Description
Minneapolis City Council Meeting
B
B
The
resolution
is
a
youth
climate
leadership
resolution.
The
Minneapolis
City
Council
recognizes
the
leadership
and
vision
of
local
youth
on
the
issue
of
climate
change
and
is
committed
to
protect
them
and
future
generations
from
the
risks
of
climate
destruction,
whereas
across
the
world,
people
are
facing
new
and
challenging
environmental
problems
daily,
such
as
pollution,
depletion
of
Natural,
Resources
and
loss
of
biodiversity.
B
Increasing
municipal
energy,
creating
green
jobs,
recovering
more
recyclable
materials
and
reducing
air
pollution,
and
whereas
the
city
government
also
is
committed
to
innovating
and
results-driven
business
practices
to
maintain
and
enhance
livability
of
our
city,
including
integrating
sustainable
principles
and
indicators.
Now,
therefore,
be
it
resolved
by
the
mayor
and
city
council
that
this
resolution
recognizes
the
leadership
of
our
youth
and
commends
their
vision
for
action
to
protect
our
environment
and
continues
our
commitments
to
sustainable
practices
and
policies
that
will
protect
these
youth
and
the
generations
after
them.
C
When
we
testified
before
the
PC
committee,
we
received
some
good
feedback
from
councilmembers,
Jenkins
and
Cunningham
regarding
making
sure
that
all
youth
are
involved
in
this
process
to
make
sure
that
we're
representing
everyone
who's
in
this
city,
and
we
think
a
resolution
right
like
this-
would
really
help
strengthen
our
commitment
and
resolve
to
making
sure
that
we
can
really
have
all
youth
represented
in
this
process
and
ensuring
that
we
are
able
to
continue
pushing
action
on
climate
change.
So,
thank
you
so
much.
D
Yeah,
it's
been
a
really
interesting
experience
and
it's
really
glad
to
nice
to
see
it
actually
get
a
resolution
passed
and
we've
actually
had
over
1,000
students
sign
our
petition
and
we've
had
over
35
businesses
and
organizations,
including
18
neighborhood
associations,
endorse
us
so
to
see
that
this
support
actually
gets
us
somewhere
is
really
really
cool
and
we're
gonna
keep
pushing
for
more
aggressive
climate
policies.
Yeah
thank.

A
A
A
levan
sana
is
the
director
of
the
civil
service
planning
division

the
Ministry

and
he
works

as
the
director
to
research
laws
on
civil

and
overseeing
national
and
local
government
restructuring
and
worth
court
force
planning
and
he's
really
interested
in
learning
and
sharing
their
experience
with
workforce
development
programs
from
Malaysia.
We
have
ZM
Mons,
Annie,
the
co
founder

and
he
has
a
number
of
roles.
A
They

where
he's
the
assistant
manager
at
the
Malaysian
global
innovation
and
creativity
center,
and
he's
interested
in
working
on
connecting
entrepreneurs
and
corporations
for
game-changing
initiatives
in
Malaysia
and
he's
also

A
We

to
generating
useful

actionable
information
to
drive
policy
change
in
an
evidence-based
platform
for
advocacy.
And
she
is
really
interested
in
particularly
connecting
folks
to
budget
and
learning
about
how
we
can
make
budgets
more
transparent
and
open
and
inclusive
for
public
participation.
So
we
look
forward
again
to
working
with
each

them.
A
For
my
colleagues,
I
will
say
we
get
to
invite
them
to
anything
interesting
in
our
wards
or
the
community
and

we
look
forward
to
learning
as
well
from
all
of
you
and
the
work
that
you're
doing.
So.
Thank
you
for
joining
us
today
with

