From YouTube: October 10, 2018 Budget Committee
Description
Minneapolis Budget Committee meeting
A
Good
morning,
I'd
like
to
welcome
you
to
the
regular
meeting
of
our
Budget
Committee
for
today,
October
10th
2018
I'm,
the
chair
of
this
committee.
My
name
is
Lenny
Palmisano
and
with
me
here
at
the
dais
are
councilmembers
Cano
and
Jenkins.
I
do
anticipate
quite
a
few
others
joining
us
as
we
progress
it's
just
been
a
slow
morning
to
get
in
I
think
we
have
a.
We
have
a
pretty
tight
agenda
today
and
our
first
presentation
is
from
the
Health
Department,
with
our
Commissioner,
agression,
music
and
so
I'll.
Just
let
you
get
started.
B
Just
want
to
start
very
briefly
by
telling
you
the
goals
of
our
department,
because
it's
also
the
way
we've
organized
our
work
and
our
and
our
divisions
so
healthy
start
to
life
and
learning.
We
really
focus
on
very
young
children
and
young
families
forming
families.
Secondly,
thriving
youth
and
young
adults
focusing
on
the
well-being
of
adolescents
and
young
adults,
because
we
know
that
if
people
start
out
life
well
in
that
very
early
time
and
then
again
have
reinforcement
in
adolescence,
they
will
have
a
better
trajectory
in
life.
Third
area
is
healthy
weight
and
smoke-free
living.
B
It
looks
at
preventing
chronic
diseases.
Fourth
is
a
healthy
place
to
live.
Knowing
we
spend
a
lot
of
time
in
our
homes.
Looking
at
issues
like
LED
and
asthma,
safe
places
to
eat
swim
and
stay,
that's
making
sure
that
our
vibrant
restaurant
and
entertainment
community
is
is
a
healthy
one,
for
people
to
access
I,
help
the
environment,
thinking
about
a
regulation
but
also
preventative
measure
that
helped
us
move
in
the
right
direction
to
have
a
healthier
environment,
and
then
all
that
rests
on
a
strong
urban
public
health
infrastructure
that
allows
us
to
do
that.
B
Work,
this
is
our
org
chart,
it's
not
exactly
up
to
date.
We
will,
in
that
2019
be
moving
the
research
director
over
to
a
manager
position
following
a
retirement,
and
then
my
deputy
commissioner
of
health,
which
has
been
filled
for
a
few
months,
now,
will
take
on
responsibilities
of
administration
assurance
and
the
research
area.
B
So
I
read
the
paper
this
morning.
I
don't
know
if
you
had
time
to
do
that,
but
our
police
chief
in
there
talked
about
violence
in
the
community
and
the
need
to
call
it
a
public
health
issue
and
I
was
so
heartened
to
hear
him
quoted
as
saying
that
I
know
he's
been
a
supporter
of
our
collaborative
work
and
we
have
been
thinking
about
violence
prevention
as
a
public
health
issue
for
more
than
a
decade.
B
Two
of
the
programs
that
are
followed
within
that
umbrella
are
being
recommended
for
funding
by
the
mayor.
The
first
is
next
step,
and
that
is
a
program,
a
hospital
based
program,
which
has
really
proved
to
be
a
powerful
way
to
stop
the
revolving
door
of
violent
injuries
in
our
hospitals
and
in
our
communities.
B
B
They
have
kind
of
put
some
of
their
own
skin
in
the
game,
so
they
have
some
in-kind
administrative
support.
We've
also
been
able
to
get
some
state
grant
funding
and
we
think
that
having
the
city
as
a
funding
partner
helps
to
pull
all
those
sources
together
and
do
the
good
work
that
is
occurring
through
that
program.
B
The
second
youth
violence,
prevention
area
that
the
mayor
is
recommending
new
funding
for
is
our
group
violence
intervention
program,
and
this
is
a
gun,
violence,
prevention
and
intervention
model
that
focuses
on
group
involved
individuals
or
we
might
think
of
them
as
gangs.
It
brings
the
community
law
enforcement
and
social
services
together
to
address
the
issue
of
gang
and
gun
violence
and
has
shown
to
be
quite
effective.
B
You
can
find
some
of
those
results
in
the
longer
budget
proposal
that
we
sent
to
the
to
the
mayor,
as
well
as
looking
at
some
of
the
results
in
our
results.
Minneapolis
for
the
department,
so
the
mayor's
recommendation
is
three
hundred
and
seventy
thousand
two
thousand
nineteen
300
of
that
is
a
three
hundred
thousand
that
is
ongoing
and
70,000
is
one-time.
This
will
allow
us
to
maintain
our
current
efforts
as
as
a
federal
grant
ends
and
to
do
some
expansion
into
Southside.
C
B
B
B
B
Chair
comes
McConnell;
it
matches
with
this
grant
that
we
have
been
able
to
help
the
hospitals
get
from
the
state,
and
so
it
creates
a
program
that
now
can
be
functional
in
both
hospitals.
North
Memorial
has
chosen
to
start
their
program
through
HCMC,
and
so
it's
really
one
program
that
serves
both
hospitals
and
allows
them
to
have
staff
employed
or
stationed
in
both
hospitals.
C
B
C
So
I
just
want
to
kind
of
put
this
on
people's
radar
that
as
we're
seeing
the
headlines
of
more
violence
happening
in
the
city
and
as
we
received
a
presentation
at
our
Public
Safety
Committee
meeting
the
last
cycle,
I
believe
on
the
gun.
Violence
that's
happening
in
Minneapolis.
This
is
an
area
that
needs
a
lot
more
attention
and
that
needs
a
lot
more
resources,
so
I
just
want
to
flag.
That,
for
folks,
is
that
the
370
won't
be
enough
for
both
North
and
South
Minneapolis
GBI
work.
Thank
you.
A
Councilmember,
bender
and
I
were
just
curious
because
we
have
actively
sought
to
put
more
money
into
the
next
step
program
in
the
past.
I'll
be
at
one
time
money
and
our
understanding
last
year
was
that
it
would
have
some
level
of
roll
out
at
North
Memorial,
even
if
not
full,
but
based
on
the
year
slide.
Does
that
mean
that
it
it's
the
previous
slide,
but
does
that
mean
that
it
has
not
yet
gone
into
North
Memorial?
Oh
man.
D
Thanks,
madam
chair,
that
was
that
was
my
question.
I
know
for
many
years
got
smarter,
Palmisano
and
I,
and
others
worked
to
to
help
bring
those
resources
to
expand
to
North
memorial
I
think
is
I.
Just
I
would
underscore
what
councilmember
Cano
said.
I
have
long
been
a
champion
for
adding
more
resources
to
violence
prevention,
both
through
next
up
and
GBI
and
I.
Think
I
mean
I
would
welcome
proposals
from
any
of
us
to
continue
investing
in
this
work
and
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
the
leadership
of
the
Health
Department
I
know.
D
There's
a
lot
of
balance
to
be
had
with
working
together
with
the
police
department,
which
has
been
the
chief,
is
extraordinarily
supportive
of
a
violence,
prevention,
work
and
our
community
partners,
and
it's
some
of
the
I
think
most
upstream
deep
work
that
we're
doing
as
a
city
in
the
health
department's
approach
to
building
those
community
relationships
is
why
it's
been
so
successful.
So
I
just
wanted
to
offer
my
appreciation.
Thank.
E
You,
madam
chair
I,
apologize
for
being
a
little
bit
late,
but
I
just
wanted
to
really
raise
and
praise
the
work
of
the
Health
Department
in
the
violence
prevention
area.
It's
really
expanded
beyond
youth
violence,
prevention,
as
we've
seen,
and
that's
a
good
thing.
It's
really
growing
expanding
we're,
seeing
content
expertise
really
starting
to
flourish
in
the
violence
prevention
area.
E
So
this
is
a
conversation,
I'm
very
happy
to
take
offline
with
folks
and
talk
more
about
how
we
can
robustly
support
ongoing
the
violence,
prevention,
work
and
institutionalized
it
in
a
way
that
we
see
other
work
institutionalized
in
the
city.
We
don't
want
to
keep
doing
one-time
dollars
when
we
know
that
the
work
is
working.
We
find
ongoing
dollars
for
enforcement
strategies.
I
think
we
should
be
also
looking
at
ongoing
funding
and
investment
in
intervention
and
prevention
as
well.
So
thank
you.
Everybody
for
your
support.
I'm
really
excited
to
hear
that.
E
E
A
B
B
Of
support
and
interest,
so
the
next
item
is
asthma
intervention.
The
CDC
has
identified
this
intervention
as
something
that
they
believe
delivers
a
terrific
return
on
investment
and
is
very
effective.
It
is
something
that
we
have
done
episodically
when
we
could
find
a
little
bit
of
money
in
a
grant
or
something
like
that.
B
B
Next,
mayor's
recommendation
is
one-time
funding
of
$50,000
to
support
implementation
of
the
recommendations
of
the
multi
jurisdictional
task
force
that
was
created
this
year.
We
worked
at
the
mayor's
office
and
talked
about
some
of
the
sort
of
essential
building
blocks
of
creating
a
successful
collaborative
effort,
and
one
is
to
have
a
backbone.
