B
Who've
worked
with
gene
throughout
his
career
to
help
us
honor
him.
I
wish
we
could
be
there
in
city
hall
together
to
see
each
other
during
this
moment,
but
we
know
we'll
be
able
to
get
together
soon,
gene
with
you,
and
we
know
we
that
we
will
all
be
keeping
in
touch
council,
member
johnson.
C
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
couldn't
agree
more
with
that
sentiment.
I
really
wish
we
were
able
to
be
together
today,
but
virtual
will
have
to
be
a
substitute
for
now,
but
we
have
a
number
of
honored
guests
with
us
today
to
speak
to
the
remarkable
career
of
mr
ranieri
as
director
of
intergovernmental
relations
and
just
the
the
monumental
body
of
work
he
has
been
a
part
of
so
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
start
by
recognizing
senator
jeff.
D
D
C
Certainly,
that's
one
of
the
dynamics
of
these
virtual
meetings,
so
we'll
come
back
to
senator
hayden
senator
bobby
joe
champion.
Are
you.
D
And
council
member,
I
will
say
that
senator
champion
had
a
conflict.
This
time
he's
going
to
be
circling
back
to
us,
however,
and
so
we
should
reach
back
out
for
both
senators
as
we
proceed
through
the
list.
Apologies.
C
D
And
I
believe
that
former
council
president
johnson
may
have
been
muted
and
would
need
to
press
star
six
in
order
to
open
up
her
microphone.
Apologies
again.
E
Well,
a
technological
wizard
that
I
am
amazing
I
you
know
it's
my
pleasure
to
wish
gene
a
long
and
healthy
retirement,
and
you
know
I
think
he
has
always
been
someone
that
has
been
an
integral
part
of
the
city's
relationship
with
the
legislature,
which
is
so
important.
E
You
know,
city
is
a
creature
of
the
state
and
there
are
so
many
times
when
we
have
to
have
effective
relationships
with
legislators.
Not
just
our
own
delegation,
but
across
the
state
and
gene
has
has,
has
the
remarkable
gift
of
I
think
you
know
deciding
who
is
the
best
person
to
work
with
a
particular
legislator
and
then
also
you
know,
guiding
the
strategy
of
the
city
and
that
will
be
sorely
missed.
E
C
F
I
think
we're
going
to
go
to
senator
champion
next
councilmember
johnson.
G
To
the
council
to
everyone
there.
First
of
all,
thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
jump
in.
I
was
on
earlier,
and
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
I
could
lend
my
voice
to
this
great
course
of
pleasantries,
of
about
gene
rainier.
I'm
gonna
miss
gene.
You
know
over
in
the
legislature.
I
just
heard
former
council
president
barb
johnson
speaking
and
she
talked
about
the
importance
of
the
relationship
between
the
city
and
the
legislature.
G
G
You
know
where
we
may
be
strong
where
we
may
be
weak,
but
let
me
tell
you
as
a
legislator,
it
is
really
critical
for
me
to
be
able
to
have
someone
who's
representing
the
city,
who's
thoughtful,
thoughtful
about
not
just
the
issue
that
he's
advocating
for,
but
also
how
it
improves
the
lives
of
folks
who
reside
in
minneapolis,
but
also
outside
of
the
boundaries
of
minneapolis
and
gene.
Is
that
he's
thoughtful?
G
He
has
a
deep
understanding
of
the
issues
and
how
to
present
the
strategy
that
the
city
has
has
decided
to
be
engaged
upon
and
he's
a
fierce
advocate
for
the
city.
Gene
is
is
mild-mannered
and
with
that
wonderful
smile,
but
he
he's
laser
focused
on
how
do
I
get
you
to
do
what's
in
the
best
interest
of
my
city,
and
so
I
have
always
loved
that
and
his
honesty,
and
so
I'm
gonna
miss
him.
G
Not
only
only
to
the
city
but
to
the
folks
that
we
all
serve
so
I
want
to
get
on
the
line.
I
left
a
court
zoom
meeting,
they're,
probably
looking
for
me
right
now,
so
don't
tell
anyone
that
I'm
on
the
line,
but
they
probably
know
that
now,
but
because
I
wanted
to
be
here
to
celebrate,
gene
and
celebrate
the
even
the
forward.
G
Thinking
of
of
of
this
department
and
others
who
are
now
gonna
come
into
play
and
even
though
they
can't
fill
jeans
shoes,
they
can
create
their
own
shoes
because
I
think
it's
important
for
us
to
always
celebrate
gene
and
look
forward
and
thank
you
gene
for
all
that
you
do.
I
sincerely
appreciate
you.
C
F
Thank
you
and
thank
you
so
much
for
letting
me
join
you
to
recognize
and
thank
my
friend
and
long
time
colleague
from
the
city,
gene
renery
and
wish
him
well
in
his
retirement.
F
I'm
glad
to
hear
the
other
speakers
recognize
just
what
a
big
role
that
gene
has
played
and
the
accomplishments,
and
sometimes
the
challenges
of
the
city
minneapolis,
but
also
the
state
of
minnesota
over
just
decades
of
an
amazing
career.
F
One
thing
I
wanted
to
emphasize
that
I
think
was
really
memorable
about
jean
is
what
a
master
he
was
at
understanding
how
to
work
with
elected
officials,
many
of
whom
held
different
views
on
strategy
and
policy
and
be
able
to
gain
and
maintain
their
trust,
and
I
think
the
the
proof
of
that
often
was
that
gene
was
often
the
first
to
know
things
that
were
happening.
F
He
was
able
to
provide
be
a
trusted
source
of
information
to
many
elected
officials
and
when
I
say
working
with
different
elected
officials,
I
mean
even
within
the
city
of
minneapolis.
Maybe
you
know
that
the
mayor
has
a
little
bit
different
approach
than
one
of
the
council
members
or
certainly
within
the
legislature,
but
he
knew
exactly
how
to
approach
people.
He
was
just
a
master.
F
Decoder
of
personality
is
kind
of
how
I
thought
of
it,
and
he
knew
the
importance
of
the
long
game
that
these
are
long-term
relationships
and
you
need
to
think
of
a
relationship
as
a
manner
of
respect
and
long
term.
F
I
think
the
other
thing
that
I
want
to
mention
about
gene
is
that
he
just
was
so
so
kind.
He
was
just
a
kind
and
compassionate
colleague
he
always
asked
about
family.
He
always
knew
the
importance
of
the
relationship
underlying
the
professional
objectives
that
we
all
were
trying
to
accomplish.
F
He
was
always
willing
to
brainstorm
and
offer
advice,
and
I
really
think
of
gene
as
modeling
what
it
means
to
be
a
great
public
servant
which
he
exhibited
over
just
decades
of
professional
service,
including
that
to
the
city
of
minneapolis,
and
I
really
want
to
thank
him
for
showing
what
it
means
to
bring
kindness,
curiosity
and
joy
to
your
work
and
gene.
I
wish
you
and
your
family
all
the
best.
H
Thank
you
very
much
for
the
opportunity
to
comment
this
morning
on
behalf
of
gene
renery.
It's
my
honor
and
pleasure
to
be
here
this
morning.
H
I
just
could
echo
pretty
much
what
previous
commenters
are
saying,
but
I
just
want
to
start
with
by
saying
that
I've
known
gene
for
many
years,
it's
been
a
few
decades
I'll
leave
off
the
exact
number
of
years
and
decades
that
will
date
both
of
us
more
than
we
probably
would
want,
and
jean
over
the
years
has
served
for
me
as
both
a
professional
colleague,
a
mentor
and
a
friend.
H
He
was
one
of
the
first
people
that
I
met
when
I
started
my
career
with
the
minnesota
state
senate
working
for
senator
larry
pogomiller,
who
represented
northeast
and
southeast
minneapolis,
and
I
just
I
can
remember,
gene
very
vividly
even
back
then
as
such
a
force,
he
was
a
strong,
engaging,
consistent,
forceful
and
just
wonderful
presence
in
the
senator's
office.
He
worked
very
closely
with
senator
pogue
miller
on
a
number
of
very
key
issues
both
for
minneapolis
and
the
region,
whether
they
were
tax,
related
development
related
or
otherwise.
H
Over
the
years,
I
now
hold
the
position
that
gene
held
previously
with
metro
cities
as
its
executive
director,
and
so
as
my
career
went
on
from
the
the
legislature
to
metro
cities.
Gene
served
as
not
just
a
colleague
but
as
an
important
mentor
for
me,
and
I've
been
very
grateful
to
call
on
him
be
able
to
call
on
him
for
advice
or
as
a
sounding
board,
on
the
many
issues
for
cities
in
the
region
and
the
association
I'd
like
to
just
offer
a
few
observations
of
gene.
H
My
impressions
