Thank
you.
Madam
president.
The
health
environmental
community
engagement
committee
is
bringing
forward
five
items
today
for
consideration.
The
first
is
the
passage
of
an
ordinance
amending
title
11
chapter
255
dealing
with
carry
out
bags
and
retail
establishments
are
to
bring
your
own
bag.
Ordinance.
Second
item
is
a
facility
use
agreements
for
disaster
relief
and
we're
moving
the
amended
action
from
ways
and
means.
The
third
item
is
an
agreement
with
the
division
of
Indian
work
for
health
related
services.
G
A
A
You
mr.
chair,
my
staff
direction
today
that
is
actually
staff
direction,
but
a
substitute
for
enacting
the
ordinance
and
the
direction
would
be
to
send
back
to
staff,
and
it
should
be
in
front
of
you
I'm,
going
to
add
a
few
words
to
it.
Send
back
to
staff
for
more
input
from
low-income
people
and
retailers,
especially
small
businesses,
and
then
develop
a
recommendation
that
creates
a
source
of
revenue
for
environmental
and
litter,
cleanup
and
environmental
education,
and
then
additionally
reduces
plastic
waste
and
I'll.
Move
that.
D
G
Thank
you
very
much.
This
is
the
first
time
I've
seen
the
staff
direction
and
I'm
guess:
I'm
I
think
that
we
can
go
ahead
and
pass
the
ordinance,
and
we
could
also
take
the
direction
to
explore
and
get
more
input
from
people
and
also
come
up
with
recommendations
to
create
a
source
of
revenue
for
environmentally
to
clean
up.
So
when
I'm
reading
this
I
don't
actually
see
it
necessarily
contradicting
the
ordinance
and
I
it.
G
But
it's
a
little
bit
unclear
on
because
it
was
mentioned
as
a
substitute,
so
I
guess
we'd
be
sending
back
the
entire
ordinance
for
staff.
I.
Think
that
creates
problems.
I,
don't
think
that
it's
necessarily.
Why
is
this
we're
dealing
with
an
ordinance
that
we
actually
passed
well
over
a
year
ago
trying
to
deal
with
a
very
serious
environmental
problem
that
we
have
in
the
city,
but
also
beyond
that
I
think
we
had
a
good
model
and
back
we
were
ready
to
implement
that
and
then
the
state
preempted
part
of
our
ordinance.
G
So
what
we
did
was
we
looked
at
it
again
and
we
wanted
to
clean
up
where
the
problem
was
the
ordinance
that
we
passed
and
I
think
it
was.
A
supermajority
of
a
support
of
the
ordinance
did
have
a
five
cent
fee
on
paper
bags
and
people
understood.
That
was
an
incentive
that
would
help
people
remember
to
bring
their
own
bags.
G
I
was
modeled
after
something
that's
been
done
in
many
countries
throughout
the
world,
many
cities
states
hopeful
state
of
Hawaii
has
adopted
a
similar
ordinance,
the
state
game
and
preempted,
and
said
we
can't
ban
plastic
bags.
So
this
was
a
councilman
of
Warsaw
me
and
I
met
and
discuss
what
to
do
and
who
have
this
because
half
of
our
ordinance
was
was
apparently
legal
and
the
other
half
of
it
was
it.
So
what
made
the
most
sense
in
consultation
with
staff?
G
Also
listening
to
people
at
the
public
hearing
was
to
do
a
fee
on
both
paper
and
plastic.
Unfortunately,
it
looks
like
the
bag
industry
went
forward
with
a
campaign
against
it.
I
think
the
only
entity
that's
really
going
to
lose
in
this
is
the
bag
industry
that
manufactures
plastic
bags.
Out-Of-State
I,
understand
it
well.
I
was
out
on
a
brief
vacation.
A
You
mr.
chair,
I,
am
proposing
this
name.
I
want
to
make
it
clear.
I
want
to
send
the
entire
matter
back
to
staff
for
further
review,
so
it
would
negate
item
1
and
sent
it
back
for
further
review.
