A
I'm
item

is
an
update
from
the
finance
subcommittee
and
I
will
now
invite
the
chair
of
that
subcommittee
council
member
fletcher
to
lead
this
portion
of
our
meeting
councilman
fletcher.
H
H
I
Great,
thank
you
councilmember
fletcher,
chair
jenkins.
So,
yes,
I
don't
have
a
lot
to
add,
but
I
wanted
to
update
you
on
some
new
things
of
what
we're
gonna
be
doing
with
this
program
with
the
continuation
of
the
grant-
and
I
think
you
all
know-
but
we
switched
the
name
of
our
program
from
the
downtown
100
to
the
strategic
justice
partnership.
I
We
felt
that
was
more
representative
of
what
we're
trying
to
do
with
our
justice
partners
and
with
the
program
the
grant
funds,
one
full-time
probation
officer
and
a
prosecutor
used
on
these
cases
and
the
new
component
that
we're
adding
in
2021
is
in
addition
to
the
the
contract
that
funds,
our
probation
officer
and
the
attorney
in
my
office.
They
are
contracting
with
hennepin
county
to
add
a
one,
a
full-time
social
worker
to
our
group,
to
our
partnership
and
they're,
also
adding
a
van
which
is
going
to
be
used
for
transport.
I
The
way
the
contract
is
still
being
worked
out
with
hennepin
county
and
the
details,
but
what
we
hope
will
happen
is
that
this
will
allow
us
to
move
this
program
forward
in
the
system,
and
I
talk
about
this
a
lot
when
I
talk
about
the
work,
we're
doing
that
everything
we've
done
so
far
is
really
once
someone
comes
into
the
criminal
justice
system
on
a
charge,
and
our
goal
is
always
to
take
these
projects
that
we're
doing
in
these
programs
that
work
and
move
them
forward,
and
this
is
one
example
of
that
when
law
enforcement
responds
to
something
one
of
these
low-level
misdemeanors
in
this
downtown
improvement,
district
loitering
case
drug
paraphernalia,
trespass,
something
like
that.
I
They're
going
to
be
talking
to
the
individual
and
give
them
the
option
to
see
if
they
are
eligible
for
services
and
if
they're
interested
in
having
help
getting
connected
with
those
services
and
those
services
can
be
anything
from
housing,
employment,
mental
health,
addiction,
medical
medical
care.
Things
like
that.
I
If
the
individual
is
interested
in
that
they're
going
to
be
put
in
contact
right
away
with
the
social
worker,
and
then
they
will
be
able
to
take
that
individual
in
the
van
down
to
the
new
triage
center
on
1800
chicago
and
that's
where
they
will
hopefully
get
hooked
into
services-
and
this
can
happen
both
without
someone
being
charged
or
it
can
also
be
used
again
in
the
court
system,
will
will
tie
this
into
the
work
we're
doing
in
restorative
court.
I
So
the
social
worker
is
going
to
play
a
key
role
in
talking
to
the
person
assessing
what
their
needs
are,
making
some
basic
determination
if
they
are
eligible
for
the
services
and
then
hopefully
encouraging
them
to
accept.
I'm
I'm
excited
about
that.
I'm
also
really
really
excited
about
the
the
use
of
the
van.
I
What
we
have
seen
in
a
lot
of
our
work
is
our
law
enforcement
partners
are
very
willing
to
transport
someone
to
the
triage
center,
but,
as
you
can
imagine,
not
a
lot
of
people
have
a
lot
of
trust
and
faith,
and
you
know
want
to
hop
in
the
squad
car
thinking.
That's
where
they're
going
so
having
this
option.
That's
not
tied
to
law
enforcement
for
transport.
I
So
that
addition,
we're
really
looking
forward
to
adding
that
to
this
program.
And
then
anyone
who
does
happen
to
get
charged
but
is
working
with
the
social
worker
would
be
eligible
to
participate
in
restorative
court
and
that
will
allow
them
to
have
a
better
disposition
on
their
case
and
we've
seen.
The
reduction
of
recidivism
restorative
court
has
done,
and
I
think
it
also
will
have
a
link
where
working
with
the
sheriff's
department
in
2021
we'll
be
posting
for
another
social
worker.
I
Who's
going
to
be
at
the
jail
during
evening
hours
to
triage
people
who
are
booked
into
the
jail
on
these
type
of
offenses
and
hopefully
do
an
expedited
release
process
to
1800,
and
rather
than
have
them,
go
through
the
formal
four
hour
booking
process
and
possibly
be
held
on
bail.
So
I
think
it
ties
together
really
well
with
all
of
the
work
that
we're
currently
doing,
and
it's
just
a
nice
addition
to
the
program
that
we've
had
in
place
for
ten
years.
So
that's
kind
of
the
quick
update.
J
Thank
you,
miss
hank
for
all
your
work
on
this.
I
just
wondered
if
you
could
talk
more
about
the
target
population
and
how
this
serves
the
juvenile
population
that
we've
all
been
talking
about
so
much
at
the
criminal
justice
coordinating
committee
and,
in
you
know
many
conversations
with
mr
freeman's
office
and
the
corrections
folks
yeah.
So
how
much
is
this
program
interacting
with
juveniles
and
how
does
it
interact
with
other
things
that
are
set
up
to
serve
and
respond
to
juveniles?.
I
Certainly,
council,
president
bender
members
of
the
committee,
one
of
the
partners
of
one
of
our
partners
in
this
program
is
youthlink
and,
while
my
office
doesn't,
you
know,
have
any
prosecution
authority
over
those
cases.
A
lot
of
the
individuals
that
are
coming
into
contact
are
our
juveniles,
and
this
will
just
be
another
resource
for
those
juveniles
like
we
send
them
to
youth
link
and
use
them,
and
so
yes,
I
think,
as
they
come
across
juveniles
that
are
downtown
that
are
in
need
of
services.
I
I
believe
that
the
social
worker
will
be
able
to
to
work
with
them
and
hopefully
get
them
the
services
they
need
just
like
they
would
any
anyone
over
18.
J
Thank
you
just
quickly.
We
had
two
presentations
and
discussions
at
the
criminal
justice
coordinating
committee
at
our
last
meeting,
which
includes
city,
county
and
suburban
law
enforcement
corrections,
social
service
providers,
one
was
about
the
restorative
court
and
some
of
the
outcomes
which
I
think
would
be
worth
bringing
to
pogo
at
a
future
date
next
year,
and
then
we
also
had
some
outcomes
from
a
working
group
of
that
that
larger
group
that
is
particularly
focused
on
recidivism
recidivism
issues
with
youth.
It
started
with
car
theft.
J
Now
those
crimes
have
escalated
into
carjackings
and
there
are
very
specific
recommendations
that
have
come
out
of
that
work
group
for
next
steps
about
how
to
address
the
gaps
in
the
system
that
are
specific
to
juveniles.
So
again,
I
just
want
to
flag
that
for
my
colleagues
that
there's
like
a
lot
of
conversations
happening
about
you,
know
kind
of
these
patterns
overall
and
recidivism
overall
improvements
to
our
justice
system,
but
particularly
about
juveniles,
as
we
see
such
an
increase
in
juvenile
crimes.
So
thanks
for
all
the.
H
H
Thank
you.
Next
is
councilmember
gordon.
B
B
We
justified
it
by
looking
at
the
expenses
that
were
involved
by
not
doing
anything
and
I'm
just
wondering
if
we
still
might
be
able
to
be
tracking
that
and
building
the
case
for
how
much
we've
been
saving
in
terms
of
court
resources
and
these
report
resources
with
the
current
program
and
yeah.
I'm
not
sure
if
you
have
any
of
that
information
now,
but
getting
that
in
the
future
would
be
helpful.
I
Councilmember
gordon
members
of
the
committee-
yes,
we
when
we
when
we
calculate
that
we
can't
give
an
exact
dollar
amount,
because
you
know
it
is.
It
is
one
of
those
kind
of
amorphous
numbers,
but
yes,
we
will
be
kerry.
Kovaleski
is
the
attorney
in
my
office.
I
That's
now
heading
up
this
program
and
at
the
end
of
2020
she
will
be
looking
at
all
of
our
data
and
doing
our
reports
on
all
of
that,
and
we
will
part
of
that
as
we
look
at
long-term
and
short-term
recidivism,
and
we
can
extrapolate
from
that
cost
savings
to
my
office
for
not
having
to
prosecute
the
court
system
and
all
that.
So
we
should
have
that
available,
hopefully
fairly
soon.
In
early
2021.,
the
numbers
will
be
a
little
off
because
obviously
the
court
system
has
been
slowed
down
with
everything.
I
That's
happened
since
march
and
a
lot
of
these
offenses,
the
low-level
misdemeanors
that
usually
these
individuals
are
committing,
are
not
we're
not
prioritized
cases
when
the
court
was
shut
down,
especially
in
march
and
april.
So
we'll
have
to
see
what
those
numbers
look
like.
But
yes,
we
any
anytime
any
of
our
programs,
reduce
recidivism,
short
term
and
long
term.
I
think
we
can.
We
can
extrapolate
that
that's
that's
savings
for
everyone,
and
so
we
hope
to
have
those
numbers
sometime
in
the
first
quarter.
B
I
Correct
it's
still.
It's
still
in
that
area.
The
restorative
court
is
city-wide,
so
it's
anyone
from
anywhere
and
we
are.
We
are
expanding
restorative
court
to
a
second
half
day
because
it
has
been
so
well
received
and
so
successful.
I
We
will
now
be
doing
that
calendar
on
wednesday
afternoon
and
I
believe
tuesday
morning,
starting
in
2021,
so
we're
really
excited
about
that.
