The

of
a

with
the

reporting
of
cash
and
liquid
investments
in
order
to
meet
the
city's
financial
obligations
in
a
timely
and
cost-effective
manner.
B
It
will
also
be
a
key
resource
for
planning
and
administering
debt
instruments
to
finance
the
city's
capital

and
other
funding
priorities.
The

this

are
498.

criteria
put
forth
in

will
bring
light
functions
together
for
more
efficient
and
effective
service
delivery.
Specifically,

responsible
for
overseeing
the
department's
of

Eight
thousand.
E
Of
a
brief
PowerPoint
like
to
review
with
you
that
highlights
just
what
I
consider
to
be
a
very
exciting
new
position
within
the
city
that
I
think
will
bring
transformation
to
not
just
the
coordinator
departments
but,
more
importantly
externally,
for
our
residents
and
then
also
for
a
resource
of
our
other
Charter
departments,
as
well
as
the
City
Council.
The
new
structure,
as
Brenda
outlined,
is
fairly
simple,
which
is
to
have
for
current
coordinator
departments.
That
report
up
to
the
coordinator
directly
now
report
to
an
engagement
deputy.
E
There
is
a
fifth
area
which
is
in
the
budget
in
December
of
2019,
were
new
positions
for
the
public
service
area
in
the
new
building,
and
those
new
positions
would
report
up
through
this
position
as
well.
We
will
determine
whether
those
are
brought
into
one
of
those
departments.
That
would
be
a
more
likely
scenario,
but
right
now,
I
just
want
to
say
that
engagement
generally
includes
not
only
these
traditional
departments,
but
this
this
very
exciting
part
of
the
new
building
in
terms
of
enhancing
our
services
to
residents.
E
This
position
lacking
in
resources
and
direction
at
times,
and
that's
not
a
criticism
of
the
more
immediate
predecessors
in
the
coordinators
position
as
much
as
it
is
just
a
general
expectation,
growth
within
the
enterprise
as
a
whole,
and
also
the
fact
that
the
world
is
changing,
and
particularly
around
communication
technology
and
communication.
As
you
all
aware
how
people
want
to
be
engaged,
I
think
the
the
expectation
is
that
we
are
not
at
a
steady
state
and
that
will
continue
to
change.
E
So
what
that
says
is
we
need
somebody
who
full-time
pays
attention
to
engagement
strategy
for
the
enterprise
as
a
whole.
I
would
also
say
that
there
is
inconsistency
just
by
the
nature
of
projects
and
when
I
say
talk
about
projects,
it
could
be
see
pet
development
project,
a
public
work
street
project
there's
some
inconsistency
in
lack
of
again
resources
for
departments
that
gives
a
best
practices
to.
How
do
we
engage
residents
when
we
undertake
these
more
regular
types
of
projects
within
a
city,
and
so
there
is
depending
on
who
the
project
manager
is.
E
And
lastly,
certainly
you
as
elected
officials
and
your
staff,
I
think
with
this
position
will
be
able
to
better
alert
constituents
better,
be
able
to
react
to
questions
that
arise
and
have
more
options
forward.
Engagement
through
this
position,
I
don't
want
to
be
over
promising
what
this
new
person
is
going
to
be
doing,
but
clearly
there
are
those
areas
which
again,
as
I,
serve
as
a
resource
which
are
other
departments,
elected
officials
and
the
residents
themselves.
E
What
is
it
about
now
that
would
bring
about
the
need
for
this
change
and
I.
Think
I
just
listed
some
of
the
activities,
and
that's
probably
a
word-
that's
not
big
enough
for
what's
going
on
in
the
city
right
now,
but
there
are
a
number
of
initiatives
within
the
city
which
are
going
to
accelerate
the
pace
of
engagement.
Clearly,
the
website
I
think,
is
a
major
change
for
the
enterprise
and
it's
gonna
it's,
but
it's
a
tool
and
how
we
use
that
tool
is.
It's
only
gonna
be
effective
by
careful
guidance
right
now.
E
There
is
a
staff
Direction
around
engagement,
there's
a
consultant.
That's
been
hired
and
working
with
NCR
and
the
coordinate
office
