We
have
a
very
exciting
item
that
I
think
a
lot
of
folks,
maybe
or
here
to
talk
about
so
I,
will
invite
up
NCR
director,
David
Rohde
or
today
we
have
the
neighborhoods
2020
framework
recommendations.
We
have
a
presentation
that
will
be
followed
by
a
public
hearing.
B
You
chair
Cunningham
and
committee
members
good
afternoon
as
chair
Cunningham
mentioned,
I
am
David
Rubin
or
the
director
of
the
neighborhood
and
community
relations
department
and
I'm
here
today
to
present
the
recommended
2020
neighborhoods
2020
framework
when
I
first
off
start
off
by
saying,
thank
you
to
all
the
community
residents
who
are
here
today.
This
is
obviously
a
an
important
topic.
This
is
a
this
has
been
a
big
conversation
through
our
community
and
what
I'll
do
today
is
present
basically
about
the
process
that
led
us
to
where
we're
at
the
reason.
B
Why
we're
doing
this
and
then
also
what
our
recommendations
are
that
are
being
brought
forth
for
your
consideration.
First
of
all,
the
requested
council
action
is
the
passage
of
the
resolution
approving
the
neighborhood's
2020
framework
recommendations.
I
do
know
that
the
committee
chair
also
has
an
amendment
to
this
that
we
all
will
be
discussing
at
the
end.
But
that's
basically,
what
is
what
is
before
us
today.
I
want
to
start
off
a
little
different
than
what
I
normally
do
in
my
presentation.
B
I
wanted
to
include
a
quote
here
that
I
thought
was
really
relevant
for
our
discussion.
This
is
a
big
issue
for
the
city
and
our
neighborhood
organizations
hold
a
lot
of
passion
and
a
lot
of
person.
People
are
personally
connected
to
them
and
I
think
this
quote
really
kind
of
captures.
The
essence
of
what
we're
trying
to
do
specifically
cities
have
the
quote:
is
cities
have
the
capability
of
providing
something
for
everybody
only
because,
and
only
when
they
are
created
by
everybody?
B
We
know
that
many
appleĆs
has
gained
national
and
even
international
acclaim
for
our
neighborhoods,
for
the
vibrancy
for
their
activism
and
for
their
engagement.
Our
neighborhoods
serve
in
their
own
ways
as
small
towns
that
helped
to
create
a
better
City.
I
know.
That's
because
I
got
my
start
in
public
service,
actually
working
for
our
neighborhood
number
of
years
ago.
I
think
this
quote
is
relevant
because
it
speaks
for
the
power
of
residence
and
building
the
city,
and
it
really
puts
people
at
the
center
of
this
work,
which
is
really
vital
to
understand
that.
B
It
also
speaks
to
the
need
to
include
everyone,
which
is
some
of
the
recommendations
that
we're
going
to
be
bringing
forward
to
you
today.
I
really
intended
to
make
the
system
more
inclusive.
Our
conversations
have
been
many
and,
in
some
cases,
challenging
and
difficult
over
the
last
several
years.
I.
Believe,
though,
that
we
all
we,
although
we
may
differ
on
exactly
how
this
work
should
be
done,
we
are
all
working
towards
the
same
goal
of
making
sure
that
Minneapolis
is
a
city
that
benefits
everyone.
B
So
what
is
2020?
What
is
neighborhood
2020
the
service
models
for
neighborhoods
has
largely
remained
unchanged
for
the
past
thirty
years
we
have
changed
programming
and
governance
over
the
over
the
years,
but
the
core
structure
has
remained
relatively
constant.
All
the
while
the
city's
goals,
demographics
and
residents
have
changed
dramatically.
Our
city
is
more
diverse
and
renters
now
are
a
majority
of
our
of
our
city's
residents.
We
are
also
more
aware
of
the
disparities
that
affect
our
community
and
through
recent
actions
by
the
City
Council.
B
We
have
adopted
the
staging
strategic,
racial
equity
action
plan
and
other
efforts
are
underway
to
really
look
at
how
we
do
our
work
differently,
that
the
neighborhoods
2020
recommendations
reflect
a
significant
change
in
how
the
city
will
support
our
neighborhood
systems.
For
the
next
decade,
the
neighborhood,
the
neighborhoods
2020
recommendations,
maintains
the
existing
neighborhood
system,
while
elevating
the
cities
and
the
neighborhoods
role
to
reach
historically
under
engaged
residents.
The
development
of
the
framework
has
been
the
largest
engagement
undertaking
by
the
NCR
Department
since
our
creation,
and
just
to
give
you
an
idea
of
that.
B
We
have
had
over
2000
members
of
the
public
participate
in
this
process
to
date
through
meetings,
public
comment
periods
and
visioning
since
2007
and
I
just
wanted
to
bring.
This
is
a
copy
of
all
the
comments
that
we
have
received
over
the
last
couple
years,
amounting
to
about
1400
pages.
When
you
put
all
the
comments
collectively
together,
that's
not
including
the
the
verbal
conversations
that
we've
had
with
residents
as
well.
So
I
wanted.
This
really
stress.
B
It's
really
getting
I
think
we
also
need
to
touch
base
on
whatever
is
kind
of
the
core
with
neighborhood
organizations
our
neighborhoods
are.
We
have
an
eighty
four
neighborhoods
residential
neighborhoods
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis
that
sort
that
have
organized
some
270
different
organizations
they
are.
They
are
well
positioned
to
identify
local
needs
and
priorities,
and
their
work
has
greatly
benefited.
B
The
city
neighborhoods
create
a
sense
of
place
and
give
residents
agency
working
on
such
things
as
community
gardens,
community
building
activities,
economic
and
affordable
housing
development
over
700
volunteers
come
together,
monthly,
just
to
attend
the
board
meetings
to
keep
their
organizations
moving
forward.
We
also
have
just
recently
completed
with
2018
neighborhood
annual
programs
annual
report,
which
actually
gives
a
really
good
summary
of
a
lot
of
the
good
work
that's
going
on
around
in
the
city.
These
are
available
both
inside
and
outside
of
the
of
the
Chamber's
here.
B
We
have
had
a
considerable
impact
on
making
Minneapolis
a
better
City.
There's
no
question
about
that,
but
we
also
know
that
not
everyone
is
fully
engaged
in
this
work.
Having
diverse
representation
at
the
board
level,
where
decisions
affecting
resource
allocation,
programming
and
staffing
decisions
are
made
is
also
important.
B
Diversity
in
leadership
matters
our
biannual
diversity,
our
biannual
board
diversity
survey,
which
in
NCR
just
recently
completed
our
third
cycle,
shows
significant
under-representation
and
lack
indigenous
and
people
of
color,
rent
and
renters
as
compared
to
the
overall
city.
We
know
that
some
neighborhoods
have
done
some
excellent
work
and
trying
to
address
the
diverse
representation,
but
overall
we
have
not
seen
any
significant
change
in
the
last
four
years
as
we
move
forward
and
look
into
the
next
stake
decade.
These
are
the
critical
areas
we
will
need
to
address
to
ensure
our
neighborhood
organizations
remain.
B
B
All
through
the
know
about
this
process,
India
NCR
Department
has
kept
activity
at
the
core
of
our
work.
The
department's
equity
folk
has
really
started
in
earnest
in
2016
when
the
City
Council
adopted
NCR's
blueprint
for
equitable
engagement,
furthering
the
city's
goal
of
one
Minneapolis
or
collective
work
to
create
a
more
equitable
City
did
not
stop
there.
B
Recently,
the
City
Council
adopted
the
2040
plan,
which
states
Minneapolis
will
have
an
equitable,
equitable
civic
participation
system
that
in
franchises,
everyone
recognizes
the
core
and
vital
service
neighborhood
organizations
provide
to
the
city
of
Minneapolis
and
builds
people's
long-term
capacity
to
organize
and
improve
their
lives
and
neighborhoods.
The
workgroups
that
help
form
some
of
the
over
original
recommendations,
attended,
equity
training
and
all
the
facilitators
used
throughout
this
process
have
expertise
and
equity.
The
department
recognizes
that
equity
is
not
something
that
can
be
achieved
overnight,
but
is
an
ongoing
process.
B
The
framework
recommendations
being
presented
today
today
reflect
a
developmental
approach
of
education,
training
and
incentivizing
our
neighborhoods
to
build
further
builder
work
in
an
equity
framework,
while
also
looking
at
removing
some
of
the
barriers
to
participation.
I
think
one
of
the
goals
that
everyone
can
agree
on
is
that
neighborhood
boards,
where
decision
power
is
being
held
at
the
very
local
level,
should
reflect
the
diversity
of
their
neighborhood.
B
So
we
held
three
culturally
specific
focus
groups.
We
held
an
online
survey
as
well
and
the
art
of
posting
basically
focusing
on
three
general
questions.
What
are
the
services,
opportunities
and
information?
Should
neighborhood
organizations
provide
what
are
the
characteristics
of
an
effective
neighborhood
organization
and
how
can
neighborhood
organizations
empower
engagement
through
the
art
of
hosting
these
themes
were
generated,
which
were
a
little
bit
more
at
a
higher
level,
but
identified
the
importance
of
neighborhoods
the
need
for
resources
to
do
this
work.
B
The
nce
Sea
Isle,
has
also
been
a
partner
in
this
work.
For
a
number
of
years.
It's
easy
created.
A
subcommittee
called
the
NCC
neighborhoods
2020
committee
subcommittee,
excuse
me,
and
they
identified
these
characteristics,
which
are
on
the
screen
as
core
values
to
this
work
as
well.
They
recognize
the
value
of
collaborating
with
community-based
organizations
that
equity
and
inclusion
is
an
aspirational
goal
and
that
a
keeping
our
place-based
engagement
system
is
important.
B
Last
spring,
in
May,
about
a
year
ago
today,
I
presented
to
the
City
Council
a
summary
of
the
work
that
have
been
completed
to
date
and
really
the
need
to
dive
further
into
four
focus
areas.
One
was
program
and
funding.
One
was
governance,
another
one
another
one
was
the
citywide
engagement
policy
and
the
last
one
was
really
looking
at
the
department
itself
in
CRS
capacity
to
support
any
new
programming
that
would
be
coming
forward.
The
the
City
Council
established
three
work
groups
that
were
really
intended
to
focus
on
recommendations
in
these
particular
areas.
B
Okay,
I
wanted
to
just
also
highlight
on
each
of
these
workgroups.
There
was
representation
from
the
City
Council.
The
mayor
had
representation
as
well.
In
CEC,
had
two
reps
on
each
of
the
of
the
workgroups
policy
board
had
one
on
number
ton.
The
second
workgroup,
which
was
around
governance,
cultural
community
reps,
were
included
each
each
work
group
also
had
five
neighborhood
representatives
on
it,
as
well
as
some
equity
and
undoing
racism
representation
as
well.
B
B
For
five
months,
46
members
of
these
committees
met
to
a
total
of
almost
I
think
it
was
almost
30
times
that
they
had
meetings.
So
first
of
all,
I
just
want
to
say
a
tremendous
thank
you
for
all
the
volunteers
that
committed
their
time
and
effort
on
those
work
groups
to
really
do
the
work
that
they
that
they
had
put
forward
their
recommendations
significantly
informed
the
framework
and
I'll
talk
about
that.
B
There
was
some
differences
that
came
out
of
that
I
do
know
through
the
public
comment
period
that
followed
some
of
the
workgroup
members
expressed
concern
that
the
recommendations
had
changed
or
were
disregarded.
This
is
unfortunate
and
there's
not
an
outcome
that
we
had
intended.
We
try
to
be
very
clear
as
we
go,
engage
the
public
about
their
role.
Pearlie,
we
use,
what's
called
the
International
Association
of
public
participation,
fraim
about
their
role
in
the
engagement
process.
B
In
that
case,
II
Karl
and
myself
both
attended
the
orientation
sessions
to
go
to
meet
with
the
work
group
members
to
inform
them
about,
basically
what
their
role
was,
and
in
this
particular
case,
I
was
on
a
consult
collaborative
level
where
community
members
were
going
to
give
input
to
the
into
the
city,
but
that
the
city
actually
had.
It
could
be
that
the
movie
would
change
the
recommendations
that
they
would
be
bringing
forward.
B
This
was
further
emphasised
in
the
actual
roles
and
expectations
section
of
the
information
that
they
were
giving
and
I
just
wanted
to
read
this
because
I
think
it's
important.
There
may
be
times
when
your
workgroup
recommendations
will
not
prevail
or
be
my
or
may
be
modified
by
the
city.
It
is
important
to
recognize
that
this
is
not
a
rejection
of
the
integrity
of
the
record
of
your
recommendation,
but
is
an
inevitable
part
of
the
process
of
municipal
decision-making,
where
a
variety
of
views,
perspectives
and
recommendations
are
considered.
B
B
We
held
five
of
those
and
again
we
held
three
of
them
in
different
languages.
Over
400
people
attended
those
meetings
alone
to
get
more
feedback
around
the
recommendations
that
were
coming
forward.
I
do
want
to
acknowledge
that
and
that
feeling
that
workgroup
members,
some
of
the
workgroup
members,
had
about
their
recommendations
not
coming
forward.
It
was
not
our
intent
and
we
really
I
think
we
better
messaging
on
that
in
the
future
would
be
would
be
good,
but
I
just
want
to
be
clear
about
that.
Okay
moving
forward!
Well,
the
actual
framework
itself.
B
The
department
released
our
framework
on
February
28th
for
public
comment.
The
department's
recommendations
were
based
on
the
workgroups
I'm
gonna
go
again
not
entirely
and
I'll
go
through
and
explain
a
little
bit.
We
did
diverge
considerably
from
what
workgroup
2
had
recommended,
which
was
a
larger
kind
of
a
multi-way
for
people
to
get
appointed
engagement.
Commission.
We
did
move
away
from
that
recommendation,
but
a
lot
of
the
other
recommendations.
Asians.
We
did
move
forward
prior
to
their
really
prior
to
the
release
of
our
framework.
B
We
had
a
Salvation
and
internal
review
team
of
staff
to
help
us
develop
our
recommendations.
This
group
consisted
of
the
division
of
race
and
equity,
the
I
team
cities
attorney
the
City
Attorney's
Office
arts,
culture
and
creative
economy,
the
city
coordinators,
office,
finance
and
property
services,
as
well
as
our
own
staff.
B
So
now
we
get
into
the
comment
period.
We
open
the
comment
period
for
a
total
of
63
days,
offer
people
multiple
ways
to
comment.
We
wanted
to
try
a
couple
things
different
this
time,
so
we
add
a
text
and
voice
mail
as
a
way
for
people
to
comment
on
it
and
we
offer
those
in
different
languages
as
well.
We
held
five
community
meetings
that
were
sponsored
by
NCR
and
the
department
continued
to
do
outreach
to
communities
that
had
not
typically
participated
or
were
under
represented,
represent
up
or
under
represented
in
a
neighborhood
organization.
B
So
three
of
these
meetings
were
in
different
languages.
We
also
attended
36
meetings
held
by
community
groups
and
neighborhood
organizations
during
the
comment
period,
our
staff
connected
with
over
1,000
people
and
we
received
over
300
what
I
call
unique
comments,
which
means
an
individual
organism
or
an
organization,
had
put
forward
a
comment.
B
So
when
the
comments
came
in,
we
also
did
a
different
process
of
what
we
normally
would
do.
Instead
of
the
department.
Just
looking
at
the
comments
we
had
heard
from
a
number
of
community
members
that
they
were
concerned
that
somehow
the
city
would
filter
these
to
whatever
particular
outcome.
We
were
looking
for
so
we
tried
something
different.
We
actually
did
an
internal
review
process
where
we
hired
a
Lisa
Taylor,
who
is
with
cultural
brokers
and
had
worked
with
the
city
on
the
strategic
racial
equity
action
plan.
We
brought
in
a
couple
NCC
reps.
B
We
brought
in
a
representative
from
philanthropy
our
own
division
of
race
and
equity,
as
well
as
some
NCR
staff
to
review
those
comments.
What
we
heard
from
those
comments
were,
or
that
diversity
and
leadership
matters
strong
buy-in,
and
there
is
strong
buy-in
and
support
to
the
goals
of
inclusion
and
making
sure
that
our
boards
and
our
communities
are
represented
in
neighborhood
organizations.
We
also
heard
that
the
role
of
NCR
and
the
city
needs
to
be
better
defined,
in
that
the
capacity
to
support
neighborhood
organizations
needs
to
be
needs
to
be
there.
B
We
also
heard
that
we
need
to
take
a
progressive
approach
to
supporting
boards
to
become
more
diverse
and
to
get
more
inclusive
and
that
we
had
made
a
mistake
on
the
governance
structure
and
that
we
needed
to
rethink
that
piece
as
well
and
again,
I'll
go
through
that
as
we
go
through
the
actual
recommendations
so
getting
to
the
framework
itself.
