Thank

K
Thank
you,
madam
president.
It's
nice
to
see
you
all,
I'm
glad
to
be
joining
you
just
after
our
third
budget
address
just
three
weeks.
After
all
of
you
adopted
the
2020
current
service
level.
I
know
this
sort
of
feels
like
it
is
a
very
quick
turnaround,
but
the
reality
is
that
cove
19
has
created
what
our
city
coordinator
mark
ruff
aptly
characterizes
a
very
constant
state
of
budgeting,
and
that
constant
state
of
budgeting
will
undoubtedly
continue
for
several
months
more.
K
The
finance
team
and
our
staff
have
been
working
like
crazy
to
create
a
path
to
make
up
for
a
35
million
hole
in
the
lost
non-property
tax
revenue
that
hit
our
general
fund,
particularly
hard.
As
you
may
know,
our
general
fund
has
about
55
percent
of
tax
revenues
coming
from
non-property
tax
sources
on
any
annual
basis.
We
can
anticipate
or
hope
to
anticipate
about
a
one
percent
increase
in
those
non-property
tax
revenues,
which
would
equate
to
around
three
million
dollars.
K
However,
with
this
budget
we
saw
around
a
33
million
dollar
decrease
instead
of
that
three
million
dollar
increase,
and
so
that
35
million
dollar
gap
had
to
be
made
up
and
through
a
combination
of
cost.
Saving
measures
were
able
to
to
hold
the
levy
increase
to
about
5.75
percent
this
year
and
with
the
growth
and
tax
base,
the
net
change
will
actually
be
a
decrease
in
property
taxes
paid
for
your
average
home
average
home
is
around
281
thousand
dollars,
so
for
your
average
home
for
with.
K
If
there's
been
no
change
in
home
value,
you
can't
spend
about
a
five
percent
decrease
in
in
your
property
tax
payment.
However,
if
you're
the
average
home
and
value
has
gone
up,
you
can
see
about
a
negative,
a
three
percent
decrease
which
would
equate
to
around
47,
I'm
not
going
to
recap
the
whole
budget
address,
but
the
last
piece
I'll
note
is
that,
as
given
the
extraordinary
circumstances,
what
we
presented
today
is
obviously
not
a
final
budget
set
of
recommendations.
K
Those
will
come
out
in
coming
months
and
so
we'll
be
working
to
to
finalize
that
2021
proposal
between
now
and
end
of
september,
and
with
that
I'll
dive
right
into
our
coveted
report,
there
have
been
17
emergency
regulations.
To
date,
there
was
an
update
to
emergency
regulation
2020-17,
which
went
into
effect
on
august
1st,
and
that
for
that
regulation
we've
received
zero
complaints
through
311
or
through
any
other
means,
with
respect
to
establishments
not
adhering
to
the
bar
closure.
K
We
have
provided
some
additional
guidance
that
a
bar
counter
may
be
util
utilized,
so
the
bar
itself
may
be
utilized
if
the
following
conditions
are
met,
which
means
customers
place,
orders
they
pay
and
then
walk
away
to
their
designated
table
or
seating
space
following
the
transaction.
The
bar
counter
is
not
used
as
a
space
for
seating
standing,
consuming
beverages
or
other
means
patron
congregation
and
establishments
control
their
cue
to
prohibit
patrons
from
congregating,
while
waiting
to
either
place
or
receive
an
order.
K
So,
to
give
a
practical
vantage
point
of
what
this
means
you,
you
may
have
seen
in
in
several
breweries
that
they
have
a
system
in
place
where
people
don't
necessarily
have
to
be
sitting
at
the
bar,
but
they
are
ordering
from
the
bar.
That
is
okay
as
long
as
there's
a
cue
that
prevents
the
congregation
around
the
bar
itself.
So
that's
why
this
additional
guidance
was
set
in
place.
K
Moving
on
to
health
report
by
the
numbers,
the
total
approximate
number
of
tests
is
1
million,
two
hundred
three
thousand
five
hundred
and
fifty
nine
for
minnesota
case
information.
Sixty
two
thousand
nine
hundred
ninety
three
positive
tests
close
to
ten
thousand
more
than
last
time,
we
met
I'm
to
skip
through
several
of
these
other
numbers
here
on
for
minnesota
numbers.
K
You
can
certainly
ask
if
you
have
any
questions,
I
believe
most
of
you
all
of
you
have
received
it
in
some
form
of
document,
but
there
have
been
1
685
deaths,
hennepin
county
positive
cases
are
19
873
and
in
hospitalization
we
have
5742
hospitalizations
required
308,
as
of
today
with
154
in
the
icu
for
minneapolis-specific
data.
There's
7911,
which
is
a
thousand
more
than
last.
We
met
total
hospitalized
9.74
total
recovered
720
with
total
deceased
209.
K
There's
some
demographic
information
there
as
well
health
department
has
been
doing
quite
a
bit
of
work.
Inspectors
continue
to
conduct
the
follow-up
inspections
with
businesses
that
have
had
covet
19,
positive
employees
and
patrons
and
ensure
businesses
have
a
covet
19
plan
and
are
actively
following
it.
Inspectors
have
started
weekend
inspections
as
well
of
permitted
events
for
food
safety
for
long-term
care.
Mdh
has
sent
out
guidance
to
long
long-term
care
facilities
regarding
visitation
to
balance
the
need
for
resident
and
staff
safety,
with
the
unintended
consequences
of
social,
isolate,
isolate
isolation
of
older
adults.
K
The
where
they're
conducting
about
50
case
investigations
and
contact
follow-ups
per
day
for
individuals
diagnosed
with
covid
of
the
over
7000
cases
in
minneapolis,
85
percent
have
been
interviewed,
two
percent
have
refused.
Eight
percent
have
been
lost
to
follow-up
and
five
percent
are
new
cases
that
still
need
to
be
interviewed.
K
Four
percent
of
interviews
with
minneapolis
residents
are
in
a
language
other
than
english
for
community
testing.
776
people
were
tested
at
northside
parents
and
community
action
head
start
fraser
site
on
august
11th
led
by
and
our
minneapolis
I'm
sorry.
The
minnesota
department
of
health
with
support
from
mhd
hennepin
county
and
children's
minnesota
mhd
is
leading
community
testing
events
as
well
at
several
different
locations.
K
The
testing
is
free
for
all
and
is
accessible
by
drive
up
and
walk
up
at
both
sites,
including
at
the
incarnation
corazon
church
on
saturday
august
15th
from
10
a.m,
to
6
p.m,
and
at
peak
of
mcknight
on
tuesday
august
25th
from
11
a.m
to
7
p.m.
Additional
community
testing
events
are
also
being
planned
across
the
city.
K
The
moving
on
to
unsheltered
the
park
board
has
named
16
parks
as
sanctuary
parks
and
is
encouraging
people
to
utilize
those
sites.
The
minneapolis
health
department
is
updating,
bathroom
lists
and
identifying
clinics
near
the
current
encampments,
and
by
encouraging
I
mean
they
are
not
allowing
the
encampments
to
be
located
at
other
sites.
Rather,
they
are
designating
the
16
parks
that
I
had
just
mentioned.
K
K
Moving
on
to
schools,
mhd
is
working
on
developing
a
dashboard
to
be
accessible
by
school
administrators
that
will
show
minneapolis,
specific
metrics
need
for
decision
making
related
to
school
delivery
models,
and
the
goal
is
to
make
the
dashboard
available
to
administrators
by
the
beginning
of
the
school
year.
