Okay,
so
just
let
me
know
when
we're
ready
for
that
item,
and
we
will
return
back
to
that
so
for
now
we
will
receive
proceed
to
the
war
of
new
business,
which
is
begins
with
the
mayor's
report
on
the
state
of
our
local
health
emergency.
Addressing
the
city's
response
to
covid
19.
welcome
mayor.
G
Good
morning,
council,
president
and
members
of
the
council-
it's
good
to
be
here
with
all
of
you
today
and
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
share
this
regular
covid
related
report
and
I'll
just
dive
right
in.
We
have
had
17
emergency
regulations
to
date.
G
Rate
regulation
relating
to
time
off
due
to
covet,
19
and
or
in
our
paid
sick,
specifically
force
employees,
the
health
report
by
the
numbers.
These
are
the
statewide
statistics.
The
total
approximate
number
of
completed
tests
is
2
million,
55
888,
total
positives
are
100,
000,
100,
000
patients
no
longer
need
to
be
isolated
or
eighty
nine
thousand
2049
deaths.
The
deaths
among
long
care
and
assisted
living
facilities
are
at
one
thousand
four
hundred
six.
G
Still
a
substantial
portion
of
the
total
number
of
deaths.
Hennepin
county
positive
cases
are
27
873
with
937
deaths.
The
number
of
health
care
workers
is
ten
thousand
five
hundred
five.
There
have
been
seven
thousand
seven
hundred
fifty
eight
people
hospitalized
with
total
cases
hospitalized
in
icu
at
two
thousand
one
hundred
forty
eight
for
minneapolis
case
information.
We
are
up
at
10,
868,
total
positive
cases
with
10
110,
recovered
and
245
deceased.
G
I
want
to
flip
to
the
next
slide
there.
If
there
are
any
questions
about
that,
we
certainly
can
have
our
health
department
answer,
but
I'm
not
going
to
get
into
it
in
depth,
but
the
the
rates
have
increased
significantly
in
both
the
city
and
the
state.
Over
the
past
couple
of
weeks,
the
total
number
of
cases
increased
by
five
percent.
Over
the
previous
week,
however,
there
has
not
been
a
similar
increase
in
hospitalizations
and
icu
admissions
hospitalizations
increased
by
three
percent
and
icu
administ
admissions
increased
by
one
percent.
G
The
average
daily
number
of
cases
increased
by
20
cases
per
day
compared
to
the
previous
two
weeks,
and
as
of
september
22nd,
the
state
is
at
17.2
cases
per
100
thousand
in
minneapolis
is
at
17.4
cases
per
100
000.
I'll
I'll.
Just
note
that
this
particular
formula,
this
number
of
cases
per
1000
is
one
that
we've
been
following
for
quite
some
time.
G
This
is
substantially
up
over
the
last
month
and
a
half
or
so
so
these
numbers
put
both
minnesota
and
minneapolis
in,
what's
called
the
orange
category,
which
represents
a
a
more
accelerated
spread
of
covet
19
and
as
for
businesses,
inspectors
conducted
a
business
inspections.
Inspectors
conducted
a
bar
sweep
of
18
bars
on
september
25th
and
completed
two
follow-up
visits
on
september
26
to
ensure
the
violations
were
addressed,
the
sweep
was
conducted
in
response
to
increasing
covet
19
cases
among
young
adults,
and
we
are
continuing
to
see
that
increase.
Among
that
demographic.
G
Moving
on
to
case
investigations
and
contact
tracing
mhd
is
conducting
over
50
case
investigations
and
contact
follow-ups
per
day
for
individuals
diagnosed
with
covet
19,
and
currently
there
are
22
investigators,
including
six
non-mhd
enterprise
staff
of
the
10
000
plus
cases
in
minneapolis.
26
of
interviews
of
minneapolis
residents
are
in
a
language
other
than
english.
G
Moving
on
to
community
testing
and
flu
shots
on
saturday
september,
26
90
people
were
tested
at
the
islamic
center.
The
abu
bakr
islamic
center
in
south
minneapolis
and
99
people
were
tested
at
hennepin
avenue,
united
methodist
church
on
tuesday
september
29th.
We
had
us
about
223
covet
19
tests
and
221
flu
shots.
Those
were
given
over
east
side,
neighborhood
services
and
then
going
forward
in
2020
and
2021.
G
G
Moving
on
to
ppe
mhd
continues
to
distribute
ppe,
including
n95,
surgical
and
cloth
mask
as
well
as
hand
sanitizer
to
a
number
of
different
community
requesters.
This
past
week,
staff
distributed
3280
masks
and
226
bottles
of
hand.
Sanitizer.
G
There
were
fewer
requests
compared
to
previous
weeks,
which
may
reflect
a
stabilizing
supply
chain
through
these
products.
Although
partners
continue
to
engage
in
communities,
distribution
recipients
include
small
businesses,
religious
organizations
and
other
community
sites,
such
as
the
y
on
lake
street,
which
hosts
a
weekly
food
shelf
and
hygiene
product
distribution.
G
Moving
on
to
procurement,
as
of
september
30th
2020,
there
has
been
5
million
575
459
spent.
The
total
increase
of
50
000
can
be
attributed
to
contracts
with
community
organizations
