Description
Minneapolis City Council Meeting

Hi
everyone
I'm
Lisa
bender
I'm,
the
president
of
the
Minneapolis
City
Council,
thanks
for
joining
us
today,
we
wanted
to
gather
as
a
full
body
of
the
Minneapolis
City
Council.
All
12
members
are
here
to
respond
to
the
announcement
that
we
just
heard
from
Governor
walls
and
Department
of
Human
Rights
Commissioner
Rebecca
Lucero,
along
with
lieutenant
governor
Peggy
Flanagan.
B
So
I
am
going
to
begin
by
reading
a
statement
that
is
from
all
12
members
of
the
Minneapolis
City
Council
and
then
we'll
hear
from
council
vice
president
Andrea
Jenkins
and
council
members,
Jeremiah
Olsen
fleet,
Cunningham
and
alonger
Cano,
and
so
after
I
speak
I
will
turn
it
over
to
council
vice
president
for
her
statement.
So
again,
this
is
a
statement
from
all
12
members
of
the
Minneapolis
City
Council
George
Floyd
should
be
alive
today.
Mr.
B
Floyd's
death
is
just
one
instance
of
unthinkable:
violence
against
black
men
by
law
enforcement
generally
and
the
Minneapolis
Police
Department,
specifically
our
community,
especially
communities
of
color,
has
a
deep
mistrust
of
law
enforcement.
Given
the
actions
of
Minneapolis
police
officers
over
decades,
we
welcome
and
fully
support
the
many
Minnesota
Department
of
Human
Rights,
robust
investigation
of
the
Minneapolis
Police
Department.
B
We
urge
the
state
to
use
its
full
weight
to
hold
the
Minneapolis
Police
Department
accountable
for
any
and
all
abuses
of
power
and
harms
to
our
community
and
stand
ready
to
aid
in
this
process
as
full
partners.
The
City
Council's
oversight
of
the
Minneapolis
Police
Department
has
been
historically
constrained
by
the
city
charter
and
state
law,
and
we
welcome
new
tools
to
pursue
transformational
structural
change
to
how
the
city
provides
for
Public
Safety.
C
C
I
know
you
don't
care
what
we
say
you
care
about
what
you
do,
and
this
is
action,
do
we
need
your
help
to
make
it
right?
I
am
supportive
of
systemic
change
in
the
way
that
Public
Safety
is
done
and
will
be
working
to
move,
work
and
funds
away
from
the
police
department
to
alternative
structures
and
investments
in
community
safety
and
community
development.
C
We
are
moving
on
this
legislation
now
and
we
understand
that
racism
not
only
impacts
black
and
brown
and
Native
communities.
It
harms
every
American,
so
I
support
this
action
by
the
Department
of
Human
Rights.
It
is
one
tool
that
will
help
this
community
create
the
type
of
Public
Safety
Department
that
we
deserve.
I
want
to
express
my
full
support
for
our
first
black
chief
police
chief,
madero,
Evan,
Dando
and
I.
Think
this
action
will
help
him
to
accomplish
this
and
submit
systemic
cultural
shifts
that
we
hope
to
see
in
our
public
safety.
B
D
Yes,
madam
president,
thank
you
good
afternoon.
Everyone,
my
name
is
Philippe
Cunningham
and
I.
Am
the
Minneapolis
City
Council
member,
representing
the
fourth
ward
in
North
Minneapolis,
with
the
with
the
announcement
of
this
investigation,
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
not
only
our
Police
Department,
is
being
called
to
task,
not
only
for
the
murder
of
George
Floyd,
not
only
for
systemic
racism
and
how
the
city
police's
its
people,
but
also
called
the
task
for
the
systemic
racism
that
permeates
the
entire
institution
of
our
local
government.
D
However,
we
must
use
every
tool
in
our
toolbox
to
expedite
systems
change
and
expand
what
systems
change
can
look
like
I,
along
with
my
colleagues,
welcome
this
investigation
and
the
opportunities
it
provides
to
identifying
and
root
out
systems,
policies
and
practices
that
perpetuate
racial
discrimination
in
our
local
institution
of
policing.
