B
Good
morning
my
name
is
lisa
bender,
I'm
the
president
of
the
minneapolis
city
council.
I'm
going
to
call
to
order
this
regular
meeting
of
the
city
council
for
july
17th
I'll
note
that
this
meeting
has
remote
participation
by
members
of
the
city,
council
and
staff
as
authorized
under
minnesota
statute,
section
13d
due
to
the
declared
local
public
health
emergency
at
this
time
I'll
ask
the
clerk
to
call
the
rules
so
that
we
can
verify
a
quorum
for
this
meeting.

Our
first
item
of
business
is
the
acceptance
of
minutes
from
our
regular
meeting
on
june
26th.
May
I
have
an
motion
to
adopt
those
minutes.

B
J
Thank
you.
Madam
president.
I
will
once
again
try
to
be
expeditious
as
possible.
Knowing
you've
got
a
long
agenda.
We've
reached
the
end
of
another
incredibly
busy
week
here
in
city
hall.
The
first
public
hearing
on
the
second
phase
of
our
revised
2020
budget
is
in
the
books.
J
J
There
have
been
14
emergency
regulations
to
date.
I
won't
go
through
each
one
of
them
individually
but
happy
to
answer
any
questions
there.
Moving.
I
J
The
health
by
numbers,
the
total
approximate
number
of
completed
tests,
has
been
790
497,
that's
up
roughly
250
000
more.
Since
we
last
met
there,
you
can
check
out
the
minnesota
case
information,
I'm
not
going
to
go
through
each
one
of
the
numbers,
but
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
there.
Hospitalization
or
total
cases
requiring
hospitalization
is
4495..
J
As
of
today,
there's
254
hospitalized,
it's
down
about
80,
since
our
last
meeting
hospitalization
in
the
icu,
as
of
today,
is
106..
That's
down
about
60.
Since
our
last
meeting
in
minneapolis
total
positive
cases
are
5583
over
a
thousand
more
than
when
we
last
met
762
hospitalized
and
214
total
needing
icu
care.
J
With
a
total
of
4911
recover.
That's
in
minneapolis,
again
192
is
the
total
deceased.
Again
most
of
those
deaths
are
coming
out
of
our
long-term
care
facilities.
Some
of
those
trends
are
shifting,
though
the
health
department
has
started
using
the
harvard
global
health
institute's
covid
risk
levels.
Dashboard
to
compare
minneapolis
in
the
state
based
on
the
latest
data
minneapolis,
is
at
a
higher
risk
level
than
the
state.
So
more
than
50
percent
of
new
cases
in
minneapolis
continue
to
be
in
young
adults.
J
This
group
is
experiencing
increased
exposure
in
bars
at
gatherings
of
friends
and
family,
and
I
will
note
that
I
believe
that
15,
the
top
15
hot
spots
in
the
state
are
all
bars
right
now
and
specifically
inside
the
factors
that
take
place
in
bars
with
close
proximity
and
at
least
while
drinking
the
inability
to
wear
masks
loud
talking
it.
It
definitely
adds
and
compounds
to
the
risk
of
spread
for
congregate,
living
facilities.
J
Congregate
facilities
in
minneapolis
continue
to
see
new
cases
among
residents,
but
the
numbers
have
decreased
significantly.
Residents
of
these
of
these
facilities
account
for
only
eight
percent
of
confirmed
cases.
However,
they
account
for
71
of
the
deaths.
J
J
J
Moving
on
to
personal
protective
equipment,
health
department
continues
to
receive
and
respond
to
requests
for
masks
hand
sanitizer,
and
this
past
week
they
distributed
1030
cloth,
masks
and
70
bottles
of
hand
sanitizer.
In
terms
of
businesses.
We
are
receiving
complaints
about
customers
not
wearing
masks
inside
of
businesses,
so
to
help
increase
compliance.
Business
owners
have
been
requested.
New
signage,
which
clearly
stating
the
city
requires
masks.
Indoor
public
spaces.
J
Health
inspectors
are
con
continuing
a
second
sweep
of
24
bars
in
downtown
uptown
in
dinkytown
on
july,
16th
and
july
17th.
Those
represent
where
we've
seen
a
majority
of
the
complaints
inspectors
are
reiterating
covet
19
safety
messages
and
providing
guidance.
J
As
for
procurement,
as
of
july
15
2020,
there
has
been
five
thou.
There
have
been
five
million.
There
has
been
about
five
million
dollars,
spent
the
total
increase
roughly
by
8500
and
can
be
attributed
to
amendments
to
the
existing
gap
fund,
housing
programs
and,
as
I've
stated
previously,
this
is
not
the
total
spend
related
to
covet
19.
The
total
spend
is
in
the
tens
of
millions
of
dollars.
J
Enterprise
for
public
safety,
violent
crime
is
up
13.6
percent
year
to
date,
and
property
crimes
are
up
about
4.3
percent
year
to
date.
In
year
to
date,
2020
has
had
a
a
much
higher
shooting
victim
total
and
it's
it's
been
the
highest
in
the
last
five
years
with
256
victims,
the
next
closest
was
2016
with
161.
J
That's
up
about
71
percent.
Compared
to
this
time
in
2019.,
the
bulk
of
shooting
victims
have
been
concentrated
in
the
third
and
fourth
precincts.
The
increase
in
shooting
victims
is
occurring
in
cities
right
now
across
the
country
and
there's
no
one
significant
cause,
but
rather
it's
likely
due
to
a
perfect
storm
of
factors
that
are
contributing
to
the
increase.
J
The
impacts
of
covet
19,
increased
stress
due
to
job
loss,
economic
downturn,
closure
of
of
gathering
places
and
activities,
civil
unrest
and
uprisings
across
the
country.
At
the
most
recent
killings
of
of
black
people,
george
floyd
brianna
taylor,
among
others,
here's
what
we're
doing
in
minneapolis