That
is
a
citywide
program
and
so
we're
kind
of
using
the
model
that
started
with
this
back
in
2010
10,
expanding
it
to
social
workers
rather
than
probation
officers,
because,
while
the
probation
officer
still
plays
a
key
role
in
the
strategic
justice
partnership
for
some
of
these
individuals,
they
are
very
high
need,
but
low
risk
and
even
a
dedicated
probation
officer
is
not
the
way
to
go.
I
Adding
the
social
worker
and
allowing
them
to
go
through
that
track
actually
is
producing
better
results.
That
way,
and
so
we'll
have
the
probation
officer
for
those
you
know
high
need
high
risk
clients,
but
I
think
this
will
be
a
nice
nice
addition
to
that
toolbox.
B
A
Comment,
thank
you,
chair,
fletcher
and
miss
hang.
I
really
appreciate
this
update.
I'm
just
curious
due
to
the
proximity,
the
restorative
center
justice
center
to
avivo
are.
Is
there
any
connections
if
people
present
with
chemical
health
issues
or
chemical
dependency
issues?
Do
you
know
if
that
is
a
connection
or
a
part
of
the
network
of
resources
that
people
are
being
referred
to.
I
Council
vice
president
jenkins,
members
of
the
committee-
yes,
I
don't
know
about
that
particular
program.
I
know
they
they
send
people
to
a
variety
of
treatment
programs.
I
assume
that
is
one
that's
used,
but
yes,
part
of
this
process
will
be.
If,
if
someone
is
presenting
with
any
form
of
alcohol
or
drug
addiction,
they
will
be,
they
can
be
given
that
assessment
and
be
given
a
referral
to
whatever
treatment
is
appropriate
for
their
needs,
whether
that's
inpatient
outpatient,
trying
to
find
the
right
treatment
center
based
on
you
know,
maybe
cultural
needs
things
like
that.
I
So
yes,
that
will
be
a
big,
a
big
part
of
what
this
work
will
do.
A
Okay,
yeah!
No,
I
I
do
really
appreciate
this
approach
as
well.
When
I,
when
I
worked
at
hennepin
county,
we
employ
a
lot
of
so
I
mean
probation
officers
and
social
workers
to
to
help
deal
with
restorative
justice.
A
There
were
many
more
community-based
restorative
justice
sites
at
the
time,
but
I
think
that
the
probation
officer
approach
is
a
a
good
way
to
you
know:
there's
still
some
teeth
in
that,
but
you
know
it's
not
an
officer
with
a
gun
so
to
speak,
so
appreciate
this
approach
and
would
absolutely
like
to
see
it
expanded
beyond
downtown
to
council
member
gordon's
point.
Thank
you
very
much.
I
You're
welcome
if
I
could
just
add
one
more
thing
to
your
comments.
I
think
what
makes
this
approach
really
unique
is
for
probation
officers
to
engage.
There
has
to
be
a
sentence
imposed
and
they
have
to
be
court
ordered
on
probation
and
using
social
workers.
We
don't
even
need
them
to
be
in
the
system
if
they're
eligible
for
for
services,
they
can
work
with
a
social
worker
without
ever
being
charged
and
even
when
they
are
charged.
I
We
have
set
this
up
to
be
a
purely
voluntary
relationship,
and
I
think
that
has
really
been
the
key
to
the
success
in
restorative
court
and
what
we
hope
to
see
the
success
in
this
program,
because
individuals
are
choosing
for
themselves
to
accept
the
services
that
they
need
and
they
are
they're,
not
court
ordered
they
understand
if
they
change
their
mind
or
they
don't
follow
through
there's.
No,
you
know,
there's
no
jail
time
or
anything
associated
their
case.
I
So
I
think
that
is
something
we
didn't
necessarily
anticipate
when
we
started
working
with
all
the
social
workers,
but
we've
seen
the
value
in
that
that
doing
something
outside
of
a
court
order
is
having
really
positive
effects,
and
there
certainly
is
a
place
for
the
court
to
order
someone
on
probation
and
see
if
we
can
get
them
in
the
right
direction
if
they
need
that
extra
boost.
But
this
is
a
nice
first
step
before
we
get
to
that
level.
H
I
don't
see
any
other
questions
in
queue.
I'll
just
add
my
gratitude
for
this.
I
think
it's
evident
to
a
lot
of
people
who
spend
time
downtown
that
the
opportunity
to
have
additional
social
supports
that
people
can
voluntarily
engage
with
and
get
help
that
they
need
it's
something
that
is
just
evidently
a
need
intuitively.
It
makes
a
lot
of
sense
and
I
think
it
layers
well
with
some
of
the
other
proposed
programming
this
city
is
pursuing
and
that
the
county's
pursuing
at
a
lot
of
different
levels.
H
So
I'm
appreciative
of
the
work
and
of
the
partnership
and
I'll
move
approval
of
this.
Of
the
acceptance
of
this
grant.
Is
there
any
further
discussion.

Thank
you,
councilmember
fletcher,
and
thank
you
again
to
miss
hain
item
number
13
on
our
discussion
agenda
is
a
report
on
funding
and
legislative
strategies
to
support
tenants
facing
eviction.
A
Dean
porter
nelson
from
the
community
planning
and
economic
development
department
will
be
presenting
this
report.
Mr
reporter
nelson,
are
you
available.
L
Hi,
yes,
I
am
available.
I'd
like
katie
tepinka,
had
actually
planned
to
join
in
this
presentation
as
well.
Katie
are
you
available.
M
G
M
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
So
this
report
is
in
response
to
a
staff
direction
that
the
council
adopted
over
the
summer,
directing
staff
from
cped
the
city
attorney's
office
and
the
finance
department
to
pursue
strategies
to
support
tenants
facing
eviction
with
a
focus
on
funding
and
resource
strategies,
to
provide
right
to
counsel
and
also
legislative
strategies
that
we
could
consider.
M
So
dean
is
going
to
go
into
much
more
detail
on
our
analysis
and
report
on
right
to
counsel
specifically,
but
before
we
got
into
that,
we
just
wanted
to
set
the
context
a
little
bit
in
terms
of
our
overall
housing
strategies
that
the
city
has
been
pursuing
over
the
last
couple
of
years.
So
next
slide
please.
M
So
these
seven
housing
strategies
are
have
been
presented
previously
and
are
available
in
a
report
we
released
earlier
this
year,
the
way
home
report-
and
these
are
housing
strategies
that
are
aligned
with
the
minneapolis
implementing
the
minneapolis
2040
plan.
And
so
we
just
wanted
to
set
the
context
of
where
strategies
to
prevent
eviction
fit
in
here.
M
So
the
seven
strategies
are
increasing
housing,
supply,
producing
more
affordable
rental
housing
and
preserving
affordable
rental
housing,
preserving
naturally
occurring
affordable
housing,
improving
and
sustaining
access
to
home
ownership,
especially
among
low-income
and
black
indigenous
people
of
color
residents,
supporting
renters,
preventing
and
ending
homelessness
and
then
maximizing.
M
Potential
of
publicly
owned
land
to
meet
city
housing
goals,
so,
as
you
can
imagine,
strategies
to
support
tenants
facing
eviction
really
fits
in
with
our
strategy
fifth
strategy
here
on
supporting
renters.
In
addition
to
fitting
in
with
these
housing
strategies,
it
also
fits
in
directly
with
the
strategic
and
racial
equity
action
plan
which
this
committee
regularly
receives.
Reports
on
and
the
housing
goal
in
that
plan
is
reducing
involuntary
displacement
and
rental.
M
Housing
for
black
indigenous
people
of
color
and
immigrant
communities,
so
looking
at
strategies
to
prevent
eviction
among
renters
is
is
well
aligned
with
the
the
srip
housing
goal.
So
next
slide
please.
M
M
I
already
referenced
the
strategic
and
racial
equity
action
plan,
the
renter
first
policy,
several
new
ordinances
around
supporting
renters,
including
advanced
notice
of
sale
and
post
sale,
tenant
protections,
the
renter
protection
ordinance
adopted
last
year
and
other
things
that
are
under
development
and,
in
addition
to
the
policies
we
have
renter
services,
and
so
part
of
that
is,
is
what
we're
going
to
go
into
more
detail
here
and
that's
the
partnerships
we
have
with
organizations
like
legal
aid
and
home
line
who
provide
legal
assistance
and
legal
support
to
renters.
M
We
also
work
with
legal
aid
to
so
that
they
can
provide
representative
representation
and
habitability
cases
to
help
people
where
there
are
repairs
needed
in
in
their
rental
housing
and,
of
course,
home
line
provides
free,
legal
assistance
to
to
renters
in
minneapolis,
so
just
wanted
to
give
that
overview
before
diving
into
the
staff
direction
to
just
set
that
context
for
you.
So
with
that,
I
will
turn
it
back
over
to
dean,
to
get
into
more
details
about
right
to
counsel.
L
Thanks
katie
next
slide,
please
so
to
start
out.
I
just
wanted
to
give
an
overview
of
how
we're
how
we
have
set
up
this
report
to
respond
to
the
staff
direction.
So
first,
we'll
provide
a
national
overview
of
other
cities
and
states
that
have
implemented
right
to
council
policies
or
have
described
them
or
have
proposed
them.
We'll.
L
L
Other
programs
have
a
or
sorry
most
programs
have
figures
that
they
cite
related
to
public
sector
savings
such
as
reduced
homeless,
shelter
costs,
reduce
foster
care
costs
or
medical
bills,
and-
and
so
we
did
see
that
throughout
as
well,
and
so
here
we
just
have
some
numbers
from
new
york
and
san
francisco
in
terms
of
the
cost
that
they're
spending
on
these
programs,
which
can
vary
quite
widely,
obviously
based
on
population,
but
also
based
on
the
amount.
