advisory
system,
of
which
I'm
going

I'll
note,
Madam,

I,
believe
staff
is
interested

well
and

just
give

city

heads-up

Mr.
D
A
A
E
B
F
Sharon.
Thank
you,
madam
president,
for
this
particular
resolution.
I
have
brought
forward
amendments
that
are
in
front
of
my
colleagues.
Now
you
will
be
able
to
see
that
there
were
some
changes,
including
an
increase
increased
size
of
the
committee
by
two
to
increase
the
amount
of
mayoral
appointees
and
additionally,
we
change
the
name
of
the
committee
from
the
upper
harbour
terminal,
Advisory
Committee
to
the
upper
harbour
terminal,
Community,
Planning
and
engagement
committee
to
more
accurately
capture
the
work
that
that
committee
will
be
doing
so
on
that.
With
this
substitute
motion,
I
move
approval,
councilmember.
A
A
E
You
very
much
president
bender,
the
housing
policy
and
Development
Committee
is
bringing
three
items
forward
for
consideration.
The
first
is
a
land
sale.
This
is
a
side
yard
sale
at
232,
Humboldt,
Avenue.
North
second
item
is
authorizing
the
Minnesota
Housing
Finance
Agency
lender
participation,
agreement
for
Minnesota,
Housing,
home
improvement,
loan
programs
and
the
third
item
is
a
stable
home,
stable
school
program
report
and
we
considered
approving
the
work
plan
and
also
a
funding
agreement
with
Minneapolis
housing,
housing,
Minneapolis
public
housing
authority.
E
The
committee
sent
both
of
those
items
in
item
3
having
to
do
with
stable
home,
stable
schools
program
forward
without
recommendation
I'm
going
to
move
items,
1
&
2
forward,
I'm,
also
going
to
move
item
3
but
I
know
there
is
a
staff
Direction
motion
from
council
president
which
I'll
move,
but
perhaps
you
can
speak
to
and
that
way.
Maybe
we
can
vote
on
all
three
Kepler.
A
We
had
quite
a
long
discussion
about
this
in
committee
with
some
questions
from
Council
members
about
detail
that
wasn't
yet
available
and
so
I've
have
a
staff
direction,
which
is
just
asking
that
after
finance
staff
gets
involved
in
writing
the
financial
agreement,
which
is
happening
next
week,
that
then
a
more
detailed
financial
agreement
would
come
back
through
for
approval,
including
through
the
Ways
and
Means
Committee,
as
contracts
do
and
so
just
to
be
clear.
The
finance
department
hasn't
yet
been
involved
in
these
discussions.
They
will
be
soon
so
this
shouldn't
slow
anything
down.
E
I
support
this
I
think
it's
good
that
we're
doing
our
due
diligence.
Also,
the
I
think
that
there
already
is
a
steering
committee.
That's
kind
of
an
established,
so
I
think
that
part
of
the
step
direction,
which
says
well
convene
that
and
kind
of
formalize
it
and
also
make
quarterly
reports
completely,
makes
sense
so
appreciate
this
extra
effort
that
went
into
this
is.
G
A
H
C
A
A
F
You,
madam
president,
the
public
health
environment,
civil
rights
and
engagement
committee
brings
forth
six
items
to
today
for
today
for
approval.
The
first
is
a
grant
acceptance
from
youth
prize
for
youth
sponsorships
at
bridges
to
manhood
conference.
The
second
is
public
health
advisory
committee
appointments.
The
third
is
northern
metal
advisory
commitment.
A
commitment
committee
appointment.
Excuse
me.
The
fourth
is
a
grant
application
for
targeted
opioid
treatment
prevention
and
recovery
grant.
The
fifth
is
a
gift
acceptance
from
City
match
for
travel
to
a
conference,
and
the
sixth
is
an
MoU
with
Xcel
Energy.
A
A
G
You,
madam
president,
so
the
public
safety
and
emergency
management
committee
has
one
two
three
four
four
items
on
our
committee
report
today.
So
what
I'd
like
to
do
is
pull
one
item
out
for
a
brief
discussion
and
I
will
make
a
motion
on
on
that
which
is
item
number
three.
So
I
would
like
to
see
if
we
can
vote
on
items,
one
two
and
four
and
I'll
read
those
off
and
those
are
would
be,
are
forwarded
to
the
full
council
for
approval.
G
So
number
one
is
a
contract
with
the
Regents
of
the
University
of
Minnesota
for
veterinary
services
for
police
canines.
Item
number:
two
is
a
contract
with
the
Minnesota
Bureau
of
Criminal
Apprehension
for
DNA
analysis
of
Minneapolis
Police
Department
case
evidence
and
item
number.
Four
is
a
gift
acceptance
for
the
Minneapolis
Police
Department
from
the
Minneapolis
Police
k-9
foundation
for
training
of
two
k9
units.
So
I
would
like
to
bring
those
forward
for
approval
and
then
take
up
number
three.
B
President
item
number
two
on
ways
and
means
was
supported
without
a
recommendation
and
the
reason
why,
as
this
item
was
forwarded
to
two
committees
separately,
this
committee
recommended
no
action.
The
companion
item
that
came
through
was
through
ways
and
means
item
number
nine
on
the
same
agenda.
It's
the
same
item
and
ways
and
means
afforded
a
recommendation
to
approve
our
recommendation
from
staff
was
therefore
to
delete
item
number
two
from
the
public
safety
emergency
management
agenda
and
take
up.
B
A
You
for
the
clarification
so
in
nodding
with
the
chairs
I
was
like
it's
amenable
so
then
councilmember
Cano
has
moved
items,
1,
&,
4
and
then
we'll
do
the
mom
and
we'll
move
to
delete
item
2
from
the
P
SEM
agenda
and
knowing
that
item
will
come
back
through
the
ways
and
needs
reports.
Is
there
any
discussion
on
items
1,
2,
&,
4?
B
G
G
G
A
C
You,
madam
chair
I,
just
want
to
thank
councilmember
Connell
for
allowing
us
to
have
a
robust
discussion
at
committee.
I
think
that
is
the
right
direction
to
go
and
she's
helping
us
engage
the
police
department
in
more
conversation
about
about
this
and
just
in
general,
how
we
do
these
kinds
of
things
and
allow
access
to
our
Police
Department.
So
thank
you
for
that.

