Involvement

Excuse
me
arrest
and
report
back
to
the
public
safety
and
emergency

Following
the

the

an
independent

of
the
study
and
process
will
be

to
examine
the

A
So
I
want
to
add
that
to
the
consent
agenda,
all
those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye.
Those
again
say
no
motion
passes.
So
now
we
have
eight
items
on
the
consent
agenda.
The
first
are
we
have
the
public
health
advisory
committee
appointment
of
Jerome
Evans
C
12
worked
well
for
two
year
term.
Number
two
is
a
contract
amendment
with
a
s
medical
solutions
for
school-based
clinics.
Pharmaceutical
services.
A
Three
is
a
grant
from
clearway
Minnesota
for
outreach
to
retailers.
So
that's
going
to
be
a
grant
of
twenty
five
thousand
dollars
to
conduct
outreach
to
link
Minneapolis
tobacco
retailers
to
business,
technical
assistance,
resources,
loans
and
other
resources
to
help
stores
adjust
to
potential
financial
implications
of
the
menthol
sales
restrictions
that
will
go

on
August.
1St
number.
Four
is
a
grant
application
to
the
Minnesota
Pollution
Control
Agency
for
the
environmental
assistance
grant
program.
A
That
is
some
exciting
new
work
because
it's
going
to
be
50,000
dollars
for
the
fiscal
year,
2019,
specifically
to
provide
reduction
in
the
use
of
toxic
chemical
exposure
or
chemical
toxins
and
the
usage
of
them
in
Minneapolis
nail
salon.
So
we've
seen
a
lot
of
really
great
work
with
the
becoming
the
first
perc
free
City
with
our
dry
cleaners,
and
now
we've
done
a
lot
of
work
with
auto
body
shops
and
now
we're
moving
into
nail
salons
as
well.
So
that's
really
exciting.
A
Number
five
is
we
have
a
grant
application
for
this
for
the
CDC
it
for
a
reach
grant.
This
is
a
huge
opportunity
that
I'm
very
excited
about
it's
up
to
the
amount
of
$900,000
annually
over
a
five
year
period
from
September
of
this
year
to
September
of
2023
and
the
focus
of
it
is
to
improve
health,
prevent
chronic
diseases
and
reduce
health
disparities
with
a
target
population
of
with
African
Americans,
East,
Africans
and
American
Indians
in
Minneapolis.
So
good
luck
to
the
health
department
in
that
pursuit
and
then

questions
council
vice
president
Jenkins.
B
Thank
You
chair,
Cunningham
I'm
just
curious
about
items
under
number
6,
7,
&
8,
so
it's
item,
number
6
and
then
within
that
7
and
8,
and
it
just
it
seems
like
there
are
two
contracts
to
provide
outreach
and
cleanup
and
services
along
Lake,
Street
and
I'm
wondering
are
those
in
the
same
areas?
Are
they
distinctly
different?
C
The
chair
vice
president
Jenkins,
yes,
they
are
along
the
lake
Street
Avenue
corridor.
They
are
four
different
projects
included
in
the
RCA
is
a
little
more
description
of
what
what
projects
they
are.
Someone
is
for
a
cleanup.
A
community
cleanup
adopt
a
block
is
one
of
them
we
mentioned,
and
then
the
other
one
is
for
street
outreach
with
the
natives
against
heroin
and
other
organizations
to
do
sweet
outreach
for
that
purpose.
C
C
D
D
I
applaud
you
for
bringing
this
forward
I
like
most
of
my
neighbors,
was
just
appalled
by
the
use
of
ketamine
by
our
officers
and
by
the
Hennepin,
County
and
I
think
that
this
is
a
great
first
step.
I'm
going
to
want
to
thank
you
for
bringing
this
forward
I
think
we
have
to
remember
as
elected
officials,
that
we
defend
people
the
city,
not
the
city
itself,
and
when
these
things
are
happening,
we
need
to
take
action
quickly.
I
think
this
gets
there
I.
Also.
D
A
A
I
think
the
word
was
used
and
I
have
worked
closely
now
at
the
OPC
R
and
the
P
COC
on
some
other
bodies
of
work
that
are
related
to
mine
and
so
I
strongly
support
the
integrity
of
the
civil
rights
department
and
the
office
of
police
conduct
review,
as
well
as
the
police
conduct.
Commission
oversight,
Commission
and
I
believe
that
this
so
the
study
that
was
released
was
incomplete
and
for
us
to
maintain
that
integrity.