That's
allocated
per
case
and
the
level
of
representation
provided.
Okay
next
slide.
L
So
three
other
cities
that
have
a
right
to
council
strategy
are
cleveland,
philadelphia
and
newark.
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
with
these
programs
that
they're
very
new
all
having
been
implemented
in
2019
or
2020,
so
we
don't
have
as
much
data
as
we
did
on
new
york,
which
started
their
program
in
2017
and
has
already
been
able
to
show
that
they're
they're
representing
quite
a
few
tenants,
and
that
the
number
of
tenants
represented
in
new
york,
for
example,
rose
from
one
percent
to
32
percent
between
2013
and
2019.
L
I
really
believe
briefly
just
wanted
to
highlight
that
a
couple
of
states,
massachusetts
and
connecticut
have
some
legislation.
That's
been
proposed
around
right
to
council,
so
it
isn't
necessarily
just
a
local
level
strategy,
but
to
date
the
only
jurisdictions
that
have
implemented
such
a
strategy
are
cities
that
we
were
able
to
uncover
in
our
research
anyway.
Next
slide.
L
So
now
we're
turning
over
to
look
at
current
city
funding
levels
around
our
right
to
council
strategy
and
what
the
city
is
already
doing
in
this
area.
So,
first
off
the
city
implemented
a
contract
with
homeline
in
2015
initially
and
has
since
increased
that
contract
to
its
current
level
of
125
000
annually.
L
This
this
contract
with
homeline
is
to
provide
legal
advice
to
tenants
through
a
hotline
and
then
referrals
to
actually
get
full
legal
representation.
So
it
does
not
provide
representation,
but
it
does
provide
a
very
valuable
service
to
over
3
700
tenants
annually,
who
are
receiving
advice
about
their
specific
legal
situation
and,
in
many
cases,
they're
receiving
some
advice
that
might
help
them
to
face
a
possible
eviction
proceeding
and
in
some
cases,
they're
receiving
a
referral
to
a
group
like
mid-minnesota
legal
aid.
L
Next
slide,
current
city
funding
for
mid-minnesota
legal
aid
has
increased
greatly
since
the
first
year
that
the
city
started
supporting
legal
aid
in
tenant
landlord
cases,
so
that
was
2018
with
a
habitability
repair
contract,
which
was
focused
on
providing
representation
to
tenants
who
were
trying
to
compel
their
landlords
to
make
necessary
repairs
to
units.
To
really
to
just
provide
that
basic
level
of
habitability
in
2019,
an
eviction
defense
contract
was
added
by
the
city
council
and
the
habitability
contract
was
increased.
L
So
there
was
about
a
funding
level
of
around
500
000
for
both
of
those
contracts
in
2019
and
now
in
2020.
We've
seen
something
a
little
bit
different,
because
the
city
has
some
cdbg
coveted
response
dollars
and
those
have
been
allocated
to
replace
the
the
contract
cracks
that
existed
in
2019
and
in
addition
to
that,
they
are
including
some
additional
services,
such
as
the
tenant
resource
center
and
preparing
for
a
potential
surge
response.
L
If
the
eviction
moratorium
does
expire
in
the
future,
that
preparation
is
taking
place
right
now,
and
so
so.
Currently,
the
the
contract
that
is
in
place
is
a
year
and
a
half.
It
goes
from
october
of
this
year
through
march
of
2022,
and
so
that
is
about
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
annually.
It
does
include
additional
services,
so
it
doesn't
necessarily
increase
the
number
of
eviction
cases
that
will
be
seen
that's
at
around
320
annually,
which
is
about
a
around
10
percent
of
the
total
need
for
eviction,
representation
for
low
and
moderate
income.
Tenants
next
slide.
L
L
L
So
as
we
look
at
where
the
city
is
at
right
now
in
terms
of
legal
representation
for
tenants
facing
eviction,
mid-minnesota
legal
aid
provided
a
couple
of
proposals
to
city
staff
that
looked
at
the
amount
of
funding
that
would
allow
them
to
provide
essentially
a
right
to
counsel
for
tenants
facing
eviction.
So,
first
we
have
at
one
and
a
half
million
dollars
a
year.
Legal
aid
anticipates
that
they
could
provide
services
to
all
tenants
that
are
in
need
of
eviction
representation
around
3
000
tenants
per
year.
L
However,
some
of
those
tenants
only
40
would
receive
full
representation,
whereas
a
more
limited
level
of
representation
would
be
provided
to
other
tenants
to
to
try
to
meet
that
full
need
with
one
and
a
half
million
dollars
a
year
and
a
more,
I
guess,
robust
effort,
even
beyond
that.
Robust
level
of
support
for
right
to
counsel
legal
aid,
provided
a
proposal
saying
that
for
3.75
million
dollars
annually,
all
tenants
that
needed
legal
representation
and
were
low
or
moderate
income
would
be
able
to
receive
full
representation.
L
So
these
figures
take
into
account
about
800
per
client
in
the
first
scenario
and
about
1
250
per
client
in
the
second
scenario,
and
if
you
compare
those
to
some
other
cities,
they're
actually
relatively
reasonable
cost
levels.
Some
of
the
other
cities
like
new
york
and
san
francisco
had
higher
representation
amounts
per
client,
but
it
is
still
significantly
more
than
the
city
is
budgeting
for
this
area.
Currently
next
slide.
L
So
as
this
committee
and
the
city
council
looks
at
policy
options
going
forward,
staff
in
cped,
the
city,
attorney's
office,
the
finance
department,
regulatory
services
and
the
city
attorney
all
convened
and
looked
at
how
the
city
could
potentially
look
at
a
right
to
council
policy.
So
we
came
up
with
the
possibility
of
either
a
resolution
or
an
ordinance
that
would
authorize
right
to
counsel
for
tenants
facing
eviction
in
minneapolis.
L
L
Those
are
an
annual
budget
item,
but
the
legal
aid
contract
runs
through
only
march
of
2022,
and
so,
if
the
council
decided
to
move
forward
with
the
right
to
council
strategy
next
year
in
2021,
a
new
funding
source
starting
in
2022
would
be
needed
to
continue
to
ramp
up
towards
the
goal
of
right
to
counsel,
and
so
the
funding
could
be
ramped
up
on
an
annual
basis
and
of
course,
the
level
of
tenant
representation
would
be
ramped
up.
L
M
Thank
you
this
one.
I
will
cover
this
slide
here
about
the
legislative
agenda,
so
in
addition
to
the
right
to
council
evaluation
that
we
did
as
part
of
the
staff
direction,
we
also
looked
at
additional
legislative
strategies,
and
so,
as
part
of
that
staff
have
recommended-
and
I
know
the
next
item
on
your
agenda
here
today-
is
the
2021
legislative
agenda,
so
we
have
recommended
as
part
of
that.
Well
first,
let
me
back
up.
M
First,
the
cur,
what's
currently
in
the
city's
legislative
agenda,
are
sort
of
general
statements
on
eviction
prevention
which
are
here
on
this
slide.
So
the
city
has
already
stated
that
it
supports
funding
and
policy
to
help
reduce
evictions
and
support
strategies
to
reduce
the
impact
of
eviction
filings
on
future
housing
opportunities.
M
So
we
have
recommended
adding
to
the
2021
legislative
agenda
that
we
to
be
more
explicit,
that
we
support
policies,
including
just
cause
eviction
and
an
eviction,
pre-filing
notice,
which
would
be
increasing
the
the
timeline
that
from
which
somebody
receives
an
eviction
notice
for
how
much
time
they
have
before
the
eviction
is
actually
filed.
And
so
those
are
two
strategies.
We
also
looked
at
as
part
of
the
staff
direction
and
that
we
are
recommending
adding
to
the
2021
state
legislative
agenda
next
slide.
M
So
I
think
that's
all
we
have
so
we're
both
available
for
for
questions.
A
Thank
you
both
for
this
presentation
and
it
looks
like
we
have
a
question
or
comment
from
council
president
bender.
J
J
Now
that
it's
been
a
couple
years,
we
have
a
lot
more
examples
from
cities
around
the
country
that
have
gone
first,
and
you
know
I'm
thinking
about
how
it
relates
to
the
to
the
renter
first
policy
that
the
council
adopted-
and
I
know,
there's
a
ton
of
it
from
council
members
around
the
city
in
in
supporting
renters.
You
know
we
began
this
work
before
the
pandemic,
and
so
I
think
things
have
changed
so
much
because
you
know
we're
lucky
to
be
in
a
state
that
has
a
statewide
eviction
moratorium.
J
I
think
we
all
know
that
once
a
moratorium
is
lifted,
we
will
have
a
real,
potentially
bad
situation
on
our
hands
of
folks
facing
eviction
and
mass.
J
So
I
just
I'm
really
glad
that
we're
being
so
proactive-
and
I
know
our
staff
are
constantly
talking
with
folks
at
the
state
and
the
county-
it
just
makes
this
work
all
the
more
important
having
hundreds
of
meetings
over
the
years
I've
been
in
office
about
renter
support.
I've
become
convinced
that
having
legal
representation
in
court
when
an
attendant
is
facing
eviction
is
one
of
the
most
cost-effective
and
strategic
ways
that
our
community
can
support
housing
stability.
J
We
know
there
are
people
living
in
tents
because
they've
been
evicted
from
their
homes.
