A
My
name
is
blonde
yang
and
the
chair
of
this
committee
with
me
today
or
council
members
Reich
Quincy
and
Council
President
Johnson.
We
are
quorum
of
this
committee
and
we
can
conduct
the
business
of
this
committee.
I
want
to
first
note
that
council
members,
Palmisano
and
Gordon
I
will
not
be
joining
us
today.
We
have
family
obligations
that
they
are
attending
to
and
despite
that,
we
do
have
a
quorum,
and
so
we
can
conduct
the
business
of
this
committee
today
on
erm
agenda.
We
have
six
items.
Three
of
them
are
consent.
A
Items
in
three
of
them
are
discussion
items
the
first
three
consent
items
are
a
contract
amendment
with
automated
con
system
for
continued
pawnshop
transaction
record.
Storage.
Monitoring
second
item
is
a
contract
amendment
with
advanced
Public
Safety
Inc
for
electronic
citation
writer
maintenance
and
support.
Third
item
is
contract
with
the
Minneapolis
Public
Schools
for
school
resource
officers.
A
Fourth,
item
discussion
items
now:
are
the
four
thousand
2017
first
quarter:
reports
of
the
contract,
compliance
division
of
the
Civil,
Rights
Department
and
then
the
last
two
items
are
contracts
with.
It
was
very
United
area
partners
for
West,
Broadway,
collaborative
public
safety
strategies
and
a
contract
with
Native
American,
Community,
Development,
Institute
little
earth
and
surrounding
area
partners
for
collaborative
public
safety
strategies.
So
with
that,
I
will
address
the
first
three
items,
which
are
the
content
items
at
Council
members.
Anyone
want
to
pull
anything
off
for
discussion
all
right.
A
Seeing
none
I
will
just
make
a
short
comment
about
item
number
three,
which
is
the
contract
with
Minneapolis
Public
Schools
for
school
resource
officers,
and
this
is
specifically
just
for
the
summer
months
to
cover
the
summer
months.
It's
not
the
full
contract.
The
full
contract
will
probably
come
out
in
the
next
month
or
two,
and
that
will
be
you
know
the
full
contract
of
the
entire
school
year,
and
so
just
wanted
to
point
that
out
for
folks
outside
of
that,
you
know
it's,
it's
relatively
small
amounts.
Are
you
know
about?
A
Twenty
thousand
dollars
is
to
get
us
through
the
summer.
So
that's
about
it:
okay,
I'm.
Seeing
that
no
one
wanted
to
pull
anything
off
the
agenda
items.
I
will
move
all
three
content
items
who
are
approval,
any
discussion
all
right,
seeing
none
all
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye
aye,
any
opposed.
Mike
motion
carries
the
fourth
item,
which
is
the
discussion
item.
The
first
discussion
item
is
the
2017
first
quarter
report
and
Sean
Skippy
you're
up
right.
Yes,.
C
Thank
You
mr.
chair
council
members,
my
name
is
Sean
Scabbia
and
the
contract
compliance
division
director
here
in
the
Minneapolis
Department
of
Civil
Rights
contract
compliance,
division,
monitors,
City,
Minneapolis
projects
and
contracts
to
ensure
the
minority,
women,
low-income
business
owners
and
workers
have
access
to
contracting
and
employment
opportunities
and
that
workers
are
paid.
The
correct
wages
on
city
projects
I'm
here
today
to
present
the
divisions
quarterly
report
for
the
first
quarter
of
2017
running
from
January
to
March
31st
of
this
year.
C
So,
on
this
slide
amends
start
with
the
city,
small
and
underutilized
business
programs
and
our
outcomes
for
the
first
quarter,
which
of
course,
is
the
city's
primary
minority
and
women
business
inclusion
program
during
this
quarter.
The
division
reviewed
39
contracts
for
SUV
P
goal
setting
and
set
goals
on
20
of
these
contracts.
Also,
during
the
first
quarter,
the
division
completed
nine
pre-award
reviews
of
these
nine
reviews.
C
Four
of
the
bidders
committed
to
meeting
the
goal
in
five
bidders
SOT
award
of
the
contract
through
a
demonstration
of
good-faith
efforts
and
of
those
five
that
sought
award
on
good-faith
efforts.
The
division
accepted
three
of
those
and
rejected
two
and
then
one
of
those
two
rejected
firms
requested
a
reconsideration
meeting,
at
which
point
the
divisions,
determination
was
upheld.
C
The
division
also
processes,
applications
or
certifications
in
its
role
as
a
certifying
member
agency
with
Minnesota
unified
certification
program
and
in
the
first
quarter
of
2017
a
division
certified
six
new
firms.
There
are
now
a
total
of
550
certified
firms
in
the
cities,
SUV
marketplace
that
includes
127
that
are
based
within
the
city
of
Minneapolis.
C
On
this
slide,
you
see
a
comparison
here
of
the
participation
that
the
division
has
reported
on
closed
projects
since
2014.
For
the
first
quarter,
there
was
8
participate,
percent
participation
for
MDE
firms
and
7
percent
participation
for
WBE
certified
firms.
