Description
Minneapolis City Council Meeting
https://lims.minneapolismn.gov/
C
Thank
you,
I'm
Lisa
bender
I'm,
the
president
of
the
Minneapolis
City
Council
and
I'm,
going
to
call
this
regular
meeting
of
the
City
Council
for
June
12th.
To
order
I'll
note,
this
meeting
has
remote
participation
by
members
of
the
City
Council
and
city
staff
as
authorized
under
Minnesota
statute,
section
13
D
point
0
to
1
due
to
the
declared
local
public
health
emergency.
At
this
time,
I'll
ask
the
clerk
to
call
the
roll,
so
we
may
verify
the
presence
of
a
quorum.
D
C
The
record
reflect
that
we
have
a
quorum
before
we
begin
today.
You
know
I
just
want
to
just
note
that
since
George
Floyd's
killing
and
all
of
the
other
things
our
community
has
been
through
in
the
weeks
that
followed,
I
just
want
to
thank
all
of
my
colleagues
on
the
City
Council
for
your
efforts
and
all
of
the
support
that
you've
given
to
our
community,
which
has
been
in
deep
pain,
and
you
know,
with
the
coronavirus
and
its
impact
on
businesses
with
George's
killing
with
the
fires
that
followed.
C
Our
council
colleagues
were
literally
in
the
streets,
helping
support,
Community
Safety,
helping
literally
pour
buckets
of
water
on
fires
and
I
know.
Each
of
you
has
been
working
in
your
own
way
to
reach
out
to
constituents
to
support
the
community
and
really
respond
to
what
our
community
is
saying
in
so
many
different
ways.
C
So
I
just
want
to
note,
as
we
begin
today's
meeting
that
were
in
such
an
unusual
time
of
multiple
layers
of
crisis
and
trauma,
and
we
have
a
long
road
ahead,
but
again
just
wanted
to
highlight
each
of
you
and
your
work
and
leadership
and
how
important
it
is
right
now
and
my
deep
thanks
to
this
incredible
City
Council
team
and
the
staff
who've
been
also
just
responding
to
crisis,
to
be
innovative
and
to
work
so
hard.
In
a
time
when
our
city
is
facing
such
budget
uncertainties.
C
It
just
really
shows
how
much
our
public
staff
care
about
this
community,
how
invested
they
are,
and
it's
really
noticed
so
I
know.
Many
of
us
have
talked
with
staff
about
all
range
of
things
and
also
just
want
to
thank
all
of
the
city
staff
who
have
been
so
responsive
and
so
compassionate
and
to
our
community.
You
know:
you've
called
us.
C
You've
emailed
you've
been
in
the
streets,
each
of
us
participating
in
our
own
way
with
many
different
perspectives,
but
all
dealing
with
crisis
and
trauma
and
I
think
our
commitment
to
you
is
to
continue
to
listen
to
show
up
and
the
way
that
each
of
us
can
do
best
and
continue
to
support
our
Minneapolis
community
through
this
time.
So
with
that,
I
can
pause
and
see
if
any
other
customers
want
to
say
anything.
I
know
it's
a
little
unusual
but
unusual
circumstances
as
well.
G
G
But
you
know:
we've
had
a
number
of
people
who
have
been
killed
by
the
police
department.
That
means
that
we
have
a
number
of
families
who
are
still
in
our
community.
Who
are
you
know,
they're
experiencing
this
trauma
all
over
again
and
so
I
want
to
express
my
condolences
to
them
and
just
say
that
I'm
gonna
do
everything
in
my
power
to
sort
of
meet
my
obligation
as
a
as
a
councilmember
to
keep
people
safe
and
so
I.
G
Just
thank
all
my
colleagues
for
having
been
in
conversation
for
having
with
with
without
get
each
other
and
and
for
paying
close
attention
to
your
constituents.
I
think
it
would
have
been
really
easy
for
a
lot
of
us
to
crawl
under
Iraq.
It's
been
really
stressful
between
the
unrest
and
coronavirus,
but
I
didn't
see
that
from
any
of
my
colleagues,
everybody
stepped
up
to
adjust
their
constituents.
I
mean
I,
really
admire
respect
that.
So
that's
all.
C
I,
don't
see
anything
cucumber
awesome
for
those
words,
so
the
agenda
for
today's
meeting
is
before
us.
We
do
have
a
few
amendments.
First,
we
have
a
resolution
brought
by
myself,
council,
vice-president,
Jenkins
and
council
members
Fletcher
Cunningham,
Cano
and
Palmisano,
and
this
is
a
resolution
expressing
the
intent
of
the
City
Council
to
create
a
new
model
for
cultivating
safety
in
our
community
and
directing
staff
on
several
next
steps.
This
resolution
would
be
added
in
under
the
order
of
new
businesses.
C
Item
number
three:
second:
we
have
a
resolution
offered
by
councilmember
Palmisano,
but
terminates
the
state
of
local
emergency
call
by
the
mayor
on
May
28th
and
extended
by
the
council
on
May
30th
pursuant
to
resolution,
number
2020
are
152
Clare.
For
my
colleagues,
this
is
a
procedural
resolution
that
confirms
the
prior
action.
We
took
to
end
that
emergency
on
this
date
and
this
resolution,
which
was
requested
by
the
clerk,
provides
an
affirmative
affirmative
end
to
that
the
cleared
state
of
emergency,
so
that
would
be
under
item
number
four
under
new
business.
C
If
finally,
I've
noticed
for
councilors
Ellison
Cano
born
in
Fletcher
and
myself
of
intent
to
bring
for
the
subject-matter
of
an
ordinance
to
create
a
new
charter
Department
to
provide
for
Community
Safety,
and
that
would
be
a
question
submitted
to
voters
in
the
November
general
election
that
would
be
I
did
I.
Had
it
added
as
item
number
three
under
the
order
notice
of
ordinance
introduction.
D
B
C
C
J
C
C
F
D
C
C
K
K
Also,
as
has
been
met,
noted
I
want
to
give
just
a
huge
thank
you
to
all
of
our
city
staff.
I
know
they
are
bearing
so
much
I
know
they
are
tired.
I
know
that
every
day
at
times
seems
like
it
is
more
difficult,
but
they
are
working
around
the
clock
and
they're
doing
their
absolute
best
to
balance
these
competing
needs
that
are
being
thrown
at
them
minute
by
minute
and
I
just
wanted
to
say
a
heartfelt
thank
you
to
all
of
them:
departmental
staff,
mayor
staff,
council
staff
staff
throughout
our
entire
enterprise.
