G
You,
madam
president,
thank
you
so
much
for
your
partnership
on
everything
from
health
regulations
to
homelessness
is
greatly
appreciated
and
council
members.
Thank
you
so
much
for
the
ongoing
collaboration.
It
means
so
much
during
this
crisis
and
I
I
miss
hanging
with
all
of
you.
I
really
do
so.
It
is
yet
another
Friday,
and
we
have
some
remarks
to
give
with
respect
to
the
the
state
of
our
city.
During
kovin
19,
we
have
still
11
emergency
regulations
to
date
that
have
been
passed
through
the
health
report
by
the
numbers,
as
of
4:00
p.m.
May.
G
Seventh
shows
a
total
approximate
number
of
completed
tests
at
97
thousand
four
hundred
and
twenty
one
that's
up
27,000
from
last
week,
and
the
number
of
daily
tests
continues
to
increase
pretty
substantially,
as
we
continue
to
work
our
way
up
towards
the
the
goal
that
Mayo
Clinic
and
the
University
of
Minnesota
has
had
of
20,000
per
day.
As
we.
H
G
Testing
capacity
is
going
to
be
critical
as
we
determine
how
and
when
to
open
total
positive
cases
in
Minnesota
our
9360
5,
which
is
up
over
4,000
from
last
week.
Last
week
we
were,
we
were
up
roughly
2,000,
so
the
number
of
cases
is
increasing,
obviously,
but
also
the
number
number
of
increases
is
also
increasing.
Patients
who
no
longer
need
to
be
isolated
is
at
5308.
G
That's
up.
3,000
from
last
week,
fatalities
total
508,
which
is
up
150
from
last
week,
and
deaths
among
cases
that
resided
in
long-term
care
or
assisted
living
in
the
facilities
are
407.
So
still
a
very
strong
majority,
Hennepin
County
positive
cases
are
2960.
That's
up.
1200
from
last
week,
deaths
in
Hennepin
County
are
342
in
the
number
of
positive
cases
with
our
health
care,
workers
is
1205,
Minneapolis
case
information.
G
G
As
far
as
hospitalization
goes,
the
total
cases
requiring
hospitalization
was
1459,
which
is
up
400
from
last
and
there's
435
that
are
hospitalized.
As
of
today
and
182
in
the
ICU
unit,
ICU
today,
which
is
up
about
50,
this
week's
graph
shows
more
of
an
equalization
among
black
white
and
unknown
I,
say
equalization
intentional,
is
that
it
is
not
necessarily
equitable.
G
C
C
G
G
Moving
forward
to
the
Health
Department
numbers
and
first
congregate
care
facilities
following
the
latest
emergency
regulation,
outreach
to
congregate,
health
care
facilities
continues
with
the
Health
Department
and
they
are
providing
ongoing
support
and
mitigation
efforts
around
staffing,
PPE
and
sanitation
supplies
and
general
public
health
guidance
as
well
for
contact
tracing.
Until
this
week,
mdh
has
been
doing
contact
tracing,
but
now
our
health
department
will
undertake
case
investigations
and
contact
follow-up
for
individuals
diagnosed
with
with
kovat
19
with
contact
tracing.
G
You
know
the
the
national
criteria
that
the
national
goal
is
generally
that
for
every
person
that
tests
positive,
you
need
to
find
at
least
10
additional
people
to
test
to
see
who
they've
come
in
contact
with
and
whether
those
individuals
have
contracted
the
virus.
There's
not
a
single
state.
That's
up
to
that.
That
goal
as
of
right
now
and
obviously
contact
tracing
and
testing
and
enough
to
self
will
help
us
a
whole
lot
in
determining
how
to
proceed.
G
G
I
appreciate
their
work,
I
appreciate
the
fact
they're
willing
to
step
into
something
that
they
didn't
anticipate
from
day
one
when
they
entered
City
Hall
or
entered
whatever
wherever
their
location
of
work
is.
But
this
is
necessary
right
now
to
remain
flexible
as
an
enterprise,
and
we
really
appreciate
our
staff
that
are
willing
to
real.
