B
Good
morning
my
name
is
lenny
palmisano,
I'm
the
chair
of
the
budget
committee
and
I'm
going
to
call
to
order
this
regular
committee
meeting
for
thursday
november
5th.
Before
we
proceed,
I
will
note
for
the
record
that
this
meeting
has
remote
participation
by
council
members
and
city
staff
as
authorized
under
the
provisions
of
minnesota,
open
meeting
law,
section
13
d
.021
due
to
the
declared
state
of
local
public
health
emergency.
C
C
E
C
B
Present,
thank
you.
Let
the
record
reflect
we
have
a
quorum
today.
We
will
continue
hearing
presentations
from
city
departments
on
the
mayor's
2021
recommended
budget
on
the
gen
on
the
agenda
this
morning
is
the
mayor's
office,
311
communications,
the
office
of
emergency
management
and
finally,
the
city
attorney's
office.
B
So
I
will
let
my
colleagues
know
that,
just
as
usual,
if
you'd
like
to
speak,
please
put
your
name
in
the
meeting
chat
with
a
comment
or
a
question
and
I'll
call
on
you
as
soon
as
I
think
it
makes
sense,
and
we
will
begin
today's
presentations
with
the
mayor's
chief
of
staff
gia
vitale.
Chia.
Are
you
here
with
us.
B
F
Go
ahead.
Thank
you
good
morning,
chair
palmisano
and
council
members.
My
name
is
gia
vitale.
I
am
mayor
jacob
fry's
chief
of
staff.
Thank
you
for
allowing
me
some
time
this
morning
to
share
an
overview
of
the
mayor's
office
budget.
You
can
move
to
the
next
slide.
Please.
F
F
Thank
you
so
to
meet
the
five
percent
targeted
budget
cup
for
our
department,
which
is
roughly
a
hundred
and
fifteen
thousand
000,
we
will
maintain
a
vacancy
for
a
policy
aid
position
through
2021.
F
you'll,
see
on
the
second
line
of
this
table,
an
allocation
reduction
that
is
consistent,
a
consistent
adjustment
across
the
enterprise
and
then
the
final
line
here.
The
non-personnel
adjustment
you
see
in
the
table
is
to
right
size,
the
mayor's
office
budget
to
reach
that
targeted
five
percent
reduction.
B
Right,
I
will
mention,
as
I
just
wait
one
few
more
seconds
for
my
colleagues
to
see
if
they
have
any
questions
or
comments
for
you.
B
That
I
appreciate
appreciate
all
the
work
of
the
mayor's
office
and
putting
this
together.
We
do
have
a
question
or
comment
from
council.
Vice
president
jenkins.
F
G
F
Yes,
chair
palmerston,
council.
Vice
president,
we
have
two
hiring
waiver
requests
in
queue
for
the.
F
Two
vacant
or
two
positions
that
are
pre
currently
being
vacated.
G
All
right,
thank
you.
H
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Thank
you
miss
vitelli.
That
was
a
pretty
brief
report.
If
you
could
go
and
elaborate
a
little
bit
more,
you
know
what
the
mayor's
office
does.
What
the
staff
is,
why
you
need
the
staff
you
have,
because
there
has
been
kind
of
an
increase
of
staff
over
the
years
and
kind
of
give
a
little
more
context
to
the
budge
request.
That'd
be
helpful.
F
Sure,
thank
you,
chair,
paul
masano,
council
member
schrader.
Thank
you
for
the
question.
Our
office
has
right
now
budgeted
for
13
staff
and
the
our
as
I
think
many
of
you
know.
We
have
our
office
structured
with
an
administrative
team,
a
policy
team
and
a
communications
team.
We
excuse
me
we
have.
As
I
mentioned,
we
have
one
vacancy
right
now,
that's
been
open
since,
and
the
majority
of
our
budget
is
personnel
budget.
F
We
have
a
pretty
small
discretionary
budget
for
things
like
office
supplies,
and
you
know
things
that
many
of
you
might
expect
in
an
office
budget,
but
really
managing
the
inquiries
and
policy
and
legislative
things
that
come
across
the
desk.
