Let

and
I
look

the
beginning
of
a
historic
new

A
A
Where
some
would

you
to
be
represented
by
such
a
bold
leader,
who
also
just
leaves
with
heart
and
has
such
love
for
our
community,
we're
so
excited
for
your
partnership.
Next
I
want
to
recognize
councilmember
Reich,
and
we
want
to
honor
the
service
of
a
former
councilmember
whose
recently
passed
away
Walt
deeds
ik,
who
is
an
incredible
leader
on
the
City
Council
and
then
an
elected
leader
of
the
park
board,
as
well
as
a
really
important
community
leader
in
Northeast,
Minneapolis
councilman
break.
E
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
just
wanted
to
recognize
the
passing
of
a
pretty
significant
person
for
the
city,
Minneapolis
and
and
definitely
a
almost
larger-than-life
figure
in
the
north
northeast
and
East
Side
neighborhoods
as
former
aldermen
as
they
call
it
back
and
they
won't
Walter
deeds.
Ik
passed
away
at
the
age
of
85
and
it's
a
significant
his
service.
It
stretches
over
several
decades.
He
was
a
teacher.
He
served
in
the
Korean
War.
He
served
on
this
council
for
22
years,
one
of
the
longest
serving
members
of
this
body.
E
We
did
that
a
Blee
and
he
retired
to
serve
even
further
three
terms
on
the
as
a
commissioner
on
the
board
of
Recreation,
Park
and
Recreation
Board.
So
just
such
a
significance
of
amount
of
service
he
has
care
for
youth
was
in
all
of
his
policies
as
an
alderman
and
certainly
as
a
park.
Commissioner
decorated
US
servicemen
when
he
served
in
the
police
department
he
shot
in
a
couple
of
instances
and
served
very
nobly
in
that
capacity.
A
Thank
You
councilmember,
with
that
we
will
move
on
to
adoption
of
the
agenda
for
today's
business.
We
have
one
walk

item

add
to
the
agenda.
You
have

your
desks

this
is
a

a
proposed
confidentiality
agreement
tied
to
a
possible
property
acquisition,
and
this
item
will
be
added
under
the

