Description
Minneapolis Intergovernmental Relations Committee Meeting
https://lims.minneapolismn.gov/
A
When
everyone
has
had
the
opportunity
to
speak,
we
will
continue
the
public
hearing
tomorrow
morning,
July
25th
at
10:30
a.m.
at
that
point,
we'll
take
any
additional
testimony
and
the
committee
will
be
able
to
take
action
on
all
the
items
on
today's
agenda
and
so
at
this
point,
I
won't
invite
staff
I
believe
mr.
inter
meal
to
give
a
presentation
on
this
item.
Madam.
B
B
So
the
first
of
three
sets
of
changes
to
the
chapter
nine
point:
three
of
our
city
charter
is
related
to
changing
the
date
certain
by
which
the
mayor
must
make
a
recommendation
of
the
budget
to
the
City,
Council
and
board
of
estimate
and
Taxation.
So
under
current
language,
that
recommendation
must
happen
by
August
15th,
and
you
see
that
bolded
and
on
the
left
side
of
the
slide
here.
B
The
second
recommendation
is
to
clarify
the
level
of
detail
required
in
that
recommended
budget,
and
this
relates
to
some
discussion
that
was
had
after
the
delivery
of
the
2018
recommended
budget
at
the
end
of
2017.
It's
just
some
clarifying
language
intended
to
make
sure
that
everything
is
being
submitted
as
intended
and.
B
Then
the
final
and
perhaps
most
discussed
change
is
moving
to
a
biennial
budget
process
and
that's
really
throughout
the
marked
up
version
of
the
Charter
that
you
see
in
front
of
you
and
that
would
create
a
process
wherein,
under
the
even
year,
which
would
be
the
first
and
third
year
of
a
term.
A
mayor
recommends
a
biennial
budget
for
the
following
two
years
and
in
the
odd
year
the
mayor
may
recommend
the
supplemental
budget,
but
isn't
required
to
I.
B
C
Thank
you,
madam
vice
president,
members
of
committee,
I
want
to
just
give
a
little
refresher.
This
past
January.
We
had
a
longer
in-depth
presentation
on
biennial
budgeting
as
an
initiative
and
I'm,
not
here
to
repeat
that
rather
I
assure
you.
We've
continued
this
with
your
feedback
and
had
more
meetings
as
a
workgroup,
etc.
Last
time
we
were
before
this
body,
we
unanimously
referred
this
to
the
Charter
Commission,
the
public
hearing
before
the
Charter
Commission
was
in
April
of
this
year
and
through
that
process
we
heard
a
wide
variety
of
support
from
different
sectors.
C
You'll
recall
that
a
committee
of
the
whole
we
had
several
department
heads
provide
testimony
about
how
this
would
positively
impact
their
work
and
their
ability
to
serve
our
city
and
to
give
us
as
policymakers,
enough
information
to
make
good
budget
decisions.
I
found
this
true
I
can
stay
before
you
now
just
do
it
every
single
department
that
I
have
had
this
conversation
with
this
started
as
an
inner
as
an
internal
initiative,
but
my
role
is
budget.
Chair
was
to
see
to
analyze
consensus
in
every
body
that
touches
our
budget
process,
which
is
very
broad
here.
C
I
highlight
the
many
intro
jurisdictional
partners
that
have
been
part
of
this
work
and
want
to
point
out.
We
are
all
on
the
same
page
of
consensus
and
that's
a
big
lift.
A
unanimous
resolution
from
our
Park
and
Rec
board
is
a
big
lift
in
and
of
itself.
These
workgroup
sessions
were
intense
and
to
keep
the
balance
of
power
intact.
Here
that
was
really
important,
and
it
was
important
that
we
got
to
that
point
of
consensus.
So
all
of
these
people
were
in
these
work
groups.
C
C
I
think
we
cannot
assess
impact
of
things
we're
doing
when
we
don't
have
time
to
monitor
and
to
measure
and
to
check
in
our
base.
Budget
is
growing.
Our
base
service
level
this
year
to
keep
our
city
running
with
no
new
changes
is
over
7%.
Our
projection
for
next
year
is
over
8%
our
pilot
programs.
Our
grant
funds
barely
have
time
to
get
the
ground
before
we
need
to
make
decisions
about
funding
them
for
the
next
year.
We're
funding
them
in
an
ongoing
way.
C
C
Here's
there's
a
list
right
here.
This
is
good
governance
and
I
think
we
should
try
it
to
Detroit,
as
I
was
just
mentioning
to
councilmember.
Allison's
family
is
using
this
as
a
key
component
as
they
work
to
emerge
from
bankruptcy
and
thrive
again.
What
can
we
do
short
of
a
charter
change?
Well,
I
would
say:
we've
already
done
some
of
that
work.
The
change
in
our
results,
reporting
doing
that
in
public
recorded
and
in
committee
is
a
new
wide-open
line
of
sight
into
departments
and
our
government
spending
I've
met
with
state
lawmakers
on
this.
C
As
you
know,
the
state
is
a
by
any
biennial
process.
