B
Thank
you
good
afternoon,
I'm
Lisa
bender
on
the
chair
of
the
policy
and
government
oversight
committee
I'm,
going
to
call
to
order
a
regular
committee
meeting
for
May
13th
I
will
note
for
the
record
that
this
meeting
has
remote
participation
by
council
members
and
city
staff
as

under
the
Minnesota
Open
Meeting
Law
Section

At

I'll

the
presence
of
a
quorum
council.
D
C
E
C
C
B
That
we
have
a
quorum.
There
are
three
public
hearings
on
our
agenda
today.
The
first
hearing
is
on
the
proposed
project,
approval
and
associated
assessments
in
the
amount
totaling
three
hundred
fifty
eight
thousand
and
thirteen
dollars
for
the
third
Avenue
South
and
Clinton
residential
street
resurfacing.
Project
will
begin
with
a
presentation
from
Public
Works
staff,
and
here
to
present
is
mr.
Kennedy.
It
was
the
director
of
Transportation
maintenance
and
repair.
Thank
you.
F
D
You,
madam
chair
again,
I'm
Mike
Kennedy
and
the
director
of
our
transportation
maintenance,
repair
division
that
performs
these
resurfacing
projects
today
over
here.
The
first
public
hearing
is
on
the
third
Avenue
South
and
Clinton
residential,
paving
project
on
December
13th
2019,
the
City
Council
designated
the
location
space
and
improvements
for
the
2020
street
resurfacing
program.
This
project
is
part
of
that
annual
program.
The
project
consists
of
the
streets
as
on
the
map
on
your
screen.
D
It's
basically
3rd
Avenue,
south
and
17th
Street
East
down
to
27th
Street
West
and
25th
Street
and
Clinton
Avenue
in
the
old
previous
Clinton
residential
project.
The
room
host
street
resurfacing.
Special
assessments
were
determined
by
applying
the
2020.
Uniform
assessment
relates
to
the
land
area
of
benefited
parcels
located
within
the
street
influence
area
along
the
privates
or
post
streets.
These
assessments
are
not
calculated
based
on
project
cost
alone.
The
city
uses
a
formula
that
combines
influence
area
with
an
annually
established
uar.
A
uniform
assessment
may
be.
D
This
formula
is
carefully
considered
and
applied
by
city
staff
and
is
intended
to
account
for
and
reflect
each
projects,
value
of
event
to
the
benefit
of
properties.
The
2020
resurface
and
rates
that
are
applied
are
66
cents
per
square
foot
for
non
residential
properties
and
22
cents
per
square
foot
for
residential
properties.
D
The
proposed
total
assessment
I'm
offered
a
30
Evan
Oakland
residents.
Residential
street
project
is
380
58,000
$13.20
individual
assessments
over
$150
will
begin
collection
on
the
2021
real-estate
statements
and
tax
statements
with
interests
charge
at
3.7
percent
and
assessments
of
$150
or
less
would
be
collected
in
their
entirety.
On
the
2021
real
estate
assessment
rates
at
3.6
percent
information
has
been
provided
in
the
notices
of
the
how
persons
may
prepay
the
special
assessments
in
full
without
interest
if
they
so
choose.
D
We
held
offered
and
held
a
community
meeting
on
Wednesday
May
6,
but
we
didn't
have
anybody
attend
that
meeting
so
today,
our
our
goal
is
to
passage
of
resolution
ordering
the
work
to
proceed
in
adopting
special
assessments
in
the
amount
of
three
hundred
and
fifty
eight
thousand
thirteen
dollars
and
20
cents
for
the
third
Avenue
project
and
passage
of
a
resolution
requesting
the
board
of
estimate
and
Taxation
authorized.
The
city's
issuance
and
sale
of
assessment
bonds
in
that
same
amount.
B
I,
don't
see
any?
We
don't
have
any
members
of
the
public
signed
up
to
speak
on
this
item,
but
I'll
just
pause
and
make
sure
I
get
them
that
there's
no
one
on
the
phone
that
would
like
to
speak.
I,
don't
hear
anything
that
I
will
officially
open
the
public
hearing
and
just
check
one
last
time.
If
there's
anyone
who
wants
to
speak
I'm
hearing,
none
I
will
close
the
public
hearing.
So
there
were
no
questions
or
comments
and
no
one
signed
in
to
speak.
May
I
have
a
motion
on
this
item
so.
C
E
C
E
B
Carries
and
that
item
will
be
referred
to
the
City
Council
meeting
on
Friday.
The
second
carries
on
a
proposed
project
approval
and
associated
assessments
in
the
amount
totaling
four
to
fifty
three
thousand
five
hundred.
Seventy
one
dollars
for
the
North
Loop
resurfacing
project,
but
I'll
invite
mr.
Kennedy
again
to
give
that
staff
report.
Thank.
D
You
again,
madam
president,
again
on
December
13
2019,
the
City
Council
designated
location
streets
improvements
for
this
year.
The
2020
street
resurfacing
projects
of
which
the
North
Loop
project
is
part
of
the
streets
affected
by
this
project
are
shown
on
the
map
that
you
can
see
on
your
screen.