I
would
tell
you
councilmember
councilmembers,
it
isn't
the
big
industry
that's
been
contacting
me.
It
is
actually
small
businesses
and
the
community
itself.
That
tells
me
that
this
is
an
onerous
thing
to
do.
I
find
it
offensive
that
we
would
tell
retailers
to
impose
a
fee
on
themselves
again
getting
into
business
practices
that
they
already.
A
Some
retailers
have
done
this
already.
If
you
go
to
Aldi
to
all
these
store
in
my
word
at
Lorien
10
and
you
buy
a
you,
buy
groceries
there,
it
you
have
to
buy
a
plastic
bag
and
they
charge
you
for
it.
Now.
I've
never
had
to
do
that.
I
brought
my
own
bag
and
always,
but
what
happened?
Those
retailers
have
the
opportunity
to
charge
what
they
want
to
charge
and
for
us
to
tell
them
that
they
have
to
do
this.
A
To
me
is
over
the
top,
so
I
think
it's
important
to
understand
what
we
are
doing
again.
I'm
going
to
say
this
I've
said
it
before
I'm
going
to
say
it
again
to
understand
what
we
are
doing
to
small
business
in
the
city,
which
is
apparently
trying
to
drive
them
out,
and
it's
not
right.
It's
not
fair
and
it
impacts
communities
that
that
survive
on
a
thin,
thin
margin.
A
Businesses
in
those
communities
survive
on
pennies,
on
a
dollar,
and
so,
when
you
add
a
requirement
to
them
that
they're
perfectly
free
to
impose
themselves
you
you
have
done
nothing
last
week,
I
had
complaints
from
I
really
think
it's
important.
If
we're
going
to
do
a
fee,
let's
do
a
fee
that
lets
us
figure
out
how
to
clean
up
some
of
the
litter
that
we
see
on
our
streets.
Last
week,
I
had
a
constituent
complain
to
me
about
a
litter
on
Penn
Avenue
north.
A
Well,
we
have
a
contract
with
Panathinaikos
was
sentenced
to
serve
to
come
and
do
litter
cleanups
on
a
number
of
our
arterial
streets
every
every
week
they
clean
it
up.
Well,
that's
not
enough.
The
litter
accumulates
between
the
week
and
the
answer
when
I
ask
the
county,
if
they
would
like
to
speed
that
cleanup
up,
maybe
do
it
twice
a
week
on
some
of
the
arterial
streets.
The
answer
is:
show
us
the
money
they
they
contract.
You
know
its
contracts
with
them.
If
we
want
to
increase
the
litter
cleanup,
it's
going
to
cost
us
money.
A
H
You
mr.
chair
I
will
not
be
supporting
the
substitute
motion.
You
know
we've
been
talking
about
this
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis
for
something
like
five
years.
It
was
actually
my
predecessor
in
the
tenth
Ward
who
first
sort
of
lightly
proposed
regulations
on
plastic
bags,
and
then
the
official
process
has
been
happening
for
I.
I
J
Andrew
Johnson
Thank
You
mr.
chair
I,
will
support
this
motion
today.
I
will
agree
with
my
colleague,
councilmember
fry.
The
previous
ordinance
was
actually
banning
plastic
bags
altogether
and
it
also,
through
amendment,
created
a
revenue
stream
to
address
litter
cleanup
in
the
city.
I,
don't
think
the
mix
is
right
on
this,
and
I've
actually
specifically
talked
to
several
leaders
that
represent
communities
of
color
and
low-income
communities,
who
have
expressed
concern
about
the
disproportionate
impact
that
this
fee
will
have
on
their
residents.
J
J
Statewide
would
have
created
nearly
20
million
dollars
a
year
in
revenue
to
clean
up
our
rivers
and
our
lakes
and
to
reduce
litter,
so
I
think
we
can
get
to
something
that
is
more
beneficial
in
terms
of
by
mental
outcome.
I'm
happy
to
work
with
the
authors
on
that,
but
I
do
have
concerns
about
this
ordinance
as
it
stands,
I
think
it
can
be
stronger
for
the
environments
that
can
do
better
for
all
of
our
residents.