A
We
need
to
make
sure
that
we
give
the
space
to
the
civil
rights
department
to
the
folks
who
have
been
tasked
by
ordinance
to
complete
this
study.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
give
them
the
space
to
be
able
to
do
so,
and
I
also
wanted
to
add
that
the
the
second
component
of
it
for
an
independent
audit
of
the
study
and
process
is
meant
to
increase
transparency.
There
are
a
lot
of
questions
that
have
come
up
and
so
again
to
hold
ourselves
accountable,
as
well
as
our
process
accountable.
A
This
is
not
a
reflection
of
the
faith
and
the
trust
that
I
have
in
our
city,
our
city
departments,
but
to
be
able
to
increase
transparency
that
citizens
and
residents
can
see
that
we
are
doing
our
due
diligence.
When
we
see
these
sort
of
issues
that
we
are
getting
to
the
bottom
of
it
and
being
as
thorough
as
possible,
councilmember
Ellison.
E
Yeah
I
wanted
to
stop
by
just
a
echo
support
of
the
motion.
You
know.
I
did
see
it
and
wondered
if
the
if
the
timeline
needed
to
be
extended
out
I'd
love
to
get
some
feedback
from
civil
rights
about
how
much
time
they
would
need
to
be
able
to
complete
the
report.
But,
aside
from
that,
I
want
to
fully
go
ahead
and
support
this.
You
know
there
are
two
questions
right,
there's
the
question
of
what
what
did
our
officers
do
right
and
we
as
a
city
need
to
be
held
accountable
for
that.
E
But
then
there's
the
other
part,
that's
equally
as
troubling
that
we
don't
have
purview
over,
and
that
is
the
county's
role
right
and
so
I
hope
that
the
county
will
step
up
and
figure
out
how
they're
going
to
hold
the
EMS
accountable
to
this
whole
ordeal,
but
but
I
certainly
want
to
make
sure
that
we,
as
the
city
are
holding
our
officers
accountable.
So
I
just
wanted
to
come
and
speak
and
support,
even
though
I'm
not
on
the
committee.
So.
A
F
F
I
know
in
speaking
with
our
civil
rights
director
and
staff
that
there
was
quite
a
lot
of
work
left
to
do
in
the
report,
and
so
I
had
understood
that
their
next
steps
were
to
engage
some
of
the
folks
that
were
you
know,
mentioned
in
the
study,
including
the
police
department
and
the
the
county
or
the
hospitals
that
are
supervising
the
health
workers
that
are
administering
these
drugs.
But
I
really
also
appreciate
that
civil
rights
took
this
on
and
the
work
that
they
have
done
so
far
and
look
forward
to
them
completing
their
work.
F
With
that
additional
information
that
they
need
to
complete
their
report,
I
did
have
one
question
about
the
staff
direction,
and
that
was
the
use
of
the
word
audit,
because
we,
you
know,
we
have
a
separate
audit
committee
and
that
that
term
is
something
that
has
a
legal
definition
within
our
Charter
or
wherever.
We've
established.
The
audit
committee
I
believe
it's
in
our
Charter
and
so
I
just
wasn't
sure
if
that
was
the
right
word.
F
Reports
I
think
that
very
slight
tweak
of
the
language
might
actually
you've
more
flexibility
in
getting
to
the
outcome
that
you're
intending
with
the
staff
direction.
So
that
was
just
an
observation.
Having
read
it
and
I
know
that
you
prepared
this
quickly
in
response
to
all
the
information
that
came
out
about
this
very
recently,
but
again,
very
supportive
of
making
sure
that
our
civil
rights
department
has
all
of
the
support
that
they
need
to
complete
this
work
and
also
looking
forward
to
learning
more
about
the
medical
side.
F
I
think
the
other
last
point
I
want
to
make
was
that,
as
others
have
said,
I
think
the
intention
of
this
report
by
our
Civil
Rights
Department,
was
to
look
at
the
behavior
of
our
Police
Department,
which
is
within
the
city's
purview.
I
know
that
kind
of
in
health
care
it
looks
like
has
already
requested
an
external
review
of
the
procedures
that
they
are
using.
I
think
we
all
need
to
learn
more
about
that,
but
our
Civil
Rights
Department
doesn't
have
you
know
a
jurisdiction
or
authority
over
Hennepin
health
and
I.
F
Don't
think
they
were
intending
to
suggest
that
they
did,
and
rather
the
intention
of
this
was
focused
on
the
behavior
of
our
police
department.
