I
C
B
B
That
carries
and
the
consent
agenda
is
approved
and
number
10
on
our
agenda
is
a
report
from
the
office
of
the
city,
clerk
relating
to
the
plans
and
preparations
for
the
2020
presidential
general
election.
Mr
kirk
will,
mr
carl,
the
city
clerk
will
be
presenting
this
report,
and
I
will
invite
mr
carl
to
give
that
presentation.
B
J
J
May
it
please,
the
committee,
I'm
here,
as
you
noted,
to
report
on
our
final
plans
and
preparations
to
ensure
that
all
voters
have
equitable,
safe
and
secure
access
to
the
ballot
box
for
the
2020
presidential
election.
I
will
remind
everyone,
especially
those
who
apparently
are
living
under
a
rock,
that
the
presidential
election
is
next
tuesday
november
3rd,
and
that's
just
six
days
from
now.
J
It's
been
widely
reported
in
all
media
outlets
that
americans
are
voting
in
unprecedented
levels
this
year,
taking
advantage
of
early
voting
periods
that
are
authorized
under
various
state
election
laws
in
the
50
states
in
the
district
of
columbia.
We
are
certainly
seeing
that
same
level
of
strong
participation
here
across
minnesota,
and
especially
here
in
the
city
of
minneapolis,
in
this
presentation,
I'd
like
to
summarize
and
provide
some
context
for
the
turnout
that
we
have
experienced
in
minneapolis
with
respect
to
our
early
voting.
J
I'll
also
briefly
highlight
some
of
our
outreach
and
communications
initiatives
that
we've
undertaken
this
year
and
then
I'll
focus
on
plans
for
election
day.
I'll
particularly
highlight
some
security
details
that
are
in
place
to
assure
all.
Voters
have
a
safe
experience
at
our
polls.
I'll
conclude
by
talking
about
results,
reporting
and
the
days
that
follow
once
polls
close
on
election
night
and
then
I'll
be
happy
to
address
any
questions
that
the
committee
might
have
with
six
days
until
election
day.
B
J
Far
exceeds
the
58.3
million
who
voted
early
in
2016's
presidential
election,
but
I
did
check
my
sources
today,
just
to
make
sure
that
I
was
correct
and
that
66
million
voters
is
incorrect.
As
of
this
morning.
The
correct
data
is
that
73
million
249
578
americans
have
voted
early.
That's
53
percent
of
the
total
ballots
that
were
cast
in
the
2016
presidential
election
here
in
minnesota.
J
We
have
voters
who
have
already
cast
ballots.
That
totals
one
million
one
hundred
eighty
six
thousand
five
hundred
twenty
two,
as
reported
by
secretary
of
state
steve
simon
in
hennepin
county.
That
number
is
349
475,
which
is
69
of
all
of
the
ballots
we've
issued
out
that
have
been
returned
and
in
minneapolis
that
number
is
134
voters
who
have
already
participated.
J
So
the
map
shown
on
this
slide,
which
was
produced
by
the
associated
press,
is
current
with
data
through
this
past
monday
october
26th.
So,
as
I
just
reported,
this
data
is
already
old,
but
what
you
see
here
is
that
the
states
colored
in
orange
are
states
where
they
have
had
more
early
votes
in
2020
than
they
did
in
2016.
At
this
point
and
among
those
20
states,
colored
in
orange
you'll
see
the
state
of
minnesota,
which
shows
we
have
had
an
increase
of
more
than
150
percent
compared
to
2016..
J
This
level
of
early
voter
turnout
puts
the
united
states
on
a
trajectory
to
potentially
set
new
records
for
participation,
maybe
even
beating
the
total
turnout
that
we
achieved
in
1908's
presidential
election.
The
highest
ever
achieved
that
year,
65
of
all
eligible
voters
in
the
nation
participated
in
that
election.
J
Among
the
most
trusted
predictions
are
those
that
are
produced
by
michael
mcdonald.
He
is
the
professor
at
the
university
of
florida
and
the
mastermind
behind
the
us
elections
project,
which
is
a
national
turnout,
tracking
database,
that's
considered
by
election
officials,
academics
and
pundits
alike
to
be
a
prime
trusted
source
of
information.
J
It's
his
data
that
I
pulled
this
morning
to
show
that
more
than
73
million
americans
have
already
voted.
Last
year
in
2019,
professor
mcdonald
predicted
that
150
million
voters
would
participate
in
the
2020
presidential
election
and
again
that
would
put
us
on
a
trajectory
to
rival
the
1908
record.
Most
recently,
professor
mcdonald
has
said
that
the
strong
and
steady
early
turnout
that
we've
already
experienced
has
caused
him
to
reconsider
his
original
prediction.
He
now
thinks
those
original
predictions
were
too
low.
J
Professor
mcdonald
has
indicated
that
this
incredible
turnout
is
driven
in
large
part
by
exceptional
early
participation
from
young
voters.
This
is
a
group
that
has
not
had
nearly
the
kind
of
impact
in
previous
elections,
but
in
2020
the
voters
between
the
ages
of
20,
18
and
29
are
turning
out
in
a
very,
very
big
way.
J
J
It
has
identified
some
of
the
quote:
unquote
battleground
states,
including
minnesota,
and,
as
shown
on
this
slide,
you
can
see
total
youth
turnout
has
skyrocketed
in
2016.
Youth
turnout
in
minnesota
was
9531
ballots.
The
larger
line
above
that
as
compared
to
the
117
544
youth
votes
that
have
already
been
cast
through
october
21st.
In
minnesota,
that's
an
increase
of
more
than
a
thousand
percent
and
according
to
circle,
minnesota
has
led
the
nation
for
young
voter
turnout
in
the
last
two
election
cycles
and
is
poised
to
do
so
again
in
2020..
J
It's
this
strong
turnout
amongst
young,
new,
first-time
and
infrequent
voters.
That
is
leading
many
analysts
to
predict
that
more
than
150
million
ballots
could
be
cast
in
2020.
according
to
one
analysis
by
the
associated
press.
This
group
is
one
of
the
most
racially
diverse
voting
blocs
in
the
nation's
history
and
according
to
the
brookings
institute
census.
Data
shows
that
the
youth
vote
now
that
includes
millennials
and
some
members
of
the
generation
z.
J
J
Of
course,
it
remains
to
be
seen
how
the
youth
vote
will
equalize
out
in
the
final
tabulation
of
all
of
our
ballots,
but
heading
into
election
day.
The
level
of
participation
by
young
voters
and
this
demographic
is
very
impressive
and
possibly
a
game
changer.
B
J
We
do
maintain
that
count,
madam
vice
president,
and,
as
you
noted
it
changes
from
as
unregistered
voters
register
in
order
to
cast
their
ballots
as
of
august
20
or
I'm
sorry
october
26th.
As
of
1026,
the
total
number
of
registered
voters
in
minneapolis
was
272
573.
J
J
This
data
reflects
all
the
ballots
we've
received
for
the
entire
early
vote
election
period,
which
began
friday
september
18th,
and
it
is
current
through
last
night
october
27th.
As
I
said,
the
next
few
slides
will
slice
and
dice
this
same
data
in
various
ways
in
order
to
provide
context
on
what
this
level
of
participation
means
for
the
city
of
minneapolis.
J
J
The
green
line
shows
the
turnout
for
this
year's
election
and,
as
you
can
see,
almost
from
the
first
day,
those
lines
have
been
diverging.
However,
at
about
day
seven
of
the
early
voting
period,
that
turnout
in
2020
began
to
shoot
up
and
it
has
kept
going
day
after
day
creating
what
is
a
significant
growing
wedge
between
the
turnout
for
the
two
years.
J
On
this
slide,
what
we've
done
is
show
you
the
two
date:
turnout
from
2020,
again
134
248,
absentee
ballots
in
comparison
to
the
total
number
of
all
ballots
cast,
whether
early
or
on
election
day
in
each
presidential
election
from
2000
through
2016.,
and
as
you
can
see,
the
2020
data
reflects
that
more
than
half
of
the
votes
cast
in
all
of
those
prior
years.
Elections
is
passed
already
in
2020
and
in
some
cases,
by
some
fairly
significant
margins.
J
I
say
that
this
next
slide,
this
tracks,
total
turnout
in
presidential
elections
back
just
a
little
bit
further
to
1988,
so
that
gives
us
almost
three
decades
worth
of
presidential
election
data
to
to
analyze
and,
as
you
can
see
again,
the
turnout
this
year
in
2020,
which
is
shown
in
orange,
is
almost
equal
to
the
total
number
of
votes
that
were
cast
in
the
entire
1996
presidential
election
and
when
comparing
our
turnout
data
thus
far
to
the
2016
presidential
election,
which
I'll
note
was
our
highest
record
until
this
year,
we're
already
over
61
percent
of
the
total
turnout
from
four
years
ago
and
again,
we
have
six
days
left
to
go
during
early
voting,
and
then
this
will
be
my
last
data
slide.
J
I
promise
in
some
ways
I
think
it's
the
most
important
because
on
this
slide,
we're
actually
providing
some
insight
into
what
our
total
potential
turnout
might
be.
This
entire
pie
chart
reflects
all
of
the
ballots
that
have
been
issued
by
elections
and
voter
services
during
the
early
vote
period.
As
you
know,
in
minnesota,
we
do
not
send
out
ballots,
except
in
response
to
a
voter's
request.
J
So
what
this
entire
pie
chart
is
showing
is
the
total
number
of
absentee
ballot
requests
that
we've
received,
and
then
we
have
issued
a
ballot
out
in
response
during
the
early
voting
period.
Thus
far,
the
colored
parts
of
this
chart
represent
the
completed
absentee
ballots
that
have
been
returned
back
to
election
headquarters,
and
they
are
sorted
here
by
color
into
our
three
primary
categories
in
blue.
What
you
see
is
the
total
number
of
vote
by
mail
ballots
that
have
been
returned
to
us.
J
That
leaves
the
gray
slice
on
this
chart
and
what
that
represents.
Those
48
000,
some
absentee
ballots
are
ballots
that
have
been
issued
out,
but
we
have
not
received
a
response.
Yet
it's
almost
27
of
our
total
number
of
ballots
issued
to
date
and
based
on
trends
that
we've
analyzed
over
the
last
two
elections.
We
would
anticipate
that
about
half
of
those
ballots
will
be
returned
and
completed.
I
should
say
and
return
to
us
before
election
day.
J
The
remainder
we
do
not
expect
to
have
before
election
day
so
based
on
those
prior
experiences
and
our
analysis
of
those
remaining
ballots
shown
in
that
stacked
chart
there.
The
lighter
gray
is
about
25
000,
actually,
almost
26
000
ballots
about
14
percent
of
the
total
we've
issued,
but
not
received
back
yet,
and
the
in
black
is
shown
at
22
802
about
almost
13
percent
of
the
ballots.
We've
issued
that
we
would
not
expect
to
get
back.
J
However,
if
that
projected
scenario
plays
out
where
we
get
back
the
14.2
percent,
the
25
968
ballots.
If
we
were
to
issue
no
more
ballots
for
the
rest
of
the
six
days
of
the
early
voting
period,
and
we
got
all
of
those
back,
it
would
mean
that
minneapolis
would
collect
160
216
absentee
ballots
this
year,
and
that
would
be
almost
equal
to
the
total
number
of
ballots
cast
in
the
1996
presidential
election
and
would
equate
to
73
total
turnout
from
the
2016
presidential
election.
So
again,
huge
on
this
slide.
J
We're
showing
that
since
2013
minneapolis
our
elections
and
voter
services,
team
has
undergone
a
central
component
of
each
election
being
our
voter
outreach
and
ballot
access
program.
This
is
to
help
us
ensure
that
all
of
our
voters
are
what
we
call
election
ready,
and
it
includes
a
number
of
initiatives
to
engage
target
populations
in
the
community
and
each
year.
J
We
also,
as
you
know,
provide
a
voter
information
guide
that
is
delivered
to
every
residence
in
the
city
and
that
voter
information
guide
provides
details
about
each
election
for
both
registered
and
non-registered
voters
who
are
potentially
eligible
to
register
and
participate
this
year.
For
the
first
time,
I'm
very
pleased
to
say
that
our
voter
guide
was
produced
not
just
in
english,
but
also
in
our
other.
Our
city's
other
primary
languages
hmong
somali
and
spanish
and
all
of
those
are
available
and
posted
from
our
website.
J
We've
also
promoted
voting
options
through
radio
programming,
we've
leveraged
both
paid
and
earned
media
to
highlight
key
dates
within
the
election
timeline.
We've
participated
in
outreach
to
neighborhood
organizations
and
we've
benefited
from
some
of
our
long-standing
community
partners,
as
well
as
some
new
partnerships.
This
year
we
have
plans
to
employ,
train
and
deploy
more
than
2500
seasonal
and
temporary
workers,
deputy
clerks
election
judges,
sergeant-at-arms
and
others.
For
this
year's
general
election.
It
is
a
major
undertaking
and
it
requires
the
participation
of
every
single
city
department
and
division
to
make
it
a
success.
J
But
as
a
result
of
these
efforts,
we've
planned
to
operate
three
early
vote
centers
for
this
year's
general
election,
two
of
those
opened
just
yesterday,
one
in
north
minneapolis
and
one
in
south
minneapolis.
In
addition
to
our
election
headquarters
at
980,
hennepin
avenue
east.
We
are
also
operating
a
total
of
13
ballot
drop-off
sites
and
that's
a
first
for
us.
J
And
finally,
I
would
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
also
recognize
one
of
our
strongest
and
most
important
partnerships
and
that's
the
city,
council
and
mayor
the
city's
elected
policy
makers.
Year
after
year.
We've
had
the
strongest
support
from
you
to
make
some
big,
even
bold
plans
to
serve
voters
and
we
do
it
in
many
ways.
J
We've
set
industry
standards,
for
example,
with
our
nationally
award-winning
student
election
program,
our
voter
outreach
and
education
programming,
and
more
and
many
of
my
colleagues
across
the
nation
are
always
impressed
with
what
we're
doing
and
they
ask
how
we're
able
to
do
so
much
each
year
and
my
answer
is
always
the
same.
Our
policymakers
put
a
premium
on
the
importance
of
elections.
It's
not
just
empty
rhetoric.
J
J
At
this
point,
I'd
like
to
switch
and
start
highlighting
election
day
and
talk
about
options
that
voters
have
on
election
day
five
days
from
today,
six
days
from
today,
and
what
that
means
for
them.
Of
course,
most
significantly
is
voting
at
the
polls
on
election
day,
as
shown
here
and
consistent
with
state
law.
J
First,
given
the
number
of
consolidations
and
changes
made
in
our
polling
places
this
year,
we
strongly
encourage
folks
to
check
and
confirm
the
location
of
their
assigned
polling
place.
Since
it's
probable
that
we've
had
a
change.
Our
website
does
provide
a
direct
link
to
the
secretary
of
state's
polling
place
lookup
system.
So
all
voters
can
make
use
of
that
tool
to
confirm
the
site
where
they
should
go
on
election
day
to
cast
their
ballot.
J
Secondly,
we
strongly
encourage
all
voters
to
access
their
sample
ballot
from
our
website
and
review
that
sample
ballot
before
heading
out
to
the
polls.
The
sample
ballot
is
an
exact
replica
of
the
official
ballot.
Voters
will
be
given
in
the
polling
place,
and
so
it's
something
that
voters
can
do
to
download
their
ballot
and
fill
it
out
as
if
it
were
the
official
ballot.
