Description
Minneapolis Committee of the Whole Meeting
A
Afternoon,
I
am
going
to
call
to
order
this
regular
meeting
of
the
committee
of
the
whole
for
Wednesday
February
13th
2019.
My
name
is
Andrea
Jenkins
and
I
am
the
chair
of
this
committee
and
with
me
at
the
dais
today
our
council
members
Fletcher
Ellison
Masami
panel
Schrader
Palmisano
and
the
committee's
vice
chair
Cunningham.
A
A
B
Good
afternoon,
I'm
Andrea
Larsen
the
director
of
strategic
management
in
the
coordinators
office
I'm
here
to
talk
to
you
today
about
our
recommended
city
goals
and
2019
priorities
as
a
part
of
the
strategic
and
racial
equity
action
plan.
I'm
joined
by
Joyce
Stevens,
who
leads
the
division
of
race
and
equity
and
is
clear,
leading
this
work.
B
This
new
strategic
and
racial
equity
action
planning
process
includes
developing
actionable
plans
about
exactly
how
we
will
accomplish
our
goals
and
to
do
so
in
a
way
that
meaningfully
incorporates
strategic
planning
and
racial
equity
action
planning.
This
is
new
for
us,
so
I
want
to
take
a
step
back
and
look
at
the
various
components
of
this
strategic
commercial
equity
action
plan
and
how
they
fit
together.
So
you'll
see
here
all
the
components
that
we've
been
working
on.
The
vision
and
values
are
aspirational.
B
They
tell
us
where
we
want
to
be
when
we're
successful
and
how
we
want
to
achieve
those
outcomes,
and
then
our
goals
and
priorities
set
the
expectations
for
us
as
a
city
to
know
where
we
should
focus
and
what
we
will
achieve.
We've
been
working
on
many
of
these
components
in
pieces
and
so
I
think
it's
important
to
share
that
these
do
all
fit
together
as
a
part
of
an
integrated
whole.
B
Today
we'll
be
discussing
the
city
goals
and
priorities
specifically,
which
will
allow
staff
to
move
forward
on
doing
the
hard
work
of
operationalizing
our
goals
in
developing
a
strategic
commercial
equity
action
plan.
The
government
Alliance
on
race
and
equity
has
recommended
developing
goals
in
five
key
areas.
Data
engagement
spend
workforce
and
policy
goals
in
four
of
these
areas.
Data
engagement,
workforce
and
spend
were
developed
last
fall
and
were
adapted
by
all
of
you
in
December.
B
Today,
we're
talking
about
adopting
goals.
Eight
goals,
specifically
in
the
area
of
our
policy,
work
an
area
which
we
decided
to
spend
more
time
flushing
out
over
the
course
of
the
fall
and
early
this
spring,
currently,
there's
eight
goals
that
cover
broad
swath,
a
broad
swath
of
our
work,
and
so,
in
addition
to
developing
policy
area
goals,
we
will
also
be
prioritizing
the
first
of
these
goals
for
staff
to
focus
on.
A
B
This
built
on
prior
community
engagement
and
was
the
first
step
in
deciding
what
we
wanted
to
accomplish
during
this
term
in
September,
mayor
and
council
met
to
synthesize
the
wealth
of
information
gathered
at
the
session
in
August
into
eight
policy
areas.
In
order
for
us
to
begin
exploring
these
as
goals
during
the
fall
staff
also
began
Devine
defining
operational
goals
around
how
we
deliver
our
work
through
a
diverse
workforce,
diverse
spend
using
racially
disaggregated
data
and
engaging
diverse
communities.
You'll
see
those
goals
listed
here
as
well.
B
These
goals
were
adopted
in
December
and
so
jumping
back
to
the
Pyrus
fight.
Again,
those
were
the
everything
in
the
pie
in
the
circle,
except
for
the
orange
pie,
slice
and
today
we're
talking
about
just
those
eight
those
policy
specific
goals
in
January
just
a
couple
weeks
ago,
the
work
of
redefining
the
vision
and
values
of
the
city
has
continued
and
will
continue
at
a
session
tomorrow
as
well.
B
A
B
The
draft
policy
goals
on
this
page
and
priorities
on
the
next
page
represent
a
joint
recommendation
from
Mayor,
Frye
and
council
members.
These
recommendations
are
based
on
all
of
the
prior
work
to
date
that
I
just
listed
you'll
see
on
this
page.
Eight
policy
areas
listed
on
the
Left,
including
Public,
Safety,
housing,
economic
development,
public
services,
environmental
justice,
the
built
environment
and
transportation,
public
health
and
arts
and
culture
I
will
not
read
the
goal.
B
In
order
to
focus
our
efforts,
work
around
housing,
economic
development
and
public
safety
have
been
prioritized
by
the
mayor
council
as
a
reminder,
I'll
briefly,
walk
through
how
these
priorities
will
be
used.
