From YouTube: July 18, 2018 Committee of the Whole
Description
Minneapolis Committee of the Whole Meeting
A
Good
afternoon
I'm
going
to
call
to
order
the
regularly
scheduled
meeting
of
the
Committee
of
the
Whole
for
Wednesday
July
18th.
My
name
is
Philippe
Cunningham
council
member
for
the
4th,
Ward
and
I
am
the
vice
chair
of
this
committee
with
me
at
the
Dyess,
our
council
members,
Johnson,
Goodman
or
Sami
Schrader
council
president
bender
council,
member
Ellison,
Fred
Fletcher,
Leo,
Reich
and
cano.
Please
let
the
record
reflect
that
we
have
a
quorum
chair.
A
Jenkins
is
currently
at
Harvard
participating
in
the
senior
executives
in
state
and
local
governments
program,
but
we
do
have
a
quorum
still
today.
Just
to
let
my
colleagues
know
as
well,
we
will
be
using
speaker
management
for
today's
meeting
so
on
our
agenda.
For
today
we
have
one
consent,
item
and
two
discussion
items.
The
consent
item
is
local
government
amicus
brief
with
in
Washington
state
versus
United
States.
A
A
Do
they
are
there?
Any
discussion
on
this
item
I
would
like
to
add
that
this
is
in
regards
to.
We
will
be
joining
this
with
Chicago
and
I
believe
the
other
city
is
Los
Angeles
and
it's
about
family
separation.
So
we
are
signing
on
as
a
city
for
that.
So
seeing
no
further
discussion,
I
move
that
item
I,
move
item
1
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye,
those
opposed,
say,
nay.
That
item
carries
now
our
discussion
item.
2
is
the
as
a
presentation
on
the
2020
census.
B
B
Work
is
going
to
have
a
huge
impact
on
the
outcome
of
a
census
and
how
the
outcome
of
the
census
is
going
to
have
a
huge
impact,
not
just
on
our
local
communities,
our
city,
but
our
state
as
well
I'm
here
today
to
ask
for
two
items.
First,
please
accept
and
file
the
request
that
neighborhood
and
community
relations
be
the
primary
Department
staffing
this
work
and
we
will
return
with
progress
reports.
Second,
we
ask
that
the
City
Council
take
action
to
pass
the
resolution
establishing
a
complete
count
committee.
B
All
of
you
are
familiar
with
the
Census
and
the
how
it
impacts
our
lives
through
political
representation,
funding
allocations
and
decision
making.
Nonetheless,
it's
always
helpful
to
have
a
refresher
course
and
we're
lucky
to
have
Susan
Brower
the
state
demographer
in
the
house
today
to
prevent
an
overview
of
the
census
and
some
of
the
challenges
going
into
the
2020
census.
In
addition,
Marsha
a
Ventura
consultant
with
the
Minnesota
Council
on
Foundations
is
here.
B
She's
will
be
speaking
on
behalf
of
the
Minnesota
census,
mobilization
partnership,
a
group
of
foundation,
nonprofit
advocacy
and
government
groups
that
will
convene
that
have
been
convened
to
work
together
to
get
an
accurate
count
of
all
Minnesota
residents.
Marsha
will
present
on
what
effects
what
efforts
are
taking
place
at
the
local
and
federal
level
in
the
advocacy
and
funding
arenas.
Lastly,
I'll
touch
on
what
role
the
city
of
Minneapolis
will
play
in
the
2020
census.
C
The
reason
why
we
take
a
census
we
being
the
US
is
because
we
use
it
to
determine
political
representation.
It's
how
we
apportion
our
congressional
seats.
It's
how
we
draw
our
state
legislative
districts
and
our
council
Ward's
the
city
level.
It
also
determines
the
fair
distribution
of
resources
from
the
federal
to
the
community
level,
to
the
state
level
and
also
from
the
state
level,
to
specific
communities.
C
It
gives
us
the
data
that
we
use
to
plan
for
our
communities.
It's
something
that
businesses
use,
that
the
public
sector,
the
private
sector,
nonprofits
all
use
to
understand
their
communities,
the
characteristics
of
the
communities
and
to
prepare
for
what
communities
will
look
like
in
the
future
and
finally,
probably,
most
importantly,
though,
is
that
it's
required
it's
mandated
by
the
US
Constitution
that
every
ten
years
we
get
a
head
count
of
everyone
in
the
u.s..
That
is
a
head
count
of
everyone,
regardless
of
citizenship
status,
regardless
of
authorization
to
be
in
the
US.
C
The
census
counts
every
one
specifically
for
Minnesota,
just
to
give
you
a
sense
of
the
size
of
of
the
distribution
of
federal
funds
here
in
Minnesota
on
the
basis
of
a
census.
It's
about
eight
billion
dollars
in
federal
funds
that
are
distributed
each
year,
80
billion
over
the
course
of
the
decade,
and
that
comes
out
to
about
$1,500
federal
dollars
per
person
that
distributed
to
Minnesotans
on
the
basis
of
the
census
count.
So
we
have
one
chance
to
get
this
right
in
2020
and
that
number
stays
with
us
for
the
coming
decade.
C
The
types
of
programs
that
are
funded
based
on
the
census
I
know-
maybe
not
everyone
cares
about
the
census.
As
the
census
I
know,
how
could
it
be
right,
but
the
types
of
programs
that
are
funded
through
a
census
counter
or
where
the
distribution
of
funds
are
based
on
the
census
count
are
in
education
in
highway
transportation,
planning,
snap,
WIC,
section,
8
housing,
all
these
programs
that
we
are
familiar
with
and
that
many
of
our
residents
use
are
based
on
a
good.
A
complete
and
accurate
census
count
so
very
generally
how
the
census
works.
C
So
it's
it's
establishing
the
universe
of
where
to
count
well
quickly,
be
moving
into
the
second
phase
that
you
see
here.
The
operation
where
we
educate
people
about
the
census
and
we
motivate
them
to
respond.
This
takes
place
over
the
next
year
to
year
and
a
half
and
it's
something
that
the
Census
Bureau
will
do
as
well,
but
they
rely
on
state
and
local
partners
to
make
sure
that
we
are
reaching
people
who
are
historically
undercounted
or
have
been
hard
to
count
in
the
past.
C
D
You
mr.
chair
I
just
had
a
quick
question
about
how
this
especially
the
address,
collecting
piece
and
relates
to
our
undocumented
residents
in
their
city.
I
know
that's
been
a
challenge
in
past
census
counts,
but
particularly
with
this
administration's
approach,
the
federal
administration's
approach
to
undocumented
residents
is
there
a
need
for
us
to
be
more
mindful
about
that
or
how
does
that
all
work
out
with
outreach?
The
outreach
phase.
C
Vice-Chair
Cunningham
council
president
bender,
it
is
a
concern
this
time,
particularly,
and
we
haven't
talked
about
it
yet,
but
I'm
sure
we
will
with
the
addition
of
the
citizenship
question
that
is
still
something
that
is
being
contested
in
the
courts.
