B
Good
afternoon
my
name
is
lynae
palmisano,
I'm
the
chair
of
the
budget
committee
and
I'm
going
to
call
to
order
this
regular
committee
meeting
for
thursday
december
4th.
I'm
sorry
for
friday
december
4th
before
we
proceed.
I
will
note
for
the
record
that
this
meeting
has
remote
participation
by
council
members
and
city
staff
as
authorized
under
the
provisions
of
minnesota,
open
meeting
law,
section
13d
.021
due
to
the
declared
state
of
local
public
health
emergency.
At
this
time,
I'll
ask
the
clerk
to
call
the
role
and
verify
the
presence
of
a
quorum.
B
We
then
had
meetings
all
night
and
all
morning
and
we
haven't
really
had
an
opportunity
to
engage
in
this
work,
but
I
am
convinced
that
we're
interested
in
finding
a
path
forward
so
moving
to
vote
on
item
number
14
today
and
all
the
different
elements
of
it,
I'm
afraid,
would
foreclose
an
an
important
opportunity
for
that
to
happen.
B
I've
suggested
that
we
give
ourselves
just
a
couple
of
additional
days
to
talk,
so
my
plan
for
today
is
that
we
will
discuss
items
1-13
in
the
packet
of
amendments
that
the
clerk
has
assembled
for
us.
I've
heard
from
some
of
you
that
you'd
like
to
be
part
of
those
discussions,
and
we
will
do
so
without
violating
open
meeting
laws.
So
without
objection,
let's
reserve
the
actions
on
discussion.
B
Item
number
14
for
an
adjourned
meeting,
we'll
adjourn
this
to
monday
december
7th
at
1
30
and
take
care
of
it
at
that
time,
as
there
are
no
other
public
meetings
during
that
time.
Are
there
any
objections
to
that
seeing
none
today
we
will
continue
the
work
we
began
yesterday
on
amendments
to
mayor
frye's,
2021
recommended
budget
before
you
today,
you'll
see
a
revised
packet
of
amendments
and
there
was
just
a
new
version
posted
and
sent
out.
This
includes
ones
that
we
didn't
get
to
yesterday
that
have
been
reordered
as
well
as
some
new
additions.
B
B
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair
amendment.
Number
one
is
a
motion
by
council
member
paul
masano
amending
the
2021
mayor's
recommended
budget
in
the
general
fund
for
the
city,
clerk
and
community
planning
and
economic
development
departments,
transferring
a
total
of
one
fte
and
associated
funding
from
the
zoning
land
use,
division
in
cped
to
city
clerk,
legislative
support
and
operations,
division,
effective
january
1
2021
increasing
the
legislative
support
and
operations
division
by
97
000,
reducing
the
appropriation
from
zoning
land
use
by
ninety
seven
thousand
dollars.
D
This
amendment
is
an
effort
to
centralize
the
clerk
functions
that
pertains
to
policy
making
boards
and
commissions
the
specific
fte
to
be
transferred
includes
the
existing
one,
fte
committee
clerk
performing
support
functions
for
the
heritage,
preservation,
commission
and
zoning
board
of
appeals.
The
city
clerk
will
assume
the
full
transfer
of
the
above
named
position
continuously
and
associated
funds
shall
be
budgeted
accordingly.
B
Thank
you.
I
I
will
put
myself
here
in
cue
just
to
briefly
speak
with
this
amendment.
This
was
an
amendment
that
was
really
driven
by
city
staff.
I
really
appreciate
the
work
of
our
city
clerk
and
mr
poor
from
cped
and
formerly
director
corbell
from
civil
rights
to
come
together
and
just
to
see
how
we
best
serve
all
of
our
different
public-facing
boards
and
commissions,
and
the
commissions
that
we
use
the
skills
and
expertise
of
others
in
our
community.
E
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
As
you
requested,
I
just
wanted
to
explain
that
this
proposal,
essentially,
as
mr
intermil
said,
centralizes
and
standardizes
within
the
clerk's
office,
meeting
management
support
functions
for
the
city's
independent
policy-making
bodies.
So
this
would
include
as
an
example,
calendar
management,
the
production
and
posting
of
legal
notices,
agendas,
minutes
and
related
reports
and
other
functions
similar
to
what
the
city
clerk's
office
provides
for
city,
council
and
so
in
addition
to
the
council
and
its
standing
committees.
B
F
B
D
G
Oh
yes,
I
do
my
colleagues,
this
is
opioid.
Epidemic
has
been
hit
heavily
in
east
african
and
native
american
community.
Listening
to
the
health
department
presentation,
they
noted
that
this
is
the
critical
area
in
the
city
and
the
fires.
G
There
was
four
fire
station
that
was
picked
to
pilot
this
program
and
I'm
suggesting
that
this
fire
station,
seven,
which
is
located
on
right
in
the
middle
of
native
american
president
and
east
african
rhythm,
dom
franklin
and
cedar
area,
should
be
the
fire
station
that
that
this
pilot
program
should
take
place.
What
this
program
does
is
it
offers
a
a
resource
center.
G
Any
individuals
who
is
dealing
with
opioid
can
go
there
and
find
a
resource
to
get
help.
There
will
be
a
a
narcan
and
and
just
a
resource
hub
for
a
lot
of
individuals
in
the
area
to
to
walk
to
the
fire
station.
The
location
is
perfect,
so
I
would
ask
my
colleagues
to
support
me
on
this.
Thank
you.
H
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
thanks
to
councilmember
osman
for
taking
up
this
issue,
which
is
hitting
our
community
really
hard.
I
wonder
if
we
could
hear
from
the
health
department.
I
just
want
to
understand
exactly
how
this
fits
in.
For
my
own
information
I
had.
I
didn't
have
time
when
we,
when
we
got
the
amendments
till
now
to
to
follow
up
with
staff
for
questions.
So
you
know
how
does
this
interact
with
the
staff
that
we
have,
that
are
were
intended
to
be
working
on
the
opioid
response?
H
So
so
is
this
city
staffed,
or
is
it
part
of
grant
agreements
that
we
have?
Maybe
the
commissioners
or
health
staff
could
help
answer
some
of
those
questions.
Yes,.
B
I'm
not
sure
who
we
have
from
the
health
department
that
might
want
to
speak
to
this.
I'm
sure
there's
somebody
here,
I'm
present.
I
I
So,
yes,
I
hadn't
seen
this
amendment,
but
I
believe
it
is
just
specifying
something
that
was
already
in
the
mayor's
budget,
which
was
a
pilot
to
be
operated
out
of
fire
stations
to
see,
if
that's
an
approach
that
would
be
helpful
to
use
that
resource
of
fire
stations
for
people
who
are
seeking
help
with
opioid
addiction.
I
And
so
as
council
member
osman
mentioned,
there
were
several
fire
stations
that
were
mentioned
as
possible
locations,
and
so
what
I'm
seeing
in
this
is
just
an
opportunity
to
step
in
and
say:
yes,
let's
choose
this
one,
so
otherwise
it's
there's,
there's
funding
for
the
fire
department,
which
is
predominantly
where
it
would
occur,
and
then
there'll
be
some
training
and
some
resources
provided.
But
it's
already
in
the
mayor's
budget.
I
H
Thank
you.
Okay,
that's
helpful,
and
I
I
don't
want
to
take
time
part
of
why
I'm
asking
is
because
I
do
want
to
do
some
follow-up
with
my
colleagues
related
to
our
our
homeless
response.
From
this
summer.
H
The
health
staff
who
are
dedicated
and
designated
for
working
on
opioid
related
issues
were
the
staff
that
that
were
out
in
the
encampments
this
summer,
and
I
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
actually
fully
staffing
all
the
things
that
we
want
to
make
sure
we're
doing,
and
obviously,
there's
overlap
between
those
two
issues,
but
they
also
each
deserve
their
own
appropriate
response.
So
I
appreciate
the
follow-up
and
you
know
I
can.
I
can
follow
up
with
my
colleagues
about
the
other
issue
as
well.
Thanks.
J
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
just
wanted
to
get
some
clarification,
so
this
is
saying
then
that
it
would
not
be
operating
out
of
fire
stations
four
and
five,
but
just
fire
station
seven.
Is
that
correct.
G
Yes,
as
the
health
director
put.
G
Four
stationists
were
the
possible
pilot
one
of
them.
I
guess
there
was
four
choices,
but
they
had
to
pick
one
at
the
end
and
fire
station
had
to
decide
that
option.
So
I
am
asking
that
pilot
program
should
be
placed
on
fire
station.
Seven.
J
Got
it
okay
and
I'm,
assuming
that
that
decision
is
just
being?
Is
that
decision
being
made
on
data,
and
that
might
be
a
little
bit
more
of
a.
G
Commissioner,
yes,
I
well
for
me
and
my
experience
and
also
listening
to
the
health
department,
that
this
is
the
area
that
is
the
hot
zone
for
opioid.
You
know
usage
and
having
this
area,
and
you
know
right
there
on
east
african
community
and
also
native
american
community.
J
Yeah,
no,
that
makes
sense.
I
went
back
through
and
reread
my
brain
and
remembered
four
five
and
seven,
but
I
go
I
now
it's
I
see
it
says
four
or
five
or
seven,
so
I
I
understand
the
the
clarification
and
just
also
want
to
name
that
this
is
also
hitting
the
black
community
really
hard
too,
that
this
would
not
necessarily
disproportionately
serve
black
folks
in
in
that
same
way,
but
and
that's
not
necessarily
what
I'm
advocating
for.
J
I
just
really
feel
like
it's
it's
worthwhile
naming
because
it's
been
us
really
silent
epidemic
within
the
black
community
here
on
the
north
side
as
well,
but
I
know
absolutely
that
that
you
know
the
concentration
of
what
we're
seeing
is
is
happening
around
that
particular
area.
So
so
I
I
support
this.
Thank
you
for
that
clarification.
K
In
fact
it's
about
a
block
away
from
the
well
of
forgotten
natives
and
where
the
navigation
center
was,
and
then
it's
very
close
to
cedar
riverside,
where
there
and
and
what
we
are
hearing
about
that
area,
both
councilmember
osman
and
I,
and
from
people
who
are
picking
up
the
needles
and
dealing
with
all
the
concerns
that
even
go
all
the
way
down
the
hiawatha
rail
corridor
as
well
and
said
this
is
a
really
significant
problem
there.
I
would
advocate
expanding
it,
especially
if
it
meets
with
any
success
quickly.
K

D
Thank
you,
madam
chair
members.
Amendment
number
three
is
a
motion
by
council
member
osman
amending
the
2021
mayor's
recommended
budget
in
the
general
fund
for
the
community
planning
and
economic
development
department
on
a
one-time
basis
directing
employment
and
training
staff
to
deploy
fifty
thousand
dollars
of
the
2021
budget
for
audio
visual
communication
to
support
work
at
the
cedar
riverside
opportunity
center.
G
Yes,
I
do
my
community
here
in
ward.
6
are
the
lowest
economic
and
income
index
of
the
of
the
city
of
minneapolis.
A
lot
of
people
lost
their
jobs.
During
the
covet
outbreak,
majority
of
the
residents
have
low
paying
jobs
and
jobs
they
rely
on.
They
have
lost
because
of
the
covet
opportunities
center
has
been
see.
The
riverside
laboratory
center
has
been
a
center
where
that
really
worked
for
the
for
the
for
the
residents
in
in
in
ward
six
council
member
warsaw
did
a
lot
of
work.
G
Bringing
this
see
the
riverside
opportunity
center
in
the
community,
and
it's
so
many
great
things.
So
many
you
know
jobs
and
training
and
that
that
has
been
happening
in
this
location.
Community
relies
on
this
location,
but
during
the
covet
and
the
social
distancing,
this
location
has
not
been
getting
food
traffic
or.
G
Or
the
or
the
gap,
so
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
supporting
this
community
that
had
that
kovic
and
the
effect
of
kovit
had
a
huge
hit.
We
are
supporting
the
see
the
riverside
center
opportunity
to
continue
during
these
difficult
times
and
to
put
fifty
thousand
dollars
on
the
budget
for
audio
visual
communication,
which
is
having
a
community
by
a
specific
somali
automo
language
to.
G
Broadcast
and
put
the
word
out
that
the
center
is
open
and
it's
operating
and
really
making
sure
the
great
things
that's
going
on
see
the
riverside
continues
during
these
difficult
times.
My
community
is
it's
bilingual.
English
is
not
their
second
language.
G
I
talk
to
every
department,
any
approach
or
any
model
of
city
of
minneapolis
comes
up
with
either
the
health
department
or
final
prevention.
It
has
to
be
specifically
targeted
to
immigrant
community
and
a
creative
way
that
we
can
support
this
community.
G
So
I
I
thank
you
and
if
you
have
any
question,
I'm
willing
to
answer.

Amendment
number
four
is
a
motion
by
council
members
jenkins
and
cano
amending
the
2021
mayor's
recommended
budget
in
the
general
fund
on
an
ongoing
basis
by
moving
the
cultural
districts,
art
fund
change,
item
from
the
sea
from
community
planning
and
economic
development
to
the
city
coordinator,
increasing
the
expense
budget
in
the
arts,
culture
and
creative
economy
unit
by
one
hundred
thousand
dollars
and
decreasing
the
expense
budget
in
community
planning
and
economic
development
in
the
general
fund
by
one
hundred
thousand
dollars.
