The
record
reflect
that
we
do
have
quorum.
Colleagues,
we
have
18
items
on
the
agenda
today,
including
a
presentation
and
three
discussion
items
at
the
end
of
the
agenda.
I
will
ask
committee
chairs
if
they
have
any
items
of
note
that
we
that
have
come
through
their
committee
that
council
members
may
want
to
be
particularly
aware
of.
So
if
that
is
a
issue,
please
be
prepared
to
provide
updates
from
your
committees.
B
B
So
today
we
have
18
agendas,
18
items
on
the
agenda
and
we'll
begin
with
item
number
one,
which
is
a
public
hearing
on
an
ordinance
extending
the
term
of
the
existing
cable
franchise
agreement
with
centurylink
from
june
30
2020
to
december
16,
2020
and
we'll
start
with
a
staff
presentation,
and
I
believe
that
it
will
be
introduced
by
c
john
harrison
in
the
communications
department.
Mr
harrison.
G
Thank
you,
chair
jenkins
committee
members,
cj
harrison
from
the
communications
department.
The
item
before
you
is
amending
the
minneapolis
cable
communications,
franchise,
appendix
h,
chapter
2
between
the
city
of
minneapolis
and
centerlink,
extending
the
term
of
the
existing
cable
franchise
agreement
to
december
16
2020.
Here.
To
give
a
brief
presentation,
is
our
cable
attorney
mike
bradley.
H
Thank
you
cj
and
good
afternoon.
Council
members,
like
cj,
said
my
name
is
mike
bradley,
I'm
with
bradley
law
and
I've
been
the
long
time
outside
counsel
of
the
city
of
minneapolis
on
cable
franchise
matters.
Today
we
have
a
what
I
think
is
a
very
simple
cable
franchise
amendment
to
the
centurylink
cable
franchise.
H
That
look
extends
the
cable
franchise
through
december
16th
to
2020,
and
today
we're
going
to
have
a
public
hearing
on
this,
and
I'd
like
to
give
you
just
a
brief
background
of
the
centurylink
franchise
and
then
show
you
what
we're
changing
on
the
on
the
existing
cable
franchise
for
centurylink
and
if
cj
you'd
go
to
the
next
slide.
Please
so,
just
for
the
public's
background
and
your
background
council
members
centurylink
in
the
city
of
minneapolis,
entered
into
a
franchise
agreement
in
may
of
2015.
H
It
was
for
a
five-year
term
a
while
back
centurylink
indicated
that
it
was
going
to
be
terminating
its
cable
service
and,
as
a
result,
we
ended
up
entering
into
a
settlement
agreement
between
the
city
and
centurylink
in
april
of
2020
here,
and
we
addressed
three
primary
issues
in
that
settlement.
Agreement
first
was
the
protection
of
cable
subscribers.
H
We
required
centurylink
to
provide
information
on
how
to
replace
their
cable
services,
and
then
we
also
require
that
that
subscribers
not
be
charged
for
any
equipment
return.
If
it
was
made
within
30
days
of
termination
of
service,
we
also
had
provisions
protecting
the
city
relating
to
any
facilities
that
centurylink
had,
that
was
for
the
provision
of
cable
services.
Only.
H
We
don't
think
there
are
many
if,
if
any
facilities
that
are
only
related
to
the
provision
of
cable
service,
but
we
did
address
that
in
the
settlement
agreement
and
finally,
we
addressed
the
the
termination
of
the
franchise
itself
and
require
that
centurylink
waive
any
renewal
rights
that
that
it
would
have
under
the
federal
cable
act
so
that
the
city
wouldn't
incur
any
additional
expenses
in
september
of
2020
centurylink
provided
a
notice
of
intent
to
terminate
prism
television
and
that
termination
date
is
december.
H
16Th
in
that
notice,
the
the
notice
was
consistent
with
the
settlement
agreement
in
how
subscribers
would
return
equipment,
so
centurylink
will
be
providing
mailing
kits
for
subscribers
to
mail
back
their
equipment
to
centurylink
at
no
cost
to
the
subscriber,
but
subscribers
aren't
required
to
return
the
equipment.
They
won't
be
charged
any
fees
if
they
do
not,
but
they
will
be
responsible
for
the
for
disposing
of
that
equipment
if
they
choose
that
option,
similar
notices
were
given
throughout
the
twin
cities
to
all
the
different
franchising
authorities,
all
relating
to
a
december
16th
termination
date.
H
I
should
note
that
centurylink,
while
they're
terminating
their
cable
service
products,
they
will
continue
to
provide
internet
and
phone
services
in
the
city
as
they
have
been
for
many
years.
This
is
a
nationwide
development
for
centurylink.
They
are
terminating
cable
service
across
the
country
between
now
and
the
first
quarter
of
2021.
H
So
what
what
the
proposed
franchise
extension
ordinance
will
do
is
really.
It
couldn't
be
any
simpler,
we're
simply
deleting
the
old
termination
date
and
inserting
a
new
one
and
that's
december
16
2020,
which
is
consistent
with
how
centurylink
is
terminating
its
service
across
the
twin
cities,
footprint
and
again
it's
to
give
centurylink
more
time
to
repair
customers
for
the
termination
of
his
cable
service,
but
then
also
to
allow
the
cable
service
to
terminate
across
the
twin
cities
area
all
at
the
same
time,
on
december
16,
20,
20,
20.
H
H
B
I'm
sorry,
are
there
any
questions
for
the
presenter
and
thank
you
for
that
background.
H
B
Seeing
none
from
my
colleagues,
I
will
go
ahead
and
then
open
the
public
hearing
and
I
don't
believe,
there's
anyone
registered
as
139
have
we
had
any
buddy
sign
up
to
speak
to
this
issue.
B
B
C
I
D
E
J
Wait

C
B
B
Eyes

and
that
recommendation
will
be
referred
to
the
city
council
meeting
on
friday
for
final
action.
B
Next,
we
have
our
consent

which
is

through
15
on
the

items

2
through

B
That
item
carries
and
the
consent
agenda
is
approved
so
for
discussion.
Colleagues,
item
number
16.
C
B
Related
to
the
retirement
incentive
plans
for
2020
and
21,
we
did
have
a
presentation
on
this
item
in
our
last
meeting,
but
the
body
continued
it
for
one
cycle
so
that
staff
could
do
more
work
on
this
proposed
incentive
plan,
and
this
cougar
from
our
human
resources
department
is
on
hand
to
update
us
on
this
item.
K
I
am
good
afternoon
council
vice
president
jenkins
city
council
members.
Again,
my
name
is
deb
kruger,
I'm
with
the
human
resources
department.
I
do
have
a
brief
presentation
to
give
to
you
this
afternoon
on
the
retirement
incentive
plan
for
city
employees,
starting
in
2020
continuing
into
2021.
K
next
slide,
please
just
as
a
quick
summary
overview.
The
2020
early
retirement
incentive
plan
was
originally
presented
at
the
september
30th
policy
and
government
oversight
committee
meeting
delayed
one
committee
cycle.
K
We
did
have
to
resolve
an
issue
with
a
conflicting
existing
retirement
incentive
and
one
collective
bargaining
agreement
which
has
since
been
resolved
next
slide
and
over
the
last
two
weeks,
as
we
were
resolving
that
potential
conflict
with
sort
of
double
dipping
with
retirement
incentives.
We
did
have
an
opportunity
to
hear
from
some
employees
who
watched
the
last
pogo
meeting
and
provided
some
feedback
to
the
human
resources
department
and
really
they
get
sort
of
the
consistent
message
that
we
got
and
again
it
wasn't
a
great
deal.
K
It
was,
you
know,
less
than
a
dozen
employees,
but
their
one
common
concern
was
around
what
they
thought
was
a
short
timeline
to
to
make
it
a
sort
of
a
life-changing
decision
and
and
immediate
separation
by
the
end
of
the
year.