I
also
appreciate
the
speed
with
which
our
chief
responded
to
this
information
and
made
sure
that
he
communicated
with
our
officers
and
clarified
an
existing
policy
that
they
should
not
be
directing
any
kind
of
medical.
F
A
You,
madam
president,
point
is
very
well
taken
with
that
feedback.
I
actually
will
make
a
motion
to
amend
the
staff
direction.
Is
that,
okay
to
change
out
the
words,
the
phrase
independent
audit
and
replace
that
with
external
evaluation,
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye
aye,
all
those
against
a
no
that
passes?
Council
member
Johnson,
Thank.
G
You
mr.
chair
and
I
really
appreciate
that
change
in
the
deaths
in
there
I
think
when
I
read
the
story
or
the
report,
there
were
concerns
too
from
the
medical
community
around
this
original
draft
content
and
I.
Think,
frankly,
it's
something
that
a
light
has
been
shined.
We
want
to
get
to
the
bottom
of
it
and
really
figure
it
out.
A
You
councilmember
are
there
any
other
questions
or
comments,
though
one
thing
that
I
would
like
to
just
really
reiterate
to
colleagues
is
that
this
particular
study
as
the
this
particular
study
is
focused
on
officers
involvement.
So
we
may
see
down
the
road
of
further
conversations
about
the
medical
aspect
of
it
or
County's
role,
but
right
now
the
OPC
ours
jurisdiction
is
MPD's
behaviors
and
so
just
to
name
that
that
when
the
study
comes
before
the
council,
it's
going
to
have
a
primary
focus
on
just
MPD
officer
behavior.
So
all
right.
A
Well
with
all
of
that,
it's
I'm
seeing
no
further
questions.
Iram
move
approval
of
the
consent
agenda,
all
those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
aye,
those
opposed
say
no,
the
eyes
have
it.
Those
items
are
approved.
Thank
you
so
much
to
our
guests
here
today
and
also
wanted
to
mention
that
councilmember
Cano
is
out
of
town
today,
which
is
why
she
is
not
here
with
us
at
least
so.
We
have
two
very
exciting
discussion
items
that
I
have
been
very
excited
to
get
talking
about.
A
The
first
is
the
youth
violence
prevention,
executive
committee
presentation.
We
have
sasha
cotton,
the
youth
violence
prevention
coordinator,
who
will
be
giving
us
the
presentation.
Please
come
on
forward
before
we
get
started.
I
just
have
to
say
how
excited
I
am
you
all
have
been
doing
such
amazing
work
on
this,
and
this
is
a
huge
opportunity
for
us.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
all
your
work.
Thank.
H
H
All
right
so
we'll
get
started
just
to
give
a
little
bit
of
background.
This
is
coming
from
a
staff
directive
from
councillor
Gordon
in
regards
to
sort
of
tightening
up
and
reconfiguring
our
youth
violence
prevention
executive
committee.
There
had
been
a
sort
of
a
hiatus
in
the
convening
of
that
committee
and
I
wanted
to
think
through
how
we
can
best
serve.
H
The
Health
Department
in
our
adolescent,
youth
and
development
team
has
been
the
oversight
from
the
staff
providing
staffing
as
well
as
general,
day-to-day
operations
supporting
the
committee,
and
we
have
a
wide
range
of
skills.
So
I
really
wanted
to
touch
point
on
this,
because
I
think
it
really
segues
us
into
talking
about
broadening
the
scope.
A
little
bit.
H
The
other
thing
that
we
did
was
to
convene
a
cross-sectional
group
of
partners
to
talk
about
our
past
prevention
work
and
where
we
saw
the
work
going
in
the
future
and
that
consisted
of
stakeholders
within
the
city
enterprise,
as
well
as
community-based
organizations
and
folks
that
previously
served
on
the
youth
violence,
prevention,
Executive
Committee,
and
it
was
an
opportunity
for
everyone
to
sort
of
share.
What's
been
going
on
in
the
work.
What
has
been
effective?
H
H
With
that
fact
of
staff
directive,
we
convened
a
group
of
stakeholders
from
inside
the
city
that
was
made
up
of
mayor
staff
council
staff,
as
well
as
Health
Department
staff,
to
think
about
what
could
be
done,
what's
the
best
direction
for
us
to
move
in
and
coming
back
with
some
recommendations
about
what
we
can
do
so
currently.
These
are
some
of
the
projects
that
the
city's
health
department
manages
through
the
Adolescent
Health
and
development
work
primarily
by
the
youth
violence
prevention
staff.
It's
a
pretty
long
list.
So
next
up
is
our
Hospital
based
intervention
project.
