of
city

This

the
agenda
have

members
and

A
A
It's
been
moved
and
seconded
to
adopt
the
agenda
as
printed
those
in
favor
of
the
motion
say
aye,
those
opposed
say
no,
the
eyes
have
it.
The
agenda
has
been
adopted.
Members.
The
first
item
of
business
is
the
election
of
officers
of
this
body,
beginning
with
the
position
of
president
in
terms
of
procedure.
I
intend
to
administer
the
election
for
all
four
officers.
We
will
begin
by
opening
the
floor
for
nominations.
After
all,
nominations
have
been
made.
We
will
proceed
to
take
the
vote
by
roll
call.
A
We
will
take
a
separate
vote
on
each
position
in
the
order
reflected
on
the
agenda.
Once
the
election
of
all
four
officers
has
been
completed,
we
will
briefly
pause
the
proceedings
to
seat
the
new
officers
before
taking
up
the
remainder
of
the
agenda.
So
to
recap,
I
will
first
open
the
floor
for
nominations
for
the
office
of
President.
Once
those
off
nominations
have
closed,
we
will
take
the
vote.
Voting
will
be
done
in
the
order
in
which
nominations
are
made.
The
clerk
will
call
the
roll
in
numerical
order
by
ward.
That's
the
process.
A
We
will
follow
for
all
four
of
the
officer
positions
on
the
agenda
and
once
all
four
positions
have
been
elected,
we
will
briefly
recess
the
meeting
so
that
staff
can
reset
all
of
the
officers
at
the
dais
and
then
we
will
proceed
to
the
rest
of
the
business
on
the
adopted
agenda
with
that.
The
first
office
is
the
president
and
without
objection,
I
will
open
the
floor
to
nominations.
Are
there
any
nominations
for
the
office
of
president?
Mr.
A
A
C
C
A
A
Council
member
jenkins,
representing
ward
8,
has
been
nominated
to
the
position
of
vice-president.
Are
there
further
nominations,
seeing
no
further
nominations?
The
period
for
nominations
is
closed.
The
members
will
proceed
to
a
vote
on
the
motion
to
elect
Andrea
Jenkins
representing
Ward
8
to
the
office
of
council
president.
The
clerk
will
call
the
roll.
F
B
E
Chair
if
I
may
yes,
I
would
like
to
thank
my
colleagues
deeply.
So
much
for
the
honor
of
electing
me.
Our
president
I
wondered
I
will
be
speaking
later
in
the
meeting,
because
I
didn't
speak
this
morning.
I
wondered
if
we
might
pause
for
a
moment
and
see
if
councilmember
Jenkins
would
like
to
speak
in
this
moment
here
this
historic
moment
of
being
elected,
the
vice
president
of
the
City
Council.
C
C
As
many
of
you
know,
I
worked
in
City
Hall
for
two
previous
City
Council
members
who
both
held
the
position
of
vice-president
and
I'd
like
to
just
acknowledge
council,
member
Elizabeth,
Clinton
and
former
councilmember
Robert
Liljegren
today
and
I
believe
that
this
this
responsibility
falls
in
line
with
the
work
that
the
eighth
Ward
has
been
doing
for
many
many
many
years
and
so
I'm
deeply
honored
and
really
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
serve
the
council
and
the
city
and
my
ward,
the
eighth
ward
in
this
capacity.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
A
Councilmember
Andrew
Johnson,
representing
Ward
12,
has
been
elected.
Oryx
has
been
nominated
to
the
position
of
majority
leader.
Are
there
further
nominations,
seeing
no
further
nominations.
The
period
is
closed
for
further
nominations.
In
the
vote
we
taken
on
a
motion
to
elect
Andrew
Johnson,
a
council
member
representing
Ward
12
to
the
office
of
Majority
Leader.
The
clerk
will
call
the
roll
councilmember.
C
G
Just
wanted
to
thank
everyone
who
is
here
today,
especially
my
family,
my
colleagues,
all
the
city
staff
I,
look
forward
to
working
on
behalf
of
our
council
over
these
next
four
years,
I'm
just
so
excited
to
get
to
work
with
all
of
you
and
to
work
on
behalf
of
the
people
of
Minneapolis.
