From YouTube: November 30, 2018 Budget Committee
Description
Minneapolis Budget Committee Meeting - Budget Markup
A
It
looks
like
this.
It
doesn't
have
any
big
documents
on
it.
That's
great.
We
will
deal
with
that
next
Wednesday,
but
you
can
put
that
aside.
What
we
are
going
to
be
doing
is
going
in
the
order
of
council
amendments
that
councilmember
Fletcher,
myself
and
director,
inter
mill
put
together
yesterday
evening.
The
intent
behind
this
order
is
to
not
supplant
other
people's
sources
of
funds.
A
B
Madam
chair
members
of
the
committee
for
the
record,
my
name
is
Micah
intramural
city
budget
director.
If
it's
the
will
of
the
committee
I'll
just
go
ahead
now.
So
if
you
brief
remarks
about
our
process
for
the
year
and
then
go
through
the
technical
amendment,
seeing
no
objections.
Thank
you
for
this
opportunity
to
present
the
set
of
technical
and
it's
I'll
try
to
be
thorough.
Yet
brief
in
my
discussion
of
each
item
before
I.
Do
that
I
do
want
to
take
this
opportunity
to
recognize
those
who
helped
us
get
here
today.
B
And,
of
course,
none
of
this
would
come
together
without
our
team
of
capable
budget
analysts,
Robert,
Harrison,
Jeana,
Powell,
Brant,
Hahnel
and
Jeffrey
mercury,
or
without
the
steady
accounting
staff
led
by
Lyle
Hodges,
all
of
whom
work
hard
each
year
to
ensure
our
dollars
are
being
spent
both
appropriately
as
well
as
in
accordance
with
Council
Mayor
in
council
and
Mayor
intent.
Sorry
I've
been
struggling
with
the
same
coal
for
like
two
months,
because
I
have
a
young
child
at
home.
B
Our
committee
clerk
colleague
Easler,
has
kept
us
on
track
all
year.
Casey
Karl
and
Jackie
Hanson
have
prepared
us
well
for
a
successful
markup
and
adoption.
Every
department
devotes
countless
hours
to
the
budget
throughout
the
year.
I'll
stop
naming
names
in
all
cases,
but
one
MPD
finance,
director,
Robin
Macpherson,
truly
goes
above
and
beyond,
not
only
on
budget
development,
but
in
supporting
the
financial
and
administrative
operations
of
the
MPD.
B
Finally,
I
do
want
to
extend
my
thanks
to
all
of
you
and
your
staff,
the
mayor
and
his
team.
It
takes
time
and
energy
to
dig
in
understand
where
the
dollars
come
from,
where
they
go
to
how
to
leverage
those
dollars
to
affect
the
outcomes
that
Minneapolis
residents,
businesses
and
visitors
expect
desire
and
demand
you,
our
elected
officials,
have
introduced
additional
transparency
and
opportunities
for
the
public
to
engage
this
year
and
the
process
has
been,
and
outcomes
will
be
better
for
that.
B
It's
been
a
long
week
in
this
chamber,
so
I
will
stop
there,
but
it
truly
does
take
a
village
to
get
this
done.
So,
thank
you.
So,
at
this
point,
I
will
review
each
item
on
the
technical
amendment
number
one
in
the
order
that
they're
listed.
Please
stop
me
at
any
point.
If
you
have
questions
item
a
is
correcting
the
2024
bond
levy
figure
in
the
five-year
financial
direction.
This
is
purely
correcting
an
error
in
developing
the
book.
A
wrong
number
was
entered,
and
this
corrects
for
that
item.
B
B
incorporates
action
taken
by
counsel
that
occurred
earlier
this
year,
but
after
the
publication
of
the
mayor's
recommendation
to
extend
the
consolidated
TIF
district
through
the
end
of
2019,
this
also
authorizes
early
retirement
of
the
Target
Center
debt.
This
action
does
not
change
any
payments
to
neighborhood
groups.
B
Item
C
adjusts
the
pool
tip
sources
used
to
fund
a
large
portion
of
the
recommended
investments
in
the
affordable
housing
package
proposed
by
the
mayor
mark
Winkle,
Haggar,
director
of
development
finance
made
these
adjustments
after
rechecking
his
work
item
d,
corrects
the
solid
waste
and
recycling
fund
financial
plan
to
conform
with
the
general
fund
5-year
financial
direction.
This
relates
to
a
three
hundred
and
twenty
five
thousand
dollar
annual
transfer,
which
is
fixed
at
that
amount
for
graffiti
removal.
Each
year,
item
e
corrects
for
an
errand
naming
the
pension
fund
transfer
schedule.
B
This
simply
reflects
council's
original
intent
to
recall
a
general
fund
backstop
that
is
no
longer
needed
in
the
pension
funds.
I
think
we
discussed
that
at
length
item
F,
reduces
revenues
and
expenses
associated
with
providing
accounting
services
to
the
Municipal
Building
Commission
or
NBC.
Earlier
this
year,
NBC
chose
to
hire
that
function
in-house,
so
we're
no
longer
charging
the
NBC
for
that
work,
nor
employing
an
accountant
to
do
that.
Work.
The
reduction
in
staff
was
handled
through
attrition
and
the
separation
between
the
city
and
NBC
for
the
the
work
was
amicable
item.
B
G
moves
anticipated
multi-year
expenditures
from
the
general
fund
to
a
special
Revenue
Fund.
This
treatment
is
favored
from
a
financial
management
standpoint,
as
it
relates
to
our
fun
balance
and
contingency
requirements,
and
a
better
reflects
policymaker
intent
item
H,
corrects
for
an
omission.
We
will
begin
paying
the
debt
borrowed
earlier
this
year
for
construction
of
the
new
office
building.
B
Next
year,
funds
have
been
collected
in
the
property
services
fund,
but
we
didn't
make
a
corresponding
transfer
to
the
debt
funds
to
make
the
payment
item
I
corrects
for
changes
related
to
bond
sales
that
occurred
after
the
publishing
of
the
mayor's
recommend
a
budget
book.
Our
team
makes
our
best
assumptions,
but
each
year
we
need
to
make
adjustments
once
we
know
what
debt
has
been
issued.
B
All
of
those
items
reflect
the
final
floor
agreement
which
council
approved
and
mayor
signed
off
on
earlier
this
year
that
action
happened
after
the
mayor
made
his
recommendation
on
the
budget
and
as
the
expenditures
will
occur
next
year,
we
need
to
just
incorporate
them
into
the
document.
This
authorizes
expenditures
agreed
to
be
reimbursed
by
the
host
committee
and
it
reflects
revenues
associated
with
that
agreement.
B
B
The
second
component
of
that
amendment
package
is
substantive,
making
changes
to
the
computer-aided
mass
appraisal,
change
item
or
cama,
providing
ongoing
funding
for
this
system
so
that
work
can
begin
early
next
year
and
paying
for
that
ongoing
spending
by
first
eliminating
the
principal
principal
appraiser
change
item
from
the
Assessor
recommendation.
Second,
eliminating
the
operating
budget
adjustment
change
item
for
the
Assessor
in
third
making
modest
cuts
to
all
departments
which
receive
general
fund
dollars
for
IT
expenditures
by
between
one
thousand
to
ten
thousand
dollars,
depending
on
their
level
of
general
fund
support.
B
A
A
You
so
I'll
just
do
it
I'll
ask
for
a
voice
vote
all
those
in
favor
of
approving
the
technical
amendment
from
the
chair
for
the
2019
recommended
budget.
Please
say:
aye
aye
opposed
that
carries
item
number
2
is
a
renter
support
amendment
and
it
will
be
explained
and
brought
forward
by
councilmembers,
Bell,
bender
and
Ellison,
and
councilmember
bender
will
speak
with
them.
Thank.
D
You,
madam
chair
I,
think
most
council
members,
especially
the
ones
on
the
HPD
and
EDRs
committee,
know
that
we've
been
talking
about
ways
that
we
can
better
support.
Renters
through
legal
protection
and
I'll,
be
brief,
but
I
want
to
make
two
points
about
this
number.
One
is
that
if
we
are
to
see
the
impact,
the
new
regulations
and
the
existing
laws
that
we
have
that
protect
renters
from
eviction
and
to
make
sure
that
they're
living
and
safe
housing,
that
is
in
well
repair,
we
really
need
to
invest
an
enforcement
and
the
enforcement
of
this.
D
These
policies
are
really
through
the
courts
and
there's
been
some
pilot
work
done
through
city
funds,
County
funds
and
foundations.
The
pohlad
foundation
and
others
have
invested
in
pilots
that
look
at
the
impact
of
having
legal
protection
for
renters
in
the
courts,
and
it
is
dramatic,
low-income
renters
that
have
a
lawyer
or
other
legal
services
like
mediation
in
the
courts,
have
much
better
outcomes,
they're
much
less
likely
to
be
evicted
if
they
are
needing
to
leave
their
home.
D
They
have
more
time
to
move
and
there's
also
been
a
lot
of
success
in
getting
eviction,
filings,
called
yuji's
or
unlawful
detainers
off
people's
records,
and
we've
heard
so
many
compelling
stories
about
the
impact
of
having
AUD
on
your
record
and
how
hard
that
makes
it
to
get
into
housing
in
the
future.
So
this
is
a
pretty
given
the
scope
of
the
investment
in
housing
this
year,
a
pretty
modest
shift
from
the
trust
fund
into
a
fund
that
would
go
to
augment
the
amount
of
money
that
we
are
providing
for
renters
to
have
legal
protection.
D
We've
put
it
in
the
city
coordinators
office
as
kind
of
a
placeholder.
We
know
that
our
staff
in
regulatory
services,
in
the
housing
section
of
CPD
and
in
the
City
Attorney's
Office
all
touch
this
work,
so
that
will
just
be
a
matter
of
deciding
who
will
be
managing
these
contracts,
but
for
now
we've
placed
it
in
the
city,
coordinators,
office
and
I.
Think
as
Nora
Ellis
and
I
would
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
D
E
You
very
much
sure
I
think
I
think
this
sounds
great
I'm,
just
a
little
bit
confused
about
what's
actually
happening
when
I'm
reading
the
amendment
I.
So
it
says
we're
amending
the
budget
for
regulatory
Services
Department
on
a
one-time
basis
and
but
then
the
money
seems
to
be
we're
increasing
and
then
I
think
it's
for
increasing
the
revenue
budget
not
in,
but
for
the
affordable
housing.
Trust
fund
change
item
by
$500,000,
just
a
five
hundred
thousand
then
come
out
of
the
regulatory
services
departments
budget
and,
if
so,
from
what.
B
B
If
the
council
president
agrees,
we
correct
this
motion
to
read
amending
the
2019
mayor's
recommended
budget
for
the
city
coordinator
and
community
planning
and
economic
development,
CPD
departments
on
a
one-time
basis,
reducing
the
expenditure
budget
for
the
affordable
housing,
trust
fund
change,
item
in
C
ped
by
$500,000
and
creating
a
new
renter
support
change
item
in
City
coordinator.
The
city
coordinator
shall
enter
into
contracts
totaling
at
least
$500,000,
to
provide
mediation
and
legal
support
services
for
low-income
renters
facing
eviction.
B
The
appropriation
in
City
coordinator
is
one-time
only
so
the
the
intent
of
this
amendment
as
I
understand
it
from
the
council
president
and
again,
I
would
like
her
to
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
but
is
to
move
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
from
the
affordable
housing
trust
fund
change
item
to
the
city
coordinators
office.
For
this
renter
support
item
again,
the
the
initial
recommendation
from
the
mayor
was
for
the
affordable
housing
trust
fund
dollars
to
be
one
time,
and
the
renter
support
item
is
one
time.
I.
E
Appreciate
that
a
great
deal
now,
there
is
much
more
clear,
I
understand
what
you
were
taking
money
from
the
affordable
housing
trust
fund
to
support
another
housing
effort.
I
think
it
makes
sense,
there's
a
real
nexus
there
and
I'd
be
comfortable
with
it
either
in
the
city
coordinator
or
in
rate
services
and
I
understand.
The
council
president
saying
city
coordinator
will
likely
work
with
right
services
and
others
to
to
get
this
done.
So,
thanks
for
letting
me
get
some
clarity
on
the
amendment,
Thank.
F
You,
madam
chair
I,
will
be
supporting
this,
but
I
don't
like
taking
money
from
housing
for
other
types
of
housing.
We
need
all
of
it.
We
definitely
need
every
penny
we
can
get
in
the
affordable,
housing
trust
fund,
and
that
said,
you
know:
I
commend
councilmember,
bender
and
Ellison
for
just
pointing
out
the
great
need
so
I
I
will
be
supporting
this,
but
I
hope
we
can
find
new
money
in
future
budgets.
G
You
ma'am
sure
I'm
also
supporting
this
today.
I
want
to
say
two
things
about
it
with
regard
to
where
it
lies.
I'm,
given
that
our
regulatory
Services
Director
has
just
departed
that
we're
working
on
a
complete
redo
of
our
rental
housing,
licensing
and
inspection
system
that
pork
in
Keller
is
going
to
have
to
be
dealing
with.
It
makes
sense
for
right
now
for
it
to
be
in
the
coordinators
office,
but
I
don't
think
over
time.
It
should
be
then
I'll.
Also
just
note
and
I
know.
G
The
mayor
has
made
a
lot
of
great
progress
with
getting
volunteer
lawyers
to
help
with
this,
but
that's
only
gonna
last
for
a
certain
amount
of
time.
I
think
we
need
to
have
some
sort
of
system
in
place.
A
safety
net
as
I
would
say
to
make
sure
that
we
can
keep
people
in
their
houses
that
costs
a
lot
less
than
25
to
35
thousand
per
unit
were
currently
subsidizing
developers
to
build
affordable
housing.
A
Thank
you,
I
put
myself
in
queue
just
to
ask
one
question:
I
appreciate
that
this
is
the
intent
of
this
is
to
move
it
to
the
city
coordinators
office
and
I
was
just
curious.
Is
there
a
specific
role
or
or
person
in
the
department
that
would
then
manage
this
money?
Is
that
an
amendment
coming
later,
I'm,
just
curious
and
I
guess
I'll
yield
that
question
to
the
others.
Thank.
D
You,
madam
chair,
it's
a
great
question.
We
you
know
frankly
I
think
in
in
the
next
year
it
we
could
benefit
from
formalizing
what
has
become
an
informal
group
of
staff
that
are
working
on
renter
protections.
So
of
course,
our
housing
director
Andrea
Brennan
staff
from
regulatory
services,
whether
the
director
or
someone
you
know
that
has
been
sent
by
the
but
purgatory
Services
Department
and
the
coordinators
offered
an
office.
It
has
been
the
deputy
city
coordinator
that
has
been
helping
out
with
this
work
and
then,
of
course,
the
City
Attorney's
Office
as
well.