We
know
that
with
what's
a
real
moderate
investment
compared
to
some
of
our
other
housing
strategies,
we're
able
to
reach
thousands
of
people
and
based
on
experiences
from
other
cities.
I
think
the
outcomes
are
really
good
so,
and
I
think
it
also.
It
really
ties
in
with
this
whole
other
strategy,
which
is
going
after
problem
landlords
and
the
revolving
fund
that
we
created
last
year
in
the
budget.
J
You
know
partnering
with
because,
as
you
know,
as
our
partners
at
legal
aid
or
at
volunteer
lawyers
network
and
others,
you
know
start
to
see
the
patterns
coming
through
court.
It's
just
like
one
of
the
other
ways
that
we
start
to
get
identifying.
J
Is
there
a
place
for
tenant,
remedy
action
or
other
kind
of
more
holistic
or
legal
approaches
that
we
can
take,
because
we
know
there's
such
a
tie
between
quality
of
housing,
maintenance
issues
and
potential
for
eviction,
so
I
mean
we've
just
ramped
up
so
much
in
the
last
couple
of
years,
all
the
tools
that
we
have
for
facing
supporting
tenants.
I
think
this
is
one
missing
piece.
I
do
intend
to
bring
something
to
propose
for
consideration
next
year
with
in
partnership
with
staff
and
with
their
recommendations.
J
So
if
you
have
thoughts
about
this
or
you
want
to
customer
allison-
and
I
have
been
working
on
this-
if
there
are
others
who
want
to
again
with
like
so
many
other
council
members,
you
know
contributing
and
participating
if
folks
are
interested
in
this
one
just
reach
out
anytime.
Thank
you.
A
J
A
J
J
A
Yeah
no
and
I
I
absolutely
support
all
of
your
your
comments
and
and
thoughts
around
that
and
and
commend,
and
thank
you
both
for
the
efforts
that
you've
been
leading
on
this
issue.
Councilmember
osman,.
N
N
I
have
seen
we
have
seen
landlords
property
managers
really
step
in
on
the
rights
of
people
and
eviction
rates
going
up,
because
this
president
don't
have
the
legal
representation
or
they
don't
have
the
resource
of
protection
and
there's
so
many
barriers,
especially
in
my
word,
with
language
and
different
barriers.
So
I'm
so
glad
this
is
a
work
that
we
are
looking
into
it.
N
We
all
know
that
eviction
leads
to
homelessness
and
the
issue
we
have
in
minneapolis
is
homelessness
and
to
prevent
that
and
to
put
work-
and
you
know,
money
and
really
energy
to
protect
the
most
vulnerable
population
we
have,
which
is
majority
of,
are
low
income
that
don't
have
the
legal
representation.
It's
very
important.
So
thank
you
all.
A
A
And
thank
you
both
again.
So
item
number
14
on
our
agenda
is
a
report
on
the
2021
legislative
agenda,
which
was
referenced
in
the
previous
presentation
and
agenda
and
policy
positions.
The
intergovernmental
relations
department
director,
ms
fatima
moore,
will
be
presenting
this
report
and
I
will
invite
ms
moore
to
give
that
presentation.
O
Good
afternoon,
chair
jenkins
and
members
of
the
policy
government
oversight,
committee
name
is
fatima
moore
at
the
intergovernmental
relations
department
and
we'll
be
presenting
the
draft
recommendations
for
the
2021
legislative
agenda
and
policy
positions.
Today.
Presenting
with
me
is
my
colleague,
alison
nessie
from
igr
as
well,
we'll
walk
through
the
process
that
we've
taken
thus
far
to
get
the
positions
that
will
be
recommended
before
we
go
into
those
presentations.
O
If
I
can
go
to
the
next
site,
please
and
next
one.
Thank
you
awesome.
So,
each
year
changes
are
made
to
the
city's
legislative
agenda
and
those
changes
include
things
like
new
policy
positions,
technical
fixes
to
current
policies,
as
well
as
updating
languages
that
are
on
the
agenda.
O
The
statutes
that
preempt
the
city
from
achieving
many
of
its
its
goals,
the
the
team,
is
called
the
policy
liaison
team
and
this
team
has
an
application
process
that
it
utilizes
to
vet.
These
ideas
has
robust
conversations
about
policy
proposals
that
are
brought
forward,
including
a
a
question
that
really
gets
to
what
is
the
the
race
equity
impact
of
any
idea
that
is
brought
forward
to
the
policy
liaison
team
of
the
proposals
that
we
heard
over
a
duration
of
four
four
meetings.
O
21
of
those
proposals
are
what
are
what
will
be
recommended
today
and
based
on
the
actions
of
the
pogo
committee
today
and
the
council
on
on
friday.
If
those
recommendations
are
adopted,
they
will
be
put
on
to
a
draft
21
legislative
agenda
and
then
that
agenda
will
be
presented
in
the
next
council
cycle
meeting
with
track
changes
to
show
either
the
deletion
of
old
policy
positions,
because
we've
achieved
those
particular
goals
and
we
would
also
track
the
new
additions
to
the
legislative
agenda.
O
O
We
tend
to
be
pretty
vague
in
our
policy
positions.
I'll
ask
the
clerk
to
go
to
the
next
slide.
Please,
and
what
will
be
presented
on
the
next
three
slides
are
items
that
we
recommend
putting
forth
on
our
agenda.
So
we've
got
our
positions
which
are
running
lists
of
policy
positions,
and
then
we
have
the
specific
items
that
we
will.
We
know
what
we
would
recommend
leading
on
as
we
move
into
the
2021
session,
and
with
that
I'll
hand
it
over
to
my
colleague
alison
nessie,
to
go
over
these
these
agenda.
P
Items
thank
you
fatima
good
afternoon,
chair
jenkins
committee
members,
allison
messi,
with
the
intergovernmental
relations
team.
As
as
fatima
just
mentioned,
we,
you
know
our
agenda
and
policy
positions
is
a
very
large
document,
but
the
first
two
pages
of
that
are
our
annual
agenda.
So
these
are
some
recommendations
that
we're
bringing
forward
to
highlight
and
include
in
the
2021
agenda
specifically,
so
the
first
of
those
are
economic
rebuilding
and
recovery.
P
D
P
Legislative
leaders
around
identifying
and
trying
to
get
resources
for
businesses,
properties,
households
and
overall
community
efforts
that
were
impacted
by
the
events
of
civil
unrest
after
the
killing
of
george
floyd.
So
we
recommend
adding
that
language
to
the
2021
agenda.
Specifically,
as
as
fatima
noted,
we
don't
usually
identify
specific
bills
or
items.
P
P
Our
third
suggestion
for
the
2021
agenda
is
arbitration
reform.
The
the
public
safety
reform
package
that
passed
through
the
legislature
in
june
during
the
I
believe
it
was
the
first
special
session,
was
comprehensive
and
again
with
a
bi
bipartisan
legislature.
P
There
were
some
compromises:
we
are
still
seeking
a
bit
more
and
more
more
ability
to
reform
the
arbitration
system,
so
the
specific
language
would
be
to
remove
the
undue
barrier
for
a
chief
law
enforcement
officer
to
make
disciplinary
decisions,
especially
in
use
of
force
instances
and
to
clarify
the
types
of
decisions
that
can
be
or
overturned
by
the
arbiter
or
a
review
body
again.
This
would
this
would
take
legislative
action.
P
Our
fourth
suggestion
is
the
eviction
prevention
moratorium
during
cog19
pandemic,
the
language
being
amending
the
position
to
reflect
ending
evictions
during
the
coronavirus
pandemic,
appropriating
funds
and
enhancing
the
infrastructure
to
keep
residents
in
their
homes
and,
as
key
spoke
to
in
the
last
discussion
item,
we
are
also
proposing
to
amend
the
just
cause
and
pre-filing
eviction
policies
to
reflect
the
seven-day
pre-filing
notice
under
the
governor's
executive
order
and
feasibility
of
the
14-day
pre-filing
notice,
which
we
would
we
are
pushing
for,
regardless
of
a
pandemic
or
executive
order
being
in
place
next
slide.
P
Please,
the
fifth
proposal
for
the
2021
agenda
would
be
to
go
around
longer
term
the
terms
of
affordability
and
publicly
finance,
affordable
housing
projects.
P
We
are
seeking
to
allow
local
units
of
governments
to
set
affordability
periods
beyond
30
years
for
projects
that
receive
public
funds,
there's
a
barrier
right
now
with
minnesota
housing,
finance
agency
and
their
ability
to
set
affordability
rates.
So
we
would
need
that
to
extend
beyond
30
years
would
need
to
be
a
legislative
fix.
P
So
that
concludes
items
specifically
for
the
2021
agenda.
Fatima
we'll
move
to
the
next
slide.
That
is,
will
go
through
the
policy
positions
that
were
proposed.
But
if
there
are
any
questions
now
happy
to
stand.
A
I
think
there's
a
question
from
councilmember
bender.
J
Thank
you
better.
I
think
this
is
the
right
time
to
ask
but
happy
to
wait
if
it
makes
more
sense.
I
I
was
reading
the
the
full
legislative
agenda
and
hearing
that
the
change
items
the
new
proposed.
J
I
was
reflecting
that
there
isn't
a
lot
of
change
proposed
in
the
what
would
be
considered
police
reform
or
oversight
or
accountability
category,
and
I
just
wondered
if
you
can
talk
more
about
you
know
kind
of
our
approach
to
that.
Knowing
all
that's
going
on,
I
mean
we're
hearing
very
clear
demands
for
police
reform
and
accountability.
We've
heard
lots
of
suggestions
for
things
that
appear
to
require
state
law
change.