Someone
who
can
convene
meetings,
follow-up,
help,
guide
and
measure
outcomes,
maybe
even
seek
grant
funding,
and
so
we
expect
to
use
this
funding
for
a
consultant
of
some
sort.
Who
would
help
do
that?
B
We
have
also
connected
with
AmeriCorps
and
they
have
identified
a
position
for
us
to
have
which
would
complement
this
person's
this
$50,000
consultant.
We
are
seeking
applicants
for
that
AmeriCorps
position,
but
so
we
hope
that
we
will
have
some
more
rigorous
support
for
the
work.
That's
going
on
related
to
opioids.
As
a
result
of
this
recommendation,.
E
B
The
final
mayor's
recommendation
is
something
that
councilmember
Cunningham
spoke
about
briefly,
and
that
is
the
creation
of
an
office
of
violence
prevention.
This
is
something
that
would
be
consistent
with
the
action
that
you
as
a
council
have
taken
in
changing
the
youth
violence
prevention,
executive
committee
to
an
overall
violence
prevention
committee,
so
that
we
can
think
about
things
that
are
going
across
going
on
across
the
enterprise
from
a
prevention
perspective
and
try
and
pull
them
together
and
align
them.
This
25,000
is
really
just
up
planning
fund
so
that
we
can
think
about.
F
F
Is
there
a
chance
that
this
is
an
area
where
the
county
is
stepping
up
and
we
don't
need
to
be
duplicative
if
they've
hired
a
coordinator
to
sort
of
think
about
multi-jurisdictional
work
around
this,
or
is
there
a
value
in
having
someone
coordinating
sort
of
an
interdisciplinary
way
within
the
city?
In
addition
to
the
position
that
the
county
has
already
created,
Thank.
B
You
mr.
chair
councilmember,
Fletcher
I
think
we're
still
waiting
for
some
of
the
recommendations
from
our
own
multi-jurisdictional
team
to
come
forward,
but
we
in
the
health
department
have
had
a
meeting
with
the
County
coordinator
as
well.
I
think
there
is
a
lot
of
work
to
be
done,
and
so
what's
important
to
do
is
to
find
out
who's,
doing
which
parts
and
then
to
find
out.
B
A
D
B
D
Understand
how
that
looks
going
forward,
and
particularly
with
an
eye
to
the
fact
that
I
know
we
have
staff
time
being
devoted
across
departments,
but
I
know
that,
at
least
in
the
past
the
Health
Department
has
been
primarily
funded
through
grants,
which
probably
come
with
obligations
about
staff.
Time
too.
So
to
the
extent
that
you
could
now
explain
a
bit
of
that
context.
For
us
both
what's
happened
so
far
this
year
and
what
we
might
expect
going
forward
and
then
how
it
might
be
unique.
B
We
have
been
tracking
our
time
and
so
I
believe
that
in
the
first
month
it
was
in
excess
of
eight
thousand
dollars
of
time,
and
we
expect
that
we're.
That's
probably
an
under
report.
I
have
a
team
of
about
12
to
15
people.
We
meet
two
or
three
times
a
week,
in
addition
to
having
separate
meetings
to
be
out
in
the
field
figure
out.
What's
going
on,
coordinate
the
medical
care,
it's
a
fairly
complex
environment
for
communication,
and
so
it
does
take
a
fair
amount
of
time
for
these
individuals
to
do
that,
coordination.
B
B
D
D
Maybe,
madam
chair
just
a
comment:
a
I
think
there's
strong
support
in
the
council,
including
from
self
in
investing
dollars
and
staff
time
in
the
response
to
the
encampment
I
just
want
to
be
cognizant
of,
particularly
as
we
take
action
to
add
family
leave
and,
and
you
know,
and
try
to
become
a
better
employer
that
we
understand
that
adding
more
responsibility
to
staff
without
adding
more
resources
is
really
counter
to
that
value.
And
particularly,
if
we're
looking
at
you
know,
months
or
years
worth
of
additional
responsibilities,
with
no
additional
resources.
D
In
addition
to
this,
or
or
if
it's
just
really,
you
know
reducing
our
expectations
for
the
other
day
to
day
work
during
a
time
where
we're
asking
for
more
of
an
emergency
response,
I
think
that's
another
option,
but
it
feels
very
uncomfortable
to
me
to
continue
to
ask
staff
to
do
more
with
without
more
resources
or
less
of
the
other
responsibilities.
Thank
you
thank.
B
G
Thank
you,
I
didn't
want
to
ask
about
any
of
the
change
items,
but
I
just
wanted
to
ask
a
more
general
question:
I
guess.
In
past
discussions,
we've
talked
about
the
number
of
health
inspectors,
particularly
for
her
food
and
restaurants,
and
I
know
that
we
went
through
a
piece
study.
We
approved
increasing
the
fees
so
that
there'd
be
more
revenue
coming
in
and
I
was
expecting
to
maybe
see
some
increase
in
health
inspectors,
so
we
could
keep
pace
with
all
the
restaurants
out
there
I
noticed
it's
not
in
the
mayor's
recommended
budget.
G
It's
just
something
that
the
dopa
did
you
brought
forward
and
recommended
to
be
in
the
in
the
mayor's
budget.
Do
we
think
we
have
enough
health
inspectors
to
meet
the
needs
in
our
obligations
to
the
state
to
be
the
their
health
inspector
of
our
restaurants
and
our
hotels
and
pools,
because
I,
don't
I
I
just
thought
with
the
increase
in
revenue?
One
of
the
reasons
we
wanted
to
do.
The
fee
study
was
to
make
sure
that
we
were
capturing
enough
to
cover
our
costs
so
that
we
could
do
a
better
job,
keeping
up.
B
Madam
chair
a
councilmember
Gordon
last
year,
the
council
did
identify
funding
for
two
positions:
one
time
funding,
and
so
with
this
budget,
those
positions
will
not
be
able
to
keep
those
positions
so
in
in
essence,
there
will
be
a
cut
of
two
positions
in
19.
We
have
invested
a
fair
amount
in
those
staff.
It
takes
about
six
months
to
get
staff
up
to
speed
because
of
all
of
the
standards
that
are
expected
by
the
State,
Health,
Department
and
Department
of
the
Agriculture.
B
So
it's
it's
not
they're,
not
the
kind
of
positions
where
you
can
just
like,
add
and
subtract
and
not
have
repercussions.
It
takes
quite
a
while
to
get
them
up
to
speed.
But,
like
I
said,
the
recommendation
for
the
mayor
does
not
continue
the
funding
that
occurred
one
time
basis
last
year,
so
it
will
be
a
cut
in
staff
for
us.
G
So,
just
to
refresh
my
own
memory-
and
maybe
everybody
else's
I-
think
I
had
something
to
do
with
that.
One-Time
expenditure
and
I
think
that
while
I
was
making
that
one-time
expenditure,
I
was
very
clear
that
the
intention
was
to
look
at
the
fee
structure
to
see,
if
maybe
we
weren't
recovering
our
costs
enough,
so
that
we
could
go
through
a
process
of
legitimately
increasing
the
fees,
thus
increasing
the
general
funds
kind
of
in
that
general
area
to
prove
for
ourselves
a
week.
G
If
we
could
make
these
ongoing
positions
because
they
certainly
don't
think
it's
a
great
practice
and
I
probably
had
advice
at
the
time
to
do
one-time
funding
for
staff.
So
this
is
a
correction
I
think
maybe
we
could
make
during
the
budget
process,
hopefully
here
in
something
that
I
intend
to
work
on.
What
would
you
say
the
amount
of
money
we
would
need
to
make
sure
we
don't
actually
have
reduction
in
staff
of
these
two
positions?
Are
we
talking
about
a
couple
hundred
thousand
dollars
death?
Madam.
C
You
know
supporting
grassroots
efforts
to
bring
solutions
forward
around
community
safety
or
Community
Safety
beyond
policing,
some
of
the
work
we're
doing
around
commercial
sexual
exploitation
and
really
supporting
the
women
and
connecting
them
to
resources
and
opportunities,
as
well
as
how
we
look
at
employment
programs
and
how
employment
programs
connect
to
the
the
conversation
of
reducing
and
preventing
violence
in
our
neighborhoods
I
do
want
to
share
that.
You
know
I'm
very
excited
to
support
the
work
there
that
councilmember
Cunningham
is
leading
on
this
front
with
the
creation
of
the
office
of
violence,
prevention
and
I.
C
Think
that
that's
opening
up
a
conversation
that
is
much
needed
in
within
our
system
about
how
do
we
better
organize
and
focus
our
resources
so
that
we're
know
we're
not
so
diffused
with
the
work
that
we're
doing
and
how
do
we
better
partner
with
the
recast
dollars,
which,
which
is
a
1
million
dollar
allocation
to
the
city
of
Minneapolis
for
five
years?
I
think
we're
in
our
third
year
or
so
that
to
ensure
that
we're
having
a
collective
impact?
C
Each
time
we
get
a
program
or
an
initiative
in
in
City,
Hall
or
in
city
government,
because
there's
so
many
good
lessons
already
that
many
of
you
as
staff
members
who
have
been
here
much
longer
than
council
members
have
can
share
with
us
to
guide
this
work
and
so
figuring
out.