I,
do
not
see
this
investigation
as
an
indictment
of
Chief
arredondo.
Someone
I
strongly
support
not
only
as
our
police
chief,
but
as
an
all-around,
amazing
human
being.
D
His
transformational
leadership
and
vision
of
what's
possible
for
MPD
is
limited
by
the
very
systems
that
have
created
the
racial
disparities
in
policing
and
discord
between
police
and
our
communities.
Much
the
same
as
those
of
us
in
the
system
seeking
to
change
it
from
within.
He
alone
cannot
bring
this
vision
of
a
better
MPD
to
life
with
alone
and
within
a
few
years.
There's
a
real
opportunity
here
to
support
his
leadership
and
vision
through
the
tools
of
the
state.
I
continue
to
poor
chief
Arredondo
wholeheartedly
as
we
move
through
this
process.
D
B
E
Thank
You
Madame
president,
and
thank
you
to
my
colleagues
for
speaking
on
this.
You
know
we
have
got
to
drastically
reimagine
how
we
keep
people
safe.
In
the
same
you
know,
I,
don't
think
I
would
have
thought
that
it
would
have
been
Minneapolis
that
revealed
to
us
as
a
country
just
how
much
our
current
system
of
policing
does
not
work.
F
E
What
I
mean
by
that
is
in
the
last
couple
of
years.
You
know
in
2012
we
had
an
investigation
by
the
DOJ
and
the
MPD
basically
got
a
clean
bill
of
health
and
I.
Think
that
so
we've
got
to
be
more
diligent.
We've
got
to
be
stronger
and
we
can't
just
sort
of
check
the
box
and
tell
the
public
we
tried.
We
did
it,
we
looked
into
it
and
everything's.
Fine
things
aren't
fine.
The
public
recognizes
that,
and
we've
got
to
do
everything
that
we
can
to
drastically
reimagine.
How
we're
keeping
people
safe,
I.
E
Think
that
my
colleagues
really
covered
everything
else.
Really
well
on
no
single
chief
is
going
to
be
able
to
check
a
department.
That's
been
out
of
control
for
decades.
I
think
that
this
department
has
really
been
in
open
revolt
against
the
people
of
Minneapolis
since
since
well
before
this
chief
and
this
mayor
or
the
last
chief
in
the
last
day,
and
so
with
that
I'm
joining
my
colleagues
and
supporting
this.
B
G
G
You
know
my
name
is
el
americano
I'm,
the
councilmember
for
the
ninth
board
and
also
the
chair
of
our
Public
Safety
Committee,
and
this
is
the
first
time
that
I've
been
able
to
address
our
community
and
our
our
officers
and
our
city
since
the
cold
and
cruel
murder
of
mr.
George
Floyd,
which
should
have
never
ever
happened
and
I
just
want
to
say
that,
as
the
chair
of
public
safety,
I
am
really
deeply
sorry
that
this
has
happened.
G
I
wish,
we
could
have
done
more
to
prevent
a
situation
like
this
I
want
to
acknowledge
right
now
in
this
moment
and
for
the
past
days,
the
deep
pain
and
hurts
that
I
see
in
our
community
the
rightful
rage
that
our
community
is
feeling
in
this
moment
in
time.
I
want
express
my
support
for
the
peaceful
protesting
that
has
been
happening
day
after
day
in
our
city
and
I
want
us
to
do
better
for
you.
I
want
us
to
do
better
for
you
and
with
you.
G
G
We're
gonna
need
help.
We're
gonna
need
a
lot
of
help
to
deconstruct
those
legacies
of
white
supremacy
and
systemic
racism,
and
so
it
is
a
very
welcoming
move
that
the
state
is
choosing
to
engage
and
put
attention
and
energy
on
to
this
topic.