B
M
Tuesday,
in
here
all
right,
so
this
is
the
this
connects
to
the
work
that
we
started
probably
a
year
to
a
year
and
a
half
ago
relating
to
the
intent
to
solidify
strengthen
and
grow.
The
arts
related
work
that
the
city
of
minneapolis
is
doing,
and
so
through
that
work,
we've
steadily
studied
the
different
ways
that
the
city's
arts
and
creative
economy
work
happens.
M
You
all
might
remember
that
a
few
days
ago,
I
believe
this
week
at
pogo
we
approved
a
resolution
further
affirming
the
direction
of
that
work
and
sort
of
reminding
us
to
kind
of
collect
it
and
bring
it
back
together
and
and
centralize
it.
So
this
particular
budget
amendment
falls
in
line
with
that
intent
and
that
body
of
work-
and
so
this
is
a
budget
neutral.
M
It
doesn't
increase
any
resources
or
decrease
any
specific
resources.
What
it
does
is
it
sort
of
corrects
the
home
department
of
this
work
so
that
we
don't
continue
to
dilute
the
work
of
the
arts
and
creative
economy,
but
that
we
begin
to
center
it
in
its
proper
home.
M
We
decided
that
it
would
make
sense
to
bring
this
budget
line
item
over
to
the
creative
economy
office
instead
of
requiring
that
the
cpa
department
sort
of
reinvent
the
wheel
and
come
up
with
a
new
series
of
metrics
and
program
guidelines
and
ways
to
administer
the
program.
So
that's
pretty
much
what
it
is.
It's
it's
pretty
a
pretty
straightforward
move
and
would
welcome
additions
or
further
elaboration
from
my
colleague
council
vice
president
jenkins,
if
she
wishes.
Otherwise,
I'm
happy
to
take
questions
or
the
vote.
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
I
don't
have
a
lot
more
to
add
than
councilmember
mcconnell's,
very
succinct
and
and
accurate
representation
of
this
move
and
but
certainly
would
be
willing
to
to
stand
for
questions
if
they
have.
If
colleagues
have
some
any.
B

B

D
Thank
you,
madam
chair
members.

housing.
Trust
fund
change
item
by
one
hundred
thousand
dollars.
J
Yes,
I
would
thank
you,
madam
chair,
so
colleagues,
this
is
to
address
an
ordinance
that
we
passed
at
the
end
of
last
year.
The
tenant
relocation
fees
ordinance.
I
hope
that
you
all
are
still
familiar
with
that
as
a
part
of
that
work.
J
The
way
that
it
is
operationalized
is
that
the
city
fronts
the
money
so
that
the
tenant
is
able
to
access
those
dollars
quickly,
as
they
are
rapidly
losing
their
housing
at
no
fault
of
their
own
and
due
to
negligent
landlords,
and
then
we
assess
it
and
that's
how
we
we
backfill
it
so
in
order
to
actually
operationalize
the
this
ordinance,
we
need
to
have
a
pool
of
money
that
is
available
to
front
it
and
then
essentially
have
a
revolving
fund.
That
is
replenished.
J
J
We
will
move
that
and
create
a
fund
and,
of
course,
this
year
happened
and
we
do
not
have
unspent
dollars
and
so
that
unfortunately,
never
came
to
pass.
So
we
have
been
unable
to
actually
fully
operationalize
this
really
critical
renter
protection,
ordinance
that
that
we
put
into
place
now.
The
logic
behind
this
particular
move
is
that
areas
like
the
fourth
ward,
which
now
is
around
fifty
percent
renters,
which
is
I'm
gonna,
get
into
the
history
of
that
at
some
other
point.
J
But
so
we
have
a
large
amount
of
single-family
homes,
rentals
versus
high
density,
rentals,
so
half
of
north
at
least
half
of
north
minneapolis
does
not
actually
benefit
really
almost
at
all
from
the
affordable
housing
housing
trust
fund.
However,
this
would
this
would
actually
greatly
benefit,
because
what
we
do
know
is
that
the
this
particular
issue
disproportionately
impacts
folks
who
are
living
in
single-family
home
rentals.
J
So
it's
a
way
to
be
able
to
leverage
those
dollars
as
a
way
that
actually
still
would
positively
impact
folks
who
are
not
being
impacted
as
much
as
we
would
like
to
see
through
the
affordable
housing
trust
fund.
This
is
one
time
dollars.
This
is
not
ongoing,
so
that
means
that
starting
in
2022
that
100
thousand
dollars
will
go
back
to
the
affordable
housing
trust
fund.
J
So
this
is
one
time
and
there
it
is
still
the
the
proposed
move
is
or
excuse
me
increase
is
seven
point
three
million
dollars,
so
this
one
hundred
thousand
dollars
would
result
in
about
two
to
four
less
affordable
units.
The
for
2021.
J
However,
the
potential
for
thousands
of
low-income
renters
in
particular
to
be
positively
impacted
by
this
100
000
in
both
the
short
and
the
long
term
is,
is
a
is
a
benefit
for
our
city,
so
I
would
ask
for
you
all
just
please
support
this,
and
this
money
would
be
an
existing
pot,
meaning
what
is
not
spent
at
the
end
of
2022
2021
will
not
be
reverted
back
to
the
general
fund.
It
will.
It
will
remain
so
we
won't
have
to
like
keep
doing
this.
J
So
that
is
this
amendment,
and
I
hope
that
you
all
will
please
support
it.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you,
council,
president
bender
and
then
I'll
put
myself
in
queue.
H
Thanks,
madam
chair,
I
was
a
part
of
developing
this,
but
obviously
I've
worked
on
tenant
issues
as
a
one
of
my
policy
areas,
and
I
really
support
this
move.
I
think
you
know.
Obviously,
our
affordable
housing
trust
fund
is
a
really
important
part
of
our
city's
investments
around
housing
stability.
But
it's
you
know,
and
it
is
a
very
expensive
way.
H
You
know
per
unit,
often
to
help
people
be
and
stay
housed,
and
these
upstream
investments
in
keeping
people
in
their
existing
homes
is
such
an
important
part
of
our
work
to
make
sure
that
people
in
our
city
are
in
safe
and
stable
housing
and
often
for
you
know,
significantly
less
money
per
person
or
per
unit
so
again,
not
in
any
way
to
diminish
the
impact
of
our
long-term
investments
in
building
new,
affordable
housing.
H
But
over
the
years
I've
been
in
office,
we've
added
so
many
more
strategies
for
our
overall
pool
of
funding,
including
preserving
naturally
occurring
affordable
housing.
You
know
tenant
tenant,
support
like
this
one,
and
I
think
again
it's
I'm
going
to
be
just
like
a
annoying
broken
record
on
this
theme,
but
when
we
create
new
policy
or
we
create
new
direction
in
order
for
it
to
be
successful,
we
have
to
resource
it
or
it
isn't
real.
H
B
D
Yeah,
thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
to
council
member
cunningham's
points.
The
intent
is
for
this
to
be
a
revolving
set
of
funds
for
the
tenant
relocation
fee
program,
and
so
in
in
the
haste
to
get
the
work
done.
We
had
put
this
into
the
general
fund.
D
I
think
it
would
more
appropriately
be
the
for
it
would
be
more
appropriate
for
the
expenditures
to
be
budgeted
out
of
the
zero
one:
nine
zero
zero
fund,
the
regulatory
services
special
revenue
fund
and
for
the
100
000
to
be
transferred
from
the
general
fund
to
the
regulatory
services
special
revenue
fund,
so
that
that's
where
the
dollars
could
be
spent
from
that
then
will
allow
the
the
revolving
to
occur
and
for
these
monies
to
to
not
fall
then
back
into
the
general
fund
once
the
assessments
are
made.
D
I
do
appreciate
director
of
regulatory
services
kim
keller
for
catching
that
this
afternoon
and
reminding
the
budget
office
of
that
intent
and
just
wanted
to
reconfirm
with
council
member
cunningham
that
that's
the
intent
and
then
we
can
make
sure
to
clean
it
up
on
the
back
end
as
we
implement
this.
This
budget.
B
F
C
G
C
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair
members.
Amendment
number
six
is
a
motion
by
council
members,
johnson
and
gordon
amending
the
2021
mayor's
recommended
budget
in
the
0-1
snr
fund
for
the
neighborhood
and
community
relations
department
on
a
one-time
basis,
increasing
the
expense
budget
for
neighborhood
engagement
and
support
by
four
hundred
and
sixteen
thousand
dollars
and
drawing
down
the
unobligated
fund
balance
generated
by
interest
earnings
on
unspent
nrp
funds.
N
Certainly,
madam
chair
I'd
be
happy
to
so
colleagues,
council,
member
gordon
and
I
are
bringing
forward
this
amendment
after
working
with
staff
and
identifying
a
funding
source
that
is
supportable
preferable
for
this
work.
This
is
out
of
the
interest
earnings
from
unspent
funds
within
the
ncr
department.
N
N
N
N
Our
plan
says
neighborhood
level,
community,
organizing
and
the
neighborhood
associations
that
support
it,
play
a
critical
role
in
keeping
residents
informed
connected
to
their
community
and
empowered
to
guide
and
influence
decisions
that
affect
their
lives
through
past
and
current
efforts.
Neighborhood
organizations
have
helped
improve
safety,
celebrate
diversity,
build
community,
preserve
housing,
stock,
promote
economic
vitality,
foster
a
sustainable
environment
and
improve
health
throughout
the
city.
N
And
so
what
we
are
asking
here
today
is
not
to
solve
the
whole
problem
during
this
budget.
We
understand
that
there
are
a
lot
of
budget
constraints
right
now,
given
the
unprecedented
revenue
situation
that
we
are
currently
facing.
So
what
we
are
looking
at
is
really
stabilizing
at
25
000
per
neighborhood
for
2021
and
then
asking
staff
to
look
at
some
different
budget
options
that
could
come
forward
to
meet
that
ask
of
three
million
dollars
moving
forward
in
future
years.
N
I
will
note
that
that
would
be
something
that
then
we
would
have
to
take
separate
action
on
in
deciding
whether
we
proceed
with
any
of
those
options.
So
we
are
not
making
any
sort
of
decision
on
proceeding
with
three
million
dollar
increase
in
the
pool
every
year,
starting
in
2022.
N
That
would
have
to
be
a
separate
decision
by
this
council,
but
to
come
back
with
options
so
that
we
could
evaluate
what
are
some
potential
paths
towards
doing
that
within
the
budget.
So
we
think
this
is
a
given
the
pandemic
and
the
revenue
situation
that
we
are
in
and
also
the
needs
around
advancing
this
important
work.
We
think
this
is
a
good
win-win
situation
for
this
particular
budget,
and
we
would
ask
you
to
support
this
and
happy
to
stand
for
any
questions.
B
K
Thank
you,
and
if
the
council
member
bender,
was
in
queue
before
me,
that's
fine.
If
she
speaks
as
well
and
andrew
did
do
a
good
job
of
kind
of
presenting
the
rationale
here.
I
know
that
we've
been
talking
about
the
future
of
our
neighborhood
organizations
for
a
long
time.
At
one
point,
we
all
agreed
on
an
amount
of
base
funding
that
we
expected
given
the
funds
that
we
have
the
recommendation
that
came
back
and
what
they
were
looking
at
for
the
total
amount
we'd
given
them
was
adjusted.
K
I
think
this
is
a
a
modest
proposal
to
try
to
add
to
two
funds
equally
for
next
year,
so
that
we
can
reduce
the
potential
harm
that
it
might
have
on
some
neighborhood
organizations
with
the
reductions
in
funds.
So
at
least
it
will
hold
them
to
25
000
for
the
year
and
then
it
sets
up
an
opportunity
for
us
to
look
more
carefully
into
the
future
and
what
we
could
do.
The
three
million
figure
is
something
that
we've
heard
from
lots
of
neighborhood
associations
and
groups
out
there.
G
Yes,
I
just
want
to
show
my
support.
This
amendment
by
councilmember,
johnson
and
gordon
negro
community
plays
huge
role
in
my
community,
specifically
community
safety
planning,
racial
equity
and
even
as
picking
up
needles
on
the
street.
They
play
a
huge
role.
They
educate
residents
with
tenant
rights
and
advocate
for
the
residents
that
those
that
don't
have
the
voice,
so
we
do
need
to
invest
community
and
people
that
are
doing
the
work
hands-on
and
I'm
here
to
support
this
amendment.
Thank
you.
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
You
know,
as
a
member
of
the
work
group
that
really
worked
hard
throughout
the
year
on
this,
on
this
plan
for
neighborhoods,
2020
and
and-
and
I
might
even
say,
reluctantly.
F
However,
you
know
we
we
really
put
a
lot
of
time
in
in
trying
to
address
the
the
significant
racial
inequities
in
our
nrp
program,
and
I
I
recognize
that
this
is
not
necessarily
a
shift
in
in
budgets.
I
mean
it
comes
from
unspent
nrp
funds.