That's
the
staffing
level
is
feels
appropriate
right
now.
I
think
everybody
in
city
hall
probably
can
attest
to
feeling
like
they're,
stretched
pretty
thin
right
now,
with
the
amount
of
things
that
are
coming
in
and
so
the
13
member
staff
that
we
have
feels
appropriate
for
what
we
need.
I
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
thank
you
miss
vitale
for
this
presentation.
This
is
more.
This
is
a
comment
just
I
I
think
that's
that's
worthwhile
naming
things
may
feel
stretched
in
the
mayor's
office,
but
there
is
quite
a
robust
staff
there
and
like
we
as
a
city
council,
do
not
have
a
communications
team,
we
have
no
communication
support.
I
In
fact,
we
have
to
lean
into
our
policy
aids,
our
policy
aid
and
council
associate
I
mean
I
could
speak
for
my
ward,
which
I
represent,
a
a
war
that
is
majority
people
of
color,
concentrated
area
of
poverty,
area
of
concentrated
poverty
and
my
staff
spend
both
of
them.
I
would
say
like
easily
75
to
80
of
their
time
just
on
constituent
services,
because
my
my
ward
is
so
high
needs
the
five
percent
cut
between
the
the
electeds
between
the
mayor's
office
and
the
city
council.
I
They
are
not
the
same
one
staff
position
versus
our
ability
to
be
able
to
do
any
communications
to
be
able
to
do
outreach
and
engagement.
Again,
I
represent
an
area
that
has
historically
been
disenfranchised
from
civic
engagement.
I
So
to
say
that
one
staff
position
is
the
is
the
like:
a
staff
position
in
comparison
to
our
ability
to
do
outreach
and
engagement
like
those
are
not
the
same
things
that
five
percent
are
that's
not
the
like,
just
by
number
sure,
but
like
the
impact
of
that
is
not
the
same,
and
so
I
mean
the
fact
that
there's
a
communications
team
in
the
mayor's
office
when
we
as
a
city
council,
have
no
com
support,
and
I
know
that
one
of
the
positions
open
is
a
communications
position.
I
just
feel
like
there's.
I
There
is
opportunities
for
a
more
equitable
sort
of
burden
that
we
all
have
to
carry
if
we
are
going
to
be
expected,
as
city
council
members
to
be
able
to
do
community
engagement
and
outreach
with
predominantly
like
for
me
with
predominantly
people
of
color,
who
have
been
historically
disenfranchised.
If
I'm
going
to
have
to
pay
for
that
out
of
my
own
pocket.
I
In
order
for
that
to
happen,
I
just
feel
like
we
have
to
think
about
what
what
what
does
the
five
percent
equitably
like?
How
does
that
actually
impact?
So
I
just
needed
to
name
that,
because
of
the
fact
that
I
just
have
some
serious
concerns
about
the
impact
that
has
in
terms
of
civic
engagement
for
my
community,
the
amount
of
impact,
the
and
the
barriers
that
that
potentially
creates
for
north
side
voice
in
our
decision
making
process.
So
just
wanted
to
name
that
don't
necessarily
need
a
response.
I
It
wasn't
a
question,
but
if
you
feel
inclined
to
by
all
means,
but
just
no
no
pressure
to
respond.
Thank
you.
J
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
You
know,
I
think
some
of
my
colleagues
comments
are
kind
of
more
generally
speaking
things
that
we've
been
talking
about
in
other
department
presentations,
including
our
own,
and
I
do
feel
we
have
a
continued
need
to
really
act
on
these
evaluations
that
are
underway,
especially
in
the
area
of
communications
and
community
engagement.
J
The
multiple
crises
affecting
our
city
are
our
exposing
the
strains
in
our
system,
our
system
of
community
response
and
engagement,
internal
communications
and
others,
and
I
think
we
already
knew
there
was
room
for
improvement
in
those
places,
and
you
know
now
even
more
so
you
know.