Representatives,
Jim
Dabney
from
the
aspect
he's
a
leader
of
development,
of
a
large
piece
of
our
state
budget,
with
significant
tenure
representatives
Jamie
along
in
Mohammed,
nor
as
freshmen
that
have
been
on
the
ground
running
with
a
vision
of
how
to
become
efficient
very
quickly.
They
see
value
in
evolving
how
we
do
budgeting.
In
fact,
even
the
state
right
now
has
a
subcommittee
at
the
house
level
to
see
if
they
can
make
changes
that
would
improve
their
process.
C
One
of
those
anecdotally
is
extending
their
ability
to
be
in
session
longer
so
after
this
very
long
effort
and
with
a
positive
outlook
on
what
this
can
do,
it's
time
to
ask
your
support.
There's
a
lot
who've
assisted
in
this
work
effort
and
can't
make
this
public
hearing
I
want
to
thank
them
for
their
advice
and
guidance,
particularly
Jim
McDonough.
C
A
A
E
Trans
Study
Commission
in
2008
and
I
have
been
teaching
budget
analysis
at
the
Humphrey
school
for
graduate
students
for
over
10
years
now,
I've
also
been
a
resident
of
the
city
of
Minneapolis
since
1967,
so
I've
had
an
opportunity
to
view
the
budget
process
for
the
point
of
view
as
a
citizen
as
well.
Let
me
give
you
a
couple
points
that
I
think
are
really
important.
E
The
biennial
budget
works
exceedingly
well
at
the
state
level,
I've
done
the
annual
budget
and
the
biennial
budget
and
the
biennial
budget
ends
up
being
far
more
thoughtful.
People
spend
more
time
thinking
about
what's
going
on,
they
have
more
time
to
work
on.
It
second
point
is
that
there's
less
busy
work
proposing
a
budget
by
less
busy
work
by
the
department's
by
the
budget
office,
compiling
the
budgets
mayor
and
council
time
in
reviewing
the
annual
budgets.
E
What
the
state
does
you
could
also
think
about,
and
that's
working
on
the
capital
budget
in
the
operating
budget
year.
The
state
of
Minnesota
spends
a
lot
of
time
on
the
capital
budget
and
it's
a
good
way
to
free
up
that
time.
To
do
that
further,
the
budget
could
still
be
revised
in
the
off
year.
Just
because
you're
not
doing
the
budget
annually
doesn't
mean
you
can't
make
necessary
changes
in
the
off
year.
E
State
of
Minnesota,
the
governor
actually
proposes
changes,
mid
term
or
mid
cycle,
and
you
could
do
the
same
here
in
the
last
point
is
really
that
it
leaves
the
council
of
the
mayor
and
city
departments
far
more
time
to
look
into
things
in
greater
detail
to
do
more
of
a
programmatic
look
rather
than
a
simple
fiscal.
Look
and
I
think
it
would
be
a
very
smart
idea
for
the
city
to
move
to
an
annual
or
biennial
budget
process
and
I'd
stand
for
any
questions
you
might
have.
E
A
D
Thank
you
good
afternoon
vice-chair
Jenkins
and
council
members.
My
name
is
Julie
Wiseman
and
I'm
the
finance
director
for
the
Minneapolis
Park
and
Recreation
Board
I.
Thank
you
for
this
opportunity
to
address
the
committee
in
support
of
the
biennial
budget
process
charter
amendment
the
Minneapolis,
Park
and
Recreation
Board
has
worked
closely
with
the
city
in
the
development
of
this
charter
amendment
and
on
March
6th
of
2019.
The
board
of
commissioned
commissioners
through
resolution
expressed
their
official
support
for
an
amendment
to
the
Minneapolis
city
charter
to
establish
a
biennial
budget
process.
D
F
Also
being
someone
who
has
six
people
in
a
one-bedroom
apartment
and
I've
been
on
welfare,
and
my
family
has
been
on
section
eight,
which
eventually
drove
my
mother
and
father.
Apart
right,
they
say
it's
a
cliche,
but
it's
real
having
the
time
to
sit
down
and
really
think
about
how
we
can
fix
the
issues
that
we
have
with
the
budget
that
we
have
I
think
would
be
a
lot
more.
F
G
H
Vice
president
council
president's
point,
I
can
take
a
starting
point
and
other
people
can
certainly
add,
but
because
this
is
an
amendment
by
ordinance
made
under
Minnesota
statutes
for
10.12.
It
requires
the
unanimous
vote
of
the
entire
council
for
passage.
It
also
requires
the
approval
of
the
mayor.
There
are
strict
timelines
dictated
by
statute
which
determine
how
long
we
have
to
act
once
the
Charter
Commission
has
passed
that
proposal
back
to
the
council,
which
means
that
the
public
hearing
process
must
be
completed
by
August
2nd.
H
The
statute
dictates
that
after
the
hearing
is
closed,
the
council
has
one
month
in
which
to
act
on
that
proposal,
which
means
the
final
date
to
act
would
be
Friday,
August
23rd.
