Description
Minneapolis Health, Environment & Community Engagement Committee Meeting
A
Good
afternoon
everybody
I'm
going
to
call
to
order
this
meeting
of
our
health
environment
and
community
engagement
committee,
I'm,
council,
member
cam,
Gordon
I,
chair
the
committee
and
today
I'm
joined
by
council
members,
Clinton,
bender
and
fry.
We
are
quorum
of
the
committee,
so
we
can
do
the
committee's
business.
I
think
I'm
going
to
go
through
our
consent
items
first
and
then
we'll
take
our
presentation
after
that,
and
then
our
discussion
items
and
anything
on
the
consent
agenda
committee
members
can
pull
off
if
you
want
to
discuss
or
have
any
questions.
A
First
consent
item
is
authorizing
an
amendment
to
an
agreement
with
Fairview
diagnostic
laboratories
to
increase
the
amount
by
180
thousand
dollars
and
not
to
exceed
five
hundred
and
forty
thousand
dollars
for
the
contractor
will
then
go
through
December
31st
2021
for
school-based
clinic
services.
Second
item
is
approving
a
counsel
appointment
of
K
J
star
to
the
Public
Health
Advisory.
A
Committee
third
item
is
setting
a
public
hearing
for
June
19th
to
consider
an
ordinance
amendment
of
title,
10,
chapter
188
of
our
code
relating
to
the
food
code,
administration
and
licensing
amending
the
section
entitled,
selling
and
sorting
on
the
streets.
The
fifth
item
has
to
do
with
the
amplified,
sound
permit
and
I'm
going
to
move
to
refer
that
back
to
staff.
It's
not
completely
ready
is
my
understanding.
A
The
sixth
item,
then,
is
approving
various
appointments
to
the
Minneapolis
Advisory
Committee
on
Aging
I'm,
not
sure
if
anybody
is
here,
but
if
anybody
is
with
that
group,
thank
you
so
much
for
your
willingness
to
to
serve.
You
can
see
all
the
appointees
on
the
agenda
and
the
seventh
item
is
setting
the
public
hearing
also
for
June
19th
to
consider
our
appointments
to
the
neighborhood
and
community
engagement
teams.
A
B
B
A
To
take
that
back,
we're
going
to
go
ahead
and
approve
that
one,
it's
actually
number
10,
which
is
the
ordinance
amendment
that
we're
going
to
refer
back
to
set
thanks
for
calling
in
tonight.
Thank
you,
so
I'm
Peggy
I
take
that
back
just
kidding.
We
will
move
forward
number
five.
So
on
that,
then
seeing
no
other
discussion,
all
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye
any
opposed
those
motions
carry.
Then
then
we're
going
to
move
on
to
our
exciting
presentations.
A
This
is
our
2017
Minneapolis
green
business
awards
for
clean
air
projects
in
pollution
reduction
and
energy
efficiency
and
I
believe
we're
going
to
have
Patrick
Hamlin
come
up
to
present
the
awards.
We
have
seven
Award
winners
this
year
and
tell
us
more
about
what
they
did
and
who
they
are
welcome.
Chair.
C
Gordon
councilmembers,
my
name
is
Patrick
Hanlon
I'm,
the
environmental
initiatives
manager
for
the
city,
Minneapolis,
Health,
Department
and
I
thought
I'd.
Kick
us
off
with
having
bill
Dressler
from
environmental
initiative.
Give
us
kind
of
a
higher
level
view
of
the
green
business
program,
we'll
be
talking
about
the
green
business
results
from
2012
to
2017
today
and
Bill
will
take
us
off.
D
Chair
Gordon
councilmembers,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity.
It's
really
an
honor.
When
Patrick
told
me
about
two
hours
ago,
they
I'd
be
beating
off
I,
didn't
think
we
were
worthy,
but
the
program
is
definitely
worthy.
My
name
is
Bill
Dressler
I
work
for
environmental
initiatives
from
the
director
of
clean
air,
Minnesota
we're
a
non-profit.
We
focus
on
public-private
partnerships
and
since
2003
we've
been
working
to
convene
leaders
on
air
quality
issues.
Excuse
me
in
Minnesota,
focusing
on
crafting
emission
and
exposure
reduction
projects
through
the
program
and
the
partnership
with
the
city.
D
This
way
at
this
level
and
Gretchen
Dan
and
Patrick
you're
too
modest,
to
talk
about
it
this
way,
so
we'll
do
it
on
their
behalf
and
that
it's
good
for
the
community
and
a
lot
of
people
find
it
to
be
almost
a
sport.
These
days
to
bash
governments
about
things
that
aren't
working.
This
is
something
that
is
working
remarkably
well,
but
it's
an
honor
to
talk
about
this
this
afternoon.
D
Through
these
efforts,
the
city
is
displaying
strong
leadership
and
uniquely
providing
environmental,
health
and
economic
benefits
at
the
same
time,
in
the
same
projects
and
all
through
a
completely
voluntary
public-private
venture.
That
is,
if
that,
weren't
enough,
all
these
public
funds
are
being
leveraged
multiple
times
through
multiple
private
funding
sources.
So
all
of
this,
taken
together
makes
our
area
healthier
that
are
economically
more
competitive
and
continues
these
environmental
improvements
over
the
years
and
working
through
these
diverse
public-private
partnerships
to
find
you
to
be
beneficial
goals
and
one
of
the
other
major
takeaways
for
today.
D
As
you
hear
about
the
specific
projects
and
these
award
winning
projects,
is
that
they're
helping
us
to
clean
up
some
of
the
toughest
to
get
at
pollution
sources
in
our
region
and
in
the
city
only
about
25
percent
of
the
pollution.
These
days
comes
from
the
typical
smokestack
industries,
the
rest
of
it
comes
from
primarily
how
we
move
ourselves
and
goods
around
the
community
and
the
smaller
more
dispersed,
less
regulated
sources
in
the
neighborhoods
things
like
dry
cleaners,
auto
repair
shop
print
shops
and
things
like
that
small
manufacturers.
D
So
these
projects
that
you're
going
to
hear
about
the
award-winning
projects
are
gaining
enormous
pollution
productions
in
our
backyard,
our
neighborhood
or
a
region
Patrick
and
the
other
programs
will
talk
about
the
numbers
and
they
are
just
monumental
for
these
kinds
of
projects
in
comparison
to
cities
of
this
size
around
the
country.
So
for
that
again,
I
want
to
thank
the
city
for
everything
they've
done
to
support
this
program.
We
hope
to
work
with
it
for
years
to
come
doing
these
same
kinds
of
voluntary,
public-private
partnerships.
C
I,
go
through
the
presentation
from
here,
so
to
kick
us
off
to
start
off
with
the
green
business
program
started
in
2010
of
frustrated
government,
employee
walked
into
a
liquor
store,
and
that
sounds
like
the
beginning
of
a
joke.
But
it's
not
and
I
was
frustrated,
for
this
reason
is
that
we
would
go
out
as
inspectors
in
our
program
and
we
would
deal
with
environmental
issues
in
the
city.
We
would
get
complaints
from
citizens
about
maybe
an
automotive
shop
or
a
dry
cleaner
in
their
neighborhood
or
a
manufacturing
facility,
and
some
of
the
cases.
C
C
We
would
investigate
again
we
would
work
with
Centipede,
County
and
the
state,
and
we
would
find
that
the
businesses
are
following
the
law
and
they're
they're
running
a
lawful
business,
and
you
know
some
of
our
our
monitoring
equipment
and,
and
subsequently
our
air
quality
study
found
that
there
were
areas
of
concern
around
these
businesses
and
we
weren't
able
to
do
anything
about
that.
And
so
we
were
in
a
loop
of
of
using
time
and
money
money
with
resources
in
inspecting
investigating
reporting
of
closing
those
cases.
C
And
then
we
would
go
back
in
that
loop
and
waste
a
lot
of
resources
so
that
frustrated,
employee
walked
into
our
government
worker
walked
into
max
liquor
in
st.
Louis,
Park
and
I
found
an
owner
there
Mac,
who
was
heating
his
business
with
a
corn
stove.
He
got
the
corn
from
a
local
farmer
who
would
bring
the
corn
in
and
in
exchange
for
the
corn
Mac
would
collect
the
grease
from
a
Chinese
restaurant
next
door.
C
I
thought
there
was
a
all
ecosystem
of
dealing
with
issues
in
innovating
in
a
business,
and
then
Matt
were
sitting
there
one
day
in
the
middle
of
Minnesota
and
he
was
looking
at
his
coolers
and
he
asked
himself:
why
am
I
paying
to
cool
coolers
in
the
middle
of
Minnesota
when
it's
zero
degrees
out?
So
he
came
up
with
a
system
to
draw
air
into
his
coolers
and
saved
himself
money.
That
way,
and
so
it
got
me
thinking
as
I
was
frustrated
with
some
of
the
issues
that
we
were
dealing
with
is
entrepreneurs.
C
They
make
a
living
solving
problems,
they
make
a
living
innovating,
that's
what
they
do
for
their
livelihood
and
I
have
to
ensure
that
those
ideas
are
feasible
when
they
come
up
with
those
ideas
and
they're
able
to
do
things
quickly,
and
these
are
a
lot
of
traits
that
we're
not.
We
don't
easily
do
here
in
government
and
so
I
thought.
How
can
we
put
those
entrepreneurs
and
that
talent
to
work
for
the
city,
and
so
we
came
out
used
to
call
this
the
win-win
solution,
but
I
came
across
this
term.
Tilde
one
win
everything
solution.
C
Xcel
Energy
also
utilizes
that
enter
or
assist
with
that
energy,
smart
program,
Center
Point
Center
for
energy,
environment,
Lakes,
three
council,
Center
for
Earth
energy
and
democracy
and
other
clean
air
Minnesota
partners.
It's
a
lot
of
people
to
be
grateful
for
in
developing
this
program.
So
the
initial
response
to
that
concept
was
no
two
years
in
a
row
was
no
and
I
only
put
that
up
here,
because
sometimes
developing
new
ideas
is
not
easy
and
this
program
was
not
easy
to
to
get
going
and
get
started.
C
Finally,
in
2012
the
idea
was,
the
idea
was
given
a
shot
with
specifically
for
dry
cleaning
in
addressing
dry
cleaning
in
Minneapolis,
and
no
one
responded
for
most
of
the
first
year
that
we
had
it
open
until
this
guy
stepped
forward
tile
or
a
bikini
at
em,
established
cleaners
in
North
Minneapolis
