Today,

in

I
want
to

So
this
is
our
resolution
commemorating
Latino,
Heritage
Month.
So
from
September
15th
to
October
15th,
the
United
States
celebrates
Latino
Heritage
Month
September
15th
marks
the
anniversary
of
Independence
for
several
Latin
American
countries,
including
Costa
Rica
El
Salvador,
Guatemala,
Honduras
Nicaragua,
with
Mexico
commemorating
its
independence
on
September,
16th
and
Chile
on
September
18th,
Latino,
Heritage
Month
is
a
time
to
learn
about
both
the
resiliency
of
this
vibrant
American
community
and
the
oppression
it
has
survived
in
its
in
acts
of
colonization.
B
And
whereas
we
acknowledge
the
deep
hardships
the
Latino
community
is
facing.
Most
recently
displayed
through
the
mass
shooting
in
El
Paso
Texas,
which
specifically
targeted
Latino
families
and
promoted
white
supremacy,
and
whereas
we
stand
in
solidarity
with
the
victims
and
the
survivors
of
the
El
Paso
hate
crime,
and
we
stand
in
solidarity
with
the
millions
of
undocumented
immigrant
families
whose
infants
and
children
have
been
torn
away
from
the
care
and
love
of
their
parents.
B
Unjustly
and
inhumanely
incarcerated
in
concentration
camps
on
the
southern
border.
And
we
soundly
reject
his
ex
of
persecution
and
the
ideologies
of
hate
and
fear.
And
we
assert
that
we
will
welcome,
embrace
and
are
proud
of
our
Latino
community
and
whereas
honoring
Latino
Heritage
Month
is
one
way.
We
can
show
our
commitment
to
work
toward
positive
change
to
stop
the
heat,
discrimination
and
oppression
of
Latino
of
the
Latino
community.
Now,
therefore,
be
it
resolved
that
the
mayor
in
the
city
council
do
hereby
commemorate
Latino
Heritage
Month
in
order
to
protect
and
uplift
the
voice.
B
The
vision
and
the
contributions
brought
forward
by
Latinos
throughout
Minneapolis
that
you
United
States
and
the
world
and
now
I,
would
like
to
please
ask
some
of
our
leaders
to
share
some
words
with
us
today.
I
will
start
by
handing
the
microphone
to
nudi
a
derivative
and
ermine,
who
is
our
city
coordinator,
our
city's
first
Latina
City
coordinator,
and
then,
if
we
can
just
share
the
microphone
with
a
few
other
leaders
today.
Thank
you.
C
Thank
You,
councilmember,
Cano
and
first
and
foremost,
I
want
to
thank
you.
You
have
been
a
champion
and
a
leader
in
City
Council
and
have
used
your
voice
and
your
position
to
really
uplift
Latinos
in
the
city
and
for
that
I.
Just
thank
you
personally,
but
I
know
that
many
of
our
city
employees
as
well.
Thank
you
for
bringing
those
efforts
forward
as
well
as
those
in
community
and
then
finally,
I
just
want
to
thank
the
entire
council
mayor
for
really
supporting
the
so
most
ERG.
C
It's
almost
ERG
they're
amazing,
a
group
of
employees
who
got
together
and
said
we
can
do
better,
we
can
recruit,
we
can
have
more
numbers
at
four
percent
of
the
employee
work
force.
We
can
do
better
and
they
have
banded
to
see
how
they
can
be
leveraged,
how
they
can
help
not
a
criticism,
but
rather
a
mechanism
of
support
and
to
augment
Latinos
here
in
the
city,
and
they
have
just
been
stellar
and
amazing.
Everyone
here
has
been
terrific,
so
just
wanted
to.
Thank
you,
council,
for
supporting
the
somos
TRG.
Is
that
moves
forward.
D
Or
letters
thanks
so
much
for
the
opportunity,
it's
hard
to
follow
the
words
and
the
closest
from
the
resolution.
This
means
a
lot
to
us
today.
Somos
has
been
created
last
year
and
in
such
a
little
time
the
team
has
come
together
as
a
family
and
that's
how
we
consider
ourself
we're
brothers
and
sisters
working
together.
Why?
Because
we
want
to
bring
the
voice
of
the
Latino
community
to
this
building
to
the
decisions
that
are
made.
Thinking
about
our
community,
our
needs
our
challenges,
and
we
see
that
those
not
only
as
as
gap
or
obstacles.
D
We
see
them
as
a
huge
opportunity
and
we
want
to
help
the
city
accomplishing
something
big
for
our
community
and
I
want
to
thank
each
member
of
somos.
We
could
not
have
done
all
of
this
work
if
it
wasn't
for
each
one
of
us
working
hard
and
bringing
the
passion,
because
we
are
passionate
of
our
city.
We
love
the
city
of
Minneapolis
and
our
community
wants
to
belong
to
this
city,
and
we
this
this
opportunity
to
celebrate
Latino
Hirshman
is
huge
for
us,
because
this
is
the
first
time
that
the
city
is
coming
together.
D
B
E
First
of
all,
thank
you
so
much
consul,
americano,
all
council,
members
and
yeah
I,
know
in
mayor
and
also
someone's
in
all
the
staff
of
the
city
of
Minneapolis.
As
you
know,
we
have
over
three
hundred
thousand
Latinos
in
the
state.
I,
don't
I
said
forty
four
thousand
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis
per
se,
but
in
the
West
Metro.
Certainly
in
the
Latino
community
is
quite
large.
E
So
the
city
making
these
statements
is
it's
a
great
opportunity
for
us
to
come
together
as
Patino's
and
non-latinos
to
work
together
so
toward
a
prosperity
wellness
for
our
community
for
our
city
and
as
clues.
We
also
do
our
part
by
having
an
office
right
here
on
Lake
Street
in
Minneapolis,
because
it's
important
that
we
make
a
statement
and
that
we
provide
more
opportunities,
more
engagement
and
more
access.
So
this
type
of
recognition
and
special
time
for
us
to
celebrate
our
culture.
Our
heritage,
our
traditions,
is
part
of
what
makes
us
strong
as
a
community.
E
What
empowers
us
as
a
community
that
is
here
too,
you
know
many
who
were
born
and
raised
in
Minneapolis,
but
also
many
new
immigrants
and
new
Americans
that
come
to
make
this
their
home.
So
thank
you
all
community
as
well,
for
engaging
us
and
being
part
of
it,
and
thank
you
for
your
leadership
along
the
record.
Some.
It
really
is
some
great
demonstration
of
what
one
of
us
can
do,
but
together
what
we
all
can
do.
B
Thank
you
and
I
see
so
many
powerful
mojitos
here
and
I
wanted
to
just
ask
Jennifer
if
she
could
help
us
close
it
off.
Jennifer
godliness
is
the
associate
director
of
the
Minnesota
education
equity
partnership
and
has
been
such
a
strong
leader
in
the
Twin
Cities
for
many
many
years,
mentored
a
lot
of
youth
and
she
was
actually
probably
the
youngest
serving
Latino
executive
director
when
she
founded
high
school
eita,
which
is
was
part
of
the
Colegio
charter
school.
So,
if
you
can,
please
help
us
share
some
words.
I.
F
G
G
And
I
helped
with
her
campaign
and
the
night
where
we
were
waiting
just
like
Alexander
Ocasio
Cortez,
he's
on
the
news,
they're
all
waiting
to
see
if
she'd
be
elected,
I
thought
about
my
Alito,
what
he
said,
which
is
that
we
didn't
just
come
to
this
country
to
take
anything
from
it.
We
came
to
this
country
to
build
it.
So
please
teach
your
children
that
today
that
we
are
all
here
whatever
background,
whatever
sexual
orientation,
whoever
we
are
to
help
Co
build
this
country.
Thank
you
and.
B
Appreciate
you
all
so
much
I
hope
many
of
you
can
stay
here
for
the
panel
at
noon,
where
we
will
talk
about
increasing
the
number
of
Latino
employees
at
the
city
and
check
out
our
city
website,
which
has
a
series
of
events
that
we've
co-hosted
and
organized
with
the
neighborhood
and
community
relations
department.