It
has
at
this
point
been
added.
It's
a
question
that
says:
are
you
a
citizen?
Are
you
not
a
citizen?
Were
you
naturalized
or
those
three
categories
are
the
categories
that
you
have
and
it
makes
the
census
taking
all
that
much
more
difficult
in
that
people
will
be
afraid
to
fill
out
their
forms.
C
That's
just
how
things
are.
The
data
are
protected
in
the
Census
Bureau.
Anything
that
goes
into
the
Census
Bureau
is
protected
by
US
federal
code,
title
13
that
says
that
no
nothing
comes
out
of
the
Census
Bureau,
except
for
at
the
aggregate
level
and
after
72
years
is,
is
when
census
data
are
released
at
the
individual
level.
C
The
census,
well,
first,
get
census
results
about
a
year
after
the
census
is
taken
well,
December
of
the
same
year
of
2020,
we'll
get
results
on
the
state
level
counts,
that's
used
for
apportionment,
so,
as
you
asked
about,
there
are
all
kinds
of
new
and
different
contacts
that
will
make
the
census
difficult
to
take
in
2020.
That
will
create
a
new
environment
that
we'll
be
working
with
and
against.
In
some
cases.
One,
of
course,
is
the
distrust
in
government.
That's
something!
C
That's
always
been
there,
of
course,
but
particularly
in
2020,
we
know
that
there
are
groups
that
will
be
afraid
to
fill
out
their
census
forms
and
that's
just
part
of
what
the
census
will
be.
We
have
new
technologies
that
will
be
used.
We
have
new,
complex,
informal
living
arrangements
that
will
make
taking
the
census
complicated,
and
yet,
with
all
these
things,
the
census
will
still
take
place.
The
congressional
redistricting
will
happen
on
the
basis
of
the
census.
C
C
The
funding
looks
okay
for
this
fiscal
year,
but
there
will
be
another
budget
that
gets
sited
for
next
fiscal
year.
So
we'll
see
how
it
looks
after
that's
decided
again
with
the
addition
of
the
citizenship
question.
I
think
this
is
going
to
make
a
big
it'll,
be
a
big
challenge
for
us
to
get
an
accurate
count,
given
the
fears
that
are
out
there
and
it's
something
right
now
that
it
is
in
the
courts,
and
so
it
may
not
ultimately
get
put
on
the
forum,
but
for
right
now
it
is
indeed
on
there.
C
There
are
some
things
that
I
think
are
big
opportunities
and
we're
coming
at
this
from
a
point
of
strength
here
in
Minnesota,
in
that
we
have
people
who
are
engaged
around
the
census
and
already
working
together
and
already
understand
the
importance
of
it.
That's
unique
here
in
the
state
relative
to
other
states.
We
also,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
have
the
ability
to
respond
online
and
that's
going
to
be
something
that
I
think
can
be
a
useful
tool
for
us
as
we
try
to
engage
people
who
may
be
more
reluctant
to
participate.
I.
C
Just
want
to
end
by
showing
you
what
the
population
has
done
in
the
last
seven
years
in
Minneapolis
compared
to
the
decade
before
so.
Between
the
last
two
censuses,
2000
and
2010
Minneapolis
lost
about
40
residents
between
that
whole
decade.
In
the
last
seven
years,
the
estimate
is
about
41,000
people,
who've
been
added
to
the
city
in
just
seven
years,
and
we
have
three
more
to
go
right
inside
until
we
get
to
2020.
C
So
it's
going
to
be
a
challenge
not
only
to
count
the
people
who
were
already
living
here
in
2010
at
the
last
census,
but
to
make
sure
that
we
account
for
that
growth.
I
think
how
the
the
census
goes
in
Minneapolis
and
the
success
of
the
census
in
this
city
will
determine
the
success
of
it
in
the
state.
Overall,
it's
a
really
important
piece
of
of
how
the
census
will
go
for
us,
and
so
with
that
I
will
turn
it
over
to
Marsha.
E
E
E
Our
state
demographer,
with
whom
we
work
closely
in
the
community,
has
presented
the
role
of
the
public
sector
and
the
work
that
we
know
is
so
critical
for
all
of
the
reasons
expressed
its
resources,
its
fairness
and
political
representation.
We
need
to
get
this
right,
but
we
all
learned
in
the
2000
census
and
in
2010
that
we
have
to
have
a
strong
community
component,
a
really
good
field
operation.
E
E
We
also
have
a
strong
business
outreach
in
should've
because,
as
you
well
know,
the
business
community
has
a
vested
interest
in
census
data
and
they
also
have
a
great
reach
to
their
employees
and
their
customers,
so
we're
working
primarily
with
the
nonprofit
and
at
faith
and
philanthropic
sectors,
but
we're
also
working
with
the
business
community
and
with
the
legal
community
and
in
the
work
that
we
are
doing.
We
are
trying
to
be
as
comprehensive
as
we
can
be
and
at
this
point
in
time,
promoting
awareness
and
engagement.
E
We're
probably
getting
anywhere
in
the
country
about
how
communities
are
thinking
about
the
census.
What
they're
concerned
about?
Perhaps
what
they're
excited
about
so
we're
gonna
use
that
to
shape
very
specific,
targeted
messages
that
people
in
and
of
the
community
can
share
in
their
communities
to
invite
the
highest
possible
level
of
participation
also
worked
on
policy
development.
We
are
tackling
to
the
best
of
our
ability
at
the
state
level.
This
problem
of
the
citizenship,
question
and
I
think
we
would
agree
it's
a
problem
because
it's
creating
distrust
and
mistrust
at
a
higher
level.
E
So
we
have
been
working
with
the
states
that
are
filing
the
lawsuit
says.
You
know,
Minnesota
is
part
of
I
joined
the
New
York
lawsuit
in
the
effort
to
stop
the
citizen
question
from
being
included,
and
we
also
tried
to
be
as
strong
a
voice
as
we
could
be
in
seeking
adequate
funding
for
the
census,
because
the
Starving
of
the
Census
Bureau
has
meant
that
we
are
going
out
with
a
new
technology
and
they
because
of
the
budget
constraints,
have
not
been
able
to
test
that
as
fully
as
they
would
have
liked
to.
E
But
this
is
a
way
for
you
to
just
tap
into
really
as
much
as
you
want
to
get
and
because
you're
going
to
be
discussing
a
city
complete
count,
committee
you'll
be
aware
of
the
work
going
on
at
the
state
complete
count
committee.
It
will
be
a
useful
way
for
you
to
tap
into
resources
and
get
easy
to
digest.
Quick
updates
of
things
that
are
happening.
E
Karen
asked
me
if
I
would
also
talk
a
little
bit
about
what's
happening
at
the
national
level,
in
addition
to
the
work
that
I
am
doing
with
the
Council
on
Foundations
here
and
with
our
colleagues
at
the
Council
of
nonprofits
common
cause
and
numerous
other
groups,
I'm
part
of
a
national
funders
collaborative
that
is
working
to
raise
signal
dollars,
as
they
did
in
2010
to
support
both
the
policy
components
of
the
census
work
and
the
mobilization
efforts
in
2010.
