A
Welcome

intergovernmental

Today's

I

Frye
and

Today
we

two
items
on
our
agenda.
A
One
is
a
presentation
by
the
city
coordinators
office
on
our
welcoming
city
task
force
updates.
We
do

that
moment
and

we
could,
please

with
our
city
coordinators
presentation.
Thank.
B
You
very
much
chair,
Cano,
council
members.
My
name
is
Greta
Bergstrom
I'm,
the
director
of
the
city's
communications
department,
I'm
pleased
to
be
here
this
afternoon.
As
a
representative
and
member
of
the
city's
welcoming
city
task
force
to
provide
an
update
to
the
committee,
this
update
will
include
the
taskforce,
work
plan
and
activities.
B
So
in
February,
council
directed
staff
to
establish
a
task
force
to
meet
and
develop
strategies
to
strengthen
city
level
policies
and
programs
and
resources
to
better
protect
and
defend
our
immigrant
and
refugee
families.
Staff
are
also
directed
to
work
with
community
partners
to
maximize
the
effectiveness
of
our
programs
and
policies.
The
welcoming
city
task
force,
which
I
am
a
member,
a
communications
department.
We
have
monthly
meetings
of
the
full
task
force.
We
also
have
bi-weekly
meetings
of
subcommittees
and
those
do
include
the
communication
subcommittee
and
human
resource
teams.
B
The
committee
is
comprised
of
the
city,
attorney's
office,
finance,
communications,
department
of
civil
rights,
health
department,
intergovernmental
relations,
police
department,
city
coordinators,
office,
neighborhood
and
Community
Relations,
3-1-1
and
Human
Resources,
the
welcoming
city
network,
our
cities
across
the
nation
who
are
guided
by
principles
of
inclusion
and
creating
communities
that
prosper
because
everybody
in
the
city
feels
welcome
our
city.
The
city
of
Minneapolis
joined
the
welcoming
America
cohort
on
May
12
2017.
B
So
we
remember,
enterprise
activities
do
include
to
date,
holding
a
series
of
trauma
trainings,
and
that
is
in
conjunction
and
collaboration
with
recast
Minneapolis,
which
helps
city
employees,
understand
trauma
how
city
employees
may
be
viewed
by
residents
experiencing
trauma
and
how
to
deal
with
vicarious
trauma
in
communities.
This
is
a
resource
for
our
internal
city
staff.
We
are
also
collaborating
with
labor
partners
to
provide
support
for
employees
and
to
ensure
that
they
understand
their
role.
B
We're
collaborating
with
our
national
counterparts
to
align
our
efforts
in
Minneapolis
and
have
joined
in
amicus
briefs
where
and
when
appropriate.
We've
also
created
guides
for
employees
and
managers
within
the
city
on
how
to
support
their
employees,
how
to
support
their
families,
who
may
be
dealing
with
immigration
related
issues.
So
that's
some
of
the
ongoing
work
internally
in
terms
of
the
citywide
activities.
B
We
have
convened
meetings
with
community
partners
working
with
immigrant
and
Refugee
committees
across
the
city
to
identify
gaps
and
align
efforts,
provide
funding
for
legal
advocates
working
directly
with
our
residents
involving
various
immigration
proceedings.
We
have
also
monitored
bias
and
hate
crimes,
providing
the
hotline
that
we
have
here
at
the
city.
As
a
community
resource,
we've
developed
web
content
to
serve
as
a
central
hub
on
the
city
site
as
a
resource
tool
and
hub,
and
we
develop
messaging
to
promote
city
values
to
the
community.
B
We
will
be
a
part
of
the
city
of
welcoming
week
and
welcoming
week
will
be
held
September
15th
through
the
24th,
and
that's
really.
We
are
one
of
the
number
of
the
cohort
and
across
the
nation.
During
welcoming
week,
cities,
cities
everywhere
are
kind
of
holding
a
series
of
events
that
are
tailored
to
the
needs
and
interests
of
the
cities
themselves
with
jurisdictions.
B
The
idea
of
this
is
really
to
bring
together
immigrants
and
refugees
native-born
residents
to
make
sure
that
everybody
feels
welcome
and
included
and
that
there's
a
shared
sense
of
values
within
the
city.
We
are
working
right
now
in
partnership
with
different
organizations,
and
we
will
be
able
to
share
more
details
of
welcoming
week
as
that
moves
forward.
Those
details
are
not
fully
set
yet
and
we're
working
in
collaboration
across
the
city
and
with
partners.
A
C
B
C
C
B
D
B
Place
for
people
to
check
out
which
