Description
Minneapolis Committee of the Whole Meeting
A
Good
morning,
everyone
we
are
ready
to
start
our
next
committee
of
the
day,
which
is
the
committee
of
the
whole.
My
name
is
Elizabeth
Glynn
and
I'm.
The
chair
of
this
committee
and
I'm
joined
today

Palmisano
and
council.
Member
of
the
force
ami
is
with
his
family,
celebrating
the
birth
of
his
baby
girl.
So
we
have
one
item
for
discussion
on
our
agenda
today.
A
We
have
a
second
item
that
I
will
go
ahead
and
take
action
on
right.
Now
it
is
a
report
back
relating
to
non
hospital
residential
health
care
enterprises.
We
in
relationship
to
the
municipal
minimum
wage,
and
some
work
is
still
going
on
with
that
report
back
so
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
move
that
we
postpone
that
to
the
meeting
of
September
19th
2017
any
discussion
on
that.
A
Seeing
none
on
approval,
please
say:
aye
aye
opposed
so
we'll
go
now
to
our
major
discussion
item
for
today
and
I
will
welcome
up
a
representative
from
the
Health
Department
I'm,
not
sure
okay
looks
like
the
Commissioner
is
coming
forward
all
right,
so
we
have
a
report
that
was
directed
through
a
staff
direction,
I
think
at
the
budget
time,
and
so
this
report
is
findings
by
the
youth
cabinet
regarding
the
feasibility
of
a
universal
pre-k
program.
Commissioner,.
B
Thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
committee
I'm
Greta
music
and
commissioner
of
health
I'm,
also
one
of
the
co-chairs
of
the
youth
cabinet
for
the
city,
and
so
that's
why
I'm
making
this
presentation
this
morning,
as
you
may
recall
it,
it
was
at
the
time
of
the
budget
adoption
that
a
staff
Direction
was
given
that
the
city
coordinators
office,
under
which
the
youth
cabinet
Falls,
do
some
investigation
and
report
back
to
the
council
about
the
notion
of
universal
pre-kindergarten
programs
and
in
conjunction
with
work.
That
was
also
underway
in
st.
B
Paul,
and
so
we
have
done
quite
a
bit
of
scoping
of
the
of
the
issue
and
that's
what
we'll
be
sharing
with
you
this
morning.
Just
reminder
about
the
youth
cabinet.
Its
composition
is
primarily
staff
from
city
departments,
and
so
its
scope
is
wide,
but
not
deep,
and
so
that
will
impact
in
part
some
of
the
reporting
back
that
we
have
for
you
this
morning.
B
C
Missionaries
to
Kent
thank
you,
madam
chair
City,
Council
Committee,
first
up
I'd,
just
like
to
give
us
some
additional
background.
On
top
of
what
our
Commissioner
just
presented
for
the
purpose
of
this
work,
we
were
trying
to
set
up
baseline,
initially
and
looking
at
some
of
the
things
that
are
available.
Around
early
early
childhood
programming
enjoy
style.
C
In
addition
to
that
part
of
our
work
with
the
Health
Department
of
participation
city
health
coalition,
which,
through
the
development
foundation,
was
looking
at
different
rankings
across
all
the
member
cities
that
are
part
of
city
health
and
looking
at
just
their
overall
rankings,
as
relates
to
health,
right
immed
and
one
of
the
items
that
they
were.
Looking
at
was
universal
pre-k,
the
ratings
came
back
very
late
last
month
and
overall,
the
city
diggit
of
silver
ranking,
but
really
for
the
universal
pre-k
program.
We
did
not
rank
on
that
at
this
time.
C
We're
not
sure
what
went
into
that
decision,
but
we
are
hoping
to
follow
up
on
that
at
a
later
date
to
kind
of
see
what
they
did
in
terms
of
how
we
ranked
and
what
our
score
overall
was.
In
addition
to
these
kind
of
baseline
activities,
we
did
in
terms
of
building
where
we're
going
where
we're
at
where
we're
going.
