B
Good
afternoon
I
am
going
to
start
this
meeting
as
we
just
barely
have
a
quorum
of
our
members,
which
is
unfortunate,
but
we
did
just
get
done
with
a
full
council
meeting.
That
was
quite
long
and
I
think
that
sometimes
these
beginning
prepared
remarks
are
more
for
the
public
and
that
my
colleagues
do
kind
of
understand
the
focus
and
where
we're
at.
B
In
the
context
of
this
conversation,
my
name
is
lenny
palmisano,
I'm
the
chair
of
the
budget
committee
and
I'll
call
to
order
this
regular
meeting
for
friday
july
17th
before
we
proceed
I'll
note
for
the
record
that
this
meeting
has
remote
participation
by
council
members
and
city
staff
pursuant
to
minnesota,
open
meeting
law,
section
13d
.021
due
to
the
declared
state
of
local
public
public
health
emergency
at
this
time,
I'll
ask
the
clerk
to
call
the
role
to
verify
the
presence
of
o
quorum.
Mr
clerk.
C
A
C
D
B
Thank
you.
Let
the
record
reflect
that
we
have
a
quorum
colleagues.
Our
meeting
today
is
our
markup
session.
The
entire
focus
of
this
meeting
is
to
consider
the
amendments
which
council
members
may
bring
forward
on
the
revisions
proposed
to
our
2020
budget
by
the
mayor
proposed
by
the
mayor.
Before
we
do
anything
else,
I
want
to
express
my
appreciation
to
all
of
you
for
the
thoughtful
work
you've
done
to
carefully
explore
what
the
mayor
proposed,
how
those
reductions
will
impact
our
city,
enterprise
and,
more
importantly,
how
those
reductions
will
impact
our
community.
B
It's
worth
repeating
that
minneapolis
faces
unprecedented
challenges.
These
challenges
demand
difficult,
even
painful
decisions
from
us,
as
we
examine
how
to
respond
in
a
way
that
protects
and
preserves
the
necessary
core
functions
of
government
while
respecting
the
shared
values
to
which
we've
committed
ourselves.
In
the
meeting
and
meeting
the
needs
day-to-day
of
our
constituents.
B
As
chair
of
this
budget
committee,
I
want
to
continue
to
level
set
all
of
us
that
the
cuts
we
have
already
made,
as
well
as
the
cuts
we
will
be
making
during
this
revised
budget
for
the
current
fiscal
year
are
just
the
beginning.
We
must
be
thinking
of
the
long
term.
We
know
that
in
in
less
than
a
month,
we
will
be
receiving
the
mayor's
proposed
budget
for
next
year
and
it
will
be
an
austere
proposal
and
we
will
have
bigger
challenges
here.
B
As
we
look
to
the
future,
the
revision
of
the
2020
budget
was
intended
to
focus
on
targeted
reductions
that
will
help
the
city
address
an
immediate
budget
shortfall
before
the
end
of
this
year
to
the
extent
possible.
We
want
to
avoid
massive
structural
changes
for
the
moment,
because
those
bigger
changes
which
we
know
are
needed
and
which
are
coming,
require
a
bit
more
thought,
analysis
and
finesse.
B
Quite
frankly,
it
requires
more
time
to
address
the
complexity
of
pulling
apart
major
operating
chunks
of
an
enterprise.
That
is
better.
That's
this
big,
so
we're
hoping
to
address
those
significant
structural
changes
as
part
of
the
2021
budget.
These
revisions
are
still
just
about
plugging
holes
in
this
year's
budget
reform
restructure
right
sizing,
those
will
undoubtedly
be
the
themes
of
the
2021
budget
and
we
will
address
those
challenges
together
at
the
appropriate
time
as
I've
done
before.
I
want
to
start
with
an
overview
of
the
process.
I
intend
to
follow
for
this
meeting
then
I'll.
B
Take
any
immediate
questions
from
my
colleagues
about
that
process,
and
once
we
have
that
clarity
I'll
ask
director
intramural
to
bring
the
proposed
amendments
forward
in
the
order
that
he
and
I
have
created
these
are
ordered
in
the
agenda
packet
that
was
sent
to
all
council
members
this
morning,
while
we
were
in
our
council
meeting,
I've
also
asked
the
technical
team
to
post
that
packet
in
in
the
chat
feature
that
they're
doing
so
now,
and
we
will
be
displaying
the
amendments
on
the
screen
for
the
viewing
public.
B
The
entire
packet
will
be
added
to
the
file
in
limbs.
Once
this
meeting
is
adjourned,
we
will
address
each
amendment
in
order
when
we've
completed
action
on
all
of
the
prepared
amendments,
I
will
open
the
floor
to
any
further
proposals
that
were
maybe
not
done
in
time
to
be
included
in
the
packet
when
we've
completed
all
of
those,
we
will
then
direct
staff
to
revise
the
2020
revised
budget
proposal
to
reflect
these
changes
and
to
have
that
posted
in
advance
of
our
public
hearing,
which
is
scheduled
for
next
wednesday
july
22nd
at
10
a.m.
B
B
B
B
We'll
also
ask
our
technical
team
to
be
sure
that
we're
displaying
each
amendment
as
mr
intramural
is
explaining
it
so
that
the
public
can
see
what's
being
proposed.
With
that.
I
recognize
you,
mr
intermil,
to
introduce
the
first
amendment.
G
Amendment
number
one
is
a
motion
by
council
member
gordon
and
it
reads
amending
the
2020
mayor's
recommended
revised
budget
in
the
general
fund
for
the
health
and
city
coordinator
department,
increasing
the
appropriation
in
the
general
fund
for
the
health
department
by
fifty
thousand
dollar
one
time
for
the
fast
track
change
item,
reducing
the
appropriation
in
the
city
coordinator
department
by
fifty
thousand
dollars.
One
time
this
reduction
shall
come
from
funds
allocated
for
the
downtown
council
partnership.
B
Thank
you,
council,
member
gordon,
did
you
want
to
speak
to
this
amendment.
H
I
did
I'd
actually
like
to
speak
to
this
one
and
the
next
two.
So,
as
my
colleagues
are
aware,
I'll
be
bringing
forward
five
amendments
today,
the
first
three
are
to
kind
of
backfill
cuts
that
were
proposed
by
the
mayor
with
some
programs,
and
we
actually
spoke
about
these
at
our
last
meeting.
The
first
one
is
this
fast
track
program,
and
the
second
one,
I
believe,
is
about
the
healthy
homes
for
low-income
people
and
the
third
one
is
about
the
youth
workers
in
city
riverside
and
seward.
H
I
was
going
to
use
as
a
funding
source
as
this
articulates
the
downtown
council
partnership.
I
shared
this
idea
with
some
of
my
colleagues
and
they
had
concerns
about
it,
so
I
would
like
to
bring
in
a
a
different
version
of
these
first
three,
where
the
funds
are
coming
from
the
minneapolis
police
department.
H
I
think
you
should
be
able
to
see
that
amendment
in
potentially.
E
B
H
B
It
looks
like
they're
working
to
get
your
there.
We
go.
Councilmember,
gordon,
is
what
you
see
on
the
screen
accurate
to
your
intentions.
Right
now,
for
the
first
motion,
correct.
H
B
Let's
see,
I
will
start
with
my
colleagues:
are
there
any
questions
from
other
council
members
to
this
substitute
motion
by
councilmember,
gordon,
not
seeing
anybody
immediately
in
the
chat?
I
will
put
myself
into
queue
and
just
ask
I:
don't
I'm
not
comfortable
with
just
saying
blanket
cuts
to
a
department
without
saying
where
has
there
been
any
discussion
as
to
where
this
money
should
come
from
within
the
police
department?
B
We
have
further
amendments
to
the
police
department
that
are
very
specific
as
to
what
funding
bucket
they
are
coming
from,
and
I
do
ask
that,
as
a
general
discipline
from
my
colleagues
and
I
invite
director
intramural
to
add
any
additional
information
he
might
have
about
it.
H
And
I
can
now
also
comment
that
there
was.
I
was
interested
in
taking
it
from
a
special
operations
fund.
H
I
was
also
trying
to
find
a
place
where
it
would
not
necessarily
impact
the
ability
of
police
to
respond
to
9-1-1
calls,
for
example,
but
in
some
correspondence
with
the
police
department,
finance
division,
they
seemed
more
comfortable
with
keeping
it
general
and
they
could
have
some
flexibility
later.
I
would
be
open
to
ideas
about
making
it
more
specific
from
my
colleagues
today
and
also
between
now.
B
Sorry,
I'm
just
realizing
that
there
were
more
messages
down
that
I
hadn't
seen
council
president
bender
did
you
want
to
add
anything
here
at
this
moment.
I
Nope
you,
you
asked
my
question
as
well,
and
I
think
I
mean
I
guess
I
could
just
add
that
I
think
the
reason
for
that
practice
is
that
it
allows
us
to
give
direction
for
how
to
prioritize
those
cuts
within
a
department
rather
than
leaving
that
up
to
the
department
to
ensure
that
they're,
in
line
with
the
direction
we're
trying
to
give
and
the
priorities
of
the
body.
J
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
I
had
similar
concerns
and
just
really
wanting
to
know
what
area
in
the
police
budget
that
we
were
thinking
of
reducing
these
funds,
these
funds.
So
generally,
I'm
in.
B
Support,
thank
you.
I
do
want
to
clarify.
I
may
have
said
substitutes.
These
are
men.
These
are
amendments
they've
been
revised.
They
were
revised
here
at
the
very
last
minute,
which
is
why
they're
not
here
in
our
ordered
packets
in
front
of
us
council
member
gordon,
did
you
want
to
help
me
understand
more
about
the
special
operations
fund
that
you
are
thinking
of
here
that
you
said
you
might
want
to
specify,
and
then
our?
If,
if
you
don't
want
to
after
that,
our
I'm
going
to
ask
our
budget
director
to
chime
in.
H
Yeah,
you
could
turn
to
the
budget
director
if
you
want
it
looked
like
that
was
a
source
that
had
quite
a
bit
of
funding
that
hadn't
been
utilized
yet
and
was
unlikely
to
be
utilized,
and
so
that's
why
I
went
to
it.
I
don't
have
it
in
front
of
me
on
my
computer
what
the
total
was.
Perhaps
the
budget
director
does
I'll
see
if
I
can
find
it.
B
Thank
you,
director,
intermil
and
then
councilmember
cunningham.
G
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
think
that
unless
I
am
misremembering,
the
other
amendments
have
all
been
written
to
at
least
specify
the
budget
program
area
to
be
reduced
and,
in
many
cases,
are
more
specific
in
that
and
to
the
points
you've
made
to
the
points
the
council
president
has
made
that's
a
discipline
that
we've
tried
to
follow
over
the
last
few
years
to
ensure
alignment
between
departments
and
their
deployment
of
resources
and
and
policymakers
and
their
intent
for
resources.
G
G
What
we
are
doing
right
now
is
plugging
holes
in
in
in
the
structure
as
as
we're
going,
and
that
is
extremely
hard
to
do,
and,
and
that
is
why
more
specificity
is
even
more
important
now,
and
so
I
think
that
at
a
bare
minimum,
the
finance
department
would
strongly
recommend
at
least
including
a
budget
program
area.
B
K
Yes,
thank
you
first,
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
councilmember
gordon
for
bringing
forward
these
amendments.
These
are
really
critical
line
items
that
I
was
very.
K
To
see
were
included
with
the
cuts,
I
know
we
have
to
make
some
hard
decisions
but
priorities.
I
feel
like
this,
these
better
align
with
our
priorities
and
values.
K
While
I
appreciate
good
discipline
and
and
policies
and
practices,
I
guess
one
of
the
questions
that
I
would
have
that
has
always
been
kind
of
a
bit
of
a
struggle
for
me
is
that
we,
as
a
council,
we
get
really
specific.
K
We
say
it
comes
from
this
particular
program
or
we're
cutting
this
particular
position
from
the
from
the
department
and
then
department
heads
have
the
ability
to
then
backfill
or
move
money
around.
However,
they
would
like
to
so
sure
we
can
signal.
This
is
what
our
priority
is.
We
can
say
through
being
super
specific
that
here's
our
values
that
we
would
like
for
you
to
reflect,
but
ultimately
department
heads
have
the
ability
to
move
money
from
wherever
they
would
like
to
to
be
able
to
backfill.
K
So
I
appreciate
the
discipline,
but
I
also
want
to
just
be
like
clear
from
at
least
my
understanding
of
the
many
conversations
that
I've
had
about
this,
that
this
is
not
about
the
city
council
directly
telling
like
this
is
not
a.
We
are
taking
this
because
that's
not
a
priority
and
you
are
not
allowed
to
do
that.
They
are
still
allowed
to
be
able
to
move
the
money
over
and
to
be
able
to
backfill
it.
So
I
apprec
again.
K
I
appreciate
this
motion,
but
I
just
want
to
want
to
be
able
to
name
that,
because
I
think
that
that's
a
little
bit
of
an
unfair
classification
to
say
that
we're
specific,
because
we
want
to
give
direction
to
department
heads
who
have
the
ability
to
move
money.
However,
they
would
like
to
anyway.
H
H
We
put
money
into
some
project
and
it
ends
up
not
going
there
because
they've
decided
to
move
it
to
another
one.
So
in
light
of
that
comment,
and
also
in
light
of
the
fact
that
the
department
finance
was
comfortable
and
thought,
this
was
a
good
approach
to
take
right
now,
I'm
happy
with
it,
but
I'm
also
willing
between
now
and
our
next
meeting
to
refine
it
a
little
better.
If
that
would
make
folks
comfortable,
if
others
would
prefer
to
table
the
whole
idea,
you
could
speak
up
and
that
would
give
me
some
guidance.
H
But
I
I
think,
there's
a
lot
of
support
for
this
and
the
next
two
items,
and
we
may
as
well
clarify
that
we
want
to
fund
them
from
the
police
department
and
then
we
can
dig
into
it
a
little
more
deeply
later
and
I
can
carry
your
message
back
to
the
department
and
say:
please
help
me
drill
down
and
find
a
suitable
location
for
this
funding.
We'd
all
be
more
comfortable
with
it.
H
I
think
he
misunderstood
me.
I
think
you
were
mentioning
the
budget
finance
with
the
police
department
who
and
him
their
finance
individual
happens
to
be
sick
right
now,
and
so
that
might
have
been
my
other
ramifications,
and
you
all
know
that
this
was
the
last
minute
I'm
not
trying
to
cast
any
dispersions
on
anyone.
H
The
staff
has
been
very
helpful
and
if
you
want
to
have
any
anger
aimed
at
anyone
aiming
at
me,
this
is
my
work
product.
I.
B
Am
I'm
not
acting
out
of
anger
at
all
right
now,
but
I
just
would
like
our
budget
director
to
weigh
in
on
this
absent
our
very
sick
person
in
police
finance.
Right
now,
mr
intermel.
G
I
I
hope
that
budgets
are
never
angry
times
for
any
of
us.
So
just
to
to
be
very
clear,
my
my
comments
are
are
wholly
with
respect,
respect
to
source
and
the
specificity
and
have
nothing
to
do
with
weighing
in
on
the
merits
or
demerits
of
the
item
in
whole.
I
think
just
to
to
respond
to
council
member
cunningham.
G
It's
true
that
the
the
city
council
appropriates
money
at
the
fund
and
department
level.
The
the
city
council
also
takes
great
care,
as
does
the
mayor
in
proposing
a
budget
in
articulating
direction
for
how
those
dollars
are
going
to
be
spent,
and
that's
done
through
our
our
600
plus
page
budget
document.
G
I
think
there
there's
a
social
contract
at
play,
and
that
is
you
know,
departments
read
that
budget
book.
They
take
that
direction
and,
yes,
they
do
have
the
authority
to
deviate
from
it
if,
if
they
see
fit
and
if
changing
conditions
necessitate
it,
but
that
social
contract
says
they
really
do
need
to
stay
in
alignment
with
the
direction
that
council's
given
or
that
the
the
council
can
redirect
it.
Because
the
council
has
the
power
of
the
purse,
they
have.
G
The
authority
to
appropriate
the
dollars
and
they
have
the
authority
to
to
approve
or
disapprove
of
a
nomination
of
a
department
head
if
they
were
to
totally
throw
out
a
the
direction
that
was
given
through
the
budget
document.
And
so
again
I
I
do
point
back
to
the
the
initial
comments.
I
made
that
particularly
given
that
we
are
mid-year.
