Description
Minneapolis City Council Meeting
A
Good
morning
and
welcome
to
this
regularly
scheduled
meeting
of
the
Minneapolis
City
Council
before
our
council
meeting.
At
times,
we
have
the
opportunity
to
recognize
special
events,
special
people
organizations
within
our
community,
and
this
morning
my
colleague,
councilman
Verlander
Connell,
was
planning
on
introducing
a
resolution
today.
But
she
had
a
family
medical
emergency,
and
so
she
won't
be
joining
us.
A
Haiti
became
the
only
nation
in
the
Western
Hemisphere
to
defeat
three
European
empires
and
remains
the
only
nation
in
the
world
established
as
a
result
of
a
successful
revolutionary
uprising
of
enslaved,
African
people
and
whereas
hundreds
of
Haitians
have
made
the
United
Stated
Twin
Cities
their
home,
often
as
refugees.
And
this
civically
engaged
community
is
a
unique
part
of
the
diversity
of
Minneapolis
contributing
to
our
vibrant
arts,
musical
scene
and
local
business
community.
And
whereas,
when
he
D,
was
hit
with
a
devastating
earthquake.
In
2010.
A
The
Haitian
diaspora
community
in
Minneapolis
and
around
the
world
took
action.
Gathering,
resources
and
supplies
to
send
home
and
the
local
Haitian
community
created
the
nonprofit
Haitian
community
of
Minnesota
to
align
efforts
for
the
earthquake
relief
and
have
continued
to
provide
services
to
local
Haitian
families
throughout
this
organization.
And
whereas
the
nation
of
Haiti
and
Haitian
people
all
over
the
world
celebrate
Haitian
flag
day
each
year
on
May
18th,
which
commemorates
the
adoption
of
a
flag
at
the
nineteen,
will
excuse.
A
1803,
are
high
a
conference
and
provides
an
opportunity
for
the
Haitian
community
to
come
together
and
celebrate
and
share
their
history
and
culture
and
now,
therefore,
be
it
resolved
by
the
city
resolved
at
a
city
council.
The
city
Minneapolis
that
may
18th
will
be
recognized
as
Haitian
flag
day
in
Minneapolis,
and
so
we
have
a
spokesman
from
the
Haitian
community
would
like
to
say
a
few
words
and
introduce
yourself.
Please
good.
B
Morning,
my
name
is
Jose.
Bada
Marcia
was
calling
by
Demasi
and
I'm
the
founder
of
the
Haitian
community
of
Minnesota
and

president.
So
I
like
to
say
thank
you
to
everyone
that
here

my
brother
and
sister
and
the
consul
Asia
and
everyone
that

and
to
make
today
the
day
that
I
will
I
was
waiting
for
for
the
resolution
to
be
every
year.
And
then
we
are
a
nation
like
if
we
admissions,
we
have
the
flag
like
everybody
else.
B
C
B
I
want,
like
I,
said
the
message
of
all
the
Haitian
that
here

small
group
here
and
for
us
to
say,
unite
because
I
think
and
the
flag
that
I'll
add
in
them
to
me
say:
United

power,
so
also
we
we
reunite.
You
can
do
a
lot
together
in
peace.
So
thank
you
for
everybody
that
unites
today
and
then
to
help
us
to
have
that
D
and
then
the
ribbon
of
and
Minneapolis.
A
Mm-Hmm
sure
come
on
up.
Okay,
take
a
picture
all
right:
okay,
I'm
going
to
turn
this
over.
We
have
another
resolution,
and
we've
turned
this
over
to
my
colleague,
councilmember
Glidden
council.
Vice
president
good
and
I
think
I
forgot
to
introduce
myself
in
the
beginning.
My
name
is
Barbara
Johnson
and
I'm,
president
of
the
City
Council.
C
Now,
therefore,
be
it
resolved
by
the
City
Council
of
the
city
of
Minneapolis
that
the
month
of
September
is
recognized
as
ovarian
cancer
awareness
month
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis
and
be
it
further
resolved
at
the
35w
bridge,
be
lit
teal
on
Friday
September,
1st
2017
in
honor
of
the
Minnesota
ovarian
cancer
Alliance
has
worked
to
raise
awareness,
provide
support
and
fund
ovarian
cancer
research.
Thank
you.
D
D
All
right
I'm,
not
your
applause
after
I'm
done
I
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you.
My
name
is
Mary
Pat
ozland
and
yes,
I'm,
the
president
of
the
board
of
directors
for
Minnesota,
ovarian
cancer
Alliance
or
as
we
refer
to
it
as
mocha
I'm,
also
a
13
year
survivor,
and
this
is
a
really
big
guild
us
you're,
really
helping
us
drive
awareness
13
years
is
almost
unheard
of
it's
because
of
what
you
just
mentioned.
This
disease
is
very
difficult
to
detect
and
we
do
not
have
any
any
tests
at
this
point
in
time.
D
That's
reliable,
so
anything
we
can
do
to
provide
awareness
and
give
women
the
knowledge
of
what
the
symptoms
are,
because
it's
there
are
symptoms,
but
they're,
very
vague
in
our
medical
community
as
well.
So
we
do
a
lot
of
work
at
MOCA
to
try
to
drive
awareness,
and
this
little
bit
helps.
So
we
really
thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you.
E
A
A
He's
here,
I
saw
him.
Okay,
all
right.
We
have
a
quorum
of
council
members
present,
and
so
the
next
item
on
our
agenda
is
adoption
of
the
agenda
and
we
have
a
couple
additions
to
the
agenda.
Councilmember
Cano
has
an
amendment
that
I
will
be
presenting
for
to
recognize
the
Haitian
flag
days.
So
that
is
in
front
of
you.
We
rather