C
We
also
met
with
Generation
Next,
which
is
one
of
the
largest
stakeholders,
as
well
as
the
data
around
universal
pre-k
programming,
and
so
they
provided
us
a
lot
of
good
data
to
look
at
and
kind
of
fill
in
some
of
the
gaps
that
were
missing,
that
we
weren't
able
to
pull
from
the
parent
where
the
development
City
Health
Rankings,
and
we
also
met
with
the
same
cause
with
contingency
working
on
this
opportunity,
as
well
as
part
of
the
staff
directive.
It
did
have
a
piece
in
there
that
we
would
look
at
what's.
C
C
Terms
of
kind
of
presenting
the
information
we
have
today
on
top
of
that
in
these
meetings
is
also
assisted
by
and
a
group
from
the
ycb.
That's
here
today
and
then
at
the
time
when
she
was
still
with
the
mayor's
office.
Angela
Watts
gave
us
some
pretty
good
information
and
some
details
in
terms
of
where
we're
moving
and
where
we
should
move
look
towards
and
then
most
recently,
Lauren
Robinson
took
her
place
as
the
cradle
decay
policy
aide.
C
E
Nature
cannot
so
member
fry.
Thank
you,
madam
vice
president,
so
I'm,
just
looking
at
these
percentages,
thirty
percent
below
100%
of
poverty
is
a
hundred.
Is
a
hundred
percent
of
poverty
mean
that
baseline
statistic
as
to
what
constitutes
povery?
So
then,
one
hundred
eighty
five
percent
of
poverty
would
be
better
than
a
hundred
percent
poverty
or
worse
than
a
hundred
percent
poverty
hundred.
E
C
I
should
say
that
the
definition
of
poverty
is
a
yearly
formula,
so
it
looks
different
from
year
to
year,
part
of
the
way
that
the
st.
Paul's
and
looking
at
their
format
and
then
doing
this.
They
were
really
thinking
about
a
focused
approach
in
their
universal
pre-k
and
really
thinking
about
who
are
who,
in
that
pot
of
three
to
four
year
olds,
would
be
most
likely
in
need
of
universal
pre-k.
C
The
definition
of
universal
pre-k
varies,
but
typically
I
think
a
lot
of
people
think
about
early
childhood
learning
centers
as
it
relates
the
universal
pre-k
programming.
One
of
the
things
as
we
were
going
through
this
process
is
learning
about
that.
It's
important
to
realize
that,
as
I
mentioned
before.
In
that
statistic
about
70
point,
eight
percent
of
parents
work
full
time.
C
So
a
lot
of
universal
pre-k
programming
is
usually
half-day
and
so
part
of
the
other
half
of
the
day
is
figuring
out
under
these
different
kind
of
slots
that
are
available
in
terms
of
other
programming
like
license:
family
care,
other
child
care,
programming
or
other
school
based
or
headstart
based
program.
That
has
to
make
up
the
day
of
both
at
age,
school
age
of
three
to
four
year
olds,
and
so
saying
that
this
is
the
one
specific
thing
that
is
a
universal
pre-k
program.
C
Seventy
eight
agencies
ranked
at
forty
four
percent
of
either
a
three
or
four
star
and
then
of
licensed
family
programming,
25
agencies
or
13%
of
total
agencies,
ranked
at
a
3
to
4
star
programming.
It's
important
to
recognize
too
that,
if
we're
thinking
about
these
slots,
we
have
to
make
sure
that
their
quality
slot,
as
it
looks
apparent
to
where
they
go
from
a
one
star
to
a
four
star
or
anything.
C
So
it's
more
likely
that
we
want
more
three
and
four
star
any
things,
and
we
do
want
one
and
two
star
rankings
in
relation
to
kind
of
what
s
what
funding
is
currently
out
there.
This
relates
to
a
variety
of
different
things,
including
Head,
Start,
child
care
assistance,
program
program
or
C,
CAP
pathways,
scholarships
and
school-based
clinics.
