Sami
is
traveling
on
a
family
matter
and
next
item
on
our
agenda
is
adoption
of
the
agenda
and
we
have
a
motion
by
councilmember
Frye
to
amend
the
agenda
to
include
under
the
order
of
resolutions.
The
resolution
that
we
just
read
supporting
the
x-games
in
Minneapolis
in
2017.
Is
there
a
second
to
that
motion?
Second,.
A
And

discussion,
seeing
none
all
in

say
aye

Are
there
any
other
additions

Seeing
none
of
motion
to
adopt
the
agenda,
as
amended,
is
in
order.
Some
of
it's
been
moved
and
seconded
any
discussion,
seeing
none
all
in
approval,
say:
aye
aye
opposed
that
carries
next
item.
Is
the
acceptance
of
the
minutes
of
the
regular
meeting
of
June,
16th
2017,
so
moved
sorry
minutes
have
been
moved
and
seconded
any
discussion,
seeing
none
all
in
approval,
say
aye
all
right
opposed
that
carries
next.
A
A
I
I
Item
number
5
is
directing
staff
to
prepare
recommendations
for
creating
a
matching
grant
program
to
help
qualifying
restaurants
and
small
businesses,
say
the
cost
of
sewer
access
charges
and
Americans
with
Disability
Act
facility
improvement.
With
report
back
to
the
community
development
and
regulatory
services
committee
by
July,
31st
2017,
this
item
is
one
where
early
signature
by
the
mayor
is
requested.
So
I
will
go
ahead.
I
am
sure
there
are
is
going
to
be
discussion
and
but
I
will
move
this
item.
I.
A
I
A
B
So
the
goal
here
just
to
be
clear
as
to
make
France
make
sure
franchises,
are
included
in
large
businesses.
Okay
and
I'll-
just
read
it
through
here.
So
it
says:
any
establishment
operated
pursuant
to
a
franchise
is
defined
in
Minnesota,
Statutes
8oc
point:
oh
one,
where
the
franchisor
and
franchisee
these
up
such
franchise
or
own
or
operate
an
aggregate
of
more
than
ten
locations
nationally
shall
be
considered
a
large
business.
So
therefore,
the
Faizan
will
be
faster
for
franchises,
like
McDonald's
and
Wendy's
and
Burger
King,
and
there
you
go.
B
So
the
problem
with
the
previous
amendment
that
I
had
written
was
that
it
had
defined
them
by
size,
I'm,
sorry
by
the
number,
and
so
what
what
we
previously
written
is.
It
said
if
you
have
an
entity
that
is
more
than
two
within
the
city
and
more
than
ten
outside
the
city
than
you
would
be
large,
but
then
I
started
to
think
about
several
different
entities
that
may
not
fall
within
that
category.
B
For
instance,
an
Arby's
that
would
not
have
more
than
two
within
the
city,
I,
couldn't
only
think
of
like
one
or
a
TGI,
Fridays
and
I
could
only
think
of
one
or
two
and
therefore
they
under
the
old
amendment
they
would
have
been
defined
as
small.
We
wanted
to
make
sure
they
were
defined
as
large.
Furthermore,
there
were
instances
in
which
a
a
corporately
owned
non
franchised
entity
would
have
fallen
within
the
small
category.
B
On
the
previous
amendment,
we
wanted
to
make
sure
they
are
large,
and
the
third
thing
that
this
amendment
does
is
ensures
that
small
I'm
sorry
entities
having
fewer
than
100
employees
at
the
location
would
be
defined
as
small.
Now
we
went
through
about
15
different
ways
of
wording
this
to
make
sure
that
it
was
legal
and
it
was
functional.
A
B
Corn,
so
DS
says,
except
in
D,
each
full
service,
restaurant
location
within
the
geographic
boundaries
of
the
city,
with
fewer
than
ten
locations,
so
excluding
entities
with
more
than
ten
locations
nationally
she'll
be
treated
as
unique
employer
for
purposes
of
determining
business
size.
So
if
you're
hundred
or
under
at
a
location,
you're
small,
so.
G
B
G
G
So
I
guess
my
concern
would
be
if
you
had
a
large
restaurant
or
you
had
three
large
restaurants
and
it
was
a
sole
proprietorship
and
you
owned
them
all.
It
was
you'd,
be
overseeing
all
supervising
all
employees,
but
they
happen
to
be
in
three
locations.
Then
you
be
on
a
slow
track,
but
if
they
were
all
in
one
location,
you'd
be
on
the
fast
track
of
a
large
business.
So
it
sounds
a
little
bit
like
a
carve-out
for
biggest
restaurants
and
so
I'm
concerned
about
that.
G
A
F
You,
madam
president,
so
just
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
it.
Councilmember
fry
of
the
the
intent
of
this
is
is
to
figure
out
on
which
track
these
businesses
would
kick
in
their
their
minimum
wage
increase,
whether
it's
a
five-year
track
or
the
seven-year
track,
but
it
is
not
to
exempt
or
to
leave
any
anyone
out
of
raising
the
wage,
correct,
correct.
F
J
You,
madam
chair
I,
just
wanted
to
speak
on
each
of
the
motion.
I'll
be
supporting
item
D
and
I.
That
was
what
I
understood
to
be
the
original
intent
of
the
motion
that
we
voted
on
unanimously.
Based
on
the
verbal
discussion.
We
had
and
I'll
be
voting
against
item
E,
just
because
it
is
that
carve
out,
for
it
is
a
relatively
small
number
of
businesses.
Part
of
my
concern,
and
especially
just
seeing
this
right
now,
which
happens:
that's
not
a
cookie.
J
It's
just
a
description
of
why
I'm
taking
this
vote
I
think
it
creates
a
lot
of
uncertainty
and
sort
of
winners
and
losers
within
the
same
kind
of
category.
So
you
know
we
have
bars
and
clubs
that
that
were
employed.
It
servers,
but
then
we
have
the
restaurant
and
some
restaurants
will
be
considered
large
if
they
have
multiple
locations
and
some
will
be
considered
small
if
they
have
multiple
locations
and
so
I
just
think.
It's
really
inconsistent.
J
It
seems
to
be
very
narrowly
focused
on
a
certain
set
of
business
owners,
and
so
therefore
I
I
just
really
thought
a
lot
of
the
public.
Testimony
that
we
had
about
folks
working
in
the
service
industry
was
really
compelling
to
me
that
there
are
a
lot
of
servers
that
are
doing
very
well
in
our
city
and
there
are
a
lot
of
servers
and
pits
workers
who
really
need
a
minimum
wage
increase
to
$15
an
hour
as
soon
as
possible,
so
I'm
not
going
to
support
moving
more
of
them
into
the
seven-year
category.
Thank
you
any.
D
A
I
A
I
E
A
K
Definition
of
micro
business
means
all
employees
that
employ
20
or
fewer
employees
calculated
pursuant
to
section
43
80,
and
the
purpose
of
this
is
strictly
for
the
notion
that
we're
going
to
be
doing
Studies
on
an
ongoing
basis
and
we're
also
contemplating
doing
support
programming
for
small
businesses
to
help
them
along,
and
it
was
requested
by
a
lot
of
the
small
businesses
alike,
racial
quarters
that
that
there's
a
there's,
a
definite
qualitative
difference
between
businesses
of
this
size
and
our
other
category
sizes.
So
if
it's
a
courtesy
and
to
that
notion,.
I
So
again,
I
am
NOT,
suggesting
anything,
a
farías
about
this
I,
just
I'm,
not
sure
where
it.
You
know
where
the
number
comes
from
again,
because
we've
used
different
numbers
in
the
past
and
we
haven't
yet
had
study
information
from
from
our
staff
that
helps
us
understand
is
there's
some
sort
of
unique
miss
to
businesses
that
are
20
and
under
that
tells
us
they
should
get
X
or
Y
support.
So
I'm
unclear
why
this
belongs
in
the
ordinance
and
certainly
not
opposed
to
getting
information
and
figuring
out.
I
How
do
we
target
support
the
small
business
I've
been
supportive
of
budget
dollars
and
all
sorts
of
things
that
are
intended
to
improve
very
much
needed
improvement
to
our
service
to
small
business,
so
I
just
still
feel
will
confuse
that's.
Why
I'm
a
vote
against
this,
not
against
the
intent
of
what
I
think
you're
doing.
J
You,
madam
chair,
not
a
suggestion
for
the
author
of
the
motion
that
perhaps
we
could,
instead
of
defining
this
in
ordinance
with
I,
don't
know
sort
of
that
impact
stuff.