we
will
go

any
amendments
to
the
agenda.
That's
before
us
for
today's
meeting,
seeing
none
is
there
a
motion
to
approve
the
agenda.
A
A
A
Those
in
favor
say
aye
aye,
any
opposed
that
carries.
The
referrals
are
made.
The
next
order
of
business
is
reports
from
our
standing
committees.
We
have
first
the
report
of
the
committee
of
the
whole
presented
by
the
committee
chair
council.
Vice
president
Jenkins
I'll
also
note
that
we've
been
joined
by
Mayor
Frye.
A
H
You
so
much
council
president
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
special.
Thank
you
to
council
vice
president
on
all
your
work,
leading
this
race
and
equity
subcommittee
and
I
want
to
acknowledge
the
the
first
committee
meeting
on
on
Wednesday
as
part
of
the
committee.
The
whole
wanted
to
thank
a
bunch
of
people,
joy,
marsh
Stevens
for
her
ongoing
commitment
to
operationalizing
the
city's
equity
and
inclusion
goals,
and
thank
you
to
our
esteemed
guest
presenters
from
Wednesday
and
dr.
Rose,
brewer
and
Jeff
Hassan
and
Leslie
Badu
for
putting
history
front
and
center
in
this
work.
H
Thank
you
also
to
our
committee
members,
who
will
make
up
the
city's
first.
Racial
equity
community
advisor
advisory
committee,
I'm
really
honored
by
the
two
leaders
who
have
agreed
to
serve
as
mayoral
appointees
as
well:
Erin
Erin
Hilde,
who
is
a
carpenter
with
the
North
Central
States
regional
council
of
carpenters
and
the
people
of
color
union
members
where
he
is
engaged
in
outreach
and
empowerment
for
union
employees,
actually
met
Erin
on
the
north
side
while
door-knocking
and
was
immediately
impressed.
H
The
other
mayoral
appointment
is
Malia
Connelly
who's.
The
director
of
village
trusts
financial
cooperative,
the
only
black
owned
financial
institution
in
the
state,
and
we
look
forward
to
quite
a
bit
of
success
from
her
and
her
organization
also
want
to
note
Shawn
Terra
Hardy,
the
commissioner
who's
done
some
extraordinary
work
as
well
as
Rox
Anderson.
H
As
a
city,
we
often
talk
about
racial
equity,
the
disparities
between
whites
and
people
of
color
in
just
about
every
area.
As
mayor,
it
is
my
expectation
that
we
move
beyond
talk
and
put
these
values
into
a
very
clear
action
in
every
single
department.
In
every
single
decision
we
make
the
level
of
harm
inflicted
on
our
communities
was
very
precise
and
deliberate,
and
we
need
to
make
sure
that
that
that
deliberateness
and
the
precision
is
also
matched
in
our
policies
and
racial
equity
includes
implement
implementing,
affordable
housing
solutions
that
address
legacies
of
injustice.
H
It
includes
policies,
practices
and
programs
that
facilitate
the
full
economic
and
corporation
of
black
and
indigenous
and
immigrant
communities.
This
is
our
work,
and
this
is
our
time
and
it
is
our
responsibility
to
partner
with
residents
with
for-profit
business
and
nonprofit
communities,
to
ensure
that
we
realize
the
full
potential
of
our
city
I
have
a
great
deal
of
appreciation
for
the
work
that
has
already
been
done,
but
also
the
work
that
is
going
to
take
place
again.
Thank
You
counsel,
council
vice
president
for
all
your
work.
G
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
I,
echo
all
of
your
comments
and
sentiments,
and
you
know,
as
we
work
forward
to
move
this
really
challenging
agenda
forward.
I
do
want
to
just
note
that
I
fail
to
mention
the
mayoral
appointment
of
Malia
Connolly
I
want
to
ensure
that
she
is
recognized
and
really
thank
all
of
our
residents
who
have
stepped
forward
to
advise
the
city
as
we
embark
on
this
on
this
journey.
So
thank.
I
For
a
long
time
now,
I
appreciate
the
progress
that
we've
made
in
the
last
couple
years,
but
I
think
this
step
to
actually
create
a
community
advisory
group
to
help
us
some
bring
in
more
expertise
from
the
community
viewpoints
and
perspectives
is
going
to
help
us
enormous
Lee,
I
hope
the
group
gets
going
up
and
running
quickly.
We
have
some
big
decisions
even
coming
up
this
year,
like
our
comprehensive
plan
and
I
think
the
more
eyes
we
can
have.
I
Looking
at
that
and
filtering
it
through
a
racial
equity
lens,
the
better
off
that
we're
all
going
to
be
I
hope
that
our
staff
will
work
with
these
individuals
who
are
going
to
be
volunteering
their
time
and
putting
their
passion
and
energy
towards
this
work
so
and
give
them
help
and
support,
as
they
help
us
shape
a
real
action
plan
that
will
really
make
make
a
difference.
I
think
in
the
city
really
appreciate
the
mayor
being
here
in
making