So,
as
we
talked
through
that
we
are
coming
today
with
some
resolution
amendments
three
resolution,
amendments
that
we
would
like
to
have
considered
for
final
approval
at
the
city
council
meeting
on
friday
change
number
one
is
extending
the
timeline
for
plans,
one
and
two
and
just
as
a
reminder
plan.
K
And
again,
we
took
kind
of
a
balanced
approach
and
looking
at
how
how
long
of
a
an
extension
we
should
provide
and
the
balanced
approaches
is
looking
at
you
know,
sort
of
the
employees
needs
to
have
what
is
considered
in
in
para.
K
The
best
so
best
planning
is
three
months
for
retirement
planning
and
the
needs
that
for
employees
in
that
arena,
as
well
as
balancing
the
the
enterprise
needs
and
realizing
you
know,
additional
cost
savings
through
vacancies
in
2021
and
felt
that
that
three
month,
consideration
period,
which
is
the
advice
of
pera
our
pension
plan
and
so
extending
it
out
30
days,
would
give
roughly
a
three-month
consideration
period.
So
that
is
the
first
change
in
the
resolution
so
change
the
three
month.
K
I
believe
it
was
december
20th
previously
and
then
allow
for
a
later
retirement
date
instead
of
december
31st
of
2020.
It
would
separate
last
separation
date
would
be
january,
29th
of
2021.
K
next
slide.
The
second
amendment
change
to
the
resolutions
is
for
all
three
plans,
and
again
it
was
just.
It
was
things
that
came
up
over
the
last
two
weeks
and
it's
they're
very
minor
changes,
but
the
first
one
was
redefining
what
full-time
employee
means,
which
is
one
of
the
criteria
to
be
eligible
for
the
retirement
plan,
and
this
would
be
for
all
three
plans
and
it
was
really
just
changing
the
one,
a
sentence
to
make
it
consistent
with
how
full-time
how
full-time
is
defined
in
the
collective
bargaining
agreements.
K
So
the
specific
change
was
to
change
it
to
say
from
full-time
employees
are
those
who
are
.80
or
greater
fte
to
employees
who
work
a
standard
working,
30
hours
or
more
per
week.
It
does
not
change
the
eligibility
numbers.
It
just
makes
the
the
language
consistent
with
our
collective
bargaining
agreements,
and
then
the
last
change
was
at
the
advice
of
our
legal
department
to
add
in
a
clause
around
what
would
happen.
K
Should
an
employee
separate
under
the
retirement
incentive
and
and
and
become
deceased
prior
to
payment
of
incentive,
and
so
we
added
some
language
in
that.
Should
that
happen
should
that
if
an
employee
should
die
after
separation,
but
before
payment
would
be
paid
out
to
the
employees
of
state
so
just
to
cover
that
legal
aspect.
So
those
are
the
three
changes
that
we
are
are
proposing
to
the
resolutions
that
were
presented
at
our
la
at
the
last
pogo
meeting
and
then
the
next
slide.
K
It's
just
a
revised
timeline.
We're
looking
hoping
to
have
you
know,
city
count
move
this
this.
This
move
to
city
council
for
adoption
on
friday
october
16th,
at
which
point
we
would
begin
all
employee
communications
on
the
plans
october
21st.
We
would
plan
to
send
all
eligibility
notices
to
eligible
employees
to
their
home
address
on
wednesday
october
21st,
which
starts
their
notification
period.
K
K
We
originally
stated
that
we
would
send
eligibility
documents
to
their
homes
no
later
than
february
8th
and
we
are
bumping
that
up
to
give
them
a
30-day
consideration
period
as
well,
so
we're
looking
at
sending
those
documents
out
to
those
employees
in
early
january
instead
of
early
february
and
then
holding
information
sessions
in
january.
The
rest
of
the
timeline
is
the
same.
Employees
would
submit
their
participation
form
late
march
to
early
april
with
retirement
dates
between
april
14th
and
april
30th.
B
Thank
you
so
much
ms
krueger
looks
like
we
do
have
a
question
or
a
comment
from
councilmember
schrader.
A
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
No,
I
do
have
a
question.
One
of
the
concerns
I've
heard
from
employees
that
would
actually
would
qualify
for
these
plans
was
that
they
wouldn't
take
the
early
retirement
because
they
would
lose
too
much
from
their
para
accounts.
Could
you
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
that
and
see?
If
and
let
us
know
if
that's
been.
K
Addressed
madam
chair
councilmember
schroeder,
I'm
not
sure
I
understand
the
question
or
what
the
concern
is
lose
too
much.
A
Oh
nope,
no
problem,
I
basically
it
was
someone
that,
because
of
their
age,
they
wouldn't
get
the
full
payout
from
their
per
account
until
they
reach
age
66.
So
if
they
took
early
retirement
they
they
would
be
not
getting
the
full
amount,
they
would
lose
too
much
by
re.
They
would
in
essence
seem
to
be
retiring
early,
or
at
least
that
was
their
understanding
of
that.
A
Maybe
you
could
speak
a
little
bit
more
to
that
concerns
or
talk
a
little
bit
if
that
has
been
worked
out
or
how
that
kind
of
meshes
so
they're
not
losing
so
there's.
No,
I
just
want
to
make
sure
there
isn't
a
disincentive
for
these
plants.
They're
taking
early
retirement.
K
Yes,
my
damn
chair,
councilmember
schrader,
I
and
I
can
certainly
follow
up
with
our
with
our
benefits
director,
but
my
understanding
it
isn't.
I
mean
it
is
an
early
retirement
incentive,
generally
individuals
who
would
consider
taking
this
they've,
been
thinking
about
retirement
or
are
thinking
about
retiring.
You
know
soon,
for
instance,
I
I'll
use
myself
as
a
personal
as
a
personal
example.
I
am
also
eligible.
K
I
am
nowhere
near
retirement
age,
though
from
an
age
perspective,
but
I've
got
the
years
of
service
with
the
city
and
while
I
could
certainly
take
the
incentive,
because
I
am
eligible
under
a
rule
of
75,
my
election
would
be
not
to
draw
up
my
my
monthly
pension
amount.
I
keep
my
money
in
pera
and
then
decide
to
withdraw
that
money
and
start
taking
my
monthly
pair
of
pension.
K
When
I
reached
an
age
where
it's
an
unreduced
amount,
you
know
eight,
whether
that's
age,
62
65
66
from
whenever
you
were
you
know,
whenever
you
were
hired,
if
you
were
hired
under
rule
of
90
or
or
something
else,
so
that
is
up
to
the
employee,
whether
or
not
they
want
to
draw
their
pension
amount.
Yes,
at
age
55,
it
is
reduced
pension
amount,
but
they
can
leave
their
money
in
para
and
and
start
drawing
that
pension
amount
when
they
choose.
A
Thank
you
for
that,
and
just
as
the
follow-up
have
you
were
kind
of
considered
a
face
retirement,
because
this
was
a
suggestion
of
the
employee
where
they
that's
something
they
would
look
look
to
because
of
that
working
working
less
at
a
reduced
amount
and
doing
in
kind
of
like
easing
into
retirement,
but
still
having
kind
of
that
as
an
option.
Assuming
that
they
would
still
that
their
goal
would
be
to
to
realize
the
full
pair
of
benefits.
K
Yeah
madame
chair
against
memphis
trader
phase
retirement
is
already
an
option
at
the
city,
and
the
the
employee
would
just
simply
have
to
work
with
their
department.
It
is
approval,
is
at
the
discretion
of
the
of
the
department,
and
so
they
there's
a
form
on
city
talk.
You
know
an
application
that
they
can
fill
out
and
have
that
conversation
with
their
department
around
phase
retirement.
That
is
already
an
option.
B
I
do
want
to
thank
staff
as
they
work
through
the
many
details
and
and
address
some
of
the
concerns
that
employees
expressed
very
responsive,
and
we
really
appreciate
that.
So
I
will
move
approval
with
the
revisions
as
presented
by
staff
and
seeing
no
further
discussion.
