J
Thank
you,
madam
president
and
council.
Vice
president,
you
hit
the
nail
on
the
head,
although
we
can't
hear
that
thunderous
round
of
applause,
let
me
say,
mr
patrick
todd.
You
are
so
deserving
30
years
worth
of
of
excellent
service
to
our
city.
I
have
seen
the
passion
that
you
have
for
serving
our
residents
in
every
single
one
of
the
interactions
that
I've
ever
had
with
you
and
although
it's
this
very
specific
niche
within
the
city,
it's
a
niche
that
is
so
necessary
to
just
our
city's
ability
to
continue
functioning
at
all.
J
I
had
the
honor
of
attending
the
international
conference
of
assessing
officers
back
in
2018
when
minneapolis
hosted
and
it's
a
slice
of
life
and
it's
an
unbelievable
slice
of
life.
It's
it's!
It's
people
that
care
so
deeply
about
their
respective
cities,
but
also
care
so
deeply
about
the
craft
of
assessing,
and
I
can't
say
that
I've
got
a
lot
of
interest
in
the
craft
of
assessing,
but
we're
we're
so
it
it's.
It's
so
wonderful
to
be
able
to
rely
on
experts.
J
Like
mr
todd
and
at
that
conference,
you
saw
the
the
very
deep
respect
that
every
single
person
in
that
room
had
for
patrick
todd.
He
has
been
a
mentor
to
so
many
people
he's
helped
to
bring
up
through
the
ranks
the
next
city
assessors
for
years,
and
perhaps
even
generations
to
come,
he's
helped
to
inspire
a
level
of
interest
in
the
assessor's
office,
which
is
not
an
area
that
you
traditionally
think
about
inspiring
interest
in,
and
so
patrick
your
your
legacy
lives
on
we're
so
proud
to
have
worked
with
you.
J
K
D
Thank
you.
Madam
president.
I
I
have
had
the
good
fortune
of
working
for
many
years
throughout
my
10
years
here
with
the
city
with
patrick
todd,
very
closely,
primarily
centered
on
the
work
that
we
do
around
the
annual
appeals
process
for
property
assessments
and
market
valuations.
The
clerk
plays
a
very
small
role
in
that
process
and
partners
very
closely
with
the
city
assessor
and
his
team,
so
we've
gotten
to
know
each
other
fairly
well,
and
what
always
stood
out
to
me
is
that
patrick
todd
is
an
optimist.
D
D
This
year
we
weren't
in
person,
but
mr
todd
was
still
on
the
phone.
He
was
still
listening.
Checking
in
sent
me
several
texts.
Are
there
people
I
can
follow
up
with?
Are
there
people
who
have
questions
about
their
property
taxes
or
their
assessments?
Can
you
send
me
their
contact
information?
So
he's
always
listening?
He
wants
to
help
people
with
their
concerns
and
issues
is
a
true
public
servant.
D
So
I
know
that
the
city
has
benefited
from
your
leadership.
Patrick,
your
department
is
stronger
and
better
because
of
you,
and
you
will
be
missed
by
me
by
all
of
your
colleagues
from
the
city's
executive
team.
I
wish
you
the
best
in
your
retirement,
knowing
that
you'll
be
somewhere
tinkering
here
and
there
in
your
travels.
So
be
well
and
be
happy,
you've
earned
it
and
thank
you
for
your
service,
patrick.
L
L
You
were
back
to
me
and
you
did
that
out
of
a
concern
for
the
enterprise
as
a
whole,
and
also
for
me
personally
to
know
that
if
I
had
a
problem,
you
wanted
to
be
there
right
there
with
me
solving
that,
and
that
is,
in
my
mind,
high
praise
for
the
way
that
you
treat
others
within
city
hall
as
well
as
outside
of
city
hall.
So
thank
you
for
that.
Patrick.
M
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
apologize
for
jumping
in
the
queue
a
little
bit
late.
My
computer
force
restarted,
so
I
just
want
to
say
mr
todd.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
service.
I
wanted
to
really
highlight
two
things.
The
first.
M
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
I
say
how
grateful
that
I
am
for
your
career
pathways
program
that
you
built
in
your
department
to
ensure
that
there
are
more
assessors
of
color,
an
opportunity
that
maybe
a
lot
of
folks,
don't
necessarily
think
of
when
they're
looking
for
a
career
in
in
the
public
sector
and
so
the
creating
that
space
for
for
folks
to
actually
see
themselves
reflected
in
maybe
an
opportunity
they
hadn't
thought
of
before
is
is
really
amazing,
and
so
I'm
very
grateful
to
you
and
to
the
staff
who
helped
me
make
that
a
real
possibility-
and
I
just
want
to
share
a
story
because
it
just
really
sticks
with
me
so
much
about
the
kind
of
service
that
that
we
have
been
fortunate
as
a
city
for
you
to
provide
to
us
for
so
long.
M
You
came
before
the
city
council
and-
and
I
asked
I
I
like
to
ask
the
department
heads
what
is
your
favorite
part
about
this
job,
and
I
remember
you
got
a
big
smile
on
your
face
and
like
chuckled,
joyfully
and
you're
like
I
love
that
question
and
then
talked
about
the
opportunity
to
be
able
to
engage
community
which
a
lot
of
folks
wouldn't
think
of
necessarily
from
the
assessor's
office,
but
there's
a
lot
of
opportunity
to
be
able
to
engage
folks
and
bring
them
along
in
the
process
and
help
problem
solve
for
folks
and
provide
them
good
customer
service.
M
That
just
made
me
feel
so
warm
and
fuzzy
to
have
somebody
who
so
clearly
loved
their
job
and
so
joyfully
answered
that
question.
That
just
really
has
always
stuck
with
me
and
you
still
have
that
same
light
in
your
eyes,
a
bright
smile
beyond
that,
and
so
I'm
so
grateful
for
you
and
all
that
you've
done
for
the
city
for
our
constituents.
M
You
will
be
missed,
but
best
of
luck
and
and
all
the
joy
in
your
next
thank
you.
Councilmember.
C
C
You've
been
here
longer
than
than
all
of
us
elected
officials
by
by
a
long
long
shot,
and
I
think
we
really
all
benefit
from
that
institutional
knowledge
and
the
relationships
that
are
built
over
those
years
of
service.
C
I
know
that
you
have
really
provided
so
much
to
support
to
all
of
our
constituents
as
they
call
with
questions,
and
I
also
have
also
appreciated
the
way
that
the
office
has
the
small
office
has
taken
on
the
responsibility
that
we
all
share
to
create
a
more
equitable
city
and
customer
cunningham
gave
one
example.
I
know
when
I
first
took
office.
K
Yes,
madam
president,
thank
you
thank
you
very
much
and
for
all
the
council
members
I
really
enjoyed
working
with
you.
Your
your
compliments
are
just
flattering
and
actually
overwhelming,
and
I
just
can't
think
thank
you
enough,
so
I
I
want
to
spend
maybe
two
or
three
minutes
just
thanking
those
people
that
have
really
made
me
successful
and
if
I
could
just
if
you
could
just
bear
with
me,
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
I
thank
mayor
frye.
K
K
The
assessor's
office
for
16
years
has
allowed
me
to
work
on
very
important
initiatives,
initiatives
to
improve
the
annual
assessment
for
property
owners
to
increase
the
transparency
in
the
work
that
we're
doing,
in
addition
to
addressing
the
race
and
equity
issues,
not
only
in
the
city
of
minneapolis,
but
definitely
in
our
department,
and
I
think
we
were
making
some
really
good
headway,
and
I
know
it's
very
well
supported
within
my
department.
K
So
so,
thanks
for
your
support,
I
really
feel
good
about
what
we've
accomplished
and
the
future
of
of
my
department
and
and
the
city.
I
want
to
thank
my
peers.
The
department
heads
the
their
directors
we
we
would
meet
frequently
and
we
had
some
great
laughs.
We
shared
some
tears,
but
mostly
we
had
countless
hours
of
lively
discussions
of
how
to
make
minneapolis
a
great
place
to
work,
to
live
and
and
to
enjoy
for
all
people,
and
I
miss
the
camaraderie
camaraderie
and
the
friendship.
K
I
want
to
thank
my
my
leadership
team,
my
definitely
my
director
rebecca
malmquist,
my
manager
for
assessment
services,
nancy
wojack,
my
chief
appraiser
brian
keiser,
and
my
two
supervisors,
brian
messer
and
tim
mulvin.
These
people
are
the
best
of
the
best.
They
are
so
talented.
Any
one
of
them
could
go
out
tomorrow
and
be
the
city
or
a
county
assessor
any
place
in
the
state
of
minnesota,
but
they
choose
to
work
for
minneapolis,
which
speaks
volumes
to
their
dedication
and
the
commitment
to
this
minneapolis
and
its
residents
I'd
be
remiss.
K
I
really
would
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
thank
my
staff.
My
department
has
an
excellent
reputation
within
the
community,
I'm
with
property
owners,
business
owners,
homeowners
and
neighborhood
groups.
This
reputation
was
built
by
my
staff
with
every
taxpayer
that
they
met
with
every
phone
call
that
they
answered
with
every
email
that
they
wrote.
K
Thank
you
to
my
staff
that
that
this
this
job
made
their
work
made
my
job
very
easy.
I
want
to
thank
my
family,
both
the
past
and
present
for
their
love
and
support
for
my
30-year
career.
If
it
wasn't,
if
it
wasn't
for
them,
it
wouldn't
have
been
nearly
as
fun
and
I
really
appreciated
them.
Cheering
me
on.
I
look
forward
to
spending
more
time
with
my
three
girls
and
their
families.
My
eldest
does
live
in
australia
and
I
do
hope
to
spend
three
months
each
year
being
a
grandpa
to
her
two
kids.
K
In
closing,
in
closing,
I
want
to
give
a
huge
shout
out
to
casey
carl
who's
been
the
unsung
hero
of
my
life.
I've
learned
more
about
civics
politics,
democracy
assessing
at
times
in
the
short
time
that
I've
had
to
work
with
casey
and-
and
I
just
think
that
you
are
the
best.
So
congratulations
casey
or
thanks
for
being
being
there
for
me
and
then,
madam
president,
that's
really
all
I
have
to
say
thank
you
for
giving
me
the
opportunity
to
speak.
C
C
All
right
with
that,
we
will
move
to
our
next
honorary
resolution,
and
this
is
recognizing
the
service
and
leadership
of
our
budget
director
micah
intermil.
I've
asked
council
member
palmisano
to
read
this
honorary
resolution
as
chair
of
the
budget
committee,
and
we
will
be
able
to
make
our
comments
after
the
resolution
council
member.
N
Panasano,
thank
you,
president
bender.
I
do
have
the
pleasure
of
reading
micah
intermils
parting
resolution.
I
did
want
to
open
by
just
saying
in
and
not
resolution
speak
how
much
we've
all
appreciated.
Micah
intermil
director
you've
made
public
finance
very
accessible
to
the
public,
which
is
like
the
highest
order
of
good
around
here.
You've
made
you've
made
the
reasons
for
our
budget
and
are
all
of
our
budget
deliberations
very
knowable.
N
That
gives
us
power
that
gives
everybody
in
minneapolis
an
opportunity
to
participate
so
whether
it
was
technical
issues
or
emergency
issues.