of
new
business.
Are
there
any
other
amendments
to
the

A
An

please
say

aye,
any

that
carries
and
the
amended
event
agenda
is

The

the
minutes
from
our
regular
meeting
on
November
16th
and
the

14th
and

Finally,
we

the
proper

Is
there
a
motion
to
make
those
referrals.
G
A
F
F
F
So,
madam
chair,
we
are
bringing
forward
three
items
today
and
item
number.
One
is
a
resolution
authorizing
the
submittal
of
the
24
t
comprehensive
plan
to
the
Met
Council,
along
with
for
Associated
staff
directions
and
number
two:
is
the
designation
of
polling
places
for
2019
in
case
there
are
any
special
elections
next
year
item
number
three
is
approving
for
enterprise
operational
priorities
as
part
of
the
racial
equity
action
plan,
I
move
approval
of
all
items.
A
Thank
You
council
vice
president,
has
moved
approval
of
the
committee
of
a
full
agenda:
councilmember
plum
asanam,
and
actually
why
don't?
We
imagine?
There
are
a
couple
of
things
to
do
related
to
item
1.
So
maybe
we
should
pull
that
and
I'll
go
ahead
and
take
the
motion
to
approve
items.
2
&
3
see
if
there's
any
discussion
on
those
items.
First,
seeing
on
the
clerk,
please
call
the
roll
on
item
2,
&,
3,.
B
A
H
You,
madam
president,
as
I
mentioned
during
the
Committee
of
the
Whole
meeting,
I
do
have
a
staff
direction
to
bring
us
to
something
we
decided.
We
didn't
want
to
include
in
the
comprehensive
plan,
but
it
is
about
further
communications
as
we
move
forward.
Would
you
like
me
to
do
that
staff
direction
now
for
approval?
That
sounds
great.
Yes,
go
ahead,
thank
you,
you
that
was
just
passed
out
in
front
of
you
by
our
city
clerk
and
it
it
states
it's
the
one
that
says
committee
of
the
whole
number
124
TM,
prehensile
and
staff
direction.
H
It
states
directing
the
office
of
city
clerk,
in
conjunction
with
the
communications
and
Community
Planning
and
economic
departments,
to
present
a
recommended
plan
for
council
approval,
which
would
notify
all
minneapolis
residents
of
what
to
expect
on
zoning
development
and
related
land
use
changes
resulting
from
the
2040
comprehensive
plan,
such
plan
to
be
broad-based
and
include,
but
not
be
limited
to
postal
mail,
electronic
communications,
public
meetings
and
other
forms
of
outreach
in
multiple
languages.
If
I
may
just
briefly
speak
on
that,
that's
this
seems
to
be
the
compromise
of
where
we're
at
in
conversation
with
colleagues.
H
I
A
Thank
you
and
I'm
sorry
to
do
this
to
see
Pat
staff
but
I.
Think
a
couple
of
my
colleagues
are
trying
to
finalize
the
staff
direction
and
I
wonder
if
maybe
mr.
Mogis,
you
could
go
help
just
one
of
the
many
ways
that
arcpad
staff
are
doing
incredible.
Work
on
the
comprehensive
plan,
councilmember
Cunningham,
I.
J
A
Is
there
any
further
discussion
and
counselor
Palmisano
staff
direction
related
to
communication
for
the
comprehensive
plan
implementation,
seeing
none
all
in
approval,
please
say
aye
aye,
any
opposed
that
carries
so
I
do
know
that
I
just
want
to
note
that
council
members,
Mike
and
Allison
are
working
on
a
very
small
change
to
some
language
related
to
job
creation.
Staff
is
talking
with
them,
so
this
has
been
of
course,
work
in
progress
for
many
years.
In
these
final
details
are
really
important
to
council
members.
A
J
J
That
says
that
we
are
drawing
a
line
as
a
City
Council
that
we
are
going
to
do
everything
that
we
can
to
no
longer
be
the
the
city
that
is
known
for
being
prosperous,
as
well
as
the
worst
place
to
live
one
of
the
worst
places
to
live
if
you
are
black
or
Native
or
etc.
So
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
my
colleagues
for
supporting
that
change
as
well
as
I
want
to
thank
folks
for
the
inclusion
of
a
North
science
specific
policy.
That
too,
is
very,
very
impactful.
J
J
A
I
Yeah
I'm
happy
to
talk,
especially
if
it
means
what
the
others
can
complete
their
work,
but
I'm
always
happy
to
talk.
There's
a
couple
main
points.
I
wanted
to
make
about
the
comprehensive
plan,
though,
and
I
wanted
to
acknowledge
a
couple
things
as
it's
moving
forward.
We
certainly
heard
a
lot
of
concerns,
a
lot
of
hopes,
a
lot
of
issues,
I
think
it's
been
a
long
and
difficult
challenging
path
to
get
us
here,
I
think
in
the
last
few
days,
certainly
the
last
few
weeks,
we've
made
a
lot
of
changes
in
amendments
to
the
plans.
I
I
think
it's
important
to
recognize
that
some
people
have
enormous
hopes
and
dreams
about
what
this
plan
is
going
to
do
for
us
and
what
it
can
do
for
the
city.
The
goals
are
so
high
in
this
plan.
This
plan
offers
up
offers
us
pathways
to
really
address
the
racial
inequities
that
have
been
plaguing
our
city
and
the
historical
damage.
That's
been
done
and
kind
of
uproot
the
structural
racism
that's
been
plaguing
us
for
so
long.
I
At
the
same
time,
we
also
heard
from
a
lot
of
people
who
have
a
lot
of
fears
and
a
lot
of
worries
and
a
lot
of
concerns
about
the
potential
damage
it
could
do
to
the
things
that
they
treasure
most
about
the
city
and
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
that
I
share
those
highest
hopes
and
aspirations
and
and
think
that
this
gives
us
some
pathways
that
we
really
need
to
pursue
and
follow
up
on.
But
I
also
share
some
of
those
fears
and
concerns
about.
I
We
are
going
to
be
watching
that
careful,
we're
gonna
be
looking
at
me
and
remembering
the
issues
that
people
brought
up
along
this
way
about
how
special
their
neighborhood
is,
or
their
block
or
their
city
or
their
park
or
their
place
and
how
they
want
to
be
able
to
keep
and
preserve
these
wonderful
things,
and
we
make
sure
that
we
manage
these
changes
and
this
growth
in
a
way
that
we
preserve.
What's
special
on
extraordinary
about
our
city.
I
That's
obviously
attracting
people
to
it
and
we
want
to
keep
attracting
people
to
it
and
welcoming
people
to
our
city
and
preserve
those
things
as
we
make
those
changes.
So
we
can
also
make
the
city
work
better
for
everybody
and
also
work
better
for
the
future
of
our
residents
and
generations
to
come
and
the
planet.
So
we're
gonna.
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
you
know,
as
chair
commedia
whole
and
raising
equity
subcommittee.
I
just
want
to
speak
to
a
little
bit
item
number
three,
as
it
relates
to
the
comprehensive
plan
and
just
acknowledge
that
the
strategic
and
racial
equity
action
plan
represents
a
significant
shift
from
our
city's
previous
strategic
planning
process.
The
council
called
for
this
ship
in
in
2017,
the
city
coordinator
and
race,
equity,
division
ordinance
and
it's
a
critical
first
step
in
moving
forward.
That's
all
right!
F
It's
just
really
exciting
the
way
we
do
strategic
planning
and
the
part
of
that
change
means
trying
new
things
measuring
Reserve
results,
learning
from
them
and
being
adaptive
as
council
member
Gordon
just
discussed,
and
so
it's
really
exciting.
That
Minneapolis
is
leading
in
a
way
that's
systematically
and
unapologetically
integrates
traditional
strategic
planning
with
our
racial
equity
plan
and
then
embedding
that
into
our
comprehensive
plan.
So
just
want
to
acknowledge
what
we've
accomplished.
Over
the
past
year,
we
installed
the
race,
equity
steering
committee,
the
race,
equity,
Community,
Advisory,
Committee
or
recap.
F
Implementation
of
this
plan
will
require
all
of
us
to
try
doing
things
differently,
to
maintain
a
laser-like
focus,
to
take
smart
risk
to
make
mistakes
along
the
way,
but
we
need
to
make
sure
we
are
holding
space
for
systemic
learning
and
improvement,
and
we
can
do
that
and
we
will
begin
to
see
real
sustainable
changes.
Thank
you.
Thank.
E
You,
madam
president,
so
many
great
comments
for
my
colleagues
just
sort
of
flesh
out
how
much
goes
into
a
comprehensive
plan.
Sometimes
the
debates
can
focus
are
very
narrowly
and
certain
aspects
of
it
and
that's
appropriate
when
the
community
raises
their
concerns
that
we
is
what
we
focus
on,
but
just
as
has
been
mentioned
by
council
vice-president
Jenkins
and
councillor
Gordon,
there's
so
much
that's
gone
into
it
to
shape
it
and
so
much
more
to
come.
I
mean
we're
going
to
do
our
transit
action
plan.
E
Our
zoning
map,
our
environmental
objectives,
will
be
codified
in
a
new
document
moving
forward,
and
you
can
all
imagine
how
urgent
that
work
will
be
and
then
there's
the
implementation,
which
is
ongoing
aspect
of
once.
You
plan
it
out.
You
must
put
the
dollars
where
you
say
your
parties
are
and
start
implementing
and
shape
the
city
in
the
manner
that
is
consistent
with
our
values
and
input
from
their
citizenry.
I
would
also
just
give
a
shout
out
to
the
people
put
a
lot
of
hours
in
this.
E
Every
council
member
put
a
lot
of
work
into
this.
When
I
went
around
chatting
to
see
what
was
on
their
minds
and
where
they're
coming
from
so
thoughtful,
you
learned
so
much
from
your
community
from
the
people
who
really
know
what
best
and
I
can
guarantee
you
that
that
many
many
aspects
of
this
plan
have
that
insight,
that
local
context
and
that
voice
and
leadership
from
your
elected
official.
E
Also,
of
course,
we
have
some
talented
people
who
are
part
of
the
steering
committee
from
the
very
first
day
council
president
bender,
who
was
chair
of
the
zoning
and
planning
committee,
was
a
trained
planner,
brought
not
only
leadership
determination,
but
also
just
great
professional
insights
that
I
think
translated
policy
objectives
into
a
document
rather
effectively.
So
it
was
a
sort
of
a
gift
that
we
had
a
sort
of
a
bonus.
Having
her
involvement.
E
Also
I
would
say
there
was
a
different
working
groups
from
staff.
Every
category
had
an
active
working,
a
set
of
staff
people
putting
their
professional
insights
into
it.
I'll
call
out
the
one
that
I'm
most
familiar
with
transportation,
public
works
and
you
can
see
in
our
comprehensive
plan,
is
probably
one
of
the
best
plans
coordinated
with
the
built
form
with
how
we
move
around
as
a
city,
transportation
and
the
build
form
are
really
nicely
thought
through
in
a
comprehensive
unsilent
sort
of
wave
and
was
the
work
of
our
professional
staff
from
day.
E
One
working
in
their
work
groups
are
really
zero
and
topic
by
topic,
but
then
making
sure
it
was
consistent
with
the
whole
and,
of
course,
our
long-range
planning
vision
led
by
director
Worthington,
obviously
made
sure
that
the
whole
document
was
just
that
a
comprehensive
plan
that
took
in
many
elements
to
present
something
that
was
consistent
throughout
the
document
and
then
hopefully,
something
the
Met
Council
will
approve.
So
with
that.
Thank
you,
madam
president,
for
indulging
my
comments.
H
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I'll
only
speak
once
on
this,
but
it
might
be
a
little
bit
longer
than
some
of
my
colleagues
I
see
that
we're
continuing
to
make
improvements
to
the
comprehensive
plan,
even
here
at
the
11th
hour,
and
that's
that's
good
I'm.
Supportive
of
those
the
14
goals
of
this
2040
comp
plan
were
good.
We
have
the
right
goals.
This
is
a
huge
body
of
work.
It
was
mentioned
it's
actually
almost
as
big
as
the
budget
book
I
compared.
H
This
plan
speaks
to.
Oh
so
many
things
and
we
haven't
talked
about
a
lot
of
these
things,
a
lot
of
other
parts
of
this
plan
and
there's
some
good
stuff
there,
because
to
me
the
public
conversation
has
been
intensely
focused
on
land
use
in
built
form,
mostly
because
that's
where
we
see
the
biggest
changes
taking
place
yet
these
goals,
including
eliminated
disparities,
equitable
civic
participation,
proactive
accessible
and
sustainable
government.
Now
we
work
on
those
goals,
a
lot
we
work
on
them
every
day
at
City,
Hall
together,
but
I
wonder.
H
Can
you
say
this
comp
plan
is
a
model
of
that
really,
unfortunately,
I
feel
the
2040
plan
is
aspirational
in
important
ways
and
it
also
falls
short.
It
does
very
little
to
create
opportunities
through
some
of
these
maps
that
might
actually
help
achieve
these
goals.
In
parts
of
our
city
like
mine,
the
place
is
farthest
away
from
the
downtown
