A
E
C
First,
I
think
it's
very
fitting
that
you,
council,
vice
president,
read
the
res
as
you
undoubtedly
or
someone
who
has
been
a
groundbreaker
in
every
sense
as
as
was
our
von
Fraser.
You
know
she
was
a
good
friend
of
mine.
She
was
a
neighbor,
she
lived
just
a
block
or
two
away,
and
she
was
fierce.
I
mean
a
bulldog
in
every
sense
of
the
word
to
to
describe
her
as
the
wife
of
Don
Frazier
does
not
do
her
justice.
C
If
you
know
Don
he's
more
of
an
introvert
he's,
quieter
he'll
hang
out
in
the
corner
and
oftentimes.
You
don't
even
know
that
he
was
there
our
van
you
know
when
she's
entered
the
room,
she
speaks
her
mind
very
freely.
She
articulates
her
point
with
with
poise
and
I.
Remember.
Every
time
we
had
a
controversial
neighborhood
association
meeting.
It
was
always
our
von
that
I
would
call
on.
She
was
an
urbanist.
C
She
was
very
pro-growth
and
density
and
affordable
housing
in
the
middle
and
upper-income
area
in
which
she
lives,
and
you
know
I
remember
vividly
one
of
her.
Favorite
phrases
was
I,
know,
history,
I
am
history,
and
so,
when
people
talk
about
wanting
to
retain
this
run
it
to
retain
a
certain
character,
retain
a
certain
history.
C
She
would
be
the
first
to
remind
that
history
which
should
be
retained
and
that
which
doesn't
need
to
be
anymore,
and
so
you
know,
I,
think
the
this
resolution
or
proclamation
or
resolution
here
I
think
aptly
States
the
her
history
and
her
many
successes,
but
she
was
just
wanted
to
say
that
out
what
a
good
friend
and
neighbor
she
was-
and
it's
funny
I
was
talking
with
her.
It
feels
like
just
a
week
ago
and
she
was
razor-sharp.
C
You
know
walking
around
totally
free
from
any
sort
of
medical
abnormality.
At
least
that
I
saw-
and
you
know,
I
was
actually
concerned
when
I
first
put
out
my
statement
that
it
she
hadn't
actually
died
yet,
and
so,
while
I
was
obviously
at
first
very
saddened
by
the
loss,
I
started
to
think
about
Morin.
You
know
she
was
92
or
93
years
old.
She
lived
a
brilliant
life,
she
was
razor-sharp
until
the
very
end
and
then
she
died
like
immediately
and
I.
Think.
F
A
F
Just
want
to
add
the
mayor's
really
beautiful
comments
that
the
Third
Ward
really
lost.
Someone
special
here
and
one
of
the
great
honors
I
think
of
public
service
is
getting
to
learn
from
and
being
community
with,
the
leaders
who
have
come
before
us
and
with
the
people
who
have
made
the
city
what
it
is
and
and
who
have
developed
the
the
kind
of
analysis
and
community
and
relationships
over
time
the
darvon
had,
and
she
was
very
influential
to
so
many
of
us.
F
There
are
a
lot
of
people
who
sort
of
claim
leadership
in
some
ways,
and-
and
she
was
someone
who,
when
she
said
you
know,
I'm
gonna,
lead
on
this
and
I'm
gonna
tell
people
what
I
think
and
people
really
do
have
looked
to
her
and
and
follow
her
and
and
her
presence
will
will
certainly
be
missed.
So
I
was
very
sorry
to
hear
at
National
Night
Out
that
she
had
passed
and
was
happy
to
be
in
community
with
a
lot
of
people
who
could
go
through
those
feelings
together.
F
A
All
those
in
favor
indicate
by
saying
aye
aye,
any
opposed,
say
no
that
carries
and
this
resolution
has
been
adopted,
so
we
do
have
some
unfinished
business,
which
is
why
we
are
gathered
today
and
we
will
now
return
to
our
regular
order
of
business,
which
is
unfinished
business.
The
only
item
on
our
agenda
today
is
the
proposed
amendment
to
the
city
charter
related
to
the
authority
and
oversight
of
the
Minneapolis
Police
Department.
As
you
are
aware,
this
proposal
was
referred
at
the
last
meeting
to
the
Charter
Commission
for
its
consideration,
as
required
under
state
law.
A
The
Charter
Commission
did
meet
last
evening
and
received
the
proposed
amendment.
The
city
clerk
was
in
attendance
for
that
meeting
and
has
provided
a
brief
summary
because
via
email
last
night
and
I
would
like
to
recognize
the
city
clerk
at
this
time,
I
want
update
on
the
status
of
the
proposed
amendment.
Mr.
B
Karle,
thank
you,
madam
vice
president
council
members.
As
stated,
the
Charter
Commission
did
meet
last
night
in
an
adjourned
session
here
in
this
chamber.
At
that
time
they
received
the
referral
from
this
body
on
the
proposed
charter
amendment
the
action
that
starts
the
clock,
then,
was
the
referral
so
that
piece
began
last
night
the
Charter
Commissioner
state
law
has
up
to
a
maximum
of
150
days
to
consider
the
proposal
referred
to
them.