This
group
of
national
funders
raised
35
million
dollars.
E
They
are
going
to
exceed
that
by
a
significant
amounts.
Considering
the
challenges
posed
this
year
by
the
budget,
shortfall
of
the
Census
Bureau
has
experienced
the
new
technology
that
will
be
in
play
and
the
challenges
that
will
result
and
are
resulting
frankly,
regardless
of
the
outcomes
of
whether
the
citizenship
question
is
on
the
census.
Questionnaire
itself
or
not.
The
word
is
out
there.
The
level
of
concern
about
it
is
high,
especially
in
communities
where
there
are
undocumented
residents,
so
the
funders
are
operating
really
in
two
pools.
E
One
is
a
funders
democracy
Network,
which
is
raising
the
money,
and
there
is
a
funder
census
initiative
which
is
working
with
them
on
everything
from
the
research
that
you
saw.
How
much
money
goes
to
the
states
and
in
which
programs?
Where
are
we
going
to
be
able
to
identify
the
likely
more
difficult
to
count
populations?
E
What
are
the
messages
that
work
so
I
think
we
stand
for
questions,
but
the
community
part
of
this
is
going
to
be
huge.
You'll
continue
to
hear
more
about
it.
We're
excited
about
it,
I'm
surprised,
because
for
many
people
the
census
is
an
abstraction,
the
census,
oh
that's
far
away,
but
once
we
go
into
the
very
first
parts
of
the
demographers
discussion
about
why
this
matters
people
are
on
fire,
and
so
we're
we're
excited
about
this
and
happy
to
answer
questions
that
you
might
have.
A
B
Thank
You
Susan
marchia,
actually,
that's
a
great
segue,
Maritimes
I'm,
going
to
say
I.
Think
for
many
of
us
I'm
gonna
talk
about
what
we're
gonna.
Our
role
of
the
city
will
be
and
I
think
for
many
of
us
in
the
government
sector
or
in
the
public
policy
sector.
We
understand
when
we
talk
about
political
representation,
funding,
allocation
and
decision
making
previously
coming
to
the
city,
I
work
for
a
non-profit
and
I
manage
programs
like
the
Federal
Energy
Assistance
Program
snap
outreach,
managed
HUD
grants,
I
managed,
Community,
Development,
Block,
Grants,
I,
managed
community
service.
B
Block,
Grants
and
I
can
tell
you.
Every
day
we
worked
with
people
who
relied
on
those
programs
in
order
to
keep
their
housing
to
put
food
on
their
table
and
to
make
sure
that
they
heating
electricity
in
their
homes.
The
impact
that
the
census
outcome
will
have
for
those
of
us
in
this
room
is
important
for
our
community
members.
This
is
huge.
B
With
that
in
mind,
what
we
can
do
is
local
cities
across
the
country
are
already
looking
at
dedicating
resources
to
the
census.
Participating
in
the
local
update
of
census
addresses
creating
a
complete
count
committee
and
focusing
our
efforts
really
on
historically
undercounted
communities.
I
want
to
touch
on
the
local
update
to
census
addresses
we
did
participate
in
this
already.
We've
submitted
our
update
to
the
US
Census
Bureau
on
July,
9th
I
believe
Susan
referenced.
B
The
significance
of
this
work
I
will
tell
you
that,
as
a
result
of
the
work
that
city
of
Minneapolis
did,
we
were
able
to
add
5300
addresses
to
the
census.
Rolls
you
can
imagine,
that's
5,300
addresses
that
will
get
the
initial
survey.
Hopefully
many
of
them
will
return
it.
It
also
means
that
the
limited
resources
we
have
to
do
follow-up
works,
such
as
door
knocking
and
canvassing
can
be
used
really
in
communities
where
we
need
it.
I
want
to
especially
thank
information,
technology
and
regulatory
services
for
the
work
that
they
did
partnering
on
this.
B
There
will
be
another
Lucca
update
in
the
spring
of
next
year
to
add
some
additional.
The
additional
addresses
that
are
coming
coming
on,
and
you
can
imagine
with
all
of
the
buildings
that
have
been
built
in
the
last
ten
just
think
last
two
years,
how
many
addresses
that
adds
and
how
important
that
is,
that
we
do
participate
in
the
Lucca
again,
our
efforts
really
are
going
to
be
on
the
under
counter
communities.
B
We
believe
this
is
the
most
important
thing
the
city
can
focus
on
right
now,
in
order
to
assure
that
we
get
an
accurate
count
of
all
of
our
residents.
I
wanted
to
share
a
little
bit
of
information
from
previous
census.
The
participation
rates
that
the
city
of
Minneapolis
had
this
also
shows
you
the
response
rate
from
2000
and
2010
Jeff
Schneider,
who
is
here
today,
was
working
on
C
pit.
At
the
time
was
the
primary
staff
you
can
see,
we
improved
our
response
rate
between
twenty
two
thousand
and
two
thousand
ten.
B
With
that
in
mind,
we're
here
today
really
to
ask
you
to
pass
the
resolution
to
stablish
a
complete
count
committee.
This
is
one
of
the
main
things
that
our
city
can
do.
We
are
not
the
only
city
doing
this
cities
across
our
state
and
across
the
country.
Right
now
are
talking
about
establishing
a
complete
count.
Committee
I
pass
out
a
flyer.
You
should
have
something
in
front
of
you
from
the
US
Census
Bureau.
Just
to
give
you
a
brief
overview.
B
B
The
complete
count
committee
really
is
designed
to
supplement
the
work
of
the
federal
government.
With
that
in
mind,
we
are
asking
the
complete
count
committee
to
be
made
up
of
representatives
from
historically
undercounted
communities.
We
have
some
listed
up
there.
We've
asked
for
at
least
one
representative
from
each
of
them,
along
with
the
under-counter
communities,
we're
asking
for
geographical
representation,
as
well
as
representatives
from
arts
and
creative
economy
and
business,
religious
and
foundation
sectors.
It
doesn't
limit
it
to
those
that
just
means.
B
B
We're
coming
to
you
early
this
year,
I
think,
10
years
ago
we
came
about
a
year
out
from
the
actual
census,
we're
coming
to
18
months,
close
to
2
years
out
and
we're
doing
that
with
intention
1
because
of
the
challenges
going
into
the
2020
election,
but
also
because
we
believe
there's
an
opportunity
with
the
complete
committee
to
actually
spend
some
time
building
relationships
with
each
other.
We
believe
that's
important
to
do,
especially
with
our
historically
undercounted
communities.
B
We
also
believe
that
we're
going
to
need
sufficient
time
to
identify
strategies
and
messages
that
really
are
relevant
and
meaningful
to
our
community
members
that
are
going
to
face
the
biggest
challenge
in
terms
of
deciding
whether
or
not
to
complete
the
census
or
understanding
how
to
complete
the
census.
With
that
in
mind,
here's
a
general
timeline.
