A
Do
my
colleagues
have
any
questions
or
comments
on
any
of
those
items
all
right,
seeing
none.
First
I'll
welcome
council
member
Gordon
seeing
no
questions
or
comments
from
my
colleagues,
all
those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
aye,
those
opposed,
say,
nay,
the
eyes
have
it
and
those
items
carry
next
up.
We
have
two
discussion
items.
The
first
is
going
to
be
receiving
and
filing
the
contracts,
contract,
compliance
division,
2018
annual
report
followed
by
receiving
and
filing
an
update
related
to
the
public
safety
goal
area
of
the
city,
strategic
and
racial
equity
action
plan.
C
B
All
right,
my
name
is
Sean
Skippy
I'm,
the
director
that
contract
compliance
division,
part
of
the
Minneapolis
Department
of
Civil
Rights.
Thank
you
all
for
your
time
this
afternoon.
During
this
presentation,
I
will
provide
a
summary
of
the
measurable
outcomes
related
to
each
of
the
programs
that
contract
compliance
division,
oversees
that
are
five
program
areas
administered
by
contract,
compliance
and
they're
detailed
on
page
3
of
the
report.
B
Just
a
brief
summary
on
that
page
they're,
the
small
and
underutilized
business
program,
which
focuses
on
business
inclusion
on
city
contracts,
the
city's
workforce
program,
which
helps
provide
employment
opportunities
to
women
and
people
of
color
on
city
contracts.
The
city's
affirmative
action
plan
requirement,
which
requires
contractors
doing
business
with
the
city
on
contracts
over
$100,000,
to
have
an
approved
affirmative
action
plan
on
file
with
the
division.
B
B
I,
also
think
that
these
programs
really
get
to
the
crux
of
ensuring
that
the
city
is
providing
equitable
opportunities
to
people
of
color,
indigenous
people
and
women
and
doing
its
part
to
redress
the
historic
disparity
that
has
existed
in
the
construction
industry
specifically
and
the
city
is
a
fall
for
much,
if
not
all,
of
its
history.
So
with
that,
I
also
go
to
the
next
slide
and
I
don't
want
to
go
too
far.
I
also
want
to
know
just
a
formatting
change
that
we
decided
to
implement
this
year
and
hopefully
moving
forward.
B
So
we
changed
the
acronym
of
for
businesses
owned
by
women
of
people
owned
by
people
of
color
and
indigenous
people.
We
change
that
from
minority
business
enterprise
to
PLC
I,
which
stands
for
person
color
and
indigenous,
and
we
did
this
just
to
acknowledge
the
oppressive
nature
of
the
term
minority,
so
wanted
to
make
a
note
of
that
as
well.
You'll
see
that
acronym
for
the
first
time,
I'm
just
wanted
to
make
sure
you
were
aware
of
it
so,
starting
with
business
inclusion
and
a
small
and
underutilized
business
program.
B
We
reviewed
and
reviewed
2200
projects
or
contracts
for
su
VP
goals,
and
so
when
we're
looking
at
these
were
basically
reviewing
the
work
under
the
contract
to
see
whether
it's
possible
to
whether
there
are
firms
available
where
we
can
set
a
goal
for
businesses
owned
by
women
or
people
of
color.
That
bidders
must
either
meet
or
make
a
good-faith
effort
to
meet
before
awarding
the
contract.
So
we
reviewed
200
in
2018
and
I'm
page
for
the
report.
We
break
that
down
a
little
farther
so
of
those
200.
B
B
So
this
is
the
pre-award
review
process
essentially
means
that
it's
a
contract
compliance
will
review
these
contracts
before
before
they
are
approved
by
before
they're
approved
for
contract
award.
So
before
they
even
go
to
council
for
you
to
review,
we
are
looking
at
whether
the
bidders
that
have
been
on
these
projects
have
met
the
contract
goals.
C
I'm
not
sure,
if
there's
more
slides
coming
up,
but
you
mentioned
that
there
were
only
goals
set
on
about
a
hundred
and
eleven
I.
Think
out
of
the
200
that
you
reviewed
and
I
noticed
in
the
report
when
it
about
the
commodities
and
supplier
contracts
out
of
30
only
to
actually
set
goals.
So
I
wonder
if
you
could
talk
a
little
bit
about
how
why
more
of
the
contracts
aren't
required
or
we're
not
expecting
them
to
set
goals.
Sure.
B
Council
member
Gordon
mr.
chair,
thank
you
for
the
question.
So
the
commodities
and
supplies
contracts
have
notoriously
been
challenging
to
set
goals
on
when
we're
looking
at
a
contract,
we're
looking
at
subcontracting
opportunities,
we're
looking
for
firms
that
do
that
work,
and
traditionally
with
commodities
and
supplies
contracts
that
aren't
a
lot
of
either
of
those
right.
So
subcontracting
opportunities
when
you're
when
you're
purchasing
equipment.
For
you
know
it
might
be
a
number
of
vehicles
for
the
police
department,
for
example-
or
it
might
be
some
materials
for
maintenance
of
a
city
building.
B
There
is
traditionally
not
a
lot
of
subcontracting.
That's
part
of
that
supply
chain.