D
So
I
would
imagine
that,
given
what's
happening
so
far
with
that
staff
team,
that's
working
very
closely
together
and
very
collaboratively
on
policy
change
and
and
frankly,
I'm
the
kind
of
internal
work
that
councilmember
Goodman
described
that
it
would
be
Danielle
the
deputy
city
coordinator,
who
would
be
the
staff
person
coordinating
with
regulatory
service?
You
see
ped
and
the
City
Attorney's
Office.
H
One
thing
becomes,
president
for
all
the
work
and
for
answering
that
last
question
and
just
wanted
to
put
in
perspective
for
folks
that
we
were,
you
know,
as
we've
been
digging
into
this
issue
and
talking
to
legal
experts.
There's
some
estimations
that
if
we
wanted
to
give
folks
in
Minneapolis
renters
in
Minneapolis
a
right
to
counsel,
that
means
every
every
renter
in
housing
court
what's
covered,
that
would
cost
somewhere
between
four
and
five
million
dollars
right
and
so
I
think
that
this
this
is
a.
This
is
a.
H
H
A
The
city
coordinator
shall
enter
into
contracts
totaling
at
least
$500,000,
to
provide
mediation
and
legal
support
services
for
low-income
renters
facing
eviction.
The
appropriation
and
city
coordinators
office
is
one-time-only.
I
think
that
with
the
city
clerk
I,
don't
think
we
need
to
take
a
vote
to
amend
this
and
we're
just
moving
it
forward.
As
I've
just
stated.
Are
there
any
further
questions
or
comments
from
people
seeing
none
I'll,
all
those
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
aye
opposed
that
carries
for
item
number.
A
H
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
We
are
going
to
be
I
will
just
read
the
amendment
as
written
here.
This
is
a
motion
amending
the
2019
mayor's
recommended
budget
for
the
regulatory
Services
Department
increasing
the
revenue
budget
in
the
rental
repair
revolving
fund
by
2
million
dollars
and
increasing
the
expenditure
budget
in
the
rental
repair
revolving
fund
by
2
million
dollars,
regulatory
services
and
finance
and
property
services.
H
You
know
I
not
to
get
too
anecdotal,
but
you
know
when
I
first
got
into
office.
The
whole
city,
myself
included,
inherited
the
some
some
tra
s,
both
in
the
Steve
French
portfolio
and
the
makha
Bucha
portfolio,
and
what
we
found
was,
as
we
were,
trying
to
support
renters.
We
were
a
finding
ourselves
engaged
in
these
tra
s
after
license.
D
You
know
in
the
sort
of
progression
of
disrepair.
So
these
properties
that
were
owned
by
friends
and
cons
should
never
have
gotten
into
the
state.
They
were,
and
it's
very
expensive
for
the
city
to
go
through
this
license
for
the
vacation
process,
which
has
huge
impacts
on
our
constituents
who
are
then
being
coming
displaced
from
their
homes.
D
You
know
and
then
doing
the
work
to
try
to
make
sure
that
we
find
people,
housing
and
income
tomorrow,
Ellison
and
Goodman
work
together
to
to
try
to
help
these
renters
that
we're
getting
displaced.
But
we
need
to
do
a
much
better
job
of
going
upstream
and
making
sure
that
rental
properties
never
get
into
that
state
in
the
first.
D
Please
and
the
mentor
first
policy
that
working
on
with
rec
services
and
the
other
departments
mentioned
will
really
state
that
rental
housing
in
our
city
is
an
asset
that
we
need
to
make
sure
as
well
maintained
in
a
city
that
has
over
half
of
our
constituents
who
are
renting.
We
need
to
make
sure
that
rental
housing
stock
is
safe
for
people
to
be
living
in,
and
so
this
will
allow
us,
it's
really
a
budget
neutral
thing
over
the
long
term,
because
we
get
this
money
back.
D
So
this
is
money
that
the
city
puts
in
to
repairing
housing
when
needed
when
we're
bringing
a
tenant
remedy
actions
against
problem
landlords,
and
then
we
get
the
money
back
from
the
landlord
through
their
courts
or
through
a
mediation
process.
So
this
will
allow
us
to
start
again
to
bring
these
ten
innate
tenant
remedy
actions
earlier
on
behalf
of
renters
in
our
city,
who
are
living
in
rental
properties
that
are
in
decline.
I
just
want
to
thank
councilman
Ellison
for
his
leadership
in
this.
I
Thank
You,
chair
Palmisano
I
just
want
to
express
my
enthusiasm
for
this
idea
as
a
community
organizer
and
a
housing
advocate
many
years
ago,
I
I
saw
firsthand
so
many
cases
where
this
would
have
prevented
displacement
and
so
having
the
ability
to
make
repairs,
while
someone's
still
living
in
it
and
maintain
homes
as
habitable,
so
that
people
aren't
just
placed
in
the
first
place
is
a
really
important
idea
and
a
really
important
thing
for
us
to
invest
real
money
in
and
so
I
I
really
appreciate
this
initiative.
Thank
you
for
your
work
on
this
great.
J
Thank
you,
madam
president,
met
I
met
him
Thank
You,
chair
I'm,
wondering
if
the
staff
could
help
me
get
a
sense
of
what
is
the
current
level
of
funding
in
the
rental
repair
revolving
fund
I'm,
supporting
of
this
I'm
supporting
this
amendment,
I
would
just
love
to
know
like
how
much
money
is
there
now
and
like.
Where
is
it
going?
How
much
money
did
we
use
this
year,
because
a
two
million
dollar
increase
is
amazing
and
I'm.
Just
curious,
if,
like
the
current
rental
repair
revolving
fund
has
like
$100,000
in
it
$200,000?
J
How
often
is
it
used
this
year?
How
much,
how
much
money
do
landlords
get
taxed
on
this
and
like?
Are
we
expecting
an
increase
in
taxing
for
them
in
the
next
round?
It's
just
all
information
that
I
just
would
like
to
know
I'm
definitely
supportive
of
this
motion,
but
would
love
to
just
find
out.
What's
the
current
balance
in
the
rental
repair
revolving
fund,
that's.
B
Madam
chair
councilmember
Cano
all
good
questions,
so
let
me
try
and
address
all
of
them
and,
if
I
miss
any
trust
you
let
me
know
so
earlier
this
year
the
the
fund
started
with
a
hundred
and
sixty
thousand
dollars
available.
Eighty
thousand
dollars
approximately
has
been
used
this
year,
leaving
a
balance
of
eighty
thousand
dollars
to
be
used
in
the
future
of
where
this
amendment
not
included.
B
This
amendment
would
increase
then
roughly
on
January
1
there'd
be
2
million
80,000
available
to
make
these
rental
repairs,
and
so
the
the
fund,
then
much
like
Street
assessments,
dollars
are
put
out
and
then
recouped.
That's
that's.
The
revolving
part
of
this
revolving
fund
dollars
are
recouped
through
assessing
the
cost
of
those
repairs
back
to
the
owners
of
the
properties.
So
there
there
would
not
necessarily
be
a
tax
increase,
but
there
would
be
assessed
property
tax
assessments
levied
against
those
those
owners
for
the
repairs
to
their
buildings
do.
B
Madam
chair
councilmember
Cano
right
now,
the
the
policy
with
regard
to
the
use
of
this
fund
is
purely
laid
out
in
ordinance
as
required
in
this
amendment,
though,
staff
from
finance
and
property
services
and
regulatory
services
is
required
to
come
back
with
stronger
policy
considerations,
I
believe,
precisely
because
we,
the
amendment,
increases
the
available
folds
by
10
fund
our
available
funds
by
tenfold.
The
goal
is:
have
some
stronger
policy
language
around
that,
so
staff
will
be
putting
together
that
policy
language,
whether
or
not
it
will
include
any
prohibitions,
is
yet
to
be
seen.
Okay,.
H
H
K
Chair
Palmisano
comes
Merrill's,
and
I
can
understand
some
of
the
uncertainty
about
this.
I
would
I
would
say
we
have
a
couple
of
analogous
situations
in
the
city.
One
would
be,
for
example,
housing,
improvement
areas
where
there
are
assessment,
like
charges
for
a
housing
development.
There
is
a
process
laid
out
in
state
law
for
that,
but
the
city
has
a
policy
on
top
of
that
in
terms
of
our
level
of
process
and
security.
That
would
be
necessary
for
what
is
essentially
a
financing.
K
As
director
animal
referred
to
and
I
think
that
is
where
we
are
encouraging
counsel
at
this
time
to
to
focus
the
energy
into
developing
this
policy,
so
that
you
can
all
be
assured
of,
for
example,
how
much
per
unit
would
be
allocated
as
a
maximum.
What
the
term
of
repayment
would
be,
what
implications
as
councilmember
Cano
mentioned
would
have
upon
rents,
so
at
least
from
our
perspective
and
Finance
perspective.
K
This
is
simply
an
authorization
in
these
funds,
but
we
are
not
going
to
move
forward
with
any
allocation
of
funds
until
these
policies
are
developed
and
you
as
a
council
can
have
some
understanding
about
when
we
would
be
repaid.
How
would
we
be
repaid
and
what
risks
would
come
with
that
for
both
the
city
and
for
renters?
Thank.
A
E
So,
just
to
be
clear,
I
guess
we
can
take
some
comfort
because
we're
saying
we're
gonna
increase
the
revenue
budget
in
the
rental
repair
revolving
fund,
which
means
we're
going
to
allow
them
to
accept
and
keep
in
the
fund
up
to
two
million
dollars.
We're
not
actually
front-loading
the
fund,
January
1
at
all.
E
It's
still
going
to
have
the
80,000
and
the
to
work
with,
but
as
those
assessments
get
paid
back
and
as
the
policy
gets
developed,
we
will
allow
the
revenue
that
fund
to
collect
revenues
and
keep
them
in
the
program
up
to
two
million
dollars.
So
with
that
kind
of
understanding,
I
think
I'm.
Supportive
of
this
idea,
but
I
think
we're
all
smart
to
think.
We
want
to
see
the
guidelines
and
the
policy
written
out
and
weigh
in
and
clarify
that,
as
it
goes
forward.
G
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
That's
exactly
what
I
was
going
to
say,
unlike
other
things
in
the
budget.
This
actually
says.
Please
come
back
to
us
by
this
date
and
tell
us
what
the
program
objectives
are
and
how
this
is
going
to
operate,
and
please
weigh
in
on
the
specifics,
because
there
are
a
few
things.
I
have
concerns
about.
I
would
not
call
this
comparable
to
the
housing.
Improvement
District
Housing,
Improvement
Districts
are
voluntary,
where
the
building
has
a
bunch
of
problems.
G
The
neighbors
have
to
sign
like
75%
of
all
the
neighbors
have
to
sign,
and
then
they
get
assessed
to
fix
the
repairs
in
this
situation.
You
have
a
bad
landlord.
You
don't
want
to
make
the
repairs
so
we're
coming
in
to
do
it
for
them
and
we
don't
want
them
to
benefit.
We
don't
want
property
owners
to
turn
around
and
let
tuckpointing
go
or
allow
major
structural
problems
to
happen
and
then
say:
hey
we'll
come
in
and
fix
it.
The
most
important
thing
is
we'll
come
in
and
fix
it.
G
Cuz
you're
screwing
your
tenants
and
we're
gonna
have
to
come
back
and
assess
you
for
it.
So
those
things
are
not
comparable
ones:
volunteers,
I,
think
one's
not,
but
in
the
end
the
important
thing
is
that
EDRs
and
housing
policy
will
come
back
and
talk
about
these
things
and
talk
about
how
it's
going
to
work,
because
when
we
spend
money
in
the
city,
the
City
Council's
responsibilities
have
program,
guidelines
and
and
and
weigh
in,
and
how
these
things
happen.
G
We're
not
just
a
grant
maker
and-
and
this
will
come
up
in
other
parts
of
our
discussion
today
too
I
think
it's
important
for
people
to
feel
open
to
start
new
programs
without
the
support
of
staff.
But
then
we
have
to
have
staff
intervene
to
give
us
a
sense
of
how
we
can
make
this
happen,
and
so
I
do
think
that
this
is
probably
something
we
need
to
do
as
long
as
we're,
conscious
of
not
rewarding
bad
landlords
by
fixing
their
property
for
them.
I.
D
D
We
really
wanted
to
have
the
transparency
of
bringing
it
in
this
way
because
we
are
actually
in
them
involved
currently
in
developing
to
potential
tenant
remedy
actions
that
could
rely
on
funds
like
this,
so
I
think
it
just
gives
us
a
chance
to
be
proactive
as
a
council
in
recognizing
that
these
kinds
of
funds
are
likely
to
be
needed
in
the
near
future
next
year,
and
also,
even
though
this
is
a
pretty
aggressive
timeline
for
staff.
So
thank
you.
D
It's
asking
them
to
come
back
very
early
next
year
with
an
update
on
the
kinds
of
policies
that
we
could
have
in
place
to
decide
when
we
want
to
use
these
and
I
think
that
will
give
us
the
chance
to
address
a
lot
of
the
concerns
that
council
members
are
raising
about
the
policy
issues
around
problem
properties.
So
councilmember
Kondos
points
about
how
do
we
best
support
renters
who
are
living
in
buildings
that
are
low-rent
because
they've
been
in
disrepair?
D
And
how
do
we
make
sure
that
we're
not
when
we
make
sure
that
people
are
living
in
safe
quality
housing
that
were
not,
then
also
ignoring
the
part
about
rents
rising?
And
we
have
a
lot
of
strategies
in
place
to
try
to
support
mentors
in
that
scenario,
but
I
agree.
We
need
to
make
sure
that
that
is
part
of
this
program
and
all
programs
that
we're
talking
about
with
problem
rental
properties,
so
I
guess
I
would
just
end
with
a
kind
of
an
open
invitation
to
work
with
councilmember,
Ellison
and
I
on.
D
J
You,
madam
chair,
again,
really
supportive
of
this
really
appreciate.
Just
the
bold
step
forward
on
this
I
did
just
send
an
email,
the
staff
to
see
if
we
can
make
sure
that
this
is
aligned
with
our
city's
efforts
to
meet
our
racial.
Our
racial
equity
goals
around
contracting,
because
if
the
city
uses
this
rental
repair
revolving
fund
to
hire
folks
to
go,
make
repairs
on
buildings
that
are
either
being
neglected
by
landlords
or
other
issues.
C
You,
madam
chair
I,
would
like
just
to
commend
the
council
president
bender
and
council
member
Allison
for
their
work
on
both
mock-up
number,
two
that
we
previously
passed
and
number
three
and
the
fact
that
we
are
now
for
the
first
time
in
a
long
time,
putting
a
focus
on
renters
and
as
somebody
who
has
you
a
world
that
has
80%
renters
and
very
diverse
working
class.
You
know,
rent
renters
have
never
had
that
this
much
attention
so
I
commend
both
the
councilmembers
and
look
forward
to
partnering
with
them
in
the
future.