through
the
health
department
for
covet
19
testing
support
and
again
this
is
not
at
all
the
total
covid
related
spend
that
is
estimated
much
higher
in
the
the
tens
and
even
more
of
millions.
G
If
there
are
any
questions
there,
so
the
next
topic
is
is
public
safety.
I'm
gonna
skim
through
this.
Briefly,
as
it's
not
part
of
the
covet
19
as
part
of
the
covet
19
general
report,
violent
crime
is,
is
up
about
18.8
percent.
Here
to
date,
property
crimes
are
up,
2.8
year-to-date
year-to-date
still
has
the
highest
shooting
victim
total
in
the
last
five
years.
G
Moving
down
to
the
office
of
violence
prevention,
all
four
outreach
teams
for
minneapolis
violence
and
eruption
initiative
have
started
working,
we've
started
in
south
and
north
minneapolis
and
they're
working
tuesday
sunday
and
then
gvi
continues
to
their
work
in
growing
capacity
over
on
the
south
side,.
H
Thank
you,
council.
President
mayor,
I
was
trying
to
jump
in
before
we
got
to
public
safety,
so
I'm
going
to
take
us
back
to
covid.
I
know
you're
getting
the
same
questions
that
I
am
and
and
we've
seen,
I
think,
sort
of
contradictory
messages
around
both.
H
Obviously,
restaurant
owners
asking
for
regulations
to
be
loosened
and,
at
the
same
time,
workers
even
organizing
unions
at
times
to
demand
safer
working
conditions
under
the
current
regulations
because
they
don't
feel
adequately
protected
and
so
we're
hearing
the
whole
gamut
of
frustration
with
the
pandemic.
And
I
I
wonder
if
you
could
talk
a
little
bit
about
how
that's
influencing
your
thinking
on
the
regulatory
landscape
and
if
you're,
considering
any
changes
or
given
the
data
that
we
are
seeing
an
increase
in
cases
per
hundred
thousand.
H
G
Thank
you,
council,
member
fletcher.
As
for
a
regulatory
perspective
of
some
of
our
our
bars
and
restaurants,
which
I
believe
is
predominantly
what
you're
referencing
right
now
we
are,
I
don't
think
I
don't
know
if
staying
the
course
is
the
right
term,
we're
listening
to
the
experts,
I
do
not
anticipate
dropping
below
what
the
state
requirements
are.
In
fact,
we
can't
drop
below
what
the
state
requirements
are,
as
those
are
a
baseline.
E
G
Rather,
I've
seen
numerous
bars,
adjust
and
adapt
by
literally
pushing
tables
up
to
the
bars
and
that's
acceptable.
So
you
know
so
long
as
you
don't
have
large
numbers
of
people
congregating
around
the
bar
itself
to
to
get
drink,
then
that
is
what
can
help
us
to
inhibit
the
spread
of
covet
19..
G
So
certainly,
as
we
see
numbers
shift
downward,
we
can
look
at
adjusting
the
regulations,
but
as
of
right
now,
the
number
of
cases
per
100
000
has
actually
gone
up
in
the
last
month
and,
as
we've
seen,
much
of
the
spread
is
in
is
in
in
and
from
our
younger
populations
and
many
many
of
the
hot
spots.
In
fact,
a
very
large
percentage
of
the
hot
spots
around
the
state,
not
necessarily
in
minneapolis
around
the
state
of
minnesota,
continue
to
be
bars,
so
councilmember
fletcher,
if
you're
referring
to
bars.
G
H
That
answered
my
question
for
now.
I
just
wanted
to
get
a
general
sense
of
how
you're
approaching
the
question
and
because
I've
been
getting
a
lot
of
questions
about
it,
and
I
think
you
answered
it.
Thank
you.
D
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
thank
you
mayor
fry.
I
just
wanted
to
offer
my
condolences
to
the
loved
ones
and
families
of
the
245,
many
politicians
who
have
lost
their
lives
to
the
coronavirus.
D
You
know
our
numbers
are,
you
know,
really
continuously
moving
up
in
the
city
and
in
the
state
and
just
recognizing
and
continuing
to
emphasize
the
importance
of
protecting
yourself
and
protecting
others
by
wearing
masks
so
yeah.
I
wanted
to
wanted
to
just
offer
those
condolences
to
the
families
and
loved
ones
of
of
those
who
have
been
deceased.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
council.
Vice
president,
I
put
myself
in
cue.
I
actually
have
a
question,
especially
given
that
chronovirus
cases
are
on
the
rise.
How
much
of
the
cares
act,
funds
that
have
been
allocated
to
minneapolis
is
left
and
then
my
understanding
is
those
funds
need
to
be
spent
by
the
end
of
the
year.
A
G
Thank
you,
madam
president,
I
don't
have
the
exact
figure,
the
most
up-to-date
figure
in
front
of
me
right
now,
but
I,
if
I
could
direct
that
question
to
mr
ruff
and
or
director
gretchen
moose
camp.
I
Mr
mayor
council,
president
bender
member
of
the
city
council,
this
is
mark
ruff,
the
city
coordinator.
I
I
do
not
have
those
exact
numbers
in
front
of
me
either.
I
can
tell
you
that,
generally
the
city
there
are
several
sources
of
cares
funding.
When
you
talk
about
the
cares
act,
we
have,
for
example,
had
money