There
are
also
traditionally
not
of
local
firms
that
are
owned
by
women
are
people
of
color
that
provide
that
service,
and
so
it's
gotten
very
difficult
I.
Actually,
we
might
have
set
goals
in
2017
and
a
couple
of
those
commodity
and
supplies
contracts
before
that
I,
don't
think
we
ever
did
so
the
to
as
low
as
it
looks,
I
think
actually
constitutes
an
increase
over
what
we've
done
in
the
past
I'd
be
happy
to
get
you
some
of
that
historical
information.
B
C
But
I
appreciate
that
explanation
and
the
number
in
terms
of
construction
and
development
projects
is
much
higher,
I,
think
85
out
of
a
hundred
or
so
set
goals
and
I
think
that
shows
that
we've
been
thinking
about
and
working
on,
construction
and
development.
A
lot
longer
and
we've
been
looking
at
how
we
can
help
people
start
businesses
and
get
interested
in
that
field
a
lot
longer
and
so
on.
I
think
it
shows
that
what
some
focus
may
be.
C
B
You,
council,
member
mr.
chairman,
so
getting
back
to
the
72
pre-award
reviews.
We
can
we
conducted
just
to
give
a
breakdown
of
that
of
those
72
reviews.
44
of
those
contractors
committed
to
meeting
the
goals
at
the
time
are
prior
to
contract
award.
At
the
time
of
the
pre-award
review,
28
asad
award
by
demonstrating
good-faith
efforts
and
of
those
28
the
division
approved
22
of
them.
B
B
That
actually
is
also
a
record
for
2018
for
the
number
of
firms
we've
certified
Expo,
just
to
beat
that
in
2019,
but
we
in
addition
to
certifying
those
firms,
we
actually
chaired
the
certification
application
committee
in
2018
and
that's
the
committee
that
reviews
and
processes
and
makes
decisions
on
all
applications
for
su
VP
certification
when
firms
apply.
So
that
was
a
big
part
of
our
work
in
2018
as
well.
B
So
continuing
with
the
business
inclusion
components
of
our
work
and
so
in
28,
if
you
look
at
the
breakdown,
this
is
a
breakdown
of
four-year
summary
of
construction
projects.
In
2018,
we
had
58
construction
projects
that
we
closed,
totaling
220
over
200
million
dollars.
I
think
221
million
dollars
is
the
estimated
amounts.
This
is
actually
detailed
further
on
page
5
of
the
report
as
well,
and
these
numbers
actually
show,
as
you
can
see,
a
pretty
big
jump.
An
ester
BP
participation
both
for
businesses
owned
by
women
and
businesses
owned
by
people
of
color.
B
The
10%
of
the
dollars
on
these
projects
went
to
businesses
owned
by
women
and
businesses
owned
by
people
of
color,
so
that
constitutes
a
significant
increase
over
the
previous
years,
as
well
as
certainly
over
the
year
before
that,
so
significant
progress
in
that
area
over
20
million
dollars
actually
went
to
both
of
those
firms
that
firms
in
both
of
those
groups
so
a
big
big
step
in
the
right
direction
as
well.
That
will
help
to
keep
moving
forward
on
in
2019
and
again
one
of
these
things
that
also
might
jump
out
to
you.
B
If
you
look
at
the
report
on
page
5
is
that
we
closed
more
contracts
in
2018
for
a
higher
dollar
amount
than
we
have
in
the
last
four
years
and
again
with
more
money
going
to
SVP
firms
overall,
during
that
three-year,
so
good
good
results
overall,
on
that,
it's
good
progress
and
we'll
hope
to
keep
that
moving
forward.
Mr.
B
Thank
You
mr.
chair,
it's
a
popular
question
actually
with
firms
that
are
trying
to
comply
with
this
MVP
as
well,
so
we
count
firms
that
are
owned
by
women,
female
people
of
color
and
the
people
of
color
and
people
of
color
category.
So
that's
where
they
are
counted.
They
do
not
count.
It's
WBE.
That
is
a
when
we
say
WBE,
that
is
a
non
minority,
woman,
business,
enterprise,
designation,
and
so
we
do
that
because
that's
how
we
separate
the
goals,
that's
how
we
count
their
participation
on
a
project
so.
D
A
It
possible
for
us
to
actually
disagree.
I
think
it's
important
for
us
to
disagree
in
name
the
women
of
color,
because,
if
we're
pulling
out
that
data,
particularly
for
white
women,
I
think
it's
important
for
us
to
know
how
women
of
color
are
doing
as
well
in
comparison
to
the
overall
picture.
So
I
just
want
to
name
that
for
consideration,
because
there's
different
experiences
and
access
to
business
ownership
and
so
I
just
think
that
it.
That
would
be
something
that's
worth
considering
for
how
we
present
the
data
and
how
we
talk
about
it.
Sure.
B
B
Okay,
so
now
I'm
gonna
switch
gears
and
talk
about
Workforce
inclusion.
This
is
this
applies
to
essentially
the
workforce
inclusion
on
the
city's
construction
projects.
This
is
a
representation
of
hours
that
were
reported
on
hours.