F
I
I
Well,
we
still
have
a
large
number
of
unknown
cases
that
30%
of
the
cases
being
black
folks
in
Minneapolis
I
think
is
something
that's
also
noteworthy,
because
that
is
a
disproportionate
representation
in
comparison
to
the
rest
of
the
city,
and
so-
and
this
is
what
we're
seeing
across
the
country
in
major
cities,
and
so
it's
worth
pointing
that
out,
as
the
I
mean,
we've
watched
it
pretty
much
double
in
about
a
week
or
so,
with
black
black
folks
being
identified
as
cases
and
so
I.
Just
think.
I
G
Thank
You
councilmember,
as
you
correctly
pointed
out,
the
jump
in
just
the
last
week
has
been
pretty
substantial
and
there
are
many
reasons
for
that
and
was
we've
seen
that
this
proportionate
impacts
in
other
cities.
I
wanted
to
to
just
call
on
commissioner
music
and
to
see
if
she
can
provide
some
additional
information
regarding.
J
Thank
You
mayor
members
of
the
council,
yeah
I,
wanted
to
talk
just
a
second
about
the
the
unknown,
and
that
is
us
not
a
static
number.
The
the
State
Health
Department
is
responding
to
an
interest
in
seeing
data
right
away,
and
so
they
are
releasing
information
every
day.
Sometimes
they
are
just
in
the
middle
of
trying
to
contact
people
who
have
had
a
positive
test
and
so
have
not
been
able
to
speak
with
them
at
all,
and
so
really
because
the
laboratories
that
are
doing
the
testing
are
not
usually
coding
for
race.
J
It
isn't
until
the
contact
tracing
begins.
So
we
we
will
see
that
number
of
unknown
fluctuate
and
it's
not
static.
It
doesn't
mean
that
forevermore,
those
cases
are
unknown.
They
will
probably
become
a
good
portion,
though
become
known.
We
are
also
working
with
the
State
Health
Department
to
disaggregate
the
black
category,
so
that
we
can
see
African,
American
and
East
African
as
two
distinct
populations.
J
Within
that
number,
we
have
an
agreement
from
them
that
they
are
going
to
go
back
and
look
at
their
past
cases,
so
we
can
better
understand
that
going
backwards
and
ask
proactively
more
questions
as
part
of
contact
tracing.
So
we
can
better
understand
that
number
going
forward
and
I
think
that
will
be
helpful
as
we
continue
to
tailor
our
community
specific
response.
B
That
knows
our
community
that
can
flag
and
highlight
some
of
those
specific
local
concerns
in
our
specific
populations,
especially
in
our
cultural
communities,
where
the
Health
Department
has
deep
relationships,
but
we
don't
have
the
capacity
as
a
city
alone
to
fully
respond
to
the
needs
of
our
populations.
So
as
testing
increases.
B
B
So
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
that
I'm
super
thankful
to
the
public
health
department
for
all
of
their
work
and
that
local
knowledge
and
expertise
that
they
bring
and
to
my
colleagues
for
raising
these
questions
and
issues
that
are
unique
in
some
ways
to
our
populations.
But
I
also
know
that
across
the
state
we
have
diverse
populations
and
that
local
governments
in
smaller
communities
than
ours
will
also
be
grappling
with
some
of
these
same
questions
and
issues
as
they
start
to
see
different
effects
in
their
populations.
G
The
next
topic
for
our
slide,
presenters
is
Mental
Health
Month,
so
may
is
mental
health
month
and
a
mayoral
Proclamation
has
been
signed
to
draw
two
attention
to
mental
health
well-being
during
coded
nineteen
pandemic
and
as
people
are,
are
increasingly
isolated
and
an
unable
to
connect
with
their
families
and
communities
around
that
a
mental
health
is
going
to
become
all
the
more
important
right
now
and
so
big.
Thank
you
to
our
mental
health
providers
that
are
stepping
up
to
the
task.
G
G
Next
mask
drive
and
distribution.
As
you
know,
last
week
I
reported
a
total
of
6,000
144
cloth
masks
were
donated
to
the
city
as
part
of
governor
walls
is
called
action
on
April
25th
and
as
of
May
6th
83
organizations
have
submitted
requests
for
the
donated
masks.
An
initial
round
of
37
establishments,
including
food
shelves,
community
clinics,
farmers,
markets,
cultural
nonprofit
organizations,
small
businesses,
daycares
and
low-income
high-rise
residence
will
receive
their
requested
allocations,
starting
on
May,
7th
and
8th
via
delivery
and
curbside.