However,
it
just
continues
to
perpetuate
the
the
same
challenges
that
we've
had
with
the
nrp
program
in
the
past,
and
so
I
I
just
wanted
to
just
point
that
out
and
maybe
even
ask
the
authors
if
they
can
speak
to
that
issue,
a
little
bit.
N
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
I
appreciate
that
concern
because
I
think
that's
on
the
forefronts
of
our
minds
as
authors
of
this,
and
that's
also
why
we
are
increasing
the
equitable
engagement
funds,
so
that
more
work
can
be
done
in
a
racially
equitable
way
around
this,
and
even
when
you
think
about
the
three
million.
If
and
now
that's
you
know
a
whole
separate
thing
like
I
mentioned,
but
even
of
that
the
majority
of
that
goes
to
racial
equity
work
as
well.
O
I
do
think
it's
important
that
we
that
we
honor
the
work
of
the
neighborhoods
2020
group
and
and
the
equity
goals
of
that,
and
that
being
said,
I'm
not
necessarily
opposed
to
putting
more
money
into
neighborhoods.
If
we
lived
in
a
world
where,
where
there
was
just
abundance
and
we
could
fund
everything
that
we
want
to,
it
would
be
somewhere
on
my
list,
but
we
don't
live
in
that
world.
O
We're
in
a
covered
budget,
that's
very,
very
tight
and
we
have
to
make
choices,
and
I
just
want
to
point
out
for
all
of
my
colleagues
that
part
of
the
safety
for
all
proposal
that
we
proposed
moves
crime
prevention,
specialists
into
ncr,
and
so
this
money,
that's
in
ncr,
could
be
used
as
part
of
the
both
and
consensus
funding
proposal.
That
everybody's
looking
for
this
is
money
that
could
get
used
for
mental
health
response.
O
This
is
money
that
could
get
used
to
take
pressure
off
of
that
discussion
if
people
so
chose,
and
so
for
me,
I
am
not
prepared
to
vote
for
funding
for
neighborhoods
over
mental
health
response
and
violence,
prevention
and
police
accountability
that
are
currently
unfunded
in
our
ongoing
discussions,
and
so
I
I
think
it's
you
know.
This
is
something
that
I
wanna.
O
You
know
just
really
lift
up
that
we
we
have
to
make
choices
and
I'm
especially
concerned
about
the
idea
of
just
giving
a
general
direction
to
find
three
million
dollars,
which
is
a
way
of
sort
of
signaling
support
for
something
without
making
any
choices
at
all,
and
I
don't
think
that's
what
we
got
sent
here
for
and
I
actually
think
it's
pretty
inappropriate.
I
I
I
think
that
we
need
to
be
actually
signaling
what
our
values
are
in
a
way
that
lets
voters
know
if
we're
representing
them
or
not.
O
In
this
conversation-
and
I
feel
like
there's
a
lot
of
you
know-
sometimes
the
conversation
about
both
and
turns
into
a
sort
of
wishful
thinking
about
what,
if
we
could
just
kind
of
do
everything
and
I'm
just
gonna,
say
stuff
I
like,
and
so
like.
It's
cool
that
you
like
neighborhoods,
and
that
you
want
to
fund
them,
and
I
like
neighborhoods
too
and
can
see
funding
them.
But
I
just
I.
B
Thank
you.
I
do
want
to
clarify
that
colleagues,
while
we're
speaking
to
both
of
to
this
entire
motion
number
six,
there
has
been
the
interest
in
splitting
them
up,
so
I
would
suggest
we
continue
talking
about
both
the
entirety
of
the
amendment,
but
we
will
take
two
separate
votes
on
it.
Council,
president
bender.
H
Thank
you,
madam
sharon.
Thank
you
for
that
clarification.
Some
of
what
I
was
interested
in
saying
has
already
been
said.
I
guess
I
just
want
to
underscore
council
vice
president's
points
and
leadership,
and
I
guess
I'm
just
concerned
about
the
notion
that
there's
such
a
thing
as
race
equity
work,
that's
separate
from
work.
H
H
I
could
feel
more
comfortable
supporting
the
first
item,
but
we
haven't
reached
that
theoretical
consensus
that
people
say
exists
and
the
second
one
I
I
just
can't
imagine
supporting.
I
mean
I'm
vehemently
opposed
to
asking
our
staff
to
redo
the
work
they've
already
done.
They've
brought
us
their
recommendation.
H
H
I
just
really
take
to
heart
how
much
time
has
gone
in
over
so
many
years
to
trying
to
really
shift
this
system.
I'm
also
a
little
bit,
I'm
very
optimistic
about
the
equitable
engagement
fund
and
the
possibilities
it
holds.
It's
also
new
and
we
we
don't
know
if
you
know
if
it
will
yield.
H
You
know
the
specific
outcomes
we're
looking
for.
I
mean
it's
already
funded
through
the
new
proposal,
and
I'm
I'm
glad
that
it
is.
We
should
fund
it.
We
should
implement
the
recommendations,
so
I
just
note
that
that
dynamic-
and
finally
I
do
want
to
just
say-
because
you
know
this
is
also
part
of
a
bigger
decision
that
I
have
just
seen
such
a
huge
shift
in
my
neighborhood
organizations
in
ward
10
that
serve
some
of
the
populations
that
are
targeted
through
the
new
policy
framework
and
they've.
H
Just
done
such
an
extraordinary
job
with
the
resources
they
have
to.
You
know
really
increase
outreach
to
non-english
speaking
residents
to
really
take
on
like
really
challenging
issues
around.
You
know.
I
H
Stability
and
finding
food
for
people
who
are
going
hungry
in
this
pandemic
and-
and
you
know
the
issues
that
are
facing
neighborhoods
in
ward
10-
are
not
the
same
across
the
board
and
those
organizations
who
are
taking
on
those
really
hard
challenges.
I
think,
is
really
the
purpose
of
creating
this
equity
lens.
So
thank
you
again
for
the
support
for
taking
those
two
separate
votes
as
well.
J
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
so
I'll
just
say
that,
as
the
co-chair
for
the
neighborhoods
2020
work
group,
as
well
as
the
committee
chair
that
has
been
responsible
for
neighborhoods,
2020
and
ncr,
that
I
wasn't
consulted
related
to
this,
which
is
fine.
J
I
I
don't
necessarily
take
that
personally,
but
I
do
think
that
I
have
quite
a
bit
of
work
and
being
in
the
details
of
this
work
now
the
entire
time
and
and
would
have
something
to
offer
to
that,
I
will
say
that
we
had
we
paid
for
a
contract
from
kira
to
do
an
analysis,
and
out
of
that
analysis
was
where
the
recommendation
came
from
to
lower
the
base
funding
so
that
we
had
a
larger
racial
equity
impact.
J
I
support
neighborhood
organizations.
Neighborhood
organizations,
you
know,
speak
in
my
ward,
do
really
great
work.
The
issue
that
I
have
right
now
in
this
very
moment
as
we
are
navigating
these,
but
like
this
various
budget
decision,
these
various
budget
decisions
is
that.
J
Oh,
the
biggest
I
mean
cosmo
reflector
spoke
to
us
the
biggest
thing
that
our
constituents
are
talking
to
us
about
that
are
demanding
around
safety.
Folks
that
prioritize
the
both
and
again
with
the
cps
is
moving.
We
could
have
put
money
towards
training
them.
We
could
for
different
sort
of
neighborhood
mediation
and
restorative
justice
practices
so
that
we
could
be
building
out
that
both
and
that
folks
keep
talking
about
and
don't
see
in
the
safety
for
all
budget.
J
J
Work,
that's
not
life
or
death,
so
that
that
is
a
concern
that
I
have
in
terms
of
our
priorities
as
council
members
wanting
to
make
sure
that
we
are
investing
where
the
money
is
needed,
the
most
and
literally
when
it
comes
to
life
or
death.
I
think
we
should
listen
to
the
recommendations
of
the
steering
committee
around
around
this.
The
in
2021,
the
neighborhood
organizations
will
still
so
I
I.
J
I
think
that
it
would
be
helpful
for
folks
to
understand
that
that
this
is
a
phased
tiering
of
funding.
So
I
think
that
that's
what
I'm
a
little
bit
challenged
with
here
so
I'll
I
mean
I
think
I
might
need
some
better
understanding
of
what
this
first
item
does.
J
So,
if
I
could
get
some
clarification
on
that,
but
then
to
the
second
point
with
the
staff
direction,
you
know
from
my
perspective
as
a
as
a
as
a
policy
maker,
I
don't
find
the
staff
direction
to
be
appropriate
because
it's
our
job
to
do
what
we're
asking
the
staff
to
do.
We
should
be
doing
the
work
of
digging
in
working
alongside
staff
and
then
bringing
forward
that
work
during
the
budget
process
ourselves,
rather
than
asking
staff
to
go
back
through.
J
We
ask
them
to
operate
in
a
budget
neutral
space.
That
is
the
work
that
they've
done
they've.
Given
us
good,
solid
recommendations,
I
don't
support
having
them
putting
them
in
this
situation
where
they
have
to
take
money
from
other
departments
and
put
I
don't
want
to
put
staff
in
that
position?
I
think
that
is
our
job
as
policy
makers
to
do
so.
So
I
I
do
not
support
that
and
further
if
we
are
likely
going
to
continue
to
see
financial
constraints
from
covid
and
also
lawsuits
and
financial
risk
related
to
the
police
department.
J
I
I
don't
feel
comfortable
with
us
prioritizing
finding
three
million
dollars
for
neighborhood
associations
when
right
now,
a
part
of
our
conversation
is
the
private
sector
funding
our
violence
prevention
work.
So
so
that's
that's
my
two
cents
on
this.
I
would
like
to
be
able
to
get
some
clarification
about
how
this
funding
this
base
funding
is
different.
B
Member
the
next
person
in
queue
is
one
of
the
authors.
So
if
he
doesn't
satisfy
your
question
in
his
remarks,
then
we
will
circle
back
to
staff
council,
member
johnson.
N
Thank
you,
madam
chair
yeah,
to
answer
that
question.
It
essentially
has
2
500
for
each
neighborhood
to
the
base,
because
if
you
look
at
what
the
neighborhood
2020
plan
proposes,
it
really
and
what
the
council
approved
the
cpp
stays
in
there
through
july
1st
or
to
july
1st.
So
that's
really
for
the
second
half
of
the
year
that
it
is
touching
the
formula
and
then,
in
terms
of
my
comments,
I
was
on
the
neighborhood's
2020
steering
work
group
as
well.
It
was
there
for
every
meeting.
N
N
That
is
why
we
are
here,
so
it
is
at
best
disingenuous
to
suggest
somehow
that
the
recommendations
that
came
our
way
said
keep
the
total
pool
the
same
in
funding.
That's
not
true
at
all.
It's
our
job
to
look
at
the
pool
and
decide
if
it's
enough,
we
can
see
in
the
outcomes
that
it
is
funding.
Neighborhood
associations,
less
than
25
000
per
neighborhood.
N
If
you
look
at
the
actual
work
that
they
need
to
do
the
extensive
list-
and
I
can
actually
pull
up-
maybe
I'll-
do
that
I'll,
quick
pull
up,
let's
go
over
just
some
of
the
things
that
they
are
are
asked
to
do
and
by
the
way
we
have
to
ask.
Is
it
realistic
to
do
these
things
for
which,
where
we're
headed
is
ten
thousand
dollars
per
neighborhood?
N
That's
ridiculous!
Nobody
can
do
that
for
that
little
amount
now.
The
reason
that
not
every
single
neighborhood
is
going
to
go
under
because
of
that
is
because
there
are
a
lot
of
neighborhoods
that
are
actually
getting
more
through
the
formula.
Given
our
current
pool
and
that's
a
good
thing,
they
should
have
more
than
twenty
five
thousand
dollars.
Every
neighborhood
association
should
have
more
than
twenty
five
thousand
dollars
and
the
funding
should
be
done
in
a
racially
equitable
way
and
that's
the
decision
we
have
to
make
as
policy
makers.
N
My
colleagues
have
commented
about
the
constraints
on
the
budget.
I
get
it
that's
why
councilmember
gordon
and
I
are
not
trying
to
solve
all
of
the
future
years
at
once
and
why
this
is
such
a
modest
in
terms
of
25
000
hundred
dollars
per
neighborhood
adjustment.
So
that's
we're
at
for
it.
I
understand
some
of
our
colleagues
are
gonna
vote
against
it.
I
also
just
gotta
say
I
do
think
it
is.
You
know
fair
to
bring
up
that.
N
You
think
there
are
higher
priorities
and
all
of
that
it
does
feel
a
little
inappropriate
to
me
when
colleagues
say.
Maybe
I'd
be
feeling
more
generous
on
this.
If
we
had
voted
yesterday
for
their
budget
amendment,
that's
a
little
concerning
when
we're
putting
it
in
those
kind
of
terms.
N
I
think
we
can
all
look
at
these
amendments
each
if
you
don't
want
to
support
this,
because
you
feel,
like
your
amendment,
has
more
needs,
or
this
is
a
potential
source
of
funding.
I
totally
totally
get
that,
but
I
don't
want
the
public
to
have
any
sort
of
impression
of
you
know
your
your
support
on
one
motion
or
amendment
is
contingent
on
another,
because
that's
not
the
case,
that's
not
how
we
should
operate.