G
L
Thank
you,
tripp
homisano,
and
you
know.
I
appreciate
that
explanation
and
I
I
think
it's
you
know
particularly
clear,
given
the
pretty
profound
changes
that
we've
seen
announced
in
departmental
allocations
through
the
press
without
any
consultation
with
council,
which
is
fine
and
we're
clear
about
the
the
way
that
the
charter
allocates
the
police
department's
reporting
structure.
L
It
is
just
kind
of
clear
that
the
stakes
feel
fairly
low
about
picking
the
right
program
for
this
to
come
from,
because
it
is
very
clear
that
that
chief
redondo
has
the
power
to
reallocate
funds,
and
so,
if
council,
member
gordon
almost
picked
a
program
at
random
or
or
picked
a
program
that
he
thought
made
sense,
you
know
it
feels
like
we
could
pass
this
and
not
be
imperiling
any
financial
process
within
the
minneapolis
police
department.
L
B
Thank
you.
I
appreciate
that
feedback.
I
I
do
want
to
add
in
about
the
idea
of
of
discipline.
This
is
not
discipline
for
discipline's
sake.
The
mayor
in
his
proposed
revisions
has
to
be
specific
in
his
revisions
to
the
budget,
and
I
simply
ask
that
we
do
the
same
when
we're
in
this
kind
of
a
setup.
This
isn't
like
an
annual
budget
process
where
a
fairly
small
amount
of
money
like
this
gets,
you
know,
can
be
spread
out
over
a
very
long
period
of
time.
B
It
makes
me
uncomfortable
in
a
lot
of
ways,
one
of
them
being
that
there
are
further
amendments
coming
forward
after
this,
and
I
don't
know
how
much
time
people
have
had
a
chance
to
look
at
that
packet
this
morning
and
evidently
there's
a
lot
of
amendments,
two
more
by
council
member
gordon,
that
will
change
the
funding
pool
for
some
of
his
proposed
changes,
and
what
is
the
total
amount
of
money
today
that
we're
proposing
to
take
out
of
the
police
department
budget?
B
B
I
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
appreciate
the
discussion
and
I
I
do
think
that
what
my
colleagues
are
saying
is
is
well
taken
in
an
accurate
representation
of
how
budgeting
works.
I
think
our
finance
department
is
trying
to
continue
to
better
align
department
work
with
policymaker
priorities,
so
in
the
feedback
that
we've
received
from
dr
intermil,
I
take
it
as
a
sort
of
support
for
improving
our
financing
and
budget
processes
so
that
they
are
more
transparent,
more
detailed
and
more
in
alignment
with
with
policymaker
priorities.
I
So
I
think
we
do
have
a
long
way
to
go
in
achieving
those
goals
and
even
in
particular,
even
in
getting
information
about
how
departments
are
spending
funds
so
especially
in
the
very
large
departments
that
have
a
lot
of
sort
of
very
big
buckets
of
funding.
So
as
we
move
forward
with
economic
uncertainty
and
likely
need
to
cut
in
in
future
budgets,
I
think
that
that
transparency
in
that
level
of
detail
is
going
to
become
more
and
more
important.
I
mean
it
should
have
always
you
know.
I
We
should
have
always
have
this
information
in
my
opinion,
but
I
I
appreciate
the
efforts
of
finance
in
in
working
toward
that
transparency
in
that
level
detail
not
specificity
from
departments.
So
I
think
both
things
are
true
right
now
and
I
think
dr
intermel
is
trying
to
hold
all
of
the
departments
to
that
standard.
You
know
the
reporting
structures
are
different,
as
my
colleagues
have
mentioned,
and
I
certainly
everything
that
council
members
have
said
about
the
current
practices
are:
are
accurate,
so
yeah.
B
Thank
you
not
seeing
anybody
else
in
queue.
I
would
say
that,
yes,
our
our
budget
office
does
ask
that
we
would
it
did
suggest
or
recommend
that
we
would
wait
on
something
like
this
to
give
it
the
same
amount
of
specificity
as
other
amendments,
but
council,
member
gordon.
This
is
your
motion,
not
mine,
and
I
will
invite
you
to
decide
to
wait
on
that
change
or
whether
you
would
like
to
take
a
roll
call
vote
on
this
now.
H
I
will
move
this
forward
and
you
everybody
heard
what
I
said
already
and
I'm
worried,
willing
and
able
to
work
on
more
details
going
forward.
But
I'd
like
to
move
this
and
I'm
happy
to
move
the
next
two
forward
as
well.
B
C
K
D
M
C
M
B
Thank
you
very
much
we're
going
to
go
to
the
second
amendment.
I
should
ask
mr
intermil:
do
you
have
the
second
amendment
in
front
of
you
the
amended
version
of
it
to
read,
or
should
we
ask
council,
member
gordon.
G
G
If
I
can
make
a
change
on
the
fly,
if
that's
allowable
for
the
clerk,
I
believe
to
make
this
conform
with
the
edits
down
below,
that
should
be
for
the
health
and
police
departments
increasing
the
appropriation
in
the
general
fund
for
the
health
department
by
twenty
five
thousand
dollars,
one
time
for
the
healthy
living
and
low
income
housing
change
item,
reducing
the
appropriation
in
the
police
department
by
twenty
five
thousand
dollars.
One
time
source
unspecified.
B
Thank
you
I'll
call
on
the
council
member
council,
member
gordon.
If
you
have
any
initial
comments.
H
Yes,
and
thank
you
very
much
for
correcting
that
department,
I
think
that
we
didn't
strike
that
and
have
that
new
language
in
there.
So
this
is
actually
revising
the
budget
in
the
general
fund
for
the
health
and
police
departments,
and
I
will
move
this
item
forward
for
approval.
Madam
chair.
B
M
B
G
Thank
you,
madam
chair
and
members.
The
third
amendment
is
a
motion
by
council
member
gordon
amending
the
2020
mayor's
recommended
revised
budget
in
the
general
fund
for
the
health
and
police
departments,
increasing
the
appropriation
in
the
general
fund
for
the
health
department
by
thirty
thousand
dollars,
one
time
for
the
youth
coordinating
board
part-time
youth
workers
in
cedar
riverside
change
item,
reducing
the
appropriation
in
the
general
fund
for
the
police
department
by
thirty
thousand
dollars.
One
time.
G
Madam
chair,
if
I
may
note
this,
the
amendment
that
is
in
the
packet
does
need
some
cleanup
work
as
it's
written.
The
reduction
to
the
police
department
does
not
specify
the
fund.
I
added
it
verbally
in
in
my
reading.
G
Madam
chair,
no,
it
is
not
the
the
final
sentence:
has
the
the
fund
source
stricken
from
it,
so
it
the
final
sentence
should
read:
reducing
the
appropriation
in
the
general
funds
for
the
police
department
by
thirty
thousand
dollars,
one
time
and
madam
chair
in
that
I
am
making
some
assumptions
about
the
the
author's
intent,
and
so
it
would
be
good
to
confirm
with
him
that
my
assumptions
are
correct.
H
Those
assumptions
are
correct
and
I'm
sorry
in
the
amendments
as
we
were
sending
them
through,
that
we
didn't
get
all
the
details.
H
B
So
just
to
clarify
council
member
gordon
does
this
come
from
the
same
general
non-specifically
designated
part
of
the
police
department
for
the
police
department
themselves
to
figure
out.
H
Yeah,
but
we
have
to
have
the
words
in
the
general
fund
for
the
minneapolis
or
for
the
police
department
and
mistakenly
and
also
in
the
first
line.
It
has
to
clarify
that
it's
revising
the
budgets
for
the
health
and
minneapolis
police
departments.
B
I'm
not
seeing
any.
I
will
just
add
that
again,
my
interest
is
not
in
making
a
cut
to
this
part-time
youth
workers
in
cedar
riverside
group,
but
my
objection
here
is
truly
on
our
specificity
and
knowing
what
we
are
taking
out
is
a
different
choice,
so
that
we
can
make
any
type
of
known
or
thoughtful
decision
here
as
to
what
the
trade-offs
are.
So
with
that,
I
will
ask
the
clerk
to
call
the
roll.
H
C
D
I
C
B
You
amendment
number
four.
I
will
ask
director
intermil
to
introduce
amendment
number
four,
which
is
another
one
from
council
member
gordon.
I
think
this
is
the
one
that
is
in
people's
meeting
packets
director.
G
The
amendment
number
four
is
a
motion
by
council
member
gordon
amending
the
2020
mayor's
recommended
revised
budget
in
the
general
fund
for
community
planning
and
economic
development,
increasing
the
appropriation
in
the
general
fund
for
the
community
planning
and
economic
development
department
by
fifty
thousand
dollars,
one
time
for
the
cooperative
technical
assistance
program,
change
item,
reducing
the
appropriation
in
the
general
fund
for
the
community
planning
and
economic
development
department
by
fifty
thousand
dollars.
One
time
this
reduction
shall
come
from
funds
appropriated
for
executive
administration.
H
Thank
you
very
much.
I
appreciate
that
and
I
just
want
to
notice
how
the
great
work
I
did
in
identifying
an
actual
fund
from
the
cpa
department.
So
this
is
coming
from
the
executive
administration
fund.
H
There
were
a
few
funds
in
cped
that
seemed
to
be
pretty
substantial
and
I
conferred
with
the
interim
director
and
determined
to
take
fifty
thousand
dollars
from
the
executive
administration
fund
which,
prior
to
this
was
at
one
million
four
hundred
and
sixty
seven
000,
and
this
will
just
be
going
back
to
follow
through
with
the
commitment
we
made
in
last
year's
budget
to
support
the
technical
assistance
program
in
the
economic
development
division
for
cooperative
technical
assistance.
H
B
Thank
you
councilmember.
I
believe
this
is
actually
something
we
know
of,
as
is
a
different
name.
Is
this
af?
Actually,
the
africa
village,
one
not
ctap.
H
No,
this
is
ctap
cooperative,
technical
assistance
program
it
potentially
some
services
could
have
been
provided
from
other
entities.
So
this
is
our
business
technical
assistance
program
where
we
help
businesses
on
an
individual
basis
moving
forward.
So
it's
it's
part
of
the
larger
btap
program
that
we
call
it,
which
is
business
technical
assistance
program.
We
also
have
a
dtap
which
is
developer
technical
assistance
program
for
somebody
who
wants
to
be
in
the
business
of
developing
properties.
H
So
this
is
within
the
department,
but
some
of
the
money
does
get
transferred
out
through
contracts.
I
don't
think
village
trust
ever
got
a
contract,
but
I
could
be
wrong.
B
G
Madam
chair,
thank
you
so
this
this
item
is
listed
on
pages
362
and
363
of
the
2020
council
adopted
budget
book
and
I'll.
Just
briefly
read
the
proposal
details.
It
says
the
council
approves
50
000
in
one-time
general
funds
to
be
deployed,
specifically
in
conjunction
with
a
cooperative
public
market
for
the
africa
village
project
in
the
cedar.
G
Riverside
neighborhood
and
my
memory
from
last
year's
markup
is
that
this
was
originally
a
change
item,
titled
africa,
village
and
after
some
discussion
at
the
dais,
I
I
believe
it
was
council
member
kano
who
recommended
re-titling
it
cooperative
technical
assistance
program,
because
the
subject
matter
is
very
similar
to
services
provided
under
that
under
that
program
in
cpen.
J
Yes,
thank
you,
madam
chair
and
and
after
that
information
from
mr
intramural.
I
I
I'm
even
more
confused.
I
I
thought
this.
I
was
going
to
speak
in
support
of
this,
because
the
cooperative
technical
assistance
program,
which
does
help
businesses
but
also
helps
communities
to
develop
co-ops,
which
I
think
is
going
to
be.
J
B
H
This
was
for
the
ctap
program,
generally
speaking,
I'm
perhaps
some
we
might
want
to.
If
it
seems
like
by
having
the
word
change
item
in
there,
we've
created
a
problem.
I
will
move
to
table
this
item
till
our
next
meeting.
B
Okay,
so
you're
going
to
withdraw
your
initial
motion
and
instead
or
rather
might
need
some
help
from
the
clerk
here.
I
think
there.
Let
me
just
kind
of
level
set.
I
think,
there's
a
lot
of
concerns
about
this.
One
is
the
intention
of
refilling
it
and
the
other
is
the
source
that
we
didn't
get
to,
but
in
these
last
minute,
changes
in
my
understanding
from
the
interim
seed
director
is
that
this
would
be
a
change
that
would
result
in
staff,
layoffs
and
furloughs.
B
These
are
the
impacts
when
we
say
general
reductions
from
departments
that
the
interim
c
ped
director
had
an
opportunity
to
think
through
and
consider,
and
that
is
where
she
said
it
would
be
coming
from.
So
at
this
point
in
time,
I'm
just
going
to
go
with
what
the
author
said
to
table
this
and
then
council
member
is
your
intent
to
count
to
table
it
and
to
do
some
additional
work
on
it
and
maybe
bring
it
back
next
week.
H
Yeah
and
if
I
don't
have
to
take
a
vote
on
withdrawing
up,
I
could
withdraw
on
it
to
to
do
that
work.
Now.
I
was
not.
It
had
a
privy
to
any
discussions
that
mentioned
any
kind
of
layoffs.
B
I'm
gonna
ask
mr
taylor
to
weigh
in
on
that.
Do
we
need
to
take
a
vote
to
table
this
or
with
the
author's
intentions
can
we
just
remove
it.
B
Got
it
okay,
thank
you.
Let's
withdraw
that
one
for
now
and
go
to
council
member
gordon's
amendment
number
five:
is
this
council
member
gordon
the
same
one
that
we
have
in
our
packets.
H
Yes,
it
is,
this
is
the
same
one.
It's
amending
the
2020
mayor's
recommended
revised
budget
in
the
general
fund
for
community
planning
and
economic
development,
increasing
the
appropriation
in
the
general
fund
for
the
department
by
75
000,
one
time
for
the
payday
lending
change
item
and
reducing
the
appropriation
of
the
general
fund
for
the
community
planning
economic
development
department
by
75
000.
One
time
this
reduction
shall
come
from
funds
appropriated
for
the
director
of
housing
and
policy
development.
B
Yeah
so
we
typically
have
we've
had
the
budget
director
read
them
and
then
the
author
speak
to
them.
So
I'm
just
going
to
consider
that
we've
read
it
out
loud
and
go
ahead
now
and
speak
with
it.
H
Yes,
I
feel,
like
you've,
been
so
generous
with
my
five
emotions
and
appreciate
that
my
colleagues,
this
is
my
last
one
yeah,
and
this
was
another
funding
source
that
was
helped
me
get
to
working
with
finance
and
the
interim
director.
This
would
be
coming
from
the
director's
fund
which,
prior
to
this,
had
3
million
893
000
left
in
it.
H
B
N
I'm
eric
hanson,
the
director
of
economic
policy
and
development,
and
the
motion
in
front
of
you
is
for
a
pilot
program
to
refinance
high-risk
loans.
Individual
high-risk
loans
that
have
come
out
originated
from
from
what
we
call
payday
lending,
which
is
pledging
your
future
income
for
high
interest
cash.
Today,
we've
worked
with
councilmember
gordon
earlier
this
year
about
issuing
an
rfp
sometime
in
the
future.
N
D
B
You
yes,
but
then
could
I
ask
andrea
brennan
to
please
speak
to
the
source
of
the
trade-off
here
as
to
what
we
will
to
to
backfill
it
director
brennan.
M
Hi,
yes,
madam
chair,
thank
you.
I'm
andrea,
brennan
interim
cpad
director,
the
the
director
of
housing
policy
and
development
budget
is.
It
includes
it's
a
very
large
budget
item
it
had.
I
think
the
total
is
over
three
million
dollars.
However,
it
does
include
the
3
million
dollars
for
stable
home.
Stable
schools
includes
funding
that
is
dedicated
to
contracts
for
homeless
response.
M
So
the
only
discretionary
funds
in
that
budget
is
for
staff
costs
the
same
as
the
previous
item.
So
to
the
extent
you
know
there
could
be
savings
from
vacancies
there.
There
may
be
some
ability
to
absorb
this,
but
if
the
only
discretionary
well,
it's
non-discretionary
it's
staffing
costs,
so
it
would
just
it
could
have
impacts
throughout
in
other
areas
of
the
department
related
to
the
need
to
reduce
staffing
costs
in
other
areas,
to
the
extent
that
these
two
budgets
do
not
have
sufficient
funds
to
absorb
this
cut.
