Description
Minneapolis City Council Meeting
https://lims.minneapolismn.gov/
A
Good
morning,
everyone
thank
you
for
your
patience.
I'm
lisa
bender
I'm,
the
president
of
the
City
Council,
and
before
we
start
our
regularly
scheduled
agenda,
we
have
a
special
resolution
today,
which
is
declaring
2020
multiple
sclerosis,
Awareness,
Week
and
I
will
turn
this
over
to
council.
Vice
president
Jenkins
and
councilmember
Schrader
to
make
the
presentation.
C
B
Ellison
was
joining
us
too.
You
know,
as
a
member
of
the
MS
community.
I
am
really
proud
to
be
able
to
to
share
this
resolution
in
support
of
multiple
sclerosis,
Awareness
Week,
to
bring
attention
to
a
community
of
individuals
that
are
dealing
with
this
auto
immune
disease
as
well
as
other
autoimmune
diseases.
It's
really
important
in
this
day,
when
we
have
these
infectious
viruses
that
are
spreading
around
the
country
and
around
the
world.
D
B
We
understand
some
of
these
vulnerable
populations
that
may
be
even
more
compromised
in
the
event
of
this
pandemic,
and
so
I'm
really
proud
to
stand
with
my
colleagues
to
recognize
the
2020,
multiple
sclerosis,
Awareness
Week
and
where,
as
multiple
sclerosis
MS
is
a
neurological
disease
of
the
nervous
central
nervous
system
affecting
nearly
1
million
people
in
the
United
States
alone.
And
whereas
multiple
sclerosis
generally
strikes
people
in
the
prime
of
their
life
between
the
ages
of
20
through
50
and
the.
F
Since
1946
the
Multiple
Sclerosis
Society
has
been
a
driving
force
for
MS
research,
relentlessly
pursuing
treat
prevention,
treatments
and
a
cure
and
has
invested
more
than
1
billion
dollars
in
groundbreaking.
Breaking
research
and
funds
raised
through
Linette
National
Multiple
Sclerosis
Society
has
fueled
thirty
eight
point:
seven
million
dollars
investing
into
one
hundred
and
twenty
three
new
research
projects
at
the
best
medical,
centers,
universities
and
other
institutions
throughout
the
United
States
and
abroad,
leading
to
many
breakthroughs
in
the
treatment
of
MS
and.
G
Whereas
stopping
at
mass
in
its
tracks
restoring
what
has
been
lost
and
ma-ma
ending
ms
forever
is
the
mission
of
the
National
Multiple
Sclerosis
Society,
and
one
that
all
Americans
in
Minnesota
should
support.
And
whereas
the
city
of
Minneapolis
recognizes
the
importance
of
finding
the
cause
and
cure
of
MS
and
expresses
its
appreciation
for
the
dedication
that
the
National
Multiple
Sclerosis,
Society,
Upper
Midwest
has
shown
towards
creating
a
world
free
of
MS.
B
So
now,
therefore,
be
it
resolved
that
the
mayor
and
the
city
council
do
hereby
affirm
March
8th
through
the
14
2020
as
multiple
sclerosis,
MS
Awareness
Week,
and
do
command
this
observance
to
all
of
our
residents.
We
encourage
our
residents
of
Minneapolis
to
learn
more
about
multiple
sclerosis
and
what
they
can
do
to
support
individuals
with
MS
and
their
families.
Thank
you,
and
we
have
a
word
from
councilmember
straighter
know.
C
C
C
F
Just
I
don't
want
to
miss
this
opportunity
to
thank
the
MS
Society,
because
it
is
something
just
my
own
personal
story.
My
some
of
the
recent
breakthroughs
we've
been
able
to
see.
We
just
had
my
mom's
been
able
to
walk
not
so
much
better
and
to
see
how
my
dad
who's
been
her
primary
caregiver
for
in
decades
now,
to
be
able
to
see
them,
look
at
each
other's
eyes
and
say:
well,
we
might
be
able
to
dance
again
what
they
haven't
gotten.
F
G
Yeah
basically
similar
story
when
I
was
around
15,
my
mom
I
was
diagnosed
with
MS
and
and
I've
seen
her
go
through
those
Evon
flows.
You
know
anybody
who
knows
her
knows
the
shoes.
She
was
a
tremendous
athlete
and
try.
You
know,
triathlon
a
performer
and
she's
gone
to
those
episode
flows
of
like
does
this.
You
know
what
is
my
ability.
What
can
I
still
do
and
to
see
her
sort
of
kind
of
lean
into
being
able
to
work
she's?
G
She
spent
some
time
on
the
Planning
Commission
she's,
still
in
the
school
board,
and
just
kind
of
seeing
her
and
learning
a
lot
about
what
it
means
to
support.
Someone
who
has
limited
mobility,
I
think
it's
something
that
is.
You
can
easily
overlook
if
it's
never
been
an
issue
for
you
to
step
onto
a
curb.
G
I
took
her
to
Cuba
about
two
years
ago,
and
and
and
it
was,
it
was
a
tremendous
experience
to
travel
with
my
mom,
but
also
very
you
realize
just
how
difficult
it
is
to
get
around
when
there
aren't
like
ramps
onto
the
street
and
onto
the
sidewalk
and
all
of
that
kind
of
stuff,
and
so
so
yeah.
So
just
thank
you
for
all
your
work
and
and
also
just
wanted
to
kind
of
come
up
here
and
recognized
with
my
colleagues
and
recognize
my
mom
who's
been.
You
know,
fighting
this
for
a
long
time.
B
I
was
using
a
cane
myself
and
and
thanks
to
research
thanks
to
awareness,
thanks
to
some
breakthroughs,
I
am
now
cane
three,
for
the
most
part,
haven't
quite
gotten
back
to
my
athlete
days
yet,
but
we're
working
towards
that
and
so
I
do
want
to
thank
in
their
society
and
all
the
efforts
that
you
guys
do
here
locally,
as
well
as
nationally
and
around
the
world,
and
so
it
is
a
great
honor
to
be
able
to
recognize
the
work
that
you
do
and
to
lift
up
awareness
around
this
issue.
Thank
you.
So
much
and.
H
B
A
Just
add
really
quickly.
I
can
see
the
emotion
as
my
colleagues
speak
and
I
just
want
to
thank
each
of
you
for
sharing
your
personal
journey
and
stories,
because
I
think
it
is
really
empowering
for
people
who
are
impacted
by
anything
by
medical
condition,
to
break
through
stigma
to
get
connected
to
resources
like
the
MS
Society,
so
I
know
it's
not
always
easy
to
put
our
personal
lives
and
selves
out
there,
and
each
of
you
have
done
that
bravely
and
just
want
to
come
in
to
you
and
lift
up
that
power.
A
A
I
J
A
The
record
reflect
that
there
is
a
quorum.
We
have
a
number
of
amendments
to
today's
agenda
with
a
number
of
items
moving
unexpectedly
I
thought.
Today's
meeting
was
going
to
be
brief
and
very
straightforward,
but
we
know
we
have
to
be
prepared
for
the
unexpected.
So
I
do
have
three
motions
to
amend
the
agenda.
They
are
all
in
front
of
you
on
behalf
of
myself
and
others
and
city
business
so,
and
then
I
will
also
pause,
of
course,
to
see
if
others
have
any
other
amendments.
A
So
the
first
item
to
include,
under
the
order
of
new
business
I'll,
move
to
amend
the
agenda
to
include
the
appointment
of
the
executive
director
of
the
Minneapolis
Public
Housing
Authority.
We
received
a
letter
from
the
chair
of
the
Minneapolis
Public
Housing
Authority
board
yesterday
afternoon,
and
they
have
they
have
themselves
made
the
decision
to
appoint
Abdi
Warsaw
me
as
the
director
of
the
Minneapolis
Public
Housing
Authority.
