From YouTube: August 16, 2017 Committee of the Whole
Description
Minneapolis Committee of the Whole Meeting
A
Good
morning,
I
am
calling
to
order
our
regularly
scheduled
meeting
of
the
Committee
of
the
Whole.
My
name
is
Elizabeth
Glyn
and
I'm.
The
chair
of
this
committee
and
I'm
joined
today
by
council
members,
Cano
bender,
council,
president
johnson
council,
member
andrew
johnson
members
gang
Quincy
and
Goodman,
and
we
are
quorum
of
the
committee.
We
have
one
item
on
our
agenda
for
today.
It's
a
discussion
item
in
its
presentation
of
the
legislative
information
management
system,
and
so
our
clerk
Casey
Carl
is
here
to
introduce
us
to
new
topic,
good.
B
Morning,
madam
vice
president,
members
of
the
committee,
as
noted,
my
name
is
Casey
College,
the
privilege
of
serving
a
city
clerk
for
the
city
of
Minneapolis
and
for
this
council
this
morning.
I
am
very
excited
to
debut
our
new
legislative
information
management
system,
or
we
call
it
limbs.
We're
excited
to
present
this
system
to
you
this
morning
to
announce
that
it
is
scheduled
to
go,
live
for
public
access
on
Monday
September
11
before
I
get
started.
B
It's
important
for
me
to
recognize
the
team
behind
the
project
who
are
literally
behind
me
this
morning,
they're
the
ones
who
are
responsible
for
the
development
of
this
system
and
ultimately
court
success,
and
so
on.
This
slide
I
wanted
to
start
by
recognizing
and
expressing
my
personal
appreciation
for
the
strong
support
that
this
project
has
received
from
City
Council,
not
merely
in
terms
of
funding,
though.
B
Certainly
that
has
been
critical
but
equally
as
much
in
terms
of
the
leadership
that
the
council
has
given
to
us
in
terms
of
championing
open
government
and
greater
transparency,
which
we
believe
this
system
will
help
us
achieve.
I
recall
that
the
council's
desire
to
open
up
its
legislative
process
and
make
it
more
accessible
with
a
key
element
of
the
recruitment
process
when
I
was
hired
in
2010.
We've
been
working
since
that
time
to
achieve
that
goal,
and
today
I'm
very
proud
to
join
with
the
City
Council,
making
the
system
available
to
all
many
ippolit
ins.
B
Also
here
with
us
who
supervises
the
legislative
support
team
in
the
clerk's
office,
has
done
extraordinary
work
in
helping
design
the
workflows,
procedural
rules
and
the
standardized
data
structure
that
are
based
on
her
32
plus
years
of
experience,
working
for
and
with
the
City
Council.
So
to
both
of
them,
I
am
deeply
in
debt
and,
of
course,
the
entire
crew
from
the
clerk's
office,
whose
names
are
listed
on
this
slide
and
have
contributed
to
the
success
of
this
project.
B
Clerk
other
than
me,
of
course,
tend
to
operate
behind
the
scenes
and
don't
have
opportunities
to
be
recognized
for
their
work.
But
all
of
this
team
in
the
chamber
this
morning
and
some
of
those
who
could
be
with
us,
contributed
success.
So
with
your
indulgence,
madam
chair
I'd
like
to
ask
if
they
would
please
stand
to
get
that
recognition
that
they
deserve,
so
the
clerk's
team
Jacqui
grant.
We
have
our
partners
and
they
talk
about
middle
data.
Net
membership,
Auto
doll
or
CIO
is
here,
has
been
critical
to
success.
Jeff
Kendall
our
IT
project
manager.
B
A
B
You
I'm
also
very
pleased
on
this
slide
to
introduce
formally
to
the
council
our
key
partners
in
this
endeavor
data
net
Systems
Corporation,
some
of
whom
are
able
to
join
us
today,
data
that
is
a
minority
owned,
IT
professional
services,
firm
headquartered
in
Maryland.
They
primarily
focus
on
government
solutions,
work
with
federal
agencies
and
District
Columbia
District
of
Columbia
agencies.
So
we
welcome
them
with
us.
B
We
are
honored
to
have
the
president
and
CEO
Robert
Nathan
and
some
members
of
his
team,
the
incredible
system,
architects,
programmers,
coders
designers,
who
created
the
limbs
for
the
city
of
Minneapolis.
We
think
it
is
Sibley
so
at
its
core.
