B
Good

my

is
lenny
palmisano,
I'm
the
chair
of
the
budget
committee
and
I'm
going
to
call
to
order
this
regular
committee
meeting
for

november
12th
before

I
will
note
for
the
record
that
this

has
remote
participation
by
council
members
and
city
staff
as
authorized
under
the

of

open
meeting
law,

of
local
public

I'll
ask
the

the
role
to

who
we
have

C
C
C
C
B
There
are
eight

Thank

reflect.
We

We

from
city

today
with
ncr

I
will

as
mr

queues
up
I'll

thank

So
those
two
are
then
appropriately
logged.
I
believe
city
clerk.
D
Good
morning,
chair
palmisano
and
committee
members,
I'm
david
rubidor,
I'm
the
director
of
the
neighborhood
and
community
relations
department
with
the
city
of
minneapolis,
and
as
the
chair
mentioned,
I
am
here
to
present
the
mayor's
recommended
2021
budget
for
the
ncr
department.
D
D
We
work
to
ensure
that
all
residents
have
access
to
the
decision-making
process
and
have
access
to
city
resources,
including
a
focus
on
sustainable
engagement
with
bypoc
and
under-engaged
communities.
We
work
to
provide
support
to
other
city
departments
in
their
engagement
work
and
we
also
oversee
several
community-facing
programs,
including
supporting
the
city's
70
neighborhood
organizations,
with
that.
If
we
can
change
slides
so
an
overview
of
the
department
funding
in
total,
I'm
going
to
start
with
the
pie
chart
on
the
left.
D
Basically,
the
fund
distribution
sources
of
funding
for
the
department,
the
vast
majority
of
the
department's
funds
will
continue
to
come
from
the
consolidated
tif
tax
increment
finance
district,
which
is
shown
in
gray,
as
well
as
the
remaining
funds
from
the
nrp
program
shown
in
the
golden
rug
color
in
2021..
D
We
do
get
some
additional
funds
kind
of
a
combination
of
other
sources,
some
from
the
general
fund,
but
then
cdbg
as
well.
That
will
be
on
part
of
our
budget
in
2021
as
well,
but
about
close
to
90
percent
of
our
funding
comes
from
either
consolidated
tif
or
the
nrp
program.
D
The
chart
on
the
on
the
right
shows
a
funding
program
or
the
program
distribution
of
the
funding
that
we
receive.
The
vast
majority
of
the
department's
resources
and
funding
goes
to
support
neighborhood
organizations
and
neighborhood
engagement
about
80
percent,
close
to
80
percent,
with
smaller
amounts
of
funding
to
the
coordinated
engagement
services
and
the
access
and
outreach
budget
programs.
I'm
going
to
dive
into
those
in
just
a
bit
a
little
bit
more
detail
so
next
slide.
D
So,
first
of
all,
I'm
going
through
the
programs
individually
in
the
base
cuts.
The
first
program
up
is
access
and
outreach.
Actually,
our
access
and
outreach
program
budget
program
includes
compliance
and
education
of
federally
mandated
civil
rights
and
access
programming,
such
as
our
americans
with
disability
act.
Compliance
and
awareness
work,
our
language
access
plan,
our
language,
access
work
with
translation
and
interpreting
services,
and
this
also
includes
our
newly
established
relatively
newly
established
office
of
immigrant
refugee
affairs,
which
provides
advice
to
city
leadership
and
elected
officials
on
immigration.
D
D
The
next
slide
is
probably
our
biggest
program
area.
As
far
as
staffing
goes,
this
is
called
coordinated
engagement
services
and
what
this
does
is
brings
together
our
community
specialists
and
other
department
staff
to
work
together
to
build
authentic
engagement
and
sustainable
relationships
with
many
of
our
residents,
including
bipac
and
underengaged
communities
in
the
city.
D
This
is
also
where
we
provide
a
lot
of
support
to
other
city
departments