We
estimate
about
37
million
dollars
already
are
out
there
providing
subsidies
for
again
those
students
that
are
at
the
poverty
level
or
below.
We.
F
Manager
under
school-based
programs
are
we
talking
about
Minneapolis,
Public,
Schools
and
then
I
guess.
My
question
is:
does
that
include
like
the
high
five
and
I'm?
Not
a
you
know,
knowledgeable
focus
at
all,
but
and
then
did
with
the
original
legislation
about
pre-k
did
Minneapolis
Public
Schools
get
some
of
that
funding
that
came
through
the
state
on
the
initial
go-round
of
pre-k.
Thank.
C
F
My
understanding
is
that
there
there
has
been
some
funding
in
previous
legislatures
recently
to
begin
the
pre-k
work
across
the
state
and
some
districts
applied
and
there's
a
waiting
list
of
districts.
Obviously,
that
would
like
to
have
that
and
then
my
curiosity
about
the
high
five
is:
is
that
how
does
the
child
get
prioritized
for
high
five?
Is
it
an
income
based
qualification
or
is
it
a
you
know,
locational?
What's
the
criteria
about
how
you
get
into
high
five?
Madam.
C
The
office
of
the
legislative
auditor
did
get
some
money
to
look
at
an
overall
audit
of
early
childhood
programming,
which
includes
not
just
universal
pre-k
programs
but
any
kind
of
relation
any
anything
in
relation
to
childhood
programming
so
like
home
visiting
so
the
point.
The
purpose
of
this
was
to
kind
of
do
five
key
things
as
it
relates
to
kind
of
decide
determining
what
is
the
gaps
and
also
kind
of
looking
at
what
is
the
overall
system
as
race,
the
universal
pre-k
or
persons
are
early
childhood
programming.
C
So
the
purpose
is
to
kind
of
figure
out
the
usage.
How
many
these
programs
actually
meet
their
objectives?
What
is
the
classic
sense
of
collaboration?
Coordination
between
programming
then
also
where
the
duplications
are
work.
Augmentation
B
as
raised
to
current
programming
and
then
again,
like
I,
mentioned
before
the
gap.
So
that's
kind
of
what
I
my
sense
of
what
happened
within
the
most
recent
legislation
happens.
F
C
C
So
it's
good
cost
estimates,
but
so
typically
for
per
student
is
four
thousand
three
hundred
twenty
dollars
per
student
career,
and
so
that
could
either
be
full
paid
fully
or
it
could
be
paid
partially
by
the
schools,
and
then
the
additional
piece
would
be
paid
by
the
parents
in
terms
of
how
they
figure
out
the
wait
list.
I'm
not
too
sure
on
that.
This
was
one
of
the
program's
very
difficult
to
kind
of
get
some
more
information
out
of,
but
it's
something
I
think
as
we
move
forward
and
kind
of
think
about.
C
G
G
G
C
You,
madam
chair
council,
member,
Quincy,
I,
believe
I
five
does
operate
on
the
school
year
in
terms
of
other
programming.
They
could
be
operate
year-round.
Looking
at
the
cost
estimates.
This
is
kind
of
hard
to
pin
down
because
a
lot
of
times
the
cost
per
year
are
based
off
what
the
rankings
are
has
released
a
parent
aware
so
one
star
parent,
where
programming
could
charge
a
blast.
C
Family
childcare
centers
it
caused
it
up
to
nine
thousand
four
hundred
sixty
four
dollars
per
year.
Headstart
was
a
hard
number
to
pin
down,
but
from
our
understanding
could
cost
anywhere
from
eighty
five
thousand
to
ten
thousand
dollars
per
year,
and
then,
as
I
mentioned
before
school
based
programming
or
has
a
high
five
estimates.
C
The
Minneapolis
Public
Schools
could
cost
four
thousand
three
hundred
twenty
dollars
per
year
and
then
in
relation
to
the
Head
Start
and
the
high
five
numbers,
those
are
outside
funding
that
typically
funds
that
so
high
five
is
typically
funded
through
the
Department
of
Education
at
the
state
level
and
then
federal
dollars
going
to
head
start
programming.