H
H
Let
the
city
attorney
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
but
be
sort
of
mitigated
through
the
nature
of
the
TRA,
which
is
you
know
that
when
we
entered
into
a
tra
rents
are
not
collected
by
the
landlord
you
know,
and
this,
but
also
sometimes
the
rents
themselves
cannot
cover
the
cost
of
the
repairs
needed,
and
this
would
give
us
some
some
cushion
to
do
that
for
renters
who
are
being
abused
by
that
landlords.
So.
A
Thank
you
I
think
we're
ready
to
vote
on
this
item,
all
those
in
favor
of
of
the
vendor
ellison
amendment
for
the
rental
repay
revolving
fund.
Please
say
aye
aye
opposed
that
carries
next.
We
have
item
4,
councilmember,
Bender's,
Violence,
Prevention,
Director
position
and
I'll
turn
it
over
to
console
president
to
explain
it.
Thank.
A
I
I
But
in
my
conversations
with
colleagues,
there
were
many
of
us
who
had
inspiring
ideas
about
violence,
prevention
and
community
safety
strategies
that
went
beyond
an
investment
in
MPD
and,
as
we
looked
at
those
things
it
felt
like
it
made
sense
to
bring
them
together
into
a
package.
I
will
say
that
this
amendment
is
not
something
that
is
the
radical
shift
that
some
people
asked
for.
What
it
does
is
the
mayor's
budget
was
providing
a
2.8
percent
increase
to
their
budget.
This
would
impact
that
to
a
2.2
percent
increase
to
the
budget.
I
I
do
think
it's
responsive
to
a
lot
of
the
community
feedback
that
we
received
in
the
budget
hearings
and
so
I'll
present.
The
motion
as
its
proposed
the
motion
by
myself
and
councilmember
Cunningham,
is
to
amend
the
2019
mayor's
recommended
budget
for
the
police
department,
eliminating
the
civilian
eyes
existing
sworn
positions,
change
item
for
police,
including
reducing
the
one-time
appropriation
by
a
hundred
and
seventy
nine
thousand
dollars,
reducing
ongoing
appropriation
by
nine
hundred
and
twenty
nine
thousand
dollars
and
reducing
the
proposed
FTE
by
eight
amending
the
2019
mayor's
recommended
budget
for
the
police
department.
I
Reducing
the
this
should
read:
ongoing
I
apologize,
there's
a
there's,
a
mistake.
There,
appropriation
for
a
CO
responder
program
by
one
hundred
eighty
eight
thousand
and
increasing
the
one-time
appropriation
for
CO
responder
program
by
three
hundred
and
forty
eight
thousand.
The
police
department
shall
use
these
funds
to
expand
the
Mental
Health
Co
responder
program
to
all
precincts
in
the
city,
including
reassigning
existing
sworn
officer
positions
to
the
program
as
necessary
for
a
full
expansion
of
the
program
to
all
precincts.
I
Amending
the
2019

recommended
budget
for
the
Health
Department,
increasing
the
one-time
appropriation
for
the
office
of

item
by

adding
an
ongoing
appropriation
of
four

and
fifty
seven

including

With
these
resources,

A
Thank
you
I'm,
going
to
note
that
I
don't
see
anybody
from
I,
don't
see
Miss
Macpherson
in
the
room,
but
if
I
have
a
feeling
there
might
be
some
questions
later
if
she
and
she
enters
stage
right
I,
just
suppose
that
some
of
the
people
might
have
questions
here.
I'm
Ann
I
will
turn
this
over
to
councilmember
cutting
him.
Thank.
L
You,
madam
chair,
so
first
off
I,
just
wanted.
I
want
to
start
with
saying
that
I
want
to
own
the
fact
that
I
actually
was
the
one
who
originally
asked
the
mayor
to
include
these
civilian
ice
positions
and
the
reason
why
I
did
so
was
based
on
an
analysis
that
it
was
fiscally
responsible,
given
the
amount
of
overtime
that
officers
are
currently
clocking.
L
I
had
no
idea
when
I
made
this
original
request
that
there
were
going
to
be
two
officer-involved
shootings,
along
with
other
major
incidents
in
my
ward
in
that
time,
and
since
then,
I've
had
to
really
look
at
my
decision
around
that
request
and
focus
on
a
cost-benefit
analysis
and
really
ask
what
is
essentially
needed
and
what
were
just
things
that
were
once
the
office
of
violence.
Prevention
is
not
a
wand.
It
is
critically
necessary.
Research
tells
us
that
the
greater
intensity
of
the
interventions,
the
larger
reduction
you
see,
and
crime
and
violence.
L
They
must
spend
time
investing
in
our
prevention
and
intervention
efforts
that
are
that
our
health
department
and
PD
and
community
groups
are
working
on
and
that
are
working.
We
cannot
continue
to
be
short-sighted
and
fun
situation
based
crime
prevention
strategies
and
traditional
enforcement.
The
is
an
opportunity
to
establish
a
national
best
practice,
focus
on
our
youth
and
prevents
these
atrocities
from
happening
in
the
first
place
as
well
as
intervening
when
we
see
the
warning
signs
of
trouble.
L
L
L
This
is
this
was
a
tough
decision
for
me
to
be
able
to
to
make
and
because
of
the
fact
that,
like
I
said,
I
originally
was
the
one
who
requested
it,
but
it
felt
absolutely
necessary
for
me
to
reevaluate
it.
I
also
want
to
name
that
I
spoke
to
both
the
chief
and
the
mayor
about
this
change
item
prior
to
this.
So
they
are
not
blindsided
by
it.
The
chief
explained
that
he
understood,
of
course,
he's
a
great
guy
and,
and
also
I
spoke
to
the
mayor
as
well,
so
I
just
wanted
to.
L
Let
folks
know
that
this
wasn't
a
surprise.
This
wasn't
we
we
were
in
conversation
as
well,
so
I
hope
that
my
colleagues
will
support
this
I
think
we'll
have
the
opportunity
to
think
more
long-term
about
public
safety
from
a
law
enforcement
specific
perspective.
We
can
have
longer-term
conversations
about
that,
but
given
what
we've
seen
and
given
the
evidence
and
the
data,
this
feels
like
a
good
direction
for
us
to
look
long
long
term
more
sustainably
at
violence,
prevention
and
Public
Safety.
A
G
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I
would
say
these
lines
are
the
some
of
us,
so
it
might
not
be
a
blindside
to
the
mayor's
office,
but
I
work
in
the
office
every
day
and
I
chop
talked
to
councilmembers,
Fletcher
and
Cunningham
multiple
times
this
week,
and
never
was
this
mentioned,
so
it
doesn't
seem
like
a
blindside.
There
is
nothing
in
this
list
of
violence
prevention
initiatives
that
I
don't
support.
I,
think
all
of
those
initiatives
are
good.
G
We've
had
this
incredible
downtown
Safety
Initiative,
going
on
for
the
past
two
years,
where
the
downtown
Council
and
the
DI
D
have
worked
in
partnership
with
Youthlink
and
mad
dad's
to
provide
programming
on
Hennepin
Avenue
for
youth
and
youth
of
color
to
try
to
figure
out
how
we
can
give
them
not
only
something
to
do,
but
something
to
look
forward
to
in
terms
of
job
training
and
access
to
jobs.
That
could
have
been
something
that
was
put
into
this,
but
it
wasn't
now.
G
These
organizations
are
gonna,
have
to
fight
for
the
crumbs
of
something
that
might
be
left
somewhere
down.
The
line
so
I
have
myself
been
very
actively
involved
in
trying
to
figure
out
community-based
crime
prevention
strategies
so
to
be
blindsided
like
this
and
not
have
the
biggest
strategy
going
on
downtown
included.
I
think
is
really
disrespectful
overall,
since
none
of
these
issues
or
any
issues
that
I
have
any
disagreement
with
and
shame
on
you
for
doing
that,.
J
J
That's
a
very
big
deal,
a
lot
of
us
struggle
to
find
ongoing
sources
to
sustain
efforts,
and
so
it's
a
very
good
sign
that
that
money
is
moving
in
that
direction
and
thanks
to
the
council
for
for
adding
a
little
bit
more
bulk
of
resources
onto
that
plate.
I
will
say
that
I
want
to
encourage
all
of
us
as
policymakers
to
think
above
and
beyond
legal
services,
for
how
we
engage
with
the
immigrant
rights.
J
Conversation
and
I
know
that
we
are
in
other
ways,
but
I
want
to
remind
us
that
we
did
hire
a
director
for
the
office
of
immigrant
and
Refugee
Affairs
and
I've
been
seeing
in
other
cities.
You
know
folks,
are
rolling
out
a
25-point
platform
of
how
they're
supporting
the
immigrant
community
and
how
they're
stepping
up
on
the
plate
of
sanctuary
cities
and
I
think
that
we
have
so
much
more
to
do
in
that
realm,
above
and
beyond
a
legal
construct
which
right
now
we're
likely
not
going
to
win.
J
If
we
don't
utilize
our
resources
and
our
platform
to
build
movements
that
then
change
laws.
And
so
it's
really
hard
to
win
the
legal
framework
right
now
with
our
immigrant
community.
Because
currently
there
is
no
legal
pathway
for
many
of
our
families
to
be
here.
And
so
we
can
throw
money
at
that
problem.
J
But
it's
sort
of
a
band-aid
and
I'm
really
anxious
and
eager
to
really
put
our
office
of
immigrant
refugee
Affairs
in
a
leadership
position
in
the
region,
in
the
Midwest
and
in
the
nation
to
make
sure
that
we
are
thinking
creatively
and
taking
risks
and
how
we
advance
that
discussion
through
city
resources
in
a
way
that
builds
up
the
power
and
strength
of
the
immigrant
rights
movement
nationally
and
locally.
To
make
sure
that
we
are
bringing
forward
ideas
that
go
above
and
beyond.
J
Helping
lawyers
connect
with
immigrant
community
members
who
may
or
may
not
win
a
legal
case
in
court
and
might
end
up
being
deported
at
the
end
of
the
day.
So
just
wanted
to
put
a
brief
kind
of
note
on
that
excited
to
see
the
race,
equity,
FTE
and
then
I
just
had
a
question
about
so
there's
a
an
allocation
here
around
the
office
of
violence,
prevention
and
I.
Just
wanted
to
better
understand
that,
and
maybe
the
the
lead
authors
of
this
initiative
can
can
help
me.
J
We
had
talked
about
collaborative
safety
strategies,
program,
money
and
then
maybe
more
like
community-based
safety
strategies.
So
I
understand
you
know
the
domestic
violence,
outreach
pilot,
I,
understand
the
OPC,
our
case
investigator,
which
is
very
much
needed
and
and
good
so
I'm,
just
trying
to
to
make
sure
that
that
need
is
still
being
met
in
this
in
in
these
lists.
So
I
just
wanted
to
confirm
and
if
you
could
just
kind
of
walk
me
through
how
that
would
be
addressed
here.
I'm.
I
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I,
think
there's
two
answers
to
that.
One
is
that
I
do
think
that
the
violence
prevention
fund
is
is
intended
to
be
available
to
community
based
strategies
for
both
for
exactly
the
issues
that
you're
raising
the
other
item
in
here.
That's
a
new
item
is
the
youth
Coordinating
Board
investment,
but
specifically
in
the
state
of
Riverside,
the
Seward,
neighborhoods
and
I
think
that
that's
also
responsive
to
some
of
the
violence
prevention
need
in
that
community.
So
that's
that's
what
I
would
say.
I
L
I
would
say
that
when
we
look
at
collaborative
safety
strategies,
which
is
some
piece
of
the
funding
which
we
kind
of
assumed
will
be
included
since
that's
been
happening
now,
the
past
couple
of
years.
Those
are
the
sort
of
strategies,
much
the
same,
as
we
saw
in
this
past
year.
How
so
that's
one
example
of
work
where
there
could
be
an
investment?
Perhaps
if
you
would
like
a
more
explicit
investment,
we
can
talk
about
that
for
this
upcoming
week.
That.
J
I
think
this
is
a
pretty
significant,
unique
a
move,
and
we
should
try
to
figure
out
if
we
can
get
some
excitement
around
building
up
these
resources
by
having
a
coordinated,
ask
to
bring
folks
to
the
table
and
and
I'm
sure,
there's
a
department
within
the
city
that
helps
with
that.
We
can
tap
that.
So
thank
you
for
bringing
this
up.
A
Is
that
correct?
Yes,
it
is
plus.
The
other
piece
in
here
is
about
the
mental
health
correspondent
program
and
ensuring
that
it
goes
out
to
all
precincts
in
the
city.
Yesterday,
at
the
Public
Safety
Committee,
we
learned
that
it
takes
sworn
FTEs
to
be
moved
into
those
programs
in
order
to
run
those
programs
in
each
precinct.
I
believe
it
was
two
sworn
officers
per
cope.
Corps
responder
is
that
your.
M
Understanding
it
would
be
one
one
officer
per
so
we
would
need
there
were
three
that
were
addition
or
originally
earmarked
to
go
towards
the
coab
responder
program.
So
if
we
went
to
five
precincts
for
the
coab
responder
program,
we
would
need
it.
We
would
need
a
total
of
two
additional
officers
to
go
to
those
precincts.
M
M
M
Pretty
much
throughout
the
community
is
that
we
have
a
lack
of
investigators
in
the
investigations
Department
air
unit,
and
so
one
of
the
ideas
was
to
take
those
people
who
are
being
freed
up
and
putting
those
in
primarily
investigations
and
also
knowing
that
the
co-respondent
program
may
be
enhanced,
so
the
ability
to
take
those
officers
and
put
them
in
where
their
core
competencies
are
was
very
attractive
to
us.
The
other
thing
is
a
couple.
M
Other
considerations
that
were
made
is
that
this
is,
we
felt
the
most
cost
effective
of
limited
resources
that
we
know
are
out
there
to
increase
the
number
of
officers
who
are
actually
working
in
law
enforcement
positions.
The
positions
that
they're
in
right
now
would
very
much
our
civilian
positions
and
more
civilian
positions.
Initially,
we
want
our
civilian
positions
to
be
filled
with
civilians
for
a
couple
of
reasons.
One
is
the
professional
aspect
of
several
of
these
jobs,
especially
in
the
crime
lab,
as
well
as
the
cost
considerations.
M
A
M
The
biggest
issue
is
actually
just
base
wage,
sorry,
Dominion
that
no
I
was
pretty
much
done,
but
again
you
know.
We
know
that
we
have
a
need
in
our
investigative
unit
specifically,
and
that
is
a
need
that
we
try
to.
We
have
been
trying
to
fill
as
best
as
we
can,
but
it
does
impact
greatly
our
operations
in
those
units.
M
N
Palmisano,
so
I
am
generally
supportive
of
this
amendment
and
and
certainly
pleased
to
see
the
emphasis
on
equity
and
commitment
alternative
ways
of
thinking
about
safety
in
our
community,
particularly
from
a
community-based
standpoint.
