Minneapolis Policy & Government Oversight Committee Meeting

https://lims.minneapolismn.gov/
B
Thank
you
good
afternoon.
My
name
is
lisa
bender,
I'm
the
chair
of
the
policy
and
government
oversight
committee.
I'm
going
to
call
to
order
a
regular
committee
meeting
for
today,
which
is
july
9th
I'd
like
to
note
for
the
record
that
this
meeting
has
remote
participation
by
council
members
and
city
staff
as
authorized
under
the
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
to
verify
the
presence
of
a
quorum.
A
B
B
At
the
record
reflect
that
we
do
have
a
quorum
for
today's
meeting
council
members.
I
know
the
clerk's
office
reached
out
with
the
heads
up
that
this
is
a
long
agenda
with
many
items.
So
thank
you
all
for
being
here
the
big
at
the
beginning
of
our
meeting.
We
do
have
six
public
hearings,
all
of
which
are
tied
to
proposed
land
sales.
B
E
Thank
you,
council
president
bender
and
members
of
the
committee.
We
do,
as
it
was
mentioned,
have
six
land
sales,
3215
gerard
avenue
north
for
sale
through
the
minneapolis
homes.
Policies
for
the
program
were
established
by
the
city
council
on
december
11,
2015
and
february
10
2017
staff
recommends
the
sale
of
3215
gerard
avenue
north
to
tyrone
robertson
for
its
appraised
day
of
12
700,
subject
to
conditions.
E
Staff
marketed
this
property
of
open
house
held
in
january
2020,
with
the
notification
sent
to
a
list
of
now
or
3
000
people.
This
is
the
only
application
received
for
this
property.
The
lot
size
is
45
feet
by
127,
approximately
5
729
total
square
feet.
The
purchaser
proposed
to
invest
650
000
to
build
a
triflex
with
1
175
square
feet
per
unit.
Each
unit
will
have
three
bedrooms
and
two
bathrooms
and
one
stall
and
a
detached
three-car
garage.
E
The
purchaser
intends
to
rent
the
units
out
without
restrictions,
cpes
construction
management
staff
review
the
scope
of
work
and
estimate
submitted
by
the
applicant
and
confirmed
they
are
sufficient
to
meet
the
minimum
program.
Standards
notification
was
provided
to
the
foul
neighborhood
association
february,
26
2020..
They
did
not
make
a
recommendation.
E
B
B
B
Muted,
okay,
I'm
not
hearing
anyone
chime
in
for
the
public
hearing,
so
I'll
go
ahead
and
close
the
public
hearing.
Of
course,
if
we've
missed
you
somehow
there
are
more
items-
and
I
think
also
relevant
to
that
speaker
who
had
wanted
to
speak
on
item
one.
So
with
that
I
closed
the
public
hearing.
I
will
note
that
council
members,
kano
and
council
vice
president
jenkins
are
here
as
well,
and
I
will
see
if
there's
a
motion
on
this
proposed
land
sale.
G
H
H
C
I
C
B
Thank
you.
That
item
carries
and
will
be
referred
to
the
full
city
council
meeting
the
next
land
sale
on
the
agenda
is
the
proposed
sale
of
city
on
property
located
at
2714,
bryant
avenue
north
and
mr
ramadan
will
give
that
staff
report.
In
case
I've
missed
everyone
I'll
just
note
that
all
12
members
of
the
city
council
are
present
on
this
meeting.
E
Councilmember
bender,
as
noted
by
our
councilmember
cunningham,
through
an
email
that
he
sent
to
me,
you'll
you'll,
note
that
these
designs
are
very
very
similar.
This
is
a
group
of
three
developers
who
are
each
individually,
owning
properties,
tyrone
robertson,
being
three
kurt
brecky
with
two
and
keith
dawson
with
one
as
well
as
another
one
that
was
provided
last
week.
E
Mr
robertson
did.
Let
me
know
that
this
was
just
the
preliminary
design
that
we
will
not
have
eight
identical
houses,
but
they
just
want
to
get
a
design
that
a
concept
to
the
city
council
in
order
to
start
the
landsale
process.
So
I
make
it
brief
because
they
are
pretty
much
along
the
same
lines.
I'll
just
read
the
first
part
of
it,
which
is
the
sale
through
the
minneapolis
homes,
and
that
staff
recommends
the
sale
of
2714
bryant
avenue
north
to
tyrone
robertson
for
its
appraised
value
of
five
thousand
dollars,
subject
to
conditions.
B

I
I
B

K

B
B
E
B
E
B
Great
thank
you
for
that
information.
I
think
it'll
be
interesting
to
track
how
how
how
this
works
and
and
see
you
know
as
we
continue
to
address
this
program.
So
I
appreciate
staff
continuing
to
make
tweaks
and
to
really
use
this
program
to
meet
all
of
our
policy
goals.
I
think,
with
significant
input
from
the
council
members
who
represent
words,
four
and
five,
where
a
lot
of
these
land
sales
take
place.
So
thank
you
for
all
of
that,
is
there
any
other
questions
from
council
members
for
staff.

You
know
I
will
just
quickly
comment
again.
I
know
you
said
a
little
bit
earlier,
but
I
just
want
to
thank
staff
for
all
the
hard
work
that
goes
into
each
of
these
land
sales.
It's
really,
I
think,
very
time
intensive,
but
one
of
the
many
ways
that
we're
working
to
create
housing
for
folks
and
create
housing
and
home
ownership
opportunity
for
people
as
well
as
create
a
lot
of
housing
options
during
a
time
where
our
housing
system
is
under
great
stress-
and
we
know
many
in
our
community
are
facing
housing
and
stability.
B
So
just
thank
you.
I
know
that
it
may
not
feel
like
a
lot
to
have
15
new
units
of
housing,
but
it
all
of
it
matters,
and
I
think
that
care
and
intention
that's
gone
into
continuing
to
refine
this
program
is
really
meaningful.
So
thank
you
to
staff
and
to
the
policy
makers
again.
Who've
helped
guide
this
work.

B
D
Cunningham,
thank
you,
madam
president.
I
don't
want
to
pull
up
for
a
discussion.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
I
highlight
it.
We
probably
would
have
gotten
a
presentation
on
it
for
item
number
27
regarding
the
city's
efforts
to
transition
into
fully
renewable
energy
or
electricity
for
municipal
uses.
So
I
just
want.
We
probably
would
have
gotten
a
presentation
about
it
at
the
peace
committee,
so
I
wanted
to
make
sure
to
highlight
it,
because
this
is
really
great
work.
D
D
We
are
on
track
to
reach
100
renewable
electricity
by
the
end
of

which
is
a
an
entire
entirely
full
year
before
the
2023
goal,
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
I
say
thank
you
in
particular
to
brian
millberg,
as
well
as
councilmember,
gordon
for
their
leadership.
This
work
started
rolling
in
2017.,
so
so
thank
you
both
for
all
of
your
hard
work.
B
B
G
D
C
G
B
B
That
carries
and
those
items
will
be
forwarded
to
the
council
meeting.
This
brings
us
to
our
discussion
items
we'll
begin
with
item
number
45,
which
is
to
revise
the
minneapolis
homes
homeownership
products
to
align
with
the
minneapolis
2040
comprehensive
plan.
We
have
roxanne
campbell
from
the
community
planning
and
economic
development
department
to
give
that
presentation.
P
Good
afternoon,
council
members,
this
presentation
is
a
continuation
of
the
february
council
study
session
about
minneapolis
homes,
homebuyer
programs.
Our
recommendations
today
incorporate
additional
community
and
council
feedback
from
february
through
may
today,
we're
bringing
two
council
actions.
The
first
focused
on
aligning
our
minneapolis
homes,
home
buyer
programs
and
policies
to
align
with
the
minneapolis
2040
comprehensive
plan.
P
P
Slide,
there's
a
lot
of
policy
change
here:
six
different
program,
guidelines
and
policy
changes
to
be
exact
and
some
very
significant
shifts
on
how
we
do
business.
I'm
going
to
frame
the
discussion
in
terms
of
high
level
program
and
policy
recommendations.
There's
a
lot
of
additional
detail
about
the
specific
changes
in
the
cross.
In
the
request
for
council
action.
P
There
are
also
options
that
council
can
elect.
We'll
do
our
best
to
highlight
those
in
the
conversation
next
slide.
Minneapolis
homes
is
an
umbrella
name
for
a
variety
of
housing
products.
We
provide
home
buyer
support,
focused
on
improving
access
to
home
ownership
through
education
and
down
payment
assistance
property.
We
manage
city-owned
land
and
offer
it
for
sale
to
achieve
city
goals
and
reinvigorate
vacant
spaces
and
financing.
P
P
Since
minneapolis
homes
was
launched
in
2017.
Conversations
in
minneapolis
about
housing
policy
have
evolved.
Common
themes
from
policies
passed
by
this
council
include
that
unjust
policies
led
to
the
disparities
of
today
that
are
most
pronounced
for
black
indigenous
people
of
color
and
immigrant
communities.
P
These
conversations
led
the
city
to
commission
a
study
in
2019
to
look
specifically
at
market
trends,
impacting
the
homebuyer
market
in
minneapolis
and
best
practices
for
increasing
the
rate
of
longer-term,
affordable
housing
through
minneapolis
programs.
Grounded
solutions.
Network
was
selected
for
the
study
and
will
be
presenting
their
report
in
a
moment
as
a
complement
to
that
market
study
city
staff,
piloted
several
programs
over
the
course
of
the
last
several
years
to
look
at
different
ways
of
doing
development.