So
well
again,
as
I
mentioned,
those
programs
are
typically
based
on
income.
C
So,
even
though,
in
most
cases
a
family
might
not
be
paying
anything,
that's
still
dollars
that
are
going
into
the
current
amount
of
funding
that
is
being
dedicated
towards
these
programming.
So
based
off
these
cost
estimates.
What
we
can
were
able
to
do
and
kind
of
what
st.
Paul
looked
at
it
is
that
all
of
the
total
of
children
in
Minneapolis
ages,
three
to
four.
We
have
about
ten
thousand
seven.
Eighty
five.
C
We
assume
that
eighty
five
percent
of
them
will
take
us
up
on
our
offer
for
universal
pre-k
and
other
fifteen
percent
will
say
either
no
or
we
have
it
figured
out
and
so
kind
of
taking
a
cost
estimate
based
on
a
range
of
numbers
from
8,000
to
12,000.
We
have
the
total,
as
it
really
said,
10,000
plus
children
and
then
the
tolas.
It
relates
to
the
85%
85%
of
the
8,000
children
that
would
take
us
up
on
universal
pre-k.
C
So,
as
you
can
see,
it's
the
hot
of
lowest
level
of
eight
thousand
dollars
per
year
per
children.
If
we
did
do
universal
pre-k
for
all
children,
it
could
potentially
cost
eighty
six
million
dollars
per
year
out
of
the
eighty-five
percent
that
could
potentially
take
us
up
on
our
offer.
We
could
see
as
low
as
sixty-four
million
dollars
per
year
at
the
high
end.
As
you
see,
is
twelve
thousand
dollars
per
children
per
year.
C
C
So,
looking
at
our
funding
gap,
this
number
that
we
chote,
whether
we
came
up
with
this
twenty
seven
million
dollars-
is
93
million
dollars.
That
is
our
our
last
number,
so
the
six
eighty,
the
sixty
the
lowest
number
that
we
were
figured
64
million
in
the
highest
number
that
we
figured
130
million
minus
the
37
million
estimated
available
funding.
So
far.
C
So,
typically,
the
things
that
they
was
a
program
would
have
to
consider
as
they
are
doing
their
programming
as
the
cost
for
administration,
the
cost
for
quality
improvement,
the
cost,
the
cost
for
evaluation,
the
cost
for
enrollment
support
and
the
cost
for
outreach
and
communications.
We
based
on
what
st.
Paul
was
able
to
figure
out.
They
figured
about
20%.
In
addition
to
that,
27
to
93
million
dollars
would
be
necessary
to
roll
all
it.
C
So
in
our
total
gap
is
the
27
plus
the
20%
of
27
and
then
the
93
plus
the
20%
of
93
million.
So
we
could
be
looking
at
anywhere
between
a
32
million
and
111
million
dollar
gap,
as
it
relates
to
universal
pre-k
programming
and
implemented
in
Minneapolis,
but
it
asked
the
Commissioner
music
yet
to
come
back
up
to
finish
us
off
with
this
last
slide.
A
D
You,
madam
chair
I,
just
wanted
to
thank
you
for
their
work.
You've
done
and
I
had
met
with
some
constituents
about
this
when
we
first
started
talking
about
in
the
budget,
and
they
had
given
me
some
information
about
other
cities
that
has
implemented
universal
pre-k.
So
I
just
wanted
to
note
from
my
very
basic
knowledge
this
that
several
cities
used
funding
sources
that
were
new
funding
sources.
So
those
are
some
pretty
big
numbers.
You
showed
us
and
I.
Imagine
if
we
thought
about
incorporating
that
into
our
property
tax
love.
D
You
might
think
that
that's
you
know
a
very
significant
change,
but
I
know
that
Philadelphia
funds
their
program
through
a
sales
tax
on
soda.
We
have
a
lot
of
health
advocates
here
who
might
be
interested
in
that
idea.
