From YouTube: December 1, 2017 Budget Subcommittee
Description
Ways & Means Budget Subcommittee Meeting
A
This
past
Wednesday
evening,
the
City
Council
conducted
the
first
of
its
two
public
hearings
on
the
recommended
budget
will
conduct
a
second
public
hearing
prior
to
adoption
next
Wednesday
evening,
beginning
at
6:05
in
this
chamber,
once
that
public
meeting
is
concluded,
the
full
council
will
take
up
the
recommended
2018
budget,
including
any
further
amendments
for
final
action.
Today's
markup
section
markup
session
gives
all
the
council
members
the
opportunity
to
raise
questions
or
concerns
about
the
departmental
budgets
or
other
matters
related
to
the
proposed
2018
budget,
including
the
ability
to
bring
forward.
A
First,
our
financial
department
and
our
CFO
Mark
ruff,
deputy
finance
officer,
Lori
Johnson,
and
our
budget
director
Mike
mica,
inter
mil
mark
Lori
and
Micah,
have
certainly
guided
our
review
of
the
mayor's
budget
recommendations
over
these
past
many
weeks
and
have
done
a
significant
amount
of
work
to
ensure
that
council
members
had
the
data
analysis
and
insight
to
make
some
informed
decisions
that
have
brought
us
to
this
point
in
the
process.
The
city
is
fortunate
to
have
them
and
their
colleagues
in
the
finance
department
I
also
wanted
this.
A
That
say
a
special
thanks
and
recognition
to
our
clerk
for
this
committee,
kelly
Giesler.
It's
done
a
fabulous
job,
managing
our
schedule
and
keeping
track
of
our
progress
and
ensuring
that
all
of
our
budget
documents
are
available
for
public
access.
So
colleagues,
we've
spent
the
last
few
months
conducting
hearings
I
think
we've
had
more
than
28
29
different
public
hearings,
that's
about
28
or
29,
more
than
the
US
Senate
has
taken
up
on
their
budget,
but
that's
a
separate
issue.
A
It's
been
a
very
busy
time
so
I'd
like
to
highlight
the
process
that
we're
going
to
follow
today,
starting
from
the
same
page,
we've
reviewed
the
process
for
today's
markup
I'll.
Take
any
after
we've
reviewed
that
process.
I'll
take
any
questions
for
about
the
process,
and
then
we
can
begin
with
our
agenda.
So
by
tradition.
What
we
usually
do
is
have
the
chair
sponsors,
a
series
of
amendments
that
are
more
technical
in
nature,
and
these
items
are
intended
to
help
clarify
the
American
mayor's
original
intent
and
proposal
and
respond
to
developments.
A
Since
the
mayor
presented
the
budget
back
in
end
of
August.
This
includes
a
lot
of
changes
from
federal
and
state
levels
as
well
as
Metropolitan
Council
that
can
impact
the
city's
budget.
These
technical
amendments
are
usually
sponsored
by
the
committee
chair
and
are
developed
by
departments
with
assistance
from
the
finance
department,
so
this
first
action
we'll
consider
today
is
a
series
of
what
we're
calling
the
technical
amendments
by
the
chair,
and
these
amendments
have
been
bundled
together
as
one
package
labeled
number
one
in
your
amendments
package
or
a
packet,
that's
in
front
of
everybody.
A
A
So
as
a
reminder,
the
purpose
of
today's
meeting
is
to
bring
forward
as
many
amendments
as
possible,
so
staff
has
AMP
time
to
reformat
the
budget
package
for
final
presentation
at
the
Council
on
Wednesday
I
understand
that
there's
always
late
amendments
that
developed
after
markup,
and
we
expect
that.
However,
if
there
are
amendments
that
are
ready
today,
which
are
not
included
in
the
prepared
amendments
packages,
we
appreciate
council
members
bringing
them
forward
during
today's.
A
markup
session
will
act
on
each
amendment
separately.
After
all,
the
amendments
have
been
addressed.
A
I'll
move
approval
of
the
mayor's
recommended
2018
budget,
as
amended
by
this
committee
for
submission
to
the
full
City
Council
at
its
adjourn
session
on
next
Wednesday
evening
following
the
second
public
hearing.
So
that's
the
game
plan
we're
going
to
take
up
the
technical
amendments,
labeled
number
one
and
we'll
take
up
the
other
prepared
amendments
submitted
by
council
members
and
order
shown
in
the
in
the
packet.
Then
we'll
open
the
floor
for
further
amendments
and,
after
we've
disposed
of
all
of
those
amendments.
Take
a
final
vote
for
the
entire
package
recommendation
to
the
council.
A
So
are
there
any
questions
on
that
process
from
council
members?
Just
as
a
reminder,
we
are
using
speaker
management,
so
we
encourage
everybody
to
get
into
that,
but
if
we,
if
you
are
not
able
to
get
our
attention,
the
red
tags
were
always
a
source.
So
let's
look
at
first
as
we
begin
the
agenda,
we'll
look
at
the
technical
amendments.
I've
asked
mr.
inter
mill
if
he
could
briefly
summarize
these
amendments
and
pause
for
any
questions
of
each
of
these
technical
amendments,
then
I
plan
to
move
the
entire
package
forward
as
a
package.
So
mr.
B
B
The
last
six
months
as
I'm
on
border
to
the
city
they've
been
doing
double
duty,
not
only
doing
their
regular
jobs,
but
also
teaching
me
so
Brad,
Hahnel,
gina
powell
and
jeffrey
mercury,
who
is
not
here
with
us
today,
have
been
exemplary
in
that
effort
and
we
have
an
addition
to
our
team.
Robert
Harrison
has
joined
us
from
the
city
of
San
Francisco
as
a
new
budget
analyst.
B
So
again,
none
of
these
amendments
incur
additional
general
fund
or
property
tax
supported
expense.
Excuse
me
in
my
my
thank
yous
I
was
remiss
in
not
acknowledging
capital
budget
director
Mike,
apron
and
Jeff
Matson
on
his
team.
So
so
again,
none
of
the
amendments
incurs
additional
general
fund
or
property
tax,
supported
expense,
I'll,
explain
each
item
and
any
associated
fiscal
impact
in
all
cases
where
additional
expense
is
incurred.
Fund
balance
are
sufficient
to
cover
the
additional
expense.
B
B
B
The
third
item
is
related
to
the
Samsa
grant.
When
we
were
updating
the
department
salaries
for
current
service
level
targets,
we
inadvertently
increased
these
grant
funds,
which
should
not
have
happened,
and
so
we're
removing
a
of
roughly
23
thousand
dollars.
Just
in
that
correction
and
also
moving
fifty
thousand
dollars
from
the
coordinator
to
be
spent
in
the
health
department,
this
is
happening
in
practice.
It
were
just
codifying
it
in
the
book.
B
B
The
seventh
item
is
accelerating
the
timetable
for
funding
of
the
Fridley
filter
plant
project.
There's
an
agenda
item
on
next
week's
Ways
and
Means
agenda
to
increase
the
2017
appropriation
just
shifting
the
timing
of
these
funds
and
in
doing
so,
we'll
be
able
to
apply
for
a
interest-free
loan
through
the
public
facilities
Authority.
B
B
B
The
tenth
item
is
for
fleet
services
in
the
IT
department.
Again
this
was
a
cars
request
that
was
approved,
but
just
was
not
picked
up
in
the
book.
The
11th
item-
I
chuckled,
because
it's
my
favorite
item
on
the
list
renaming
the
transportation
planning
an
engineering
department
as
the
transportation,
engineering
and
design
department.
B
The
twelfth
item
is
related
to
the
downtown
Improvement
District,
just
matching
the
book
to
meet
the
the
contract
that
has
been
approved,
and
the
final
item
is
updating
financial
policies
in
the
budget
book.
There
are
no
substantive
changes,
it's
just
a
reordering
and
clarification
of
existing
policy.
Good.
B
Chair
that
is
the
extent
of
the
technical
amendments,
but
in
the
spirit
of
technical
amendments
we
did
catch
that
our
math
there
at
the
bottom
I
apologize
was
off
a
little
bit
and
both
columns
should
show
that
the
total
impact
is
negative:
eight
million
forty,
nine
thousand
seven
hundred
and
thirteen
dollars.
Okay,.
A
So
that
it's
the
first
change,
if
the
technical
amendments
is
actually
the
total
at
the
bottom,
on
the
left
hand
side,
the
irony
hurts-
and
the
irony
hurts
okay
well
to
put
this
properly
in
front
of
us
as
a
package.
I
will
go
ahead
and
move
approval
of
those,
and
we
have
a
question
from
Council
President,
Johnson
I.
C
B
A
A
Seeing
no
further
questions
on
these
technical
amendments,
all
those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
opposed
those
items
carry.
Thank
you
very
much.
So
we
can
now
take
up
the
prepared
amendment
packet
packet.
Excuse
me
there's
a
index
at
the
top
of
the
at
the
stack,
so
the
first
one
we've
taken
up
is
labeled
number
two,
and
this
is
brought
forward
by
councilmembers
bender
and
FRA
recognize
council
member
bender
for
an
introduction
to
that
item.
Thank.