J
So
is
there
a
need
to
take
a
deeper
dive
in
looking
at
our
public
safety
related
items
as
they
pertain
to
police
reform,
and
I
know
you're
a
small
staff,
and
you
know
that
that
you
work
in
coordination
with
the
subject
matter.
Experts-
and
this
is
this-
is
really
an
enterprise
related
request,
not
one
to
the
two
of
you
specifically,
but
I
just-
and
I
know
I
mean
I've
talked
to
you
both
about
this
and
I've.
J
J
So
it
just
it
feels
a
little
inappropriate
I'll
just
say
to
not
have
really
taken
a
deep
dive
and
changed
our
our
reform
oriented
agenda,
given
so
much
so
much
of
what
we're
hearing
about
reform
and
accountability.
But
what
do
you
need
from
us
to
be
able
to
do
that?
And
how
can
we
support
our
igr
team
in
in
gathering?
I
mean,
I
know
the
mayor
has
convened
tables
like
is
that
captured
in
our
in
our
legislative
agenda?
P
I
thank
you,
madam
chair
council,
president
bender.
I
am
going
to
defer
to
fatima
who
is
not
only
our
director
but
covers
public
safety.
O
O
There
are
also
conversations
that
involve
members
of
our
of
our
delegation,
and
luckily
we
have
a
delegation
who
did
lead
a
lot
of
the
police
accountability
act,
measures
that
were
passed
on
in
the
the
first
special
session
and
we
are
continuing
to
not
only
have
conversations
with
them
as
they
prepare
for
the
2021
session
around
public
safety
reform,
but
also
track
the
multiple
conversations
that
are
happening
in
tables
at
the
same
time,
so
that
when
there
are
clear,
identified
legislative
strategies
and
statutes
that
need
to
be
amended
that
we
are,
we
will
come
back
to
the
council
and
request
an
amendment
to
add
some
of
those
legislative
strategies
to
our
2021
ledge
agenda.
O
In
addition
to
to
that,
because
we
we
we,
we
want
to
identify
that
public
safety
is
a
key
priority
for
the
council
and
the
city.
We
are
also
going
to
be
separating
all
of
our
public
safety
reform
policy
positions
and
agenda
item
and
put
them
in
a
stand-alone
public
safety
agenda
so
that
we
can
easily
identify
key
legislative
changes
that
are
currently
on
our
agenda,
but
then
also
highlight
those
new
and
upcoming
amendments
that
could
be
included.
J
Thank
you-
and
I
just
want
to
reiterate
that
part
of
the
reason
to
highlight
this
is
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
you
and
your
team
have
the
support
that
you
need
to
complete
that
important
task
and
knowing
that
we
often
rely
on
on
subject
matter
staff
in
in
departments,
I'm
not
sure,
there's
a
clear
connection.
I
guess
civil
rights
might
might
be
kind
of
the
place
that
that
would
originate,
but
I'm
not
sure
we're
really
really
well
set
up
as
an
enterprise
to
take
that
on
in
in
a
staff-driven
way.
J
So
I
just
want
to
flag.
You
know
for
you
and
for
my
colleagues
that
this
is
likely
an
area
where
we
will
need
to
provide
some
leadership,
some
clear,
clear
direction
to
staff
some
you
know
support
so
that
we
can
make
sure
that
that
we
have
what
we
need
as
a
city
to
to
get
this
to
the
right
place
to
where
we
can
advance
the
ideas
that
our
constituents
are
asking
for.
So
thanks
for
all
your
work.
O
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
council
president,
and
I
would
like
to
thank
council
members
who
we
have
been
engaged
in
conversations
on
about
public
safety
reform
already,
and
so
those
are.
Those
include
some
of
those
tables
quote
unquote
that
I
I
did
know,
including
you,
council,
president
council
member
fletcher,
jared
johnson
as
well
of
the
igr
committee,
so
we'll
and
we'll
continue
participating
in
in
those
conversations
and
then
also
making
note
of
what
community
organizations
and
and
and
advocacy
groups
who
are
centering.
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Thank
you
all
for
this
information.
Thus
far,
I'm
I'm
excited
to
see
the
changes
that
are
included
and
I'm
also
happy
to
hear
about
the
flexibility
that
is
being
built
into
what's
being
presented
and
and
what
we're
moving
forward
with,
because,
as
we
move
forward
with
the
transforming
community
safety
work
with
community
engagement,
we
will
inevitably
see
things
rise
to
the
surface
that
require
state
statute
changes.
F
And
so
I
really
appreciate
that
flexibility
and
awareness
going
into
it.
That's
something
we've
talked
about
before
so
so.
Thank
you
for
that,
and
I
also
just
want
to
take
a
moment
to
highlight
the
the
violence
prevention
edition.
I
think
that
that's
really
critical
one
of
the
things
that
I've
been
frustrated
with
as
an
elected
official
local
elected
official,
is
that
it
really
is
almost
entirely
on
local
government
to
forward
violence
prevention.
F
That
is
evidence-based,
there's
a
lot
of
evaluations
and
scientific
research
behind
it,
and
you
know
the
fact
that
we've
had
such
a
hard
time
being
able
to
claw
in
outside
dollars
to
be
able
to
help
forward
this
work.
I
think
really
speaks
to
the
need
of
increased
awareness
at
all
levels
of
government,
of
all
levels
of
government's
responsibility
to
be
thinking
about
public
safety
from
a
more
comprehensive
approach.
That's
data-driven,
evidence-based,
and
so
I'm
very
excited
to
see
this.
I
really
in
the
state
of
minnesota.
F
Minneapolis
has
really
been
at
the
forefront
of
implementing
and
evaluating
violence
prevention
strategies
within
our
local
context,
and
so
I
think
it
makes
a
lot
of
sense
that
we
add
this
to
our
legislative
agenda
and
continue
to
raise
this
up
as
a
priority
as
we're
thinking
about
how
we,
how
are
we
building
a
safer
city
not
only
of
minneapolis
but
across
the
state?
So
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you
for
that.
F
I
really
appreciate
it
and,
as
always,
I
stan
I'm
on
standby,
for,
however,
I
can
be
of
support
in
in
making
that
happen.
So
thank
you.
A
O
Thank
you
vice
president,
so
the
next
slide
oh
and
it's
already
up
there.
So
these
now
are
what
we're
recommending
for
a
policy
position.
So
back
to
what
allison
said,
we've
got
the
first
two
pages
that
really
represent
our
legislative
agenda.
O
O
You
know
we
know
that
if
we
are
able
to
get
clearly
disaggregated
data
it
can,
it
can
further
inform
the
the
kind
of
responses
the
equity-based
targeted
responses
to
move
the
the
local
public
health
work
forward
in
a
more
equitable
way,
and
so
I
want
to
make
sure
that
the
delivery
systems
that
the
city
is
developing
and
and
putting
out
in
into
the
public
truly
represents
what
needs
to
be
done
via
clear
data,
and
so
that's
what
this
is
intending
to
do.
O
O
O
In
addition
to
help
get
add
some
of
the
pay
equity
gap
that
we
see
in
the
state
of
minnesota,
go
on
to
the
next
slide.
Please.
O
Currently,
if
a
vehicle
does
not
have
a
current
registration,
the
interpretation
of
the
minnesota
law
requires
traffic
control
to
identify
the
driver
of
a
vehicle
before
ticketing
and
in
working
typically
with
parked
cars.
We've
seen
that
we
are
essentially
prohibited
from
ticketing.
If
we
don't
know
who
the
driver
is,
and
so
this
this
proposal
seeks
to
have
you
require,
have
you
identify?
O
The
next
proposal
is
regarding
the
two
generation:
two
generational
children's
savings
account.
The
minneapolis
youth
coordinating
board
has
been
working
with
hennepin
county
to
launch
a
targeted
two
generational
children
savings
account
program
in
2021..
This
was
a
program
that
was
initially
there
was
a
pilot
program
developed
that
the
city
of
st
paul
worked
on
and
so
building
off
the
best
practices
that
they
have
learned
from
that
program.
O
This
proposal
is
seeking
to
support
local
units
of
government
who
want
to
serve
as
custodians
of
a
college
savings
account
and
then
further
remove
some
of
the
identified
barriers
that
the
city
of
saint
paul
and
other
local
jurisdictions
have
identified
to
make
this
program
more
feasible
and
next
next
slide.
Please
awesome.
Thank
you.
O
Next
proposal
is
around
new
american
initiative.
Our
immigration
staff
have
identified
that
there
are
oftentimes
financial
and
administrative
barriers
that
really
make
it
difficult
for
permanent
residents
to
acquire
the
severe
citizenship.
O
It
says
this
would
be
a
statewide
legislative
initiative,
really
focused
on
promoting
naturalization
and
then
identifying
and
removing
some
of
those
barriers,
or
perhaps
administrative
rules
that
agencies
have
and
or
funding,
to
help
pay
for
the
growing
fees
and
citizenship
filing
in
the
city
of
minnesota.
O
No,
not
next
slide.
Sorry
still
on
to
this
one.
Next
one
is
around:
it
has
to
do
with
immigration
as
well,
and
it's
it's
deals
with
the
gross
misdemeanor
364
to
three
365..
O
O
The
next
proposal
is
I'm
on
a
statewide
conversion
therapy
ban
and
I
don't
think,
just
essentially
supporting
the
statewide
legislative
action
to
ban
conversion
therapy
of
minors.
There
was
a
bill
that
was
moving
on
the
house
side
last
session
and
there's
still
desire
to
continue
working
on
this
statewide
conversion
therapy,
and
so
I
want
to
make
this
explicit
on
our
policy
position
as
well.
O
The
next
two
proposals
have
to
do
with
energy
standards.
