C
Thank
you
and
welcome.
I'm
lisa
bender,
I'm
the
chair
of
the
policy
government
oversight
committee
and
I'll
call
to
order
our
regular
meeting
for
thursday
august
6th
I'll
note
for
the
record
that
this
meeting
has
remote
participation
by
council
members
and
city
staff
as
authorized
under
the
minnesota
open
meeting
law,
section
13d
.021
due
to
the
declared
state
of
local
public
health
emergency
at
this
time,
I'll
ask
the
clerk
to
call
the
role
to
verify
the
presence
of
a
quorum.
D
E
D
F
D
B
C
Let
the
record
reflect
that
we
have
a
quorum
for
today's
meeting.
We
have
four
public
hearings
on
the
agenda
for
today.
The
first
hearing
is
on
the
mayor's
proposed
appointment
of
jim
rauter
for
the
position
of
city
attorney,
which
has
been
referred
to
us
by
the
executive
committee
before
opening
the
hearing
I'll
see
if
mayor
fry
is
on
the
call
and
would
like
to
speak
to
the
nomination.
C
G
Thank
you.
Madam
president.
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
to
speak
to
this
appointment.
Thank
you
also
to
members
of
the
pogo
committee
for
offering
me
another
opportunity
to
share
my
thoughts
about
the
the
nominee
for
city
attorney,
which
is,
of
course,
mr
jim
router,
as
I've
said
to
many
of
you
many
times
before.
G
Jim's
experience,
jim's,
legal
and
community
experience
truly
does
speak
for
itself
and
by
now
I
know
that
many
of
you
have
had
the
opportunity
to
speak
with
jim
directly
about
both
his
career,
his
vision
for
the
city
and
how
he
intends
to
to
have
an
impact
here
in
minneapolis,
and
undoubtedly
you
were
met
with
very
thorough
and
thoughtful
responses
to
the
questions
that
you
provided
and
just
one
of
the
reasons
why
I'm
so
excited
about
this
addition
to
our
team
here
at
city
hall
is,
he
really
does
have
a
robust
sense
of
where
we
need
to
go
as
well
as
a
very
clear
understanding
of
the
law
and
great
managerial
experience
when
it
comes
to
attorneys,
and
not
only
has
jim
made
the
time
to
speak
to
this
body
of
elected
officials.
H
G
And
leaders,
but
I
want
to
to
thank
all
of
you
for
your
commitment-
thank
you
for
digging
in.
I
ask
you
for
your
support
of
mr
jim
router,
again
his
experience
his
willingness
to
dig
in
his
work
on
the
workplace
advisory
committee.
I
think
it
speaks
for
for
itself,
and
you
know
this
is.
This
is
another
example
of
someone
who's
obviously
had
a
very
successful
career
in
the
private
sector.
G
Over
at
target
has
maintained
throughout
a
very
keen
vision
for
what
social
justice
can
and
should
look
like,
and
now
he
has
a
calling.
He
has
a
calling
to
do
the
very
hard
work
of
being
a
city
attorney
here
at
the
city,
and
I
don't
think
that
anyone
would
dispute
that
this
is
one
of
the
harder
jobs
that
we
have
in
in
city
hall.
G
C
J
Hi
good
hi,
this
is
corinne
horowitz.
Thank
you,
councilmember
for
letting
me
join
the
call
I'm
I
called
into
to
support
the
appointment
of
jim
router
for
the
position
of
minneapolis
city
attorney.
Over
the
past
seven
years,
jim
has
worked
alongside
unions,
small
businesses
and
community
groups
to
advance
policies
that
improve
the
quality
of
workplaces
across
our
city
and
region
from
band
the
box
to
15..
J
We
often
met
outside
of
city-led
meetings
to
discuss
the
policies
and
we
worked
together
in
coalition
and
earned
second
state
time
in
2016
and
then
15
the
following
year.
Jim
also
worked
to
bring
target
into
conversations
around
paid
family
medical
leave
at
a
state
level,
as
target
was
working
on
the
issues
that
employees
needed
longer
term
leave.
J
K
C
Okay,
it
sounds
like
miss.
Philton
is
not
on
the
line.
If
she
joins,
we
will
check
back
to
make
sure
everyone
gets
a
chance
to
speak.
The
next
person
is
veronica
mendez-moore.
Welcome.
L
Okay,
great,
I
think
I'm
unmuted
can
folks
hear
me.
L
Okay,
great
okay,
so
I
am
veronica
mendez-moore.
I
in
many
ways
am
an
unlikely
supporter
of
jim
rodder
for
the
position,
the
city
attorney,
but
I'm
calling
today
to
offer
my
strong
support
for
his
nomination.
L
We
started
our
relationship
off
in
deep
conflict
and
on
opposing
sides
of
a
fight,
and
in
fact
many
of
you
also
know
that
he
was
the
face
on
an
old
anti-union
video
that
target
had
which
I
have
properly
scolded
him
for
and
that
he
has
been
kind
of
put
to
rest
and
and
shifted
the
way
that
target
target
you
know
engages
in
employees,
but
you
know
we
as
jim
and
I
continue
to
meet
over
the
years.
L
I
developed
a
different
kind
of
relationship
with
him
and
respect
for
him
and
together
we
were
actually
able
to
make
possible
new
worker
protections
that
had
been
considered
impossible
to
accomplish
what
I
learned
about
him
through
all
of
this
process.
Is
that
he's
incredibly
resourceful,
thoughtful,
intentional
and
proactive
and
willing
to
take
important
risks
that
ultimately
are
beneficial
to
everybody
involved?
He's
incredibly
skilled
our
relationship
building
and
understanding
lots
of
different
perspectives?
L
We
had
many
many
meetings
and
conversations,
and
every
time
I
was
struck
by
how
innovative
his
thinking
is
in
coming
up
with
new
potential
solutions
as
city
attorney.
I
believe
that
he'll
be
proactive
and
not
just
wait
for
things
to
be
brought
up
to
him
and
then
say.
Well,
let's
be
conservative,
we
don't
want
to
risk.
L
It
well,
of
course,
there's
a
role
for
that,
there's
an
important
role
for
that
for
city
attorney,
but
I
really
believe
that
jim
will
be
proactive
in
finding
opportunities
to
use
his
office
to
improve
the
lives
of
minneapolis
and
that
he's
going
to
be
thoughtful
in
thinking
through
implementation
strategies
on
the
front
end
of
policy
rather
than
be
reactive
and
risk-averse.
M
L
Test
so
to
sum
up
given
who
I
am
and
the
role
that
I
play
in
the
world
and
in
the
movement
for
workers
rights,
I
have
been
and
will
always
be
skeptical
about
endorsing
corporate
executives
for
a
public
role.
But
that
said,
I
really
strongly
believe
the
gym
has
a
relationship,
the
skill
and
the
disposition
to
be
a
strong
city
attorney
that
works
for
the
people,
and
I
strongly
support
his
seminars.
N
Thank
you
miss
chair
and
thank
you
council
members
for
having
me
in
support
of
jim
router,
for
this
position.
I
have
known
jim
since
at
least
2006
in
various
capacities.
I
first
as
a
colleague
on
the
minnesota
bar
in
the
minnesota
hispanic
bar
association
know
his
work
there
pretty
much
the
foundation
of
that
organization
from
its
inception
to
my
work
at
the
hispanic
national
bar
and
also
when
I
joined
target
in
2006
in
government
affairs
and
the
work
I
did
there
hand-in-hand
to
what
the
previous
speaker
spoke
of
of
his
integrity.
N
N
N
I've
witnessed
his
work
with
organizations,
local
state,
federal
national
level,
and
I
understand
that
he
also
understands
that
all
the
businesses
that
also
call
minneapolis
home
he's
the
resident
of
minneapolis,
and
he
has
raised
his
two
kids
with
his
wife,
terry
here
and
I
believe
he
understands
not
just
policy
law
and
the
role
of
government,
but
he
certainly
has
a
passion
for
government,
and
I
witnessed
that
my
time
in
corporate
america,
because
I
knew
he
was
very
much
engaged
in
every
single
decision
that
a
company
like
that
would
have
on
everyday
people.
N
I
trust
jim,
I
think
minneapolis
is
lucky
to
have
someone
with
his
caliber
and
his
experience.
That
would
take
this
job,
which
is
very
complex
in
itself.
In
a
time
where
we
need
more
partnerships
and
we
need
people
to
help
us
guide
where
we
are
going
as
as
a
city
as
a
state
and
as
a
country,
so
I
wholeheartedly
serve
as
his
character
witness
and
continue
to
rely
on
his
mentorship
in
my
career
now
in
the
minnesota
senate.
So
thank
you
for
having
me
and
I
strongly
support
a
yes
vote
for
jim
router.
K
H
H
First
of
all,
thanks
so
much
for
the
opportunity
to
address
you
and
to
express
my
very
enthusiastic
support
from
mayor
fry's
choice
of
jim
router
as
an
ex-minneapolis
city
attorney,
I've
been
with
the
aclu
for
only
about
three
years,
but
I've
known
jim
for
at
least
20
years,
perhaps
longer
I'd,
say
at
some
point,
it's
hard
to
say
exactly,
but
I
practiced
law
in
minneapolis
for
40
years
and
also
served
in
a
number
of
community
positions,
including
president
of
the
hennepin
county
bar
association,
the
board
of
governors
and
minnesota
state
bar
association
and.
K
K
K
H
Jim
is
not
only
careful,
smart
and
analytical.
He
is
also
creative,
common
sense
and
practical.
He
is
not
a
a
pie
in
the
sky.
Legal
theorizer
at
all.
H
G
K
H
Advice
that
is
specific,
easily
understood
and
practical
he's
been
giving
that
kind
of
advice
for
a
long
time
and
the
city
will
be
a
great
beneficiary
of
his
ability
to
do
that.
Finally,
I
want
to
say
jim
takes
a
broad
view
and
he
understands
societal
problems
of
racism,
oppression,
structural
inequality
and
poverty.
H
I
always
knew
that,
but
jim
has
reconfirmed
that,
since
he's
been
an
outstanding
and
hard-working
member
of
the
board
of
directors
of
the
aclu
of
minnesota,
where
he's
been
a
valuable
colleague,
he's
added
enormous
value
to
help
us
stay
focused
on
our
strategic
plan
and
our
mission.
So
this
is
really
just
one
example
of
jim's
work
on
community
issues
which
he's
been
working
on
for
years,
and
I
am
confident
that
he
will
continue
to
do
that
as
minneapolis
city
attorney.
M
M
That
would
be
very
useful
for
risk
management
by
analyzing
the
types
of
complaints,
the
departments,
the
individual
employees,
such
as
repeat
offender
police
officers
and
the
amount
that
the
city
is
paying
out.
Communities
united
against
police
brutality
has
inquired
whether
such
a
database
exists
and
it
appears
to
us
it
does
not.
Data
practice
requests.
C
We
have
a
speaker,
dave,
vicki,
who
is
speaking
now.
If
anyone
else
has
been
missed,
we
will
come
back
to
you
and
mr
bicking.
We
heard
everything
you
said
the
last
little
bit
was
interrupted,
just
the
last
sentence,
or
so
maybe.
M
Okay,
so
I'll
I'll
start
there,
I'm
yeah,
I'm
sorry
if
there
was
a
problem
on
my
end,
but
I
don't
think
so,
but
anyway,
communities,
united
against
police
brutality
is
inquiry
as
inquired
whether
such
a
database
exists
and
it
appears
to
us
it
does
not.
Data
practice.
Requests
have
led
to
no
indication
that
there
is
such
a
database,
though,
have
we
we
have
requested
exactly
that.
The
data
practice
act
only
gives
us
the
right
to
request
data.
M
It
does
not
require
the
city
to
answer
questions
and
we've
asked
those
questions
and
not
gotten
answers.
You
on
the
city
council,
however,
can
ask
questions,
and
I
think
this
is
a
very
important
question
for
the
city
to
manage
its
risk
and
know
what
is
actually
happening.
M
C
C
C
We
aren't
hearing
anyone
speaking
so
I'll,
just
pause
and
just
repeat
this:
it
is
star
six
to
unmute
the
line
and
we
do
have
one
more
person
in
queue
to
speak.
So
we
can
also
always
come
back
if
there
are
technical
difficulties
as.
O
Proposed
I
want
to
thank
president
bender,
the
council
and
mayor
fry
for
this
opportunity
to
speak
out
on
behalf
of
the
nomination,
the
appointment
of
jim
router
for
the
next
city
attorney
of
minneapolis,
I'm
currently
a
partner
at
the
closing
o'connor
office
here
in
minneapolis,
I'm
also
the
former
national
president
of
the
hispanic
national
bar
association,
I've
known
jim
for
almost
15
years
now,
and
during
that
time
I've
had
occasion
to
to
work
with
him
in
a
variety
of
capacities.
O
Not
only
am
I
his
former
outside
lawyer,
my
former
clients,
but
I've
also
had
a
chance
to
sit
with
him
on
a
number
of
boards
national
boards.
I've
also
had
a
chance
to
partner
with
him
in
different
capacities,
advocating
on
behalf
of
lawyers
and
other
people
who
needed
access
to
the
profession,
and
I've
always
been
impressed
with
jim's
ability
to
see
the
big
picture.
A
O
M
O
O
Brings
to
the
table,
I
think
about
three
specific
things.
Obviously,
other
speakers
have
talked
about
his
his
legal
acumen
and
his
work
at
target,
but
three
things
jump
out
at
me
that
make
him
uniquely
situated
to
take
on
this.
This
very
complicated
role
and
one
that's
judgment.
You
know
when
you
think
about
hiring
a
lawyer.
The
most
important
thing
that
any
lawyer
brings
to
the
table
is
judgmental
sound
judgment.
O
It's
critical
when
advising
clients
and
that's
the
more
reason,
number
one
reason
that
clients
come
to
you
for
your
judgment
and
jim
has
that
in
spades.
Secondly,
a
level
head:
you
know,
lawyers
need
to
keep
their
head
and
keep
their
cool
when
others
around
them
may
be
losing
theirs
and
and
jim.
In
my
experience
in
the
many
settings
and
times
I've
seen
him
notwithstanding
how
complicated
the
issues
were
or
how
sensitive
the
matters
were,
jim
always
kept
the
level
ahead
and
always
always
impressed
me
about
him.
P
O
He
he
has
an
ability
that
I
think
in
a
lot
of
ways
is
unique
and
that
is
to
be
creative
and
to
think
outside
the
box.
You
know
most
problems,
and
I
know
this
having
a
national
leader.
Most
problems
have
solutions,
but
those
solutions
often
require
an
ability
to
think
both
long
term
and
short
term.
You
know
I
had
a
boss,
one
time
who
told
me
you
know
you
don't
want
to
solve
the
same
problem
more
than
once
and
having
worked
with
jim.
O
I
know
that
he
is
a
clear
thinker,
he's
creative
he's
innovative
and
he
wants
to
make
sure
the
solution
that
is
reached
is
the
best
solution
that
can
be
could
be
reached,
and
I
think
that
makes
him
unique.
The
other
thing
I
want
to
say
is
that
jim
is
particularly
adept.
I
think
at
cutting
through
obstacles
on
the
way
towards
problem
solving
and
solutions
confessions,
building
I've
watched
him
when
I've
worked
with
him,
as
his
outside
lawyer
really
bring
clear
thinking
to
sometimes
complicated
issues
and
be
very
decisive.
O
I
think
the
city
is
fortunate
to
have
somebody
of
his
caliber
in
this
role,
kudos
to
the
mayor
for
appointing
him
and
looking
forward
to
us
moving
forward
as
a
community
as
a
city
with
the
leadership
of
jim
router
and
others
around
this
table
in
the
near
future.
Thank
you
for
this
opportunity
and
I
endorse
him
wholeheartedly
for
the
position.

going
to
say
maybe
as
much
as
25
years
he
and
his
wife
tyrion
and
his
family,
and
I
just
have
just
it's
hard,
not
to
repeat
many
of
the
fine
things
that
have
been
said
by
the
speakers
that
preceded
me,
I'll
just
mention
just
a
couple
points.
First
of
all,
the
idea
of
jim
rodder,
being
a
city
attorney,
is
not
a
new
one.
B
I
can
recall
conversations
with
him
about
possibly
being
city
attorney,
maybe
eight
to
ten
years
ago,
and
it
was
something
that
he'd
always
thought
of
as
a
second
calling,
and
I
think
it
was
because,
first
and
foremost,
he
recognized
the
importance
of
the
partnership
between
the
city
and
leading
business
partners
such
as
target
corporation,
where
he
worked.
B
Secondly,
I
think
he
very
much
is
much
appreciates
the
intersection
between
the
law
and
progressive
public
policy
making,
particularly
in
the
business
sector.
So
he
knows
that
the
city
attorney's
position
is
very
critical
in
that
way,
and
I
am
very
happy
to
see
that
he's
on
the
brink
of
realizing
that
long-held
ambition.
B
Secondly,
everyone
else
has
mentioned
the
unique
strength
he
brings
in
terms
of
this
great
combination
of
corporate
experience,
reputation
in
the
business
community
and
a
passion
for
progressive
public
service
and
then,
finally,
you
will
not
find
anyone
with
a
stronger
commitment
for
diversity,
eliminating
inequities
and
systemic
injustice,
both
in
the
business
community
and
in
in
terms
of
public
policy.