I
am
concerned
about
investigators,
particularly
around
the
sexual
violence,
issues
that
are
in
our
city
and
that
have
not
been
able,
for
whatever
reasons
to
be
addressed,
and
so
would
ask
my
colleagues
to
really
consider
and
the
police
department.
How
can
we
increase
investigations
around
these
pernicious,
violent
activities?
N
M
Council
or
committee
chair,
Palmisano
I'm,
not
the
best
person
outside
and
I,
would
ask
DC
forces
in
office
today
and
I.
Think
if
I
could
ask
him
to
come
up,
that
would
be
great.
I
will
have
to
send
him
a
text
to
do
that,
but
I
think
that
would
be
just
from
what
limited
I
know
think
that
would
be
very
difficult
to
do.
They
don't
have
the
same
training.
They
do
not
have
the
same
legal
aspect
of
things.
D
I
myself
have
worked
with
some
to
put
money
in
for
domestic
violence
prevention,
which
I
think
is
an
important
priority,
but
I
think
this
approach
will
allow
our
staff
to
give
us
recommendations
and
to
use
an
evidence-based
approach
to
violence
prevention
and
build
off
the
amazing
work
that
the
Health
Department
has
been
doing
in
coordination
with
the
police
department,
the
City
Attorney's
Office
and
others
across
the
enterprise
to
invest
in
a
supportive
approach
to
violence
prevention.
So
I'm,
very
supportive
of
this
and
I'm
most
excited
actually
about
this.
D
Where
I
want
to
highlight
particularly
items
C,
which
is
creating
this
fund
to
allow
this
office
to
bring
us
recommendations
about
community-based
safety
strategies
about
the
for
kind
of
areas
of
violence,
prevention
that
councilmember
Cunningham
has
been
naming
so
I.
Think
that
will
cover
a
lot
of
the
things
that
council
members
have
been
adding
through
budgets
over
the
years
and-
that's
not
to
say
you
know
between
now
and
Wednesday.
H
Wanted
to
voice
that
I'm
going
to
be
supporting
this
amendment
and
a
lot
of
what
I
was
going
to
address
was
already
just
addressed
by
the
council
president.
You
know,
but
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
I
think
that
it
makes
sense
that
we're
still
addressing
Public
Safety.
You
know
if
this
was
if
this
was
just
sort
of
taking
things
and
throwing
them
at
the
wall
willy-nilly
and
we're
gonna,
be
funding
anything,
and
you
know,
and
everything
that
would
maybe
be
one
thing.
But
this
everything
that's
in
this
in
this
amendment
still
addresses
Public
Safety.
H
But
as
the
council
president
and
various
others
have
said,
we're
going
upstream
and
and
I
do
think
you
know
it's
it's
it's
frustrating
when
you
represent
Wars
life,
like
my
own,
that
do
face
some
pretty
tricky
issues
with
regards
to
safety
to
have
residents
who
are
at
one
time
wanting
to
be
able
to
lean
into
a
safety
strategy
that
they
can
believe
in,
but
at
the
same
time,
finding
themselves
increasingly
feeling
like
they
can't
call
the
police
and
so
I
and
so
I
think
it's
really
important
that
we
continue
to
go
upstream.
I!
H
Think
that
these
dollars
are
still
addressing
public
safety
and
that
that's
appropriate
and
I
just
want
to
commend
the
author's
for
working
really
hard.
I
know
that
councilman
Cunningham,
you
know,
gets
pulled
in
a
lot
of
different
directions
facing
similar
issues
in
his
ward
as
I
am
in
Ward,
5
and
I
appreciate
councillors,
Cunningham
and
Fletcher,
bringing
this
forward
and
the
the
deep
amount
of
research
and
and
and
diligence
that
you
put
into
this.
So
thank
you.
J
You,
madam
chair
I,
just
want
to
hop
on
this
celebration
train
for
a
little
bit
and
say
that
I
am
very,
very
inspired
by
your
work.
Come
summer,
Cunningham
I
feel
like
you,
have
made
really
complex
things
work
and
you
definitely
have
gained
the
respect
of
many
of
us
because
we
see
just
how
dedicated
you
are
to
your
ward
and
so
I
think
your
work
will
speak
volumes
and
I
will
say
that.
J
For
me,
this
is
sort
of
lifts,
a
burden
on
my
shoulders,
because
so
many
of
my
residents
have
been
asking
about
the
collaborative
safety
strategies,
program
and
part
of
the
challenges
at
that
program,
like
some
other
programs
kind
of
come
and
go
depending
on
the
cohort
of
leaders
that
are
elected,
and
so
it's
hard
for
some
of
those
programs
to
show
measurable
impact
and
outcomes
that
we
can
stand
behind
as
elected
officials
to
say
look,
this
is
making
a
difference.
This
isn't
just
a
pie
in
the
sky
idea.
J
So
the
the
creation
of
this
office
of
violence
prevention
under
your
leadership
is
really
going
to
leave
a
very
positive
imprint
in
city
government
and
it's
the
types
of
system
change
that
will
out
live
your
good
leadership.
My
good
leadership,
the
rest
of
ours
here
and
I
think
that
that's
really
that's
really
beautiful
I
think
that's,
that's
that's
how
we
want
to
make
sure
communities
grow
and
that's
the
kind
of
support
we
want
to
throw
behind
them.
I
thought
I
was
gonna,
see
something
else,
but
yeah.
J
A
Thank
you.
I
want
to
ask
deputy
chief
force
to
join
us
for
a
moment.
There
were
some
questions.
While
you
were
gone,
that
it
didn't
seem
appropriate
to
ask
Miss
McPherson,
one
of
them
was
a
notable
one
from
the
council
vice
president,
and
she
talked
about
the
importance
of
investigations.
Part
of
the
intention
behind
the
mayor's
budget
here
was
to
put
these
sworn
officers
that
were
in
these
previous
civilian
positions
into
the
Investigations
Unit
and
I
could
ask
her
to
restate
her
question.
In
summary,
it
was
about.
A
N
N
A
I
Thank
you
sure,
so
we're
deleting
a
change
item
that
would
have
dedicated
civilian
staff
to
that.
So
it
is
not
directed
of
how
chief
arredondo
uses
the
budget
that
he
has.
But
presumably,
if
those
eight
positions
are
mission,
critical
and
that's
the
place
that
he
wants
to
dedicate
those
staff
that
is
working.
A
So
deputy
chief
for
is
I'm
sorry
to
have
pulled
you
up
here.
It
doesn't
seem
like
there's
a
question
about
how
investigations
would
work.
Could
you
potentially
on
the
fly
theorized
how
our
investigators
could
work
with
an
office
of
violence,
prevention
to
work
on
things
like
sex
crimes
and
that
sort
of
thing
or
how
an
office
of
violence
prevention
might
work
in
collaboration
with
your
department?.
O
P
I
see
in
it.
From
my
perspective,
the
office
of
violence
prevention
really
helping
to
prevent
things
from
coming
down
the
pike
we
always
say
in
the
realm
of
special
crimes,
with
child
abuse
and
domestic
abuse
that
the
victims
of
today
are
tomorrow's
perpetrators,
because
violence
has
such
a
systemic
and
historic
impact
and
I.
Think
that,
where
the
true
value
of
the
office
of
violence
prevention
will
be
in
how
we
can
work
together
to
to
prevent
tomorrow's
crimes
from
even
occur.
I
You,
chair
Palmisano,
and
thank
you
to
all
of
my
colleagues
for
your
thoughtful
consideration
of
this
and
I
want
to
especially
respond
to
councilmember
Goodman
I
apologize
and
it
is
100%
on
me
as
a
colleague.
There
is
nobody's
office
that
I
did
not
stop
by,
but
I
didn't
happen
to
catch
you
and
that's,
not
an
excuse.
I
have
your
phone
number
I
should
have
talked
to
you
and
I
do
value
it.
I
I
Answering
questions
about
the
stuff
that
happened
at
the
very
last
minute
in
the
budget
cycle
last
time,
and
so
it
was
my
feeling
that
getting
this
forward
today
so
that
we
could
respond
to
it
so
that
people
could
see
it
and
and
have
a
chance
to
to
look
at
it
other
out
in
the
open
through
through
this
discussion,
was
the
right
thing
to
do
so.
I
am
excited
to
move
it
today.
I
think
it's
I
think
it's
the
right
thing.
I
am
still
open
to
amendments.
I
I
think
this
is
something
that
we
want
to
develop
momentum
on,
and
this
is
also
in
thinking
about
the
meeting
that
we
had
yesterday,
where
we
unanimously
approved
the
reappointment
of
chief
Arredondo.
One
of
the
things
that
we
all
talked
about
was
the
Chiefs
of
real
commitment
to
community
strategies
and
real
commitment
to
violence,
prevention
and
and
working
with
the
community,
both
inside
and
outside
the
MPD,
and
so
for
there
to
be
an
outside.
We
have
to
fund
it.
I
We
have
to
to
make
investments
in
it,
and
so
this
is
a
way
for
us
to
get
serious
about
saying
this
council
believes
in
community
safety
and
that
that's
something
that
we're
going
to
move
on
so
I
am
excited
about.
This
I
appreciate
the
momentum
that
it
feels
like
we
have
here
on
the
dais
around
the
around
an
idea
around
an
idea
that
we
can
think
bigger
than
some
of
the
traditional
strategies
that
we've
used
and
get
creative
and
start
to
do
more.
I
The
other
thing
that
I
want
to
say
is
that
I
think
there
is
a
an
opportunity
to
just
name
the
elephant
in
the
room
right,
which
is
that
I
think
in
the
presentation
of
MPD's
budget.
Of
course
they
want
to.
They
want
to
grow
right
and
they're
saying
yes,
you
know
we
have
staffing
needs
we'd
like
to
allocate
people
to
sexual
assault
investigation,
and
there
are
888
sworn
officers
and
I
think
if
we
want
to
find
for
who
we
can
assign
to
investigations.
We
should
think
about
a
way
to
do
that.
I
L
You,
madam
chair
I,
wanted
to
just
quickly
go
back
and
talk
about
investigations
from
a
public
health
perspective,
so
we
talked
yesterday
briefly
during
the
Chiefs
reemployed
reappointment
about
the
culture
within
MPD
of
this
alpha
male
Apple
female
sort
of
culture,
and
so
you
know
I,
don't
I
don't
mean
to
get
too
abstract
or
academic.
But
it's
a
little
bit
concerning
that.
L
There's
work
in
the
adolescents
division
around
healthy
relationships
for
young
people
and
sexual
violence
is
something
and
consent,
for
example,
or
things
that
are
discussed.
Thinking
about
intervention
I
think
we're.
Actually,
while
the
office
is
the
office
of
violence
prevention,
we
removed
the
an
intervention
because
it
was
a
mouthful,
but
also
they
it's
about
intervention
as
well,
and
so
I
think.
That's
really
where
this
would
come
in
is
is
the
public
health
approach,
so
that
would
look
like
being
able
to
have.
L
There
was
a
conversation
about
advocates
so
having
advocates
increasing
that
capacity,
folks
whose
full-time
work
is
working
with
victims
and
survivors
of
sexual
assault
being
in
domestic
violence,
for
example,
to
be
able
to
have
those
folks
go
out
and
be
the
interface
with
the
community
because
there's
maybe
a
greater
safety
established.
So
just
thinking
about
that
is
also
a
way
for
us
to
expand
capacity.
Around
investigations
is
thinking
about.
L
How
do
we
bring
in
more
folks
who
have
the
expertise
of
helping
unlearn
of
violent
behaviors
helping
to
cope
with
trauma,
while
also
moving
through
the
criminal
justice
system
aspect
of
the
sexual
violence
or
the
domestic
violence
that
took
place?
And
so
because
I
also
would
like
to
see
more
investigators,
and
it
is
much
in
the
domestic
violence
unit
there.
They
do
really
great
work
and
want
to
be
able
to
support
them
and
I
think
that
one
of
the
ways
we
could
do
that
is
through
the
domestic
violence.
D
D
You
know
strategy
that
we're
doing,
and
that
is
again
not
a
new
sentiment.
Chief
arredondo
and
the
leadership
of
the
department
I
think
now
more
than
ever,
is
so
committed
to
working
collaboratively
with
the
health
department
with
civil
rights
with
our
City
Attorney's
Office
and
leading
through
change
is
really
difficult,
is
very
hard
and
I
think
we
all
see
and
appreciate
that,
and
so
a
policy
shift
in
moving
funds
to
violence
prevention
strategies
that
the
council
thinks
is
a
high
priority
is
absolutely
not
intended
to
be.
D
You
know
to
pit
the
departments
against
each
other
or
the
work
against
each
other.
The
collaborative
work
is
really
important,
but
we
also
see
the
police
departments
are
struggling
through
this
change.
And
if
you
look
at
things
like
that,
you
know
the
chief
responded
very
quickly,
but
we
have
police
resources
going
to
marijuana
stings
and
looking
at
low-level
offenses
still
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis
this
year,
and
so
I
think
that
absolutely
the
department
should
shift
its
resources
away
from
things
like
that
into
investigating
sex
crimes.
D
So
part
of
it
is
looking
at
the
resources
we
have
not
just
an
MPG
but
in
every
department
in
the
city
and
see
in
making
sure
that
it's
still
aligned
with
the
values
in
the
direction
that
we're
trying
to
go
as
a
city
and
I
commend
the
department
for
the
hard
work.
That's
happening
in
in
navigating
and
leading
through
change.
H
This
is
the
type
of
thing
that
really
instills
you
here
in
a
lot
of
people
in
the
community,
and
so
I
am
you
know
again
I'm
not
here
to
like
try
to
stoke
outrage
or
anything
like
that.
But
when
I
woke
up
this
morning,
I
almost
didn't
mention
it
here,
because
I
wasn't
even
sure
if
it
was
real
and
had
to
get
confirmation
from
community
members
who
walked
into
the
precinct
and
confirmed
that
it
was
real
and
so
I
think
that
this
move
is
it's
it's.
H
It's
not
the
move
that
a
lot
of
community
I'm
going
to
want
to
see
in
terms
of
divestment
or
or
people
who
have
lost
faith
in
in
the
department,
but
I
do
think
that
it's
a
step
in
the
right
direction.
It's
a
proactive
step,
not
a
punitive
one
that
still
points
us
towards
a
community
public
safety,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
name
that
and
for
us.
My
frustration
with
you
know
as
we
as
we
have
to
experience
the
growing
pains
of
culture
shift.
H
C
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I'm,
absolutely
disgusted
by
what
we
just
heard
and
thanks
to
council
member
Ellison
from
that
and
ice
nope
I
have
no
idea,
and
that
should
I
shouldn't
be
investigating
it,
because
it
just
highlights
the
culture
within
the
MPD
that
many
of
us
are
against.
Many
of
us
want
to
change,
and
that
has
been
resistant
to
change
for
a
long
time.
I'm
gonna
support
this
motion
by
councilmember,
Fletcher
and
Cunningham.
