An

is
the

A
C
D
You
very
much
man
vice
president
there's
only
two
items
coming
from
the
health
environment
and
community
engagement
committee.
The
first
is
accepting
a
federal
grant,
it's
over
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
serve
pregnant
and
parenting
at-risk
teens,
and
the
second
is
two
more
appointees
to
the
Southside
Green
Zone
task
force
happy
to
stand
other
questions.
A
E
Madam
chair
I
did
communicate
with
IG
our
staff
I
thought
that
was
important,
that
we
put
in
our
agenda
that
we
don't
support,
removing
state
and
local
government
taxes
from
deductibility
and
federal
income
tax
in
the
in
the
income
tax
reform,
I
communicated
with
staff.
Yesterday
it's
about
30
that
did
the
best
information
I
could
get
for
me.
I
Jerris
deficit
about
37%
I,
think
it
is
of
minnesotans
use
that
deduction
and
I
assume
that
the
number
would
be
perhaps
similar
for
the
city
of
Minneapolis.
A
So
I
don't
and
I
apologize
I,
don't
recall
that
I
saw
suggested
language
yet
from
staff,
so
we
probably
will
have
that
at
the
full
council
meeting
and
I
will
ensure
that
if
there
is
a
language
suggestion
before
that
to
all
council
members
ahead
of
the
council
meeting,
so
you
can
review
that
and
some
background
on
the
issue.
You
know
just
also
note
that
we
did
also
discuss
in
committee
some
what
I
would
call
more
minor
just
a
couple
of
language
changes.
A
So
I
made
just
note
that,
and
that
would
be
in
some
of
the
background
descriptions
of
the
issue,
so
not
changing
other
positions,
but
maybe
just
changing
a
little
bit
of
language
so,
but
that
would
come
forward
for
Friday
and
we're
looking
for
a
version
that
we
can
send
out
ahead
of
them.
So
you
can
take
a
look.
Alright,
thank
you
for
that
council
president.
Next
we
have
Public
Safety
civil
rights
and
emergency
management
with
the
Vice.
Thank.
D
D
That's
all
right,
I'm
councilmember
yang
is
unable
to
be
here
today.
So
I'm
doing
the
report.
We
have
five
items
that
we'll
be
ringing
forward
from
Public
Safety
civil
rights
and
emergency
management
committee.
The
first
four
were
consent
items
without
much
discussion
at
all.
One
of
them
is
authorizing
the
increase
to
a
contract
with
Hennepin
County,
Human,
Services
and
other
ones,
an
increase
to
a
contract
with
the
Minnesota
Crisis
Intervention
Team
Officers
Association.
D
The
third
item
is
a
accepting
a
emergency
management
performance
grant
award
for
$30,000
to
provide
some
funds
to
assist
local
governments
in
preparing
for
hazards.
The
fourth
item
is:
accepting
a
urban
area
security
initiative,
grant
award
that's
for
over
$900,000
and
that's
to
help
us
address
risk,
driven
and
capabilities,
based
planning
organization,
equipment,
training
and
exercise
needs
of
high
threat,
high
density,
urban
areas,
our
city
and
then
a
fifth
item.
D
We
did
have
a
fair
bit
of
discussion
about
this,
had
to
do
with
the
Minneapolis
Police
Department
mobile
water,
horn,
video
camera
equipment
and
the
audit
report.
We
received
the
audit
report.
We
discussed
it
at
some
length
and
there's
three
staff
directions
that
came
forward,
and
one
of
the
things
we
discussed
is
how
the
audit
didn't
have
the
police
departments
response
to
the
findings.
So
we
directed
them
to
come
back
with
the
response
at
November
29th
committee
meeting.
D
We
also
directed
police
department
to
report
quarterly,
beginning
next
year
and
I'm
regarding
the
operation
of
the
cameras
and
their
staff,
and
we
also
directed
the
auditor's
office
to
work
with
the
police
department
to
address
any
outstanding
issues
that
have
been
raised
by
the
previous
audit
audits
of
the
program
and
to
report
back
on
progress
by
the
end
of
February.
2018
I
can
stand
for
questions
on
any
of
those
all.
A
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
The
committee
will