G
Thank
you
very
much,
I
appreciate
the
comments
and
the
discussion
on
this
I
did
just
want
to
clarify
the
what
we.
What
we
passed
in
the
past
was
a
fee
on
paper
bags.
Sophie
was
part
of
it.
I
think
it
passed
on
attend
three
vote,
I'm,
not
exactly
sure,
but
it
was
definitely
a
supermajority.
So
everybody
who
voted
for
the
plastic
bag
ban
was
supporting
also
a
fee
on
paper
as
well
as
all
the
people
that
came
in
and
spoke
I.
G
Don't
know
if
you
remember
the
public
hearing
that
we
had
originally,
but
the
room
was
absolutely
packed.
People
came
in.
They
spoke
for
over
an
hour
supporting
this
idea
because
they
want
to
see
us
do
something
not
only
to
help
keep
our
city
cleaner,
but
also
deal
with
is
probably
the
second
most
serious
problem
in
the
environment
globally,
which
is
plastic
and
waste
plastic
that
ends
in
our
streams,
our
rivers,
our
wildlife
in
our
oceans
and
in
Minneapolis.
G
If
we're
lucky
enough
to
pick
up
the
plastic
and
get
it
get
it
put
in
some
kind
of
receptacle,
then
it's
burnt
downtown.
It's
burnt
downtown
where
this
pollution
that
comes
out
of
the
staff
that
goes
into
the
air
over
our
city
and
people
breathe
that
parts
of
the
city
that
have
the
highest
asthma
rate
anywhere
in
the
state
are
close
to
that
garbage
burner.
Where
we're
burning
all
this
plastic
constantly,
and
even
if
it
gets
to
our
recycling
facility,
they
can't
recycle
it.
G
There's
no
one
to
buy
it,
there's
no
market
for
it
and
what
it
ends
up
doing
is
it
ends
up
tying
up
all
the
mechanics
of
the
recycling
facility,
so
they
shut
it
down
six
to
ten
times
a
day,
so
they
can
cut
all
the
plastic
off
put
that
in
a
bin
and
take
it
downtown
to
burn
it
in
the
burner.
I
also
want
to
point
out
that,
while
the
legislature
preempted
us,
it
was
not
the
full
legislature.
In
fact
not
one
single
city
legislature
legislature
supported
the
exemption.
They
all
supported,
keeping
our
ordinance
intact.
G
It
was
the
republican-led
Legislature
and
the
vote
was
write
down,
party
lines
and
almost
was
vetoed
by
the
governor,
except
it
hung
in
by
a
thread,
and
apparently
he
was
unwilling
to
do
so
because
of
the
package
of
his
bill
that
was
sent
to
him.
So
it
was
the
Republicans
in
the
legislature
that
preempted
it
and
stopped
it
the
Democrats
and
there
are
any
independents,
but
all
the
other
parties
supported
letting
us
do.
Our
experiment.
G
I
also
wanted
to
point
out
that
this
one
of
the
reasons
why
we
picked
this
model
was
because
it
was
the
best
way
to
support
our
retailers.
This
is
what
they
did
in
the
West
Coast,
the
the
five
cent
pass-through
charge
it
goes
to
the
retailers
is
now
warmly
embraced
and
accepted
by
them,
because
they're
able
to
recover
the
cost
for
their
bags,
they're
able
to
lower
their
operating
expenses
and
prices
and
other
foods.
G
That's
one
of
the
reasons
why
all
these
in
some
stores
don't
buy
the
bags
in
the
first
place,
because
then
they
can
keep
their
prices
low.
So
there's
a
trade-off
and
a
benefit.
People
are
paying
for
the
bags
right
now.
When
they
shop
and
they're
paying
for
the
bags,
because
the
cost
of
the
things
that
they're
buying
those
retailers
have
to
gather
those
costs,
this
gives
them
a
chance
to
recover
those
costs
and
also
send
a
message
to
all
of
us.