So
it's
built
up
to
the
framework
so
framework
itself.
So
what
the
framework
is
the
framework
is
the
general
parameters
for
the
program.
What
it
is
not
is
the
actual
program
guidelines.
B
B
B
The
goals
include
accountability,
transparency,
consistency,
understand,
make
it
understandable,
equitable
collaborative
and
a
source
of
pride
and
belonging
for
communities.
Many
of
our
recommendations
that
are
in
the
framework
are
intended
to
simplify
the
existing
neighborhood
system.
We
believe
the
complexity
is
disengaging
and
limits.
The
ability
for
all
residents
to
fully
participate.
B
Complexity
can
lead
to
power
and
knowledge
imbalances
which
can
limit
a
residents
ability
and
desire
to
participate.
Simplifying
this
work
will
also
in
also
includes
the
work
that
we
at
the
city
are
doing
in
how
we
actually
manage
and
support
these
programs.
We
believe
increasing,
we
believe
increasing
simplicity
can
be
done
while
supporting
neighborhood
autonomy.
A
key
and
valuable
aspect
to
our
existing
neighborhood
system
program
purposes
that
are
included
in
the
document
remain
the
same
as,
what's
currently
in
the
community
participation
program.
B
I
think
those
we
didn't
hear
a
whole
lot
of
feedback
on
that
and
they
seem
to
be
really
consistent
with
what
we're
looking
to
accomplish
with
our
neighborhood
groups.
Having
the
aber
hoods
identify
an
act
on
local
priorities,
be
able
to
address
things
in
their
immediate
area
as
they
see
fit,
influencing
City
decisions
and
having
helping
the
council
to
be
more
informed
about
the
process
and
also
having
the
community
weigh
in
on
City
decisions
as
are
being
made
and
then
also
increasing
involvement
on
the
local
level.
B
So
changes
in
the
document
NCR
supportive
services.
We
are
a
lot
clearer
and
hear
about
our
supportive
services
and
that
neighborhoods
asked
us
to
be
clear
about
what
we're
going
to
do.
We
agree
that
this
is
important
for
neighborhoods,
whereas
tied
to
neighborhood
successes,
the
neighborhoods.
They
are
themselves.
We
talked
to
the
staff
in
the
arts
and
creative
economy.
B
We
also
heard-
and
we
had
planned
on
doing
this,
but
we
also
heard
very
clearly
looking
at
an
internal
review
of
the
department
itself.
This
is
a
new
program
with
very
significant
changes
to
it
and,
as
a
result,
we
need
to
look
at
the
department
about
how
we
basically
align
our
staff
to
support
this
work.
We
still
have
a
lot
of
sobriety.
We
still
have
a
lot
of
enterprise
engagement
needs
as
well
and
really
having
some
outside
and
look
support
to
come
in
and
look
at
our
department
about.
B
Minimum
rubella
requirements
will
follow,
except
the
best
practices
such
as
those
determined
by
the
Minnesota
Council
of
nonprofits,
while
still
allowing
neighborhoods
to
create
their
own
unique
identities
above
these
minimum
standards.
I
just
want
to
be
really
clear
about
this.
This
is
a
set
of
base
about
how
neighborhoods,
with
the
bylaw
requirement
of
by
law,
have
standards,
but
neighborhoods
can
still
build
upon
that
we're
also
looking
at
simplifying
board
elections
so
that
all
residents
of
the
city
can
understand
the
process.
B
Right
now
we
have
70
different
neighborhood
organizations
that
have
many
different
ways
that
people
get
elected
to
the
boards.
We
are
also
looking
at
a
17
board
term
limits
to
provide
access
for
new
leaders
while
balancing
the
need
to
retain
institutional
memory.
One
of
the
things
that's
not
in
the
document,
but
we
did
hear
from
the
public
and
I
just
want
to
assure
people.
It's
we
haven't
lost
this
with
them
at
all.
B
B
We
also
have
the
notion
in
here
neighborhood
day,
which
has
been
somewhat
a
topic
of
a
discussion
as
well,
and
this
is
the
idea
of
having
one
day
a
year
where
all
the
elections
occur
for
all
neighborhoods
the
goal
of
having
one
day
a
year
when
all
seventy
neighborhoods
host
their
elections
to
is
to
create
simplicity
across
the
city
for
all
residents
they
to
get
involved
locally.
In
addition
to
the,
in
addition,
one
Election
Day
allows
NCR
the
Department,
as
well
as
other
city
departments,
to
supports
the
citywide
effort.
We've
talked
to
communications
department.
B
We
talked
to
the
the
City
Clerk's
office
as
well.
In
elections
about
how
we,
as
a
city,
can
partner
with
neighborhoods
to
really
kind
of
elevate
this
day,
so
all
residents
in
the
city
are
aware
that
neighborhood
what
neighborhoods
are
and
what
they're
doing
on
how
to
get
involved
on
the
board
level.
B
So
in
that
with
17
different
neighborhood
organizations,
each
with
differing
different
processes
around
elections
and
nominations,
it's
a
real
barrier
for
under
represented
communities
which
have
not,
which
are
not
geographically
organized
to
participate.
The
notion
of
having
neighborhood
day,
combined
with
the
uniform
election
processes,
would
be
a
huge
step
forward
and
making
it
easier
for
under
represented
communities
as
well
as
residents
to
participate
in
funding.
What
we're
recommending
that
75%
of
the
prime
program
total
go
to
neighborhood
organizations
and
that
25%
go
to
community-based
organizations
has
been
the
theme
throughout
the
engagement
process.
B
On
developing
this
program,
there
needs
to
be
a
role
for
community-based
organizations.
Many
of
these
groups
specialize
in
connecting
with
the
very
underrepresented
communities
which
we
are
trying
to
reach.
Furthermore,
trust
needs
to
be
established
in
order
to
build
further
connections
and
partnerships
funding.
These
groups
will
be
critical
to
support
our
equity
work
and
we
are
proposing
that
the
funding
for
community-based
organizations
be
used
for
two
purposes.
B
One
is
to
be
building
leadership,
that
connect
with
either
the
city
or
neighborhood
organizations
directly
and
second,
one
is
increasing
engagement
within
their
own
communities
within
the
neighborhood
organizations
themselves,
the
75%
that
would
go
to
neighborhood
organizations
I'm,
we
heard
loud
and
clear
not
to
do
the.
We
had
the
18-month
deadline
in
there
about
reaching
board
diversity,
and
we
took
that
out.
B
We
took
that
out,
because
people
were
asking
and
wanting
and
made
a
lot
of
sense
to
actually
do
a
more
progressive
approach
to
supporting
neighborhoods,
to
build
your
over
your
progress
to
attain
more
board
diversity.
So
we've
changed.
We
dropped
the
18
months
piece
as
I
mentioned,
and
now
we're
looking
at
using
funding
as
an
incentive
way
a
sin
of
icing
a
way
to
reach
that
diversity.
The
first
set
of
this
is
50%
allocation.
Is
the
base
funding.
So
that's
basically
a
neighborhood
organizations
that
make
these
changes
in
the
that
adopt.
B
25%
would
be
on
top
of
that,
which
would
be
around
the
notion
of
any
work
that
they're
doing
in
order
to
really
connect
those
intentional
work
doing
around
the
reaching
those
under
representative
communities.
So
knowing
that
it
will
take
these
additional
efforts,
neighborhoods
identified
what
that
is,
and
they
get
that
money.
On
top
of
the
base
money,
year-over-year
activity,
we
would
allocate
that
on
an
annual
basis
and
as
long
as
they're
making
progress
and
getting
that
work
done
and
those
activities
being
completed,
that
money
would
continue
into
the
future.
B
A
C
B
Cunningham
and
how's
the
vice
president
jenkins,
we
haven't
determined
who
that
would
be
yet
it
would
have
to
be
a
to
me.
It
has
to
be
an
outside
third
party
to
come
in
and
really
kind
of,
I
mean
we're
too
close
to
the
work.
It
would
make
more
sense
to
bring
somebody
in
that
has
more
organizational
expertise
where
we
could
lay
out
whatever
you
know
what
we're
trying
to
accomplish.
B
To
you,
I'm
almost
on
governance,
I
want
to
talk
about
governance.
We
had
originally
in
there
in
the
first
framework,
recommended
kind
of
a
really
simple
committee,
engagement,
commission,
kind
of
role.
What
we
heard
loud
and
clear
from
the
public
and
neighborhood
organizations
specifically
was
the
need
to
have
direct
representation
on
an
advisory
board
to
the
City
Council
around
the
neighborhood
work.
B
We,
where
we
are
recommending
in
this
revised
framework
of
elevating
the
existing
NRP
policy
board
by
adding
neighborhood
representatives
directly
chosen
by
neighborhoods.
The
city
has
made
a
major
investment,
as
I
mentioned
before
in
our
neighborhood
organizations,
and
having
an
advisory
board
overseeing
this
work.
B
Specifically,
we
consider
to
be
vital
so
currently
the
NCC
and
the
NRP
Policy
Board,
both
work
on
neighborhoods
and
what
we're
recommending
is
that
all
the
neighbourhood
work
for
the
NRP
program,
whatever
remains
of
the
community
participation
program
and
whatever
the
future
program
is
called,
would
all
rests
within
the
NRP
policy
board.
We
would
also
recommend
that
the
the
election
process
or
the
selection
process
of
the
neighborhood
representatives
for
that
board
be
really
simple
and
easy
for
people
to
understand
again.
B
A
theme
of
a
lot
of
this
work
is
to
really
simplify
the
system,
so
everybody
can
understand
how
it
works.
So
that's
our
recommendation
on
the
policy
board.
We
also
do
still
a
need
see
a
need
for
a
Community
Engagement
commission
that
would
oversee
the
city's
other
engagement
work
as
well.
This
group
would
work
with
the
the
NRP
policy
board
because
obviously
neighborhoods
have
a
significant
role
in
that,
but
the
city
does
a
lot
of
other
work
around
different
policy
developments
that
different
initiatives
that
are
out
there.
B
So
as
I
mentioned
and
I'll
talk
about
in
a
second
is
we're
leaked
and
putting
together
a
citywide
engagement
policy.
This
group
would
really
oversee
that
really
elevating
the
International
Association
of
public
participation
and
principles
within
the
city
work
work
directly
with
departments
around
putting
putting
together
engagement
plans
so
really
kind
of
having
those
two
specific
roles,
and
the
last
topic
I'm
gonna
talk
about
is
the
citywide
engagement
policy
and
I
know.
The
chair
also
has
some
additional
comments
on
this
coming
up,
but
I
wanted
to
talk
about
this
I
know.
B
B
Group
three
has
agreed
to
reconvene
and
we'll
be
carrying
this
work
forward
in
fact,
they're
meeting
tomorrow,
so
that
work
is
starting
right
away
as
well
as
we
have
convened
a
citywide
internal
staff
team
that
would
be
working
on
this
as
well
that
citywide
some
internal
team
includes
representation
from
every
city
department.
So
we
have
everybody
on
board,
so
that
would
be
moving
forward.
B
Moving
forward,
there's
a
number
of
steps
in
here
and
actually
there's
more
detail.
That's
laid
out
in
the
actual
resolution
that
is
before
you
today,
but
basically
we're
looking
forward
or
looking
for
moving.
This
work
forward
today
with
the
notion
of
beginning
to
develop
the
actual
program
guidelines,
which
is
the
next
body
of
work,
we'll
be
working
with
the
community
and
neighborhoods
around
that,
as
well
with
the
idea
reporting
back
by
November
4th
around
the
actual
guidelines.
B
We
would
also
be
looking
at
bringing
back
to
you
by
August
26,
a
restructured
NRP
policy
board,
a
new
Community,
Engagement
commission
and
then
discussions
about
how
we
would
basically
dismantle
the
current
NCC
and
transition
into
the
into
these
tools
and
new
bodies
in
that
time
period.
Also,
the
department
will
do
the
internal
review
and
that
will
be
brought
back
at
the
same
time
that
we
bring
back
the
guidelines
to
the
city
to
the
peace
committee.
A
Thank
you,
mr.
rubadoux.
Before
opening
the
public
comments,
I
will
look
to
my
colleagues
to
see
if
there
are
any
or
comments
based
on
the
presentation,
all
right
not
seeing
any
I
will
then
thank
you
so
much
mr.
rubadoux
or
before
opening
it
up.
I
also
just
want
to
give
a
shout
out
to
everybody
for
being
here
today.
Thank
you
so
much.
This
is
in
the
middle
of
the
day.
So
thank
you
for
taking
your
time
to
be
here
today
to
participate
in
in
this
work,
as
we
have
both
coming
up
to
testify.
A
I
ask
for
you
to
please
direct
your
comments
to
me.
There
might
be
folks
in
the
room
that
you
feel
frustration
with,
but
I
ask
for
you
to
direct
your
comments
to
me
and
not
anybody
else.
Can
we
agree
to
that?
Thank
you.
Folks
just
want
to
make
sure
we
get
it.
C,
community
participation,
right
and
also
I
just
want
to
preemptively
apologize
if
I
butcher
your
name
all
right
so
I.
How
do
you
make
a
motion
to
open
right,
or
you
mean
okay,
all
right,
so
I
hereby
open
the
public
hearing.
A
Feel
inspired,
I
was
listening
to
folks
and
would
like
to
make
your
voice
heard
as
well.
There
is
a
sign-up
sheet
out
in
a
hallway
and
with
that
we'll
go
ahead
and
dive.
In
first
up
we
have
John
Kerry,
followed
by
Jack
strand
and
Nick
I'm,
sorry
Chappell
with
I'm,
sorry
chicka
with
sorry
I
see
it
all
the
times.
I
never
had
to
say
it
out
loud
all
right.
The
floor
is
yours.
Mr.
E
E
Our
neighborhood
has
also,
but
the
complexion
and
position
of
the
neighborhood
board
has
not
and
the
types
of
recommendations,
tools
and
incentives
that
are
contained
in
this
recommendation
I
strongly
support,
because
it
will
give
us
the
necessary
ways
to
include
people
who
have
traditionally
not
been
active
in
our
neighborhood,
and
that
would
be
students
from
the
university
people
of
color
and
renters.
At
this
point
in
time.
E
A
F
Afternoon,
Jeffrey
strand
5,100,
Thomas,
Avenue,
North,
Minneapolis,
Ward
4.
Thank
you
to
the
Peace
Committee
and
chair
Cunningham
for
the
opportunity
to
address
the
committee
and
thank
you
for
your
openness
to
consider
potential
changes
in
the
process
I'm
speaking
today
to
join
with
the
voices
of
many
other
Minneapolis
residents
and
strong
supporters
of
the
great
work
of
neighbourhood
organizations
in
our
city
to
express
concerns
about
content
and
process
for
the
latest
and
prior
iterations
of
the
NCR
departments.
F
Neighborhood
2020
framework
I
speak
from
the
perspective
of
someone
who
was
elected
to
the
original
NRP
Policy
Board,
who
was
the
first
non
elected
official
of
the
reconstituted
policy
board
and
also
a
founding
member
of
the
NCC
after
the
community
engagement
task
force
recommended
yet
I
also
served
on
the
workgroup
to
and
serve
on
the
NCC.
Currently,
those
groups
both
submitted
written
comments
and
recommendations
concerning
funding
guidelines,
governance,
citywide
engagement
for
the
record.
F
The
NCC
began
the
forward-thinking
work
on
neighbor,
it's
20
in
march/april
2015
with
the
foresight
and
intention
to
complete
multiple
tasks
in
its
work
plan
throughout
this
process.
What
I've
observed
is
that
the
funnel
has
narrowed
so
going
from
the
heart
of
hosting,
with
842
comments,
600
participants,
we
suddenly
were
in
the
midst
of
the
roadmap
and
then
a
workgroup
of
49
residents,
and
then
we
went
to
the
comment
review
group
that
had
to
residents
three
staff,
a
paid
consultant
and
undefined
number
of
city
staff.
F
So
I
support
the
program
purposes,
but
you
can't
dress
up
a
flawed
proposal.
I
cannot
support
the
recommendations
that
will
have
a
25%
cut
in
neighborhood
organizations.
I
would
call
for
increased
funding
to
both
neighborhoods
and
community
cultural
based
groups.
I
will
I'm
calling
for
the
City
Council
Mayor
to
support
a
transformative
process,
but
as
for
a
short
delay,
not
to
exceed
six
months
with
a
independent,
fair
and
impartial
third
party,
such
as
University
of
Minnesota
Kira,
to
complete
this
process
in
a
way
consistent
with
the
IEP
two
principles
that
the
City
Council
has
adopted.