brings
us
the
we
are
minneapolis
campaign,
but
we
are
minneapolis
campaigns
with
the
hashtag.
We
are
minneapolis,
and
so
it's
intended,
obviously
as
a
social
media
campaign,
but
a
broader
public
awareness
campaign
that
is
still
in
development.
The
campaign
will
promote
city's
efforts
to
ensure
that
minneapolis
is
indeed
a
welcoming
city
for
all
people
and
we
are
expecting
a
September
launch
that
will
coincide
with
welcoming
week.
B
So
big
mid-september
is
the
plan,
but
it
fee
is
really
to
lift
up
kind
of
the
rich
diversity
of
residents
through
photography
and
there.
It
is
including
audio
and
content
online,
highlighting
kind
of
authentic
stories
and
lifting
up
the
narratives
of
people
who
lived
experiences:
refugee
members,
immigrants,
individuals
from
the
community
who
have
lived
here
for
generations.
So
it's
very
inclusive
and
trying
to
really
unite
people
to
understand
a
little
bit
about
each
other
and
why
they're
here
and
how
they
identify
with
the
city?
B
The
idea
is
to
help
drive
community
to
a
resource
hub,
so
both
in
terms
of
promoting
this
visually
and
on
the
website
and
through
social
media.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
our
community
members
are
aware
of
the
resource
hub
on
the
city
site,
and
that
just
includes
some
promotional
need
to
make
them
aware
of
that
campaign.
E
Hi,
my
name
is
Heidi
Sanchez
I'm,
going
to
be
a
junior
at
Hiawatha
collegiate
high
school
I
have
been
a
part
of
Minneapolis
Eve
Congress
for
two
years.
I
am
part
of
the
Safety
Committee
and
three
things:
I'm
passionate
about
our
LGBTQ
rights,
getting
my
voice
heard
by
youth
and
getting
my
expections
up
and
my
creative
writing
and
reading
something
that
I
bring
to
the
table
in
it.
Don't
may
not
is
I
like
to
incorporate
other
people's
opinions
or
ideas
into
mine
and
get
everyone's
ideas.
F
My
name
is
Cheryl
record
I
will
be
a
senior.
This
fall
at
Edison,
High,
School
I'm,
a
part
of
the
green
committee
with
the
meaning
of
its
Youth
Congress
and
three
things
that
I'm
passionate
about
is
LGBTQ
rights,
mental
health
awareness
and
youth
engagement.
One
thing
that
I
bring
to
the
table
that
adults
may
not
is
my
ability
to
speak
out
when
others
cannot
and
I
am
here
with
Heidi
to
speak.
F
The
statement
of
welcoming,
on
behalf
of
the
Minneapolis
youth,
Coordinating
Board,
the
Minneapolis
youth,
Coordinating
Board,
the
Minneapolis
Youth
Congress
and
our
jurisdictional
partners,
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
Hennepin,
County,
Minneapolis,
Public
Schools
in
the
Minneapolis
Park
and
Recreation
Board
worked
together
to
welcome
all
young
people
in
their
families.
Our
institutions
serve
all
people
through
programs,
activities
and
services
without
fear
of
reprisal
for
their
immigration
or
refugee
status.
We
find
the
new
executive
order
about
immigrants
and
refugees
to
be
paralyzing,
even
though
the
executive
orders
have
been
halted
through
judicial
action.
F
The
effects
of
these
policies
and
the
threat
of
new
executive
orders
are
damaging.
They
are
tearing
families
apart,
instilling
fear
in
children,
schools,
businesses
and
communities.
The
ripple
effects
of
these
policies
has
a
significant
impact
on
our
children,
leaving
them
afraid
and
isolated.
It
is
extremely
harmful
as
it
limits
their
access
to
public
services
and
trivializes
their
humanity.
We,
as.
E
E
Abundant
City
a
safe
place
for
Refugees
and
other
vulnerable
people
coming
from
war-torn,
oppressive
and
dangerous
countries.
By
doing
what
we
can't
help
others
in
need,
we
enrich
our
own
communities
and
make
this
a
better
place
to
live.
All
human
beings
are
a
great
treasure
which
we
cannot
abandon
or
demean
in
these
times.
Let
us
look
out
for
one
another,
make
sure
all
our
children
and
there's
a
must
feel
welcoming
safe
in
Minneapolis.
E
We
provide
support
for
the
marginalized
and
a
friend
existence
of
all
people,
adults,
youth,
those
with
and
without
families,
those
of
all
gender
identities
and
sexual
orientation,
regardless
of
religious
belief,
race,
ethnicity,
abilities
or
socioeconomic
status.
Together,
better
is
not
just
the
same
for
us.
It
is
an
action.
Nyc
created
this
statement
of
welcome
for
