From YouTube: April 25, 2018 Committee of the Whole
Description
Minneapolis Committee of the Whole Meeting
A
Good
morning,
I'm
going
to
call
to
order
both
the
regular
meeting
of
the
committee
of
the
whole
and
the
inaugural
meeting
of
the
race
equity
subcommittee
for
Wednesday
April
25th.
My
name
is
Andrea
Jenkins
and
I
am
the
chair
of
both
of
these
committees
and
with
me
at
the
dais.
Today
is
council
member
allisonmorse,
ami
Schrader
council
president
bender
council,
member
Gordon
and
councilmember
Fletcher.
Let
the
record
reflect
that
we
do
have
a
quorum
of
the
City.
Council
today
is
a
is
a
very
exciting
day.
We
are
taking
the
next
step
in
moving
forward.
A
Really
heavily
supported
and
and
move
forward
by,
my
predecessor,
council,
vice
president
Elizabeth
glitty,
and
so
I
want
to
acknowledge
her
her
efforts
and
and
we're
moving
moving
this
work
forward.
So
thank
you
all
for
being
here
and
before
we
get
started
with
our
presentations
to
learn
about
the
work
that
has
been
happening
here
at
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
the
ordinances
that
created
it,
as
well
as
what
our
future
plans
I
want
to
share
a
poem.
B
A
C
A
A
A
Yesterday
was
a
black
day,
not
as
in
dark
matter
or
consumer
spending.
Black
Friday,
though
some
may
call
City
Hall
a
black
hole,
I
wake
up
every
day
and
go
to
this
black
hole.
I
have
to
protect
my
soul,
but
this
wasn't
that
day,
no
dark
clouds
blocking
out
the
Sun.
This
was
a
black
day,
as
in
black
people's
issues
were
front
and
center,
as
in
a
time
to
make
systemic
change
happen.
C
A
A
A
Presentations
from
community
members,
including
dr.
Rose,
brewer
Leslie
LeDoux,
the
president
of
the
n-double
a-c-p
and
Jeff
Hassan
from
the
African
American
Leadership
Forum.
We
have
two
items
on
our
race
equity
subcommittee
agenda
today.
The
first
is
to
receive
and
file
several
presentations
join
Marv
Stephens
from
the
cities,
division
of
race
and
Ecklie
will
brief
us
on
the
past
present
and
future
efforts
around
racial
equity
efforts
within
the
city
enterprise
and
then
interspersed
with
those
presentations.
A
A
E
You,
chairperson
Jenkins,
and
to
the
council,
thank
you
for
inviting
me
I,
don't
have
a
whole
lot
of
time,
so
I'm
going
to
get
right
into
it.
As
you
all
know,
in
this
21st
century,
original
inequality
is
real.
It's
deep
and
it's
alive
and
well
whether
we're
talking
about
environmental
racism,
mass
incarceration,
the
racial
wealth
divide
was
just
something
that
I've
written
quite
a
bit
about.
I.
E
What
you
owe
or
your
assets
and
the
story
of
the
black
racial
wealth
divide
historically,
is,
of
course,
the
trauma
of
violence,
the
blood
of
enslavement,
labor
exportation,
and
the
reason
this
is
so
meaningful
is
because
wealth
is
passed
on
intergenerationally
and
if
you
aren't
able
to
obtain
it
at
an
earlier
point
in
time,
your
ears,
your
descendants,
won't
have
it
at
a
later
point
in
time.
It
really
is
disingenuous
to
talk
about
poverty
without
understanding
how
wealth
was
developed
in
this
country
and
continues
to
be
expropriated
and
for
african
americans.
E
The
wealth
divide
has
been
exceedingly
huge
and
devastating
in
2011,
which
is
not
the
most
recent
statistic
but
relevant
because
it
followed
in
the
wake
of
the
housing
crash
and
the
economic
depression
or
recession
of
oh
seven
and
eight
just
about
$5,000
in
holdings
was
the
black
median
wealth
income
as
compared
to
a
hundred
and
fourteen
thousand
dollars
for
white
Americans.
This
pattern
followed
in
states
like
Minnesota
as
well
as
nationally,
and
unfortunately,
the
situation
has
not
not
improved.
Of
course,
in
our
city
and
in
this
state,
the
most
I
should
say.
E
Devastating.
Consequences
of
lack
of
home
ownership,
which
is
very
low
in
the
city,
is
the
lack
of
wealth
production
homes
are
typically
the
way
that
people
build
wealth
and
at
21%
it's
very
difficult
for
African
Americans.
To
do
that,
however,
there
is
a
deeper
history
that
councilperson
Jenkins
asked
me
to
speak
to
you
about
very
briefly,
and
you
know,
I
thought
about
this
and
I
wondered.
E
How
do
we
tell
the
history
of
a
state
where
a
structural
racism
organizes
life
is
systemically
and
I
believe
by
the
dominant
group
that
its
racial
politics
are
liberal
and
exceptional?
It's
a
very
interesting
conundrum
in
some
ways
we
know
if
we
go
back
to
the
earliest
history
as
in
the
rest
of
the
country.
E
It's
a
history
of
white
settler
colonialism,
the
removal
of
the
Dakota
in
this
state
and,
of
course,
from
my
perspective,
the
current
so-called
racial
disparities
are
embedded
in
everyday
life,
but
also
in
this
deeper
history
that
continues
to
haunt
us
just
to
highlight
a
few
of
the
aspects
of
that
history.
As
we
go
through
this
morning.
E
Some
of
you
may
know
that
by
1863
there
are
steamboats
called
the
northerner
and
the
Davenport
that
brought
over
200
enslaved
Africans
to
Minnesota
to
work
in
a
labor
shortage
caused
by
the
Civil
War
Minnesota
can't
disconnect
its
history
from
slavery
or
the
Civil
War,
no
matter
how
hard
try
slaveholders
had
summered
in
st.
Cloud
Minnesota,
they
brought
enslaved
Africans
with
them.
The
University
of
Minnesota
actually
made
a
small
loan
from
a
slave
holder
to
keep
its
doors
open.
E
The
small
but
growing
population
of
black
people
in
the
wake
of
the
post
slave
period
is
notable.
Churches
were
built,
communities
were
raised,
but
the
state
didn't
respond
favorably.
So
there's
a
long
arc
of
discrimination
that
didn't
start
today,
but
was
pervasive
and
I
would
say
it
boils
down
to
this,
why
employers
simply
refuse
to
hire
Minnesotans
who
were
african-american.
They
refuse
to
lend
the
few
jobs
historically
open,
were
primarily
either
unskilled
service
or
on
railroads
racial
violence,
solidified
the
exclusion,
the
economic
exclusion.
E
We
know
the
story
of
Duluth,
but
in
1931
in
my
neighborhood
violence
arose
when
Arthur
Lee
attempted
to
move
to
South
Minneapolis
being
the
first
black
homeowner
there.
This
is
a
small
piece
of
the
history
that
haunts
us
to
the
present
time,
so
it
is
imperative
that
we
hold
this
history,
tear
that
we
be
held
accountable
and
that
we
properly
locate
the
economic
disparities
and
exclusions
of
today.
E
We
recently
did
a
very
moving
presentation
on
the
University
of
Minnesota
campuses
campus
called
a
campus
divided,
and
it
spoke
to
that
University's
history
of
exclusion,
including
african-american
students
not
being
able
to
live
in
dorms.