It's
a
great
honor.
Thank
you.
A
A
A
H
D
H
Would
you
like
to
make
comments?
Well,
I
would
like
to
come
in
a
little
bit
and
not
necessarily
so
much
about
being
minority
leader,
which
is
a
great
opportunity
and
privilege
and
I
really
appreciate
it,
but
I
just
before
we
move
into
the
next
phase
of
the
the
meeting
where
we'll
have
the
new
president
as
chair
just
to
kind
of
acknowledge
a
little
bit
about
the
whole
process.
I
think
that
as
a
new
council
figuring
out
the
organization
and
president
and
the
vice-president
is
one
of
the
most
difficult
tasks.
H
It's
one
that
we
are
pretty
much
left
on
our
own
to
figure
out.
We
don't
necessarily
have
staff
there
helping
and
working
there's
no
process.
We
don't
have
a
big
public
hearing
about
it
and
it's
always
challenged.
I
can
I
can
say
always
I
guess
since
I've
been
here
a
few
more
terms
and
most
of
the
rest
of
you,
but
it's
always
difficult
and
it
always
takes
energy
and
it
takes
work
and
I
the
process.
This
time,
I
think
has
been
it's.
H
It's
very
significant
that
we
have
a
unanimous
group
together
today
and
it
didn't
just
happen.
It's
more
significant
because
it
took
work
and
it
took
work
of
all
of
us.
We
had
to
get
to
know
one
another.
We
had
to
sit
down
and
talk.
We
had
to
think
about
one
another.
We
actually
had
to
care
about
one
another
about.
What
are
you
interested
in?
What's
going
to
make
you
feel
like
you
can
do
your
work
here?
What
commitments
do
you
have
dear
constituents
and
I?
H
There
were
times
along
the
way,
and
always
when
this
happens
it
it
feels
like
there
might
be
roadblocks.
Is
there
going
to
be
too
much
conflict?
Are
we
really
going
to
get
along
and
I
think
the
fact
that
we
have
come
to
a
conclusion
that
we
have
today
demonstrates
that
we
were
all
very
interested
in
one
another
more
than
that,
we're
very
interested
in
making
sure
that
we
have
a
city
that
works
well
for
the
people
of
Minneapolis
and
I.
H
H
We
have
a
lot
more
work
to
do,
but
I
think
it
bodes
well
that
we've
taken
this
effort
to
get
to
this
point
now
and
I
really
appreciate
it,
and
I
really
want
to
commend
everybody
who
is
interested
in
being
president
I,
also
on
a
command
councilmember
bender
for
working
hard
to
to
listen
to
everybody,
to
bring
people
together.
That
I
think
there's.
A
Now,
council,
members
and
guests,
if
I,
can
ask
for
your
indulgence,
we'll
take
a
very
brief
recess
to
reset
the
diet,
so
that
we
can
ask
the
president
vice
president
majority
leader
to
assume
their
seats
and
the
clerk's
will
receipt.
The
remainder
of
the
counsel
number
so
we'll
take
just
a
brief
five-minute
recess,
as
we
see
to
the
Dyess,
and
then
we
will
return
to
conduct
the
business
remaining
on
the
agenda.
I.
B
E
Call
or
meeting
back
to
order.
Thank
you
as
you
all
take
your
seats.
I
just
want
to
express
again
so
much
to
my
colleagues
how
grateful
I
am
for
the
incredible
honor
of
being
elected,
your
president
and
it's
something
I
accept
humbly
I
did
not
speak
this
morning,
and
so
I
I'm
going
to
take
a
moment
here
and
just
give
some
remarks
about
this
incredible
moment
in
our
city.
E
E
Mayor
Frey
as
well.
We
are
all
looking
forward
to
working
with
you
a
very
exciting
moment
here.
I
also
wanted
to
thank
the
clerk
mr.
Carl
and
your
staff.