The
process
that
we're
using
to
operationalize
these
areas
is
called
metrics
of
urgency.
Metrics
of
urgency
is
based
on
the
Six
Sigma
methodology,
which
uses
problem-solving
tools
to
reduce
variation
and
defects.
The
process
uses
data
to
isolate
what
are
called
the
vital
few
projects
within
a
given
process.
B
By
implementing
these
projects,
the
data
Inc
indicates
we
will
have
the
best
opportunity
of
meeting
the
desired
outcomes
due
to
the
data-driven
nature
of
this
structured
approach.
These
priorities
listed
here
point
staff
in
the
direction
of
which
processes
to
explore
first.
At
that
point,
data
and
analysis
are
used
to
the
extent
available
to
define
where
we
have
the
biggest
opportunities
for
impact.
For
that
reason,
this
is
an
iterative
process.
We
do
not
yet
know
what
the
data
will
tell
us
about
where
we
need
to
further
focus
our
efforts.
B
It
means
that
we
do
not
come
to
the
table
with
predefined
solutions.
This
is
challenging
and
that
we
cannot
put
it
to
the
outcome,
but
also
exciting
and
ensuring
that
we
are
letting
data
both
quantitative
and
qualitative
guide.
Our
efforts
so
that
we're
able
to
have
the
greatest
impact
on
the
next
page
I'll
show
you
some
examples
of
what
further
flushed
out
version
of
these
goal.
Statements
may
look
like
so
you'll
see
some
example
goal
statements
around
housing,
economic
development
and
public
safety
and
you'll
see
the
difference
in
this
between
what
I
just
showed.
B
You
is
the
inclusion
of
some
of
the
solutions,
and
so,
for
example,
on
housing.
You'll
see
the
tenants,
helping
tenants,
understand
and
enforce
their
rights
in
order
to
reduce
evictions.
That's
an
example
of
a
solution,
and
that
is
what
the
type
of
detail
that
we're
hoping
to
arrive
at
using
data
making
sure
that
we're
finding
the
right
solutions
to
focus
on
or
the
right
metrics
of
urgency,
at
which
point
we
can
further
operationalize.
What
exactly
that
means
and
what
we
need
to
do
as
a
city
to
accomplish
that.
D
You,
madam
chair,
and
thank
you
so
much
I,
just
want
to
first
start
off
by
saying
thank
you
so
much
to
staff
for
all
the
work
that
has
gone
into.
This
has
been
a
quite
an
exhaustive
process
and
you
all
have
been
very
flexible
as
we've
been
going
through
it.
So
I
just
want
to
first
say
thank
you
and
thank
you
to
joy
for
all
the
work
that
you
all
have
done.
I
have
two
questions.
The
first
is
why
metrics
of
urgency
why
that
framework
chair.
B
Jenkins
councilmember
Cunningham,
we
went
through
a
thorough
RFP
process
and
assessed
a
number
of
vendors
to
help
with
this
process
and
the
supplier
who
we
thought
could
best
deliver
on
the
objectives
we
had
outlined
in
our
RFP
recommended
using
the
metrics
of
urgency
process.
She
had
used
it
before.
She
has
a
great
example
from
Ramsey
County,
where
they
used
some
our
process.
So
you
know
it
can
work
for
government
as
well.
B
D
You
for
that,
for
that
background,
I
I
appreciate
the
the
measuring
aspect
of
it.
That's
first
and
foremost,
what
we
really
have
to
do
if
we're
gonna
be
making
any
sort
of
change
effort.
So
I
reviewed
some
research
on
influencing
population
level,
changes
and,
and
one
of
the
things
that
I
wanted
to
just
address
or
talk
about,
was
a
my
concern
with
the
metric
of
evictions
and
the
the
reason.
D
Why
is
because
I'm
concerned
that
it
could
end
up
incentive,
icing
and
driving
the
wrong
behavior
so,
instead
of
Metro
instead
of
evictions,
we
might
get
instead
note
an
increase
in
notice
to
vacate,
which
is
unofficial
eviction.
So
we
could
theoretically
see
evictions
go
down,
but
what
we
wouldn't
see
is
the
data
of
the
vacate
to
notice
going
up
so
there's
a
little
bit
concerned
about
that,
and
what
I'm
hearing
is
like
when
I,
when
I
see
the
goals
I.
One
of
the
concerns
that
I
have
is
by
us
zeroing
in
on
specific
measures.
D
We're
not
necessarily
addressing
the
underlying
goal,
which
is
we
want
folks
to
be
stably
housed
is
what
you
know.
I
would
imagine
where,
where
that
metric
comes
from,
and
so
when
we
talk
about
the
housing
needs,
it's
a
it's
really
complicated,
obviously,
but
I'm
just
I
wanted
to
share
with
you
and
my
colleagues
that
I
think
that
the
goal
should
likely
reflect
the
continuum
of
housing,
ranging
from
transitional
housing
to
homeownership
that
generates
equity
and
moving
people
all
along
that
continuum.