Both
these
percentages
actually
constitute
an
increase
over
2016
percentages,
so
it
is
early,
but
these
numbers
show
an
increase
over
last
year
and
some
positive
early
outcomes.
These
also
matched
the
average
participation
level
since
2014.
So
over
that
three
and
a
quarter
year
period
it
matches
those
numbers.
C
C
As
you
all
probably
know,
the
city
follows
the
goals
established
by
the
Minnesota
Department
of
Human
Rights
for
the
Twin
Cities
area
that
includes
Minneapolis.
Those
are
32%
minority
participation
and
6%
female
participation
and
the
division
monitors
this
workforce
participation
on
projects
based
off
of
data
submitted
and
certified
payroll
reports.
So
that's
where
we
get
the
percentages
that
you're
seeing
we
closed
14
projects
with
work
course
goals
in
the
first
quarter.
These
contracts
totaled
about
three
hundred
twenty-three
thousand
hours
and
similar
to
the
small
business
numbers.
C
We
see
some
promising
early
outcomes
with
about
eighty
one
thousand
six
hundred
hours
worked
by
minority
employees.
This
constitutes
twenty
five
percent
participation.
So
that's
a
four
percent
increase
over
twenty
sixteen
and
actually
also
over
twenty
fifteen
and
employees
identifying
as
female
worked
about
seventeen
thousand
nine
hundred
hours.
This
comprises
six
percent
female
participation.
So
that's
a
one
percent
increase
over
twenty
sixteen
and
actually
meets
the
city's
goal
for
female
workforce
participation.
C
And
the
other
programs
that
we
administer
addition
to
SUV
P
in
workforce
formative,
actions,
section
three
and
prevailing
wage
requirements
on
the
first
quarter
of
2017,
we
approved
twenty-eight
formative
action
plans.
We
received
two
section:
three
resident
applications
and
recovered
$1,300
1308
dollars
in
unpaid
wages,.
C
Matt
can
clue
with
the
presentation
of
data
for
the
report.
They
include
a
link
report,
more
detailed
information
on
the
divisions
work
in
the
first
quarter
and
just
wanted
to.
If
you
have
questions
about
that,
you
can
review
that
in
more
detail
as
well.
I'm
certainly
available
for
questions.
In
addition,
if
the
committee
has
any
overall,
the
division
has
a
high
workload.
We
administered
five
different
programs
for
the
city
that
seek
to
increase
participation
and
ensure
that
workers
are
paid
fairly.
C
The
division
is
grateful
for
the
continued
support,
the
city
leadership
and
we
look
forward
as
a
division
to
continuing
our
progress
to
help
create
a
more
inclusive
and
equitable
City
with
that
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
further
questions.
Otherwise,
thank
you
for
the
mr.
chair
for
the
committee's
time,
Council.
D
C
Mr.
chairman
or
president,
thank
you
for
the
question.
There
are
a
series
of
requirements
under
section
3
and
they're,
based
on
income
and
demographic
and
center.
When
someone
applies
to
those
programs,
they
have
to
demonstrate
that
they
meet
the
requirements
for
certification
under
section
3.
There's
actually
certification
for
both
residents
and
businesses
under
Section
3,
and
these
are
these
demonstrate
resident
applications.
So
they.
D
A
Councilmembers
any
other
questions
I'd
seen,
none
mr.
Spivey,
thank
you
for
the
report
and
with
that
I
will
move
to
receive
and
file
the
contract,
compliance
division,
2017
first
quarter
report.
Any
discussion,
I
see
none
all
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye
aye
any
opposed
motion
carries.
Thankfully
she
could.
Thank
you.
A
The
last
two
items
for
discussion
are
the
contracts.
It
feels
very
United
communities
and
the
Native
American
community,
Vulcan
Institute,
and
no
these
are
kind
of
similar,
so
I'm
just
going
to
combine
both
of
them
together.
You
know
at
some
points
we
will
vote
on
them
separately,
but
we
will
just
combine
them
together
as
a
discussion
and
have
missed
articles
and
come
up
and
give
a
short
presentation
and
then
we'll
kind
of
go
from
there.
E
Oh
well,
we
can
start
with
less
broadly.
We
have
six
award
e.
The
first
is
Broadway
vibration
with
and
so
the
way
that
I
walk
through.
This
is
the
title
of
the
project,
the
lead
person
who
submitted
a
proposal
and
what
organization
they're
from
and
then
who
their
collaborative
partners
are
and
then
the
amount
that
they
requested
for
funding
and
the
amount
that
they
were
funded
or
that
their
proposed
to
be
funded.
E
E
E
E
E
That
sorry,
that
is,
two
uses:
basketball
and
they're
going
to
be
doing
community
service
in
the
community
along
West
Broadway,
getting
out
meeting
businesses
seeing
how
they
can
be
a
part
of
of
the
positive
activity
on
West
bottling
and
bring
some
positive
activity.
They
are
doing
some
community
service
they're
also
going
to
lead
a
planning
community-wide
three-on-three
basketball
tournament,
which
would
be
a
culmination
of
their
mentoring
program
over
the
summer.
E
The
next
program
is
called
man
up.