core
makes
affordable
housing.
We
have
harder
to
keep.
That's
been
my
understanding
throughout
this
process.
H
That's
not
achieving
our
goals.
That's
not
accessible,
affordable
housing,
I'm
all
for
a
charge
to
be
bold
when
that's
warranted
I'm
all
for
innovating
and
making
important
changes
to
make
climate
change,
but
this
is
untested
and
the
risk
we're
taking
is
something
that
we
can't
walk
back
and
I
wish.
We'd
have
settled
on
something
more
incremental
when
I
first
met
with
long-range
planning
regarding
their
first
draft
of
this
plan,
I
was
really
skeptical
but
challenged
myself
to
stay.
Open-Minded
I
was
assured
that
this
is
a
really
rough
draft
lacking
specificity,
a
launch
pad.
H
They
said
to
welcome
new
ideas
and
feedback,
and
ideas
from
the
community
immediately
I
knew
that
what
I
would
call
the
Striped
zoning
of
corridors
and
the
significant
increase
to
for
Plexus
was
going
to
be
controversial.
This
was
a
big
departure
from
keeping
development
compact
at
neighborhood
nodes.
At
this
point,
though,
no
one
would
have
ever
heard
about
this
plan.
H
One
of
my
core
values
as
a
policy
maker
here
is
transparency
and
that's
why
I
asked
colleagues
on
the
steering
committee
to
support
sending
a
letter
to
residents
to
simply
inform
them
that
a
public
input
period
was
taking
place
here.
This
is
a
dramatic
change.
I
said,
I
was,
and
I
am
still
frustrated,
that
the
engagement
around
the
first
draft
didn't
involve
any
physical
male
colleagues
felt
that
wasn't
needed.
Yet
we
send
it
for
things
like
shoveling,
our
sidewalks.
H
We
send
it
for
elections,
so
why
would
we
not
make
that
part
of
this
communication
strategy
without
agreement
for
citywide
mail
I
sent
my
own
using
my
own
board
office
budget,
because
I
felt
engagement
was
lacking
and
that
one
letter
led
to
hundreds
and
hundreds
of
responses,
the
vast
majority
of
which
expressed
some
level
of
concern
and
oftentimes
a
lot
of
input
for
changing
Draft,
just
like
I'd,
asked
them
to
provide,
while
many
were
quite
demanding.
We
stuck
up
for
the
process.
H
Long
range
planning
laid
out
encouraging
folks
to
submit
their
comments
and
be
patient
to
see
them
considered
in
the
second
draft
of
this
plan.
Boy
were
we
duped.
I
was
assured
that
council
offices
would
role
in
shaping
draft.
That
makes
sense
right
that,
prior
to
this
release,
I
an
elected
council
member
task
to
make
policies
on
behalf
of
the
city
of
Minneapolis
would
actually
get
to
weigh
in
on
this
plan.
H
Frankly,
that
singular
one-hour
meeting
was
insulting
and
a
blatant
disregard
for
this
process
and
I
believe
you
know
that
I
believe
long
range
planning
knows
that.
How
is
that
a
transparent
process?
This
feedback
wasn't
taken
seriously.
I
wasn't
consulted
in
any
way
that
could
meaningfully
shape
this
plan
between
versions.
One
version
to
this
department
had
embargoed
conversations
with
media
outlets
prior
to
meeting
with
council
members
and
finding
that
out,
I
fully
understood.
This
was
not
a
document
inviting
any
of
the
considerations.
H
I'd
been
collecting
all
summer
long,
but
enough
about
broken
promises
and
broken
processes
for
a
minute.
I
take
great
umbrage
with
the
output
of
where
we
got
in
the
second
draft.
The
second
draft
was
all
too
similar
to
me
to
the
first.
It
turns
out
the
intent
was
to
reframe
the
narrative
instead
of
in
not
acknowledging,
maybe
feedback
suggests
we've
gone
a
bit
too
far,
I've
never
heard
from
so
many
constituents.
H
Regarding
one
singular
issue,
the
vast
majority
of
those
messages
came
with
recommendations
for
improvement,
whether
it
be
up
zoning
corridor
nodes
and
yes,
that's
real.
That's
feedback.
I
got
keeping
the
density
in
between
lower
for
clustered
development.
Environmental
improvements,
specula
Tory
builder
concerns
targeting
the
more
affordable
homes
in
our
city.
There
were
a
lot
of
concerns
and
input.
None
of
that
made
it
into
the
second
draft.
The
first
draft.
It
feels
wasn't
a
draft.
H
It
was
an
agenda
that
a
city
department
was
trying
to
push
so
in
version
two
snuck
out
the
door
before
my
promised
follow
up
meetings
with
long-range
planning
promised
me
by
this
departments.
Leadership.
It
didn't
reflect
the
feedback
we'd
received.
It
didn't
reflect
request
to
address
things
like
absentee
landlords
to
lift
up,
affordable,
homeownership
and
local
wealth
building
to
concentrate
density
in
areas
that
make
sense
instead
of
haphazardly,
leaving
it
up
to
developers
to
truly
address
the
affordable
housing
just
show
with
some
or
any
kind
of
data
that
this
plan
would
lead
to
affordability.
H
H
These
little
things
we
were
able
to
do
at
the
end,
I
appreciate
my
colleagues
for
considering
them.
I
do
think
many
of
these
last
amendments
made
the
plan
better
and
since
there's
no
support
for
turning
back
I
hope.
You've
seen
me
work
with
you
here
at
the
end
to
improve
this
document
and
given
where
the
public
discourse
has
gone
on
this.
So
many
changes
had
to
come
in
one
big
assembled,
Matt
Matt
packet
led
by
president
bender
and
I,
really
value
her
getting
that
together,
because
otherwise
I
don't
think
we'd
have
gotten
this
done.
H
Thank
you.
This
process
has
lacked
transparency
and
accountability
from
the
beginning,
hiring
a
public
relations
firm
to
sell
a
narrative
to
the
public
instead
of
spending
money
on
actual
engagement,
not
having
a
rigorous
work
plan
or
work
product
for
how
comments
were
analyzed
not
being
prepared
enough
to
have
a
communication
strategy,
one
that
we
could
follow
through
on
for
this
plan.
H
A
pal
I'm,
appalled
and
I'm
saddened
that
the
narrative
of
this
plan
took
on
a
really
negative
discourse.
These
goals
are
curved.
We
all
agreed
on
that
and
most
of
the
feedback
I'd
say
strongly
agrees
with
these
14
goals,
but
through
this
past
year
of
comp
plan
development
constantly
putting
people
down
because
we
disagree
on
the
avenues
to
take
in
order
to
achieve
these
goals
is
wrong
and
when
we
do
it
as
council
members,
when
we
turn
to
things
like
social
media
and
send
these
insults,
that's
an
abuse
of
this
office.
H
Reverting
to
divisive
rhetoric
is
getting
us
nowhere.
You
see,
people
in
our
city
have
expressed
a
genuine
concern
for
our
entire
city
about
the
effects
of
these
proposed
changes.
Neighborhoods
should
not
be
turned
into
commodities
for
temporary
exploitation,
no
matter
where
you
live
after
all
this.
How
can
we
look
residents
in
the
face
and
ask
for
their
feedback
on
anything
after
this
I
think
we've
done
them
all
a
disservice.
So
yeah
we
have
the
right
goals,
but
we
have
the
wrong
company.
A
K
Want
to
thank
my
colleagues
and
speaking
of
last
minute
changes
to
the
comp
plan.
I
have
wanted
to
make
a
motion
and
I
know
it's
zero
hour
and
and
and
it's
kind
of
slightly
technical,
but
this
originally
was
going
to
I
was
going
to
make
a
motion
to
you
know,
make
a
make
a
land-use
I
think
change
to
my
area,
but
I
was
I.
Think
wisely
persuaded
not
to
do
that
for
staff
not
to
be
so
overly
prescriptive
and
how
I
was
trying
to
reach
this
particular
goal.
K
And
so
I'll
read
the
motion,
but
just
to
just
to
give
a
little
bit
of
editorializing.
It
focuses
on
job
creation
and
job-creating
uses
and
and
I
think
that
in
in
North
Minneapolis,
especially
I
find
myself
and
my
residents
really
really
wanting
to
see
other
job-creating
uses,
aside
from
minimum
wage
work,
low
wage
work
that
doesn't
quite
sustain
folks,
long
term
and
so
I'll
go
ahead
and
read
the
amendment
and
also
think
council
number
right
for
for
for
helping
me
through
this
process.
K
This
includes
potentially
designated
certain
night,
certain
identified
areas
to
emphasize
employment
goals
and
the
reason
I
took
this
approach
was
because
I
realized
that,
as
I
was
trying
to
fix
the
problems
along
some
light
corridors
in
North
Minneapolis
council
member
Ike
was
having
some
some
some
some
similar
issues
that
he
was
trying
to
fix
along
the
core
doors
in
his
in
his
in
his
in
his
ward.
So
thank
you
guys
in
of
a
motion.
A
E
Proximity
to
jobs,
good
well-paying
jobs
is
proximity
to
opportunity,
its
proximity
to
empowerment
and
there's
really
no
empowerment
like
economic
empowerment,
and
so
that's
reflected
broadly
in
the
plan.
But
I
can
tell
from
my
colleagues
with
steps
moving
forward.
We're
gonna
we're
gonna
have
speaking
of
that
laser
focus
a
laser
focused
on
making
sure
that
we
expand
and
actually
implement
the
idea
that
this
is
a
working
city
and
and
the
studies
that
staff
had
generated
in
terms
of
what
it
means
to
be
able
to
produce
to
make
to
communities
of
color
is
statistically
significant.
E
They
make
statistically
significant
more
money
than
in
any
other
sector.
That's
important.
However.
Over
the
decades,
that's
been
the
greatest
area
of
loss
or
shrinkage.
We
had
over
twenty
percent
of
our
land
use
back.
You
know
several
decades
ago
was
in
the
twenty
percent
plus
now
it's
down
to
around
three
percent,
with
some
of
it
fallow
because
of
the
peanut
brownfield.
We
need
to
not
only
preserve
what
we
have.
A
Thank
You
councilmember
Mike
any
other
discussion.
You
know
I
just
want
to
note
that
I
think
I'll
just
take
the
opportunity
to
note
this
as
an
example
of
how
any
comprehensive
plan
like
the
one
we
have
in
place
today
is
a
living
document
that
evolved
over
time.
These
plans
are
amended.
We
have
amended
our
existing
comprehensive
plans
since
I
took
office
five
years
ago
and
it's
implemented
through
zoning
and
other
tools
that
are
changing
as
our
city
changes
and
as
we
incrementally
implement
a
plan,
that's
intended
to
shape
the
city
for
decades.
A
But
it
is
just
one
example
of
the
many
ways
that
council
members
have
shaped
this
plan
and
will
continue
to
shape
its
implementation
in
the
years
and
decades
to
come.
Is
there
anything
else
on
this?
Seeing
on
all
an
approval
piece
say:
aye
aye,
any
opposed
that
carries
that
is.
Amendment
has
been
adopted,
councilmember
Cano.
L
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
wanted
to
weigh
in
in
this
compound
conversation
because
it's
been
the
first
time.
I've
tackled
the
comp
plan
through
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
as
an
elected
official
and
at
the
beginning
of
the
process,
it
felt
really
daunting
and
I
wasn't
sure
quite
what
the
role
was
going
to
be
for
low-income
communities.
L
I
am
supportive
of
the
plan
and
supportive
of
the
process
that
we
took
together.
There's
always
room
for
improvement,
of
course,
and
I.
Think
councilmember
komasan
owes
staff
direction
on
future
communications
and
including
a
multilingual
component
to
that
is
important.
I
do
want
to
share
that,
even
though
I
I
have
those
questions
around
the
actual
benefits
for
folks
long-term,
especially
the
vulnerable
populations.
I
had
a
really
good
email
come
in
from
one
of
my
residents
talking
about
how
we
continue
to
really
guide
those
values
through
multiple
strategies.
L
So
the
comp
plan
is
one
touch
point
in
that
larger
conversation
and
she
talks
about.
For
example,
following
the
budget
analysis
and
talking
about
how
other
mechanisms
of
implementation
kick
in
over
term
over,
you
know
long
periods
of
time
to
make
sure
that
what
the
comp
plan
has
outlined
is
actually
put
in
into
action
in
our
communities
in
a
way
that
really
uplifts
the
values
that
we're
trying
to
represent
as
a
City
Council
and
as
residents
of
Minneapolis
things
like
avoiding
gentrification
and
displacement
and
those
two
things
are
different.
L
So
I'm
putting
in
my
chip,
saying
I'm,
cautiously
hopeful
that
this
will
be
something
positive
for
communities
and
then
I
look
forward
to
working
with
all
of
you.
An
important
initiative
such
as
one
of
my
favorites,
which
is
cultural
districts
and
I,
do
want
to
say
that
it's
been
a
privilege
and
a
pleasure
to
be
able
to
work
in
partnership
with
the
mayor's
office
on
on
making
that
designation
come
forward.
L
The
mayor
Frye
in
his
office,
specifically
through
