Description
Minneapolis City Council Meeting
A
Good
morning,
everyone
I'm
Lisa
bender,
the
president
of
the
Minneapolis
City
Council,
and
today
we
have
two
honoree
resolutions
to
present
before
we
begin
with
the
official
meeting
and
the
first
is
honoring.
The
50th
anniversary
of
the
Minneapolis
community
education
program
and
I
will
turn
this
over
to
councilmember
Palmisano.
To
present
the
resolution.
B
C
Thank
you
for
this
honor,
so
Minneapolis
Community
Education
is
celebrating
50
years
this
year
started
in
1968
doing
programming
for
all
members
of
the
city.
We
offer
a
programming
that
is
adult
enrichment,
adult
education,
55,
+,
2,
after-school
programs
across
the
city,
and
so
we've
continued
to
grow
over
the
years,
and
we
will
continue
to
offer
more
programming
throughout.
We
just
received
actually
a
community,
a
full-service
Community
Schools
grant
from
the
federal
government
that
will
expand
our
programming
even
more
so
we're
very
excited
to
continue
to
serve
all
of
the
city.
That's.
B
Gonna
be
a
really
great
partnership
with
our
parks.
I
have
to
say
my
personal
story:
I
haven't
had
a
chance
to
really
do
any
of
the
community.
Ed
programs
myself,
but
I
could
not
live.
My
life
and
many
people
here
at
the
city
could
not
live
their
life
without
the
benefit
and
the
help
of
Minneapolis
kids
program
for
before
and
after
school
care,
which
is
where
I
just
give
all
of
my
trust
over
to
the
people
in
community
ed
and
it's
amazing,
and
it
is
a
lifesaver
for
working
parents.
B
Whereas
the
adult
education
serves
over
six
thousand
adults
annually
in
its
classes,
including
GED
college
prep,
English,
language
learning,
citizenship
and
Career
Pathways,
and
whereas
Minneapolis
kids,
school
age,
child
care
before
and
after
school
offers
opportunities
for
intellectual,
physical
and
social
development.
Whereas
the
city
of
lakes
AmeriCorps,
provides
tutoring
and
enrichment
opportunities
for
long-term
English
language
learners,
leading
the
increased
academic
language,
growth,
student
engagement
and
parent
connection
to
the
school.
Now,
therefore,
be
it
resolved
that
the
mayor
and
city
council
do
hereby
continue
to
support
and
celebrate
the
mission
of
Minneapolis
community
education
program.
D
A
Thank
you
and
then
the
second
resolution
is
with
our
friends
from
the
American
Cancer
Society,
and
it's
recognizing
October
as
breast
cancer
awareness
month
and
October
5th
is
metastatic
breast
cancer
awareness
day
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
and
this
is
a
important
issue
for
me.
I
am
a
breast
cancer
survivor
now,
eight
years
from
diagnosis
and
I
want
to
add
a
special
note
today
to
say
that
I
was
pregnant
when
I
was
diagnosed
and
going
through
cancer
treatment.
A
When
the
federal
government
made
it,
she
made
sure
that
I
was
protected
and
had
access
to
health
insurance,
even
with
pre-existing
conditions
and
for
millions
of
cancer
survivors
like
me,
and
anyone
with
a
pre-existing
condition.
It
is
terrifying
to
hear
talks
of
rolling
back
those
protections
and
would
have
significant
impact
on
access
to
screening
and
access
to
the
treatment
that
has
made
such
a
difference
in
my
life.
So
that's
my
special
note
for
our
times
today,
I'll
read
the
resolution
and
then
I'd
love
to
invite
you
to
talk
more
about
what's
coming
up
this
month.
A
So,
whereas
there
are
more
than
3.1
million
women
in
the
United
States
living
with
a
history
of
invasive
breast
cancer,
and
whereas
this
year,
4,500
women
in
Minnesota
are
expected
to
be
diagnosed
with
breast
cancer
and
632
die
from
the
disease
and
whereas
breast
cancer
ranks
second
as
a
cause
of
cancer
death
in
women.
And
whereas
breast
cancer
screening
has
been
found
to
reduce
breast
cancer
mortality
and
was
but
when
breast
cancers
are
detected
at
an
early
stage.
A
Survival
is
99%
and
whereas,
since
2002,
approximately
80
percent
of
Minnesota
women,
ages,
40
and
over
have
received
a
mammogram
in
the
previous
two
years,
and
whereas
only
46
percent
of
uninsured
women
in
Minnesota
have
received
a
recent
mammogram
in
2010
and
whereas
the
uninsured
underinsured
and
underserved
are
least
likely
to
get
screening
for
breast
cancer,
which
means
they
are
more
likely
to
be
diagnosed
at
a
late
stage
when
chances
of
survival
dropped
to
24%.
And
whereas
in
Minnesota
non-hispanic
white
women
are
a
kradic
risk
of
being
diagnosed
with
breast
cancer.
A
But
African
American
women
are
greatest
risk
of
dying
from
breast
cancer
and
whereas
women
ages,
15
to
40
54,
die
more
frequently
from
breast
cancer
than
any
other
cancer.
In
african-american,
women
under
the
age
of
35
die
from
breast
cancer
at
three
times
the
rate
of
white
women
and
whereas
the
federal
government
has
invested
more
than
1.8
billion
dollars
in
breast
cancer
research
since
2010,
leading
to
the
discovery
of
life-extending
drugs
and
whereas
there
is
no
cure
for
breast
cancer.
A
That
one
of
the
reasons
I
think
the
American
Cancer
Society's
work
is
so
important
is
that
they
also
invest
in
life-saving
research,
including
in
a
drug
called
Herceptin,
which
became
available
to
early-stage
breast
cancer
patients
very
just
a
couple
of
years
before
I
was
diagnosed
and
that
drug
doubled
my
chances
of
survival
and
that
doubled.
You
know
my
ability
to
be
there
for
my
kids
first
day
of
kindergarten,
graduation
from
high
school,
maybe
I'll
be
a
grandmother
someday,
that's
a
big
deal.
It
means
a
lot
to
a
lot
of
women
like
me,
so
thank
you.
E
And
we
have
a
Hope
Lodge
right
near
the
university
Minnesota
for
patients
who
are
diagnosed
with
cancer
so
that
they
have
a
place
to
stay
while
they're
receiving
treatment.
I'd
like
to
turn
it
over
to
my
colleague,
Eric
Noll,
to
talk
about
our
Making
Strides
Against,
Breast,
Cancer
event
that
we
have
coming
up
at
the
end
of
this
month.
Yes,.
F
F
H
G
A
A
The
record
reflect
that
we
have
a
quorum
calls.
We
have
one
amendments
the
agenda
for
this
morning,
a
copy
of
which
is
at
your
desks.
This
is
adding
a
new
introduction
of
the
subject
matter
to
be
referred
for
a
public
hearing
at
a
meeting
of
the
elections
and
rules
committee.
Are
there
any
other
agenda
agenda
amendments.
A
A
A
A
B
You,
madam
chair
we've,
heard
several
department
budget
presentations,
this
past
cycle
in
our
Budget
Committee.
The
one
that
we're
bringing
forward
to
Council
today
is
a
staff
direction
from
Council
members,
schraeder
directing
the
CFO
to
work
with
CPD
and
delivery
report
to
the
Housing
Committee
on
October
24th
detailing
detailing
the
exploration
of
dedicated
sources
of
funding
for
affordable
housing.
This
trust,
fund,
myself
or
councilmember
Schrader
would
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
and
I
want
to
move.
That
item
officially
are.
A
There
any
questions
or
comments
on
the
budget
agenda
I
do
have
one
comment:
I
was
just
checking
my
email
staff
yesterday
and
I'm,
not
sure
that
I'm
seeing
a
response,
but
I
I
am
becoming
concerned
about
the
timelines
that
we
are
putting
on
our
staff
directions,
and
so
I
just
want
to
note
that,
with
such
a
very
short
timeline
from
the
staff
direction,
we
are
unlikely
to
get.
You
know
significant
work
or
new
ideas
coming
from
staff.
A
It
was
just
you
know,
few
weeks
time,
and
so
we
may
be
getting
just
like
a
more
brief
update
from
them
and
then
I
think
the
idea
of
looking
for
sustainable
funding
for
affordable
housing,
particularly
the
trust
fund,
is
very
supported
by
the
council,
but
would
likely
take
more
time
than
this
particular
section.
I
see
customers
reader.
Oh
that's.
I
A
great
point:
I
concur
100%,
but
I.
What
I
would
add
is
that
this
has
been
studied
quite
extensively.
There's
been
work
by
council
work
by
the
mayor's
office
work
by
advocates
for
four
decades,
so
I
think
you're
is
an
accurate
assessment.
With
that
timeline,
we
will
give
me
hearing
a
lot
of
the
ideas
that
have
already
been
proposed.
I
A
You
and
all
those
note
you
know
with
the
sort
of
crisis
a
time
line
that
we've
created
for
our
staff
regarding
the
encampment,
is
putting
a
lot
of
pressure
on
the
same
staff
that
are
doing
all
these
other
work.
So
I
just
want
to
continue
to
just
say
that
out
loud.
So
we
are
mindful
of
the
amount
of
time
we're
asking
our
staff
to
put
in
which
I
think
right
now
is
well
more
than
even
their
normal
amount
of
over
full
time.
Commitment
with
that
is
there
any
discussion
further
on
the
budget
committee
report.
B
A
J
Madam
president,
the
economic
development
and
regulatory
Services
Committee
is
bringing
forward
16
items
for
approval.
You'll
note
that
there
are
a
hundred
and
seventeen
business
license.
Applications
would
take
up
multiple
pages
in
this
report
and
we
are
working
towards
trying
to
correct
that
in
a
coalition
between
licensing
and
the
clerk's
office.
But
item
number
one
items
number
one:
two,
three,
four:
five:

individual

needed
public

Are
the
liquor

I'll?
J
Note
there's
a
hundred
and
seventeen
of
those,
then
there'll
be
the
business
license
approvals
and
the
business
license.
Renewals
business
license
operating