That
proposal
was
submitted
by
Cory
cross
scene
of
the
man
up
club
and
his
partners,
our
families,
Avenue
eatery
and
US
Bank
on
West
Broadway
history,
folder
request
was
forty,
nine
thousand
802
and
he
recommended
for
funding
at
37,000.
He
also
has
a
summer
mentoring
program,
youth
leadership,
mentoring
programs
that
will
engage
with
young
men
from
North
Minneapolis.
E
That
will
also
be
working
on
a
volunteering
along
West
Broadway
to
do
community
service
and
participating
along
with
businesses
as
well,
and
each
of
those
two
mentoring
programs
will
have
15
use
15
young
men.
The
next
proposal
is
called
wind
back
the
community
that
was
submitted
by
a
Leslie
resident
Ragland.
She
is
the
vice
chair
of
n-double-a-cp.
E
She
has
a
number
of
community
partners:
houston
white
men,
remembrance,
citywide,
Student
Advisory
Board,
been
double-a-c-p
chair
of
the
youth
division,
eighties
in
color,
counter
space
gallery,
former
Harrison
Neighborhood
Association
african-american,
Democratic
caucus,
Shiloh,
temple,
International
and
cleaning
for
change.
Their
proposal
request
was
48,000
560
and
they
were
funded
at
36,000.
E
They
have
three
core
initiatives
along
with
a
summer
celebration
that
will
take
place
along
West
Broadway,
which
the
community
at
large
will
be
invited
to
join.
The
first
is
called
cleaning
for
change.
The
next
is
called,
don't
complain,
activate
street
entertainment
and
the
summer
celebration
and
youth
will
assist
with
hosting
for
additional
events
effect
and
so
art
gallery
skateboard
competition
in
a
spoken
word.
Competition
outreach
for
these
events
will
take
place
along
West
Broadway
and
in
partnership
with
the
businesses
and
partners
that
they
have
in
North
Minneapolis.
E
The
final
idea
is
the
West
Broadway
community
patrols.
That
proposal
was
submitted
by
melodic
Simmons
of
one
family,
one
community,
their
partners,
urban
youth
conservation,
their
proposal
request
was
$50,000
and
were
funded
at
twenty
four
thousand.
They
will
develop
a
staff
safety
patrol
team
that
will
include
young
adults
on
West
Broadway
and
that
we
don't
devoted
to
crime
prevention
and
positive
community
engagement.
E
E
So
the
for
all
of
these
engage
youth,
but
four
of
the
five
very
particularly
have
set
numbers
of
you
that
will
be
participating
in
in
this
collaborative
public
safety
strategies
opportunity.
One
of
the
things
that
we
heard
from
community
to
our
engagement
process
was
that
youth
don't
have
enough
to
do
in
the
summer.
They
need
activities
to
participate
in
and
part
of
the
reason
we
were
selected
either.
E
Review
teams
was
that
they
were
very
strong
and
engaging
youth
and
bringing
them
to
break
down
the
silos
that
happen,
along
with
the
relationships
between
businesses
and
visitors
and
other
community
element,
which
broadly
second
move
on.
If
you
have,
you
have
any
questions
for
the
West
Broadway,
you.
E
So
we
move
on
to
little
earth.
We
have
five
projects
that
have
been
funded
through
that
process.
The
first
is
called
the
little
earth
mosaic
project
that
was
submitted
by
Candida
Gonzalez
and
her
partners
at
some
good
spacing
or
she's
from
good
faith
mail,
her
partners,
our
little
earth
Youth
Development
Center
and
the
Minneapolis
American
Indian
Center,
their
proposal
request
is
42
to
75
and
they
were
funded
at
40,000.
E
Their
program
includes
five
stipended
youth
leaders
and
they
will
be
doing
a
mosaic
camp
over
the
summer.
Some
of
those
projects,
some
of
those
events,
will
happen
indoors
and
weather
permitting
they'll
bring
them
outside
so
that
they
can
activate
spaces
in
a
positive
way
and
that
will
include
opportunities
for
youth
elders,
those
with
disabilities
and
other
passerby
to
participate
in
the
baking
that
will
be
happening.
E
The
next
program
was
submitted
by
Neapolis
pal
and
that
one
is
the
translation
I'm
going
to
read
the
translation
of
what
the
Ojibwe
language
is.
A
young
woman
leading
a
good
life
that
was
submitted
by
Cyril
officer,
Sheryl
Lee
Goodman
of
Minneapolis
Police
Department
Pal
is
a
501
C
3,
so
they
are
not
through
the
city's
budgeting
processes.
Two
separate
entities,
their
partners
are
the
American
Indian
Center
Minnesota
Indian
Women's
Resource
Center.
Their
proposal
request
was
43
875
and
they
were
funded
out.
E
E
E
The
widest
e
primeira
leader
focus
is
going
to
be
on
extending
hours.
There
was
a
lot
of
desire
to
find
ways
to
engage
older
youth
at
little
earth,
the
older
teens
and
so
they're
going
to
be
working
with
four
teams
to
provide
activities
that
will
be
draw
for
the
older
youth,
as
well
as
having
hours
that
will
reflect
the
times
that
the
older
youth
need
someplace
to
go.
E
The
next
idea
is
called
little
Earth,
Memorial
Park,
that
is,
that
was
submitted
by
going
Jones
of
the
little
earth
residents
association.