You
have
put
in
so
much
effort
to
making
today
an
incredible
experience
for
all
of
us
and
our
families
and
friends,
and
we
appreciate
it-
you've
been
working
nights
and
weekends,
and
we
literally
couldn't
do
this
without
you.
E
Thank
you
and
thanks
for
everyone
who
came
here
today,
who's
taking
the
time
out
of
your
day
to
be
here
with
us
and
support
us
each
one
of
us
has
a
web
of
people
behind
us
who
give
us
the
support.
We
need
to
do
this
job
and-
and
you
helped
us
serve
our
city
well,
and
we
couldn't
do
it
without
you.
Either
this
year
has
been
a
mix
of
such
highs
and
lows.
E
I
was
looking
out
in
the
audience
at
my
two
little
girls,
as
we
gave
the
Pledge
of
Allegiance
and
struck
me
that
we
have
a
president
who
isn't
living
the
values
that
I'm
teaching
my
children
that
are
not
reflected
in
what
we
saw.
The
beautiful
expression
of
our
cultural
communities
of
Minneapolis,
we
have
a
president
who's,
literally
attacking
attacking
members
of
our
community
who's
stripping
away
hard
fought,
fought,
hard
fought
protections
and
who's
tweeting
about
nuclear
war.
E
That's
our
reality
right
now,
but
we
are
also
in
such
an
incredible
time.
In
our
city
an
historic
moment,
our
city
is
growing,
and
this
year
brought
historic
elections
and
the
most
diverse
City
Council
in
our
city's
history.
Together
we
ran
campaigns
on
a
shared
vision
for
an
open
and
welcoming
Minneapolis.
E
Collectively
we
have
a
vision
for
our
city
that
centers
race
equity,
but
helps
housing,
displacement
reforms,
our
approach
to
public
safety
and
fights
environmental
injustice
and
climate
change,
our
common
values.
This
shared
vision
for
Minneapolis
is
what
makes
this
diverse
and
talented
group
of
leaders
so
important
right
now,
in
a
time
where
our
federal
and
state
government
are
either
gridlocked
or
rolling
back
protections
and
decades
of
hard
work,
it
is
cities
like
Minneapolis
that
are
leading
the
way,
and
it
is
all
of
you
who
are
leading
us
forward.
E
We
got
so
much
done
together.
Last
term
we
passed
an
urn,
safe
and
sick
time
law
and
a
$15
minimum
wage
to
support
working
families
in
our
city
we
rolled
out
a
clean
energy
partnership,
adopted
green
zones
and
a
zero
waste
plan.
We
established
a
small
business
office
and
removed
barriers
to
economic
development.
E
We
began
the
important
work
of
changing
our
approach
to
public
safety
amidst
the
most
painful
times
the
deaths
of
Jamar
and
Justine,
and
we've
brought.
We
began
the
hard
work
of
transformative
change
necessary
to
support,
affordable
housing
as
a
right
for
all.
Each
of
you
will
play
a
huge
role
in
moving
this
work
forward,
this
term
and
I'm,
proud
of
the
structure
that
we
put
together
together,
councilmember
Goodman.
Thank
you
for
your
leadership.
As
the
longest-serving
member
of
this
body,
you
have
been
an
important
mentor
to
me.
You
will
be
for
all
of
us.
E
Your
leadership
has
touched
so
many
issues
over
the
decades
you've
been
here,
but
a
particularly
unaffordable
housing
and
we
know
you'll,
be
an
important
support
for
all
of
us
and
as
an
important
source
of
leadership.
This
term
councilmembers,
Gordon
and
Reich.
You
are
the
only
other
members
of
this
body.
Who've
served
more
than
one
term.
E
We've
always
relied
on
your
leadership
on
transportation
and
energy
in
the
environment.
A
lot
of
it's
behind
the
seams
you've
both
stepped
up
in
huge
ways
to
lead
this
term,
and
we
are
very
thankful
council
members
were
Sami
and
Cano
Johnson
and
Palmisano.
We
came
in
together
last
term.
It
was
a
busy
and
tough
term,
and
it
was
a
time
when
the
role
of
councilmember
has
been
changing.