13
items,

The

117
renewals
I
am
moving

delete
the
application

Union
liquor
store
at
32
19
Penn
Avenue
North,
due
to
a
number
of
issues,
we're
still
trying
to
work
out.
A
G
A
A
H
You
very
much
president

the
housing
policy
and
development
committees
bringing
four

The

is
a
land

fund
loan
of
up
to
six
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
for
the
West
Broadway
West
building
project
West
Broadway
I
will
move
all
items
forward
for
approval.
A
G
B
A
E
K
Righty,
so
the
public
safety
and
emergency
management
committee
is
bringing
four
items
forward
for
the
council
to
consider
for
approval
number
one
is
a
cooperative
agreement
between
the
Minneapolis,
Police
Department
and
other
law
enforcement
agencies
for
law
enforcement
services
for
the
2019
final
four
events.
Item
number
2
is
a
Hennepin
County
multi-jurisdictional
Hazard
Mitigation
plan
item
number
three
is
a
grant
from
the
state
of
Minnesota
the
4th
Judicial
District
Court
for
police
liaison
and
DWI
defendant
monitoring
services.
A
K
A
H
You
very
much
the
public
health
environment
and
civil
rights
and
Community
Engagement
committees
bringing
forward
five
items
today.
The
first
is
a
acceptance
of
a
grant
from
Minneapolis
Public
Schools
for
the
urban
Scholars
Program.
Second,
is
an
agreement
authorizing
an
agreement
with
Centers
for
Disease,
Control
and
Prevention
to
host
a
public
health
associates
in
our
Health
Department.
The
third
is
accepting
a
grant
from
the
Minnesota
Pollution
Control
Agency
for
$50,000
to
help
with
environmental
services.
H
A
L
Suppose
African
Americans
at
the
encampment
and
creating
disruption
it.
The
comments
that
I
have
seen
suggests
that
there
is
some
division
and
and
the
sort
of
delivery
of
services
and
support
and
care,
and-
and
it's
concerning
to
me
and
I,
feel
like
we
need
to
have
some
better
controls
on
how
we
are
using
taxpayer
dollars.
A
A
Expressing
some
past
work
that
they
have
done
with
this
contractor,
as
well
as
a
plan
to
continue
those
communications
about
online
activity.
I
do
think
it
is
probably
a
good
time
to
work
together
with
staff
to
review
our
policies
about
how
we
you
know
how
what
kind
of
agreements
we
have
in
place
with
contracting
organizations
to
make
sure
that
the
values
that
the
council
vice-president
reflected,
are
adhered
to
with
contracts
with
organizations
that
the
city
is
funding.
I,
don't
know
if
there
are
any
other
comments
or
ideas.
M
M
There
were
some
indigenous
organizers
who
are
doing
great
work,
but
then,
who
were
saying
negative
things
about
black
people
online,
saying
making
broad
generalizations
about
black
men
specifically
and-
and
while
you
know,
I
I-
think
that
some
of
the
organizers
and
some
activists
who
are
who
are
involved
in
in
in
homelessness
advocacy,
who
are
black,
have
sort
of
I
think
been
in
conversation
about
how
to
resolve
that
issue
and
I'm
happy
for
that,
but
I
also
just
want
to
so
I.
Don't
want
to
hold
up
this
this
this.
M

notices
seeing
none,
those
notices
are
given
and
no
further
action
is
required.
Next,
on
the
agenda
is
the
introduction
and
referral
calendar.
A
The
first
person
to
notice
is
a
motion
by
councilmembers,
Fletcher
and
Cunningham
to
give
first

to
and
referral
to,
the
public

and
emergency

committee,
the

matter
of
an

the
powers
and
duties
of
the
fire
chief
and
related
department
activities.
Second,
pursuant