It
will
give
them
confidence
because
they
can
take
it
with
them
to
the
polling
place
as
a
guide
in
marking
their
official
ballot.
That
does
two
things.
J
At
this
point,
I'd
like
to
address
the
safety
and
security
of
our
polling
places,
I
appreciate
that
this
is
the
subject
of
concern
to
voters
and
policy
makers
alike.
Voting
is,
of
course,
the
foundation
to
our
democracy.
Both
federal
and
state
laws
make
clear
that
voter
intimidation
and
suppression
are
crimes.
Our
attorney
general
has
made
clear
that
he
will
vigorously
pursue
such
claims
and,
in
fact,
as
this
council
is
aware,
the
attorney
general
recently
successfully
prevented
an
out-of-state
private
sector
security
agency
from
sending
ex-military
personnel
to
minnesota
polls
to
provide
protection
to
our
polling
places.
J
My
point
in
these
next
few
slides
is
to
provide
a
high
level
description
of
the
arrangements
that
minneapolis
has
in
place
to
ensure
the
security
of
our
polling
places.
This
slide
shows
a
polling
place
which
is
depicted
in
yellow
located
inside
a
building
which
is
the
blue
square.
On
this
slide
under
minnesota
election
law.
The
facility
in
which
a
polling
place
is
located
is
surrounded
by
a
100
foot
buffer
zone.
J
That
buffer
zone
is
important
because
it's
intended
to
provide
all
voters
the
ability
to
enter
and
exit
the
polling
place,
free
from
electioneering
and
politicking,
undo,
attempts
to
influence
or
harass
or
even
intimidation
tactics
or
outright
efforts
to
suppress
voters.
Again,
I
want
to
emphasize
that
such
activities
are
both
federal
and
state
crimes.
J
One
of
the
resources
that
we
are
using
this
year
again
for
the
third
time
to
help
us
is
a
position
called
the
sergeant-at-arms.
The
title
here
is
a
little
bit
misleading.
These
folks
are
not
law
enforcement
officers.
Nor
are
they
armed.
These
folks
are
really
providing
security
through
what
I
call
the
lens
of
voter
service,
a
better
model
to
explain
it
might
be
a
greeter
at
walmart.
These
sergeant-at-arms
are
stationed
outside
of
the
polling
place
and
they
have
essentially
three
duties.
J
First,
as
they
see
an
individual
approaching
the
polling
place,
their
job
is
to
ascertain
that
they
are,
in
fact
a
voter
who
is
coming
in
to
vote
after
confirming
that
they
are
there
to
vote.
They'll
help
make
sure
the
voters
in
the
right
place
again.
We've
had
several
changes
and
consolidations,
so
one
of
their
jobs
is
to
make
sure
to
offer
that
friendly
service
of
saying
you're
here
to
vote.
Let's
make
sure
you're
in
the
right
place,
assuming
they
are
there
to
vote
and
they're
in
the
right
place.
J
J
This
slide
attempts
to
illustrate
this
strong
network
of
what
I'm
calling
allies
that
are
helping
to
secure
our
elections
at
each
of
our
polling
places.
We
have
a
team
of
experienced
election
judges
and
at
least
one
sometimes
more
sergeant-at-arms,
all
operating
under
the
supervision
of
a
head
election
judge.
That's
shown
in
the
dark
sphere
on
the
left
side
of
this
slide.
J
All
of
these
election
judges
and
the
sergeant-at-arms
are
there
to
serve
the
voters
outside
of
the
polling
place,
of
course,
and
outside
of
that
buffer
zone.
That
we
talked
about.
Voters
are
served
behind
the
scenes
by
a
team
of
city
departments,
and
that
includes,
of
course,
local
law
enforcement,
as
well
as
our
peer
agencies
at
the
county,
state
and
federal
levels
of
government.
J
This
slide
shows
sort
of
how
we're
operating
to
ensure
security,
to
help
unify
all
of
that
coordination
with
all
of
our
city
departments
and
to
streamline
our
connections
to
county
state
and
federal
agencies.
The
city's
emergency
operations
center
will
be
activated
and
it
will
allow
us
to
have
a
central
coordinating
agency
to
monitor,
to
respond
to
and
report
about
election
day.
This
slide
illustrates
how
that
center
is
organized
at
the
bottom
of
the
slide,
which
you
can
see
are
nine
precincts
each
served
by
a
polling
place
that
are
all
within
one
council
ward.
J
Each
of
these
precincts,
as
I
said
shown
in
blue,
are
under
the
supervision
of
a
head
election
judge.
Each
ward
has
a
precinct
support,
judge
that's
identified
here
by
the
orange
dot.
The
precinct
support
judges
are
a
team
of
our
most
experienced
judges
who
act
as
election
headquarters
lieutenants
in
the
field
on
election
day.
They
move
between
all
of
the
precincts
on
election
day
to
provide
additional
assistance
and
resources
as
needed,
or
to
just
help
support
the
head
election
judge
in
all
of
those
precincts
on
any
challenges
or
issues.
J
J
This
slide
summarizes
other
options
that
are
available
for
voters
on
election
day
to
return
their
ballots
if
they
choose
not
to
go
to
a
polling
place.
Primarily,
these
options
involve
the
return
of
completed
absentee
mail
ballots.
We
will
keep
all
13
of
our
ballot
drop-off
sites
open
on
election
day
from
7
a.m,
to
3
p.m.
In
order
to
allow
voters
to
return
their
completed
mail
ballots
in
person,
if
they
choose
to
do
so,
but
here
it
is
very
important
for
me
to
point
out
that
completed
mail
ballots
cannot
can
not
be
returned
to
the
polls.
J
J
The
time
period
to
designate
an
agent
has
already
opened
and
voters
can
send
their
agents
to
collect
their
ballots
for
them
from
our
elections
headquarters
office
at
980,
hennepin,
avenue,
east
there's
a
special
note
here,
and
that
is
that
the
deadline
for
both
designating
and
for
returning
completed
ballots
through
an
agent
is
election
day.
So,
as
I
said,
the
period
for
designating
agent
has
already
opened,
but
it
closes
at
2
pm
on
election
day.
J
If
you
haven't
designated
designated
an
agent
by
2
pm
on
election
day,
you
cannot
use
agent
delivery
and
you
must
have
any
ballots
returned
by
an
agent
returned
to
our
elections
headquarters
by
3
pm
on
election
day.
Finally,
a
voter
can
use
a
parcel
delivery
service,
such
as
fedex
or
ups
to
return
a
completed
mail
ballot
to
our
elections
headquarters
by
8
pm.
That's
the
same
time
that
polls
close
on
election
night
to
our
elections
headquarters.
The
details
for
all
of
these
options
are
posted
to
our
elections
website.
J
J
612-692-8477
from
a
volume
of
calls
that
don't
need
to
be
addressed
to
9-1-1,
so
those
are
the
three
general
numbers
to
share
with
everyone
in
the
community
as
we
go
into
election
day
in
the
days
that
follow,
but
for
voters
on
election
day
or
even
in
our
early
voting
locations
or
ballot
drop-offs
for
actual
concerns
of
harassment
and
intimidation
or
threat.
The
best
thing
a
voter
can
do
is
to
immediately
contact
the
head
election
judge
in
that
poll
or
any
member
of
the
judge
team
and
ask
for
assistance.
J
That
is
the
primary
job
of
the
head.
Election
badge
in
all
of
our
polling
places
is
to
provide
that
level
of
voter
care
and
service,
and
so
any
voter
who
has
questions,
concerns
or
claims
about
their
rights
to
vote
about
threats
of
intimidation
or
actual
threats
should
be
immediately
directed
to
the
head
election
judge,
who
will
either
address
and
resolve
them
or
escalate
them
to
the
appropriate
source.
J
The
final
number
I
want
to
highlight
here
is
shown
in
red,
and
that
is
a
number
we
would
promote
for
any
voter
who
has
concerns
about
the
integrity
of
our
election
or
any
questions
or
concerns.
They
don't
feel
comfortable
talking
about
to
an
election
judge.
Please
call
the
election
protection
hotline,
the
elections
and
voter
services
division
works
very
closely
with
election
protection
every
year.
In
fact,
just
this
week
we
met
with
them
to
share
our
plans
and
and
talk
about
our
preparations.
J
We
also
work
with
other
good
government
groups,
like
the
league
of
women,
voters
and
common
cause,
to
make
sure
that
they
know
our
plans
and
we
know
theirs.
I
would
highly
encourage
voters
who
have
questions
about
the
integrity
of
the
election
or
anything
that
they're,
not
sure
of.
If
you
aren't
comfortable
speaking
to
an
election
judge,
please
do
call
election
protections
hotline,
that's
1-866
our
vote.
They
work
with
our
elections
and
voter
services
division
to
make
sure
that
those
calls
are
routed
to
us
so
that
we
can
respond.
J
Finally,
I
want
to
review
how
reports
will
be
reported
or
results
will
be
reported
on
election
night
after
polls
close
at
8
pm
and
after
all,
voters
who
are
in
line
at
that
time
have
been
served.
The
results
from
each
precinct
will
be
reported
to
hennepin
county.
The
results
of
the
precinct
are
posted
as
the
election
judges
are
transmitting.
Those
polling
place
results
to
the
county
elections
headquarters
at
the
same
time
is
also
transmitting
to
the
county.
J
Our
results
from
all
of
the
absentee
ballots
that
we've
been
collecting
the
county
merges
election
day
precinct
based
votes
with
all
of
the
absentee-based
votes
tied
to
that
precinct
and
once
they've,
combined
and
consolidated
those
two
data
sets.
They
upload
that
to
the
secretary
of
state's
website.
That
address
is
shown
here,
and
polls
are
reported
as
they
become
available
to
the
public.
That
process
will
continue
until
all
precincts
across
the
state
have
been
reported
and
posted
to
that
website.
J
Of
course,
it's
important
to
remember
that
these
results
are
unofficial
and
under
the
consent,
decree
that's
currently
in
place
jurisdictions
will
continue
to
accept
any
mail
ballots
postmarked
by
november
3rd
up
until
november
10th.
So
those
revolt,
those
results,
will
change
as
a
result
of
that
additional
processing
time,
and
that
shows
that
the
election
is
working
consistent
with
state
law.
We
anticipate,
we
will
be
conducting
the
canvassing
and
certification
of
results
at
the
local
level
on
friday
november
13th.
J
At
that
point,
the
results
become
official.
We
understand
the
state
anticipates
completing
its
certification
of
statewide
results
by
november
24th.
Then,
because
this
is
a
presidential
election
year,
the
state's
presidential
electors
will
convene
on
december
14th
to
cast
official
ballots
for
president
and
vice
president.
J
This
slide,
as
I
said,
provides
the
address
for
the
secretary
of
state's
website,
where
our
initial
unofficial
results
will
be
reported
on
election
night
with
that,
madam
vice
president,
I've
completed
my
prepared
comments
about
our
final
plans
for
the
2020
presidential
election.
I
appreciate
this
opportunity
to
share
with
policymakers
and
the
public
all
that
we
have
done
to
prepare
for
a
good
election
next
tuesday.
Of
course,
I'm
happy
to
respond
to
any
questions
that
members
might
have.
B
Thank
you,
mr
carl,
for
that
very
comprehensive
and
encouraging
report.
Kudos
feels
inadequate
to
express
the
gratitude
for
the
work
of
yourself
and
and
all
the
elections
team.
B
I
I
know
that
people
have
been
working
for
months
and
months
and
months
to
ensure
that
we
have
a
safe
and
secure
election
cycle
and
and
we've
had
a
little
practice
up
to
this
point,
which
has
gone
extremely
well
and
certainly
in
these
challenging
times
of
a
global
pandemic,
as
well
as
subsequent
uprisings.
That
could
in
fact
impact
our
elections.
B
B
J
Yes,
madam
vice
president,
and
in
accordance
with
long-standing
policy
that
this
council
has
established
back
in
2014.
In
fact,
we
are
open
to
serve
voters
in
the
final
two
weeks
before
the
general
election
from
7
a.m,
to
6
p.m,
on
weekdays
and
in
the
two
saturdays
leading
to
election
day,
we're
open
from
nine
to
four
and
on
sundays
from
noon
till
five
pm
and
then
the
last
day
for
early
voting
is
of
course
the
monday
before
election
day
november.
B
Well,
I'm
going
to
reserve
congratulations
until
after
the
election.
However,
I
I
do
want
to
just
note
and
lift
up
the
incredible
amount
of
effort
that
has
gone
into
developing
this.
B
C
C
I
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
thank
you,
mr
carl.
I
really
appreciate
all
of
your
work
and
the
entire
team's
work.
I
know
it's
a
huge
undertaking
and
it
involves
so
many
people
and
we're
just
very
grateful
for
that.
I
do
have
a
question
about
the
mail-in
ballots.
I
know
that
there's
been
tests
of
the
system
done
and
that
the
recommendation
was
for
people
to
have.
I
believe
it
was
on
either
monday
or
tuesday
was
the
recommendation.
They
kind
of
get
the
ballots
in
if
you're
going
to
mail
them
in.
I
That
was
the
drop
off
date
that
we
just
recommended.
If
it's
after
that
drop
them
off
at
one
of
the
ballot
drop-off
locations.
Do
you
have
any
sense?
I
know
there's
this
legal
challenge
to
minnesota,
accepting
ballots
that
were
postmarked
by
election
day
and
counting
them
days
later,
once
they've
been
received,
and
obviously
the
supreme
court
ruled
in
wisconsin
they
actually
tossed
the
ability
of
wisconsin
to
be
able
to
count
those
ballots
that
were
mailed
on
election
day,
but
then
received
days
later.
I
There's
a
lawsuit
now
happening
related
to
our
our
state.
Related
to
that,
and
do
you
have
any
indication
or
sense
of
how
likely
our
current
deadlines
are
to
be
upheld?
Obviously
I
know
it's
tricky.
I
I
don't
want
to
put
you
in
a
spot
necessarily
to
speculate
legally
on
this,
but
I
guess
is
there
some
sort
of
indication
for
voters,
because
I
think
for
a
lot
of
people,
that's
pretty
concerning
that
this
late
in
the
game
they've
been
instructed
that
hey
their
ball
will
count
as
long
as
they
mail
it
in
on
election
day
and
it's
received
within
I
believe,
seven
days
and
then
to
find
out
that
that
might
actually
not
be
the
case.
I
I
know
it
seems
like
it's
generating
a
lot
of
confusion,
a
lot
of
concern
and
was
wondering
if
you
could
maybe
help
put
people's
minds
at
ease
around
that
and
then
because
of
that
challenge,
should
we,
as
council
members,
really
be
utilizing
our
resources,
our
our
networks,
to
really
encourage
people?
If
you
still
got
a
mail
ballot,
do
not
mail
it
in
at
this
point,
you
should
really
just
do
the
ballot
drop
off,
but
do
not
put
in
the
mail.
J
Madam
vice
president
to
council
member
johnson's
points
I'm
going
to
start
with
the
reverse.
Yes,
policymakers
should
match
our
messaging
right
now,
which
is
don't
don't
rely
on
the
postal
service.
You
can,
if
you
wish,
I
can't
say
don't,
but
at
this
point
in
the
process
we
advise
seven
days
before
an
election.
You
need
to
be
putting
your
completed
ballot
into
the
mail
back
to
us.
It's
past
that
seven
day
period
each
day
past
that
seven
day
period
is
a
window.