Micah
has
done
five
budgets
during
his
time
here
and
he's
been
so
patient
with
us.
N
Performance
of
the
city
was
matched
by
keen
insight
and
an
even
sharper
wit
and
whereas
director
intermil
was
able
to
explain
complex
budgetary
transactions
in
true
plain
language
to
mayors,
city,
council,
members,
members
of
the
board
of
estimate
and
taxation
and,
most
importantly,
minneapolis
residents
to
ensure
broad
awareness
of
an
understanding
about
our
financial
health
and
budgetary
information,
publicly
accessible
in
new
ways.
Prioritizing
the
transparency
needed
for
good
governance
and
whereas
director
intermil,
envisioned
and
created
a
21st
century
budget
office.
N
Doing
the
hard
work
of
implementing
new
systems
and
technologies,
refining
processes,
broadening
access
and
helping
to
educate
policymakers
and
residents
on
budgetary
implications
of
policy
decisions.
And
whereas
director
intramil
mastered
the
art
of
making
the
budget
team.
The
enterprise
equivalent
of
switzerland
a
neutral
party
among
differing
sides
of
budget
issues
that
also
ensured
the
city.
The
city
operated
on
time
and.
J
Thank
you,
madam
president,
director
intramil,
you
have
done
such
an
incredible
job,
navigating
some
of
the
most
difficult
and
complex
financial
situations
that
our
city
has
ever
faced.
J
J
You've
approached
every
single
situation,
with
a
level
of
positivity,
at
least
to
my
face
that
I'm
sure
may
not
have
have
continued
behind
closed
doors,
but
you
you've
come
into
the
room,
ready
to
to
work
ready
to
get
the
job
done
for
our
residents,
and
you
have
gotten
the
job
done
every
step
of
the
way.
J
You
know
some
something
that
a
few
people
probably
know
about
micah
unless
you've
worked
with
him
a
whole
lot
directly
because
he
likes
to
speak
in
analogies
and
it's
those
analogies
that
enable
him
to
reduce
some
of
the
most
complex
financial
items
to
understandable
terms,
and
I've
seen
him
do
that
in
some
of
the
community
based
budget
sessions.
J
That
he's
taken
part
of
I've
seen
him
do
that
for
me,
when
I'm
trying
to
understand
some
of
these
more
complex
formulas
that
he's
throwing
up
on
the
whiteboard,
but
your
service
to
our
residents
through
this
most
difficult
time
has
been
of
paramount
importance.
We
would
not
have
gotten
through
this,
but
for
your
work,
mr
intermil,
and
we
I
as
a
mayor
and
we
collectively
as
a
city,
cannot
thank
you
enough
you're
going
to
go
on
to
do
some
tremendous
things.
B
Thank
you,
council,
president,
michael,
I'm
really
sorry
to
see
you
leaving.
I
think
we
have
started
something
here
and
I
think
we
we
have
a
lot
more
work
to
do.
I
think
the
the
work
that
you've
done
done
to
help
to
help
us
as
policy
makers
really
understand
what
what
the
choices
are
that
we're
really
making
in
the
budget
in
a
way
that
lets
us
really
consider
and
reflect
our
city's
values
in
the
budgeting
process.
It
is.
B
It
is
something
that
we
all
are
really
grateful
for
and
and
that
I
hope
we
continue.
I
think
there's
been
a
real
commitment
to
increasing
transparency
and
increasing
increasing
the
clarity
of
of
what
budget
actions
mean
and
how
they're
reflected
so
that
the
public
can
understand
what's
happening
so
that
policymaker's
intent
actually
gets
reflected
in
the
budget
in
a
meaningful
way.
Those
are
no
small
things,
they're
very
important,
and
we
have
a
lot
more
work
to
do.
B
I
think
to
continue
increasing
transparency,
to
continue
increasing
participation
options,
and
we
will
continue
that
work.
We
will
take
inspiration
from
what
you've
achieved
here
and
I
wish
you
the
absolute
best
in
your
future
endeavors.
Thank
you
for
all
of
your
work
for
the
city.
H
Mr
intermil,
I
just
wanted
to
just
congratulate
you
on
your
new
opportunities
and,
as
many
have
said,
I'm
really
sad
to
see
you
leaving
the
city
of
minneapolis
and
taking
with
you
all
of
the
financial
savvy
and
awareness
that
you've
helped
us
to
make
really
critical
decisions
around
how
we
prioritize
our
budget
to
best
meet
the
needs
of
our
residents,
and
so
you
know
best
of
luck
to
to
you
in
the
future,
and
I
really
am
proud
to
have
you
as
a
constituent
in
the
eighth
ward
throughout
my
term,
and
I
know
you
have
just
relocated
but
stayed
in
the
eighth
ward
and
so
just
look
forward
to
many
more
interactions
with
you
and
your
family
over
the
years
and
as
mayor
frye
stated,
please
stay
in
touch
with
us
here
at
the
city
of
minneapolis.
M
Thank
you,
madam
president,
micah.
I
just
you
know
how
much
I
appreciate
you
hopefully
from
our
exchanges,
but
I
just
also
want
to
just
say
in
for
the
public
record
how
much
I
am
absolutely
deeply
grateful
for
you
and
your
service
to
the
city
of
minneapolis.
M
I
think
it's
perfectly
summed
up
about
you
maintaining
the
budget
office
as
switzerland.
The
budget
can
be
one
of
the
most
politically,
if
not
the
most
politically
contentious
moment
process
that
we
have
to
navigate
as
elected
officials
with
the
help
of
city
staff,
and
that
could
be
very
challenging.
M
While
we
all
share
the
same
outcome,
some
of
us
have
different
ideas
about
how
to
be
able
to
get
there,
and
you
help
equally
fairly
present
factually
based
pathways
to
be
able
to
to
operationalize
and
invest
in
the
various
pathways
that
that
we
see
we
wouldn't
be
able
to
do
this
work.
We
would
not
have
been
able
to
do
this
work
without
you,
and
so
I'm
very
grateful
for
that.
I'm
grateful
for
the
level
of
responsiveness
that
you've
had.
M
We
had
you
three
for
three
ward,
four
annual
budget
overview,
I'm
so
grateful
for
you
doing
that
year
after
year,
ward
4
constituents
have
a
better
understanding
of
the
budget,
the
budget
process
how
to
get
plugged
in
because
you
have
been
directly
involved
in
that
civic
engagement
process.
So
I
thank
you,
I'm
very
sad
and
sorry
to
see
you
go,
but
I'm
also
very
happy
for
you
as
you
go
off
to
your
next
endeavors.
I
hope
that
you'll
stay
in
touch
thanks,
michael
for
your
service.
N
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
did
just
want
to
pop
in
here
and
just
say
a
couple
of
more
personal
notes
about
micah
intermil.
You
know
one
of
micah's
greatest
strengths
that
he
gave
to
us
and
gave
to
our
city
was
his
financial
skills
and
his
financial
savvy,
but
in
a
way
that
really
helped
us
stay
rooted
in
our
values
and
stay
focused
in
our
goals.
N
When
we
were
talking
to
him-
and
you
know,
as
we
would
get
deep
in
the
weeds,
he
would
be
good
at
when
he
needed
to
kind
of
yank
us
up
out
of
it
and
really
talk
about
well.
This
is
what
you
said
matters.
N
I
know
that
we
will
all
really
miss
micah's
analogies
as
mayor
frye
mentioned,
my
favorites
were
his
corkscrew
analogy
for
biennial
budgeting,
and
this
really
beautiful
creative
arrows
display
that
he
made.
That
helps
to
remind
me
when
and
how
policymakers
should
be
involved
in
some
of
the
day-to-day
budget
needs
of
city
departments.
N
I
will
always
remember
how
enthusiastic
micah
was
about
his
travel
tips
for
people
road
tripping
through
nebraska,
his
home
state,
and
I
recommend
his
travel
tips
to
anybody
and
their
families.
N
His
sense
of
humor
was
was
pretty
remarkable
in
in
his
field,
and
his
participation
in
public
discourse
and
his
willingness
to
participate
in
all
of
our
award
forums
was
really
really
benefited
a
lot
of
people.
So
if
we
were
in
person,
there
would
actually
be
hugs.
I
think
in
council
chambers
today
so
I'll
just
say
that,
even
though
you
know
both
micah
and
I
aren't
exactly
real
emotional
people
in
public,
I
think
there
would
be
hugs
thanks.
L
L
I
also
want
to
add
to
the
list
of
quotables,
though,
for
micah
too
is
is
his
question
on
how
we
and
this
is
a
bit
of
an
inside
joke,
but
I
apologize,
but
I
think
it's
important
to
to
say
he
asked
the
question:
how
can
we
have
ongoing
one
times?
That
was
always
one
thing
that
I
know
is
both
a
joke
and
a
seriousness
about
saying:
hey,
let's
be
intentional
about
our
programs.
If
we're
going
to
commit
to
provide
a
service,
let's
commit
long
term,
so
thank
you,
micah.
L
O
Congratulations
mike
aldo.
I
only
had
a
chance
to
work
with
you
for
four
months.
I
would
like
to
thank
you
for
bringing
me
up
to
speed
on
the
2020
revised
budget
and
then
also
on
the
2021
budget.
I
know
it
was
a
challenging
time
for
the
budget
office,
so
I
really
appreciate
you
taking
the
time
you
know,
as
I
transitioned
into
my
my
new
role.
You
know
as
you
move
into
your
next
adventure
as
a
leader.
C
Thank
you,
micah.
I
will
welcome
you
to
speak,
but
just
want
to
also
offer
my
own
personal
thanks
for
your
service.
We
are
going
to
miss
you
so
much
and,
as
we've
heard
in
the
comments
you
bring
so
much
heart
and
humor
to
this
work,
but
also
just
a
really
serious
commitment
to
using
the
budget
to
bring
to
life
our
values,
to
think
creatively
about
how
our
investments
meet
our
goals
or
don't
you're,
honest
and
direct.
C
P
Thank
you,
council,
president
and
council.
Vice
president
mayor
frye,
chair,
palmisano
and
and
council
members,
I
I'm
not
a
quote
person
but
having
attended
the
the
humphrey
school
and
wrapping
up
this
this
job
at
the
city
of
minneapolis.
P
I
can't
not
quote
former
mayor
hubert
humphrey
and
my
my
favorite
quote
of
his
is
the
worst
thing
a
person
can
think
is
that
they
made
it
on
their
own,
and
so,
as
I
have
reminded
the
council
every
year,
the
budget
is
is
an
all
of
us
thing.
It's
not
a
budget
office
thing,
so
I
do
certainly
want
to
thank
the
as
dushani
said,
the
the
phenomenal
team
I'm
leaving
behind
that
I'm
very
sad
to
leave
behind
in
the
budget
office.
P
P
I
absolutely
want
to
thank
my
family.
I
I
come
by
public
service.
Honestly,
my
parents
are
bureaucrats,
and
I
it
truly
is
noble
whether
whether
you're
on
the
elected
side
or
the
staff
side,
I
appreciate
everyone
at
the
city
for
all
of
the
time
they
they
put
into
making
this
a
better
place
for
everybody.