Even
a
couple
of
years
ago,
I
was
in
a
meeting
with
council
vice
president
and
the
city
coordinator
and
the
mayor.
J
I
think
one
of
our
leadership
team
meetings
and
we
were
talking
about
what
happens
when
there's
a
crisis,
in
particular
a
police
involved
killing,
and
you
know
I
reflected
that
it's
actually
usually
the
city
council
member
who
coordinates
public
meetings.
I
noted
councilmember
palmisano
that
when
you
had
this
tragedy
in
ward
13
that
you
you
actually
did
such
a
good
job
of
of
convening
these
meetings
and
which
I
was
able
to
attend.
But
we
really
do
lean
on
council
offices
to
do
a
lot
of
that
frontline
community
engagement.
J
So
I
think,
as
natalie
what
you're
hearing
is
part
of
a
conversation
that
we've
been
having
about
how
to
really
define
the
different
roles
of
our
offices,
as
well
as
ensure
we're
communicating
and
then
understanding
whose
responsibility
is
to
create
content
and
communicate
with
the
public.
J
In
this
issue
of
counsel,
not
having
communication
support
is
you
know
becoming
more
and
more
difficult
as
the
communications
needs
increase?
I
did
want
to
note
that
I
do
as
well
as
the
mayor
review
the
hiring
freeze
waivers.
There
are
two
pending
for
the
mayor's
office,
one
the
policy
aid
position,
which
is
the
position
that
was
detailed
to
the
health
office
that
I
think
we
want
to
fill
very
rapidly
and
appreciate
so
much
the
mayor's
partnership
in
quickly
solving
for
the
staffing
issue
related
to
public
safety
engagement.
J
The
other
position
is
the
communications
position,
and
you
know
I
think,
given
what
we've
been
hearing
in
the
discussion
not
just
now,
but
up
until
now.
J
We
have
added
two
ftes
to
the
mayor's
office
since
I
have
been
in
office
and
then
ms
vitelli,
I
also
just
didn't,
want
to
ask
you,
since
we
heard
a
little
bit
about
the
structure,
is
there
a
council
liaison
in
the
mayor's
office,
or
is
it
tending
to
be
more
topically
focused?
I
know,
since
the
emergency
declaration
was
in
place
that
you
and
heidi
have
been
working,
you
and
ms
ritchie
have
been
working
closely
with
diana
in
my
office
to
communicate
with
the
council.
J
It
does
feel
like
another
area
where
I
myself
am
often
calling
colleagues,
I
know
my
my
two
staff
take
on
a
lot
of
extra
council
communications
responsibilities.
You
know
we've
had
various
different
ways
of
the
coordinator's
office
briefing
council
members
or
not.
F
Thank
you,
chair,
palmicidal,
council,
president
bender,
to
say
we
have
one
specific
person.
That's
designated
as
a
council
liaison
in
our
office
would
not
be
accurate.
I
think
it
is
often
a
case-by-case
basis,
depending
on
what
issue
might
be
arising.
F
I
think
you
all
have
probably
seen
during
moments
where
it's
a
maybe
an
urgent
thing
that
needs
to
be
communicated.
You'll
often
hear
from
myself
or
miss
richie
in
my
office
to
communicate
that
information,
or
sometimes
we
share
that
burden
with
the
mayor
to
to
quickly
try
and
communicate
out
as
best
we
can.
F
I
I
think
you
also
will
often
see
peter
ebnet
as
somebody
in
our
office
because
of
his
close
coordination
with
the
intergovernment
relations
team
is
often
a
person
that
is
somebody
who
is
asked
to
quickly
communicate
information
to
council
members
and,
of
course,
the
the
policy
team
in
my
office.
F
All
cover
different
subject
matters,
and
so,
depending
on
what
that
subject
matter
is
they
certainly
may
be
the
person
tasked
out
to
to
communicate
or
understand
something
from
one
of
your
offices
in
relation
to
ours,
as
well
or
across
across
the
enterprise.