I
know
that
San
Antonio
funds
it
through
a
very
small
portion
of
a
sales
tax.
D
It
was
like
1/8
of
a
cent
sales
tax
that
the
voters
I
think
approved
on
a
ballot,
so
I
just
wanted
to
throw
that
out
there
just
and
see
if
you
had
any
other
examples
of
funding
sources
again,
since
those
numbers
sound
very
high
for
something
that
we
could
probably
fund
through
our
property
tax,
particularly
considering
that
our
schools
have
such
a
deficit
right
now.
But
I
wanted
to
just
note
that.
So
maybe
we
keep
our
mind
open
to
other
ideas.
C
C
So
I
think
in
terms
of
kind
of
as
we
do
this
programming
and
we
think
about
moving
forward
I
think
we
always
have
to
be
careful.
The
unintended
consequences
I
know
one
of
the
things
that
was
also
brought
up
as
it
relates
to
some
of
the
work
that,
and
the
group
has
been
doing-
is
that
there's
all
sorts
of
fear
that
this
could
offset
daycare
costs
overall
and
so
I
think
a
lot
of
people
probably
know
that,
as
it
relates
like
infants
and
childcare,
those
are
the
highest
cost,
as
relates
to
all-day
child
care.
C
A
lot
of
parents
will
not
have
this
free
opportunity,
and
so
it
would
be
more
of
expense
for
infant
care,
as
it
relates
to
the
children
of
other
ages,
because
we
would
be
providing
this
fully
potentially
fully
funded
system
of
free
child
care,
so
that
I
think
something
we
have
looked
at
some
other
areas
and
we
are.
We.
C
A
Looks
like
we
might
have
another
question
or
comment
I'll,
just
kind
of
add
in
on
that
funding
source
I,
don't
know
if
some
of
it
is
unintended
consequences.
So
much
as
how
do
you
look
at
a
new
source
of
funding
and
really
think
about?
What's
the
sustainability
of
it,
knowing
there
might
be
fluctuations
over
time,
you
know
so
I.
Think
of
that
more
as
the
what's
the
financial
modelling.
That
then
supports
the
programming.
A
Just
the
other
point
is
that
you
know
each
state
is
unique
in
what
Authority
different
cities
have
to
access
different
funding
sources,
and
so
there
might
also
be
you
know
again.
What
is
the
role
of
the
state
in
giving
a
local
authority
or
if
the
state
which
has
been
considering
this
it's
health
and
it
comes
through
on
what
is
a
crisis
also
say
for
so
many
people
and
being
able
to
access
appropriate,
safe,
affordable
care,
that's
quality,
so
council,
President
Johnson.
F
Their
economic
model
is
based
on
having
that
older
group
in
the
mix
pre-k
in
the
mix
that
allows
them
to
subsidize
the
infant
care,
and
so
anybody
who's
at
a
little
you
know
have
their
kids
go
to
daycare
or
grandchildren
go
to
daycare
here,
how
much
infant
care
cost
and
infant
care
cost.
If
you
take
out
that
part
of
the
model,
the
infant
care
costs
will
skyrocket,
both
in
family
day
care,
as
well
as
Saturday's
day
care.
The
other
thing
I
want
to
point
out
about
st.
Paul
is
st.
Paul
right
now.
B
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I.
Think
this
last
discussion
is
really
a
great
reinforcement
for
the
point
at
which
we
find
ourselves,
which
is
youth
cabinet,
has
begun
the
scoping
of
this.
There
are
so
many
details
left
to
work
on
that.
We
think
it's
an
appropriate
time
to
bring
it
back
to
you
and
to
say
that
we
probably
need
another
body
to
think
more
deeply
about
this.
That's
configured
in
a
different
way
with
some
in
the
early
childhood
arena,
and
so
we
also
have
in
watching
st.
B
Paul
and
their
effort
to
look
at
this,
see
the
utility
and
having
some
minimal
resourcing
available
to
help
with
either
research
or
modeling,
and
there
are
some
folks
out
there
who
we've
learned
from
st.