K
We
deeply
appreciate
you
and,
through
all
this
course
we're
still
in
the
middle
of
a
global
health
pandemic.
The
governor's
peacetime
emergency
remains
intact,
signaling
to
all
of
us
that
it's
still
important
for
Minneapolis
to
be
on
alert
and
the
emergency
declaration.
With
respect
to
the
unrest,
as
was
noted,
expires
today
and
I've
been
working
with
council
members
promised
a
councilmember
Palmisano
office
to
bring
forward
just
a
formal
recognition
that,
in
fact,
the
expiration
takes
place
and.
E
K
A
K
K
All
fees
associated
with
applications
for
temporary
expansions
are
waived
and
we're
trying
to
expedite
this
process
as
much
as
possible,
noting
that
many
of
these
businesses
do
not
have
the
financial
ability
without
expansion
of
premises
to
continue
to
operate
next
is
paid
leave
amendment
this
emergency
regulation,
number
2020
14,
and
this
amendment
just
clarifies
the
scope
and
operation
of
the
paid
sick
leave
Act
and
the
emergency
family
and
medical
leave
expansion
Act
for
emergency
responders.
K
Next
is
the
health
report
by
the
numbers
total
approximate
number
of
completed
tests
is
380
1841,
which
is
more
than
double
from
the
last
time
we
met,
and
so
we
are
seeing
a
substantial
uptick
right
now.
As
far
as
Minnesota
case
information,
the
total
positives
is
twenty.
Nine
thousand
three
hundred
616
24,000
of
those
patients
no
longer
need
to
be
isolated.
There
have
been
1249
deaths
and
994
of
those
have
taken
place
in
long
term,
assisted
living
care
facilities
in
Hennepin
County.
There
are
9,000
815
positive
cases.
K
The
total
positive
cases
this
is
through
Minneapolis
is
3880
for
a
thirteen
percent
of
the
state's
cases,
that's
slightly
at
a
higher
slightly
higher
rate
than
our
population
and
we're
about
forty
percent
of
the
county's
cases.
The
total
hospitalized
at
617,
with
177
needing
ICU
care,
3290
of
them
have
recovered
159
deceased.
K
Next
is
for
the
the
congregate
care
facilities,
which
we
know
has
been
a
real
hotbed
for
both
spread
and
contraction.
The
congregate
living
facilities
in
Minneapolis
really
continue
to
see
the
new
cases
most
of
the
new
cases
among
residents,
while
accounting
for
about
12
percent
of
confirmed
cases,
they
account
for
79
percent
of
kovat
19
deaths.
K
So
again,
12
percent
of
the
cases
about
80
percent
of
the
deaths,
majority
of
white
cases,
55
percent
or
45
and
older
cases
among
blacks,
Asians
and
Hispanics
are
under
45
years
of
age
over
60%
for
all
the
next
is
testing.
The
Minnesota
Department
of
Health
is
recommending
expanding
Cova
19
testing.
Due
to
recent
mass
events
that
were
spurred
by
the
murder
of
George
Floyd,
thousands
of
people
may
have
been
exposed
to
Cova
19
due
to
the
large
concentrations
of
people
in
the
area
and
even
with
masks.
K
We
know
that
practicing
safe
physical
distance,
distancing
was
largely
impossible.
Identifying
and
testing
individuals
who
may
have
participated
in
large
public
events
will
improve
the
ability
to
identify
cases
and
institute
appropriate
isolation
and
Quarantine
measures
from
there.
Free
testing
is
being
offered
this
month
in
Minneapolis
and
in
st.
Paul,
and
the
Minneapolis
Health
Department
is
focused
on
supporting
community.
K
Health
care,
centers
testing
event,
which
is
at
the
Cedars
in
partnership
with
the
mPHA,
and
we're
pleased
to
see
this
partnership
moving
forward,
because
we
know
that
some
of
these
larger
complexes
are
particularly
higher
risk
due
to
both
presence
of
seniors
as
well
as
density
and
concentration
of
people.
They
are
also
conducting
Cova
19
testing
for
Riverside
Plaza
residents
in
partnership
with
Hennepin
health
and
testing
criteria
for
all
sites
include
people
who
have
participated
in
any
large
gatherings
included,
but
not
limited
to
protests,
community
cleanup
and
recovery
efforts,
vigils,
neighborhood
meetings,
etc.
K
F
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
Mary
I
wanted
to
just
highlight
towers
as
a
site
that
really
needs
testing.
I
have
expressed
these
concerns
to
the
Commissioner
musekamp,
but
I
wanna
wanna
encourage
you
mayor
to
help
with
that
as
well.
I
spoke
with
I'm
the
director
up
in
PHA
and
former
city
council
member
Warsaw
me
and
he's
deeply
concerned
about
that
facility.
K
Madam
president,
Kelso
vice
president
I
agree
and
here
entirely
and
have
had
similar
conversations
with
whatever
is
new
taita
consul,
member
or
something's
new
title
Asst
director
warsaw
me
yeah.
Thank.
F
K
Moving
on
to
Office
of
Emergency,
Management
and
workforce,
the
city's
workforce
continues
to
maintain
normal
work
for
strength
and
essential
functions
of
government.
The
daily
rate
of
workers
on
duty
is
still
and
continues
to
be,
between
89
and
91
percent
of
the
total
workforce,
with
approximately
79
percent
of
workers
on
duty
are
working
remotely
that
excludes,
of
course,
police
and
fire
Oh
Ian's
efforts
remain
focused
on
the
awareness
of
trends
impacts
in
the
health
of
our
residents.
K
I
K
K
The
following
Friday
July
17th
will
have
budget
markup
and
then
in
the
morning
of
Wednesday
July
22nd,
there
will
be
a
second
public
hearing
on
the
proposed
2020.
Revised
budget
I
know
there's
a
lot
of
dates
there
and
you
know
we
are
working
through.
First,
the
administrative
budget
followed
by
more
deep
and
operational
related
cuts,
followed
by
the
actual
2021
budget,
as
is
normally
scheduled
and
so
I
know.
This
is
a
lot
to
keep
track
of.
J
You,
madam
president,
and
Thank
You
mayor
I,
just
want
to
continue
to
raise
the
same
concern
raised
before
went
the
the
older
process.
We
were
told
you
know
we
have
quickly
that
we're
losing
money
every
every
day,
I
just
in
phase
one
and
as
we
go
through
this
I
just
want
to
stress
that
we're
making
the
cuts
that
we
need
to
make.