A
This
is
subject
to
council
approval,
so
in
order
to
work
together
with
them
to
fill
the
position
as
they're
transitioning,
their
interim
director
out,
is
leaving
for
another
job.
This
would
be
then
going
to
HPD
next
cycle
and
back
to
the
planning
back
to
the
full
City
Council
in
two
weeks.
So
that
is
a
motion
to
amend
the
agenda
under
the
order
of
new
business
for
that
item.
A
The
second
motion
is
to
include,
under
the
order
of
adjournment
a
security
briefing
as
part
of
a
closed
session
related
to
the
emergency
response
procedures
attended
to
the
public
health
and
safety
considerations
related
to
the
Cova
19
virus.
We
also
have
prepared
a
update
for
the
public
health,
the
peace
committee
Monday,
as
well
as
a
public
safety
meeting
on
Wednesday
and
during
this
item.
A
I
have
a
oh
sorry
and
then
that
I
have
a
third
item
as
well,
but
that
would
be
a
closed
session
for
council
members
to
be
able
to
hear
those
specific
issues
related
to
health
and
security.
I
want
to
assure
the
public
that
there's
no
secret,
you
know
items
being
discussed
there.
The
mayor
will
be
participating
in
a
press
event
with
the
governor
later
today,
and
we
have
many
mechanisms
to
share
information
with
the
public
plan
as
well
and
then
the
third
item.
A
The
motion
to
amend
the
agenda
would
be
a
motion
by
me
to
order
include,
under
the
order
of
new
business,
a
staff
direction
related
to
some
external
preparations
that
are
underway
in
related
to
our
community
response
to
the
kovat
19
virus.
This
is
by
no
means
an
exhaustive
list
and
it
does
not
include
all
the
preparations
that
are
happening
for
our
internal
preparations
as
a
workplace.
That
will
be
part
of
the
discussion
at
the
closed
session
briefings
of
council
members
and
the
two
committee
meetings
that
are
happening
next
week.
A
So
I
want
to
assure
folks
that
this
is
not
an
exhaustive
list,
but
it
is
intended
to
give
direction
and
signal
to
our
staff,
who
are
already
working
on
preparations
to
support
residents
and
businesses,
that
they
have
the
support
of
city
leadership
and
the
City
Council,
and
this
reflects
a
lot
of
things
that
we
heard
at
a
leadership
meeting
yesterday.
So,
apologies
for
the
long-winded
descriptions
for
each
of
these,
but
those
are
three
motions
items
to
move
to
amend
the
agenda.
Of
course
each
will
have
their
own
discussion
later.
A
A
A
A
J
Torrey
Services
Committee
is
bringing
seven
items
forward
this
morning.
Item
number
one:
is
a
new
business
license
item
two
our
liquor
license
approvals
item
three:
are
the
liquor
license
renewals
you'll
note?
There
are
a
hundred
and
thirteen
of
those
moving
forward
today
item
four:
the
gambling
license
approvals.
Five
and
six
are
rental,
dwelling
license
reinstatements
and
item
number.
Seven
is
the
lease
termination
agreement
for
the
property
at
ten
West
Lake
Street,
which
is
terminating
the
lease
with
Kmart,
and
that
has
been
much
discussed,
which
is
probably
the
largest
item
on
today's
agenda.
A
Goodman
has
moved
the
committee
reports.
Is
there
any
discussion?
I,
don't
see
any
others.
I
will
put
myself
in
queue.
We
have
talked
a
lot
about
the
lease
agreement
with
Kmart,
but
it
is
just
such
a
momentous
moment
that
I
just
want
to
pause
and
really
especially
think
and
lift
up
the
contributions
of
so
many
people
who
lay
the
groundwork
for
us
getting
to
this
moment.
You
know
a
lot
of
times
the
work
that
we
do
while
we
get
to
be
in
these
chairs.
A
A
The
city
first
took
formal
action
on
this
in
1998
and
councilmember
Robert
Liljegren
was
instrumental
in
bringing
putting
all
of
the
pieces
in
place
that
it
took
to
get
us
here,
developing
a
small
area
plan
in
coordination
with
community
leader
leaders
at
the
Whittier
Alliance
lyndale
organization,
that
business
associations
nearby
is
so
many
community
partners
who
are
there
today
ready
to
be
partners
still
as
we
go
forward.
Council
former
council
vice
president
Elizabeth
Glidden
and
I
had
monthly
meetings
for
the
entire
four
years
of
last
term.
A
We
met
every
single
month,
putting
you
know,
putting
those
pieces
in
place,
building
off
of
the
work
that
councilmember,
Liljegren
and
others
had
laid
down
and
with
the
support
and
guidance
and
help
of
the
chairs
councilmember
Goodman
at
the
time
and
still
the
Economic
Development
chair
and
councilmember
Reich,
the
transportation
Public
Works
chair
council
president
barb
Johnson
was
a
supporter
of
getting
the
funds
in
place
when
we
needed
to
quickly
act
and
but
all
of
the
mayor's
who've
been
in
office.
Mayor
Rybak,
mayor
Hodges,
mayor
Frye,
have
been
supporters
and
advocates
for
this
project.
A
So
all
of
that
work
is
so
appreciated
and
I
wanted
to
highlight
all
of
it.
I
do
want
to
say
a
couple
of
things
about
what
will
happen
going
forward
and
and
also
pause,
and
just
thanks
so
much
the
staff
who've
put
in
you
know
countless
hours
getting
us
here
and
we're
so
smart
and
strategic
I
said
this
in
committee,
but
it's
often
difficult
for
a
public
entity
to
act
in
the
private
market.
We
can't
move
as
quickly
as
private
actors.
We
can't
you
know.
A
Often
we
have
limitations
in
budget
that
private
sector
may
not
have
as
much
constraint,
and
our
staff
led
by
david,
frank
in
three
different
roles
at
sea.
Ped
have
been
nimble
and
strategic.
Mr.
frank
built
relationships
with
folks
at
three
different
private
entities
that
were
needed
to
have
agreements
with
the
city
in
order
to
gain
full
control
of
this
site
and
reopen
Nicollet
Avenue.
A
His
team
has
been
extraordinary
in
moving
quickly
when
needed
in
it.
You
know
and
keeping
the
communication
lines
open
when
things
are
moving
slowly
and
really
are
the
reason
that
we
are
here
today.
I
truly
believe
it's
because
of
David
Frank's
efforts
and
the
efforts
of
his
team,
and
we
have
so
many
partners
in
the
City
Attorney's
office
in
the
city
coordinators
office
and
the
public
works
department,
who's
been
there
as
supporters
and
collaborators
and
then
now
going
forward.
You
know
I
think
all
of
us
are
so
excited
to
imagine
the
future
of
this
site.
A
There
is
extraordinary
opportunity
to
connect
pedestrian
connections
to
make
a
safe
and
vibrant
Street
to
build
a
transit
connection
that
is
more
inviting
and
reliable
for
residents,
not
just
there.
In
the
immediate
neighborhood
but
citywide,
but
we
also
know
that
this
is
a
neighborhood
and
an
area
of
our
city
that
is
undergoing
extraordinary
pressure
and
displacement.
Today,
the
Whittier
neighborhood,
which
I
represent,
is
90
percent,
renter
and
I
believe
is
one
of
the
most
quickly
changing
neighborhoods
in
our
city,
where
folks
are
constantly
at
risk
of
losing
their
homes,
where
we
have
many
small
businesses.
A
Many
immigrant
owned
businesses
that
are
renting
their
property
and
are
also
at
risk
for
displacement.