B
C
C
You
know
18
or
20
year
old
leaders
in
Syria
Riverside,
who
have
come
together
and
who
actually
highlighted
the
problem
that
we
cannot
police
our
way
out
of
the
issues
in
that
neighborhood
or
in
Ward
6
or
in
south
Minneapolis,
and
who
said
the
underlying
causes.
There
are
no
youth
programs
in
Cedar
Riverside
for
a
neighborhood
that
has
the
largest
concentration
of
young
people
anywhere
in
the
state
of
Minnesota.
There
are
not
enough
programs,
there's
no
after-school
programs,
there's
no
mentorship
programs
they've.
C
C
Public
Safety
and
you
know,
I
commend
the
council
members
for
addressing
this
I
commend
them
for
putting
together
this
in
the
way
they
and
they
have
done
and
I
think
this
is
a
step
in
the
right
direction
that
we
should
empower
community
members
to
take
care
of
Public
Safety,
and
we
should
have
a
police
department
that
that
is
responsive
to
the
needs
of
the
community,
a
police
department
that
does
not
shoot.
You
know
black
men
and
a
police
department
that
makes
sure
that
you
know
as
21st
century
police
department.
C
A
O
O
A
E
Not
anticipating
a
substitute
for
this
one,
so
hopefully
there
isn't
one.
This
is
a
motion
that
deals
with
the
two
health
inspectors.
Folks,
who
were
around
last
year's
budget
will
recall
that
we
maintain
some
funding
for
health
inspectors
for
our
food
lodging
and
pools
the
division
in
the
Health
Department
with
one-time
funding.
E
I
was
hoping
that
this
would
be
an
ongoing
funding
item
this
year,
but
I
was
the
mayor,
didn't
put
that
in
the
budget,
and
I
was
unable
to
find
that
so
this
he's
using
some
unspent
funds
from
another
purpose
that
had
to
do
with
the
development
of
a
new
contract
compliance
system
so
that
we
can
fund
these
two
currently
working
health
inspectors,
at
least
for
one
more
year.
This
will
give
us
time
to
complete
a
study.
That's
going
on
right
now.
E
A
larger
study,
at
least
is
money
in
the
budget
proposed
right
now,
$50,000
I
believe
to
do
a
study
on
regulatory
services
to
get
a
better
handle
on.
Are
we
doing
too
many
inspections?
Are
enough?
Is
there
some
efficiencies
that
we
can?
We
can
meet?
We
certainly
heard
at
the
committee
level
the
importance
of
these
and
we've
seen
some
real
big
improvements
in
our
especially
restaurant
inspections
and
how
we're
handling
that
and
I
don't
think
we
can
afford.
They
don't
think
it's
wise
anyway
for
us
to
lose
these
inspectors
just
for
the
details.
E
This
would
amend
the
2019
mayor's
recommended
budget
for
the
Health
Department
transferring
two
hundred
and
twenty
thousand
dollars
of
a
fund
balance
in
the,
and
this
number
is
wrong.
So
I
want
to
change
it
to
zero
six
four
zero
zero
rather
than
zero,
six
one
zero
zero!
That's
the
correct
number
of
the
fund
associated
with
the
development
of
a
contract
compliance
system
and
increasing
the
health
department's
appropriation
by
two
hundred
and
twenty
thousand
dollars.
One
time,
including
two
full-time
equivalents
for
a
new
food
lodging
and
pools
inspection
change
item
in
the
Health
Department.
E
The
health
department
shall
then
retain
two
existing
health
inspectors
in
the
food
lodging
and
pools
division
on
a
temporary
one-year
basis.
These
positions
shall
not
be
considered
part
of
the
current
service
level
budget
for
the
Health
Department
in
years,
2020
and
beyond,
happy
to
take
any
questions
or
comments
on
that
amendment.
Thank.
A
A
E
You
very
much
item
number
six
is
really
changing
one
page,
so
there's
a
page
with
a
big
spreadsheet.
This
is
has
to
do
with
our
five-year
financial
directions
and
I
want
to
add
an
item
on
this
that
wasn't
in
the
mayor's
proposed
budget,
which
would
be
to
add
it's
kind
of
two
items,
but
it
would
deal
with
the
future
of
neighborhood
funding
programs
in
the
future
of
our
NCR
engagement
services.
E
These
are
big
decisions
that
will
be
coming
up
next
year,
as
we
deal
with
the
neighborhoods
2020
in
the
future
of
neighborhoods
and
the
future
funding
for
our
department,
as
increment
financing
district
will
also
get
decertified.
That's
been
funding
both
of
those
operations.
So
far,
I
can
read
the
amendment
for
folks
get
added
clarity
on
that.
E
Our
engagement
services
have
three
million
dollars
adjusted
each
year
thereafter
for
current
service
level,
inflation
and
updating
the
projected
property
tax
levy
as
necessary
to
fund
the
increased
investments,
as
outlined
for
each
year
in
the
five-year
plan,
I'm
happy
to
stand
for
questions
and
I'm
sure
that
finance
office
can
add
any
details
that
somebody
wants
as
well.
Council.
D
I
don't
want
to
get
too
much
into
policy
in
the
budget
where,
if
you
try
to
suggest
that
we
need
to
do
a
better
job,
you're,
often
framed
as
being
someone
who
doesn't
support
the
function
at
all
and
I
represent
a
word.
That's
80%,
renter.
In
four
years
the
neighborhood
organizations
in
my
word
have
said
it's
just
impossible
to
engage
with
renters
and
that's
just
not
a
fact.
D
But
I
just
want
to
say
the
time
has
to
end
where
we
say:
gee
whiz,
it's
just
too
hard
to
engage
with
renters
or
students
or
people
of
color
or
the
folks
who
live
in
our
communities,
and
we
just
have
to
do
a
better
job
with
the
millions
of
dollars.
We
spend
every
year
engaging
with
community
to
make
it
inclusive,
and
if
our
neighborhood
organizations
need
more
support,
we
should
give
them
the
support.
D
They
need,
if
something
is
goes
beyond
the
capacity
of
our
mostly
volunteer-run
neighborhood
organizations,
then
it
should
be
with
the
responsibility
of
the
city
threat
and
see
our
department
or
in
other
ways
which
we
may
need
to
fund
to
make
sure
that
we're
reaching
people.
But
we
have
to
stop
saying
it's
too
hard.
It's
not
too
hard
and
we've
seen
examples
all
across
the
city.
Many
of
my
colleagues
have
led
these
efforts
and
their
own
communities.
D
A
Want
to
really
appreciate
what
my
colleague
Lisa
bender
just
said.
Not
only
are
we
part
of
looking
at
this
looking
at
things
like
the
five-year
financial
plan
and
some
of
the
work
that
we've
been
doing
and
having
conversations
about
with
the
board
of
estimate,
taxation
and
the
park
board
and
the
Charter
Commission
for
the
future,
but
I
have
three
initiatives
going
on
that
are
all
around
communications
of
the
city
and
how
we
engage
renters
better,
how
we
engage
every
resident
of
our
city
more
impactfully.
One
of
those
is
a
small
staff
direction.
A
At
the
end
of
this
exercise,
one
is
to
work
with
our
innovation
team
on
how
we
really
can
do
better
with
citywide
initiatives
across
our
city,
Enterprise
and
the
other
is
attached
to
our
comprehensive
plan
and
how
the
implementation
of
that
works.
So
I
just
can't
emphasize
more.
The
importance
of
that
in
the
council
president's
words
on
this.
B
Madam
chair
appreciate
the
question
so
in
the
mayor's
recommended
budget,
the
five-year
financial
direction
plans
for
property
tax
increase
of
six
point:
zero,
five
percent
for
2020
and
seven
point
three:
six
percent
for
2021,
which
are
the
years
primarily
impacted
by
this
amendment,
as
the
proposed
five-year
financial
direction,
shows
in
front
of
you.
That
would
go
to
seven
point:
zero,
two
percent
for
2020
and
eight
point.
A
F
F
This
is
that
we
have
neighbourhood
boards
have
been
giving
value
to
our
communities
for
four
decades
now
we've
had
people
that
are
looking
at
our
budget
they're
looking
to
the
future
and
there
there's
a
lot
of
uncertainty,
and
these
are
folks
that
have
been
volunteering
their
time
in
their
neighborhood
for
some
of
them
for
decades.
They
are
very
aware
they
need
to
do
better
and
they
do
need
to
be
more
inclusive
and
more
aptly
reflect
their
neighborhoods.
F
G
G
We
think
that
there
should
be
changes
in
the
way
they
do
it
in
the
ward.
I
represent
the
Loring
Park
neighborhood,
the
downtown
neighborhood,
the
Elliott
Park
neighborhood.
All
work
really
well
with
renters
as
an
example
so
and
others
probably
in
the
city,
do
not.
There
are
changes
that
probably
have
to
be
made,
but
to
suggest
that
neighborhoods
are
gonna
cause.
This
big
percentage
increase.
G
Doesn't
make
sense
to
me
adding
seven
million
dollars
of
something
to
our
five-year
projection
will
increase
taxes.
I
assure
you
that
if
we
want
to
solve
our
affordable
housing
problem
further
increasing
taxes
will
not
help
with
that.
In
fact,
it
will
hurt
with
that,
and
so,
when
we're
thinking
about
property
taxes,
we
should
be
thinking
about
how
renters
pay
more,
even
then,
homeowners
and
they
will
get
pounded.
B
To
manager
to
councilmember
Goodman
point
to
clarify
the
the
five-year
financial
direction
itself
is,
is
a
planning
document
and
it's
not
appropriating
any
dollars
in
those
out
years.
The
only
dollars
that
are
being
appropriated,
the
only
taxes
that
are
being
levied
are
for
2019
and
so
to
the
councilmembers
point.
Counsel
always
has
the
choice
to
to
follow
the
plan
or
spend
more
or
less
than
is
contained
in
that
document.
So
it's
a
it's
a
point
well
taken
and
I
did
want
to
make
that
clarification
for
the
record.
I'm.
G
Sure
I
appreciated
the
clarification.
I
think
what
councilmember
Gordon
is
trying
to
do
is
simply
to
say:
hey
folks,
we
got
a
seven
million
dollar
want
need
and
necessity
out
there
be
aware
of
it,
because
we're
probably
gonna
have
to
reduce
other
things
in
order
to
accommodate
this,
but
we
believe
neighborhoods
are
important
and
it's
worth
doing
that
work
to
do
that.
That's
what
I
view
council
member
Gordon
doing
here
and
I
am
a
partner
with
him
in
that
work.
Council.
E
You
very
much
and
I
am
saying
that
I'm
also
saying
I
think
oh
goody,
we're
gonna
have
an
enormous
tax,
increment
financing
district
end
and
all
that
money's
going
to
pour
into
the
general
fund.
So,
of
course,
we're
gonna
see
a
percentage
increase
in
what
we're
getting
from
property
taxes
on
the
general
fund
and
oh
we've
been
using
that
so
far
to
pay
for
our
department
into
engagement
services.
We'll
probably
want
to
be
continuing
to
do
that.
E
So,
let's
acknowledge
that
in
the
five-year
financial
direction
so
I
want
people
to
when
they
see
that
eight
percent,
that
doesn't
mean
all
the
property
taxes
everybody's
paying
and
going
up
8%,
that's
our
seven
two
or
whatever
that's
accounting
part
of
that
wall.
Now
we
do
whatever
the
option,
instead
of
putting
all
that
money
into
the
general
fund
to
be
collecting
less
from
people
and
give
me
I
don't
want
to
play
around
like
we
wouldn't
have
an
option
of
lowering
taxes
with
the
TIF
district.
E
Sunsetting
either
are
shrinking
our
levy,
but
I
do
want
to
raise
the
point
that
this
is
money
that
we're
already
getting
it's
just
set
aside
in
the
TIF
district,
and
now
it's
going
to
be
going
to
the
general
fund.
Unless
we
decide
we
want
to
decertify
it
and
me
we
keep
that
with
property
taxes
and
we
can
play
around
with
it
at
different
levels.
But
I
think
this
will
give
us
some
stability
into
the
future.
But
people
will
understand
there's
at
least
a
plan
to
account
for
it.
A
D
You,
madam
chair
and
I,
appreciate
all
of
the
discussion
about
transparency
and
that's
why
I
think
this
is
helpful
is
to
have
this
in
the
financial
projection,
so
we
can
understand
how
much
might
be
offset
by
TIF
or
starts
to
understand
what
the
trade-offs
might
be.
I
just
want
to
note
that
I,
don't
think
a
vote
on
this
indicates
necessary
support
for
allocating
these
funds
in
the
future,
and
I
want
to
be
clear
that
that's
what
my
vote
is
about
right
now.
D
So
I
don't
take
this
as
a
intention
to
preempt
that
important
work
that
NCR
is
doing
with
many
council
members,
including
councillor
Gordon,
who
brought
this
so
I
think
you
know
this
isn't
sort
of
a
test
vote
on
neighborhood
organization
funding,
but
rather
I
think
a
move
toward
transparency
to
understand
how
this
will
impact
our
budget
and
the
kinds
of
trade-offs
we
need
to
make
I
can't
support.
Raising
property
is
on
cost
burden
renters
in
the
tenth
Ward.
A
Thank
you
for
bringing
that
out
seeing
nobody
else
in
the
queue
all
those
in
favor
of
this
motion
by
councilmember
Gordon.
Please
say:
aye
aye
opposed
that
carries.
Colleagues,
that's
break
council
member
Gordon's
run
here
and
the
next
one
is
also
under
his
authorship.
But
I
did
want
to
offer
some
time
for
lunch
and
I
could.
E
A
Any
discussion,
all
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye
aye
opposed
that
carries
now.
Colleagues,
with
your
permission,
we're
gonna
take
a
brief
break
for
lunch
and
I'd
like
to
keep
on
going
and
get
through
the
rest
of
these
as
soon
as
possible
after
lunch.
Would
40
minutes
be
acceptable
to
those
here?
Do?
Does
anybody
here
think
they
need
a
full
hour?
Please
let
me
know.
A
Welcome
back
I
will
reconvene
our
Budget
Committee
for
budget
markup
and
I
think
that
this
afternoon
will
go
quite
a
bit
more
quickly
than
this
morning
had
with
me
here
at
the
dais,
our
council
members,
Cunningham,
Gordon,
Ellison
or
Sami
Schrader,
bender,
Fletcher,
Cano
and
Gordon.
We
have
a
quorum
and
are
authorized
to
do
the
business
of
the
committee
again
I
wanted
to
point
out
that
council
member
Johnson
unfortunately
can't
be
with
us
this
afternoon,
but
he
is
watching
remotely
and
is
keeping
track
of
these
things.
A
L
You,
madam
chair,
just
to
clarify
for
my
colleagues
in
I
in
the
fourth
ward.