D
You
mr.
chair,
this
motion
by
councilmember
fry
and
I
is
a
series
of
changes
related
to
public
safety.
The
goal
the
goal
of
the
motion
is
to
find
matching
funds
for
the
cops
grant
that
we
received,
which
is
a
federal
grant
overall,
the
match,
plus
the
grant,
will
allow
us
to
hire
10
additional
sworn
officers
beyond
what
was
in
the
proposed
budget
and
over
time.
This
enables
us
to
save
money
as
a
city,
because
you
might
remember
the
five-year
financial
projection.
We
have
planned
to
increase
the
number
of
sworn
officers.
D
So
part
a
takes
money
from
the
night
time
mobility
program
that
was
proposed
for
downtown
and
moves
it
to
domestic
violence
prevention
to
continue
the
work
that
the
Health
Department
did
after
councilmember,
Palmisano
and
I
found
money
last
year
for
domestic
violence,
ramp
programs,
the
item
B
uses
that
same
source,
plus
a
little
bit
of
money
from
the
collaborative
safety
strategies
to
add
funds
to
the
proposed
budget.
For
the
next
step,
Hospital
based
interventions,
our
health
department
would
be
happy
to
provide
detailed
information
to
anyone
who
wants
to
hear
how
that
program
has
been
going.
D
This
is
a
violence
prevention
program
that
serves
young
people,
who've
been
victims
of
violent
crime
and
it
is
highly
tied
into
the
work
that
we're
doing
with
group
violence.
Intervention
as
showing
great
results
in
the
community
items.
C
is
detailing
how
the
community
safety
strategies
funding
would
be
allocated
based
on
feedback
from
the
council
members
who
had
Ward's
impacted
by
those
funds.
So
it
continues
funding
for
a
little
earth
and
Broadway.
D
The
impact
of
this
plus,
a
few
remaining
motions
that
will
come
is
that
we
will
end
up
with
four
community
liaisons
proposed
in
the
police
department
down
from
the
proposed
eight,
so
that
maintains
that
program
in
its
first
year,
with
four
FTE
focused
on
being
community
liaisons
in
the
police
department,
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
that
customer
FRA
want.
Maybe
want
to
make
some
comments
as
well.
E
Thank
You
mr.
chair
councilmember
bender
gave
an
accurate
recitation
of
what
this
amendment
is
doing.
I
think
it's
in
it's
an
excellent
opportunity
to
continue
some
of
the
collaborative
safety
strategies
that
we're
using
to
utilize
the
next-step
hospital
based
interventions
at
the
hundred
five
thousand
marker,
which
has
done
some
really
really
good
work
and
we're
accessing
quite
a
bit
of
money
in
federal
funding
that
we
wouldn't
otherwise
have
if
we
weren't
willing
to
match
thus
increasing
the
number
of
officers
on
our
force.
This
is
this
is
a.
This
is
a
this
is
a
good
amendment.
F
A
B
F
Okay,
I'll
be
curious,
it
it
looked
like.
Maybe
it
was,
and
maybe
it's
a
it's
moved
somewhere
else
permanently
on
an
ongoing
basis,
but
I
appreciate
that
for
this
amendment
and
I'll
we
can
look
at
that
again.
Maybe
if
one
of
the
author's
note
then
I
will
just
note
that
generally
there's
this
is,
of
course,
is
a
large
package
and
there's
a
lot
of
pieces
to
it
really
appreciate
that
it
looks
like
we
can
expand
our
next
step.
Hospital
program
to
North,
Memorial
I.
Think
that's
going
to
be
significant.
F
That's
been
a
successful
program
that
it's
been
operating
here
at
Hennepin.
County
I
will
note
that
I
am
concerned
and
a
little
disappointed
about
the
community's
Pelias
ons
I
understand
it's
a
it's
a
compromise.
I
agree.
We
really
need
to
find
the
matching
fund,
so
we
can
take
advantage
of
this
fabulous
grant.
Some
glad
that
we're
doing
that
I
also
really
appreciated
that
one
of
the
the
only
thing
I
think
the
new
chief
really
wanted
in
the
budget
for
this
year
was
those
eight
eight
positions.
F
G
Yang
Thank
You
mr.
chair
I
have
a
question
about
I,
didn't
see
and
I
guess.
You
know:
I
realized
that
Lake
Street
is
new
to
this,
and
so
it's
getting
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
but
I'm
looking
at
this
and
Penn
Avenue
is
new
to
this
and
it's
getting
only
fifty
thousand
dollars
and
then
the
other
two
specific
communities,
Broadway
and
little
earth
are,
you
know,
reduced.
D
You
mr.
chair
so
I,
this
proposal
maintained
the
funding
that
I
understood
was
proposed
in
the
original
budget.
I,
don't
actually
know
why
the
original
amounts
were
landed
on.
We
customer
frien
I,
just
circled
back
with
all
of
the
council
members
whose
wards
were
impacted
to
do
our
best
to
see
if
we
could
maintain
as
much
of
the
funding
as
possible.
That
had
been
proposed
and
then
add
this
amount
for
Penn,
Avenue
and
so
I
could
defer
to
the
council
members
from
the
wards.
C
C
Pleasant
intervention
of
the
federal
government
to
be
able
to
help
us
address
violent
crime.
The
ten
police
officers
are
specifically
targeted
and
our
Police
Department
did
a
good
job.
Writing
the
grant
request
for
addressing
violent
crime-
and
this
is
a
you
know,
just
a
huge
challenge
for
some
communities
in
this
city
and
I
think
the
ability
to
be
able
to
find
that
match
just
makes
so
much
sense.
So
I
appreciate
everybody's
work
on
this
I
think
you
know
the
the
addition
of
Penn
Avenue.
C
We
had
a
really
moving
experience
with
a
group
of
young
people
and
their
principal
who
came
to
talk
about
the
shooting
on
the
playground
at
Lucy
crafts
Laney
school.
This
is
and
then
a
mom
who
talked
about
three
times.
She
lives
on
36th
and
Oliver
three
times
and
her
experience
in
a
short
term,
a
short
time
living
in
the
home
she's
living
in
now,
she's
had
three
three
shootings
happened
in
near
near
her
home.
It's
a
hot
zone.
C
The
police
have
defined
it
as
a
hot
zone,
so
I'm
appreciative
of
people's
willingness
to
look
at
allocating
some
of
these
collaborative
Public
Safety
strategy
dollars
for
the
Penn
Avenue
project.
I
also
would
just
like
to
point
out.
You
know
this,
this
shooting
that
happened
at
the
school
about
a
week
and
a
half
before
that
there
was
a
similar
situation
at
Nellie,
stone,
Johnson
school
on
26th.
C
Then
it's
on
26th
and
Aldridge
North
same
thing:
children
on
the
playground
had
to
dive
for
cover
because
people
are
shooting
at
each
other
from
the
alley
and
26th
Avenue
north,
and
that
didn't
make
the
news
either.
It's
I
mean
it's
just
stunning
think
about
what
what
would
happen
if
that
would
have
been
Kenwood
school
or
Lake
Harriet
Community
School.
Do
you
think
that
that
be
on
the
news?
I
bet
it
would
be.
C
So
this
is
really
a
chance
I
think
to
take
advantage
of
the
federal
government's
prioritizing
violent
crime
gun
crime,
as
as
a
issue
to
be
dealt
with.
Our
city
has
has
had
an
initiative
over
the
years
of
looking
at
this
as
a
public
health
issue,
which
it
absolutely
is,
and
this
further
complements
the
work
that
we're
doing,
which
is
going
to
need
to
be
and
and
has
been,
but
needs
to
continue
as
a
work
that
is
done
by
the
community,
but
then
also
in
conjunction
with
our
Police
Department.
C
H
You
know
these:
these
are
a
series
of
amendments
here
come
out
to
the
content.
Well,
the
original
originally
proposed
$100,000
in
ongoing
funding
for
the
collaborative
safety
strategies
program
and
that
there
is
still
$75,000
for
admin
fees
for
the
$200,000
for
East
Lake
Street
for
the
collaborative
safety
strategies
program.
H
B
B
The
administrative
fees
were
not
called
out
explicitly
in
the
mayor's
budget
proposal.
I
know
that
an
amount
had
been
discussed
outside
of
the
document.
That
continues
to
be
the
case
here,
so
the
the
monies
that
are
listed
can
be
used
for
administrative
or
programmatic
function.
So
that's
it's
not
called
out,
but
it
also
doesn't
mean
to
me.
H
B
Mr.
chair
councilmember
Cano,
let
me
try
and
answer
it
a
little
bit
different
way
so
in
in
this
amendment,
what
this
is
doing
is
taking
the
400
and
the
four
hundred
and
seventy-five
thousand
dollars
and
one-time
monies
for
collaborative
safety
strategies,
of
which
my
understanding
is.
Seventy
five
thousand
were
to
be
used
for
administrative
purpose.
B
H
B
H
Then
out
of
the
475
that
were
originally
slated
for
collaborative
safety
strategies,
350
is
being
used
and
what's
happening
to
the
other
125.
If
you
could
just
please
clarify
for
me
I'm
trying
to
this
is
the
first
time
I
read
this
amendment
so
I'm,
sorry
I'm,
just
trying
to
understand
all
the
implications
that
are
being
presented
here.