I
don't
actually
think
any
of
my
colleagues
are
operating
that
I
certainly
hope
they
weren't
suggesting
that.
P
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
you
know
I
I
probably
could
support
some
amended
version
of
this.
I,
when
I
think
about
the
neighborhoods
in
my
ward,
I
think
about
the
fact
that
they're
doing
great
work,
some
of
them
are
doing
great
work.
P
I
also
have
seen
for
myself
and
also
have
heard
from
colleagues
about
you
know
we
have
a
ton
of
neighborhoods
in
our
city
that
are
that
are
known
for
sort
of
generating
the
the
racial
inequities
that
were
that
we're
talking
about
here
and
so
not
every,
and
so,
if
I
was
making
this
decision
based
purely
off
of
what
I've
seen
from
just
from
a
handful
of
neighborhoods
in
my
ward-
and
I
know,
councilmember
cunningham
probably
feel
the
same.
P
You
know
we're
really
satisfied
with
that
work,
but
it's
not
about
a
handful
of
organizations
doing
the
best
work
it's
about
the
whole
and
what
the
whole
is
accomplishing,
and
I
I
do
think
that
that
that
it
might
that
there's
some
version
of
this,
where
it's
appropriate
to
increase
the
equitable
engagement
fund,
so
that
folks
can
apply
for
for
more
money
and
I'm
open
to
some
argument
about.
P
You
know
increasing
the
base
funding
and
how
that
that
sort
of
gets
us
somewhere,
but
I
do
agree
that,
with
everyone
having
to
sort
of
operate
within
some
constraints
that
it
that
it
feels
like
to
do
all
of
this
is
is
a
lot
and
so
that's
sort
of
where
I'm
sitting
I'm
open
to
the
discussion.
I'm
not
fully
there
in
terms
of
my
support
for
for
the
languages
written
and
then
for
the
staff
direction.
P
H
I
think
you
might
have
chad.
I
just
want
to
clarify
my
comments.
It's
been
many
long
days
in
a
row.
I
I'm
looking
at
the
budget
as
a
whole
or
1.5
billion
dollars,
I'm
thinking
about
what
our
priorities
that
I've
heard
during
our
mini
or
eight
hours
of
testimony
the
other
night,
and
that
is
the
lens
through
which
I
am
looking
at
this
and
mentioned
the
difficulty
of
supporting
this
at
this
time
with
so
many
loose
ends
related
to
what
was
the
highest
priority
we
heard
about.
H
I
also
think
there's
lots
of
opportunities
to
invest
these
fun
dollars
that
are
coming
through
the
new
program
and
a
lot
of
the
things
that
we
heard
about
both
at
the
hearings
and
I'm
sure
all
of
us
hear
from
constituents
as
community
needs.
So
I
think
you
know
again
there's
a
lot
of
opportunity
to
use
these
dollars
to
meet
communities.
I
just
have
not
in
a
place
today
to
be
able
to
support
this
proposal.
J
Yes,
it
was
thank
you
I
I
did
want
to
just
briefly
follow
up
and
I
apologize
for
for
jumping
twice
in
the
queue,
so
I
just
want
to
speak
specifically
to
the
staff
direction
that
I
I
won't
be
supporting
this
staff
direction,
not
because
I
don't
think
that
we
should
be
exploring
whether
or
not
we
increase
the
base.
J
I
think
that
it's
not
right
for
us
to
put
staff
in
a
position
to
have
to
go,
dig
into
other
departments
budgets
and
ask
and
find
where
money
is
that
we
could
fill
that.
That
is
our
job
as
policy
makers.
I
feel
like
this
really
is
just
an
opportunity
to
make
like
a
larger
statement
of
we
support,
neighborhood
associations
and
I
support
neighborhood
associations.
I
have
great
neighborhood
associations
in
my
ward.
I
I
just
don't
think
it's
fair
for
us
to
put
staff
in
this
particular
position.
J
We
can
say
we
support
exploring
expanding
the
base
of
funding
if
it's
available
to
neighborhood
associations.
I
think
it's
possible
for
us
to
say
that
publicly
and
on
the
record,
without
having
to
put
our
staff
in
this
particular
position,
when
it's
really
our
job
to
do
that
digging
in
and
to
make
those
hard
choices,
not
them.
I
I
don't
have
an
issue
with
the
first
with
the
first
one.
It's
one
time
dollars.
J
I
I
mean
I
think,
we've
made
the
point
at
this
point
like
public
safety
is
the
the
biggest
priority
and
like
it's
really
hard
to
make
these
decisions
when
we
have
not
made
decisions
related
to
public
safety,
we're
committing
money
to
lower
priorities,
that's
not
life
or
death,
and
that
is
not
me
saying,
because
we
didn't,
we
didn't
vote
in
favor
of
what
I
brought
forward
related
to
public
safety.
J
That's
not
at
all
what
I'm
saying
what
I'm
saying
is
that
that
is
the
top
priority
for
our
constituents,
as
that
was
made
abundantly
clear
after
our
nearly
eight
hour
public
hearing
and
now
we're
making
pretty
big
funding
decisions
when
we
could
be
really
looking
at
this
as
opportunities
against
it
to
build
out
the
bull
fan
that
folks
feel
has
not
yet
been
brought
to
the
table,
so
I
mean
I'll
I'll
support
the
first
first
one
because
you
know,
let's
give
it
a
try,
but
I
mean
I
just
have
to
say
it
doesn't
feel
great
that
we're
putting
it
being
put
into
a
position
where
we're
not
we're
not
prioritizing
that.
J
So
with
that
thanks,
I
appreciate
it.
B
F
B
H
Manager,
I'm
so
sorry
I
was,
I
was
doing
something
else
and
came
back
in.
I
would
like
to
be
recorded
as
a
no
for
that.
A
sure.
Q
C

Thank
you,
madam
chair
members.
Amendment
number
seven
is
a
motion
by
council
member
palmisano
amending
the
2021
mayor's
recommended
budget
in
the
general
fund
for
the
communications
department
on
a
one-time
basis,
increasing
the
expense
budget
in
communications
by
one
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
provide
funding
for
a
temporary
fte
authorized
under
resolution
number
2020
r-284
in
support
of
public
safety
strategies
and
transferring
one
hundred
thousand
dollars
of
cash
balance
from
the
zero
one
snr
fund
to
the
general
fund
members.
D
Just
for
clarification
here,
the
zero
one
snr
fund
is
the
same
source
of
funding
that
you
saw
on
the
previous
amendment.
These
are
this
is
a
fund
that
is
utilized
to
collect
interest
earnings
on
unspent
nrp
dollars,
you're
going
to
see
a
series
of
amendments
now
that
utilizes
that
one-time
funding
source-
and
I
just
wanted
to
mention
that
at
the
get-go
here.
B
B
That
position
was
expected
to
be
in
place
for
the
remainder
of
2020
and
actually
through
2021.
The
action
in
october
anticipated
that
the
funding
for
2021
would
be
appropriated
in
the
budget
process.
So
here
we
are
staff
can
comment
because
they're,
the
ones
that
went
and
suggested
and
found
the
money
for
this.
B
R
Thank
you,
chair,
palmisano
and
mark
ruff.
The
city
coordinator
also
available
is
greta
bergstrom,
the
director
of
communications.
I
think
you
summarized
it
very
well,
madam
chair.
This
is
a
pursuant
on
action
in
october
and
was
contemplated
to
assist
the
the
extra
effort
that
is
associated
with
the
engagement
process
around
public
safety
strategies
that
is
contemplated
through
2021.
B
K
Gordon
thank
you.
I
see
that
we're
transferring
one
hundred
thousand
dollars
of
cash
balance
from
this
zero
one
snf
fund.
Could
I
get
the
total
cash
balance
that
we
have
in
that
fund
right
now,.
D
Chairing
and
council
member
gordon
in

fund.
B
Thank
you
I'll,
just
speak
briefly
to
my
own
motion
on
this.
This
is
more
of
a
motion
from
the
body
as
chair,
I'm
just
carrying
this
work.
We've
heard
presentations
in
the
past
about
what
something
like
this
would
be
comprised
of,
and
there
has
been
an
active
rfp
that
internal
audit
has
been
heavily
involved
in
you
know,
in
helping
to
seek
and
and
weighing
some
of
the
different
alternatives
before
us.
I
do
have
the
audit
director,
mr
patrick
available.
K
D
Thank
you,
madam
chairing
council,
member
gordon.
So
yes,
the
27
thousand
dollar
remaining
balance
would
be.
After
all,
all
of
these
amendments
through
number
11,
were
adopted
a
little
bit
more
about
the
fund.
The
the
nrp
monies
will,
as
they
remain
unspent,
will
continue
to
generate
interest
earnings
and
some
of
those
interest.
Earnings
are
budgeted
to
be
reinvested
back
into
the
neighborhoods
programming.
D
However,
there
any
anything
that
is
not
budgeted
to
be
spent,
there
does
just
sort
of
accrue
in
this
fund,
and
so
this
would
draw
the
the
available
resource.
You
know.
If
all
of
these
things
are
adopted,
it
would
draw
the
available
resource
in
the
fund
down
to
27
000,
but
that
balance
would
have
the
potential
to
grow
and
would
likely
grow
in
future
years.
K
A
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
think
in
light
of
the
questions,
it
would
be
good
to
hear
from
the
budget
director
some
background.
I
originally
I'm
sure
other
of
my
colleagues
have
done
this
as
well,
but
reached
out
to
director
lane,
as
well
as
director
ryan,
about
doing
an
after
action
report.
This
happened.
You
know
much
much
earlier
in
this
year
to
really
look
at.
You
know
what
what
we
can
learn
from
the
action
review,
so
it
would
be
helpful
to
hear
you
know
from
the
director.
B
S
Thank
you,
chair,
paul
masano,
I'm
ryan,
patrick
I'm.
The
interim
internal
audit
director,
so
in
july,
council,
received
a
presentation
outlining
the
steps
to
address
the
city's
response
to
the
summer's
civil
unrest.
S
So
I,
along
with
a
number
of
staff
from
around
the
city,
met
to
determine
where
the
work
could
be
positioned
and
internal
audit
took
the
lead,
we're
a
neutral
party,
not
involved
in
emergency
response
and
we're
used
to
working
on
projects
across
the
enterprise.
So
we
could
be
a
neutral
conduit
to
help
assist
in
the
third
party
review.
S
This
would
you
know
the
project
would
include
both
significant
research
and
work
with
internal
department
staff
who
are
involved
in
the
actions,
but
we
really
stress
the
importance
of
community
engagement
and
input,
and
so
this
project
will
entail
a
lot
of
that
as
well
involves
participation
across
a
lot
of
departments
and
certainly
a
lot
going
on.
So,
amongst
the
bids
we
received
again,
they
were
around
that
amount
and
could
provide
a
significant
amount
of
information
for
the
city.
J
Yeah
thanks,
I
just
took
a
second
thank
you,
madam
chair.
You
know
I'll
just
say
that
you
know
these
sort
of
after
action.
Evaluations
are
really
really
important
so
that
we
can
learn
from
our
mistakes
as
an
enterprise
and
do
better
moving
forward.
However,
they
really
don't
mean
much
if
we
don't
actually
use
them
as
learning
tools.
There
was,
after
the
fourth
precinct
occupation
and
everything
that
took
place
related
to
that
followed
after
mark
clark
was
murdered.
J
There
was
a
lot
of
those
recommendations
and
a
lot
of
that
insight
was
not
really
taken
seriously
or
implemented.
So
I
would
just
really
strongly
encourage
folks,
like,
as
we
are
investing
this
money
that
we
actually
are
also
committing
to
taking
that
information
and
doing
something
with
it,
or
else
that
is
230
000
that
was
put
towards
something
that
is
now
a
document.
J
I
can't
really
say
collecting
dust
on
a
bookshelf,
but
collecting
dust
in
a
file
folder
on
a
computer.
I
don't
know
like
we
have
to
actually
take
what
we
get
from
this
and
really
do
something
with
it
and
change
our
operations,
reorient
ourselves
change
paradigms
where
necessary.
So
I
just
really
want
to
say
that,
like
my
vote,
my
vote
yes,
for
this
is
also
voting.
J
F
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
mean
I'm
sorry,
madam
chair,
I
am
really
I
I
don't
know
if
I
can
support
this
because
we
are
not,
I
mean
the
civil
unrest
has
not
ended.
I
I
have
a
autonomous
zone
in
my
ward,
that
is
a
direct
result
from
the
civil
unrest
and
that
situation
has
not
resolved,
and
so
we
can't
do
a
audit
of
the
after
action
review
until
after
the
action
and
the
action
is
still
happening
right
now,.
B
H
Thanks
manager,
I
guess
I'm
curious:
isn't
there
an
opportunity
to
approach
the
new
department
of
justice
administration
for
the
kind
of
after-action
report
that
they
would
have
typically
provided
to
cities
in
the
past?
I
know
we
have
had
a
challenging
four
years
in
a
really
different
scenario,
but
after
jamar
clark
was
killed
and
the
situation
at
the
fourth
precinct,
the
department
of
justice
completed
an
after-action
report.
H
So
I
guess
why
don't
we
just
wait
and
see?
