A
B
A
B
You
mr.
chair
I
just
wanted
the
council
members
to
know
that
you
have
in
front
of
you
a
very
skeleton
version
of
a
2018
yearly
calendar.
It
highlights
the
award
work
weeks
as
well
as
the
City
Council
and
committee
of
the
whole
meetings,
so
that
you'll
have
a
chance
to
review
that
during
the
public
hearing
item
before
it's
on
the
discussion.
B
A
You
councilmember
bender,
so
we
will
add
that,
as
our
forth
discussion
item
behinds
the
minimum
wage
ordinance
study,
the
youth
compact
commitments
and
the
Superbowl
update
with
that
we're
going
to
go
ahead
and
start
our
public
hearing
on
the
u-visa
ordinance.
Do
we
have
a
presentation
from
staff
on
this.
C
C
U
and
T
visas
apply
were
created
in
the
year
2000
as
part
of
the
victims
of
trafficking
and
violence
prevention
act.
The
goal
is
to
assist
law
enforcement
in
the
investigation
and
prosecution
of
crimes
and
human
trafficking,
and
we
all
know
that
immigrants,
particularly
women
and
children,
can
be
especially
vulnerable
to
crimes
of
human
trafficking,
domestic
violence
and
sexual
assault
and
related
crimes
and
has
set
out
in
the
Department
of
Homeland
Security
guidance.
C
Congress
sought
with
this
act
not
only
to
prosecute
perpetrators
of
crimes
committed
against
immigrants,
but
to
strengthen
relations
between
law
enforcement
and
immigrant
communities,
and
so
this
provision
of
federal
law
is
very
much
consistent
with
the
city's
own
separation
ordinance
and
the
goals
of
that
ordinance.
Both
for
you,
visa
eligibility
there's
a
list
of
qualifying
crimes.
C
The
certifying
eligible
agencies
within
the
city
of
Minneapolis
are
primarily
the
Minneapolis
Police
Department.
They
get
the
bulk
of
the
requests
for
these
certifications,
our
office
in
connection
with
the
most
domestic
violence,
prosecution
work
and
occasionally
the
Civil
Rights
Department,
if
some
of
their
discrimination
investigations
touch
on
some
of
the
eligible
crimes.
C
So
what's
the
impact
of
certification
under
these
forms
by
one
of
the
the
certifying
city
agencies?
It's
just
one
piece
of
the
required
paperwork
to
be
eligible
to
apply
for
this
kind
of
visa.
The
application
is
still
subject
to
review
an
investigation
by
the
immigration
authorities,
and
then
you
get
the
right.
If
you
pass
all
those
hurdles,
you
get
the
right
to
apply
for
an
annual
lottery.
There
are
10,000
slats
nationwide
for
UV
Sun,
only
5040
visas.
What
does
this
allow
you
to
do?
C
It
allows
you
to
remain
in
the
United
States
for
up
to
four
years
in
the
opportunity,
under
certain
certain
circumstances,
to
apply
for
permanent
residency
so
real
quickly?
What
do
these
ordinary
ordinance
provisions
do?
It
provides
for
two
tracts
of
processing
a
standard
tract,
and
the
city
has
committed
to
process
those
within
30
days
whenever
possible.
There
could
be
occasions
where
we
have
to
obtain
an
off-site
paper
file
for
older
cases
where
we
may
need
longer,
but
but
the
city
has
been
doing
that
and
actually
shorter
than
that.
C
The
ordinance
contains
in
deciding
whether
a
victim
has
been
hopeful
or
not
a
provision
with
a
rebuttable
presumption
of
helpfulness,
as
long
as
the
victim
has
not
unreasonably
refused
to
cooperate
or
unreasonably
fail
to
provide
information-
and
this
is
language
straight
out
of
the
federal
regulations,
but
not
the
rebuttable
presumption,
but-but-but
those
characteristics
again.
It
would
subject
to
the
discretion
of
the
certifying
official.
C
The
final
provision
deals
with
data
privacy
and
provides
that
city
employee
shall
not
disclose
personal
information
of
victims
obtained
through
the
UN
t
visa
certification
process,
except
as
required,
obviously
by
the
state
data,
Practices,
Act,
other
laws
or
court
order.
That's
just
a
short
summary.
Unless
anyone
has
any
questions
that
that's
a
good
summary
great.
D
Thank
You
mr.
chair
and
thank
you,
Miss
Siegel
I'm,
very
supportive
of
this
change,
I
just
I'm.
Looking
for
a
little
bit
more
clarity
on
what
the
change
entails.
You
know
you.
Visas
already
exist,
there's
kind
of
a
certain
number
of
them.
There
are
any
existence.
It's
not!
It's
not
increasing
the
number
of
you
visas
available.
This
is
just
easing
the
process
in
which
they're
provided
or.
C
Mr.
chair
and
councilmember
fry
that
that's
exactly
right.
This
is
to
memorialize
in
ordinance
the
the
process
and
procedures
and
to
make
we
have
not
had
a
link
on
our
website.
So
far
we
are
creating
one.
We
are
creating
a
protocol,
so
it's
really
to
formalize
and
set
out
clearly
in
ordinance
what
the
expectations
are
of
the
city
in
this
area
and
you
up
for
the
questions
were
yeah.
D
C
E
F
D
C
Mr.
chair
and
councilmember
fry
I
believe
now
I
know
the
police
department
places
a
priority
on
these
I
know
our
office
I.
Think
we
pretty
much
do
things
within
14
days
now,
but
it's
nice
setting
out
for
the
public
understood
what
the
expectations
are
in
communicating
that
and
and
just
making
clear
who
to
go
to
how
to
most
quickly
access
this
service
from
the
city.
Okay,.
C
G
Yes,
please,
chair
and
committee
members
and
I
think
this
customer
FRA
might
speak
to
your
point
from
an
organizational
standpoint.
We
had
this
process.
Primarily,
it
was
sitting
in
our
special
Crimes
Division
that,
along
with
all
the
other
investigative
casework,
they
had
to
do
so.
I
have
officially
removed
that
from
that
division
for
a
couple
of
things,
the
individuals
who
are
impacted
by
this
here,
I,
don't
want
them
to
be
victimized
twice,
and
the
respect
and
dignity
that
they
deserve
needs
to
be
dealt
with
in
a
manner.
G
A

Danielle

H
Good
morning,
members
of
the
council,
my
name
is
danielle
robinson
brianne's,
I'm,
testifying
here
today
as
a
Minneapolis
resident
and
small
business
owner
here.
I
live
in
the
13th
board
near
madama
Casca,
and
my
immigration
law
firm
is
on
Lake
Street.
For
the
past
two
years,
I've
been
a
member
of
the
Minnesota
immigrant
rights,
Action
Committee,
as
well
as
a
member
of
the
Minnesota
Dakotas
chapter
of
the
American
Immigration
Lawyers
Association.
My
law
practice
focuses
predominantly
on
deportation.
Defense
in
that
vein,
I
express
my
full
support
for
the
proposed:
u
NT
visa
certification
ordinance.
H
My
remarks,
though,
are
limited
to
what
I
see
is
the
value
for
potential
beneficiaries
of
the
U
visa
program,
because
that's
where
most
of
my
experience
resides
the
U
visa
is
one
of
the
very
few
humanitarian
immigration
benefits
that
we
have
in
our
otherwise
restrictive
immigration
system.
The
program
was
designed
by
Congressman
mm
to
legalize
the
status
of
undocumented
immigrants,
who
are
disproportionately
impacted
by
violent
crime
in
the
US,
but
who
are
reticent
to
report
those
crimes
or
follow
through
with
the
ensuing
investigations
and
prosecutions.
H
The
overriding
reason
that
undocumented
immigrants
failed
to
report
and
prosecute
crimes
is
their
fear
that
an
encounter
with
law
enforcement
will
lead
to
their
deportation.
It
is
common
in
the
immigrant
community
to
conflate
local
police,
for
example,
with
officers
of
Immigration
and
Customs
Enforcement
or
ice,
or
think
that
they
are
serving
the
same
agenda
to
remove
them
from
our
communities.
H
This
credence
is
not
without
justification,
as
we
are
well
aware
here
in
Hennepin
County
of
the
cozy
relationship
that
can
exist
between
local
law
enforcement
and
I'm
speaking
specifically
about
the
Hennepin
County
Sheriff
and
the
federal
immigration
agents,
to
the
extreme
detriment
of
our
immigration.
Immigrant
community
Congress
designed
the
U
visa
program
with
the
specific
intent
of
correcting
the
social
problem
of
the
underreporting
of
crime
experienced
by
undocumented
immigrants.
H
The
enactment
of
the
U
visa
is
owed
in
significant
part
to
the
advocacy
of
domestic
violence
and
sexual
assault
organizations
who
lobbied
tirelessly
to
create
a
benefit
that
encouraged
Public
Safety
for
immigrants.
I
do
have
a
little
bit
more
and
I
would
ask
for
a
little
bit
more
time
because
I
have,
if.
H
H
The
point
is
that
we
need
to
support
victims
of
crimes
they're
coming
to
the
police
department
to
seek
a
certification
which
is
a
requirement
for
the
u-visa
to
even
be
submitted,
and
there
are
patterns
of
abuse
of
discretion,
and
so
we
encourage
the
adoption
of
this,
because
the
certification
itself
is
a
necessary
component
to
to
this
immigration
benefit,
and
so
that
that's
the
end
of
my
remarks.
Thank
you.
Thank.
I
Jamie
long
deputy
chief
of
staff
for
congressman
keith
Ellison
2100
Plymouth
Avenue
North
Minneapolis.
Thank
you
so
much
for
the
invitation
to
testify
today
the
congressman
wishes
he
could
be
here,
but
he's
fighting
to
keep
the
government
open
right
now.
So
he
sent
me
in
his
place.
Minneapolis
has
always
been
a
real
leader
on
the
U
visas
in
the
state
in
the
region
and
the
congressman
sent
a
letter
in
support
of
the
ordinance
today
that
I'd
like
to
read
dear
Minneapolis,
City
Council
I,
am
writing.