M
B
I
will
say
that
we've
had
a
lot
of
discussion
in
the
initial
conversations
with
the
mayor
and
council
president
and
council
vice
president,
and
I
about
the
strategy
here
and
to
balance
the
need
to
be
strategic
about
things
that
will
be
longer
term
kinds
of
austere
budgets
ahead
with
doing
things
like
laying
off
staff
in
because
we
would
need
to
make
up
that
much
money
in
just
five
short
months
of
the
year
or
what
furloughs
would
accomplish
in
something
like
this.
B
D
C
F
C
J
C
A
C
M
B
You
that
amendment
is
adopted
next,
we
will
move
on
to
two
amendments
proposed
by
the
council
president,
I'm
gonna
ask
director
intermil
to
read
the
motion
and
then
ask
the
author
to
speak
to
it.
Director
interval.
G
Thank
you,
madam
chair
amendment.
Number
six
is
a
motion
by
council
president
bender
staff
and
community
planning
and
economic
development
and
finance
are
directed
to
work
proactively
with
non-profit
and
community
partners
to
identify
and
respond
to
opportunities
to
preserve,
naturally
occurring
affordable,
housing
or
noaa
to
support
the
long-term
housing
stability
of
city
residents.
B
I
Thank
you,
madam
chair
and
I'll
note.
Actually
I
just
sent
an
amendment,
a
small
change
to
my
second
number,
seven
item,
which
is
in
everyone's
inbox,
so
that
was
a
little
delay
just
now.
So
you
know,
I
think
this
staff
direction
essentially
in
the
budget
process,
reflects
our
shared
understanding
of
strategies
around
housing
preservation,
but
I
did
just
want
to
speak
to
it
and
why
I
think
it
is
meaningful
that
we
take
this
action,
so
I
think
all
of
you
know,
but
for
the
public
and
others,
you
know.
I
For
the
last
number
of
years
we've
been
pursuing
the
strategy
of
preserving
naturally
occurring,
affordable
housing.
So
those
are
the
housing
options
in
our
community
that
are
already
affordable
for
folks
at
certain
levels
of
income
and
it
you
know
it's
a
challenging
strategy
in
part
because
we're
relying
on
our
ability
as
a
government
to
compete
in
the
market
with
for-profit
buyers.
I
But
it
is
also
a
very
effective
strategy
and
a
good
way
to
use
dollars.
Because
often
the
the
cost
per
unit
of
these
affordable
housing
nationally
occurring
affordable
units
is
a
really
good
deal
for
for
us
and
for
the
people
that
we're
working
to
serve.
I
I
And
partly
I
want
to
do
this
just
to
honor
that
we've
asked
our
staff
to
do
a
lot
of
different
things,
and
particularly
in
the
housing
group,
and
so
I
don't
think
it
is
a
small
thing
to
ask
the
staff
to
continue
to
prioritize
this
work,
but
just
wanted
to
be
clear
that
that
it
is
a
priority
for
the
council
and
to
acknowledge
that
there's
a
you
know
on
an
unpredictability
to
when
the
funds
may
be
needed.
I
So
thanks
for
everyone,
who's
worked
on
this
for
a
number
of
years
and
I'll
leave
it
at
that.
F
Goodman,
thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
I
I
want
to
echo
what
council
president
bender
said,
but
also
note
that
within
the
affordable
housing
trust
fund,
we
also
prioritize
stabilization
and
even
though
we
call
it
stabilization,
it's
essentially
noah.
It
is
basically
taking
buildings
that
potentially
could
be
marked
up
to
market
rate
and
or
buildings
that
are
for
sale
and
working
with
our
non-profit
and
for-profit
partners
to
stabilize
them,
and
that
is
naturally
occurring,
affordable
housing.
So
I
think
we
do
actually
address
this
in
multiple
places
within
the
city.
F
It's
just
called
something
different,
and
so
I
think
it
is
important
that
we
note
that
stabilization
and
preserving
naturally
occurring
affordable
housing
are
essentially
the
same
thing.
I
think
the
difference
would
be
new
construction
versus
stabilizing
existing
construction,
and
I
see
the
council
president
shaking
her
head
because
she
knows
that
to
be
true
and
we
can
use
affordable
housing
trust
fund
money
also
on
a
per
unit
basis
to
stabilize
affordable
housing
in
the
city,
which
is
also
naturally
occurring
affordable.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you.
I
just
want
to
echo
the
comments
of
the
council
president
and
council
member
goodman.
I
want
to
thank
the
council
president
for
bringing
this
forward.
It's
it's
actually
critical
that
this
comes
forward
now.
One
thing
that's
that's
happening
is
the
the
governor's
moratorium
on
rent
and
mortgages
are,
is
still
being
upheld,
but
rich's,
rent
and
mortgages
are
eventually
going
to
become
due,
and
the
ones
that
are
most
vulnerable
are
going
to
be
these
no
developments.
A
B
J
M
B
Thank
you
that
amendment
is
adopted
next,
we
have
council
president
bender's
second
amendment.
She
did
just
mention
that
she
made
some
brief
small
changes
in
it
and
that
they
are
in
our
emails.
It
doesn't
look
like.
Oh,
I
just
had
it
wrong,
looks
like
we've
all
seen
it
it
does.
The
budget
director
have
this
one
council
president.
If
so,
I'm
going
to
just
have
him
read
it
for
consistency's
sake,.
B
G
Go
ahead,
madam
chair
amendment,
number
seven
is
a
motion
by
council
president
bender
amending
the
2020
mayor's
recommended
revised
budget
in
the
general
fund
for
the
fire,
health
and
city
coordinator
departments,
increasing
the
appropriation
in
the
general
fund
for
the
fire
department
by
sixty
two
thousand
two
hundred
and
fifty
dollars,
one
time
for
training
and
education,
increasing
the
appropriation
in
the
general
fund
for
the
health
department
by
seven
thousand
seven
hundred
and
fifty
dollars,
one
time
for
solar,
green
energy
and
youth
development
in
the
environmental
health
unit,
reducing
the
appropriation
in
the
general
fund
for
the
sustainability
unit
in
the
city
coordinator
department
by
seventy
thousand
dollars.
I
Yes,
thank
you,
madam
chair,
so
I
asked,
through
the
clerk's
office,
all
departments,
to
send
us
a
summary
of
the
cuts
that
they
made
as
a
result
of
the
15
contractual
cut
across
the
board
that
we
made
during
phase
one
of
the
cuts,
and
I
want
to
say
that
they
were
very
detailed
and
very
thoughtful,
and
I
really
appreciate
the
staff
time
that
went
into
them.
So
thank
you
to
all
the
staff
that
participated
in
that
as
council.
I
Vice
president
jenkins
reminds
us
everything
that
the
city
does
should
be
done
from
the
lens
of
race,
equity,
and
so
when
we
made
these
15
across-the-board
cuts,
it
was
important
to
ask
these
questions
of
how
is
the?
How
are
these
cuts
affecting
our
race
equity
commitments
and
ask
each
department
to
within
those
cuts
they
were
asked
to
make
to
prioritize
race,
equity,
and
so
I've
gone
through
and
read
them
all.
I
I
would
encourage
everyone
to
do
so
as
well,
and
there
were
a
couple
of
things
that
I
still
need
to
follow
up
on
with
some
of
the
department
staff
that
we're
not
ready
for
today,
but
this
one,
with
apologies
for
the
very
last,
a
minute
item
that
I
just
changed.
So
this
would
be
using
a
source
of
funds
that,
unfortunately,
because
of
the
covid
pandemic,
we
are
not
able
to
spend
on
a
priority
for
the
city,
which
is
supporting
sustainability
through
home
and
home
energy
audits.
I
I
So
these
go
to
programs
in
the
fire
and
health
department.
The
health
department's
programs
were
actually
based
on
the
fire
department's
programs
and
so
they're,
really
in
sync,
with
each
other
and
I've
communicated
with
health
department
and
with
chief
friedel
about
them,
as
well
as
finance
in
the
coordinator's
office.
I
So
the
fire
department
program
is
a
career
pathway
program
that
has
served
to
diversify
our
fire
department
and
to
do
some
planning,
because
so
many
of
the
calls
that
our
fire
department
receives
our
health
calls.
So
it's
really
investing
in
that
expertise,
specific
to
emergency
medical
services
and
then
the
other
item.
The
smaller
one
in
the
health
department
is
for
two
programs
that
are
specific
to
jobs,
training
and
youth
development,
but
they're
also
from
a
lens
of
of
a
green
jobs
perspective.
B
J
C
C
I
C
B
Thank
you.
This
amendment
is
adopted.
Next,
we
will
move
on
to
council
member
kano's
amendments.
We'll
start
with
amendment
number
eight
and
I
believe
council
remember
kano,
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
this
is
the
same
as
the
one
that
are
in
everybody's
agenda.
Packets
that
are
in
front
of
them.
Is
that
correct.
D
G
Thank
you,
madam
chair
amendment.
Number
eight
is
a
motion
by
councilmember
cano
amending
the
2020
mayor's
recommended
revised
budget
in
the
general
fund
for
the
health
and
city
coordinator
departments,
increasing
the
appropriation
in
the
general
fund
for
the
health
department
by
sixty
thousand
dollars,
one
time
for
the
office
of
violence
prevention
to
support
city-wide
safety
beyond.
G
Increasing
the
appropriation
in
the
general
fund
for
the
health
department
by
sixty
thousand
dollars,
one
time
for
the
office
of
violence
prevention
to
support
city-wide
safety
beyond
policing,
strategies
that
meet
our
city's
racial
equity
goals,
reducing
the
appropriation
in
the
general
fund
for
the
city
coordinator
department
on
a
one-time
basis
by
sixty
thousand
dollars.
This
reduction
shall
come
from
monies
previously
budgeted
for
kajug.
O
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
so
the
intent
of
this
motion
is
basically
to
align
all
of
the
work
that
we're
trying
to
do
around
safety
and
reducing
some
of
the
crime
that
we're
seeing
in
our
communities
and
empowering
those
grassroots
efforts
to
really
be
supported
and
and
have
that
systems-wide
implementation.
O
That
residents
are
now
asking
for.
So
really
this
is
a
sort
of
a
neutral.
O
I
guess
budget
move
it's
it's
not
really
causing
a
hole
anywhere
per
se,
we're
simply
aligning
the
resources
under
its
proper
home,
which
would
be
the
office
of
violence
prevention
and
allowing
the
experts
under
that
umbrella
to
really
operationalize
these
funds
in
a
way
that
meet
our
city's
racial
equity
goals
that
are
now,
you
know,
hopefully
impacting
our
city
and,
specifically,
you
know
some
of
the
cultural
communities
that
we
know
are
being
hit
the
hardest
by
this
transition
in
in
our
current
policing
system.
B
Thank
you.
Councilmember
kano
has
moved
this
amendment
council,
member.
F
B
F
Councilmember
cano
does
this
take
money
away
from
kajug,
though
I
mean
it's
butterjet
neutral
and
that
it's
is
it
still
giving
them
the
money
but
taking
having
it
out
of
the
office
of
violence
prevention
because
it
might
not
be
seen
as
budget
neutral
to
them?
So
I'm
just
wondering
if
you
talk
to
anyone
at
kajug
or
if
we're
actually
reducing
their
budget
by
60
000.
B
I'm
gonna
ask
the
budget
direct
director
what
his
understanding
is,
because
that's
of
course,
where
the
money
gets
drawn
from
it,
is
coming
through
the
budget
office
director
intramil.
Is
it
true
that,
if
to
put
this
toward
the
intended
function,
as
council
member
kano
describes
it,
would
there
be
any
monies
left
for
kajug.
G
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
My
understanding
is
that
these
these
are
the
only
monies
budgeted
in
the
city
for
kajug.
Originally,
the
amount
was
eighty
thousand
dollars
in
the
mayor's
revised
recommendation.
He
recommends
reducing
that
by
twenty
thousand
dollars,
and
this
would
be
the
the
remaining
sixty
thousand
dollars
available
for
kajug.
G
B
P
Madam
chair
members
of
the
council
mark
rough
city
coordinator.
I
I
don't
know
that
I
can
clear
up
any
more.
I
think
if
there
are
specific
questions,
we'd
be
better
off
responding
to
those
specific
questions
at
a
later
date,
just
because
this
is
a
still
a
newer
program
for
the
coordinator's
office
and
just
with
the
covet
19
has
had
some
impact
on
this
particular
contract
as
well.
B
K
Yes-
and
I
so
that
so
thank
you,
madam
chair,
so
what
I
said
in
the
chat
is:
if
it
were
to
go
to
the
office
of
violence
prevention,
it
would
likely
be
folded
into
the
office
of
the
violence
prevention
fund.
That
has
an
rfp
process
in
which
could
you
could
participate
in,
but
that
is
my
assumption,
based
on
the
infrastructure
of
the
office
of
violence,
prevention
and
money
being
folded
into
it.
K
So
because,
from
the
way
that
I'm
reading
it,
it's
not
like
the
contract
would
directly
go
from
to
go
from
a
direct
contract
to
a
direct
contract
just
under
the
office
of
violence
prevention.
So
I
actually
wanted
to
be
able
to
get
clarification
from
council
member
kano
around
it
are
we
are
we
looking
to
do
a
direct
appropriation
still
to
kajub,
or
is
the
idea
that
the
that
this
money
would
be
allocated
into
the
office
of
violence
prevention
fund?
K
That
then
could
you
could
apply
for,
like
everyone,
all
the
other
organizations
who
are
seeking
funds
from
that
from
that
pot
of
money?
So
if
you
just
get
some
clarification
about
what
the
intention
is
once
it
lives
in
the
office
of
violence
prevention,
that
would
be
helpful.
O
Correct
it's
it's
in
line
with
what
you
just
mentioned:
councilmember
cunningham,
and
it's
in
line
with
what
many
other
council
members
have
stated
earlier
in
this
meeting-
is
that
the
the
notion
is
to
be
able
to
rectify
an
action
that
we
took
earlier,
where
there
was
no
transparency
and
how
a
specific
group
group
was
selected
for
a
budget
allocation.
There
was
no
rfp
process,
there
was
no
metrics
or
goals
assigned
to
it,
and
it
was
placed
in
a
department
that
I
think
doesn't
have
the
expertise
to
manage
a
grant
like
this.
O
The
office
of
violence
prevention
does
so.
I
think
it
is
to
bring
transparency
to
our
process
of
how
we
award
funds,
how
we
keep
track
of
them,
how
we
support
those
grantees
to
deliver
on
results
and
on
on
goals.
B
Council,
member
cunningham,
you
wanted
to
follow
up.
K
Yes,
thank
you,
so
this
cuts
is
the.
The
reason
why
I
have
a
bit
of
a
concern
around
this
cut
is
that
the
clients
and
those
who
benefit
from
cajun
are
not
at
fault,
for
whatever
political
maneuvering
had
happened,
and
this
is
cutting
into
their
annual
budget
for
this
year.
So
that
is
a
a
bit
of
a
concern
that
I
have,
because
also
our
office
of
violence
prevention
fund
has
all
that
money
has
already
been
allocated.
K
That
program
has
already
been
completed
for
this
year
and
the
money
that's
going
out
now
is
in
response
to
the
increase
in
in
violence,
and
so
so
I
I
guess
I
just
have
concerns
that
we're
moving
the
money-
and
I
understand-
and
I
agree
I
just
want
to
be
clear-
like
that
this
this
money
has
there
was
a
lack
of
transparency.
K
I
I
spoke
of
the
issue
as
well
last
year
when
this,
when
this
issue
was
brought
up,
my
concern
around
it.
I
guess
I
I
just
I
have
concerns
of
hurting
an
organization
and
the
folks
that
they
that
they
serve
because
of
the
fact
that
there
was
political
maneuvering
that
happened
by
leaders,
and
this
is
cutting
into
their
budget
for
this
year.
If
we
were
moving
it
moving
forward.
K
As
of
like
the
2021
budget
that
I
would
feel
a
little
bit
more
comfortable
with
that,
but
I
think
I
would
I
just
have.
I
just
have
concerns
with
having
calling
unintended
harm
to
the
to
the
cedar
riverside
community
as
a
result
of
this
and
not
having
a
council
member
for
that
word,
makes
it
a
little
bit
more
challenging
to
be
able
to
understand
the
nuance
of
the
immediate
consequences
of
moving
these
dollars.
So
thank.
J
Yes,
thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
I
would
just
express
my
concerns
too.