As
for
procurement,
as
of
august
12th
2020,
there
has
been
5
million
407
473
439
spent.
The
total
increase
of
400
000
plus
can
be
attributed
to
the
purchase
of
n95
cloths
masks
and,
as
I
routinely
mentioned,
this
is
not
total
spend
related
to
covet.
C
Mayor,
I
have
a
quick
question
about
the
encampment
situation,
which
I
know
is
very
complex
and
has
many
different
levels
of
government.
I
know
the
park
board
has
put
out
some
phased
timelines
for
potterhorn
and
then
some
procedures
and
different
approaches
to
the
various
parks,
depending
on
sort
of
their
status.
C
I'm
not
sure
that
the
public
or
the
council
are
getting
much
information
ahead
of
time
when
the
park
board
is
sort
of
like
taking
action
at
particular
parks.
So
at
least
I'm
getting
questions
about
it.
I
don't
know
if
my
colleagues
are-
and
I
know
that
we
do
have
staff
who
are
in
regular
contact
with
the
park
board.
C
Can
you
talk
a
little
bit
about
how
that
relationship
is
with
the
park
board
and
how
those
decisions
are
being
made,
especially
since
I
know
mpd
has
been
requested
by
the
park
board
in
a
number
of
situations
and
again
I
think
some
of
it
is
about
the
communication
and
how
how
the
park
board
is
setting
expectations
and
then,
if
things
are
shifting,
how
that
communication
is
taking
place.
K
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
I
I
believe
that
most
of
the
information
that
I
have
is
is
likely
the
same
information
that
you
have,
but
it's
those
16
sites
at
present
were
in
regular
conversation
and
contact
with
superintendent,
al
bangora,
as
well
as
certainly
the
chair,
john
o'coghill,
and
what
I
can
say
is
that
we
have.
K
It
has
been
requested
of
us
that
we
provide
assistance
not
just
from
the
minneapolis
police
department,
but
but
other
departments
as
well,
and
we
are,
we
are
providing
assistance
to
the
extent
that
we
can
in
a
safe
and
compassionate
manner.
K
K
Much
of
the
communication
is
it
flows
from
the
park
board
and
I
would
encourage
anybody
to
reach
out
to
either
superintendent
albert
gora
or
or
john
o'cogel
if
they
have
additional
questions
beyond
that.
K
Moving
on
to
state
and
federal
activity,
this
the
third
special
session
of
2020,
began
at
noon
on
wednesday
and
adjourned
the
same
day.
The
governor
must
call
a
special
session
every
30
days
to
renew
the
peacetime
emergency
powers
in
place
to
address
the
corona
virus
pandemic.
K
K
Over
the
past
two
weeks,
leadership
in
the
house
and
senate
have
been
negotiating
a
fourth
stimulus
package
to
help
the
nation
deal
with
the
impacts
of
covet
19,
both
in
economic
stimulus
and
health
care
response
as
well
and
at
the
end
of
last
week,
congressional
negotiations
were
at
an
impasse.
In
response,
the
president
signed
four
executive
orders
to
continue
three
items
that
expired
end
of
july.
K
I
won't
get
into
those
now
but
happy
to
answer
questions
on
them.
The
president
also
signed
a
new
item
into
executive
order
which
defers
payroll
taxes
through
the
end
of
year
for
wage
earners
at
or
less
than
104
000
annually,
while
the
orders
are
still
in
place.
House
senate
and
white
house
negotiators
continue
to
try
a
closed
divide
between
the
house's
3.4
trillion
heroes
act
and
the
senate's
1
trillion
heels
act.
K
K
As
of
tuesday
august
11th,
703
applicants
have
been
approved,
totaling
over
a
million
dollars
in
emergency
assistance
payments
and
we're
still
continuing
to
work
through
the
list.
As
for
the
forgivable
loan
program,
as
reported
at
the
last
several
meetings,
the
small
business
forgivable
loans
have
been
fully
awarded
for
recovery.
K
There
are
several
more
specific
recommendations
within
each
of
the
first
four
areas
that
were
provided,
and
we
would
be
happy
to
to
get
into
some
of
the
specifics
on
that
as
well.
I'll
note
that
we're
actively
fundraising
to
support
these
efforts
to
to
help
rebuild,
recover
and
transform
in
our
city.
I
Fletcher,
thank
you
council.
President
mayor.
I
know
that
you've
been
working
closely
with
councilmember,
cano
and
jenkins
on
38th
in
chicago
as
a
part
of
this
recovery
conversation,
and
I'm
wondering
if
you
can
just
give
us
an
update
on
that.
I've
been
starting
to
hear
from
constituents
who
have
questions
about
the
the
plan
for
38th
in
chicago.
K
I
can
and
I'd
also
defer
to
council
vice
president
jenkins
and
councilmember
cano
as
well.
We
have
been
so
over
the
last
several
weeks.
City
staff
and
electeds
have
been
meeting
with
community
to
figure
out
the
the
plan
going
forward,
recognizing
that
this
is
indeed
a
sacred
space
and
that
the
there
needs
to
be
some
form
of
memorialization
going
forward.
K
Obviously,
the
council
has
allocated
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
that
effort
of
some
form
of
memorialization,
and
so
you
know
the
the
conversations
have
been
broad
but
they've
been
very
much
focused
around
figuring
out
how
to
get
to
a
point
of
of
racial
healing
and
justice
and
simultaneously
regain
access
to
a
street
and
a
significant
corridor
for
the
the
surrounding
neighborhood.
K
We
we
have
had
meetings
and
we
are
going
to
and
plan
to
continue
to
meet,
and
we
hope
that
those
those
conversations
will
be
productive
council.
Vice
president,
I
invite
council
vice
president
councilmember
cono
if
they
have
additional
commentary
beyond
what
I've
stated.
G
Thank
you,
mayor,
frye
and
councilmember
fletcher.
For
that
question
you
know
I
I
would
second
one.
The
mayor
has
reported,
excuse
me
and
an
ad.
You
know
it
is
a
very
challenging
situation.
It's
a
very
volatile
situation,
it's
intersection
and
an
issue
that
has
the
eyes
literally
of
the
world.
Upon
it
I
mean
there
are
several
international
news
agencies
in
town.
G
There
is
lots
of
varying
ideas
about
what
should
happen
at
the
intersection.
So
it's
a
really
complex
issue,
and
you
know
many.
Many
staff
are
valiantly
working
to
try
to
to
come
with
resolution
engaging
with
community
listening
responding
to
the
the
desires
of
community.
You
know
we
we
need
to
develop
a
planning
process.
G
As
the
mayor
said,
we
do
want
to
gain
some
partial
access
and
then
continue
to
build
in
collaboration
with
the
community
to
fully
reopen
the
intersection,
but
that
that's
gonna
be
a
challenging
process,
to
put
it
mildly.
G
So
you
know
we're
we're
all
working
really
hard
to
try
to
come
up
with
the
best
solution.
We
have
some
some
scheduled
time
with
community
members
coming
up
on
monday
and
and
internally
today.
So
we're
we're
working
hard
to
really
try
to
bring
justice
and
and
racial
equity
to
this
city,
but
more
to
the
to
this
intersection,
but
more
broadly
to
the
city.
