B
You
chair
Palmisano
good
afternoon,
everyone,
my
name,
is
Danielle
Shelton,
volchok
I'm,
the
co
deputies
say
coordinator
and
I'll,
be
first
of
all,
providing
a
brief
update
of
what
we've
been
doing
in
the
city
coordinators
office
and
then
with
Kathy
Doty
I'll
be
discussing
some
of
our
work
with
Metro
lab.
So
to
begin.
B
The
coordinators
office
is
in
the
process
of
bringing
on
a
business
analyst
tentatively
starting
next
week
and
a
project
manager
to
allow
us
to
start
business
mapping
and
identifying
how
will
function
as
a
city
in
the
new
PSA
office
space
in
the
next
week
we'll
be
convening
the
three
new
departments
that
were
the
three
new
departments
which
were
finance
IGR
and
the
attorneys
office
who
were
added
to
the
art
staff
direction.
We're
convening
them
to
provide
the
necessary
background.
B
Since
the
original
staff
direction
has
since
expired
in
the
coordinators
office
is
working
with
various
city
departments
such
as
fire
regulatory
services
and
see
ped
and
has
connected
to
mPHA
to
review
operational
procedures
in
the
wake
of
the
fire
that
that
just
took
place,
and
that
is
it
before
I
go
to
the
presentation
and
stand
for
any
questions,
I'd
like
to
introduce
Renee
young
she's
in
the
audience
here
she
was
just
added
to
the
city
coordinators
office.
She
is
our
new
policy
research
and
management
analyst.
B
B
Yeah
Symetra
lab
today,
myself
and
Kathy
Doty,
who
is
with
me
of
Metro,
lab,
we'll,
be
giving
you
a
brief
presentation
about
the
program,
slash
network
and
how
it
has
been
and
can
be
used
by
its
participant
cities.
Our
hope
today
is
to
provide
an
understanding
of
all
the
suite
of
of
opportunities
that
we
can
utilize
in
minneapolis
via
our
participation
in
this
work.
As
a
brief
history,
the
city
of
minneapolis,
along
with
st.
Paul
and
the
University
of
Minnesota,
were
founding
mint
founding
members
of
Metro
lab
in
the
local
Metro
lab
in
2015.
B
So,
as
I
stated,
Metro
lab
is
a
consortium
of
cities
and
universities
around
the
country
and
as
of
today,
there
are
30
cities,
approximately
30
cities
and
30
universities
who
are
participating.
The
goal
for
cities
and
local
universities
is
to
collaborate
and
solve
and
solve
challenging
and
solve
challenging
problems
facing
urban
areas.
B
Our
local
Metro
lab
group
is
comprised
of
the
following
people
and
governments,
so
we
have
Kathy
Doty
who's
here
with
us.
She
works
out
of
Kyra
and
she's
a
metro
lab
coordinator,
and
then
the
participants
of
course,
are
the
University
of
Minnesota,
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
the
city
of
st.
Paul
in
Hennepin,
County.
B
So
why
are
we
are
we
involved,
and
why
did
we
start
this?
The
universities
have
expertise
in
research
and
development
of
technologies,
metrics
evaluations
and
range
of
other
things:
the
cities
as
a
city.
We
have
expertise
and
understanding,
infrastructure
issues,
community
and
programmatic
needs
as
well
as
we
also
have
the
expertise
to
deploy
technologies,
metrics
and
evaluations.
When
we
put
all
of
that
together,
we
get
some
of
the
advantages
indicated
on
the
slide.
B
You
see
in
front
in
front
of
you,
such
as
meaningful,
relevant
research,
development
and
deployment
of
solutions,
resource
data
and
findings
shared
across
multiple
jurisdictions,
with
other
cities
and
better
inform
public
policy
and
practice
and,
of
course,
through
our
utilization
of
of
students
within
the
University
of
Minnesota.
They
get
exposure
to
working
in
city
government
and
it
creates
a
pipeline
for
us
of
a
new
workforce.
