Description
Minneapolis Enterprise Committee Meeting
https://lims.minneapolismn.gov/
A
Good
afternoon
welcome
to
the
enterprise
committee
meeting.
This
is
our
regular
meeting
of
July
18th
2019.
My
name
is
Lenny
Palmisano
and
I
chair.
This
committee
with
me
here
on
the
dais
is
vice-chair
Alondra
Cano,
council
members,
Kevin
Reich,
Steve,
Fletcher
and
Lisa
Goodman
and
we've
also
been
joined
today
for
I.
Believe
item
number
one:
the
update
on
the
premise
owned
by
council
members,
I,
listen
and
Cunningham
you're
welcome
to
move
down
and
be
friendly.
A
A
Enterprise
Committee
I
would
like
to
then
add
a
staff
direction
that
councilmember
Cano
has
been
working
on
and
I'll
place
that
in
for
number
four
I
believe
copies
are
available
through
the
clerk,
and
you
all
have
this.
People
on
the
dais
have
this
before
you.
It
is
in
regards
to
arts
and
the
creative
economy
and
an
internal
work
group
that
we've
been
discussing,
so
we
have
our
first
as
an
update
on
the
promise
zone.
A
This
comes
from
time
that
we
didn't
have
in
the
results
meetings,
and
we
just
knew
that
we
wanted
to
delve
further
into
this.
We
really
many
of
us
haven't
heard
about
it.
For
a
few
years,
the
council,
member
of
who's,
the
council
members
who's
Ward,
is
in
works
with
about
works
on
this
on
a
regular
basis
with
the
people
here
ready
to
give
us
an
update
today.
So,
let's,
let's
bring
this
conversation
forward,
welcome
Julie.
B
B
A
B
So
this
is
I
just
given
you
a
quick
summary
of
what
I'm
going
to
talk
about,
which
is
the
the
designation
which
comes
out
of
Housing
and
Urban
Development
at
the
Fed
and
what
our
obligations
and
expectations
are
from
the
federal
government.
The
preference
points
are
AmeriCorps
vistas
who
are
here
with
me
today
highlights
of
some
of
my
work
specifically
and
then,
where
we're
proposing
to
go
with
the
work
of
the
promise
zone.
B
So
the
promise
zone
was
designated
and
will
officially
receive
the
designation
in
2015
and
we
did
actually
applied
twice
in
2013
and
2014
and
we're
not
successful
the
first
time
promise
zones
across
the
country
there
are
22
and
the
reason
for
the
designation
was
looking
at
communities
where
there
are
significant
disparities
oftentimes
by
race.
In
our
case
that
that
is,
it
is
by
race.
However,
there
is
also
a
promise
zone
in
Appalachia,
but
there's
very
stark
differences
in
class
in
those
areas,
and
it
touches
rural
tribal,
urban,
red
and
blue
states.
B
So
it
really
is
was
an
effort
to
try
to
work
on
making
things
more
equitable
and
communities,
and
you
can
see
some
of
the
data
that
we
put
together.
This
is
2013
through
2017
data,
so
we
have
the
mp0
census,
tracts
versus
the
city
of
Minneapolis
as
a
whole,
see
we
have
some
work
to
do
in
the
city
as
a
whole,
but
specifically
in
the
promise
zone.
The
cost
burden,
households,
for
example,
and
the
cost
burden
for
renters
is
meaning
the
severely
cost
burden
is
50%
or
more
of
income
going
towards
housing.
B
B
So
we
can
see.
We've
been
off
a
lot
as
the
city,
our
goals,
the
kind
of
underpinning
of
the
work
is
the
advancing
racial
equity
work.
The
sub,
the
other
big
goals,
are
increasing
economic
development,
strengthening
health
and
community,
promoting
stable
housing,
creating
jobs
and
expanding
educational
opportunities.
B
Some
of
the
key
benefits
for
Minneapolis
and
North
Minneapolis
specifically,
are
the
opportunity
for
the
city
to
build
relationships
with
partners
in
the
community,
so
it
could
be.
Community
based
agencies
also
could
be
departments
within
the
city
that
are
working
towards
closing
the
gaps
in
these
areas.
Partnering
with
HUD,
which
we
have
a
also
not
able
to
join
us
today,
is
on
vacation
Jake,
a
kravec.
We
have
a
federal
liaison
as
each
promised
own
does,
who
helps
out
quite
a
bit
with
navigating
the
federal
agencies
can
be
a
little
bit
of
a
challenge.
B
Some
of
the
other
government
agencies
that
we
partner
with
our
Small
Business
Administration,
the
Federal
Reserve
and
economic
development
administration,
one
of
the
key
benefits
as
having
AmeriCorps
vistas.
So
we've
talked
a
little
bit
more
about
that,
but
we
have
volunteers
in
service
to
America.
They
are
consider
them
the
domestic
Peace
Corps.
Most
of
them
are
actually
everyone
who
has
served
with
me
as
a
college
graduate
and
a
lot
of
them
are
interested
in
working
in
the
public
sector
or
in
nonprofit.
B
So
it
gives
them
a
great
opportunity
to
do
capacity,
building
in
a
real-world
setting
and
then,
of
course,
the
grant
preference
which
I
think
we
have
talked
about
the
council
somewhat,
where
community
organizations
or
the
city
itself
or
other
government
agencies
can
get
a
slight
bump
in
their
federal
grant.
Applications
and
certain
agencies.
B
B
For
my
vistas,
the
promise
zones
were
reauthorized
in
2019
budget
both.
So
we
did
have
an
administration
change
and
we're
a
little
concerned
that
there
wouldn't
be
a
continuation,
but
there
has
been
support
from
the
new
federal
administration
and
then
the
opportunity
zones.
Some
of
you
are
aware
of
the
opportunities
on
work.
We
have
seven
that
that's
a
tax
credit
for
people
to.
B
Invest
their
capital
gains
and
into
different
types
of
real
estate
development
and
get
a
tax
break
for
ten
years,
and
that
was
part
of
the
that
was
actually
a
part
of
the
original
conception
of
promise
zone
that
didn't
come
through
it
initially,
but
it
did
to
come
in
the
last
budget,
though,
and
there
potentially
the
the
timeframe
to
do
those
nor
maximize
those
investments
will
be
by
the
end
of
this
year.
Our
promise
zone
is
seven
census
tracts,
but
there
are
several
other
I
know.
B
B
We
have
recruited
five
new
people
to
come
in
shortly
at
the
beginning
of
August.
They
focus
on
various
areas:
economic
development.
We
have
a
data,
analyst
resource
development
or
a
grant
specialist,
a
Vista
leader,
and
actually
this
year
we're
going
to
be
sub,
helping
support
the
new
office
of
violence
prevention.
So
we'll
have
someone
working
specifically
with
Sasha
cotton
and
Jen
white
on
the
violence
prevention
work.
B
B
So
I
touched
a
little
bit
on
the
federal
grants.
Preference
already
how
it
works
is
that
we
certify
the
grants
for
application
to
HUD.
We
also
have
a
process
at
the
city
for
certifying
them,
where
we
ask
a
fair
amount
of
information
about
what
the
goals
are,
and
we
ask
that
the
organization's
will
invest
at
least
25%
in
North
Minneapolis.
B
Most
of
them
do
75
to
100
percent.
However
and
federal
agencies
are
beginning
to
shift
towards
having
opportunities
on
preference
on
grants.