L
Madam
president,
I
I
wanted
to
share
with
colleagues
well,
first
of
all,
a
little
bit
of
context
on
the
the
geography
of
38th
in
chicago,
so
where
cup
foods
is
that's
powderhorn
park,
the
neighborhood
powderhorn,
which
is
ward
9
and
then
the
other
three
corners
are
represented
by
councilmember
jenkins
and
their
neighborhoods
are
bancroft,
bryant
and
central,
and
so
we
have
quite
a
robust
set
of
stakeholders
that
are
connected
to
that
intersection
and
over
the
past
couple
of
weeks,
I've
been
working
to
bring
the
business
owners
together,
and
what
I'm
learning
is
that
the
business
owners
of
that
intersection
do
not
have
a
business
association
that
is
actively
connecting
with
with
folks
to
either
raise
funds
to
support
them
through
this
transition.
L
L
So
many
of
them
are
really
considering
whether
or
not
they
can
come
back
as
a
business.
If
this
activity
continues-
and
you
know
we
were
lucky
in
that
lake
street
council
was
able
to
mobilize
to
raise
funds
to
help
lake
street
recovery,
I
think
they
raised
somewhere
like
five
or
six
million
dollars.
We
don't
have
that
for
38th
in
chicago,
without
a
business
association
that
is
raising
money
to
support
them
through
this
we
might
have
to
as
a
city
consider
what
we
can
do
to
support.
L
So
I
think
the
business
owners
are
a
very
specific
set
of
stakeholders
that
we
should
definitely
double
down
on,
supporting
and
identifying
how
to
help
them
sustain,
maintain
and
continue
through
this
period
of
time
that
you
know
it's
not
clear
how
long
we
will
be
in
this
moment.
L
So
you
know
some
some
of
those
buildings.
I
think
I've
heard
of
one
might
be
up
for
sale
because
it's
no
longer
a
functioning
coffee
shop.
L
Secondly,
some
of
the
neighborhood
associations
are
active
in
this
conversation
and
some
have
either
been
pushed
out
or
are
not
at
the
table,
and
so
I've
been
working
to
make
sure
that
those
neighborhood
associations
that
are
missing
from
the
conversation
are
are
connected
to
the
city's
work
on
this
front.
There's
there's
a
lot
of
engagement
happening,
but
it's
not
coherent
engagement
and
it's
not
centralized
engagement
or
very
well
coordinated
and
so
in
the
weekly
calls
and
meetings
that
myself,
the
mayor
and
council
vice
president
jenkins
host
internally.
L
For
this,
we,
you
know
have
discussed
the
the
need
to
really
get
that
engagement
to
be
more
legible
to
the
external
community,
so
that
it
doesn't
depend
on
personal
relationships
and
connections
to
city
hall,
so
making
sure
that
we
have
a
website
that
anybody
who
lives
in
the
intersection
or
in
the
area
or
any
resident
in
minneapolis
can
easily
look
up.
What's
the
next
meeting
about
38th
in
chicago,
how
do
I
participate?
L
Who
do
I
contact
when
I
have
questions
all
of
those
things
I
think
are
really
important
for
transparency
and
authentic
engagement
to
ensure
that
we're
not
just
meeting
with
our
with
the
people
who
who
know
us
personally
or
have
our
cell
phone
numbers,
but
that
we're
really
able
to
demonstrate
a
very
open
and
welcoming
space
where
people
can
come
and
have
conversations
about
this
and
understand
where
their
voice
fits
and
kind
of
the
role
that
everyone
plays.
L
So
you
know
I'm
looking
forward
to
meeting
with
our
leaders
today
again
at
one
o'clock
to
continue
our
conversations,
and
you
know
it
would
be
great
if
folks
are
getting
questions
about
38th
in
chicago,
we
can
bring
them
to
this
meeting
and
and
go
through.
You
know
who's
the
the
best
kind
of
point
of
contact
to
continue
to
answer
questions
about
that
specific
topic.
C
Thank
you.
I
will
say
that
we
haven't
had
you
know
any
kind
of
presentation
or
action
about
this
at
the
city
council.
I
know
how
hard
that
the
council
members
who
represent
the
area
have
been
working
to
bring
all
the
voices
to
the
table
and
we
absolutely
support
your
leadership
and
all
that
you've
gone
through.
As
as
our
elected
leaders
for
this
area-
and
I
know
it
has
been
very
challenging-
you
know
both
personally
and
professionally,
and
you
have
our
full
support.
C
I
do
think
it
is
challenging
to
move
forward
with
reopening
if
we
don't
have
more
broad
support
from
you
know,
elected
officials
from
outside
the
city,
or
you
know,
community
leaders,
so
I
have
been
really
concerned
and
I've.
You
know.
I've
said
this
privately
to
each
of
you
about
moving
forward
as
a
city
kind
of
on
our
own
here,
without
having
more
robust
support
kind
of
broadly
in
the
community
for
reopening.
That's
very
you
know,
visible
and
very
clear.
C
You
know
we
haven't
had
a
public
hearing,
for
example,
about
this
and
so
again
I
know
that
absolutely
we
support
the
leadership
of
the
council
members
from
this
area,
but
I
also
know,
as
council
vice
president
said,
that
this
has
city-wide
ramifications.
It
has
statewide
ramifications
national
ramifications,
perhaps
even
international
ramifications,
so
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
proceeding
with
care,
and-
and
so
you
know-
you
all-
have
our
support
in
that
work.
I
know
that
there
was
originally
an
announcement
made
about
moving
forward
next
week.
C
I'm
pretty
concerned
about
that
timeline,
especially
given
that
we
haven't
had
any
kind
of
formal
discussion
at
the
council,
so
I'll
just
say
that
again
in
in
a
spirit
of
of
wanting
to
be
supportive
and
making
sure
that
the
full
you
know,
the
full
council
is
informed
and
can
support
the
work
that
the
city
enterprise
is
clear
and
transparent
and
that
we
have
the
support
that
you
all
need
at
this
time.
C
So
I
just
wanted
to
add
those
thoughts
and
welcome
any
kind
of
you
know
more
information
or
anything
for
that
council.
Vice
president
jenkins.
G
Yeah,
thank
you,
madam
president,
and
I
absolutely
support
that
idea
and,
and
it's
a
very
fluid
situation.
G
So
we
we
made
an
announcement
we're
in
discussions
with
the
community
about
how
we
can
continue
to
invest
in
in
our
stated
values,
as
well
as
the
the
desires
of
the
community
to
to
bring
more
equity
to
to
this
intersection,
but
also
you
know,
as
as
I
think
and
and
said
more
broadly
to
the
entire
city,
and
so
certainly
want
to
have
these
conversations
in
in
a
broader
context
with
the
council
and
certainly
welcome
that
level
of
support.
So
thank
you
very
much.
B
K
Happy
to
give
an
update
on
public
safety,
so
the
the
formal
request
coming
from
the
council
was
to
give
updates
generally
on
covet
19,
and
so
there
have
been
times
and
instances
when
we've
given
reports
on
public
safety,
there
have
been
instances
when
we
have
not.
But
again,
the
requirement
is
is
for
covet
19,
specific
issues
but
happy
to
go
beyond
that.
So
these
would
be
mpd
trends
through
august
10th,
violent
crime
is
up
18.7
percent
year
to
date,
and
property
crimes
are
up.
K
3.7
year-to-date
the
past
two
weeks
of
shot
spotter
activations.