come
to
our
cped
department.
I
That
is,
cares
money,
specific
for
homelessness
response.
That
is
more
than
10
million
dollars
and
as
the
council
is
aware,
we
have
deployed
that
for
various
activities
specifically
related
to
some
shelters
and
also
additional
staff
support.
I
The
money
you
are
assuming
referring
to
council
president
is
the
32
million
dollars
in
allocation
that
the
city
received
from
the
state
of
minnesota,
and
you
know
all
direct
requests
that
have
been
made
from
the
health
department
for
services
that
relate
to
contact
tracing
to
ppe,
from
personal
protective
equipment
to
our
efforts
around
community
engagement
and
testing
efforts
have
been
funded
with
that
money.
I
I
We
have
not
brought
a
request
for
council
action
to
date
on
this
item
in
part,
because
congress
has
been
talking
about
for
a
number
of
months.
A
supplemental
essentially
cares
act,
funding
that
would
both
extend
the
deadline
for
when
that
money
has
to
be
expended
right
now,
commitments
have
to
occur
in
november
and
expenditures.
A
I
Again,
we
have,
we
will
spend
all
of
the
eligible
costs.
If
you're
asking
for
a
direct
like
line
item,
what
have
we
spent
then
we
certainly
will
provide
that
to
council.
We
actually
just
had
a
conversation
this
morning
about
refining
those
numbers.
Some
of
those
numbers
are
related
to
the
amended
2020
budget.
So
I
think
it's
better
council
president,
if,
if
we
come
back
to
you
with
a
more
specific
set
of
numbers
and
a
report
and
be
happy
to
do
that,.
A
Clearly
needed
it's
october,
and
so
I
think
you
know,
as
policymakers,
we're
hearing
a
lot
about
how
strained
and
stressed
our
staff
are,
how
limited
capacity
is
to
work
on
various
priorities.
And
so
I
do
think
it's
really
important
to
engage
the
city
council
in
this
discussion
about
how
to
allocate
32
million
dollars
of
federal
money
that
needs
to
be
spent
by
december,
especially
in
light
of
all
the
messages
that
we
are
hearing
from
staff
across
the
enterprise
about
capacity
issues.
G
Moving
on
to
fire
the
fire
prevention
week,
this
year
is
october
4th
through
10th.
The
mfd
will
not
be
hosting
an
award
ceremony
this
year
due
to
the
pandemic,
and
I
I
do
just
want
to
thank
our
chief
freedle
for
all
of
the
work
that
he
has
been
doing
throughout
for
state
and
federal
activity.
G
The
legislature
has
not
taken
any
official
action
since
the
conclusion
of
the
fourth
special
session,
which
was
two
weeks
ago.
Last
week,
the
minnesota
house
convened
a
new
bipartisan
select
committee
on
racial
justice,
and
the
committee
was
created
in
follow-up
to
the
house
passing
a
resolution
declaring
racism
as
a
public
health
crisis.
G
The
senate
rules
committee
met
yesterday
to
get
a
briefing
of
the
state's
covet-related
expenses.
As
for
a
federal
update,
negotiations
between
the
house
and
senate
and
white
house
continue
around
a
fourth
coveted
stimulus
and
in
good
news,
speaker,
pelosi
and
treasury
secretary
have
been
speaking
and
late
monday
evening.
The
house
released
an
updated
heroes
bill
which
includes
179
billion
for
direct
local
aid.
G
As
for
gap
off
the
gap,
funding
package,
community
prevention
partners,
minneapolis
public
housing
authority
and
city
staff
continue
to
work
through
the
list
to
complete
the
full
verification
and
approval
process
for
each
applicant
and
as
of
wednesday
september
30th
1193
applications
have
been
approved,
totaling,
one
million,
eight
hundred
twenty
five
thousand
two
hundred
fifty
eight
dollars
and
ninety
six
cents
in
emergency
assistance
payments
and
then,
finally,
as
for
the
forgivable
loan
program,
the
small
business
as
I've
mentioned
in
previous
reports,
the
small
business
forgivable
loans
have
been
fully
awarded.
A
F
E
A
That
carries,
and
that
matter
is
referred
to
pogo,
we'll
look
forward
to
that
information
next
cycle,
and
I
will
then
also
direct
the
clerk
to
receive
and
file
the
mayor's
report.
That
concludes
this
item.
A
I
hate
to
keep
doing
this.
I
I
will
just
check
to
see
if
our
guests
are
here.
I
don't
want
to
believe
this.
A
B
Madam
president,
my
apologies.
We
were
unable
to
accommodate
the
senator
who
the
technical
challenges
were
an
issue,
so
I
believe
that
council,
vice
president
jenkins,
is
prepared
to
read
that
resolution
of
the
proper
order
of
the
rest
of
the
agenda
and
the
formal
resolution
be
presented
to
senator
hayden
at
a
community-based
event
to
recognize
his
service.
A
F
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I'm
just
pulling
up
that
report.
The
business
inspections,
housing
and
zoning
committee
has
a
number
of
items
moving
forward
for
approval
this
morning.
Item
number
one
is
an