It's
not
a
platitude
with
him
is
even
more
than
a
call
to
action.
B
He
has
actually
taken
aggressive
steps
in
his
position
to
ensure,
certainly
in
the
profession
in
which
I
said
that
that
corporate
the
the
businesses
invest
in
people
of
color
and
and
black
professionals
and
that's
been
a
major
major
priority
for
him
in
his
role
at
target.
So
I
am
very
enthusiastic
about
him
becoming
a
city
attorney.
He
will
make
he'll
be
a
very
exceptional
one,
and
I
urge
a
city
council
to
approve
the
mayor's
nomination.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak.
R
Thank
you
all
hello,
I'm
marcus
owens
and
I'm
calling
in
support
of
nomination
of
jim
roger
for
the
city's
attorney's
position.
For
over
15
years,
I've
been
a
friend
and
colleague
of
jim
he's,
a
person
with
great
integrity
and
compassion
he's
a
leader
that
listens
and
takes
input
from
multiple
stakeholders
and
has
experience
building
a
team
of
excellence
that
is
both
diverse
and
inclusive,
and
also
fights
for.
What's
right.
I
witnessed
this
firsthand
under
his
leadership
during
my
time
at
target
corporation
in
the
employee
and
labor
relations
department.
R
R
R
There
were
several
anonymous
complaints
about
the
working
conditions
of
the
story
and
how
poor
the
leadership
team
was
in
creating
a
welcoming
environment
for
everyone
and
instead
of
a
generic
response,
the
various
complaints
jim
led
his
team
to
strategize
a
plan
to
go
out
and
to
listen
to
this
team
and
the
members
of
it
in
the
store
and
get
first-hand
accounts
of
what
was
happening
from
that
listening.
The
plan
was
created
to
improve
the
store
by
bringing
in
other
departments
across
our
headquarters
and
in
the
community
there.
R
This
required
having
the
trust
and
strong
relationships
of
the
operational
financial
and
human
resource
leaders,
as
well
as
local
leaders
on
the
ground
to
then
he,
the
council
jim's
team,
provided
to
get
the
best
outcome
for
everyone.
At
the
end
of
that
of
what
took
four
to
six
months,
that
storm
was
remodeled,
the
leadership
team
was
improved
and
the
st
the
store
team
overall
felt
it
was
listened
to,
and
action
was
taken.
R
This
exemplifies
the
type
of
leader,
jim
router,
is
and
why
you
should
bring
him
on
as
the
city's
attorney
the
time
we
are
and
now
requires
leaders
to
be
engaged.
Adaptive,
level-headed
and
responsive
to
the
needs
of
the
multiple
stakeholders
of
this
great
city
and
jim,
is
that
type
of
here.
So
I
endorse
him
wholeheartedly
and
thank
you
for
your
time.
F
Hi,
this
is
justin
terrell.
I
am
testifying
in
support
of
jim
rotter
for
the
city
attorney's
position,
and
I
just
want
to
thank
all
the
council
members
for
your
consideration
in
this
matter.
I'm
testifying
today,
as
a
community
member
I'll
just
get
to
the
point
I
think
jim
rotter
has
the
values
that
you
need
in
this
position.
I
think
you
know
his
integrity
has
been
spoken
of.
F
F
I've
gone
toe-to-toe
with
this
brother
from
opposing
sides,
and
we've
wrestled
with
big
issues
and
issues
with
the
criminal
justice
system
and
how
corporations
need
to
be
better
partners
with
the
community.
We
literally
put
jim
rotter
on
the
hot
seat
in
north
minneapolis
at
the
capri
theater,
with
over
300
people
in
the
attendance,
the
majority
of
them
folks
of
color,
with
with
criminal
records,
to
to
really
demand
that
target
be
a
better
partner
with
the
community.
F
As
far
as
it's
removing
barriers
to
employment
for
false-facing
barriers
due
to
criminal
history,
and
he
didn't
sweat,
he
didn't
flinch
and
frankly,
he
worked
with
target
to
deliver
on
the
demands
that
the
community
laid
in
front
of
them
and
went
beyond
that
adopting
the
fair
hiring
practices
for
target
across
the
country
and
not
just
locally
here
in
minnesota.
F
I
could
I
you
know,
I
could
say
a
lot
of
things
that
have
been
said,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day
you
know
we
just
need.
We
just
need
a
champion
in
this
seat.
We
need
somebody
who
is
going
to
not
put
barriers
in
place
when
it
comes
to.
You
know:
police
accountability,
but
it's
going
to
be
a
partner
with
the
community
to
make
sure
that
whatever
department
is
serving
is
providing.
F
Services
to
the
community
is
doing
so
from
a
strong
legal
standing
in
the
best
interest
of
the
people
amongst
the
minneapolis.
F
So
I'll
conclude
my
comments
there
and
say
jim,
I
wish
you
and
your
family
the
best
and
thank
you
for
answering
the
call
to
to
to
be
in
this
role,
because
lord
knows
this
is
about
location
and
not
about
another
job.
So
thank
you
so
much.
S
You
this
is
sharon
self
belton,
former
mayor
of
the
city
of
minneapolis,
and
I
speak
today
in
support
of
jim
router.
As
the
city
attorney
for
the
city
of
minneapolis,
I've
known
jim
router
for
over
20
over
20
years,
he's
been
active
in
our
community
on
a
number
of
matters
related
to
improving
the
quality
of
life
in
our
city.
S
I
know
jim
router
and
his
wife,
terry,
and
I
also
know
their
children.
I've
had
the
privilege
of
chaperoning
their
daughter
on
a
number
of
youth
mission
trips
across
the
country.
What
I
can
say
about
both
kerry
and
jim
is
that
they
are
very
civically
engaged
now
as
a
labor
relations
and
an
employment
lawyer,
jim
has
been
a
very
strong
advocate
for
diversity
and
inclusion,
both
in
the
public
and
in
the
private
sector.
S
You
heard
others
talk
about
his
record
as
a
corporate
attorney
and
maybe
not
so
many
of
them
talking
about
here's
the
work
in
the
labor
relations
area,
in
both
in
all
the
jobs
that
jim
has
held,
he
has
demonstrated
a
commitment
and
a
passion
for
fairness
and
equity.
S
S
Many
of
you
know
that,
in
my
current
role
at
the
thompson
reuters,
we
have
made
a
strong
commitment
to
ensure
that,
through
our
bar
associations,
we
help
lawyers
of
color
leadership
roles
in
their
private
sector
jobs
or
in
the
public.
Jim
has
been
a
champion
at
the
bar
association
for
this
work.
S
S
C
C
I
Thank
you
thank
you
to
all
of
madam
president
and
all
the
members
of
the
policy
and
government
oversight
committee
for
considering
today
my
recent
nomination
for
the
position
of
minneapolis
city
attorney.
I
have
been
and
remain
humbled
and
honored
to
be
considered
for
such
an
important
leadership
position
within
the
city
of
minneapolis.
I
I
We've
raised
two
multi-racial
ethnic
kids
here
through
the
public
schools
and
lived
in
the
center
of
uptown
for
nearly
20
years,
simply
put
we're
all
in
on
minneapolis,
and
we
intend
to
stay
here
if
you're,
thick
and
thin
also
make
no
mistake.
I
can
and
will
focus
on
being
the
best
city
attorney
that
I
can
be
and
that
minneapolis
has
had-
and
I
don't
mean
any
disrespect
to
predecessors
by
making
that
statement.
I
I
It
serves
and
represents
much
the
same
way
that
I
worked
hard
to
have
target,
be
more
meaningfully
engaged
with
city
leaders
and
departments,
community
advocates
and
stakeholders,
worker
centers
and
organized
labor.
So
in
some
I
could
not
be
more
excited
at
this
time
to
take
on
the
challenge
of
becoming
the
next
city
attorney
in
minneapolis.
I
I
I
knew
I
wanted
to
be
a
lawyer
then,
and
I
know
even
more
so
now.
Law
is
something
that
has
always
commanded
my
utmost
utmost
respect
and
most
keen
interest
as
a
career
field.
Law,
in
my
eyes,
is
the
most
challenging
and
rewarding
nothing
in
the
world
seems
so
vibrant
and
exciting
as
the
law
in
action,
and
that's
precisely
how
I
feel
today
about
the
prospect
of
becoming
the
next
minneapolis
city
attorney,
there's
nothing
more
vibrant
and
exciting
than
the
opportunity
to
help
this
city
through
its
significant
challenges
today
and
in
the
future.
T
Thank
you,
president
bender,
and,
and
thank
you,
mr
router,
for
your
application
and
your
desire
to
serve
and
the
work
that
you've
put
into
meeting
with
stakeholders.
You
know,
including
the
council
as
a
part
of
this
process.
T
I
know
you
and
I
had
a
good
conversation
about
a
variety
of
issues
and
we've
worked
together
on
the
workplace
advisory
committee
and
I
guess
I
wanted
to
just
ask
you
to
talk
a
little
bit
because
you
know,
obviously
some
questions
were
raised
in
the
press
and
I
wanted
you
to
have
a
chance
to
discuss
a
little
bit.
Your
your
view
about
your
role.
You
know
with
the
city's
unions,
and
you
know,
sort
of
how
you
kind
of
think
about
relating
to
labor,
as
the
city
attorney.
I
Great
you
know
my
my
approach
would
be
very
similar
to
the
way
I've
approached
my
work
at
target.
Certainly
since
I
became
an
officer
and
a
leader
in
the
company
a
little
bit
more
than
10
years
ago,
and
it's
really
to
be
meaningfully
engaged
and
involved
in
a
true
partnership.
I
I
Engaged
with
them,
obviously,
you
know
the
work
of
labor
relations
and
the
work
of
a
positive
workplace,
so
to
speak.
Is
it's
really
been
most
of
my
career,
so
it'd
be
very
natural
for
me
to
want
to
continue
to
work
with
those
groups
in
order
to
make
sure
that
the
workplace,
certainly
that
I
lead
in
city
hall
and
city
hall
as
a
whole,
is
as
positive
as
it
can
be.
I
hope
that
answers
your
question.
T
Thank
you,
mr
router.
I
wonder
if
you
can
talk
a
little
about.
T
How
you
see
the
the
prosecutorial
responsibilities
of
the
city
attorney's
office
in
relationship
to
the
city's
race
equity
goals?
You
know,
I
think,
there's
a
there's
sometimes
a
little
bit
of
a
a
conflict
and
certainly
we're
in
a
conversation
about
transforming
public
safety.
That
is
that
has
been
focused
on
mpd,
but
we'll
certainly
look
at
the
prosecutor
function
within
the
city
attorney's
office
as
a
part
of
that.
So
I
wonder
if
you
can
speak
a
little
bit
to
how
you're
thinking
about
that
work.
I
I
I
have
learned
a
lot
over
the
last
few
years
joining
the
board
of
the
minnesota
justice
research
center.
I
learned
a
lot
from
individuals
like
justin
terrell,
who
spoke
today,
mark
haasey,
who
has
been
very
involved
in
criminal
justice
work
for
a
long
time.
John
gordon
another
speaker
today
from
the
aclu
perspective
tom
johnson,
who
recently
passed
away
this
year,
certainly
taught
me
a
lot
in
this
space
and
it's
it's
given
me
a
great
opportunity
to
be
thoughtful.
I
At
least
while
I
don't
have
the
practical
experience,
I
have
been
thinking
a
lot
about
how
to
apply
my
passion
for
reducing
racial
and
social
inequities
on
this
side
of
the
office's
work
for
the
city
attorney
and
I'm
really
eager
to
dive
into
that
and
be
able
to
come
up
with
some
very
specific
action
plans
in
in
regard
to
that.
I
I
see
that
as
a
short-sighted
type
of
a
goal.
I'm
not
saying
it's
not
relevant
to
to
the
work
of
a
particular
attorney
in
terms
of
their
skill,
but
I
I
tend
to
think
in
terms
of
broader
goals
and
how
are
we
solving
the
problems
that
plague
at
least
our
city
here
and
back
to
the
racial
and
social
inequities?
I
I'd
like
to
think
of
the
work
of
the
office
at
the
end
of
the
day
very
high
level
to
measure
what
effect
are
we
having?
As
people
come
through
the
system
that
we
control
at
the
city
of
minneapolis
so
that
they
don't
end
up
moving
on
to
the
next
most,
the
more
serious
environment
of
felonies
and
the
county
attorney's
office,
and
obviously
there's
programs
related
to
diversion
and
expungement
bail
reform.
I
You
know
just
exercising
some
really
smart
prosecutorial
discretion,
but
I
think
there's
a
lot
more,
also
that
I
haven't
even
learned
yet,
but
my
goal
would
be:
how
can
we
show
that
we're
having
a
positive
impact
on
having
less
particularly
young
people
of
color,
come
through
the
minneapolis
lower
crime
system
and
not
move
on
to
the
more
serious
crimes
that
you
would
see
in
the
hennepin
county
attorney's
office
realm?
I
Those
are
my
thoughts
on
that
council.
Member
fletcher
is.
Is
there
anything
else,
you'd
like
to
ask
me
to
follow
up
on
that.
E
Jenkins,
thank
you,
madam
president,
and
I
too
had
an
opportunity
to
speak
with
mr
router.
Thank
you
for
that,
and
I
do
want
to
just
thank
all
of
the
the
people
who
spoke
on
your
behalf.
It's
quite
an
impressive
group
of
supporters,
but
in
our
call
you
know
we
discussed
equity
and-
and-
and
I
know
that
you
talk
a
lot
about
diversity
and
inclusion
which,
which
I
think
is,
is
absolutely
vital
and
important.
We
certainly
need
to
increase
the
the
diversity.
E
But
but
I
think
equity
goes
beyond
just
diversity
and
inclusion,
and
so
you
know
we'd
like
to
hear
some
of
your
thoughts
around
equity
and
how
we
can
be
more
equitable
and
when
I
think
about
equity,
you
know
a
lot
of
people
in
in
our
culture
think
about
equality.
Well,
if
one
group
got
this,
then
we
should
get
this,
but
equity.
In
my
mind,
is
is
more
about.
You
know
who,
who
is
is
most
marginalized?
E
Who
is
having
the
the
biggest
challenges
and
how
do
we
address
those
challenges
to
bring
people
to
a
level
of
equality?
E
E
So
we'd
like
to
hear
you
speak
about
that
and
then
another
big
topic
that
you
and
I
covered
was
bail
reform
and
that's
certainly
been
a
a
big,
a
deep
concern
for
for
myself
for
matt
fry
and
many
of
my
colleagues
and
and
the
prior
city
attorney
before
she
went
off
to
her
judgeship,
and
so
hopefully
you
can
expound
a
little
bit
about
your
ideas
and
thoughts
around
bill
reform.
As
well,
thank
you.
I
Thank
you
vice
president
jenkins,
I
hope
you
can
hear
me
just
want
to
double
check.
I
Great
well,
you
know,
equity,
that's
a
great
discussion
to
have
in
some
ways.
The
way
I
think
about
equity
is
it's
it's
bigger
and
it's
about
outcomes.
Diversity.
Inclusion
is
important
and
in
a
lot
of
environments
it
tends
to
be
about.
You
know:
metrics
you're,
trying
to
to
look
at
certain
metrics
numbers,
around
representation,
promotional
opportunity
and
and
whatnot
and
and
you
try
to
measure
and
you
track,
and
that's
all
the
fine
that's
good
work.
I
But
when
I
think
of
equity
I
think
of
again
I
would
I
use
the
word
outcomes
and
I'd
also
use
the
word
intentionality
and
I
think
one
of
the
things
I've
been
focused
on
in
my
work
in
this
area
over
the
years
and
it's
been
a
passion
of
mine
is
the
metrics
are
important
and
they
certainly
can
validate
the
effectiveness
of
certain
programs.
I
I
tend
to
focus
myself
a
lot
more
on
intentionality,
meaning
being
very
intentional
about
identifying
who
is
behind
or
what
is
out
of
whack.
What
is
wrong
and
being
very
precise
and
direct
in
attacking
that
and
making
it
clear
to
all
the
stakeholders
involved.
I
What
we
intend
to
do
to
fix
this
and
that
there
is
an
outcome
that
we
should
all
be
able
to
identify
and
agree
that
until
that
outcome
is
met
all
the
diversity
and
inclusion
metrics
in
the
world,
that
kind
of
show.
You
know
a
little
steady
progress
here,
a
little
steady
progress
there,
that's
really
not
as
important,
and
it's
certainly
not
meaningful,
and
it's
certainly
not
going
to
ultimately
solve
a
problem.
I
G
I
We
could
I'd
love
to
have
a
lot
more
conversation
about
that
and
keep
going
down
that
road,
but
at
a
high
level.
That's
what
I
would
start
off
by
saying
you
know.
With
regard
to
bail
reform,
I
will
go
back.
To
being
honest,
I
don't
know
what
I
don't
know,
I'm
not
a
criminal
lawyer.
I
do.
I
am
familiar
with
some
of
the
work
that
susan
siegel
and
the
office
has
done
in
this
area
already.
I
I
certainly
would
want
to
continue,
but
more
importantly,
expand
upon
that
I've
learned
a
little
bit
more
in
this
area,
with
my
board
work
with
the
minnesota
justice
research
center,
I
think
of
the
one
again
high
level
and
almost
thinking
of
it
in
the
equity
sense.
When
I
think
of
bail
reform,
I
almost
equate
it
to
the
way
that
you
have
impact
from
evictions
in
the
housing
setting
fail.
