Minneapolis City Council Meeting
https://lims.minneapolismn.gov/
B
Thank
you
good
morning,
I'm
Lisa
bender
on
the
presidents
of
the
Minneapolis
City
Council
I'm,
going
to
call
this
regular
meeting
of
the
City
Council
for
me,
22nd
to
order
I'll
note
that
this
meeting
has
remote
participation
by
members
of
the
City
Council
and
city
staff
as
authorized
under
Minnesota
statute,
section
of
13
D
point
0
to
1
due
to
the
declared
local
public
health
emergency.
But
this
time
I'll
ask
the
clerk
to
call
a
roll
so
that
we
may
verify
a
quorum
for
the
meeting.
B
A
A
madam
president,
there
is
one
amendment
that
I
put
forward
late
last
night.
This
is
adding
the
new
item
of
business
number,
two,
which
would
add
the
resolution
which
continues
and
extends
the
declared
state
of
emergency
and
incorporates
therein
all
of
the
declared
emergency
regulations
issued
by
Merrick
Frey.
With
apologies.
I
know.
The
emergency
regulation
was
asked
that
issue
yesterday,
and
this
would
incorporate
that
into
the
council
standing
action.
B

President
bender
hi.
B
B
C
B
B
F
You,
madam
president,
it
has
been
an
exceptionally
busy
week
around
the
state
and
swells
here
at
the
city.
The
legislative
session
concluded
with
no
resolution
on
several
significant
items.
I
know
I
and
leaders
from
across
this
enterprise
have
been
in
very
close
conversation
with
legislators
about
both
the
bonding
bill
and
the
distribution
of
Tears
Act
funding.
F
I
can't
thank
all
of
you
enough
for
your
your
partnership
and
input
in
shaping
so
many
of
these
policies
and
helping
us
get
the
word
out
to
our
residents
through
the
hashtag
mask
up
MPLS
campaign.
There's
a
lot
to
digest
today,
so
I
will
dig
right
in
there
have
been
12
emergency
regulations
to
date.
The
final
the
12th
coming
yesterday,
as
I
just
mentioned
over
the
class
the
course
of
the
last
month,
we've
looked
at
many
other
cities
that
implemented
similar
measures
related
to
cloth,
masks,
Denver,
New,
York,
Los,
Angeles
Nashville.
F
Some
were
more
restrictive,
some
less.
We
also
consulted
epidemiological
experts
in
drafting
the
the
regulation,
and
ultimately,
we
came
to
the
conclusion
that
any
person
who
was
medically
able
to
wear
the
face
covering
above
a
certain
age
is
required
to
wear
one
in
indoor
spaces
of
public
accommodation.
F
Some
are
four
to
five
to
even
like
up
to
10
days
before
people
start
showing
signs
or
symptoms
of
Co
vat19,
and
in
some
cases
they
don't
ever
show
symptoms,
but
they
nonetheless
are
walking
around
carrying
the
virus
as
it
relates
to
enforcement.
We're
not
criminalizing
forgetfulness.
We
are
not
penalizing
people
for
a
lack
of
awareness.
We
are,
however,
approaching
the
implementation
of
this
policy
with
grace
and
and
patience.
What
we
are
doing
is
prioritizing
outreach
and
education,
but
here's
what
we
will
be
cracking
down
on.
F
We
will
not
be
entertaining
extreme
selfishness
and
flagrant
disregard
for
the
health
and
safety
of
fellow
Minneapolis
residents.
That
type
of
behavior
is
going
to
be
unacceptable.
We
will
be
helping
people
comply
as
well
and
to
support
the
effort.
Our
fire
department,
om
and
health
are
launching
a
massive
drive.
A
Memorial
Day
from
10:00
a.m.
to
2:00
p.m.
F
and
people
will
be
encouraged
to
donate
cloth,
masks
at
fire
stations
around
the
city,
and
the
regulation
itself
will
go
into
effect
on
Tuesday,
May
26,
so
we'll
have
a
runway
before
people
need
to
start
complying
as
per
the
regulation.
Of
course,
we
encourage
people
to
comply
right
now,
and
then
there
will
be
several
more
days
until
the
June
first
date.
C
F
F
However,
we
want
to
make
clear
that
one,
of
course,
staff
cooks,
anybody
bussing
tables
whatever
should
should
be
wearing
the
mask,
and
we
want
to
protect
staff
as
much
as
possible
from
the
customers
that
are
going
to
these
restaurants
and
so
as
of
right
now.
As
you
know,
the
governor's
order
only
allows
for
patio
or
outdoor
space
to
be
provided
for
restaurants
and
bars,
and
this
particular
regulation
would
not
impact
outdoor
activities
its
exclusive
to
public
indoor
spaces
of
accommodation.
F
C
F
President
council,
vice-president,
yes,
we
will
be
having
a
mass
drive
as
I
mentioned,
it'll
be
the
the
regulation
will
go
into
effect
on
May
26th.
However,
a
Memorial
Day
we're
doing
a
big
mask
drive
in
conjunction
with
our
Health
Department
fire
department,
om
and
people
will
be
able
to
drop
off
masks
at
fire
stations
around
the
city,
and
so,
additionally,
we
will
be
making
accessible
masks
to
the
extent
that
we
can
to
to
people
around
our
city.
That,
for
some
reason,
can't
get
one
themselves.
F
I
will
know,
however,
that
this
regulation
does
not
require
it
commercially
made
or
professionally
developed
masks.
You
know
the
masks
that
I
wore
this
morning
on
my
run,
it
was
was
very
shoddily
made
by
myself
just
with,
like
a
ripped
t-shirt,
wrap
it
around
your
face
and
make
sure
that
you've
got
some
form
of
cloth
covering
both
your
your
mouth
and
nose.
C
F
B
Thank
you
both
and
you
know,
I'll
just
lift
up,
I
think
what
you
said.
Mr.
mayor,
about
our
firm
commitment
to
protecting
those
employees
who
are
increasingly
in
larger
quantities
being
considered
essential
workers
in
our
workplaces
and
I
think
we're
seeing
around
the
country
different
approaches
as
cities
pass
workers
Bills
of
Rights
to
protect
essential
workers,
as
that
discussion
is
happening
at
a
federal
level.
So
I
think
this
small
change
is
while
I'm,
not
small.
B
G
Thank
You
council
president
and
thank
you
mayor
for
this
order,
I
think
it's
giving
a
lot
of
people
a
lot
of
comfort
and
I'm
hearing
a
lot
of
positive
feedback
about
it
from
Minneapolis
residents.
So
really
appreciate
that
I
think
it's
important
to
take
this
seriously.
One
of
the
things
you
and
I
have
talked
about
and
that
we
actually
work
together
to
find
money
and
as
a
council
and
and
with
your
mayor's
office,
is
the
need
to
not
just
do
a
mass
drive.