Her
partners
are
the
little
earth
of
United
tribes,
Housing
Corporation
and
the
Minneapolis
American
Indian
Center.
Their
proposal
request
was
79
752
and
they
are
funded
at
60,000.
E
Renovating
and
installing
a
new
playground
on
the
property
there,
they
have
a
playground
that
is
in
very,
very
poor
condition
that
the
children
aren't
able
to
use.
It's
also
a
deterrent
from
folks
gathering
in
a
positive
way
in
that
space,
and
so
this
is
essentially
a
subhead
strategy,
so
crime
prevention
through
Environmental
Design,
which
will
deter
criminal
behavior
through
changing
the
space
in
the
environment
and
the
final
proposal
is
the
Lake
Street
activation
and
that
was
submitted
by
Alison
Sharkey
at
the
Lake
Street
Council
and
her
partner
is
a
division
of
Indian
work.
E
They
have
a
series
of
events
and
activities
that
they
will
be
doing
around
Fitness,
both
on-site
out
little
earth
and
outside
of
little
earth,
and
that
is
also
in
response
to
some
of
the
the
community
conversations
we
had
about
oftentimes
residents
at
little
earthville
isolated
and
that
they
would
like
to
have
better
connections
with
the
community.
So
with
that,
that's
the
11
proposals
that
we
selected.
A
All
right,
you
know
so
we'll
do
it
like
this
first
we'll
take
questions
with
regards
any
of
these
proposals
from
this
article,
after
that,
I
was
contacted
by
some
folks
in
the
community
wanted
to
address
the
council.
You
know
with
regard
to
this,
and
so
we
take
a
few
of
those
comments
and
then,
after
that
we
will
just
have
general
comments,
not
generally
speaking
from
any
of
the
content
and
receptors.
So,
first
and
foremost,
no
we'll
take
questions
with
regards
to
kind
of
the
technical
stuff
that
this
archibald
could
answer.
D
E
F
Thank
You
mr.
chair,
it's
not
really
a
question
I
guess,
but
Miss
Archibald,
if
you
could
probably
just
help,
explain
a
little
background.
We
went
in
detail
individually
on
these
award
recipients.
What
if
we
could
spend
it
just
a
few
moments
highlighting
the
process?
What
you're
trying
to
accomplish
the
scoring
matrix
and
then
who
is
involved
in
making
those
decisions
and
and
did
the
community,
feel
like
they
had
an
input
to
this
process?
F
E
E
We
also
invited
the
community
to
participate
in
the
selection
process,
and
so
the
review
teams
consisted
of
some
city
staff
from
the
Health,
Department
and
NCR,
but
also
we
opened
it
up
to
the
community
and
we
didn't
just
open
it
up
to
the
community.
We
brought
the
review
sessions
out
to
the
community,
so
I
think
this
is
a
great
time
to
say
thank
you
to
the
organizations
that
assisted
us
with
providing
space
so
that
we
could
do
that.
E
Some
of
those
locations
were
the
Minnesota
Chippewa
tribes,
building,
East,
Phillips
Park
little
earth
the
we
were
aboard
room
on
the
north
side.
We
had
neon
and
the
middle
I
bury.
We
also
held
community
meetings
at
Shiloh
and
NASA,
and
not
so.
There
were
what
a
wide
variety
of
spaces
and
places
up
community
had
access
to
participate
in
this
process,
but
so
the
community
did
they
were
invited
and
they
were
able
to
participate
in
the
selection
process
of
scoring
and
reading
the
reviews
very.
F
Good,
thank
you.
Obviously
it's
very
innovative.
It
must
because
it's
the
only
one
out
there
and
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
we
spent
some
time
talking
about
the
process,
so
be
at
our
last
committee
meeting
that
chair
invited
that
as
a
agenda
item
when
we
talk
through
that
process,
but
I
thought
it
might
be
good
to
ground
everybody's
understanding
of
who
is
involved
in
what
we're
trying
to
achieve,
and
so
thank
you
for
accomplishing
that
a
great
list
of
projects
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
thank
you
so.
A
Miss
Carr
told
why
was
there
a
need
for
a
12%
administration
fee?
You
know
for
the
fiscal
agents,
I
mean
I
just
feel
like
that's
way
too
months.
You
know,
within
the
context
of
you,
know
two
different
segments
or
two
different
parts
of
the
city
that
are
doing.
You
know,
projects
innovative
product
projects
necessarily
but
I
mean
12%,
and
that
just
seems
a
little
bit
hefty
I
think.
Why
was
that
I
got
in?
Why
was
that
done?
Thank.
E
You,
mr.
chair,
so
the
collaborative
public
safety
strategies
process
is
more
than
just
a
grant
process.
It's
more
than
just
and
we're
asking
our
fiscal
agents
to
do
more
than
just
pass
through
the
funds.
We're
asking
them
to
provide
additional
staff
time
to
provide
for
a
cohort
type
of
model.
So
each
of
these
awardees
the
north
side
and
the
south
side
they're
going
to
meet
regularly
with
their
TA
per
Twista
with
the
fiscal
agent
provider
as
well
as
with
each
other.