acceptance
for
Florida
International
University,

Thank.
G
You,
madam,
vice
president,
a
ways
and
means
will
bring
forward
ten
items
for
approval
on
Friday.
The
first
five
are
various
legal
settlements.
Another
item
is
a
waiver
of
conflict
of
interest
for
grape
plant
moody.
There
are
four
contract
amendments,
including
one
at
the
Convention
Center
for
the
operation
of
the
events,
business
management
system,
as
well
as
the
University
of
Minnesota
for
the

walk
system

apple
developer
enterprise
program
as
an
a
final
contract
amendment
is
with
the
University
of
Minnesota
for
the
creative
city
challenge:
temporary
public
art
Commission.
G
A
A
Refer
it
back
to
staff
or
I'm,
not
understanding,
just
the
posture
and
then
I
had
a
question
whether
there
was
a
timeframe
given
for
when
staff
would
come
forward
on
this
item,
I
will
say:
I
know
it's
their
sensitivity
when
this
is
not
an
item.
That's
in
my
board,
where
I've
kind
of
had
more
direct
interaction,
but
I
will
say
I've
heard
from
residents
about
this
issue.
A
I
worked
on
kind
of
a
similar
project,
although
much
smaller
in
my
ward
and
sometimes
I
feel
a
little
challenged
by
the
options
that
are
presented
to
us
as
council
members.
Is
it
an
all-or-nothing
equation
around
250
properties
within
a
historic
district
which
just
seems
a
little
too
black-and-white,
especially
for
districts
such
as
these,
which
are
based
on
the
social
history
as
opposed
to
the
architectural
significance
of
these
homes?
So,
just
wanting
to
get
a
little
bit
more
information
about
the
posture
of
this
and
what's
next.
H
I'm
happy
to
start
and
the
clerk
maybe
wants
to
chime
in
as
well.
The
item
was
referred
back
to
staff.
There
was
a
staff
direction
by
council
president
that
the
committee
adopted
it
did
not
have
a
timeline
for
a
staff
report
back
or
any
kind
of
indication
of
staff
resources.
For
this
we
are
the
interim
protections
that
the
homes
are
currently
under.
There's
250
some
homes
will
expire
in
October
I
guess
later
this
week,
maybe
they've.
H
E
E
You
know,
as
council
member
bender
said,
the
interim
protection
expires,
but
if
there
was
an
application
for
a
demo
permit
for
any
of
the
properties
in
the
area,
they
would
go
through
a
historic
review.
So
it
isn't
like
we're
blanket
taking
the
authority
to
say
yes
or
no
to
a
demo
permit
request
it
will.
It
will
have
a
historic
review
as
part
of
the
just
a
routine
process.
E
A
Guess
I'll
say
I'm
familiar
with
that
process
again,
having
had
both
in
I've
nominated
several
properties
over
the
years
and
one
district,
so
I've
kind
of
see
how
this
process
plays
out
again.
I'll
just
say
these
are
a
lot
of
homes,
250
properties
and
I.
Believe
the
interim
protection
has
been
in
place
for
over
one
year,
which
is
a
long
period
of
time,
I'll
just
say
again
for
a
process
that
feels
confusing
to
property
owners
unless
they
are
kind
of
into
the
weeds
of
how
this
works.
This.
A
This
is
a
difficult
thing
to
explain
to
to
to
a
group
of
property
owners,
especially
when
some
seem
a
little
bit
more
bought
into
one
in
a
historic
designation
than
others
who
may
not
want
that
to
happen
to
their
home
again.
I
just
say
this
from
experience
working
with
other
historic
districts.
These
are
difficult
processes
and
sometimes
I
feel
like
the
longer
we
draw
this
out,
we're
not
doing
a
benefit
either
to
ourselves
or
our
staff
around
just
making
a
decision
one
way
or
another
again
and
I
also
feel
like.
A
E
Man,
I'm
sure,
I
couldn't
agree
with
you
more.
You
know
it's
the
one
thing
that
was