During
the
week
of
july
28th
there
were
136
shot,
spotter
activations
and
during
the
week
of
august
4th
there
were
127
shot.
Spider
activations
year
to
date
still
has
the
highest
shooting
victim
total.
In
the
last
five
years
with
319
victims,
the
next
closest
is
2016
with
199..
K
That's
up
80
percent
compared
to
this
time
in
2019,
the
total
of
with
a
total
of
31
victims
of
gunshot
wounds.
In
the
past
two
weeks
through
monday
august
10th
also
from
the
fire
department,
the
fire
department
is
sending
out
weekly
safety
tips
from
next
door.
Mfd
has
a
following
of
about
250
000
households
on
next
door
and
it's
getting
a
really
a
lot
of
positive
feedback
through
these
very
regularly
scheduled
safety
meetings.
K
Mfd
has
been
also
taking
advantage
of
training
offered
through
our
city
of
minneapolis
hr
department
on
cultural
awareness,
and
these
trainings
have
been
happening
weekly
and
sometimes
several
times
per
week.
So
kmoj
and
la
raza
are
now
airing
weekly
short
fire
safety
reminders,
and
these
are
things
like
check
your
smoke
alarm.
K
C
Thank
you-
and
I
think
you
all
saw
but
I'll
share
here-
that
I
followed
up
with
council
members
after
last
city
council
members,
after
the
last
city
council
meeting
in
our
public
safety
discussion.
So
there
has
been
a
long
list
of
questions
for
chief
erendo
generated
by
council
members,
which
I've
shared
with
him,
as
well
as
the
clerk
and
I.t
offices
who
have
stepped
up
to
support
with
some
of
the
responses
to
the
data
questions.
So
I
think
we
will
have
a
presentation
at
pogo
about
these
issues.
C
I
think
some
of
the
questions
will
take
longer
to
answer
than
that
couple
week
cycle,
but
we'll
be
able
to
get
an
update
from
the
clerk
and
others
about
the
timeline
for
some
of
those
data
related
questions
and
then
time
for
chief
erdogando
to
answer
the
questions
related
specifically
to
mpd
staffing.
C
You
know:
strategies
around
crime,
from
prevention
and
and
crime
issues
that
we're
seeing.
So,
thanks
to
everyone
who
sent
questions
for
that,
and
if
you
didn't
you
know
in
the
in
the
interim,
if
you
want
to
send
questions
to
me
or
directly
to
the
chief
just
to
give
a
heads
up
on
the
kind
of
things
you'd
like
to
know
about,
that
would
be
helpful.
C
To
watch
the
budget
video,
I
don't
know
how
many
other
I
told
you
I
went
mayor
so
I'm
sure
if
they
haven't
yet
council
members
will
be
eagerly
logging
in
to
youtube
to
see
that
today.
Thank
you
please.
K
Please
do
watch
it
there's
a
lot
of
good
items
in
there,
as
well
as
some
difficult
to
do.
C
Okay,
thank
you
mayor.
So
the
next
item
on
I
will
direct
the
clerk
to
receive
and
file
that
report
from
their
fry.
The
next
item
is
our
receiving
and
filing
of
the
mayor's
201
2021
recommended
budget
that
broadcast
that
budget
address
was
broadcast
just
prior
to
our
regular
meeting
and
is
available
on
the
city's
website
and
through
youtube,
and
a
transcript
of
that
address,
along
with
the
initial
budget,
outline
have
been
produced
and
posted
in
limbs.
F
I
have
had
an
opportunity
to
speak
with
many
of
you
this
week
about
how
we
would
like
to
run
budget
committee
going
forward.
As
the
mayor
said,
we
don't
have
all
the
details
of
our
budget
just
yet,
but
I
think
there's
still
some
meaningful
conversations
that
we
can
have.
There
was
energy
from
many
of
you
to
start
to
the
extent
that
we
can
about
mid-september
to
start
with
some
of
our
more
general
provisions
of
this
budget.
That
really
does
involve
cuts
to
almost
every
department
and
how
that
works.
F
So
I
am
looking
to
cancel
the
august
meeting
of
our
budget
committee,
but
but
to
likely
hold
the
september
14th
one
in
a
slightly
different
way
than
we
have
done
so
in
the
past.
So
thank
you
for
everybody's
input
on
this
and
I
will
move
this
motion
forward
thanks.
F
C
I
will
also
note
that
this
proposed
budget
has
less
detail
than
in
typical
years.
So,
as
council
members
dig
into
the
proposal
that
we
do
have,
you
know
there
will
likely
be
questions
about
about
the
details
that
will
be,
I
think,
worked
out
as
we
all
dig
into
the
budget
between
now
and
december,
when
we
have
the
chance
to
mark
up
and
adopt
that
final
2021
budget.
H
B
B
G
H
G
C
C
That
carries
in
the
matter
is
referred
to
the
budget
committee.
The
next
order
of
business
is
reports
from
our
standing
committees,
and
so
I'll
note
also
that
the
items
that
we
added
under
new
business,
I
will
take
up
in
the
typical
time
when
we
see
new
business
items
in
our
agenda.
C
J
Thank
you.
Madam

And,
lastly,

Policy.
With
that,
I
am
happy
to
move
items
1
through
16
and
hold
off
on
item
number
17
on
a
motion
for
council
member
gordon.
C
L
B
A
G
J
H
Thank
you
very
much,
and
I'm
happy
to
speak
for
that.
This
is
a
motion
that
would
request
the
minneapolis
police
department
to
report
to
our
policy
and
government
oversight
committee
at
our
meeting
on
august
20th
with
a
list
of
businesses
that
currently
use
off-duty
minneapolis
police
officers
as
security
and
further
requests
that
the
police
department
create
and
maintain
a
public
public-facing
list
of
businesses
that
use
off-duty
minneapolis
police
officers.
H
As
security,
we
had
a
great
report
from
reg
services
and
we
understood
that
there
were
just
a
few
businesses
that
were
required
to
use
minneapolis
police
and
we've
created
alternatives
or
we've
changed
the
conditions
to
give
more
flexibility
to
the
business
owners.
I
guess
I
should
say,
and
but
we
didn't
really
have
a
listing
of
how
many
businesses
were
using
that,
and
that
seems
to
be
something
the
police
department
has.
H
So
I
know
that
the
chief's
going
to
be
coming
to
our
next
meeting,
and
I
thought
this
would
be
an
opportunity
for
them
to
share
some
information.
So
we
can
have
a
better
understanding
of
what's
going
on.
C
C
C
B
H
H
B
C
That
carries
and
that
item
passes
so
those
items
are
complete,
is
adopted.
Next,
we
have
a
report
from
the
policy
and
government
oversight
committee
given
by
the
vice
president,
councilmember.
G
Jenkins
there
we
go
it
finally,
unmuted.
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
the
policy
and
government
oversight

items.
C
K
Thank
you,
madam
president.
Yes,
I
would
like
to
speak
on
item
one
and
if
it's
all
right,
I'd
also
like
to
touch
briefly
on
cultural
districts.
To
avoid
duplicative
asks
to
speak.
So
first,
I'm
really
thrilled
to
see
this
item
cultural
districts
moving
forward.
This
is
something
that
we've
all
been
working
on
for
several
years
now.
I
want
to
give
a
thank
you
to
sean
pierce
from
my
staff
for
driving
a
whole
lot
of
this
work.