that
are
just
very
consistent
over
the
years
by
starting
I'd
like
to
start
by
saying
that
gene
understands
more
than
anyone.
I
know
the
art
of
picking
up
the
phone,
the
absolute
value
of
the
interpersonal
in
the
work
that
we
all
do
at
the
capitol
in
the
age
of
twitter
and
other
social
media
gene
has
never
forgotten
that
art.
The
importance
of
picking
up
the
telephone
of
building
those
interpersonal
relationships
of
maintaining
those
relationships
and
of
communicating
very
regularly
has
a
very
good
sense
of
timing.
H
About
knowing
when
to
communicate
and
always
factually
gene
is
the
one
in
a
meeting
who
I'm
I
have
observed
that
he's
not
necessarily
the
first
one
to
speak,
but
he's
often
the
last.
He
takes
the
time
to
understand
what
is
being
said.
You
can
see
him
thinking
in
a
meeting.
He
often
knows
the
right
time
that
something
needs
to
be
said,
and
he
knows
what
to
say
he's.
H
Usually
the
person
in
the
room
who
offers
kind
of
the
the
sort
of
the
essential
comments,
the
thing
that
needs
to
be
said
and
at
the
right
time
the
issues
and
influence
that
gene
has
had
on
the
many
issues
for
minneapolis
and
also
the
metropolitan
region,
and
the
state
of
minnesota
are
many
fold,
and
there
are
too
many
to
name
here.
Despite
that
to
say
that
I
know
he
can
take
pride
in
knowing
he
has
played
many
vital
roles
on
many
projects
and
on
many
legislative
victories
and
issues.
H
He
is
also
he
also
embodies
what
I
would
call
just
very
consistent
and
absolutely
high
ethical
standards
in
his
work
and
that's
very
notable
and
and
will
never
be
forgotten.
I
know
other
commenters
have
also
said
that
gene
is
very
kind.
I
will
just
say
that
I
consider
gene
to
be
a
very
close
personal
friend,
and
I
have
seen
that
kindness.
I've
enjoyed
certainly
knowing
him
getting
to
know.
You
know
more
about
his
family
over
the
years.
H
I
remember
when
his
kids
were
babies
and
all
of
those
things
will
just
stick
out
with
for
me
as
much
as
the
work
that
he
has
done.
I
want
to
wish
gene
the
absolute
absolute
enjoyment
in
his
retirement
and
just
to
know
that
the
work
that
he's
done,
the
influence
that
he's
had
certainly
on
me
personally
and
on
the
issues
facing
the
region
will
not
be
forgotten.
So
all
the
best
to
you,
gene
and
thank
you
so
much
for
your
work
with
with
me
and
with
metro
cities
over
the
years.
C
C
Again,
oh
no
worries
we'll,
hopefully
have
him
back
on
here
in
a
moment.
Let
me
see
who
is
next.
C
I
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
council,
president
members
and
distinguished
guests.
I
have
a
brief
statement
and
words
from
my
colleagues
and
genes
as
well
in
the
intergovernmental
relations
department
and
we'll
be
brief.
Apologies
in
advance.
If
I
get
emotional
you
know,
gene
has
meant
a
lot
to
us
as
jane
retires.
He
leaves
an
indelible
mark
on
the
city,
enterprise
and
the
intergovernmental
relations
department's
structure
and
function.
I
His
expertise
and
influence
on
public
policy
extend
beyond
the
walls
of
city
hall
and
flows
through
the
marbles
of
marble,
steps
of
our
state
capital
and
just
about
through
every
legislative
district
in
minnesota,
jean
was
destined
for
his
choice
of
career
in
public
policy.
He
was
born
to
a
mother
who
cared
passionately
about
civil
rights
and
a
father
who
was
a
proud
union
member.
I
The
principles
and
values
nurtured
by
his
parents
are
evident
in
gene's,
long
and
successful
career,
with
his
deep
and
historical
understanding
of
complex
legislation
like
local
government
aid,
for
example,
to
issues
I
grapple
with
racial
equity.
Through
it
all
gene
has
poured
his
hop
his
heart
and
soul
into
serving
the
residents
of
minneapolis
during
his
tenure.
The
political
landscape
has
experienced
many
iterations
at
the
county,
state
and
local
levels.
I
Gene
has
navigated
these
changes
with
pristine,
clearness
and
values-driven
leadership.
Under
his
tenure
at
least
four
women,
including
one
black
woman,
have
been
mentored
and
developed
into
leaders.
He
has
demonstrated
a
commitment
to
life-affirming
values
such
as
honesty,
integrity,
excellence,
courage,
humility,
trust,
care
for
people
and
social
and
environmental
responsibility
gene.
We
appreciate
your
kindness
and
interest
in
our
lives
and
well-being
and
we'll
miss
your
unparalleled
passion
for
public
policy.
I
I
C
So
I
think
we
do
not
have
senator
hayden
or
gary
carlson
on
the
line.
Unfortunately,
due
to
technical
difficulties
here,
so
I'm
going
to
read
the
resolution.
C
And
whereas
mr
ranieri
has
led
work
to
secure
laws,
policies
and
funding
to
support
all
needs
of
the
city
enterprise,
including
its
housing,
public
safety,
energy,
transportation
and
equity
goals.
And
whereas
his
expert
knowledge
of
taxes
and
local
government
finance
has
been
a
valuable
resource
to
the
city
and
many
partners
throughout
the
state
of
minnesota.
C
C
C
C
I'd
like
to
share
a
few
quick
words
on
gene
as
intergovernmental
relations
chair.
Basically,
every
time
I
go
to
the
capitol
some
legislator
inevitably
pulls
me
aside
and
says:
council
member,
that
gene
renery
is
a
good
one.
You
can
never
let
him
go
so.
C
I
know
I'm
disappointed
a
lot
of
legislators
by
sending
him
off
on
retirement
or
seeing
him
go
on
retirement,
but
it
it
is
the
sentiment
that
was
shared
by
so
many
to
me
over
the
years,
because
gene
has
served
as
the
face
of
the
city
of
minneapolis
and
in
a
very
tough
job
that
truly
at
times
is
24
7..
I
found
gene
over
in
the
legislative
gallery
late
at
night
tracking
bills
working
on
issues
keeping
us
informed.
C
As
other
speakers
mentioned,
there
are
hundreds
of
people
he
has
to
work
with,
not
just
all
the
legislators,
the
governor's
office,
but
key
staff
members
partners,
whether
the
county
or
metro
cities
or
the
league
of
minnesota
cities
and
then
to
interface.
All
of
that
work
all
of
those
conversations
back
to
the
city,
enterprise,
to
different
department,
heads
staff
and
14
elected
officials
and
then
to
do
that
over
dozens
of
interests
and
bills
and
work
that's
moving
rapidly
and
changing
frequently,
while
managing
a
tight-knit
team.
Through
all
of
that
chaos.
C
It
is
an
incredible
feat,
and
yet
gene
does
it
in
a
manner
where
he
is
calm,
cool
and
collected.
On
top
of
these
things
and
truly
the
definition
of
professionalism
every
single
day,
he
has
brought
passion
to
his
work
and
stayed
positive
through
some
of
the
most
frustrating
and
difficult
moments
that
would
break
the
best
of
us.
C
The
igr
team,
under
his
leadership,
has
helped
improve
laws
in
countless
ways,
not
just
at
a
state
level,
but
they
help
refine
federal
laws
as
well
and
in
the
process.
The
team
has
helped
secure
hundreds
of
millions,
if
not
billions,
of
dollars
for
the
city
of
minneapolis,
which
is
not
just
money
that
represents
more
units
of
affordable
housing
that
so
many
residents
now
call
home
that
represents
cleaner
air
and
water.
C
C
It
has
been
a
pleasure
and
a
privilege
to
work
with
you.
I
know
that
sentiment
is
shared
by
all
throughout
the
enterprise.
You
will
be
missed
here
at
city
hall.
You
leave
big
shoes
to
fill.
We
will
continue
to
stay
in
touch
and
jean.
Thank
you
on
behalf
of
the
people
of
minneapolis,
for
your
exemplary
service.
We
wish
you
nothing,
but
the
best
ahead
in
retirement
now,
I'd
like
to
open
it
up
for
any
colleagues
that
are
interested
in
speaking
looking
at
the
q
council
member
cunningham.
J
Thank
you,
everyone
for
those
amazing
words,
really
truly.
We
we
have
been
blessed
at
the
city
of
minneapolis
to
to
be
able
to
work
alongside
gene,
as
he
organizes
quite
a
challenging
situation
of
many
different
governmental
bodies.
The
people
who
make
them
up
and
the
complexity
of
the
various
issues
being
a
local
elected
official
is
very
challenging
because
our
neighbors,
who
are
