indigenous
public,
Arts
Commission,
so
we're
so
excited
the
Walker
Art
Center
has
selected
artist
Angeles,
who
stars
as
the
finals
for
the
indigenous
public
art
Commission.
This
is
a
special
project
in
which
a
new
work
of
public
park
is
commissioned
by
the
walker
acquired
for
the
question
and
sighted
in
the
minneapolis
sculpture
garden
in
the
fall
of
2020,
our
great
our
good
friend
Marisa
Ruiz.
F
G
You
superintendent,
gora
and
I'm
happy
to
be
here,
I'd
start
by
saying
that
the
unique
public-private
partnership
between
the
walker
and
the
park
board
is
really
something
that
we
value
greatly
and
it's
very
exciting.
Some
of
you
may
remember
that
in
this
just
this
past
spring
in
june
we
unveiled
the
most
recent
Commission,
which
was
a
project
by
two
khumba
Aiken
and
say
to
Jones
with
so
uni
Guyton
and
she
with
her
poetry,
which
was
a
continuation
of
the
piece
that
they
did
it
nickel
at
malls
20
years
ago.
G
So
this
is
now
the
next
Commission
by
another
Twin
Cities
based
artist
that
were
excited
about
I
thought.
I'd.
Give
you
a
little
bit
of
background
on
how
we
got
to
this
point
and
and
and
a
little
bit
about
the
artist.
So
in
the
summer
of
2017,
after
the
sculpture,
scaffold
was
dismantled.
There
was
mediation
with
the
Dakota
elders
and
among
many
things
that
word
was
discussed
and
agreed
to.
G
In
the
conversation,
the
walker
pledged
to
commissioned
an
artist
to
do
a
new
commission
for
the
walker
campus,
either
in
the
sculpture
garden
or
in
the
world
upper
garden,
which
is
the
land
where
the
Guthrie
used
to
be
to
the
west
of
the
Walker
building.
So
we
made
you
know
it
was
an
open,
and
this
was
a
first
for
the
walker
also
to
do
an
open
call.
So
normally
our
curators
are
actively
seeking
artists
and
identifying
artists
to
work
with.
G
In
this
case,
we
did
an
open
call,
which
was
shaped
by
in
collaboration
with
a
with
the
indigenous
public
art
selection
committee.
So
we
invited
a
group
of
seven
artists,
curators
writers
and
knowledge
keepers
to
help
us
shape
the
call
to
the
scope
of
the
project
and
then
to
help
share
the
the
call
with
the
community.
So
Walker
curators
were
out.
We
did
four
workshops
ranging
from
you
know.
We
went
to
himeji
and
the
watermark
Art
Center
and
different
places
around.
We
did
five
workshops
about
the
call
to
inform
artists
about
how
to
apply.
G
Well,
so
the
so.
This
slide
gives
you
the
list
of
the
participants.
So
this
was
the
committee.
We
didn't
announce
the
names
of
the
committee
at
their
request
early
on,
so
that
they
wouldn't
be
lobbied
by
artists
at
the
time.
But
now
that
the
process
is
complete,
we
are
releasing
the
names
of
who
sat
on
that
committee.
We
had
a
few
people
that
participated
early
in
the
process
and
then
stepped
off
the
committee,
and
then
people
that
came
in
to
do
the
final
selection
with
us.
G
So
I
have
to
say
it
was
a
great
experience
for
us.
I
think
we
all
learned
a
lot.
We
relied
a
lot
on
the
committee
to
share
their
knowledge
of
the
language
and
the
history
and
how
these
the
stories
and
the
metaphors
that
were
being
applied
and
through
the
proposals,
how
you
know
like
how
accurate
they
were,
how
they,
how
they
felt
like
they
resonated
with
that
community.
G
So
there
were
seven
members
of
the
committee,
indigenous
members
of
the
committee
and
then
three
Walker,
curators
and
I,
who
reviewed
all
the
proposals
we
had
over
50
proposals,
which
was
very
exciting,
and
it
was
super
interesting
to
review
them
in
a
meeting
in
June.
We
are
in
July.
The
committee
met,
we
reviewed
all
50
proposals
and
narrative
to
three
finalists
who
we
asked
to
further
refine
and
elaborate
their
proposals
and
of
the
three
finalists
one
was
based
in
Boston.
G
G
So
we're
very
excited
that
we
were
then
able
to
announce
the
name
of
the
finalists
yesterday
in
the
press
so
the
site,
we
have
started
a
conversation
with
the
park
board
about
what
site
I
think
I
can
say
that
Angela
and
we
as
curators,
have
identified
a
site
that
is
in
the
Minneapolis
sculpture
garden
rather
than
the
Wordle
upper
garden.
That
we
thought
was
the
most
appropriate
for
the
piece,
we'll
be
continuing
the
logistics
and
like
viability
of
that
site
in
conversation
over
the
coming
weeks.
But
the
plan
will
be
to
sort
of
work
out.
G
Some
of
that
we're
still
working
on
the
this.
The
piece
itself
is
the
most
important
part.
The
piece
itself
is
inspired
by
the
idea
of
the
significance
of
water.
Taking
the
idea
that
Minnesota
is
the
Dakota
word
for
the
place
where
the
land
reflects
this,
the
clouds
or
the
sky,
so
that
the
pieces
bait
the
structure,
the
form
of
the
piece
is
based
on
sort
of
the
ripple
effect
of
a
drop
of
water.
G
So
there
would
be
a
central
element
with
concentric
rings
that
represent
seven
sort
of
arcs
that
form
circular
circular
sections
from
rating
radiating
out
from
a
center.
That
represents
the
seven
Sioux
nations.
It
also
represents
a
language
journey,
so
there
will
be
language
elements
that
are
embedded
in
these
these
pieces,
which
are
sort
of
a
gathering
space,
almost
a
seating
area
where
it
reflects
the
artists
journey
to
revitalize
the
Dakota
language.
G
So
she's,
an
artist
who's
born
in
South,
Dakota,
lived
in
Michigan
has
come
back
to
the
Twin
Cities
and
as
a
language
idcode
a
language
learner
a
bit.
That's
a
big
part
of
her
sort
of
re-entering
this
place
as
her
home
and
her
community
and
sort
of
re
and
language
itself
for
that
community
and
revitalizing.
That
language
is
a
big
part
of
that
healing
process.
So
she
sees
us
as
a
language
journey
that
people
will
be
able
to
enter
the
piece
and
and
sort
of
it.
G
You
know
whether
they're
a
native
speaker
or
a
language
learner
will
be
able
to
sort
of
enter
the
Dakota
language
through
the
piece.
So
that's
a
big
part
of
it
for
her
as
well,
so
we're
very
excited
I
think
it's
going
to
be
a
great
it's
a
very
poetic
metaphor
for
this
relationship
between
land
language
and
place
and
we're
super
excited
to
move
forward
with
it,
and
the
plan
is
to
move
into
production
once
we
get
in
sort
of
the
site
and
some
of
the
material
sorted
out
and
install
the
piece
next
fall.
G
A
A
Superintendent
is
that
the
conclusion
of
your
report
of
officers-
yes,
is
there
for
baby?
Thank
you.
Are
there
any
questions
for
the
superintendent
and
his
report,
seeing
none
we
will
move
on
to
the
consent
agenda.
I
would
entertain
a
motion
for
the
approval
of
resolutions.
20193
17
through
2019
327,
it's
been
moved.
Is
there
a
second?
Second,
it's
been
moved
and
seconded.
Is
there
any
discussion
on
the
consent
agenda
items
seeing
none
all
those
in
favor
of
2019
317
through
327,
please
signify
by
saying
aye,
aye
opposed
abstentions.
A
H
You
so
I
had
conversations
with
most
of
the
commissioners
up
about
this.
We
do
have
a
pretty
divergent
priorities.
It
turns
out.
So
it's
going
to
be
a
challenge
to
put
together
a
consensus,
ranking
I
inquired
if
we
could
just
submit
our
proposals
without
without
ranking
them,
but
the
Minnesota,
Management
and
Budget
Office
does
require
them
to
be
ranked
and
if
the
board
doesn't,
then
staff
is
going
to
have
to
so
I.
Don't
want
to
put
staff
in
that
position,
so
we
do
have
to
rank
them.
H
I
do
have
an
amendment
proposed
that
would
add
the
de
Mikasa
refectory,
the
reconstruction
of
that
for
two
million
dollars
as
our
top
priority
back.
When
we
had
previous
discussions
about
this,
you
know
it
came
up
that
the
insurance
costs
that
were
getting
from
the
pavilion
the
burndown
aren't
going
to
be
sufficient
to
cover
all
of
that
and
I
was
looking
at
other
creative
ways
to
fund
that,
including
potentially
reconstructing
with
additional
things
on
top
of
it
to
help
cover
those
costs.
I
H
Support
for
that
and
having
successful,
successful
project
that
would
be
the
only
change
that
I
would
make
to
the
ranking,
as
we
have
right
now.
I
feel
you
know.
The
26th
Avenue
North
connection
is
a
real
lynch
printing.
The
critical
project
I'm
excited
to
see
the
project
progress,
progress,
I,
have
Water
Works
and
want
to
make
sure
that
we
maintain
our
relationship
with
Parks
Foundation
and
with
sponsors
that
have
helped
us
get
so
far.
The
Grand
Rounds
missing
link
is
a
really
high
priority
for
me.
That
would
fully
complete
the
Grand
Rounds.
H
You
know
the
vision
that
we've
been
trying
to
accomplish
for
over
100
years,
so
I
really
want
to
keep
that
in
there
I
I
do
have
some
skepticism
of
the
North
Commons
provision,
because
I
I
would
prefer
to
see
you
know
some
some
greater
community
support
and
not
sure
we're
ready
for
it,
but
as
part
of
a
compromise
I,
you
know,
okay
with
keep
get
in
there,
so
yeah
that
that
would
be
my
submission.
Other
commissioners
can
propose
amendments
to
that,
but
so
I
would
propose
to
amend
this
to
read
it.
A
A
J
Present
morn
this
is
this
is
the
hard
compromise
for
me,
because
this
puts
two
projects
that
we
fight
for
on
the
north
unless
I
post
them
behind
them
in
far
too
often,
where
we're
not
getting
enough
done
on
the
north
side,
as
we
can
see
with
a
youth
violence
that
continues
and
the
other
issues
that
we
continue
to
have
so
I
will
not
be
supporting
this
today.
Thank.
A
L
President
Boren
Commissioner
forney
last
year,
the
projects
that
were,
or
it's
actually
kind
of
a
two
years
ago,
was
the
most
recent
normal
bonding
cycle,
but
the
last
time
we
submitted
under
this
process,
the
submissions
were
for
Upper
Harvard
terminal,
which
was
our
top
priority,
and
that
was
funded.
So
it's
no
longer
on
the
list.
We
did
submit
for
a
project
that
we
called
Mississippi
River,
habitat
enhancement
and
public
water
access
and
I
did
not
recommend
that
coming
forward,
because
we
are
pursuing
lccmr
funding
for
a
similar
project.
L
K
Thank
you
for
the
reminder.
I,
truly
believe
that
the
refractory
I
don't
think
it's
called
a
pavilion,
but
we
keep
on
mixing
the
names,
but
I
mean
the
quality
refractory.
It
definitely
is
is
something
that's
very
important.
I'm,
just
questioning
whether
or
not
this
is
the
appropriate
time
to
put
it
on
being
that,
we
truly
do
need
to
engage
the
community
as
to
what
they
want
and
I.
Don't
believe
that
that's
been
teed
up
even
I
I
do
feel
it's
a
high
priority,
but
I
feel
that
this
might
be
premature
in
the
North
comments.
K
K
K
What
truly
is
our
priority
and
I?
Think
that's
what's
being
asked:
what
is
our
priority
and
I'm
not
saying
that
these,
the
other
things
aren't
important?
It's
a
matter
that
we're
being
asked.
What
truly
is
our
priority?
Where
do
we
want
the
push
and
I'm
hesitant
to
have
the
refractory
on
at
this
point
in
time?
I
feel
it's
premature,
because,
since
engagement
to
me
is
so
key,
particularly
something
that
is,
you
know
in
everybody's
backyard,
I
mean
the
refractory
is
everybody's
backyard
and
we
haven't
even
teed
that
up
that
could
take.
K
C
You
president
Boren
I,
this
potential
amendment
being
in
my
district
I,
am
supportive
of
it.
This
is
kind
of
an
unprecedent,
it's
an
area
that
we're
in
and
I
think
that
at
the
most
the
fulcrum
point
of
the
busiest
regional
parks
isthmus
space
in
the
entire
state.
It
warrants
us
to
consider
this
tonight
and
I
hope.
My
colleagues
support
it,
but
I'm
completely
sympathetic
to
Commissioner
C
person's
thoughts
about
prioritizing
areas
that
have
consistently
been
overlooked,
namely
the
north
side
and
I.
H
Next
year
is
the
bonding
bill
and
we
usually
the
legislature,
does
their
bonding
bill
on
the
even
years
like.
Sometimes
they
do
have
a
supplementary
going
on
on
the
odd
years,
but
the
big
one
is
usually
in
the
even
year.
So
this
is
really
our
only
chance
to
get
bonding
funds
for
this
project
if
we
were
to
delay
and
they
didn't
have
a
bonding
bill
and
2021.
The
2022
and
I
certainly
hope
that
we
have
this
reconstructed
by
then
I
fully
agree
that
we
need.
H
You
know
a
lot
of
public
engagement
on
this,
and
this
doesn't