So
most
and
many
other
folks
at
the
city,
so
muchas
gracias,
por,
estar,
aqui
y
adelante,.
I
A
A
So
I'm
gonna
jump
in
and
read
the
resolution,
because
it's
this
is
very
emotional,
I
think
for
a
lot
of
us
and
then
we
will
all
say
a
few
words.
This
is
a
resolution.
Honoring
Nuria
Rivera
van
der
Meyde
for
her
service
to
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
whereas
Maria
Rivera
van
der
Meyde
has
dedicated
over
six
years
of
full-time
service
to
the
city
and
people
of
Minneapolis
and
during
her
tenure.
A
A
The
city's
diverse,
spend
and
workforce
diversity,
especially
in
building
and
maintaining
the
city's
first
employee
resource
groups,
to
provide
identity
based
support
for
city
staff
as
well
as
leading
the
as
well
as
leading
as
the
executive
sponsor
for
women
and
slo-moes,
and
whereas
MS
rivera
van
der
Meyde
brought
to
her
colleagues
and
friends.
An
orientation
toward
performance
driven
work.
A
An
ability
to
make
change
even
when
difficult,
a
keen
sense
of
humor,
a
love
of
family
friends
and
food
and
a
consistent
declaration
of
her
data
geekiness
and
whereas
MS
rivera
van
der
mayans
public
service
contributions
to
the
staff
and
people
of
minneapolis
will
be
deeply
missed.
And
whereas
the
people
of
austin
texas
are
fortunate
beyond
compare
to
gain
the
passion
and
expertise
of
MS
rivera
van
der
Meyde,
we
may
forgive
them
someday.
A
But
we
may
not,
therefore,
be
it
resolved
that
the
mayor
and
the
city
council
do
hereby
commend
Nuria
rivera
van
der
Meyde
for
her
dedication.
An
exempt
Lee's,
exemplary
service
to
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
presented
with
deep
gratitude
and
appreciation
by
the
mayor
and
council
members
for
her
outstanding
commitment
to
the
city.
A
I'm
just
gonna
say
a
couple
things
and
then
turn
it
over
to
council.
Vice
president
who
chairs
our
committee
of
the
whole
and
our
race
equity
committee
that
the
coordinator
reports
to
I
just
want
to
add
as
a
personal
note,
that
Nuria
is
special
and
stands
out
among
the
thousands
of
amazing
staff,
which
is
a
highest
compliment.
We
can
give
because
I
think
we
have
the
best
staff
in
the
country
here
at
the
city,
Minneapolis
Maria
Bria
brings
a
personal
passion
to
her
work.
A
A
J
K
But
I
have
to
share
with
you
the
very
first
conversation
that
I
had
with
her
after
I
decided
to
appoint
her
I
sat
down
with
her,
and
the
first
thing
that
she
said
was
I.
First
need
to
be
certain
that
you
are
not
appointing
me,
because
I
would
be
the
first
Latina
City
coordinator,
and
that
is
so
emblematic
of
who
Maria
is.
She
wanted
to
be
appointed
because
she
was
the
best
person
for
the
job
and
she
was
she
wanted
to
be
the
appointed,
because
she
could
do
transformational
work
in
the
city
and
she
did.
K
L
L
Can't
help
but
jump
in
and
say
a
positive
word
or
two
I
am
a
little
bit
cranky
at
Spencer,
John
and
Austin
or
snatching
you
up.
Austin
is
a
great
city.
I
have
some
caught.
We
have
some
colleagues
down
in
Austin
who
are
amazing
and
I've
spoken,
my
slight
dissatisfaction
that
they
snatched
you
up,
but
I
get
it
so
bittersweet
because
you
are
incredibly
powerful
and
the
state
in
that
city
will
greatly
benefit.
L
They
have
a
large
population,
they
have
a
very
strong
city
manager,
office
and
so
you'll
be
able
to
really
flex
in
ways
that
I
think
will
benefit
that
city
greatly.
Your
leadership
has
been
felt
throughout
this
whole
enterprise
and
out
in
the
community
as
well,
between
SiC
and
save
time
and
wage
other
things
that
folks
have
already
brought
up,
but
the
work
that
you
have
done
has
deeply
shifted:
systemic
changes
that
are
needed
in
this
city,
and
so
thank
you
for
your
leadership.
Thank
you
for
managing
the
politics
of
trying
to
make
that
systemic
change.
L
M
I
just
wanted
to
add
one
thing
that
no
one's
mentioned
yet,
which
is
I,
think
that
it
can
be
easy
to
sort
of
fake
professionalism
or
those
kinds
of
things,
but
it's
hard
to
it's
hard
to
fake,
bringing
up
leadership
right
and
when
the
people
underneath
you
like
Danielle
like
Mark,
are,
are
great
leaders
themselves.
That's
a
reflection
of
your
leadership
and
I.
M
Think
I
just
wanted
to
recognize
that
that
it's
not
just
your
service,
but
the
service
of
your
team
and
the
people
that
you've
brought
forward
to
be
ex
stewards
of
the
city,
I
think
is.
It
is
a
genuine
reflection
and
it
means
that
it
means
that
the
way
that
you
showed
up
to
work
and
the
way
that
you
showed
up
to
serve
the
city
was
real
and
I.
Just
want
to.
Thank
you
for
that
leadership.
N
Thinking
about
how
to
get
departments
working
together,
how
to
how
to
help
everybody
see
the
ways
that
were
aligned
and
and
can
move
together
and
then
putting
in
place
structural
improvements
to
the
way
we
make
decisions.
The
way
we
think
about
data
that
are
gonna
benefit
our
city
for
years
and
years
and
years
to
come.
I
know
that
we're
gonna
be
glad
that
you
served
in
this
role
for
a
long
time
after
you
left,
I
was
in
Austin
for
a
conference
last
month
and
I
made
Spencer
apologize
to
me
in
person.
N
O
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
I've
had
the
pleasure
of
knowing
Maria
in
a
capacity
of
friendship
before
her
tenure
here
at
City,
Hall
and,
of
course,
I
treasure
that
and
I
know,
even
though
you're
going
to
be
in
Austin,
you
won't
be
a
stranger
on
the
personal
level,
but
you
know,
we've
touched
on
your
importance
and
the
work
that
you've
done
in
a
position
that
really
a
lot
of
people
still
don't
understand
what
it
is.
You.
O
Is
a
city
coordinator
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
where
you
have
this
broad
distributive
way
of
getting
things
done
in
making
decisions?
You
do
not
have
that
authority
to
just
say
this
is
going
to
happen.
This
is
when
it's
going
to
happen,
however,
and
that
sort
of
nuanced
position
that
you
have
created
and
if
there
ever
was
to
be
a
blueprint
for
the
city
coordinator
and
I've,
worked
with
several
in
my
tenure
here
and
I.
Think
Goodman's.
We
even
worked
with
more
and
each
one
had
their
own
approach.
O
But
if
there
were
to
be
a
blueprint,
you
made
the
blueprint.
I
really
truly
believe
that
I
don't
know
if
that
can
be
accomplished,
because
it's
more
than
just
how
you
did
it,
it
was
you
that
did
it.
It
was
the
personal
touch
that
you
had.
Politics
is
a
lot
of
driven
by
the
personality
that
you
bring
to
it,
and
you
brought
an.
B
Come
on
the
six
that
I
get
a
mood
chill
we're
gonna
miss
you
a
lot.
It
was
really
beautiful
to
be
around
your
mentorship.
Your
support,
your
vision,
always
so
energetic,
engaged
and
deeply
committed
and
I
saw
you
firsthand
turn
all
of
those
racial
equity
words
that
we
have
on
reports
and
paper
into
actual
tangible
changes
in
the
institution,
and
we
are
forever
grateful
for
that.
That
is
a
big
big
legacy
here
that
you're
leaving
in
Minneapolis.
B
So
we're
not
gonna.
Let
you
go
so
fast,
though
we're
gonna
stay
in
touch
and
I.