councilmember
Wright
gives
moves

A
Matters

of
liquor,
wine
and
beer
licenses.
This
item
was
not
previously
noticed,

so
it
would

This
is
a

The
next
order
of
business
is

and
we
have

A
The

A
Please

no
and
that
carries
both

those
resolutions
are

and
next
we
have
under
the
order
of
motions,
a
motion
from
Council
member
Gordon
to
discharge
the
housing
policy
and
development
from
further
consideration
of
an
ordinance
related
to
the
advance
notice
requirements
on
the
sale
of
multifamily
rental
dwellings
to
refer
the
subject
matter
to
the
economic
development
regulatory
services
committee
in
the
next
cycle.
Are
there
any
questions
from
Council
members,
councilmember,
Goodman,
Madam.
J
President
I
just
wanted
to
note
that
the
economic
development
and
regulatory
Services
Committee
is
taking
up
this
issue
of
advance
notice.
Our
staff
and
community
work
is
complete
and
we
are
taking
this
issue
up
for
a
public
hearing
on
the
23rd
of
the
month
and
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
folks
know
this
is
not
discharging
because
we're
not
doing
it's
discharging
to
move
forward
and
I'll
also
note
to
be
fair
that
a
large
body
of
work
with
regard
to
contact
on-premise
is
also
coming
through
for
public
hearing.
A
B
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
wanted
to
let
you
know
that,
since
the
last
meeting
council
vice
president
Jenkins
and
I
have
met
with
HR,
we
have
before
you,
the
stapled
packet
and
I.
Think
that
we've
cleared
up
any
misunderstandings
and
such
in
this
policy
before
you
is
a
substitute,
are
CA
that
we
would
like
to
sub
in,
for
the
previous
are
CA
and
on
the
very
front
page
you'll
see
that
we'd
like
to
move
to
amend
that
paid
parental
leave
policy
as
follows.
B
Instead
of
to
remove
to
move
eligibility
criteria
into
the
paid
parental
leave
procedures
which
are
attached
and
for
your
review,
we
have
with
us
today
Kate
ecology
and
ELISA
Alecia
Prince
in
case
there
are
any
questions
on
this
ordinance.
Essentially
what
our
intention
was
behind
this
ordinance
and
what
we
are
comfortable
saying
before
you
that
we've
achieved
today
is
to
simply
increase
the
amount
of
time
that
people
can
take
the
existing
three
weeks
of
paid
parental
leave
for
city
employees.
B
H
Just
want
to
thank
you
for
say
taking
some
time
in
cleaning
this
up
there.
When
this
came
to
executive
committee.
I
highlighted
this
possible
concern
about
domestic
partnerships,
I
think
there's.
It
might
not
be
the
right
time
to
just
rip
it
out
of
this
and
moving
these
eligibility
requirements
into
the
procedures
and
makes
a
lot
of
sense.
So
we
make
sure
we
aren't
going
to
have
any
unintended
consequences
so
appreciate
that.
H
I
B
A
Q
A
Carries
and
that
is
adopted,
and
now
we
have
the
item
added
to
our
agenda,
which
would
be
under
new
business.
This
is
new
business
item
number
one
and
it's
a
motion
by
councilmember
Palmas.
Excuse
me:
captain
Bersani,
who
moved
to
amend
the
agenda
and
to
include,
under
the
order
of
new
business,
emotion,
declaring
a
state
of
emergency
existing
in
a
homeless
encampment
located
in
the
vicinity
of
Franklin
in
Hiawatha,
and
we
have
a
motion
with
some
more
detail
about
particularly
related
to.
P
I'll
speak
through
a
little
bit.
Basically,
we
we've
all
been
through
the
process
of
relocating
the
encampment
or
creating
a
net
net
net
in
the
navigation
center,
and
if
we
follow
the
normal
C
procedures,
gonna
take
us
months
to
get
everything
done.
So
that's
why
the
staff
has
recommended
to
make
this
motion
in
order
to
expedite
all
our
activities
and
make
sure
that
we
get
the
navigation
Center
set
up
and
running
before
we
enter
winter.
So
that's
the
theory
behind
it
and
we
can
call
staff
to
give
us
further
details.
Thank.
H
H
It's
gonna
take
some
some
extreme
measures
that
are
outside
the
normal
scope
of
things
and
I
have
been
on
the
council
for
a
while
and
I
have
seen
us
declare
states
of
emergency
when
we
had
a
big
storm
in
south
Minneapolis
that
knocked
down
a
lot
of
trees,
and
we
declared
something
about
that
so
that
we
could
be
flexible
and
as
using
it
as
a
tool
so
that
we
could
help
address
those
needs.
There
was
a
tornado.
There
was
a
bridge
collapse
and
there's
other
things.
H
H
I
think
we
also
need
to
probably
engage
with
the
mayor
and
with
our
staff
and
talk
about
declaring
a
state
of
emergency
through
the
normal
process,
which
we
do
so
so
that
we
can
address
the
other
things
that
we're
thinking
of
doing,
which
may
bump
up
against
building
codes
and
and
and
other
obstacles
in
the
way,
but
which
is
exactly
why
the
state
has
crafted
some
laws
about
declaring
states
of
emergency
for
what
we
can
deal
with.
So
I
think
this
is
a
legitimate
step.
H
L
You,
madam
chair
I,
certainly
recognize
the
urgency
of
this
situation.
I'm
curious.
If
we
can
have
staff
or
city
attorney,
explain
as
I
was
not
had
not
been
on
the
council
on
a
declaration
emergency,
a
situation,
what
that
means
and
what
are
the
ramifications
and
actions
that
can
be
taken
over
and
beyond
what
the
situation
that
we're
dealing
with
at
the
encampment.
Yes,.
A
N
This
motion
would
authorize
city
staff
to
shorten
the
procurement
and
bidding
requirements
in
order
to
be
able
to
prepare
the
Red
Lake
nation
site
for
demolition
and
in
order,
my
understanding
is
a
in
order
to
procure
the
trailers
it.
It
would
not
allow
the
city
to
issue
declarations
of
martial
law
or
or
go
beyond
that,
so
this
would
be
under
Minnesota
statutes,
section
twelve
point:
three:
seven,
which
is
fairly
narrow
in
scope.
L
A
K
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
I
appreciate
customer
sama
bringing
this
forward
today
and
the
topic
of
declaring
and
an
emergency
has
not
been
new,
because
previously,
when
we
were
working
with
mud,
there
was
a
conversation
about
requesting
FEMA
trailers
and
in
order
to
request
FEMA
trailers,
a
request
that
would
come
from
the
tribes
that
there
would
have
to
be
some
kind
of
declaration
from
the
city.
K
I
think
on
this
topic
and
I
appreciate
all
of
us
being
able
to
kind
of
come
together
and
and
team
up
and
a
sort
of
tag,
team,
I,
guess
the
conversation,
because
I
think
there
are
so
many
different
needs
here.
So
Thank
You
councilmember
where's
on
my
for
bringing
this
forward
and
I'll
be
supporting
this
today.
Thank.
A
A
I
still
haven't
heard
from
anyone
with
expertise
in
housing,
people
who
are
unsheltered
that
that
is
a
recommended
strategy,
or
why
that
strategy
is
recommended
other
than
we
can't
find
anything
else.
So
I
just
and
we
don't
have
a
timeline
with
any
detail
to
it
or
I.
Have
all
this
a
little
bit
of
a
sketched
out
budget
but
I?
Just
and
I
know
that
staff
has
been
asked
to
do
this
work.
R
Madam
President
and
council
members,
David
Frank
from
CPD
here
with
my
colleague,
Chuck
Lots
who's,
been
doing
a
lot
of
this
work
council.
President
to
your
question,
what
we
have
been
working
on
is
a
budget
which
I
will
describe
for
you
and
your
colleagues
right
now,
and
our
intention
is
to
be
at
the
Ways
and
Means
Committee
in
this
coming
cycle
on
the
16th
for
a
fuller
report
on
the
budget
and
the
timeline
and
asking
to
encumber,
allocate
the
beginnings
of
this
potential
city
expenditures
for
this
project
so
ways
and
means
this
coming
cycle.
R
The
reason
that
this
motion
by
councilmember
were
sámi
today
is
necessary
is
because,
in
order
to
hit
the
timeline
which
we
described
to
you
in
some
of
our
recent
meetings
of
having
the
navigation
Center
ready
by
early
December,
we
need
to
work
outside
of
the
box
in
terms
of
our
regular
procurement
processes
which,
if
we
followed,
would
certainly
not
allow
for
hitting
that
schedule.
So
we're
asking
you
to
take
the
recommendation
is
that
you
take
this
motion
this
step
today,
so
that
we
can
keep
the
work
going
and
get
ready
to
execute
contracts.
R
Should
you
say
yes
with
the
work
that
we
are
bringing
forward
to
Ways
and
Means
this
coming
cycle,
so
that
again,
the
order
here,
I
understand
is
a
little
unusual,
but
we
feel
like
that's.
What
you've
asked
us
to
do
to
hit
a
very
aggressive
schedule
and
have
the
navigation
Center
ready
by
early
December,
and
in
order
to
do
that,
knowing
that
we
don't
have
to
follow
the
typical
procurement
rules
is
something
that
we
need
to
know
now.
R
So
if
we
need
to
that
will
take
much
longer
and
early
December
won't
be
possible,
so
on
the
presumption
that
you
want
us
to
hit
that
schedule.
That's
what
this
motion
is
about.
Council
president
to
your
question,
the
budget
and
that
we
have
worked
out
so
far
for
the
city,
costs
and
I
will
just
characterize
these,
as
distinct
from
the
Red
Lake
nation,
affordable
housing
project.
So
we
have
pulled
those
apart.
The
demolition
which
would
have
happened
anyway,
the
environmental
work
in
the
building's
before
they're
demolished,
which
would
have
happen
anyway.
R
Those
are
housing,
project
costs
and
are
not
included,
and
what
I'm
about
to
describe?
Well,
we've
done,
and
the
Red
Lake
nation
and
their
team
have
done
great
work
with
grant
funders
so
that
the
environmental
work
and
the
demo
work,
which
was
to
be
funded,
will
be
funded
by
those
those
grant
sources
and
under
we've
we
think
we
have
those
in
hand.
So
the
city
costs
we're
not
asking
you
to
approve
today
fuller
description
and
ways.
It
means
the
city
costs
we
expect
to
be
in
the
range
of
one
and
a
half
million
dollars.
R
That
does
not
include
the
costs
to
operate
the
site
and
provide
the
services.
The
navigation
services
we've
described,
and
it's
also
worth
noting
that
were
not
yet
positive.
Who
that
operator
will
be
so.
The
costs
for
that
are
not
included
the
one
and
a
half
million
that
I'm
describing
now
our
city
costs,
for
what
I
will
loosely
call
the
capital
to
set
up
the
site?
R
Do
the
property
management
of
it,
but
not
the
navigation
services
by
an
operator
and
then
to
remove
the
trailers
from
the
site
by
the
end
of
May,
when
Red
Lake
nation
needs
the
site
cleared
under
our
under
working
understanding
with
them,
so
their
housing
project
can
get
started
so
I'll
I'll
pause
there.
So
it
responds
to
your
question.
That's
why
the
timing
that
we're
asking
for
the
procurement
exception,
if
you
will
now,
is
so
important
and
that's
our
working
understanding
of
what
the
budget
is
with
much
more
information
at
ways
and
means
this
coming
cycle.
R
R
Madam
president,
hi,
yes,
the
the
what
we
are
working
on
is
trailers
because
of
the
environmental
condition
of
the
property
and
that
it
can't
be
remediated
on
the
timeline
to
have
the
navigation
Center
open
in
early
December.
It
will
happen
before
the
housing
project
happens,
but
it
can't
happen
and
still
hit
the
navigation,
Center
timeline.
The
buildings
will
be
remediated
and
then
torn
down,
and
then
the
site
will
be
used
with
trailers,
because
there
will
still
be