Mr.
B
J
D
You
mr.
chair
I
just
wanted
to
thank
all
the
council
members
who
helped
put
this
together.
I'm
I
feel
really
comfortable
with
this
as
a
balanced
approach
to
public
safety
and
violence
prevention
in
our
community
and
really
thankful
to
be
able
to
work
with
councilmember
fried
to
bring
forward
something
that
found
a
significant
amount
of
money
for
this
federal
matching
grant
to
allow
us
to
hire
more
officers
but
also
preserved
and
even
increased
money
for
violence
prevention
and
community
safety
strategies.
Thanks
thank.
A
K
K
This
is
eliminating
two
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
from
the
increase,
above
and
beyond
what
meat
Minneapolis
was
already
receiving
to
put
into
public
safety
efforts
downtown
specifically
in
the
Nicolette
area,
as
we
did
last
year,
I'll
note
that
this
will
still
leave
over
$400,000
above
and
beyond
the
base.
Budget
of
Minneapolis
250
are
ready,
contracted
for
the
x-games
and
another
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
for
customers
at
the
convention
center
improved
experience,
but
it
does
take
the
money
that
was
allocated
for
a
new
website
and
puts
it
into
public
safety
strategies.
Downtown
I
will
note.
K
We
did
eliminate
the
public
safety
strategies
through
the
collaborative
policing
model
in
the
last
action,
so
this
is
essentially
using
a
different
program.
It's
been
my
experience
in
the
Loring
Park
neighborhood
that
asking
neighborhoods
to
apply
for
grants
for
projects
and
then
pay
to
administer
those
grants.
Isn't
the
best
way
to
do
something.
K
That's
already
happening
in
Loring
Park
there's
been
a
collaboration
amongst
40
different
stakeholders,
including
probation
Hennepin,
County
Courts,
Minneapolis,
police,
Minneapolis,
City,
Attorney's
Office,
citizens
for
Loring,
Park
neighborhood,
the
Loring
Business
Association,
Friends
of
Loring,
Park
and
others
in
order
to
address
the
six
shootings
on
the
corner
of
15th
and
Nicollet.
This
would
continue
along
the
lines
with
that
work
in
partnership
with
the
D
ID.
So
it
doesn't
take
money
from
the
community
safety
strategies.
It
is
taking
money
from
one
downtown
source
meet
Minneapolis
and
putting
it
into
a
public
safety
source.
C
A
Thank
you
very
much
additional
questions
on
this
item.
All
those
in
favor
of
item
number
three,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
aye.
Thank
you.
That
item
passes
item
number
fours
next,
if
I'm
correct
in
this,
it's
also
a
councilmember
Goodman
amendment.
This
is
on
housing,
inspection
services,
councilmember
Goodman,
Thank,.
K
K
A
D
You
mr.
chair
I'm,
really
supportive
of
this
approach,
like
customer
Goodman
I
have
huge
number
of
renters
in
my
ward,
and
one
of
the
things
that
we
hear
so
strongly
from
renters
advocates
is
that
we
haven't
been
able
to
properly
inspect
and
make
sure
that
folks
are
living
in
good,
safe,
healthy
conditions
and
their
homes,
and
so
I
really
appreciate
this
approach.
Part
of
what
councillor
Goodman
talked
about
when
she
and
I
spoke
about
this
was
the
need
to
have
folks
who
are
able
to
build
trust
with
renters
over
time.
D
C
You
mr.
Sharon
and
I'm
going
to
be
supporting
this
motion.
I
think
the
dollars
that
we
spend
on
inspections.
Housing
inspections
are
some
of
the
best
dollars
we
spend
in
our
city.
I
do
think,
as
my
colleagues
have
remarked,
that
people
can
get
a
little
fearful,
and
so
the
time
that
is
spent
in
educating
people
about
the
positive
aspects
of
housing
inspections
is
really
really
important.
But
it
is
a
huge
part
of
the
challenges
that
we
that
we
have
as
a
city
in
you
know,
maintaining
our
housing
stock,
our
apartment,
multi-family
housing
stock
is
essential.
E
F
Thank
you
so
I've
got
some
reservations
and
concerns.
I
think
this
is
a
difficult
trade-off
for
me.
I.
Definitely
supporting
housing
inspectors.
I
think
that
we
need
more
so
I
like
that
feature
of
this
I'm
concerned
about
where
the
funding
source
is
coming
from.
I
may
support
this,
but
then
also
be
interested
in
looking
at
how
maybe
we
can
fill
some
of
those
holes.
I
think
the
ongoing
funding
for
the
collaborative
safety
strategies
made
a
lot
of
sense.
I
supported
that
and
I
think.
F
I
think
I
want
to
support
this,
because
I
also
am
supportive
and
I've
heard
that
people
asking
for
more
housing
inspection,
especially
in
some
of
the
multi-family
dwelling
units,
and
we
have
to
do
more
so
support
this.
But
I
would
like
us
to
think
about.
Are
there
other
ways
that
we
can
maybe
come
back
and
look
again
to
get
some
funding
before
the
budget
is
over
to
support
some
of
those
ongoing
initiatives
that
came
out
of
those
on
collaboratives?
Maybe
before
the
final
budget
is
approved,
Thank
You.
L
Thanks
boy,
a
lot
of
comments
on
this,
which
I
think
just
goes
to
show
a
lot
of
people
are
very
concerned
about
the
housing
work
and
entering
into
it
from
different
perspectives
from
stories
that
they're
hearing
from
people,
I
will
say:
I
agree
with
Councilman
Gore,
and
these
are
always.
These
are
difficult
choices,
and
you
know,
and
but
I
support.
This
motion
and
I
also
want
to
make
the
point
that,
even
though
it's
a
different
way
to
go
at
safety
issues,
this
is
also
about
safety.
This
is
about
safety
and
it's
about
health.
L
It's
making
sure
people
have
safe
spaces
to
live.
The
other
thing
I'll
just
say
is
that,
having
that
good
foundation
of
inspectors,
a
better
foundation
that
is
better
able
to
communicate
with
property
owners
and
residents
and
build
those
relationships,
also
is
a
balance
to
other
work.
That
I
know
that
we
are
trying
to
add
staff
to
help
support.
L
We
have
this
housing
I
forget
the
exact
title,
but
the
housing
protection
staff
that
is
also
being
added
and
I
just
say
this,
because
one
of
the
biggest
things
that
I
have
been
hearing
from
individuals
and
organizations
I've
been
communicating
with
is
about
retaliation
for
making
complaints
or
using
threat
of
retaliation
to
tenants
for
making
complaints
about.
In
fact,
inspections
I've
also
heard
this
very
specifically
from
people
who
are
an
immigrant
and
refugee
communities
about
how
their
lives
are
being
threatened
with
if
they
speak
up
about
the
need
for
safe
spaces
in
their
housing.
L
D
D
So
the
amount
of
money
is
the
same.
It
has
shifted,
however,
from
ongoing
to
one
time
and
I
could
speak
to
that.
Just
briefly,
I
think
you
know
if
the
program
continues
to
be
successful.
I
would
certainly
be
open
to
an
ongoing
program
in
the
future,
because
we
were
balancing
so
many
different
things
and
trying
to
find
this
matching
fund
now,
which
had
to
be
ongoing
funds.
It
constrained
a
bit
some
of
the
other
ongoing
fund
options
and
we
are
also
moving
it
from
the
mayor's
office
into
NCR
for
the
first
time.
D
So
in
a
sense,
it's
really
being
redesigned
for
the
first
time
as
a
new
program
administered
in
a
different
way.
So
it
felt
comfortable
to
me
and
I
think
others
to
have
it
in
the
one-time
fund
this
year
with
at
least
speaking
for
myself
very
open
to
making
it
an
ongoing
program
in
the
future.
As
we
see
the
results
that
are
coming
out
from
this
new
newly
designed
program,
Hausman
and
CR,
instead
of
in
in
the
mayor's
office,.
K
You
mr.
chair
and
Thank
You
councilmember
bender
I
also
want
to
point
out
that
it's
important
to
have
the
inspectors
be
ongoing
funding.
It's
going
to
take
time
to
onboard
folks,
get
some
very
high
quality
training,
probably
both
in
language
and
cultural
issues
and
then
get
them
out
on
the
streets
that
could
take
half
the
year
and
so
I'm
worried
that
we
spend
a
lot
of
money
to
train
people
to
do
this
job.
And
then
that's
one-time
funding
and
we
have
the
same
problem
so
and
I
was
advised
about
that
by
councilmember
bender
as
well.
K
F
A
Additional
comments
on
item
number:
four,
not
seeing
any
all
those
in
favor
of
the
councilmember
Goodman
item
number
four,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
opposed.
That
item
carries
we're
now
to
item
number
five,
which
is
councilmember
Palmisano
amendment
related
to
body
camera
data,
specialist-
that's
been
the
palmesano.
Could
you
introduce
that
for
us
Thank.
M
M
This
is
in
conversation
with
chief
Arredondo
in
terms
of
feeling,
as
though
these
positions
are
absolutely
integral
to
a
working
body
camera
program
in
the
difficult
challenge
of
where
to
find
money
in
the
budget
and
move
things
around
in
conversation
with
colleagues
it
was,
it
was
suggested
to
take
them
from
this
appropriation
already
in
the
police
budget.