This
project
is
about
acquiring,
developing
and
deploying
the
legislative
information
management
system
to
democratize,
access
to
the
city's
legislative
process,
leveraging
technology
to
increase
access
to
this
data
and
in
the
process
making
city
council
more
accessible
to
the
community.
By
doing
so,
we're
aiming
to
achieve
two
outcomes.
B
First,
we
want
to
increase
public
awareness
about
the
role
of
the
City
Council,
specifically
its
legislative
and
policy
making
responsibilities
and
how
it
contributes
to
the
community.
Second,
we
want
to
enhance
and
even
increase
opportunities
for
the
public
to
engage
in
that
work,
whether
you're
an
insider
to
the
process
or
someone
who's
never
engaged
in
the
past,
and
to
truly
democratize
access
to
that
data.
We
recognize
that,
especially
for
occasional
and
first-time
users.
B
We
needed
to
ensure
that
our
system
didn't
require
extensive
knowledge
about
the
structure
of
city
council,
about
expanding
committees,
about
how
proposals
flow
through
the
process
deadlines
schedules.
So,
in
order
to
track
an
issue,
a
constituent
now
would
need
to
have
a
fairly
comprehensive
knowledge
of
how
the
City
Council
has
structured.
How
standing
committees
operate
the
subject
matter:
jurisdiction
of
those
committees,
the
timelines
for
notice,
introduction,
referral,
etc
in
order
to
really
participate
that
sort
of
insider
knowledge.
With
the
help
of
Jody
Mullen
our
Hansford.
B
In
the
coordinators
office,
we
undertook
a
comprehensive
end-to-end
review
of
the
entire
process
and
we
attempted
to
speed
that
process
through
new
LAN
through
new
eyes,
the
eyes
of
an
outsider,
a
citizen
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis
not
familiar
with
the
City
Council,
and
in
doing
so
we
identified
some
outcomes
we
wanted
to
achieve
with
the
new
system,
four
overarching
goals.
First,
we
want
to
improve
access
to
accurate,
relevant
and
timely
data
to
support
decision-making
needs.
That's
for
policy
makers
for
department
staff
residents
and
community
stakeholders
and
others.
B
The
new
system
was
intentionally
designed
to
emphasize
a
robust
search
functionality.
Modeling
popular
web-based
search
engines,
it
optimizes
the
users
ability
to
search
sort
and
select
data,
focusing
on
search
rather
on
structure
and
process,
means
that
all
users
can
query,
find
and
track
issues
by
subject,
keyword
file,
document
type
date
range
committee
or
just
simply
with
a
simple
word
or
phrase,
and
let
the
some
find
information
for
them
building
on
changes
to
the
user,
interface
and
design.
Our
second
goal
is
to
leverage
technology
to
support
public
access
to
the
legislative
process.
B
B
The
city
is
able
to
give
residents
a
greater
ability
to
monitor
those
actions
that
most
directly
impact
them.
The
digital
format,
robust
search
and
geo
coded
data
fields
and
data
download
options
facilitate
a
self-serve
concept
that
empowers
users
to
conduct
their
own
research
and
it
helps
to
meet
residents
where
they
are
online.
In
a
digital
environment.
B
Our
goal
is
to
streamline
internal
support
functions
associated
with
production
of
legislative
data,
and
finally,
we've
created
the
lens
to
provide
a
single
point
of
entry
through
a
permanent
digital
portal,
because
it's
web
enabled
Lim's
serves
as
a
public
portal
to
all
legislative
data
and
makes
that
data
accessible
24
hours
a
day,
365
days
a
year
from
virtually
any
location
in
the
world
by
standardizing
our
file
formats
and
internal
production
procedures.
We're
also
ensuring
that
information
available
from
Lim's
is
trustworthy.
Accurate,
timely
and
consistent.
B
This
slide
shows
that
at
a
high
level,
then
there
are
three
systems
we're
using
now
to
produce
and
publish
legislative
data.
I've
already
discussed
the
functions
of
Limbs
we'll
be
demonstrating
that
system
in
just
a
moment.
In
addition,
we
have
the
Charter
and
the
Code
of
Ordinances,
which
are
available
from
the
Municipal
Code
corporation
or
miuna
code,
or
contract
cotta
fire
for
comparative
purposes.
B
One
important
note
I
feel
compelled
to
make
as
sort
of
a
disclaimer
as
if
you
want
to
go
ahead
and
get
a
student
for
the
system
in
an
effort
to
manage
expectations.