comments
today
on
this
issue.
I
F
I
A
E
A
J
You,
madam
president,
the
economic
development
and
regulatory
Services
Committee
is
bringing
eight
items
forward
for
approval
this
morning.
Items
1,
2,
3
and
4
have
to
do
with
licenses
item.
5
is
a
low
bid
item
6
or
the
applications
for
our
environmental
fund
round,
including
grants
from
Hennepin
County
the
Met,
Council
and
deed
and
item
number
8
is
our
great
streets.
Business
support
grant
agreements
granting
funding
to
a
number
of
nonprofit
small
business
organizations
in
the
city
with
that
I'll
move
items
1
through
8
for
approval
this
morning.
A
F
F
A
I
You
very
much
Madam
President,
there's
two
items
that
I
will
be
moving
forward
from
the
committee.
The
first
is
a
resolution
authorizing
submission
of
our
2018
end
up
encounter
transitory
development
applications
to
Hennepin
County,
and
the
second
is
passage
of
a
resolution
delegating
authority
to
authorize
and
execute
agreements
for
a
4d
pilot
initiative,
program
and
I
will
move
both
items
and
I
see.
Other
folks
are
ready
to
speak.
I'd
also
like
to
speak
on
item
two.
So
I
don't
know
if
we
want
to
see
if
anybody
wants
to
pull
anything
else
off.
First.
I
This
is
a
pilot
because
we
already
technically
missed
the
deadline
to
get
in
under
the
timeline
for
these
properties
to
be
affected,
but
we
got
permission
to
extend
that
deadline
a
little
bit
so
we're
going
to
try
it
this
year
with
a
limited
number
of
properties
and
we've
set.
The
recommendation
was
to
set
the
limit
at
eight
properties
that
have
at
least
ten
units.
Well
at
the
committee
we
talked
about
that
limit
and
and
approached
the
subject
because,
of
course,
we
know,
there's
lots
of
affordable
units
out
there.
I
That
aren't
duplexes
triplexes
and
for
plexus,
and
I
think
we
made
the
commitment
as
a
committee
that
when
the
pilot
is
done-
and
we
get
the
reports
back
in
august
and
september-
we're
going
to
look
at
how
we
can
expand
this
program.
We're
hoping
that
we'll
see,
there's
a
lot
of
interest
in
it
and
a
second
piece
of
this
that
we
also
want
to
push
out.
There
is
energy
efficiency
programs.
We
also
think
this
is
the
city
now
has
more
resources,
but
also
sort
of
the
utility
companies.
I
So
we
want
to
also
reach
out
to
these
landlords
who
are
providing
affordable
housing
and
let
them
know
and
bring
to
them,
resources
that
would
allow
them
to
lower
their
energy
bills
and
also
us
have
an
impact
on
climate
change.
So
I'll
be
excited
to
hear
the
report
when
it
comes
back
and
I
think
people
should,
if
they,
if
they
care
about
it
and
I,
know
some
people
do
and
want
to
see
it
changed
in
one
way
or
another,
keep
communicating
with
us
because
we're
paying
attention
Thank.
J
Thank
You
Madame
president,
so
I
want
to
just
be
a
little
bit
more
specific
than
councilmember
Gordon
I
had
spent
a
lot
of
time
during
the
campaign
talking
to
property
owners
in
my
ward
and
others
about
trying
to
do
a
four
D
program.
Unfortunately,
the
state
of
Minnesota
certifies
properties
based
on
their
classification,
with
a
deadline
of
March
31st,
and
so
because
of
the
election
and
the
transition,
and
it
took
about
at
least
many
of
you
know
a
month
to
get
everybody
seated
and
on
their
committees
and
set
up.
J
J
Another
condition
was
that
we
would
not
submit
more
than
three
hundred
units
total
or
five
to
seven
actual
applications.
There's
a
process
that
happens
to
certify
your
property
and
they
weren't
thrilled
about
doing
this
at
all.
But
we're
willing
to
do
it
in
a
very
minor
level.
In
order
for
us
to
have
some
data
to
determine
how
we
would
move
forward,
we
had
to
draw
the
line
at
10
units
because
we
did
not
want
five
four
unit
buildings
moving
forward
and
only
have
about
30
units
included.
We
wanted
to
have
as
many
units
as
possible.
J
We
know
as
well
as
most
researchers
know,
that
a
mass
majority
of
affordable
housing
are
in
smaller
units,
and
we
had
a
long
conversation
in
committee
about
this
and
why
we
wanted
to
extend
it
to
units
that
were
much
smaller.
But
we
simply
can't
do
it
right
now,
because
Minnesota
Housing
will
not
allow
it
and,
in
fact,
I
think
we
in
a
way.
We
should
be
grateful.
They
allowed
us
to
do
anything.
J
We
will
hopefully
have
enough
units
signed
up,
but
I
understand,
there's
about
a
hundred
now,
which
is
why
we've
tried
to
put
out
so
much
publicity
about
this
I
will
note
that
the
two
that
are
in
my
ward
are
not
wealthy
landlords,
quite
the
opposite.
There
they
live
in
the
buildings,
they