B
The
Charter
Commission
did
adopt
a
motion
which
creates
a
task
force
composed
of
charter
commissioners
to
examine
that
proposal
to
research,
how
comparable
jurisdictions
have
organized
and
oversee
police
departments.
Among
other
points,
at
a
high
level,
the
Charter
Commission
requested
legal
support
from
the
city
attorney,
including
access
to
the
analysis
that
was
previously
requested
by
this
body
on
several
points
related
to
that
proposed
amendment
and
they
included
a
date
for
final
report
back
from
its
task
force
of
January
2
2019.
B
That's
the
final
day
of
that
150
day
timeline
granted
to
the
Charter
Commission
under
state
law.
I
did
provide
a
copy
of
the
motion
that
was
approved
last
night
from
the
Charter
Commission
at
your
desks.
As
part
of
that
motion
that
a
commission
also
called
for
at
least
three
public
hearings
on
this
proposal,
the
first
of
which
they
intend
to
conduct
as
part
of
their
regular
meeting
next
month
in
September
on
September
5,
starting
at
4:00
p.m.
B
in
this
chamber,
the
other
hearings
will
be
scheduled
in
north
and
south
Minneapolis
on
dates
and
times
and
at
locations
convenient
to
the
public.
As
I
mentioned,
I
did
distribute
copies
of
the
motion
that
passed
the
Charter
Commission
last
night.
As
a
result,
there
is
no
action
required
from
this
body
at
this
point
because
the
matter
is
out
of
your
jurisdiction.
It's
been
referred
to
the
Charter
Commission,
where
it
remains
for
that
up
to
150
day
period,
I'm
happy
to
respond
to
other
questions
that
the
council
happening.
A
B
Charter
Commission
entertained
some
discussion.
They
did
open
the
floor
to
public
comment
at
their
meeting
on
this
proposal.
No
public
comments
were
offered.
Various
individuals
did
offer
their
own
personal
opinions
on
the
proposal
and
I
won't
try
and
speak
for
them.
The
proposal
as
a
whole,
however,
was
taken
under
advisement
and
will
be
referred
to
that
task
force.
The
task
force
is
meeting
right
away
again.
B
The
first
meeting
for
a
public
hearing
will
be
at
its
meeting
in
September
September
5th,
so
we're
about
three
weeks
away
from
when
the
public
will
be
able
to
come
before
the
Charter
Commission
now
and
give
input
on
its
proposal.
So
that's
what
the
Charter
Commission
did
I
would
reiterate.
The
Charter
Commission
did
seek
approval
from
this
body
to
have
access.
They
were
aware.
B
I
had
shared
with
them
that,
at
your
previous
meeting
on
August
3rd,
you
had
directed
the
city
attorney
to
conduct
a
legal
analysis,
the
existing
charter
that
deals
with
oversight
of
the
police
department,
and
so
they
were
asking
for
access
to
the
City,
Attorney's
legal
analysis,
opinion
to
this
body
and
it
as
a
response
that
they
also
had
several
other
points
that
they
wanted
to
look
into
in
research,
and
that
was
contained
in
the
motion.
I
passed
out
at
your
desks,
so
I
do
believe.
B
G
You
very
much
and
if
it's
appropriate
I
would
certainly
be
willing
to
direct
our
city
clerk
in
our
City
Attorney's
Office
to
cooperate
in
the
Charter
Commission,
and
these
endeavors
I
think
I
appreciate
the
thoughtfulness
of
their
staff
direction
and
I
think
it
makes
total
sense
that
we
give
them.
You
know
to,
at
the
reasonable
degree,
the
resources
that
they
need
to
be
able
to
help
and
facilitate
and
complete
their
work,
just
as
we
provide
services
to
the
Charter,
Commission
and
all
their
other
endeavors,
so
staff
directions
appropriate
I
would
move
that.
G
Well,
I,
don't
know
if
I
can
remember
it
exactly.
I
do
know
that
there
is
a
staff
direction
before
us
as
well
to
amend
a
previous
staff
direction.
So
maybe
we
could
work
through
that
as
well.
Okay,
I
was
just
trying
to
respond
to
the
clerk
suggestion
that
we
take
some
action
and
directly
I,
think
the
clerk's
office
and
the
City
Attorney's
office
to
work
with
the
Charter
Commission
to
support
their
efforts
in
the
yeah.
E
D
A
Thank
you,
customers,
straighter.
Are
there
any
other
comment,
questions
see
none.
We
do
have
a
motion
that
has
been
properly
seconded.
All
those
in
favor
of
the
amended
staff
director
indicate
by
saying
aye
any
opposed
the
eyes
have
it
and
the
amendments
that
staff
directive
is
adopted
and
that
completes
all
of
our
business
on
the
printed
agenda
and
before
I
adjourn
I
would
just
ask.
Are
there
any
announcements
from
council
members.