D
B
B
We
very
much
acknowledge
that
this
is
not
the
only
the
only
housing
related
metric
that
we
should
be
looking
at
we're
working
on,
and
in
focusing
here
it
does
not
mean
that
other
work
in
in
housing
or
frankly
in
public
safety
or
economic
development
will
not
continue
to
happen.
That
work
will
still
continue
to
happen.
B
This
just
allows
us
to
take
a
really
honed
and
focused
look
at
one
single
process,
and
our
hope
is
that
we
can
look
at
the
continuum
and
of
evictions
and
make
sure
that
we
are
measuring
all
of
the
points
at
which
we,
ultimately,
you
know,
arrive
at
an
eviction
and-
and
that
may
include
notice-
and
it
may
include
things
after
evictions,
and
so
our
hope
is
that
we
are
looking
at
the
full
process
and
data
involved
in
that
process.
The.
D
Framework
manager,
if
I
may
just
one
last,
but
the
framework
of
the
metrics
of
urgency,
is
a
little
bit
concerning
because
it
just
seems
like
whenever
we
try
to
have
a
conversation
about
like
it's
a
little
bit
too
specific
I'm
just
concerned
about
that
particular
specificity,
driving
bad
behavior.
So.
A
I
know
that
comes
from
amber
Gordon
is
and
cue,
but
I
had
a
question
for
it
comes
from
a
Cunningham,
and
that
is
I
believe
that
notice
to
vacate
is
a
informal
process,
so
I'm
not
quite
sure
how
we
could
get
that
information
and
or
measure
it.
That's.
D
A
part
of
my
concern
is
that
we're
measured
like
that
would
be
so
with
the
conduct
on
licensed
premises.
One
of
the
components
in
that
is
that
if
there
was
a
notice
to
vacate,
they
have
to
notify
the
city,
and
that
is,
but
that's
rare.
So
that's
what
a
part
of
my
concern
is
is
that
we
could,
if
we're
saying
official
evictions
are
what
we're
going
to
be
measuring.
We
could
have
like
then
an
unseen
like,
because
we
can't
really
call.
We
can't
really
gather
that
data.
D
E
Thank
you
very
much
chair
Jenkins.
It's
always
exciting
and
wonderful
to
see
this
coming
forward
and
you
think
we're
actually
going
to
have
a
racial
equity
action
plan.
So
I
really
appreciate
that
we
get
to
touch
it
here
and
I'm,
anxious
to
say,
keep
going.
Keep
working.
I
am
curious
about
if
there's
been
opportunity
for
other
people
to
weigh
in
on
any
of
these
specifics.
I
know
gates.
E
Several
months
ago
we
tried
to
establish
a
city,
lead
steering
committee
to
govern
the
plan
and
I'm
not
sure
how
much
they've
been
meeting
and
I
know.
We
also
have
a
community
advisory
group
so
have
both
of
those
groups
had
an
opportunity
to
meet
and
discuss
the
eight
goals
and
the
priority
areas
yet,
and
if
so,
what
did
they
say
about
them?
I
know:
I,
don't
I,
don't
believe
we
got
a
letter
or
anything
from
our
racial
equity,
Advisory,
Committee
saying
go
forth
and
I,
don't
think
anybody's
here
from
the
group's
either.
F
Jenkins
customer
Gordon,
the
racial
equity
Community
Advisory
Committee,
has
been
kept
engaged
about
topic
of
strategic
and
rich
equity
action
plan.
Lisa
Tabor
our
consultant
meets
with
them
every
month
when
that
group
meets
and
keeps
them
apprised
of,
what's
happening.
The
racial
equity
steering
committee,
that
is
primarily
city
staff
and
city
staff,
leadership,
with
representation
from
Council
in
the
mayor's
office,
also
as
being
kept
briefed
on
the
status
of
the
strategic
commercial
equity
action
plan.
F
We've
not
asked
either
of
those
bodies
to
weigh,
in
specifically
on
the
goals
themselves,
recognizing
that
the
responsibility
to
define
the
goals
really
does
rest
with
Council
and
with
the
mayor's
office
and
so
allowing
those
bodies
to
come
to
those
conclusions
about
what
the
goals
are.
I
know
what
the
racial
equity
Community
Advisory
Committee.
F
They
really
wanted
that
that
direction
to
come
from
the
city
around
what
those
goals
were
going
to
be,
but
but
see
themselves
playing
a
very
strong
role
going
forward
and
actually
helping
to
think
about
how
we're
engaging
around
these
topics
and
how
we're
altom
utley
building
in
some
sort
of
a
reporting
back
mechanism
to
help
support
communicating
about
progress.
As
we're
implementing
the
plan,
how.