There
are
two
neighborhoods
that
are
not
covered
by
ShotSpotter,
which
means
that
it
requires
for
people
to
call
residents
to
call
into
9-1-1
for
that
data
to
be
collected
as
well
as
for
there
to
be
an
emergency
response
to
it.
So,
by
putting
this
allocation
in,
we
will
be
able
to
cover
a
good
swath
of
that
land.
L
Amending
the
2019
mayor's
recommended
budget
for
the
departments
of
Police,
reducing
the
ongoing
appropriation
for
the
body,
camera
interface
to
9-1-1,
CAD
change,
item
by
75%
and
reduce,
or
excuse
me
and
adding
a
new
ShotSpotter
expansion
change
item
in
the
police
department,
including
appropriations
of
65,000,
ongoing
and
10,000
one-time
the
police
department.
Shall
use
these
funds
to
expand
the
ShotSpotter
coverage
area
by
approximately
one
mile.
A
Thank
you.
Are
there
any
questions
or
comments?
I
do
have
a
question
and
then
potentially
a
comment
I'd
like
to
ask
director
inter
Mill.
This
is
about
reducing
an
ongoing
expense,
seventy-five
thousand,
but
then
including
appropriations
in
the
amount
of
65,000.
What
ten
thousand
one-time
can
you
help
us
understand
how
this
came
about.
B
Madam
chair
I
hesitate
only
because
I
in
in
my
work
with
all
of
you
and
the
mayor,
I
value,
not
sharing
private
conversations
and
so
I'll
give
you
an
an
answer
and
answer
and
if
councilmember
Cunningham
would
like
to
expand
on
that,
I
welcome
him
to
so
with
respect
to
converting
ongoing
dollars
to
a
one-time
use
that
that
is.
Certainly,
you
know
fair
game
within
our
budget
rules.
B
There
would
be
a
concern
if
we
were
to
be
moving
one-time
dollars
to
an
ongoing
expense
that
that
would
put
us
in
a
structural
imbalance
place,
but
certainly
from
moving
75
thousand
dollars
on
going
to
a
$65,000,
ongoing
expense
and
a
ten
thousand
dollar
one-time
expense.
There's
no
concern
from
a
fiscal
standpoint
or
a
balanced
budget
standpoint
for
future
years
with
respect
to
the
decision
as
to
favor
one
item
over,
another
I
would
defer
to
the
councilmember.
B
R
B
B
A
Per
our
budget,
thank
you.
What
I
am
less
comfortable
about.
I
always
have
supported
these
measures
and
I
do
appreciate
council
members
in
their
own
ward,
helping
to
identify
these
kinds
of
needs.
What
I
am
a
little
bit
nervous
about
here
is
that
it
is
reducing
seventy
five
thousand
dollars
of
the
body,
camera
interface
to
911
and
I'm
curious.
What
that
means
in
councilmember,
Cunningham,
I'm
sure
you've
had
these
conversations
with
our
Police
Department
about
this
resource.
So
can
you
tell
me,
does
this
take
a
person
out?
Does
it
does
it
remove?
A
L
Excuse
me
I,
think,
madam
chair,
so
from
the
understanding
that
I
have
of
this
item,
that
it's
not
an
FTE
and
that
it's
additional
technology-
that's
currently
at
this
point
so
optional,
and
so
looking
at
the
various
priorities
that
we
have,
that
I
have
as
a
nurse
I
counsel
member
in
particular
that
felt
like
a
more
urgent
need
in
comparison
to
the
to
the
technological
needs.
Essentially,
it
would
help
me
action.
L
This
technology
would
help
make
the
connection
between
911
calls
and
body
camera
footage,
which
is
something
that's
helpful,
but
ultimately,
if
there's
gun
violence,
that's
not
being
consistently
consistently
monitored
and
engaged
with
the
sort
of
the
pieces
of
the
9-1-1
and
body.
Cam
footage
become
a
little
bit
less
of
a
priority.
I
would
say.
A
L
A
M
Committee,
chair,
Paul,
Masson,
oh
sorry,
I'm,
Brianna,
Pierce,
so
give
me
a
second
the
the
shot
spotter.
First
of
all,
let
me
just
clarify
the
$10,000
of
the
shot.
Spotter.
The
one
time
is
an
implementation
fee
and
the
65,000
is
the
ongoing
yearly
fee
and
it's
the
same
arrangement
that
we
have
with
the
current
shot
spotter.
So
it's
just
an
extension
of
that
contract
as
far
as
the
so
the
implementation
for
the
body
camera
that
is
a
yearly
fee
as
well.
M
A
M
S
S
That's
been
an
audit
issue
problem
for
us
that
the
officers
have
to
manually
type
in
the
case
number
on
each
and
every
video,
and
if
you
have
fat
fingers
or
if
you're,
it's
a
small
screen,
you
may
not
get
the
number
correctly
because
it's
kind
of
like
text
messaging
and
this
automates
that
process
where,
if
you
activate
your
camera
and
you're
on
a
call,
it
just
puts
it
on
there.
We've
been
discussing
some
other
alternative
way
to
fund
this,
if
possible,
down
the
road,
but
but
that's
really
what
the
the
difference
between
the
two
technologies.
S
A
You
that's
really
helpful.
Does
anyone
else
part
of
me?
Does
anyone
else
have
any
questions
or
comments
they'd
like
to
make
on
this?
Seeing
none
all
those
in
favor,
please
signal
by
saying
aye
aye
opposed
that
carries
item
number
9
is
council
member
war,
Asami's
amendment
for
4-h
purposes
and
I
will
turn
it
over
to
him
to
make
that
motion.
Thank.
C
You,
madam
chair
I'm,
amending
the
2019
mayor's
recommendation
budget
for
the
city
coordinator,
Department,
on
a
one-time
basis.
Increasing
the
strategic
partnership
change
item
by
80,000
one-time
city
coordinator
shall
use
these
funds
to
contract
with
Coe
joke
for
a
4-h
program
in
south
Minneapolis
and
if
I
may
speak
on
this,
just
like
I
mentioned
earlier,
the
the
lack
of
program
in
youth
in
south
Minneapolis
and
in
particular,
but
in
general,
but
Cedar
Riverside
in
particular.
C
You
know
it's
causing
us
a
great
deal
of
issues
with
you
know:
violence
with
isolation,
marginalization
of
our
young
community
in
that
area
and
a
4-h
program.
This
would
be
a
stem
4-h
program.
You
know
aims
to
build
skills
like
responsibility,
resiliency
and
hard
work,
which
will
help
individuals
throughout
their
life,
and
these
type
of
programs
designed
by
young
organizations
I
believe
will
give
us
a
great
deal
of
value
and
I'd
love
to
have
your
support
on
it.
A
C
C
We've
had
it
before
it's
been
very
successful,
very
popular
with
with
young
members
of
the
east
african
community,
and
that's
why
we
recommended
to
bring
it
up,
and
this
actually
came
about
through
discussions
that
I've
had
an
opportunity
center
over
the
last
two
three
months
with
with
mothers,
organizing
for
change
and
youth
in
the
neighborhood.
And
what
came
about
is
the
lack
of
programming,
lack
of
funding
for
programming,
Brian
Colson?
C
J
You,
madam
chair
I,
think
the
4-h
program
is
actually
for
that.
The
urban
indoor
farm
project
that
roof
people
just
kidding
I
just
wanted
to
ask
a
question:
the
staff
about
the
$80,000
coming
from
the
city
coordinators
department.
What
is
that
defunding?
What
is
that?
Taking
resources
away
from
I'm
just
curious
about
the
impact
on
the
actual
city
coordinators,
Division.
B
B
When
the
mayor
recommended
his
change
related
to
the
kam
mass
appraisal
system,
it
essentially
freed
up
four
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
approximately
one-time
funding,
and
so
this
amendment
is
using
that
money
to
add
to
the
coordinators
department
and,
as
as
you
look
at
your
the
large
spreadsheet
in
front
of
you,
that
summarizes
the
packet
you'll,
see
the
sources
kmo
savings
and
that
that
will
hold
true
for
the
the
next
two
amendments
that
comes
from
over
some
a
offers,
as
well
as
the
one
offered
by
councilmember
Palmisano.
So.
B
J
Get
on
that
Andrea?
Okay!
So
that's
the
that's
good!
That's
I'm
wondering
if
that
should
be
reflected
in
the
language.
I
just
think
we
should
just
be
transparent
and
clear
with
the
community
and
where
these
sources
are
coming
from
and
I
didn't
see.
The
source
within
here
last
is
just
a
comment
to
our
council.
J
Colleagues
is
that
it
seems
to
me
atypical
to
just
pick
out
an
organization
and
say
here:
we're
gonna,
give
you
money
for
this
without
having
an
RFP
or
some
kind
of
a
public
process
of
engaging
around
goals
metrics
that
type
of
service
that's
going
to
be
provided.
So
you
know
if
this
is
a
practice,
we're
gonna
get
get
in
on
I,
want
it
on
that
party
too.
J
I
typically
try
to
kind
of
shy
away
from
that
kind
of
thing,
but
I
I'm,
just
pointing
it
out
as
a
as
something
that's
happening
and
I
would
love
more
guidance
on
how
that's
gonna
happen
in
the
future,
because
then
I
think
we
can
all
handpick
groups
and
organizations
that
we
want
to
give
resources
to.
Thank
you.
A
Anybody
else
with
questions
or
comments
for
councilmember
Sammy,
all
right,
all
those
in
favor
of
this
motion,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
opposed
abstaining
that
carries.
The
next
item
is
also
from
councilmember
Warsaw
me
and
I
believe
that
her,
the
other
piece
of
paper
that
we
have
in
front
of
us,
we
got
it
a
few
hours
ago
and
some
handwriting
on
it,
and
it's
written
as
10
its
amended
I'm,
going
to
direct
your
attention
to
that
and
turn
this
over
to
councilmember
or
some
me
for
this
amendment
on
youth
violence,
prevention.
Thank.
C
You,
madam
chair
and
I'm,
amending
to
2019
mayor's
recommended
budget
for
the
city
coordinators
coordinator,
Department,
on
a
one-time
basis.
Increasing
the
treaty
partnership
change
item
by
80,000
one-time
the
city
coordinator,
shall
use
these
funds
to
contract
with
community-based
partners,
youth
programming
in
order
to
increase
violence
prevention
activities
in
and
around
the
Cedar
Riverside
neighborhood,
and
if
I
may
speak
to
this
go
ahead.
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
In
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
over
the
last
since
2018,
there
has
been
10
East,
African
homicides
perpetrated
by
other
East
African
youth.
C
It's
been
since
I've
been
on
the
couch
for
the
last
five
years,
the
most
difficult
year
in
terms
of
homicides
and
shootings,
and
the
community
has
come
together
and
again.
What
came
about
was
the
lack
of
youth
programming
in
order
to
address
violence
and
the
fact
that,
just
like
we
have
the
theme
today,
we're
not
gonna,
please
our
way
out
of
these
problems
have
an
extra
police
in
Cedar
Riverside.
C
It's
not
gonna
solve
the
issue,
so
the
youth
came
together
and
they
wanted
to
do
their
own
programming
and
design
program,
mentorship
athletics
programs
that
keep
them
busy.
That
gives
them
a
fruitful
meaning
today
and
connects
them
to
their
neighborhood,
and
that's
why
we
came
up
with
this
idea
and
we
are
looking
for
support
from
the
county
from
the
state
and
as
well
as
from
other
jurisdictions,
to
increase
the
support
for
a
youth
program
in
the
Cedar
Riverside.
But
we
thought
the
city
should
play.
C
Its
role
should
take
a
leadership
role
in
it,
since
we
are
responsible
for
Public
Safety
and
come
out
with
community
lead
public
initiatives
that
are
culturally
appropriate
and
address
their
problems.
The
way
they
see
fit.
So
that's
the
reason
why
we
came
to
this
and
I
love
to
have
the
support
of
my
colleagues
on
the
council.
Thank.
A
You
I
just
want
to
pause
here
before
I
call
on
councilmember
Cunningham
who's
in
the
queue
to
ask
given
the
way
the
earlier
amendments
have
gone.
Does
it
perhaps
make
sense
for
this
money
to
then
reside
in
the
office
of
violence
prevention?
Would
that
be
a
friendly
amendment,
or
would
you
prefer
to
have
it
in
the
city
coordinators
office,
I.
C
C
Also,
this
is
not
necessarily
just
about
preventing
violence.
It's
not
just
about
public
I,
don't
I,
don't
want
it!
I,
don't
want
it
to
be
about
Tess
Public
Safety
I
wanted
to
address
the
lack
of
programming
as
well.
So
yes,
it
is.
The
big
game
is
to
reduce
violence,
but
the
overall,
our
Archon
aim
is
to
bring
more
programming
and
attention
to
the
needs
of
this
community
and
this
neighborhood,
so
I
I
prefer
it
to
be
at
the
coroner's
office.
C
O
A
L
You
madam
chair
I,
want
to
say
first
that
I
am
grateful,
that
I
have
the
opportunity
and
at
any
opportunity
to
be
able
to
stand
in
solidarity
with
the
Cedar
Riverside
community,
as
well
as
my
colleague
at
council,
worst
ami
for
systems,
good
systems
for
good
systems
sake.
Do
you
think
it
actually
is
better
for
this
to
live
in
the
office
of
violence
prevention,
given
its
specifically
for
youth,
violence,
prevention,
related
activities
and
much
the
same
as
with
the
community
led
public
safety
strategies.
O
D
You
councilmember
bender.
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I,
think
appreciate
the
discussion
and,
as
we
were
as
I
was
listening
to
my
colleagues
speak
about
this
I
thought.
Maybe,
since
we
had
just
had
the
amendment
earlier
today
about
the
office
of
violence
prevention,
it
sounds
like
maybe
customers
or
saw
me
and
Cunningham
just
need
more
time
to
talk
with
each
other
and
staff
and
so
I
think.
D
C
A
C
E
E
J
A
J
Think
it's
great
to
have
the
resources
go
there,
but,
as
is
I,
just
think
it
would
be
a
bad
government
practice
to
approve
something
that
we
know
doesn't
align
doesn't
fit
with
the
series
of
decisions
we
were
making
earlier
and
the
work
that
we're
doing
to
align
the
work
and
really
support
it.
It
it
should
not
be
in
the
city
coordinators
office.
J
O
A
O
C
You
man
I'm
sure
this
program.
This
is
a
pilot
program
that
we've
been
working
with,
that
we
started
to
work
designed
with
the
trade
unions
and
in
order
to
one
diversify
the
workforce
in
East,
African
Community
how's
this
program
at
the
opportunity
center
in
Cedar
Riverside
and
three
to
basically
help
the
unions
as
we
as
we
are
aware.
C
Baby
boomers
are
retiring,
there's
gonna
be
a
lot
of
pressure
on
unskilled
labor
and
we
need
to
prepared
for
the
future,
and
one
of
the
potential
ways
to
fill
this
gap
is
by
training
and
educating
people
of
color
and
inner-city
workforce,
and
this
pilot
program,
I
think,
would
go
a
long
way
to
address
this
issue.