preclude
any
event.
It
just
funds
it.
So
you
know-
and
the
legislature
wouldn't
be
acting
on
this
until
the
spring
so,
and
that
gives
us
time
to
get
that
in
order,
but
yeah
I
do
think
we
should
act
on
it
now
when
we
have
the
chance
I
also
just
want
to
mention
you
know,
what
really
matters
is
our
ability
to
persuade
legislators.
So,
what's
really
going
to
be
consequential
is
the
type
of
work
that
we
as
commissioners
do
you
know
getting
community
support.
A
M
M
M
We
will
be
lobbying
and
other
things
the
city
will
be
coming
forward
with
a
number
Harbor
terminal
request
for
an
additional
two
million
dollars,
I
believe
and
while
it's
not
our
request,
we've
generally
been
very
supportive
of
that,
and
we
will
also
have
a
15
million
dollar.
Hopefully
Metropolitan,
Park
and
open
space
requests,
so
you'll
be
asking
a
lot
of
your
lobbying
cream
already,
there's
probably
another.
Seventeen
million
dollars
not
disclosed
on
this
list
that
you're
ready
asking
for
so
I
think
that
if
you
consider.
E
A
You
lobbyist
writes.
That
said,
we
are
moving
into
open
time
us
we're
going
to
pause
our
current
action,
every
Park
board
meeting
we
have
a
at
a
time
certain
time.
We
have
a
point
on
our
agenda
that
we
call
open
time,
which
is
our
community's
opportunity
to
petition
the
board
or
give
the
board
any
information
that
they
feel
important
for
for
the
board
to
receive.
A
We
have
12
speakers
to
open
time
is
contained
to
a
total
of
15
minutes,
I'm
going
to
give
every
speaker
90
seconds,
so
we
will
be
going
a
little
bit
over
that
a
little
bit
over
that
15
minutes.
There's
just
a
couple
of
a
couple
of
items
and
reminders.
I'd
like
to
make
folks
aware
of
before
open
time.
You
may
have
some
direct
questions
of
the
board.
This
is
not
a
time
that
the
board
engages
in
debate
or
conversation
where
it's
just
here
to
listen.
A
Folks
have
any
questions,
comments
or
concerns
on
those
we
want
to
hear
those,
but
the
most
appropriate
way,
considering
the
sensitive
nature
of
some
of
the
folks
that
may
be
involved
in
those
that
they
reach
out
to
commissioners
or
our
executive
staff
directly
and
all
of
our
contact
information
can
be
found
on
Minneapolis
parks
org.
So
that
said,
I
have
12
speakers
signed
up
for
open
time.
My
first
speaker
is
al
flowers
L.
N
We
can't
we
can't
sacrifice
some
of
the
safety
for
this
and
and
I
would
ask
the
chair
Warren,
let's
figure
out
a
way
to
make
make
this
happen,
make
a
request
happen
without
putting
more
danger
in
our
community
as
african-american
defend
another
slave.
Like
always
say
we
already
forgot
a
pig
and
we
always
gotta
fit
in
something,
and
it
hurts
us
thought.
Sometimes
everything
the
two
commissioners
printing-house
on
saying
is
absolutely
right.
We
need
that
right,
but
money,
but
I
figured
it's
better
ways.
N
It's
other
ways
that
you
make
and
do
this
without
having
a
big
fight.
I,
don't
like
our
community
to
continue
being
the
fight
to
see,
though
we
do
this
or
that
we
we
do
this,
we
got
to
slash
the
police.
If
we
don't
do
it,
then
we
can't
get
the
recreation
that
y'all
did
a
great
job
with
this
year,
so
I
don't
like
being
in
the
middle
of
that,
because
I
know
we
need
tough.
N
We
need
that
safety
of
air,
just
seeing
some
of
the
things,
was
happening
at
the
farm,
so
I'm
agreeing
with
full
completion,
because
at
one
time
that
we
we
do
need.
We
need
that
safety.
This
and
it's
a
big
deal
to
me
that
you
don't
take
something
away
from
us
to
give
us
some.
While
we
can't
have
the
safety
on
both
sides
and
and
right
so
think
about
that
commissioners,
but
we're
getting
to
the
big
bite.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
O
O
Is
a
public
threat
to
withhold
1.5
million
dollars
from
the
Park
Police
budget
I'm
here
to
speak
about
the
people,
the
Park
Police,
Department
I,
don't
want
to
make
it
clear.
We
are
in
a
bunch
of
pawns
that
are
to
be
manipulated
for
the
game.
These
are
people
that
work
in
high-stress
situations
that
suddenly
must
deal
with
the
increased
stress
about
whether
or
not
they
have
a
job
or
their
corks
have
a
job
in
the
future.
O
These
are
educated,
trained,
caring
people
who
want
to
be
part
police
employees
like
myself,
they
like
the
park,
they
love
the
park
system
and
they
take
pride
in
what
they
do.
Couple
examples
here.
Take
officer,
Andrew
Hainan,
for
example,
married
has
a
newborn
son
five
months
old
born
was
such
a
severe
medical
problem
that
he
still
hasn't
been
released
from
the
neonatal
ICU.
O
Yet
after
Heinen
comes
to
her
daily
ready
to
risk
his
life
and
service,
this
park
system
in
2017
officer,
Heinen
and
park
officer
Lynette
hunky
were
nearby
in
the
Parkway
when
Minnehaha
Kadim
exploded,
both
officers
went
into
the
unstable
building
risking
their
lives,
ready
to
help
those
in
need
more
recently.
In
July,
Officer
Heinen
was
instrumental
in
saving
life
of
gentleman
who
had
a
cardiac
incident
at
boom
island.
O
That's
just
one
of
a
number
of
life-saving
events
that
Park
Police
have
participated
in
this
last
year,
sergeant
Katie
cannon
started
as
a
lifeguard,
then
became
a
park
agent
and
was
later
promoted
to
Park
Officer.
She
all
almost
made
the
ultimate
sacrifice
in
August
of
2012
when
she
was
brutally
attacked
and
stabbed.
She
has
his
sex
successfully
overcome
an
incident
and
continues
to
provide
excellent
service
and
dedication.
O
A
P
So
I'm
Matt
Besler
I'm,
the
executive
director
of
Twin
Cities
Pride,
one
of
the
largest
events
in
in
the
city
I,
was
just
informed
by
a
private
citizen
that
you
guys
are
looking
at
banning
single-use
bottles
at
Park
events.
I
totally
understand.
We
have
tried
to
cut
down
on
all
of
the
bottles
that
we
use.
I
understand
how
bad
it
is
for
the
world
we
try,
we
sell
I,
think
we're
able
to
control
we
right.
P
Now
we
sell
pop
in
20
ounce
bottles,
we're
able
to
control
that
by
doing
cans
we
also
I
just
don't
know
what
we're
gonna
do
about
the
water.
You
know
we
have
free
water,
that's
it
each
of
the
pop
stands
we
bring
in.
We
spend
a
few
thousand
dollars
bringing
in
water
drugs.
You
know
premium
water,
cooler
things
that
people
can
refill
their
bottles,
I
just
don't
know,
and
we
sell
bottles,
but
I
just
don't
know
how
we're
going
to
the
water.
P
P
A
Q
Q
We
wish
are
five
to
six
police
officers
and
we
really
miss
them
in
the
recreation
centers,
when
I
went
I
loved
for
ten
years,
I
went
to
a
blooming
Center
when
I
came
back,
I
was
at
Loring
Park
and
a
lot
of
the
people
in
Bloomington
thought
I
was
crazy
to
go
back
to
downtown
Minneapolis
I
called
and
talked
to
lieutenant
goodself
who
at
the
time
said
it's
a
great
park.
You'll
love
it,
and
you
know
we
have
your
back.
These
officers
have
our
back.
Q
Q
If
you
haven't
seen
the
difference
in
who
comes
come
on
to
one
of
our
rec
centers
and
see
how
they
do
having
our
police
in
in
our
system,
I
think
is
one
of
the
huge
reasons
that
we've
had
that
we've
been
given
the
Trust
for
Public
Land
since
every
year
in
the
nation
best
public
mark
in
the
nation
since
2013,
so
please
consider
it
and
don't
make
any
cuts
of
the
park
please
if
anything,
expand
them.
Thank
you.
Thank.
R
You
commissioners,
my
name
is
Abu
Omar,
Haven
Portland
I'm,
here
to
speak
on
behalf
of
a
coalition
of
labor
communities,
of
color,
small
business
owners
and
of
Industry
and
specifically
to
the
single
use
ban
proposal.
This
proposal,
as
it
currently
stands,
would
take
money
out
of
the
pockets
of
black
and
brown
businesses.
That
is
a
fact.
We
have
offered
an
amendment.
R
Each
of
us
received
that
from
me
in
hopes
that
you
would
consider
thinking
about
the
impact
that
this
is
gonna
have,
because
environmental
justice
cannot
be
about
about
punching
black
and
brown
small
business
owners
to
pay
for
the
environmental
justice.
We
want
to
be
a
part
of
the
solution.
We
think
that
there's
a
laudable
goal
here,
but
the
acids
proposed,
does
not
solve
the
problem.
Each
of
you
have
the
amendment
that
I
proposed.
R
So
we
hope
that
one
of
you
will
offer
that
as
part
of
the
considerations
here
today
and
the
last
thing
I
went
there
just
thinking
about
the
enforcement,
how
will
this
be
enforced?
Imagine
a
scenario
a
park
event
where
you
have
two
food
trucks,
one
of
which
meets
the
threshold,
one
of
which
does
not.
How
are
you
going
to
enforce
it?
R
E
I
R
A
S
S
The
tax
levy
I
agree
that
we
need
the
park
police
number
one
they're
more
important
in
youth
programs,
some
what
you
need
to
work
with
the
nonprofit
churches
and
organization,
Teen,
Challenge
and
fraudulent
financial
them
also
work
with
youth
organization
outside
of
this,
the
city
in
the
state
in
in
the
county
and
work
and
organize
programs
to
help
the
youth
not
just
be
the
frontrunner
and
work
with
them
to
make
sure
that
you
got
a
community
progress
going
on.
You
should
raise
taxes
based
on
homeowners
property.
S
I
S
But
I
do
long
and
I.
Hopefully
these
people
are
aware
that
you'll
cease
to
come
up
for
elections.
So
it's
not
a
problem
position.
I
guarantee
this
office.
Once
you
run
again,
if
someone
is
running
against
you,
so
the
people
here
need
the
park.
Police,
don't
cut
them
based
on
your
youthful
judgment,
when
you
can
work
with
other
organizations
to
come
up
with
ways
to
keep
the
youth
go
on
in
the
community
and
have
activities
with
them
outside
of
the
county.
S
A
T
What
are
the
eyes
and
ears
today,
I
had
people
my
parking
lot
when
it
came
to
work,
but
there
are
eyes
and
ears
who
even
what
are
we
gonna
deal
with
if
we
can't
call
them
and
feel
safe?
Where
are
we
going
with?
This
I
mean
we're
reporting
the
things
they're
dealing
with
them,
but
we
need
them.
We
need
to
have
them
out
there,
and
you
know,
as
far
as
I'm
concerned
quit
using
the
kids
as
a
pawn.
We
can
look
at
your
budget
and
find
other
ways
to
save
money.
T
Instead
of
saying
it's
about
the
kids
about
the
kids,
we
can
we
can
look
at
management
and
whatever
you
want
to
look
at
and
I'm
going
to
sit
down,
and
we
can
find
ways
to
save
that
money.
But
we
need
the
Park
Police
and
we
don't
have
enough
as
it
is
cuz
we
a
lot
like
a
lot
of
crime
happens
at
the
middle
of
night
and
then
city
cops,
don't
know
a
lot
of
the
rules.
I've
come
across
it
many
times,
but
we
need
the
Park
Police.
We
cannot
afford
to
go
shorter
than
we've
been.
A
U
Evening,
commissioners,
Joe
Tamborine,
oh
I'm,
downtown
resident
I'm
in
Commissioner,
Cal,
gills,
district
I,
live
downtown
on
Portland
and
second
I'm.
Also
the
chair
of
the
downtown
Minneapolis
Neighborhood
Association
and
a
member
of
the
Hennepin
Avenue
Safety
Committee
I'm,
here
to
speak
against
any
cuts
of
the
police
department
for
a
number
of
reasons.
But
the
major
reason
is
that
this
park
board
has
rightly
invested
and
will
invest
even
more
in
so
many
great
developments,
you're
going
to
be
taking
over
the
Commons.
You
have
Water
Works,
which
is
literally
two
blocks
from
where
I
live.
U
You
might
have
the
amphitheater
at
the
upper
Hart
terminal,
many
many
developments
and
with
those
developments
we
also
have
to
have
a
commitment
to
public
safety
and
a
commitment
to
public
safety
does
not
mean
that
you're
going
to
take
away
resources
from
the
police.
There's
only
35
officers
here
in
this
department
for
what
about
a
hundred
and
eighty
parks,
7,000
acres
of
parkland,
and
they
don't
even
have
the
ability
to
do
24-hour
surveillance.
U
I
mean
think
Ilona's
was
mentioned
tonight,
a
hundreds
of
thousands
of
dollars
that
burned
down
by
negligent
acts
at
approximately
3:30
a.m.
imagine.
If
we
had
police
to
be
able
to
go
24/7
to
go
through
some
of
our
populated
park
areas
or
very
well
known
areas,
so
people
could
Patrol,
so
we
should
not
be
cutting
the
police
also
every
once
in
a
while,
you
hear
about
well,
should
the
park
at
least
be
folded
into
Minneapolis,
Police
Department,
absolutely
not
for
a
hundred
and
thirty
years.
A
V
Name
is
Starla