Hours
were
reported
on
city
construction
projects
ever
subject
to
the
prevailing
wage
requirement,
so
these
are
really
detailed
breakdown
of
the
construction
trades
and
as
just
to
bring
you
just
to
give
a
little
bit
more
information
about
this
and
there's
more
detail
on
page
six
effective.
B
These
goals
reflect
the
construction
workforce
goals
and
established
in
2017,
I,
think
of
July
of
that
year
for
Hennepin
and
Ramsey
counties,
as
those
numbers
were
set
by
the
Minnesota
Department
of
Human
Rights.
Well,
these
numbers,
as
you
can
see
in
2017
they
do
a
slight
percentage
decrease
from
24
to
23
percent
for
hours
work
by
people
of
color.
There
was
a
total
increase
in
the
hours
worked
in
that
year
and
the
numbers
correlate
with
around
the
same
range
as
they
have
in
previous
years.
B
We
closed
six
section
three
covered
projects
with
the
total
of
8%
going
to
section
3
businesses
and
we
recovered
19,000
$422
in
prevailing
wage
restitution
for
workers,
city
construction
projects
and
that's
strictly
for
prevailing
wage,
so
just
to
clarify
that's
different
than
minimum
wage
or
sick
and
save
time.
This
is
for
projects
that
were
subject
to
prevailing
wage.
B
B
With
that,
that
concludes
my
presentation
of
the
2018
annual
contract
compliance
division
report.
I
would
like
to
thank
the
council
for
the
continued
support
of
the
division.
As
you
can
see
from
the
reported
numbers,
there's
been
an
increase
in
both
both
the
contracts
and
the
total
total
contract
dollars.
The
division
monitors
we're
also
working
to
certify
more
firms.
B
This
is
done
largely
as
a
reflection
of
the
market
for
construction,
which
is
very
high
right
now
and
as
well
as
some
feedback
we've
heard
from
council
members
about
the
desire
to
reach
out
to
more
firms
and
in
trying
to
certify
more
firms
as
well.
So
with
that
I'd
like
to
thank
you,
mr.
chair
for
the
opportunity
%
to
report
I'm
happy
to
field
any
questions
you
may
have
at
this
time.
A
Great,
thank
you.
Are
there
any
questions
for
my
colleagues
all
right,
seeing
none
I
do
have
one
question
around
the
the
goals.
If
you
can
go
back
to
that
slide,
there's
the
last
goals
that
you
there
we
go
so
for
the
workforce.
Inclusion,
I'm,
just
curious
as
to
what
plan
there
is
to
be
able
to
achieve
those
goals
and
they
work
forced
inclusion,
Thank.
B
You
mr.
chair
for
the
question
we
I,
one
of
the
things
I've
done
is
to
prep
I
reached
out
to
mark
Brenda,
who
is
the
he
works
on
sheephead
and
I,
had
his
right
here
and
I'm
going
to
pull
it
up
momentarily
here,
he's
the
director
of
training
and
employment
at
si
pad.
So
he
talked
about
somehow
treats
being
done
at
the
Cedar
Riverside
neighborhood,
where
they
are
working
with
the
unions
on
a
program
called
building
strong
communities.
B
So
nine
of
the
25
construction
trades
are
participating
in
that
and
that's
a
program
really
to
create
pre
pre-employment
pre-apprenticeship
training
with
for
residents
in
that
neighborhood
to
offer
them
more
opportunities.
That's
and
we
I'd
also
be
remiss
to
mention
we're
working
with
currently
exploring
a
possibility
of
partnering
with
st.
Paul,
the
Department
of
Human,
Rights,
MnDOT
and
potentially
other
government
agencies
in
the
region
and
in
the
state
to
offer
more
comprehensive
oversight
of
contractors
working
on
government
projects.
B
We
think
that
that
offers
some
optimism
and
promise
as
well
and
really
hopefully
again
when
you
know
we
were
talking
about
these
numbers
this.
These
are.
These
are
goals
set
by
the
Department
of
Human
Rights
they're,
adopted
by
Minneapolis.
We
want
to
reflect
that
as
both
a
city
value
and
what
we
think
needs
to
happen
frankly
for
the
construction
trades
to
fill
the
gap
of
people
that
are
retiring
and
are
stepping
out
of
this
work.
B
A
Thank
you,
alright
see
no
questions
or
comments.
Thank
you
very
much
for
this
presentation
with
your
annual
report
and
I
would
like
to
make
a
motion
to
receive
a
file
contract
compliance,
division,
2018
annual
report,
all
those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye,
aye
aye,
those
opposed,
say,
nay,
the
eyes
have
it,
and
that
item
carries
thank
you
again,
so
much
energy
to
not
only
mr.
Skippy,
but
also
direct
oral
as
well
for
your
leadership.
A
Our
last
item
on
today's
agenda
is
receiving
and
filing
an
update
related
to
the
public
safety
goal
area
of
the
city,
strategic
and
racial
equity
action
plan.
So
folks
know
for
the
public
record
we
have.
Within
this
committee,
we
have
Violence
Prevention
that
is
reported
to
this
committee
due
to
the
public
health
approach
with
in
violence
prevention,
as
well
as
youth
development
in
this
particular
goal
that
was
established
and
passed
by
the
City
Council
and
supported
by
the
mayor,
has
a
very
heavy
youth
development
aspect
to
it
focus
on
it.