also
our
constituents,
look
at
us
and
say
solve
all
of
these
problems,
and
we
do
not
have
we.
J
As
former
council
president
barb
johnson
said
we're
a
creature
of
the
state,
and
so
therefore
it
is
our
our
role
to
also
be
able
to
collaborate
so
that
many
of
these
issues
that
we
face
in
our
communities
are
able
to
be
addressed.
J
I
will
say
that
I,
as
a
council
member,
have
learned
so
much
from
gene
around
how
to
navigate
these
sort
of
systemic
barriers
or
reason
to
be
able
to
secure
resources
through
partnerships
at
the
state
and
how
to
navigate
that.
Well,
he
said
such
a
phenomenal
example
of
how
to
navigate
that
with
grace,
with
focus
with
tenacity
and
doing
it
through
relationships.
J
I
want
to
make
sure
that
I
give
a
special
thank
you
because
of
the
fact
that
his
leadership
and
his
staff
and
being
able
to
organize
the
state
legislators
and
me
as
an
elected
official
and
and
former
folks
who
are
also
in
this
in
the
representing
the
north
side,
as
well
as
now
to
secure
the
15
million
dollar
investment
in
ward
4
for
the
upper
harbor
terminal.
J
That
is
the
largest
investment
in
north
minneapolis
and
possibly
ever
it's
it's
a
huge
investment
and
what
is
so
important
about
that
particular
investment.
Is
that
it's
for
infrastructure
in
the
park?
What
that?
What
that
translates
to
is
that
people
of
the
north
side
will
be
reconnected
to
our
riverfront.
For
the
first
time
in
over
100
years,
our
riverfront
was
taken
from
us,
and
now
we
have
the
opportunity
to
reclaim
that
back
and
that's
what
that
15
million
dollars
is
gonna
make
possible.
So
I'm
I'm
incredibly
thankful.
Also.
J
I
just
want
to
say
that
a
good
sign
of
a
leader,
a
good
sign
of
a
leader's
effectiveness,
is
the
ability
to
produce
new
leaders
and
fatima
and
the
other
fatima
and
other
staff
have
been
amazing
leaders,
and
so
I'm
excited
to
continue
to
support
their
leaderships,
as
well
as
with
our
new
igr
director.
So
thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
on
behalf
of
our
community
and
best
of
luck
enjoying
a
long
retirement.
C
K
Thank
you,
councilmember
johnson,
and
thank
you,
mr
ranieri,
for
your
impeccable
years
of
service
to
the
city
of
minneapolis.
K
Many
others
before
me
have
highlighted
your
numerous
qualities
and
attributes
that
have
made
you
an
outstanding
public
servant,
and
I
just
want
to
offer
my
appreciation
for
our
very
long
term
relationship
and
as
former
vice
president
council
member
elizabeth
glidden
stated.
You
know
you
you,
you
always
look
to
building
relationships
beyond
the
professional
work
that
that
needs
to
be
done
and
and
recognizing
that
that
level
of
connection
actually
helps
the
work
get
done.
K
And
so
you
know
I
have
personally
taken
that
example
and
incorporated
into
my
own
professional
life
as
well.
I
also
wanted
to
just
lift
up.
K
You
know
the
the
comments
that
now
igr
director
fatima
moore
and
congratulations-
miss
moore
on
on
this
elevation
in
your
career,
very
well
deserved
and
looking
forward
to
continuing
to
work
with
you,
but
but
your
willingness
and
ability
to
lift
up
women
leadership
in
your
department
and
I'm
thinking
specifically
about
melissa,
lesh
and
lauren
olsen
and
and
of
course,
ms
moore
and
some
of
the
other
women
that
are
very
prominent
on
your
staff.
K
I
think
that's
a
testament
to
your
commitment
to
equity
and
and
diversity,
and
and
that
will
be
a
really
critical
and
admirable
legacy
to
to
move
forward.
So
congratulations
and
and
many
many
years
of
happiness
and
time
spent
with
your
family
in
the
future,
and
it's
been
an
honor
and
a
pleasure
to
work
with
you,
sir.
C
A
A
First
of
all,
obviously
he
wishes
he
was
able
to
be
here
in
person,
but
his
words.
First,
our
gene
defines
commitment
for
more
than
14
years.
Gene
has
not
only
improved
lives,
he
saved
lives
and
built
these
continuous
relationships
with
the
city
and
the
state
that
really
no
one
else
could
have
done.
A
The
mayor
related
a
story
to
me,
gene
of
where
you
and
he
were
over
meeting
with
legislators,
and
you
were
late
for
a
committee
meeting
a
few
years
ago
and
that
you
sprinted
the
halls
with
the
mayor
and
kept
up
shoulder
to
shoulder
with
the
mayor
sprinting
through
the
halls
of
the
capitol
to
get
from
one
place
to
another.
To
advocate
for
the
city
and
the
whole
time,
you
were
shouting
instructions
out
to
other
people
and
that
exuberance
and
that
passion,
I'm
sure
he
said,
was
evident.
A
The
first
year
you
started
working
at
the
capitol
many
decades
ago
and
continues
to
the
day-
and
I
think
just
generally
to
share
the
mayor's
appreciation
for
your
inspiration
to
everyone,
not
only
your
team
and
in
the
city
so
just
want
to
thank
mayor
frye
for
those
words-
and
I
know
you
do
as
well.
A
I
also
want
to
mention
gene
that
my
own
personal
appreciation,
not
everyone
knows
this,
but
I
was
your
intern
more
than
30
years
ago
and
I
would
not
be
at
the
city
of
minneapolis
without
you,
without
you
not
only
more
recently,
but
back
then
pointing
to
state
and
local
issues
as
some
of
the
most
exciting
public
policy
issues
that
anyone
could
have
a
career
around,
and
you
have
proven
that.
A
The
other
thing
that
I
think
doesn't
get
mentioned
enough
gene
is,
you
also
were
have
worked
for
the
city
of
saint
paul
in
intergovernmental
relations.
You've
worked
for
hennepin
county
over
your
career.
You
were
the
contract
lobbyist
for
the
city
of
duluth
during
your
period
of
time
that
your
influences
spans
beyond
the
city
of
minneapolis
and
that
legacy
not
just
in
accomplishments
but,
as
has
been
highlighted,
more
importantly,
in
people
is
the
most
important
legacy
any
of
us
could
ever
could
ever
leave.
So
thank
you.
A
C
Thank
you
so
much
for
those
wonderful
remarks
now
I'll
go
ahead
and
turn
it
over
to
jean
ranieri,
please
press
star
six
to.
C
L
L
You
thank
you
so
much
for
all
those
kind
words-
and
this
is
very
emotional
for
me
and
if
I
have
to
stop
once
in
a
while,
you'll,
hopefully
you'll
understand,
I
started
16
years
ago
working
for
the
city
of
minneapolis
and
yes,
we
have
built
a
pretty
strong
intergovernmental
relations
component
of
the
city,
but
what
makes
igr
very
strong
is
another
igr,
the
intergovernmental
aspects
of
intergovernmental
relations,
working
closely
with
all
of
you,
the
mayor
city,
council
members
or
for
our
chairs,
but
our
city
departments.
L
One
of
the
reasons
I
think
we're
very
successful
is
we've
been
able
to
interact
collaborate
with
police
fire
public
works.
I
know
I'm
going
to
forget
a
few
departments
city,
the
city
coordinator
of
the
public
housing
agency,
I
think
that's
been.
Our
success
is
being
able
to
work
with
each
other
to
understand
each
other's
issues
and
to
try
and
sell
that.
Excuse
me
lobby
advocate
for
them
at
the
capitol.
L
I
am
yes
getting
ready
to
retire.
I
have
lots
of
emotions
now
I
want
to
thank
you
all
again
for
supporting
us
over
the
years.
I
think
the
enterprise
is
much
stronger
today
than
I.
When
I
first
came-
and
I
know
that
my
staff
will
be
taking
over
fatima
moore,
allison
nessie
sharon,
garcia
and
lauren
olson
will
do
a
great
job
and
continue
the
work
that
we
started
a
long
time
ago
from
the
bottom
of
my
heart.
I
think
thank
you
all.
L
C
Thank
you
so
much
gene.
We
just
really
appreciate
all
your
service
to
the
city
and
wish
you
all
the
best
in
retirement-
and
you
know,
or
just
cannot
wait
to
be
able
to
see
you
in
person
again
in
a
safe
way.
Hopefully
sooner
than
later,
so
thank
you.
C
I
am
going
to
go
ahead
now
and
turn
the
meeting
back
over
to
council
president
thunder.
Thank
you.
B
B
So
with
that
we
will
wish
gene
and
his
family
so
much
joy
in
this
retirement
time
and
continue
with
the
official
part
of
our
meeting.
I
will
go
ahead
and
ask
the
clerk
to
call
the
role
to
verify
the
presence
of
a
quorum.