I
You
know
without
meaningful
bail
reform
and
particularly
when
you
think
about
the
minneapolis
city,
attorney's
office
and
the
low-level
crimes
that
are
being
prosecuted
without
any
bail
reform.
You
end
up
having
a
system
where
you're
just
criminalizing
people
for
essentially
being
poor
in
many
cases,
and
that's
that's,
I
think
something
that
really
needs
to
be
addressed
and
needs
to
be
recognized.
I
It's
the
same
way
that
people
can
get
into
this
eviction
cycle
and
and
rack
up
all
kinds
of
fees
and
then
even
higher
rents,
because
now
there's
an
eviction
record
and
I
think
of
those
two
things
as
as
two
good
examples
of
how,
if
you
would
engage
in
some
really
meaningful
reform
and,
quite
frankly,
out
of
the
box
get
out
of
the
mold
of
how
we
tend
to
think
about.
Well,
somebody
should
just
pay
their
bail
and
somebody
should
just
pay
the
rent
and
everything
would
be
fine.
I
I
So
my
focus
would
be
to
dig
in
with
that
in
mind
and
figure
out.
Well,
what
more
can
we
do
in
that
in
in
the
work
we've
already
done
on
bail
reform,
so
that
we
can
continue
to
see
the
outcome?
Reach
and
not
necessarily
get
too
focused
on
the
incremental
metrics
that
show
somewhat
of
a
positive
trend,
maybe
but
really
aren't
moving
the
ball
forward
down
the
field.
F
C
I
just
want
to
thank
mr
router
for
taking
so
much
time
to
reach
out
to
all
the
council
offices,
and
I
know
we
had
a
great
conversation
which
you
just
briefly
highlighted.
One
of
the
issues-
that's
so
important
to
me,
of
course,
is
eviction,
protection
and
renter,
renter
eviction,
prevention
and
renter
protections,
and
we
had
a
great
conversation
about
that
and
a
number
of
other
issues,
and
I
appreciate
my
colleagues
hiding
highlighting
some
of
the
other
big
legal
issues
facing
the
city.
K
C
C
That
carries
and
that
item
will
be
forwarded
to
the
council
meeting
next
friday.
Thank
you.
All
the
next
public
hearing
is
for
an
ordinance
establishing
cultural
district
boundaries
and
policy.
This
ordinance
was
introduced
by
council
member
cono.
We
have
interim
cpe
director,
andrea
brennan
and
amy
from
the
city
attorney's
office
on
hand,
to
give
a
presentation
and
answer
any
questions.
We'll
start
with
director.
Brennan
welcome.
V
V
V
V
The
items
before
you
today
address
items
one
and
two
from
the
staff
direction
that
is
listed
on
this
slide,
so
the
first
is
to
develop
a
work
plan
to
formalize
the
official
geography
of
the
recommended
cultural
districts,
taking
into
consideration
existing
acp
50
and
that
stands
for
areas
of
concentrated
poverty,
50.
Those
are
designations
made
by
the
metropolitan
council
and
any
other
pre-established
city
designations
that
can
be
leveraged
to
support
this
work
and
number
two
develop
recommended
ordinance
language
to
establish
and
designate
cultural
districts.
V
The
other
three
items
from
the
staff
direction
will
be
discussed
will
continue
to
be
discussed
by
the
work
group
formed
to
recommend
this
ordinance
and
and
we'll
be
back
to
council
for
future
recommendations.
V
Cultural
districts
are
focused
on
achieving
several
goals,
most
importantly,
to
advance
racial
equity
and
prevent
displacement,
also
to
preserve
cultural
identity
and
to
help
support
economic
growth,
in
particular
of
areas
that,
in
many
cases,
were
once
thriving
and
have
experienced
economic
disinvestment
over
the
years.
V
The
cultural
districts
also
provide
an
opportunity
for
identifying
and
provi
and
identifying
creating
new
and
prioritizing
the
implementation
of
new
investment
tools,
policies
and
practices
again
in
in
areas
that
have
experienced
historic,
disinvestment.
V
V
Great,
this
slide
shows
the
four
criteria
that
are
outlined
in
the
in
the
proposed
ordinance.
So
then
this
applies
to
the
current
proposed
six
cultural
districts,
as
well
as
any
future
cultural
districts
that
would
be
created
so
number
one.
Each
cultural
district
must
be
contiguous
and
centered
within
the
metropolitan
council
to
find
areas
of
concentrated
poverty
and
the
the
50
at
the
end
of
acp
means
that
more
than
50
percent
of
the
residents
in
those
census
tracts
are
people
of
color
number
two.
V
Number
three:
each
cultural
cultural
district
must
have
as
the
core
of
the
district
a
goods
and
services
corridor
as
designated
in
the
minneapolis,
2040,
future
land
use
map
and
then
finally,
the
fourth
criterion.
Each
cultural
district
must
be
walkable
accessible
and
have
access
to
public
transportation.
V
Next
slide,
please,
the
proposed
cultural
districts
should
be
shown
on
this.
On
this
slide,
there
are
six
proposed
districts.
One
is
38th
street,
the
second
cedar
avenue
south
the
the
third
is
central
avenue:
fourth
east
lake
street
fifth
franklin
avenue,
east
and
then
sixth
west
broadway
next
slide.
Please.
V
This
shows
a
map
of
the
various
the
proposed
cultural
districts.
V
I
can
just
they're
a
little
bit
hard
to
read,
so
I
can
briefly
describe
them
the
first
one
in
the
upper
left-hand
corner,
38th
street,
it's
along
38th
street,
from
blaisdell
to
bloomington,
going
horizontally
or
to
the
right.
The
next
one
is
cedar
avenue.
This
one
is
the
cedar
riverside
cultural
district.
V
It
generally
is
bordered
by
interstate
94
and
washington
avenue
in
one
block,
east
and
west
of
those
two.
The
third
is
central
avenue
cultural
district.
This
this
spans
north-south
between
18
and
a
half
avenue
to
just
north
of
27th.
V
On
the
second
row,
east
lake
street,
this
cultural
district
spans
along
east
lake
street,
from
pillsbury
to
cedar
franklin
spans
from
chicago
to
21st,
and
then
west
broadway
is
from
penn
avenue
to
on
the
west,
to
interstate
94
on
the
east.
V
That
concludes
the
formal
presentation
that
we
have
today
again.
The
action
before
you
today
is
to
hold
a
public
hearing,
adopt
an
ordinance
that
establishes
these
six
cultural
districts
and
the
ordinance
also
again
establishes
a
process
and
criteria
for
the
establishment
of
future
future
cultural
districts.
C
C
And
if
you're
on
the
line
to
speak,
you
can
push
star,
six
there'll
be
a
short
pause
and
then
it
will
let
you
know
when
you're
unmuted.
Q
Hi
yeah,
so
my
name
is
chris
webley,
I'm
the
founder
of
new
rules.
We
are
a
real
estate
development,
collective
based
on
the
north
side
of
minneapolis.
We
are
quite
untraditional
in
comparison
to
most
developers
and
in
that
we
have
a
lot
of
programming
and
activation
for
creatives
and
small
businesses.
We
are
anchored
on
lowry
avenue
in
north
minneapolis,
with
ensuing
locations.
G
Q
Rules
too,
opening
next
year,
which
was
a
project
through
cpad
through
rfp
process.
I'm
really
excited
for
the
cultural
districts
conversation.
Q
It's
been
a
long
time
coming
along
a
lot
of
conversations
with
councilman,
ellison
and
cunningham
and
sean
pierce
from
the
mayor's
office.
So
thank
you
guys
for
looking
us
in
and
and
including
us
into
the
conversation.
Q
Q
You
know
the
lowry
corridor
is
home
to
a
lot
of
hmong
somali
asian
african,
american
caucasian
businesses
and
and
and
many
alike,
and
it
just
seems
like
a
very
low
hanging
fruit
and
a
missed
opportunity
to
not
have
the
lowry
court
or
it
nominated
greatly
appreciate
that
west
broadway
was
considered,
but
when
we
think
about
and
compare
in
comparison
to
some
of
the
other
locations
that
have
been
allocated
in
south,
I,
if.
Q
It
sounded
like
there
were
four
sites
in
south
in
comparison
to
one
site
in
north
and
geographically
it's
about
the
same
square
square
square
miles,
and
so
you
know,
I
think
that
again
it
it
meets
the
criteria
and
we
would
welcome
and
honor
being
nominated
as
a
the
district
on
the
lowry
corridor.
So
again,
thank
you
guys
for
your
leadership
on
this
issue
and
I'll
turn
it
back
over
to
you
guys.
C
Thank
you.
There
are
two
other
speakers
we
have
who
may
or
may
not
be
on
the
line
it
looks
like
they
may
not
be
on
the
line.
Would
any?
Is
there
anyone
else
who
would
like
to
speak
on
this
item?.
C
C
I'm
just
pausing
to
make
sure
that
there
are
no
technical
difficulties.
It
doesn't
look
like
we
have
anyone
else
signed
in
on
the
line
to
speak.
So
with
that,
I
will
close
our
public
hearing.
Thank
you
to
our
speaker
and
I'll
recognize
council
member
cunningham,
followed
by
council.
Vice
president
jenkins,.
X
Thank
you,
madam
president.
Let
me
pull
this
up
here
right,
quick,
so,
colleagues,
I
have
brought
forward
an
amendment
to
include
lowry
avenue
as
a
designated
cultural
district
I
had
forwarded
to
the
clerk.
Is
it
possible
for
us
to
be
able
to
display
the
amendment
yep
there?
It
is
thanks.
Okay,
so
this
stretch
of
lowry
avenue
north
fits
all
of
the
criteria
for
cultural
districts.
It
is
the
only
other
location
in
the
city
besides
west
broadway,
in
which
there
is
an
overlap
between
acp
50
green
zone
and
promise
zone
designations.
X
X
It
has
the
largest
concentration
of
southeast
asian
businesses
in
minneapolis.
It
is
also
rooted
in
diverse
neighborhoods,
with
black
indigenous
southeast
asian
east
african
latinx
and
white
residents,
all
living
alongside
one
another.
The
area
is
nearly
70
percent
people
of
color,
with
almost
40
percent
of
those
folks
being
black
lowry
avenue
north
is
designated
as
a
goods
and
services
corridor
in
the
2040
land
use
map.
X
It
is
walkable
accessible
and
has
a
bus
line
that
runs
along
it
and
intersects,
with
the
c
line
on
pen
avenue
and
the
proposed
d
line
on
fremont
my
constituents
and
I
have
been
advocating
for
the
inclusion
of
lowry
avenue
north
for
the
two
years.
This
work
has
been
underway,
given
it
meets
these
criteria
and
there
is
a
desperate
need
for
economic
development
in
this
area
of
north
minneapolis
through
rebuilding
this
once
thriving
commercial
corridor.
X
X
North
minneapolis,
including
of
the
upper
north
side,
has
experienced
generations
of
disinvestment
here
in
ward
4.
We
lack
infrastructure
for
commercial,
real
estate
and
multi-family
housing
options,
so
we
struggled
to
qualify
for
many
city
programs
and
other
public
investments
as
a
result,
after
generations
of
disinvestment.
X
Further
upper
harbor
is
disconnected
from
our
community
by
a
highway
and
railroad
tracks,
whereas
lowry
avenue
north
is
a
walkable
corridor
within
and
spanning
several
neighborhoods
that
have
experienced
this
investment
community
engagement
is
also
cited
as
a
reason
for
not
including
lowry
avenue
north.
I
want
to
clearly
state
for
the
record
that
there
was
no
engagement
with
ward
4
residents
or
business
owners
and
for
clarification.
X
Ward
4
is
on
the
north
side
of
lowry.
Avenue
and
new
rules
is
on
the
south
side,
so
just
for
clarification,
that's
actually
award
five.
X
I
also
want
to
clarify
for
the
record
that
there
was
a
statement
that
the
fall
neighborhood
association
was
engaged,
but
I
did
fact
check
that
and
found
that
a
fall
staff,
member
briefly
stopped
by
after
finding
out
about
an
event
last
minute
from
an
email
forwarded
from
someone
who
got
the
original
email
on
the
fifth
ward.
She
did
sign
in,
however,
and
that
seems
to
be
the
proof
that
award
for
ward
4
residents
were
engaged
through.
X
My
own
engagement,
ward,
4
residents
have
overwhelmingly
stated
they
want
lowry
avenue
north
to
be
included
in
the
cultural
district's
designations.
This
is
sound
logic
based
on
data
and
community
voice.
So
I
ask
for
my
colleagues
to
please
support
this
amendment
and
I'm
sure
that
over
the
period
of
time
now,
we've
probably
received
well
over
50
emails
from
ward
4
residents
who
have
asked
for
this
as
well.
So
I
hope
that
my
colleagues
will
please
support
this
amendment.
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
I
would
like
to
move
this
amendment
for
approval.
C
Thank
you,
councilmember
I'll.
Second,
your
motion
for
purposes
of
discussion,
so
we
are
now
on
the
item,
which
is
amending
the
ordinance
as
presented
by
staff.
C
It's
a
little
harder
to
manage
in
the
chat
queue
versus
speaker
management,
so
because,
where
else
in
it
is
in
queue,
would
you
like
to
speak
to
this
amendment
or,
if
you'd
rather
wait
for
the
underlying
item?
That's
fine,
too.
W
No,
I'm
happy
to
speak
to
this
amendment
just
to
tell
my
colleagues
that
I'll
be
supporting
councilmember
cunningham's
amendment.
I
think
it
makes
sense.
I
really
want
to
you
know
thank
councilman
cunningham
for
leaning
into
the
work
and
doing
his
due
diligence
to
make
the
case.
I
think
there
had
been
some
conversation
about
you
know.
Well,
you
know,
ward
4
is
getting
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
investment.
W
You
know
shouldn't
that,
be
you
know,
sort
of
shouldn't
that
meet
the
criteria
of
what
we're
putting
in
the
ward,
four
and
while
you
know
I'll,
have
the
benefit
of
having
half
of
this
district.
In
my
ward,
ultimately,
north
siders
view
the
the
community
as
one
thing
not
as
sort
of
the
arbitrary
boundary
between
ward,
four
and
five
so
just
wanted
to
say.
W
I
think
that
the
case
here
is
is
is
well
made
and
and
and
I
and
and
so
I
just-
and
I
think
there
had
been
some
fear
that
well
you
know
if
we
start
expanding
this
thing,
you
know
when,
at
what
point
does
it
become
arbitrary?
You
know,
is
everybody
gonna
say
I
want
a
cultural
district.
W
I
want
a
cultural
district
and
I
think
that
the
authors
did
a
really
good
job
of
setting
the
criteria,
and
I
think
councilmember
cunningham
did
a
good
job
of
of
making
the
case
for
why
lowry
definitively
meets
that
criteria.
So
just
wanted
to
offer
that
I'll
be
supporting
the
amendment
and-
and
I
hope
that
my
colleagues
will
as
well.
E
Yeah,
thank
you,
madam
president.
You
know,
I
don't
know,
I
guess
I
am.
I
guess
I'm
just
challenged
by
by
sort
of
you
know
creating
our
policies.
On
the
on
the
floor,
I
mean
this.
This
work
has
been
happening
for
a
number
of
years.
There's
a
number
of.
E
Specific
criteria
that
has
gone
into
place
to
to
designate
cultural
districts-
and
I
certainly
appreciate
council
member
cunningham's
statements
to
lay
out
why
lowry
avenue
should
be
considered.
You
know
councilmember
ellison,
just
stated
that
the
north
side
is
one
big
community.
So
so
there
is
a
a
cultural
district
that
spans
the
entirety
of
broadway.
E
You
know
I
it's
it's.
It's
just
really
challenging
to
to
sort.
E
Of
yeah,
I
I
I
initially
withdrew
my
place
in
the
queue
because
you
know
trying
to
have
this
conversation
is,
is
really
difficult
and
there
there
is
no
question
that
that
we
have
very
challenged
areas
of
our
city
and
we
have
areas
in
our
city
that
are
doing
just
fine.
E
E
The
the
the
fear
of
people
wanting
to
identify
their
areas
as
cultural
districts
is
not
a
not
a
perception
or
a
theoretical
conversation.
It
has
already
been
discussed
that
there
should
be
more
cultural
districts.
In
this
process.
We
laid
out
a
a
very
direct
process
for
communities
to
to
bring
forward
and
apply
to
become
a
cultural
district
and
so
to
to
do
this
by
amendment
on
the
floor
really
doesn't
speak
to
I,
I
think,
a
fair
and
transparent
process.
E
The
communities
that
have
been
involved
with
this
have
been
involved
with
this
for
the
past
three
years,
and
so
I'm
I'm
just
very
uncomfortable
with
this
amendment.
Thank
you,
madam
president.
Y
However,
I
do
take
some
comfort
in
how
councilmember
cunningham
has
explained
that
there's
been
some
more
recent.
However,
more
recent
parallel
work
and
parallel
work
that
took
it
seemed
some
pains
to
be
consistent
with
the
overall
structure
of
the
previous
framework.