J
Thank
you
and
it's
worth
noting
that
near
frye
is
very
accessible,
so
I
know
he
has
a
lot
of
direct
conversations
with
with
council
members
himself
as
well.
So
thank
you.
I
you
know
the
partnership
between
the
mayor's
office
and
the
council
is
really
important,
so
I
think
these
thoughtful
conversations
are
really
valuable.
Thank
you,
ms
vitale.
B
Thank
you,
I'm
not
seeing
anybody
else
in
queue.
I
do
want
to
point
out
that
the
way
that
different
public
offices
operate
is
very
different
jurisdiction
by
jurisdiction.
I
believe
that
the
county
commissioners,
for
example,
have
you
know
a
budget
for
their
district,
that
they
pay
for
a
lot
of
things
out
of,
and
with
that
comes
a
lot
of
different
kinds
of
discretion
over
what
kind
of
staffing
they
need.
B
It's
for
city
council,
that
is
a
lot
more
regimented
or
set
out
for
us
right.
We
can
hire
up
to
two
positions.
They
have
very
clear
salary
bans.
They
can't
really
go.
They
cannot
go
outside
of
those
bans
and
the
additional
amount
of
money
that
we
have
an
award
budget
really
doesn't
allow
for
hiring
anybody
else
per
se,
at
least
not
on
any
sort
of
part-time
basis
or
more,
but
it
is
notable.
You
know
that
other
other
cities
do
this
differently.
B
In
some
larger
cities
like
in
chicago,
for
example,
the
aldermen
have
a
field
office
right
so
part
of
being
able
to
be
seen
as
more
accessible
to
the
communities
that
they
represent.
They're
able
to
have
a
physical
presence
of
a
space
in
in
their
district
or
in
their
ward
and
there's
just
different,
there's
been
different
models
of
this,
and
I'm
not
sure
that
we
have
the
right
one
at
the
city
council
level,
a
question
that
I
have
for
the
mayor's
office
and
ms
vitale
would
be.
B
Could
you
help
us
understand
the
sheer
volume
of
city-wide,
constituent
contact
or
or
the
differences
and
responsibilities
right
like
what
kind
of
city-wide
constituent
inquiries
does
your
admin
team
get?
I
would
imagine
it's
probably
many
multiples
of
what
any
of
our
ward
offices
get
which
are
burdened,
but
I'm
just
I'm
just
curious.
Could
you
speak
to
that?
A
little
bit.
F
Sure,
chair
palmisano,
thanks
for
the
question
I
wish
I
could
tell
you
off
the
top
of
my
head.
What
a
daily
the
daily
incoming
in
in
is
of
information
in
the
various
platforms
that
we
receive
information,
but
an
example.
Certainly,
today,
after
the
protests
on
94,
I
know
that
our
voicemail
box
is
full
and
our
inbox
is
flooded
with
messages
and
I
suspect,
a
lot
of
the
council.
F
Members
are
as
well
so
and
I
think
we
often
feel
a
lot
of
outside
of
the
city
and
outside
of
the
state
and
for
inquiries
that
come
in,
and
so
that
is
just
additional
information.
F
We
have
to
assess
through
to
to
make
sure
that
we're
effectively
and
quickly
responding
to
our
own
constituents
I'd
be
happy
to
to
get
back
with
an
average
of
daily
what
it
looks
like
on
our
voicemail
and
the
the
email
and
such
that
comes
in,
but
off
the
top
of
my
head,
I
mean
it
varies
from
anything
you
can
imagine
like
a
right-of-way
issue
or
a
safety
issue,
and
everything
in
between.
B
F
Sure,
chair
palmisano,
the
communications
director
position
is,
I
think
I
would
find
it
as
the
more
strategic
thinker
setting
the
the
vision
for
for
the
office
and
traditionally
what
has
happened
with
the
at
least
you
know
the
two
and
a
half
years
I've
been
in
this
office,
the
communications,
the
press
secretary
position,
has
managed
a
lot
of
the
incoming
information
from
reporters
and
inquiries
from
that
respect.