It's
good
to
note
and
point
out
that
this
system
represents
a
fundamental
shift
in
how
the
enterprise
will
engage
with
the
city
councilman's
committees,
but
also
how
we
make
that
data
available
to
the
public.
B
So,
despite
our
best
efforts,
there
will
be
mistakes
along
the
way,
but
I
think
our
success
should
be
judged
not
only
on
how
open
and
accessible
we
make
the
data
but
equally
and
how
quickly
we
respond
to
performance
challenges
that
might
come
up
and
I
refer
to
this
as
our
team
as
living
beta,
so
that
we
tend
to
be
perfectionists
in
the
clerk's
office.
But
that
approach
can
kill
innovation.
B
So
we
recognize
there
will
be
challenges
along
the
way
and
as
long
as
we
continue
to
implement
and
refine
that
system,
our
goal
will
be
to
respond
as
quickly
as
possible
to
make
sure
the
data
is
always
correct.
Accurate
trustworthy,
so
with
that
we'll
exit
the
PowerPoint
presentation
and
miss
Hanson
will
help
me
walk
through
what.
So.
This
is
the
legislative
information
management
system.
Again,
as
I
mentioned,
going
live
to
the
public
on
September
11th,
you
can
see
that
from
the
beginning
we
talked
about
instead
of
focusing
on
dates
and
times
and
calendars.
B
Subject
matter
jurisdiction,
dates
or
times,
the
entire
site
is
designed
to
provide
multiple
pathways
to
finding
information,
but
again
the
primary
pasady
through
that
search
function
with
the
goal,
making
it
easy
for
people
to
find
the
information
they
want
just
below
the
search
bar
you'll
see
that
there's
a
link
to
access
data
from
prior
years
she's
covering
the
little
cinder
over
there.
We
are
posting
data
since
1997
from
the
clerk's
website.
B
So
that's
quite
a
lot
of
information
that
we've
got
posted
out
there
and
we
are
working
as
sort
of
a
parallel
project
to
convert
all
of
that
data
into
the
limbs
as
we
move
forward
all
of
2017.
The
current
year
is
in
and
I'm
hopeful
that,
by
the
end
of
this
next
coming
month,
we'll
have
all
of
the
current
term,
which
means
all
of
2014,
15,
16
and
17
searchable
through
and
then
going
back
in
time
to
pick
up
the
other
data
as
we
go.
B
There
is
also
an
advanced
search
option
underneath
the
main
search
bar.
This
will
allow
users
to
refine
their
search
criteria
based
on
a
number
of
standard
fields
and
we'll
look
at
that
now
and
show
you
what
those
look
like
as
departments
create
their
requests
for
action,
they'll
be
helping
us
to
index
or
tag
items.
B
So
you
can
see
that
you
can
search
on
file
type
on
selected
sub
categories
that
tie
to
the
file
type
Ward
neighborhood,
the
submitting
Department
Committees
of
reference,
the
author
of
ordinances
and
resolutions,
a
date
range,
and
also
by
the
legislative
status
tags,
regular
and
more
users.
We
assume
we'll
probably
find
this
advanced
search
option
very
helpful
to
them
so
that
they
can
tailor
and
refine
their
search
options
back
on
the
main
page.
We've
also
embedded
lots
of
helpful
resources
for
users
available
from
this
home
page.
So
you
can
see
in
the
blue
bar.
B
There
is
a
direct
link
to
the
Charter
and
the
City
Code
of
Ordinances.
There's
a
glossary
legislative
process,
the
details,
the
step
by
step
actions,
some
information
about
how
the
public
can
participate,
connections
for
meeting
videos,
the
videos
that
are
done
by
our
communications
department
and
then
also
a
subscription
option
where
people
can
subscribe
for
gov,
delivering
messages
about
meetings
and
times
that
are
done
for
the
committee's
and
for
the
City
Council.
There's
also
below
that
an
option
that
says
upcoming
meetings.
B
This
will
automatically
display
links
to
those
meetings
that
are
coming
up
in
the
future
as
they're
loaded
into
the
system
and
then
recent
actions
which
provide
access
to
marked
agendas
which
are
posted,
usually
one
hour
after
a
committee
or
council
meeting
showing
what
action
was
taken
again.
A
public
service
to
show
at
the
very
bottom
of
the
page,
the
site
automatically
tallies
the
most
visited
files
or
pages
that
are
in
the
system.