Y
The
work
that
went
into
the
framework
that
we're
hopefully
going
to
be
approving
today
so
certainly
not
ideal,
but
I
do
take
into
account
councilmember
cunningham's,
parallel
work
and
how
he's
very
clearly
guided
that
work
within
the
framework
that
was
created
by
the
process
that
vp
jenkins
is
so
rightfully
holding
up
and
and
her
concerns
are
derived
from
the
fairness
of
that
that
pre-work
so
there's
a
duality
in
my
mind
to
the
process,
but
but
the
outcome
seems
to
have
been
taking
some
pains
to
include-
and
I
also
note
that
we're
only
doing
sort
of
the
first
step
in
terms
of
designation
there's
a
lot
of
sort
of
detail,
work
that
that
needs
to
go
ahead
of
what
this
means.
Y
How
does
it
get
implemented,
and
I
would
hope
that
if
the
amendment
passes
that
that
work
would
be
at
the
table
in
par
not
just
in
parallel,
but
in
tandem
figuring
those
details
out
and
making
sure
that
anything
that
we
do
moving
forward
is
not
only
on
the
consistent
on
the
framework
but
in
every
given
detail
and
on
the
process
front
as
well.
So
just
my
thoughts,
I
I
kind
of
see
both
sides
of
this,
but
I
also
can
see
supporting
it
basically
because
of
the
convincing
argument
on
the
consistency
level.
C
Thank
you,
councilmember.
I
put
myself
in
queue.
I
wanted
to
just
ask
director
brennan,
could
you
I
know,
there's
a
process,
consideration
and
argument,
but
just
on
the
criteria,
question
alone
does
staff
have
any
concerns
about
lowry
in
terms
of
its
meeting
the
criteria
of
the
cultural
districts,
as
laid
out
in
the
proposal
before
us.
V
Madam
chair
members
of
the
committee,
thank
you
as
described
by
councilmember
cunningham.
The
proposed
amendment
does
meet
the
the
criteria
that
is
articulated
in
in
the
ordinance
it
it
does
meet
the
the
criteria
being
in
the
ecp
50.
V
It
does
meet
the
criteria
of
of
having
rich
cultural
and
or
linguistic
identity
and
or
being
rooted
in
communities
significantly
populated
by
black
people
of
color,
indigenous
people
and
or
immigrants.
I
believe
it's
68
percent
of
that
area
is
our
residents
of
people
of
color.
V
The
third
is
that
each
cultural
district
is
a
goods
and
services
corridor
as
designated
in
minneapolis
2040,
which
it
does
meet.
That
and
the
fourth
is,
the
cultural
district
must
be
walkable
accessible
and
have
access
to
public
transportation.
That
criteria
is
the
criteria,
as
I
read
them.
Just
now
are
not
further
defined
so
there
the
council
could
have
a
discussion
about
the
degree
to
which
different
areas
meet
these
criteria,
but
I
I
do
think
your
staff
does
believe
that
that
these
four
criteria
are
met
by
the
proposed.
C
I
don't
see
any
you
know,
I
think
at
least
for
me
from
that
response
from
staff
and
all
the
careful
work
that
councilman
cunningham
put
in
to
create
this
boundary
proposal.
I'm
supportive
of
the
amendment,
I'm
not
sure
I
can
speak
to
the
process,
questions
and
concerns
that
have
been
raised,
but
on
the
substance
I
think
it's
reasonable
and
makes
sense
anyone
else
seeing
none
clerk
will
call
the
role
on
the
amendment.
K
D
K
X
J
C
Thank
you
that
carries,
and
that
returns
us
to
the
underlying
proposal.
Is
there
a
motion
on
the
item,
including
which
would
include
that
amendment
so
mold.
E
Thank
you
yeah.
E
I
just
want
to
just
acknowledge
and
and
and
thank
all
the
multitude
of
staff
who
have
worked
on
this
this
ordinance
over
time
it
it
did
sort
of
it
originated
prior
to
the
the
creation
of
the
2040
plan
and
and
and
was
then
codified
within
that
context,
and
it
has
helped
us
to
really
target
our
gaap
funding
up
to
this
point,
although
it
hasn't
been,
it
wasn't
formally
designated,
but
but
it
really
helps
us
to
understand
where
the
communities
that
are
in
most
need
of
city
assistance
to
to
to
be
on
parity
with
the
broader
population
in
our
city
and
so
just
grateful
for
all
the
staff
efforts
for
my
colleagues,
council,
members,
ellison
and
reich
and
cono
for
in
their
work
in
developing
this
and
all
the
community
members
who
have
been
engaged
in
this
process
and
lent
their
their
professionalism,
their
their
really
deep
understanding
of
the
communities
that
they
represent
and
and
brought
those
voices
to
the
table.
E
And
so
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
and
thank
all
of
those
efforts.
And
clearly
people
supported
this,
the
amendment.
So
I'm
hopeful
that
that
people
will
support
the
overarching
ordinance.
Thank
you,
madam
president,.
Y
D

K

C
C
The
next
public
hearing
is
for
an
ordinance
related
to
police
conduct
oversight,
amending
provisions
related
to
the
chief's
disciplinary
decisions,
as
requested
pursuant
to
the
terms
of
the
stipulation
and
order
entered
into
by
the
city,
the
police
department
and
the
minnesota
department
of
human
rights.
This
ordinance
was
introduced
by
council
member
palmisano,
well
imani,
jafar
from
the
civil
rights
department
and
joel
fussy
from
the
city's
office
for
this
item,
beginning
with
civil
rights,
I
believe,
welcome
ms
jafar.
A
Actually,
councilman
council
president
bender:
this
is
joel
fussy
from
the
city
attorney's
office.
I
think
I
believe
I'll
just
be
handling
the
presentation.
A
Thank
you,
madam
chair
and
committee
members.
I
am
joel
fussy
from
the
city
attorney's
office
and
I
just
wanted
to
provide
a
very
brief
overview
and
explanation
of
these
proposed
amendments,
which
are
to
section
172.70
of
the
police
conduct
oversight.
Ordinance
chapter.
A
As
you
know,
on
june
8th,
the
hennepin
county
district
court
approved
a
stipulation
in
order
in
the
minnesota
department
of
human
rights,
discrimination
complaint
against
the
city
of
minneapolis
and
our
police
department
and
among
a
multitude
of
actions.
The
tro
requires
that
the
city
council
amend
the
police,
conduct
oversight
ordinance
in
four
specific
ways
and
within
90
days
of
the
effective
date
of
that
pro.
A
The
four
mandated
changes
quickly
include
first,
requiring
the
chief's
disciplinary
determination
upon
receipt
of
the
hearing
panel's
recommendation
to
be
made
within
30
days
instead
of
45
days,
and
I
would
note
that
the
proposed
amendments
also
contain
an
exception
that
has
been
provided
to
reviewed
and
approved
by
the
state
allowing
for
tolling
of
this
period
in
the
relatively
rare
circumstance
where
the
officer
is
on
a
protected
leaves
such
as
fmla
and
is
entitled
to
a
due
product
due
process
or
loudermill
type.
Hearing.
A
Second,
the
tro
requires
the
chief
to
issue
a
written
memorandum
explaining
the
factual
and
legal
basis
for
the
decision
or
his
his
or
her
decision
within
that
30-day
period
on
all
merit.
Recommendations
third
requires
the
determination
and
memorandum
that
I
just
spoke
of
to
be
posted
on
a
city
website
and
made
available
for
physical
review
to
the
extent
permitted
by
a
data
practices,
law
and
fourth
provide.
A
It
requires
providing
a
remedy
to
a
complainant
when
the
timeline
is
not
met,
and
this
has
been
accomplished
by
providing
a
monetary
penalty
payable
to
the
complainant
in
the
amount
of
two
hundred
dollars
which
would
double
for
each
30-day
delinquency.
The
draft
amendments
before
you
are
narrowly
focused
on
fulfilling
these
four
specific
requirements.
Staff
is
very
much
aware
that
the
council
may
consider
more
far-reaching
changes
to
the
ordinance
and
the
oversight
process
in
the
months
to
come
and,
for
instance,
that
the
police
conduct
oversight.
A
Commission
has
recently
created
a
subcommittee
to
examine
the
ordinance
from
a
broader
context,
however,
because
of
this
90-day
deadline
imposed
by
the
tro.
These.
These
amendments
are
strictly
limited
at
this
time
to
the
four
specific
changes
required
and
ordered
by
the
court,
and
with
that
I'd
stand
for
any
questions
that
the
committee
might
have.
Z
I
don't
necessarily
have
a
question,
but
I
just
wanted
to
emphasize
that
last
comment
made
by
mr
fussy.
In
fact,
we
have
opened
the
oversight
ordinance
in
a
parallel
tract
just
to
do
that,
and
I
did
go
to
the
police
conduct
oversight,
commission
and
invited
them
to
participate
in
that
longer
process
where
I
think
we'll
be
able
to
make
bigger
changes
and
a
bigger
difference
and
I'll
note
that
I'm
listening
carefully
to
public
comments
that
are
coming
up
in
the
next
few
minutes.
Z
C
Thank
you
any
other
comments
or
questions
before
we
open
the
hearing.
I
don't
see
any
so
we'll
go
ahead
and
open
the
public
hearing.
We
have
two
folks
who
sign
in
ahead
of
time.
First
is
chuck
turchik
before
you
speak,
you
can
push
star
six
to
unmute
and
there'll
be
a
short
pause
before
you
hear
a
voice
telling
you
it's
ready.
P
P
For
example,
I
filed
the
complaint
where
all
of
the
possible
evidence
it
was
an
audio
of
a
short
radio
interview
was
in-hand
a
day
or
two
after
I
filed
my
complaint,
I
said
I
was
open
to
mediation.
The
mediation
took
place
14
months
later
for
people
filing
complaints.
Those
are
the
delays
that
count
not
whether
the
chief
has
a
45
day
or
a
30-day
time
limit.
P
Third,
it's
strange
because
if
the
chief
was
delinquent
in
making
timely
disciplinary
decisions
going
beyond
the
45-day
period
prescribed
in
the
ordinance
currently,
he
was
in
fact
violating
a
city
ordinance.
He
had
taken
an
oath
to
uphold.
Clearly
the
chief
is
a
minneapolis
police
department
officer
against
whom
the
complaint
can
be
filed.
The
opcr
staff,
if
they
knew
the
chief,
was
violating
the
city
ordinance,
could
have
and
should
have
filed
their
own
complaint.
A
remedy
existed
all
along.
P
Fourth,
it's
strange
because
it
doesn't
guarantee
that
the
facts
of
the
case
will
become
public.
It
only
guarantees
that
the
facts
supporting
the
disciplinary
decision
will
be
made
public.
Those
could
be
mitigating
or
aggregate
aggravating
facts,
but
not
the
facts
of
the
complaint,
not
what
happened
if,
instead,
the
chief
were
required
to
write
up
a
case
summary
similar
to
the
case
summaries
that
the
opcr
provides
the
police
conduct
oversight.
P
Just
like
the
ordinance
was
developed,
discussed
and
written
in
secret.
You
should
have
had
community
people,
not
just
council
members
and
city
staff
involved
in
those
negotiations
with
the
mdhr,
but
you
would
never
do
that
when
it
comes
to
transparency,
you
talk
the
talk,
but
sometimes,
and
especially
on
police
related
matters.
You
don't
walk
the
walk.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
time.
M
M
Okay,
it's
it's
cutting
out,
so
I
hope
that
this
will
come
through.
M
Okay,
yes,
I'm
dave
bicking
south
minneapolis
and
I
have
been
looking
at
the
statistics
on
what
on
the
office
of
police
conduct
review,
including
the
time
involved,
to
offer
cases
to
go
from
the
complaint
to
the
final
imposition
of
discipline
and
as
chuck
says,
the
problem
is
not
the
30
30
days
or
the
45
days,
though
I
mean
it's
good
to
clean
that
up,
but
looking
at
the
statistics
that
we
have
that
we've
gotten
from
years
and
years
of
filing
data
practice
requests
every
three
months.
M
I
can
see
that
for
people
who
have
civilians
who
have
come
into
the
opcr
and
whose
complaint
has
led
to
discipline.
Unfortunately,
there
are
only
13
of
those
in
over
seven
years,
but
nevertheless
of
those
13.
M
The
range
in
time
it
took
from
the
filing
of
a
complaint
to
the
final
discipline
to
happen
ranged
from
13
months
at
the
minimum.
So
over
a
year
to
59
months
or
practically
five
years,
the
average
was
34
months.
Our
data
is
still
a
little
bit
vague
on
when
the
complaint
was
finalized.
So
it's
probably
closer
to
three
years
so
that
that
discipline
is
not
happening
in
a
timely
fashion
as
it
stands,
and
a
15-day
difference
isn't
going
to
be
the
main,
a
problem
for
complaints
filed
internally
that
lead
to
discipline.
M
Those
are
complaints
from
supervisors,
other
police
officers,
that
sort
of
thing
there's
been
26
of
those
that
have
led
to
discipline
and
for
those
the
time
to
discipline
is
anywhere
from
one
month
to
49
months,
which
is
just
over
four
years.
The
average
in
that
case
is
17
months,
which
is
twice
as
quickly
as
complaints
from
members
of
the
public.
M
So
I
think
this
needs
looking
at
in
much
greater
depth
than
just
making
the
change
recommended
by
the
minnesota
department
of
human
rights.
They
probably
aren't
aware
of
these
kinds
of
delays,
and
I
fear
that
people
in
the
city
council
aren't
aware
either
or
aware
of
the
fact
that
in
the
first
half
of
this
year,
coming
from
the
office
of
police
conduct
review
the
city's
own
figures,
only
one
officer
was
disciplined
in
the
first
half
of
2020.
M
It
was
a
10
hour
suspension
and
the
complaint
from
the
member
of
the
public.
The
complaint
that
led
to
that
discipline
was
filed
in
july
of
2015.,
so
the
problem
goes
much
deeper.
We're
happy
to
share
those
statistics
with
you.
I
hope
people
will
take
an
interest
in
the
much
broader
problems
with
the
office
of
police
conduct
review.
Thank
you
very
much.
U
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
As
the
listed
author
of
this
amendment,
I
just
wanted
to
remind
my
colleagues
of
a
few
things.
First,
those
metrics
that
you
just
heard
in
the
public
hearing.
They
sound
off
and
they're
concerning,
but
they're
often
sometimes
they're
off
in
part,
because
of
how
an
officer
can
grieve
a
decision
and
that's
one
of
the
things
that
elongates
or
delays
any
sort
of
timeline,
as
the
public
might
see
it.
There
are
other
things
at
play
here.
U
One
is
that
we're
doing
the
best
we
can
with
the
resources
we
have
in
the
case
of
the
other
situation
specifically
mentioned
where
the
public
hearing
person
was
the
was
the
owner
of
it.
Sometimes
there
are
other
legal
issues
involved
in
that
case,
two
separate
other
legal
issues
involved
and
sometimes
then
the
complainant
also
delays
it
and
delays
some
sort
of
remediation
and
answer
about
complaints
and
complaints
that
people
feel
very
passionate
about.
U
So
I
want
to
make
clear
to
my
colleagues
that
the
changes
to
this
opcr
ordinance
at
this
time,
council
member
gordon,
also
has
it
open,
and
I
think
that
is
the
better
place
for
there's
a
lot
of
room
for
improvement
here.
This
does
not,
though,
really
fit
any
narrative
about
secrecy.
This
was
a
court
order.
It's
all
public
information,
and
I
think
we
are
all
in
this
time-
certainly
not
saying
that
this-
that
these
very
narrow
changes
cure
everything.
U
There
will
be
a
lot
of
additional
work,
but
this
is
a
court
order
that
we
are
dealing
with
that
the
council
approved.
So
these
are
the
specific
required
ordinance
changes
that
get
us
into
being
compliant.
U
We
are
in
contempt
of
court
if
we
don't-
and
it's
not
any
more
significant
than
that.
So
I
I
begrudge
the
idea
that
this
is
some
type
of
slow
role,
negotiation.
It's
not.
This
is
step
one
of
what
will
be
more
change,
but
it's
required
and
it's
what
we're
supposed
to
do.
So
there
is
a
public
record
of
the
court
case
out
there.
It's
very
easy
to
go
and
watch
those
hearings.
U
People
are
very
aware
of
data
practices,
state
laws
and
that
really
also
hamstrings
us
here
on
what
is
public
information
and
private
information?
It's
not
in
our
control.
The
last
thing
I
wanted
to
mention
is
that
director
jafar
in
civil
rights
reports,
how
many
things
are
still
in
the
queue
every
year.
U
I
ask
her
a
lot
of
questions
about
it,
so
I
think
there
has
always
been
pressure
on
our
police
department
to
clear
the
queue
better,
but
now,
in
this
moment
and
with
our
new
partners
here
with
the
department
of
human
rights,
we
are
making
absolutely
sure
that
that
happens.
So
I
just
want
to
mention
that
this
specific
ordinance
change
is
a
really.
I
want
to
acknowledge
it's
a
narrow
response,
but
it
is
specific
to
those
four
specific
items
and
that's
all
thank
you.
T
C
I'll
just
note
that
we
did
receive
an
email
version
of
some
of
the
testimony
as
well
to
all
the
council
members-
and
I
know
councilmember
gordon,
has
said
here
publicly
but
also,
I
know
in
conversation
with
council
members
that
further
work
is
coming
and
so
appreciate
both
the
information
that
we've
received
in
the
comments,
as
well
as
council
member
gordon's
leadership
to
continue
implementing
change,
or
at
least
proposing
change
anything
further.
Seeing
then
clerk
will
call
the
roll.