So
I
know
that
we've
defined
micro
or
small
business
in
organizations
sick
time
law
with
under
six,
so
I
guess
what
I'm
trying
to
say
is
instead
of
creating
a
new
definition
in
law.
Perhaps
we
could
change
this
into
a
staff
direction
that
clarifies
that
the
study
that
councilmember,
Palmisano
and
reg
brought
the
staff
direction
about
on
Wednesday.
J
Maybe
we
could
have
been
that
staff
direction
or
offer
a
new
staff
direction
that
clarifies
that
the
study
should
take
a
specific
look
at
businesses
in
this
size
range
I
do
have
a
lot
of
businesses
right
around
this
number.
So
when
we
were
talking
about
Rand,
safe
and
sick
times,
some
of
us
who
have
a
lot
of
these
kind
of
midsize
businesses
I
was
not
comfortable
with
choosing
20
or
25
for
an
ordinance
because
it
creates
so
many
businesses
that
are
right
at
that
cutoff
level.
J
J
A
K
So
I,
you
know
I
understand
that
that
there
are
other
ways
to
perhaps
achieve
this
for
purposes
of
the
study,
but
insofar
as
that
were
prompted
to
do
said,
studies
and
prompted
to
do
such
support
programming
in
the
future,
in
part
motivated
by
the
potential
impacts
of
this
policy.
That
would
be
part
and
parcel
of
the
policy
that
initiated
our
of
our
willingness
to
do
it
to
any
degree
that
were
willing
to
do
at
the
future.
So
and
in
terms
of
a
number.
A
This
is
a
motion
that
I
mean
at
the
at
the
commute:
the
whole
non-hospital
residential
health
care
facilities,
including,
but
not
limited
to
nursing
care
facilities,
home
health
care
facilities,
assisted
living
facilities
and
residential
disability
facilities
that
rely
on
Medicare
Medicaid
reimbursement
rates
shall
be
considered
small
business,
so
I'm
going
to
move
to
delete.
That
is
there
a
second
moved
in
seconded
any
discussion,
seeing
none
all
in
approval,
say:
aye
aye
opposed
that
carries
and
then
I
have
a
staff
direction.
A
The
findings
to
committee
of
the
whole
on
August,
2nd,
2017
0
second,
been
moved
and
seconded
saw
to
speak
to
that,
and
my
intention
on
Wednesday
was
to
respond
to
what
has
been
pointed
out
to
me,
which
is
a
really
challenging
environment
and
anybody.
That's
watched.
The
news.
That's
going
on
nationally
understands
the
slippery
slope
that
is
Medicare
and
Medicaid
funding.
A
What
levers
can
be
moved
to
try
and
accommodate
the
wage
increases
that
will
happen
regardless
of
businesses
in
the
larger
small
category,
and
to
point
out
that
that
these
businesses
are
extremely
heavily
highly
regulated,
their
their
funding
sources
depend
on
federal
regulations
as
well
as
state
law
and
they're,
not
all
the
same,
and
so
I
think
helping
us
to
understand
it.
Actually,
what
the
challenges
of
each
individual
industry
will
be
helpful,
and
then
we
can
make
a
determination
where
people
follow
after
the
community
the
whole
report
and
honor.
A
G
You
very
much
Madam
President
and
I'm
supporting
the
staff
direction.
I
also
supported
pulling
the
motion
that
I
co-authored
about
this,
but
I
also
have
concerns
about
workers,
benefits
and
I
think
that
this
is
very
uncertain
times
when
it
comes
to
healthcare
and
also
was
trying
to
do
a
really
quick
job
of
learning,
all
the
various
statutes
and
laws
that
govern
it
and
restricted
in
rate
equalization
and
how
long
it
takes
if
costs
go
up
for
anybody
to
recover
from
medical
assistance.
G
So
this
was
a
limited,
a
look
at
a
limited
group
and
I
think
it's
worth
more
study
and
was
looking
into
more.
The
fear
that
I
had
was
actually,
as
there
were,
pressures
to
use
the
same
limited
funding
source
to
cover
the
rate
increases.
People
would
end
up
cutting
things
like
health
insurance
for
their
employees,
because
there's
not
very
many
options
of
where
to
cut
from
from
a
situation
like
that,
where
you
can't
just
say
I'm
going
to
raise
my
rate
because
the
state
would
say
no,
you
can't,
and
it's
like.
G
No,
you
can't
raise
your
rates.
We
set
your
rate,
so
I'm
nervous
about
it
and
I.
Think
that
the
industry
is
nervous
about
it.
Perhaps
we
were
trying
to
come
up
with
the
solution
a
little
more
quickly
than
was
wise
in
the
last
week
to
accommodate
it
into
the
ordinance,
so
I
appreciate
pulling
it
back
and
giving
it.
L
You
mentor
I
also
was
very
passionate
about
this
issue
and
remain
very
passionate
about
this
issue.
I
want
to
remind
us
that
the
single
single
biggest
threat
right
now
to
health
care
and
health
care
organizations
is
the
horrific
suggestion
that
the
Obama
care
bill
be
revoked
and
that
Medicare
and
Medicaid
reimbursements,
including
in
the
state
of
Minnesota,
be
cut.
If
that
happened,
all
of
these
businesses
could
pay
people
anything
they
wanted
and
they
still
wouldn't
be
able
to
stay
afloat.
L
So
we
are
unfortunately
at
the
we
are
caught
in
a
situation
where
what
happens
at
the
federal
level
is
going
to
screw
us
way
worse
than
any
minimum
wage
increase.
Would
because
the
bottom
line
is,
we
cannot
afford
to
have
these
businesses
operating
if
Medicare
and
Medicaid
are
cut,
we
don't
move
to
a
single-payer
health
care
system,
so
I
think
it's
really
important
to
note
that,
no
matter
what
we
do
here,
it
won't
matter
if
we
don't
fight,
what's
happening
at
the
federal
government
right
now,
as
it
pertains
to
health
care,
that's.
B
Thank
you,
madam
president,
two
council,
members,
cam
Gordon
and
Barbara
Johnson
I,
do
appreciate
you
removing
the
previous
item.
As
then
I
did
have
some
concerns
is
that
it
treated
everyone
the
exact
same
way
and,
and
there
are
some
entities
that
are
substantially
larger,
that
should
be
able
to
afford
that
increase
to
$15
in
the
near
future.
So
I
appreciate
the
fact
that
we're
taking
a
step
back
and
then
ultimately
looking
at
this
for.
A
J
J
It
was
related
to
X
offender
transition
or
employment
programs
and
I
understood
after
hearing
from
stakeholders,
including
the
Council
of
nonprofits,
that
the
way
this
was
written
left
out,
certain
programs,
like
youth
programs
and
just
I'm,
not
the
expert
on
this
issue
again,
because
I
thought
someone
else
was
bringing
it,
but
that
this
caused
the
problem
related
to
these
specific
kinds
of
programs
and
putting
them
into
the
small
business
category.
I
think
it
was
similar
to
that
health
issue
that
we
just
discussed
so
I'll
move
this.
My
staff
is
passing
out
the
motion.
A
I
Madam
chair,
you
know
this
is
an
item
that
was
added
at
the
committee
of
the
whole
and
I
think
we
did
not
have
a
lot
of
discussion
about
it,
maybe
in
part,
because
some
of
us
had
not
had
outreach
from
these
facilities
prior
to
the
meeting
and
just
weren't
sure
what
would
be
the
implications.
I
will
say
that
since
the
committee,
the
whole
I
have
had
outreach
as
well
from
stakeholders
and
again
I.
Think
it's
one
of
these
situations
where
there's
good
intentions,
but
it
creates
the
winners
and
losers
situation
where
you
know.
I
Why,
then,
wouldn't
this
type
of
program
be
in
the
slow
list?
And
so
you
kind
of
get
into
a
continuous
line
of
who
should
or
shouldn't
be
based
in
small
versus
large
if
it's
not
based
on
your
size
or
those
other
definitions
that
we
have
now
set
in
the
in
the
ordinance
Twin
Cities
rise
is
one
of
the
organizations
that
I
heard
from
that
just
wanted
to
be
clear.
K
The
intention
wasn't
to
hold
wages
down
for
a
certain
category
is
to
make
sure
that
the
the
training
part
of
the
social
enterprise
continuum
was
accommodated
for
and
I'm,
not
even
sure
that
this
was
the
right
way
to
do
that.
It
was
the
what
staff
came
up
with
and
so
I
implored
the
people
who
have
had
this
very
unique
niche
business
to
come
forward
and
provide
a
better
clarification.