I
Miss
Brett
expressed
my
support
of
the
proposed:
u
visa
ordinance
that
would
ensure
that
certifying
entities
like
the
city
of
Minneapolis
process,
u
visa
documents
in
a
timely
manner
and
consistently
apply
the
intent
of
federal
law.
The
U
V
says
available
for
non
citizens
who
have
suffered
mental
or
physical
abuse
or
otherwise
the
victim
of
a
crime
and
whose
support
can
mean
the
difference
in
law
enforcement
agencies,
ability
to
investigate
and
prosecute
criminal
activity.
I
Our
current
federal
immigration
system
has
also
only
heightened
anxieties
among
members
of
our
community.
Instead
of
pursuing
badly
needed
comprehensive
immigration
reform,
our
federal
government
has
dramatically
expanded
its
enforcement
of
broken
and
unjust
laws
against
the
broader
interests
of
our
nation.
Aggressive
immigration
enforcement
and
rising
rates
of
deportation
actually
undermine
public
safety,
as
undocumented
Americans
feel
even
more
afraid
to
come
forward
when
they
themselves
are
victims
of
crimes.
I
In
this
climate,
initiatives
like
the
U
visa
program
are
even
more
important
to
ensuring
all
our
protected
I
commend
the
hard
work
of
community
members
lawyers
and
advocates
who
continue
to
bring
attention
to
the
issue
of
U
visas
and
non
citizen
crime.
Victims
I
would
like
to
offer
a
special
thank
you
to
council,
Vice,
President
Clinton
Glidden
for
introducing
the
ordinance
and
two
representatives.
Dean,
Hornstein,
Omar
Clarke,
make
late
and
Senator
Pappas
for
also
introducing
au
visa
bill
in
the
2017
legislative
session.
I
Victims
of
violence
should
never
be
in
fear
of
sharing
their
trauma
because
of
their
status.
The
city
in
Minneapolis
has
a
duty
to
protect
all
those
who
live
here
regardless
of
immigration
status,
and
the
proposed
new
visa
ordinance
is
a
crucial
step
to
continuing
that
work.
Thank
you
for
the
ordinance
today
sincerely
congressman
Ellison.
Thank
you
appreciate
the
time
we.
H
J
J
H
H
J
J
K
Una,
yes
good
morning,
actually
Adriana's
Aradia,
my
name
is
adriana
Surrey
yo
in
Minneapolis
resident
and
also
a
member
of
PETA
again
I
just
wanted
it
to
clarify
something:
merica
we're
not
an
organization.
We
are
an
action
committee
group
and
no
one
gets
paid,
we're
all
volunteers,
so
our
passion
for
social
justice,
it's
very
real.
You
know
a
lot
of
us
have
taken
and
I
always
take
time
out
of
our
work
to
be
present
and
to
do
what
is
in
our
heart.
K
I
just
wanted
to
make
that
clarification
and
also
creating
the
sanctuary
platform
was
a
way
to
bring
solutions
to
the
needs
of
our
community.
In
the
item
of
the
u-visa
that
came
out
of
a
very
tragic
situation,
I,
don't
know
how
many
of
you
have
seen
the
video
it
went
viral
about
our
area,
Lopez
business
Lopez.
He
was
questioned
in
the
light
rail.
This
happened
here
in
our
own
back
yard,
whether
he
was
legal
or
not.
He
was
questioned
by
the
major
transit
police.
I.
Don't
know
you
find
your
okay!
Thank
you.
K
K
We
have
an
incredible
member
of
me
doc
that
is
attorney
Daniel
Bryant
and
you
know
she
did
her
work
pro
bono
to
help
him
out
to
get
him
out
and
also
thanks
to
the
leadership
of
at
the
time
deputy
chief
Rhonda,
now
I
current
eve.
He
was
very
instrumental
in
also
commander
force
at
the
time
to
get
the
certification
for
da
Lopez
and
to
get
him
out.
So
thank
you
for
your
leadership
in
doing
what
was
right
and
passing.
K
This
ordinance
is
an
opportunity
for
the
city
to
prove
itself
to
our
community
and
I'm.
Going
back
to
the
question
that
our
councilmember
FRA
hack,
we
went
from
not
having
a
policy
Britain
from
the
Department
of
Police
to
a
city,
ordinance
Britain,
that
is
problem,
incredible,
beautiful,
so
I'm,
urging
all
of
you
to
vote
Yes
to
prove
that
you
care
about
our
community,
because
at
this
time
we
don't
want
any
more
resolutions.
We
want
action,
and
this
is
an
incredible
opportunity
for
those
of
you
to
prove
yourselves
that
you
do
care.
So
thank
you.
Thank.

A
N
Mirek
and
its
allies
have
personally
witnessed
the
hardship
the
crime
victims
face
when
they
are
caught
up
in
the
U
visa
certification
process.
If
you
visa
certifications,
don't
happen
or
if
they
don't
happen
fast
enough,
minneapolis
residents
who
otherwise
qualify
for?
U
theses
are
deported
in
september
this
year,
murat
introduced
a
sanctuary
now
platform
for
the
city
of
minneapolis,
that
included
guaranteed
certification
by
the
Minneapolis
Police
Department
of
all,
qualifying
U
visa
applicants,
applications
and
their
adoption,
and
the
adoption
of
an
expedite
process
for
people
in
deportation
proceedings.
N
N
A
M
M
I'm
here
in
support
of
the
ordinance
that
you
have
in
front
of
you,
what
I
wanted
to
mention
to
you
is
that
when
an
immigrant
and
a
newly
minted
immigrant
is
victim
of
a
crime
most
of
the
times,
they
don't
report
him
because
they're
afraid
that
they
are
going
to
be
prosecuted.
Also
in
this.
At
the
same
time,
my
my
brother-in-law
was
pulled
over
almost
a
year
ago
for
a
traffic
violation.
He
was
taken
into
custody
and
then
he
was
he
was
taken
by
immigration
immediately
after
he
was
detained.
M
We
found
out
in
the
process
that
he
did
qualified
for
Au
visa,
but
because
he
was
already
in
immigration,
and
he
was.
He
had
a
case
that
he
had
to
fight
with
the
city
of
st.
Paul
and
the
federal
government
had
taken
him
because
immigration
said
oh
and
then
we
had
a
case
with
the
state
he
was
lost
in
those
two
systems.
We
couldn't
get
a
you
visa
approved
and
he
was
in
detention
with
immigration.
At
the
same
time,
he
had
a
case
with
the
city
of
Minneapolis
and
we
couldn't
find
him
the
right
representation.
M
We
had
a
hard
time
dealing
with
attorneys.
We
had
a
hard
time
getting
access
through
him
with
his
attorneys.
So
you
end
up
making
deals
that
don't
necessarily
work
for
us
and
then
are
not
right
and
what
we
find
that
has
been
happening
is
that
before
we
are
prosecuted,
we're
already
being
condemned,
because
you
are
not
given
the
chance
of
going
through
the
due
process.
So
what
this
would
do
for
us
is
that
it
would
expedite
what
the
system
that
is
already
in
place.
M
I
hope
that
you
understand
everything
that
I
said,
but
we
are
not
giving
the
opportunity
to
go
through
the
process
which
is
detained
and
we're
deported
immediately
and
a
lot
of
people
being
deported
when
they
would
have
the
opportunity
to
stay,
and
these
are
good
citizens
that
would
have
to
go
through
the
process
and
we
would
have
to
prove
that
are
that
they
are
eligible
and
they
are
not
criminals.
That
would
be
staying
in
the
country.
A
You
do
we
have
any
additional
speakers
additional
speakers,
any
additional
speakers
seeing
none
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
close
the
public
hearing,
and
do
you
have
a
note
of
clarification
that
in
our
presentation
it
mentioned
that
this
was
a
for
the
expedited
a
process
within
14
days?
It's
actually
seven
days,
and
so
that
is
what
will
be
reflected
in
the
ordinance
and
the
posted
presentation
on
the
city
website
reflects
that
as
well
and
I
appreciate
the
clarification
from
Susan
Siegel
with
that
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
move
passage
of
this
ordinance
and
see.
E
A
You
any
additional
discussion
will
dis
mention
that,
even
though
council
Vice
President
Clinton
is
not
here
today,
she's
extremely
supportive
of
this
obviously
has
brought
this
forward
and
I
want
to
thank
her
and
her
staff
and
all
the
partners
throughout
the
community
and
within
our
own
CI
Enterprise,
including
the
police
department,
for
their
work
on
this.
Seeing
no
further
discussion,
all
those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
hi,
all
those
opposed
the
motion
carries
in
that
ordinance
is
passed.
A
A
O
Good
morning,
mr.
chair
and
committee
members,
my
name
is
Jeff
Snyder
and
with
the
city
coordinators,
office
and
I
have
been
assisting
with
the
RFP
process
for
this
economic
impact
study.
As
you
recall,
last
June,
the
ordinance
you
passed,
directed
the
city
coordinator
to
report
back
annually
on
the
impact
of
the
minimum
wage
ordinance
beginning
in
2019
the
year
after
enactment
working
with
a
staff
team
from
cpad
finance,
civil
rights,
along
with
research
staff
from
deed
and
the
Department
of
Revenue.
O
We
issued
an
RFP
for
this
work
in
early
October
and
received
four
proposals
on
behalf
of
the
proposal.
Review
team
I
am
very
pleased
to
recommend
that
the
city
engaged
the
Federal
Reserve
Bank
of
Minneapolis.
To
do
this
work,
we
are
recommending
the
Fed
team
for
several
reasons.
The
Minneapolis
Fed
has
a
decade's
long
reputation
for
first-rate
Economic
Research.
There
project
team
includes
three
highly
qualified
economists
who
will
be
principal
investigators.
O
O
The
prophets
proposal
was
judged
to
be
rigorous
and
responsive
to
the
city's
RFP,
both
by
city
staff
and
by
the
to
state
agency
representative,
who
assisted
us
in
this
determination.