I
will
ask
the
clerk
to
call
the
role.
L
Some
of
these
retirements
take
place
that
we
might
want
to
adjust
the
language
in
this
resolution
slightly
to
set
clear
expectations
is
to
win.
People
that
choose
to
retire
with
this
incentive
will
actually
be
paid
out.
As
you
all
know,
the
city
is
processing
thousands
of
tax
forms
in
january,
and
one
of
our
goals
overall,
with
this
retirement
incentive,
was
to
save
money
as
a
city
long
term,
so
incurring
a
lot
of
overtime.
In
order
to
get
some
of
these
payments
out,
isn't
really
going
to
be
consistent
with
those
goals.
L
C
B
B
And
that
item
carries
and
the
committee's
recommendation
will
be
forwarded
to
friday's
council
meeting
for
final
action
and
we
will
likely
hear
some
technical
amendments
from
council
member
palmisano
at
that
meeting.
B
N
Correct
council
vice
president
jenkins,
matt
bauer,
here
committee
members,
I'm
matt
bauer
manager
of
resource
coordination
in
the
finance
and
property
services
department,
and
today
we
are
bringing
forward
to
the
committee.
The
acceptance
and
appropriation
of
federal
cares
act.
N
I
will
run
through
the
background
on
these
coronavirus
relief
funds
in
the
process
and
rules
associated
with
their
receipt
and
wrap
up
with
a
summary
of
the
latest
recognized
and
planned
expenditure
items
eligible
under
the
grant,
finance
officer,
deshaun,
laurie,
johnson
and
micah
intermil
are
also
on
the
call,
I
believe,
to
assist
in
answering
any
questions
following
the
presentation
next
slide.
Please.
N
N
N
Only
at
the
end
of
june
hennepin
county
received
a
direct
federal
allocation
of
221
million
shortly
after
passage
of
the
cares
act
in
march,
and
the
cares
act
sets
forth
eligible
cri
expense
criteria
for
these
funds.
N
N
Please,
the
32
million
of
crf
is
a
portion
of
the
near
58
million.
The
city
has
received
from
the
cares
act
in
total
much
of
the
balance
of
25
million
in
non-crf
funding,
supports
covet,
19
response
programming,
support
in
the
community
for
assist,
for
example,
assistance
to
homelessness
and
housing,
support
initiatives
and
community
health
projects,
and
these
other
grants
have
been
before
the
council
over
the
past
several
months.
N
N
N
Terms
of
timeline
to
briefly
review
that
the
timeline
associated
with
these
funds
minneapolis's
share
again
was
32
million,
for
which
the
city
made
claim
for
in
back
in
july,
the
first
week
of
july
and
under
state
rules.
The
city
must
recognize
and
incur
eligible
expenditures
by
november
15th,
or
else
turn
over
any
balance
to
hennepin
to
the
hennepin
county,
medical
center
or
another
hospital
in
hennepin
county.
N
N
So,
as
noted
all
city
expenditures
to
be
charged
against
these
funds
must
be
incurred
by
november
15th.
Crf
funds
can
only
be
used
on
expenditures
that
meet
the
following
criteria
set
forth
in
the
cares.
Act
first
is
necessary
expenditures
incurred
due
to
the
coronavirus
public
health
emergency,
and
this
can
include
pay
public
health
and
safety.
Payroll
costs
two
expenses
not
accounted
for
in
the
approved
city
budget
as
of
march
27th
and
finally,
expenses
that
were
incurred
or
obligated
between
march
1st
and
november
15th
of
this
year.
N
N
N
N
This
includes
you
see
some
contact
tracing
costs
that
this
health
department
has
incurred
or
anticipates
incurring
over
the
next
the
next
several
weeks,
unemployment
benefits
which
we
are
currently
paying
out
on,
and
we
expect
additional
unemployment
costs
due
to
employees
that
have
either
been
laid
off
or
furloughed.
N
Or
have
lost
or
have
been
laid
off
prior
to
the
coronavirus,
but
are
currently
still
receiving
unemployment
expenses
from
the
city
and
due
to
their
inability
to
find
you
know,
work
in
the
current
and
current
economic
environment
are
still
eligible
to
receive
that
from
the
city.
N
I
will
note
that
all
the
eligible
expenditures
that
could
be
charged,
the
crf
funds,
will
exceed
the
amount
of
funding
available,
the
32
million
and
with
that
said
I'll
conclude
for
any
questions
that
you
may
have
on
and
again.
I've
there's
other
finance
staff
on
the
call
as
well.
That
can
assist
me
in
answering
any
of
those
questions.
B
Thank
you,
mr
bauer.
Are
there
any
questions.
B
F
Thank
I
know
that
this
reflects
work
from
the
enterprise
and
that
a
lot
of
the
kind
of
funny
decisions
have
come
through
council
by
way
of
the
mayor's
reports
on
decisions
being
made
under
the
emergency
declaration.
F
I
do
think
it's
notable
that
a
lot
of
the
costs
are
related
to
city
expenses,
internal
expenses
and
that
there
isn't
much
direct
investment
in
community
related
supports,
reflected
here
and
again,
knowing
this
probably
isn't
directed
at
at
user
power
but
across
the
enterprise.
F
I
just
wondered:
if
there's
someone
who
can
answer
the
question
about
how
how
staff
has
come
with
this
recommendation,
or
this
perhaps
now
backward
looking
summary
of
the
decisions
that
have
been
made
to
focus
the
funding
internally.
F
B
Yeah,
I
think
that's
a
great
question
council
president
and
I
I
share
those
same
concerns
and
wondering:
is
there
anyone
to
to
answer
that
question.
J
So,
chair
and
council
president,
I
could
answer
that
if
you
would
like
micah
intermil
city
budget
director,
so
as
as
mr
bauer
indicated
at
the
beginning
of
his
presentation,
this
this
slide
represents
32
million
of
a
total
57
million
58
million
received
through
the
cares
act
in
total,
so
separating
the
coronavirus,
relief
fund
or
crf
that
you
see
at
the
top
of
the
slide
from
the
cares
act.
J
In
total,
the
the
other
portions,
which
included
additional
community
development
block,
grant
emergency
solutions,
grants
things
related
to
the
elections
this
year.
All
of
that,
I
would
say
that
the
the
vast
majority
of
that
spending
is
indeed
outward
community
facing,
and
so
it
is
it's
an
interesting
juxtaposition
to
be
sure,
but
I
think
looking
assuming
that
this
is
the
the
full
picture
of
cares
act.
J
B
Thank
you,
mr
intermil,
and
I
know
that
councilmember
cunningham
is
in
queue,
but
just
as
a
follow-up.
So
with
these
expenses.
B
I
mean,
if
not
for
the
coronavirus
period
we
wouldn't
have
most
of
these
expenses.
However,
coronavirus
is
a
real
thing
and
we
would
have
had
to
either
spin
this
from
our
general
fund
or
or
not
do
it
is
that
correct.
J
So
manager,
that's
that's,
absolutely
correct,
and
I
I
think
the
the
only
other
piece
that
I
would
add
to
my
previous
answer
was
you
know
there.
J
There
has
been
a
a
team
of
folks
from
the
finance
and
property
services
department,
as
well
as
office
of
emergency
management
that
have
been
literally
combing
through
every
expenditure
to
identify
which
which
bucket
for
lack
of
a
better
term
the
should
be
used
for
each
expense
and,
as
mr
bowers
earlier
slide
noted
those
other
sources
of
funding,
those
other
buckets
that
are
provided
through
the
cares
act.
J
Thank
you
have
end
dates
that
are
farther
out
into
the
future,
and
so
you
know
there's
there's
a
lot
of
strategy
that
goes
into
this,
to
make
sure
that
we're
spending
all
of
the
dollars
by
the
dates
that
we
we
need
to
get
them
spent
by,
and
so
yes,
you
you're
absolutely
right,
madam
chair,
that
the
general
fund
would
have
picked
up
a
lot
of
these
expenses
or
we
just
simply
wouldn't
have
been
able
to
make
the
expenditures
before
being
able
to.