Look
at
your
growth
and
your
you
know
being
lifted
up
in
leadership
into
a
bigger
city
with
more
Latino
community
members
and
perhaps
more
challenges
as
a
way
to
really
expand
our
Familia
and
to
stay
in
touch
with
you
and
lean
on
each
other
across
cities
and
states
to
say
how
are
we
doing?
How
can
we
do
better?
P
Do
that
as
well
and
from
the
way
you
worked
and
helped
us
work
with
the
people
throughout
the
city,
but
also
with
the
staff
and
think
about
how
can
we
be
more
compassionate,
more
egalitarian,
more
empowering
with
one
another
here
and
I
think
it
was
really
helpful.
I
think
we're
gonna,
of
course
miss
you
terribly,
but
hopefully
we
can
hold
on
to
some
of
those
things
and
I
just
want
to
highlight
an
example
that
people
could
think
about
that.
Your
leadership
really
helped
us
to
do
when
we
had
to
deal
with
the
encampment.
C
I'll
be
quick
because
there's
business
to
attend
to-
and
this
is
my
worst
nightmare
frankly-
I-
would
much
rather
take
on
any
crazy
challenge
and
then
have
these
lovely
and
kind
words
directed
my
way.
But
I
want
to.
Thank
you
first
of
all,
because
it
is
through
those
challenges
that
I
think
we
have
done
better
as
a
city,
and
it
is
not
a
singular
individual,
but
it
is
the
vision
of
mayor's.
It
is
visions
of
council
and
I.
Really.
Thank
you
mayor
for
this
opportunity.
C
I
thank
the
council
and
council
president
for
your
leadership,
as
that
has
moved
forward
really
supporting
the
work
that
we've
really
all
been
trying
to
do
together.
I
want
to
say
that
we
have
two
amazing
assets
here
in
the
city
and
one
of
them
is
your
staff,
and
you
know:
I've
been
a
champion
of
staff
efforts
since
I
started
here.
C
R
A
You
I'd
like
to
note
that
council
member
Johnson
is
absent
today
because
he
is
representing
the
city
at
the
annual
meeting
of
the
League
of
Minnesota
cities
where
he
represents
the
city
of
Minneapolis.
We
do
have
a
quorum
today
and
I
will
note
that
the
agenda
for
today's
meeting
is
before
us
is
there
in?
Are
there
any
amendments
from
council
members
to
the
agenda?
A
A
J
A
Those
in
favor
say
aye
aye,
those
opposed
say
no
that
carries
and
those
referrals
are
made.
The
next
order
of
business
is
reports
from
our
standing
committees
and
we
begin
with
the
report
of
the
economic
development
and
regulatory
services

presented
by
the
chair,
councilmember

A
Q
A
M
Elections,
new
rules
committee
has
one
item
to
bring
forward
as
the
passage
of
a
resolution
designating
and
prescribing
polling
places
together
with
election
precincts
and
the
boundaries
thereof.
Inclusive
of
two
new
precincts
in
Ward
and
Ward's,
three
and
ten
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis
and
I,
will
move.
A
A
P
The
housing
policy
and
Development
Committee
will
be
bringing
forward
seven
items
for
consideration
today.
The
first
three
are
land
sales,
all
in
North
Minneapolis.
The
fourth
one
is
submitting
comments
on
our
consolidated
annual
performance
evaluation
report.
The
fifth
item
is
recommending
passage
of
the
ordinance
as
a
mandated
Committee
for
the
relative
protections.
Sixth
item
is
a
resolution
granting
approval
for
Hennepin
County's
to
undertake
projects
at
Park,
View,
Apartments
and
use
housing
bonds,
and
the
seventh
is
similar
use
of
county
revenue
bonds
for
a
project
known
as
Holmes
Greenway
apartments.
A
Q
T
A
P
M
You
matter
president
Thank
You,
councilmember,
Gordon
I
have
three
amendments.
As
you
all
know,
in
committee
we
had
a
lengthy
public
hearing
and
have
a
few
amendments
related
to
the
feedback
that
we
got
at
that
public
hearing.
The
first
one
is
adding
a
sentence
to
the
definition
of
single
month
rent
the
sentence
that
we
would
be
adding
would
be
when
a
tenant
rent
is
supplemented
by
a
rental
subsidy.
M
That
means
the
total
contract
plan
for
the
dwelling
unit,
not
the
amount
that
the
person
receiving
the
subsidy
is
paying
so
I
just
wanted
to
add
that
sentence,
and
so
that's
the
first
minute.
Should
we
go
one-by-one
or
should
I
just
kind
of
yes
fall
alongside
I
think
my
concept
is
I
shouldn't
pass
down,
but
maybe
they
did
not
messed
up
here.
A
M
Second
Amendment
is
related
to
the
ten
year
look-back
for
the
criminal
provision,
and
so
there
is
a
so
we're
adding
a
few
things
to
the
ten
year
look-back.
We
got
a
lot
of
feedback
about
a
state
law
that
has
to
do
with
employment,
and
it's
called
the
Koskinen
law
and
so
and
so
I'll
just
sort
of
read
how
what
the
change
is
so
add
all
felony
level
crimes
that
are
listed
in
the
state
Koskinen
law,
with
presumptive
prison
commitments
longer
than
seven
years.
M
The
four
that
we
would
be
adding
that
fit,
that
description
would
be
for
a
second
and
third
degree.
Murder
would
be
first-degree,
manslaughter
kidnapping
and
first-degree
criminal
conduct,
including
the
two
that
are
not
included
in
the
federal
lifetime
registry,
so
that
would
be
the
so
that
would
be
the
second
motion
and
then
the
third
is
actually
a
staff
direction
that
would
have
the
would
have
the
group
specified
and
councillor
Goodman's
amendment
from
from
committee.
M
I
would
have
that
further
examine
the
ten-year
look-back
period
just
because
we
have
data
to
support
the
three
and
the
seven
year
look-back
period.
The
ten-year
look-back
period
is
now
predicated
on
the
same
data,
but
the
points
that
I
described
and
so
I
really
want
that
group
to
examine
the
tenure,
look
back
and
and
and
make
sure
that
we've
considered
everything
that
comes
to
comes
to
that.
So
those
are
the
three
and
we
can
take
them
one
by
one
or
pass
them
as
a
whole.
If
people
don't
have
questions,
thank.
A
You
elzar
elfin
has
moved
to
three
motions.
The
two
amendments
and
a
staff
direction
in
front
of
us
I
think
I
will
take
them
one
by
one,
as
some
may
have
more
discussion
than
others.
I
put
myself
in
queue
just
I
want
to
briefly.
So
let's
take
this
as
amendment
number
one
but
I'll
comment
and
see
if
there
are
other
comments
on
this
item.
This
is
the
addition
of
when
a
tenants
rent
is
supplemented
by
a
rental
subsidy.
A
You
rent
means
a
total
contract
rent
for
the
dwelling
unit,
amendment
under
security
deposits,
which
is
item
two
forty
four
point:
two
zero
four
zero
I
do
want
to
note
that
counselor,
elfin
and
I
have
been
working
on
this
ordinance
for
over
a
year
and
thank
him
for
his
leadership
on
many
of
the
important
details
of
the
ordinance
as
the
lead
author.
A
Just
want
to
note
for
my
colleagues
that
I
hope
that
you
will
take
that
very
seriously
as
we
move
forward
with
discussing
and
potentially
approving
this
ordinance
that
will
likely
need
to
be
defended
in
courts
along
with
many
of
the
other
ordinances
that
are
designed
to
help
those
who
are
both
most
vulnerable
in
our
community,
and
so
with
that
I'll
see.
If
there's
any
other
discussion
on
item
motion
amendment
one
under
two.
Forty
four
point:
two:
zero:
four:
zero
any
comments
or
questions
or
discussion.
A
I,
don't
see
any
and
we'll
just
take
that
as
a
voice
vote.
All
those
in
favor
say
aye,
any
opposed,
say
no.
That
motion
carries
and
the
brings
us
back
to
the
amendment.