G
You,
chair
Cunningham
and
committee
members,
I
am
the
current
chair
of
the
Minneapolis
neighborhood
community
engagement,
Commission
and
Commissioner
Tran
laid
out
the
overall
history,
which
was
also
part
of
what
I
wanted
to
say
so
I'm
gonna
feed
off
of
kind
of
what
Commissioner
strand
shared
the
NCC
has
spent
since
2015
many
hours.
Working
on
this
specific
topic,
we've
brought
in
individuals
from
across
the
country
through
Skype
to
talk
to
individuals
in
Seattle.
We've
talked
to
individuals
at
that
far
away
place
called
st.
G
Paul
Minnesota
to
learn
about
how
they
handle
neighborhoods
so
that
we
could
put
together
a
process
and
a
recommendation
that
made
sense.
The
NCC
supports
the
statements
of
the
North
Side
neighborhoods
Council,
and
call
for
a
short
delay.
I
know
that
there'll
be
an
update.
What
happens
next
I've
seen
a
staff
directive
based
upon
the
NCC's
recommendations
for
a
delay
for
a
deeper
dive
into
funding
questions.
The
staff
directive
seems
to
fit
with
where
our
recommendation
comes
from.
G
The
NCC
is
looking
for
support
for
a
multi-year
funding
structure
that
allows
neighborhoods
to
complete
their
work
and
not
have
to
worry
year-to-year
I've
had
some
individuals
in
my
neighborhood
I
currently
live
in
the
Bryn
Mawr
neighborhood
asked.
Why
do
we
want
to
delay
what
new
ideas
will
come
forward?
What
new
ideas
will
come
out?
G
We
don't
want
to
start
over
again.
What
we
would
like
is
a
delay
so
that
the
parties
who
feel
like
they
haven't
been
heard,
and
that
also
includes
individuals
who
think
neighborhoods
need
a
lot
of
work.
I've
said
since
my
time
on
the
NCC
that
those
that
find
barriers
to
neighborhoods
also
need
to
be
part
of
this
process.
Thank
you
again
for
allowing
us
to
speak
today.
Thank.
H
H
Was
a
work
group
too,
and
we
spent
six
months.
We
also
spent
some
time
before
that,
in
terms
of
the
larger
group
said
that
met
and
gave
feedback
before
before
we
got
inspired
some
workgroups.
So
there's
been
a
lot
of
work
done
and
it's
been
obviously
a
lot
of
information
here.
However,
and
actually
it's
getting
better,
but
it
still
needs
still
needs
more
more
work
to
be
where
it
ought
to
be
to
have
something:
that's
really
sustainable
and
robust
for
the
city.
We
agree.
I
Good
afternoon,
council
members,
my
name
is
Kim
Forbes
I'm,
the
board
president
of
Elliot
neighborhood
I've,
had
the
privilege
to
volunteer
with
the
Elliott
Park
neighborhood
for
almost
20
years
now,
during
those
years,
I
have
seen
the
organization
transition
from
a
Community
Development
Corporation
to
a
community
engagement
organization,
as
funding
and
priorities
from
the
city
have
changed
today,
we
are
focused
on
building
community
vitality
by
empowering
and
connecting
neighbors
to
take
action
on
issues
that
matter
most.
Our
organization
is
beginning
another
transition,
as
we
move
away
from
NRP
funding
towards
operating
on
CPP
funds.
I
I
am
confident
that
our
passionate
and
dedicated
community
leaders
can
figure
out
this
next
phase
of
our
organization.
However,
we
need
support
in
finding
a
way
to
transition
from
an
organization
reliant
on
city
funding
to
a
sustainably
built
nonprofit
with
diversified
funding.
We
need
support
to
continue
employing
top-notch
staff
that
can
be
fundraisers
managers,
organizers
and
administrators.
The
neighborhoods
2020
document
does
not
provide
that
needed
support.
Instead,
it
outlines
a
framework
that
regulates
neighborhood
work
without
truly
understanding
what
we
need
in
order
to
be
successful.
I
If
we
continue
to
fund
our
neighborhoods
poorly
while
increasing
expectations
at
the
same
time,
we
are
setting
neighborhoods
up
for
failure
together
with
the
entire
EPI
boards,
the
Northside
neighborhood
Council
and
others
I.
Ask
that
you
delay
consideration
of
the
neighborhoods
2020
document
in
order
to
address
the
gaps
and
expectations
and
communications
between
the
city
and
neighborhood
organizations
and
then
collectively
develop
a
plan
that
will
set
neighborhoods
up
for
success.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
your
time.
A
A
J
Karina
Boulder,
okay,
hello,
everyone
good
afternoon,
a
lot
of
councilmembers.
My
name
is
Karina
bowler
and
I've
lived
in
Elliot
Park
neighborhood,
since
1997
I
first
contacted
my
neighborhood
association
with
my
neighbors,
and
we
become
troubled
by
what's
happening
on
it.
When
it,
we
have
issues
from
repairs,
passport
management
and
I
reached
out
to
our
EPA,
my
neighborhood,
and
they
were
very
helpful
and
they
jump
right
in.
J
They
have
supported
our
tenants,
association
and
dumping
repairs
negotiating
with
our
rehab
invitation
of
our
building
and
building
community.
They
have
helped
us
through
our
meetings,
building
owners
with
our
ownership.
They
have
provided
us
with
backpacks
school
supplies
for
52,
kids
and
our
buildings.
Neighborhood
Association
is
a
really
great
work
with
our
community
and
they
need
to
be
funded.
J
They
need
to
be
funded.
I
want
to
go
on
too
much,
but
I.
Think
neighborhood
associations
do
a
lot
of
work
and
I
see
it.
Do
it
I
see
the
work,
I
see
the
work
that
goes
into
it
and
it's
a
lot
of
great
people
in
this
room
and
neighborhood
associations
need
to
be
funded.
Hashtag
I,
don't
wanna
hold
on
one
more
time,
but
neighborhood
associations
missing
need
to
be
funded.
Okay,
that
time
that
work
that.
K
The
slight
mix-up
over
the
Richards,
my
name,
is
Vince
Nets,
Richard
and
I
have
swapped.
With
this
current
permission
of
the
clerk
good
afternoon,
my
name
is
Vincent
nets;
I'm
the
immediate
past,
president
of
Prospect,
Park
Association,
twenty
two,
eight
two,
eight
university
of
new
south
east
and
I'm,
also
representing
my
three
predecessors,
christina
larson,
dick
papa,
leo
steep
banks.
We
serve
during
the
most
recent
fifteen
years
of
historic
change
in
our
community,
including
construction
of
Bank,
Stadium,
light
rail
and
the
2040
comprehensive
plan.
K
Based
on
our
long
experience,
we
strongly
support
the
neighborhoods
2020
recommendations.
I
draw
your
attention
to
our
letter,
which
provides
the
specifics.
Minneapolis
neighbors
are
vibrant,
complex
and
rapidly
changing
the
organization's.
Officially
designated
to
represent
them
must
also
change.
Since
most
are
small,
fragile,
nonprofits
almost
entirely
dependent
on
volunteers.
They
need
your
help
and
help
starts
at
the
top.
With
few
exceptions,
my
neighborhood
organization
board
is
entirely
dominated
by
long
term
homeowners.
K
This
may
have
made
sense
thirty
years
ago
it
doesn't
anymore.
Our
neighborhood
is
nine
thousand
residents.
Eighty
percent
people,
eighty
percent
renters
thirty
percent
people
of
color,
the
degree
to
which
neighbor
organizations
function
essentially
as
homeowners
associations
is
the
degree
to
which
they
fail
to
serve
the
community.
K
This
is
the
redlining
map
of
1935
made
prominent
in
the
PBS
special
about
Jim
Crow
of
the
north,
and
these
are
the
two
overlaid
with
one
exception.
This
is
what
privilege
looks
like,
and
it's
very
hard
to
change.
We've
spent
many
hundreds
of
hours
trying
to
change
it
when
you
hear
calls
for
delay
or
limits
to
20/20.
You
are
hearing
a
call
to
the
status
quo.
K
A
L
Cunningham,
council
members,
thank
you
so
much
for
making
taking
my
input
here
today
and
being
available
for
this
feedback.
Not
much
I
can
add
to
what's
been
said
before.
I
strongly
support
the
neighborhoods
2020
proposal,
for
the
reasons
outlined
over
the
I've,
been
in
the
neighborhood
have
been
a
homeowner
in
Prospect
Park
for
35
years,
I've
been
very
actively
involved
in
the
neighborhood
group
for
about
20
years.
During
this
time,
I've
seen
virtually
no
change
in
the
makeup
of
the
board
and
the
people
who
make
the
decisions.
L
The
neighborhood
when
I
started,
was
justifiably
the
historic
core
of
the
neighborhood
and
even
though
the
neighborhood
itself
has
changed
dramatically
over
the
past
15
years,
the
mentality
that
the
neighborhood
remains,
the
historic
core
has
not
changed
at
all
I
to
caution
you
about
calls
for
delay.
I
have
been
listening
to
debates
about
inclusion
for
the
entire
time
that
I've
been
involved
and,
at
some
point
debate
becomes
the
enemy
of
the
action
and
I
think
that
the
proposal
here
that
has
been
presented
addresses
a
it's
a
solid
framework
from
which
to
operate
going
forward.
L
A
M
But
no
one
came
out
to
ask
us
how
it's
done.
No
one
asked
her
brilliant
executive
director
with
a
thirteen
year
tenure
how
she
does
this
so
well,
no
one
at
the
meeting
we
had
with
the
community
in
which
both
council
members,
Gordon
and
Johnson
were
present,
as
well
as
mr.
Rubin
door.
Mr.
rubadoux
said:
you're
Loren
feller.
You
have
nothing
to
worry
about.
Yes,
we
all
do
all
that
well
and
at
that
well
attended
meeting.
M
Only
one
person
stood
in
support
of
this
plan,
the
rest
of
the
crowd
loudly
and
strongly
opposed
aside
from
objections
on
key
issues.
The
loudest
objections
words
of
the
haste.
Secondly,
was
funding.
Multiple
community
members
asked
for
delays
to
give
this
neighborhood
the
neighborhood's
time
to
collaborate
with
the
city
and,
in
particular,
NCR.
When
the
question
of
funding
came
up,
we
learned
that
this
wasn't
considered
in
this
plan
funding.
M
After
that
meeting,
it
was
determined
by
Andrew
that
the
funding
source
was
not
identified,
but
would
late
be
later
in
later
drafts
and
has
not
been
mentioned.
Yet
what
we
did
learn
is
the
TIF
district
is
will
not
expire
until
December
31st
of
2020,
so
dedicated
funding
from
this
source
will
continue
until
fiscal
year
2021.
M
Why
is
NCR?
Rushing
this
allowed
the
neighborhoods
time
to
work
at
this.
At
this
point
there
is
a
little
confidence
in
NCR,
allow
a
third
party
to
step
in
and
help
and
allow
us
adequate
time
and
look
to
those
neighborhoods
that
are
successful.
Shirley
LCC
is
not
the
only
one.
Why
wipe
the
slate
clean
when
you
know
there
are
successful,
neighborhood
organizations
out
there
instead
of
destruction,
perhaps
study
success.
Thank
you
for
considering
delay.
A
N
Afternoon,
my
name
is
Beverly
Connerton
and
I
also
live
in
the
Longfellow.
Neighborhood
I've
lived
there
for
20
years,
I've
just
been
elected
to
the
LCC
board.
It's
not
my
first
go-around
I
was
on
the
LCC
bird
for
about
five
years
during
the
active
involve
implementation
of
the
NRP
program.
I
was
also
a
representative
for
two
years
on
the
NRP
policy
board
when
neighborhood
representation
on
that
board
was
built
into
the
structure.
N
These
experiences
have
provided
a
valuable
opportunity
to
see
neighborhood
organizations
and
the
value
that
neighborhood
organizations
bring
to
residents
of
the
neighborhood
and
to
the
city
as
a
whole.
Minneapolis
really
does
have
a
unique
and
long-standing
community
organization
system.
That's
really
designed
to
address
problems
and
issues
that
are
unique
to
each
neighborhood
and
reflect
the
differences
in
the
neighborhoods.
We
really
are
the
envy
of
other
parts
of
the
country
who
do
not
have
this
unique
organizational
system,
neighborhood
organization
system
that
provides
such
a
value
to
citizens
and
a
value
overall
to
the
city.
N
We
are,
however,
at
a
critical
time
at
this
juncture,
moving
from
an
NRP
framework
that
is
well
funded
to
a
different
framework
and
a
different
funding
structure
for
citizen
engagement
into
the
future.
It's
important
that
we
get
it
right
and
not
rush
to
major
change
without
neighborhood
organizations
having
a
full
involvement
to
help
develop
the
framework
that
they
will
be
implementing
the
framework,
as
drafted
now,
is
way
too
prescriptive.
N
It
doesn't
reflect
the
uniqueness
of
neighborhoods
and
the
ability
and
experience
that
neighborhoods
have
brought
to
community
organize
a
organizing
in
this
city
and
it
lacks
and
organized
the
input
from
neighborhood
organizations.
The
framework
has
very
little
discussion
of
funding
and
have
said
this
as
well.
We
are
asking
that
you
delay
adoption
of
the
framework
to
allow
discussion
of
how
the
framework
can
be
a
revised
set.
Both
the
city
and
the
neighborhood
organizations
can
go
forward
to
create
a
strong
and
supportive
framework
for
the
future.
N
N
O
O
O
A
P
Good
afternoon
my
name
is
Karen
Peterson,
it's
quite
all.
Right,
I
have
a
215,
Broadway,
Street,
northeast
and
I,
wanted
to
start
by
saying
I
serve
on
the
Sheridan
neighborhood
board,
I
regularly
attend
st.
Anthony,
West,
neighborhood
or
organization
meetings
on
the
Broadway
Street
task
force.
I
also
happen
to
a
have
served
on
workgroup,
three,
which
I
should
say:
I
serve
on
workgroup.
Three
and
I
am
also
a
renter
and
a
renter
with
deep
concerns
about
the
process
and
the
product
that
we
have
here
before
us.
P
We
want
to
thank
you,
Turk
Cunningham,
for
taking
the
time
council
members
for
listening
to
us.
If
I
could
start
just
by
reading
a
little
briefing
from
the
framework
it
says,
city
decision-making
is
improved
when
we
involve
those
affected
by
these
decisions
through
partnering
with
neighborhood
organizations.
The
city
of
Minneapolis
can
better
reach
and
be
informed
by
that
people
are
affected
by
these
decisions
and
then
the
framework
turns
around
and
strip
away
all
the
power
sharing
and
the
coordination
between
them.
P
The
health.
Sir.
By
saying
that,
in
the
comment
period,
a
lot
of
people
commented
that
we
need
more
neighborhood
specialists
to
have
one
person
trying
to
coordinate
for
14,
plus
neighbourhoods
is
simply
asking
too
much
of
one
person
and
really
in
pics
that
ability
to
provide
services
that
you
need.
At
the
same,
my
time,
I
want
to
give
a
shout
out
to
our
neighborhood
specialists,
who
happens
to
be
a
rockstar
Stacy
Sorenson
I,
don't
know
how
she
does
what
she
does.
I
honestly
do
not
so
what?
P
But,
when
the
the
recommendation
was
for
neighborhood
specialists,
but
what's
being
proposed
instead,
they're
gonna
hire
more
people
in
the
legal
department
further
on
the
NBN
CEC.
The
first
thing
that
the
neighbor
that
this
part
of
this
process
does
is
strip
the
end
out
you
taking
the
neighborhood
out
of
the
CC
and
instead
of
neighborhoods
bringing
forth
their
own
appointees,
everything
will
be
appointed
by
the
city.
P
Q
Much
chair,
cunningham
and
council
members,
my
name
is
Dan
Collison
renter
that
lives
in
Ward
13
and
the

Street
and
senior
pastor;
first
covenant
church
in
Elliott
Park
at
the
same
address,
speaking
as
a
pastor
for
10
years
in
Elliott
Park.
First,
the
staff
leadership
of
EEP
and
I
have
been
critically
important
for
the
advancement
of
consistent
community
engagement
and
community
good
in
our
neighborhood.
When
I
arrived
in
2009,
the
church
building
was
empty
most
days
of
the
week
and
almost
bankrupt
today.
Q
Speaking
as
the
executive
director
for
the
East
business
partnership,
our
organization
is
celebrating
its
40th
year
of
service
to
the
community,
has
nearly
80
member
companies
with
reach
too
close
to
400
companies
representing
nearly
20,000
employees
in
the
Elliott
Park
in
downtown
these
neighborhoods
and
as
a
Business
Association.