K
And
you
know
there
are
so
many
ideas
that
have
emanated
from
cultural
districts,
including
the
commercial
property
development
fund,
which
has
uses
not
just
for
purposes
of
cultural
districts,
but
obviously
through
a
pandemic.
Following
the
unrest
and
all
of
the
anti-gentrification
efforts
that
are
set
up
right
now,
it's
got
many
many
many
uses
and
and
we're
I'm.
K
Of
this
work
and
proud
of
the
effort
to
get
to
this
point
and
so
very
much
appreciate
the
support
on
this
one-
and
I
also
want
to,
of
course
speak
to
item
number
one
and
and
offer
several
thank
yous
first
to
eric
nielsen
who,
despite
his
perhaps
better
judgment,
agreed
to
serve
as
the
interim
city
attorney
for
what
I'm
sure
he
thought
would
just
be
a
few
months
now
then
covet
19
hit,
and
then
we
had
the
killing
of
george
floyd
and
an
unrest,
and
instead
he
led
this
office
for
nine
months
through
that
global
health
pandemic,
emergency
declarations,
regulations,
the
tragic
killing
of
george
floyd
and
from
the
bottom
of
my
heart
eric.
K
Thank
you.
I
also
must
thank
the
really
the
entire
team
in
the
city
attorney's
office.
We
know
how
much
work
you've
been
doing
lately.
Your
professionalism
has
has
shined
through
a
hundred
percent
of
the
time
and
your
your
guidance
that
you've
offered
to
each
one
of
us.
Your
your
work
on
behalf
of
the
city
is
so
greatly
appreciated
and
often
times
it
doesn't
get
noticed
like
it
should
and
then.
Finally,
I
I
would
like
to
to
thank
and
and
hopefully
welcome,
mr
router.
K
Your
willingness
to
serve
at
this
point
in
time
is
honorable.
Your
leadership
will
be
crucial
and
the
work
that
you
will
be
doing
will
be
transformational.
K
I
I
know
that
you've
got
the
the
experience,
the
aptitude,
the
the
ability
to
really
dig
into
these
issues
in
a
way
that
perhaps
we've
never
done
before.
This
is
an
opportunity,
and
I
realize
that
you
see
that
and
that's
why
you're
moving
to
take
this
job
and-
and
I
know
that
your
experiences,
ranging
from
private
sector
work
to
the
workplace
advisory
committee,
the
relationships
that
you've
built
they'll
serve
you
well
and
I'm
grateful
that
we
will
be
able
to
work
alongside
each
other
in
the
months
and
years
ahead.
K
So
welcome
mr
router,
we're
I
very
much
ask
for
the
support
of
the
city
council.
I
think
I
know
you've
had
an
opportunity
to
speak
with
many,
if
not
all
of
them,
and
we
look
forward
to
the
work
ahead.
Thank
you.
C
C
C
Attorney's
office's
work
in
these
very
very
challenging
months,
and
I
will
say-
and
I
think
mr
raudel
will
appreciate
this
when,
when
the
mayor
first
talked
to
me
about
this
vacancy,
I
said
we
really
need
someone
with
public
sector
experience,
and
you
know
I
have
known
mr
router,
for
you
know
almost
the
whole
time
I've
been
in
office.
C
We've
worked
together
closely
on
policy
change,
so
I
have
full
confidence
in
mr
router's
ability
to
lead
this
department
and
part
of
why,
despite
not
having
that
public
sector
experience
is
because
of
the
incredible
talent
of
the
staff
that
we
have
in
the
attorney's
office.
Now,
and
I
know
this
team
will
bring
the
expertise
at
the
table.
Mr
router
has
assured
me
that
part
of
his
goal
is
to
really
support
our
staff
and
their
continued
leadership
and
development,
and
we
have
a
really
incredible
team.
C
So
I
know
that
we've
been
able
to
talk
through
some
of
the
details
at
our
committee
meeting.
I
look
forward
to
working
with
you,
mr
router,
and
I
know
the
council
does
as
well.
So
thank
you
both
to
mayor
frye
and
mr
router
for
billing
being
willing
to
join
the
city
at
this
time.
Your
commitment
to
this
city
is
clear
and
really
shines
through,
and
we
appreciate
you
anything
further
see.
None
clerk
will
call
the
roll.

That
carries
and
those
agenda
items
are
adopted.
Next
we
have
the
introduction
and
referral
calendar
and
there
are
two
ordinances
included
on
the
calendar.
This
morning.
First
pursuant
to
notice
council
member
fletcher
moves
to
introduce,
give
first
reading
to
and
refer
the
subject
matter
of,
an
ordinance
amending
the
zoning
code
to
establish
regulations
for
short-term
rental
units
to
the
business
inspections
and
zoning
committee
in
the
next
cycle,
which
would
impact
several
chapters
that
are
listed
in
this
agenda.
C
B
B
B
F
H
C
That
carries
and
those
items
are
adopted
the
next
and
referred
to
the
biz
committee.
The
next
order
of
business
is
resolutions,
and
we
have
one
honorary
resolution
today,
which
is
a
resolution
recognizing
our
2020
urban
scholars
cohort
and
their
contributions
to
this
year's
program.
I'll
recognize,
council
vice
president
jenkins
for
that
resolution.
G
Thank
you,
madam
president,
I'm
having
problems
with
my
mute
button
for
some
reason
this
morning,
but
I'm
really
thrilled
to
be
able
to
present
this
resolution.
Honoring
the
2020
urban
scholars,
if
I
can
find
it
there,
it
is-
and
you
know
just
before
I
read
through
the
resolution.
G
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
and
recognize
my
own
urban
scholar
who
you
know,
joined
our
team
this
summer
and
her
name
is
miriam
ali
and
she
is
a
senior
at
occidental
college,
in
los
angeles,
california,
majoring
in
political
science
and
and
public
health,
and
so
her.
G
Her
contributions
to
our
office
were
significant
during
this
time
when,
when
we
are
dealing
with
critical
issues
that
are
related
to
political
science
as
well
as
public
health,
and
she
was
able
to
complete
three
significant
projects
that
will
that
will
help
our
office
and-
and
I
I
believe,
the
entire
city
for
for
years
to
come
so
just
want
to
acknowledge
her
contributions
and
and
thank
her
as
well
as-
and
I
was
my
own
staff
person.
G
Zoe
bourgeois
who
was
a
urban
scholar
in
for
multiple
years
and
and
now
is,
is
an
integral
part
to
the
eighth
ward
team,
as
well
as
continuing
to
mentor
and
work
with
the
urban
scholars
program
to
bring
new
scholars
to
the
city
council.
So
I
just
wanted
to
make
those
those
two
acknowledgements
as
well
as
acknowledge
and
recognize
the
contributions
of
all
of
our
urban
scholars.
G
Whereas
urban
scholars
is
a
leadership
and
professional
development
program
where
students
from
diverse
racial
and
ethnic
backgrounds
learn
how
to
navigate
today's
workplace
while
equipping
both
students
and
organizations
with
the
tools,
experience
and
guidance
necessary
to
shift
organizational
culture
towards
an
equitable
workforce
and
whereas
the
city
of
minneapolis
provides
students
with
a
distinctive
professional
experience,
focused
on
gaining
essential
leadership,
skills
and
creating
career
pathways
of
positions
of
influence
and
urban
scholars
establishes
a
pipeline
of
experience,
diverse
professionals
for
public
sector
leadership
and
whereas
the
unprecedented
events
of
2020
evoke
the
conditions
that
founded
the
urban
scholars
program
and
reinvigorate
the
purpose
of
the
urban
scholars
program
to
eliminate
racial
disparities
in

Thank
you.