The
ordinance
has
now
amended
that
brings
us
to
item
two,
the
motion
to
amend
the
criminal
history
portion
of
the
proposed
ordinance,
which
is
under
two
forty
four
point:
two:
zero
three
zero
c1
criminal
history,
caliber
Ellison
described
this.
A
With
further
discussion
from
our
City
Attorney's
Office,
it
had
been
advised
to
us
to
either
remove
the
ten
year
look-back
period
entirely,
which
would
be
one
option
or
to
do.
The
motion,
as
described
by
councilmember
Ellison
I,
want
to
say
for
the
record
that
I
would
support
removing
the
ten
year
period
altogether
because
of
the
feedback
that
I've
heard
from
my
constituents
and
folks
in
the
community
who
are
facing
barriers
to
housing,
but
I
support
the
amendment
brought
forward
by
councilmember
Ellison,
which
is
the
addition
of
additional
criminal
convictions
to
the
list.
A
A
M
So
currently,
I
think
our
original
intent
with
the
ten
year
look-back
was
to
make
sure
that
all
of
the
felonies
in
it
were
from
the
listed
cost
canon
law
state
law,
all
of
the
all
of
the
crimes
within
the
constant
in
law
that
have
a
presumptive
prison
sentence
longer
than
seven
years.
There
was
a
little
bit
of
oversight
and
so
we're
simply
adding
the
crimes
that
we
missed
into
the
ten
year.
Look-Back.
So
just
wanted
to
clarify
that.
A
Carries
and
that
that
amendment
has
been
adopted
into
the
original
ordinance
that
brings
us
to
the
staff
direction,
may
come
somewhere
else
in,
as
he
described
this
threat
staff
to
examine
the
potential
options
and
feasibility
for
a
ten
year
look-back
period.
A
J
You,
madam
president,
I,
wanted
to
offer
an
amendment
to
the
original
ordinance
proposal
and
and
I
just
want
to
state
that
the
intent
of
this
amendment
is
to
really
help
us
sort
of
differentiate
between
smaller
landlords
versus
large
multinational
corporations
that
are
involved
in
our
rental
market
and
I.
Understand
that
there
may
be
some
consternation.
J
From
from
our
community
and
from
our
legal
team,
however,
you
know
I
do
want
to
just
make
sure
that
we
are
thinking
about
smaller
landlords
as
part
of
the
solution
to
our
affordable
housing
crisis.
So
the
amendment
that
I'm
offering
is
to
exempt
owner-occupied
two
to
four
unit
residential
buildings
from
regulations
related
to
the
criminal
background
checks,
ie
look-back
spur
her
guidance
and
also
include
a
longer
phase
in
period
of
one
year
for
buildings
of
15
units
or
less.
M
M
I
know
that
there
is
a
narrative
that
says
that
the
individualized
assessment
would
maybe
leave
someone
legally
susceptible.
But
it's
also
it's
also
a
HUD
recommendation.
So
I
don't
know
how
that
narrative
would
make
sense.
Given
that
HUD
is
the
one
recommending
that
more
landlords
engage
in
this
process
and
engage
in
this
tool,
which
is
present
in
our
ordinance,
so
I'll
be
opposing
it,
because
I
feel,
like
the
the
ordinance,
does
address
the
concerns
laid
out
in
this
amendment.
L
U
Madam
chair
and
councilmember
Cunningham
I
know
that
some
council
members
have
brought
forward
this
concern.
I
am
NOT,
eirik
nilssen
was
the
direct
one
involved.
We
have
quickly
done
some
drafting
here,
but
so
I,
don't
I,
don't
know
about
the
particulars
with
these
particular
council
members.
Okay,.
L
L
L
A
I'm
happy
so
there's
supposed
to
take
that
as
a
motion
to
split
the
ordinance
which
I
suppose
we
should
oton
do
we
need
to
vote
on
the
motion
to
split
madam
Clerk?
Yes,
okay,
so
there
is
a
motion
in
front
of
us.
By
comes
my
cunningham
to
split
this
amendment
into
two
pieces.
Is
there
a
second
all,
those
in
favor
say
aye
aye,
any
opposed,
say
no
that
carries
so.
We
will
take
then
I
suppose
we'll
take
the
first
item,
as
described
here.
A
U
Madam
chair
can
I
interrupt
just
for
a
minute.
Thank
you,
man.
We
we
have
drafted
two
separate
motions
in
actual
ordinance
type
language,
I,
believe
copies
of
that
have
been
sent
to.
U
P
Thank
you
very
much.
I
was
also
interested
in
dividing
the
question
I'm
much
more
open
to
considering
a
longer
phase-in
period,
maybe
for
some
of
the
smaller
units
that
I
am
about
an
exemption.
I
think
that
would
go
counter
to
what
we
want
to
accomplish
with
the
ordinance.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
people
have
access
to
more
housing
and
that
it's
fair
access
across
the
board
and
it's
clearer
so
I'll
be
voting
against
the
first
section
but
interested
I
guess
in
hearing.
A
Thank
you,
I
have
myself
thank
you,
and
so
I'll
just
say
a
couple
things.
First,
councillor,
elfin
and
I
have
had
discussions
with
colleagues
about
the
idea
of
extending
a
phase-in
period
for
different
scenarios.
Different
types
of
housing
and
I
think
both
of
us
have
been
open
to
that
as
being
a
part
of
the
ordinance
recognizing
that,
while
we
have
created
a
way
for
smaller
landlords
to
comply
with
our
ordinance
through
the
alternative
compliance
mechanism,
the
invent
individualized
assessment
option,
which
is
in
the
ordinance
itself,
designed
to
address
those
concerns.
A
Knowing
that
folks,
you
know
with
less
capacity,
may
need
more
time.
So
I
have
less
concerns
about
that
than
a
permanent
exemption
of
particular
kinds
of
housing
and
I.
Think
because
we
have
that
safeguard
in
the
ordinance,
if
you
want
to
call
it
that
or
that
alternative
way
of
complying
with
the
ordinance
that
that
will
cover
and
help
folks
who
may
be
smaller
landlords,
you
know
not
all
of
our
small
landlords
are
in
owner-occupied
buildings.
N
Thank
You
president
bender
I
also
have
concerns
about
the
and
I
think
I
have
had
a
lot
of
conversations
with
small
landlords
who
have
come
to
talk
to
me
about
those,
many
of
whom
who
came
in
initially
opposed
and
only
talked
about
sort
of
how
the
individualized
assessment
of
work
and
how
they
actually
do
their
screenings.
A
O
I'm,
sorry,
thank
you,
madam
president,
you're,
just
speaking
to
the
second
version,
with
the
longer
phase
and
I
think
it's
a
companion
to
the
notion
of
further
collaboration
education,
the
notion
that
we
do
have
the
tailored
route
versus
the
prescribed
route.
I
have
you
know,
operators
who
are
still
not
sure
what
that
is
and
as
I
think
councilmember
Fletcher
said,
with
that
engagement.
With
that
conversation,
people
are
more
willing
to
ease
into
and
try
this
approach
and
understand.
O
A
You
capital,
Reich
and
Casimir,
makes
comments
reminded
me
of
maybe
to
highlight,
for
the
folks
are
not
on
the
housing
policy
and
Diwali
committee.
We
did
have
a
number
of
amendments
at
committee,
including
some
very
specific
language
that
is
again
embedded
into
the
ordinance
itself,
which
is
a
little
unusual
that
prescribes
how
we
have
created
an
expectation
for
staff
to
create
this
implementation
committee,
which
will
include
departments
like
regulatory
services
and
see
ped
working
together
to
create
materials
that
will
serve
as
support
resources
for
landlords.
So
that
could
look
like
you
know.
A
More
certainly
frequently
asked
questions,
but
even
potentially
model
materials
that
landlords
could
use
to
comply
with
the
individualized
assessment
piece
or
the
other
elements
of
the
ordinance.
So
I
think
that
will
be.
You
know,
I
think
the
sentiment
that's
being
described,
of
supporting
our
smaller
landlords
to
this
is
is
captured
not
only
in
the
in
the
individualized
assessment,
but
in
the
embedding
in
the
ordinance
itself
the
intention
to
create
these
materials
in
the
future
there
any
further
discussion.