How
do
we
honor
those
lessons
learned?
C
How
do
we
engage
the
energy
of
the
council
and
how
do
we
help
our
city
staff
work
together
to
have
a
more
focused,
collective
and
impact
approach
that
where
we
can
a
year
from
now,
turn
back
and
say,
look
how
much
those
numbers
have
dropped.
Look,
how
many
community
members
we've
helped
to
support
or
helped
and
supported
to
address
the
issues
of
gun,
violence
and
violence
in
their
communities?
C
I
think
we
all
want
real,
tangible
results,
and
we
certainly
have
a
mayor's
office
who's
more
than
willing
to
work
with
us
on
this
front
and
to
help
us
have
these
conversations.
So
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
that.
For
me,
this
is
a
new
kind
of
conversation
and
I.
Think
it's
really
good
and
I
and
I
think
that
we
can
do
a
lot
with
us
when
we're
looking
at
GBI
when
we're
looking
at
next
step
at
collaborative
safety
strategies
that
recast
a
bill
leaders
where
we
can
really
figure
out.
A
Thank
a
couple
things
I
did
want
to
mention
going
back
to
the
health
inspectors.
I
wanted
to
mention
that
it.
It
appears
that
it's
important
to
note
the
fee
increase
on
health
inspections
only
covers
inflation.
There's
no
additional.
There
isn't
to
do
more
with
that,
given
the
health
inspection
fees.
Is
that
correct.
B
Madam
chair,
my
understanding
of
the
way
that
the
city
handles
fees
is
that
they
go
to
the
general
fund
and
then
you
as
policymakers,
decide
how
to
spend
them.
So
when
we
increase
fees,
it
doesn't
do
anything
to
the
health
department's
budget
or
anybody
else's
budget.
It
goes
to
the
general
fund
and
then
it's
for
policymakers
to
decide
how
to
allocate
it.
Okay,.
A
H
Chair
committee
members,
so
earlier
this
year,
council
did
vote
to
increase
a
number
of
business.
License
fees,
including
health
inspections
for
2019,
the
increase
for
the
health
inspections,
fees
for
food
lodging
and
pools
was
about
2%,
and
so
that
merely
covers
the
inflationary
cost
for
2019.
It
doesn't
sort
of
catch
up
on
the
property
tax
subsidy,
so
there
aren't
necessarily
extra
dollars
in
the
general
fund
to
hire
additional
inspectors.
A
Okay,
that's
hopeful!
Thank
you.
Are
there
any
other
questions
or
comments
about
the
Health
Department
budget
overall
and/or
I
also
want
to
point
out.
They
went
through
a
results.
Conversation
and
I
know
that
the
leadership
of
that
committee
was
involved.
Thank,
You,
councilmember,
Cunningham
I
have
a
few
questions
on
that.
If
there's
time
or
I
can
take
them
offline
council,
member
Cunningham,
you
have
a
question
or
comment.
Yeah.
E
E
B
We've
been
able
to
make
our
food
environment
a
much
safer
food
environment,
and
we
have
prepared
some
graphs
about
that
in
the
past
and
and
will
will
share
that
the
fewer
staff
we
have,
the
more
likely
we
are
to
just
be
inspecting
and
regulating
and
not
doing
the
educational
piece
that
seems
to
have
net
netted.
The
results
that
we
think
are
moving
us
in
the
right
direction.
B
E
While
that
makes
us
theoretically
lose
revenue,
ultimately
we're
moving
our
businesses
in
a
good
direction.
Are
our
businesses
are
healthier?
Are
the
consumers
are
healthier?
Residents
are
healthier,
so
just
really
wanted
to
talk
about
both
the
dollar
and
cents
and
then
also
just
the
public
health
impact
of
it.
Thank
You.
G
Thank
you
very
much.
I
would
also
encourage
people
to
look
at
the
results
on
page
eight,
which
talks
about
environmental,
health
and
I
think
they
did
highlight
some
of
the
differences
in
the
inspections
and
the
programs,
and
you
you
could
you
can
see
that
the
number
of
percentage
of
inspections
that
don't
result
in
high
risk
factors
being
found
is
definitely
increased.
G
Of
course,
results
end
in
2017,
so
we
we
don't
necessarily
have
what's
been
happening
this
year
to
I
also
will
commit
to
digging
a
little
bit
more
into
the
increase
in
the
fees
I
think
not
only
did
we
have
an
overall
increase,
but
I
think
we
looked
at
some
of
the
entities
like
US,
Bank,
Stadium
and
thought
about
I
believe
the
stadium
was
paying
one
fee
to
license
all
the
food
vendors
and
we
realized
well.
This
is
ridiculous.
G
We
go
in
and
we
inspect
all
these
different
vendors
and
they're
paying
the
same
price
for-
and
this
may
be.
This
is
just
rhetorical
for
like
a
food
truck
or
for
a
really
tiny
restaurant,
so
I
think
we've
tried
to
some
other
corrections
in
there
too,
and
maybe
it'll
still
look
like
a
2%
overall
increase
in
the
fees
that
we
collect,
but
that's
just
part
of
what
goes
into
these.
We
all
of
our
inspectors,
I
think
maybe
I'm
wrong
with
some
entity,
but
most
of
them
are
don't
the
fees
don't
cover
all
the
expenses.
G
Were
you
property
taxpayers
out
of
the
general
fund
are
also
contributing
to
all
of
these,
so
I
think
that's
something
to
think
about,
but
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
that,
but
I
really
appreciate
councilmember
Cunningham
bringing
up
what
are
the
other
benefits
that
we
get
out
of
this
and
I
think.
Clearly,
that's
that's
one,
and
there
may
also
be
be
more
I
know.
There's
a
lot
of
pressure.
We
get
from
the
state.
We've
had
some
other
municipalities
who
are
out
of
compliance
with
their
obligations
to
the
state
and
they
don't
do
the
health
inspections
anymore.
G
We
do
and
I
think
it
really
benefits
our
residents
and
if
we
just
look
at
all
the
cultural
sensitivity
and
the
one
on
one
that
we're
able
to
do
with
our
restaurants
and
businesses,
I
think
it
folks
will
agree
that
it
really
pays
off
that
we're
doing
those
inspections
and
so
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
doing
them
right.
Thank.
A
So
I'm
just
curious
because
you
have
made
huge
progress
with
environmental
health
and
you've
been
recognized
nationally.
I'm,
just
curious
and
I
know:
I
see
Patrick
Hanlon
here
in
the
audience.
What's
what's
worked
so
well
here,
and
is
it
something
that
we
can
look
at
other
things
we
want
to
implement
change
in?
Was
it
enforcement
was
education?
Is
there
something
in
particular
that
seems
like
it
that
you
would
want
to
really
highlight
that
has
worked
so
well
with
the
environmental
health
results.
A
B
Eventually,
if
we
help
them,
buy
some
new
equipment
and
then
working
with
collaborators
retired
engineers,
folks
at
the
university
to
really
quantify
the
changes
so
that
we
can
all
see
the
outcome
of
what
we
are
doing,
I
think
we
have
brought
some
of
that
to
work
that
see.
Ped
is
doing
around
so
3d
is
that
it's
4d
or
I'm
off
by
one
number
4d,
where
there's
an
incentive
for
landlords
together,
I
think
a
tax
break,
but
we
have
also
brought
to
them.
Do
you
want
further
savings?
B
E
You
madam
chair
I,
wanted
to
follow
up
on
that.
First
I
would
really
recommend
my
colleagues,
if
you
not
have
not
had
the
opportunity
to
review
the
results.
Health
results.
I
would
strongly
recommend,
because
you
see
some
really
really
great
data
there
about
the
work
that's
constantly
growing
and
the
capacity
is
constantly
growing.
If
you
look
at
page
10
talking
about
Environmental
Services,
which
is
different
than
Environmental
Health,
the
Environmental
Services
on
page
10,
if
you
look
at
the
pollution
reduction,
it's
an
astronaut
like
it
is
an
exponential
growth
in
the
amount
of
pollution
reduction.
B
This
project,
this
way
of
working,
also
has
been
recognized
by
the
National
Association
of
county
and
city
health
officers
as
a
model
practice.
It's
something
that
we're
doing
that's
fairly
unique
in
addition
to
the
green
business
work.
We
are
also
working
with
businesses
to
think
about.
Where
can
we
plant
more
trees?
So
we
can
build
our
our
canopy.
We
are
working
with
the
indigenous
community.
Men,
walk
in
and
Sue
and
folks
gardening
folks
in
south
Minneapolis
to
look
at
a
biochar
which
is
a
chemical
that
holds
carbon
so
as
we
lose
our
ash
trees.
B
Can
we
turn
that
into
this
carbon?
That
will
say
this
biochar
that
will
sequester
the
carbon
rather
than
release
it
into
the
air
and
then
there's
some
evidence
that
it
actually
pulls
more
carbon
into
the
earth
as
well.
So
lots
of
planet
saving
strategies,
if
you
will
that
we're
doing
here
locally
and
it's
important
work
locally,
but
it's
also
sending
example
across
the
country.