So
you
know,
I
think,
on
a
daily
basis.
F
I'm
sure
we
get
multiple
requests
per
day
from
reporters
and
that
certainly
ebbs
and
flows
depending
on
the
topic.
Du
jour,
that's
happening
in
the
city
or
across
the
state
or
what's
happening
or
how
we
are
being
seen
internationally,
of
course,
referencing
back
to
may
and
june
of
this
year,
and
so
I
would
say,
the
communications.
F
The
press
secretary
also
has
managed
the
social
media
accounts
and
worked
with
our
communications
city
communications,
as
it
relates
to
this
the
website
and
also
often
does
a
lot
of
the
advance
or
prep
work
when
it
relates
to
any
media
that
we
are
doing
and
often
coordinates
with
council
members
and
city
department
heads
when
we're
doing
things
jointly.
C
B
Queue
so
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
your
presentation
today,
colleagues,
I
will
look
to
receive
and
file
all
of
these
at
the
end,
so
we
will
go
ahead
and
move
right
along
slightly
ahead
of
schedule
here
to
our
3-1-1
department
overview.
D
Chair
director,
glover
is
here
welcome.
Good
morning,
madam
chair
members
of
the
council,
my
name
is
trish
glover,
I'm
the
director
of
311.,
I'm
happy
to
present
the
mayor's
2020
but
recommended
2021
budget
for
311.
next
slide.
Please,
as
you
can
see,
we're
solely
funded
by
the
general
fund
next
slide,
and
then
these
are
some
of
our
base
cuts
to
be
able
to
meet
those
percentages
that
we
had
next
slide.
Please
so
3-1-1
my
operations,
manager,
retired
in
december.
D
There's
other
fees
that
I
was
able
to
find
through
our
budget
to
cut
such
as
I've
completely
cut
training
travel
office
supplies
are
very
minimal.
Well,
actually
we
don't
have
any
right
now,
but
I
did
set
aside
some
money
to
buy
new
supplies
and
when
we
move
into
the
new
building,
but
we
were
able
to
cut
five
thousand
from
our
advertising
budget,
ten
thousand
dollars
from
it
and
some
other
miscellaneous
funds
to
make
these.
These
cuts
that
we
needed
to
avoid
layoffs.
D
Next,
new
investments
next
slide.
D
So
three
one
one
in
order
to
make
the
addition
I'm
sorry,
this
is
an
enterprise
effort
that
was
made
by
council
member
fletcher
had
asked
that
311
take
the
theft
reports
from
mpd
to
help
with
some
relief
from
mpd,
so
that
people
aren't
having
to
call
mpd
to
make
these
reports.
They
can
make
them
through
3-1-1,
sorry,
so
most
of
the
mpd
theft
reports
will
be
moved
to
3-1-1.
Again.
This
is
an
enterprise-wide
effort
in
support
of
the
city's
goal
to
transform
and
improve
public
safety
for
all
residents.
D
D
In
addition
to
the
forty
six
hundred
that
we
take
already
each
year,
we'll
need
a
an
addition
of
three
ftes
and,
as
you're
aware,
madam
chair,
our
training
is
four
to
five
months,
and
so
we're
not
going
to
the
hiring
date
is
going
to
be
january.
4Th
we've
decided
to
wait
instead
of
just
because
of
how
long
the
process
is.
The
new
agents
that
are
hired
can
take
some
police
reports
within
four
weeks
of
hiring,
but
they
still
they're
not
on
the
floor.
B
You
just
waiting
a
moment
for
people
to
step
in
with
questions
we
or
comments
comment
from
council
member
fletcher.
E
Thank
you,
sir
palmisano,
and
thank
you
for
taking
on
the
theft
reporting.
I
think
this
is
a
really
important
way
that
we
can
shift
with
a
more
appropriate
response
for
this
kind
of
call,
and
so
I
I
think
this
is
really
a
positive
step.