P
We
have
continuously
engaged
community
members
in
a
conversation
to
better
understand
how
we
might
adjust
our
programs.
During
the
past
year,
we've
reflected
on
the
learnings
from
grounded
solutions,
network,
the
community
engagement
themes,
we've
heard
and
the
city
policy
discussions
and
looked
critically
at
our
home
buyer
programs.
P
First,
there
are
several
city
policies
that
call
for
ending
racial
disparities
in
home
ownership.
Minneapolis
disparities
are
among
the
worst
in
the
nation.
We
wanted
to
conscientiously
look
at
what
it
would
take
to
end
racial
disparities
in
homeownership.
As
a
component
of
this
work,
based
on
the
best
data
we
have
today,
we
would
need
to
support
nearly
thirteen
thousand
bypac
renter
households
in
their
path
to
home
ownership,
grounded
solutions
network
did
additional
analysis
to
look
more
specifically
at
the
incomes
of
bipoc
renters
in
the
city
of
minneapolis.
P
Eighty-Five
percent
of
bypoc
renters
have
household
incomes
below
eighty
percent
of
area,
median
income
and
over
half
are
below
thirty
percent
of
area
median
income.
This
context
of
who
we're
trying
to
serve
combined
with
the
community
voices
and
research
about
national
best
practices
help
to
shape
our
recommendations
next
life.
P
P
I
mentioned
earlier
that
85
percent
of
bypoc
renters
have
household
incomes
below
80
percent
of
every
median
income
and
over
half
or
below
30
percent
of
area
median
income
to
better
focus
our
limited
resources.
We
recommend
focusing
on
80
percent
of
area,
median
income
and
below
across
all
of
our
home
buyer
financing
programs.
P
We
recommend
providing
sufficient
subsidy
to
serve
three
different
income
tiers
to
provide
a
diversity
of
affordable
housing
units.
Later
naaman
freeman
from
grounded
solutions
network
will
share
the
subsidy
that's
needed
to
achieve
this.
There
is
an
option
to
consider
eliminating
one
or
more
income
tiers.
P
P
We
have
four
different
programs
that
are
doing
similar
things.
We
recommend
consolidating
into
a
single
programming
process.
We
found
significant
success
through
programs
that
broadly
advertise
last
year,
over
a
hundred
people
came
to
our
broadly
advertised
information
session
and
half
of
the
developers
approved
for
funding
were
buy
pocky-led.
P
Community
engagement
clarified
that
perpetually,
affordable
housing
with
a
term
that
renews
every
30
years
is
preferable.
Habitat
will
have
the
same
options
to
partner
with
perpetually
affordable
housing
models
or
create
their
own
perpetually,
affordable
housing
model
that
other
developers
have
which
I'll
be
describing
on
the
next
slide.
P
We
additionally
heard
strong
support
for
city
of
lakes,
community
land
trust,
which
is
the
only
perpetually
affordable
housing
model.
Currently,
however,
some
community
members
framed
that
clclt's
model
won't
work
for
them
for
those
community
members,
the
concept
of
a
ground
lease
was
uncomfortable,
there's
a
strong
value
for
the
ownership
of
both
the
land
and
the
building.
P
P
Our
response
is
a
recommendation
to
create
a
city
sponsored
perpetually,
affordable
housing
model,
utilizing
a
two
percent
fixed
rate
resale
formula.
The
recommendation
is
to
continue
to
be
open
to
new
models
or
formulas
that
come
from
community
naaman
will
be
speaking
to
additional
detail
about
the
city,
sponsored
perpetually,
affordable
housing
model
in
the
next
presentation.
P
There
is
a
perpetually
affordable

Financing

proposing
a

demonstrates
perpetual

utilizing
the
city's
new

percent

P
P
D
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
thank
you
roxanne
for
this
presentation.
I'm
very
excited
about
the
work
I
will
say.
I
wish
that
I
could
have
been
a
little
bit
more
involved
with
someone
whose
ward
is
so
impacted
by
it,
as
well
as
someone
who's
been
quite
frequently
in
conversation
with
you
all
about
it,
so
I'm
planning
on
taking
some
time,
unfortunately
just
got
the
packet
for
today's
meeting
yesterday,
so
I've
only
been
able
to
briefly
go
through
the
report
but
plan
to
do
so
more.
D
P
So
the
action
that's
being
taken
currently,
we
have
a
program
called
minneapolis
homes
build
and
that
advertises
all
of
our
vacant
land
in
north
minneapolis
through
a
rolling
application
process.
So
all
of
our
lots
are
posted
online
and
someone
can
submit
an
offer
at
any
time
and
purchase
land
for
its
appraised
value
with
very
few
requirements
and
restrictions.
P
The
change
that's
happening
is
we're,
saying
we're
going
to
end
accepting
offers
through
that
program
by
august
31st
of
2020
and
moving
forward
we're
going
to
reserve
all
of
our
vacant
land
and
market
it
through
our
minneapolis
homes.
Financing
program
that
program
has
affordability
requirements,
sustainability
requirements
for
the
development
we
look
at.
P
D
And
so
you
all
expect,
then,
by
having
those
additional
restrictions
and
guidelines
for
buyers
to
follow
that
that
will
inherently
slow
down
the
process.
I
guess
kind
of
a
part
of
the
the
intention
of
requesting
slowing
down
the
sale
of
land
is
is
from
from
my
experience
of
the
conversations
I've
had
with
my
constituents
is
around
the
community
wanting
to
be
able
to
have
more
agency
and
ownership
over
the
land
itself,
as
one
of
my
constituents
said
like
we.
D
If,
if
we
have
a
vacant
lot
on
our
block,
then
like
we
as
if
we
as
neighbors
decide
that
we
want
to
put
an
alien
landing
pad
on
that
vacant
lot,
we
should
be
able
to
have
some
say
in
in
what
happens
with
that
land.
I
mean
it's
obviously
kind
of
like
a
humorous
extreme
example,
but
you
know,
like
the
the
point
being,
that
folks
want
to
be
able
to
have
more
agency
over
the
land,
because,
while
it's
city
owned,
it's
like,
it
is
therefore
publicly.
B
D
Know,
like
you
know
how
kind
of
like
that
in
between
space,
and
so
so,
I
think,
that's
kind
of
a
little
bit
more
of
what
I'm
asking
is
like
you
know.
So
is
it
that
the
expectation
through
these
new
restrictions,
that
it
will
slow
down
and
also
how
does
that
actually
increase
the
agency
of
community
and
what
happens
to
the
land
that
is
on
our
blocks
and
in
our
neighborhoods.
P
I
do
think
that
applying
additional
requirements
and
restrictions
on
our
city-owned
land
is
inherently
going
to
slow
down
the
process
of
selling
our
land
and
and-
and
I
would
also
say
I
would
also
say-
I'm-
I'm
committed
to
continuing
the
conversation.
If
there
are
additional
ideas
about
how
we
can
provide
additional
agency,
then
I'm
certainly
committed
to
having
that
conversation.
D
Thank
you.
So
thank
you
for
that
additional
information.
That's
I
a
part
of
my
desire
for
wishing
that
I
have
been
able
to
be
more
involved,
is
being
able
to
like
also
expand
the
pool
of
folks
who
are
involved.
I
did
read
through
the
community
engagement
component
and
and
felt
as
though
I
could
have
possibly
helped
to
scale
that
up
and
raise
greater
awareness
around
it.
I
think
that
you
all
did
phenomenal
like
the
kind
of
work
that
was
done.
D
D
You
know
I,
and-
and-
and
you
know
this
like
I've
asked
several
times
around
like-
is
it
possible
for
us
to
have
a
clear
strategic
plan
about
what
are
we
using
the
land
for
and
like?
How
are
we
leverage
specifically
leveraging
the
land?
I
I
think
that
we're
kind
of
starting
to
get
there,
but
I
think
that
it's
just
hard
for
my
constituents
to
make
the
connection
between,
like
the
land,
that's
being
sold
from
their
perspective
and
in
mind,
we're
changing
it
very
rapidly.
D
It's
like
what
are
what's
the
greater
outcome,
so
I'm
starting
to
see
that
here
a
little
bit
more,
but
I
would
like
to
be
able
to
stay
in
conversation
around
what
does
agency
look
like
you
know
outside
of
like
submitting
it
for
public
comment
or
neighborhood
associations,
so
just
wanted
to
share
that.
So
I
look
forward
to
continuing
conversations
and
I
see
andrea
wants
to
possibly
jump
in
if
that's
okay.
Madam
president,.
B
Q
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
councilmember
cunningham.
I
just
wanted
to
jump
in
and
and
reassure
the
council
that
we
absolutely
have
heard
the
the
request
and
the
interest
in
looking
more
comprehensively
at
a
broad
strategy
around
overall
community
ownership
options
and
more
community
agency,
as
it
relates
to
all
of
our
programs
and
certainly
as
it
relates
to
the
disposition
of
any
city
owned
or
controlled
property.
B
B
F
B
And
I
so
I
just
want
to
highlight
and
acknowledge
that
at
the
foundation
of
this
work
of
this
presentation,
the
next
one
is
the
position
that
this
council
took
to
really
prioritize.
Affordable
housing
options
in
every
neighborhood,
including
those
that
currently
have
lower
housing
costs
and
prices,
and
to
really
prioritize
a
number
of
goals
related
to
race,
equity
and
housing.
B
So
it
really
matters
I
think,
to
have
you
know
all
of
your
voices
as
part
of
this
discussion
and
to
have
some
of
those
higher
level
goals
set
by
this
council,
and
so
with
that.
I
will
then
move
us
on
to
the
next.