Madam
president,
today
we
are
bringing
forward
a
motion
to
amend
our
legislative
agenda
and
I'll
just
read
the
additional
bullet
point
under
our
census
policy
position
that
we
are
seeking
to
add
that
reads:
oppose
any
2020
census
bureau
operational
changes
that
would
hinder
a
complete,
inclusive,
fair
and
accurate
count.
Furthermore,
we
oppose
any
redistricting
policies
which
violate
the
constitutional
right
of
persons
to
be
included
in
the
decennial
census.
E
This
is
extremely
concerning,
and
I
know
our
city
staff
are
available
in
case
folks
have
more
questions
on
this,
but
I
think
this
is
something
I
expect
all
of
our
colleagues
support
and
is
just
another
way
that
the
city
can
continue
to
stand
up
for
residents
and
fight
for.
What's
right,
so
I'm
happy
to
move
this
item.
C
G
Thank
you
so
much,
madam
president,
as
vice
chair
of
the
igr
committee
and
as
as
the
council
lead
on
our
census
efforts,
I
absolutely
support
this
motion
and
ask
my
colleagues
to
support
it
as
well.
This
is
a
pure
and
simple
blatant
attack
on
our
democracy.
It
is
a
power
grab
to
try
and
lessen
the
the
counts
in
in
our
communities
to
reshape
our
congressional
maps
and
whole
power,
for
particular
political
parties.
L
B
J
H
C
C
That
carries,
and
that
is
adopted.
The
next
item
is
item
2
under
new
business
also
brought
forward
by
council
member
johnson.
This
is
a
staff
direction
related
to
supporting
businesses
that
were
affected
by
unrest,
councilmember
johnson.
E
Thank
you,
madam
president.
A
person
could
be
forgiven
for
thinking
that,
with
this
motion
today
we're
reacting
to
a
bad
headline,
but
that's
not
the
case.
Back
in
june,
we
became
aware
that
demolition
permits
were
being
held
up
until
property
taxes
were
fully
paid.
It's
outrageous,
you
and
I,
this
council
took
action
in
june
to
address
it
when
we
passed
the
staff
direction
which
the
mayor
signed
to
figure
out
a
way
around
these
requirements
and
pursue
waiving
administrative
fees.
E
E
Unfortunately,
as
we
have
documented
multiple
written
forms
of
communication,
the
county
staff
said
these
demolition
permits
could
not
be
approved
until
property
taxes
were
paid
due
to
state
law,
and
it's
true
that
state
law
makes
proceeding
with
demolition
a
misdemeanor.
If
you
don't
pay
off
your
property
taxes,
so
we
worked
with
the
county
to
get
the
state
law
changed
and
language
was
added
to
the
house
bonding
bill
which,
unfortunately,
has
not
yet
passed,
but
we
didn't
stop
there.
Our
staff
dispatched
inspectors
to
try
and
find
a
way
on
a
case-by-case
basis
to
provide
approval.
E
They
looked
at
buildings
to
see
if
there
was
any
way
that
it
would
structurally
unsound
would
be
a
danger
to
the
public
so
that
they
could
provide
emergency
approval
getting
around
the
state
law.
We
believed
in
good
faith.
We
were
doing
everything
possible
to
help,
and
I
thank
our
staff
for
this
effort
to
find
any
way
they
could
to
help.
E
Then
this
week,
hennepin
county
staff,
after
public
pressure
and
media
scrutiny,
clarified
their
position
and
said
they
would
no
longer
enforce
the
state
law.
That's
a
good
thing,
even
if
we're
frustrated
that
it
didn't
happen
sooner
so
now
we
are
waiving
this
requirement
and
issuing
the
demolition
permits.
E
For
our
part,
I
believe
city
staff
could
have
moved
faster
on
returning
to
this
body
with
recommendations
for
waiving
the
fees
as
we
directed
them
today.
That's
why
we
have
the
staff
direction
that
I'm
moving
today.
We
need
to
make
this
right.
The
city
has
an
obligation
to
help
business
owners
who
lost
years
in
decades
of
work
who
lost
their
dreams,
who
lost
their
source
of
income
to
put
food
on
their
family's
table.
E
E
That
was
the
spirit
of
the
motion
we
passed
in
june
and
today's
motion
solidifies
much
of
that
work.
I
don't
blame
many
for
feeling
that
the
city
doesn't
care,
but
we
do
care.
We
are
working
hard
to
help,
which
is
also
why
we
need
to
do
a
better
job,
communicating
what
we
are
doing,
which
is
included
in
this
staff
direction
by
standing
up
a
web
page
sharing
what
we
are
doing
and
have
done
around
these
issues.
E
E
We
don't
complain
about
tax
dollars
generated
in
our
city,
flowing
out
and
subsidizing
the
rest
of
the
state.
In
fact,
we
don't
acknowledge
it
as
much
as
we
should,
but
whether
they
like
it
or
not,
each
legislator
has
a
vested
interest
in
seeing
these
businesses
recover
and
rebuild
as
soon
as
possible.
E
E
Already
paid
for
by
applicants
who
experience
damage
or
loss
as
a
result
of
the
civil
unrest,
two
provide
analysis
of
in
a
plan
for
waiving
and
refunding
all
other
applicable
administrative
fees
related
to
clean
up
recovery
and
rebuilding
efforts
from
property
owners,
businesses
and
other
affected
entities
which
directly
experience
damage
or
loss.
As
a
result
of
the
civil
unrest,
three
immediately
prioritize
all
applications
permits
and
processes
for
these
efforts.
E
Four
evaluate
waving
steps
that
may
otherwise
unnecessarily
delay
any
approvals
as
legally
or
contractually
able
five
evaluate
waiving
and
refunding
charges
imposed
by
the
city
for
fencing
to
secure
properties
and
other
assessments
related
to
the
civil
unrest.
Six
launch
a
public
webpage
detailing
what
efforts
the
city
has
taken
and
is
taking
to
assist
with
these
efforts.
E
This
webpage
is
to
be
regularly
updated,
seven,
provide
additional
recommendations
that
may
help
ease
and
spread
these
cleanup
efforts
and
recovery
and
rebuilding
efforts,
and
eight
update
the
city
council
and
mayor
on
a
weekly
basis,
beginning
on
august
21st,
on
specific
fees
that
may
be
waived.
The
processes
for
waiving
the
fees,
fiscal
impacts
of
additional
waivers
and
the
progress
towards
eliminating
barriers
and
other
progress
made
towards
the
aforementioned
directions.
C
Support,
thank
you,
councilmember
johnson,
and
thank
you
so
much
for
your
leadership
and
work
on
this
since
right
after
the
damage
occurred
in
your
persistence
with
this,
I
agree
that
we
do
need
to
make
sure
that
we
have
the
right
structures
in
place
to
really
aggressively
pursue
every
every
opportunity.
We
have
every
tool
that
we
have
to
support
our
businesses
that
were
damaged,
and
so
it
is
unfortunate
and
frustrating
that
this
took
so
long
and
whether
it
was
a
miscommunication
or
a
change
in
position
from
the
county.
C
You
know
I
think,
regardless
it
shouldn't,
have
taken
this
long
to
reach
this
conclusion.