took
a
chance
on
us
in
switching
away
from
Kirk
and
his
dry
cleaning
business
in
North
Minneapolis
and
got
the
program
rolling.
It
was
about
a
hundred
thousand
dollar
investment
for
mr.
C
Abedini
and
not
a
huge
return
on
investment
with
with
the
project,
but
he
wanted
to
do
it
for
the
health
of
himself,
his
workers
and
the
people
in
the
nearby
community
at
2013.
This
is
a
picture
of
Martinizing
dry,
cleaner,
taking
a
dry
cleaning
machine
out
and,
as
you
can
see,
it's
not
an
easy.
Not
only
is
their
around
a
hundred
thousand
dollar
investment
to
these
businesses,
but
they
have
to
shut
down
business
for
a
few
days,
and
in
this
case
it
involves
punching
out
a
wall
to
get
the
machine
out.
C
We
also
worked
with
university
auto
service
that
year,
that
was
the
first
year.
We
did
energy
efficiency
projects,
and
then
we
worked
with
caramell
collision,
changing
to
waterborne
paint
from
high
boc
content
paint.
In
2014
we
worked
with
Oscar
Autobody,
who
has
become
a
poster
child
for
statewide
public-private
partnership.
We
worked
with
the
state,
we
worked,
the
the
city
and
then
Minnesota
Technical
Assistance
Program,
in
getting
that
program
going
and
switching
to
waterborne
paint
in
2014.
C
We
also
worked
with
Dunwoody
one
of
the
biggest
challenges
for
businesses
in
changing
to
waterborne
paint
from
more
polluting
BOC.
Content
paints
is
the
paint
texts
themselves
not
being
trained,
and
so
Dunwoody
is
now
training.
It
used
to
be
80%
of
their
program
within
hive,
EOC
paints
and
20%
was
in
waterborne.
Well,
they
flip
that,
and
so
now,
they're
training
in
20%
of
their
program
is
high.
Boc,
paints
and
80%
is
in
waterborne
and
training.
The
training,
the
next
generation
of
text
to
be
out
there
us
cleaners.
C
We
brought
that
before
council
a
couple
times
and
talking
about
that
case
that
we're
a
dry
cleaner
was
co-located
with
a
Somali
daycare
and
they
worked
in
in
quick
fashion
to
get
that
machine
moved
out
through
the
green
business
cost
year
program.
In
2015
we
worked
with
Central
Avenue,
auto
they
switched
from
another
auto
body
shop,
switching
to
waterborne
paint
in
a
residential
neighborhood,
and
then
that
was
the
first
year
that
we
moved
into
manufacturing.
C
So
we
worked
with
units
and
comfort
technologies
and
we
partnered
with
the
North
Minneapolis
program
in
keeping
95
employees
here,
while
changing
out
their
paint
booths
to
have
cleaner,
safer
practices
in
the
in
the
manufacturing
facility
for
HVAC
equipment
and
then
Smythe
printing
to
date
was
the
largest
pollution
reduction
project
that
we've
had.
They
are
I
just
checked
back
with
them
a
couple
months
ago
and
they're
around
20,000
pounds
of
BOC
reductions.
C
We've
there
18
businesses
and
we'll
be
recognizing
seven
of
them
here
today,
and
we
also
last
year,
one
as
bill
mentioned,
a
national
award
through
the
National
Association
of
county
and
city
health
officials
for
being
a
model
practice
nationally
2017.
This
is
what
we
have
to
look
forward
to
for
next
year.
We
have
yes
while
is
right,
and
so
we're
currently
have
more
requests
than
we
have
money
to
fund
all
of
these
projects.
But
we
have
moved
into
energy
efficiency.
We
still
have
our
base
with
getting
dry
cleaners.
C
We
have
three
dry
cleaners
that
submitted
this
year
and
we've
moved
into
renewables
with
some
requests
for
solar,
and
so
people
have
mentioned
leveraging
funding
the
green
business
cost
year.
Program
leverages
investments
six
to
one,
so
we
can
do
we
do
six
times
as
much
as
we
can
do
with
our
individual
dollars
by
working
with
our
partners
in
the
business
community.
C
The
green
business
projects
that
we've
these
are
the
great
business
projects
that
we've
worked
on
the
lighter
green
of
other
projects
that
are
proposed
and
if
you
look
at
where
the
projects
have
happened,
we
were
noticing
the
importance
of
focus,
outreach
in
areas
and
one
of
our
main
partners
in
doing
that.
Focused
outreach
is
the
Lake
Street
Council
and
so
we're
trying
to
look
at
how
we
can
replicate
the
success
that
we're
having
in
South
Minneapolis
and
bring
that
to
the
areas
that
we're
not
getting
into
as
well
in
North
Minneapolis.
E
Welcome
checker
and
councilmembers.
Thank
you
very
much
good
afternoon.
My
name
is
Max's
Inka
work
for
the
Lake
Street
Council
I
also
serve
as
the
co-chair
of
the
clean
energy
partnerships,
energy
vision,
Advisory,
Committee
and
I
like
to
speak
about
how
the
green
business
cost
share
program
has
helped
to
make
energy
efficiency
more
accessible
to
small
business
owners
along
League
Street
and
in
Minneapolis.
E
Over
the
past
three
years,
the
lakes
three
councils
helped
business
owners
in
our
corridor,
take
advantage
of
cost-saving
energy
efficiency
opportunities
in
partnership
with
the
Minnesota
Chamber
of
Commerce's
energy,
smart
program,
we've
helped
over
150
businesses
identify
the
best
efficiency
measures
available
to
them
and
together
we've
helped
dozens
of
those
businesses
navigate
utility
programs,
receive
technical
assistance
and
take
advantage
of
the
cost
share
programs.
Financial
incentives,
any
professional
that
works
in
the
energy
efficiency
field
will
tell
you
that
there
are
significant
barriers
to
keep
small
businesses
for
participating
in
efficiency
programs.
E
B
E
They
often
just
can't
afford
to
invest
or
to
borrow
the
cash
needed
upon
these
improvements.
The
green
business
cash
fare
program
is
an
important
tool
for
addressing
that
financial
barrier
over
the
past
year
that
we've
been
working
with
it
I've
seen
the
financial
incentive
available
through
this
program
make
it
tangible.
This
is
a
difference
and
the
decision-making
processes
that
businesses
go
through
when
they're
weighing
our
options.
E
Of
course,
additional
resources
are
needed
to
help
more
businesses,
become
aware
that
these
opportunities
exist
and
help
them
navigate
the
complicated
system
of
resources
that
is
out
there
to
help
them
I'd,
encourage
you
to
consider
how
investments
you
are
making
here
can
be
leveraged
and
extended
by
working
with
the
cities.
Many
business
district
partners,
such
as
lakes,
become
full
and
with
utility
funded
resources
like
energy,
smart
program.
E
We're
very
excited
is
to
work
with
you
on
this,
so
I
want
to
think
that
this
thing's
the
city
for
supporting
the
small
business
community
in
an
important
way
and,
of
course,
to
think
the
business
owners
that
are
here
today
and
those
that
we
work
with
for
helping
make
these
investments.
Of
course,
they
will
benefit
from
lower
energy
bills
over
the
coming
years,
but
we
all
benefit
from
their
presence
on
our
streets
and
the
actions
they've
taken
to
be
more
environmentally
sustainable.
Thank
you.
C
It's
so
year-to-date
the
this
is
the
patient
that
we've
reduced
so
far.
The
2017
numbers
are
projected
with
all
projects
completed.
These
are
the
criteria
pollutants.
These
directly
affect
the
pollutants
that
can
directly
affect
health
and
they
contribute
to
our
regional
air
quality
issues
with
ground-level
ozone
and
fine
particulate
emissions,
and
so,
as
you
can
see,
we
had
a
significant
jump
in
2017,
we've
exceeded
a
hundred
thousand
pounds
of
pollution
reduction
in
criteria,
pollutants
and
that's
50
tons.
C
We've
as
we're
talking
about
we've,
moved
into
energy
efficiency
and
energy
efficiency
and
solar,
specifically
with
renewables
and
in
about
a
year
of
this
program.
This
is
the
results.
One
point:
six
million
sorry,
sixteen
million
pounds
of
carbon
eliminated
that's
equivalent
to
about
1,500
cars
off
of
our
roads
in
terms
of
emissions
and
so
significant
reductions
in
co2
reduction,
as
well
so
the
Green
program
as
potential.
Thank
you
Nadia
for
humoring
me
with
this
picture.
C
It's
a
powerful
tool
to
address
pollution
and
climate
change.
It
can
be
it's
a
tool
that
can
be
used
to
meet
our
Minneapolis
clean
air
targets
in
getting
our
ground-level
ozone.
Fine,
particulate
air,
toxics
below
health
benchmarks
in
the
role
that
we
can
play
as
stewards
of
our
air.
It
can
help
through
clean
air
Minnesota
and
displaying
as
bill
mentioned
statewide
leadership
and
how
we
can
work
with
private
partners
to
address
air
pollution.
C
It's
a
tool
that
we
can
be
used
in
our
climate
action
plan
in
getting
to
30%
by
2025
in
co2
reductions
and
through
those,
as
Matt
mentioned,
to
the
Clean,
Energy,
Partnership
and
working
together
in
this,
the
recipe
is
simple:
it's
charging
for
the
cost
of
pollution.
It's
reinvesting
those
solutions
to
address
the
pollution
and
that's
a
catalyst
for
change
to
do
things
faster.
If
we
can
get
this
last
dry
cleaner
to
switch
over,
we
will
be
the
first
major
city
that
I
know
of
to
switch
away
from
perc
a
harmful,
hazardous
cancer-causing.
C
It's
a
one
win
everything
solution,
so
I
like
this
graphic
that
the
green
business
program
I'd
say
we
are
here,
it's
I'd
say:
last
year
we
stood
up
and
this
year
we're
starting
to
walk,
and
so
these
are
the
targets.
I
mentioned
some
of
those,
but
these
are
more
specific,
is
having
zero
days
over
health
benchmarks
for
air
quality.
C
C
They
reclaimed
discarded
trees
from
urban
neighborhoods
to
create
beautiful,
high
quality
wood
products,
and
they
are
very
cool,
King
I
think
the
awards
will
be
presented
by
City
Minneapolis,
commissioner
Gretchen,
music
and
I
believe
we
have
a
microphone
over
there
as
well
in
the
Helga,
and
so
we'll
have
a