in
the
enterprise,
so
this
includes
work
like
the
one
minneapolis
fund,
the
appointed
boards
and
commissions,
diversifying
our
appointed
boards
and
commissions.
The
american
indian
community,
mou
memorandum
of
understanding
is
where
our
work
with
the
communications
department,
with
the
radio
shows
in
multiple
languages.
D
Our
community
community
connections
conference
is
also
located
in
this
in
this
in
this
program.
I
do
want
to
note
2020
just
to
give
you
some
examples
of
the
impact
of
this
kind
of
work.
Much
of
our
work
in
2020
has
focused
in
on
supporting
the
health
department
on
the
cobid
response,
which
that
was
a
past
tense,
but
it's
not
it's
that
work
is
continuing
and
has
been
all
year.
D
It
also
has
included
engaging
the
community
in
regards
to
the
civil
unrest,
as
well
as
the
killing
of
george
floyd
and
partnering,
with
the
elections
department
to
build
a
strong
and
diverse
voter
engagement
and
turnout
in
the
midst
of
the
global
pandemic.
Our
census
work
also
2020,
since
his
work
also
fell
into
this
category.
D
Our
last
program
area,
which
is
our
largest
by
funding
size,
is
our
neighborhood
engagement
support.
As
I
mentioned,
about
80
of
the
department's
resources.
Funding
resources
goes
to
support
this
work.
This
is
where
we
have
our
neighborhood
specialists
that
provide
support
to
our
neighborhood
organizations.
D
Administering
this,
the
current
community
participation
program
also
the
neighborhood
revitalization
program,
as
well
as
now,
the
development
of
the
neighborhoods
2020
program,
the
funding
for
the
community
participation
program
and
also
now
the
new
neighborhoods
2020
work
is
included
in
here,
and
the
neighborhood
revitalization
program
is
included
in
here
as
well.
D
D
I
will,
at
the
end
of
the
presentation,
get
into
some
questions
regarding
neighborhoods,
2020
and
questions
regarding
our
budget
coming
up
in
that
area.
Regarding
new
investments,
if
we
jump
to
the
next
slide,
we
do
have
a
new
investment
being
proposed.
It's
aging
support
services,
the
mayor
mayor's,
proposing
and
recommending
that
the
this
budget
item,
which
has
been
going
on
on
a
one-time
basis
for
many
years,
that
this
become
ongoing
funding
at
the
same
level
as
in
2020,
which
is
140
000.
D
This
money
goes
to
thing
to
four
primary
organizations.
Long
fellow
seward,
healthy,
seniors,
nicole,
must
healthy
seniors,
southeast
seniors
and
senior
community
services,
and
it's
really
its
intent
is
to
really
help
seniors
stay
in
their
homes
and
stay
in
the
city.
D
It
helps
provide
in
services
such
as
nursing
fall
prevention,
medication,
assistance,
access
to
basic
needs
such
as
food
and
medication,
arranging
medical
appointments
rides,
it
does
provides
charge
services
as
well
as
minor
home
repairs.
It's
really
a
comprehensive
approach
to
trying
to
support
seniors
in
our
community
again.
The
mayor's
recommendation
for
this
new
investment
is
that
this
change
from
a
one-time
to
an
ongoing
funding
setup
and
at
the
same
service
level
as
in
2020,
and
that
is
140
000.
D
D
So
the
mayor's
next
slide.
D
D
So
the
mayor's
recommended
funding
for
neighborhood
programming
in
2021
is
4.1
million.
That's
the
same
service
level
as
in
2020,
and
that
4.1
million
is
his
recommended
funding
level.
D
I
want
to
note
that,
as
I
discussed
at
the
public
health
and
safety
committee
last
week,
the
neighborhoods
2020
framework,
which
was
approved
by
the
city
council
in
may
of
2019,
established
a
base
level
funding
for
all
the
neighborhood
organizations
at
25
000.,
based
on
the
result
of
the
racial
equity
analysis