to
respond
to
some
of
the
increases
in
gun,
violence.
First,
violence
prevention
initiatives
continue
to
provide
service
for
victims,
clients
and
their
families
through
both
through
gvi
project
life
and
next
step.
J
Of
course,
continued
collaboration
with
our
community
groups
and
neighborhoods
and
the
u.s
attorney's
office
twin
cities.
Violent
crime
task
force
was
established
last
week,
and
this
task
force
brings
together
additional
federal
and
state
resources
to
assist
local
law
enforcement
to
investigate
arrest
and
prosecute
individuals
that
are
responsible
for
gun
violence
in
our
communities.
J
J
Additionally,
we
have
received
requests
for
assistance
directly
to
the
city
and
to
our
minneapolis
police
department,
so
we're
going
to
continue
to
work
with
our
county
and
state
and
park
colleagues
to
identify
short
and
medium-term
options
to
resolve
the
situation,
notably
on
july
10th.
The
city
and
county
issued
a
14
million
dollar
rfp,
utilizing
federal
esg
grant
and
cares.
D
I
J
The
fall
as
well
as
a
women's
specific
shelter,
which
I
believe
could
be
up
as
early
as
february
2021..
We've
also
got
street
outreach,
rapid
rehousing
and
homelessness
prevention
as
well
beginning
on
august
3rd,
the
city
and
county
will
evaluate
proposals
and
we'll
work
to
get
the
money
out
the
door
as
quickly
as
possible.
J
Moving
on
to
state
and
federal
activity,
on
friday
july
10th,
governor
walls
issued
a
proclamation
calling
the
legislature
back
to
saint
paul
on
monday
july
13th.
He
began
by
extending
the
covet
19
peacetime
emergency
by
30
days
to
help
the
state
continue
to
respond
to
the
many
implications
of
dealing
with
the
pandemic.
J
In
the
house,
there
were
many
critical
issues
that
were
left
on
the
table
during
the
regular
and
first
special
session,
including
a
bonding
bill,
public
safety
reform,
economic
relief
for
businesses
impacted
by
the
civil
unrest,
in
addition
to
a
tax
bill
on
tuesday
this
week,
the
house
ways
and
means
committee
passed
hf1,
which
includes
a
range
of
public
safety,
police
reforms
and
accountability
provisions,
also
on
tuesday
in
ways
and
means.
The
committee
passed
a
1.8
billion
dollar
bill.
That
is
an
agreement
between
house
and
senate
leadership.
J
The
bill
contains
21.8
million
in
projects
for
the
city
of
minneapolis,
55
million
for
brt
and
100
million
in
housing,
infrastructure
bonds.
I'll
note
that
there
is
an
additional
bill,
looking
for
25
million
on
top
of
that
100
million
in
hiv
funds
that
could
go
specifically
to
homelessness
shelters.
J
So,
lastly,
the
house
took
up
a
resolution
to
end
the
governor's
emergency
powers,
but
the
resolution
failed
70-63
in
the
senate,
the
senate
gaveled
in
on
monday,
and
took
up
a
resolution
to
end
the
governor's
emergency
powers
and
the
resolution
passed.
The
senate
then
passed
three
small
bills
and
adjourned
until
a
future
date.
J
Last
week,
senate
majority
leader
mitch,
leader
mcconnell
signaled
the
strong
possibility
of
an
additional
corona
virus
aid
package
by
outlining
the
priorities
of
the
senate.
Gop
and
details
are
still
coming
in
on
friday,
fema
denied
the
state's
request
which
we
contributed
to
for
16
million
to
assist
in
economic
recovery,
post
civil
unrest
and
the
city
has
not
yet
received
a
determination
for
a
disaster
declaration
from
the
small
business
administration.
J
I'll
note
that
requests
for
aid
from
fema
have
been
granted
in
the
past
following
unrest,
even
during
republican
administrations,
a
good
example
being
in
the
90s
following
the
unrest
regarding
rodney
king
and
aid
was
received
in
la
that's
quite
a
bit
of
it
gap.
Funding
package,
community
prevention
partners,
minneapolis
public
housing
authority
and
the
city
and
county
staff
continue
to
work
through
the
list
to
complete
the
full
verification
and
approval
process
for
each
applicant.
J
As
of
wednesday
july
15
497
applicants
have
been
approved,
totaling
708
thousand
dollars
in
emergency
assistance
payments.
As
reported
the
last
time
we
met
the
small
business
forgivable
loans
have
been
fully
awarded
a
value
of
1.5
million
dollars
over
that
was
awarded
to
173
small
businesses.
D
J
Coalition
co-chairs
and
core
strategy
team
members
are
identifying
specific
solutions,
strategies
and
tactics
that
will
help
and
this
work
will
continue.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
partnership
and
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
B
A
I
just
had
a
question
about
adult
day
centers,
just
what
kind
of
is
the
the
plan
for
minneapolis
and
get
a
little
more
feedback
or
kind
of
input
about
why
minneapolis
has
not
opened
their
adult
day
centers.
Yet.
J
A
J
Okay,
so
adult
day,
centers
obviously
provide
a
very
helpful
location
for
adults
to
to
congregate.
The
issue
was
that
was
also
a
location
of
a
whole
lot
of
the
spread.
I
don't
know
if
director
music
hand
has
some
additional
information
there.
There
certainly
is
the
possibility
to
open,
but
that,
oh,
that
opening
would
come
with
some
significant
risks
as
well.
J
J
K
J
D
Yes,
thank
you
mayor,
madam
chair
council.
Member
trader
is,
as
the
mayor
has
outlined.
D
We
have
we
did
this
early
on
and
I