J
B
N
Chair,
chair
jenkins
and
and
committee
members,
I
was
just
going
to
add
that
there
are.
There
are
within
these
costs
that
you
see
on
the
last
slide.
There
are
there.
There
is
city
work
that
is
being
done
in
the
community
that
we
are
applying
to
these
dollars.
N
They
just
don't
it
it's
it's
not
broken
out,
though
first
as
internal
versus
external,
but
it's
it's
paying
for
health
department
time
going
out
to
do
testing
events
and
doing
you
know
doing
education
out
in
the
community
on
on
on
on
on
coronavirus,
so
that
those
are
under
bills
are
being
captured
under
the
line
for
public
health
expenses,
there's
also
under
the
cova
19
testing
and
contact
tracing
and
then
there's
other
there's
other
smaller
pieces
and
the
other
eligible
items
that
are
out
in
the
community
is
is
city
work
out
in
the
community
in
support
of
the
community,
but
it's
just
not
a
it's
not
broken
out
that
way,
but
I
will
say
I
mean
a
lot
of
this
is
for
internal
operations,
support
of
that
and
just
to
that,
we're
incurring
extraordinary
costs
due
to
the
coronavirus
itself.
B
Thank
you
for
that
input.
I'm
wondering
is
some
of
the
ppe
is
that
being
distributed
to
community
as
well
or
is
that
simply
internal.
B
O
O
O
I
was
also
going
to
note
that
you
know
these
expenses
that
we
have
incurred
to
date
and
also
planned
are
not
binding.
We
do
have
flexibility
in
re-appropriating
any
of
these
dollars.
That's
part
of
the
authority
that
that
is
listed
on
the
resolution.
O
As
the
cfo
I
do
have
the
ability
to
move
planned
expenditures
and
the
what
we
were
hoping
to
do
was
at
the
end
of
the
year,
depending
on
how
how
the
expenses
are
incurred
and
making
some
adjustment
at
year
end
to
give
us
more
flexibility,
just
didn't
want
you
to
think
that
any
of
these
categories
are
binding
in
any
way
with
the
action
taken.
B
Today,
good
to
know
councilmember
cunningham,
thanks
for
your
patience,
appreciate
it.
D
No,
thank
you.
Everyone,
sorry
for
my
dogs,
having
the
perfect
timing.
So
thank
you
all
for
this
presentation.
This
has
been
helpful
to
see
it
all
in
one
space
I
you
know
I
I
read
through
the
the
rca
and
and
just
was
hoping
to
get
some
clarification
about
what
qualifies
within
the
payroll
for
public
health
and
safety
employees
because,
as
was
mentioned,
some
of
the
public
health
expenses
are
related
to
staff
time
and
some
of
the
covid
testing
and
contact
tracing
is
related
to
public
health
staff
time.
D
So
I'm
curious
as
to
what
qualifies
for
payroll
that
that
is,
is
covered
and
is
it
possible
to
get
like?
Are
those
numbers
also
desegregated
between
public
health
and
safety,
because
those
are
two
actually
like,
very
rather
different
areas
for
our
employees
to
be
working?
So
I'm
just
curious
about
what
what
falls
into.
J
What
madam
chair
and
councilmember
cunningham
we,
we
can
certainly
disaggregate
the
numbers
for
you.
I
don't
believe
we
have
them
ready
for
you
today.
The
this
question
is
a
good
question
and
it's
been
sort
of
some
of
the
most
widely
discussed
in
the
public
finance
community.
Since
the
the
cares
act
was
passed
because
the
the
guidance
has
been
evolving
over
time
and
the
the
september
guidance
so
received
again,
just
as
we
think
about
timelines.
J
Yes,
the
cares
act
was
passed
in
in
the
spring,
but
it
wasn't
until
9
21
guidance
that
the
the
program
it
was
clear
that,
as
just
as
an
administrative
in
their
language,
an
administrative
accommodation,
local
governments
can
presume
that
public
health
and
public
safety
employees
meet
these
substantially
dedicated
tests.
J
So
public
health
and
public
safety
employees
are
assumed
to
be
working
enough
of
their
time
on
kovid
to
under
this
federal
guidance,
be
assumed
that
it
is,
it
is
a
covet
expense,
and
so
that's
like
I
said
it's
it's
a
an
item.
That's
been
moving
and
we've
been
watching
it
carefully.
J
I
think,
in
terms
of
while
I
don't
have
the
numbers
disaggregated
for
you,
the
the
sort
of
priority
for
dollars
has
been
public
health,
then
fire,
then
police
and
that
sort
of
matches
the
what
you
would
expect
in
terms
of
who
is
spending
most
of
their
time
on
those
activities.
J
I
think
the
the
other
thing
to
keep
in
mind
is
a
lot
of
our
public
health
payroll.
Our
health
department
does
a
great
job
of
finding
external
funding
for
a
lot
of
the
innovative
work
that
they
do,
and
so
we
want
to
be
very
careful
not
to
double
count
payroll,
and
so
that's
also
part
of.
What's
what
takes
some
time
to
make
sure
that
all
of
the
expenses
are
are
separated
properly.
D
Yes,
please
thank
you
so
much
for
that
director
inaudible.
That's
that's
very
helpful
to
understand.
So
I
guess
what
is
the
1.4
million
dollars
that
is
allocated
particularly
for
mpd.
Is
that
for
ppe
is
that
for
staff
time
I
I
know
that
the
fire
department
has
brought
in
separate
dollars
for
ppe
through
other
grants.
So
I'm
just
curious
if
this
is,
if
that's
what
these
expenses
were
used
to
cover.
J
So
I
might
defer
to
one
of
my
other
finance
colleagues
to
answer
that
question.
D
Thank
you.
I
hope
it's
not
too
nitpicky,
I'm
just
curious
about
how
how
that
what,
if
that
was
used
more
towards
ppe
or
if
it
was
for
payroll.
So
thank
you.
N
Chair
jenkins
and
councilmember
cunningham
matt
bauer,
here,
if,
if
you
are
looking
at
the
1.4
million
for
the
department
of
justice
that
you
see
on
the
slide
in
on
the
screen
here,
my
my
understanding
is
that
is,
I
I'm
not
sure.
If
that
is
entirely
for
payroll,
I
know
a
lot
of
it
is
for
ppe
in
the
department,
as
well
as
you
know,
cleaning
doing
the
disinfectant
of
the
vehicles
after
runs
and
such
and
again.
N
N
I'd
have
to
go
on
the
details
for
that,
but
my
understanding
is
that
the
general
grant
that
the
police
department
received
from
the
department
of
justice,
as
well
as
the
health
department,
is
for
primarily
for
ppe
and
kind
of
equipment,
equipment,
disinfection
and
such
okay.
So.
P
Vice
president
jenkins,
this
is
lori
johnson.
I
can
add
a
little
bit
to
that
as
you
notice.
The
end
date
for
that
grant
is
2022,
so
we
are
working
with
the
police
department
to
maximize
the
care's
funding
for
ppe
charging
it
to
the
32
million,
making
sure
that
we
leave
as
much
of
the
million
four
available
for
future
purchases
going
out
to
2022.
So
we're
carefully
mapping
each
of
those
expenditures
to
maximize
our
grant
dollars
and
we
have
not
charged
payroll
cost
to
that.
1.4
million
that
I'm
aware
of.
D
When
the
ppe
that
is
being
covered
by
mpd,
would
that
fall
within
the
I'm
sorry
can
we
turn
turn
it
to
the
next
slide,
with
the
crf
yeah.
So
with
that
then
go
under
the
personal
protective
equipment
and
that
stays
separate
from
the
I'm
assuming
the
payroll
for
public
health
and
safety
employees.
D
I
figured
as
much
okay.