A
Advertisement
for
the
results
piece
I
was
taken
by
a
number
of
the
things
in
there
for
performance
measures:
I
guess
it
was
the
environmental
services
piece
that
I
was
looking
to
attribute
to
your
colleague
Patrick
as
well
as
interesting,
to
see
actually
a
decrease
in
compliance
overall
around
our
staple
foods.
Ordinance
and
I'll
ask
these
questions
more
offline
and
then
further
work
on
our
lead,
poisoning
and
Healthy
Homes
initiative,
so
lots
of
stuff
to
see
in
there,
but
for
now
we've
got
to
push
on
ok,
civil
rights.
A
I
Good
morning,
madam
chair
and
committee
members,
my
name
is
Velma
Korbel
I'm,
the
director
in
the
Minneapolis
Department
of
Civil,
Rights
and
I-
do
have
several
members
of
the
department's
leadership
team
with
me
this
morning,
Amana
Jafar
from
the
Office
of
police
conduct,
review,
Brian
Walsh
from
the
labor
standards
enforcement
division,
Cassidy
garden,
ear
from
the
Civil
Rights
Equity
division,
our
newest
member
and
the
silver
eyes
Department.
Our
new
complaint
investigations,
division
director,
Frank,
Reid
and
Shanae
Phillips-
is
the
administrative
analyst
for
the
department
who's
also
here
this
morning.
I
I
This
the
org
chart
is
in
here
self
in
just
a
few
minutes
talking
about
talking
about
that
they're
about
30
employees
represented
by
his
org
chart
and
three
appointed
boards
and
commissions,
and
the
police
conduct
review
panel.
The
staff
in
the
Civil
Rights
Department
can
fluctuate
by
season,
depending
on
the
number
of
law,
clerks
or
step-up
interns
or
urban
scholars.
I
We
have
on
board
in
a
particular
time,
but
the
largest
division
inside
the
Civil
Rights
departments
is
the
contract
compliance
division
that
division
director
is
not
here
this
morning
is
actually
out
with
a
with
a
sick
kid
with
this
weather,
no
wonder,
but
that
division
has
ten
employees
in
it.
So
that's
the
largest.
The
average
is
about
four
employees.
Labor
standards
division
is
smallest
with
an
authorized
complement
of
two.
I
The
change
from
the
mayor's
recommended
budget
this
year,
the
first
one
that
you
see
on
the
screen,
is
a
recommended
increase
of
one
FTE
for
the
labor
standards
enforcement
division.
You
are
you
all
know
that
the
labor
standards
enforcement
division
is
a
fairly
new
division,
is
only
about
a
year
and
a
half
old.
The
first
two
employees
that
were
became
a
part
of
that
division
were
actually
transfers
from
the
city
coordinators
budget
in
2016.
So
this
is
actually
the
first
staff
increase
in
this
program.
I
Change
item
is
for
collaborative
enforcement.
This
is
actually
money
for
a
partnership
with
community-based
organizations
see
tool
to
help
with
organizing
and
outreach
to
workers
in
Minneapolis.
We
have
had
a
very
good
relationship
with
the
tool.
To
date,
the
tool
is
also
a
member
of
the
workplace,
Advisory
Committee.
They
have
been
very
instrumental
in
organizing
workers
around
these
ordinances
and
any
proposed
new
ordinances.
I
I
Last,
this
last
cohort
I
think
was
probably
I,
think
it
was
a
hundred
and
eighteen
scholars,
not
all
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
certainly,
but
we
asked
for
resources
to
pay
the
urban
scholar,
salaries
plus
money
for
a
programming
every
year,
but
we
didn't
take
into
consideration
was
the
number
of
urban
scholars
that
returned
to
the
city
every
year
and
we
do
have
a
policy
in
the
city
of
increase
in
the
wage?
Is
that
a
very
minimal
level
for
returning
urban
scholars
about
90
percent
of
those
cities?
I
Urban
scholars
do
return
year
by
year,
which
we
think
is
a
good
thing,
because
if
we
get
an
urban
scholar
as
freshman
in
college-
and
they
come
back
every
summer
by
the
time
that
urban
scholar
is
done
with
their
work
here
in
the
city,
they
actually
can.
They
have
a
year's
worth
of
work
experience,
so
they
don't
go
into
the
workforce
as
as
a
new
employee,
and
this
is
what
we
set
out
to
do
with
urban
Scholars
Program
from
the
very
beginning.
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
My
question
is
about
labor
Santa's
enforcement,
and
so
there
is
discussion
among
policymakers
and
our
workplace.
Advisory
Committee
around
policy
change
about
wage
theft
and
shifting
more
responsibility
to
the
city
for
enforcement
of
wage
theft.
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
interest
and
support
for
that.
Can
you
speak
to
either
now
or
kind
of
in
between
here
in
the
next
few
months
about
the
resources
that
your
department
would
need
to
be
able
to
enforce
any
new
policies
around
wage
theft.
I
Madam
chair
and
council
president
bender,
the
resources
that
have
been
requested
for
the
standards
division
is
fair.
He
try
to
catch
us
up
to
where
we
are
now.
As
you
know,
this
is
a
this
was
a
new
ordinance.
We
didn't
have
a
whole
lot
of
history
on
what
would
happen
with
regards
to
complaints
come
into
this
division.
We're
learning
some
things
about
it
and
have
learned
some
things
about
it
over
the
year
and
a
half,
and
so
the
complaints
are
increasing,
but
it's
not
just
a
matter
of
the
complaints
increasing.
I
It's
also
a
matter
of
the
monies
that
we
are
able
to
recover
for
the
individuals
who
have
been
the
victim
of
either
sick
and
save
time
or
a
minimum
wage
violation.
There's
some
ongoing
research
and
work
being
done
now
by
the
workplace.
Advisory
Committee,
some
of
you
may
have
talked
to
members
of
the
workplace
advisory
committee
as
they
talk
about
a
wage
theft
policy
that
they'd
like
to
bring
forward
at
the
beginning
of
2019
at
the
latest.
I
So
the
resources
to
do
this
work
is
it's
very
people
centric,
there's
not
a
lot
that
you
can
get
that
technology
can
do
when
you're
talking
about
outreach
and
complaint
handling,
and
so,
if
we
can
gauge
sort
of
the
increase
of
what's
happened
with
sick
and
save
time,
I
expect
them
on
a
wage.
The
F
ordinance
would
be
put
in
place
in
the
city.
There
would
also
be
a
need
for
resources
to
be
able
to
enforce
that
portion
of
the
ordinance.
I
I
would
also
just
point
out
that
the
Civil
Rights
Department
looks
across
the
country
at
other
cities
that
have
enacted
these
municipal
labor
standards
ordinances
and
one
of
the
things
that
we
found
is
that
we
do
this
work
really
efficiently,
with
the
amount
of
staff
that
we
have
and
on
a
per
rep
pro
rata
basis.
Other
cities
are
certainly
putting
more
resources
towards
this
work
as
they
enact
these
new
ordinances,
so
Labor
Standards
division
has
been
very
efficient.
I
D
E
Additionally,
there
was
a
request
for
a
women
and
minority
business
enterprise
procurement
coordinator,
we've
talked
there's
been
a
lot
of
conversations,
I
feel
like
I've
had
with
colleagues
around
talking
about
supplier
diversity
and
how,
with
the
diverse
excuse
me,
the
disparity
study,
how
that
showed
that
the
city
is
really
falling
behind
around
supplier
diversity
and
have
some.
We
have
some
pretty
stark
disparities.
E
So
when
we're
thinking
about
building
community
wealth
in
areas
that
need
it,
the
most
sit
procurement
with
cities
as
an
anchor
institution
is
one
way
to
be
able
to
build
community
wealth,
and
so
we
talk
about
business
owners
of
color,
in
particular,
not
being
able
to
access
the
city
and
city
contracts.
This
person
would
help
facilitate
that
process,
and
so
just
thinking
about
growing
the
capacity
of
what
does
it
look
like
to
operationalize
racial
equity
at
one
cook,
one
component
of
it
is
racial.
E
Excuse
me,
community
wealth,
building
through
utilizing
the
city
as
an
anchor
institution
that
we
are
able
to
procure
and
build
wealth
out
in
the
community.
So
those
are
two
components
that
I
was
just
like
for
my
colleagues
to
take
into
consideration.
As
we
talk
about
racial
equity
and
and
what
that
means,
we
cannot
forget
that
the
civil
rights
department
is
also
a
space
for
us
to
operationalize
that
thank
you.
Thank.
C
We
see
that
it's
taking
61
days
and
so
immediately
when
we
have
that
conversation
at
the
Public
Safety
Committee
I
thought.
Oh,
we
got
to
connect
this
to
the
budget,
so
I'd
love
to
hear
some
of
your
thoughts
or
recommendations
about
how
we
can
address
this
to
support
the
department
to
get
through
these.
C
These
intakes
and
my
understanding
is
that
the
the
demand
for
the
type
of
services
that
the
office
that
your
department
offers
the
community
has
increased
and
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
the
council
is
responding
to
that
demand
and
that
we're
able
to
think
about
how
we're
funding
that
and
so
I
wasn't
sure.
If
there
was
money
on
the
table
now
to
figure
out
how
we
support
that,
if
there's
kind
of
a
plan
or
conversations
that
are
happening,
that
maybe
I
don't
know
about
about
how
we
can
make
sure
we're
supporting
Network.