G
Pickup
and
mdh
continues
to
perform
outreach
and
long-term
care
and
congregate
living
facilities
to
identify
residents
that
also
need
cloth,
masks,
PP
and
other
hygiene
supplies
for
the
slides
I'm.
Now,
moving
on
to
office,
&,
Emergency,
Management
and
workforce
there
you
go.
The
city's
workforce
continues
to
maintain
normal
work
for
strength
and
essential,
essential
functions
of
government.
G
The
daily
rate
of
workers
on
duty
is
consistently
between
89
and
91
percent
of
the
total
workforce,
which
is
exactly
what
it's
been
for
the
last
several
weeks.
Approximately
79
percent
of
workers
on
duty
are
working
remotely
excluding
police
and
fire,
and
OMS
efforts
remain
focused
on
the
situational
awareness
of
trends,
impacts,
offering
guidance
and
support
across
the
enterprise.
G
Next
topic
is
procurement.
The
total
spend
as
of
May
6th
2020,
was
four
million.
Seven
hundred
seventy
seven
thousand
eight
hundred
sixty
eight
and
I
want
to
make
very
clear
that
this
does
not
include
the
work
of
our
staff
that
have,
in
many
many
cases
entirely
transitioned
to
dealing
with
kovat
19
response.
If
you
were
to
take
him
to
account
that
figure,
it
would
be
many
many
many
times
that
which
we've
spent
in
terms
of
procurement,
the
total
increased,
the
total
spend
was
four
four
million.
F
G
Next
is
budget.
We
are
in
the
process
of
preparing
dual
processes
for
budgets
as
amended
2020
budget
in
June,
and
then
at
2021
budget
presentation
to
Council
in
August.
As
the
state's
revenue
forecasts
reflected
this
week,
we'll
see
significant
revenue
shortfalls
and
that
number
is
upwards
of
200
million.
F
You
Madame
president
and
things
so
is
this
week
to
mr.
mayor
for
all
the
work
you're
doing
and
all
the
staff
throughout
the
city
we
miss
hanging
out
too
I
mean
I.
Do
it
just
a
kind
of
a
question
back
a
couple
slides
just
on
the
the
need,
the
need
for
PPE?
That's
great
news
about
the
just
kind
of
the
clots
mass
drives
and
how
they're
going,
but
it
would
be
helpful
to
know
kind
of
how
were
how
close
we're
getting
to
meeting
that
need
and
how
that
kind
of
need
changes.
G
That
is
an
excellent
question
that
I
do
not
know
the
answer
to
offhand,
but
if
Barrett
Lane
is
is
on
the
call,
perhaps
he
can
give
us
a
rundown
for
some
of
the
needs
that
we're
seeing
both
internally
in
the
enterprise
as
well
as
citywide
I
know,
we've
got
our
enterprise
needs
covered,
but
I'm
sure
I'm.
Certain.
There
are
issues
where
we
have
not
been
able
to
cover
more
problem.
K
F
K
Thank
You
councilmember
mr.
mayor
council
president.
We
actually
are
in
good
shape
with
respect
to
internal
PPE
supplies.
We've
been
able
to
both
provide
support
to
the
community
with
respect
to
pre
personal
protective
equipment,
particularly
masks,
surgical
masks
and
they're
95s,
as
well
as
maintained,
supply
that
sufficient
to
cover
a
first
responder
needs.
So
our
internal
PPE
needs
are
reasonably
stable
and
they'll
be
stable
for
the
near
the
near
future.
Our
project
right
now
is
to
make
sure
that
cash
is
able
to
sustain
operations.
K
J
Yes,
thank
you
I'm,
trying
to
think
of
a
title
for
you
very
direct
er,
yes
late.
Thank
you.
Yes,
we
continue
to
collect
needs
from
the
community.
We
have
a
forum
where
we're
hearing
about
those
we're
also
looking
for
other
sources
for
personal
protective
equipment
that
aren't
necessarily
just
through
the
budget
process,
we're
just
informed
by
the
CDC
foundation
that
they
have
several
pallets
of
hand
sanitizer
in
the
in
the
personal
use
size,
and
so
we
have
told
them.