E
One
question
that
people
have
had
and-
and
that
I
have
is,
can
you
just
remind
us
what
the
hours
of
operation
are
for
three
one
one,
and
I
know
that
we
made
some
changes
to
weekend
and
evening
availability
in
the
past
few
years,
and
I'd
be
interested
in
thinking
about
whether,
as
we
shift
more
responsibilities
to
311,
if
we
also
need
to
think
about
ours
and
if
you've
thought
about
what
the
cost
associated
would
be.
D
Sure
man
and
chair
councilmember
fletcher,
currently
our
hours
are
monday
through
friday,
seven
a.m.
To
seven
pm.
Last
year,
in
august,
we
cut
down
on
weekends
due
to
staffing
levels.
In
order
for
us
to
take
on
more
work,
I
mean
there
are
some
other
things
that
we
can
take
on
and
to
be
able
to
open
on
weekends
is
going
to
have
to
be
an
increase
in
our
staffing
levels
again,
because
we
have
to
be
able
to
staff
for
the
weekends
and
so
depending
on
the.
D
The
work
that
we
take
on
would
depend
on
how
many
more
staffing
that
we
need,
but
there
is
a
I
think,
in
order
for
us
to
open
up
on
weekends
again,
we
would
need
three
to
four
additional
staff
to
be
able
to
meet
those
hours
because
of
the
different
shifts
during
the
day.
I
can
get
back
to
you
on
the
exact
number
on
those.
I
don't
have
that
handy
right
now,.
B
Thank
you,
director,
glover.
I
know
there
are
a
number
of
considerations
that
we
weighed
the
pros
and
cons
when
removing
the
311
service
on
the
weekends,
and
one
of
them
was
really
about
staff
and
staffing
and
and
their
welfare,
and
being
able
to
continue
to
attract
and
retain
employees
whose
other
options
for
work
include
things
that
don't
require
weekend
working
weekends
regularly,
and
so
I'm
just
curious
if
two
higher
positions
to
work
on
the
weekends,
how
would
that
change
the
overall
work
schedule
of
the
environment
that
you're
in
with
that?
B
Would
that
make
big
changes
to
your
staffing
model?
Would
there
be?
Would
you
be
hiring
people
that
that
would
choose
to
or
want
or
wish
to
work
weekend
hours
versus
call
center
shifts
that
are
more
standard
monday
through
friday?
Can
you
just
help
us
understand
that
consideration,
because
it's
a
big
one.
D
Chair
promising
sure,
being
open
monday
through
friday
is
a
draw
for
sure,
and
it's
an
attraction
for
3-1-1
this
last
hiring
round
that
we're
in
right.
Now
we
had
over,
800
applicants
apply,
and
then
we,
you
know
whittled
it
down
to
after
testing
and
everything
to
about
120
that
I've
been
going
through
to
to
find
for
interviews
when
we
have
to
staff
on
weekends.
D
D
The
late
shifts
I've
found
in
my
almost
five
years
here
in
my
previous
call
center
experience
that
you
know
it
seniority
based
people
get
stuck
on
the
weekends
for
lack
of
a
better
word
and
they
for
a
very
long
time
so
until
unless
we're
continuously
hiring,
which
we
have
not
done
for
you
know
a
long
time,
our
attrition
rate's
pretty
low
right
now.
D
Those
people
that
are
our
last
to
be
hired
will
stay
on
the
weekend
shifts
in
the
later
hours
and
they
tend
to
get
burned
out
or
they
think
that
you
know
it's
just
going
to
be
for
a
temporary
time,
but
when
it
gets
to
be
a
couple
years
and
they
get
that
worn
out
working
those
shifts
and
not
spending
time
with
their
families.
And
so
it's
not
something.
We
do
have
shift
bids
twice
a
year.
And
so
then
you
can
bid
a
different
shift.
But
again
it
goes
on
seniority.