I
Madam
chair
councilmember
Cano,
you
know
I
leave
the
resource
discussions
to
to
the
committee,
but
I
will
tell
you.
There
are
some
pretty
significant
policy
conditions
that
have
created
the
increase
in
the
staffs
workload.
The
first
you
may
remember,
I,
don't
know
council
member
Gord
may
be
the
only
one
who's
on
the
council.
Who
may
remember
this,
but
back
in
2012,
when
police
conduct
ordinance
was
amended,
there
was
a
requirement
put
on
staff
at
that
time
that
complaints
coming
into
the
office
of
police
conduct
review
would
be
handled
by
a
civilian
investigator
on
request.
I
We
have
found
that
over
the
last
five
and
a
half
years
that
all
of
the
intake
and
most
of
the
investigations
in
office
of
police
conduct
review
are
done
by
the
civilian
investigators.
That's
added
to
the
workload.
We
also
know
that
with
the
new
body,
camera
policy
and
the
focus
on
the
amount
of
time
that
body
cameras
are
on
the
the
investigations
that
are
undertaken
by
the
office
of
police
conduct
review
by
my
staff
has
to
take
into
consideration
the
monitoring
and
the
review
of
all
of
that
body.
I
Camera
tape
as
they're
putting
their
cases
together
and
making
a
determination
on
the
disposition
of
those
cases.
So
there
are
some
pretty.
In
addition,
the
complaint
workload
itself.
The
number
of
complaints
have
increased
the
staff
back
in
2012-2013
or
somewhat
admonished,
because
we
were
not
doing
enough
engagement
and
outreach
with
the
community
to
let
them
know
that
there
was
a
civilian
oversight
mechanism
in
the
city
where
individuals
could
file
complaints.
I
C
Thank
you
for
that
context.
I
appreciate
it
so
I've
forwarded
that
information
to
our
colleagues
and
I'm
hopeful
that
we
can
try
to
figure
out
how
to
address
it
through
the
budget
process,
because
it's
kind
of
a
thing
that
just
came
before
us
at
the
Public
Safety
Committee.
So
we
should
really
dig
in
and
see
what
we
can
do
in
December,
December,
7th.
F
Thank
You
chair,
paula
zahn,
so
there
have
been
some
high-profile
stories
recently
about
labor
violations
on
construction
sites
in
the
Twin,
Cities
and
obviously
Building
Trades
is
one
of
those
industries
that
has
been
a
source
of
really
good
jobs
in
our
community.
So
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
don't
allow
that
to
become
a
trend,
and
so
I
guess
I
want
to
make
sure
that
the
investment
that
we're
making
in
enforcement,
both
through
the
collaborative
enforcement
project
and
the
additional
inspector,
is
going
to
actually
sort
of
address.
F
Report
based
enforcement
right
when
we
hear
from
somebody
we've
been
able
to
follow
up
and
prevail
in
getting
workers
the
wages
that
they're
owed,
which
is
great.
It
also
occurs
to
me
that
as
we,
when
we
go
to
a
job
site,
we
do
we
do
some
people
to
a
job
site
to
see
if
the
plumbing
was
installed
correctly.
The
state
sent
somebody
to
see
if
the
electrical
is
installed
correctly
and
I've
heard
that
in
some
cities
we
send
somebody
to
ask
workers
directly
when's
the
last
time
you
were
paid
all
right.
F
I
I
It's
our
contract,
compliance
division
that
actually
looks
at
whether
or
not
fair
wages
are
being
not
just
fair
wages,
but
wages
in
general
are
being
paid
properly
on
our
construction
on
the
city's
construction
projects,
it
has
been
a
little
bit
of
time
since
the
resources
in
the
contract
compliance
division
have
increased
significantly,
but
that's
another
area
where
the
work
has
increased
and
I.
This
is
the,
but
no.
This
is
just
not
my
favorite
time
of
year.
I
The
budget
development
is
just
not
because
I
I
feel
like
I,
come
here
begging
at
least
once
a
year,
but
the
reality
is
that
every
time
the
city
sells
a
construction
license
to
a
company,
that's
going
to
build
a
public
project
that
creates
work
for
us,
so
we
go
out
and
we
celebrate
that
aspect
of
the
work,
but
there's
a
corresponding
there's
a
component
of
that
work.
When
there's
a
public
project
there.
That
requires
work.
I
Be
done
by
the
contract,
compliance
Department,
the
contract,
compliance
division,
and
so,
as
the
work
increases
and
I'm
I
know,
you're
hearing
this
story
from
every
department
I
know
I'm,
not
the
only
one,
but
but
that's
the
reality
that,
as
the
work
increases
as
you
sell
more
licenses
for
construction
projects,
as
there
are
more
workers
on
these
construction
projects,
the
likelihood
that
some
of
them
are
probably
not
going
to
be
paid.
What
they're
supposed
to
be
paid
is
a
reality.
I
Now
the
contract
compliance
division
has
also
been
very
successful
and
getting
back
wages
that
have
been
lost
by
whatever
nefarious
practices.
Construction
companies
may
be
doing
on
the
job,
but
there's
certainly
a
lot.
We
could
be
a
bit
more
proactive
in
that
and
we
just
don't
have
the
ability
to
send
staff
out
on
the
jobsite
to
do
that.
I
One
of
the
things
that
we
talked
about
at
our
results
conference
this
last
time,
is
how
to
leverage
other
departments
to
help
us
do
that,
but
that
that
it
also
creates
a
need
for
an
injection
of
resources,
because
there's
some
training
and
some
familiarity
and
some
time
that
is
right,
required
to
be
able
to
do
that.
But
there's
one
thing
that
we
did
point
out
in
our
last
results
conference
and
we'll
continue
to
look
at
that
see
how
it
could
be
more
proactive.
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
You
know
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
comment
quickly
here
that
ties
together
some
of
the
threads
I
think
we
heard
and
I
don't
know
this
for
sure,
but
it
seems
to
me
we
should
reflect
on
whether
or
not
the
additional
work
that
we're
asking
staff
to
do
without
additional
resources,
disproportionately
falling
on
women
and
people
of
color
employees
in
the
city
and
just
truly
reflect
on
on
that
dynamic.
A
Don't
want
to
go
too
far
beyond
the
time
here
with
this
one,
but
director
Korbel
in
looking
through
the
results,
presentation
and
I
know
that
there
was
some
healthy
discussion
at
the
results.
Meeting
I
was
curious
about
some
of
these
things
and
I
guess
the
one
that
I'll
I'll
touch
on
and
I
recognize.
This
is
2017
data,
but
the
complaint
investigations
division.
A
It
seems
that
on
it
was
a
performance
measure,
the
case
basis
filed
with
complaint
and
investigation
division
by
year
it
seemed
that
there
were
a
lot
less
cases
filed
in
2017
than
previous
years.
Actually
almost
70
less
than
the
year
before
and
I
was
curious.
What
your
thoughts
were
about
the
about
the
drop
in
cases
filed.
I
Madam
chair
committee
member
says
you're
right.
There
was
healthy
this
discussion
at
the
results
conference
about
that
and
one
of
the
anomalies
here.
Well,
there
are
several
things
but
I'll
talk
about
the
first
in,
in
that
the
the
city
of
Minneapolis
has
a
work
share
agreement
with
the
federal
government
of
the
US
Equal
Employment
Opportunity
Commission,
where
we
have
the
opportunity
to
recover
about
$750
per
case
for
investigating
cases
that
are
jurisdictional
at
both
the
federal
government
level,
but
also
at
the
city
level.
I
One
of
the
things
that
happens
with
that
contract
is
that
staff
over
the
years
has
become
so
fixated
on
meeting
the
federal
contract.
There
are
other
areas
of
the
civil
rights
borders
that
we
are
not
paying
enough
attention
to
and
that
come
that
happens
for
two.
For
two
reasons,
one
is
that
we
have
again
complaint
investigations
is
a
very
labor-intensive
resource-intensive
type
of
type
of
area.
I
The
last
couple
of
years,
one
of
the
things
that
we
talked
about
at
the
results
conference
was
restructuring
that
federal
contract,
so
that
we're
not
so
focused
on
on
that,
but
to
look
at
ways
to
do
better
outreach,
engage,
engage
community
around
the
areas
and
bases
in
the
Civil
Rights
Ordinance,
and
increasing
the
complaints
that
come
in
to
the
city
of
Minneapolis.
So
I
think
we
have
a
I
think
we
have
a
fix
for
that.
I
The
reality
is
we're
just
at
our
desks,
hands
down
doing
complaint
investigations
on
a
reactive
basis
where
we
just
don't
have
the
resources
to
be
out
in
community
letting
people
know
that
we're
here
and
so
we're
gonna,
try
to
spend
time
in
2019
and
beyond,
actually
being
more
in
the
community.
Talking
with
both
thank.
A
J
But
I'm
happy
to
be
here
and
I
will
say.
Madam
chair
and
members
of
the
Budget
Committee
that
this
first
year,
I
actually
followed
the
rules
on
our
PowerPoint
and
did
not
add
any
slides
to
the
PowerPoint
or
including
any
I,
usually
try
to
add
at
least
one
funny
slide.