Q
Unlike
the
mayor's
usual
presentation,
I
don't
believe
there
is
a
detailed
powerpoint,
but
you
all
have
received
a
written
report
with
the
same
information
on
it,
and
so
I
am
just
going
to
go
through
some
of
the
highlights
related
to
the
health
department
and
stand
for
questions,
and
then
I
believe
others
are
here
to
answer
other
questions
that
might
come
up
as
you
read
the
rest
of
the
document,
so
we
have
in
minneapolis,
seen
a
decrease
in
the
coveted
19
cases
from
a
high
of
20
per
100
000
people
in
late
july
to
10
per
100
000
people
in
sept
in
early
september.
Q
We
are
still,
however,
in
the
orange
category,
which
is
considered
to
be
accelerated
spread,
and
so
we
really
while
we
are
seeing
progress,
we
haven't
left
that
orange
category.
Q
In
addition,
there
are
now
an
average
of
approximately
50
new
cases
a
day
as
opposed
to
80
new
cases.
A
day
earlier
in
the
outbreak,
current
hospitalizations
and
icu
admissions
have
remained
stable.
Over
the
past
week,
there
has
been
an
increase
in
the
percent
of
cases
that
are
considered
community
transmission,
which
is
which
means
that
people
are
not
able
to
identify
a
case,
or
they
are
unwilling
to
identify
a
case
that
they
know
of
where
they
might
have
been
exposed.
Q
Recently,
I
think,
as
recently
as
yesterday,
governor
waltz
laid
out
a
few
more
parameters
in
terms
of
where
he'd
like
to
see
the
state.
He
would
like
to
see
our
test
positivity
rate
less
than
4
percent.
It's
currently
around
five
and
he
would
like
to
see
the
community
spread
more
around
20
percent
and
it
is
currently
at
at
least
35
percent.
So
we
have
more
progress
to
make
before
we
can
really
consider
ourselves
in
a
different
category
of
the
outbreak.
Q
In
terms
of
the
contact
tracing
that
we
are
doing,
we're
having
pretty
good
success
connecting
with
people,
we've
been
able
to
identify
to
interview
about
86
percent
of
those
that
that
have
been
identified,
we're
having
just
a
two
percent
refusal
rate.
There
are
about
10
percent
of
folks
that
we
can't
find
and
the
longer
the
time
between
the
tests
and
when
we
learn
about
the
results,
the
more
difficult
it
is
for
us
to
to
find
people.
Q
Earlier
in
the
outbreak,
it
was
40
plus
percent
of
those
that
we
were
interacting
with,
and
so
that
has
been
a
change,
but
we
do
continue
to
see
a
disproportionate
impact
in
terms
of
of
infection
in
both
the
black
and
hispanic
populations.
Q
We
have.
We
are
struggling
to
make
sure
that
we
have
a
team
of
contact
tracers
that
stays
at
the
at
the
size
that
we
need
in
order
to
respond
to
the
outbreak,
with
our
staff
needing
to
be
redeployed
to
non-covet
activities.
Q
Now
that
restaurants
are
open
and
and
the
minneapolis
public
schools
are
looking
to
access
our
school-based
clinics,
and
so
we
do
have
a
contract
with
americorps
and
hope
to
be
able
to
fill
20
positions
with
them
part-time
positions
that
will
help
really
flesh
out
our
our
contact
racing
and
we're
excited
about
that
relationship.
Q
We
have
been
having
testing
community
testing
done
most
recently,
testing
in
at
the
shiloh
temple
in
north
minneapolis,
where
we
tested
over
300
folks.
We
also
combined
offering
seasonal
flu
shots
at
that
a
testing
event
as
we
have
at
a
couple
other
ones,
and
we
will
continue
to
do
that
when
it
makes
sense
at
the
event
and
we
had
200
people
take
us
up
on
those
flu
shots.
Q
We
had
did
that
testing
event
in
collaboration
with
some
community
partners
as
we're
trying
to
do
we're
just
trying
to
create
more
capacity
within
our
community,
and
so
we
for
that
testing
event
worked
with
north
point,
hennepin,
healthcare
and
hope
communities
and
the
document
that
the
mayor
sent
to
you
that's
right
in
front
of
us
here
great
lists
out
some
of
the
upcoming
flu
shot
opportunities
for
later
in
september.
Although
one
of
them
has
already
occurred
yesterday.
Q
We
are
leaning
into
vaccinations
that
we
hope
will
come
related
to
covid
19,
and
so
the
state
has
started
to
have
regular
meetings
with
local
public
health
to
think
about
what
some
of
the
challenges
and
opportunities
and
ways
that
we
might
make
sure
that
those
vaccines
when
they
are
developed
and
available,
make
it
into
the
communities
that
we
that
we
care
about
and
see
as
being
at
risk
and
want
to
make
sure
that
they
have
early
access.
Q
We
in
minneapolis
are
also
working
with
ncr
and
others
to
begin
some
dialogue
with
community
members,
thinking
that
if
we
can
learn
together
early
on
about
the
vaccinations
that
are
being
developed,
that
we
will
have
a
better
sense
of
community
response
and
be
able
to
work
with
the
community
in
ways
that
that
makes
sense
to
them.
And
so
there
was
a
city-wide
neighborhood
meeting
where
we
began
to
discuss
vaccines
just
this
week
and
we
plan
to
do
much
more
as
we
go
through
the
fall
I'll
stop
there.
B
B
I
don't
see
any
so.
Thank
you
for
being
here
today.
I
know
that
now
that
we've
reestablished
our
regular
committees
that
we
will
be
also
having
regular
reports
about
chronovirus
and
the
public
health
response,
specifically
in
the
public
health
and
public
safety
committee,
so
that
will
give
us
a
chance
to
dig
into
some
of
those
details.
I
know
that
there
have
been
significant
staff
shifts
and
partnerships
just
in
specific,
related
to
the
health
response
to
chronovirus.
B
D
D
The
council
did
declare
a
date
for
this
declared
state
of
emergency
to
self-terminate,
and
so
that
already
has
occurred.
This
is
simply
the
paperwork
for
our
record-keeping
purposes.
To
show
that
that
declared
state
of
emergency.
The
second
declared
state
of
emergency
for
civil
disturbance
was
terminated,
and
the
resolution
reflects
that
date
and
then
allows
us
to
close
the
file
on
this
matter.
B
Thank
you,
mr
clerk.
Are
there
any
questions,
or
is
there
a
motion
to
adopt
the
resolution
terminating,
this
declared
state
of
emergency.
M
N
N
N
K
N
B
That
carries
on
the
resolution
is
adopted.
The
final
item
under
new
business
is
consideration
of
a
letter
expressing
the
city
support
for
efforts
related
to
rebuilding
in
parts
of
our
community
that
were
impacted
by
recent
civil
unrest.
I'll
recognize,
council
member
johnson
for
introduction
of
this
item
now,
councilmember
johnson.
C
B
C
Thank
you.
So
this
is
in
response
a
letter
in
response
to
a
community
coalition
that
had
a
number
of
questions
around
the
city's
response
around
civil
unrest,
and
so
this
is
a
formal
letter
in
response
to
that
group
and
I'm
happy
to
go
ahead
and
move
that
and
stand
for
any
questions.
B
O
Thank
you,
president
bender.
I
guess
I'm
I've
been
reflecting
on
this
letter
because
I
don't