J
J
So
what
we're
doing
right
now
is
pushing
the
messaging
to
voters
to
bring
your
mail
ballots
to
us
at
any
of
our
13
ballot
drop-off
sites.
They
are
open
every
single
day,
including.
This
is
why
we
made
the
decision
as
a
backup
on
election
day.
Normally,
we
would
not
have
ballot
drop-off
sites
open
on
election
day.
J
I
would
ask
if
the
technical
team
can
pull
back
up
slide
nine.
I
just
want
to
revisit
this
slide,
because
this
is
that
pie
chart
that
I
showed
you
in
minnesota
because
you
can
register
and
get
your
ballot
at
any
point,
there's
not
a
hard
number.
But
what
encourages
me
here
is
that
gray
slice
I
said
of
the
pie
shown
here
is
the
number
of
ballots
we
sent
out
that
we
don't
have
back.
J
We
would
expect
we're
going
to
get
back
either
through
the
mail
or
a
ballot
drop-off
about
half
a
little
more
than
half
in
that
lighter
gray,
shade
in
the
stacked
bar
chart.
It's
it's
the
number
that's
in
black,
the
22
000
that,
based
on
past
years,
we
probably
won't.
However,
I
really
quick
want
to
point
out
that
doesn't
mean
that
those
voters
didn't
go
to
the
polls
and
vote
right.
We
don't
have
an
ability
to
track
that
data.
This
is
people
who
requested
a
mail
ballot,
but
for
one
reason
another
didn't
return
it.
J
In
some
cases.
It's
highly
probable
that
those
voters
just
said
I'm
going
to
the
polling
place
and
casting
my
ballot
in
person.
So,
of
course,
all
voters
still
have
that
option
as
well
and
given
the
significant
turnout
we've
received
during
early
voting
this
year,
our
polls
are
likely
not
to
be
overwhelmed
with
long
lines
and
delayed
waiting
times
so
election
day
is
a
good
option
for
folks
who
might
have
waited
too
long
to
return
a
mail
ballot.
If
that
is
an
option
they
like
to
pursue.
J
I
B
Thank
you,
councilman
cunningham,.
E
Thank
you,
madam
vice
president,
and
thank
you,
mr
clerk
always
much
much
appreciated.
This
is
an
incredibly
high
stress
election.
E
E
It's
one
of
the
things
that,
as
an
elected
official
as
a
policy
maker,
that
I
don't
have
to
carry
that
burden
on
my
shoulders
that
I
have
to
clear
barriers
for
my
constituents
to
be
able
to
participate
in
our
democracy,
and
that
is
a
huge
deal.
So
thank
you
for
your
leadership.
Thank
you
to
your
team
for
all
of
their
hard
work.
One
of
the
reasons
why
this
election
is
so
high
stress
is
because
there's
a
ton
of
misinformation
out
there
right
related
to
the
election
itself,
particularly
to
voting.
E
So
can
you
please
just
for
the
public
to
understand.
Can
you
explain
the
how
voting
by
mail
is
a
legitimate
form
of
voting
and
what
kind
of
per
like
parameters
are
in
place
for
folks
to
not
be
able
to
fraudulently
engage
in
voting
through
absentee
ballots?
If
you
would
just
explain
that
a
little
bit
for
the
public,
that
would
be
much
appreciated.
J
Certainly,
madam
vice
president,
I
I
won't
be
able
to
address
in
a
lot
of
detail
the
points
that
councilmember
cunningham
has
raised.
I'm
happy
to
maybe
follow
up
with
more
detail,
but
at
a
high
level
I
can
share
this.
Male
balloting
has
been
happening
in
the
united
states.
Almost
from
the
beginning.
It
really
started
as
a
way
of
enfranchising
those
who
couldn't
be
at
the
polls
on
election
day
and
primarily
that
included
our
military
and
those
who
were
unable
to
physically
get
to
polling
places.
J
So
mail
balloting
has
has
been
around
for
many
many
many
years.
It
is
a
legitimate
means
of
access
to
the
ballot.
There
are
significant
and
substantial
checks
that
go
into
protecting
the
integrity
of
that
process
as
well
down
to
personalized
barcodes
that
match
up
the
ballot.
That's
issued
to
a
voter
tied
to
their
residence,
their
ward,
their
precinct
in
minneapolis.
We
typically
have
125
different
polling
places
that
serve
134
precincts.
J
Again,
we
went
to
95,
but
what's
important,
there
is
each
of
those
134
precincts
is
a
means
of
security,
because
there's
a
different
ballot
for
every
single
one,
even
though
the
races
and
the
content
are
the
same.
The
arrangement
is
uniquely
different
for
each
precinct
and
there
are
so
many
checks
on
the
back
end
of
preparing
the
ballots,
testing
the
ballots,
confirming
the
ballots,
checks
that
the
secretary
of
state
and
all
of
our
counties
as
that
upper
tier
umbrella,
provide
for
us
local
jurisdictions.
J
They
are
tied
into
national
and
statewide
databases
that
check
to
confirm
a
voter's
identification
and
all
of
that
work
happens
every
day.
A
lot
of
people,
of
course
think,
and
it's
a
joke
within
the
industry
right
that
elections,
workers
really
kind
of
work.
A
few
months
of
the
year
we
work
every
day
of
every
year,
prepping
for
each
election
because
it
takes
that
much
time
to
go
through
the
voter
rolls
to
make
sure
that
those
voters
are
continuing
to
be
eligible,
that
they
haven't
been
disqualified
for
some
purpose.
J
A
lot
goes
into
the
checks
and
balances
both
for
in-person
voting
equal
to
how
much
check
and
balances
goes
into
mail
balloting.
So
that's
just
a
flavor
of
of
those
security
details,
and
I
hope
that
gives
you
some
sense
of
assurance
that
a
lot
of
individuals
at
various
levels
of
government
have
their
hands
in
that
process
to
make
sure
that
multiple
checks
are
done
before
the
first
ballots
are
ever
even
presented.
Much
less
distributed
to
voters.
B
Thank
you
for
the
response,
mr
clerk,
and
we
have
a
question
and
or
comment
from
councilmember
goodman.
H
Thank
you,
madam
chair
and
casey.
Thank
you
for
your
presentation.
My
question
was
answered,
but
I
do
want
to
note.
There
are
all
sorts
of
people
out
there
like
me
who
requested
a
ballot.
Sorry,
I'm
looking
at
my
big
screen.
They
requested
a
ballot
and
now
plan
to
go
vote
on
election
day.
Why
is
that?
H
Well
for
me,
because
you've
prevent
you've
presented
us
with
a
percentage
of
people
by
precinct
that
have
already
voted,
so
I
was
able
to
calculate
that,
since
more
than
60
percent
of
the
people
in
my
precinct
have
already
voted,
there
won't
be
as
many
people
and
I
would
feel
safe
to
be
able
to
go
and
vote
in
person
on
election
day,
and
I
bet
there
are
other
people
like
me.
I
guess
my
question
is:
what
do
I
do
with
the
ballot
I
was
sent?
H
I
don't
I'm
not
supposed
to
fill
that
out
and
then
take
it
to
the
polling
place
right.
So
maybe
you
could
just
advise
for
those
of
us
24
000
people
that
requested
a
ballot
that
might
go
to
the
polling
place
because
of
the
information
you
provided
us.
What
do
we
do
with
the
existing
ballots
that
we
have.
J
Very
a
very
good
question:
councilmember
goodman
and
through
the
chair
I
will
say
it's
it's
one.
We've
been
getting
a
lot
in
more
recent
days,
and
so
the
thing
to
do
here
is:
if
you
have
asked
for
a
mail
ballot
and
you
have
it
in
your
possession,
you
haven't
filled
it
out.
You
haven't
returned
it,
then
I
would
encourage
you
to
take
it
to
the
polling
place
with
you
and
hand
it
to
the
election
judge.
They
will
spoil
that
ballot
so
that
we
have
the
record.
H
J
K
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
and
thanks
to
the
election
staff
for
all
the
work
they're
doing
in
my
household.
We
also
found
that
the
drop-off
states
were
a
great
place
to
go.
If
there
were
any
questions
about
the
ballot,
my
husband
didn't
follow
the
instructions
about
all
the
envelopes.
Exactly
correctly,
he
probably
would
prefer
that
I'm
not
sure
that,
but
he
went
to
the
drop-off
site
and
got
his
question
answered
and
was
able
to.
K
You
know,
make
sure
his
envelopes
were
in
order
and
signed
where
it
needed
to
be
taped
together
and
all
was
well.
So
you
know,
there's
resources
to
call
you
know
phone
numbers
to
call
available
on
the
website,
but
folks
can
also
go
to
those
drop-off
spots
and
there
were
friendly
election
staff
there
to
answer
the
questions
and
make
sure
the
ballot
was
in
order-
and
I
know
there's
extra
anxiety
this
year
about
just
making
sure
that
every
vote
is
counted.
K
Of
course,
you
can
also
go
to
the
secretary
of
state's
website
to
check
on
the
status
of
your
ballot,
which
I
did
after
I
mailed
in
my
ballot.
So
I've
never
had
an
election
where
so
many
people
that
I
know
are
worried
about
their
their
ballot
actually
being
received
and
counted,
and
so
having
that
extra
check
from
the
secretary
of
state
to
be
so
simple
online
to
check
the
status
has
been
really
great
too.
J
Madam
vice
president,
if
I
can
just
add
to
the
council
president's
comment,
one
of
the
things
that
I'm
I'm
proud
of
here
in
minneapolis
is,
although
it
was
said
or
suggested,
we
could
provide
ballot
drop-off
sites
that
were
unstaffed.
Just
a
box
and
people
could
drop
off
their
ballots
grace,
and
I
very
quickly
said
no,
no
not
here
we,
we
want
not
only
the
protection,
the
the
assurance
of
a
visible
staff
presence
at
each
of
our
ballot
drop-off
sites.
J
More
importantly,
we
felt
the
voters
needed
that
service
that
you
just
described,
madam
president,
and
so
we
make
sure
that
our
ballot
drop-off
sites
are
staffed.
Just
like
we
would
staff
a
polling
place
just
like
we
staff
our
early
vote
centers,
so
that
not
only
is
there
trained
people
there
to
help
and
assist,
but
they're
also
there
to
protect
those
ballots
in
their
custody
and
make
sure
that
those
are
protected
and
watched
over
until
we
can
tabulate
them
and
produce
those
first
unofficial
results
on
election
night.
J
B
Well,
once
again,
mr
kirk,
thank
you
so
much
for
all
of
the
efforts
of
the
elections
team.
B
You
know
I
just
want
to
encourage
our
residents
the
a
little
bit
over
50
percent,
who
have
not
voted
to
make
your
plan
to
vote.
I
will
be
showing
up
at
my
polling
location
on
tuesday
november
3rd
to
ensure
that
my
vote
is
counted
and
as
councilmember
goodman
indicated,
the
the
lines
should
be
very
manageable,
considering
the
number
of
people
who
have
already
voted.
B
So
thank
you
so
much
for
that
presentation
and
seeing
that
there
are
no
further
discussion,
I
will
direct
the
clerk
to
receive
and
file.
The
report
from
the
clerk,
hi
and
item
number
11
on
our
agenda
is
a
direction
to
a
north,
minneapolis
promisone
staff
related
to
the
group.
Violence,
intervention.
B
Strategy-
this
item
was
discussed
at
last
week's
public
health
and
safety
committee
and
was
referred
to
a
pogo
oversight
committee
for
further
discussion.
I
will
note
that
in
the
future
we
will
have
conversations
like
these
as
a
part
of
the
committee
reports
and
and
we're
gonna
institute
that
process
at
the
end
of
this
of
our
discussion
items
and
if
folks,
if
committee
chairs,
are
not
prepared
to
present
today
that
that's
quite
okay,
but
we
want
to
have
these
kinds
of
discussions
going
through
our
committee
report.
B
So
I
am
going
to
ask
if
there
is
any.
Is
there
a
presentation
on
this
item.
E
No,
madam
vice
president,
if,
if
I
may
speak
to
this,
yes,
please
thank
you,
madam
vice
president,
and
thank
you
for
clarifying
around
the
committee
report
outs.
This
is
the
first
time
we're
doing
it.
So
I
appreciate
the
clarification
so
colleagues,
I
wanted
to
bring
this
item
forward
to
keep
our
public
safety
work
visible
in
terms
of
the
public,
so
that
our
progress
on
this
important
work
remains
transparent
and
accessible
to
our
community.
E
There
really
isn't
any
action
or
report
to
be
made
today,
but
as
a
formal
action
by
the
council,
this
directive
will
go
to
the
full
city
council
at
our
regular
meeting
on
friday
for
adoption
as
a
high-level
overview
to
address
the
urgent,
unacceptable
gun
violence
crisis
in
our
city.
We
have
been
working
with
national
experts
to
develop
a
public
safety
plan
with
an
enhanced
gvi
strategy
to
pilot
and
scale
given
gun.
E
Violence
is
the
most
pressing
state
public
safety
issue
we
are
facing
right
now
and
the
concentration
of
gun
violence
is
taking
place
in
the
fourth
precinct.
The
pilot
will
be
focused
there.
Initially,
the
data
demonstrates
things
like
carjackings
and
robberies
which
folks
maybe
not
would
not
as
not
connect
with
with
gang
and
group
activity
are
actually
connected
to
to
that
exact
to
that
exact
thing.
E
So
if
we
disrupt
the
violence
of
the
most
active
groups
and
gangs
in
north
minneapolis,
that
will
have
city-wide
positive
impacts,
we
will
also
learn
a
lot
of
lessons
in
the
fourth
precinct
that
can
be
then
culturally
adapted
and
applied
to
other
areas
of
concentrated
violence
in
our
city.
Julianne
learson,
director
of
the
northside
promise
zone
director,
sasha,
cotton
commander,
charlie
adams
and
glenn
burt
from
mpd
are
our
internal
team
building
out
the
operational
details
of
this
pilot.
E
I
thought
it
was
important
for
us
to
keep
it
posted
on
an
agenda.
I
want
to
add
my
thanks
to
julian
learson
for
her
engagement
on
this
work.
One
of
the
things
I'm
very
pleased
with
is
the
increased
level
of
engagement
in
public
safety
work
across
the
entire
enterprise
last
week.
Of
course,
we
brought
forward
an
action
to
add
a
full-time
project
coordinator
to
assist
director.
E
Cotton
and
julie's
involvement
continues
to
expand
the
engagement
of
our
city's
professionals
in
this
highest
priority
work
as
we
explore
what
the
present
and
future
of
community
safety
looks
like
in
our
city.
Again,
I
just
wanted
to
take
a
moment
to
update
everyone
to
ensure
all
of
our
council.
Colleagues
are
aware
of
this
strategy
under
development
to
be
able
to
reflect
back
to
constituents,
so
a
public
safety
plan
is
underway
and
to
keep
the
public
informed
about
our
public
safety
work.
E
I've
contacted
the
city
clerk
to
assure
this
directive
will
go
forward
to
the
full
council
for
final
approval
this
week
and
again
we
anticipate
a
more
fulsome
report
with
the
staff's
recommendations
on
all
of
these
details
at
a
meeting
at
the
public
health
and
safety
committee
in
the
near
future.
Thank
you,
madam
president.
Vice
president.
B
Thank
you
councilmember
cunningham,
and
we
have
a
a
few
council
members
in
queue
with
questions.