P
Another
quote
that
sticks,
in
my
mind,
is
from
former
council.
Vice
president
elizabeth
glidden,
my
my
first
budget
was
her
last
budget
and
at
the
at
the
deus
on
adoption
night.
She
said
you
know
mr
intermil
don't
get
used
to
this
because
there
weren't
any
tears.
There
wasn't
any
fighting.
This
wasn't
a
real
budget
and
I
thought
to
myself.
Well
that's
odd.
P
It
certainly
shouldn't
have
to
be
that
way,
and
it
doesn't
have
to
be
that
way,
and
I
think
that
we
proved
that
this
year
I
mean
they're.
The
city
of
minneapolis
is
facing
a
lot
of
big
challenges
and
we
are
fortunate
to
have
policy
makers
who
are
willing
to
take
them
on
and
those
big
challenges
come
squarely
to
a
head
in
in
the
budget,
which
is
much
more
than
an
exercise
of
numbers.
It's
it's
about.
P
And
I
think
that
we,
I
I
appreciated.
Hearing
council
president
council
member
fletcher
remind
us
that
our
goal
on
every
issue
shouldn't
be
a
13-0
vote.
It's
okay
to
disagree
and-
and
I
think
it
was
good
to
see
individual
components
of
this
budget-
come
together
with
some
disagreement,
because
that
reflects
where
we
are
in
in
minneapolis
today.
But
most
important
was
a
unanimous
vote
to
adopt
that
budget
and
that
that
represents
the
the
consensus
that
is
so
strongly
needed
in
our
our
politics
and
policy
making
today.
P
So
I
do
want
to
commend
the
council
for
for
getting
there.
And
lastly,
I
I
just
I
want
to
thank
the
people
of
minneapolis.
I
we
making
the
budget
accessible
made
a
lot
of
sense
to
me
and
my
brain,
but
you
know
it
was
a
little
bit
of
a
risk.
P
We
didn't
know
if
people
would
engage
and
you
really
have
and
that's
pretty
fantastic
and-
and
I
I
know
that
that
will
continue,
and
I
I
think
that
it
just
will
continue
to
to
make
what
is
already
a
phenomenal
world-class
city.
A
much
better
place,
so
thank
you
again
to
to
all
of
you,
and
I
really
do
appreciate
this
honor,
no
matter
how
uncomfortable
it
might
be.
For
me
in
the
moment,.
C
H
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
you
know
I
I
do
want
to
just
really
shout
out
ms
michelle
rivero
in
for
bringing
this
day
to
my
intention
and
and
her
assistance
in
developing
this
resolution.
H
Recognizing
international
migrants
day
in
honor
of
the
contributions
and
challenges
faced
by
migrants
in
the
united
states
and
abroad,
whereas
in
1997,
filipino
and
other
asian
migrant
organizations
began
celebrating
and
promoting
december
18th
as
international
day
of
solidarity
with
migrants
chosen,
because
it
was
on
december
18th.
1990
that
the
united
nations
adopted
the
international
convention
on
the
protections
of
the
rights
of
all
migrant
workers
and
members
of
their
families.
H
And
whereas
migrants
make
significant
contributions,
including
bringing
their
culture,
new
skills
and
knowledge
to
destination
locations,
and
also
sending
remittances
money
to
family
and
friends
back
home
therein
offering
valuable
support
to
not
only
their
destination
locations
but
also
to
their
locations
of
origin
and
whereas
in
2020,
despite
a
highly
contagious
and
lethal
global
coronavirus
pandemic,
there
are
over
16
000
migrants
or
non-citizens
around
the
country
detained
in
immigration
custody
by
the
united
states,
immigration
and
customs
enforcement
or
ice
unit.
As
the
of
the
department
of
homeland
security.
H
And
whereas,
at
the
time
of
these
letters
there
were
zero
reported
cases
of
covet
19
among
ice
detainees
in
minnesota.
And
whereas
early
in
the
pandemic,
minnesota
facilities
were
spared
covet
cases.
By
summer
there
were
a
smattering
of
covet
cases
in
minnesota
facilities,
holding
immigration
detainees
and
as
of
december
16th
2020.
H
H
Four,
as
immigration
detainees
represent
a
non-bian
voluntary
congregate
setting
community
facilitate
the
provision
of
covet
19
vaccine
to
this
detained
population
in
an
expedited
fashion
and
five
identify
and
implement
any
and
all
alternatives
to
detention.
That
may
exist
so
as
to
limit
the
human
rights
violations
that
result
from
an
indefinite
detention
of
migrants
who
comprise
a
class
of
individuals
subject
to
incarceration
solely
because
of
the
lack
of
their
immigration
status.
H
Madam
president,
I
believe
that
ms
robero
may
have
some
additional
remarks,
as
well
as
some
external
individuals
who
would
like
to
speak
to
this
resolution.
C
Thank
you,
council.
Vice
president,
ms
rivera,
are
you
on
the
line
we'd
be
happy
to
hear
your
remarks
and
we
also
are
excited
to
invite
kathy
mochio,
an
immigration
attorney
and
law,
professor
from
the
university
of
minnesota,
banger
center
for
new
americans
and
hani,
and
hannah
lichten
director
and
co-founder
of
the
minnesota
immigrant
health
care
alliance.
Q
R
Thank
you.
This
is
kathy
mochio
and
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
be
here.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
this
important
resolution.
R
I
am
an
assistant
professor
in
at
the
banger
center
for
new
americans
at
the
university
of
minnesota
law
school,
where
we
work
with
detained
immigrants,
and
I
can
assure
you
that
the
targeting
of
immigrants
within
our
community
is
having
an
adverse
impact
on
the
well-being
of
the
community
itself,
and
nowhere
is
that
more
apparent
than
in
the
detention
of
immigrants
where
folks
cut
off
from
family
and
community
languish
and
jails.
R
It
is
an
opaque
and
dangerous
system
that
they're
swept
up
into
often
for
years,
and
nowhere
is
that
more
apparent
than
now
with
the
outbreak
of
covid.
Even
when
ice
is
aware
that
an
individual
has
a
co-morbidity
that
places
them
at
risk
of
serious
illness
if
exposed
to
covet
the
default
is
to
detain,
rather
than
recognize
the
constitutional
standard
of
liberty.
R
That
danger
of
detention
has
now
become
life-threatening
for
many
of
the
individuals
who
are
trapped
in
these
jails.
With
the
rapid
spread
of
covet,
it
is
bad
policy
for
localities
to
profit
off
of
the
detention
of
migrants,
and
I
applaud
the
council's
efforts
to
act
to
end
the
mass
incarceration
of
immigration.

and
a
co-founder
of
the
minnesota
immigrant
health
alliance.
Today
in
minnesota,
we
are
guilty
of
violating
the
basic
human
rights
of
our
brothers
and
sisters
who
are
held
in
ice
detention.
Q
The
treatment
of
the
detainees
in
kandiyohi
county
during
the
past
weeks
is
reprehensible
and
as
a
doctor
and
as
a
mandated
reporter,
it
is
my
ethical
duty
to
step
in
when
vulnerable
people
are
being
harmed
because
of
the
jail's
disregard
of
public
health
guidelines.
Entire
units
of
detainees
in
kandy
ohio
are
now
sick,
with
colbit
for
the
crime
of
not
having
the
right
immigration
paperwork,
and
we
can't
allow
this
to
continue.
Q
We
know
that
jail
is
not
a
safe
place
during
a
pandemic.
That's
why
in
minnesota,
we
have
changed
policy
to
decrease
the
number
of
people
sent
to
jail
on
minor
criminal
charges,
but
with
their
numbers
down,
several
counties
in
our
state
have
used
that
empty
space
to
grow
their
contracts
with
ice
filling
our
jails
with
people
held.
Despite
committing
no
crime,
they
are
treating
our
immigrant
aunties
and
uncles
as
a
commodity
to
earn
money
by
filling
beds.
Q
Our
country
stripped
away
the
liberty
from
these
people
and
then
failed
at
me
meeting
even
basic
standards
of
public
health
prevention
and
health
care.
Solitary
consignment
is
being
used
in
place
of
adequate
medical
care.
There
is
no
transparency
and
even
less
oversight
of
the
care
provided
to
detainees
in
our
county
jails,
and
we
can
end
this.
Q
Q
We
are
asking
for
ice
detainees
to
be
released
and
until
that
day
comes
for
our
state
to
ensure
that
every
person
held
in
detention
has
access
to
high
quality
medical
care,
adequate
coverage
prevention,
including
population
limits
and
urgent
access
to
the
covid
vaccine,
and
to
make
sure
this
is
done.
Well,
we
are
asking
for
the
creation
of
a
medical
oversight
board
with
the
authority
to
do
meaningful.
Q
A
meaningful
assessment
of
the
medical
care
provided
to
people
held
by
ice
in
our
state
ice
wants
these
people
our
neighbors,
our
co-workers,
people
who
have
migrated
from
one
place
to
another
to
disappear,
and
we
cannot
let
that
happen
so
to
the
council
and
mayor
frye.
Thank
you
for
honoring
the
humanity
of
our
immigrant
communities
by
standing
up
for
their
dignity
and
basic
human
rights
and
to
everyone
else.
Listening
today,
please
join
us
in
this
fight
for
justice.
Thank
you.
C
Thank
you
and
thank
you
for
your
powerful
words
and
all
of
your
work
as
well,
and
thank
you
to
ms
michelle
rivero
who
is
not
here,
but
is
the
director
of
our
office
of
immigrant
refugee
affairs,
are
small
but
important
investment
in
this
work
at
the
city.
Would
anyone
else
like
to
speak
about
this
resolution.
C
Cnn,
thank
you
again
to
both
of
our
guests
and
to
council
vice
president
for
bringing
this
forward.
We
will
officially
adopt
this
leader
in
the
agenda,
so
this
complete
concludes
our
honorary
resolutions
and
brings
us
to
the
new
business
portion
of
our
agenda.
We'll
begin
with
the
mayor's
final
report
of
the
year
about
the
state
of
our
local
health
emergency,
which
has
been
in
place
since
march,
addressing
the
city's
response
to
coven
19
welcome
mayor.
J
Thank
you,
madam
president,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
share
this
final.
As
you
mentioned
covet
report
for
2020,
I
will
be
brief.
As
we've
had
a
number
of
resolutions-
and
I
know
you
still
have
business
to
undergo,
we've
had
19
emergency
regulations.
To
date,
I
won't
read
through
moving
on
to
the
health
by
the
numbers.
The
total
approximate
number
of
completed
tests
thus
far
have
been
five
million.
Thirty
three
thousand
one
hundred
and
twenty
nine.
J
That's
roughly
seven
hundred
thousand
more
than
last
report,
and
this
also
includes
antigen
tests
for
minnesota
case
information.
I
will
touch
on
a
few
of
the
data
points
that
you
see
here.
The
total
positive
cases
have
been
389
thousand
one
hundred
seventy
one.
The
patients
who
no
longer
need
to
be
isolated
counts
at
three
hundred.
Fifty
eight
thousand
six
hundred
sixty
seven,
that's
a
hundred
sixty
five
thousand
more
than
last
report,
so
significantly
up
with
4
658
deaths.