few
words
from
the
business
owners
as
well.
I
know
that
trench
this
is
the
1st
2017
green
business
award
is
to
Allied
parking
and
I.
Don't
know
strands
ability
to
really
go
stand
up
like
depression.
C
Nation
and
that
threat
is
short
at
time,
so
I
had
to
go
first
appreciate
they
reduced
at
the
Gateway
ramp
on
400
South.
Third
Street
right
around
the
corner.
Here
they
reduce
energy
usage
of
the
facility
and
lowered
their
carbon
footprint
by
two
hundred
forty
seven
thousand
five
hundred
twenty
seven
pounds
of
co2.
That
project
is
equivalent
to
saving
twelve
thousand
over
twelve
thousand
gallons
of
gasoline
in
terms
of
carbon
emissions
and
as
an
added
benefit.
C
The
new,
lower
level
lighting
is
safer
and
there's
some
pictures
of
the
of
the
difference
between
the
two
projects
and
they
are
not
stopping
there.
As
I
know,
they
have
other
projects
that
they're
doing
around
the
city
like
this
and
I.
Think
the
one
that
they
have
slated
for
this
year
is
almost
double
the
impact
of
this
one.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
the
work
that
you're
doing
around
the
city
and
reducing
energy
usage.
C
C
They
were
so
excited
to
come
they're,
not
here.
Okay,
Samir
and
pinky
are
at
3101,
Minnehaha
Avenue,
there's
a
tent
dry
cleaner
to
switch
away
from
Kirk
in
Minneapolis,
and
they
were.
This
was
also
part
of
a
partnership
with
environmental
initiative
and
they
also
went
through.
They
made
this
huge
commitment
in
their
business
at
the
same
time
that
they
had
some
major
construction
going
on
on
Minnehaha
that
also
affected
their
business.
So
it
was
a
huge
investment
by
them
and
we're
very
grateful.
C
C
Clean
air
yep,
thank
you,
so
they
switch
away
from
Kirk
in
the
dry
cleaning
process.
Today
they
they
are
the
11th
dry,
cleaner
to
switch
away
from
Curt
in
Minneapolis,
and
they
were
able
to
make
that
decision
on
short
notice.
We
had
another
dry,
cleaner
drop
out
and
we
asked
if
they
were
interested
and
they
were
able
to
pull
things
around
in
a
month
or
maybe
a
little
over
a
month
which
is
supersonic
speed
and
trying
to
put
together
these
kinds
of
alterations
to
your
business.
G
Thank
you
to
the
city
for
helping
us
fund
our
new,
clean
machine.
This
is
my
daughter
and
she
has
done
some
advertising
and
some
work
and
some
thank
you
cell.
At
her
show
you
waited
bring
up
back
there
yeah.
We
did
some
advertising
the
spring
and
we
turned
all
green,
and
then
we
get
some
thank-you
from
this
from
the
Logan
Park
neighborhood.
It
was
really
nice,
but
this.
I
K
C
Darren
is
committed
to
continuous
efficiency
in
his
operations,
and
this
first
project
was
a
huge
one.
The
overall
reduction
in
energy
use
was
over
900,000
kilowatt
hours
and
that's
equivalent
to
taking
a
hundred
and
thirty-four
cars
off
the
road
with
the
single
project.
It
was
a
significant
investment
by
his
company
and
I
know.
He
also
is
looking
at
other
ways
that
they
can
improve
efficiency
and
look
at
air
quality
emission
reductions
at
their
facility,
so
he's
just
constant
looking
for
continuous
improvement.
So
thank
you
very
much.
If
you
have
a
few
words
one
says
yeah.
H
H
This
this
not
only
went
from
the
standpoint
of
it's
the
right
thing
to
do
from
the
energy
standpoint,
and
you
can
see
the
numbers
up
there,
but
it
also
improved
the
lighting
in
the
place
and
the
employee
morale.
So
it
made
a
significant
difference.
Customers
recognize
it.
Employees
recognize
it
and
yeah.
We
got
a
lot
more
on
the
table
to
do
so.
We're
looking
forward
to
it.
So
thank
you.
Thank
you.
L
C
And
I
didn't
know
this
before
this
project,
but
marcado
Central
has
a
long
history
as
the
first
Latino
cooperative
marketplace
in
Minnesota,
the
changes
were
made
at
mercado
central
were
equivalent
to
one
hundred
and
twenty
one
thousand
vehicle
passenger
miles
eliminated
in
a
year
in
our
city.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
your
work.
M
Good
afternoon
consume
members,
my
name
is
Miguel
Sanchez
I'm
behavior
they're
cooperative
of
my
cousin
trailer.
We
want
to
stand
or
gratitude
to
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
kosher,
oppose,
share,
grant
program
our
and
we
also
want
to
tend
to
lake
III
console
and
the
Xcel
Energy.
For
that
advice
and
support
and
collaboration.
Thank
you.
All
muchas
gracias.
C
The
next
business
is
Longfellow
market
I
believe
they
were
also
could
not
make
it
today
they
are
reducing
the
equivalent
of
sixty-two
thousand
pounds
of
carbon
with
their
energy
efficiency
upgrades
that
were
made
last
year,
that's
equivalent
to
about
four
homes
of
energy
use,
and
so
they
also
going
to
make
it
and
I
will
drop
that
award
out
for
them.
They
were
incredibly
busy
and
had
to
cancel
oh
and
I
just
want
to
point
out
with
those
two
pictures.
Not
only
is
are
we
talking
about
energy
efficiency
in
some
of
these
businesses
is.
C
If
you
look
at
the
light
in
the
top
picture
in
the
back
row,
that's
circled
there.
That's
out
one
of
the
big
advantages
of
switching
to
LED
light
for
a
lot
of
business
owners
is
the
maintenance,
that's
required
to
change
out
light
bulbs,
not
quite
that
big,
but
other
light
bulbs
that
are
that
I
needed
to
change
out.
So
it's
a
it's
a
saving
in
time
as
well.
The
last
one
is
t'keyah
de
la
Hacienda
at
334,
East,
Lake,
Street,
Miguel
and
Azucena.
C
C
It's
one
of
the
first
businesses
or
the
first
business
on
lakes
recorder
to
install
a
demand,
controlled
ventilation
system
and
la
tienda
in
their
application,
wanted
to
serve
as
an
advocate
for
it
and
other
energy
efficiency
technologies,
and
it
certainly
is
a
technology
or
an
offer
we
will
take
you
up
on
is
it's
a
way
for
businesses
to
save
both
heat
and
electricity
to
the
demand
system,
and
it
was
a
very
unique
project
and
we'd
love
to
have
other
businesses.
Look
at
that
as
a
as
a
model.
C
N
N
It
is
because
I've
done
saving
about
five
thousand
dollars
every
year
on
energy
bills,
electricity
and
gas,
but
not
only
that
I
think
is
I.
Think
the
most
important
things
here
is
the
very
few
skills
that
we
are
in
the
environment,
yeah
also
I,
wanna,
I,
wanna,
say
thank
you
to
Matthew
and
how
this
informal,
a
story,
council
and
grace-
was
crazy
on
Minnesota
Chamber
of
Commerce
that
they
helped
me
in
the
process
in
order
to
make
a
reality
this
project.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
C
So
these
were
the
top
projects
we
had
other
projects.
The
honorable
mentions
village
at
Franklin
station
Cedar,
Riverside,
liquor,
mexicana,
Minnesota,
Council
of
Churches
Qatar,
River
restaurant
Chappell
market
and,
if
I'm
butchering
any
of
these
names,
please
let
me
know
st.
Vincent
de
Paul
best
for
less
tires:
volkswagen
man,
the
lift
garage
and
midcontinent.
I
want
to
thank
all
of
them
for
their
contributions
as
well.
C
Like
I
said
earlier,
the
reductions
that
they
had
from
from
all
of
these
projects
has
reduced
a
significant
amount
of
pollution
in
Minneapolis,
both
well
in
our
neighborhoods,
and
the
pollution
that
contributes
to
regional
air
quality
issues
so
and
I
find
myself
with
this
program.
It's
hard
to
thank
enough
people
for
everything,
but
I
will
wrap
this
up.
I
want
to
thank
Gretchen
music
and
for
trusting
her
employees
to
to
lead
programs
like
this
dann
Huff
were
helping
bring
these
programs
forward
year
in
and
year
out,
to
get
them
in
the
budget
as
a
priority.
C
Nadya
Cohn,
who,
as
you
as
you
heard
from
some
of
these
folks
here,
that
carries
a
lot
of
the
weight
of
this
program
and
does
an
amazing
job
of
getting
getting
everything
processed
and
out
the
door
along
with
subway
but
Kelly,
who
also
take
administers
a
lot
of
our
contracts
and
and
does
a
lot
of
work
in
that
area.
Jim
Doulton
for
his
technical
assistance
and
starting
out
with
a
dry
cleaning
program,
Jenny
Lansing
for
the
air
quality
of
the
technical
expertise
and
going
in
and
doing
air
quality
sampling.
C
We
have
some
data
that
is
going
to
be
very
valuable
for
other
cities
as
they
look
at
addressing
some
of
these
issues.
Kati
Schmidt
for
going
out
there
and
getting
projects
in
through
our
benchmarking
program
and
our
larger
buildings
here
in
Minneapolis,
she's,
a
lot
of
energy
and
no
pun
intended
and
does
a
great
job
of
looking
at
our
our
project
in
seeing
which
ones
are
viable
and
getting
the
most
bang
for
about
what
I
think
Kelly
momen
for
the
green
zones
and
adding
an
equity
lens
to
the
program
through
the
green
zones.
C
In
in
how
we
can
address
equity
in
Minneapolis,
with
this
program,
Erika
Prosser
for
first
listening
to
this
program
and
for
getting
Mayor,
RT
Rybak
to
sit
down
and
listen
to
the
program
in
the
first
place
and
then
I
want
to
thank
all
of
you
it's
in
supporting
this
program
over
the
last
five
to
six
years
now
it's
been
a
great
trip
and
I
hope
that
we
didn't
keep
going
and
keep
getting
some
significant,
quantifiable
results
here
in
Minneapolis.
So
thank
you
very
much.
I'm
very
grateful.
A
Well,
thank
you
better
occur
once
again,
a
wonderful
presentation.
Congratulations
all
the
Award
winners,
hearing
that
it
who
aren't
you
really
appreciate
your
partnership
and
doing
this
and
not
only
benefits
your
businesses,
but
also
the
health
of
our
city.
I,
don't
see
any
comments
or
questions
so
and
I
think
we
and
I
guess
we
can
move
to
receive
the
presentation,
all
those
in
favor
say
aye
any
opposed
all
right.
Well,
thank
you.
So
much.
Thank
you.