environmental
contamination
underground.
R
Trailers
are
necessary
because
they're
about
a
foot
in
the
air
with
air
space,
underneath
that
can
have
a
fan
to
keep
to
keep
the
air
moving
and
that's
a
necessary
thing,
given
that
the
site
will
still
have
underground
environmental
issues
at
the
time
that
it's
used
for
the
navigation.
Central
thank.
N
Would
allow
the
city
to
exercise
powers
to
respond
without
what
is
referred
to
in
the
statute
as
time-consuming
procedures
and
formalities
prescribed
by
law
pertaining
to
the
performance
of
public
work,
entering
into
contracts,
incurring
of
obligations,
employment
of
temporary
workers,
rental
of
equipment,
purchase
of
supplies
and
materials,
limitations
upon
tax
levies
and
the
appropriation
and
expenditure
of
public
funds,
for
example,
including,
but
not
limited
to
publication
of
ordinances
and
resolutions.
Publication
of
call
for
bids
provisions
of
civil
service
laws
and
rules,
provisions
relating
to
low
bids
and
requirements
for
budgets.
N
So
it
would
allow
the
short
circuiting
of
notice
and
time
requirements
for
clarity
sake.
You
could
add
to
this
motion
that
any
expenditure
of
funds
or
appropriation
of
funds
that
you
would
want
that
to
be
brought
before
Council,
except,
as
you
know,
is
allowed
now
under
a
current
structure
in
a
non-emergency
setting.
A
With
such
little
information,
I
mean
I'm
getting
an
email
this
morning.
That
says
that
the
group
of
people
who
is
meeting
twice
a
week
is
just
now
identifying
a
project
manager,
and
it
just
seems
to
me
that
there's
a
lot
of
work
to
do
to
bring
together
the
stakeholders,
particularly
those
who
are
working
most
closely
with
people
who
are
living
at
the
encampment
today,
to
understand
that
this
large
investment
of
funds
is
going
to
get
us
something
that
people
actually
want
to
live
in
and
is
actually
helping
solve.
A
H
Thank
you
very
much
and
I
certainly
appreciate
the
concerns
of
the
council
president
and
I'm
glad
that
we
have
people
who
are
looking
at
the
processes
I'm.
My
understanding
and
staff
I
think
also
articulated
that
expenditures
will
be
coming
back
to
the
Ways
and
Means
Committee
that
we
be
crafting
a
budget
and
we'd
be
moving
forward
on
those
and
I
certainly
support
those
and
I
think
if
there
was
a
written
amendment
saying
that
you
know
before
our
expenditures
are
made,
they
will
be
reviewed
by
the
council
through
our
normal
processes.
For
us
to
consider.
H
I
could
see
adding
that
to
this.
It's
clearly
my
understanding,
I,
don't
know.
If
you
remember
the
last
time
we
met
and
talked
about
this
as
a
council
about
it,
but
we
heard
from
the
Red
Lake
nation
that
they
thought
they
could
move
quickly.
As
I
was
probably
making
a
speech
about
how
December
1st
is
way
too
late
and
it's
getting
cold
and
it's
getting
rainy
and
they
talked
about
how
they
thought
they
could.
Then
they
thought
the
main
obstacle
was
going
to
be
the
city
and
I.
H
Think
I
made
a
commitment
and
we
all
did
it
said.
Well,
we
don't
want
the
city
to
be
the
obstacle
necessarily
in
making
the
progress
and
I
think.
This
is
just
a
small,
modest
step
that
we
can
take
so
that
we
can
comply
with
state
law
and
move
forward,
starting
to
get
somebody
to
come
in
and
demolish
the
the
buildings
or
approve
that
activity
that
might
involve
the
expenditures
of
city
funds,
maybe
that
we've
even
procured
elsewhere
to
help
with
this
other
project.
H
That's
coming
I
mean
it's
a
complicated
issue
there,
but
we
already
have
money
set
aside
to
do
something
probably
approved
first
demo
through
this
portable
housing
project.
It's
going
to
be
coming
later,
so
I
don't
want
us
to.
They
say
the
only
thing
that's
going
to
delay
us
is
that
we
have
to
go
through
our
contracting
and
procurement
process,
necessarily
when
I
believe
the
residents
of
Minneapolis
would
think
that
it's
not
necessary
in
a
situation
like
this,
so
I'll
be
supporting
it.
H
But
I'm,
saying
I'll
support
another
amendment
and
I'm
happy
to
talk
a
full
seven
minutes
in
another.
Seven
later
it
takes
us
that
long
to
get
one
in
writing
before
us,
so
we
can
legitimately
vote
on
it.
But
I'm
sure
you
don't
want
me
to
do
that.
But
I
did
also
want
to
mention
that
I'm
concerned
that
this
statute,
maybe
isn't
going
to
go
far
enough.
H
So
I
want
us
to
be
ready
for
the
next
step
that
we
have
to
take
to
say
we
need
to
get
outside
some
rules
so
that
we
can,
if
even
if,
they're
long
houses
that
get
put
up
without
a
foundation
on
blocks
or
something
so
there's
a
fan
there
or
whatever
we
end
up
calling
them.
Although
clearly,
we've
all
been
hearing
about
the
trailers
as
the
way
to
get
there
and
I
think
we've
actually
also
got
people
engaged
in
figuring
out.
H
So
it
doesn't
happen
the
Friday
morning
before
the
council
meeting,
where
we
suddenly
realized
that
the
mayor
may
have
to
declare
something
else
or
we
might
have
to
pass
another
short-term
resolution.
So
I
I
know
the
key
people
are
hearing
me
now
and
let's
so,
let's
try
to
get
that
all
set
up
and
in
position
and
if
it
should
come
through
a
committee
first
or
something
like
that
or
if
the
mayor
and
should
meet
with
the
leadership
of
the
council
about
it.
H
I
I
Think
that
that's
I
feel
a
little
bit
better,
that
this
will
be
going
to
ways
a
means
so
that
this
is
very
clearly
not
a
blank
check
that
we're
still
debating
what
is
the
best
solution
and
finding
what's
the
most
economical
solution,
because
we
are
when
it
comes
down
to
it.
This
is
again
we're
trying
to
do
new
things
without
new
money.
We're
spending
a
lot
of
money
on
a
temporary
solution.
So
how
do
we
balance
that
with
the
people
that
have
had
need
for
four
years?
I
The
second
I
think
councilmember
Gordon's
right
to
put
out
the
the
next
emergency.
We
really
have
not
gotten
this
cleared
through
the
State
Building
Code.
It's
a
very
big
concern
of
mine,
of
how
these
temporary
shelters
are
going
to
meet
state
building
code.
How
we
will
be
able
to
to
go
forward
on
this,
so
I
just
want
to
bring
that
up
and
hope
and
kind
of
echo,
though
we'd
like
a
little
more
notice
to
be
able
to
dive
into
that
instead
of
having
it
be
a
kind
of
panic,
emergency
council.
D
You,
madam
president,
and
I
sure
the
concerns
that
were
brought
up,
I
think
my
question
for
staff
on
this
really
has
to
do
with
the
language
and
I
hope
I'm
not
getting
into
semantics
here.
But
homelessness
is
a
crisis
in
our
city.
It's
not
new
I
view
it
as
an
emergency
situation,
especially
with
winter
coming.
But
why
just
this
camp
then?
Why
just
this
encampment?
What
about
all
the
other
hundreds
of
people
across
our
city
that
are
dispersed,
and
why
is
it
not
a
citywide
emergency
then
to
take
care
of
those
individuals
as
well?
L
R
President
council
member
Johnson-
please
don't
read
anything
in
council
member-
were
Sammy's
motion
to
suggest
that
homelessness
is
not
an
emergency.
In
that
sense,
all
across
the
city
of
Minneapolis.
It
certainly
is
what
we
understand.
Councilmember
Sammy's
motion
to
accomplish
is
in
a
tailored
way
to
say
that,
as
we
work
to
address
this
part
of
that
issue,
the
encampment
and
the
creation
of
the
navigation
center
that
the
city's
procurement
rules
would
be
suspended
as
to
a
response
to
this
piece
of
the
homelessness
crisis
and
the
creation
of
the
navigation
Center.
R
So
not
encumbering
funds,
not
saying
that
this
is
our
solution
to
the
entirety
of
the
homelessness
issue
in
the
whole
city,
but
as
we
respond
to
this
part
of
it
to
the
encampments
and
the
creation
of
the
navigation
Center
that
the
procurement
rules
are
the
thing
we
would
work
outside
of
in
this
regard.
Okay,.
D
M
Just
want
to
echo
a
lot
of
the
concerns.
I
think
that
some
of
the
reasons
that
the
and
I
get
that
we're
moving
fast
and
I
get
that
you
know
we're
trying
to
be
responsive.
But
some
of
the
reasons
that
I
think
this
comes
off
as
like
panicky,
as
opposed
to
you
know
urgent,
is
because
council
members
are
learning
about
these
things
on
the
Dyess
last
minute.
Not
getting
calls
that
kind
of
thing.
M
In
my
short
time
in
office,
I've
had
to
deal
with
an
emergency
housing
situation
in
my
ward,
and
it
took
a
lot
of
sort
of
conversations
with
my
colleagues.
It
took
a
lot
of
interaction
with
the
mayor
and
I
would
say
that
in
this
instance,
and
and
we
got
to
a
point
where
everybody
felt
like
we
were
making
the
right
decision-
and
this
is
the
instance-
you
know
you
know
it's
like
we're-
making
being
asked
to
make
a
decision
kind
of
on
blind
faith
and
I'm,
certainly
not
averse
to
a
bit
of
risk.
M
But
you
know
this
does
feel
like
a
very
kind
of
jarring
way
to
be
communicated
with
and,
and
it
makes
it
really
difficult
to
know
whether
you're
making
sort
of
a
tough
decision
or
a
panicked
decision.
So
I
just
want
to
echo
that
concern
and
and
I
know
that
this
is
that
this
motion
is
coming
from.
My
colleague,
councilmember
Warsaw
me,
but
I
also
know
that
that
a
lot
of
this
has
been
conversations
with
the
mayor's
office
and
I
feel
a
little
bad
to
have
mr.
M
Frank
up
here
answering
questions
that
I
think,
possibly
maybe
some
of
the
mayor
staff
should
be
answering
and,
and
so
I'm
not
sure
I'm
gonna
have
to
you
know
in
the
next
few
minutes
here
decide
where
I'm
falling
on
this
and
I'm.
Just
still
not
quite
sure
also
I
do
want
to
highlight
that
and
I
think
this
has
kind
of
been
mentioned
by
a
few.
M
My
colleagues
already
that
the
the
current
circumstance
is
already
outside
of
the
law
right
and
we've
sort
of
softly
condoned
the
camp,
because
I
think
that
we've,
you
know
you
know
you
know
we
don't
want
to
be
in
there.
Evicting
people
right
and
so-
and
maybe
this
is
the
the
inner
graph
artists
in
me,
but
you
know
I'm
an
addict
to
it.
M
It's
like,
if
we're
already
breaking
the
law
anyway,
right
then
like,
then,
why
are
we
then
gonna
like
sort
of
cement
this
language
and
in
a
way,
what
we're
saying
is
giving
us
flexibility,
but
a
lot
of
us
are
are
still
up
here,
trying
to
determine
what
even
we're
looking
at.
So
you
know
I'm
sure
I
just
made
the
city
attorney
very
nervous
with
everything
as
I
said,.
L
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
So
I
guess
you
know,
I
have
some
some
questions
and
concerns
that
I
expressed
earlier
around
the
racism
or
anti
blackness
that
has
been
displayed
at
the
camp,
so
my
question
would
be:
who
can
be
there
if
this
is
taxpayers
dollars?
That's
supporting
this.
It
seems
like
every
resident
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis
should
have
access
to
this
facility
and
and
I'm
wondering
from
councillor
McConnell
there's
many
discussions
about
federal
assistance
or
FEMA
assistance.
N
Q
Councilmembers
Maria
Rivera
van
der
Meyde
city
coordinator,
to
the
best
of
my
recollection.
This
is
not
actual
a
declaration
of
emergency
that
might
trigger
some
potential
asks
to
FEMA.
This
does
not
qualify