J
As
for
hospitalization,
the
total
cases
hospitalized
there
are
20
172
and
the
total
cases
hospitalized
in
an
icu
is
4
three
for
minneapolis
case
specific
information.
The
total
positive
cases
are
at
twenty.
Six
thousand.
Nine
hundred
forty
eight
with
one
thousand
nine
hundred
twenty
five
hospitalized
twenty
five
thousand
one
hundred
seven
recovered
and
tragically
317
deceased.
J
There
are
there's
some
minneapolis
demographic
data
that
is
there
for
you.
I'm
sure
questions
can
be
answered,
but
I
will
I
will
skip
ahead.
Is
for
the
health
department's
situational
updates.
The
total
number
of
cases
have
increased
by
5.1
percent.
Over
the
previous
week,
hospitalizations
have
increased
by
2.9
and
icu
admissions
increased
by
1.6.
J
The
number
of
cases
have
been
decreasing
from
the
level
seen
in
november,
but
we're
still
at
twice
the
numbers
we
were
seeing
in
late
september
and
mid-october,
and
so
it's
a
trend
that
we
have
to
continue
to
monitor
for
situational
updates
the
this
past
weekend.
I'm
sorry
this
past
wednesday,
governor
walls
announced
loosened
restrictions
from
executive
order
20-99
starting
on
friday
december
18th.
The
following
will
go
into
effect
bars
and
restaurants
will
be
allowed
to
resume
outdoor
dining.
J
J
Fitness
studios
and
gyms
will
be
able
to
reopen
at
25
capacity,
no
showers
or
pools
with
a
100
person
limit
people
have
to
wear
masks
and
maintain
12
feet
of
social
distancing
and
fitness
classes
can
resume
starting
january
4th
if
everything
stays
the
same.
As
for
youth,
sports
teams,
they'll
be
able
to
start
practicing
on
january,
4th
on
family
gatherings
will
be
allowed
inside
with
one
household
up
to
10
people
outside
and
gather
with
up
to
two
other
households
and
a
maximum
of
15
people.
J
J
The
health
department
continues
to
conduct
follow-up
on
individuals
diagnosed
with
covet
19,
as
well
as
contact
tracing
at
workplaces
and
with
exposed
individuals
and
of
the
cases
in
minneapolis.
59.8
percent
have
been
interviewed
and
1.8
percent
have
refused.
21
of
interviews
of
minneapolis
residents
have
been
conducted
in
a
language
other
than
english
for
state-sponsored
saliva
testing.
J
In
the
past
week,
223
covet
19
saliva
tests
were
provided
at
a
testing
events
held
at
the
minneapolis
american
indian
center
columbia,
manor
in
northeast
minneapolis
and
its
sabathany
community
center
in
south
free
saliva
testing,
hosted
by
the
state
health
department
at
minneapolis
convention
center,
the
minneapolis-st
paul
airport
and
at
the
brooklyn
park
starlight
center.
The
state
is
also
offering
free,
at-home
saliva
tests,
mhd
distribution.
Yes,
a
lot.
C
I
did
have
a
question,
which
is
what
do
you
think
of
this
juxtaposition
between
the
dramatic
spike
in
cases
and
the
rolling
back
of
restrictions
at
the
state,
and
are
you
considering
local
regulations
or
action?
That's
different
than
what
the
state's
putting
in
place
now.
J
J
In
other
words,
they
will
be
a
minimum,
and
so
yes,
I
have
actually
asked
our
health
department,
commissioner,
to
come
forward
with
a
series
of
recommendations
given
their
expertise,
to
provide
us
with
some
information
as
to
whether
we
should
be
going
above
and
beyond
in
any
of
these
areas,
and
so
I
think,
they're
actively
working
on
those
recommendations
right
now.
I
don't
want
to
presuppose
what
they
might
be,
but
you
know
obviously
in
minneapolis,
given
the
density
and
proximity
of
population,
we're
encountering
different
difficulties
than
other
areas
of
the
state.
So
it's
a
good
question.
J
Yes,
we
are
in
touch
with
other
mayors
matter
of
fact,
I
was
just
talking
with
mayor
carter
yesterday.
You
know,
I
I
think
there
are
a
number
of
jurisdictions
in
and
around
sort
of
the
metro
region.
That
would
have
some
at
least
openness
to
providing
additional
restriction.
Given
the
again
the
proximity
of
population
and
the
the
the
case
data
that
we're
seeing.
J
I
think
there
is
more
of
an
ambivalence
in
other
areas
that
have
less
of
a
density
and
and
mayors
that
are
that
are
further
in
greater
minnesota
mayors
and
councils.
I
would
say.
C
J
No,
no,
no
worries
at
all
yeah
you're
right
I
mean
there
are.
There
are
certain
areas
of
the
state
that
are
in
rural
areas
that
have
been
even
hit
even
harder
than
in
the
twin
cities,
and
I
think,
that's
in
part
due
to
the
aggressive
action
that
we
took
fairly
early
and
and
the
fact
by
the
fact
that
I
believe
you
know.
J
For
the
most
part,
our
residents
are
complying
with,
with
the
vast
majority
of
the
regulations
and
orders
that
have
been
put
in
place-
and
you
know
I
I
think
I
I
think
as
you
as
I
men
mentioned.
As
you
mentioned,
some
of
the
ambivalence
by
you
know
in
greater
minnesota
has
to
do
with
with
case
data
in
some
instances,
other
others
has
to
do
with.
J
So
the
moving
on
to
the
situational
updates
in
minnesota,
I'm
sorry!
I
already
did
that
the.
J
Mhd
will
contract
with
hennepin
county
health
to
provide
the
actual
the
shots
themselves
and
will
work
with
hennepin
healthcare
and
members
of
the
pharmacy
partnership
program.
To
assure
that
the
vaccinations
of
staff
and
residents
in
all
long-term
care
facilities
in
minneapolis
the
next
1a
priority
groups
are
ems,
dialysis
providers,
assisted
living
facilities
and
intermediate
and
residential
care
facilities.
H
Thank
you
so
much,
madam
president,
and
mayor
frye,
for
this
update.
You
know.
First
of
all,
I
do
just
want
to
offer
my
sincere
condolences
to
the
families
of
all
of
the
the
the
minnesotans
and
many
politicians
who
have
perished
from
the
covet,
19
and
and
offer
you
know
best
wishes
and
and
speedy
recoveries
to
those
who
have
been
hospitalized
and
tested
positive.
But
I
wanted
to
just
note
around
the
vaccinations
that,
as
we
move
through
these
priority
groups-
and
you
know,
frontline
workers,
medical
providers.
H
That
we
are
prioritizing
our
communities
of
color
that
we
know
have
been
hit
hardest
by
these
by
this
pandemic,
and
so,
as
we
begin
to
really
plan
how
this
distribution
is
going
to
happen,
you
know
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
including
some
of
the
most
vulnerable
susceptible
people
in
our
community
beyond
the
the
groups
that
you,
the
priority
groups
that
you
just
named,
and
I'm
certainly
willing
to
be
a
part
of
that
conversation.
J
J
For
winter
holiday
celebrations,
we're
using
the
hashtag
it's
hashtag
holidayaskwearamask
and
to
prepare
for
end
of
year
gatherings
the
safest
way
to
celebrate.
If
you
gather
indoors,
is
with
one
other
household
up
to
10
people
or
outdoors
with
up
to
two
other
households.
That's
the
way
some
of
the
restrictions
are
put
in
place,
but
again
limit
limit
your
travel.
You
know
stay
at
home.
J
If
you
can,
if
you
must
go
out,
please
it's
important
to
wear
a
mask
and
stay
six
feet
away
from
others
and
and
wash
and
sanitize
your
hands,
often
as
well
for
procurement.
There
were
no
new
purchases
for
this
report.
As
of
december
17
2020,
there
has
been
nine
million
one
hundred
twenty
thousand
one
hundred
fifteen
spent.
The
total
number
includes
only
purchases
made
through
the
emergency
purchase
regulation,
which
allows
for
emergency
covet
19
purchases
to
be
expedited
to
respond
to
urgent
coveted
response
needs.
J
J
You
should
have
reports
on
both
mpd
and
some
of
the
crime
statistics,
some
of
the
work
that's
done
around
gun,
violence,
response
team,
as
well
as
as
well
as
gun,
recovery
and
collection
and-
and
there
should
be
some
information
around
with
the
work
that
the
fire
department
is
doing
well
around
community
engagement,
as
well
as
delivering
some
great
gifts
to
m
to
the
hcmc
burn
patients,
but
I'll
move
on
here
to
state
and
federal
activity.
A
Thank
you
mayor
president.
Thank
you
mayor.
Yes,
just
on.
Thank
you
for
the
reports
on
mpd
there's,
certainly
some
good
work
I
also
just
want
to
highlight.
There
was
also
a
very
damning
report
by
the
minnesota
reformer
that
really
detailed
some
of
the
lack
of
discipline
and
action
on
that
in
mpd.
I
don't
need
to
blabber
the
point.
I
don't
need
answers
now.
A
J
Is
for
state
and
federal
activity
on
and
and
council
member
and
yes,
the
I
I
did
have
the
opportunity
to
read
the
port,
as
did
as
did
the
chief.
Although
many
of
the
items
have
you
know
preceded
all
of
our
times
in
office,
I
think
it
highlighted
some
really
crucial
elements
that
that
deserve
answers,
and
so
you
know,
rather
than
just
give
kind
of
one-off
iterative
responses.
J
I
think
it's
important
that
we
do
a
real,
deep
dive
here
and
and
provide
some
of
the
answers
that
are
that
are
necessary
and
I
I've
already
discussed
the
matter
with
the
chief.
J
I
don't
know
if
he's
on
at
the
moment,
you
know
he
could
describe
some
of
his
disciplinary
efforts
which,
by
the
way,
have
been
more
on
a
monthly
basis
than
at
the
very
least,
the
two,
the
two
or
three
previous
chiefs,
so
the
the
number
of
disciplines
and
terminations
have
definitively
gone
up,
but
chief,
if
you're
there,
you
can
perhaps
speak
a
bit
to
that.
J
On
monday,
the
legislature
reconvened
for
the
seventh
and
final
special
session
of
2020
and
the
special
session
was
called
once
again
to
renew
the
governor's
emergency
peacetime
order
and
powers.
Along
with
renewing
the
powers.
The
legislature
also
approved
the
216
million
dollar
business
relief
package.
J
14
million
dollars
is
appropriated
to
the
minnesota
department
of
employment
and
economic
development,
who
will
administer
a
grant
program
for
movie
theaters
and
convention
centers
movie
theaters
can
receive
up
to
150
000
and
convention
centers
can
receive
up
to
500
000,
along
with
financial
relief.
The
package
also
includes
regulatory
relief
for
various
state
licenses
and
fees,
and
also
extends
the
state
unemployment
insurance
program
through
april
10th
2021..
J
As
for
the
federal
update,
congress
is
close
to
reaching
an
agreement
on
a
fourth
wave
of
coronavirus
relief
that
almost
900
that
the
almost
900
billion
dollar
agreement
does
not
include
funding
for
state
and
local
governments.
Also,
it
does
not
include
business
liability
protections,
two
items
that
were
sticking
points
in
moving
an
agreement
forward
for
gab
funding.