conducted
by
the
university
of
minnesota
center
for
urban
and
regional
affairs.
D
The
steering
committee
is
now
recommending
and
bringing
back
to
the
council
that
the
base
amount
be
reduced
to
ten
thousand
dollars
over
the
course
of
three
years
and
that
the
funds
that
are
saved
by
that
be
moved
into
the
equitable
engagement
fund,
which
is
distributed
through
a
racial
equity
formula,
so
really
trying
to
shift
the
focus
to
be
more
into
that
equitable
engagement
fund.
So
the
questions
before
the
policy.
Excuse
me
the
questions
before
the
budget
committee
today
and
for
deliberations.
D
Moving
forward
is
the
total
amount,
the
mayor's
recommended
total
amount
for
the
program
which
is
4.1,
and
then
the
steering
committee's
recommendation
of
moving
from
a
25
000
base,
which
is
included
in
the
community
participation
program,
dropping
that
down
to
a
ten
thousand
dollar
base
over
the
course
of
three
years.
This
chart
that
you
see
in
front
of
you
really
shows
what
the
transition
plan
is
and
then
moving
forward,
so
the
transition
years
are
20,
20,
21
through
2023
and
then
stable
funding,
basically
from
2024
and
beyond.
D
I
want
to
note
that
one
of
the
recommendations-
that's
going
forward
through
the
to
the
city
council
tomorrow,
is
that
in
2021
we're
going
to
extend
the
current
community
participation
program
for
six
months
start
the
new
program
july
first
and
move
forward,
so
the
base
amount
that
you
see
there
in
2021.
D
The
community
participation
program
has
25
000
as
a
base
and
then
the
new
program
kicks
in
july
1st,
which
has
a
20
000
base
for
the
first
year
or
for
the
first
six
months,
which,
if
pro
rated
amount,
is
10
000..
So
in
essence,
it's
going
from
25
down
to
20
next
year
recommended,
but
because
it's
prorated,
it
only
shows
up
as
ten
thousand
dollar
actual
out
the
door,
because
it's
only
covering
six
months,
then
in
2022
it
goes
to
15
000
and
then
2023.
D
It
goes
to
10
000..
Hopefully
that
wasn't
too
confusing
with
that.
That
ends
my
presentation
and
I'm
available
to
answer.
B
F
Good
morning,
madam
chair,
thank
you
so
much.
G
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Thank
you
director
rubidor.
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
created
space
to
really
point
out
this
critical
component
of
the
neighborhoods
2020
work,
which
is
the
funding
part
of
it.
We,
we
have
heard
a
lot
of
feedback
from
various
folks
who
are
involved
and
invested
in
neighborhood
organizations,
but
they
would
like
to
see
the
base
funding
increase.
G
That
is
something
we,
the
staff
direction
that
we
had
given
to
ncr
related
to
neighborhoods
2020
asked
for
them
to
come
back
with
a
budget
neutral,
a
budget
neutral
recommendation,
but
it
is
that
that
is
a
part
of
the
conversation
that
that
really
we
as
colleagues
need
to
have,
as
well
as
the
base
funding.
That
is
another
component
of
it.
As
director
rubidor
mentioned,
we
passed
twenty
five
thousand
dollar
base
funding.
G
The
recommendations
based
on
the
racial
equity
analysis
have
brought
back
recommendations
for
that
to
change,
so
those
are
two
really
important
decisions
that
have
now
been
baked
into
the
budget
process.
So
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
really
highlight
that
and
and
don't
miss
that
important
part
of
the
conversation
we
have
the
program
guidelines
and
various
other
components
that
are
going
before
the
full
body
tomorrow
for
approval,
but
how
we
actually
fund
that
is,
is
what's
happening
here.
G
So
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
that
that
didn't
slip
by
so.