E
So
we
want
them
to
be
able
to
to
meet
and
and
build
off
of
one
another
and
troubleshoot
and
help
each
other
with
the
execution
of
their
projects.
And
this
isn't
just
about
funding
individual
projects
but
really
bringing
the
community
together
around
public
safety
and
breaking
down
the
barriers
that
there
are
so
there's
a
lot
of
one-off
projects.
And
we
want
this
to
be
seen
as
these
are
five
five
great
proposals
from
North
Minneapolis
or
six
great
proposals
from
North
Minneapolis
and
five.
E
Some
little
earth
and
all
of
these
people
together
have
a
really
great
energy.
And
we
saw
that
through
some
of
the
proposal,
development
workshops
that
there's
a
big
need
for
people
to
come
together
and
a
desire
for
them
to
do
that.
So
our
fiscal
agents
are
going
to
provide,
provide
that
as
well
as
technical
assistance
for
making
sure
that
the
programs
are
being
executed
well
and
on
time,
because
these
are
really
community-based
efforts.
So
they're
going
to
need
a
little
bit
more
attention
in
time
than
been
a
typical
granting
process.
Okay,.
D
D
A
A
A
B
B
B
Was
approached
during
the
workshop
by
Robert
Logan
from
92
for
a
partnership
at
the
501
C
3,
and
then
I
was
advised
by
him
to
work
with
community
leaders
on
pretty
much
people
that
already
established
within
the
community
arm
to
partner
with
them,
and
my
original
idea
was
to
I
written
grassroots
I'll.
Pretty
much
have
all
residents
pretty
much
just
have
nothing
to
do
with
nonprofit
organizations.
So
I
took
a
professional
advice
to
build
off
of
the
nonprofit
organization
already
there
and
then
on
the
25th
and
the
24th
of
May.
B
Last
month,
the
Friday
and
Thursday
before
the
deadline,
the
Sunday
deadline.
I,
was
caught
by
all
my
partners
that
I
built
partnerships
with
one
of
them
was
Frank
downwind.
Other
one
was
Robert
litigated.
He
actually
told
me
within
a
meeting
that
he
arrives
me
to
drop
my
partnership
with
Tim
and
that
he
would
not
be
a
501c3
fiscal
agent
for
any
other
applicants
to
the
script
and
those
are
common
straight
from
his
mouth
and
I
find
it
very
concerning
like
that.
B
G
I'm
really
nervous
I
knew
it
is
Asami.
My
name
is
Cindy
right.
I'm
a
little
earth
resident
I've
been
a
little
earth
resident
for
me,
myself,
13
years
on,
I've
worked
on
various
places
within
little
Earth's
being
Jennifer's
up
to
the
gardener.
For
six
years
now,
a
lot
of
big
organizations
came
in
left,
I'm,
not
sure,
what's
really
going
on,
because
I
do
not
want
to
disrespect
any
of
my
elders
or
on
the
youth
programs.
I'm.
Sorry
I'm,
just
really
nervous
I.
G
Never
do
this,
but
like
I,
don't
know
what's
going
on
was
like
all
the
money
and
stuff,
but
a
lot
of
US
residents
are
been
into
this.
Some
of
them
programs
for
years
that
been
too
many
trainings
know
a
lot
about
certain
stuff,
but
within
these
organizations
they
come
in
and
I,
don't
think
they
really
look
at
us
or
value
us
as
a
resident
or
I
mean
they're
like
well.
G
But
the
garden
impact
I
think
us
being
Native.
American
needs
to
be
addressed
bigger
than
what
is
now
losing
our
kids.
Our
youth
program
is
a
big
part
of
program.
I
don't
want
to
step
on
no
toes,
but
also
I
mean
a
lot
of
stuff
that
not
being
addressed
over
there.
That
should
be
that
maybe
could
be
and
I'm
not
sure.
G
Why
I'm
up
here
like
this,
because
a
lot
of
people
I
work
with
I'm,
not
understanding
again
so
I
didn't
I,
don't
know
what
they're
trying
to
do,
but
I
know
I
need
some
help
in
the
back,
so
that
that
farm
holds
all
of
us
together,
we
put
all
our
kids
in
it
our
elders,
but
as
elders
know
that
I
quit
a
lot.
I
have
a
lot
of
the
youth
I
mean
not
you
know,
majority
the
older
ones,
I
can't
pay
a
lot
of
babies.
G
I
have
a
lot
of
babies
back
there
all
day
on
right
when
I
did
through
the
program
s'mores
out
of
my
own
pocket,
popcorn
sauce
today's
men,
we
have
a
blast
and
when
you
get
them,
call
them
in
when
they're
little
like
that,
we
shouldn't
have
a
problem
talking
to
them
when
they're,
older
and
doing
major
programs
when
they're
older,
they
should
already
you
know,
have
that
intuition
in
them
and
I.
Don't
know
I've
been
doing
it
for
about
six
years
now,
I
love
what
I'm
doing
I
love
the
babies.
G
H
Name
is
James
cross,
it
is
getting
Sara
I.
Think
the
grantee
is,
you
know,
yeah,
it's
all
good,
but
you
know
we're
missing
a
part
of
gang
gang
shootings,
violence,
drugs
and
yet
the
ones
that
are
doing
the
work
out.