B
We
would
like
to
establish
the
complete
committee
now
and
have
our
first
meeting
relatively
soon
with
time
to
build
relationships
yet
this
year
and
then
focus
on
identifying
strategies
and
messages
that
will
work
and
identify
what
work
we
will
be
doing
in
front
of
us
in
2019
and
2020.
The
committee
will
wrap
up
in
June
of
2020
with
enough
time
for
us
to
reflect
upon
the
work
that
we
did
again
we're
here
today
to
request
council
action,
approving
the
resolution
to
establish
a
complete
count
committee
with
that
we're
finished.
A
Right,
thank
you.
Everyone
for
that
I
just
wanted
to
and
add
myself
in
the
queue
here.
I
just
wanted
to
add.
Knowing
my
community
that
I
wanted
to
put
out
there
again.
I
know
that
the
homeless
population
is
is,
is
something
that
has
been
discussed
and
what
I
was
thinking
around
with
that
as
being
able
to
maybe
have
youth,
lead,
homeless,
youth
being
able
to
go
out
and
participate
with
the
outreach,
and
so
just
thinking
about
opportunities
like
that.
A
I
think
also
that
more
than
likely
folks
aren't
really
thinking
about
gang
and
clique
involved
folks
and
how
those
folks
are
hard
to
reach.
But
we
really
need
to
be
counted.
All
folks
need
to
be
counted,
and
so
thinking
about
how
we're
building
relationships
with
folks,
who
really
are
on
the
ground
and
connected
with
some
of
the
hardest
to
reach
folks,
who
more
than
likely
won't
trust.
The
information
going
to
the
government
anyway
and
so
I
just
I,
could
see
a
lot
of
resistance.
A
But
we
really
need
to
make
sure
that
the
folks
would
need
the
resources
the
most
are
able
to
access
it,
and
the
last
thing
is
I
believe
my
word
is
over
20%
long
and
one
of
the
things
that
I
have
frequently
heard
from
the
community
is
again
a
distrust
of
government.
The
government
has
been
harmful,
it's
it
like
that
is
what
the
government
represents
is
is
harm,
and
so
thinking
about
how
this
can
also
be
an
opportunity
for
us
to
build
trust
with
the
community
as
well
could
be
a
big
opportunity.
B
F
You
mr.
chair
and
thank
you,
ms
MO,
and
thank
you
to
everybody
who's
doing
this
work.
It
is
so
so
so
important.
This
is
really
the
data
that
comes
out
of
this
ends
up
being
a
huge
part
of
how
we
understand
ourselves
as
we
look
at
our
community
and
in
addition
to
being
just
critical
for
making
sure
we
have
the
representation
that
we
need
at
every
level
of
government
and
and
the
funds
that
come
in
I
just
think.
F
It's
a
really
really
important
thing
for
us
to
just
end
up
and
be
counted
and
I've
been
out
on
the
doors
doing
this
work
and
past
census,
cycles
and
I
know
it's
both
really
rewarding
and
really
hard
work.
So
thanks
in
advance
to
everybody,
who's
making
it
happen
and
I
hope.
I
speak
for
most
of
my
colleagues
or
all
of
my
colleagues
that
we'll
get
out
there,
yeah
I
think
it's
very
important
that
we
be
out
there
talking
to
people
and
and
helping
get
this
done.
One
thing
I'm
wondering
about:
we
have
a
particular
challenge.
F
This
cycle,
which
is
I,
don't
know
if
you
noticed,
as
you
came
downtown,
there's
a
lot
of
cranes
and
there's
a
lot
of
buildings
that
are
getting
built
that
haven't
come
online
yet
and
that
aren't
on
the
current
list
of
addresses.
And
so
as
we
do,
the
census
collection.
There
are
going
to
be
new
addresses
constantly
coming
online
and
I'm
curious.
How
we
plan
to
adjust
for
that
and
make
sure
that
we're
actually
knocking
on
every
door.
Mm-Hmm.
C
The
Census
Bureau
will
have
what
they
call
an
operation
for
new
construction
that
begins
now
and
goes
to
through
2020
or
April
2020,
so,
to
the
extent
that
local
governments,
including
city
state,
county
governments,
can
share
building
permits
which
they
already
do,
but
that
they
can
continue
to
make
sure
that
the
Census
Bureau
has
the
most
up-to-date
information
that
will
help
that
program
move
along
smoothly.
So
the
checking
that
we
were
talking
about
that
says
of
everything
that's
been
built
today,
as
of
2020
18,
but
moving
forward.
There's
another
operation
that
looks
at
new
housing.
G
You,
mr.
chair,
so
this
is
the
third
time
I've
been
through
the
census
effort,
and
one
of
the
things
I
just
want
to
point
out
is
at
this
point
in
time,
given
the
fact
that
Minnesota
could
lose
a
congressional
seat
that,
if
that
happens,
Minneapolis
and
st.
Paul
could
be
combined
as
a
possibility
and
what
is
at
stake.
I
really
think
that
we
as
elected
officials,
should
redouble
our
efforts
to
get
the
word
out.
G
I'm,
not
saying
anyone
would
not
do
that,
but
in
the
past
there
hasn't
really
been
a
key
focus
on
elected
leadership
at
the
city.
Taking
responsibility
for
trying
to
reach
out
to
groups,
we
haven't
been
able
to
reach
out
to
we've
done
a
good
job,
but
it's
not
going
to
be
good
enough.
This
time,
when
you
look
at
the
numbers
of
how
much
money
we
get
back
from
the
federal
government,
I
wish,
you
would
have
just
opposed
that
compared
to
what
we
pay
in,
because
you'll
find
out.
G
The
number
is
really
low
and
a
lot
of
that
federal
funding
pays
for
homelessness
services,
social
services,
as
well
as
housing
things
that
we've
identified
is
extremely
important.
I'll
also
note:
why
did
it
seem
like?
Oh,
my
gosh
we've
been
building
so
much
housing
for
two
decades?
Well,
because
the
financial
crisis
resulted
in
a
massive
foreclosure
problem
where
the
population
in
places
like
the
fourth
fourth
word,
really
diminished
fast,
and
so
it
wasn't.
The
city
wasn't
working
to
do
things.
It
was
that
we
were
trying
to
keep.
H
G
Major
way,
and
since
we've
social
medias
become
so
prevalent
now
too,
we
have
the
opportunity,
through
email
and
other
forms
of
social
media,
to
reach
out
to
people
in
a
way
we
haven't
and
to
those
who
don't
traditionally
respond
to
the
kinds
of
communications
we've
had.
It
might
not
work
great
to
get
everybody
in
a
complan
process,
but
that
younger
population
is
on
social
media
and
we
need
them
to
be
counted.
G
So
I
think
that
this
should
take
a
level
of
urgency
amongst
elected
leadership,
in
a
way
that
it
has
not
before,
because
the
stakes
for
us-
and
you
know
many
of
you
who
will
be
here
for
decades-
it
will
have
a
long,
lasting
tale
if
we
don't
get
it
right
this
time.