Now
that
we're
back
we're
ready
for
more,
and
each
of
you
has
become
such
an
important
leader,
not
only
in
your
own
Ward
but
in
the
city.
E
You've
stepped
up
to
lead
this
term
and
I
can't
wait
to
see
your
leadership
Lawson
councilmembers,
Cunningham,
Alison,
Fletcher
and
Schrader.
You
are
some
of
the
hardest-working
most
dedicated
and
exciting
group
of
leaders.
I've
ever
seen,
I'm
committed
to
supporting
each
of
you
in
achieving
the
clear
agendas
you've
set
for
yourself,
and
you
are
so
strongly
committed
to
your
values,
you're
holding
me
and
all
of
us
accountable,
and
for
that
I
am
so
grateful
that
you
are
here.
E
Councilmember
Jenkins:
this
is
such
an
historico
moment
in
Minneapolis.
Your
leadership
here
and
across
the
country
is
so
important.
It's
an
honor
to
have
you
as
my
partner
as
council.
Vice
president
I
look
forward
to
championing
your
leadership
as
we
tackle
the
country's
largest
race,
equity
gaps
and,
finally,
mayor
Frey
we're
going
to
be
a
great
team.
You
know
there's
13
of
us
here
and
I,
don't
even
know
all
of
us
are
gonna,
be
able
to
keep
up
with
you.
E
E
The
work
ahead
is
no
easy
task.
I'm,
the
successor
to
the
longest-serving
city
council
president
in
our
city's
history,
they're
big
shoes
to
fill
and
I
want
our
community
to
know
to
anyone
who
worked
with
council
President
Johnson
over
the
past
12
years.
My
door
is
open,
so
the
business
community
to
neighborhood
leaders,
community
advocates
elected
officials
and
residents
of
Minneapolis.
We
all
need
to
work
together
to
bring
about
this
change
that
our
city
wants
to
see
and
to
anyone
who
didn't
even
know.
We
have
a
council
president.
It's
a
lot
of
people,
I.
E
Think
too
many
people
who
are
just
ready
to
get
involved
in
local
government.
For
the
first
time
my
door
is
open
to
you.
Together
we
will
create
more
ways
for
people
to
our
work.
Voter
turnout
was
up
over
30%
this
election.
There
are
so
many
people
getting
involved
and
everyone
who
got
involved
in
a
campaign.
We
need
you
more
now.
We
need
you
to
hold
us
accountable
and
to
help
us
govern
with
integrity.
We
are
gonna,
get
creative
about
making
sure
all
of
your
voices
are
heard.
This
is
your
government.
E
We
work
for
you,
you
inspire
us,
you
motivate
us.
You
support
us
and
you
hold
us
accountable
when
I
spoke
to
each
of
my
colleagues
to
each
of
you
about
what
kind
of
leadership
you
wanted
to
see.
This
term
use
that
loud
and
clear
that
you
want
this
body
of
elected
leaders
to
be
unified,
and
you
have
my
commitment
to
do
everything.
E
I
can
to
keep
us
moving
forward
and
alignment
toward
our
shared
goals,
but,
let's
be
clear,
unity
doesn't
mean
we
will
always
agree
with
so
many
big
issues
facing
our
city
with
each
of
us
representing
unique
wards
and
communities.
We
are
almost
certainly
going
to
disagree
sometimes
and
that's.
Okay,
that's
part
of
democracy.
In
fact,
it
is
the
core
of
democracy.
E
E
Today's
meeting
is
about
setting
up
the
inner
workings
of
the
council,
and
that
is
important,
but
from
today
forward
our
work
will
demand
that
we
partner
with
each
of
you
in
our
community
to
reach
all
of
our
goals.
We
have
to
harness
the
talents
and
energy
of
our
business
community,
our
nonprofit
and
civic
organizations,
our
advocacy
community,
and
we
have
to
make
sure
that
every
person
who
wants
to
get
involved
in
shaping
the
future
of
this
city
is
invited
to
have
a
voice
as
each
of
us
returning
council.
Members
knows
this
is
a
tough
job.