H
That
right
now
is
that
HCMC
and
we'll
be
continuing
to
be
effective
at
North
Memorial
we're
going
to
be
expanding
the
scope
of
that
work.
The
group
violence
intervention
also
known
as
GBI
pop-up
park's,
inspiring
youth,
our
CDC
project,
which
is
working
primarily
on
the
North
Side,
to
address
both
teen
dating
violence
and
community
violence.
H
The
juvenile
supervision
center,
which
is
right
here
in
City
Hall,
and
providing
24-hour
services
for
young
people
with
low-level
crime,
domestic
violence
and
it's
special
projects
which
are
wonderful,
Nigel
handles
here,
but
really
has
a
great
purview
on
both
sexual
health
and
domestic
violence
and
has
been
working
tirelessly
across
the
enterprise.
On
that
our
blueprint
approved
Institute,
which
is
the
capacity-building
opportunity
for
small
agencies
who
want
to
develop
stronger
skill,
sets
to
work
with
young
people
or
work
around
sex
trafficking,
our
parent
support
and
our
youth
violence,
prevention,
Awareness,
Week
and
summer
activities.
H
H
So,
as
you
can
see,
the
first
time
gun
offender
program
and
the
domestic
violence
hotspot
work
as
well
as
a
little
Earth
VCG,
a
project
are
currently
in
the
City
Attorney's
office
and
if
anyone
has
questions
feel
free
to
chime
in
I'll
do
my
best
to
explain
any
of
these
projects.
Because
it's
a
lot
of
work
recast
on
the
coordinators
office,
the
promise
zone
has
a
Public
Safety
Committee,
my
brother's
keeper,
which
was
championed
by
our
own
councilmember
Cunningham,
and
the
clarity
of
safety
strategies
which
has
been
mentioned
here.
H
H
But,
as
you
can
see,
there's
a
ton
of
work
happening
across
the
enterprise
that
is
focused
on
violence,
prevention
and
Public,
Safety,
and
right
now,
these
systems
don't
have
an
organized
way
to
talk
to
one
another,
it's
sort
of
happening
by
chance,
and
we
believe
that
having
an
executive
committee
that
focused
on
violence
prevention
comprehensively
would
allow
us
to
continue
to
focus
on
young
people,
but
also
really
think
about
how
these
various
projects
that
we
have
both
promote
safety
for
young
people
and
our
thinking
across
the
age
span.
It's.
B
H
You
vice
president
Rincon's.
Yes,
we
think
that
there
is
a
possibility
that
the
ice
cream
could
be
involved
and
would
definitely
be
open
to
ways
that
we
could
partner
with
them.
The
I
team
in
New
Orleans
is
actually
in
charge
of
their
enterprise,
wide
violence,
prevention,
work
and
so
I
think
that
there's
definitely
opportunities
to
look
here,
since
we
have
an
eye
team
at
how
that
might
influence
this
body
of
work.
So
thank
you
for
that.
H
Thinking
about
the
violence
of
violence
prevention,
executive
committee:
this
is
the
infrastructure
that
we
came
up
with
that
were
bringing
back
to
you
all
at
the
council
for
recommendation
as
a
recommendation.
It
would
continue
to
be
a
mayor,
appointed
body
with
council
approval
seats.
It
would
include
five
Ward
bade
seats,
which
would
focus
or
give
preference
to
eight
areas
that
are
most
impacted
by
violence
and
that
are
highly
represented
by
communities
of
color,
because
they
are
often
most
impacted
by
violence.
H
We
would
continue
to
want
to
look
across
a
variety
of
sectors
like
financial
and
business,
health
care,
research
and
academia,
law
enforcement,
faith,
community
Parks
and
Rec
and
the
Board
of
Education.
We
want
to
continue
to
look
at
those
criteria
that
we
know
are
really
important
to
outcomes
related
to
young
people,
but
that
what
happens
to
young
people
also
really
affects
the
community
at
large
and
vice
versa.
H
I
think
that
that's
where
we
see
an
opportunity
is
to
really
make
sure
that
all
these
various
systems
that
are
focused
on
public
safety
and
violence
prevention
have
an
opportunity
to
convene
on
a
regular
basis
to
provide
feedback
to
both
the
mayor's
office
in
this
body
and
to
really
make
sure
that
we're
working
to
the
best
of
our
abilities.
So
some
of
the
areas
that
we
thought
again
might
be
beneficial
to
have
at
the
table
would
be
recast.