A
E
You
mr.
chair
members
of
the
committee,
so
this
is
an
opportunity
for
us
to
dig
a
little
deeper
than
you've
had
a
chance
to
hear
about
this
particular
strategic
priority.
I
know
you
had
an
overview
and
you
adopted
some
of
the
foundational
work
so
I'd
like
to
thank
both
Josh
Peterson
and
others
in
our
office
of
violence
prevention
and
also
the
Coordinating
Board
staff
for
helping
us
pull
together
the
materials
today.
E
So
the
context
for
the
discussions
that
occurred
was
that
we
have
a
significant
population
of
young
people
living
in
high
violence
areas
in
Minneapolis
and
we'll
show
you
a
map
in
a
slide
or
two.
We
also
know
that
youth
development
programs
can
reduce
involvement
with
violence,
there's
literature
to
show
that,
and
we
know
that
funding
for
youth
development
programs
continues
to
decline.
This
is
a
true
statement,
but
one
that's
hard
for
us
to
quantify,
because
most
of
that
funding
does
not
flow
through
the
fingers
of
the
city.
E
It's
philanthropy,
it's
the
federal
government,
it's
the
state
government
and
the
funding
is
going
to
agencies
within
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
but
cumulatively,
there's
a
tremendous
impact
and
I
will
try
and
show
that
to
you.
As
the
group
met,
it
was
really
challenging
for
us
to
take
a
complex
idea
like
violence
and
kind
of
boil
it
down
in
this
process
of
finding
one
thing
to
do,
and
so
I
think
the
final
result
can't
be
regarded
as
the
only
strategy.
E
So
the
context
you'll
see
in
these
two
maps,
the
map
on
the
Left
highlights
the
significant
overlap
between
parts
of
the
city
with
high
concentrations
of
young
people
and
high
concentrations
of
violent
crime.
The
dark-colored
textured
boxes
show
where
there
is
an
overlap
between
those
two
and
then
the
map
on
the
right
shows
neighborhoods,
with
high
concentrations
of
people
of
color
and
so
from
the
two.
We
can
infer
that
young
people
of
color
are
particularly
at
risk
for
experiencing
the
burden
of
violence.
E
So
let
me
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
why
youth
development
and
Public
Safety
are
related,
so
peer
review.
Research
supports
the
idea
that
the
presence
of
protective
factors
can
lead
to
substantial
reductions
in
investment,
in
involvement
in
violence,
even
for
young
people
who
have
significant
risk
factors
for
involvement
and
violence
presence
locally.
The
wilder
Foundation
has
shown
some
social
return
on
investment
with
mentoring
programs.
Returning
almost
$3
for
every
dollar
invested
and
also
youth
intervention
programs
have
shown
a
return
on
investment
of
almost
$5
for
every
dollar
invested.
E
So
this
somewhat
elusive
context
of
funding.
We
tried
to
lay
it
out
here
for
you.
As
far
back
as
2002
to
2003,
we
saw
the
state
decrease
its
funding
in
youth
development
by
11,
almost
11,
and
a
half
million
dollars
of
that
three
to
four
million
dollars
came
directly
to
organizations
within
the
city
of
Minneapolis
and
for
a
number
of
years.
After
that
there
was
no
funding.
Then
in
2008-2009
there
was
a
little
bump,
but
that
funding
has
gone
away.
E
So
in
the
area
of
major
local
private
grants
for
after-school
to
main
after-school
providers
in
the
state's
gave
out
in
2009
about
16
million
dollars
in
the
same,
the
same
organizations
in
2018
gave
out
4
million,
and
these
grants
come
predominantly
from
the
McKnight
Foundation
Youth
Prize
and
United
Way.
The
majority
of
their
grants
are
in
the
metro
area
and
Minneapolis
is
very
significantly
represented.
Minneapolis
organizations
are
very
significantly
represented
in
the
grant
giving.
E
Thirdly,
the
federal
21st
century
Community
Learning
Center
grants
in
2019,
know
Minneapolis
based
programs
were
awarded.
We
believe
that
this
represents
about
a
2
million
dollar
additional
loss
of
funding.
So
I
don't
know
if
you
can
visualize
youth
programming,
but
you
get
a
lot
of
bang
for
your
buck,
shall
we
say,
and
so
that
massive
disinvestment
in
youth
programming
over
the
years
has
brought
us
to
where
we
are
today,
with
the
challenges
that
we
have
in
our
community.
A
D
E
So
to
return
to
the
s
reap
process,
the
strategic
need
and
the
policy
statements
that
were
adopted
by
City
Council
are
on
this
slide.
I'm
gonna
read
them
just
because
so
the
strategic
need
that
was
approved
by
City
Council
in
July
was
to
increase
the
number
of
black
indigenous
and
people
of
color
ages,
10
through
24
years
living
in
higher
violence,
areas
of
Minneapolis
who
participate
in
high-quality
youth
development
programs,
and
so
the
policy
statement
is
which
is
really
the
background
sort
of
restate
some
of
the
things
that
I've
told
you.