We
welcome
I
personally
welcome
other
jurisdictions
to
also
step
up
and
support
us
in
this
process
to
be
a
part
of
it.
G
Those
are
the
qualities
I've
seen
in
our
chief
in
the
ones
that
he
is
trying
to
infuse
throughout
her
system.
But
time
and
time
again,
this
toxic
culture
of
long-standing
policing
traditions
that
have
exploited
communities
of
colors
for
many
years
continues
to
rear
its
ugly
head
and
I.
Think
that
it's
clear
based
on
what
happened
last
Monday,
but
it's
time
for
deep
structural
change
and,
lastly,
I
want
to
say,
keep
organizing
on
this.
G
The
series
of
events
that
we
have
seen
as
a
response
to
what
happened,
whether
it
was
the
termination
of
the
officers
or
that
our
Attorney
General,
is
now
in
charge
of
the
investigation
and
now
today,
with
the
state
taking
action
to
also
start
investigating
those
are
games.
That
movement
has
brought
forward.
Please
keep
organizing
on
the
ground.
Please
keep
talking
about
these
issues
show
up
for
each
other's
in.
You
show
up
for
each
other
new
ways,
because
this
transformation
is
not
going
to
be
challenged.
G
Free,
we're
gonna,
face
new
challenges,
new
situations,
new
conversations
that
many
of
us
perhaps
aren't
ready
for
so
we're
gonna
need
each
other.
We're
gonna
need
to
be
there
for
one
another.
We're
gonna
be
engaged
in
communicating
and
collaboratively
building
a
new
safety
system
for
our
city.
So
please
do
keep
organizing
keep
reaching
out
block
by
block
the
actions
you've
seen
today,
around
accountability
I
believe
are
a
full
credit
to
the
social
movements
that
have
been
brought
forward
and
I
want
to
support
you
in
continuing
to
do
that.
B
Thank
you
guys,
remember
Cano,
so
now,
I
just
want
to
say
too
I
just
appreciate
so
much
these
four
council
members,
speaking
on
behalf
of
the
Minneapolis
City
Council.
Today,
their
leadership
is
critical
and
they
have
the
full
support
of
this
whole
body.
The
12
council
members,
so
I
a
lot
of
the
things
that
we're
saying
today
are
a
very
high
level,
but
also
want
to
say
that
the
council
members
have
so
much
depth
of
knowledge
in
what
has
been
tried
tons
of
ideas
about
what
we're
imagining
for
the
future.
B
So,
while
we're
talking
in
high-level
today
about
this
specific
action
that
was
just
announced
by
the
state
that
we
learned
about
in
the
last
24
hours,
we
are
also
digging
into
those
details
as
well.
So
I'd
like
to
open
it
up
to
questions
now
and
my
staff
asked
for
folks
to
email
if
they
had
questions
so
the
first
would
be
leis
from
the
starch
of
you.
H
H
I
B
We
probably
won't
be
able
to
have
you
know
everyone
weigh
on
on
every
question.
So
in
conversations
with
Commissioner
Lucero,
we
were
able
to
learn
a
bit
more
about
the
next
steps
and
I
just
want
to
take
time
to
thank
her
for
being
so
open
and
collaborative
with
us.
Over
the
last
24
hours.
She
was
able
to
personally
speak
with
every
member
of
the
Minneapolis
City
Council
and
her
staff
are
already
speaking
with
our
Department
of
Civil
Rights,
led
by
director
of
Roma
Korbel
to
get
into
these
details.
B
So
really,
the
Department
of
the
State
Department
can
answer
those
kinds
of
detailed
questions
better,
but
our
staff
are
already
looking
at
the
city
and
state
level
to
develop
a
list
of
short-term
changes.
That
might
be
things
like
policy
change
or
even
different
kinds
of
discipline
or
enforcement
of
our
existing
policies
and
then
longer-term
change,
which
would
require
more
involvement
from
our
community
and
I.