So
this
will
now
be
on
the
first
motion,
which
is
under
Section.
K
R
Q
A
The
motion
fails
when
it
is
not
approved,
so
that
amendment
has
not
passed
has
failed.
That
brings
us
to
the
second
Amendment,
which
is
infront
of
us
under
Section.
2.
Sorry,
excuse
me
under
Section
2
for
four
point:
two:
zero:
three
zero,
I
under
effective
date
and
it
it
says
the
section
shall
become
effective,
June
1st
2020
with
the
amendment
except
for
property
with
15
dwelling
units
or
less,
for
which
the
effective
date
shall
be
December,
1st
2020.
A
A
Don't
know
how
many
meetings
with
us
talking
about
the
details
of
those
ordinance
and
how
we,
you
know
how
we're
going
to
enforce
it,
how
we're
going
to
track
it,
how
we're
going
to
manage
it
all
of
the
things
that
are
involved
in
implementing
it
so
not
having
had
the
chance
to
talk
with
them
about
implementation.
I
have
a
little
hesitation,
but
I
mean
I,
certainly
support
the
spirit
of
extending
the
time
of
the
effective
date
for
smaller
property
owners.
We
do
have
a
lot
of
units
within
15
dwelling
units
or
less
I.
A
M
Just
gonna
echo
that
same
sentiment:
I
am
not
opposed
to
having
a
longer
implementation
period,
but
for
the
reasons
that
the
council
president
laid
out,
I
won't
be
voting
for
this
but
yeah,
but
but
with
more
time,
I
definitely
would
have
so,
but
as
yeah
I
just
don't
know
what
it
will
take
and
if
15
is
the
right
bar
to
set
just
don't
just
don't
have
those
answers
right
right
now.
Some
also
be
opposing
because.
V
Our
Panasonic,
thank
you,
madam
chair
I'm,
curious
the
initial
amendment
had
25
units
or
less,
and
the
one
in
front
of
us
here
says
15
units
or
less
so
just
to
make
sure
that
the
intention
is
15
units
or
less
I'm,
seeing
a
head
nod
so
I
will
presume
so
that
I
would
speak
in
support
of
this
motion
of
I.
Just
would
add
that
I'm
not
sure
where
we
put
that
line.
V
I
agree
with
you,
council
president,
but
I
do
and
have
heard
from
many
landlords
that
are
not
owner-occupied
kinds
of
units,
but
are
a
far
cry
away
from
large
multinational
corporations
who
needs
to
mark
some
more
time
to
either
get
the
individualized
assessment
piece
going
or
just
need
to
figure
out
what
these
protections
mean
to
them,
and
so
I
would
support
a
longer
phase
in
time.
For
that
reason,
Thanks
thank.
R
I
P
Was
also
curious
about
the
number
I
think
I'm
generally
supportive.
This
would
just
be
it
six
months
for
the
smaller
places
to
phase
in
additional
six
months.
So
it
to
me
it
doesn't
seem
like
it's
a
big
deal.
Although
I
saw
25
now
I'm
seeing
15,
we
were
talking
about
four
units
a
little
while
ago.
It
would
be
interesting
to
get
what
the
clarification
is.
I
think
usually,
when
we
talk
about
sizes
and
missing
middles
I've
heard
six
and
10
and
20
so
I'm.
P
Not
even
if
you
don't
give
me
any
clarification,
I'll
probably
still
support
the
extension,
but
this
might
be
an
opportunity
to
give
some
clarification,
or
maybe
we
can
land
on
a
number
that
would
get
a
unanimous
vote
here.
I'm
not
sure,
but
I'll
just
put
that
out
there
I'm,
even
trying
to
think
of
how
many
are
actually
15
units
that
I'm
aware
of,
and
it
seems
like
a
strange
number
to
find
in
an
apartment
building.
That's
just
15,
not
that
there's
a
necessarily
a
typical
number,
but
so
that's
all
I
had
to
say
thanks.
P
L
You,
madam
president,
I
support
the
underlying
intention
of
this
having
an
extended
phase
in
period.
My
concern
is
that,
within
my
war
there
are
multinational
corporations
that
owned
hundreds
of
single-family
homes
that
are
single
family
units
and
so
I
would
be
interested
in
potential.
I
would
like
to
make
an
amendment
and
well
I,
don't
want
to
I,
don't
know.
L
A
You
and
I
had
myself
in
queue
anyway,
but
I
do
have
the
information
to
respond
to
that
question
again.
Normally
we
would
at
committee
we
would
have
been
able
to
invite,
stop
to
respond
and
ask
his
questions
directly
of
staff,
but
having
been
in
so
many
meetings
about
renter
actions,
I
do
know
that
actually
we
cannot
track
housing
by
LLC.
So
it's
very
difficult
for
us.
Under
our
current
regulatory
framework.
The
way
we've
set
up
our
licensing
while
all
units
are
licensed.
A
And
so,
if
the
intention
again
is
to
help
these
smaller
landlords,
I
think
the
unintended
consequence
of
this
amendment
is
actually
to
leave
the
most
vulnerable
and
lowest
income
renters
in
our
city,
out
of
the
ordinance
for
a
full
six
months.
Longer
so
I
think
Cubs
memory
should
weigh
the
intended
purpose
of
the
ordinance
to
benefit
those
again,
who
are
the
most
vulnerable,
who
are
having
the
most
trouble
getting
into
housing
and
then
also
I.
Just
ask
my
colleagues
against.
A
The
only
requirement
there
that
they
comply
with
the
Federal
Fair
Housing
Act
I
mean
we
should
be
expecting
landlords
in
Minneapolis
to
be
complying
with
the
Federal
Fair,
Housing,
Act
I.
Hope
our
landlords
don't
need
another
year
to
comply
with
federal
law,
which
is
designed
to
protect
people
who
are
our
most
vulnerable.
So
those
are
my
thoughts
and
comments
about
that.
Councilmember
Reich.
O
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
I,
took
the
Hart,
cutting
customer
Cunningham's
observation
and
and
take
the
heart
the
notion
of
how
it
would
be
hard
to
track.
However,
with
an
exemption,
you
can
always
sort
of
self
submit
a
waiver
form,
so
I
would,
in
the
spirit
of
the
suggestion
from
councillor
Cunningham.
A
Okay,
mike
has
essentially
made
a
substitute
motion
that
adds
that
language
that
he
just
described
councilmember
Goodman
thank.
S
You
ma'am
sure
I
would
think
that
we're
gonna
have
to
notify
everyone
with
a
rental
license
of
what's
going
on,
so
we're
gonna
send
something
to
everybody,
and
so
I,
like
the
affirmative,
leer
applying.
If
you
own
a
number
of
buildings,
I
mean
there
are
some,
ladies,
who
have
been
pretty
public
recently,
that
they
have
a
couple
of
different
scattered
site
houses,
but
under
15
and
they'll
get
a
license
notice
saying
that
this
has
to
happen.
Hopefully
it
will
include
a
list
of
what
you
can
screen
on,
which
is
my
big
thing.
S
Like
advance
notice,
we
should
be
telling
people
how
they
can
do
it
rather
than
telling
what
they
shouldn't
do
and
then
they
can
self-select
and
ask
for
the
extension
if
they
feel
they
need
it.
So
I
think
that
we
have
a
way
to
get
at
people
who
would
have
a
concern
about
not
being
able
to
implement
quickly
through
our
rental
licensing
system.
A
Q
I
I
A
And
so
at
a
compliment,
Fletcher
and
Q
and
request
to
read
the
motion
as
amended:
maybe
I'll
do
that
for
okay,
perfect,
so
I'll
try
and
see.
If
I
get
this
correct,
it's
not
a
welcome
correction.
So
this
would
a
man
section.
Two
four
four
point:
two:
zero:
three:
zero.
I
under
effective
date.
The
first
sentence
of
that
section
would
read:
this
section
shall
become
effective,
June,
1st
2020,
except
for
property
owners
with
15
dwelling
units
or
less,
for
which
the
effective
date
shall
be
December.