the
council

G
A
Moved

agenda
to

Any

there
a
second

that

seconded
any

seeing
none
all

say

utility.
Easement
vacation
is

Street

A
E
J
K
You,
madam
president,
I,
have
a
motion
in
front
of
everyone
here
and
it's
a
motion
to
grant
an
appeal
submitted
by
David
edquist
of
holiday
station
stores
has
adopted,
amended
findings
of
facts
and
approved
the
following
land
use:
application
to
reconstruct
an
automotive
convenience
facility,
car
wash
property
located
at
1624
Washington.
That
means
more
and
I
just
wanted
to
just
highlight
a
few
things,
but
let
me
just
mention
that
after
the
zoning,
Planning
Committee
meeting
staff
and
staff
at
holiday
stations,
words
did
get
together
a
couple
times
and
they
get
a
chance.
K
They
have
seen
some
of
the
details
with
that
and
then,
after
that,
City
Attorney's
Office
got
involved
in
terms
of
making
some
amended
findings
as
well.
So
just
wanted
to
point
that
out.
You
know.
Some
of
the
highlights
are
that
the
work
must
be
done
by
July
21st
2019
fashioned
closures
have
been
moved
and
adjusted
according
to
staff,
and
there
are
no
big
swaths
of
blank
walls
and
there
is
increased
tree
cover
and
that's
kind
of
the
highlight
of
the
motion
here.
A
K
So
this
holiday
station
is
the
station
that
used
to
be
the
Old
Colony
station.
You
know
if
you
drive
on
highway
94
and
get
up
on
West
Broadway,
the
exit.
You
see
this
beehive
and
you
know
it
was
iconic
for
a
long
time.
But
no
after
years
it
got
to
be
sort
of
white.
I
can
call
it
that,
and
you
know
it
was
in
some
ways
an
unfortunate
that
I
holiday
purchases
site
and
they're.
K
Is
that
the
neighbors
right
in
back
of
them
London
and
the
neighbors
are
right
next
to
them
at
token
media
and
also
the
neighborhood
group
in
the
West,
Broadway,
business
and
business
and
area
go
listen
are
in
support
of
this,
and
you
know
I
ask
my
colleagues
to
approve
this
and
to
grant
an
appeal.
Thank
you
and.
C
I
J
A
A
Next
we
have
the
notice
of
ordinance
introduction.
The
first
is
councilmember
Goodman
gives
notice
of
intent
to
introduce
at
the
next
regular
meeting
of
the
City
Council
the
subject
matter
of
an
ordinance
amending
the
code
relating
to
administrative
enforcement
and
hearing
process
adjusting
the
appeal
deadline
provided
in
Section
2.80.
That
notice
is
given.
A
We
have