sale.
Liquor

lindale

south
item

Congratulations

work
for

residents
of

city
of

the
the
state
of

and
and
even
more
specifically,
the
bryant
neighborhood.
We
love
you
and
we
look
forward
to
supporting
your
leadership
in
many
many
years
to
come,
and
I
want
to
offer
you
an
opportunity
to
share
some
remarks.
J
It's
it's.
I
certainly
didn't
think
that
would
be
emotional.
This
morning.
I
just
want
to
say
things
that
I
think
about
20
years
ago
or
even
longer
than
that,
but
when
I
walked
into
the
halls
of
city
council,
didn't
really
know
much
about
how
city
council
worked
or
how
government
worked.
I
knew
my
community.
I
knew
the
work
that
we
had
done
prior
to
that
and
how
we
wanted
to
figure
out
how
to
make
our
community
better.
J
I
knew
that
this
is
a
community
that
my
mother
grew
up
in
and
my
grandfather
willard
john
miro
bought
a
house
in
1918
right
next
to
the
freeway
there,
and
I
knew
that
there
were
a
lot
of
things
that
happened
in
our
community.
J
It
was
a
robust
and
rich
community,
but
there
were
things
that
happened
to
our
community,
especially
the
black
community,
that
we
didn't
know
why,
like
why
35w
went
the
route
it
went
and
destroyed
the
equity
of
my
grandfather's
house
or
why
things
weren't
happening
the
way
that
they
were
supposed
to,
and
so,
when
gary
asked
me
to
help
him
on
his
campaign
and
subsequently
come
down
to
city
hall.
J
I
didn't
know
it
would
launch
me
into
this
career
of
policy
and
politics
and
figuring
out
how
to
make
things
better
for
our
community
and
and
and
so
I'm,
I'm
I'm
really
grateful
and
I
think,
looking
at
you
guys
at
minneapolis
city
council.
This
is
where
I
really
learned
that
I
think
of
councilmember,
goodman
and
and
others
that
took
me
under
her
wing
and
taught
me
how
this
idea
of
development
and
and
zoning
and
planning
and
what
we
should
do
and
and
how
that
can
transform
people's
lives.
J
If
we
do
it
the
right
way.
So
with
that
being
said,
all
of
listening
to
all
of
those
things
I
kind
of
forgot
about
half
of
those,
because
you
just
kind
of
every
day
pick
up
grab
your
lunch
pill
and
if
you
will
and
go
and
do
your
work,
but
I'm
proud
of
those
accomplishments,
there's
many
more
to
come.
J
I'm
still
relatively
young,
you
know,
depending
on
who
you
talk
to
have
a
lot
more
to
do,
but
I
guess
I'll
just
say
this
without
if
I
can
get
through
it,
is
that
the
work
that
you
guys
do
at
the
minneapolis
city
council
is
so
important,
and
I
know
that
you've
been
through
a
patch
here,
but
hold
your
head
up
high
you're
gonna
get
through
it,
we're
all
gonna
get
through
it.
I'm
gonna
be
there
with
you
in
different
capacities,
I'm
not
going
anywhere.
J
If
you
will
I'm
so
proud
to
have
worked,
I
didn't
get
a
chance
to
recognize
gene
last
week
or
two
weeks
ago,
working
with
your
igr
folks
and
all
of
the
mayors
that
I
served
with
all
of
the
council
members.
I
think
you
guys
always
know
that,
no
matter
what
you
might
come
to
office
and
we
might
disagree-
but
I
was
gonna-
have
the
city's
back,
because
it's
where
I'm
from
it's,
where
I
grew
up,
it's
where
my
people
are
from
and
I'm
always
going
to
be
there
for
you.
So.
E
J
Again,
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you,
council,
president
bender
council
vice
president
jenkins
and
all
that
are
on
the
call
today
and
all
the
council
members,
the
most
honorable
thing
that
I've
ever
done
is
to
serve
my
community
and
it
started
out
in
this
body
right
here.
So
once
again,
thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
I
really
appreciate
it
and-
and
I'm
really
really
humbled
and
forever
in
your
gratitude,
for
you
to
recognize
me
publicly
for
the
work
that
I've
you
know
been
able
to
accomplish.
D
Thank
you.
Thank
you
so
much
for
those
comments.
Senator
and
I
will
now
turn
it
back
over
to
council.
President
bender
may
just
one
one
more
announcement.
Council
president.
I
I
do
want
to
just
note
that
on
october
10th
there
will
be
a
community
celebration
recognizing
senator
hayden
at
subantheny
community
center
from
one
to
three,
and
I
invite
all
my
colleagues
and
any
of
the
listening
public
that
may
want
to
attend
this
socially
distant
event
in
outdoors
at
some
anthony

Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
council.
Vice
president.
I
know
we
also
have
on
the
line
here
just
to
listen
and
support
the
former
council.
Vice
president
elizabeth
glidden,
another
member
of
the
all-star
team,
along
with
the
two
of
you
from
ward
eight
in
the
senate
district,
and
I
think
mr
vernier
is
on
the
line
and
and
wanted
to
offer
some
reflections
as.
A
A
I
see
mr
ranieri's
screen
highlighted
mr
rainier.
I
think
you
may
be.
E
A
E
E
A
A
When
we
met,
I
was
pregnant
with
my
little
one,
and
I
was
just
a
crazy
kid
running
for
city
council,
and
you
were
one
of
the
people
who
sat
with
me
and
talked
about
minneapolis
and
history
and
how
we
got
here,
and
your
family's
story
is
one
of
the
really
critical
stories
of
minneapolis
that
we're
all
working
so
hard
to
you
know
forge
forward
and
to
do
better
by
our
communities
and
so
that
leadership
that
you've
brought
as
such
an
able,
policymaker
and
politician
and
leader,
I
know,
is
rooted
in
that
story
and
in
that
history,
and
so
thank
you
for
sharing
all
of
that
with
all
of
us
and
being
such
an
important
mentor
to
many
of
us.
A
So
I
will
thank
you
again
all
of
you
for
being
here
it's
harder
to
see
in
the
virtual
environment,
but
thanks
to
our
guests,
who
are
here
to
honor
the
senator-
and
I
know
we'll
look
forward
to
the
community
event
with
that.
I
will
move
this
resolution
forward
and
ask
the
clerk
to
please
call
the
role.
E
B
E
B
A
A
C
Thank
you.
Madam
president.
The
public,
safe
public