As
you
know,
historically,
that
the
building
trades
have
been
one
area
that
there
has
been,
you
know
kept
people
of
color
and
black
people
away
from
and
and
I
think.
A
O
A
That
item
carries
next.
Is
the
item
number
12?
Oh,
that's,
mine,
I
will
move
forward
a
motion
by
just
myself
and
it
is
amending
the
2019
mayor's
recommended
budget
for
the
Health
Department
on
a
one-time
basis,
increasing
the
office
of
violence
prevention
change
item
by
$30,000
one
time
the
Health
Department
shall
use
these
funds
to
support
the
Police
Athletic
League
program,
including
a
transfer
of
funds
to
the
police
department,
if
necessary,
I'd
like
to
speak
a
little
bit
about
this
item.
Pal
the
Police
Athletic
League
is
something
that
currently
operates.
A
It
has
a
civilian
board
of
directors.
There
are
volunteers
from
the
community
and
it
runs
out
of
our
Hamilton
Police
site,
which
is
was
formerly
in
elementary
school
in
conversation
with
the
board
members
for
this
program.
They
have
some
but
not
a
lot
of
police
involvement
and
support
with
this
program
and
what
they
think
it
would
take
to
really
be
able
to
make
this.
Its
own
standalone
program
would
be
a
small
one-time
amount
of
money
such
that
they
could
hire
an
executive
director
who
could
begin
fundraising
for
this
program.
A
It
is
a
national
program,
the
Police
Athletic
League.
The
purpose
is
to
build
strong
community
trust
and
partnerships
between
young
people
and
officers,
and
this
funding
would
be
used
just
one
time
to
achieve
that
purpose
and
give
them
an
opportunity
to
get
off
the
ground.
This
has
been
in
operation
for
I'm,
not
sure
how
many
years
Robin
McPherson
knows,
but
it
seems
that
she
stepped
out
so
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions,
but
I
I,
guess
I.
First,
better,
ask
a
clarifying
question.
A
B
Madam
sure,
to
highlight
the
second
sentence
of
the
motion:
this
is
to
increase
the
office
of
violence
prevention
change
item
by
thirty
thousand
one
time,
so
it
does
indeed
thirty
thousand
dollars
to
the
office
of
violence
prevention
for
this
work,
and
so
a
source
is
not
specified
in
the
amendment
itself.
Because
again,
the
the
source
of
funding
is
the
fund
balance
that
was
made
available
through
the
mayor's
cama
amendment.
Oh.
L
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
so
I
just
wanted
to
ask
a
process.
Question
I
think
it's
a
great
idea
to
get
a
civilian
in
the
position
of
an
executive
director
for
path.
The
pal
program,
Inspector,
Baird,
actually
I,
think
used
to
be
the
executive
director.
But
now,
as
the
president
got
the
fourth
Precinct
inspector
and
it's
tough
forests
for
an
officer
who
maybe
has
never
been
trained
in
nonprofit,
it's
a
management
to
be
in
charge
of
a
non-profit,
so
I
think
it's
really
great.
A
Thank
you
I'll.
Take
that
just
as
a
question
for
myself,
I
don't
know,
I,
don't
see
it
as
being
I,
see
it
as
being
categorically
about
violence
prevention,
but
this
money
would
specifically
be
to
hire
an
executive
director
that
has
development
experience
and
leave
it
up
to
that
board
of
directors
of
PAL.
That's
been
working
with
in
collaboration
with
the
inspector
over
time
and
with
I'm.
A
Sorry,
her
name
escapes
me,
but
Katherine
lund,
I
believe
is
the
person
who's
been
working
closely
with
this
program
over
time
and
I
would
leave
it
up
to
them
to
be
able
to
use
up
to
this
amount
of
money
to
hire
a
part-time
executive
director
and
get
started
on
making
it
its
own
standalone
program
so
well,
it
would
be
connected
to
the
office
of
violence
prevention
categorically.
This
is
just
a
one-time
funding
transfer,
not
an
ongoing
appropriation.
L
With
the
madam
chair,
if
I
may
ask
a
follow-up
question
so
then,
with
the
PAL
program
then
live
on
in
the
office
of
violence
prevention,
or
would
it
be
still
something
that
lives
within
the
police
department,
I'm
kind
of
confused
as
to
where
the
office
of
violence
prevention
comes
in
and
then
to
also
hear
that
the
$30,000
is
coming
out
of
the
fund
right
now
we
already
have
one
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
of
that
year
marked
for
is
it's
not
the
same?
Okay
I
thought,
that's
what
I?
B
L
A
Councilmember
Cunningham,
the
executive
director
for
this
program
would
work
for
the
board
of
directors
of
this
nonprofit.
It
currently
operates
out
of
the
Hamilton
facility
and
we
know
that
that
time
will
come
to
an
end
after
which
they'll
have
to
find
another
facility
to
operate
out
of,
and
all
of
that
would
be
unscoped
in
probably
a
few
years
out.
L
Okay,
thank
you
for
that
clarification.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
off
line
that
we
coordinate
with
the
office
of
the
violence
prevention
staff
at
the
Health
Department,
so
that
they
understand,
but
what
this
means
for
them
if
they
have
to
take
on
more
work
and
things
like
that.
So
if
we
can
just.
L
A
B
If,
madam
chair
and
council
president,
so
what
the
the
result
of
the
mayor's
camera
amendment,
which
was
incorporated
earlier
into
the
the
budget
through
the
technical
amendment,
what
that
did
was
create
a
four
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollar
one-time
fund
balance
available
in
the
general
fund
and
so
that
four
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
that
was
not
assigned
through
this
amendment.
As
being
added
to
the
violence
prevention
fund
created
earlier
for
the
intended
use
of
health
in.
A
Director
we
were
speaking
over
you
to
the
council
president.
So
did
you
want
to
hear
that
one
more
time?
Okay,
sorry
about
that.
All
those
in
favor
of
this
motion,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
aye
opposed.
That
item
carries
next.
We
have
a
motion
by
a
council
president
bender
on
a
stable
home,
stable
school's
staff
direction.
Thank.
D
You,
madam
chair,
this
is
something
that
comes
from
our
Goodman
and
I
are
bringing
forward
together,
and
this
should
really
be
not
controversial,
because
it's
actually
kind
of
how
we
do
business.
But
there's
been
a
lot
of
confusion
about
the
mayor's,
stable
home,
stable
Schools
program.
This
simply
directs
staff
and
community
planning
and
economic
development
to
report
back
to
the
council
early
next
year
on
the
status
of
the
program
development.
D
Our
understanding
from
conversations
with
some
of
the
partners
who
are
involved
in
this
is
that
it
may
be
at
a
pretty
early
stage
of
planning,
despite
the
intention
of
spending
three
million
dollars
next
year.
So
if
the
report
is
simply
a
status
that
that
is
in
those
early
stages
of
planning,
that
would
be
fine,
but
I.
Think
council
members
just
need
a
lot
more
information
about
the
program,
the
number
of
students
and
families
that
will
be
served.
D
A
number
of
the
schools
that
the
school
district
has
chosen
to
be
included,
and
why
so
that
we
can
just
be
included
and
planning
that's
happening
in
our
wards
and
then
understanding
about
the
goals
and
how
an
impacts
of
the
program
and
how
it
might
fit
into
all
of
the
other
work
that
they
counsel
is
leading
around
housing.
And
so
this
also
instructs
staff
not
to
spend
the
money
until
we
have
a
chance
to
get
more
details
and
approve
a
work
plan
for
this
work.
G
You
Madame
chair,
like
any
other
program
in
the
city,
the
City
Council,
has
the
responsibility
is
in
the
strong
council
system
to
lay
out
the
specifics
with
regard
to
any
program.
I
will
say
think
it's
probably
a
little
harsh
to
suggest
that
no
agreement
can
be
made
because
agreements
are
already
being
made.
So
I
don't
strike
that
language,
but
no
dollars
should
be
expended
until
we
have
a
sense
of
what
the
work
plan
is.
G
It
sounds
like
councilman
Gordon
had
sent
out
to
H
Housing
Policy
folks,
a
general
outline
of
what
they're
thinking
and
that's
really
good
information.
I,
also
think
it
would
be
good
to
have
this
in
front
of
committee.
It
sounds
like
the
mayor's
office
has
tried
to
do
that
in
the
past
and
now
and
we
I
don't
know
we
weren't
as
receptive
as
we
might
have
been.
So
it
sounds
like
we
should
be
receptive
now,
since
we're
asking
for
the
information
and
get
a
briefing
in
committee,
followed
by
some
specifics
about
the
work
plan.
D
For
my
attorney
and
I
think
I
think
in
this
context
the
word
agreement
is
referring
to
a
contract,
for
example,
a
contract
with
the
public
housing
authority
for
three
million
dollars,
yeah
okay,
so
we
could
replace
it
with
contract
or
financial.
Maybe
financial
agreement
is
the
appropriate
word.
I
mean.
G
A
L
You,
madam
chair
I,
am
gonna
vote
in
support
of
this
motion
because
it's
great
to
have
the
transparency
and
to
get
that
information
out.
So
that
folks
know,
as
somebody
who
was
a
former
teacher
in
a
special
ed
teacher
in
the
public
school
system,
I
have
been
able
to
see
firsthand
really
what
happens
when
young
folks
are
destabilized
through
being
homeless
and
highly
mobile.
L
E
Thank
you,
I
appreciate
the
staff
direction.
I
was
also
comfortable
taking
out
there.
No
agreement
may
be
made
just
note
that
the
only
concern
that
I
see
might
be
created
with
passing
this
is
there'll,
be
a
level
of
uncertainty
that
might
be
created
in
our
partners,
so
I
think
what
should
be
clear
is
when
we
approve
the
appropriation
of
the
funding
that
should
give
a
sounding
Bell
to
everybody
to
understand
this
year.
The
city
is
serious
in
participating
this
and
they're
moving
forward.
E
All
we
want
is
to
get
clarity,
get
more
information
and
to
be
able
to
sign
off
on
the
work
plan
before
we
actually
let
send
the
funds
out
the
door,
so
I
think
that's
going
to
be
an
important
thing
for
us
to
to
talk
about.
If
we,
this
is
assuming,
we
approve
the
budget.
Ultimately,
that
does
appropriate
the
funds.
E
This
purpose,
because
I
do
think
they
are
near
resolution
on
most
of
the
issues
out.
There
I
also
appreciate
this
because
it
sets
the
date
of
January
31st
to
at
least
come
back
to
a
committee
and
make
a
report
and
I
think
that
I
would
have
been
open
to
getting
this
at
our
committee
sooner
at
one
point
or
another.
A
L
I
may
madam
chair,
just
very
briefly:
I,
have
been
doing
research
on
this
particular
program
for
the
model,
based
that
this
this
program
is
based
on
and
it's
based
on
a
school
out
of
Tacoma
Washington
I
write
a
five-year
analysis
of
120
pages,
full
nerd
rather
read
the
five-year
analysis
and
the
results
are
very
promising.
Of
course,
with
an
innovative
strategy,
there
are
still
gaps
and
needs
and
I
think
that
we
have
the
opportunity
to
learn
on
lessons
from
other
cities
such
as
Tacoma
for
us
to
be
able
to
do
this
right.
A
A
Next,
we
have
the
small
packet
of
items
that
have
just
been
handed
out.
It
contains
three
last
amendments
and
the
first
one
in
front
of
you.
It
also
has
my
name
on
it,
and
this
is
some
of
the
things
that
we've
been
talking
about.
We've
been
talking
about
it
actually,
as
as
we've
walked
through
the
comprehensive
plan
this
year,
I'll
read
the
staff
direction
and
then
explain
a
little
bit
of
it.
A
This
is
a
staff
directive
directing
the
communications
director
and
the
innovation
team
director
to
contract,
with
a
qualified
external
communications
audit
vendor
to
conduct
an
enterprise
communications
audit
to
improve
the
overall
alignment
and
effectiveness
of
communications
and
public
engagement
activities,
and
this
is
due
to
some
of
the
ways
that
we
have
learned
along
the
way
of
what
public
engagement
in
our
city
might
look
like
on
citywide
initiatives.
This
communications
assessment
would
provide
an
overview
of
the
existing
scope
of
communication
resources
across
our
enterprise
and
look
at
the
effectiveness
of
those
strategies.
A
Sorry
I
didn't
want
to
editorialize.
It
would
review
the
effectiveness
of
current
and
past
communication
strategies,
capabilities
tactics
and
structures.
This
communications
audit
would
provide
guidance
and
recommendations
on
how
the
city
enterprise
might
improve
the
proactivity
and
diversity
of
communications
in
alignment
with
strategic
enterprise
goals.
So
we
can
maximize
our
resources
I'd
be
happy
to
entertain
any
questions
or
comments.
Council
president
bender
thank.
D
You,
madam
chair
I'm,
extremely
supportive
of
this,
and
very
thankful
for
your
leadership
on
what
I
think
is
just
a
needed,
like
you
said,
an
analysis
of
how
things
are
going
and
just
understanding
how
the
different
communications
functions
of
our
city's
city
are
working
together
and
how
many
may
be
able
to
improve.
So
I
really
appreciate
this
and
I'm
supportive
I
think
it
makes
good
sense
for
this
to
come.
You
know,
through
the
Enterprise
Committee,
where
you're
the
chairs,
so
I
appreciate
your
leadership.
A
Thank
you
all
mentioned
that
this
audit
intends
to
have
an
outside
entity,
identify
where
our
weaknesses
lie
in
gathering
engagement
from
diverse
groups
and
individuals
and
provide
recommendations
on
improvement.
I,
don't
think
that
that's
a
skill
that
our
internal
audit
department
has,
which
is
why
this
would
be
an
outside
contract
consul
member
Fletcher.
I
A
A
N
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I
am
introducing
a
staff
direction,
directing
the
Budget
Office
to
develop
a
definition
for
work
that
is
core
to
the
provision
of
city
services
and
provide
recommendation
to
the
council
on
how
to
categorize
the
city's
work
as
core
based
on
that
definition.
In
coordination
with
the
strategic
and
racial
equity
action
planning
process
staff
shall
report
back
to
the
council
with
recommendations
no
longer
than
no
later
than
February.
27,
2018
and
I
will
move
this
and
stand
for
questions
or
comment.
Thank.
E
How
would
the
budget
office
do
it?
What
do
you
consider
your
core
service
department,
head
and
staff
and,
of
course,
so
I'm
not
sure
if
what
we're
after
here
and
if
the
right
way
to
get
there
is
a
direction
to
to
the
budget
and
during
the
budget
process.
So
maybe,
if
more
information
will
help
me
understand
it
better.
A
Council,
member
Gordon,
if
I
may
I,
had
a
couple
of
comments
and
then,
if
I'll
invite
the
council
vice
president,
maybe
make
some
other
clarifications.
You
know
we've
been
talking
all
year
about
how
to
better
dig
into
this.