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
H
Gordon,
thank
you
very
much
jared
promisano
and
thank
you
councilmember
cunningham,
for
bringing
that
up.
I,
of
course,
talked
about
the
budget
a
little
bit
when
this
came
up
at
the
committee.
I
think
the
program
guidelines
are
great.
I'm
interested
in
having
some
discussions
and
figuring
out
how
we
can
add
some
revenue
here.
H
One
thing
that
I'm
hearing
really
clearly
is:
we
don't
necessarily
want
to
move
funds
from
one
of
these
programs
to
the
other.
What
we
really
do
need
to
do,
I
think,
is
make
the
entire
amount
that's
going
out
to
neighborhoods
larger,
so
that
becomes
a
problem,
because
if
we
don't
have
money
within
the
department,
as
you
can
imagine,
then
how
are
we
actually
going
to
find
some
revenue
to
to
lift
that
up?
H
One
thing
that
I
think
I
heard
at
the
committee
was:
there
was
some
maybe
more
interest
in
support
in
seeing
increase
in
fundings
on
both
sides,
the
base
funding
and
maybe
also
with
the
formula
so
that
as
funding
increased,
it
might
increase
on
both
areas.
I
am,
I
guess
my
question
might
be
just
to
get
some
clear
clarity
from
staff.
H
If
we
did
want
to
increase
to
kind
of
understand,
maybe
what
the
total
quantity
would
be
like.
Let's
say
we
wanted
to
increase
the
base
funding
by
5
000
for
all
the
neighborhoods.
H
A
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
I
am
here.
However,
I
would
defer
to
mr
rubidor,
as
I
don't
have
the
total
number
of
neighborhood
organizations
off
the
top
of
my
head.
D
Am
very
familiar
with
them.
Thank
you,
chair,
paul,
masano
and
councilmember
gordon.
The
the
the
base
funding
is
actually
allocated
by
neighborhood,
not
necessarily
neighborhood
organizations,
so
like
a
neighborhood
like
a
neighborhood
organization
like
nina,
actually
has
four
different
neighborhoods
within
it,
so
the
base
funding
is
allocated
by
neighborhoods.
So
what
what
we
do
is
we
use
83,
which
is
the
number
of
residential
neighborhoods
covered
by
neighborhood
organizations,
not
70,
which
is
the
number
of
organizations
that
are
out
there.
D
So
we
do
for
every
5
000
increase
in
base
funding
times
83.
It
comes
to
415
000,
so
for
every
5
000
increase
it's
it's.
The
revenue
needed
would
be
four
hundred
and
fifteen
thousand
dollars.
H
And
I'll
just
put,
thank
you
very
much.
I
appreciate
that
I've
actually,
given
it
some
thought
about
the
neighborhoods
as
opposed
to
neighborhood
organizations
and
I'm
inclined
to
think
we
should
look
at
it
in
terms
of
organizations.
H
I
know
that
if
we,
if
we
did
it
by
neighborhoods,
we
might
encourage
some
groups
to
combine
so
that
they
could
gather
it
up
more
and
and
then
only
have
one
set
of
staff,
and
maybe
that's
something-
that's
reasonable
or
something
that
we
could
do.
But
I
am
in
all
of
these
discussions
and
looking
at
how
hard
it
is
to
find
money,
and
these
are
very
difficult
and
challenging
economic
times.
As
everybody
knows,
for
the
city's
budget,
I
actually
was
looking
and
thinking.
H
Maybe
we
should
start
looking
at
this
in
terms
of
organization
and
base
funding
for
organizations
and
then
realizing
that
through
the
formula
those
organizations
that
serve
a
larger
area,
a
larger
population,
there's
going
to
be
ways
that
we
can.
We
can,
I
guess,
address
that
and
they
would
get
more
potential
funding
through
the
formula
program
on
site
of
that
so
there's
70
organizations.
H
So
that
means
it
would
be
700
000
if
we
wanted
to
increase
them
each
10
000.
That's
a
nice
round
number,
that's
something
that
we
can
think
about
here.
I'm
interested
in
hearing
what
my