C
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Okay,
I'm,
a
University
of
Minnesota
employee,
but
I
also
am
a
resident
of
the
city
of
Minneapolis
I've
been
Ward
13.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
having
me
here.
So
why
did
the
University
care
about
this
Metro
lab
consortium
network
when
they
were
invited
to
participate?
They
said?
C
Well,
we
we
really
care
about
being
relevant
to
our
local
communities,
so
at
the
state
and
to
the
whole
world
and
as
a
matter
of
fact,
they
in
2015
they
did
some
strategic
planning
and
they
asked
their
faculty
and
other
people
to
say
what
what
does
that
mean
to
be
a
land-grant
University
and
to
be
engaged
in
affecting
our
communities,
and
so
they
identified
what
they've
got
here.
Five
kind
of
Grand
Challenge
areas
and
there
are
they
kind
of
overlap,
but
starting
with
the
top
there
one
is
assuring
clean
water
and
sustainable
ecosystems.
C
Clearly,
that's
a
that's
an
important
thing
where
they
can
add
a
lot
of
value,
fostering
just
in
equitable
communities,
enhancing
individual
and
community
capacity,
advancing
health
of
course,
and
feeding
the
world
sustainably.
So
they
see
those
are
areas
where
the
university
can
have
a
special
contribution
to,
like
I,
said
our
own
communities,
our
state,
our
country
and
the
and
the
whole
world.
C
Let
me
say
before,
though,
before
I
move
on
from
this,
though
I
want
to
mention,
though,
that
that
was
done
in
2015.
As
you
know,
we
have
new
leadership
now
the
president
I
believe
came
and
met
with
you
about
a
month
ago,
and
she
also
has
recently
hired
a
new
executive
vice
president
and
provost
I
was
going
to
be
starting
in
March,
Rachel,
Crowson,
and
so
those
are
they're
probably
going
to
put
a
new
twist
on
the
strategic
direction
when
they
get
going
and
so
I
think.
C
But
you
can
look
forward
to
I
think
more
of
the
same
in
terms
of
demonstrating
what
it
means
to
be
a
land-grant
University
and
having
an
impact
and
honor
local
communities
and
working
with
our
local
communities.
So
just
to
give
you
an
idea,
we've
kind
of
giving
the
high-level
picture
there,
but
some
specific
projects
just
to
give
you
a
sense.
These
are
some
of
the
things
that
we've
posted
to
the
Metro
lab
network.
C
From
Minneapolis,
I'm
sure
you're,
aware
of
the
study
that
evaluates
the
future
directions
of
the
ABC
ramps
in
downtown
Minneapolis
and
those
ramps
were
completed
in
1992
as
a
part
of
us
with
CMAC
funds
and
and
the
idea
was
to
reduce
congestion
and
improve
air
quality
by
reducing
single
occupancy
vehicle
trips
and
the
i3
94
corridor.
But
things
have
changed
over
time
and
now
there
there's
a
study
to
examine
opportunities
for
ensuring
that
the
ramps
will
continue
to
address
transportation
challenges
over
the
next
25
years.
C
So
that's
one
of
the
projects
that's
going
on
in
st.
Paul.
They
are
identifying
racial
disparities
in
the
criminal
justice
system
in
ways
that
their
City
Attorney's
Office
can
contribute
to
reducing
disparities
at
each
point
in
the
life
cycle
of
a
case.
So
there's
lots
of
different
opportunities
to
improve
things
there
and
one
just.
C
This
is
strengthening
families
and
dealing
with
children,
so
they
also
are
conducting
a
pilot
intervention
project
with
parent
navigators,
and
the
idea
is
that
down
the
road
they
want
to
have
and
develop
community
outreach
systems
with
a
pilot
of
parent
navigators
to
broad
and
the
Hennepin
County
Public
Health
thrive
by
five
and
follow
along
and
WIC
programs.
So
those
are
just
again
some
examples.
D
Thank
you,
Jeff
Olson
I
am
very
interested
in
thinking
through
opportunities
to
engage
this,
but
I
guess
one
thing
I'm
wondering
about
is:
can
you
point
to
projects
where
it's
generated
a
set
of
recommendations
or
an
understanding
of
best
practices
or
how
to
proceed
in
a
way
that
cities
have
acted
on?