We
share
ep
and
I
and
deaminase
concerns
that
the
current
plan
does
not
adequately
address
the
proposed
shift
away
from
a
city
driven
oversight
system
for
neighborhood
initiatives
to
be
more
tightly
controlled,
set
of
neighborhood
imperative.
So
we
are
not
in
support
of
the
current
proposal.
Q
We
would
support
it
delay
and
a
more
thoughtful
process.
We
acknowledge
organizations
need
to
be
efficiently
monitored
and
become
more
inclusive
and
driven
by
the
goals
that
benefit
us
all
as
a
city,
and
we
believe
that
neighborhoods
are
the
lifeblood
of
the
city,
but
the
plan
as
it
exists
today
today
does
not
achieve
that.
Well,
we'll
get
there.
We
believe
it'll
get
there
with
some
time.
Q
S
S
My
impression
talking
with
people
from
across
the
city
is
that
this
is
not
unique
to
my
neighborhood.
The
recommendations
for
it
today
will
not
let
people
solving
all
the
issues
that
are
faced
by
neighborhood
associations
will
make
strides
to
help
address
them.
In
particular,
I
support
having
a
diversity
action
plan,
B
requirement
for
funding
additional
City
support
for
engagement
activities,
directed
towards
underrepresented
communities,
minimum
bylaw
requirements,
citywide
election
days
and
dedicated
funding
for
community
organizations.
I
hope
you
support
this
plan.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
Thank
you.
A
T
Hello,
my
name
is
Elizabeth
Brophy
I've
been
a
board
member
for
the
Nokomis
East
neighborhood
association
or
Nena
for
a
little
over
two
years
now,
in
my
experience,
neighborhood
associations
perform
many
valuable
surfaces
for
the
neighborhoods
they
represent,
but
I
think
the
most
important
thing
neighborhood
associations,
it's
their
ability
to
identify
issues
in
their
community
and
quickly
move
to
address
them
in
ways
that
would
be
impractical
or
outright
infeasible
for
the
city.
I
have
a
couple
of
examples
of
this
boots-on-the-ground
advantage
and
the
tangible
benefits
has
had
on
people's
lives.
T
First
in
2017,
ice
raids
were
happening
all
over
the
city,
including
a
nekoma,
sees
the
fear
and
in
a
certainty
that
affected
many
people.
In
my
neighborhood
in
a
matter
of
days,
nina
was
able
to
put
together
a
community
meeting
within
an
immigration
lawyer
and
other
community
organizers.
We
made
sure
that
all
those
with
concerns
fully
knew
their
rights
and
help
them
make
action
plans
to
help
lessen
the
strain
their
families
were
feeling.
T
This
was
only
possible
because
of
all
the
work
that
the
staff
at
Nina
had
already
put
in
building
trust
within
the
community
and
through
outreach
and
advocacy
and
2018
community
members
told
Nina
that
getting
access
to
affordable
price,
fresh
produce
and
other
healthy
foods
was
a
constant
struggle
in
the
area.
We
looked
into
issues
into
the
issue
and
possible
solutions
and,
in
short
order,
arranged
to
bring
the
Metro
mobile
market
in
twice
a
month.
Well,
it
doesn't
fully
address
the
ongoing
issue.
T
It
was
able
to
quickly
provide
some
relief
for
members
of
my
community
facing
this
problem
and
make
an
improvement
in
their
quality
of
life.
This
work
was
recently
recognized
by
the
city
and
our
staff
was
honored
by
the
by
being
named
one
of
twenty
nineteen
s
health
heroes.
These
are
just
two
instances
of
the
many
many
ways
neighborhood
associations
are
able
to
sturb
your
constituents
and
build
Minneapolis
people
want
to
live
in
I
hope.
You
will
vote
to
continue
supporting
this
work.
U
U
Afternoon
my
name
is
Marlo
Sanderson
and
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
speak
to
you
today.
I
would
like
to
discuss
the
importance
around
neighborhood
organization,
the
Elliot
Park
neighborhood
Inc
EPN
I.
For
the
past
seven
and
a
half
years,
my
rental
apartment
has
been
in
the
Elliot
Park
neighborhood
I
became
involved
with
EPN
I.
After
my
attempts
to
work
with
the
city
to
address
two
major
problems
in
our
community:
very
dangerous
streets
and
the
need
for
updates
and
our
extremely
active
neighborhood
Park
were
unsuccessful.
U
Trying
to
navigate
to
city
departments
resulted
in
little
or
no
action
being
taken.
I
needed
another
avenue
to
adjust
these
issues
with
the
incredible
support
and
many
hours
of
hard
work
by
Elliot
Park
neighborhood
Inc,
including
executive
director
with
Vanessa
Haig
and
committee
organizer
Jordan
Martin
Monroe,
a
plan
of
action
was
developed.
Our
went
organization
efforts
were
assaulted
in
obtaining
the
attention
of
both
the
city
and
the
park
board,
and
we
are
now
seeing
action
on
addressing
two
serious
neighborhood
concerns.
U
U
V
You,
chair
Cunningham
and
council
members
for
the
opportunity
to
address
you
today.
My
name
is
Vanessa
hate
and
I'm
resident
of
the
Minnehaha
neighborhood,
an
executive
director
of
Elliott
Park,
neighborhood
Inc
I
am
also
a
participant
of
workgroup
three,
the
citywide
community
engagement
policy.
This
is
an
incredibly
important
moment
in
the
history
of
Minneapolis
neighborhood
organizations.
We
have
the
opportunity
to
be
innovative
and
develop
a
framework
that
truly
supports
our
neighborhoods
and
being
more
inclusive,
vibrant
and
effective.
Neighborhood
organizations
are
doing
great
work,
great
work
that
the
city
has
no
capacity
or
ability
to
do.
V
For
example,
neighborhood
organizations
are
leading
grassroots
initiatives
in
economic
development
and
tenant
rights
and
access
to
healthy
food
and
more
what
we
need
a
support
to
do
this
work
not
increase
regulation
and
oversight.
There
are
already
several
tools
in
place
to
hold
neighborhoods
accountable,
but
they
are
not
being
utilized.
We
all
want
to
do
better
in
terms
of
equity,
diversity
and
inclusion.
The
city
has
worked
to
do
on
these
values
and
so
do
neighborhoods.
V
Instead
of
recognizing
this
work
and
trying
to
better
understand
how
to
support
neighborhoods
in
meeting
goals
around
accountability,
transparency
and
equity,
we
are
looking
at
a
framework
that
will
make
it
harder
for
neighborhoods
to
be
effective.
Overall,
more
resources
will
be
spent
on
administrative
time
at
both
neighborhoods
and
at
the
city,
and
less
time
will
be
available
for
working
with
the
community.
I
also
want
to
mention
my
disappointment
in
the
community
engagement
process.
V
Around
neighborhoods
2020
I
have
spent
so
many
hours
following
the
different
iterations
of
engagement
and
on
workgroup
three
only
to
feel
like
that
work
was
tossed
aside
for
a
predetermined
plan.
The
latest
version
of
this
framework
was
released
only
days
before
this
public
hearing,
with
no
time
for
the
community
to
review
it
I
ask
that
you
delay
this
framework
and
provide
an
opportunity
for
a
trusted
third
party,
such
as
Kira,
to
bring
the
community
together
to
develop
an
innovative
framework
that
supports
neighborhoods
and
becoming
more
inclusive,
vibrant
and
effective.
Thank
You.
W
W
I
went
on
prior
and
there's
things
that
we
want
to
do
as
a
community
and
as
a
person
who
lived
in
this
community
for
over
a
year,
I
want
to
get
involved
and
I
did
I've
lived
in
Minneapolis
all
my
life
I
know
how
important
these
organizations
are
and
I
want
to
see.
My
community
in
particular
I,
want
to
see
the
children
use
be
represented.
I
want
to
see
our
seniors
represented
in
right
now,
even
though
I
might
not
have
all
the
statistics
explain
things
that
are
going
on.
W
X
Y
Afternoon,
I'm
David
Moseman
I
speak
to
you
wearing
two
hats.
Hopefully,
first
I
represent
Marci
who's,
a
Neighborhood,
Association
and
then
I'll
speak
with
some
personal
comments
as
well.
Marci
Holmes
submitted
comments
on
the
prior
version.
The
revised
version
came
out
in
not
a
timely
manner
to
this
hearing.
We
have
not
had
time
to
review
them
in
detail
with
us
wish
for
you
to
delay
action
on
this
thing
until
we
can
submit
review
it
and
submit
our
comments.
Y
Neighborhood
associations
are
about
creating
neighborhoods
and
community
community
requires
relationships.
Relationships
require
time.
This
process
of
2020
the
threat
to
our
survival
and
our
economic
viability
brings
us
together
to
understand
and
share.
We
need
the
time
to
look
at
it,
to
review
it
and
to
share
and
build
our
own
community
within
the
board
and
within
the
greater
community.
Y
As
a
member
of
the
community,
I
am
a
little
odd
I
used
to
drive.
I
no
longer
draw.
Do
I,
as
I
go
around
I
live
in
Marcy
homes
because
of
the
mass
transit
I've
lived
there
for
almost
10
years
now
and
as
I
ride.
The
mass
transit
I
realized
that
the
parking
issue
is
not
the
primary
issue.
The
issue
is
that
we
don't
see
each
other,
we
don't
use
them
as
transit.
The
people
on
the
bus
are
not
the
people
on
the
board
you're
right,
but
we
need
to
figure
out
better
ways.
Y
I
live
in
a
condominium
I
own.
My
condominium
I
am
NOT
a
renter.
Yet
my
neighbors
can't
access
me
because
we're
in
a
LOC
community
I
have
neighbors
who
are
renters.
You
need
a
new
metric,
not
renters
versus
homeowners,
but
single
families,
persons
multi-family,
so
Marcy
Holmes
is
rapidly
developing.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
Z
I'm
Dennis
Fazio
I'm,
the
treasurer
of
the
Bryn
Mawr
Neighborhood
Association
I've,
been
involved
in
nonprofit
organizations
and
the
creation,
governance
and
management
for
a
couple
of
decades
or
more,
but
I'd
like
to
address
here
some
of
the
diversity
not
reach
requirement.
Details
of
the
recommendations.
Bryn
Mawr
strongly
supports
the
majority
of
this
proposal
and
the
inclusion
and
goals
of
inclusion
and
diversity
of
leadership
and
participation,
but
some
requirements
may
be
counterproductive.
Z
There's
often
a
temptation
for
governmental
bodies
to
micromanage
the
how
often
to
the
detriment
of
the.
What
in
this
case,
focusing
on
specific
solutions
like
board
profiles
and
meeting
counts
and
more
the
only
place
for
leadership.
Opportunity
may
not
be
the
best
approach
when
rewards
are
involved.
Individuals
and
teams
will
focus
on
what
is
measured.
Z
If
you
reward
head,
counts
and
meeting
counts,
you'll
get
those,
but
you
won't
necessarily
be
accomplishing
your
real
goals
in
the
meaningful
way
you
do
have
requirements
for
annual
diversity
and
outreach
plans
that
can
be
tailored
to
each
neighborhoods
character
and
needs.
You
can
set
quantifiable
measures
in
those
plans
specific
to
that
neighborhood,
allowing
the
goals
of
inclusion
at
pancit
to
be
met
in
a
variety
of
ways.
If
there
are
outliers
lusion
Airy
neighborhoods
deal
with
them
with
focused
plans,
rather
than
imposing
limitations
on
all
the
other
struggling
boards.
A
AA
I've
been
in
this
community,
which
is
quite
a
while
first
of
all,
a
lot
of
the
minorities
do
not
get
noticed
whether
they
want
to
or
not
that's
another
thing
seeming,
as
I've
been
to
a
lot
of
the
meetings,
public
housing
meetings
as
well
as
community
meetings
and
so
on
and
so
forth,
where
there
is
no
mexican
representation
or
there
is
no
somali
representation,
but
there's
plenty
of,
shall
we
say
black
or
caucasian
or
any
other
race,
and
we
need
to
come
together.
Our
big
thing
in
the
communities
is
not
okay.
AA
I
don't
like
you
because
you
got
a
wrong
color.
No,
we
need
to
get
together
with
that
person.
We
need
to
talk
to
everybody.
We
need
to
find
out
what
everybody
needs.
That's
the
main
thing
that
the
LORD
thy
God
mentioned
when
he
put
us
on
this
earth
is
to
get
along
and
to
do
what
we
must
do
and
that's
basically
what
I
want
to
say.
Thank
you
very
much.
AA
AB
Chair
Cunningham,
hello,
councilmembers,
my
name
is
Cory
Wynne
and
I'm,
a
renter
at
Ward
8
and
a
staff
member
at
Powderhorn
neighborhood.
The
next
three
statements
that
you'll
hear
framed
Powderhorn
neighborhoods
concerns
for
the
neighborhood
system
and
from
our
experiences
and
struggles
to
serve
and
connect.
AB
Powderhorn
the
city
community
and
existing
neighborhoods
have
already
invested
so
much
time
and
energy
into
our
neighborhood
system
into
our
grass
work
ecosystem
to
support
civic
engagement
and
our
P
and
CPP
have
CPP
has
spent
over
three
hundred
and
sixty
million
dollars
already
not
including
the
sweat
volunteer
hours
and
emotional
Labor's
from
the
people
in
this
room.
Well,
the
investment
is
clear
when
layering
reality
is
and
will
continue
to
be,
the
variety
of
ways
that
each
neighborhood
organization
is
operated,
since
they
are
independent,
501,
C,
3s
and
every
neighborhood
has
different
needs.
AB
Some
orgs
don't
have
enough
funding
to
hire
more
than
one
staff
or
staff
at
all.
Many
rely
on
volunteer
hours
to
operate
on
the
day-to-day.
With
these
differences,
the
current
framework
misses
the
chance
to
account
for
these
inherent
differences
and
to
create
goals
that
are
also
variable
rather
than
one
size
fits
all.
If
I
was
to
go
off
of
what
the
coroner
was
saying
about
having
a
hashtag,
it
would
be
hashtag
no
unfunded
mandates.
AC
The
current
framework
places
emphasis
on
expectations
and
qualifications
for
funding
without
regard
for
an
organization's
overall
budget
and
staff.
That's
needed
to
execute
those
expectations
and
requirements.
The
city's
stated
expectations
for
neighborhood
organizations
are
to
identify
and
act
on
neighborhood
priorities,
influenced
City
decisions
on
policies,
programs
and
services,
and
increase
involvement
in
civic
and
community
life.
It's
crucial
that
an
organization's
budget
staff
and
health
are
considered
when
making
framework
that
can
drive
those
outcomes.
Thank
You.
A
AD
Cunningham
vice-chair
Gordon,
who
has
stepped
out
of
the
room
and
the
rest
of
the
president
council
members,
I'm
gonna
go
off
script,
just
a
little
bit
because
I
don't
want
to
forget
to
say
this
because
I've
been
inspired
by
some
of
the
comments
that
have
been
made
today.
I
just
want
to
encourage
you.
Whatever
voting
cast
it,
it's
not
a
binary
decision,
those
that
are
asking
for
delay.
It
has
nothing
to
do
with
the
idea
that
we
are
not
for
inclusivity
and
diversity
in
our
communities.
AD
AD
In
rpm
CPP
program
that
the
city
has
been
investing
in
over
the
past,
several
decades
has
been
a
material
and
valuable
source
of
support
to
piƱas
ability
to
advance
its
emission
lanes.
However,
other
contributed
and
earned
income
sources
that
we
have
been
able
to
secure
is
what
allows
PPA
to
operate
as
a
fully
functioning
holistic,
small
but
mighty
organization.
We
asked
the
Peace
Committee
not
to
pass
the
NCR
departments,
current
neighborhood
2020
framework,
but
slowly
advanced
the
council's
directive
for
the
staff
to
undertake
that
has
been
stated
in
the
document.
AD
The
city
will
benefit
mightily
from
a
new
framework
that
does
more
than
state
when
an
organization
should
do
to
qualify
for
program
funding
but
provide
peace
committee
members
with
a
framework
that
facilitates
and
embraces
a
range
of
engagement
and
practices.
We
also
need
a
framework
that
deals
squarely
with
organizational
capacity
and
health,
maintaining
a
framework
with
underlying
rules
that
can
be
best,
if
not
only
achieved
with
healthy
organizations
and
then
not
know.
AD
A
If
I
can
take
a
quick
second
to
insert
just
really
quick
I
just
want
to
reflect
back
that
what
I'm
hearing
while
it
may
be
a
differing
differing
opinions
that
overall,
the
underlying
values
of
better
stronger
and
better
supported
neighborhood
associations
is
what
I'm
hearing
so
we
have.
This
is
a
really
amazing
opportunity
of
democracy
in
action
being
able
to
hear
varying
opinions
with
a
shared
underlying
goals
and
purpose.
