Description
Minneapolis Committee of the Whole Meeting
https://lims.minneapolismn.gov/
A
Afternoon,
I
am
going
to
call
to
order
this
regular
meeting
of
the
committee
of
the
whole
for
Wednesday
May
15.
My
name
is
Andrea
Jenkins
and
I.
Am
the
chair
of
this
committee
with
me
at
the
dais,
our
council
members,
Johnson,
Palmisano,
Fletcher,
Ellison
council,
president
bender
council,
member
or
Sami
council
members,
Cunningham
Fletch,
it
I
think
I
already
said,
come
on
Fletcher,
but
council,
member
Cano
and
Goodman
as
well
as
council
member
straighter.
Let
the
record
reflect
that
we
do
have
a
quorum,
also
councilmember
Goodman
and
joined
us
as
well.
A
A
That
item
is
the
approval
of
for
council
appointments
to
fill
the
vacancies
on
the
racial
equity,
Community,
Advisory
Committee
and
those
appointments
are
juhi,
poplin,
see
Terrence
Anderson,
Q,
Annie,
Omar
and
Samantha
pre
extension,
so
I
move
the
approval
of
these
appointments
on
item
number
two
on
our
agenda.
Is
there
any
discussion?
A
Is
there
any
discussion
seeing
none
all
those
in
favor,
say:
aye
aye,
any
opposed,
say,
nay,
and
that
item
carries
I
will
now
return
to
item
number
1,
which
is
the
status
update
on
the
strategic,
racial,
strategic
and
racial
equity
action
plan,
and
that
report
will
be
given
by
mr.
joy,
Mar
Stevens
from
a
city
coordinators
office.
B
Good
afternoon,
chair
and
committee
members,
we
are
here
so
join
our
Stevens
from
the
division
of
race
and
equity
in
the
city
coordinators
office.
I
am
also
joined
by
Nick
Campbell
and
Melanie
placin
ski
we're.
Gonna
walk
you
through
an
update
on
best
42
commercial
equity
action
plan,
I'll
provide
a
bit
of
background
and
then
Nick
and
Melanie
will
provide
more
context
around
some
of
the
work.
That's
currently
ongoing
with
our
external
policy
areas.
B
So,
just
as
a
reminder,
the
council
did
adopted
mission,
vision,
values
and
goals
for
the
city
overall,
for
this
work
over
the
course
of
the
last
few
months.
The
strategic
of
racial
equity
action
plan
is
a
portion
of
that
work.
It's
aligned
with
our
mission,
vision
and
values
and
the
goals,
and
it
sets
a
set
of
priorities
for
us
to
be
looking
at
that
the
city
has
adopted
or
that
the
council
has
adopted
those
specific
priorities.
B
So
again
the
the
the
aid
goal
or
the
goal
areas
of
the
city
established
the
City
Council
adopted
of
those
goal
areas.
We
are
looking
at
setting
a
priority
around
again:
public
safety,
Housing
and
Economic
Development.
This
is
all
information
that
we've
shared
in
the
past
is
wanting
to
make
sure
that
we're
routing
today's
presentation,
within
the
context
of
the
decisions
that
have
happened
prior.
B
The
actual
components
of
the
strategic
and
racial
equity
action
plan
focus
on
our
internal
operational
priorities,
which
we
establish
in
Council,
adopted
back
in
December
of
last
year.
Looking
at
how
we
spend
our
money,
how
we
diversify
our
workforce,
how
we
look
at
racially
disaggregated
data
and
use
that
in
the
legislative
process
and
then,
lastly,
how
we
leverage
our
boards
and
commissions
as
a
as
a
vehicle
through
which
we
can
actually
do
deeper
engagement
and
leveraging
them
to
help
us
advance
racial
equity.
B
Ultimately,
the
results
of
those
engagements
that
we're
having
with
those
key
stakeholders
result
in
again
a
strategic
need
being
identified
across
all
of
those
different
seven
pipes,
those
seven
priority
areas
that
key
lagging
indicator
for
how
we're
going
to
be
able
to
look
back
and
say
how
were
we
successful
in
meeting
that
goal?
The
problem
statement,
SMART
goals
the
metric
of
urgency,
which
is
really
that
leading
indicator
while
we're
in
the
midst
of
the
process.
How
are
we
being
able
to
measure
if
we're
on
track?