victory,
Memorial,
Parkway
and
I.
Just
came
today
to
thank
the
park
board
and
the
commissioners
for
a
wonderful
season
at
Weber
natural
pool,
my
sister
Robin
and
I
enjoy
the
pool
almost
daily,
with
daily
swims
at
the
pool.
We
celebrated
the
pool
being
open
every
day
and
we
were
informed
on
Memorial
weekend
about
the
UV
system
installed.
So
we
celebrate
that
and
thank
you.
V
We
celebrated
daily,
the
our
beautiful
global
village
that
enjoyed
the
spool
and
the
we
really
appreciated
that
dedicated
staffing,
the
lifeguards
so
attentive
the
front
in
a
managed
by
James
and
Rhonda.
It
was
all
really
really
good
and
it
was
a
great
summer.
We
can't
wait
till
next
summer.
So
thank
you.
A
W
W
Local

is
newest
business
manager.
I'd
like
to
extend
an
invitation
into
the
conversation
to
help
support
these
things.
I
think
we
can
work
very
strongly
together.
I
stand
with
my
brothers
and
sisters
in
the
Federation
and
asked
me
who
represent
the
park
agents
because
I
think
their
jobs
are
important
as
anybody's
are
so
we
stand
in
support
of
that
and
also
with
Labor's
values
of
supporting
our
youth.
Thank
you
thank.
A
X
You,
mr.
president,
members
of
the
committee
commissioners,
my
name
is
Edward
Breen.
Also
on
the
political
director
for
the
Teamsters
Union.
We
represent
an
excess
of
62,000,
active
and
retired
members
in
the
state
of
Minnesota,
thousands
of
them
within
the
city
limits
of
Minneapolis,
thousands
of
them
they
use
our
park
system.
I'm,
hoping
I
have
the
opportunity
to
really
bring
to
light
the
full
impact
of
what
the
single
use
ban
proposal
could
do
to
Teamster
jobs.
We
have
about
150
members
within
the
the
industry
of
bottling
and
delivery
of
pop
coca-cola
and
Pepsi.
X
You
know
like
I
always
say
the
the
best
way
out
of
poverty
is
a
good
Union
job,
and
while
we
have
a
hard
time
finding
good
union
jobs
these
days
to
lose
them
because
of
this,
without
full
input
from
stakeholders,
I'm
asking
that
you
consider
tabling
or
consider
postponing
this
vote
and
engage
with
the
rest
of
the
stakeholders,
especially
us.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
You,
mr.
Reno,
so
our
next
speaker
is
Judy
long
Judy.
Are
you
here
this
evening?
Okay,
I?
Thank
you
Judy.
That
is
the
is
there
anybody
that
signed
up
for
open
time
who,
whose
name
I
did
not
call
I,
think
I
got
everybody
on
my
list.
Okay,
so
we're
closing
open
time.
We
do
have
a
5:45
time
certain
public
hearing
on
resolutions
on
a
revision
of
our
Code
of
Ordinances
to
correct
some
typographical
errors
in
resolutions,
P
b2
34
and
P
B
10
25
I.
A
Have
nobody
signed
up
on
my
list
to
come
to
speak
about
those
typographical
errors?
Is
there
anybody
here
that
is
interested
in
speaking
on
that
feels
really
strongly
about
preserving
those
typographical
errors?
Is
there
anybody
here
to
speak
on
that
item
on
the
agenda
the
public
hearing
is
opened
and
the
public
hearing
is
closed.
Moving
moving
along,
we
are
back
resolution
2019
3:10.
There
is
an
amendment
on
the
floor
to
include
the
bidet
mikata
bidet
McCosker
refectory,
in
the
top
priority
spot
at
2
million
dollars.
I
had
lost
track
of
speakers
at
that
point.
A
Were
there
folks
that
wanted
to
speak
to
the
amendment
we
just
heard
from
council
rice
I
believe
that
everybody
had
spoken?
Is
there
anybody
else?
That
wants
to
add
anything
to
the
amendment
before
we
go
to
the
main
motion
to
the
amendment
I'm
I'm,
aware
of
adding
a
adding
a
bigger
list,
might
impact
the
quality
of
the
totality
of
our
asks.
I,
given
the
nature
of
an
agreeing
with
Commissioner
Cole
Gale
and
Commissioner
Myer,
one
of
the
most
heavily
used
in
visited
spots
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis
having
fallen
a
tragedy
and
a
fire
I.
A
B
I
A
Y
You
President
Warren,
my
understanding
of
bonding
requests
is
that
they
need
to
be
regional
assets
and
one
of
the
items
that
one
of
the
items
we
have
on
the
list
is
the
North
Commons
regional
vision
and
since
that's
part
of
the
north,
the
service
area
master
plan.
My
understanding
is
that
that
is
a
neighborhood
park
and
not
a
Regional
Park.
So
staff
could
help
me
understand
how
we
can
make
the
case
that
this
is
a
regional
asset
when
we
don't
classify
it
as
such.
I
would
appreciate
it.
Mr.
A
L
L
However,
I
brought
this
forward
as
a
possibility
in
our
board
discussion
a
month
and
a
half
or
so
ago,
because
the
vision
for
this
particular
site
would
make
it
regional
in
nature.
The
idea
is
that
the
new
plan
for
North
Commons
Park,
with
what
would
become
one
of
the
more
premier
athletic
facilities,
recreation,
centers
and
aquatic
facilities
in
our
entire
system,
could
attract
from
across
the
North
Side
and
actually
across
the
region
for
especially
tournaments
and
gatherings,
and
things
like
that.
L
I
will
admit
that
it's
not
as
clear
a
sell
to
the
legislature
as
some
of
our
strictly
regional
projects
are.
However,
I
do
think
that
the
project
as
envisioned
moves
us
toward
a
more
oriented
facility,
even
though
it
happens
to
be
in
a
neighborhood
park,
and
that's
why
I
was
brought
forward
as
a
possibility
and
during
that
discussion
with
the
board,
it
seemed
to
be
well
supported,
and
so
that's
why
we're
in
I
had
included
it
in
the
recommended
list.
Okay,.
L
Commissioner
president
Boren,
commissioner
music,
we
would
not
likely
reclassify
this
park
as
a
regional
park,
because
the
Met
Council
gets
involved
in
that
decision,
and
there
are
certain
acreage
requirements
and
regional
parks,
by
definition,
have
to
have
a
natural
resource
focus.
So
it
would
probably
be
impossible
for
us
to
classify
this
as
a
regional
park.
L
I
think
a
different
way
of
thinking
of
it
is
that
we
do
have
neighborhood
assets
being
non
regional
assets
by
classification
that
do
have
a
significant
regional
draw,
such
as
some
of
our
larger
athletic
fields
like
Boston
field
and
and
even
Bryn,
Mawr,
and
also
the
sculpture
garden,
is
technically
within
a
neighborhood
park
and
not
a
regional
park.
Okay,.
L
M
M
M
About
have
we
receive
funds
for
what,
in
our
system
is
considered
a
neighbor
of
park
with
State
dollars,
and
the
answer
in
addition
to
the
sculpture
garden
would
be
East,
Phillips
Park,
the
building
there
off
of
24th
and
cedar
and
additionally,
the
Phillips
communities
are
that
the
swimming
pool
and
I'm
sure
I
could
think
of
one
or
two
others.
So
it
I
think.
M
Depends
I
think
if
it's
styled
correctly
and
there's
political
support
for
and
it
actually
has
a
regional
draw.
There
are
a
number
of
examples
where
the
legislature
as
a
whole
is
invested
and
what
might
be
considered
just
strictly
a
local
asset
it
it
depends,
it's
happen
in
our
community
and
it's
happened
in
st.
Paul
too,
so
it
can
happen
and
it
takes
extra
effort,
but
it
can
be
done.
Thank.
A
K
I'm
torn
by
all
this
I
really
am
there's
just
a
strong
part
of
me.
That
wants
to
really
focus
on
just
a
couple
of
items.
Make
those
our
priority
focus
on
those
and
be
successful,
and
so
I
would
just
advocate
for
the
top
two
or
that
they're
listed
right
now:
26th,
Avenue,
North,
River
access
and
trail
connection
and
the
waterworks
Riverside.
It's
not
a
matter
that
I
don't
have
interests
or
concern
in
the
other
two
items.
It's
just
I
feel
that
there
is.
K
A
A
Thank
You,
commissioner
Severson.
Is
there
any
further
discussion
seeing
none
all
those
in
favor
of
2019
3:10,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
aye
opposed
abstentions.
There
is
one
the
motion
carries
with
one
vote
in
opposition
moving
on
to
the
administrate,
a
cap
off
there.
We
have
a
time
certain
6:00
p.m.
public
hearing
on
a
repealing
specific
ordinances
of
the
Minneapolis
Park
and
Recreation
Board
that
are
superseded
by
Minnesota
state
law.
That's
an
action!
A
That's
coming
up
on
our
agenda
in
a
couple
of
minutes
again,
I
a
public
hearing
list
with
zero
people
signed
up
to
speak.
Is
there
anyone
here
that
would
like
to
that
would
like
to
speak
during
this
public
hearing?
Is
there
I'm
I'm?
Is
there?
Is
there
anyone
I
can
I
can
I
see
hands?
If
there's
anybody
that
wants
to
speak
eyes,
I
see
somebody
moving
a
little
bit.
I!
Sorry,
I!
Don't
have
your
name
on
the
list,
but
if
you
can
come,
you're
welcome
to
speak
during
a
public
hearing.
A
Z
Thanks
a
lot,
my
name
I'm
gonna,
have
to
ask
beg
a
little
bit
of
indulgence.
My
name
is
Dave.
Alderson
I
was
prompted
to
stop
down
here
and
and
sit
and
I'm
with
the
Cedar
Riverside
neighborhood
revitalization
program,
I'm,
a
resident
of
Northeast
Minneapolis,
but
I've
been
working
on
the
West
Bank
for
30-some
years
and
just
give
me
a
ten
second,
a
synopsis
of
what
we're
talking
about,
because
I
just
walked
in
the
room
and
I
didn't
get
any
information.
Z
A
Z
Public
ordinance,
as
well
I
mean
I,
came
down
here
as
a
representative,
Cedar
Riverside
neighborhood,
to
see
what's
going
on,
I
apologize
for
my
ignorance,
but
I
do
confess
it
at
the
same
time.
We're
in
the
midst
of
you
know
a
lot
of
issues
in
our
community.
We
have
a
lot
of
challenges
for
young
people
and
so
anything
that
we
can
do
to
provide
additional
programming.
Anything
we
can
do
to
take
heat
off
of
young
people
who
are
have
insufficient
infrastructure
and
position
community
resources
to
deal
with
their
recreational
and
educational
needs.
Z
That's
that's
where
I'm
coming
from
and
I
came
tonight
like
I,
say
just
to
put
it
in
appearance
and
and
be
a
voice
on
behalf
of
a
community
and
say
that
we're
you
know
particularly
interested
in
anything
that
might
revolve
around
an
expansion
of
Brian,
Coyle,
Center
and
cooperation
with
the
Minnesota
Park
and
Minneapolis
Park
and
Recreation
board.
Thank.
A
You
thank
you.
Mr.
Alderson.
Is
there
anybody
else
that
is
there
anybody
else
that
was
intending
to
speak
during
the
public
hearing?
Seeing
none
I
am
closing
the
public
hearing
and
the
repeal
of
the
ordinances
that
are
superseded
by
the
Minnesota
state
law.
Moving