D
C
C
AA
Thank
you,
president
bender
and
members
of
the
committee.
My
name
is
tiffany
glasper.
I
am
a
senior
project
coordinator
in
the
residential
finance
division
at
cped,
I'm
before
you
today,
requesting
the
final
two
pieces
of
financing
for
the
sabathany,
affordable
housing,
senior
housing
project,
sabatheny
senior
housing
is
a
three-story
new
construction
project
proposed
to
be
located
in
south
minneapolis
ward,
8
at
the
southeast
corner
of
east
37th
street
and
third
avenue
south.
There
are
two
actions
before
the
committee
today.
AA
Sabathane's
senior
housing
will
feature
48,
total
housing
units
in
a
mix
of
zero
one
and
two
bedrooms.
Forty
four
units
will
have
rents
affordable
at
or
below.
Fifty
percent
ami
and
four
units
will
have
rents,
affordable
at
or
below,
30
percent.
Ami,
the
building
will
also
feature
2,
000
square
feet
of
community
services,
space,
a
fitness
center,
commercial
kitchen,
community
garden
and
a
plaza
and
drop-off
area
for
seniors.
The
project
will
also
include
the
sabathany
senior
living
center,
which
is
currently
located
in
the
sabathany
community
center.
AA
The
total
development
costs
for
the
project
are
estimated
at
just
over
12
million
dollars.
Developer
participation
in
the
project
includes
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
deferred
developer
fee
and
a
land
contribution
valued
at
fifty
thousand
dollars.
To
date,
more
than
eleven
million
in
sources
have
been
secured
for
the
project.
AA
The
first
action
item
is
the
tax
increment
financing.
The
developer
has
reque,
has
requested
pay
as
you
go
tax,
increment
financing,
assistance
from
the
city
to
help
pay
for
eligible
construction
costs.
The
sabathany
senior
housing
tif
plan
establishes
a
new
housing
tip
district
pending
city
council
approval.
The
city
of
minneapolis
will
issue
a
pay
as
you
go
tax
increment
note.
AA
The
senior
the
tax
increment
financing
plan
provides
a
detailed
breakdown
on
how
the
increment
would
be
distributed
and
used.
The
plan
was
transmitted
for
the
required
45-day
review
to
hennepin
county,
the
minneapolis
school
board,
city
planning,
commission,
the
whittier
alliance
area,
business
associations
and
other
interested
parties
back
on
june
19th,
and
the
developer
has
agreed
to
the
city's
recapture
provisions.
AA
The
second
action
is
the
affordable
housing
trust
fund.
Contingency
pool
the
project
was
awarded
an
affordable
housing
trust
fund
loan
of
1.25
million
back
in
2016,
and
we
are
now
recommending
an
additional
award
from
the
contingency
pool
in
an
amount
not
to
exceed
650
000,
representing
the
final
funding
source
needed
to
bring
this
project
to
fruition.
AA
The
contingency
pool
request
represents
an
additional
city,
investment
of
thirteen
thousand
five
hundred
and
forty
one
dollars
per
affordable
unit
for
a
total
city,
investment
of
thirty
nine
thousand
five
hundred
and
eighty
two
dollars
per
affordable
unit,
and
that
is
in
alignment
with
the
contingency
pool
requirements.
AA
Again,
staff
is
recommending
approval
of
a
six
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollar,
affordable
housing,
trust
fund,
contingency
pool
loan
and
seven
hundred
and
forty
five
thousand
four
hundred
dollars
in
tax
increment
financing
for
this
anthony,
affordable
senior
housing
project.
In
order
to
position
the
project
to
close
and
start
construction
in
october,
and
with
that,
I'm
happy
to
stand
for
any
questions
you
might
have.
C
E
C
E
Thank
you,
madam
president.
Wow
today
is
a
day
of
really
seeing
some
very
long-term
projects
on
their
way
to
fruition.
This
this
senior
housing
project
is
the
result
of
a
commitment
that
a
previous
city
council
made,
I
believe
in
2013
to
have
a
to
build
a
senior
housing
development
in
every
ward
in
the
city,
and
this
was
the
first
project
on
that
list.
E
As
as
ms
glasper
indicated,
there
are
several
financing
or
financiers
that
have
been
a
part
of
bringing
this
project
to
this
point
and
tip
designation
district
designation
will
will
help
to
move
this
project
forward.
You
know
it.
It
creates
48,
affordable
housing
units
for
seniors
in
this
historically
african-american
community.
As
we
know,
these
community
members
who
have
been.
E
For
for
this
type
of
project
for
for
many
many
years
because
they
don't
want
to
have
to
leave
their
communities
that
they
raise
their
children
in
that
they
worship
and
that
they
have
their
their
relationships
with
various
institutions
like
the
subanthony
community
center,
and
so
I'm
just
so
pleased
that
this
is
here
at
this
moment
and
ask
my
colleagues
to
continue
to
support
the
creation
of
a
tif
district
so
that
we
can
finally
bring
48
units
of
affordable
housing
to
the
38th
street
corridor.
E
C
D
D
K
X
E
E
C
So
with
apologies
to
my
colleagues,
I
have
a
scheduling
issue
for
this
meeting
and
I'm
presenting
to
a
number
of
local
elected
officials
in
the
region
at
four
o'clock.
It
can
be
a
little
late
to
that
meeting,
but
looks
like
with
the
length
of
time
that
the
first
item
took.
I
will
likely
have
to
turn
the
chair
over
to
council.
Vice
president
jenkins,
who
I
know,
will
do
a
great
job
of
chairing
the
meeting.
C
So
I'm
going
to
take
up
item
41,
which
is
a
ordinance
that
I'm
authoring
at
the
request
of
the
city
attorney's
office.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
I'm
here
in
case
there
are
any
questions
or
issues
with
this
item,
so
I
will
ask
the
city
attorney's
office
to
start
the
presentation
on
item
41
on
our
agenda.
C
This
is
the
resolution
of
proving
revisions
to
the
city's
defense
and
indemnification
policy
to
allow
for
clearer
standards
and
more
transparency
regarding
the
basis
for
determinations
on
request
for
defense
and
indemnification,
and
we
have
yvonne
ludmer
from
the
city
attorney's
office
to
give
us
a
short
presentation
on
that
item.
I
also
was
able
to
share
this
ahead
of
time
with
council
members
to
give
you
a
chance
to
ask
any
questions
from
staff
that
you
may
have
thanks.
AB
This
process
could
make
the
full
defense
identification
determination
take
years
to
resolve,
and
so,
if
that
decision
is
eventually
overturned,
it
could
require
payment
of
tens
of
thousands
of
dollars
to
a
private
attorney
who
made
you
know
various
strategic
and
tactical
decisions.
That
then,
would
no
longer
make
sense,
necessarily
given
the
provision
of
defense
indemnification.
AB
So
that's
the
purpose
of
the
you
know
of
the
proposed
revisions.
The
revised
policy
would
allow
flexibility
to
update
standards
on
defense
indemnification
if
the
statute
of
the
state
statute,
addressing
it
those
standards
changes.
AB
C
P
U
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
just
quickly
and
not
to
belabor
the
point.
I
really
appreciate
your
bringing
this
forward.
I
think
this
is,
as
you
had
mentioned,
this
is
a
staff
driven
kind
of
change
to
our
policy,
and
I
just
want
to
mention.
U
This
is
just
one
example
of
sometimes
the
mechanics
of
government
are
more
complex
than
than
people
realize
and
taking
a
look
at
these
small
kinds
of
things
will
help
us,
I
think,
in
the
future,
as
we
look
to
translate
bigger
ideas
down
into
policy,
so
this
might
seem
like
small
pedantic
stuff,
but
it
really
is
going
to
make
an
improvement
with
the
way
that
things
flow
and
help
government
to
work
more
at
a
speed
that
the
public
would
expect.
So
thank
you
for
bringing
this
forward.
J
V
E
C
That
carries
and
that
will
be
forwarded
to
the
council.
Next,
we'll
have
the
consent
agenda.
We
have
36
items
on
the
agenda

C
Item

authorizes
a
contract
with
hennepin
county
for
pedestrian
safety
and
traffic
signal
improvements
included
in
the
portland

project
item

is
passage

project
item
35
is
passage
of
a
resolution
approving
an
increase
in
the
appropriation
and
revenue
for
the
hennepin
avenue
street

project
by
2.3

extends
from
washington

item.
C
C
D
Rule
president
of
thunder,
can
I
just
clarify
that
item
five?
Is
the
action
will
be
to
delete
from
the
agenda.
C
Yes,
so
my
motion
to
clarify
is
to
approve
all
of
the
other
items
and
to
delete
item
five,
which
is
now
not
relevant
because
of
the
charter
commission's
motion
yesterday
to
for
action
yesterday
to
give
themselves
90
more
days
to
consider
the
amendment
that
we
had
forwarded.
So
we
don't
have
one
back
in
time.
K
C
Those
items
carry
and
will
be
poured
to
the
council
meeting
and
just
to
clarify
for
that
charter.
Commission
item
after
the
90
days
completes,
we
will
expect
a
report
from
the
charter
commission
and
that
will
come
on
a
future
agenda.
This
brings
us
to
item
42,
which
is
a
presentation
on
the
future
of
community
safety.
Work
group
there'll,
be
several
staff
participating
in
this
discussion,
along
with
councilmember
cunningham,
who,
on
behalf
of
the
council,
is
leading
that
work
group.
C
As
we
begin,
I
will
officially
turn
the
chair
over
to
council.
Vice
president
jenkins,
I
will
stay
for
this
presentation,
but
in
case
I
need
to
leave.
I
don't
want
there
to
be
any
disruption.
So
with
that
we'll
begin
the
presentation
and
I'll
turn
the
chair
over
to
council
vice
president
jenkins.
Thank
you.
E
And
I
am
not
sure
who
is
providing
the
presentation.
I'm
gonna
assume
that
it
is
someone
from
the
public.
X
Yes,
good
afternoon,
everybody,
as
stated,
I
will
be
kicking
off
this
afternoon's
presentation
from
the
future
of
community
safety
work
group.
I
know
that
it's
at
the
end
of
a
rather
long
meeting
where
we've
already
had
quite
a
bit
of
discussion,
so
I
hope
folks
can
kind
of
shake
it
off
drink
some
water,
because
we
got
a
lot
of
really
important
content
in
this
presentation
around
what
the
plan
is
and
processes
for
the
work,
that's
ahead
with
reimagining
public
safety
in
our
city.
X
So
for
the
record,
my
name
is
philippe
cunningham
and
I'm
the
war
fourth
ward
city,
council,
member
and
the
lead
council
member
for
this
overall
process
of
reimagining
public
safety
in
our
city.
I
will
be
joined
today,
joined
in
today's
presentation
by
brian
smith,
director
of
performance
and
innovation,
sasha,
cotton,
director
of
the
office
of
violence
prevention
and
dr
dr
ebony
adebayo,
with
the
division
of
race
and
equity,
whom
we
are
grateful
to
have
with
us
today,
as
joymar
stevens,
director
of
race
and
equity,
is
out
of
the
office.
X
Given
the
office
of
violence,
prevention
has
only
presented
to
the
public
health
environment,
civil
rights
and
engagement
committee.
Director
cotton
will
highlight
a
few
examples
of
tertiary
prevention
strategies
currently
underway
for
grounding
in
the
kind
of
work
we're
talking
about
here
from
there
we
will
dig
into
community
engagement
and
the
overall
plan
and
process
ahead
of
us
for
reimagining
public
safety
in
our
city.
X
X
In
june
we
began
laying
the
groundwork
for
transforming
public
safety
systematically
in
our
city
after
the
robust
community
engagement
process
involved
with
the
minneapolis
2040
plan
and
the
subsequent
public
safety
goals.
Seen
here
for
the
public
record,
I
will
read
it
aloud.
The
minneapolis
2040
public
safety
goal
is
to
prioritize
collaborative
multi-sector
community,
inclusive
approaches
to
ensuring
safety
for
all
all
our
community
members
of
our
community.
X
On
the
right
side
of
the
slide,
you
will
see
the
future
of
community
safety.
Work
aligns
with
three
out
of
the
six
action
steps,
including
follow
a
public
health
approach
to
ending
violence
by
reducing
the
factors
that
put
people
at
risk
for
being
involved
with
violence,
expand
the
use
of
non-enforcement
community
driven
public
safety
strategies
and
responses,
such
as
restorative
practices,
that
can
address
and
repair
the
harm
caused
by
a
crime
and
maintain
and
enhance
a
public
safety
infrastructure
that
includes
improves
response
times
to
police
and
fire
calls
implements.
X
X
Next
slide,
please
taking
the
mandate
from
the
city,
council
and
community,
the
work
group
approved
a
process
and
end
goal
through
the
process
of
transforming
safety.
The
goal
is
to
use
a
human
center
design
approach
that
centers
black
indigenous
and
people
of
color
communities
engage
residents
who
are
disproportionately
impacted
by
police
and
community
violence
and
victim
survivors
of
crime
of
excuse
me
of
community
domestic
and
sexual
violence,
to
co-design
new
systems
of
public
safety.
X
Before
moving
on
to
the
next
goal,
I
first
want
to
pause
to
clarify
how
the
frameworks
of
co-creation
and
co-production
apply
to
this
work.
These
frameworks
are
from
jocelyn
borgon's.
The
new
synthesis
of
public
administration,
which
is
rooted
in
quite
a
lot
of
evidence
from
around
the
world.
Co-Creation
happens
when
a
diversity
of
perspectives
are
brought
together
with
the
resources
and
assets
of
the
city,
service
providers
and
community
members
to
co-invent
solutions
adapted
to
the
local
community's
needs.
X
The
parameters
for
the
collective
efforts
take
into
account
the
legal,
fiscal
or
administrative
constraints
that
may
limit
possibilities,
design,
thinking,
ethnography
and
prototyping
are
often
used
in
this
process.
We
will
see
how
these
strategies
have
been
incorporated
into
our
local
process
and
plan
later
in
the
presentation.
X
Co-Production
is
also
important
because
it
directly
engages
community
members
in
the
actual
production
of
the
results
it
makes
active
use
of
people's
strengths
and
assets
and
requires
a
shared
responsibility
for
the
outcome.
That
means
we
all
work
together
to
make
our
city
safer.
Co-Production
is
also
rooted
in
the
direct
relationships
between
the
city
and
our
residents.
We
co-produce
the
services
systems
and
results
through
a
relationship
of
mutuality
and
shared
responsibility
through
that
intensive,
complex
work.
X
The
end
goal
is
to
bring
forward
solutions
and
strategies
to
build
a
multi-disciplinary,
comprehensive
system
of
public
safety
rooted
in
public
health,
community
and
justice
that
keeps
all
minneapolis
residents
and
communities
safe
from
here.
I
will
pass
it
now
to
brian
smith,
director
of
performance
and
innovation,
who
will
discuss
the
structure
and
deliverables
of
this
work.
Group
and
process
brian
can
take
it
from
here.
AC
And
unmute
myself
and
try
to
stare
at
the
right
camera
since
I
have
like
three
screens
in
front
of
me
good
afternoon,
chair
jenkins
and
members
of
the
committee,
my
name
is
brian
smith.
I'm
director
of
performance
and
innovation
in
the
city
coordinator's
office,
I'm
going
to
give
a
brief
overview
of
the
future
of
community
safety,
work,
group
structure
and
work
group
deliverables.
AC
AC
As
we
embark
on
this
most
important
work,
we
understand
that
having
clear
deliverables
are
a
must
having
clear
deliverables
will
provide
everyone
involved
from
the
core
team
to
each
subcommittee
and
all
community
members
with
focus
and
a
shared
understanding
of
what
our
common
goals
are.
We
believe
that
delivering
a
well
thought
out
engagement
plan,
a
vision
for
success,
vetted
policies,
practices
and
budget
recommendations.
AC
E
Okay-
I
don't
think
so,
mr
smith,
so
we
can
go
ahead
to
miss
cotton.
Thank
you.
AD
Good
afternoon,
chair
jenkins
and
committee,
I
will
be
providing
a
brief
overview
of
the
public
health
framework,
as
well
as
some
information
about
some
tertiary
work
happening
in
the
office
of
violence.
Prevention
feel
free
to
stop
me
if
there
are
any
questions
on
any
of
the
slides
or
information
provided.
Otherwise,
I'm
also
happy
to
take
questions
at
the
end
of
the
presentation.
AD
The
reason
why
we
wanted
to
go
over
the
public
health
framework
is
because
it
is
really
what
we've
been
trying
to
ground
the
progress
of
the
violence,
prevention
work
and
the
public
safety
reimagining
efforts
in,
and
we
think
it's
important
that
folks
understand
what
we
mean
when
we
say
the
public
health
framework
or
the
public
health
approach
for
many
years.
The
work
of
youth
violence
prevention
has
existed
in
minneapolis
under
the
umbrella
of
the
health
department
and
has
really
focused
on
uplifting
this
approach
so
to
get
started.
AD
We'll
use
this
slide
to
delineate
how
it
works
upfront
or
what
we
often
think
of
as
primary
prevention
are
approaches
that
are
traditionally
thought
of
as
prevention
they're.
The
things
that
we
can
do
before
any
violence
happens
that
can
address
the
underlying
needs
that
exist
in
communities
that
we
believe
may
be
vulnerable
to
violence,
but
also
overwhelmingly
in
communities
across
the
board.