B
Think
when
my
colleagues
heard
this
news,
there
was
the
openness
that
you've
heard,
but
a
really
deep
interest
in
centering
our
community
and
again
acknowledgement
that
we
have
done
so
much
community
engagement
and
there's
been
so
much
leadership
from
within
the
Minneapolis
community
that
we
want
to
make
sure
is
centered
on
those
especially
long
term.
Next
steps
so
I
think
the
Commissioner
said
in
her
statement
today
that
we're
moving
very
quickly.
I
could
echo
that
about
the
next
steps
and
those
details
should
be
available
very
quickly.
H
B
I
mean
so
I
think
that's
a
great
example
of
something
that
the
city
of
Minneapolis
would
still
be
taking
a
lead
on,
perhaps
in
partnership
with
the
state.
But
we
know
from
our
conversations
that
this
process
does
not
preclude
the
city
of
Minneapolis
and
the
Minneapolis
City
Council
from
taking
our
own
action
and
I
think
we
are
actually
very
well
positioned
to
transform
Public,
Safety
and
actually
to
elaborate
on
that.
D
You,
madam
president,
so
yes
I'll,
speak
more
specifically
to
the
new
and
alternative
systems
of
Public
Safety
outside
of
policing.
So
we
as
the
city
in
the
City
Council.
We
have
done
a
lot
of
work
already
with
laying
the
groundwork
the
foundation
for
beginning
to
build
and
expand
new
systems,
namely
in
creating
the
office
of
violence
prevention
within
that
office.
D
We
are
putting
systems
in
place
that
address
gang
violence
that
address
trauma.
Community
trauma
that
address
domestic
and
family
violence,
we're
putting
those
seeds
in
place
right
now.
What
is
necessary
is
to
continue
to
think
bigger.
We've
had
the
9-1-1
work
group
made
up
of
city
staff
as
well
as
community
members,
really
thinking
about
what
is
possible
when
we,
when
folks
call
into
9
1
1,
to
be
able
to
get
the
kind
of
more
appropriate
responses
for
folks
who
are
trained
to
deal
with
those
kind
of
crises.
D
So
I
gave
the
example
of
mental
health
crises,
family
violence
of
opioid
overdoses,
for
example.
Our
police
officers
are
not
training
to
do
that.
They're
not
sure
we
often
hear
from
from
officers
that
you
know
they're
not
trained
social
workers
and
they
I've
heard
firsthand
and
folks
saying
that
they're
not
the
best
ones
to
respond
to
that.
So
what
we
need
to
be
doing
as
a
city
is
thinking
about.
How
are
we
expanding
systems
to
be
able
to
address
those
gaps?
D
That
can
happen
at
the
same
time
as
we
are
really
pulling
apart,
looking
at
examining
and
and
reconstructing
what
what
our
system
of
policing
looks
like,
but
policing
is
one
component
of
a
larger
spectrum
of
strategies.
Around
Public
Safety
I've
always
been
a
strong
advocate
for
the
public
health
approach
to
public
safety.
So,
looking
at
violence
as
a
disease
that
spreads,
it
spreads
interpersonally,
it
spreads
intergenerationally
and
as
I'd
like
any
other
contagious
disease,
it
can
be
treated
and
prevented
and
in
extreme
circumstances
folks
can
be
quarantined.
D
What
we
have
been
doing
as
a
country
as
we
as
we
have
skipped
the
first
steps
in
being
able
to
treat
violence
or
immediately
quarantine
in
folks,
rather
than
looking
at
the
underlying
problem.
So
we
have
really
good,
really
good
foundation
in
place
for
us
to
continue
to
build
on
that.
What's
next
is
making
sure
that
we're
investing
in
those
in
the
same
capacity
as
we
are
in
our
institution
of
policing.
J
I
think
I
just
was
curious
about
the
idea
of
defunding
police
that
a
police
budget
and
understand
the
mayor
is
working
on
an
amended
budget
right
now.
You
guys
are
going
to
take
that
up
at
some
point.