The
advanced
building
standards,
particularly
this
proposal,
supports
the
work
of
the
miami's
climate
action
plan
and
essentially
an
advanced
building
energy
standard.
It
creates
a
path
for
for
the
the
city
to
make
new
construction,
more
energy,
efficient
and
ready
to
meet
city
and
state
greenhouse
gas
reduction
goals.
O
The
next
one
is
the
energy
conservation,
optimization
policy,
and
these
updates
will
provide
opportunities
for
cost-effective
energy
efficiency
and
electrification
measures,
and
it
helps
we.
The
policy
position,
seeks
to
modernize
and
expand
minnesota's
conference
conservation,
improvement
programs
administered
by
energy
utilities.
O
A
C
Sure
just
wanted
to
quickly
comment
on
kind
of
the
energy
work.
I
really
appreciate
the
your
team
and
how
much
they've
been
pushing
this
one
thing.
C
I
know
that
in
the
last
session,
some
of
the
bills
focused
on
kind
of
the
trade-off
of
being
able
to
have
a
higher,
maybe
a
less
ambitious
standard,
but
have
it
state-wide
over
bigger
geography,
as
opposed
to
a
much
stricter
standard
or
much
higher
standard
that
we
would
want
here
in
the
city,
and
I
know
that
that's
going
to
be
a
balance
to
be
worked
out
for
the
the
good
of
all
of
minnesota.
C
But
I
would
really
appreciate
us
thinking
a
little
selfishly
and
thinking
about
how
we
can
meet
our
clean
energy
goals
and
to
make
sure
that
we're
we're
able
to
be
able
to
to
push
as
far
as
we
can,
because
right
now
we're
we're
very
limited
by
the
state
building
code.
And
I
know
that
there's
a
willingness
to
be
able
to
push
beyond
that.
O
Yes,
thank
you,
council,
member
schrader
and
members
and
you're
absolutely
right
and
back
to
our
minneapolis
delegation.
I
think
we
can
celebrate
the
fact
that
we've
got
one
of
our
delegation
members
who
will
be
chairing
the
energy
committee
in
the
house
as
well,
and
so
this
is
also
the
individual
who
carry
one
of
the
important
energy
bills
last
session
as
well.
O
Thank
you.
I
believe
I
was
on
the
city
employee,
geolocation
proposal.
Next
now
this
is
regarding
the
data
practices
act.
The
data
practices
act
does
not
explicitly
protect
employee
geolocation
data
and
further
a
recent
court
ruling
weaken
the
provisions
that
the
city
has
used
to
protect
that
information
employees
information
increasingly,
the
use
of
technology
allows
for
tracking
of
geo
location,
fleet
services
and
other
technology
assets.
O
Similarly
time
and
place
data
that
could
allow
tracking
employee
movement
is
gathered
through
some
of
the
key
cards
and
smart
locks
that
are
becoming
a
lot
more
prevalent,
and
so
the
idea
is
that
we
would
seek
to
amend
the
minnesota
data
privacy
act
to
classify
employee
geolocation
data
as
private
data.
O
And
the
next
one
is
regarding
rehomed
animals
and
their
data
as
well.
The
minneapolis
animal
control
care
and
control
has
expressed
concern
that
some
data
related
to
animal
incidents,
including
some
investigations,
so
either
bites
or
maltreatment
cases
and
rehoming
confiscated
animals
is
not
explicitly
protected.
O
The
city
has
protected
the
identity
of
complaints
under
existing
law.
However,
the
identity
of
witnesses
and
the
location
and
identity
of
re-home
pets
is
generally
not
public
unless
specific
circumstances
apply,
and
so
this
position
would
seek
to
reclassify
or
to
clarify
and
classify
that
re-home
location
of
animals,
the
identity
of
the
new
owner
and
person,
assisting
investigators.
O
O
So
this
seeks
to
make
some
of
that
information,
public
information
and
moving
on
to
virtual
meetings
conduct
the
city
is
constrained
and
in
how
and
when
it
can
allow
virtual
meetings
for
council
as
well
as
appointed
boards
and
commissions,
and
as
we
have
seen
due
to
the
kovic
pandemic,
we
have.
We
are
seeing
some
increased
participation
in
these
kinds
of
of
meetings.
O
So
the
idea
of
this
position
is
to
expand
the
minnesota
open
meeting
law
to
incorporate
types
of
virtual
meetings
that
are
allowed
at
the
state
and
then
extend
and
then
so
to
to
that
extent,
expand
the
participation
on
the
kinds
of
boards
and
and
commissions
that
the
city
oversees
as
well.
O
And
moving
on
to
the
oversized
commercial
or
truck
parking,
oversized
commercial
delivery
trucks
park
legally
for
extended
periods
of
time
on
many
streets
throughout
the
city
when
they're
not
in
use,
and
they
do
often
pose
safety
and
livability
threats
to
residents
to
other
drivers,
et
cetera.
A
current
work
group.
That's
researching!
The
issue
has
discovered
that
there
are
limited
alternatives
for
these
trucks
and
that
there's
a
shortage
of
capacity
and
limited
access
to
truck
parking
generally.
O
This
is
not
just
the
city
of
minneapolis,
but
this
has
actually
been
identified
as
a
statewide
issue
as
well.
So
this
proposal
would
seek
to
identify
a
regional
solution
to
the
lack
of
designated
commercial
truck
parking,
and
I
think
it'll
be
important
to
note
that
this,
the
work
group
that's
working
on
this
house.
O
There
are
a
lot
of
bypass
individuals
who
own
these
trucks
and
so
really
making
ensuring
that
we
utilize
a
length
of
race
equity.
When
I
identifying
like
what
solutions
are
equitable
to
ensure
that
these
business
owners
are
not
adversely
impacted
by
any
kind
of
regional
change,
as
well
as
something
that
will
be
really
ensuring
moving
forward
with
this
and
the
next
slide,
please.
A
Okay,
just
one
second,
ms
moore,
I
do
as
a
member
of
that
work
group.
I
absolutely
agree
that
this
is
a
statewide
issue.
That's
going
to
require
a
regional
approach,
so
I'm
glad
we're
we're
advocating
for
that,
and
I
want
to
acknowledge
councilmember
cunningham,
who
has
a
question
or
comment.
F
Yes,
thank
you,
madam
chair.
I'm
as
someone
who's
really
been
leading
the
work
around
the
oversized
vehicle
parking
regulations
trying
to
figure
that
out.
I'm
really
excited
to
see
this
in
there
as
as
we're
moving
forward
because,
as
was
stated,
we've
just
hit
such
a
roadblock,
no
pun
intended
with
being
able
to
address
this
issue.
It
felt
pretty
straightforward.
You
know
it's
like
all
right.
Our
streets
are
being
used
as
parking
lots,
semi-truck
parking
lots.
F
Let's
just
say
you
can't
do
that
and
then
easy
peasy,
because
other
suburban
jurisdictions
have
done
that
around
us.
Really
leaving
minneapolis
is
kind
of
like
the
last
place
where
it
was
possible
for
folks
to
park,
they're,
semi
trucks
and,
as
we
actually
started
digging
into
the
work
talking
to
the
learning
about
the
industry
learning
about
who
actually
is
who
are
the
drivers
and
it's
more
than
just
drivers.
F
They
actually
are
small
business
owners
and
like
that
is
their
business
as
as
contractors
and
other
things
of
the
sort,
and
we
want
it
to
be
really
intentional
that
we're
not
causing
harm
as
we
are
looking
at
supporting
more
bypass
small
businesses,
as
we
are
looking
to
create
real
wealth
building
opportunities
that
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
causing
harm
in
the
process.
F
So
this
wasn't
quite
as
easy
or
straightforward
as
we
went
into
it
thinking,
it
was
going
to
be,
unfortunately,
given
the
fact
that
we
are
the
largest
jurisdiction
in
in
the
area.
The
smaller
jurisdictions
were
able
to
make
those
bans
of
parking
and
kind
of
leading
us
to
having
to
address
this
broader
issue
and
come
to
find
out.
F
We
can't
really
do
it
because
it's
a
statewide
problem,
and
so
this
is
something
that
we
really
need
to
lean
into
the
state
about,
because
it
is
really
shocking
how
little
parking
space
there
is
actually
available
throughout
the
entire
state
of
minnesota,
but
particularly
particularly
here
in
the
metro
area.
We
just
do
not
have
a
lot
of
places
for
people
to
park
their
semi
trucks
and
that's
very
harmful
for
these
small
business
owners.
F
I
mean
the
when
we
had
the
community
meetings.
The
meetings
were
very
stark
in
the
demographics
who
showed
up,
and
it
was
very
like
overwhelmingly.
The
folks
who
showed
up
were
people
of
color
and
immigrants
who
who
drove
these
trucks
and
owned
their
own
small
businesses.
So
we
really
do
need
I.
I
know
it
can
kind
of
just
be
like.
F
Oh,
it's
semi
trucks
like
it's,
not
a
big
urgent
issue,
but
it
actually
is
if
we
are
thinking
about
it
within
the
context
of
building
wealth
within
by
poc
communities,
and
this
this
is
something
that
is
absolutely
falls
within
that
purview.
So
we
really
need
to
lean
into
the
state
to
do
their
job,
to
make
sure
that
we
have
enough
space
for
for
those
businesses
to
thrive.
Thanks.
O
Councilmember
cunningham
and
chair
jenkins,
thank
you
for
highlighting
that
we
absolutely
agree
and
we'll
be
putting
pressure
on
the
state
to
participate
in
this
regional
conversation
and
around
solutions.
O
Wonderful,
thank
you.