B
So
you
can
see,
we've
done
a
lot
of
training
lately
using
de
municipal
minimum
wage
ordinance
and
that's
become
our
most
frequently
visited
file
page.
We
use
that
to
demonstrate
the
system
with
staff
training
at
the
top
of
the
page.
There
is
a
series
of
standard
search
functions.
The
first
one
is
calendars
and
agendas.
B
This
is
where
we
will
list
all
of
the
meetings
by
date
range
you
can
see.
It
defaults
to
a
standard
calendar
form.
There
are
some
color
coding
and
some
symbols
that
help
people
understand
if
there's
a
public
hearing,
if
it's
an
updated
meeting,
adjourned,
regular
special
etc.
If
you
look
on
Wednesday,
the
second
you'll
see,
there's
something
that
says
two
more:
where
there
are
more
meetings
in
the
space
visually
allows,
it
will
expand
and
show
that
there
are
more
meetings.
B
As
the
meeting
agendas
are
loaded,
they
become
links
to
the
actual
agenda,
there's
a
variety
of
ways
to
display
information.
It
automatically
defaults
to
the
month,
there's
also
at
the
top
right.
You
can
see
an
upcoming
list
or
a
week
view
the
upcoming
is
just
a
straight
list,
but
it
will
see.
There
is
also
in
addition
to
the
standard
symbols
about
what
kind
of
meeting
there's
a
calendar
icon.
B
So
if
members
of
the
public
were
coming
here-
and
let's
say
they
wanted
to
attend
this
morning's
Ways
and
Means
Committee
meeting-
they
simply
click
on
that
calendar
icon
and
it
puts
it
on
their
calendar
for
them
right
above
that
link,
it
says
City
Council,
which
would
be
all
the
City
Council
all
of
its
standing
policy
committees.
The
independent
audit
and
executive
committee
in
the
Charter
Commission
boards
and
commissions
would
provide
links
to
our
approximate
40
boards
and
Commission
meeting
information.
B
There's
also
a
link
here,
for
instance,
which
would
be
official
City
events
that
we've
notified
the
public
about
and
an
option
to
do
all
calendars
where
you
could
combine
all
the
City
Council,
its
committees,
the
independent
boards,
the
boards
and
commissions
and
events
into
one
listing.
So
that's
one
place
where
all
of
these
events
would
be
listed.
You
can
search
in
the
calendars,
as
you
see,
there's
a
keyword
search
and
you
can
clear
you
can
print
or
you
can
email
these
links
using
the
tools
that
are
provided.
B
So
it's
pretty
self-explanatory
in
terms
of
the
calendar
agendas.
There
is
at
the
top
another
section
called
latest
action:
I'm
not
going
to
go
into
it.
It
obviously
provides
links
to
the
latest
actions
that
the
councillors
committees
has
done.
The
reports
is
a
very
robust
section,
take
a
lot
of
things.
We're
currently
doing
and
also
expands
on
it.
So
of
course,
committee
reports
are
the
heart
of
our
process.
Committees
make
recommendations
to
the
City
Council.
The
City
Council
acts
women's
recommendations.
The
committee
reports
are
not
only
minutes
of
those
meetings.
B
It
also
includes
the
committee's
recommendations
on
actions.
Any
public
hearings
that
are
conducted
and
other
matters
that
happen
in
a
committee
are
contained
within
its
report.
Council
proceedings
is
the
legally
official
definitive
record
of
the
council's
acts,
orders
and
decisions.
It's
also
published
in
our
official
newspaper
and
compliance
with
law.
Those
are
also
published
through
the
system
as
they
are
now,
but
here
they
are,
through
this
link
under
reports
to
new
standardized
reports
that
we
frequently
get
requests
for
an
account
in
the
clerk's
office.
Our
attendance
and
voting
record
reports.
B
The
system
automatically
takes
out
from
every
meeting
that
detail
and
provides
access
to
it.
There's
also
a
link
to
a
public
hearings
page
to
give
greater
emphasis
to
that
information
for
the
public
when
our
public
hearings,
where
are
they?
What
meeting
with
the
subject
and
then
at
the
bottom
we've
talked
about
this
before
we
started
doing
this
in
2014
and
we've
been
doing
it
every
quarter.
So,
every
three
months
the
clerk's
office
produces
a
session
statistics
report
which
provides
access
to
statistics
about
meetings.
B
How
many
did
we
do,
according
by
each
committee,
council
audit
exact
charter?
How
long
were
those
meetings?