and

opposed
that
carries
and
we
have
the
Haitian
flag
motion
resolution.
C
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I
feel
the
need
to
say
something
about
officer-involved
shooting.
In
my
ward
last
Saturday
night,
it's
been
through
130
hours
since
trusting
Daymond
one
of
my
constituents
and
a
really
beloved
member
of
our
community
died
from
a
bullet
shot
by
one
of
our
city.
Employees,
a
Minneapolis
police
officer,
I,
want
to
take
a
moment
to
reflect
on
this
and
add
to
the
public
conversation.
Some
of
the
things
I've
been
hearing
from
constituents
in
the
13th.
For
a
few
short
weeks
ago,
I
stood
in
the
backyard
of
a
constituent.
F
I
took
a
series
of
questions
from
those
gathered
in
the
midst
of
the
Yanis
trial.
One
of
my
constituents
asked:
what
can
you
do
to
make
sure
an
incident
like
the
falando
Castillo
police
shooting
doesn't
happen
in
Minneapolis.
My
response
was
that
falando
could
very
well
have
been
killed
in
Minneapolis.
I
also
said
that
simply
put
I
couldn't
promise
that
it
could
never
happen
in
our
city
but
went
into
all
of
the
things
we've
been
doing
to
advance
our
Police
Training.
F
Well,
a
few
weeks
later,
it
did
happen
just
a
few
short
blocks
from
where
we
stood.
That
day.
Yesterday,
our
police
chief
said
that,
based
on
what
we
know
that
Justine
Damon
should
not
have
died,
so
essentially
with
a
few
obligatory
asterisks
a
few
caveats.
We
have
all
but
admitted
that,
even
with
what
little
we
know
from
the
Bureau
of
Criminal
Apprehension
that
one
of
our
police
officers
killed
one
of
my
constituents
and
it
was
when
she
was
calling
for
help.
F
Also,
yesterday
my
neighbors
felt
a
vigil
in
a
March
to
honor
Justine
in
attendance
with
Valerie
Castillo,
the
mother
of
falando
Castillo.
It
was
clearly
acknowledged
last
night
by
everyone
in
attendance
that
Justine's
death
was
not
an
isolated
event.
It
was
beautiful
to
see
our
whole
city
standing
up
and
together
in
solidarity.
This
is
who
we
are.
F
It's
also
another
of
a
string
of
things
that
have
happened
the
last
few
years
in
our
city,
in
our
Twin
Cities
region
and
around
the
nation.
We
should
also
acknowledge
that
these
incidents,
these
days,
you
finish
euphemistically
called
officer-involved
shootings,
didn't
just
start
three
or
four
years
ago.
This
has
been
happening.
F
Our
city
since
its
founding,
my
constituents
are
not
treating.
This
is
a
single
isolated
incident,
Justine's
family
and
all
of
her
neighbors
clearly
understand
how
all
of
these
events
are
related,
and
so
we
mourn
we
release
statements.
We
have
press
conferences,
we
give
interviews,
we
post
emotional
statements
on
social
media,
but
it
is
not
enough
rallies
and
vigils
and
marches
while
helpful
are
not
enough
saying
we
are
communicating
when
we
really
have
very
little
to
actually
say
is
really
not
enough:
heartfelt
prayers
and
statements
of
support.
F
They
are
important
and
I
can
share
directly
that
Justine's,
fiance
and
family
are
feeling
them,
but
we
all
know
that
this
is
not
enough
body.
Cameras
are
not
enough.
None
of
this
will
turn
back
the
clock
and
bring
back
Justine
or
Solano
Castillo
or
Jamar
Clark.
So
where
do
we
go
from
here?
I
think
we
need
to
fundamentally
change
the
way
police
operate
in
our
city,
and
if
this
means
a
change
in
police
leadership
or
a
change
in
management
structure,
then
so
be
it
because
we
have
a
systemic
problem.
F
F
Our
police
have
an
incredibly
difficult
job
to
do,
but
everyone
must
feel
safe,
calling
9-1-1
for
help.
People
should
not
fear
for
their
own
safety
when
they
call
to
ask
for
help
or
for
help
for
a
neighbor
in
need.
People
calling
the
police
should
not
fear
for
the
safety
of
their
family
or
their
pets
or
fear
they
might
get
deported
if
they
ask
for
help.
F
Our
entire
public
safety
system
in
this
country
is
dependent
on
this
and
right
now,
I
am
hearing
from
too
many
people
that
trust
in
our
system
as
a
country
is
not
there.
This
must
change
I'm
done
with
damage,
control
and
crisis
management
and
day
by
day,
I'm
moving
beyond
sadness
and
I
am
angry.
My
constituents
are
angry
and
now
is
the
time
to
attorney
motion
into
action,
so
I
will
be
pushing
for
fundamental
changes
in
our
Police
Department.
F
From
top
to
bottom
and
I,
ask
you,
as
my
colleagues
to
join
in
these
efforts
if
the
current
state
laws
can't
get
guilty
verdicts,
when
police
kill
our
citizens,
we
need
new
laws
when
police
are
using
their