AD
The
last
strategies
that
we
look
at
are
what
we
think
of
as
the
aftermath.
These
are
programs
that
really
address
violence
after
it
has
happened.
There
are
response
programs
and
things
that
work
to
address
communities
and
individuals
where
violence
is
prevalent.
We
think
about
some
of
the
communities
across
minneapolis
and
across
our
country.
AD
We
know
that
areas
where
poverty
is
concentrated,
where
joblessness
and
lack
of
stability
happen,
there's
often
concentrations
of
violence
as
well,
and
so
in
the
aftermath,
a
lot
of
the
work
is
happening
in
those
neighborhoods,
but
when
we
think
about
specific
forms
of
violence
like
trafficking
or
sexual
assault,
we
need
to
narrow
our
scope
in
focusing
on
who
we
work
it
with
in
the
aftermath.
So
developing
programs
for
people
who
have
been
trafficked
and
other
high-risk
populations
falls
into
work
in
the
aftermath
slide.
Please
understanding
solutions
and
the
prevention
pyramid.
AD
The
prevention
pyramid
is
really
a
key
structure.
That's
used
in
public
health
across
the
board,
so,
whether
we're
talking
about
the
prevention
of
the
transmission
of
hiv
or
the
covet
crisis
or
violence,
we
use
the
prevention
pyramid
to
give
us
context
in
how
we
address
prevention
in
our
work
in
public
health.
So
the
base
of
your
prevention
pyramid
is
primary
prevention.
AD
That
again
really
looks
at
designing
and
developing
sustainable
things
in
our
communities
that
keep
them
safe,
healthy
and
hopeful.
We
know
that
in
communities
and
with
individuals
when
their
basic
needs
are
being
met
and
when
they
have
the
things
that
we
think
of
as
protective
factors,
so
healthy
connections,
stable
housing,
stable
employment,
that
those
factors
really
play
a
key
role
in
reducing
violence,
and
so
that
is
the
base
of
our
work
and
where
we
want
to
focus
as
much
as
we
can
on
addressing
violence
before
it
happens.
AD
Secondary
prevention,
which
is
the
middle
piece
of
the
prevention
pyramid,
is
again
being
able
to
predict
where
there
may
be
high
risk,
based
on
research
and
numbers
for
violence
and
being
able
to
address
the
needs
of
those
individuals
and
communities
where
violence
is
a
risk
factor
as
early
as
possible.
We
know
that
the
sooner
we
provide
interventions,
the
more
likely
they
are
to
take
hold
and
the
faster.
AD
We
can
begin
to
mitigate
the
outcomes
of
that
violence,
and
the
tip
of
the
pyramid
is
what
we
call
tertiary
prevention,
and
that
is
really
focusing
on
those
individuals
and
communities.
Where
repeat
instances
of
violence
are
predictable
and
likely,
and
also
are
often
documented
and
ensuring
that
we
are
doing
all
that
we
can,
with
the
small
population
that
is
often
overly
victimized
by
violence,
but
ensuring
that
the
likelihood
for
that
continued
pattern
is
mitigated
is
incredibly
important
to
the
public
health
approach
and
so
just
to
contextualize.
AD
We
really
think
of
violence,
like
other
viruses
and
diseases,
that
it
is
not
an
inevitable
outcome.
It
is
something
that
can
be
prevented
and
mitigated.
Yes,
there
will
be
transmission,
we
live
in
a
society
that
is
imperfect,
and
so
violence
is
likely
to
happen,
but
we
can
reduce
the
rate
at
which
it
happens
by
being
strategic
and
developing
programs
and
plans
that
cut
across
all
three
of
these
sectors
to
ensure
that
we're
thinking
about
prevention,
true
intervention,
re-entry
and
enforcement.
So
our
approach
always
includes
all
four
of
those
elements.
AD
So
now
I'm
going
to
jump
into
some
of
the
service
provision.
That's
available.
I'm
going
to
talk
today,
specifically
about
some
of
the
tertiary
programs
that
we
offer,
knowing
that
many
people
are
concerned
about
how
we
will
be
able
to
continue
to
work
with
populations
impacted
by
violence.
As
we
begin
to
reimagine
public
safety,
we
want
to
ensure
people
that
there
are
models
that
we
are
currently
following
things
that
we
can
enhance
and
grow
to
better
address
the
needs
of
our
constituents
next
slide.
Please
next
step
is
our
hospital-based
model.
AD
We
started
this
work
at
hcmc,
which
is
downtown
and
often
serves
folks
that
are
coming
from
the
south
side,
but
because
it's
a
trauma,
one
center
does
receive
people
by
ambulance
and
self.
You
know
arrival
from
all
across
the
twin
cities,
metro
area.
AD
The
model
relies
severely
on
credible
messengers
who
arrive
at
the
hospital
as
violence,
intervention,
specialists
they're
doing
a
bedside
intervention.
They
get
within
30
minutes
a
page
in
order
to
deploy
to
the
emergency
room
and
largely
what
they're
doing
is
working
with
the
person
who
has
been
injured
if
they're,
awake
and
conscious
and
able
to
be
talked
with,
but
they're,
also
working
with
the
family
and
guests
of
those
people
who
have
been
hurt.
AD
We
recognize
that
the
hospital
can
be
a
very
traumatizing
place
to
be,
especially
when
a
loved
one
is
hurt
or
could
possibly
be
losing
their
life
and
providing
those
services
to
help
mediate.
That
stress
is
really
important,
especially
knowing
that
folks
who
come
into
the
hospital
often
have
underlying
trauma
when
dealing
with
systems
and
wanting
to
make
sure
that
they
get
a
seamless
experience
while
they're
in
the
hospital.
AD
We
also
recognize
that,
with
the
invent
of
modern
medicine,
a
lot
of
people
come
into
the
hospital
with
a
serious
injury
and
are
patched
up
and
sent
home
very
quickly,
and
no
one
is
really
ever
addressing
that
trauma
that
they've
experienced
as
a
result
of
being
a
victim.
The
mental
health
impact
that
is
going
to
be
long
term
and
the
life
adjustments
that
they're
going
to
have
to
make.
AD
We
believe
in
the
narrative
medicine
approach.
We
know
that
inevitably
hurt
people,
hurt
people
and
it's
critically
important
that
we
interrupt.
The
retaliatory
violence
that
we
see
in
our
community,
it
is
in
some
ways
human
nature
to
feel
the
need
to
vindicate
oneself
when
you've
been
injured
or
a
loved.
One
has
been
injured
to
go
out
and
seek
what
people
might
call
street
justice.
AD
Since
2006
we've
served
nearly
400
individuals
and
less
than
seven
percent
have
returned
to
hcmc
or
north
memorial
with
same
or
similar
injuries
nationally.
Where
programs
like
this
don't
exist,
the
return
rate
is
somewhere
around
forty
percent.
So
seven
percent
is
a
significant
reduction
to
what
we
would
expect
in
people
returning
with
same
or
similar
injuries
after
arriving
to
an
emergency
room
with
a
serious
injury
from
violence,
I'll
go
over
the
visual
quickly
and
then
I'll
move
fast
to
the
next
several
slides,
because
I
know
that
we've
been
together
for
a
long
time.
AD
So
we
focus
to
reduce
the
rate
of
violence
and
violence
re-injuries
for
hospitalized
victims.
We
support
positive
development
and
holistic
healing
for
victims
and
families
who
are
affected
by
violence,
and
we
work
to
interrupt
the
cycle
of
recurrent
violence
for
those
who
are
involved
with
the
next
step
program.
AD
AD
So
project
life
operates
with
a
three
pronged
approach
that
looks
at
a
community
moral
voice,
a
focused
law
enforcement
deterrent
and
moral
engagement
with
offenders
through
social,
social
services
and
case
management.
The
group
violence
intervention
is
a
partnership
where
no
one
institution
that
we've
mentioned
has
more
power
or
authority
than
the
other.
In
theory.
AD
The
idea,
really
particularly
in
the
minneapolis
iteration,
is
that
law
enforcement
have
their
objectives
and
social
services
often
have
their
objectives,
but
it
is
the
community
that
is
most
impacted
by
the
violence,
because
it
is
their
loved
ones,
who
are
both
being
victimized
and
often
are
the
perpetrators
of
the
violence.
So
it
is
critically
important
that
their
voices
are
centered
in
the
process
of
helping
us
to
do
justice
both
on
the
law
enforcement
side
of
the
project,
as
well
as
with
social
services.
AD
Next
slide,
please
gvi
focuses
on
summer
shootings
in
particular,
because
our
work
started
in
may.
It
is
a
a
research
base
that
we
track,
and
it's
also
the
time
of
year
where
we
see
the
highest
volume
of
shootings.
I
think
in
this
slide
the
most
important
data
to
capture
is
our
gang
member
involved,
non-fatal
shootings.
AD
We
know
that
the
volume
of
shootings
that
we
experience
in
a
city
not
only
indicates
the
people
who
are
actually
hit
by
bullets,
but
the
number
of
people
who
are
put
at
risk
and
are
oftentimes
left
petrified
as
a
result
of
bullets
ringing
out
in
their
neighborhood.
So
any
reduction
in
shootings
is
really
a
valuable
thing
in
enhancing
public
safety.
As
you
can
see
in
the
slide
before
we
started
this
model,
which
we
started
in
2007,
we
just
we
did
a
retrospective
look
at
the
number
of
gang
member
involved.
AD
AD
That
number
was
reduced
to
25
and
then
in
2019
that
number
was
at
27
and
while
that
is
a
slight
increase
from
the
previous
year
numerically,
you
know
for
research
purposes.
It's
relatively
stagnant.
That
being
said,
two
more
shootings
as
two
more
shootings,
and
we
don't.
We
don't
want
to
overlook
that,
but
we
do
feel
like
this
and
other
models
has
have
contributed
to
some
of
these
reductions
and
that
if
we
continue
to
do
them
with
fidelity,
we
hope
to
see
a
consistent
pattern.
AD
We
know
that
we've
expect
experienced
upticks
this
year,
but
we're
not
into
the
end
of
september.
Yet
so
we
don't
have
the
numbers
for
2020
just
yet
next
slide,
please
impacts
so
in
the
since
2017
may
of
2017.
When
we
started
this
work,
we've
served
over
230
participants.
I
think
that
number
is
actually
closer
to
250.
Now,
since
the
slide
was
created,
we
are
constantly
in
taking
new
clients,
and
that
represents
over
35
gangs
and
clicks.
AD
On
the
south
side,
we
have
been
actively
able
to
recruit
folks
from
the
african-american
community
in
the
south
side,
as
well
as
east
african
and
american
indian
participants,
and
so
we
are
growing
our
capacity
on
a
daily
basis
as
we
partner
with
more
organizations
who
can
help
spread
the
message
we
operate
with
the
framework
of
wanting
to
keep
people
safe
alive
and
free
and
as
of
when
this
slide
was
created
just
a
few
days
ago,
or
a
few
actually,
probably
a
week
ago,
19
project
life
participants
had
been
involved
in
or
shot
again
since
their
involvement
with
the
program
of
the
230
plus
people
we've
served
year.
AD
To
date,
we've
only
lost
one
project
participant
to
death.
That
was
in
our
first
year
of
implementation.
It
is
a
deep
tragedy
to
our
staff
and
something
that
we
are
always
focused
on
trying
to
keep
that
number
as
low
as
possible
and
free.
AD
It's
important
that
people
to
the
degree
that
it's
possible
remain
free
from
prison
and
incarceration
if
we
can
ensure
that
they're
not
involved
in
criminal
activity,
particularly
with
gun
violence,
so
just
31
project
life
participants
have
violated
probation
and
have
been
reincarcerated
or
incarcerated,
initially
as
a
result
of
probation
violations
next
slide,
please.
AD
AD
E
AE
Good
afternoon
sheri
jenkins
and
members
of
the
city
council,
my
name
is
ebony
adedayo.
I
do
want
to
make
a
correction
that
I
do
not
have
my
doctorate,
yet
I
appreciate
the
acknowledgement,
but
it's
a
long
process.
I
just
want
to
make
that
clarification
for
the
purposes
of
the
public
record,
I
will
be
talking
about
community
engagement
during
my
segment
of
the
presentation.
AE
I
reiterate
some
of
the
sentiments
that
have
been
expressed
already
due
to
the
long
piece
long
nature
of
this
meeting,
I'm
going
to
keep
my
section
as
short
as
possible.
I
also
want
to
reiter.
I
also
want
to
iterate
that,
as
we
think
about
and
envision
community
engagement
within
this
work
group,
we
are
thinking
about
community
engagement
of
not
doing
things
as
business
as
usual.
We
really
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
drawing
on
the
strengths
and
the
assets
and
the
knowledge
of
community
as
we
move
this
work
forward.
AE
So
next
slide,
please-
and
so
I
want
to
start
by
talking
about
our
engagement
goals
and
for
the
purposes
of
the
public
record,
I
will
be
reading
this
slide.
One
of
the
first
goals
that
we
have-
and
these
are
listed
not
in
order
of
priority
they're
just
listed,
because
these
are
values
for
our
team.
AE
Co-Creation,
emphasizing
the
remarks
that
council
member
cunningham
already
articulated
around
the
value
of
making
sure
that
multiple
players
are
at
the
table
and
making
sure
that
we
have
a
really
robust
engagement
plan
connection
people
feel
connected
to
one
another.
It's
not
just
about
the
city
hearing
from
community,
but
about
us
being
in
relationship
with
community,
which
means
that
we
value
the
process
as
well
as
the
end
product
as
well,
meaningful
and
relevant
dialogue.
The
community
feels
that
the
dialogue
has
been
meaningful
and
relevant
to
their
interest
in
their
daily
lives.
AE
Additive
inquiry
engagement
activities
built
upon
previous
engagements
and
reflect
what
the
public
has
already
told
us
on
these
topics:
access
to
information
and
opportunities
where
the
public
has
the
information
they
need
to
participate
in
ways
that
are
appropriate
to
their
experiences
and
lifestyle
access
being
the
key
word
here.
Engagement
strategies
are
varied
and
designed
to
meet
people
where
they
are
so,
whether
that
be
media,
whether
that
be
in
person,
whether
that
be
different
types
of
visuals.
AE
We
know
that
we
all
learn
in
different
ways
and
we
also
enter
community
in
different
ways
and
so
really
wanting
to
emphasize
that
the
engagement
has
to
be
accessible.
Contributions
have
impact
the
public
feels
that
their
input
has
been
thoroughly
thoughtfully
considered
and
sees
their
contributions
reflected
in
the
plan.
Residents
feel
a
sense
of
pride
in
the
system
of
public
safety
that
reflects
their
vision
and
values.
AE
AE
We
really
want
to
emphasize
the
fact
that
healing
research
and
planning
and
engagement
is
taking
place,
and
so,
as
in
a
subsequent
side,
I'll
illustrate
how
pre-engagement
is
one
of
the
first
stages
in
this
process
around
making
sure
we
have
a
robust
engagement
planned,
but
that
does
not
mean
that
research
and
planning
is
not
taking
place.
It
does
not
mean
that
healing
is
not
taking
place
at
that
stage
again
and
as
we
talk
about
healing,
we
know
that
there
has
been
a
lot
that
has
happened
in
our
city.
AE
We
know
that
there
has
been
a
lot
that
has
happened
to
community
members
in
the
process
as
a
result
of
the
murder
of
george
floyd,
and
so
we
know
that
there
is
healing
that
needs
to
happen,
but
we
really
want
to
place
the
onus
on
our
elected
bodies,
as
well
as
our
staff
to
drive
and
to
heal
within
this
process
that
that
onus
and
that
responsibility
should
not
be
placed
on
community
because
they
are
already
hurting
so
much
from
what
has
happened
next
slide
please.
AE
So
these
are
five
phases
of
the
work
we
mentioned
co-creation
as
one
of
the
key
value
statements
that
we
have
in
doing
this
community
engagement
plan,
and
so
these
are
high
level
phases
that
we've
mapped
out
to
help
us
get
to
the
end
goal
of
having
recommendations
that
does,
and
so
as
we
have
these
phases.
AE
AE
Actually,
can
we
go
back
to
the
following
slide?
I
didn't
say
what
the
state
phases
were
so
phase,
one
being
pre-engagement
and
planning
phase,
two
being
research
phase,
three
being
long-term
engagement,
phase,
four,
being
solution,
development
and
phase
5
being
recommendations
now
the
next
slide
so
for
phase
one
you
see
on
this
chart
ahead
of
you
that
we
have
mapped
out
what
phase
different
things
happen
in
the
activities
that
go
along
with
those
things,
as
well
as
the
outcomes
that
accompany
those
activities
and
so
with
pre-engagement
in
phase
one.
AE
You
will
see
activities
that
encompass
that
phase,
launching
virtual
opportunities
to
co-create
long-term
engagement
plans
and
having
a
digital
survey
launched
to
accompany
that
pre-engagement,
an
outcome
being
of
this
particular
phase.
Community
engagement
plan
is
co-created
and
developed
with
residents
and
staff,
and
so
again
going
back
to
that
co-creation
value
that
we've
already
articulated
so
phase.
Two
really
involves
research,
synthesis
and
planning
so
with
research,
establishing
research
teams,
gathering
existing
data
and
information,
conducting
literature
review
about
what
the
different
things
mean
like
what
does
defunding
police
mean?
What
does
abolishing
police
mean?