the
diverse
populations
in
Minneapolis,
and
we
hope
you
support
us.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
A
A
Engage
more
folks.
Raise
awareness,
raise
education,
bring
partners
to
the
table.
So
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
leading
this.
So
without
further
questions
we
will
go
ahead
and
I
will
go
ahead
and
move
this
forward.
So
this
is
the
receiving
and
filing
of
our
welcome
to
task
force
update
as
well
as
a
passage
of
a
resolution
affirming
the
city
of
Minneapolis
as
a
welcoming
City,
all
those
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
aye.
D
H
D
And
resets
I'll
be
back
when
the
5th
of
September
and
it's
recess
is
traditional.
It's
been
going
on
for
many
many
years,
but
I
take
the
whole
month
of
August
to
be
in
their
districts
to
work
with
their
constituents.
So
there
have
been
a
lot
of
community
meetings
all
over
the
country,
and
many
folks
are
at
hearing
a
lot
about
health
care,
immigration
and
other
budget
items,
particularly
tax
reform.
The
business
the
fiscal
year
begins
October
1st.
D
D
So
where
are
we
now
well,
usually
there's
a
budget
resolution
adopted
by
both
the
House
and
the
Senate
concurrently,
it's
a
concurrent
resolution.
Well
that
hasn't
happened.
The
House
passed
the
resolution
and
in
that
resolution
they
also
have
many
items
dealing
with
things
like
federal
funding
for
immigration.
Things
of
that
nature
also
Medicare
and
Medicaid,
which
we
heard
about
a
lot
in
the
health
care
debate.
Just
recently,
but
at
least
the
house
resolution
included
some
reductions
of
Medicare
and
Medicaid,
the
Senate
has
not
taken
up
that
resolution.
D
It
is
doubtful
if
they
will
so
what
will
happen.
Well,
there's
two
types
of
funding,
discretionary
funding,
which
is
that
funding
that
requires
Congress
to
pass
an
appropriation.
Then
there's
the
mandated
spending
like
Medicare
and
Medicaid,
which
has
been
approved
by
Congress
and
sort
of
like
an
open
and
standing
appropriation,
and
there
is
an
annual
appropriation
so
to
change
those
they
have
to
change
the
statutes
themselves
and
that's
been
some
of
the
attempts
has
been
tried
and
I
know.
Our
state
state
government
is
very
concerned
about
it:
the
proposals
for
Medicaid
and
Medicare.
D
So
without
a
resolution,
the
Congress
has
actually
begun
to
look
at
the
budgets
and
appropriations
to
put
together
bills.
The
house
is
way
ahead
of
the
Senate.
They
have
12
standing
subcommittees
of
11
of
them
have
approved
bills,
but
none
of
them
have
gone
independently
to
the
floor
or
the
Senate
appropriation
has
approved
two
subcommittee
bills
and
the
House
passed
just
before
they
went
home
with
this
called
a
mini
books
where
they
put
together.
The
defense
bill,
water,
energy
veterans
and
legislative
branch
passes,
sent
it
to
the
Senate.
D
D
So
what
are
some
of
the
highlights
or
factors
in
the
appropriations
process?
We've
seen
so
far?
Well,
the
House
and
Senator
generally
above
the
president's
appropriations.
In
some
cases
he
actually
recommended
no
funding.
He
also
recommended
funding
based
on
certain
conditions.
His
budget
eliminated
funding
for
CDBG,
home
and
tagra.
D
The
House
and
Senate
recommended
recommends
now
funding
for
those
two
CDBG
and
home,
and
also
the
Senate
continues
Tager
now
when
they
start
the
process
of
the
House
and
the
Senate
appropriators
use
the
FY
17
budget
as
a
base.
So
sometimes
it
went
above
that
sometimes
they
wouldn't
be
loaded.
This
chart
shows
what
happened
as
being
proposed
in
the
House
bill:
a
Community
Development
Block
Grant.
You
have
the
FY
17
budget
of
3
billion
dollars.
The
House
Committee
subcommittee
is
at
2.9
or
100
million
dollars
lives
the
Senate's
right
at
3
billion.
D
D
Similar,
sits
similar
pattern
for
a
home
where
you
see
that's,
why
appropriation
FY
appropriation
of
up
950
million,
the
Senate's
rate
on
the
houses
at
8:50
and
the
president
Brooklyn
mill
funding,
HOPWA,
pretty
close
356
last
year,
the
house
of
that
same
number
and
the
Senate
in
the
president
or
330
in
terms
of
Tiger,
no
funding
in
the
house
and
in
the
Senate
550
million
about
50
million
above
what
was
last
year.
So
what's
going
to
happen,
take
the
prognosticator,