Paul
that
will
do
some
financial
modeling
and
also
to
engage
in
some
community
engagement
around
this.
This
topic,
since
it
will
potentially,
if
we
move
forward,
will
it
will,
involve
and
would
benefit
from
the
community
being
involved
in
this
consideration.
B
And
so
we
are
bringing
this
information
to
you
and
then
suggest
that
you
may
wish
to
at
some
point
craft
a
more
detailed
resolution,
perhaps
based
on
what
st.
Paul
will
soon
be
issuing
as
their
first
draft
and
what
the
legislative
auditor
might
help
us
understand,
which
will
be
early
in
2018
and
along
with
that,
a
creation
of
some
kind
of
advisory
group
with
an
array
of
expertise.
So
that's
about
recommendation
I
can
consider.
A
B
Really,
the
the
idea
is
to
look
at
and
understand
clearly
what
resources
we
have
here,
both
in
capacity
and
exist
financial
commitment
and
then
to
build
on
that,
rather
than
to
replace
it
or
push
it
out
of
the
way.
So
I
think
that's
a
that's
a
very
helpful
consideration
and
should
be
considered.
Thank.
H
You
appreciate
that
and
that's
one
thing:
I'd
look
love
to
my
kitchen
for
more
partnership
with
the
park
board
on
that
and
leveraging
that
existing
infrastructure
I
mean
just
thinking
about
how
community
centered
our
parks
already
are
and
how
close
they
are
in
proximity
to
so
many
families.
I
think
it's
a
great
opportunity
for
collaboration.
I
I
So
here's
what
I
saw
when
when
I
spoke
set
with
them
yesterday
and
we
went
through
this
presentation,
I
want
to
acknowledge
the
things
that
we've
achieved
in
this
one
of
the
things
we've
achieved
in
this
is
doing
the
sizing
and
scoping
of
this
idea,
which
we
didn't
know
before
it
was.
It
was
more
of
just
an
idea
and
it
was
a
big
idea.
This
is
a
first
brush
of
how
big
an
investment
here
would
be
needed
and
I
realized.
We
have
to
now
narrow
this
in
order
to
go
forward
in
some
way.
I
We
would
need
a
prioritization
of
how
to
connect,
maybe
short
term
things
with,
but
this
is
a
longer
term
goal,
so
so
I
would
suggest
that
we
wait.
I
would
suggest
that
this
time
of
waiting
is
an
intentional
act,
considering
again
maybe
early
to
mid
next
year.
That's
after
the
legislative
auditor
would
have
an
opportunity
to
take
a
look
across
the
state
at
the
different
kinds
of
capacities
and
just
different
things,
but
that
we
have
so.
I
I
We
sit
with
how
do
we
step
forward
now
with
a
reasonable
idea
and
I
look
forward
to
st.
Paul's
blueprint,
which
I
understand
will
be
out
for
them
at
the
end
of
August,
because
they've
approached
this
big
idea
in
a
slightly
different
way,
so
I
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you
for
this
effort.
Thank
you
for
your
support
in
exploring
this
as
a
pre-k
initiative,
and
that's
it
Thanks.
J
You
very
much,
madam
vice
president
and
I,
appreciate
the
report.
I
have
to
say
that
I'm
very
excited
by
the
concept
of
a
pre-k
or
a
3k
as
New
York
City,
has
called
their
effort.
I.
Think
New
York
is
a
great
model
to
look
at
they're,
rolling
it
out,
slowly
district
by
district
with
partnerships
and
relying
on
state
and
federal
funding
for
a
lot
of
it.
So
that's
something
to
look
at
I
I
when
this
first
came
up.
I
was
very
very
excited
about
the
possibility
of
what
we
could
do
in
Minneapolis
I.
J
Think,
if
we're
serious
about
closing
certain
disparities
in
our
city,
this
is
a
way
to
do
it.
I
think
there's
gaps
across
the
city
and
different
populations
and
locations
and
the
evidence
is
undeniable.