So
we
have
our
work
cut
out.
Glad
I
was
able
to
share
about
five
minutes
of
a
very
deeper
and
more
complex
history.
So
thank
you.
Wow.
C
A
F
You
and
for
other
community
members
I
will
not
presume
to
be
the
historian
that
dr.
brewer
is
but
I
will,
to
your
point,
speak
to
some
of
the
efforts
that
the
city
has
undertaken
in
order
to
speak
to
the
economic
disparities
and
some
of
the
challenges
that
were
faced
by
communities
of
color
in
Minnesota
over
time,
but
before
I
do
that
I
want
to
take
a
moment
to
introduce
my
team
who's
here
with
me
today.
So
we
had
the
work
of
the
division
of
race
and
equity
really
centers
on
two
different
buckets
of
work.
F
It's
worth
Bijou
inside
of
our
city,
Enterprise,
to
work
with
policy
makers
and
with
staff
to
grow
capacity,
to
advance
racial
equity
and
to
think
about
equity,
equity
critically
in
the
work
that
we
do
and
so
representing
that
body
of
work
on
the
team
is
Luis
Reed
who's
here
with
us
today.
In
addition
to
that,
the
division
of
race
and
equity
runs
a
federally
funded
grant
program
that
looks
at
racial
trauma
and
harm
in
community
through
systemic
racism.
F
Over
time,
it
grows
capacity
of
community
members
and
city
staff
to
both
understand
the
trauma
and
the
basis
of
that
trauma,
but
also
infuses
resources
to
help
us
build
more
resilient
and
trauma
responsive
organizations
of
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
but
also
grow
capacity
of
our
residents
in
order
to
be
able
to
lead
in
creating
resilience
based
solutions
and
so
ebony
added,
IO
and
Kristina
managed
hero
villa
Ronn
are
on
the
team
and
they're.
Also
here
today
can
we
ask.
F
Thank
you.
So,
in
addition
to
that
team,
since
we
have
our
team
is
pretty
small,
it's
really
dedicated
to
this
work
in
2006
17.
We
started
a
program
modeled
after
an
effort
by
the
Metropolitan
Council
to
expand
the
reach
and
the
impact
of
our
work
that
the
team
that
we
have
is
our
racial
equity
coordinator
team
is
represented
by
12
city
to
power.
F
Ten
city
departments,
12
members
who
dedicates
in
percent
of
their
time
to
helping
us
tackle,
enterprise-level,
recreational
equity
matters
and
so
they've
been
able
to
do
things
like
help,
inform
the
comprehensive
plan
and
that
rolled
out
they
participated
with
us
and
some
training
opportunities
at
the
community
connections.
Conference
they've
also
been
able
to
provide
input
to
HR
as
a
rolling
out
the
cultural
agility
success
factor,
and
some
of
those
members
are
also
here
today,
but
I
just
want
to
identify
them
as
I.
As
I
said
they
represent.
F
Ten
of
our
city
departments,
cpad
a
man
August
Howe
and
Silvia
Gonzalez
Emergency
Management
has
Diana
Roman.
The
Health
Department
has
marquita
Keys,
wife,
foster
and
who's
here
in
the
room
of
Finance
and
Property.
Services
has
kurt
fernandez
the
clerk's
department
from
the
mayor's
office.
Jim
white
is
part
of
this
group
in
CR
has
Michele
Chavez
Public
Works
has
Greg
Michaels
and
byron
Perkins,
the
City
Attorney's
Office
has
pauline
bradford
regulatory
services
has
Darrell.
Spears
is
also
in
the
room.
F
So
back
to
the
history
of
the
work
again,
emphasizing
that
I'm,
not
a
historian
but
I,
do
want
to
lift
up
some
of
the
key
points,
some
of
the
key
opportunities
that
our
City
Council
has
taken
over
the
years
to
really
center
racial
equity
and
really
address
the
racial
harm
that
has
come
through
centuries
and
history
of
of
policy
of
government
policy.
So
starting
back
to
the
time
of
Hubert
Humphrey
was
really
when
the
city
of
Minneapolis
put
itself
on
the
map.
F
Through
the
adoption
of
the
Fair
Employment
Practices
ordinance
and
the
resulting
Fair
Employment
Practices
Commission,
the
city
really
began
to
talk
about
employment.
So,
as
you
talk
about
those
economic
factors
that
dr.
Brewers
spoke
of
really
looking
at
employment
and
looking
at
employment
disparity
that
impacted
of
Americans
african-americans
in
the
Jewish
community
at
the
time,
so
by
centering,
this
work
around
this
ordinance,
it
was
Humphry
its
opportunity
to
say
we
have.
The
city
of
Minneapolis
are
gonna,
think
more
critically
about
how
we
expand
opportunity
to
these
communities
that
have
been
left
out
fast.
F
F
Bueller
spoke
to
has
has
been
going
on
for
quite
a
while
and
even
within
the
40s
and
in
the
40s
or
the
60s
going
on
for
quite
a
while
as
well,
because
the
issues
still
continue
to
present
themselves
Minneapolis
at
the
time
demographically
had
a
very
small
population
of
african-americans
or
a
small
population
of
communities
of
color.
Yet
never
yet
at
the
same
time
still
considered
itself
to
be
relatively
progressive
on
these
issues,
but
the
disparities
still
existed.
F
So
these
policies
were
enacted
in
Minneapolis,
like
other
cities
nationally
in
1966
and
1967
got
onto
the
map
as
well.
When
we
saw
racial
uprisings,
so
we
saw
communities
across
our
nation
really
showing
up
with
community
saying
that
they
had
had
enough.
They
were
looking
for
more
access
to
opportunities
and
they
were
looking
for
government
to
to
show
up
in
that
way.
So
for
Minneapolis,
the
resulting
of
that
was
the
formation
of
our
civil
rights
department
and
the
civil
rights
commission
that
came
in
1967.
F
If
we
look
into
the
21st
century
more
recently,
starting
in
2008,
the
City
Council
also
began
looking
at
employment
again
so
continuing
to
keep
these
issues
against
center
and
those
worth
were
doing
by
forming
the
employment
steering
committee
and
in
passing,
a
resolution
on
equity
and
employment
for
the
city
of
Minneapolis.
Following
a
2012
in
2014,
we
joined
with
other
cities
nationally
who
were
looking
at
advancing
racial
equity
through
the
government,
Alliance
and
race
inequity.
F
The
city
of
Minneapolis
is
one
of
nine
cities
across
the
nation
who
joined
that
group
in
its
inception
and
said
we're
gonna
work
with
others
to
think
about
how
we're
going
to
expand
racial
equity
in
the
work
that
we
do
through
policy
so
beginning
to
form
a
community
of
practice
around
this
work
shortly
thereafter,
the
city
higher
to
equity
and
inclusion
managers
I'm
one
of
them.
My
counterpart
Julian
Larssen,
who
leads
the
promise
zone
in
North
Minneapolis,
is
the
second
one.
F
City
council
formed
a
definition
of
racial
equity
to
guide
the
work
for
the
city
and
also
began,
as
I
mentioned
before
the
coordinator,
the
racial
equity
Coordinator
launched
in
2007,
which
leads
us
up
to
the
adoption
of
the
2017
sorry,
which
leads
us
up
to
the
adoption
of
the
race
equity
ordinance,
also
in
2017.
Up
until
this
point,
the
city
of
Minneapolis
had
not
implemented
really
the
the
capacity
building
infrastructure
in
the
city.