O
I
I
We're
here
to
present
the
2016
and
the
report
of
the
Public
Health
Advisory
Committee,
our
committee
is
made
up
of
20
members,
who
represents
you
toured
in
Minneapolis
with
one
representative,

County
Public
Health
Department.
We
also
have
three
members
at
large
appointed
by
the
committee.
I
Each
year
the
committee
conducts
a
member
survey
to
help
set
priorities
for
learning
and
discussion
and
to
consider
possible
recommendations
to
the
Minneapolis
Health
Department
and
to
the
City
Council.
Any
priorities
provide
direction
to
agenda
planning.
Agenda
planning
is
also
influenced
by
input
from
the
health
department
regarding
programs
and
initiatives
from
City,
Council
members,
other
city
departments
or
or
neighborhood
concerns
and
a
professional
perspectives
of
committee
members.
I
Monthly
meetings
are
held
in
City
Hall
from
6
to
8
p.m.
on
the
4th
Tuesday
of
each
month,
as
scheduled
meetings
alternate
between
full
committee
meetings,
where
we
often
hear
presentations
and
various
topics
and
subcommittee
meetings
where
discussion
or
other

as
directed
by

Advisory
Committee
committees
were
asked
to
study
this
issues
develop
a
set
of
recommendations.
A
report
back
to
your
committee,
which
occur
in
February
2017.
I
Ok,
the
public
at
the
Health
Advisory
Committee
often
acts
as
a
sounding
board
for
help

agenda,
which
included
fair

item,
the
Public
Health
Advisory

further
studied
the
issue
and
took
action
to
support
this
effort.

Our

have
remained
unchanged
for

O
The
availability
of
affordable

is
scarce,
creating
a
competitive

market
among
the
most
vulnerable
Minneapolis
residents
in
2015,
the

reported
a
gap
in

A
proposal
for
the
development
of
a

Advisory
Committee
was
presented
to
council
members
Gordon
and

and
discussed
in
a
meeting
which
included
staff
from
a
cross-section
of
city
departments
and

O
Member

Council
members
been

suggested
delaying
for
the
discussion
on
this
proposal,
given
the
comprehensive
planning
process,
which
was
about
to
begin
housing
could
be
worked
into

Additionally,
there
was
much

work
underway
between

The
public

continues
to
see
a
gap
in
this
area
and
would
like
to
revive
this
proposal
and
discussion.

The

In
December
of

hosted
by
a

that
report
here
to

It
was
a
great
opportunity
to
connect
with
other
committee
members,
discuss
ways
to
engage
the
Civic
process
and
see
how
our
work
might
align
between
various
committees.
O
Some
of
our
highlights
for

continue
our
responsibilities
that
were
charged
with,
which
include
advising
the
City,