Here
we
ain't
in
no
help.
We
can
go
places
where
no
one
else
can
go.
We
got
to
respect
out
here.
I
got
the
resources,
but
yet
I've
been
doing
this
for
three
years
now
and
we
don't
get
no
money.
H
H
We're
fighting
that
drug
epidemic
in
our
County
I
mean
community.
You
know
it's
like
he's
kind
of
saying,
they're
watching
their
hands
in
the
same
pot.
Getting
that
money
with
when
somebody
is
do
really
doing
them.
Work
I,
know
money
out
here
to
help
conquer
this,
and
our
numbers
are
the
highest
anywhere
25th
and
1/2
Street
Obama,
so
higher
shooting
through
Minneapolis,
but
yeah.
We
can't
get
no
help.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
J
Day
Aspinwall,
I
service
our
community
special
projects
consultant
doing
some
work
currently
with
little
earth
on
this
collaborative,
as
well
as
a
couple
of
other
initiatives
through
the
city.
I
just
wanted
to
really
mirror
and
support
the
three
previous
folks
that
came
forward.
A
little
earth
has
lots
of
needs.
This
is
a
new
and
innovative
processes.
You
all
have
acknowledged.
J
Typically,
residents
and
stakeholders
aren't
engaged
to
this
depth.
Do
they
have
the
capacity
to
understand
what
these
processes
are,
what
they
mean,
how
they're
ranked
how
they're
scored
how
the
decisions
are
made
when
you
place
this
much
money
into
the
hands
of
the
community
that
doesn't
have
that
type
of
capacity
they're
going
to
say
why
not
me
this
is
where
I
live.
Why
not
me
James
eloquently
pointed
out
the
east
side
of
little
earth.
Campus
has
Elaine
stately
drive.
J
We
have
got
the
second
highest
crime
rate
in
the
precinct
out
of
the
third
Precinct
that
runs
along
that
very
drive
and
the
highest
crime
rate
across
the
city
in
in
our
little
community.
All
on
that
East
Side,
the
Memorial
Park,
has
been
the
site
of
many
many
shootings
because
of
the
dilapidated
condition
of
the
park.
It
used
to
be
a
pool.
J
That's
there,
they
can
still
get
clear
shots
still
chase,
their
friends
still
buy
their
drugs
on
all
with
Daddy
Lane
stately
drive
as
the
in
and
out
thoroughfare
I
spoke
with
our
off-duty
police
officers,
our
hires
off-duty
police
officers
through
little
earth
and
their
regular
PD
officers
are
native
officers
that
we
have
out
there
all
of
these
projects.
All
of
the
ideas
that
came
forward
are
significant
to
each
one
that
presented
those
ideas
and
lifted
them
up
and
took
that
chance
to
put
it
forward.
I
think
this
is
a
start.
J
I
think
that
the
projects
that
have
been
funded
are
worthy
of
that
funding.
It's
a
short
period.
I
said
it
publicly
and
I'll
say
it
again:
this
is
the
shortest
quickest.
The
most
challenging
process
that
I've
been
through
I'm,
not
a
grant
writer
by
trade
I
mean
that
isn't
my
main
gig.
What
I
can
tell
you,
as
somebody
who
knows
our
city
process,
this
was
challenging
and
to
try
and
bring
our
people
up
to
bring
them
to
capacity.
J
J
But
just
through
that
process,
we've
learned
how
to
be
very
strategic
with
our
community
engagement,
and
we
hope
that
this
type
of
resident
action
continues.
This
money
is
just
to
start
I
hope
you
continue
to
think
about
us
when,
when
there
are
funds
available
and
that
we
reach
out,
because
we
have
a
community
that
is
now
paying
attention
and
can
respond.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
Thank
you.
A
All
right
so
at
this
point
you
know
this
fits
Archibald.
You
know
we've
asked
questions
if
any
council
member
has
questions
we'll
pull
you
up,
but
I'm
just
going
to
open
it
up
to
the
council.
Members
here
for
questions
comments,
anything
like
that
council
member
Cano.
Thank
you
for
being
here
and
I
know
you
don't
have
part
of
this
committee,
but
thank
you
for
being
here
addressing
this
specific
issue
and
let
me
just
put
a
disclaimer
first,
not
for
you,
but
for
myself.
A
Typically,
when
we
have
these
meetings,
I
mean
they're,
not
public
hearings
necessarily
but
jurors,
have
the
discretion
to
allow
for
public
comments
on
specific
issues
of
interest
to
the
community,
and
so
in
this
situation
you
know
we
were
where
I
was
asked
beforehand
for
that
courtesy,
and
so
that's
what
we
provided,
and
so
that's
why
you
know
we
had
community
members
who
came
up
and
spoke,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
let
that
general
public
know
that
that
was
the
case.
Councilmember
Cano.
Thank
you.
Thank.
I
You
mr.
chair
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
address
you
all
as
colleagues
on
this
issue
and
as
well
as
the
audience
members
here
today.
I
don't
fit
on
this
committee,
but
I
wanted
to
be
a
part
of
this
conversation,
because
our
office
spends
a
significant
amount
of
time
and
resources
addressing
the
crime
and
safety
issues
in
the
Ninth
Ward
butin.