think
really
before
the
state
had
noticed
that
this
was
an
area
of
concern
and
since
that
time
they
have
developed
much
more
significant
guidance
and
we
have
been
in
dialogue
with
the
mayor's
office
and
the
city
attorney
about
whether
or
not
we
see
sufficient
guidance
from
the
state
so
that
we
can
pull
back
and
allow
that
to
happen,
and
I
think
the
city
attorney
has
got
it
in
on
their
desk
right
now.
J
Yeah
so
councilmember
we
do
actually
have
a
draft
that
has
been
prepared
to
rescind.
We
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
reviewing
all
of
the
data
first
to
make
sure
that
that
is
in
fact
the
right
decision.
Again,
we
have
seen
the
numbers
drop,
at
least
as
in
terms
of
a
percentage
in
both
adult
day,
cares
and
even
congregate
care
facilities,
but
they
still
account
for
a
very
significant
portion.
A
Now
that
it's
good
to
have
that
background,
just
with
that
draft
is
there
a
timeline
on
that
coming
forward?
Is
this
something?
Next
week
two
weeks
I
would
say
it
will.
A
Course,
of
course,
thank
you
on
that
coach.
I
just
wanted
to
kind
of
switch
topics.
I
wanted
to
talk
about
kind
of
police
reform
and
some
of
the
I
know
there
were
some
council
liaisons
to
those.
It
would
be
very
helpful
to
get
a
report
back
on
how
that
is
going.
It
kind
of
updates
and
kind
of
what
we
can
expect.
J
I'd
be
happy
to
councilmember
you
looking
for
a
report
now
or
you're
saying
that
you
just
like
a
a
more
thorough
rundown
of
the
reforms
that
have
been
made.
There's
there
are
no.
A
No,
I
know
that
that
there's,
I
know
you
have
two
task
force
going
forward
and
there's
council
liaisons
to
that.
It's
just
something
with
that
communication
would
be
it'd,
be
helpful
to
have
that
information
disseminated
a
lot
more
widely
and
just
if
there
is
kind
of
an
initial,
very
brief
report,
you
have
it'd
be
helpful
to
hear
that,
of
course,.
J
So
there
are
task
forces
that
are
meeting
now
they're.
They
are
in
the
process
of
you,
know
one
pulling
the
information
together
and
then
actually
coming
out
with
recommendations
for
policy
reforms.
In
the
meantime,
there
have
been
policy
reforms
that
have
been
moved
by
chief
ardando
and
myself.
Apart
from
those
task
forces,
the
two
most
notable
ones
thus
far
have
been
the
shift
in
the
body
camera
policy,
and
that
policy
would
prevent
officers
from
reviewing
the
body
camera
following
a
critical
incident
before
they
fill
out
the
necessary
reports.
J
The
second
significant
one
was
to
sort
of
bake
de-escalation
into
all
forms
of
their
reporting.
So
now,
every
single
time
these
reports
are
filled
out.
We
are
now
supplementing
it
with
the.
What
was
what
the
escalation
tactics
were
used
why
they
were
used
if
there
was
use
of
force
used?
Why
and
then?
What
was
the
result?
J
J
So
sort
of
lower
level
uses
of
force
like
an
arm
bar
or
even
handcuffing,
is
now
required
to
be
in
the
reports
where
it
wasn't
before.
Additionally,
there
are
more
significant
uses
of
force
like
a
takedown
or
use
of
some
form
of
chemical
agent.
That
is
not
only
required
to
be
reported.
It
was
previously
required
to
be
reported,
but
it
also
requires
notification
for
a
for
a
supervisor.
J
So
that's
a
brief
rundown
of
some
of
the
initial
policies
that
have
been
made
and
again
the
focus
for
that
second
piece
was
on
was
on
de-escalation,
making
sure
that
that
is
paramount.
It
shouldn't
be
a
a
second
thought
or
an
last
resort
or
an
afterthought.
It
didn't
mean
it
should
be
the
very
first
piece
that
is
considered.
A
E
J
E
I'm
sorry
mayor,
I
thought
you
mentioned
in
your
report
that
there
is
a
that
you
have
initiated
a
gun,
violence
task
force,
so
I'm
not
sure
if
it's
the
u.s
attorney's
office
or
internal
task
force.
So
that's
my
question.
J
J
K
J
Alcohol,
tobacco,
it's
firearms
and
explosives
secret
service,
united
states
marshal
service,
drug
enforced
drug
administration.
The
minnesota
bureau
of
criminal
apprehension,
police
officers
from
both
minneapolis
and
saint
paul
departments
and
deputies
from
hennepin
ramsey,
dakota
county
sheriff's
office,
as
well
as
federal
and
state
prosecutors.
J
G
J
B
Thank
you
both.
I.
I
also
had
a
follow-up
question
on
this
issue
too,
which
which
may
be
for
follow-up
or
now,
which
is
kind
of
understanding.
The
presence
of
outside
agencies
on
this
street,
so
certainly
having
assistance
in
solving
the
violent
crimes
that
we're
seeing
and
bringing
those
numbers
up
would
be
great
so,
but
I
think
you
know.
Obviously
we
have
a
lot
of
policies
in
place,
use
of
force
policies
which
are
improving,
and
you
know
direction
to
our
law
enforcement
related
to
supporting
folks
who
are
undocumented.
B
So
do
you?
Can
you
tell
us
more
about
what
might
be
happening
on
the
streets
in
terms
of
law
enforcement
and
what
the
chain
of
command
is
and
how?
How
all
that's
working
in
terms
of
patrol
and
that
kind
of
policing.
J
I
can
these
are
the
task
force
just
to
be
clear.
That
I
mentioned
are
not
necessarily
individuals
that
are
on
the
street
in
any
form.
This
is
a
it's
a
collaboration
put
forward
by
the
us
attorney
to
allow
for
collaboration
between
these
different
entities.
It's
not
a
street
presence,
it's