but
there
are
some
options.
D
One
option
is
going
to
be
a
you
know:
small
bills
put
together
like
transportation
and
HUD,
and
maybe
justice.
There
could
be
a
continuing
resolution,
which
we
had
seen
the
last
couple
years,
where
Congress
would
approve
for
a
certain
period
of
time,
maybe
to
the
end
of
this
fiscal
calendar
year
or
for
90
days
of
funding
for
all
the
FAA
federal
agencies,
or
there
could
be
a
continuing
resolution
and
continued
work
on
the
appropriations.
D
However,
we
by
late
September,
we
should
know
more
and
we
will
keep
watching
it
there's
also
in
addition
to
these
Visser's
there's
also
other
politicians,
the
whole
issue
of
immigration.
Even
several
bills,
introduced
one
bill
without
more
restrictions,
it
would
put
more
money
into
the
Department
of
Homeland
Security
for
enforcement.
It
would
also,
at
the
city,
is
considered
to
a
violate
certain
federal
criteria,
with
one
being
working
with
ice
on
detention
of
people
who
may
not
have
immigration
status
and
also
on
the
Tanners.
They
would
lose
their
Community
Development
Block
Grant
funding.
D
We
don't
have
a
gel,
so
I'm,
not
sure
it
would
impact
us.
The
other
issue
is
tax
reform.
It's
how
to
pay.
For
that.
There
has
been
a
lot
of
discussion
of
the
next
thing
that
Congress
wants
to
tackle
is
tax
reform,
but
the
last
time
it
was
done
30
years
ago
it
took
about
a
year
to
do
it.
Infrastructure
has
been
proposed
by
the
president,
but
it's
been
no
action
at
all
in
the
house.
D
In
the
Senate,
the
debt
ceiling
I
think
the
Treasury
secretary
suggests
that
it
needs
to
be
done
before
the
end
of
September.
Federal
Aviation
Administration
that
bill
is
to
be
reauthorized
and
that's
through
September
30,
but
it
can
be
extended
and
then
healthcare,
but
there's
a
bipartisan
group
working
on
that.
G
You,
madam
chair
mr.
Ranieri
and
I,
you
know
we
all
follow
what
Congress
does
in
the
newspapers
was
helpful
to
see
analysis
here.
But
one
thing
you
do
hear
is
that
there's
a
lot
of
stuff
going
on
administrative
leave
and
that
is
more
hard
to
decipher
from
what
gets
reported.
So
what
are
your
thoughts
about
that
and
have
there
been
any
kind
of
significant
changes
that
have
resulted
from
administrative
changes?
Nine.
D
Tiers
Council
Council
President
Johnson
thanks
that
question
has
been
a
lot
of
administrative
executive
orders
by
the
president.
Some
of
those
early
on
have
been
challenged
and
made
it
the
way
to
the
Supreme
Court
one,
the
ones
most
frequent,
we're
seeing
a
particularly
area
of
a
border
security,
criminal
justice,
immigration.
Mr.
sessions
has
been
met,
coming
out
with
some
orders
or
criteria
for
funding
for
the
Burrell
grant,
suggesting
that
the
receive
funding
for
the
Byrne
grant
the
recipient
I
think
in
our
case
the
recipient.
There
is
Hennepin
County.
D
They
would
need
to
certify
that
they
do
not
that
they
that
they
share
information
with
ice.
They
let
them
know
when
they
have
someone
detained,
and
it
would
hold
someone
for
48
hours.
That
whole
thing
has
been
challenged
by
the
city
of
Chicago
and
other
cities
had
joined
in.
On
that
case,
saying
that
violates
a
certain
segment
and
I'll
put
the
FIR
to
the
City
Attorney
of
the
Constitution.
H
Madam
chair
in
mr.
Ranieri,
that's
correct.
The
city
of
Chicago
has
filed
suit,
particularly
the
48-hour
detention
provision.
There
are
a
number
of
federal
court
cases
as
well
as
I,
think
very
reasonably.
The
state
of
Massachusetts
Supreme
Court,
our
federal
district
court
here
in
the
District
of
Minnesota,
said
it
violates
the
due
process
clause
to
hold
anyone
longer
than
otherwise
required
because
of
the
criminal
charges.
So
just
a
request
by
a
immigration
control
and
enforcement
to
hold
somebody
for
48
hours.
H
D
Are
other
administrative
actives
in
an
area
of
refugees
and
immigration,
refugees,
definitions
of
who
could
be
allowed
under
the
country?
The
whole
definition
of
family
that
was
finally
settled,
or
at
least
almost
settled,
there's
also
been
other
issues
about
how
many
folks
can
be
given
certain
types
of
visas
all
been
done:
administrative
Lee,
an
area
of
housing
and
HUD.
There's
not.
We
have
not
seen
as
many
administrative
borders
or
not
in
a
whole
area.