C
Thank
You
Joey.
Thank
you.
So
this
the
work
that
has
been
done
on
the
strategic
and
racial
equity
action
plan
to
date
includes
last
fall.
Strategic
planning
retreats
that
took
place
as
well
as
Joe
mentioned
the
adoption
of
the
operational
and
policy
priorities
in
February
of
2019.
Presently
this
spring
we
are
conducting
ongoing
community
engagement
on
the
policy
priority
areas,
as
well
as
doing
an
analysis
of
available
in
existing
data
across
topic
areas
and
conducting
subject
matter,
expert
workshops
which
I'll
talk
a
little
bit
more
about.
C
So
my
colleagues
and
I
have
been
conducting
community
engagement
activities
in
a
variety
of
forms
since
the
since
beginning
in
March,
and
those
include
six
community
facilitated
dialogue
sessions
in
communities,
most
impacted
by
the
inequities
in
these
areas.
We've
done
tabling
and
outreach
at
community
events
where
we
have
been
invited
to
do
so.
We
have
scheduled
and
conducted
one-on-one
meetings
with
impacted
community
stakeholders
and
organizational
leaders,
as
well
as
providing
support
to
the
racial
equity
community
advisory
committee
and
how
they
can
be
of
assistance
and
support
in
leading
moving
the
street
plan
forward.
C
And
we
see
that
this
is
data
from
the
evictions
in
Minneapolis
2016
report
showing
us
that
both
filings
and
judgments
there's
a
trend
in
decreasing
numbers
in
both
of
those
areas.
But
there
is
also
evidence
to
show
us
that,
in
impacted
zip
codes
that
there
is
still
disproportionate
burden
with
involuntary
displacement.
C
So
the
source
of
that
evidence
is
both
in
the
report.
I
just
mentioned,
as
well
as
results
that
came
out
of
these
subject
matter:
expert
sessions
and
community
engagement
that
qualitative
data
piece
that
we
have
gathered,
which
points
to
the
fact
that
there
are
potentially
significant
number
of
renters
who
are
displaced
through
what
might
be
considered
informal
evictions
to
include
being
giving
a
notice
to
vacate
lease
non-renewals
simply
being
asked
so
Eve
or
reasons
associated
with
a
lack
of
knowledge
about
rights
and
responsibilities.
C
C
There
is
need
to
increase
access
to
expungement
for
individuals
with
unlawful
detainer
on
their
records,
need
to
increase
safe,
affordable
permanent
housing,
ideally
with
access
and
connection
to
culturally
relevant
health,
social
and
psychological
supportive
services,
and
also
the
need
for
awareness
of
rights,
responsibilities
and
regulations
for
tenants
to
prevent
displacement,
especially
those
who
are
most
vulnerable
and
because
of
the
evidence
I
just
mentioned,
not
only
in
fictions
impacting
displacement.
The
strategic
need
has
been
updated
to
reducing
involuntary
displacement
in
rental
housing
for
black
indigenous
immigrant
and
people
of
color
communities
that
are
most
disproportionately
impacted.
C
In
the
working
meeting
in
the
working
meetings,
this
value
stream
of
involuntary
displacement
process
was
identified
with
the
beginning
being
that
a
resident
needs
housing.
The
end
being
that
the
resident
moves
out
and
somewhere
along
within
these
steps
of
this
process
is
where
there's
opportunity
for
this
city
to
invest
vital
projects
in
the
next
three
years
to
impact
have
the
greatest
impact
on
the
goal
as
it
is
established.
C
A
Me
mr.
Podesta,
before
you
leave
I'm
curious
at
the
beginning
of
your
presentation,
you
identified
that
he
Vixens
had
been
steadily
in
decreasing,
though
they
were
still
disproportionate,
in
particular
zip
codes
and
it
looked
like
it
was
five
five,
four
one
one
one
two,
but
what
do
you
attribute
to
the
decrease.
D
So
I,
don't
chair,
Jenkins
and
I,
don't
know
if
we
necessarily
know
what
the
answer
is.
I
think
the
partners
were
at
the
table
who
were
in
the
subject
matter.
Expert
workshops
might
have
better
insight
or
even
city
staff
around,
but
it
was
clear
in
conversations
that
the
disparity
isn't
changing,
even
though
they're
reducing
their
being
reducing
overall
over
time
the
disparities
and
changing
in
some.