In
that
you
know
the
intent
of
the
office
of
violence
prevention
is
to
help
organizations
that
are
on
the
ground,
working
with
marginalized
communities
to
to
create
crime,
prevention
and
safety
in
our
communities.
J
The
work
of
cajuk
has
been
doing
that
for
many
years,
so
the
the
goal
of
this
grant
is
absolutely
in
line
with
the
office
of
violence
prevention.
J
It
really
seems
unfair
to
me
to
have
to
to
now
for
them
to
have
to
to
go
into
a
a
pool
which
would
only
consist
of
their
the
funds
that
had
been
allocated
to
them
and
and
put
that
into
a
competitive
process
with
other
groups
that,
albeit
are
very
much
needed
and
and
needy
for
these
resources
but
yeah.
I
I'm
not
sure
if
I
can
support
this
today,.
B
B
There
are
other
parts
of
our
city
with
sizable
east
african
communities
that
don't
feel
served
by
this,
and
I
don't
know
it.
This
original
appropriation
was
80
000
and
I
don't
know
if
the
reason
why
this
amendment
is
60
is
because
that
first
20
000
was
used
or
or
if
there
are
like
invoices
coming
for
reimbursement
for
existing
work.
B
I
might
ask
if,
if
the
author
wants
to
at
this
point
in
time,
table
this
for
now
and
bring
it
back
next
week
with
more
information
from
the
coordinator's
office
or
if
you
would
like
to
proceed
with
this
now
and
see,
if
there's
support
for
your
motion,
as
is.
O
Oh,
thank
you,
madam
chair.
So
since
the
city
coordinator
is
here,
I'd
be
curious
to
hear
so
how
much
of
the
grant
has
already
been
issued
or
encumbered,
and
what
are
the
goals
that
have
been
produced
from
the
resources
that
have
already
been
distributed?.
B
P
Sure,
madam
chair
councilmember
kano,
as
of
this
time,
we
have
been
in
conversations
with
the
organization
because
we
knew
there
would
be
budget
adjustments.
We
put
them
on
notice
that
their
program
could
be
subject
to
some
of
these
adjustments,
just
as
we
did
for
all
other
organizations
that
were
in
similar
circumstances.
P
You
know
it
is
fair
summary
to
say
that
they
are
expecting
money,
but
at
this
point
in
time
we
haven't
obligated
any
money
and
so
technically
do
we
owe
them
funds
at
this
point
in
time,
according
to
a
contractual
agreement.
No,
but
is
there
an
expectation
that
has
been
described
previously?
Yes,
I
would
say
there
is
an
expectation.
They
are
based
out
of
cedar
riverside
to
answer
councilman
riccano's
question
in
the
chat
as
well.
O
Thank
you
for
the
clarification
so
just
to
just
to
be
sure,
then
so
the
the
funding
was
there,
but
it
hasn't
been
issued
and
a
contract
hasn't
been
signed.
Correct.
O
I
mean
I,
I
understand
what
some
folks
are
saying
regarding:
let's
not
do
harm,
but
I
I
don't
think
that
we're
helping
by
protecting
or
rewarding
government's
bad
behavior.
On
this
I
mean
we
we
messed
up,
and
I
think
we
have
to
rectify
that
and
I
guess,
like
I,
just
feel
really
strongly
about
having
some
transparency,
fairness
and
justice
in
this
particular
budget
allocation.
Otherwise
I
wouldn't
bring
it
up.
I
don't
see
the
rest
of
us
doing
this
kind
of
thing
and
we
don't
do
it
for
a
reason.
O
So
I
think
it's
important
for
us
to
like
learn
our
lesson,
but
also
to
like
rectify
the
record
and
not
allow
government
to
make
mistakes
like
this.
I
think
it's
a
bad
precedent.
I
think
it
opens
up
patterns
for
more
people
to
do
that,
and
I
wouldn't
like
us
to
do
that.
O
I
wouldn't
just
hand
pick
my
favorite
organization,
my
ward,
and
give
them
money
most
of
the
time
people
get
mad
at
me,
because
I
don't
do
that,
because
everything
has
to
be
put
forward
through
an
rfp
process
where
healthy
organizations
have
to
make
their
case
of
how
they
want
to
serve
people
and
how
they're
grounded
in
that
work
and
how
that
collectively,
that
work
is
consented
to
by
a
community
and
a
base.
So
I
would
like
to
move
forward
with
this
amendment.
O
I
understand
that
folks
might
have
additional
concerns
above
and
beyond,
what's
being
presented
here,
but
I
think
we're
actually
doing
doing
right
by
cedar
riverside,
to
rectify
this
record
and
to
say:
hey,
we're
going
to
put
this
money
in
the
right
house,
we're
going
to
put
this
money
in
a
clear
process
that
many
groups
can
have
a
chance
at
instead
of
instead
of
again
doing
sort
of
this.
O
You
know
closed
door
deals
with
specific
groups
where
we
promise
the
money
and
it
just
it
feels
wrong,
and
I
don't
think
it's
right
and
I
think
we
need
to
be
able
to.
You
know
feel
that
our
actions
are
ethical
and
responsible
and
transparent,
and
I
I
don't
think
that
they
were
and-
and
I
think
that
it's
important
just
to
be
able
to
align
those
resources
under
the
professionalism
of
an
enterprise,
that's
responsible
to
serving
multiple
constituencies
and
multiple
groups,
not
just
one.
O
So
I
don't
think
we're
doing
harm
for
a
specific
group.
I
think
we're
actually
helping
empower
a
much
broader
community
around.
How
do
you
submit
a
proposal?
How
do
you
make
the
case?
How
do
you
talk
about
metrics
and
goals
and
outcomes?
And
how
do
you
build
the
base
and
how
can
you
be
held
responsible
to
those
specific
tax
dollars,
because
these
are
people's
tax
dollars
and
I'm
sure
that
there's
a
lot
of
folks
who
don't
agree
with
what
happened
and
they're
not
here
today
to
lobby
us
and
they're?
O
You
know
we're
obviously
in
covet
times,
so
I
I
would
say
that
we
should
look
at
the
bigger
picture
here
that
it's
it's,
it's
not
just
one
specific
group,
but
it's
a
pattern
of
processes
and
decisions
that
I
think
the
city
should
be
held,
responsible
for
and
and
rectify,
and
I
think
that
putting
this
money
in
the
office
of
violence
prevention
is
exactly
where
it
should
have
been
from
the
get-go.
It's
exactly
where
it
should
be
managed
and
overseen.
O
So
I
think
I
think
this
is
actually
a
good
move
and-
and
I
don't
think
we
should
let
ourselves
get
carried
away
with
the
notion
that
somehow
rectifying
the
record
misses
out
on
the
mark.
I
I
think
we're
actually
opening
up
opening
up
the
mark,
opening
up
the
conversation
and
letting
more
people
in
the
door
instead
of
shutting
the
door.
B
And
then
we
will
and
then
I
do
want
to
acknowledge
that
just
in
the
last
five
minutes
there's
been
email
into
all
council
members
from
the
well
from
the
mayor
who's.
Attaching
some
information
from
the
head
of
kajuga.
I
believe
I
haven't
had
a
chance
to
read
it,
but
let
me
see
if
that
is
at
all
useful
in
this
conversation,
but
I
understand
your
intent
is
to
do
a
roll
call
vote
today.
Council,
president
bender.
I
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
so
I'm
pretty
torn
on
this
and
I
imagine
others
feel
the
same
way.
I
completely
agree
with
everything
council
member
cono
has
said
about
transparency
about.
I
You
know,
I
agree,
I
think,
with
the
fact
that
resting
it
there
would
help
us
as
an
enterprise,
be
strategic
about
youth
support
and
violence
prevention
in
the
cedar
riverside
area,
which
I
know
is
a
priority
for
the
office
of
violence
prevention.
You
know,
I
I'm
cognizant
that
it's
we're
in
the
summer
time
where
these
violence
prevention
dollars
are
are
often
really
needed
more
than
other
seasons
of
the
year,
and
so
you
know,
I
think,
with
the
information
that
I
have
right
now.
I
I'm
not
sure
I
can
support
this,
because
I
I
don't
know
exactly
how
ready
ovp
would
be
to
to
distribute
or
spend
these
funds,
and
I
feel
like
I
need
more
information
from
the
office
of
violence
prevention,
about
their
approach
to
the
cedar,
riverside
area
and
how
that
would
all
work.
But
I
do
agree
100
with
with
the
intention
of
this
amendment
and,
and
you
know
likely,
could
support
it
with
just
a
little
bit
more
information.
So.
B
Thank
you
I'll
call
on
the
author
council
member
kano
again
and
then
I
will
yield
the
floor
to
the
mayor
briefly,
council
member
connell.
O
O
This
is
already
almost
like
summer
coming
to
a
close,
so
I
I
do
have
questions
about
whether
or
not
the
city
coordinator's
office
would
be
able
to
issue
the
resources
now
and
and
what
that
contract
and
those
metrics
and
those
outcomes
would
would
result
in
or
what
they
how
they
would
be
codified
and
who's
codifying
them,
because
the
budget
allocation
that
we
voted
on
in
the
last
cycle
was
pretty
unclear.
O
So
I
think
what
I'd
like
to
do
now
is
wait
on
this
motion
and
get
more
information
from
the
city
coordinator's
office,
the
get
clarity
on
the
intent
of
the
services
and
where
those
are
codified
and
who
has
come
up
with
those.
I
guess
with
that
body
of
work
and
and
find
a
way
to
get
this
to
get
these
resources
under
the
right
home
to
resource
more
than
just
one
group
in
a
way
that
feels
transparent
and
inclusive.
O
So
I
think
I'm
leaning
more
towards
how
can
we
share
the
resources
through
a
process
versus
promising
one
group
money
and
then
taking
votes
on
it
later,
and
then
you
know
awarding
our
our
political
allies.
I
think
that's.
I
think
that
looks
really
really
bad
for
the
city
and
I'm
really
sorry
that
you
know
it
got
approved
last
time.
O
O
So
I
I'd
like
to
just
see
if
we
can
get
to
a
good
place
where
this
doesn't
feel
like
we're
shutting
the
door
in
one
specific
group,
but
that
we're
also
acknowledging
that
we
can't
govern
that
way.
We
can't
just
pick
our
favorite
groups
and
give
them
money
without
a
public
process
without
an
rfp,
that's
competitive
without
a
clear
contract
that
details
a
body
of
work
that
needs
to
be
done
and
that
it
and
that
it
belongs
in
in
a
department
that
has
that
expertise
and
that
background.
O
So
I'm
sorry
that
this
took
up
so
much
time
but
I'd
be
I'd,
be
happy
to
move
this
out
of
the
queue
and
tackle
the
next
amendment.
B
B
I
did
then
ask
the
mayor
if
his
office
would
just
work
with
you,
instead
of
needing
to
speak
today
on
this
motion
and
perhaps
you'll
be
ready
to
bring
something
back
with
a
little
bit
more
specificity
on
this
one,
even
as
early
as
next
week.
B
Thank
you.
So
we
will
consider
item
number
eight
withdrawn
for
now,
and
we
will
move
on
to
motion
number
nine,
which
council,
member
kano
has
emailed
us
all
changes.
It's
not
the
one
that
is
in
your
packet
and
I'll.
Ask
the
budget
director
to
read
it,
and
then
the
council
member
to
speak
to
it.
G
Thank
you,
madam
chair
members.
Amendment
number
nine
is
a
motion
by
council
member
kano
amending
the
2020
mayor's
recommended
revised
budget
in
the
general
fund
for
the
city
coordinator
and
police
departments,
increasing
the
appropriation
in
the
general
fund
for
the
city
coordinator's
office
by
150
000,
one
time
for
the
creative
city
challenge
change
item,
reducing
the
appropriation
in
the
general
fund
for
the
police
department
on
a
one-time
basis
by
one
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars.
B
Thank
you
now,
I'm
going
to
ask
the
author
to
speak
to
this
a
little
bit
and
give
us
some
context.
O
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
had
emailed
you
some
background
information
on
this
and
happy
to
elaborate
and
also
to
consider
any
amended
language
to
this.
If
it
helps
to
make
it
more
clear
or
specific,
so
the
notion
is
to
allocate
150
000
one
time
for
the
city
coordinators,
creative
city
challenge
program
and
to
reduce
the
police
department
by
this
150
000
allocation.
O
Specifically,
it
is
to
support
hiring
teams
of
artists
across
our
city
to
be
able
to
help
us
design
and
implement
a
framework
and
process
for
recovery
efforts
that
have
specifically
impacted
areas
where
we
know
the
civil
unrest
was
pretty
intense,
so
38th
in
chicago
is
one
potential
site,
the
third
precinct
where
the
third
precinct
burned
down,
and
now
we
have
a
lot
of
different
stakeholders
asking
what's
going
to
happen
here.
Who
gets
to
say
what
happens
here?
O
How
do
we
participate,
and
so
this
the
city
in
general
does
have
a
pretty
good
track
record
of
hiring
artists
or
teams
of
artists
to
lead
us
in
either
really
complex
work
like
the
comp
plan
or
have
helped
us
to
embed
artists
throughout
our
our
city
departments
to
be
able
to
weave
in
community
engagement
processes
and
more
racial
equity
outcomes.
O
And
so
I
would
be
happy
to
add
more
of
that
language
here.
If
that's,
if
that's
helpful,
because
as
I'm
reading
it
now,
I
realize
that
a
lot
of
the
contacts
that
I
had
shared
via
email
didn't
make
it
into
the
actual
language
here,
and
some
folks
may
not
know
what
the
the
the
creative
city
challenge
program
is.
But
we
can.
We
can
also
tweak
that
program
to
to
fit
our
current
reality,
which
is
much
much
different
than
where
we
were
a
year
ago.
O
So
that's
basically
the
intent,
and
I
did
share
also
a
tentative
high
level
sketch
of
how
that
money
could
be
programmed
and
packaged,
and
that
was
a
sketch
that
our
city
staff
put
together
based
on
conversations
about.
Potentially
what
this
work
could
do.
So
I'll
stand
for
questions.
B
Thank
you,
council,
member
kano,
I'll
start
with
asking
about
your
source,
because
I'm
actually
very
familiar
with
the
creative
city
challenge
program,
but
I
am
troubled
again
by
the
source
of
having
a
blanket
reduction
in
the
police
department
without
any
specificity
as
to
where
it
would
come
from.
So
if
you
could
help
me
understand
the
source
and
maybe
some
of
your
conversations
with
mpdm
on
that
on
this
decision
for
source,
because
it
has
changed
from
earlier
versions
and
then
I
will
call
on
someone
from
the
police
department.
Thank
you.
O
You're
welcome
the
source
is
the
police
department
in
general.
I
think
that,
based
on
earlier
conversations
from
with
colleagues
today,
it
seems
like
that
is
an
approach
that
is
empowering
of
the
police
department
to
choose
where
the
those
resources
could
come
from.
O
It's
been
a
bit
challenging
to
get
some
information
from
mpd
to
more
clearly
identify
constructive
sources
of
changing
the
money
around.
So
I
think
that,
if,
if
we
do
present,
this
cut,
just
like
the
other
ones
previous
to
this,
one
were
presented.
We're
allowing
the
the
chief
and
and
his
leadership
team
to
figure
out
where,
where
the
best,
where
the
best
place
is
for
these,
for
these
cuts
to
live.
B
Thank
you.
I'm
I'm
honestly
worried
that
it's
not
empowering
at
all.
I
I
want
to
remind
my
colleagues
that
eighty
percent
of
the
mpd's
budget
is
staff.
B
It
just
doesn't
sound,
responsible
and
transparent,
and
all
of
the
things
that
I
know
you
were
just
saying
to
do
these
kinds
of
blanket
cuts,
and
I
want
to
call
on
chi
ferradondo
just
to
get
his
sense
of
or
from
an
mpd
perspective.
Where
is
your
sense
as
to
where
a
number
of
these
blanket
cuts
and
the
next
one
is
also
a
general
appropriation
cut
to
mpd?
B
Where
will
they
come
from
chief
eredando.
Q
Yes,
madam
chair,
thank
you
councilman
mcconnell
for
your
your
remarks.
Yes
so,
and
I
also
just
want
to
say
too,
I
know
that
director
mcpherson
could
not
be
on
the
phone
here,
who
does
all
of
our
detailed
overall
budget
work
for
us,
but
I
I
would
say
that
whatever
information,
I
certainly
can
get
from
our
elected
officials
as
to
ideas
or
specifics
as
to
where,
within
the
budget,
their
envisioning,
their
proposed
amendments
would
come
from.