I
just
want
to
ask
it's
my
understanding
that
commander
adams
no
longer
works
with
the
city
of
minneapolis.
Is
that
correct,
or
is
that
a
different
charles.
B
Okay,
all
right,
thank
you
very
much.
Councilmember
goodman.
H
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
don't
understand,
what's
going
on
at
all,
so
I'm
not
on
this
other
committee,
I'm
here
in
this
committee.
I'm
on
this
committee,
I
don't
understand
at
all.
What's
happening?
Is
money
being
allocated?
It
says
in
the
report
that
money
is
being
allocated,
but
I
don't
know
how
much
and
you
told
me
to
go
to
lims
to
look
at
it.
If
there
is
money
being
allocated,
why
don't
you
just
say
how
much
it
is
what
additional
sources
are.
Funding
are
going
to
cover
this
additional
pilot.
H
Who
is
going
to
convene
this
interagency
cross
sector
group
and
I
feel
like
this
is
someone's
idea
that
has
now
been
put
on
the
agenda
for
us
to
discuss,
but
I
don't
understand
what
it
is
pretty
much
at
all.
I
think
we
need
to
do
more
about
public
safety
without
question
and
I
support
group
violence
related
work,
but
I
feel
like
this
was
just
brought
up
publicized
thrown
on
an
agenda
and
I
don't
really
understand
what
it
is.
I'm
being
asked
to
vote
on
and
I
kind
of
have
a
rule.
H
Know
what
I'm
doing
I'm
not
going
to
vote
for
something,
and
so
I
I
don't
understand
why
we're
bringing
this
forward
today.
Why
isn't
there
a
full
some
discussion
in
committee
about
the
details
so
that
I
indicate
to
other
people
what
it
is
that's
happening,
I'm
not
opposed
to
this.
I
don't
know
what
this
is
to
vote
on
and
I'm
not
sure
that
it
should
only
be
on
the
north
side.
H
I
don't
know
I
probably
could
be
convinced
of
that,
but
I
mean
I
need
to
hear
staff
talk
about
what
this
is,
how
it's
happening,
what
it's
going
to
cost,
what
the
additional
money
that's
going
to
be
raised
is.
Can
you
please
answer
some
of
those
questions,
so
I
have
a
legitimate
way
of
analyzing
whether
or
not
this
is
something
I
should
vote
for.
E
Well,
I'm
happy
to
speak
to
this.
I
do
believe
that
we
have
staff
on
the
line
as
well.
I
just
wanted
to
give
our
my
colleagues
an
update,
so
this
is
a
resource
neutral
pilot
because
it
is
within
gvi
and
it
is
possible
for
that
to
fall
within.
So
it
is
resource
neutral.
The
north
side
promise
zone
is
directed
to
do
the
work
that
you
had
asked
about,
and
the
action
that
is
being
requested
is
just
simply
to
approve
the
staff
direction.
E
I
wanted
to
be
able
to
bring
this
forward
so
that
we
just
are
keeping
the
public
safety
conversation
moving,
so
that
folks
know
that
this
work
is
underway.
So
I'm
I'm
happy
to
dig
into
the
details
more
with
you
as
well,
but
right
now
that
that
inner
that
internal
team
is
working
out
the
operational
details-
and
I
see
that
I
think
mr
carl
wants
to
speak
so
I'll-
take
a
step
back.
J
Madam
vice
president,
and
to
council
member
goodman-
I
I
don't
enjoy
being
in
this
position,
but
I'll
put
myself
there
and
say
that
the
reason
this
showed
up
on
today's
agenda
is
my
responsibility.
J
There
was
some
confusion
about
the
direction
from
council
leadership
about
having
committee
reports
like
used
to
be
done
at
committee
of
the
whole.
There
was
some
discussion
about
this
I
believe
last
week
and
as
we've
worked
to
transition
that
process
forward.
This
staff
directive
came
out
of
public
health
and
safety
and,
like
any
other
staff
directive,
it
would
have
gone
straight
to
city
council
in
talking
with
council
member
cunningham,
with
other
things
on
my
plate.
J
If
I
can
borrow
that
excuse,
I
suggested
that
this
be
referred
for
comment
directly
to
pogo,
because
I
wasn't
sure
if
the
committee
reports,
if
the
system
redesign
would
be
done
in
time
to
put
those
on
the
agenda-
and
in
fact
it
was-
that
was
good
work
by
my
team
and
by
I.t
that
I
just
wasn't
aware,
and
so
this
and
councilmember
cunningham
was
gracious
and
covering
covering
for
me
there,
and
I
appreciate
that
council
member,
but
this
was,
as
he
noted,
a
directive
that
should
go
straight
to
council.
J
There
wasn't
an
intent
necessarily
to
have
discussion
or
action
today
by
this
committee.
It
does
go
forward
to
council
and
and
now
that
it
would
be
under
the
reports.
It
should
have
just
come
up
when
the
when
the
public
safety
and
help
the
public
health
and
safety
committee
just
made
its
report.
So
this
this
is
my
air,
I'll
chalk
it
up
to
having
too
much
on
my
plate.
Right
now
and
I
I
should
have
better
kept
my
advice
to
council
member
cunningham
to
myself,
rather
than
advise
that
he
forward
this
for
action
today.
J
B
So
now
we'll
go
back
to
our
council
comment
queue
council
president
bender.
K
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
was
going
to
make
a
similar
statement
about
the
procedure
and
also
know
that
you
and
I
have
been
working
together
with
the
clerk
to
get
this
system
of
reporting
back
up
and
running
at
pogo.
You
know
I,
I
think
that
well
I'll,
say
a
few
things.
I
was
able
to
attend
the
public
health
and
safety
committee,
which
I
don't
serve
on,
and
I
know
that
we're
not
always
able
to
do
that.
Councilmember
schroeder
also
joined,
and
it
was
a
really
very
meaty,
substantive
discussion.
K
There
was
a
presentation
from
our
staff
in
mpd,
as
well
as
office
of
violence
prevention,
and
then
a
national
expert,
david
kennedy
who's
been
working
with
the
city
for
many
years
since
the
90s
on
interrupting
violence.
He
is
talking
with
mayor
frye
and
city
staff
in
mpd,
as
well
as
the
office
of
violence
prevention.
K
I
think
councilmember
cunningham's
intention-
and
I
commend
him
for
this-
was
to
make
sure
that,
since
this
is
a
pilot
focused
in
a
geographic
area,
that
there
was
full
transparency
with
the
council,
I
can
say
for
my
part,
I
support
a
pilot
in
north
minneapolis
because
I
think
the
focus
is
needed
there.
We
are
able
to
to
now
get
some
demographic
breakdown
in
the
reports
that
we're
getting
from
mpd
and
we're
seeing
significantly
more
detail
from
mpd
in
in
both
precinct
reports
as
well
as
reports
coming
from
the
chief,
which
I've
appreciated
very
much.
K
We
are
still
seeing
the
same
kinds
of
trends
and
violence
that
we
have
had
for
a
long
time
in
minneapolis,
where
you
know
80,
plus
percent
of
gun,
violence.
Victims
are
black
and
the
vast
majority
are
young
people,
age
12
to
30,
or
so
who
are
impacted
by
gun
violence.
And
so
you
know
really
focusing
our
energy
in
interrupting
those
cycles
of
violence
that
are
affecting
our
young
people
is
a
priority
that
I,
as
one
council
member
support.
K
I
also
know
that
the
patterns
of
crime
that
we
are
seeing
around
the
city
and
including
in
ward,
10
and
others,
are
linked
to
the
activities
that
are
happening.
You
know,
among
the
group
group,
violence
that
this
is
working
to
interrupt,
so
there
are
lots
of
connections
and
david
kennedy
went
into
that.
But,
of
course,
our
staff
also
know
that,
so
when
we
follow
up
with
their
inspectors
or
others
about
specific
incidents,
we
also
we
often
find
that
they
are
linked
in
to
networks
of
groups
in
our
city.
K
So
I
really
appreciate
the
work.
That's
gone
into
this
from
mpd
from
the
office
of
violence
prevention,
council,
member
cunningham's
work.
You
know,
as
I
said,
mayor
frye,
I
know,
is
involved
and
hearing
from
david
kennedy
as
well.
So
it's,
I
think,
been
a
good
effort
to
make
sure
that
we're
addressing
the
concerns
we're
hearing
from
folks
in
the
fourth
precinct
and
again,
to
really
focus
resources
on
that
violence
that
is
so
harmful
to
our
young
people
and
again.
K
I
agree
councilmember
goodman,
that
this
is
a
typical
for
that
reason
that
I
think
this
typically
would
have
been
part
of
the
committee
report,
not
as
a
standalone
item
on
this
agenda.
B
Council
member
bender
for
a
little
more
context,
which
I
think
councilmember
goodman
was
asking
for.
You
know
we.
We
have
this
high
level
kind
of
information,
but
still
not
a
lot
of
kind
of
councilmember
mcconnell.
L
Thank
you.
I
hope
folks
can
hear
me.
I
appreciate
the
efforts
being
brought
forward
today
in
this
staff
direction.
I
think
it's
really
challenging
to
to
do
this
work,
piecemeal
type-
and
so
you
know
over
the
past
week
or
so.
L
I've
been
reflecting
on
the
hundreds
of
meetings
we've
had
this
year
or
or
actually
in
in
just
the
last
four
to
five
months,
trying
to
respond
to
a
number
of
issues
relating
to
crime
and
safety
in
our
city
and
and
it
does
feel
like
we're,
missing
sort
of
a
comprehensive,
coordinated,
coherent
plan
for
the
entire
city,
and
I
understand
that
individual
council
members
want
to
be
able
to
stand
up
for
their
own
communities
and
represent
those
interests.
L
But
it's
hard
for
me
to
sort
of
gauge
what
the
impact
and
the
entire
enterprise
will
be
when
only
one
area
is
sort
of
zeroed
in
on
when
we
know
that
in
general
gun
violence
has
gone
up
for
the
entire
city.
We
know
that
there's
been
a
lot
of
challenges
around
several
other
negative
interactions
in
our
community
that
that
involved
theft,
robbery
carjackings.
L
L
So
so,
there's
a
lot
of
business
owners
and
a
lot
of
different
constituencies
reaching
out
to
us
asking
for
help
and
for
a
response-
and
I
remember
requesting
a
presentation
on
on
what
the
city's
plans
were
going
to
be
to
to
reduce
gun
violence
to
our
colleagues
here,
and
I
I
never
quite
got
a
response,
so
I
was
hoping
that
we
would
have
a
chance
to
maybe
talk
about
that
during
our
public
safety
and
public
health
committee.
L
So
so
in
general,
you
know
it's
it's
it's
good
that
that
people
want
to
take
action
on
this
front.
I
just
feel
like
this
is
a
time
to
do
a
city-wide,
coordinated
effort
or
approach
that
really
helps
us
understand
what
the
implications
of
that
staff
time
and
those
directives
are
for
for
all
parts
of
our
city,
because
we're
also
losing
people
to
gun
violence
in
south
minneapolis.
L
We're
also
experiencing
severe
challenges
that
minneapolis
isn't
able
to
to
respond
to
or
help
us
with,
primarily
because
they're,
not
a
dispatch
group
and
secondarily
because
they
have
explicitly
said
that
they
do
not
respond
to
gun
violence
issues,
that's
not
their
their
framework
or
their
approach
and
at
the
same
time
we
still
keep
getting
a
ton
of
requests
from
residents
and
business
owners
to
figure
out
how
to
calm
the
situation.
L
So
you
know
this
is
me
just
putting
it
out
there
to
colleagues
and
staff
that
we
need
a
comprehensive
citywide
plan.
I
I
don't
think
it
makes
sense
to
try
to
go
at
this.
You
know
precinct
by
precinct
or
neighborhood
by
neighborhood.
We
need
to
better
understand
how
we,
as
a
community,
are
coming
together
to
to
tackle
this
problem,
and-
and
it
would
be
nice
to
understand
what
what
the
implication
of
some
of
this
work
means
for
for
other
work.
L
That's
happening
throughout
the
city
and,
and
so
I'm
I'm
just
sort
of
hesitant
because
of
that,
and
and
it's
hard
to
really
get
the
details
of
all
of
those
things
right
here
right
now
in
in
this
brief
presentation
and
comment
period,
and
it
would
be
great
to
see
both
our
chief
of
police
and
the
leaders
of
our
police
department
do
a
joint
presentation
with
our
health
department
to
talk
about
how
this
work
is
going
to
be
done
together
to
talk
about
how
we're
going
to
get
through
this
transition
as
a
team
and
to
understand
sort
of
whose
role
is.
L
Is
what?
Because
I
find
myself
doing
that
in
every
meeting
I
have
in
my
ward
with
constituents-
and
I
I
it's
not
sustainable.
L
I
can't
keep
reinventing
a
plan
for
every
single
neighborhood
or
every
single
block,
that's
facing
gun
violence
and
increased
criminal
activity,
and
so
I'm
I'm
patching
together
plans
with
individual
officers
and
individual
members
in
the
office
of
violence
prevention.
But
what
I'm
really
looking
for
is
is
a
comprehensive,
coherent,
coordinated
plan
that
has
more
than
than
two
or
three
months
lifeline
that
it's
actually
something
that
we're
looking
at
that's
three
to
five
years,
and
so
I
just
I
just
wanted
to
share
share
that
with
colleagues
that
you
know
I've.
L
I've
been
reaching
out
to
the
office
of
violence,
prevention
and
mpd
to
get
some
of
these
conversations
going
about
sort
of
what
is
our
bigger
plan,
because
I've
I've
been
finding
myself
going
to
these
meetings
over
the
past
month
and
the
work
that
we're
saying
we're
doing,
isn't
having
the
results
that
people
are
looking
for
and
that
we
would
like
to
see,
and
so
certainly
there's
there's
a
lot
of
stuff
missing
and
and
of
course
I
would
love
a
pilot
program
in
ward,
9
and
ward
8
and
ward
6.,
you
know,
but
I
I
don't
think
that
we
can
tackle
it.
B
Thank
you,
councilman
mcconnell,
councilmember,
schrader,.
A
Thank
you,
chair
jenkins,
there's
others
in
the
cube
before
me.
I
was
I
will
concede
my
time
to
chair
cunningham
and
councilmember
fletcher
and
I'll.
If
I
can
be
added
to
the
queue
after
them.
B
Great,
did
you
have
a
response,
councilman
rick
cunningham.
E
Yes,
I
I
just
want
to
speak
to
a
few
items.
We
absolutely
do
need
a
city-wide
comprehensive
plan,
and
this
is
getting
us
in
a
space
in
which
we
can
do
that
this,
and
we
have
we
have
monthly.
Just
so
folks
know,
we
have
now
monthly
updates
with
the
office
of
violence,
prevention
and
mpd,
presenting
to
the
public
health
and
safety
committee.
E
It's
the
second
cycle
of
every
month,
so
they
present
on
what
their,
what
what's
the
current
state
and
what
is
their
response.
So
we
do
have
that
joint
information
with
this
particular
strategy
and
plan
we
are
looking
at
like
the
police,
are
on
board.
Mpd
is
on
board.
Various
staff
are
on
board.
This
is
not
piecemeal.
E
Even
even
if,
even
though
gun
violence
has
gone
up
across
the
city,
the
disproportionate
increase
has
still
been
in
north
minneapolis,
and
we
literally
have
we
literally
have
children
killing
one
another
here
on
the
north
side.