So
I
just
want
to
say
so
very
clearly
that
everything
that
even
the
very
preliminary
discussions
that
have
taken
place
so
far
with
policymakers
and
staff
are
really
aimed
at
both
of
those
goals
of
thinking
big
about
our
future
looking
out
50
years
or
more
and
understanding
how
this
can
help
us
meet
our
sustainability
and
our
race.
A
We
have
strong
partners
in
the
community,
of
course,
there's
public
housing
very
nearby
here
as
today.
So
all
of
those
partners
are
ready
to
go
I
know
many
more
in
the
community
and
throughout
our
city.
Community
are
ready
to
pitch
in
and
help
meet
these
dual
goals
of
dreaming
about
the
future,
but
also
honoring
the
contributions
of
the
people
who
are
there
today
and
protecting
the
most
vulnerable
in
our
communities.
A
So
I'm
excited
to
work
with
all
of
you,
my
colleagues
with
the
mayor
with
the
community
here,
to
reach
those
goals
and
again
so
thankful
to
all
the
work
that
got
us
to
this
moment.
We
look
forward
to
cutting
the
ribbon
I
promise
to
councilmember
Liljegren
that
he
would
be
the
person
like
cutting
the
ribbon
or
you
know,
I,
don't
know
hitting
the
mallet
into
the
wall.
I
I
stand
by
that
promise
to
him
and
I'm
excited
for
that
day
and
all
the
moments
to
come
in
this
project
house
always
for
the
chickens.
Thank.
B
You,
madam
president,
and
thank
you
for
that
for
those
words
and
those
reassurances
that
a
deep
concern
for
anti
displacement
will
be
exhibited.
You
know,
as
as
a
policy
aide
to
both
of
the
aforementioned
council
members.
I
have
attended
the
vast
majority
of
all
those
conversations
that
you
noted
and
today
is
just
a
really
emotional
and
exciting
day,
I
think
for
for
all
the
people
you
name
but
but
even
more
importantly,
for
them,
the
community
I
mean
you
run
into
people
in
that
community.
B
A
C
A
C
You,
madam
president,
there
are
two
items
being
brought
forward
from
the
enterprise
committee
meeting
this
cycle.
The
first
is
gift
fix-ups
acceptance
for
some
travel
to
Cleveland,
State
University
for
the
Smart
City
surveillance
and
privacy
conference.
This
is
for
our
staff
member
JP
Heysel
I
do
want
to
mention
that
since
this
time
that
we
had
Enterprise
Committee,
this
event
has
been
canceled,
but
it
does
say
there
may
be
an
opportunity
to
reschedule
so
I
think.
The
best
action
here
is
just
to
continue
to
move
forward
with
this
motion.
C
Should
it
be
rescheduled
sometime,
you
know
this
year
and
item
number
two
is
a
contract
with
be
fresh
productions
for
the
future
of
our
community
media
access
services
to
manage
public
access,
television,
the
owners
and
operators
of
be
fresh
came
to
committee,
and
we
had
a
short
presentation
on
this.
I
moved
both
of
these
items
for
approval.
A
A
A
E
You
president
bender,
the
housing
policy
development
committee
is
bringing
forward
to
contract
amendments
for
your
consideration
today.
The
first
is
an
amendment
with
minneapolis
public
housing
authority
for
the
stable
home,
stable,
Schools
Initiative,
and
the
second
is
a
contract
amendment
with
Ellie
Mae
for
laundered
ministration
software
services.
I
will
move
both
items
for
approval,
casimir.
A
A
I
B
K
You,
madam
president,
the
intergovernmental
relations
committee
brings
forward
one
item
today.
It's
an
amendment
to
our
legislative
agenda
and
policy
positions
related
to
catalytic
converters.
I
will
note
that
the
language
on
the
agenda
is
a
little
off
from
what
was
passed
at
committee.
What
we
passed
a
committee
wasn't
regarding
the
use
of
technology.
It
was
greater
regulation
and
enforcement
from
the
state
to
help
stem
the
tide
of
catalytic
converter
thefts
which
are
really
affecting
a
lot
of
working
people
across
the
city.
A
A
A
I
Fletcher
I
Jenkins
hi
Schrader
I
were
Sonny
I
Ellison,
all
right
Goodman.
All.
J
A
E
You
very
much
president
bender,
the
Peace
Committee
is
bringing
forward
two
items.
The
first
is
a
grant
application
to
the
US
Department
of
Health
and
Human
Services
for
strategic
prevention
framework
to
support
the
partnership
for
success.
Our
efforts
are
that's
the
grant
and
the
second
item
is
accepting
a
small
addition
to
a
grant
from
the
statewide
health
improvement
partnership
funds.
This
is
five
thousand
dollars
to
support
walkable
community
workshops
and
the
action
plan.
Implementation
for
the
Glendale
townhomes
I
will
move
both
items
forward
for
approval,
consumer.
A
H
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
the
public
safety
and
emergency
management
committee
has
two
items
to
bring
forward
today.
One
is
authorizing
a
contract
with
the
University
of
Minnesota
Veterinary
Medical
Center
for
police
canine
health
services
in
item
number.
Two
is
accepting
a
grant
from
the
Malloy
from
the
Women's
Foundation
of
Minnesota
for
grant
expenses
related
to
the
testing
of
the
sex
assault,
exam
kits
and
with
that
I
move.
These
two
item
forward.
These
two
items
forward
and
stand
for
any
questions.
Cal.
H
I
A
L
You,
madam
president,
the
committee
will
be
moving
forward
with
11
items
today.
Item
1
of
the
2020
street
resurfacing
program
for
the
fuller
south
residential
designation.
2
is
also
for
the
fuller
self
residential
allostery
research
project.
Approval
of
approval
of
the
assessments-
3
is
the
37th
Avenue
Northeast
street
resurfacing.
Project.
L
10
is
the
joint
powers
agreement
with
MnDOT
for
the
3rd
Avenue
Bridge
project
regarding
the
traffic
control
mitigation
plan
and
11?
Is
the
highway
250
to
I-94
min
pass
expansion
project
and
there's
a
resolution
associated
with
that
stating
community
and
city
priorities?
I
move
all
items
by
the
president
council.
G
I
just
wanted
to
say
quickly
that
I
want
to
think
about,
colleagues
for
and
everyone
who's
involved
in
help
crafting
the
resolution
and
that
I
think
that,
because
of
council
members
being
sick,
myself
being
sick
council
member
Cunningham
being
sick,
there's
a
staff
direction
that
we
weren't
able
to
pull
together,
but
that
we
will
be
working
with
the
reaching
out
to
the
City
Attorney's
office
to
talk
about
a
future
staff
direction
related
to
this
item.
That's
all.
L
Think
you
Madame,
president
I,
would
give
you
to
know
two
things.
This
was
forwarded
without
recommendation,
so
I
will
move
as
amended
through
the
committee
work
that
we
did
and
given
that
that
work
was
carried
by
three
of
my
colleagues
I
wish
they
would
be
named
formally
on
by
the
clerk
that
would
be
ellison,
bender
and
Cunningham.
F
You,
madam
president,
I
just
want
to
thank
the
four
colleagues
that
have
worked
on
this
and
just
also
make
it
very
clear
that
this
is
not
a
North
Minneapolis
issue.
This
is
an
issue
that
affects
all
of
Minneapolis.
The
same
kind
of
thing
was
proposed
on
the
35w
expansion.
My
constituents
and
others
stood
up,
demanded,
transit,
demanded
a
better
plan
and
got
that,
and
that
is
exactly
what
we're
expecting
to
happen.
That
needs
to
happen
in
North
Minneapolis
as
well.
Thank.
A
You
customers,
Schrader
I,
put
myself
in
queue.