have
less
than
15
units
and
their
buildings
and
they're
being
pressured
by
the
City
Assessor
under
state
law
to
increase
the
value
of
their
building,
even
though
they
refuse
to
increase
rents.
J
So
there
are
contrary
to
popular
belief
in
the
Lowry
Hill
neighborhood
units
that
are
affordable
to
people
at
60%
or
below
of
the
Metro
wide
meaning
median
income
that
are
naturally
occurring.
But
when
the
Assessor
knocks
on
your
door
and
says
you
shouldn't
be
charging
$800
for
a
one-bedroom,
the
market
will
demand
1500
and
we're
going
to
tax
you
as
if
you
are
getting
1500.
That's
the
reason
why
we're
trying
to
provide
this
incentive
I,
don't
believe
any
of
the
big
landlords
or
big
developers
would
ever
qualify
for
a
program
like
this.
J
This
is
not
a
giveaway
to
developers.
It's
an
acknowledgement
that
small
property
owners
in
between
2
and
a
hundred
units
have
a
problem
keeping
their
units
affordable,
just
based
on
rising
property
taxes,
and
so
we're
gonna
do
this
pilot
program
in
order
to
gain
some
data
and
get
into
the
system.
I'll
note
that
we'll
have
to
have
a
full
program
rolled
out
before
the
end
of
the
year,
because
we'll
be
back
up
against
the
deadline
of
certifying
properties
by
March
31st
of
next
year.
So
there
was
no
intent
to
leave
anyone
out.
J
We
were
just
trying
to
jump
the
gun
and
get
going
in
advance
of
waiting
an
entire
year.
This
is
an
extremely
worthy
effort.
There
has
been
a
lot
of
publicity
and
people
are
calling
and
signing
up
as
councilmember
Gordon's
stated.
We
want
to
make
changes
to,
but
I
don't
think
we
should
do
nothing
now
in
order
to
do
something
fabulous
later,
because
we
can
do
something
now
and
something
fabulous
later,
and
we
will
have
to
do
it
in
fairly
short
order.
J
K
You,
madam
president,
I
just
had
a
question.
I
was
wondering
I'm,
first
of
all,
I'm
excited
about
this.
It's
definitely
addressing
a
need
and
really
being
able
to
create
space
for
folks
to
maintain
naturally
Crooker
occurring,
affordable
housing,
my
more
specifically
as
as
I
was
reviewing
all
of
this.
All
of
the
supporting
documents.
A
That's
an
excellent
question:
council
member
I
I
could
defer
to
the
folks
who've
been
leading
on
this,
or
we
could
just
take
it
as
a
comment
for
what,
as
councilmember
Goodman
described
as
we
formalize
the
process
going
forward.
Just
make
sure
that
that
is
really
baked
into
the
criteria
that
we'll
use
in
the
future
to
recruit
and
select
projects
that
we
would
then
forward
to
the
state.
I,
don't
know
if
any
other
council
members
want
to
chime
in
on
that
too.
G
You,
madam
chair,
it
is
a
very
innovative
and
creative
way
to
help
sustain
a
naturally
occurring,
affordable
housing
in
our
communities.
I
do
encourage
the
committee
to
consider
as
well.
How
do
we
support
tenants
to
increase
their
income
to
be
able
to
afford
the
housing
that
is
available?
It
has
to
be
a
both/and
strategy
in,
in
my
opinion
and
I
hope
that
my
fellow
committee
colleagues
and
committee
members
will
consider
that,
as
we
are
moving
this
program
forward
when,
when
the
research
comes
back
to
us,
thank
you.
Thank.
I
Wanted
to
thank
councilman
Cunningham
for
that
comment.
I!
Don't
really
think
it
was
necessarily
a
priority
and
a
focus
of
the
report
as
we
were.
Rushing
to
get
this
program
running
I
think
that
where
it's
used,
what
did
we
do
for
outreach
because
I
think
there's
easily
if
we're
not
looking
at
it
through
that
kind
of
a
lens,
absolutely
miss
the
importance
of
that
I
think
there
the
weekend.
I
Imagine
there's
the
good
will
and
the
good
intentions
of
all
of
us
here
at
the
city
to
do
the
right
thing,
but
I
think
we
obviously
have
to
be
more
conscious
about
those
decisions.
So
that's
something
I
think
that
I
will
commit
to
you
to
kind
of
keep
my
eye
on
and
the
bird
dogging
it
as
we
developed
and
hopefully
roll
out
a
bigger
program
next
year
and
I.
Think
because
you
even
made
that
comment.
C
I
H
You,
madam
president,
very
very
briefly,
council
member
Goodman
and
thank
you
for
your
work,
highlighted
most
of
the
important
facts.
The
only
additional
one
that
I'll
add
is
that
this
is
obviously
is
already
a
state
program,
the
the
brilliance
of
what
we're
doing
it.
The
city
is
dramatically
expanding
it
previously
at
this
state
in
order
to
become
in
order
to
apply
in
order
to
come
within
the
purview
of
the
4d
program,
there
had
to
be
some
form
of
subsidy,
and
obviously
the
vast
majority
is
a
majority
of
properties
in
Minneapolis
that
are