E
This
is
incredibly
urgent
and,
and
that
is
not
to
in
any
way
shape
or
form
diminish,
what's
happening
across
the
city,
but
the
science
is
you
focus
on
the
highest
concentration
of
the
worst
violence,
and
then
you
see
implications
of
broader
implications
and
then
you
adapt,
and
then
you
move
to
the
second,
the
highest
concentration
that
you
adapt
and
move
to
the
second,
the
third
highest
concentration,
and
that
is
so.
This
is
not
me
as
a
north
side,
council
member
saying,
ward
4
needs
to
be
focused
on.
E
I
will
also
just
say
for
the
record
that,
with
the
uptick
in
in
crime
and
violence,
other
parts
of
the
city
are
starting
to
experience
a
little
bit
of
what
we've
had
to
deal
with
for
decades
on
the
north
side,
and
this
is
not
to
minimize
the
traumatic
experience
of
crime
and
violence,
but
to
call
how
normalized
our
experience,
our
traumatic
experience
of
crime
and
violence
has
been
on
the
north
side.
E
It
has
been
intolerable
for
a
summer
in
our
city
like
that,
is
a
sample
of
what
has
been
tolerated,
not
like
tolerated
for
not
by
the
north
side
for
decades
we're
asking
for
folks
to
get
behind
a
resource
neutral
way,
so
to
be
able
to
go
back
to
council
member
goodman's
point.
E
This
is
a
resource,
neutral
pilot.
That
again,
I
I
highly
recommend
for
colleagues
as
well
as
the
public
to
please
watch
the
david
kennedy's
presentation
on
thursday
at
the
public
health
and
safety
committee,
because
it
goes
into
detail
about
the
about
a
particular
approach
like
this.
This
is
a
configuration
we
are
here
digging
into
a
little
bit
like
the
high
level.
We
absolutely
need
a
citywide
plan,
and
this
is
intended
for
us
to
be
able
to
get
to
that
place,
but
we
have
we
have
to
start
somewhere.
E
The
science
shows
that
you
start
at
the
place
with
the
highest
concentration
and
right
now.
The
reality
is,
I
like.
We
have
had
many
children
who
have
died
from
gun
violence
in
the
fourth
precinct,
so
it
makes
sense
for
us
to
start
in
this
place.
This
is
not
merely
me
as
a
north
side
council
member
saying
that
I
want
all
these
resources
and
attention
it
is
based
on
science.
E
So
I
just
wanted
to
add
that,
and
I
do
look
forward
to
working
with
my
colleagues
from
other
parts
of
the
city
so
that
we
can
continue
to
flesh
out
this
work.
M
Thank
you
jenkins.
I
just
want
to
reflect
on
how
hard
this
work
is.
I
I
just
want
to
reflect
on
how
challenging
it
is
to
do
significant
transformational
systems
change
together
as
a
group
at
a
time
when
people
are
experiencing
genuine
fear
in
the
middle
of
a
pandemic
and
we're
coming
together
to
make
plans.
M
I
totally
agree
with
councilmember
kano
that
we
need
a
roblox,
comprehensive,
citywide
plan
and
we
are
working
on
that
and
we
have
promised
a
year
of
community
engagement
to
include
the
whole
city
in
building
a
community
and
get
a
comprehensive
plan
that
everybody
really
is
bought
into
and
believes
in
and
at
the
same
time
we
have
been
hearing
from
so
many
different
directions
that
people
are
not
going
to
wait
for
that.
That
we
cannot
wait
for
the
perfect
that
people
are
looking
for
a
response
from
us
now
to
violence.
M
That
is
happening
now
urgently
in
our
city.
And
what
I
really
appreciate
about
this
is
that
councilmember
cunningham,
I
think,
really
took
the
spirit
of
a
lot
of
the
public
comment
that
we've
received
from
a
lot
of
different
sources,
ranging
from
the
public
testimony
in
the
public
health
and
safety
committee
to
meetings.
People
have
held
on
the
north
side
to
the
broad
set
of
engagement
that
we
received
from
people
all
over
the
city.
M
To
say
we
need
a
response
now
and
we've
identified
staff
resources
and
we
have
identified
a
model
that
is
already
approved
and
endorsed
by
the
mayor
and
the
chief
and
the
council
in
gvi
to
kind
of
say
we're
going
to
supercharge
the
strategy.
M
We
know
that
it
is
hard
to
coordinate
at
times
it
has
not
gone
well
in
the
past,
where
that
coordination
has
not
worked,
so
it
makes
sense
to
focus
it
in
a
precinct
many
times
when
we
try
to
roll
things
out,
people
say:
oh,
that
would
be
really
hard
to
do.
City-Wide.
Can
we
try
it
in
one
place?
M
First
right
so
often
when
we
try
to
do
a
big
systemic
change,
people
say,
let's
pilot
it
in
a
more
geographically
specific
way,
and
then,
when
we
pilot
something
in
a
geographically
specific
way,
we
say
no,
we
need
a
city-wide
solution,
so
there's
always
like
there's
never
like
a
perfect
way
to
go
get
into
this.
But
I
really
appreciate
focusing
on
the
data
clearly
shows
that
the
fourth
precinct
is
where
the
concentration
of
gun
violence
is
most
intense.
M
It
is
the
right
place
to
focus
this
energy
right
now
and
we
have
a
proven
and
previously
adopted
strategy
through
formal
council
processes
and
the
mayor's
collaboration.
M
That
we
know
is
something
that
we
can
enact
that
we
need
to
try
to
enact
and
show
that
it
works,
and
that
then
I
think
we
do
need
to
take
the
lessons
that
we
learn
from
this
and
and
apply
them
citywide,
and
I
think
we
need
to
continue
to
do
exactly
that.
We
need
to
continue
to
build
a
citywide,
comprehensive
plan
on
this
work,
at
the
same
time
that
we
pilot
things
and
problem
solve
and
respond
to
the
urgency
of
the
moment
along
the
way.
M
So
I'm
very
supportive
of
this,
even
though
it
doesn't
touch
my
award
directly.
I
think
it's
very
important
that
that
we
try
this
and
that
we
really
commit
to
it
and
that
we
gather
as
much
community
energy
and
resource
to
direct
into
confronting
violence
where
it's
happening
as
we
possibly
can,
and
I
really
appreciate
the
way
that
this
has
come
forward
and
I
I
hope
that
we
can
support
this.
M
I
know
there
was
a
little
bit
of
a
procedural
hookup
that
even
led
to
this
conversation
happening
in
this
committee.
You
know
a
little
bit
of
a
mess
up
here,
but
but
you
know
now
that
we're
here
and
talking
about
it,
I
think,
let's,
let's
endorse
a
strategy
that
is
a
response
to
some
of
the
problem
that
we're
trying
to
solve
and
move
forward
together.
B
Thank
you,
councilmember
fletcher.
I
think
part
of
the
challenge
is
I
I
I'm
still
not
quite
clear
on
what
the
strategy
is
and
I
think
that's
what's
the
question.
Councilmember
goodman
was
asking
as
well
and
I'm
a
little
unclear
about
the
order.
Now
I
I
think
councilmember
schroeder
was
in
queue
and
then
we
have
councilman
mcconnell
and
bender
after
that
councilmember
schrader.
A
Thank
you,
chair
jenkins.
I
was
able
to
sit
in
on
the
committee
meeting
and
just
appreciate
kind
of
the
work
of
that
committee
to
to
bring
that
out,
and
I
certainly
want
to
make
sure
that
every
one
of
my
colleagues
understands
what
is
happening,
but
I
think
I
also
just
want
to
make
another
couple
points
I
think
chair.
Cunningham
put
it
really
well
that
this
is
evidence-based.
A
Many
of
the
crimes
that
are
happening
in
ward
11
are
starting
in
other
parts
of
the
city
and
not
just
happening
in
ward
11,
but
then
moving
next
door
to
neighboring
areas
as
well.
So
this
this
is
a
strategy
that
is
very
data
focused,
and
it's
also
something
that
you
know.
Frankly.
This
is
not.
This
is
something
that
people
have
been
calling
for
for
a
long
time.
You
know
it
might,
I'm
sure,
we're
all
hearing
just
how
much
you
know
our
constituents
are
concerned
and
are
fearful
and
want
to
see.
A
Action
want
to
see
action
this
summer.
That
didn't
happen
and
they
want
to
see
action
now.
We
need
to
be
doing
things
like
this.
We
need
to
be
doing
pilots.
A
city-wide
plan.
Would
be
would
be
fantastic.
I
have
not
heard
of
a
plan
from
the
chief
or
from
the
mayor
about
how
they
are
planning
to
address
the
the
crime
increases
that
we've
seen
this
entire
time.
A
We
need
to
be
doing
something
now
and
I
think,
focusing
on
data
focusing
on
using
all
of
the
tools,
including
group,
violence,
intervention
and
all
of
the
other
kind
of
staff
tools
that
we
have
in
the
city
make
sense.
I'd
also
say,
I
think,
a
lot
of
our
at
least
my
constituents
think
this
is
happening
already.
They
think
that
we
are
focusing
on
the
data
and
having
a
focused
laser
approach
like
this
to
reduce
crime.
A
Not
just
to
you
know,
answer
911
calls,
but
to
be
able
to
really
get
to
the
the
root
causes
of
who
is
committing
these
acts.
Why
they're
committing
them
and
making
sure
that
we
have
enough
of
an
evidence
and
enough
of
a
case
to
get
them
off
the
street.
So
I
applaud
this
approach.
I
really
appreciate
my
colleagues
questions.
We
do
need
to
fully
understand,
but
I
hopefully
you
have
the
same
reaction
I
did
when
I
when
I
had
was
able
to
see
this
presentation.
L
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Let
me
see
if
I
can
turn
my
camera
here
yeah.
I
just
wanted
to
further
elaborate
on
a
couple
of
points
that
I
made
earlier
so
just
to
to
be
really
clear
and,
of
course,
to
be
able
to
be
on
record
for
my
constituents.
L
I
I
think
it's
really
important
that
when
items
like
this
get
brought
forward,
that
the
public
codification
of
its
language
reflect
the
true
spirit
and
intent
of
what
we're
trying
to
do,
and
so
if
indeed
this
work
was
going
to
or
is
going
to
help
and
include
south
side
and
south
minneapolis
communities,
then
that
should
have
been
in
the
language
today.
If
we
were
going
to
approach
this
from
a
lens
of
how
does
the
violence
in
north
minneapolis
relate
to
the
violence
in
south
minneapolis,
then
those
conversations
should
have
had
happened
before
today.
L
I
know
that
you
all
have
my
cell
phone
number.
I
know
that
staff
can
reach
out
to
us
and
try
to
set
up
meetings
and
have
conversations
ahead
of
time.
None
of
that
happened
up
until
this
vote
or
up
until
this
conversation
today
and
and
by
no
means
am,
I
gonna
vote
against
this.
That's
not
that's
not
what
we're!
What
I'm
trying
to
debate
here.
My
whole
point
is
that
a
lot
of
times
we
we
defer
or
we
dip
we.
L
We
are
different
in
the
type
of
approach
that
we
bring
to
our
process
and
to
our
work,
and
so
I
think
we
probably
all
agree
that
we
want
to
reduce
the
gun
violence
in
our
city,
but
we're
probably
not
agreeing
on
the
process
of
how
to
do
that
and
how
to
get
there
and
a
lot
of
times.
I
think
our
our
positions
differ
on
that
front,
because
the
process
that
we
would
have
chosen
to
bring
something
together
and
forward
is
is
just
sort
of
different.
So
you
know
my
my
real.
L
My
real
interest
here
is
making
sure
that
the
people
who
are
being
harmed
in
south
minneapolis
and
who
are
experiencing
some
of
these
issues
and
and
who
have
been
experiencing
these
issues
for
a
while
as
well,
are
reflected
in
in
the
language
of
the
work
that
we're
seeing
we're
trying
to
do.
I
think
it's
a
simple
enough
thing
that
can
happen
with
more
coordination
among
us,
but
you
know
it
just
didn't
happen
for
this
particular
action.
That's
being
presented
today
and
I'll.
L
Add
that
the
the
the
plan
that
I'm
speaking
about
when
I
request
a
citywide
plan
to
address
what's
going
on
is
not
the
long.
The
year-long
engagement
for
transforming
our
public
safety
system,
I'm
talking
about
a
plan
to
end
and
reduce
some
of
the
the
increase
that
we
have
seen
in
in
violence
in
our
city.
I
think
we
need
sort
of
a
immediate,
medium
term
and
and
long-term
plan
to
address
some
of
this
work,
and
so
I'm
I
don't
want.
L
I
don't
want
this
to
get
confused
with
the
engagement
process,
I'm
talking
about
an
intervention
that
we
need
to
activate
right
now
to
ensure
that
we
can
manage.
What's
happening
in
our
city
respond
to
what's
happening
in
our
city
because
it's
having
very
real
impacts
and
unfortunately,
as
it's,
it
has
been
said
here
today,
already
disproportionate
impacts
on
communities
of
color.
Above
all
so
so
I
appreciate
folks
wanting
to
take
action
and
I
I
really
encourage
all
of
us
to
not
normalize
the
type
of
violence
that's
happening
here.
L
I
think
we
all
know
we
live
in
a
society
where
some
of
those
issues
are
deeply
rooted
in
economic
systems
and
exclusions
that
are
above
and
beyond
the
single
power
of
a
council
member
and
so
at
some
level
we
do
play
harm
reduction
to,
to
a
certain
extent,
have
to
learn
how
to
mitigate
those
harms,
because
we,
in
order
to
end
them,
we
would
have
to
probably
have
like
a
revolution
in
this
country.
L
So
so
again
would
have
been
great
to
have
see
some
of
the
some
of
the
language
reflect
and
include
the
south,
minneapolis
community
and
direct
impacts
and
actions
for
them
for
us
for
for
my
community,
as
well
as
once
again
requesting
that
that
we
need
a
plan
like
a
immediate
to
short-term
plan
for
intervening
in
in
the
gun,
violence
that
we're
seeing.
I
I'm
not
talking
about
a
year-long
engagement
for
transforming
public
safety.
L
That's
not
what
I'm
talking
about
at
all,
I'm
talking
about
a
direct
plan
that
we
can
enact
soon
to
make
sure
that
we
turn
this
around
and
that
we
can
gain
the
energy
to
to
really
see
the
other
changes
that
we
had
hoped
to
do
for
the
long
term.
Thank
you.
B
K
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
I
wish
this
conversation
could
have
been
preceded
by
all
of
the
information
that
was
covered
at
committee,
because
I
think
it
really
would
have
helped,
as
it
did
in
committee,
really
ground
the
conversation
in
the
presentation
that
we
had
from
mpd
office
of
violence
prevention
and
david
kennedy.
K
Professor
kennedy's
work,
as
I
mentioned,
is
grounded
in
cities
across
the
country,
including
in
minneapolis
in
the
late
90s.
Most
of
us
weren't
on
the
city
council
at
least
one
one
council
member
was.
I
know
that
he
would
be
happy
to
schedule
briefings
with
council
members,
and
I
would
offer
to
help
facilitate
that.
K
If
that
is
helpful,
as
I
said,
I
know
he
is
talking
with
the
mayor
and
the
police
department,
as
well
as
city
staff
in
the
office
of
violence
prevention
as
well,
and
as
the
chair
mentioned,
the
strategy
is
really
I
mean,
as
this
staff
direction
indicates.