1St
2020.
A
That
amendment
passes
so
that
brings
us
back
to
the
underlying
motion,
which
has
now
been
amended
with
three
amendments
that
have
passed.
The
first
two
from
Council
are
open
and
the
second
one
just
voted
on
and
brought
my
council
members
Jenkins
and
Reich.
Are
there
any
other
amendments
or
comments?
M
Wanted
to
you
know,
I
know
we're
still
pending
a
vote
here,
but
I
wanted
to
thank
all
my
colleagues
for
at
least
showing
interest
and
having
conversations
Amin
in
in
the
US
and
as
the
two
authors
for
the
last
year
and
and
key
and
keeping
themselves
in
the
loop
as
much
as
we've
tried
to
keep
them
in
the
loop
and
also,
even
though
I
didn't
support
the
two
amendments
brought
by
councilman
Jenkins.
Today.
M
I
really
appreciate
her
interest
in
in
and
continue
championship
of
landlords,
both
in
her
ward
and
around
the
city
and
and
most
importantly,
I
want
to
thank
a
lot
of
the
renters
and
renters
advocates
who
have
been
on
the
ground,
pushing
for
a
lot
of
change
in
how
we
approach
housing.
People
in
in
our
city,
but
in
particular,
were
we're
really
the
drivers
for
the
ideas
here
in
this
ordinance
and
other
ideas
that
we
weren't
able
to
address
in
this
ordinance.
And
so
so
I
want
to.
M
Thank
always
the
the
boots
on
the
ground,
because
these
these
ideas
and
and
these
protections
don't
just
sort
of
pop
up
in
the
minds
of
councilmembers
up
here,
while
we're,
while
we're
sitting
on
the
bench
here,
they
they
really
do
come
from
the
ground
up
and
I.
Think
that
that's
important
for
for
policy
to
be
real,
that
it
come
from
the
ground
up.
So
think,
thank
you
all,
and
you
know
folks
who
are
here
not
here
for
all
the
work
that
you've
done.
So
that's
all
I
wanted
to
say.
L
You
madam
chair
first
I,
just
want
to
say
that
I'm
grateful
for
and
strongly
support
the
leadership
of
councilmember
Allison
on
this
work.
I
think
that
it's
very
much
so
needed
it's
something.
That's
also
been
reflected
to
me
as
a
Northside
council
member.
The
need
for
limited
look
back
I
would
say
that
I
do
still
have
some
unanswered
questions
that
give
that
have
that
give
me
concern
about
this
ordinance.
L
How
did
landlords
change
their
behavior
for
better
or
worse,
and
did
it
actually
increase
housing
accessibility
to
those
who
needed
it
most,
but
I
want
to
be
super
clear
that
I
strongly
support
the
underlying
intention
of
this
ordinance.
We
even
within
my
own
family,
two-thirds
of
my
immediate
family,
have
multiple
nonviolent
felonies
on
their
record
and
so
and
I
seem
that
negatively
impact
them.
L
So
I
just
want
a
first
name
that
I
support
the
underlying
intention
of
this
ordinance,
but
as
a
policymaker,
I,
look
at
data
with
policies
that
have
been
implemented
with
similar
underlining
intentions
like
ban
the
box
and
see
unintended
consequences
that
I
have
actually
expanded
the
harm,
rather
than
reduce
it
again.
As
a
child.
I
want
to
be
clear
that
I
watched
my
mother
lose
jobs
after
they
ran
a
background
criminal
check
and
then
saw
and
felt
the
devastation
of
what
that
did
to
her
and
both
our
family.
L
However,
as
a
white
woman,
she
is
an
example
of
the
greatest
beneficiaries
of
ban
the
Box.
What
Brooking,
Brookings
Institute
found
was
that
employers
adapted
their
behaviors
by
increasing
job
criteria
to
require
a
college
degree
as
a
blanket
way
of
weeding
out
potential
ex-offenders.
The
impact
was
decreasing
employment
opportunities
overall
for
black
latina
and
native
jobseekers,
and
given
our
lower
rates
of
college
degree,
attainment
I
bring
this
up
because
systemic
and
racial
oppression
adapt
and
re-emerges
in
unexpected
ways
and
the
way
that
people
behave,
and
so
the
concern
that
I
have
is
a
whack-a-mole
problem.
L
We
we
hit
it
one
place
and
then
it
pops
up
in
another.
So
what
does
that
look
like
in
this
case
that
hasn't
been
answered?
Yet
we
aren't
the
first
city
to
pass
this
ordinance
like
this,
but
we
are
basing
our
ordinance
on
their
models,
not
their
results,
and
that
is
a
concern
that
I
have,
if
folks,
have
additional
information
to
answer
these
questions.
I
gladly
welcome
that
now,
but
as
a
policymaker,
without
this
information,
I
don't
feel
comfortable
supporting
this
ordinance
at
this
particular
time.
L
I
would
ask
for
my
colleagues,
though,
to
consider
delaying
this
item
for
two
cycles
in
order
to
convene
the
workgroup
that
was
just
as
described
two
council
members,
councilmember
Goodman
staff
direction
to
define
metrics
for
the
implementation
of
this
ordinance.
I
think
that's
something
that
we
really
need
to
get
in
line
prior
to
implementation,
to
be
able
to
gather
data
of
results
from
other
cities
and
then
amend
the
ordinance
to
better
get
ahead
of
unintentional
unintended
consequences.
L
So
I,
just
I
would
prefer
to
not
vote
against
this
ordinance
because
I
support
it.
The
concern
that
I
have
is
when
we
look
at
similar
underlying
intentions
like
ban
the
Box.
When
we
look
at
what
ended
up
happening,
is
it
cause
greater
harm
to
the
folks
who
needed
to
support
the
most?
And
so
when
we
write
these
sort
of
ordinances?
L
I
just
want
us
to
be
as
intentional
as
possible
of
getting
ahead
of
potential
adaptations
and
behavior,
so
that
we
can
think
about
the
various
ways
that
systemic
oppression
will
continue
to
show
up
by
working
around
or
through
the
ordinances
and
policies
that
us
well-intended
policy
makers,
sometimes
that
we
bring
forward.
So
I
don't
want
to
necessarily
at
this
time
bring
forward
a
motion,
because
I
would
like
to
hear
there
here
for
my
colleagues
on
that.
A
motion
to
delay,
but
but
I
would
like
for
folks
to
take
that
into
consideration.
A
Have
myself
thank
you,
I'm
I
I
know:
we've
had
many
conversations
over
the
last
couple
of
years
and
even
going
back
to
2016
when
the
innovation
team
first
completed
the
study
that
showed
that
of
the
3,000
evictions
that
happen
in
Minneapolis
every
year
has
having
dramatic
and
disproportionate
impact
in
in
in
many
Minneapolis
neighborhoods.
Through
that
study,
we
learned
that
in
the
North
Minneapolis
it
codes,
half
of
renter's
have
an
eviction
filing
on
their
record
in
the
last
three
years,
and
we
know
from
information
talking
with
with
folks
in
the
court
system.
A
Renter
advocates
and
renters
themselves
that
having
an
eviction
filing
in
a
city
with
a
two
percent
rental
vacancy
rate
with
rents,
rising
17
percent
in
the
last
ten
years,
with
showing
no
stop
no
sign
of
slowing
down
that
the
most
vulnerable
renters
in
our
community
are
basically
found
either
with
no
housing
at
all
or
in
the
most
predatory
housing
in
our
city,
where
they
are
charged.
Multiple
deposits,
fines
and
fees,
making
it
expensive
and
very
out
of
reach
for
our
working
families
to
even
get
into
housing
and
where
they
are
vulnerable
to
eviction
for
retaliation.
A
We
have
a
housing,
homelessness,
crisis
homelessness
rose,
50
percent
in
just
one
year,
and
our
neighbors
are
living
on
the
streets
because
they
don't
have
the
protections
that
they
need
to
get
in
to
stay
into
affordable
housing.
This
ordinance
will
not
solve
all
of
the
problems
that
are
facing,
though
income
renters
in
our
community.