Although
this
is
layered,
so
they
are
not
getting
rid
of
the
promise
zone,
but
they
may
have
both
and
then
the
opportunities
on
preference
will
open
it
up
for
other
communities.
B
B
We
track
them,
how
much
money
they
got,
whether
they
got
the
grant
or
not,
and
how
much
and
this
photo
is
an
example
of
us
helping
the
Hawthorne
neighborhood
council
secure,
grant.
We
don't
know
if
they
have
secured
it
yet,
but
they
will
they're
trying
to
do
a
lot
of
work
on
the
opioid
crisis
in
North,
Minneapolis
and
so
they're,
going
after
a
couple
of
federal
grants,.
A
Missin,
these
are
good
examples
of
potential
applicants
for
federal
grants.
You've
mentioned
that
most
of
the
federal
grants
received
have
gone
seventy-five
to
a
hundred
percent
within
the
promise
zone
instead
of
the
required
25
percent.
Can
you
give
me
a
couple
tangible
examples
of
of
those
federal
grants
like
how
much
were
they
for
and
what
did
they
help
to
produce
on
this
one
where's
that
I,
don't
I
mean
that's
great
timing.
That's.
B
My
next
slide,
so
this
is
a
short
list.
I
think
we've
actually
realized
I
think
we
certified
40
grants
applications,
but
so,
like
the
appetite
for
change,
one,
for
example,
is
a
hundred
percent
going
onto
the
north
side.
I'll
highlight
the
ones
that
we
have
the
photos
here.
The
new
skate
park
cut
exposition
arts.
That
is
a
some
of
you
know
it's
a
temporary
installation
while
they
do
a
capital
campaign
to
expand
their
facility.
So
that's
all,
and
it's
great.
B
If
you
haven't
been
there,
you
should
stop
by
and
see
it
the
there's
a
picture
of
Lisa
Smith
set
here,
so
the
lead
grants.
Those
are
all
good
on
the
next
slide.
I
can
I've
actually
highlight
on
the
Hennepin
County
part
of
that,
but
a
lot
of
lead
reduction,
work
and
on
the
north
side,
because
those
are
those
are
zip
codes
that
have
really
high
disproportionate
levels
of
lead,
poisoning
still
and
the
I'm
not
going
to
see
this.
B
Many
of
us
police
department
is
going
just
to
the
north
side,
but
this
was
that's
a
good
example
of
where
we
realize
that
the
body
camera
grant
was
coming
out
in,
like
the
application
was
doing
two
weeks
and
we
did
a
quick
write
up
and
shipped
it
over
to
Assistant
Chief
Joseph,
and
then
they
took
it
and
ran
with
it
and
actually
he
was
secured.
The
funding.
A
B
I'm
not
mistaken,
that
was
a
three-year
grant
and
it
also
required
a
match
which
the
council
did
approve
when
the
funding
came
in
so
yes
likely,
there
will
be
a
need
to
replace
that
funding.
I
believe
that
started
last
year,
the
GBI
we've
gotten
two
cops
grants
actually,
but
the
focus
on
GBA
I
believe
the
funding
actually
started
rolling
at
2018,
so
we
would
have
through
2021
I
can
double-check
the
dates,
but
yes,
that
funding
would
have
to
be
replaced.
If
we
want
to
continue
with
that.
B
B
We've
had
some
questions
about
the
status
of
the
federal
grant-making.
What
we
do
know
is
that
there's
been
a
bit
of
a
decrease
just
in
RFPs
coming
out
and
that
there
was
there
was
a
signet,
pretty
significant
lag
with
the
change
in
administration,
where
there
was
nothing
coming
out,
but
that
has
picked
back
up.
The
applications
are
very
complicated
and
time-consuming.
I
know
I,
don't
know
if
anybody
has
ever
done
a
federal
grant
application,
but
it
is
it's
not
something
you
decide
to
do
today
and
get
it
done
by
tomorrow.
B
The
awards
are
very,
very
competitive.
They
may
have
you
know
ten
million
dollars
and
20
Awards
and
multiple
IRB's
from
every
state
applying
and
in
what
we
find
in
the
community-based
organizations
that
they
just
often
don't
have
the
capacity
to
write
them.
So
that's
one
of
the
areas
where
we're
able
to
help
not
just
to
write
them
but
to
check
all
the
boxes
that
they
have
a
Duns
number,
that
they
have
an
affirmative
action
statement
and
it's
their
very
complicated.
A
B
We
are
almost
never
a
fiscal
agent.
Occasionally
we
will
see
a
fiscal
agency
with
another
organization,
but
it's
rare
that
you
see
one.
These
applications
coming
through
the
city
or
you'll
have
a
partnership
of
two
or
three
organizations
and
one
will
be
the
primary.
Usually
it's
the
one
that
has
a
greater
financial
capacity
and
accounting
ability
and
programmatic
history
will
take
the
lead
and
then
the
subcontract
with
the
other
organizations.
B
So
I
think
you've
all
seen
this
chart
before
this.
This
represents
the
both
the
full
line
represents
all
of
the
federal
grants
awarded
and
then
the
blue
part
is
where
they're
for
preference
points
and
we
track
it.
This
way
because
of
the
feds
asked
us
to
so,
you
can
see,
we
haven't
had
any
awards
yet
in
2019,
but
that's
not
unusual.
For
this
time
of
year
we
have
six
applications
and
we're
anticipating,
perhaps
another
one
coming
in
on
opioids
shortly
from
Hawthorne
neighborhood
council.
B
We've
got
a
little
word
cloud
here
that
represents
the
community
on
input
that
we've
gathered
from
numerous
community
engagement
activities.
So
you
can
see
on
the
right-hand
side
there
that
talks
about
the
different
activities
where
we're
out
in
community
asking
I
mean.
Sometimes
we
do
something
very
fun,
like
name
pick,
a
name
on
our
site:
ice
cream
flavor,
but
usually
it's
a
little
more
substantive
than
that
like
what
in
this
case,
what
would
you
like
to
see
a
more
of
an
earthly
Minneapolis
and
again
we
certified
I,
basically
facilitate
the
process
of
getting
those
grants.
B
B
Influence
also
the
ability
to
help
residents
navigate
the
city
better.
So
with
AC
joseph's
permission,
I
get
to
I
was
told.
I
could
take
a
little
bit
of
credit
for
the
pursuit
policy
being
changed
because
I
helped
facilitate
along
with
City
Attorney
Siegel
who's
just
joined
us
conversations
around
the
impact
of
those
pursuits
in
community,
and
we
have
seen
that
North
Minneapolis
has
been
disproportionately
impacted,
like
so
many
other
things
because
of
police
pursuits.
The.
B
B
The
next
one
is
just
a
quick.
Some
of
you
know,
he's
done.
White
who's
working
on
his
own
development
and
his
site
and
I
was
able
to
help
facilitate
him
meeting
with
cpad
about
getting
loans
and
funding
and
what
that
project
could
look
like
and
that
that's
also
part
of
a
broader
conversation
about
forty
fourth
Avenue.
Getting
some
sort
of
increased
commercial
activity
in
Ward,
4.
B
Finally,
this
is
all
of
the
things
I
do
in
the
evening.
This
work,
the
I've,
been
part
of
you
know
just
a
couple
of
highlights.
Even
within
the
coordinators
office,
the
recap
Advisory
Committee
green
zones,
I've
done
both
part
of
both
north
and
south
side,
green
zones,
various
crime
and
safety
meetings,
upper
harbour
terminal
so
really
trying
to
get
out
there
and
try
and
understand
what
the
community
wants
to
see
happen
in
community
and
then
being
a
voice
for
those
individuals
who
might
have
time
or
well
to
come
and
speak
for
themselves
down
here.