for
that.
However,
we
are
employing
emergency
management
to
help
us,
as
they
do
with
other
crisis's
or
other
needs
to
see
if
there
are
trailers
or
if
there
are
other
things
in
our
arsenal
that
we
can
move
forward.
But
my
understanding
that
this
is
not,
in
fact,
a
an
actual
declaration
that
would
trigger
and
be
that
would
qualify
for
an
emergency
under
FEMA.
L
Q
Vice-President
Jenkins,
so
some
of
those
are
decisions
that
we're
continuing
to
determine
I'll
say
that
we
had
really
good
meetings.
We
have
twice
weekly
meetings
with
our
coalition,
which
now
includes
Red
Lake.
We
are
figuring
out
as
we
think
about
it.
What
does
that
look
like
in
terms
of
services
and
I'm,
really
pleased
to
say
that
we
have
just
received
as,
as
yesterday,
a
census
that
Red
Lake
commissioned
with
their
consultant
on
just
to
do
a
census
of
those
at
the
encampment?
There
are
currently
a
hundred
and
three
tenths
191
individuals
there.
Q
We
now
have,
for
the
first
time
a
really
accurate
breakdown
of
how
many
are
families,
how
many
are
fighting
with
a
certain
types
of
addiction
and
what
does
that
look
like,
so
that
will
help
us
map
out
what
programs
and
services
will
be
applicable
for
folks
and
then
therefore,
what
funding
streams
that
we
have
and
I
say
we
as
the
Royal
we,
the
coalition
of
the
state,
the
county,
the
tribe
mud
and
ourselves,
so
we're
in
that
process.
Now
we've
also
identified
how
many
families
and
children
there
are,
and
so
that
will.
Q
That
is
a
priority
for
the
county.
One
of
the
mechanisms
that
we're
doing
right
now
is
employing
those
very
same
outreach
folks
to
help
connect
those
services
that
we
may
have
to
particularly
prioritize
families
that
that's
move
forward.
But
the
goal
of
the
navigation
Center
is
to
temper
if
to
provide
a
temporary
space
for
any
of
the
residents
of
the
encampment.
Q
We
are
using
a
housing
first
model
which
has
a
low
barrier
housing
model
which
says
that,
quite
frankly,
while
you
cannot
use
you
cannot
actively
use
inside
the
trailer,
because
we
would
be
violating
a
variety
of
federal
laws
if
you
are
intoxicated
or
if
you
are
high,
that
is
still
a
place
for
you
to
come.
It
is
a
housing
first
model
that
is
employed
across
the
nation
and
it
is
low
barrier
housing.
That
is
what
we
need
right
now.
I.
A
Have
myself
and
cute
I
just
I
want
to
understand
from
staff?
If
we
add
these
additional
amendments
so
to
my
colleagues,
you
have
in
front
of
you
a
potential
amendment
that
would
incorporate
with
the
city
attorney
described
I.
Think
if
I
were
making
this
motion,
I
would
also
move
to
strike,
securing
and
securing
the
temporary
housing
in
order
to
be
able
to
support
anything
like
this
I.
Just
don't
have
enough
information
to
approve
to
staff
to
do
that
right
now,
but
I
wanted
to
understand
for
mr.
A
So
what
needs
to
happen
within
that
two
week,
time
period
and
if
we're
asking
you
to
come
back
before
you
spend
money,
maybe
then
we're
not
doing
this
after
all,
I
mean
perhaps
that
just
brings
us
back
to
the
normal
process,
which
you
would
come
to
ways
and
means,
and
then
we
would
approve
or
not
approve
proposals
that
would
come
through
the
council
meeting.
In
two
weeks,.
R
Madam
President,
you
mentioned
I-
think
about
three
things
there
I'd
like
to
respond
to.
If
that's
okay,
so
first
of
all
to
your
amendment,
the
one
that's
printed
on
the
page:
that's
not
it
I
shouldn't
say
it
this
way,
but
that's
not
at
all
an
issue.
This
was
our
intent.
We
will
be
at
ways
and
means
to
ask
for
funding
appropriation
and
enter
into
enter
into
a
specific
contract.
So
this
was
the
intent
having
it
here.
I
know
you're
not
asking,
but
that's
fine.
This
was
the
intent
you
you
mentioned.
Striking.
R
Securing
the
temporary
housing
I
would
say:
that's
a
big
part
of
the
reason
that
the
councilmember,
where
Sammy's
motion
is
important
right.
So
the
trailers
which
I
understand
is
something
that
the
council
has
expressed
concerns
about
some
of
you
there
that
there's
a
severe
shortage
of
trailers
because
of
hurricanes
and
other
issues
around
the
country
so
to
procure
those
and
have
them
here
in
time
for
the
early
December
timeline
to
have
the
navigation
Center
open.
R
We
need
to
know
now
and
that's
what
the
motion
is
about,
that
we
can
not
use
the
typical
procurement
process,
because
if
we
do
the
added
time
we'll
make
it
so
that
we
can't
hit
the
early
December
timeline.
So
I
strongly
suggest
that
one
of
the
key
reasons
for
the
council
to
pass
this
motion
should
you
choose
to
is
so
that
we
can
secure
the
temporary
housing
in
it.
In
a
little
time,
leeway
we're
trying
to
and.
S
At
the
same
time,
I
am
wondering
about.
Do
we
have
to
vote
on
this
today
and
if
you
are
coming
to
ways
and
means,
and
then
we
are
going
to
be
approving
that
budget
request
as
a
council,
is
there
any
consequence
to
us
approving
this?
Alongside
that,
I
mean
I
would
say
proceed
under
the
assumption
that
we're
going
to.
We
understand
that
you're
bringing
a
budget
proposal
two
ways
and
means
that
assumes
this
ability.
Can
we
pass
these
things
together?
S
Is
it
does
it
cost
us
something
to
table
this
to
next
cycle
so
that
we
have
a
little
bit
more
time
to
deliberate
and
make
sure
we
understand
it?
Make
sure
we
have
the
language
right,
given
that
we're
gonna
need
to
approve
the
expenditure
before
you
could
actually
make
use
of
this
provision
anyway,
met.
R
A
president
councilmember
Fletcher,
yes
there'd,
be
a
big
schedule.
Impact
is
the
short
answer
to
your
question,
so
we
need
to
know
now
because
one,
let
me
try
to
run
through
things
in
a
little
more
sensible
work.
Red
Lake
nation
has
selected
their
contractor
and
knowing
now
that
we
can
be
working
and
with
that
contractor
and
contracting
for
the
trailers
is
the
only
way
that
we
can
hit
that
first
week
of
December
timeline
right.
We
have
to
know
that
the
trailer
order
can
be
placed.
R
We
have
to
know
that
the
that
working
with
that
contractor
is
a
thing
that
can
happen,
and
we
wouldn't
know
that
with
enough
certainty
to
continue
to
do
it
in
good
faith.
If
you
said
we're,
gonna
would
probably
pass
this,
but
we'll
take
it
up
at
ways
and
means
next
cycle.
We
would
have
to
tell
that
contractor.
We're
not
sure
we'll
talk
to
you
in
two
weeks
and
so
the
supreme
mobilization
work
that
they've
been
doing
in
the
expectation
or
hope
that
we
would
be
able
to
work
together
and
that
you'd
give
us
this
permission.
R
S
R
Madam
president,
councilmember
Fletcher,
my
colleague
Chuck,
let's
who's
sitting
here
has
you
know
six
separate
groups
of
people
mobilizing
to
start
to
spend
money
only
once
ways
and
means
has
said,
and
the
council
have
said
that
you're
ready
for
us
to
do
that.
But
getting
ready
to
do
it
is
we're
sort
of
optimizing.
The
timeline.
R
If
we
don't
know
that
we
can
bypassed
the
standard
procurement
time
line
and
if
we
don't
know
that
we
can
work
with
just
that
one
contractor,
then
we'll
wait,
and
so
we'll
that
contractor
there
are
no
contracts
will
be
signed
between
now
and
a
cycle
from
now.
But
knowing
that
they
likely
can
be
is
enough
to
keep
the
contractor
going
as
well
as
the
trailer
providers,
as
well
as
the
other
architectural
groups
working
with
its
center.
S
R
Madam
president,
councilmember
Fletcher
I'm
I
understand
the
spirit
of
the
question.
I
would
say
in
my
opinion,
although
your
discussion
is
well
taken,
this
is
as
narrow
as
I'd
suggest
that
it
should
be,
including
with
the
council
president's
amendment.
If,
if
that's
your,
if
that's
your
choice,
thank.
A
N
President
bender,
yes,
you
could
have
it
the
effective
for
two
weeks
and
then
you
could
renew
it
at
that
time.
You
could
include
such
language
such
that
it
would
be
effective
until
the
next
council
meeting,
at
which
time
it
will
be
considered
for
renewal
I,
will
I
defer
to
the
clerk
on
the
wording
of
that.
Thank.
S
Guess
if,
if
I
can
jump,
the
queue
I
know
that
some
other
colleagues
are
in
here,
but
in
response
to
that
I
guess
I
am
curious.
Is
there
work
that's
being
held
up
on
the
demolition?
Are
we
just
talking
about
acquiring
the
trailers
and
that
needs
to
get
approved?
Is
there
work
that
gets
held
up
on
the
demolition
as
a
result
of
this
not
passing
today,
I'm
just
I
want
to
make
sure
I
understand
what
work
this
is
really
authorized
it.
Madam.
R
President
Cal's
Metra
Fletcher,
all
the
work
that
needs
to
happen
so
is
is
the
work.
That's
that
question
here
right.
We
have,
as
I
say,
half
a
dozen
different
groups
getting
revved
up
so
in
the
expectation
of
a
future
appropriation
which
will
be
before
you
not
right
now,
next
cycle
that
the
demolition
that
the
trailer
order,
that
the
architectural
work,
that
the
provision
of
fencing
and
lighting
and
the
other
things
that
we
can
just
choose
contractors
and
not
have
to
do
the
bidding
requirements.
R
So
it's
it's
all
of
it
and
and
if
I
may,
knowing
that
we
can
have
that
exemption
is
the
thing
that
saves
the
time
so
approving
two
weeks
worth
now
and
then
renewing
it
later.
That
doesn't
save
the
time.
Knowing
that
we
can
bypass
the
typical
procurement
procedures
is
the
thing
that
say
it's
the
time.
P
You,
madam
president,
and
thank
you
to
everyone
for
the
constructive
comments
and
the
amendment
that
you
made
the
council
president
as
well
I
think
it's
appropriate.
We
should
know
what
we're
paying
for
and
the
budget
and
everything,
but
in
order
to
push
back
against
some
comments
that
some
of
our
colleagues
made
one.
The
reason
why
I
made
this
motion
is
because
this
is
in
my
ward.
P
You
know
this
is
not
isn't
in
a
sixth
Ward
and
we've
housed
an
emergency
for
the
last
couple
of
months
and,
as
you
are
aware,
it
was
raining
last
night
it
was
raining
a
couple
of
days
ago
heavily.
We
had
torrential
rain
and
we
have
human
beings
living
in
flames
in
tents.
In
our
ward,
it's
a
public
health
hazard.
P
There
is
heroin
needles
everywhere,
it's
getting
colder
and
as
it
gets
colder,
there's
gonna
be
issues
with
our
without
neighbors
there's
gonna
be
issues
with
our
small
businesses
where
people
could
just
go
over
there
and
try
to
get
something
I
understand
all
the
issues,
but
for
us
this
is
an
emergency,
and
one
staff
came
up
with
this
language.
What
I'm
saying
is
it
just
makes
sense?
P
It's
very
simple:
we're
talking
about
here
we're
talking
about
procurement,
we're
talking
about
making
sure
that
our
zoning,
our
permits
and
our
laws
are
in
place
to
protect
the
city
of
Minneapolis
residents
that
we
can
override
them
in
order
to
get
this
navigation
Center
in
place
before
winter
comes
and
winter
is
coming
and
there's
already
been
deaths.
So
I
understand
my
colleagues,
you
know
taking
the
responsibility
and
making
sure
that
we're
fiscally
responsible,
but
we
have
to
be
responsible
to
the
people
that
live
in
this
in
this
tent,
and
we
have
talked
about
this.
P
Every
single
one