Around
this
work
we
had
operated
without
a
solid
plan
that
guided
the
worker
equity
plan,
the
guides
the
work
of
the
city.
F
We
had
not
begun
to
implement
actual
tools
and
putting
them
in
the
hands
of
our
staff
and
our
departments
to
be
able
to
think
critically
around
race.
A
lot
of
the
work
was
led
by
policy
makers
and
a
few
very
high-level
staff
in
the
city
who
were
helping
to
think
about
policy,
but
not
actually
embedding
the
capacity
deep
down
into
department
so
that
we
could
really
make
the
thinking
about
racial
equity
as
part
of
our
everyday
work,
and
so
the
adoption
of
the
ordinance
really
began
that
opportunity
for
us
to
think
critically
about
that.
F
In
addition
to
that,
what
it
allows
us
to
do
is
think
about
how
we
can
create
more
accountability.
Measures
associated
with
that
so
clear
performance
measures
internally
ways
to
share
this
information
externally
to
our
community
members
and
for
community
members
to
join
with
us
in
co-creating,
more
equitable
outcomes
in
our
city,
which
is
part
of
the
reason
why
we
had
with
one
council
forum
the
rich
equity,
Community,
Advisory
Committee,
which
we'll
hear
more
about
later
on
in
the
presentation.
So
to
remind
folks,
we
do,
as
I
said.
F
City
Council
did
a
did
form
a
definition
of
racial
equity
which
is
available
on
our
website,
and
one
of
the
things
that
I'd
like
to
just
call
out
about
this
back
to
what
dr.
Brewers
spoke
of
is
that
we
recognize
that
our
commitment
to
racial
equity
does
require
us
to
think
about
reversing
the
harms
that
have
been
done
by
government
policy.
We
can't
just
take
a
futuristic
look
at
what
we
need
to
do,
but
we
actually
need
to
be
thoughtful
and
on
our
history
and
about
how
our
history
informs
where
we
are
today.
F
On
the
grand
scale
of
where
we
are
as
a
city
based
on
the
policy
works
that
we've
done
so
far,
I
really
feel
like
the
city
of
Minneapolis
is
in
this
sort
of
middle
tier
around
organizing
we've
done
a
lot
of
work
on
this.
This
logic
model
comes
from
the
government
alliance
and
race
and
equity,
and
it
says,
and
it
based
on
the
logic
model.
What
it
says
is
that
we
as
a
city,
we
have
really
begun
doing
some
critical
work
around
racial
equity,
but
a
lot
of
that
stays
relatively
siloed.
Inside
of
our
departments.
F
The
ordinances
and
the
resolutions
that
have
come
from
City
Council
have
gotten
this
to
the
point
that
we're
at,
and
we
really
do
sit
at
the
precipice
of
being
able
to
move
that
work
forward
in
a
much
more
powerful
way.
So
I
agree
with
you,
council
vice
president
Jenkins,
that
there
really
isn't
a
better
time
to
be
alive
than
we
are
right
now.
A
So
so
there
is
a
history
before
I
move
forward,
though
I
do
want
to
just
acknowledge
that
councilmember
Andrew
Johnson
is
not
able
to
join
us
a
day.
He
is
representing
the
city
of
Minneapolis
on
a
transportation
project
with
the
state,
so
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
acknowledge
his
absence
and
with
that
I
am
going
to
invite
mr.
Jeffrey
Hassan
Esquire
of
the
African
American
Leadership.
A
G
Right
Thank,
You,
councilmember,
Jenkins
and
city
council
members,
my
name
is
Jeffrey
Hassan
I
am
now
a
consultant
to
the
African
America
and
Leadership
Forum,
having
just
retired
on
April
1st
of
this
year,
but
I
will
be
continuing.
This
work
that
we're
doing
until
the
new
executive
director
is
in
place.
I
want
to
start
from
the
specific
and
then
work
out
to
the
general.
G
The
African
American
Leadership
Forum
was
formed
in
2008
by
a
group
of
roughly
45
African
American
leaders
in
the
corporate
government,
political
and
private
sectors
to
address
three
issues:
economics,
education
and
health
and
wellness
in
the
African
American
community
in
the
metro
area.
Now,
because
most
of
the
people
at
the
table
at
that
time
had
had
the
opportunity
for
an
advanced
education.
Most
of
us
coalesced
around
the
issue
of
education,
and
so
the
African
American,
Leadership,
Forum
and
education
almost
became
synonymous.
G
He
and
I
met
with
a
number
of
public,
private
and
philanthropic
leaders
to
talk
about
their
five-point
plan
quickly.
The
five-point
plan
was
around
employment,
equity,
business
opportunities,
legislative
action,
philanthropic
investment
and
finally,
the
fifth
point
was
an
annual
report
to
discuss
the
progress
that
had
been
made
or
to
document
the
progress
they
made
in
2016
after
meeting
with
public
private
and
philanthropic
representatives,
we
found
that
progress
was
being
made
in
the
area
of
employment.
We
saw
an
uptick
in
employment
2016.
G
The
Minnesota
Legislature
passed
an
equity
package
for
the
first
time,
seventy
million
dollars
over
the
biennium.
We
saw
an
increase
in
philanthropic
investment.
The
one
area
in
which
we
saw
no
progress,
it
was
completely
stagnant,
was
in
the
area
of
business
opportunities,
and
so
over
the
next
year,
2016-2017
we
began
going
to
government
entities
and
asking
them
tell
us
how
much
you're
spending
each
year
in
contracting
and
purchasing
of
goods
and
services,
and
they
could
tell
us
what
the
aggregate
amount
was.
G
They
could
even
tell
us
what
the
wmba
amount
was
women
and
minority
business
enterprise.
Our
responses
were
where
the
African
American
Leadership
Forum.
How
much
are
you
spending
with
African
Americans?
Well,
we
can't
tell
you
that
our
systems
don't
allow
that
in
2016
there's
only
two
units
state,
Minnesota
and
University
of
Minnesota.
They
tell
us
how
much
was
being
spent
with
african-americans
and
other
ethnic
businesses
long
story
short
by
last
year.
G
Now
some
of
you
I've
met
with
since
then
councilmember,
Jenkins
and
and
some
of
the
others
of
you
to
put
forth
this
information
in
front
of
you
and
the
question
is
well.
What
do
you
want
us
to?
Do?
We
want
you
to
hold
government
employees.
Your
city,
employees
specifically
accountable,
make
their
jobs
accountable
for
changing
this
terrible
situation.
We
have
now
many
people
have
asked.
Well.
How
did
the
situation
get
this
bad
I
believe
they
got
this
back
and
it's
basically
flown
under
the
radar?
G
G
If
you
really
are
interested
and
want
to
drill
down
on
these
issues,
there's
two
pieces
of
information
that
I
would
call
the
Bible
when
you're
talking
about
disaggregated
data
when
it
comes
to
the
economic
conditions
of
not
only
African
Americans,
but
ethnic
groups
in
Minnesota
one
is
the
economic
status
of
Minnesotans,
that's
produced
by
the
Minnesota
state,
demographics
Center.
This
is
a
January
2016
publication,
excellent.
It
breaks
out
17
different
ethnic
categories
and
describes
their
educational,
their
their
family,
their
economic
condition.
It's
a
must
read
if
you're
really
interested
in
addressing
this
issue.