So
I'm
happy
to
answer
questions,
but
that's
just
the
brief
of
it.
Thank.
A
F
Thank
You
mr.
chair,
this
is
a
amendment
to
support
ongoing
support
for
senior
serve
says
the
neighborhood
community
relations
department
was
actually
recommending
$60,000
for
this
item.
In
the
mayor's
proposal.
She
only
funded
it
up
to
20,000
and
also
in
the
neighborhood
community
relations
department.
There
they
hadn't
requested
money
for
the
collaborative
safety
strategies,
but
they
received
four
hundred
and
seventy
five
thousand.
F
So
this
amendment
was
intended
to
move
a
small
portion
of
that
four
hundred
and
seventy
five
thousand
dollars
from
the
collaborative
safety
strategies
to
senior
support
services
so
that
we
could
do
more
with
that
I
think
we
heard
a
lot
about
that
at
the
public
hearing.
I
think
the
growing
population
of
seniors
in
the
city
is
something
for
us
to
think
about,
and
these
programs
actually
allow
seniors
to
stay
in
their
homes
longer
and
in
the
neighborhoods
and
in
the
communities,
and
do
an
enormous
amount
of
work
for
us.
Thank.
N
You
mr.
chair
I
wanted
to
thank
you
in
particular
as
well
for
your
help
with
this
I
know,
it's
an
important
program
to
you
and
I
wanted
to
recognize
and
acknowledge
that,
and
thank
all
of
the
individuals
that
came
out
the
other
night
to
talk
about
this
very
important
work,
that's
being
done
that
helps
countless
seniors
across
our
community.
Thank.
A
You
very
much
for
that
comment.
I
appreciate
the
work
as
it
does
help
us
continue
our
us
Minneapolis
for
a
lifetime
initiative
by
supporting
that
work.
So
we
appreciate
the
comments
from
Council
members
and
the
work
on
the
staff,
as
well
as
the
public
who
came
and
joined
us
at
the
public
hearing
that
really
made
that
a
reality.
So
thank
you
for
that.
Any
additional
questions
on
item
amendment
number:
six,
not
seeing
any
all
those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
opposed.
That
item
carries
Thank
You,
councilmember,
paula
Misano.
A
M
Thank
You
mr.
chair,
this
item
is
one
that
we've
been
working
with
the
City
Attorney's
Office
in
councilmember
Glidden,
to
find
some
one-time
money
for
housing
that
the
link
purchased
and
it
currently
is
an
operation
and
it
houses
victim
youth
victims.
It
was
a
little
bit
of
it
was
an
RFP
process
and
there
was
confusion
earlier
over
to
whether
this
was
a
one-time
appropriation
or
a
multi-year
appropriation.
So
this
amount
of
money
keeps
this
new
housing
open
and
serving
people
and
gives
one
year
for
the
link
to
find
other
kinds
of
funding.
L
Mr.
chair
I
want
to
thank
councilmember
Colm
Asano
for
helping
find
a
solution
here,
and
we
had
been
in
conversation
about
this
being
important.
I
will
just
say:
we've
also
heard
from
city
staff
just
about
the
importance
of
Ana,
allowing
this
work
to
continue
and
give
them
this
time.
Especially
noting
can
all
the
big,
significant
events
happening
this
year
so
I'm
very
supportive
and
thank
her
for
putting
this
together.
A
L
You
mr.
chair,
this
amendment
is
addressing
resources
needed
in
the
labor
standards
enforcement
division,
which
is
housed
in
civil
rights.
This
was
a
new
division
that
was
established
when
we
first
passed
the
significant
ordinance,
which
was
the
applying
citywide,
which
was
the
safe
and
sick
time
ordinance
since
the
the
time
that
and
I
know
a
budget
kind
of
as
a
very
long
development
process,
but
kind
of
in
that
timeline
as
a
budget
was
kind
of
getting
developed
and
finalized.
L
L
I
think
that's
going
to
be
critical
to
their
ability
to
do
the
work,
which
is
you
know
that
that
we
have
supported
unanimously
or
almost
unanimously.
Excuse
me
I'm,
sorry
about
that,
too,
to
implement
a
municipal
minimum
wage
ordinance.
This
is
work
that
is
both
about
enforcement,
but
primarily
right
now
about
education
and
setting
that
foundation.
L
The
second
part
of
the
amendment
would
ensure
that
there
is
some
funds
for
community
contracts
which
are
there
to
supplement
the
work
of
the
department
as
it
directs,
but
essentially
again
it's
about
amplifying
their
work,
around
education
and
whatever
else
that
they
would
want
to
direct
with
those
service
contracts
and
I
know
that
they
started
that
work
this
past
year,
so
I
would
go
ahead
and
move
both
of
these
items
and
ask
for
your
support.
Thank
you.
L
A
L
The
department
has
been
doing
significant
work
with
the
mapping
prejudice
project,
which
is
spearheaded
by
Professor
and
staff
through
Augsburg
College,
and
it
it
is
work
that
also
is
critical
to
the
cities
of
the
to
do
its
own
work,
specifically
in
long-range
planning,
which
has
already
been
doing
significant
partnership
work
with
a
mapping
prejudice
project,
but
also
within
our
housing
division.
So,
in
conversations
with
mr.
L
Frank,
we
have
talked
about
designating
up
to
it's
an
up
to
amount,
so
the
department
is
right
now
in
conversations
with
Matthew
prejudice
again
about
how
it
might
utilize
some
contracts
that
enhance
the
ability
of
the
city
to
do
its
work
through
the
support
of
the
information
being
put
together
by
the
mapping
prejudice
project.
So
so
that's
that
thank.
A
L
A
C
You
mr.
chair,
this
is
amending
mayor's
budget
for
a
hundred
and
three
thousand
dollars
of
fund
balance
fund
in
this
fund.
Balance
is
coming
from
an
original
appropriation
called
rebuild
our
communities
and
it
actually
was
dollars
that
were
allocated
or
were
potentially
allocated
to
neighborhood
associations
to
deal
with
tornado
outcomes,
tornado
challenges
that
resulted-
and,
of
course
the
tornado
was
a
number
of
years
ago.
So
we
have
moved
on
beyond
that
are
doing
great
work,
but
this
this
is
essentially
taking
those
dollars
that
are
unspent
dollars
and
moving
them
to
CPD
for
contract.
C
With
summit
Academy,
oh
I,
see
who
has
developed
a
culinary
arts
initiative
is
developing
a
culinary
arts
initiative
and
that
will
complement
the
work
that
they
are
doing,
which
we
were
some
of
the
original
funders
of
in
the
ability
to
take
people
who
lack
a
GED
and
get
them
their
GED,
while
they
are
going
through
either
their
their
health
care
program
or
the
construction
program.
This
as
the
culinary
arts
program
to
the
kind
of
training
that
people
can
receive
through
this
program
and
again
in
conjunction
with
getting
their
GED.
C
We
we
were
some
of
the
first
money
in
particularly
in
the
in
the
GED
program
and
actually
they've
been
able
able
to
garner
much
financial
private
support
to
the
tune
of
several
million
dollars
to
train
people
in
these
areas,
where
there
is
a
very
much
a
need
for
employees
to
go
right
into
these
professions
and
it's
a
great
tool
to
address
some
of
our
unemployment
disparities.
So
I'm
going
to
move
this,
it's
it's
again
unspent
dollars
from
an
existing
fun.
Thank.
A
A
The
yeah
we'll
get
into
that
one.
Second,
that
concludes
the
the
packet
of
the
prepared
ten
amendments
that
were
brought
forward
as
part
of
the
package.
It's
now
appropriate
for
additional
comments,
amendments
to
be
brought
forward
by
members
and
the
first
that
I
have
in
queue
is
council,
member,
Johnson,
Thank.
N
You
mr.
chair
I'm,
bringing
forward
an
amendment
with
councilmember
Gordon
that
would,
on
a
one-time
basis,
increase
the
appropriation
to
fund
a
temporary
LED
inspector.
It's
my
understanding
that
this
is
an
existing
position
and,
if
not
funded,
we'll
lose
our
existing
staffer.
Who
is
doing
this
work
in
frankly,
is
helping
out
dozens
of
children
who
suffer
from
lead
poisoning
across
our
city.
N
L
L
A
A
E
E
E
A
So,
procedurally,
what
I'd
like
to
make
sure
is
that
what
we're
looking
at
right
now
is
a
proposed
amendment
for
council
member
Johnson
Gordon
on
for
the
lead
inspector
and
we're
looking
at
a
piece
of
the
document
is
amendment
that
we're
going
to
be
taking
up
is
councilmember
fry,
which
has
two
items
on
it:
label
a
and
B.
If
everybody
has
that
in
front
of
them,
I'll
recognize
councilmember
fry.
If
you
could
help
clarify
that
for
us
now
that
the
papers
in
front
of
us.
E
E
E
This
is
the
key
part
increasing
the
appropriation
to
the
City
Attorney
on
a
one-time
basis
from
25,000
75,000
for
the
pre-charge
review,
pre-charged
diversion
programs,
so
I
think
this
ultimately
accomplishes
the
goal
in
terms
of
Elections
oftentimes.