So
I
want
to
kind
of
take
a
step
back
in
terms
of
the
the
genesis
of
this
particular
effort,
and
you
know
I
want
to
thank
the
mayor's
office
and
Nicole
for
of
assuring
this.
I
And
so,
while
these
groups
and
organizations
and
ideas
are
very
worthwhile
of
funding
and
they
should
get
more
funding
and
I
think
that
there's
been
a
significant
philanthropic
investment
in
some
of
these
efforts,
you
know
such
as
mural
projects
that
have
already
happened
at
little
Earth.
You
know
women's
groups
that
have
already
been
getting
together
at
the
Minnesota
Indian
Women's
Resource
Center
and
at
the
Minneapolis
American
Indian
Center.
I
In
that
you
know
it
I
think
there
was
a
window
of
maybe
a
week
or
a
week
and
a
half
where
people
could
submit
their
ideas
to
be
considered
as
part
of
the
selection.
How
the
selection
committee
came
together
was
also
a
bit
of
a
challenge
and
I
just
wish.
We
would
have
had
more
time
to
to
be
able
to
do
this
together,
because
at
some
point
you
know
I
felt
like
it
was.
I
I
You
know
this.
This
notion
of
an
innovative
ideas
is
really
important
and
I
would
like
to
I.
Guess
say
that
my
comments
are
more
targeted
to
the
the
South
Minneapolis
efforts.
I,
don't
know
much
about
the
North
Minneapolis
efforts
and
I.
Look
to
my
colleagues
who
are
who
live
and
work
in
that
area
to
really
lead
that
commerce
station,
but
in
terms
of
the
work
that
needs
to
happen
in
our
Philips
neighborhood
and
in
the
little
earth
area.
I
And
the
question
really
was
you
know:
where
are
the
young
men
that
are
impacted
by
the
violence
and
where
are
the
young
men
who
are?
You
know
perhaps
intertwined
in
this
in
this
web
of
violence?
And
so
the
question
really
was
you
know?
How
can
we
align
resources
to
empower
and
engage
the
young
men
in
our
communities
who
need
to
be
supported
to
leave
the
drug
economy,
to
leave
the
gun,
violence,
economy
and
transition
into
an
economy
that
is
sustainable
for
them
and
their
families?
I
So
they
don't
have
to
resort
to
these
alternative
methods
of
providing
a
living
for
themselves,
their
families
and
and
for
proving
their
manhood,
and
so
so
I
feel
like
we're,
not
really
digging
where
we
need
to
be
digging
with
these
dollars.
You
know:
we've
we've
seen
a
lot
of
murals
happen
in
this
community
we've
seen
a
lot
of
women's
groups
have
happen
here
and
that
are
well
supported
by
other
nonprofits
and
I'm
left
with
you
know
this.
I
A
You
any
other
comments
right,
well,
I'm,
going
to
put
some
comments
out
there
as
well
and
I'm,
going
to
basically
piggyback
on
council
member
Kondos
comments.
You
know
with
regards
to
just
this
process
in
itself.
I,
you
know,
I
think
it
was
such
a
rush
process
that
you
know
it
really
incentivized
or
rewarded
professional
grant,
writers
versus
you
know,
community
members,
and
we
keep
on
talking
about
this
whole
collaborative
being
very
community
driven
and
I.
Think
we
missed
the
mark
on
that
quite
a
bit.
A
A
The
council
approval
process
I
mean
we
kind
of
just
were
all
over
the
place
about
that
and
no
I
think
that
you
know
I
mean
I,
wanted
to
say
versus
for
most
that
this
is
the
first
time
that
we're
doing
it,
and
you
know
we
are
going
to
have
some
bumps
along
the
road
and
hopefully
will
improve
for
next
year
if
this
comes
up
again
next
year,
but
you
know
again,
I
mean
this
whole
thing
about
making
it
a
community
driven
process.
You
know
for
community
I
mean
I
feel
like
we
missed
that
and
I.
A
Don't
know
how
we
missed
that,
but
that
was
kind
of
just
the
part
that
just
was
you
know
disappointing
for
me.
You
know
when
we
talk
about
you
know.
Just
all
these
proposals,
I
mean
councilman
Buchanan's
points,
you
know
they're
very
worthwhile,
but
I
would
say,
I
mean
just
on
the
whole
I
mean
for
myself
mean
a
little
bit.
A
Underwhelming
and
I
would
just
say
that
within
the
context
of
you
know,
we
look
at
this
and
you
know
the
two
things
that
the
two
key
words
that
really
play
out
for
me
are
one
community,
but
two
is
public
safety
and
when
I
look
at
these
proposals,
I
mean
I
kind
of
missing
the
public
safety
part,
and
you
know
mr.
Ross,
who
showed
up
a
little
bit
earlier,
talked
about
you
know,
issues
that
you
know
are
related
to
public
safety.
A
A
Maybe
to
use
you
know
a
different
word,
but
you
know
I'm,
maybe
a
little
bit
indifferent
to
it.
But
you
know:
I
I
have
a
lot
of
hope.