How
many
items
were
introduced?
You'll
see
that
we
have
two
issues
tied
to
ordinances.
One
is
matters
that
have
introduced
and
referred
so
within
that
quarterly
period.
How
many
proposals
have
been
introduced
and
referred
to
what
committee
and
what
chapter
and
title
of
the
code
do
they
touch?
Who
the
author
etc
ordinance
is
enacted?
B
All
of
that
data
has
been
posted
every
quarter
from
14
15
16
so
far
through
2017
and
with
the
introduction
or
launch
of
this
system
will
be
automated
by
the
system
and
is
not
only
available
in
a
PDF
format,
but
also
the
raw
data
that
then
can
be
exported
into
a
CBS
or
a
comma-separated
value
file
in
Excel,
so
that
users
could
visualize
that
data
if
they
chose
to
do
so,
there's
a
link
at
the
top
for
boards
and
commissions.
This
will
connect
to
our
old
site.
B
There's
a
link
for
notices,
something
the
clerk's
office
is
working
in
conjunction
with
the
departments
across
the
enterprise,
providing
a
single
location
for
public
notices
listed
by
date
and
subject
matter
again
as
a
convenience
to
the
public
one
place
to
go.
Where
notices
could
be
published,
there
is
also
a
held
icon.
The
question
mark
at
the
top
and
I
think
we
provided
copies
of
the
information,
so
public
user
manual
that
we
should
have
passed
out.
We
should
have
it
your
at
your
place.
B
I
hope,
if
not
we'll
get
it
to
you,
but
it
shows
how
to
use
this
system
and
it's
simply
a
PDF
presentation,
that's
available,
so
the
public
can
block
there
step
by
step
on
each
of
these
screens
and
see
how
to
do
it.
So
if
we
go
back
to
the
main
screen,
what
we
really
wanted
to
show
you
is
the
power
of
the
system
by
searching
on
a
file
will
say
municipal
minimum
wage.
B
So
if
I
read
that
the
City
Council
was
discussing
minimum
wage,
you
saw
that
Matt
Hansen
type
in
minimum
wage
she
hit
enter.
These
are
the
search
results
immediately
back
to
her
you'll
see
that
it
says
there
is
one
to
ten
displayed
results
of
thirteen
total
entries
in
the
system
and
then,
as
you
know,
we
do
everything
by
a
file
number.
The
file
number
is
the
link,
so
the
first
file
displaying
is
2017
zero.
B
Zero
seven
two
three:
this
is
the
municipal
minimum
wage
ordinance
I
just
want
to
stop
and
review
what
it
says
here
before
we
click
into
and
open
the
file
at
a
high
level,
we'll
give
you
the
file
number
for
tracking
purposes.
It's
also
the
link
to
the
actual
file,
the
title,
which
should
give
you
a
description
of
the
subject
matter
and
then,
what's
inside
of
it
in
green
you'll,
see
the
status
tag
which
says
that
this
matter
has
been
approved
at
every
stage
in
the
process.
B
There's
a
tag
that
gets
associated
so
that
the
public
knows
it's
a
new
introduction.
It's
a
committee
review
it's
to
the
City
Council,
it's
for
mayoral
review.
It's
been
approved
and
we'll
show
you
some
of
the
other
tactics
into
the
system,
but
if
we
go
ahead
and
click
on
the
file
you'll
see
that
all
of
the
actions
associated
with
this
again
it
starts
with
the
title.
The
number
for
the
file,
the
originating
Department
of
City
Council,
coordinated
through
the
city
coordinators
office.
B
There
are
series
of
it
looks
like
ten
actions
that
have
been
bundled
into
this
file.
Number
ten
is
the
actual
ordinance
that
was
ultimately
passed
by
the
council.
You'll
see,
there's
a
drop-down
menu
for
each
one
of
those
items
and,
as
she
clicks
that
item
you'll
see
it
open
up,
because
this
is
an
ordinance
that
shows
you
what
the
ordinance
number
as
enacted
is,
and
that
is
a
link
to
the
actual
ordinance.
It
tells
you
the
date
that
ordinance
becomes
effective.
B
It
shows
you
where,
in
the
code
it's
located
in
terms
of
words,
then
codified,
the
primary
author
and
then
under
this
tab
called
legislative
history
every
single
time.
That
item
comes
in
front
of
a
public
meeting.