K
Next,
the
item
is
Public
Safety,
MPD
trends.
Violent
crime
is
up
right
now,
9.6
percent
year
date.
Property
crimes
are
up
about
ten
point:
three
percent
year-to-date
the
the
past
two
weeks.
There
has
been
an
increase
in
spots
spots,
shot
or
activations,
and
during
the
week
of
May
25th,
there
were
1300
ShotSpotter
activations,
which
is
high,
and
during
the
week
of
June
4th,
there
were
just
over
600
ShotSpotter
activations.
K
Year-To-Date
2020
has
the
a
higher
shooting
victim
total
than
we've.
Seen
in
recent
years,
there
were
a
total
of
37
gunshot
wound
victims
from
the
past
two
weeks:
public
safety
reform
as
part
of
the
temporary
restraining
order.
We
will
be
submitting
state
law
changes
necessary
for
us
to
make
the
substantial
reforms
we
all
want
on
or
before
July
30th.
K
Additionally,
we
are
working
on
an
abbreviated
version
of
that
list
to
push
at
the
state
level.
During
the
special
session,
we've
seen
a
package
of
reforms
from
the
people
of
color
and
indigenous
Koch
at
caucus,
Minneapolis
delegation
members
and
the
house
Public
Safety
chair
the
houses
first
public
safety
committee
hearing
is
tentatively
scheduled
for
this
Saturday
at
noon.
Where
reform
proposals
will
be
discussed,
Esper
fire,
the
Minneapolis
Fire
Department,
has
transitioned
back
into
a
normal
operations
mode.
The
run
volume
has
remained
consistent
with
a
slight
downturn
compared
to
the
same
time.
K
Madam
President
council
vice
president.
Yes,
we
do
know
that
it
is
at
this
point
I
believe
disclosed
on
the
publicly
available
database,
I'm,
not
sure
if
they're
representative
from
our
Police
Department,
our
chief,
is
on
right
now.
Perhaps
they
can
provide
more
detail
about
location
as
well
as
status
of
victims
and
others.
K
K
C
K
There
are
many
lawsuits,
as
you
mentioned,
there
are
lawsuits
from
both
individuals
as
well
as
entities,
including
the
ACLU,
and
that
one
I
believe
was
with
regard
to
journalists.
Yes,
there
will
be
an
investigation
I
as
to
the
nature
of
independent
verse,
9
I
think
it
would
largely
depend
on
the
specific
incident
that
we're
talking
about.
As
you
know,
there
were
many.
There
have
been
many
lawsuits
that
have
been
filed.
I,
don't
know
if
the
city
attorney
can
comment
further.
At
this
point.
E
Hello,
Eric
Nielsen,
City,
Attorney's,
Office,
council
president.
Yes,
we
are,
you
know
we're
in
discussion
I'm,
looking
at
all
of
our
options
and,
as
you
know,
we
are
also
immediately
at
work
on
the
further
work
in
the
the
Department
of
Human
Rights
investigation
and
exploring
our
options
with
legal
assistance
in
that
realm
in
particular,
and
so
so
yes,
I
mean
it
way.
C
Thank
you,
I
think
it
will
be
important
to
share
as
much
as
we
can
about
that
in
the
public.
I
know.
In
the
past,
the
Department
of
Justice
has
has
been
involved
in
that's,
maybe
not
as
relevant
an
option
right
now
in
this
administration.
So
just
looking
at
the
options
for
that
kind
of
your
scale
review,
we
rested
the
state,
but
I
know
that
you
know
I
know
that
there
were
also
state
law
enforcement
out
there
as
well
so
I
look
forward
to
following
up.
Thank
you
both
thank
you.
K
Thank
you,
and
yes,
we
have
at
least
two
of
the
independent
investigations
happening
right
now,
as
you
mentioned
council
president,
through
both
the
DOJ,
as
well
as
the
state
but
you're
correct,
it's
not
fully
independent.
If
the
statements
evolved
to
911,
our
911
employees
continue
to
perform
at
a
high
level
as
they
have
for
the
last
several
weeks.
Residents
and
businesses
should
continue
to
call
911
for
medical
emergencies,
fires
and
immediate
public
safety
threats.
K
K
Activity
and
I'll
try
to
get
through
this
as
quickly
as
possible.
The
governor
has
called
a
special
session
which
convenes
today,
Friday
June
12th.
The
length
of
that
special
session
as
with
as
well
as
agreements
are
not
yet
fully
known.
Ig
are
has
been
working
with
legislators,
Department
staff,
council
members
and
others
on
gathering
information
for
economic
assistance
for
impacted
businesses
and
communities,
and
you
know
we're
going
to
need
it.
H
Think
you
council,
president
Thank
You
mayor
going
back
to
the
last
slide.
I
just
wanted
to
ask
a
follow-up
question
about
9/11
one
response,
because
I've
gotten
a
lot
of
questions
about
this.
Can
you
just
tell
us
what
the
current
status
of
9/11
one
response
is?
I
know
that
priority
one
calls
are
being
answered.
We've
received
a
communication
sort
of
earlier
in
the
process
when
there
was
more
going
on
that
some
priority.
K
Madam
President
councilmember
Fletcher.
You
are
correct
in
that
for
a
period
of
at
least
days,
the
ability
to
respond
to
the
9/11
priority,
one
calls
that
we
were
getting
was
was
somewhat
limited.
The
figure
that
I
recall
getting
from
the
chief
is
that
at
any
one
time
there
were
somewhere
in
the
range
of
65
9-1-1
calls
priority
ones
that
we
weren't
able
to
answer
during
that
at
least
initial
phase.
Now,
as
the
unrest
due
to
the
murder
of
George
Floyd
has
somewhat
subsided,
we
are
back
on
more
of
a
normal
track.
K
I
Mr.
mayor
members
of
council,
this
is
Mark
ruff
director
Hughes
from
our
emergency
communications
is
not
on
the
call
this
morning,
but
I
have
been
in
regular
contact
with
her
and
I.
Think
the
mayor's
summary
of
being
back
to
normal
operations
is
accurate.
If
there's
specific
data
that
you
are
looking
for,
councilmember
Fletcher,
please
let
us
know,
and
we
will
be
immediately
responsive
to
that.
K
I'll
move
to
the
federal
update
right
now.
City
staff
had
an
initial
meeting
with
staff
from
senators
Klobuchar
and
Smith
and
representative
McCollum's
and
all
Mars
offices
on
Tuesday
this
week
and
they
were
briefed
on
potential
federal
aid
and
community
investment
means
the
path
to
aid
at
the
federal
level.