I
have
a
lot
of
hope
that
you
know
in
this
first
year
we
will
learn
and
we
will
be
better
for
following
years.
If
you
know
this
does
come
up
and
so
I
will
throw
it
up
there
like
that,
and
you
know
we'll
just
see
how
it
goes,
but
you
know
I
mean
I.
A
Think
for
me
at
least
on
the
West
Broadway
proposals
me
and
my
thing
is,
you
know
I,
you
know
we
put
$250,000
out
there.
I
mean
to
me
measureable
outcomes.
Are
that
the
number
of
shootings
that
happen
up
there
go
down
the
number
of
drug
deals
that
happen
up
there
and
go
down
or
a
number
of
drug
dealing
period
up
on
the
West
Broadway
corridor
goes
down,
I
mean
any
number
of
those,
the
things
that
are
good
indications
that
you
know
we
are
improving
public
safety.
A
I
mean
that's
the
important
part
about
this,
and
you
know
to
be
honest
with
you
mean
$250,000
is
not
a
lot
of
money
to.
You
know
make
a
big
dent,
but
you
know
to
see
at
least
a
dent
and
to
see
that
dent,
be
measurable,
I
mean
that's
the
important
part
you
know
I.
Imagine
maybe
the
same
for
the
little
earth
area
as
well
is
that
we
want
to
see
those
ends
that
really
make
a
difference
in
public
safety,
because
you
know
people
deserve
it.
A
People
want
to
live
in
places
that
are
safe,
and
so
that's
the
part
that
is
important
for
me,
and
you
know
I'd
like
to
see
that
in
the
future,
in
terms
of
how
we
do
things
really
just
the
goal
is
not
to
fund
projects
that
are
really
worthwhile
projects.
I
mean
every
single
one
of
these
projects
is
worthwhile.
These
reserve
funding,
but
within
the
context
of
what
we're
doing
here,
which
is
public
safety
related
and
community
related
I
mean
do
they
really
fit
that
tonight?
A
D
Mr.
chair
I
am
really
glad
we're
having
this
discussion
and
I
look
forward
to
working
with
councilmember
Connell
and
trying
to
you
know
further
defer.
This
discussion
I
have
actually
a
little
bit
of
a
different
take
than
my
colleague,
my
North
Minneapolis
colleague,
because
I
do
think
some
of
the
projects
that
we
are
being
recommended
for
funding
hit
on
what
is
I
think
a
real
challenge
for
West
Broadway,
which
I
actually
just
today
for
described
as
a
battleground
for
gangs
and
guns,
a
drug
market
for
the
suburbs
and
not
Powder
Keg.
D
When
I
heard
Kerry
dais
and
while
talking
about
little
earth-
and
you
know
the
rate
of
criminal
activity
there,
we
have
a
parallel
in
North
Minneapolis
on
West
Broadway,
our
largest
commercial
quarter
and
I.
Think
some
of
these
activities
really
do
reflect
what
needs
to
happen,
which
is
that
good
people
are
on
West,
Broadway
and
and
young
people
are
involved
in
doing
some
of
the
things
that
make
our
commercial
corridor
look
attractive.
D
D
The
other
thing
that
I
think
is
important,
you
know,
is
what
does
our
Avenue
look
like
and
so
beautification
and
paying
attention
to
what
the
Avenue
looks
like
is
really
important
to
give
people
a
positive
view
of
the
community
and
then
that
positive
view
gives
them
the
confidence
to
again
be
the
good
people
on
West
Broadway,
because
it's
a
challenge
for
people.
You
know
if
you
were
to
ask
the
parent.
You
want
your
kids
to
go
to
the
to
the.
D
Let
me
see
what
I
can
see
here.
The
music
festival
that's
going
to
be
at
Hawthorne
crossings,
which
is
like
the
biggest
kind
of
space
that
we're
in
the
area.
We're
talking
about
parents
would
be
challenged
to
say:
oh
yeah
go
ahead,
you
know
because
it
isn't
safe,
it
isn't
safe
and
so
I
I
think
we
need
to
look
at
at
what's
recommended
here
and
then
also
see
you
know.
A
A
So
you
know
I
I,
guess
for
myself.
You
know
with
both
of
these
will
dress
each
of
them
individually,
but
you
know
I
believe
they're.
Both
gonna
be
referred,
that
ways
and
means-
and
you
know
I'm
gonna-
make
a
motion
for
item
number
five,
which
is
the
contracts
with
pills.
Bearings
fill
it's
very
United
communities
and
area
partners,
West
Broadway
collaborative
safety
strategies
for
just
no
recommendation,
moving
forward
ways
and
means
any
discussion.
A
I've
seen
that
in
others
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
aye
any
of
those
okay
motion
carries
and
I
will
do
the
same
thing
with
a
number
six,
which
is
a
contract
for
Native
American,
convenient
Institute,
a
little
earth
and
surrounding
area
partners
for
collaborative
public
safety
strategies
and
I
will
move
for
a
no
recommendation
to
be
referred
to
ways
and
means
any
discussion,
all
those
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
aye,
any
opposed
all
right.
The
motion
carries
and
with
that
I
believe
we
are
done
with
our
business,
and
so
we
will
adjourn
this
meeting.
