From YouTube: October 23, 2019 Committee of the Whole
Description
Minneapolis Committee of the Whole Meeting
https://lims.minneapolismn.gov
A
We
are
meeting
a
little
earlier
than
we
typically
do
on
Wednesdays,
but
my
name
is
Andrea
Jenkins
and
I
am
the
chair
of
this
committee
and
with
me
at
the
dynastar,
councilmembers,
Palmisano,
Johnson
or
Sami
Schrader
comes
from
Weber's,
Cunningham,
Fletcher
and
Reich.
Let
the
record
reflect
that
we
do
have
a
quorum
and
colleagues,
we
have
two
items
on
today's
agenda
in
addition
to
our
community
reports,
and
we
will
begin
with
item
number
1,
which
relates
to
the
2020.
B
Morning,
madam
vice
president,
members
of
the
committee,
my
name
is
KC
Carr
Lee,
the
privilege
of
serving
as
city
clerk
with
support
from
council
leadership.
The
clerk's
office
is
bringing
forward
a
proposed
revision
to
the
2020
calendar
previously
adopted
on
November
16
2018.
Prior
notice
of
the
proposed
revision
was
given,
and
the
revised
calendar
with
a
few
amendments,
as
presented
today
for
your
consideration.
Copies
were
previously
circulated
to
all
council
members.
You
should
also
have
copies
at
your
desks.
B
As
always,
the
official
calendar
lists
the
dates
and
times
of
regular
meetings
for
the
full
council
and
for
each
of
its
standing
policy
committees,
as
well
as
the
independent
audit
and
executive
committees
in
preparing
the
calendar
staff,
follows
long-standing
guidelines
with
respect
to
the
observance
of
various
holidays,
significant
dates
of
interest
and
other
known
events
and
activities.
Looking
at
the
draft
calendar,
there
are
a
total
of
23
regular
meetings
of
the
full
City
Council,
which
are
shown
in
black.
This
is
roughly
in
line
with
the
number
of
full
council
meetings
from
prior
years.
B
There
are
also
a
total
of
8
Ward
work
weeks,
which
are
shaded
in
light
gray.
These
are
generally
aligned
with
holidays
and
chorus
with
work
weeks
and
prior
years.
The
notable
exception
here
is
the
adjustment
to
the
ward
rig
planned
in
September,
which
leads
into
Labor
Day,
rather
than
following
it
as
in
prior
years.
This
was
intentionally
changed
to
better
align
with
the
schedule
followed
by
the
Minneapolis
Public
School.
B
The
other
major
improvement
to
the
revised
calendar
is
the
inclusion
of
the
budget
committees
planned
regular
meetings
for
2020,
thanks
to
the
proactive
work
of
councilmember
Palmisano
and
her
team
you'll
see
that
these
have
been
added
in
dark
gray.
Dates
have
been
added
to
the
months
of
March,
April
and
May
to
accommodate
departmental
presentations
of
results,
reports
similar
to
this
year's
calendar
and
then
again,
the
budget
committees.
B
Regular
meetings
tied
to
the
2021
budget
have
been
penciled
in
as
well
in
the
months
of
September,
October,
November
and
December,
and
again
these
matched
similar
scheduling
practices
from
prior
years.
The
draft
has
been
circulated
to
all
city
departments
as
well,
along
with
a
reminder
that,
in
addition
to
not
scheduling,
public
facing
meetings
or
events
on
official
holidays
departments
also
are
not
to
conduct
public
facing
meetings
or
events
on
dates
of
special
interest
that
are
identified
on
the
council's
calendar.
These
are
denoted
with
either
an
asterisk
or
an
X.
B
Finally,
the
calendar
reflects
dates
of
the
two
annual
conferences
hosted
by
the
National
League
of
Cities.
Those
dates
are
shown
in
parentheses,
every
year
in
March
and
November
staff
requests
favorable
consideration
of
the
draft
calendar
with
the
direction
the
clerk's
office
published
and
posts
to
the
calendar
in
accordance
with
minnesota
statutes.
Chapter

and

update
and
maintain
these
calendars
throughout
the
coming
year
is
necessary
to
accommodate
the
needs
of
the
council.
With
that
I've
concluded
my
presentation,
Madam
President
I'm
happy
to
respond
to
any
questions.