The
presentation
for
the
next
item
and
again,
thank
you
to
the
cped
staff
and
ms
campbell.
You
were
probably
planning
to
lead
off
on
this
presentation
as
well.
So
I'll
turn
it
back
over
to
you,
oh
and
I
do
see
comment
from
council
vice
president
jenkins,.
G
In
our
city
related
to
home
ownership,
between
blacks
and
and
the
broader
community,
and
really
wanted
to
highlight
miss
erica
coleman's
contributions
to
this
work
as
well
and
just
thank
the
whole
entire
cpa
staff,
particularly
the
housing
division
for
bringing
this
work
forward.
Thank
you,
madam
president,.
B
P
K
K
K
This
pattern
is
consistent
nationally
and
it's
important
to
note
as
I'll
come
back
to
it
as
we
discuss
how
the
resale
formula
preserves.
Affordability,
the
increase
in
median
income
is
reflective
of
both
the
increasing
incomes
of
existing
residents
and
migration
of
higher
income
households
into
the
city
next
slide.
K
K
generally,
prices
across
the
city
have
recovered.
Since
the
great
recession,
however,
increases
in
prices
have
not
been
even
across
all
11
minneapolis
communities
in
communities
where
home
prices
have
historically
been
more
affordable.
There's
they've
seen
an
increa
an
increase
in
home
prices
that
was
much
more.
That's
been
much
faster
than
more
fluent
neighborhoods,
particularly
in
the
communities
near
of
near
north
camden
and
powderhorn,
where
the
effects
of
the
foreclosure
crisis
were
more
profound.
K
An
affordable
home
ownership
program
would
target
households
that
are
currently
renters
black
indigenous
and
other
poc
households
are
more
likely
to
rent
their
home
than
white
households.
Here
you
can
see
by
fox
renters.
In
particular.
This
includes
black
hispanic
asian
native
indigenous
and
households
of
other
ethnicities,
a
whopping
eighty-five
percent
of
bypoc
households
are
below
eighty
percent
of
ami,
almost
three
quarters
or
below
fifty
percent
of
ami.
K
Next
slide,
looking
more
closely
the
number
of
households
in
each
income
tier
varies
widely
between
race
or
ethnicity.
There
aren't
even
3
000
total
black
runners
between
51
percent
of
ami
and
100
of
ami
referencing
roxanne's
earlier
slides.
The
city
would
have
to
convert
thirteen
thousand
by
pocket
winners.
A
K
The
total
subsidy
need
is
the
sum
of
the
affordability
gap
highlighted
in
dark
orange
and
the
project
gap
highlighted
in
light
orange
affordability
gap
is
the
difference
between
the
price
a
household
can
afford,
and
the
market
value
of
a
home
project
gap
is
the
difference
between
the
market
value
and
the
total
development
cost
of
the
home,
in
the
case
that,
most
in
the
case
that
it
cost
more
to
build
a
home
than
what
a
developer
could
sell
it
for.
On
the
open
market,
the
total
subsidy
need
to
develop
an
affordable
home
to
a
household
earning.
K
K
G
K
Time
so
the
affordability
gap,
which
is
highlighted
in
dark
orange,
is
the
difference
between
what
a
household
can
afford
or
what
is
determined
to
be
the
affordable
price
for
a
household
and
the
market
price
or
appraised
value
of
the
home.
The
project
gap
is
the
difference
between
that
appraised
value
and
the
total
development
cost,
or
the
amount
of
cost
to
build
or
developed
at
home.
In
many
cases,
as
roxanne
spoke
to
earlier,
it
costs
more
to
build
the
home
than
what
that
home
is
actually
appraised
for.
D
K
K
Yes,
I
I'm
gonna
speak
to
it
a
little
bit
later
as
well,
but
I'll
kind
of
try
and
re-explain
the
extent
of
which
I've
talked
about
it
already.
But
the
reason
why
the
city
is
starting
to
want
to
recommend
keeping
its
current
minneapolis
homes.
Recapture
program
is
because
the
affordability
gap,
as
you
see
on
the
far
left-hand
bar
for
eighty
percent
of
ami,
is
maybe
so
small.
B
I
see
councilmember
gordon
has
a
question,
but
I
have
a
quick
follow-up,
which
is,
I
mean,
is
another
way
to
say
this,
that
if
the
city
chooses
to
continue
to
pursue
that
80
ami
level,
that
that's
it's
just
a
different
approach
than
really
targeting
more
city
dollars
to
the
deeper
levels
of
affordability,
at
which
point
we
would
likely
want
to
maintain
a
requirement
of
affordability,
so
they're
all
they're,
almost
two
different
strategies.
The
80
ama
strategy,
isn't
so
much
about
maintaining
those
deeper
level
of
affordability.
B
H
F
Sorry
here
I'm
getting
up
to
speed,
so
I-
and
I
am
it-
was
it's
curious
about
the
long-term
cost
of
keeping
it
perpetually
affordable
and
what
those
might
be
to
me.
But
I
also
when
I
was
looking
at
this
slide,
was
I'm
struck
by
how
out
of
proportion
appraised
value
seems
to
be
with
what
people
are
making,
and
it
just
struck
me
that
what
we
really
need
to
focus
on
is
how
could
we
actually
lower
the
cost
of
building
some
housing?
F
And
I
understand
this-
this
is
the
280
000
appraised
value
is,
must
have
three
bedrooms.
It
looks
like
it's
for
a
family
of
four
and
I'm
not
sure
how
many
bathrooms
or
any
of
those
kinds
of
things,
but
one
other
way
to
get
to
meet
these
needs
would
actually
be
to
figure
out
ways
to
manufacture
or
build
these
homes
that
weren't
so
expensive,
so
that
they
could
actually
be
closer
to
what
people
could
afford
are
also,
of
course,
raising
the
wages
and
nobody
really
needs
to
respond
to
that.
F
F
P
B
I
have
one
more
detailed
question
that
actually
represented
from
the
land
trust
sent
to
council
members,
which
is
specific
to
the
mechanism
for
the
two
percent
fixed
rate
model.
If
it's
a
deed
restriction
or
a
ground
lease
or
a
mortgage,
or
can
you
speak
more
to
the
financing
details
of
that
tool
from
the.
P
B
That
decision-
and
I
know
it's
been
one
again
of
kind
of
a
long-standing
question,
because
both
of
those
goals
are
goals
of
the
city
and
goals
that
the
city
council
has
voice
support
for
so
just
weighing
the
kind
of
pros
and
cons
of
those
approaches
for
this
specific
tool
is
one
of
the
main
policy
questions
before
us,
any
other
questions
or
comments
at
this
stage.
Otherwise,
we'll
ask
for
the
next
slides
to
continue.
B
K
K
The
city
is
recommending
the
prior
prioritization
of
perpetually
affordable
home
ownership
programs.
The
pah
program
will
diversify
perpetually
affordable
options.
The
goal
of
this
is
to
be
more
accessible
for
low
wealth
households
and
by
pocky
developers.
To
that
end,
the
city
will
continue
to
support
critical
partners
such
as
clclt.
K
The
program
will
apply
to
new
construction
and
acquisition
of
existing
homes.
We
believe
proposals
for
acquisition
are
essential
to
maximizing
the
efficient
use
of
subsidy,
because
the
cost
is
significantly
less
than
building
new
units.
The
program
will
serve
lower
ami,
specifically
those
below
60
and
40
percent
of
ami
next
slide.
K
The
program
will
serve
households
with
incomes
at
or
below
80
percent,
60
and
40
percent
of
ami
income
limits
correspond
with
hud
income
limits
and
will
vary
by
household
size
for
each
of
those
income
limits.
The
below
market,
affordable
price
will
be
pre-determined
using
met
council
assumptions
for
what
is
affordable
for
households,
earning
70,
50
and
30
percent
of
ami.
K
This
would
increase
the
pool
of
eligible
buyers
by
making
it
more
likely
that
someone
below
80
percent
of
ami,
but
above
61
of
ami,
could
afford
the
below
market
price.
So,
for
example,
let's
take
a
four
person
household
at
sixty
percent
of
am
ami
earning,
let's
say
around
sixty
thousand
dollars
a
year.
The
affordable
price
for
that
household
and
any
four-person
household
earning
between
forty-one
percent
and
60
of
ami
would
be
170
000
that
affordable
price
is
calculated
using
the
annual
income
of
a
four-person
household
earning
50
of
ami.
K
This
is
because,
if
we
set
the
price
at
what's
affordable
for
a
household
at
sixty
percent
of
ami,
it's
possible
that
it
might
not
be
affordable
to
households
at
52
percent
of
ami
or
48
percent
of
ami.
That
also
can't
income
qualify
for
the
40
percent
of
ami
bracket
below
market
prices
will
vary
by
the
size
of
the
unit
or
a
number
of
bedrooms
to
take
into
account
the
varying
incomes
and
purchasing
power
of
different
sized
households.
K
K
a
question
we
asked
the
community
was
how
much
should
we
prioritize
perpetual
affordability?
For
most,
we
heard
a
very
strong
desire
to
create
perpetual
affordability
throughout
minneapolis
as
a
city-wide
strategy
which
drove
our
recommendations
to
expand
projects,
types
and
perpetual,
affordable
housing
options.
K
However,
we
also
heard
that
north
minneapolis,
where
most
city-owned
land
is
concentrated.
You
see
the
twin
effects
of
the
foreclosure
crisis
and
a
tornado
led
to
a
significant
reduction
in
community
ownership
of
land.