Q
Q
Amidst
the
pandemic,
we
certainly
are
experiencing
a
significant
increase
in
violent
crime
and
the
other
things
that
are
impacting
our
city,
but
from
a
chief's
perspective,
a
department
head's
perspective,
the
more
that
I
can
get
some
specifics
as
to
where,
within
the
mpd
budget
as
thomas
settlement,
the
vast
majority
of
that
eighty
percent
or
plus,
is
wages
and
salaries.
Q
It
would
better
help
me
to
design
and
prepare
and
to
make
sure
that
the
budget
is
in
alignment
with
what
the
council
is
overall
is
for
the
city.
But
my
concern
is
that
if
we
don't
have
a
whole
lot
of
specifics
and
based
on
the
timelines
that
our
council
is
having
to
prepare
this
budget,
I
it
could
potentially
be
problematic,
and
so
I
just
want
to
do
everything
that
I
can
as
a
department
head
to
to
try
to
help
in
this
process.
So
thank
you.
B
Thank
you.
I
open
this
back
up
to
council
vice
president
jenkins
for
comments,
whether
about
the
source
or
the
creative
city
challenge
item
council.
Vice
president.
J
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
I
guess
I
would
just
you
know
generally,
I'm
I'm
supportive
of
the
idea
of
using
artists
to
help
us
to
really
figure.
J
To
respond
to
to
rebuilding
the
areas
that
councilman
mcconnell
mentioned,
I
I
really
think
having
artists
involved
in
that
process
is
is
important.
J
I
do
know
that
community
planning
and
economic
development
just
received
a
50
000
grant
to
do
community
engagement
around
that
potentially
using
artists,
and
I
thought
that
the
coordinators
office
had
indicated
that
that
they
were
able
to
fund
the
activities
of
the
creative
city
challenge,
and
I
I
could
very
well
be
mistaken,
but
if
mr
ruff
wants
to
address
that
at
all,
I
would
I
would
appreciate
it,
but
it
was
my
understanding
that
that
those
funds
could
be
absorbed
and
or.
B
Thank
you,
I'm
gonna,
I'm
gonna
first
call
in
council
member
cunningham
and
then
I'm
gonna
ask
if
mr
ruff
could
help
us
answer
that
question.
Could
this
be
done
with
those
other
grant
funds?
I
also
want
to
lift
up
something
that
was
said
in
that
healing
is
so
important
here.
That's
a
big
contribution,
councilmember
kano
that
you
made
to
our
official
active
council,
the
resolution
about
transforming
our
police
department
and
for
that
use
of
art
and
artists
for
that
work.
I
recognize
is
incredibly
important.
Councilmember
cunningham.
K
Thank
you
just
for
clarification.
It
was
transforming
public
safety,
not
just
policing,
but
I
wanted
to
ask
around
so
we
already
have
a
pa
past
amendments
that
do
not
have
specific
line
items,
so
I
just
want
to
name
that
and.
K
What
procedurally
like,
if,
let's
say
we
passed
this
one
as
well,
because
we've
already
passed
some
like
can?
Can
we
ask
for
the
authors
of
these
amendments
to
work
with
the
police
department
to
come
back
with
specifics?
I
just
I
don't
feel
particularly
comfortable
with
the
fact
it
feels
like
we're
kind
of
holding
colleagues
at
different
standards
right
now,
because,
what's
being
brought
up
again,
is
around
the
vagueness
without
a
specific
line
item.
K
I
obviously
have
my
perspective
around
specificity
and
and
ultimately
like
how
that
plays
out
with
budget
for
the
department
has
been
able
to
move
money
around.
K
However,
I
understand
and
respect
that
that
is
the
disciple
level
of
discipline,
that's
being
asked
so
just
procedurally,
I'm
kind
of
curious
about
how
do
we
navigate
moving
forward
if
we've
already
passed
some
that
do
not
have
that
level
of
specificity
to
be
able
to
reach
that
without
holding
back
on
this
particular
one
which,
in
my
opinion,
is
holding
our
colleagues
to
different
standards.
B
Thank
you
for
that
comment.
I
I
do
agree
with
it,
but
I
I
think
we
really
need
to
know
the
trade-offs
here
and
the
higher
the
dollar
figure.
In
this
case,
the
first
two
were
fairly
small
in
comparison
to
this
in
the
next
one.
B
I
think
we
really
need
to
know
what
the
trade-off
here
is
that
we're
making
within
within
the
police
department,
because
in
my
conversations
with
council
leadership
and
with
the
mayor's
office,
our
exercise
in
this
entire
revised
budget,
which
was
to
account
for
covid
shortfalls,
mostly
and
then
deal
with
some
of
the
other
additional
expenses
due
to
coved.
B
The
strategy
was
to
avoid
needing
to
cut
into
staff
because
of
how
difficult
it
is
in
five
months
of
the
year
to
make
up
a
cost
like
that,
and
I
do
think
these
things
come
very
close
and
probably
go
into
the
need
to
cut
and
furlough
staff
and
over
time
that
is
absolutely
necessary
as
first
responders.
So
I
think
it's
imp,
I
just
can't
say
it
strongly
enough.
I
think
it's
imperative
that
we
know
what
the
trade-off
here
is
that
we
are
making.
B
Are
there
any
additional
comments
or
questions?
Oh
one,
other
thing
I
wanted
to
mention
in
those
conversations
with
the
mayor
and
council
leadership
and
myself
about
how
we
would
come
up
with
a
strategy.
One
of
the
real
difficulties
of
where
would
we
make
cuts
within
the
mpd
budget
is
that
there
are
only
two
one-time
change
items
in
our
whole.
B
2020
adopted
mpd
budget,
the
first
one
was
for
co-responders
and
we
didn't
want
to
cut
that,
and
the
second
piece
was
about
getting
mpd
out
of
the
intellectual
property
business,
and
that
is
where
you
did
see
the
proposed
cut
from
the
mayor,
which
was
to
the
workforce
director
and
automated
pawn
system
change
item.
B
Let's
see,
I'm
sorry,
thank
you,
council.
Vice
president
jenkins,
I'd
like
to
hear
from
mr
ruff
about
the
council
vice
president's
question
about
additional
grant
monies.
P
J
I
do
believe
it
was
related
to
the
email
that
you
sent
out
earlier
this
week
and
the
grant
funding
is
a
program
in
cped,
a
50
000
grant.
That
was
just
announced
yesterday
to
preserve
african-american
history,
as
it
has
been
sort
of
formulated
in
a
response
to
the
civil
unrest,
so
the
art
that
has
been
promulgating
our
city,
you
know
these
funds
are
to
have
community
engagement
around
what
should
we,
what
should
be
done?
J
How
do
we
rebuild
these
communities?
I
I,
I
think,
many
of
the
same
goals
that
councilman
ricano
is
trying
to
accomplish
through
the
creative
city,
making
challenge.
P
Chair
palmisano,
then,
to
answer
specifically
council
vice
president's
question.
Earlier
I
emailed
that
I
made
a
mistake
in
the
coordinator's
recommendations
to
the
mayor.
Even
before
the
mayor
made
a
determination
that
we
had
suggested
that
if
there
was
a
cut
to
the
coordinator's
office,
it
was
better
to
come
out
of
sustainability
than
out
of
the
creative
city
challenge.
But
that
message
didn't
get
to
the
mayor's
office
in
time
for
them
to
reflect
that
in
their
final
issuance
of
their
recommendations
to
the
council.
P
So
our
recommendation
was
no
cut
and
that
was
seventy
thousand
dollars
to
create
a
sitting
challenge
instead
that
coming
out
of
the
sustainability
area.
Now,
given
the
events
of
the
last
kind
of
24
hours
with
the
shifting
of
money,
it's
clear
that
that
there's
been
some
additional
prioritization
from
the
council
where
council
member
cano,
as
I
understand
that
and
ask
her
to
clarify,
he's
increasing
the
amount
of
the
creative
city
challenge,
so
restoring
not
only
that
seventy
thousand
dollar
cut
but
increasing
to
another.
Eighty
thousand
for
the
hundred
and
fifty.
P
But
I
certainly
could
be
wrong
on
that.
But
would
like
some
clarification.
But
that's
my
reading
and
then
the
money
that
was
to
be
utilized
from
sustainability,
then
in
an
earlier
action
by
council
president,
was
reallocated
to
someplace
else.
So
we
are
ending
up
with
many
streams
of
money
going
different
places
and
certainly
would
look
for
clarification
if
my
interpretation
of
that
is
not
right
from
the
budget
director
or
any
of
the
council
members.
B
Thank
you,
council,
member
kano.
Did
you
want
to
jump
in
here.
O
Yeah,
so
I
believe
that
earlier
in
the
email
life
of
our
lives
here
this
week,
there
was
a
conversation
about
restoring
75
000
to
the
creative,
silly
city
challenge
by
taking
from
sustainability.
I
believe
that
we
already
allocated
the
sustainability
money
in
previous
motions
today.
O
I
think
it
was
the
fire
training
motion
unless,
unless
we're
hoping
to
to
double
dip
from
sustainability,
not
taking
two
different
70
000
amounts,
I'm
not
sure
if
it
was
the
same
source
or
not,
but
but
basically
what
my
amendment
here
is
saying
is:
we
need
help
right
now
from
artists
and
artists
need
the
help
of
the
city
right
now
they
need
jobs,
they
need
gigs,
they
need
to
be
employed,
and
I
would
like
I
would
like
us
to
take
that
money
from
the
police
department.
O
I
think
that
council
members
right
now
are
going
at
it
alone,
trying
to
devise
these
very
large
and
complex
and
very
time
intensive
community
engagement
processes
where
conflict
is
is
rising
where
many
people
are
trying
to
participate
and
we
don't
have
enough
vehicles
created
for
them
to
be
plugged
into
such
as
38th
and
chicago
such
as
the
third
precinct
site.
O
Some
of
the
other
sites
that
were
you
know
negatively
impacted
by
the
by
the
civil
unrest,
whether
it
was
you
know,
breaking
down,
windows
or
buildings,
or
burning
them,
etc.
All
of
all
of
that
work
needs
careful
tending
to
and
it
needs
capacity,
and
we
need
it
now.
We
can't
wait
until
august
and
then
december
and
then
next
year
in
february,
for
that
money
to
be
rolled
out.
This
is
our
new
reality
today.
This
is
our
covet
19
response.
These
are
all
related.
O
So,
regardless
of
I
guess
whether
or
not
the
sustainability
money
is
there
or
not
anymore,
this
amendment
itself
is
saying
we
know
that
there
can
be
a
150
000
cut
to
the
police
department
that
can
be
redirected
to
support
community
safety
efforts.
Community
engagement
efforts,
de-escalation
efforts
led
by
artists
centered
on
healing
centered,
on
recovery,
centered
on
economic
redevelopment
there
to
restore
what
was
you
know
very?
O
O
So
I
I
don't
want
my
amendment
to
be
held
to
a
different
standard
than
than
another
council
member
who
happens
to
be
a
male
council
member.
I
mean,
I
think,
that
it's
important
for
us
to
demonstrate
that
we're
making
decisions
around
the
same
values-
and
I
think
this
squarely
fits
in
with
that
racial
equity
value
of
again
creating
jobs
for
artists
who
are
already
on
the
ground.
O
Doing
some
of
this
work.
Who
can
help
us
sustain
that
work?
And-
and
I
know
that
council
vice
president
and
I
and
as
well
as
many
city
department
leaders,
have
acknowledged
that
we
need
to
bottom
line
some
of
this
community-based
work.
That's
being
done
right
now
for
free
that
nobody's
bringing
money
to
the
table
for
because
we
haven't
had
a
chance
to
have
this
discussion.
O
So
I
I
think
that
that
you
know
out
of
the
193
million
dollars
that
the
mpd
department
has.
Surely
we
can
find
150
000
to
give
to
to
hire
some
local
artists
of
color,
who
have
deep
expertise
in
the
community
engagement
processes
that
our
communities
are
hungry
for
and
that
our
city
needs
in
order
to
be
to
heal,
to
repair,
to
to
grow
and
to
build.
O
So
I
think
that
it
would.
I
think
this
makes
sense
and-
and
I
don't
think
it's
going
to
put
us
in
a
difficult
position.
I
think
it's
actually
quite
clear
where
we're
going
and
what
we're
doing.
B
B
I'm
not
seeing
any.
I
do
want
to
point
out
and
assert
that
everybody
on
this
council-
I
don't
think
I'm
speaking
out
of
turn,
is
on
the
same
page
with
the
need
for
the
kinds
of
healing
that
are
being
discussed
here.
I
think
the
difficulty
here
is
about
the
source
and
how
we're
equivocating
about
the
source.
B
There
was
significant
money
being
taken
out
of
the
body
camera
contracts,
for
example,
and
I
I
don't
agree
with
that.
I
think
we
need
that
kind
of
transparency
for
our
for
our
current
mpd
department.
I
want
to
call
on
council
member
cunningham
who
has
been
patient
and
waiting,
and
then
council
president
and
then
council
vice
president
bender.
Those
are
the
people
that
I
still
see
here
in
queue
council,
member
cunningham.
K
Thank
you.
I
I
appreciate
it
the
follow-up
that
I
I
would
like
to
ask,
and
I
council,
member
or
council
vice
president
jenkins
kind
of
spoke
to
this
a
little
bit.
K
So
if
we
were
to
move
this
money,
regardless
of
you
know
where
it
comes
from,
but
like
once
the
money,
if
the
money
is
moved,
then
is
it
then
going
to
be
open
for
an
rfp,
or
is
it
going
to
be
specifically
for
artists
on
lake
street
and
38th
in
chicago,
because
they're
our
side,
artists,
who
could
benefit
from
it
too?
So
I
I'm
just
kind
of
curious.
You
know
like.
K
Are
we
looking
at
then
opening
up
an
rfp,
or
is
this
specifically
being
moved
over
for
artists,
like
specifically
specific
artists
or
specific
locations,
already
decided.
B
I
know
that
councilmember
connor
wants
to
respond
to
that
in
another
question
from
the
council
vice
president,
if
we
could
give
councilmember
kano
just
a
minute
to
prepare
her
thoughts
on
that,
I'm
going
to
call
in
the
council
president
and
then
ask
councilmember
kano
to
respond
to
both
of
those
questions
that
one
and
the
one
from
council
vice
president
council,
president
bender.
I
Yeah,
thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
put
myself
in
queue
a
while
ago
when
there
were
some
questions
about
the
funding
source
in
the
coordinator's
office,
so
that
is
the
source
that
was
used
earlier
for
the
jobs,
training
and
youth
development
programs.
I
You
know
I,
I
really
support
the
intention
of
this
and
the,
and
certainly
the
need
to
invest
in
activities
at
30th
in
chicago.
I
know
there
have
been
a
lot
of
conversations
with
the
city
and
other
partners
around
how
to
proceed
with
the
intersection
there
and
resources
that
could
be
brought
to
bear.
I
I
feel
like
in
terms
of
the
package
of
shifts
that
we're
making
now,
I
feel
more
confident
about
some
of
the
other
items
that
are
coming
and
I
think
some
things
just
in
terms
of
like
the
level
of
detail
around
violence
prevention,
and
I
I
just
so
I
just
want
to
be
transparent
before
we
get
to
the
vote.
That
I'm
not
sure
I
can
support
this
item
today,
because
just
of
the
specificity
around
how
the
how
the
funding
would
be
spent
and
not.
I
I
agree
that
you
know
that
this
is
taking
the
same
approach
that
councilmember
gordon
did
earlier.
So
it's
more
just
about
needing
more
information
about
all
the
conversations
that
have
happened
around
the
30th
and
chicago
specific
investments
and
the
way
that
this
strategy
fits
into
into
that
and
all
of
the
other
goals
that
have
been
described.
So
I
just
wanted
to
be
transparent
about
where
I
was
at.
For
this
thing,.
B
Thank
you,
councilmember
kano
did
you
want
to
jump
in
again.
O
Yeah,
definitely
so
just
as
background
information.
The
creative
city
challenge
is
a
is
a
program
that
is
administered
and
run
by
the
city
of
minneapolis.
O
It
is
not
a
specific
nonprofit
organization
that
we
would
be
awarding
a
direct
allocation
of
150
thousand
dollars,
so
the
the
city
coordinators
office
houses,
the
creative
city
challenge
program,
the
the
one
thing
that
I
can
offer.