In
some
cases
it's
increasing.
E
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I
wondered
so
I
just
wanna,
say:
I
could
talk
about
this
for,
like
eight
hours,
I'll
try
to
just
be
focused
and
I'm
really
excited
about
this
work.
Could
you
go
back,
let's
see
to
the
part
where
you
had
changed
the
language
in
the
a
strategic
need,
so
when
we
were
originally
talking
about
in
the
draft
strategic
needs
that
we
adopted
as
a
council.
E
One
reason
I
think
we
chose
to
do
in
fiction's
instead
of
something
that
would
be
described
as
involuntary
displacement
was
because
of
a
potential
concern
about
being
able
to
track
the
data
related
to
involuntary
displacement
rather
than
evictions,
which
is
easier
to
track.
Can
you
talk
about
how
we
might
be
able
to
measure
this?
C
Jenkins
councilmember
bender
there
was
a
great
deal
of
discussion
and
really
active
discussion
with
subject
matter.
Experts
specifically
to
your
question.
There
was
a
lot
of
debate
around
changing
that
B
from
something
very
specific,
like
evictions
to
involuntary
displacement,
and
my
my
response
can
be
that
the
consensus
was
that
we
cannot
leave
these
people
behind
who
are
being
displaced
for
reasons
other
than
eviction
because
of
predatory
landlord
procedures
and
things
that
we
know
are
actually
happening
that
are
impacting
rates
at
homelessness
and
people
not
having
the
opportunity
be
well
because
of
not
having
stable
housing.
C
E
I
ask
a
follow-up
so
then
I
would
assume
that
we're
still
measuring
eviction,
so
we'll
still
have
that
data.
So
we
will
just
do
our
I
mean
we'll
do
our
best
to
also
track
something
that
might
be
harder
to
track
and
understand.
I
have
a
little
concern.
I,
just
don't
want
us
to,
because
one
of
the
things
I
think
is
a
is
such
a
benefit
of
this
process.
Is
we've
already
identified
this
as
a
priority
in
the
council?
E
We're
doing
a
lot
of
things,
but
this
will
help
us
I
think,
ideally
over
time
understand,
what's
working,
which
things
maybe
need
to
be
tweaked,
where
we
should
really
put
more
resources
or
not,
and
so
I
just
don't
want
us
because
of
lack
of
data
to
assume
that
strategies
aren't
working
when
maybe
they
are
actually
having
mean
a
meaningful
impact
in
reducing
and
voluntary
displacement.
For
example,
absolutely.
B
So
chair,
Jenkins
council,
president
bender
we're
at
this
stage
of
the
process
of
round
housing
and
economic
development
and
public
safety,
where
our
strategic
need
is
really
one.
It's
informed
by
the
conversation
that
we've
had
with
our
community
stakeholders,
but
we're
also
out
of
play
of
not
limiting
the
focus
of
it
because
of
the
solutions
or
limitations
within
the
potential
solution,
particularly
around
how
we're
tracking
data.
E
Then,
if
I
may
I
mean
for
what
it's
worth,
I
think
this
term
better
reflects
the
intention
of
the
council,
so
I
think
you'll
find
support
for
that
direction,
and
the
original
reason
to
have
gone
with
something
as
specific
as
evictions
was
about
again
about
concern
over
data,
so
I'm
excited
to
see
it
expand
I
think
it
does
get
to
what
we're
trying
to
really
prevent
so
appreciate
the
time
to
ask
questions.
Yes,
thank.
C
D
D
D
We
also
there
was
also
folks
involved
in
the
room
who
could
speak
to
that
gap
in
not
just
the
number
and
if
you
actually
look
at
some
of
the
data
there,
that
number
is
increasing
but
doesn't
necessarily
mean
that
the
growth
of
those
businesses
or
the
sustainability
or
the
successful
businesses
is,
is,
is
being
addressed.
And
so
this
is
a
parity
measure
chart
showing
what
the
actual
number
of
businesses
gross
receipts
and
employees
are
compared
to.
D
In
community
during
the
community
engagement
sessions,
some
of
the
themes
echoed
that
specifically
some
of
the
specifics
that
were
spoken
to
around
increasing
access
to
capital,
culturally
specific
training
and
education,
support
of
information
about
how
to
expand
and
grow
not
just
start
small
business
owners
would
benefit
from
capacity-building
and
skill
building
around
marketing
design
and
financial
management.