But
I
followed
the
rules
this
year
and
they
right
and
I'm.
Just
back
from
I
was.
K
J
To
be
a
panelist
at
a
criminal
justice
reform
conference
for
judges
across
the
country,
and
my
panel
was
the
Brooklyn
district
attorney
art
Gonzales
on
the
left
and
Tina
Luongo,
who
is
the
they
have
different
titles
for
them,
but
she's
the
head
of
public
defense
for
the
whole
city
of
New,
York
and
so
I'm,
coming
back
with
all
kinds
of
new
ideas
and
things.
But
it
was
quite
an
honor
to
be
with
them.
Super.
J
I
didn't
I
was
trying
to
follow
the
rules
this
year,
so
who
are
we
and
what?
What
do
we
do?
We,
we
wear
two
hats,
we're
prosecutors.
We
prosecute
all
adult
crime
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis
punishable
by
up
to
a
year
in
jail
all
things
dealing
with
people
under
the
age
of
18
and
then
felony
crime
over
the
age
of
18
as
our
County
Attorney's,
Office
jurisdiction
and
then
on
the
Civil
Division.
We
are
your
law
firm,
so
we
do
all
this,
the
legal
defense.
J
We
got
interest
in
this
I
got
interested
actually
as
one
of
our
prosecutors
who
handled
these
cases
because
they
were
largely
all
young
adults
ages,
18
through
26,
and
she
noted
that
often
this
was
their
first
adult
offense.
So
then
it
raised
the
question
in
my
mind
of
do
we
just
need
better
education
because,
fortunately
or
not,
it
is
lawful
to
carry
a
gun
in
the
state
of
Minnesota.
J
You
just
need
a
permit,
or
was
there
something
else
with
this
group
and
and
so
we
looked
at,
we
went
backwards
in
our
case
history
and
found
out
that,
even
though
we
were
counting
convictions-
and
we
were
counting
how
many
cases
that
the
County
Attorney's
Office
enhanced
to
a
felony,
because
it
is
enhanced
well
offense
and
patting
ourselves
on
the
back-
we
weren't
helping
these
young
men
at
all.
As
a
matter
of
fact,
there
was
a
70
percent
recidivism
rate
and
often
to
more
serious
felonies
and
often
to
violent
felonies.
J
J
We
agreed
to
a
stay
of
adjudication
and
we've
had
almost
40
young
men
go
through
this
program
and
they've
successfully
all
graduated
out
of
phase
one
which
is
82
hours
of
really
intensive
programming
over
three
months
and
are
in
phase
two,
which
is
every
two
weeks
they
touch
base
with
a
mentor
or
in
cooperate
with
the
participate
in
a
group
at
urban
ventures.
A
number
of
them
have
signed
on
for
additional
voluntary
programming.
J
They,
you
know
some
parenting
programming
offered
through
a
Bourbon
venture,
so
they
can
reconnect
with
their
kids.
So
it's
just
the
kind
of
work
if
we
can
address
underlying
needs,
rather
than
just
punishing
and
and
trying
to
serve
the
criminal
justice
system
where
we
can
make
a
real
difference,
and
so
that's
this
to
continue
this
program
forward.
J
E
You,
madam
chair,
thank
you.
City
Attorney
I,
wanted
to
ask
some
more
questions
about
this
particular
program.
First,
the
you
I
feel
like
in
a
recent
presentation.
You
had
mentioned
that
there
was
the
concern
about
the
not
like
a
strong
enough
flow
of
participants
into
the
program,
so
from
just
kind
of
thinking.
Moving
forward
with
this
program
has
there
what
kind
of
considerations
of
other
offenses
could
qualify
for
a
program
like
have
you
identified
other
areas
of
intervention.
J
Madam
chair
and
councilmember
Cunningham,
that's
a
great
question.
We
have
reached
out
to
the
juvenile
division
and
so
that
they're,
16
and
17
year
olds
could
be
referred
to
this
program
because
we
first
started
looking
at
this
people
said:
oh
the
you
know,
there's
a
juvenile
gun
program
just
copy
what
they're
doing,
but
I
met
with
the
representative
from
the
Community
Corrections
Department,
who
actually
designed
that
and
said
this
really
isn't
as
robust
as
it
should
be.
J
It's
not
a
model,
I
would
follow,
and
so
there
has
been
interest
in
that
we've
reached
out
to
the
suburban
prosecutors
to
see
if
there's
interest
in
the
suburbs
of
referring
people,
we've
expanded
somewhat
the
the
kinds
of
cases
instead
of
just
carrying
a
pistol
without
a
permit.
It's
now
all
of
our
gun,
related
offenses
and
Mariona.
There
are
other
things
we're
looking
at
as
well.
L
We
have
talked
about.
Is
there
a
way
to
modify
this
program
for
possibly
first-time
domestic
abusers
because
of
the
programming
they're
offering?
It
would
have
to
be
changed
because
part
of
the
part
of
the
problem
we
have
is
with
misdemeanor
offenses
they're
only
on
probation
for
a
year.
So
we
have
to
make
sure
whatever
program
we
we
impose,
they
can
actually
complete
it.
Knowing
there's
gonna,
be
a
few
bumps
in
the
road
and
often
times
12
months.
L
They
might
benefit
for
something
so
I
think
we're
gonna
explore
that
and
see
if
that's
another
area
and
so
we're
kind
of
trying
to
think
about
other
ways,
because
that
is
a
problem,
because
it's
very
driven
by
the
number
of
cases
and
our
cases
Evan
flow.
Some
weeks
we
get
three
or
four.
We
charge
them
and
they're
all
I
discharged
one
yesterday
and
he's
eligible,
hopefully
he'll
take
it.
L
E
E
L
She's,
our
only
successful
graduate
so
far
all
the
way
through
we
just
referred
another
woman.
Yesterday,
it's
been
interesting,
we
don't
charge
many
women
with
this
offense
we've
charged
I,
think
seven
or
eight,
and
those
are
the
only
two
that
have
taken
it.
We've
offered
it
to
them
all,
but
for
some
reason
they
chose
not
to
participate
and
just
take
the
sentencing
and
so
I
think
that's
an
area
we
can
continue
to
explore
because
we
do
occasionally
charge
young
women.
L
Typically,
we
find
the
gun
is
usually
their
partners
and
they're
covering
for
them
because
they're
facing
more
serious
penalties,
and
so
we
have
to
kind
of
work
through
that
dynamic.
But
but
you
are
correct,
I
think
we
definitely
do
offer
it
to
the
female
defendants.
They
just
don't
seem
as
interested
in
taking
it.
Yeah.
E
It's
actually
masculine
presenting
women
identify
people
of
color
and
that's
something
that
I
have
noticed
in
terms
of
when
I've
worked
with
homeless,
youth,
the
disproportionality
of
black
masculine,
presenting
women
at
youth
link
and
other
homeless
services
spaces,
and
then
just
thinking
about
like
when
how
does
toxic
masculinity
is
show
up
also
for
women
and
how
women
also
perpetuate
that?
Can
a
little
bit
be
erased,
so
I
just
wanted
to
to
name
that
component
of
it
too,
because
you
know
same
sex.
E
J
Madam
chair
and
councilmember
Cunningham,
thank
you
so
much
for
making
that
point,
and
that
is
something
that
we
stressed
with
when
I
was
leaving
the
effort
to
do
the
human
trafficking
grant
that
brought
us
a
new
Shrestha
is
making
sure
that
we're
doing
more
outreach
and
finding
the
cases
involving
LGBTQ,
the
community
and
I
think
in
domestic
violence.
We
need
to
do
a
lot
more
in
that
field,
also
because
we've
just
been
not
seeing
those
cases
and
they
are
there.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
that.
J
J
So
we
can
continue
the
position
through
the
year
and
figure
out
how
to
keep
this
going
forward,
whether
it's
actually
permanently
adding
an
FTE
or
whether
you
know,
as
as
we've
had
vacancies,
we
have
often
moved
positions
around
to
really
fit
the
needs
we
have
now
in
our
office
and
we've
repurpose
existing
FTEs,
and
so
this
gives
us
time
to
figure
that
out
without
having
to
end
this.
This
valuable
position
and
figure
things
out
before
the
2020
budget.
J
E
E
J
L
M
L
We
did
purposely
try
to
find
a
qualified
candidate
that
spoke
one
or
the
other,
and
then
we
found
Karolina
and
she
was
very
fluent
Spanish,
and
that
was
certainly
it's
very
helpful
to
us
and
I
do
think
we
tend
to
have
more
spanish-speaking
victims
out
a
lot
of
the
lower
level
offenses
a
lot
of
our
traffic.
So
it's
very
helpful.
She
just
takes
all
those
cases
she
can
converse
with
them
in
their
own
language.
We
get
much
better
input,
they
get
much
better
understanding,
but
it
would
be.
L
You
know,
awesome
if
we
could
add
a
person
that
was
floating
Somali.
That
would
be
a
great
need.
Those
are
our
two
big
languages,
but
I
think
we're
better
off
having
the
Spanish
speaker,
because
we
have
more
of
those
victims
than
in
that
we
use
our
interpreter
services
very
well
to
help
with
the
others.
Okay,
great.