Thank.
C
A
Resolution
has
been
moved.
Is
there
a
second
thank
you?
The
resolution
has
been
moved
and
seconded.
Is
there
any
discussion
during
the
during
the
first
reading?
Seeing
none
I
need
a
piece
of
advice
again
from
both
of
our
parliamentarians.
This
is
the
first
reading.
We
if
I
recall
frankly
we're
not
taking
an
actual
vote.
Thank
you,
sir.
Thank
you
parliamentarian
rice.
Is
there
any
discussion
on
the
first
reading
at
2019
292,
seeing
none?
This
resolution
is
held
over
vice-chair
kögel
on.
A
A
K
You
I
am
totally
supportive,
the
renaming
and
I
like
it.
It's
a
wonderful
branding.
My
concern
is
the
procedure.
The
fact
that
we
are
suspending
the
rules,
our
procedure
is
very
specific
and
too
often
we
we
are
suspending
the
rules
and
what
I
would
very
very
much
like
see.
The
naming
and
renaming
of
a
park
or
facility
should
not
be
undertaken
lightly
or
for
political
or
frivolous
and
motivations.
K
This
I
do
not
believe
is
political
or
a
frivolous
motivation,
but
the
fact
that
we
are
suspending
the
rules
to
the
procedure
excuse
me,
I,
find
very
bothersome
and
I
would
like
to
direct
staff
to
look
at
our
procedures
and
is
it
more
situation
that
we
should
change
the
procedures
instead
of
constantly
suspending
the
rules
that
that
is
why
I
will
be
voting
against
this.
But
it's
not
because
I
don't
believe
that
it
should
be
renamed
that,
but
we
have
two
other
items
that
have
come
before
us
asking
for
renaming.
K
One
of
them
is
naming
and
the
other
one
is
rename.
One
is
for
the
boys,
and
one
is
for
the
central
riverfront,
and
these
are
things
that
actually
came
out
of
community
engagement
and
so
therefore
I
just
questioned
whether
or
not
should
we
be
changing
our
procedures.
Instead
of
suspending
procedures,
Thank.
Y
Every
single
name
change
that
this
board
has
undertaken,
has
suspended
our
roles
and
not
involve
the
public
in
the
decision-making,
so
I
I
believe
very
strongly
in
community
engagement.
We
do
that
as
part
of
every
other
planning
effort
that
we
undertake
as
an
institution,
and
we
really
ought
to
be
doing
it
with
naming
as
well.
So
I
would
ask
that
we
break
we.
Y
J
M
C
Certainly,
supportive
of
the
idea
continuing
to
be
consistent
in
our
policies
and
procedures.
I
understand
that
and
I
I
hear
the
concept
around
engagement,
community
engagement,
I,
also
kind
of
interested,
not
wasting
the
public's
time
on
frivolous
Rena
Hemmings
or
that
frivolous
tree
anything's,
but
kind
of
inconsequential
renaming
'z
I
mean
we're
moving
one
interpretive
to
Nature
Center
I.
Don't
see
why
we
would
waste
the
public's
time
with
that
I'm
just
gonna
go
out
on
a
limb
and
say
that
there's
not
gonna
be
a
lot
of
pushback
on
this
one
and
so
I.
E
H
I
Boren
commissioners,
this
was
a
staff
initiative
based
on
programming
at
the
site,
so
we've
learned
over
the
years
in
advertising
the
cronic
interpretive
center.
There's
a
lot
of
confusion
around
that,
so
changing
it
to
Nature
Center
is
a
more
clear
representation
of
what
happens
there.
So
that's
that's
the
intent.
H
E
K
You
just
to
reclassify
I
am
totally
fine
with
the
renaming
I'm
very
serious,
okay.
It
is
the
suspension
and
I'm
not
asking
to
study
this
particular
resolution,
but
to
study
whether
or
not
our
procedures
should
be
looked
at.
I
gave
two
points,
and
that
was
about
the
gorge
and
the
essential
riverfront
both
of
those
had
extensive
citizen
engagement
I'm,
not
in
and
at
all,
encouraging
that
we
could
do
further,
a
communication
on
that,
but
it's
about
procedure
and
whether
or
not
should
we
be
questioning
with
it.
This
is
how
we
want
a
procedure.
K
A
Thank
You
Commissioner
forney
is
there
any
further
discussion
on
2019
at
3:13?
I
do
have
a
question
for
our
the
expert
on
our
policy,
which
I
think
is
deputy
superintendent
Ringgold.
Can
you
walk
through
what
the
procedure
would
be
at
this
point
in
what
would
be
the
most
expedited
way
that
best
possible
speed?
If
we
followed
our
procedure,
when
can
we
make
this
administrative
change.
D
The
first
public
hearing
would
have
to
happen
within
the
first
six
months
of
the
nomination,
and
the
second
public
hearing
would
have
to
happen
within
two
months
of
it
coming
to
the
board
and
in
both
of
those
cases
it
shouldn't
happen
more
than
two
years
after
the
original
nomination.
I
think
those
would
be
kind
of
the
key
points
about
it.
D
There's
some
additional
language
and
the
in
the
procedure
that
talks
about
these
public
hearings
happening
in
the
community
and
then
the
members
who
need
to
be
at
the
meetings
in
order
for
them
to
be
valid
in
terms
of
commissioners
being
there.
So
you!
So.
If
the
correct
people
aren't
there,
then
the
public
hearings
invalid
and
needs
to
be
rehoused.
So
at
this
point
it
would
be
putting
together
the
public
hearings
making
sure
the
appropriate
individuals
are
there.
D
A
D
Should
identify
the
park
site,
Center,
shelter
or
special
facility
to
be
named
or
renamed,
and
then
the
nomination
should
document
the
significant
enduring
contributions
made
to
the
park
system.
This
is
in
the
case
of
it's
a
person
by
the
person
after
whom,
which
the
park
facility
is
to
be
named,
so
in
this
case
it's
not
being
named
after
a
person,
so
that
one
see
item
would
not
be
applicable.
Okay,.
A
And
then
I'm
not
sure
this
resolution,
as
written
I,
could
see
the
argument
that
it
could
be
interpreted
as
a
nomination,
but
I'm
not
sure
if
it
would
be
everyone
to
go
ahead
to
take
a
look
at
that
talk
a
little
bit
about
those
public
hearings
and
if
a
public
hearing
is
scheduled.
It's
my
understanding.
If
somebody
just
doesn't
show
up
that
public
hearing
is
then
canceled.
You
talk
about
who
those
folks
are.
D
D
D
I
D
President
born
commissioners,
I
would,
you
know,
maybe
defer
to
councils
and
if
we're,
if
we
get
deeper
into
this,
but
in
this
particular
case
the
name
already
exists
on
the
amenity.
So
we're
not
actually
asking
to
consider
the
fruits
of
the
work
of
that
particular
individual.
We're
just
changing
the
site
itself.
A
E
E
C
Right,
thank
you.