I
would
like
to
be
able
to
see
it
desegregated
between
public
health,
fire
and
the
police
department,
just
because
I'm
curious
about
the
various
payroll
needs
in
the
department,
specifically
related
to
the
departments
related
specifically
to
covet
so
yeah,
so
that
information
would
be
really
appreciated.
Thank
you.
You're
welcome.
B
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
thanks
again
and
for
having
this
presentation
here
and
just
a
quick
follow-up
couple
things.
So
I
really
appreciate
this
presentation.
I
think
it's
helpful
for
us
to
see
it
at
this
point
and
I'm
sure
folks
will
have
follow-up
questions
and
things
like
the
ones
councilmember
cunningham
just
asked.
F
You
know
part
of
why
I
wanted
to
have
this
presentation
was
for
this
transparency.
I
also
know
that
we
are
in
a
situation
in
our
budget.
We
are
where
we
are
looking
at
each
dollar
carefully
and-
and
we
are
you
know,
hearing
so
many
community
needs,
and
so
many
issues
in
our
city
that
need
attention,
and
so
each
of
those
budget
dollars
is
so
important.
F
So,
just
wanting
to
make
sure
that,
of
course,
while
we
spend
this
money
in
a
way
that
is
compliant
with
the
intended
use
that
we're
also
really
looking
at
these
dollars
as
reflecting
their
priorities
for
our
community
right
now-
and
I
do
want
to
note
just
since
we're
having
this
public
presentation-
that
minneapolis
of
course
fell
just
short
of
the
population
cut
off
that
many
cities
that
we
think
of
as
peer
cities
did
hit
of
the
500
000
population
cut
offs.
So
many
cities
received
more
money
directly
than
we
did.
F
F
F
I
am
hearing
a
lot
from
staff
across
the
enterprise
about
strain
and
about
having
a
challenge
of
just
responding
to
priority
initiatives.
So
I
do
just
want
to
keep
track
of
how
we're
prioritizing
funds
and
make
sure
that
those
staff
who
are
doing
work
have
the
support
that
we
need
that.
We
are
re-prioritizing
city
resources
in
the
midst
of
these
crises,
because
we
do
need
to
and
just
hearing
a
concerning
amount
of
of
frustration
and
concern
from
our
staff.
F
So
really
just
looking
forward
to
the
2021
budget
in
particular,
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
have
the
right
resources
and
the
right
places
and
that
we
do
understand
that
we
need
to
shift
away
from
some
work
or
postpone
things
in
order
to
really
directly
focus
on
the
big
issues
impacting
our
community.
The
pandemic,
the
economic
crisis,
the
housing
crisis,
the
issues
of
violence,
particularly
useful
youth,
violence
in
our
community,
and
that
we
all
recognize
and
understand
that
that
means
a
shift
of
resources
and
priorities.
B
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
do
that
context
is,
is
really
helpful
and,
and
certainly
the
transparency
of
this
process
is,
is
critical
and
important,
and
I'm
sure
that,
as
you
noted
that
there
will
likely
be
more
questions
as
we
continue
to
move
forward,
but
I
do
want
to
thank
staff
for
for
pulling
this
together
and
helping
to
prioritize
and
and
fill
some
of
those
internal
gaps,
as
we
now
can
begin
to
turn
outwardly
towards
the
community.
B
Item
number
17,
which
includes
a
resolution,
several
actions
and
the
receipt
of
our
presentation.
B
A
C
B
B
B
As
you
all
know,
we
are
in
some
very
difficult
and
challenging
times
in
our
city
and
our
nation,
and
you
know
a
big
part
of
of
really
addressing
these
issues.
B
Is
we
we
must
tell
the
truth,
and
we
must
then
begin
to
address
that
truth,
and
so
this
process
will
will
begin
that
journey
for
us
as
the
city
of
minneapolis
and
as
we
encourage
other
jurisdictions,
governmental
agencies,
foundations,
corporations,
all
the
players
in
our
community
to
to
be
a
part
of
this
process,
and
I
will
I
will
note
that
several
of
my
colleagues
have
indicated
that
they
would
like
to
be
sponsors
of
this
resolution.
B
Councilwoman
cunningham,
kano,
goodman
and
trader,
and
I'm
sure
many
others
will
join
us
before
we
adopt
this
resolution
on
friday,
but
I
am
going
to
invite
miss
joy,
marsh
stevens
from
the
division
of
race
and
equity,
to
provide
a
presentation,
and
I
will
note
that
councilmember
johnson
has
included
his
name
on
this
resolution
as
well.
Q
Thank
you,
chair
jenkins
committee
members.
I'm
really
excited
to
be
here
today
to
introduce
this
resolution
and
to
provide
some
background
context
before
we
have
a
chance
to
read
through
it.
I
am
joined
today
by
evidence
who
is
a
program
manager
in
the
division
of
race
and
equity.
She
will
walk
through
some
context
around
really
grounding
us
in
this
moment.
Q
As
we
embark
upon
this
historic
journey
and
then
I
will
wrap
up
the
presentation
with
some
next
steps
and
stand
for
any
questions
that
you
have
so
I
will
hand
it
over
to
ebony.
M
Thank
you
so
much
joy
and
good
afternoon,
everyone,
as
joy
mentioned,
I
will
be
providing
context
around
the
truth
and
reconciliation
resolution
that
has
been
that
we've
been
working
on
within
the
division
of
race
and
equity
and
leave
it
open
for
questions
that
you
may
have
at
the
end
of
this
presentation.
M
There
are
lots
of
different
definitions
around
what
racial
reconciliation
is,
what
it
means.
So
I
thought
it
would
be
helpful
for
our
for
our
purposes
to
ground
us
and
how
we
are
conceptualizing,
truth
and
reconciliation
within
our
division.
M
I
recognize
that,
as
we
begin
to
move
forward
in
the
work
some
of
these
things
may
change
but
feel
that
it's
really
important
for
us
to
have
some
shared
language,
as
we
start
to
talk
about
this
within
the
city
of
minneapolis,
and
so,
according
to
the
william,
william
winters
institute
for
racial
reconciliation
at
the
university
of
mississippi
truth
and
reconciliation.
That
process
really
involves
three
ideas.
M
M
Lastly,
justice
is
the
essential
component
of
the
reconciliation
process-
justice
that
is
best
termed
as
restorative
rather
than
retributive,
so,
while
still
maintaining
its
vital
punitive
character,
meaning
that-
and
so
we
can
move
to
the
next
slide.
Actually
as
we
conceptualize.
What
reconciliation
is
that
there
are
these
relational
horizontal
dynamics,
but
there
are
also
these
vertical
dynamics
that
we
want
to
make
sure
we
are
really
addressing.
As
we
talk
about
reconciliation.
M
This
is
really
important
because
in
the
spaces
that
I've
been
a
part
of
that
have
really
talked
about
reconciliation,
there's
been
over
emphasis
on
the
relational
and
the
interpersonal
dynamics,
which
are
really
really
important,
but
there
is
sometimes
ignorance
or
a
resignation
to
not
think
about
the
policies
and
the
systems
change,
and
so,
as
we
approach
this
work
within
the
division
and
within
the
city,
we
want
to
care,
be
careful
to
name
that
we
are
really
excited
and
we
are
really
committed
to
thinking
about
the
relational
aspects
of
reconciliation,
but
we're
even
more
committed
to
the
justice
pieces.
M
As
of
as
courtesy
young
says,
who
is
a
scholar
and
thinks
and
writes
a
lot
about
reconciliation
reconciliation
can
only
occur
among
equals,
and
so,
if
we
don't
have
that
justice
piece,
if
we
keep
having
the
inequitable
outcomes
that
we
see
across
our
communities,
we
can't
really
begin
to
take
advantage
of
the
horizontal
relationships
within
our
communities.
M
Next
slide
piece,
and
so
I
wanted
to
give
a
couple
of
ideas
around
where
the
truth
and
reconciliation
process
has
taken
place.
This
is
a
it's
a
multi-faceted
process
that
has
taken
place
in
many
different
countries
and
localities
around
the
world,
and
I
think
one
of
the
well-known
cases
is
south
africa.