Essentially,
several
of
the
streets
down
in
the
new
North
Loop
area
of
downtown.
The
city
is
also
coordinating
pedestrian
bicycle
improvements
in
the
North
Loop
project
area,
with
the
research
network,
the
planning,
design
and
outreach
for
these
improvements
they're
being
completed
in
a
separate
but
coordinated
effort.
D
With
this
project.
There
are
no
assessments
associated
with
those
improvements.
There
are
also
several
other
public
and
private
overlapping
projects
in
the
project
area
that
will
be
impacting
the
public
right-of-way
in
2020.
It's
a
very
busy
place
this
year
again,
the
temporary
relocation
of
the
commutator
building
on
North,
2nd,
Avenue
and
North
first
will
occur
in
twenty
and
twenty-one
CenterPoint
Energy
also
has
2800
feet
of
new
gas
main
and
28
serves
gas
service
installations.
The
North
Loop
pedestrian
improvement
project
work
has
yet
to
complete
in
this
area.
D
It's
mostly
done,
but
there's
a
little
bit
of
work
left
and
there's
a
first
Street
bridge
over
Bassett
Creek
reconstruction
project,
or
it's
basically
a
realigning
of
massive
Greeks
tongue
there.
That
will
have
very
little
impact
here,
but
there
will
be
work
going
on
there.
As
such
portions
of
the
North
Loop
resurfacing
project
will
be
postponed
until
2021.
Eleven
all
other
conflict
work
in
the
area
is
completed,
sort
of
be
able
to
do
some
of
the
work
this
year,
but
postponed
some
of
it
until
next
year.
D
Public
work
plans
on
starting
with
some
of
this
work
in
2020,
where
there
aren't
any
conflicts,
project,
scope
and
schedules
are
being
developed.
So
it's
too
early
to
be
able
to
accurately
predict
what
areas
will
be
postponed
at
this
time.
All
project
assessments
will
be
delayed
until
tax
year
2022
using
the
2020
assessment
rates.
Therefore,
the
property
owners
will
not
be
burdened
with
any
additional
assessment
costs
due
to
any
potential
growth
in
the
uniform
assessment
rate
due
to
the
staging
of
the
work
over
two
years
again,
the
proposed
street
resurfacing.
D
Special
assessments
were
determined
by
applying
the
2020
uniform
assessment
rate.
At
the
same
months,
that
I
had
enumerated
before
all
of
the
the
total
assessment
amount
for
this
project
is
four
hundred
and
fifty
three
thousand
five
hundred
seventy
one
dollars
and
ninety
cents
and
the
interest
rates
and
payments
and
potentials
for
deferments
and
other
options
are
all
the
same
as
I
had
talked
about
at
the
last.
D
So
today
we
proposed
passage
of
resolution
ordering
the
work
to
proceed
in
adopting
special
assessments
in
the
enumerated
amount
for
this
project
and
passage
of
resolution,
requesting
the
board
of
estimate
and
Taxation
authorized
the
city's
issuance
and
sale
of
assessment
bonds
in
the
amount
of
forty
three,
fifty
three
thousand
five
hundred
seventy
one
dollars
and
ninety
cents
for
this
project.
Again
I'm
here
to
answer
any
questions
if
needed,.
B
B
A
Thank
You
council
president
bender
I
just
want
to
thank
staff
for
all
their
work
on
this.
There
are
some
significant
improvements
that
the
North
Loop
has
waited
a
long
time
to
see
happen
and
some
safety
items
that
are
being
addressed
as
a
part
of
this
project
that
people
are
very
excited
about.
So
I'm
happy
to
move
approval
of
this
item
and
just
share
the
gratitude
I've
heard
from
many
North
Loop
residents
about
the
good
planning.
That's
gone
into
this
project.
G
E
C
B
B
Areas
all
will
be
referred
to
the
council
meeting
on
Friday.
This
brings
us
to
our
third
and
final
hearing
today,
which
is
the
proposed
project,
approval
and
associated
assessments
in
the
amount,
totaling
191,000,
nine,
nine
hundred
eighty
dollars
for
the
Rollins
and
Elm
Street
southeast
resurfacing
project
and
we'll
have
mr.
Kennedy
give
this
report
as
well.
D
Again,
thank
you
again,
madam
chair
and
members
of
the
committee.
One
more
again.
It's
the
same
part
of
the
same
project
destination
for
resurfacing
for
2020.
This
particular
one
is
for
Rollins
and
Elm
Street
southeast.
These
are
a
group
of
streets.
Oh,
can
we
get
their
map
number
three
up?
Please!
Oh
it
this!
Is
it
something's
wrong
here
it's
labeled
Rollins
now,
but
it's
showing
our
flu.
D
D
The
proposed
resourcing
rates
report
were
a
special
assessments
work
there
there's
the
right
project
there.
Thank
you
very
much
benefit
of
park
was
located
within
Street
influence
with
along
these
improved
streets
using
the
2020
uniform
assessment
rates
again
of
66
square
feet
for
non-residential
and
22
cents
per
square
foot
residential,
the
same
payment
options
and
deferment
potentials
are
available
for
this,
as
I
had
discussed
in
the
other
public
areas.