think,
there's
anything
I
disagree
with
in
the
letter,
and
I
think
it's
probably
fine
for
us
to
pass
this,
but
it
does
feel
like
a
real
departure
from
the
processes
that
our
city,
you
know,
has
set
up
to
communicate
and
I
think
it's
I
just
want
to
sort
of
emphasize
something
that
I've
been
talking
about
with
a
few
people,
which
is
it
feels
like.
O
We
need
to
get
this
work
back
into
a
formal
committee
structure
where
there's
more
sort
of
transparency
and
clarity
about
how
our
communications
and
policy
is
being
generated.
I
know
when
we
were
in
one
big
pogo
committee.
O
It
was
very
hard
to
have
meaningful
discussion,
but
I
don't
remember
us
sending
this
kind
of
a
letter
as
a
whole
council
in
the
past,
and
I
feel
like
it's
sort
of
a
workaround
for
some
processes
that
you
know
maybe
haven't
been
happening,
and
so
I
really
hope
that
we
can
get
to
a
place
that
we're
doing
the
work
in
formal
ways
through
committee,
so
that
the
council
can
express
itself
through
the
pros
through
the
democratic
processes
that
we've
established.
So
I
I
when
I
saw
this
come
through.
B
Thank
you,
councilmember
goodman
and
then
I'll
have
a
couple
comments
about
that.
As
talk
with
you
and
councilmember
goodwin,
very
briefly
about
that
issue
as
well.
Councilmember
goodman.
P
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
I
just
wanted
to
echo
the
comments
of
council
member
fletcher
and
let
everybody
else
know
that
the
council
president
has
been
in
touch
with
me
about
this.
As
the
current
chair
of
business
inspections,
housing
and
zoning
committee,
where
I
believe
much
of
this
work
would
happen.
Although
many
of
the
council
members
who
represent
this
area
don't
serve
on
this
committee,
that
doesn't
make
the
work
any
less
important.
P
The
people
who
do
serve
on
this
committee
have
a
broad
range
of
and
depth
of
expertise
in
this
area
and
have
I
have
volunteered
us
to
take
this
on
at
the
council
president's
request.
So
I
just
want
you
to
know
that
I
do
agree
with
you.
Council.
Remember
fletcher.
I
actually
don't
think
that
every
time
someone
writes
us
a
letter,
no
matter
what
the
level
of
importance
is,
we
need
to
bring
it
to
the
city
council
to
discuss.
P
I
think
the
pl
most
appropriate
place
for
this
is
in
committee
and
I
do
admire
the
work
of
council
vice
president
jenkins,
councilmember
cano,
council,
member
johnson,
council
member
straighter
to
some
extent
too
and
gordon
who
have
been
working
on
these
issues,
but
it's
time
to
formalize
our
structure,
and
I
just
want
to
want
you
to
know
that
the
council
president
has
been
thinking
and
talking
about
that,
because
I'm
aware
of
it
myself.
Thank
you,
madam
president.
B
Thank
you.
I
put
myself
in
cue
just
to
echo
here
that
now
that
we've
been
in
in
the
first
cycle
of
this
new
structure
back
to
a
more
normal
committee
structure
and
I'm
no
longer
chairing
all
of
the
committees
that
I
was
under
pogo.
I've
taken
some
time
to
take
a
step
back
and
in
the
last
couple
weeks,
particularly
focused
on
the
reimagining
public
safety
work.
B
I'm
working
to
support
my
colleagues
who
are
the
chair
and
vice
chair
of
that
committee
and
the
members
of
that
committee,
as
well
as
the
staff
to
help
that
process
get
better
underway.
I
expect
that
we'll
be
able
to
have
a
presentation
at
the
public
health
and
public
safety
committee
next
week,
giving
some
more
clarity
to
next
steps
on
that
process
and
how
all
the
different
pieces
will
be
fitting
together,
both
in
our
official
public
decision
making
process,
as
well
as
the
community
engagement
that
will
help
support
those
decisions.
B
I
know
a
lot
of
the
rebuilding
work
has
been
happening
in
a
group
that
council
vice
president
jenkins
has
been
convening
and
meeting
with
staff,
adding
this
layer
of
items
coming
through
the
biz
committee.
I
think
will
help
us
close
the
loop
with
a
public-facing
side.
We've
been
getting
regular
email
updates
from
staff,
but
I
think
reports
there
will
help
communicate
to
the
public
the
work
that
has
been
happening
and
then
I
think,
if
we
can
have
some
of
these
things
that
are
being
convened
through
mayor
fry's
office
coming
through
as
well
to
council.
B
B
But
these
issues
are,
of
course,
top
of
mind
for
our
constituents
across
the
city
and
related
to
our
work
around
race,
equity
and
economic
inclusion
that
are
happening
city-wide.
So
that
kind
of
re
grounding
in
our
committee
structure
will
help
all
of
us
plug
in
council
member
johnson.
C
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
I
appreciate
my
colleagues
comments
on
this.
I
understand
that
this
is
a
departure
from
typically
how
we
do
things
come
to
council
member
fletcher's
point.
You
know
I
can't
really
think
of
passing
a
letter
either
recently.
C
I
will
say,
though
this
is
unprecedented,
and
part
of
the
issue
is
that
the
letter
we're
responding
to
is
basically
a
criticism
of
the
city
for
not
doing
a
good
job
of
communicating
quickly
enough
and
I'll
note
that
that
letter
was
published
in
a
local
paper
dropped
off
on
about
50
000
doors
weeks
ago
weeks
ago,
and
this
is
the
quickest
that
we
are
responding
to
this,
and
part
of
that
is
really
our
committee
structure
and
processes
in
place,
and
I
understand
that
I
also
think
for
residents
in
the
community.
C
There
are
concerns
about
the
speed
at
which
government
is
moving
and
its
ability
to
meet
the
different
expectations
when
there's
been
such
widespread
destruction
and
we
face
those
frustrations
as
well
as
a
council
such
as
passing
our
staff
direction
in
june
around
recovery
from
the
civil
unrest
and
then
essentially
having
to
re-pass
that
again
in
august.
So
I
share
those
frustrations.
I
think
it's
reasonable
that
people
have
them,
and
this
is
an
attempt
to
be
responsive
to
those,
because
it
is
something
on
a
lot
of
people's
minds
in
this
area.
C
I
would
really
hope
we
passed
this
today
without
trying
to
move
it
back
into
committee
and
understand
that
you
know
this
is
really
the
epicenter
of
the
civil
unrest,
this
lake
in
minnehaha
area.
This
is
a
number
of
community
groups
that
reached
out
with
a
concern
around
communication
and
around
our
efforts
and
feeling
like
they
aren't
hearing
from
the
city,
and
so
I
do
think
it's
important
that
today
we
pass
a
response
to
that
sharing
the
work
that
we're
doing,
recognizing
those
frustrations
and
being
able
to
be
responsive
to
community.
K
Thank
you,
madam
president.
You
know
I
I
I
when
I
initially
read
the
letter
I
I
was
a
little
queasy
about
it
as
well,
not
not
to
the
fact
that
all
of
these
activities
are
taking
place
and
that
you
know