Not
all
that
information
came
up
in
a
short
period
of
time
and
so
I
think
staff
can
further
work
on
that.
K
So
we
don't
conflate
the
nonprofit
program
for
fee
of
for-profit
social
enterprise
programs,
which
they
fully
embraced
playing
their
employees
once
they
get
through
the
reentry
portion
of
the
counseling.
They
fully
embrace
the
raison
215th.
They
really
are
right
on
the
forefront.
They
did
not
want
an
exemption
from
that.
They
just
wanted
to
have
some
time
to
accommodate
their
charitable
component
with
their
business
component,
but
again
complex,
not
really
recognized
in
our
current
study,
something
that
we
have
homework
to
be
done.
K
So
I
will
leave
that
as
an
informal
staff
direction
to
look
further
redefining
these
programs.
Their
differences
actually
don't
harm
them,
because
we
want
to
make
sure
we
don't
go
from
500
people
served
to
200,
because
we
didn't
kind
of
figure
that
out
so
I
will
allow
I
will
be
supporting
the
deletion,
knowing
that
we
have
more
work
to
do
for.
A
M
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
just
wanted
to
share
my
comments
with
regard
to
this
minimum
wage
increase
and
kind
of
just
get
the
ball
rolling
on
this
I,
probably
am
the
only
one
in
opposition
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
escape.
My
opposition
to
start
came
to
City
Hall,
with
the
goal
of
making
lives
of
North
siders
better
of
giving
the
north
side
the
best
hands
to
succeed.
I
cannot
support
this
ordinance
because
simply
enough
I
do
not
think
this
ordinance
is
good
policy.
M
I
think
it
has
a
chance
actually
to
hurt
the
north
side
and
North
siders.
My
concerns
about
it
are
boiled
down
to
a
few
issues.
One
is
the
impact
on
small
business
owners
and
entrepreneurs
of
color
2
is
the
impact
on
the
working
poor
who
work
outside
the
city
of
Minneapolis
but
live
in
the
city,
and
even
those
who
work
in
the
city
and
3
is
youth
employment
in
training.
First,
there
is
an
arguable
advantage
to
higher
minimum
wage.
People
will
earn
more
money
in
equity.
M
M
But
the
question
we
have
to
face
is:
how
does
this
one
change
work
within
our
local
economy,
I'm
concerned
about
the
impact
of
this
policy
because
of
the
extended
or
unintended
consequences
of
raising
the
minimum
wage
to
$15
as
an
hour
I'm,
confident,
Target,
McDonald's
and
plenty
of
other
big
companies
will
be
able
to
accommodate
a
higher
minimum
wage.
The
salaries
and
benefits
they
pay
to
employees
are
an
insult
when
compared
to
the
salaries
paid
executives
in
the
dividends
and
profits
paid
out
to
shareholders.
M
The
fact
that
they
have
to
face
government
prodding
to
pay
people
who
make
their
companies
work
is
equally
insulting.
But
what
I'm
concerned
about
our
small
businesses,
independent
businesses,
minority
and
immigrant
owned
businesses
and
their
ability
to
sustain
$15
an
hour
in
that
accidental
fight
we
face
within
equity?
We
shouldn't
forget
that
the
best
chance
for
wealth
creation
is
when
people
have
color
on
and
operate
their
own
businesses.
M
Entrepreneurs
of
color
also
hire
more
people
of
color
at
$15
an
hour
with
the
minimum
wage
is
an
increased
barrier
to
entrepreneurs
and
small
business
owners.
I
represent
the
best
way
to
create
lasting
wealth
in
North.
Minneapolis
is
to
have
vibrant
merchants
in
businesses.
Hiring
northsiders
those
same
businesses
are
the
ones
that
make
our
streets
exciting
and
desirable.
We
have
faced
many
challenges
and
drawing
businesses
to
West
Broadway
North
Minneapolis,
and
this
will
be
another.
You
don't
need
to
change
this
chase
businesses
from
North
Minneapolis.
M
We
actually
need
to
do
more
to
bring
business
to
North
Minneapolis,
while
the
city
is
increasing
our
commitment
to
the
business
technical
assistance
program,
V,
tab,
technical
assistance,
isn't
the
problem
as
plenty
of
white
entrepreneurs
and
small
business
owners
can
attest.
A
little
bit
of
money
can
go
a
long
way
to
making
the
technical
barriers
to
starting
your
own
business,
manageable.
M
I
cannot
support
this
policy
because
I
think
it
is
going
to
make
it
harder
for
the
poor
who
live
in
Minneapolis
to
stay
in
Minneapolis.
There
is
a
non-profit
in
North
Minneapolis
called
psyche
card.
They
have
helped
thousands
of
young
North
siders
earn
money,
develop
job
skills,
prepare
for
future
employment
and
bake
delicious
cookies.
They
will
not
be
able
to
continue
their
operations
as
they
do
now
if
they
have
to
pay
a
fifteen-year-old
$15
an
hour
by
not
allowing
for
a
teenage
wage.
M
M
Many
of
the
employers
I
have
spoken
to
have
said
that
if
they
have
to
pay
a
16-year
old
15
dollars
an
hour,
they're-
probably
not
going
to
hire
that
16
year
old,
that
they
might
as
well
hire
a
19
year
old
for
the
position
and
not
have
to
worry
about
the
scheduling,
maturity
and
performance
issues
of
a
high
school
learner.
If
we
make
it
harder
for
teenagers
and
youth
in
North
Minneapolis
to
get
that
first
job
to
develop
the
skills
that
will
make
them
marketable
as
employees,
we
will
be
failing
those
who
need
our
help.
M
The
most
I
think
that
this
pertinence
will
have
several
unintended
consequences
that
will
work
against
the
very
problems
we
are
trying
to
confront.
I
think
this
ordinance
was
found
in
small
business
creation,
particularly
among
our
minority
communities,
because
of
the
increased
cost
of
business
for
those
who
don't
have
capital
to
scare
or
small
businesses.
Creation
will
occur
in
the
adjacent
suburbs,
such
as
st.
Louis,
Park,
Golden,
Valley,
Robin,
Vale,
crystal
Brooklyn,
Center,
Brooklyn,
Park,
Rapids,
Columbia,
Heights,
etc.
Minneapolis
will
miss
out.
M
Another
impact
of
this
ordinance
will
probably
be
an
expansion
of
black
market
cash
under
the
table,
jobs
that
creates
a
whole
new
set
of
problems
about
the
safety
of
workplaces.
The
enforcement
of
workplace
rules
I
think
this
ordinance
may
distort
the
regional
flavor
market,
drawing
in
a
broader
range
of
applicants
to
work
in
lower
end
jobs
and
pushing
out
the
current
job
holders,
in
other
words,
with
the
$15
minimum
wage,
suburban
Knights
may
displace
the
very
people.
M
This
ordinance
is
supposed
to
help
while
forcing
people
to
work
further
from
the
city
and
thereby
making
them
poor.
Finally,
I
think
this
order
in
could
have
the
impact
of
making
Minneapolis
already
the
most
expensive
place
to
live
in
the
state
even
more
expensive.
Many
of
the
cities.
We
are
emulating,
with
the
ordinance
already
too
expensive
for
most
people.
Most
average
people
to
live
in
an
increase.
M
Minimum
wage
hasn't
changed
that
Seattle,
San,
Francisco
and
others
are
all
playgrounds
for
upwardly
mobile
white
yuppies,
but
they
import
for
people
of
color
to
work
their
service
and
industry
jobs
before
shuttling
them
off
to
increasingly
poor
suburbs.
I
can't
support
that
happening
in
Minneapolis.
The
city
of
Minneapolis
is
just
one
part
of
a
large
metropolitan
area.
Most
of
the
people
who
live
in
Minneapolis
work
outside
the
city
and
most
of
the
people
who
work
in
Minneapolis
live
outside
of
it.
We
cannot
make
Minneapolis
an
island.
M
There
is
an
incredible
pressure
to
pass
this
minimum
wage
expression
ordinance.
The
new
ones
of
a
thoughtful
policy
discussion
is
impossible
in
the
event
of
political
season
and
I
know
that
I
will
face
incredible
political
challenges
for
this,
as
in
the
sole
vote
in
opposition
to
popular
item,
c4
and
I
expect
to
be
the
sole
bug
here
and
I'm
comfortable
with
that
and
I'm.
J
You,
madam
chair,
I'll,
be
brief
because
I
know
there
are
many
council
members
who
want
to
speak.
I
just
make
two
brief
points.