really
beneficial
about
this
for
everybody
that
lives
in
that
district
is
they
had
a
lovely
history
of
hope.
You
know
who
the
who
the
architects
were
on
their
homes,
what
additions
have
been
made,
and
so
on
and
so
forth.
There's
valuable
information
for
the
people
that
are
involved
in
the
district,
but
you
know
I
have
the
same
thing.
E
A
Madam
chair
I
mean
I
boy.
This
is
weirdo
and
I'm
talking
when
I'm
in
the
conversation
and
and
so
I
again
I
apologize
to
folks
I
just
want
to
note
for
council
members
and
again
some
people
are
super
familiar
with
these
processes.
My
guess
is.
Other
council
members
just
haven't
had
that
personal
experience
yet,
but
there
are
other
processes
to
designate
these
these
properties
that
do
not
it's
only
the
local
designation
that
puts
restrictions
on
what
happens
with
how
you
modify
the
home
or
demolition
or
other
kinds
of
things.
A
So
there's
a
state
designation
process
and
there
is
a
federal
designation
process.
Both
of
these
are
processes
that
do
recognize
the
historic
significance
of
the
home.
It's
they're
both
detailed
application
processes
that
ensure
kind
of
the
same
kind
of
rigor
that
goes
into
our
process
processes
around
local
designation.
It
is
only
the
local
designation
process
that
provides
actual
protection
to
the
home,
whether
it's
the
exterior
or
the
interior,
and
then
there's
kind
of
a
box
around
kind
of
the
options
of
what
you
could
do
within
that
process.
How
restrictive
and
there's
only
a
certain
amount?
A
H
You,
madam
chair,
I,
actually
really
appreciate
you.
Bringing
this
up.
I
have
a
lot
of
concerns
about
how
we're
doing
the
designation
process,
particularly
for
cultural
districts,
that
don't
have
the
architectural
significance
as
the
driving
factor.
As
you
mentioned,
for
over
a
year
and
a
half
you
know,
250
plus
homeowners
have
had
their
homes
under
interim
protection,
which
we
had
a
petition
with
the
vast
majority
of
them
who
were
opposed
to
the
district,
and
they
were
stuck.
Many
of
them
came
up
to
me
after
our
meeting
very
confused
about
what
this
means.
H
What
the
next
steps
are,
which
staff
are
gonna
work
on
it?
Could
they
just
come
back
at
any
time?
Neighborhood
organization
has
been
organizing
against
it
along
with
number
of
community
organizations.
To
be
honest,
I
would
have
supported
simply
you
know,
pending
the
process
and
not
sort
of
leaving
it
hanging
out
there.
I
don't
know
that
there
was
support
for
that
decision.
Now
in
the
council.
There
certainly
wasn't
in
the
committee,
so
I
think
it's
an
important
discussion
going
forward,
though,
like
what's
the
process
that
we
use
to
nominate
districts.
H
This
was
nominated
by
one
HPC,
commissioner,
and
then
the
interim
protections
came
immediately
under
effect.
Perhaps
we
want
to
elevate
those
decisions
to
council
I
think
there
could
be
other
policy
considerations
to
make
sure
that
property
owners
in
our
community
that
may
be
low
income
or
have
financial
challenges
aren't
burdened
with
interim
protections
in
an
indefinite
time
period,
when
we
don't
have
the
staff
resources
to
really
sensitively
approach
cultural
designations
in
a
way,
that's
really
truly
engaging
the
community
I
think.
C
A
I
don't
know
if
councilmember
bender
has
a
response
to
that
I'll
just
say
to
you
that
that
might
depend
on
your
question
the
to
the
realtor.
So
because,
again,
that's
the
difference
between
you
know
what
is
the
actual
process
and
then
kinda.
What's
a
little
bit
of
the
communication
that
happens
through
trying
to
sell
your
property,
okay,.