A
There
is
an

on
the
floor.
Is
there

Is
there
a

to

which
would
add
the

of

a

or

Is

Is

So
it's

The

has
been
seconded

on
the
Amendment's
Commissioner
French.
It's
your
amendment.
You
have
the
privilege
to
speak
first
yeah.
AA
E
AA
AA
I
personally
I
think
we
need
to
start
doing
that
when
we
pass
resolutions
are
started,
offering
resolutions
and
seeing
how
they
affect
different
communities,
adversely
whether
it
be
a
small
business,
whether
it
be
minorities,
whether
it
be
labor
I,
think
we
need
to
really
have
some
real
conversations
about
the
resolution
that
we
passed
in
good
good
intentions,
but
really
think
about
the
vers
effects
of
some
of
those.
Thank
you.
A
H
So
I
have
a
few
concerns
about
this.
I
want
to
learn
more
details
about
which
of
our
vendors
meet
at
the
target,
American
market
program
and
totally
result
sheet.
I'm
also
concerned
about
how
we're
going
to
define
recyclable
products.
I
would
like
that
to
be.
You
know,
very
specifically,
defined
because
plastics
right
now,
almost
all
of
them
are
ranked
one
through
seven.
H
But
if
you
have
a
number
seven
plastic,
that's
not
really
recyclable,
not
number
sexy
they're
like
Panama
County,
take
them
so
I'm
open
to
an
amendment
of
this
kind,
but
I
think
where
I'm
at
is
I.
Think
we
need
to
have
some
further
discussion
about
this.
So
I'm
going
to
vote
against
this
amendment
at
this
time
and
then
proposed
to
postpone
the
full
resolution
to
our
next
meeting
on
October,
2nd
Thank.
Y
Y
C
I
greatly
appreciate
Commissioner
French's
amendment,
my
one
longer-term
concern,
because
I
do
think
that
it
makes
sense
to
postpone
on
this
and
deepen
our
discussion.
A
bit
is
is
that
the
exception
is
in
perpetuity
I
apologize
if
I
haven't
made
clear
enough.
The
the
negative
impacts
of
plastics
on
the
environment,
to
my
fellow
commissioners
and
I
think
certainly
need
to
do
a
bit
more
work
on
that.
I.
Think
that
there's
substantial
precedent
across
the
country
for
for
conducting
this,
even
those
who
have
had
concerns
here
tonight,
testifying
have
said
that
the
goal
is
laudable.
C
If
we
don't
start
somewhere,
we're
never
going
to
get
anywhere
and
if
we
don't
take
the
time
I'm
hoping
soon,
I'm
hoping
within
this
calendar
year
to
work
out
some
of
these
kinks
we're
just
going
to
go
back
to
the
status
quo,
which
is
allowing
the
continuation
of
substantial
amounts
of
what
is
usually
not
recycled
waste,
to
continue
to
infiltrate
our
water
river
ways
and
waterways
and
to
encourage
in
our
governmental
systems
and
in
our
capitalist
system.
The
continued
use
of
these
products
for
capital
gain
at
the
expense
of
our
environment.
C
At
a
time
when
encouraging
carbon
emissions
is
major
debt
detriment
to
the
to
society,
I
find
it
really
concerning
to
to
continue
that.
So
I
certainly
have
some
urgency
about
this,
but
I
very
much
I'm
interested
in
doing
this
with
and
not
for
or
counter
to
our
many
partners
in
the
community.
So
I
certainly
appreciate
everybody
who
came
out
to
to
discuss
this
tonight
and
I
would
be
happy
to
postpone
so
that
we
can
have
a
couple
more
discussions.
Thank.

J
Boren,
what
we
can
reconsider
this
and
not
play
with
the
Northside
like
its
upon
this,
is
in
my
district
in
wonderful,
Northside
and
staff
has
brought
this
forth,
so
there's
less
confusion
and
I'd
like
to
increase
participation,
and
hopefully
the
new
name
of
Karl
W
proning
Nature
Center,
instead
of
the
interpretive
Center.
This
is
absolutely
asinine
that
that
we're
going
through
this
right
now
to
try
to
win

of

not

A

A
Y
A
C
You
when
this
isn't
committee
had
asked
about
the
tree
planting
program
and
after
the
MnDOT
representative
was
here.
I
spoke
with
him
afterwards,
and
he
said
there
were
some
additional
trees
that
were
gonna
be
removed
along
the
one
of
the
buttresses
of
the
bridge
and
I'm
just
wondering
if
staff
has
had
any
additional
conversations
in
MnDOT
Oh
about
that,
were,
if
there's
any
plan
for
for
replanting,
so
we're
not
losing
any
of
these
trees
or
we
may
be
losing
them,
but
they
will
be
replanted
at
same
number.
President
Loren.
AB
Jericho
real
correct
were
sold,
we're
still
in
discussion
with
MnDOT
and
MnDOT
staff.
Okay,
we
have
Chris
here
tonight
if,
if
you
want
any
more
clarification,
some
of
the
vegetation
that
has
to
come
down,
especially
along
the
West
abutment,
relates
to
an
historic
wall
that
you're
trying
to
preserve
and
renovate
yeah.
So
they're,
really
one
thing,
I
think
even
the
from
the
first
time
we
came
to
the
board
when
MnDOT
presented
third
Avenue.
AB
We
just
explained
to
the
board
that
I
thought
MnDOT
was
being
very
forthright
in
their
discussions
with
us
willing
to
work
with
us.
So
even
though
we
don't
have
it
exactly
down
how
many
trees
don't
plant
there,
they're
more
than
willing
to
work
with
us
and
I
think
Chris
Chris
will
not
his
head
to
that.
Unless
you'd
like
to
hear
that.
A
You
Commissioner
Cole
Gil.
Is
there
any