C
There's
a
question
from
the
clerk
about
the
timing
in
this
items,
so
I'll
just
recognize
the
clerk
to
ask
that
and
customer
johnson
to
answer
it.
Thank
you
both.
A
Sorry,
madam
president,
I
was
just
asking
for
clarification.
I
know
the
motion
had
some
last
minute
corrections
as
our
office
was
working
with
councilmember
johnson
to
bring
that
forward.
There
is
not
a
formal
public
meeting
on
august
21st,
so
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
these
reports.
You're
asking
for
are
just
simply
being
referred
internally
and
would
not
be
presented
at
a
public
meeting.
E
G
H
B
B
B
F
F
F
C
That
carries
and
that
so
that's
direction
has
been
given
to
staff.
So
next
we
have
a
closed
session.
Last
time
we
had
a
closed
session.
I
forgot
to
include
announcements
after
we
came
back
and
I
apologize
for
that.
We
missed
an
important
announcement
for
council
vice
president
and
councilmember
cunningham,
so
I
I
will
take
up
announcements
now
and
see
if
there
are
any
announcements
from
council
members
before
we
adjourn
to
the
closed
session.
A
Thank
you,
madam
president.
It's
unusual
for
me
to
try
to
make
an
announcement,
but
I
wanted
to
be
able
to
tell
the
council
all.
At
the
same
time,
our
elections
team
has
just
notified
me
that
they
have
a
winner
in
the
ward,
6
council
special
election.
A
They
are
posting
that
to
the
website
and
sharing
with
social
media
right
now.
I
wanted
you
to
hear
it
from
me
that,
after
three
rounds
of
ranked
choice,
voting
tabulation,
mr
jamal
osman
has
been
declared
the
unofficial
winner
in
the
ward
6
special
election.
So
congratulations
to
mr
osman.
The
next
steps
are,
of
course,
for
the
city
council
sitting
as
the
municipal
canvassing
board
to
canvas
and
certify
those
results
which
is
scheduled
for
1
pm
next
thursday,
just
before
the
regular
meeting
of
the
policy
and
government
oversight
committee.
A
C
Mr
carl,
thank
you
so
much
for
sharing
that
here
and
many
congratulations
to
council
member
elect
osman.
We
are
so
looking
forward
to
welcoming
you
and
I
really
think
it
speaks
to
someone's
character
to
step
up
and
tell
all
of
the
candidates
who
ran
to
serve
our
community
in
such
a
challenging
time.
So
thank
you
to
all
the
candidates
who
ran
who
stepped
up,
and
we
look
so
forward
to
welcoming
our
new
colleague
from
ward
six.
C
You
know
also
thank
you
to
the
award
six
staff
and
everyone
who
has
been
working
to
support
them:
the
clerk's
office
council,
member
goodman
and
gordon
who
border
the
award
and
who
have
served,
as
you
know,
advisors
and
backstops
for
things
that
are
happening
in
ward,
6
and
all
of
us,
I
think,
have
worked
to
step
up
and
try
to
support
ward
6
in
the
last
few
months.
So
thank
you
to
everyone.
It
will
be
really
wonderful
to
welcome
a
colleague,
though,
to
be
there
for
that
award
in
this
really
important
time.
D
Thank
you,
council
president.
I
also
had
a
bit
of
a
comment
last
council
meeting,
not
this
council
meeting,
we
passed
an
item,
funding
three
shelters
throughout
the
city
and-
and
I
didn't
get
a
chance
to
comment
then,
because
partially
because
I
thought
it
was
a
non-controversial
issue.
But
since
there's
been
one
of
the
shelters
in
my
ward
has
come
under
some
scrutiny,
and
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
you
know
I.
I
firmly
support
us
building
more
shelter
space.
D
I
think
that,
especially
in
this
time,
with
coronavirus
and
everything
going
on
with
the
economy,
because
of
coronavirus,
we
need
to
have
shelter,
that's
dignified.
We
need
to
have
shelter
that
allows
people
the
proper
space
that
they
need
to
stay
healthy
and
safe,
and
the
truth
is
that,
while
we
need
to
be
building
all
kinds
of
shelter
and
housing
that
fit
across
the
continuum
and
not
only
shelter,
shelter
is
a
part
of
how
we
keep
people
safe
in
our
community.
D
I
know
it's
not
a
surprise
to
any
of
my
colleagues
that
we
do
have
folks
who
are
sleeping
in
parks
and
who
are
homeless.
Currently,
that's
also
true
in
north
minneapolis
and
and
so
the
the
the
shelter
in
my
ward
requires,
I
think,
a
particular
amount
of
intergovernmental
collaboration.
D
D
These
three
projects
across
the
finish
line
to
step
up
and
do
their
part,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
name
that
really
looking
forward
to
the
school
board,
also
taking
taking
part
in
making
sure
that
single
women
are
sheltered,
the
the
the
shelter
in
north
minneapolis
would
be
for
single
women,
which
we
currently
have
no
shelter
space
for
the
women
are,
I
think,
I'm
going
to
get
my
stats
a
little
wrong.
D
The
county
can
maybe
correct
me
fact-check
me
a
little
bit,
but
I
believe
single
women
make
up
about
percent
of
our
homeless
population
and
black
women
make
up
about
fifty
percent
of
that
population,
and
so
this
shelter
would
have
services
culturally
specific
services
aimed
towards
black
women.
Obviously,
the
shelter
would
be
open
to
all
women,
and
so
just
wanted
to
name
that
and
thank
all
my
colleagues
for
for
voting
on
that
fairly
non-controversially.
C
Thank
you,
councilman
olsen,
for
your
leadership
on
that
project.
I
had
a
meeting
with
some
constituents
in
my
ward,
actually
in
a
neighborhood
that
has
two
shelters
where
you
know:
support
has
really
grown
for
for
shelters
and
supportive
housing
and
affordable
housing
in
the
years
that
I've
been
in
office.
C
But
I
I
mentioned
that
you
know
we
can't
take
for
granted
that
the
political
support
will
be
there,
and
I
you
know
that
this
council
is
really
filled
with
folks
who
are
leading
on
making
sure
that
all
of
our
neighbors
are
housed,
but
there
is
still
pushback
and
concern,
often
from
neighbors.
You
know,
I
think
those
of
us
who
have
shelters
in
our
wards
are
happy
to
support
and
speak
to
the
experience
that
we've
had,
which
has
been
very
positive.
C
I
think
you
know
most
neighbors
see
shelters
as
an
asset
in
our
community
and
are
often
stepping
up
and
volunteering
or
donating,
and
both
shelters
on
my
ward
are
now
working
on
redevelopment
plans
that
include
not
only
more
shelter
beds
but
also
supportive
and
permanent,
affordable
housing
attached
within
the
same
building,
creating
more
of
a
continuum
of
service.
C
So
we're
really
seeing
a
great
huge
expansion
of
you
know
of
shelter
capacity
that
is
so
needed,
but
also
shelter
systems
that
are
better
supporting
all
of
our
neighbors
experiencing
homelessness
by
creating
more
low
barrier
entry
by
creating
the
kind
of
women's
specific
beds
that
you
mentioned
that
are
so
needed.
So,
yes,
we
really
need
folks
in
every
elected
office
to
help
build
that
support
and
and
help
us
get
our
neighbors
off
the
streets
and
into
dignified
shelter
where
they
can
receive
the
support
and
services
they
need.