these
items
for
approval
council.
A
A
A
Era
tonight
that
carries
and
those
items
are
adopted,
the
next
order
of
business.
This
morning
is
resolutions.
We
have
one
honoring
resolution,
which
is
to
honor
mark
Anderson
with
the
department
with
the
development
housing
division
in
our
CPD
Department,
who
was
retiring
after
44
years
of
service
to
the
city.
Mr.
Anderson
is
not
here
this
morning,
so
we
didn't
do
a
formal
presentation,
but
we
wanted
to
make
sure
to
mention
our
gratitude
for
his
long
years
of
service
to
our
city.
A
So
I
will
note
that
and
see
if
there
are
any
comments
from
Council
members
on
the
resolution,
seeing
none
all
in
approval,
please
say:
aye
aye,
any
opposed.
I
know
that
carries
and
the
resolution
is
adopted
in
thanks
to
mr.
Anderson
our
last.
Our
next
order
of
business
is
the
order
of
unfinished
business.
This
is
the
item
that
we
referred
to
earlier
in
the
HPD
committee
agenda.
I
think
in
conferring
with
the
clerk
and
the
city
attorney.
We
need
to
postpone
this
action
for
one
additional
cycle.
A
A
So
I
will
then
move
to
postpone
this
one
additional
cycle
so
that
we
can
complete
those
actions
at
our
next
regular
meeting
on
approval,
any
discussion
on
approval,
please
say:
aye
aye
and
you
post
a
no
that
carries
and
those
are
postponed
for
one
final
cycle.
Next,
we
have
announcements.
Are
there
any
announcements
for
councilmembers
comer
Palmisano?
Thank.
C
You,
council,
president
I,
just
wanted
to
give
my
colleagues
a
heads
up
that
at
our
next
regularly
scheduled
Committee
of
the
Whole
meeting
council.
Vice
president
Jenkins
is
agreed
to
allow
time
for
a
deeper
presentation
and
QA
in
regards
to
biennial
budgets,
which
is
a
change
to
the
Charter.
That's
being
proposed.
I
wanted
to
just
also
take
this
opportunity
to
thank
and
name
the
groups
that
have
been
in
all
of
these
conversations
about
this
issue.
That's
the
city's
finance
team
has
been
helping
to
spend
a
lot
of
time
on
this.
C
We
also
who
also
participated
in
that
workgroup,
the
Minneapolis,
Park
and
Rec
board
commissioners,
their
finance
team,
as
well
as
Budget
Committee
vice
chair,
councilmember,
Fletcher's,
so
I
know,
we've
been
in
conversation
on
this
issue
over
the
past
year
and
it's,
but
it's
a
huge
lift
and
it's
a
really
potentially
transformative
conversation.
And
it's
not
done
yet
there's
still
a
lot
of
details
to
discuss
so,
but
during
this
time
I
asked
my
colleagues
that
if
there
are
other
departments
or
other
entities
that
you
all
want
to
be
included
to,
please
let
me
know
soon.
C
The
Charter
Commission
has
indicated
that
they're
ready
to
formally
discuss
this
topic.
We
sent
it
there
at
our
last
meeting,
and
so
their
next
meeting
is
February
6th.
We
don't
have
purview
over
this
timeline
when
it's
in
their
hands.
They
could
take
quite
some
time
to
have
public
hearing
news
on
it
and
that
type
of
thing
or
not,
but
they
have
been
discussing
this
in
parallel
with
us
and
also
with
individual
council
members.
So
thank
you
and
I
look
forward
to
more
conversation
on
it.
Thank.