AE
What
is
demolishing
like
there
are
so
many
different
there's
a
lot
of
jargon,
that's
happening,
and
we
want
to
really
be
able
to
understand
like
what
these
things
mean
and
what
it,
what
is,
the
literature
that's
already
out
there
that
exists
that
can
help
support
the
work,
as
we
have
this
year-long
inquiry
around
what
the
future
of
community
safety
will
look
like
the
outcome
being
shared
understanding
of
what
we
know
and
what
community
has
already
told
us
about
their
experience,
also
wanting
to
emphasize
in
this
research
phase
that,
as
sasha
has
already
articulated
that
there
has
been
a
lot
of
ongoing
work
within
various
departments,
and
so
community
members
within
those
departments
have
already
told
us
how
they
have
felt
about
community
saving
safety
and
so
research
being
able
to
draw
on
what
people.
AE
People
have
already
told
us
over
the
years
of
doing
this
work
really
factors
into
this
phase
as
well
synthesis
sort,
existing
data
into
things
categorized
by
specific
problems
or
pain
points
experienced
by
residents.
In
this
phase,
we
engage
community
stakeholders
and
staff
to
create
and
validate
themes
around
what
the
research
is
saying.
AE
The
thematic
challenge
areas
are
identified
and
verified
with
the
community,
so
that
is
the
outcome
in
this
particular
stage:
planning
identifying
key
audiences
to
engage
for
each
challenge,
area,
developing
engagement,
objectives,
tactics
and
questions,
building,
partnerships
to
lead
and
guide
engagement,
as
we
as
I
will
have
articulated.
AE
We
believe
that
they're
different
says
the
stakeholders
that
we
need
to
engage
throughout
this
process,
and
so
we
want
to
make
sure
that,
as
we
want
all
of
the
engagement
to
be
accessible,
that
we'll
be
building
partnerships
that
actually
meet
the
audience's
needs
as
well,
and
so
the
outcome
of
this
planning
stage
is
deeper,
that
we
have
a
deeper
dive
in
engagements
are
designed
for
each
thematic
challenge
area.
AE
Next
slide,
please
phases.
Three
four
and
five
are
not
as
detailed
as
phases.
Two
because
again,
we
are
wanting
to
leave
this
process
open
to
make
sure
that
the
opinions
and
the
thoughts
and
the
experiences
of
community
members
are
really
reflected
in
how
we
do
the
work,
and
so
we
have
some
high
level
bullet
point
for
each
of
these
phases
for
phase
three.
AE
With
that
really,
we
really
believe
that
that's
about
long-term
engagement,
which
means
capturing
resident
experiences,
collaborating
with
residents
on
developing
ideas
and
exploring
solutions
with
each
thematic
challenge
area
the
outcome
with
that
being
solutions
to
community
safety,
that
center
resident
experiences
to
make
sure
that
they're
captured
and
that
they
are
prioritized,
prioritized
phase
four
solution,
development,
developing
vetting
and
feasibility
of
ideas,
ideas,
we're
testing
and
prototyping
solutions
at
this
phase,
and
so
all
of
the
research
all
of
the
data
that
we
have
collected.
AE
So
these
are
the
audiences
and
the
stakeholder
groups
that
I've
talked
about
throughout
the
duration
of
my
segment,
and
so
we
want
to
engage
on
black
indigenous
people
of
color.
We
want
to
engage
lbgqia
communities,
we
want
to
engage
sex
workers
and
those
in
the
informal
economy,
cultural
organizations,
immigrants
and
refugees,
neighborhood
organizations,
crime,
victims,
property
owners,
youth
and
families,
children,
domestic
abuse,
sexual
violence
survivors.
AE
This
list
is
not
meant
to
be
exhaustive,
but
it's
meant
to
highlight
our
intentionality
and
commitment
to
making
sure
that
as
many
pos
people
as
possible
are
engaged
in
this
process
as
possible,
with
particular
intention
to
those
who've
been
historically
marginalized,
including
those
who
have
experienced
violence
and
harm
by
our
system
and
in
community
as
well
additional
stakeholders
as
we
go
city
of
minneapolis
residents,
public
agencies,
media
outlets,
college
students,
institutions,
tourists
and
visitors,
the
general
public
and
there's
probably
a
segment
of
the
population
that
we
have
missed
here.
AE
That
is
because
we
have
captured
so
much
if
there
are
other
things
that
we're
missing
here,
we'll
be
free
to
add,
but
we'll
be
happy
to
add
that
to
this
list
we
just
want
to
make
sure
that,
as
we
move
forward,
we
are
paying
special
attention
to
all
of
these
ways
that
people
show
up
next
slide.
Please,
and
here
are
potential
engagement
strategies
that
could
possibly
unfold
as
we
move
forward
again.
AE
This
list
does
not
mean
to
be
exhausted,
but
to
meant
to
be
suggestive
of
what
could
possibly
happen
and
take
place
as
we
as
a
community
engagement
strategy
unfolds.
So
meeting
in
a
box,
town
halls,
ward
meetings,
focus
groups,
websites,
artist,
design,
engagements,
civic
engagement,
phase,
summaries
handouts,
topical
presentations,
study
sessions
and
surveys
and
to
also
iterate
like
with
all
of
this.
We
know
that,
because
we
are
in
the
mr
covid
that
many
of
these
engagement
sessions
will
take
place
online
and
also
because
not
everyone
has
access
to
online
mediums.
AE
We
know
that
we
will
have
to
make
sure
that
there
are
engagement
opportunities
for
people
to
take
place
for
people
to
engage
in
public
as
well,
and
so
that
is
part
of
what
we
are
thinking
about
as
we
continue
to
move
this
work
forward.
I
believe
this
is
my
last
slide.
I
will
hand
it
over
to
council
member
cunningham
to
take
us
out.
X
Thank
you
almost
doctor.
I
appreciate
it,
so
I
do
want
to
circle
back
right,
quick
before
we
move
into
next
steps
for
clarification
around
the
co,
the
conducting
a
literature
review
so
that
folks
have
kind
of
a
clear
understanding.
X
The
literature
review
will
also
include
background
on
what
are
other
cities
doing.
What
are
other
examples
of
models
where
the
evidence
gathering
that
information
to
be
able
to
be
a
framework
and
to
create
shared
definitions
around
what
we're
hearing
in
the
public
discourse
so
that
we
have
an
understanding
as
a
city
how
people
are
showing
up
to
the
conversation
with
a
shared
understanding,
since
those
various
slogans
are
being
used
and
meant
in
different
ways.
X
Will
you
I'm
sorry
that
that
isn't
these
two,
my
my
apologies,
so
going
back
to
phase
two
that
ebony
spoke
to?
X
There
was
a
literature
review
component
within
that,
and
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
that
we
named
also
that
the
work
is
going
to
be
evaluating
gathering
research
from
what
other
cities
are
doing
and
to
clarify
that
the
purpose
of
being
able
to
have
a
better
understanding
of
what
do
people
mean
when
they
say
defund
the
police
or
abolish
the
police,
that
we
have
a
joint
understanding
of
what
those
phrases
mean
so
that
when
we
have
that
conversation,
we
have
more
clarity
around
it.
Thank
you
for
no
thank
you.
X
X
So
we
just
did
a
rather
deep
dive
into
community
engagement
and
the
process
what
to
expect.
But
I
want
to
remind
everyone
of
what
happens
beyond
engagement
with
the
data
evidence
and
co-created
solutions
gathered
through
the
first
three
phases.
The
future
community
safety
work
group
will
then
transition
into
systemic
change
by
bringing
forward
prototyping
recommendations
which
will
include
strategies
to
be
tested
on
a
small
scale
to
learn
what
works,
what
doesn't
work
and
how
to
improve
those
strategies
before
scaling
and
institutionalizing
them.
X
X
There
will
be
key
several
key
decision
points
ahead
for
the
city
council
to
ensure
transparency
and
public
discussion
throughout
this
complex
process
along
the
way.
First,
following
phase
one,
the
future
of
community
safety
work
group
will
be,
will
bring
forward
a
community
engagement
plan
for
the
city
council
to
discuss
and
approve.
This
will
lay
out
details
like
a
timeline,
specific
strategies,
community
partners,
etc.
X
What
will
emerge
from
the
initial
engagement
will
be
a
community
defined
vision
of
success.
We
as
a
council
will
acknowledge
this
vision
by
taking
an
appropriate
action
on
it
to
affirm
to
affirm
it
as
the
basis
on
which
we
shall
proceed
in
the
rest
of
the
work
again.
Following
engagement,
the
work
group
will
then
bring
forward
recommendations
for
prototyping
and
testing
strategies.
X
X
X
We
know
that
there
are
many
community
members
who
are
eager
to
dive
into
this
work
as
soon
as
possible.
So
here
are
three
specific
items.
They
should
be
aware
of
as
opportunities
to
get
involved
in
the
very
near
future.
First,
there
will
be
virtual
and
in-person,
but
physically
distant
opportunities
to
engage
in
phase
one,
which
is
the
development
of
the
community
engagement
plan.
We
want
to
try
to
democratize
this
entire
process
as
much
as
possible.
X
Additionally,
there
will
be
an
online
survey
to
begin
gathering
preliminary
data
on
the
community's
vision
of
success
and
just
to
be
able
to
pause
there.
A
vision
of
success
means
answers
the
question:
what
does
it
look
and
feel
like
if
the
city
were
to
get
this
right?
If
we
as
a
city,
not
only
city
hall
and
city
government,
but
the
residents
as
well?
If
we
work
together
and
co-produce
the
exact
right
results?
What
does
that
look
and
feel
like?
So
that
is
what
the
vision
of
success
means.
X
Finally,
there
will
be
given
that
there's
a
great
diversity
in
the
kinds
of
safety
challenges
we
face.
As
a
city,
there
will
be
opportunities
for
community
members
to
provide
input
on
what
specific
areas
we
should
focus
on.
So
we've
heard
feedback
already
for
challenges
and
issues
like
loss,
prevention
and
commercial,
sexual
exploitation
and
community
members
can
then
sign
up
for
community
committee
work
that
will
help
inform
prototyping
and
the
implementation
plan.
X
I
know
we
covered
a
lot
today,
but
I
can
assure
you
we
would
probably
spend
a
lot
more
time
digging
into
the
complexities
of
this
work
if
we
were
able
to
but
we'll
wrap
it
up
there.
So
thank
you,
colleagues,
and
to
the
city
staff
who
have
stepped
up,
who
already
have
so
much
work
on
their
plates.
Thank
you
all
for
being
invested
in
this
work
next
slide.
Please.
X
I
will
now
we
will
now
open
it
up
to
questions
comments
or
feedback
from
my
colleagues.
Thank
you.
Everyone.
E
Oh,
thank
you,
council,
member
cunningham
and
all
the
staff
involved
and
to
you,
dr
adebayo,
and
and
brian
smith
and
joy,
miss
joy,
marsh
stevens
and
yes,
I
did
intend
to
call
you
doctor.
You
certainly
are
a
doctor
in
our
book,
so
we
do
have
a
a
question
or
a
comment
from
council
members,
fletcher
parmisano
and
gordon
in
that
order.
T
Thank
you,
council
vice
president,
and
thank
you
to
everybody
who
put
this
together.
This
is
such
important
work
and
I
think
we're
we're
very
lucky
to
have
the
kind
of
you
know,
strength
of
thoughtful
engagement,
expertise
that
we
have
at
our
city.
So
I
you
know,
I'm
I'm
very
encouraged
to
see
this.
T
I
will
say
this
is
a
very
high
level
theoretical
presentation
and
I
think
we're
very
glad
that
the
theoretical
underpinnings
are
there
that
we're
doing
this
in
a
really
disciplined
way
and
we've
really
thought
rigorously
about
what
engagement
means
and
and
what
what
our
goals
are
for
each
stage
of
this,
but
I
think
for
an
awful
lot
of
people.
T
The
question
that
they're
asking
is
you
know:
where
do
I
go
to
actually
tell
you
what
I
think
you
know
what's
what's
the
next
step
for
me
to
actually
contribute
my
thoughts
and
and
start
to
to
participate
in
this?
And
so
I
guess
I'm
I'm
wondering
you
know
what
should
we
tell
people
about
where
they
should
look
for?
It
sounds
like
the
first
thing
that
will
be
coming
is
a
digital
survey.
T
That's
the
beginning
of
sort
of
co-creating.
The
process,
so
where
does
that
come
out?
Where
do
they
sign
up
to
make
sure
they
see
it?
How
do
we
make
sure
that
how
can
we
tell
people
that
they
can
make
sure
they
can
participate.
X
I
can
I
can
speak
to
that.
Thank
you
for
creating
the
space
for
this
clarification.
So
we
do
have
a
community
engagement
subcommittee
that
will
be
convening
to
be
able
to
work
out
the
specifics
and
in
the
very
near
future.
What
that
will
then
turn
to
is
we'll
be
leveraging
our
partnerships
through
ncr.
We
will
be
leaning
into
all
of
you
to
be
able
to
get
that
information
out.
I
do
feel
like
we
did
provide
some
specifics
around
like
what
the
actual
strategies
will
be.
X
Who
are
the
kind
of
groups
that
we
will
be
working
towards?
We
don't
have
specific
dates
around
come
to
this
space.
On
this
date.
We
will
have
that
information
in
the
near
future,
so
I
would
say
that
folks
should
turn
to
council
members,
because
we
are
going
to
be
looking
to
you
to
be
able
to
highlight
that
information
and
we
will
be
leveraging
city
communications
who
will
be
at
the
table
as
well
as
neighborhood
community
relations.
E
Alrighty
next
we
have
councilmember
pamasano.
U
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
U
But
my
question
is:
is
there
any
timeline
set
right
now
or
even?
Is
there
a
length
of
time
set
to
these
four
different
phases
that
have
been
really
nicely
outlined,
but
I'm
just
it's
really
important
to
set
public
expectations
and
when
is
the
deliverable
or
or
even
more
specific
than
that?
What's
the
length
of
time
for
these
different
phases
or
what's
the
timeline
we're
looking
at?
When
is
the
deliverable
due
for
phase
one,
because
I
just
honestly
today
learned
about
a
process
to
co-create
the
long-term
engagement
plan?
U
And
that's
I
understand
where
you
guys
are
coming
from
in
that
effort,
and
I
appreciate
that.
I
just
didn't
think
that
we
were
even
gonna.
Have
that
step.
I
thought
today
now
that
we
were
learning
what
the
plan
was
going
to
be.
So
I'm
just
I'm
worried
that
this
is
going
to
be
too
much
for
any
resident
to
really
track.
So
can
you
help
me
understand
timelines
here
or
when
will
be
at
the
end
of
phase
one.
U
X
I
suppose
I
can
jump
in
again,
but
I
do
welcome
my
co-presenters
to
also
jump
in
so
so.
X
This
is
a
lesson
that
I
feel
like
we
as
a
city
should
learn
from
previous
engagements,
where
folks
have
given
that
feedback
you're
telling
us
how
you're
engaging
us
rather
than
asking
us,
how
do
we
want
to
be
engaged
and
given
the
fact
that
folks
feel
so
strongly
about
this,
this
felt
particularly
important
to
build
this
particular
phase
into
this
work.
That's
ahead,
this
pre-planning
phase
or
pre-engagement
phase
is
not
meant
to
be
long.
X
The
it
should
be
no
more
than
a
couple
of
months
so
that
we
can
launch
a
full
long-term
community
engagement,
but
there
will
be
opportunities
in
the
meantime
to
still
be
engaged.
The
structure
of
the
community
engagement
plan
will
come
before
council,
I
would
say
in
in
the
next
couple
of
months,
but
I
don't
we
as
a
work
group.
X
We
as
a
as
a
core
team
are
still
hammering
out
the
specifics
based
on
the
feedback
that
we're
getting,
and
so
I
I
just
want
to
be
careful
to
not
say
like
on
january
10th.
That's
when
this
thing
will
happen,
so
I
just
want
to
be
mindful
of
not
setting
that
expectation,
but
we're
happy
to
come
back
as
a
core
team
to
be
able
to
present
with
more
specifics
as
we
move
through
the
pre-engagement
process.
When
we
come
back
with
the
community
engagement
plan,.
U
U
I
think
that
the
way
that
we
might
the
unfortunate
way
that
I
think
we've
fallen
down
is
that
we
didn't
say
that
in
the
very
beginning
or
know
that
in
the
very
beginning
and
now
people
expect
us
to
be
at
the
beginning
of
phase
two
and
that
we
would
have
had
that
beginning
of
phase
two
back
on
july,
24th
per
our
council
action.
So
I
appreciate
this
extra
step.
I'm
just
worried
about
timelines
and
setting
expectations
here,
so
you've
cleared
that
up.
Thank
you.
Z
Yeah,
thank
you
very
much
and
I
really
appreciate
the
work
and
the
report,
and
actually
I
found
it
very
exciting.
When
I
saw
the
phase
one
and
it
said
pre-engagement
I
saw
we
were
actually
engaging
in
that.
So
that's
an
engagement
part
there.
In
fact,
I
would
encourage
us
to
hurry
up
and
go
ahead
and
launch
the
virtual
opportunities
to
co-create
the
long-term
engagement
plan.
Obviously
that's
an
engagement
strategy
and
also
our
digital
survey.
Z
So
I
think
the
sooner
we
can
launch
those
after
the
council
finally
and
the
mayor
signs
off
on
this
plan,
probably
the
better,
because
people
will
still
be
engaged.