G
I
know
that
there
is
significantly
more
need
and
I'll
just
note
that
I
have
been
in
some
conversations
with
public
health,
where
they
have
been
working
on
identifying
funding
sources,
and
it
just
feels
like
a
little
bit
more
explicit
guidance
from
you
to
help
them
feel
confident,
pulling
the
trigger
on
actually
ordering
the
masks
and
know
that
the
your
executive
procurement
Authority
is
going
to
be
used.
For
that
purpose.
Might
speed
this
along
and
get
masks
into
people's
hands
a
little
quicker.
G
So
I
would
just
ask
you
to
if
you
can
today
make
sure
you're
talking
to
public
health,
and
just
you
know
really
helping
them
feel
confident
that
this
is
a
priority
of
the
city,
that
this
is
something
that
we're
going
to
cover
one
way
or
the
other.
But
we
have
to
get
masks
into
people's
hands,
especially
in
dense,
low-income
apartment,
buildings.
F
Thank
You
councilmember,
Fletcher
and
Madam
President
I
hear
you
entirely.
We
do
have
a
mask
supply,
obviously
right
now
in
the
cash.
The
question
is,
then,
how
far
that
mask
supply
goes,
and
so,
as
you
know,
Hennepin
County
has
taken
the
measure
of
ensuring
that
all
Hennepin
County
employees,
as
well
as
individuals
entering
the
Hennepin
County
Building,
have
access
to
a
mask
in
some
form.
You
know
I
think
that's
something
that
we
want
to
look
at
as
well.
F
Obviously
we
need
to
have
a
priority
and
making
sure
that
our
first
first
responders
are
properly
outfitted
and
as
of
right
now
they
most
definitely
are
and
additionally
coming
to
the
council
soon
there
should
be
some
CDBG
funding
about
a
hundred
fifteen
thousand
which
would
be
for
masks,
and
we
should
be
able
to
talk
to
staff
about
that
sometime
in
the
very
near
future.
So
thank
you.
H
H
H
What
is
the
plan
to
be
able
to
get
the
masks
to
folks
who
need
them
the
most,
and
how
are
we
making
sure
that
we
are
not
criminalizing
and
financially
burdening
folks
who
do
not
have
access
to
masks
or
are
not
in
aware
of
how
serious
and
and
how
much
of
a
risk
this
is
so
I
was
just
hoping
to
be
able
to
get
a
little
bit
more
information
on
that.
Thank
you.
Thank.
F
You,
madam
president,
councilman
Cunningham.
We
so
enforcement
will
be
an
escalating
well,
an
enforcement
will
be
done
in
an
escalating
fashion.
Of
course,
we
begin
with
outreach
and
engagement.
You
know
this
is
not
a
measure
meant
to
criminalize
forgetfulness.
This
is
not
a
measure
immense
to
penalize
someone
who
just
did
not
know
that
this
regulation
is
in
place.
F
The,
however,
we
will
be
cracking
down
on
extreme
selfishness,
in
other
words,
you're
gonna
have
to
earn
that
citation
if
you're,
if
you,
if
you
are
totally
overtly
ignoring
this
rule,
which
we
have
in
place,
you've
been
told
about
it,
then
yes,
you
know
we
will
be
cracking
down
and
the
enforcement
will
come
from
a
department
depending
on
where
the
violation
and
how
the
violation
took
place.
In
other
words,
you
know
there
will
be
certain.
There
will
be
certain
violations
that
the
health
may
account
for,
and
food
pools
or
lodging.
F
There
will
be
others
with
an
involving
business,
license
that
licensing,
for
instance,
that
see
ped
may
take
care
of,
and
yes,
there
will
be
instances
where
the
Minneapolis
Police
Department
could
also
get
involved.
The
thousand
dollar
fine
ain't
good.
By
the
way,
it's
not
a
thousand
dollar
fine,
it's
up
to
a
thousand
dollar
fine.
F
That
is
very
much
not
the
first
resort.
That
is
the
last
one
and
as
far
as
distribution
of
masks-
yes,
you
know.
As
I
mentioned,
we've
got
the
mass
drive
that
we're
that
we
are
pushing
out.
I
know
that
our
Health
Department
has
been
able
to
get
masks
to
a
lot
of
our
more
community
based
health
systems
and
programs.
We
have
seen
mass
distributed
through
mPHA
and
yes,
I
agree.
F
We
would
like
to
get
these
masks
distributed
more
broadly
to
some
of
these
lower-income
buildings
that
could
have
a
higher
susceptibility
and
given
the
density
of
people
a
likely
higher
transmission
rate.
We're
working
on
that
right
now.
I
just
want
to
reiterate
on
OSA
I
just
before
I'm,
never
eating
this
for
you,
but
more,
you
know
the
public.
Even
if
you
don't
have
a
professionally
made
man,
you
can
still
use
a
form
of
cloth
and
then
wrap
it
around
your
your
face.
As
long
as
it's
covering
your
nose
and
your
mouth
that
should
work
great.
H
H
As
you
know.
Obviously,
MPD
plays
a
role
in
that
in
in
enforcement,
but
I'm
also
curious
about
like
who
are
like
like.
Are
we
engaging
with
neighborhood
associations,
for
example
right?
My
ward
has
very
active
neighborhood
associations
who
are
doing
a
ton
of
work
around
kovat
response
and
engaging
with
folks
and
in
a
healthy
way
to
be
able
to
educate
folks.
So
you
know,
I
don't
have
a
lot
of
multifamily
housing
units,
for
example
in
in
buildings.
H
In
my
ward
we
have
low
density
like
section
8,
scattered
housing,
for
example,
but
so
so
I
just
want
to
really
reiterate
or
not
reiterate,
but
really
emphasize,
that
neighborhood
associations,
I
think,
would
be
a
really
great
connection.
As
that
point
of
contact,
and
then
my
last
question
is
so
you
said
it's
escalating.
So,
for
example,
if
someone
is
walking
along
Lowry-
and
let's
say
you
know,
MPD
stops
and
is
like
hey.
H
F
And
a
president
councilmember
Cunningham
regarding
your
scenario
on
Lowry:
there
wouldn't
be
enforcement
at
all
in
the
first
place
because
it
takes
place
outside
the
this
regulation.
Only
up
lies
to
public
indoor
places
of
accommodation,
however,
to
the
extent
you're
asking
what
would
be
the
scenario
if,
if
someone
is
walking
in
a
place
of
public
accommodation
that
is
indoors,
we
would
first
the
the
business
is
not
required
to
enforce
the
businesses
required
to
make
sure
that
their
own
employees
are
wearing
a
mask.
F
Businesses
are
certainly
allowed
to
tell
someone
a
customer,
or
otherwise
that
is
not
wearing
a
mask,
that
they
are
not
welcome
in
their
shop
without
a
mask,
but
we
are
not
requiring
businesses
to
do
the
enforcement
work
of
the
regulation
provided
by
the
city.