G
Maybe
we
should
think
twice
and
bring
our
own
bag
and
the
fact
of
the
matter
is
bringing
your
own
bag
saves
you
money,
you're,
not
paying
the
fee
and
in
many
cases
you
actually
then
get
a
benefit.
A
deduction
on
your
bill
for
bringing
the
bag,
because
there's
another
incentive
that
the
store
creates
I.
Think
if
we
go
forward
with
this
now
we
can
go
and
do
our
research.
We
can
get
more
input.
We
can
see
how
it's
working.
G
You
know
we
can
explore
the
possibility
of
CETIS
setting
aside
money
for
some
kind
of
environmental
benefit,
but
I
think
we're
not
going
to
have
the
authority
to
do
a
tax
for
us
to
collect
that
anyway.
To
do
that,
that's
something
we
can
find
anytime.
We
want
out
of
the
general
fund
if
we
want
to
put
some
money
for
that
and
I
totally
support
looking
at
how
we
could
do
that,
and
hopefully
it'll
be
part
of
our
zero
waste
plan.
G
I
am
not
sure
how
close
I
am
to
my
time
limit,
but
I've
got
a
few
more
minutes.
I
think
somehow.
This
has
gotten
blown
out
of
proportion.
I
just
want
to
emphasize
that
there's
already
over
160
you
cities
that
are
doing
bans
and
fees.
Some
people
have
been
doing
this
for
decades
and
decades.
There's
also
many
countries,
including
Kenya
Rwanda,
Botswana,
Ethiopia,
Somalia,
Bangladesh,
Mexico
and
China
that
are
regulating
bags
so
that
they
stop
this
problem
and
they
do
their
part.
G
Many
more
countries
have
enacted
single
you
bag
fees,
so
they
weren't
able
to
do
a
ban,
but
they
did
a
bag
fee
and
they've
seen
they've
seen
very
positive
results
in
terms
of
their
waste
stream,
including
Ireland,
Denmark,
Wales,
Italy,
Scotland,
Germany,
England
and
Belgium.
We
have
Duluth
ready
to
enact
something
like
this,
so
they
can
help
help,
save
and
keep
healthy,
the
largest
freshwater
lake
in
the
world
to
do
their
part
and
they're
watching
us
carefully.
A
Mr.
chair
and
I
just
would
point
out
again:
we
are
not
prohibiting
any
retailer
from
doing
exactly
this.
Imposing
a
paper
bag
fee
or
plastic
bag
fee
for
their
customers
and
I.
Think
some
retailers
have
already
done
that
as
council
member
Gordon
mentioned
some
retailers
give
you
a
credit
for
bringing
your
own
bag.
That's
a
business
decision,
and
so
I've
encouraged
my
colleagues
again
to
send
us
back.
Let's
talk
some
more
and
figure
out
a
way
to
fund
what
we
really
are
interested
in,
which
is
environmental,
cleanup
and
litter
cleanup
in
this
city,
okay,.
C
A
H
B
A
C
A
B
A
F
You,
madam
president,
today
we
have
three
items
for
approval.
The
first
item
is
the
appointment
of
Chief
of
Police,
and
the
second
item
is
a
grant
from
the
Minnesota
Justice
foundation
for
participation
in
the
law
program
for
the
Civil
Rights
Department.
And
the
third
item
is
a
2017
Community
Partnership
grant
from
CenterPoint
Energy
for
tracking
bracelets
for
the
Minneapolis
Fire,
Department
and
I
will
move
items
number
two
and
three
and
I
will
pull
one
up.
This
question
comes.
A
C
C
F
You,
madam
president,
I'm
going
to
move
this
item
for
approval
and
I.
Imagine
you
know
most
of
the
folks
who
are
here
for
this
historic
occasion
and
I
just
wanted
to
be
really
quick.
That
I
made
most
of
my
comments
and
the
Public
Safety
Committee,
but
I
think
this
is
a
historic
moment
for
the
city
of
Minneapolis
and
that
you
know
we
took
this
long
to
get
here.
I
just
think
it's
great
that
we
got
here
and
we
have
a.