Department
and
discussing
health

We
also
plan
to
engage
future
decision-makers
by
mentoring,
our
new

members,
welcoming
student
guests
at
our

and
inviting
presentations
from

O
Thank
you
we'd
like
to
remind
you
that
our

This
concludes
our
presentation,
but
we're
happy
to
stand
for
questions.
A
Thank
you
very
much.
I
certainly
appreciate
all
the
the
work
that
you
did
over
the
year
and
also
the
report
I
wonder
if
I
could
just
stop
for
a
minute
on
the
issue
of
the
Housing
Committee,
because
I
noticed
you
emphasize
that
a
few
times
in
the
report
and
that
we
didn't
create
it
and
maybe
there's
a
chance
to
revisit
that.
One
of
the
things
that's
been
discussed
elsewhere
is
actually
a
some
kind
of
tenants,
Support
Committee
or
something
that
would
actually
be
more
focused
on
rental
property.
A
I
know
that
we
worked
on
this
for
a
while
with
regulatory
with
another
department,
and
there
were
some
community
groups
and
discussions.
We
also
have
a
rental
housing,
Advisory
Committee,
but
it's
an
advisory
to
staff
kind
of
an
internal
group,
and
it
has
somebody
from
the
multifamily
housing
Association
on
it
and
I.
Think
one
of
the
tricky
things
is.
This
committee
doesn't
necessarily
deal
with
how
issues
it's
another
committee
with
another
chair
and
went
to
work
with
that.
A
I
I
can
address
that
chair,
Gordon
and
members
of
the
committee.
My
background
is
in
public
health
nutrition.
What
I
see
is
when
people
spend
fifty
sixty
percent
of
their
household
budget
on
housing,
regardless
of
being
a
renter
or
a
homeowner.
They
have
little
money
left
for
food
for
utilities,
for
doctor
bills
and
well.
I
was
a
renter
for
many
many
years,
and
I
really
appreciate
the
effort
to
have
a
tenant
Council
a
renters
council,
just
just
an
awareness
that
sometimes
even
a
homeowner's
also
can
have
problems
with
them.
O
M
O
Then
I
guess
one
other
a
couple
of
other
thoughts.
One
thought
is
is
that
you
know
part
of
this
is
born
out
of
many
different
groups
that
come
to
the
Public
Health
Advisory
Committee,
that
talk
about
housing,
instability
really
impacting
the
work
that
they're
doing,
even
if
it's
lead-based
paint
when
people
are
coming
and
saying
I,
don't
want
to
report
that
my
landlord
isn't
doing
this
or
that
my
house.
It
doesn't
have
this
because
I'm
not
going
to
be
able
to
afford
housing
and
I'm
going
to
lose
this
place.
O
So
I,
don't
know
that
particularly
renters
rights,
I,
don't
know
how
the
how
it
currently
is
set
up.
If
that's
able
to
gather
all
of
the
impact
that
housing,
instability
and
insecurity
has
on
individuals
in
our
community
and
then
also
we've
heard.
A
lot
are
the
agenda
that
we
set
as
the
Public
Health
Advisory
Committee
was
really
to
look
at
the
impact
and
the
layers
of
homelessness
and
mental
health
and
how
that
impacts.
O
A
Sounds
like
probably
it
wouldn't,
but
there
may
be
some
kind
of
synergy
if
we
thought
it
would
meet
another
need.
It's
a
big
lift
to
create
a
new
Advisory
Committee
for
the
city.
I
will
say
that
I
think
most
of
us
were
just
at
a
joint
meeting
with
the
Met
Council
and
we
spent
90
minutes
talking
about
the
hope,
maybe
I'm
summarizing
it
wrong.
But
how
challenging
it's
been
to
have
any
impact
on
the
problem
of
a
housing
affordability?
The
trend
is
just
going
in
the
wrong
direction,
so
I
think
the
need
is
growing.
P
So
not
only
is
there
a
decreased
number
of
sizeable
units
that
allow
for
a
family
and
extended
family,
perhaps
someone
who's
caring
for
a
grandparent
or
an
in-law,
but
then
also
the
fact
that
any
affordable
housing
that's
out.
There
is
really
creating
kind
of
this
competitive
market
among
the
people
that
need
to
be
able
to
afford
those
or
need
to
be
able
to
secure
that
type
of
housing.
So,
with
the
decreased
amount
of
units
available
and
then
also
the
sizes
of
the
units,
you
know
are
not
always
applicable
to
what
a
particular
family
needs.
P
It
really
creates
this
kind
of
competitive
market
among
the
people
that
really
can't
afford
the
amount
of
deposit
or,
first
and
last
rental,
or
that
kind
of
huge
expense
upfront.
So
we
know
that
it's
a
complicated
issue,
but
at
the
same
time,
that's
really
what
our
committee
is
charged
with
is
bringing
up
the
issues
that
are
seen
within
our
community
and
that's
one
that
this
committee
continues
to
hear
from
over.
You
have
different
sources.
J
You
mr.
chair,
you
know,
I
just
wanted
to
kind
of
echo
what
the
chair
said,
which
was
I,
think
I'm
somewhere
Gorman
I
actually
really
liked
the
idea
of
creating
her
the
advisory
committee.
That
was
multidisciplinary,
but
there
was
a
lot
of
internal
perspective
that
particularly
the
interdisciplinary
nature
of
the
committee
being
imagined
and
a
lot
of
competing
ideas
from
council
members
and
staff
about
whether
or
not
we
should
have
won
and
who
should
staff
it
and
what
kind
of
committee
it
should
be
and
who
should
be
on
it
and
so
I
think.
J
Maybe
we
were
just
of
the
many
things
that
we
decided
to
prioritize
that
we
get
pushback
on.
We
just
one
didn't
make
it
so.
Maybe
we
should've
privatized
it
more
but
I
mean
I.
Think
it's
a
good
idea.
Clearly,
housing!
Affordability
is
our
city's.
Probably
number
one
policy
concern
right
now,
so
it
just
has
to
be
a
matter
of
getting
the
support
in
the
council,
the
full
council
to
to
create
a
new
committee.
J
If
that's
the
solution
that
we
think
is
going
to
really
advance
the
conversation
again,
I
think
it's
a
great
idea
to
have
it.
Be
able
to
put
that
multidisciplinary
conversation
I
think
part
of
that
is
happening
in
the
comprehensive
plan.
It
wasn't
meant
to
suggest
that
that
was
you
know
the
replacements
were
for
a
standing
committee,
but
it
was
just
one
way:
I
think
that
conversation
could
come
forward.
Despite
the
fact
we
weren't
able,
at
the
time
to
get
consensus
in
the
council
about
creating
this
kind
of
committee.
L
Thank
You,
chair
Gordon,
so
first
of
all,
I
appreciate
the
very
thorough
update
and
Sara.
You
and
I
have
had
a
chance
to
have
several
exchanges
on
email
about
the
work
that
the
committee
is
doing
and
the
Commission
and
so
I
really
appreciate
it,
because
it
makes
me
feel
like
there's
some
real-time
interface
to
the
work
that
council
is
touching
and
the
work
that
the
Commission
is
doing.
So
I
really
appreciate
that
engaged
activism
to
really
ensure
that
we're
aligning
the
conversations
that
are
happening
through
this
resident
driven
voice
and
then
us
as
policymakers.
L
So
I
just
want
to.
Thank
you
for
that,
because
I've
been
really
impressed
with
the
the
relevancy
of
the
work
that
you're
bringing
forward
the
last
sort
of
conversation
that
we
had
was
around
them
and
the
lack
of
available
shelters
for
folks,
and
there
were
sort
of
them.
I.
Think
like
a
moment
in
time
where
there
were
no
available
beds
for
many
people,
and
so
there
was,
you
know,
conversation
between
Commissioner
Mary
and
green
myself
and
some
other
folks
here.
I'm
just
curious
is
that
is
the
Commission
going
to
be
taking
that
up
more
formally.
L
O
Annually
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
we
have
a
certain
amount
of
beds
that
are
Gelder
beds
that
are
available
over
the
winter
months
and
then
a
certain
amount
that
are
available
over
the
summer
months
and
that's
a
consistent,
that's
consistent.
This
year
we
have
a
little
bit
different
ability
to
track
data
and
to
really
point
out
the
inefficiencies,
as
well
as
to
point
out
the
vulnerabilities,
the
lack
of
available
shelter
beds
and
then
there's
some
other
nuances
about
choice
when
people
are
experiencing
homelessness.
O
If
there
are
certain
agencies
or
certain
places
where
they
aren't
feeling
safe,
there's
some
different
trends
beyond
just
data
inefficiencies.
So
what
we
know
is
is
that
we
don't
have
sufficient
shelter
beds.
Currently,
the
practice
would
be
if
you
would
call
probably
around
9:30
each
day,
there's
no
more
male
beds
available
and
usually
by
about
2:00,
there's
no
female
beds
available,
and
they
do
have
data.
O
You
know
so
to
kind
of
track
that
now
that
we're
able
to
do
that,
there
was
some
question
around
I
believe
it
was
related
to
funding
for
the
city
of
Minneapolis.
Has
some
flexibility
around
some
funding,
but
I
think
that
that
ship
has
sailed,
I,
think
that
the
time
for
this
year,
we're
probably
too
late
to
make
any
changes
around
it.
But
I
do
anticipate
that
that
will
continue
to
be
a
trend,
especially
during
that
that
may
1st
deadline
when
the
winter
bets
go
offline.
That
will
continue
to
have
that
bump.
O
L
If
there's
a
time
where
we
can
dig
a
little
bit
more
into
this
into
this
topic,
because
I
know
that
was
really
difficult.
You
know
when
we
were
all
trying
to
figure
out
what
to
do
with
that
at
that
specific
moment,
but
having
more
forward-looking
plans
and
conversations
around
this
I
think
would
be
helpful
for
us
to
figure
out
you.
O
You
share
Gordon
and
councilmembers
I
think
that
there
would
be
a
big
interest
within
our
committee
for
folks
to
you
know
collaborate
in
any
way
that
was,
you
know
clickable
both
with
if
I
can't
remember
the
acronym
c-pen
earth,
the
Community