Has
any
of
this
translated
from
research
into
some
sort
of
a
work
product?
That
then,
was
an
action
yep,
or
are
we
still
working
towards
getting
to
that
I?
Think.
C
That
varies
quite
a
bit,
but
I
think
there
have
been
a
lot
of
recommendations
that
have
been
followed
up
in,
but
this
there
are
so
many
that
I
don't
know
exactly
how
to
pinpoint.
But
if
you
look
at
Denver's
doing
stuff,
where
they've
developed
a
decision
tool
to
assess
the
effects
of
climate
change
in
growth
on
on
the
built
environment,
so
I
mean
they're
using
that
tool.
Nashville
is
looking
at
predictive
modeling
to
forecast
emergency
response
times.
C
Portland
is
is
looking
at.
How
could
how
to
do
more
data-driven
decision-making
and
program
design
in
the
evaluation
and
that's
a
little
bit
more
fuzzy,
but
that's
something
that
are
they
were
interested
in.
Austin
is
looking
at
tools
to
analyze
traffic,
Road
use
and
pedestrian
behavior
patterns,
I'm
so
and
I
could
go
on
and
on,
but
I
think
I'd
prefer
to
follow
up
with
you
and
give
you
a
little
bit
more.
Very
specific
changes
that
have
occurred.
C
I'm
also
aware
of
like
in
Hennepin
County,
one
of
the
ones
I
think
of
right
away
is
that
they
worked
with
the
Carlson
school.
Their
data
analytics
lab
program
and
the
students
actually
created
a
predictive
algorithm
to
look
at
the
probability
of
families
being
evicted
from
their
their
their
homes
and
with
existing
data,
and
the
county
is
presently
using
that
to
try
to
say
figure
out
ways
to
intervene
before
the
eviction
occurs.
Based
on
the
algorithm,
that's
that
was
generated
by
a
classroom
of
graduate
students.
D
C
Just
letting
Danielle
know
I
mean
I'll,
be
interfacing
with
Danielle
on
a
regular
basis,
she's
fun
to
work
with
so
Danielle.
We
talk
on
a
regular
basis
and
there
there
are
just
many
many
different
ways
that
we
approach
a
request
like
that.
Sometimes
it's
just
me
know
with
a
faculty
member
that
you
should
talk
to.
We
just
set
that
up.
Sometimes
we're
not
really
sure
and
like
right
now.
Hannah
Penn
County
is
looking
at
their
IT
program
and
doing
some
strategic
planning.
C
We
are
pulling
in
we're
gonna
develop
a
meeting
where
we're
gonna
have
maybe
faculty
from
five
or
six
different
schools
come
and
talk
to
the
county
and
say
so.
Who's
got
an
idea
for
how
to
approach
this
best
and
then
that
will
set
up.
So
sometimes
we
know
where
to
go.
Sometimes
we
have
to
do
a
little
bit
of
research
on
the
front
end
to
figure
out
where
it
where
it
goes.
I.
A
Think
I
would
echo
that
mitchelton
Monza.
Can
you
help
us
understand
how
Metro
labs
is
currently
connected
to
the
work
of
committees?
Is
it
truly
just
the
connection
through
the
coordinators
office
and
right
now
that
position
that
it
connects
through
is?
Is
you
and
from
your
own
perspective?
Second
part
of
this
question:
do
you
see
a
way
to
better
connect
the
great
resource
and
great
work
of
metro
labs
into
some
of
the
work
and
question?
B
What
has
essentially
as
I,
see
it
is
that
the
city
coordinators
office
is
really
the
conduit
at
this
point
in
in
getting
to
Kathy
Doty
in
Metro
lab
and
regarding
regarding
things
that
we
might
want
to
work
on
as
a
city.
My
hope
here
was
not
only
to
pique
the
interest
of
councilmembers
you
all,
but
also
then
try
to
figure
out
and
develop
a
way
in
which
we
can
start
through
the
coordinators
office.