G
The
other
is
our
organization,
African
American,
Leadership,
Forum
and
I
do
have
some
copies
here
for
you
published
in
December
of
2015
the
African
American
financial
capabilities
that
describes
the
condition
the
economic
condition
of
African
Americans
in
here
in
Minnesota,
and
primarily
in
the
metro
area,
I'm
happy
to
make
this
publication
available
either
electronically
or
in
hardcopy.
All
the
council
members.
So
with
that
I
will
end.
If
there's
any
question,
I'm
happy
to
entertain
them.
A
G
A
H
F
So
our
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
our
racial
equity
efforts
as
I
referenced
earlier
they're
very
widely
distributed.
So
the
the
ingenuity
and
the
passion
around
what
we're
going
to
do.
Remove
equity
really
does
sit
in
the
hands
of
our
nearly
40,000
employees
and
our
over
20
departments,
where
ideas
and
initiatives
around
the
work
are
broadly
shared.
So
an
effort
to
present
that
work
takes
a
lot
of
energy
and
I
want
to
definitely
come
in
those
department.
F
Heads
who
rallied
to
provide
updates
to
us
in
preparation
for
this
presentation,
recognizing
that
we
have
limited
time
and
there's
no
really
really
effective
way.
To
tell
this
comprehensive
story
in
the
limited
time
that
we
have,
but
I
will
make
every
effort
to
touch
on
the
highlights
from
these
department
narratives
that
we
have
and
the
stories
of
what's
happening
inside
of
the
city
right
now
to
mister
Hassan's
points
around
the
economic
opportunities
that
exist
for
us
here
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis.
F
A
lot
of
the
work
is,
you
will
see
centers
around
how
we
are
responding
to
those
challenges
as
a
city
and
the
presentation
that
will
offer
looks
both
internally.
What's
the
work
that
we're
doing
for
ourselves,
how
are
we
thinking
about
our
employments?
How
are
we
thinking
about
our
spending?
How
are
we
thinking
about
the
ways
in
which
we're
engaging
powerfully
with
our
community
members
and
then
also,
what's
the
work
that
we're
doing
to
actually
impact
directly
those
constituents
who
call
Minneapolis
home.
F
So,
as
we
look
at
our
enterprise,
racial
equity
efforts,
we
segmented
the
work
into
four
basic
categories.
How
are
we
growing
the
capacity
of
our
staff
to
think
critically
around
racial
equity?
How
are
we
building
teams
inside
of
our
departments,
the
tools
that
were
utilizing
order
to
further
this
work?
The
workforce?
Who
are
we
hiring?
How
are
we
looking
at
our
workforce
in
developing
people
within
our
workforce
for
promotional
opportunities
and
leveraging
people
for
advancement,
as
well
as
the
ways
which
we're
bringing
people
into
the
workforce
and
the
spending
to
mr.
Hassan's
point?
F
This
work
is
broadly
owned
by
a
lot
of
other
areas
in
the
city,
and
I'll
do
my
best
to
highlight
that
ownership
as
we
get
to
those
different
sections,
so
around
capacity
building,
I'll
start
with
the
work
that
we
do
do
and
I'm,
and
just
so
that
everyone
knows
when
there
are
copies
of
the
presentation
that
are
on
the
Diocese
of
the
clerk.
There
are
also
copies
of
the
presentation
that
are
linked
to
the
to
the
online
that
are
available
to
folks
I'm,
not
going
to
read
slides
to
you,
but
just
something.
F
This
information
is
available
for
everyone
to
download
and
to
consume
so
what's
listed.
Here
are
the
variety
of
ways
in
which
the
division
of
race
and
equity,
which
is
a
component
of
our
city
coordinators
office,
has
provided
enterprise
level
engagement
for
staff.
That
work
is
centered
around
foundational
racial
equity
training,
where
we've
been
able
to
touch
every
single
city
department,
we've
been
able
to
graduate
60
staff
people
through
that
process
as
well,
who
have
completed
all
five
of
those
classes,
and
that's
happened
over
the
course
of
the
last
couple
of
years.
F
We've
led
a
book
club,
an
enterprise
level
book
club,
we've
done
other
sorts
of
engagements.
We
provided
in
addition
to
that
training,
opportunities
around
racial
trauma
and
harm
for
community
members,
so
that
we,
as
city
staff,
understand
more
deeply
how
racial
harm
and
systemic
racism
has
impacted
the
communities
that
we
serve,
which
helps
us
to
be
more
informed
as
we
go
out
and
engage
with
these
communities.
F
The
stories
that
came
from
that
are
being
put
into
a
mural
that
soon
and
very
soon
as
be
hanging
on
the
wall
right
across
room
315,
so
really
brightening,
City
Hall
and
really
becoming
an
opportunity
for
us
to
reflect
on
our
walls.
The
people
who
called
Minneapolis
home.
So
we're
very
excited
about
that
as
well.
F
In
addition
to
the
capacity
building
work
that
race
inequity,
does
our
Human
Resources
Department
takes
a
very
strong
leadership
role
in
this
work
as
well,
and
really
growing
that
the
capacity
of
our
supervisors
and
our
managers
and
other
department
heads
to
really
think
about
how
they
are
able
to
look
at
the
workforce
and
mature
the
workforce
in
a
way
that
is
informed
by
rich
equity
by
cultural
competency
as
well,
and
so
they
have
a
variety
of
different
programs
that
speak
to
that.
The
leadership
view
program
is
is
broadly
supported
through
different
departments.
F
F
So
building
teams
inside
of
departments
is
a
key
strategy
that
we
in
race
and
equity,
hope
to
begin
to
implement
citywide,
but
I
want
to
lift
up
those
departments
who
have
taken
some
initiative
around
doing
this
already.
Some
of
these
teams
existed
before
race
and
equity
existed,
and
all
of
these
teams
exist
for
a
variety
of
different
ways.
Our
civil
rights
department
has
a
specific
division
around
around
equity,
our
finance
and
property
services
department
actually
built
a
race
and
equity
team.
That's
looking
really
critically
at
policy.
F
That's
looking
at
inclusion,
that's
looking
at
hiring
and
on
spending
our
regulatory
services
department
is
Relic
is
fairly
similar
in
that
regard,
as
well,
really
taking
a
critical
look
at
the
ways
in
which
their
department
is
functioning,
but
also
adding
to
that
the
capacity
building
for
their
staff
3-1-1
does
a
lot
of
really
innovative
work
around
workplace
inclusion.
So
how
can
they
depend?
The
understanding
of
their
co-operators
understand
different
cultures.
The
Health
Department
has
their
culture
club
and
they
bring
in
speakers.
F
They
also
do
a
lot
of
inclusion
work
through
their
through
their
efforts
as
well,
and
additionally,
the
Community
Planning
and
Economic
Development
Division
has
an
inclusion
team
there
as
well,
and
the
inclusion
team
that
they
formed
came
out
as
a
result
of
an
all
employee
survey
that
they
did
in
learning
that
this
was
an
area
of
opportunity
for
them.
So
they
formed
this
team.
F
And
lastly,
our
workforce
I
definitely
want
to
lift
up
the
work
that
our
Human
Resources
Department
leads
in
this,
along
with
other
departments
like
civil
rights
and
cpad,
job
training
or
employment
training
in
helping
to
grow
our
workforce
to
the
point
that
it
reflects
the
city
of
Minneapolis
and
the
diversity.