This
is
very
specific
to
group
violence
interventions
it's
not
intended,
nor
does
it
say
anywhere
in
the
resolution
to
replace
any
other
kind
of
effort
around
safety,
or
it's
really
talking
about
the
specific
activities
of
our
existing
group.
K
We
talked
about
at
the
committee
and
I
think
some
of
the
members
had
to
leave
early,
but
we
did
talk
specifically
about
30th
in
chicago.
Very
briefly,
I
know
we
have
a
lot
of
resources
going
there
for
a
number
of
reasons,
so
you
know.
Certainly
I
am
happy
as
council
president,
to
continue
to
follow
up
with
the
council
members
to
represent
that
area
and
see
what
makes
sense
for
a
strategy
like
this
one.
But
this
this
strategy
is
intentionally
very
focused.
K
It's
very
focused
on
group,
violence,
intervention,
so
intervening
in
dynamics
around
gang
and
group
violence.
It
is
very
focused
specifically
on
violent
behavior.
It
is
very
focused
specifically
on
those
small
number
of
people
in
any
community,
including
our
community,
that
are
sort
of
at
the
core
of
violence
that
is
happening.
K
It's
been
an
effective
strategy
that
has
worked
around
the
country,
including
here,
and
so
I
don't
feel
like.
I
can
really
do
it
full
justice,
but
I
did
want
to
kind
of
reground
us
back
in
the
amount
of
information
that
was
shared
at
committee,
because
I
think,
unfortunately,
this
conversation
is
coming
a
bit
out
of
you
know
without
that
context.
K
So
if
any
council
members
want
me
to
help
or
I'm
sure
the
chair
or
staff
facilitate,
you
know
small
group
conversations
to
learn
more
about
this
strategy,
I
would
be
happy
to
do
that
if
people
don't
that
is
okay
too,
but
you
know,
as
was
mentioned,
we
all
serve
on
on
different
committees
and
there's
a
lot
going
on
that
requires.
Each
of
us
to
you
know,
really
fully
participate
in
each
of
those
communities
that
we're
on
so
understand,
if
folks
can't
take
the
time
to
dive
in.
K
But
if
anyone
wants
to,
I
am
happy
to
help.
However,
I
can
and
facilitate
that-
and
I
think
you
know
a
one-on-one
conversation
would
you
know,
would
be
helpful
to
any
council
member
that
has
questions
about
this
particular
strategy.
Thanks.
Madam
chair.
B
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
you
know
I
I
was
informed
that
early
on,
as
as
I
was
trying
to
attend
committee
meetings,
that
only
the
committee
members
could
attend
those
meetings,
so
that
has
been
a
part
of
my
challenge.
I
think
we
have
council
member
palmisano
now
in
queue.
If
I'm
not
mistaken,.
N
Yep,
thank
you,
madam
vice
president.
I
am
going
to
be
the
first
person
to
take
you
up
on
that
offer
to
have
more
discussions
about
this
pilot.
I
don't
feel
this
should
be
talked
about
as
though
it
was
fully
vetted
at
committee.
N
N
The
office
of
violence
prevention
was
a
community
safety
update
generally
and
the
violence
reduction
presentation
has
broad
recommendations
about
legitimizing,
policing
and
removing
responsibilities
out
of
their
department,
and
we
had
conversation
about
that.
I
asked
some
questions
too,
and
my
colleagues
just
had
some
great
feedback
about
those
pieces,
but
the
answers
to
my
colleagues
concerns
here
today.
N
I
feel
need
to
be
available
to
the
public
on
limbs
or
in
a
presentation
or
whatever
the
only
thing
that's
currently
out
about
this
for
the
public
space
or
that
I've
seen
other
than
a
press
release
is
a
fiscal
note
right
now
from
the
promised
zone
shouldn't
there,
be
something
here
that
explains
what
the
advanced
gvi
program
is
or
or
what
building
it
out
here
is
maybe
going
to
look
like.
N
I
fear
that
the
answers
to
my
colleagues
questions,
council,
member
goodman's
questions,
councilmember
cono's
question
should
be
available
to
the
public
and
I'm
committed
to
this
too,
but
I
need
to
point
out
this
wasn't
something
that
was
even
on
the
agenda
or
I
would
have
stayed
and
canceled
that
doctor's
appointment
to
hear
about
it.
So
I
worry
a
bit
that
is
this.
N
The
right
focus
to
direct
so
much
staff
attention
to
a
pilot
right
now
that
hasn't
really
been
vetted
or
or
talked
about
or
reached
out
to
to
even
council
members
right
now
we're
wrapping
up
lots
of
staff
time
and
that's
a
big
resource
to
to
pull
right
now.
I
I
know
that
we
won't
reduce
violence
in
any
one
part
of
our
city
or
more
parts
of
our
city
by
rearranging
the
deck
chairs
here.
N
B
Thank
you,
councilmember
palmisano.
I
too
would
appreciate
a
a
briefing
presentation
conversation
with
mr
kennedy,
or
or
at
least
the
committee
chair
and
and
whoever
else
to
get
a
better
understanding
of
this
proposed
pilot
project
as.
D
B
Oh,
yes,
you
are
my
apologies,
councilmember.
E
Cunningham,
yes,
thank
you,
madam
vice
president,
so
this
is
not
rearranging
the
decks
or
the
chairs
on
the
deck,
and
I
would
like
to
reiterate
that
the
operational
details
of
this
strategy
are
still
being
developed.
E
That
information
is
not
available
to
the
public
because
of
the
fact
that
that
staff
are
still
working
on
that.
This
was
meant
to
be
about
the
staff
direction
and
professor
kennedy
and
the
mpd
ovp
presentation.
E
E
He
presented
the
science,
the
social
science
and
the
data
science
behind
this
theory
that
is
driving
this
particular
enhancement
of
group
violence,
intervention.
What
we're
talking
about
is
reconfiguring
the
the
the
the
various
strategies
in
a
way
that
has
not
been
put
together
before
there
is.
There
will
be
more
details
as
I.
I
will
reiterate
that
there
that
there
will
be
a
presentation
to
the
public
health
and
safety
committee
with
all
of
those
details
fleshed
out
that
works.
That
work
takes
time.
E
I
felt
that
it
was
important
for
us
to
get
this
work
underway
asap
and
I
wanted
to
be
transparent
about
it,
which
is
why
I
brought
forward
a
staff
direction
so
that
we'd
be
able
to
begin
this
conversation.
So
this
is
not
just
rearranging
what
we
currently
have.
It
is
not
taking
up
a
vast
amount
of
staff
time
and
the
details
are
still
being
worked
out.
E
As
I
said
so
folks,
the
the
the
the
the
the
excuse
me,
the
briefings
that
you
would
get
from
david
kennedy
is
to
explain
the
science
behind
a
strategy
like
this.
He
is,
he
is
a
partner
in
in
developing
this,
but
I
just
want
to
be
clear.
The
operational
details
are
still
being
fleshed
out
by
staff
that
will
come
back
to
the
full
committee,
the
public
health
and
safety
committee
in
the
near
future.
Thank
you.
E
C
B
So
we
have
a
motion
and
a
proper
second
to
move
approval
of
the
staff
direction
or
item
number
11
on
our
agenda.
Is
there
any.
O
E
C
C
C
A
C
N
C
B
B
Thank
you
clerk
and
that
adam
kerry,
so
that
motion
is
approved.
This
committee's
recommendation
will
be
forwarded
to
friday's
council
meeting
for
final
action.
B
Our
last
discussion
item
is
the
equity
sub
committee
report
and
just
for
clarity.
The
chair
of
that
subcommittee,
councilmember
ellison
had
a
family
emergency,
and
so
I
will
assume
that
role
today
and
just
hope
that
everything
is
okay.
B
There
is
one
item
on
the
equity
subcommittee
agenda
today
and
it
is
the
regular
update
on
enterprise
product
progress
on
the
policy
and
operational
goals
and
priorities
that
have
been
identified
in
the
city's
strategic
and
racial
equity
action
plan
and
to
introduce
that
report
we
have
the
race,
equity
director,
miss
joy,
marsh
stevens,
miss
stevens,
welcome,
and
the
floor
is
yours.
P
Thank
you,
chair
jenkins
city,
council,
members
and
committee
members
as
council.
Vice
president
jenkins
stated,
this
is
our
quarterly
update
on
progress
for
the
strategic
and
racial
equity
action
plan.
I
will
provide
a
bit
of
context
just
to
reground
those
who
may
be
seeing
this
update
for
the
first
time
and
are
unfamiliar
with
how
it
is
we
got
here
and
am
very
happily
joined
by
process
owners
who
will
speak
more
specifically
to
the
progress
around
their
specific
policy
priority
next
slide.
Please
miss
stevens.
B
Before
you
continue,
can
I
just
interrupt
you
I'm
so
so
so?
Incredibly
sorry,
but
we
did
have
a
point
of
information
from
councilmember
palmison,
which
I
missed
in
the
queue
councilmember
paul
masano.
Did
you
need
some
clarification.
N
Yeah,
it
was
on
the
last
point
and
then
I
was
going
to
wait
until
after
joy's
piece,
but
if,
since
we
have
paused
here,
I
I
don't
understand
whether
this
staff
direction
is
creating
the
pilot,
the
vote
we
just
took
or
instructing
staff
to
research
a
pilot.
Last
week
when
I
went
back
through
the
video,
the
portion
that
I
surprisingly
missed,
I
thought
they
were
telling
staff
to
present
a
plan
today
for
a
possible
pilot.
N
J
Madam
vice
president,
this
is
casey.
I
might
be
able
to
add
a
little
bit
of
clarity
to
the
first
point
as
the
committee
clerk
reviews,
the
tally
on
the
vote,
and
that
is
this
is,
as
I
attempted
to
explain
the
beginning
of
miscommunication
on
my
part
that
this
staff
directive
did
not
need
to
come
to
this
committee.
It
was
simply
an
intent
to
report
out
that
it
was
being
done.
It
goes
to
council,
because
a
staff
direction
is,
as
all
council
members
should
know,
an
act
of
the
council.
J
Therefore,
it
needs
to
be
approved
by
the
council
this.
This
no
action
can
happen
until
the
council
approves
this
action,
then
staff
will
come
back
as
councilmember
cunningham
attempted
to
explain
to
a
future
meeting
of
the
public
health
and
safety
committee
to
report
out
the
results
of
that
staff
directive,
at
which
point
council
will
have
to
act
again
to
determine
if
it
wishes
to
proceed
or
not
with
the
recommendations
that
have
been
put
forward
in
that
staff
directive.
J
So
this
staff
directive
is
giving
staff
a
direction
to
to
go
and
pursue
and
come
back
with
recommendations
on
five
specific
points
that
are
listed
on
the
agenda
and
that's
it.
This
is
no
different
than
how
it
would
have
been
done
at
any
other
committee
meeting.
The
difference
here
is
that
I
suggested
that
it
might
need
to
come
to
pogo
because
we
did
not
yet
have
the
committee
reports
listed
at
the
bottom
of
the
agenda.
Simply
a
clerical
error.
J
I
I
very
much
apologize
for
that
miscommunication,
I'm
not
sure
if
ms
don
has
the
vote
tally
clarified,
but
I
hope,
madam
vice
president,
that
I've
clarified
that
point.
This
is
a
simple
staff
directive,
nothing
more.
B
Thank
you,
mr
clark,
and
thank
you
I'm
sorry
did
you
have
more.
I.
N
B
N
B
For
for
that
point
of
clarification,
council,
member
and
I'm
gonna
ask
the
clerk.
If
she
can
clear
up
the
boat
town.
B
Absence,
thank
you
miss
clark,
yeah.
I
think
you
missed
the
two
absence
on
the
first
two
of
the
four
absences
on
your
first
vote:
tally
council
president
bender.
K
K
Given
the
conversation
we
had
today,
where
we
were
sort
of
absent
the
information
that
we
had
been
given
at
committee
that
context
I'll
just
offer
to
follow
up
with
each
of
you
to
see
what
what
you
think
as
chairs
make
sense
for
that
reporting,
and
maybe
we
do
want
to
clarify
or
change
that
at
council
on
friday.
B
Thank
you
and
we
will
go
back
to
our
regular
uhly
scheduled
race,
strategic
race,
equity
update,
ms
stevens
and
again
I
apologize
for
the
interruption.
P
Thank
you,
chair
jenkins,
again
just
regrounding
folks
on
the
nature
of
the
strategic
and
racial
equity
action
plan
which
council
adopted
back
in
july
of
2019.
That
plan
has
seven
primary
components
that
are
designed
to
elevate
the
priorities
the
council
and
the
mayor
have
set
for
us
to
make
measurable
progress
in
reducing
racial
disparities.
P
The
first
four
of
those
are
operational,
so
they
focus
internal
to
our
city,
enterprise,
the
first
one
being
around
workforce,
which
is
managed
by
our
human
resources
department
and
focuses
on
increasing
the
hiring
and
retention
of
people
of
color
and
indigenous
people
inside
of
the
city's
workforce.
P
The
second
on
spend
is
around
increasing
the
percent
percent
count
of
spend
with
racially
and
ethnically
diverse
suppliers
across
all
city
departments.
That
priority
area
is
led
by
our
city,
our
city,
coordinator's
office,
civil
rights
and
procurement.
P
Around
data
we're
looking
at
improving
the
use
of
racially
disaggregated
data
in
the
decision
decision-making
process,
and
that
is
co-led
by
the
city
clerk
as
well
as
race
and
equity,
and
then,
lastly,
around
community
engagement,
which
is
how
we
are
supporting
our
appointed
boards
and
commissions
and
their
capa
and
their
capacity
to
think
critically
about
race
as
they're,
providing
advisory
guidance
back
to
the
city
that
priority
area
is
also
chaired
by
the
city
clerk
and
that
division
of
race
and
equity
next
slide.
Please.
P
P
I
want
to
just
again
elevate
that
these
priorities,
as
established
by
city
council
and
the
mayor,
are
written
in
a
very
finite
and
specific
way
because
they
are
designed
for
us
to
be
able
to
to
demonstrate
measurable
progress
in
reducing
disparities
within
the
three
years
that
this
plan
is
active
and
that
three-year
period
ends
one
year
into
the
next
council
charm,
counseling,
mayoral
term
next
slide.
P
So
the
presentation,
as
in
previous
years,
will
look
specifically
at
the
strategic
need
which
council
adopted
formally
in
adopting
this
reap
as
a
policy
document.
The
goal,
the
metrics
of
urgency
in
the
vital
view,
projects
which
indicate
the
work
that
process
owners
are
doing
in
order
to
meet
the
goal
and
to
satisfy
the
strategic
need.
P
The
strategic
needs,
as
established
in
policy,
are
again
as
policy
documents.
Those
are
not
designed
to
change
unless
council
acts
to
have
them
changed,
but
process
owners
have
been
given
the
latitude
in
meeting
the
strategic
need
to
adjust
the
goals
to
re-clarify
the
metrics
of
urgency
and
certainly
to
build
out
whatever
meaningful
work
and
steps
that
they
need
to
take.
In
order
to
accomplish
that
goal.
So
there
may
be
some
fluctuations
on
some
of
those
other
points,
but
the
strategic
needs
should
remain
the
same
next
slide.
P
The
report
uses
a
stoplight
to
indicate
progress
with
green,
yellow
and
red
indicating
green.
Obviously,
all
things
are
are
going
our
metrics.
The
data
is
trending
positively.