more
of
an
administrative
and
office
presence.
J
Now
we
do
have
assistance
on
the
streets
when
we
need
additional
personnel
now
that,
as
usual,
comes
in
the
form
of
hennepin
county
sheriff's,
the
met
council
and
metro
transit
police,
most
of
the
entities
that
we
have
recruited
to
assist
us
are
more
in
the
form
of
investigations
and
corrections.
So
it
would
not
mean
that
there
is
an
additional
officer
presence
as
far
as
chain
of
command.
H
Thank
you,
council
president,
and
thank
you
mayor.
I
know
you
and
I
spoke
yesterday
and
I
I
think
it
would
be
helpful
just
to
get
a
bit
of
an
assessment
similar
to
what
we
discussed
about
staffing
levels
right
now.
I
think
people
are
interested
in
assessing.
What's
the
current
level
of
staffing
at
mpd,
I
think
people
are
interested
in
both
the
quantity
and
quality
of
response.
So
you
know
just
what's
the
sense
of
how
well
we're
operating
it
sounds
like
we
are
down.
H
Can
you
give
a
little
bit
of
an
update
on
that
and
and
what
what
steps
you're
taking
to
sort
of
change
your
realign
coverage.
J
Thank
you,
madam
president,
council
member.
Yes,
we
have
seen
attrition
over
the
last
several
weeks,
as
was
noted
in
in
the
media.
That
attrition
is
due
to
a
number
of
different
reasons.
Some
of
it
is
early
entire
early
retirement,
which
leads
to
obviously
the
requirement
of
pensions.
J
Some
of
it
has
come
earlier
in
the
form
of
a
ptsd
claim,
which
would
be
in
the
form
of
a
permanent
disability
claim
and
others
have
just
gone
on
some
form
of
leave.
J
I
hesitate
to
give
the
precise
numbers
publicly,
because
I
don't
want
to
get
them
wrong,
but,
yes,
we
have
seen
significant
numbers
lost.
I
I
don't
want
to
report
any
sort
of
incorrect
personnel
data.
Do
we
have
a
representative
from
mpd
that
can
perhaps
explain
what
the
what
the
levels
look
like?
I
mean
the
most
recent
figure
that
I
heard
was
65,
but
I
want
to
be
clear
that
that's
accurate.
K
Yeah
madam
chair
mayor,
frye
to
councilmember
fletcher,
so
we're
still
when
we
look
at
the
normal
attrition
rates
that
we
typically
see
and
we
on
average,
usually
see
about
45
separations
a
year
with
the
mayor's
referencing
in
terms
of
some
of
the
claims
that
have
come
forth
in
addition
to
the
normal
attrition
were
probably
the
last.
I've
counted
were
probably
right
at
about
that.
65.
J
J
A
council
member
we'll
get
you
that
information.
The
the
figures
are,
are
definitely
far
more
significant
in
terms
of
attrition
than
they
usually
are,
but
I
want
to
make
sure
I
get
you
the
precise
figure
that,
before
our
chief
art,
dondo
cut
out,
it
sounds
like
he
was
at
least
confirming
the
the
65
figure,
but
I
want
to
make
sure
that's
accurate.
J
K
Madam
chair
councilmember,
fletcher
yeah,
so
right
now
that
number
is
at
65
as
as
these
claims
come
through
one
of
the
things
that
will
make
it
difficult
to
ever
really
have
a
real
time.
Running
number
is
that
there's
the
process
the
employee
goes
through,
which
can
start
out
by
either
going
through
their
own
health
care
provider,
whether
it's
going
through
an
attorney's
firm
and
then
ends
up
in
our
hr
process.
K
But
so
I
will
not
typically,
as
chief
just
get
a
weekly
list,
that
okay
rondo
here's
the
ten
names
of
employees
it
these
can
kind
of
filter
in.
So
it's
so
it's
very
difficult
to
just.
You
predict
that
at
the
end
of
this
month,
or
at
the
end
of
this
pay
period,
we'll
have
15
members.
So
we
you
know
it's
it's
a
really
kind
of
fluid
thing.
With
the
normal
attritions.
K
We
can
usually
map
that
out
to
be
about
45
a
year
with
the
ptsd
claims
a
little
bit
different
to
gauge
those.
J
And
in
addition
to
the
formal
claims,
in
addition
to
both
the
formal
ptsd
claims
and
the
clear
resignations
or
attrition
that
we're
seeing,
there's,
also
a
level
of
people
who
are
just
going
on
leave
in
some
form,
whether
that's
taking
significant
vacation
leave
or
using
up
the
rest
of
their
or
they're
paid
sick.
J
F
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
thank
you,
mr
mayor,
for
this
update.
I
am
curious.
You
know
in
north
minneapolis
we've
just
been
experiencing
a
lot
of
gun
violence,
and
so
I'm
just
curious
if
you
could
share
what
your
vision
is
for
public
safety,
particularly
during
this
time
of
increased
violence,
and
what
is
your
plan
for
us
to
be
able
to
get
there?
I'm
having
a
lot
of
constituents
ask
and
so
just
wanted
to
be
able
to
have
an
open
conversation
around
what
that
looks
like
thank
you
well,.
J
I
I
will
begin,
but
then
I
will
kick
it
to
our
our
expert
in
command
and
chief
ardando.
We
want
a
comprehensive
vision
for
for
public
safety.
That
includes.
B
J
Variety
of
different
factors:
we
want
to
be
working
hand-in-hand
with
community.
We
want
to
be
working
with
everything
from
neighborhood
associations
to
non-profits
to
groups
like
mad
groups
like
mad
dads
and
mothers
love.
J
You
know,
I
I
do
believe
in
a
community-based
approach
now
for
some
of
these
more
significant
issues
that
that
we're
seeing
yeah,
we
need
to
have
more
a
more
clear
tactical
approach,
and
it
includes
everything
from
gvi
to
next
step,
a
hospital-based
intervention
system
and
obviously
we
we
also
need
law,
enforcement
and