In
some
cases,
it
goes
beyond
the
city's
RFP,
for
example,
by
offering
to
host
two
national
conferences
on
the
subject
of
minimum
wages
in
the
next
four
years.
Hold.
O
Please
continue
the
Federal
Reserve
Bank
was
the
only
proposal
by
a
local
entity.
This
will
facilitate
communications
with
the
city,
this
three
state
agency
partners
and
with
local
stakeholders.
The
Federal
Reserve
Bank
is
perceived
to
be
a
credible
research
entity
by
both
the
business
and
labor
representatives
we
consulted
with.
It
is
also
experienced
highly
experienced
in
dealing
with
sensitive
private
data,
which
is
highly
important
to
the
three
state
agencies
who
will
be
assisting
us.
Finally,
unlike
the
three
other
proposals,
the
Bank
is
offering
to
underwrite
their
entire
cost.
O
For
this
four-year
study
estimated
to
be
seven
hundred
and
seventy
thousand
dollars
with
its
own
resources,
there
will
be
some
ancillary
costs
for
state
agency.
Technical
assistance
and
custom
survey
work
to
be
supported
by
the
city
Maria,
who
is
not
here
because
she's
ill
today,
by
the
way,
Neri
and
I,
would
like
to
thank
our
RFP
and
review
team
members
from
CPD
mark
Brenda
and
Andrew
Dahl
from
finance,
Micah
intramural
from
Civil
Rights,
Vilma
kohrville,
and
an
additional
member
from
the
city
coordinators
office.
O
Peter
Abnett
I
would
also
like
to
publicly
thank
the
research
staff
from
and
the
Department
of
Revenue
who
assisted
us
in
developing
the
RFP
and
who
will
be
providing
technical
assistance
throughout
the
project.
Also,
the
Department
of
Human
Services
has
offered
to
assist
us
in
tracking
the
potential
impact
of
minimum
wage
increases
on
the
usage
rates
of
various
public
benefit
programs.
I'll
just
divert
from
my
written
remarks
to
say
there
has
been
no
other
study
that
has
the
participation
of
three
state
agencies
nationally.
O
P
You
mr.
chair
I
just
want
to
lift
some
of
this
work
up.
You
know
it's
to
share
some
of
the
conversation
that
Jeff,
Snyder
and
I
had
yesterday.
It's
it's
all
too
rare
that
policymakers
actually
type
take
the
time
to
look
at
and
also
provide
the
resources
for
the
long
term
economic
impact
of
the
laws
that
we
pass.
P
So
I'm
really
proud
that
colleagues
agreed
when
I
work
to
add
this
to
our
minimum
wage
ordinance,
conversation
and
I
want
to
thank
councilmember
Quincey
because
he
helped
us
to
find
funding
for
it
as
we
move
this
ordinance
forward
earlier
this
year
with
overwhelming
support.
So
thank
you,
like
many
policies
at
all
levels
of
government,
there's
a
redistribution
effect
of
the
minimum
wage
ordinance,
the
money
for
a
minimum
wage
increase
comes
from
other
people,
sometimes
customers,
sometimes
business
owners,
sometimes
through
reduced
hours
or
potentially
reduced
workers.
P
So
it's
going
to
take
a
sophisticated
analysis
of
the
local
and
regional
economy
to
figure
out
how
the
relative
impacts
of
this
balance
out
over
time.
As
mr.
Snyder
had
mentioned
to
me
yesterday,
most
of
the
minimum
wage
studies
across
our
country
focus
on
state
level
policies
instead
of
cities.
Only
two
cities
that
we
know
of
have
initiated
their
own
post-adoption
impact
studies
that
Seattle
in
Los
Angeles
and
only
Seattle
study
which,
as
you
know,
there's
two
competing
reports
have
been
completed
thus
far.
P
There
are
a
lot
of
studies
on
projected
impact,
but
this
is
actually
to
track
our
impact
as
we
move
forward.
So
you
know,
there's
the
interest
here
is
that
we
have
our
cities
active
support,
as
demonstrated
by
this
staff
direction
and
this
funding
and
by
the
participation
of
the
state
and
agencies
that
mr.
Schneider
mentions.
It's
really
going
to
bring
access
to
key
data,
and
this
level
of
data
is
going
to
be
incredibly
important
for
a
meaningful
look,
for
example,
micro,
employment
information
and
there's
still
some
barriers.
P
We're
gonna
need
to
work
to
overcome
here,
and
thankfully,
we've
had
Jeff
Schneider
in
charge
of
this,
and
I
am
confident
he's
going
to
find
a
way.
So
we
just
we
have
a
really
first-rate
research
facility
here,
entity,
the
Federal
Reserve
working
with
this
and
there's
a
lot
of
people
that
think
this
is
going
to
be
not
just
credible
to
all
stakeholders,
but
also
have
national
and
local
importance
so
shared
with
me.
The
other
day
where
comments
from
Michele
Welch
from
the
Arnold,
Foundation
and
I
just
wanted
to
share
a
couple
of
those.
P
She
was
super
excited
saying
this
is
important
not
just
for
our
city,
but
for
these
kinds
of
efforts
across
the
country
and
specifically,
she
says
I
hope
you
take
a
bit
of
time
to
celebrate
this
really
exciting
outcome
and
also
that
this
result
is
going
to
be
the
path-breaking,
rigorous
and
highly
policy
relevant
study.
So
thank
you.
Thank.
Q
Thank
You
mr.
chair
I,
just
I,
really
want
to
say
this
is
obviously
one
of
the
benefits
we
have
of
having
a
federal
reserve
location
in
our
in
our
city
and
to
have
that
the
gravitas
that
they
have
I
think
is
really
really
important
and
I
will
just
say
they
did
some
fantastic
work
on
foreclosures
and
just
really
in
depth.
Research,
and
then
also
you
know,
held
numerous
conferences
here
about
the
foreclosure
issue
and
and
also
housing
market
studies.
Q
B
O
Mr.
chair
and
councilmember
bender
I,
the
FET
being
local,
is
very
aware
of
what's
going
on
regionally
and
it
will
be
up
to
them,
of
course,
to
decide
if
they
want
to
how
they
want
to
incorporate
the
st.
Paul
or
any
other
locality
that
changes
their
local
minimum
wage
ordinance.
But
one
of
the
advantages
of
them
being
here
is
they
understand.
What's
going
on
locally
and
regionally
and
I'm
sure
we'll
be
paying
close
attention
to
whatever
happens.
In
the
same
time,.
B
O
A
Additional
discussion,
additional
discussion
well
I,
do
want
to
echo
the
sentiment
of
my
colleagues
and
say
thank
you
to
staff
and
thank
you
to
the
Federal
Reserve
for
stepping
up
on
this
I
think
we
couldn't
have
asked
for
a
better
partner
with
this
study,
so
seeing
no
further
discussion,
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
move
authorizing
a
contract
with
the
Federal
Reserve
Bank
of
Minneapolis
in
the
amount
of
$50,000
or
an
economic
impact
study
of
the
minimum
wage
ordinance
from
January
1st
2018
through
December
31st
2021.
Any
discussion
on
that
motion.
A
F
You
mr.
chair
members
of
the
committee
I'm
Britton
musekamp,
commissioner
of
health,
the
city
I'm,
also
co-chair,
along
with
the
city
attorney
Siegel
of
the
youth
cabinet
and
I,
would
like
to
begin
my
remarks
also
by
thanking
Nigel
thrall
who's
on
staff.
The
health
department,
as
our
youth
development
coordinator,
who
provides
staff
support
for
the
cabinet
and
continuing
the
thanks.
I,
want
to
thank
both
councilmember
Gordon
and
especially
councilmember
Quincy
for
leadership
on
the
cabinet
and
participating
in
our
work
overtime.
F
So
the
youth
cabinet
is
an
internal
group
of
staff
and
elected
leaders
that
was
created
by
a
council
resolution
to
catalyze
and
coordinate
city
enterprise
efforts
to
promote
the
well-being
of
children
and
youth.
One
of
several
goals
of
the
health
of
the
youth
cabinet
is
to
coordinate
the
city's
role
in
the
multi-jurisdictional
youth
Coordinating
boards
called
action
and
Youth
Compact,
and
so
there
will
be
a
resolution
before
you
as
soon
as
I
finish.
F
My
brief
remarks
that
lays
out
the
city's
commitment
for
that
compact
and
I
want
to
point
out
that
the
items
they're
aligned
very
closely
with
priorities
within
our
Minneapolis
plan
that
is
now
being
finalized.
So
there's
a
lot
of
confluence
in
a
positive
way
and
we
expect
that
we
will
come
back
in
the
first
quarter
of
2018
to
give
a
more
complete
report
of
the
youth
cabinets
action.
So
I
want
to
stop
there
and
I
believe
that
council,
member
Quincey,
we'll
all.
R
Thank
You
council
member
Johnson
I
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you.
First
of
all
for
being
a
co-chair
of
this.
This
is
something
that
was
started
back
in
2011
when
council,
member,
Gordon
and
I
recognized
the
importance
of
elevating
and
putting
a
youth
lens
on
the
work
that
the
city
does
within
the
city.
So
that's
where
we
created
the
youth
cabinet
and
one
of
the
things
we
did
in
the
youth
cabinet
was
made
sure
where
this
wasn't
in
conflict
or
in
duplication
of
what
the
youth
Coordinating
Board
does.
But
we
wanted
to
make
sure
internally.
R
The
city
was
focused
on
what
we
were
doing
within
our
departments
and
we
created
this
youth
cabinet
that
has
met
regularly
and
we
also
had
to
bring
in
youth
Coordinating
Board
as
a
contributing
member
of
that.
So
I
wanted
to
thank
and
acknowledge,
missed
and
a
group
for
being
a
part
of
the
the
work
that
we've
been
doing
for
these
past
seven
years
or
so
six
years.
So
it
seems
like
a
long
time
coming,
but
this
is
a
continued
support
of
the
youth,
Coordinating,
Board
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
read
the
resolution
briefly.