safety

The

Item

is

the
city
university
of
new

behalf

jay
college

related

our
group
violence

item

is

navigator
positions
and
item
number.
Seven
is
approving
an
engagement
plan
outline
and
deliverables
related
to
the
transforming
community
safety
work.
A
I
put
myself
in
queue
to
just
comment
briefly
on
the
last
item.
I
just
want
to
really
thank
all
of
the
staff
who've
contributed
to
this
timeline
for
community
engagement
and
decision
making
around
our
resolution
from
june
12th
to
transform
community
safety
in
minneapolis,
of
course,
building
off
of
years
of
work
from
the
911
mpd
working
group,
the
staff
in
the
health
department
and
many
across
the
enterprise
who
have
been
building
up
the
systems
of
violence
prevention.
A
A
It
is
clear
after
these
months
that
having
a
large
number
of
staff
work
on
this
effort
with
a
small
amount
of
their
time
on
top
of
their
other
responsibilities,
is,
is
causing
frustration
and
delay,
and
so
I
think
we
have
made
a
lot
of
progress
over
the
past
few
weeks
toward
getting
some
very
clear,
dedicated
staff
time
focused
on
this
initiative
and
now
that
the
committee,
and
hopefully
the
council,
have
approved
this
more
clear
timeline
initiated
and
developed
by
the
office
of
violence
prevention.
A
So
I'm
very
hopeful
that
one
of
the
many
options
we
have
come
up
with
in
the
past
several
weeks
will
come
to
fruition.
I'm
very
hopeful
that
of
the
effort
that
myself
and
councilmember,
cunningham
and
others
have
put
into
coordinating
with
the
mayor's
office
and
to
working
with
the
department
heads
will
will
help
us
really.
A
I
think
it's
clear
that
the
council
and
the
public,
you
know,
really
expect
and
need
us
to
to
do
so
so
again,
just
speaking
back
to
the
need
for
this
work
to
be
staffed
and
for
the
staff
who
are
taking
their
time
to
do.
This
are
adequately
supported
so
with
that
I'll
turn
it
over
to
council
member
cunningham
and
then
fletcher
the
chair
and
vice
chair
of
the
public
safety
committee.
A
Thanks
to
both
of
you
for
all
of
the
work
that
you
have
put
in
over
the
last
months
to
to
get
us
to
where
we
are
councilmember,
cunningham.
C
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
thank
you
for
your
participation
in
in
getting
this
work
adequately
staffed
and
moving.
I
actually
had
discussed
at
committee
that
I
would
be
bringing
forward
a
staff
correction
today
if
a
solution
as
to
how
to
fully
staff
the
the
work
that
is
being
taken
action
on
now
here
had
not
been
identified
by
today.
C
I
am
happy
to
share
that.
We
have
made
significant
progress
in
building
an
internal
staffing
infrastructure
to
carry
out
this
transforming
community
safety
work.
To
institutionalize
this
structure,
we
will
be
bringing
forward
an
organizational
chart
for
action
through
the
public
health
and
safety
committee.
This
upcoming
cycle.
C
C
There
has
been
a
lot
of
barriers
for
us
to
move
through
to
get
to
this
point
of
addressing
the
staffing
needs
for
this
work.
So
I
do
want
to
thank
the
staff
who
think
those
who
have
made
the
commitment
to
dedicate
staff
time
to
this
work,
because
this
work,
our
residents
of
our
city,
have
demanded
that
we
as
the
city
of
minneapolis
prioritize
this.
C
We
have
a
little
more
work
that
needs
to
be
done
before
we're
fully
there,
but
the
puzzle
has
almost
been
put
together,
given
that
the
lines
of
our
lines
of
work
are
aligned
in
many
ways
and
share
outcome
and
share
outcomes,
we
can
really
only
move
forward
to
solutions
in
partnership
with
the
mayor
and
city
coordinator.
So
I
look
forward
to
getting
this
staffing
solution
over
the
finish
line,
so
we
can
get
the
real
work
underway
sustainably.
C
In
addition
to
what's
what
I
will
be
bringing
forward,
there
will
also
be
a
financial
related
resolution
included
in
as
a
package
council
member
fletcher,
who
is
the
author
of
this
financial
resolution,
can
speak
more
to
that
item.
Thank
you,
madam
president.
H
Thank
you,
council,
president
and
first
I
just
want
to
really
sort
of
restate
the
very
positive
feedback
that
we
had
in
committee
to
director
cotton's
presentation.
I
think
that
their
there
is
now
a
direction
and
a
road
map
for
this
community
engagement.
We
certainly
heard
and
continue
to
hear
negative
feedback
about
how
long
it's
taken
and
there's
been
frustration
about
this
feeling
stuck
but
also
positive
feedback
about
the
direction
that
we're
starting
to
go.
H
So
I
want
to
express
that
enthusiasm
and
and
recognize
that
the
work
is
you
know
starting
to
take
off,
and
you
know
one
of
my
constituents
asked
what
I
think
was
probably
just
the
most
basic
question
at
a
community
meeting
this
week
that
really
felt
like
it
framed
the
the
problem.
Exactly
as
it
is,
which
is
said,
you
know
I'm
working
with
a
group
of
people
and
we
want
to
plug
into
this.
H
Who
do
we
call
and
the
truth
is
there
is
not
a
person
today
that
we
call
and
we're
trying
to
solve
that
problem
of
who
owns
this?
Who
is
the
person
who
would
respond
to
an
email
or
a
phone
call
about
how
to
participate
in
this
community
engagement
process,
and
we
desperately
need
that?
H
We've
needed
it
for
a
while,
and
I'm
really
hopeful
that
we're
going
to
get
there,
and
I
want
to
just
really
express
gratitude
for
council
president
bender
and
councilmember
cunningham's
work
towards
that
I'll
I'll,
say:
there's
been
a
lot
of
movement
and
that
movement
has
happened
because
of
some.
H
You
know
really
relentless
pushing
on
this
question
and
proposing
solutions
and
bringing
things
forward,
and
you
know
really
pushing
the
issue,
and
I
think
it's
important
just
that
everybody
here
publicly
both
how
much
work
they're
putting
in
and
how
much
support
this
council
has
for
that
work
that
we
really
are
behind
the
effort
to
make
sure
that
this
gets
staffed
and
supported.
People
need
to
see
this
engagement
happening.
It
is
overdue.
H
Towards
that
end.
In
my
finance
subcommittee
role,
I
am
trying
to
predict
the
next
level
of
bureaucratic
hang-ups
that
we're
gonna
run
into,
as
we
now
have
a
roadmap
and
where
we
have
a
staffing
plan,
I
wanna
make
sure
that
we
don't
now
get
hung
up
in
long
procurement
processes
and
and
and
so
on.
So
I
worked
with
our
city
coordinator
to
craft
a
resolution
and
I'll
say
I
would
have
brought
it
forward
today.
If
I
thought
it
would
have
saved
even
a
day
in
the
process.
H
What
I'm
hearing
from
stakeholders
is
that
they
can
move
forward
with
the
work,
that's
in
front
of
them
over
the
next
14
days
without
this
resolution.
So
we
have
time
to
bring
it
through
with
a
proper
rca
and
go
through
the
committee
process,
but
I
would
absolutely
rush
it
through
to
signal
the
urgency
of
the
work.
H
If
I
thought
it
would
expedite
this
process
at
all,
but
wanted
to
let
everybody
know
that
having
consulted
with
staff,
it
feels
like
this
can
wait
for
next
cycle
and
you
can
look
forward
to
a
resolution
that
just
clears
some
of
the
hurdles
and
sort
of
pre-authorizes.
Some
of
the
spending
that
they're
contemplating
so
that
they
feel
empowered
to
make
those
moves
and
put
this
plan
immediately
into
action
so
that
we
can
get
caught
up
with
a
process
that
I
think
most
people
expected
would
already
be
well
underway.
A
A
A
You
know
the
work
of
the
specific
things
related
to
38th
and
chicago,
so
every
single
aspect
of
our
city
has
been
touched
by
by
george's
death
by
the
outcrying
and
demand
for
change,
and
so
we
are,
I
think,
in
a
place
where
we
can
move
forward
in
a
more
structured
way
to
help
our
city
grapple
with
this.
And
I
know
that
each
of
you,
as
council
members,
has
been
doing
a
huge
amount
of
lifting
of
hosting
conversations
of
answering
questions
of
bringing
neighbors
together.