and
right
now
our
our
law
enforcement
are
encountering
some
really
difficult
scenarios
I'll,
let
maybe
the
chief
talk
about
what
they're
seeing
on
the
ground
a
bit
more.
J
But
yes,
we
have
seen
a
significant
increase
in
gun,
violence
and
violent
crime.
This
is
what
the
data
shows
right
now.
Chief,
would
you
care
to
give
us
more
of
a
rundown.
K
Yes,
madam
chair
to
councilmember
cunningham,
thank
you
for
your
question.
So,
as
I
go
into
creating
a
new
mpd
in
collaboration
with
our
communities,
you
know
the
first
pillar
to
that
is.
We
must
first
do
no
harm
and
what
I.
D
K
That
we
all
are
very
familiar
with
the
hypocritical
to
doctors,
take
and
and
harm
is
defined
as
causing
someone
or
something
to
be
hurt,
broken
damaged
or
made
less
valuable.
So
everything
that
we
do
in
the
minneapolis
police
department.
We
first
must
acknowledge
our
contribution
to
both
historical
and
present
day
trauma,
but
that
principle
of
do
no
harm
has
to
provide
a
guiding
light
for
for
us
from
which
all
of
our
decisions
must
flow.
K
And
so,
in
order
for
us
to
do
this,
work,
we're
going
to
need
bold,
courageous,
vulnerable,
humble
and
unapologetic
leaders
to
help
transform
the
change
that
we
need
now,
not
yesterday,
not
last
week,
but
now,
and
so
we
need
the
right
people,
leaders
and
influencers,
regardless
of
their
rank
of
position
to
help
us
move
this
work
forward
and
they
must
be
supported.
K
Community
has
to
be
leading
this
change
of
reform
and
it
has
to
be
community
centered
and
focused
the
data.
We
must
capture
and
routinely
provide
clear
and
measurable
information
that
is
focused
on
transparency
and
our
process.
So
our
organization
structure
must
support
our
values
so
from
hiring
to
discipline
and
training.
Those
all
have
to
be
really
consistent
with
our
values.
A
K
So
that
has
to
be
now
the
hour
for
justice
is
now,
and
so
that
is,
and
I'm
giving
you
a
snapshot
of
the
creating
a
new
mpd.
We
will
not
be
status
quo
ever
again.
We
will
not
ever
go
back
to
business
as
usual,
and
so
that's
a
quick
snapshot
of
that
in
in
terms
of
customer
cunningham.
In
terms
of
what
we're
doing-
and
you
mentioned
the
violence,
unfortunately,
that
we
are
seeing
an
increase,
it
is
really
has
to
be
an
all
hands
on
deck
approach.
K
K
K
It's
also
about
supporting
inspector
paul
fis,
making
sure
that
he's
got
teams
available
to
be
in
some
of
those
areas
where
it's
been
more
problematic.
We
have
contingency
plans
in
place
now
to
re-evaluate.
We
look
at
about
reorganizing
some
of
the
units
that
we've
had
in
place
and
if
we
can
make
those
more
effective,
that
may
mean
combining
units
and
some
of
those
things.
So
those
are
those
are
ongoing
and
will
continue
to
be,
but
the
the
main
goal
is
to
keep
our
community
safe.
We
have
way
too
many
guns
on
the
street.
K
We
will
eclipse
last
year's
recovery
of
guns.
We
had
over
almost
a
thousand
last
year,
we're
way
above
that
this
year
we
see
that
some
of
the
gun
play
that
comes
out
is
multiple
rounds,
large
capacity
rounds.
That's
why
the
federal
partners
like
the
atf
and
dea
it's
important
so
that
we
can
start
asking
the
question:
how
are
these
guns
getting
into
our
communities,
because
that
is
problematic
in
and
of
itself,
not
just
getting
those
responsible,
but
how
are
we
getting
these
guns
into
our
communities?
F
Yes,
so
so
just
to
reflect
back
to
make
sure
that
I'm
hearing
both
the
mayor-in-chief.
So
what
we're
really
looking
at
is
a
comprehensive
approach
that
really
does
incorporate
the
office
of
violence,
prevention,
gbi,
neighborhood-based
groups
as
well
as
neighborhood
organizations,
while
also
folding
in
reforms
like
mandatory
training,
I'm
curious
about
so
I
I
read
in
the
paper
that
that
there's
a
looking
to
move
more
officers
to
patrols.
F
I
know
that
in
in
my
ward,
just
last
night
there
was
a
we
talked
about
high
capacity
gun
play.
That
happens.
There
was
a
shooting
that
happened
in
my
ward,
someone's
house
was
shot
in
the
off,
like
police,
never
came,
and
so
I'm
just
curious
about
like
how
are
we
shifting
resources
during
a
time
like
this,
in
which
we
do
need
more
folks
on
patrol
it?
It
seemed
like
that
was
something
that
you
were
looking
at
doing,
but
I
was
just
hoping
maybe
for
some
clarification.
Thank
you.
K
Yes,
madam
chair
customer
cunningham,
so
you're
absolutely
right,
one
of
the
things
that
we
did
actually
during
copied,
but
now
have
really
ramped
up
this
level.
Is
we
looked
at
this
call
center,
where
we
had
placed
some
of
those
officers
that
were
not
normally
assigned
to
911
patrol
to
answer
our
911
calls,
as
this
summer
has
has
come
upon
us,
and
we've
seen
the
surge
in
violence
we
are.
K
We
are
really
trying
to
alleviate
the
calls
that
officers
that
would
be
normally
tied
up
on
those
calls
we're
having
a
direct
call
in
center,
and
so
that
will
shift
more
officers
back
to
the
precincts
to
help
the
inspector
golfers
respond
to
those
calls.
The
one
thing
about
shootings
is-
and
I
I
do
this
to
educate
our
public-
is
that
those
shootings
require
and
take
up
is
all
of
you
probably
were
on
the
phone.
It's
never
just,
usually
one
squad
car
at
a
shooting
scene.
It
requires
a
lot
of