I.
B
So
what
we've
done
is
we're
trying
to
align.
We
are
aligned
very
well
with
the
promise
on
original
goals
are
aligned
with
where
the
city
is
going
and
we're
currently
working
with
leaders
in
our
office
to
make
sure
that
we're
synthesizing
those
things
and
would
like
to
maybe
update
some
of
the
sub
goals.
We're
not
allowed
to
change
the
goals,
but
we
can
update
some
of
the
sub
goals
which,
if,
if
anyone
wants
to
read
that
I,
can
provide
it
for
you
later.
B
And
then
this
is
a
fun.
This
is
a
very
fun
Jody
creation,
she's
very
proud
of
this.
So
the
on
the
Left,
you
just
see
the
areas
that
we
applied
and
then
there's
a
line
where
we
have
alignment
in
the
current
strategic
planning
process,
but
that
the
city
has
been
undergoing
yeah
I.
Think
that's
all
I
do
want
to
say
thanks
to
all
of
my
wonderful
people
who
are
here,
especially
my
vistas,
who
put
a
lot
of
work
in
and
I'll.
A
C
B
Palmisano
councilmember
Goodman
into
further
question:
we
there
are,
there
are
some
funding
opportunities.
They
are.
They
tend
to
be
targeted
more
at
nonprofits,
however,
like
the
Small
Business
Administration
does
have
funding
that
is,
could
be
utilized
by
a
small
business.
That's
attached
to
a
non-profit
or
not
or
there's
things
like
the
capital
magnet
fund
from
Treasury
economic
development.
Administration
also
has
funding,
of
course,
I
like
to
think
they
want
to
be
on
the
north
side,
because
it's
so
awesome
but
they're
there.
C
Sure
well,
clearly,
people
are
going
there
because
they
think
it's
awesome
to
be
there
because
they're
not
getting
anything
for
so
makes
your
point.
It
also
says
something
about
the
fact
that
you
could
have
put
up
renovate
Veda
building
and
immediately
fill
it
up,
and
it's
on
the
near
Northside
I
think
that's
great
I
thought.
Maybe
they
were
they
ain't
heard
people
were
going
there,
because
maybe
they
I
don't
want
to
say,
get
something
but
could
apply
for
or
get
some
preference
in
something
they're
doing
and
I
suppose
through
EDA.
That
makes
some
sense.
D
Just
had
a
real,
quick
question
and
then
and
then
more
of
a
statement
but
I
think
on
slide,
15
I
believe
it
was
I
made,
hopefully
I'm
remembering
that
correctly
it
was
a
list
of
the
number
of
applications
per
year.
I
believe
that's
line
and
I
noticed
that
since,
since
2015
there
have
been
you
know,
applications
have
been
in
the
double
digits
and
that
looked
like
most
recently
work.
We're
at
six
this
year
is
that
because
of
the
change
in
administration
that
there
are
less
grants
to
apply
for
just
asking.
You
know
why
maybe.
B
D
B
D
Years
great
one
things
like
one
thing:
I
also
just
wanted
to
say
from
our
colleagues,
but
you
know,
is
that
one
of
the
things
I
really
love
about
director,
learson
and
her
team
is
that
they
are
pretty
proactive
right
they're,
not
waiting
by
the
phone
waiting
for
folks
to
come
and
say
you
know
and
say:
hey
we're.
Looking
at
a
federal
grant,
you
know
sometimes
was
Northside
businesses
or
nonprofits
folks
are
busy.
There's
there's
they're
stretched
to
the
max
and
they
don't
necessarily
know
what
opportunities
are
out
there.
D
And
so
it's
been
really
great
to
see
this
team
become
a
touch
point
and
then
one
of
the
other
wants
some
of
the
highlights
that
you
also
made
were
some
of
the
connections
that
were
not
federal,
grant
related
that
your
office's
made,
which
I
can
personally
attest
to
folks,
don't
necessarily
see.
Oh
that's
the
city
of
this
of
the
promise
zone.
They
only
do
federal
grants.
That
kind
of
thing
folks
need
support.
D
E
D
F
One
of
the
things
I
think
is
really
important
to
name
when
it
comes
to
the
zone.
Is
that
it's
not
about
taking
resources
from
other
parts
of
the
city?
It's
about
taking
the
resources
that
are
being
brought
into
the
community
and
for
them
to
be
more
intentionally
invested.
We
can
have
a
deluge
of
resources
poured
into
the
community
at
one
time,
but
without
infrastructure.
F
G
F
Also
necessary
for
us
to
be
thinking
about
a
refresh
of
this
work
again.
We
can't
really
change
the
goals,
but
the
sub
goals
are
flexible
through
the
lens
of
the
2040
plan
of
the
street
goals,
the
the
values
and
the
goals
that
we
have
set,
and
just
the
general
vision
of
this
council
and
mayoral
administration.
F
Director
learson
has
incredible.
Connections
throughout
the
community
has
a
lot
of
trust
and
community
members,
as
well
as
many
city
staff
members
across
the
across
departments.
Folks
know
the
promise
zone.
They
trust
the
promise
zone.
They
proactively
will
the
this
work.
As
councilmember
Allison
said,
they
will
reach
out
proactively
to
say,
hey.
This
is
something
that
you
could
be
working
on
as
well
as
community
reaching
out
for
help.
F
That's
totally
outside
of
the
purview
of
the
promise,
though,
because
there's
so
much
social
capital
there,
so
so
that
is
a
tremendous
asset
that
we
as
a
city
have
and
want
to
say.
Thank
you
for
all
of
your
work
that
you've
done
in
cultivating
that
social
capital
and
that
trust
with
the
community.
Thank.
H
A
A
Next
up,
we
have
a
social
media
policy
presentation
by
way
of
our
communications
director
grant
at
Bergstrom
and
it'll.
Just
take
her
a
moment.
We
do
anticipate
this
being
another
15
minute
presentation.
We're
gonna,
try
to
keep
it
to
15
minutes
and
I.
Do
imagine
there'll
be
a
lot
of
discussion
and
we'll
just
see.
We
might
pause
you
midway
through
director
and
ask
those
questions
as
they
come
up
sure
Thank.
H
You,
chair
Palmisano
councilmembers,
my
name
is
Greta
Bergstrom
I
am
city's
director
of
communications
and
I'm
pleased
to
be
here
this
afternoon
in
front
of
you
to
present
the
draft
social
media
policy.
The
new
updated
policy
for
your
review
for
the
city
I
do
want
to
start
quickly
by
acknowledging
and
thanking
a
number
of
departments
who
have
helped
to
develop
this
policy
in
coordination
with
the
communications
department.
H
First
and
foremost
the
City
Attorney's
Office,
who
has
worked
hand-in-hand
with
us
as
partners,
I'd
really
love
to
get
a
give
a
shout
out
to
them
in
particular,
because
they
have
worked
very
hard
on
this
as
well
as
well
as
the
HR
department,
the
City
Clerk's
office,
the
coordinators
on
office
and
IT,
who
have
all
been
partners.
We've
had
really
a
lot
of
feedback
from
from
other
departments,
as
well
as
policy
makers
in
developing
this
policy.