G
Thank
you
again,
madam
president,
and
you
know
I
guess
it.
This
is
probably
less
of
an
announcement,
but
in
some
ways
it
is.
You
know
I
just
want
to
reaffirm
the
city's
commitment
to
to
racial
equity,
racial
justice
to
to
justice
for
for
george
floyd
and
specifically,
as
it
relates
to
the
intersection
at
38th
and
chicago
that
we,
as
evidenced
by
the
implementation
of
our
strategic
racial
equity
plan,
as
as
evidenced
by
the
the
action
that
we
just
affirmed
today.
G
The
designation
of
cultural
districts,
as
evidenced
by
our
racial
equity
action
community
advisory
committee.
G
The
the
actions
that
we
have
taken
to
prioritize
our
response
to
the
the
corona
virus
pandemic
to
to
make
sure
that
we
are
directing
our
very
limited
resources
to
the
most
marginalized
people
in
our
communities
that
the
city
is
committed
to
working
with
community
to
achieve
justice
in
all
the
forms
that
that
that
people
are
desperately
seeking.
G
We
absolutely
recognize
the
the
the
deep
oppression
and
repression
of
years
in
the
past
400
years
of
genocide
and
slavery
and
all
of
the
things
that
have
really
shaped
where
we
are
today
and
we're
committed
to
redressing
those
issues.
We
must
work
together
with
community
community
to
be
able
to
accomplish
that.
G
It
requires
cooperation
on
on
on
all
all
sides
and
all
of
our
community
to
bring
justice
forward,
and
so
you
know
again,
I
just
want
to
to
publicly
state
that
that
is
the
position
of
the
city
and-
and
I
and
I
think
I
can
speak
to
for
all
of
my
colleagues,
based
on
the
the
the
examples
that
I
just
lifted
up
in
where
we
had
support
unanimous
support
for
for
all
of
those
things,
and
so,
as
we
continue
to
move
forward.
I
I
want
that
stated
for
the
record.
C
Thank
you,
council
vice
president,
and
thank
you
for
your
leadership
in
this.
In
so
many
ways
I
have
two
things
I
want
to
mention.
I
don't
see
others
in
queue.
First,
I
want
to
thank
the
clerk's
office
and
the
election
staff
and
all
of
our
elections,
workers
for
supporting
a
record-breaking
primary
turnout
in
minneapolis,
and
thank
you
to
all
the
voters
who
got
involved
and
made
sure
that
your
voice
was
heard.
We
had
a
huge
shift
in
early
voting
and
voting
by
mail,
and
that
is
not
an
accident.
C
It
is
the
result
of
leadership
from
the
secretary
of
state's
office
investments
that
we
have
made
in
early
voting,
communicating
about
voting
and
the
incredible
work
of
our
election
staff
in
the
city
clerk's
office.
So
thank
you.
It
is
something
to
be
very
proud
of,
especially
as
we
head
into
this
november.
We
see
very
very
concerning
comments
being
made
by
the
president
right
now.
C
So
thank
you
again
to
everyone
who
went
out
of
their
way
this
year
to
vote
early
vote
by
mail
or
vote
in
person,
and
then
the
second
thing
I
wanted
to
mention
is
you
know,
especially
now
that
we
have
the
announcement
about
the
ward
6
council
member.
C
If
I
haven't
yet
don't
be
offended,
I
did
the
easy
items
first,
so
council
vice
president,
I
will
be
touching
base.
C
I
will
reach
out
to
the
new
ward
6
council
member
to
make
sure
that
he
is
fully
integrated
into
our
structure,
and
I
just
appreciate
so
much
in
the
conversations
I've
had
so
far
folks
willing
to
step
up
and
also
folks
willing
to
you
know
understand
that
in
a
compressed
structure,
not
everyone
will
be
a
chair
of
a
committee
and
that
your
leadership
is
still
really
valued
and
important,
no
matter
how
you
are
kind
of
falling
within
this
structure
and
the
the
folks
who
have
been
chairs
so,
for
example,
council
member
johnson
just
now
giving
that
update
and
leading
in
the
igr
along
with
council.
C
Vice
president
jenkins,
typically
the
vice
chair
of
that
committee,
even
though
that
committee
is
now
folded
into
pogo,
so
the
leadership
that
each
of
you
have
brought
and
the
subject
matter,
expertise
is
still
there.
It's
still
valued
and
I
know
we'll
continue
to
work
to
support
each
other's
leadership
within
a
structure
that
requires
us
in
a
virtual
environment
to
have
fewer
standing
committees,
but
it
has
become
very
clear
or
is
very
clear,
has
been
clear
that
having
so
many
items
come
through
the
policy
and
government
oversight
committee
isn't
working.
C
I
can't-
and
I
don't
think
anyone
wants
me
to
continue
to
chair
almost
all
of
the
committees
that
we
normally
have.
So
I'm
looking
forward
to
really
supporting
you
know
a
more
regular
structure.
It
will
not
have
anywhere
near
the
11
standing
committees
that
we
have
again
because
of
the
technical
capacity
of
the
clerk's
office
and
communications
in
I.t,
but
I
do
believe
it
will
help
us
structure
our
work
better
and
get
us
back
to
a
little
bit
more
of
a
normal
function
of
the
council's
business.
C
M
Thank
you,
council
president
bender,
the
consideration
of
labor
negotiation
negotiation
strategies
and
the
discussion
and
review
of
labor
negotiation
proposals
is
one
of
the
authorized
exceptions
to
the
open
meeting
law
in
which
you,
the
council,
can
choose
to
go
into
a
closed
session
pursuant
to
minnesota
statutes.
Section
13.03.
M
In
order
to
close
the
meeting
to
the
public,
a
majority
of
the
council
must
vote
to
close
the
meeting
in
deciding
whether
to
close
a
meeting
for
labor
negotiation
strategy
discussions.
The
council
should
weigh
the
right
of
the
public
to
know
what
its
government
is
doing
against
the
need
of
the
city
to
reserve
the
confidentiality
of
its
labor
negotiation
strategy.
C
H
B
D
F
F
F
C
C
That
carries,
and
so
we'll
move
to
closed
session.
I
believe
councilmember
cunningham,
who
is
on
the
board
of
a
national
organization
that
is
hosting
a
convening
for
elected
officials
around
the
country,
had
to
leave
for
a
commitment
related
to
that,
but
has
asked
me
how
to
follow
up
about
the
information
that
will
come
in
our
closed
session.
So
thank
you
to
councilmember
cunningham.
C
So
with
that,
we
will
adjourn
to
our
closed
meeting.
The
technical
instructions
are
the
same
as
always
you'll
close
out
of
this
meeting
and
then
enter
back
into
the
different
meeting
that
is
in
our
calendars.
I'll
see
you
all
there.
Thank
you.
A
I
will
do
a
quick
little
check
of
the
attendance,
madam
president,
and
when
I've
confirmed
we
have
a
quorum
present
I'll,
let
you
know
we
can
reconvene.
C
C
Thank
you,
mr
clerk.
The
time
is
now
11
50
a.m,
and
the
city
council
has
reconvened
an
open
session
following
our
closed
session
about
labor
negotiations,
I'll
ask
the
clerk
to
record
that
we
have
a
quorum
and
unless
there
are
any
further
announcements,
we
have
completed
all
of
the
items
on
our
agenda,
nothing
further
to
come
before
the
council
and
without
objection.
I
will
declare
this
meeting
adjourned.