naturally
occurring.
H
Don't
have
any
subsidy
attached,
I
mean
by
their
very
nature,
they're
naturally
occurring
and
therefore
they
don't
have
subsidy,
and
so
what
this
allows
is
for
the
application
fee
that
the
city
delivers,
which
is
only
ten
bucks
to
be
the
form
of
subsidy
that
allows
them
to
bring
into
the
program
I
think
it's
a
good
one
and
I'm
glad
it's
moving
forward.
Thank.
A
You,
and
you
know,
I'll
just
comment
briefly.
This
is
such
a
huge
issue
in
my
ward
and
I'm
really
really
excited
that.
We've
added
this
to
the
long
list
of
things
that
we
are
doing
in
the
city,
Minneapolis
to
fight
back
against
displacement
of
renters
that
we've
been
seeing.
You
know
increasing
year
by
year.
A
We
just
had
a
another
housing
study
session
yesterday
and
one
of
the
things
that
staff
shared
again
was
even
though
last
term
we
allocated
millions
of
dollars
to
preserve
naturally
occurring
affordable
housing,
because
the
nonprofit
partners
that
we
rely
on
to
purchase
those
buildings
aren't
typically
working
with
buildings
of
this
size
and
scale.
Our
funds
aren't
really
being
allocated
as
quickly
as
like
and
they're,
not
hitting
this
range
of
unit
sized
buildings.
A
So
I'm
really
excited
about
this
I'm,
really
grateful
that
we
were
able
to
quickly
get
a
pilot
going
and,
as
we
learn
more
from
these
things,
I
know
we
expect
staff
to
come
back
to
the
committee,
as
as
the
chair
chair
Gordon,
mentioned,
to
give
us
more
details
about
how
we
will
advertise
this
in
the
future.
How
will
select
buildings?
K
You
president
bender,
the
public
health
environment,
civil
rights
and
engagement
committee
brings
forward
eight
items
this
week.
The
first
is
the
reappointment
of
civil
rights
director
approving
the
appointment
reappointment
of
it
by
the
executive
committee
of
them
horrible
to
the
appointed
position
of
director
of
civil
rights
for
a
two-year
term,
beginning
January,
2nd
2018.
K
Five
is
an
agreement
with
Hennepin
County
to
engage
in
local
collaborative
time,
study
revenue,
enhancement
activities.
Six
is
accepting
a
grant
from
HUD
for
lead
remediation
and
healthy
home
services
in
the
amounts
of
2.9
million
dollars
to
provide
lead
remediation
and
healthy
home
services
for
a
minimum
of
190
homes
that
meet
the
grant
enrollment
criteria
and
then
also
approving
matching
contribution
of
10%
of
the
lead
hazard
control
award
in
the
amount
of
250,000
dollars
within
the
department
budget.
K
A
I
Thank
you
very
much.
I
just
wanted
to
acknowledge
the
significance
of
this
and
it's
actually
pushing
ourselves
pretty
far.
This
is
actually
a
resolution
that
was
still
we
started
working
on
last
year,
so
I
want
to
give
a
tip
of
tip
of
the
hat
to
former
councilmember
fry
now
mayor
and
also
his
staff
Heidi
Ricci.
For
starting
this
ball
rolling.
I
We
decided
back
then,
to
take
some
time
and
send
it
through
our
energy
vision,
advisory
committee
and
also
our
community
environment
and
advisory
committee,
to
get
some
input
on
it,
and
we
were
fortunate
enough
also
to
get
some
input
from
from
outside
and
lots
of
discussion
about
it
and
really
refining
the
ordinance.
Well.
I
think
one
of
the
other
big
benefits
of
taking
some
time
to
wait
to
bring
this
forward
is.
I
We
then
got
the
involvement
of
a
couple
other
council
offices
who
weren't
on
the
council
last
year,
so
I
really
appreciate
that
councilmember
Fletcher
got
involved
and
I
think
they
deserve
a
lot
of
credit.
But
I
also
really
think
that
their
policy,
aides,
Karlee,
Wineman
and
laura
Doorly
really
deserve
a
lot
of
credit
for
helping
work
through
this
and
draft
this
resolution.
I
And
actually,
if
you
look
at
the
resolution,
we're
calling
on
ourselves
and
our
staff,
mostly
I,
suppose
to
actually
develop
an
action
plan
and
there's
a
long
list
of
what's
going
to
go
into
that
plan
to
make
sure
that
we
can
actually
accomplish
this.
And
it's
not
necessarily
going
to
be
easy,
but
I
think
it's
something.
That's
we
do
and
I
think
it's
something
that
we're
actually
building
from
our
climate
action
plan.
To
do.
It's
called
out.
I
That
we've
already
committed
you
trying
to
accomplish
and
recognize
the
importance
of
making
an
impact
on
climate
change,
and
that's
why
this
resolution
makes
total
sense
and
now
I
think
it.
It
also
makes
sense
for
us
to
roll
up
our
sleeves
and
really
deliver
on
the
commitments
that
we
make
in
the
resolution
and
I
look
forward
to
being
part
of
that.
L
You've
been
a
president
I
want
a
second
everything
councilmember