So
I
very
much
appreciate
you
putting
this
on
the
agenda
and
I
hope
that
we
can
really
heighten
the
awareness
amongst
everyone
on
our
team,
all
city
employees,
perhaps
mm-hmm,
to
figure
out
how
we
can
get
this
right.
A
You
councilmember
Goodman
are
there
any
other
questions
or
comments
from
my
colleagues
all
right,
seeing
none
with
that.
I
will
make
the
recommended
motions,
directing
NCR
staff
to
provide
progress,
reports
on
2020
census
activities
and
establishing
the
complete
count
committee
to
serve
as
an
advisory
board
to
the
City
Council,
seeing
no
further
discussion,
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
aye
aye,
those
opposed,
say,
nay.
That
item
carries
if
I
also
may
take
a
point
of
privilege
very
quickly.
A
I
just
wanted
to
give
a
quick
shout-out
to
miss
Marsha
Avner,
because
I
actually
learned
about
policy
advocacy
from
Marsh
in
Hebner,
and
she
literally
wrote
the
book
on
it.
So
I
think
it's
necessary
to
honor
those
who
have
helped
us
get
to
the
places
where
we
are
now,
and
so
thank
you
very
much
for
all
of
your
work
all
right.
So,
let's
go
ahead
and
move
on
to
discussion.
A
I
Good
afternoon
Thank
You.
Mr.
chairman
pleased,
the
committee
has
announced
I'm
here
today
to
provide
an
informational
report
about
the
statutory
processes
for
amending
the
city
charter.
I'll
start
with
some
high-level
history
within
our
federal
system
of
government
under
the
US
Constitution.
As
we
know,
cities
are
creatures
or
creations
of
the
state
government.
Cities
have
primarily
delegated
power
and
only
those
inherent
powers
that
are
related
to
the
delegation
of
authority
from
the
state.
I
The
first
state
to
pass
a
Home
Rule
Charter
was
Missouri
in
1875
shortly
thereafter,
California,
Minnesota
and
Washington
followed
suit,
and
during
the
Progressive
Era
of
the
early
1900's
Home
Rule
Authority
was
granted
in
a
growing
number
of
states
which
reflected
a
national
focus
on
municipal
reform,
as
well
as
a
desire
by
local
communities
for
local
control
and
local
autonomy.
At
the
current
time,
32
states
do
provide
a
constitutional
grant
of
Home
Rule
Authority
to
their
local
jurisdictions.
I
That
includes
the
state
of
Minnesota
of
the
853
cities
in
Minnesota
107
operate
under
Home
Rule
charters,
and
that
includes
the
city
of
Minneapolis.
A
Home
Rule
Charter
is
the
equivalent
of
a
local
Constitution.
It
creates,
what's
known
as
a
Municipal
Corporation,
the
city
government,
which
has
perpetual
life
under
the
law
and
is
vested
with
full
power
and
authority
of
local
government
to
the
exercise
at
the
local
level
for
health
safety
and
the
common
welfare
of
its
Pia.
While
a
Home,
Rule
Charter
does
and
address
many
important
purposes.
I
Some
of
its
most
important
are
that
it
defines
the
powers
of
a
municipal
government
and
the
powers
or
authority
that
are
withheld
by
the
people.
It
prescribes
the
Municipal
Corporation's
operating
structure,
including
its
officers,
the
number
of
officers,
their
qualifications,
manner
of
selection
and
their
duties,
and
it
specifies
the
official
processes
through
which
the
municipal
government
takes
official
action,
makes
decisions
or
delegations
and
implements
and
enforces,
policy
for
your
reference.
I
I've
included
in
your
briefing
materials,
a
copy
of
an
informational
memo,
that's
produced
by
the
League
of
Minnesota
cities
about
Home
Rule
charters,
as
well
as
a
copy
of
the
current
statute,
which
covers
how
charters
are
amended
that
section
for
10.12.
The
file
also
includes
a
copy
of
my
PowerPoint
presentation
and
copies
of
all
of
the
same
are
available
from
the
clerk
from
its
incorporation.
I
In
1867,
the
city
of
Minneapolis
has
operated
under
the
direct
purview
of
the
state
legislature,
either
as
dictated
by
uniformed
statutes
that
were
applicable
to
all
cities
of
the
first-class
or
special
laws
only
applicable
to
Minneapolis.
This
is
sometimes
referred
to
as
the
period
when
Minneapolis
operated
under
a
legislative
Charter.
However,
this
was
not
a
home
world
Charter,
as
that
term
is
understood.
I
In
fact,
it
was
prior
to
the
creation
of
Home
Rule
authority
in
the
state
in
1896,
29
years
after
the
city
of
Minneapolis
incorporated,
Minnesota
became
the
fourth
state
in
the
United
States
to
authorize
Home
Rule
Authority,
yet
the
residents
of
Minneapolis
resisted
home
rule
for
more
than
24
years
after
it
wasn't
until
1920
that
the
first
Home
Rule
Charter
for
the
city
of
Minneapolis
was
enacted.
Interestingly
enough,
that's
the
same
year
that
the
nineteenth
Amendment
of
the
US
Constitution
was
ratified.
I
Granting
women
the
franchise,
unlike
other
city
charters,
the
Minneapolis
Charter
had
an
unusual
beginning
rather
than
being
deliberately
drafted
according
to
a
set
of
legislative
and
legal
principles.
How
her
first
Charter
was
simply
an
amalgamation
of
all
of
the
laws
that
existed
at
that
time.
For
cities
in
the
state
cities
of
the
first-class
and
special
laws
specific
to
the
city
of
Minneapolis
that
were
cobbled
together
as
our
charter.
I
So,
as
shown
on
this
slide,
there
are
essentially
two
pathways
that
can
be
used
to
amend
the
city
charter.
These
are
provided
under
Minnesota
statute,
section
4,
10.12
and,
as
shown
here,
the
first
path
is
by
ballot
via
referendum
to
the
qualified
voters
of
the
city.
This
path
ensures
that
the
electorate
makes
the
determination
if
the
Charter
is
to
be
amended.
The
statute
contemplates
that
this
is
the
default
manner
for
amending
a
charter.
The
other
methods
for
amending
the
Charter
are
described
as
alternative
methods,
the
second
path.
I
I
So
this
slide,
then
visually
depicts
the
amendment
process
by
the
key
actors
involved,
depending
on
whether
that
amendment
is
initiated
by
ballot.
What
I'll
call
referendum
or
by
ordinance,
as
illustrated
a
proposal
to
amend
the
Charter
via
referendum,
may
be
done
by
the
Charter
Commission
or
by
the
community
via
a
petition
process
through
the
Charter
Commission.
These
processes
are
dictated
under
subdivisions,
1,
2,
&,
3
of
the
statute.
The
City
Council
also
may
propose
a
referendum
to
voters
and
that's
dictated
by
subdivision
5
the
green
circle.
I
That's
on
this
slide
around
the
Charter
Commission
and
the
citizen
petition
process
show
here
that
this
is
what
the
statue
identifies
as
the
default
amendment
process,
as
well
as
the
fact
that
the
routes
through
the
Charter,
Commission
and
a
citizen
petition
process
are
subject
to
separate
timelines
that
do
not
govern
the
council.