H
I
would
also
like
and
would
be
remiss
if
I
did
not
thank
council,
member
or
Sami
for
authoring
the
policy
and
and
agreeing
to
help
Shepherd
this
kind
of
new
era
forward
for
us
here
at
the
city
brief
background,
the
C
approved
resolution
back
in
2006,
which
authorized
elected
officials
to
create
maintained,
City
supported
blogs
in
2011.
The
city
approved
its
first
and
only
social
media
policy,
which
does
apply
to
all
city
employ
employees,
but
it
did
not
apply
to
elected
officials
nor
to
members
of
boards
and
commissions.
H
The
current
policy
is
obviously
almost
a
decade
out-of-date
and
we
are
looking
to
provide
a
lot
more
guidance
and
clarity
since
there's
a
lot
of
gray
area
contained
currently
in
the
2011
policy,
not
surprising.
Everybody
is
aware
that
the
social
media
landscape
and,
of
course
the
legal
landscape,
has
changed
and
grown
dramatically
since
the
existing
policy
was
adopted.
The
social
media
platforms
obviously
are
powerful
communications
vehicles
for
public
information
for
engagement
and
discussion.
H
So
you
might
say
it's
a
personal
account,
but
really
it's
determined
as
to
how
you
use
that
account
and
the
type
of
content
you
post,
and
so
the
communications
department
and
the
City
Attorney's
Office
have
developed
a
new
social
media
policy
and
set
of
procedures
for
the
purpose
of
this
policy.
The
term
covered
persons
are
anyone
who
does
work
on
behalf
of
the
city,
so
it's
quite
quite
broad-based.
For
the
first
time,
elected
officials
as
well
as
board
and
commission
members
will
be
covered
under
this
policy.
H
H
I'm
going
to
first
speak
to
the
elected
officials
portion
of
the
policy,
so
the
city
communications
department
would
help
and
work
with
our
elected
officials
and
establishing
official
City
Ward
accounts,
as
well
as
an
account
for
accounts
for
the
mayor's
office
as
well.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
clear
separation
of
city
Ward.
The
government
accounts
from
personal
accounts
and
from
any
campaign
account
so
that
there's
clear
bright
lines
of
separation.
We
also
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
and
provide
the
best
user
experience
for
our
residents
and
for
our
public
audiences.
H
We
want
to
make
sure
that
the
next
office
holder,
who
should
inherit
the
city
or
Ward
account,
is
able
to
keep
that
following,
given
that
that
is
a
core
asset.
You
know
your
your
volume
of
followers
gives
you
the
you
know.
The
platform
to
speak
from
the
public
would
still
receive
City
Ward
information,
regardless
of
who
is
in
office.
The
account
would
remain
official
in
a
city
asset.
H
Throughout
all
of
this
insuring
retention
of
public
data
and
making
sure
that
conduct
follows
the
policy.
An
official
City
Ward
accounts
would
then
allow
support
from
the
city
communications
department,
from
staff
back
to
our
policy.
Make
our
offices
really
quickly.
We
have
a
little
model.
This
is
the
direction
that
we're
looking
at
to
take
the
city's
social
media
communications
for
elected
officials.
You
can
see
there's
a
personal
account
space
for
campaign
electoral
account
and
then
the
City
Ward
account.
H
Quickly,
some
examples,
as
you
would
really
as
the
public
would
see
your
Twitter
account
or
your
Facebook
account.
These
are
public
facing
profiles,
including
whatever
photo
you
would
choose
to
use
in
your
accounts.
The
Twitter
account
handle,
as
you
can
see,
and
the
Facebook
username
so
Twitter
being
on
the
left
and
Facebook
profile
on
the
right.
We
would
just
want
to
make
sure
that
the
goal
is
consistency
across
the
platforms
and,
again
that's
to
help
with
our
residents
and
with
constituent,
easier
experience.
H
We
are
recommending
that
there
be
a
designated
social
media
officer
that
council
would
approve
the
procedures
speak
to
this
and
establish
a
social
media
officer.
I
want
to
make
sure
to
clarify
that
this
is
not
a
new
FTE.
This
is
not
a
new
position.
This
would
be
a
designation
to
oversee
the
procedures
and
basically
help
to
make
sure
that
the
policy
is
implemented
appropriately.
It
would
be
very
similar
to
the
ethics
officer,
that's
already
in
place,
the
through
the
City
Attorney's
office
or
the
chief
cable
officer
in
place
through
city
communications,.
H
In
terms
of
the
city
use
of
social
media,
this
would
be
kind
of
Department
use
of
social
media
accounts
all
new
and
existing
cities.
Social
media
accounts
would
be
approved
through
this
communications
department.
We
wouldn't
want
departments,
opening
up
new
accounts
kind
of
without
intention
foresight
and
some
sort
of
strategic
reason.
H
So
really
a
lot
of
work
with
our
office
to
make
sure
they're
being
done
appropriately
and
that
all
content
would
continue
to
be
archived
blocking
or
deleting
content
would
not
be
allowed,
except
in
those
very
rare
circumstances,
in
which
case,
if
there
were
a
circumstance
that
merited
that
you
would
be
working
with
our
office.
The
City
Attorney's
Office
to
make
sure
that
we're
making
some
decisions
around
that,
because
the
content
would
be
archived
if
a
decision
were
made
that,
for
some
reason
blocking
was
warranted.
H
We
would
have
you
know
a
backup
as
to
why
and
that
would
be
done
intentionally
in
terms
of
the
impact
on
employees.
Managing
City,
supported
social
media.
The
administrators
would
be
approved
by
the
social
media
officer
so
that
we
know
who's.
Who
is
driving
that
particular
account
so
that
we
have
a
record
of
that
and
know
how
to
get
in
contact
with
them
and
just
can
work
in
collaboration
with
them
and
that
department
city
accounts
would
be
used
for
City
business.
Only.
H
Personal
use
of
social
media
we've
had
a
lot
of
questions
around
that
to
be
clear,
the
procedures
and
the
policy
are
not
to
stifle
First
Amendment
rights
to
free
speech.
We
recognize
that
our
city
staff
policy
makers-
everybody
have
have
the
right
to
their
opinion
in
to
free
speech
online,
but
we
do
set
guidelines
and
expectations
for
personal
conduct
as
a
private
individual.
Some
of
this
has
been
actually
somewhat
missing
since
the
2011
policy,
so
I
think
this
will
be
very
helpful
to
city
staff.
H
Personal
social
media
must
not
be
used
to
conduct
city
business
or
for
official
City
communications.
So
we
want
to
again
that
clear
line
between
personal
and
government
use
conduct
on
personal
social
media
can
still
reflect
on
the
city
and
could
result
in
discipline
again,
if
not
following
the
guidelines,
making
sure
to
be
careful
as
you're
posting
content.
H
The
public
also
there
are
some
guidelines
with
public
interactions
on
social
media
back
with
the
city.
The
procedures
set
expectations
for
how
we
expect
the
public
to
interact
while
on
city
supported
social
media
sites,
establishes
the
city's
social
media
as
a
limited
public
forum,
where
you
can,
just
you
know,
only
discuss
uses.
H
H
But
let's
have
an
intentional
conversation
about
that
so
going
forward.
We
are
asking
the
council
for
approval
of
this
new
policy.
The
effective
date
would
be
January
1st
of
2020
we're
asking
for
that,
because
we
recognize
there
will
be
training
and
work
needed
between
now
or
when
the
policy
would
be
approved
and
when
we
would
want
city
accounts
fully
in
compliance.