P
The
vital
few
projects,
meaning
that
the
tasks
that
we
had
intended
to
to
complete
that
we've
completed
yellow,
indicates
that,
while
we're
not
trimming
positively
we're
pretty
clear
on
what
it
is
that
we
need
to
tackle
either
in
shifting
the
data
in
a
more
positive
direction
or
in
getting
our
projects
and
our
tasks
back
on
schedule.
P
When
it's
read,
what
we're
essentially
indicating,
is
that
not
only
are
we
not
trending
positively
we're
not
entirely
clear
as
to
why
that
is
the
case
and
we're,
and
perhaps
a
little
bit
concerned
that
we
may
not
get
back
to
green
within
the
next
one
to
two
reporting
periods.
That's
both
true
with
the
data.
What
the
data
is
telling
us
and
the
vital
few
projects
for
the
tasks
that
we
had
intended
to
complete
period
over
period
next
slide.
P
Certainly
we're
all
aware
of
the
impact
of
kobed
and
the
civil
unrest
and
the
and
the
impact
that
that
has
had
as
we
as
the
city
hadn't
have
strip
have
have
tackled
those
simultaneous
crises
that
that
has
impacted
some
of
our
work
that
has
been
delayed
and
some
of
our
work
that
has
been
shifted.
P
Nevertheless,
our
commitment
to
advancing
racial
equity,
both
long-term
and
short-term,
has
kept
that
in
the
front
and
the
forefront
of
our
work.
And
so
while
we
remain
committed
to
these
goals,
some
of
the
work
has
changed
and
and
we'll
see
the
impact
of
some
of
that
in
the
actual
reportouts
that
are
coming
from
the
policy
priority
areas.
P
But
we
will
also
see,
although
I
indicated
on
a
previous
slide,
that
some
of
our
metrics
of
urgency
that
we
can't
adjust
those
over
time,
we
will
need
to
do
some
more
work
with
policy
priority
areas
in
order
to
be
able
to
shift
some
of
the
metrics
so
that
they
more
accurately
align
with
some
of
our
work.
That
has
shifted
so
that
we're
able
to
continue
to
demonstrate
progress.
P
And
one
of
the
reasons
why
that's
critically
important
is
because
the
strategic
and
racial
equity
action
plan
is
a
short-term
strategic
planning
document.
It's
not
designed
to
measure
progress
10
years
from
now,
but
to
measure
progress
within
a
three-year
period,
and
it's
very
important
that
that
document
reflect
reflect
accurately
both
social
and
political
changes
that
are
happening
and
how
our
work
needs
to
adjust.
P
So
overall
from
again
that
this
is
where
that
dashboard
comes
into
play,
we're
seeing
yellow
screens
and
and
a
red
as
far
as
overall
progress.
P
Much
of
this
is
again
indicated
by
not
that
we're
not
working
hard
in
these
specific
areas
to
meet
goals
and
to
respond
to
the
strategic
need,
but
that,
but
the
simultaneous
crises
that
we
are
that
we
are
addressing
both
around
covid
and
the
civil
unrest
and
our
need
to
refine
in
many
instances
our
data
or
to
be
able
to
increase
our
capacity
to
do
the
work
that
we
hoped
to
be
doing
at
this
time.
In
order
to
be
able
to
make
progress
that
we
need
to
do
some
more
adjusting
there.
P
Q
Q
Thank
you
very
much.
We
want
to
go
to
the
first
slide
in
just
a
bit
of
context
with
regard
to
how
we
are
measuring
our
metric
of
urgency.
It
is
measured
on
a
12-month
rolling
basis
for
the
year
and
so
for
this
quarter.
Three
update
the
reporting
time
period
is
specifically
for
october
1st
2019
through
september
30th
2020..
Q
Please
I'm
just
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
more,
just
a
little
more
about
just
our
highlights,
as
the
workforce
as
joy
is
mentioned,
as
the
city
continues
to
navigate
through
the
various
crises
that
we've
had
to
look
at
and
work
through.
The
work
across
the
enterprise
has
also
been
delayed,
which
has
also
directly
impacted
our
workforce
and
also
has
resulted
in
a
shift
in
hr's
priorities,
as
we
seek
to
support
a
variety
of
stakeholders,
including
city
leaders,
which
include
department,
leaders
and
policy
makers,
managers
and
employees.
Q
I
also
would
like
to
report
that
we
have
partnered
in
terms
of
our
current
and
future
activities
with
the
city
coordinators
office,
regarding
the
definitions
of
various
caucus
and
safe
brave
space
opportunities
for
employees
and
leaders.
The
city
coordinator's
office
has
communicated
this
information
to
department
leadership
during
the
month
of
during
this
month.
Q
We've
also
designed
and
launched
the
survey
to
gather
feedback
regarding
the
city's
recent
furlough
process
and
I'm
happy
to
report
that
we've
had
a
71
response
rate
from
depart
from
departments
this
week,
we're
currently
in
the
process
of
reviewing
and
analyzing
the
data
that
will
be
factored
into
the
work
that
the
city
coordinator's
office
is
doing.
Q
We
also
are
in
the
process
of
reviewing
and
analyzing
the
impact
of
furloughs
retirements
and
layoff
processes
on
our
backpack
employees
that
is
beginning
this
month
and
will
continue
on
until
approximately
january
2021,
when
we'll
have
additional
data
with
regard
to
those
areas,
we
are
launching
a
pulse
survey
beginning
next
month
and
we
have
added
questions
regarding
covet
and
racial
equity
that
will
be
launched
by
my
department
and
will
be
done,
launched
enterprise-wide
and
lastly,
we
have
also
continued
to
facilitate
monthly
meetings
with
employee
resource
group,
leaderships
and
executive
sponsors.
B
H
B
Well,
thank
you
and
we
can
move
on
to
our
next
update.
P
Okay,
so
next
slide,
please,
we
should
be
moving
on
to
spend.
I
believe
our
civil
rights
department
is
providing
this
update.
G
G
If
we
go
to
the
first
slide
here,
you
can
see
that
our
metrics
of
urgency,
as
well
as
our
vital
few
projects
shown
earlier
by
ms
stevens,
are
both
yellow,
both
trending,
yellow
the
metric
of
urgency
data
is
not
trending
positively.
However,
we
do
believe
we
know
the
cause
and
are
making
course
corrections
as
needed.
G
To
put
that
into
context,
we've
seen
a
75
decrease
in
spend
with
for-profit
companies
in
the
area
of
professional
services
since
in
comparison
to
q2,
and
so
the
utilization
rates
that
we're
seeing
here
in
q3
are
the
actual
dollar
amounts,
are
quite
small.
G
So,
to
begin,
if
I
can
draw
your
attention
to
the
first
line,
a
bright
spot
in
this
data
is
that
we
are
exceeding
our
target
for
professional
service,
spend
with
african-american
owned
businesses,
and
this
is
believed
to
be
in
part
because
of
the
specific
initiatives
and
recovery
efforts
surrounding
coven.
19
has
allowed
very
specific
types
of
consulting
services
to
be
used
which
happen
to
have
high
availability
in
our
target
market
program.
G
G
So
now
the
results
that
feel
a
little
bit
more
aligned
with
how
2020
is
going
as
a
whole
and
overall
here
you'll
see
that
there
is
a
noticeable
decrease
in
the
percent
of
spend
among
native
and
hispanic
american-owned.
Businesses,
as
I
mentioned
before,
decreases
in
spend
result
in
fewer
opportunities
and
when
availability
is
already
so
low
it.
G
It
means
that
we
have
to
find
very
specific
opportunities
within
a
small
pool
of
available
firms,
and
so,
while
every
dollar
does
matter,
these
results
are
not
overly
concerning,
and
we
believe
that
the
strategies
that
we
have
in
place
for
q4
and
forward
and
beyond
will
help
remedy
this.
G
G
Managers
with
purchasing
power,
as
well
as
for
department
and
division
directors,
the
training
is
focused
on
why
it's
important
to
embrace
inclusive
procurement
as
a
practice
and
will
be
followed
up
in
cohort
style
learnings
in
a
conscious
effort
to
continue
the
practice
it's
been
noted
before,
but
part
of
the
part
of
collecting
this
data
is,
we
aren't
able
to
track
our
total
spend
because
secondary
spend
in
our
subcontracting
is
so
important
to
a
total
picture
of
our
our
diverse
spend
and
we
don't
have
a
mechanism
outside
of
the
small
underutilized
business
goals
that
are
set
to
track
that
to
do
so
would
require
additional
resources
for
technology
and
or
staff,
and
due
to
the
budget
constraints
that
covet
has
imparted
on
us,
no
additional
resources
were
requested
in
2021,
and
so
we're
we're
tabling
that
activity
and
the
final
slide
for
q4,
like
I
said,
the
supplier
diversity
coordinating
team,
has
been
convened
and
is
in
the
process
of
developing
a
new
vital
few
projects.
G
But
we
also
will
continue
with
the
rollout
of
the
living
cities
initiative
where
procurement
will
be
working
with
departments
to
forecast,
and
there
will
also
be
a
target
market
program.
Utilization
report
by
department
on
published
on
city
talk
and
I
am
happy
to
stand
for
any
questions.
B
B
Questions
any
questions
see
none.
Let's
move
to
report
around
data.
O
Good
afternoon,
vice
president
jenkins
committee
members,
so
I'm
nick
campbell
with
division
of
race
and
equity
I'll
be
providing
brief
updates
on,
as
joyce
said,
both
data
and
community
engagement
priorities.
So
if
you
go
to
the
oh
yeah,
you
can
stay
on
this
slide.
So
just
as
a
quick
reminder,
the
data
priority,
the
goal
is
to
have
all
rcas,
which
are
required
to
have
a
racial
equity
impact
analysis
to
have
one
included
when
an
item
is
submitted
for
council
action.
O
So,
as
you
can
see
overall
the
number
of
times
an
reia
was
required
stayed
relatively
consistent
from
last
quarter
to
this
quarter
and
while
the
percent
of
while
the
percent
of
times
it
was
included,
increased
it
actually
about
doubled
from
from
last
quarter,
so
we're
showing
a
positive
trend
there,
which
is
good.
We
think
that
one
of
the
important
factors
that
has
increased
the
use
of
the
ratio,
equity
impact
analysis
is
the
fact
that
the
clerk's
office
finalized
embedding
the
reia
into
the
limbs
system
this
quarter.
O
So
essentially
that
means
that
when
staff
go
into
limbs
to
submit
an
rca,
if
that
particular
action
requires
an
reia,
they
are
then
required
to
fill
it
up,
fill
it
out
before
they
submit
it,
and
so
we
hope
this
contributes
to
continued
uptick
in
its
usage
next
quarter
and
moving
forward
or
for
moving
forward.
O
If
you
go
to
the
next
slide,
please
so
last
quarter
division.
I
also
worked
with
the
office
of
performance
innovation
to
enhance
the
2020
minneapolis
reporting
templates
to
give
departments
an
opportunity
to
show
how
their
work
will
advances.
Racial
equity
through
that
reporting
process,
and
we
also
collaborated
with
internal
audit
to
build
a
racial
equity
impact
impact
work
paper
that
they're
going
to
be
using
in
their
audit
process
as
well.
O
So
we
anticipate
that
both
the
addition
of
race,
race,
equity
considerations
in
results
and
audit
will
result
in
in
deeper
consideration
of
racial
equity,
specifically
in
city
programming,
and
so,
if
you
want
to
the
next
slide,
please.
O
Lastly,
with
the
city
again
responding
to
so
many
crises
and
issues,
the
racial
equity
impact
analysis
is
often
getting
brought
in.
On
the
back
end
of
the
process.
We're
finding
which,
in
a
lot
of
ways,
limits
its
effectiveness
of
the
tool
itself,
and
so
we
hope
that
offering
continued
assistance
supports
departments
will
lead
to
the
tool
being
used
as
early
on
in
the
decision
making
process
as
possible.
O
O
One
of
the
challenges
that
we're
facing
is
that
there's
just
not
a
standard
process
that
captures
when
abcs
provide
policy
guidance
to
the
city,
unlike
the
legislative
process
that
has
a
very
defined
and
structured
way
that
that
legislative
items
are
captured.
So
while
we
we
have
finalized
a
structure
for
capturing
when
an
reia
is
used
in
the
recommendations
themselves,
we
need
to
identify
a
process
for
capturing
that
first
metric
before
we
can
begin
tracking
progress
in
the
priority.
O
So
we're
still,
we
listed
this
as
a
yellow,
even
though
we
haven't
been
able
to
track
any
metrics
yet
just
because
we
feel
like
we
have.
We
have
a
plan
for
how
we're
gonna
be
able
to
do
that
moving
forward.
If
you
wanna
go
to
the
next
slide.
O
So
during
the
last
quarter,
we
have
been
collaborating
with
the
clerk's
office
on
communicating
the
racial
equity
impact
analysis
out
to
abc
staff.
As
I
mentioned,
we're
also.
We
also
finalized
the
reporting
structure
for
capturing
when
abc's
are
using
the
reia.
O
If
you
wanna
go
to
the
next
slide,
in
addition
to
determining
a
process
for
tracking
when
abc's
provide
policy
guidance
to
the
city,
this
quarter,
we
plan
to
bring
together
staff
who
work
with
the
charter.
Commission,
the
planning
commission,
the
racial
equity
community
advisory
committee
and
the
trans
equity
council
to
provide
some
guidance
on
the
development
of
an
abc,
specific
reia
form
and
guide.
So
we
kind
of
have
a
general
guide
right
now,
but
we're
going
to
be
developing
some
more
targeted
and
specific
resources
just
for
abc
staff
and
abc's.
O
O
Lastly,
due
to
covid,
and
also
just
like
a
current
amount
of
vacancies
on
on
abc's,
there's
been
a
general
reduction
in
activity
and
as
we
develop,
but
as
we
develop
some
of
these
specific
resources,
we
anticipate
that
the
use
of
the
rich
equity
impact
analysis
on
recommendations
coming
in
for
key
city
priorities
will
happen,
such
as
community
safety
effort
efforts
and
budget
recommendations.
O
O
B
You
miss
campbell.
Is
there
any
urgent
questions.
B
P
Right
so
director
I
mean
so,
commissioner:
music
camp
from
the
health
department,
I
believe,
is
providing
this
update
on
public
safety.
F
I'm
here
just
trying
to
activate
everything.
Thank
you
very
much.
So
we'll
take
the
first
slide.
Please.
F
So,
as
you
may
recall,
this
public
safety
priority
we
identified
really
of
an
upstream
goal.
Our
strategic
need
was
to
increase
the
number
of
black
indigenous
and
people
of
color
ages,
10
to
24
years
living
in
higher
violence,
areas
of
minneapolis
participate
in
high
quality,
youth
development
programs
and,
as
joymar
stevens
already
pointed
out,
our
trajectory
has
been
influenced
by
kovid.
F
Certainly
that
has
impacted
our
staff
availability
and
resources.
Our
research
team
is
doing
contact
tracing,
and
so
it's
not
available
to
help
us
with
some
of
the
development
of
metrics,
but
also
it
has
really
set
back
the
availability
of
these
high
quality
programs
for
youth
overall
after
school
programs
parks
and
so
on,
and
so
we
have
temporarily
moved
in
the
wrong
direction
as
a
community,
as
well
as
our
our
progress
in
our
in
our
work
on
this
priority.