I
mean
why
don't
we
ask
the
new
department
of
justice
to
take
this
on?
This
must
be
a
very
high
priority
for
for
them,
given
the
national
and
international
impact
it
had.
B
Sure
I'm
going
to
ask
director
patrick
to
respond
to
some
of
these
questions.
Mr
patrick.
S
Thank
you,
chair,
palmisano,
to
come
to
member
cunningham's
point
I
think
positioning
this
work
in
internal
audit
is
a
good
idea.
We
have
a
long
history
and
it's
part
of
our
our
business
practices
to
follow
up
on
all
recommendations
and
reports
and
make
sure
that
they're
implemented
it's
just
part
of
the
audit
process.
B
S
The
scope
of
the
project
was
limited
to
the
actions
between
the
25th
of
may
and
the
3rd
of
june,
but
I
would
note
that,
obviously,
what
occurred
then
will
obviously
have
ramifications
moving
forward
and
how
we
respond
to
future
events.
But
this
this
after
action
was
review,
was
scoped
for
that
time
period.
B
Thank
you.
I
appreciate
some
of
the
things
that
I've
heard
in
some
of
these
updates
that
who
we
consider
as
part
of
the
stakeholders
to
go
in
to
go
out
and
speak
to
about
something
like
this
is
not
just
official
jurisdictions.
It's
not
just
employees
of
for
first
responder
organizations,
but
one
of
the
great
and
important
stakeholders
to
get
their
view
and
input
on
and
how
we
might
do
better
in
the
future
are
people
in
the
community
and
that's
just
something
that
I've
not
seen
before
in
an
after-action
review.
So
I
really
appreciated
that.
B
The
other
piece
is
that
I
think
the
eagerness
to
get
started
was
so
that
we
could
loop
back
and
we
could
learn
from
it.
I
go
in
with
the
same
questions
and
concerns
that
you
do
council
member
cunningham
about
not
wanting
this
just
to
be
a
nice
huge
document
that
isn't
actually
used
and
isn't
actually
used
to
improve
things.
B
I
you
know
this.
Isn't
something
that
has
been
my
own
project
by
any
means?
My
understanding
is
that
this
was
the
will
of
the
council.
So
if
that
isn't
the
case,
then
that's
then
that's
fine
too.
Council,
president
bender.
H
Yeah
thanks
man,
I'm
sure
I
remember
that
conversation
too
and
I
think
it
was
initiated
because
we
were
turned
down
for
applications
from
kind
of
the
normal
processes.
At
least
that's
what
I
remember
our
director
of
emergency
management
reporting
out.
I
guess,
can
I
can
you
share
more
information
about
the
scope
or
staff,
the
scope
of
this?
Is
it
and
and
what
actions
it's
intended
to
review,
and
let
me
know
if
that's
not
specific
enough,
I'm
happy
to
provide
more.
S
Yeah,
so
it
is
intended
to
review
primarily
the
actions
of
police,
fire,
9-1-1
office
of
emergency
management,
city
leadership
and
mutual
aid
and
supporting
agencies,
so
the
actions
that
were
taken
as
a
response
to
the
civil
unrest
that
occurred
during
that
time
period,
primarily
one
of
the
first
items,
is
developing
a
comprehensive
timeline
of
all
the
activities
that
took
place
during
that
time
period
and
then
delving
into
each
of
those
items
in
the
decision-making
that
occurred
to
really
flesh
out
how
things
played
out
as
they
did.
S
No
council
president
bender
this.
This
includes
the
actions
following
the
death
of
george
floyd,
so
this
that
review
of
that
incident
is
not
not
a
part
of
this
project.
H
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
do
want
to
affirm
that
I
am
absolutely
supportive
of
doing
a
after
action
review.
I
really
so.
How
would
we
review
this?
This
scenario
of
the
at
at
this
point,
six
months
of
quote
civil
unrest
and
and
the
lack
of
response
or
or
how?
How
how?
How
will
we
figure
out
what
were
the
best
practices?
What
were
the
the
mistakes,
the
missteps
that
we
made
along
the
way?
S
So,
amongst
the
various
proposals,
we
have
a
variety
of
national
experts
in
emergency
response.
Fire
public
safety
who've
worked
on
these
types
of
projects
before
so
they
would
be
conducting
the
assessment
and
comparing
it
to
both
best
practices
and
kind
of
emerging
trends
and
handling
situations
such
as
the
one
that
happened
this
summer.
S
So
they
would
be
providing
the
feedback
back
to
the
city,
but
after
extensive
conversations
and
meetings
and
and
work
with
city
staff
to
truly
understand
what
happened
along
with
the
community
and
and
certainly,
I
think,
requesting
whoever
is
selected
to
come
and
present
and
take
feedback
from
city
staff
about
how
they'll
be
conducting
their
review
and
specifically,
what
they're.
Looking
at
the
type
of
feedback
we'd
like
sooner
rather
than
later,
I
think
could
certainly
be
done.
F
I
mean
mr
patrick
talked
about
the
events
of
the
summer,
but
he
didn't
directly
respond
to
my
question
about
this
unresolved
issue
that
we
don't
we're
not
sure
when
it's
gonna
end.
S
P
I'm
I'm
a
little
concerned
about
what
I'm
hearing
in
terms
of
the
scope
of
of
this
review,
especially
if
the
sort
of
triggering
incident
won't
be
considered
or
won't,
be
a
part
of
the
review.
You
know,
I
I
think
I'm
struggling
around
my
mind
around
how
that
could
even
occur,
and
you
know
my
worst
case
scenario
is
that
we
have
a
review
that
pretends
that
the
city
spontaneously
combusted
and
that
there
was
no
inciting
incident.
P
You
know
you
know
it'd
be
a
bit
like
if
you,
you
know
someone
slapped
another
person
and
you
went
to
go
investigate
the
the
redness
on
their
cheat
with
without
consideration
of
the
slap
it's
like.
Well,
I
don't
understand
what
what
what
that
would
entail.
P
You
know
and-
and
also
I
think,
that
there
are
you-
know
things
that
occurred
during
that
time.
You
know
that
I'd
be
that
I
that
I
could
see
easily
being
overlooked.
For
instance,
there
were
no
marches
or
or
real
protest
on
the
north
side
during
this
time,
but
we
had
very
targeted
arson.
P
You
know
there
was
at
least
one
night
of
massive
theft
and
and
and
and
it
was
sort
of
related,
but
not,
but
not
it
intimately
related
to
what
was
going
on
on
the
south
side
like
how
would
those
sort
of
like
secondary
and
tertiary
effects
be
included
in
in
this
review
and
and
and
I'll
just
say
again,
I
have
extreme
concern
that
we
would
do
an
after-action
review
without
without
without
reviewing
the
murder
of
george
floyd
itself
and
its
impact,
otherwise
we're
just
sort
of
examining
and
unrest
with,
no
context
it
sounds.
B
As
the
author,
I'm
gonna,
just
briefly
speak
to
that
those
are
fundamentally
different.
Types
of
audit
is
my
understanding
right.
The
audit
of
how
the
of
of
the
incident
around
george
floyd
is
one
is
one
incident
that
definitely
does
have
its
own
after
action
review
process
already
outlined
and
then
separately,
our
own
internal
audit
office
through
audit
committee
has
added
three
types
of
audits
to
improve
policing
as
a
result
of
that
incident.
One
of
them
is
about
mpd's
involvement
in
the
post
licensing
process
and
how
we
can
have
better
outcomes
that
way.
B
B
I
think
that
my
understanding
of
this
after
action
review
is
that
this
is
about
how
how
how
things
go,
how
how
we
could
have
done
better
as
a
as
a
whole
city
in
the
aftermath
of
it,
and
only
in
the
aftermath
of
it
in
such
a
way
to
learn
quickly
from
it
and
to
implement
procedures
so
that
we
can
get
better.
B
I
was
going
to
call
on
our
city
coordinator,
mr
ruff,
to
see
if
he
had
any
other
thoughts
or
comments
about
some
of
these
very,
very
real
concerns
that,
if
I
wasn't,
if
I
hadn't
been
getting
updates
on
this,
I'm
not
sure
I
I
bet
I
would
have
as
well.
R
I
would
certainly
defer
to
director
patrick
on
the
specifics
of
the
rfp,
but
I
think
these
are
all
very
important
questions
that
the
council
is
raising
and
at
least
could
be
a
conversation
with
the
res
with
the
selected
respondent,
as
what
kind
of
additional
scopes
of
work
could
be
added
on
to
the
to
the
actual
published
scope
of
work
and
have
a
conversation,
as
was
mentioned
earlier
with
the
council,
certainly
in
concert
with
our
city
attorney's
office
about
what
what
the
timing
of
some
of
those
investigations
would
be.
R
The
the
court
cases
that
are
going
on
specific
to
the
to
the
death
of
of
mr
floyd
and
also
to
council
vice
president's
matter,
which
is
a
monitoring
of
of
actions
that
have
occurred.
You
know,
I
think,
about
the
nikola
mall
actions
as
well
as
as
38th
in
chicago
that
continue
to
cause
stress
in
our
system
and
certainly
cause
individual
stress
for
those
who
are
nearby
or
involved.
So
I
I
would
encourage
that
conversation,
and
certainly
we
could
wait
and
and
revisit
this
in
january.
If
there's
continued
interest
in
the
conversation.
K
I
appreciate
the
conversation.
Maybe
we
should
have
had
more
detail
about
what
we
really
want
to
be
studying,
but
I'm
also
concerned
about
this
much
money
from
this
source.
It
seems
like
this
is
something
more
appropriate
for
our
emergency
contingency
fund.
Clearly,
we
weren't
budgeting
in
advance
for
civil
unrest
and
if
we
want
to
study
it,
it's
because
we
had
and
we
we
have
funds
to
to
look
at
these
things.
K
We
should,
I
think,
perhaps
go
there
if
we
can't
go
right
to
the
maybe
the
police
department
budget
for
the
revenues,
so
I
would
maybe
support
it
if
it
had
some
alternative
funding
sources
and-
and
maybe
some
clarity
about
what
we're
actually
reviewing
would
assist
too.
But
I
don't
think
I
can
support
it
right
now.
O
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
am
generally
supportive
of
this
idea.
I
think
it's
very,
very
important
that
we
do
these
studies.
I
think
it's
appropriate
that
I
go
to
internal
audit.
I
I'm
I.
O
I
think
we
can
work
out
the
details,
but
I
do
just
want
to
add
my
voice
to
the
concern
about
the
about
the
scope
and
and
to
make
sure
that
I
think
one
of
the
answers
that
we
need
this
kind
of
after
action
to
answer
is
what
did
we
do
in
our
response
to
the
murder
of
george
floyd
that
contributed
to
their
being
unrest
in
the
first
place?
O
So
if
we
start
with
unrest,
if
there's
an
ideological
framing
of
where
do
we
start
right
like
what's
the
moment
that
we
say
unrest
started
and
what
are
the
things
that
that
contributed
to
people
showing
up
angry
right?
Obviously,
they're
angry
about
george
floyd.
I
also
think
that
you
could
make
a
case
that
the
misinformation
from
the
pio
in
the
initial
report
was
part
of
what
created
a
sense
of
mistrust
and
confusion
and
and
anger
that
contributed
to
the
crowd
dynamic.
O
I
think
you
could
make
a
case,
and
I
think
it
would
be
good
for
us
to
have
a
study
of
what
are
the
ways
that
we
sort
of
moved
equipment
in
preparation
for
unrest,
in
a
way
that
that
almost
guaranteed
some
sort
of
escalation
in
the
way
that,
in
the
sort
of
operational
posture
that
mpd
took
on-
and
I
think
we
need
to
look
at
all
of
those
things
and
make
sure
that
people
have
answers,
because
I
think,
if
you
ask
different
people
in
this
city,
they
would
they
would
point
to
different
factors
that
that
contributed
to
things
reaching
a
boiling
point.
O
And
I
think
it's
very
important
that
we
have
an
analysis
of
that
and
we
can't
start
at
the
boiling
point.
We
do
have
to
ask:
how
did
it
get
there
and
what
are
the
things
we
could
have
done
potentially
to
help
address
people's
trauma
and
create
a
different
kind
of
an
outcome
in
the
crowd
dynamic,
as
as
everybody
was
mourning
and
grieving
and
expressing
their
anger,
you
know:
are
there
are?
Were
there
mistakes
made
that
we
need
to
learn
from?
And
I
think
it's
obvious
from
the
way.
O
I'm
asking
the
question
that
I
think
there
were,
but
I
want
to
make
sure
that
the
study
actually
looks
at
that
and
you
know
gives
us
a
more
you
know
rigorous
answer
to
that
question.
B
Thank
you
I'll
just
say
I
really
do
mean
what
I
say,
but
when
I
said
it
before
that,
I
think
we
need
to
ask
the
firm
selected
to
come
in
and
do
a
presentation
in
january
so
that
they
can
hear
this
feedback
directly
from
council
and
proceed
accordingly.
B
Are
there
any
other
questions
or
comments?
I'm
going
to
just
leave
the
the
funding.
Is
this
source
for
now
I'm
happy
to
entertain
other
sources.