So
there
would
be
a
certain
amount
of
preparation
leading
up
to
January
1st
internal
communications,
with
departments,
development
of
a
training
strategy,
things
like
appointed
leader,
onboarding,
new
employee
orientation.
A
H
I
Thank
you
to
city
staff,
especially
Greta,
for
the
work
she's
done,
Susan
and
Carol.
Thank
you
very
much
and
I
think
this
just
makes
this
common
sense.
You
know
social
media
has
had
huge
strides.
You
know
every
year
there's
a
new
app
there's
a
new
wave
do
the
things.
Even
this
morning.
People
are
just
worried
about
that
that
face
app.
That
keeps
makes
you
look
older
I,
don't
know
why
people
want
to
eat
so
fast,
but
that
it's
collecting.
D
I
J
I
think
you
check
so
first
I'll
just
say:
I
support
this
I,
don't
totally
love
it,
but
I
support
it
and
I
think
I've
been
sort
of
thinking
about
my
own
social
media
practice
and
and
I
do
think
that
there
there
are
platforms
where
it
makes
a
lot
of
sense
to
separate
Facebook
sort
of
set
up
as
a
platform
to
have
different
pages,
and
that's
going
to
be
very
authentic.
Twitter
people
really
gravitate
towards
personal
accounts.
J
Things
that
I'm
really
clear
or
not
City
business
things
that
I'm
really
clear,
are
City
business
and
then
some
things
that
I
post
that
are
in
a
gray
area
that
I
may
just
not
post
I,
mean
I,
may
be
less
active
on
social
media.
Because
of
this
and
I,
don't
think
that
1900
Russian
bots
that
follow
me
or
missing
much
if
I,
don't
you
know,
post
a
few
funny,
jokes
or
whatever,
but
or
not
funny
jokes,
but
the
there
is
an
inauthentic
City.
J
That
I
think
we
risk
as
we
move
into
this
and
so
it'll
be
important
for
all
of
us.
I
think
to
think
about
how
to
make
this
engaging
about
how
to
make
these
new
city
accounts
engaging
because
I
think
it's
not
something.
That's
automatic
that
people
will
follow
it,
that
people
will
want
to
follow
it
or
that
we'll
be
able
to
do
anything
useful
enough
with
them
to
really
justify
it.
J
One
question
that
chair,
Palmisano
and
I
were
discussing
that
week.
I
think
it
would
be
worth
getting
into
is
there
have
been
some
stories
around
the
country
of,
for
example,
ice
agents
participating
in
a
Facebook
page,
where
some
wildly
inappropriate
racist
and
xenophobic,
jokes
and
memes
were
shared
and
they
were
participating
in
that
kind
of
a
role
and
I
guess
I'm
curious
in
terms
of
our
staff
direction
and
Inter.
In
terms
of
what
constraints
this
puts
on
someone
in
the
way
they
use
in
a
personal
account,
I
know
we're
protecting
people's
First
Amendment
rights.
J
But
what
are
the
expectations?
Would
we
potentially
see
people's
personal
counts
if
they're,
if
they're
using
them
in
a
way?
That
really
does
something
inappropriate
that
would
call
into
question
whether
we're
comfortable
with
them
in
the
public
role
that
they're
in
are
we
still
looking
at
those
things,
I'm,
just
I
think
people
are
gonna
want
to
understand
how
a
situation
like
that
interacts
with
this
policy
ya.
H
Know
those
are
really
good
questions.
Let
me
first
say
that
there
will
continue
to
be
a
certain
amount
of
gray
area
that
we
will
all
have
to
manage
through,
which
will
be
a
reason
for
updating
of
the
procedures
annually
and
then
again
just
working
collaboratively
across
departments
with
our
policymakers
to
figure
out
what
makes
sense
in
the
moment
that
question
has
come
up
a
lot.
I
will
say
that
we,
nor
we
don't
have
the
capacity,
obviously
in
our
department.
Nor
would
we
be
managing
monitoring
actively
or
certainly
archiving
personal
accounts.
H
It
will
be
complaint
based
and
so
I
expect.
You
know,
with
the
new
policy
and
again
the
onus
put
on
our
department
to
help
train
and
educate
people
on
the
new
policy.
If
something
happens
such
as
you
know,
some
conduct
on
a
personal
account
really
goes
against
the
values.
The
mission
the
work
of
the
city
I,
would
expect
that
that
would
come
forward
and
we
would
work
with
the
City
Attorney's
Office.
H
We
would
work
with
whatever
Department
that
person
was
within
with
our
HR
partners
to
determine
what
should
happen
next,
so
I
think
it
really
would
be
on
a
case-by-case
basis.
There
have
been
instances,
obviously
police
departments,
as
you
mentioned,
with
ice
agents
where
what
they
are
saying
in
their
personal
space,
really
conflicts
with
their
professional
government
role,
and
so
that
would
be
something
that
would
have
to
be
brought
to
our
attention
versus
us.
You
know
unless
we
saw
it
or
something
so
I,
don't
know
if
that
answers
your
question.
A
H
In
I
mean
I
think,
generally
speaking,
most
people
aren't
going
to
experience
or
see
much
of
a
difference.
But
again
we're
asking
you
to
be
intentional
about
what
you
are
posting
in
your
personal
space,
and/or
to
put
a
disclaimer
on.
If,
for
instance,
you
want
to
speak
about
a
city-based
issue
but
I
think,
generally
speaking,
I
don't
think
most
people
are
going
to
notice
a
big
change
at
all
if
they
are
conducting
themselves
online
in
a
non-threatening
way
or
something
that
goes.
You
know
radically
against
the
values
of
the
city.
H
A
A
A
F
E
A
E
You
good
afternoon
sheriff
homicide
on
members
of
the
Enterprise
Committee
I'm
patience,
Ferguson
chief
HR
officer
for
the
city
of
Minneapolis
and
I
also
have
with
me
today.
Lucas
Dennison,
who
was
the
director
of
total
compensation.
Very
briefly.
I
will
provide
you
with
a
snapshot
of
our
changing
demographics
and
also
highlight
current
and
future
benefit
approaches
designed
to
meet
the
changing
needs
of
our
workforce.
E
In
addition,
we
will
also
provide
an
update
on
our
self-insured
medical
plan,
but
before
I
begin,
my
presentation
I'd
like
to
knowledge
and
thank
some
of
the
people
that
are
in
the
room
joining
us.
Today.
We
have
leaders
from
our
employee
resource
groups.
I
am
Ben
women
America,
which
is
our
military
group,
and
also
we
have
our
label
partners
that
are
in
the
room
and
we'd
also
like
to
thank
John
Hirschbeck.
Who
is
the
actuary
consultant
that
we
work
with
from
Deloitte?
E
E
So,
first
of
all,
I'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
our
workforce
as
an
employer.
The
city
of
Minneapolis
is
ranked
to
number
39
on
the
list
of
the
50th
largest
employees
in
the
state.
Employers.
Excuse
me
in
the
state
of
Minnesota.
We
are
now
at
this
point:
thirty
percent
female
70
percent
male
thirty
percent
people
of
color
and
70
percent
white.
E
The
bars
in
the
chart
that
you
see
in
front
of
you
represent
the
number
of
employees
leaving
the
city
each
year
since
2016.
The
purple
bars
represent
the
number
of
employees
that
have
left
due
to
retirement
and
at
the
pace
that
we're
going
right
now
we
will
see
double
the
numbers
of
employees
that
are
returned
from
the
city
of
Minneapolis.