J
The
1596
households
have
been
approved
for
emergency
assistance
payments
through
the
minneapolis
gap,
funds
for
housing
program,
totaling,
2
million
hundred
eighteen
thousand,
two
hundred
twenty
seven
dollars
and
twenty
one
cents.
As
of
tuesday
december
fifteenth
community
prevention,
partners
and
city
staff
are
working
through
the
verification
and
approval
process
for
the
last
175
applications
on
the
emergency,
housing
assistance
list
and
staff
expect
the
final
applications
to
be
processed
by
the
end
of
this
month.
J
J
The
small
business
loan
was
awarded
to
173
businesses-
that's
not
news,
and
with
that.
Thank
you.
For
the
time
today,
I'm
happy
to
stand
for
additional
questions.
C
I
don't
see
any
so

will
conclude
this
item
on
our
agenda,
I'll
direct
the

nicolette
and
item
number
25
are
putting
in
place
the
built
form
policies
to
complement
the
2040
plan.
With
that,
I
will.
I
understand
there
are
a
couple
of
amendments,
so
I'm
not
sure
how
you
want
to
handle
this.
E
C
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
I
think
so
we
do
have
a
motion
on
22
and
a
motion
on
25.
C
S
S
We
did
amend
this
emergency
or
shelter
ordinance
a
few
years
ago
and
we
found
that
providers
were
coming
to
us
and
wanted
to
do
things
that
we
were
still
preventing
with
our
ordinance.
So
this
is
opening
it
up
a
little
bit
more
probably
the
most
significant
thing
is.
We
are
now
opening
it
in
industrial
areas.
It
will
allow
the
indoor
villages,
proposals
or
proposals
that
we
have
before
us
to
proceed.
S
It
also
opens
up
much
more
of
the
city
for
shelters,
taking
away
many
of
the
hurdles,
we've
heard
make
it
difficult
for
folks
to
open
shelters.
You
know
it's
one
part
of
our
response
to
the
crisis
of
unsheltered
homelessness.
We
still
need
to
do
more,
but
this
is
a
really
big
step
in
the
right
direction
and
I
hope
people
take
advantage
of
it.
M
Thank
you.
Madam
president.
I
just
wanted
to
speak
to
a
couple
of
items
very
quickly.
I'm
very
excited
about
the
great
streets
grants
we
have
for
the
first
time,
three
awardees
in
ward,
four,
which
is
unprecedented
and
really
exciting.
We
have
very
little
coordinated
commercial
activity
happening
in
our
community.
M
It's
something
that
a
lot
of
folks
have
asked
for
for
a
long
time,
and
so
I'm
very
excited
to
see
the
city
investing
in
ward
4
in
this
way-
and
I
also
just
want
to
also
speak
to-
I
think
it's.
The
next
item,
no
item
17,
which
is
there
are
two
ward
4
projects
that
are
being
that
we'll
be
receiving
at
the
hennepin
county.
Tod
grants
baldwin
square,
which
is
a
really
exciting
project.
That's
been
underway
for
quite
some
time
now.
M
I've
been
doing
a
lot
of
work
to
try,
help
us
move
through
that,
and
it's
ready
to
go.
We
recently
sold
the
sold
the
land
to
the
developer,
a
local
developer
and
so
really
excited
about
that
baldwin
square
after
james
baldwin.
So
it's
pretty
cool
and
then
we
have
two
properties:
commercial
properties
that
are
going
to
be
put
into
a
commercial
land,
trust
that
will
be
owned
by
the
community
to
be
able
to
really
convert
that.
M
That
area
has
been
a
hot
spot
of
gun,
violence
and
of
open
air
drug
markets
and
the
commun.
The
neighborhood
in
particular,
has
really
gathered
around
those
two
properties
and
and
want
to
undertake
this
project
as
an
opportunity
to
really
turn
that
into
an
asset
rather
than
a
liability
to
the
neighborhood.
So
I'm
very,
very
excited
for
for
those
two
items
and
just
want
to
thank
my
colleagues
and
and
the
staff
who
have
carried
a
lot
of
big
items
on
on
this
particular
agenda.
So
thank
you,
madam
president.
H
Well,
thank
you.
Madam
president,
I
just
wanted
to
just
comment
on
the
3301
nicolet
project
that
is
is
finally
receiving
the
tax
credits.
This
is
a
deeply
affordable
project
that
will
be
in
the
lindell
neighborhood
and
just
wanted
to
express
my
gratitude
that
we
are
finally
able
to
get
this
this
project
moving
forward.
C
Thank
you.
This
is
a
huge
agenda
with
so
many
amazing
pieces
of
work.
So
thank
you
so
much
to
all
the
staff,
who've
helped
negotiate
and
shape
the
affordable
housing
projects
that
are
being
funded.
The
staff
who've
been
working
for
many
years
on
our
regulations,
around
homeless,
shelters,
expanding
opportunity
for
shelter,
and
thanks
to
the
authors
of
that
customer
gordon
and
I
did
a
initial
version
of
that
back
in
2014
and
the
staff
have
been
working
on
it
ever
since
and
so
appreciated.
B
Thank
you,
council
president.
I
I
was
going
to
say
something
very
similar
which
is
just
this
is
an
incredibly
impressive
body
of
work
that
the
business
committee
put
through.
So
thank
you
to
everybody
on
this
committee
and
thank
you
to
all
of
the
city
staff
who
have
been
working
on
housing,
we're
seeing
some
really
exciting
things
coming
through.
I
just
wanted
to
comment
briefly
just
to
acknowledge.
B
I
I
had
a
meeting,
and
I
know
many
of
us
have
met
with
the
folks
at
beacon,
interfaith
and
and
we're
we're
to
a
place
now
where
we've
developed
our
affordable
housing
work
such
that
we're
getting
a
lot
more
applications
for
affordable
housing
trust
fund
dollars
than
than
we
can
meet,
and
so
I
I
you
know,
I
want
to
support
the
recommendations
of
this
committee
today.
I
also
think
it's
worth
continually
evaluating
as
the
housing
market
changes
as
housing
opportunities
change.
Are
we
getting
the
best
possible
results?
B
Are
we
getting
as
as
high
a
mix
of
30
ami
units
as
possible
out
of
the
investments
that
we're
making
in
other
ways
that
we
should
adjust
policy
moving
forward?
None
of
that
is
to
undermine
the
terrific
work,
and
I
just
wanted
to
acknowledge
the
feedback.
We've
gotten
and
I
think
the
value
in
continuing
to
evaluate
the
the
work
moving
forward.
So
we
can
keep
getting
the
best
results
for
our
city,
but
thank
you
to
everybody.
Who's
been
involved
in
all
of
this.
It's
it's
terrific
work.
C
E
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
was
going
to
suggest
that
we
also
pull
number
25,
and
I
do
want
to
note
for
folks
who
haven't
had
the
opportunity
to
serve
on
any
of
these
multiple
committees
that
has
become
the
swan
committee
that
every
year
the
affordable
housing
trust
fund
guidelines
are
brought
to
us
every
year.
T
Thank
you,
council
president.
You
know,
I
not
gonna,
say
anything
too
much
different,
but
I
just
wanted
to
speak
on
the
beacon
project
because
it
is
in
my
ward.
I
think
that
the
recommendations
that
we've
gotten
from
staff
are
incredible,
we've
gone
from,
like
closing,
you
know,
somewhere
on
average
of
four
projects
a
year
to
to
up
upwards
of
ten
or
more
projects,
and
I
think
that
speaks
to
the
incredible
work
that
we're
getting
from
staff.
T
But
I
also
want
to
reassure
the
folks
at
beacon
and
and
for
folks
who
weren't
awarded
that
you
know.
We,
even
though
we're
upping
our
investment,
even
though
we
are,
we
are
committed
to
building
affordable
housing.
T
I
know
that
this
project,
in
my
ward,
has
has
received
a
mix
of
of
of
great
support
and
also
some
push
back
in
in
the
ward
that
I
think
that
this
is
absolutely
a
project
that
is
is
going
to
at
some
point,
come
online
and
be
a
really
productive
and
useful
and
and
needed
project
in
in
in
the
community,
and
that
and
that
this
by
no
means
I
you
know,
I
think,
speaks
to
our
commitment
to
building
30
ami
housing.
T
You
know,
I
know
that
I've
been
more
supportive
of
that
in
happening
in
ward
5,
even
than
than
some
of
my
predecessors,
and
so
I
want
to
thank
them
for
advocating
for
themselves,
but
I
also
just
want
to
just
want
to
acknowledge
and
reassure
them
that
not
getting
funded
this
year
in
no
way
speaks
to
the
quality
of
the
project.
T
They
have
a
great
project
and
I
look
forward
to
supporting
it
in
the
future
and
and
because
it's
a
resource
that
our
communities
need,
but
again
just
want
to
thank
staff,
for
I
had
a
lot
of
questions
for
staff
as
I
was.
You
know
trying
to
do
my
due
diligence
on
that
project
and
and
I'm
just
really
impressed
with
with
the
recommendations
that
we've
got
this
year.
Thank
you.
H
Thank
you,
madam
president,
for
allowing
me
to
speak
again,
and
I
I
guess
I
just
want
to
really
echo
the
comments
made
by
council
members,
fletcher
and
ellison
relative
to
the
beacon
project.
H
The
these
determinations
in
no
way
is
indication
of
the
the
quality
or
the
need
for
their
their
project
and
and
we
we've
worked
with
beacon
on
a
number
of
projects
in
the
past
that
are
accessible
to
deeply
affordable
needs
and
and
this
this
emerson,
village
project
is
certainly
one
of
those,
and
I
really
look
forward
to
to
catching
up
with
the
timing
of
that
project
and
the
affordable
housing
trust
fund
to
bring
that
project
to
fruition
and
so
yeah.
H
I
want
to
thank
the
the
big
team
for
for
bringing
this
project
forward
and
look
forward
to
it,
like
I
said,
being
able
to
support
this
project
in
the
future.
C
Thank
you
all,
and
it
is
worth
noting
I
think,
as
councilmember
goodman
reflected
that
the
policy
direction
that
we
give
as
a
city
council
has
had
a
really
dramatic
impact
on
the
body
of
work
of
our
amazing
staff,
who
are
implementing
the
affordable
housing,
trust
fund
spending
and
the
nine
percent
tax
credit
spending.
C
You
know
I
remember
the
first
cycle
of
that
this
term.
The
council
members
who
took
office
at
the
beginning
of
this
term
had
a
really
different
perspective
on
the
issues
of
what
used
to
be
called
concentration
of
poverty
and
really
advocated
for
their
communities
to
be
a
place
that
was
prioritized
for
investment
of
really
needed,
affordable,
housing,
and
but
for
that
advocacy
I
think,
and
that
effort
of
our
council
members,
particularly
the
council,
members
of
color,
raising
the
issue
of
needed,
affordable
housing
in
their
communities.
C
I'm
not
sure
we
would
have
had
such
a
dramatic
shift
of
our
policy
approach
and
the
implementation
that
staff
has
carried
out.
So
thanks
to
the
council
members
who
who
did
that
work
and
to
the
staff
who
are
bringing
it
to
life
through
the
implementation,
I
don't
see
any
other
comments
on
those
items.