It
will
give
you
the
date,
the
action
that
was
done
at
that
meeting,
a
link
to
the
agenda
where
that
action
took
place,
the
record,
whether
it's
a
committee
report
or
full
council
proceedings
and
any
motions
associated
with
it.
By
that
author,
it
includes
a
we
look
at
the
view
introduction.
B
This
is
the
document
when
the
proposal
was
first
introduced,
we'll
go
back
and
look
June
28,
there's
a
voting
record
at
committee
of
the
whole.
Where
was
approved
as
amended
because
it
was
a
voice
vote,
it
simply
gives
us
the
detail
that
the
committee
of
the
whole
on
this
meeting
date.
There
was
a
voice
vote
in
it
passed
because
we
do
roll
calls
on
final
passage
where
it
was
finally
adopted.
B
You'll
see
that
it
says
a
roll
call
and
it
shows
11:00,
I,
1,
May,
1,
absent,
and
it
gives
the
list
of
members
pulled
from
the
journal
that
we
publish
and
provides
it
here
as
a
quick
reference.
Then
it
also
includes
the
official
act
as
signed
by
the
mayor,
so
here's
our
official
ordinance
showing
all
of
the
details
out
of
the
file
under
the
double
line
after
the
signatures
and
dates.
B
This
is
the
text
of
the
ordinance
as
it
was
finally
enacted
and
in
the
last
century
we
put
in
the
clerk's
office
if
the
data
was
published
because,
of
course
all
of
the
council's
actions
have
to
be
published
below
that
you'll
see
a
link
to
the
request
for
committee
action
or
RCA,
which
brings
the
matter
forward.
The
fiscal
note
you'll
see
a
long
list
of
supporting
documents
for
this
particular
file,
and
then
there
are
some
related
files
that
were
related
to
minimum
wage,
but
weren't
part
of
this
particular
file.
B
But
the
links
are
here
to
cross-reference
those
within
the
system
for
the
public.
You
can
see
it
pretty
robust,
it's
fairly
user-friendly
intuitive,
provides
a
I
think
a
great
level
of
transparency
and
access
for
the
public,
also
good
research
tools
for
the
public
and
for
staff,
and
so
that
is
our
high
level
review
of
the
system
using
the
standardized
tools
that
are
part
of
it.
We're
proud
to
make
that
tool
available
and,
as
a
reminder,
we're
scheduled
to
go,
live
to
the
general
public
with
the
system
on
Monday
September
11th.
B
A
C
You
madam
chair
I,
want
to
thank
the
clerk's
office
and
the
team
at
Dennett
for
putting
together
this
system
I'm
very
impressed
by
it
I
think
it's
an
excellent
solution
and
I
look
forward
to
seeing
additional
data
entered
into
it
as
well.
One
particular
comment
I
did
want
to
make
was
about
video
time,
stamping,
specifically
and
being
able
link
directly
to
parts
of
the
council
meeting.
I,
think
that's
a
wonderful
feature
and
functionality
to
add
to
the
site.
C
I
would
strongly
encourage
and
hope
to
see
that
we're
linking
up
specifically
to
our
YouTube
YouTube
videos,
they're,
currently
being
added
out
there.
It's
really
a
universal
platform
at
this
point
and
allows
the
public
to
easily
share
subscribe
for
auto
captioning
and
a
whole
variety
of
other
features,
and
so
I
think
that
makes
the
most
sense
rather
than
trying
to
switch
over
to
some
other
third-party
system,
so
I
hope
to
see
that
functionality
in
there
I
know
from
an
IT
standpoint
that
it's
pretty
easy
to
integrate
and
I
know.
C
It
requires,
though,
a
lot
of
work
from
the
clerk's
office
to
go
and
specifically
find
those
timestamp
areas,
but
I
think
it'll.
Really
make
all
the
difference
to
have
that
linked
up
as
well
again,
thank
you
so
much
for
the
efforts.
It's
just
wonderful
to
see
and
I
think
it
really
sets
the
standard
for
information
management
systems,
legislative
information
management
systems
and
will
hopefully
be
leading
the
way
for
other
cities
across
Minnesota
in
the
region
and
in
the
United
States.
B
Council
member
Johnson
point:
yes,
it
is
our
goal
to
integrate
with
video
and
it's
one
of
the
things
that
we
are
still
working
with.
Data
node
on
I
think
we
were
very
close.
So
we
appreciate
that
comment
and
we
will
continue
to
work
with
our
colleagues
from
a
communications
department.
It's
raised.