So
in
instances
where
a
worker
is
experiencing
a
problematic
patron
that
won't
wear
a
mask,
we
are
encouraging
the
worker.
We
are
encouraging
the
business
owner.
We
are
encouraging
other
customers
to
call
3-1-1
to
let
us
know,
and
then
we
can
take
on
that
burden
of
of
enforcement.
H
Yes,
thank
you
for
thank
you
for
the
clarification
I
I
did
mean
like
as
like
an
individual,
that's
walking
along
Lowry
like
going
in
and
out
and
Broadway
going
in
and
out
of
the
businesses.
So
thank
you
for
that
clarification.
I,
do
appreciate
it
and
thank
you
for
the
information.
I
will
be
sure
to
pass
that
along
to
my
constituents.
Thank
you.
B
B
You
know
quarantine,
housing,
some
things
that
I
know
you
and
I
have
been
briefed
on
a
bit
here
and
there,
but
maybe
for
more
for
the
public,
because
I
think
you
and
I
mentioned
it
in
various
ways:
more
empathic
during
these
presentations,
but
I
think
for
the
rest
for
the
council,
members
and
the
public.
It
might
be
helpful
to
have
a
little
more
detail
about.
You
know
how
we're
tracking
cases
in
the
city-
you
know
what
populations
are
most
impacted.
We've
had
some
discussion
about
that
at
a
high
level.
B
Here
you
know:
what's
the
status
of
the
statewide
efforts
on
tracing
versus
what's
happening
at
the
city
or
county
level,
you
know
what
kind
of
once
we
notice
a
prevalence
of
cases
in
a
particular
geographic
area
or
in
our
particular
population.
One
of
the
next
steps
happening
and
again
what's
the
breakdown
between
cities,
county
and
state
responsibilities
there.
So
you
know
I,
think
I'll
just
pause
and
and
leave
that
as
an
idea,
maybe
for
next
week's
Pogo
meeting.
B
F
F
B
F
A
A
F
Vice
president,
the
University
of
Minnesota
has
this
as
a
program
in
conjunction
with
the
Mayo
Clinic
in
the
governor's
office
that
where
they
are
dramatically
increasing
the
number
of
tests,
and
so
yes
that
is
happening
right
now,
I
think.
The
question
is
to
as
to
whether
we
can,
in
addition
to
obvious
tests
that
are
happening
in
major
healthcare
sites
and
hospitals,
whether
we
can
have
these
satellite
locations
for
testing
around
the
city,
especially
in
areas
where
hotspots
could
pop
up.
B
I
I
I
Some
of
the
challenges
have
to
do
with
how
information
usually
flows
from
testing
to
people,
and
it's
usually
through
a
medical
record
here
in
Minnesota,
and
so
there
may
be
some
need
to
look
at
and
modify
some
of
those
the
state
regulations
to
make
it
a
little
bit
easier
for
us
to
get
these
things
going
more
quickly.
So
that
really
has
been
kind
of
a
speed
bump
in
our
process.
I
But
there
are
lots
of
people
that
are
interested
in
doing
it,
and
we
believe
that
we
will
have
a
place-based
testing
in
addition
to
the
ongoing
testing
that
the
people
center
is
doing
before
the
end
of
next
week.
So
in
the
in
the
Cedar
Riverside
area,
and
then
we
are
also
looking
at
other
other
testing
in
public
housing,
high-rises
and
amongst
the
homeless
populations
and
we
hope
again
to
get
more
traction
and
have
some
tangible
plans
and
results
in
the
very
near
future.
B
I
I
We
really
just
need
to
problem-solve
with
what
we've
got
to
work
with,
and
so
we
inquire
about
how
many
bathrooms
is
it
possible
to
segregate
the
bathroom
use
or
is
it
there
are
protocols
to
use
if
bathrooms
need
to
be
shared
so
that
people
are
not
infecting
each
other
by
using
the
same
space?
How
within
a
living
arrangement,
are
we
going
to
set
aside
a
person
who's
infected
from
the
others?
So
it's
really
a
whole
rubric
of
decision
making
kind
of
a
decision-making
tree
in
which
we
consult
with
the
family.
I
B
Don't
see
any
so,
thank
you
very
much
and
again,
I.
Think,
given
the
interest
in
this
likely
makes
sense
to
schedule
some
time
on
that
June
4th
meeting
to
offer
any
updates
then
and
take
questions
as
well.
Thank
you
for
sure.
Thank
you
very
helpful.
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
I
think
we're
all
set
on
this
item.
F
Thank
you,
I
will
skip
the
testing
section
of
the
health
department,
given
that
Commissioner
Musa
can't
just
cover
most
of
it
and
go
on
to
PPE
PPE
supplies,
including
9100
cloth
masks,
are
currently
being
purchased,
with
both
council
and
mayoral
fund
63,000
allocated
and
of
April,
and
are
now
into
the
our
possession.
The
2,900
masks
were
in
stock
at
Central
store,
which
were
immediately
allocated
to
mPHA
for
distribution
at
the
high
risk
high-rise
buildings,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
mPHA
is
reporting.
F
The
equal
numbers
of
masks
went
to
all
of
their
buildings
and
were
able
to
serve
half
of
those
total
residents.
We
are
proactively
doing
outreach
to
some
of
the
other
lower-income
serving
organizations
serving
organizations
and
housing
locations,
including
a
on
ppl
youth,
lien,
Catholic,
Charities,
Cedar,
Riverside
area,
little
earth
and
other
subsidized
housing
sites
as
well.
On
coordination
efforts,
business
licensing
and
licensing
in
the
health
department's
food
lodging
and
pool
staff
are
working
quickly
to
help
malls
integrate
safe
retail
practices.
F
F
And
they're
also
working
with
clinics
and
health
systems
to
organize
covent
testing,
as
I
said
earlier,
in
the
Cedar
Riverside
area
and
with
other
communities
om,
the
city's
workforce
continues
to
maintain
normal
work
for
strength
and
essential
functions
of
government.
A
daily
rate
of
workers
on
duty
is
is
constant,
is
very
consistently
between
eighty
nine
percent
and
ninety-one
percent
of
the
total
workforce.
Approximately
seventy
nine
percent
of
workers
on
duty
are
working
remotely
and
that
excludes
both
police
and
fire.
Om
efforts
remain
focused
on
the
awareness
of
trends
impacts
and
the
health
of
our
residents.
F
Employees
through
the
community
strategy
procurement,
as
it
may
20th,
there
has
been
four
million
nine
hundred
twenty
four
thousand
two
or
ninety-one
spent
in
procurement.
The
total
procurement
amount
increased
by
one
hundred
forty
five
thousand
three:
seventy
with
two
main
contracts:
microsoft
licenses,
which
were
sixty
nine
thousand
six,
seventy,
which
is
IT
and
animal
shelter
boarding,
which
is
sixty
thousand.