A
AE
And
although
we're
not
able
to
change
the
world
or
effect,
you
know,
federal
change
or
even
state
change.
We
can
do
some
really
great
things
in
our
neighborhoods
and
we've
been
hearing
about
him
from
several
individuals.
So
far,
it's
really
the
grass
roots
type
efforts
and
I
am
concerned
over
the
future
of
neighborhoods.
I
would
just
like
to
echo
the
fact
that
I
think
we
should
pause
for
a
moment
and
really
put
forward
the
best
plan
and
dedicated
funding.
AE
That's
really
a
big
thing,
and
it's
my
first
year
being
a
staff
person
and
to
worry
year-over-year,
basically
where
your
funding
is
going
to
come
from.
If
you
can
continue
doing
the
work
that
your
community
members
have
supported
over
the
years,
I
would
just
echo
it
possibly
involve
a
third
party
and
delay
the
process
for
now.
Thank
you.
AF
Afternoon,
this
is
perhaps
my
favorite
committee,
because
the
two
representatives
for
the
Nina
area,
Johnson
Schrader
here
and
chair
Cunningham-
is
my
personal
council
member
I,
want
to
thank
you
and
I
want
to
think
everyone.
Who's
been
in
this
room.
Who's
been
in
so
many
different
rooms
over
the
past
month.
Talking
sharing
thinking
about
how
to
improve
this
framework,
sharing.
AF
We
have
outreach
contracts
with
the
Health
Department
for
the
city
with
energy,
with
its
that
through
a
business
training
this
week,
and
these
are
amazing
and
I-
got
the
training
that
I
needed
to
go
back
to
my
community.
I
haven't
had
a
neighborhood
specialist
since
August
and
I
haven't
noticed,
we
need
our
contracts
changed
and
that
happens.
AF
I've
been
around
for
eight
years
and
I
think
the
city
could
do
a
lot
better
when
it
comes
to
neighborhoods
I
think
there
could
be
a
lot
more
done
with
this
document
to
make
the
vision
reality.
I,
just
don't
think
that
we
well
actually
I
was
disappointed.
This
doesn't
have
vision.
This
is
what
a
regulatory
agency
would
give.
It
doesn't
have
what
the
let's
told
us
it
doesn't
have
the
voice.
You
know
we
have
this
many
comments,
but
where
are
those
voices
here?
This
is
just
you
should
do
this
with
your
bylaws.
AF
AG
High
chair
Cunningham
peace
committee,
my
name
is
Katie
Jones
and
I
currently
serve
on
the
Larry
Hill
East
Neighborhood
Association,
lovingly
known
as
the
wedge
and
I
first
want
to
say
that
I
actually
am
very
much
in
support
of
the
general
framework
of
this
document.
I
like
that,
there's
accountability
to
that
I
think
as
a
citizen
I
expect
for
tech.
Taxpayer
dollars
are
spent
that
are
given
to
organizations
have
some
accountability
with
them.
AG
I'm
along
on
the
same
hand,
I
would
like
to
make
sure
that
neighborhoods
can
successfully
achieve
that
level
of
accountability,
accountability
and
I
think
this
general
framework
hopefully
like
gives
us
the
good
guidance
I
would
just
want
to
make
sure
that
NCR
can
make
things
simple.
I
know
there
are
a
number
of
documents
that
that
NCR
would
like
for
the
neighborhood's
to
give
and
provide,
and
if
things
can
be
made
online
streamlined
through
surveys
and
Google
Documents,
or
something
like
that.
That
would
really
help
for
keep
down
the
level
of
bureaucracy.
AG
One
thing
I
are
a
thing
that
I
wanted
to
push.
I
noticed
that
you
know
there
would
be
potential
funding
for
CBO's.
I
would
hope
that,
like
the
May
Day
Parade
beat
would
be
considered
as
part
of
that
type
of
funding.
It's
not
in
my
neighborhood,
but
I
love
it
and
a
couple
of
more
implementation
aspects.
AG
Actually,
we
did
have
get
out
the
vote
campaign
this
year
and
now,
for
the
first
time
in
a
in
a
in
the
last
election
for
that
type
for
a
state-level
election,
we
actually
met
the
same
percentage
of
turnout
as
the
rest
of
the
city,
and
that
was
the
first
time
in
the
last
like
10
years,
so
neighborhoods
can
get
do
good
things
and
I
hope
that
you
continue
funding
us,
that's
it.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
AH
AH
We
went
from
eight
board
members
in
April
to
14
just
in
in
a
matter
of
two
weeks,
I'm
here
in
front
of
you
today,
so
they
haven't
even
seen
this
document
in
order
to
really
contribute
today,
I'm
hearing
that
there
might
be
an
NCR
review
and
I'm,
hoping
that
the
voices
that
are
in
the
room
today
would
be
included
somehow
in
that
kind
of
review,
because
I
think
it
would
be
healthy
to
have
that
input.
Today,
I'd
like
to
talk
about
the
work.
What
is
the
work
that
we
will
be
doing?
AH
Nrp
was
about
planning
and
investing
in
this
city
based
on
goals
of
the
city
of
Minneapolis
right,
then
we
went
to
community
engagement
all
needed,
but
those
two
separate
cause
problems
if
they
could
be
combined,
if
there's
a
way
to
combine
them
so
that
there's
an
incentive
to
bring
people
to
the
table.
That
is
meaningful.
AH
That
is
meaningful
work
to
help
the
city
we're
going
to
have
a
Minneapolis
2040
plan
that
is
going
to
change
North
Minneapolis
in
a
way
we
have
not
seen
before
and
I
just
know
that
we
are
going
to
need
more
planning,
more
investment
and
that
being
directed
from
the
baseline
level
would
be
healthy.
I
want
to
talk
about
the
work
that
I
do
right
now.
Our
contracts
are
worse
established
in
2016.
AH
For
this
particular
seventeen
and
nineteen
process,
the
application
was,
and
we
were
to
do
community
participation,
efforts,
building
organizational
capacity,
building,
neighborhood
relationships,
work
with
city
departments
involve
undirected.
Gauged
stakeholders
then
list
your
policies
and
documents,
but
as
far
as
reporting
those
measures
and
process
mean
a
lot
to
me.
If
we're
not
doing
the
work,
then
you
know
we
don't
deserve
to
get
the
dollars.
AH
AI
Okay,
so
hello
councilmembers,
my
name
is
Lisa
Dean
on
front
of
McKinley
community
and
so
I
wanted
to
talk
about
something
very
important.
First
thing
I
want
to
do
is
I
want
to
talk
about
a
case
that
I
have
filed
with
the
Minneapolis
Department
of
Civil
Rights,
the
numbers
MDC
RFI
number
one,
nine
zero,
four,
two
sixty
two
and
the
nature
of
my
complaint
I
want
to
read
it.
I
am
a
former
board
member
miquellee
community
community
associations.
During
my
time,
serving
as
a
board
member
I
was
the
only
personal
color.
AI
AI
Additionally,
I
was
observed,
becoming
community
conduct
practices
that
prevent
or
discourage
members
of
the
community,
as
well
as
myself
from
participating
and
the
activities
and
decision-making
that
will
impact
the
community,
predominantly
community
of
color
I,
believe
I
was
retaliated
against
for
raising
these
issues,
along
with
violations
of
the
organization's
bylaws
I
removed
my
position
on
the
board
and
have
been
removed
from
the
room.
Responding
to
mailing
lists.
AI
I
want
to
say
that,
as
a
member
of
the
board
I'm
a
king
on
board
of
directors
when
it
comes
to
the
neighborhood
of
2020,
my
Kelly
was
not
made
aware
of
any
decisions
being
made.
Even
through
our
workgroup
I'm.
The
member
of
our
workgroup.
That's
supposed
to
represent
the
community
is
not
a
resident
of
our
community.
AI
We
have
no
input
from
my
neighborhood
churches,
our
businesses
and
that's
important
when
it
comes
to
decisions
being
made
specifically
in
North
Minneapolis,
that
is,
majority
people
of
color,
not
only
african-american
full
of
all
different
racial
backgrounds.
I
would
like
the
City
Council
to
commit
to
the
community
to
making
sure
that
there's
no
conflict
of
interest
with
the
councilmembers
Felipe
Cunningham
and
the
McKinley
Board
of
Directors
chair,
Layne
Cunningham,
as
well
as
a
staff
member
with
MCR.
AI
That
is
also
a
subject
of
my
complaint
on
behalf
of
the
residents
and
the
McKenney
community
and
as
the
board
our
request
transparency
through
the
board.
My
position
is
not
to
be
intrusive,
demanding
or
intimidate
the
council
member.
Well,
my
effort
is
to
make
sure
that
there's
fairness
and
inclusivity
in
all
major
decisions
that
affect
the
lives
of
residents
living
in
Minneapolis,
I,
respect
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis
I,
request
that
the
city
of
Minneapolis
give
neighborhood
organizations
the
opƩra
option
to
operate
privately
in
partnership
and
without
strict
dictatorship.
AI
I
want
to
make
a
quote
from
Martin
Luther
King
a
riot
is
the
language
of
the
unheard
and
our
votes
are
counted,
but
our
voices
are
not
heard
and
we
don't
mean
to.
We
don't
have
to
rally
or
write
here
if
we're
welcome
at
the
table
and
every
star
being
kept
in
our
efforts
to
keep
us
away
and
I
mischievous.
Thank
you
very
much
so
much
next.
AJ
Hello,
my
name
is
Sarah
Lynn
Roman,
ition
I
live
in
la
rioja
least
neighborhood.
The
wedge,
I've
been
a
neighborhood
board
member
chaired
committees
and
treasurer
I
volunteered,
just
not
within
the
neighborhood
structure,
but
also
with
coalition's
and
community
groups.
My
union
and
had
been
a
neighborhoods
20,
20
or
group
member
I
practice.
What
I
preach
I
work
hard
to
include
people
in
real
engagement,
information
sharing
and
decision-making
and
I
am
willing
to
hold
people
accountable
that
are
not
I'm,
no
newbie
here
to
be
snowed
by
double-talk
and
PR
campaigns.
AJ
I
work
with
people
in
every
walk
of
life
I
grew
up
here
and
understand
that
our
city
is
not
equitable
in
any
way.
I
know
there
are
a
lot
of
problems
with
the
current
system
at
both
the
city
and
the
neighborhoods.
What
does
this
mean?
It
means
I,
get
it
and
I'm
cynical
and
yet
still
hopeful,
which
is
a
seriously
hard
place
to
inhabit
when
you
live
in
Minneapolis
and
it
means
I'm
against
the
NCR
plan
and
I'm
asking
you
to
vote.
No.
Why?
AJ
Because
I
know
better,
this
authoritarian
and
cruelly
drafted
plan
sets
NCR
up
to
police
and
control
independent
neighborhoods,
which
is
not
acceptable.
There
is
no
excuse
for
what
I
see
in
the
new
plan
and
how
it
was
created.
The
way
any
plan
is
created
is
the
biggest
tell
as
to
how
it
will
be
implemented,
and
this
says
it
all
ignoring
knowledgeable
and
caring
comments.
Pr
campaigns
in
the
press,
steamrolling
omissions
and
misdirection.
AJ
Please
vote
against
NCR's
plan,
take
a
step
back
and
work
hand-in-hand
with
the
neighborhoods
and
CEC
the
NRP
Policy
Board
and
state
legislature
and
Kira,
but
also
Augsburg,
because
it
is
actually
Augsburg
that
has
done
all
the
research
with
neighborhood
associations,
not
Shura,
so
they
need
to
be
part
of
this
program
and
let's
come
up
with
something
that
shows
this
city
government
thinks
more
about
the
residents
than
itself.
Let's
start
following
I
a
p2
and
be
a
real
participatory
democracy.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
so
much
next
up,
we
have
Kelly
ads,
followed
by
Steve
B
and
then
Meredith
the
beach
okay.
If
you
make
one
make
sure
you
turn
it
into
the
city
clerk
that
would
be
appreciated
all
right.
So
then,
next
up
we
have
Steve
be
followed
by
Meredith,
H
and
then
I'm.
So
sorry,
I
cannot
read
the
first
name,
but
the
last
name
is
so
far.
AK
No,
my
name
is
Steve.
Birch
live
at
4401,
Washburn,
Avenue,
south
and
I
represent
the
London
Hills
neighborhood
council
without
question.
We
believe
that
the
goals
and
visions
inside
of
the
document
that
has
been
put
together
are
admirable
and
supportable.
So
our
issue
is
nothing
to
do
with
the
goals
and
vision,
equity
or
anything
like
that.
AK
We
believe
that
the
problem
is
simply
this,
that,
if
you
look
at
the
resources
typically
provide
to
the
NCR
in
order
to
support
the
neighborhoods
that
it
doesn't
add
up
when
it
comes
to
the
requirements
that
are
being
levied
upon
the
neighborhoods.
So
what
we
did
is
we
decided
to
look
at
just
our
neighborhood,
because
you
have
to
approve
the
amount
of
money
that
goes
out
to
the
neighborhoods
in
the
math
for
the
amount
of
money
that
goes
to
neighborhoods,
based
on
the
allocations
in
the
plan.
AK
This
is
the
75%
to
25%,
and
then
the
75%
bleed
down
to
50%
25
25%.
There
are
insufficient
funds
coming
to
the
neighborhoods.
If
this
plan
is
adopted,
as
is,
and
if
the
City
Council
continues
to
fund
the
CPP
program
like
it
has
in
the
past.
So
when
we
did
the
math
on
this
thing,
it
doesn't
work.
We
wouldn't
even
have
enough
money
coming
in
our
base
funding
to
have
one
person
part-time
for
25
hours
per
week,
so
we
would
just
we
believe
the
goals
are
good.
AK
D
AJ
AL
AM
To
all
councilmen,
as
well
as
to
cam,
who
is
part
I,
am
the
president
of
the
Seward
neighborhood
group
and
I
am
also
a
resident
of
Seward
for
I.
Think
about
20
years.
I
have
found
that
over
my
years
in
the
Seward
neighborhood
I
have
seen
much
change,
of
which
there
has
been
a
great
deal
of
diversity
within
our
neighborhood
that
has
been
in
post,
I,
think
the
basic
framework.
If
we
are
going
to
be
given
money.
Obviously
there
are
certain
things
the
city
should
ask
of
us.
AM
However,
there
are
certain
things
that
when
one
is
asked
to
in
a
way
say
if
you
have
so
many
people
in
this
neighborhood,
you
have
to
have
so
many
people
on
the
board.
Well,
you
also
have
people
who
may
or
may
not
want
to
be
on
the
board,
who
may
feel
for
a
variety
of
reasons.
They
would
rather
do
things
through
their
own
communities.
AM
Neighborhood
organizations
need
to
be
supported
in
a
way
that,
when
you
ask
for
the
kinds
of
volunteerism
that
you
are
well
having
volunteers
is
one
thing
being
able
to
marshal
the
forces
to
get
out
to
a
neighborhood
one
by
one
and
to
communicate
the
goals
and
also
to
hear
back
from
the
community
members
the
board's.
What
those
goals
are
needs
money-
and
we
are
a
part
of
the
city
and
the
city
is
part
of
us
and
that's
what
I
say.
A
AN
You,
council
members,
my
name
is
Kevin
old,
walk
I'm
at
1700,
144th
Avenue
North
I
mean
the
whoever
came
to
neighborhood
organization,
I
served
as
a
board
member
VP
chair
briefly,
we've
recognized
everything.
That's
in
this
policy
before
it
came
out.
We
on
some
of
us
saw
that
our
neighborhood
were
not
all
inclusive,
lacking
accountability
and
we
acted
up.
We
acted
on.
That's
why
we
have
this
some
of
those
wonderful
people
here
as
a
new
chair
and
new
board
I,
also
like
to
thank
you
specifically
in
council
member
Gordon
for
listening
to
our
concerns.
AN
I
feel
that
the
draft
came
a
long
way,
but
I
still
did
not
approve
er
today.
Here
for
three
reasons:
quantity
remind
you
that
the
neighborhood
organization
program
is
a
program
recognized
by
the
United
Nation.
It's
it's
a
program
used
as
an
example
for
as
an
example
around
the
world.
We
need
to
find
that
fully
here.
Also
that,
from
my
review,
I
see
that
the
proposed
funding
would
further
impede
the
good
work
that
neighborhood
organization
do
more
bureaucracy
and
more
restriction.
When
we
need
more
flexibility,
each
neighborhood
is
different.
AN
Their
needs
are
different
and
third
I
feel
like
an
NRC
has
had
felt
both
of
us,
the
neighborhood
organization
program
and
City
Council,
with
respect
to
all
due
respect
to
dr.
roubideaux
and
that
wonderful
staff,
they
have
didn't,
go
the
extra
mile
with
the
current
accountability
or
with
with
support
they
trusted,
but
they
didn't
verify
when
we
needed
support.