To
be
frank
is
steep,
but
the
commitment
from
our
federal
delegation
is
is
very
strong
and
they
remain
very
committed.
A.
K
K
Next
is
the
gap
funding
package.
The
initial
group
of
1500
applicants
have
all
been
assigned
to
community
prevention,
partners
and
PHA
or
city
or
county
staff,
to
complete
the
full
verification
and
approval
process,
and
as
of
Wednesday
June
10th
178
applicants
have
been
approved
with
assistance
payments
or
are
in
progress.
Presently,
I'll
note
that
this
obviously
does
not
tackle
the
whole
entire
need,
but
we
are
doing
everything
we
can
to
both
work
diligently
as
well
as
get
the
best
leverage
for
each
one
of
our
dollars.
K
Additional
city
and
county
staff
have
been
assigned
to
assist
in
the
approval
process
as
well
and
in
an
effort
to
expedite
the
timelines.
Approvals
are
expected
to
increase
dramatically
in
the
next
few
weeks
as
applicants
and
property
owners
submit
the
necessary
information
to
complete
the
verification
process
and
then,
finally,
the
forgivable
loan
program,
14%
of
small
business
loan
applicants
who
are
awarded
loans,
168
of
1190
applicants,
87%
of
those
went
to
businesses
in
wards
four
five,
six,
eight
and
nine
eighty
percent
went
to
buy
Pok
owned
businesses.
K
C
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
I'll
note
for
the
public
that
the
amended
agenda
items,
including
the
extension
of
the
local
public
health
emergency
I,
am
are
all
on
the
posted
agenda
on
the
city's
website
and
so
I'll
see.
If
there
are
any
questions
or
comments
from
Council
members
from
the
mayor,
councilmember
Cunningham.
L
K
Madame
president
councilmember
Cunningham
I'm
sure
the
answer
is
yes.
I
do
not
have
that
list
before
me
right
now,
I,
don't
foresee
there
being
any
privacy
issues,
so
I
don't
want
to
commit
a
hundred
percent,
but
I
believe
the
answer
is
yes
and
we
can
work
with
David,
Frank,
Eric,
Hanson
and
Sean
Pierce
to
to
get
that
information
to
you.
If
you're
interested.
F
Thank
You
Madame
president
and
mr.
mayor,
and
just
to
extend
council
member
Cunningham's
request.
I
would
like
to
have
a
little
more
content.
You
know
I
mean
your.
Your
report
is
great.
It's
really
fast.
If
we
could
have
a
written
document
that
can
help
us
be
able
to
communicate
when
our
constituents
much
better.
K
B
C
B
M
Would
just
know
that
it
would
be
my
assumption
and
I
think
our
best
practices,
so
they
forgivable
loan
program.
For
example,
we
should
get
a
full
reporter
at
the
community
level
from
our
city
staff
on
that
soon,
I
really
appreciate
people
bringing
up
wanting
more
details
and
I
just
wanted
to
go
on
the
record,
expressing
that
that
would
be
great
and
let's
make
sure
those
details
are
in
publicly
through
our
committee
process
so
that
everybody
can
have
access
and
see
it
help
us
analyze
that
information.
Madam.
J
Just
Oh
Thank
You
mayor
one
to
follow
up
on
councilmember
Gordon's
request
that
these
go
through
committee
or
just
at
least
get
an
update.
I
think
some
of
the
things
that
we're
hearing
from
the
chief
of
what
things
there
that
he's
looking
at
doing
it'd
be
very
helpful
to
have
a
larger
report
to
get
a
little
more
details
about
this
early
warning
system
costs
what
we
kind
of
the
outcomes
we'd
expect
to
see.
Thank
You.
K
C
K
C
Right
so
that
completes
the
mayor's
reports
if
there's
no
objection,
I'll
direct
the
clerk
to
file
that
reports.
The
next
item
is
the
council's
resolution
ratifying
the
existing
local
public
health
emergency
with
an
updated
draft
that
includes
the
amendment
which
have
been
posted
online,
so
I'll
ask
the
clerk
to
speak
to
this
item.
Thank.
B
You,
madam
president,
as
the
mayor
indicated,
what
this
resolution
does,
as
you
know,
is
to
add
in
and
therefore
ratify
and
extend
the
coverage
of
the
emergency
regulations
that
have
been
issued
by
the
mayor.
The
mayor
indicated
that
emergency
regulation
in
verse,
13
and
14
were
added
since
the
last
action
by
council.
As
he
also
indicated,
regulation
number
13
has
to
do
with
easing
zoning
and
licensing
regulations
specific
to
restaurants
and
bars
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis
and
regulation.
B
Number
14
amends
certain
definitions
related
to
the
assignment
of
emergency
responders
status,
to
comply
with
federal
laws
related
to
emergency
paid,
sick
leaves
that
are
available
to
city
workers.
So
the
resolution
before
you
incorporate
those
emergency
regulations
that
have
been
issued
since
your
last
action
on
this
resolution
and
incorporates
those
as
part
of
that
council
action
going
forward.
C
M
This
is
more
of
a
general
comment.
I
think
it's
been
very
challenging
working
under
the
state
of
emergency
conditions,
I
think
when
it
was
originally
set.
We
were
thinking
the
timeline
might
follow.
The
states
state
of
emergency
I
think
we
might
all
benefit
from
figuring
out.
How
could
we
could
get
back
to
more
of
a
regular
pace
where
they
and
the
regular
normal
flow
I?
M
That
we
know
better.
I
know
that
this
is
what
allows
us
to
meet
virtually.
So
that's
a
big
question,
but
and
I
don't
want
to
analyze
and
talk
about
them
all
now,
but
at
least
I
wanted
my
to
share
my
desires
with
you
since
we're
all
here
and
we
don't
get
to
get
together
very
often
and
share
those
things.
D
Thank
You
Madame
president,
as
someone
who
started
out
is
not
very
high-tech.
I
have
finally
liked
the
enterprise
learned
to
adjust
to
this
virtual
meeting,
and
my
concern
about
this
conversation
has
to
do
with
the
inability
to
meet
virtually
I
feel
I'm
happy
for
my
colleagues
who
feel
like
they
can
go
out
and
resume
their
normal
lives.
But
my
mom
has
COPD.
I
haven't
been
able
to
see
her
and
ten
weeks
and
she's
afraid
to
see
me
because
she's
afraid
that
I'll
go
out
and
I'm
worried
about
second
phase
of
the
virus.
D
That
will
put
us
back
at
home
more
permanently.