I
guess
you
to
give
me
some
more
details
on
what
that
might
look
like
and
when
defunding
that
police
department
might
look
like
yes,.
B
Thank
you
for
the
question
and
I.
Imagine
that
the
twelve
of
us
would
have
slightly
different
answers
to
the
question,
but
I
will
start
with
some
of
the
nuts
and
bolts
of
the
budget
process
coming
up
so
to
be
clear,
the
budget
amendment
coming
up
would
be
in
order
to
cut
a
significant
amount
of
money
from
our
budget,
something
like
165
million
dollars
for
just
the
second
half
of
2020.
So
we
are
already
looking
at
deep
cuts
across
our
city
Enterprise.
B
The
mayor
is
intended
to
propose
the
budget
on
June
12th
with
a
process
that
includes
two
public
hearings,
leading
up
to
an
adoption
of
the
amended
budget
by
June
30th,
it's
a
very
quick
timeline,
but
because
of
the
Cova
19
pandemic
and
the
economic
crisis
that
we
are
facing
as
a
city
and
really
the
dramatic
shift
in
our
economic
environment.
That's
changing
our
budget.
You
know
changing
the
shape
of
our
budget
each
day.
B
That
goes
by
that
we
don't
make
these
adjustments
we're
losing
money
and
spending
money
we
don't
have,
and
we
have
councilmember
Palmisano
our
Budget
Committee
Chair,
who
can
answer
any
specific
questions
about
the
budget
process?
I
can
offer
my
perspective
on
on
the
question
and
I
know.
A
lot
of
folks
are
asking
for
us
to
defund
or
dismantle
the
police
department.
You
know,
for
a
number
of
us
have
supported
shifting
funds
away
from
MPD
or
policing
and
into
violence
prevention.
B
Other
council
members
in
the
past
have
have
taken
more
of
a
frame
of
supporting
adding
funds
to
both
I
think
those
are
conversations
we're
gonna
have
to
have
as
a
body
as
we
build
consensus.
I
will
say,
the
public
of
reducing
funds
in
the
police
department
has
changed
significantly
in
the
in
the
last
week,
at
least
what
I'm
hearing
from
my
constituents
in
more
attend
and
across
the
city
I
haven't
committed
to
any
specific
number
or
approach
in
our
budget
in
part,
because
it's
such
an
atypical
process
for
us.
B
We
aren't
going
into
the
annual
budget
process
we're
looking
to
cut
significant
funds
from
across
the
enterprise,
but
I
think
there
is
increasing
public
support
for
us
to
take
a
very
radical
approach
to
public
safety,
including
making
significant
changes
to
Department
structure
to
beginning
to
shift
responsibilities
away
from
the
department,
and
that
will
certainly
have
a
budget
component.
Ic-Cap
nora
Palmisano
is
be
able
to
answer
and
speak
to
the
budget
as
well.
A
Thank
you,
madam
president.
Just
I
don't
want
to
belabor
the
question
brant,
but
I
do
want
to
share,
because
all
of
this
is
happening
very
real
time.
Eight
days
ago,
the
huge
task
ahead
of
us
for
the
month
of
June
was
to
find
a
way
to
cut
165
million
dollars
from
her
from
the
rest
of
this
year's
budget,
which
would
feel
like
an
over
an
approximately
24%
cut
to
our
budget
and
that
budget
and
those
budget
cuts
for
the
rest
of
this
year
was
not
about
policy.
A
It
was
about
a
response
to
the
Cova
global
health
pandemic
and
the
needs
of
balancing
our
city
budget.
So
this
policy
conversation
these
policy
conversations
that
have
been
reinvigorated
this
past
week
really
deserve
time,
and
if
you're
asking
me
personally
and
I,
don't
speak
for
the
body,
it
should
be
a
2021
budget.
Conversation
I
think
it
needs
time
to
do
appropriate,
vetting
I.
Think
that
I,
don't
think.