F
But
hopefully
that
part
that
I
just
described
as
short
term
and
so
our
goal
would
be
to
increase
the
number
of
and
percent
of
black
indigenous
and
people
of
color
ages,
10
to
24
living
in
high
violence
areas
who
are
reported
as
victims
or
perpetrators
of
violence,
and
and
as
we
know,
even
though
I
don't
have
those
numbers
here
to
report
for
you
as
part
of
this
report,
those
numbers
have
have
gone
up
this
year
as
well,
and
so
to
me
that
really
reinforces
the
need
for
us
to
have
this
priority.
F
F
So
some
of
the
things
that
we
had
hoped
to
do
were
related
to
identifying
better
metrics
or
ways
to
measure
our
metrics
of
urgency,
and
so
we
would
like
to
define
high
quality
programming
we'd
like
to
define
what
these
neighborhoods
are
and
are
ready
to
do
that
in
the
fourth
quarter.
The
larger
pogo
committee
was
just
had
an
agenda
that
was
not
conducive
to
thinking
about
setting
bringing
forward
definitions
for
consideration.
F
So
now
that
we
have
a
different
committee
structure,
we
think
that
in
in
the
fourth
quarter,
we'll
be
able
to
bring
forward
some
some
recommendations
and
that's
why
we
have
a
yellow
there,
because
we
think
we'll
make
some
progress
on
defining
that.
Also,
the
youth
coordinating
board
is
working
on
their
what's
up
612,
which
will
be
a
way
to
catalog
some
of
the
programming
for
youth
that
we
really
don't
have
yet
and
so
again
that
will
help
us
in
our
measurement
tactics.
F
So
some
of
the
key
activities
we
have
completed
in
quarter
three,
we
did
compile
information
about
existing
youth
development
programs,
starting
with
city
funded
programs
for
2018
expenditures,
and
we
got
a
62
response
rate
from
departments
so
you'll
see
over
in
the
in
the
pink
side.
We
are
planning
to
move
forward
in
q4
to
do
a
similar
analysis
for
2019
budget
and
hope
that
our
compliance
or
response
rate
increases
so
that
we
have
a
better
handle
on
on
the
city.
F
Investment
in
use
youth
violence
prevention,
programming
as
a
place
to
start,
as
I
mentioned,
the
the
gap
that
was
created
because
of
covet
19.
We
also
have
worked
with
city
partners,
youth,
coordinating
board,
community
education
from
the
public
schools,
the
parks
and
rec
ymca
ywca
hennepin
county
libraries
to
create
some
positive
pop-up
parks
that
operated
most
days
of
the
week
for
about
seven
weeks
this
summer,
so
trying
to
fill
that
gap,
at
least
in
a
in
a
stop
gap.
F
Sort
of
way,
and
as
I
mentioned,
we
are
hoping
to
make
good
progress
on
the
what's
up
612,
which
will
give
us
a
cataloging
of
youth
programming
beyond
what
the
city
itself
is
able
to
finance.
F
And
I
think
of
note
also,
however,
is
the
mayor
prior
to
kovit
19
had
established
minneapolis
youth
investment
task
force
to
look
at
pulling
together
various
funders,
both
private
and
public,
to
think
about
how
do
we
begin
to
invest
a
little
bit
more,
as
we've
seen
the
overall
investment
in
youth
programming
diminish
for
more
than
more
than
a
decade?
How
do
we
bring
some
investment
back
into
that
sector
and
those
meetings
were
suspended
with
coved
and
so
there's
a
need
to
either
reactivate
that
group,
or
at
least
reactivate
that
type
of
conversation?
F
We
recommend
restarting
that
advisory
group
that
hopefully
will
bring
some
funding
together
to
invest
in
youth
programming,
and
we
are
now
on
our
path
to
be
a
child-friendly
city
and
as
part
of
that,
one
of
the
expectations
is
that
we
engage
young
people
in
decision
making,
and
so
this
particular
area
seems
right
for
having
more
youth
and
young
adults
helping
us
think
through
our
strategies
and
participate
in
our
decision
making.
So
I'll
stop
there.
If
there's
any
questions
at
this
time,.
B
I
know
I
I
really
want
to
be
complimentary
to
everybody
for
these
reports
and
it
really
makes
sense
how
we
have
structured
our
work,
because
we
see
now
with
this
pandemic
and
subsequent
uprisings
like
this
is
where
most
of
our
challenges
are
and
so
to
be
able
to
direct
our
attention
to
these
areas.
It
seems
really
critical
at
this
point,
but
we're
continuously
losing
council
members,
so
I
want
to
be
able
to
get
to
the
report.
B
R
You
good
afternoon,
I'm
kim
keller
here
to
present
for
the
regulatory
services
and
cped
team
on
the
housing
indicator.
Both
andrea
brennan
and
katie
topeka
from
cpad
have
conflicts
with
today's
meeting,
but
they
send
their
regards
next
slide.
Please,
the
strategic
need
for
housing
is
to
reduce
involuntary
displacement
in
rental
housing
for
black
indigenous
and
people
of
culture
communities.
R
The
overall
status
of
the
indicator
is
green,
representing
our
ability
to
continue
our
planned
work,
reflecting
on
the
metrics
of
urgency
themselves.
Rig
services
and
cped
have
maintained
green
status
on
three
of
them.
The
fourth
metric
the
number
of
households
served
and
the
dollars
recovered
through
legal
aid
is
yellow
due
to
reduction
of
five
cases
and
a
slightly
lower
dollar
amount.
R
We
should
expect
some
minor
fluctuation
in
our
metrics
and,
as
we
gain
additional
data
over
time,
it
may
be
helpful
to
establish
an
average
which
that
an
individual
quarter
could
be
measured
against
next
slide
in
rig
services
highlights
of
q3
work
around
this
metric
include
structural
changes
to
support
and
advance
the
rent
to
first
approach,
including
planning
and
internal
reorganization
and
classifying
our
rental
housing
liaisons
as
official
job
titles.
There
are
also
programmatic
changes,
including
development
of
a
new
renter-led
licensing
inspection
that
utilizes
both
in-person
and
virtual
components.
R
We
also
focused
energy
on
training
and
education
around
the
renter
protection
ordinances.
The
city
saw
an
immense
increase
in
the
number
of
large
homeless
encampments
this
summer,
as
described
under
the
activities
completed
in
q3
section
of
the
slide.
This
translated
into
enormous
amounts
of
work
being
done
primarily
by
cped
to
respond
to
emergency
shelter,
operations
and
filling
gaps
in
our
affordable
housing.
Continuum.
R
Cped
and
reg
services
have
been
working
on
policies
such
as
buildings,
with
single
room
occupancy
and
alternative
shelter
options
that
would
further
support
this
emergency
work,
long
term
and
as
part
of
kobod
response
efforts.
Cped
staff
identified
a
need
to
provide
additional
funds
to
legal
aid
for
eviction
prevention,
recognizing
that,
when
an
eviction
moratorium
expires,
there
will
be
a
significant
need
for
legal
representation.
R
Through
this
work
and
council
action,
the
city
has
committed
1.2
million
dollars
for
legal
aid
in
the
next
two
years
for
eviction
prevention
work
following
slide.
Please
there
is
a
lot
of
important
work
for
plan
for
q4
and
choosing
just
a
couple
of
activities
to
highlight
is
difficult.
I
do
want
to
call
out
the
specific
work
that
cpad
has
planned
to
continue
addressing
housing
barriers,
including
filling
gaps
in
the
housing
continuum.
We
anticipate
opening
two
low
barrier
culturally
specific
homeless,
shelters
in
q4.
B
Again,
this
these
reports
really
show
how
you
know
our
strategic
race,
equity
planning,
really
sort
of
matches
up
with
the
challenges
that
we
are
experiencing
in
our
city.
Right
now,
I
see
mr
hansen
on
the
line
and
I'm
assuming
you're
gonna
provide
us
with
an
economic
development
update.
S
Yes,
madam
vice
president
members
of
the
community,
my
name
is
eric
hanson,
I'm
the
city's
director
of
economic
policy
and
development,
I'm
here
to
present
the
economic
policy
report.
The
first
slide
lists
the
metrics
that
we
aspired
to
collect
this
year.
As
you
can
see,
we
are
not
unscheduled
to
meet
these
metrics
with
the
passage
of
the
economic
development
sweep
goals.
Last
year,
we
planned
to
build
out
data
for
each
of
these
metrics
earlier
this
year.
S
After
the
completion
of
the
2019
economic
development
program
review
that
concluded
with
a
report
to
the
city
council
in
early
january,
the
pandemic
and
subsequent
unrest
after
the
death
of
george
floyd
shifted
our
priorities
away
from
this
work
and
towards
other
initiatives
in
support
of
the
city's
bipoc
entrepreneurs
with
the
changing
economic
environment.
Due
to
the
pandemic,
we
will
return
to
the
city
council
in
2021,
with
a
new
set
of
reportable
metrics
that
reflect
the
work
that
is
underway
to
meet
our
strategic
need
to
increase
our
connection
with
bypoc
entrepreneurs.
Next
slide.
S
The
activities
listed
on
this
slideshow,
our
team's
work
over
the
past
quarter.
This
includes
work
in
improving
the
technical
assistance
services
for
our
small
business
entrepreneurs
through
our
btap
program,
assessing
impacts
of
civil
unrest
and
unlock,
helping
with
unlocking
federal
resources
for
the
recovery
and
the
city
council.
Helping
the
city
council
approve
the
cultural,
district's,
ordinance
and
funding
and
approving
the
commercial
property
development
fund.
S
S
We
are
cleaning
up
destroyed
properties
throughout
the
city
with
the
help
of
an
appropriation
from
the
city
council
to
two
million
dollars
to
address
the
critical
needs
of
those
properties
impacted
by
the
unrest
and
connecting
volunteers
volunteer
resources
with
needs.
With
that,
I
can
take
any
questions
you
might.
B
Are
there
any
questions?
I
don't
see
any
so
thank
you
for
that.
So
update
all
right
I'll
turn
it
over.
P
So
that
is
our
last
slide:
the
policy
priority
areas
I
also
want
to
to
uplift
the
addendum-
that's
part
of
that
council
packet
today-
that
provides
more
detail
into
each
of
these
policy
priority
areas,
since
we
were
only
planning
for
a
very
short
brief
high
level
update
today.
So
there's
infinite
more
detail
within
that
packet
to
help
elevate
the
other
pieces
of
work
that
staff
have
been
doing
to
advance
our
progress
in
these
areas.
P
I
definitely
also
want
to
commend
staff
who
work
really
hard
to
pull
this
update
together
and
specifically
naming
within
recent
equity,
nick
campbell
and
loveland
de
zhang,
who
worked
really
hard
and
the
policy
priority
area
process
owners
who
have
remained
committed
to
implementing
this
plan
with
fidelity
and
continue
to
be
very
strong
partners
with
us
in
race
and
equity
to
pull
this
report
together,
so
deep
gratitude
to
all
of
the
staff
time
that
goes
into
this
presentation
and
certainly
do
reach
out
to
us.
P
If
you
have
additional
questions
after
this,
this
meeting,
both
around
content
of
the
presentation
and
any
additional
feedback
you
can
offer,
if
necessary,
as
we
continue
to
grow
and
enhance
the
presentation.
So
that
it's
meeting
your
expectations
as
council
members
and
and
communicating
progress
on
the
goals
that
you've
set.
B
Thank
you,
mr
stevens,
for
for
this
update
and
your
team
and
all
of
the
process
owners
who
presented
today.
We
we
really
need
to
make
sure
that
we
are
keeping
the
council
informed
and
apprised
of
progress,
and
really
you
know
hoping
to
see
regard
I
mean
we
understand
that
un,
unplanned
unprecedented
events,
have
really
sort
of
disrupted
our
work
plans
for
the
year.
However,
it's
really
important
for
us,
I
think,
to
stay
on
this
strategic
path,
because
it
does
address
youth,
violence,
housing
and
homelessness.
B
Members
experiencing
so
thank
you
for
these
reports
and
with
that
I
will
ask
the
clerk
to
receive
and
file
these
reports.
B
And
we
will
make
the
motion
to
receive
and
file
this
report
and
then
asked
clark
to
call
the
role.
C
C
C
B
B
J
Madam
president,
this
is
casey
receive
and
file
items
do
not
require
a
vote,
there's
no
action
being
taken
and
the
clerk
would
receive
and
file
the
report
anyways.
So
since
no
action
is
taken,
you'll
just
direct
the
clerk
to
receive
and
file
that
report
and
that'll
be
fine.
B
Thank
you,
mr
clerk
and
ms
clark.
Please
receive
and
file
this
report.
So
now
we
have
reports
of
our
standing
committees,
our
new
standing
committees,
and
so
I
will
ask
those
chairs
to
provide
a
a
very
brief
update.
I
think
we
there
may
be
more
from
public
health
and
safety
and
this
new
process.
B
May
have
not
been
communicated
so,
if
you're
not
prepared
with
a
a
report,
this
cycle,
that
is
understandable
as
well
I'll
first
call
on
the
budget
committee
and
chair
promisano.
N
Thank
you,
madam
vice
president.

questions,
see
none?
The
next
committee
report
is
the
audit
committee
given
by
it's
chair
council,
member
palm
osano.
N
We
had
a
conversation
from
our
state
auditors
department
that
did
a
full
review
of
what
our
state
audit
looked
like
this
year.
It
was
in
good
shape
and
we've
wrapped
up
a
lot
of
old,
outstanding
audit
issues,
as
you
might
imagine,
a
review
like
that's
fairly
difficult
during
this
time
of
covid,
where
most
of
the
auditor's
work
is
done
in
person
asking
for
things
and
doing
sampling
by
hand
and
stuff.
N
The
second
piece
was
an
audit
plan
for
the
office
of
police
conduct
review
and
our
body-worn
camera
program.
That
is
is
interesting
and
I
invite
people
to
take
a
look
at
it
in
more
depth.
There
was
some
really
good
news
and
it
was
about
our
sexual
assault,
audit
kits
and
our
plan
for
them
going
forward.
N
I
have
to
say
that
between
these
three
great
women,
christina
warren
from
the
hennepin
county,
attorney's
office,
darcy
horn
from
our
police
department
and
the
manny
jaffar
from
opcr,
they
have
a
great
plan
at
how
we
address
things
in
a
very
victim-centered
way,
and
we've
also
had
great
news
from
our
state
in
how
we,
in
the
future
house,
these
audit
kits
in
a
better
way
for
for
victims
and
for
seeking
justice
alike.
So
that
was
a
really
important
piece
of
the
presentation.
N
B
I
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
The
executive
committee
report
contains
one
item
coming
to
council,
which
is
consideration
of
mayor
fry's,
nomination
to
appoint
brian
tyner
to
the
position
of
fire
chief.
I
We
did
have
a
couple
other
items
at
committee,
hiring
freeze
waiver
report
and
the
leadership
development
with
racial
equity
focus
report,
but
I
I'm
pretty
sure
unless
the
clerk
tells
me
otherwise,
I'm
pretty
sure
those
are
just
contained
a
committee
and
are
not
coming
on
the
council
and
I'll
stand
for
any
questions.
B
Thank
you,
councilmember,
johnson
and,
and
I
believe
you
are
correct.
We
were
in
committee.
We
were
just
alerted
of
the
leadership
development
work
that
is
being
done
and
so
there's
nothing
to
bring
forward
to
date,
happy
that
the
nomination
for
fire
chief
is
coming
forward,
and
with
that
we
have
no
other
items
on
our
agenda
kylie's.
You
know
I
do
apologize
for
the
length
of
today's
meeting.