We
got
minimal
support,
I
feel
that
their
plan
to
put
a
neighborhood
against
each
other
for
to
compete
for
funding
will
further
damaged
us
and
if
we
lack
funding,
take
the
25
percent
off
with
NCR
farms.
AN
A
AO
Name
is
Joan
Mankin,
that's
fine.
I
live
in
the
southeast,
Como
neighborhood
I'm
here
on
my
own
behalf,
but
we
have
talked
about
this
over
a
long
period
of
time.
The
20/20
plan
regulates
it
doesn't
help
or
participate
in
supporting
neighborhoods
and
I.
Look
at
as
a
totally
top-down
process.
Neighborhood
groups
are
doing
the
city's
work
fund
them
period.
AO
This
may
seem
like
a
little
thing.
There
were
so
many
good
comments.
I
was
didn't
want
to
be
redundant.
I
will
stand
on
what
many
people
have
already
said.
One
specific
item
that
show
was
how
dude
neighborhoods
are
different.
You
look
at
little
things
like
having
a
common
election
day
for
boards
nonsense.
Our
neighborhood
is
60%
students,
I
live
in
the
southeast
call,
my
neighborhood
and
the
spring
students
move
out.
AO
Other
families
move
out.
The
population
changes
completely.
That's
why
we
changed
our
bylaws
to
have
elections
in
the
fall
and
our
we
have
a
annual
meeting
in
the
fall
and
our
elections
in
the
fall.
If
you
decide
to
go
senior
wide
with
an
election
in
the
spring,
we
will
lose
half
of
our
board
and
you
will
have
people
like
me
on
our
board
forever.
AO
AP
Like
you
know,
no
I'm
I
just
came
down
to
support
like
some
things
that
David
rubanoid
is
trying
to
do
with
the
Neighborhood
Association,
especially
on
diversity
and
inclusion
and
and
and
so
I'm.
Here,
to
the
hope
that
we
do
have
inclusion,
you
can
see
what
we
are
at
now,
the
people
that
have
the
most
difficulty
in
their
neighborhoods.
AP
We
need
to
make
sure
that
a
percentage
goes
to
out
in
the
neighborhoods
who
so
we
can
recruit
and
do
better
to
get
people
involved.
That
don't
think
the
Neighborhood
Association
is
important
or
don't
think
it
has
anything
to
do
with
them
when
it
really
does
so
I
mask.
You
know
that
we
do
things
that's
inclusive
and
that
we
can
recognize
in
layman
term,
not
according
to
the
neighborhood
or
the
City
Council,
but
that
any
any
person
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis
can
understand
the
whole
plan
and
I
and
I
think
well.
AP
What
Gruber
towards
doing
is
heading
that
way.
We
might
need
some
tweaking,
but
it's
heading
that
way
and
I
know
it's
work.
What
he's
been
doing
over
the
years
with
neighborhood
associations
so
about
rated
and
not
supported,
but
I
would
like
for
more
in
my
community
to
know
about
this.
They
not
saying
anything
I'd
like
to
talk
about
it
on
the
radio
saying
you
need
to
get
involved.
If
you
want
to
a
community
to
be
safe
and
vibrant,
you
need
to
be
a
part
of
it.
AQ
Afternoon,
councilmember
Cunningham
and
other
council
members
and
residents
I
live
in
Falwell,
which
is
in
Camden,
which
is
a
Northside
which
is
in
Minneapolis
and
I
feel
a
strong
sense
of
citizenship
to
all
of
these
places,
mainly
Falwell,
because
that
is
my
neighborhood.
Now
the
few
people
four
or
five
people
that
support
this
proposal
talked
a
lot
about
diversity
and
inclusion,
and
the
question
I
would
ask,
is
what
have
they
done
to
make
that
a
possibility?
Three
years
ago
in
fall?
AQ
Well,
people
with
privilege,
people
like
Danielle
Tegan
people
like
Nate
Streeter,
they
started
getting
out
and
talking
to
neighbors
and
saying
something's
wrong
with
our
association.
It
is
not
representing
our
community,
it
is
not
meeting
the
needs
of
the
people
that
live
here
and
we
started
a
grassroots
organizing
campaign
that
led
to
changing
our
whole
board
and
getting
a
new
board
getting
new
leadership
which
included
that
board
electing
me
as
their
chair,
a
renter
in
fall.
AQ
Well,
I
am
no
longer
on
the
board,
I'm
still
very
active
in
Falwell,
and
what
I
know
to
be
true
is
you
cannot
mandate
compassion?
You
cannot
mandate
humane
behavior.
That
has
to
come
from
the
grassroots,
so
the
neighborhoods
that
don't
want
renters
and
don't
want
people
of
color
and
don't
want
people
from
the
LGBT
community,
the
people,
the
communities
that
are
set
that
way
and
don't
want
that
included
in
their
boards.
You
can't
make
date
them
to
include
them,
as
the
sister
spoke
earlier
about
her
lawsuit.
AQ
Even
when
we
get
in
those
rooms
we're
treated
like
garbage.
The
work
we're
doing
in
Falwell
is
very
intricate
work.
It's
not
just
being
able
to
line
people
up
and
go.
Oh
look,
Brown
black
white
brown
black!
No,
we
are
coaching
people
marginalizing
and
disenfranchised
people
can't
just
walk
into
a
boardroom
and
know
how
they
function
in
and
operating.
AQ
There
has
to
be
a
lot
of
intentional
relationship
building
that
happens
so
that
those
people
can
feel
strong
and
supported,
and
a
lot
of
those
people
are
coming
with
challenges
that
other
people
don't
have
to
deal
with.
It
takes
a
lot
of
work
to
do
this
and
using
this
guideline
this
book.
With
all
these
comments,
but
I
want
to
know
what
percentage
of
the
information
in
here
actually
got
into
the
document
because
I'm
guessing
it's
a
very
low
percentage,
I
want
us
to
take
our
time
and
do
this
right
or
not.
A
AR
Didn't
build
this
for
me.
Did
you
piece?
Thank
you
all
for
caring,
so
much.
Thank
you
all
for
caring.
My
name
is
Jay
Webb
I'm,
the
executive
director
of
the
international
gateway
for
all
of
you
who
may
not
this
in
Congress
I
mean
a
Calif
I
stay
in
the
future
of
a
Councilwoman,
a
Connell
in
her
district,
it's
between
Lake,
it's
on
Lake,
Street
from
Columbus
all
the
way
to
Blaisdell,
and
it's
one
of
the
hardest
hit
areas
for
drug
abuse.
Prostitution,
homelessness.
AR
We
we're
not
our
Neighborhood
Association,
but
we
feel
all
the
neighborhood
associations,
because
it's
a
strength
and
the
weakness
of
any
neighborhood
is
in
things,
are
challenges
of
homelessness
drugs,
and
so
we
get
people
from
everywhere.
They
come
here
not
to
labor
on
that.
But
I
want
to
thank
you
all.
Like
mad
dads
urban
adventure,
Shiloh
temple,
where
I
tend
all
the
neighborhood
associations.
AR
AR
No,
but
if
you
want
to
a
plan
to
do
better,
you
have
to
take
it
out
of
its
environment-
that's
not
thriving
in
and
so
right
now
I'm
a
the
assisted
living
in
places
that
they're
actually
they're
all
in
the
same
place
and
so
as
I
own
getting
healed,
but
you're
going
to
the
same
toxicity.
So
we
just
hope
that
we
can
all
open
up
our
arms
and
and
work
along
with
the
city,
because
the
plan
is
no
good.
AR
If
it
doesn't
have
addition,
you
know,
and
it
doesn't
have,
everyone
has
their
their
their
their
places.
It's
chemistry
right
now
we
have
protons
and
neutrons,
but
we
needed
an
electron.
That's
the
energy
that
we
weren't
really
there,
but
it
was
our
impression
I'm
I'm,
the
I'm
considered
like
the
and
not
because
of
my
size
of
the
consciousness
and
that's
because
of
all
of
us.
We
have
this
power
of
consciousness
that
we
can
either
stay
within
many
and
or
and
just
take
care
of
our
own.
AR
We
could
strengthen
here
and
then
bolts
are
out
and
being
model
to
other
cities
lasting
the
third
day.
I
hope
that
I
was
going
to
be
the
last
one,
so
I
get
the
extra
30
seconds,
but
what
this
is
all
about
is
that
we
have
the
power
to
change
the
world
right
now
and
it's
a
different
definition
of
love.
It's
called
linking
our
values
and
efforts.
It's
there
is
no
leader
division.
AR
Is
the
leaders,
visionary
leadership
so
right
now
it's
our
opportunity
that
we
can
all
come
together
and
say:
hey
I
know
you
all
saw
you
at
the
meeting
hey.
What
would
you
guys
like
to
do?
What
would
you
like
to
go
to?
What's
your
vision?
How
could
we
help
you,
and
so
that's
our
strength
right
now
and
we
can
change
the
world
one
world
at
a
time
your
world?
AR
If
that's
our
commitment,
then
rules
will
go
far,
but
if
we,
if
we're
locked
into
our
oh,
this
is
my
compartment.
This
is
my
race.
This
is
this
anyway,
I
am
Minneapolis.
I
am
the
world
just
like
you
on
the
universe
who
all
this
not
limit
ourselves.
Let's
not
limit
ourself,
let's
stretch
out,
that's
why
I
international
gateway?
We
have
the
power
to
embrace
all
different
cultures:
peace-
god
bless.
You.
AS
Compliment
our
councilmember
Cunningham,
my
name
is
Danny
Teigen
and
I
live
in
the
fall,
neighborhood
I'm,
the
volunteer
admin
for
the
NNC
and
I
would
never
take
their
voice.
There's
members
of
them
all
throughout
it.
Raise
your
hand,
members
of
the
NNC
which
represent
all
of
the
Northside
neighborhood
associations
and
also
staff
at
the
follow
on
Neighborhood
Association
I.
Do
want
to
thank
council
I
want
to
thank
all
the
workgroups
I
participated
on
workgroup
3
I
do
want
to
thank
NCR
for
their
time
and
attention
in
all
of
this.
AS
And
so
we
need
more
time.
We
need
time
and
money
in
order
to
fund
that
kind
of
revolutionary
work,
to
make
sure
that
we
are
building
and
growing
from
a
place
of
health
and
not
something
that's
regulatory,
and
to
something
that
mr.
flowers,
that
what
is
fascinating
to
me
is
mold.
And
what
I
love
is
everybody
here
wants
the
same
thing.
Much
to
what
you
said.
AS
One
of
my
biggest
concerns
is
the
way
that
cultural
groups
and
neighborhood
associations
continue
to
be
not
just
separated,
but
no
links
between
the
two
al
flowers
wants
wanted
to
know
why
this
wasn't
on
the
radio.
Ncr
has
this
cultural
specialist
that
is
on
K
MOJ
and
nothing
ever
is
bridging
that
gap
to
talk
about
that
culture
coming
and
building
with
neighborhood
associations,
and
so
there's
a
gap
there.
That
needs
to
be
addressed.
Thank
you
for
you.
AL
Councilmember
is
peace
community,
it's
good
to
be
here,
I'm
here
representing
the
Center
for
urban
regional
affairs
at
the
University
of
Minnesota.
We
do
a
lot
of
work
with
the
folks
that
are
in
this
room.
We've
trained
many
leaders
on
community
organizing
we've
done
plenty
of
community-based
research
to
kind
of
talk
about
the
issues
that
are
important
to
the
groups
that
are
in
here.
We
have
grants
that
these
groups
apply
for
all
the
time
to
do
the
important
work
that
they're
doing.
AL
In
fact,
our
most
recent
recent
neighborhood
partnership
initiative,
which
funds
a
year-long
organizing
campaign
I,
have
the
65
applications
I
think
25
of
them
came
from
groups
that
were
in
this
room.
This
work
needs
to
be
funded.
These
groups
want
to
do
good
work.
These
groups
recognize
racial
equity
as
important
we
partner
with
them,
because
we
believe
that
residents
are
the
most
powerful
force
for
justice
in
their
communities.
AL
We
also
recognize
that
we're
coming
from
a
complicated
history
right
by
pop
communities
have
been
left
out
of
these
conversations
too
left
out
of
these
structures,
both
in
history
and
today
and
so
goals
around
diversity
are
absolutely
important,
but
we
also
have
to
recognize
that
they're,
not
the
destination.
One
way
to
say
it
is
diversity,
shouldn't
mean
how
do
we
get
people
who
look
different
to
do
the
same
things
that
we've
always
done?
How
do
you
bring
people
with
different
subject?
AL
Sets
of
experiences,
relationships,
intentions
and
good
work
to
bring
fullness
the
work
that
we're
doing
and
so
I
think
we
can
talk
about
diversity,
but
we
can
also
envision
something
greater
than
that
too,
and
I
think
a
lot
of
these
groups
here
today,
like
Falwell,
like
Bryant,
like
Cleveland,
like
Padawan
and
others,
Corcoran
Nokomis
EES.
All
these
groups
that
are
in
here
today
do
great
work.
They
want
to
do
more
great
work.
AL
How
do
we
have
a
plan
and
a
framework
to
allow
them
to
do
more
of
that
great
work,
I
think
Europe
continued
to
be
a
partner
with
the
city,
continue
to
be
a
partner,
I
think
as
Dave
and
I
have
talked
about,
we
do
different
levels
of
the
systems.
Work,
we're
gonna,
train
folks,
we're
gonna
do
research,
but
how
we
imagine
those
things
together
greater
than
where
we
are
now
I
think
curious
committed
to
do
that
I'm,
giving
the
opportunity.
So
thank
you.
AT
Hello,
everybody,
my
name
is
Marcus
Mills
I'm
out
of
the
Murphy
homes
neighborhood.
As
many
of
you
know,
I've
had
several
pets
or
roles
in
this
process
and
just
wanted
to
speak
to
a
few
quick
points
of
that.
I
was
a
part
of
this
one
I
got
started.
The
neighborhood's
2020
was
originally
a
community
group.
A
group,
a
a
committee
out
of
the
NCC
organization
and
I,
was
one
of
the
co-chairs
in
the
second
round
of
it.
We've
been
working
on
this
for
a
few
years
and
for
much
of
that
time,
NCR
had
been
allies.
AT
They
helped
us
in
a
number
of
ways
and
they've
been
a
reasonable
stewards
of
a
couple
of
these
ideas.
Unfortunately,
somewhere
near
the
end,
this
turned
in
a
different
direction.
I
will
say
that
of
what
now,
I
believe
should
be
a
worthwhile
aspect
in
these
talks
in
these
negotiations.
In
the
continued
work
that
I
believe
needs
to
happen.
We
need
autonomous
neighborhoods.
They
are
vital
to
an
aspect
of
the
way
we
operate.
AT
AT
We
need
all
those
invested
in
this
work
to
be
working
together
as
we
move
forward
and
I've
heard
that
there
is
a
proposal
that
people
have
brought
the
idea
of
taking
the
time
to
do
that
work
going
forward
so
that
there
is
a
chance
for
us
all
to
work
together
to
achieve
the
goals
that
we
are
all
searching
for.
I
am
in
absolute
favor
of
that
of
that
time
being
taken
to
do
this.
Work
and
I
commit
myself
to
helping
you
with
this
work,
to
helping
anyone
willing
to
do
this
work
as
we
go
forward.
A
AU
Afternoon
my
name
is
Cathy
Spann
I
am
executive
director
of
the
Jordan
Area
Community
Council,
but
I
actually
live
in
Willard,
hey
one
of
the
things
that
I'm
gonna
ask
you
to
do
is
look
at
this
document,
not
from
the
lens
as
an
elected
official,
but
from
the
Liz
lens
actually
of
a
resident.
What
I'm
asking
you
is,
does
it
answer
the
question
that
it
is
intended
to
say
the
neighborhood
2020
initiative
recommends
a
new
approach
to
funding
that
would
carry
forward
after
December
2020.
AU
Does
it
answer
that
question
I'm
going
to
say
that
Jordan
Airy
community
council
is
very
grateful,
so
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
because
in
the
70s
and
80s
we
spend
millions
and
millions
of
dollars
in
housing,
development
and
business
development
and
we're
really
grateful
for
the
foot
in
our
paint
funding
and
then
ultimately
for
CPP
funding?
It
is
an
amazing
opportunity,
but
right
now
today,
I
asked
you
to
not
look
through
the
lens
as
a
city.
Our
elected
official.
Take
that
lens
off,
but
look
at
this
document
as
a
resident
where
you
live.
AU
Does
it
actually
address
the
question
in
which
it
is?
It
is
saying:
funding
beyond
2020
I
want
another
thing
that
it
does
and
it
asked
us
several
things
that
we
already
do.