We
are
one
of
the
a
handful
of
communities
across
the
country
that
are
applying
this
approach
of
fair
chance,
housing
to
in
ordinance.
So
I
don't
believe
that
there
is
data
available
from
the
other
cities
that
have
presented
this
ordinance.
A
That
show
for
a
fact
that
in
ordinance
like
this
will
meet
the
stated
goals
of
the
ordinance.
But
we
do
know
that
the
status
quo
is
not
working
for
working
families
in
our
city.
We
have
lots
of
evidence
and
data
to
show
that
renters
in
our
community
low
income
renters
in
our
community
and
renters
of
color,
are
being
exploited
in
our
market,
and
this
is
one
of
the
very
least
things
we
can
do
to
help
protect
renters
and
frankly,
if
my
colleagues
wants
to
further
strengthen
our
ability
to
protect,
renters
I,
think
there's
lots
more.
A
A
Ohio
is
considering
I
think
our
city
should
study
rent
increase
caps
like
the
ones
that
have
been
proposed
that
were
recently
passed
in
Oregon
and
California
and
are
being
proposed
around
the
country,
because
when
we
go
to
protect
renters
landlords
say
we'll
just
increase
the
rent,
I,
don't
think
landlords
in
our
city
should
be
able
to
increase
their
rent
by
a
completely
unregulated
amount
at
any
time
forcing
more
renters
onto
the
streets.
So
I
hope
that
we
do
see
this
as
a
very
small
step
forward
for
renters
in
our
community
and
I.
A
J
You,
madam
chair,
you
know
I
really
want
to
be
real,
clear,
I,
absolutely
support
the
spirit
and
intent
of
this
ordinance
change
and
we'll
be
voting
in
favor
of
it.
I
concur
with
councilmember
Cunningham.
The
pernicious
nature
of
racism
and
oppression
is
one
of
the
most
significant
barriers
to
access
to
affordable
housing
for
people
in
our
community.
I
also
would
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
state
the
obvious
that
the
real
solution
to
this
issue
is
the
creation
of
more
housing.
J
That
is,
as
has
not
been
stated
enough
and
I
know
that
we
all
understand
that
that
is
a
part
of
the
solution,
as
well
as
looking
at
I.
Think
some
of
the
more
drastic
measures
that
have
been
identified
this
morning,
like
red
caps
and
and
such
I,
do,
however,
believe
that
the
most
effective
way
is
for
us
to
continue
to
support
landlords
so
that,
because
they
are
creating
affordable
housing
for
our
communities
and
and
continue
to
work
with
landlords
who
are
responsible
and
and
continue.
J
M
I
just
want
to
say
I
I
wouldn't
support
it,
a
delay
for
for
a
number
of
reasons,
but
I
also
just
wanted
to
name
that
these
this
ordinance
is
exists
within
a
body
of
work
and
doesn't
exist
on
its
own
right.
We
have
advance
notice
of
sale,
which
has
a
number
of
tenant
protections
embedded
within
it.
We
last
year
in
the
budget.
We
up
are
the
city's
commitment
to
providing
legal
services
for
tenants
in
housing
court
up
to
half
a
million
dollars.
M
We've
made
changes
internally
so
with
the
retro
first
policy
to
make
sure
that
we
are
not
just
examining
the
structures
right
and
and
and
condemning
them
or,
but
that
we're
really
prioritizing
keeping
tenants
in
place
exercising
more
tra
s,
and
so
this
work
exists
within
a
larger
body
of
work
and
is
not
supposed
to
execute
on
its
own.
The
heavy
lift
of
making
stabilizing
people
in
their
housing
and
so
and
so
I
think
that
I
don't
know
that
a
delay
would
make
sense.
M
I
also
would
say
that
this
this
work,
especially
these
look-back
periods
around
the
country
they
they
are
new
policies
and
I-
think
that
it's
important
to
I
think
it's
important
to
be
one
of
the
leaders
on
a
policy
like
this
to
the
cat
to
the
council
president's
point.
We
know
that
folks,
with
with
with
with
eviction
histories,
have
trouble
getting
house.
Do
we
really
need
to
delay
understand?
You
know
we
really
need
to
delay
this
process.
M
We
also
know
that
that
we
have
in
our
communities
folks
who
have
put
felonies
way
behind
way
behind
them
right.
Do
we
really
need
a
delay
before
we
start
moving
on
the
implementation
of
this
policy?
I?
Don't
think
that
we
do
I
think
data
is
is
vitally
important,
but
I
also
think
that
there
are
times
where
the,
where
the
problem
is
evident
and
you
don't
have
the
data
and
if
you
wait
for
it,
you
are
by
the
you're
gonna
you're
gonna
exacerbate
the
problem
that
was
truthful.
That
was
true
for
coal
mining
regulation.
M
That
was
true
for
the
school-to-prison
pipeline.
I
think
it
could
be
true
here.
I
think
that
we've
got
to
be
a
city,
that's
leading
on
this
policy
and
so
I
wouldn't
support
a
delay
and
and
and
I
and
I
do
look
forward
to
hopefully
passing
this
day
and
and
getting
in
the
room
with
the
implementation
team
to
to
make
sure
that
we
do
roll
this
policy
out
thoroughly.
M
S
You,
madam
chair,
in
the
spirit
of
giving
advice
to
which
I
think
is
what
councilmember
Cunningham
had
asked
for
what
is
your
opinion?
I
would
also
say
at
this
point.
It
probably
does
not
make
sense
to
delay
this
action
and
here's
why
we
put
together
an
implementation
team
through
an
amendment
that
was
made
in
committee
and
that
implementation
team
has
been
tasked
with
trying
to
work
out.
S
Some
of
the
questions
that
have
been
raised
in
councilmember
Cunningham
legitimately
raises
questions
with
regard
to
data
and
outcomes,
and
those
are
things
that
should
be
discussed
within
the
implementation
team,
I'm
fearful
that
if
we
delay
this,
it
doesn't
do
anything
really
because
we're
still
there's
strong
support
for
the
ordinance
we're
still
moving
forward.
It's
just
a
question
of
how
we're
going
to
review
success
or
not
so
I.
Don't
I,
don't
see
any
reason
to
do
that.
S
I
think
the
advocates
who
want
to
delay
want
to
delay
because
they
don't
like
it
at
all,
and
this
would
be
disappointing
to
them
ii.
Think
the
intent
to
delay
was
to
not
do
anything
at
all
and
I
know
I'm.
Looking
right
at
you,
you
know
that
to
be
true,
any
delay
is
not
to
stop
this.
It's
just
simply
to
add,
potentially
more
regulations
to
it,
who
knows
a
delay
could
go
in
any
direction,
so
I
think
it
makes
sense
to
move
forward
with
this.
S
Definitely
don't
think
people
who
have
been
convicted
of
a
crime
and
served
their
time
and
been
released
into
the
community
shouldn't
be
able
to
get
housing
because,
in
the
end,
that's
what's
going
to
cause
a
recidivism
problem,
and
so
these
are
very
minor
things.
I
think
that
we'll
try
to
even
the
playing
field
for
people
who
have
had
some
trouble
in
their
lives,
all
of
which
any
of
us
could
have
been
in
that
same
sort
of
trouble.
So
I
asked
the
question
of
advice:
I.
S
I
L
Cunningham
think
about
a
president
and
thank
you,
councilmember
Goodman,
for
that
feedback.
I
just
want
to
also
just
be
clear
that
I
am
one
of
the
folks
who
would
benefit
from
this
because
of
the
fact
that
I
have
had
terrible
credit
for
a
long
time
because
of
student
loans
and
medical
debt,
and
so
I
get
the
intention,
because
I
have
lived
it
and
so
I
support
getting
folks
and
more
housing
and
I
appreciate
the
underlying
concern
that
I'm
expressing
is
the
actual
outcomes
rather
than
the
problem
itself.
L
A
On
the
ordinance
I,
don't
see
any
I,
don't
usually
do
this,
but
I
do
think
that,
since
this
has
taken
so
much
time
and
effort,
I
just
do
want
to
pause
and
just
thank
a
few
people
for
their
efforts
and,
first
and
foremost,
khansamar
Ellison.