I
want
to
be
really
really
clear.
This
procurement
that
I
just
mentioned.
This
is
not
the
total
spend
related
to
Kovan.
F
F
Then
the
week
of
June
1st
through
night,
their
office
will
work
with
finance
staff
and
department
heads
to
send
responsive
information
to
council
members
by
Tuesday
June
2nd
if
their
additional
requests
or
feedback
questions.
After
that
we
asked
it,
you
sent
him
over
to
Heidi
by
Thursday
June
4th.
We
want
to
get
you
every
bit
of
the
information
we're
just
trying
to
create
a
plan
of
making
it
happen.
F
Given
that
there's
a
whole
lot,
that
everybody's
staff
mayor's
office
council
members
everybody's
trying
to
bring
together
to
rally
to
meet
this,
these
deadlines
as
quickly
as
possible
and
then
we'll
return
that
those
responsible
to
council
members
on
Monday,
June,
8th
and
ask
the
council
members
provided
any
final
input
to
the
staff
by
Tuesday
to
unite
that.
I
know.
This
is
a
tight
timeline,
we're
all
operating
on
a
very
tight
timeline,
but
we
do
need
to
act
swiftly
and
I.
Very
much
appreciate
your
partnership.
F
B
Safety
mr.
mayor,
just
a
quick
comment
on
that
and
also
see
if
Katsaros
have
anything
else
to
ask
I
think
I
really
appreciate
your
office
and
it
was
received
for
putting
the
time
in
like
this
to
help
coordinate.
I,
know
often,
council
members
aren't
asking
questions
directly
of
Department
staff,
and
you
know,
of
course,
that
that
may
still
happen
on
some
circumstances.
B
But
often
you
know,
department,
heads
or
key
division,
directors
or
finance
staff
within
departments
get
a
lot
of
questions,
often
the
same
ones
from
multiple
council
members,
and
so
as
our
staff
work
so
hard
to
prepare
the
budgets
for
their
departments
and
to
work
with
your
office.
I
think
this
layer
will
help
us
both
have
that
transparency
and
accessibility
from
the
council
offices,
but
also
help
everyone
manage
their
time
and
make
sure
that
our
staff
have
the
adequate
time
that
they
will
need
to.
You
know:
do
all
the
preparations
for
their
own
budgets,
councilmember
Schrader,.
E
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
do
want
to
raise
a
concern
that
this
I
I
appreciate
the
thought
that's
gone
into
this
mayor.
I
really
think
that
it's
I,
it's
a
very
ambitious
timeline
and
the
the
main
concern
is,
if
there's
a
hiccup
anywhere
along
the
way,
it's
gonna
be
very,
very
difficult.
I
think
you've
stated
really
well
how
high
the
risks
are
and
I
just
kind
of
want
to
warn
that
this
little
overly
complex.
If
the
issue
is
staff
time
and
making
sure
our
valuable
staff
are
focusing
on
the
budget,
I
think
there's
another
way.
E
We
could
work
on
that
problem.
When
you
talk
about
all
the
materials
and
things
we're
going
to
be
needing
we're
going
to
need
data
at
a
deeper
level
and
much
quicker
than
we've
ever
had
to
do
that
before
so
I
think
some
of
my
one
of
my
suggestions,
I've
made
before,
is
instead
of
just
having
a
go
through
this.
This
process,
whatever
is
gonna,
be
sent
to
your
office
and
to
the
council
president
just
go
to
comes
all
council
members,
you
know
if
we,
if
we
can
all
see
the
same
data.
E
At
the
same
time,
we'll
be
able
to
keep
moving
on
it,
I
think
this
again
I
think
with
the
timeline.
If
something
goes
wrong
in
the
process,
we'll
know
when
it's
too
late,
whereas
if
we're
able
to
make
sure
that
everyone
has
all
the
same
data,
we
can
make
that
decision
and
be
responsible
to
our
constituents.
F
F
We
will
answer
your
questions,
we're
just
trying
to
do
so
with
in
an
organized
fashion,
and
you
know
I'll
note:
the
state
is
going
through
something
similar
right
now
they
don't
have
every
single
legislature,
legislature
that
gets
every
bit
of
information
as
soon
as
it
comes
in
they
have
representatives
just
like
we
have.
We
have
three
representatives
that
will
be
in
many
of
these
meetings.
We
will
all
four
of
us
disseminate
this
information
as
much
as
possible
and
as
quickly
as
possible,
but
it
helps
if
we're
able
to
do
it
through
some
form
of
structure.
E
Thank
you
for
that.
Mary
I
think
that's.
That
is
certainly
one
approach.
Another
approach
is
just
do
increase
the
transparency
if
we
are
going
to
be
worried
about
multiple
questions
from
elected
leaders,
if
I
see
just
like
when
I'm
talking
now
and
a
council
member
here's
one
of
their
points
set,
they
just
don't
bring
that
question
up.
If
someone
else
is
asking
a
question,
I
have
I'm
not
going
to
ask
it.
In
fact,
you
could
just
actually
give
the
answer.
E
You
were
going
to
give
to
one
of
my
colleagues
to
me
and
that
would
be
fine
I.
Think
the
your
point
about
the
state
I
have
the
same
frustrations
when
I
worked
as
an
advocate.
It
is
so
frustrating
and
it
is
very
hard
on
democracy
when
everything
is
behind
closed
doors
and
it's
a
few
number
of
people,
people's
voices
are
heard.
If
you
are
not
in
leadership,
then
you
are
cut
out
those
last
days
at
the
State
Capitol
I.
Certainly
don't
want
that
to
happen
here
on
the
city
level,.
F
Madam
President
councilmember
Schrader
I
reject
the
notion
that
everything
is
happening
behind
closed
doors
have
been
very
clear
to
the
council.
I've
been
clear
to
the
Star
Tribune
about
some
of
these
budget
shortfalls.
I've
talked
them
to
about
them
in
policy
group
meetings,
I've
talked
to
them
about
in
a
weekly
report
to
staff.
So
you
know
at
the
end
of
the
day,
I
think
it
is
part
of
our
obligation
collectively
to
be
disseminating
information
and
my
obligation
to
be
disseminating
information
to
you
and
the
council
as
readily
and
as
quickly
as
possible.
F
However,
it's
not
my
responsibility
to
pretend
that
my
hand
is
an
airplane
and
spoon-feed
it
to
you
that
responsibility
won't
come
up
until
probably
four
or
five
months
from
now,
when
I'm,
a
father
and
actually
it'll
probably
be
like
five
or
six
months
after
that,
at
which
point
the
baby
will
no
longer
be
nursing.
So
you
know
we're
all
on
board,
we're
all
on
board
to
provide
the
information.