F
We
have
a
great
candidates
for
the
appointment
of
chief
of
police
in
madera,
arredondo
and
now
I
hope.
My
colleagues
support
this
appointment
made
by
the
mayor
and
I'm
sure
the
mayor
might
have
some
things
to
say
as
well,
and
so
I'm
reserve
my
comments
for
that.
But
you
know
I'm
just
thrilled
that
we
have
now
a
great
public
servant
and
arredondo
who
is
willing
to
take
on
this
task,
and
you
know
looking
forward
to
just
the
great
things
that
he's
going
to
do
in
the
next
17
months
and
hopefully
into
the
future
as
well.
K
K
Today
we
are
asking
a
one
time:
child
of
Minneapolis,
of
the
Southside
who,
for
the
last
28
years,
has
served
as
an
officer
who
has
risen
through
the
ranks
of
our
department
to
take
on
the
top
job
in
our
Police
Department.
This
is
a
great
challenge
and
a
great
opportunity,
and
we
are
we're
asking
them
to
take
on
this
job
at
an
unprecedented
time
for
our
residents.
It
is
a
time
when
they
have
been
shaken
by
recent
events,
the
shooting
of
Justine
diamond
to
be
sure
and
others
as
well.
K
We
are
asking
him
to
do
this
when
not
only
in
Minneapolis,
but
nationally
more
attention
than
ever
and
more
expectations
than
ever
are
on
policing
on
police
officers
and
police
departments,
including
our
own.
We
are
asking
him
to
do
this
at
a
time
when
some
residents
believe
that
our
highest
imperative
is
public,
trust
and
other
residents
believe
our
highest
imperative
is
public
safety,
and
if
some
of
them,
those
two
things,
feel
incompatible,
and
we
are
asking
him
to
take
on
the
job
at
a
time
when
many
of
our
officers
are
oath.
K
We
are
also
deeply
affected
by
the
same
recent
event,
their
profession,
as
well
as
our
expectations
for
it
is
changing
rapidly,
and
they
are
wondering
what
is
next.
In
the
midst
of
this
change
and
uncertainty,
they
continue
to
heed
the
call
and
serve
in
ways
small
and
large,
including
just
a
couple
of
weeks
ago,
at
the
Minnehaha
Academy,
where
I
spoke
to
officers
who
had
just
raced
toward
a
burning
building
to
save
lives
with
no
thought
of
their
arms.
This
is
the
unprecedented
moment
in
which
we
are
asking
acting
chief
arredondo
to
serve
as
chief.
K
We
are
asking
him
to
do
it
because
in
this
unprecedented
moment
he
is
the
person
of
community
the
person
of
service
and
the
person
of
vision
who
I
am
confident
will
lead
us
to
where
we
know
we
want
to
go
Rondo.
As
we
know,
him
is
a
person
of
community
and,
let
me
be
clear:
Rondo
isn't
just
committed
to
community.
He
is
a
person
of
community
made
and
shaped
by
it
in
his
core.
K
Anyone
with
any
doubt
about
that
had
only
to
look
at
the
scores
of
people
from
every
community,
neighborhood
and
walk
of
life
who
eagerly
stepped
up
to
speak
in
support
of
him.
At
last
week's
public
hearing
to
a
person,
people
told
us
that
Rondo's
rootedness
in
community
gives
them
a
level
of
belief
and
confidence
and
trust
in
him.
That
is
matched
in
almost
no
one
else
and
I
know
that
dr.
Josie
Johnson
at
Clyde
Bellecourt
are
here
today
they
too
rooted
in
community.
They
know
him
and
they
spoke
to
him.
K
Rondo
is
a
person
of
service.
He
has
dedicated
his
professional
life
to
serving
the
people
of
Minneapolis
and
the
Minneapolis
Police
Department
by
working
as
a
team,
member
and
collaborator
sharing
credit
and
putting
others
forward
ahead
of
himself.
I
am
especially
pleased
that,
as
chief,
he
will
be
a
great
collaborator
and
team
player
with
his
colleagues
all
across
the
department
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis
and
the
service-oriented
leadership
quality
of
Rondo
that
has
struck
me.