H
The
collaborative
public
safety
strategies
put
a
wide
range
of
citywide
projects
that
have
an
impact
on
public
safety
could
be
convened
at
this
one
table
and
I
think
that
that
pretty
much
synthesizes
what
we
had
to
say,
we
would
continue
to
focus
on
the
youth
violence
prevention.
We
want
in
no
way
to
step
back
from
youth
violence
prevention
as
a
critical
component
of
the
work.
I
Thank
you,
and
just
to
one
committee
members
I
did
bring
in
a
resolution
that
I
was
hoping
was
reflecting
the
staff
recommendation
I'm,
not
sure
if
I
quite
nailed
it
and
it
might
need
a
little
tweaking
I
just
want
to
understand
a
little
bit
about
these
two
different
sides
of
the
committee.
How
many
would
there
be
then
total
is
that
21
total
people
that
you're
proposing
or-
and
maybe
you
could
tell
me
how
much
from
each
bucket,
so
there
was
one
that
had
to
do
with
the
Ameri
pointed
council
approved
and
then
another
non-voting
non-members.
H
Comes
Bloomberg
Gordon
into
the
chair,
we
would
do
21
seats
as
we've
currently
done
with
17
opponent,
members
and
three
co-chairs
and
those
would
be
the
voting
members
of
the
body.
The
staff
from
the
city
who
were
reflect
a
variety
of
the
projects
across
the
enterprise
would
be
there
as
non-voting
members
really
reporting
into
that
body
and
providing
updates
on
their
work
and
working
about
around
the
issue
of
alignment
and
so
I.
Don't
think
we
have
a
target
number
on
that,
because
there
is
such
a
wide
range
of
work.
H
H
I
And
did
the
current
mayor
express
a
deep
desire
to
appoint
all
members
and
also
serve
as
chair
I
know
that
when
this
was
started
it
was
it
was
pretty
much
coming
out
of
the
mirror,
our
tier
IX
office
and
I
think
that
was
an
initial
thing
that
we
did
to
kind
of
build
on
that
and
use
that
momentum.
Typically,
when
we
have
these
groups
there,
some
appointed
by
the
council
and
some
by
the
mirror.
So
if
you
could
just
speak
to
that
for
a
little
bit
so
I
understand
that
the.
H
Mayor's
staff
searched
include
interest
and
wanting
to
continue
in
participation
in
this
work.
I
think
how
and
what
that
looks
like
has
some
level
of
flexibility,
which
is
why
we
included
the
ward
seats
and
wanted
to
really
think
about
how
we
be
more
inclusive
and
represent
this
body
as
well,
and
the
needs
around
this
so
I
don't
have
I
apologize.
That
I
don't
have
a
specific
answer
for
you.
I
I
Well
that
that
that
that
sounds
good,
that's
not
exactly
what
I've
gotten
the
draft
before
us,
so
I
think
one
of
the
time
comes.
I'm
gonna
want
to
move
this
draft
forward
without
recommendation,
so
I
can
make
some
refinements
and
get
it
right
before
the
council
meeting,
but
I
think
those
are
the
questions.
I
haven't
now
I
understand
things
better
and
I
really
appreciate
it,
and
I
was
a
little
bit
hesitant
at
first
when
we
were
just
taking
the
name
youth
off
the
title
of
this
ready,
but
I
really
appreciate
now.
I
This
offers
us
an
opportunity
not
only
to
implement
fully
our
blueprint,
which
is
focused
on
youth,
violence
prevention
and
continue
the
great
work
we're
doing,
but
maybe
better
coordinated
with
other
efforts
in
the
city
and
so
I'm
I'm.
Accepting
that
and
getting
to
the
point
where
I'll
be
embracing
it
enthusiastically
soon.
A
Well,
I
am
the
reason.
Why
is
because,
as
the
chair
of
the
Peace
Committee
in
seeing
and
being
so
heavily
involved
with
violence
prevention
and
seeing
how
it's
been
scattered
throughout
the
city,
it's
not
just
owned
in
the
health
department
anymore,
the
health
department's,
the
experts
around
violence
prevention
and
what
that
means
like
from
an
epidemiological
perspective
but
like
at
the
end
of
the
day.
There's
work,
that's
happening
all
over
and
I
think
that
this
is
a
really
great
opportunity
for
us
to
be
able
to
get
the
recast
folks
at
the
table.
A
The
collaborative
safety
folks
at
the
table,
the
domestic
violence
hotspots
work
all
at
the
table
talking
about
what's
happening.
What
resources
are
available?