After
the
end
of
apartheid
and
the
government
really
allowing
people
who
have
been
oppressed
because
of
the
system
to
come
and
share
their
grievances,
but
also
allowed
white
africans
to
come
and
share
how
they
have
been
perpetuators
of
injustice
in
that
system.
M
Over
a
period
of
time,
rwanda
also
had
a
truth
and
reconciliation
processes
after
the
war
in
genocide
in
194
in
1997.,
there
is
also
documentation
around
canada's
own
reconciliation
process
when
it
really
pertained
to
the
the
legacy
of
indian
residential
schools
and
given
people
that
had
been
a
part
of
american
indians
who
have
been
a
part
of
that
to
give
them
an
opportunity
to
share
their
experiences.
M
What
had
happened,
the
impact
of
that
and
then
sierra
leone
after
the
end
of
the
11
year,
civil
war
as
well-
and
we
do
have
some
background
research
on
some
of
these
things,
and
so,
if
there's
an
interest
there,
we
can
always
share
them
with
you,
and
these
are
just
a
few
examples
of
how,
like
these
massive
reconciliation
processes,
have
been
rooted
and
grounded
in
governments
and
communities
around
the
world
to
bring
people
to
a
healing
space
after
conflict.
One
episode-
that's
not
up
here
is
bosnia.
M
M
Just
on
monday,
we
celebrated
we
commemorated
indigenous
indigenous
people's
day
and
the
city
of
minneapolis
passed
a
resolution
honoring
that
in
place
of
columbus
day
back
in
2013
2014.,
we
also
passed
a
resolution
honoring
the
400
year
commemoration
just
last
year
in
the
legacy
of
african-americans,
who
have
been
stolen
from
our
original
continent,
our
original
home
for
the
purposes
of
of
labor
and
reproduction.
Here
on
here
in
america,
and
so
when
we
think
about
this,
I
I
invite
you
to
pay
attention
to
what's
happening
and
showing
up
in
your
body.
M
Perhaps
as
you
look
at
the
slide,
you
are
noticing
racing
thoughts,
a
buzzing
sensations
in
your
ears,
sweaty
palms,
because
our
bodies
remember
even
when
we
don't
want
to
remember
our
bodies.
Remember
these
things
or
maybe
you're
sensing
calm,
you're
experiencing
spaciousness
in
your
chest
or
you're
noticing
an
interest
in
making
eye
tech
eye
contact
with
others.
M
Or
maybe
you
have
no
idea
what
this
about
or
what
I've
just
said.
You
weren't
paying
attention.
Your
body
feels
blah,
and
now
you
want
to
go
home
and
take
a
nap
if
you
had
to
place
yourself
on
the
spectrum
of
how
much
and
how
intensely
you
experiencing
the
activation
and
energy
in
your
body
right
now
because
of
the
slide.
M
M
So
we're
talking
about
a
legacy
that
is
five
six
hundred
years
old,
as
we
do
that,
let's
move
to
the
next
slide.
We
know
that
there
are
things
that
are
within
our
present
day
that
continue
to
make
the
case
for
why
this
work
is
important.
Our
ongoing
racial
disparities,
in
spite
of
the
fact
that
minnesota
promotes
itself
to
be
within
the
progressive
north.
We
have
some
of
the
worst
racial
disparities
within
our
nation.
M
M
We
think
about
the
dakota
38
in
in
the
war
against
the
dakota
back
in
the
right,
as
lincoln
was
signing
the
emancipation
proclamation
for
african
americans,
the
very
next
day
signing
in
order
to
execute
38
dakota
people.
We
thought
we
think
about
the
missing
indigenous
women.
We
think
about
redlining.
M
M
This
is
why-
and
this
is
how
we
are
grounding-
this
work
around
the
truth
and
reconciliation,
commitment
and
our
bodies
remember
what
happened
to
our
ancestors
hundreds
of
years
ago,
but
we're
still
facing
and
we're-
and
it's
still
happening
to
us
today,
which
makes
the
work
even
more
urgent
in
this
moment,
because
we
can't
escape
it.
Our
communities
continue
to
feel
these
injustices,
and
so
I
want
to
as
we
think
about
all
those
things.
M
I
want
to
pass
it
to
joy
to
talk
about
what
our
next
steps
are
in
regards
to
this
resolution
and
this
work
within
the
division
and
within
the
city
of
minneapolis.
Q
Thank
you
anthony
for
providing
that
powerful
context
and
for
reminding
us
of
truly
not
just
how
historic
this
moment
is
for
us,
but
how
important
it
is
for
us
to
be
very
thoughtful
and
intentional.
As
we
embark
upon
a
truth
and
reconciliation
process
for
the
city,
we
can
go
to
the
next
slides
into
the
next
slide.
Q
So
what
we
have
written
here
is
actually
a
portion
of
the
resolution
that
speaks
specifically
to
direction
to
staff,
to
to
begin
this
work,
looking
to
the
division
of
race
and
equity,
clearly
in
relationship
with
so
many
other
areas
of
the
city,
minimally,
the
mayor's
office
city,
council,
the
civil
rights
department,
the
city
coordinator's
office,
the
city,
attorney's
office,
the
city
clerk
and
other
departments
in
the
city
really
just
to
ground
ourselves.
Before
we
get
too
far
down
the
path
really
grounding
ourselves
and
understanding
what
it
is
that
we
want
to
commit
to
cv.
Q
Sure,
jenkins
and
and
ebony.
Both
spoke
very
eloquently
to
the
significance
of
the
moment,
not
just
the
moment,
but
the
reality
of
our
historically
black
residents
of
the
city
as
well
as
american,
indian
residents
of
the
city
and
the
need
for
us
to
really
prioritize
this
work,
but
we
want
to
make
sure
that
in
doing
so,
we
have
some
clarity
as
a
locality
around
what
experts
are
saying
about
how
to
actually
embark
on
a
truth
and
reconciliation
process
as
ebony
illustrated
in
the
earlier
slide.
Q
Q
We
also
want
to
examine
our
internal
capacity
to
think
about
what
does
it
mean
for
the
city
of
minneapolis
to
take
on
this
work?
This
is
legacy
work.
This
is
not
the
type
of
process
that
we
embark
upon
and
then
wrap
up
in
six
months,
but
this
is
something
that
we
as
a
city
will
want
to
commit
to
to
do.
Well,
because
the
disparities
that
we're
seeing
within
our
historically
black
and
american
indian
communities
are
not
a
new
reality
for
us.
Q
We
also
intend
to
bring
forth
the
recommendation
after
we've
done
this
research
after
we've
actually
done
some
internal
looking
and
capacity
and
organizational
capacity
assessment
bring
back
a
recommendation
on
how
we
actually
proceed
in
forming
a
truth
and
reconciliation
commission.
What's
the
role
of
the
city,
what's
the
role
of
community,
what's
the
role
of
external
partners,
be
they
philanthropic
or
other
government
partners
of
the
private
sector
and
the
voice
of
community
within
shaping
how
we
actually
move
that
process
forward?
Q
G
B
As
you
all
were
going
through
the
presentations,
all
of
my
colleagues
on
the
city
council
have
indicated
they
would
like
to
be
authors,
co-authors
of
this
resolution,
this
historic
resolution,
as
was
noted,
and
this
legacy
work
first
we'll
hear
from
councilmember
goodman,
then
councilmember
bender.
E
I
think
it's
really
important
that
everyone
from
the
community
really
understand
the
importance
of
truth
and
reconciliation,
and
I
just
want
you
to
know
council
vice
president
and
staff
that
I
am
willing
to
step
up
and
be
your
partner
learn
what
I
don't
know
communicate
what
I
do
and
hold
your
hand
as
we
all
hold
hands
together
to
face
these
past
injustices
and
try
to
figure
out
what
we
can
do
at
this
point
in
time
to
help
our
community
heal
and
move
forward.
So
thank
you
for
bringing
this
forward.