R
Whereas,
as
part
of
the
Minneapolis
youth
Coordinating
boards
call
to
action
each
of
the
partner
jurisdictions
sign
on
to
a
compact
for
Minneapolis
children
and
young
people,
whereas
this
compact
outlines
specific
commitments
made
by
each
jurisdiction
for
ongoing
work
and
summarizes
plans
for
future
investments.
In
line
with
the
mission
of
the
Minneapolis
youth
Coordinating
Board
to
promote
the
health
safety,
education
and
development
of
Minneapolis
children
and
young
people
so
be
further
resolved.
R
The
city
account
the
City
Council
of
the
city
of
Minneapolis
City
supports
the
compact
commitments
of
the
five
specific
areas
of
action,
including
well-being,
safety,
housing,
employment
and
engagement,
and
that's
the
resolution
that
we'll
be
bringing
forward
for
Friday's
consideration.
But
I've
wanted
to
highlight
it's
a
continued
work
of
what
the
youth
Coordinating
Board
is
doing
and
the
city
of
Minneapolis
is
taking
on
as
that
role
of
lead
agency,
making
sure
the
other
jurisdictions
share
those
kind
of
mission
and
goals.
R
A
S
Good
morning
mr.
chair
and
members,
I'm
Pat,
Moore
and
I'm
a
consultant
in
the
city
coordinators
office,
you
would
normally
expect
to
see
the
city
coordinator
today.
He's
asked
me
to
stand
in
for
him,
he's
of
course,
taller
smarter
and
far
more
dashing
than
I,
so
I
I
ask
for
your
indulgence
on
all
of
those
things
today,
we're
in
front
of
you
today,
because
the
Super
Bowl
planning
work
is
coming
to
its
end
and
the
operational
work
is
beginning.
S
But
before
that
starts,
we
wanted
to
do
an
overview
for
you
on
what
this
event
is
and
I
tell
you
a
little
bit
more
about
what's
coming,
the
council
has
taken
a
number
of
actions
to
support
this
event,
starting
with
in
April
the
funding
agreement
between
the
city
and
the
host
committee,
and
then
a
number
of
other
actions
have
been
taken
as
well.
Our
expectation
at
this
point
is
to
not
bring
other
actions
in
front
of
you,
although
we
can't
promise
that
that
won't
happen.
S
T
Pass
and
thank
you
very
much
I'm
again,
Maureen
gouge
CEO
of
the
Minnesota
Super
Bowl
host
committee
and
I've
met
with
many
of
you,
and,
and
some
of
you
are
up
to
speed
on
many
of
many
of
these
ish
topics
around
the
Super
Bowl,
but
I
did
want
to
review
them
formally
with
all
of
you.
So
it's
pretty
exciting
and
we
only
have
52
days
left
until
we
see
many
many
people
from
around
the
world
coming
to
Minneapolis,
there
will
be
over
5,000
media
they'll
be
guests
from
130
countries.
T
We
have
a
group
of
volunteers
11,000,
actually
that
are
so
excited
if
the
Vikings
make
it
into
the
game.
I
don't
know
that
they
will
be
able
to
contain
themselves.
So
we're
very
lucky,
because
our
team
is
doing
well,
but
a
little
bit
about
the
Super
Bowl.
We
are
a
501
C
6.
Our
job
was
to
raise
private
funds
to
host
the
Super
Bowl.
We
are
not
the
NFL,
we
are
locally
run.
We
have
a
staff
of
30
almost
entirely
Minnesotans.
T
As
you
know,
our
mission
is
it's
very
important
to
us
and
we
want
to
use
this
beautiful
new
stadium
to
introduce
Minnesota
the
authentic,
bold
north
reflect
our
diverse
and
innovative
culture,
two
of
our
state
by
creating
the
really
a
preeminent
Super
Bowl
experience
that
delivers
on
our
promises
and
generates
a
significant
economic
impact
for
our
state.
Most
importantly
provides
a
lasting
legacy
for
Minnesota,
so
the
bold
North
has
caught
on
a
little
bit
and
we
like
to
refer
to
ourselves
it's
as
a
bold
north.
T
You
can't
hide
February,
so
we
might
as
well
enjoy
it
and
brand
it
again.
As
I
mentioned,
we
will
have
several
several
groups
in
the
bar
get
over
the
ten-day
Superbowl
experience
that
begins
January,
26,
1
million
visitors
or
visits
some
of
them
will
come
twice.
We
hope
some
of
them
will
come
everyday,
400
million
economic
impact.
That's
a
conservative
estimate!
If
we
don't
get
a
blizzard,
people
can
get
here,
we're
optimistic
that
we'll
make
that
500
million
and
earned
media
we're
well
on
our
way.
T
We
began
the
year
the
day
after
the
Superbowl
ended
in
Houston,
with
a
52-week
marketing
campaign
for
Minneapolis
for
Minnesota
and
most
important
element
of
that
was
our
52
weeks
of
giving
each
week
on
Tuesday.
We
have
given
a
grant
to
an
organization
throughout
the
state.
We
are
the
Minnesota
Super
Bowl,
so
we've
tried
to
reach
every
corner
of
the
state
by
the
time
the
game
rolls
around
February
4th.
We
will
have
given
over
5
million
in
grants.
T
These
are
just
a
few
of
the
Minneapolis
organizations
that
received
grants,
there's
more
to
come
in
the
next
few
weeks,
because
we
brought
it
home
to
Minneapolis.
In
addition
to
the
grants
that
the
host
committee
gives
the
NFL
will
do
quite
a
few
fundraisers
the
week
of
Superbowl
you'll
see
them
all
over
town
our
grants.
T
We
were
very
careful
that
80%
of
our
grants
were
given
to
organizations
serving
children
in
poverty
and
70%,
so
children
of
color,
one
of
the
most
fun
things
I
have
done
in
the
three
years
that
I
have
been
with
the
Super
Bowl
host
committee
was
this
morning
and
when
we
went
to
when
I
went
to
my
first
year,
Super
Bowl
in
Arizona,
you
tore
the
the
stadium
on
Friday
future
cities,
and
we
saw
this
team
practicing.
They
were
getting
all
the
cam
Burling
camera
angles.
T
They
were
all
suited
up
and
they
were
a
high
school
team
and
we
asked
about
it.
They
said
well,
they
choose
one
high
school,
one,
very
special
high
school
that
goes
out
and
pretends
they're,
the
Super
Bowl
team
and
they
get
to
prep.
So
we
campaigned
with
the
NFL
to
choose
North,
High
School,
and
this
morning
the
kids
found
out.
They
went
absolutely
wild
and
they
don't
even
truly
understand
what
the
experience
will
be
like,
but
they
will
be
the
only
ones
in
the
stadium
before
the
game.
They
will
pretend
they're.
T
The
Super
Bowl
team
they'll
have
their
pictures
taken
from
all
different
angles.
The
coin
toss
and
national
anthem-
it's
really
a
cool
experience,
and
they
they
totally
deserve
it.
So
we
are
now
calling
them.
The
bold
North,
polers
and
they've
agreed
they're,
they're,
wonderful,
kids,
and
they
were
very
well
deserving,
as
is
their
coach,
Chuck
Adams.
T
So
we
have,
as
I
mentioned
the
most
wonderful
group
of
volunteers,
30,000
applied,
15,000
came
in
for
interviews,
ten
thousand-plus
were
selected,
they
were,
they
are
being
dressed
by
Target
in
these
beautiful,
warm
outfits
and
they
are
so
enthusiastic,
they're
being
trained
in
many
different
areas
of
the
Superbowl,
including
safety
and
security
and
anti
human
trafficking
and
some
other
very
important
things.
But
they
are
the
first
hello
they're,
the
first
impression
people
will
get
of
Minnesota
and
they
are
certainly
the
most
important
element
of
the
Super
Bowl
because
they
create
the
experience
they
come
from.
T
All
over
I
just
shot
the
Minnesota
map,
but
actually
they're
coming
from
all
over
the
country.
90%
are
Minnesotans,
but
they
do
come
from
all
over.
They
love
this
experience.
We
actually
did
our
first
rally
a
few
weeks
ago
at
the
Excel
Center
in
st.
Paul,
and
we
planned
and
budgeted
for
89
hundred
of
our
ten
thousand
to
come.
We
had
12,000
show
up
I
think
they
brought
their
friends
and
relatives
in
the
next.
It
was
absolutely
amazing.
T
We
also
have
a
business
connect
program.
This
is
an
NFL
program.
It's
a
supplier
diversity
program.
It's
this
program
serves
as
a
conduit
between
diverse
companies
in
Minnesota,
who
can
are
capable
of
competing
for
NFL
contracts,
host
committee
contract
sponsor
contracts.
We've
had
this
site
up
and
the
resource
guide
available
for
over
a
year
they've
been
receiving
business
development
training,
they
need
to
be
certified
and
they
are
certified.
There
are
over
400
companies
in
the
database
right
now.
T
These
are
just
a
few
of
the
Minneapolis
companies
that
have
been
getting
contracts.
We've
been
using
this
group
for
over
a
year,
but
there's
still
much
more
to
come,
I
believe
the
NFL
tailgate
announced
the
other
day.
Most
a
hundred
percent
of
their
food
vendors
are
from
the
business
connect
program,
so
that
was
pretty
exciting
for
them.
T
One
of
our
chairs,
Marilyn
Carlson
Nelson,
is
a
global
leader
in
this
area,
so
we
can
mean
a
group
of
wonderful
Minnesotans,
Terry,
Williams,
John,
choy,
Amanda,
Cunha,
Tahara
service
providers,
law
enforcement
survivors
and
advocates
businesses
and
the
faith
community
with
four
goals
to
increase
public
awareness,
prevent
and
disrupt
buyers
and
sellers
enhance
service
for
victims
and
develop
a
replicable
a
reputable
model.
They
have
done
a
marvelous
job.
Our
volunteers
are
being
trained
according
to
their
instructions.
T
The
industry
is
being
informed
with
meetings
through
January
and
Atlanta
has
asked
for
our
plan
so
quickly
to
run
down
Super
Bowl
week.