The
issue
I
failed
to
mention
when
I
was
making
my
remarks
and
that
is
the
robustness
of
the
system
being
able
to
integrate
with
other
systems.
B
Wilson
and
his
team,
Nate's
Don
and
others,
with
Jeff
Kendall
from
the
IT
department
and
with
our
colleagues
in
licensing
to
make
sure
that
that
can
happen,
and
an
extension
of
that,
of
course,
is
using
Elms
to
also
get
into
zoning
planning
applications
and
land
use
issues
so
that
we
integrate
across
the
enterprise
systems
on
those
applications
and
have
them
talk
to
each
other
more
readily
and
easily
Thank.
You.
E
You,
madam
chair,
and
thanks
mr.
Karl
for
all
of
this
work.
This
is
really
a
demonstration
of
real
project
management,
so
many
hands
and
and
departments
and
and
thinking
going
into
this,
getting
it
through
without
any
big
changes,
I
mean
following
a
direction
and
path
that
was
set
out.
It's
really
extraordinary.
So
thanks
for
that
work,
I
guess
I
had
a
question.
One
of
the
things
that
we
had
in
this
in
the
current
version
of
the
committee
kind
of
structure
is
a
special
icon
with
a
dollar
sign.
E
This
relates
to
the
budget
where
we
were
able
to
accumulate
lots
of
things
within
the
finance
department,
budget
hearings,
the
Capitol,
long-term
Improvement,
Committee
actions,
even
a
link,
I
think
over
to
the
board
of
estimate
taxation.
Calendar
process,
that's
outside
of
the
regular
Standing
Committee
process,
but
it's
part
of
the
budget
process
is
there
a
way
we
can
incorporate
some
of
those
good
things
into
this
or
how
are
we
going
to
address?
For
example,
the
budget
calendar
that's
coming
up
with
the
budget
address
and
then
the
hearings-
and
you
know
all
those
steps.
B
The
vice
president,
the
councilmember,
raises
a
good
question.
Following
up
on
what
I
just
started
about
integration
using
this
system,
we
can
also
integrate
with
other
web
sites
that
already
exist
and,
for
example,
the
website
that
we've
created
in
partnership,
our
friends
and
finance
and
property
services
about
the
budget
and
which
specifically
relates
to
the
Ways
and
Means
Subcommittee
on
budget,
as
it
deals
with
the
mayor's
budget
proposals
and
as
the
committee
refines
those
and
ultimately
submits
them
back
to
Council.
I.
B
Think
this
system
will
play
a
part
of
that
in
conjunction
with
other
systems
and
will
work
with
our
partners
and
those
other
departments,
and
especially
IT,
who
supports
all
of
us
with
that
platform
to
make
sure
that,
from
a
user's
perspective,
it's
much
more
seamless
like
it
is
now,
but
takes
advantage
of
multiple
systems
working
together.
Great.
E
I
look
forward
to
that
I'm
sure
that
was
part
of
the
plan
I
just
wanted
to
highlight.
That
is
something
that's
going
to
be
coming
up
very
quickly.
The
other
comment
I
had
is:
is
there
other
kind
of
content
that
we
can
direct
into
this
that
doesn't
fit
within
the
regular
committee
structure,
I'm
thinking,
for
example,
of
the
study
session
that
was
recently
held
on
housing,
we've
had
one
on
banking
services
and
other
projects
like
that
over
the
years.
How
can
we
make
that
data
accessible
and
presentation
form
for
residents?
Madam.
B
Vice
president,
again,
this
system
will
also
accommodate
your
work
in
any
form
whether
it's
a
study
session,
a
committee,
a
subcommittee,
an
ad
hoc
group
or
has
the
full
council,
and
we
will
use
the
various
tool
or
navigation
bars
both
through
public
hearings,
announcements,
notices,
are
egads
delivery,
signup
system
and
also
the
listing
of
calendars
that
provide
access
to
those
agendas.
So,
as
we
provide
agendas
for
all
of
those
public
meetings,
they
can
be
accessible
through
this
and
to
that
keyword,
search
would
be
able
to
find
the
files
and
access
that
information
as
well.
Thank.
E
A
You
know
councilmember
I,
don't
see
any
other
question,
so
I
was
just
going
to
follow
up
on
councilmember
Quincy's
point
about
the
the
way
that
we
have
been
handling
alleys,
for
example,
budget
presentations,
as
we've
kind
of
had
a
practice.