A
B
Vice
president,
you
are
correct.
The
dates
shown
on
the
calendar
on
March,
3rd,
August,
11th
and
November
3rd
are
the
dates
of
the
three
presidential
related
elections
we
have.
Next
year.
We
will
have
a
presidential
nominating
primary
on
March
3rd.
We
will
have
the
regular
statewide
primary
August
11th
and
then
the
general
presidential
election
on
November
3rd.
C
A
D
You,
madam
vice
president
committee
members,
we're
happy
to
be
here
this
morning.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
A
little
background
before,
where
we
are
today
in
the
next
steps,
the
Metropolitan
Land
Planning
Act
requires
municipalities
in
the
Twin
Cities
area
to
provide
the
Metropolitan
Council
with
an
updated,
comprehensive
plan
every
ten
years.
The
comprehensive
plan
must
be
consistent
with
the
metropolitan
councils.
Regional
development
guide
thrive,
MSP
2040
that
sets
the
direction
for
the
region's
growth
and
development.
D
Local
communities
are
served
by
regional
systems
planned
by
the
Met
Council,
including
housing,
transportation,
wastewater
collection,
collection
and
treatment
and
regional
parks.
As
you
all
know,
starting
in
mid
2015,
our
long-range
planning,
team
and
leadership
met
with
department,
heads
and
other
city
leadership
on
the
Comprehensive
Plan
Update
process,
and
began
a
discussion
about
citywide
policy
priorities
and
the
budget
implications
for
the
planning
process.
It
was
clear
early
in
this
process.
D
The
participants
wanted
minneapolis
2040
our
comprehensive
plan
to
accomplish
more
than
just
meeting
the
metropolitan
councils,
minimum
requirements
and
so
to
this
end,
in
2016,
the
City
Council
approved
a
civic
engagement
calendar
directing
staff
to
implement
an
extensive
list
of
community
engagement
activities,
and
this
outreach
process
continued
for
several
years.
Excuse
me,
including
periodic
briefings
of
City
Council
members
and
the
mayor's
office
during
more
than
two
years
of
subsequent
engagement,
the
people
of
Minneapolis
shared
their
vision
and
hopes
for
the
city
and
its
future.
D
A
main
theme
voiced
was
that
as
the
city
grows,
everyone
must
benefit
from
that
growth.
Historically,
this
has
not
been
the
way
it
has
been
and
not
everyone
has.
This
plan
is
one
opportunity
to
undo
barriers
and
overcome
inequities
created
by
a
history
of
policies
in
our
city
that
have
prevented
equitable
access
to
housing,
jobs
and
investments.
D
The
plan
reflects
the
result
of
more
than
two
years
of
engagement
with
the
people
of
Minneapolis,
including
over
100
meetings
and
conversations
with
thousands
of
residents,
business
owners
and
others.
Public
feedback
directly
helped
to
establish
priorities
and
inform
the
content
of
the
plan
from
March
until
July
of
2018.
D
The
Met
Council
authorized
the
city
of
Minneapolis
to
put
the
plan
into
effect,
determining
that's
on
September
25th
of
this
year
that
they're
meeting
that
the
plan
conforms
to
the
regional
system.
Plans
is
consistent
with
thrive,
MSP
2040
and
is
consistent
with
regional
forecasts
for
growth,
while
the
Minneapolis
2040
comp
plan
is
intended
to
meet
the
requirements
of
state
statute
and
the
Metropolitan
Council.
The
plan
also
has
particular
significance
for
Minneapolis
in
a
time
of
population
and
employment
growth.
The
city
alone
cannot
implement
the
policies
in
the
comprehensive
plan.
D
This
will
require
collaboration,
enterprise-wide
and
partnerships
with
external
agencies
and
institutions
to
work
towards
comprehensive
plan
goals.
The
city
will
be
responsible
for
collaborating
internal
to
the
enterprise
as
well
with,
as
well
as
with
other
local
and
county
and
state
agencies,
to
implement
various
elements
of
the
plan
that
guide
decision-making
and
affect
the
long-term
future
of
our
city,
as
it
relates
to
the
built
and
natural
and
economic
environment.
While
work
has
already
begun
to
bring
about
the
outcomes
called
for
in
the
plan.