E
This
is
a
very
interesting
chart
that
was
very
shocking
to
me
when
I
first
looked
at
it
because,
as
you
can
see
for
the
first
time
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis
history,
we
have
five
generations
in
the
workforce
with
the
different
generations
also
come
different
needs
and
different
expectations.
For
example,
some
of
our
younger
employees
now
are
forced
to
become
grandparents.
Some
of
our
employees
are
now
concerned
with
taking
care
of
their
parents.
E
Now
this
is
regarding
our
changing
workforce.
This
slide
that
you
have
in
front
of
you
shows
the
generations
entering
and
leaving
the
workforce
the
city
workforce
that
is
since
2017
the
orange
bar,
reflects
employees
leaving
the
city
by
generation
and
the
blue
bars
represent
those
who
have
been
hired
in
the
city.
The
key
learning
on
this
slide
is
that
Millennials
make
up
the
majority
of
the
new
hires
to
the
city
of
Minneapolis
to
since
2017.
E
So
that's
a
when
I
saw
that
slide.
It
really
shows
that
our
workforce
is
changing,
is
changing
rapidly
and
the
question
for
each
and
every
one
of
us
is
what
are
the
implications
with
regard
to
our
benefits?
What
are
the
things
we
need
to
be
thinking
about
not
only
for
our
current
workforce,
but
also
for
our
future
workforce.
G
Good
afternoon,
chair
Palmisano
and
members
of
the
committee
I'm
ricca-san
Erskine,
director
of
total
compensation
here
at
the
city.
Thank
you
for
having
us
today.
I
want
to
start
with
just
giving
a
brief
update
on
the
status
of
our
self-funded
medical
plan.
It
seems
like
just
yesterday
where
we
were
in
here
getting
council
action
on
self
funding
the
plan,
and
that
was
back
in
2017.
G
The
benefits,
labor
management
guiding
principles
have
been
the
same
for
a
number
of
years
about
approving
the
health
of
employees,
controlling
healthcare
costs
and
increasing
employee
engagement.
As
you
all
know,
the
city's
benefits
are
collectively
bargained
and
we're
fortunate
to
have
these
partners
working
with
us
to
ensure
that
that
our
plan
is
viable.
G
The
benefits
labor-management
committee
helped
us
to
implement
changes
over
the
years.
It's
part
of
the
reason
that
we
also
enjoy
very
high
levels
of
engagement
in
our
health.
The
wellness
program
that
we
have
attached
to
our
benefit
program
had
82
percent
of
employees,
meeting
the
incentive
to
get
the
lower
premium
for
last
year
and
we're
on
track
to
get
at
least
that
number
of
employees
participating
again
this
year
to
receive
the
reduced
premium
in
2020
you'll.
Be
able
to
see
the
results
of
some
of
that
engagement
on
the
next
slide.
G
When
we
look
at
the
history
of
the
self-funded
plan,
so
back
in
2016
and
2017,
which
is
represented
by
the
blue
bars
on
the
left.
This
is
when
the
city
was
still
in
a
fully
insured
plan
arrangement.
At
that
time
we
had
great
caps
in
place
with
our
carrier
so
that
we
couldn't
receive
an
increase
over
5%,
so
the
rate
caps
kept
those
increases
those
two
years
at
5%,
then
in
2018,
which
was
the
year
we
decided
to
go
to
self-insured.
G
We
received
a
renewal
of
seven
and
a
half
percent
for
the
purposes
of
this
slide
in
the
blue
bars
we're
projecting
that
beyond
2018,
the
city
would
have
continued
to
have
at
least
a
5%
renewal.
If
we
had
stayed
fully
insured,
the
orange
bar
represents
where
we
then
set
our
own
premium
levels
based
on
what
we
projected
would
be
our
claims
and
other
expenses.
G
G
This
slide
again
shows
that
the
blue
bar
is
where
we
would
have
been
had.
We
stayed
fully
insured
with
5%
increase,
which
is
very
conservative
as
an
estimate
in
the
past
prior
to
self
insuring
the
city.
It
had
multiple
years,
where
the
the
health
insurance
increases
have
been
double
digits
and
more
and
required
significant
changes
in
benefit
levels
to
account
for
to
offset
the
changes
in
premium.
So
this
has
really
provided
an
opportunity
to
stabilize
the
benefits.
G
So
the
difference
the
orange
and
the
gray
bar
is
the
difference.
The
difference
in
those
two
is
what
we
have
been
able
to
put
into
the
reserves,
as
our
stable
is
a
stabilization
for
the
race,
and
it's
important
to
also
note
that
the
reserve
contains
both
city
and
employee
money
from
premium
contributions
and
that
money
can
only
be
used
to
pay
for
medical
plan
related
expenses.
The
purpose
is
to
be
able
to
stabilize
our
future
increases
and
to
have
a
cushion.
G
G
So
the
good
news
in
all
of
this,
even
though
healthcare
costs
really
are
snack,
never
good
news,
but
the
good
news
for
us
is
that
we
are
going
to
be
we're
set
to
have
our
reserve
the
target
of
25%
of
claims
fully
funded
in
the
2020
plan
year,
which
is
excellent.
We
had
started
out
with
the
goal
of
trucks
aying
in
three
to
five
years.
We
wanted
to
have
the
reserve
fully
funded
and
based
on
our
plans
performance
over
the
past
three
years.
It
looks
like
2020.
We
will
be
fully
funded,
we've
had
great
experience.
G
Our
plan
is
very
well
managed.
We
do
have
a
lot
of
chronic
conditions
and
some
high
claims
in
our
group,
but
our
employees
and
their
family
members
are
receiving
good
care
and
they're
taking
care
of
it
with
our
plan.
So
our
Reserve
has
built
faster
than
we
anticipated
with
below
market
trend
increases
here
at
the
city.
G
Then
moving
on
just
to
look
at
our
benefits
program
in
general,
we
benchmark
ourselves
with
four
other
local
public
employers,
the
city
of
st.
Paul,
Ramsay
and
Hennepin
counties
and
the
state
of
Minnesota.
We
looked
at
all
the
components
of
our
benefits
package,
just
to
see
where
we
stand
with
these
groups,
because
we
know
a
lot
of
employees
here
at
the
city
have
come
from
those
jurisdictions.
We
also
lose
people
to
them
so
we're
competing
in
this
market.
G
We
I'm
not
going
to
go
through
all
these
slides,
but
I
provided
the
information
so
you'll
have
it.
We
looked
at
bennett
benefits
eligibility.
We
looked
at
our
dental
plan.
We
are
by
the
by
the
way,
the
only
jurisdiction
that
does
pay
the
full
premium
for
both
single
and
family
coverage
here
at
the
city,
the
other
are
the
other
jurisdictions,
have
a
cost
sharing
on
the
premium
we
looked
at
vision.
The
city
does
not
offer
a
Vision
Plan
one
of
the
other
jurisdictions
does.
It
hasn't
been
really
requested
here.
G
Life
insurance
were
competitive,
short,
short
term.
Disability
is
an
area
of
opportunity.
The
city
did
offer
short
term
disability
coverage
in
the
past,
but
it
was
employee
pay
all
employee
paid,
so
it
was
voluntary.
The
uptake
was
very
low
because
it
was
expensive,
so
this
currently
has
one
benefit.
Where
were
the
only
one
of
these
groups
that
doesn't
for
this
coverage?
It's
an
area
that
we've
been
discussing
the
pet
over
the
past
year?