The
the
money
is
is
a
paid
after
the
fact,
depending
on
how
much
is
needed,
and
that
would
likely
be
the
case
once
again,
following
the
2018
gubernatorial
elections.
A
F
F
N
J
Chair
just
for
clarification
purposes,
if
the
intent
of
the
motion
from
councilmember
fry
paragraph
a
is
to
replace
and
substitute
in
whole
the
motion
offered
as
an
amendment
by
Andrew,
Johnson
and
Gordon.
Procedurally,
if
that
is
what's
intended,
it
would
be
better
for
the
Johnson
Gordon
amendment
be
withdrawn
and
take
up
action
on
fry.
So
it's
very
clear
on
what
the
sources
of
funds
are
and
what's
being
proposed
to
be
done.
J
Otherwise,
the
action
you're
taking
is
to
take
up
two
motions
offered
by
fry,
one
of
which
procedurally
would
substitute
the
motion
offered
by
Johnson
and
Gordon,
and
when
we
return
to
vote
on
Johnson
and
Gordon
as
a
substitute,
it
would
be
the
fry
motion
to
begin
with
anyways.
So,
if
the,
if
the
clarification
is
that
the
fry
motion
replaces
the
funding
proposed
related
to
the
piece
here
by
Johnson
and
Gordon
in
hole,
then
I
would
suggest
that
you
remove
or
withdraw
the
Johnson
Gordon
amendment
and
proceed
to
fries.
N
E
A
A
L
L
The
blood
work
is
is
really
important
and
part
of
what's
happening.
Right
now
is
nationally.
You
know
you
used
to
be
able
to
get
significant
grants
to
do
this
work.
We
have
been
very
successful
because
we
have
amazing
staff
who
do
use
those
funding
sources
well,
who
have
been
very
successful
and
just
those
opportunities
are
not
as
prevalent
right
now
and-
and
so
this
is
kind
of
like
the
the
atmosphere
so
anyway,
I
know
all
this.
All
this
stuff
is
is
difficult.
L
I
will
say
just
because
we're
talking
about
the
FRA
amendment
I
do
not
support
taking
the
funding
source
this.
This
new
idea
of
reviewing
of
reducing
the
pre-filing
charge,
review
team
program
from
$200,000
to
$100,000
and
and
essentially
what
that
means
I
believe
and
they
you
know,
we
don't
always
have
staff
here
to
answer
questions,
but
mister
Nelson
is
here
I'm,
assuming
that
he
is
familiar
with
the
program
and
know
what
this
budget
item
would
be.
L
But
you
know
if
you
having
an
ongoing
funding,
means
that
you
kind
of
staff
up
and
to
do
a
certain
amount
of
work,
and
if
you
don't
have
that
and
you
have
a
little
bit's
at
one
time,
you
you
go
about
the
work
very
differently,
and
so
that's
just
just
the
fact
of
it.
I
will
tell
you
I
think
this
is
the
most
significant
criminal
justice
reform
work
that
the
city
is
doing
is
putting
resources
and
to
how
to
review
charges
prior
to
filing
the
charge.
L
Documents
and
reviewing
the
evidence
before
a
charge
is
filed
and,
of
course,
once
a
turd
is
filed.
Then
you
got
a
bunch
of
process
after
that,
but
in
today's
world,
even
having
that
charge
on
your
record,
follows
you
forever.
It
follows
you
forever
so
for
us
to,
and
you
know
so,
you
file
a
charge.
Often
charges
are
dropped
or
they
identify.
They
didn't
really
meet
their
the
the
elements
of
the
crime
or
what?
Whatever
are
the
the
things
that
come
about?
L
There
are
so
many
things
that
can
come
about
that
kind
of
say:
you
know
what
they
file
the
charge,
but
really
we.
This
is
not
the
kind
of
case
we
want
to
pursue
for
whatever
reason
and
that's
not
say
anything
bad
about
the
police
officer
in
the
first
place.
It's
that
that
person
is
doing
their
professional
job,
but
then
we
need
a
better
eyes
to
review.
L
Existing
ways
of
doing
business,
so
we
better
serve
the
public
and
and
it's
not
about
stepping
away
from
publics,
but
it's
making
sure
when
we
are
filing
charges.
We
feel
confident.
This
is
the
right
thing
to
do
so
so
anyway,
I
am
very
concerned
about
using
this
as
a
source
and
again
we
get.
We
got
time.
We
got
like
the
whole
day,
which
I
will
say.
Probably
nobody
wants
to
say
whole
day,
but
we
have
the
whole
day.
We
can
take
time.
We
can
look
for.
L
E
Ouch,
that
was
to
clarify,
if
mr.
chair,
if
it's
alright,
if
I
can
speak
real,
quick
and
ahead,
and
so
we
don't
go
down
the
wrong
path
here.
So
the
the
the
the
intention
was
not
not
to
reduce
the
amount
of
money
that
is
for
the
pre-filing
charge
review
so
on
this.
It
reduces
it
by
100,000,
but
then
it
increases
it
by
50,000
in
the
following
paragraph
on
be.
E
L
If
I
could
just
have
Mr
in
term
ill,
clarify
I,
mean
and
and
I
understand
that
you're
correcting
what
might
be
some
of
the
language
in
here.
But
what
I'm
still
hearing
is
that
we
had
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
ongoing
funding
and
we
would
replace
that
for
this.
The
pre-charge
review
team
with
a
hundred
thousand
and
ongoing
and
a
hundred
thousand
in
one
time.
L
Are
still
out
there,
which
is
that
it's
a
very
different
program,
you
design,
when
you
have
one-time
funds
as
opposed
to
what
you
do
when
you
have
ongoing
funds,
which
is
about
whether
you
are
confident
enough
to
hire
staff,
how
you
go
about
creating
a
permanency
to
to
a
program
in
the
scope
program.
Mister.
B
Chair
council,
vice-president
and
others
to
the
staffing
question
in
particular,
I
did
want
to
raise
the
issue
that
the
in
in
the
mayor's
proposed
budget,
the
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
is
for
two
FTE
ongoing
and
so
in
replacing
one
hundred
thousand
dollars
of
ongoing
funds
with
one
hundred
thousand
dollars
of
one-time
funds.
I
would
strongly
recommend.
We
also
reduce
one
FTE
so
that
there's
not
so
that
we're
not
out
of
structural
balance.
E
For
the
conversation,
so
as
councilmember
Glidden
properly
pointed
out,
the
lead
inspectors
have
been
funded
on
a
one-time
basis
for
the
last
three
years.
So
it's
not
like.
We
can't
have
FTEs
that
are
funded
on
a
one-time
basis.
You
just
need
to
continuously
react
if
that's
not
the
case,
I'm
happy
to
change
what.
So,
what
is
the
structural
change
that
you're
looking
for
to
make
it
sound?
So.
B
Mr.
chair
councilmember
fry
the
the
lead
inspectors
issue
there
there
is
an
FTE
in
the
health
department's
complement
that
they
can
use
and
that's
why
we
don't
need
to
add
an
FTE
when
we're
adding
those
ongoing
funds.
It's
the
City
Attorney's
department
when
we're
adding
two
full
FTE
to
their
complement
when
we
go
to
set
the
base
for
the
next
year
under
the
current
service
level.
B
If
we
were
to
leave
these
two
FTE
in
then,
though,
the
the
one-time
funding
source
would
go
away,
we
would
be
adding
and
picking
that
up
in
their
base,
and
so
that's
where
the
structural
balance
comes
in
is
on
the
books
right
now
on
the
books.
Following
the
amendment,
we
would
be
showing
that
there
would
not
be
that
additional
funding
coming
in
because
the
one-time
item,
but
in
reality
that
one-time
funding
would
pick
up-
and
so
that's
where
we
would
be
out
of
that
structural
balance.
B
B
In
in
the
way
that
we
compile
our
budget
and
off
of
our
current
service
level
through
the
financial
policies,
is
that
we,
when
we
go
to
set
each
departments
target,
we
look
at
the
number
of
FTE
in
their
complement
and
so
based
on
that
we
apply
assumptions
around
how
much
each
ftu
will
cost,
and
so
that
is
made
is
paid
for
by
subtracting
the
previous
year's
salaries.
And
so
if
we
were
to
put
one-time
salaries
in
it
or
one-time
monies
in
and
without
accounting.
For
that
ongoing,
we
would
run
out
of
structural
balance.
I.
A
H
D
A
Okay,
all
right!
Well,
let's,
let's
it's
not
a
party
motion
in
front
of
us!
That's
a
good
question,
but
the
council
member
fries
withdrawing
his
entire
amendment
as
I.
Understand
it
yet
correct.
So
we
returned
to
the
council
member
Johnson's
conversation
he's
he's
showing
up
on
our
speaker.
Management
is
lasting
few
on
the
original
amendment,
the
Frey
amendment
column
is
empty
council
member
Johnson.
Mr.
N
And
I
just
would
speak
to
this
motion.