We
had
some
discussion
about
this
at
the
IGR
committee,
the
other
day
on
Wednesday,
but
I
did
just
want
to
reiterate
to
my
support
for
customers.
Allison
and
Cunningham
I
was
able
to
attend
a
policy
maker
meeting
with
them,
along
with
folks
from
MnDOT
and
Metro
Transit,
the
county
and
the
other
project
partners.
A
And
you
know
things
are
moving
very
quickly
for
this
project
in
some
ways,
but
it
is
also
a
very
long-term
project
in
other
ways
and
I
think
we're
at
a
critical
turning
point
where
decisions
are
being
made
about
the
scope
of
the
project,
the
scope
of
the
environmental
review.
You
know
the
time
is
now
or
or
even
potentially
a
bit
past
and
late
for
us
to
have
the
pieces
in
place
to
have
transit
ready
to
go
as
part
of
this
project,
and
so
we
were
really
encouraged
with
that
meeting.
A
You
know
existing
freeway
and
frame
expansion
in
their
community,
and
we
feel
I
think
very
strongly
that
you
know
standing
together
with
community
members
in
these
three
communities
that
are
impacted
by
the
project.
There's
a
lot
of
concern
from
folks
about
traffic
volumes
almost
doubling
through
their
communities
and
the
air
quality
environmental
health
impacts
of
that
there's
remaining
concerns
about
the
freeway
itself
and
about
lack
of
mitigation
for
past
harms.
A
There's
concern
about
the
loss
of
homes,
as
proposed
as
part
of
the
expansion
project
outside
of
the
borders
of
Minneapolis,
so
I
think
we
stand
in
solidarity
with
those
and
within
our
community
and
in
the
other.
Communities
who
are
raising
these
concerns
so
again
appreciate
so
much
the
leadership
of
our
colleagues
Allison
and
Cunningham
and
reiterate
our
my
support
and
I
think
the
body's
support
for
their
leadership.
Councilmember
Gordon.
E
E
I
think
this
is
probably
just
the
beginning
of
what's
going
to
be
an
ongoing
effort
and
challenge
to
make
sure
that
we
get
what
the
people
deserve
out
of
this
project
and
I'm
glad
that
we're
able
to
go
on
record
and
state
our
position
so
carefully
and
articulately
so
appreciate
that
and
let's
see
if
we
can't
really
make
a
big
difference
here.
Thank.
G
I
know
where
our
ratings
at
the
City
Council
here
at
way
up,
who
are
tuning
in
and
wondering
sort
of
like.
Okay,
what's
going
on
with
94
and
252,
you
know
just
as
a
bit
of
background
I'll
keep
it
very
short
94.
It
was
a
highway
that
really
that
really
decimated
communities,
multiple
communities,
black
communities,
along
along
its
path
and
so
and
so
I
think
it
can
be
easy
to
just
say
like
okay.
This
is
an
existing
highway.
G
What's
there
to
sort
of
like
I
care
about
here,
but
I
think
it's
really
important
that
that
that
be
noted,
that
that,
when
you
that
there
are
people
who
are
still
living
in
North
Minneapolis
today,
who
who
very
much
so
remember
the
damage
that
94
caused
and
even
for
folks
like
myself,
who
have
never
lived
life
without
94
right
there
in
the
community,
we've
heard
the
stories
and
we
know
and
that
that's
not
just
true
for
North
Minneapolis.
But
it's
also
true
for
the
Rondo
neighborhood
and
st.
G
Paul,
some
and
and
I
think,
and
that
the
damage
caused
was
so
much
so
that
in
Rondo
there's
actually
a
project
called
reconnect.
Rondo,
that's
talking
about
a
building,
a
land
bridge
and
that's
far
off
and
that's
sort
of
it's
a
lofty
goal
to
sort
of
cap.
A
freeway
is
very
expensive,
but
it's
the
it's.
The
the
freeways
caused
so
much
damage
that
that
those
are
the
types
of
solutions
that
people
are
looking
for.
G
We're
not
asking
for
that
here
here,
we're
talking
about
making
sure
that
we
do
not
disrupt
the
existing
connectivity
and
that
and
that
we
don't
expand
the
freeway.
But
I
just
wanted
to
sort
of
clarify
you
know
for
anyone
at
home.
Looking
and
saying
this
seems
like
very
technical
issue.
What
is
there
to
really
care
about
here
that
that's
sort
of
the
some
of
the
history
and
some
of
the
impact
that
that
we're
looking
to
address
and
in
the
future
on
do
so?
That's
it.
Thank.
L
B
We
recently
installed
a
new
pedestrian
bridge
that
will
reconnect
communities
as
the
artists,
design,
pedestrian
bridge,
designed
by
say,
Jones
renowned,
internationally
renowned
artists,
who
grew
up
in
the
neighborhood
and
in
actually
witness
the
disruption
of
35w,
as
well
as
the
Rondo
neighborhood
in
Saint
Paul.
That
was
mentioned
and
I
think
you
know
we
have
seen
the
power
of
standing
up
to
the
forces
that
want
to
expand
freeways
in
our
communities
through
the
efforts
and
the
work
of
former
councilmember
Robert
Liljegren,
as
well
as
former
council.
B
Vice
president
Elizabeth
Glidden,
who
has
just
walked
into
the
room
and
and
really
stood
firm
to
say
that
we
will
not
allow
the
expansion
of
our
freeways
is
particularly
without
a
transit
option,
and
so
this
resolution
today
is
really
important
step.
Two
to
reaffirm
our
commitment
to
our
communities
and
and
I
think
it's
really
gonna
create
more
safety.
It
helps
us
to
meet
our
goals
of.
B
A
You
any
further
discussion.
I
won't
count
this
as
the
last
word,
but
I
I
think
I
will
add
just
that
there
is
a
meeting
coming
up.
The
next
meeting
of
the
the
policy
group
that
has
been
meeting
will
include
I,
think
leadership
from
MnDOT
and
Metro
Transit.
Their
staff
have
been
there,
of
course,
and
we're
at
this
last
meeting
that
we
had
but
I
believe
that
there's
a
lot
of
shared
value
there
in
the
leadership
of
MnDOT
and
Metro
Transit.

A
J
A
F
About
him,
president,
the
zoning
and
planning
committee
will
bring
is
bringing
forward
5
items
for
approval
today.
The
first
is
the
a
denial
of
a
appeal
for
the
conditional
use
permit
and
a
site
plan
of
a

The
third
is
the

Street

and
for

Avenue
South
as
well
as

F
A
E
And
I
did
this,
those
who
are
on
the
committee.
You
know
that
we
discussed
this
at
length
there.
This
is
a
project,
that's
come
through
the
council
once
before,
and
it
was
coming
back
for
some
amendments.
It
was
approved
by
the
Planning
Commission
for
those
amendments,
but
it
was
appealed
to
the
zoning
and
planning
committee
and
I
don't
need
to
relive
everything,
but
I
thought
this
is
worthy
of
a
brief
speech,
as
I
would
say
in
my
illustrious
career
on
the
City
Council,
this
has
been
the
most
difficult
and
challenging
development
projects.
E
It's
come
along
and
there's
been
lots
of
development
in
war
two
during
that
time
period.
It
was
particularly
painful
because
of
the
division
that
created
in
the
community.
Many
people
see
this
as
a
positive
development
because,
with
the
housing
units
it's
going
to
bring
in
the
retail
it's
going
to
bring
right
along
when
I
would
say
it's
the
state's
premier
light
rail
line,
the
Green
Line
and
the
West
Gate
station
right
on
the
border.
E
Many
people
are
deeply
concerned,
however,
about
the
impacts
that
might
have
on
some
of
the
historic
treasures
in
the
area
we
have.