line
update
interim
assistant

of
Recreation
Larry
on

AC
Thank
You
president
Zbornak
commissioners.
Well,
my
thunder
was
stolen
tonight,
Vanessa
Gill,
who
is
our
new
full-service
communities
school
coordinator,
I
call
up
for
a
family
matter
about
ten.
After
six,
so
the
highlight
of
our
presentation,
I
was
going
to
be
introducing
her
in
lieu
of
that
I'm
wondering
a
short
aisle,
but
her
and
I'm
going
to
invite
her
back
to,
hopefully
our
October
2nd
for
beating,
but
just
a
little
background
on
Vanessa.
She
has
ten
years
of
experience
as
a
youth
worker
and
educator.
She
most
recently
worked
for
community
education
with
the
st.
AC
AC
A
Y
There
continues
to
be
issues
with
public
and
private
and
infrastructure
in
this
area
due
to
the
high
levels
of
groundwater
that
we've
been
studying,
how
this
is
impacting
people,
what
potential
things
can
be
done
to
address
it.
The
watershed
district
is
working
on
a
white
paper.
They've
also
hired
the
University
of
Minnesota
to
review
that
paper
as
a
third
party
to
determine
whether
or
not
the
science
is
sound,
and
the
conclusions
are
something
they
can
agree
with.
Y
That
information
should
be
made
available
to
the
public
sometime
early
next
year,
I'm
hopeful
that
we
can
do
our
homework
and
get
to
a
place
where
we're
doing
a
bonding
request
to
help
us
adapt
to
climate
change,
the
2022
bonding
cycle.
We
are
looking
at
an
additional
amount
of
trails
that
will
be
under
water
as
we
continue
to
experience
large
amounts
of
rainfall
in
the
future.
So
I
am
hopeful.
You
know,
I
did
notice
that
many
of
my
colleagues
parks
are
also
really
really
wet
and
experiencing
this
issue
as
well.
Y
So
I
am
hopeful
that
I
will
find
support
for
that,
as
we
complete
all
of
our
master
plans
and
have
a
better
picture
of
what
we're
going
to
do.
Moving
forward,
I've
also
noticed
there's
a
pattern
emerging
amongst
the
the
way
that
items
are
handled
on
our
committee
agendas
and
our
full
board
agenda
in
that
relevant
relevant
items
have
been
moved
from
committees
that
are
chaired
by
people
of
color
and
women
to
those
that
are
chaired
by
white
men.
Pattern
is
concerning
to
me,
and
should
it
continue?
Y
J
I
just
want
to
say
it's
really
unfortunate
that
this
group
doesn't
come
together
more
often
and
get
things
done.
That
should
get
done
without
any
political
Fiasco's.
It's
just
really
unfortunate,
particularly
when
a
member
brings
up
something
that
we
voted
on
and
failed,
and
then-
and
it's
just
it
like
I
said
it's
just
absolutely
terrible
and
I
hope
that
we
can
work
on
getting
more
stuff
done
for
the
Cooney's
part
serving
communities
that
look
like
mine.
I'm,
just
really
disappointed
right
now,
Thank.
K
You
yeah
it's
gonna
act.
A
couple
weeks.
I
was
delighted
to
go
to
the
monarch
festival.
That
is
just
such
a
marvelous
event
and
I
think
staffer
every
day
being
so
much
more
creative
on
engaging
people,
our
vendors
or
tables
I'm,
not
sure
what
to
refer
to
them.
Participants
were
just
so
imaginative
and
all
the
things
that
they
did,
I
with
Commissioner
Koval
and
Commissioner,
music,
and
also
superintendent
pangoro,
was
on
the
bike.
K
Several
other
meetings,
a
one
in
particular,
is
the
Minneapolis
Parks
Foundation.
They
were
very
successful
at
their
sunrise
breakfast
and
fundraising
so
that
they
can
go
forward
for
another
year
next
year
will
be
their
tenth
year
that
the
foundation
has
been
in
existence,
and
so
many
things
that
they
have
touched
in
this
system.
Were
there
successful
efforts
in
augmenting?
K
I
AA
I
AA
AA
AA
AA
It's
not!
These
are
kids,
it's
so
much
easier
to
just
lock
them
up
and
put
them
in
prison,
but
it's
a
lot
harder
than
saying
sit
down
and
talk
to
one
and
have
a
conversation
with
an
accent.
What's
bothering
them
what's
going
on,
we
need
people
in
place
for
those
kids
to
be
around
so
I
heard
a
lot
of
people
come
up
here
and
talk
about
the
police.
The
police
is
not
my
enemy
I,
just
prioritize
our
youth,
the
people,
the
kids
who
live
in
this
city
and
so
for
staff.
AA
If
we
decide
to
reduce
police
in
our
parks,
2%
of
the
crime
that
happens
in
Minneapolis
happens
in
our
parks,
two
percent-
and
it's
real
real,
easy
to
scare
folks
into
thinking
that
we
need
a
lot
more
cops
on
the
street
and
the
only
thing
that
happens
with
when
that,
when
that
happens,
is
people
like
me
go
to
jail
and
I'm
telling
you
I'm,
fearful
of
six
cops
standing
around
then
six
black
dudes
standing
around
I'm,
just
as
a
black
man
in
America.
So
that's
all
I
wanted
to
say
about
that.
Thank
you.
Thank.
C
Even
though
we
have
not
passed
this
resolution,
it
showed
me
that
it
was
not
too
hard
to
turn
over
an
event
and
make
it
single
use.
Plastic
bottle
free
and
there
was
still
ample
water
at
all
these
stations
for
the
nearly
2,000
riders
that
that
morning.
So
that
was
a
lot
of
fun.
It
was
really
great
and
just
really
wonderful
and
big.
Thank
you
to
everybody.
Thank
you
too.
Although
the
police,
who
helped
out
that
whole
morning,
thank
you
to
all
the
staff
were
at
all
the
different
locations
throughout
our
system.
H
You
I
also
wanted
to
share
my
condolences
for
Commissioner
of
Utah
the
loss
of
her
uncle
I'm,
sad
that
I
can't
go
to
the
Niblick
climate
conference
I'm
going
to
be
in
Baltimore
for
an
RPA
instead,
but
looking
forward
to
report
back
from
that
and
any
things
that
you
get
from
that
to
share
with
us.
I
forgot
to
mention
when
we
were
talking
about
the
bonding
but
I'm,
definitely
open
to
in
the
future.
Adding
our
bonding
requests
around
climate
adaptation
to
relocate
trails
and
bridges
to
deal
with
all
the
flooding
that
we're
doing.
H
Please
take
a
look
at
so
I've
asked
chair,
Vita
to
take
that
up
on
her
police
advisory
committee,
for
example,
you
know
we
should
consider
having
a
mandatory
maximum
number
of
hours
that
police
can
work,
because
it's
concerning
issue,
when
you
know
we're
not
keeping
track
of
then,
which
is
the
case
of
the
city,
also
concerns
about
being
paid
in
cash,
which
a
lot
of
other
cities
banned
because
there's
sometimes
corruption
or
at
least
a
perception
of
corruption.
So
a
lot
of
different
issues
that
came
out
of
that.
H
A
Thank
you,
Kesha
Meyer,
vice
president
Hassan.
Yes,
thank
you
twice.
President
I
just
want
to
I
just
want
to
start
off
with
an
apology
to
assistant
superintendent,
barrack
and
his
staff
for
the
amount
of
work
that
they
put
into
the
and
the
taxpayers
in
Minneapolis
for
the
amount
of
work
that
you
put
into
the
Crowell
coning
renaming
item
that
came
forward.
I,
know,
staff
dedicated
a
lot
of
time
on
that
I
would
encourage
you
to.
A
A
I
also
agree
with
commissioners
that
it's
time
to
do
some
work,
and
instead
of
complaining
about
processes,
it's
time
to
do
some
work
and
fix
those
processes
and
I
would
look
forward
to
the
commissioners
that
have
the
largest
reservation
with
those
project
processes
that
there's
a
point
brought
up
to
every
single
time.
It
comes
forward
for
the
last
ten
years
that
they
do
some
work
to
bring
forward.
A
But
the
process
is
important
and
we
can
go
through
this
eight-month
process
as
an
exercise
to
see
the
the
flaws
and
the
things
that
need
to
be
fixed
in
that
process.
A
reminder
that
the
board
of
estimate
of
Taxation
meeting
is
on
September
25th,
where
the
CI,
the
city
will
be
taking
a
vote
on
the
city's
maximum
levy.
A
We've
been
engaged
with
members
at
the
board
of
estimate
and
Taxation
I
think
the
there
is
a
elephant
in
the
room
that
the
mayor
and
the
Park
Board
are
having
a
healthy
disagreement
over
how
much
funding
is
available.
I
do
want
to
publicly
thank
the
mayor
as
I've
said
multiple
times,
I
think
the
conversation
and
the
disagreement
is
a
healthy
one.
The
city
of
Minneapolis
has
a
very
difficult
budget
with
many
competing
priorities.
A
The
there
there's
not
a
thing
in
the
mayor's
budget
that
I
have
reservations
with
I.
Think
the
disagreement
is
around
the
argument
of
scarcity,
I
think
in
a
I
think
in
a
city
that
has
experienced
billions
of
dollars
of
unprecedented
development,
I
agree
with
Commissioner
French
that
the
difference
of
$6
for
our
youth
is
a
is
a
nominal
one
and
we're
continuing
to
engage
with
members
of
the
board
of
estimate
and
Taxation
around
around
that
difference
of
opinion.
A
Should
the
should
the
board
of
estimate
and
Taxation
choose
not
to
raise
the
levy
by
what
I
think
a
lot
of
us
feel
is
a
very,
very
nominal
amount.
Then
superintendent
pangoro
has
a
lot
of
hard
work
ahead
of
him.
I
think
the
priorities
of
this
board
is
make
that
investment.
You
would
I
believe
in
a
holistic
approach
to
the
solutions
of
violence
in
the
city
and
I
think
that
that
I
think
that
that
is
a
investment
in
our
police
force.
A
So
that
vote
is
happening
on
September,
25th
I
hope
it
goes
in
the
direction
that
the
park
board
does
not
have
to
make
some
very
difficult
choices,
because
we
will
see
impacts
across
the
board
and
I'm
sure
different
commissioners
have
different
opinions
of
where
those
impacts
will
come
from
I'm.
Looking
forward
to
seeing
the
superintendent's
suggestions
actually
hope
that
I
don't
have
to
see
the
superintendent
suggestions.
I
think
the
simplest
solution
is
raising
the