We
already
provide
bylaws.
We
already
look
at
conflict
resolution
documents.
We
already
look
at
diversity.
We
already
do
our
bylaws.
AU
We
already
do
the
things
that
they
ask
us
to
do,
but
one
of
the
things
where
they
have
failed
an
NCR,
and
they
know
that
I
have
addressed
this
with
them
things
that
they
should
have
been
doing
right
from
the
beginning,
where
it
says:
training,
technical
assistance
and
tools
and
resources.
Have
they
been
over
the
years
been
providing
this
to
neighborhood
associations.
You
asked
us
to
change.
AU
You
asked
us
to
be
accountable,
but
I'm
gonna
tell
you
that
you
cannot
ask
us
what
you
as
a
city,
has
just
recently
done
NCR
departments
within
the
last
five
to
seven
years.
They
themselves
have
brought
on
cultural
specialists.
This
has
not
been
done
in
the
end.
What
in
1980
1990?
This
was
not
done.
This
has
just
been
done
within
the
last
five
to
seven
years,
so
you
asked
us
once
again
to
be
accountable.
AU
I
ask
you
to
look
at
you
being
accountable
for
us
as
citizens
as
well,
and
what
the
things
that
it
is
saying
that
it's
going
to
do
in
the
future.
You
asked
the
question
what
you
asked
the
question
once
again,
not
as
elected
officials
but
as
residents
have
they
been
providing
training,
technical
assistance
and
tools
and
resources
over
the
years.
A
A
R
The
in
community
engagement
task
force,
people
talked
about
the
blueprint
for
equity
I,
also
think
we
laid
out
clearly
in
our
comprehensive
plan
that
there's
support
for
neighborhoods
there's
that
famous
14th
goal
the
14th
one
right
that
we
put
in
there
and
also
the
whole
policy
about
that.
Also,
in
the
last
time
we
did
our
budget.
We
laid
out
a
five-year
projection,
making
a
commitment
to
funding
I
think
getting
this
framework
getting
a
council
approval
of
a
framework
is
going
to
be
critical
to
that
effort.
Moving
forward.
R
I
certainly
recognize
that
this
absolutely
we
need
to
do
more
work.
This
is
kind
of
a
touch
point
here,
so
I
think
we're
smarter
to
use
it
as
a
pivot
point
where
we're
able
to
approve
a
framework
and-
and
let
people
know
that
the
council
continues
to
be
committed
strongly
to
neighborhood
organizations
and
to
working
for
the
future
and
what
within?
R
What
parameters
that
is
and
then
I'm
excited
about
the
potential
to
see
our
staff
work
with
Kira
or
others,
and
and
continue
to
work
on
that
as
we
develop
program
guy
and
refine
that
I
have
a
couple.
Amendments
I'd
like
to
make
the
the
framework
resolution
that
is
in
our
packet,
that
is
authored
by
the
chair,
Cunningham.
So
I,
don't
know
if
it's
appropriate
for
me
to
move
that
that
approval
item
number
one
now
so
that
I
can
move
those
amendments
and
if
it
is,
I
would
like
to
move
that.
A
Council,
member
Gordon
has
moved
approval
of
item
number
one,
which
is
the
passage
of
the
resolution
approving
the
neighborhood's
2020
framework
recommendations.
I
will
start
off
the
right,
I'll
put
it
up
for
a
conversation,
discussion
and
I'll.
Kick
it
off.
I
will
say
that
I
well,
I
am
the
author
of
the
resolution
that
I
actually
do
not
support
it.
Moving
forward
the
as
the
representative
of
the
Northside
community,
it
was
made
to
me
very
clear
unanimously
by
the
neighborhood
associations
in
my
ward,
that
folks
wanted
an
entire
delay
and
that's
what
I'm
bringing
forward
today.
A
We
we
already
have
the
motion
on
the
table
right
now,
but
I
will
go
ahead
and
share
the
staff
direction.
I
won't
move
it
now,
but
I
wanted
to
go
ahead
and
share
so
folks
know
transparently
what
I
will
be
bringing
forward.
So
the
staff
direction
reads
and
clerk:
do
we
have
I
printed
off
extra
copies?
Are
they
okay?
So
if
folks
are
interested,
they
are
available
over
there,
but
I
will
read
it
here.
A
So
neighborhood,
a
community
relations
department
staff
in
partnership
with
finance
and
property
services
staff
and
there's
as-needed-
are
directed
to
do
the
following
collaborates
with
the
University
of
Minnesota's
Center
for
Urban
and
Regional
Affairs
Kira
to
complete
the
resident,
led
process
of
furthering
the
neighborhoods
2020
framework
and
developing
program
guidelines
at
the
collaborate
collaborate
level
of
engagement
based
on
the
ia
p2
spectrum.
This
process
is
to
be
completed
by
October,
26,
2019
and
I
want
to
Claire
to
read
so
folks
know
transparently
what
the
collaborate
level
of
the
ia
p2
spectrum
is.
A
The
goal
is
to
partner
with
the
public
in
each
aspect
of
the
decision,
including
the
development
of
alternatives
and
the
identification
of
a
preferred
solution,
and
then
a
promise
to
the
public
is
that
we
will
work
together
with
you
to
formulate
solutions
and
incorporate
your
advice
and
recommendations
into
the
decisions
to
the
maximum
extent
possible
aspects.
So
getting
back
to
you,
my
staff
direction.
Aspects
of
the
work
should
include,
but
are
not
limited
to
the
development
of
overall
goals,
program,
goals
and
outcomes.
A
This
is
getting
to
the
why,
as
as
folks
had
asked
for
the
development
of
metrics
to
measure
progress
towards
goals,
defining
a
racial
equity
analysis
of
neighborhood
association
operations
and
activities,
the
development
of
a
logic
model
that
includes
inputs,
activities,
outputs
and
outcomes,
convening
the
governance
and
funding
work
groups,
as
well
as
including
additional
stakeholders
such
as,
but
not
limited
to
NRP
policy
board
members
and
CEC
commissioners.
Neighborhoods.
A
Excuse
me,
members
of
neighborhood
associations
and
those
currently
not
engaged
in
neighborhood
associations,
identifying
a
budget
neutral
structure
for
NC
of
NCR
to
best
support,
neighborhood
associations,
defining
a
preferred
funding
stream
for
ongoing
funding
of
neighborhood
associations
leveraging
the
work
completed,
thus
far,
development
of
the
neighborhoods
2020
framework
and
program
guidelines.
This
work
is
to
be
reported
back
to
the
Peace
Committee
on
October
26
2019,
and
will
be
posted
for
public
comment.
A
This
is
the
framework
that
we
would
like
to
see
moving
forward,
then
from
there
being
able
to
then
talk
about
the
how
how
we
got
to
get
the,
why
clear
and
then
get
to
the
how
and
that's
the
program
guidelines
also,
what
I
feel
like
as
Michigan
is
about
an
explicit
racial
equity
analysis.
We
talked
a
lot
about
diversity,
but
again,
diversity
for
diversity's
sake
is
not
enough.
We
need
to
talk
about.
Why
does
it
matter
that
folks
are
at
the
table
and
much
to
a
point
that
was
made?
A
A
I
also
talked
about
the
reason
why
I
support
a
logic
model
for
folks
who
don't
know
it's
just
kind
of
a
general
structure
that
will
clearly
define
what
are
the
inputs
so
how
much
money?
What
are
the
active
staff
time
volunteer
time?
The
activities
are,
what
does
what
does
NCR
do?
What
do
neighborhoods
do?
What
are
the
outputs?
A
The
amount
of
people
engage
the
amount
of
doors,
not
the
amount
of
people
who
attend
events
and
then
the
outcomes,
for
example,
better
connected
neighborhoods
or
excuse
me
better,
connected
neighbors
so
like
that
is
an
outcome
that
most
neighborhood
associations
seek
to
be
able
to
have.
Is
we
want
to
have
better
connected
neighbors?
A
Okay,
with
that,
no,
we
want
to
explore
other
options
and
be
able
to
dig
into
what
exactly
long-term
funding
will
look
like
for
neighborhood
associations.
I
do
I
feel
as
though
this
staff
direction
builds
on
the
work
that
is
done
rather
than
just
cars.
It
starts
over
and
I
just
want
to
clearly
name
that
so
from
there
I
know,
I
saw
comer
straighter
than
Johnson.
AV
Beecher
Cunningham
I
wanted
to
speak
in
favor
of
both
councilmember
Gordon's
motion
as
well
as
councilmember.
Excuse
me,
chair,
Cunningham's
staff
direction.
I
mean
for
me.
Klunk
for
delay
makes
me
frankly
very
nervous,
because
what
we're
talking
about
today
is
is
the
framework.
Can
that
the
funding,
and
for
me
the
funding,
is
the
critical
issue.
Everything
you
talked
about.
I
think
that
loud
and
clear
we
need
to
have
neighborhoods.
AV
Think
the
one
of
the
reasons
I
think
just
to
support
the
councilmember
Gordon's
is
to
really
have
that
debate
at
City
Council.
You
know
we're
having
a
very
very
in
the
weeds
discussion
about
what
neighborhoods
could
look
like
without
talking
about
what
funding,
what
funding
levels
will
be
there
and
I
would
I'd
like
to
have
the
discussion
when
my
colleagues
really
is.
AV
You
know
that
we
support
neighborhoods
and
what
level,
because
it's
not
gonna,
be
an
easy
call
myself
I
mean
this
is
something
that's
very
near
and
dear
to
my
heart,
something
that
care
a
lot
about.
This
process
has
been
going
on.
We've
heard
many
times
about
all
the
work.
That's
gone
into
this
framework
myself
in
my
office.
We
put
that
time.
You've
seen
them
on
the
committees.
We've
worked
very
hard
to
make
sure
that
the
framework
was
as
best
we
could
be.
AV
It
could
be
that
said,
I've
gone
out
to
the
neighborhoods
and
I've
heard
from
my
community
leaders
that
there's
a
lack
of
trust
that
their
vision
is
not
reflected.
So
I
want
to
thank
the
chair
for
bringing
forward
the
council
of
direction
and
I'm
hoping
having
a
little
more
time,
will
make
sure
that
we
have
all
those
goals
met.
Thank.
A
AW
You
mr.
chair
I
support
your
staff
direction,
I'm,
not
supportive
of
moving
forward
with
a
framework
today
when
I
met
with
our
neighborhood
associations,
in
fact
represented
by
neighborhood
associations
from
all
corners
of
the
city.
We
took
the
draft
framework
and
we
were
talking
about
redlining
it
and
what
ended
up
coming
up
over
and
over
and
over
again
is
that
it
really
seems
to
be
missing
the
larger
opportunity
here.
AW
The
the
draft
framework
is
essentially
the
status
quo,
only
leashing
and/or,
tightening
the
leash
on
neighborhood
associations
and
misses
the
larger
opportunity
of
how
do
we
really
take
it
to
the
next
level
and
step
up
here
and
advance
these
goals,
and
through
that
conversation
we
really
got
at
this
idea
of
there's
a
huge
lack
of
trust
around
how
we
got
here
and
around
this
process
and
around
this
plan
as
well
and
I.
Look
out
across
this
room
and
I
think
about
the
speakers
today.
AW
We've
had
speaker
after
speaker
who
are
some
of
the
very
most
engaged
people
in
our
city.
Some
of
the
strongest
leaders
across
our
city
came
out
today
in
spoke,
and
it
was
nearly
unanimous
that
this
plan
is
a
flawed
document
and
I.
Think
we
have
and
representative
in
councilmember
Cunningham's
staff
direction
is
the
opportunity
to
take
the
step
back
to
work,
to
rebuild
and
repair
that
trust
and
to
come
up
with
the
plan
that
actually
takes
it
to
the
next
level.
AW
I,
don't
think
at
the
end
of
the
day,
if
this
framework
does
pass
that
it's
the
end
of
the
world,
but
I
think
it
would
be
a
huge
missed
opportunity
for
the
City
Council
to
stand
up
and
say
we
have
a
system
that
we
can
improve
upon
and
that
we
are
going
to
take
that
effort
and
listen
and
collaborate
and
work
in
partnership.
To
do
so
and
I
also
have
concerns
about
this
document.
Overall,
it
avoids
a
lot
of
questions
that
are
really
important
in
here
and
I.
AW
Don't
understand
how
it
isn't
a
representation,
especially
out
its
community-based
organizations
against
neighborhood
associations.
I,
don't
understand
how
it
isn't
it
cuts
to
funding
for
neighborhood
associations
if
we're
operating
under
the
assumption
that
a
lot
of
councilmembers
have
been
that
the
level
of
overall
funding
the
pool
made
available
would
remain
the
same.
In
that
case,
then,
a
25%
set-aside
for
community-based
organizations
would
ultimately
be
cut
to
neighborhood
associations,
but
that's
just
one
component
of
that
as
well.
A
A
D
R
A
AX
Thank
You
councilmember
Cunningham,
so
I
I
first
want
to
thank
everybody
for
for
coming
out
here
today
in
the
middle
of
the
workday,
to
express
your
opinions
and
your
ideas.
It's
really
valuable
to
us.
I
wish
it
was
more
at
a
more
friendly
time
for
folks
so
that
we
could
see
more
Latino,
community
members
here
and
and
other
diverse
folks
engaging,
but
we
know
that
there's
challenges
to
help
all
of
this
is
set
up.
I
also
want
to
thank
our
NCR
staff
for
leading
this
process.
AX
I
know
that
it's
it's
hard
to
take
on
significant
initiatives
like
this
in
the
middle
of
really
other
important
things
like
the
driver's
license
campaign,
the
census
work
we
just
got
out
of
the
feels
like
we
still
just
got
out
of
the
Minneapolis
Comprehensive
Plan.
So
it's
it's
it's
it's
a
juggling
act
to
make
sure
that
each
significant
conversation
we're
having
that
relates
to
policy
decisions,
gets
enough
attention
and
support.
AX
So
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
that
there's,
there's
some
constraints
here
and
and
I
want
to
be
able
to
support
everyone
in
coming
together
to
a
good
place.
So
from
my
perspective,
I
would
feel
comfortable
delaying
the
framework
adoption
if
it
means
we
can
have
a
little
bit
more
time
to
perhaps
build
on
the
work
that
the
staff
Direction
comes
from
or
Cunningham
is
bringing
forward
to
to
help
us
get
that
framework
to
to
a
healthier
spot
of
agreement
with
folks
I'm.
AX
Also,
okay,
approving
it
today,
knowing
that
the
staff
direction
that
comes
former
Cunningham
has
here
will
likely
address
some
of
the
the
concerns
that
were
raised
today
and-
and
hopefully,
we
can
get
to
a
place
where
a
lot
of
the
concerns
can
be
addressed.
I
do
want
to
speak
directly
to
the
motion
by
councilmember
Gordon
and
offer
an
amendment
a
friendly
amendment
to
the
motion
by
councilmember,
Gordon
and,
and
it
speaks
to
I-
think
part
of
the
reason
why
I
would
be
oh.
R
AI
AX
I'll,
wait
until
you
introduce
it,
but
both
some
of
the
things
that
relate
to
the
motion
that
you
might
bring
up
later.
Is
this
question
around
you
know
the
the
funding
that
would
be
coming
from
the
same
pool
of
resources
to
support
community-based
organizations
to
do
work,
and
so
I
think
it's
important
for
us
as
policymakers
to
understand
the
rationale
for
why
that
was
presented
and
I
can
speak
to
it.
AX
The
City
Council
is
already
working
on,
such
as
green
zones,
upper
harbor
cultural
districts,
because
otherwise
we're
just
going
to
diffuse
that
funding
and
not
have
that
collective
impact
that
we
can
have
when
we
really
tighten
up
our
our
lines
of
work
and
we
really
deliver
and
say
these
are
the
three
racial
equity
impacts
we
want
to
have
in
our
neighborhoods
and
our
unity.
And
so
if
the
issue
is
just
like
hey,
we
just
want
to
have
more
money
available
to
CBO's.
AX
Then
there's
different
sources
for
that,
and
we
can
have
that
conversation
if
the.
If
the
issue
is
like
hey
that
one
minneapolis
funds
needs
more
resources.
Well,
let's
have
a
conversation
between
one
minneapolis
and
cultural
districts
or
one
minneapolis
and
green
zones.
I
mean
there's
just
so
many
ways
that
I
think
we
could
really
be
weaving
our
story
together
instead
of
what
I'm
feeling
right
now
is
just
kind
of
like
this
diffuse
approach
at
trying
to
reach
a
specific
goal,
but
not
having
perhaps
enough
conversation
here
to
to
get
us
there.
AX
So
so
again,
you
know
if
we
do
get
to
the
point
of
entertaining
some
other
emotions
here
today.