So
our
recommendation,
then,
is
for
passage
of
resolution
ordering
the
work
to
proceed
and
adopting
special
assessments
in
the
amount
of
one
hundred.
D
B
E
I'm
happy
to
move
approval
of
this
item
and
also
I'm
grateful
as
well
that
a
community
engagement
to
public
works
did
this
is
a
project
that's
right
near
on
University
access
points
over
in
Ward
2
and
the
bicycle
improvements
are
gonna,
make
a
big
difference
as
well
as
the
street
improvements.
So
I
move
this
board
for
approval.
E
C
E
H
C
B
Carries
and
that
will
be
14
severe
cuts
meeting
on
Friday.
That
concludes
the
public
hearings
on
today's
agenda.
Thank
you
again.
Mr.
Kennedy
for
those
presentations
will
now
move
on
to
our
consent
agenda.
This
includes
those
items
that
have
been
determined
to
be
matters
but
do
not
require
a
separate
discussion.
But
please,
let
me
know
if
you'd
like
to
pull
any
items
from
the
consent
agenda
which
I
reviewed
for
the
record.
B
Final

assault,
evidence
kits

well
as

Results.
Final

authorizes
a
grant
application
to
the
United
States
Department
of
Justice
for
coronavirus;
emergency
supplemental
funding
in
the
amount
of
1
million
six
hundred.
B
Sixty-Five
thousand
four
hundred
seventy
six
dollars,
pegye
fourteen
authorizes
an
amendment
to
attempt
for
a
construction
easement
agreement
with
the
University
of
Minnesota
for
a
new
water
main
near
the
tenth
Avenue
Bridge
and
a
fifteen
is
a
contract
amendment
in
a
revised
amount
not
to
exceed
1.5
million
dollars
with
Safety
Science
LLC
for
the
rental
of
traffic
control
devices.
Item
16
is
acceptance
of
the
low
built
bid
from
Meyer
Contracting,
incorporated
totally
1.6
million
dollars
to
provide
all
materials,
labor
equipment
and
incidentals
for
the
bridge.
B
A
Thank
You
councillor
dent
I,
don't
want
to
pull
the
item,
but
I
did
want
to
comment
briefly
on
item
15,
because
I
did
get
some
constituent
questions
about
this.
Obviously,
there's
been
some
discussion
about
in
general.
The
costs
of
you
know
renting
signs
and
markers
and
and
doing
a
lot
of
the
work
that
is
happening
in
street
modifications
both
for
day-to-day
construction
projects
and
also
for
adaptations
that
we've
made
to
create
pedestrian
space
during
the
pandemic,
and
it
is
a
lot
of
money
and
I.
A
Think
people
are
raising
some
good
questions
about
whether
this
kind
of
equipment,
rental
arrangement
is
the
best
way
to
do
this
and
whether
there
might
be
better
options
and
so
as
we
move
forward.
I
don't
want
to
hold
it
up
now
because
we're
making
this
contract
amendment
in
response
to
an
emergency
and
the
need
is
timely
and
I.
A
Don't
want
to
slow
things
down,
but
I
think
there's
some
value
in
looking
for
the
long
run
when
we
get
to
the
stage
of
you
know
renewing
this
contract
or
putting
this
out
for
RFP
again
to
think
about.
If
there
might
be
more
cost-effective
ways
for
the
city
in
the
long
run,
to
manage
our
sort
of
traffic
management
and
I
think
the
points
from
constituents
are
well
taken
and
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
part
of
this
conversation,
even
as
we
move
forward
today,.
B
Thank
You
councilmember
Fletcher
I
had
a
similar
conversation
with
Public
Works
about
this
and
learned
a
lot
about
the
costs
related
to
sign
rental
and
why
we
typically
use
that
approach.
Is
there
anyone
for
public
works?
Who
would
like
to
chime
in
now
on
this
call?
Otherwise
we
can
follow
up
with
councilmembers
as
well,
who
may
have
similar
questions.
I
Council
president,
this
is
Robin
Hutchison
I
can
provide
a
brief
commentary.
The
item
before
you,
this
uses
our
existing
contract
to
cover
costs
associated
with
traffic
control
that
was
provided
on
East
River
Parkway
related
to
a
soil
displacement
event
that
happened
and
also
for
the
growing
need
for
additional
traffic
control
devices
related
to
our
kovat
response.
I
There
are
a
number
of
reasons
why
we
contract
this
out
and
it
is
largely
because
our
needs
expand
and
contract,
certainly
seasonally,
and
the
cost
of
the
city
of
having
a
staff
and
equipment
and
storage
for
an
activity
that
expands
and
contracts
so
significantly
over
different
seasons
has
proven
to
be
the
most
of
costs.
Cost
effective
has
proven
in
the
past
to
be
contracting.
I
F
You,
madam
president,
my
comments,
I
I,
wanted
to
comment
on
this
item
as
well.