First,
I
just
want
to
really
thank
the
workers
who
are
here
today,
but
who
have
been
door-knocking
and
showing
up
and
calling
and
putting
blood,
sweat
and
tears
into
raising
the
minimum
wage
to
$15
an
hour
in
Minneapolis.
This
is
your
work
and
your
victory
today,
and
we
are
just
the
public
servants
who
got
to
be
here
to
vote
on
the
good
work
that
you've
done.
So
thank
you.
J
It's
so
meaningful
I
also
want
to
say
again,
I
say
this
a
lot,
but
I
represent
a
war
that
has
hundreds
of
small
businesses
and
I'm
ready
to
move
beyond,
hitting
small
businesses
against
workers,
I
believe
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis.
We
can
have
policies
that
protect
workers,
that
don't
mean
people
are
living
in
poverty,
working
more
than
full
time
and
have
a
straw
and
thriving
small
business
community
and
that
we,
as
a
city
council,
need
to
do
more
proactively
to
support
our
small
businesses.
It
can't
just
be
about
keeping
workers
down.
J
You
are
important
drivers
of
our
economy,
you
employ
workers,
and
we've
heard
both
from
workers
and
from
you
that
you
treat
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
you
treat
your
workers
like
family
and
that's
important
and
we're
here
to
say
we
need
to
support
that
so
again.
This
is
a
huge
victory
for
workers
in
Minneapolis.
Thank
you
for
all
over
your
work
and
thank
you
for
all
that
you've
done.
Councilmember.
N
Thank
you,
madam
council
president.
While
I'm
aware
not
everyone
will
be
happy
with
this
new
municipal
minimum
wage
I
do
believe.
This
is
an
important
and
perhaps
the
best
thing
we
can
do
to
aid
the
best
economic
disparities
we
have
in
this
city.
I.
Think
this
economic
disparity
is
also
connected
to
racial
disparities,
criminal
justice
reform,
immigrant
tensions
and
so
many
other
issues
that
we
face
to
the
city.
N
So
I
will
be
voting
YES
on
the
minimum
wage
ordinance
today
and
I
also
want
to
acknowledge
that
we've
had
hundreds
of
conversations
about
this,
some
formal
and
in
structured
meetings,
but
many
incredibly
informal
as
we
go
about
our
daily
lives.
I've
learned
so
much
more
about
some
of
the
workers
in
our
city
and
in
my
neighborhood
and
I've
been
honored
that
they're
willing
to
answer
my
questions,
share
personal
information
about
their
lives
and
their
finances
and
all
of
their
struggles,
a
willingness
to
put
forth
a
plan
for
this
on
a
city.
N
Only
level
is
courageous
and,
to
be
honest,
it's
been
a
journey
for
me
to
get
here.
I
walk
into
this
with
eyes,
wide
open
and
a
commitment
to
check.
In
and
make
sure
that
it
has
its
intended
consequences,
I've
also
heard
from
a
lot
of
people
that
are
apprehensive
about
this
I
deeply
respect.
Some
of
the
comments
of
my
councilmember
Kosmos,
my
colleague,
councilmember
yang
and
I.
Take
them
to
hearts
here
are
the
things
we've
done
in
response
that
we've
extended
the
implementation
time
for
our
city's
largest
businesses
from
four
to
five
years.
N
This
extension
was
supported
by
a
wide
variety
of
chamber,
big
corporations
and
other
businesses,
and
also
supported
by
labor
unions
such
as
SEIU.
We've
stretched
the
implementation
of
the
$15
minimum
wage
for
small
businesses
to
seven
years,
two
years
longer
than
large
businesses.
This
provides
more
time
for
small
businesses
who
have
expressed
concern,
and
it
is
one
way
to
lessen
the
impact
of
not
having
or
introducing
a
separate
tip
tier
of
workers
that
would
really
be
a
sub
minimum
wage.
We've
also
added
a
big
study
on
the
impact
of
this
measure.
N
N
This
is
the
city
we
want
our
children
to
grow
up
in
and
now
it's
set
up
to
be
markedly
better
and
we
couldn't
have
done
it
without
the
help
of
council
members
that
have
been
here
longer
and
for
their
guidance
through
this
process,
and
we
couldn't
have
done
it
without
the
participation
from
residents
of
our
city
and
small
business
owners
who
see
all
the
complexities
that
they
face
every
day
and
running
a
business
and
who
worked
so
hard
to
have
a
workplace
where
their
staff
are
taken.
Care
of.
N
B
You
know
we're
in
this
period
right
now,
where
we've
got
this
gridlock,
ITAT,
the
state
and
federal
legislatures.
We've
got
a
Donald,
Trump
presidency
and
still
you
know,
I.
There
are
a
lot
of
people
that
say
that
cities
should
not
be
acting
that
we're
simply
creating
an
island.
The
city
shouldn't
be
leading
the
way
because
we're
getting
out
too
far
ahead
of
everyone
else,
so
I
I
could
not
disagree
more
I
think
that
cities
are
the
laboratory
of
democracy.
B
We
are
in
the
position
on
this
council
to
make
changes
to
make
improvements
to
author
ordinances
that
uplift,
those
who
are
struggling
and
right
now
in
this
city
we
have
a
lot
of
people
that
are
struggling.
We
know,
we've
got
a
massive
opportunity
gap,
we
know
we
have
communities
that
have
been
disenfranchised
and
that
have
been
pushed
down
and
that
have
not
been
making
$15
an
hour
and
I
think
back
to
four
years
ago.
Four
years
ago,
I
remember
people
asking
me
well.
B
Would
you
first
of
all
four
years
ago,
would
you
support
a
minimum
wage
increase?
Not
a
single
person
up
here
campaigned
on
a
minimum
wage.
It's
a
new.
It
was,
it's
become
a
new
thing.
Not
a
single
person
up
here
campaigned
on
earn
sick
and
space
time,
but
it's
moved
substantially
and
I
credit
a
lot
of
people
in
this
room
for
having
made
that
movement
I
mean
I
and
I.
You
do
deserve
a
lot
of
credit.
B
You
deserve
a
ton
of
credit,
because
we
have
literally
moved
from
a
point
where
it
wasn't
even
part
of
a
platform
to
the
point
when
almost
every
single
person
is
putting
it
on
their
lid
pieces.
That's
a
big
change,
that's
a
really
big
change
and
I.
Think
it's
a
change
ultimately
for
the
better
and
I'll
say
you
know.
Two
years
ago,
two
and
a
half
years
ago,
I
stood
up
at
the
front
of
the
room
with
with
councilmember
Cano
at
the
labor
center
and
I
announced
my
support
for
a
minimum
wage
increase.
B
Councilmember
kado
announced
her
support
for
a
minimum
wage
increase
at
$15
I.
At
the
time
was
not
ready
to
make
that
commitment,
I,
I,
didn't
know
enough,
I
didn't
have
enough
information,
and-
and
you
guys
pushed
me
and
I
credit-
you
with
that
and
ultimately
I
think
it
is
the
right
decision
simultaneously.
B
I
also
believe
strongly
that
we
need
to
account
for
our
small
local
businesses
in
this
city
and
I'm,
proud
that
the
ordinances
that
we
are
putting
forward
today
does
that
I
believe
that
small
local
businesses
are
a
a
massively
important,
both
character,
building
and
cultural
building
segment
of
this
city
and
I.
Think
this
ordinance
does
exactly
that.
I'm
proud.
B
F
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I'm
really
proud
to
be
here
today,
testing
this
vote
and
just
reflecting
back
on
how
this
conversation
has
evolved
over
the
years
since
2013.
This
movement
has
shaped
me
as
a
candidate
has
shaped
me
as
an
elected
official
and
I'm
very
thankful
to
have
been
able
to
stand
with
you
every
step
of
the
way
throughout
this
process.
I
know
that
this
policy
was
born
out
of
the
struggle.
F
So
I
am
very
excited
to
pass
the.
So
today
it's
surreal
we're
one
of
the
few
cities
in
the
nation
who
have
taken
on
economic
justice
head-on
through
an
institutional
approach,
and
that
is
because
Minneapolis
is
a
strong
and
vibrant
organizing
city
that
stands
up
for
justice
and
really
uplifts
the
heart
and
the
experiences
of
our
people.
F
G
You
very
much
Madam,
President
and
I'm,
supporting
this
ordinance,
there's
just
a
couple
things
that
I
wanted
to
say:
I,
don't
need
to
repeat
everything,
but
I
really
appreciate
all
the
comments
of
my
colleagues.
I
think
this
is
a
really
important
step
that
we're
taking
to
create
a
more
local,
just
economy
here
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
and
probably
more
now
more
than
ever,
we
have
to
look
at
what
we
can
do
at
the
local
level
to
make
a
difference.