So
again,
more
of
that
skill,
building,
piece
and
capacity
building,
piece
and
education.
D
So
with
that,
in
those
subject
matter
expert
workshops,
the
UPS,
the
strategic
need
was
again
revised
to
better
reflect
those
components,
so
it
remain
largely
the
same,
but
instead
of
just
talking
about
increasing
the
number
it
was
about,
we
changed
it
to
increasing
the
entry
and
sustainability
open.
This
is
a
Minneapolis
owned
by
people
of
color,
so
the
disparity
between
black
indigenous
people
of
color,
immigrant
communities
and
white
people
is
eliminated.
D
D
How
do
you
connect
entrepreneurs
of
color
to
supportive
resources
and
again,
there's
a
lot
of
components,
and
there
was
a
lot
of
different
street
value
streams
or
processes
that
were
talked
about,
but
with
both
taking
account
work,
that's
already
happening
both
in
the
city
and
outside
the
city
and
also
where
the
city
has
a
role
to
play.
This
value
stream
was
one
of
the
things
that
rose
to
the
top
in
those
discussions,
and
so
the
process
for
connection
of
to
support
resources
was
around.
D
And
so
that's
a
process
that
the
city's
involved
in
and
a
lot
of
different
levels,
and
sometimes
it
happens
to
the
small
business
team.
Sometimes
it
happens
through
staff
at
sea
pets.
Sometimes
it
can
happen
through
a
council
member,
maybe
even-
and
so
digging
into
this
a
little
farther
there's
some
additional
work
that
we're
going
to
be
doing
with
the
process
owners
to
identify
how
well
our
entrepreneur's
getting
connected
to
what
they
need
and
are
they
is
it?
F
F
G
I
Madam
chair
councilmember,
Cunningham
David
Frank
from
sea,
pet
I,
don't
believe
so
as
I
stand
here,
we
could
certainly
check
with
our
City
Attorney's
Office,
but
I
know
you
know,
that's
not
how
any
of
our
programs
is
set
up
right
now
and
I,
don't
believe
we
can
okay.
F
F
D
Yeah
we're
not
talking,
it
could
be
either.
So
it
says
this
is
like
high-level.
It
could
be
internal
financing
resources,
it
could
be
external
financing
resources,
it
could
be
business
planning
resource
like
really
anything
when
a
business
problem
arises
for
an
entrepreneur
or
a
small
business
owner
whatever
that
problem
is
connecting
10
to
whatever
and
it
might
not
even
be
a
resource,
it
could
be
a
network,
it
could
be
a
person,
the
resource
isn't
necessarily
just
a
specific
program
or
tool.
It
could
be
a
lot
of
different
things,
both
internally
or.
F
Externally
great,
thank
you
and
then
my
last
question.
If
I
may,
madam
chair
is
so,
we
talked
about
wealth
creation
and
retention,
so
that
one
of
the
challenges,
for
example,
is
credit,
so
there
there
are
particularly
with
black
businesses.
There
are
three
areas
that
really
get
in
the
way:
it's
starting
capital,
its
credit
and
his
trust.
There
are
gaps
in
those
three
areas,
so,
for
example,
businesses
won't
even
come
to
the
city
to
ask
for
helping
if
they
don't
trust
that
they
ultimately
will
get
help
or
that
they
would
qualify
for
it.
F
So
so
have
has
there
been
consideration
about
the
component
of
like
those
barriers
that
come
up.
I
know
that
that's
not
necessarily
explicitly
named
here,
but
just
taken
into
consideration,
because
that
is
what
research
have
shown,
particularly
for
black
businesses
are
those
three
big
barriers.
Yeah.
D
D
To
then
focus
in
where
the
breakdown
is
in
this
value
stream,
and
if
that
breakdown,
where
we
will
have
the
biggest
impact
in
addressing
is
financial
capital,
for
example,
and
then
talking
through
okay,
how
do
we
develop
the
solution?
That's
gonna
have
an
impact
on
what
that
breakdown
was
where
that
breakdown
was
identified
and
like
and
you're
right.
We
do
know
where
that
breakdown
is,
in
some
cases
already
yeah
great.