E
High
quality
youth
development
programs
offer
protective
social
opportunities
for
young
people
at
risk
of
involvement
with
violence.
Since
2003
funding
for
youth
programs
has
been
diminishing
across
Minnesota,
the
city
is
responsible
for
Public
Safety
of
all
residents,
including
social
and
community
protections.
E
An
absence
of
quality,
sustainable
and
culturally
responsive
programming
may
contribute
to
an
over-reliance
on
enforcement
as
the
primary
primary
method
of
ensuring
public
safety
youth
development
programs
that
provide
key
protective
factors
that
buffer
against
violence
must
be
a
part
of
the
city's
public
safety
approach,
so
that
was
voted
on
and
approved
by
the
City
Council
this
summer,
and
so
it
is
based
on
that
direction
that
we
are
trying
to
make
some
progress.
So
this
slide
I'm
gonna
focus
more
on
the
right-hand
side
of
this
slide.
E
The
second
metric
of
urgency
would
be
that
the
number
and
percent
of
black
indigenous
and
people
of
color
participants
in
each
high
quality,
culturally
responsive
youth
development
program,
and
so
this
would
then
lead
us
in
the
direction
of
that
goal.
A
decrease
in
the
number
of
youth
of
color
ages,
10
through
24
living
in
high
violence,
areas
who
are
reported
as
victims
or
perpetrators
of
violence,
and
so
then,
in
the
process.
E
This
leads
us
to
a
vital
few
projects
and
really
there
again
one
is
to
establish
a
permanent,
stable
source
of
funds
for
supporting
establishment,
maintenance
and
delivery
of
high-quality,
culturally
responsive
youth
development
programs
and
two
to
implement
the
system
of
monitoring
and
reporting.
The
existence
of
and
participation
in
programs
in
Minneapolis
by
neighborhood
I
actually
would
have
reversed
the
order
of
those
last
two,
because
we're
we're
not
really
deeply
capable
of
measuring
what
what
is
going
on
and
I
think
that
might
be
one
of
our
first
steps
so
potential
next
steps
and
I'm
thinking.
E
Ratification
in
some
cases,
like
definitions,
agree
upon
a
definition
of
high
violence
areas
in
Minneapolis,
so
that
we're
always
measuring
the
same
thing
agree
on
definitions
of
high-quality
and
culturally
responsive
youth
development,
and
then
the
projects
that
we
need
to
be
working
on
is
establishing
a
permanent,
stable
source
of
funds.
For
these
programs
and
implementing
a
system
to
monitor
and
report
them,
that's
what
really
I
think
the
next
step,
then,
is
for
us
to
gather
additional
input
from
all
of
you
and
set
the
stage
for
thinking
about
how
to
move
forward
in
these
processes.
E
So
just
to
dig
a
little
deeper
into
those
last
items
that
I
just
talked
about
in
terms
of
the
definition
of
high
violence
area.
We
were
using
some
of
it
to
make
the
maps
that
I
showed
you
today
and
so
building
on
that
we
can
continue
to
work
with
our
Health
Department
research
and
evaluation
division
within
our
department
and
then
working
with
the
police
department
and
the
violence
prevention.
Steering
committee
finalize
the
definition
and
bring
that
back
for
your
consideration,
also
in
identifying
a
definition
for
high
quality,
culturally
responsive
youth
development.
E
A
E
D
E
Right,
the
next
slide
is
talking
about
that
permanent,
stable
source
of
funding
and
I.
Think
yes,
and
so
we're
not
starting
from
scratch.
Here,
I
mean
the
2040
plan
that
was
just
adopted.
There's
a
statement
addressing
or
there's
a
section
addressing
the
importance
of
equitable
access
to
youth
programming,
so
we've
already
as
a
city
acknowledged
in
other
ways.
The
importance
of
this.
Our
city
legislative
agenda
has
language
in
it.
E
We
host
something
called
a
youth
cabinet
which
I'm
a
co-chair
of
that
is
representatives
from
various
departments
within
the
city
talking
about
youth
and
then,
of
course
we
are
an
active
member
of
the
youth
Coordinating
Board,
which
is
similar
interests
as
as
this
particular
strategic
priority,
so
onto
implementing
a
system
for
counting
monitoring
and
reporting
the
existence
of,
and
participation
and
youth
development
programs
in
Minneapolis,
we
have
some
possibilities.
The
Youth
Coordinating
Board
has
something
called
a
6
1
2
program
finder.
E
This
is
a
voluntary
program,
so
programs
voluntary
sign
up
to
have
their
information
shared
there
and
it
is
being
refreshed
and
so
that
we
think
once
that
website
is
refreshed.
Individuals
go
there
to
find
out
about
programming,
but
we
can
also
find
out
from
the
programs
what
kind
of
participation
they're
getting
in
their
programs.
So
we
think
that
that
that
is
a
foundation
upon.
We
can
lean
for
some
of
the
data
we're
looking
for
and
then,
if
I
use
fund
of
some
size
were
developed.
E
E
So
I
hope
this
has
been
somewhat
helpful
to
see
the
background
that
we're
working
with,
but
also
to
see
how
what
a
long
journey
we
have
to
accomplishing
some
progress
in
this
area.