So
in
order
to
keep
us
within
that
statutory
clock,
we're
hoping
to
adjourn
this
meeting
today
to
tomorrow,
so
that
it's
not
a
closure
of
the
hearing
legally
we're
continuing
the
IGR
committee
meeting
and
this
hearing
to
tomorrow,
following
the
City
Council
at
10:30
a.m.
H
or
as
soon
as
the
regular
meeting
of
the
full
City
Council
concludes,
because
this
meeting
is
being
noted
today
that
we're
continuing
we're
a
journey
to
tomorrow.
No
further
public
notice
is
required
because
under
the
state
law,
if
we
give
the
notice
of
continuance
at
this
meeting,
that's
sufficient
and.
G
H
The
council
will
conduct
its
regular
meeting
tomorrow
and
after
the
council
meeting
adjourns.
The
IGR
committee
meeting
of
today
will
then
convene
as
an
adjourned
meeting
it's
not
a
special
meeting.
It's
a
continuation
in
this
meeting
today
and
when
the
committee
meets
and
concludes
its
work
as
we
anticipate
tomorrow
and
we
can
close
the
public
hearing,
then
it
will
refer
to
the
council
its
recommendation
through
the
next
cycle,
as
long
as
we're
timed
within
a
final
action
that
a
council
by
that
Friday
August
23rd.
So
tomorrow
is
not
a
special
meeting.
H
G
You
so
I
think
for
the
reason
I
asked.
Some
of
these
questions
was
related
to
the
quorum
needed,
both
at
Taro's
igr
committee
meeting,
as
well
as
ensuring
that,
whenever
we're
able
to
vote
on
the
assuming
the
council,
the
committee
takes
action
to
move
it
forward
to
council.
We
would
then
need
to
make
sure
that
we
had
the
entire
City
Council
present
and
I
know.
There's
a
lot
of
various
things
that
you
know
reasons
council
members
are
so
I'm,
assuming
that
our
offices
are
talking
about
this,
but.
H
Madam
vice
president,
madam
president,
yes
I
should
have
anticipated
that
and
yes,
all
of
the
ward
offices
are
heavily
engaged
in
making
sure
and
checking
calendars
that
we
can
assure
a
full
complement
of
all
13
council
members
at
our
next
succeeding
council
meetings
in
the
regular
cycle
so
that
either
on
the
8th
or
the
23rd,
we
have
all
13
to
secure
the
passage
of
13
affirmative
votes.
If
we
can
and
then
get
that
to
the
mayor
for
the
mayor's
consideration.
So,
yes,
the
ward
offices
at
your
staff
are
working
right
now
to
review
the
calendars.
H
G
A
I
I
Just
keeps
me
more
balanced,
so,
as
I
mentioned,
I'm
Marcus
Mills
today
I'm
as
many
people
have
known
as
I've,
been
charged
to
speak
for
many
different
organizations
in
the
past
today.
This
is
just
my
opinion,
so
I
want
to
make
that
clear.
I
wanted
to
say
that
having
had
several
conversations
with
staff
and
council
members
on
this
particular
issue,
I
wanted
to
state
my
general
support
for
the
idea
of
biennial,
but
each
day
the
concepts
as
I
understand
them.
I
That
I
think
are
worthwhile
to
consider
in
this
process
is
that
it
gives
staff
and
the
City
Council
and
various
departments
the
ability
to
kind
of
study.
What's
working,
what
isn't
the
processes
that
need
to
be
revised
and
rethought
get
a
handle
on
things
that
may
have
been
going
on
long
past.
Their
process
I've
actually
learned
about
something
that
I
like
to
refer
to
as
zombie
money,
which
is
just
the
idea
of
allocated
money,
is
created
that
are
dedicated
ongoing
to
projects
that
we've
forgotten.
That
may
not
exist
any
longer.
I
It
happens
from
time
to
time,
and
it's
something
that
I
think.
If
people
had
a
more
regular
hand
on
would
see
this
as
a
worthwhile
thing
to
give
folks
a
chance
to
go
back
and
check
on
those
kinds
of
things
if
people
are
looking
for
in
several
of
the
budget
conversations
earlier,
people
are
looking
for
tax
relief.
If
you
were
looking
for
a
way
to
do
that,
finding
that
zombie
money
and
putting
it
where
money
needs
to
go
means,
we
don't
have
to
allocate
more
so
there's
one
option
that
I
see
the
one
trepidation.
I
That
I
think
we
should
consider
is
that
the
Supplemental
capabilities
for
when
we
need
different
budget
allocation
on
the
fly
we
need
to
make
sure
the
public
is
as
notified
about
those
concepts
as
anything
else
other
than
that.
I.
Think
that,
because
these
ideas
are
the
kind
of
thing
that
a
person
like
myself,
who
has
been
involved
in
a
lot
of
these
process,
barely
knew
about
some
of
these
things,
it's
a
worthwhile
council
process
to
go
ahead
and
put
forward.
Then
I'll
leave
my
comments
at
that.
Thank
you
very
much
have
a
good
day.
Thank.