the
city
is
responding
in
in
a
manner
which
you
know
reflects
the
times
we
are
in,
which
is
enormously
chaotic,
multiple
issues
that
are
occurring
throughout
the
city
and
and
certainly
the
destruction
at
along
lake
street
and.
K
Is
urgent
and
utmost
importance,
but
I
I
think
this
speaks
to
a
broader
issue
and
some
some
of
us
have
alluded
to
it
as
well.
Is
you
know
how
are
we
communicating
as
a
city?
How?
How
are
we
getting
our
messages
out?
K
Really,
you
know,
in
terms
of
I
mean
there
are
many
other
efforts
that
are
underway
to
address
some
of
these
very
similar
issues
that
we're
not
identified
in
the
letter
and
and
how
are
we
making
sure
that
our
community
is
understanding
what
we
are,
what
we
are
doing
so
I
wanna
just
you
know
highlight
that
we
we
really
need
to
be
considering
these,
these
broader
issues
of
communication
and
how
how
we
are
communicating
these
actions,
activities
and
processes
throughout
the.
B
City,
yes,
thank
you,
council.
Vice
president,
I
mean,
I
think,
for
a
long
time,
the
city
has
relied
on
our
elected
officials,
including
the
council
offices,
which
are
staffed,
for
you
know
a
regular
environment
to
do
a
lot
of
that
communicating
and
we
are
not
staffed
appropriately
to
communicate
on
behalf
of
the
city
in
in
a
crisis
situation,
we
rely
on
our
city
staff
in
departments
that
are
structured
in
a
particular
way
that
typically
deal
with
their
own
purview
of
their
department's
efforts.
B
So
while
we
are,
of
course,
each
of
us
responsible
for
communicating
with
our
own
constituents,
you
know,
I
think,
the
the
limitations
of
that
approach
are
showing,
and-
and
so
this
you
know-
I
think
one
way
forward
here
again
is
to
better
embed
these
particular
efforts
that
are
happening
in
in
a
lot
of
private
meetings
related
to
economic
recovery
or
to
the
re-managing
safety
work
back
up
into
the
committee
structures,
so
that
we
get
all
of
that
work
out
in
the
public
and
it's
difficult
work.
B
There
are
no
simple
answers
here,
so
we
know
that
our
staff
are
working
really
hard
and
they're
stretched
very
thin
as
well.
The
staff
in
all
of
our
departments-
so
I
think
a
lot
of
that
is
is
is
noticed
in
our
community.
B
B
I
see
some
comments
in
the
chat,
if
you,
if
you
want
to
make
those
publicly
just
put
your
name
in
queue.
Next
is
councilmember
fletcher,.
O
I'm
trying
to
figure
out
what
to
do
here,
because
I
really
do
have
some
process
concerns
about
this
and
the
process
concerns
are
this.
The
sometimes
council
cycles
take
on
a
theme
and
for
me
the
theme
of
this
council
cycle
was
my
name
getting
put
on
stuff
I
didn't
consent
to
and
that
that
happened
on
a
resolution.
O
Earlier
in
the
week
that
staff
put
my
name
on
a
resolution
without
talking
to
me
about
it
first
and
then
now
this
is
this
was
published
as
a
pdf
on
the
agenda
in
limbs
saying
sincerely
marin
city
council
before
it
was
sent
to
me
and
or
simultaneously
at
least,
and
I'm
just
wondering
like
what
would
happen
if
I
voted
no,
are
we
now
saying
that,
like
seven
of
us,
can
vote
as
a
majority
to
send
something
that
then
has
all
13
of
our
signatures
on
it
like
what
what's
the
I'm
just,
I'm
just
trying
to
understand.
O
Procedurally,
do
I
even
have
a
choice
on
this
or
if
we,
if
it's
not
unanimous,
would
we
not
send
it
or
would
we
amend
it
in
some
way?
But
it's
already
circulating
saying
the
city
council
has
signed
it
right.
O
This
pdf
is
downloadable
and-
and
it
already
exists
as
a
thing
in
in
in
limbs
with
with
no
evidence
that
it's
you
know
not
already
passed,
so
I
I
I
want
to
just
note
that
this
is
not
a
process
that
we
should
make
part
of
our
our
our
process
and
would
appreciate
some
clarity
about
just
procedurally.
What
what
are
we
actually
doing
here.
B
Thank
you
councilmember.
I
see
councilmember
johnson
in
queue,
so
perhaps
he
would
like
to
take
a
stab
at
answering
those
questions.
C
Yeah,
thank
you,
madam
president,
and
I'll
note.
Casey
carl
said
in
the
chat
that,
just
as
an
fyi
we've
done
letters
like
this
before
to
express
policy
positions
of
the
governing
body.
You
know
the
intent
with
it
being
signed
by
the
mayor
and
the
city
council
was
that
this
should
it
pass
and
be
approved
is
approved
by
the
city
council
as
a
body.
So
that
does
not
stop
individual
council
members
from
voting
against
it,
and
you
know
it's
it's
also
by
the
way.
C
This
coalition
asks
for
a
response
from
the
city
council
as
a
body,
not
a
response
from
13
individual
council
members
and
whether
they
agree
with
every
word,
or
you
know
that
that
sort
of
thing
so
the
the
goal
here
is
that
this
is
reflective
of
the
body
of
the
city
council
and
really
it
is
a
letter
by
and
large
that
is
expressing
or
sharing
the
work
that
we
have
already
done
as
a
city,
and
so
I
know
that
you
know
there's
some
other
pieces
in
this
letter,
but
I
I
as
as
others
noted
it
sounds
like
the
issue,
is
more
about
process
and
wanting
the
letter
to
go
through
committee.
C
I
totally
get
that
and
an
understanding
of
that,
and
at
the
same
time
I
think
there
also
has
to
be
sensitivity
to
the
context
here
that
the
letter
is
really
around
communication
concerns.
It
was
sent
to
us
almost
a
month
ago.
This
is
the
soonest.
We
were
able
to
get
it
to
full
council
in
order
to
respond
to
it
and
for
community
members.
That's
a
pretty
long
wait
to
find
out
what
their
city
is
doing
specifically
around.
Some
of
these
concerns,
so
I
appreciate
all
the
additional
information
council
president
shared.
C
I
totally
agree
with
her
around
just
communication
in
general.
I
think
it
hasn't
met
a
lot
of
our
expectations.
I
can
certainly
speak
for
myself
when
I
say
that
you
know
we
even
can
go
back
and
look
at
the
level
of
support.
We
got
around
civil
unrest.
I
think
it
was
nine
days
after
the
civil
unrest
started
that
we
received
our
first
situational
updates
by
email,
so
certainly
we're
trying
to
improve
things
with
communication.
I
know
I've
worked
closely
with
staff.
We've
got
a
number
of
web
pages
that
have.
E
C
B
Thank
you
I'll
come
in
here
and
just
reflect.
I
think.
Maybe
some
of
the
questions
are
coming
from
the
fact
that
often
as
council
members,
we
are
responding
to
particular
letters
and
obviously
communications
calls
emails
from
our
constituents
or
neighborhood
organizations
and
business
groups
within
our
wards.
B
I
think
part
of
the
question
stated
by
this
group
of
community
organizations
was
around
coordination
between
elected
officials,
and
so
I
can
see
why
the
group
of
council
members
who
represent
this
area
are
asking
for
a
sign
of
unity
from
the
whole
council
to
the
answers
that

Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
want
to
bring
this
resolution
for
judy
correa.
It's
not
only
a
former
council
member
but
a
constituent
as
well.
She
served
two
terms
on
the
council.
Had
a
popular
local
television
access
show
the
judy
carreo
show
and
everyone
that
knows
her
or
knew
her
knows
that
she
just
was
so
energetic
a
lit
up
a
room
and
a
just
a
positive
person
in
our
community.
That
was
very
involved
in
so
many
ways.
C
There's
so
much
work,
that's
reflected
in
the
resolution
of
her
accomplishments
to
our
city
over
her
lifetime,
and
we
know
she'll
be
very
missed
by
many
people
in
the
community.
K
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
I
certainly
will
be
voting
in
favor
of
this
resolution.
I
had
the
opportunity
to
interact
with
judy
on
on
multiple
occasions,
multiple
issues.
I've
been
a
guest
on
her
show,
the
cutie
carrera
show
many
times
and
just
really
appreciated
her
willingness
to
not
only
serve
in
the
arena,
but
then
continue
to
highlight
and
uplift
the
stories,
the
issues,
the
challenges
and
and
the
victories
that
were
the
city
of
minneapolis,
and
she
was
a
awesome.
K
B
Thank
you,
council.
Vice
president,
I
also
had
the
chance
to
be
on
judy's,
show
and
benefit
from
her
energy
and
mentorship
that
she
extended
to
so
many
of
us.
I
think
particularly
supporting
the
leadership
of
women.
B
R
N
N
N
K
B
B
That
carries
and
that
resolution
is
adopted
next
we
have
a
closed
session.
The
purpose
of
this
is
to
receive
a
security
briefing
related
to
emergency
response
procedures
and
systems
for
public
services,
infrastructure
and
facilities.
As
listed
on
the
agenda,
I
will
before
I
move
to
close
the
meeting.
I
will
call
on
the
city
attorney
to
give
us
the
reasoning
for
this
requested
closed
session.
S
Under
the
minnesota
open
meetings,
law,
minnesota
statute,
section
13
d,
point:
zero,
five
subdivision:
three
d
meetings