I
do
think
this
is
just
one
part
of
what
we
have
to
do.
G
We
should
celebrate.
We
should
congratulate
ourselves
and
everybody
else
as
we
move
forward,
but
I
think
it's
really
important
that
we
think
about
what's
happening
when
we
move
forward.
We
heard
some
serious
fears
and
concerns
from
councilmember,
yang
and
I.
Think
there's
going
to
be
a
lot
of
people
out
there
who
have
fears
and
concerns
for
some
of
them.
G
No
doubt
they're
going
to
want
to
see
those
fears
and
concerns,
realized
and
they're
going
to
be
looking
for
proof
about
how
they
were
right
and
how
it
didn't
work,
and
it's
up
to
us
to
show
ourselves
how
we
can
make
it
work.
We
need
to
make
sure
that
we're
going
to
those
businesses
that
are
doing
a
great
job
locally
and
we're
supporting
them
and
we're
helping
support
the
local
economy
by
doing
that,
I'm
going
to
make
a
point
to
thinking
about
next
time.
I
want
to
go
shopping.
G
A
lot
of
predictions
are
that
when
this
happens,
there
are
some
job
loss.
71,000
people
will
see
an
increase.
This
is
the
study
that
we
had
predicted
it,
but
there's
a
potential
that
there
might
be
a
little
bit
of
a
job
loss
as
well.
So
what
are
we
going
to
do
to
make
sure
that
all
those
people
who
are
having
trouble
finding
a
job
get
some
support
from
the
city
and
from
each
others
to
get
a
job,
get
employed
and
support
those
businesses?
G
So
let's
go
out
there
the
next
year
and
don't
forget
this
is
a
long
phasing
so
the
next
year,
the
next
year
and
the
next
year,
and
let's
be
checking
in
with
our
businesses,
let's
be
supporting
one
another
in
the
city.
Let's
show
those
small
businesses
that
that
the
workforce-
all
of
us
who
work
in
the
city
are
their
friend.
I
Thanks
man,
president,
you
know
this
is
my
last
year
on
the
City
Council,
and
you
know
it's
been
an
interesting
ceremony
to
see
how
issues
have
moved
forward
in
the
12
years.
That
I
have
been
really
honored
to
serve
here
and
I
have
to
say
this
is
the
one
that
really
just
scares
the
most
powerful
because
of
how
it
came
about.
I
This
is
really
this
is
movement
work
and
we
are
like
this
little
tiny
piece
of
it
up
here,
but
this
is
worker
movement
work.
This
is
worker
initiative
work.
This
is
the
work
we're
just
a
few
short
years
ago.
I
honestly,
people
like
this
is
a
crate.
This
is
crazy,
so
you're
going
to
change
minimum
wage
law
at
the
city
level
and
then
city
after
city
started.
Taking
up
that
cause
and
workers
and
the
twin
cities
said
we
need
to
tell
these
stories
and
I
will
say
you
know
this.
I
Woman
right
here
is
holding
up
a
sign
that
has
I
think
some
of
the
most
powerful
statistics
of
who
benefits.
You
know
you
lost
your
sign,
but
from
the
from
the
change
that
would
happen
with
a
municipal
minimum
wage.
Seventy
seventy
one
thousand
workers,
twenty
forty,
two
percent
of
black
workers,
54
percent
of
Latino
workers
and
those
statistics
are
powerful.
I
We
wouldn't
be
having
a
conversation
about
how
do
we
best
balance
these
great
needs
of
workers,
but
also
the
work,
the
needs
of
businesses,
which
are
real
if
Congress
and
our
states
have
been
doing
their
job
to
properly
index
in
increase
the
minimums
so
I
think
a
lot
of
my
colleagues
have
referenced
that
there's
a
lot
of
work
to
do
after
this
there's
going
to
be
intense
scrutiny
of
what
happens
with
this
minimum
wage
and
I.
Think
that's
right.
That's
right!
I
H
Thank
You
Madame,
president
I
I
was
hoping
I
would
speak
after
councilmember
Glidden
because
obviously,
but
that
word
she
shares,
speaks
to
many
of
the
people
in
this
room
and
what
we're
doing
as
a
city
and
I
wanted
to
acknowledge.
Council
vice-president
Glidden
in
her
work
and
bringing
this
forward
over
the
last
I'm
going
to
say
seven
years.
I
know
councilmember
price
said
this
wasn't
part
of
the
previous
gen
des,
but
I
was
I'm
reminded
in
2010
when
I
first
came
on
the
council.
H
I
said
you
know,
council
vice-president
councilmember
Glidden,
who
chaired
the
IGR
committee
and
I,
came
to
her
and
I
said.
I
think
we
need
to
raise
the
minimum
wage
in
the
state
and
in
the
country,
and
we
should
look
at
senator
Harkins
bill
at
960
nationwide
and
she
said
you
know
what
we
should
do
is
we
should
put
that
on
our
legislative
agenda
and
as
chair
is
that
committee,
if
you'd
bring
that
forward
I'd
be
happy
to
support
it.
H
So
some
of
us
have
been
talking
about
raising
the
minimum
wage
in
this
city
in
this
state
and
this
country
quite
a
while.
But
it
is
the
people
in
this
room
that
brought
this
to
action
at
the
city
level
and
as
council
eyes,
president
Glidden
mentioned
if
the
state
had
done
their
job
and
if
the
feds
had
done
their
job
and
the
election
had
turned
out
differently.
The
living
wage
of
the
Working
Families
agenda
that
mayor
Hodges
brought
forward
and
was
it
13
or
14,
would
be
a
moot
point.
H
We
would
be
moving
on
much
different
issues,
but
with
the
outcome
of
the
election
we
had
to
take
it.
This
up,
Minneapolis
has
to
lead
and
Minneapolis
leads
with
what
it
does
best.
It
leads
with
its
people
and
its
with
its
values
and
it's
the
values
that
we
brought
forward.
That
said,
no
one
should
work
full-time
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis
and
live
in
poverty.
So
when
you
begin
with
that
as
a
value
statement
now
we
just
have
to
work
out
the
details
and
the
details
have
been
worked
out
and
I.
H
Taking
this
up,
reexamining
making
sure
working
families
are
part
of
the
working
families
agenda
and
the
Working
Families
agenda
works
for
all
families,
including
small
businesses.
Is
your
big
big
moves?
We're
making
today
I'm
exceptionally
proud
to
be
a
part
of
it
and
looking
forward
to
more
courageous
conversations
that
we're
going
to
have
to
have
with
each
other
I
think
it's
important
to
mention
the
unintended
consequences,
many
of
which
the
council
member
yang,
had
Illustrated,
really
points
out
political
courage,
not
just
on
the
position
he's
taking,
but
things
we
need
to
be
cognizant
of.
H
We
need
to
make
sure
these
things
aren't
happening.
So
I
applaud
the
council
member
yang,
although
we're
not
going
to
vote
the
same
way
on
today's
motion
and
bringing
that
up
and
being
a
conscience
to
make
sure
we're
concerned
about
those
things,
we're
looking
for
those
kind
of
responses
and
we're
looking
as
a
community
on
how
we
can
make
sure
that
no
one
is
left
out
of
this
movement.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
the
opportunity
to
make
this
comments.
Madam
president,
I
look
forward
to
more
conversations
and
a
vote
this
morning.
O
You,
madam
chair
accord,
to
supporting
this
ordinance
today.
I
just
wanted
to
reflect
on
the
journey
that
it
took
to
get
here
and
what
a
long
way
we've
come.
I
think
it
was
very
powerful
at
our
public
hearing
out
of
the
170
or
so
speakers
believe
only
three
were
actually
opposed
all
outright
to
raising
the
wage
in
our
city.
I
noticed
that
as
well
when
it
comes
to
my
ward,
the
majority
of
small
business
owners
have
not
been
in
opposition.
O
I've
even
had
some
speaking
up
in
support
of
this,
and
it's
taken
time
to
get
there.
That's
councilmember
fry
said.
None
of
us
ran
on
increasing
the
minimum
wage.
I
know.
For
me,
a
real
turning
point
was
a
couple
of
years
ago,
as
I
was
thinking
about
this
issue
and
a
lot
of
folks
that
are
opposed
to
it
will
say.
O
If
you
raise
the
wage,
you
will
see,
prices
go
up
and
you
will
see
there
be
less
businesses
within
the
city
and
thinking
about
that
and
whether
you
believe
that
or
not
because
there's
a
lot
of
data
out
there
that
disproves
that,
especially
on
the
businesses
leaving
the
city.