E
E
Thank
you,
so
colleagues,
we
will
now
proceed
to
the
new
business
on
our
agenda.
I've
asked
the
clerk
to
prepare
a
packet
of
the
draft
paperwork
for
each
of
these
items,
which
was
emailed
around
and
you
have
at
your
desks.
Each
of
these
items
is
number
just
correspond
to
the
agenda
to
help
facilitate
our
action,
and
there
are
seven
items
today
under
new
business,
they're
numbered
in
our
packets
one
through
seven,
and
then
there
will
be
three
ordinance
introductions
that
are
listed
at
the
end,
authored
by
the
respective
committee
chairs
item
number.
E
One
under
new
business
is
the
standing
committees
and
membership
of
the
Minneapolis
City
Council.
This
is
a
resolution
establishing
the
standing
committees,
including
the
membership
leadership
forums
and
dates
of
regular
meetings,
I'm
proposing
a
total
of
12
standing
committees,
and
this
would
include
a
submit
subcommittee
of
the
committee
of
the
whole
focused
on
race
equity,
the
race
equity
subcommittee
of
the
committee
of
the
whole.
E
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I,
just
wanted
to
take
a
quick
moment
to
speak
to
the
process
in
which
we
got
to
this
place
of
the
standing
committees
and
the
membership,
and
just
really
speak
to
councilmember
benders
leadership
in
this
whole
process.
So
she
has
shown
leadership
that
has
sown
the
seeds
of
collaboration
rather
than
discord,
and
with
that
that's
going
to
shift
the
culture
not
only
within
Minneapolis
City
Hall,
but
throughout
the
entire
city
government.
She
operates
in
ways
with
integrity
in
ways
that
we
rarely
see.
F
One
of
the
ways
that
I
define
progressive
is
the
pragmatic
and
thoughtful
approach
to
working
across
differences
and
I
can
say
that,
since
the
eight
weeks
since
the
election
that
that
has
really
been
or
councilmember
bender
has
shined
shown
was
really
being
able
to
show
that
we
can
all
come
together
and
be
able
to
build
power
across
differences,
I
believe
to
dismantle
historic
and
present
harms
that
the
process
matters
as
much,
if
not
more
than
the
end
product
itself,
and
that
is
really
where
I
saw
such
great
leadership.
I.
F
Historically,
new
council
members
and
younger
council
members
would
not
have
much
of
a
voice
in
the
process
of
developing
the
council
structure
and
I
have
been
treated
with
respect
as
a
peer
I
have
been
had
an
equal
voice
in
the
collaborative
decision-making
and
have
been
heard
as
a
representing
voice
to
a
mark
or
a
marginalized
community.
She
is
a
quiet
leadership,
that's
underappreciated,
which
is
about
building
bridges
and
building
us
up
as
individual
council
members
who
have
work
to
do
on
our
local
on
the
local
level
in
our
communities.
E
That
resolution
is
adopted.
The
next
item
is
new
business
item
number:
two:
executive
committee.
Membership.
This
item
is
a
resolution
designating
those
council
members
who
will
serve
on
the
executive
committee.
The
executive
committee
is
an
independent
body
created
under
the
city
charter,
which
unites
the
mayor
and
council
to
address
enterprise
governance.
The
charter
dictates
that
the
mayor
is
the
chair
and
the
presidents
is
the
vice
chair.
E
B
A
E
E
Resolution
is
adopted
that
moves
us
to
new
business
item
number
three:
the
audit
committee
membership.
This
is
a
resolution
designating
council
members
to
serve
on
the
Audit
Committee.
The
Audit
Committee
is
an
independent
body
responsible
for
the
city's
internal
audit
function,
including
the
appointment
and
supervision
of
the
city
auditor.
The
ways
and
means
chair
is
automatically
a
member
of
the
Audit
Committee
I
am
proposing
to
add
council
member
plan
Asano,
who
is
chair
of
our
Budget
Committee
as
well
as
councilmember
Schrader
as
the
other
council
member.
E
A
E
Motion
is
adopted,
new
bidis
business
item
number.