F
Well,
I
just
want
to
say
that
I
would
like
for
those
three
particular
areas
to
be
taken
into
consideration
as
we're
breaking
down
deeper
into
the
work,
because
I've
read
lots
of
research
on
this,
and
so
its
credits,
access
to
capital
and
Trust.
Those
are
the
three
gaps
so
just
to
put
that.
Thank
you
out
there.
Thank
you.
D
For
each
of
these
policy
areas,
there's
that
deeper
work
and
planning
that's
going
to
be
happening
with
process
owners
and
departments
to
get
exact
get
to
get
at
exactly
the
specifics
for
the
plan
around
the
problem
statement,
the
lay
indicators,
the
vital
projects,
the
work
plan,
and
then
we
still
have
continued
communication
and
activities
happening
and
then
again
the
final
piece
will
be
that
work
plan
that
then
departments
will
work
off
of
to
actually
achieve
the
projects
that
are
outlined
in
the
plan.
That's
adopted
some
of
that
just
to
dig
a
little
deeper.
D
D
So
we've
been
sharing,
updates
and
we'll
continue
to
share
updates
with
partner
organizations,
stakeholders
and
city
advisory
committees,
both
who
maybe
attended
the
sessions
and
want
to
know
where
things
are
at
and
then
we're
posting
process
process
updates
on
the
city
website
as
well,
and
then
some
journal
pieces
is
continue
to
share
updates
on
the
plan
with
leadership
in
the
city,
working
with
Department
process
owners
on
finalizing
those
components
of
the
plan
and
then,
as
it's
finalized
working
with
communications,
really
informing
staff.
How
the
plan
will
impact
their
work.
D
A
You
are
there
any
other
questions
or
comments,
any
other
questions
or
comment.
I
would
just
like
to
thank
miss
joy,
Martinez
and
her
staff,
for
this
update
is
I.
Think
it's
really
important
that
the
council,
because
these
parts
are
sort
of
separated
and
to
bring
them
all
together,
so
that
we
can
all
have
a
status
update
of
where
we
are
in
this
process.
A
So
thank
you
very
much
so
with
that
I
would
move
to
receive
and
file
this
date,
all
those
in
favor
say
aye
aye
any
opposed
a
name
and
that
item
carries
and
then
under
our
race,
equity
subcommittee,
agenda
item
number
3,
here's
a
status
update
on
the
implementation
and
the
additional
work
related
to
the
2040
comprehensive
plan.
That
presentation
will
be
given
by
heather
burlington
from
the
Community
Planning
and
Economic
Development
Department
welcome
mr.
Wellington
Thank.
J
You
chair
good
afternoon
I
have
a
very
brief
presentation
to
make
I
wanted
to
our
staff
put
together
a
graphic
that
we
hope
will
help
explain
how
the
comprehensive
plan
can
help
the
City
Council
move
forward
with
strategic
initiatives
like
the
s3
project,
but
also
other
policy
creation
and
changes
that
you
have
directed
staff
to
do
so.
We
tried
to
put
a
graphic
together
that
would
help
you
understand
how
the
Comprehensive
Plan
informs
and
helps
to
guide
this
work.
So
I'll
just
walk
you
through
this
very
quickly
I'm
the
on
the
left.
J
You
see,
Minneapolis
2040
and
the
policies
that
are
contained
within
that
document
that
relate
to
goal
number
one
around
eliminating
disparities,
and
so
there's
there's
a
variety
of
things
on
this
list.
There's
your
commitment,
your
stated
commitment,
both
through
adoption
of
the
comp
plan
and
existing
work
like
the
strategic
racial
equity
action
planning,
that
is,
that
represents
a
commitment
to
ending
disparities
in
the
city.
J
Obviously,
you
will
get
a
deeper
date
from
Jason
Wittenberg
in
the
code
development
team
at
a
later
meeting.
This
is
merely
a
discussion
today
about
how
the
policy
impact
of
this
document
can
show
up
in
the
work
that
the
city
does
on
a
regular
basis
and
then
how
the
community
experiences
the
work
is
really
through.
Your
work
on
the
city
budget,
through
regulatory
actions,
programs
and
services
and
Department
work
plans.
J
K
Well,
just
while
you're
here
and
when
I
read
the
agenda
item,
I
guess
it
was
gonna,
be
a
little
bit.
I
thought
it
might
be
a
little
bit
more.