of
us
has
made
comments
along
the
lines
of
we
are
gonna
do
our
best.
We
are
gonna
go
above
and
beyond
in
order
to
make
sure
that
this
hardship
is
alleviated,
and
what
we
have
today
is
simple
language.
This
is
not
saying
that
we,
you
know,
gonna,
do
a
B
and
C
and
D
and
we're
gonna
pay
every
single
penny.
P
This
is
just
saying
that
to
take
the
first
step,
we
have
to
make
sure
that
we
overcome
some
of
the
hurdles
that
can
take
us
weeks
and
months
in
order
for
us
to
to
get
this
navigation
site.
So
you
know
I
would
love
my
colleagues
to
to
support
this
motion
and
to
make
sure
that
we
send
the
right
message,
because
we
have
the
media
here
as
well.
And
what
message
are
we
gonna
send
to
to
to
those
people
that
we
promised
we're
gonna
help
a
week
ago,
two
weeks
ago?
P
What
are
we
gonna
say
that
the
city
of
Minneapolis
council
hasn't
made
up
their
mind
that
the
city
of
Minneapolis
council
wants
a
couple
more
weeks
to
deliberate
that
we
can't
make
a
quick
decision.
You
know
that's
message:
we're
gonna
send
the
message:
we're
gonna
send
these.
You
know
our
own
internal
mechanisms
means
more
than
their
lives
means
more
than
their
warmth
means
more
than
the
promises
that
we
made.
C
T
P
I
thank
city
staff
and
I
understand
how
much
pressure
they're
under
because
they
have
to
come
up
with
this.
You
know
they
I,
don't
think
they
they
enjoying
being
in
front
of
us
and
answering
all
our
questions,
but
we
have
to
as
policymakers.
We
have
to
make
the
decision
and
we
have
to
make
this
first
decision
and
I
as
the
chair
ways.
That
means
I'm
delighted
that
all
the
in
a
monetary
mechanisms
are
gonna
come
through
our
committee
and
all
of
you
will
be
able
to
be
there
to
participate
in
that.
P
But
I
think
this
has
to
be
done
in
order
to
send
the
right
message,
which
is
we
are
doing
something
about
it:
we're
trying
to
get
everything
done
before
winter,
because,
god
forbid,
we
don't
get
this
done
and
and
then
people
are
injured
or
hurt
or
even
died
because
of
the
cold.
This
is
gonna,
be
on
us.
It's
gonna
be
on
this
council
that
has
made
so
much
promises
to
the
people
of
the
encampment.
Thank
you
very
much.
K
You,
madam
president,
I
agree
with
councilmember
Warsaw
me
that
the
original
motion
is
proposed.
Is
us
getting
ahead
of
the
problem
instead
of
responding
to
the
problem?
So
we
do
need
to
just
clearly
understand
that
the
language
here
before
us
does
not
write
a
blank
check
for
everyone,
does
not
bypass
any
council
authority
or
gives
the
mayor
the
entire
product
key
to
the
city.
K
T
President
bender
comes
Americano.
Thank
you.
Mark
ruff,
the
city
CFO,
this
healthy
opportunity
to
step
back,
and
you
know
on
any
state
of
emergency
and
its
uses
more
specific
example.
If
we
were
to
stand
up
the
Emergency
Operations
Center,
which
we're
not
proposing
to
do
but
into
saying
that
what
we
trained
for
is
even
there,
where
you
are
making
30
second
decisions
on
staff.
Our
procurement
staff
is
there
to
make
sure
that
there
are
not
other
alternatives.
You
know.
T
So,
if
they're,
using
one
supplier,
that
seems
twice
as
much
as
it
should
be,
our
procurement
staff
will
be
for
a
contract
is
signed.
We'll
push
back
so
certainly
know
that
there
are
mechanisms
in
place
that
we
already
follow
and
have
practiced
for
in
these
cases
that
just
don't
allow
si
ped
staff,
not
that
we
don't
trust
our
si
Pat's
death,
but
there
is
another
I
watching
the
expenditures.
Okay,
so
that's
an
overarching
framework
which
ties
into
I
think
comes
Marikana
or
your
specific
question,
which
is
how
do
we
make
progress
without
actually
committing
dollars?
T
I
think
I
would
submit
to
you.
We
do
this
on
a
regular
basis
based
on
direction
from
counsel
and
actions
from
counsel,
which
is,
we
need
an
indication
from
counsel
that
you
want
us
to
come
forward
with
a
comprehensive
plan,
and
some
of
that
comprehensive
plan
will
require
vendors
to
essentially
donate
their
time,
in
anticipation
of
at
least
a
reasonable
expectation
that
we
will
employ
them
and,
as
mr.
Frank
was
I.
Think
correctly
saying
is
without
a
reasonable
expectation.
T
Those
vendors
are
not
going
to
take
the
time
and
will
say
we
will
wait
until
the
City
Council
has
endorsed
at
least
the
direction
of
your
plan.
We
will
not
commit
contracts,
we
will
not
commit
expenditures
until
we
come
forward
to
you
with
a
comprehensive
plan.
If
the
council
wants
us
to
come
with
more
than
one
plan,
we
can
do
that.
T
Just
know
that
it'll
take
us
a
little
longer
to
come
with
two
plans
right
and
so
right
now,
our
understanding
of
the
direction
from
the
council
has
come
back
to
us
with
the
most
effective
and
efficient
plan
that
you
can
muster
in
a
short
period
of
time.
But
I
can
just
tell
you
that
our
staff
and
my
staff
is
the
procurement
staff
will
not
endorse
expenditures
until
you
as
a
council
has
approved
them,
and
you
were
clearly
saying
this
morning
that
you're
not
going
to
approve
expenditures
until
we
get
through
the
regular
process
and
I.
T
Think
that's
a
wise
move,
but
I
also
would
endorse
mr.
Frank's
caution
that,
without
at
least
an
indication
of
direction
and
an
indication
of
support,
then
we
will
have
to
be
working
three
or
four
plans
in
order
to
guess
what
your
direction
is
and
that
will
slow
the
process
down
so
I
think
that's.
The
best
I
can
do
in
terms
of
the
summary
and
I
think
from
an
accounting
and
procurement
for
perspective.
We
are
comfortable
with
the
council
presidents
amendment,
but
it
would
not
recommend
any
further
restriction
of
the
language.
K
You,
madam
president,
so
I
would
like
to
call
the
question
on
a
motion
to
vote
on
the
original
language.
Adding
council
president
Bender's
amended
language
about
the
begins,
provided,
however,
that
any
expenditure
or
appropriation
of
city
funds
shall
be
brought
before
the
City
Council,
except
to
the
extent
to
the
degree
that
the
same
is
structured
within
existing
city
policies,
delegating
expenditure
authority
to
the
various
departments
and
divisions
of
the
city
enterprise,
not
accepting
the
securing
the
temporary
housing
strikethrough.
A
G
Recalled,
madam
president,
to
clarify
what
I
heard
councilmember
kono
do
was
move
the
amendment
that's
in
front
of
you
and
call
the
question
on
that
amendment?
Okay,
so
that's
a
joint
motion
put
together.
We
need
a
two-thirds
vote
to
pass
the
closing
of
debate
and
vote,
so
we
need
eight
of
the
twelve
who
are
here
to
close
that
piece
and
then
move
to
vote
on
the
amendment
s
forward.
Okay,.
A
D
N
A
A
B
You,
madam
chair,
at
the
potential
to
be
overly
pedantic
I,
have
a
question
about
your
specific
amendment.
When
you
say
to
the
extent
to
the
degree
is
that
redundant,
do
we
just
want
to
pick
one
phrase
or
the
other
or
is
there
if
there
is
some
additional
meaning
behind
that
I
was
just
a
little
bit
confused
the.
A
City
attorney
drafted
this
language,
along
with
the
city
clerk,
so
I
could
support
of
them.
On
that
question
it
was
it
was.
The
question
from
customer
Palmisano
is,
is
the
phrase
to
the
extent
followed
by
the
phrase
to
the
degree,
a
typo
or
a
redundancy
that
could
be
removed
and
it's
a
miss
Siegel?
Oh
I'm,.
A
You
councillor
apanasana,
so
we'll
incorporate
that
I
think
into
the
motions,
as
we
move
forward
here,
I
put
myself
into
Q
I
support
the
idea
that
councilmember
Fletcher
raised
to
add
a
two
week
time
frame
to
this,
so
that
we
may
pause
and
understand
better
from
staff.
What
the
final
proposal
is.
I
just
want
to
be
clear
that
I
have
not
given
my
support
to
spending
1.5
million
dollars
on
trailers
surrounded
by
a
fence.
A
So
my
concern
is
that
by
taking
each
of
these
incremental
urgent
decisions,
we
are
giving
our
staff
the
impression
that
we
support
spending
that
much
money
on
that
particular
solution
with
no
operator
identified
and
I.
Don't
support
that
I
just
want
to
be
very
clear,
that's
my
position,
and
so
in
the
spirit
of
collaboration
and
trying
to
help
support
our
collective.
A
You
know
goal
here
of
helping
people
in
need.
I
think!
That's!
You
know
we
keep
being
putting
these
positions
to
make
bad
votes
with
no
information
and
I'm
frustrated
by
that
very
frustrated.
This
is
not
how
we
should
be
operating.
This
is
not
how
we
should
be
running
the
city
of
Minneapolis
I
could
support
this
with
more
confidence.
A
If
we
added
a
time
frame
that
gave
us
a
clear
signal
to
our
staff
to
pause
and
bring
us
an
actual
proposal,
so
we
can
consider
with
information
from
people
who
are
stakeholders
in
the
community
who
are
telling
us
who
can
give
us
their
feedback
on
on
a
specific
proposal
for
a
specific
amount
of
money
and
I
just
want
this
money
is
coming
out
of
affordable
housing
fund.
You
know
this
is
this:
is
money
that
would
be
going
to
helping
people
in
need?
A
M
Well,
I
first
wanted
to
clarify
that
I
had
not
noticed
that
I
missed
a
call
from
the
mayor
yesterday
and
so
I
wanted
to
acknowledge
that
he
did
call
and
leave
a
message.
I
missed
that
and
so
wanted
to
clarify
that
and
and
and
say
that
that
wasn't
intentional,
just
didn't
notice
what
I,
what
what
I
do
want
to
also
echo
is
that
when
I
mentioned
earlier
that
we
don't
exactly
know
we're
voting
on
I
think
it's
to
council
president
vendors
point
that
you
know
we're
voting
on
on
this
emergency
language.
M
But
are
we
also
sort
of
inadvertently
voting
on
this
trailers?
An
offense
option
right,
I
really
want
to
see
a
design
right.
I
really
want
to
know
that
we're
not
putting
people
in
sort
of
light,
something
that's
going
to
look
really
sort
of
like
horrible
and
not
feel
good
for
people
to
live
in
I.
Think
the
question
of
you
know
there's
the
question
of
moving
fast,
there's.
M
Also
the
question
of:
will
people
go
if
we're
kind
of
subjecting
them
to
these
trailers
with
a
fence
put
around
it
and
I
feel,
like
that's
kind
of
been
a
huge
question?
Mark
I've
heard
sort
of
different
things
about
well
the
designs,
not
final,
it
kind
of
is
final,
and
we
just
kind
of
have
no
idea
and
what
I
wanted.
M
What
I
want
to
make
sure
is
that
we're
not
putting
people
in
the
kind
of
conditions
that
they're,
avoiding
in
some
of
the
harsher
shelter
conditions
that
were
not
sort
of
signing
people
up
to
to
be
placed
in
the
exact
kind
of
conditions
that
they're
that
they're,
avoiding
with
the
shelters?
And
so
you
know,
I
get
that
that
we're
voting
on
the
language
in
front
of
us.
But
are
we
then
kind
of
inadvertently
to
voting
on
the
design
of
this
of
the
shelter?
And
that's
really
unclear
to
me?
M
So
that
is
why
I'm
still
sort
of
on
the
fence
about
whether
or
not
you
know
that
we
should
move
forward
in
this
way
and
I
would
love
to
be
able
to
to
talk
to
not
just
staff,
but
also
someone
who
has
had
to
you
know
were
we're
trying
to
be.
You
know
a
city
that
handles
the
encampments.
Well,
you
know
when
we
look
at
examples
around
the
nation
about
these
in