the
work
of
Sean
Pierce,
have
really
Bulldog
this
effort
all
the
way
through
and
provided
much
needed
expertise
and
knowledge
to
really
advance
that
discussion
and
I
was
really
thankful
to
be
able
to
work
in
partnership
with
the
mayor's
office
on
that,
but
also
with
our
council
colleagues
council.
Vice
president
Andrea
Jenkins
council
member
Ellison-
and
there
are
certainly
many
others
here
at
this
diets
who
are
interested
in
this
discussion.
L
Councilmember
Philippe,
Cunningham,
council,
member
Reich
and
I
look
forward
to
building
a
workgroup
that
can
involve
all
of
our
best
thinking
and
all
of
our
energy
and
our
passion
to
ensure
our
city
remains
and
continues
to
be
a
unique
dynamic,
multicultural
community
where
people
feel
welcomed
and
included.
Thank
You
councilmember.
A
I
Thank
you
very
much.
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
few
comments
about
the
process.
I
think
in
light
of
some
of
the
other
comments
that
were
made
about
this
I
I
was
actually
one
of
the
few
council
members
who
was
here
the
last
time
we
updated
the
comprehensive
plan,
so
I
remember
what
that
process
was
like,
and
this
one
was
quite
a
bit
different.
One
of
the
things
that
was
different
about
this
was
the
high
level
of
engagement
and
the
high
level
of
engagement
early.
I
I
One
of
the
commitments
we've
made
as
a
city
council
is
to
try
to
gather
input
from
different
voices
and
reach
out
to
demographic
groups
that
aren't
typically
giving
us
feedback
in
information
and
reach
out
early
and
reach
out
in
new
and
different
ways,
so
that
we
can
gather
that
input.
I.
Think,
if
we're
committed
to
racial
equity,
that's
also
gotta
mean
doing
more
to
engage
those
who
are
typically
left
out
and
I.
Think
that's
what
our
staff
did
try
to
do
and
bring
in
those
resources
know
and
I
think
that
it
was.
It
was
helpful.
I
I
also
found
over
and
over
again
I
was
in
pre
appreciating
the
work
that
staff
was
making
towards
assisting
me
and
understanding
it,
and
my
constituents
I
had
more
than
one
meeting
in
the
ward
and
I
didn't
get
one
of
those
meetings.
There
were
three
staff
there.
They
did
a
ward
2
presentation.
I
was
actually
able
to
work
with
some
of
my
colleagues
and
we
had
joint
meetings
about
the
comp
plan
with
neighborhood
areas
that
we
shared,
and
that
was
significant.
I
I
thought
about
doing
a
mailing
and
I,
certainly
wouldn't
have
objected
to
utility
insert,
although
I
confess
I
didn't
think
of
it
early
on
when
we
plan
what
we're
putting
in
our
utility
inserts
to
make
sure
that
it
got
in
there
one
of
those
months.
For
those
who
don't
know,
that's
an
insert
we
put
in
with
the
water
bill
that
everybody
property
owners
all
get.
I
Not
all
residents
get
it
I'll
mention
that,
but
I
also
I'm
pretty
certain
that
I
had
staff
who've
reviewed
every
one
of
my
27
amendments
and
helped
me
draft
the
language
appropriately
for
the
policy
amendments
that
I
made
I
even
remember
getting
some
feedback
about
how
maybe
we
could
tweak
it
a
little
bit.
So
it's
more
than
the
voice
consistent
with
the
rest
of
the
document
and
I
know.
I
got
some
ribbing
from
my
colleagues
about
27
amendments.
I
It
does
sound
like
a
lot,
but
I
will
point
out
that
I
wasn't
the
councilmember
who
brought
in
the
most
amendments
just
to
give
a
little.
Nevertheless,
I
had
I
feel
like
I
had
help
with
all
of
those
those
amendments.
I
also
recognized.
There
was
a
point
at
which,
appropriately
the
comp
plan
was
handed
off
to
the
council
and
the
council
offices,
and
we
were
dealing
with
it
and
actually
I
also
turned
to
the
clerk's
office
to
help
me
with
my
amendments
and
make
sure
they
got
in
the
right
place.
I
They
were
word
of
the
right
way
and
I
really
appreciated
the
help
and
assistance
from
the
clerk's
office,
as
well
as
the
planning
department,
as
we
went
through
this
and
brought
these
four
I
think
also
note
that
we
had
two
really
long.
Public
hearings
on
the
comp
plan
and
really
long
is
all
relative,
I
think,
but
they
were
probably
five
or
six
hours
when
at
the
Planning
Commission
and
one
at
the
council.
I.
Don't
remember
anything
like
that
about
the
last
comp
plan.
I
I
G
G
They
were
very
passionate
about
seeing
it
be
a
larger
change
and
there
were
also
folks
that
are
very
concerned
about
this
comprehensive
plan
and
in
the
case
where
folks
have
been
concerned,
I
think
whether
remarkable
things
is
really
talking
through,
where
that's
coming
from
what
the
specific
root
causes
are
and
trying
to
see
how
we
can
address
that
throughout
this
process
and
I
found
a
lot
of
cases
that
was
possible
and
it
actually
influenced
a
lot
of
the
amendments
that
I
know.
I
brought
forward.
G
Knew
the
details
of
this
and
overall
felt
that
it
was
a
positive
step,
but
also
were
able
to
voice
where
they
have
concerns,
where
they
have
some
skepticism,
and
also
what
they're
hopeful
about
and
I
think
that
that's
really
reflective
personally
about
how
I
feel
about
this,
because
I
think
inevitably
with
something
so
comprehensive.
As
this
there's
aspects
that
we're
not
going
to
be
perfectly
happy
about
every
single
piece
of
this.
It's
been
an
imperfect
process.
G
It
has
components
and
that
I
have
some
skepticism
about
or
minor
concerns
about,
as
well,
but
overall
I
think
it's
a
really
well-written
document.
I
think
it
moves
our
city
in
a
positive
direction
and
I
appreciate
my
colleagues
for
their
willingness
to
compromise
on
this
as
well
and
try
to
balance
all
these
different
concerns
that
have
come
forward
from
a
diverse
set
of
perspectives
across
our
city.
I.
Think
the
common
root
thread
of
that
really
is
that
people
love
our
city
and
people
love
their
community
and
they
want
to
see
any
change.
G
The
positive
outcomes
for
it
and
I
think
that's
something
we
all
share
and
we're
all
coming
from
on
this
and
something
I
appreciate
about
the
conversation
and
finally,
I
think
it's
important
that
we
carefully
monitor
this
and
as
we
implement
the
finite
details
as
well,
this
comprehensive
plan
and
make
sure
we
continue
to
represent
those
voices
in
our
community
engage
our
community
members
make
sure
we're
open
to
making
adjustments
along
the
way
as
necessary.
So
thank
you
to
everybody
involved
with
this
process.
I
just
really
appreciate
the
level
of
thought
and
care.
N
N
So
it's
under
that
premise
that
I
have
a
few
thoughts
about
some
of
the
specifics.
With
regard
to
the
plan.
First
of
all,
the
plan
is
not
only
about
land
use
and
built
form
Maps.
The
plan
aggressively
challenges,
issues
like
racial
equity,
sustainability,
climate
change,
environmental
management
and
protecting
our
lakes
and
our
beautiful
Mississippi
River,
but
much
of
the
attention
has
focused,
unfortunately
on
the
massive
rezoning
that
is
suggested
within
this
plan
and
the
built
form
that
is
going
to
happen
as
a
result
of
it.
So
I
want
to
offer
a
few
thoughts.
N
N
So
if
there,
if
there
are
new
construction
to
be
had
and
I
hope,
there
is
I,
don't
see
the
difference,
be
half
between
having
one
house
six
feet
from
the
lot
line.
35
feet
tall
with
one
family
in
it
or
three.
The
bottom
line
is
the
heights
going
to
be
the
same.
The
setbacks
are
going
to
be
the
same,
and
so
we're
just
going
to
potentially
have
more
people
living
in
those
houses.
N
But
again
we
have
to
figure
out
where
more
people
are
going
to
live
in
our
city,
and
so
this
is
one
very
teeny
tiny
step.
I
do
worry
that
allowing
for
a
major
up
zoning
will
have
unintended
consequences,
especially
in
the
areas
of
gentrification
and
displacement.
Without
questioned,
developers
are
going
to
buy
inexpensive
properties,
tear
them
down,
build
more
densely
and
likely
raise
rents
as
a
result
of
having
to
buy
house
tear
it
down
pay
for
the
land,
and
that
is
what
markets
do
that.
That
is
what
the
private
market
does
and
I
do
have.
N
Concerns
about
that
and
I
think
we
have
to
be
very
conscious
in
monitoring
that
to
make
sure
we
don't
see
increased
displacement
as
well
as
gentrification
in
the
ward
that
I
represent.
There
were
two
very
active
small
area
plans,
one
in
the
Loring
Park
neighborhood,
one
in
the
Bryn
Mawr
neighborhood.
Both
of
the
small
area
plans
were
incorporated
into
this
plan.
The
one
in
Loring,
Park
100%,
was
incorporated
into
the
small
area
plan,
even
in
places
where
staff
had
concerns
about
it.
N
They
don't
want
to
be
buying
houses,
tearing
them
down
and
building
three
units.
That's
just
not
in
their
economic
interest.
Are
there
issues
with
the
plan
I?
Most
of
my
issues
have
to
do
with
process.
I,
don't
disagree
with
councilmember
Palmisano
point
of
view
with
regard
to
a
number
of
the
issues.
I
might
state
them
slightly
differently.
N
This
is
a
process
that
should
have
brought
us
together,
not
divided
us
and
I,
see
in
my
ward
and
from
people
who
I
respect
and
love
is
there's
a
lot
of
division
and
there's
a
lot
of
anger
and
I.
Think
a
lot
of
that
anger
is
directed
at
us
and
our
staff,
and
in
these
cases
rightfully
so
we
should
have
been
able
to
do
more
to
try
to
quell
fears,
and
we
should
have
done
more
in
order
to
take
into
consideration
what
individuals
had
to
say
between
the
first
plan
and
the
second
draft.
N
It
wasn't
until
council
members
got
involved
with
the
leadership
working
on
the
plan
that
significant
changes
were
made
and
I
would
just
wish
that
would
have
happened
sooner,
because
that
laid
out
a
idea
that
our
staff
wasn't
listening
to
the
public
and
I
think
I
think.
To
some
extent,
the
staff
were
doing
what
they
were
told,
which
was
do
something
as
big
and
bold
as
you
possibly
can.
Even
though
folks
didn't
understand
what
big
and
bold
as
possibly
can
meant,
there
should
have
been
way
more
notice
about
a
massive
upzoning.
Like
this.
N
N
I
appreciate
councilman,
pompom
Asano's
effort
to
try
to
make
sure
that
people
get
notice
about
the
zoning
changes
going
forward.
I
think
that's
a
critical
piece
to
bring
back
trust
in
the
communities
where
my
constituents
are
very
concerned
about
these
changes.
I,
don't
think
we
should
have
hired
a
PR
firm
spent
eighty
thousand
dollars
to
tell
people
that
what
they're
thinking
is
wrong.
N
I
think
it's
very
unfortunate
that
that
happened,
and
hopefully
we
can
do
better
in
the
future
at
reaching
out,
because
now
we
have
a
long
list
of
people
who
have
given
comments
and
we
have
their
addresses
and
we
can
reach
out
to
them
and
talk
to
them
about
what
the
next
steps
will
be
in
the
rezoning
process.
Ultimately
and
I
say
this
in
my
personal
relationships
and
I'll
share
this
here
today,
understanding
how
people
feel
about
what's
going
on
and
respecting
it
needs
to
happen
with
everybody,
myself
included.
N
We
can't
challenge
other
people
on
how
they
feel
about
something.
We
can
challenge
the
facts
and
we
can
challenge
them
on.
You
know
disagreeing
with
potential
unintended
consequences,
but
if
people
feel
scared,
we
have
to
take
them
at
the
place
where
they
feel
scared.
If
they
feel
hopeful,
we
should
take
them
at
the
place
where
people
feel
hopeful,
but
ultimately
this
has
to
be
something
that
brings
us
together.
N
I
want
to
commend
council
member
bender
for
working
with
me
in
order
to
make
changes
in
my
ward
as
a
result
of
those
changes,
I'm
going
to
vote
for
the
plan
today,
as
I
committed
to
do,
because
I
think
that
there
is
more
good
than
bad
and
I
think
we
can
work
forward
together
on
the
things
that
are
not
positive,
as
the
rezoning
goes
forward
to
make
sure
that
we
don't
have
the
kind
of
process
that
we've
had
up
until
this
point.
Thank
you.
Thank.
O
Thank
thank
you.
Madam
president.
You
know
the
two
rules
in
politics
are
generally
number
one.
Don't
go
back
on
your
word
and
number:
two
don't
speak
after
councilmember
Goodman
when
she's
on
a
roll,
and
in
this
case
I'm
I'm
violating
a
rule
number
two
but
I
do
I
do
agree
with
her
sentiments.
First
I
want
to
acknowledge
that
there
are
numerous,
really
significant
items
on
this
agenda.
O
I
mean