The
famous
Prospect
Park,
which
is
hat
tower
right
near
this
people,
are
concerned
about
those
views.
We
also
have
a
historic
district
and
some
properties,
and
this
development
goes
very
close
to
those
I'm
each
time
it's
come
to
the
council.
I
think
we've
made
efforts
to
mitigate
the
concerns
about
those
and
this.
This
current
version
of
the
project
is
actually
a
little
bit
smaller
and
a
little
bit
lower.
E
I
also
really
appreciate
that
committee
members
were
willing
to
support
some
added
conditions
and
we
added
conditions
at
the
committee
that
would
conserve
more
of
a
current
building
that
could
provide
valuable
retail.
It's
also
I
think
a
lot
of
people
see
it
as
a
historic
resource
in
the
community,
the
art
and
architecture
building.
So
now
we're
conserving
more
of
that,
and
but
we're
also
added
a
condition
to
do
a
better
job
of
screening.
A
A
A
B
You,
madam
president,
the
executive
committee
brings
forward
three
items
to
the
council
today
for
consideration
and
I'm
number
one
is
the
appointment
of
Mark
ruff
to
a
two-year
term
as
City
coordinator.
This
item
is
slated
to
be
referred
to
the
Committee
of
the
Whole
for
scheduling
of
a
public
hearing
and
number
two
is
a
collective
bargaining
agreement
with
the
ask
me
water
unit
and
item
number
three
is
an
agreement
with
the
Teamsters
Convention
Center
custodians
unit.
A
A
There
are
12
eyes
that
carries
in
the
report
is
adopted.
The
next
order
of
business
is
resolutions,
and
we
have
an
honorary
resolution
declaring
multiple
sclerosis
this
week.
Are
there
any
further
comments
from
Council
members,
seeing
none
all
in
favor,
say
aye
aye,
any
opposed,
say
no
that
carries
and
the
honorary
resolution
is
adopted.
The
next
order
of
business
is
motions
and
we
have
a
motion
from
councilmember
Palmisano,
the
discharge
from
the
public
safety
and
emergency
management
committee.
Further
consideration
of
a
grant
application
to
the
Department
of
Justice
I'll
call
on
councilmember
Palmisano.
C
Thank
you,
madam
president.
This
is
the
motion
that
I
have
been
sharing
with.
Colleagues
in
the
final
motion
that
I
sent
out
earlier
yesterday.
I
want
to
say
this
in
the
past
couple
of
weeks
that
supporting
chief
Arredondo
and
his
vision
will
at
times
take
both
trust
in
the
work
of
dedicated
staff
at
City,
Hall
and
also
political
will
I'm
asking
you
to
have
that
today
and
we
discussed
this
item
and
had
a
presentation
at
public
safety.
C
Our
chief
spoke
for
about
an
hour
with
our
colleagues
for
their
questions
at
public
safety,
and
then
we
discussed
it
again
at
committee
of
the
whole
this
week,
I
have
listened
to
the
concerns
and
ideas
voiced
by
my
colleagues,
even
at
the
committee
of
the
whole
and
I've
really
taken
them
to
heart.
I
think
that
what
I've
prepared
this
three
staff
directions.
That
would
be
my
second
motion
here.
Should
we
discharge?
This
item
speak
directly
to
that
I
want
to
lift
up
something
briefly
mentioned
by
council.
C
Vice
president
Jenkins
at
committee
of
the
whole
that
there's
very
much
a
need
for
a
dedicated
traffic
unit
to
investigate
motor
vehicle
and
pedestrian
bike
collisions.
There
have
been
many
cases
over
the
last
several
years
where
we
have
not.
We've
had
to
use
our
own
internal
civilian
investigators
in
the
City
Attorney's
Office,
not
MPD,
to
work
up
cases
for
charging,
because
our
officers
don't
have
the
bandwidth
to
do
it.
These
are
cases
that
sometimes
involve
a
tragic
fatality.
C
I
cannot
imagine
how
that
looks
to
the
courts
and
to
the
juries
and
to
the
families
of
the
victims,
where
the
police
haven't
even
been
able
to
work
up
those
cases.
A
traffic
and
pedestrian
safety
unit
is
not
simply
about
pulling
people
over.
There
is
a
real
need
for
it
and
it
goes
to
vision,
zero
and
the
other
priorities
that
we
all
support
is
a
city.
If
our
public
safety
committee
wanted
to
have
more
conversation
on
the
item,
I
think
we
would
allow
it
to
come
to
Council
for
all
of
us
to
discuss
it.
C
If
we
wanted
staff
to
do
more
with
this
or
to
provide
more
information,
since
this
was
referred
back
in
February,
we
would
have
told
them
to
do
so
when
we
referred
it
back
to
them
in
committee.
These
last
several
weeks
since
it
was
referred
originally
to
that
committee
back
in
February
by
our
council,
I've
been
asking
a
lot
of
questions
of
MPD
and
I,
find
them
off
in
deep
in
the
work
of
emergency
planning.
C
Given
urgent
issues
in
our
global
environment,
I
know
they're
ready
to
ensure
our
first
responders
are
ready
to
respond
and
have
needed
resources.
I
urge,
my
colleagues
that
this
is
not
the
right
time
to
be
asking
MPD
to
provide
additional
analysis.
So
I
ask
that
we
continue
this
effort
if
we
end
up
with
the
opportunity
to
receive
these
funds,
which,
in
committee
with
nearly
an
hour
of
the
Chiefs
time
it
was
explained,
we
would
not
know
until
the
August
or
September
timeframe
so
I'm
moving
to
discharge
this
item
from
committee.
C
They
cut
it
because
of
timeliness
and
because
I
think
we're
ready
to
move
forward.
I
want
to
move
this
forward
in
a
manner
that
increases
transparency,
and
it
also
includes
the
thoughtful
work
from
councilmember
Cunningham
in
the
budget
cycle.
So
in
the
motion
to
follow.
If
this
is
successful,
there
are
three
really
important
things.
One
is
the
way
this
money
would
be
transparently
included
and
considered
fully
in
our
next
budget
cycle.
The
second
is
even
more
opportunities
for
the
public
to
share
their
feedback.
C
A
public
hearing
should
we
receive
the
grant
monies
or
and
be
in
a
position
to
accept
them
at
public
safety
committee
and
item
3
is
to
ensure
we
are
delaying
re-establishment
of
this
unit
until
and
with
the
recommendations
from
the
workgroup
established
to
ensure
racial
disparity,
issues
are
fully
addressed.
These
protections,
I
think,
are
really
important.
Councilmember
Cunningham
reached
out
this
morning
to
me
when
he
couldn't
be
in
today,
and
he
expressed
his
support
for
discharging
this
item
from
committee,
so
we
could
discuss.
C
It
is
a
full
council
and
discuss
potential
pathways
to
address
the
concerns
about
the
grant
application
process.
We
can
do
engagement,
work
around
this
working
with
constituents
and
do
so
in
a
way
that
addresses
racial
disparities.
We
can't
do
any
of
that.
It
dies
in
committee
and
gets
deleted
from
the
agenda
when
we
choose
to
administrative
leap,
all
that
item,
without
clarity
as
to
how
it
will
look
when
it
comes
back
or
what
staff
are
supposed
to
do
with
it,
I
believe
we're
sending
it
into
purgatory.
C
A
You
cosmic
pumice
Donna's
motion
is
before
us.
I
see
counselors
in
queue.
I
do
want
to
note
before
the
discussion
that
this
motion
will
require
the
support
of
two-thirds
of
the
council
members
present
in
order
to
be
successful,
because
it
is
an
action
to
discharge
the
work
from
the
committee
and
bring
it
to
the
full
City
Council.
Instead,
counselor
Fletcher.