resources.
K
If
you
have
multiple
victims,
if
you're
trying
to
secure
evidence,
if
you're
coordinating
off
streets
with
tape
and
and
just
trying
to
maintain
it,
it
can
really
drain
a
a
shift
on
a
in
a
precinct
and
so
but
making
sure
that
all
precincts
that
certainly
as
you're,
referring
to
the
north
side
report,
precinct
making
sure
that
we're
doing
it
effectively
and
smartly
to
increase
those
resources.
So
the
call
center
would
be
one
of
those.
For
example,
when
our
sros
were
displaced.
K
Those
are
all
those
folks
are
all
now
reassigned
as
well
to
the
precinct.
So
we're
we're
continuing
to
reevaluate
that
and
make
sure
that
we,
we
have
those
officers
here
to
help
out
the
precincts.
I
Yeah,
thank
you
very
much,
and
I
really
appreciate
you
being
here
chief
and
I
appreciate
all
that
information.
I
think
it's
going
to
be
critically
important,
that
we
focus
our
attention
and
attention
into
these
violent
areas
and
also
having
this
larger
task
force.
Helping
us
understand
and
stop.
The
guns
that
are
coming
into
our
community
will
be
critically
important,
and
I
know
that
the
federal
agencies
are
really
important
to
that.
I
I
also
just
wanted
to
note
how
kind
of
reaffirming
I
guess
it
is
to
to
hear
your
us
discussing
new
visions
and
status
quo
being
unacceptable
and
those
kinds
of
things,
and
I
know
that
it's
been
popular
in
the
community
lately
to
act
like
the
leadership
in
the
department
and
even
in
the
mayor's
office,
is
miles
and
miles
away
from
where
the
council
is,
and
I'm
just
impressed
by
how
actually,
how
close,
together
that
we
are
and
how
we
all
are
united,
saying
that
we
really
do
need
to
make
transformational
change
in
the
way
we
do
public
safety
and
the
way
that
you're
embracing
the
violence,
prevention,
efforts
and
gvi,
which
I
think
is
a
has
a
critical
partnership
with
the
department
as
well
as
public
health
professionals,
as
we're
approaching
it
is,
is
really
hopeful
and
a
hopeful
sign,
especially
as
we're
entering
this
year-long
conversation
about
public
safety.
I
And
so
after
that
speech
I
just
wanted
to
point
and
maybe
ask
a
little
bit
about
two
things,
and
I
don't
really
need
answers
to
these
now.
But
there
are
some
opportunities,
maybe
to
learn
from
the
past
and
so
folks
may
recall
a
lot
of
discussion
about
procedural
justice
with
the
last
administration
and
we
had
the
department
of
justice
come
in
and
we
had.
I
I
I
also
think
we
had
an
opportunity-
and
I
think
there
probably
was
some
internal
work
that
was
done
on
what
could
we
learn
from
past
police
involved
killings
and
we
certainly
have
had
a
string
of
them
and
we've
looked
at
them
carefully
and
there
some
of
them
have
gone
through
trials,
and
so
there's
a
lot
of
information
that
we
got
and
I
think,
as
we're
kind
of
poised,
if
you
will
to
reinvent
public
safety
in
our
city.
I
think
it
would
be
important
if
we
could
learn
from
that.
I
So
what
what
did
we
learn
from
and
what
could
we
learn
from
past
police
misconduct
and
especially
on
police
involved
deaths,
and
also
what
can
we
carry
over
from
all
that
work?
That
was
done
when
the
department
of
justice
was
here
and
there
were
all
those
task
forces.
So
I
think
it
would
be
great
to
have
space
and
time
to
look
at
those
two
things,
maybe
at
the
pogo
committee
or
something
I
don't
have
a
staff
direction
today,
but
I
just
wanted
to
make
that
request
formally
here
in
public.
B
Thank
you,
council
member,
I'm
happy
to
follow
up
to
schedule
something
perhaps
at
our
pogo
meeting
coming
up
in
the
future.
Are
there
any
other
questions
related
to
the
mayor's
report?
B
I
did
want
to
note
you
know
councilmember
goodman
and
I
have
been
meeting
regularly
with
business
owners
and
community
members
in
uptown
about
safety
and,
and
it
had
come
to
our
attention
that
there
was
the
funds
for
violence
prevention
organizations
may
be
running
out
before
the
summer
is
over.
So
I,
in
the
interest
of
time
I'll
just
note
that
as
a
comment
and
and
just
want
to
follow
up
about
that
as
well.
K
B
K
Madam
clear
and
I
apologize
councilmember
gordon
your
last
comments.
I
got
dropped
off
the
line
at
the
last,
but
I
think
I
heard
your
last
two
comments
so
one
the
report
that
you're
referring
to
was
the
office
of
justice
programs,
not
procedural
justice,
but
the
office
of
justice
programs,
diagnostic
assessment,
that
they
came
in
back
in
2015
and
did,
and
there
were
various
subcommittees
and
groups
communications.
As
you
mentioned,
I
think
there
was
a
policy
one
that
work.
K
Unfortunately,
and
it's
appreciative
I
know
you
spent
a
long
time
with
those
groups
it
kind
of
dissolved
after
there
was
a
change
in
the
national
leadership
in
dc,
so
the
members
of
that
ojp,
doj
group,
kind
of
left
and
gone,
and
certainly
my
predecessor
had
had
left
and
so
that
that
work
kind
of
just
ended.
However,
there
are
things
that
we
incorporated
from
those
subcommittees.
K
I
don't
believe
there's
kind
of
like
a
binding
document
that
has
that,
but
there's
certainly
things.
I
can
brief
you
on
in
terms
of
where
some
of
those
things
have
landed.
K
The
second
piece
that
you
mentioned
about,
yes,
we
absolutely
need,
and,
as
chief
I
have
to