K
The
most
one
that
is
rooted
in
being
a
person
of
community
and
a
person
of
service
is
that
he
leads
by
listening.
Many
leaders
lead
by
talking,
but
Rondo
leads
by
listening.
As
a
result,
I
think
everyone
who
has
ever
had
a
conversation
with
him
even
a
brief
one
can
attest
that
they
left
the
conversation
feeling
fundamentally
heard
at
a
time
in
the
life
of
our
city.
When
so
many
people,
including
residents,
including
our
officers,
want
to
be
and
feel
fundamentally
heard
and
acknowledged
on
issues
related
to
policing
safety
and
Trust.
K
His
ability
to
lead
from
a
place
of
service
and
listening
is
essential
and
Rondo
is
a
person
of
vision.
This
may
be
an
aspect
of
him
with
which
people
are
less
familiar
because
he
he
has
a
habit
of
putting
others
first
and
making
sure
others
are
heard
first,
but
I
have
already
seen,
and
we
will
all
soon
see
that
he
has
a
clear
vision
of
Public,
Safety
and
public
trust
not
as
incompatible
but
as
essential
and
inseparable
components
of
one
another.
K
K
So,
as
I
said,
today
is
a
big
day
for
Minneapolis
council
members.
Thank
you
for
what
you're
about
to
do
on
this
big
day
and
I.
Do
again
ask
you
for
your
support
for
acting
chief
Arredondo
as
chief
to
our
officers.
Thank
you
for
your
continued
dedication
and
service
to
our
residents.
Thank
you
for
your
ongoing
commitment
to
make
Minneapolis
the
best
we
can
be
and
finally
acting
chief
Arredondo.
Thank
you
for
your
willingness
to
serve
as
our
chief
in
this
unprecedented
and
powerful
moment
of
transformation
for
our
communities
for
our
city.
K
L
I
think
we
need
every
officer
to
feel
this
way
and
we
need
every
resident
to
feel
this
way
about
our
Minneapolis
Police
Department
lots
of
residents
from
all
over
the
city
said
they
felt
in
there
that
he's
the
right
choice
that
they
are
convinced
that
he
Rondo
can
make
a
difference
that
they
sign
up
to
help
and
be
part
of
it,
and
that
you
need
the
full
support
of
all
of
us.
So
I'm
signing
up
to
do
that.
L
The
x-factor
that
I
see
for
Rondo
is,
can
he
take
the
man
that
he
is
and
the
person
that
he's
been
in
his
professional
actions
to
lead
and
inspire
a
department
and
to
forge
his
personal
relationships
across
our
city
to
the
benefit
of
this
whole
department,
when
I
sat
down
with
Rondo
we've
drilled
down
on?
Well,
we
drilled
down
on
lots
of
things
and
in
those
meetings
and
and
I
was
really
pleased
with.
With
that
conversation,
four
weeks
ago,
today,
I
called
for
change
in
the
police
department
from
the
top
to
the
bottom.
L
We
got
immediate
change
at
the
top.
Thanks
to
me
or
Hodges
for
responding
so
quickly
to
that
call,
and
now
what's
our
bottom
up
strategy,
how
does
this
permeate
throughout
the
department?
I
think
that's
going
to
be
a
lot
harder.
How
does
all
law
enforcement
develop
the
capacity
that
people
speak
about
Rondo,
having
an
ability
and
uncanny
talent
to
reach
across
cultures,
to
build
a
single,
greater
community
that
can,
as
they
said,
be
with
us
every
step
of
the
way
like
they
feel
he
has
been
for
us?
L
I
know
it
cannot
be
in
us-versus-them
way
to
make
policing
better
in
this
country
and
a
few
weeks
ago
the
head
of
the
minneapolis
police
union
had
a
well-written
op-ed
piece,
and
he
had
some
really
important
statistics
to
remember
about
our
own
department
and
our
own
officers.
But
I
fundamentally
disagree
with
his
premise
that
we
don't
have
a
systemic
problem
of
policing.