My
comments
are
less
about
the
cost,
though
there
is
certainly
concern
around
that,
but
more
so
from
constituents
that
they
feel
like
the
signage
or
the
way
the
signage
has
been
sort
of
placed
and
distributed
in
communities
is
inequitable.
F
That
seems
as
if
in
poor
communities
that
the
signs
are
sort
of
haphazard
or
blocking
people's
abilities
to
walk
and
ambulate
around
the
traffic
signage
I've
noticed
myself
and
I.
Think
I
commented
on
it
last
week
that
some
the
signs
that
we
have
been
placing
up
in
regards
to
our
response
for
the
co-ed
crisis
has
been
being
damaged
by
by
trucks
and
vehicles,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
bring
that
item
and
that
issue
into
awareness
certainly
don't
want
to
pull
this
off
the
consent
agenda
today.
F
B
Thank
You
counsel,
mr.
president,
I
also
see
if
Public
Works
wants
to
chime
in
I
do
know
that
before
the
safe
streets
open
that
staff
had
offered
to
brief
all
the
council
members
both
about
the
site
selection
and
the
implementation
so
and
I
really
appreciated
that
extra
attention
for
every
every
single
customer.
As
now
we're
all
on
the
Pogo
Committee
for
an
item
that
would
have
normally
gone
through
tpw
as
folks,
you
know
get
familiarized
with
the
items
that
usually
come
through
each
other's
committees
and
I.
I
There
is
actually
city
staff
deploying
our
own
city
devices
that
we
more
or
less
scrounged
from
the
yard
that
can
be
used
on
local
streets,
we're
aware
that
some
of
them
have
been
moved
or
hit,
and
that
has
happened
to
a
small
degree
on
each
one
of
routes
and
we
are
able
to
go
and
pick
those
up
and
fix
them
and
we're
noticing
that
neighbors
are
also
playing
a
part
in
picking
them
up
and
fixing
them.
Council.
Vice-President,
you
noted
some
communication
you
received.
I
B
D
B
K
Thank
you.
Madam
president.
Just
a
little
bit
of
background
for
this.
The
Minneapolis
Health
Department
received
a
little
over
$400,000
from
the
State
Health
Department
for
Ovid,
19
response
work
and
based
on
consultation.
We
had
with
a
number
of
policy
makers.
We
set
aside
a
hundred
thousand
of
that
grant
to
be
designated
for
direct
community
support
through
an
RFA
process,
and
so
the
design
was
that
applicants
could
apply
for
up
to
fifteen
thousand
dollars
each
to
work
with
cultural,
underserved
and
vulnerable
communities.
K
K
K
One
is
that
a
great
majority
of
the
proposals
had
to
do
with
food
security,
and
most
of
the
organizations
were
not
in
the
business
per
se
of
providing
food
normally
or
it
was
an
adjunct
to
what
they
were
doing.
And
so
we
are
tasking
a
team
of
folks
to
look
at
the
overall
system
of
food
access
in
the
city
to
see
if
there
are
other
ways
that
we
can
support
or
coordinate
the
work
of
that
group.
K
Much
broader
than
the
violence
prevention
community
as
a
result
of
this
RFA
and
we're
wondering
if
the
neighborhood
2020
plan
and
some
of
the
investment
in
community
organizations
could
use
a
model
like
the
blueprint
Institute
as
they
try
and
build
a
greater
community
capacity
within
community-based
organizations.
So
I'll
stop
there
for
questions
or
comments.
K
F
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
thank
you
permission
of
music
and
and
really
empathize
with
your
team's
challenge,
trying
to
meet
billion
dollars
worth
of
me
with
$100,000.
That's
gotta,
be
it's
a
very
difficult
position
to
the
end
and
I
mean
I
was
really
struck
by
the
fact
that
most
of
the
support
is
supporting
food
insecurity
and
I
and
I
absolutely
know
that
our
seniors
are
vulnerable
populations,
and
this
this
whole
system
issue
that
you
identified
around
food
is
a
little
concerning
and
confusing
to
me.
F
F
What
other
resources
I'm
I
know?
We
don't
have
a
ton
of
resources
at
the
city
to
try
to
address
this,
so
it'll
be
interesting
to
see
how
we,
how
we
come
forward.
I
mean
I,
appreciate
the
flexibility
and
some
of
the
violence
prevention
funds,
but
we
really
need
to
be
targeting
our
resources
towards
these
really
communities
and,
as
I
stated
in
my
initial
comments,.
K
Thank
You
councilmember
Jenkins,
madam
chair,
if
I
might
I,
think
your
comments
about
the
the
school
food
program
really
illustrate
some
system
issues
we
need
to
work
on.
So
is
that
a
lack
of
awareness
on
the
part
of
families
I
know
that
that
food
is
is
to
be
made
available
or,
as
is
being
offered
to,
families
who
are
not
necessarily
do
not
have
children
that
are
enrolled
in
public
schools
but
other
other
families
as
well
and
yeah?
The
all
the
supports
that
are
going
to
food
shelves
and
so
on.
B
F
K
Madame,
chair
councilmember,
my
council,
vice
president
Jenkins
I,
will
have
to
get
back
to
you
a
little
bit
more
on
the
specific
details.