I'll
address
all
those
timelines
in
a
different
slide.
A
proposal
to
amend
the
Charter
can
also
be
made
via
ordinance,
as
I
said,
when
it's
recommended
by
the
Charter
Commission.
I
So
the
orange
arrow
here
shows
that
the
statute
says
the
progress
of
fit
or
that
process
officially
is
initiated
by
the
Charter
Commission,
regardless
of
where
the
idea
actually
originates.
So
once
the
Charter
Commission
submits
its
recommendation
to
the
City
Council
it
we
call,
it
starts
the
clock
in
terms
of
the
statutory
timeline
to
complete
the
process
and
again
I'll
address
timelines.
In
another
slide.
The
entire
process
for
amending
ordinance
by
ordinance
or
amending
the
Charter
by
ordinance
shown
on
the
right
side
is
governed
under
subdivision
7
of
the
statute.
I
This
slide
presents
an
alternative
view
of
that
process,
mostly
focused
on
the
actors
involved
and
what
processes?
The
different
actors
have
so,
as
shown,
the
Charter
Commission
has
the
primary
and
leading
role
in
handling
amendments,
whether
its
proposed
by
referendum
or
by
ordinance
in
every
situation.
The
Charter
Commission
has
the
ability
to
influence
them
in
the
process,
either
directly
or
indirectly,
and
this
reflects
the
unique
role
of
our
Charter
Commission.
I
If
the
Charter
is
the
city's
constitution,
the
Charter
Commission
is
our
standing
Constitutional
Convention,
the
Commission
is
the
body
which
holds
the
Charter
and
Trust
on
behalf
of
the
people
of
Minneapolis,
and
it
is
empowered
under
the
law
to
propose
or
to
process
proposals
to
amend
the
Charter
at
any
time.
I
should
note
here
too,
that
the
Charter
Commission
is
not
an
agency
of
the
city
government.
This
is
sometimes
a
point
of
confusion.
The
Charter
Commission
is
created
and
exists
under
state
law,
and
its
members
are
appointed
by
the
district
court
through
its
chief
judge.
I
So
some
of
the
key
questions
that
are
considered
when
an
amendment
is
proposed
are
listed
on
this
slide.
The
answers
to
these
questions
can
shape
the
process
and
timelines
that
govern
the
handling
of
an
amendment.
These
are
by
no
means
the
questions
that
determine
whether
an
amendment
to
the
Charter
proceeds,
but
at
a
very
high
level.
The
question
of
whether
or
not
a
proposal
is
appropriate
as
an
amendment
to
the
Charter
can
be
impacted
by
whether
or
not
the
subject
is
constitutional
in
nature.
I
That
is,
does
it
pertain
to
the
form
the
function,
the
purposes
and
the
general
operation
of
the
city
government
legislative
issues
are
handled
through
ordinances.
You
recall,
I,
said
ordinances.
Are
your
version
of
municipal
statutes,
so
proposals
that
tend
to
be
legislative
in
character
are
most
generally
not
appropriate.
I
As
amendments
to
the
city
charter
and
of
course,
it
is
inappropriate
to
submit
a
ballot
question
that
would
be
in
conflict
with
federal
or
state
law,
and
the
City
Council
is
under
no
obligation
to
submit
questions
if
they
are
in
conflict
with
higher-level
Authority
in
terms
of
process
and
timing.
Whether
an
amendment
is
proposed
by
ballot
or
by
ordinance
and
whether
it
is
initiated
by
the
Charter,
Commission
or
a
citizen
petition
or
by
the
City
Council
does
affect
the
timeline
and
how
the
amendment
would
be
handled.
I
So
the
primary
process
for
amending
the
Charter
by
ballot
I'll
start
with
first
that's
shown
on
the
left
side
and
green,
as
indicated
the
Charter
Commission,
as
our
constitutional
convention
is
empowered
to
propose
or
to
consider
amendments
at
any
time.
However,
if
a
question
is
initiated
by
the
Charter
Commission
and
it's
to
be
referred
to
the
electorate,
it
must
be
submitted
to
the
city
clerk
no
less
than
17
weeks
before
the
scheduled
date
of
the
general
election.
I
Having
that
statutory
deadline
enables
us
to
look
out
years
in
advance
in
order
to
determine
what
the
timeline
will
be
year
by
year
to
submit
and
consider
ballot
proposals.
For
that
reason,
the
Charter
Commission
generally
requires
that
ballot
proposals
be
submitted
to
it
in
final
form
prior
to
its
June
meeting
each
year.
The
Charter
Commission's
rules
require
that
it
conduct
a
public
hearing
on
each
substantive
amendment
proposal
unless
the
requirement
of
the
public
hearing
is
waived
by
a
two-thirds
vote
of
its
members.
I
If
the
Charter
Commission
takes
action
to
submit
a
ballot
question,
that
proposes
a
question
to
the
electorate.
It
is
the
City
Council,
but
not
the
Charter
Commission
that
determines
the
language
of
that
ballot.
Question
that
submitted
a
citizen's
petition
to
amend
the
city
charter
in
the
form
of
a
referendum
is
a
bit
more
complex.
The
petition
must
be
sponsored
by
what
they
call
a
committee,
which
consists
of
at
least
five
qualified
voters.
I
The
petition
itself
must
be
uniform
and
character,
and
it
must
include
the
full
text
of
the
proposed
amendment
unless
that
text
exceeds
1,000
words.
If
the
text
is
more
than
a
thousand
words,
then
the
Charter
Commission
gets
to
approve
a
summary
that
is
sufficient
to
explain
the
intention
of
that
proposal
to
voters
and
then
either
the
full
text
or
the
summary
must
appear
on
every
page
of
the
petition.
I
The
final
petition
must
be
signed
by
a
number
of
registered
voters
equal
to
at
least
5%,
of
the
total
number
of
votes
that
were
cast
in
the
last
state
general
election
again
under
its
rules,
the
Charter
Commission
conducts
a
public
hearing
on
the
amendment.
If
it's
the
subject
of
a
petition,
although
this
could
be
waived
by
a
two-thirds
vote
and
as
with
ballot
proposals
initiated
by
the
Charter
Commission,
a
referendum,
that's
initiated
by
petition,
must
be
submitted
to
the
city
clerk
no
later
than
17
weeks
prior
to
the
date
of
the
general
election.
I
For
that
reason,
the
Charter
Commission
tries
to
coordinate
the
acceptance
of
petitions
from
the
public
prior
to
its
regular
meeting
in
June
every
year.
The
clerk's
office
helps
the
Charter
Commission
by
calculating
these
submission
deadlines,
and
we
post
that
information
to
the
city's
website
for
public
access
and
information
after
the
petition
is
submitted.
The
city
clerk
must
validate
that
the
petition
is
sufficient
under
the
law
within
10
days.