But
if
you
think
about
that
for
a
minute,
you
think
about
the
inverse.
What
does
that
mean?
It
means
today
we
have
a
little
lower
prices
in
a
few
more
businesses
on
the
backs
of
workers
who
are
living
in
poverty,
and
that
to
me
is
unacceptable.
O
Every
situation
is
different
and
we
have
a
responsibility
to
stand
up
for
each
other,
because
we're
all
in
this
together.
I
just
wanted
to
also
speak
on
the
idea
of
the
tip
credit.
This
is
a
piece
that
has
been
brought
up
by
a
lot
of
servers
and
bartenders
they've
reached
out,
and
they
have
anxiety
over
concerns
of
losing
tips
over
concerns
of
changes
in
the
business
model
and
at
first,
when
I
heard
this
idea
of
the
tip
credit
I
have
to
say
it
seemed
reasonable.
O
O
So,
as
my
colleagues
have
said,
the
reality
is
we
are
just
getting
started
here
and
we
have
a
lot
of
work
ahead
and
I
hope.
All
of
those
who
brought
us
here
today
continue
to
stay,
engaged
and
involved
in
this,
because
the
concerns
the
fears,
the
anxieties,
that
people
have
run
unintended
consequences
are
things
we
need
to
carefully
monitor
for,
and
we
need
to
be
prepared
to
make
adjustments
along
the
way
to
make
sure
we're
getting
to
where
we
all
want
to
be
all
the
people
here.
O
No
matter
what
your
perspective
is,
you
all
want
the
same
outcome.
You
want
workers
to
do
better.
You
want
businesses
to
do
better.
You
want
there
to
be
more
jobs.
More
prosperity
in
our
cities,
so
if
we
all
work
together
on
that
I
think
we
can
get
there
through
this
I
think
this
is
the
right
step
today.
I
also
know
other
cities
around
us
are
going
to
be
taking
up
this
issue
as
well,
and
so
for
those
involved
here,
please
get
involved.
O
There
I
think
we
have
a
real
opportunity
to
see
leadership
happening
at
this
regional
level,
given
me
in
action
at
a
state
and
federal
level.
So
this
is
democracy,
it
isn't
always
quiet.
It
isn't
always
easy.
It's
oftentimes
messy,
but
we
are
here
today
because
of
it
and
kudos
to
all
of
you
who
weighed
in
on
this
issue.
Whatever
your
opinion
is,
you've
helped
to
drive
this
day
and
get
this
before
us,
where
we
can
lift
up
seventy
one
thousand
plus
workers
in
our
city
and
set
an
example
they
can
spread
across
the
region.
A
P
Thank
you
very
much,
madam
president,
and
I
too,
want
to
extend
my
thanks
to
everybody.
Who's
had
a
voice
in
this
conversation,
whatever
position
people
held
whatever
they
thought
at
the
beginning,
whatever
they
think
at
the
end,
every
voice
made
this
process
better.
Every
voice
made
this
ordinance
possible.
I
want
to
give
special
thanks,
go
to
the
apathy
advocacy
groups
to
the
labor
groups,
who
really
put
their
shoulder
to
the
wheel
on
this
to
make
sure
that
had
happened,
and
that
made
space
for
it
to
happen
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis
everybody.
P
P
This
will
lift
them
out
of
poverty
for
all
the
reasons
that
have
been
discussed
here
today,
the
the
impact
this
has
on
the
entire
chain
of
events
that
transpires
before
and
after
somebody
finds
themselves
in
poverty
issues
of
immigration,
language,
education,
the
impacts
of
that
all
ameliorated
by
a
$15,
an
hour
minimum
wage
for
the
people
who
are
working
in
minimum
wage
positions,
and
so
we
celebrate
today
for
all
of
those
reasons
and
I
celebrate
with
you.
But
there
are
30,000
workers
in
Minneapolis
who
are
not
covered
by
this
ordinance.
Today
they
are
our
neighbors.
P
They
are
our
community.
They
are
our
friends,
they
are
the
people
with
whom
we
live
with
and
among
and
they
live
here,
but
they
do
not
work
here
and
they
are
making
minimum
wage
elsewhere
in
the
state
of
Minnesota
elsewhere
in
our
region,
and
we
cannot
forget
them.
We
are
celebrating
today
as
we
should,
but
in
our
celebration
we
cannot
forget
those
30,000
workers,
I,
don't
forget
them,
and
it
pains
me
that
the
levers
that
we
have
our
disposal
here
in
Minneapolis
are
not
levers
that
can
help
them
also
make
a
higher
wage.
P
Those
levers
are
in
the
hands
of
our
state
government.
Those
hands
are
in
the
let
those
levers
are
in
the
hands
of
our
federal
government,
and
so
today
is
also
a
beginning
of
the
push
to
increase
the
minimum
wage,
region-wide,
statewide
and
nationwide,
because
knowing
knowing
the
limits
of
our
city
government
has
guided
my
approach
to
this
debate.
P
The
entire
time
and
it's
one
of
the
reasons
I
was
working
with
leaders
around
the
region,
local
municipal
government
leaders,
as
well
as
our
progressive
allies
at
the
state
legislature,
to
say:
let's
raise
the
minimum
wage
in
our
region,
so
that
no
Minneapolis
worker
will
be
left
behind
and
I
am
grateful.
That
representative
Hornstein
and
Senator
Dibble
introduced
legislation.
P
This
cycle,
Senate
file,
2012
and
house
file
2253
and
today
should
also
be
a
call
to
support
that
effort
and
to
turn
our
eyes
there,
so
that
we
aren't
leaving
any
of
our
neighbors
behind
as
we
raise
the
wage.
But
an
election
happened
last
November.
The
path
forward
on
that
regional
approach
was
much
much
much
narrowed
than
what
it
had
been
when
we
had
higher
hopes
for
our
state.
P
So
that
has
guided
my
approach
to
this
debate.
It
became
narrow
and
yes,
let's
move
forward
in
Minneapolis,
but
let's
keep
our
eyes
on
the
prize
for
everybody.
Not
only
do
we
want
to
make
sure
we're
doing
what
we
can
regionally
statewide
and
nationwide,
but
let's
keep
our
eyes
on
the
prize
doing
the
most.
We
can
for
the
highest
number
that
we
can,
which
is
why
I
was
very
public
and
very
adamant
about
my
opposition
having
a
tip
penalty
in
this
ordinance.
It's
why
I'm
grateful
that
there
is
not
one
in
here
today.
P
This
state
has
lived
for
40
years
without
one
our
progressive
allies.
Every
time
minimum
wage
comes
up
at
the
state
have
to
fight
to
make
sure
that
there
is
not
a
tip
NC
in
the
state
of
Minnesota.
They
have
fought
hard
in
Minnesota
to
make
sure
that
we
do
not
have
one
knowing
that
it
is
better
for
the
state
and
our
state's
economy,
and
so
there
was
no
way
that
I
wanted
to
undermine
them
by
having
one
in
our
ordinance
as
we
are
going
to
be
leading
the
way
for
the
region.
P
There's
no
way
that
I
wanted
to
give
that
gift
to
the
Republicans
who
are
coming
after
the
people
of
Minneapolis.
So
there's
no
tip
penalty
in
this
ordinance
today
and
I'm
grateful
for
it
I
let
on
that,
because
this
is
about
Minneapolis
and
the
people
of
Minneapolis,
but
it's
also
bigger
than
Minneapolis.
We
are
in
Minnesota
and
what
we
do
here,
if
we
do
our
jobs
right,
we'll
also
be
happening
in
the
region
and
statewide,
and
ideally,
eventually
at
the
nation.
So
today
we
are
leading
by
example.
P
As
we
are
having
a
statewide
conversation
about
who
we
are
as
a
people
and
so
I
know.
There
are
folks
today
who
are
not
happy.
I
know
there
are
folks
today,
for
whom
this
is
not
the
ideal
on
wherever
you
landed
on
the
idea
of
minimum
wage.
But
today
I
ask
you
to
join
me
and
to
join
us
in
this
fight
to
make
sure
that
at
the
region
and
at
the
state
level,
we
can
do
everything
we
can
for
workers
and
by
so
doing
everything
we
can
for
the
workers
in
Minneapolis.
P
G
Thank
you
very
much
and
I
really
appreciate
what
the
mayor
said,
and
it
made
me
think
of
a
few
things
and
I
also
just
wanted
to
correct
something
for
the
record,
maybe
on
a
less
serious
note,
but
I.