I
think
because
of
the
virtual
environment,
I
will
just
take
up
the
items
and
then
do
the
whole
agenda
because
the
number
of
times
we
have.
We
can't
really
do
a
voice
vote.
S
S
S
It
would
recommend
the
staff
to
come
back,
recommending
standards
for
bird,
safe
materials,
bird,
safe
lighting
and
bird
friendly
vegetation
management,
and
also
recommendations
regarding
the
structure
height
tiering
at
the
excel
riverside
site
in
the
critical
area
overlay
zoning
district
council
member
reich
has
assisted
with
this
particularly
focusing
some
interest
on
that
riverside
site,
and
I
welcome
him
to
speak
on
it
as
well,
so
I'll
make
this
motion.
Thank
you.
U
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
thank
you
councilman
gordon
for
you
and
your
office's
work
on
this
and
yeah
I'll.
Just
reiterate
that
this
builds
on
the
work
that
staff
has
already
set
up
for
some
additional
refinement
and
time
will
allow
that.
But
it's
good
that
we
have
the
framework
that
staff
has
put
in
place
to
work
with.
So
I
wanted
to
acknowledge
that
that
baseline
as
we
move
forward
and
their
willingness
to
continue
refining
things
as
councilmember
gordon
described.
B
Thank
you,
council
president,
and
thank
you,
council
members,
gordon
and
reich
for
your
work
on
this.
I'm
supportive
of
it
and
maybe
coming
to
you
to
add
a
very
technical
issue
related
to
this
critical
river
corridor
in
the
downtown
section
where
there
might
be
a
couple
of
contradictory
guidances
from
contradictory
overlays
just
between
on
the
stretch
of
river
between
35
and
plymouth.
So
just
one
of
the
for
the
constituents
who
raised
those
issues
around
how
we
treat
parkland
in
the
critical
river
area.
A
Thank
you
cause
the
president.
I
just
want
to
say
I'll,
be
supporting
this
one.
I
think
councilmember
gordon
and
councilmember
right
for
their
work
on
this
and
also
wanted
to
call
out
the
advocacy
of
the
audubon
chapter
and
thank
them
for
this
critical
issue.
It's
it's
not
a
simple
one.
When
we
talk
about
how
we're
going
to
protect
wildlife
and
their
habitat
in
this
urban
environment-
and
I
appreciate
the
kind
of
their
willingness
to
work
with
the
city
on
this.
G
C
C
A
A
Oh
okay,
thank
you,
so
I
unfortunately
I'll
go
back
and
say
I'm
making
a
motion
to
replace
the
language
in
552.230
with
the
amendment
that
I
circulated
with
my
colleagues
as
well
as
the
clerk
earlier.
Basically,
this
is
to
ensure
the
affordability
premiums
apply
to
projects
led
by
the
minneapolis
public
housing
authority.
A
A
So
I'm
happy
to
ask
any
to
answer
any
questions
on
this,
and
and
while
I
have
the
mic,
I
did
want
to
do
my
thanks
to
staff
for
this
year
of
work
as
chair,
goodman
really
put
well,
we've
had
a
lot
of
work
combined
into
one
committee,
so
I
want
to
thank
my
colleagues
on
that
committee.
It
is
an
impressive
amount
of
work.
This
is
just
one
meeting
and
they've
been
kind
of
busy
at
this
since,
since
the
pandemics
I
want
to
thank
them.
A
I
want
to
thank
staff
also
for
all
that
they've
been
able
to
do
and
bring
forward
I'm
extremely
proud
of
the
work
we've
been
able
to
do,
and
finally
also
I
want
to
thank
chair
goodman
for
taking
this
on,
for
leading
us
through
this,
making
this
smooth,
seamless
and
transparent
to
the
public
and
with
that
mixing
of
things
together,
I'll
move
this
amendment.
C
G
G
G
I
C
B
Thank
you,
council
president,
and
I
I
just
got
to
know
that
my
colleagues
haven't
seen
this,
so
I
apologize
for
the
miscue.
If,
if
this
is
the
first
time
you're
seeing
it-
and
I
I
know
the
clerk
has
it
so,
hopefully
we
can
get
it
up
on
the
screen,
but
I
just
wanted
to
bring
forward
a
staff
direction.
I
I
think
the
biz
committee
did
terrific
work
on
implementing
the
2040
plan.
B
B
Allowed
for
in
this-
and
so
I
don't
want
to
weigh
in
on
what
we're
passing
today-
I'm
supportive
of
what
we're
passing
today.
I
just
want
to
create
a
staff
direction
to
make
sure
that
we're
tracking
the
data
and
presenting
the
data
in
an
organized
way
so
that
we
can
evaluate
in
the
future
as
a
way
of
acknowledging,
I
think,
some
meaningful
feedback
and
thought
that
we
got
from
community
partners
who
are
thinking
about
how
to
actually
build
duplexes
and
triplexes
using
the
new
zoning.
So
I.
B
Will
read
it
out
loud
and
paste
it
in
the
chat?
I
suppose,
while
we
wait
to
get
it
up
on
the
screen.
D
B
In
the
meantime,
thank
you,
so
the
and-
and
I
I
worked
with
with
staff
and
the
clerk's
office
yesterday-
to
to
get
this
in
and
and
moving
forward
with,
the
blessing
of
director
brennan
and
the
cped
staff
directing
staff
to
come
back
in
march
2022
with
data
including,
but
not
limited,
to
how
many
single
family
homes,
duplexes
and
triflexes
were
approved
in
2021,
in
which
bill
form
designations
with
which
bonuses
and
any
other
pertinent,
measurable
criteria
to
help
council
evaluate
the
allowable,
far
guidance
approved
in
ordinance
in
2020.
B
So
I'm
hoping
that,
first
of
all,
that's
something
that
probably
would
have
happened
anyway.
This
is
really
just
a
way
of
expressing
some
intentionality
around
doing
some
evaluation,
and
I'm
hopeful
people
will
support
this
thanks.
D
C
Thank
you
and
thank
you
customer
fletcher.
Of
course,
I'm
seasoned
questions
and
comments.
In
the
chat
I
mean
we
just
had
another
staff
direction
on
another
item.
This
is
a
pretty
standard
procedure
to
discuss
amendments
and
staff
directions
at
the
city
council
meetings,
so
councilmember
goodman.
E
Thank
you,
madam
president,
council
member
schrader
and
councilmember
gordon
have
been
working
on
their
amendments
literally
since
the
committee
meeting,
and
they
spoke
to
it
in
committee
and
they've
circulated
it
broadly.
This
is
news
to
me
right
now.
I
don't
actually
oppose
this,
however,
because
I
don't
think
that
there's
any
reason
why
we
shouldn't
have
data.
I
would
just
ask
the
author
to
consider
that
a
one-year
snapshot
is
probably
not
adequate
to
determine
whether
or
not
this
is
working
we're
in
the
middle
of
a
pandemic.
E
We've
had
social
unrest,
we've
had
people
fleeing
the
city
and
others
moving
in
because
there's
maybe
a
cost
benefit
to
do
so,
and
so
I
don't
think
that
2021
would
be
an
adequate
reflection
of
how
well
this
is
working
and
so
yeah
I'd
be
more
comfortable
if
we
gave
it
two
years,
but
I'm
I'm
not
opposed
to
getting
data
about
any
of
this,
and
I
do
think
it
would
be
better
and
slightly
more
respectful
if
this
came
in
advance.
E
Since
member
schroeder
and
gordon
have
been
talking
about
this
bird
safeglass
thing
endlessly
in
community
and
council
members
trader
also
was
very
clear
about
ensuring
that
public
housing
was
included
in
the
bonuses
for
affordable
housing.
So
I
I
don't
oppose
a
staff
direction,
but
I
don't
think
one
year
is
probably
an
adequate
time
in
terms
of
gathering
data.
Given
the
times
we're
in
right
now,.
A
Thank
you
ben
president.
First
to
address
the
the
issue
of
kind
of
the
timeliness.
I
know
that
council
member
fletcher
has
been
working
on
this
and
it
is
something
that
needs
to
be
looked
at.
I
agree
with
council
member
goodman
one
year
is
probably
one
snapshot,
and
maybe
this
is
something
that
continues
on
and
I
also
thought
councilmember
fletcher
made
a
good
point
of
you
know.
This
is
probably
something
that
would
happen
anyway.
A
I
appreciate
the
amendment
and
I
also
would
say
on
the
the
timeliness,
I
I
think
the
author
has
done
what
he
what
he
can.
I
would
like
to
remind
my
colleagues
we've
gotten
multiple,
very
important
contracts
and
other
things
that
we've
had
less
than
24
hours
notice
on
that
we
still
didn't
have
this
type
of
scrutiny,
so
I
don't
want
to
have
too
much
put
on
the
author.
I
appreciate
councilmember
fletcher
bring
this
forward
and
I'm
happy
to
work
with
him,
as
this
goes
forward.
C
C
You
know
I
think,
feedback
from
not
just
the
public,
but
our
planning
commissioners
around
this
issue
of
viability
of
this
housing
type
that
is
being
codified
in
our
in
our
plans
and
codes,
so
appreciate
this
transparency
about
our
commitment
to
continuing
to
review.
G
G
G
C
C
This
is
just
really
a
huge
accomplishment
for
our
city,
and
I
want
to
express
my
deep
thanks
and
appreciation
accounts
member
schroeder,
the
chair
of
our
zoning
and
planning
committee
and
a
member
of
our
planning
commission
having
served
in
that
role
last
term.
I
know
that
it
is
an
enormous
amount
of
extra
work
that
the
council
member
who
is
in
that
role
takes
on,
and
it
is
so
appreciated.
C
C
back
then
I
we
didn't
have
a
long-range
planning
director.
I
was
zoning
in
planning
chair.
I
met
every
other
week
with
the
staff
who
researched
and
developed
the
the
minneapolis
2040
plan.
C
That
staff
you
know,
have
the
capacity
to
do
in
the
day
to
day,
and
so
I
just
want
to
really
thank
the
staff,
many
of
whom
have
left
the
city
since
since
those
years
ago
who,
from
the
very
beginning
of
the
process
of
developing
the
2040
plan
and
its
recommendations,
took
the
time
to
think
about
how
it
would
be
implemented
and
who
proposed
the
idea
of
creating
a
built
form
over
a
built
form
map
in
our
2040
plan.
C
It's
the
first
of
its
kind
in
the
city,
which
provides
additional
guidance
for
how
buildings
should
look
and
feel,
and
then
the
implementation
in
this
build
form
overlay
has
come.
You
know,
I
think,
because
of
all
of
that
groundwork
going
back
years
in
a
really
timely
way.
So
that
we
have
synergy
between
the
land
use
guidance
in
our
2040
plan
and
the
zoning
code,
which
governs
the
decisions
that
are
being
made
on
each
parcel
of
land
in
our
city.
C
With
incentives
to
implement.
You
know
these
bigger
goals.
I
know
that
they'll
need
to
be
adjustment
over
time
in
the
years
to
come,
and
so
you
know
in
the
same
vein
as
council
member
fletcher's
staff
direction
on
the
one
particular
issue
of
the
size
of
duplexes
and
triplexes,
and
the
viability
of
that
housing
type
in
our
city.