D
Quick
google
search
reveals
cities
that
were
voting
on
this
as
early
as
February
4th.
So
there
are
police
departments
around
the
country
that
brought
this
forward
with
more
time
for
consideration.
I
also
want
to
just
be
clear
that
I
have
been
asking
for
a
report
asking
the
mayor
and
the
chief
for
a
report
on
why
our
racial
disparities
in
traffic
enforcement
are
what
they
are
and
I
even
went
as
far
as
to
solicit
credible
third
parties.
Who
could
do
that
report
and
bring
at
least
one
proposal
forward
as
one
possible
path
to
getting
that
information?
A
Thank
you,
I
put
myself
in
queue
to
speak,
I
I,
don't
serve
on
the
Public
Safety,
Committee
and
I
know.
There
was
a
robust
discussion
there
more
on
some
of
those
substantive
issues,
and
you
know
the
ongoing
work
that
that
committee
is
doing.
I
want
to
make
a
few
points,
though,
from
my
perspective
first
I
do
want
to
highlight
that
discharging
work
from
a
committee
is
an
unusual
step
to
take
and
I
would
caution
against
drawing
any
particular
conclusions
about
what
precedent
this
might
set
or
not
regarding
those
kinds
of
actions.
A
So
for
me,
those
compromise
elements
that
were
so
important
to
get
my
support
and
comfort
to
supporting
an
eight
million
dollar
annual
increase
in
MPD's
budget
in
December
those
those
pieces
were
significant
and
meaningful,
and
that
was
that
we
were
not
increasing
the
number
of
officers
in
the
department.
That
was
a
critical
piece
of
the
agreement
that
I
agreed
to
that.
We
were
investing
instead
in
training
to
bring
our
capacity
up
to
those
that
are
authorized
today.
A
For
me,
the
pieces,
the
staff
traction
that
I
co-authored
with
councilmember
Cunningham
around
enforcement
I'm
serious
about
that
I.
Take
that
very
seriously
I've
been
working
on
Traffic
Safety
for
twenty
years
and
I
can
tell
you
a
number
of
things.
I
could
go
on
at
length
about
the
facts
and
what
data
and
research
shows
and
with
what
the
experience
of
other
cities
show
about
traffic
enforcement
related
to
traffic
deaths,
I'll
state.
Very
simply
that
simply
reducing
the
speed
limit
eliminates
crashes
in
cities
that
don't
increase
enforcement.
A
It
eliminates
crashes,
we
know
from
around
the
country
that
speed
cameras
and
camera
enforcement
is
the
number
one
way
to
have
a
meaningful
impact
on
safety
and
enforcement,
and
we
are
working
very
hard
to
earn
the
support
of
our
legislature
to
be
able
to
do
that.
We
also
know
from
the
experience
of
other
cities
that
targeted
and
strategic
enforcement
is
necessary
both
to
have
a
meaningful
impact
on
street
safety,
so
that
we
can
look
our
constituents
in
the
eye
and
say
this
is
actually
making
you
safer
in
the
streets
and
that
work
is
forthcoming.
A
The
the
group
that
we
set
up
during
that
staff
direction
hasn't
even
met
yet
and
so
I
take
that
seriously.
I
meant
that
before
we
establish
a
Traffic
Division,
the
work
should
be
done
not
just
beginning
not
contemplated
for
the
future
and
I
know.
My
colleagues,
many
folks
are
more
involved
than
I
am
and
the
staffing
study,
but
that
was
also
a
piece
of
the
discussion
and
the
compromise
and
the
agreement
that
we
came
to
that
enabled
a
lot
of
us
to
be
able
to
support
an
eight
million
dollar
annual
investment
in
the
police
department.
A
Just
two
months
ago
and
this
grant
to
be
clear,
I
know
this
came
up
at
committee,
but
this
is
the
city
agreeing
to
spend
millions
more
dollars
in
of
public
money
in
our
police
department.
So
talking
about
process
I
think
for
some
in
the
community
who
want
us
to
use
every
single
lever
that
we
have
council
members
to
create
accountability
and
more
public
transparency
and
more
civilian
oversight
in
our
department.
A
The
budget
is
an
important
lever
and
to
come
in
through
a
back
door
process
months
later
to
commit
the
city
to
adding
millions
more
dollars
to
the
police
department,
with
no
public
hearing
with
very
little
public
discussion
feels
outside
the
spirit
of
the
agreement
that
we
made
just
a
couple
of
months
ago.
I
want
to
get
to
a
place
where
I
feel
really
proud
of
the
work
of
our
Minneapolis.
A
You
know,
take
away
from
the
work
that
is
happening
in
those
progress
on
those
important
elements
that
were
part
of
that
part
of
that
discussion.
So
I
don't
think
this
is
closing
the
door
to
future
investments.
Certainly
not
in
traffic
enforcement,
there
was
significant
interest
in
that
I
might
as
clear.
The
work
is
starting
in
April
to
put
the
pieces
in
place
that
we
need
for
that
to
be
successful,
so
I
think
you
know
we
have
another
budget
proposal
coming
from
the
mayor
soon.
A
You
know
he's
made
clear
his
commitment
to
increasing
the
police
force
and
to
continuing
to
increase
the
funding
for
the
police
department,
so
I
disobey,
more
proposals
in
that
spirit
in
the
future.
So
this
will
be
an
ongoing
discussion,
but
today
I
think
it's
clear
to
me
that
this
is
really
you
know
coming
forward,
and
it's
just
so
quickly
after
our
budget
discussions
in
a
way
that
I
can't
support
councillor
Ellison.
G
All
right,
thank
you,
got
a
president.
Mm-Hmm
I
did
want
to
thank
House
member
Palmisano
for
the
amount
of
transparency
in
forwarding
this,
and
getting
this
to
us
before
today.
I
think
it's
a
great
example
of
how
we
can
be
transparent
with
each
other.
Even
when
we
don't
agree.
I
did
want
to
sort
of
just
to
just
to
add
to
what
my
colleagues
have
said
so
far
that
the
the
the
time
line,
piece,
I,
think
is
difficult.
We've
heard
a
couple
of
things.
G
One
is
that
well,
this
came
up
so
fast
and
that
we
didn't
have
time
to
talk
to
committee
members
and
and
committee
members
weren't
talked
to.
We
did
have
a
great
discussion
in
committee,
but
but
for
the
most
part
committee
members,
weren't
weren't
talked
to
prior
to
committee
about
what
this
was
about
the.
Why
and
even
during
that
discussion.
I
think
that
two
council
members
point
we.
G
There's
no
sort
of
research
there's
no
way
to
implement
a
great
strategy
to
ensure
that
we
do
not
sort
of
steep
in
the
racial
disparities
when
it
comes
to
traffic
enforcement
and
and
then,
and
then
also
again,
I
want
to
reiterate
that
referring
this
back
to
staff,
to
for
them
to
work
on
and
for
them
to
make
sure
that
we
have
a
great
proposal.
I,
don't
agree
that
that
sort
of
effectively
kills
this.
G
We
know
that
we
haven't
had
a
cop's
grant
in
in
a
number
of
years,
partially
because
of
a
lawsuit
related
to
sanctuary
cities,
and
so
we
can
anticipate
that
these
grants
are
going
to
be
available
with
more
frequency.
That's
my
understanding
as
I've
gotten
a
little
bit
more
familiar
with
this
issue,
and
so
I
don't
agree
that
that
we've
effectively
killed
this
in
committee.
I.
G
Think
that
this
is
that
we
believe
this
needed
more
work,
I
think
it's
evident
that
it
does
and
that
we
were
earnest
in
saying
in
referring
this
back
to
staff,
to
say:
let's,
let's
get
some
more
some
more
work
to
this
and
and
I
and
and
to
the
council
president's
point.