I
would
still
like
to
take
a
vote
on
this
today,
because
I
think
it's
really
important
for
us
to
show
that
the
artists
in
our
community
that
were
serious
about
getting
their
their
support
and
getting
their
support.
O
Now
because,
like
I
said
myself
and
other
council
members,
are,
are
really
going
at
this
alone
in
terms
of
trying
to
figure
out
how
to
put
a
community
engagement
process
together
that
helps
us
to
heal
and
to
come
up
with
the
the
future
vision
of
some
of
the
areas
that
have
been
impacted
by
the
the
murder
of
mr
george
floyd,
and
so,
specifically
speaking
to
some
of
council
member
cunningham's
concerns.
O
There
are
no
like
there
is
no
ear
mark
for
one
one
site
right
now.
This
is
kind
of
it.
What
I'm
thinking
about
is,
if
we
can
vote
on
this
today
and
and
go
ahead
and
codify
the
support
and
identify
that
it's
coming
from
the
police
department
and
then
work
together
and
I'd
be
happy
to
kick
a
draft
to
you
all
over
the
weekend
to
come
up
with
a
staff
direction
that
we
can
vote
on
next
week.
That
brings
more
specificity
to
how
the
use
of
funds
can
be
entertained
by
staff.
O
O
Sometimes
a
lot
of
the
staff
already
have
some
of
those
frameworks.
So
we're
not
we're
not
reinventing
the
wheel
here.
This
isn't
a
new
program
we're
creating.
This
is
adapting
a
program
that
we
already
have.
That
has
been
able
to
hire
artists
in
our
city,
to
produce
public
art,
to
be
able
to
adapt
to
our
new
reality,
and-
and
we
really
do
need
to
lean
on
these
folks
now,
because
we
don't
have
council
member
capacity
to
be
going
to
a
hundred
meetings
a
month
and
and
figuring
out.
O
O
I
think
the
the
intent
is
pretty
clear
and
I
would
be
happy
to
work
on
a
staff
direction
with
councilmember
jenkins
and
cunningham
and
bender
to
further
specify
and
and
direct
how
these
resources
would
move
move
throughout
the
enterprise
and
into
the
community
in
a
way
that
aligns
with
all
of
the
values
we
talked
about
today:
transparency,
community
engagement
and
rfp
process,
which
which
are
all
parts
of
the
work
that
the
creative
city
challenge
already.
Does
they
have
a
committee
of
residents
and
artists
that
pick
the
artist's
team?
O
B
There
thank
you,
council.
Vice
president
jenkins,.
J
Yeah,
I
you
know,
I
absolutely
agree
with
the
intent
of
the
the
proposed
amendment.
B
J
You
know,
and
I'm
not
sure,
that
the
creative
city
making
challenge
process
really
supports
that
you
know
I.
I
really
believe
that
this
work
can
be
resourced
through
other
mechanisms.
J
I've
already
mentioned
a
couple,
and-
and
I
think
that
there
are
many
many
many
groups
that
are
out
there-
that
are
willing
to
support
that
that
process,
and
so
I'm
I'm
really
challenged
by
by
supporting
this
recommendation
at
this
moment.
B
Thank
you.
I
I
want
to
say
to
my
colleagues
about
this.
This
amendment
is
is
about
much
more
than
than
money
and
funding.
This
is
about
healing
and
the
use
of
art
and
artists
for
that
work,
and-
and
I
really
want
to
lift
that
up-
it's
a
really
important
endeavor.
I
also
want
you
to
feel
like
to
my
colleagues,
particularly
council
members,
kano
and
jenkins
you're,
not
alone.
We
are
all
in
this
together.
B
I
am
looking
forward
to
the
presentation
by
staff
on
july
24th
to
see
what
that
plan
is
to
center
black
and
brown
voices
in
this
conversation
to
center
black
and
indigenous
voices
as
to
the
kind
of
public
safety
transformations
that
come
next,
and
I
know
that
we
don't
have
that
yet
back
from
staff
and
won't
until
next
week,
mindful
of
just
the
time
councilmember
kano
did
you
want
us
to
do
a
roll
call
and
see
if
there's
support
for
this
now
and
then,
if
it
there
isn't
to
see
if
this
could
come
back
in
some
other
way
or
do
you
want
to
just
withdraw
this
motion.
O
Yeah,
I
actually,
I
would
love
to
have
this
motion
be
co-authored
by
multiple
people,
specifically
the
artist
on
on
the
city
council.
I
think
you
know
today's
budget
meeting
is
important
because
it
helps
to
create
the
space
for
those
conversations,
and
you
know
I
personally
have
to
apologize
for
not
being
more
available.
O
You
probably
know
that
I
have
the
city's
largest
outdoor,
unregulated,
homeless,
encampment
in
powderhorn
park,
and
so
that
has
really
taken
time
out
of
my
my
physical
day
and
so
typically,
I
would
have
bugged
many
of
you
non-stop
to
get
us
to
a
good
amendment
here
today.
But
it's
it's
been
really
challenging
to
to
balance
all
of
the
work
that
we're
doing
to
abolish
the
police
department,
create
a
new
safety
system,
respond
to
the
homeless,
encampment
and
then
be
able
to
talk
to
12
council
members
on
these
amendments.
O
So
I
I
agree
with
a
lot
of
the
feedback
that
has
been
shared
today.
I
would
love
for
this
amendment
to
be
successful,
I'm
not
interested
in
making
a
point
and
and
not
having
it
go
through.
O
I
really
do
want
this
work
resource
because
we
we
need
that
capacity
on
the
ground
and
artists
bring
a
set
of
skills
that
I
will
never
have
and
that
a
lot
of
council
members,
even
even
on
this
diocese,
you
know,
won't
be
able
to
bring
because
we're
we're
so
split
in
so
many
different
ways,
and
so
I
would
say
that
if
I
can
work
with
other,
if
other
council
members
are
willing
to
work
with
me
to
bring
this
back,
I
don't
want
this
to
die,
and
I
don't
want
this
to
to
get
kicked
down
the
road
to
the
point
where
it
doesn't.
O
It
doesn't
go
anywhere.
I
we
do.
We
do
need
help
identifying
those
sources
because
nobody
wants
to
give
up
the
money.
Now
everybody
wants
to
keep
what
they
have.
So
it
really
is
about.
Well,
what's
our
priority,
you
know,
is
it?
Is
it
policing
or
or
are
we
trying
to
build
a
new
future
here
so
I'll
I'll?
Withdraw
the
motion
today
in
in
the
hopes
that
there
is
interest
from
other
council
members
to
really
find
a
way
for
this
to
be
successful
next
week,.
B
Thank
you
with
that.
I'm
going
to
say
that
councilmember
kano
withdraws
her
motion.
That
council
vice
president
would
very
much
like
to
work
with
you
on
that
and
council
member
ellison.
Did
you
want
to
say
a
couple
words?
Sorry
I
removed
it
before
you
could
but
go
ahead.
R
Please,
no
it's
totally!
Okay!
I
just
wanted
to
just
because
I
hadn't
jumped
in
yet,
but
I
I
probably
would
have
supported
the
amendment,
as
is
I'm
sorry
to
speak
up
a
little
bit
sooner,
but
I
despite
it
and
having
been
withdrawn,
I'm
absolutely
just
wanted
to
voice
likes
council
vice
president
that
I'm
absolutely
willing
to
work
with
councilmember
connor
to
get
this
to
a
good
place
and
to
share
up
some
of
the
details.
So
I
appreciate
this
coming
forward.
B
B
Next,
we
have
amendment
number
10,
council,
member
kano,
the
motion
just
to
clarify
just
to
make
sure
and
jump
in
if
this
is
wrong
is
before
us
on
the
screen,
and
I
will
have
director
intramural
read
the
motion
and
then
I'll
have
you
speak
to
it.
G
Thank
you,
madam
chair
members.
Amendment
number
10
is
a
motion
by
councilmember
kano
amending
the
2020
mayor's
recommended
revised
budget
in
the
general
fund
for
the
health
and
police
departments,
increasing
the
appropriation
in
the
general
fund
for
the
health
department
by
fifty
thousand
dollars,
one
time
for
the
office
of
violence
prevention
to
provide
training,
technical
assistance,
supplies
and
implementation
of
paid
community
safety
patrols
that
help
crime
hot
spots
and
homeless,
encampments
throughout
the
city.
Reducing
the
appropriation
in
the
general
fund
for
the
minneapolis
police
department
on
a
one-time
basis
by
five
hundred
thousand
dollars.
O
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
madam
chair
appreciate
your
time
here.
So
this
specific
amendment's
intent
is
to
respond
to
the
the
hundreds
of
people
who
have
formed
their
own
community
safety
patrol
systems
to
keep
their
blocks
and
their
neighborhoods
safe
in
this
time
of
deep
transition.
O
Just
two
two
days
ago,
or
maybe
yesterday.
Actually
I
was
out
meeting
with
a
group
of
residents
on
18th
avenue,
south
and
lake
street,
and
I
was
actually
invited
there
by
our
attorney
general,
mr
keith
ellison,
who
who
also
toured
the
site
previously
and
and
said
you
know,
alondra.
You
have
to
come
down
here.
The
you
know
these
folks
need
your
support,
and
these
folks
have
been
patrolling
their
own
community
for
a
long
time
now,
they've
even
built
their
own
block.
O
What
would
you
call
it
like
a
gate
into
their
into
their
street
into
their
block,
because
mpd
and
and
myself
and
others
haven't
been
able
to
solve
the
crime
and
safety
issues
there,
and
so
folks
are,
are
really
feeling
like
this
is
the
time
to
be
given
the
resources
and
the
tools
to
to
put
their
own
ideas
to
work,
and
and
so
what
what
this
amendment
does
it?
It
recognizes
and
acknowledges
that
that
new
reality
we're
in
and
it
responds
to
it.
O
I
know
that
we've
heard
a
lot
of
amazing
things
about
the
the
freedom
riders
on
the
north
side.
We-
I
don't,
I
don't
know
what
we're
calling
ours
on
the
south
side,
but
I
I
did
hear
from
the
groups
that
were
there
yesterday
that
there's
about
500
people
across
the
city,
doing
this
community
patrol
and
they're
talking
to
one
another
and
they're
connecting,
and
what
I'm
hearing
from
excuse
me
from
other
residents
is
that
they
want.
O
They
want
a
uniform
approach
at
how
to
do
that
community
patrolling
they
really
want
to
have
access
to
a
a
unified
training
so
that
it
can
build
the
capacity
of
folks
to
interrupt
violence
to
de-escalate
to
address
conflict
because
they're,
not
they're,
not
feeling
like
they
can
get
that
support
anywhere
else,
and
so
they're
really
asking
our
local
jurisdiction
to
step
in
and
to
provide
those
supports.
O
So
ideally,
this
would
be
500
000,
coming
from
the
minneapolis
police
department
to
help
resource
those
groups
to
pay
folks
to
do
some
of
that
work
to
provide
training
on
a
lot
of
these
themes
and
issues
to
provide
some
supplies.
O
You
know
I
think
some
people
talked
about
like
having
radios
and
things
like
that
so
again,
just
acting
as
a
conduit
to
help
our
communities
potentially
if
we,
if
we
approve
this,
address
that
that
pressing
need
that
is
really
a
rising
in
in
certain
areas
of
our
of
our
city.
Happy
to
take
questions.
K
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Thank
you
councilmember
connell,
for
bringing
forward
this
amendment
there.
I
just
want
to
speak
specifically
a
little
bit
to
where
this
funding
could
go
within
the
office
of
violence
prevention,
where
I
think
that
that
it
most
appropriately
fit
first
off
just
say
that
the
number
one
request
that
that
I
hear
that
the
ovp
hears
from
community
is
and
those
who
experience
violence,
is
that
folks
want
the
opportunity
to
create
their
own
solutions
and
that
they
know
will
successfully
address
the
violence.
K
We
have
the
blueprint
approved
institute
in
the
office
of
violence
prevention.
It
I
feel
like
that,
doesn't
get
raised
and
praised
enough
locally.
It's
nationally
recognized
as
a
best
practice
in
which
they
do
exactly
this.
The
training,
technical
assistance
with
the
organizations
and
the
groups
that
are
closest
to
the
violence
on
the
front
lines
to
be
able
to
understand
how
to
do
their
work
best.
K
The
currently
right
now
about
85
percent
of
those
funds
go
that
currently
it's
it's
not
super
well
funded,
but
about
85
of
those
dollars
go
specifically
to
north
side
activities
and
so
being
able
to
expand.
It
would
allow
for
there
to
be
maybe
even
a
south
side,
specific
cohort
of
organizations
the
so
additional
resources
would
be
able
to
to
help
with
that.
Specifically,
I'm
gonna
speak
once
we
kind
of
move
through
things
a
little
bit
more.
K
K
That
really
speaks
also
to
this,
but
I
will
save
that
that
additional
information
for
later,
but
this
this
money
is
very
needed
for
us
to
ensure
that
community
community-led
safety
strategies
are
actually
being
deployed
during
this
time
of
increased
violence,
because
what
we
know
is
that
community
has
the
solutions
to
the
problems
community
faces,
and
so
it's
it's
our
responsibility
as
a
city
to
invest
in
that.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you
who
else
would
like
to
speak
to
this
motion.
I
think
that
this
doesn't.
Thank
you,
council,
president.
I
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
appreciated
council
member
cunningham
ching
in,
and
I
just
wanted
to
note
that
you
know
it
seems
that
we
have
quite
a
lot
of
potential
funding
opportunities
in
the
office
of
violence
prevention
that
are
ready
to
go,
and
so
I
appreciate
council
member
cano
bringing
these
forward
today
and
so
I'll
I'll
be
supporting
this.
I
did
want
to
note
that,
as
we
get
from
here
to
the
final
markup,
I'm
imagining
that
there
may
be
some.
I
You
know
further
coordination
on
things
that
council
members
have
been
working
on
separately,
or
you
know
that
we're
hearing
about
today
and
that
will
be
able
to
you
know,
perhaps
align
and
understand
for
the
final
markup
so,
and
I
know
that
councilmember
cunningham
talked
about
some
of
that
potential
work
just
now
and
maybe
we'll
be
elaborating
further
in
later
items
for
this
in
this
meeting.
I
C
C
D
F
C
C
D
S
B
You
that
motion
carries
with
that.
Colleagues:
we've
completed
the
packet
of
prepared
amendments,
so
I
will
open
the
floor
and
ask
if
there's
any
further
amendments
that
may
be
ready
to
be
introduced
today.
B
L
Thank
you,
palmisano,
and
thank
you
to
all
of
my
colleagues.
I
know
this
meeting
is
getting
long,
but
I
do
want
to
provide
a
little
bit
of
detail
about
what
I'm
working
on
both
so
that
you
all
can
work
with
me
on
it
and
and
think
about
the
best
way
forward
in
some
of
this,
but
also
so
that
it
can
be
a
part
of
the
content
of
the
public
feedback
that
we
get
at
the
next
public
comment
period.
L
So
I've
been
focusing
on
amendments
that
would
think
about
functions
that
mpd
currently
serves
that
are,
are
not
going
well
and
they're.
Not
policing
functions.
They're
actually
functions
that
most
departments
work
with
the
rest
of
the
city
in
a
more
coordinated
way
and
one
of
the
unique
things
about
mpd-
and
I
have
often
argued
one
of
the
problematic
things
about
npd-
is
that
it
operates
in
an
island
and
and
doesn't
end
up
interacting
with
the
rest
of
the
city
as
much
because
it
it
has
so
many
self-contained
services.
L
And
so
I'm
gonna
be
bringing
proposals
that
correct
some
areas
where
we're
underperforming
as
a
city,
and
it's,
I
think,
diminishing
the
public.
Trust
in
some
important
ways
and
where
we
can
do
better
and
so
I'll,
be
bringing
I'm
working
on
an
amendment
that
would
shift
the
data
records
management
function
from
mpd
to
the
clerk's
office,
where
it's
done
very
well
for
the
rest
of
the
city,
and
I
think
we
can
produce
better
results.
That
way.
L
I
am
working
on
bringing
an
amendment
that
would
shift
the
communications
function
from
mpd
to
the
communications
department,
which
I
think
could
bring
us
a
more
trusted
ability
to
communicate
about
crime
and
safety
in
our
city.