I
also
know
that
there's
a
lot
that
council
members
will
be
doing
and
have
been
doing
to
to
listen
to
folks
and
get
them
involved.
So
I
really
appreciated
some
of
those
ideas
and
in
fact
the
more
we
can
help
facilitate.
I
think
I
did.
I
think.
Z
Maybe
you
referenced
the
meeting
in
a
box
idea
in
the
presentation,
but
the
sooner
we
can
roll
that
out
and
get
people
doing
that,
and
maybe
they
can
even
do
surveys
with
friends
in
the
in
the
phase.
One
part
about
that
too,
to
get
more
involved
it'll
be
critically
important.
I
also
don't
necessarily
see
why
we
can't
start
some
of
that
research-
everybody,
not
everybody.
Z
I
think
it's
there's
momentum
here
and
I'll
be
nice
if
we
can
keep
that
momentum
going
in
a
thoughtful
way-
and
I
have
to
tell
you
that
I'm
just
getting
this
report
and
hearing
from
you
all
makes
me
feel
a
little
bit
less
lonely
and
a
little
bit
less
like
I'm
out
on
a
limb
and
like
now,
we
can
start
to
gather
our
resources
as
a
city
community
and
help
move
forward
with
this
healing
and
this
engagement
process
that
we
need
to
do
to
to
to
move
forward.
Z
So
I
think
that
that
is
absolutely
fantastic
and
I
really
appreciate
it.
The
one
last
thing
I'd
like
to
mention
is
that
one
of
the
best
things
that
I
did
so
far
was
figured
out
a
way
to
have
in-person
community
meetings,
and
I
know
that
there's
there's
safety
concerns
and
there's
many
health
issues
that
are
probably
involved
in
these.
Z
But
following
all
the
the
block
club
meetings,
the
impromptu
meetings,
the
protests
when
we
were
all
together
or
many
of
us
were
together
for
long
periods
of
time
and
we
didn't
see
any
big
spikes
from
that.
Necessarily
in
terms
of
cases
of
covid.
Z
I
went
ahead
and
I
was
willing-
and
I
offered
to
do-
meetings
outdoors
in
parks
with
masks
with
social,
distancing
and
safety
precautions
to
talk
about
this
issue,
and
I
had
probably
150
people
show
up
at
one
of
the
parks
for
one
of
those
meetings
and
we
ended
up
having
a
really
good
discussion
where
everybody
could
see
everybody
and
we
were
kind
of
there
in
person.
I
also
ended
up
getting
invited
to
a
block
club,
so
some
of
the
block
clubs
had
kept
meeting
in
yards
socially
distanced.
Z
Many
most
in
masks
the
block
clubs-
maybe
it
wasn't
quite
so
much,
but
I
think
that
was
really
fruitful
and
worthwhile.
So
I
hope
we
can
keep
that
in
the
back
of
our
minds,
and
I
hope
you
can
accept
me
if
I
decide
that
I'm
willing
to
do
a
few
more
of
those
to
hear
from
folks
in
ward
2
and
if
any
of
my
colleagues
would
like
to
maybe
join
and
do
some
a
little
bit
together,
I'm
open
to
that
too.
Z
We
certainly
know
that
we
have
to
use
a
lot
of
precautions
and
do
it
in
a
healthy
way
mom,
but
it
can
make
a
big
difference
and
I'll
be
excited
to
get
started
and
working
on
anything.
So
you
give
me
that
survey
and
I'll
start
promoting
it
and
pushing
it
out
there.
In
fact,
that's
my
big
question
is:
what
can
I
do
tomorrow
or
what
can
I
do
right
after
the
next
council
meeting
to
help.
AC
AE
Muted,
sorry,
thank
you
for
your
comments.
Councilmember
gordon.
I
wanted
to
thank
you
for
what
you
said,
but
also
to
address
some
of
the
things
and
in
your
statements
as
we
have
been
talking
about
engagement,
one
of
the
things
I
feel
right
now
is
this
angst
and
this
urgency
around
wanting
to
make
sure
that
we
are
engaging
the
public
as
soon
as
possible,
which
I
think
is
fair.
AE
I
just
want
us
to
be
cautious
around
how
urgent
we
feel
that
has
to
take
place
and
to
go
with
community
on
this
to
track
with
community
on
this
and
not
to
force
a
city
process,
because
we
have
a
deadline,
and
so
like
I'm
feeling
some
tension
around
like
some
like,
I
feel
like
they're
all
well-meaning,
but
I'm
feeling
that
tension
right
now,
and
so
I
can
only
imagine
those
who
have
been
on
the
front
line
holding
space
since
this
murder
happened
are
probably
also
anxious
right
now,
and
so
I
I
just
really
want
us
to
keep
that
in
mind
that
people
are
hurting
people,
don't
necessarily
have
the
greatest
sense
of
trust
with
us,
with
the
city
with
electives
with
staff,
and
that
we're
carrying
all
of
that
as
we're
asking
them
and
to
engage
in
a
process
around
community
safety.
AE
No
matter
how
well
intentioned
it
may
be.
The
other
piece
about
that
is
that
I
just
wanted
to
go
back
to
one
of
the
slides
that
I
named
with
the
the
diagram
around
the
healing
the
research
and
the
engagement
to
really
emphasize
emphasize
that
everything
is
like.
Even
though
we're
really
marking
some
really
distinct
phases
throughout
the
process,
those
things,
those
elements
are
things
that
also
carry
forward
in
every
stage,
and
so
one
stage
might
emphasize
research
a
little
bit
more.
AE
But
that
does
not
mean
that
engagement
and
healing
doesn't
happen,
and
one
stage
might
emphasize
engagement
more,
but
that
doesn't
mean
that
research
and
healing
isn't
happening,
and
so
just
because
those
are
called
out
in
really
distinct
phases
does
not
mean
that
the
other
elements
are
not
happening
in
concert
with
those,
as
well
as
things
that
we
probably
overlooked
and
did
not
name
in
that.
So
I
also
want
to
just
articulate
that
you
know.
AE
Even
though
phase
one
is
pre-engagement
we're
also
doing
research,
there
we're
also
doing
healing
work
there,
we're
not
ignoring
those
other
pieces
that
are
very
necessary
to
the
process,
we're
just
really
for
the
sake
of
our
own
sanity
and
timeline,
trying
to
articulate
what
are
the
key
things
that
are
happening
at
different
phases,
and
so
someone
else
might
want
to
speak.
To
some
of
the
other
comments
you
made
like,
I
think
you
talked
about
like
like
how
do
how
do
we
do
this
virtual
survey
right
away?
AC
Chair
jenkins,
this
is
brian,
unless
somebody
else
is
in
queue.
I
can
also
respond
to
a
little
bit.
AC
Thank
you,
chair
jenkins,
count
committee
members
to
piggyback
on
a
lot
of
what
my
colleagues
have
said,
including
councilmember
gordon,
and
I
think
even
councilmember
palmisano
spoke
to
a
little
bit.
Is
that
a
lot
of
council
members
and
a
lot
of
staff
have
been
doing
what
we
what
we
presented?
You
was
with
you
when
we
presented
with
a
framework,
and
within
that
framework
we
didn't
give
you
details
about
how
every
little
step
of
that
is.
AC
AC
To
sum
it
up,
because
one
of
the
best
examples
I
can
give
other
than
what
councilmember
gordon
said
is
immediately
after
the
resolution
passed,
councilmember
pamasano
started
to
have
meetings
around
a
new
safety
model
and
what
this
new
thing
could
possibly
be
in
her
ward
and
she
contacted
my
me
and
my
staff
to
be
a
part
of
those
meetings
so
and
to
say.
Is
there
a
way
that
we
can
capture
what
my
constituents
are
saying?
So
they
can
be
a
part
of
whatever's
being
put
together
moving
forward
and
that
voice
is
not
lost.
AC
I
would
encourage
all
of
the
council
members
to
do
that
if
they
have
an
opportunity
to
reach
out
to
me
and
my
colleagues
to
say,
hey
we're
putting
this
together
and
not
just
wait
for
us
to
do
it,
because
there's
a
lot
of
other
things
that
we're
taking
into
consideration
that
everybody
else
is
which
is
the
safety
of
our
staff,
our
own
personal
safety
and
again
getting
some
assurances
and
having
some
thorough
conversations
with
the
this
body
about
what
are
we
leading
people
to,
because
one
of
the
things
that
we're
putting
on
the
line
is
our
reputations,
our
relationships
and
the
cachet
that
we've
built
over
the
years.
AC
You
can't
drink
because
of
conversations
that
we
haven't
had
and
things
that
we're
not
sure
about
yet
and
that's
a
real
possibility
and
that's
what
we
don't
want
to
do
more
damage
to
people,
and
so
I
think,
there's
some
other
conversations
that
we
need
to
have
with
decision
makers
with
policymakers
with
electeds
to
say
look.
This
is
a
step
we're
about
to
take.
AC
We
need
some
assurances
that
when
we
do
these
things,
that
people
are
gonna
get
what
they
say
they
want
out
of
this
engagement
and
so-
and
I
think
that
that
can
happen
when
we
prepare.
AC
When
we
take
our
time
I
mean
I,
I
think,
has
it
been
a
full
90
days
since
george
floyd
was
killed.
I
mean
these.
These
things
are
moving
rather
rapidly
and
there's
a
lot
of
people.
Who've
already
had
engagement
throughout
the
city,
different
cultural
groups,
different
neighborhoods,
who
we're
in
touch
with
and
we're
putting
all
of
that
work.
All
of
those
conversations
into
this
pre-engagement,
along
with
setting
up
some
other
things,
and
we've
also
had
over
8
000
surveys
that
went
out
from
the
performance
and
innovation
team.
AC
Around
evidence
I
mean
around
emotionally
disturbed
persons,
calls
edp
calls
around
report
only
calls
and
a
host
of
other
things
to
get
feedback
on
what
they
want
as
we
move
forward.
So
all
of
that
is
being
put
into
this
pre-planning
process,
so
we're
not
starting
from
scratch.
There's
a
lot
of
things
we
can
use
to
lean
on
about
conversations
that
have
already
been
happening
about
sex
workers,
victims
of
crime,
there's
a
lot
of
stuff
that's
going
on,
so
I
don't
want
anybody
to
be
left
with
the
impression
that
we're
creating
this
model.
AC
Z
Thank
you.
I
appreciate
that
and
I
just
want
to
clarify
for
the
record.
I
never
would
have
gone
to
the
the
park
meeting
unless
somebody
hadn't
asked
me
so
in
a
way
people
are
some
people
are
ready.
Some
people
aren't
same
with
the
club
meetings,
and
so
I
think
we
need
to
be
ready
too,
but
I
really
appreciate
all
those
comments
and
thoughts
and
also
for
the
record
I
raved
about
150
people
coming
to
one.
E
Yeah,
no
thank
you
councilmember,
gordon
and
mr
smith
and
ms
adebayo.
We
I
actually
hosted
a
virtual
public
safety
town
hall
last
night
myself,
I
I
know
maybe
people
we
got
this
in
our
mailbox
mailbox
physical
mailboxes
in
city
hall,
but
the
third
precinct
did
a
a
huge
survey
and
has
submitted
their
comments
to
all
of
us.
Again.
It's
a
it's
a
physical,
hard
copy
document.
E
So
it's
in
our
mailbox,
but
I
I
do
agree
that
engagement
has
begun
and
in
engaging
the
q
community
in
developing
an
engagement
plan
is
in
fact
the
self-engagement
as
well
councilmember
goodman
did
you
have
a
a
comment
or
a
question?
E
I
I
know
you,
you
have
a
question
in
the
chat.
Do
you
want
to
bring
that
forward?
In
the
conversation.
U
I
think
council
member
goodman
had
to
leave
the
meeting
actually.
So
I
don't
think
she's
here
in
the
team's
meeting
anymore.
E
All
right,
thank
you
very
much.
Councilmember.
T
T
But
I
I
do
also
want
to
emphasize-
and
I
think
maybe
the
tension
that
some
of
my
colleagues
are
expressing
as
well
is
around
the
danger
of
this
starting
to
appear
like
a
filibuster,
if,
if
it,
if
it
ends
up
taking
so
long
that
we
miss
a
budget
cycle
and
miss
some
of
the
deadlines
that
are
real,
that
you
know,
we
are
going
to
be
voting
on
a
budget
in
december
and
there
are
decisions
that
we're
going
to
be
making
as
a
council
whether
this
engagement
has
informed
it
or
not,
and
I
I
I
just
want
to
make
sure.
T
I
think
one
of
the
things
that
would
really
in
inspire
cynicism
would
be
for
us
to.
T
You
know
rush
into
it
without
a
plan
and
and
and
do
engagement
that
doesn't
lead
somewhere,
but
it
it
will
also
inspire
cynicism
for
all
the
people
who
have
participated
in
forms
of
engagement
that
have
already
begun
and
told
us
about
things
that
they
want
and
started
to
really
create
a
vision
for
us
to
say
we're
still
waiting
on
the
engagement
and
we're
not
ready
to
act,
because
one
of
the
operative
questions,
of
course,
that
everybody's
asking
is
is
you
know,
is:
are
the
elected
officials
in
government
actually
going
to
follow
through
on
our
commitments
to
do
something
transformative?
T
And
so
I
think
it's
very
important
that
we
take
those
deadlines
seriously
and
align
this
work
so
that
it
leads
into
that.
You
know
as
best
we
can
recognizing
that
some
of
these
deadlines
are
not
ones
that
we
would
have
naturally
imposed
on
the
work.
So
I
appreciate
the
tension
and
it's
something
that
we're
gonna
have
to
wrestle
with,
but
I
do
think
that
it's
important
to
make
sure
that
we're
you
know
honoring
our
commitments
and
and
aligning
this
engagement
to
feed
into
the
decision.
T
Points
that
the
council
has.
You
know
to
to
make
decisions
together.
X
Madam
vice
president,
if
I
may
respond
yes,
please,
so
we
absolutely
have
a
challenging
balance
right
now.
In
this
conversation,
we
I
want
us
to
be
mindful
as
a
city
as
we
are
stepping
into
this
process,
that
we
are
being
as
thoughtful
as
possible
in
order
to
not
lead
us
down
a
path
in
which
we
are
rushing
into
a
process
because
of
the
city
council's
legislative
process.
X
I
look
to
you
as
my
colleagues,
if
you
are
wanting
the
implementation
plan
before
like
december
2nd
when
the
final
budget
is
approved,
like
I
just
I,
I
don't
know
the
integrity
of
that
process.
That
would
come
out
of
it.
I
don't
know
the
quality
of
the
work
that
would
come
out
of
it,
and
I
don't
know
the
level
of
engagement
that
we
would
be
able
to
get
in
order
for
us
to
be
able
to
do
that
in
such
a
short
period
of
time.
X
Unfortunately,
you
know
they
they
they
say
change
moves
at
the
speed
of
trust
and
right
now
there
is
not
trust
between
government.
In
this
case
the
city
of
minneapolis
and
residents.
X
We
have
to
be
able
to,
as
elected
officials,
establish
trust
that,
if
folks
participate
in
this
process,
the
recommendations
that
are
that
they
spend
the
time
co-creating
with
us
will
actually
be
implemented.
That
is
something
that
we
have
to
be
able
to
reassure
folks,
so
that
they're
even
invested
in
doing
it
in
the
first
place.
X
I
think
that
it's
really
important
that,
if
it
takes
from
my
perspective,
if
it
takes
time
for
us
to
be
able
to
get
this
right,
then
we
have
to
figure
out
how
to
navigate
this
as
elected
officials
who
are
constrained
by
a
legislative
process
and
adapt
to
it
in
order
to
be
able
to
to,
as
best
as
possible,
create
space
for
this
process
to
unfold
with
integrity
and
with
high
quality.
X
So
I
I
hear
that
folks
are
looking
to
us
to
immediately
take
action
and
to
be
able
to
demonstrate
that
we
are
following
through
with
what
we
said.
There
will
be
opportunities
for
folks
to
be
engaged
in
the
very
near
future,
but
for
the
overall
process
for
us
to
be
able
to
start
having
those
concrete
deliverables
come
through.
That's
going
to
take
time,
but
that's
going
to
take
that's
going
to
take
capacity.
X
That's
going
to
take
support,
bringing
in
our
national
partners
building
those
building
out
those
relationships
in
different
ways.
Relationship
building
is
going
to
also
have
to
be
a
component
of
this
so
again,
folks,
even
trust
that
what
they
do
in
this
process
matters
because
based
on
history,
folks
feel
that
their
voice
goes
unheard.
They
show
up
to
the
table
time
and
time
again,
so
I
hear
that
I
we
struggle
with
that
balance
as
well
of
you
know.
How
fast
should
we
be
moving?
X
I
would
say
that
you
know
I
open
it
up
to
feedback
from
you
all
around
what
kind
of
timelines
you
would
like
to
see
so
that
we
can
take
that
as
a
core
team
and
a
work
group
and
be
able
to
build
a
timeline
around
that,
but
I
I
would
advocate
for
us,
as
elected
officials,
to
figure
out
how
we
are
able
to
create
space
within
our
legislative
process
for
this
process
to
be
able
to
be
done
fully
with
integrity
and
with
trust,
built
and
healing
built
into
the
process.
E
Well
stated:
are
there
other
questions
or
comments.