The
City
Council
actually
set
goals.
F
Last
year
around
our
workforce,
diversity
that
we
were
going
to
get
to
41%
employees
of
color
and
45%
women
in
the
workplace
by
two
that
by
the
year
2022,
we
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do
to
get
there
from
where
we
are
right
now,
and
these
slides
are
here
to
reflect
again
the
diversity
of
work-
that's
happening
across
their
City
Enterprise.
So
we
have
efforts
I'm
here
for
people
who
have
thought
about
their
interview
panels,
making
sure
that
their
interview
panels
are
reflective
of
a
variety
of
different
perspectives.
F
Investments
made
in
addressing
bias
I'm
in
doing
training
through
training-
that's
been
offered
through
HR.
There
are
lots
of
opportunities
here
listed
around
different
recruitment
opportunities.
The
departments
are
doing
as
well
as
pathway
programs.
What
we're
finding
is
that
the
government
is
certainly
a
great
way
for
people
to
come
into
the
workplace,
particularly
for
people
of
color
to
come
into
the
workplace.
F
That
really
build
me
building
these
pathway
programs
to
make
working
for
local
government
exciting
for
high
school
students
or
for
college
students,
and
so
the
pathway
programs
really
do
provide
a
bridge,
and
there
are
a
variety
of
different
pathway
programs
that
are
reflected
here
in
a
lot
of
departments
like
work,
services,
HR
and
9-1-1
fire
department.
The
police
department,
public
works
as
ways
to
grow
our
population
of
our
workforce.
F
In
addition
to
that-
and
there
are
ways
in
which
departments
are
doing
outreach
in
a
different
areas
to
recruit
even
younger
people
into
the
workplace
as
well,
and
we
have
our
clerk's
office
who
creates
opportunities
for
students
of
color,
for
example,
to
be
election
judges
and
that
allows
them
also
and
many
opportunities
to
bring
additional
language
skills
into
those
election
into
those
polling
places.
In.
F
Addition
to
our
workforce
plate
efforts
that
are
happening
speaking
directly
to
mr.
Hassan's
presentation
is
our
spending
and
how
our
city
is
spending
our
dollars
he's.
Let
us
know
where
those
numbers
stack
up
right
now
and
the
opportunity
that
we
have
some
of
the
understanding
about
this
and
the
work
that
we've
done
is
the
work
we've
done
around
supplier
diversity.
This
effort
has
been
shepherded
through
our
city
coordinators
office
through
a
process
of
art.
F
We
have
the
opportunity
to
go
out
and
seek
specific
vendors,
which
is
about
a
billion
dollars
which
is
source
scible
spending,
rehab
the
opportunity
to
go
out
and
find
different
vendors,
which
is
not
a
small
amount
of
money
between
2013
and
2016
you'll
find
online
that
there's
a
spend
diversity
dashboard.
It's
on
our
city's
website.
F
Additional
work
continues
through
the
supplier,
diversity
efforts
to
expand
opportunities
for
businesses
to
do
education
for
businesses
around
how
to
plug
into
the
work
place.
They've
actually
were
recently
released.
A
small
business
portal,
which
is
will
she'll
come
up
a
little
bit
later
in
the
presentation,
but
I
offer
this
up
to
say
that
a
lot
of
work
has
been
happening
in
work,
as
continues
to
happen.
F
In
addition
to
that,
our
civil
rights
department
has
a
long
history
with
their
Contra
compliance
division
of
ensuring
that
we
have
women
and
minorities
were
represented
in
in
capital
contracts
with
the
city.
And
lastly,
this
year
our
budget
office
has
introduced
a
new
equity
assessment
and
our
budget
process
for
those
of
us
who
are
submitting
budget
requests
have
the
opportunity
and
the
expectation
that
we're
thinking
about
our
budget
requests
and
asking
answering
critical
questions
around
how
that
ask
is
going
to
help
the
city
further.
Its
racial
equity
goals.
F
So
the
last
section
in
here
is
around
those
external
racial
equity
efforts.
Again,
it's
a
broad
pool
of
work.
That's
happening
here
for
the
four
e's
we've
segmented,
this
into
three
broad
categories.
What
are
we
doing
around
economic
inclusion,
which
can
be
anything
from
housing
or
from
jobs?
And
we've
looked
at
community
health
and
safety
and
as
well
engagement,
a
collaborative
decision-making
opportunities.
F
Surround
economic
inclusion,
so
there's
a
work
that
C
ped
has
been
doing.
C
ped
has
their
homeownership
strategies
that
are
expanding
access
to
homeownership,
for
those
have
historically
been
locked
out
due
to
past
discriminatory
policies
and
practices.
There's
a
variety
of
home
programs
that
the
cpad
is
leading
in
that
regard.
In
addition
to
that,
they
are
expanding
their
outreach
to
different
contractor
developer
partners
and
encouraging
smaller
women
and
minority-owned
businesses
to
participate.
So
there's
some
data
there.
That
speaks
to
their
numbers.
F
F
In
addition
to
see
ped
our
city
coordinators
office
took
a
leadership
role
with
the
minimum
wage
and
earn
sick
and
save
time
ordinance
and
as
well
as
a
small
business
team,
and
there
should
be
the
small
business
portal
which
got
moved
down
to
the
innovation
team
section,
but
that
work
has
stemmed
out
of
the
city
coordinators
office.
F
So
how
do
we
take
this
information
from
those
who
are
who
are
consumers
of
our
services
and
help
to
shape
the
work
that
we're
doing
internally?
Secondarily,
the
rental
housing
work
that
the
innovation
team
has
done
in
collaboration
with
other
city
departments
like
regulatory
services
has
really
helped
to
trance
to
transform
the
ways
in
which
we
are
doing
cheering
for
rental
housing,
holding
landlords
accountable,
but
then
also
supporting
our
tenants
in
the
process.
The
civil
rights
department
is
doing
work
around
understanding,
women
and
minority-owned
businesses
and
the
opportunities
that
we
have
inside
the
city
marketplace.
F
Our
Assessors
office
has
over
the
course
of
the
last
the
last
few
years.
Really
been
looking
at
both
the
tax
relief
program,
but
also
looking
at
their
home
valuations
and
helping
to
make
sure
that
those
community
members
who
often
are
not
native
English
speakers
and
who
may
be
more
hesitant
to
engage
with
city
government,
understand
the
process
of
being
able
to
can
test
their
housing
valuations
if
they,
if
they
need
to
do
so.
And
then.
F
Community
Health
and
Safety
is
a
pretty
broad
bucket
of
work,
so
I'm
going
to
speak
pretty
highly
to
the
work
that's
happening
here.
A
lot
of
what
you'll
see
here
are
both
policy
moves
that
are
happening.
There
are
engagement
opportunities
that
are
happening
around,
for
instance,
like
the
Civil
Rights
hate
crime
hotline.
F
There
are
ways
in
which
departments
like
Emergency,
Management
or
Fire
Department
are
providing
education
to
community
members
around
their
own
safety.
The
Health
Department
has
a
variety
of
different
programs
around
group,
violence,
intervention
and
healthy
living
initiatives,
as
well
as
the
food
lodging
and
pools
partnerships
that
are
meant
to
expand,
opportunity
and
grow.
The
health
of
our
different
communities
in
Minneapolis.