It
begins
at
four
o'clock
on
January
26th
Nicollet
Mall,
with
a
concert
by
some
wonderful
Minnesotans,
but
a
special
appearance
by
idina
menzel
singing
frozen.
Because,
again,
we
can't
hide
February,
so
we
might
as
well
lean
into
it.
The
next
morning
the
Super
Bowl
experience
will
open
in
the
Minneapolis
Convention
Center.
That
is
two
and
a
half
times
as
large
as
Nickelodeon
Universe
same
price
point.
T
It
is
an
absolute
fabulous
attraction
built
around
football.
The
teams
arrive
on
Sunday
opening
night
is
on
Monday
night,
that
is
at
the
Excel
center
doors
open
at
5:30.
The
media
party
is
Tuesday
night.
That's
where
we
entertain
those
5,000
media,
although
they
will
be
in
town
from
Friday
on
many
of
them.
Our
business
connect
gala.
Celebrating
these
diverse
businesses
Wednesday
evening
Thursday
many
of
the
game
goers
come
in
still
those
first
six
days.
T
We
really
market
to
the
Midwest
into
Canada
anywhere
there's
a
football
fan
and
we
know
I
know
from
my
experience
it's
very
easy
to
attract
people
to
this
community.
It's
a
wonderful
place
to
visit,
so
we
are
marketing
for
the
first
six
days.
There's
plenty
of
hotel
rooms,
there's
plenty
to
do
to
that
group
Thursday
the
game
goers
come
in
and
you'll
sees
concerts
and
partner
events
and
several
other
activities
on
Thursday,
beginning
Thursday.
Friday
NFL
honors
is
at
Northrop
auditorium
on
the
3rd.
That
is
really
their
award
night.
T
T
So
one
of
the
one
of
the
things
that
the
NFL
allows
a
host
committee
in
a
city
to
do
is
to
showcase
itself
and
to
use
a
platform
that
the
NFL
gives
us
to
showcase
what
we
are
known
best
for.
So
we
have
chosen
to
do
that
on
Nicollet
Mall
with
something
called
Super,
Bowl
Live,
and
it
will
go
from
12
Street
to
sixth
Street.
T
As
you
can
see,
the
conventions
is
the
home
of
the
experience,
the
Superbowl
experience,
and
then
we
transition
down
to
12
and
go
all
the
way
to
6
with
activations
that
support
and
promote
Minnesota.
The
hours
are
listed
here
on
weekdays.
We
don't
open
until
4
o'clock
for
the
most
part,
except
for
Friday,
the
second
and
that's
in
order
to
allow
businesses
to
run
as
smoothly
as
possible,
and
we
try
to
close
between
9:00
or
10:00.
Each
evening
it
will
not
run
late
on
weekends.
We
are
closed.
T
T
T
We
need
to
represent
every
one
of
the
32
teams,
so
we're
putting
their
jerseys
in
ice.
Up-And-Down,
Nicollet,
Mall,
snow
globe
photo
ops
by
hallmark
and
hundy,
and
then
we
have
this
wonderful
ice
stage
that
will
be
at
the
corner
of
the
Dayton
project
on
Nicollet
and
8th,
and
you
might
have
read
about
the
fact
that
we
we
asked
Jimmy,
Jam
and
Terry
Lewis
to
come
home
and
to
help
us
orchestrate
a
phenomenal
lineup
of
Minnesota
sound,
and
they
gladly
did
it.
T
They
are
two
of
the
most
wonderful
Minnesotans
that
I've
ever
met
and
we
will
start
out.
As
you
can
see,
this
is
our
lineup.
They
themed
each
day
differently
and
I
won't
go
into
all
the
details,
but
these
we
start
out,
as
I
mentioned
the
first
night,
with
a
quick
song
by
idina
menzel
and
then
we'll
go
into
several
others.
Monday
is
a
salute
to
prince
with
the
revolution.
Sheila
E
Morris
day
in
the
time
and
I
understand
that
it
might
be
the
original
time.
T
Death
of
the
suburbs
of
Steel's
Sunday
is
gospel
day,
and
we,
this
was
really
just.
The
first
group
will
probably
have
over
the
course
of
the
week
over
50
entertainers
on
Nicollet
Mall
on
the
stage
very
short
concerts.
It
will
be
cold
but
they're
coming
back
and
they're
performing
outside
because
of
Jimmy
and
Terry.
Really
it
it's
it's
hard
to
to
have
people
perform
outside
the
winner.
Each
night
we've
asked
our
Native
American
community
to
become
involved
and
they
are
bringing
different
groups
to
drum
down
the
Sun
between
4:30
and
5:00.
T
When
there's
some
Sun
sets
our
Native
American
youth
will
drum
down
the
Sun.
We
have
a
wonderful
group
of
dancers,
all
local
that
were
selected
to
create
a
bold
North,
dance
and
they'll
dance
every
night
to
close
the
street
between
9:00
and
10:00
and
they're
selected,
high
school
and
college
drum
course
that
will
perform.
Also
during
the
week
I
mentioned
a
little
bit
ago,
Super
Bowl
experience.
This
really
is
an
amazing
event.
T
One
other
element
of
Super
Bowl
live
is
the
media
and
we
have
several
large
national
organizations
that
will
be
on
Nicollet
Mall
for
ten
days,
which
is
a
wonderful
opportunity
to
promote
the
city
because
they're
all
looking
for
content,
we
have
CNN,
we
have
ESPN,
we
have
NFL
Network
NBC
and
then,
of
course,
our
local
affiliates
will
be
on
Nicollet
month.
We
published
a
few
weeks
ago
know
before
you
go,
which
is
a
great
guide.
It
lives
on
our
website,
it's
available
for
anyone
who
wants
it.
T
It's
updated
constantly
regarding
traffic
routes,
parking
options,
public
transportation,
rideshare,
skyways
and
and
the
airport
etc
so
know
that
that's
there
and
we're
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
Some
of
you
already
know
we're
happy
to
go
talk
to
building
owners
and
so
on
and
help
them
through
the
process
of
understanding
the
Superbowl.
So
that's
a
very
top-line
very
much
an
overview,
but
you
have
the
picture
now
and
with
that
I'll.
T
B
You
mr.
chair,
it's
actually
for
the
regarding
the
previous
presentation,
but
maybe
it
would
be
addressed
going
forward,
but
my
question
was
about
how
the
businesses
that
our
parts
of
these
events
would
be
impacted
so
particularly
along
Nicollet
Mall,
where
a
lot
of
the
businesses
have
been.
You
know,
we've
had
construction
there
for
quite
a
while.
Is
there
any
impact
that
they
would
have
to
their
hours,
operation
or
access
to
their
businesses
during
concerts
or
other
events,
and.
S
They
many
of
them
have
existing
permits
that
allow
the
use
of
their
sidewalk
throughout
the
year,
and
so
the
host
committee
and
its
planners
have
been
talking
to
each
one
of
those
businesses
about,
what's
going
to
happen
in
front
of
their
business,
the
expected
pedestrian
flow
traffic
not
only
to
get
their
businesses
supplied
but
their
but
their
employees
to
work.
That's
why
this
no
before
you
could
always
so
important,
because
businesses
and
frankly
the
city
as
a
major
employer
downtown,
has
had
questions
from
its
own
employees
about.
Why?
Don't
we
get
to
work?
S
Can
we
curtain
the
places?
What
we
normally
want
to,
and
so
all
of
those
kinds
of
things,
are
important
to
communicate
to
people
who
work
downtown
people
who
visit
downtown
regularly
and
the
visitors
who
are
going
to
be
here
too
and
then.
Lastly,
the
areas
around
the
and
the
businesses
around
and
the
employers
around
us,
Bank
Stadium,
have
all
been
canvassed
and
talked
to
about
street
closures,
especially
over
there
and
when
they
will
occur.
You
can
imagine
that
the
employer,
such
as
the
county
around
the
the
hospital
and
the
medical
examiner's
office,
have
been
intricately.
S
A
part
of
the
planning
work
on
street
closures
and
traffic
and
transportation
have
been
very
important
to
those
things.
Many
of
those
many
of
these
employers,
especially
the
hotels,
restaurants
and
folks
in
the
hospitality
business,
can't
wait
for
this
to
start.
This
is
a
boon.
This
event
will
be
fabulous
for
their
business,
but
there
are
others
that
are
equally
concerned
about
how
do
I
get
customers
to
my
business.
How
do
I
get
my
employees
how
to
get
my
suppliers,
so
those
kinds
of
questions
have
been
raised
and
answer
and
I
think,
especially.
S
The
host
committee
has
done
a
good
job
of
reaching
out
to
them.
There
are
regular
events
that
they
hold
for
the
businesses,
especially
up
and
down
Nicollet
Mall
in
relation
to
Super
Bowl
Live
Marine
have
I
anything
else.
I
hope
that
covers
that
you
may
still
hear
from
others
about
concerns
that
they
may
have,
especially
about
transportation
and
parking,
and
there
may
also
be
public
safety
concerns
that
they
have.
But
there's
been
a
considerable
outreach
that
the
host
committee,
it
largely
has
sponsored
so.
A
N
B
Then,
just
a
quick
thank
you
for
that.
It's
very
helpful
I
wondered
if
the
host
committee
or
the
city
has
been
done-
an
outreach
more
broadly
to
our
business
community,
about
how
folks,
who
have
businesses
outside
of
downtown
might
help
benefit
from
this
international
event
and
all
the
visitors
that
are
coming
to
town
and
whatnot
reach
has
done,
and
honor
could
be
done.
You
know
outside
that.
T
We've
we've
really
been
meeting
with
people
for
three
years
to
talk
about
the
opportunities
we've
spoken
to
many
many
many
different
groups,
business
groups,
business
associations
to
get
them
involved,
so
I
think
I
think
probably
totally.
We've
spoken
to
50
or
60
different
business
organizations
over
the
past
three
years
and
said
you
know
here
are
the
opportunities
you're
now
to
go
about
it
in
the
initial
but
to
try
to
get
them
involved
if
they
qualified
for
a
business
connect
program
but
very
much
an
outreach
on
a
regular
basis.