Gordon
I
said
it's
been
an
absolute
pleasure.
I
wanted
to
also
thank
his
staff.
Reverend
Garwood,
for
this
has
just
been
fantastic,
and
the
only
thing
I've
had
is
that
it's
really
important
to
have
this
resolution
come
now
when
we
have
at
a
time
when
federal
and
state
policymakers
are
undermining
our
sustainability
and
resilience
as
a
city,
it's
more
important
that
we
act
locally
to
protect
our
future.
Thank
you.
M
Thank
You
president
bender,
and
thank
you
to
councilmember,
Schrader
and
Gordon
for
your
work
on
this.
This
has
been
a
really
important
piece
of
work
that
we've
been
able
to
achieve
and
I
think
what's
what's
crucial
about
it,
as
councilmember
Gordon
alluded
to
is
that
we
took
the
time
to
really
make
sure
this
is
something
that
we
can
actually
get
done
and
that
we're
really
this
isn't
a
resolution
to
make
us
feel
good.
M
I
think
is
a
huge
opportunity
and
it's
something
that
we're
really
excited
to
dig
in
on
and
take
action
on.
So
thank
you.
Everybody
for
your
support
on
this
Thank
You
councilmember
Cunningham
for
a
really
great
opportunity
in
your
committee
to
present
on
this
and
to
invite
community
and
to
be
part
of
that
process
and
I'm
excited
to
vote
YES
on
this.
A
G
You,
madam
chair
I,
wanted
to
just
come
in
on
item
number
one.
The
reappointment
civil
rights
director
Noma
core
bill
I,
do
want
to
just
acknowledge
that
there
have
been
some
I
think
significant
concern
about
director
corbels
role
on
civil
in
the
Office
of
Civil,
Rights
and
I
believe
that
we
have
received
some
petitions
that
express
that
concern.
G
But
I
want
to
ask
those
who
are
deeply
concerned
about
the
success
of
the
civil
rights
department
that
they
continue
to
work
with
the
council
and
witness
Korbel
to
help
make
that
department
be
the
best
that
it
can
be
and
really
hope
that
they
can
bring
their
their
best
thinking
from
the
community
to
help
us
do
this
work
better.
Thank
you.
A
I,
do
also
want
to
come
in
at
item
number.
One
and
I
want
to
thank
mr.
Korbell
for
her
service
to
the
city
and
her
willingness
to
take
on
a
really
big
job
of
directing
our
department
of
civil
rights.
In
a
time
in
Minneapolis,
where
we've
asked
the
department
to
do
much
more
than
in
the
past
and
under
her
leadership,
the
department
has
caught
up
on
a
significant
backlog
of
complaints.
They
have
implemented
new
procedures
and
policies
that
we
hope
are
working
well
and
if
they
aren't,
we
will
work
to
continue
to
improve
them.
A
They
actually
have
an
entirely
separate
department
in
the
city,
that's
tasked
with
enforcing
them,
but
we're
relying
on
a
lot
of
existing
staff
with
a
couple
of
new
FTEs
that
we
were
able
to
add
a
very
small
budget
allocation
to
the
enforcement
of
major
new
laws,
including
the
earn,
safe
and
sick
time
law,
our
minimum
wage
ordinance
and
in
enhanced
coordination
with
the
state
in
enforcing
wage
theft,
and
so
we're
really
thankful
for
the
department
to
step
up
in
this
way.
They
were
also
critical
and
helping
craft
those
ordinances
and
staffing
our
workplace,
Advisory
Committee.
A
H
H
We
actually
brought
a
case
to
the
civil
rights
department
many
years
ago
through
the
firm
that
I
was
then
working
with,
and
you
know,
there's
every
incentive
to
bring
cases
to
the
civil
rights
department
that
you
can
get
double
and,
in
some
cases,
treble
damages
for
your
client.
But
there
was
a
really
significant
backlog.
I
think
the
backlog
was
in
fact
over
a
hundred
cases
and
mr.
Korbell
has
worked
tirelessly
to
reduce
that
backlog.
Obviously
we're
now
implementing
urn,
sick
and
safe
time
as
well
as
minimum
wage
and
the
enforcement
mechanisms,
are
critical.
H
I
mean
there's
no
faster
way
to
erode
the
trust
and
government
than
to
pass
laws
that
you
can
enforce
and
we
are
enforcing
them
in
a
stringent
and
necessary
way,
and
so
yes,
I
asked
for
your
support
for
mr.
Korbell
I.
Think
she's,
though
the
body
of
work
speaks
for
itself
and
I
do
hear
some
of
the
community
I
do
hear
the
community
concerns.
In
fact,
I
did
vote
against
her
four
years
ago,
but
I
felt
that
the
full
body
of
work
was
necessary
to
move
forward.
A
F
A
Are
12
eyes
that
carries
in
the
report
is
adopted
before
we
move
to
the
next
committee?
I
just
want
to
revisit
the
housing
policy
and
developing
committee
council
vice
president
has
to
step
out
for
a
second
and
was
like
her
vote
to
be
recorded
for
that
committee.
If
there
are
no
objections,
we
can
simply
allow
the
vice
president
to
voice
her
vote
at
this
time.