J
Yes,
we'll
take
those
and
we
plan
to
distribute
those
to
community
organizations
and
others
we've
heard
from
who
who
are
needing
that.
So
it's
not
only
a
need
that
we're
trying
to
meet
through
our
through
our
but
through
our
spending
and
our
procurement,
but
we're
also
trying
to
be
matchmakers
between
resources
that
we
learn
about
and
the
needs
in
the
community.
But
it
isn't
anywhere
where
we
say
we're
done
with
that
now,
because
much
of
this
equipment
continues
to
be
used
and
need
to
be
refurbished
and
resupply.
C
My
question
is
also
related
to
a
couple
of
slides
back
in
the
facemask
drive
and
distribution,
and
really
just
trying
to
figure
out
is
the
and
and
maybe
Commissioner
musekamp
or
director.
Lane
might
be
able
to
answer
this
too,
but
is
the
only
way
that
we're
getting
things
out
PPE
out
to
communities
is
through
this
forum
I'm
just
concerned
that
I
haven't
seen
any
mass
drives
giveaways
PPE,
anything
in
south
Minneapolis
and
I'm,
not
sure.
J
Thank
You,
mayor
and
council
vice
president
Jenkins.
Yes,
we
have
a
whole
branch
in
our
response:
team
community
engagement
and
we
are
leaning
in.
We
are
not
just
passive
recipients
of
requests,
and
so
we
are
connecting
with
organizations
especially
prioritized
by
the
governor,
but
but
others
as
well
to
make
sure
that
they
they
have
supplies
and
that
they
know
about
the
process
of
letting
us
know
about
their
needs.
I
will
share
your
concern
with
that
team
and
make
sure
that
we
are
leaning
into
your
community
as
well.
G
You
next
topic
is
Public
Safety,
we've
seen
30
gun
recoveries.
This
week,
citywide
year-to-date
369
guns
have
been
recovered,
which
is
40%,
increase,
very
substantial
from
the
same
time
in
2019,
which
had
264
guns
recovered
and
that
you're
actually
also
had
a
relatively
higher
gun
recovery
rate.
This
week
there
have
been
43
aggravated
assaults,
14
of
which
are
domestic
assaults.
Domestic
assaults
are
up
17%
week
to
date
and
down
13
percent
year-to-date
citywide
I'll
note
that
half
of
the
domestic
of
the
domestic
assaults
were
in
the
fourth
Precinct
enforcement
of
the
governor's
ordered
to
date.
G
Mpd
has
not
issued
any
citations
or
arrests.
Traffic
control
continues
to
provide
an
active
presence
in
promoting
physical
distancing
around
small
parks
and
school
playgrounds,
and
we've
been
in
constant
communication
with
our
park
board
superintendent
president.
Vice
president
around
these
issues
from
April
29th
and
May
5th,
there
were
11
complaints
at
six
locations
for
lack
of
difficult
physical
distancing
Matthews
at
Stewart
Park
had
multiple
complaints.
During
the
last
seven
days.
We
expect
an
increase
in
complaints,
especially
as
the
weather
gets
nicer
and
people
are
feeling
the
urge
to
be
outside
for
fire.
G
This
is
about
the
2020
EMS
Academy,
the
the
2020
EMS
Academy
has
been
postponed
as
of
right
now,
because
Hennepin
County
did
not
feel
that
they
could
facilitate
the
in
classroom
instruction
at
this
time.
Due
to
the
Cova
19
crisis.
We
are
still
working
through
this
one
right
now,
as
we
know
that
EMS
are
incredibly
critical
during
this
period
we
do
hope
to
resume
and
as
quickly
as
possible,
and
certainly
in
the
fall
of
2020.
G
G
Next
is
state
and
federal
activity
on
Tuesday
Minnesota,
Management
and
Budget
Commissioner
Myron
Frans
released
an
interim
budget
projection
due
to
the
economics
impacts
by
kovat.
19
and
MMB
officials
are
projecting
a
two
point:
four
three
billion
dollar
deficit
for
the
remainder
of
the
current
biennium,
which
ends
on
June
30th
2021.
This
is
a
four
billion
dollar
swing
from
just
ten
weeks
ago.