colleagues
think
of
any
any
of
these
ideas
too.
I
also
just
want
to
note
that.
Could
you
just
remind
us
that
in
2021,
because
the
program
change
doesn't
happen
at
the
beginning
of
the
year,
the
base
funding
is
actually
going
to
turn
out
to
look
higher
in
2021.
Is
that
true,
director
rubidor.
D
Chair
palmerston,
councilmember
goodman,
the
net
effect
for
20
for
2021
will
be
you
know
the
the
community
participation
program.
Nobody
gets
less
than
25
000
and
so
in
essence,
that's
the
base
and
in
the
second
half
of
the
year,
it'll
drop
down
to
20
000
as
the
recommendation.
If
it
were
to
be
approved.
So
I
mean
the
the
blended
rate
between
the
two
is
going
to
be:
22
500
in
essence
for
20
21.
H
H
The
base
funding
will
feel
like
22
500
and
then
in
2022.
It
will
be
cut
more
than
in
half
to
10
000
as
a
base
funding,
correct.
D
In
2020,
chair
palmisano
and
council
member
gordon
in
2022,
it
goes
to
15
and
then
2023.
It
goes
to
10
000.
so
next
year,
in
essence,
the
blended
rate
of
this
year
is
22.5.
H
Okay,
so
that
gives
us
a
little
bit
of,
I
guess
a
step
down
to
get
there.
It
also
makes
me
think
really.
Our
biggest
problem
will
be
coming
up
in
the
future.
We're
gonna
we're
gonna,
have
a
pretty
good
consistent
cushion
next
year,
and
then
there
will
be
less
the
following
year,
and
I
know
that
we
have
done
five-year
projections.
I
think
for
this
program
in
the
past,
in
our
in
those
things.
So
maybe
that's
one
of
the
things
to
think
about
and
short
of
an
actual
budget
amendment.
H
It
might
mean
that
we
could
tee
up
some
staff
directions,
so
we
could
take
the
year
to
figure
out.
How
are
we
going
to
actually
make
sure
we
have
good
funding
and
who
knows?
Maybe
the
economy
will
be
so
much
more
robust
next
year.
It
will
be
much
easier
thing
to
find
and
to
think
about,
but
I
appreciate
this
discussion
and
my
opportunity
to
share
some
of
my
thoughts
and,
as
always,
I'm
anxious
and
eager
to
learn
from
my
colleagues
what
their
thinking
is
around
these
kinds
of
issues
in
this
issue,
in
particular,.
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
know
that
we're
mixing
a
bit
of
budget
and
a
bit
of
the
policy
work
that
we
heard
at
committee.
I
do
think
it's
important.
When
I
first
took
office,
I
saw
neighborhood
organizations
in
my
ward,
one
in
particular
90
renter,
one
of
the
fastest
gentrifying
neighborhoods
in
the
city,
using
city
dollars
to
fight
affordable
housing
projects
and
just
seeing
that
disconnect
between
the
need
of
my
constituents.
F
The
most
I
mean
they're,
organizing,
to
get
food
to
neighbors,
they're,
organizing,
to
keep
renters
in
their
homes,
and
so
when
we
look
at
both
our
policy
and
funding
together
to
me,
you
know
I
can't
support
one
without
the
other,
the
work
that
staff
has
done
over
these
years
to
create
some
clear
guidelines
and
boundaries
and
directions
for
how
we
can
align
neighborhood
organization
funding
and
work
with
city
goals
around
race
equity,
around
lifting
up
all
of
our
communities.
F
I
really
think
we
need
to
take
seriously
the
work
that
kira
did
to
show
us
how
even
given
the
best
intentions
of
the
past
funding
was
not
used
in
an
equitable
way,
so
that
these
analysis
of
and
recommendations
related
to
race,
equity
and
funding
for
neighborhoods
is
really
important.
F
It's
important
to
me
and
it's
it
will
be
guiding.
You
know
the
positions
that
I
would
take
on
on
any
kind
of
funding
formula.
I
mean
we
need
to
put
our
money
where
our
values,
where
we
state
our
values,
are,
and
so
I
think
doing
anything
to
dilute
that
race,
equity
analysis
and
recommendations
would