Four
is
adoption
of
the
2018
calendar
of
the
regular
meetings
of
the
City
Council
and
its
standing
committees,
as
well
as
the
independent
audit
and
executive
committee's
a
draft
of
the
calendar
is
included
in
your
packets
and
it
reflects
all
the
observed,
holidays
and
significant
dates
as
well
as
our
Ward
work
weeks
once
adopted,
we
will
ask
the
city
clerk
to
publish
and
post
the
calendar
to
make
periodic
updates
to
reflect
the
needs
of
the
council,
any
questions
or
discussion
from
council
members
on
the
motion.
B
E
Motion
is
adopted,
the
fifth
item.
New
business
is
the
rules
of
order,
so
this
is
a
little
different,
I'll
explain.
The
next
item
is
a
resolution
adopting
the
council
rules
so
we'll
be
adopting
the
current
version
of
the
rules
that
was
adopted
in
2016
and
that
will
remain
in
effect.
For
now
the
intent
is
to
adopt
the
resolution
and
then
invite
council
members
to
work
with
a
city
clerk
on
any
adjustments
needed,
including
those
that
will
reflect
the
structure
that
we
brought
forward
today.
E
C
A
E
Resolution
is
adopted.
Item
number.
Six
is
a
succession
plan.
The
city
charter
requires
that
the
council
adopt
a
resolution
establishing
the
lines
of
succession
to
the
offices
of
mayor
and
council
president,
the
draft
before
you
satisfies
this
requirement
identifying
both
the
name
and
position
of
those
council
members
who
are
in
line
in
what
order
to
assume
the
office
of
council
president
and
as
necessary,
the
office
of
mayor.
Are
there
any
questions
from
Council
members,
seeing
none
Clerk
councilmember.
E
Is
adopted
new
business
item
number.
Seven
is
council
member
appointments.
This
is
our
last
item
of
new
business
and
it
appoints
council
members
to
a
number
of
organizations,
boards
and
commissions
and
other
groups
as
representatives
of
the
city
of
Minneapolis.
So
this
resolution
provides
those
assignments,
but
we
also
know
that
many
of
you
serve
on
boards
and
commissions.
E
That
may
be
specific
to
your
wards,
and
this
may
not
be
a
full
and
complete
list
of
all
of
the
appointments
that
will
take
place
throughout
our
term,
so
know
that
this
is
a
living
document
and
can
always
be
updated
with
your
commitments
or
anything.
We
may
have
missed
in
this
sort
of
long
list
of
appointments.
Are
there
any
questions
or
discussion
from
Council
members
seeing
nine
clerk?
Please
call
the
roll
councilmember.
E
A
E
A
E
Motion
is
adopted
so
now
we
are
moving
on
to
the
introduction
and
referral
calendar
portion
of
our
agenda.
We
have
a
series
of
ordinance
introductions
to
be
referred
to
their
proper
committees.
These
are
routine
actions
included
in
every
organizational
meeting
as
means
of
expediting
the
noticing
and
referral
of
these
matters
during
the
coming
term.
The
introduction
essentially
opens
these
chapters
to
be
routine
recurring.
E
Actions
in
your
packets
are
three
motions
that
accomplish
these
referrals
authored
respect,
respectively
by
councilmember
Warsaw
me
for
the
Ways
and
Means
Committee
councilmember
Reich
for
the
transportation
and
Public
Works
Committee
and
councilmember
Schrader
for
the
zoning
and
planning
committee.
I
would
like
to
take
one
voice
vote
on
all
three
motions,
so
we'll
ask
if
there
are
any
questions
on
any
of
the
three
referrals
and
seeing
none
I
will
call
for
a
vote
on
all
of
the
motions
all
those
in
favor.
E
That
completes
our
agenda
for
the
organizational
meeting
of
the
Minneapolis
City
Council
I
want
to
repeat
my
thanks
to
everyone
who's
here
and
all
of
my
colleagues.
We
are
gonna
have
a
great
term
together.
Are
there
any
announcements
we
always
end
with
announcement
seeing
on?
We
have
completed
all
business
for
today
and
Oh

mayor.