C
All
of
the
different
elements
of
our
2040
plan
and
the
zoning
code
implementation
will
need
to
be
monitored
and
reviewed
over
time,
as
has
happened
with
our
last
comp
plan
update
and
zoning
code,
and
I
just
know
again
how
much
staff
has
really
thought
through
all
of
these
different
moving
pieces,
how
they
work
to
incorporate
the
feedback
from
multiple
stakeholders
and
different
voices
in
the
city
and
just
want
to
appreciate
so
much
the
multi-year
process
and
work
that
went
into
this
really
technical
decision.
Today.
C
C
I
had
the
honor
of
serving
as
the
chair
of
the
committee
at
the
time,
but
this
has
always
been
a
team
effort
and
it
is
a
reflection
of
the
mostly
nearly
unanimous
vote
that
we
took
to
adopt
that
plan
and
the
work
of
so
many
staff,
community
members
and
council
members
so
again
appreciation.
I
know
zoning
is
not
always
the
most
exciting
topic,
although
it's
one,
we
hear
a
lot
about
it
increasingly
about
so
I
wanted
to
take
the
time
to
lift
up
this
work
and
offer
my
thanks
and
gratitude.
G
G
H
C
C
S
S
C
H
Thank
you.
Madam
president.
The
policy
and
government
oversight
committee
brings
forward
19
items
today.
Item
number
one
is
designating
polling
places
for
the
2021
municipal
election
item.
Number
two
is
approving
the
2021
legislative
agenda
and
policy
positions,
and
I
will
just
note
from
my
colleagues
that
I
will
be
bringing
forth
a
technical
amendment,
a
motion
to
a
sort
of
a
corrective
technical
amendment
to
item
number.
H
H
I
know
number
18
approves
legislative
contracts
with
friends
and
law
and
policy
group
and
frederickson,
and
byron
and
number
19
is
authorizing
agreements
with
u.s
solar
impact,
power
solutions
and
nokomis
energy
for
annual
community
solar
garden
subscriptions,
and
I
will
move
approval
of
the
policy
and
government
oversight
committee
report,
noting
that
I
will
be
bringing
a
emotion
to
item
number
two.
C
Thank
you,
council.
Vice
president,
has
moved.
The
committee
report
looks
like
there'll,
be
some
additional
discussion
on
item
two
and
two
motions
I'll
go
ahead
and
recognize
you,
council,
vice
president
for
item
two
followed
by
councilman
gordon.
H
Thank
you,
madam
president,
I'm
bringing
forward
a
motion
to
amend
I'm
sorry
to
amend.
Item
number
two
on
the
policy
govern
governance
oversight
committee
report
to
allow
the
intergovernmental
relations
staff
to
make
a
technical
correction
to
the
data
practices
session
section
on
page
number,
10
of
the
2021
legislative
agenda
policy
positions.
The
fourth
bullet
under
that
section
will
be
corrected
to
state
data
practices
instead
of
data
privacy,
and
I
will
just
take
a
moment
to
thank
mr
chuck
turchik
for
his
eagle
eye
in
bringing
this
technical
issue
to
our
attention.
C
I
T
I
on
oh
sorry,
just
on
the
motion.
Aye.
T
C
There
are
13
eyes
carries
an
amendment
is
adopted
council.
Member
gordon.
I
understand
you
also
have
an
amendment
for
this
item.
S
Too,
that
is
correct.
I
would
like
to
move
the
amendment
before
you
item
number
two.
This
would
be
amending
the
2021
legislative
agenda
under
the
transportation
section,
there
was
already
something
in
the
rca
and
the
staff
recommendation
that
included
support
to
extend
the
midtown
greenway
trail
across
the
mississippi
river.
I
just
wanted
to
make
it
clear
that
this
is
to
extend
the
greenway
non-motorized,
adding
that
word
across
the
river
and
oppose
investments
in
this
rail
corridor
that
do
not
advance
this
goal.
S
I'm
happy
to
speak
further
on
this.
If
people
would
like
to,
this
is
definitely
a
very
significant
crossing
where
the
midtown
greenway
actually
goes
right
up
to
the
river
and
right
now
it
doesn't
cross
the
river
and
we're
having
some
discussions
with
the
railroads
about
making
investments
along
the
trail
near
there,
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
emphasizing
our
desire
to
get
this
crossing
over
the
river.
St
paul
is
also
very
supportive
of
this
effort
as
well.
G
G
G
C
H
Thank
you,
madam
president,
I
I
don't
have
any
discussion
on
the
entire
agenda.
I
I
just
kind
of
wanted
a
little
clarification
from
councilmember
gordon.
Does
this
motion
that
just
pass
exclude
any
opportunities
for
transit
along
the
greenway.
C
Thank
you
and
my
apologies.
If
I
missed
you
before,
we
voted
council
member
gordon.
S
No,
not
necessarily
so,
of
course
it
emphasizes
non-motorized
transit,
but
it
it
doesn't.
I
think
it
recognizes
that
there
is
existing
rail,
at
least
in
the
part
of
the
greenway,
that's
in
ward,
two
and
it
wa,
and
that
it
could
coexist
that
rail
also
already
is
crossing
over
the
river.
So
no
the
intention
isn't
to
say
we
can't
have
any
kind
of
rail
that's
still
going
on.
S
There
may
even
be
a
way
to
keep
serving
those
businesses
that
rely
on
it,
but
as
we're
making
improvements
there,
we
we
want
to
make
sure
that
there's
an
openness
and
the
railroads
are-
I
guess,
coming
in
canadian
pacific
specifically
to
also
talk
about
how
they
could
support
non-motorized
transportation.
C
Thank
you
both.
Is
there
any
further
discussion
on
the
I
pausing
government
oversight
committee
agenda.
C
Now
I'll,
just
briefly
note
that
item
two,
which
we've
just
discussed
briefly,
is
our
legislative
agenda.
It
often
does
evolve
throughout
the
legislative
session,
with
thanks
to
council
member
johnson,
who
is
our
kind
of
informal
igr
chair,
as
in
the
new
committee
structure.
C
C
C
We've
been
talking
with
members
of
our
legislative
delegation
who
have
been
leading
state
conversations
about
police
reform
and
accountability
and
oversight
change,
and
I'm
really
excited
about
the
leadership
that
our
igr
staff
are
providing
with
really
starting
to
develop
more
of
a
continuum
of
policy
approach.
C
That's
kind
of
weaving
together
things
that
we're
doing
at
the
city
with
state
policy
changes
that
the
city
is
advocating
for
or
seeking.
So
I
think
there'll
be
a
lot
more
to
come
throughout
the
legislative
session
on
this
issue
of
policing
and
public
safety,
but
as
always
as
our
agenda
evolves
throughout
the
time
of
this
session,.
G
D
S

you.

with
hennepin
county
for
6th
street
safety
project.
11
is
a
cooperative
agreement
with
the
hennepin
county
7th
street
safety
project.
12
was
the
rethinking
I-94.
These
were
a
passage
of
comments
that
reflect
our
priorities
to
mndot
and
13
was
the
bid
for
lower
street
anthony
fall,
saint
anthony
falls
lock
and
dam
water
service
relocation
project.
S
Thank
you
very
much.
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
comment
on
the
I-94
resolution.
I
think
this
is
a
very
significant.
I
really
appreciate
the
city
taking
this
step.
The
state
is
looking
at
really
some
significant
reconstruction
in
there
and
they're
talking
about
reimagining
I-94
before
they
enter
into
that
stretch.
That
would
go
through
st
paul
and
much
of
minneapolis,
and
I
think
it
gives
us
a
real
opportunity
and
there's
also
a
lot
of
risk
involved
in
it
too.
I
recall
when
the
state
was
coming
in
to
do
35w.
S
So
my
hope
is
that,
by
coming
up
with
some
parameters
this
early
in
the
process,
that's
really
clear
and
also
standing
united
with
our
elected
official
colleagues
in
saint
paul
and
many
others
across
the
metro
area.
That
really
want
to
see
us
look
at
freeways
a
little
bit
differently
that
this
resolution
will
kind
of
help
set
that
tone.
So
I
just
wanted
to
emphasize
the
importance
of
that.
Even
though
it's
just
a
resolution,
it
really
will
help
tsa
up.
I
think
for
some
really
good
discussions
moving
forward.
C
Thank
you
councilmember.
I
will
heartily
agree.
I
just
want
to
make
a
brief
comment
on
item
7.
Our
bac
appointments,
the
bicycle
advisory
committee,
our
very
long
time,
chair
of
that
committee,
nick
mason,
has
recently
retired
from
his
volunteer
role
in
that
committee,
and
I
just
want
to
thank
him
for
all
of
his
volunteer
hours
over
the
many
years.
Things
have
changed
dramatically
in
how
we
do
transportation
planning
as
a
city.
C
C
I
mean
that
used
to
include
going
and
barbecuing
at
someone's
house
and
try
to
like
build
those
relationships,
informally
and
now,
I
think,
has
such
a
more
professional
and
consistent
and
policy
supported
approach
and
the
role
of
the
bus,
school
advisor
committee
and
many
of
our
committees
have
really
become
more
set
up
part
of
our
process
and
a
really
important
tool
for
community
engagement.
So
thanks
to
nick
and
all
the
time
that
he's
given
our
city,
that's
one
example
of
the
many
many
people
who
do
so
councilmember
johnson.
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
I
also
want
to
express
my
gratitude
to
nick
for
all
of
his
work
all
of
his
service.
I
know
we've
had
that
conversation
as
well,
but
it
is
truly
remarkable
all
he's
given
to
the
city
and
we're
so
appreciative,
and
so
it's
a
bittersweet
to
see
him
moving
on
from
the
bac.
But
we
know
he
has
many
more
contributions
ahead
for
the
city
as
he
remains
so
dedicated
to
his
community
and
to
minneapolis.
So
thanks
again,
nick.
G
I
G
C
That
carries
and
that
report
is
adopted.
Next
we
have
the
order
of
next
on
our
agenda.
We
have
a
notice
of
ordinance
introductions
and
I
have
two
notices
on
the
agenda
today.
First,
we
have
a
notice
from
councilmember
goodman
related
to
the
subject
matter,
introduction
of
an
ordinance
amending
the
building
code
to
amend
and
repeal
various
provisions
related
to
elevators
and
conveyance
devices.
C
C
The
next
order
of
business
is
resolutions,
and
we
have
the
three
honorary
resolutions
that
were
presented
at
the
beginning
of
the
meeting
today.
Those
included
the
resolutions
recognizing
mr
todd
and
mr
intermil,
as
well
as
the
resident
resolution
designating
december
18th
as
2020
international
migrants
day
in
the
city
of
minneapolis,
I'll
ask
for
a
motion
to
adopt
those
three
honorary
resolutions.
F
G
G
G
C
That
carries
and
those
resolutions
are
adopted.
Our
next
order
of
business
is
motions,
and
we
have
one
motion
this
morning
from
council
member
palmisano
to
reconsider
the
vote
on
resolution
number
2020
r
363,
which
is
the
resolution
adopting
the
2020
property
tax
levies
payable
in
2021.
This
resolution
was
adopted
as
part
of
the
2021
budget
package.