Something
we
heard
from
the
community
members
in
north
minneapolis
was
that
the
city
should
continue
to
have
an
option
for
a
wealth
building
opportunity
of
down
payment
financing
which
is
recaptured
upon
sale
and
does
not
layer,
affordability,
restrictions
in
north
minneapolis
housing
prices
in
many
areas
are
still
naturally
affordable
to
households
below
80
percent
of
the
mi.
K
In
these
communities,
project
gap
for
the
difference
between
total
development
cost
and
market
value
is
more
necessary
and
is
forgiven
upon
sale
to
a
home
buyer.
A
three
bedroom
home
constructed
in
near
north
community
could
be
valued
at
approximately
285
000
and,
as
a
result,
the
affordability
gap
to
a
home
buyer
could
be
as
little
as
20
000
or
roughly
a
seven
percent
discount,
while
in
contrast,
the
same
home
in
nokomis
could
appraise
for
350
dollars
simply
because
of
the
different
market
conditions
in
that
neighborhood.
K
To
create
perpetual
affordability
units
will
be
subject
to
a
30-year
term
of
affordability
that
resets
at
each
resale.
If
a
homeowner
owns
the
home
for
the
full
term,
they
can
either
record
a
new
30-year
covenant,
sell
the
home
to
the
city
or
a
qualified
buyer,
or
make
a
payment
to
the
city
for
the
portion
of
their
appreciate,
appreciation
and
value
of
the
home.
That
would
remain
with
the
home.
Should
it
be
resold
at
the
resale,
restricted
price
next
slide.
K
Arguably,
the
most
important
element
of
a
program
that
provides
perpetual
affordability
is
the
resale
formula.
Given
the
feedback
we
received
during
our
engagement
with
stakeholders
and
practitioners,
we
wanted
to
recommend
something
that
is
transparent
for
both
homeowners
and
administrators,
providing
a
predictable
opportunity
for
wealth
building
and
most
important
a
formula
that
created
perpetual
affordability
through
varying
markets.
K
K
As
roxanne
stated
earlier,
the
city
would
be
reissuing
an
rfq
for
qualified
administrators.
We
would
encourage
both
existing
lta
providers
and
new
administrators
to
apply
non-qualified
administrators
would
be
allowed
to
participate
in
the
program.
Only
through
partnership
with
a
qualified
administrator
qualified
administrators
would
be
required
to
market
and
facilitate
initial
initial
sales
and
resales.
K
After
consultation
with
the
city's
attorney's
office,
it
was
determined
that
this
could
be
done
in
a
way
that
was
consistent
with
the
pah
program,
because
the
current
unified
housing
policy
states
that
the
minimum
affordability
period
for
ic
units
shall
be
20
years.
We
recommend
changing
the
affordability
period
to
a
30-year
term
that
resets
at
resale
to
mirror
the
term
of
the
pah
units.
D
Cunningham,
thank
you,
madam
president.
This
this
is
very
interesting
and-
and
I
appreciate
all
the
work
that
cped
staff
and
granite
solutions
have
have
done
over
this
over
a
year
now.
So
I'm
very
grateful
for
this.
This
might
be
a
little
bit
more
of
a
question
for
the
city
assessor,
but
I'm
just
curious
about
like
how
maybe
this
has
fit
into
the
conversations,
but
how
will
permanently
affordable
housing
impact
market
values
overall
for
neighborhoods,
I'm
just
curious.
If
that
has
been
discussed.
P
D
Yes,
I
would
be.
I
would
be
curious
about
that,
because
market
values
have
been
really
rapidly
have
been
really
rapidly
increasing
in
north
in
the
past
couple
of
years,
and
so
so
I'm
curious
about
how
the
permanently
affordable,
housing
or
perpetually
affordable
housing
would
impact
that.
But
I'm
also
curious
about
the
the
recapture
approach
within
the
markets
that
are
rapidly
increasing,
like
we
have
in
camden
and
near
north
and
because
I
100
agree
that
we
need
to
be
having
wealth
creation
opportunities.
D
One
of
the
things
that's
tricky
for
me
as
a
council
member
for
this,
for
my
community
is
that
we
want
to
be
able
to
increase
affordability
and
accessibility
and
stability,
and
also
it's
not
fair,
that
housing
was
home.
Ownership
was
used
as
a
wealth,
building
creation
opportunity
that
then
created
these
wealth
disparities
and
then
folks
by
park,
particularly
black
folks,
not
being
able
to
access
that
same
opportunity.
So
I
I
agree
with
the
opera,
like
with
the
space
of
needing
to
create
wealth,
building
opportunities.
D
I
guess
that
what
I'm
curious
about,
though,
is
if
so
so
then,
are
we
just
looking
to
create
that
first
time
that
person
who
who
buys
the
house
the
first
time,
excuse
me
aiming
that
towards,
hopefully
bipod
folks
who
fit
within
that
income
bracket?
Are
we
just
aiming
for
for
that
individual
or
families
to
be
able
to
access
the
wealth
creation
opportunity
and
then
it's
like,
then
the
resale
could
be
potentially
to
somebody
who
makes
way
more
money
than
that,
and
maybe
is
not
a
person
of
color.
D
I
just
wanted
to
get
clarification
about
kind
of
like
what
is
the
intention
and
with
rapidly
increasing
markets.
If
there
isn't
any
sort
of
intentionality
around
that,
like
it
might
not
be
able
to
the
second
home,
buyer
might
not
be
able
to
reap
those
same
wealth
creation
opportunities.
So
I
was
just
curious
about
the
thoughts
on
that.
P
It's
one
of
the
items
that
we
debated
the
most,
I
would
say
amongst
our
staff
discussion.
We
also
asked
for
a
lot
of
community
input
and
feedback.
What's
before
you
is
what
we
think
represents
a
reflection
of
the
community
feedback
that
we
received,
but
council
could
always
the
council
could
certainly
make
a
decision
to
say
we
think
perpetually,
affordable
housing
is,
is,
is
more
important
and,
and
we
don't
want
to
see
a
recapture
option.
F
Could
you
just
remind
us
and
tell
us
a
little
bit
about
maybe
when
we
would
use
the
land,
trust
and-
and
I
think
people
probably
understand
how
that's
a
little
bit
different-
usually
there's
an
opportunity,
though,
for
some
equity
to
be
built
up
and
a
lot
of
people
who
buy
a
land.
Trust
house
actually
sell
it
for
more
and
then
they
bought
it
for
and
have,
and
then
they
move
on
and
maybe
buy
another
house
that
doesn't
have
a
land
trust
so
looking
kind
of
globally
at
it
all.
F
P
Yet
councilmember
gordon,
I
I
would
say
I
would
say,
because
we
haven't
launched
our
city
model,
yet
it's
hard
to
predict
how
how
many
folks
would
choose
that
option
versus
the
land
trust
option
the
way
or
or
for
that
matter
versus
creating
a
third
option.
We
are
working
to
ensure
that
our
something
we
heard
specifically
from
community
members
was
that
they
they
wanted
us
to
have
openness
to
a
cooperative
housing
model,
for
example,
coming
forward
with
their
own
model
and
their
own
their
own
structure.
P
There
certainly
could
be
our
our
intention,
sorry
councilmember,
gordon.
Yes,
there
certainly
could
be.
Our
intention
is
to
do
a
broad-based
rfp
for
qualified
administrators
in
order
to
in
order
to
try
and
have
a
diverse
cross-section
of
organizations
that
are
helping
us
with
administering
this
program.
F
F
When
will
we
be
evaluating
the
success
of
that?
When
will
we
look
at
that
and
maybe
can
look
back
and
see
if
it
worked,
and
what
did
it
open
up
and
how
many
folks
chose
that,
and
I
I'd
like
to-
I
guess-
have
a
check
in
reasonably
soon-
and
I
know
these
things
roll
out
very
slowly,
but
even
in
a
year
would
seem
reasonably
soon,
but
have
you
thought
about
that
and
one
will
be
evaluating
whether
or
not
it's
effective.
P
I
yes
council,
member,
gordon,
generally
speaking,
we
were
constantly
evaluating
our
programs
and
making
adjustments.
We
expect
to
continue
that
practice.
We
framed
that
in
2024,
we'd,
like
to
step
back
and
do
a
more
comprehensive
evaluation
of
is,
is
the
effect
of
these
policy
changes
that
we're
recommending
today,
what
we're
expecting
or
or
are
we
not
mis?
F
F
I
want
to
apologize
to
my
colleagues
that
we
don't
have
normal
operating
committee
structures.
This
certainly
would
have
been
something
that
would
have
come
to
the
housing
committee
for
a
longer
discussion
and
possibly
with
briefings
for
each
committee
member
before
it
actually
went
there.
I
know
it's
very
complicated,
I'm
so
glad
we
were
able
to
have
a
study
session
in
person
while
we
could
still
meet
in
person.
F
But
I
think
this
is
a
great
body
of
work
and
I
think
it
represents
a
lot
of
detail
and
nuance
so
that
we're
carefully
stepping
into
some
new
territories,
but
that
are
more
consistent
with
what
we're
after
well,
I'm
certainly
open
to
making
some
tweaks
and
we're
working
on
it
between
now
and
or
even
now.
But
for
the
purpose
of
this
meeting,
I'd
like
to
move
both
items,
I
think
it
was
45
and
46
at
this
time
for
discussion,
and
so
we
can
have
it
before
us
to
consider
properly.
B
Thank
you,
council,
member
gordon,
who
has
moved
both
of
the
items.
Is
there
any
further
discussion
on
them
and
councilman
gordon?
I
had
put
in
the
chat
the
associated
items
with
the
first
of
these
two.