A
I
know
that
if
we
don't
have
a
budget
revision
done
by
the
end
of
June,
that
we
are
on
the
hook
for
being
a
million
dollars
behind
each
day
that
we
don't.
So
that
is
the
urgency
before
us,
but
I'm
not
sure
that
it
is
possible
to
encompass
all
of
the
public
policy
changes
in
this
budget
cycle
that
was
really
for
emergency
one,
which
is
the
global
health
pandemic.
Thank.
F
B
Thanks
for
the
question
and
again
I'll
invite
comes
numbers
that
they
want
to
turn
in.
I
can
begin,
you
know.
Are
this?
The
council,
members
on
the
City
Council,
have
offered
a
number
of
suggestions,
but
many
of
them
have
really
come
from
our
community
and
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
how
much
community
engagement
we've
had
on
the
issue
of
Public,
Safety
and
policing
over
the
past
number
of
years.
B
Certainly,
the
six
and
a
half
years
that
I've
been
in
office
and
how
much
that
community
leadership,
really
matters
and
I
think
that
will
be
the
center
of
gravity
that
will
lead
lead
us
forward
is
what
we're
hearing
from
our
communities.
You
know
that
some
of
the
ideas
that
I've
heard
in
the
past
is
strengthening
our
civilian
oversight
functions,
perhaps
even
thinking
about
establishing
a
new
city
charter
Department
that
would
be
focused
more
holistically
on
public
safety.
B
We
know
that
we
run
into
significant
challenges
in
with
the
current
rules
of
our
union
contract
and
so
I
think
that
is
one
thing
that
the
new
process
with
the
state
will
really
help
us
address,
I,
think
separately
and
together.
This
City
Council
has
made
a
number
of
statements
about
very
radical
change
and
I
see
where
else
in
would
like
to
speak
so
I'll
turn
it
over
to
him
to
elaborate
on
that.
E
Thank
you,
madam
president,
you
know
I
think
that
there
are
a
ton
of
ideas
and-
and
my
colleagues
are
certainly
able
to
speak,
to
speak
to
a
whole
host
of
ideas.
One
of
the
things
I
wanted
to
mention,
though,
and
it's
not
the
only
idea
but
but
it's
something
I
think
is
important-
is
that
we've
we've
got
to
figure
out
a
way
for
us
to
be
able
to
hold.
E
For
us
to
hold
folks
accountable,
who
are
in
the
police
department,
I
think
that
there's
finishing
I
think
that
that's
been
a
huge
struggle
for
us.
You
know
and
to
put
that
in
perspective,
you
know
when
we
fire
earner
and
it
goes
to
arbitration,
we
end
up
being
forced
to
rehire
about
50%
of
those
officers
and
and
those
numbers
stay
pretty
consistent.
E
That
means
that,
when
an
officer
violates
the
trust
of
the
public,
so
much
so
that
the
chief
feels
like
that
person
needs
to
be
fired,
the
process
determines
that
the
chief
is
getting
it
wrong.
Half
of
the
time
do
we
think
that
the
chief
is
getting
the
wrong
half
of
the
time
and
not
just
this
chief,
but
any
chief
I'm,
not
so
confident
of
that,
and
so
I
think
that
we
need
to.
We
need
to
change
something
about
our
processes
and
and
I
think
the
other
important
reason.
E
Why
is
because,
when
you
look
at
some
of
the
other
folks
who
work
for
the
city,
when
you
look
at
someone
who
may
be
as
an
inspector
in
the
health
department
or
maybe
who
someone
who
drives
a
snowplow,
if
you
drive
a
snowplow
for
the
city,
you
are
not
empowered
to
kill
people.
Frankly,
if
you
are
a
health
inspector
with
the
city
or
non
power
to
kill
when
you
get
hired
as
a
police
officer,
you
are
empowered
to
kill
people
via
your
discretion
and
I.
E
I
Thank
you
and
I
am
appreciate
the
question
in
the
discussion
and
I
think
right
now.