G
I
do
have
an
issue
with
us
taking
on
I
think
two
critical
issues
that
people
that
the
public
would
want
to
have
a
huge
say
in,
and
that
did
that
they
did
have
a
huge
say
in
just
a
couple
of
months
ago,
and
that
is
whether
or
not
we're
going
to
increase
the
number
of
sworn
officers.
This
grant
was
sign
us
up
to
do
that,
and
and
also
that
this
grant
is,
it's
not.
You
know,
quote-unquote
free
money,
right,
it's
it's
it's
1.2,
but
signing
the
city
up
for
4.6
million
right,
that's
a
that's!
G
A
huge
investment
that
we're
that
we're
that
we're
signing
up
for
and
so
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
it's
it's
it's!
For
those
reasons
we
don't
know
how
we're
going
to
ensure
that
we
don't
increase
racial
disparities.
G
There's
budget
implications
that
the
public
is
not
a
part
of
their
staffing
implications
that
the
public
has
not
been
a
part
of
those
are
the
reasons
that
that
I
won't
be
supporting
discharging
this
from
committee
and
and
and
lastly,
I-
do
think
that
the
committee
did
its
work
and
did
its
job
in
referring
this
back
to
staff,
and
so
for
those
four
reasons.
I
won't
be
supporting
discharging
it
from
committee
counsel,.
F
About
a
president,
I
echo,
the
sentiments
of
counsel,
more
Ellison,
I
I,
think
that
for
me,
I
was
not
on
the
I'm,
not
on
the
committee,
but
I
really
feel
like
this
is
budgeting
outside
the
budget
process.
It
is
something
that,
in
applying
for
the
grant
it
signs,
a
sobbing
commits
us
to
ten
new
officers.
These
aren't
something
we
can
just
say
we're
gonna
take
put
officers
in
different
areas.
F
This
clearly
states
by
the
grant
itself
that
has
to
go
over
and
be
new
officers
by
the
end
of
the
year
will
be
at
our
set
amount
that
its
councilmember
Ellison
says.
You
know
we
have
had
a
lot
of
public
discussion
about
and
to
have
this
go
through
outside
of
the
budget
process
outside
of
the
budget
time
outside
of
all
of
the
public
hearings
that
go
along
with
that,
I
feel
it's
a
wrong
precedent.
The
one
other
thing
I'd
like
to
add
I.
F
How
Public
Safety
looks
there's
a
lot
of
leeway
to
come
up
with
pilot
programs
to
come
up
with
other
ways
to
do
things,
but
what
we
keep
seeing
and
what
we
keep
hearing
is
only
about
the
budget.
That
is
the
one
thing
City
Council
can
say,
and
no
we're
not
hearing
reports
back
on
things
that
can
be
improved.
We're
not
hearing
reports
back
of
how
things
could
be
more
effect.
A
A
I
A
I
A
A
A
Motion
does
not
carry
but
again,
echoing
because
our
elsens
call
me
I
do
very
much
appreciate
our
Palmisano
is
transparency
and
communication.
With
this
and
I
know,
it
is
part
of
many
ongoing
discussions
within
the
Public
Safety
Committee
and
beyond,
so
that
will
stay
within
the
public
safety
and
emergency
management
committee.
I
know
that
terror,
cano
and
vice-chair
Fletcher
are
talking
with
staff
and
each
other
and
the
clerk's
about
the
procedures
for
the
next
steps
for
that,
but
essentially
just
stays
with
staff.
C
A
That
is
not
what
I
said,
but
I'm
happy
to
take.
The
motion.
A
A
C
You,
madam
chair,
if
I,
might
just
explain
myself
a
little
bit,
you
did
say
that
we
would
consider
this
in
Public,
Safety,
Committee,
I,
thought
I
heard
you
say
as
early
as
next
week
or
in
the
next
cycle.
I
would
like
just
to
ensure
that
we
are
going
to
do
that
and
have
something
to
come
back
to
the
next
regular
council
meeting,
with
with
a
recommendation
for
or
against
this
grant
application
and
not
leave
it.
Undue
numbers
of
cycles
in
committee.
A
Okay
and
and
maybe
just
to
clarify
that
the
grant
deadline
has
passed
as
of
today
as
of
Wednesday.
Today
it
has
passed
as
of
Wednesday.
This
is
no
longer
open,
so
I
I
knew
no
based
on
the
rules
that
we
passed
through
our
budget
committee
as
a
city
council
departments
are
required
to
get
approval
from
the
City
Council
prior
to
submitting
grant
applications
that
meet
a
number
of
criteria,
as
this
one
does,
because
it
requires
City
matching
funds
because
it
is
over
a
certain
dollar
amount,
so
I'm
not
I.
A
So
my
intended
comment
was
to
defer
the
next
steps
to
the
chair
of
the
committee
and
conversation
with
the
department.
I
believe.
The
intention
of
the
motion
at
committee
was
to
ask
the
department
to
fulfill
some
of
the
previous
staff
directions
related
to
this
budget
request,
and
so
I
mean
I'm
happy
to
defer
to
members
of
the
committee
and
I
see
kept
number
Ellison
in
queue.
G
I
just
wanted
to
say
that,
if
that,
if
in
committee
we
referred
this
back
to
staff
and
we
were
hoping
to
hear
back
from
staff,
some
updates
about
traffic
enforcement,
maybe
some
of
the
data
that
a
customer
Fletcher
has
been
has
been
mentioning
and
that
the
count
and
that
the
committee
this
seems
like
it
would
be
drastically
limiting
the
committee's
discretion,
which
is
what
the
committee
is
designed
to
do,
is
have
discretion
and
and
and
interact
with
staff.
And
so
and
so
the
so
I
do
find.
The
first
motion
I
fully
understood
both.
G
You
know
this
motion,
I,
don't
understand
as
much
and
so
I
think
that
if
it's
limiting
the
discretion
of
the
of
the
committee
to
sort
of
interact
with
staff
and
sort
of
signing
us
up
to
do
one
thing
then
I
feel
like
that's
not
something
that
I'm
gonna
be
able
to
support.
So
I
just
wanted
to
name
that
Thank.
E
H
You,
madam
chair
I,
am
using
a
different
laptop
today,
so
I
don't
have
access
to
that
little
system.
We
all
have
so
our
agenda,
of
course,
has
our
agenda
setting
meaning
has
already
happened.
I
apologize
to
my
colleagues
for
having
so
much
of
the
Public
Safety
work
happened
right
now
at
the
council
meeting.
H
That's
very
atypical
and
I
find
it
a
little
bit
disheartening
because
we
do
have
a
process
where
we
deal
with
these
matters
and
we
discuss
these
issues
and
for
now
the
agenda
is
set
already
for
next
week
and,
as
everybody
knows,
the
priority
is
our
emergency
response
to
the
Cova
19
crisis.
I
would
like
us
to
continue
to
stay
focused
on
that.
H
Of
course,
we
can
continue
to
discuss
this
and
I
and
I've
expressed
my
interest
in
continuing
to
have
conversations
with
the
mayor
with
Lynnae,
with
consumer
Palmisano
with
Councilman
or
Fletcher.
So
I
don't
think
conversations
here
are
shut
down,
it's
just
a
matter
of
process
and
time
and
procedure,
and
that
is
not
ripe
or
ready
for
next
week.
Thank.
A
This
is
for
millions
of
dollars
of
public
money
that
should
not
be
taking
place
by
any
department.
I
want
to
be
very
clear
that
that
would
apply
to
any
department
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis
and
I
would
be
extremely
concerned.
If
Department
started
submitting
grants
for
millions
of
dollars
of
matching
public
funds
or
in
violation
of
any
other
budget
rules
that
we
have
adopted
as
a
council,
so
I
will
follow
up
about
that.