The
the
motion
on
the
second
of
the
two
items
also
is
relatively
detailed,
which
is
also
available
in
the
agenda
in
limbs
well
and
see.
If
there's
any
other
questions
or
comments
on
the
motion,
I
did
want
to
ask
just
a
couple
more
things.
P
B
For
sure,
thank
you
and
not
intended
to
be
a
quiz
by
any
means,
but
I
think
understanding
a
little
bit
better.
The
options
around
that
financing
tool,
and
especially
just
with
the
ups
and
downs
that
we're
seeing
in
our
market
and
understanding
that
scenario
with
the
foreclosure
and
kind
of
how
the
city,
what
risk
the
city
would
be
taking
on
and
what
tools
we
would
have
to
prevent
foreclosure
would
be
really
helpful.
B
I
just
want
to
clarify
that
if
we
decided,
for
example,
to
say
we're
not
going
to
pursue
the
80
option
from
the
first
presentation,
that
would
likely
mean
that
we
would
be
making
the
decision
to
prioritize
housing,
affordability
and
therefore
would
be
also
choosing
along
with
that,
the
perpetual,
affordable
option.
So
that's
kind
of
how
the
two
presentations
and
the
two
policy
questions
go
together.
P
P
I
there's
there's
sort
of
a
separate
decision.
I
would
say
about
serving
61
to
80
ami
households
throughout
the
city.
There
are
other
markets
in
the
city
that
are
not
currently
accessible
to
households
that
are
between
61
and
80
percent,
and,
and
it
would
just
mean
a
difference
in
subsidy
need
in
those
communities.
B
Great,
thank
you,
and
I
know
we've
covered
this
point
many
times,
but
I
I
think
it
is
important
both
for
you
know,
of
course,
council
members,
but
for
the
public
to
understand
kind
of
how
how
the
different
models
and
the
different
emis
translate
into
kind
of
plain
language
policy
questions.
So
thanks
for
doing
that
so
many
times
in
this
meeting
council
vice
president
jenkins.
G
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
you
know
I
I
absolutely
appreciate
this
presentation
and
and
all
the
efforts
to
really
create
affordable
home
ownership
and
perpetually
affordable
home
ownership.
Though,
as
you
just
noted,
I
mean
it,
you
know,
markets
fluctuate
and
so
the
perpetualness
could
could
shift.
G
So
I
I
wanted
to
just
make
a
couple
of
philosophical
points.
A
we
really
need
to
be
working
on
income,
and
I
mean
to
me
that
seems
to
be
the
glaring
problem,
and
I
know
we
have
you
know
raised
15
minimum
wage,
but
you
know
the
the
issues
of
structural
racism.
Don't
really
go
away
if,
if
the
price
of
building
a
home
continues
to
go
up
the
the
area,
median
income
continues
to
go
up,
but
the
people
at
the
lowest
rate
rung
of
the
income
ladder
are
the
people
who
are.
G
It
seems
like
the
the
problem
is
perpetual,
so
you
know,
and-
and
maybe
that
stated
in
the
obvious-
I'm
not
sure
you
know
home
ownership,
the
a
a
wonderful
byproduct
of
homeownership
is
you
know
you,
you
generate
income
or
not
income.
Actually,
you
generate
wealth
potentially,
but
just
as
that,
you
could
potentially
generate
well.
You
could
potentially
lose
wealth.
G
B
I
K
C
K
B
Of
course,
I
think,
especially
in
this
virtual
environment,
the
more
time
the
better
that
can
be
given
for
council
members
to
look
through
any
amendments
that
may
come.
So
thanks
everyone
for
that
discussion.
The
next
item
is
number
47,
which
is
an
update
regarding
the
911
minneapolis
police
department,
work
group
and
we'll
have
brian
smith
from
the
city
coordinator's
office,
leading
that
update
I'll.
Make
sure
that,
after
that
very
long
discussion
that
we
have
the
coordinator's
office
staff
ready
to
go
and
we'll
welcome.
Mr
smith,
when
you
are
ready.
M
S
Last
fall:
a
workgroup
was
formed
to
analyze
dispatch
call
categories
to
determine
whether
there
were
opportunities
to
expand
the
city's
ability
to
respond
to
911
calls
beyond
the
minneapolis
police
department.
The
group
met
four
times
throughout
the
fall
to
analyze
data
and
to
raise
scope
and
vet
ideas
for
alternative
response.
S
These
were
the
recommendations
that
came
out
of
the
work
group
last
fall
on
the
left.
You'll
see
examples
of
some
of
the
ideas
that
were
surfaced
during
the
ideation
phase
of
the
work
group
and
on
the
right
were.
The
recommendations
of
what
to
move
forward
from
the
work
group
in
blue
at
the
bottom
were
recommendations
that
could
move
into
implementation
phase
without
further
study,
we
removed
expanding
corresponders,
as
that
ultimately
was
an
expansion
of
police
response,
but
theft
report
only
calls
with
with
attention
required
to
certain
operational
aspects
could
move
forward
to
implementation.
S
O
Thank
you,
andrew
andrea
and
hello
council,
president
vendor
and
council
members.
I'm
gina
allen,
program
manager
in
the
office
of
performance
and
innovation
and
I'll
now
discuss
the
current
focus
of
our
work
and
why
the
work
group
decided
to
focus
on
these
areas
as
I'm
going
through.
This
feel
free
to
ask
me
any
questions
that
you
may
have
next
slide.
Please.
O
O
O
O
The
two
areas
that
were
scoped
as
a
focus
for
prototyping
this
year
were
reporting
reporting
calls
an
emotionally
disturbed
person,
also
known
as
edp
or
mental
health
crisis.
Calls
reporting
call
codes,
are
low
risk
calls
for
service
that
generally
revolve
around
theft,
property
damage
and
parking
or
traffic
issues.
O
O
Edp
is
a
more
complicated
category
and
is
larger
in
volume
and
time
and
represents
core
competencies
outside
of
traditional
police
training.
It
is
a
high
priority
that
we
are
sending
responders
to
these
calls,
who
have
a
strong
mental
health
skill
set
so
that
so
that
residents
get
the
support
that
is
most
appropriate
for
their
needs.
O
O
O
I
I
Back
one
more,
please,
I
guess
it
would
be
back
one
yeah
perfect,
all
right
so
just
to
clarify
for
the
public
this
following
along
when
we
see
five
to
ten
percent
of
officer
time
spent
on
calls
for
mental
health
crisis
calls
and
then
10
to
15
for
report
only
calls
should
that
be
interpreted
as
15
to
25
percent
of
total
officer.
Time
from
a
total
pool
of
officers
is
spent
between
these
two
categories
of.
B
D
O
D
Thank
you
because
I
just
I
just
want
to
be
able
to
name
that
travis
jordan.
He
he
had
a
police
interaction
that
ultimately
led
to
his
death
due
to
a
wellness
check
related
to
his
mental
health.
So
I
understand
that's
a
different
classified
differently,
but
it
really
falls
within
a
similar
need,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
to
make
sure
to
name
that,
because
that's
a
particular
issue,
given
that
he
was
my
resident,
that
I
would
really
like
for
us
to
think
about.
O
Thank
you
for
that
comment.
Councilmember
cunningham.
That
is
an
excellent
point.
The
work
group
did
start
with
these
two
areas
of
problem
nature
codes
and
has
the
ability,
depending
on
council
direction,
to
expand
that
into
looking
into
the
other
problem.
Nature
codes
that
would
include
wellness
checks.
B
If
I
may,
I
I
wanted
to
jump
in
with
a
follow-up
question
on
this
topic
and
it's
okay.
If,
if
the
answer
is
to
follow
up
further
with
council
members,
but
I
my
understanding
is
that
hennepin
county
has
a
pilot
program
underway
now
related
to
responding
to
9-1-1
calls
with
a
particularly
focused
on
mental
health,
but
that
they've
they've
kind
of
shifted
their
staffing
approach
within
the
9-1-1
call
center
itself.
O
O
O
O
Just
as
we
were
about
to
engage
in
this
process,
covet
19
interrupted
us
that
slowed
the
project
down
temporarily,
as
we
adjusted
to
a
new
way
of
life
and
doing
our
work.
We
pivoted
by
focusing
on
the
survey
on
the
survey
that
could
be
completed
while
ensuring
the
safety
of
residents
and
staff,
keeping
it
keeping
it
open
longer
and
doing
multiple
targeted
push-outs
is
allowing
us
to
receive
a
lot
of
useful
resident
feedback
and
still
make
this
piece
of
the
process.
Rigorous.
O
O
The
next
steps
in
the
process
are
to
create
an
experiment.
This
is
the
fun
part
where
we
envision.
What
ideal
support
would
look
like
for
these.
What
sorry?
This
is
the
fun
part
where
we
envision
what
ideal
support
for
these
911
calls
could
look
like
we
encourage
folks
to
ignore
constraints
and
be
creative.
O
O
O
This
brings
us
to
our
timeline
and
what
you
can
expect
in
november,
we
plan
to
come
with
recommendations
for
what
new
responses
to
edp
and
reporting
calls
that
should
be
piloted
in
2021.
again.
Pilots
are
still
somewhat
of
a
test
environment.
They
are
the
beginning
of
operationalizing
on
a
larger
scale.
By
shifting
from
what
should
we
do
to
actually
doing
something.
O
That's
the
end
of
the
presentation
that
we
have
prepared
for
you,
there's
additional
information
included
in
the
appendix,
including
very
early
budget
estimates
that
can
give
you
a
ballpark
of
the
cost
associated
with
the
call
categories
we're
focusing
on.
We
are
working
to
refine
these
for
november.