everything
from
we
passed
a
budget
a
day
ago
to
municipal
ID
to
a
racial
equity,
Action
Plan,
which
didn't
even
get
any
discussion
until
it
had
already
passed.
Thank
you,
council
vice
president
to
the
appointment
of
a
chief
to
roof
depot,
and
a
number
of
these
items
are
controversial
in
and
of
themselves,
and
the
contra
comprehensive
plan
I
think
follows
right
in
those
footsteps.
You
know
I,
remember
meeting
over
a
year
ago
with
council
president
and
council
member
Reich
to
discuss
the
the
plan
moving
forward
with
the
comprehensive
plan
and
I
want
to.
O
Thank
you
by
the
way
for
your
work
on
this.
It
is,
it's
been
a
whole
lot
of
effort
moving
this
forward,
and
you
know
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
a
comprehensive
plan
didn't
become
an
apprehensive
one
and
we
did
want
to
ensure
that
that
feedback
was
sought
throughout
the
city
and
and
I
do
acknowledge
that
the
process
was
was
messy
along
the
way
and
certainly
improvements
could
be
made.
But
the
the
work
that
went
into
this
plan
was
a
lot.
O
You
know
see
ped
staff
I
know:
we've
been
working
really
long
hours
on
this,
and
and
thank
you
and
to
the
general
public
in
the
city.
I
want
to
tell
you
that
your
council
member,
your
respective
council
members,
had
your
back.
They
really
did.
There
were
over
a
hundred
amendments
that
were
brought
forward
on
this
plan.
I
mean
I,
can
think
of
amendments
from
those
sitting.
O
You
know
we
we
do
want
to
be
able
to
walk
down
the
street
and
have
a
thousand
different
tastes
and
smells
and
sounds
and
different
kinds
of
people
all
on
the
same
block
and
and
that
that
was
the
the
underlying
impetus.
But
it's
not
just
about
housing.
This
plan
touches
on
everything
from
transportation
to
infrastructure,
to
even
how
our
sewer
system
potentially
functions.
It's
a
big
plan
and
big
plans
require
a
big
feedback
and
we
got
it.
We
got
it
and
and
I
want
to
say
whether
what
that
feedback
was
exceedingly
positive
or
feedback.
O
That
said,
this
plan
is
awful
and
we
appreciate
it.
We
sincerely
appreciated
it
and
that
feedback
was
incorporated,
whether
in
the
form
of
a
couple
of
different
drafts
or
in
the
form
of
a
hundred
plus
amendments
that
came
forward.
So
you
know
my
my
purpose
in
being
here
today
was
was
mostly
in
just
saying.
Thank
you.
O
A
A
Minneapolis
has
always
been
a
city
with
a
diversity
of
choices.
Our
city
grew
along
streetcar
lines
and
the
historic
fabric
of
our
city
was
one
with
single-family
homes
next
to
apartment
buildings
with
small
shops
and
people's.
You
know
in
the
basement
of
people's
homes
and
the
rich
history
of
how
the
diversity
of
our
city
showed
up
in
the
physical
environment
and
then
over
time.
The
city
slowly
made
those
choices
illegal
and
it
was
done
in
a
way
that
was
particular
to
racial
exclusion
and
housing.
A
A
The
consequence
of
decisions
that
were
made
over
decades
to
exclude
people
from
neighborhoods
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis
and
I'm,
really
proud
of
the
work
and
grateful
for
the
work
that
our
staff
did
a
long
with
partners
at
Augsburg,
College
and
the
University
of
Minnesota
to
acknowledge
that
head-on
and
to
use
the
comprehensive
plan
as
one
of
many
many
tools
that
our
city
needs
to
tackle
the
worst
racial
disparities
in
the
country
and
to
really
use
every
tool.
We
have
it's
come
vice.
A
President
Jenkins
said
so
eloquently
one
of
the
many
ways
that
this
plan
will
be
implemented
as
part
of
a
greater
body
of
work
is
through
the
race
equity
action
plan,
so
centering
race,
equity.
In
this
one
tool
that
we
have
as
our
city
grows
and
changes,
it's
part
of
a
much
bigger
body
of
work
to
inquiry,
integrate
and
in
a
true
focus
on
race,
equity
and
everything
that
the
city
of
Minneapolis
does
I.
A
A
Think
that
you
can
see
this
in
one
way
in
the
way
that
we've
approached
housing
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis
four
years
ago,
or
so
we
legalized
accessory
dwelling
units
in
the
city.
That
means
that,
in
every
owner-occupied
home,
a
person
in
Minneapolis
can
add
a
second
unit
and
that
that
benefit
didn't
extend
to
houses
where
renter's
live.
A
Like
80%
of
my
constituents
and
more
than
half
of
our
city
as
a
whole,
and
in
those
four
years
we've
had
about
a
hundred
new
units
built,
it's
not
a
dramatic
change,
but
it
is
one
way
to
restore
housing
options
to
every
neighborhood
in
our
city
and
to
create
that
diversity
of
housing
options
that
our
city
has
had
historically
had
before
apartment
buildings
were
banned
from
neighborhoods
in
our
city
through
our
inclusionary
zoning
ordinance.
We
have
addressed
the
issue
of
the
fact
that
you
know
when
we
get
new
buildings
in
neighborhoods.
A
The
rents
are
often
high
and
again
one
tool
that
will
help
us
get
hundreds
of
affordable
units
as
our
city
grows.
Had
we
had
this
ordinance
in
place
during
the
past
few
years,
we
would
have
had
as
many
affordable
units
built
through
this
tool
as
we
do
through
our
affordable
housing
trust
fund
every
year.
Again
hundreds
of
units
built
along
the
Greenway
or
in
downtown
or
along
the
light
rail
lines,
and
so
starting
in
January.
A
Every
market
rate
building
that
had
that,
in
you
know,
increases
by
sixty
percent
of
the
the
size
of
the
building
will
be
required
to
put
affordable
units
in
throughout
the
year.
We
will
develop
a
financial
tool.
There
was
a
pretty
significant
pushback
from
developers
on
this
policy
so
starting
next
year.
A
Building
energy
use
and
transportation
changes
in
our
city.
Again.
The
comprehensive
plan
is
just
one
tool
to
reach
these
goals
of
eliminating
racial
disparity
and
local
fight
like
contributing
to
our
local
fighting
against
climate
change,
and
it's
something
that
will
be
implemented
through
many
many
things
in
the
coming
years.
In
particular,
I
think
the
changes
that
council
members
have
led
related
to
race
equity
have
really
taken
those
goals
and
made
them
real
and
concrete.
A
So
councillor
mikanos
work
to
bring
forward
more
detail
to
green
zones
and
to
work
together
with
councilmembers,
Cunningham
and
Allisyn
and
jenkins
on
cultural
districts.
I
mean
those
that's
an
idea
that
will
only
take
shape
with
the
leadership
of
councilmembers
and
that's
why
it's
so
exciting
to
have
such
a
talented,
City
Council
full
of
bold
leaders
who
will
be
working
hard
to
implement
this
plan.
A
This
plan
has
ideas
like
innovation
districts,
where
we
could
use
green
energy
to
do
things
that
cities
have
never
done
before
and
I'm
really
excited
about
all
the
creative
ideas
that
are
coming
forward.
So
in
closing,
I
just
want
to
thank
all
of
my
colleagues
for
all
of
the
detailed
work
and
the
thought
that
went
into
this
in
many
ways
we're
just
getting
started
after
years
of
work
now
in
implementing
the
plan.
I
just
want
to
note
a
couple
things
too.
In
closing,
you
know
this.
A
This
plan
really
came
through
very
incrementally
through
two
different
City
Council's.
So,
at
the
beginning
of
the
process,
last
term,
we,
you
know
unanimously
adopted
a
Community
Engagement
plan,
which
was
intentional
in
reaching
communities
of
color
and
cultural
communities,
who
often
don't
get
involved
in
planning
efforts
like
this.
A
In
conversations
like
this,
we
adopted
14
goals
last
term,
and
then
the
new
council
came
in
and
took
that
vision
and
really
helps
shape
it
into
these
details
and
I'm
excited
to
see
where
we
are
going
next.
So
with
that
I'll
see,
if
there's
any
other
comments
or
discussion,
seeing
none
clerk,
please
call
the
roll
council.
F
B
Hi
Fletcher
hi,
Jenkins,
hi
traitors,
I.
Worse
on
these
hide
conyngham
I,
president
bender.
There
are
twelve
eyes
in
one
name
that
carries.
A
And
that
item
has
been
adopted
as
we
move
forward
with
our
agenda.
I
want
to
suggest
one
change
that
may
be
of
a
league
will
be
amenable
to
I.
Think
we
have
a
number
of
folks
here
who
are
waiting
to
hear
us,
discuss
and
vote
on
the
municipal
ID,
which
is
item
four
from
the
peace
committee's
agenda.
So
I'll
suggest
that
we
take
up
that
one
item
from
the
peace
committee
and
see
if
there's
any
objection
to
that
idea.
A
L
Thank
you,
so
much
council
president
I
appreciate
your
sensitivity
to
the
many
folks
who
took
off
of
work
and
and
came
here
this
morning
to
join
us
for
this
conversation.
So
I
am
bringing
forward
with
the
support
of
our
committee
and
our
committee
chair,
councilmember,
Philippe,
Cunningham,
the
ordinance
for
establishing
a
municipal
ID
program
and
wanted
to
talk
about
the
the
framework
for
that
approach.
It's
an
issue
that
has
been
discussed
in
City
Hall
for
probably
ten
years.
L
It
began
many
years
ago
when
councilmember
Glidden
was
around
at
the
time
and
has
continued
to
evolve
and
grow
and
up
to
a
point
now
where
this
municipal
identification
program
is
a
an
effort
for
minneapolis
by
minneapolis,
to
share
in
on
the
benefits
of
this
beautiful
city
and
remove
barriers
to
a
a
basic
necessity
which
is
becoming
a
privilege,
such
as
having
a
driver's
license
or
a
form
of
identification
that
can
that
is
needed
to
be
used.
That
is
needed
to
to
access
things,
such
as
your
ability
to
interact
with
our
police
department.
L
Your
ability
to
talk
to
a
landlord
and
and
an
apartment
and
a
host
of
other
needs
that
our
communities
have
when
when
they
require
a
form
of
identification.
So
this
work
is
in
line
with
our
work,
to
address
institutional
racism
and
to
create
more
opportunities
for
our
residents
and
to
ensure
that
there's
a
level
playing
field
so
that
we
can
all
be
more
connected.
L
United
in
a
time
where
a
lot
of
divisions
seems
to
be
shaping
national
conversations
about
the
future
of
our
country,
our
state
and,
and
sometimes
our
city,
so
I
happily
bring
this
forward.
I'm
happy
to
take
questions
and
welcome.
Other
council
members
who've
been
involved
to
weigh
in
and
do
want
to
recognize
the
many
residents
in
the
room
today
and
the
groups
and
the
community
leaders
and
business
partners
and
city
staff
who
have
gotten
us
to
this
point.
L
A
J
You,
madam
president,
I
just
wanted
to
take
a
moment
to
thank
councilmember
Connell
for
her
leadership
with
this
work.
It
was
no.
This
has
been
no
easy,
lift
and
her
leadership
I'm
proud
to
be
able
to
be
in
support
of
her
and
one
of
the
wonderful
things
about
the
municipal
ID.
That
I
truly
so
appreciate
is
fact
that
there
has
been
such
a
an
intersectional
coalition
of
folks
who
have
been
built
across
different
communities
to
come
together
on
a
similar
struggle.
Earlier
today,
I
spoke
on
how
this
will
positively
impact
the
trans
community.
J
As
a
transgender
person,
myself,
I
can
speak
personally
to
how
challenging
it
can
be
and
expensive.
It
can
be
to
change
one's
name
legally,
as
well
as
the
hoops
that
folks
have
to
jump
through
in
order
to
change
their
gender
marker
on
their
ID,
very
expensive,
very
inaccessible,
and
those
two
issues
are
actually
gonna
be
addressed
in
this
municipal
ID
program
and
that's
huge
for
the
trans
community,
and
so
as
a
trans
person.
J
I'm
really
excited
to
be
able
to
stand
in
solidarity
with
my
immigrant
refugee
neighbors
that
have
been
very
active
in
the
municipal,
ID
work
and
I
really
look
forward
to
every
single
resident
in
the
city
coming
forward
and
and
getting
a
municipal
ideas.
We
have
great
pride
in
our
city
and
stand
also
in
solidarity
with
all
of
our
neighbors.
So
thank
you
again.
Councilmember
Cano
for
your
leadership
and
I
feel
very
grateful
to
be
able
to
support
this
work
moving
forward.
J
B
A
And
everyone
is
welcome
to
stay
for
the
rest
of
the
meeting,
but
if
folks
also
want
to
get
up
and
make
their
way
out,
that's
just
fine
with
us
as
well.
Thank
you
again
so
much
for
those
who
came
ok
so
now
we'll
return
back
to
the
regular
order
of
our
meeting
agenda,
which
means
the
next
report
is
for
that
economic
development
regulatory
services
committee,
given
by
councilmember
Goodman.
N
Thank
you.
Madam
president.
The