I
do
want
to
just
put
this
on
the
table
in
that
I'm
a
little
uncomfortable,
making
a
decision
on
that
on
that
component
of
having
25
percent
of
the
resources
to
neighborhood
associations
go
into
CBO's
without
having
a
more
clear,
strategic
and
measurable
outcome
that
comes
with
that
move.
At
the
same
time
that
we
answer,
questions
about
with
a1
Minneapolis
fund
and
the
other
policy
work
that
we
know
will
need
funding
through
this
year's
budget
cycle.
A
R
Thank
you
very
much,
I
appreciate
it
when,
when
I
was
assuming
that
we'd
be
considering
the
the
framework
and
voting
on
that,
I
did
prepare
some
amendments,
because
there
were
concerns
that
I
had
so
I
would
wouldn't
mind
on
the
opportunity
to
at
least
present
the
ideas
that
I
was
hoping
that
the
committee
could
discuss
and
possibly
move
it
to
to
even
amend
the
framework.
I
just
want
to
share
the
three
ideas,
especially
because
council
member
Khanna
was
talking
about
the
third
one.
The
three
ideas
I
had
of
modifying
the
framework.
R
The
first
one
was
to
establish
a
minimum
neighborhood
allocation,
which
is
the
current
minimum
allocation
we
have
of
$25,000.
The
second
one
was
establishing
that
the
neighborhood
day
would
be
a
voluntary
option
for
neighborhood
organizations.
I
know
we
at
least
heard
one
speaker
speak
about
that
and
the
complexities
of
it.
My
expectation
would
be
that
if
it
was
voluntary
and
we
pulled
it
off
really
well
and
we
had
the
right
date,
more
neighborhoods
would
want
to
participate
in
it
and
we
could
test
it
out
before.
R
It
was
a
requirement,
and
the
third
item
had
to
do
with
a
concern
that
council
member
Johnson
raised,
which
is
about
that
25%.
That
would
automatically
be
cut
out
of
the
allocation.
I
think
we've
all
been
expecting
to
go
to.
Neighborhood
organizations
was
trying
to
reach
a
compromise,
and
it
would
say
that
establishing
a
requirement
that
community-based
organizations
that
receive
funding
from
this
program
must
partner
with
the
neighborhood
organization.
R
So
the
idea
would
be
a
neighborhood
organization,
then,
would
have
to
find
a
community
organization,
and
they
go
back
to
get
that
25%
to
complete
the
projects
and
implement
that
that
was
trying
to
bridge
a
divide
that
I
think
still
existed
between
the
original
framework
and
the
other
one
I
I
know
it
seems
like
there
was
even
some
support
for
that
idea
as
well.
Potentially
potentially
that
could
be
amended
as
well.
R
I
I
could
try
I'm
just
not
sure
if
I
should
wait
to
hear
from
councilmember
Jenkins
before
I
understand
which
path
to
go
down
because
I'd
be
happy
to
move
move
one
or
more
of
these
amendments
to
the
motion
that
I
already
made
and
we
could
take
those
up
as
well,
but
perhaps
with
that
said,
I'll
step
back
for
a
moment.
Let
councilmember
Jenkins
kind
of
give
us
her
perspective
on
it,
because
I
know
we
haven't
heard
from
her
yet
well.
R
C
C
It
saddens
me
that
that
that
it's
always
debate
about
us
versus
them
I
live
in
Minneapolis
I
live
in
a
neighborhood.
You
know,
I've
been
engaged
in
many
many
neighborhood
organizations
over
a
very
significant
period
of
time
on
all
sides
of
town
I
worked
for
than
Nate
Northside
neighborhood
redevelopment
corporation
I
served
as
the
Board
Chair
of
my
own
neighborhood
organization.
The
Bryant
neighborhood
I
was
a
board
member
of
the
power1
Park
Neighborhood
Association,
and
and
have
worked
on
several
projects
with
several
neighborhood
organizations
throughout
the
city.
C
And
yes,
all
of
those
neighborhoods
are
different
and
diverse,
but
they
all
make
the
city
of
Minneapolis.
You
know
the
challenges
that
I
have
seen
in
some
of
these
neighborhood
organizations
is
what
I
believe
this
framework
is
trying
to
address.
I
mean
there
are
neighborhood
organizations
right
now
today
that
have
board
chairs
that
have
been
there
for
decades.
C
With
the
same
board
members
and
achieving
the
same
exact
outcomes,
I
believe
this
framework
is
trying
to
help
us
move
beyond
that,
and
maybe
you
might
say
you
can't
force
people
into
spaces
that
they
don't
want
to
be
in.
But
we
all
live
in
this
neighborhood,
whether
we
can't
move
people
out
and
so
I
am
supporting
the
framework
with.
C
A
A
R
Right
Catholic
or
New
York,
so
I
would
like
to
move
to
amend
the
neighborhood's
2020
framework
as
follows:
to
change
three
components
of
the
framework,
one
establishing
the
minimum
neighborhood
allocation
at
$25,000
to
establishing
neighborhood
day
as
a
voluntary
option
for
neighborhood
organizations
to
hold
their
annual
board
elections,
and
three
I
would
like
to
move.
Alondra
Khan
owes
a
version
of
number
three,
so
it's
not
written
before
you,
but
you
got
it
in
your
email.
R
A
AW
AX
I
think
there's
perhaps
other
ways
that
we
can
achieve
that
because
you
know
taking
this
this
chunk
of
money
out
of
that
same
pool,
sort
of
inadvertently
punishes
all
the
neighborhood
associations
that
have
them
doing
good
work
and
meeting
those
those
standards
and
so
I
think
we
need
more
more
time
to
look
into
that
and
that's
why
I'll
be
voting
to
not
approve
the
framework
today,
but
I
will
be
supporting
a
councilmember
Gordon's
motion
again.
AX
A
A
The
concern
that
I
have
is
when
we
talk
about
community-based
organizations,
the
it
actually
is
cultural
community
organizations
and
so
I,
as
we
talked
about
you
know,
with
historically
some
neighborhood
associations
really
perpetuating
white
supremacy
in
a
lot
of
ways
that
the
onus
should
really
be
on
neighborhood
associations
to
work
with
cultural
groups
to
be
able
to
do
that
work,
and
so
this
kind
of
has
that
a
little
bit
backwards
and
but
I
understand
and
appreciate
the
under
underlying
intention.
I
do
not
support
the
framework
moving
forward.
A
However,
the
amending
it
to
include
this.
These
changes
I
think,
will
be
helpful
for
the
staff
direction
as
Kiera
and
carries
this
work
forward.
So
that
is
why
I
will
be
voting
YES
for
these
amendments.
So
on
that
note,
the
motion
is
to
amend
the
neighborhoods
2020
framework,
all
those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
aye,
those
opposed,
say,
nay,
the
eyes
have
it,
and
that
motion
carries
now.
We
are
back
to
the
underlying
motion.
A
A
AV
AW
AW
AV
Concentrator
I
think
council
member
Johnson
makes
one
one
good
point.
One
I
disagree
with
I
think
that
if
we
could
move
your
staff
direction,
first
I
think
there's
there's
a
lot
of
support
for
that
going
forward
and
then
I
think
there
was
a
distinction
based
on
the
3-3
vote
of
approving
the
framework
and
not
so
I
think
that
keeping
that
still
having
that
vote
would
be
good.
R
A
Are
actually
two
motions
that
I
would
like
to
make
him
and
I
will
open
that,
so
the
first
is
I
would
like
to
move
forward
the
staff
direction
that
I
have
before
folks
today
here
again,
to
remind
to
remind
everyone
and
I
want
to
actually
make
a
clarification,
because
I
accidentally
put
the
wrong
date.
So
the
staff
direction
is
neighborhood.
A
C
AW
You
mr.
chair
I
just
really
want
to
commend
you
and
thank
you
for
your
leadership
on
bringing
for
this
staff
direction,
which
I
think
is
extremely
responsive
to
what
we've
heard
today
and
respects
the
work
that
so
many
people
are
doing
around
this
and
I'm
really
optimistic
about
the
results.
If
we
get
this
past
of
how
this
could
really
bring
about
the
best
world
for
us
and
the
best
system
possible.
AX
You,
chair,
Cunningham
I
will
be
supporting
this
staff
direction
today
and
I
did
want
to
add
that
to
councilmember
Jenkins
point.
It's
true
that
this
might
be.
You
know
kind
of
coupled
with
with
the
budget
process,
and
so
it
there's
nothing
to
prove
that
prevents
us
from
getting
our
work
done
sooner.
AX
We
can
certainly
all
try
to
do
that
together
and
I
think
it
would
be
smart
for
I,
think
our
neighborhood
association
partners,
Keira
and
NCR
and
others
involved
in
this
conversation
to
really
try
to
to
get
this
figured
out
and
not
wait
until
the
the
28th
for
all
these
final
details
to
come
together,
but
but
I
do
think
that
we
are
incentivized
to
try
to
get
this
to.
You
know
maybe
wrapped
up
around
August
and
September
having
a
robust
conversation
and
mostly
it's
because
I
think
we
are
pretty
close
to
finding
a
sweet
spot.
I.
AX
Don't
think
that
there's
a
lot
of
things
that
we
need
to
address
I
think
there's
some
key
things
that
we
need
to
get
consensus
on
and
perhaps
do
some
negotiating
around
and
some
common
fine
common
pathfinding
but
I
do
I
do
want
to
just
say
that
we
we
don't
have
to
wait
till
the
28th.
We
can
actually
work
with
our
chair
and
with
they're
members
of
them
of
the
City
Council
to
see
if
this
is
work,
that
we
want
to
be
able
to
complete
and
bring
forward
before
the
timeline.
AX
A
You
councilmember
Cano
I
just
want
to
note
that
this
staff
direction
actually
aligns
with
NCR's
proposed
timeline
that
they
already
have.
If
the
framework
were
to
pass
today,
the
guideline
development
process
would
be
still
aligned
with
this
timeline,
so
I
tried
to
make
sure
it
wasn't
too
disruptive
or
extend
extending
it
too
long
outside
of
those
parameters.
A
So
any
other
final,
all
right.
Seeing
no
further
comments.
I
move
approval
of
the
staff
direction.
All
those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
aye,
those
Boop,
those
opposed,
say,
nay,
the
eyes
have
it.
I
have
one
other
motion
that
I
would
like
to
make
just
clean
up
the
agenda,
because
the
staff
Direction
actually
spoke
to
item
1.2,
and
so
I
would
like
to
make
the
motion
to
strike
1.2
from
the
agendas
all
those
a
favor.
Please
signify
by
saying
aye
aye,
those
opposed,
say,
nay,
the
eyes
have
it
and
council
member
Gordon.
A
R
I'd
like
to
move
1.1
as
amended
forward
without
recommendation
to
the
full
council
and
maybe
speak
to
that
just
for
a
second
yes,
please
I
think
it
would
be
well
partly
obviously,
I
want
the
council
to
take
more
responsibility
for
the
framework.
I
wanted
us
to
have
something
that
we
approved,
and
then
it
was
our
job
to
make
sure
we
got
right
as
we
went
through
the
staff
Direction
process,
I
actually
think
getting
something
to
take
committee
of
the
whole
and
to
discuss
that
the
council
could
actually
be
enormous
ly.
R
AV
Straighter
Thank
You
mr.
chair
I,
want
to
echo,
comes
MoMA
garden,
I,
actually
really
like
the
idea
of
putting
it
forward
without
recommendation.
I
want
to
have
this
bigger
debate.
Just
going
back
to
my
earlier
comments,
we
I
feel
like
we
need
to
my
one
concern
with
getting
more
specific
and
the
framework
is
I
have
as
being
part
of
neighborhood
organizations.
We're
gonna
make
it
work.
You
know,
I
think
their
neighbor
organizations
are
probably
one
of
the
most
resilient.
AV
So
no
matter
what
the
framework
is
going
to
come
down
to
with
adequate
funding
and
support,
they're
gonna
make
it
work
for
their
neighbors.
They
have
four
years.
That
said,
my
concern
is:
if
we
get
into
more
specifics,
I'm
concerned,
we
won't
have
the
13
volts
and
frankly,
when
it
comes
down
to
it.
I
just
want
us
to
get
to
that.
To
really
as
a
City
confirm
that
neighborhoods
are
critical
to
the
city
Thank.
A
AY
Explain
stir
chair
it's
my
understanding
and
I
am
I
would
need
that
clarification
from
you.
Then.
The
staff
directive,
you
authored,
which
was
approved
I,
believe
unanimously
on
a
voice
vote,
was
a
substitute
for
item
1
and
2
under
this
issue.
The
item
that
was
before
us
originally
the
resolution
that
included
the
entire
framework
was
amended
on
voice
vote,
but
then,
on
final
vote
to
pass
the
resolution,
as
amended,
resulted
in
a
tie
vote
a
tie.
Vote
means
no
action
was
taken,
so
that's
effectively
saying
that
this
body
did
not
act
on
the
resolution.
AY
Despite
amending
it
then,
and
in
lieu
of
acting
on
that
amended
resolution,
you
adopt
the
staff
directive,
which
suspends
further
action
on
the
framework
pending
the
completion
of
a
whole
list
of
work,
that's
laid
out
in
the
staff
directive.
It
would
be
contrary
to
that
motion
than
to
bring
back
the
framework,
which
was
already
done
all.
A
Right,
thank
you
for
that
clarification.
Mr.
clerk
I
will
say
that
I
believe
that
it
is
within
the
the
spirit
of
the
staff
direction
that
would
be
brought
forward
before
the
entire
council
for
us
to
still
have
a
conversation
about
neighborhood
associations
and
for
all
of
our
colleagues
to
be
able
to
partake
in
the
conversation.
I
think
this
still
provides
that
space
for
us
to
have
a
robust
conversation
so
that
we
can
have
a
conversation
out
in
the
open
with
all
of
our
colleagues.
A
R
It
feels
like
I
got
duped
and
outsmarted,
because
I
had
a
motion
before
that
that
we
agreed
to,
and
then
there
was
a
request
that
I
pull
that
off,
so
that
there
could
be
an
opportunity
to
move
the
staff
direction
and
I
said.
That's
fine
with
me.
As
long
as
I
can
then
bring
my
motion
back
and
it
seemed
like
the
chair
was
ruling.
That
would
be
in
order.
I've
seen
us
many
times
pass
something
fail
on
a
tie
vote
and
we
move
it
forward
to
the
council.
R
R
They
can
refer
refer
it
back
to
committee,
so
it
wasn't
moved
justice
up
I
mean
the
separation
wasn't
moved
as
a
substitute,
but
so
I
think
I've.
My
sorry,
you
guys
had
to
be
exposed
to
me
complaining
and
crabbing.
So
much,
but
that's
just
the
way.
I
was
really
and
I
thought.
I'd
share
that
with
all
of
you.
So.
A
A
A
AO
A
Right
so
so
we
have
this,
so
we
have
already
passed
the
staff
direction
and,
according
to
the
clerk,
it
is
out
of
order
for
us
to
then
reconsider
moving
it
forward
without
recommendation.
The
it
has
essentially
died.
The
the
resolution,
as
is
so
item
one,
and
so
what
we
will
be
bringing
forward
for
further
conversation
to
the
rest
of
the
committee,
will
be
the
staff
directions
that
I
have
before
us.
So
did
you
want
to
speak
more
on
that.
A
A
I
think
that
you
know
that
there's
concerns
around
like
what
does
this
mean
for
the
budget
or
what
does
this
mean
for
neighborhoods
and
it
is
within
it
that
a
they
continue
to
exist
and
be
that
they
are
funded,
and
so
so
just
wanting
to
name
that
as
a
part
of
the
staff
direction.
So
with
no
further
comments
before
us,
I
just
also
want
to
take
a
moment
to
say
thank
you
to
NCR
staff.
This
has
been
so
much
time
and
energy
I'm
very
grateful
for
you
all.
A
You
gave
us
an
amazing
baseline
to
be
able
to
further
with
the
partnership
of
Kiera.
So
thank
you.
So
much
and
I
also
want
to
thank
everybody
for
being
here
today,
for
speaking
your
truth,
for
naming
for
speaking
truth
to
power
and
for
naming
really
what
is
just
the
truth,
which
is
grassroots.
Organizing
that
happens
play
space
through
neighborhood
organizations
is
vital
to
the
vitality
and
the
future
of
our
city
I.
A
My
degree
my
graduate
degree
is
in
civic
engagement
and
I
actually
got
to
study
NRP
as
a
part
of
my
graduate
degree,
so
that
just
goes
to
show
how
impactful
and
recognized
neighborhood
associations
are
from
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
so
I.
Thank
you
all
so
much
for
being
here
and
with
no
further
business
before
this
committee.
We
are
adjourned.