The
quality
early
childhood
education
can
make
a
major
difference
later.
One
thing
we
haven't
looked
at
here
is
actually
what
savings
there
would
be,
maybe
later
on
what
benefits
there
might
be
later
on.
I
will
also
admit
when
I
got
the
first
report
and
so
I
figure,
like
93
million
dollars,
I
was
discouraged.
J
I
just
wanted
to
kind
of
throw
in
the
towel.
Walk
out
the
door
and
say
no
way,
no,
but
I
think
that
there's
potential
still
and
there's
also
middle
ground
between
saying
we're
going
to
pay
we're
going
to
do
universal
pre-k
for
everybody
who
needs
it
in
this
age
group.
You
know
all
10,000
today
or
something
like
that,
and
certainly
other
cities
that
have
tried
it
are
stepping
into
it
slowly
and
carefully.
J
It's
hard
for
me
to
intentionally
wait
on
something
that
I'm
either
and
excited
about
and
think
the
evidence
shows
support
for,
but
I
also
appreciate
some
sense
of
slowing
down.
I
will
say
that
I
think
this
is
something
worth
talking
about.
Even
if
we're
waiting
a
little
bit,
we
can
still
be
doing
research
on
our
own.
We
can
be
planting
seeds,
we
can
be
talking
to
st.
Paul,
as
my
colleagues
know,
I
also
serve
on
the
youth,
Coordinating
Board
and
chair
of
it
right
now.
This
is
I.
J
Think
if
anything
was
going
to
happen
about
this,
we
need
to
talk
to
our
partners
at
the
schools,
the
parks
in
the
county
and
see
what
makes
sense
often
in
those
meetings.
We
do
talk
about
this,
the
pre-k,
and
what
are
we
going
to
do
about
youth?
We're
also
aware,
there's
big
problems
and
after-school
programming
and
funding
and
there's
all
these
things
to
balance
kind
of
as
a
region,
so
I
think
I'll
keep
planting
seeds
there
and
talking
there,
and
also
with
the
st.
Paul
and
Ramsey
County
and
see
what
is
the
interest
here.
J
J
It's
going
to
set
you
up
for
success
when
you
get
to
school
and
third
grade
and
graduate
from
high
school
and
then
becoming
a
participating
member
of
our
community
and
I
think
it
does
set
you
up
in
that
trajectory
and
I
think
there's
a
way
to
do
it
that
we
can
also
honor
those
high
quality
family
day
care
homes
and
the
whole
mix.
But
it's
complicated
it's
difficult.
We
found
that
out.
J
E
H
E
Million
to
111
million,
if
you
split
the
difference,
it
falls
somewhere
in
the
range
of
70.
It's
not
like.
We
haven't
done
things
before
that,
require
that
amount
of
money
and
if
you
look
at
how
other
cities
have
set
it
up,
whether
it's
a
referendum
out
of
California
or
a
soda
tax,
adda
out
of
New
York
or
believe
it's
actually
a
marijuana
tax
in
Denver,
although
I
could
be
wrong
and
they're
raising
a
lot
of
money,
far
in
excess
of
32
million,
even
at
once,
accounting
for
the
per
capita
difference
between
the
cities.
G
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
thank
you
Vampir
for
bringing
this
and
putting
it
on
the
agenda
for
discussion.
Obviously,
a
lot
of
people
are
interested
in
this
topic.
I
appreciate
when
it
came
out
as
part
of
the
budget
staff
direction,
we
were
looking
for
a
report
back
I
think
it
was
in
September,
something
like
that.
So
it's
really
important
as
I've
been
a
part
of
the
youth
cabinet
since
its
beginning
and
meeting
every
month
on
this
topic
is
start
hearing
from
folks
like
and
the
grood
over
at
ycb.