If
the
petition
is
found
to
be
insufficient,
then
the
petition
committee
can
cure
that
petition
by
filing
one
or
more
supplements
during
an
extended
10-day
period.
I
The
City
Council
also
has
the
ability
to
refer
a
proposed
amendment
to
voters,
but
has
a
bit
more
flexibility
in
terms
of
timing.
The
council
must
submit
a
ballot
question
no
later
than
74
days
before
the
date
of
the
election,
and
this
is
provided
under
a
different
statute.
It's
not
under
the
statute
that
talks
about
charter
amendments
for
10.12.
It's
actually
found
under
the
election
statute
under
205
point
16
subdivision
for
procedurally
as
an
ordinance.
I
The
major
deviation,
which
is
required
under
state
law,
if
it's
initiated
by
the
council,
is
that
the
ordinance
after
it's
been
perfected
through
the
councils
committee
process
must
be
referred
by
the
City
Council
to
the
Charter
Commission
for
its
consideration.
You
recall
I
said
the
Charter.
Commission
must
touch
every
proposal
to
amend
the
Charter
so
upon
receipt.
The
Charter
Commission
has
up
to
a
total
of
150
days
to
consider
that
proposal.
The
Charter
Commission
has
these
options.
They
may
approve
the
proposal
that
the
council
submits
to
it.
I
The
council
has
the
option
of
either
referring
its
original
proposal
to
the
ballot
so
that
voters
can
vote
on
its
original
proposal
or
the
council
can
amend
its
ordinance
to
include
the
substitute
proposal
that
the
Charter
Commission
submitted
to
it,
as
provided
under
the
city
charter
section
4.4,
a
3a
passage
of
an
ordinance
in
his
final
form
must
be
passed
with
the
affirmative
vote
of
at
least
a
majority
of
the
entire
membership
of
the
City
Council,
and
that
is
seven
affirmative
votes.
Then
consistent
with
the
city
charter.
I
The
ordinance
must
be
submitted
to
the
mayor
for
consideration
and
the
mayor
has
these
options
and
there
may
approve
the
ordinance
and
sign
it.
The
mayor
may
disapprove
and
veto
the
ordinance.
If
the
mayor
vetoes
or
disapproves
with
the
ordinance,
then
the
City
Council
at
its
next
regular
meeting,
may
override
and
pass
the
ordinance
notwithstanding
the
mayor's
objections
by
a
two-thirds
vote
of
its
entire
membership.
If
the
ordinance
is
enacted,
then
the
city
clerk
publishes
it
and
transmits
the
final
approved
ballot
language
to
the
county
to
these
submitted
to
voters.
I
In
any
scenario
where
a
ballot
question
is
proposed
to
amend
the
Charter,
the
final
authority
for
fixing
the
language
is
vested
in
the
City
Council.
That's
provided
under
subdivision
4
of
the
statute.
Seen
on
this
slide,
if
at
least
51
percent
of
the
votes
cast
on
the
ballot
question
itself
are
in
favor
of
its
passage
did
inanimate
is
approved.
Otherwise
it
fails.
If
an
amendment
is
enacted
at
the
ballot,
the
city
clerk
must
file
certified
copies
with
both
the
state
and
the
county.
I
The
amendment
itself
doesn't
become
legally
effective
until
at
least
30
days
after
the
date
of
the
election,
although
a
later
date
may
be
provided
within
the
amendment.
So
that
summarizes
the
process
of
amending
the
three
ways
by
referendum.
So
I'll
turn
now
to
amending
the
Charter
by
ordinance
as
a
reminder
again,
this
is
the
way
that
policymakers
would
amend
the
Charter
without
going
to
the
electorate.
This
is
the
way
we've
used
to
amend
the
charter
in
the
past.
Most
often,
the
entire
process
for
amending
ordinances
are
amending.
I
The
Charter
by
ordinance
is
set
forth
in
subdivision
seven
and
again,
this
is
usually
used
for
administrative
or
non
substantive
amendments.
It's
not
usually
used
for
a
very
significant
or
substantive
proposal.
Sometimes
we
refer
to
these
or
as
administrative
or
housekeeping
changes,
and
the
reason
we
try
not
to
make
major
sensitive
amendments
to
the
Charter
through
this
process
is
simply
because
it
bypasses
the
ballot
box
as
our
constitution
of
the
city,
it's
best
and
the
preferred
method
to
submit
submit
a
substantive
proposals
to
the
voters.
I
That's
not
a
law,
but
it
has
been
our
past
practice
and
a
good
one.
I
think
so
that
the
voters
make
a
decision
on
substantive
proposals,
no
matter
where
the
idea
for
an
amendment
by
ordinance
originates
as
I
mentioned,
the
process
formally
begins
with
the
Charter
Commission.
So,
even
if
the
council
has
an
idea
for
an
amendment
that
they
want
to
do
by
ordinance,
they
would
submit
that
to
the
Charter
Commission.
I
First,
it
must
publish
a
notice
of
a
public
hearing
on
the
proposed
amendment
setting
the
date
and
time
and
the
general
subject
matter
of
the
hearing
and
at
the
same
time,
the
proposal
is
referred
to
the
city
attorney
so
that
the
ordinance
can
be
drafted.
The
public
hearing
must
be
conducted
no
less
than
two
weeks
after
the
notice
is
published
and
not
more
than
one
month
after
publication,
consistent
with
the
regular
legislative
process,
the
public
hearing
is
usually
conducted
by
the
standing
committee
having
subject
matter
jurisdiction
for
our
purposes.
I
The
intergovernmental
relations
committee
is
the
standing
committee
that
has
subject
matter
jurisdiction
over
the
city
charter
and
charter
amendment
proposals
and
is
the
official
liaison
our
channel
to
the
Charter
Commission.
Thus,
in
this
case,
it's
anticipated
that
public
hearing
on
a
proposed
amendment
would
be
handled
by
the
intergovernmental
relations
committee
within
a
month
of
the
close
of
the
public
hearing.
I
The
matter
would
be
referred
back
to
the
City
Council
for
final
action
on
the
ordinance,
because
this
process
bypasses
voters,
as
I
mentioned,
the
threshold
required
for
passage
of
the
ordinance
is
the
highest
possible
in
order
to
adopt
or
enact
an
ordinance
that
amends
the
city
charter
by
ordinance.
It
requires
a
unanimous
affirmative
vote
of
the
entire
membership
of
the
City
Council
that
is
13
affirmative
votes.
It
also
requires
the
approval
of
the
mayor.
I
If
the
ordinance
is
enacted
in
conformance
with
this
maximum
possible
threshold,
then
the
city
clerk
would
publish
the
ordinance
as
required
by
state
law
and
city
charter.
That
publication
then
triggers
a
60-day
protest
period.
Remember
we
bypassed
the
voters
so
because
we
bypassed
voters.
This
is
the
one
time
where,
if
a
petition
is
filed,
protesting
the
act,
enactment
of
an
amendment
by
a
sufficient
number
of
qualified
voters,
the
ordinance
would
not
become
effective
and
would,
in
fact
have
to
be
referred
to
a
ballot
question
by
the
City
Council.