G
What
has
happened
as
a
result
of
not
having
this
coverage
is
employees
that
need
to
have
time
off
due
to
illness
or
maternity
leave
or
recovering
from
surgery.
Surgery
have
been
using
the
sick
leave
donation
program
and
have
to
ask
for
donations
to
get
paid
time
off,
to
be
able
to
recover
from
surgery
or
get
some
paid
time
off
for
maternity
leave
in
addition
to
the
paid
parental
leave.
So
that's
an
area
of
opportunity
that
we
have
in
the
future
long
term,
disability.
All
of
us
have
employer
paid
long
term.
Disability
benefits
paid
leave.
G
Programs
is
another
huge
area
of
demand
right
now.
If
you,
you
can't
open
the
newspaper
without
seeing
articles
about
all
these
employers
downtown
that
are
offering
twelve
and
sixteen
weeks
of
paid
parental
leave.
The
public
sector
is
slow
to
get
on
board
with
some
of
that,
but
all
of
us
here
in
in
this
group
that
we
looked
at
are
offering
between
three
and
six
weeks.
G
Currently
we
do
get
a
lot
of
requests
from
our
employee
resource
groups
and
other
partners
in
the
city
that
are
interested
in
having
us
look
at
that
paid
parental
leave
and
consider
offering
more
paid.
Caregiver
leave
has
also
also
come
up
quite
a
bit.
That's
another
popular
benefit
in
the
private
sector.
We
don't
know
of
public
sector,
that's
offering
it,
but
it's
something
that
we've
been
discussing
here
and
that
Laura
Davis
continues
to
talk
with
labor,
as
well
as
part
of
negotiations
leave
donation
program.
G
I
mentioned
that
we
have
employees
that
must
use
the
lead
donation
program
in
order
to
get
paid
time
off
because
of
having
a
baby
or
recovering
from
surgery
and
then
paid
time
off.
Benefits
work
we're
all
similar
on
that
some
are
offering
floating
holidays,
which
is
an
area
that
we
have
also
gotten
requests
regarding
pre-tax
programs,
voluntary
benefits
and
finally,
just
to
wrap
up.
G
We
appreciate
your
interest
in
the
benefits
package
and
this
is
where
we
need
your
direction
and
support.
We
need
to
determine
where
we
want
to
be
as
an
employer,
and
we
want
to
look
at
all
these
options
and
come
up
with
the
program
that
best
meets
the
changing
demographics
that
we
have
in
our
workforce
today,
and
we
want
to
be
able
to
ensure
that
we
have
an
inclusive
approach
to
health
and
benefits
that
and
that
we're
aligning
with
all
the
city's
core
values
and
financial
and
business
objectives.
G
We
want
to
work
with
all
of
you
on
these
things,
along
with
the
labor-management
committee
and
our
employee
resource
groups,
and
we
appreciate
your
leadership
and
direction
on
some
of
these
decisions
that
we'll
have
to
make
about
our
compensation
of
benefits
in
the
future.
Thank
you.
For
your
time-
and
there
are
questions,
we'd
be
happy
to
answer:
Thank
You,
councilmember,
Goodman.
A
C
You,
madam
chair
Thank,
You
Ricky
for
all
the
good
work
you
do
every
time
we've
had
to
be
in
touch
with,
you
have
been
fantastic,
and
so
we
really
appreciate
it.
I
have
an
employee,
transitioning
out
and
a
new
one
transitioning
in,
and
you
guys
have
done
a
great
job
with
it.
So
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
that.
One
of
the
things
that
you
mentioned
in
your
report
is
the
importance
to
people
in
the
workforce
dealing
with
flexibility
so
I'm.
This
has
been
an
issue
for
me
for
21
years.
C
So
this
isn't
really
about
me
anymore,
but
I'm
wondering
why
we
don't
offer
each
employee
a
set
amount
of
money
and
let
them
pick
the
benefits
that
they
want.
So,
for
example,
and
I
not
complaining
about
this,
but
I
want
to
point
out.
I
am
not
married.
The
city
pays
for
my
health
insurance.
It
pays
$500
a
month.
Abdi
is
married.
He
gets
family
health
insurance.
He
gets
$2,000
a
month.
C
That
seems
to
be
an
inequality
almost
between
people
who
use
the
city
for
insurance
purposes
and
those
that
don't
I'm
not
saying
that
they
shouldn't
have
that
benefit.
I
think
that's
an
awesome
that
we
do
that,
but
it
does
create
winners
and
losers
within
the
benefit
system.
So
why
wouldn't
we
have
more
of
like
a
cafeteria
plan
of
benefits
to
someone
like
me,
you
might
get
a
different
benefit
if
I
didn't
claim
family
health
insurance,
which
I
have
claimed
over
time,
so
I'm
trying
not
to
make
this
about
me.
I
was
married.
C
C
G
Chair
Palmisano,
Palmisano
and
councilmember
Goodman
think
that's
a
very
good
question.
I
can't
speak
to
the
history
before
I
was
here.
I
do
know
there
are
models
out
there
that
take
that
kind
of
approach.
I
think
the
city
you
know
in
negotiating
benefits,
as
part
of
the
collective
bargaining
process,
has
had
a
more
traditional
benefits
package.
I
I
think
that's!
You
know
something
that
can
definitely
be
explored
in
the
future
and
I.
K
Employees,
which
is
people
that
had
been
or
will
be
with
us
for
10
years
or
more
80%
of
those
folks
used
family
insurance
at
some
point
during
their
career
with
us,
and
therefore
the
models
that
we
looked
at
in
terms
of
cafeteria
plans
or
having
something
else.
All
of
them
had
the
effect
of
essentially
requiring
somebody
who
wanted
or
needed
family
coverage
to
spend
a
majority
of
their
benefit
dollars
in
order
to
obtain
that
and
that
left
them
without
disability
coverage
dental.
D
C
C
The
enterprise
are
being
paid
less
and
as
the
workforce
changes
and
people
decide
not
to
get
married
or
might
not
or
might
not
have
kids
you're
punishing
people
and
saying
your
work
is
not
valued
at
the
same
as
somebody
else's
work
because
pay
for
women
in
particular,
given
that
we're
not
paid
equally
with
men
generally
speaking,
is
all
about
compensation
and
so
you're
telling
people
who
aren't
married.
Your
choice
means
you're,
not
as
Valley
to
us
and
so
I.
Don't
think
we
should
take
away
the
benefit
for
families.
I
think
it's
great.
K
Madame,
chair,
councilman,
right
I,
don't
disagree
and
I.
Don't
think
that
labor
would
necessarily
disagree.
The
question
is
at
what
cost
and
what
are
the
resources
available?
All
I
was
speaking
to
is
that
the
models
of
other
employers
that
we
looked
at
and
it's
not
limited
to
the
ones
that
Rick
had
in
her
presentation
in
practicality
dollars,
aren't
unlimited
and
unfortunately
that
isn't
what
happens.
K
K
Think
it's
exactly
the
same
thing
either,
but
it
does
raise
those
types
of
questions
in
terms
of
an
overall
benefit
package.
What
is
equity
and
they're
they're
very
good
points
that
we
will
continue
to
to
to
wrestle
with
I
was
asked
to
come
home
and
explain
the
history
and
so
I
tried
to
give
that
a
night
I
don't
want
to
debate
the
rightness
or
wrongness
vain,
because
I
agree
with
what
you're
saying
I
trying
to
give
the
history
of
why
we
have
what
we
have
and.