O
I
Well,
thank
you,
madam
president,
and
I
know
we
didn't
get
into
the
budget
numbers
and
it
looks
like
and
based
off
of
what
you
just
said
that
these
would
be
refined
a
little
further.
I
did
see
them
in
the
appendix
here
for
edp
calls
and
it
just
seemed
kind
of
a
magnitude
below
what
I
would
expect
when
we
looked
at
slide.
I
think
it
was
six
earlier
around
five
to
ten.
A
I
Of
officers,
time
spent
on
mental
health
crisis
calls,
but
then
in
the
appendix
it
suggests
that
the
total
cost
of
these
calls
yearly
is
under
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
which,
if
it's
five
to
ten
percent
of
the
total
time
of
officers
from
our
patrol
units,
that
would
be
25
to
50
officers
worth
of
time.
I
would
imagine
per
year,
and
so
yes,
maybe
just
some
clarity
on
that
and
I'm
happy
to
chat
more
offline
on
that.
J
And
sorry
for
calling
you
vice
president,
the
first
time
somebody
call
me
so
the
councilmember
johnson
you're
absolutely
correct.
So
there
was
a
little
bit
of
a
mistake
made
earlier
about
this
slide.
The
that's
for
problem.
Nature
codes,
priority
category
zero
through
three,
so
it's
not
total
volume
of
calls.
It's
just
for
a
particular
subset
of
calls
in
priority
nature
code,
category
zero
through
three!
So
that's
why,
when
you
look
at
the
math,
it's
not
a
total
volume
of
calls.
I
Thank
you.
I
appreciate
that
clarification
and
I
I
just
want
to
emphasize
again
here
the
opportunity
I
mean
just
between
these
two
categories:
15
to
25
of
total
officer.
Time
is
a
huge
amount
of
calls,
a
huge
volume
and
a
huge
opportunity
to
have
potentially
better
more
efficient
responses
and
a
higher
quality
of
service
for
our
residents,
and
so
it's
really
promising
work.
That's
being
done,
I
really
appreciate
it
in
the
presentation.
J
We
also
have,
I
think,
9-1-1
director
kathy
hughes,
on
the
line
who,
because
of
the
nature
of
how
the
problem
nature
codes
work
and
how
they're
divided
may
be
able
to
give
a
little
bit
more
specificity
to
it
if
she's
on
the
line.
So
if
she
cares
to
speak
to
that,
because
you
also
have
edp,
which
is
category
one
and
edie,
I'm
sorry
report
only
is
category
three
and
edp
is
priority,
one
within
that.
B
I
Yeah,
thank
you,
council
president.
Really.
The
question
was
related
in
the
appendix
for
this
presentation,
which
is
posted
out
on
limbs.
There
were
estimated
total
costs
of,
for
instance,
responding
to
an
emotionally
or
an
edp
call
emotionally
disturbed
person
call,
and
we
know
that
if
those
calls
represent
five
to
ten
percent
of
officer
time
spent
on
calls
with
the
number
of
patrol
officers
that's
at
least
25
to
50
officers
worth
of
time
per
year.
I
So
I
would
imagine
that
we'd
actually
be
talking
about
a
total
cost
in
the
millions
of
dollars,
not
less
than
half
a
million
dollars,
which
is
on
the
slide.
It
sounds
like
that,
according
to
director
smith,
that
that's
a
known,
maybe
calculation,
error
or
or
a
subset
of
data
that
makes
up
that
discrepancy,
but
I
just
wanted
to
call
it
out
and
seek
clarity
on
this
and
and
really
recognizing
that.
M
N
N
I
think,
there's
been
a
concern
from
people
who
are
new
to
the
conversation
that
we
might
not
have
done
our
homework
or
that
we
might
not
know
what
we're
talking
about,
and
this
is
actually
a
very
good
example
of
the
kind
of
kind
of
deep
data-driven
work
that
this
whole
city
enterprise
is
engaged
in.
To
really
think
about
how
to
do
public
safety
better
and
I
I
think
that's
an
exciting
thing
for
us
to
put
forward.
N
N
That
could
be
done
in
departments
that
are
worth
piloting
that
are
worth
starting
to
do
the
work
of
experimenting
and
trying
out,
and
so
I'm
excited
to
get
those
conversations
going.
And
I
certainly
want
to
make
sure
that
as
we're
going
into
the
2021
budget
cycle,
we
are
fully
informed
by
this
study
and
have
the
opportunity
to
really
put
a
great
deal
of
the
time
and
effort
that
community
members
and
city
staff
have
put
into
this
into
action.
So
I'll
send
that
around
shortly.
So
everybody
can
see
it.
N
And
if
you
have
questions,
you're
certainly
welcome
to
reach
out
to
me
and
we
can
discuss
it
tomorrow
in
budget
committee.
But
I
wanted
to
preview
the
intention
to
provide
a
little
additional
guidance
around
this.
To
make
sure
that
we're
getting
information
in
a
timely
way
and
are
able
to
move
some
of
these
ideas
into
action.
B
Thank
you,
councilmember
fletcher,
and
just
want
to
note
and
appreciate
that
you
worked
with
both
myself
and
budget
chair
palmisano
to
work
out
the
appropriate
timing
and
place
for
that
staff
direction.
So
thank
you.
I
know
I'm
noting
the
time
of
3
45
and
we
have
two
more
pretty
significant
items
and
then
another
meeting
of
one
of
the
boards
and
commissions
begins
at
4
30..
So
I
know
that
this
is
a
really
important
topic.
B
B
So
I
know
our
staff
are
in
touch
with
folks
from
these
other
cities
around
the
country
and
and
we're
both,
I
think,
leading
in
really
innovative
ways
and
then
also
learning
from
our
peer
cities
as
we
work
on
this
together
around
the
country.
So
thanks
everyone
for
that,
I
will
direct
the
clerk
to
receive
and
file
this
update
and
thank
you
again
to
all
the
council
members
who've
been
involved
in
this
and
the
staff
and
the
community
members
who've
served
on
the
911
mpd
work
group.
B
T
What
would
what
would
be
a
geographic
area
short
of
the
whole
city.
I
put
forth
the
map
that
was
identified
by
oem
of
the
damaged
properties
from
the
unrest,
and
I
put
that
out
as
kind
of
wanted
to
indicate
the
the
breadth
and
scope
of
the
damage.
I
know
many
of
you
have
seen
this
map
and
see
how
it's
kind
of
spread
across
the
city,
but
it,
but
you
can
clearly
see
some
areas
suffered
more
substantial
damage
than
others,
and
and
so
with
that.
T
Why
does
that
matter
in
today's
discussion
is
because
I
feel
like
today's
discussion
is
a
little
bit
out
of
sync
with
what
what
may
or
may
not
be
done,
and
so
what
I
mean
by
that
would
be
that.
I
think
it
might
be
premature
for
the
city
to
talk
about
waiving
fees
and
other
other
collected
permit
fees.
If
we're
going
to
be
maybe
seeking
aid
from
the
state
and
I'm
I'm
just
saying,
I
think
that
we
might
want
to
take
a
pause
on
that.
T
I
have
been
working
with
development
services
managers,
particularly
around
the
land,
use,
reviews
and
and
demolition
permits
about.
How
can
we
streamline
things?
How
are
we
going
to
handle
rebuilding
what
properties
had
non-conforming
rights
that
may
not
require
a
public
hearing
at
all?
We've
we've
engaged
with
the
city
attorney
on
the
limits
of
our
authority,
on
that
we
worked
with
our
partners
at
hennepin
county
and
the
assessor's
office,
around
property
taxes
being
due
when
a
wrecking
permit
is
issued
and
what
we
found
there
is
there's
a
state
statute
that
actually
requires
that
state
statute
272.
T
So
igr
is
going
to
continue
to
work
with
our
legislative
partners
on
looking
at
the
collection
of
property
taxes
on
associated
with
wrecking
permits,
particularly
out
of
these
types
of
situations.
So
the
other
piece
that
we've
looked
at
is
what
would
be
the
financial
implications
of
waiving
permit
fees.
T
I
I
don't
think
I
need
to
remind
you
we're
in
the
midst
of
some
challenging
budget
discussions.
So
again,
I
I
feel,
like
the
development
services
staff
may
not
be
the
only
voice
about
about
how
to
handle
not
collecting
permit
fees,
given
all
the
work
of
the
finance
and
budget
office
at
this
time.
So
I
feel
this
conversation
is
maybe
not
maybe
isn't
synced
up
correctly
right
now
and
that's
again
another
matter
that
I
would
like
to
come
back
and
have
a
little
more
time
to
get
a
fuller
understanding
of
that.
T
In
fairness
to
our
partners
in
the
budget
office.
I
would
say
that,
with
the
amount
of
rebuilding
that
we
hopefully
will
see
that
the
permit
fee
number
will
not
be
insignificant,
and
so
I
don't.
I
feel
it
would
not
be
fair
to
our
partners
in
the
enterprise
to
kind
of
just
say
you
can
waive
fees
and
it's
going
to
be
a
million
dollars
over
a
year
and
a
half,
and
what
are
the
implications
of
that?
I
think.
B
Thank
you
so
much.
I
have
a
quick
follow-up
question
and
then
I
know
councilman
mcconnell
has
a
question
I
think
for
director
brennan.
I
wanted
to
ask
what
we're
seeing
in
terms
of
city-wide
permits,
if
you
have
a
sense
of
if
building
has
slowed,
slowed
down
with
the
economic
impacts
of
coronavirus
or,
if
we're
still
seeing
sort
of
regular
levels
of
applications
for
new
building
permits,
I
mean
I
was
outside
of
this
sort
of
issue.