I
know
that
a
number
of
my
colleagues
support
the
greater
MSP
funding
and
I
respect
where
they're
coming
from
on
that
I
understand
that
the
organization
does
do
valuable
work
for
the
city
of
Minneapolis.
I
also
want
to
acknowledge
that
after
co-authoring
cuts
last
year
with
a
colleague
on
this
I'm
multiple
times
publicly
stated:
hey
greater
MSP,
please
reach
out
and
explain
what
value
are
providing
for
this
and
I
haven't
heard
anything
from
them.
N
Yet
they've
had
an
entire
year
of
opportunities
to
do
that
and
meanwhile,
after
those
cuts,
I've
received
a
number
of
emails
from
individuals.
Who've
worked
specifically
with
greater
MSP,
raising
concerns
around
how
they
use
their
money
and
I
want
to
be
able
to
address
those
concerns
with
greater
MSB
and
have
a
sit-down
with
them.
N
So
here's
another
opportunity,
I'm,
saying
it
again
publicly
and
as
I
have
been
saying
it
for
a
year,
please
greater
MSB
sit
down
with
me
to
explain
what
this
money
is
used
for,
what
value
or
who
are
getting
from
it
and
I
have
other
serious
concerns
with
the
organization.
I'm
glad
that
we
were
able
to
provide
for
our
knees
on
a
contractual
basis
as
the
city
and
look
forward
to
finding
out
more
of
how
this
funding
is
used
and
and
what
value
is
provided
by
it.
But
in
the
meantime,
I
tapped.
N
This
is
a
source,
because
we've
got
this
really
important
work
going
on.
We've
got
dozens
of
kids
they're
suffering
from
lead
poisoning.
This
will
allow
us
to
continue
that
work
and
will
prevent
an
existing
employee,
doing
excellent
work
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis
from
having
to
be
let
go
because
of
funding.
So
I
would
ask
my
colleagues
to
support
this
and
then
I'm
happy
to
work
with
any
of
my
colleagues
that
want
to
find
funding
for
Greater
MSP.
K
You
mr.
chair
I
was
the
co-author
of
the
effort
last
year
to
strike
money
from
Greater
MSP,
because
I
felt
that
they
weren't
doing
anything
to
benefit
the
city,
economic
development
efforts
and
in
the
year
that
they've
had
to
show
us
what
they
were
doing
in
order
to
advance
regional
economic
development.
I
feel
that
they've
made
their
case.
We
have
a
1.5
plus
or
minus
billion
dollar
budget.
K
In
the
city,
we
are
a
partner
with
a
lot
of
other
cities
and
counties
around
the
state,
whether
you
agreed
or
not,
they
coordinated
all
of
the
efforts
surrounding
the
Amazon
bid.
They
coordinated
all
the
efforts
surrounding
the
publicity
surrounding
the
Amazon
bid,
which,
in
and
of
itself
probably
bought
us
million-dollar
millions
of
dollars
of
free
publicity
for
our
state
and
for
our
region.
I
am
no
fan
of
corporate
welfare.
K
I
have
a
long
track
record
on
these
issues,
but
I
believe
they
have
followed
through
councilmember,
Frey
and
others
could
speak
to
the
innovative
workforce
development
work,
they're
doing,
which
is
also
consistent
with
the
workforce.
Development
work,
we're
doing
to
recruit
younger
Millennials
into
our
workforce
at
the
city
and
they're.
K
Doing
that
around
the
region,
in
addition
to
that
they're
assisting
with
marketing
the
upper
harbour
terminal,
which
we
are
currently
working
towards
redeveloping
and
have
indicated
an
interest
in
working
with
us
on
the
Kmart
at
Lake
Street
project,
they
have
added
value
more
than
what
the
ten
thousand
dollars
we
gave
them
last
year
and
I
don't
believe
at
this
time.
We
need
to
take
another
pound
of
flesh
out
of
them.
K
If
we
want
to
have
a
conversation
about
eliminating
our
partnership
with
Greater
MSP,
then
let's
do
with
that
from
a
policy
point
of
view
rather
than
a
budget
point
of
view.
I
do
not
think
this
is
the
right
way
to
do
this,
and
attempting
to
compare
economic
development
to
lead
in
children
is
somewhat
bothersome.
C
The
Amazon
bid
is
just
exactly
one
one
example
also
of
their
value
in
again
raising
the
profile
of
this
community,
raising
the
profile
of
the
educated,
wonderful
workforce
that
we
have,
and
you
know,
moving
forward
as
a
region
that
has
its
challenges.
I
mean
where
were
the
northernmost
region
in
the
United
States
of
America
the
it.
C
This
is
not
a
place
that
comes
to
people's
minds
when
they're
talking
about
major
innovation,
so
I
think
I'm
satisfied
that
they're
that
they
we
got
their
attention
that
they're
assisting
us
in
some
of
the
the
highest
potential
developments
that
we
have
right
now
with
the
upper
harbor
with
Lake,
Street
and
I.
Think
their
expertise
is
of
value
to
us.
Thank.
D
You
mr.
chair
I
was
looking
as
others
were
talking
but
and
I
knew.
You
were
working
on
this
council
member
Johnson
and
I.
Just
didn't
get
a
chance
to
follow
up
with
health.
I
just
wondered
I
would
like
more
information
about
the
need
related
to
health
inspection
for
lead,
I
know.
Initially,
when
the
guidelines
were
changed,
there
was
kind
of
a
bigger
backlog
of
kids
who
were
reading
the
threshold
with
a
newer
threshold
when
I
went
down
from
10
five
and
I.
D
Remember
the
presentations
about
that
in
committee,
but
I
just
wondered
if
there
is
available
now
more
information
about
the
volume
of
inspections
that
are
needed
and
the
backlog
and
it
and
then
I
also
felt
super
good
and
reminded
me
that
I
think
part
of
the
settlement
from
northern
metals
was
related
to
LED
inspection.
So
I
just
I
completely
agree
that
that
this
should
be
a
priority
for
our
health
department
and
for
our
city,
but
just
wanting
a
little
more
information
about
the
details
of
the
need
and
how
our
staffing
levels
are
now.
N
H
You
mr.
chair
I
will
be
voting
in
favor
of
this
amendment
today
and
I
just
wanted
to
explain
a
little
bit
about
why
I
have
also
never
been
approached
by
representatives
of
greater
MSP
to
provide
more
in-depth
understanding
about
the
interface
of
the
work
that
we
Emma
Council
do
and
the
budgeting
resources
we
send
them
in
connection
to,
for
example,
the
racial
equity
work
that
I
am
hoping
that
they're
tackling
through
a
variety
of
their
initiatives,
but
specifically
in
Ward
9.
You
know
a
lot
of
these.
H
A
lot
of
the
work
that
we
fund
as
an
enterprise
should
really
be
able
to
articulate
a
citywide
impact
and
approach,
and
that's
the
work
that
I've
been
leading
on
meet
Minneapolis
as
well.
A
lot
of
the
work
that
that
we
do
there
in
our
committee
always
tries
to
uplift
our
cultural
corridors
such
as
West
Broadway,
East,
Franklin,
East,
Lake,
Street,
Cedar
Riverside.
H
So,
for
me,
it's
it's
really
important
to
better
understand
where
a
greater
MSP
is
coming
from,
and
this
is
an
invitation
to
them
and
the
representatives
to
reach
out
to
our
offices
and-
and
let
us
know
more
about
what
this
work
entails.
On
the
other
hand,
the
Health
Department
did
do
a
good
job
of
going
around
and
briefed
council
members
about
their
needs.
H
The
high
level
of
exposure
of
lead
in
in
our
family's
lives
and
so
you'd
be
you'd,
be
shocked
at
the
at
the
level
of
the
the
poor
housing
quality
that
we
find
in
some
of
those
neighborhoods
that
are
embedded
in
racially
concentrated
areas
of
poverty
in
our
city
of
which
I
represent
and
so
I'm
happy
to
support
this
and
I
think
councilmembers,
Gordon
and
Andrew
Johnson
for
for
taking
this
on
and
for
letting
me
know
about
it.
God's.
F
Well,
I'm
supporting
this
too
I
think
that
the
concentrations
have
led
in
certain
parts
of
our
city
are
still
an
enormous
problem.
The
backlog
that
we're
trying
to
get
to
is
also
a
problem
for
a
long
time.
We
set
the
risk
level
so
a
lot
higher
and
we
realized
that
lead
poisoning
and
our
children
is
more
serious,
even
if
they're
at
lower
levels
and
so
in
the
state
with
us
asking
them
to
do
so,
adjusted
those
down
so
that
we
could
address
some
of
those
problems
and
lead
poisoning,
impacts,
school
performance,
it
impacts
later
behaviors.
F
F
This
is
a
very
serious
problem
in
our
city
and
it
happens
to
be
a
problem
that
impacts
people
living
closest
to
freeways
and
in
some
parts
of
our
city,
with
the
older
housing
stock,
more
than
others
I
think
we've
made
some
great
inroads
in
our
efforts,
but
it's
still
a
problem
that
we
have
to
deal
with
and
we
have
to
address
with
with
this
move
of
funds,
we're
still
more
than
doubling
what
we're
contributing
to
greater
MSP,
greater
MSP
I
think
has
a
very
large
budget.
We
can
be
a
partner
with
them.