We've
we've
seen
a
lot
of
missteps
and
we've
seen
frankly
a
lot
of
frustration
with
that
department,
and
so
I'm
I'm
working
on
an
amendment
to
bring
that.
C
L
Then
I
think
we
have
two
kind
of
important
community
outreach
functions
that
exist
within
mpd
and
I
think
in
general
there's
some
very
good
people
doing
some
very
good
work
and
also
not
getting
a
lot
of
support
and
consistent
supervision
and
and
guidance.
L
And
so
I
think
we
could
produce
better
outcomes
if
the
violence
prevention
work
and
the
outreach
work
that's
happening
currently
within
mpd
in
perhaps
a
less
organized
way
than
it
could
be,
was
happening
in
the
office
of
violence
prevention
and
within
our
community
outreach
function
as
a
city,
and
so
I'm
exploring
those
amendments
as
well,
and
so
there
there's
that'll
be
a
set
of
four
amendments
and
I'm
certainly
supportive
of
my
colleagues
efforts
generally
to
fund
the
work
of
ovp.
L
L
We
heard
reported
this
morning
really
thinking
about
what
are
the
ways
that
we
can
make
sure
we're
providing
response
and
doing
prevention,
work
and
response
work
throughout
the
city
in
a
way
that
makes
sure
that
we're
still
getting
people's
public
safety
needs
met
and
starts
to
enact
some
of
the
transformation
that
we've
promised
as
a
city.
So
so,
in
any
case,
look
forward
to
those
coming
through.
L
Those
obviously
have
human
resources
components
that
I
want
to
make
sure
that
I've
really
had
a
chance
to
get
right,
and
so
that's
why
I
didn't
bring
them
today.
I
want
to
get
the
details
right
on
on
some
of
that
work
and
make
sure
that
we're
dotting
all
the
I's
and
crossing
all
the
t's
on
that.
L
So
look
forward
to
that
coming
forward
on
wednesday
and
know
that
if
you've
got
strong
opinions,
one
way
or
the
other
about
any
of
those
functions
as
they're
currently
operating
within
mpd,
that
we
are
actively
looking
at
the
best
way
to
support
and
locate
those
services
so
that
they
are
trusted
so
that
they
perform
to
our
city
standards
and
so
that
they're
supported
thanks.
B
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
sharing
that
with
the
committee
council,
member
cunningham,.
K
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
so
I'm
not
bringing
forward
any
specific
amendments
today,
but
I
did
want
to
speak
to
to
some
some
items
that
I'm
working
on.
Generally
speaking,
because
of
the
fact
that
we
are
experiencing
such
a
spike
in
violent
crime,
we
have
to
be
thinking
about.
What
are
we
going
to
do
to
respond
to
this
in
the
immediate,
because
literally
lives
are
being
lost?
I
know
that
there
was
that
there
there's
an
urge
to
wait
and
not
make
structural
changes.
K
However,
like
living
in
the
thick
of
this
myself,
I
can
say
that,
like
we
cannot
wait
with
with
what
we're
experiencing
every
day,
so
our
office
of
violence
prevention
is
leading
life-changing
work
for
the
clients
that
they
work
with,
but
they
currently
are
unable
to
make
the
population
level
impacts.
We
want
to
see,
because
we
have
not
invested
in
the
office
of
violence
prevention
strategy
enough
for
them
to
do
so.
K
K
So,
as
I
said,
I'm
not
bringing
forward
any
specific
amendments
today
with
funding,
because
there
is
more
work
that
needs
to
be
done
in
that
area.
But
I
want
to
name
to
my
colleagues
and
for
the
public
record,
some
specific
items
that
we
can
move
funding
forward
with
during
this
budget
revision
to
immediately
address
the
spike
in
crime
and
violence
that
we're
living
in
and
living
with.
K
Right
now,
there's
a
program
founded
in
chicago
by
a
public
health
expert,
and
it's
named
cure
violence
which
has
trained
violence,
interrupters
and
outreach
workers
who
prevent
shootings
by
identifying
and
mediating
potentially
lethal
conflicts
in
the
community,
as
well
as
follow
up
to
ensure
that
the
conflict
does
not
reignite
so
that
could
be
from
up
to
months
afterwards.
This
street
outreach
prevents
retaliation,
mediates
ongoing
conflicts
and
remains
connected
for
as
long
as
needed
to
sure
to
ensure
conflicts
do
not
become
violence.
K
Investing
in
this
strategy
will
tie
together
the
next
step
in
group,
violence,
intervention
efforts,
so
our
hospital-based
program
and
then
our
violence
intervention
program,
the
office
of
violence
prevention
has
identified
a
number
of
small
organizations
with
deep
ties
to
group
and
gang
culture.
These
organizations,
the
folks
who
are
in
these
organizations
and
running
them,
have
the
rare,
incredibly
valuable
asset
of
having
enough
credibility
with
the
folks
who
are
shooting
the
guns
to
get
them
to
put
those
guns
down.
K
Many
of
these
organizations
already
actually
have
relationships
with
the
city,
specifically
because
of
the
office
of
violence
prevention.
Through
the
blueprint
approved
institute,
which
I
mentioned
it,
which
increases
the
capacity
of
those
closest
to
community
violence,
so
they're
better
equipped
to
help
keep
their
communities
safe.
K
So
I've
been
working
with
the
office
of
violence
prevention,
a
national
partner
cities
united
around.
How
do
we
actually
operationalize
violence
interrupters
here
in
minneapolis?
So
we
have
the
ability
or
the
opportunity
to
be
able
to
fund
up
to
five
neighborhood
based
teams
of
15
to
20
people
staffed
in
particular
areas
during
critical
days
and
times
we
are
looking
at
two
north
side
teams.
One
divided
divided
between
the
highs
and
the
lows,
which
is
kind
of
how
the
gang
violence
is
divided
up.
K
Then
two
south
side
teams,
one
on
lake
street,
the
other
on
35th
through
42nd
and
chicago
that
area.
Two
nightlife
teams,
one
downtown
the
other
uptown
and
a
team
in
cedar
riverside
to
operationalize
this
through
the
end
of
the
year,
will
be
a
1.1
million
dollar
investment.
K
I
know
that.
That's
that,
that's
all
that's
a
lot
of
money
for
what
we're
talking
about
right
now,
but
this
and
this
investment
will
save
lives
by
preventing
the
violence
rather
than
simply
responding
to
it
once
the
harm
is
already
done.
I
also
just
want
to
speak
to
a
couple
of
other
and
other
in
office,
advanced
prevention,
investments
that
would
assist
in
shifting
the
paradigm
for
public
safety
in
our
our
community.
K
First,
we
need
about
250
000
to
allow
social
to
increase
social
service
referrals
for
clients
who
are
brought
in
through
the
cure
violence
strategy
allowing
for
us
to
be
able
to
have
that
work
come
in
house
and
it
allows
for
more
flexibility.
K
Folks,
who
are
participants
in
group,
violence,
intervention
next
step
and
hopefully
cure
violence?
They
need
help
finding
immediate
housing.
Sometimes
it's
because
of
the
fact
that
they're
living
out
of
their
cars
or
their
couch,
surfing
or
because
they're
not
safe,
where
they
are
so
folks,
cannot
be
stabilized
and
get
out
of
a
life
of
violence
and
crime,
because
they
cannot
access
housing
due
to
their
criminal
records
or
unlawful
detainers
on
their
rental
records.
K
So
we
need
some
additional
support
with
being
able
to
help
these
folks
get
stably
housed,
and
so
they
can
start
reestablishing
rental
histories.
The
last
thing
that
I'll
speak
to
is
the
office
of
violence
prevention
infrastructure.
Overall,
it
is
very
understaffed
in
ways
that
make
it
challenging
for
them
to
scale
up
impactful
work
at
the
at
the
least.
K
We
really
need
two
more
staff,
one
to
provide
the
day-to-day
management
of
service
reserve,
the
service
relationships
and
contracts
related
to
group,
violence,
intervention
next
step
and
cure
violence
and
the
other
to
help
provide
the
day-to-day
management
of
services,
relationships
and
contracts
related
to
sexual
assault,
sex
trafficking
and
domestic
violence.
The
the
cost
of
the
staffing
would
be
around
seven
one
hundred
seventy
thousand
council
member
connell
already
helped
to
address
the
five
hundred
thousand.
K
That
also
is
a
gap
with
being
able
to
boost
the
blueprint,
approved
institute
and
community-based
safety
strategies.
I
say
all
this
because
it's
important
for
us
to
get
specific
about
what
it
means
to
reimagine
public
safety
and
what
that
looks
like
in
practice.
We
said
as
a
council,
we
want
to
reimagine
public
safety,
and
this
is
our
pathway
forward.
I
ask
my
colleagues
to
work
with
me
to
address
these
urgent
needs
and
for
the
public
to
provide
feedback
as
we
move
forward.
K
I
will
share
all
of
the
information
and
more
specifics
publicly,
as
well
as
with
my
colleagues.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you
before
we
go
any
further.
I
want
to
go
back
to
the
last
vote.
I
understand
that
council
member
gordon
was
trying
to
vote,
but
couldn't
get
off
of
mute
to
do
so,
and
the
clerk
does
need
to
hear
his
voice
requesting
that
his
vote
on
the
last
motion
be
counted
so
council.
Member,
gordon,
are
you
there
now.
C
D
Okay,
well
really
appreciate
the
discussion
that
I
didn't
get
to
participate
in
more
fully
and
excited
about
the
cure,
violent
issue.
I
do
want
to
vote
yes
on
the
last
item
and
I
apologize
for
technical
difficulties.
B
Thank
you,
mr
clerk.
Is
that
sufficient
for
for
recording
for
the
last
item.
D
R
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
so
I
just
wanted
to
speak
real
quickly.
You
know
part
of
the
reason
I've
been
referring
to
this
budget
that
we're
working
on
now
as
the
coronavirus
budget,
it's
outside
of
our
normal
bargaining
process,
and
I
think
that
sometimes
the
public
doesn't.
It
doesn't
quite
know
that,
but
we're
going
to
be
sort
of
having
another
budget
conversation
just
in
the
next
couple
of
weeks
here.
R
But
I
do
think
it's
important
for
us
to
take
advantage
of
this
this
anomaly
and
this
opportunity
to
really
check
in
with
what
the
city's
needs.
D
R
Councilmember
cunningham
spoke
to
the
fact
that
we're
not
the
only
city
seeing
this
rise
in
violent
crime,
but
we
are
seeing
it
and
we
know
that
this
is
common
in
cities,
especially
that
have
experienced
a
police
killing,
or
in
this
case
the
you
know,
the
murder
of
george
floyd,
specifically
as
we're
seeing
people
losing
faith
in
our
in
our
public
safety
and
our
current
public
safety
system
as
we're
seeing
communities
needing
support
because
of
the
increase
in
violent
crime.
R
We're
also
seeing,
quite
frankly,
our
police
force
express
a
deep
resentment
of
our
city
and
abandoning
our
city
we're
seeing
that
in
the
form
of
of
officers,
either
resigning
or
you
know,
making
claims
for
of
harm
that
they
themselves
caused
and
taking
advantage
of
that,
and
I
think
that
we're
now
looking
at
us
at
a
at
a
force
that
is
nowhere
near
the
designated
888
that
we
have
allocated
for,
and
I
had
some
huge
questions
about
whether
even
888
is
the
direction
that
we
need
to
be
headed
in
right
now.
R
But
regardless
of
whether
or
not
888
is
the
number
that
we
need
right
now
or
not.
We're
not
gonna
have
that
we're
gonna
have
well
under
that
amount
of
officers
on
the
force
between
now
and
the
foreseeable
future
and
in
the
meantime,
while
I'm
very
aware
that
the
the
department
is
probably
able
to
get
very
creative
about
how
to
spend
that
money
anyway.
R
I
do
think
that
it's
important
that
we
do
what
we
can
to
not
cut
positions
but
right
size,
the
department
to
what
it
actually
is,
so
that
we
can
free
up
any
amount
of
money
to
to
and
redeploy
it
into
parts
of
our
city
that
actually
want
to
serve
our
constituents
right
now,
and
so
I'm
going
to
be
working
on
that.
I
wanted
to
just
name
that
for
my
colleagues
again
with
the
extremely
short
timeline,
we
typically
have
months
to
sort
of
have
these
discussions
and
work
on
our
amendments.
R
We
don't
have
that
here
and
so,
if
people
are
wondering
why
do
things
seem
either
not
all
the
way
teed
up
or
or
a
little
undercooked?
That's
the
reason
why,
but,
despite
the
the
rapid
pace
of
which
we're
moving,
I
still
think
it's
important
for
us
to
take
an
inventory
of
what
our
city
needs
and
to
deploy
our
resources
to
those
parts
of
the
city
that
actually
want
to
support
us,
especially
when
it
comes
to
our
communities
experiencing
that
increase
in
violent
crime.
R
So
that's
all
I
wanted
to
say
and
and
and
and
signal
to
the
the
the
the
community,
the
broader
public
and
to
my
colleagues,
and
I
look
forward
to
having
those
discussions
moving
into
next
week.
B
Council
member
ellison
did
you
wanna?
Is
there
any
additional
detail
on
a
specific
proposal
that
you
want
to
share
at
this
time
or
are
you
adding
import
to
council
cunningham's
work
council,
member
cunningham's.
R
Work
I'll
absolutely
be
in
conversation
with
councilmember,
cunningham
and
others
about
work
that
we
think
needs
to
be
taken
to
scale
in
order
to
keep
our
communities
safe
right
now,
and
but
I
also
wanted
to
be
clear
that
I
that
I
do
feel
like
examining
that
sworn
number
is
the
place
to
do
that.
Right
now,.
B
Okay,
I
need
I
need
to
speak
up
here
and
mention
something
that
was
said
in
regards
to
what
I
think
you
mean
are
ptsd
claims.
But
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
I
have
that
accurate
before
I
do
council
member
ellison,
were
you
referring
to
the
a
rash
of
ptsd
claims
from
members
of
our
police
force.
R
I
was
referring
generally
to
the
fact
that
we
do
have
officers
for
whatever,
whatever
reason-
and
it's
not
my
place
to
say
what
that
reason
is.
But
we
do
have
officers
who
are
rushing
to
find
their
way
out
of
their
obligation
to
our
constituents
in
in
a
myriad
of
ways.
B
Okay,
I
I
do
need
to
say
that,
in
conversations
with
police
leadership,
they
do
assure
me
that,
despite
this
rash
of
additional
crime
and
violent
crime
that
they
still
do
show
up
every
day
to
work
and
to
respond
in
in
every
way
possible
across
our
city,
and
I
just
do
think
that
it's
dangerous
when
we're
making
other
kinds
of
assertations
or
allegations
about
motives
here
when
we
aren't
able
to
kind
of
have
a
more
robust
discussion
about
it.
Council
president.
R
Bender,
madam
chair,
real,
quick,
fair
point.
All
motives
aside.
I
do
think
that
we
are.
We
are
going
to
be
well
under
our
888
that
we
are
paying
for,
and
I
think
that
I
think
that
that,
with
the
urgency
of
violence
that
we're
seeing
this
summer,
I
do
think
that
it's
important
for
us
to
be
responsive
and
to
right
size.
The
the
the
force,
if
it's,
if
it,
especially
if
it
is
nowhere
near
averaging
that
888,
that
that
taxpayers
expect
in
that
and
that
we've
and
that
we've
allowed.
B
I
appreciate
that,
and
I
understand-
and
I
also
appreciate
that
when,
when
our
sworn
officers
are
out
on
disability,
even
if
it's
temporary
disability
due
to
post-traumatic
stress
disorder,
it
is
something
that
one
we
need
them
to
be
well
to
show
up
in
the
ways
that
we
want
them
to.
But
that
doesn't
take
any
that
there's
no
vacancy
savings
there
and
there's
certainly
no
vacancy
savings
when
we
need
to
backfill
them
with
overtime
of
the
other
kinds
of
sworn
force.
Council
president
bender.
I
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
wanted
to
comment
on
the
items
that
councilmembers,
fletcher
and
cunningham
have
described
and
just
share
very
briefly
what
I've
been
how
I've
been
talking
about
this
with
my
own
constituents
in
ward
10.,
and
I
know
we're
we're
gone
for
a
while
here
with
this,
but
I
do
think
this
topic
is
important
and
just
want
to
be
clear
where
I
am
at
for
transparency,
so
I
strongly
support
the
staff
shifts
that
council
member
fletcher
described.
I
appreciate
the
time
that
it's
taking
to
get
those
details.