F
Our
Police
Department
is
in
the
process
of
rolling
out
a
set
of
community
stakeholders
and
community
partners
who
are
going
to
be
people
coming
from
community
to
deepen
our
ability
to
provide
community-based
policing
with
with
different
with
different
community
members,
as
well
as
the
police
activities.
League
is
another
program
that
the
police
department
has
run
for
quite
some
time
that
has
engaged
residents
and
youth
from
across
our
city,
particularly
from
communities
of
color
and
from
Little
earth.
F
And
then,
lastly,
engagement
a
collaborative
decision-making-
this
is
another
really
big
bucket,
and
these
are
probably
I.
Hopefully,
these
are
not
overly
artificial
buckets.
To
put
this
work
in,
like
I,
said,
there's
a
lot
of
work.
That's
happening
across
4,000
people
in
20
plus
departments,
but
the
engagement
of
collaborative
decision
making
bucket
is
meant
to
reflect
the
ways
in
which
we
are
doing
intentional
engagement
in
communities
of
color.
F
But
it's
also
meant
to
showcase
the
times
and
opportunities
when
we're
creating
tables
to
invite
our
residents
to
actually
have
a
voice,
shaping
the
policies
and
the
practices
that
are
defining
our
work
so
in
the
division
of
race
inequity.
The
recast,
minneapolis
program
that
I
mentioned
before
it
is
a
federally
funded
grant
program
that
is
really
centered
around
central
and
placing
community
in
the
decision-making
process
around
shaping
how
we
actually
spend
these
dollars
and
part
of
this
tools
that
we're
using
to
do
that
is
doing
some
training
and
healing
for
community
members.
F
We're
also
doing
some
youth
development
work
with
through
recast
and
in
the
process
of
rolling
out
a
critical
incident
response
protocol
in
partnership
with
residents
and
with
city
staff.
So
that
we
can
better
understand
how
we
show
up
for
one
another
when
bad
things
happen
and
in
the
process
of
that
identifying
community-based
solutions.
That
community
will
have
the
opportunity
to
vote
on
and
to
say
that
they
want
to
fund
the
City.
F
Lastly,
our
neighborhood
and
community
relationships,
community
relations
department,
as
I
mentioned
before,
and
there's
a
lot
of
community
based
or
a
citywide
based
capacity
building
for
city
staff
and
helping
us
plug
into
different
communities
and
part
of
the
value
that
they
bring
to
the
table
is
they're,
also
able
to
help
us
engage
directly
as
if
it's
about
moving
out
a
new
policy
initiative.
It's
about
training
or
the
conference
that
they
do
every
single
year
with
the
community
connections
conference.
F
Their
role
is
really
about
helping
to
make
sure
that
our
city
processes
are
informed
by
different
communities
that
we
serve
and
that
we're
growing
our
capacity
to
work
with
these
communities
directly
Public
Works,
as
the
department
has
been
doing
soon.
If
you
can
outreach
around
recycling
and
organics
and
lots
of
different
opportunities
that
are
listed
here,
I
will
lift
up
the
work
of
the
promise
zone
in
particular,
and
not
just
because
Julie
and
I
are
work.
F
Wives,
but
but
Julie
is
doing
some
really
forward-thinking
work
in
North,
Minneapolis
and
engaging
community
members
so
that
we
can
make
the
city
of
Minneapolis
both
accessible
and
transparent
to
the
residents
that
we
serve.
F
A
Any
questions
for
Miss
March
Stevens,
you
know
I-
do
want
to
just
acknowledge
that
this
this
work
is,
while
much
of
our
presentation
has
really
focused
primarily
on
on
African
Americans.
This
work
is
much
much
broader
and
until
that
in
in
2016,
the
city
of
Minneapolis
established
the
transgender
Advisory
Committee,
which
also
works
on
on
equity
issues,
and
that
that
group
is
being
sort
of
led
by
councilmember
Cunningham.
We
also
have
an
internal
transgender
equity
committee
work
group
which
I
chair.
A
The
city
has
established
the
office
of
immigration
and
immigrant
rights,
and
we
are
in
the
process
of
hiring
a
director
for
that
office
and
and
my
staff
Sarah
Lopez
has
been
really
deeply
engaged
in
the
interviewing
for
that
particular
position.
So
the
the
work
is
is
much
broader
and
really
focuses
on
trying
to
create
equity
for
everyone
here
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
but
recognizing
that
some
some
communities
are
much
more
deeply
marginalized
than
others.
A
H
The
definition
of
insanity
is
doing
the
same
thing
over
and
over
and
over
again,
yet
still
expecting
different
results.
Grazing
peace,
everyone,
my
name,
is
Leslie
Badu
and
I
had
the
honor
of
serving
as
the
president
for
the
Minneapolis
n-double-a-cp
I
am
very
excited
to
be
here
with
you
all
today.
Why
I
started
with
the
definition
of
insanity
is
because
I'm
here
today,
hoping
that
we
can
radically
think
different.
H
H
H
First,
when
we
think
about
transforming
the
way
that
we
think
about
criminal
justice,
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
all
on
the
same
page,
black
people
are
not
criminals.
Our
communities
have
been
criminalized,
whether
we're
thinking
about
the
war
on
drugs,
whether
we're
thinking
about
the
Lordaeron
and
lurking
law,
or
ordinance
that
you
all
actually
dare
repeal
so
good
job,
City
Council
or
whether
we're
thinking
about
systems
like
our
education
system,
where,
in
Minnesota
a
black
little
girl
is
eight
point
five
times
more
likely
to
be
suspended
in
her
white
female
counterpart.
H
When
we
think
about
criminal
justice,
we
have
to
think
about
what
are
some
new
incentives
that
we
can
do
to
change.
The
minneapolis
n-double-a-cp
has
more
forgiveness
days
that
we
did
in
Hennepin
County
last
year
and
we
were
able
to
forgive
250
warrants,
we're
working
with
Ramsey
County
and
may
May
the
12th
to
do
it
again.
In
addition
to
warrants
we're,
gonna
also
be
helping
people
to
reinstate
their
license.
H
Why
this
is
important
is
because
we
have
to
reimagine
how
we
look
at
communities
of
African
descent
when
I
came
to
Minnesota,
I,
didn't
know
anything
about
North,
Minneapolis
and
so
I
volunteered
at
the
Urban
league's
family
day,
and
that
was
a
year
after
my
arrival
here
to
attend
law
school.
This
was
very
disheartening
when
I.
Finally,
found
out
about
the
North
Minneapolis
community,
it
was
all
negative
now
I'm
from
the
inner
city
of
DC,
which
looks
vastly
different
than
the
North
Minneapolis
community
and
that's
a
compliment.
H
North
Minneapolis
was
nothing
like
what
I
heard
I
didn't
hear
gunshots.
All
the
time
like
its
projected
I
did
recognize
that
there
was
opportunity
for
growth,
but
if
we
are
putting
communities
in
fear
of
even
stepping
foot
in
a
community,
how
do
we
possibly
expect
for
people
to
see
these
individuals
as
human
beings?
Last
summer,
I
was
pleasantly
surprised
when
I
attended
a
meeting
that
was
actually
by
members
of
the
City
Council
or
actually
it
was
the
city
of
Minneapolis.
It
was
a
strategic
analysis
of
West
Broadway
in
a
snapshot.
H
H
Public
data
isn't
always
rapidly
available
to
everyone
and
when
I
saw
that
there
was
181
arrests
for
not
having
a
driver's
license,
I
wonder
why
haven't
we
thought
the
solution?