I
think
you
would
call
it
more
of
hosting
them
all
on
a
certain
webpage
in
the
finance
department,
and
so
at
least,
if
you
know
how
to
get
there,
it's
more
accessible
one
place,
but
that's
not
the
only
department
that
has
some
processes.
A
They
sometimes
do
I
know
I,
don't
know
if
they
still
do
this,
but
the
business
licensing
used
to
host
web
pages
that
were
specific
to
things.
They
were
getting
stakeholder
input
that
was
separate
from
actual
public
hearing
on
an
ordinance,
and
so
would
the
system
automatically
know
how
to
pull
things
like
that?
Or
do
you
have
to
have
departments
that
are
savvy
enough
to
say,
I
want
to
make
sure
these
pages
are
linked
to
the
system,
so
you
can
really
see
the
full
range
of
information
that
relates
to
a
legislative
action
notice.
B
It's
an
interesting
question
and
I
think
the
answer
is,
it
depends
and
I
sound
sort
of
like
a
lawyer
in
that
regard,
but
it's
because
I
think
that
is
right.
Currently,
for
example,
we
get
minimum
wage.
We
use
our
legislative
system,
its
interim
phase,
to
propose
or
to
post
and
make
public
information
with
the
files
as
they
were
in
council,
but
we
also
work
at
the
coordinators
office
and
the
communications
department
who
created
a
separate
website
that
integrated
through
a
series
of
links.
B
So
if
you
wanted
general
information
about
upcoming
listening
sessions,
if
you
wanted
general
information
about
what
was
pending
at
the
time
upcoming
meeting
notices,
that
was
on
the
website,
there
were
links
embedded
in
that
website
that
seamlessly
integrated
from
a
public
users
perspective
back
into
our
limbs.
So
from
the
outsiders
perspective,
you
were
just
going
between
pages,
but
on
the
inside
working
with
communications,
Clerk,
IT
coordinator
and
others,
we
were
integrating
those
different
systems
and
applications
so
that
it
was
more.
B
A
And
is
there
something
that's
happening
to
give
a
heads
up
so
speak
to
frequent
users
of
our
legislative
system
that
these
changes
are
here
and
they're
going
to
have
hopefully
have
an
easier
time
and
I
mean
just
I'm
excited
to
play
with
it,
I
guess
myself
intuitively.
It
really
looks
fantastic,
so
I'm
interested
about
what
will
be
the
experience
of
these
frequent
users
who
interact
and
then
kind
of
how
that
spreads.
Hopefully,
I'm.
B
Anxious
to
respond
to
that
one.
Thank
you
for
the
question,
madam.
Vice
president,
we
actually
have
already
done
a
presentation
in
the
community
with
open,
Twin
City,
which
is
a
group
of
civic
technologists
that
monitor
the
city
as
it
operates,
and
we
were
eager
to
incorporate
some
of
their
feedback
about
how
to
make
the
system
a
little
bit
better
from
a
user's
perspective.
It's
a
good
opportunity
for
me
to
tell
all
of
my
boss
was
sitting
in
front
of
me.
B
We
plan
to
reach
out
to
the
neighborhood's
to
talk
about
at
one
of
your
up
communities.
We
would
love
to
come.
Show
you
the
new
way
of
connecting
with
the
City
Council
in
its
work
and
to
provide
a
demonstration
of
that
system
so
that
at
the
neighborhood
level,
there's
at
least
some
of
that
connectivity.
B
We
also
have
had
some
contact
with
members
of
the
media
who
cover
us
regularly,
with
whom
we
have
some
regular
contact
and
to
make
them
aware
that
this
is
coming,
give
them
a
little
preview
and
then,
of
course,
there
are
staff
trainings
that
we've
been
doing
for
the
last
four
months.
I
think
that
they
then
will,
through
their
groups
and
contacts
and
networks,
helped
to
explain
that
as
well.
That's.
A
Great
and
I
would
just
say:
maybe
one
other
group
is
so
residents
who
serve
on
our
boards
and
commissions.
As
a
super,
highly
engaged
group
and
again
I
mean
that
I
think
the
hope
is
as
you're
saying
beginning
is
that
by
having
a
system
that
is
easier
to
navigate,
it
encourages
more
people
to
kind
of
explore,
what's
happening
at
the
city,
so
well,
I'm,
not
seeing
further
questions
or
comment
so
I'll
just
say
thank
you
for
asking
for
the
time.
So
we
could
see
this
fantastic
presentation.