We.
A
S
The
city's
website,
as
it
relates
to
especially
those
regulatory
items,
have
been
highlighted
in
the
city.
The
city's
website
that
supports
the
this
event
and
the
host
committees
website
that's
linked
to
the
city's
website,
so
questions
that
have
come
up
about
city
permits,
city
regulatory
actions
are
should
be
well
known
to
folks
who
regularly
do
business
here
and
who
are
going
to
be
doing
business
here
temporarily
as
a
result
of
an
event
of
this
of
this
magnitude.
S
So
the
city
has
taken
extra
steps
to
make
those
requirements
known
to
those
businesses
that
are
going
to
be
doing
things
here,
especially
to
those
businesses
that
don't
regularly
do
business
here
and
I
know.
Brittney
has
taken
lots
of
questions
and
has
has
been
sort
of
the
city's
concierge
to
direct
people
to
the
right
places.
To
get
answers
to
those
questions
appreciate.
E
D
S
Public
Works
will
take
that
on
okay.
That,
of
course,
is
operated
by
Metro
Transit's
right.
We
can.
We
can
take
their
questions
or
see
what
the
nature
of
your
questions
are.
I
think
our
when
we
may
be
somewhat
limited
on
what
we
can
do
there,
but
we'll
certainly
take
that
up
when
it
comes
to
public
work
and.
D
S
Right
so
major
events
like
this
and
other
events,
the
city
provides
infrastructure,
Public,
Safety
transportation,
all
of
its
regulatory
apparatus
to
ensure
safety
of
both
citizens
and
visitors
and
businesses
that
that
are
here.
What's
so
unusual
about
this
event
is,
is
its
magnitude.
Both
its
attention
nationally
and
internationally,
with
media,
and
just
the
sheer
size
of
it
requires,
has
required
additional
resources
on
the
city's
part,
which
the
hoods
committee
is
paying
us
for.
S
One
of
those
is
making
sure
that
we
have
enough
Public,
Safety
resources,
and
so
this
this
event
of
this
size
has
required
us
to
reach
out
well
beyond
our
own
resources,
and
chief
Rhonda
will
speak
to
that.
Additionally,
we
know
that
this
event
is
going
to
require
considerable
coordination
across
many
jurisdictions
on
many
issues,
and
so
you'll
also
hear
about
our
multi-agency
command
center
for
Public
Safety.
S
So
let
me
there's
a
quick
list
of
our
internal
joke.
Here
is
that
every
city
department
except
the
Assessor,
has
been
involved
in
Super
Bowl
planning
he
would
like
to
be,
and
we
haven't
found
a
role
for
him
yet,
but
I
can
assure
you
that
virtually
everybody
else
has
been
involved
with
this
planning
work.
Let
me
turn
it
over
to
chief
Rando
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
our
public
safety
preparations
and
then
public
works
will
come
and
speak
to
speak
about
transportation
and
hopefully
get
to
councilmember
fries
question.
G
Chair
Johnson
committee
members,
so
first
I'd
like
to
say
that
this
is
truly.
It
takes
everyone
within
the
city,
enterprise
and
so
we're
very
fortunate
as
a
city.
Certainly
me
as
Chief
of
Police
to
work
so
closely
with
our
folks,
whether
its
regulatory
services,
our
M
ECC
fire,
Public,
Works,
we're
at
it
we're
at
a
good
point
here,
overview
of
Public
Safety.
G
How
Superbowl
is
going
to
impact
our
city,
Super
Bowl
is
considered
a
seer
se
AR
one
level
event
that
is
special
events,
assessment
rating,
that
is
the
highest
rating
that
the
Federal
Department
Homeland
Security,
gives
this
event
this
event
will
bring
in
more
federal
assets,
support
and
resources
to
Minneapolis
than
ever
before,
and
partly
because
of
just
the
complexities
that
is
involved
with
this
planning.
We
do
have
a
federal
coordinator
assigned
to
Minneapolis.
He
has
been
with
us
since
the
beginning
of
the
planning.
G
This
person
has
been
what
this
agent
has
been
with
us
from
the
beginning
and
making
sure
that,
in
terms
of
those
coordinating,
those
federal
assets
and
resources
that
everything
remains
in
place
and
that
we
have
that
in
place
for
us,
those
federal
assets
and
resources
are
at
no
cost
to
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
while
Minneapolis
Police
Department
is
the
lead
law
enforcement
agency.
This
truly
is
a
Minnesota
event
because
of
the
size
and
scope.
G
We
have
been
very
fortunate
to
have
many
other
resources
from
across
our
great
state
from
other
law
enforcement
agencies
that
have
stepped
up
to
the
plate.
To
help
make
this
an
absolutely
friendly,
safe
and
welcoming
environment
from
as
far
north
is
Ely
Minnesota
Police
Department
to
far
south
as
Rochester
Police
Department.
So
we
will
be.
G
The
city
of
Minneapolis
will
be
indoctrinated
with
a
lot
of
our
public
safety
partners
from
around
the
state,
as
I
mentioned,
we
will
be
coordinating
with
our
local
state
and
federal
resources
and
all
capacities,
whether
it's
peace
officers,
Nicollet
Mall,
or
whether
it's
through
intelligence
gathering.
We
will
have
a
robust
public
safety
coordination
as
I've
been
signing
joint
powers
agreement
from
a
lot
of
these
agencies.
As
I
said,
we
have
ample
resources
in
terms
of
the
law
enforcement
agencies
that
will
be
providing
support
here
in
Minneapolis.
G
All
of
our
peace
officers,
who
are
going
to
assist
from
the
local
state
and
federal
will
be
having
an
orientation.
They
will
certainly
know
that
the
mission
and
vision
for
the
Minneapolis
Police
Department
is
we
want
every
single
person
out
there
in
uniform
to
be
holding
themselves
to
the
highest
level
of
integrity,
to
making
sure
that
their
friendly
approachable
there
will
be
orient,
there's
already
orientation
videos
that
have
been
conducted.
G
We
really
want
to
stress
the
respect
and
making
sure
that
our
residents,
our
visitors,
our
guests,
are
really
treated
in
the
in
the
best
most
propulsion
professional
way.
There
is
with
that
I
just
want
to
say
that
there
are
a
couple
of
key
points
for
me
as
chief
of
police.
Here.
This
event
is
great
in
scope
and
scale
as
it
will
be.
This
event
will
not
negatively
impact
our
9-1-1
response
for
our
400,000
residents.
G
We
will
have
enough,
and
we've
ensured
that
there's
enough
law
enforcement
presence
for
the
event
that
it
does
not
have
any
negative
impact
on
our
9-1-1
service.
We
will
continue
as
a
Minneapolis.
We
will
continue
to
ensure
that
our
community
members
certainly
have
the
their
constitutionally
First
Amendment
speech
and
assembly
is
there
so
that
folks
can
gather
if
they
need
to
demonstrate
or
protest,
they
will
be
able
to
do
so
and
we
will
provide
for
the
safety
of
any
sorts
of
demonstrations
that
should
occur.
G
Also,
there's
been
a
lot
of
conversation
about
the
impact
of
our
homeless
population.
We
are
very
sensitive
to
that.
All
law
enforcement
personnel
that
will
be
assigned
to
this
will
be
in
this
orientation.
We've
already
had
volunteers
that
have
packed
over
2000
tri-folds
that
will
list
all
of
our
city
resources
in
terms
of
homeless,
shelters,
social
service
agencies
at
every
briefing
of
training
every
day,
leading
up
to
the
Super
Bowl.
G
They
will
be
briefed
in
that
they
are
to
look
out
for
a
homeless
population
to
make
sure
that
they
are
safe,
that
they
are
warm
and
that
they
will
have
emergency
1-800
numbers.
A
state
st.
Stephen
Street
outreach
that
they
can
call
if
they
encounter
any
of
our
homeless
population
that
needs
services,
and
that
will
be
emphasized
each
and
every
day.
That
is
a
kind
of
a
30,000
foot
overview,
but
we're
looking
again.
G
B
You
mr.
chair,
just
a
couple
of
questions,
kind
of
to
the
theme
of
how
we're
balancing
making
sure
people
are
safe
and
secure
with
the
work
we've
been
doing
to
build
community
trusts
in
policing
and
the
sort
of
visual
impact
of
security
in
the
community.
So
to
that
end
a
couple
questions
I
had
were:
will
the
officers
and
law
enforcement
from
these
different
levels
of
government
be
wearing
their
regular
issued
uniforms
from
their?
G
Johnson
customer
bender,
so
all
of
these
I
would
like
to
fit
Ely
Minnesota
Police
with
our
uniforms,
but
all
of
them
will
and
as
part
of
it
is
the
that
the
Minnesota
field,
that
this
is
a
Minnesota
event,
so
they
will
be
wearing
their
individual
department
uniforms.
We
what
we
have
asked
as
a
City
for
the
assistance
of
our
National
Guard,
partly
because
of
the
size
and
scale
previous
Super
Bowl
City,
is
it
opposed
to
this?
G
They've
had
agencies
that
have
had
5000
plus
officers,
so
they
were
able
to
manage
that
security
apparatus
just
with
their
Police
Agency.
We
certainly
are
asking
for
the
assistance
of
others,
so
in
in
relationship
to
the
National
Guard.
They
will
certainly
have
their
standard
uniform,
but
they
will
not
be
acting
in
the
capacity
of
enforcement
and
we'll
be
teamed
up.
We
will
have
Minneapolis
police
in
these
spots,
where
there's
other
whether
it's
from
Ely
Minnesota
or
National
Guard.
They
will
be
there.
G
Our
folks
will
be
there
to
assist
if
anything
should
arise,
orientate
them
to
our
community
so,
and
a
lot
of
this
is
going
to
be
covered
during
those
daily
two
briefings,
as
well
as
the
orientation
videos
that
we
send
out
and
I've
been
also
reaching
out
to
there's
a
couple
of
questions
that
were
mentioned
earlier
about
I.