Why
hadn't?
We
work
together,
I'm
in
law
school,
so
I
sat
down
with
some
judges
and
we
talked
about
it
as
well.
I
am
confident
that
if
the
city
makes
the
supriya
T,
we
can
move
forward
and
we
can
actually
find
solutions
so
that
we
don't
have
people
of
African
descent
just
being
arrested
just
because
a
lot
of
it
is
a
symptom
of
poverty.
H
Even
when
you
go
and
look
at
some
of
the
other
lower
level.
Offenses
is
not
innately
that
they
are
criminal
activities.
It's
because
people
cannot
afford
a
lot
of
the
means
to
get
the
resources
that
they
need.
In
addition
to
that,
I
wanted
to
share
one
other
statistic
that
I
felt
very
interested
in.
It
was
West
Broadway,
violent
crime.
By
year
this
went
from
2007
to
2017,
and
the
numbers
were
13
for
homicide
65
for
rates
496
for
robberies
and
556
for
aggravated
assaults.
H
H
That
could
be
poured
into
the
community
when
we
recognize
that
they
can,
when
the
city
of
Minneapolis
thinks
outside
the
box,
like
it
did
last
summer
with
the
collaborative
public
safety
grants,
we
can
do
things
differently,
but
we
need
resources
that
are
for
us
and
by
us
it's
not
that
the
community
is
in
need
of
saving.
We
just
need
to
provide
opportunities
and
platforms
for
the
people
who
are
already
in
the
community.
H
We
have
programs
and
organizations
like
cleaning
for
change,
which
activates
the
community
and
goes
in,
and
not
only
do
they
clean
up
trash
in
the
community,
but
they
also
shovel
during
these
trying
times
when
so
many
of
our
citizens
were
getting
told
just
because
maybe
they
didn't
have
the
ability
physically
or
they
didn't
have
the
resources
to
be
able
to
move
their
car
in
a
timely
manner.
These
are
things
that
the
City
Council
can
act
on
and
can
partner
with
community
organizations
like
cleaning
for
change
to
change
it.
H
In
addition,
my
husband
James
by
the
L,
who
also
works
with
us
with
the
Minneapolis
and
double-a-c-p
he's
been
working
on
a
90
pre-release
program
for
the
community.
When
you
are
in
prison,
you
have
a
90
day,
pre
release
program
to
get
ready
for
the
community,
but
what
does
the
community
have
to
get
ready
for
you?
H
Secondly,
I
wanted
to
talk
to
you
all
about
economic
development
and
how
important
that
is
this
city
of
Minneapolis,
the
city
council.
You
all
have
a
great
opportunity.
First,
when
we
think
about
housing,
the
city
doesn't
have
to
just
think
on
developers
who
we
have
historically
gone
through.
The
city
can
also
build
you
all
can
focus
on
social
housing.
Will
we
put
people
over
property
and
it's
not
just
about
the
bottom
line,
but
it's
about.
H
What's
for
the
betterment
of
the
city
as
a
whole,
we
have
to
recognize
that
the
city
does
a
lot
of
work
with
nonprofits
and
this
is
no
shade
to
nonprofits.
But
the
reality
of
the
situation
is
a
lot
of
the
nonprofit's
we
have
and
our
inner-city
communities
have
executive
directors.
They
don't
look
like
the
people
that
they're
representing
in
addition
to
that.
We
know
that
that's
not
going
to
do
anything
for
wealth
outcomes
of
people
with
African
descent.
In
these
communities
we
ought
to
start
working
with
more
businesses.
H
We
have
to
start
giving
people
an
opportunity
to
be
equitable
and
to
get
up
to
where
they
could
be,
if
only
we
provided
them
with
the
opportunities.
A
lot
of
these
institutions
weren't
created
to
be
equitable
and
they
weren't
created
to
actually
reach
out
to
the
community
and
equitable
way,
so
I
think
again.
If
we
can
think
differently,
we
can
do
differently
in
terms
of
economics.
We
know
that
entrepreneurship
is
key.
H
Also,
I
wanted
to
talk
to
you
all
about
educational
opportunities,
again
we're
in
Minnesota,
which
has
historically
been
known.
So
if
you
wanted
the
healthiest
wealthiest,
most
educated
places,
but
the
question
becomes
for
who,
when
you
ask
the
community
time
and
time
again,
they
say
we
need
to
bring
vocational
training
back
into
the
community
when
we
look
at
the
black
community.
Overall
data
from
the
Department
of
Human
Services
has
said
that
African
Americans,
who
are
born
in
Minnesota
are
the
least
likely
to
receive
a
secondary
education.
H
There
are
a
number
of
reasons
for
this,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day,
this
is
our
reality.
So
what
happened?
It
abused
children
after
they
graduated
from
high
school,
and
they
can't
find
employment
because
they
haven't
been
learning
the
required
skills
that
they
need
to
be
able
to
occupy
the
jobs
that
currently
exists.
This
is
a
disservice
not
only
to
these
children
but
to
the
city
as
a
whole.
H
Again,
I
challenge
us
to
think
different
to
do
different.
We
know
that
historically,
black
colleges
produce
great
people
for
our
community.
If
we
look
right
over
our
neighboring
city
in
st.
Paul,
the
first
black
mayor,
Melvin
Carter,
went
to
an
HBCU
and
he
came,
and
he
brought
his
talents
right
back
to
his
hometown.
H
I
believe
that
if
the
city
of
Minneapolis
pour
in
to
children
of
African
descent
and
created
pipeline
programs
and
resources
and
opportunities
for
them
to
be
able
to
go
out-
and
it's
an
historically
black
colleges,
we
would
be
in
a
better
position,
because
we
know
some
of
us
are
able
to
go
out,
but
only
those
of
us
who
are
in
a
position
in
society
to
be
able
to
afford
them
again.
We
need
to
think
about
doing
things
in
an
equitable
way.
H
So
again,
I
challenge
us
to
think
about
transforming
the
way
that
we
think
about
criminal
justice,
porn
and
more
economic
development
opportunities
and
also
educational
opportunities.
I
have
faith
that
if
we
work
together
that
we
can
pour
into
not
some
communities
in
Minneapolis
but
all
communities
in
Minneapolis.
Thank
you.
A
F
So
the
future
work
that
lies
ahead
of
us
is
really
for
us
all
to
determine
together.
In
the
last
council
term,
there
was
an
adoption
of
the
race,
the
division
of
raising
equity
ordinance,
which
does
provide
some
clarity
around
a
lot
of
the
points
that
I
raised
earlier
around
how
we're
beginning
to
build
that
deeper
infrastructure.
I
definitely
want
to
lift
up
the
points
that
Miss
bodger
just
spoke
to
really
around
one
of
this
and
I
dropped.
My
pen
before
I
sat
down
so
I
wish
I'd
taken
better
notes.
But
what?
F
The
ways
in
which
we
Center
our
resources
in
supporting
these
community
based
strategies
and
really
working
collectively
with
them
at
the
onset
of
policy
development
at
the
onset
of
looking
at
our
procedures
and
our
practices
and
really
giving
them
voice
in
shaping.
That
is
that
transformative
shift
that
we
as
an
institution
need
to
take
and
not
to
say
that
that
doesn't
happen
in
different
pockets
of
the
city.
F
So
for
the
for
the
division
of
race
and
equity.
Our
charge
is
really
about
implementing
the
ordinance
that
council
adopted.