What
we're
clearly
doing
is
trying
to
look
at
everything.
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
what
I
consider
to
be
some
of
the
main
levers
that
we
can
influence
as
a
policy
body
in
city
government.
We've
already
talked
about
the
budget,
I
think
that's
a
key
thing
that
we're
examining.
We've
also
talked
about
the
city
charter.
That's
one
of
the
other
levers
that
we
have.
We
also
have
our
city
ordinances.
I
We
have
a
chapter
on
the
police
department
itself
and
we
also
have
a
chapter
on
police
oversight,
we'll
be
examining
those
four
potential
changes.
We
also
have
contract
that
we
have
with
our
labor
organization,
that's
a
significant
document
and
that's
the
decision
that
the
council
also
makes
so
we're
going
to
be
looking
at
all
five
of
those
things
very
carefully,
and
then
we
also
have
the
laws
that
are
outside
of
us
that
we
can't
impact
that
we
must
examine.
B
G
You,
madam
president,
just
checking
that
I
was
unmuted
I,
think
you
know.
Speaking
from
my
perspective
as
the
council
member
for
the
9th
Ward,
we
are
looking
at
using
the
budget
on
June
3rd.
The
the
June
30th
vote,
as
the
first
stir
the
first
time
that
we
as
a
body
can
very
clearly
send
a
message
about
the
future
of
policing,
for
not
only
our
city
but
for
the
country.
Many
many
cities,
communities
and
organizations
and
groups
are
looking
to
Minneapolis
to
see
what
we
do
to
see.
G
How
we
respond
to
this
moment
in
time,
and
so
I
think
that
for
myself
I've,
you
know
and
working
a
lot
with
community-based
groups
to
figure
out
what
are
those
next
steps
in
the
process.
We
need
to
take
within
the
next
15
days
to
put
together
a
proposal
that
we
can
engage
with
with
our
council
members
and
with
others
at
the
city
to
implement
and
begin
to
I
guess
revive
through
our
budget
on
June
and
June
30th.
So
for
me,
I
am
looking
at
changes
in
the
budget
on
this.
In
this
upcoming
June
30th
vote.
G
I
think
we'll
have
an
opportunity
to
deepen
that
direction
and
to
crystallize
that
conversation
about
what
is
permissible
as
safety
in
our
community
and
what
is
absolutely
what
will
absolutely
not
be
tolerated
anymore.
So
I
think
that,
for
me,
the
the
process
is
really
more
important
and
it
will
help
us
arrive
at
a
good
place
in
on
June
30th.
G
And
so
for
me,
it's
a
a
both/and
moment
of
putting
our
policing
systems
on
a
path
towards
abolition.
It's
not
gonna
happen
overnight
and
it's
not
gonna
happen
next
year
and
it's
not
gonna
happen
without
the
full
guarantee
that
every
community
member
who
doesn't
feel
safe
because
of
something
that's
happening
up
on
their
block
gets
addressed,
and
so
that's
deep
work.
That's
deep
movement
work
that
needs
to
happen.
That's
deep,
Alliance
work
that
needs
to
happen.
G
The
deep
neighbor-to-neighbor
work
that
needs
to
happen
and
that's
what
I
want
to
help
fund
and
I
think
that
we
I've
seen
over
time.
I
would
say
publicly
over
easily
the
last
three
years
that
there
are
certainly
other
things
that
our
residents
and
our
community-based
groups
are
and
our
nonprofits
can
be
capacitative.
To
respond
to.
B
And
I'm,
not
here
any
hearing
any
so
I
will
think
first,
my
colleagues
for
taking
the
time
at
the
last
minute
to
join
us
today
and
for
all
of
the
collaboration
and
then
thank
you
to
the
members
of
the
media
who
have
joined
us
today.
Of
course,
many
of
us
have
much
deeper
perspectives,
so
sure
consumers
will
be
available
after
this
there
are
follow-up
questions.
Thank
you
again.