Think
two
council
members
mentioned
that
nobody
campaigned
on
this
issue
in
2013
and
I.
Think
one
of
us
did.
G
But
I
also
wanted
to
when
the
mayor
was
talking
about
the
30,000
people
who
live
in
Minneapolis
won't
be
covered
by
this
because
they
work
outside
the
city.
That
reminded
me
of
a
couple
things
that
really
concern
me
about
the
ordinance
that
we're
passing
and
the
restrictions
that
are
put
upon
us
to
the
biggest
employers
in
the
city
are
exempt
from
this.
G
The
county,
which
employs
an
enormous
number
of
people,
as
well
as
the
University
of
Minnesota,
because
they're
considered
state
employees,
the
county
and
the
University
of
Minnesota,
don't
have
to
wait
for
a
state
law
change.
They
could
decide
to
do
this
on
their
own,
and
that
might
be
a
good
next
step
for
us
to
go
and
say:
okay
now
get
on
board.
And
let's
do
this.
A
Any
further
discussion,
seeing
none
I,
would
ask
my
colleagues
indulgence.
I
have
a
letter
from
councilmember
Laura
sami
that
I
would
like
to
read
before
we
take
the
vote
or
people.
Okay
with
that
all
right.
So
this
a
letter
from
our
colleague
councilmember
Warsaw
me,
it
says,
greetings
I,
regret.
I
cannot
be
with
you
today
in
person
to
vote
on
this
historic
achievement,
I'm
currently
on
pilgrimage
to
Mecca
the
holiest
site
of
the
Islamic
state.
A
One
of
the
goals
of
the
pilgrimage
is
to
contemplate
justice
and
the
treatment
of
those
most
in
need
in
our
society,
and
so,
while
I
cannot
physically
be
in
the
council
chamber
as
I
reflect
from
across
the
world
on
the
actions
we
are
taking
today,
I'm
confident
that
we
have
chosen
to
advance
justice
in
our
city.
First
I
want
to
extend
my
thanks
and
recognition
to
organizations
like
15,
now,
neighborhoods,
organizing
for
change,
day
tool
and
all
our
local
unions
who
have
advanced
this
important
issue.
A
Their
persistence
has
ensured
the
city
remained
focused
on
the
issue
of
fair
workplace
practices
and
the
needs
of
our
workforce.
This
victory
is
only
possible
because
of
their
advocacy.
I
also
want
to
extend
my
thanks
to
our
city
staff
for
the
incredible
work
they
have
done
in
shepherding
this
proposal
for
a
municipal
minimum
wage
over
the
last
several
years.
Finally,
I
want
to
thank
the
thousands
of
Minneapolis
residents
who
have
made
their
voices
heard
on
the
issue
of
a
municipal
minimum
wage.
A
The
result
is
that
our
ordinance
is
strongly
and
ultimately
better
as
a
result
of
these
collective
voices,
the
passion,
the
advocacy
in
the
strong
commitment
to
fairness
that
will
improve
the
lives
of
all
Minneapolis
workers.
Today,
with
this
ordinance,
we
affirm
the
simple
fact
that
no
one
who
works
a
full-time
job
should
have
to
live
in
poverty.
We
are
showing
our
workers
that
they
matter
that
we
as
a
society
value
what
they
do.
A
Today,
we
are
saying
to
the
single
mother
working
a
minimum-wage
job
as
a
cashier
that
her
city
believes
that,
through
her
efforts,
both
she
and
her
children
deserve
to
be
well
fed
to
have
decent
housing
and
to
have
a
chance
at
a
brighter
future.
We
are
telling
the
recent
college
graduates
that
he
can
earn
a
living
wage
at
his
first
job
to
offset
crippling
debt,
as
he
takes
the
first
step
in
his
career
today.
We
uplift
all
workers.
A
Now
there
are
some
who
say
that
we
are
moving
too
fast
that
we
should
slow
down
and
consider
this
issue
further
to
them.
I
say:
Minneapolis
workers
and
families
have
waited
long
enough.
It's
time
that
their
work
is
rewarded,
as
deserved
today
is
the
day
to
act.
Today
is
a
day
for
justice,
for
our
workers
and
for
those
most
in
need.
A
F
F
I
E
A
Thank
you
all
and
I
really
wanted
to
say.
Thank
you
very
much
for
well.
People
were
speaking
being
respectful
and
you
know
holding
up
your
signs.
It
helps
us
get
through
much
much
faster.
So
thank
you
very
much.
Next
item
on
our
agenda
is
the
Community
Development
regulatory
services
report
of
that
committee
is
chaired
by
councilmember
Goodman.
L
L
Most
probably
notably,
would
be
item
number
13
and
16
and
17
I'm
sure
there
will
be
folks
who
want
to
speak
to
some
of
these
items.
I
will
just
note
that
item
number
13
are
some
major
changes
to
our
long-term
housing
tax
credit
qualified
allocation
plan.
This
should
allow
for
us
to
give
preference
to
projects
that
extend
their
level
of
affordability
longer
than
a
15-year
minimum
item.
Number
16
is
the
creation
of
an
affordable
housing
trust
fund.
L
Contingency
pool
this
is
to
assist
on
a
one-time
basis,
projects
that
haven't
been
able
to
get
the
tax
credit
facing
that
they
need
and
item
number
17,
which
is
authorizing
the
CEPA
director
and
the
city's
option
to
purchase
the
land
underneath
Kmart
at
Lake
Street.
With
that
I'll
move
items
1
through
17
for
approval.
A
J
You
so
we
talked
about
this
quite
a
lot
of
the
CDRs
committee,
but
I
just
want
to
highlight
that
this
is
a
significant
step
forward
and
the
city's
long-term
commitment
to
reopen
Nicollet
Avenue
at
Lake
Street-
and
this
is
one
another
one
though
not
as
significant,
is
the
last
where
this
council
is
just
the
folks
who
happen
to
be
sitting
in
these
seats
today.
Is
we
take
this
next
step
forward
on
a
project
that
has
preceded
us
and
will
continue
far
into
the
future
most
likely?
J
J
D
L
A
G
You,
madam
president,
the
health
environment
is
community
engagement,
committees,
bringing
forward
seven
items
for
consideration
today.
The
first
is
passage
of
an
ordinance
amending
Title
10
chapter
188
regarding
selling
and
sorting
on
streets.
The
second
item
is
approving
our
neighborhood
and
community
engagement.
Commission
appointments.
That's
to
council
point
since
one
mayoral
appointment
in
two.
We
appointments
one
for
the
council
in
the
mayor.
The
second
is
accepting
a
glance
from
clearway
Minnesota
to
work
on
tobacco
reduction,
harm
efforts,
the
fourth
items
authorizing
a
Memorandum
of
Understanding
with
aligning
health
services
regarding
drug
pricing.
G
The
fifth
item
is
confirming
a
mayoral
appointment
to
the
Committee
on
people
with
disabilities.
The
sixth
item
is
approving
a
series
of
ten
grants
that
will
go
through
our
one
Minneapolis
fund
and
we
also
are
approving
criteria
for
the
$25,000
that
will
be
left
within
the
city
to
work
on
better
community
engagement
efforts
for
city
projects,
and
the
seventh
item
is
authorizing
a
new
agreement
with
Xcel
Energy
to
participate
in
renewable
connect
program
which
will
give
us
renewable
energy
and
actually
allow
the
convention
center
to
claim
their
ninety-five
five
percent
fossil-free
and
all
their
electricity.
G
Because
of
the
purchasing
a
large
amount
of
this
energy,
also,
it's
part
of
that
action.
We
directed
staff
to
look
into
seeking
additional
renewable
connect
energy
up
to
fifty
million
kilowatt
hours,
and
we
also
directed
staff
to
report
back
in
August,
with
the
preliminary
analysis
and
recommendations
on
how
the
city
for
our
own
enterprise
could
obtain
100
percent
of
our
electricity
from
renewable
sources
within
five
years.
I'll
move
all
seven
items
for
approval,

This
always
means
item.
Thank.
H
You,
madam
president,
this
is
a
ways
and
means
item
off
from
the
previous
council
meeting
as
it
is
a
contract
proposed
with
Native
American
Community
Development
Institute
to
act
as
the
fiscal
agent
for
the
little
earth
and
surrounding
partners
as
as
such
as
unfinished
from
the
last
meeting
at
what?
If
I
could
offer
a
substitute
motion
if
I
could
be
recognized
for
that
I'm.
Sorry,
madam
president,
procedurally
I
need
to
put
the
video
from
Ways
and
Means
report
out
first
for
as
move
for
approval
and
then
I'd
like
to
be
recognized
for
an
amendment
Kay.