Madam
president,
I

13
items.
E
E
E
G
E
A
That
carries
and
that
report
is
adopted.
I
do
want
to
note
that
we
had
a
presentation
at
the
transportation
and
public
works
committee
for
receive
and
file
about
the
work
happening
at
38th
and
chicago
in
follow-up
conversations
with
staff.
It
sounds
like
decisions
about
how
to
proceed
for
the
interim
winter,
solutions
will
be
made
by
staff
under
direction
from
mayor,
frye
and
council.
Vice
president
jenkins
and
councilmember
kano,
who
represent
the
area
and
that
further
council
action
is
not
anticipated
before
those
decisions
are
made.
A
So
please
feel
free
to
get
in
touch
with
me
or,
of
course,
the
two
council
members
with
questions
or
any
feedback
about
that.
With
that
we
have
completed
the
committee
reports.
The
next
item
is
notice
of
ordnance
introductions.
Council
member
fletcher
gives
notice
of
intent
to
introduce
at
the
next
regular
meeting
the
subject
matter
of
an
ordinance
related
to
surveillance
and
adding
a
new
article
about
facial
recognition
technology.
A
Next,
we
have
the
introduction
and
referral
calendar
first
pursuant
to
notice
council
members,
schrader
gordon
and
reich
move
to
introduce
gift
first
reading
two
and
refer
to
the
business
inspections,
housing
and
zoning
committee.
The
subject
matter
of
an
ordinance
amending
the
zoning
code
related
to
the
implementation
of
built
form
policies
pursuant
to
the
minneapolis
2040
comprehensive
plan,
which
addresses
several
chapters
that
are
highlighted
on
the
agenda,
as
well
as
a
companion
ordinance
addressing
the
same
subject
in
the
land
subdivision
code.
A
Second,
pursuant
to
notice
council
members,
schrader,
gordon
and
reich
move
to
introduce,
give
first
reading
to
and
refer
to,
the
business
inspections,
housing
and
zoning
committee.
The
subject
matter
of
an
ordinance
related
to
the
mississippi
river
corridor
critical
plan
area
with
several
chapters
involved
as
a
as
reflected
on
the
agenda,
as
well
as
a
companion
ordinance
addressing
the
same
subject
in
the
land
subdivision
code.
H
Thank
you,
council
president.
I
was
trying
to
get
it
on
the
notice
on
facial
recognition,
so
jumping
back
an
agenda
item,
but
I
just
wanted
to
signal
just
just
kind
of
let
everybody
know.
This
is
not
actually
a
new
topic
introduction
as
much
as
just
signaling
that
I
think
the
strategic
decision
as
we're
developing
this
ordinance
is
to
separate
out
facial
recognition
from
the
rest
of
the
surveillance
technology
work,
and
so
we
wanted
to
create
a
separate
lens
file
and
sort
of
a
separate
trackable
process
for
this.
H
A
E
A
E
E
E
C
E
E
A
A
We
previously
took
up
the
resolution
item,
so
that
brings
us
to
the
order
of
announcements
here
at
the
end
of
our
agenda
agenda.
Are
there
any
announcements
from
council.
A
L
Thank
you.
Madam
president.
I
just
wanted
to
go
over
a
few
rel
election
related
things.
So
yesterday
was
the
10th
day
of
early
voting
for
the
presidential
election
and
by
the
end
of
the
day,
our
elections
team
had
collected
a
total
of
27
762
completed
absentee
ballots,
which
is
definitely
going
to
put
us
on
track
for
setting
yet
another
record
for
turnout,
and
so
I'm
excited
by
this
level
of
participation,
and
I
want
to
share
that.
Our
elections
team
is
finalizing
plans
today
to
further
expand
battle
access
in
the
coming
weeks.
L
So
our
clerk
has
noted
that
that
a
new
website
has
been
launched
that
is
designed
for
voters
to
that
is
designed
with
voters
in
mind.
That
site
shows
that
minneapolis
voters
can
participate
in
early
voting
at
our
elections
headquarters
located
at
980,
east
hennepin
avenue,
I've
seen
pictures
a
lot
of
folks
are
are
going
there
and
voting
early
as
well
as
the
hennepin
county
government
complex.
L
We
also
look
forward
to
opening
two
additional
early
voting
centers
on
october
27th,
one
on
the
north
side,
one
on
the
south
side,
so
the
urban
league
on
plymouth
avenue
is
going
to
be
the
the
site
for
the
north
side.
Early
voting
center
and
longfellow
park.
Recreation
center
is
going
to
be
the
site
on
on
the
south
side
and
again
those
facilities
will
be
open
on
october
27th
and
a
few
more
things
I
wanted
to
go
over.
L
I
wanted