be
really
disappointing.
Especially
now
when
neighborhood
organizations
in
those
most
vulnerable
neighborhoods
are
organizing
to
literally
keep
people
with
food
on
the
table
and
doing
all
that
they
can
to
keep
people
in
their
homes.
B
E
Thank
you
so
much,
madam
chair
and
yeah.
I
just
wanted
just
to
also,
I
guess
maybe
reiterate
what
council
president
bender
was
illuminating,
and
that
is
you
know
we
we're
we're
less
about
trying
to
create
equality
and
and
more
about
equity
and
and
that's
what
the
race
equity
analysis
was
all
about,
and,
and
I
would
like
to
remind
my
colleagues
that
you
know
we're
talking
about
the
base.
E
Access
more
funding,
as
they
continue
to
do,
work
that
is
aligned
with
with
the
values
of
this
council
that
we
have
laid
out,
and
so
you
know
these
are
base
funding
considerations
and
there
are
certainly
other
opportunities,
and
you
know,
particularly
if
we,
if
we
do
it
by
neighborhood
organizations
versus
neighborhoods,
I
I
yeah
that
would
in
my
mind
it
would.
It
would
dilute
the
equity
analysis
that
we
are
trying
to
trying
to
move
forward.
B
B
You
mentioned
that
next
year,
in
next
year's
funding
model,
even
though
the
slide
and
if
you
could
go
a
couple
slides
back
so
that
we
could
see
that
funding
year
to
year,
the
slide
says
ten
thousand
dollars,
because
that
is
the
base
funding
for
every
neighborhood
organization,
but
you're
saying
that
is
only
for
the
second
half
of
the
year.
D
Sure,
chair,
palmisano
yeah,
let's
go
to
that
slide,
so
the
the
community
participation
program
actually
has
a
base
of
25
000
built
into
it.
So
if
we
continue
the
program
for
the
entire
year
next
year,
everybody
would
be
getting
nobody
would
be
getting
less
than
25
000.
D
So
if
you
take
half
of
that
for
the
six
months,
that
would
be
twelve
thousand
five
hundred
and
then
switching
to
the
new
program,
the
first,
the
first
part
of
that
is
at
twenty
thousand
dollars,
so
prorating
that
for
half
a
year
is
another
ten.
So
the
two
combined
comes
to
twenty
two
five,
so
the
rate
in
essence
ends
up
being
22.5
for
the
over
the
course
of
the
year.
D
20
years
of
home,
that's
a
good
point
in
the
in
the
chart
itself.
When
it
says
neighborhood
base
amount
that
10
000
is
really
reflecting
neighborhoods
2020
money.
It
doesn't
reflect
the
cpp,
the
cp
p
money,
it's
kind
of
baked
into
the
number
at
the
top
of
the
chart
that
two
million
fifty
thousand,
but
we
should
have
broken
it
to
clarify
that.
That's
a
really,
I
think,
an
excellent
point.
D
B
I
see
why
you
reflected
it
that
way
now.
Thank
you.
Another
question
in
thinking
about
what
council
member
gordon
said
and
council
member
jenkins
another
way
to
look
at
this,
because,
in
my
experience,
one
of
the
most
helpful
things
that
neighborhood
organizations
has
done
is
to
reach
our
residents
right,
reach
our
residents
and
communicate
some
of
the
some
basic
city,
kinds
of
communications
and
some
bigger
kinds
of
city
initiatives
and
I'm
curious
director.
Can
you
help
me
understand
how
much
neighborhoods
fluctuate
in
terms
of
population?
B
That
number
fluctuates
a
lot
and
have
we
considered
that
as
a
model
both
in
a
racial
impact
analysis
in
terms
of
what
make
some
neighborhoods
get
more
funding,
but
also
just
in
terms
of
base
funding
right.
If
somebody
is
a
neighborhood
organization
that
serves
8
000
residents
versus,
I
don't
know
what
the
smallest
neighborhood
is.
Can
you
help
me
understand
how
that
was
how
that
factors
into
some
of
the
thinking
here.
D
Yeah,
chair
palmisano,
if
I
understand
your
question
correctly
you're
asking
about
how
in
essence