Can
you
just
let
us
know
where
the
comp
plan
is
in
the
process
of
the
Met
Council
and
just
generally
in
terms
of
approval
and
on
implementation
and
where
it
is
Thank.
J
J
K
A
Mm-Hmm,
are
there
other
questions
or
comments,
say
none.
Thank
you,
miss
Worthington
for
that
update
and
its
brevity,
and
if
there
are
no
other
questions
or
comments,
I
move
to
receive
and
file
this
presentation,
all
those
in
favor,
say
aye
any
opposed,
say,
nay,
and
that
item
carries
and
before
we
move
it
to
our
community
reports.
A
I
just
want
to
make
sure
to
acknowledge
that
councilmember
Wright
is
on
City
business
this
afternoon,
and
so
subsequently
is
not
here
with
us
today,
and
we
will
now
move
to
the
reports
of
our
committees
and
we
will
begin
with
the
budget
committee
and
that
would
be
given
by
its
chair,
councilmember
Palmisano.
Thank.
L
You,
madam
chair
this
last
second,
we
received
and
filed
many
results:
Minneapolis
Department
reports
from
Rex,
Davis's,
Finance,
the
city
clerk
and
internal
on
it.
Nothing,
no
actions
on
that
need
to
be
taken
on
Friday,
but
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
It
was
a
robust
piece
we're
exactly
halfway
through
the
results.
Minneapolis
works,
so
thank
you
for
everybody's
attention
and
participation
on
them.
I
also
wanted
to
point
out
that
tomorrow
we
have
our
biggest
last
meeting,
we'll
have
several
reports,
including
police
and
Public
Works,
and
the
attorney
the
City
Assessor
and
Fire.
M
You,
madam
vice
president,
the
community
development
of
regulatory
Services
Committee
is
bringing
nine
four
9s
work
for
tomorrow.
Item
number
one
is
a
sidewalk
cafe
permit
for
blue
door
and
Longfellow
decided.
We
will
be
postponing
one
cycle
later.
Number
two:
is
our
building
fees
permit
ordinance
item
three?
Are
the
liquor
license
approvals
and
four?
Is
the
liquor
license
renewals
item
5?
Is
our
gambling
license
approvals
item?
6
is
accepting
a
redevelopment
grant
from
deed
for
the
Lake
Street
Apartments
item?
7
is
a
fairly
large
item,
a
small
item.
M
It's
a
contract
amendments
on
the
great
seas,
business
to
support
grants.
Essentially
what
we're
saying
is,
if
you
haven't
been
able
to
get
your
grant
out
the
door.
That's
okay,
we'll
give
you
a
little
bit
more
time.
Item
8
is
appointments
to
the
upper
Harbor
Terminal
Community
Planning
Committee,
as
well
as
changing
the
name
of
the
committee
and
item
number.
Well,
that's
the
change
of
the
name.
Is
an
item
number
9,
so
appointments
have
been
a
change
in
the
name
from
upper
harbour
terminal,
community
engagement
committee
to
upper
harbour
term
or
collaborative
planning
committee.
F
You,
madam
chair,
thanks
for
the
shout
out
so
I
just
want
to
say
how
excited
I
am
for
this
committee.
The
reason
why
we
changed
the
name
well
aside
from
the
fact
that
the
shorthand
with
CPAC,
which
is
really
close
to
see
ped
and
CPAC,
which
is
a
component
of
the,
but
also
really
to
ingrain
the
fact
that
it's
a
collaborative
process,
I
heard
loud
and
clear
from
the
community
that
there
was
a
need
for
a
mechanism
that
actually
had
the
community
heavily
and
deeply
involved
in
the
planning
process.
F
And
that's
exactly
what
we're
having
here
so
operationalizing
it
we're
going
to
be
having
deliberative
democracy
really
ingrained
throughout
so
folks
are
to
be
deeply
informed
on
it
and
being
able
to
make
that
hard
choice,
work
about
the
housing
about
the
Performing,
Arts,
Center
and
so
on,
and
the
folks
that
we
have
on
the
committee
are
really
amazing.
We
have
folks
who
are
bringing
lots
of
connections,
assets,
strengths
and
I'm
really
excited
to
be
working
alongside
them
and
grateful
that
they
said
yes
to
this
Thank
You
manager.
Thank.
K
You
vice
president,
the
housing
policy
committees
into
bringing
four
six
items
for
approval
first
item
is
approving
the
red,
well

increment
financing.