Thank.
A
H
You,
madam
president,
one
last
time
I
promise
from
the
I'd
like
to
comment
briefly
on
the
reappointment
of
chief
Friedel
from
the
35w
bridge
collapse
in
2011
to
the
north
side
tornado
to
the
explosion.
At
the
Minnehaha
academy,
chief
Friedel
has
he's
been,
there
he's
been
reliable
and
his
commitment
to
public
safety
and
strong
history
for
supporting
our
firefighters
and
their
health
are
are
really
beyond
reproach.
I
mean
under
the
Chiefs
leadership.
The
fire
department
launched
the
emergency
medical
services
pathways
program
to
help
reach
more
young
people,
especially
students
of
color,
and
now
every
can.
H
Every
Cadet
class
now
includes
30
percent
from
the
EMS
pathways
program.
He
launched
that
program
back
in
2014
and
it's
much
stronger.
Today.
The
current
Cadet
class
is
52%
people
of
color
and
15.8%
female.
Another
57
percent
are
veterans,
so
these
are
clear
results
shown
by
the
statistic
and
the
chief
has
really
been
at
the
forefront
every
step
of
the
way,
whether
it's
diversifying
the
the
workforce
or
it's
making
sure
that
our
firefighters
are
safe,
recognizing
the
carcinogens
that
are
left
on
their
clothes
following
a
significant
fire.
H
So
you
know
the
chief
has
been
with
the
department,
since
1979
he's
done
pretty
much
every
single
job
you
can
think
of
from
firefighter
fire
captain
battalion
chief
of
duty
duty,
deputy
chief
and
deputy
chief
of
training
to
assistant
chief
of
operations.
That's
a
mouthful!
It's
a
mouthful
that
is
well
deserved.
I
ask
for
your
support
for
chief
for
you,
Thank.
A
You,
mr.
mayor,
is
there
any
other
comment
on
the
committee
report.
I
will
just
also
briefly
echo
the
mayor's
thanks
to
our
chief
for
all
of
your
service
to
our
city
and
your
willingness
to
continue
to
lead
the
department
forward.
As
the
mayor
said,
you
know.
We
know
that
our
fire
department
is
top-notch
and
responding
to
the
most
terrible
disasters
in
our
community
and
we're
so
thankful
for
your
willingness
to
do
that.
But
we
also
recognize
that
day
in
and
day
out,
you're
responding
to
the
frontlines
of
community
stress
and
issues
of
all
kinds.
A
You
know
you're
the
front
lines
on
our
response
to
our
opioid
crisis.
You
are
there
when
an
elderly
person
is
calling
9-1-1
for
a
health
issue
and
as
we
look
at
our
future
of
our
department,
I
really
have
appreciated
the
way
that
the
chief
is
doing
two
things
really
even
sort
of
above
and
beyond
what
we've
asked.
A
The
first
is
working
to
diversify
our
department,
and
that
can
be
seen
in
all
of
the
statistics,
but
it
can
best
be
seen
when
the
fourth
graders
from
Whittier
Elementary
School
come
down
to
City
Hall
and
are
greeted
with
smiles
and
hugs
and
enthusiasm
from
our
chief.
They
just
light
up
and
you're
inspiring
those
kids.
It
makes
me
emotional
because
those
are
kids
who
deserve
to
be
inspired.
H
Also
wanted
to
note
council
president,
that
today
is
is
all
as
a
little
bit
bittersweet
in
that
we
all
while
we
are
reappointing
our
chief
Friedel,
we're
also
remembering
our
assistant
chief
Renison,
who
did
an
amazing
job
he
passed
about
a
week
ago,
I
believed
the
the
funeral
is
coming
up
early
next
week.
He
was
an
extraordinary
public
servant.
He
contributed
so
much
to
the
community,
both
in
terms
of
public
safety
as
well
as
outreach
similar
to
chief
Friedel.