D
The
official
effective
date
of
Minneapolis
2040,
as
proposed
in
the
resolution
before
you
today,
is
January
1
of
2020,
also
effective
on
that
date.
Subject
to
your
further
review
and
approval
will
be
inclusionary,
zoning,
which
we
will
present
at
the
housing
policy
and
development
committee
on
December
4th
and
changes
to
the
city's
zoning
ordinance.
That
will
permit
three
unit
development
throughout
the
city,
which
will
be
presented
at
zoning
and
planning
on
October
31st
and
our
code.
D
Development
team
is
already
underway
on
the
work
plan
approved
by
the
council
this
summer,
including
built
forum
districts,
which
we
expect
will
be
before
you
mid
year.
Next
year,
staff
intends
to
present
a
comprehensive
plan.
Implementation
summary
during
the
next
council
cycle
outlining
efforts
that
are
ongoing
and
those
that
are
planned
to
take
shape
in
the
coming
months
and
years.
D
So,
as
I
mentioned,
we
are
already
working
on
key
implementation
considerations
as
part
of
our
work
plan
and
we'll
be
recommending
next
cycle,
a
steering
committee
of
council
members
and
staff
to
guide
the
work
with
that.
We
recommend
your
approval
of
the
resolution
before
you
and
we
are
available
for
questions.
Thank
you
very
much.
C
You
madam
chair
I,
just
wanted
to
comment
very
briefly
on
some
of
the
work
that's
happening
that
we
have
heard
about
both
at
committee
of
the
whole
as
part
of
the
race
equity
subcommittee.
That
was
in
response
to
a
staff
direction
and
asked
staff
to
prioritize
race,
equity,
work
in
the
Comprehensive
Plan
implementation,
and
we
have
the
first
of
those
presentations
earlier
this
year
and
then
the
work
that's
coming
through
the
zoning
and
planning
committee
or
the
Transportation
and
Public
Works
Committee,
the
housing
policy
development
committee,
the
economic
development
services
committee.
C
Because
of
the
breadth
of
this
work,
I
think
a
lot
of
the
implementation
will
be
has
been
and
will
become
more
diffused
throughout
the
enterprise
and
therefore
that
councils
committees
and
I
think
that's
great,
because
it
provides
a
lot
of
leadership
for
the
whole
council
to
really
dig
in
and
bring
forward
the
true
vision
of
this
plan.
And
so
in
one
sense,
this
plan
has
always
been
a
legal
document.
That
is
our
land
use
map.
But
it
is
much
more
than
that
and
I
think.
C
It's
been
very
clear
that
the
council
was
very
serious
when
we
made
a
commitment
to
prioritizing
big
issues
like
race
equity
like
climate
change.
We
know
that
there
are
not
simple
solutions
to
those
global
problems,
but
I
think
we're
ready
to
make
sure
that
any
action
that
we
take
is
done
carefully
through
that
lens
and
I
appreciate
the
way
that
staff
has
responded
to
that
and
the
way
that
we're
continuing
to
keep
this
an
enterprise-wide
initiative.
So
thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
madam
president,
counselor
Gordon.
E
It's
gonna
be
really
key
that
we
coordinate
that
work
in
that
effort
and
I.
Think
there's
gonna
be
a
lot
of
desire
to
see
some
things
changed
quickly,
but
I
think
we
also
have
to
do
the
changes
thoughtfully
and
cautiously
and
make
sure
we
understand
as
we're
making
one
change.
What
else
were
we
intending
to
do?
E
I
know
that
when
we
developed
a
comprehensive
plan,
there
was
a
steering
committee
and
a
steer
group
that
helped
meet
regularly
and
do
some
of
that
in
the
development
development
and
the
drafting
of
it
and
I'm
wondering
about
the
idea
of
having
another
leadership
group
with
some
policy
makers
on
it,
as
well
as
leaders
from
city
departments
to
help
coordinate
that
work
and
I.
Don't
know.
A
D
Again,
mr.
Benn,
thank
you
madam
chair
councilmember
Gordon.
Yes,
we
very
much
think
that
that
is
an
appropriate
and
and
important
step,
so
I
hope,
I
mentioned
and
I'll
say
again.