G
A
One
of
the
a
separate
presentation
would
be
how
our
benefit
plans
compared
to
other
benefit
plans,
but
I
can
say,
having
had
10
years
in
the
private
sector
in
this
industry,
that
the
city
of
Minneapolis
has
one
of
the
richest
healthcare
benefit
plans.
I've
ever
seen
so
I
doubt
that
somebody
is
getting
better
coverage
from
their
spouses
insurance,
one
of
the
ways
that
we
look
to
normalize
the
payout,
especially
because
this
is
a
self
insurance
plan.
A
This
is
like
we're
using
our
city
as
a
bank
is
in
having
their
individual
deductibles
for
every
member
of
a
family.
So,
while
a
single
person's
plan
has
one
deductible
that
deductible
for
family
coverage
needs
to
be
met,
there's
either
there
is
both
an
individual
amount
to
hit,
or
there
is
a
family
deductible
to
hit
before
a
lot
of
that
coverage
starts
coming
forward.
A
So
I
guess
what
I'm
saying
is
one
of
the
ways
that
we
offset
that
if
you
assume
that
people
have
health
care
needs
is
because
I
need
to
hit
a
deductible
for
every
member
of
my
family
before
certain
coverage
kicks
in.
So
we
are
there's
a
proportional
that's.
That
is
true,
but
it's
not
full.
It's
not
full
coverage
and
you
need
to
hit
those
Clips
before
coverage
kicks
in
I
mean
it
is
full
comprehensive
health
insurance,
but
it
is
not
a
hundred
percent
covered
at
dollar.
One
council
member
manager.
C
C
That's
what
the
issue
is
and
so
I'm
just
asking
that
we
look
at
that
because,
essentially
like
you,
can
use
you
and
me
as
an
example,
I
am
paid
less
than
you
buy
a
lot,
not
just
a
little,
because
the
family
insurance
is
a
lot
more
expensive
to
the
city
and
I
just
feel
like
in
a
changing
demographic
where
you're.
Looking
at
all
these
new
people,
there's
going
to
be
lots
of
young
people
who
aren't
married,
who
are
coming
into
the
city
system.
C
It's
not
a
traditional
system
anymore,
and
it
just
feels
to
me,
like
I'm,
being
penalized
for
not
being
married
across
the
board,
now
I'm
being
penalized
for
not
being
married
and
benefits
at
the
city.
It's
a
major
amount
of
money.
If
this
was
like
50
dollars,
I
probably
didn't
bring
it
up,
but
believe
me
I'm,
not
anxious
to
be
bringing
it
up
now
either
it's
on
the
agenda.
I
wouldn't
have
been
called
Rigga
to
complain
about
it.
But
if
we're
talking
about
this
I
just
want
to
note
it.
E
J
Thank
You
Thomas
I
I,
wonder
if
you
could
elaborate
a
little
bit
on
we're
kind
of
front-load
of
the
conversation,
noting
a
generational
shift
and
who
were
according
to
the
city
and
and
who
were
trying
to
attract
and
who
we
need
to
be
competitive
with
and
I
wonder
if
Unilever
a
little
bit
in
the
last
bullet
point
on
sort
of
other
potential
benefits
in
the
way.
What
are
we
looking
at?
That
is
attracting
a
younger
demographic.
What
do
we
see?
People
asking
for?
J
G
Palmisano
and
councilmember
Fletcher,
it's
really
all
over
the
board.
I
think
that
the
generations
that
are
now
prevalent
in
the
work
force
want
options
to
your
point:
councilmember
Goodman
they
want
flex,
they
want,
they
want
to
pick
and
choose.
You
know,
there's
all
kinds
of
things
out
there:
around
financial
health,
financial
wellness
people
want
financial,
counseling,
there's
pet
pet
insurance.
G
That's
come
up
and
popped
up
for
a
lot
of
employers,
but
you
know
the
voluntary
benefits
base
is
huge,
there's
just
a
whole
array
of
benefits
that
we
could
add
as
voluntary
and
then
employees
could
pick
and
choose
and
there
could
be
a
contribution
that
the
city
makes,
and
then
people
could
have
options.
So
it's
all
those
kinds
of
things
I
think
leave
the
leave
programs
right
now
is
one
of
the
biggest
things
in
demand
that
we
see
is
there.
G
You
know
that
whole
Millennials
and
Gen
Xers
coming
in
want
paid
time
off
they
want
and
they
want
flexible
schedule.
So
I'm
not
sure
if
that
answers
your
question,
but
it's
there's
a
whole
variety
of
things
that
we
can
look
at
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
that
two-way
communication
going
with
our
employees
so
that
we'd
be
able.
You
know
we're
getting
that
input
and
we
can
plan
ahead
and
keep
you
informed
and
you
can
help
guide
some
of
those
decisions.
A
Other
questions
and
comments,
I,
don't
see
any
thank
you
miss
Tennyson
and
director
Ferguson
for
your
time.
Thank
you
very
much.
I
appreciate
it,
and
this
is
a
receive
and
file
item.
So
all
those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
aye.
Thank
you
opposed
that
carries.
We
have
one
last
item
on
our
agenda
and
I
will
turn
it
over
to
councilmember
Cano
to
walk
us
through
it.
Thank.
L
You,
madam
chair,
appreciate
it.
You
should
all
have
a
copy
of
the
staff
direction
here
in
front
of
you,
and
this
work
began
a
few
months
ago,
when
many
of
us
were
interested
in
supporting
part
of
the
Beast
that
made
a
parade.
There
were
questions
about
how
the
city
is
investing
our
resources,
time,
energy,
staffing
into
supporting
local
theaters,
the
local
art
and
creative
economy,
and
so
councilmember,
Goodman
and
I
have
been
chatting
with
this
and
I.
L
Actually,
there's
been
a
few
other
council
members
that
have
been
expressing
interest
in
this
line
of
work
as
well.
So,
basically,
what
the
staff
direction
is
about
is
pulling
together
internal
city
workgroup
to
review
the
body
of
work
that
we
are
doing
currently
on
public
art,
on
investments
relating
to
the
creative
economy.
L
A
L
There's
been
as
I
mentioned
at
the
beginning,
there's
been
a
lot
of
different
council
members
talking
to
each
other
about
what
this
body
work
entails.
How
is
it
supporting
our
current
policy
priorities
looking
at
ways
to
make
improvements,
and
so
because
there's
been
more
than
three
council
members
in
the
mayor's
office
and
staff
involved.
C
You,
madam
chair,
I,
really
appreciated
when
councilman
Meccano
has
approached
this.
This
came
up
as
an
extensive
conversation
and
the
results
Minneapolis
meeting,
and
rather
than
waiting
for
the
budget
process,
to
try
to
redesign
a
system
I
think
councillor.
Meccano
is
intentionally
trying
to
figure
out
kind
of
what
the
strengths
and
opportunities
are
within
our
arts
operation
and
what
the
weaknesses
are
to
and
how
we
can
potentially
move
forward
with
some
level
of
redesign
councillor.
C
Cano
has
been
in
touch
with
me
multiple
times
about
this
and
I
have
had
the
opportunity
to
review
kind
of
her
work
plan
and
what
she
had
suggested
come
from
the
coordinators
office.
So
I
put
my
name
on
this,
which
probably
says
I'm
supportive
of
what
she's
doing,
but
I
also
highly
respect
the
fact
that,
rather
than
letting
it
turned
into
a
budget
fight,
she's
bringing
it
up
in
advance
of
the
budget
super.