guns
in
a
destructive
manner.
We
must
rethink
our
use
of
force
policies.
Yes,
we
must
revamp
our
body,
camera
policies
and
technology,
not
just
so.
We
have
recordings
of
these
incidents,
but
so
the
cameras
themselves
act
as
a
deterrent
and
can
build
trust
in
our
community
and
I
get
this
required.
F
State
law,
change
and
I
get
that
it
requires
operating
procedures
that
only
the
mayor
and
the
chief
can
change
and
I
get
that
it
involves
audit
which
I
chair
had
miss
city,
and
we
need
to
do
more
of
all
over,
but
we
must
seriously
consider
whether
we
need
a
change
of
leadership
in
our
Police
Department.
So
in
the
future,
when
someone
asks
you
for
me,
as
they
did
a
few
weeks
ago,
if
this
will
ever
happen
again,
I
want
to
say
we
are
doing
everything
we
can
to
prevent
it
and
anything
less
is
unacceptable.
L
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I,
don't
know
that
I
can
say
it
as
well
as
councilmember
Palmisano
did
I.
Think
you
hit
the
nail
on
the
head,
I,
think
the
the
vigils
and
the
community
gatherings
and
the
support
and
prayers
are,
are
wonderful
and
essential
and
are
certainly
uplifting
to
the
community
in
the
13th
Ward.
L
But
we've
reached
the
point
where
I
think
it's
time
to
be
angry
and
it's
besides
the
time
for
action
and
when
we
talk
about
an
individual
that
was
that
was
shot
following
a
911
call
with
no
evidence
whatsoever,
either
visual
or
otherwise.
On
body
cameras,
I
think
we
have
to
recognize.
We
have
a
problem
and
in
my
mind
there
should
be
a
rebuttable
presumption
of
misconduct.
If
a
body
camera
is
failed
to
get
is
not
turned
on
and
and
then
an
incident
happens,
we
can
create
that
rebuttable
presumption,
certainly
of
misconduct
and
the
state
legislature.
L
Additionally-
and
this
is
also
at
the
state
level,
I
think
we
need
to
be
looking
at
how
the
lack
of
a
reasonable
person
defense
functions
right
now.
If
any
of
us
up
here
are
going
to
claim
self-defense,
we
have
to
show
that
we
were
acting
as
the
reasonable
person
would
have
under
same
or
similar
circumstances.
In
other
words,
we
have
to
show
that,
under
the
circumstances,
it
was
reasonable
to
hit
or
hurt
or
punch.
L
Somebody
in
self-defense,
however,
that
reasonable
person,
defense
is
not
the
same
for
officers
officers,
it's
more
of
a
subjective,
its
intent,
and
if
the
officer
says
that
they
were
afraid
under
the
circumstances,
it's
very
hard
to
rebut.
How
do
you
rebut
a
person's
subjective
intent
without
knowing
what's
in
their
head?
These
are
issues
that
we
have
to
look
at
right
now
and
additionally,
I
agree
entirely
with
1a.
J
You,
madam
chair
I,
want
to
thank
councilmember
Palmisano
for
her
words.
Her
leadership
on
this
issue.
I
absolutely
agree
with
you
on
this
and
know
that
you
have
my
support
and
I
look
forward
to
working
with
you
and
pushing
for
these
changes
residents
after
this
are
really
reflecting
I
heard
from
a
lot
of
people
who
said
they
no
longer
feel
safe
to
call
911
and
they're
going
to
second-guess
in
situations
where
their
witnesses
are
they're
hearing
something
wrong
and
we
want
them
to
reach
out.
J
We
want
them
to
be
our
eyes
and
ears
on
the
streets
when
it
comes
to
public
safety,
I
think
we
have
seen
undermining
of
police
work
and
Public
Safety
across
our
city
by
the
questions
the
doubts
are
now
raised
in
residents
far
and
wide
over.
What
they
felt
previously
was
something
completely
safe
that
they
would
never
second-guess
or
question
the
other
issue
that
I
suggested
and
I
wanted
to
raise.
J
J
Finally,
I
think
we
need
to
embrace
the
technology.
That's
out
there.
I
would
support
immediately
rolling
out
the
technology
where,
when
officers
pull
out
their
guns,
cameras
within
30
feet,
body
cameras
begin
to
roll.
But
my
understanding
is
that
this
is
a
technology
that
costs
about
$100,
an
officer
we're
talking
about
a
little
more
than
sixty
thousand
dollars
to
ensure
that
our
entire
force
anytime,
they
pull
out
their
gun.
We
have
cameras
on
enrolling,
so
I
think
that's
an
important
aspect.
We
need
as
well.
J
The
technology
exists
today
we're
always
on
or
near
always
on
body
cameras.
We
need
to
embrace
that
a
policy
where
the
only
time
an
officer
is
really
turning
off
their
body.
Camera
is
either
in
a
private
personal
situation
on
their
own
is
outside
of
being
out
in
the
field
or
when
they're
in
somebody's
home
or
in
a
sensitive
situation
where
there
is
a
request
for
that
body.