This
is
going
to
be
a
difficult
process.
We're
gonna
get
through
together,
though.
F
E
Well,
mr.
mayor,
it's
something
that
it
when
things
are
when
you're
saying
they're,
not
behind
closed
doors,
we're
not
getting
the
same
information
we're
having
going
to
get
something
that
we
are
going
to
get
that
information
a
day
later,
two
days
later
hours
later,
all
that
matters
for
every
council,
member
and
their
office
to
take
a
look
at
with
all
due
respect.
What
is
going
to
be
different
than
what
that's
department
head
who's?
E
You
know
concerned
about
their
budget
concerned
about
their
hard-working
staff,
they're
going
to
give
you
the
best
they
can
I,
don't
see,
what's
going
to
happen
when
it
goes
through
this
process
and
comes
out
at
the
end
of
other
end,
I
don't
want
to
have
that
it
on
letterhead
and
that
to
take
hours,
if
we
can
have
access
to
that
material.
At
that
same
time,
I
really
don't
see
a
problem
and
I
think
that's
going
to
be
a
question
we're
going
to
get
from
our
constituents
as
well.
F
B
B
Many
of
you
have
mentioned
this
in
the
past,
including
used
mr.
mayor,
and
so
when
we
start
to
try
to
dive
into
our
existing
budget
and
the
way
that
we
will
likely
have
to
with
these
cuts.
It's
maybe
sometimes
a
little
harder
to
get
information
about.
Why
are
things
the
way
they
are
and
how
is
this
structured
and
could
we
think
about
it
differently?
B
So
I
don't
know
if
that's
more
schraeder,
if
you
want
to
comment
further,
but
that's
that's
what
I'm
hearing
from
the
councilmember
is
that
they'll
be
likely
questions
or
scenarios
like
that
that
would
come
up.
You
know
outside
of
these
particular
dates
that
have
been
set
up
so
I
think
if
my
perspective
has
been
if
we
can
handle
the
anticipated
questions
that
many
people
have.
B
E
You're,
confident
that's
a
it's.
An
important
distinction
and
I
want
to
be
very
clear,
like
I
feel
like
there's
going
to
be
kind
of
to
two
phases
of
this
there's
the
first
initial
phase,
where
all
of
the
data
from
our
departments
and
from
others
and
the
councilmember
questions
are
all
kind
of
hit
in
that
first
wave.
What
I'm
talking
about
there
is
just
just
getting
that
information,
not
not
having
it
go
through
multiple
people
when
the
department's
heads
are
sending
it.
They
just
copy
council
members
on
that.
E
No
I'm,
not
asking
you
know
to
your
analogy
mr.
mayor,
to
have
it
spoon-fed
or
digest
it
I'm.
Actually
saying
I
would
like
to
do
that.
Work
I'd
like
to
see
what
that
data
is
to
see
what
the
department
heads
are
saying
and
to
be
able
to
have
all
that
information
before
going
into
the
budget
and
having
that
as
early
as
possible,
it
is
going
to
be
critical
on
the
second
part,
no
I
think
it's,
and
maybe
that's
part
of
some
of
the
dis.
Like
misunderstanding
here,
I
would
say:
I'm
very
protective
of
staff.
Time.
E
I
think
we
need
to
be
using
them
for
what
they're,
in
those
jobs
for
for
their
expertise
for
their
experience,
and
the
last
thing
we
need
is
to
have
multiple
questions
and
I
completely
agree.
We
need
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
asking
the
same
questions
frankly,
I
think,
what's
going
to
be
most
helpful
for
me,
is
you
know
seeing
what
my
colleagues
ask
to
see
what
their
experience
leads
them
went
to
to
ask
and
what
their
constituents
and
their
view
of?
What's
going
to
make
this
city
great?
F
F
Schrader,
thank
you
for
the
input.
Yes,
we
will
get
you
the
information
as
soon
as
possible
and
I'll
note
that
that
was
part
of
the
reason
for
scheduling
these
council
meetings.
I
have
not
been
these
council.
These
meetings
with
individual
council
members
regarding
any
of
the
budgetary
shortfalls
I
have
not
been
briefed
at
this
point.
Beyond
that
you
know,
I
will
have
to
make
decisions.
F
B
Okay,
thank
you
and
I.
Do
you
know?
I
did
also
have
a
conversation
with
mr.
ruff
and
I
would
actually
welcome
folks
feedback
about
how
these
initial
round
of
briefings
have
gone
this
week.
So
one
option
would
be
for
us
to
maintain
a
schedule
of
weekly
briefings
with
council
members
again
in
those
they're.
The
information
that
was
shared
with
council
members
was
all
similar
or
equal
to
what
we
have
been
briefed
on
publicly,
but
it
gave
council
members
a
chance
to
ask
some
more
of
those
in-depth
questions.
B
H
Thank
you,
madam
president.
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
I
know
that
we
are
speaking
right
now
of
the
amending
the
2020
budget.
I
am
curious.
If
you
could,
please
explain
further.
Just
you
know
for
public
transparency.
How
does
this
impact
the
process
for
the
2021
budget,
because,
typically
right
now,
we
would
have
already
been
having
budget
meetings
where
departments
were
you
know,
presenting
and
so
I'm
just
curious
as
to
what
what
does
the
2021
budget
timeline
and
process
look
like
within
this
within
our
current
reality.
F
F
From
council
members
that
that
is
the
process
of
going
the
point
of
going
through
this
I
did
not
want
to
have
all
of
the
work
that
we
collectively
did
to
arrive
at
the
2020
budget
to
be
for
not
and
to
have
all
of
the
input
and
moves
that
you
made
to
then
be
unilaterally
changed.
We
still
do
have
a
process
where
the
mayor
proposes
a
budget,
of
course
with
input,
but
the
mayor
proposes
a
budget
and
then
the
council
can
amend
and
adopt
we're,
not
moving
away
from
that
process
for
purposes
of
2020.
F
It's
still,
it
still
is
my
ability
to
have
that
budget
to
make
changes
that
are
necessary
to
work
with
the
the
council,
representatives
on
that
body
and
then
ultimately,
to
present
I
want
to
be
clear.
There
is
a
reason
for
that
process
because
it
allows
for
efficiency,
especially
in
tight
times.
With
regard
to
the
2021
budget.
F
A
lot
of
this
work
will
be
happening
almost
simultaneously
to
councilmember
Cunningham's
questions.
The
work
of
the
2020
budget
will
not
directly
impact
the
work
for
the
2020
21,
but
you
are
right.
Councilmember
there
is
perhaps
an
indirect
impact
due
to
financial
constraints.
As
far
as
the
process
goes,
we
will
present
the
amended
2020
budget
on
June
12th.
F
So
that's
how
the
process
will
work.