around
inventory.
How
we
engage,
how
do
you
define
engagement
within
the
within
the
city
right
now?
Clearly,
the
neighborhoods
2020
and
the
community
connections
conference
coming
up
in
Saturday
is
going
to
be
a
big
discussion
around
engagement.
If
you
read
the
communications
audit
that
was
done
recently
by
padilha,
there
was
not
some.
E
There
was
not
good
news
for
the
enterprise
in
some
ways
in
terms
of
populations
of
our
residents,
don't
feel
engaged
by
the
by
us
as
an
enterprise
right
now,
and
so
what
are
ways
that
we
can
better
reach
people
for
the
things
that
they
need.
I
would
also
say
in
in
the
enterprise.
There
is
a
variety
of
growth
of
in
communications
and
engagement
staff
within
each
department
and
again,
how
do
we
bring
best
practices
to
those
folks
as
they
work
with
their
own
individual
departments,
to
tailor
the
engagement
strategy?
E
We
mentioned
the
new
public
service
building
and
then
certainly
the
Minneapolis
2040
plans.
So
this
is
not
a
new
concept
in
terms
of
these
departments
working
together.
In
fact,
that's
this
is
not
a
forced
marriage.
This
is
drawn
out
of
work
that
is
already
happening
between
NCR
communications
3-1-1.
They
work
together
on
a
regular
basis.
This
is
just
bringing
intentionality
to
those
efforts.
Certainly,
other
parts
of
the
enterprise
will
clearly
be
involved.
What
the
clerk's
office
does
an
engagement
is
very
important.
E
The
work
that's
going
on
around
the
the
census
right
now
with
NCR
and
a
variety
of
departments,
is
another
example
of
of
work,
that's
being
done
in
partnership
again.
This
just
brings
more
intentionality
and
leadership
to
that
those
efforts
and
why
can't
we
do
this
within
the
existing
structure?
I
think
it's
always
important
to
ask.
As
elected
officials,
you
challenge
us
to
say
why
you
always
have
to
create
just
another
FTE
to
accomplish
something
right
and
so
I
feel
like
it's
important
to
answer
that
very
direct
question.
E
E
To
that
question
and
I
think,
just
generally,
we
departments
themselves
would
say
that
right
now
there
is
an
isolation,
pockets
of
engagement
and
I
think
often
times
we
get
questions
from
departments
about
how
can
I
better
do
this
and
clearly,
our
communications
department
is
very
good
about
putting
together
communications
plans,
but
communications
always
isn't
always
in
to
full
engagement
process.
And
so
what
happens
then?
Is
you
know
these
internal
departments,
as
well
as
the
Charter
departments?
E
Oftentimes,
will
not
have
a
best
practices
methodology
that
they
can
turn
to
and
the
resources
to
be
able
to
say
within
a
week
or
two
or
three,
how
am
I
going
to
undertake
an
engagement
process
for
whether
it's
a
two
week
project
or
a
two
year
project?
So
those
are
the
rationale
as
to
why
I
don't
see
the
ability
to
work
within
it.
The
current
structure
we
certainly
can
get
by,
but
this
is
too
important
of
an
effort.
E
I
think
you've
all
made
this
a
very
important
effort
over
your
directions,
as
elected
officials
who
are
budgetary
and
staff
directions
coming
from
all
of
your
offices,
not
to
at
least
bring
this
effort
forward
and
certainly
wouldn't
happy
to
answer
any
questions
or
we're
certainly
willing
to
listen
to
other
options
that
we
should
pursue
before.
Moving
forward
with
this.
C
Thank
you
and
I
think
this
sum
makes
a
good
deal
of
sense.
The
one
question
that
I
have
and
if
you
asked
when
we
talked
to,
was
why
don't
we
wait
and
do
this
until
after
there's
a
new
city
coordinator
that
comes
on
board
because
there's
a
concern
that
they'll
be
more
restructuring
that
they
want
to
do,
but
I
also
understand
that
there's
a
desire
to
kind
of
get
things
set
so
that
we
line
things
up
for
success
for
a
new
person
when
they
come
in
so
I.
C
Think
that
makes
a
lot
of
sense
and
I.
Think
we
want
to
think
this
shows
is
how
we,
as