So
I
would
ask
us
to
give
real
thought
to
how
we,
as
well
as
our
employees,
feel
about
having
to
come
into
the
office
in
large
numbers
to
facilitate
these
meetings
and
how
we
would
take
social,
distancing,
mask-wearing
and
all
of
the
other
precautions
extremely
seriously,
because
I
think.
If
we,
if
we
go
back,
it
will
make
our
colleagues
in
the
enterprise
feel
like
they
need
to
go
back
and
I.
D
Do
think
that
there
is
that
concern
within
the
enterprise
that
the
whole
world
is
moving
too
quickly.
As
the
cases
begin
to
rise,
so
I
would
just
ask
us
to
take
a
public
health
approach
to
thinking
about
what
ending
the
emergency
means,
because,
as
leaders
within
the
city
we've
made
it
acceptable
for
our
teams
to
work
remotely
and
they're
doing
so
pretty
successfully,
and
so
I
think
we
have
to
be
very
careful
and
and
to
be
fair.
D
This
was
not
at
all
meant
to
criticize
council
member
Gordon,
but
to
just
raise
the
topic
that
if
I
can
adjust
to
the
technology
vague-
and
it
took
me
a
long
time
too-
we
should
be
weighing
Public
Health
with
the
emergency
and
I
would
just
ask
that
leadership.
Take
that
very
seriously
not
just
for
us,
but
for
all
of
the
employees
that
would
have
to
come
back
to
facilitate
the
end
of
these
electronic
meetings.
Thank
you,
madam
president.
C
F
J
C
I
C
We
know
the
resolution
that
was
added
to
our
agenda
this
morning,
and
this
is
a
resolution
expressing
the
policy
intent
of
this
body
to
work
to
create
a
new
model
of
cultivating
safety
in
our
city.
This
resolution
is
authored,
together
with
myself
council
vice
president
Jenkins
and
council
members,
Fletcher
Cunningham,
Cano
and
Palmisano.
It
is
now
up
on
the
city's
website
in
the
limbs
system.
Under
our
posted
agenda,
it
is
quite
lengthy
and
if
any
council
member
wanted
to
read
it,
I
would
welcome
that.
C
B
C
Thank
you,
so
this
resolution
before
us
is
declaring
the
intent
intent
to
create
a
transformative
new
model
for
cultivating
safety
in
our
city.
It
describes
the
history
of
police,
violence
and
use
of
excessive
force
and
the
impacts
that
that
has
had
in
our
community.
It
talks
about
the
financial
liability
we've
experienced
as
a
city
related
to
those
use
of
force
incidents
in
the
past.
C
C
It
talks
about
systems
change
that
has
been
adopted
in
the
past,
highlighting
the
work
of
our
police
chief
madera
of
Arredondo
and
leading
that
work
and
the
importance
of
his
leadership.
It
talks
about
our
investments
in
community-based
safety.
Our
911
work
groups
work
along
with
council
members
to
look
at
ways
to
shift
response
to
community
needs
from
the
department
into
other,
more
appropriate
responses.
It
talks
about
how
much
of
our
budget
is
currently
allocated
to
the
police
department,
which
is
one
hundred.
C
Ninety
three
million
dollars
representing
over
thirty
six
percent
of
the
city's
general
fund,
which
is
more
than
twice
as
much
as
the
combined
budgets
for
Workforce
Development,
building,
affordable
housing,
homeownership
support,
small
business
support,
environmental,
sustainable
sustainability,
race
equity,
arts
and
culture
and
violence
prevention,
family
and
early
childhood
support,
youth
development,
sort,
Senior,
Services,
lead,
poisoning
prevention,
infectious
disease
prevention
and
protection
of
civil
rights.
All
combined.
It
talks
about
the
murder
of
George
Floyd,
the
impact
on
our
city
and
particularly
black
people
and
people
of
color
in
Minneapolis.
C
It
talks
about
others
who
have
died
from
police
violence
and
the
protests
and
uprisings
we
have
seen
not
just
here
in
Minneapolis
but
across
the
United
States
and
across
the
world,
reacting
to
the
killing
of
George
Floyd.
So
I
might
invite
one
of
my
colleagues
to
read
the
resolved
clauses
of
the
resolution.
C
F
Now,
therefore,
be
it
resolved
by
the
City
Council
of
the
city
of
Minneapolis
that
the
City
Council
will
commence
a
year-long
process
of
community
engagement,
research
and
structural
change
to
create
a
transformative
new
model
for
cultivating
safety
in
our
city.
Be
it
further
resolved
that
the
City
Council
will
engage
with
every
Willie
community
member
in
Minneapolis
centering,
the
voices
of
black
people,
American
Indian
people,
people
of
color
immigrants,
victims
of
harm
and
other
stakeholders
who
have
been
historically
marginalized
or
underserved
by
our
present
system.
F
The
screen
just
changed
on
me
and
I
can't
control,
be
it
further
resolved
that
this
process
will
Center
the
role
of
healing
and
Reconciliation.
The
process
will
require
healers
elders,
youth
artists
and
organizers
to
lead
deep
community
engagement
on
race
and
public
safety.
We
will
work
with
local
and
national
leaders
on
transformative
justice
in
partnerships
informed
by
the
needs
of
every
black
in
our
city.
F
And
I'm
not
sure
who's
controlling
this.
It's
really
difficult
to
lead
it
in
this
in
this
manner,
be
further
resolved
that
the
decades
of
police
reform
efforts
have
not
created
equitable
public
safety
in
our
community
and
our
efforts
to
achieve
transformative,
Public
Safety
will
not
be
deterred
by
the
inertia
of
existing
institutions,
contracts
and
legislation.
F
Be
it
FURTHER
RESOLVED
that
these
efforts
he
the
words
of
Angela
Davis
in
the
racist
society.
It
is
not
enough
to
be
non
racist.
We
must
be
anti-racist,
be
it
further
resolved
that
the
transformation
under
consideration
has
a
citywide
impact
and
will
be
conducted
by
the
City
Council,
in
a
spirit
of
collaboration
and
transparency
with
all
constructive
stakeholder
contributors,
including
the
mayor's
office,
the
police
chief
in
ofin
County
and
the
Minnesota
Department
of
Human
Rights.

can
partner
with
the
city
to
help
Minneapolis

C
J
Thank
you,
madam
president.
First
of
all,
lips
I
would
think
all
the
author's
for
working
on
this
resolution
and
I'd
like
to
add
my
name
to
that.