I
Well,
thank
you
very
much
and
I
think
that
gordon
and
goodman
are
well
aligned
right
here.
So
lisa
took
the
words,
probably
right
out
of
my
mouth.
I
really
appreciate
this
work
and
I'm
all
in
as
well,
and
I'm
excited
to
see
this
coming
forward.
I
did
want
to
maybe
share
my
concern
about
resources
and
capacity,
and
I
think
we
should,
as
we're
thinking
about
this
work,
be
maybe
willing
to
look
at
what
we
have
in
the
budget
right
now.
I
That
could
possibly
support
this
and
there
might
even
be
a
case
for
making
a
budget
amendment
to
make
sure
that
we
have
the
right
kind
of
resources.
I
know
that
one
of
the
things
we
want
to
do
is
consult
with
other
experts,
of
course
here
whenever
we
see
the
word
consult,
we
think
that
sometimes
means
consultants
and
sometimes
consultants
should
be
compensated.
I
So,
let's
think
about
that,
you
know
I
know
we're
early
in
our
budget
process,
but
I'm
so
glad
to
see
this
coming
forward,
and
I
would
just
maybe
softly
suggest
that
if
there
are
budget
implications
that
our
staff
can
think
of-
and
you
don't
have
to
talk
about
it
right
now-
but
maybe
that's
something
we
should
be
discussing
amongst
ourselves
with
recommendations
from
staff
to
see
what
we
can
do
to
make
sure
to
support
this.
It's
not
going
to
be
easy.
I
It's
not
going
to
be
something
we
can
do
quickly
and
it's
going
to
take
a
lot
of
credibility
even
to
build
it
out.
So
there
could
be
a
lot
of
reasons
why
we
might
want
some
other
expertise
and
leadership
from
our
community
or
from
outside
our
community,
and
I
know
we
have
experts
in
the
city.
Who've
even
done
this
kind
of
process
in
countries
around
the
world
and
have
some
experiences
and
and
think
would
even
be
anxious
and
willing
and
eager
to
join
some
kind
of
coalition.
I
B
Yeah,
thank
you.
Councilman
regarding,
I
think
your
comments
are
right
on
point.
Resources
will
be
necessary,
really
need
to
develop
the
the
trust
of
community
in
this
process,
which
I
think
really
begs
us
to
to
seriously
consider
outside
facilitation
consultants
and-
and
maybe
even
this
becomes
a
a
standalone
process
of
that
commission
and
and
others,
but
but
certainly
needs
the
the
support
and
and
participation
of
the
city
of
minneapolis
in
the
process,
and
until
you
point
around
budget,
the
the
mayor
has
indicated
some
resources.
B
Certainly
we
will
need
more,
but
I
want
to
bring
in
our
next
speaker,
commenter
council,
president
bender.
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
My
comments
are
similar,
but
I
I
wanted
to
say
that
I'm
so
grateful
to
you
and
ms
marc
stevens
and
the
team
for
bringing
this
forward
as
its
own
standalone
work
as
it
deserves
to
be,
and
I
think
at
first
for
a
while.
It
was
sort
of
combined
in
with
some
other
things
in
a
way
that
really
didn't
honor.
F
But
this
history
persists
in
so
many
ways,
and
so
allowing
this
work
to
have
the
space
it
needs
at
the
pace
it
needs
to
be
taken
really
truly
directed
by
our
community
is
going
to
mean
us,
I
think,
kind
of
changing
how
we
think
about
policy
making
and
solving
problems
and
and
really
listening.
And
you
know,
I
think,
we've
had
some
recent
experiences
that
show
us
what
happens
when
we
open
our
minds
to
what's
possible
and
we
don't.
F
You
know
our
system
is
set
up
with
a
lot
of
rules
and
a
lot
of
kind
of
ways.
Things
are
always
done
and
we
have
a
lot
of
change
makers
on
the
city
council.
We
have
a
lot
of
change
leaders
and
our
staff,
so
I
think
we're
at
a
time
where,
more
than
ever,
we
need
to
just
really
open
ourselves
up
to
the
possibilities
of
what
will
come
from
our
community
and
just
really
start
by
listening
and
not
sort
of
writing
anything
off
or
or
saying,
no
or
can't
or
not
possible.
F
So
just
thanks
again
for
your
leadership.
I
just
also
wanted
to
speak
to
offer
my
support
for
this,
and
especially,
you
know
especially
kind
of
regrouping
with
its
own
standalone
process,
with
the
resources
that
it
needs
and
deserves.
You
know
both
right
now
and
then
in
the
in
the
years
to
come.
I
think
what
dr
abraham
said
is
is
so
true
that
this
is.
This
is
not
a
short-term
process,
we're
undertaking
it's
something.
We
need
to
commit
to
for
the
long
term.
B
Thank
you,
madam
president.
So
next
we'll
hear
from
councilmember
cunningham
and
then
I
know
ms
stevens
would
like
to
to
help
respond
to
some
of
the
resource
questions
that
councilmember
gordon
brought
up.
Councilmember
cunningham.
D
Thank
you,
council
vice
president,
but
I
will
go
ahead
and
defer
to
director
stephen,
so
she
can
address
councilmember,
gordon's
question
and
then
I'll
come
back.
Thank.
Q
I
want
to
lift
up
the
recast
program
that
we
have
been
running
now
in
the
division
of
race
and
equity
for
four
years
we
are
getting
into
our
fifth
year
and
the
one
of
the
key
premises
around
that
program
is
on
building
greater
trust
and
understanding
between
community
and
the
city.
Q
Many
of
the
tenants,
within
the
program
that
we've
been
running
for
the
last
four
years,
speak
very
directly
to
the
work
that
we're
doing
that
we're
embarking
upon
now
around
truth
and
reconciliation
and
as
we
embark
on
our
final
year
of
the
recast
grant,
I
can't
imagine
a
more
fitting
way
for
us,
through
a
policy
measure
to
be
taking
these
steps
together.
So
to
that
end,
we
have
already
set
aside
a
significant
portion
of
that
program-
programmatic,
those
programmatic
dollars
for
year
five
to
initiate
this
process.
Q
As
I
illustrate,
as
I
indicated
earlier
in
those
next
steps,
our
goal
is
to
begin
this
work
as
quickly
as
possible,
not
waiting
for
2021
budget,
I'm
in
order
to
do
so
and
to
your
point,
councilmember,
gordon,
as
well
intending
to
bring
on
some
outside
resource
support
in
order
to
move
it.
We
know
that
this
is
not
a
small
body
of
work
and
as
city
staff,
we're
not
sitting
around
with
the
capacity
necessarily
to
take
this
on.
Q
Nor
do
we
want
to
position
ourselves
as
the
definitive
experts
in
the
work,
so
my
intention
is
to
is
to
use
existing
dollars
in
our
recast
funds
to
begin
this
work
to
secure
some
consultative
support
to
initiate
the
process
and
to
ultimately
guide
us
through
as
long
as
we
can
but
to
council.
Vice
president
jenkins
earlier
point,
we
will
need
to
think
long
term,
because
this
is
again
legacy
work
that
we're
building
on
how
we
and
how
we
support
the
process
on
an
ongoing
basis.
B
Thank
you
so
much
miss
stevens,
and
now
we
can
go
back
to
councilmember
cunningham.
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
thank
you
to
ebony
and
director
mark
stevens
for
this
presentation
and
this
work
and
thank
you,
madam
chair,
for
your
leadership
in
this
as
well.
I
am
really
excited
about
this
work.
D
I
have
felt
so
strongly
for
the
need
for
this
work
for
quite
some
time,
and
I
know
that
this
has
been
brewing
for
a
while,
and
so
I'm
just
so
excited
to
see
it
coming
to
fruition
for
there
to
be
a
framework
and
an
understanding
of
of
of
how
the
work
will
start
and-
and
so
I'm
just
really
excited
about
it
and
know
that
it's
desperately
needed
in
my
community
in
north
minneapolis.