learn
and
make
sure
our
department
learns
from
any
of
these
officer
involved
killings
or
shootings.
Or
what
have
you
the
one
more
recently
that
you're,
referring
to
where
there's
a
a
little
bit
of
a
time
delay,
is
that
that
matter
is
still
being
appealed
in
the
district
courts.
So
we
are
not
able
to
typically
we're
able
to
get
all
court
transcripts
to
help
us
in
terms
of
the
review
from
everything
from
a
training
perspective.
K
You
know
lessons
learned
and
I'm
referring
to
the
justine
damon
ruth
case.
So,
while
those
appeals
are
still
in
place,
we
are
not
given
access
to
all
those
poor
transcripts.
So
that
is
a
very
key
piece.
The
officer,
testimonies
and
and
statements,
and
so
so
we
we've,
the
the
review
is
is
is
been
started,
but
it's
not
complete
because
there's
some
vital
testimony
and
transcript
from
from
officers
and
former
officers
that
we
need
to
get.
K
I
If
I
could
just
follow
up
I
I
can
appreciate
that
I
think,
if
there's
so,
there
might
be
more
information.
We
could
share
some
from
some
of
the
other
incidents,
and
so
I'm
not
sure
when
the
right
time
is
I
can
appreciate.
We
can't
get
all
that
information
about
more
recent.
These
killings,
but
thurman
blevins
or
travis
jordan,
or
there
might
be
other
lessons
that
we
could
learn.
I
So,
let's
think
about
when
that
might
be
ready
or
what
level
of
conversation
we
could
have
about
it,
because
I
do
think
probably
a
good
practice
would
be
to
do
some
in-depth
kind
of
after-action
reports
and
look
at
it.
Kind
of
like
hospitals
do
mortality
reviews
whenever
anybody
dies
there
in
it.
I
So
anyway,
that
that's
that's
a
thought,
and
I
appreciate
that
the
the
council
president
and
chair
of
the
pogo
committee
is
interested
and
willing
to
bring
these
up
through
the
committee
process,
which
is
really
where
we
should
discuss
them
in
detail
and
not
here.
Thank
you.
B
See
none
that
completes
the
mayor's
reports
and
I'll
direct
the
clerk
to
file
that
report.
Unless
there
are
any
injunctions
hearing,
then
I'll
ask
everyone
to
make
sure
that
their
phones
are
muted
or
computers.
So
the
next
order
of
business
is
reports
from
our
standing
committees,
we'll
begin
with
report
from
the
business
inspections
and
zoning
committee,
and
that
will
be
given
by
the
chair
council,
member
goodman.
L
Good
morning,
council
president
bender
members
of
the
city
council,
the
biz
agenda,
is
in
front
of
us
item
number.
One
is
a
zoning
board
of
adjustment
appeal
for
matthew,
wolf
of
tough
law,
and
we
voted
to
deny
the
appeal
item
number
two
is
an
appeal
of
the
zoning
administrator
by
eric
takashita
for
a
project
at
4736,
4740
grand
avenue
south.
We
also
voted
to
deny
that
appeal.
Item
number
three
is
a
liquor.
Are
the
liquor
license?
L
Renewals
item
number
four
is
a
lease
with
northstar
community
rowing
for
a
portion
of
the
upper
harbor
site
item
five
is
a
fairly
significant
item
and
if
you
aren't
on
the
committee,
you
might
want
to
take
a
look
at
it.
It's
the
funding
recommendations
for
the
btab
program
that
are
going
to
a
whole
host
of
really
amazing
organizations.
Working
on
economic
recovery
item
number:
six
is
a
temporary
lease
with
the
postal
service
at
10
west
lake
street
item.
7
is
a
comprehensive
plan.
L
B
B
So
simpson
has
really
been
a
leader
for
a
long
time
in
our
community
in
providing
low
barrier
shelter,
and
this
opportunity
will
give
them
even
more
of
a
chance
to
create
a
pathway
to
housing
for
the
folks
that
they're
serving.
So
this
is
one
of
the
many
steps,
including
funding
the
project,
but
it's
a
significant
one-
and
I
just
wanted
to
thank
folks
for
that.
Supporting
the
comprehensive
plan.
B
Amendment
required
item
six
is
the
approval
of
elise
with
the
post
office,
and
I
wanted
to
just
acknowledge
that
we
have
heard
some
interest
in
using
parts
of
the
kmart
building
for
other
uses,
including
potentially
shelter.
So
that's
something
I've
talked
about
with
our
staff.
B
This
is
using
just
a
portion
of
the
kmart
building,
and
so
there
would
be
space
for
other
uses.
The
challenges
of
shelter
operations
are
more
related
to
the
operating
finding
an
operator
and
funding
operations.
So
that's
you
know
so,
for
example,
those
three
shelter
projects
that
we're
pursuing
in
coordination
with
the
county.
B
That's
one
of
the
big
considerations
is
finding
an
operator
and
finding
operating
funding,
including
you
know
now.
The
city
funding
shelter
operations
in
some
of
the
projects,
so
so
certainly
the
kmart
building
could
be
used
in
that
way
temporarily,
but
it
would
it
would.
There
would
be
a
lot
of
questions
to
answer
on
that
operations,
side
and
then
finally,
just
wanted
to
say
this
item.
B
Eight
is
related
to
an
affordable
housing
project
in
word,
10,
again
just
adding
to
the
options
that
folks
need
to
be
able
to
be
stably
housed
in
our
community
and
every
project
helps
us
chip
away.
So
thanks
to
everyone
who
worked
on
this
project,
including
the
whittier
alliance,
housing
committee,
who's
been
working
to
build
support
for
this
project.
B
So
that's
so
much
in
word,
10
on
this
one
agenda.
Thank
you.
Any
further
discussion.
Cnn
clerk
will
call
the
roll.
B
D
A
F
F
H
H
B
B