So
the
next
is
domestic
violence
and
assault
modifications.
O
Okay,
sorry
that
was
needed.
This
proposal
is
to
amend
two
minnesota
state
statutes
relating
related
to
strangulation.
The
first
is
to
enhance
the
penalty
from
a
misdemeanor
to
a
gross
misdemeanor
for
knowingly
or
having
reason
to
believe
a
family
member
member
or
household
whom
the
defendant
strangled
was
pregnant.
So
it's
to
enhance
that
penalty.
O
The
second
is
to
define
what
strangulation
is
and
that
it
is
intentionally
impeding
normal,
breathing
or
circulation
of
the
body
by
applying
pressure
on
the
neck,
the
throat
or
neck,
or
by
blocking
the
nose
or
mouth
of
another
person,
or
by
impeding
someone's
ability
to
breathe
by
laying
on
top
of
them
or
placing
pressure
on
their
chest
or
neck
without
using
their
hands
and
then
to
increase
that
penalty
to
a
felony
instead
and
the
yeah
we'll
be
working
on
this.
This
one
as
well.
A
And
then,
ms
moore,
we
have
another
question
from
councilmember
cunningham.
H
F
Doing
quite
a
lot
of
work,
so
my
apologies
for
for
speaking
so
much,
but
I
just
want
to
highlight
this,
because
research
clearly
demonstrates
that
strangulation
is
actually
the
number
one
predictor
for
domestic
homicide.
F
So
if
you
look
at
the
folks
who
are
killed
by
their
partners,
there's
at
least
one
typically
one
incident
of
strangulation
that
has
happened
in
the
past.
It
is
very
important
that
we
catch
this
early
and
that
we
hold
folks
accountable
for
calling
harmon
this
way.
It
is
the
number
one
predictor
of
domestic
homicide.
The
fact
that
it's
considered
a
misdemeanor
is
is
really
shocking,
given
the
fact
that
that
evidence
is
so
clear.
F
So
this
should
just
be
really
easy
and
straightforward,
and
I
would
say
more
broadly
that
you
know
this
is
this
is
one
part
of
it,
but
we
also
have
to
be
pushing
into
the
hospitals
the
ers
so
that
they
are
screening
folks
who
are
coming
in
with
injuries
with
maybe
miss
mysterious
injuries
that
they're
that
they're
screening
for
strangulation.
F
That,
like
we
need
there
are
actual
assessments
that
exist
for
hospitals
to
implement
in
ers,
so
that
they're
screening,
folks
who
particularly
women,
who
are
coming
in
with
mysterious
injuries
I
mean
strangulation,
can
lead
to
traumatic
brain
injury,
there's
all
sorts
of
long-term
consequences,
alongside
being
at
a
much
higher
risk
of
of
later
experience
being
a
victim
of
domestic
homicide.
F
This
is
a
small
but
critical
change.
That's
needed
to
at
least
reflect
the
urgency
of
addressing
this
particular
issue.
I
think
more
broadly,
we
have
to
be
thinking
about
perpetrator
interventions
as
well.
We
don't
want
to
just
criminalize
folks
without
giving
them
a
clear
pathway
of
changing
their
behaviors,
but
this
is
a
a
small
change
in
our
in
our
state
laws
that
will
reflect
the
seriousness
of
strangulation
in
in
regards
to
domestic,
particularly
with
domestic
violence.
F
So
I
just
really
wanted
to
pause
and
highlight
that,
because
there
are
very
few
things
that
we
can
like
literally
point
at
and
say
that's
the
number
one
predictor
of
that,
and
if
we
have
the
ability
to
save
lives
through
this
as
one
step,
then
we
need
to
take
that.
So.
Thank
you
very.
Very
much
for
including
this,
this
is
a
critical
change.
Thank
you.
O
Thank
you,
councilmember
cunningham
council.
Oh
chair,
chair
jenkins,
you
know
I
they're
definitely
good
credit
to
our
city
attorney's
office
because
they
were
the
ones
who
identified
this
as
a
critical
need
as
well
and
then.
Last
but
not
least,
it
is
the
fifth
degree
assault
modification.
O
So
this
policy
position
seeks
to
amend
a
statute
to
make
it
a
misdemeanor
to
intentionally
throw
or
otherwise
intentionally
transfer
bodily
fluids
or
feces
onto
another
person,
and
with
that
final
slide,
please,
which
is
essentially
just
to
provide
and
a
summation
of
what
the
next
steps
are
going
to
be
again,
I
think
in
in
the
past
city
staff,
whose
recommendations
are
whose
policy
positions
are
recommended
to
move
forward
are
the
ones
who
would
have
presented
these
to
to
the
council
and
it's
important
that
they
can't
all
be
here,
because
I
think
they
probably
have
done
a
much
better
job
of
explaining
the
context
than
I
did.
O
O
In
addition
to
that,
as
while
we
are
putting
together
that
2021
agenda,
I've
had
several
conversations
with
some
some
council
members
and
we
will
igr
will
be
putting
together
legislative
briefing
documents,
one
pager
that
will
be
utilized
that
highlight
some
of
these
top
priorities,
from
public
safety
to
housing
and
homelessness,
to
even
property
taxes,
because,
as
we
approach
the
2021
session,
while
we
have
a
surplus
now
and
just
in
the
instance
that
there
are
any
potential
cuts
that
we
may
need
to
save
off,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
arming
our
delegation
members
with
really
relevant
information
as
well.
O
So
at
the
next
council
meeting
you
will
be
able
to
track
those
those
changes
on
our
ledge
agenda
and
in
the
interim,
if
there
are
any
other
recommendations
or
ideas
that
council
members,
you
all
are
thinking
about.
Please
let
us
know-
and
I
have
I
have
taken
note
of
those
who
are
interested
in
and
the
the
proposals
that
they
are
excited
about
and
we'll
be
reaching
out
for
some
of
those
one-to-one
meetings
with
legislators.
A
Thank
you
so
much
ms
moore
and
ms
nessie
for
that
report
and
to
all
of
the
the
staff
who
who
work
to
pull
this
together
and
and
bring
these
policy
recommendations
to
the
for
ordinarily.
A
You
know
we
recognize
the
importance
of
this
work
and
we
have,
in
our
normal
committee
structure
committee
dedicated
to
this
work,
which
is
chaired
by
councilmember
johnson,
and
so
I'm
glad
he
put
himself
in
cue
as
I
was
going
to
offer
him
an
opportunity
to
to
speak
to
this
2021
legislative
agenda
and
policy
position
so
councilmember
johnson.
The
floor
is
yours.
Q
Thank
you,
madam
vice
president,
and
also
vice
chair
of
the
intergovernmental
relations
committee.
I
just
really
want
to
thank
director
moore
and
the
whole
igr
team
for
all
their
work
on
this.
It
really
is
such
a
massive
effort
working
with
every
department
working
with
our
legislative
delegation
working
with
outside
partners,
to
really
bring
forward
these
thoughtful
recommendations
that
add
to
this
body
of
work.
I
know
it's
no
easy
undertaking.
Q
It's
it's
one
of
these
things
where
it's
easy
to
look
at
igr
and
just
think
oh
they're,
really
busy
during
the
session.
Maybe
there's
a
down
time.
There
is
no
downtime
for
our
igr
team
and
they're
they're,
just
working
with
such
a
broad
group
to
build
consensus
around
this.
Also,
metro
cities,
league
of
minnesota
cities,
they're
very
engaged
with
and
tapped
into
those
conversations
as
well
in
helping
advance
policy
work,
not
just
through
our
legislative
agenda
but
through
the
legislative
agendas
of
these
other
organizations
as
well,
and
that
is
felt.
Q
It
makes
a
difference
in
those
legislative
agendas
and
ultimately
moves
policy,
important
policy
forward
at
a
state,
federal
level
and
funding
as
well,
and
so
just
very
thankful
for
all
the
teams
work
in
in
that
was
which
is
represented
in
all
of
this
and
very
much
looking
forward
to
continuing
working
together
as
we
both
pass
in
our
upcoming
council
meeting.
Q
The
updates
and
also,
as
we
work
on
a
public
safety
agenda
as
well
and
really
get
prepared
for
what
is
sure
to
be
a
very
busy
legislative
session
over
at
the
capitol
as
well.
So
thanks
again,
director
moore
and
allison
and
the
whole
rest
of
the
igr
team
and
everyone
involved
in
all
of
this
great
work.
A
Thank
you
so
much
councilmember
johnson
and
I
don't
see
any
other
council
members
in
queue
again.
Thank
you,
director,
moore
and
your
team
for
all
of
your
efforts
and
yes,
I
concur.
It
is
going
to
be
an
exciting
session
over
at
the
capitol
which
hasn't
really
ended
yet,
and
so
it'll
it'll
start
again
in
2021
and
continue
on
with
the
work
that
they
are
doing
there.
A
So,
thank
you
so
much
and
in
no
other
discussion
I
will
ask
the
clerk
to
file
that
report,
and
that
brings
us
to
our
last
discussion.
Item
number
15
is
a
resolution
stabilizing

services
in
the
city,
enterprise
and
ms
gogun
kayam
from

coordinator's
office
will
be
presenting
on
this
item.
R
Thank
you,
madam
chair
and
council
members.
My
name
is
google.
I'm
the
director
of
arts,
culture,
the
creative
economy
in
the
city
coordinator's
office,
I'm
here
to
present
on
the
resolution
to
stabilize
arts
and
culture
services
in
the
city
enterprise,
and
we
are
seeking
your
approval
of
this
revolution
resolution,
which
is
authored
by
council
members,
carno,
ellison
reich
and
council.