to
also
note
that
we've
heard
from
a
lot
of
folks
out
in
the
community
that
they're
looking
for
even
they're
looking
for
us
to
do
even
more
about
ensuring
safe
and
secure
ballot
access.
So
in
order
to
meet
that
demand,
I'm
pleased
to
share
that
our
elections
team
is
working
to
expand
access
even
more
by
opening
several
ballot
drop-off
sites
across
the
city.
L
The
grant
that
we
got
approved
with
the
center
for
tech
and
civic
life
will
fund
the
operation
of
up
to
10,
fully
staffed
drop-off
sites
where
voters
will
be
able
to
safely
and
securely
drop
off
their
mail
ballots
for
election
work,
yeah
for
two
election
workers,
and
so
they
can
drop
it
off
with
us
and
and
be
reassured
that
their
that
their
vote
will
be
counted
so
more
specifics
on
locations
and
dates,
and
times
of
those
operations
are
going
to
be
coming
hopefully
next
week.
L
So
with
that,
just
we've
got
one
month
until
about
one
month
until
election
day
on
november.
Third,
so
wanted
to
be
sure
that
our
elections
team
is
one
folks
to
be
sure
that
our
election
team
is
working
hard
to
ensure
that
every
eligible
voter
has
free
fare
and
equitable
access
to
the
ballot
box,
and
that
we,
the
city,
are
doing
everything
we
can
to
make
that
access
as
easy
and
convenient
as
possible
for
folks.
L
So
that's
all
I've
got
and
hopefully
folks
are
getting
out
there
and
casting
their
votes.
So
thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
ellison,
typically
the
chair
of
our
elections
committee,
which
is
no
longer
an
official
committee
of
the
council.
But
still
are
you
know
the
leader
in
the
council
on
on
this
issue
and
I'll
echo,
my
thanks
to
all
the
staff
in
the
clerk's
office,
the
elections
team
that
is
working
under
such
extraordinary
circumstances
to
make
sure
that
every
every
voice
is
heard
in
the
selection.
A
Our
website
is
vote.minneapolismn.gov
and
that's
where
you
can
find
all
of
the
information
that
council
member
ellison
shared
with
updates
about
where
to
go,
to
drop
off
your
ballot.
How
to
get
answers
to
any
questions
that
people
have
about
voting
this
year,
don't
hesitate
to
find
answers
to
those
questions.
I
know
that
we're
all
eager
to
make
sure
that
everyone
has
the
full
information
that
they
need
thanks
again,
council
vice
president
jenkins.
D
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
just
wanted
to
announce
and
encourage
people.
First
of
all,
I
want
to
thank
councilmember
ellison
for
that
for
that
update
on
the
voting
and
and
really
encourage
people
to
get
out
an
early
vote.
However,
I
want
to
announce
that
the
the
deadline
for
completing
the
2020
census
had
been
extended
by
a
federal
judge
through
october
31st.
However,
the
current
administration
has
declared
that
the
deadline
will
be
monday
october
5th,
and
so
I'm
just
encouraging
everybody.
D
If
you
have
not
completed
your
census,
please
please,
please
complete
consensus,
so
many
community
resources
depend
on
it,
including
assistance
for
with
homelessness,
maintaining
our
parks
and
libraries
and
schools,
opportunities
for
job
training,
all
the
things
that
we
need
in
our
communities
to
continue
to
make
them
safe,
healthy
and
equitable
depends
on
us
completing
the
2020
census
doesn't
matter.
D
If
you
are
a
citizen
or
not,
we
need
everyone
to
complete
the
census,
to
bring
much
needed
resources
to
our
deeply
impacted
communities
and
that
deadline,
unfortunately,
is
october
5th.
So
please,
please,
please
get
out
and
complete
the
census.
It
takes
less
than
10
minutes.
Thank
you.
So
much.
C
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I'll
just
be
very
quick,
quick
here.
I
want
to
share
that.
There
is
going
to
be
a
peace
walk
tomorrow
in
north
minneapolis,
led
by
mothers
against
community
gun
violence,
and
it
will
be
starting
at
12
o'clock
on
saturday.
C
The
location
is
lincoln
elementary
school,
which
is
on
12th
and
penn
avenue
north
and
we
will
be
marching
to
the
north
commons
park.
So
I
wanted
to
invite
folks
to
this
event
in
in
support
of
our
community
in
response
to
gun
violence
that
we've
been
seeing.
So
here's
an
opportunity
to
stand
in
solidarity
and
support
our
community
thanks.
So
much.