We
do
intend
to
recommend
a
steering
committee
comprised
of
city
staff
from
across
the
enterprise,
as
well
as
council
members
as
part
of
our
implementation
report
next
cycle.
So,
yes,
I,
agree
with
you.
C
You,
madam
chair,
and
thank
you,
cats,
Mark
Gordon,
for
raising
that
issue.
I
think
because
of
the
multi-faceted
nature
of
comprehensive
plan
implementation,
it's
worth
taking
a
little
time
to
think
about
what
the
scope
of
any
kind
of
steering
committee
would
be.
It's
probably
unlikely
that
a
small
group
of
council
members
could
guide
the
entire
implementation
of
the
plan
because
it
touches
so
many
different
areas.
So
I
think
we've
talked
about
creating
a
steering
committee.
C
That
would
be
more
specific
to
the
zoning
code,
amendments
that
would
come
through
the
zoning
and
planning
committee,
which
are
more
technical
in
nature.
But
perhaps
there
was
a
need
to
have
you
know
multiple
different
efforts
happening
at
the
same
time
and
I'm
not
sure
that
that
should
all
go
through
one
one
body,
so
I
think
it's
just
worth
us
talking
about
that
more.
A
F
A
E
Thank
you
very
much.
Mr.
president,
the
Economic
Development
regulatory
Services
Committee
will
be
bringing
forward
15
items
for
consideration
on
Friday.
The
first
item
is
has
to
do
with
approving
an
application
for
Quincy
Hall.
It's
my
understanding
that
there'll
be
a
motion
about
the
council
to
table
that
I
think
there's
some
negotiations
that
are
still
going
on
with
the
neighborhood.
We.
C
E
Some
testimony
and
some
concerns
about
it
and
I
think
the
operators
are
interested
in
having
some
more
discussions.
It
might
take
longer
than
the
time
between
now
and
Friday.
The
second
item
is
another
application
for
a
business.
This
is
at
patisserie
and
third
is
approving
an
application
for
another
business.
So
is
the
fourth
the
fifth
I'll
try
to
channel
councilmember
Goodman
and
the
way
she
gets
us
to
these
long
agendas
quickly.
E
E
The
13th
is
a
accepting
a
grant
from
the
Minnesota
Department
of
Employment
and
economic
development,
and
the
14th

prosperity.
Grant
acceptance,
that's
also
from
the
Minnesota
Department
of
Employment
and
economic
development,
and
the
15th
item
is
authorizing
forgivable
loan
to
Fordyce
capital,
to
establish
a
revolving
loan
to
fund
for
a
2
million
loan
received
by

A
G
You,
madam
vice
president,
well,
we
won't
be
voting
on
any
of
these
on
Friday.
I
did
want
to
just
share
that
at
our
audit
committee
meeting
this
week
we
were
given.
We
had
a
visit
from
our
state
auditor,
Julie
Blaha
came
to
our
committee,
and
that
was
terrific.
We
also
heard
and
found
the
recommendations
to
be
acceptable
from
our
state
auditors
reports.
G
Vice
chair
vice
president,
we,
the
audit
committee,
did
was
asked
to
and
on
our
risk
assessment
have
found
that
we
do
use
gift
cards
to
appropriate
funds
from
the
city
for
different
initiatives.
One
some
are
most
our
public
health
related,
so
whether
they
are
gift
cards
by
way
of
of
an
agreement
from
a
settlement
with
companies
for
things
like
lead
remediation,
others
are
often
gift
cards
that
are
appropriated
either
through
our
school
system
or
through
other
means
and
partner
community
partners.
G
For
things
like
attending
health
seminars,
they
tend
to
be
gift
cards
for
things
like
stores
like
Target,
we
are
not
allowed,
and
one
of
them
was
to
make
sure
we
were
not
still
using
gift
cards
that
operated
like
credit
cards.
That.
A
C
You,
madam
chair,
the
infinitive
committee,
will
be
forwarding
one
item
which
is
creating
the
appointed
position
in
the
Civil
Rights
Department
of
the
director
of
labor
standards
and,
if
approved,
it
will
be
forwarded
to
Ways
and
Means
the
next
cycle,
and
this
would
create
a
new
position
to
oversee
the
city's
enforcement
of
Pizza
can
save
time
minimum
wage
and
weed
shaft.
Thank.