If
the
clerk
wouldn't
mind
doing
that,
I
think
one
of
the
things
I
want
to
say
about
this
and
why
I'm,
really?
Why
I
appreciate
this
approach?
I,
don't
I!
Don't
talk
about
this
a
lot,
but
my
my
history
of
working
in
Illinois,
with
a
very
large,
very
diverse
coalition,
to
abolish
the
death
penalty.
J
I
think
this
approach
mimics
that
a
little
bit
more,
which
I
like
to
see
with
that
divert
all
those
stakeholders
that
had
a
very
like
differed
on
views,
a
lot.
We
didn't
always
have
a
set
outcome.
We
were
going
for
or
what
we
wanted
to
look
like,
but
folks
kept
along.
They
had
faith,
they
had
an
open
mind
because
they
trusted
that
their
voice
was
gonna,
get
hurt.
J
L
Thank
you,
madam
president,
thank
you
to
my
colleagues
who
have
worked
on
this
alongside
me.
I'm
grateful
to
be
able
to
be
an
author
on
this.
A
lot
of
time
and
energy
went
into
this.
What
makes
me
so
excited
about
this
particular
resolution
is
because
it
names
reality
and
it
names
what
we're
going
to
be
doing
in
order
to
address
the
in
Justices
that
we
experience
as
a
part
of
our
current
reality.
This.
L
Actionable
item
I
know
that
sometimes
these
sort
of
process-
things
around
creating
work
groups
may
not
feel
tangible,
but
this
is
the
city
enterprise
beginning
to
coalesce
around
this
intention
that
the
City
Council
that
many
of
us
have
spoken
to
wanting
to
see
and
so
I'm
grateful
for
everyone
who
is,
it
was
put
the
time
and
energy
in
I
look
forward
to
collaborating
with
city
with
my
City
Council
colleagues,
as
well
as
city
staff.
One
of
the
things
that
I
think
is
most
important
that
is
named
in
this.
Is
the
community
engagement?
L
That's
ahead
of
us.
We
cannot
proceed
with
any
new
system
of
cultivating
public
safety
without
them
being
co-designed
with
communities
and
those
in
centering.
Black
and
brown
communities
were
disproportionately
impacted
not
only
by
police
violence,
but
community
violence
as
well.
It's
really
how
we
are
going
to
just
significantly
change
systems
and
the
outcomes
that
we
see
in
our
city.
I
am
very
excited
about
the
system's
change.
Work,
I'm,
glad
that
we
are
making
concrete,
actionable
steps
towards
doing
this
work
and
that
we
are
centering
first
and
foremost,
community
engagement
in
the
process.
L
I
think
that
that
is
so
powerful.
What
we
know
is
that,
historically
and
even
presently,
government
typically
works
top-down
and
government
working
top-down
has
resulted
in
the
outcomes
that
we
see
today.
What
we
have
here
is
an
opportunity
to
truly
model,
not
only
here
in
Minneapolis
before
the
rest
of
the
country.
What
does
it
look
like
for
us
to
build
from
the
grassroots
up
from
community
up?
L
How
do
we
follow
the
lead
of
our
constituents
and
the
residents
of
the
city
in
order
to
be
able
to
have
the
best
outcomes,
communities
who
are
impacted
by
the
issues
that
we
experience
at
the
community
level?
Those
are
the
folks
with
the
best
answers.
They
are
the
ones
who
have
the
solutions
so
by
creating
a
formal
framework
and
structure
for
us
to
actually
begin
the
process
of
having
that
input
in
the
ultimate
outcomes.
L
N
Thank
You
Madame
president
just
trying
to
make
sure
them
logged
in
properly
I
just
wanted
to
say.
Thank
you
so
much
to
all
of
the
council.
Members
who
worked
on
this
I
know
that,
since
the
event
at
Powderhorn
Park
with
hundreds
of
community
members,
many
of
us
have
pored
days
and
nights
into
what
this
future
of
what
these
future
steps
are
going
to.
N
To
us
saying
we
want
you
to
change
these
systems,
and
so
many
of
us
were
able
to
stand
together
to
say
that
we
acknowledge
that
the
current
system
is
not
reformable
that
we
would
like
to
end
the
current
policing
system
as
we
know
it,
and
that
we
would
like
to
create
a
completely
new
transformative
model
of
Public
Safety
that
centers
a
lot
of
things
healing
restorative
justice
relationships,
the
respect
and
dignity
that
so
many
of
our
community
members
want
and
deserve.
And
so
I
feel
like.
N
Today's
action
is
really
warranted
by
again
the
thousands
and
thousands
of
people
who
took
to
the
streets
and
who
came
to
Minneapolis
to
the
corner
of
38th,
Street
and
Chicago
Avenue
to
support
mr.
George
Floyd's
family
and
the
many
families
who
have
suffered
these
tragic
losses
over
decades
and
decades
of
police
reform
initiatives
that
have
not
yielded
that
result
that
we
want,
and
the
result
that
we
have
all
committed
to
to
have
as
part
of
our
racial
equity
work.
N
So
I
want
to
say
that
I
am
sharing
that
responsibility
and
inviting
others
to
take
heed
of
that
vision
that
we've
all
put
together,
because
it's
not
just
on
the
shoulders
of
the
city
of
Minneapolis
and
our
city
staff
to
help
deliver
that
process
and
that
outcome.
This
is
truly
a
moment
of
decentralizing
those
decisions.
N
F
B
F
F
We
need
to
incorporate
with
all
of
the
deep
work
that
has
been
done
by
groups
like
me:
claims
apply
the
Citizens
United
for
police
brutality,
the
black
visions
collective,
but
not
only
those
groups.
We
need
to
hear
from
the
entirety
of
our
community
centering
black
voices
and
that
can't
just
be
lip
service.
We
must
take
into
account
what
black
community
members
are
telling
us
and.
F
It
has
to
be
authentic,
it
has
to
be
coordinated.
It
can't
be
top-down,
as
has
already
been
alluded
to,
and
and
very
well
stated
and
and
so
I'm
committed
to
doing
this.
One
and
I
know
for
a
fact
that
the
mayor's
office
has
been
deeply
engaged
in
in
China.
Can
you
create
a
community
engagement
process?
We
we
don't
have
to
follow
that
model,
but
we
need
to
all
be
working
together.
There
are
no
expendable
people,
we
need
the
mayor.
We
need
the
police
chief.
F
F
C
B
M
Thank
you
very
much.