If
that's
not
the
will
of
the
body
right
now,
but
I
will
council
vice
president
jenkins:
go
ahead.
C

D
Thank
you,
chair
palmisano
members.
Amendment
number
10
is
a
motion
by
council
member
osman
amending
the
2021
mayor's
recommended
budget
in
the
general
fund
for
the
community
planning
and
economic
development
department
on
a
one-time
basis,
increasing
the
expense
budget
by
ninety
five
thousand
dollars
for
east
african
home
ownership,
education
and
educational
and
advocacy
services
to
east
african
tenants
throughout
minneapolis
and
transferring
ninety
five
thousand
dollars
of
cash
balance
from
the
zero
one
snr
fund
to
the
general
fund.
To
the
extent
that
outside
support
is
necessary
to
deliver
these
services.
B
Oops,
sorry,
council,
member
osman,
did
you
want
to
speak
to
your
motion.
G
G
This
frustration
was
shared
with
me
over
the
summer
during
the
campaign,
with
not
just
a
resident
of
ward
six,
but
many
immigrant
residents
all
over
the
city
and-
and
it
was
visible
to
me
with
my
former
role
as
a
resident
advocate
working
with
resident
and
advocating
to
keep
them
housed
for
seven
years.
G
I
have
witnessed
that
the
landlords
and
the
property
management
send
out
nasty
letters
to
residents
and
affect
the
residents
with
no
due
process.
This
people
and
this
resident
have
all
kind
of
barriers,
mental
health,
language
barriers,
and
some
of
them
do
not
even
know
their
rights
as
a
as
a
tenant.
G
Considering
my
word,
almost
all
residents
are
renters
in
ward
6
and
we
want
to
make
sure
we
are
protecting
those
individuals
with
the
culturally
pacific
and
the
language
they
understand.
They
want
people
that
can
work
with
them
and
that
help
them
and
make
sure
that
these
landlords
do
not
continue
abusing
this
president
and
protecting
their
resident.
G
In
my
time
here,
as
a
council
member,
I
will
continue
to
advocate
for
tenants
rights.
I
will
use
every
power
I
have
and
and
talk
to
every
all
the
departments
that
regulate
tenants,
rights
really
pressure
them
to
make
sure
they
are
focusing
our
immigrant
non-speaking
english
community
in
in
city
of
minneapolis.
G
G
I
am
asking
your
help
to
pass
this
amendment,
for
specifically
those
individuals
that
are
that
have
been
dealing
with
this
kind
of
treatment,
and
also
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
providing
those
residents
opportunity
to
have
a
home
ownership
education
with
the
language
they
understand
with
the
specific
cultural
way.
They
understand.
G
There's
a
lot
of
barriers
from
east
african
community
for
buying
homes.
I
have
seen
residents
who
live
in
low
income,
housing
for
15
20
years
and
haven't
had
the
opportunity
to
know
that.
Yes,
there
are
resource
out
there,
there's
a
state
resource
resource
federal
resource
for
you
to
buy
home,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
if
we
want
to
keep
our
residents
home
and
our
homeless
residents
that
are
on
the
streets.
G
We
want
to
make
sure
these
units
that
individuals
are
are
are
becoming
vacant,
so
they
can
buy
a
house.
You
know
we
want
to
make
sure
we're
providing
those.
You
know
this
affordable,
low
income,
housing
or
section
8
housing
supposed
to
be
a
transition,
a
way
people
can
advance
with
their
career
and
jobs
and
then
buy
a
home,
and
then
the
next
individual
person
can
come
in,
but
it
seems
like
what
I
have
seen
as
advocate
president
for
seven
years
and
what
I
have
seen
those
opportunities
are
not
available
in
my
community.
M
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
I
highly
commend
councilmember
osman
for
bringing
this
item
forward.
I
think
he
hits
the
nail
right
on
the
head
on
this.
I
can
pretty
much
substitute
every
single
word
in
here
where
you
see
east
african
with
latino
and
the
the
the
statement
would
be
just
as
true
some
100
supporting
this
amendment,
and
I
just
wanted
to
take
the
time
to
share
that.
M
I
think
that
this
is
a
a
much
more
global
problem
shared
across
immigrant
communities
and
communities
who
are
multilingual
in
in
the
past.
M
I
would
say
two
to
three
years:
it's
become
more
clear
to
me
that
our
latino
success
rates
in
this
kind
of
program
moving
people
from
renter
status
to
homeownership
status,
getting
them
to
go
from
home
buyer
education
to
the
actual
purchase
agreement
to
moving
in
the
numbers,
aren't
very
good
and
myself
and
staff
tried
to
work
on
it
a
little
bit
and
I
I
of
course,
probably
ended
up
doing
work
that
is
outside
of
my
purview
in
that
typically,
I
do
try
to
play
the
the
bridge
of
you,
know
spanish,
speaker
and
translator
and
interpreter
and
connector
and
and
so
forth,
and-
and
I
think
that
I
need
to
push
us
as
a
city
to
rely
less
on
the
labor
of
the
council
members
of
color
to
do
the
work
that
should
be
embedded
in
city
departments
and
and
staffed
by
our
own
city
city
staff
as
well.
M
So
this
raises
questions
about
you
know:
do
we
have
somali-speaking
staff
members
in
cped
housing
that
can
help
make
more
strategic
recommendations
about
the
work
that
we're
doing
in
this
front?
M
Do
we
have
latino
and
spanish-speaking
staff
members
in
separate
housing
that
can
similarly
do
that
work
and
reach
that
community
in
in
a
way
where
that
social
capital
is
already
embedded
in
the
constitution
of
that
staff
member's
very
presence,
and
so
I
really
appreciate
this
staff
direction,
because
I
think
it
helps
me
also
push
and
think
bigger
about
the
kinds
of
things
that
we
could
do
together
with
generally
immigrant
communities
and
homeownership
rates
and,
of
course,
now
under
covert
19
pressures.
M
I
think
this
work
becomes
even
more
significant
and
more
important,
so
I
would
love
to
consider
perhaps
a
staff
direction
next
week
where
we
can
tie
some
of
these
themes
in
a
more
like
I
mentioned
in
a
more
global
way
to
address.
What
I
I
suspect
is
is
a
deeper
challenge
of
racial
injustice
and
racial
inequity
within
our
own
institution
and
our
own
city,
and
I
know
that
we
have
a
lot
of
community-based
organizations.
M
That
would
be
more
than
happy
to
to
advise
us
and
support
us
and
inform
us
inform
our
strategies
in
in
that.
I
would
also
like
to
add
that
I
think
for,
for
you
know
a
future
staff
direction.
That's
connected
to
this
kind
of
work.
We
should
really
look
at
evaluation,
an
evaluation
of
our
own
city
systems
and
processes
a
lot
of
times.
I
know
that
we
tend
to
hire
or
fund
external
community
groups
to
do
certain
work,
but
I
haven't
seen
strong
deliverables
around
tracking
and
evaluation.
M
I
know
that
in
the
past,
we've
funded
a
lot
of
community-based
efforts
to
help
us
around
public
safety
and
community-based
initiatives
around
keeping
our
communities
protected
and
safe,
but
we're
horrible
at
tracking
outcomes
demonstrating
results
at
evaluating
those
efforts
and
year
after
year
we
reinvent
those
efforts
and
then
we
we
fund
new
ones
the
following
year,
and
so
we
just
kind
of
chase
our
tail.
We
oftentimes
just
throw
money
at
the
problem
and
we
say:
buy
a
condos
figure.
M
It
out
hope
it
goes
well,
but
we
don't
really
bring
it
back
home
to
say
what
worked?
What
can
we
improve?
How
do
we
make
this
better
for
the
next
round,
so
kudos
to
you,
council,
member
osman,
for
bringing
this
up?
M
I
would
love
to
partner
with
you
on
future
work
on
this
front
that
maybe
ties
immigrant
communities
more
broadly
together
around
homeownership
rates,
and
it
would
be
great
to
set
some
internal
goals
and
outcomes
for
how
many
people
we
actually
want
to
move
into
homeownership
at
the
end
of
next
year,
so
that
we
can
be
really
explicit
about
our
expectations
and
the
work
that
we
that
we
want
to
achieve.
M
So,
thank
you
and
I'll
be
supporting
this.
L
Thank
you,
madam
chair
councilmember
osman.
Thank
you
for
bringing
this
forward.
I
just
want
to
reply
to
a
couple
of
things
that
were
mentioned,
but
my
friend
and
colleague
councilmember
cano.
We
spend
hundreds
of
thousands
of
dollars
on
home
ownership,
education
and
advocacy
services
through
homeline
and
legal
aid,
as
well
as
other
organizations.
L
I
think
there
was
a
feeling
that
it
wasn't
moving
deep
enough
into
the
east
african
community,
which
is
why
councilmember
osman
has
made
this
request,
probably
due
to
language
barriers,
access
and
a
number
of
issues.
Should
anyone
want
to
review
the
contracts
and
outcomes
with
these
organizations?
I
would
urge
you
to
do
so.
L
L
L
In
the
east
african
community,
so
that's
why
this
was
brought
forward,
but
I'm
sure
ms
brennan
and
others
at
cped
are
happy
to
review
the
work
we're
doing,
but
you
should
know
that
very
credible
organizations
like
homeline,
are
doing
this
work
and
I
think
they
have
good
cultural
capacity.
I
am
supporting
this
today.
I
very
much
appreciate
the
way
council
member
osman
has
moved
towards
this
process
instead
of
a
direct
appropriation,
and
I
appreciate
the
ability
to
work
with
him.
Thank
you.
H
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Well,
I'm
just
so
excited
to
have
another
council
member
who's
really
wanting
to
work
on
tenant
stuff.
So
thank
you,
councilman
osman,
your
leadership
is
going
to
be
really
important
in
this.
I
I
can
see
already.
I
did
have
a
chance
to
check
in
with
the
council
member
and
like
councilmember,
goodman
talked
about
homeland
and
its
cultural
capacity,
but
one
advantage
of
one
potential
for
this
funding,
I
think,
is
to
to
create
a
more
proactive
outreach.
H
I
mean
homeland
homeland
does
so
many
things
are
an
amazing
organization,
so
I
don't
want
to
suggest
that
all
they
do
is
is
answer
phone
calls,
but
they
are
primarily
their
sort
of
direct
service
is
primarily
you
know,
operating
the
hotline.
They,
of
course
also
do
advocacy
both
at
the
city
and
other
cities
around
the
state
and
at
the
state
legislature,
and
are
a
really
important
part
of
taking
all
of
those
stories
that
they
hear
through
their
hotline
to
policy
makers.
To
advocate
for
change.
H
So
I
think
you
know
one
thing
that
this
could
do
is
add
a
layer
that
is
a
more
proactive
outreach
again.
I
think
always
with
the
eye
toward
informing
policy
change,
especially
to
address
some
of
the
things
that
councilman
ricano
raised
with
you
know
just
making
sure
that
we're
taking
taking
what
we're
get
we're
hearing
and
gathering
back
and
fixing
those
systems
changes.
H
I
also
just
wanted
to
really
agree
with
councilmember
cano
about
the
ways
in
which
council
members
are
doing
work,
especially
the
council
members
who
speak
other
languages
or
council
members
of
color.
It's
something
that
it
has
been
bothering
me
I.
I
am
working
with
the
clerk
on
a
staffing
plan
for
future
councils,
maybe
something
depending
on
how
our
budget
looks
next
year,
that
I'll
bring
forward
kind
of
setting
up
for
for
future
terms.
H
My
experience
as
council
president
is
that
the
demands
of
the
council
president's
office
are
also
not
supported
so,
and
I
think
you
know,
our
communications
functions
are
not
supported,
but
that's
only
one
one
possible
solution
to
the
to
the
issue
and
I
think,
being
clear
about
the
different
needs
that
council
members
are
filling
that
are
parts
of
what
many
other
departments
do
is
is
worth
really
following
up
on.
So
I'd
love.
H
To
talk
more
about
that,
I
don't
want
to
believe
her
that
now
as
part
of
councilor
osmond's
motion,
but
I
didn't
want
to
forget
to
mention
it.
So
thanks.
B
Thank
you
seeing
nobody
else
in
queue.
I'm
going
to
ask
the
clerk
to
call
the
roll.
C
H
B
Thank
you
that
motion
carries
next.
We
have
a
motion
by
council
members,
cunningham
and
goodman
that
also
pertains
to
this
fund
and
after
this
I've,
I've
gotten
some
feedback
that,
after
the
eight-hour
hearing
in
today's
all-day
meeting
marathon,
that
some
of
the
city
hall
staff
are
absolutely
exhausted,
and
I
would
suggest
that
maybe
we
close
after
this
motion
and
adjourn
to
monday,
instead
of
getting
all
the
way
through
the
13
that
we
originally
set
out
to
do
today,
we'll
pick
the
other
two
up
at
the
beginning
of
monday.
B
Without
objection,
let
me
know
if
you
have
any
objections
to
that,
but
first
we'll
have
director
intramil,
read
this
motion
and
go
through
this
one.