E
J
J
J
Therapist
because
they
have
a
face
and
a
phone
number,
and
so
we
have
programs
now,
both
in
North
and
South
Minneapolis.
The
police
inspectors
want
us
to
continue
this
forward.
They
find
it
helpful.
We
have
a
special
program
and
little
earthnow
in
the
family
therapists.
There
has
really
good
relationships
within
that
community.
J
We're
doing
we're
continuing
this
year
to
do
listening
sessions
through
the
cultural
Wellness
Center,
and
we
may
reach
out
to
other
providers
and
other
you
know
with
ties
to
some
of
our
other
culturally
specific
communities
to
start
thinking
about
what
alternatives
there
might
be
to
law
enforcement
of
cases
where
you
don't
really
need
a
law
enforcement
response.
What
kind
of
community-based
alternative
are
people
looking
for
and
would
meet
their
needs
in
help
with
there's
a
crisis?
J
We're
having
trouble
controlling
your
your
kid,
for
example,
that
members
of
the
community
may
prefer
that
maybe
a
better
suited
response
and
might
might
help
to
serve
that
that
gap
between
calling
police
for
help
which
people
should
absolutely
but
but
it's
nice
also
to
be
able
to
offer
community-based
alternatives.
So
we're
continuing
to
to
do
that
kind
of
work.
With
listening
sessions
being
set
up
by
cultural,
Wellness,
Center
and
others
next
year,.
D
You
manager,
I
just
wanted
to
know,
I
think
that
this
work
is
is
extremely
important.
Piece
of
our
violence,
prevention
and
I
know
had
many
conversations
with
the
City
Attorney's
Office
Health
Department,
and
the
police
chief
about
the
fact
that
so
many
of
our
perpetrators
of
violence
in
community
have
in
their
records,
going
all
the
way
back
to
their
childhoods.
D
Their
first
interaction
with
police
was
being
a
victim
or
witness
of
violence
in
the
home
as
a
child,
and
this
very
high
correlation
between
experiencing
domestic
violence
in
the
home
as
a
child
and
becoming
violent
in
our
community,
among
all
of
the
other
reasons,
to
want
to
prevent
domestic
violence.
That
is
one
and
so
I
think
this
funding
is
really
important.
D
In
the
past
several
years,
some
of
us
council
members
have
also
been
able
to
add
funding
for
support
services
for
families
who
are
experiencing
violence
in
the
home
and
in
particular,
two
were
three
areas
we
have
funded.
One
is
for
families
or
non-english
speaking
to
receive
counseling
and
support.
Another
is
a
very
unique
program
for
male
perpetrators
of
violence
that
has
very
good
success
rates
in
in
low
rates
of
recidivism
right.
D
Is
that
the
right
way
to
say
that
word
so
the
a
successful
way
to
help
male
perpetrators
of
violence
find
new
tools
and
ways
to
cope,
and
then
the
second
innovative
program,
I
think
is
really
unique
in
the
country
is
for
very
young
children
who
are
experiencing
violence
in
their
home
again,
either
as
a
witness
or
victim
from
ages
from
births
to
I
think
age.
3.
So
I
wanted
to
note
that
just
that's
a
piece
that
we've
been
able
to
find
funding
for
in
the
past.
D
It's
never
been
proposed
in
the
mayor's
budget
since
I've
been
on
the
council,
but
I
wanted
to
note
that
as
a
piece
of
this
work
and
I
know
that
has
gone
through
the
Health
Department
technically
in
the
budget.
But
it's
really
been
a
collaboration
between
these
three
departments
that
are
leading
this
work.
The.
J
E
That
is
one
of
the
biggest
motivators
for
me
around
domestic
violence
work
because
of
the
fact
that
I've
worked
with
young
people
who
are
so
traumatized
by
their
experience,
either
witnessing
or
firsthand
experiencing
violence,
and
when
we
talk
about
domestic
violence.
That
actually
includes,
like
everybody
in
the
house.
So
that's
also
like
parent-child
abuse
is
also
falls
within
domestic
violence
and
if
you
look
at
the
foster
care
system,
I'm
really
deep
in
it
right
now.
E
To
be
able
to
raise
their
children
in
healthier
ways,
and
so
as
we're
looking
at
this
outreach,
really
thinking
about
projecting
our
babies,
I
just
feel
like
a
very
strong,
like
this
has
lifelong
impacts,
the
way
that
it
connects
the
brain.
So
we
as
a
council
that
we
are
looking
long-term,
we're
investing
super
upstream.
This
is
really
an
area
that
we
have
to
be
focusing
on.
Thank
you.
Thank.
J
You
and
that
it
is
just
the
kind
of
understanding
and
beliefs
that
you
show
and
the
support
that
you
have
for
reform
work
that
helps
me
love.
My
job
I
mean
one
of
the
discussion
topics
yesterday
among
the
judges
was
how
about
when
you're,
in
a
jurisdiction
that
does
not
value
reform
and
how
do
you?
How
do
you
do
that?
How
do
you
deal
with
the
blowback,
and
that
is
certainly
not
a
problem
here
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
I'm,
very
proud
to
say,
juvenile
sex
trafficking
victim
shelter
services?
J
This
continues
the
funding.
This
will
be
the
third
year,
I
believe
how,
with
a
little
bit
of
the
funding
needed
to
provide
shelter,
services
and
there's
just
some,
the
link
operates
very
high
quality
program.
There
are
kids
from
Minneapolis
that
are
there,
and
this
just
is
a
little
bit
of
our
city's
commitment
to
helping
these
kids.
So
thank
you
for
my
anticipated
support
of
this
item.
J
D
You,
madam
chair,
just
really
busy
I,
don't
know.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
leadership
in
our
city.
We
are
nationally
recognized
for
the
work
that
you
are
doing
on
reform
and
we
shouldn't
take
for
granted
that
we
have
a
city
attorney
that
is
looking
at
ways.
We
can
support
perpetrators
and
people
who
are
being
arrested
in
our
city
and
looking
and
taking
such
a
careful
look
at
how
we
can
support
people
in
every
aspect
of
their
lives
and
it's
it's
noticed
and
so
very
appreciated.
D
A
I
do
want
to
note
that
after
this
we
do
have
the
youth
Coordinating
Board
that's
supposed
to
come
in
for
the
last
15
minutes
and
oh
and
they're
right
there,
hello,
I,
think
we
can
be
ready
to
transition.
This
is
going
to
be
a
short
one
and
that's
good,
because
there's
a
fire
drill
anticipated
in
about
a
half.
G
M
Well,
I'm
getting
help
which
I
always
by
the
way,
need
technical
help
on
my
slides,
I'll
begin.
If
you
don't
mind,
madam
chairperson
members
of
the
committee,
thank
you
for
inviting
us
here
today
to
talk
about
these
Coordinating
Board
and
our
budget
for
2019
I
thought
I'd
do
a
little
background
on
the
ycb
before
I
talk
about
our
budget
request,
because
many
of
you
are
new
and
you
may
not
know
who
we
are,
why
we're
here
or
why
we
exist
or
anything
else
about
us.
So
let
me
say
first
of
all
that.
M
First
of
all
that
the
youth
Coordinating
Board
has
been
in
Minneapolis
institution
since
1983,
when
Minneapolis
Public,
Schools
Superintendent
Richard
green,
for
whom
Green
school
is
named.
Rota
Mayor,
Don
Fraser,
requesting
that
the
mayor
explore
the
possibility
of
establishing
an
ongoing
collaboration
committee,
Council,
composed
of
policymaking
level
officials
to
look
for
the
best
possible
network
of
services
for
Minneapolis
youth,
mayor
Fraser
took
that
request
seriously
and
at
his
direction
his
staff
created
the
Minneapolis
youth
Coordinating
Board.
The
board
is
the
first
of
its
kind
in
the
United
States.
M
M
M
M
Approximately
62
percent
of
our
children
and
young
people
under
the
age
of
20
are
of
color.
That
stands
in
stark
contrast
to
the
adult
population
in
which
approximately
60%
of
our
residents
are
white
and
30%
are
of
color
3
and
10
of
our
children
and
young
people
live
in
households
with
an
income
below
the
poverty
line.
The
Minneapolis
Public
Schools
reports
that
64%
of
their
students
receive
free
or
reduced-priced
meals.
They
also
report
that
10%
of
their
students
are
homeless
or
highly
mobile
and
24%
are
English
language
learners.
M
What
we
believe
about
our
children
is
this
individually
collectively
and
supported
by
adults.
Our
children
and
young
people
possess
the
skills
and
abilities
to
prepare
themselves
to
lead
and
operate
in
this
community
now
and
into
the
future,
and
we
are
committed
to
making
sure
that
they
can
do
that.
M
We
know
that
stability
and
housing,
food
safety
and
in
positive
adult
support
have
a
significant
impact
on
the
success
of
our
children
and
in
the
last
presentation
you
heard
about
one
area
of
that.
That's
extremely
important
school
activities,
early
childhood
program,
services,
employment,
training
and
internships,
and
an
economic
system
that
works
for
everyone
are
some
of
the
critical
support
systems
that
assist
our
children,
and
we
see
the
greatest
disparities
and
outcomes
for
children
and
youth
of
color
and
those
living
in
poverty.