Development
yeah.
That's
a
long
one
we'd
love
to
do
that
as
well.
As
you
know,
other
I
do
know
that
within
the
homeless
community
there's
some
listening
sessions
that
are
coming
up
for
people
that
are
feeling
particularly
less
safe.
O
A
Discussing
and
the
fact
that-
and
it
might
not
even
be
necessarily
too
late
this
year,
we
did
go
out
with
the
request
for
proposals
and
we'll
see
what
comes
back
to
spend
those.
But
if
there
aren't
enough
requests
to
spend
that
on
the
operating
kind
of
side
of
it,
I
understand,
there's
also
a
little
tug
of
war
with
the
county
going
on,
because
they're
not
willing
to
expend
the
money
to
keep
even
one
of
the
winter
shelters
wanted
to
stay
open
longer
and
was
ready
to,
but
they
couldn't
get
funding
to
do
so.
B
You
mr.
chair,
so
councilmember
Cano
I
stole
the
words
out
of
my
mouth.
I.
I.
Do
think
that
you
should.
We
would
love
to
have
you
at
the
CDRs
meeting
and
please
contact
one
or
both
of
our
offices
in
the
near
future.
So
we
can
hopefully
get
you
on
the
docket
I
think
there's
some
opportunities
for
some
additional
flexibility
of
the
federal
funding,
as
well
as
even
potentially
city
and
county
funding,
as
well
I
mean
I,
can't
think
of
an
issue,
that's
more
critical.
So
thank
you
for
your
work.
Thank.
O
A
That's
quite
an
invitation.
I'd
also
say
that
that
would
be
a
committee
where
we've
made
a
lot
of
sense
to
talk
about
creating
a
housing
Advisory
Committee,
because
the
Community
Development
Committee
to
certainly
housing
is
more
germane,
not
that
we,
we
know
there
isn't
health
in
all
policies
going
on
here
at
the
city
and
everywhere
else,
but
that's
really
where
a
lot
of
the
housing
issues
get
discussed.
I,
don't
see
any
other
comments
or
questions
up
here.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
presentation.
Thank.
M
A
Think
I'll
just
move
to
receive
and
file
the
report.
Then
all
those
in
favor
say
aye
any
opposed
motion
carries
and
then
we'll
move
on
to
our
next
discussion
item,
which
is
a
presentation
of
our
blueprint
for
equitable
engagement,
dashboard
and
I.
Think
we
have
mr.
Johnson's
going
to
take
this,
take
the
lead
and
so
those
we're
ready
so
take
whatever
time.
You
need
I
know
that
we
also
on
council
members.
A
A
Maybe,
while
you're
getting
set
up
I'll
just
take
this
opportunity
to
formally
move
the
last
item
on
the
agenda
which
Ana,
which
I've
attempted
to
move
earlier
in
the
consent
item.
So
I'm
going
to
move
item
number
10
the
permit
requirements
for
amplified
sound
equipment,
ordinance
back
to
staff.
That's
at
the
request
of
the
ordinances,
author
and
staff.
Think
that's
reasonable
too,
to
keep
working
on
any
discussion
on
that.
All
those
in
favor
say
aye
all.
A
K
Q
Q
So
the
dashboard
powered
by
tableau
is
a
data-driven
report
for
that
direction.
On
the
blueprint
for
Echo
engagement
strategies
that
was
adopted
by
council
back
in
May
2016
as
a
friendly
reminder,
the
blueprint
for
equal
engagement
is
a
five-year
strategy
to
ensure
that
we
are
thinking
about
implementing
innovative
and
equitable
engaged
engagement
strategies
for
the
city
of
Minneapolis.
The
NCR
department
is
going
to
use
the
plan
to
better
engage
all
of
our
residents
for
a
better
Minneapolis
into
the
align
to
the
one
Minneapolis
goal
on
the
national
level.
Q
We
believe
that
align
to
the
blueprint
for
equal
engagement
strategies,
you
could
actually
come
up
with
some
pretty
impactful
measures
and
metrics,
and
we
thought
this
would
be
a
good
opportunity
to
also
highlight
some
of
the
programs
and
projects
that
the
NCR
department
has
underway
in
partnership
with
other
departments
across
the
enterprise,
from
both
a
quantitative
and
qualitative
perspective.
We
have
done
extensive
research
to
other
use
of
US
cities
and
we
feel
that
that
this
is
a
good
step
first
step,
but
in
of
course,
we
feel
this
is
a
work
in
progress.
Q
Q
He
made
the
magic
happen
he
kind
of
ran
with
it.
Tablo
is
a
newer
tool
that
it's
use
is
proliferating
across
the
enterprise,
but
I
was
just
really
impressed
by
he.
Never
being
trained
on
tableau
was
able
to
really
come
up
with
some
pretty
neat
visualizations
that
I'm
going
to
you
through
so
kudos
EU
I
also
want
to
thank
the
city
coordinator,
results
team.
That's
not
here,
led
by
Andrea
Larsen.
Q
Q
Q
So
the
first
equitably
prefer
equal
engagement
strategy
is
to
expand
community
engagement
strategies.
This
strategy
will
guide
the
department
in
developing
and
promoting
engagement
strategies
that
will
pique
the
interest
of
all
residents
the
chart
that
you're
looking
at
shows
our
diversity
for
appointed
boards
and
commissions
from
2014
to
2016.
Q
We
are
tracking
this.
We
track
these
metrics
in
comparison
to
city
demographics,
based
on
the
2014
American
census
survey.
Please
don't
from
a
diversity
perspective.
We
actually
have
one
other
category
which
is
on
our
LGBT
lgbtqa+
community,
but
because
there
isn't
a
city
demographic
to
compare
that
to
that's
why
it
was
excluded.
Q
As
you
can
see,
the
data
at
the
leftmost
area
of
the
chart
suggests
that
we
are
have
strong
representation,
whether
you're
looking
at
from
looking
at
it
from
a
gender
disability
or
age
perspective.
We
have
seen
some
improvement
from
2014
to
2016
when
you
look
at
your
income
and
your
people
of
color
categories
and
as
well
as
in
education,
where
there
is
an
opportunity
to
provide
more
focus
and
attention
is
looking
at
our
renter
representation
on
our
appointed
boards
and
Commission.
Q
Improvement
on
survey
results,
but
we
do
think
that
we
can
actually
contribute
to
improving
perceptions
to
a
certain
degree
as
an
NCR
Department.
The
2016
resident
survey
report
suggested
a
digital
divide.
When
you
consider
the
geographic
areas
of
North,
Minneapolis
and
Phillips,
we
found
that
there
were
more
residents
that
completed
the
2016
resident
survey
via
the
mail
in
response
versus
online.
Q
We
think
the
key
takeaways,
as
you
can
see
in
measure
1.2
that
the
city
from,
of
course
the
perception
is
the
city
actually
operates
ethically
with
openness
and
transparency.
However,
there
is
an
opportunity
to
address
how
there
is
Anna
gasps,
there's
a
gap
in
resident
perception
on
how
they
can
actually
influence
how
decisions
are
made
at
the
city
that
directly
impact
their
lives.
In
the
next
act
cycle
of
the
resident
survey.
We
now
have
a
benchmark
that
we
can
compare
and
track
progress
against.
Q
So,
moving
on
to
strategy,
2
and
I'm
just
going
to
read
it
off
real
quickly
the
support
of
strong,
vibrant
and
functional
neighborhood
organizations.
This
strategy
ensures
that
the
department
and
neighborhood
organizations
are
working
together
to
find
creative
ways
to
engage
cultural
communities
in
our
city
and
to
help
neighborhood
neighbor
organizations
function
seamlessly.
Q
The
graph
to
the
left
shows
you
allocations
from
2014
to
2016,
for
both
the
neighborhood
revitalization
program,
as
well
as
the
community
participation
program
funding
you
could
see.
The
lion's
share
during
this
period
was
allocated
for
the
day-to-day
operational
costs
from
for
running
neighborhood
associations,
you're
talking
about
salaries
for
your
leadership
and
staff
as
well
as
what's
needed
for
communications,
whether
you're
talking
about
their
newsletters
event,
promotion
and
Prevention
'el
services,
that's
all
baked
into
that
first
category
at
the
top
neighborhood
organization
administration.
Q
Q
Where
could
where
they
were
community
dialogues,
where
we
went
out
to
specific
sectors
with
it
with
throughout
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
to
ask
what
is
the
role
of
neighborhoods
and
what
could
their
roles
be?
It's
starting
in
2020
and
Beyond
and
how
could
they
best
represent
and
serve
residents
throughout
the
city?
We
will
at
the
next
step,
we
will
compile
the
results
from
the
neighborhood
2020
cafe,
dialogues
and
we
will
come
up
with
a
recommendation,
a
report
and
a
recommendation
to
City
Council
in
2018.
Q
So
similar
to
what
you
saw
in
the
appointed
boards
and
commissions,
we
also
track
diversity
on
our
neighborhood
boards.
We
believe
that
board
members
are
the
decision-makers,
they're,
the
ones
that
that
are
very
much
decide
how
allocation
in
a
big
way
they
decide
on
allocations,
governance,
financial
decisions,
personnel,
so
it
was
important
to
weave
now
two
years
running
have
been
tracking,
specifically
neighborhood
board
diversity.
Q
Looking
at
the
data
you
can
see,
we
are
good
in
the
categories
of
age
income
and
gender.
We
have
seen
improvement
in
a
disability
category
pretty
pretty
pretty
meaningfully,
but
more
intense
in
resources.
We
feel
needs
to
be
given
to
board
diversity
from
not
only
a
people
of
color,
but
also
a
renter
standpoint.
Q
As
you
can
see
they,
these
two
categories
essentially
did
not
improve.
Since
2014,
the
neighborhood's
2020s,
cafe,
I,
like
to
mention,
were
also
coupled
with
dialogues
where
we
actually
engaged
cultural
communities
that
didn't
necessarily
show
up
to
these
neighborhood
2020
cafes
and
the
numbers
that
we
would
like
to
see.
I'm
referring
to
our
East
African
Native