E
Yes,
what
is
the
most
urgent
issue
and
we're
you
know
some
group
decided
evictions
for
housing,
but,
and
so
they
may
I,
don't
know
how
big
a
problem
would
it
be
if
the
council
formally
asked
our
advisory
groups
to
weigh
in
on
these
are
the
goals
or
the
three
priorities
we've
already
named.
F
Chair
Jenkins
customer
Gordon:
that's
entirely
up
to
the
discretion
of
this
body
on
how
you
want
to
engage
the
the
steering
committee
or
the
advisory
committee
in
providing
feedback.
Ultimately,
what
that
does
is
it
extends
our
timeline
to
to
begin
doing
more
formal
community
engagement
around
the
three
policy
priority
areas,
as
well
as
the
metric
of
urgency
sessions
tied
to
these
prior
policy
areas,
but
but,
ultimately,
obviously,
that
you
know
that
freedom
does
lie
within
this
body
to
make
that
decision.
G
F
Gordon,
the
the
focus
of
the
three
areas
is
our
focus
immediately.
It
doesn't
mean
that
this
is
the
entirety
of
our
focus.
Obviously,
we
have
the
ability
right
now
to
identify
where
we're
gonna
focus
for
our
first
draft
of
the
racial
equity,
strategic
Amrish
up
with
the
action
plan,
with
the
understanding
that
periodically,
we
will
come
back
and
look
at
other
areas
both
to
assess
where
our
progress
is
on
the
three
areas
we've
identified
and
then
taking
the
opportunity
to
expand.
F
F
Identifying
specific
goals
within
the
strategic
and
racial
equity
action
plan
does
not
preclude
work
happening
in
any
of
those
other
areas.
Clearly,
if
we're
talking
about
economic
inclusion
doesn't
mean
that
we're
not
still
doing
work
and
sustainability
or
environmental
justice.
If
we're
talking
about
housing,
it
doesn't
mean
we're
not
doing
work
in
arts
and
culture
and.
F
E
Are
doing
this
barely
scratches
the
surface
of
the
work
that
we're
trying
to
do
as
a
council
in
our
committees
and
everything
and
as
a
city
and
as
an
enterprise
I
got
that
what
I
was
trying
to
think
of
was?
Maybe
there
would
be
a
role
for
us
to
actually
use
our
advisory
groups
in
order
not
to
delay
the
staff
plan
of
moving
forward
on
these
emerging
our
emergency
kind
of
metrics?
E
We
could
try
to
ask
our
get
more,
take
more
time
to
identify
them
on
the
other
goals,
but
now
I
understand,
there's
not
necessarily
a
plan
that
we're
going
to
even
identify
any
metrics
of
urgency
for
the
other
goals,
maybe
until
next
year
or
the
following
year,
so
that
doesn't
make
much
sense
either.
I
also
just
wanted
to
note
that
I
don't
believe
the
metrics
have
gone
even
to
a
council
committee
yet
for
more
deeper
discussion,
and
we
could
always
approve
it
now
as
a
council
and
maybe
refer
it
or
hope.
E
The
committees
would
choose
to
touch
that
work
or
something
I
would
say
in
terms
of
the
eviction
metric
being
chair
of
the
Housing
Committee
it
would.
It
would
seem
like
it
would
be
a
better
operating
procedure
if
we
were
able
to
coordinate
and
bring
that
work
together,
and
we
looked
at
whatever
what
all
you
know.
What's
the
infrastructure
to
help
do
our
housing
work,
let's
get
all
that
infrastructure
together
and
align
it.
So
we
can.
We
can
move
that
disparity
I'm.
E
The
first
thing
that
we
pick
and
when
we
do
that
one
another
one
so
I
would
say
whether
or
not
the
council
decides
to
send
it
to
a
committee
or
refer
it.
I
would
hope
to
take
that
up
in
the
house
in
committee,
and
it
would
only
make
sense
that
we'd
also
try
to
take
it
up
in
the
other
committees
and
I'll
just
stay
on
my
soapbox
for
a
little
bit
longer.
E
H
You,
madam
chair,
you
know
I,
think
that
this
process
is
really
important,
but
I
also
just
want
a
voice
that
we
are
in
2019.
So
we
have
passed
through
one
of
our
four
years
in
office
and
so
having
meant
had
many
many
many
hours
of
discussions
about
this
process,
both
in
the
joint
meetings
that
we've
had
together
and
one-on-one
with
council
members
over
the
last
year.
I
would
just
encourage
us
to
recognize
that
at
some
point
we
just
have
to
decide
on
something
and
move
along
with
the
process.
H
So,
as
has
been
said
many
times,
these
three
goals
were
identified
after
it
was
not,
but
after
we
weren't
able
to
to
get
to
the
seven
that
they
had
originally
intended
to
choose
after
that,
first
long
meeting
that
we
all
had
together.