Getting
this
message
out
and
understanding
the
suite
of
opportunity.
B
So,
that's
something
that,
from
my
perspective,
being
in
the
coordinators
office,
how
do
I
work
with
Kathy
in
getting
out
the
messaging
to
departments
and
how,
when
we're
looking
at
creating
policy
or
development
or
developing
programs,
or
we
want
to
analyze
programs,
how
do
we
let
them
know
that
this
is
a
resource
that
is
available
to
them.
Does
that
answer
your
question
a
bit
yeah.
A
Are
there
other
questions
or
comments
for
my
colleagues?
No
I
think
it
is
important
to
understand
that
that
Master
Agreement
with
the
university
is
no
small
body
of
work
and
right
now,
I
guess
Rene
would
be
kind
of
the
person
taking
over
that,
but
just
so
that
my
colleagues
and
other
policymakers
understand
the
way
to
you
put
feelers
out
to
something
like
Metro
lab
might
be
through
the
master
contract
with
the
university
Minnesota.
A
But
it
really
would
be
a
conversation
with
you
to
engage
with
Miss
Doty
on
what
opportunities
might
exist
or
just
to
get
advice.
I
mean
something
I
heard.
Miss
Doty
say
that
would
be
particularly
helpful.
As
simply
is
there
somebody
currently
doing
research
that
you
know
of
about
whatever
topic.
That
is
a
question
that
I
did
have
that
I
just
wanted
to
attend
a
little
bit
more.
You
have
health
in.
There
is
one
of
the
key
areas
of
focus
of
metro
labs,
I'm,
not
sure
that
I
see
it.
A
There
was
earlier
okay
Oh
advancing
health
yeah.
Can
you
help
understand
advancing
health
through
tailored
solutions
in
our
world?
In
this
view,
Minneapolis
the
topic
of
health
means
a
a
lot
and
it
also
touches
on
people's
feelings
of
Public
Safety
and
people's
actual
access
to
safe
spaces.
And
could
you
help
us
understand
the
kind
of
current
things
going
on
around
advancing
health
that
is
being
looked
at
or
researched
through
metro
loads
and
that
might.
C
Well,
Metro
lab
again
is
a
network
that
spans,
as
you
mentioned
many
many
many
many
yes
different
states.
So
there's
we
would
have
to
take
a
look
at
that
I'm
sure
there's
many
many
things
going
on,
but
we
have
really
have
a
bountiful
amount
of
expertise
here
at
the
University
of
Minnesota,
with
the
School
of
Public
Health
and
the
academic
health
center
in
the
medical
school.
So
they're
really
and
I
should
mention
the
nursing
school.
We
definitely
don't
do
enough
for
the
nursing
school,
but
there
are
so.
C
There
are
many
many
projects,
I
think
what
I
always
say
it.
A
local
government
is
that,
rather
than
trying
to
figure
out
what's
available
at
the
University-
and
that's
that's
not
a
bad
thing
to
do,
but
it's
good
to
tee
up
what
it
is
that
you
want.
What
are
the
questions
you
have
and
what?
What
are
the
kind
of
things
that
you
can't
resolve
with
the
resources
that
you
have
and
then
that's
where
we
can
then
start
doing
a
good
job?
C
A
Think
my
question
was
more:
are
there
are
so
many
things
available
through
the
university
and
research
being
worked
on
to
advance
health?
Are
there
any
in
particular
off
the
top
of
your
head
that
can
really
be
brought
to
bear
for
Minneapolis
and
st.
Paul
or
Hennepin
County
right
now,
in
some
of
the
current
work
that
you're
doing
I.
C
Think
that
really
screening
and
early
intervention
was
health-related,
the
one
that
I
gave
of
that
example
that
I
gave
before
I'm
not
sure
if
I
can
I
can't
think
of
another
one
right
now,
which
is
really
bad
because
there's
so
many
things
going
on
I'm
sure
I'm
sure
I
can
follow
up,
though,
and
give
you
more
examples.