I
If
the
60-day
protest
passes
and
no
petition
is
filed
or
the
petition
is
insufficient,
then
there
is
an
additional
30
day
delay
for
a
total
of
90
days
after
enactment
before
the
amendment
becomes
effective,
as
before
the
city
clerk
is
required
to
file
certified
copies
of
the
amendment,
it's
final
enactment
with
both
the
state
and
the
county,
so
that
summarizes
both
of
the
processes
at
a
very,
very
high
level.
As
the
council
is
aware
and
showed
on
this
slide,
there
are
several
amendment
proposals
that
have
either
been
discussed
or
are
actively
in
consideration.
I
This
slide
shows
the
three
proposals
for
amendments
that
are
actively
in
play
right
now,
I
should
note
that
there
are
two
additional
proposals
that
have
been
put
into
queue
at
the
Charter
Commission
level
that
are
not
shown
in
the
slide.
Those
are
the
proposal
about
timing
of
municipal
elections
and
moving
those
into
even-numbered
years
and
a
proposal
about
what
the
required
contents
are
for.
The
budget
recommendation
submitted
to
the
council
by
the
mayor.
I
So
those
are
the
two
that
are
not
before
you
right
now
about
our
NQ
I
have
some
details
here
about
the
other
three
that
are
active.
The
first
of
these
is
a
proposal
to
amend
by
ordinance
it
pertains
to
limits
on
debt
issuance
for
capital
expenditures.
This
proposal
was
first
presented
by
the
chief
financial
officer
mark
ruff
before
the
Ways
and
Means
Committee.
It
was
formally
developed
in
the
form
of
an
ordinance
and
recommended
by
the
intergovernmental
relations
committee.
I
As
a
result,
this
item
will
be
presented
to
the
full
council
at
his
regular
meeting
on
Friday
this
week
for
final
action
as
an
amendment
by
ordinance,
if
successfully
enacted
by
the
council
and
Mayor,
the
action
would
be
subject
to
that
60-day
protest
period,
I
mentioned
as
well
as
a
further
30-day
delay
period
before
becoming
legally
effective.
The
second
proposed
amendment
is
presented
to
voters
as
a
ballot
question
as
part
of
the
November
general
election
this
year.
I
This
proposal,
which
aims
to
eliminate
references
to
liquor,
licensing
regulations,
was
initiated
by
the
Charter
Commission
itself,
and
so
they
did
conduct
a
public
here
at
their
meeting
last
week
on
July
11th.
They
did
have
some
public
testimony,
all
of
which
was
in
support
of
this
proposal,
and
after
that
hearing
was
concluded.
The
Charter
Commission
voted
to
submit
this
proposal
to
the
council
so
that
the
council
could
conduct
its
statutory
duty
informing
the
ballot
language
to
submit
to
voters.
This
proposal
will
also,
therefore
be
on
your
agenda.
I
This
Friday
be
referred
to
the
intergovernmental
ations
committee
so
that
that
committee
can
develop
and
recommend
ballot
language
for
final
action
by
Council.
The
third
proposal
is
presented
as
a
potential
ballot
question
pertaining
to
shared
authority
between
the
mayor
and
council
over
the
police
department.
This
proposal
has
not
yet
been
formally
introduced
through
the
council's
regular
process.
That
action
is
slated
for
this
regular
meeting
on
Friday
at
full
City
Council
once
introduced.
I
The
ordinance
would
be
referred
to
the
intergovernmental
asians
committee
to
perfect
the
ordinance
so
that
it
could
then
be
referred
to
the
Charter
Commission.
The
Charter
Commission,
as
I
mentioned,
has
up
to
150
days
under
the
statute
to
review
that
proposal
before
responding
back
under
the
statute.
Final
enacted
ordinance
must
be
submitted
to
the
county
by
no
later
than
August
24th
to
be
included
on
the
ballot.
That
concludes
my
presentation.
Mr.
chair
I'm,
happy
to
stand
for
questions.
A
A
All
right,
I
will
add
that
I
am
very
grateful
for
this
presentation.
Thank
You
mr.
Carl.
As
we
have
this
conversation,
there
were
three
five
potential
amendments
that
are
up.
We
have
one
that
is
the
most
mainstream
right
now
in
larger
conversation,
so
this
is
really
helpful
to
be
able
to
tell
the
be
transparent
with
the
public
about
what
the
process
looks
like,
so
that
it's
not
just
this
abstract
thing
that
that
happens,
but
understanding
that
it's
a
constitutional
change.
Essentially.
A
So
thank
you
very
much
all
right,
seeing
no
discussion
or
questions
I
move
to
receive
and
file
this
presentation,
all
of
those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
aye,
those
opposed,
say,
nay.
That
item
carries
and
finally,
we
will
receive
reports
from
the
standing
committees
on
matters
to
be
considered
by
the
full
council.
J
Thank
You
mr.
chair,
the
economic
development
and
regulatory
Services
Committee
will
be
bringing
forward
11
items
for
this
Friday's
meeting
number
one
is
a
expansion
of
premise
license
to
pirates.
Pirates
brewing,
another
is
extended
hours
license
for
Starbucks
coffee.
The
other
is
number
three
is
innovative
and
emerging
small
business
pilot
permit
ordinance.
Number
four
is
a
rental
dwelling
license
denial
for
a
series
of
addresses
in
south
Minneapolis.
J
We
will
be
dismissing
number
four
as
moot
the
matter
of
denial
of
the
rental
dwelling
license.
Application
of
misko's
holding
LLC
for
the
properties
located
at
the
south
side
addresses
for
failure,
failure
to
meet
licensing
standard
pursuant
to
section
2
for
4.19
10
of
the
minneapolis
Code
of
Ordinances
I
believe
the
matter
has
just
been
resolved
so
that
number
four
is
moot
number
five.
Is
the
liquor
license
approvals?
Number
six
is
liq
liquor
license
renewals
number
seven
is
business
license
approvals.
A
J
A
H
You
mr.
chair
I
wanted
to
note
three
items
discussed
but
not
being
forwarded
on
Friday,
but
they
are
important
to
note
the
first
council
member
of
Fletcher's
move

a
privacy
and
security

staff,
some
ordinances
about
information,
governance
and
adding
regulations
to
address
privacy

The
second

note
is

short
but
informative
budget
update,
and
the
third
item
to
note
is
that
we
established
an
August,
9th
public
hearing
for
the
audit
ordinance,
which
I
have
had
casual
conversations
with
some
of
you
about,
but
it
is
time
to
bring
that
forward.
That's
a
carryover
from
last
term.
The
item
being
forwarded
for
Friday
is
an
RFP
for
IT,
and
it's
just
a

our

like
to
take
a
moment
to
remind
Minneapolis
residents
to
get
plugged
in
to
what's
happening
here
in
City

because
it
impacts
folks,
everyday
life
and
contacts
your
council

to
make
your
voice
heard
with
no
further
business
before
us.
This

is
adjourned.