carries

report

E
B
F
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
just
wanted
to
there's
two
items
I
want
to
speak
to
so
I
first
is
item
41
around
the
perpetual,
affordable
housing.
There
are
a
few
policy
questions
within
that.
I
am
not
sure
so.
This
really
impacts
north
minneapolis
in
particular.
There's
a
specific
policy
question
around
differentiating
the
applicability
of
this
program,
which
I
think
is
I
mean
that's,
okay,
because
that's
how
equity
works.
However,
I
have
not
still
not
had
the
opportunity
to
engage
with
cped
staff
to
be
able
to
understand
how
it
will
be
applied.
F
What
the
impacts
are.
We
have
a
great
conversation
at
pogo,
but
I
would
like
to
be
able
to
dig
into
those
details
a
little
bit
more
before
I
feel
comfortable
personally
with
moving
that
forward.
So
I
would
like
to
make
a
motion
to
delay
item
number
41
till
the
next
cycle.
B
Thank
you
councilmember
cunningham,
and
do
you
think
it
makes
sense
to
postpone
both
item
41
and
40
as
well,
which
is
the
related
item
about
the
minneapolis
home
program,
specifically.
F
B
B
I
don't
see
any,
and
I
know
that
the
housing
group
within
cped
is
already
shifting
this
program
in
relationship
to
specific
race
equity
goals.
So
I
think
some
of
these
bigger
policy
questions
were
brought
to
the
council
in
this
proposal.
That
is
reflected
in
items
40
and
41,
but
some
also
some
interim
changes
have
been
made
to
that
program
in
recent
years
under
direction
from
from
the
council
members,
whose
wards
have
a
lot
of
the
property
within
them
council.
Vice
president.
E
Yeah,
thank
you,
madam
president,
and
I
just
wanted
to
speak
to
the
motion
a
little
bit,
which
you
know
I
mean.
Certainly
this
will
impact
a
lot
of
properties
potentially
in
in
north
minneapolis,
and
so
consequently,
it's
important
for
the
council
member
to
to
be
able
to
get
more
information.
I
just
hope
we,
we
don't
delay
this
too
long.
E
This
project
has
been
designed
specifically
to
address
many
of
the
concerns
that
I
know
council
member
cunningham
has
been
discussing,
build,
creating
wealth
opportunity,
creating
wealth,
building
opportunities
for
communities
of
color
and
home
ownership
opportunities.
So
you
know,
while
I
I
will
support
this
today.
I
I
don't
want
us
to
to
to
drag
this
out
for
for
very
long.
B
All
right,
thank
you
both,
so
I
will
is
there
any
other
discussion
on
the
pogo
agenda
or
on
those
two
items.
D
D
A
F
H
B
B
E
Thank
you.
I
thought
I
had
unlea
muted.
So
thank
you.
Madam
president,
the
executive
committee
brings
forward
one
item
for
consideration
today,
which
is
to
receive
the
appointment
of
jim
router
as
city
attorney
and
refer
that
appointment
to
the
policy
and
government
oversight
committee
for
scheduling
of
a
public
hearing,
I
moved
the
executive
committee
report
for
approval.
B
A
F
D
B
B
These
ordinances
are
aimed
at
different
titles
in
12
and
20,
which
are
why
they're
in
different
ordinances
and
they
cover
multiple
chapters
which
are
listed
in
the
printed
agenda.
The
fifth
and
final
motion
is
by
council
members,
gordon
and
fletcher,
and
it's
for
the
introduction
first
reading
and
referral
to
the
business
inspections
and
sony
committee,
the
subject
matter
of
an
ordinance
amending
the
zoning
code
to
regulate
off
street
parking
and
travel
demand
management,
which
involves
several
chapters
which
are
all
listed
in
the
agenda.
L
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
did
have
the
opportunity
to
talk
to
council
member
schroeder,
as
well
as
council,
member
gordon
about
being
an
author
and
working
with
them
collaboratively
on
items
three
and
four
and
they
both
agreed,
and
so
I'm
hoping
I
could
be
added
as
an
author
and
also
not
just
in
name,
but
so
that
I
can
participate
with
them.
I
think
this
is
a
really
important
thing,
an
issue
I've
worked
on
for
a
long
time
and
I'm
interested
in
working
collaboratively
with
them
on
it.
B
I
see
councilman
gordon,
is
that
a
okay
got
it
so
see
no
more
discussion.
I
will
ask
the
clerk
to
call
the
role.
D
E
B
B
So
that
completes
the
business
on
the
public
portion
of
our
agenda.
We
do
have
a
request
for
a
closed
session.
The
purpose
is
to
discuss
litigation
matters
which
are
listed
on
the
agenda
with
our
city
attorney,
and
I
will
I
want
to
read
those
into
the
record
those
three
items,
so
I
just
have
to
find
my
agenda
page
okay.
So
there
are
three
items:
the
litigation
matter
of
karen
nelson
schaefer.
B
As
trustee
for
the
next

kin
of

floyd

chauvin,
tau
jutau,
thomas
lean,
alexander
kung,
and
the
city
of
minneapolis,
the
litigation
matter
of
jared

versus
the
city
of
annapolis
and
john
doe,
and
the
third

of

of
america,

suburgy
of
the

of
enunciation
versus

tech,
inc
and
others
versus
the
city

B

Thank
you,
president
bender.
With
those
three
cases
they
are
in
active
or
threatened,
or
excuse
me,
pending
litigation
in
both
state
and
or
federal
court.
Your
lawyers
wish
to
discuss
with
the
council
litigation
strategy
accordingly,
under
the
minnesota
open
meeting
law,

the
council
may
upon
a
proper
motion,

the
meeting

the
purposes
of
attorney-client
communication
on
these
matters
and

council.
B
D

E
B
B
That
carries,
and
we
may
now
move
to
the
closed
session,
we'll
reconvene
in
an
open
session
after
we
have
concluded
those
three
matters
that
were
listed
so
to
my
colleagues,
you'll,
be
able
to
exit
this
meeting
and
re-enter

Thank
you,
mr
clerk.
The
time
is
now
12
25
pm
and
the
city
council
has
reconvened
our
open
public
session.
Following
the
conclusion
of
our
closed
session.
Let
the
record
reflect
that
there
are
no
actions
being
taken
as
a
result
of
the
closed
session.
With
that,
we
have
concluded
all
the
items
on
our
agenda
for
today's
meeting,
with
nothing
further
to
come
before
the
council
and
without
objection.
I
will
declare
this
meeting
adjourned.