This
is
going
to
be
a
big
lift
for
council
members
for
the
mayor's
office
for
staff,
and
so
you
know
this
is
really
important
that
we
work
together
on
this
one,
because
I
cannot
emphasize
enough
how
much
work
will
go
into
understanding
what
the
data
points
say:
understanding
our
financial
constraints
and
then
making
changes
based
on
what
we've
learned.
B
J
I,
don't
know
that
it's
real
productive
here,
you
know
in
general
staff
really
need
to
focus
on
providing
support
to
our
budget
office
right
now
and
then
to
our
mayor
to
prepare
a
budget
and
there's
not
enough
bandwidth
to
respond
to
14
policymakers
during
that
time,
but
that's
not
to
say
that
we
can't
have
a
greater
level
of
information.
This
is
an
amendment
to
an
existing
budget,
so
we
have
hundreds
of
pages
of
that
budget
online,
as
does
the
public.
So
it's
not
like
we're
going
through.
J
It
seems
like
a
condensed
process,
but
please
understand
we
are
not
going
through
a
full
entire
budget
cycle
here
in
the
month
of
June.
This
is
really
just
changes
to
what
is
already
published
and
online.
What
I
wanted
to
say
specific
to
councilmember
Cunningham's
question
is
about
the.
There
will
be
a
continuum
right.
We
all
know
that
we
are
looking
at
dramatic
cuts.
J
It
might
come
to
the
need
to
do
incentivize
retirements
and
that's
not
actually
an
effective
strategy
to
make
budgetary
cuts.
That
will
work
for
the
rest
of
this
year.
But
it's
absolutely
a
strategy
that
we
need
to
look
at
for
the
2021
budget
and
that's
one
small
example.
But
that
is
something
that's
the
kind
of
thing
that
will
bleed
over
into
the
2021
budget,
from
this
kind
of
look
very
serious.
Look
at
making
serious
cuts
within
our
city
enterprise,
so
I
just
wanted
to
mention
that
thanks.
K
But
what
gives
me
faith
and
hope
is
that
we've
picked
leaders
in
council
president
bender
and
vice
president
Jenkins,
as
well
as
the
mayor
who
many
of
us
have
worked
with
in
the
past,
to
try
to
lead
us
through
this
process
and
it's
time
for
the
rest
of
us
to
let
them
lead
and
to
ask
them
to
give
us
some
direction.
As
we
face
a
difference
between
where
our
heads
are
at
and
where
our
hearts
are
at.
K
It's
going
to
be
a
very
horribly
difficult
process
to
go
through
reducing
this
kind
of
funding
from
the
city's
budget.
It
will
be
between
bad
and
tragic,
and
our
staff
are
working.
What
was
10
hour
days
now,
12
hour
days,
I
have
gotten
emails
from
staff
at
2:00
in
the
morning.
Stressed
about
how
restaurants
are
going
to
move
forward.
I've
received
emails
at
midnight
from
staff
worried
about
the
level
of
unemployment
in
our
city
and
who
those
people
are
who
are
unemployed.
K
Our
people
are
working
twice
as
hard
as
many
in
the
community
to
try
to
address
the
needs
of
so
many
people
who
are
hurting
right
now.
So
I
would
just
encourage
us
to
remember
that
we
picked
our
leadership.
We
asked
them
to
lead
us
that
doesn't
mean
that
we
shouldn't
provide
feedback,
attend
meetings,
prepared
and
ready
to
go
to
ask
questions,
but
we
should
do
that
recognizing
that
a
handful
of
people
have
stuck
stepped
up
to
be
in
charge.
K
K
People
together
and
I
want
to
remind
us
that
this
emergency
is
one
at
which
we
need
to
lead,
but
we
also
have
to
agree
to
be
led,
and
so
please,
you
know
thank
a
staff
person
today
for
the
work
that
they're
doing
and
let's
remember
that
we're
in
this
together
and
trying
to
come
collectively
to
making
this
decision
is
going
to
make
it
a
lot
easier.
Thank
you.
E
It
comes
posed
and
and
Thank
You
councilmember
Goodman,
like
I
I,
will
be
very,
very
brief
and
then
just
know
that
you
know
my
intention
for
getting
that
information
is
making
sure
we
all
can
come
together
in
that
unity
yeah.
Let
you
talk
to
bucks.
I,
think
that
this
I
completely
agree.
That
now
is
an
opportunity
for
all
of
us
to
come
together.
B
Where
are
our
priorities
and
what
is
an
essential
city
service
and
some
of
the
old
assumptions
about
those
questions
may
be
very
different
now
and
I
think
we
see
this
playing
out
right
now
at
the
county
as
there
you
know,
potential
closures
of
buildings
and
many
of
which
are
in
communities
of
color
in
Minneapolis
and
the
leadership
that
we
have
from
the
county,
commissioners
that
are
now
representing
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis.
You
know
raising
important
questions
about
about
some
of
those
values
in
their
in
their
budget.
B
F
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
thank
you
to
all
of
the
council
members
for
your
input
here.
I
I
do
appreciate
it.
These
will
be
difficult
times
and
I
understand
that
your
willingness
to
provide
input
to
get
all
of
the
information
as
soon
as
possible
is
is
really
a
true
heartfelt
desire
to
do
right
by
your
constituents
in
the
city
and
and
I
feel
the
exact
same
way.
F
I'll
move
on
to
public
safety
now
with
MPD
trends,
a
property
crime
they're
still
up
this
week
at
about
14
percent
as
our
auto
theft
steps
up.
Forty
eight
point:
six
percent
I've
described
a
previous
council
meeting,
some
of
the
the
reasonings
and
once
again,
a
gentle
reminder
to
not
leave
your
vehicle
running
unattended.
Even
for
a
minute
gun
crime.
There
were
15
gun
recoveries.
F
This
week,
citywide
and
year-to-date
412
guns
have
been
recovered
in
response
to
the
eight
gun
shot
victims,
which
happened
this
week
alone,
the
C's
community
trauma
response
work
group
led
by
office
of
violence
prevention,
director,
sash,
cotton,
councilmember,
Cunningham
and
Jen
white
from
my
office
held
an
emergency
meeting
to
implement
elements
of
this
response
plan.
In
addition,
next
step,
hospital
based
intervention
has
been
in
contact
with
many
of
the
victims.
F
Excuse
me
to
provide
services
next
on
enforcement
of
the
governor's
stay-at-home
order.
There
remains
no
citations
or
arrests
to
date
by
Minneapolis
Police
Department,
with
the
governor
stay
at
home
order
ending
on
May
18th
traffic
control,
modified
their
outreach
and
will
drive
with
lights
around
the
perimeter
of
park.
Areas
to
provide
a
passive
presence,
information
and
updates
will
continue
to
be
shared
with
the
Minneapolis
Park
and
Recreation
Board.
The
fire
departments
run.