So
they
regrouped
and
decided
to
take
this
different
approach,
recognizing
that,
if
again,
if
we
were
going
to
use
this
technique
this
term,
the
work
has
to
start
at
some
point,
because
otherwise
staff
will
not
have
the
time
to
follow
the
process
of
the
metrics
of
urgency
to
complete
any
of
the
work.
H
So
these
are
probably
not
the
perfect
three
policy
goals,
written
exactly
perfectly
for
every
13
of
us,
but
at
some
point
again
like
we
just
have
to
to
decide
on
something
and
move
on
so
I
would
just
encourage
council
members
to
you
know
just
engage
with
that
in
mind
that
you
know
I
might
not
look
at
this
these
goals
and
think
they're
exactly
perfect,
but
as
a
member
of
a
13-person
body
knowing
trusting
that
together,
this
is
generally
the
direction
we
want
to
go.
Customers
have
specific
changes.
They
want
to
offer
I
feel
like
that's.
H
The
point
we're
at
right
now
is
it's
not
so
sort
of
philosophically
question
the
process,
but
rather
offer
some
suggestions
to
help
us
move
forward
together.
If
there
are
really
deep
concerns
about
this
process,
I
think
maybe
the
time
to
have
raised
that
was
six
months
ago
or
eight
months
ago,
and
we
have
those
one-on-one
conversations
to
begin
this
and
I.
You
know
I,
just
I
just
want
to
encourage
us
to
to
move
along
here
and
make
sure
that
we're
getting
something
out
of
this
process
come.
D
Thank
you,
I'm
still
going
to
make
sure
that
I
asked
the
question
so
is
within
the
metrics
of
urgency.
Is
it
possible
to
have
specific,
like
I'm,
just
curious
about
like
how
the
goals
are
going
to
be
framed?
Is
it
going
to
be
like?
Is
there
space
within
the
process
for
it
to
be?
We
want
to
see
500,
unstable
house
families
or
people
be
stabili
housed
by
the
this
year.
D
F
They're
going
to
be
people
who
are
our
community
partners
in
agencies
who
are
working
with
within
the
same
construct,
around
housing
or
eviction.
Reduction,
for
example,
coming
together
to
say,
must
understand
what
the
process
looks
like
and
what
the
opportunity
is.
In
the
midst
of
that
conversation,
we
will
get
a
much
clearer
sense
of
what
the
actual
goal
is
and
what
the
appropriate
metrics
are
to
be
able
to
measure
success.
So
today,
our
ask
a
council
is
really
about
saying
giving
us
the
direction
of
where
we
should
be
focusing
understanding.
F
A
F
Incans
right
now,
the
division
of
race
and
equity
has
been
working
with
C,
ped,
long-range
planning
and
neighborhood
and
community
relations
to
develop
what
we're
hoping
to
be
a
rather
comprehensive,
a
robust
engagement
that
allows
people
within
our
community
and
those
who
we
are
inviting
and
including
into
these
conversations
to
be
a
part
of
helping
us
get
to
exactly
what
you're
talking
about
so
certainly
there's
opportunity
for
the
advisory
bodies
who
are
within
these
areas
to
be
encouraged.
F
I
I
As
many
of
us
know,
those
of
us
who
ran
on
sort
of
a
platform
of
change
and
and
trying
to
expand
the
the
level
of
access
for
local
communities
to
local
government
and
resources,
it's
it's
really
hard
to
build
this
work
when
there's
no
foundation
for
it
or
when
the
foundations
are
just
beginning
to
be
put
together.
You
know
when
we're
trying
to
address
issues
of
gentrification,
there's
very
little
enterprise-wide
knowledge,
expertise
or
staffing
that
can
really
help
operationalize.
I
So
I
often
bring
that
to
the
to
this
conversation
when
I'm
engaging
with
this
discussion,
because
I
think,
unfortunately,
fortunately,
because
of
our
election
cycles
and
and
the
fact
that
we're
you
know
in
office
for
four
years,
and
then
we
have
to
run
for
reelection
and
see
what
happens
after
that,
it's
it's
gonna
be
hard
to
have
continuity.
Continuity,
continuity
to
this
in
the
way
that
we'd
like
to
and
and
we're
kind
of
starting
from
scratch
in
a
way.
So
we're
really
babies
in
how
approaching
this
conversation
now
and
that's
not
to
infantilize
the
discussion.
I
That's
just
to
acknowledge
that
we're
very
young
in
this
in
the
way
that
we're
approaching
governing
and
strategic
planning
for
such
a
large
enterprise
right
now,
and
so
some
of
the
tension
that
I
feel
around
this
process
is
because
it's
new
because
we
haven't
done
it
in
such
an
extensive
way.
We've
clearly
had
a
lot
of
staff
turnover
in
our
enterprise.
What
that
has
that
would
have
shaped
these
conversations
and
and
kept
some
of
these
threads
going
from
year
to
year
and
specifically
from
one
election
cycle
to
the
next.