What's
working,
what's
not
working
and
then
to
be
able
to
use
that
as
a
way
to
be
in
relationship
with
the
community
in
a
more
intentional
way.
I
think
that
this
is
a
really
great
structure
and
I'm
excited
to
see
what
the
resolution
ends
up
looking
like,
so
that
we
can
I'll
be
super
enthusiastic
about
it.
I
did
have.
One
question:
is
that
the
original
youth
violence
prevention
committee?
A
There
we
go
house
like
the
blueprint,
the
one
word
so
so
that
was
really
what
it
was
tasked
with
in
2008.
So
that's
been
ten
years
now.
Do
you,
from
your
perspective,
believe
that
it's
time
for
us
to
update
the
blueprint
so
that
it
is
more
expanded
expansive
to
include
the
work
beyond
here
and
since
we're
rethinking
the
committee
and
the
committee
has
been
historically,
the
stewards
is
that
something
that
you
feel
like
might
be
down
the
road
to
thank.
H
H
The
plan
was
updated
in
2012
when
we
joined
the
youth
balance,
the
forum
of
mine
youth
violence
prevention
nationally,
but
that's
still
been
quite
a
while,
and
so
it
is
time
to
really
think
about
what
we
currently
have
written
down
and
how
it
coordinates
across
the
enterprise,
and
so
that
is
definitely
a
challenge
that
we're
looking
at
both
for
this
year
and
probably
leading
into
next
year.
Thank.
A
You
so
much
20
that
my
colleagues
have
any
further
questions
or
miss
cotton.
All
right!
Well,
thank
you!
So
so
much
for
that,
and
thank
you
to
all
the
staff
who
put
time
into
thinking
through
the
staff
direction.
This
work
is
such
cutting
edge,
work
and
I
am
so
grateful
to
have
such
amazing
staff
who
take
the
time
to
think
intentionally
about
how
are
we
or
reorganizing
systems
to
be
more
effective
and
so
that
we're
being
more
we're
building
better
power
here
through
the
city.
A
So
thank
you
and
thank
you
to
Commissioner
musekamp
for
all
of
your
leadership
as
well
and
with
that
I
would
like
to
make
a
motion
to
receive
and
file
the
youth
violence
prevention,
executive
committee
presentation
all
of
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye
aye,
those
opposed
say
no,
the
eyes
have
it,
and
that
item
is
received
and
file
and
I
have
a
question
comment
from
Kalispell
recorded.
So.
I
I
would
also
like
to
move
the
resolution
that
we
you
have
before
you
that
outlines
the
specifics
of
this
I
think
I
passed
when
I
was
everybody-
maybe
not
yet,
but
I'd
like
to
move
it
forward
without
recommendation,
because
I
have
some
inaccuracies
in
it.
So
this
is
basically
taking
the
recommendation,
but
we
got
from
the
staff
direction
and
creating
the
group
I
don't
want
to
wait.
I
really,
I
think
we
need
to
get
this
up
and
running
as
soon
as
possible,
but
I
don't
want
to
do
the
word
smithing
right
here
in
committee.
I
A
So
the
motion
is
to
forward
it
to
the
next
council
meeting
without
recommendation
and
is
there
anything
else.
I
need
to
add
to
that
motion
all
right,
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye
aye,
those
opposed
say
no,
the
eyes
have
it
that
passes.
Thank
you,
everybody
for
your
patience
with
that
one.
Thank
you.
I
A
And
next
up
we
have
the
presentation,
the
annual
presentation
from
the
homegrown
Minneapolis
food
Council.
We
have
Tamara
assist
from
the
city
coordinators
office,
along
with
Devon
Nolan,
and
look
Latasha
Powell
of
the
homegrown
Minneapolis
food
council.
They
will
be
giving
our
presentations
the
presentation.
Thank
you.
So
much
take
it
from
here.
J
My
name
is
Tasha
polyster
honored
to
be
co-chair
of
Minneapolis
homegrown
council
today,
I'm
here
with
my
colleagues
to
talk
about
our
accomplishments
and
plays
phrase
one
from
November
2008
to
June
2009
nature,
the
Naja
HDM.
In
developing
a
recommendation
for
ways
the
city
can
sow
in
advance
local
food
systems
first
to
took
place
from
July
29th
to
December
2011.
That
was
the
implementation
of
recommendations
in
phase
three
from
January
2012
to
the
present.
J
Our
seventeen
community
memory
representation
bring
many
food
systems
and
community
perspective
knowledge
and
innovations.
Our
partnership
includes
representations
from
the
city,
Minneapolis,
Park
and
Recreation
board
in
the
Minneapolis
Public
Schools.