briefings

systems,
to
discuss
emergency
response
procedures
and
to
discuss
security
deficiencies
in
or
recommendations
regarding,
public
services,
infrastructure
and
facilities.
If
disclosure
of
the
information
discussed
would
pose
a
danger
to
public
safety
or
compromise
security
procedures
or
responses,
your
staff
wish
to
discuss
with
you
a
variety
of
matters
that
are
covered
under
these
provisions
of
the

S
B
Thank
you,

I
will
move
that

be
closed
pursuant
to
the

mom
minnesota

section
13d
.05
to
discuss
emergency
response
procedures

systems
for
public
services,
infrastructure
and
facilities,
as
explained
by
the
city
attorney,
and
the
purpose
of
this
closed
session
is
to
ensure
that
our
emergency
systems
are
running
well
in
normal
times
and
in
extraordinary
times,
and
I'm
quite
sure
that
there
will
be
public
follow-up
to
the
items
discussed.
K
N
H
N
N
N
N
K

That
carries.
We
will
then
convene
in
our
closed

my

you'll
sign
out
of
this
meeting
and
into
the
separate

They
will.
We
will
then

Councilmember

closed

related
to

systems

I
just
want

B
Thank

It
is,
I
think,
difficult
for
all
of
us
to
be
a
part
during
this
time,
and
I
am
missing
our
our
celebrations
of
holidays
together.
The
sweet
treats
that
I
know
we
would
have
had
at
city
hall,
but
thank
you

highlighting
the
holiday
and
my
very
best
wishes
to
everyone
who's
celebrating
for
a
wonderful,
remote
holiday.
This
year,
council
member
ellison.
R
Thank
you,
council
president.
I
just
wanted
to
announce
that
early
voting
has
begun.
We
had
an
awesome
event
at
the
early
vote
center
yesterday,
sort
of
announcing
that
early
voting
has
begun
and
and
and
showcasing
all
of
the
safety
procedures
and
everything
that
we're
doing
to
make
sure
that
if
people
opt
to
vote
in
person
early
that
that
they're
gonna
be
protected
but
again
really
urging
folks
to
to
to
to
mail
in
their
ballots,
but
just
wanted
to
make
an
announcement.
B
Thank
you,
councilman
elsin,
and
thank
you
to
all
the
work
of
the
election
staff
in
the
clerk's
office
who
are
preparing
for
this
election.
We
have,
I
think,
half
of
minneapolis
voters
have
requested
mail-in
ballots
or
there's
a
huge
number
of
mail
ballots.
You
can
see
a
picture
of
them
in
our
election
services
on
twitter
and
on
social
media.
B
Thank
you
so
much
to
everyone,
who's
working
so
hard
for
this
year's
election,
making.
Sure
all
of
our
votes
are
counted
in
what
will
be
a
very
different
timeline
of
an
election
on
election,
with
many
more
mail-in
ballots
so
and,
of
course,
working
to
support
everyone's
health
who
are
choosing
to
vote
in
person.
D
I'm
sorry
I
I
was
hoping
to
add
on
with
some
of
those
comments
that
councilmember
ellison
had
made,
and
I
appreciate
his
being
with
us,
as
we
did
a
conference
to
promote
the
first
day
of
early
voting.
As
he
said,
today
is
the
first
day
of
absentee
balloting
for
the
2020
presidential
general
election
that
kicks
off
46
days
of
actual
election
days,
in
which
voters
who
choose
to
participate
early
either
voting
in
person
or
by
mail
or
under
other
matter
that
is
allowed
by
federal
or
state
law.
D
I
have
an
update
to
share
this
far.
The
city's
elections
and
voter
services
division
has
received
and
processed
requests
for
absentee
ballots
from
more
than
114
000
voters
out
of
our
registered
voter
base,
which
is
more
than
thousand
so.
That
means
thus
far
on
the
first
day
we
have
roughly
44
of
our
total
registered
voter
base
in
the
city
of
minneapolis
has
requested
a
mail
ballot,
and
that
represents
the
total
number
of
ballots
that
were
mailed
out
today,
and
we
still
continue
to
receive
mail
ballot
requests
and
we
have
46
days
to
go.
D
In
addition,
the
elections
team
reports
that
they
have
already
served
since
8
am
this
morning
more
than
200
voters
who
chose
to
show
up
in
person
at
our
early
vote
center
to
cast
their
absentee
ballot
in
person.
Those
are
obviously
significant
numbers,
I
would
say
unprecedented,
and
it
is,
as
I
said,
the
first
day
of
absentee
balloting.
D
There
are
now
less
than
seven
full
weeks
until
the
presidential
general
election
on
tuesday
november
third,
and
I
wanted
to
state
publicly
that
our
information
technology
department
has
launched
a
brand
new
and
improved
website
for
our
elections
website.
It's
more
focused
on
voters

community
needs
so
that

best
sources
for
current
accurate,
reliable