The
request
here
is
to
reopen
the
vote
on
that
resolution
to
correct
a
clerical
error
in
the
recording
of
the
vote
there.
Any
questions
or
comments
on
the
motion.
C
Thank
you.
Seeing
no
discussion
we'll
first
take
a
vote
on
the
motion
to
reconsider
and
then
assuming
that
passes,
we'll
have
the
motion
and
the
vote
on
the
original
resolution
again.
So
that
means
all
council
members
will
be
voting
again
on
the
specific
piece
of
the
budget,
which
is
the
adoption
of
the
tax
levy.
T
Yeah,
I
just
want
to
thank
my
colleagues
for
indulging
me
here.
This
is
me
being
recorded
as
a
no
vote
when
I
didn't
intend
to
be.
I
remember
voting
I,
but
when
I
listen
to
the
video
it
is,
it
sounds
like
I'm
saying
no,
which
I
think
is
some
kind
of
deep
fake
conspiracy,
but
but
no,
I
just
want
to
thank
my
colleagues
for
for
indulging
me
and
correcting
this
mistake.
C
So
you
know
further
discussion
clerk,
we'll
just
first
take
a
vote
on
the
motion
to
reconsider
this
item.
G
G
G
G
C
That
carries
the
motion
to
reconsider
is
approved.
We'll
now
call
the
role
on
the
original
resolution,
which
pertains
the
property
property
tax
levies
payable
in
2021.
clerk.
Please
call
the
rule.
G
G
E
G
C
C
That
carries
and
that
resolution
is
adopted
unanimously
and
the
clerk
will
correct
the
vote,
tally
and
the
rev
in
the
resolution.
I
almost
said
revolution
in
the
resolution
and
republish
it
as
an
official
act
by
the
city
council,
all
right
with
that
we
have
a
request
from
our
city
clerk
to
receive
and
file
the
results
of
the
two
ballot
questions
related
to
elections,
administration
that
were
passed
as
part
of
the
2020
general
election.
Mr
clerks
will
speak
to
this
item.
D
Yes,
thank
you,
madam
president.
This
is
really
an
improvement
in
how
the
clerk's
office
is
handling
record,
keeping
of
those
amendments
to
the
city
charter,
which
are
referred
to
the
voters
at
ballot
in
previous
years.
Of
course,
when
charter
amendments
are
passed
at
the
ballot,
they
are
recorded
at
the
election
office,
but
we've
not
brought
them
back
through
the
council
process,
which
is
the
official
permanent
record
kept
forever,
and
so
this
is
our
process
of
getting
those
official
actions
taken
by
voters
in
adopting
an
ordinance
amending
the
charter
into
the
council's
permanent
proceedings.
C
H
Thank
you
so
much.
Madam
president,
I
I
do
want
to
just
announce
that
yesterday
december
17th
was
international
day
to
end
violence
against
sex
workers.
I
I
want
to
bring
attention
to
this
day
in
support
of
you
know.
H
Last
month
I
I
talked
about
the
national
transgender
day
of
remembrance,
and
we
know
that
so
many
black
and
brown
trans
identified
people
are
are
forced
into
sex
work
by
society
and
so
just
expressing
solidarity
and
lifting
up
the
voices
of
those
marginalized
communities
that
are
deeply
impacted
by
gender-based
violence,
and
so
I
wanted
to
to
bring
awareness
to
to
that
attention.
H
Yesterday,
myself
and
I
believe,
councilmember
gordon
attended
a
virtual
visual
to
to
to
just
honor
the
lives
of
those
lost
to
violence
against
sex
workers
and
so
again
just
wanting
to
bring
light
and
attention
to
this
very
critical
issue.
Thank
you
as
well
as
I
I
should
say,
wish
you
all
my
colleagues
a
very,
very
happy
holiday
season.
H
I
know
that
hanukkah
ended
yesterday
last
night
and
and
certainly
we
are
moving
into
full
swing
into
the
christmas
holidays
and
and
others
so
just
wanna
wish
you
all
a
happy
and
safe
holiday
season
and
extend
that
to
the
citizens
and
the
residents
of
minneapolis
as
well.
Thank
you.
S
S
S
I
can't
really
express
how
much
I
have
missed
all
of
you,
and
I
know
it
seems
like
maybe
we
actually
are
getting
together,
but
we
actually
are
not
and
we're
more
distant
and
separated
than
ever.
You
know,
as
we
go
through
those
those
resolutions,
acknowledging
people
who
are
leaving
and
those
kinds
of
things.
I
think
that
it's
really
clear.
S
It's
also
been
really
challenging
because
of
the
way
we
have
to
do
public
hearings
now
and
hear
from
people,
and
I
think
in
some
ways,
though
it
maybe
looks
like
our
divisions
are
so
great.
I
think
I
feel
closer
to
all
of
you,
maybe
than
I
ever
have
before,
because
we've
been
through
such
a
challenging
and
difficult
year,
and
I
think
that
my
heart
is
aching
for
when
we
can
actually
be
working
together
and
being
together
in
space
as
well
as
virtually
here.
So
thank
you,
council
president
vice
president
and
all
my
council.
S
Colleagues,
thanks
to
the
department
heads
all
of
them,
thanks
to
the
mayor
and
all
of
his
staff,
and
thanks
to
all
of
the
workers
in
our
city,
for
helping
us
as
a
city
and
as
an
organization
survive
this
incredibly
difficult
year,
and
I
am
hopeful
that
things
are
going
to
be
changing
and
things
are
going
to
be
getting
better
next
year.
And
I
look
forward
to
proving
that
to
be
true
with
all
of
you.
V
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
just
want
to
take
time
to
really
thank
my
colleagues
coming
in
very
late
in
for
2020..
V
You
all
have
been
a
great
friend
and
great
welcoming
me
here
in
the
city
hall
I
haven't
experienced
what
the
you
know,
city
hall
feels
like
and
actual
without
the
covet
social
distancing,
but
you
know
it's
being
very
kind
and
helpful
the
way
you
welcome
me
and
the
way
you
know
you
really
reach
out
to
me,
and
you
know,
offer
me
the
help
I
need-
and
I
do
want
to
take
the
time
to
really
thank
the
city
clerk
office
and
the
staff,
and
you
know
for
getting
me
going
right
away
and
with
with
all
the
challenges
of
kobe
brought
to
us
and
I'm
honored
to
really
serve
the
residents
of
minneapolis
and
it's
it's
honor
and
continue
serving
our
you
know
following
year
and
wishing
you
all
the
best
happy
new
year
and
happy
holidays,
and
hopefully
we
all
can
come
together
and
I
can
meet
some
of
you
that
I
haven't
met.
V
I
met
majority
of
you
and
looking
forward
and
hoping
that
we
will
meet
soon
like
councilmember
goodman
put
it
in.
So
thank
you
all.
C
Thank
you,
councilmember
osman,
and
I
too,
wanted
to
just
express
my
appreciation
for
how
much
every
single
person
who's
part
of
this
city,
the
government
of
our
city,
our
city
enterprise,
as
we
call
it,
you
know
from
the
staff
who
are
adjusting
to
working
from
home,
who
are
many
of
whom
are
taking
on
additional
caretaking
responsibilities
for
children
or
loved
ones,
or
parents.
C
So
I've
been
really
inspired
by
the
ways
that
I've
seen
folks
come
together
and
really
dig
in.
I
know
2021
is
going
to
continue
that
process
of
of
truth
and
reconciliation.
C
We'll
see,
recommendations
coming
forward
on
that
specific
process,
we'll
likely
see
a
lot
more
information
being
shared
publicly
about
how
our
systems
are
working
or
not
to
deliver
the
values
that
we
all
share,
and
I
think
we
all
have
to
be
open
again
to
our
role
in
that
and
I've
been
so
inspired
by
each
of
you,
my
colleagues,
in
this
process.
You
know,
I
know
that
it's
been
really
hard
in
our
community
and
I
know
people
are
scared
and
frustrated
and
angry.
C
I
know
council
members
are
you
know
taking
that
all
in
you
know.
I
know.
Council
members
are
playing
a
role
of
leadership
in
the
community
and
support
that
is
different
than
in
a
normal
time
and
are
also
receiving
rape,
that
threats
and
death
threats-
and
you
know
there
was
a
time
where
I
didn't
know-
we
would
make
it
through
the
year
without
one
of
you
being
harmed.
C
And
I'm
really
grateful
for
all
of
you,
I'm
getting
emotional,
because
I
know
that
you
know
there
are
disagreements
and
I
can
even
hear
it
in
people's
voices
today.
Some
of
the
you
know
frustrations
or
resentments,
but
I
think
that
you
know
the
way
that
we've
been
able
to
come
together
time
and
time
again
as
a
body
is
really
a
testament
to
each
of
you
and
I
care
about
each
of
you
very
deeply.
I
D
Thank
you,
madam
president,
with
the
council's
indulgence.
I
know
it's
been
a
long
meeting
already,
but
I
it's
a
bittersweet
moment.
I'd
like
to
take
a
chance
to
recognize
a
member
of
the
clerk's
office
who
will
be
leaving
our
team
at
the
end
of
this
year.
Sybil
mcmillan
has
been
a
part
of
the
clerk's
office
for
33
years.
She
began
her
service
to
the
city
on
february,
2nd
1987.
D
and
she's
been
a
steady
presence
in
our
office
and
at
city
hall.
Ever
since
her
official
job
title
is
council
information
specialist,
and
what
that
means
is
that
she's
part
of
the
team
that
works
diligently
behind
the
scenes,
without
fanfare,
without
recognition,
without
applause,
to
review,
every
single
act
that
comes
to
and
every
action
that
is
taken
by
the
city
council.
She
proofs
them
formats
them
edits
them
and
she's
responsible
for
publishing
them
as
part
of
the
official
council
proceedings.
D
Again,
the
record
we
keep
forever
and
she's
responsible
for
coordinating
the
publication,
the
city's
code
of
ordinances,
our
local
laws.
She
also
does
research
in
terms
of
the
archives
of
past
actions
that
we
keep
and
the
policies
we
make
both
for
policymakers
for
city
departments
and
for
the
public.
She
takes
inquiries
through
the
clerk's
website
from
the
public
and
provides
information
and
assistance
on
an
endless
variety
of
subjects.
D
I
often
think
of
her
as
our
own
internal
3-1-1.
Just
in
the
clerk's
office,
she
assists
the
clerk's
office
front.
Counter,
delivers
a
number
of
services
to
the
public
there
in
so
many
ways.
Sybil
is
a
part
of
the
core
fabric
of
our
office.
She
exemplifies
truly
all
that
is
best
about
the
clerk's
office.
D
She
is
a
true
public
servant
and
we
will
miss
her
companionship
immensely
when
she
leaves,
I
know,
will
struggle
to
fill
the
gaps
that
her
retirement
creates.
But
on
this
occasion
I
wanted
to
publicly
recognize
her
and
to
express
both
on
behalf
of
the
council,
my
team
and
myself
how
much
we
appreciate
her,
how
much
we
will
miss
her
and
that
we
wish
her
happiness,
reward
and
comfort
in
her
retirement
and
the
new
adventures
that
she
pursues.
So
too
simple.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