I
You
know
ready.
I
I
will
note
that
you
know.
I
think
there
are
times
when,
when
everything
is
aligned
and
the
mayor
and
the
majority
of
the
council
and
staff
all
agree,
and
then
things
can
move
more
quickly,
even
in
even
in
that
scenario,
sometimes
there
are
a
number
of
barriers
or
processes
to
go
through
or
information
to
get.
I
So
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
I
know
councilmember
fletcher
has
been
working
in
good
faith
since
he
took
office
to
really
educate
himself
on
the
details
of
mpd
staffing,
I
think
among
council
members.
We
all
look
to
him
and
his
staff
among
the
council
members
that
that
really
understand
the
department
and
has
put
in
a
lot
of
effort
to
understand
the
department,
and
so
it's
not
for
lack
of
effort.
I
I
think
that
that
that
information
isn't
available
for
today-
and
I
do
also
just
want
to
note
that
you
know
asking
a
department
to
propose
how
to
cut
itself
is
challenging,
I
think,
for
any
department.
We
saw
some
of
that
in
the
15
cuts,
so
that
is
being
asked
across
the
board.
But
at
some
point
we
do
just
need
to
make
the
decisions
as
policy
makers,
and
so-
and
we
are,
I
think,
doing-
that
with
as
much
care
and
responsibility
as
possible
with
the
information
that
we
have.
I
So
you
know
so
I
just
wanted
to
say
that,
especially
in
terms
of
the
timing
and
the
level
of
detail
of
information
that
we
have,
but
having
more
support
from
the
mayor
will
make
things
go
faster.
I
I
I
also
wanted
to
say
that,
with
my
own
constituents,
I
have
acknowledged
the
shifting
staff
realities
within
the
police
department
and
so
have
felt
uncomfortable,
making
a
commitment
to
a
specific
financial
cut
number
in
part
because
of
the
the
dynamic
that
you,
madam
chair,
acknowledge
that
we
have
a
lower
force
on
the
street
for
a
number
of
reasons,
but
that
isn't
translating
into
cost
savings
for
the
city
and
just
wanting
to
really
understand
how
we're
re.
I
I
I
had
a
condition
to
tell
me
that
mpd
officers
said
they
weren't
going
to
enforce
property
crime
and
said,
like
I
hope
you
vote,
and
I
you
know
that's
of
course
super
inappropriate
for
any
staff
person
to
say,
but
I
think
especially
in
this
time,
where
we're
all
working
to
support
public
safety
and
make
sure
every
resident
of
our
community
feels
safe,
that
those
kinds
of
comments
really
exacerbate
the
issues
that
we
have,
and
that
happens
to
be
a
weekend
when
there
was
a
significant
amount
of
violence
in
my
ward
and
it
really
further
degrades
the
the
trust
and-
and
so
I
don't
want
to
make
too
much
of
one
statement.
I
But
I
know
that
we
have
heard
those
statements
over
the
years
and
it
may
be
part
of
what
councilman
ellison
is
referring
to
as
well.
I
also
wanted
to
note
that
you
know
I
think
you
know
getting
as
much
again
just
finally
getting
as
much
information
as
we
can,
you
know
from
the
departments
will
help
us
and
I've
appreciated
the
level
of
detail.
We've
been
able
to
get
from
finance
so
far.
I
B
Thank
you.
This
converse
the
the
idea,
the
intentions
around
vacancy
savings
around
if
we
have
a
police
force
that
is
more
reduced
than
we
had
planned
for
or
anticipated,
financially
speaking,
where
does
that
money
go
and
are
there
any
vacancy
savings?
B
I
did
want
to
just
ask
director
intramural
to
weigh
in
quickly
on
that,
just
so
that
we're
all
on
the
same
page
and
that
we're
thinking
about
this
appropriately,
so
director
intramil,
I
wanted
to
just
ask
you
to
help
us
weigh
in
a
little
bit,
because
there
we
did
make
some
changes
with
the
wage
and
hiring
freeze
that
impacts
the
amount
of
savings,
because
we're
accounting
it
for
that
initial
cost.
Containment
measure
part
of
this
budget
cycle.
G
Madam
chair,
thank
you
for
the
question,
so
a
caveat
on
the
front
end.
My
internet
has
been
dropping
in
and
out
so
I
didn't
hear
the
entire
conversation,
but
I'll
speak
generally
to
the
interaction
between
the
phase
two
cuts
and
any
vacancy
savings.
So
the
phase
one
cuts.
Excuse
me
in
any
vacancy
savings,
so
the
the
phase
one
cuts
did
include
off
the
top
of
my
head.
G
It's
it's
about
three
million
dollars
associated
with
the
the
hiring
freeze
and
the
wage
freeze
for
mpd,
and
so
what
that
represents
is
both
any
positions
that
were
vacant
as
of
about
may,
as
well
as
the
the
previously
budgeted
for,
but
now,
given
our
financial
situation
across
the
board
or
general
wage
increases
that
won't
be
happening
so
those
those
dollars
have
already
been
taken
out
of
the
mpd
budget
as
a
part
of
phase
one.
The
total
mpd
budget
reduction
was
about
8.6
million.
G
So
now
the
total
mpd
budget
is
is
around
184
million.
So
that's
the
the
first
point,
the
second
point
to
the
question
of
for
the
attrition
that
has
happened
since
where
we
are
not
for
any
department.
The
the
finance
department
is
not
capturing
savings
associated
with
vacancies
as
we
go,
but
rather
those
dollars
are
used
for
a
number
of
things,
be
they
payout
of
vacation
or
comp
time.
G
That's
been
accumulated
over
an
employee's
tenure
and
or
in
in
the
case
of
mpd,
because
it's
24
hour,
24
7
staffing
operation.
They
they're
in
many
cases,
used
for
overtime
to
backfill
those
productive
hours.
I
don't
have
an
analysis
in
front
of
me
to
share
with
you
in
terms
of
what
the
what
the
ratio
is
of
any
dollars
saved
through
the
attrition
over
the
remainder
of
the
year
and
what
would
need
to
be
still
used
and
what's
available
to
be
captured.
G
That's
something
that
we
could
work
with
mpd
finance
as
well
as
hr
on
in
the
in
the
coming
weeks.
But
it's
a
complicated
analysis
that
will
take
time.
B
Thank
you.
I
do
want
to
just
point
that
out
the
details
here
are
incredibly
important
and
they
matter,
and
I
really
wish
to
ask
my
colleagues
to
give
our
our
budget
staff
and
actually
all
of
our
city
staff
that
are
asked
to
respond
to
these
things,
an
appropriate
amount
of
time.
B
I
we
can't
keep
wearing
out
our
city
staff
the
way
that
we
are,
and
just
as
as
one
example
last
night,
still
being
on
the
phone
with
city
staff,
multiple
city
staff,
to
try
and
get
some
last
minute
things
in
for
today's
meeting.
We
need
to
give
people
more
time
and
we
need
to
if
we're
specific,
in
saying
what
we
need
to
do,
which
we
are,
and
I
really
think,
there's
so
much
common
ground
here
between
not
just
me
and
my
colleagues,
but
also
with
the
mayor's
office.
B
Then
we
also
need
to
get
really
serious
about
what
not
to
do
as
a
city
and
what
to
forgo
in
in
in
the
rest
of
this
year's
budget
or
in
next
year's
budget
or
anything.
So,
thank
you
for
being
mindful
of
that
council
president
bender,
you
had
one
additional
point
and
then
I'll
move
on
to
councilmember
johnson.
I
I
guess
thank
you
manager,
I
apologize
I
I
did
have
a
third
point
that
I
wanted
to
mention,
which
is
you
know.
I
think
all
of
these
things
are
so
interrelated
and
the
work
that
we
have
initiated
as
a
council
to
look
for
ways
we
can
shift
non-criminal
or
non-violent
crime
out
of
the
police
department's
budget
are
in
part
to
better
efficiently
use
those
resources
that
we
do
have,
especially
in
this
economic
crisis
for
policing,
and
so
I
you
know
I
want
to
be
clear.
I
I
believe
that
we
need
a
law
enforcement
presence
in
our
city
right
now
and
I
believe
it
is
more
efficient
and
effective
if
they
are
able
to
focus
on
preventing
and
responding
to
violent
crime,
and
it
is
one
of
the
reasons
that
I
have
long
supported.
Efforts
to
shift
non-violent
crime
and
non-criminal
calls
out
of
the
mpd
and
so
to
the
extent
again
that
city
leadership
can
get
on
the
same
page
about
that
it
will
go
faster.
If
the
mayor
is
more
supportive,
it
will
go
faster.
I
If
the
city
coordinator
is
more
supportive,
it
will
go
faster
if
the
departments
that
are
receiving
the
work
are
ready
to
go
like
councilmember
fletcher
has
asked
informally
and
now
formally
through
a
staff
direction.
It
will
go
faster
and
I
think
that
that
will
serve
our
whole
community
better.
So
we're
asking
for
tough
work
for
sure
no
question
integrating
policing
into
the
city
enterprise
when
it
has
been
so
separate
for
so
long
is
challenging
work,
but
we
have
done
transformational
work
in
other
departments
of
our
city.
I
Our
regulatory
services
department
completely
transformed
how
they're
approaching
rental
licensing
our
transfer,
our
public
works
department.
A
giant
department
has
completely
transformed
how
it
approaches
street
design
and
those
changes
took
time,
but
they
also
took
commitment
and
leadership
and
agreement
among
leaders,
and
so
you
know,
I
think
sometimes
we
say
we
agree,
and
I
just
I
want
to
say
if
we
we
agree.
S
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
you
you
spoke
to
this
as
well,
but
I
didn't
want
you
to
be
the
only
elected
leader
bringing
this
up
and
putting
aside
the
questions
around
the
budget
and
the
authorized
amount.
There's
a
lot
of
stigma
around
mental
health.
That's
out
there.
S
I
think
we
all
have
a
real
responsibility
to
try
to
reduce
that
stigma
and
when
it
comes
specifically
to
ptsd
a
lot
of
people
when
they
think
of
that
stigma,
they
think
that
there's
some
sort
of
inherent
weakness
involved
with
trying
to
seek
treatment
if
they
have
symptoms
and
are
concerned
that
they
might
have
ptsd,
and
we
have
so
many
city
staff
that
are
putting
themselves
out
there
every
day
and
are
at
risk
of
that.
We
have
community
members
that
experience
ptsd.
S
We
we
need
to
take
that
seriously
and
any
of
our
our
city
staff.
That
think
they
might
have
that.
I
want
them
to
hear
from
us
that
we
support
them
in
seeking
the
help
that
they
need
and
that
there's
a
process
around
that
and
that
it's
not
in
contradiction
with
their
commitment
to
the
city
or
their
service.
S
But
in
fact,
seeking
help
for
any
mental
health
issue,
whether
it's
ptsd
depression,
anxiety,
addiction
is
necessary
to
honoring
and
fulfilling
their
commitment
to
the
people
of
minneapolis
and
and
if
anybody
has
concerns
about
mental
health,
please
please
seek
professional
health.
It
is
so
critical.
We
want
our
workforce
to
be
healthy
so
that
they
can
fully
honor
that
commitment.
Thank
you.
L
Thank
you
chuck
palmesano,
and
I
I
think
I
wanted
to
expand
a
little
bit
on
what
several
of
my
colleagues
have
talked
about
and,
and
specifically
your
call
for
a
little
bit
of
specificity
and
sort
of
thinking
about.
How
do
we
talk
about
the
budget
and
how
do
we
provide
a
level
of
guidance
about
what
information
would
be
helpful
as
we
as
we
think
about
the
decision
making
that
we
have
ahead
of
us
in
the
next
week?
L
You
know
last
week
that
asks
for
some
ideas
and
if
those
ideas
do
come
to
us
in
a
way
that
seems
like
they're
worth
considering
for
for
funding,
if
there's
something
that
could
be
stood
up
quickly,
then
that's
something
that
I
think
we
we're
gonna
need
some
information
about
about
the
status
of
mpd's
current
operations
right,
because
what
we
know
is
that
when
we
voted
for
a
budget
in
december,
we
voted
for
payroll
for
888
and
in
fact
the
sort
of
operating
theory
of
the
budget
deal
that
we
struck
was
to
try
to
stabilize
that
funding
level.
L
I
think
that
we
have
then
an
opportunity
to
have
a
little
bit
of
public
discussion
and
a
little
bit
of
policy
maker
buy-in
about
do.
We
support
that
much
getting
spent
on
overtime.
What
does
that
staffing
curve
look
like?
Do
we
really
need
that
much
overtime
in
december,
for
example,
when
things
are
likely
to
be
quieter,
especially
because
it
seems
like
a
lot
of
public
events
are
still
not
happening.
We
don't
have
vikings
games,
etc.
L
You
know
when
we
look
at
previous
staffing
years
and
could
some
of
the
money
that
is
not
getting
spent
on
payroll
that
we
had
approved
for
payroll.
You
know
get
put
into
other
kinds
of
violence
prevention
strategies
if
those,
if
those
ideas
are
there,
I
think
it
is
important
to
me
that
we
really
focus
those
efforts
on
things
that
do
take
pressure
off
of
mpd
one
way
or
the
other,
whether
it's
overtime
or
whether
it's
alternative
responses.
L
I
think
it's
important
that
we'd
be
focused
on
public
safety.
I
don't
want
to
just
see
us
funding.
You
know
whatever
thing
we're
interested
in,
I
think
it's
very
important
that,
like
people
are
asking
us
to
transform
public
safety,
so
we
need
to
be
investing
into
that
in
this
conversation,
but
I
think
it'll
help
us
to
make
an
assessment
about
whether
we
have
room
in
the
budget
and
whether
we
agree
with
the
way
mpd
might
be
proposing
to
adapt
their
budget
to
unexpected
attrition.
L
If
we
can
have
a
sort
of
adjusted
representation
of
you
know
what
the
transition
costs
are
for
people
who
are
leaving
unexpectedly
what
you
know
how?
How
are
we
accounting
for
all
of
that,
and
where
is
where?
Is
that
money
actually
going?
And
I
recognize
that
there's
not
necessarily
a
ton
of
immediate
savings
in
even
in
a
lot
of
people
leaving.
L
But
I
think
it
would
be
helpful
for
us
to
have
a
representation
of
that
so
that
we
kind
of
understand
what
parameters
we're
working
with
and
what
trade-offs
we're
making.
If
we
make
choices
about
different
investments
in
public
safety
than
just
the
sort
of
default
overtime
assumption.
L
So
that
would
be
my
sort
of
specific
guidance
to
staff
around.
What
kind
of
guidance
would
be
helpful
to
policymakers
over
the
next
week,
as
we
think
about
moving
forward.
B
Thank
you,
and-
and
I
want
to
acknowledge,
council
member
fletcher,
as
vice
chair
of
this
committee-
and
I
appreciate
your
scaling,
your
initiatives
to
the
needs
and
the
complexity
of
your
proposals
and
well,
I
know
you're
anxious
about
excited
about
moving
them
forward,
to
just
make
sure
that
all
of
the
details
are
in
there.
B
B
On
july
24th
please
work
and
have
conversations
with
departments
please
work
and
have
conversations
with
the
mayor's
office.
There
is
so
much
common
ground
here
that
we
all
agree
on.
I
just
think
we
could
make
a
lot
of
progress,
but
it
it
does
take
time
to
have
all
of
those
conversations
with
each
other
and
and
with
other
staff.
B
B
We
are
scheduled
to
conduct
a
second
public
hearing
on
the
proposed
budget
next
wednesday
july
22nd
at
10
am
following
the
close
of
that
hearing.
We'll
have
the
opportunity
to
consider
any
further
and
final
amendments
after
that
staff
will
finalize
those
for
final
action
at
the
adjourned
meeting
that
is
planned
for
next
friday,
which
is
one
week
from
today
on
july,
24th,
beginning
at
9
30
a.m.
B
On
behalf
of
all
of
us,
I
want
to
extend
my
genuine
thanks
to
mr
intermil
and
his
team
for
their
work,
and
also
mr
carl,
our
city
clerk,
to
help
shepherd
through
all
of
these
revisions
and
amendments.
This
is
difficult
work
for
us
as
policy
makers,
but
it
is
difficult
work
for
all
of
our
staff
here
as
well.
Are
there
any
final
comments
from
council
members
before
we
adjourn
seeing
none?
I
will
declare
this
meeting
adjourned.
Thank
you,
everyone
and
have
a
good.