levy,
a
modest
amount,
superintendent,
Bangor
II.
You
had
something
to
add
during
petitions
and
communications.
Thank
you
for
appreciate.
F
That
is
also
one
thing
to
say:
the
like
to
work.
One
of
these
experience
allows
folks
out
there
with
very
current,
it's
great
to
see
him
here.
Wanting
to
measure
usage
and,
of
course,
Richard
Cole
Gil,
who
literally
took
off
it
was
gone.
I
have
never
spent
him
as
a
crow,
but
my
son
was
just
in
awe
of
you.
He
said:
what's
it
right
as
a
bike
like
you,
something
I
think
you
finished
32
miles
as
quickly
as
we
finish.
19
so
is
pretty,
but
I
drafted,
I
drafted
myself.
F
The
whole
time
which
got
me
to
my
90
miles
so
but
I
want
to
thank
you,
know
our
Park
staff.
They
did
an
amazing
job.
Recreation
can
be
outreach,
everybody
that
was
out
there
from
staff.
An
amazing
job
so
probably
also
like
to
thank
our
officers,
who
did
an
incredible
job
out
there.
That
day,
I
think
was
not
just
our
Park
Police,
but
other
agencies
that
were
participating
was
incredibly
grateful
for
the
work
that
they
did.
Work
with,
staff
did
and
I
just
wanted
to
probably
say
Top
Ramen
of
the
bike
tour.
A
H
U
H
S
AB
H
AB
AB
And
really
this
program
began
in
2009,
so
in
2000,
since
2009,
so
the
past
grant
award
or
the
projects
really
kind
of
there's
a
full
range
for
us
right.
So
there's
some
artificial
turf
soccer
fields.
There's
improvements
to
our
number
one
baseball
fields,
youth
and
softball
field
improvements,
100%,
accessible
playground
and
park.
AB
Other
playgrounds
approve
its
muscle,
yet
Martin
Luther
King,
whomever
Martin
Luther,
King,
jr.,
Park
tennis
court
renovations,
both
indoor
and
outdoor
swimming
pool,
renovations
and
new
construction,
and
that,
if
you
think
about
those
those
those
two
investments,
kind
of
a
unique
with
in
Hennepin
County,
both
leading
to
providing
teaching,
pool
or
pool
for
teaching
facilities
or
within
our
system
even
for
snow
making
facilities
at
worth.
There
were
some
money
there
and
then
most
recently,
skatepark
money
was
was
given
to
us,
so
in
all
its
really
been
a
boom
for
the
Minneapolis
Park
Board.
AB
If,
if
we
think
about
you
know
almost
twelve
million
dollars
worth
of
projects
really
over
a
third
of
that
coming
through
these
grants
in
the
last
ten
years,
so
it's
been
a
big
help
and
basically
to
augment
our
current
capital
Pro
current
pet
capital
program.
I
just
want
to
highlight
just
a
couple
of
projects
that
this
board
may
be
aware
of.
AB
But
again
there
was
money
that
was
received
in
2014
for
the
Weber
NSP
again
part
of
the
Weber
pool
is
a
wading
pool,
there's
an
open,
swim
area
and
also
a
lane
area,
and
then
our
staff
and
others
have
provided
some
lessons
at
this
facility.
So
it's
been
a
been
a
great
great
boon
for
the
North
Side
and
found
a
great
facility
that
we
have
another
facility
that
we
receive.
Grant
money
for
really
in
in
2016
was
the
improvements
to
the
Boston
field.
Park.
Now
we
had
capital
dollars
to
redo
the
baseball
and
softball
fields.
AB
There
we
applied
for
Hennepin.
U
sport
program
monies
really.
If
you
look
at
in
the
bottom
of
the
slide
to
really
redo
this
multi-purpose
field
across
the
street
from
public
housing,
it
was
an
opportunity
for
us
to
sod
it
so
that
we
could
get
play
so
neighborhood
kids
could
get
on
there
early.
You
would
irrigate
it,
so
it
stays
a
higher
quality
and
that
we
don't
program
that
ie.
We
do
not
rent
out
that
field.
AB
AB
One
of
the
things
that
we
know
right
that
the
second,
the
second
bullet
on
the
Hennepin
County
grant
criteria
is
partnerships.
So
we
look
to
partnerships
when
we
can,
when
we're
trying
to
fund
these
projects
tonight,
we'll
have
one
of
our
partners
here
that
provides
programming
for
Minneapolis
youth,
so
they'll
be
talking
about
that.
But
we
try
to
use
this
criteria
as
we
evaluate
and
bring
potential
projects
forward
to
the
board.
AB
Then,
just
to
kind
of
kind
of
set
the
groundwork
for
which
commissioner
just
Hennepin
County
Commissioner
districts,
kind
of
overlap,
City
Minneapolis
and
a
lot
of
you
may
be
very
aware
of
this.
So
it
could
be
information
that
you
already
know,
but
if
you
look
at
Commissioner
Fernando's
district
district,
two
that
stretches
all
the
way
from
Plymouth
to
st.
Anthony,
st.
Anthony
village,
but
it
crosses
North
in
Northeast,
Minneapolis,
Commissioner,
Greene's,
district
district,
three
stretches
into
Minneapolis
almost
to
that.
AB
What
I'll
call
that
35
W
line
and
then
Commissioner
Connolly's
district
district
4
stretching
down
to
the
to
the
southern
excuse
me
to
fork
towards
Fort
Snelling,
which
is
one
of
our
projects
tonight.
So
when
we
look
at
projects
we're
looking
at
based
on
some
advice
that
we
were
given
over
the
last
10
years
to
really
focus
on
projects
in
each
of
the
Commissioner
districts.
So
when
we
show
you
this
list
in
a
few
minutes
here,
it
will
be
projects
by
debt
by
Hennepin,
County,
Commissioner
districts.
AB
AB
Now
one
of
the
things
that's
interesting
here
is
that
Hennepin
County
has
selected
the
Minnesota
Amateur
Sports
Commission,
as
the
group
that
kind
of
collects
all
of
the
grant
applications
they
order
them.
They
will
do
a
preliminary
review
of
them,
making
sure
that
all
the
grant
materials
etc
are
complete
and
then
they
may
rank
them
based
on
use
participation
or
what
they
see
is
the
value,
and
then
that
list
is
given
to
Hennepin
County
right
for
final
decision.
So
again,
the
decision
of
what
grant
monies
are
issued
come
from
Hennepin,
County,
Commissioners
themselves,.
AB
So
onto
what
projects
that
we're
looking
or
going
to
at
least
present
to
you
tonight
and
look
for
some
feedback
again
as
a
reminder,
there
are
no
decisions
that
you
have
to
make
here
tonight,
so
we're
really.
The
staff
is
really
looking
Mimi
and
I,
and
others
are
looking
for
your
feedback
of
what
you've
heard
out
there,
your
acceptance
of
these
projects
etc.
AB
So
one
thing
that
I
just
want
to
point
out
is
that
the
Park
Board
has
a
current
understanding
with
Minneapolis
Public
Schools,
so
through
2020,
or
for
this
2019
420
application
out
of
20
grant
year,
we
will
not
be
applying
for
projects
within
district
2
or
Commissioner
fernando's
district,
so
you
won't
see
any
projects.
Hence
there's
no
projects
listed
under
district
2
within
Commissioner
district
3,
Commissioner
green.
There
are
two
projects
that
we're
talking
about
here.
One
is
that
parade
ice.
AB
The
idea
is
to
renovate
the
existing
locker
room
into
more
of
a
youth
youth
hockey
training
facility.
Again,
trade
ice
is
the
home
of
what
we'll
call
as
Minneapolis
Youth
Hockey
mean
he
can
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
that.
If
you
as
we
go
through
that,
if
you
have
questions
about
that
particular
the
extent
of
that
particular
project
again,
it's
it's
to
serve
a
broad
range
of
youth
associated
with
hockey
and
skating
and
again
parade
ice
as
a
facility
that
the
park
board
owns
and
operates.
AB
AB
Excuse
me
a
baseball.
What
we'll
call
a
skinned
infield
baseball?
What
this
funding
that
we
have?
What
we're
asking
for
would
be
to
really
regrade
and
make
them
all
natural
turf
multi-use
field
that
could
be
used
by
neighborhood,
kids
and
recreation.
Are
you
know,
kind
of
park
board?
Rec
teams
use
district
for
Commissioner,
Connolly's
district.
We
have
two
projects.
One
is
one
of
our
projects
at
Stewart,
Park
Stewart
Park
was
a
recipient
of
an
earlier
head
of
the
new
sport
grant
to
create
a
soccer
six
field.
For
those
of
you
know,
Stewart
Park.
AB
Well,
it's
a
well
used
field.
It's
a
well
used
facility.
It's
next
to
a
school
in
the
master
planning
process
for
the
south
service
area.
There
was
a
realignment
of
some
of
the
own
area
that
was
designated
skating
and
playground
that
we
could
squeeze
in
another
a
multi-purpose
kind
of
soccer
field
so
again
trying
to
back
some
use
the
using
these
dollars
to
maximize
neighborhood
access
to
athletic
fields
there.
This,
what
we
would
be
constructing
would
not
be
a
field
that
would
be
rented
out.
AB
It's
really
meant
for
informal
play
and
if
you
have
gone
to
Stewart
Park
on
a
Sunday
afternoon
to
see
them
the
number
of
families
that
use
that
facility
that
artificial
turf
facility
now
I
mean
it's
pretty
amazing.
So
what
we're
trying
to
do
in
the
master
plan
and
then
what
these
funds
would
be
to
expand
that
use
in
those
areas?
AB
The
last
project
within
commercial
Connolly's
district
is
really
an
improvement
to
the
fretwell's
and
again
I'll.
Just
give
a
little
bit
of
background
on
at
Fort
Snelling.
We
have
since
2000-2001
the
Fred
Wells
Tennis
Center
is
operated
on
with
a
land
that
they
leased
from
the
Minneapolis
Park
Board
I
happen
to
be
at
the
park
board
when,
when
farmer
or
a
superintendent
emeritus
Anderson
came
a
Merrill
came
forward
with
friend
Wells
to
develop
this
tennis
facility
out
of
Fort
Snelling,
and
the
impetus
was
to
really
engage
with
Minneapolis
youths.
AB
AD
AD
Thank
you
for
this
opportunity
and
thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
be
reconnecting
with
you
for
the
third
time.
Firstly,
on
behalf
of
fretwell's
tennis
and
education
center
community
and
most
of
all,
our
school
partner,

