
coming
into
the
workforce,
and
they
do
that
through
their
the
payrolls
that
they're
watching
come
in
to
to
the
software
system
that
we
have
in
the
department.
C
So
they're
definitely
connected
and
they
are,
and
so
when
I
read
something
that
says,
21
out
of
the
46
only
announced
a
just
to
emphasize
where
I
come
in
when
I
see
those
numbers
only
21
out
of
the
46,
that's
not
even
half
actually
met
the
goals
for
business
inclusion
and
then
I
I
understand
that
getting
those
businesses
in
there
is
also
what's
going
to
help
with
the
workforce.
I'm
saying
we're,
21
isn't
good
enough
and
when
what
maybe
we
I
totally
agree,
we
need
to
train
people.
C
We
need
to
get
them
interested
in
these
careers.
We
need
to
be
building
it
all
the
way
up,
and
then
we
also
have
to
be
having
really
clear
expectations
and
raise
them,
and
maybe
some
consequences
for
those
26,
some
hasalimit
that
but
who
didn't
reach
their
goals.
Why
didn't
you
reach
them?
What
are
you
going
to
do
next
time
when
you
come
in
and
you
want
to
get
a
contract
now
and
and
it
what
should
our
expectations
beyond
you?
And
so
this.
E
Is
your
counselor
of
importance?
You
raise
an
excellent
point.
You
know
after
much
a
lot
of
case
law,
a
lot
of
changes
to
kind
of
constitutional
challenges,
changes
to
processes.
You
know
back
in
the
old
days
when
companies
or
government
first
started
to
do
these
kinds
of
programs.
They
would
set
a
goal
or
no
say
the
goal
with
ten
percent,
and
if
a
company
came
in
and
didn't
reach
that
ten
percent
me
just
wouldn't
give
the
business
to
that
company.
E
Well,
a
lot
of
company
started
to
sue
and
say,
look
we're
doing
the
best
that
we
can
there's
just
nothing
out
here
and
they
said
well
prove
to
us
that
you're
doing
the
best
that
you
can
to
get
to
the
ten
percent
you're
just
failing
to
do
that.
So
that's
when
the
whole
concept
of
good
faith
efforts
are
rolled,
so
there's
a
multi-step
process
that
a
company
has
to
go
through
in
order
to
achieve
a
goal.
It's
not
mad.
E
If
you
know
you
have
to
advertise,
you've
got
to
invite
you
have
to
evaluate
you
have
to
do
all
of
those
things.
So
we
believe
in
the
civil
rights
department.
Company
goes
to
all
of
those
steps,
they're
likely
going
to
meet
the
goal,
but
there
are
cases-
and
you
see,
21
of
them
where
they
go
through
all
of
those
steps
and
they
don't
meet
the
numerical
goal
that
fit
on
the
project.
Bus
now,
there's
a
team
of
staff
inside
the
civil
rights
department
that
meets
about
two
or
three
times
a
week.
E
There
is
a
good
faith
effort,
evaluation
team
and
they
have
very
stringent
evaluation
that
they
go
through
to
look
at
how
well
a
company.
I
did
on
all
of
those
dips
that
it
took
to
try
to
get
to
that
goal
and
they
didn't
get
to
the
numerical
goal,
but
yeah
we
think
you
did.
You
did
in
good
faith
attempt
to
get
there
and
we
have
turned
some
company
down
first,
because
they
didn't
do
what
they
were
supposed
to
be
in
order
to
meet
the
goal.
E
E
C
B
Councilmember
garden
and
mr.
chair,
the
46
pre-award
reviews
are
done
prior
to
award
and
so
on
these
projects,
where
there
is
a
goal,
meeting
the
goal
or
demonstrating
good
faith
efforts
as
a
condition
of
award,
and
so
on
me.
What
you
see
is
the
21
projects
that
committed
to
meeting
a
project
goals
they're
awarded
because
they're
you
know,
they've
outlined
the
path
for
how
they're
going
to
meet
the
goal.
B
E
I,
no,
no,
unlike
don't
have
to
be
here
long
enough
to
understand
the
shorthand
and
some
of
the
questions.
Those
of
mr.
chair,
a
Cosmo,
important
I,
think
you're,
asking
if
I,
if
I
encourage
you
correctly
when,
when
a
good
faith
effort
is
denied,
then
who
get
the
contract
so
the
way
this
happens,
the
the
city
looks
at
you
know
the
three
lowest
responsive,
responsible
bidders.
We
get
to
do
a
good
faith
effort
evaluation
on
the
one.
E
E
With
the
Department
of
the
purchasing
department
and
their
project
managers
to
say,
we
may
need
to
go
out
and
rebid
this,
because
something
happened
in
the
process
and
we
weren't
able
to
satisfy
the
city
value
for
equity
and
inclusion.
We
need
to
do
some
different
things,
so
we
have
that
conversation.
C
E
Now,
I
better,
not
doctrine
that
it
was
here
counselor
report
in
the
report.
When
you
look
at
the
report,
you
will
see
numbers
for
clothes
projects.
Those
are
actually
finished,
but
this
number
is
indicative
of
what
may
be
in
the
pipeline.
Now
some
may
be
closed,
but
in
the
order,
those
are
the
evaluations
that
the
staff
conductive,
so
some
are
still
in
progress
and.
A
E
So
of
the
of
the
46
pre-award
reviews
that
happened
in
the
quarter,
some
of
the
projects
may
be
complete
because
they
could
get
done
in
three
months,
but
many
of
them
are
still
ongoing.
And
if
you
look
at
the
back
of
the
report
document
that
you
got
you'll
be
able
to
see
some
of
that
information.
So
they.
A
None
of
on
tents
numbers
any
other
comments
or
any
other
discussion
right,
Steve,
none.
I
will
move
this
item
to
be
receiving
the
file
any
discussion,
all
right,
all
those
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
aye
opposed
motion
carries
and
we
are
done
with
our
business.
So
we
will
adjourn
this
meeting.
Thank
you.