I'm
president
bender
and
I
guess:
there's
four
points
that
I
wanted
to
make,
and
the
first
was
that
I
certainly
want
to
be
an
author
of
this
and
I
really
appreciate
that
all
the
authors
who
are
reading
interpret
the
comments
and
considerations
that
were
coming
from
my
office
into
account
as
we
moved
it
forward.
M
I
think
that
it's
been
clear
that
the
community
is
divided
about
many
of
these
issues.
There's
many
different
perspectives
out
there.
I
know
for
a
fact
that
many
of
you
out
there
have
issues
and
concerns
and
things
that
you're
disappointed
with
about
me
and
about
every
single
council
member
and
about
the
mayor.
M
We
need
to
start
getting
ourselves
moving
in
the
right
direction
and
I
know
there
are
things
that
we
have,
that
we
can
criticize
about
one
another
in
our
communities
too,
and
I'm
sure
that
we're
going
to
hear
solutions
that
rubbished
the
wrong
way,
but
I
think
what
we
really
need
to
do
now
is
look
at
what
the
goals
are.
Look
at
what
the
the
opportunity
we
have
here.
It
is
and
take
advantage
of
that
I
guess.
M
The
last
thing
I
just
want
to
recognize
is
that
this
is
a
big
moment.
This
is
a
significant
opportunity.
I've
been
on
the
council
a
long
time
and
I've
been
interested
in
making
changes
along
these
lines
and
I
never
would
have
imagined
it
would
be
where
we
are
right.
Now,
I'm
united
behind
this
effort.
I
know
that
it
was
a
tragedy
and
tragedy
after
tragedy.
They
kind
of
got
us
here,
but
I
appreciate
hearing
it
is
a
big
moment,
but
as
we
kind
of
stand
on
this
big
moment,
I'm
full
apprehension
fear
worry
concern.
M
M
This
is
cause
for
celebration,
but
I
think
we
have
to
be
honest
about
the
apprehensions
and
the
concerns
too,
and
it's
going
to
take
us
being
so
focused,
so
determined
so
open,
so
accepting
so
validating
of
one
another
and
so
loving
for
us
to
get
there
and
that's
going
to
include
not
just
a
community
and
not
just
the
council,
but
that's
going
to
include
our
workforce.
A
workforce.
That's
been
amazing
through
this
all
and
we're
gonna
need
the
best
of
everybody
here
in
the
city.
If
we're
gonna
make
the
most
of
this
amazing
opportunity.
H
Thank
You
council
president,
and
thank
you
to
all
of
my
colleagues
who
have
really
come
together
to
really
do
what
the
city
is
asking
us
to
do,
which
is
to
lead
in
this
moment
to
craft
a
framework
and
a
plan
for
moving
the
city
forward
and
I
am
proud
of
the
way
that
we
have
pushed
each
other.
The
way
of
challenged
each
other
that
we
have
debated
this.
That
we
have
worked
together
to
to
come
to
this
resolution.
H
And
it
was
important
for
us
when
we
identified
that
there
was
alignment.
When
we
identified
that
we
were
ready
to
declare
our
intention
to
transform
our
city's
approach
to
public
safety.
It
was
important
that
we
do
that
at
the
same
time
that
it
gave
many
people
comfort.
It
also
gave
many
people
anxiety
because
it
was
unorthodox
because
it
did
not
come
with
the
plan
and
the
framework
and
the.
H
The
people
who
currently
are
feeling
heard
and
the
people
who
are
currently
not
feeling
heard,
and
we
need
to
make
sure
that,
by
the
end
of
this
process,
everybody
understands
how
their
input
can
be
received,
how
their
input
can
be
meaningful
included
and
how
we're
going
to
Center
the
voices
of
the
people
most
impacted
in
this
discussion.
I
want
to
especially
thank
council
vice
president
Jenkins
and
councilmember
Palmisano,
who
invited
me
into
a
conversation
about
ways.
H
We
could
improve
this
document
yesterday
and
and
put
a
lot
of
work
and
time
into
really
interrogating
the
content
and
making
sure
that
this
was
something
that
really
achieved.
That
intention
and
I
think
it
is.
A
remarkable
document
I
am
proud
to
have
my
name
on
it,
along
with
all
of
my
colleagues
and
deeply
appreciative
of
the
opportunity
to
vote
for
this
resolution.
In
this
moment,.
A
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Did
we
want
to
vote
on
this
first
because
I
don't
want
to
suppose
how
it's
going
to
go,
although
I
guess
I,
I
will
and
I'll
just
speak
now,
because
there's
12
authors
on
it,
you
know
it
was
really
important
to
me
and
I
am
so
grateful
for
council,
vice-president,
Jenkins
and
council
member
Fletcher
and
hours
of
work
yesterday
that
we
were
able
to
work
together
on
this.
We
really
needed
to
find
a
way
to
do
this
together
and
I
believe
that
this
document
shows
the
city
leadership.
A
This
resolution
is
an
act
of
council
and
leadership
in
unity
in
this
moment
is
something
that
the
public
deserves,
and
it's
something
that
I
think
is
healing
in
in
many
ways,
I
did
want
to
mention
that
something
that
had
sparked
a
huge
amount
of
conversation
yesterday
was
about
how
to
include
community
voices
in
the
challenge
of
that,
particularly
in
this
colvett
environment.
I
see
that
as
a
challenge
that
it's
something
we
are
all
going
to
work
need
to
work
to
overcome.
A
This
document
also
I
think
appreciates
the
voice
of
our
police
chief
midoriya
Arredondo,
who
have
had
a
chance
to
speak
with
about
this
document.
You
know
his
concern
is
not
compounding
trauma
in
this
moment,
and
he
knows
that
words
matter
and
I
think
that
this
document
helps
to
move
us
in
the
right
direction.
So
I
really
appreciate
council
member
Kaunas
additions
of
the
need
to
have
healing
in
this
document.
I
think
that's
a
really
important
component
of
it.
Every
successful
community,
every
successful
endeavor
of
our
city
requires
cooperation
and
coordination.
A
A
I
think
you
can
expect
the
mayor's
office
to
be
really
engaged
around
changes
to
police
in
this
moment
and
I
think
you
will
see
our
City
Council
doing
community
engagement
around
alternatives
and
alternative
responses,
the
civilian
oversight
that
we
manage,
the
ordinances
for
you
know
and
other
kinds
of
changes
or
incentives
in
public
safety
and
in
public
health
of
our
cities.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
everybody's
help
on
this.