Vice
president
jenkins
next
slide.
Please
to
give
you
some
context
and
background
on
the
decision
before
you.
R
I
will
begin
today's
presentation
with
a
summary
of
the
staff
directions
issued
to
the
coordinator's
office
in
2019
to
reorganize
the
city,
arts
and
culture
work.
I
will
summarize
the
work
that
has
already
been
done
to
date
on
these
staff
directions,
and
then
I
will
review
the
main
points
of
the
proposed
resolution
before
you
next
slide.
Please.
R
First
I'll
start
with
the
brief
background
and
timeline
of
the
city's
arts.
Reorganization
work.
Oh
okay,
the
reorganization
of
the
city's
arts
work
began
in
july
2019
through
a
council
staff
direction
to
the
city
coordinators
office
council
directed
the
city
coordinator,
to
convene
a
work
group
with
the
task
to
review
and
assess
the
city's
body
of
arts
work
for
the
purposes
of
better
internal
alignment
and
the
acceleration
of
the
city's
arts
and
culture
policy,
priorities,
strategies
and
racial
equity
goals.
R
Unfortunately,
our
work
was
paused
in
march
due
to
the
covered
pandemic
and
the
need
for
city
staff
to
attend
to
the
health
and
economic
emergencies
that
came
as
a
result
of
the
governor's
order
to
shut
down
all
non-assented
and
non-essential
businesses.
R
R
The
task
of
the
work
group
was
to
create
a
set
of
recommendations
based
on
the
combined
findings
are,
and
the
data
gathered
in
the
audit
and
the
sort
of
analysis
next
slide.
Please,
this
slide
shows
at
a
very
high
level
the
the
the
audit,
which
is
much
more
detailed.
So
this
is
a
very
high
level
representation
of
the
city's
body
of
arts
work.
R
The
audit
looked
at
the
last
five
years
of
the
city's
art,
spend
and
showed
that
the
city
spent
in
arts
and
culture
is
dispersed
among
four
departments
and
in
eight
program
areas
with
the
highest
single
program
spend
coming
from
public
art
and
the
second
highest
from
public
works.
R
This
decentralization
was
seen
as
a
weakness
and
a
threat
in
our
swot
analysis.
Next
slide,
please.
This
is
another
high-level
version
of
the
document
that
we
created
from
the
internal
audit.
This.
What
analysis
was
developed
by
the
work
group
and
then
from
this
analysis,
four
areas
of
recommendation
emerged
and
these
were
presented
to
council
for
approval
in
november
2019.
R
The
number
one
recommendation
addressed
the
organization
of
arts
and
cultural
work
within
the
city
enterprise
and
recommended
consolidating
arts
and
culture
programs
to
create
a
new
stand-alone
department
or
division.
The
second
recommendation
focused
on
establishing
a
dedicated
revenue
stream
for
arts
and
cultural
investment
that
comes
from
outside
of
the
general
fund.
The
third
recommendation
addressed
minneapolis
neighborhoods
and
arts
enterprise
support.
R
This
is
just
a
summary
high
level
summary
of
the
work
completed
to
date.
We
identified
core
and
pro
core
and
support
services
of
this
new
division.
We
compiled
research
on
exemplar
and
peer
cities.
We
identified
peer
city,
ordinances
on
arts
departments
and
their
funding
streams.
We
compiled
research
on
economic
support
for
neighborhood
arts
and
culture,
festivals
and
after
the
initial
pause,
we
also
made
some
adjustments
to
the
swot
analysis.
R
R
They
also
provide
communities
and
neighborhoods
effective
methods
for
healing
community
engagement,
community
support
recovery
and
communication
with
government.
These
creative
resources
are
currently
being
mobilized
through
the
work
of
my
office
and
the
public
art
program
in
cped.
These
strategies
can
also
be
more
effectively
leveraged
by
the
city
as
a
resource
in
emergency
response
and
mitigation.
R
The
resolution
supports
consolidation
in
an
effort
to
reduce
duplication
and
redundancies
in
enterprise
services,
while
also
increasing
the
effective
implementation
of
city
policies,
consolidating
arts
and
culture
services
within
the
city.
Enterprise
is
the
first
step
in
the
broader
effort
to
better
centralize
and
coordinate
the
city's
arts
and
culture
investments,
especially
during
a
period
of
increased
demand.
R
Consolidating
arts
and
culture
work
allows
the
city
to
respond
more
effectively
and
efficiently
to
community
needs,
especially
in
times
of
crisis.
It
allows
the
city
to
better
consolidate
and
support
the
needs
of
the
creative
economy,
and
it
also
allows
clearer
visibility
and
increases
the
legibility
of
the
city's
arts
and
culture
services.
R
Finally,
consolidating
our
services
allows
the
city
to
more
effectively
mobilize
the
skills
and
resources
that
are
within
the
creative
sector
to
support
other
city,
racial
equity
priorities
around
public
safety,
community
healing
and
recovery
next
slide,
please
stabilizing
the
execution
and
delivery
of
arts
and
culture
services
begins
by
transitioning
to
fdes
in
arts
and
culture
and
the
creative
economy
currently
in
grant
funded
positions
onto
the
general
fund.
These
positions
are
set
to
expire
in
september
2021..
R
The
resolution
supports
this
also
supports
the
city's
operational
goal
of
the
retention
of
people
of
color
and
indigenous
people
in
the
city's
workforce.
The
two
fdes
in
arts
and
culture
and
the
creative
economy
are
people
of
color
and
provide
important
equity
work
for
and
within
communities
of
color.
These
two
fdes
manage
equity
related
programming
that
directly
serves
underserved
and
underrepresented
communities.
R
This
means
extending
the
delivery
date
of
the
existing
staff
direction
into
the
first
quarter
of
2121
and
then
delivering
additional
phases
throughout
2022
next
slide.
Please.
Thank
you,
madam
chair
council
members.
I
hope
this
provides
you
with
the
information
you
need
in
order
to
approve
the
resolution
before
you
I'm
happy
to
stand
for
any
questions
you
may
have.
A
Thank
you,
miss
kayam,
for
that
really
detailed
overview
of
a
very
extensive
process
that
myself
and
council
members,
ellison
and
reich
and
connell
have
been
working
with
with
you
and
and
your
team
in
the
coordinator's
office
to
to
come
up
with
this.
This
work
product
and
I
will
entertain
questions
from
my
colleagues.
However,
I
do
want
to
note
that
we're
being
pressed
for
time
there
is
another
committee
that
needs
to
meet
at
4
pm.
A
We
still
have
a
little
ways
to
go
on
our
agenda,
but
if
there
are
any
questions
or
comments,
please
please
direct
them
to
ms
kyam
or
myself
or
any
of
the
council
members
involved
in
this
resolution.
A
A
F
G
E
E
A
A
That
carries
and
that
motion
is
approved.
The
committee's
recommendation
will
be
boarded
to
the
friday's
city
council
meeting
for
final
action
and
there
is
a
comment
from
council
member.
J
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
know
we're
working
to
wrap
up
here.
I
I
did
just
I
should
have
mentioned
this
earlier.
You
know.
Obviously
this
does
include
a
a
budget
related
item
which
I
assume,
council
members
are
working
on
separately,
to
bring
through
the
budget
process
similar
to
how
we
took
a
policy
approach
to
neighborhoods
2020,
but
those
actions
still
need
to
be
carried
through
the
budget,
so
this
action
alone
did
not
just
amend
the
budget
to
transition.
J
The
staff
to
the
general
fund
is
my
understanding
and
that
that
would
we
would
likely
be
seeing
a
budget
amendment
for
that.
Maybe
that's
a
question
and
I
could
follow
up
as
well.
A
I
I
think
you
are
correct
and
maybe
we
can
ask
the
budget
chair
or
or
mr
intermil,
if
he's
available,
council
member
palmisano
do
you
have
a
response
to
that?
But
I
do
believe
you
are
correct
because
I've
never
been
there.
S
Yeah,
I
agree
with
you,
council
vice
president,
but
I'm
not
100
sure.
A
R
My
understanding
is
that
there
is
a
budget
amendment
that
will
come
before
you
during
markup,
whereby
the
funding
sources
will
be
identified.
We
were
unable
to
provide
them
for
this
presentation,
because
council
members
were
working
on
identifying
those
resources
so
that
that
will
be
up
for
your
consideration
in
the
markup.
J
That
makes
sense,
and
maybe
I'll
just
follow
up,
because
I
know
we're
pressed
for
time
just
about
you
know
if,
if
that
kind
of
budget
commitment
really
belongs
in
a
resolution
that
is
intended
to
sort
of
be
in
perpetuity
referencing
a
budget
decision
that
will,
you
know,
be
made
through
the
budget
process
so
anyway,
I'm
happy
to
follow
up.
I
don't
want
to
belabor
this,
because
I
know
there's
a
lot
of
support
for
this
work
so,
but
just
just
needing
needing
to
make
sure
that
the
follow-up
around
the
budget
is
is
happening.
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
bender,
and
so
now
we
will
move
to
and
thank
you,
miss,
kyam
and
and
all
of
the
other
council
members
and
staff
who
have
been
involved
in
this
very
lengthy
and
and
detailed
process
to
to
bring
this
work
forward
and
there's
still
quite
a
bit
of
work
to
do
in
in
2021.
But
we
continue
to
move
forward.
A
And
so
now
we
will
move
to
our
standing
committee
reports
and
please,
let's
be
succinct
so
that
we
can
allow
time
to
reset
for
the
next
meeting
after
this
one
and
we'll
start
with
the
budget
committee
report
given
by
chair
of
homicide.
S
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