F
Volume
remains
consistent
with
a
slight
uptick
related
to
the
relaxation
of
the
stay
at
home
order
and
more
people
enjoying
the
warmer
weather
and
outdoor
activities.
The
department
continues
its
ongoing
efforts
around
community
outreach
and
education.
As
it
mentioned
earlier,
the
fire
department
is
collaborating
with
OEM
for
the
distribution
of
collection
containers
to
the
fire
stations
for
the
planned
mass
drive
schedule,
the
Memorial
Day.
F
The
containers
will
be
collected
next
Tuesday
and
returns
to
be
OT
F
for
later
distribution
to
support
the
latest
emergency
regulation
on
state
and
federal
activity,
I'll,
try
and
pare
this
down
as
much
as
possible.
There
has
been
a
lot.
The
legislature
concluded
its
regular
session
at
midnight
on
Sunday
and
disappointingly
many
critical
issues
important
to
the
city
remain
unresolved.
Both
House
Speaker,
Portman
and
Senate
Majority
Leader
gazelka
acknowledged
a
special
session
is
almost
certain.
F
Only
the
governor
has
the
authority
to
call
a
special
session,
but
the
peacetime
emergency
declaration,
which
is
set
to
expire
on
June
12th,
the
executive
and
legislative
branches
need
to
come
together
to
address
the
emergency
and
other
unfinished
businesses
business.
So
we
anticipate
that
that
date
will
be
set,
will
will
be
the
start
of
this
specialist
session
being
read
well:
kovat
fund,
kovat
relief
fund
and
local
governments
and
decisions
on
how
to
distribute
the
available
667
million
in
aid
from
the
state
to
local
governments,
and
this
is
in
the
form
of
the
cares
Act.
F
F
Before
the
session
concluded,
there
have
been
a
few
formula
proposals
presented
by
both
the
Senate
and
the
house,
but
negotiations
continue
as
lawmakers
weigh
how
to
distribute
funds
across
the
state
while
taking
into
consideration
areas
that
are
more
impacted
by
covent
than
others,
the
Minneapolis
delegation,
and
have
been
working
closely
with
IG
our
staff
to
advocate
for
the
city's
interests
and
needs
I
mentioned
last
week
that
I've
been
in
conversation
with
Commissioner
Ballard
family
from
the
Minnesota
Department
of
Revenue
speaker
Hortman.
Along
with
our
delegation,
we
are
hopeful
that
we
will
receive
funding
soon.
F
Neither
the
House
or
Senate
bonding
bills
made
it
off
the
floor.
The
House
GOP
could
not
support
the
size
of
the
House
proposal,
claiming
it's
too
large
in
the
Senate
DFL
could
not
support
the
size
of
the
proposals
well,
claiming
it
was
too
small.
The
governor
sent
majority
leader,
gazelka
and
speaker
Hortman
have
all
said
that
a
bonding
bill
is
top
priority
for
the
special
session
and
negotiations
between
the
two
bodies
are
underway.
F
Regarding
workers,
compensation
workers,
comp
claims
are
mounting,
given
the
possibility
of
contraction
on
the
job
workers
comp
bills,
we're
moving
through
both
bodies
during
the
final
days
of
session,
including
a
bill
with
the
recommendation
of
the
workers
comp
Advisory
Council.
Unfortunately,
a
final
decision
was
not
made
as
there
is
disagreement
around
the
interpretation
of
the
guidance
from
the
United
States
Treasury
around
the
use
of
Kerr's
Act
funding
for
workers,
compensation,
federal
heroes
Act,
as
I
mentioned
last
Friday,
the
House
of
Representatives
proposed
a
three
trillion
dollar
relief
package
called
the
heroes
Act.
F
F
Homelessness,
the
conversation
around
our
unsheltered
neighbors
in
the
home
and
homeless
homelessness
remains
a
priority.
We
continue
to
monitor
opportunities
for
the
city
to
support
our
partners
and
we're
happy
to
see
earlier
this
week
that
the
help
that
the
Hennepin
County
Board
authorized
the
acquisition
of
hotel
property
as
protective
housing
for
people
experiencing
homelessness
or
county
dependent
individuals
with
underlying
health
issues.
This
is
a
big
move
and
this
is
the
type
of
activity
we'll
need
to
engage
in
over
the
difficult
budget
times
that
are
coming.
F
This
is
an
area
where
I
am
committed
to
leveraging
the
city,
expertise
and
limited
funding
with
our
partners
to
make
to
make
progress.
You
know
I
want
to
save
some
time
and
not
focus
too
much
on
the
gap.
Funding
package
I'll
skip
buy
most
of
it,
but
what
I
will
say
is
that
is
that
the
Apple,
the
applicants
have
been
sent
information
by
email
or
mail
outlining
the
next
step
in
the
process,
including
a
timeline
update
there
I
think
there's
been
approximately
450
of
the
first
thousand.
F
Applicants
for
emergency
housing
assistance
program
have
been
referred
to
the
community
prevention
partners
and
the
first
500
applicants
to
stable
home,
stable
schools
have
been
referred
to
mPHA
to
complete
the
process
for
the
forgivable
loan
program.
I
mean
the
next
slide.
I
believe
are.
The
final
batch
of
loans
are
being
issued
this
week
and
we
anticipate
releasing
complete
data
via
dashboard
next
week.
F
F
Minneapolis,
employment
and
training
team
has
reported
higher
participation
in
workforce
training
by
youth
and
adults.
Our
team
has
offered
more
than
13
virtual
job
fairs,
even
the
states
for
career
seekers
they.
There
are
currently
approximately
51,000
open
positions
in
our
market
and
we
are
actively
working
with
employers
who
are
hiring
finally
rebuilding
and
recovering
through
our
safe
opening
and
phased
rebuilding
initiative.
Minneapolis
forward,
we
are
working
across
the
enterprise
to
move
through
and
emerge
from.
This
pandemic
is
a
stronger
or
equitable
inclusive,
resilient
and
innovative
City.
F
Rebuilding
the
economy
is
going
to
be
a
central
component
of
Minneapolis
board
and
how
we
are
responding
to
responding
to
governor
Wallace's,
stay
safe,
executive
order,
allowing
restaurants
bars,
salons
and
barbershops
to
begin
safely,
opening
for
business
on
June
1st.
As
we
know
there
have
been
additional
restrictions
that
have
been
made
to
that
sense.
We
are
working
on
creative
solutions
to
keep
our
workers
and
customers
safe,
including
unique,
spacing
opportunities
and
we'll
have
guidance
for
businesses.
F
Hopefully,
that
should
be
available
early
next
week
and
I
know
many
of
you
and
council
staff
have
been
working
to
shape
and
guide
this
process
and
I'm
very
grateful
for
your
work
and
grateful
for
your
support
and
partnership.
Thank
you
all.
Thank
you
for
the
partnership.
Thank
you
for
the
time,
I
appreciate
the
intensity
of
the
situation.