audit
and
I

approval
of
all
22
items.
M
Thank
You
president
bender
I
just
wanted
to
flag
the
significance
of
item
20
as
sort
of
modeling
the
behavior
that
we
described
in
the
resolution.
This
was
exciting
that
it
came
through
this
cycle,
as
were
passed
in
the
clean
energy
resolution,
to
be
able
to
move
money,
and
this
was
a
cooperative
effort
with
city
staff
between
C,
ped
and
public
health,
to
identify
one
program
that
was
underperforming
and
a
compatible
program
in
another
department
that
had
the
capacity
to
get
a
lot
more
solar
built
with
that
money.
M
And
and
so
we
were
able
to
move
resources
and
staff.
We're
estimating
that
this
is
going
to
generate
an
additional
50
million
kilowatt
hours
of
solar
generation.
So
this
is
a
very
exciting
development
and
I
think
is
a
good
example
of
us
walking
the
walk
as
we
move
forward
and
I
think
it's
very
important
that
we
just
recognize
that
the
resolution
that
we
passed
is
going
to
take
all
of
our
city
staff,
thinking
creatively
about
how
to
move
resources
to
this.

Receiving
and
filing
the
reappointments

three-year

and
ending

Second,
referring
to
the
Ways
and
Means
Committee,
the
reappointment
by
the
executive
committee
of
Christine
Siebert
4c2
for
the
setting
of
a
public
hearing.
C
A
A
You,
vice
president,
has
moved
the
executive
committee
report.
I
will
just
note
on
item
one
that
is
referring
to
the
public
health
environment,
civil
rights,
an
engagement
committee
to
set
the
public
hearing
at
their
next
meeting.
So
the
hearing
for
that
will
happen
in
about
three
weeks
or
so
and
then
is
there
any
discussion
further
on
the
report.
A
G
F
F
A
Carries
in
the
report
is
adopted.
Next,
we
have
the
notice
of
ordinance
introductions.
Today
we
have
two
notices.
One
is
a
notice
by
council
member
Johnson
for
introduction
at
the
neg.
You
look
next
regular
meeting
of
the
City
Council,
the
subject
matter
of
an
ordinance
amending
the
code
related
to
air
pollution,
environmental
protection
amending
prison
provisions
related
to
new
some
nuisance
odor.
A
The
second
is
a
notice
offered
by
councilmember
Warsaw
me
for
an
ordinance
to
amend
the
city
were
late
to
article
9
related
to
debt,
in
increasing
borrowing
limits
for
capital
expenditures
and
permitting
the
combination
of
charter
and
state
authority,
so
there'll
be
a
full
presence
of
this
by
our
finance
department
at
the
next
member
at
the
next
meeting
of
the
Ways
and
Means
Committee.
So
if
anyone
would
like
more
information,
you
can
get
that
from
Cosmo
or
Sami
or
attend
the
reason
needs
committee
meeting,
so
both
of
those
notices
are
given.
A
O
You,
madam
president,
I,
have
a
brief
summary
brief
statement
with
regards
to
this
notice
of
introduction
just
to
update
my
colleagues
since
1973
the
City
bonds
from
any
permissible
infrastructure
and
building
issued
under
the
city
charter
have
been
limited
to
15
million
dollars
per
project.
There
was
no
inflation
in
that
15
million
maximum
approved
45
years
ago,
as
you
could.
As
we're
aware
costs
have
increased
over
the
decades.
The
city
is
reaching
a
point
where
a
new
fire
station
requires
more
than
15
million
dollars.
O
The
city
has
done
many
bond
issues
since
1973
for
more
than
50
million
dollars.
This
has
required
previous
city
council
to
use
state
statute.
That
generally
applies
to
cities
in
Minnesota
or
get
special
legislation
for
a
bond
issue.
For
example,
our
water
planting
Fridley
is
spending
more
than
50
million
that
the
city
is
issuing
bonds
for
under
a
special
law.
I
am
proposing
a
charter
amendment
to
add
an
inflationary
factor
to
the
15
million
limit
to
encourage
more
use
of
the
city's
Charter
for
bond
issues.
O
Bond
issues
under
state
statutes
usually
only
require
the
city
council
to
act
and
to
pass
the
bond
issue
with
a
simple
majority.
A
bond
issue
under
our
city
charter
requires
a
much
higher
bar,
a
supermajority
vote
of
the
council
and
four
out
of
the
six
votes
by
the
board
of
estimated
taxation.
The
approval
of
a
project
under
the
Charter
is
more
transparent
process
which
encourages
more
public
review
and
scrutiny.
I
also
think
it
builds
public
trust
because
we
as
a
council
will
not
be
seen
as
avoiding
a
limit
in
our
own
charter.
O
Another
component
of
the
Charter
change
is
to
allow
a
combination
of
state
statutes
and
charter
bonds
on
those
rare
occasions
where
we
may
be
issuing
debt
for
large
or
multi-year
project
such
a
renewable
energy
project,
an
affordable
housing
development
or
the
City
Hall
renovations.
Again.
This
encourages
the
use
of
the
charter
process,
rather
than
avoiding
it
altogether.
As
you
are
all,
as
you
all
know,
and
may
be
aware,
a
charter
change
requires
many
steps.
I,
look
forward
to
council
input
and
feedback
from
the
Charter
Commission,
as
well
as
the
public.
Thank
you,
Thank.
A
That
brings
us
to
our
resolutions.
We
have
two
resolutions
today.
The
first
is
a
resolution
declaring
May
6
through
May
12th
as
public
service
recognition
week,
and
the
second
is
the
resolution
that
we
heard
earlier,
recognizing
the
leadership
and
vision
of
local
youth
on
the
issue
of
climate
change,
to
have
a
motion
to
adopt
those
resolutions
that
it's
been
moved
and
seconded
all
those
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
any
opposed
those
resolutions
have
been
adopted.
Finally,
we
have
the
order
of
announcements.
Are
there
any
announcements
from
council
members
cast
member
Fletcher.
N
Councillor
Meccano,
yes,
I
just
wanted
to
remind
everyone
and
invite
folks
to
the
May
Day
Parade,
which
is
on
Sunday
December
6
this
year,
Sunday
I'm,
sorry,
May,
6
and
I.
Just
wanted
to
remind
you
all
that
that's
happening
and
folks
are
getting
puppets
ready
and
families,
and
everyone
is
welcome.
Thank.
A
You
anything
else,
I'll
just
note
that,
in
addition
to
assistant
fire
chief
who
we
honored
earlier,
we
had
another
former
staff
member
pass
this
week,
and
that
is
officer
Dee
done
and
she
was
the
first
black
woman
police
officer
in
the
entire
state
of
Minnesota
and
she
served
for
over
29
years
and
she
really
blazed
a
trail
for
a
lot
of
folks
who
followed
her.
So
we
want
to
honor
her
life
as
well,
and
our
condolences
again
go
to
both
of
those
families
anything
further.
Seeing
none
is
there
a
motion
to
adjourn.