I
know
that
when
I
talked
to
the
the
teams
that
had
reviewed
the
the
RFA's
in
in
a
number
of
cases,
there
were
good
programs
in
place
that
these
dollars
would
really
expand
the
availability
of
those
programs,
and
so
they
were
building
on
other
programs.
But
I
will
have
folks
describe
a
little
bit
more
about
that
program
and
get
that
to
you.
Thank.
G
G
The
MPs
is
donating
their
food
kits
to
other
food
shelves
in
my
ward
that
are
so
so.
I
know
that
there's
food
available,
and
so
you
know
I
so
I,
just
kind
of
wonder
like.
Are
we
duplicated
something
that
doesn't
need
to
be
duplicated
and
said?
As
you
mentioned,
we
need
to
build
that
system
of
awareness.
We've
been
putting
it
out
that
information
out
we've
been
trying
to
advertise
it
within
within
our
network
as
a
ward
office,
and
so
that's
that's
a
little
bit
of
a
concern
around
that
duplication.
G
So
I
know
that
we
want
to
get
the
dollars
out
of
the
door
quick,
because
it's
a
crisis,
so
we
need
a
rapid
response.
I
would
just
say
that
like
I
have
a
very
serious
concern
about
the
fact
that
we
don't
have
resources
going
to
any
Northside
based
organizations
nor
groups
that
are
specifically
serving
black
communities.
G
They
are
doing
senior
nutrition
like
they're,
trying
to
do
all
of
those
things
and
they're
there.
They
don't
have
that
all
of
the
funding
necessary
to
meet
those
needs,
and
so
in
fact,
they're
being
asked
by
other
city
departments
to
donate
money
towards
other
organizations
and
they
don't
like
they.
They
need
that
help
because
they're
already
doing
that
work
and
they
know
the
neighbors
they're
deeply
connected
to
the
community,
and
so
you
know
I
I.
Just
you
know,
I
guess:
I
guess.
G
The
question
is
because
you
know
I
looked
through
the
racial
equity
impact
analysis
and
it
still
wasn't
quite
clear
to
me
like
what
was
the
racial
equity
analysis
in
this,
and
you
know,
because
you
know
when
we're
in
crisis-
and
we
need
to
do
things
fast.
Sometimes
raise
equity
is
the
first
thing
that
goes
out
the
window
because
it
slows
things
down,
it
requires
more
intentionality
and
so
I
would
say
like
what
is
like
what
was
the
racial
equity
analysis?
And
you
know
what
is
the
timeline
for
the
violence,
prevention
dollars
and
I?
G
Guess:
I
guess
I,
just
like
have
a
little
bit
of
a
concern
with
leaning
into
violence
prevention
to
be
the
fund
of
money
that
goes
towards
Northside
and
black
black
LED
black
serving
organizations
because,
like
yeah
I
guess,
I
just
have
a
concern
around
like
those
two
things
being
blended.
So
what
was
the
racial
equity
analysis
and
what
is
the
timeline
for
the
violence
prevention
dollars?.
K
G
I'll
just
say
that,
like
we're
here
right
now
talking
about
one
fund
of
money
that
is
going
towards
Kovac
19
responds
and
if
the
violence
prevention
dollars
are
also
the
office
of
violence
prevention
fund
dollars
are
also
going
towards
co-ed
responses.
We're
not
having
that
same
conversation
right
now
and
so
I
like
separating
those
two
and
kind
of
saying
that
the
violence
prevention
dollars
are
going
to
address
the
kovat
19
response.
G
We're
gonna
also
turn
to
the
violence
prevention
fund
to
be
able
to
do
that
to
be
able
to
address
those
gaps,
and
so
you
know
where
is
that
information
available
so
that
we
we
can
have
those
conversations
at
the
same
time,
because
this
list
is
just
very
concerning
for
me
as
a
standalone
document.
Seeing
this
it's
and
yet
looks
like
there
was
no
racial
equity
analysis
and
that
the
city
is
not
investing
in
Northside
black
as
well
as
blackleg
black
serving
organizations
that
are
doing
the
this
work
in
in
a
very
nuanced
community-led
way.
So.
B
Doctor,
if
I
can
just
sort
of
jump
in
here,
a
lot
of
concern
from
members
which
is
just
fine
I,
think
we.
We
should
give
the
director
a
chance
to
answer
further.
She
made
it
sounds
like
need
to
check
in
with
the
staff
that
made
these
recommendations
to
get
more
of
those
details.
I
would
suggest
if
council
members
want
to
propose
a
delay
or
other
actions
that
that
you
go
ahead
and
do
so
so
I'll
turn
it
over
to
dr.
K
F
G
Yes,
thank
you.
I
just
wanted
to
ask
for
clarification.
So
this
is
this
today.
Is
the
presentation
is
a
receive
and
file?
Do
we,
as
a
council,
have
the
authority
to
approve
the
money
being
allocated,
or
is
that
currently
outside
of
the
purview
of
our
our
legislative
powers
under
the
emergency
declaration.