Plan.
Second
item
is
D
certifying
three
different

K
The

also
their

That's

The

authorizing
a
one-year
contract
renewal,
basically
with
Homeline,
to

education
and
resources
to
minneapolis
renters,
and
the
sixth
item
is
approving
appointments
to
the
minneapolis
public
housing
authority
and
I'm
happy
to
take
questions
on
any
of
those
items.
A
F
You,
madam
chair,
the
public
health
environment,
civil
rights
and
engagement
committee
brings
forward
is
going
to
be
bringing
forward
five
items
for
approval
this
Friday.
The
first
is
appointments
to
the
violence

steering
committee,
the
mayoral
appointment
of
chief
Arredondo,
as
well
as
sheriff
hutchinson,
the
council
appointment
of
jennifer
white
and
the
council
appointment
of
landfill
montt.
F
Number
four
is
a
accepting
program.
Funding,
2019
urban
scholars
program,
funding
from
partner
organizations
and
number
five
is
its
a
staff
direction
around
the
neighborhood
2020
framework
I'll
go
ahead
and
read
through
it
since
its
new,
a
new
item
so
directing
the
neighborhood
community
relations
department,
staff
in
partnership
with
finance
and
property
services,
staff
and
others.
F
As
needed
to
do
the
following
collaborate
with
Kira
to
complete
the
resident
led
process
of
furthering
the
neighborhoods
2020
framework
developing
program
guidelines
at
the
collaborate
level
based
on
the
International
Association
of
public
participation
spectrum,
this
process
is
to
completed
be
completed
by
October
28
2019.
The
aspects
of
the
work
should
include,
but
are
not
limited
to
development
of
overall
program
goals
and
outcomes,
metrics
to
measure
progress
towards
goals,
defining
a
racial
equity
analysis
of
Neighborhood,
Association
operation
and
activities,
development
of
a
logic
model
that
includes
inputs,
activities,
outputs
and
outcomes,
convening
of
various
stakeholders.
F
Six
identifying
a
neutral
budget,
neutral
structure
of
NCR
to
best
support,
neighborhood
associations,
7,
is
defining
a
preferred
funding
stream
for
ongoing
funding
and
neighborhood
associations,
and
the
last
is
leveraging
the
work
completed,
thus
far
to
develop
the
neighborhoods
2020
framework
and
program
guidelines.
I
just
want
to.
Let
folks
know
that,
based
on
conversations
that
I've
had
with
colleagues
that
I
will
also
be
bringing
forward
some
amendments
around
the
wording
here,
but
also
additions.
So
the
additions
will
include
for
cube.
F
It's
essentially
directions
for
Kiera
the
bounds
for
them
to
work
within
so
work
within
the
4
point,
1
million
dollars
currently
allocated
to
neighborhood
organizations
to
publish
the
proposed
framework
for
public
comment
by
July
1st
2019
and
to
report
back
to
the
Peace
Committee,
with
the
framework
with
a
proposed
framework
for
approval
on
July
15
2019
for
Kiera
to
meet
bimonthly
with
internal
city
state
stakeholders.
A
committee
made
up
of
the
NCR
director
NCR
lead
staff.
F
The
peace
committee
chair,
two
council
members
representative
from
the
mayor's
office,
the
CFO
and
the
city
coordinator,
an
optional
participation
in
the
neighborhood
election
day
as
well
as
community-based
organizations.
Collaborating
must
collaborate
with
neighborhood
organizations
to
access
funding,
so
just
to
give
folks
that
and
I
will
be
sure
to
send
that
around
so
folks
see
that
including
the
clerk's
office.
So
with
that
I
am
happy
to
answer
any
questions
on
any
items.
F
G
F
F
G
I'll
work
with
you
and
others.
You
know
offline
here
to
work
through
that
specific
concern,
because
some
of
the
community-based
organizations
in
Ward
9
have
been
you
know,
blocked
off
from
receiving
resources
and
and
collaborating
in
community
because
they
can't
get
along
with
the
neighborhood
association.
And
so
there's
there's
like
a
lot
of
nuances,
I
think
to
how
this
can
get
structured.
So
I'd
love
to
just
be
able
to
work
with
you
all
more
specifically
and
on
how
we
roll
that
part
of
it
out
so
I'll,
just
yeah.