The
city's
current
service
level
budget.
So
we
can
better
understand
as
policymakers,
where
our
budgets
being
spent
personally
I've
been
working
with
both
mica
inter
Miller
budget
director
and
also
Andrea
Larsen,
our
deputy
city
coordinator
on
that
effort.
A
A
We
aren't
saying
that
will
only
continue
doing
core
work
and
that
our
discretionary
work
work
will
go
away.
That's
not
what
we're
saying
at
all.
We
should
do
our
core
work
as
efficiently
and
effectively
as
we
can
and
I
would
say.
We
should
innovate
that
as
well,
yet
we
should,
as
policymakers,
be
making
collective
active
decisions
about
which
discretionary
work
we
fund
and
maybe
not
always
at
the
end
of
the
year
in
a
in
a
brushed
budget
process.
A
I
think
we
need
one
central
definition,
so
we
aren't
leaning
on
each
others
or
each
departments
interpretation
of
what
core
work
means
and
does
that
help
to
answer
what
you're
asking
at
all?
Or
would
you
like
some
more
clarification
as
to
why
this
would
sit
in
the
budget
director's
office
and
I
guess
I'll
get
out
of
the
middle
of
this
conversation.
A
E
The
word
required
was
helpful,
so
we
could
find
out
what's
required
by
state
law
or
by
our
own
city
ordinances.
To
do
that
would
be
helpful
core,
isn't
very
helpful
and
required
as
dimness.
So
what
is
required
and
not
and
actually
I
think
what
core
services
probably
resides
in
each
of
us
and
each
of
the
residents
of
Minneapolis,
it
probably
doesn't
reside
in
the
budget
office.
Somebody
could
look
up
what's
required
by
fate's
state
and
federal
law.
E
We
could
look
up
what's
in
state
and
federal
law
and
maybe
what's
in
city
ordinance,
but
obviously
we
passed
the
ordinances,
we
take
a
vote
and
if
we
could
change
that
to
discretionary,
if
we
think
its
core,
so
I'm
seems
like
a
big
big
wormhole
that
we
could
go
down,
trying
to
figure
out
what
this
is
and
what
the
expectations
are.
And
then
we'd
still
have
a
big
debate
about.
That's
I.
E
Consider
that
core
to
the
future
of
the
city
and
the
health
of
the
city,
I,
don't
consider
it
core
and
I,
don't
know,
maybe
that
maybe
the
budget
office
has
a
clear
idea
of
what
answer
they'll
come
up
and
it's
simple
for
them
to
it
out,
but
it
seems
like
it's
got
to
be
based
on
what
the
policymakers
feel
is
core
which
is
based
on
what
we
feel
our
constituents
think
is
his
core
or
required
for
us
to
have
the
best
city
possible.
I
might.
N
D
Thank
you
both.
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
You
know.
I
do
also
want
to
express
well
two
things.
Number
one
I
actually
agree
that
when
we
take
a
look
at
our
now,
almost
1.5
billion
dollar
budget
that
we
shouldn't
assume
that
everything
is
in
there
is
is
a
priority
or
something
that
we
want
to
continue
and
that
the
way
that
we've
been
writing
our
budgets
generally
or
at
least
the
way
that
they're
presented
to
council
tends
to
to
rely
on
that
assumption.
D
But
council
members
in
this
council
will
actually
see
as
a
core
function
of
city
government,
so
I
think
it's
perfectly
reasonable
to
given
the
amount
of
interest
that
we're
hearing
about
this
from
staff.
Have
them
come
back
and
try
to
explain
to
us
more
about
this
as
a
body
so
that
policymakers
can
see
if
it
makes
sense,
but
I
do
think
that
it's
probably
a
lot
more
complicated
that
then
it
sounds.
E
So
my
assumption
is,
then
they're
gonna
have
to
base
their
what
they
think
is
core
based
on
the
big
goals
that
were
approved
and
the
mission
that
was
approved
by
the
previous
council
I
suppose
they
could
maybe
look
at
the
goals
of
our
comp
plan.
But
I,
don't
know
what
they're
gonna
base
that
on,
if
they're
really
trying
to
figure
out
and
kind
of
a
psych-out.
E
So
I'll
probably
vote
against
this
right
now.
I
think
the
Budget
Office
has
full
discretion
to
develop
some
recommendations
about
core
services
and
what
they
think
their
core
aren't
core
for
us
to
look
at
anytime.
They
want,
but
I,
don't
I
think
somehow
we're
punting.
Now
what
should
be
our
work
and
I
I
think
we
need
to
get
our
our
job
done
before.
We
ask
somebody
else
to
come
back
then
and
start
guessing
what
we
think
customer.
A
Gordon,
if
I
may
I'm
going
to
turn
this
over
to
director
intramural
to
say
a
couple
of
words,
but
this
is
I
think
the
end
result
of
all
of
the
strategic
planning
work
that
is
still
going
on
and
a
lot
of
the
new
calendar
items
on
our
schedules
for
January
are
meant
to
get
us
there.
This
is
a
process.
This
doesn't
just
leap
forward,
while
I
see
that
in
isolation,
the
staff
Direction
might
look
like
it
there's
a
lot
of
work
that
we'll
be
doing
in
January
toward
this
effort
and
director
interim
L.
A
B
Chair,
thank
you,
so
I
think
that
councilmember
Gordon,
as
as
you
so
often
do
you
raise
you,
have
touched
on
almost
all
of
the
the
sticky
challenges
that
are
part
of
this
work.
So
to
underscore
something
that
the
chair
said.
Certainly
the
budget
office
has
been
working
deeply
with
the
city
coordinators
office,
the
division
of
race,
equity
and
long-range
planning
throughout
this,
the
strategic
and
racial
equity
action
planning
process
and
the
intended
last
step
was
always
how
do
we?
How
do
we
operationalize
this
strategic
planning,
work,
I?
B
Think
in
the
past,
their
counsel
has
said
good
goals,
but
then
there's
always
been
a
question
of
how
do
we
connect
those
the
goals
and
the
vision
to,
indeed,
all
of
the
work
that
the
city
does,
which
is
funded
then
through?
As
the
council
president
points
out
are
over
1.5
billion
dollar
budget,
and
so
my
understanding
of
the
council
vice
president's
intent
here
is
to
say
we
need.
B
We
need
to
get
to
that
last
step
of
operationalizing
our
strategic
and
racial
equity
action
plan
and
part
of
doing
that
is
identifying
what
are
our
core
services
and
what
what
is
optional
and
I
was
just
chatting
with
our
city
clerk
here,
a
core
service,
an
example
may
be
providing
a
lecture
or
conducting
elections.
You
know,
voter
outreach
is
discretionary.
That
is
not
to
say
that
voter
outreach
is
not
important.
Indeed,
it
is
being
here
in
the
voting
is
City
and
the
voting
estate.
B
It's
it
is.
Is
that
a
core
function
of
the
city?
That's
the
question
so
to
these
specific
staff
direction
itself.
This
is
this
is
directing
the
budget
office
to
come
back
with
a
recommendation
to
Council
on
how
to
categorize
that
work.
So
the
yes,
the
council
continues
to
decide.
The
council
sets
the
the
vision
and
mission
of
the
organization
and
ultimately
decides
what's
core.
B
What's
not,
but
then
from
that
that
determination,
then,
as
elected
officials
along
with
the
mayor,
it
it
be
the
the
discussion
that
you
have
about
funding
particular
items
becomes
different
in
you
know
we
we
take
a
look
at.
How
can
we
make
a
core
service
more
efficient
and
still
deliver
the
outcomes
that
are
intended?
We
look
at
our
discretionary
programs.
I.
Think
a
good
example
is
earlier
the
amendment
that
councilmember
Cunningham
brought.
You
know
these.
B
These
are
two
good
things:
the
the
ShotSpotter
program
and
the
connecting
our
911
system
to
our
body
camera
database,
but
with
looking
at
those
two
optional
items,
both
good
as
they
are
against
each
other
helps
us
understand
what
the
what
the
tray
helps.
You
excuse
me
understand
what
the
trade-offs
are
as
policymakers.
E
And
I
think,
even
though
providing
elections
or
there's
a
lot
of
towns
that
have
to
County
do
that
for
them
now
so
I
mean
we
we
could.
We
could
decide
that
there's,
it's
still
gonna
be
up
to
us,
so
I
think
there
would
be
a
better
way
to
help
us
figure
that
out
and
probably
how
do
we
operationalize
your
strategic
plan
would
be
very
helpful.
Help
help
evaluate
decisions
based
on
your
priorities
will
be
helpful,
so
I'm
not
sure
about
support
this
staff
direction
as
it
is.
E
It's
probably
gonna
have
support,
though,
and
that's
fine
and
I'll
probably
keep
sticking
things
up
every
so
often
when,
when
I
feel
like
it
I
do
think
it
would
be
better.
We
had
done
our
goals
and
our
values
and
the
mission
of
the
city
and
then
I
think
we
are
also
well
equipped
to
look
at
those
issues
and
if
we
feel
like
we
want
every
staff
report
to
show
us
how
it's
connected
to
a
goal,
every
budget
request
every
business
plan
from
our
departments.
E
We
could
be
doing
that
and
that
would
be
our
job
and
it
would
help
us
make
our
decisions
on
everything
that
you
brought
to
us
to
say:
okay,
that
doesn't
fit
the
goals
that
are
my
priorities
or
that
we
already
approved
and
it
doesn't
further
the
mission
of
the
city.
So
it's
not
something
that
we're
gonna
fund
this
year
or
it
does,
and
we
will
so
I,
don't
know,
but
thank
you
for
letting
me
take
up
so
much
time
with
this
one
little
class
I'm,
sorry
for
everybody,
councilmember.
N
A
H
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
This
motion
is
amending
the
2019
mayor's
recommended
budget
for
the
city,
coordinated
apartment
on
a
one-time
basis,
increasing
the
strategic
partnership
change
item
by
100,000
one-time
the
city
coordinator
should
use
these
funds
to
contract
with
community-based
partners,
to
study,
ways
to
maximize
investments
in
the
promise
zone
and
just
to
give
folks
a
little
bit
of
context.
The
promise
zone
is
a
designation,
federal
designation
that
stretches
the
length
of
almost
all
of
North,
Minneapolis
and
and
and
in
the
past
couple
of
years.
H
You
know
I
initially
wasn't
sure
where
I
was
landing
and
hadn't
done
a
lot
of
engagement
early
in
the
term
with
the
promise
zones,
but
as
I've
been
able
to
engage
and
talk
to
business
owners.
You
know
notably
appetite
for
change
and
jamia
staples
and
others
who,
who
feel
like
they've,
gotten
a
lot
of
benefit
in
that
and
that
if
there
was
additional
support
to
help
them
navigate
these
federal
grants
that
Northside
businesses
would
would
benefit
from
that.
H
And
so
this
would
be
a
one-time
allocation
to
allow
for
a
city
coordinator
to
to
provide
that
additional
support
and
help
Northside
businesses
sort
of
focus
in
on
a
few
key
corridors.
Some
that
come
to
mind
off
top.
My
head
is
44th,
where
councilmember
Cunningham
has
a
lot
of
development
that
could
go,
could
go
forward
and
a
lot
of
businesses
that
could
be
strengthened.
Their
Plymouth
Avenue
again
is
another
corridor
for
north
as
well
as
West,
Broadway
and
so
yeah.
This
is
really
just
to
support
growth
in
the
neighborhood,
as
we
focus
on
housing.
A
A
J
Green
zones
work
by
the
Office
of
Sustainability,
and
so,
as
many
of
you
know,
this
work
has
been
growing
over
time
and
it
is
focused
on
helping
areas
of
our
city
that
have
three
specific
demographics,
layered
one
on
top
of
the
other,
so
number
one.
These
areas
are
the
most
low-income
areas
of
our
city
number.
Two.
These
areas
are
also
the
most
racially
diverse
areas
of
our
of
our
city,
as
well
as
the
most
polluted
areas
of
our
city,
and
so
this
allocation
is
actually
smaller
than
last
year's
allocation.
A
B
Chair
I
will
speculate
and,
if
I'm
wrong
a
invite,
councilmember
Cano
to
correct
me.
So
when,
when
we
finished
our
series
of
pre
filed
amendments,
there
was
two
hundred
and
eighteen
thousand
dollars
left
from
the
I'll
call
it
KMS
surplus
former
chemist
surplus
of
that
two
hundred
and
eighteen
thousand
dollars,
councilmember
Allison's
motion
spent
one
hundred
thousand
and
I.
Believe
then
of
then
the
remaining
118
thousand.
It
would
be
the
council
member
Connors
intent
to
use
one
hundred
thousand.
A
E
A
A
A
I
You
to
Paul
Masson
I
just
wanted
to
preview
something
I
tend
to
bring
at
our
next
meeting.
I'm,
not
bringing
it
today,
both
because
I
didn't
have
a
chance
to
talk
to
people
and
having
apologised
for
doing
that.
Once
today,
I'm
not
going
to
compound
that,
but
also
because
I'm
very
excited
about
what
I'm
gonna
be
proposing
and
I
just
want
to
preview
it.
To
start
the
conversation.
I
We
need
more
capacity
and
public
works
to
coordinate
in
around
a
vision
around
transportation
infrastructure,
specifically
where
there
is
a
lot
of
new
development
contemplated
and
one
of
the
things
we've
been
trying
to
make
happen
is
more
coordination
between
public
works,
insipid
and,
and
we
need
the
capacity
to
do
that
and
I
had
a
proposal
ready
to
bring
forward
and
both
Public
Works
and
see.
Ped
contacted
me
and
said.
We
want
to
work
together
to
find
a
different
source
for
it
and
in
the
spirit
of
trying
to
create
collaboration
between
public
works
and
CPD.
I
A
City
clerk,
if
I
may
just
confirm
this
next
motion
with
you
I
believe
what
we
need
to
do
here
is
to
approve
this
budget
as
amended
and
forward
it
to
the
next
adjourned
meeting
next
Wednesday.
Is
that
correct,
so
I
will
make
that
motion
to
both
approve
the
mayor's
recommended
budget
inclusive
of
these
amendments
and
move
it
forward
to
next
Wednesday
for
the
public
hearing
all
those
in
favor,
please
indicate
by
saying
aye
aye
opposed
that
carries.
Thank
you.
We
will
be
adjourned
and
this
is
a
journey.
D
You,
madam
chair,
before
we
adjourn
I,
just
want
to
thank
you
and
your
staff
in
your
office
for
doing
such
a
great
job
of
managing
all
of
the
amendments
that
came
through
today
and
doing
it
with
such
respect.
For
you
know
each
council,
member
offices,
you
know
goals
in
mind
and
working
so
collaboratively
with
all
of
us.
It
really
mattered
a
lot
into
finance
and
all
of
the
other
department
has
for
all
their
work
meeting
up
in
today
into
the
clerk's
office
as
well.
Thank.