Is
there
any
further
discussion
on
the
motion
before
us?
Seeing
none
clerk,
please
call
the
roll
council.
E
A
I
A
A
A
The
first
is
a
motion
before
you
to
receive
the
appointment
by
the
Minneapolis
Public
Housing
Authority,
Board
of
Commissioners
of
Abdul
or
Sami
as
executive
director
of
the
mPHA,
as
well
as
to
refer
that
nomination
to
the
Housing
Policy
&
Development
Committee,
for
further
consideration,
and
this
has
been
done
in
coordination
with
chair,
Gordon
and
others.
Members
of
the
committee,
as
much
as
I
was
able
to
catch
people
yesterday
afternoon
after
receiving
the
communication
from
mPHA
during
a
busy
day.
Is
there
any
discussion
on
this
motion?
A
Seeing
none
I
will
just
comment
briefly
at
part
of
my
discussion
with
chair
Gordon
about
adding
this
to
today's
agenda.
There
were
two
considerations
that
we
talked
about.
One
was
that,
as
I
mentioned
in
the
amendment
earlier,
the
interim
director
is
leaving
to
take
a
new
job
and
there
are
a
number
of
reasons
that
this
agency
is
hopeful,
that
they
can
have
their
new
director
in
place
in
time
to
have
a
smooth
transition.
A
This
is
a
one
of
the
other
areas
of
public
life
where
kovat
19
is
a
consideration
for
our
community
members
who
live
in
public
housing,
many
of
whom
are
seniors
and
I
know
customer
asami
and
his
role
as
council
member
is
already
engaging
on
that
issue,
as
well
as
a
number
of
budget
related
issues,
maintenance
issues,
so
we
wanted
to
be
supportive
of
the
agency
and
being
in
having
a
smooth
transition
of
leadership.
The
second
consideration
was
that
in
bringing
this,
for
today
is
amended.
A
Walk
on
item
was
that
there
have
been
a
lot
of
public
discussion
already.
You
know
in
the
media,
in
our
own
committee
meetings
at
the
mPHA,
they
had
a
public
hearing
there
as
the
board,
and
so
we
feel
comfortable
that
this
item
was
in
the
public
realm.
The
public
knowledge
for
a
significant
period
of
time
so
it'll
be
referred
to
the
HPD
committee
next
week
and
then
go
to
the
full
City
Council
meeting
on
Friday
for
consideration.
A
I
know
that
the
clerk's
office
has
been
working
on
the
issues
related
to
having
a
potential
absence
of
resignation
of
the
ward,
6
council
member,
and
so
we
will
I
think
work
with
councilor
Ellison
to
schedule
a
briefing
about
any
upcoming
election
or
other
things
related.
But
please
know
that
our
clicks
office
has
been
very
proactive
in
working
with
City
Enterprise,
with
talking
with
the
Secretary
of
State's
office
and
getting
ourselves
ready
for
a
potential
special
election.
So
make
those
comments?
A
A
So
there
will
either
be
a
press
that
the
governor's
office
and
the
State
Department
of
Health
will
be
making
an
announcement
early
this
afternoon,
sharing
some
more
health
guidance
from
the
Minnesota
Department
of
Health.
We
and
all
of
the
other
public
agencies
in
Minnesota
are
looking
to
mdh
for
their
expertise
and
guidance
on
preparations
related
to
community
health.
So
they'll
be
sharing
more
information
about
that
this
afternoon.
I
believe
the
city
will
then
also
have
a
separate
communication
opportunity
this
afternoon
for
us
to
share
more
about
our
own
preparations.
A
After
that,
more
health-focused
announcement
takes
place.
I
want
to
let
my
colleagues
know
reiterating
some
things
that
I
sent
in
an
email
yesterday
that
were
communicated
during
a
leadership
meeting
that
we
had.
First
of
all,
that
our
staff
have
been
having
very
frequent
phone
calls
and
meetings
as
department
heads
preparing
ourselves
as
a
workplace
to
make
sure
that
our
work
force
is
protected
and
healthy.
A
For
folks
there
are
health
advisories
for
those
over
the
age
of
60
or
with
pre-existing
conditions,
and
we
want
to
honor
people's
personal
choices
and
accommodate
folks
who
choose
or
cannot
attend
public
meetings,
and
so
all
of
that
work
is
underway.
There's
been
significant
preparation
to
support
our
own
work
force.
Reviewing
our
own
leave
policies
with
an
eye
toward
being
as
supportive
as
possible,
is
our
staff
dealing
with
health
directives
or
things
out
of
their
control
like
family
members.
A
So
in
the
spirit
of
all
the
work
that
we've
done
on
our
own
leave
policies,
those
discussions
are
happening
and
the
IT
department
is
working
hard
to
prepare
our
workforce
for
the
potential
of
working
from
home
departments
are
working
to
identify.
You
know
how
they
would
structure
staffing
in
the
event
of
changing
guidelines
around
our
workforce
or
decisions
that
the
city
would
make
around
our
own
workforce.
A
An
email
went
out
about
the
preparations
that
the
Building
Commission
is
making
for
our
own
workspaces
and
related
to
sanitizing
and
some
recommendations
for
us
and
our
staff
to
follow
as
well,
and
so
this
launch
and
then
I
do
also
want
to
say
that
we
have
the
closed
session
coming
up
specific
to
those
health
and
security
related
issues
and
questions
so
that
our
staff
can
share,
and
we
can
ask
questions.
The
public
health
committee
will
have
a
public
discussion
on
Monday.
The
Public
Safety
we'll
have
a
public
discussion
on
Wednesday.
A
So,
in
addition
to
internal
preparations
to
support
the
health
and
well-being
of
the
city,
Minneapolis
employees,
staff
and
all
city
departments
are
directed
to
take
steps
to
ensure
Minneapolis
residents
and
businesses
are
supported
during
any
economic
impacts
of
kovat
19.
The
City
Attorney's
Office
is
directed
to
investigate
the
city's
authority
to
take
actions
that
would
support
residents
and
businesses
through
any
economic
and
health
impacts
of
kovat
19
in
Minneapolis
and
coordination
with
the
city,
my
office
departments
and
external
partners.
A
So
this
was
intended
and
shared
with
department
heads
to
give
them
again
the
support
that
they
need
to
continue
with
work.
That's
already
happening.
Every
single
thing
on
this
list
is
happening
already
through
the
leadership
of
many
staff,
and
many
departments
I
really
want
to
come
in
them
for
their
compassionate
and
swift
response
to
thinking
about
those
folks
in
our
community
who
are
most
vulnerable,
who
may
be
affected
by
any
kind
of
economic
impacts,
we're
learning
from
other
cities.
A
So
thank
you
for
the
indulgence
of
a
lot
sharing
a
lot
of
information
again
look
forward
to
the
discussion
of
the
closed
session
as
well.
Is
there
any
further
discussion
on
this
staff
direction,
seeing
none
all
in
favor,
say:
aye
aye,
any
Postino
that
carries,
and
so
then
that
concludes
our
business.
We
have
the
order
of
announcements.
Are
there
any
announcements
for
council
members.
A
See
none
we've
concluded
all
of
our
business
from
the
council.
Today
we
do
have
a
motion
in
front
of
you
for
a
closed
session
related
to
the
secure
security
briefing
on
emergency
response
procedures
related
to
the
Cova
19
biros
and
I'll
entertain
a
motion
to
adjourn
to
three
9:30
room
315
for
that
closed
session.
We
do
not
take
public
testimony
at
our
meetings,
but
I'm
happy
to
talk
to
members
of
the
public
who
are
here
after
the
meeting.
Is
there
any
discussion?
Oh
I
see.