D
A
D
Amendment
number
eleven
is
a
motion
by
council
members,
cunningham
and
goodman
amending
the
2021
mayor's
recommended
budget
in
the
general
fund
for
the
regulatory
services
department
on
a
one-time
basis,
increasing
the
expense
budget
in
the
minneapolis
animal
care
and
control
by
eighty
thousand
dollars
for
the
animal
safety
net
pilot
program
and
transferring
two
hundred
and
eighty
thousand
dollars
of
cash
balance
from
the
zero
one
snr
fund
to
the
general
fund.
J
I
can
go
ahead
and
jump
into
this.
I'm
very
excited
to
bring
this
forward
and
to
be
of
be
of
support
to
our
minneapolis
animal
care
and
control
staff.
They
do
amazing
amazing
work
with
very
little
funding
and
support,
and
so
I
wanted
to
speak
specifically
to
this
animal
safety
net
program.
It's
actually
already
been
underway.
This
is
going
to
be
the
first
time
that
we're
more
sourcing
it
in
in
a
more
intentional
way.
J
It
is
one
time
dollars,
but
at
least
it's
a
step
in
the
right
direction
for
us
to
actually
build
out
this
much
needed
system
in
our
regulatory
services
department
under
the
minneapolis
animal
care
control.
So
I
want
to
just
walk
through
folks
all
of
the
things
that
this
covers,
that
this
funding
covers
and
and
it's
quite
a
lot
but
I'll
just
I'll
try
to
be
quick.
So
the
programs
under
the
animal
safety
net
umbrella
are
the
domestic
violence
program.
J
So
what
is
the
reality
is
that
animals
and
pets
are
actually
frequently
used
by
abusers
to
they.
They
will
either
harm
or
kill
pets
as
a
way
to
abuse
their
domestic
violence
victims.
So
this
is
a
way.
This
is
a
safe
way
to
keep
animals
out
of
the
hands
of
people
who
will
cause
them
harm.
It
includes
emergency
sheltering
for
pets
whose
parent
is
experiencing
a
medical
emergency.
J
It
includes
emergency
shelter
sheltering
for
unexpected
housing
displacement
due
to
disasters
like
fire,
there's
weekly,
low-cost
vaccine
and
microchip
clinics,
a
foster
care
foster
program
for
extended
care
of
displaced,
owned
animals
while
they're.
How
excuse
me
this
place
owned
animals
being
housed
while
their
owner
recovers?
J
It
includes
critical
care
assistance
which
will
be
used
to
assist
low-income
individuals
with
emergency
care
for
their
pets,
and
it
would
include
the
field
assistant
program
which
essentially
that's
a
resource,
and
an
officer
can
utilize
in
the
field
for
instances
where
there's
unintended
neglect
that
has
occurred
because
of
income
barriers
or
other
reasons,
but
for
which
the
animal
has
experienced
limited
suffering
and
the
issue
can
be
easily
remedied
through
humane
education
and
moderate
assistance,
rather
than
direct
and
immediate
enforcement.
J
So
it
helps
expand
the
the
options
that
are
available
outside
of
just
the
hammer
of
enforcement,
but
also
engagement
and
education.
J
So
this
can
be
include
medical
advice
from
the
max
the
macc,
their
vets
grooming,
where,
where
they
can
help,
as
well
as
medical
examination
and
prescriptions
for
medications,
the
officer
can
also
they
so
they
excuse
me.
The
animal
care
and
control
officers
may
also
make
referrals
to
other
programs
that
can
assist
the
owner
finding
solutions
and
resolutions
to
issues
that
they
might
be
experiencing,
and
that
officer
would
work
through
the
issue
with
the
owner
until
it's
corrected
and
resolved.
J
So
it's
really
very
much
so
hands-on
work
that
moves
that
moves.
Folks,
who
are
pet
parents
through
the
process
of
remediating,
any
any
issues
that
they
might
be
having
now.
J
I
know
that
it's
easy
to
to
be.
Like
oh
he's,
the
pet
guy.
I
mean
my
in
my
room
right
now
in
my
office.
Right
now.
I
have
four
dogs
from
the
mac,
so
yes,
I,
I
am
very
much
so
passionate
about
rescue
animals,
but
I
also
want
to
implore
that
this
is
a
public
safety
issue
and
that
we
also
have
a
responsibility
to
protect
animals
in
our
city.
Animals
are
disproportionately
victims
of
violence.
J
They
are
the
first
to
be
harmed
when
their
pet
parents
get
displaced
for
whatever
reason,
or
they
have
a
medical
emergency,
and
they
can't
be
taken
care
of
there's
all
sorts
of
ways
and
reasons
that
this
that
this
really
helps
to
protect
a
truly
a
literally
voiceless
constituency
in
our
city
that
we
are
responsible
for.
We
have
minneapolis
animal
care
and
control.
J
We
do
have
that
function
and
we
need
to
source
it
so
that
it
can
actually
meet
the
needs
of
the
constituency
that
we
have
asked
for
them
to
care,
for
we
have
phenomenal
city
staff
who
work
in
that
department,
truly
innovative,
hard-working
they
scrape
together,
nickels
and
dimes
in
order
to
make
sure
that
they
can
do
their
best
work.
So
I
strongly
request
for
for
our
colleagues
to
please
support
this
effort
and
am
very
grateful
to
council
member
goodman
for
working
alongside
me
with
it
and
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
L
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
In
the
years
that
I've
served
on
the
city
council,
we
have
moved
from
having
an
animal
care
and
control
unit.
That's
been
about
collecting
dogs,
sweeping
them
up,
putting
them
into
vans,
bringing
them
to
a
building
and
euthanizing
them.
We've
come
away
from
being
an
organization
that
has
taken
certain
breeds
and
banned
them
and
moved
into
an
organization,
that's
partnered,
with
other
organizations
to
adopt
those
that
are
hardest
to
adopt.
L
We
have
not
just
sent
sick
and
injured
animals
back
out
into
the
public,
but
we've
hired
a
veterinarian
to
be
able
to
do
the
kinds
of
care
that
are
needed
for
these
animals,
and
we
have
become
more
of
a
humane
society
type
organization
than
a
straight
up:
law
enforcement,
animal
care
and
control.
This
effort
is
the
next
step
in
this
direction
and
from
where
I
said,
here's
why
many
many
people
looking
for
affordable
housing
and
who
are
unhoused
have
pets.
They
won't
even
go
into
housing
much
of
the
time
because
their
pets
are
not
included.
L
Many
victims
of
domestic
violence
are
afraid
to
leave
their
abusers
because
they
don't
want
to
leave
their
beloved
animal
to
the
abuser
and
many
abusers
hold
animals
over
the
heads
of
often
women,
who
are
afraid
to
leave
that
level
of
abuse
because
they
don't
know
what's
going
to
happen
to
their
pet.
This
is
a
step
in
the
direction
of
saying
that
we
understand
what
victims
feel
victims
and
those
in
the
community
who
have
been
very
hard
to
help
in
the
past.
L
I
really
give
council
member
cunningham
a
lot
of
credit,
and
I
understand
this
is
a
very
difficult
budget
year
myself,
but
I
do
think
that
this
is
an
effort
that
will
reach
those
who
are
hardest
to
reach
these
low
income.
Folks,
don't
get
their
animals
treated
or
vaccinated,
and
then
we
have
more
of
a
cost
later
on
when
we
have
to
be
dealing
with
euthanizing
people's
pets,
picking
them
up
from
abusive
situations,
and
so
I
give
you
a
lot
of
credit
councilmember
cunningham.
L
I
thought
that
councilmember
johnson
and
I
were
the
ones
who
cared
the
most
about
animals.
We
are
developing
a
whole
caucus
of
people
who
believe
that
animal
welfare
issues
are
very
tied
to
other
issues
within
our
community,
and
I
think
this
is
a
very
good
solution.
I'm
happy
to
be
included
in
the
work
that
you've
already
done.
N
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
I
just
want
to
quick,
say
thanks
to
my
colleagues,
councilmember
cunningham
and
goodman,
for
your
leadership
on
this.
You
know
with
everything
going
on
affordable
housing
and
public
safety
and
economic
development
and
on
and
on
all
these
big
huge
issues
that
are
super
important.
N
It
is
easy
for
us
not
to
talk
enough
about
all
the
incredible
work
happening
over
at
mac,
so
I
just
want
to
express
my
gratitude
and
thanks
to
the
team,
caroline
staff,
the
advisory
board,
all
the
volunteers
and
everyone
who
supports
mac
you're,
doing
great
work,
really
appreciate
it
and
I'm
glad
we
have
an
opportunity
to
talk
about
it,
because
we
don't
get
that
opportunity
enough
and
we
need
to
do
it
more.
So,
thank
you.
H
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
support
this
effort
and
really
appreciate
the
way
that
the
authors
have
made
the
connections
clear
to
the
greater
policy
work.
We
do.
I
will
say
I've
heard
some
council
members
suggest
that
instead
of
investing
city
dollars
in
gun
violence
prevention,
we
should
rely
on
philanthropy
for
that
work,
and
I
I
know
we
didn't
finish
our
work
in
in
in
the
violence,
prevention
and
transforming
safety
discussion,
and
you
know
so.
I
will
support
this.
I
I
want
to
be
very
clear.
H
I'm
not
I'm
just
stating
my
positions
and
thoughts
is
that
I
would
feel
pretty
heartbroken
if,
if
we
couldn't
find
a
way
to
increase
our
investments
in
gun,
violence,
prevention
from
city
funds
and
suggested,
we
would
rely
on
philanthropy
for
that
work
when
we're
investing
in
so
many
other
things.
Yes
worthy
things.
Yes,
all
the
points
are
things
I
wholeheartedly
agree
with,
but
I
can't
help,
but
just
reflect
on
that.
F
Jenkins,
ordinarily,
I
I
might
be
criticizing
this
this
motion.
However,
I
one
of
my
team
members,
just
you
know,
informed
me
that
that
they
may
they
are
considering
home
euthanasia
for
their
beloved
pet,
and
it's
really
heartbreaking
and
the
comments
from
from
councilmember
cunningham
and
subsequently
councilmember
goodman
really
makes
sense.
F
B
Thank
you
seeing
no
one
else
in
queue.
I
will
ask
the
clerk
to
call
the
roll
on
this
item
and
I
do
want
to
mention.
I
have
to
receive
some
feedback
from
the
authors
of
these
next
motions.
They
do
think
they
will
go
quickly
and
so
I'm
going
to
suggest
that
we
adjourn
no
later
than
5
20
today,
but
we
try
to
get
through
the
subsequent
two
motions.
So
on
motion
11
by
council
members,
cunningham
and
goodman
clerk,
please
call
the
roll.
C
H
B
D
H
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
I'll
just
note.
If,
if
this
seems
like
it
will
take
a
long
time,
we
should
delay
this
item
probably
to
the
end
of
monday
or
even
to
wednesday.
I
just
want
to
bring
this
for
transparency
purposes
really,
as
we
were
talking
through
a
lot
of
the
safety
needs
and
investments.
You
know,
after
this
year's
experience
on
many
fronts,
you
know
it's
become
very
clear
that
you
know
the
city
is,
is
facing
an
enormous
crisis
of
homelessness,
for
a
variety
of
factors,
we're
seeing
very
large
encampments.
H
We've
tried
very
hard
to
work
with
the
state
and
the
county
and
collectively
we're
all
putting
in
more
resources
than
we
ever
have.
But
this
piece
about
direct
outreach
to
folks
who
are
experiencing
unsheltered
homelessness
and
in
our
encampments
has
been
missing
and
it
doesn't
seem
like
it
is
going
to
be
filled
by
other
units
of
government,
and
so
one
of
the
this
is
another
area
where
we
have
staff
across
the
enterprise
who
have
full-time
jobs,
doing
other
things
who
have
become
staff
for
homelessness
and
encampments.
Specifically.
H
So,
as
we
were
talking
through
this,
there
is
a
similar
approach
to
staffing
cped,
more
appropriately
to
respond
to
encampments
that
will
be
funded
through
cdbg
funds
that
that
are
an
eligible
expense.
So,
like
that
approach,
we
can
also
use
that
funding
source
to
better
resource
the
health
department
to
support
the
work
that
they
are
already
doing
around
encampment,
but
also
to
just
put
more
capacity
within
the
city
to
do
direct
outreach,
and
this
is
specific
to
the
health
and
safety
needs
of
people
experiencing
unsheltered
homelessness.
H
It
has
funding
for
two
staff,
which
would
be
temporary.
This
is
one
time
dollars
and
also
a
lot
of
the
different,
the
porta-potties
hand-washing
stations.
It
has
some
funding
for
healthcare
for
the
homeless
to
do
some
health
analysis.
H
So
what
this
is
just
really
doing
is
asking
staff
to
include
this
in
their
recommendations
early
next
year
that
will
be
coming
forward
for
cdbg
dollars.
This
is
a
we're
not
doing
that
for
all
the
other
things
that
they're
likely
to
to
recommend,
but
this
is
a
little
bit
of
a
different
use
than
we
usually
use
the
cb
cdbg
dollars
for.
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
M
Kano,
sorry,
it
is
late
on
a
friday
afternoon
and
my
children
are
here
so
I
have
to
let
them
know
when
I'm
going
to
speak.
So
I'm
looking
at
this
and,
of
course,
reflecting
a
lot
on
how
this
issue
evolved
in
minneapolis
over
the
last
five
to
six
months
and
I'll
say
that
it.