That
shows
how
quickly
things
are
changing
from
a
fiscal
standpoint
in
the
face
of
kovat
19.
G
G
G
Late
Monday
evening,
the
US
Treasury
released
updated
guidance
for
the
Cova
to
relief
fund
dollars.
That
makes
the
use
is
more
flexible,
especially
for
reimbursements
related
to
first
responders,
and
these
factors
make
the
advocacy
work
at
the
state
level
for
the
distribution
of
these
critical
cities
and
counties
even
more
important
for
homelessness.
G
You
know
and
I'm
going
to
pause
briefly
just
to
call
on
Jean
really
quick,
just
to
clarify
what
I
previously
said,
because
I
contradicted
myself
slightly
the
decision
as
to
whether
the
governor
or
the
legislature
is
dispersing
the
cares
act.
Funds
I
know
has
bills
presently
in
the
Senate
that
will
be
heard
today,
and
so,
but
I
don't
know
that
it's
necessarily
the
entirety
of
the
cares
Act
funding
that
will
be
decided
by
the
legislature
themselves.
D
Cynthia
bowerly
from
the
Department
of
Revenue
has
been
asked
to
lead.
The
administration's
team
could
meet
it
to
meet
with
the
legislators.
She
also
has
some
folks
from
MMB
who
will
be
a
company
car.
There
was
a
bill
this
morning
in
the
Finance
Committee
in
the
Senate
that
basically
transferred
all
the
general
fund
money
that
was
set
aside
several
weeks
about
a
month
ago
for
State
State
dollars
to
be
used
for
covert
release.
D
All
that
money
was
taken
out
of
that
Sun
put
back
into
the
general
fund
and
was
back
filled
with
covert
relief
funds,
the
1.2
billion
s
available
to
the
state
on
Monday
there's
discussions
and
the
Finance
Committee
again
in
the
Senate
to
discuss
best
ways
to
get
funds
from
the
covert
release
on
to
state
and
local
governments.
Senator
Rosen,
chair
of
the
committee,
has
a
bill
that
would
get
money
out
to
every
city
and
county
in
the
state
based
on
a
formula
per
capita
formula.
There'll
be
a
lot
of
discussion
about
that.
D
There's
some
concern
that
shouldn't
there
be
money
more
targets.
The
cities
were
half
cities
and
counties
where
there
are
serious
issues
with
Kobe
right
now,
so
this
will
be
an
issue
it
will
taking
up
most
of
our
time
in
the
next
couple
days
and
we
will
be
meeting
with
our
delegation.
I
typically
have
a
meeting,
hopefully
tentatively
scheduled
for
Monday
morning
and
I'll
stand
for
any
questions.
B
Thank
You
mr.
veneering
I
think
just
a
quick
comment
from
me
on
this,
which
is
alluding
back
to
the
earlier
discussion.
I,
think
some
of
the
discussion
about
budget
is
also
about
how
the
responsibilities
are
breaking
down
between
local.
You
know,
city
or
town
governments
versus
county
governments
versus
state
governments,
and
so
the
questions
about
budget
I
think
are
tied
to
the
questions
about
who's,
providing
which
services
and
filling
which
kovat
specific
health
needs
or
housing
needs.
B
D
G
Thank
you,
and
you
know
this
is
arguably
going
to
be
the
most
important
issue
that
is
moving
through
the
legislature
in
the
next
nine
or
so
days.
You
know,
I
know
that
I
and
many
others
have
been
in
constant
contact
with
our
delegation
here
in
the
city
as
well
as
representatives
statewide
I've
got
a
phone
call
coming
up
with
Commissioner
Byerly
as
well.
Today
we
want
to
make
sure
that
you
know
the
city
is
handling
so
much
of
these
frontline
issues.
G
Protecting
individuals
experiencing
unsheltered
homelessness
continues
to
present
an
extremely
difficult
challenge
during
kovat
19
crisis
homelessness
was
a
crisis
prior
to
this
pandemic
and
has
been
exacerbated
since
the
pandemic
began,
and
so
we've
been
working
very
closely
with
our
state
and
regional
partners
to
balance
the
realities
inherent
in
our
housing
crisis
and
the
public
needs
of
the
moment.