development

bringing
12

this
morning.
Item

is
a

or
the

the
Third

is
a
data
sharing
agreement
with
Minneapolis
Public
Schools
for
our
step-up
program,
so
I
will
move
all
items
1
through
13,
but
ask
that
councilmember
Ellison
be
recognized
on
the
very
large
items.
Our
agenda
with
items
6
&
7.
A
A
B
K
You,
madam
president,
I
just
wanted
to
speak
to
these
two
items:
they're
both
in
Ward
5
but
they're.
Also
just
gonna,
be
major
amenities
for
the
north
side
as
a
whole
for
the
city
as
a
whole.
The
first
one
is
item
six,
it's
it's
the
it
has
to
do
with
the
Capri
Peter
expansion.
I
really
want
to
be
able
to
congratulate
and
long
who
was
the
executive
director
there
and
the
decades
of
work
that
it's
taken
to
get
us
to
this
point
or
to
Capri.
K
To
get
to
this
point
growing
up
in
North,
Minneapolis
I
could
say
that
I
don't
know
of
a
SPOC
in
word
artists
or
a
or
a
writer
or
a
performer
who
hasn't
gone
through
the
Capri.
At
some
point,
I've
been
to
film
fest
Northside
Film
Festival's
at
the
Capri
theater.
It's
definitely
a
major
amenity
and
a
gem
over
on
the
north
side
and
I
know
that
this
has
been
a
long
a
long
time
in
the
making,
and
so
I
want
to.
K
Think
that
in
this
partnership
with
Philips
Family
Foundation,
there
is
there's
a
strategy
for
track
construction
and
new
rules
to
eventually
owned
this
property
outright.
Philips
Family
Foundation,
it's
gonna,
take
millions
of
dollars
to
renovate
this
building
and
to
get
this
building
up
to
where
it
needs
to
be
to
and
and
and
operational
and
Philips.
Family
Foundation
is
kind
of
leveraging
their
financial
strength
in
order
to
make
this
project
happen,
with
with
a
seven-year
plan
to
get
the
property
into
ownership.
K
Of
the
co-ownership,
try
and
new
rules
which
I
think
really
I'm
interested
in
that
model
and
I
think
it's
something
that
maybe
the
city
should
should
also
be
looking
to,
so
that
we
can
learn
from
in
the
future
and
and
then
also
fill
the
Family.
Foundation
is
not
only
putting
some
money
behind
this
project,
but
they're
moving
their
full
headquarters
to
North
Minneapolis
in
this
building.
I
think
that
that's
that's
huge
and
I
think
that
this
is
a
there's
gonna,
be
a
big
project.
K
J
You,
madam
president,
I
also
wanted
to
speak
to
these
two
items.
As
the
other
Northside
council
member
I
cannot
say
how
excited
that
I
am
for
these
two
projects
to
come
to
North
Minneapolis.
Is
it's
big
for
us
to
have
gathering
places
as
a
community
for
us
to
be
able
to
have
nice
amenities
as
a
community
and
to
be
able
to
have
these
two
big
projects
coming
through
I?
Just
can't
even
say
its
say
enough.
How
excited
I
am
I
also
wanted
to
actually
take
a
moment
to
thank
Jim
Cheryl.
J
We
are
very,
very
lucky
to
have
such
a
hard-working,
committed
city
staff.
Member
who
sees
North
Minneapolis
sees
the
potential,
sees
our
people
as
assets
and
valuable
and
wants
to
make
sure
that
the
city
is
connected
to
the
residents,
the
the
entrepreneurs
and
really
lifting
them
up,
and
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
I
make
an
extra
point
about
how
wonderful
mr.
Terrell
has
been
to
work
with
and
and
the
clear
level
of
dedication
that
he
has
to
the
economic
success
of
North
Minneapolis
and
North
Side
entrepreneurs.
J
These
again,
you
know
to
have
North
siders,
actually
owning
and
operating
businesses,
especially
along
Broadway,
is
huge
and
really
really
exciting
and
I
hope
that
this
is
just
the
first
of
many
opportunities
that
will
be
coming
not
only
a
Broadway
but
to
all
of
North
Minneapolis,
and
so
thank
you
to
everyone
and
if
I
may,
I
would
like
to
move
approval.
Have
we
move
approval
of
item
six
and
seven?
Thank
you.
A
B
B
A
I
You
president
bender,
the
housing
policy
and
Development
Committee
is
bringing
forward
13
items
for
consideration
today.
The
first
five
are
land
sales
they're
on
James
Avenue,
Humboldt,
Avenue,
Oliver,
Avenue
North.
The
sixth
item
is
authorizing
staff
to
continue
with
an
analysis
of
the
summit
house
condominium
project
for
possible
housing
improvement
area.
Financing
seventh
item
is
also
to
continue
analysis
of
another
project.
This
is
Northside
art,
space
lofts,
and
this
is
for
possible
tax,
increment
financing
assistance.
The
eighth
item
is
a
carry
forward
of
year,
2018
tax-exempt
housing
revenue
bonds.
I
This
is
a
resolution
that
authorizes
us
to
carry
forward
over
52
million
in
tax
revenue,
tax-exempt
housing
revenue,
bonds
for
multifamily
housing
program.
Item
number:
nine
is
a
direction
to
see
peds
staff
and
the
city
coordinator
to
work
on
improvements
to
the
Minneapolis
Garden
lease
program.
Item
10
is
adopting
amendments
to
our
unified
housing
policy
and
item
11
is
directing
staff
to
move
forward
with
inclusion,
Neri
zoning
policy
framework
I'm
going
to
pull
both
of
those
items
for
possible
amendments.
I
Item
12
is
a
passage
of
resolution,
establishing
guiding
principles
in
support
of
investments
in
public
housing
and
the
people
who
live
there.
Item
13
is
approving
the
appointments
to
our
first
configuration
of
our
Minneapolis
Advisory
Committee
on
housing
and
those
are
all
the
items
and
I
will
move
one
through
nine
and
12
and
13
and
pull
10
and
11
for
amendments.
A
I
E
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
thank
you
cheer
Gordon,
a
slight
adjustment
in
the
language.
I
think
it's
before
you
at
the
very
bottom.
We
recall
all
this
a
particular
type
of
project
that
can
allow
inclusionary
zoning
I'm
actually
have
a
great
example.
Real-World
example
in
councillor
Gordon's
ward,
near
the
U
of
M,
where
we
we
have
basically
two
structures
unified
by
a
common
area
that
have
exclusive,
because
it's
a
PUD
one
towers
for
affordability,
one
market
rate
I
think
it's
a
really
great
model
and
obviously
the
lenders
agreed
and
it's
being
built.
E
So
the
provision
of
affordable
units
and
market
rate
units
in
separate
buildings
constitutes
a
reasonable
distribution
where
such
buildings
are
part
of
a
single
plan,
unit
development
and,
of
course,
all
other
provisions
that
are
already
in
the
policy
would
apply.
So
I
would
entertain
that
as
a
motion
to
amend.
A
A
P
To
really
you
know,
make
make
mixed-income
living
really
work
together
and
I
understand
often
the
finance
pressures
and
the
things
that
make
this
makes
sense
and
that
in
many
cases
practically
and
logistically,
this
ends
up
being
a
really
good
outcome.
But
I
also
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
watching
what
these
outcomes
look
like
and
making
sure
that
we're
not
over
time
allowing
the
way
that
this
gets
implemented
to
to
be
detrimental
to
what
the
goals
are
that
we're
trying
to
move
forward
with
with
encouraging
or
mixed
income
housing.
A
A
E
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
yes
contraflexure.
You
bring
up
a
very
good
point
and
I'm,
hoping
as
we
design
conditions
for
these
types
of
units,
that
those
are
would
be
considerations
for
work
conditions
and,
as
a
matter
of
fact,
of
the
project
that
I
was
referring
to
very
much
is
a
good
model
that
avoids
the
very
things
that
you're
talking
about,
and
you
bring
up
a
very
good
point
because
in
other
cities,
where
that
wasn't
addressed,
that's
exactly
what
happened
and
those
outcomes
were
not
not
positive.
So,
thanks
for
raising
that
at
that
issue,
Kent.
I
You
very
much
I'm
supportive
of
doing
this.
I
just
wanted
to
weigh
in
to
clarify
that
this
amendment
it
will
be
relating
to
the
broader
area
of
affordable
housing
requirements,
not
just
inclusionary
zoning
requirements,
so
it
will
relate
to
when
any
project
has
financial
assistance
from
the
city
for
affordable
housing.
So
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that's
the
understanding.
A
I
A
lot
of
people
talk
about
student
housing
and
it's
pretty
broad
when
they're
talking
about
it
informally,
at
least
in
the
ward
and
developing
around
the
University
of
Minnesota,
and
pretty
much
any
project
that
gets
created
near
there
could
potentially
be
defined
as
student
housing.
So
I
thought
I
didn't
necessarily
want
to
open
such
a
big
window
for
an
exemption
so
I
narrowed
it
down
to
the
following
student.
I
Housing
is
defined
as
a
project
located
on
a
college
campus
or
a
project
owned
an
operated
college
to
provide
housing
for
enrolled
students
or
a
project
within
one-half.
Mile
of
the
boundary
line
of
a
college
campus
of
at
least
10,000
students,
where
the
city's
Director
of
Community,
Planning
and
Economic
Development,
determines
that
greater
than
60%
of
the
units
in
the
building
are
expected
to
be
leased
undergraduate
or
graduate
students
because
of
the
design,
location
or
tenancy
restrictions.
I
A
N
I
My
first
preference
was
to
exempt
it.
I
mean
take
away
the
exemption
in
its
entirety,
although
I
also
recognize
dormitories
on
campus
I
mean
there
might
be
some
of
some
of
it
makes
some
sense,
although
this
is
further
than
I,
was
necessarily
comfortable
with,
but
it's
somewhere
that
I
believe
the
city
staff
are
going
to
have
to
evaluate
these
projects
to
determine
if
their
student,
housing
or
not,
and
also
the
authors
of
the
interim
ordinance,
are
comfortable
with,
but
I
just
also
want
to
go
on
record.
I
Appreciating
the
sentiments
of
councilmember,
Goodman
and
I
think
we
should
look
really
carefully
this
and
also
the
senior
housing
exemptions
might
play
out
in
the
more
permanent
ordinance
and
make
sure
that
we
narrow
those
down
so
that
we're
not
exempting
things
we.
So
there
aren't
unintended
consequences.
Thank.
P
Thank
You
President,
bender,
yeah
I
think
in
general.
This
points
to
a
real
challenge
that
we
have
in
thinking
about
how
to
define
student
housing
because
we
define
everything
in
terms
of
income
and
we
have
a
constituency,
that's
operating
in
a
debt
economy
rather
than
an
income
economy,
and
so
the
question
of
how
do
you
do
inclusionary
zoning
for
a
population
where
everybody
would
qualify
and
say?
Well,
you
know,
15
percent
of
the
units
should
be
the
sir
ten
percent
of
the
units.
P
To
do
this,
we
have
to
come
up
with
a
different
answer
and
we
actually
really
do
need
to
do
it.
So
it's
something
that
I'm
very
interested
in
working
on
and
I.
Think
as
we
think
about
answers
for
student
housing.
They're
going
to
look
different
and
they're
gonna
feel
different,
because
I
mean
the
economic
demand,
the
definition
of
need,
the
definition
of
just
how
housing
works
and
and
what
people
need
from
it
is
different.
P
A
A
B
A
G
You,
madam
chair
I,
have
a
staff
direction
included
for
council
members
and
when
I
mention
that
I
worked
with
staff
on
this,
they
are
supportive
of
this.
This
will
have
staff,
come
back
with
an
annual
report
on
the
progress
of
reaching
our
goals
around
inclusionary
zoning
policy
and
any
recommendations
of
what
they're
seeing
and
if
we
need
to
make
any
adjustments.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
and
I'll
just
say
that
author
of
the
ordinance
I'm
I'm
I'm
fine.
With
this
after
action,
there
were
certainly
plans
to
monitor
this
very
complicated
ordinance
that
was
crafted
in
a
way
that
hopefully,
will
continue
to
allow
a
support
market
rate
development
for
the
needed
housing
that
our
city
so
desperately
needs,
but
as
well
as
require
and
encourage
affordability
within
those
units.
A
I
do
want
to
note
that
housing
markets
change
over
time
in
a
cyclical
way,
and
so
I
just
want
to
be
cautious
of
any
suggestion
that
we
could
tie
market
changes
only
specifically
to
the
inclusionary
zoning
ordinance.
We
are
anticipating
changes
in
the
housing
market
coming.
You
know
it's
been
sort
of
been
waiting
for
the
slowdown
to
come
and,
and
it
certainly
will
likely
come
in
the
next
couple
of
years.
A
This
ordinance
is
intended
to
not
just
be
something
that
lasts
for
one
year
or
two
years,
but
rather
make
sure
that
as
our
city
grows
and
changes
over
decades,
that
we
are
not
leaving
folks
behind
and
are
incorporating
one
additional
tool
to
get
affordable
housing
in
Mercury
projects.
So
it's
more
to
of
the
direction,
but
I
just
also
want
to
note
that
that
is
in
a
bigger
context
of
the
changing
housing
market
in
the
short
term
councilmember
Schrader.
Thank.
C
You,
madam
president,
I
want
to
echo
your
comments
that
this
inclusionary
zoning
is
a
long-term
and
just
one
of
our
kind
of
solutions
to
creating
more
affordable
housing
and
also
want
to
echo
the
cautions
too
I
mean
you
talked
about
the
market,
but
I
mean
it's
a
it's
a
very
complex
area
that
if
the
president
tweets
that's
going
to
affect
the
outcomes
that
we'll
see
a
year
from
now
so
I
think
all
that
needs
to
be
taken
into
consideration.
Well,
I
I
will
be
supporting
this
I
really
like
the
the
sentiment.
C
I
think
it
also
want
to
say
that
it
points
to
some
way
that
we
need
to
be
looking
at
the
data
and
looking
at
the
outcomes
for
everything
we
do
for
affordable
housing,
but
all
of
that
comes
at
a
cost.
You
know:
I've
talked
to
the
Department
about
being
more
accountable
about
how
many,
how
many
units
are
we
actually
creating,
and
how
many
do
we
need
and
some
of
that
data
we
just
don't
have-
and
some
of
that
is
because
we
just
don't
have
the
resources
or
the
time.
C
So
when
we're
asking
staff
to
do
more,
I
want
to
take
it
in
that
context,
that
everything
we're
asking
them
to
do
is
coming
at
this.
Something
else
we're
doing
for
affordable
housing,
so
I'll
be
supporting
this,
but
I
look
forward
to
working
with
staff
also,
they
have
a
kind
of
a
more
comprehensive
picture
to
make
sure
we're
meeting
our
affordable
housing
goals.
Thank.
A
P
Thank
You
president
bender
and
I
also
want
to
thank
you
for
your
work
on
this.
This
is
something
that
I
know
you've
been
working
on
for
quite
some
time
and
I
think
it
really
is
an
important
component
of
the
overall
vision
for
housing,
as
we
think
about
implementing
the
Comprehensive
Plan
and
making
sure
that
we
are
incorporating
affordable
components
into
that.
P
I
can
certainly
point
to
several
projects
that
have
come
through
in
my
word
this
year,
that
are
that
that
could
be
held
up
as
poster
children
for
why
we
need
this
inclusionary
zoning
ordinance
and
why
we
need
to
think
about
the
ability
to
more
assertively.
Have
this
conversation
as
people
are
proposing
projects
so
I'm
very
enthusiastic
about
it
and
appreciate
your
work
on
this
Thank.
K
We
can't
wait
another
year
on
the
policy
like
this
is
really
important
and
and
while
as
we're
moving
forward
as
a
city
council
member
Goodman
mentioned
gentrification,
you
know
certainly
North
Minneapolis
is
an
area
where
people
are
sort
of
sniffing
and
seeing
and
kind
of
hoping
for
North
Minneapolis
to
turn
into
a
major
cash
cow.
Things.
K
Are
you
know
cheap
now,
people
are
looking
to
sweep
in
and
I
think
that
this
is
really
going
to
send
a
message
saying
that
you
know
we
need
affordable
housing
everywhere,
even
in
areas
where
and
maybe
even
especially
in
areas
that
are
that
are
working-class
and
are
trying
to
maintain
that
working-class
ethic
and
spirit
as
a
neighborhood
and
so
I
think
this
is
really
important
and
I
just
want
to
thank
my
colleagues
for
all
the
work
they
did.
I'm.
C
C
What
would
help
this
city
move
forward
would
be
something
that
when
development
went
up,
affordable
housing
would
be
included,
and
you
led
that
effort,
and
it
is
it's
such
an
honor,
to
be
sitting
next
to
you
and
I
feel
you
know
very
lucky
to
be
able
to
help
push
this
forward.
I'm
really
excited
for
the
direction
or
cities
had
coming
and
I.
Don't
want
to.
C
A
A
If
you
ask
some
people
about
this
ordinance,
they'll
say
it's
going
to
kill
all
development
I,
don't
believe
that
if
you
ask
some
people
about
the
ordinance
they'll
say
it
doesn't
matter
at
all,
and
it
won't
do
anything
and
I
don't
believe
that
either
I
think
it'll
be
one
type
of
tool
that
we
can
use
to.
I
can
imagine
parts
of
my
ward
across
the
city,
where
development
really
could
have
been
a
better
harness
to
make
sure
that
everyone
has
a
chance
to
live
in
neighborhoods
as
they
grow
and
change,
and
so
appreciate.
A
We
will
learn
from
the
interim
policy
that
requires
10%
of
units
at
60%
of
area
median
income
in
some
projects
that
require
additional
approval,
and
then
staff
is
working
very
hard
to
develop
financial
tools
that
will
give
project
sponsors
an
additional
option
to
trade
additional
deeper
affordability,
20%
of
units
at
60,
50%
of
area,
median
income
for
financial
support
to
support
that
rent,
rent
subsidy
from
the
city
so
both
are
exciting
and
will
be
monitored
closely
to
see
how
they're
working
and
how
we
may
need
to
change
any
other
discussion.
Steve.
B
G
The
madam
president,
the
inter
governmental
Relations
committees
bring
three
items
forward.
The
first
is
a
youth
Coordinating
Board
joint
powers
agreement.
The
second
item
is
a
updated
2019
legislative
agenda
and
policy
positions
document.
The
third
is
resolution
regarding
the
federal
government's
actions
at
the
southern
border.
I'll
go
ahead
and
move
the
committee's
report
and
stand
for
any
questions.
Council.
A
A
J
You,
madam
president,
the
public
health
environment,
civil
rights
and
engagement
committee
brings
forth
seven
items
now
that
we've
already
passed
item
number
four.
The
first
is
confirming
appointments
to
the
Civil
Rights
Commission.
The
number
two
is
the
passage
of
ordinance
amending
Title
10
chapter
203
of
the
Minneapolis
Code
of
Ordinances
relating
to
food
code.
Amending
provisions
related
to
staple
foods.
Number
three
is
the
passage
of
an
ordinance
creating
an
office
of
violence
prevention
within
the
health
department.
J
Number
four
is
the
municipal
ID
five
is
proving
appointments
to
the
homegrown
food.
Excuse
me:
homegrown,
Minneapolis,
food
council,
six
is
approving
appointments
to
the
community
environmental
Advisory
Commission
7
is
on
a
previous
council
action
to
increase
the
amount
of
Minnesota
opioid
response
corps
members
from
one
to
two
and
number:
eight
is
the
donation
of
travel
and
lodging
expenses
for
the
2018
national
immigrant
integration
conference.
I've
moved
approval
of
these
items,
counselor.
J
Okay,
so
I
just
wanted
to
briefly
speak
to
item
three,
which
is
the
creation
of
the
office
of
violence
prevention.
This
is
a
very
exciting
move
that
we're
making
with
the
violence
prevention
we
have.
There
are
multiple
cities
across
the
country
that
already
have
office
of
violence
prevention,
which
homes
was
home
to
all
the
efforts
like
a
group,
violence,
intervention
next
step,
the
blueprint
approve
Institute,
so
I
could
keep
going
on.
This
is
really
exciting.
Actually,
Milwaukee
built
their
office
of
violence
prevention
based
on
the
city
of
Minneapolis
as
violence
prevention
work.
J
So
so
it's
actually
really
exciting
for
us
to
to
be
creating
this
office,
it's
really
going
to
be
the
hub
of
where
all
the
violence
prevention
work
will
live.
We
have
really
really
wonderful
city
staff
that
have
amazing
content
expertise
with
the
public
health
approach
to
public
safety,
and
so
it's
not
huge
mold,
but
it's
quite
impactful
in
terms
of
making
sure
that
violence
prevention
remains
a
permanent
priority
of
the
city.
This
essentially
kind
of
the
creation
of
this
office
essentially
makes
the
violence
prevention
work,
leader,
proof,
meaning
that
doesn't
matter.
J
Who
is
an
elected
office
that
the
work
will
continue
to
live
on?
What
we've
seen
historically
is
that
it's
been
one-time
dollars
or
you
know
it's
the
it's
protected,
because
there
are
certain
elected
officials
who
really
care
about
it,
and
this
is
taking
that
out
of
the
hands
of
elected
officials
and
making
it
permanent,
and
so
when
we
think
about
the
public
health
approach
to
public
safety.
J
Typically,
traditionally,
it's
spoken
of
almost
simply
talking
about
enforcement
and,
specifically
law
enforcement.
What
this
office
of
violence
prevention
does
it
is.
It
helps
us,
expand
the
conversation
around
Public
Safety
to
include
prevention,
intervention
and,
hopefully,
re-entry
as
well
really
entering
into
the
community
after
incarceration.
Currently,
we
don't
have
any
supports
that
around
that
at
the
city.
So
thank
you
to
everyone
who
supported
funding
violence
prevention
fund
so
that
we
are
able
to
continue
to
grow
this
work
from
the
office
of
violence
prevention.
Now
that
we
have
one.
So
thank
you.
Everyone
thank.
A
That
is
also
multidisciplinary
and
works
together
with
our
Police
Department,
the
City
Attorney's
Office,
the
Civil,
Rights
Department
and
others
across
the
city
is
really
meaningful
and
I
think
we'll
continue
to
see
the
benefits
of
this
work.
As
one
small
measure,
the
number
of
guns
that
we
collect
back
off
the
streets
through
our
violence
prevention
efforts
dramatically
increased
that
activity,
the
getting
guns
off
the
street
just
skyrocketed
after
we
created
a
safe
way
for
people
to
turn
in
their
guns,
and
it's
just
one
example
of
the
many
stories
we
hear
from
folks.
A
Who've
benefited
from
violence
prevention,
work
who
are
able
to
turn
their
lives
around,
and
this
is
a
supportive
and
hopeful
way
of
looking
at
violence
preservation,
prevention
that
takes
an
intergenerational
look
that
takes
a
community-based
approach
and
I
think
is
really
really
truly
meaningful.
Impactful
one
of
the
most
important
things
that
I've
had
the
privilege
to
have
a
small
piece
in
over
the
years
and
councilmember
Cunningham
again.
Thank
you
so
much
for
taking
this
work
to
the
next
level
and
providing
the
leadership
that
it
needs
to
really
blossom
and
grow
into
the
future
anything
else.
B
A
L
Thank
you,
madam
chair
and
I,
do
want
to
say
that
it's
been
a
wonderful
time
chairing
the
Public
Safety
Committee
this
entire
year
and
we're
gonna
get
ready
to
double
down
on
our
efforts
next
year,
as
we
meet
twice
a
month.
So
under
public
safety
and
emergency
management,
our
committee
is
bringing
forward
eight
items.
Item
number
one
is
accepting
a
2018
emergency