camp
encampments.
We've
seen
city
after
city
really
really
struggle
to
handle
them
well
and
I.
M
Think
we're
struggling
here
too,
but
I
think
that
we're
looking
to
get
it
the
most
right
and
are
we
putting
ourselves
in
a
position
to
get
it
the
most
right
you
know:
will
people
move
into
an
area
that
sort
of
looks
really
bleak
and
has
a
fence
around
it,
I
don't
know
and
and
by
voting
furthest?
Are
we
also
voting
on
the
on
the
design?
M
D
D
Yes,
I
think
they
have
some
that
I
heard
some
ideas
on
how
this
could
be
done
better
than
kind
of
the
direction
we're
going
in,
and
so
I'd
like
to
at
least
discuss
that
with
you
all,
and
so
hopefully
we
can
meet
today
about
that
and
I
just
have
a
kind
of
a
technical
clarification
or
confirmation
question
for
our
city
attorney.
Is
it
possible
to
do
this
with
a
resolution,
or
do
we
have
to
declare
a
state
of
emergency
specifically
existing
and
the
homeless
encampment?
D
H
K
K
I,
don't
know
that
we
have
other
options:
we're
not
going
to
be
able
to
build
a
building.
We're
not
going
to
be
able
to
put
up
some
kind
of
massive
dome,
there's
just
sort
of
a
continual
staff
presentation
on
this
effort
that
has
identified
the
trailers
as
the
most
quick
and
fast
way
to
provide
housing
for
the
folks
who
are
out
there
on
on
the
tents
and
I
would
just
hope
that
we
can
really
resolve
this
today
and
not
add
another
two
weeks.
K
K
Who
won't
be
able
to
escape
the
torrent
that
we
survived
this
earlier
this
week?
The
very
very
bizarre
heavy
rain
that
might
have
happened
on
Wednesday
or
Tuesday,
so
I'm
not
quite
sure
what
we're
looking
for
when
we're
saying.
Let's
take
another
week,
two
weeks
to
do
this,
we
have
our
top-notch
staff
here
who
have
been
looking
at
this
issue
for
the
last
couple
of
days
and
we
lean
on
their
expertise
many
times
to
help
us
make
decisions
and
I.
K
Support
might
be
where
it
is
a
place
where
we
could
troubleshoot
and
we
could
share
updates
and
it
could
be
a
public
meeting
and
it
can
have
it
out
in
the
neighborhood
and
everyone
that
wants
to
know
what's
going
on
can
show
up,
and
these
are
ideas
I
floated
by
our
city
coordinator
by
councilmember
Gordon,
where
there's
just
a
lot
of
information
flying
around
about
this
issue
and
I.
Think
people
are
just
kind
of
grabbing
at
it
when
it
come,
it
hits
their
desk.
K
Last
week,
I
had
a
report
about
that's.
How
are
we
addressing
it?
Hey
guess
what
there
was
a
third
death.
How
are
we
as
a
community
dealing
with
that?
How
are
we
addressing
it?
So
I
just
wanted
to
publically
put
that
out
there,
because
it
is
really
frustrating
to
hear
of
so
much
interest
and
how
this
conversation
moves
forward,
but
no
real
leadership
in
bringing
people
together
to
constructively
solve
this
conversation
instead
of
spending
45
minutes
here
debating
whether
or
not
we
should
take
action
on
this
item
to
expedite
the
support
that
the
camp
needs.
K
M
I
just
wanted
to
point
out
the
fact
that
you
know
you
know
I
asked
the
question
was
like:
are
we
inadvertently
voting
on
the
design?
And
then
you
know
my
colleagues,
which
I
don't
fault
you
for
cuz
I,
think
it
is
that
unclear
literally
just
consecutively
said
the
opposite
thing.
You
know,
council
member
board
said:
there's
no
design
we're
not
voting
on
that
council
member
kind
of
said
yeah.
M
Sort
of
gets
met
with
this
this.
This
notion
that
you
don't
care,
you
don't
want
to
move
fast
enough.
All
of
that
kind
of
stuff
and
I.
Don't
think
that
that's
what's
happening
at
all
I
think
that
we
don't
want
to
put
people
in
a
situation
that
were
really
really
going
to
be
regretting
come
winter
and
I.
Think
that
that's
a
possibility
here
and
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
acknowledge
that.
M
That's
that
that's
that's
what
I
just
heard
and
so
and
so
yeah
I'm
all
for
urgent
action
and
then
and
the
notion
that
you
know
any
suspicion
of
this
of
this
timeline
or
any
suspicion
of
this
state
of
emergency
is,
is
as
an
indication
of
a
lack
of
urgency.
I
just
think
that
I
think
I
think
that's
false.
A
Thank
you,
I
have
myself.
Thank
you.
I
want
to
move
to
amend
the
amended
motion
to
add
the
words
effective
until
October
19th
after
declaring
a
state
of
emergency.
That
would
give
us
the
two-week
time
frame
between
now
and
the
city
council
meeting
that
would
move
this
forward,
but
then
we
could
renew
a
state
of
emergency
if
desired
by
they
council
at
that
time,
and
then
I
also
just
wanted
to
make
a
comment
that
and
maybe
I
could
invite
staff
up
again.
I
feel
like
I've
asked
directly
many
times.
A
R
Madam
President,
as
I
tried,
probably
unsuccessfully,
to
say
to
councilmember
Fletcher
earlier
the
key
here
and
the
topic
of
this
motion
and
why
it's
important
is
so
that
we
and
the
contractor
contractors
that
we
are
working
with
know
that
the
bidding
provisions
don't
and
won't
apply
right.
So
with
respect,
if
you
choose
to
add
the
language
that
you
just
mentioned,
council
president,
they
won't
know
that
and
so
that
there
will
be
a
schedule
impact.
R
A
R
President,
the
I'll
try
try
again
try
to
use
different
words,
so
the
knowing
that
the
bidding
requirements
don't
apply
as
to
getting
trailers
as
to
working
with
the
Red
Lake
nations
contractor
working
with
the
architecture
and
engineering
firms
is
what
lets
us
hit
the
timeline
of
early
December
right
since
you
needing
to
renew
it
next
cycle,
wouldn't
be
us
knowing
that
we
would
have
to
act
like
well.
Maybe
bidding
is
going
to
apply
we're
not
like
I
guess
we
should
bid
it
now.
A
R
You
for
the
second
part
of
your
question,
so
as
to
the
for
just
to
recap,
as
to
the
first
part,
adding
an
expiration
date
or
a
needed
renewal
date
for
the
the
bidding
provisions.
The
procurement
provisions
doesn't
accomplish
the
schedule,
help
that
this
that
council
member,
where
Sammy's
motion
would
otherwise
accomplish
period
what
we
are
personally,
okay,
what
we
are
pursuing
to
answer
your
second
question
and
Madam
President
is
trailers
because
of
the
contaminated
nature
of
the
site
that
the
council
has
selected.
A
R
President,
this
lets
us
know
that
the
that
the
bidding
rules
would
not
apply
and
in
any
event
we
would
not
have
the
budget
Authority
or
the
contracting
ability
to
sign
contracts
for
trailers
and
other
things
until
after
Ways
and
Means
next
cycle.
I
hope.
You
also
hear
at
me
saying
that
the
the
the
kind
of
housing
that
we
are
pursuing
is
trailers.
Okay,.
A
Thank
you
and
I
just
to
clarify
I,
think
the
purpose
of
adding
this
two-week
time
frame
so
I've
actually
managed
government
contracts.
I
understand
that
that
the
idea
that
we
would
surprise
you
in
two
weeks
to
say,
oh
actually,
we
want
you
to
go
through
the
procurement
process,
doesn't
accomplish
your
goal,
but
I
think
that
what
I
heard
from
staff
this
morning,
privately
and
again
publicly
here
today,
was
that
you're
hearing
from
Council
that
we
want
you
to
just
move
forward
as
fast
as
possible.
A
No
matter
what
and
I'm
trying
to
clarify
that
that
is
not
my
intention
that
I
feel
very
uncomfortable
with
the
direction
we
are
moving
and
I
have
not
heard
from
any
experts.
I
think
a
lot
of
my
colleagues
have
not
had
the
opportunity
to
hear
from
whichever
project
manager
will
be
selected
by
the
group
and
we've
been
asking
for
this
to
be
clear.
Every
single
time
we've
talked
about
this,
it's
been
in
every
staff
direction,
myself
and
other
council
members
have
every
single
time.
We've
talked
about
this.
A
A
J
We
seem
to
be
flailing
due
to
a
lack
of
information,
I'm,
not
sure
where
that
information
is
being
kept,
but
it's
clearly
something
the
mayor's
office
knows
about
some
people
know
about
others
do
not!
That
is
causing
frustration.
I,
love,
councilmember,
Cano's,
point
an
idea
that
there
really
ought
to
be
a
work
team
made
up
of
council
members,
along
with
our
highest
level,
professional
staff
and
the
mayor's
office,
to
address
this
with
a
an
adult-sized
phone
tree
where
each
council
member,
then
is
assigned
others
to
bring
them
up
to
speed
on
the
issues.
J
This
is
not,
unlike
any
other
large
issue
that
we
have
faced
in
the
city,
and
we
are
flailing
due
to
a
lack
of
communication
and
holding
on
to
information
for
fear
of
criticism
when,
in
fact
it's
I
think
should
be
quite
the
opposite.
We
should
be
sharing
information
so
that
people
can
feel
comfortable
with
where
we're
at
a
good
example
of
this
would
be
this
trailer
scenario.
I'm
not
super
comfortable
with
trailers,
but
perhaps
the
County
and
others
who
work
on
this
issue
say:
trailers
are
what
is
needed
and
that's
the
only
option
to
date.
J
So
I
think
that
what
we,
the
best
thing
we
could
do
today
is
move
forward
with
what
has
been
suggested
with
a
commitment
to
this
afternoon,
put
together
a
work
team
made
up
of
leadership
staff,
the
mayor's
office
and
council
members,
who
will
then
work
to
answer
some
of
these
questions
and
share
that
information
in
real
time
with
everyone.
It's
too
hard
for
one
person
to
do
it
anyway.
J
So
it's
not
working
to
have
one
person
try
to
reach
everybody
via
text
and
cell
phone
calls,
and
that
kind
of
thing
in
the
middle
of
the
night.
So
I
think
that
we
shouldn't
be
hung
up
on
how
long
the
emergency
declaration
is
for
it's
clear.
The
emergency
declaration
is
being
put
into
place
in
order
to
work
around
some
onerous
procurement
issues.
J
But
what
is
more
clear
is
that
there
is
a
discomfort
with
the
direction
that
we're
moving
in
and
how
much
it's
going
to
cost,
because
there's
not
enough
information
to
make
an
informed
decision
about
whether
or
not
that
is
the
direction
we
should
go
in.
We
could
have
an
argument
about
how
much
money
we
should
spend
or
whether
or
not
people
should
be
in
trailers,
but
we
shouldn't
do
it
before
we
understand
what
all
the
options
are.
K
K
All
right,
I'm
hearing
that
I'm
hearing
that
we're
in
too
deep.
We
got
too
many
layers
going
on
right
now
to
this
conversation,
so
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
I'm
against
adding
any
kind
of
limit
to
this
I'd
be
happy
to
entertain
that
as
a
future
amendment.
Once
we
actually
make
the
commitment
to
address
this
in
a
expedient
way
and
codify
this
state
of
emergency,
which
many
people
in
the
community
believe
it
is
and
I
think
many
residents
and
voters
would
actually
welcome
that
signal
from
the
City
Council
I.
K
K
There
is
no
blank
check
before
us.
There
is
no
making
sure
that
all
the
money
is
spent
and
that
we
are
signing
a
1.5
million
dollar
agreement
with
anyone.
All
of
those
processes
and
procedures
would
still
be
in
place.
I
think
before
us
is
the
question
of
do
we
want
to
address
this
reality
now
or
do
we
want
to
kick
it
down?
The
road
for
two
weeks,
I,
don't
think
we
should
add
a
time
component
to
this
I
think
we
should
keep
that
off
the
table
and
stick
to
the
original
language
as
much
as
possible.