Yeah.
T
Thank
you,
council,
president
bender.
The
answer
is
that
we
are
behind
last
year,
which
was
a
record
year
a
record
year,
but
we're
really
not
off
pace.
Much
from
the
last
four
years
we've
been
trying
to
keep
the
finance
office
abreast
of
these.
These
permit
activity
and
even
our
agendas
at
planning
commission
have
had
hundreds
of
dwelling
units
on
them.
T
We
had
another
very
full
planning
commission,
the
past
monday,
and
so,
while
things
are
down
from
last
year,
which
again
was
a
record
year
for
us
and
the
year
before,
that
was
was
just
below
a
record
year
and
the
year
before,
that
was
the
record
year.
So
we're
actually
within
a
five-year
window,
we've
been
keeping
pace
with
past
activity.
T
We've
seen
I've
seen
that
over
my
30
years
here
in
the
past,
there's
just
a
trade-off
and
it
makes
sense
people
may
not
move,
but
they
they
reinvest
in
their
home,
so
we're
tracking
that
permit
activity
closely
and
keeping
the
finance
office.
Apprised
of
that.
But
we'd
be
happy
to
report
back
to
this
committee
as
well
about
that
activity.
B
Thank
you,
mr
bohr,
and
I'll
recognize
council
mercano.
I
do
I
mean
part
of
the
point
there
is.
I
think
we
want
to
be
careful
that
we
don't
streamline
something
that
we
we
don't
want,
which
would
be.
You
know,
displacement
or
you
know
not
having
the
tools
in
place
to
keep
the
the
current
business
owners.
You
know
having
the
tools
that
they
need
to
rebuild
so
councilmember.
L
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
appreciate
you
calling
on
me,
so
I
I
did
want
to
echo
mr
poor's
comments
about
racial
equity.
When
pertaining
to
this
work,
I
think
clarifying
the
intent
that
we
want
to
level
the
playing
field
by
ensuring
that
our
support
as
a
city,
whether
it's
waiving
a
fee
or
expediting
a
certain
process,
that
it's
really
prioritizing
the
the
folks
who
we
traditionally
identify
as
populations
within
a
racial
equity
category.
L
We
might
you
know
want
to
ask
ourselves
is
that
the
kind
of
is
that
the
kind
of
company
that
we
are
trying
to
to
support,
or
do
we
want
to
prioritize
supporting
the
small
locally
owned,
diverse
and
immigrant-led
and
people-of-color-owned
businesses?
And-
and
so
I
I
agree
that
we
need
to
do
a
little
bit
more
parsing
out
of
how
we
prioritize
the
the
programming
and
the
and
the
distribution
of
our
shrinking
city
resources
on
a
separate
topic.
L
That's
related
to
this
I'm
curious
what
plans
a
cped
might
have
underway
already
relating
to
how
we
support
the
small
local
business
owners
who
are
wanting
wanting
to
open
up
but
can't
open
up,
because
they
just
don't
have
the
cash
flow.
And
so
today
I
was
at
at
a
meeting
on
lake
street,
hosted
by
congresswoman
ilhan
omar,
who
was
doing
a
listening
session
on
the
impact
that
the
civil
unrest
had
on
our
cultural
patrimony.
L
You
know
the
a
lot
of
these
cultural
businesses
and
many
of
them
said
you
know
we
need
to
bring
in
some
cash
in
the
door,
so
we
can
operate
and
we
can't
open
up
our
businesses
because
we
don't
have
the
cash
flow
to
fix
the
doors
fix.
The
windows
fix,
fix
the
facade
replenish,
the
goods
that
were
stolen,
replenish
the
cash
that
was
in
the
the
cash
registers
that
were
taken
or
the
computers
that
were
taken.
So
I'm
just
curious.
L
If
either
our
interim
director,
andrea
brennan
can
speak
to
that,
or
maybe
somebody
else
in
either
the
small
business
team-
or
I
don't
know
if
eric
hansen
is
here,
but
we
I'd
love
to
just
get
caught
up
on
sort
of
where
that
work
is
from
the
cities
from
the
city
level.
If
we're,
if
we're
anticipating,
to
be
able
to
distribute
grants
at
that
level,
to
really
just
kind
of
kick
start,
that
economic
activity
again.
T
Council
president
vendor
and
council
member
kano,
if
I
may,
while
maybe
somebody
else
from
cpic,
can
speak
to
that,
I
would
like
to
just
acknowledge
that
the
the
issues
of
rey's
staff
has
thought
about.
We
are
concerned
about
about
the
equity
of
how
we
apply
these.
These
relaxations
we're
very
sensitive
about
the
different
narratives
out
there
about
what
rebuilding
looks
like.
L
Q
Q
Proposed
as
part
of
the
budget
presentation
earlier
today,
that
is,
that
is
a
fund
that
does
have
budget
authority
in
2020.
So
that
is
an
area
that
where
the
city
could
could
provide
some
assistance.
Additionally,
there
is
a
request
to
the
small
business
association
to
to
have
the
disaster
declarations
in
place
to
again
provide
access
to
for
additional
funding.
B
M
I
This
is
merely
a
matter
of
staff,
time
for
staff
that
are
already
employed,
and
it's
like
it's
within
our
capacity
to
do.
I
think
that's
something
that
we
should
step
up
and
do
and
then
work
to
help
prioritize
folks
who
have
lost
everything,
get
them
up
to
the
front
of
the
line
when
it
comes
to
applications
or
permits.
So
we
can
get
them
back
up
and
running,
whereas
others
maybe
are
trying
to
expand
an
existing
business.
That
wasn't
impacted
that
sort
of
thing
and
you
know
first,
come
first
serve.
I
They
understand
that,
but
I
think
they
also
understand
that
there's
a
special
need
here
for
those
that
have
been
so
drastically
impacted
to
be
able
to
get
some
additional
support.
So
I
understand
that
director
poor
is
looking
for
more
time
on
this.
I
think
that's
reasonable,
but
I
do
hope
we
can
come
back
with
recommendations
on
how
we
can
really
proactively
help.
I
think
it's
really
unfortunate
that
you
know
I've
been
building
calls
from
folks
that
aren't
even
in
ward
12.
I
B
Thank
you,
council,
member
and,
of
course,
thank
you
for
your
efforts,
as
usually
as
our
igr
chair,
at
really
advocating
for
the
city
and
and
even
more
than
the
city,
the
business
owners
who
have
lost
so
much
at
our
with
our
legislative
delegation
and
to
bring
those
state
resources.
Hopefully
to
this
as
well.
B
I
don't
see
any
other
council
members
in
queue,
so
I
will
go
ahead
and
direct
the
clerk
to
receive
and
file
this
update.
I
do
want
to
note.
I
said
this
again,
I
think
maybe
in
the
last
pogo
meeting
I
I
do
feel
a
sense
of
urgency
about
formalizing
the
different
council
working
groups
that
are
doing
work
related
to
economic
development.
So
I
will
follow
up
as
promised
about
that.
B
I've
had
a
couple
of
conversations
just
getting
a
sense
of
what's
happening
and
who's
involved
and
with
the
pace
and
cadence
of
the
meetings,
but
I
do
think
we
should
bring
something
through
council
more
formally
to
designate
council
members
and
contemplate
if,
if
we
should
have
sort
of
one
group
working
on
economic
recovery,
wholly
you
know,
combined
or
if
there
want
to
be
different
groups
focused
on
more.
You
know,
short-term
long-term
different
topics.
So
I
see
councilmember
gordon
in
queue.
F
And
I
think
that's
an
excellent
idea
and
I'm
certainly
trying
to
coordinate
with
other
council
members
near
lake
street,
particularly
near
the
second
ward,
but
it
also
occurs
to
me
that
I
think
we're
a
little
disconnected
from
some
of
the
initiatives
the
mayor's
office
might
be
doing
around
these
as
well.
And
I
don't
know
that
this
is
the
right
time
to
direct
staff
to
help
us
coordinate
there
or
how
to
do
that
exactly.
F
But
I
just
sort
of
want
to
know
note
it
here,
because
I
hear
from
constituents
and
business
owners
along
they're
trying
to
ask
and
find
out
what's
happening
with
the
mayor's
office
with
this
or
that
initiative,
and
I'm
not
sure
exactly
what
it
is
they're
talking
about,
or
I
don't
know
all
the
details
and
so
we're
still
trying
to
get
our
arms
all
around
this
appreciate
this
report
from
staff.
I
think
that's
one
way
we
can
get
coordinated,
but
but
maybe
we
can
get
it
a
little
tighter
next
time.
B
Thank
you,
councilmember
and,
and
I
agree
I
think
we
do
want
to
make
sure
that
that
department
staff
are
leading
the
work
of
economic
recovery.
So
so
I
agree:
okay,
so
directed
staff
clerk
to
receive
and
file
that
report.
We
do
have
one
item
left
on
our
agenda,
which
is
from
our
equity
subcommittee.
It's
a
resolution
declaring
racism,
a
public
health
emergency
in
the
city
of
minneapolis
and
I'll.
Ask
cheryl
jenkins
to
introduce
this
proposal
again
as
part
of
our
equity
subcommittee
of
this
body.
Thank
you,
council.
Vice
president.
G
G
There
are
several
seemingly
efforts
happening
around
economic
recovery
and
I
have
been
involved
in
some
of
those,
but
I've
really
made
it
real
clear
that
we
we
need
to
coordinate
these
efforts
more,
so
any
work
that
I
can
do
to
help
bring
some
level
of
coordination
and
collaboration
to
that
process.