Some
of
it
is
process
progress,
so
we
can
get
definitions
and
start
measuring.
Some
of
it
is
gonna,
be
a
little
heavier
lift
as
we
think
about
what
kind
of
partnerships
we
can
create
or
where
we
can
begin
to
reverse
this
declining
trend
of
support
for
youth
programming.
F
E
F
A
quick
question
on
the
rationale
for
that
drastic
cut
in
funding.
Well,
actually,
in
state
funding,
it
wouldn't
be
a
cut.
It
would
be
the
total
obliteration
of
youth
funding.
What
what's
the
rationale
that
was
that
you're,
aware
of
that
was
surrounding
those
series
of
decisions
and
pattern
to
not
invest
or
dis,
invest
in
youth
altogether.
Mr.
E
A
A
G
Mr.
chair
and
members
of
the
committee,
the
first
obliteration,
which
is
an
excellent,
was
an
unalloyed
meant
by
a
governor
Plante's
office.
There
was
one
year
in
which
they
were
able
to
get
one
year
of
funding,
and
then
it
did
not
get
continued
ignite
after
school,
which
I
serve
on
the
board
of
has
tried
now
for
about
five
years
to
get
some
additional
state
funding
and
because
of
the
political
situation
we
haven't
been
able
to
do
that.
G
F
Wonder,
could
you
provide
a
little
bit
more
information
in
the
most
recent
set
of
administration's
well,
the
most
recent
administration
under
governor
Dayton?
What
were
the
conversations
with
his
office
like
at
the
time?
Because,
if
we're
talking
about
since
2009
that's
ten
years
of
no
funding-
and
we
certainly
have
seen
leadership
change
in
in
the
state
legislature,
so
just
curious?
What
the
maybe
most
recent
four
or
five
years
have
entailed.
G
Councilmember,
the
governor's
office
was
supportive
of
additional
funding,
but
his
focus
was
on
early
childhood
funding
and
that's
where
he
spent
most
of
his
time
when
it
came
to
children
and
young
people,
and
so
it
was
not
a
high
priority
of
his
administration
really
to
work
on
after
school
funding.
Although
I
can
tell
you
that
lieutenant
governor
Smith
was
very
supportive,
I
had
met
with
her
a
number
of
times.
She,
by
the
way,
is
the
co-chair
of
the
Senate
US
Senate
caucus
on
afterschool.
G
So
she
was
very
supportive
and
very
excited
and
willing
to
work
on
it,
but
it
did
not
come
to
the
top
of
the
governor's
agenda
and
also
usually
one
of
the
bodies.
The
house
of
the
Senate
was
also
not
willing
to
take
it
up.
So
there
were
a
number
of
years
when
we
couldn't
even
get
a
hearing
at
in
the
last
ten
years.
F
Shifting
gears
a
little
bit
to
a
different
commissioner,
so
I
want
to
be
careful
that
what
we're
we're
not
saying
and
I,
don't
think
this
is
what
you're
saying,
but
just
want
to
make
it
clear
to
the
public
that
youth
equals
violence,
and
so
young
people
equals
violence,
but
I'm
curious
as
to
whether
there's
been
any
data
that
shows
a
correlation
between
the
disinvestment
of
opportunities
for
young
people
and
increase
in
any
particular
type
of
violent
acts,
whether
it's
more
use
of
guns
or
other
I'm,
just
trying
to
kind
of
connect.
E
E
I
would
imagine
that
it
has
even
longer
term
pay
off
beyond
violence
within
adolescence
and
young
adulthood,
because
you
know
that
certain
patterns
that
are
created
continue
longer
in
life.
I
think
it's
an
opportunity
to
see
results
sooner
by
looking
at
young
people
in
an
investment
with
an
investment
like
this,
but
I,
don't
think
it's
a
particular
type
of
violence
within
within
that
age
group.
It's
just
a
combination
of
brain
development
and
a
rapid
return
on
investment.
Thank.
F
up
until
2:00
or
3:00
in
the
morning,
and
really
figuring
out
what
kinds
of
wraparound
support
systems
and
strategies
we
can
implement
to
really
help
those
young
people
connect
to
a
mentor
and
adult
that
can
be
their
navigator,
their
coach,
their
source
of
support
as
we're
looking
at
issues
of
crime
and
safety
in
the
downtown
area.
And
some
of
the
conversations
relate
to
how
the
the
downtown
physical
buildings,
where
these
services
are
offered,
such
as
the
juvenile
supervision
center,
are
very
anti
youth
in
their
space
and
presentation.
F
So
it's
it's
not
very
obvious
that
there's
a
place
here
for
young
people,
so
just
thinking
for
to
the
future
and
understanding
that
the
city
does
have
a
lot
of
money
on
the
table
to
build
this
new
building.
We
can
have
a
direct
impact
on
that
now.
So
I
just
wanted
to
flag
that
for
my
colleagues
and
ask
for
your
support
and
figuring
out
how
we
can
make
that
about
a
more
suitable
location
for
young
people.
A
A
And
the
reason
why
I
want
to
clarify
that
is
because
we
actually
don't
have
any
walk
in
youth
development
centers
downtown.