K
I
understand
that
there's
people
here
very
powerful
people
here
who
want
to
change
that
and
we'll
see
where
the
votes
lie
on
that,
but
just
because
I
know
this
is
publicly
broadcast.
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
my
position
was
clearly
stated
in
that
the
conversation
I
shared
about
the
designs
and
the
type
of
housing
that
would
be
available
by
December,
and
it
does
not
have
to
do
with
us
signing
up
to
that
right
now.
L
H
You,
council
president
I'll,
try
not
to
take
it
personally.
I
know
I
talk
a
lot
and
then
I
guess
it
has
some
reactions.
Sometimes
I
just
wanted
to
talk
in
opposition
to
the
timeline,
because
I
think
it
it
doesn't
accomplish
what
council,
member
or
Asami's
motion
was
intended
to
accomplish,
but
that
I
do
think
is
in
a
separate
motion.
S
Thank
You
president
bender
I
I
just
wanted
to
say,
because
I
think
this
idea
was
sort
of
attributed
to
me.
Cuz
I
did
ask
the
question,
but
I
think
I've
heard
staffs
answer
on
this
and
I
think
it
is
important
that
we
give
people
the
ability
to
come
up
with
plans
to
write
their
project
management
timelines
in
a
way
that
assumes
that
we're
not
to
require
a
bidding
process.
So
I'm
gonna
oppose
the
amendment
to
attitude
week.
Timeline
I,
think
the
questions
been
asked
and
I
think
it
was
important
for
it
to
be
asked.
S
But
I
appreciate
the
answer
and
and
the
response
and
I'll
echo
many
of
my
colleagues
sentiments
that
we
want
more
detail
and
and
that
obviously
we
want
to
be
engaged
in
this
and
I
think.
A
work
group
is
a
great
idea
and
I
think,
let's,
let's
keep
moving
forward
on
improving
our
process
and
making
sure
that
we
understand
how
things
are
moving
forward.
A
P
You,
madam
president,
I
think
we
should
go
back
to
a
council.
Remember
Gordon
said
which
is
basically.
We
could
still
have
this
state
of
emergency
and
have
a
review
and
I
know.
There
was
a
great
deal
of
frustration
that
we're
not
getting
a
lot
of
clarity
from
from
staff,
but
we
could
have
the
state
of
emergency
with
the
amendment
that
you
have
and
have
a
time
line.
P
Staff
direction,
just
like
councilmember
Gordon,
correctly
suggested
that
we
can
come
back
in
two
weeks
or
the
19th
of
October
to
get
more
clarity
with
with
regard
for
the
structure
with
regards
to
the
budget,
but
still
for
procurements
sake
to
have
this
emergency
still
in
place.
So
we
can
have
a
parallel
timeline.
A
G
B
J
Getty
vicinity
of
Franklin
and
Hiawatha
to
plan
and
take
appropriate
actions
to
consider
and
make
recommendations
as
appropriate
to
the
City
Council.
For
decision
making
and
I
would
also
like
to
add
to
my
motion
language
that
insists
that
the
county
participate
in
the
operations
of
any
such
shelter.
A
N
J
Recognize
that
we
have
asked
this
a
bunch
of
times,
but
we're
not
getting
any
action,
so
I
think
at
this
I.
Think
at
this
point
should
my
motion
prevail
to
create
a
work
group.
The
request
for
County
leadership,
staff
and
an
elected
official
would
be
an
official
request
from
us
rather
than
our
staff
asking
and
the
council
members
myself
included
quite
frankly
kind
of
gnashing
teeth
to
get
someone
to
listen
to
us.
A
H
Well,
I
I
appreciate
the
amendment
I
think
I
would
have
preferred
if
we
could
have
had
it
as
a
separate
action
and
it's
not
all
tied
up
and
the
other
action
that
I
thought
was
a
little
bit
cleaner.
So
that's
a
little
bit
confusing
I
also
want
to
at
least
know
know.
Did
the
housing
policy
and
development
committee
is
also
willing
and
ready
to
take
on
some
of
this
work
through
the
normal
processes?
H
I
think
if
there's
interest
in
creating
a
task
group,
it
makes
a
lot
of
sense,
but
there's
also
already
a
coalition
work
group
that
the
coordinators
offices
is
heading
up.
The
people
could
maybe
participate
in
or
it
could
be
expanded.
So
maybe
we'll
hear
back
later
based
on.
If
this
passes,
what
kind
of
framework
the
coordinator
thinks
should
go
into
the
work
group,
but
I
think
participation
in
that
might
also
be
helpful,
so
I
guess
I
won't
try
to
convince
it
not
to
be
stuck
in
as
an
amendment.
H
I
will
note,
though,
that
I
don't
have
anything
in
writing
for
this
amendment
and
I
think
the
rules
say
we're
supposed
to
have
our
amendments
in
writing
and
it
does
sound
a
little
bit
complicated.
So
it
would
be
nice
to
have
something
in
writing
to
understand
how
it
fits
in
with
the
other
two
paragraphs,
although
I
think
there's
still
McConnell
amendment
that
we
haven't
approved,
adding
it.
That
was
actually
what
bender
had
offered
as
a
substitute
so
I'd
happy
to.
H
A
G
Merely
going
to
offer,
madam
president,
so
that
there's
clarity
around
what's
pending
before
the
council
now
is
the
original
base
motion
moved
forward
by
councilmember.
Warsaw
me
that
still
stands
and
then
I
have
attempted
to
capture
what
councilmember
Goodman
offered,
which
would
supplement
that
I'll
read
it
to
make
sure
I've
captured
it
and,
if
that's
appropriate,
then
I
can
email
it
around
to
members.
So
it's
in
writing
in
front
of
you.
A
G
A
I
think
my
comment
was
to
maybe
underscore
something
that
councilmember
Goodman
said,
which
is
that
we
have
on
multiple
occasions,
asked
for
more
detail
and
more
commitment
from
our
funding
partners,
particularly
on
the
operation
side,
and
it
seems
to
not
be
coming
forward,
along
with
other
decisions
that
we
were
being
asked
to
make.
So
I
like
the
idea
of
being
clear
in
this
particular
motion
that
we
still
have
that
expectation
that
the
county
would
be
an
operating
partner
in
this
facility
that
the
council
is
approving.
A
A
For
decision
making,
the
city
will
formally
extend
an
invitation
to
Hennepin
County
to
invite
active
participation
from
elected
and
appointed
leadership
from
the
county
to
participate
in
the
working
group
to
provide
appropriate
support,
resources
and
leadership
as
necessary
and
appropriate.
I
would
note
I
think
the
intention
here
would
not
be
to
exclude
any
partners
that
our
staff
would
recommend,
including
from
the
table
of
partners.
That
I
know,
is
meeting
very
regularly
and
includes
state
and
community
partners,
as
well
as
the
Red
Lake
nation
that
owns
the
site.
A
J
You,
madam
president,
I
agree
with
you
and
your
comments.
This
is
not
to
take
power
away
from
the
Housing
Policy
Committee.
This
is
not
to
say
that
the
staff
work
team
is
not
working.
It's
to
delegate
one
place
where
the
city's
efforts
will
be
and
the
councilmembers
will
be
at
the
table
so
that
there
will
be
better
communication.
This
seems
to
me
overall
to
be
a
communication
problem
and
I.
J
Think
it's
a
communication
problem,
quite
frankly
with
the
county
too,
because
when
I
called
them
out
and
not
participating,
I
got
low
back,
like
nothing
I've
ever
seen
so
I
called
it
out.
I
got
yelled
at
I
that
now
I'm
trying
to
find
a
more
appropriate
way
to
invite
their
involvement
without
calling
them
out.
The
last
thing
I
want
to
note
is
I
believe
that
councilmember
Kahn
owes
amendment
was
something
that
councilmember
Brent
bender
brought
forward
and
I.
J
K
You,
madam
president,
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
I,
of
course,
I
appreciate
I,
appreciate
councilmember
Goodman's
motion
to
codify
some
of
the
sentiments
that
I
had
shared
here
today.
I
wasn't
sure
if
people
had
the
appetite
to
kind
of
tackle
that
right
now,
I
did
just
want
to
put
something
on
the
table
and
I,
I'm
and
I.
Don't
think
I'm
going
to
move
it
as
an
amendment
just
because
I
do
want
the
focus
to
stay
on
having
the
city
get
their
act
together
around
this.
K
While
we
try
to
figure
out
how
to
connect
with
community.
So
I
do
hope
that
you
know
once
this
workgroup
is
established,
that
we
can
figure
out
a
more
predictable
schedule
and
and
an
outward
facing
consistent
communications
mechanism
to
engage
and
receive
feedback
from
community
folks
about
the
decisions
that
are
being
made
by
their
local
government
and
hopefully
with
the
county
on
this
issue.
So
Thank
You,
councilmember,
Goodman,.
D
You,
madam
president,
this
is
a
question
for
the
clerk
with
how
this
is
structured
with
emotions
does
and
I
appreciate,
councilmember
Goodman's
intent
to
keep
this
Thunder
amendment
language
that
was
moved
by
councilmember
Cano.
Is
that
still?
Would
that
still
be
within
this
motion?
If
we
structured?
This
is
the
language
you
sent
was
an
addition
on
top
of
the
cano
motion,
because
I
know,
there's
also
this
notion
of
suspending
the
rules
at
one
point,
but
it
sounded
like
that
was
an
option
and
the
rules
weren't
suspended.
It
was
a
motion,
madam.
G
President,
for
sake
of
clarity,
if
this
is
the
council's
will,
I
have
just
sent
forward.
Another
revised
revised
motion,
which
has
the
base
motion
originally
brought
forward
by
a
council
member
saumui.
It
includes,
then
a
second
provision
noted
as
cano
amendment
that
leaves
that
in
and
another
one
that
is
the
Goodman
amendment,
so
that
there
would
be
two
provisos
added
as
amendments
to
the
warsaw
me
base
motion
and
that
entire
package
of
actions
or
directives
then,
would
be
in
front
of
the
council
now
for
consideration.
Thank.
D
A
You
so
with
that,
my
intention
would
be
to
call
the
roll
on
the
two
amendments
together,
one
by
councilmember
Arcana,
when
my
customer
Goodman
and
then
we
would
vote
on
that,
and
there
would
be
an
opportunity
for
any
council
member
to
comment
on
the
underlying
motion
as
amended.
If
anyone
chooses
does
anyone
have
any
comments
before
we
call
the
roll
on
the
two
amendments,
seeing
none
clerk,
please
call
the
roll
council.
J
J
A
A
Carries
on
those
two
amendments
are
adopted.
That
brings
us
back
to
the
underlying
motion
by
councilmember.
Warsaw
me,
which
is
the
declaration
of
this
state
of
emergency.
Is
there
any
further
discussion
on
that
motion?
I,
don't
see
any
more
I
did
put
myself
back
in
queue.
I
just
want
to
explain
that
part
of
my
reaction
today
was
a
comment
from
staff
that
all
they're
hearing
from
this.
A
The
City
Council
is
to
go
faster
and
faster
and
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
that
I
think
I
have
heard
many
council
members
say
something
different
than
that,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
were
all
on
the
same
page
about
the
pace
at
which
were
making
decisions.
The
communication
that
needs
to
happen
before
the
council
can
move
forward
with
the
final
decision
on
this,
and
we
that
we
have
not
been
getting
back.
A
The
information
that
we
have
requested
before
decisions
continue
to
be
made
and
I
hope
that
that
changes
in
the
future,
whether
that
information
is
coming
from
the
mayor's
office
or
from
community
partners
or
from
our
staff,
we
need
to
have
better
information
before
we
are
making
decisions
at
the
last
minute.
Again
and
again,
is
there
any
further
discussion
seeing
none
clerk?
Please
call
the
roll
and
customer
Asami's
motion,
as
amended
council.