I
So
those
are
just
acknowledging
the
context
and
the
terrain
of
this
conversation
for
for
some
of
us
and
I
appreciate
the
staff
work
that
has
gone
into
this
and
clearly
we
see
how
hard
you're
working
and
so
on
that
on
that
kind
of
next
next
step
on
in
this.
For
me,
I'm
curious
about
sort
of
two
things.
I
B
Jenkins
councillor
Mercado
yeah
the
vision
that
the
earlier
January
session
was
just
to
discuss
the
vision
and
values
I'm.
A
small
group
did
mostly
meet
with
some
weather
challenges
with
weather
earlier
this
week
to
work
through
a
draft
based
on
the
conversation
that
happened
in
January,
which
will
be
planning
to
bring
forward
to
the
session
that
is
scheduled
for
tomorrow
afternoon.
B
The
goals
and
priorities
today
are
separate,
but
a
part
of
this
whole
that
I
talked
about
at
the
beginning
and
I
appreciate
your
earlier
comments
that
this
is
new,
and
so
thanks
to
some
of
the
council
members
for
you
know,
asking
us
to
pause
and
make
sure
that
we're
taking
time
to
revisit
our
vision
and
values.
So
we
are
doing
that
it
is.
We
are
not
adopting
today
the
vision
and
the
values
that
we
are
hoping
to
bring
forward
at
the
next
cycle.
B
But
I
do
understand
that
this
we
are
moving
on
these
components,
piecemeal
and
so
they're
coming
to
you
in
pieces
and
I
think
that
that
can
be
a
little
challenging.
So
I
appreciate
that.
But
this
this
visual
that
you'll
see
is
intended
to
show
how
those
all
fit
together
so
again
today,
what
we're
talking
about
doing
is
adopting
the
goals,
setting
some
direction
on
the
priorities
and
then
in
the
next
cycle,
we'll
come
back
and
bring
forward
a
vision
in
values.
Would.
I
It
be
possible
to
get
that
statement
emailed
out
to
people
before
the
meeting
tomorrow.
It's
kind
of
one
of
my
pet
peeves,
like
I,
don't
like
walking
into
a
meeting
and
being
like
here's
the
statement
who
decided
and
now,
but
it
would
be
nice
if
we
could
read
it
either
overnight
tonight
or
early
tomorrow
morning.
I,
don't
know
if
it's
been
emailed
out,
but
it
would
be
great.
B
I
So
my
other
thing
was
gonna,
be
so
Community
Engagement
I
see
a
lot
of
language
in
here
about
community
engagement
and
I'll.
Just
share
with
my
colleagues
now
is
that
I've
tried
to
do
more
community
engagement
through
our
committee,
our
Public
Safety
Committee,
and
every
time
I
try
to
tackle
a
new
community
engagement
project
with
it
I'm.
I
I
would
like
to
just
put
up
put
this
on
on
everyone's
radar.
Is
that
if
we're
gonna
shift
our
governance
practices
in
that
way,
it
would
be
helpful
for
some
of
us
to
I
guess
get
together
and
figure
that
out,
because
it's
something
that
like
I'm,
facing
as
a
barrier
often
times,
is
that
you
know
I
kind
of
lean
on
Casey
to
be
like
so
Casey.
How
can
we
have
a
community
meeting
now
for
a
public
safety
on
this
issue?
And
it's
like
well,
where
are
we
gonna
pay
for
where's?
E
So
the
council
president
kind
of
offered
up
the
idea
of
trying
to
amend
some
of
the
language
and
I
had
a
couple
ideas
and
I'm
not
sure
how
much
my
colleagues
want
to
drag
this
out
for
some
potential
changes.
I'll
talk
about
what
the
three
changes
are,
and
maybe
we
can
move
some
if
it
seems
like
they're,
pretty
simple.
This
is
about
the
draft
goals.
I
think
these
are
actually
the
draft
goals
that
we're
gonna
approve
that
are
gonna
help
us
operate.
E
It's
important
that
we
look
at
them
pretty
carefully,
based
on
the
discussion
about
the
housing
so
far,
I
thought
it
might
be
useful
for
us
to
include
another
qualifier
as
to
the
kind
of
housing
we
want
to
eliminate
disparities
about
and
provide
equal
access
to,
mostly
from
councilmember
Cunningham,
but
I
thought
we
could
add
the
word
stable.
So
it
says
the
city
prioritizes
equitable
access
to
safe,
stable
and
affordable
housing
to
eliminate
racial
disparities
in
housing
and
I
thought
that
might
be
helpful.
E
When
I
looked
at
the
public
service,
one
I
also
just
Porsha
every
in
my
three
year.
What
I
want
to
change?
I
think
that
we
actually
want
to
prioritize
you're
liable
ample
access
to
all
of
our
public
services,
I'm,
not
quite
sure
what
Coromant
they're
two
core
public
services
like
some
of
the
public
services
we
provide.