H
Do
Madam
President?
Thank
you
very
much.
I'd
like
to
it's
been
distributed.
I
believe
this
is
a
an
amendment
to
the
agreement
in
light
of
the
fact
that
Lake
Street
Council
has
withdrawn
their
application,
which
provides
$15,000
as
part
of
the
motion,
unassigned
and
we'd
like
to
add
so
we'd
like
to
move
all
five
of
the
current
funding
requests
and
then
add
a
second
item.
That's
at
the
bottom.
H
In
underlying
language,
it
says,
in
accordance
with
the
intent
of
the
collaborative
public
safety
strategies,
funding
to
be
a
community
directed
macd
will
work
with
the
community
to
develop
and
implement
a
process
through
which
the
community
will
determine
the
disbursement
of
the
remaining
$15,000.
Further
any
additional
applicants
or
applicants
or
applicants
withdraw
their
proposal
for
funding.
That
date
will
develop
and
implement
a
process
through
which
the
community
will
determine
the
disbursement
of
those
funds.
H
The
intent
of
obviously
is
to
keep
the
$250,000
funding
commitment
that
was
made
as
part
of
the
2017
budget
intact
and
provides
for
a
mechanism
for
the
community
to
what
to
do
with
any
additional
resources
that
may
come
as
a
part
of
that
process.
So
that's
the
substitute
motion
and
look
forward
to
that
being
considered.
Customer.
A
F
A
P
So
then
the
question
becomes
what
what
do
we
do
about
the
fact
that
there's
$15,000
now
unallocated,
because
one
group
removes
themselves?
What
do
we
do
about
that?
$15,000
and
again,
there's
a
principle
at
stake
here.
The
community
has
asked
us
to
work
with
them
to
make
decisions
about
how
to
move
forward.
Robert,
Liljegren
and
nasty
have
helped
offer
to
be
part
of
an
elegant
solution,
which
is
let
the
community
make
a
decision
about
how
to
allocate
and
distribute
those
those
dollars.
I
am
a
fan
of
anybody
who
is
working
against
addiction.
P
I
have
27,
plus
years
of
sobriety,
myself
and
I've
been
very
open
about
that
I
work
with
addicts
and
alcoholics
all
the
time.
I
have
many
beloved's
in
my
life
for
addicts
and
alcoholics,
I
know
the
havoc
it
wreaks
on
live
and
I
know
the
havoc
it
is
wreaking
on
the
lives
in
people
in
little
earth.
I
understand
the
impulse
there,
and
this
may
be
a
project
that
gets
funded
as
the
community
comes
together
and
decides
what
do
we
want
to
do
next?
What
is
next
on
the
horizon?
P
But
the
principle
here
is
that
it
is
not
for
City
Hall
to
decide
the
the
whole
idea
of
this
process
was
to
let
the
community
decide
and
I
think
the
idea
of
letting
Naqvi
be
the
wand
to
help
lead
the
community
through
a
process
to
make
a
decision
about.
What's
next
with
the
unallocated
fund,
that's
an
important
principle.
It's
a
principle!
P
That's
important
to
me,
as
the
person
who
came
up
with
the
whole
program
and
I
know
it's
a
principle:
that's
important
to
the
community,
because
those
are
all
the
conversations
and
voices
that
I
have
heard
personally
individually
and
the
letters
that
we
have
gotten
the
conversations
that
we've
been
having
let
the
community
decide.
That
was
the
point
here
and
so
I
speak
against
this
motion
up.
The
timeline
extension
for
the
mural
I
think
is
actually
fine
and
necessary.
P
H
You,
madam
president,
I,
would
like
to
speak
in
in
opposition
to
the
substitute
motion
by
councilmember
Cano
for
a
couple
of
reasons.
One
is,
as
the
mayor
outlined,
I
believe
the
decision
on
the
additional
funding
availability
of
the
15,000
should
be
made
within
the
community
within
the
structure,
but
primarily
what
I'm
concerned
most
about
is.
This
is
actually
a
contract
with
the
Native
American
Community,
Development
Institute
in
acting
and
so
providing
an
exemption
in
the
contract
for
the
mural
project.
H
H
That
gives
me
the
greatest
plots,
I'm
uncomfortable
with
staff
directions
that
direct
finance
and
property
Services
Department
to
go,
find
money
except
you
know
this
on
the
case
as
directed
to
work
with
the
Health,
Department
and
related
departments
to
identify
and
allocate
matching
funds
to
support
the
work
I'm
just
uncomfortable
with
being
that
specific,
without
a
report
Act,
whether
it's
possible
or
not.
So
I
just
would,
with
that
in
mind,
with
the
idea
that
the
additional
15,000
that
could
be
used
should
be
decided
by
the
community.
D
F
For
proposals
and
the
folks
who
were
selected
as
part
of
the
review
committee,
you
know
expressed
a
lot
of
drain
and
strain
over
it,
though
the
process
was
just
a
little
bit
challenging
and
I
think
that
what
we
want
to
do
is
acknowledge
that
there
were
a
lot
of
good
projects
and
every
single
project
that
the
proposals
that
the
process
brought
forward
is
in
fact,
on
this
sheet
of
paper.
The
only
change
is
the
change
that
you
know.
F
Ward
9
residents
want
to
see,
which
is
we
need
to
have
an
intervention
quickly
and
fully
on
the
heroin
use
in
our
community,
the
opioid
crisis
that
is
sweeping
the
Ninth
Ward
and
many
other
parts
of
the
city
where,
in
words
like
mine,
you
know
we
had
a
woman
who
overdosed
and
passed
away
in
the
middle
of
the
night
in
a
community
urban
farm
because
we're
not
sending
resources
to
this
particular
issue.
So
I
think,
what's
before
you
is
a
pretty
good
collaborative
approach
at
addressing
this
issue.
F
F
Just
hope
that
we
can
all
agree
to
work
together
on
this
issue
and
ensure
our
communities
get
the
resources
that
they
need
to
address
crime
and
safety
issues
this
summer,
it's
July,
you
know
it's
almost
going
to
be
July
4th
already
and
we
haven't
yet
sent
this
money
out
to
do
the
work
it
needs
to
be
doing
so.
I
think
I
think
we're
ready
to
go.
I
think
we've
had
really
good
conversations
over
the
last
two
weeks
that
have
brought
us
to
a
place
of
compromise.
So
that's
what's
before
you
right
now,.
N
Councilmember
Paul
Masson.
Thank
you,
madam
chair
respectfully,
council
supported
this
money
with
the
spirit
and
intent
that
it
be
used
by
these
two
Geographic
communities
this
year.
Right
now,
so
I
hope
others
can
join
me
in
supporting
cast
member
Cano
and
identifying
an
immediate
and
urgent
need
in
her
community
and
I'd
like
to
call
the
question.

Next,
we
have
announcements
and
I
would
big
the
Moonies
indulgence,
also
because
the
council's
indulgence
I
just
want
to
read
a
statement
today
as
part
of
announcements,
and
my
statement
is
that
I
really
want
to
take
an
opportunity
to
acknowledge
the
traffic
issues.
This
week,
I've
heard
loud
and
clear
the
complaints
and
have
personally
felt
the
effects.
A
So
it's
not
about
me,
but
on
Wednesday,
my
ten
minute
commute
became
40
minutes
and
I've
heard
lots
and
lots
of
other
stories,
but
I've
personally
met
with
leadership
from
the
Public
Works
and
regulatory
services
department
to
Ruth
review
the
work
that
they
did
to
plan
for
the
multiple
projects
that
are
happening
this
week
and
this
summer
and
then
to
adjust
as
the
week
went
on,
staff
has
done
substantial
work
to
prepare
and
respond,
but
I've
asked
them
to
step
up
efforts
to
look
for
additional
opportunities
to
improve
conditions,
especially
as
the
holiday
weekend.
Approaches.
A
I've
also
asked
that
staff
increased
their
communication
with
the
public
about
traveling.
Downtown
I
also
want
to
take
this
opportunity
to
stress
the
importance
of
collaboration
between
our
partners,
MnDOT,
Metro,
transit
and
Hennepin
County
and
utilities.
All
have
important
projects
this
summer,
as
do
we,
we
will
only
be
able
to
tackle
congestion
issues
with
good
planning,
collaboration
and
communication.
This
is
a
growing
city
and
we
want
it
to
continue
growing,
but
these
are
important
investments
and
we
want
to
do
this
work
with
this
little
disruption,
that's
possible.
Thank
you.