We
appreciate
leadership
and
participation
from
chair
Cunningham
on
behalf
of
city
council.
Thank
you
again
and
from
heidi
richard
on
behalf
of
the
mayor
of
fry
office.
Now
I
will
hand
it
over
to
Tamara.
K
We're
excited
in
the
past
year
to
have
seen
more
Lots
become
available
for
growing
in
the
city.
Partnership
from
public
works
is
expanded
around
several
areas
of
the
city
for
more
lots
to
become
available.
We
have
been
actively
engaged
in
the
planning
around
the
comp
plan
and
several
of
the
research
teams.
We
have
been
able
to
sit
in
and
provide
some
advice,
as
well
as
multiple
discussions
with
the
food
council
from
planning
staff
which
we've
appreciated.
K
K
We
were
actively
involved
in
promoting
and
we're
excited
to
see
both
made
available
with
recent
RFPs
and
a
community
engagement
in
that
Twin
Cities
good
food
purchasing
program
we've
signed
on
to
that
coalition
and
our
Minneapolis
public
school
district
has
been
doing
a
baseline
assessment
and
understanding
from
the
context
of
their
own
procurement
decisions
and
authority.
What
they
might
do
to
have
a
better
procurement
for
all
and
in
its
policies?
K
We're
very
excited
about
all
the
activities
occurring
with
the
farmers
markets
and
the
development
and
launch
of
a
new
brand.
The
farmers
markets
of
Minneapolis
in
the
last
year,
with
a
lot
of
support
from
the
city
as
well
as
University
and
active
participation
of
our
co-chair
and
other
market
manager.
Leaders
in
developing
a
plan
for
the
farmers
markets.
That
can
help
them
to
be
successful
for
the
vendors
and
the
eaters
who
depend
on
them.
K
We
have
been
doing
metrics
at
all
of
the
markets
and
marketing,
as
well
as
a
number
of
technical
assistance
projects
to
help
the
markets
to
better
implement
their
food
access
programs
and,
as
you
can
see,
a
number
of
giveaways
and
things
that
both
helped
our
environmental
systems
as
well
as
the
branding
and
we're
very
excited
to
promote
farmers
market
Week
in
August.
When
we
will
be
able
to
share
some
of
our
highlights
and
learnings
from
the
metrics
project
to
date.
With
that
I
will
hand
it
over
to
our
co-chair.
L
Thank
You
Tamra
and
thank
you
to
committee,
chair,
Cunningham
and
city
council.
Just
we'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
community
engagement
highlights
and
we
facilitated
conversations
about
healthy
food
access,
land
access
and
food
business
development.
We
have
a
monthly
e-newsletter
that
reaches
over
3,300
individuals
and
Friends
of
homegrown,
with
our
social
media
presence
on
Facebook,
and
then
our
home
remedy
Atlas
website
has
proven
to
be
a
great
resource
to
city
members.
L
Here
we
did
host
a
food
policy
forum
which
was
not
for
traditional
food
Policy
Forum,
and
we
were
very
intentional
about
that
and
we
want
to
thank
Council
Chair
Cunningham
council
member
Ellison,
councilmember,
Gordon
and
councilmember
Schroeder
for
serving
on
that
panel.
Hopefully
it
was
enjoyable
for
you
as
well,
and
so
we're
really
excited
to
have
mayor
and
city
council
members
who
are
foodies
and
really
prioritizing
their
commitment
to
food
and
healthy
food
access
and
healthy
food
businesses.
In
our
city.
L
Here
we
had
over
100
attendees,
we
discussed
needs
and
opportunities
around
urban
agriculture
and
food
business
development.
Look
forward
to
continuing
this
conversation
with
policymakers
and
members
and
community
members
about
how
to
continue
to
support
of
incentives
through
more
innovations
than
our
food
system.
L
A
With
our
news
account
if
I
may
jump
in
really
quick,
if
you
could
go
back
to
the
last
slide,
I
just
wanted
to,
if,
if
I
can't
real
quick
I
want
to
point
out
to
my
colleagues,
the
photos
furthest
to
the
left
is
appetite
for
change
in
North
Minneapolis
urban
youth
is
the
name
of
their
music
group.
Folks,
please
take
the
time
to
YouTube
good
food
and
because
they
have
a
really
great
a
song
talking
about
healthy
food
and
that's
what
they're
performing
right
there
I
can
tell
because
I've
seen
the
performance
they
love.
It.