Yesterday,
the
council,
president
and
I
spoke
with
the
governor
and
lieutenant
governor,
along
with
with
leadership
from
several
from
the
Hart
counties,
st.
G
Paul,
Hennepin
and
Ramsey,
and
we
discussed
the
support
we
need
in
dealing
with
encampment
setting
up
appropriate
isolation
options
and
the
staffing
necessary
to
support
that
work.
That
collaboration
it
continues
in
and
and
is
strong,
so
both
in
the
short
term
and
longer
term,
will
really
continue
to
prioritize
the
health,
safety
and
dignity
of
individuals
experiencing
homelessness,
end
on
shelter,
homelessness,
while
being
responsive
to
the
needs
of
our
larger
communities
and
putting
public
health
really
at
the
forefront
of
our
decisions.
G
Next
topic
is
elections.
The
Secretary
of
State's
online
absentee
ballot
request
order,
will
open
next
Wednesday,
May,
13
and
voters
can
use
the
website
to
request
a
vote
by
mail
ballot
for
both
the
August
primary
and
the
November
general
elections,
and
we
strongly
encourage
voters
to
take
advantage
of
this
options
and
to
go
ahead
and
submit
requests
to
get
a
vote
by
mail
ballot
for
both
elections.
Next
Wednesday
so
take
the
precaution
to
make
the
request.
G
The
sea's
election
team
have
posted
a
series
of
frequently
asked
questions
with
answers
about
the
upcoming
elections,
as
well
as
information
about
how
to
vote
that
evoke
safely.
Whether
voters
choose
to
vote
by
mail
or
the
in-person
option
for
gap
funding
starting
next
week.
Housing
applicants
will
be
referred
to
either
mPHA
or
the
community
prevention
partners
on
a
rolling
basis
per
their
number
on
the
on
the
randomize
list.
Mpha
and
CPP's
will
complete
full
eligibility
and
verification
reviews
for
each
referred
applicant
for
emergency
housing
assistance.
F
G
Catholic
Charities
will
issue
checks
on
behalf
of
the
program
for
approved
applicants
on
the
weekly
basis
and
then
for
stable
homes.
Emergency
expansion
and
PHA
will
issue
checks.
Thorpe
you
approved
applicants
for
small
businesses,
the
first
50
for
businesses
have
been
notified
and
their
loans
were
sent
to
services.
G
G
As
we
cut,
we
recover
and
we
rebuild
and
importantly
in
in
securing
testing
in
detecting
where
this
virus
is
spreading
and
in
continuing
to
stay
at
home
in
some
form,
we
are
not
preventing
or
reducing
the
ultimate
number
of
people
that
contract
covet
19.
Rather,
we
are
reducing
the
number
of
people
that
contract
covet
19
all
at
once
that
to
the
point
where
it
would
overrun
our
our
health
system.
G
B
You
mr.
Maynard,
just
one
quick
comment
on
this
last
point:
I
just
want
my
colleagues
in
the
public
to
know
how
important
and
focused
we
are
on
the
topic
of
protecting
workers
through
that
process,
both
our
own
workers,
who
are
part
of
the
city
enterprise,
as
well
as
workers
throughout
our
city,
and
as
so
as
we
talk
about
supporting
businesses
and
getting
back
to
economic
activity.
B
We
are
also
have
a
staff
team
working
on
ensuring
that
we
are
doing
everything
in
our
power
as
a
city,
both
as
an
employer
and
as
a
an
advisor
as
a
regulator
to
make
sure
that
workers
are
safe
in
their
workplace.
So
you
know
I
think,
there's
still
a
lot
of
details
to
be
worked
out
around
that.
As
we
look
at
what
the
federal
and
state
governments
might
be
doing
around
worker
protections
and
any
gaps
we
we
may
need
to
fill
at
the
local
level.
B
E
Thank
You
council
president
and
Thank
You
mayor
mayor
I,
wonder
if
you
could
elaborate
a
little
bit
on
what
progress
we're
making
on
identifying
shelter
beds,
whether
that
be
ourselves
or
through
our
partners
with
the
county
and
the
state.
I
I
know
that
there
is
a
you
know,
a
significant
need
and
a
lot
of
people
are
observing
that
the
hotel
arrangements
that
have
been
made
have
been
very
effective
and
and
helpful
to
the
people.