a
formula
that's
applied,
citywide
addresses
the
variability
within
each
of
the
of
the
within
each
of
these
neighborhoods,
because
we
do
have
neighborhoods
to
your
point.
The
smallest
is
around
800
people
and
that's
northeast
park,
and
the
largest
single
neighborhood
is
whittier
with
around
16
000
residents.
D
The
approach
around
setting
the
base
wasn't
really
so
much
set
on
the
demographics
with
the
the
formula
itself
is
more,
is
more
based
on
actual
numbers
and
demographics.
The
base
is
really
formula
formulated
around
the
notion
of
what
do
we
want
to
guarantee
to
making
sure
that
every
neighborhood
organization
has
funding
that
they
can
that
they
can
use
to
operate
with
now?
D
Clearly,
a
10
there's,
there's
a
policy
question
here
that
a
lot
of
that
hadn't
deserved
a
lot
of
conversation,
and
probably
so
we'll
have
more
moving
forward,
is
what's
really
that
kind
of
appropriate
phase.
The
every
organization
has
a
certain.
They
have
a
certain
amount
of
work
that
they
just
need
to
do
regardless,
if
they're
serving
you
know,
16,
000
or
or
800
it
just
there's
a
certain
level
that
needs
to
be
maintained,
and
so
the
base
was
really.
D
The
approach
that
we
took
on
the
base
was:
what
does
it
take
to
really
just
have
an
organization
up
and
running
the
the
equitable
for
the
formula
itself?
The
distribution
of
the
funds
is
more
based
on
demographics
and
that
are
more
variable
that
are
more
reflective
of
neighborhood
characteristics
and
neighborhood
demographics.
So
it's
a
kind
of
a
combination
of
the
two,
and
so
that
was
the
thinking
behind
it.
D
Through
the
conversation
at
the
steering
committee,
when
we
discussed
and
brought
in
the
racial
equity
work
was
really
try
to
put
more
of
an
emphasis
around
the
equitable
engagement
fund,
not
so
much
not
quite
as
much
on
the
base
that
we
had
before
so
again,
dealing
with
a
finite
amount
of
money,
it's
really
kind
of
a
power.
It
was
a
policy
decision
to
recommend
setting
it
up
this
way.
D
So,
to
answer
your
question,
the
demographics
for
the
base
isn't
really
the
factor.
It's
more
of
what
is
a
minimum
that
we
want
to
have
every
neighborhood
organization
to
have
the
demographics
factor
into
the
other
funds.
B
Right
so
I
appreciate
that
I
mean
I
just
need
to
also
factor
in
somehow
that
a
neighborhood
with
800
residents
to
communicate
to
versus
8
000
or
16
000
residents
to
communicate
to
I
mean
that
that
is
a
significant
factor
as
to
how
much
time
energy
you
know,
I
don't
know
stamps
or
time
to
organize
databases
for
things
like
block
leaders
and
email
e-newsletters.
B
B
Time,
I'm
not
seeing
any.
Thank
you
director
rubidour
for
your
time.
Thank
you
appreciate
it.
We're
going
to
move
and
transition
to
director
hughes
director,
kathy
hughes
runs
our
911
department.
I
Madam
chair,
thank
you
council
members.
Yes,
so
I
am
here
today
to
present
minneapolis
emergency
communications
center
9-1-1
2021
budget
next
slide,
please.
So
the
first
slide
is
the
summary
chart.
With
our
fund
distribution
for
mecc's
budget,
it
is
95
percent
from
the
general
fund
and
5
percent
is
from
grant
funds.
I
I
These,
the
the
20
decrease,
will
occur
by
reducing
spending
for
certain
equipment,
some
professional
services
to
make
up
that
20
percent.
B
Really
brief,
director
hughes,
as
I
let
my
colleagues
get
their
thoughts
together
here,
I
did
want
to
ask
you.
B
You
know
we
are
not
blind
to
the
staffing
challenges
that
it
takes
to
staff
a
9-1-1
center
and
one
such
as
the
city
of
minneapolis
has,
with
the
kind
of
volume
of
calls
that
it
has,
and
I'm
curious
does
your
if
to
run