Yeah.
B
So,
just
in
summation,
I
just
wanted
to
kind
of
put
in
this
slide
together
a
list
of
possibilities
of
the
way
metro
labs
can
be
maestro
lab
can
be
used.
We
can
do
a
detailed
examination
of
our
known
city
problems.
We
can
get
programming
concept,
evaluation,
creation
of
that
of
methodologies,
creation
of
predictive
models,
workshop
collaboration,
volunteer
access,
feasibility
and
analysis
and
strategy
development.
A
A
Next,
we
have
postponed
the
million
dollar
three-year
contract,
extensions
for
neutral
workplace
investigations
for
a
thr,
specific
investigations,
and
instead
we
have
NRC
a
before
us
that
will
be
presented
by
miss
Fernandez
or
mr.
Bernard
II.
In
regards
to
the
current
business
at
hand,
we
need
to
take
care
of
today
welcome.
F
Mr.
Benitez
good
afternoon,
chair
Palmisano
and
committee
members,
this
is
a
just
a
simple
next
amendment
of
an
existing
contract.
The
current
contract
actually
goes
found
out,
December
31st
of
2020,
and
we
have
some
work
that
is
going
on
as
you
know,
and
because
the
other
RFP
and
of
related
contracts
are
taking
a
little
longer
than
we
expected.
We
want
to
be
able
to
pay
those
same
voices
that
are
coming
in
and
so
where
HR
is
asking
for
$50,000
increase
for
the
existing
contract.
Mr.
A
E
Good
afternoon
council
member
Palmisano
members
of
the
enterprise
committee,
my
name,
is
chuck
regarding
with
a
human
or
human
resources
department,
ad
HR,
ad
and
H
R
stands
for
anti
discrimination,
harassment,
retaliation
and
under
federal
law
state
law.
We
required
to
investigate
complaints
of
harassment,
discrimination,
nation
based
on
protected
class
status
from
time
to
time,
the
city
outsources
these
investigations
to
private
firms.
In
these
case.
In
these
cases,
their
law
firms
are
lawyers,
and
those
are
usually
done.
E
When
there's
a
high-level
official
has
been
accused
or
alleged
to
have
done
something
wrong
in
violation
of
the
city's
ad
and
HR
policy,
it
could
be
a
department
head,
it
could
be
an
elected
official
and
because
of
the
high-profile
nature
of
those
cases,
in
most
cases,
they've
been
outsourced
to
a
third-party
vendor
versus
doing
it.
Internally,
we
have
two
full-time
investigators
in
our
office.
They
generally
do
the
other
investigations
that
are
done
each
year
on
an
ongoing
basis.
A
Thank
you
that's
clear
to
me,
because
we've
been
working
with
this
for
the
past
few
weeks.
Are
there
any
questions,
though,
from
my
committee
members
on
this
contract
item,
so
this
contract
item
would
suffice
to
complete
the
employment
investigations
that
are
outstanding
as
well
as
pay
things
that
have
happened
in
2019?
Is
that
your
understanding
can't.
E
Remember
Palmisano:
we
have
approximately
outstanding
invoices
in
the
amount
of
I,
believe
$18,000,
and
we
had
this
new
investigation.
Just
came
about
I.
Don't
have
any
details
on
that
I'm
not
in
the
need
to
know,
but
depending
on
the
complexity,
the
number
of
interviews
I
would
say
that
up
to
$50,000
should
suffice.
Thank.
A
You
well,
if
no
other
further
questions
for
my
colleagues,
I
think
we
can
dispense
with
this
I
would
recommend
this
for
approval
again.
I
have
had
a
meeting
with
director
Ferguson,
who
has
been
doing
a
lot
of
work
as
to
how
we
could
better
do
these
types
of
things
in
the
future,
to
fulfill
our
obligations
to
our
employees
and
also
do
them
in
a
meaningful
way.
All
those
in
favor
of
this
action,
please
signify
by
saying
aye,
aye
opposed
that
carries.
Thank
you
for
your
help.
Thank.