I
can
accept
that
and
I
don't
want
a
police
chief
that
would
we
not
just
Minneapolis
police,
but
policing
in
America
needs
law
enforcement
to
not
accept
that
premise.
L
A
New
York
Times
article
recently
spoke
about
over
a
thousand
deaths
nationally
and
over
50,000
injuries
of
police
citizen
interactions.
I
couldn't
agree
more
with
that
article
and
Rondo,
through
our
very
detailed
conversations
about
bold
ideas
on
reform,
about
what
our
officers
need
to
feel
supported
about
what
our
residents
need
for
law
enforcement
about
how
to
strengthen
accountability
in
relationships
and
much
more
I
believe
that
Rondo
knows
agrees
and
he
will
work
on
re-engineering
interactions
between
civilians
and
officers.
H
H
H
We
also
need
to
take
responsibility
as
elected
officials,
every
single
one
of
us,
no
matter
the
structure
of
direct
command
within
our
city's
government
to
supporting
change
within
our
department,
and
that
comes
into
our
budgetary
priorities
and
very
much
looking
forward
to
our
new
acting
chief
to
talk
through
more
of
the
discussions
that
we've
been
having
about
how
to
expand
our
investments
in
safety
and
violence
prevention
in
the
mayor's
pilot
community
beyond
safety
program.
In
the
discussion
that
we
had
last
year
about
how
to
allocate
resources
for
mental
health
care,
responders
and
again,
violence
prevention.
H
We
have
a
situation
where,
when
I
talked
to
some
members
of
our
community,
they
were
literally
afraid
to
come
to
City
Hall
to
speak
at
the
public
hearing
and
that
needs
to
change.
Above
all,
what
we're
doing
here
in
the
brief
time
that
any
of
us
are
in
elected
office
is
deciding
what
kind
of
city
our
children
are
going
to
live
in
and
to
have
a
city
where
black
and
brown
children,
young
people
are
afraid
to
come
to
their
City
Hall.
Their
elected
governments.
H
Place
of
operation
is
something
that
needs
to
deeply
change
and
I
believe
in
in
Rondo's
ability
to
lead
us
through
that.
But
again
it
takes
the
responsibility
and
all
of
us
stepping
up
and
acknowledging
that
and
working
together
to
change
it.
Any
change
in
our
police
leadership
would
have
required
the
support
of
the
City
Council
at
any
time,
and
so
I
think
mayor
Hodges
now
for
stepping
to
word
with
this
change,
but
I
also
want
to
acknowledge
again
the
responsibility
of
every
elected
official
in
our
city
on
these
major
decisions.
I
We've
seen
two
police
shootings.
We
know
that
significant
reform
is
necessary
and,
yes,
systemic
reforms
are
necessary
and
simultaneously
we
have
had
a
significant
uptick
in
violent
crime,
specifically
shootings.
We
can't
ignore
these
facts.
These
are
facts
and
I
am
I,
am
pleased.
I
am
very
pleased
to
see
inspector
Rondo
come
forward.
He
has
been
a
wonderful
leader
and
he's
been
extraordinary
to
work
with
in
his
first
Precinct
inspector
retained
a
really
special
relationship
with
him
as
I
know
and
I
know,
I'm,
not
unique
in
any
way
shape
or
form.
I
M
The
relationships
between
people
of
color
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis
and
the
department
and
implement
some
of
the
some
of
the
ideas
that
we
have
discussed
in
terms
of
you
know
bring
in
more
people
of
color
into
the
police
department
and
also
changing
the
culture
within
the
police
department
and
I.
Think
that
he's
a
man
of
courage
and
I'm
glad
that
I'm
going
to
take
a
part
in
his
appointment
today.
So
thank
you
very
much
to
everyone.
Councilman.
J
You,
madam
chair,
it's
a
tough
time
in
policing
and
especially
to
step
into
the
role
of
being
a
police
chief
and
takes
a
lot
of
courage
to
do
that.
I'm,
proud
to
support
you
chief
and
look
forward
to
our
work
together
in
partnership.