C
So
I
want
to
make
sure
folks
know
to
expect
the
council
to
continue
to
act
on
change,
hopefully
in
partnership
with
many
other
leaders
of
the
cities,
certainly
in
full
cooperation
with
the
state,
civil
rights
investigation
and
other
potential
investigations
that
will
come,
but
really
creates
space
in
really
supporting
our
city
staff
and
other
partners
to
lead
these
conversations.
So
I
also
wanted
to
just
really
think
the
staff
as
well,
who
helped
us
pretty
quickly
come
up
with
next
steps.
C
So
I'll
just
note
that
you
know
the
people
in
Minneapolis
are
tired
of
hearing
commitments
for
change,
and
people
in
Minneapolis
are
tired
of
protesting
in
the
streets.
Every
time
police
kill
someone
in
our
community
and
then
seeing
it
happen
again,
and
that
has
what
has
led
to
massive
protests,
not
just
here
in
Minneapolis
but
in
cities
across
the
country
in
cities
across
the
world,
George
Floyd's
death
has
already
inspired
City
Council's
in
other
US
cities.
To
make
change
we
saw
here.
C
We
very
quickly
adopted
the
changes
in
the
temporary
restraining
order
as
a
very
first
step,
so
I
think
the
shared
commitment,
not
just
here
in
Minneapolis
but
to
policy
leaders
around
the
country,
our
colleagues
in
cities
across
the
United
States,
along
with
communities
across
the
United
States,
have
so
much
that
we
can
learn
from
and
draw
from.
But
here
really
in
Minneapolis
the
expertise
lies
in
our
community
and
I
appreciate.
C
So
much
emphasize
that
council
vice
president
Jenkins
made
on
really
centering
Black
Voices
front
and
center
and
centering
kameez
of
color
and
centering
folks,
who
have
experienced
violence
and
hearing
the
stories
of
interactions
with
our
Police
Department
and
understanding
the
way
that
we
can
build
up
those
new
systems
that
truly
keep
every
single
member
of
our
communities
safe.
That
is
our
goal
here
is
to
make
sure
every
single
person
in
Minneapolis
has
what
they
need
to
feel
safe
and
to
be
safe
in
our
community.
C
So
thank
you
again
to
all
the
council
members
for
your
unity,
for
your
collaboration
for
your
debate,
which
is
an
important
part
of
any
public
process
and
for
your
commitment
to
work
together
to
respond
to
our
community's
demands
for
change
there.
Any
further
discussion
I
will
move
this
item.
Is
there
a
second.
M
H
A
A
J
C
B
Madam
president,
before
I
do
that
there
was
another
resolution
that
was
added
to
the
agenda.
I
believe
I
may
have
missed
it
and
if
I
have
someone
tell
me
that
this
is
the
resolution
that
terminates
the
state
of
emergency
that
had
been
declared
council
member
Palmisano
had
a
resolution
that
we
added
to
the
agenda
before
we
picked
up
on
the
two
charter
amendments.
My
apologies,
if
I've
missed
that.
C
B
C
A
You,
madam
chair,
these
questions
were
posed
to
me
and
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
my
colleagues
knew
I
should
turn
my
camera
on
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
my
colleagues
knew
that
I
was
assured,
there's
no
negative
consequences
anticipated
by
ending
this
emergency
today
that
we
checked
with
FEMA,
we
checked
with
the
state
there
are
no
negative
impacts
or
consequences
and
hated
by
going
ahead
and
removing
the
mayor's
authorities
under
this
emergency
number.
Two.
Thank
you.
B
C
B
You,
madam
president,
there
are
two
items
that
are
being
referred
back
to
the
City
Council.
These
both
deal
with
election
and
redistricting
matters
that
are
currently
codified
within
the
city's
Charter.
As
has
been
discussed
numerous
previous
meetings,
there
are
conflicts
between
the
existing
provisions
of
state
law
and
the
city
charter.
The
proposal
is
to
submit
these
questions
as
ballot
questions
to
the
voters
in
November,
in
order
to
clarify
those
conflicts
and
bring
alignment
between
existing
state
law,
which
has
to
do
with
the
conduct
of
special
municipal
elections
and
also
the
timing
of
redistricting.
B
So
those
have
been
discussed
on
previous
occasions
with
the
policy
and
Government
Oversight
Committee.
These
matters
are
referred
back
to
Council.
The
requested
action
is
to
refer
these
items
back
to
the
Pogo
Committee,
so
that
it
can
work
out
the
ballot
language
to
be
submitted
to
voters.
This
November.
C
I
N
C
C
Carries
and
both
questions
will
be
referred
to
the
next
meeting
in
the
policy
Government
Oversight
Committee,
which
is
set
for
Thursday
June
18th.
My
completes
our
new
business
for
today
so
max
the
reports
from
our
standing
committees.
First,
we
have
the
report
from
the
business
inspections
and
zoning
committee
given
by
the
committee
chair,
councilmember,
Goodman,.
D
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I'm
trying
to
get
my
computer
going,
the
biz
committee,
business
inspections
and
zoning
is
bringing
forward
five
items
for
approval
this
morning.
Item
number
one
is
a
distilled
liquor
license
for
still
heart
item.
Two
is
an
on
sale.
Liquor
license
for
misfit
coffee
item.
Three
is
a
license
for
the
Hiawatha
Golf
Course.
This
is
for
food
and
beverage.
Item
number
four
is
the
tenant.
Are
some
changes
to
our
tenant,
relocation,
assistance,
ordinance
and
I'll?
D
L
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
just
wanted
to
speak
to
the
tenant
relocation
ordinance,
the
what
I
think
is
just
really
important
is
that
this
is
an
example
of
writing
new
legislation
and
then
learning
as
the
that
it's
being
implemented
and
coming
back
and
amending
it
to
really
show
that
the
policy
making
process
is
an
iterative
process,
as
we
rolled
it
out
as
the
author
for
this
as
we
rolled
it
out,
we
realized.
Oh,
these
are
how
some
folks
are
slipping
through
the
cracks
and
not
being
held
accountable
for
what.
L
What
the
intended
purpose
of
this
ordinance
is.
So
we've
expanded,
it
we've
learned
lessons
and
we
have,
and
we
are
now
bringing
it
forward
a
lot
of
times.
Folks
when
it
comes
to
policy
making
and
legislating,
they
will
sit
like
they
think
that
it's
a
one
and
done.
We
passed
the
legislation
and
now
we're
done,
and
it
has
to
be
perfect,
or
else
you
know
it's
no
good
it's.
This
is
an
example
of
learning
and
in
watching
the
implementation,
finding
the
gaps,
updating
and
constantly
improve
the
process
as
we
move
forward.
C