M
It
is
important,
then,
at
the
ycb
that
we
really
understand
and
learn
about
how
racism
plays
a
significant
role
in
those
disparities,
and
if
we
don't
address
racism
through
the
work
that
we
do,
we
will
continue
to
see
those
disparities
grow.
We'll
have
more
homelessness,
lower
graduation
rates
under
or
unemployment
long-term
poverty
and
violence.
M
We
exist
to
ensure
that
outcomes
and
opportunities
for
children
and
young
people
are
no
longer
that
opportunities
and
outcomes
based
on
race
for
children
and
young
people
are
no
longer
predictable.
We
intend
to
work
ourselves
out
of
a
job
at
the
ycb.
As
a
matter
of
fact,
it's
one
of
our
goals
now
I
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
funds
that
the
city
of
Minneapolis
allocates
to
the
ycb
through
the
Minneapolis
Health
Department.
First
of
all,
we're
grateful
to
you
for
your
support
of
our
downtown
outreach
team.
M
This
youth
engagement
team
has
been
working
for
six
years
on
the
streets.
Previous
to
this,
they
were.
The
youth
are
here:
bus,
circulator
group.
They
work
in
the
summertime
to
give
our
young
people
carrying
a
trusting
adult
to
help
them
navigate
while
downtown
you
may
have
seen
us
also
on
the
north
side
or
at
Henry
high
school.
M
We
also
operate
in
those
places,
but
with
different
funding
in
2007,
the
youth
Coordinating
Board
decided
that
they
needed
to
invest
in
a
formalized
professionally
staffed
organization
which
would
be
able
to
bring
youth
to
the
table
in
the
public
sector.
The
Minneapolis
Youth
Congress
was
born
and
continues
to
be
active
in
Minneapolis.
You
may
have
witnessed
their
testimony
about
tobacco
21
and
rethink
your
drink.
M
They've
also
been
instrumental
in
a
number
of
things,
including
bringing
youth
youth
perspective
to
the
issue
of
sex
trafficking,
and
they
have
been
involved
in
making
sure
that
public
transportation
works
for
all
people
having
tested
the
bus
pass
program.
The
Minneapolis
Public
Schools
uses
now
for
two
years
and
that
program
is
based
on
their
work.
Since
our
instance,
inception
or
500,
young
people
have
participated
in
the
Youth
Congress.
We
are
grateful
to
the
city
for
that
work
to
happen.
M
After-School
activities
have
been
proven
to
increase
math
scores
and
porin
working
class
children
they've
been
shown
to
give
children
the
21st
century
skills
such
as
conflict
resolution,
team,
building
and
communication
skills
which
are
required
in
today's
workplace.
They
also
help
working
parents
and
keep
our
youngest
citizens
safe.
Yet
we
are
seeing
drastic
cuts
in
funding
for
after-school
programming
in
Minneapolis
and
across
the
state.
Funding
has
plummeted
in
Minneapolis
from
approximately
37
million
dollars
to
in
2010
to
less
than
five
million
in
2017,
and
we
expect
that
to
be
cut
in
half
over
the
next
year.
M
We
are
grateful
that,
with
funding
of
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
we
were
able
to
support
three
after-school
programs:
the
teen
tech
center,
supported
by
Hennepin
County
Libraries,
the
Minneapolis
community
and
a
programs
at
Minneapolis,
Community,
Education,
and
also
the
youth
line
of
the
Minneapolis
parks,
so
that
they
can
show
serve
children.
All
of
those
programs
who
might
not
otherwise
be
served.
Our
friend
John
outlaw,
is
here
from
the
parks
they
saw.
John
come
in
from
youth
life.
M
Furthermore,
family
friend
and
neighbor
providers
care
for
approximately
70%
of
our
children
every
day.
We're
aware
of
that,
many
of
these
children
are
from
families
who
have
endured
long
term
poverty,
they're
immigrants,
they're
refugees
and
their
parents
often
work
evenings
and
weekends
times
when
childcare
centers
are
not
open.
While
we
know
that
these
children
are
safe
and
well
tended
in
those
family
friend
and
neighbor
program,
we
also
know
that,
for
a
variety
of
reasons,
they
may
not
have
access
to
the
same
resources
as
children
who
are
cared
for
in
early
childhood
centers.
M
This
frequently
leaves
them
behind
when
they
start
in
school
I'm.
Happy
to
let
you
know
that
the
pritzker
Foundation
has
awarded
the
ycb
a
two-year
fellowship
to
build
a
framework
specifically
for
those
providers
who
work
with
70%
of
our
children.
The
National
League
of
Cities
has
also
put
forward
some
money
for
us.
In
fact,
today,
I'm
meeting
with
National
League
of
Cities
for
lunch
to
talk
about
our
program
and
our
update,
but
we're
thought
of
as
a
national
model
and
working
on
family
friend
and
neighbor
care.
M
Over
the
past
few
years,
the
city
has
invested
55
thousand
dollars
in
the
development
of
this
strategy,
though
ICV
hasn't
made
good
use
of
this
fund
these
funds,
and
we
stand
ready
to
move
forward
to
the
next
steps.
As
the
ycb
board
has
become
more
and
more
educated
about
the
value
of
children
savings
accounts,
they
have
become
more
and
more
supportive
of
us
moving
forward
as
well.
M
M
Things
have
changed
a
little
bit
since
then.
We
are
happy
to
welcome
to
Kayla
Ferg,
who
is
here
with
us
today,
as
our
AmeriCorps
VISTA
staff
member,
to
coordinate
the
plan
in
March
and
April.
You
will
be
asked
to
participate
with
us
as
we
coordinate
13
Ward
meetings
facilitated
by
the
Minneapolis
Youth
Congress,
to
gather
information
from
young
people
about
their
hopes
and
dreams
for
Minneapolis.
M
M
We've
got
to
start
a
revolution
right
here
in
downtown
and
in
the
neighborhoods
of
Minneapolis.
We're
watching
too
many
youngsters
in
our
community
growing
up
in
the
inadequate,
nurturing
no
positive
role
models,
lack
of
basic
skills,
low
self-esteem
and
evil,
even
lower
expectations
for
what
they
can
do
in
the
world.
We're
going
to
foment
the
revolution
in
a
reasoned
way
being
able
to
demonstrate
a
measurable
change
through
the
20
years,
which
it
takes
a
generation
to
grow
up,
I
hope
we
can
keep
doing
the
revolution
and
I
hope
we
can
step
it
up
a
bit.
A
E
E
This
is
a
huge
issue
that
we're
gonna
be
facing,
and
this
is
going
to
be
an
increasing
issue
in
the
federal
2019
budget.
I
do
believe
it
is
that
the
21st
century
Community
Learning
Center's,
are
actually
cut
entirely,
and
so
that
has
been
the
main
source
of
funding
and
so
that
that's
a
really
big
issue
that,
where
we're
going
to
be
facing,
and
additionally
just
briefly,
could
you
talk
about
some
of
the
positive
outcomes
from
what
we've
seen
with
children
savings
accounts
in
other
cities,
yeah.
M
Another
outcome
that
we've
seen
more
and
more
throughout
the
country
is
that
these
children's
savings
accounts
are
way
for
the
community
to
invest
in
children
in
pretty
simple
ways,
sometimes
there's
a
place
where
their
local
grocer
has
a
card
that
you
can
put
money
into
that
card
for
your
child
or
other
children.
If
you
don't
need
to
do
that,
I
think.
For
me,
as
a
mom
I
would
say,
one
of
the
biggest
outcomes
is
the
data
that
we're
beginning
to
see
on
the
parents,
sense
of
hopefulness
and
expectation
for
their
child.
M
The
earlier
we
give
a
children's
savings
account
to
a
child,
the
quicker
the
parent
feels
hopeful
and
excited
about
their
child's
future,
and
the
data
shows
that
within
a
year
those
parents
who
receive
that
savings
call
their
children
who
do
their
hopefulness
goes
up
and
in
comparable
surveys
the
parents
hopelessness
goes
up.
Hopefulness
goes
down,
so
it
is
created
as
a
way
to
help
build
wealth
in
communities
where
there's
not
wealth.
M
M
That's
just
come
out
about
children's
savings
accounts
and
it's
an
amazing,
tiny
strategy,
tiny
that
we
can
do
for
our
smallest
citizens
to
help
them
be
prepared
and
ready
to
move
forward
into
the
future
and
when
I
first
heard
about
it,
I
have
to
tell
you
honestly
I
thought:
how
is
that
going
to
make
any
difference,
but
I've
seen
the
data
I've
seen
the
families
seeing
the
programs?
It's
absolutely
incredible
and
it's
something
as
a
city
I
hope
we
can
find
a
way
to
continue
doing
soon,
rather
than
later.
J
A
K
My
speaker
management
is
not
working
for
some
reason,
but
thank
you,
madam
chair
and
I
just
wanted
to
comment
that
st.
Paul
is
actually
enacting
this
program,
and
you
know
in
words
of
keeping
up
with
the
Joneses
I
think
we
have
to
give
the
young
people
of
the
city
of
Minneapolis
the
same
opportunity
to
them.
So
I
won't
be
looking
for
ways
to
support
children.
Savings
accounts
as
well.
Thank.