American
and
our
South
East
Asian
communities.
We
did
this
to
ensure
that
the
conversations
were
culturally
appropriate
and
we
were
meeting
these
communities
where
they
were
at.
Q
We
also
feel
that
now
that
we
have
a
baseline
in
2016,
we
now
have
two
levers
that
we
could
pull.
We
can
either
increase
the
recruitment
of
more
diverse
board
members
to
our
neighborhood
associations
and
organizations.
That
speaks
is
diversity
piece.
The
inclusivity
piece,
which
is
the
second
lever
in
my
opinion,
is
about
improving
the
retention,
so
you
have
folks
that
join
neighborhood
boards.
Some
have
brief
10
years
some
have
longer,
but
we
want
to
make
sure
that
they
feel
included,
and
what
does
that
mean?
A
I
just
want
to
ask
a
quick
question
about
this:
the
graph
to
understand
it
better.
So
if
you
get
a
hundred
percent
in
these,
that
means
that
our
the
diversity
and
that
matched
perfectly
the
citywide
diversity
and
so
got
on
a
percent
so
and
we
say
that
it's
29
percent
off
on
the
own
versus
rent,
we're
not
quite
sure
direction
it's
off
or
how
it's
off.
Our
assumption
here
is
going
to
be
that
well,
there's
a
large
gap,
and
mostly
we
have
homeowners,
probably
who
are
on
the
boards.
Q
Will
chair
Borden
and
committee
members
no
problem,
so
I
decided
to
switch
back
to
the
ABC
boards
because
I?
That's
where
I
have
the
calculation,
so
the
color
coding
system
is
used
to
show
how
close
we
are
to
specific
thresholds.
So
green
means
that
you
are
within
eighty
percent
or
above
the
city
demographic
when
you're
in
orange.
That's
between
forty
and
seventy
nine
percent
of
the
city
gets
demographic
zero
to
thirty
percent
means
you're,
not
tracking
well
against
the
city,
demographics.
Q
So,
for
example,
if
we
look
at
people
of
color,
the
math
is
actually
gold,
as
so
we
knew
that
amongst
our
appointed
boards
and
commissions
about
twenty
percent,
twenty
nine
percent
with
people
of
color.
You
take
that
and
you
divide
that
by
seventy
nine
percent.
I'm.
Sorry,
thirty,
thirty,
nine
percent-
that
is
the
people
of
color
demographic
for
the
2014
American
service,
American
census
survey,
and
you
come
up
with
seventy
four
percent.
Q
A
A
A
So
especially
when
you
get
to
something
like
own
versus
rent
or
even
when
you
got
to
people
of
color,
because
then
you
could
actually
see.
Oh,
it's
predominantly
white
or
whatever
and
there's
other
some
groups
are
represented.
Well,
another
sign
and
it
looks
like
on
the
dashboard
we're
not
at
that
point
yet
so.
Q
Could
be
amended
pretty
easily,
so
what
we
could
so
I
just
want
to
clarify
what
you
just
said.
So
what
you
would
like
to
see
not
only
for
the
appointed
boards
Commission's,
but
as
well
as
the
neighborhood
board
graphs.
We
would
like
to
see
kind
of
how
that
compares
what
is
kind
of
that
variance
between
where
they
stand
versus
that
city
demographic,
all
in
one
graph.
Well,.
A
F
A
A
H
K
Garden
and
council
member
of
better,
we
actually
don't
get
that
data
out,
simply
because
it's
potentially
revealing
very
specific
information
about
an
individual.
It's
too
easy
to
identify
it.
So
we
provided
in
a
calm,
aggregated
level.
We
do
have
it
disaggregated
on
a
regional
level
in
the
city,
but
we
don't
go
more
than
we
have
my
gave
regions
in
the
city.
I
think
we
use
the
mTEC
districts
right.
Well,
we
don't
break
it
down
below
that.
I
guess.
J
J
J
Do
we
know
if,
if
we're
doing
better
or
worse
or
the
same
as
across
the
city
than
just
a
second
observation,
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
barriers
to
participation,
no
question
but
I,
see
in
my
in
my
ward,
which
is
80%.
Renter
I
have
two
neighborhoods
that
are
90%,
renter
renters
run
for
the
board
and
they
don't
get
elected,
and
so
I
just
want
to
just
observe
that
you
know.
Recruitment
is
obviously
an
issue
in
some
neighborhoods,
I'm
sure
and
other
there's
lots
of
dynamics
going
on.
J
But
we
have
an
underlying
issue
that
even
when
people
want
to
get
involved,
they're
not
sort
of
making
it
making
the
cut
for
whatever
reasons
or
whatever
the
dried
and
dynamics
that
are
happening,
they're
not
being
included
in
the
board.
So
that's
just
something
I
wanted
to
consider
as
we
look
at
policy
ideas
or
guidelines
that
we
may
have
again
for
either
neighbors
at
a
90
percent.
J
A
Well
and
I
also
observed
when
we
were
doing
this
before
that:
you'll
have
different
demographics
in
different
parts
of
the
city
and
we're
basing
our
goal
on
the
city,
demographic
which
might
apply
to
one
neighborhood
really
accurately,
but
to
another
one.
It
wouldn't
necessarily
so
having
the
expectation,
for
example,
that
you'd
get
I
mean
I.
Guess
it's
wrong,
because
your
neighborhood
figured
out
how
to
have
mostly
homeowners
on
it,
your
example,
but
some
expectation
if
it
was
really
skewed
in
a
certain
direction.
A
If
90%
of
the
people
were
over
50
and
then
we
kept
going
back
to
them
and
saying
we're
expecting
you
to
have
50
percent
people
who
are
under
25,
because
that's
our
demographic
or
whatever,
we
would
really
be
a
burden
to
put
on
that
one
neighborhood,
given
their
demographics
and
I,
don't
know
what
the
the
answer
without
sharing
it
might
be
to
for
us
to
do
a
little
of
that
work
to
share
with
them.
What
the
demographics
of
your
neighborhood
are.
I
mean
we
get
that
from
wilder.
Who
does
it
for
us?
A
I
mean
that's
available,
come
and
help
them
develop
goals.
It
seems
like.
Ideally,
we
could
share
some
of
that
information
except
you're
right.
We
could
give
up
personal
information
and
then
people
would
quit
bullyin
out
the
survey
because
they
feel
like
they
would
be
disclosed,
maybe
in
a
way
that
they
didn't
want.
What.
K
The
chair,
Gordon
and
combs
members
like
to
address
a
little
bit
of
that
I
do
take
the
the
advice
that
you
were
handing
out
seriously.
We,
the
information
when
we
break
it
down
into
the
regions
of
the
city,
really
is
for
the
purpose
of
looking
at
regional
variances
within
the
city
or
district
variances
within
the
city.
So
we
can
do
a
little
better
comparative
on-call
neighborhoods
within
that
district
are
doing.
K
That
gives
us
an
idea
where
we
need
to
spend
some
more
of
our
time,
but
on
an
individual,
neighborhood
level,
the
data
is
of
the
census.
Data
in
the
demographic
data
for
the
community
is
available
in
the
boards
of
each
of
the
neighborhood
organizations
know
who
they
have
there.
They
don't
really
need
the
survey
data
to
to
validate
that.
In
essence,
we
work
with
them
and
develop,
develop
individual
plans
in
order
to
create
goals
around
which
particular
communities
and
how
we
can
help
them.
Do
that
or
achieve
those
goals.
K
I
will
say
to
the
director
deputy
director
John's
point
there.
The
the
notion
around
retention
is
a
big
issue
and
that
we
are
seeing
that
people
that
do
get
elected
even
it's
hard
having
a
difficult
time
for
them
to
be
for
them
to
retain
so
there's
a
number
of
kind
of
factors.
We're
working
on
I
also
want
to
assure
you
that
we
have
been
doing
an
extensive
amount
of
research
with
other
cities
around
the
country.
K
This
is
a
fairly
common
phenomena
across
the
United
States,
Seattle
and
Portland
are
trying
a
couple
different
experiments
right
now,
we're
working
with
them
and
kind
of
tracking
what
they're
doing
as
well
we're
trying
different
strategies
as
well
as
ourselves,
and
we'll
keep
you
updated
as
those
move
forward
and
whether
they
have
policy
implications
or
programmatic.
They
keep
you
updated
on
that
as
well.
Q
So
for
strategy,
three
and
I'm
just
going
to
read
this
again:
sorry
for
the
first
time
increase
the
capacity
of
neighborhood
interest
committee
engagement
efforts
by
working
with
community
partners.
This
strategy
will
help
determine
a
Health
Department,
rather
look
at
ways
to
expand,
successful
partnerships
that
are
in
line
with
the
goals
of
the
blueprint
document
and
the
city
goal
of
one
Minneapolis.
Q
This
compelled
us
the
track
and
it
was.
We
were
fortunate
enough
that
we
have
actually
been
tracking
this
for
quite
some
time,
I'm
the
annual
attendance
at
the
Community
Connections
Conference
for
the
graph
to
the
left
measure
3.1.
You
can
see
a
consistent
upward
trend
that
we
are
proud
to
report
as
accumulated
in
a
record-setting
record-setting
attendance
record
in
in
2017,
of
which
the
highest
percentage
of
attendance
from
our
communities
cup
color
was
achieved
at
42
percent,
which
is
a
12
percent
growth
over
the
previous
year
in
2016,
which
was
30
percent.
Q
So
continuing
on
strategy
3,
we
track
outcomes
per
the
one
Minneapolis
fund,
which
provides
resources
to
community
and
cultural
organizations
for
projects
that
one
develop
leaders
and
engage
community
and
specific
targeted
audiences
increase
number
two
increase:
involvement
in
community
and
city
leadership
structures
and
three
identifies
community
issues
and
develops
ways
to
address
them
so
per
the
2014
one
Minneapolis
one
outcomes
graph
that
you
see
here,
I'm
just
going
to
read
some
of
the
notable
highlights.
318
residents
have
been
engaged,
62
youth
have
been
served.
Q
Seven
people
of
color
have
been
appointed
to
appointed
boards
and