B
L
L
L
And
you
know
we
are
an
innovative
City
and
we
are
innovative
a
lot
of
ways
and
it's
all
the
more
reason
why
we
should
support
that
work
and
working
with
city
staff
really
figuring
out
what
that
looks
like
at
implementation
within
our
city.
And
then
our
urban
AG
working
group
has
continued
to
work
on
their
recommendations
to
cities
and
parks,
which
include
increasing
staff
time
for
a
community,
our
garden
program,
administration,
promoting
more
land
access
and
incentives
for
growing
food
and
offering
lots
for
sale
for
urban
growers.
L
So,
lastly,
thank
you
just
again
for
the
ongoing
support
in
partnership.
It's
been
a
wonderful
opportunity
to
for
myself
build
my
own
capacity,
even
understanding
like
how
to
get
behind
there
with
one
of
you
guys,
maybe
one
day,
but
really
building
those.
Those
bridges
between
community
and
those
who
represented
us,
so
thank
you
so
much.
L
D
Mail
I
just
want
to
thank
you
all
for
the
amazing
work
you
did.
That
was
a
great
forum
appreciate
being
asked
to
be
there
I
think
it
really.
It
may
start
from
being
a
foodie,
but
then
you
just
see
how
it
brings
community
of
all
types
together
and
then
to
continue.
It
ask
questions:
what
if,
how
does
food
make
our
city
resilient
and
how
far
we
are
behind
like
a
lot
of
these
things,
we
celebrate,
but
we
have
a
very
long
place
to
go.
D
I
Also
wanted
to
thank
all
your
efforts
and
appreciate
very
much
miss
not
serving
on
the
Food
Policy
Council,
but
that
that's
you
know,
that's
fine,
it's
great
to
have
some
more
voices
and
some
more
people.
There
too
I
also
really
appreciate
that
you
gave
some
input
on
the
comp
plan.
I
know
there
are
some
food
policy
issues
are
in
the
comp
plan
now
among
the
policy,
so
that's
great
work
that
it's
there
and
hopefully
you'll,
keep
looking
at
that
and
you'll.
Take
a
look
at
that.
I
I
know,
there's
lots
more
that
we
could
do
I
remember
when
we
first
started
opening
up
the
city
to
growing.
We
made
some
concessions
and
some
compromises,
and
we
still
hear
back
from
people
who
wonder
why
they
can't
have
a
permanent
green
house
somewhere,
even
if
they
have
an
urban
farm
and
somehow
they
can't
and
what's
not
allowed,
and
we
bump
into
all
sorts
of
little
problems
here
as
regulators,
but
there's
those
are
little
hurdles
that
we
can
sometimes
help
get
over.
B
L
A
Just
jump
in
here
and
say
that
when
I
first
got
elected
and
then
I
saw
the
like
multitude
there's
like
50
external
bores,
that
we
have
to
figure
out
who
serves
on
what
and
we
had
to
duke
it
out
a
little
bit.
I
was
like
no,
no,
it
was
like
alright
we'll
get
the
young
uns
a
chance.
So
thank
you
for
that,
and
also
I
just
have
to
say,
I
love
serving
on
the
food
council.
A
There
is
such
an
amazing
energy,
and
it
also
just
is
a
really
joyful
experience
for
me
as
a
North
Sider,
to
have
North
siders,
leading
the
work
to
be
able
to
have
that
perspective
from
the
start,
knowing
that
our
community
has
been
historically
completely
left
out
of
fresh
food
growing
our
own
food,
just
fresh
access
to
fresh,
healthy
food,
it
means
so
much
to
really
see
to
amazing
at
North
siders
leading
this
work.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
all
of
your
leadership
and
we
got
to
cook
again
together.
A
Thank
you.
Are
there
any
other
questions
or
comments
for
my
colleagues
all
right?
Seeing
no
further
questions.
Thank
you.
So
much
to
the
three
of
you
with
that
I
would
like
to
make
a
motion
to
receive
and
file
the
presentation
on
the
2017,
homegirl
Minneapolis,
boot,
Council,
accomplishments
and
2018
plans.
All
those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
aye.
Those
opposed
say.
No.
That
motion
passes
so
I
just
want
to.
A
Let
folks
know
that
our
next
committee
meeting
is
going
to
be
on
July
9th
at
1:30
here
in
the
chambers,
and
I
would
like
to
remind
everyone-
the
riveted
viewers
at
home,
especially
to
please
contact
your
council
member
and
make
sure
that
your
voice
is
heard.
Thank
you
so
much
and
with
that
we
are
adjourned.
