Let the record reflect that we do have a quorum for this committee and first, we will I should say the only business we have before us today is the receipt of reports from the standing committees on matters to be considered by the full council at our regular meeting.

I do want to point up the only thing we are moving forward for approval, although it I'm not sure they go to full council. Quite frankly, is their directive from councilmember Schrader about a report back to the Housing Committee on October 24th, as detailed here in your binders so happy to answer. Any questions are.

A

There any questions seeing none. We will hear from the housing policy and development committee chair by councilmember Gordon.

North second, is a revised bond issuance for Riverside homes and the Cedar Riverside area. The third is a modification to the redevelopment contract with American Indian Community, Development Corporation and the fourth is approving additional, affordable housing trust fund loan. An additional loan of sakuni to $50,000 for the West Broadway West, building, affordable housing project Baptist and for questions are.

A

There any questions.

A

Seeing none we will move next to the public health environment, civil rights and engagement committee chaired by councilmember Cunningham. Thank.

D

You, madam vice president, the public health, environment, civil rights and engagement committee will be bringing forth five items for consideration at Friday's council meeting. The first is accepting a grant from Minneapolis Public Schools in the amount of fifteen hundred dollars for the urban Scholars Program. The second is authorizing an agreements. It authorized any agreement with the CDC to host to staff from the Public Health Associates Program in the Minneapolis Health Department. Those two fellows I, just want to add, will be focusing on healthy living and the school-based clinics for the next two years.

D

The third item is accepting a grant from the MPCA, in the amount of $50,000 for three year period, to ensure a healthier and more environmentally just nail care industry in Minneapolis by improving the health and safety of the industry, workforce I'm, very excited and proud of the environmental environmental programs in the health department, because they've done so many so much great work around dry cleaners, as well as auto body shops and now moving into the nail care industry is also very much so needed.

D

Number four is approving revisions to the community, participate to participation, program, grievance policy and number five is amending a previous council action related to the contract with indigenous roots in the amount of 80 thousand six hundred and forty dollars to conduct outreach activities and provide support to late the Lake Street area and other areas of Minneapolis for people experiencing homelessness and just to give a little bit more background.

D

This contract is being amended so that folks are able to help provide services at the Hiawatha encampments, and on that note, I'm happy to answer any questions are.

A

There any questions, I actually have one question comes from an the indigenous roots. Is that the same group as the natives against heroin or is that a different group I.

D

Will defer that question to councilmember Cano thank.

E

You vice chair vice president Jenkins and peace, chair committee,.

E

So this is a collaborative tea strategies, funding program which was given to the Coalition comprised of Southside harm-reduction natives against heroin and then there's I think a couple of other consultants on board. The fiscal agent is called indigenous roots and they are actually the fiscal agent for three other grants and the collaborative safety strategies cycle and I. Think that's just the capacity thing there's just like a lot of grassroots groups that applied and needed a fiscal agent that could move quickly on this and and they were able to do that.

E

But I, don't know the detail of how many hours and and how many staff members from each organization are invoicing times on that, but I'm sure we could get some of the details from Cheyenne and NCR, but I know. Currently there has been no time billed for work done at the encampment, because the grant was not made to do that, and so this amendment opens it up so future work that happens. Future outreach, work that happens at the encampment can be part of the billing cycle.

A

Thank you, customer cannot does so does so. Indigenous roots does not do direct services, they are just the fiscal agent. Isn't that great? It's.

E

My understanding that are the fiscal agent. There was a recent conversation that I was a part of with a group of them that discussed what kind of support they could bring to the it to the camp and I think that that conversation still happening amongst themselves as organizers and outreach workers and cultural workers, but I'm, not in the day-to-day details of like that.

A

Thank you, I do want to acknowledge that we have been joined by councilmember, Fletcher and Kirk. Do you have a question or comment? No, thank you. So thank you for that report. Are there any other questions or the peace committee chair? No, the next committee will go back then to the housing policy and Development Committee, and we have been joined by councilmember Ellison and I apologize, not the Housing and Development Committee, but the economic development and regulatory Services Committee, and the vice chair is constant.