F
E
A
couple
of
clarifications,
councilmember
Johnson's
amendment
does
not,
or
my
the
voting
against
this
is
not
a
cut
to
staff
council
member
rather
councilmember.
Johnson's
amendment
is
an
increase
to
the
number
of
staff
devoted
to
lead,
and
it's
a
it's
an
amendment
that,
for
the
purposes
of
of
lead,
I
think
everybody
is
for,
and
we
I
would
very
much
like
to
find
a
funding
source
I.
Don't
think
that
the
funding
source
should
come
from
greater
MSP.
Minneapolis
is
the
largest
city
in
the
region.
E
So
if
we
are
really
talking
about
the
necessity
of
retaining
people
of
color
in
our
economy
and
making
sure
that
there's
adequate
progress,
is
this
something
that
we
need
to
be
considering
not
just
for
purposes
of
Minneapolis,
but
for
a
regional
economy
as
a
whole?
And
it's
saying
it
sends
a
pretty
significant
message
that
for
the
second
year
in
a
row
we're
saying
we're
not
going
to
participate
in
the
regional
economy.
Mayor
mayor
hodges
believes
that
this
item
should
be
in
the
budget.
I
do
also
that
this
item
should
be
in
the
budget
as
well.
E
Last
year
you
know,
council,
member
Gordon
just
said
that
we
are
doubling
by
moving
it
to
25,000.
We
are
doubling
the
amount
of
money
we
spent
last
year,
but
he
negated
to
mention
that
we
first
cut
the
amount
by
over
a
hundred
thousand
hundred
thousand
dollars.
So
you
know
I.
This
is
I
think
this
is
an
important
issue.
I
guess
my
after
to
councilmember,
Andrew
Johnson
is
is
to
is
rather
than
moving
this
amendment.
N
N
The
funding
will
no
longer
be
there
to
pay
for
that
staff
member
and
so
that
this
motion
would
allow
the
existing
staff
member
to
continue
their
work
on
this
to
my
colleagues,
point
around
sunning
a
significant
message:
if
their
cuts,
if
this
cuts
is
in
place
a
second
year
in
a
row
to
greater
MSP
I,
would
say,
the
significant
message
to
Greater
MSP
is
come
on
down
to
City
Hall
and
talk
with
council
members
about
what
service
you
provide.
We're
not
going
to
lose
our
partnership
with
them.
N
We
continue
to
work
with
them
on
issues
on
a
pay-as-you-go
basis
and
contract
out
when
we
have
a
need-
and
this
is
an
organization
meant
to
sell
Minneapolis
and
they're,
not
in
my
opinion,
doing
a
great
job
selling
themselves.
So
I
have
a
little
bit
of
concern
over
the
job
that
they're
doing
on
behalf
of
us
and
I
know.
We've
got
a
lot
of
big
things
that
have
been
the
news:
Amazon,
the
Super,
Bowl
X
Games.
There's
a
lot
of
hype
around
that
stuff,
but
I
would
say.
Look
to
my
colleagues
points.
N
We
are
a
strong
City
in
a
strong
region.
We
have
these
natural
assets
in
place
and
that's
what's.
Selling
Minneapolis
is
the
assets,
the
people.
All
of
that
we
have
a
department,
see
pet
as
extremely
talented
staff.
That
is
already
collaborating
inter-governmental
e
with
other
organizations
and
and
I
think
here
we
have
an
opportunity
again,
greater
I
must
be
I
know
they
provide
value,
I'm,
not
saying
that
they
shouldn't
exist
as
an
organization.
I
do
think
they
have
more
work
to
do
and
the
message
we
would
be
sending
here
is
come
on
down.
N
Let's
have
you
work
more
in
partnership
with
us
and
explain
more
the
value
you
provide,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day,
what
we
would
be
funding
with
this
is
really
really
important.
Work.
That's
going
on
and
I
hope
that
we
vote
in
favor
of
this
today
provide
the
funding.
So
the
important
LED
work
can
continue
and
then
again,
greater
MSB
has
a
week
to
come
on
down,
explain
the
value.
L
L
We
have
and
then
and
then
come
back
and
do
that
after
the
lunch
hour.
I
also
see
that
miss
music
aunt
is
here
mr.
Hamlin's
here
so
for
people
who
had
more
like
a
factual
question.
If,
if
the
chair
desires
sounds
like,
we
could
have
one
of
those
two
certainly
come
up
and
reaffirm,
or
amplify
whatever.
Mr.
that
council
member
Johnson
has
described
about
kind
of.
F
A
O
And
it
had
been
our
assumption
as
well
that
when
we
lowered
the
threshold
at
which
we
are
intervening,
that
there
would
be
a
bump
in
the
caseload
and
then
we
could
catch
up,
which
is
why
we've
had
three
years
of
one-time
funding.
It's
not
playing
out
that
way.
It's
a
new
level
of
cases
that
we
need
the
staff
person
are
to
respond
to
and
the
northern
metal
settlement
is
related
to
lead
and
asthma.
But
it's
not
going
to
fund
a
position.
P
A
A
I
Mr.
chair
members
of
the
committee
I
think
there
are
cases
in
the
health
commissioner
I
just
pointed
out
where
there
are
bumps
in
use
and
there
might
be
temporary
use
of
FTEs.
But
it's
always
with
the
understanding
that
at
a
point
in
time
there
would
be
an
evaluation
as
to
whether
that
should
be
long
term.
I
So,
for
example,
we've
had
more
traffic
control
agents
downtown
because
of
the
increased
construction
and
that
department
has
come
in
presentations
to
say
this
is
the
last
year
and
if
we
find
it's
still
sustained,
then
we
need
to
go
to
full-time.
Can
ongoing
funding
and
I.
Think
the
same
is
the
case
here.
As
I
just
heard,
the
Commissioner
say
that
one-time
funding
going
forward
is
not
adequate
and
so
based
on
the
financial
policies
that
you've
adopted
both
previously
in
a
firm
this
morning
already
we
would
need
to
have
ongoing
funding
for
that
kind
of
program.
I
Just
on
the
comments
that
council
vice
president
Glidden
made
earlier,
which
is
it
changes
the
way
a
department
plans
for
the
future.
So
I
would
just
encourage
that
as
we
go
through
these
evaluations,
whether
it
be
in
the
next
hour
or
the
next
few
days
that
we
do
look
for
ongoing
funding
for
this
position.
Based
on
the
comments
from
the
customer.
E
Thank
You
mr.
chair,
so
first
I
agree
with
counsel
both
vice-president
Glidden.
If
we
could
have
a
just
a
little
bit
of
time
during
perhaps
the
lunch
break,
that
would
be
an
excellent
opportunity
to
not
just
find
the
funding
but,
as
mr.
ruff
stated,
find
funding.
That
is,
that
is
ongoing.
I
mean
this
is
an
opportunity
to
allow
the
Health
Department
to
plan
for
the
future
and
not
just
propose
a
band-aid
solution
for
one
year.
E
C
Mr.
chair
I'm
gonna
move
to
postpone
this
till
after
lunch
and
I
just
would
ask
mr.
upper
mr.
mic
interval.
Excuse
me
how
many
vacant
positions
do
we
have
in
the
city
right
now?
Anybody
know
that
off
the
top
of
their
heads,
61,
okay,
I
think
we
can
find
a
position
so
give
us
till
after
lunch
and
I'm.
A
O
A
G
P
A
L
B
B
Q
Mr.
chair
members
of
the
committee
David
Frank
from
CPA,
and
that
was
a
great
moment
of
levity.
Thank
you
to
the
question
council.
Vice
president.
We
have,
we
have
programmed
and
have
put
out
requests
for
proposals
and
will
be
spending
these
these
dollars.
It's
just
that
when
you
look
in
the
financial
system
today,
we
haven't
yet
signed
a
contract
right,
so
they're
not
officially
encumbered
in
the
finance
sense
of
the
word.
So
that's
what
that
uncommitted,
financial
phrase
and.
L
Isn't
this
like
double
spending
if
we
think
that
we
will
get
committed
anyway,
that's
what's
I'm,
not
tracking,
with
what
he
said
with
mr.
Andhra
Mills
a
description
and
just
trying
to
understand.
What's
going
on
and
are
there
extra?
Are
there
dollars
available
that
wouldn't
know
there,
but
otherwise
be
committed
and
used.
Q
Mr.
chair
council,
vice
president,
wouldn't
these
are
dollars
that
we
that
we
are
working
to
spend
that
we
have
not
yet
signed
a
contract
for-
and
this
is
a
slight
modification
to
the
emphasis
of
how
we
will
spend
them
right.
So
we
were
going
to
spend
them
anyway,
they'll
be
spent.
The
question
is:
are
they
spent
on
seat
app
seat?
App
functions?
Are
they
spent
on
beat
app
functions?
This
is
definitely
money.
We
will
spend
just
a
small
change
in
the
emphasis
of
how
we
will
spend
them
and.
O
Q
L
K
Thank
You
mr.
chair
I
also
kind
of
am
confused
because
in
committee
we
certainly
could
say:
okay,
there's
not
enough
money
in
the
seats
hat
program,
we
can
take
it
from
another
source.