a
council
on
policymakers,
have
been
putting
more
into
the
city
coordinators
office
than
was
there
before
it's
been
a
lot
smaller
and,
as
we've
come
up
with
new
ideas
and
new
things,
so
we
think
that's
where
it
belongs.
It's
gone.
There
I'm
actually
excited
about
focusing
more
on
engagement,
participating
in
the
neighborhoods
2020
effort.
One
of
the
things
that
kept
coming
up
was
well.
C
C
But
we
could
use
a
little
more
work
to
raise
up
some
of
the
information
to
better
inform,
maybe
the
policies
and
decisions
that
we
make
it
a
higher
level.
So
it'll
be
interesting
to
see
how
this
goes
and
mike
is
the
idea
that
we'd
have
somebody
hired
in
this
position
before
the
new
city
coordinator
or
is
to
something
that
will
I.
Think
I
know
the
answer
to
this,
but
I
just
declared
fire
or
something
that
we
will
wait
and
allow
the
new
individual
to
make
this
hire.
E
Mr.
mayor
comes
to
my
recording
to
your
points.
We
would
wait
to
hire
the
long-term
engagement
position
until
after
a
state
coordinator
is
named,
so
that
person
who
is
the
city
coordinator,
can
choose
their
team
in
the
interim,
may,
appoint
someone
to
start
this
process
and
help
bring
this
this
work
together
and
likely.
It
would
be
one
of
the
department
heads
with
him
that
group,
so
not
somebody
from
the
outside,
but
just
too
instead
of
just
create
it
and
then
not
have
any
momentum
moving
into
the
next
stage.
C
A
E
E
D
You
news
ring
I
just
wanted
to
say:
I
think
this
is
not
really
a
good
change
and
I'm
very
supportive
I
think
this
has
come
up.
This
kind
of
overall
theme
that
mr.
ruff
was
discussing
specific
to
this
position
has
come
up
a
lot
over
the
recent
years,
especially
as
we
look
at
the
role
of
neighborhood
organizations
in
our
community
engagement,
but
also
as
we
take
on
the
communications,
audit
and
potential
recommendations
coming
forward
and
changes
related
to
communications.
D
So
I
think
it's
really
good
to
start
to
look
at
this
more
holistically
in
a
more
integrated
way.
So
we
understand
how
our
city
departments
are
doing
engagement,
how
the
communications
and
NCR
departments
fit
into
that
how
community
organizations,
including
our
neighborhood
organizations,
fit
in
or
expected
to
fit
in
so
I
think
this
is
a
great
change
and
really
underscores
our
commitment
to
doing
a
better
job
of
engaging
our
community
I.
D
A
Also
agree:
this
is
a
smart
administrative
move.
I
think
this
is
a
more
strategic
reporting
structure
and,
as
mr.
ruff
stated,
this
is
not
a
forced
marriage.
This
is
a
marriage
of
love
and
romance
so
I'll
go
ahead
and
move
this
action
forward.
Any
further
discussion,
all
those
in
favor
say
aye
aye,
all
those
opposed
say.
No.
That
item
passes.
A
The
next
item
is
number
four:
it's
a
civil
service
commission
appointment,
considering
my
nomination
to
reappoint
Macy
wheeler
seat
three
for
a
three-year
term,
beginning
March,
1st
2020
and
ending
February
28th
2023
I
will
go
ahead
and
move
this
appointment
forward.
Any
discussion
seeing
none
all
those
in
favor
say:
aye
aye.
All
those
opposed
saying.
No,
that
item
passes
item
number
five.
A
Is
the
reappointment
of
the
director
of
Emergency
Management,
considering
my
nomination
to
reappoint
Barrett
Lane
to
the
appointed
position
of
Director
of
Emergency
Management
for
a
two-year
term,
beginning
January,
2nd
2020
in
referring
the
appointment
to
the
City
Council
for
the
setting
of
a
public
hearing.
I
will
move
this
item
forward.
Any
discussion
on
mr.
Barrett
lanes.
Appointment
reappointed
I've
seen
none
all
those
in
favor,
say
aye
aye,
all
those
opposed
say.
No.
That
item
passes
the.
A
Final
item
on
our
open
agenda
is
the
reemployment
of
the
City
Assessor,
considering
the
nomination
to
reappoint
Patrick
Todd

the
appointed
position
of
the
City
Assessor
for
two-year
term
and
referring

none
all