In
the
last
term.
It
centers
on
actually
developing
a
racial
equity
action
plan,
which
was
called
out
in
the
ordinance,
which
is
something
that
we
as
a
city
have
talked
about
in
the
past.
That
really
centering
that
work
more
clearly,
so
that
we
have
that
North
Star
as
a
city,
we're
clear
about
the
work
that
we're
doing
we're
clear
about
who's
doing
it.
F
That's
a
sort
of
normative
work
that
we
want
to
make
sure
is
part
of
what
we
do
in
every
single
aspect
of
our
city
that
moves
us
from
organizing
around
racial
equity
to
actually
building
some
some
sustainable
models
for
a
city
going
forward.
And
then.
Lastly,
we
are
very
enthusiastic
that
the
council
is
going
to
be
taking
an
action
date
on
the
racial
equity,
Community
Advisory
Committee.
A
I
You,
madam
chair,
some
of
my
colleagues,
may
have
more
to
say
on
the
substance,
but
I
just
wanted
to
lift
up
one
thing,
which
is
how
much
work
has
been
done
with
what
I
would
consider
such
little
resource
to
this
work
and
I.
Think
in
one
way
to
say
it
is
that
we've
relied
on
staff
of
color
to
do
more
than
I.
Think
we've
really
funded
through
our
budgets
and
I
think
a
lot
of
it
has
included
emotional
labor.
I
A
Seeing
none
I
just
want
to
thank
all
of
our
presenters
today.
For
this
incredible
presentation,
I
want
to
thank
miss
Marsh,
Stevens
and
her
staff
for
all
of
the
work
that
has
been
happening
and
to
echo
council
president
Bender's
comments
that
it
is
indeed
the
emotional
labor
that
happens
when
you
are
not
only
trying
to
address
these
deeply
systemic
issues
that
are
baked
into
our
system
over
time.
A
That
I
believe
that
the
importance
of
this
gathering
today
was
so
that
we
can
get
a
understanding
of
all
that
is
happening
within
the
city
of
Minneapolis
my
charge
and
our
charge
as
chair
of
this
subcommittee
and
members
of
this.
This
body
is
to
create
space
and
opportunities
to
focus
that
work
and
energy
in
a
way
that
moves
the
style
forward
in
in
positive
and
progressive
ways.
So,
thanks
to
all
who,
who
came
and
and.
A
Particularly
to
our
guest
speakers,
I
thought
you
guys
were
incredibly
cogent
and
and
spoke
directly
to
the
issues
that
are
impacting
our
city
on
a
daily
basis.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
for
being
here
with
that.
I
want
to
now
bring
forward
a
motion
to
accept
the
the
to
receive
and
file
these
presentations.
A
A
F
Short,
absolutely
so,
in
the
last
pencil
term,
there
was
a
resolution
passed
to
form
the
racial
equity,
Community,
Advisory
Committee,
and
that
process
of
outreach
solicited
27
applications.
Citywide.
The
goal
of
this
committee
is
threefold:
they
are
to
advise
the
City
Council
mayor
and
city
departments
on
city
policies,
practices,
budget
and
other
matters
that
it
determines
the
appropriate
related
to
addressing
racism
and
racial
inequities
and
promoting
racial
justice
and
racial
equity
in
the
city,
enterprise
and
in
the
city
as
a
whole.
F
They
are
to
help
in
the
development
of
a
racial
equity
action
plan,
in
addition
to
our
city
steering
committee
and
our
policy
makers,
and
lastly,
they
are
to
have
the
last
point.
Yes,
I
do
so
they're
supposed
to
help
support
on
the
racial
equity
implementation
and
do
an
annual
report
on
the
city's
progress
towards
meeting
its
racial
equity
goals.
So
what
we
have
in
front
of
us
today
is
a
slate
of
candidates
who
are
who
have
been
identified
through
the
application
process.
F
J
Thank
you
vice
president
president,
Jenkins
I
wanted
to
just
circle
back
and
and
because
I'm
excited
about
the
slate,
because
it
is
truly
this
work
being
institutionalized
and
it's
really
come
like.
There
are
real
human
beings
who
are
coming
into
this
work.
It's
no
longer
just
a
resolution,
but
it's
actually
real
work.
So
I
just
wanted
to
name
that.
Thank
you
so
much
for
all
of
your
hard
work
for
the
whole
team.
Thank
you
much.
As
was
said,
it
is
being
a
city.
J
Employee
of
color
is
really
challenging
because
you
are
watching
systemic
oppression
in
motion
and
trying
to
interrupt
it
and
oftentimes
under-resourced
and
and
under
support
it,
and
so
it's
I'm,
so
grateful
for
everything
that
y'all
have
done,
because
you
have
really
laid
out
a
framework
for
us
to
be
able
to
shift
fundamentally
how
we
do
business
here
and
so
kudos
to
y'all.
Thank
you
so
much
for
for
making
it
work
and
I'm
so
excited
for
my
appointment
to
this
particular
committee,
because
I
know
he's
gonna
shake
things
out,
so
thank
you.
So
much
Thank.
A
B
Oh,
no,
that's
all
right.
I
wanted
to
speak
in
support
of
the
motion,
so
I
appreciate
it.
We
made
it.
I
also
wanted
to
express
my
appreciation
for
how
this
meeting
was
structured
and
set
up.
I
think
this
was
to
your
credit
and
the
credit
of
your
office.
Vice
president
Jenkins
and
all
the
staff
who
came
here
and
the
others
I
think
this
is
a
really
nice
pivot
point
to
start
this
term
off
and
focus
this
work
in
I
hope.
B
Everybody
acknowledges
that
this
is
the
this
subcommittee
is
made
up
of
the
entire
City
Council,
so
I
think
we
really
want
to
see
that
this
work
is
is
guided
and
from
by
all
of
us
and
also
is
embedded
into
the
entire
enterprise
into
all
the
departments.
In
all
the
work
it's
going
on,
I
was
very
impressed.
Reading
over
the
applicants,
I
think
there's
passion,
not
only
in
the
city's
dear
group.
That's
running
this,
but
also
in
the
community,
that's
getting
involved.
B
Sometimes
we
can't
even
find
the
tentacles
they
go
in
so
deep
and
now
we're
I
think
focusing
in
and
we're
gonna
figure
that
out
and
we're
gonna
untangle
this
and
we're
gonna
hopefully
solve
it,
may
be
not
only
hopefully,
but
we
are
let's
say
that,
and
let's
raise
the
bar
pretty
high
for
this
steering
committee
and
also
for
the
community
advisory
group.
We've
got
a
lot
of
work
to
do
and
we're
gonna
really
need
your
help
to
do
this.
B
C
A
The
adoption
of
the
entire
slate,
which
includes
MS
Connolly
and
all
those
in
favor
of
that
motion
signify
by
saying
aye
aye
any
opposed
that
motion
carries.
Thank
you
so
much
and
congratulations
if
any
of
our,
if
any
of
our
appointees
are
here
today
can
use,
then
just
please
stand
and
state
your
name
and
indicate
so
that
you
can
be
recognized.
Thank
you.
A
A

will
continue
with
the
remaining
Kamiya
of
the
whole
business
before
us,
which
is

receipt
of
reports
from
our
standing
committees
on
matters
to
be
considered
by
the
full
City
Council
at
our

council
meeting
this
coming
Friday
and
I
do
want
to