I
know
you
all
are
feeling
it
as
I'm
feeling
it
as
well
and
know
we're
all
going
to
get
through
this
together
happy
to
answer
any
questions
in
that
present.
Thank.
B
You
mr.
mayor
I'll
see
if
there's
any
questions
from
Council
members,
bolli
wait.
I
will
just
underscore
and
thank
our
IG,
our
staff
and
others
your
office
for
all
the
work
that's
happening
with
the
legislative
session.
This
year,
I've
been
a
little
concerned
by
some
of
the
press
press
coverage
of
the
legislative
discussions
around.
B
That
cares
act
funds
which
seem
to
indicate
that
Hennepin
and
Ramsey
County
and
the
local
governments
within
them
are
asking
for
more
funds
when
the
bill
that
was
proposed
initially
to
distribute
care
that
funds
would
actually
give
Hennepin
and
Ramsey
County
residents
less
than
half
per
capita
than
the
rest
of
the
state.
So
certainly
some
local
governments,
including
I,
would
say
Minneapolis
Bloomington,
others
in
Hennepin,
County
but
other
also
tourist
destinations
and
other
places
around
the
state
have
more
economic
impact.
B
Some
locations
have
more
need
related
to
Coe
bid,
but
the
bill
itself,
as
proposed,
did
not
even
use
a
fair
distribution
of
funds
based
on
a
per
capita
calculation.
So
I
know
our
staff
have
been
working
really
hard
to
correct
that
misinformation
and
to
get
the
correct
information
out
there
and
appreciate
all
their
efforts.
B
As
well
as
our
legislative
delegation
that
is
working
really
hard
to
get
a
fair
distribution
of
that
care,
Zach
dollars
in
a
timely
way,
you
know
we
saw
the
mayor
of
Toulouse
has
been
commenting
widely,
that
there
is
an
urgency
to
all
of
us
in
local
government,
not
just
here
in
Minneapolis
around
the
state
to
get
those
dollars
where
they
need
to
be
in
the
community.
So,
thanks
again
to
all
of
the
folks
in
our
delegation
and
our
own
staff
and
those
you
know
of
us,
who've
been
working
to
to
get
that
result.
Thank
you.

well,
for
the
benefit
of
the

You,
madam
president,
I,
am
so
honored
to
bring
this
forward
with
councilmember
Allison
to
not
only
recognize
Asian
Pacific,
Islander,
Heritage
Month,
but
to
also
raise
and
praise
and
celebrate
the
creation
of
an
employee
resource
group.
As
you
said,
they
are
critical
resources
for
our
employees
and
so
I'm
grateful
to
be
able
to
bring
this
forward
and
and
celebrate
this
with
them.
H
Employee
resource
groups
offer
city
staff
the
opportunity
to
collaborate
with
colleagues
and
city
leaders
to
help
achieve
the
city
of
Minneapolis.
Is
racial
equity,
hiring
goals
and
improve
the
workplace
by
promoting
policies,
practices
that
are
free
of
racial
discrimination
and
to
improve
the
mission
of
the
city
of
Minneapolis
to
serve
all
residents
in
the
city
and
I
will
now
pass
it
over
to
councilmember
Allison.
L
H
Thank
You
councilmember
I
also
just
would
like
to
add
that
this
was
important
for
councilmember,
Allison
and
I
to
bring
forward
because
North
Minneapolis
has
the
largest
concentration,
Asian,
Pacific
American
folks,
particularly
Southeast
Asian,
and
so
I
am
very
grateful
to
be
able
to
be
a
representative
of
such
a
powerful
amazing
community
and
we
are
lucky,
didn't
call
them
our
neighbors
here
in
North
Minneapolis
and
stand
alongside
them
during
these
challenging
times.
We
do
have.
H
A
M
M
M
These
are
unprecedented
times
and
we
are
all
feeling
that,
but
your
leadership
is
much
appreciated
as
we
guide
through
these
difficult
times
together.
Mr.
mayor
I
wanted
to
say
a
special
thank
you
to
you
and
the
police
chief,
when
you
sent
out
the
message
earlier
to
the
community
that
you
are
here
to
support
and
would
not
accept
any
hate
and
have
positive
environment
for
everybody,
who's
in
the
city
and
in
the
community.
M
So
I
really
appreciate
everyone's
commitment
from
the
spoof
to
continue
to
provide
a
work,
respectful
workforce,
that's
free
of
racial
discrimination
and
their
opportunities
for
both
for
the
workforce
and
the
community
to
connect
with
the
city
resources.
I
would
also
like
to
thank
miss
patience,
Ferguson
mass
well,
McCorkle
and
other
ERG
in
the
city
who
have
been
instrumental
with
their
support
in
the
formation
of
this
group.
The
city
leadership
has
paved
the
way
for
this
community
and
this
resource
group
to
come
up,
be
visible
and
seek
the
visible
support
from
you
all.
M
So
there
has
been
much
appreciation
for
that.
Also
I
would
like
to
thank
a
lot
of
staff
who
has
worked
behind
the
scenes
for
the
creation
of
this
ERG
group.
I
think
it
takes
a
whole
village
to
get
things
done
so
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
those
team
members
and
our
partnership
with
the
communications
and
other
energies
that
we
stand
here
and
with
all
your
support
to
move
forward.
So
again,
I'll
be
short.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
your
continued
support.
B
B
I,
don't
see
any
thank
you
both
MS
Li
and
Miss
Mahajan
for
being
with
us
today,
and
for
your
work
in
helping
lead
and
establish
this
new
employee
resource
group.
We
look
forward
to
supporting
it
blossoming
into
the
future.
I
do
see
health
Laura,
Johnson
and
Q
to
speak
to
item
1.
Tell
us
more
johnson.
Thank.
D
You,
madam
president,
I
just
didn't,
want
this
item
to
pass
without
saying
anything
about
it,
but
so
many
of
us
look
forward
to
pride
every
single
year
and
obviously
with
everything
going
on
with
the
pandemic.
The
celebrations
won't
be
quite
the
same,
but
there
will
be
celebrations
going
on
and
I
think
this
is
is,
is
an
item
I
want
to
comment
you
because
it's
something
I
look
forward
to
reading
with
you
all
every
year.
B
K
J
E
C
B
B
B
I
don't
see
any
so
with
that
we
have
concluded
all
of
our
items
from
today's
agenda.
We
do
have
the
word
work
week
coming
up
next
week,
so
I
hope
folks
will
get
a
little
time
to
either
get
caught
up
on
work
items
which
have
I'm
sure
piled
up
as
we
have
this
more
rapid
possible
schedule
cycle
and
also
take
some
time
for
rest
and
caring
for
yourselves
and
others.
I
know
that
this
is
a
really
stressful
time,
for
so
many,
and
so
both
of
those
things
are
important.