B
H
H
It
also
is
broadly
worded
to
allow
for
the
expedited,
when
necessary,
incurrence
of
obligations
and
the
entering
of
contracts,
and
so
to
the
extent
that
there
is
an
imminent
need
and
a
necessary
need.
There
is
the
ability
to
streamline
this
process
through
the
emergency
regulation.
With
that
said,
I
am
always
of
the
that,
where
there
can
be
some
degree
of
consultation,
even
on
these
matters
with
the
council
that
that
is
warranted,
but
the
I
believe
the
emergency
regulation
would
apply
here.
B
G
So
yeah
I
mean
you
know,
the
money
is
is
being
allocated,
I,
don't
know
if
there's
really
an
action
that
we
can
take
today.
As
a
council,
you
know
I,
think
I've
expressed
the
concerns
and
for
us
to
be,
you
know,
taking
into
consideration
as
as
we're
moving
forward.
I.
Don't
really
think
at
this
point,
there's
much
that
we
can
do
as
a
council,
but
on
the
record
for
consideration.
G
The
concerns
that
have
been
addressed
or
that
have
been
expressed
hopefully
will
be
addressed
in
the
future,
and
I
am
available
to
be
able
to
help
provide
that
sort
of
analysis
and
recommendations
around
which
organizations
are
doing
what
kind
of
work
in
our
communities
force
more
specific
outreach
in
the
future.
Thank
you.
L
L
Staff
are
hearing
a
number
of
concerns,
and
probably
the
mayor's
office
is
hearing
this
too
and
perhaps
could
consider
figuring
out
where
the
need
is
greatest.
I
can
tell
you
it's
greatest
and
rental
assistance,
I'm
sure
the
council
president
can
tell
you
that
too
so
I,
don't
I,
don't
think
it's
a
good
idea
just
to
throw
the
money
out
there,
because
the
staff
had
some
sort
of
process
and
I
am
Not
sure
I
support
the
idea
of
just
shut
up.
We
don't
have
any
power
either.
L
B
Yeah
so
I
mean
I
think
we
have
a
number
of
options
of
how
to
proceed.
I
had
a
conflict
for
agenda-setting
this
week
at
poco,
but
I,
know,
council,
vice-president
and
council
member
Fletcher
were
there
and
able
to
talk
about
this
ahead
of
time
with
staff.
I
was
on
a
call
with
our
legislative
delegation
about
this
week's
urgent
decisions
around
funding
for
the
cares
Act
an
appropriate.
You
know
topic
related
to
this.
B
One
I
think
our
options
here
would
be
to
you
know,
to
make
a
direction
to
staff,
and
certainly
we
can
have
followup
with
staff
and
the
mayor's
office.
I
am
a
little
concerned.
I'll
just
state
two
concerns.
First
I
think
it's
we.
We
go
down
a
little
bit
of
a
difficult
road
anytime.
Policymakers
start
getting
too
involved
in
decisions
about
which
organizations
receive
funding
and
which
don't.
B
Obviously
we
do
that
sometimes,
but
I
think
it's
usually
better
when
staff
creates
a
process
and
the
policymakers
are
comfortable
with
and
are
able
to
make
those
decisions
more
at
the
staff
level.
I
think
it
removes
some
of
the
potential
conflicts
that
common
when
policy
maker
is
an
elected,
get
involved
directly.
So
that's
just
my
perspective
on
that
question.
B
Always
but
I
hear
that
there's
concern
about
the
criteria
that
were
used
or
the
process
I'm
a
little
concerned
about
the
organizations
that
have
been
identified
for
funding
I
know
that
many
of
our
nonprofits
and
all
of
our
communities
are
struggling
as
well,
along
with
everyone
else.
So
I'll
just
also
voiced
that
you
know
if
we
do
have
a
delay.
B
E
Thank
you
and
I
certainly
appreciate
this
discussion.
I
just
thought
I
could
weigh
in
to
help,
but
the
people
I
need.
You
understand,
we're
another
council
members
at
I
am
most
comfortable
proceeding
with
these
these
fundings
and
trying
to
figure
out.
How
can
we
make
sure
that
this
process
is
more
inclusive,
done
more
thoughtfully
and
a
little
more
carefully
moving
forward?
E
I
think
I
agree
with
council
vice
president
when
she
said
she
did
not
want
to
necessarily
hold
up
these
funds
at
this
time,
but
she
sure
wanted
us
to
drill
down
and
start
figuring
out
how
we
could
make
sure
to
target
the
better
in
the
future
and
be
more
inclusive.
I
can't
remember
all
the
terminology
but
get
to
the
most
vulnerable
and
so
I
think
we
do
have
an
opportunity
with
this
discussion
to
improve
steps
as
we
move
forward
and
by
letting
this
happen,
we're
still
responding
quickly
to
address
critical
needs
in
our
community.
B
E
B
You
councilmember
I
don't
see
anyone
else
in
queue
to
make
a
comment
or
motion
you
know
for
for
discussion
purposes,
I'll
go
ahead
and
move
to
receive
and
file.
The
item
and
I'll
see
if
there's
any
discussion
from
Council
members
again,
I
would
welcome
anything
that
a
councilmember
would
want
to
suggest
on
this
item.