K
Just
wanted
to
know
that
the
motions
that
did
pass
are
in
their
binder.
If
you
want
to
see
what
the
three
amendments
were
to
the
framework
and
the
one
councilmember
Connor
was
right,
it
says
establishing
a
preference
to
community-based
organizations
that
we
see.
Funding
from
this
program
are
encouraged
to
partner
with
the
neighborhood
organization,
but
will
not
be
barred
from
receiving
funding
as
long
as
the
work
completed
meets
their
city's
racial
equity
goals,
so
that
did
gain
the
committee's
support
on
the
way.
It
was
an
interesting,
interesting
meeting.
K
As
he's
entering
into
his
writing
and
drafting
and
preparing
this
budget
could
be
so
great
that
it's
it's,
it's
not
worth
the
wait.
I
appreciate
that
there's
a
willingness
to
engage
in
the
fact
is,
with
the
framework
in
place,
there's
still
policy
guidelines,
it'll
have
to
be
developed,
there'll,
be
details
to
work
out
and
there's
big
questions
about
the
funding
as
well
and
I.
K
Think,
with
the
framework
that
we
had,
we
were
very
close
to
something
that
I
think
helped
address
some
of
the
fuze
concerns
with
neighborhood
organizations,
but
still
really
clearly
indicate
that
they're
valuable
and
there
they'll
continue
to
be
valued
in
our
organization.
So
I'm
hopeful,
maybe
there's
some
opportunity
between
now
and
Friday
to
continue
working
together
to
come
up
with
a
framework
that
can
be
approved
and
maybe
a
staff
direction
that
folks
can
live
with.
F
E
You,
madam
chair
I,
just
wanted
to
make
a
little
bit
of
comment
about
the
process
for
Friday
I'm,
just
giving
what
came
out
of
committee,
which
is
a
little
unusual
just
in
terms
of
the
the
underlying
motion
you
know
failing
to
pass
and
then
also
not
coming
forward
without
recommendation,
which
often
happens
from
committees.
So
the
clerk
has
sent
a
long
email
to
council
members
about
process
recommendations.
E
I
just
want
to
publicly
invite
council
members
to
talk
with
me.
If
you
have
any
questions
or
concerns,
I
want
to
make
sure
that
this
important
decision
that
we
have
to
make
together
as
policy
makers
and
as
a
body
isn't
sort
of
disrupted
or
confused
by
process,
and
so
we
have.
You
know
we
have
a
series
of
votes
to
take
and
a
series
of
decisions
to
make,
and
so
I
just
again
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
transparent
and
collaborative
and
how
we
are
approaching,
making
those
decisions
and
not
complicating
with
frustrations
around
process.
E
So
it's
my
goal
on
Friday
and
going
forward
to
make
sure
that
all
the
council
members
feel
like
you
know.
If
they
have
a
motion
they
want
to
make
or
an
amendment
to
do
that
that
those
things
are
able
to
be
included
and
that
we
not
anyone
feel
like
they're,
being
sort
of
cut
out
or
frustrated
by
process.
E
E
We
have
a
draft
framework
which
has
come
from
the
committee
with
some
amendments
at
this
time,
I'm
not
able
to
support
the
framework
as
it
is
coming
to
us
whether
it
does
or
not
on
Friday
or
if
it
goes
back
to
committee
for
all
kinds
of
reasons
coming
from
my
constituents
and
neighborhood
organizations
alike,
and
so
but
my
but
my
perspective
is
if
the
majority
of
the
council
supports
adopting
the
framework.
I
have
concerns
about
also
approving
a
process
that
would
seek
to
have
more
engagement
around
something
that
had
already
been
improved
by
the
council.
E
So
I've
been
talking
with.
All
of
you,
and
really
thankful
for
councilmember
Cunningham,
for
your
thoughtful
leadership
on
this
and
everyone
else,
who's
gotten
so
engaged
I
just
wanted
to
voice
that
concern
that
you
know.
Sometimes
the
votes
are
just
there.
The
votes
are
just
the
votes
and
and
I
might
not
agree
or
others
may
have
other
ideas,
but
I
don't
want
to
create
more
process.
Ask
people
for
more
time
if,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
the
majority
of
the
council
is
comfortable
moving
forward
with,
what's
before
us
thanks.
Madam
chair.