commissions,
and
two
new
policies
of
ordinance
were
created.
The
graphic
is
the
graph
on
the
right,
which
is
called
the
map
of
grant
grant
recipients
shows
an
intentional
equitable
distribution
of
one
Minneapolis
runs
across
the
city
to
date.
We
are
happy
to
report
that
nearly
$500,000
has
been
allocated
to
many
several
many
organizations
to
support
26
innovative
projects.
Q
Q
Noble
collaboration
that
I
think
you
all
may
be
familiar
with
is
between
3
1
1.
The
innovation
team
and
NCR
resulted
in
language
lines
for
our
Latino
Hmong
in
Somali
speaking,
residents
between
2015
and
2016
language
line
follows
increased
by
approximately
two
hundred
and
sixteen
percent,
primarily
driven
by
the
Spanglish
spanish-language
line,
which,
more
than
tripled
over
the
same
period,
the
me
ciudad
radio
show
communicated
directly
with
Latino
residents
the
benefits
of
three
one,
one
one
of
the
services
and
how
do
they
route
their
concerns
or
specific
requests
throughout
the
enterprise.
Q
The
radio
show
also
showcase,
not
only
city
departments,
what
services
they
provide
with
this
service
mechanisms,
policy,
update
updates
on
sick
and
save
time
and
other
programs
going
forward
the
we're
going
to
take
a
page
from
this
success
story
and
explore
the
possibility
of
possibly
replicating
the
success
that
we
found
with
the
Spanish
language
lines
with
3-1-1
and
possibly
looking
at.
Perhaps
we
could
come
up
with
a
similar
or
comparable
radio
show
for
our
Hmong
and
Somali
speaking
residue,
or
perhaps
we
can
come
up
with
some
public
service
announcements
for
the
aforementioned
groups.
Q
So
the
end,
the
NPR
Department
serves
as
the
title
food
coordinator
for
the
Americans,
with
Disabilities
Act,
to
sure
to
not
only
ensure
compliance
with
the
Council
adopted,
a
DA
action
plan
and
also
federal
regulations,
but
to
also
serve
as
a
model
for
other
US
cities.
I
know,
David,
myself
and
Nick
have
recently
came
back
from
the
ad
a
symposium,
Chicago
and
I.
Q
Could
hopefully,
this
isn't
come
off,
but
arrogant,
but
I
think
we
are
well
ahead
as
it
relates
to
how
we
manage
the
system
here
at
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
as
it
relates
to
88
we're
here
to
provoke
awareness
and
education
on
title
2
and
better
accessibility
throughout
the
enterprise.
In
partnership
with
3-1-1,
the
entire
department
created
an
ad
a
grievance
complaint
system
which
provides
a
centralized
location
to
study
of
all
related
disability
related
issues.
The
graph
on
the
far
left
breaks
that
down,
as
you
can
see,
between
issues
resolved
by
the
NCR
department.
Q
Specifically,
this
graph
represents
how
many
cases
were
resolved
by
other
city
departments
and
then
the
last
graphic
represents
those
complaints
that
were
resolved
by
local
businesses
going
forward.
We
will
continue
to
prove
on
our
reporting
mechanisms,
identify
the
diverse
sets
of
accessibility
issues
and
improve
on
the
awareness
and
the
education
to
prove
access
for
folks
with
people
who
who
do
in
fact
have
disabilities.
Q
So
we're
really
proud
about
this
stage
strategy
for
in
continuing
strategy
for
where
we
have
expressed
the
myriad
of
community
engagement
initiatives
that
NCR
has
partnered
with
other
city
enterprise
departments
on
from
August
2015
to
August
2017
measure.
Four
point:
six
shows
the
enterprise
wide
initiatives
such
as
the
Minneapolis
2040,
safe
and
sick
time,
minimum
wage
in
the
MPD
body,
cameras
pilot
and
you
could
see
how
many
participating
participate
of
community
participants
actually
were
involved
in
these
discussions.
A
community
dialogue
outcomes,
I
thought
it
was
really
important
to
illustrate
how
many
committee
participants
were
involved.
Q
How
many
departments
have
been
involved
just
to
give
further
context,
and
one
thing
that
we
were
able
to
do
that
took
some
time
to
put
together
was
how
many
additional
topical
engagement
conversations
did
we
have
that
included
topics
that
you
would
both
find
at
the
national,
as
well
as
the
local
level,
such
as
immigration,
Islamophobia,
police
and
community
relations,
Latino
homeownership,
the
fact
that
we
were
able
to
kind
of
take
a
step
back
and
reflect
on
like
wow.
We
did
over
a
hundred
of
these
dialogues.
I
think
is
a
pretty
impactful.
Q
So
I
care
boarded
and
council
members
I
think
that
this
was
probably
a
lot
and
I
think
that
it's
important
to
pause,
to
not
only
evaluate
where
we've
been
on
this
journey
thus
far,
but
also
to
talk
about
how
we're
going
to
be
focused
on
improving
this
and
growing
this
further.
The
whole
point
behind
the
blueprint
is
to
not
put
your
eggs
in
one
basket
to
come
up
with
multiple
strategies
that
could
connect
with
all
the
residents
throughout
cities,
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
to
achieve
not
only
impactful
results,
but
to
also
sustain
them
over
time.
Q
We
are
keen
on
your
feedback,
so
if
you
have
more
feedback,
oh
please
let
us
know.
It
is
all
also
worth
mentioning
that
this
whole
process
taught
us
that
it's
okay
to
try
new
things,
there's
no
model
to
draw
upon.
As
I
mentioned,
you
know,
David
attending
the
Phoenix
summit.
From
an
engagement
perspective
we
don't
have.
We
didn't
have
a
model
to
actually
reference
in
this
country,
so
we
decided
to
create
our
own.
Q
It's
not
perfect,
but
we
do
feel
that
because
we
were
able
to
actually
align
some
metrics
and
measures
to
the
blueprint
that
reflected
again
a
true
collaboration
between
the
community,
the
city
then
also
council,
who
adopted
the
blueprint
last
year.
We
think
that
this
is
a
good
springboard
to
work
off
of
going
forward.
So
this
completes
my
presentation,
chair,
Gordon
and
councilmembers
and
I'm
available
for
any
Cosi.
They
have,
and
thank
you
for
your
time.
A
A
But
how
can
we
add
the
support
that
it's
needed
and
maybe
get
those
departments
to
be
doing
some
things
on
their
own
too
and
I
know
that
the
Commission
had
a
little
group
that
we're
looking
and
some
time
ago?
Maybe
a
group
that
was
looking
and
I
mean
the
neighborhood
Community
Engagement
Commission
Adam,
looking
at
how
well
city
departments,
do
their
engagement
and
maybe
strengths
or
weaknesses
or
whatever
and
somehow
incorporating
that
into
the
future
into
the
dashboard
might
be
interesting
to
see
how
all
that
works.
A
J
But
those
are
part
of
big
huge
policy
decisions
about
transportation
and
climate
change
and
housing,
and
how
do
we
engage
people
kind
of
more
on
the
front
end
or
out
values
and
being
planful
about
how
these
individual
decisions
kind
of
get
made
or
how
it
fits
into
the
big
picture?
So
I'll
leave
it
there
since
we're
running
late,
but
I
just
wanted
to
say
appreciate
all
of
that.
Yeah.
Q
And
I
would
just
say
a
chair,
Gordon,
council,
member
vendor
and
committee
members,
so
what
we
do
on
a
day
to
day
basis,
we
not
only
have
community
specialists
that
go
out
into
the
community
and
ask
them.
What
is
it
that
you
need?
I
would
also
give
credit
to
some
of
our
city,
colleagues,
that
are
thinking
innovatively
one
program
that
spoke
to
the
needs
of
not
only
the
african-american
in
the
Native
American
and
Latino
community
was
the
CPD
vacant
and
Rehab
homes
program.
Q
We
were
able
to
kind
of
take
that
program
and
do
an
engagement
and
go
out
to
community
to
say,
hey,
look
at
this
program,
it's
something
that
we're
hoping
that
could
benefit
you
into,
not
necessarily
to
our
surprise.
It
was
something
that
they
were
really
excited
about
and
they're,
hopefully
going
to
a
lot
of
folks
will
take
advantage
of
this
program.
So
we're
trying
to
do
is
a
two-pronged
approach.
Right,
it's
it's!
Q
A
K
Committee
members,
if
I
may
just
add
on
to
that
one
of
the
structural
things
that
has
been
put
into
place
as
well
and
with
the
leadership
of
the
city
coordinators.
Now
we
have
the
engagement
design
team,
which
is
all
the
departments,
basically
that
support
the
other
departments
and
their
engagement
work
in
one
way
or
another.
So
it's
communications
department,
it's
the
City
Clerk's
office.
It's
our
equity.
G
K
It's
a
creative
City,
making
goo-goo
and
says
on
there
as
well
as
myself
and
in
there
what
were
what
we
were
seeking
our
city
departments
to
come
in
with
their
engagement
ideas
early
in
the
process.
We
help
them
think
through
the
IEP
to
spectrum,
the
International
Association
of
public
participation,
principles
of
engagement
and
the
spectrum
of
engagement
really
looking
at
what
is
the
problem
or
is
the
outcome
they're
seeking
and
what
is
the
purpose
of
public
engagement
along
the
way?
K
So
we
helped
them
design
in
essence,
think
through
ideas
on
how
to
design
an
engagement
process
and
then
also
everybody
around
the
table
is
getting
a
better
coordination
of
how
we
support
each
other.
With
that
particular
initiative,
this
started
in
August
of
last
year
and
it's
continuing
to
meet
and
is
proving
to
be
at
this
point
for
getting
departments
coming
to
us
they're
coming
to
us
early,
and
so
we
can
think
through
these
of
these
engagement
at
these
citywide
engagement,
enterprise-wide
engagement
initiatives,
some
more
collectively
and
coordinated
that.