So
that's
something
for
us
to
take
into
consideration.
I.
Think
long
term
is
there's
that
component
that
there
is
not
actually
walk
in
youth,
oriented
spaces
downtown,
but
also
I
can
say
at
my
ward,
for
example,
that
I
I
have
one
youth
serving
organizations
in
my
entire
board
and
I
have
a
large
swath
of
land.
A
In
my
ward
and
it's
a
youth
program,
it's
a
youth
music
program
and
it
can
only
serve
so
many
young
folks
and
that's
the
only.
We
have
parks
and
we
don't
even
have
like
any
arts
programming
or
like
we
have
football
and
basketball,
but
that's
basically
the
long
and
short
of
what
we
have
available
in
my
community.
And
so
if
we
were
to
have
more
youth
oriented
programming
for
from
ages.
That
ranges
from
ten
to
twenty
four.
A
We
might
not
see
so
many
young
folks
coming
downtown
so
that
they
have
somewhere
to
go
and
something
to
do,
and
so
I
think
that
that's
why
place-based
investments
are
really
important
and
and
just
thinking
about
the
fact
that
we
do
have
a
gap
and
I
know
that
this
has
been
a
long
conversation
like
20
years
or
so
about
like
there's
no
downtown
center
for
young
people
and
who's
responsible
for
addressing
that.
So,
like
that's,
been
a
longtime
conversation,
so
there's
a
couple
of
things.
A
First,
I
am
very
supportive
of
this
goal
in
the
perspective
of
as
a
former
youth
worker,
I
understand
and
I've
done
a
ton
of
research
and
understand
the
EM,
the
positive
impacts
and
implications
for
youth
development
programming,
not
only
on
helping
young
people
develop
into
well-adjusted
adults,
but
also
the
impact
of
between
2:00
and
7:00
p.m.
how
we
see
crime
go
down
in
that
time,
and
it's
pretty
logical
if
they're
not
out
on
the
streets,
then
they're
not
engaged
in
maladaptive,
behaviors
I.
A
A
So
there's
a
couple
of
process
questions
that
I
have.
The
first
is
the
the
fact
that
the
Health
Department
is
not
the
only
process
owner
the
Minneapolis
Police
Department
is
as
well.
Can
you
tell
me
a
little
bit
more
about
what
role
they've
played
in
this
particular
component
and
I?
Know
that's
going
Public
Safety
Committee,
so
we
can
have
a
much
deeper
conversation,
but
I
see
that
they're
not
here
today,
for
example,
what
role
have
they
played
and
will
they
play
with
a
youth
development,
oriented
goal?
Mr.
E
Chair
thanks
for
that
question,
they
were
active
participants
in
the
work
group.
The
chief
himself
was
there
and
a
number
of
his
staff
participated
as
conversations
developed.
We
wanted
to
recognize
that
some
of
these
programs
are
not
limited
to
what
the
city
finances
with
that
$300,000.
Certainly,
our
Police
Athletic
League
and
the
relationships
between
the
SROs
and
the
bike.
Cops
and
youth
are
all
part
of
that
big
web
of
connectivity
between
adults
and
children.
E
So
we
think
that
they,
even
though
it
isn't
something
that
looks
strictly
public
safety
in
orientation,
that
there
is
a
role
for
the
police
in
implementing
this
as
well.
Having
said
that,
you
are
correct,
they
are
not
here.
I
have
shared
the
PowerPoint
with
them
and
invited
them
and
hope
that
we
will
have
some
representation
when
we
go
to
the
Public
Safety
Committee.
Thank.
A
You
for
that
I
want
to
make
a
suggestion
to
that
folk,
the
various
folks
who
are
in
charge
of
this,
that
maybe
we
should
consider
adding
the
Coordinating
Board
as
a
process
owner
given
again.
This
is
a
youth
development,
oriented
goal,
and
that
is
the
organising
body
across
the
city,
so
I
think
it
would
across
jurisdictions.
A
I
think
it
might
make
sense
and
then
I
had
one
more
question
and
then
I'll
turn
it
over
to
my
colleagues
here
who
have
some
questions
so
councilmember
worst,
Tommy
and
I
have
been
working
on
a
youth
development
fund
in
part,
we've
been
having
conversations
with
you.
Coordinating
board
has
also
been
having
conversations
about
a
youth
fund
and
within
the
proposal
that
cosmo,
bersama
and
I
worked
on.
It
addresses
actually
both
of
the
vital
few
projects
that
have
been
identified
for
this
this
plan,
it's
supposed
to
be
a
strategic
plan
for
five
years.
A
If
we
are
fortunate
and
the
mayor
and
the
City
Council
and
creates
a
fund
next
year,
then
there
will
be
two
years
of
like
I
mean
it
will
be
rolling
out,
but
you
know
like
there
won't
necessarily
be
active
work
and
process
change.
That's
happening,
I'm
just
curious
about,
because
it's
like
we
could
just
check
the
box
and
say
cool
we've
done
that
and
and
so
it
feels
kind
of
like
a
little
bit
more
short-term.
How
do
you
see
this
fitting
into
more
of
a
long
term?
Violence,
prevention,
strategy.