Think
cummerbund.
You
mentioned
about
their
commercial
properties
I.
Actually,
this
morning,
I
met
with
Bowman
our
commercial
real
estate
properties
Association
to
listen
to
them,
whether
it's
traffic
flows,
congestion,
anything
any
issues
that
they
may
have
kind
of.
G
O
B
Mean
my
second
question
was
about
the
work
that
we've
done
to
identify
and
acknowledge
that
racial
profiling
has
been
a
problem
in
our
city
in
the
past
and
work
to
correct
it.
And
how
will
our
department
is
sort
of
the
lead
agency
here
be
working
with
all
of
the
different
folks
from
around
the
state
and
these
different
organizations
to
make
sure
that
you
know
either
in
the
secure
areas
are
particularly
in
all
of
downtown
or
the
areas
around
the
events
that
we'll
be
making
sure
that
we're
not
participating
in
profiling.
G
Chair
Johnson,
cosmic
bender,
so
as
part
of
the
the
orientation
we
want
every
agency
that's
coming
in
to
have
a
footprint
in
our
city
to
understand
the
significance
of
our
procedural
justice
work.
We've
also
are
having
conversations
and
had
conversations
with
a
director
Korbel
from
civil
rights,
there's
going
to
be
informational
sessions
going
out
where
we
do
not
want
any.
We
want
this
to
be
again
a
very
welcoming
friendly.
We
do
not
want
to
have
one
event.
G
Distract
us
from
the
important
work
of
building
trust
that
we
need
to
do
all
of
our
supervisors,
and
commanders
know
that
that's
the
that's
the
the
relationship
that
we
need
to
have
during
this
event,
and
so
we
will
be
monitoring
and
that
as
well.
The
other
thing
I
again,
because
most
of
these
outside
agencies
will
have
specific
Superbowl
related
activities.
The
the
vast
majority
of
our
9-1-1
normal
service
response
will
be
from
our
Minneapolis
Police
Department.
D
Thank
You
mr.
chair,
wanted
to
briefly
add
on
to
council
members
council
member
Boehner's
questions
which
were
I,
think
the
right
ones
and
sort
of
reiterate
a
point
that
our
chief
made,
perhaps
just
in
a
different
way,
which
is
this
so
with
regard
to
the
National
Guard,
both
mayor,
Hodges
and
I,
requested
them,
given
that
this
is
a
pretty
significant
security
event
and
yes,
the
National
Guard
will
will
be
wearing
different
uniforms.
It
is
the
their
classic.
It's
green,
I'm,
not
sure
if
it's
technically
camo
or
fatigued,
but
it's
definitely
green
right.
Chair
Johnson
comes.
D
G
Johnson
to
cosmowright
in
absolutely
and
and
even
if,
in
the
event,
there
are
situations
or
dynamics
that
present
themselves
near
the
footprint
of
the
National
Guard
for
several
demonstrations
or
protests.
We
have
contingency
plans
where
they
would
be
removed
from
that
situation
and
we
would
utilize
our
Minneapolis,
please
whether
it's
by
cops
or
those
officers
who
have
had
relationships
in
terms
of
peacefully
and
safely
managing
any
types
of
demonstrations.
So.
S
U
Thank
You
mr.
chair
members
of
the
committee
I'll,
speak
briefly
about
our
preparations
for
traffic
and
circulation
for
the
pre
events
and
event.
A
few
notes
before
I
show
some
maps.
These
discussions
have
been
happening
for
about
a
year.
We've
been
working
with
all
of
our
partners
and
transportation,
as
well
as
the
host
committee
and
our
partner
departments
within
the
city.
U
So
a
quick
note
before
I
move
to
traffic
is
to
talk
about
winter,
it's
winter.
Today
we
had
a
little
bit
of
snow
and
we
are
preparing
our
snow
contingency
plans,
snow
and
ice
contingency
plans
to
be
able
to
handle
whatever
comes
our
way,
and
that
means
for
the
entire
city
serving
the
entire
city
at
the
level
of
service.
U
We
can't
emphasize
this
enough.
This
is
our
best
communication
tool
to
explain
the
work.
That's
gone
into
traffic
and
circulation,
so
there's
been
years
of
outreach.
We've
heard
about
that.
This
is
the
plan
that
we
can
come
up
with
and
the
best
way
to
communicate
it,
and
our
goal
is
to
minimize
impact
and
maximize
the
fun
I.
Don't
know
who
wrote
that
but
I
love
that
this
is
the
communities
and
our
one-stop
hub
for
information
to
keep
this
flowing.
U
So
we
are
encouraging
people
to
visit
the
website
here
in
the
website.
We
have
each
of
the
downtown
closures
outlined,
as
well
as
all
the
options
to
to
get
around
and
in
as
well.
How
do
you
get
around
when
it's
cold
out?
How
do
you
dress?
That's
probably
my
favorite
part
of
the
entire
in
the
downtown
associated
with
this
large
event.
We
have
three
areas
of
activity,
three
places
where
you
will
see
closures
of
our
streets.
The
first
is
around
Super
Bowl
live.
U
We
anticipate
these
closures
to
be
between
three
and
four
weeks
and
we
have
minimized
the
closure.
Red
shows
closure,
so
we
have
Nicollet
a
portion
of
the
niccola
mall
as
well
as
8th
Street
in
one
cross
street,
which
will
remain
closed.
The
other
streets
will
remain
open
and
flowing
now
in
a
public
safety
emergency
if
it
becomes
overwhelmed
with
pedestrians
or
there's
another
reason
to
close
particular
cross
streets,
they
can
be
done
on
a
temporary
basis.
U
That
may
happen
that
will
be
done
with
discretion,
but
by
and
large
we
anticipate
that
cross
streets
will
be
flowing
and
we
have
picked
the
major
cross
street
to
to
close.
In
order
to
create
more
space
for
the
event
second
area
of
downtown,
where
we
will
see
some
closures
is
around
the
fan,
experience
event
at
the
Convention
Center
again
about
three
weeks
here:
more
minimal
closures.
This
is
to
secure
a
perimeter
and
we
anticipate
honestly
not
a
lot
of
disruption
here
and
especially
if
we
communicate
in
advance.
U
But
of
course,
the
third
area,
probably
our
most
extensive
closures
are
around
the
event
site
itself.
There
are,
as
you
know,
there
will
be
a
secure
perimeter
that
will
some
space
on
our
streets.
To
do
that,
we
have
varying
timeframes
of
closures.
We
try
to
keep
our
cross
streets
open
and
flowing
for
as
long
as
possible,
closing
certain
areas
only
when
absolutely
needed
here
we
are
being
very
careful
to
communicate.
We
have
some
closures
that
will
affect
our
exit
from
downtown.
U
U
V
You
mr.
chair
Miss
Hutchinson,
thank
you
for
the
update.
As
you
might
know,
I
probably
know
more
about
what's
going
on
than
most,
even
that
a
lot
of
this
is
in
the
word
that
I
represent
I
want
to
express
a
concern
with
regard
to
the
very
broad
timeframe
surrounding
our
inability
and
unwillingness
to
issue
construction
permits
during
this
time.
You
know
we're
bumping
up
against
a
problem
at
the
federal
government
with
regard
to
the
tax
bill
and
trying
to
get
affordable
housing
projects
under
construction,
and
they
need
to
be
closed
and
under
construction.
I'll.
V
V
No
so
essentially
we're
asking
them
to
keep
the
gas
on
and
buildings
on
their
property
that
are
sitting
vacant
because
they
can't
get
permission
to
disconnect
a
gas
line,
and
what
we're
hearing
is,
if
we
allow
for
exceptions
for
one
we're
gonna
have
to
start,
allowing
for
exceptions
for
all
I
guess
what
I
would
say
is
we
have
to
have
some
out-of-the-box
thinking?
That
is
not
an
all-or-nothing
point
of
view.
I
have
a
really
good
relationship
with
your
staff
and
I.
V
We
have
a
three
month,
shutdown
of
all
development
within
downtown
and
I.
Don't
think
that's
consistent
with
our
values
in
terms
of
trying
to
be
a
business
friendly
city
and
keep
things
moving,
I,
don't
think
you
want
people
on
the
street
on
the
sidewalk
or
doing
things
that
would
otherwise
and
people
with
traffic
during
this
super
sensitive
time.
But
there
are
issues
that
need
to
have
a
little
bit
more
nuance
and
I'm,
hoping
since
mr.
Burgess
is
here
and
you're
here,
you
can
pass
on
that
need
for
nuance.
There's
no
need
for
you
to
respond.
V
U
Chair
and
councilmember
Goodman
I
would
like
just
to
take
a
moment
to
respond
and
say:
yes,
we
are
in
the
moratorium.
The
moratorium
allows
for
an
appeal.
The
appeal
is
considered
by
the
City
Engineer
basis.
Ernie,
they
say.
Society
has
granted
exceptions
and
I'd
be
happy
to
pull
up
this
particular
instance
and
to
engage
the
city
engineer
to
kick
in
that
appeal
process
and
see
where
we
can
show
flexibility.
Thank
you
for
bringing
it
to
my
attention.
V
Mr.
chair,
miss
Hutchinson,
the
groundbreaking
for
this
project
is
on
the
19th,
which
is
next
week,
yet
we
won't
be
actually
breaking
any
ground
embarrassingly
and
I'll
know.
For
my
colleagues
are
aware
of
this.
This
is
44.
The
units
are
three-bedroom
units
for
families.
The
longer
we
delay
their
construction,
the
longer
families
don't
have
somewhere
to
live.
S
We
will
stay
in
touch
with
you
as
things
change
as
there
may
be,
although
we
are
not
planning
on
any
other
requests
for
your
actions,
but
I'm
sure
there
will
be
other
reports
that
we'll
make
to
you
both
between
now
and
when
the
event
occurs,
and
then
there
certainly
will
be
a
review
of
how
the
event
has
occurred
afterwards
and
we'll
welcome
your
questions
and
participation
in
that.