For
being
the
lead
author
on
this
ordinance.
It
was
a
pleasure
to
partner
with
you
in
bringing
this
forward
and
I.
Think
I
see
it
as
one
of
many
things
that
we
will
all
be
doing
together
in
the
future.
A
So
I
just
want
to
state
that
clearly
that
it
is
our
job
to
dig
into
the
details
and
debate
and
ask
each
other
hard
questions
and
I
appreciate
every
council.
Member
who's
done
that
either
there
before
we
got
here
to
make
this
ordinance,
you
know
work
for
everyone
and
really
reflect
all
of
the
different
experiences
in
our
city,
and
no
one
can
do
that
better
than
the
councilmember
who's
representing
their
own
ward.
I
do
this
wouldn't
have
happened
without
the
renter
advocates
and
activists
and
renters
themselves,
demanding
change
in
a
Ward.
A
That's
80
percent
renter.
You
know
this.
Frankly,
it's
a
drop
in
the
bucket
to
what
we
need
to
do
to
support
people
to
be
able
to
afford
to
live
in
our
community
and
I'm,
proud
of
the
work
and
I
stand
behind
it,
but
I'm
a
little
flabbergasted
that
it
took
so
much
time
and
effort
to
pass
what
I
think
is
a
very
moderate
and
small
change
and
you
showed
up
anyway.
I
know.
A
This
is
not
what
you
envisioned
when
we
started
this
conversation,
and
we
appreciate
you
taking
your
time,
the
labor
and
the
efforts
of
people
who
came
to
share
their
painful
personal
stories.
You
know
folks,
who
could
be
at
work
or
who
are
not
being
paid
to
come,
like
the
lobbyists
who
work
for
landlords
are
individual
people
coming
to
share
their
personal
stories
to
help
us
understand
what
it's
like
to
be
a
renter
in
our
community?
That
is
that
you
know
my
thinks
really
goes
beyond
words,
and
you
know.
A
I
do
also
want
to
just
highlight
that
this
was
work
done
by
five
or
six
different
city
departments
and
the
leadership
of
the
department,
heads
and
the
staff
who
worked
on
this
was
really
important
and
we
still
I
think
face.
You
know
we
face
a
lot
of
legitimate
questions
about
any
particular
policy
change
and
I.
A
I've
ever
worked
on
our
policy
aides
dug
in
and
did
research
and
community
engagement-
and
you
know,
had
many
meetings
per
week
for
the
last
year
to
bring
this
ordinance
to
us
today
and
I
just
really
want
to
thank
Gianna,
Pennington
and
Danny
Hans
for
all
of
your
work
above
and
beyond,
in
addition
to
all
that
you're
doing
to
bring
this
ordinance
to
us.
So
thank
you,
council,
vice-president.
Thank.
J
Access
to
affordable
housing
is
a
crisis
in
this
country
to
the
point
that
it,
it
actually
grows
to
discussion
level
at
democratic
debates
last
night,
and
so
this
is
a
deeply
seemingly
intractable
problem.
This
is
only
one
effort
towards
alleviating
that
issue,
but
I
am
deeply
grateful
for
for
your
leadership
in
your
efforts,
as
well
as
the
advocacy
community
who
have
been
really
reaching
out
to
all
of
us
and
expressing
their
support
and
concerns
about
these
issues,
and
so
I
wanted
to
just
take
a
moment
to
publicly
state
that.
Thank
you
so
much.

that
we
were
contemplating
as
a
city
in
terms
of
our
energy
efficiency
goals
that
clearly
the
built
environment
needs
to
contribute
to,
and
perhaps
a
more
accelerated
in
a
more
robust
way,
and
so
that
fuel
testing
would
have
happened
without
the
great
work
of
several
different
departments
and
people
that
worked
on
it
and
I
just
wanted
to
know
what
that
worked,
particularly
the
work
done
by
our
colleagues,
poor,
Haiti
and
handling
they
really
dug
into
this
field
test.
As
we
contemplate
greater
ideas
and
I
know.
O
A
Q
Q
A
J
R
Q
A
Items
carry
and
that
agenda
has
been
adopted.
The
next
order
of
business
is
a
notice
of
ordinance
introductions
and
we
have
three
items:
first,
councilmember
Schrader
and
I
give
notice
introduced
at
the
next
regular
meeting
the
subject
matter
of
an
ordinance
amending
the
zoning
code
to
include
regulations
establishing
inclusionary
zoning.
A
Are
there
any
questions
on
any
of
these
introductions
seeing
none
those
notices
are
given
and
no
further
action
is
required.
The
next
order
of
business
is
resolutions,
and
we
have
the
two
honorary
resolutions
presented
this
morning.
First,
we
are
celebrating
Latino
Heritage
Month
and
we
are
declaring
September
20
through
29
as
the
10
days
free
from
violence.
And
finally,
we
are
recognizing
city
coordinator,
Maria,
Rivera
van
der
Meyde
for
her
years
of
service
service
to
the
city
of
Minneapolis.
A
Any
discussion
on
those
seeing
none
all
in
favor,
say
aye
any
opposed,
say
no,
there's
Carrie
and
our
adopted.
That
brings
us
to
the
order
of
unfinished
business
and
we
do
have
the
resolution
that
was
sent
forward
from
the
Enterprise
Committee
in
the
prior
cycle,
related
to
the
creation
of
a
for
tofu
Toro
Latino
empowerment,
commission
I'll
recognize
the
chair,
councilman
Palmisano,
for
that
motion.
Thank.
V
You,
madam
president,
it's
with
great
pride
that
I
get
to
queue
up,
councilmember
condos
efforts
here
to
lift
up
our
Latino
community's
voice
by
establishing
or
some
might
say,
reestablishing
and
reorganizing.
This
commission.
We
felt
it
best
to
partner
this
action
with
the
celebration
of
Latino,
Heritage,
Month
and
I
feel
it's
also
a
unique
way
to
continue
the
internal
voice
of
our
first
Latina
City
coordinator
issue
on
our
diversity
is
one
of
our
city's
greatest
assets
and
we
are
all
going
to
use
our
voice.
I
know
all
of
you
and
I
know.
V
B
You,
madam
president,
Thank
You,
councilman
Palmisano,
so
just
a
quick
reminder:
this
is
a
sort
of
a
refresh.
The
city
of
Minneapolis
had
established
a
Latino
advisory
board
in
the
90s
and
has
since
then
you
know
the
the
energy
of
the
committee
has
gone
up
and
down.
So
we
are
looking
to
leverage
the
momentum
of
our
times
on
this
topic
to
really
kick
off
this
effort
and
trying
to
bring
more
energy
into
it.
B
So
I
believe
that
each
council
member
will
be
able
to
appoint
a
latina
resident
to
the
committee
and
the
neighborhood
and
community
relations
department
will
be
helping
to
kind
of
manage
and
oversee
the
process,
but
as
soon
as
those
appointments
are
ready
to
be
made
in
the
process
ready
to
kick
off
after
we
approve
this
today.
Now
your
office's
will
be
noticed
and
you
can
keep
your
eye
out
for
people
who
you
might
want
to
bring
into
the
fold
and
and
help
uplift
this
community
reality.
So
thank
you
so
much
thank.
R
A
M
Got
open
streets
on
West
Broadway
this
weekend
so
come
over
to
West
Broadway
this
Saturday,
and
this
should
be
a
good
time
I'll
be
around
so
just
want
to
let
everybody
know
thank.
A
None
we
concluded
all
the
items
on
our
agenda.
We
do
have
a
request
for
a
closed
session
to
discuss
the
litigation
on
our
agenda,
which
is
a
litigation
matter
of
Keith
Daniel
versus
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
so
I'd
entertain
a
motion
to
first
adjourn
to
a
meeting
of
the
Minneapolis
Community
Development
Agency
Board
of
Commissioners,
for
considering
a
bond
issuance
and
then
to
the
closed
session
in
room
315
to
discuss
the
litigation
litigation
matter
is
our
motion
so.