A
O
Obviously,
take
a

of
pride
in
putting
toward
the
reappointment
of
chief
Arredondo
and
in
fact
the
first
appointment
to
one
full
term.
I
think
he's
exactly
the
leader
that
our
communities
need
right
now.
He
inspires
confidence
both
on
the
Minneapolis
Police
Department,
as
well
as
everything
single
neighborhood
throughout
our
city.
O
He's
someone
that
I
put
a
great
deal
of
trust
in
and
someone
who
I
can
back
100
percent
and
so
I
certainly
put
forward
his
name
with
great
pride
and
and
he's
just
arrived
at
chief
you're
you're,
exactly
the
leader
that
we
need
right
now
and
I.
Very
much
look
forward
to
working
with
you
over
the
next
term.
J
J
As
somebody
who
has
worked
in
the
mayor's
office
and
has
some
familiarity
around
police
chief
and
the
relationships
I
have
to
say,
we
are
genuinely
so
lucky
so
Thank
You
chief
and
we
I
can
speak
for
myself
in
saying
that
I
have
your
back
and
that
I
support
you
in
making
the
cultural
change
in
making
the
hard
decisions
being
out
there
and
making
change
is
hard
and
so
to
know
that
we've
got
you
back
as
I.
Have
your
back
and
that
I
look
very
much
so
forward
to
working
with
you
as
we
move
forward.
I.
J
Just
don't
want
us
ever
ever
ever
to
take
for
granted
the
fact
that
we
have
an
amazing
police
chief
here.
This
is
rare,
and
this
is
really
special
in
a
unique
opportunity
to
work
with
someone
who
truly
is
from
the
community
of
community.
Has
the
respect
and
trust
of
the
community,
as
well
as
the
rank
and
file
I
mean
really.
We
have
a
magical
unicorn
for
our
police
chief.
J
P
Thank
You
president
ender
I
spoke
in
public
safety,
so
I'll
be
brief,
but
I
just
wanted
to
know.
There
was
an
editorial
in
the
starch
again
this
week
that
noted
that
community
collaboration
is
working
they're,
seeing
a
shift,
we're
all
seeing
shift.
Things
are
trending
in
the
right
direction
and
people
are
starting
to
notice
and
people
are
starting
to
feel
that
and
I
think
that's
evidence
that
we
have
the
right
person
in
charge
and
we've
particularly
appreciated
the
analysis
that
it
is
both
leadership
and
policing,
but
also
leadership
and
community
collaboration.
P
Q
You
Madame
president
I
would
like
to
thank
the
mayor
for
appointing
chief
Randall
and
though
I
will
not
match
the
fantastical
flowery
words
of
councilmember
Cunningham
I've,
known
chief
Randall
for
five
years
as
I've,
been
on
the
council
and
he's
been
a
fantastic
city.
Servant
and
I
appreciate
this
appointment
and
fully
supported
and
wish
him
all
the
best,
and
he
has
my
support
fully.
Thank
you.
Thank.
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair
and
I
spoke
in
favor
of
disappointment
in
the
executive
committee
and
on
the
Public
Safety
Committee
as
well,
but
I
just
wanted
to
just
offer
my
congratulations
and
sincere
desire
to
continue
to
work
together
with
UT
to
create
Minneapolis
as
the
safest
city
in
America,
and
thank
you
for
your
leadership.
Looking
forward
to
continuing
to
work
with
you.
A
Thank
you.
Anyone
else,
I
will
then
just
very
very
briefly
also
echoing
my
colleagues,
my
deep
thanks
and
appreciation
for
the
leadership
of
chief
arredondo
for
our
police
department.
The
chief
and
I
got
to
know
each
other
really
well.
After
jor
Clark
was
killed
at
the
fourth
Precinct
and
chief,
you
were
deputy
chief.
A
You
know
we're
lucky
in
in
the
fifth
precinct,
as
board
tend
to
have
inspector
wait,
leading
the
way
on
Co
responder
program
development,
and
that
is
just
one
example
of
the
many
innovative
programs
that
we're
seeing
in
the
police
department
in
a
time
that
in
the
past
few
years,
the
department
has
really
transformed
I
know
that
you're
continuing
that
change
into
the
future.
So
thank
you
anything
else.