B
I,
don't
see
any
further
discussion
so
I'll.
Take
that
to
mean
that
you
know
the
the
concerns
have
been
noted,
as
council
vice-president
suggested
looks
like
and
I
think
the
director
sounded
very
open
to
further
discussions
with
the
council
members
who
have
raised
issues
because,
especially
around
any
additional
future
funds
that
might
be
coming
forward.
I
appreciate
very
much
all
of
you
for
raising
them
and
for
being
willing
to
work
on
future
phases
of
funding.
So
with
that,
I
will
pause
once
one
last
time
to
make
sure
no
one
else
wants
to
say
anything.
E
C
G
C
G
B
G
Thank
you,
madam
president.
Excuse
me
I
was
like
you
know.
I
I
do
think
that
there
needs
to
be
a
concrete
action
from
today.
You
know
with
us
moving
forward,
and
so
I
would
say
that
I
I
would
like
to
bring
forward
a
staff
direction
and
I
can
type
this
out
and
send
it
out
to
folks
for
there
to
be
a
report
back
around
how
a
racial
equity
analysis
is
applied
for
what
the
hell
from
the
Health
Department
about
how
racial
equity
analysis
is
applied
for
allocating
dollars
to
community
organizations.
J
B
C
B
Yes,
so
let's
just
take
these
things,
one
at
a
time
so
Cal
Tamar
Cunningham,
is
suggesting
that
there'll
be
a
report
back
in
two
cycles,
as
council.
Vice
president
pointed
out
in
our
typical
calendar.
We
have
that
week
marked
as
award
work
week.
There
are
a
number
of
discussions
happening,
including
one
at
3:00
p.m.
during
a
policy
group
about
adjusting
our
calendar
coming
up
related
to
the
amended
budget
that
the
mayor
will
be
proposing
soon,
so
I
think
some
of
those
final
calendar
decisions
are
coming
yet
in
the
next
couple
of
days.
B
B
So,
as
we
kind
of
work
out
the
the
report
back
date,
I
do
see.
Councilmember
Fletcher
in
queue
and
I
also
want
to
pause
at
some
point,
maybe
after
that,
to
check
it
back
in
with
Commissioner,
music
and
I.
Also
just
know
just
for
my
own
kind
of
understanding,
and
also
for
my
colleagues.
The
RCA
for
this
item
did
not
include
a
list
of
identified
organizations.
B
What
it
did
was
outline
the
process
and
and
state
that
reviewers
would
be
making
recommendations
to
the
commissioner
of
health
for
a
decision
on
the
funding.
So
my
understanding
of
reading
the
RCA
prior
to
this
meeting
was
that
the
council
action
was
a
receive
and
file
of
that
process.
Description,
not,
for
example,
the
council
approving
these
specific
organizations
for
funding.
So
I
think
that's
the
origin
of
some
of
the
questions
that
my
colleagues
are
asking
and
the
intention
behind
this
staff
direction
as
well,
so
counsel
for
Fletcher.
A
Thank
You
president
bender
I
guess
I
just
wanted
to
ask,
because
in
the
RCA
also
there
was
a
race
equity
analysis,
which
is
something
that
we
asked
for
items
that
are
coming
before
the
council
and
that
was
included
in
the
RCA
and
so
I.
Just
wanted
to
I.
I
guess
make
sure
that
we
had
looked
at
that
and
see
how
what
we're
asking
for
in
the
staff
direction
would
be
different
from
what's
already
been
provided
as
part
of
the
RCA.
B
Thank
us
so,
at
this
point
sure
I
know
a
lot
of
things
being
asked
and
stated
I
think.
Maybe
you
need
to
turn
it
over
to
you
to
clarify
where
the
process
is
in
its
timeline,
and
so
what
communications
have
happened
with
the
organizations
that
were
identified
and
then
any
thoughts
you
have
about
the
race
equity
analysis
piece.
B
K
K
Welcome
the
staff
direction
the
spec,
which
is
the
committee
that
we
have
created
within
our
instant
management
team
of
community
voices,
to
bring
bring
those
into
our
process.
They
are
also
working
on
an
equity
analysis
and
so
I
think
that
that
will
dovetail
well
with
a
presentation
to
you
about
our
staff
process
and
I.
Think
it
will
be
enriched
by
by
their
work
on
that
and
hope
that
their
work
is
timed
sufficiently.
K
Madam
chair,
the
group
is
meeting
tonight
council
vice
president
Jenkins
also
attends,
and
so
I
will.
I
was
just
briefed
on
their
launching
of
that
work
today,
a
little
bit
earlier
and
so
I
will
certainly
get
a
better
handle
of
their
timeline
and
share
with
them
how
it
might
dovetail
with
this
staff
direction
and
be
able
to
say
better
tomorrow
morning
what
what
the
length
of
their
process
is,
but
they
are
only
constituted
to
last
for
a
finite
amount
of
time.
So
I
think
they're
they're
working
quickly
as
well.
G
Thank
you.
Madam
president,
I
did
mention
earlier
about
the
racial
equity
impact
analysis
that
was
included
with
the
legislative
file.