E
Mr.
chair
I
think
that's
a
wonderful.
That
would
be
a
wonderful
scenario
if
we
could
get
that
done
really
quickly
and
if
so,
then
I
think
one.
We
will
need
to
continue
to
measure
it
and
see
how
successful
it
is
and
if
it's
reaching
the
young
people
that
we
hope
and
need
to
be
reaching
according
to
this
plan
and
then
I.
A
C
Well,
I
really
appreciate
the
report
here
and
I
think
there's
lots
of
evidence
out
there
that
says
that
after
school
and
youth
development
funding
is
worth
the
investment
and
there's
lots
of
research
that
goes
way
back
to
the
90s
and
even
related
to
crime
reduction
in
terms
of
being
victims
or
youth
to
get
involved
with
law
enforcement,
and
there's
there's
lots
of
that
out
there
from
experts
across
the
country
who
looked
at
that.
I.
C
Think
that
and
I
didn't
really
know
that
there's
a
youth
funding
work
going
on,
but
I
think
that's
something
that
this
committee
could
perhaps
hold
on
to
and
grab
on
to.
I
know
that
there
Baltimore,
for
example,
has
a
has
a
youth
fund
where
there's
a
certain
percentage
I
think
it's
a
percentage,
but
some
of
their
property
tax,
general
fund
revenue
just
goes
to
a
youth
fund
and
I
think
they
have
12
million
dollars
a
year
or
something
like
that.
I
think
it
would
be
helpful.
C
Maybe
if
the
committee
or
the
council
in
general
had
an
awareness
of
what
are
the
alternatives.
What
we're
gonna
hear
here
is
this
should
be
a
state
problem
or
the
feds
should
fund
this,
or
the
county
should
take
this
on
or
what
about
the
park?
The
schools,
so
we're
gonna
have
a
lot
of
navigating
to
do
here.
To
say
this
should
be
a
city
if
we
think
it
is,
you
know
it
should
be
a
city
responsibility
in
some
way.
C
What
could
we
do
to
lead
on
it
or
get
matches,
and
it
might
be
interesting
to
learn
a
little
bit
more
about
what
other
cities
have
done
or
what
ideas
are
being
discussed
right
now?
I,
certainly
am
supportive
of
the
youth,
Coordinating
Board
being
involved.
I
know
we
I
mean
I,
think
it'll
be
important
for
them
to
to
meet
as
a
group
and
say
we
want
to
be
involved
and
make
this
a
priority.
It
also
might
be
a
way
to
leverage
our
other
jurisdictions
to
participate
in
it
with
us.
C
I
can
tell
you
the
youth,
Coordinating
Board
has
had
presentations
on
the
problem.
We've
looked
at
it
and
we've
even
had
presentations
about
a
youth
fund
and
what
that
might
look
like
and
I
think
that's,
probably
where
I
learned
about
Baltimore,
but
it's
definitely
a
topic
that
I
think
our
partners
at
the
park
board
and
the
schools
would
be
very
interested
in
I.
C
Think
the
parks
and
schools
probably
implement
more
youth
programming
than
other
entities
in
Minneapolis,
so
they
would
probably
be
interested
in
seeing
what
resources
could
help
give
them,
but
I
also
understand
it
from
couple
council.
Members
are
deep
along
the
path
toward
something
that
might
even
come
up
as
a
budget
amendment
this
year.
Is
that
what
I
was
hearing
no.
D
A
C
E
G
F
F
So
just
thinking
ahead,
acknowledging
that
the
link
and
others,
including
MPD,
have
expressed
the
interest
in
making
the
new
location
of
the
supe
juvenile
supervision
Center
more
accessible,
more
youth
oriented
to
have
a
more
welcoming
sense
of
place
so
just
wanted
to
make
that
clarification,
that
it's
not
that
that's
what
it
currently
is,
but
that
folks
are
hungry.
For
that.
That's
been
an
identified
solution,
but
the
constraints
of
this
current
building
prevent
us,
meaning
all
of
the
folks
who
are
at
the
table
working
on
the
juvenile
supervision
center.
To
allow
that
to
happen.
A
Are
there
any
other
questions
or
comments
for
my
colleagues
all
right?
Thank
you
so
much
to
everybody
who
has
been
involved
with
this
process.
It
was
a
long
and
daunting
process.
Just
another
shout
out
of
gratitude
to
my
colleague,
council
vice-president
Jenkins,
who
led
the
process
overall.
I
think
that
this
work
is
incredibly
important.
Our
city
really
is
asking
for
us
to
invest
in
public
safety
strategies
and
we
look
at.
A
We
have
to
be
looking
at
the
in
comprehensive
approach
to
public
safety,
and
so
I'm
really
grateful
that
were
thinking
innovatively
around
this
and
that
we're
looking
upstream
and
thinking
being
proactive
rather
than
reactive
and
so
I
think
that
this
is
really
important
work
and
a
really
big
gap
that
we
currently
have
in
our
governing
infrastructure.
On
that
Thank
You,
commissioner
I
would
like
to
move
approval
of
receiving
and
filing
the
update
related
to
the
public
safety
goal
area
of
the
city,
strategic
and
racial
equity
action
plan.