E
G
Thank
You
councilmember
Fletcher,
we
are,
are
looking
at
a
sort
of
dual
process
right
now
and
all
of
this
work
happens
in
conjunction
with
the
county.
As
you
know,
traditionally
speaking,
Hennepin
manages
our
our
homeless
shelter
system
and
that
is
a
system
we're
looking
to
expand
and
an
alter
to
better
adapt
to
the
difficulties
difficulties
presented
by
kovin
19,
and
so
yes,
hotel
rooms
are
being
added,
they
are
continuing
to
be
added
and
they
serve
obviously
people
who
are
more
vulnerable
and
they
serve
individuals
who
have
already
contracted
and
one
of
the
pieces
that
we.
H
G
You
know,
in
collaboration
with
our
state
as
well,
to
make
sure
that
we've
got
a
partnership
that
allows
the
Minneapolis
to
get
the
resources
that
we
need
in
order
to
fully
attack
this,
and
you
know
the
truth
is
that
we
we
will
need
help.
We
will
need
help
both
in
terms
of
resources
and
staffing
resources.
As
we
look
at
approximately
a
200
million
dollar
shortfall
in
revenues,
we
will
need
resources
to
do
that
necessary
on
the
ground.
Work
that
you
just
spoke
of
and
and
staffing.
You
know
there
is
a
high.
E
F
G
We
need
to
alleviate
some
of
the
burden
with
respect
to
space,
in
other
words,
providing
more
space
to
allow
for
proper
physical
distancing
between
beds,
and
we
need
to
alleviate
the
burden
in
terms
of
staff
burnout
because,
as
these
shelters
are
reaching
as
as
they're
at
a
at
a
very
high
capacity
right
now,
it
becomes
difficult
to
do
this
week
after
week,
and
so
I
can
assure
you
that
we
are.
We
are
working
with
the
state
right
now
to
attack
this
quite
head-on.
G
B
Is
that
while
they
work
to
ramp
up
the
hospital
or
sorry
excuse
me,
the
hotel
bed
capacity
that
one
of
the
biggest
challenges
both
there
and
in
the
shelter
is
where
they
have
started,
to
create
more
space
for
social
distancing.
That
staffing
is
a
really
high
need.
They
aren't
able
to
find
the
operational
capacity
Staffing
needed
to
operate
those
shelters.
Now
that's
what
we're
hearing
from
the
counties.
Of
course
we
don't.
B
We
are
not
the
direct
operator
of
those
facilities,
and
so
that
is
one
of
the
asks
that
the
county
has
made
to
the
state
of
Minnesota
is
help
with
that
staffing
gap
that
they
are
experiencing.
I
think
another
question
that
we
all
have
is
about
just
sort
of
as
the
as
the
testing
reveals
more
cases
how
to
better
systematize
this.
You
know
across
jurisdiction,
partnerships
on
how
to
get
people
into
those
available
beds
as
needed,
whether
they're
coming
from
shelters
or
encampments
or
congregate,
living
centers
or
other
populations
that
may
need
quarantine
or
isolation.
B
Housing
and
I
know
that
the
governor's
office
and
the
state
is
working
on
creating
a
you
know:
state
leadership,
team
and
individuals,
shifting
their
job
responsibilities,
to
focus
specifically
on
that
I
think
we
saw
when
the
state
very
quickly
ramped
up
hospital
bed
capacity.
How
well
it
worked
for
the
state
to
take
the
lead
on
that
kind
of
statewide
effort
and
in
the
metro
area
we
were
able
to
very
quickly
mobilize
and
identify
I
think
a
thousand
more
hospital
beds
with
the
support
of
many
local
jurisdictions,
including
the
city
of
Minneapolis.
B
So
it
sounds
like
the
state
is
now
taking
more
of
that
kind
of
approach
to
the
question
around
quarantine,
housing
and
shelter,
housing
for
folks
experiencing
homelessness
and
I.
Think
that
will
really
benefit
our
you
know
all
of
our
communities,
all
the
folks
that
are
both
experiencing
homelessness,
who
are
vulnerable
to
catching
kovat,
but
also
the
other
populations
that
may
need
temporary
housing
during
the
coming
months.