I
would
just
say
that
it
still
did
not
get
down
to
the
level
of
detail
around
how
racial
equity
was
actually
applied,
because
the
ultimate
product
did
not
demonstrate
racial
equity
and
so
I
want
to
make
sure
that,
as
we
are
moving
forward
and
looking
at
funding
that
we
actually
have
a
concrete
connection
between
race
equity
and
how
the
the
dollars
are
actually
being
allocated.
G
So
it's
not
duplicating
it
because
the
work
had
already
been
because
the
the
racial
equity
impact
analysis
did
not
have
a
clear
connection
and
was
not
actually
very
like
specific
in
how
it
was
applied
and
I
will
so
that
we
have
a
better
understanding
of
the
timeline
for
this.
For
this
group,
I
will
go
ahead
and
withdrawal.
My
motion
and
I
will
reintroduce
it
on
Friday
at
the
council
meeting
after
speaking,
further
with
Commissioner
musekamp
about
a
realistic
timeline.
Thank
you.
Okay,.
F
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
mrs.
Kent.
Can
you
just
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
spec
I'm,
not
fully
sure
that
everybody
is
aware
of
that
work
and
how
it's
proceeding,
and
can
you
confirm
that
the
members
of
that
group
are
being
are
being
compensated
and
with
the
hopes
that
some
of
those
funds
are
being
used
in
in
those
communities
that
they
are
working
in.
K
K
It's
a
it's
a
great
name
for
some
reason
that
I
can't
hold
it
in.
My
head
is
composed
of
community
members
and
they
are
representing
viewpoints
from
from
across
the
various
constituencies,
and
it
is
really
a
new
design
within
our
emergency
response
to
to
carve
out
a
whole
branch
of
our
response
to
be
engaging
the
voice
of
the
community,
not
only
as
as
touch
points
for
us
to
check
with,
but
also
as
ways
to
influence
the
process
and
I.
Believe
we've
had
three
meetings
now
or
today's
our
third
meeting
they
meet
weekly.
K
They
they
are
being
compensated
with
dollars
from
the
the
state
state
health
improvement
program
which
comes
through
the
state
of
Minnesota
in
a
model.
That's
similar
to
other
work,
that's
been
done
there
and
their
role
is
to
not
only
identify
community
need,
but
to
help
prioritize
that
need
and
to
give
input
to
the
department
in
particular
and
have
invited
council
vice
president
Jenkins
to
be
there
to
be
a
part
of
the
discussions
to
see
if
there
are
additional
policy
issues
beyond
beyond
the
department
as
well.
B
Okay,
thank
you
all
very
much
for
this
discussion
and
I.
Think.
As
many
have
pointed
out,
you
know,
even
though
this
particular
funding
is
a
small
amount
on
one
particular
issue.
We
know
that
going
forward
for
many
months
and
likely
years
we'll
be
facing
these
kinds
of
difficult
decisions
about
how
to
use
limited
resources
to
reach
the
most
benefit
and
I.
Think
many
of
you
who
have
spoken
about
how
we
want
to
make
sure
that
our
values
and
the
policy
directions
of
the
council
are
showing
up
in
each
and
every
one
of
these
decisions.
B
So
I
really
again
really
appreciate
all
of
their
comments
that
have
been
made.
I
do
want
to
just
highlight
since
we're
talking
about
it
at
such
length.
That
I
think
many
of
these
issues
are
also
places
where
I
mentioned
this
at
the
council
meeting
on
Friday
or
I
think
there
are
some
some
topics
where
different
levels
of
governance
are
working
really
seamlessly
together
to
provide
a
response
to
community
and
I
think
there
are
other
issues
where
there
is
less
clarity
around
which
levels
of
government
are
the
lead
or
the
funding
lead
on
on
providing
services.
B
J
J
As
we
don't
know
what
things
are
going
to
look
like
as
we
as
you
proceed
into
this
election
year,
and
it
is
really
important
that
people
vote.
So
we
want
to
make
sure
that
people
have
that
access.
A
few
other
things
to
note.
You
can
get
more
information
at
the
Secretary
of
State
website.
I'm
gonna
read
that
off
here.
There's
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
things
to
it,
so
hopefully
folks
have
their
pin
out,
but
it's
WWE
SOS
state
dot,
mn/dot
us!
F
You
I
had
myself
thank
you,
but
nice
haircut,
councilmember
Allison,
my
first
time
seeing
you
with
the
new
haircut
but
I
was
just
gonna
ask:
is
there
a
way
or
an
opportunity
that
we
may
get
a
update
on
some
of
these
other
jurisdictional
partner
action
activities
that
are
happening?
That
may
correlate
to
the
work
that
we're
doing?
B
B
I
think
that's
a
good
suggestion,
I
think
in
some
ways
that
may
be
comforting
and
in
other
ways
it
may
not
be
but
agree
that
our
constituents
certainly
deserve
the
full
full
picture
of
what's
happening
and
what's
not
any
further
discussions
on
anything
before
we
adjourn
seeing
none
I
will
without
objection
that
declare
our
meeting
adjourned
and
wish
everyone
a
great
afternoon.
Thank
you.