D
The
city
has
caused
tremendous
harm
in
north
minneapolis
and,
quite
frankly,
continues
to
do
so
even
unintentionally,
and
I,
as
a
council
member,
take
my
role
very
seriously
of
changing
that
dynamic
and
relationship
between
the
city
and
north
minneapolis.
D
But
I
am
one
person
and
we're
talking
about
a
system,
an
institution
that
is
so
much
bigger
than
than
one
person,
even
an
elected
official.
So
I'm
so
grateful
to
see
a
process
and
methodology
as
to
how
how
we
go
about
doing
this
work,
because
I
live
in
the
midst
of
it
every
single
day,
not
only
as
a
descendant
of
slaves
myself
but
but
living
in
north
minneapolis,
seeing
the
concrete
harm
that
has
been
caused
by
the
system
of
the
city
of
minneapolis.
D
I
have
a
little
bit
of
a.
I
guess
I
would
like
to
just
kind
of
have
a
bit
of
a
conversation,
because
it's
something
that
I've
had
a
hard
time.
I
almost
said
reconciling,
but
I've
had
a
hard
time
figuring
out.
How
to
put
together
is
you
know?
Ebony
you
had
talked
talked
about
the
reconciliation
being
amongst
peers
and
I'm
curious.
D
If
you
could
speak
a
little
bit
more
to
like
there
has
to
be
equal
power,
but
when
you
have
elected
officials
or
say
police,
you
know
you
have
folks
who
are
in
positions
of
power
where
how?
How
do
we
bridge
that
gap
between
like
the
power
differential,
as
we
think
about
how
we
navigate
this
work?
Because
I
you
know
I
I
do
a
lot
of
work
interpersonally.
D
I
I
have
a
lot
of
connections
and
relationships
with
folks
in
my
community,
but
there's
always
that
power
dynamic,
and
so
I'm
just
curious
about
I'm
all
on
board.
You
all
know
like
let's
get
in
and
do
this
justice
oriented
work,
change
those
systems
and
change
policies,
but
I'm
curious
about
like
how
it
it
might
be
a
little
bit
too
detailed,
but
maybe
high
level.
How
do
we
navigate
that
power
differential
with
the
reconciliation
process.
M
And
so
I
think
we're
getting
into
some
philosophical
terror
to
a
philosophical
territory
right
now
and
just
digging
through
some
of
the
research
around
like
what
reconciliation
is,
what
the
processes
are
I'll.
You
know
give
my
best
answer
at
that,
and
then,
if
joy
has
anything
or
maybe
someone
else
has
something
that
they
want
to
chime
in,
I
do
think
that
you
actually
bring
up
a
really
great
point
here
in
terms
of
like
how
do
we
actually
pursue
this
when
there's
so
much
unequal
power
dynamics
within
our
city?
M
You
know
within
elected
officials,
police
schools,
so
many
different
things
that
really
point
to
how
much
how
unequal
the
city
is,
and
so
reconciliation
only
occurs
among
equals,
people
that
have
equal
access
to
resources
and
power,
and
so
I
that's
one
of
the
reasons
why
I
said
we
need
to
pursue
the
relational
dynamics
and
changing
how
we
relate
to
one
another.
One
of
the
things
beautiful
things
we're
doing
within
the
division
of
race
and
equity
that
has
been
had
had
opportunity
for
other
staff
to
participate
in
across
the
enterprise.
M
M
So
I
think
that
that's
a
strategy,
but
I
think
the
other
piece
is
that
we
really
have
to
address
the
inequities
that
we
continue
to
produce
within
the
city.
And
so
we
can't
talk
about
reconciliation
if
we're
going
to
continue
to
have
the
housing
gap.
M
And
so
that's
why
I
said
we
have
to
take
care
of
the
relational
pieces,
but
we
have
got
to
take
care
of
the
structural
pieces,
otherwise
we're
just
having
a
come
to
jesus
kumbaya
cathartic
moment
where
we're
going
to
come
and
cry
and
feel
really
good
and
at
the
end
of
the
day,
we're
going
back
to
our
communities
and
things
are
the
same
way.
We
can't
do
that
and
if
you
look
at
historical
examples
in
south
africa,
I
think
south
africa
is
a
really
prime
example
of
what
I'm
talking
about.
M
Is
that,
like
one
of
the
reasons
why
the
south
african
government
really
wanted
that
truth
and
reconciliation
process
was
to
have
a
peaceful
transition
from
the
white
african
way
of
ruling
things
under
apartheid
to
black
rulership
without
bloodshed?
Right?
But
if
you
ask
black
south
africaners,
who
still
remain
there,
are
there
were
lots
of
injust,
there's
still
a
lot
of
ongoing
injustices
and
unequal
access
to
resources,
and
just
because
that
power
shifted
in
terms
of
government?
That
didn't
mean
that
black
people
got
their
land
back.
M
That
didn't
mean
that
black
people
got
more
housing
or
economic
opportunities
and
so
like.
If
we're
gonna
really
pursue
this,
we
have
to
pursue
this
with
integrity,
to
say
that
we
have
to
address
the
the
relational
pieces,
but
we
have
got
to
take
care
of
the
structural,
because
if
we
don't,
we
will
keep
producing
the
inequities
and
we'll
keep
reducing
the
harm
that
happens.
Interpersonally.
M
We
need
some
experts
around
this,
like
I
have
some
knowledge
around
this
and
I'm
sure
that
any
amount
of
us
in
on
this
call
have
knowledge
around
what
this
will
take,
but
to
counsel
vice
president
jenkins
and
joy
point.
We
need
to
bring
in
people
who
are
going
to
help,
nurture
and
guide
this
process.
D
Yes,
I
I
really
appreciate
that.
I'm
okay
with
a
little
philosophical
right
now
to
be
honest,
because
it's
like
we're
still
kind
of
in
that
space.
So,
and
I
I
like
getting
into
that
too.
I
think
that
one
of
you
know
just
kind
of
thinking
systemically
one
of
the
barriers
that
we're
going
to
face-
and
I
stand
at
the
ready
to
be
of
support-
is
the
fact
that
we
are
completely
inhibited
by
race,
neutral
requirements,
and
you
know
so
like
how
do
we
undo
harm
to
black
and
indigenous
communities?
D
When
we
can't
explicitly
say
these
resources
are
going
towards
for
black
or
indigenous
people
right,
and
so
not
I'm
just
like
naming
that
as
like
a
systemic
barrier
that
we're
going
to
have
to
work
through
together
and
I'm
at
the
ready
to
be
of
support
in
any
way
as
we
navigate
this.
Thank
you
so
much
for
all
you
do
and
thank
you
for
your
answers.
B
Thank
you,
everyone
for,
for
this
really
important
discussion
and
commitment
to
to
this
process.
And
again
I
want
to
just
note
that
this
is
just
the
beginning
we
want
to.
You
know
we
don't
anticipate
that
this
work
will
be
done
by
january
2021.
B
We
we
just
want
to
hear
the
progress
that
has
been
made
to
date
at
that
point
in
time.
You
know
this.
This
has
been
a
a
process
leading
up
to
this.
Thus
far,
you
know
we
we
established
in,
I
believe,
2015
the
division
of
race
and
equity
at
the
city
of
minneapolis,
and
then
this
council.
B
You
know
our
entire
strategic
planning
process
was
our
strategic
race
and
and
strategic
racial
equity
plan,
and
then
we
we
declared
racism
as
a
public
health
crisis

Colleagues,
I
just
want
to
leave
us
with
one
paragraph
from
the
author
of
how
to
be
an
anti-racist.
B

An
anti-racist
society
is
not
governed
by
fear
and
hate
and
cynicism,
but
one
of
equity
and
justice
and
truth
an
anti-racist
society
govern
by
curiosity
and
love
and
hope,
honoring
humanity
in
all
of
his
fullness,
and
with
that
we
have
concluded
all
business
to
come
before
this
committee
today
and
we
are
adjourned.
Thank
you.