Aren't
we
don't
want
reliable,
equitable
access,
so
I
thought
we
could
maybe
change
it
to
say
the
city
prioritizes,
reliable
and
echo
access
to
high-quality
public
services
that
work
well
for
everyone.
E
It
might
be
too
many
words
I,
don't
know,
then
they
also
on
the
environmental
justice
issue.
I,
really
appreciate
that
we
have
something
on
there
and
we
mentioned
climate
change
I'm
just
worried
that
we
missed
the
priority
about
some
of
the
immediate
things
we
want
to
do
in
terms
of
the
clean
air,
water
and
soil
and
the
work
that
we
want
to
do
kind
of
in
a
more
immediate
level.
I
know
we
say
sustainable
practices
and
I
guess
I,
don't
actually
have
a
amendment
written
for
that.
E
Exactly
I
also
really
appreciate
that
the
public
health
one
zero
is
right
in
on
youth
development,
but
it
also
makes
me
wonder
about.
Does
that
capture
everything
that
we
really
want
to
prioritize
about?
Public
Health,
which
is
also
where
the
clean
air
and
clean
water
could
could
go
as
well
to
broaden
public
health
a
little
bit.
So
that's
I,
guess
why
I
was
in
limbo
about
that,
but
seeing
how
gung-ho
everybody
appears
through
their
nonverbal
gestures?
How
about
if
I,
try
to
event
amend
the
housing
one
to
add
the
word
stable
after
safe?
E
A
So,
are
you
offering
it
as
an
amendment
yes
and
do
we
need
to
vote
on
an
amendment
now,
so
we
have
an
amendment
from
councilmember
Gordon
to
change
language
in
the
housing
goal,
to
replace
the
city,
prioritizes
equitable
access
to
safe,
stable
and
affordable
housing
to
eliminate
racial
disparities
in
housing,
all
those
in
favor
adopting
that
amendment.
The
discussion.
J
J
Accessible
sorry,
I'm,
not
a
nun
cheating
correctly,
all
those
are
different
table
and
there's
a
lot
of
how
one
of
the
barriers
to
housing
is
finding
things
that
have
it's
having
wide
enough
doors,
making
sure
things
on
the
first
floor,
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
those
things
are
sometimes
will
have
affordable,
safe,
stable
housing
that
isn't
accessible
to
all.
That.
J
J
I'd,
rather
not
be
that
specific
I'd
rather
be
more
open
to
that,
and
have
that
be
s'more
a
little
bit
I'd
like
the
leeway
for
the
community
to
have
that
definition
as
it
stands
in
the
wording.
I
don't
see
us
getting
more
more
defined
about
what
it
affordable
means.
So
I
feel
like
this
fits
in
that
context,
but
I'm
a
well.
That
all
depends
on
the
author
of
the
amendment.
If
he's
open
to
suggestions.
E
E
D
You
I
just
wanted
to
follow
up
on
councillor
McConnell's
component
I
wanted
to
I,
don't
know
if
this
needs
to
be
a
motion,
but
so
I'll
just
go
ahead
and
try,
but
I
would
like
to
see
consistent
language
with
POC
aye
aye,
so
people
of
color,
indigenous
and
immigrant
I
just
think
it's
really
I
just
want
to
emphasize
and
and
and
stand
in
solidarity
that
in
this
iteration
of
fascism,
that
immigrants
and
refugees
are
being
targeted.
So
we
have
to
make
sure
we
are,
is
intentional
about
being
inclusive
of
them
as
well.
Thank
you
thank.
A
You
customer,
Cunningham
and
I
was
going
to
include
that
in
my
motion,
so
very
well
know
stated,
and
so
with
that
I
will
move
approval
of
item
1
with
the
amendment
from
council
member
Gordon,
as
well
as
the
inclusion
of
the
language
indicating
immigrant
communities
and
stated
by
councilmembers,
Connell
and
Cunningham
all
those
in
favor.
Well,
is
there
any
discussion
on
that
item?
D
A
But
it
has
been
I
think
a
very
thoughtful
process
to
date
and
I
think
it's
exciting
that
we
are
embedding
Racing
40
goals
in
our
strategic
plan
for
the
city.
It's
a
milestone
that
I
know.
Many
of
us
have
been
been
waiting
for
and
hoping
for
for
a
very
long
time,
and
so
congratulations
to
this
body
for
approval
today,
as
well
as
to
the
staff
or
for
guiding
us
through
this
process.
G
Thank
you,
madam
president.
Vice
president,
our
agenda
and
then
I
have
a
unanimous
consent
to
I
want
to
bring
up
after
I
report
on
our
agenda.
There
are
nine
items
on
the
agenda
for
approval
on
Friday
item.
One
is
a
liquor
license
with
Sunday
sales
item.
Two
are
the
regular
liquor
license
approvals
and
three?
Are
the
renewals
heading
for
the
gambling
license
renewals
item
five
or
the
business
slicing
up
with
our
business
license
operating
conditions
for
the
bottle
house,
wine
and
spirits
items?