out
of
an
overtime
budget
in
your
own
budget.
Do
you
also
pull
from
the
city
contingency
fund?
I
would
imagine
that
you
would,
because
you
must
have
minimum
staffing
ratios
to
hit.
Is
that
correct.
I
We
do
have
minimum
staffing
numbers
to
hit,
but
we
also
are
in
the
process
of
hiring
right
now.
So
we
are
hoping
in
the
next
couple
months.
We
will
be
back
up
to
fully
staffed
with
our
dispatcher
position,
so
that
will
help
a
lot.
I
So
we've
done
actually
pretty
good
in
the
last
year
with
our
staffing.
Just
recently,
we
had
a
number
of
employees
that
left
the
state
for
other
jobs,
or
you
know
during
probation.
They
realized
the
job
wasn't
for
them,
but
we've
we've
been
doing
pretty
good.
We've
updated
our
training
to
help
make
the
job
a
more.
I
B
Thank
you.
Can
you
help
us
understand
a
little
bit
about
how
your
your
team
has
managed
through
covid?
What
kinds
of
different
have
you
needed
to
adjust
your
working
area
or
those
kinds
of
things.
I
B
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
you
and
the
dedication
of
your
team.
Thank
you.
I'm
not
seeing
other
colleagues
in
queue
council,
council,
member
bender
and
then
gordon.
F
F
The
right
call
the
right
response
to
the
right
call
for
help
and
that
critical
piece
that
your
dispatchers
play
in
being
that
first
voice
that
people
talk
to
when
they
call
for
help
and
helping
us
make
sure
that,
as
we
think
about
getting
that
right,
you
know
that
we're
relying
on
the
expertise
of
your
team
and
also
thinking
about
how
we
can
improve
into
the
future.
It's
been
just
really
important
and
then
also
the
work
that
you're
doing
to
build
more
resilience
in
our
system.
Regionally.
F
I
know
those
conversations
have
been
happening
for
many
many
years.
We've
been
part
of
them
in
many
different
roles,
but
just
such
a
critical
piece
of
our
you
know
really.
Regional
safety
infrastructure
appreciate
your
leadership
and
work
on
that
too.
H
Yeah,
I
just
wanted
to
extend
my
appreciation
and
gratitude
to
all
the
911
dispatchers.
I
hear
often
how
appreciated
they
are
out
in
the
ward,
and
I
think
that's
absolutely
fantastic.
I
also,
I
guess
I
just
wanted
to
flag
that
I,
with
our
9-1-1
study
and
the
task
force,
and
what
we're
looking
at
too
and
community
safety
and
reshaping
that
I
am
actually
hearing
a
lot
about
how
people
hope
and
want
9-1-1
to
be
even
a
better
tool
for
targeting
resources
to
respond
to
emergencies
in
a
timely
manner.
H
And
we
are
talking
a
lot
about.
Even
how
can
we
embed
some
mental
health
information?
There
there's
even
been
some
recommendations
that
there
should
be
a
mental
health
professional
within
9-1-1,
and
we
should
be
creating
some
kind
of
a
mobile
mental
health
response,
maybe
working
with
the
county
and
how
we
could
do
that
as
an
emergency
response,
something
that
I'm
really
hoping
we
can
move
forward
with
at
least
a
pilot
for
next
year.
H
Somehow-
and
so
I
guess
it's
just
a
very
public
warning
to
9-1-1
that
the
expectations
were
already
high
and
the
performance
has
been
good,
but
now
we're
maybe
going
to
be
hoping
that
we
can
get
more
out
of
that
effort
and

really
grateful
for
all
the
cooperation

the
whole
9-1-1

group

that
that
whole
process-
I
don't
know
if
I
necessarily
need
comments
on
this
or
anything
like
that,
but
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
and
bring
that
up
now
in
this
form,
and
mainly
I
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you
so
much
for
all
the
911
dispatchers
and
the
great
work
that
they've
been
doing,
because
it
really
has
been
some
challenging
times.
I

Thank