Thank
you
for
allowing
us
to
give
you
an
overview,
and
we
will
certainly
find
ways
of
being
in
touch
with
you
between
now.
B
You
mr.
chair
I
just
wanted
to
note
something
that
a
few
of
us
have
been
discussing,
which
is
that
the
council
members
who
have
been
the
main
point
people
on
this
event,
planning
are
all
not
serving
next
term
for
one
reason
or
another,
and
so
I
just
think.
It's
important
to
note
there'll
be
a
need
for
continuity.
With
communication
with
the
council,
the
mayor
elects
office,
obviously
during
the
transition
and
then
into
early
next
year,
sort
of
wanted
to
raise
that
up
as
a.
D
You
mr.
chair
I
just
wanted
to
sorry
Robin
I
wanted
to
bring
you
back
up
real,
quick,
just
to
discuss
light
rail
I
should
have
taken
my
cute
earlier.
I
wanted
to
go
through
the
schedule
of
what's
happening
on
game
day,
as
well
as
the
day
before,
as
well
as
there
are
the
reasons
and
the
logistics
for
why
there
there's
a
couple
areas
where
I
do
have
some
some
concerns
overall,
but
I
wanted
to
make
sure.
U
U
Answer
to
the
degree
that
I
can
and
may
ask
for
additional
detail
if
John
were
just
has
it
behind
me.
It
is
my
understanding
that,
on
game
day,
I
think
this
is
the
crux
issue.
On
game
day,
light
rail
on
the
blue
line
will
be
limited
to
only
ticket
holders
who
are
attending
the
Super
Bowl
on
game
day.
Metro
Transit
will
be
providing
buses
and
alternate
methods
to
continue
to
provide
parallel
service
to
the
light
rail
once
the.
E
U
I,
don't
believe
there
are
other
chains
and
the
buses
will
not
be
operating
on
the
Nicollet
Mall
beginning
actually
fairly
soon.
In
a
couple
of
weeks,
those
buses
will
come
off
to
make
way
for
a
Super
Bowl
line
outside
of
that
I'm,
not
aware
of
any
substantive
changes
to
the
transit
system.
Those
are
the
main
changes
that
will
be
taking
place
and.
D
U
Mr.
chair
I'm
afraid
it
is
my
understanding
that
it
is
an
you
have
security
that
they
will
be
wagging
and
bagging
at
the
origin
point
of
light
rail,
which
is
the
Mall
of
America,
so
everything
will
be
sweep
Jen
cleaned
prior
to
passengers,
stepping
on
to
the
train
and
that
will
be
considered
a
secure
train
I'm,
getting
all
kinds
of
nodding
that
this
is
the
case
and.
D
The
concern
about
having
a
secure
train,
even
though
the
Train
isn't
stopping
at
the
particular
light
rail
station
in
front
of
the
stadium.
Is
that
someone
may
oh,
we
would
want
to
check
them
ahead
of
time
so
that
something
doesn't
happen
when
the
train
goes
by
the
stadium.
Is
that
the
reason?
Okay.
A
A
One
of
the
points
I
brought
up
to
Matt
Transit,
which
I
was
glad
to
see
them
implement,
is
that
this
is
a
inconvenience.
A
significant
inconvenience
for
the
daily
riders
and
the
buses
are
something
that
they
use
when
they
take
down
light
rail
lines
or
they
have
maintenance
or
disruptions,
but
that
it's
still
because
this
is
a
in
a
private
event,
though
it
is
also
of
global
significance.
And
so
it's
beyond
your
typical
private
event
that
this
isn't
a
typical
disruption
either
and
they
have
agreed
to
provide
free
transit
rides
on
those
buses.
A
S
N
S
S
The
security
perimeter
around
where
the
game
is
typically
held
so
to
have
people
be
checked
in
at
the
Mall
of
America
and
then
taken
by
train
or
at
TCF,
Bank
Stadium
or
in
our
convention
center
is
a
very
unusual
practice.
The
NFL
likes
it
because
it
provides
additional
means
of
security,
but
they
have.
They
have
been
supportive
of
this
and
it
allows
us
frankly
to
show
off
our
transit
system
in
a
way
that
other
cities
either
don't
have
or
don't
aren't
willing
to
do
so.
S
Our
hats
really
are
off
to
Metro
Transit
for
working
through
what
really
would
have
been
a
fairly
major
shutdown
of
the
green
of
the
blue
line
on
game
day,
and
now
it's
going
to
be
open
and
will
be
used
by
people
with
tickets
and,
of
course,
everybody
else
who
needs
to
get
someplace
by
transit.
That
day
will
be
afforded
a
chance
to
do
that.
Mr.
S
A
I
just
wanted
to
point
that
out
that
that's
another
piece
in
play
here
and
a
risk
certainly
and
I'm
sure
something
that
the
folks
are
taking
into
account
so
new,
no
questions
or
discussion.
Well,
thank
you
for
the
presentation.
We
appreciate
the
thoroughness
of
it
and
bringing
forward
these
important
updates
to
the
council
into
the
public.
A
I'll
add
my
comment.
Skull
Viking
so,
hopefully
we'll
be
playing
in
the
Super
Bowl,
which
will
just
add
yet
another
complicating
factor
and
risk
for
all
of
the
folks
planning,
but
that's
classic
Minnesota
fashion
for
our
sports
teams
to
do
that.
Just
adds
to
the
build
up.
So
with
that.
So
you
know
for
their
comments,
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
move
receiving
and
filing
of
this
presentation
all
those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
aye,
all
those
opposed
that
carries.
Thank
you
all
very
much.
A
We
have
one
more
discussion
item
the
council
calendar
for
expedience
here,
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
move
this
draft
calendar
with
a
staff
direction
to
modify
the
committee
of
the
whole
times
to
1:30
p.m.
and
I
am
happy
to
speak
to
that.
If
any
colleagues
are
interested
in
the
reasoning-
and
we
also
have
our
clerk
with
us
today,
so
that
motion
is
out
there-
all
Casey
Carl
wants
to
make
any
comments
and
then
nope
not
see
any
comments
on
that.
A
So
I'll
just
comment
on
the
reason
for
that
change
is:
we
are
members
of
the
Metropolitan
emergency
services
board.
This
is
one
of
the
many
committees
that
council
members
and
elected
officials
and
representatives
of
the
city
are
appointed
to.
That
is
an
organization
that
is
made
up
of
counties
from
across
the
Metro
and
next
year.
Minneapolis
is
presiding
over
that
organization,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
being
responsive
to
it
and
I
know
that
over
the
past
year
the
timing
of
committee
of
the
whole
has
conflicted
with
that.
A
Quite
significantly,
and
after
talking
with
the
organization
about
trying
to
move
their
meetings,
it
quickly
becomes
complicated
when
you
have
dozens
of
county
commissioners
all
with
separate
conflicts
as
well,
and
so
it
seems
like
an
opportune
time,
given
the
significance
of
that
seat,
to
just
make
this
change
on
the
calendar
moving
forward.
So
any
discussion
on
this
draft
calendar
seeing
none
all
those
in
favor
of
the
motion,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
aye
as
oppose
that
motion
carries
that
we
have.
V
You
mr.
chair
CDRs
is
bringing
forward
13
items
for
approval
on
Friday.
One
of
the
main
reasons
where
we
met
was
because
of
two
projects
actually
three
total
the
Albright
Tyne
townhomes,
the
Riverside
town
homes,
which
are
items
1,
&
2,
which
we're
moving
forward
kind
of
ahead
of
schedule
as
a
result
of
the
problem
at
the
federal
level,
with
the
tax
credits.
I
also
note
that
we
are
going
to
agree
to
transfer
100
percent
of
our
remaining
2017
bonding
authority
to
the
city
of
st.
V
Paul,
because
they
can
use
those
bonds
and
closed
before
the
end
of
the
year.
Should
we
then
dodged
the
bullet
of
losing
the
tax
credits?
The
city
of
st.
Paul
will
issue
those
bonds
back
to
us,
so
we
can
continue
to
fund
projects
that
are
on
our
pipeline,
so
that
would
include
actually
items
12
as
well
as
items
1
&
2
item
1
is
a
final
approval
item
2.
There
are
a
number
of
items
to
move
forward,
but
this
would
at
least
get
the
bonds
dedicated
to
the
project.
V
If
we
do
lose
our
entitlement
Authority,
it
will
happen
immediately.
So
there
will
be
no
credits
for
2018
items,
3,
4
and
5,
or
liquor
business
and
gambling
licenses
item
6
is
the
East
Towne
apartments
bond
issuance
in
the
Third
Ward?
This
is
the
same
issue
with
regard
to
our
entitlement
bond
allocation
item,
7,
8
and
9,
and
10
our
contract
extensions
or
changes
for
things
like
document
storage,
as
well
as
software
services
and
things
that
needed
to
be
cleaned
up
at
year-end
item.
V
11
are
some
simple
changes
to
our
2016
and
17
rehab
support
program
and
our
contracts
with
Minnesota
Housing
item
12
is
the
bonding
authority.
We
discussed
in
item
13
our
amendments
to
the
city's
unified
housing
policy.
I'll
note
that
we
agreed
to
make
those
amendments
to
the
unified
housing
policy
as
a
result
of
the
section.80
anti-discrimination
ordinance
that
passed
and
we
were
able
to
take
up
some
concerns
from
the
Harrison
neighborhood.
At
the
same
time,
with
that
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
on
items
1
through
13
now.
A
B
You,
mr.
chair,
we
had
four
items
from
zoning
and
planning
item
number
one
was
rezoning
and
vacation
for
Nyko
properties
related
to
the
35w
transit
access
project.
Item
number
two
is
a
rezoning
for
an
affordable
housing
project.
We
sent
this
board
with
that
recommendation
to
explore
the
opportunity
for
a
retaining
industrial
living
overlay
district
zoning
here,
instead
of
changing
it
to
the
c3a
that
has
been
recommended,
staff
is
working
on
that
and
I
know
that
councilmembers,
Reich
and
Gordon
are
talking
with
each
other
and
with
staff
about
the
difference
there.