So
we've
been
really
willing
partners
in
that.
As
the
mayor
alluded
for
us
it's,
it
would
be
an
enormous
financial
challenge
to
try
to
take
that
on
alone.
B
G
H
Mr.
mayor,
this
is
David
Frank
from
CPD
and
Ray
is
not
on
the
call
this
morning,
but
she's
been
providing
me
with
information
as
you
and
the
council
president
in
responding
very
well
to
councilmember,
Fletcher's,
question
and
I
think
between
the
two
of
you,
you
have
it
very
well
covered
well.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.

I
just
wanted

say
thank
you
for
choosing
our
community
to
bring
your
wonderful
services.
Thank
you,
madam
president,.
B
Thank
You
councilmember,
so
much
for
highlighting
that
and
I'll
note
that
that
sort
of
arrangement
that
sort
of
small
site
shelter
wasn't
allowed
in
our
zoning
code
just
a
little
while
ago
and
the
council
worked
last
term
to
update
that
part
of
our
zoning
code
so
that
we
were
able
to
welcome
more
shelters,
especially
of
that
smaller
size
with
those
kinds
of
innovative
programs.
So
it's
really
heartening
to
see
that
it
worked
and
by
making
that
available
and
legal
in
our
city.
That
partners
were
able
to
take
advantage
of
that
change.

amended
and
corrected
to
accept
a
donation
from
xfinity
of
airtime
for
public
service
announcements
related
to
the
2020
census.
This
item
was
sent
forward
from
committee
without
recommendation,
but
I
will
move
approval
of
the
corrected
resolution
that
was
circulated
by
the
clerk
on
Wednesday
evening.
Madam
President
I
move
approval
of
all
15
items,
Thank.

So
I
just
wanted
to
pause
and
say
that
now
that
we've
gotten
into
a
bit
of
a
rhythm
here,
I'm
able
to
get
through
a
meeting
with
my
technology
working
and
have
the
time
to
say
that
here
before
we
conclude
so
just
my
heartfelt
thanks
to
each
of
you
on
behalf
of
my
colleagues
for
all
that
you're
doing
to
enable
us
to
still
serve
the
community
in
this
way
and/or.
We
are
very
earnest
in
our
desire
to
make
sure
that
our
meetings
are
accessible.
B
That
folks
can
call
in
and
participate
during
the
to
committee
meetings
and
our
public
hearings
and
we're
doing
our
very
best
to
continue
to
serve
the
people
of
Minneapolis
in
this
new
way,
and
that
would
not
be
possible
with
all
of
the
efforts
of
staff,
including
those
who
are
supporting
each
of
these
meetings
at
Council.
Mr.
clerk
and
then
council.
Vice
president.
C
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
mr.
Carl
that
recognition
I
just
wanted
to
acknowledge
that
I
think
it
is
public
service,
Awareness
Week
and
it
is
not.
It
should
be
so
I
just
want
to
echo
your
comments,
madam
president,
and
really
just
say
thank
you
to
all
of
our
public
servants,
including
my
colleagues
on
the
council,
for
your
service
to
this
community
and
I
am
just
so
proud
to
be
a
part
of
this,
this
body
and
this
work
in
this
effort.
Thank
you
so
much
thank.
B
A
B
Of
course,
we
passed
the
resolution
last
week
declaring
this
week
public
service
week.
So
yes,
thank
you
so
much
council
vice
president.
For
that
reminder,
we
were
able
to
make
those
comments.
Last
week
when
we
passed
the
resolution,
but
it's
good
to
stop
and
acknowledge
that
again
today
it
is
also
teacher
appreciation
week
and
I
know
many
of
us
have
kids
learning
at
home
and
are
seeing
our
teachers
go
above
and
beyond
to
serve
our
community
as
well.
B
So
a
lot
of
things
to
go
around
to
so
many
who
are
coming
together
in
our
community
any
for
their
comments
or
announcements,
seeing
none.
We
have
no
further
business
before
us
and
without
objection.
I
will
declare
this
meeting
adjourned.
Thank
you
so
much
for
everyone's
service.
Thank
you,
happy
Mother's
Day,
as
the
clerk
said
to
all
who
are
celebrating
this
weekend.
Thank
you.