It
sounds
like
a
good
idea.
M
I
I
really
want
to
hear
a
little
bit
more
from
city
staff
on
the
the
strategy
of
how
these
two
positions
might
or
would
live
within
all
the
other
strategies
that
we
already
have
in
place
and
part
of
the
part
of
the
rationale
there
is
that
I
think
it's
really
important
to
ensure
that
we're
not
creating
redundancies
in
in
our
systems
and
creating
more
sort
of
one-off
efforts,
but
that
the
efforts
that
we're
funding
are
bridging
a
gap
or
connecting
one
type
of
strategy
with
another
to
have
a
more
sustainable
and
far-reaching
approach
or
system
and
and
that's
sort
of
what
we're
doing
with
the
arts
work.
M
Is
that
we're
noticing,
there's
some
level
of
redundancies
across
the
enterprise
and
so
having
a
place
to
kind
of
get
those
strategies
under
one
roof
is
is
important
additionally.
I'll.
Add
that
it
would
be
great
to
hear
from
staff
about
how
these
two
positions,
if
approved
and
and
if
we,
if
you
know
they
seem
to
have
a
strong
rationale
for
them,
would
help
leverage
the
multitude
of
groups
that
the
city
already
funds
to
do
this
work.
So
much
like
the
home
ownership
program
and
the
tenants
rights
programs
that
that
we
have.
M
We
do
outsource
a
lot
of
the
community
engagement
efforts
on
this
front,
so
that
staff
aren't
stuck
providing
direct
services
as
councilmember
goodman
was
mentioned
mentioning.
So
one
thing
we
know
is
that
you
know
we
fund
avivo.
We
fund
american
indian
community
development
center.
We
fund
indigenous
peoples
task
force,
minnesota
indian
women's
resource
center.
We
fund
st
stevens
south
side
humber
reduction
there.
M
There
are
a
dozen
groups
that
we
fund
to
help
around
this
issue,
but
I
don't
get
a
sense
that
those
groups
are
working
together
and
that
we
have
a
centralized,
coordinated
strategy
to
be
proactive
on
this
front.
So
a
lot
of
times.
It
falls
on
our
offices
to
report
a
problem
which
then
triggers
the
response,
and
I
think
I
would
much
rather
see
a
system
where
we
are
already
weaving
a
proactive
strategy
that
is
requiring
the
12
or
so
non-profit
organizations
that
we
already
fund
inquiry.
M
This
is
another
one
that
we
can
add
to
the
list
to
ensure
that
they're
all
working
together
on
similar
strategies
moving
in
the
same
direction
and
supporting
one
another
to
coordinate,
proactive
outreach
on
homelessness,
particularly
because
they
cannot
wait
for,
for
example,
26th
and
bloomington
to
explode
with
30
people
sleeping
on
the
street
and
then
just
rely
on
the
council
member
to
call
3-1-1
or
to
call
katie,
topinka
and
cpad
to
say,
hey
what's
going
on.
So
I
really.
I
really
think
we're.
M
We
need
to
make
sure
that
if
we
do
as
a
city
have
more
resources
for
this
topic
that
we're
being
really
strategic
and
and
and
pushing
for
more
from
all
of
the
players
that
are
involved
in
this
conversation,
we
we
have
to
go
above
and
beyond,
throwing
money
at
the
problem
and
really
setting
expectations
of
the
work
that
we
fund
and
what
we,
what
we
hope
will
come
out
of
that.
So
maybe
these
folks
can
help
the
conveners
coordinators.
M
You
know
manage
some
kind
of
a
centralized
schedule
of
outreach
and
and
presence
in
the
community,
because
I
just
I
feel
so
many
questions
from
people
who
are
like
well
what's
going
on
in
this
corner
or
why
is
it
erupting
over
here
and
then
all
we
do
is
call
same
statements
and
then
all
we
do
is
call
avivo.
All
we
do
is
call
american,
indian,
cdc
and-
and
it
just
doesn't
feel
it
doesn't
feel
efficient.
It
doesn't
feel
effective.
It
doesn't
feel
smart,
it
doesn't
feel
proactive.
M
So
it
would
be
great
to
see
how
this
conversation
could
perhaps
lead
to
a
more
comprehensive
approach
at
how
we
do
this
work.
In
addition
to
weaving
in
the
the
county,
efforts
and
and
the
state
efforts
as
well,
if,
if
there
are
any
that
we
can
sort
of
plug
into
these
things,
thank
you.
B
Q
Thank
you,
madam
chair
and
council
members
wanted
to
just
respond
to
a
couple
of
the
points
that
councilmember
cono
made.
First,
the
city
received
a
significant
amount
of
federal
funding
through
the
emergency
solutions.
Q
Grant
and
community
development
block
grant
funds
as
part
of
the
federal
cares
money,
and
one
of
the
things
that
we've
prioritized
is
ex
is
that
the
council
has
approved
is
awarding
additional
contracts
to
perform
street
outreach
to
the
organizations
that
council
member
kano
identified
and
because
we've
significantly
increased
our
investment
in
this
service
and
again,
we've
we've
done
that
intentionally
in
funding,
specifically
culturally
appropriate
communities.
Q
The
american
indian
community
development
agency,
as
well
as
the
minneapolis
minnesota,
indian
women's
resource
center,
as
well
as
others,
and
so
because
we've
extended
th
this
investment
and
outreach.
We
are
also
using
esg
funding
to
create
a
new
city
position
and
that
position
right
now.
Q
Actually,
we've
we
are
in
the
interviewing
process
of
hiring
an
unsheltered
homeless,
coordinator
position
that
will
be
located
in
in
cped,
and
the
primary
role
of
this
position
is
going
to
coordinate
the
outreach
activities
of
all
of
the
different
contracts
that
the
city
has
entered
into,
and
we
took
this
on
in
very
strong
partnership
with
the
county
and
the
office
to
and
homelessness
team
over
there,
so
that
we
will
be
working
very
very
closely
together,
as
we
have
been
throughout
this
entire
last
couple
of
years.
Q
Increasingly,
so
the
the
county
has
a
a
outreach
worker
on
staff,
so
that
person
is
also
involved
in
this
broader
team,
and
we
so
I
think,
having
that
staff
person
you
know
in-house
to
help
specifically
coordinate.
All
of
these
activities
is
going
to
make
a
significant
difference
in
in
the
coordination
around
street
outreach.
The
other
point
I
would
make-
and
I
would
let
commissioner
music
can't
speak
to
the
to
this
particular
budget
amendment,
but
what
I
do
think
is
really
important.
Q
Is
that
there's
a
tremendous
amount
of
of
coordination
that
is
happening
throughout
the
enterprise,
so
between
cped
the
health
department,
the
homeless
and
vulnerable
populations
initiative
in
mpd
public
works?
It
is
really
a
lot
of
different
folks
around
the
enterprise
are
involved
in
our
collective
response
to
addressing
unsheltered
homelessness
and
also
across
other
agencies,
so
that
would
include
working
very
closely
with
the
county
and
the
state.
So
I
just
wanted
to
make
that
point
and
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
any
other
questions
about
our
collective
homeless
response.
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
I
will
be
very
brief.
I
do
support
this
motion.
I
do
think.
However,
it
brings
up
some
philosophical
issues
that
I
think
council
member
cano
brought
forward
and,
and
certainly
director
brennan
addressed,
but
it
really
is
about
how
are
we
working
with
other
jurisdictions
and
and
governmental
entities?
F
You
know.
Historically,
this
has
been
a
role
for
for
hennepin
county
and
certainly
these
issues
are
occurring
in
the
city
of
minneapolis,
and
so
we
must
take
responsibility
and
and
deal
with
with
these
issues
as
well,
but
it
has
to
be.
F
I
I
think,
as
as
council
member
eloquently
stated,
that
you
know
we,
we
need
to
be
coordinating
our
efforts
more
fully,
and
I
understand
director
brennan
stated
that
that
that
is
in
fact
happening
and
that
these
two
staff
positions
will
support
those
efforts,
but
but
those
are
some
of
the
the
broader,
more
philosophical
differences
and
challenges
that
we
need
to
grapple
with.
Thank
you.
L
H
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
just
want
to
note.
I
mean
we've
all
spent
hours
and
hours
in
meetings
about
encampments
specifically
and
I'm
happy
to
follow
up.
I
hear
I
hear
and
agree
with
every
single
comment
that's
been
made.
This
is
this.
Funding
is
very
specifically
focused
on
the
health-related
issues.
So
where
do
we
put
port-a-potties?
Where
do
we
put
hand
washing
stations?
H
What
are
potential
infectious
disease
risks
for
our
homeless
population,
including
covid,
if
it
is
still
a
factor
next
summer,
which
is
likely
along
with
hepatitis,
a
and
hiv-
and
these
are
just
not
functions-
that
the
contracting
organizations
are
really
able
to
make
so
there
there
hasn't
been
sta.
I
mean
there
have
been
staff,
but
it's
the
same
staff
that
are
working
on
kind
of
a
lot
of
other
things.
There
haven't
been
dedicated
staff
who
are
able
to
make
these
kinds
of
recommendations.
H
H
So
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
prepared
for
next
summer
so
that
we're
not
caught
flat-footed
and
just
really
make
sure
that
we
have
the
actual
capacity
in
staff
to
do
the
functions
that
the
city
really
needs
to
do,
which
is
make
those
front-line
decisions
about
how
we're
keeping
people
healthy
and
safe.
So
thanks
and
again,
I'm
very
happy
to
follow
up.
H
You
know
work
closely
with
director
brennan
and
the
health
department,
as
well
as
the
folks
at
igr
who
manage
the
cdbg
program,
and
this
would
come
through
for
a
final
vote
in
in
the
early
of
next
and
early
next
year,
along
with
the
other
recommendations
that
will
be
coming
from
staff
first
at
cdbg.
It's
just
that
those
will
be
more
housing
related,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
this
was.
H
I
mean
we
could
have
just
done
this
then,
but
I
wanted
to
be
transparent
and
staff
thought
it
would
be
helpful
to
to
bring
this
now.
Thank
you.
I
B
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair
members.
Amendment
number
13
is
a
motion
by
council
member
fletcher
directing
staff
in
the
finance
and
property
services
department
and
the
city
attorney's
office
to
research,
best
practices
and
develop
options
for
the
city
council
regarding
making
changes
to
the
city's
legal
level
of
budgetary
control
staff
shall
present
this
information
to
the
council
committee
with
jurisdiction
over
city
finances
no
later
than
march
31st
2021.
O
O
This
goes
back
to
the
mid-year
budget,
conversations
that
we
had
around
identifying
sources
and
recognizing
that
we
could
fund
a
program
and
that
department,
heads
under
our
current
financial
policies
can
shift
that
money
and
not
actually
do
the
program
we
funded
and
do
something
else
and
that
it
is
certainly
a
matter
of
etiquette
and
tradition
and
probably
sort
of
good
politics
and
relationship
management.
To
basically
do
the
things
that
you're
funded
to
do,
but
that
we
have
a
very
light
level
of
control
and
department.
O
Heads
have
wide
latitude
to
move
items
within
departments
and
occasionally
that
prompts
some
of
my
constituents
to
ask
if
we're
actually
using
the
power
of
the
budget
in
the
way
that
we
should
as
council
members
and
if
we're
actually
asserting
the
level
of
overthrow
site
that
we
should
be
asserting.
O
So
I
started
a
conversation
with
director
with
director
intermil
sorry
with
the
end
of
a
long
day,
and
we
agreed
that
this
conversation
would
go
better
outside
of
the
budget
process,
that
it
would
be
better
to
give
a
direction
to
come
back
later
in
the
year
and
start
thinking
towards
next
year's
budget
about
whether
we
might
want
to
make
those
changes.
That
would
give
us
time
to
talk
to
department
heads
about
what
kind
of
impact
this
would
have.
O
We
don't
want
to
be
so
restrictive
that
they
have
to
come
to
the
council
for
every
stupid
little
thing,
but
we
also
do
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
a
level
of
oversight
that
this
budgeting
process
is
meaningful.
So
that's
the
intent
and
I'm
hopeful
that
we
can
pass
this
staff
direction
and
start
this
conversation
that
will
be
continued
mid-year.
B
Thank
you.
Are
there
any
questions
or
comments
from
council
members
I'll
just
quickly
put
myself
in
cue
to
say
thank
you
for
the
staff
direction.
I
appreciate
it
had
an
opportunity
to
speak
with
the
budget
director
about
it
and
how
we
could
help
to
talk
about
more
of
this
throughout
the
year
instead
of
how
it
normally
operates,
which
is
just
you
know
a
few
weeks
here
at
the
end
of
each
year,
in
sort
of
a
rushed
fashion.
Are
there
any
seeing
no
more
comments
or
questions
from
other
colleagues?
C
I
C
C
F
B
Thank
you
that
motion
carries
with
that.
Colleagues,
we've
completed
the
amendments
that
we
said
we
would
complete
today.
At
this
point
and
without
objection,
I
will
adjourn
this
meeting
to
monday
december
7th
at
1
30
pm
to
complete
our
work
on
the
2021.
But
thank
you
for
your
time
and
your
patience
this
afternoon.