I
want
to
remind
you
again,
please
leverage
us
as
council
members
in
the
work
that
you're
doing
I
know
it.
J
You
can't
do
it
all
alone
and
you've
got
a
team
that
you're
surrounded
with
and
a
lot
of
exceptional
folks
throughout
the
department
that
you
can
leverage
as
well
in
doing
that
work
in
fulfilling
that
vision.
But
please
leverage
elected
leaders
and
continue
to
leverage
folks
without
the
community
throughout
the
community.
You
have
a
lot
of
support
within
the
community
for
good
reason
and
I.
J
Think
that's
why
you
have
so
much
support
up
here
today
why
we
are
proud
to
support
you
and
I
know
that
it's
a
never-ending
job,
but
I
would
encourage
you
to
take
a
moment
with
your
family
to
celebrate
as
well
and
take
time
throughout
the
work,
because
it's
so
easy
to
get
bogged
down
in
reaction
to
take
time
throughout
the
work.
To
think
about,
where
we're
going
as
a
department,
if
that's
on
track
with
your
vision
and
what
more
you
need
in
order
to
make
that
happen.
J
A
But
to
me
that's
the
the
most
important
quality
that
Rondo
brings
to
this
really
terribly
terribly
hard
job
and
again
I
just
want
to
say
I've
said
it
before
I
want
to
say
it
again.
Thank
you
for
being
willing
to
take
on
this
responsibility.
It's
a
huge
responsibility
and
I
know.
You'll.
Do
a
great
job,
so
I'm
really
pleased
that
you're
willing
to
do
this
Kirk
call
the
roll.
B
E
N
N
I'd
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
talk
about
the
historical
importance
of
today
and
while
I
went
through
my
28
years
and
quite
frankly,
even
last
month.
Never
knowing
I'd
be
before
all
of
you
today.
In
this
position,
I
meant
what
I
said
in
my
28
years.
I
have
never
felt
for
one
hour
that
my
community
was
not
supportive
of
me
in
the
work
that
I
was
doing.
N
I
stand
on
the
shoulders
of
both
heroes
and
heroes,
it
through
their
trials,
tribulations
sacrifices
and
fights
have
allowed
me
and
others
to
be
at
the
place
and
have
the
opportunities
that
I
have
today
I'm
so
blessed
when
I
mentioned
she
rose
to
have
someone
like
dr.
Josie
Johnson,
be
with
us
today,
and,
and
certainly
miss
Deb
Montgomery,
who
has
been
a
leader
in
pioneer
in
so
many
aspects
too,
but
also
just
had
the
friendship
and
relationships
of
someone
like
elder
Bellport,
mr.
moss
and
others
in
the
room
today.
N
We
will
never
succeed
if
we
do
not
have
the
trust
of
our
community,
and
so
there
will
be
dark
days
and
there
will
be
difficulties
and
I
will
call
upon
all
of
you
to
help
support
us
in
doing
the
work,
but
we
must,
in
terms
of
Minneapolis
Police
Department.
We
are
responsible
for
doing
that.
Work,
I
do
plan
to
have
a
shift
in
our
culture.
It's
been
150
years
with
the
Minneapolis
Police
Department.
N
N
That's
important
for
the
communities
that
have
trusted
us.
They
must
know
that
we
are
holding
ourselves
accountable.
I
also
want
to
focus
on
outcomes,
not
so
much
just
for
the
police
department.
But
what
are
the
outcomes
that
our
communities
feel
are
important
to
them,
and
I
want
to
wrap
all
of
that
under
the
blanket
of
procedural
justice
that
the
men
and
women
of
this
Police
Department
know
that
we
must
give
our
community
members
voice.
We
must
give
them
respect.
N
We
must
treat
them
with
the
dignity
they
deserve
and
all
of
this
in
terms
of
building
a
trustworthiness
and
being
neutral
and
non-judgmental.
At
the
same
time,
it's
going
to
be
a
heavy
lift
but
I'm
ready
for
it,
as
someone
had
said
before,
in