It
doesn't
really
rise
to
the
level
of
a
budget
amendment
because
it's
taking
money
within
see
feds
budget
and
moving
it
from
one
thing
to
another
which
could
happen
in
committee.
So
perhaps
council
member
I
could
explain
what's
going
on
if
it
was
an
increase
in
the
see
fed
budget
to
fully
fund
to
put
more
money
into
the
CGI
program.
K
P
Question
certainly
yeah
I
was
agnostic
as
to
the
source.
I
just
asked
the
question:
how
do
we
have
a
hundred
thousand
projected
activities
to
launch
our
newly
formatted
seat
a
program
and
there
were
dollars
identified
to
the
amount
of
sixty-five
thousand
dollars
and
I
just
explored?
Where
could
we
find
another
35
and
that's
what
staff
found
so
I'm,
quite
agnostic
as
to
the
source?
I
just
had
an
objective.
K
Mr.
chair
councilmember
right
but
I
just
heard
staff
say
this
isn't
an
increase
to
their
budget.
It's
just
moving
things
around
the
budget,
so
I
think
this
should
be
an
increase
to
the
budget
not
taking
from
one
within
the
budget
and
putting
it
into
another
and
now
I
see
miles
shaking
his
head.
So
now,
I'm
not
sure
who
knows
who
can
speak
to
this
I'm
hearing
like
multiple
different
things,
I
see.
R
You,
mr.
chair
council
members,
my
name
is
Miles
Mercer
I'm
with
the
Business
Development
Group
and
it
C
ped,
and
we,
my
group,
administers
the
great
streets
program.
So
suburb
sounds
like
for
many
of
you
when
you
think
of
the
great
streets
program
you
think
of
our
business
district
support
program
or
facade
improvement
program.
Those
are
not.
These
dollars
is
my
understanding.
Those
are
funded
out
of
development.
Account
funds,
my
understanding,
the
dollars
that
are
subject
to
the
customer
rights
amendment
are
community
Block,
Grant
dollars
and
those
are
related
to
the
great
streets
program.
R
So
gracious
has
a
couple
different
components
to
it,
and
the
component
that
these
the
dahle
the
CD
is
CDBG.
The
Community
Development
dollars
are
related
to
is
our
gap
financing
loans.
So
we
don't
necessarily
have
a
gap,
financing
loan
that
we
are
about
to
close
on
and
we
can
use
that
money.
That's
there
available
for
gaps
for
gap
financing
loans
instead
for
C
tap
activities,
because
we
already
use
some
of
that
CDBG
allocation
to
help
fund
B
tap
generally
the
business
Technical
Assistance
Program,
okay,.
K
Mr.
chair
council,
member
Ike,
we
don't
need
to
do
this
here.
This
is
something
we
can
chew
in
committee
then,
and
we
should
change
the
language,
so
it
doesn't
say
great
streets
program,
project
budget,
because
that's
exactly
what
it
says
and
so
I
read
it
literally
that
you're
going
to
take
money
out
of
the
great
streets
program,
project
budget,
which
is
your
language,
not
mine
and
I.
Don't
think
there's
going
to
be
a
lot
of
that
energy
for
doing
that.
K
This
is
money
that
goes
to
businesses
and
neighborhoods
and
neighborhood
associations
to
help,
and
there
was
great
need
on
West,
Broadway
and
and
Franklin
I.
Just
don't
see
us
doing
that
so
I
would
hope.
I
would
ask
the
council
member
Weick
withdraw
this,
so
we
either
can
find
another
source
to
add
money
to
C
pad
or
we
can
handle
this
in
committee
to
rearrange
things
in
committee.
One
or
the
other
is
fine,
I'm,
happy
to
add
more
money
to
C
feds
budget.
P
A
G
A
F
F
There
should
be
a
motion
before
you:
it's
actually
a
sheet
with
two
different
motions:
one
is
the
staff
direction
and
one
is
a
motion
it's
by
Gordon
and
a
Johnson.
The
motion
is
for
to
temporary
health,
food
and
lodging
inspectors.
If
you
don't
have
it,
I
can
make
sure
you
get
a
copy.
Everybody
should
have
a
copy.
I'll.
Just
tell
you
what's
on
it
and
indicate
to
me
you
need
more
copies.
F
If
I
may
please
so,
the
Health
Department
originally
requested
three
new
inspectors.
What
we've
seen
is
a
big
increase
in
the
industry
in
recent
years
with
the
food
trucks,
we
also
have
many
community
events
where
food
is
served
and
they've
been
working
hard
to
keep
pace
also
with
new
small
businesses
that
are
coming
up,
we've
actually
seen
some
improvements
in
intent
of
helping
with
compliance
and
support
and
education,
and
without
an
increase
in
inspectors.
F
They'd
have
to
cut
back
on
some
of
their
programs
and
services,
I
believe
most
of
the
council
offices
that
maybe
heard
about
this
issue
already
I
know
we
certainly
heard
about
it
from
the
Health
Department
when
we
had
our
budget
hearing.
So
this
would
be
a
way
to
resolve
that
issue.
I
also
had
conversations
with
secret
director
to
understand
how
much
money
they
really
needed
to
roll
out
the
the.
F
If
you
notice
in
the
budget
book
it
says
if
this
money
is
even
contingent
on
a
work
plan
being
developed
with
finance
that
they
can
agree
to
so
they're
working
that
out
and
if
they
need
additional
revenue,
they
probably
won't
need
it
until
near
the
end
of
the
year
or
next
year,
and
it
can
put
in
next
year's
budget.
So
I
think
this
is
funding
that
might
not
necessarily
be
needed.
I
will
say
and
I'm
going
to
move
into
the
staff
direction.
That's
on
the
same
page.
F
If
that's
all
right,
we
can
move
these
separately,
but
I
think
I
had
a
concern
with
this
funding
because
it
is
only
one-time
funding,
but
there
was.
It
was
also
clear
to
me
that
we
have
some
issues
with
our
licensing
fees.
Some
of
the
things
that
seem
really
obvious
are,
if
you
have
a
liquor
license,
you
don't
have
to
actually
get
or
pay
anything
extra
for
your
food
license,
even
though
it
requires
additional
staff
and,
depending
on
the
restaurant,
that
you
have
operating
there,
that
seem
to
be
a
problem.
F
There's
also
some
issues
with
how
big
an
establishment
is.
That
may
only
need
one
license,
yet
they
might
have
many
vendors
who
are
operating
in
the
establishment
so
now,
with
the
recommendation
of
staff
who
helped
develop
this
and
finance
staff
in
particular,
there's
a
staff
direction.
That
says
we
need
to
move
forward
with
a
study
and
to
analyze
this
further,
so
that
moving
forward
were
clear
on
what
kind
of
revenues
are
required
for
us
to
do
this
work
in
terms
of
the
fee
structure
and
this
staff
direction.
F
N
A
I
I
I
would
say
that
the
decision
on
hiring
these
folks
also
could
be
done
at
that
time,
rather
than
using
one-time
money
again
on
the
same
basis
of
the
discussion
we
had
earlier,
which
is
you
are
now
committing.
If
you
take
action
today,
you
are
committing
yourself
to
FTEs,
and
if
the
study
comes
back
that
there's
not
enough
money
or
the
decision
is
made
not
to
increase
the
fees,
then
we
have
people
who
are
hired.
J
A
A
A
L
I
guess
my
question
just
is:
is
we
have
at
least
one
and
maybe
a
couple
conversations
happening
for
people
I
can
return
out
of
here?
I
can
come
back
at
12:30,
but
I
know
there
are
some
folks
who
wanted
to
review
options
for
modifying
their
motions,
and
so
maybe
some
of
those
folks
could
say
would
they
rather
do
12:30
or
1:00?
So
you
know
we
could
always
say
12:30,
but
right,
let's,
let's.
A
A
Good
afternoon
everyone
I
know
there
have
been
discussions
happening
around,
but
I
understand
that
we
still
have
some
issues
that
are
unresolved.
So
we
have
to
take
some
specific
actions
today
to
make
sure
that
we
can
address
the
mayor's
recommended
budget
for
2018
on
the
Wednesday
evening.
So
are
there
any
additional
motions
that
folks
would
like
to
make
for
this
afternoon
session?
Not
seeing
any?
C
A
At
this
point
is
my
understanding:
I
think
it
would
be
better
to
let
those
two
items
die
in
committee
and
then
we'll
be
able
to
reintroduce
everything
as
Lucian
at
actual
adoption
evening.
So
we
should
just
probably,
unless
you
want
to
take
action
on
any
particular
item
that
we'd
have
to
move
to
take
something
off
the
table.
So
the.
C
A
A
So
with
that
I'd
like
to
move
approval
of
Mayer's
recommended
2018
budget
as
further
recommended
by
this
committee
and
with
a
recommendation
for
adoption
to
the
full
City
Council
at
its
adjourns
session
next
Wednesday
December
6th
beginning
at
6:05,
is
when
the
public
hearing
will
start
and
at
the
conclusion
of
that
public
hearing
is
when
we'll
take
up
the
action
as
the
adjourned
City
Council
meeting
in
this
chamber
on
Wednesday
December
6th.
Is
there
any
discussion
on
that
motion?