Q
I
A
Thank
you
feels
like
all
right.
So,
let's
you
can
learn
why
we
take
up
your
snap
direction
and
then
we'll
just
vote
on
that
item
along
with
the
rest
of
the
agenda,
so
councillor
Gordon
on
item
one
thank.
I
You
very
much
this
is
something
I
believe
I
mentioned
that
committee,
the
whole
and
I
know
talked
about
it
weighs
it
means
a
little
bit
to
having
to
do
with
this
increasing
the
the
amount
that
kind
of
requires
more
scrutiny
from
one
hundred
thousand
one
hundred
and
seventy
five
thousand,
and
this
is
not
making
any
amendments
to
any
of
the
other
ordinances
that
are
getting
amended
or
any
of
the
other
policies,
but
directing
staff
from
finance
and
property
services
to
report
back
to
the
public,
health,
environment,
civil
rights
and
engagement
committee
and
the
raise
equity
Subcommittee
on
a
quarterly
basis,
starting
the
third
quarter
of
2019
on
the
spending
categories
by
department
for
contracts
under
one
hundred
and
seventy
five
thousand
dollars
to
the
extent
individual
departments
do
not
show
meaningful
progress
towards
diversity
of
spending.
I
Civil
rights
and
finance
and
property
services
are
further
directed
to
develop
a
policy
that
would
require
city
departments
to
submit
contracts
for
review
by
civil
rights
and
finance
and
property
services
in
a
manner
similar
to
the
good-faith
efforts
process
within
the
small
and
underutilized
business
program
and
I'll
just
speak
to
that
briefly.
I
think
this
will
help
accomplish
some
of
the
things
that
I
was
concerned,
that
we'll
be
losing,
which
is
some
greater
scrutiny.
There
are
millions
of
dollars
that
are
let
out
in
the
contracts
between
$100,000
and
one
hundred
and
seventy
five
thousand
dollars.
I
I
think
it
was
over
two
million
last
year
and
over
four
million
the
year
before,
but
I
don't
have
the
numbers
in
front
of
me
and
I'm
just
concerned
that
we
should
be
giving
more
scrutiny
to
those
I
know
that
we
have
high
hopes
for
the
target
market
program
to
be
working
very
successfully,
but
so
far
the
last
two
years.
Ninety
percent
of
all
the
target
market
programs
have
gone
to
small
businesses
that
are
not
owned
and
operated
by
people
of
color
and
I'd
like
to
fix
it.
A
B
B
L
You,
madam
president,
and
so
I,
have
a
motion
to
bring
forward
I'm
gonna
lean
on
the
clerk
here
to
see
if
it
would
be
to
amend
the
items
under
ways
and
means
or
to
substitute,
but
the
staff
Direction
is
here
in
front
of
you
and
it
is
relating
to
the
Hiawatha
maintenance
facility,
campus
expansion
and
so
I
just
want
to
take
a
little
bit
of
time
to
introduce
the
staff
direction.
L
L
The
item
number
two
is
having
our
city
staff
work
with
the
community
to
develop
a
plan
to
identify
public
art,
landscaping,
sound
buffer
and
fencing
treatments
to
help
mitigate
any
undesired.
You
know
sounds
or
activities
right
there
on
that
on
that
residential
area,
because
it's
quite
close
to
some
of
the
homes
I
remember
three
is
having
a
very
specific
work
plan
with
Public,
Works
and
HR
to
talk
about
the
resources
and
in
the
strategies.
L
We
will
need
to
ensure
that
the
residents
within
the
three
mile
radius
area
are
the
priorities
for
hiring
and
training
for
future
job
openings
at
this
site
and
I
will
also
say
that
I'm
very
open
to
including
other
parts
of
the
city
in
that
plan
and
I
know
that
our
Director
of
Public,
Works,
Miss,
Robin
Hutchinson,
had
talked
about
looking
at
the
areas
of
the
city
where
we
have
our
cap
zone
and
how
we
can
connect
those
conversations
to
ensure
that
this
is
an
amenity
shared
by
many
people
in
the
city.
L
Even
if
the
location
is
in
East.
Philips.
Item
number
four
is
further
refining
and
moving
forward
in
the
community
solar
garden
plan,
or
idea
that
we
began
a
few
years
ago,
and
this
is
identifying
at
least
100
square
feet
available,
rooftop
space
to
accommodate
a
solar
program
that
will
serve
low-income
households
in
the
surrounding
area.
Item
number
five
is
a
nod
to
some
of
the
work
that
comes
from
amber
bender
and
councilmember.
L
L
In
addition
to
partnerships
with
labor
groups,
item
number
seven
is
a
component
about
doubling
down
to
support
our
neighbors
to
ensure
that
they
have
everything
needed
to
ask
the
city
for
the
support
required
to
establish
the
urban
agriculture
project.
And
so
this
is
establishing
a
pilot
project
with
the
community
to
come
back
to
us
no
later
than
quarter.
Three
of
2019
to
the
public
health,
environment,
civil
rights
and
engagement
committee
and
I
hope
our
chair
is
okay
with
that
on
that
front,
to
make
sure
that
we
can
hear
from
the
community
directly.
L
What
are
those
plans
for
that
vision?
What
have
city
staff
done
to
support
that
and
to
bring
that
forward,
and
certainly
we
can
bring
this
report
back
to
the
committee
before
quarter
three,
but
we
just
wanted
to
build
in
enough
time
for
folks
to
get
together
and
to
put
together
a
very
clear,
thoughtful
plan
of
how
to
bring
some
clear
asks
to
the
table
that
will
align
with
a
community's
vision
in
the
city's
direction
in
a
more
constructive
manner.
Moving
forward,
so
I'm
feeling
really
good
about
number
seven
and
the
undeveloped
enos
pilot
project.
L
Where
we're
we're
committing
to
to
see
that
vision,
fo,
move
forward.
Item
number
eight
is
authorizing
the
RFP
for
construction
services
to
remediate
and
demolish
as
long
as
we
have
a
city
conversation
and
a
feedback
from
the
Hiawatha
Advisory
Committee
about
where
the
best
place
is
for
these
activities
to
happen
and
whether
or
not
we
are
able
to
salvage
a
portion
of
the
building
to
protect
the
character
of
the
former
roof
depot
site
and
continue
to
activate
the
Greenway
and
the
access
to
28th
Street.
L
And
the
last
item
here
is
authorizing
the
increase
to
contract
number
c41
654
with
RSP
architects
for
the
amount
of
nine
hundred
fifty
thousand
dollars,
bringing
the
new
total
to
2.7
million
for
the
additional
architectural
and
engineering
design
services
that
it
will
require.
So
I've
spent
a
considerable
time
meeting
with
community
and
staff
and
members
here
to
arrive
at
a
location
where
we
can
all
feel
good
about
where
this
project
is
moving
forward
and
I
want
to
thank
council
members,
Phillipe
Cunningham,
councilmember,
Ellison,
councilmember,
Fletcher
and
certainly
councilmember
Andrew
Johnson
I
was
gonna.
L
When
it
was
presented
to
me
and
and
hopefully
in
the
future,
you
know
we
don't.
We
don't
kind
of
have
to
plop
things
on
to
folks,
but
we
can
kind
of
ask
them
to
ask
them
to
participate
in
something
like
this
I
understand
the
circumstances
of
this
project
and
not
allow
for
that
back
in
2014-2015,
and
this
is
where
we
are
today
and
I
want
to
be
a
leader
in
this
conversation.
L
I
want
to
be
able
to
shape
this
for
and
with
my
community,
and
so
that's
why
I
decided
to
bring
this
forward
and
instead
of,
like
you,
know,
voting
for
a
no
project
altogether,
and-
and
that's
after
talking
to
many
folks
to
see
where
the
council's
will
was
add
on
this
project.
And
why
and
those
conversations
helped
me
to
see
things
in
different
ways
and
while
we
perhaps
may
not
agree
on
some
of
those
analysis,
I
could
certainly
gathered
more
understanding
about
some
of
the
contours
of
this
conversation.
L
So
I
want
to
acknowledge
that
all
of
those
construct
discussions
were
constructive
for
me
and
helped
me
to
figure
out
how
to
make
the
best
of
this
situation,
knowing
that
we
have
had
thousands
of
hours
of
volunteer
time
from
community
groups
and
residents
really
interested
in
ensuring
that
the
the
areas
in
our
inner
city
they're,
the
most
diverse
and
the
most
low-income
and
the
most
polluted
have
a
new
horizon,
have
a
new
future
and
and
I
would
say
that
this
is
probably
one
of
the
prime
examples
of
how
we're
going
to
achieve
that.
Together.
L
It's
not
easy
to
turn
and
the
you
know,
decades
and
centuries
of
environmental
racism
around,
but
I
believe
that
we're
putting
on
a
good
foot
forward
here
in
this
direction.
I
did
joke
with
my
residents
that
approving
this
today
would
likely
mean
that
80%
of
my
workload
would
be
spent
on
this
project,
just
to
make
sure
that
everything's
moving
in
the
right
direction
and
so
I
hope
Ummat,
is
ready
to
take
over
the
rest
of
my
job
in
the
coming
years.
L
L
So
I
want
to
thank
the
community
of
Philips
for
stepping
up
and
for
always
defending
their
ground
and
I
know
that
this
is
perhaps
in
something
that
was
not
ideal
for
for
the
community,
because
this
is
not
the
vision
that
they
wanted,
but
I
wanna
assure
you
that
I
am
going
to
continue
to
stand
up
for
your
voice
and
your
vision
and
I.
Think
many
of
my
colleagues
on
this
Dyess
can
probably
attest
to
that.
L
L
Q
Thank
you
ma'am
president,
and
you
know
I'm
very
supportive
of
option
a
or
master
plan
concept
a
and
I
support
the
staff
direction.
I
don't
see
much
issues
with
the
staff
direction,
I'm
very
excited
that
common
sense
is
going
to
prevail
today
and
we're
gonna
move
forward
with
the
hard
work
that
the
city
staff
have
done
and
also
I'm
very
excited
about
the
three
mile
radius
and
the
committee,
because
that
includes
all
of
what
six
inclusive
the
Riverside
includes.
Q
K
K
You
know
I,
think
that
you
had
convinced
me
a
while
ago
to
really
more
that
convinced
me
a
while
ago
to
really
trust
your
leadership
and
follow
your
lead
on
when
it
came
to
this
project
and
so
I'm
happy
to
see
you
landing
in
a
place
where
you
feel
like
you're,
able
to
powerfully
advocate
for
the
community
and
and
and
I'm
support,
very
supportive.
It's
that
direction.
So
thank
you.
K
I
We
should
probably
lead
by
example,
and
we
should
demonstrate
how
we
as
a
city
as
an
entity
that
does
development
in
neighborhoods,
want
to
make
sure
that
any
of
those
projects
and
developments
that
we
do
bring
community
benefits
and
can
address
the
concerns
of
the
nearest
neighbors
around
us
and
with
that
sentiment
and
that
faith
and
belief
in
our
expanding
staff
that
is
compassionate
and
empathetic.
People
who
understand
community
and
care
about
that
and
council
members
who
will
be
engaged
and
involved
in
this
work.
P
A
Thank
you
any
further
discussion
and
council
Meccano
substitute
motion.
I,
don't
see
any
I
will
just
add
again
also
my
thanks
to
councilmember,
Cano
and
really
every
council
member
here
for
working
together
on
this
solution.
I
think
this
is
what
it
looks
like
to
have
a
City
Council,
where
we
can
trust
each
other
and
I.
Think
council
Meccano
has
put
together
a
package
here
that
requires
us
to
support
her
leadership
and
make
sure
that
we
are
following
through
on
these
commitments
to
the
community.
A
So
I
know
that
we
have
your
back
councilmember
Cano
and
making
sure
that
this
vision,
you
know,
becomes
the
success
not
only
on
this
site
but
in
the
bigger
vision.
That's
put
forward
here
in
the
staff
direction,
including
continuing
to
pursue
the
community
interest
in
urban
agriculture
and
economic
development
in
in
the
community.
A
A
C
You
Madame
president,
the
zoning
and
planning
committee
will
be
bringing
forward
six
items
for
approval.
First
is
the
passage
of
an
inclusionary
zoning
regulations
ordinance.
The
second
is
the
approving
council
appointments
to
the
Minneapolis
Arts
Commission.
The
third
is
the
approving
of
a
rezoning
at
2:08
Oliver
Avenue
South.
C
The
fourth
is
the
approving
of
an
environmental
assessment
worksheet
for
3
1
1
to
2nd
Street
southeast
development
and
approving
the
revised
findings
of
fact,
as
prepared
by
the
Department
of
Community,
Planning
and
Economic
Development
number
five
is
the
proving
of
an
application
for
5827
and
Nicolette
Avenue,
and
the
sixth
is
the
approving
of
the
zoning
code
text.
Amendment
for
work
plan
before
moving
these
forward.
I
will
defer
to
councilmember
Fletcher
to
have
some
comments
on
number
4.
P
That
a
vote
today
is
not
an
endorsement
of
230
story
towers
that
in
fact,
I
don't
believe
that
either
the
developer
is
going
to
end
up
proposing
that
Vulcan
scaled,
nor
that
we
would
support
it
here.
That
being
said,
we
do
these
aaaaw
documents
based
on
the
biggest
possible
thing
that
you
might
put
forward
so
that
we
can
consider
the
environmental
impacts,
as
that
conversation
goes
on,
and
so
the
question
before
us
is
just
considering
the
adequacy
of
that
EA
W.
C
B
A
You
those
items
carry
and
have
been
adopted.
That
brings
us
to
the
introduction
and
referral
calendar.
I
have
two
mini
pages
in
front
of
me,
so
we
have
two
items
on
our
introduction
and
referral
calendar
this
morning.
First
pursuant
to
notice,
councilmember
Palmisano
and
moves
to
introduce
a
first
reading
to
and
refer
to,
the
intergovernmental
relations
committee.
The
subject
matter
of
an
ordinance
to
amend
the
code
related
to
a
biennial
budget
process,
clarifying
details
required
to
be
included
in
the
mayor's
recommended
budget
and
aligning
budgetary
timelines
with
the
state
law.
A
Second,
pursuant
to
notice
councillor
Gordon
moves
to
introduce
first
reading
to
and
refer
to,
the
zoning
and
planning
committee,
the
subject
matter
of
an
ordinance
amending
regulations
related
to
intentional
communities
and
cluster
developments.
Are
there
any
questions
on
either
of
those
introductions,
seeing
none
in
a
all
in
approval,
please
say
aye
any
opposed,
say
no
that
carries
and
those
introductions
have
been
given
and
made
made
and
the
subject.
Matters
will
be
referred
to
the
standing
committees
in
the
first
regular
cycle
of
2019.
That
brings
us
to
unfinished
business.
A
I
believe
that
we
have
five
matters
which
are
subject
to
ongoing
review
by
staff
and
therefore
will
continue
to
be
postponed
to
the
next
regular
meeting
of
the
City
Council
under
the
order
of
new
business.
We
have
one
item
that
was
indented
today
added
to
the
agenda.
This
morning,
the
proposed
confidentiality
agreement
tied
to
possible
property
acquisition
with
Sears
Holding,
Corporation
410
Westlake
Street,
and
offer
station
for
the
chief
finance
officer
to
execute
the
agreement
on
behalf
of
the
city.
This
is
related
to
read
the
reopening
Nicollet
project,
co-director
Frank.
M
Madam
president
and
council
members
you've
had
a
very
full
day
and
I'm
very
cognizant
of
being
between
you
and
being
done
with
your
last
meeting
of
the
year.
So
I
will
be
as
brief
as
possible.
I've
had
a
chance
to
speak
with
almost
all
of
you
House
member
Ellison.
My
apologies,
I,
couldn't
find
you
this
morning.
M
We
are
making
some
modest
amount
of
progress
as
we
try
to
make
a
deal
for
the
last
piece
of
property,
which
is
the
lease
of
the
Kmart
at
Lake
and
Nicollet
that
the
city
would
need
to
realize
our
long-held
vision
of
reopening
Nicollet
at
Lake
Street.
One
condition
to
continue
to
proceed
as
the
Sears
Holdings
bankruptcy
proceeds
is
to
sign
a
confidentiality
agreements
that
that
their
process
requires.
Our
city,
attorneys
have
reviewed
the
document,
I
believe
you
have
it
in
front
of
you
and
we're
asking
for
your
authorization
to
sign
that
agreement.
M
A
You
are
there
any
so
I'll
go
ahead
and
I'm
sorry,
so
I
will
go
ahead
and
move
this
item
to
authorize
staff
to
execute
this
agreement
and
see
if
there's
any
other
questions
for
staff
or
any
depression.
B
B
A
I
The
new
folks
who
showed
up
and
how
involved
and
engaged
and
actively
were
in
moving
things
forward
and
challenging
all
of
us
to
maybe
keep
up
with
some
of
that.
But
I
also
really
want
to
thank
the
council
president
for
her
leadership
and
the
vice
president
as
well
for
getting
us
to
this
point.
It's
been
quite
a
year
and
I'm
grateful
Thank.
B
President
with
the
council's
indulgence,
I
would
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
recognize
the
members
of
my
own
team.
The
legislative
support,
an
administrative
team
in
the
clerk's
office
who
are
in
the
chamber
today.
These
are
individuals,
as
you
know,
work
behind
the
scenes
in
all
the
myriad
of
details
that
go
into
a
smooth
operation
of
City
Council
and
it's
committees
and
also
handle
the
day-to-day
management
of
our
council
and
clerk
department.
B
The
team
has
under
the
supervision
of
Jackie
Hanson,
who
could
not
be
with
us
because
she
decided
to
take
a
cruise
this
week
and
I
decided
to
let
her
but
I
do
want
to
introduce
those
who
are
here.
Our
committee
coordinators,
if
you'll
stand,
Irene
Kasper,
is
in
the
audience.

This
is
a
small
but
very
talented
team.
It
adds
incredible
value
to
the
City
Council
to
the
city,
clerk
of
my
extension
to
the
enterprise
and
the
entire
city
as
City
Clerk
I,
get
to
take
credit
and
recognition
for
the
amazing
work
that
they
do,
but
it
is
their
talent,
expertise
and
commitment
that
makes
all
of
the
work
we
do
in
our
office
possible
and,
as
I
always
remind
all
of
you
and
everyone,
nothing
works
without
the
clerk's.
These
are
the
clerk's
who
make
it
work.
A
Thank
you
anything
else.
I
will
then
be
very
brief
in
my
thanks,
but
I
can't
let
them
on
the
go
without
thinking
everyone
so
much
for
this
busy
and
exciting
first
year
of
our
term
together,
it
is
an
honor
to
serve
as
the
president
of
a
body
full
of
bold
imaginative
leaders,
not
just
here
in
Minneapolis
but
across
the
country,
and
your
work
is
inspiring
people
to
think
differently
to
do
better,
to
engage
our
whole
community
and
I.
A
A
We
need
to
beg
them
to
stay
because
truly
going
above
and
beyond
every
single
day
and
providing
leadership
to
staff,
we're
working
so
hard,
many
of
whom
have
many
other
options
and
places
they
could
be
working
but
choose
to
stay
here
to
work
together
with
us
in
such
an
exciting
time
in
our
city,
and
we
so
deeply
appreciate
how
much
you
have
done
this
year.
It's
just
truly
incredible
and
to
the
clerk's
and
to
all
the
departments
as
well
and
finally,
our
own
staff
and
our
offices.
A
You
know
you
keep
us
going
through
the
day
and
I
know.
We
will
each
appreciate
you,
but
I
want
to
just
name
the
policy
aides
who
work
for
us
and
come
here
every
day
and
add
their
talents
and
to
support
the
city
and
all
of
us.
So
thank
you.
Thank
you.
Happy
New,
Year,
Happy,
Holidays,
and
thanks
again
and
with
that
we
are
adjourned.