school.
We
thank
you
for
renewing
our
the
lease
agreement
for
another
20
years.
We're
looking
forward
to
continue
in
reaching
our
work
in
the
Minneapolis
area.
In
partnership
with
you
this
evening,
we
ask
for
your
support
with
the
dome
replacement.
AD
AD
AD
Participation
with
a
shared
goal
of
making
spots
accessible
to
our
kids,
regardless
of
zip
code
of
ability,
so
this
mission
of
ours
is
very
powerful
to
all
these
kids
and
I
hope.
You
will
support
what
we
do
out
there
and
again
I
invite
you
to
come
visit
us,
and
we
will
show
you
what
we
do
honestly
and
also
visitors
when
we're
off
site
as
well
and
I'm,
going
to
have
Judy,
lock
our
program
coordinator
to
talk
to
you
about
the
activities
that
we
do
in
your
part,
Judy
OH.
AE
Thank
You
commissioners,
out
for
listening
and
considering
the
proposal,
so
I
am
a
certified
k-6
teacher
and
I'm.
Also
a
certified
tennis
coach
I
have
been
coaching
in
the
Minneapolis
Park
and
Rec
system
for
28
years,
both
as
a
volunteer
and
as
a
coach
I've
worked
at
Powderhorn
Corcoran
Lake
Hiawatha
I'm
currently
employed
and
have
been
for
many
years
at
Lake,
Nokomis,
I
love
it
I,
love
working
with
kids,
both
for
my
teaching
career
and
my
coaching
career
have
intentionally
decided
to
stay
in
Minneapolis,
which
is
where
I
live.
I.
AE
Just
look
like
one
block
from
the
park
itself.
Pretty
easy
in
2004
I
was
able
to
I
was
hired
at
Fred,
Wells
and
I
was
pretty
excited.
I
was
able
to
combine
both
of
my
career.
Is
my
tennis
coaching
and
my
teaching
I
headed
up
the
after
school
program
and
we
served.
We
provide
free
tennis,
free
transportation
to
Minneapolis
kids.
We
work
closely
with
the
Minneapolis
Park,
so
that's
some
of
the
data
I'm
just
going
to
give
you
a
story.
Annie
Olson
is
a
longtime
Minneapolis
Park
board
employee.
AE
She
was
a
worker
at
Sibley
Park,
so
I
walked
into
the
local
all
the
parks
that
are
near
Fort,
Snelling
on
that
side
of
Minneapolis
or
accessible
by
the
light.
Rail
and
I
met
her
introduce
myself
and
she
said
well.
I
have
a
cooking
class
I
have
like
6
middle
school
girls
they're
not
sporty
at
all.
They
really
aren't
and
I
said.
AE
Ok,
let's
do
it
and
she
really
wanted
to
get
them
to
be
sporty,
so
she
would
hop
the
light
rail,
sometimes
with
them
and
come
to
the
centers,
and
we
were
able
to
afford
a
van
kind
of
berry
from
year
to
year.
She
brought
those
girls
and
what
happened
with
those
girls.
We
did
free
tennis
with
them
for
two
nights
a
week
we
did
tests
on
the
courts
and
then
we
also
always
always
have
a
girls
circle.
Every
time
we
meet
talk
about
what
are
the
issues
going
on
at
home
in
their
life
confidence
builders?
AE
We
did
service
projects,
we
did
crazy
things
really
fun
things
for
that
particular
group
of
girls.
What
happened
to
them
quite
a
few?
Well,
almost
all
of
them
went
on
to
play
high
school
tennis
itself
high
school
couple,
who
became
co-captains
one
of
the
girl
who's,
who
at
first
refused
to
come.
She
would
hang
out
with
the
girls
but
not
come
out
to
the
Tennis
Center.
She
also
became
a
captain
for
the
South
high
school
tennis
team
and
joined
the
rugby
team.
AE
So
truly
she
became
a
sporty
girl,
quite
as
2/3
of
those
girls
became
volunteers
at
Fred,
Wells
and
mentor
to
other
girls
in
that
program.
Also,
they
volunteered
at
our.
We
have
a
summer
camp
program
and
two
of
them
became
staff.
So
we
really,
we
don't
just
say
we
do
use
leadership.
We
really
do.
Do
you
lead
ership?
We
keep
up
with
kids
all
the
time
we
pick
them
up
with
their
houses.
We
pick
them
up
at
the
parks.
Transportation
is
always
an
obstacle
for
underserved
youth.
AE
We
are
really
creative
about
getting
kids
out
to
the
Tennis
Center
and
we
get
about
other
places
too.
So
we
do
college
tours
with
them.
We
have
got
scholarships
for
them
at
Gustavus,
College
for
the
tennis
camp,
I,
don't
know
what
can
I
tell
you,
we
love
kids,
we
do
it
and
the
Parks
is
part
of
it,
because
the
connections
I
have
through
coaching
through
the
parks
to
try
to
we
handshake
with
them
at
Fred
Wells,
and
we
just
help
each
other,
so
we're
all
in
the
same
business.
So
hope
you
will
support
us.
Thanks.
AB
Thank
you,
I,
just
don't
finish
up
real
quickly
here.
There
may
be
some
questions
and
comments.
So
just
so,
you
understand
distribution
of
these
projects
that
we're
talking
about
again
they're
within
the
two
districts
that
we'll
be
applying
that
we
feel
that
we
were
able
to
apply,
apply,
grant
for
grant
money
for
again.
AB
The
heavy
use
work
program
grant
application
process
requires
that
the
park
board
be
fiscal
agents
for
agencies
such
as
Fred
Wells
outside
of
the
park
board.
We
operate
as
that
we
would
operate
as
a
LGU.
That
is
why
they're
coming
through
us
for
the
application
last
year,
if
you
remember
that
mighty
done
sorry,
my
mistakes
hockey
dynamites
applied
for
grant
funds
for
their
portable
refrigeration
system
that
went
under
urban
urban
venture
fields.
AB
We
also
were
the
fiscal
agent
for
that
grant,
we're
still
in
the
process
of
negotiating
the
final
arrangements
and
purchase,
but
just
so
the
the
board
understands
that
that
was
another
project
that
came
through
us,
even
though
we
weren't
actually
operating
that
refrigeration
system.
So
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
the
board's
aware
and
will
stand
for
questions
if,
if
you
haven't
it.
H
AB
Chair
Meyer
I'll
tell
you
my
festival,
so
in
2017
there
was
a
green.
There
was
an
agreement
kind
of
formalized
staff
to
staff
the
board
both
boards
agreed
to,
and
they
highlighted
projects
over
a
three-year
period,
nearly
right
that
within
each
of
the
commissioner
districts,
they
happen
to
be
two
years
in
district
in
commissioner
Hennepin
County,
Commissioner,
Fernando's
district.
AB
They
highlighted
projects
and
then
Park
Board
agreed
to
not
apply
for
projects
and
compete
against
the
school
board
within
that
district
and
again,
this
goes
back
to
a
comment
that
I
made
or
that
and
how
we've
been
operating
over
the
last
10
years
is
that
we
try
to
focus
and
and
highlight
one
project
per
Commissioner
district.
So
again
the
school
board
trying
to
partner
with
us
instead
of
competing
against
us,
for
that
we
kind
of
not
apply
for
anything
in
and
in
district
2.
At
this
point,
does
that
help?
Does
that
answer
your
question
Commission?
AB
H
T
H
Y
You,
chair
Myer
I'm,
not
on
this
committee,
so
I
appreciate
being
given
the
opportunity
to
speak
when
I
received
our
agenda.
I
went
back
in
time
and
looked
at
the
historical
committee
that
this
has
been
heard
in.
This
has
typically
been
heard
in
the
legislature
not
typically
been
heard
in
the
admin
and
Finance
Committee,
since
at
least
2013
and
I
would
like
to
understand
why
it
is
instead
being
heard
in
the
intergovernmental
and
legislative
agenda
and
whether
or
not
chair
Ptah
was
consulted
on
the
change
of
venue
for
this
topic.
H
Also
referred
to
first
of
that
and
then
invite
secretary
Ringgold
to
jump
in
I
have
previously
requested
that
the
IDR
committee
be
more
relevant
and
when
there's
a
question
of
which
committee
something
is
assigned
to
that,
if
it
makes
sense
for
it
to
be
an
idea
for
it
to
go
there
and
I
think
it
absolutely
does
fit
that
in
this
case,
because
this
is
something
where
we
are
working
with
both
the
county
and
the
school
board.
So-
and
you
know,
the
admin
committee
has
the
biggest
agenda
out
of
any
of
the
committee's.
H
D
In
fact,
it
wasn't
the
admin
Finance
Committee
we
were
considering
as
the
alternative
to
this
was
the
in
committee,
but
ultimately
landed
on
the
IGR
committee,
looking
at
way
more
than
the
NIH
er
in
general
and
how
we're
trying
to
expand
it
beyond
just
the
state
component
of
it,
but
looking
at
how
it
looks
at
the
relationship
of
the
city
with
the
county,
with
the
school
board
and
other
relationships.
So
that
was
the
choice
we
made
in
this
particular
case
in
terms
of
recommending
to
which
chair
to
look
at
this
particular
item.
Thank.
Y
Y
I,
don't
know
where
it
is.
We
had
previously
asked
for
funding
at
Phelps
for
the
athletic
field,
improvements
in
outdoor
fitness
equipment
we
had
asked
for
$300,000.
Last
year
we
were
not
awarded
that
full
amount,
and
this
project
now
twice
has
gone
out
for
bid
and
we've
had
to
reject
every
bit,
because
we
can't
get
any
any
bids
that
allow
us
to
actually
build
anything
there.
AB
Chair
my
attrition
research
in
the
past,
we
haven't
gotten
back
on
other
projects,
but
if,
if
it's
okay,
it
sounds
like
it,
I
will
reach
out
to
the
Minnesota
Amateur
Sports
Commission
before
the
next
meeting,
just
to
see,
if
there's
a
reapplication,
if
that's
possible,
you're
right,
we
only
receive
5th
I,
think
57th
ow
and
that
phelps
out
of
a
lot
much
larger
ask.
So
we
will.
We
can
I'll,
ask
that
question
and
report
back
to
the
board
here
on
the
second.
Thank.
H
Before
I
call
on
the
other,
two
commissioners
I
had
one
other
thought
to
add
to
the
answer
to
your
question:
Commission
research
I'm
because
now
I'm
connecting
in
to
what
you
said
at
petitions
and
communications
and
I'll
just
point
out,
you're
highlighting
you
know
the
chairs
of
color
and
women,
but
kind
of
erasing.
The
only
gate
committee
chair
so
I
think
that
would
be
a
relevant
thing
to
pay
attention
to.
If
that's
the
kind
of
criteria
we're
going
to
use
mr.
Severson
Thank.
J
You,
chair,
Meyer
and
I
couldn't
agree
with
you
more
so
I
want
to
touch
on
what
Commissioner
you
should
said
as
well.
Phelps
Park
is
a
facility
that
I
was
really
hoping
to
sing
on
here
with
their
field
and
their
high
use.
I
would
encourage
anybody
on
this
board
to
go
there
at
about
four
o'clock
and
see
the
high
use
on
that
field
all
day
long,
particularly
if
you
look
at
it,
I
will
I'm
the
stone
a
guest
out
there.
J
Probably
90%
black
boy
is
playing
on
that
field
and
it
is
packed
all
the
time.
So
I
think
it
would
be
a
great
initiative,
and
there
are
partners
in
that
who
also
want
to
support
that.
It's
not
my
district
but
I'm,
extremely
hugely
supportive
of
that
and
I
hope
we
can
come
to
a
resolution
and
I
would
support
Chris
time
usage
on
whatever
needs
to
make
that
happen.
J
J
K
J
Yeah
I
got
okay
I
apologize
about
that
confusion.
Well,
I'm
extremely
excited
that
you
folks
are
working
on
this.
This
has
been
something
that
I
mean
I'm
gonna
be
transparent,
I,
like
tennis
I
played
it
myself.
It
is
such
a
it's.
A
great
facility,
so
I
I
would
I
would
encourage
this
board.
You
know
I
fought
to
make
sure
that
the
north
side
had
won.
J
We
only
have
one
tennis
court
left
in
the
lower
end
of
North,
Minneapolis
and
and
I
understand
that
skate
parks
are
important
and
we're
trying
to
build,
but
I
didn't
want
to
lose
this
one
asset.
So
this
is
a
great
opportunity
and
a
partnership
and
I
hope
that
we
could
support
this
as
we
continue
to
build
tennis,
not
just
in
Minneapolis
but
hopefully
on
the
north
side
as
well.
K
K
Anyway,
that
I
will
particularly
make
a
shout
out
for
part
painter
park
with
the
Southwest
service
area
master
plan.
There
has
been
a
huge
huge
community
reach
for
dealing
with
the
basketball
courts,
so
I'm
very
excited
about
that,
and
one
of
the
things
they
did
add
is
that
they
would
love
to
know.
Excuse
me
was
at
the
tennis
courts.
They
were
also
anyway.
K
As
far
as
tennis
do
you
do
any
pickleball
at
Fred
Fred,
you
Rick,
G
Wells,
isn't
you
don't
do
any
pick
of
all
I?
Would
just
encourage
you
to
consider
that
you
know
whatever
it's
just
been
something
that
has
been
such
a
growing
demand
and
would
appreciate
you
know,
particularly
if
you're
doing
it
over.
That
would
be
a
real
asset
and
everything
and
I
apologize.
K
This
change
up
of
committees
and
everything
it's
just.
We
want
a
background
on
it
and
yes,
there
has
been
a
change
up
in
a
lot
of
things.
How
to
make
ITR
I
mean
to
make
the
legislative
committee
more
relevant
as
far
as
I'm
concerned,
it's
probably
the
most
relevant
committee
that
we
have,
because
it
probably
does
bring
in
the
lion's
share
of
our
budget,
so
I,
don't
think
that
it's
a
non
relevant
committee
at
all,
but
it's
just
to
have
explanation
of
why
things
are
being
moved
out
of
committees
where
they
have
been
traditionally
been.
K
It
was
helpful
for
us
to
know
to
understand.
I
looked
at
the
agenda
and
I
also
was
like.
Why
is
this
happening,
and
so,
whatever
I
just
wanted
to
give
a
little
bit
further
understanding
of
you
know
where
that's
coming
from
and
I
think.
That's
all
my
concerns
very
exciting
agenda.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
H
It's
right
on
the
border
with
district
3,
my,
but
my
understanding
is
that
it
falls
in
district
4,
so
I
guess
it
would
be
competing
with
the
Tennis
Center
and
but
I'd
like
to
consider
that
and
to
invite
them
to
speak
to
it
at
the
next
meeting.
With
that,
are
there
any
other
comments
or
discussion?
Is
there
a
motion
to
adjourn
so.