I
will
be
working
on
as
well
and
and
look
forward
to
working
with
you
and
others
to
make
that
happen.
Today.
G
G
G
H
Good
afternoon,
chair
jenkins,
I
will
keep
my
remarks
very
short,
just
first
one
to
acknowledge
deep
gratitude
for
your
leadership
and
councilman
cunningham's
leadership
and
getting
best
resolution
to
where
it
is
today
definitely
want
to
acknowledge
the
large
number
of
staff,
including
voice
from
community
and
some
community
partner
organizations.
Who've
helped
us
to
strengthen
this
language.
H
As
you
mentioned,
we
do
have
several
speakers
here
who
are
going
to
speak
to
the
significance
of
this
resolution.
We
will
start
with
amelia,
we'll
start
with
commissioner
angela
connolly,
followed
by
amelia
brown
who's
speaking
on
behalf
of
her
organization,
emergency
arts
and
then,
lastly,
we'll
hear
from
commissioner
gretchen
musicam
from
the
health
department.
U
Good
afternoon,
madam
president,
council
members,
my
name
is
angela
conley
and
I'm
a
proud
resident
of
the
8th
ward
of
minneapolis.
I
am
the
county
commissioner
for
hennepin
county's,
fourth
district,
and
I
just
want
to
start
by
saying.
I
know
that
you
all
have
been
working
on
this
for
some
time,
so
I
really
appreciate
your
work
council.
Vice
president
jenkins
and
councilmember
cunningham.
U
You
know,
racism
is
not
only
a
social
determinant
of
health.
Racism
kills
people,
structural
and
institutional
racism
built
on
policies,
laws
and
antiquated
ordinances
such
as
the
now
defunct,
spitting
and
lurking
ordinances,
is
at
the
root
of
disparities
and
health
outcomes
between
black
indigenous
and
other
communities
of
color
and
their
white
counterparts
being
racially
profiled
being
discriminated
against,
not
having
adequate
access
to
health
care
and
housing.
U
U
This
resolution
was
able
to
pass
by
the
board
4-3
and
is
now
in
effect,
as
you
also
know
currently,
minneapolis
has
its
own
public
health
authority,
and
I
urge
you
to
approve
a
declaration
of
racism
as
a
public
health
emergency,
so
that
we
and
others
can
partner
to
dismantle
the
devastating
and
fatal
consequences
of
systemic
institutional
and
explicit
racism.
You
cannot
dismantle
disparities
without
first
dismantling
racism.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
time
and
all
of
your
hard
work.
Bye-Bye.
G
Thank
you
so
much,
commissioner
conley
for
for
that
support
and
congratulations
on
passing
that
resolution
at
hennepin
county.
It's
gonna
be
critical
that
we,
as
the
city
and
the
county
work
together
to
to
end
these
disparities
and
to
attack
the
scourge
of
racism
in
our
communities
and-
and
hopefully
this
will
encourage
other
cities
within
hennepin
county
to
do
the
same.
Miss
marsh
stevens.
V
Thank
you,
madam
chair
jenkins,
council
members
enjoy
what
is
the
key
to
community
recovery
for
generations.
We
have
explored
how
to
recover
from
the
public
health
emergency
of
racism.
We
stand
on
colonized
land,
offering
respect
and
gratitude
to
the
traditional
stewards
of
this
land,
dakota
and
anishinaabe
ojibwe
people.
We
offer
respect
and
gratitude
to
those
who
have
been
stolen
from
their
home
and
lands
to
build
upon
stolen
land.
Here
africans
african-americans
black
people
who
continue
to
experience,
theft,
loss
and
injustice.
V
V
As
we
declare
racism,
a
public
health
emergency,
we
are
able
to
develop
communication
and
mobilize
resources
towards
addressing
racism
in
its
many
forms:
historical,
individual,
internalized,
interpersonal,
institutional,
systemic.
An
important
aspect
of
addressing
this
emergency
is
community
recovery.
V
V
These
studies
reveal
some
core
challenges
through
various
types
of
emergencies
and
different
phases
of
emergency
plans.
Without
public
involvement
can
fail
as
assumptions
about
public
behavior
can
be
inaccurate
and
plans
not
formed
by
those
who
will
utilize
are
impacted
by
those
plans
can
have
severe
consequences.
V
We
saw
an
example
of
this
in
the
failure
of
evacuation
plans
in
hurricane
katrina,
which
caused
disaster
after
disaster.
So
how
do
we
increase
public
involvement
in
planning
and
execution
and
community
recovery?
How
can
we
apply
these
lessons
to
addressing
the
public
health
emergency
of
racism
through
more
than
20
years
of
work
across
four
continents?
V
V
Here
in
minneapolis,
artists
have
been
on
the
front
lines
of
the
public
health
emergency
of
racism,
including
the
black
lives
matter.
Movement
protests,
memorials,
honoring,
the
life
of
george
floyd
and
many
many
other
beautiful
human
beings
who
have
lost
their
lives
in
our
streets
in
our
homes,
in
our
cars
and
in
our
communities.
V
These
examples
reveal
art
is
one
key
to
increasing
public
involvement
in
community
recovery.
Artists
can
implement
creative
strategies
to
overcome
social
barriers,
increase
accessibility,
improve
communications,
foster,
collective
healing
and
increase
public
participation
in
their
own
plans
and
actions
for
community
recovery.
V
V
V
V
You
have
contributed
to
this
resolution
in
critical
action.
We
need
you
in
this
long
journey,
deep
gratitude
to
council
vice
president
jenkins,
for
your
leadership,
diva
saddar,
for
your
strength
and
support,
and
to
miss
julian
new
orleans,
who
continues
to
teach
me
the
real
meaning
of
community
recovery
and,
of
course,
all
the
collaborators
who
continue
to
advance
racial
equity.
While
we
navigate
compounding
emergencies,
thank
you
to
our
ancestors,
our
elders
and
all
those
who
have
paved
the
way
for
us
as
we
work
towards
an
anti-racist
future
for
our
children.
V
R
Thank
you
so
much.
It's
a
pleasure
to
be
a
part
of
this
really
important
time
when
we,
hopefully,
I
make
this
declaration
together
in
minneapolis,
I'm
going
to
read
a
one-page
document
that
that
provides
us
a
little
context
within
the
world
of
public
health.
As
we
think
about
racism,
the
minneapolis
health
department
joins
with
our
national
colleagues
in
local
public
health
in
supporting
the
incorporation
and
adoption
of
the
principles
of
social
justice
into
every
aspect
of
public
health
practice
in
order
to
illuminate
the
root
causes
of
health
inequities.
R
R
R
R
R
H
For
final
remarks,
I
do
want
to
lift
up
leadership
from
the
division
of
race
and
equity.
Melanie
placinsky,
who
was
on
staff
as
a
program
manager,
really
took
charge
of
this
with
her
background
in
public
health
and
was
bringing
people
together
in
order
to
pull
this
resolution
to
its
final
state
and
so
just
want
to
definitely
make
sure
that
I'm
naming
for
the
public
record
her
role
in
this
work.
H
So
I
off
by
by
by
approving
and
adopting
this
resolution
today.
It
is
one
further
step
that
the
city
minneapolis
is
taking
and
naming
and
reinforcing
its
commitment
to
supporting
this
work
and
recognizing
that
the
importance
of
this
work
spans
the
entirety
of
our
city,
enterprise
and
all
of
the
work
that
we
do.
So.
Thank
you
again
for
the
opportunity
to
bring
this
forward.
D
Thank
you,
madam
vice
president
and
madam
chair.
I
want
to
just
very
briefly
speak
to
this
as
a
co-author,
thank
you
to
commissioners,
conley
and
fernando
for
their
work
on
the
county
level
to
council,
vice
president
jenkins
for
continued
leadership
and
pushing
our
city
to
address
racial
disparities
and
everyone
who
spent
time
making
this
resolution
happen.
D
I
want
to
just
briefly
add
that
we
have
to
specifically
name
racism
if
we
are
ever
going
to
move
from
standing
in
awe
of
the
consequences
of
racial
disparities
to
actually
conquering
and
eliminating
them,
while
naming
racial
equity
as
a
goal
is
important,
we
cannot
do
so
unless
anti-racism
is
woven
into
everything
we
do
as
a
city.
This
resolution
explicitly
moves
us
in
that
direction.
D
We
are
blessed
not
only
to
have
elected
leadership
committed
to
eliminating
racial
disparities,
but
city
staff
like
joy
and
her
team
were
content.
Experts
in
helping
us
make
this
happen.
Racism
in
all
its
forms,
as
amelia
spoke
to
hurts
us
all.
We
as
a
country
have
forgotten
our
devastating
history
of
colonization
and
shadow
slavery
and
jim
crow
laws
and
other
racially
discriminatory
policies
as
well
as
turn
away
now.
D
We
have
not
also
not
been
taught
how
to
openly
talk
about
race,
racism
and
power.
The
work
ahead
of
us
is
to
overcome
these
barriers,
while
systematically
dismantling
white
supremacy
and
our
policies
and
the
way
we
ways
we
govern
I'd
like
to
thank
all
of
my
colleagues
for
their
for
supporting
this
critical
work
ahead.
Thank
you.
G
Recap.
The
race
and
equity
advisory
committee
made
recommendations
to
this,
as
well
as
director,
commissioner,
musicam
and
the
department
of
public
health.
So
many
people
have
reached
out
to
my
office
from
around
the
country
and
around
the
world
supporting
this
resolution,
as
well
as
providing
input
in
its
development,
and
I
asked
and
encouraged
my
colleagues
to
support
this
resolution
as
well.