G
This
you
know
the
outside
cost
of
this
represents
about
a
third
of
our
general
fund,
so
I
think
yeah,
it's
a
lot
of
money,
and
yes,
we've
done
big
things
for
big
money,
but
I
think
we're
all
going
to
have
to
realize
that
the
the
tolerance
for
how
much
we
can
do
and
what
our
role
is
and
what
other
people
are
doing,
what
the
consequences
would
be
of
you
know,
daycare
centers
all
need
to
be
looked
at
as
part
of
this.
So
absolutely
it's
important
to
talk
about
it
now.
G
So
it's
not
part
of
the
budget
discussion.
A
lot
more
work
needs
to
happen
on
this.
So
I'm
talking
about
your
further
study
and
finding
out
what
the
legislative
audit
Department
is
thinking
about
with
the
city
of
st.
Paul.
So
these
are
all
important
aspects
that
we
need
to
consider
it's
because
the
output
and
the
outcome
is
really
important
to
think
about.
What
are
we
doing
about
our
kids?
What
are
we
doing
about
our
city
and
our
education
system?
G
What's
the
role
in
the
city
and
playing
that
is
it
part
of
the
state
role
is
part
of
the
federal
role
as
a
part
of
the
park
board
relationship.
All
those
answers
would
be
yes,
so
we
just
have
to
consider
this
carefully
moving
it
forward.
So
I
know
this
is
just
a
receive
and
file
item
on
this,
but
it
was
really
important
to
bring
it
up,
so
we
could
start
talking
about
it
as
a
group.
How
big
of
a
priority
is
it?
G
The
other
thing
we're
talking
about
is
where
should
this
be
looked
at
because
the
youth
cabinet,
as
we
established
it,
was
specifically
charged
with
an
internal
view
of
putting
a
youth
lens
on
our
work
from
our
department's
perspective,
it
doesn't
include
you
it's
not
about
youth,
it's
about
our
work
for
our
youth
in
the
city
enterprise,
but
as
we
were
coming
up
on
the
budget,
this
is
the
logical
place
for
it.
It's
in
the
coordinators
department,
and
it's
not
something
that
we
could.
G
We
couldn't
impose
this
kind
of
study
or
this
staff
direction
on,
for
example,
the
mayor's
staff
as
part
of
the
cradle
decay,
or
we
couldn't
impose
it
on
ycb.
So
I
really
appreciate
I,
think
it
was
council,
member
Johnson
or
maybe
council,
member
Gordon,
of
course,
as
being
the
chair
of
ycd,
that
this
should
be
looked
at
as
part
of
our
work.
G
I
think
we're
going
to
have
to
realize
our
definition
of
Universal
is
going
to
have
to
change,
because
we
can't
afford
universal
free
coverage
for
everybody,
but
is
it
appropriate
to
stack
it
with
priorities
and
needs
or
Geographic
or
outcomes?
So
those
are
the
work
that's
best
handled
by
multi
jurisdictional
partners.
So
I
appreciate
the
fact
that
it
should
be
part
of
the
ycb
considerations,
so
nothing
more
except
those.
G
Those
comments
on
specific
questions,
commissioner,
but
I
appreciate
the
work
the
Health
Department
put
into
this,
and
the
youth
grab
nets,
focus
on
it
for
the
past
several
months
and
bringing
it
forward
early
enough
that
we
could
make
a
decision,
or
at
least
a
recommendation
as
it
relates
to
the
upcoming
budget,
which
we're
about
to
start
talking
about.
In
a
matter
of
two
weeks,
so
thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
A
H
D
A
K
Madam
chair,
the
community
development
of
regulatory
services
is
bringing
14
items
through
for
approval
on
Friday
item
number.
1
is
a
bond
issuance
for
an
affordable

K
E
A
J
You
very
much,
madam
vice
president,
the
health
environment,
green
engagement
committee's
bringing
one
item
forward
for
consideration
on
Friday.
It's
the
tobacco

This
is
the
amendment
to
our
flavored

ordinance
that
will
take
away
the
exemption
to
menthol

shops.
I
will
note
that
the

made
two
adjustments
or
changes.
J
And
then
we

don't
know

happened.

exception
of

stand
for
questions.