G
Six
and
seven
are
rental,
license
conditions
for
reinstatements
item
eight
is
a
land,
sale,
closing
extension
and
item
number
nine?
Is
our
great
streets
facade
improvement
program
you'll
see
there
are
eight
different
organizations
receiving
grants
through
our
facade
improvement
program
on,
though,
that
there
are
a
number
of
almost
a
dozen
outstanding
grants
also
from
the
previous
cycle.
So
if
you
don't
see
an
organization
your
word
on
this
list,
it
might
be
that
they're
working
on
their
two-year
plan
in
the
off
cycle.
G
An
ordinance
changed
changing,
essentially
the
definition
of
interest
in
a
rental
dwelling
license
or
a
provisional
license.
The
language
will
be
circulated
by
the
clerk.
This
is
language
that
needs
unanimous
consent
for
approval
on
Friday.
That
will
go
immediately
to
the
EDR
s
committee
in
the
next
cycle.
Should
you
have
any
questions
about
why
we've
chosen
to
do
this?
This
way
feel
free
to
talk
to
me.
Members
of
the
committee
will
get
a
briefing
on
this
as
well.
It
has
to
do
with
how
we
define
interest
in
a
property.
G
So,
for
example,
do
you
have
an
interest
in
the
property?
If
you
have
a
contract
for
deed,
do
you
have
an
interest
in
the
property?
If
you
have
a
securitized
interest,
you
have
an
interest
in
the
property
if
you're,
accepting
rent
or
if
someone
who's
related
to
you
is
accepting
rent.
There
are
a
variety
of
ways
we
would
like
to
define
further
clarify
how
we
define
interest
in
a
property,
and
there
are
sometimes
time
sensitivity
to
this
definition
and
I
will
defer
yield
to
Susan
Segal.
If
she
has
anything
else,
she
wants
to
add.
E
You
president
Jenkins,
the
housing
policy
and
Development
Committee
is
coming
forward
with
four
items
on
Friday
for
consideration.
The

a

talk

some
of

think
it's
a
fine
solution
as
well.

six
items
for
approval.
The
first
is
the
denial
of
a
demolition

is

The

the

at
the
same
property.
The
fourth
is
the
approval
of
the
reappointment
of
Maryland

to

A
N
You,
madam
vice
president,
there's
nothing
from
our
independent
audit
committee,
that's
being
forwarded
to
Council
at
this
time,
but
I
did
want
to
take
an
opportunity
to
share
with
you
all
some
of
the
work
that
audit
has
done
this
time
around.
We
received
two
full
audit
reports
in
two
helpful
consults
this
round
and
when
I
say
us,
I
mean
myself
and
councilmember
Schrader
and
council
member
saumui,
who
said
as
part
of
that
committee.
N
One
is
in
a
full
audit
of
the
AEG
Target
Center
contract
in
its
relationship.
As
you
as
most
of
us
here
would
remember,
we
had
to
consider
an
investment
in
Target
Center
a
couple
of
years
ago
and
we're
curious
to
see
if
that
investment
has
been
worthwhile.
So
I
think
that
overall,
it's
too
soon
to
tell,
but
there
were
certainly
some
improvements
and
suggestions
as
to
how
we
better
manage
this
relationship
going
forward.
N
The
second
was
a
Human
Resources
consult,
that's
our
continued
efforts
on
how
we
can
be
diligent
and
consistent
across
the
enterprise
on
managing
separations
from
the
city.
The
third
was
with
our
partners
the
park
board
and
doing
a
body
worn
camera
compliance.
Readiness
in
so
that
they
are
ready
for
their
first
formal
body-worn
camera
audit.
When
that
comes
time
and
the
fourth
audit
was
when
we
had
to
receive
in
closed
session
and
that's
from
our
pins
management
system.
N
That's
our
police
information
management
system
and
it
was
about
I
IT
items
and
we
will
be
unredacted
more
of
that
for
the
public
facing
view
once
those
audit
items
get
remediated
so
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
I'm
also
proud
to
announce
that
the
mayor
has
reappointed
mr.
David
Fisher
to
our
independent
audit
committee.
Mr.
David
Fisher
is
the
head
of
a
department
at
the
University
of
Minnesota
law
school
and
has
been
serving
with
us
for
one
term
previous,
so
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
N
A
H
You,
madam
vice
president,
we
have
two
items
from
the
executive
committee.
The
first
is
the
Civil
Service
Commission
appointment,
and
the
second
is,
which
would
be
referred
to
as
a
means
for
public
hearing,
and
the
second
is
a
approving,
a
collective
bargaining
agreement
with
our
electrician's
unit.
It's
retroactive
because
this
one
is
behind.
So
staff
is
working
to
sit
down
with
them
for
negotiations
of
their
future
contracts.