B
Thank
you,
and
I
just
wanted
to
appreciate
not
only
the
the
very
skilled
work
that
311
does
to
navigate
for
residents
of
the
city
for
any
question
they
might
have,
but
to
also
acknowledge
that
our
3-1-1
call
takers
are
often
on
the
very
front
lines
of
people
who
are
extremely
frustrated
and
they
receive
the
brunt
of
a
lot
of
really
difficult
calls
and
sometimes
they're
able
to
route
people
accordingly
to
our
council
offices,
where
maybe
we
can
be
of
some
level
of
assistance
differently
than
than
they
are.
B
But
but
I
just
wanted
to
say
for
you
and
your
staff
that
we
know,
and
we
we
greatly
appreciate
how
you
are
serving
the
city
and
the
the
friendly
face
that
you
provide
when
people
don't
know
much
about
how
to
start
navigating
or
to
send
their
frustration
somewhere,
but
they
they
know
that
they
could
call
3-1-1.
So
thank
you
for
that.
B
D
B
K
Good
morning,
yes
welcome
home
asano.
C
K
Bergstrom
here
welcome
go
ahead.
Thank
you
very
much,
chair,
paul
masano
council
members
appreciate
the
time
this
morning
to
present
our
2021
budget
recommendation.
My
name
is
greta
bergstrom,
I'm
the
director
of
the
city's
communications
department,
and
here
today
to
present
mayor
fry's
2021
budget
for
our
department.
You
can
move
to
the
next
slide.
The
summary
chart.
K
These
are
all
general
fund
dollars
and
our
budget
for
the
department
is
broken
into
two
program
areas:
the
first
and
biggest
portion
being
enterprise
communications
at
1.933
million
and
the
second
being
public
access
tv
which
are
pass-through
dollars
through
an
annual
contract
awarded
actually
this
year
to
be
fresh
productions
for
public
access,
tv
services
and
that's
in
the
amount
of
472
000,
and
you
can
move
two
slides
forward.
K
Thank
you.
Moving
into
the
recommended
base
cuts
that
mayor
fry
has
set
forward
the
first
on
personnel
impacts.
K
We
have
phased
out
our
media
monitoring
services,
the
contracts
for
melt
water
and
tbis
important
to
note
that
the
communications
specialist
who
managed
those
those
services,
those
contracts
through
our
enterprise
news
clips-
is
actually
the
staff
member
that's
retiring,
and
so
those
those
two
reductions
really
work
hand
in
hand
together
and
then,
of
course,
there's
a
six
percent
allocation
cut
which
is
being
implemented
like
other
departments
across
the
enterprise.
K
You
can
move
to
the
next
slide
public
access
tv
here
there
is
no
change.
The
funding
of
472
000
will
remain
level
as
it
was
this
year
and
again,
that's
ongoing
funding
for
b
fresh
productions
to
operate
our
public
access
tv
move
to
the
next
slide
on
new
investments
to
a
next
slide
over.
K
K
We
do
have
the
programs
on
spanish
language.
Radio
la
raza
is
every
other
week
on
hmong
radio
and
somali
american
radio.
It
is
one
program
per
month
and
then
we
do
have
two
programs
per
month
on
kmoj,
and
so
that's
what
that
funding
would
would
be
for,
and
I
would
just
like
to
say
that
we've
heard
a
lot
from
community,
especially
this
year,
in
particular,
saying
that
these
programs
are
really
their
trusted
sources
of
information,
specifically
in
language,
information,
culturally
relevant
programming
topics.
K
Obviously
it
goes
without
saying:
we've
had
a
challenging
year
as
a
city,
and
so
in
explaining
covid
information,
health
information
to
our
cultural
communities,
information
about
public
safety,
community
safety
in
the
wake
of
civil
unrest
and
then,
as
our
city
is
rebuilding
and
and
and
really
struggling
through
the
year.
K
K
The
second
change
item
is
again
moving
previous
one-time
funding
into
ongoing
funding
in
the
amount
of
thirty
thousand
dollars
to
support
our
video
production
and
government
broadcast.
So
this
is
monies
that
would
be
spent
on
equipment
and
service
maintenance
contracts
to
make
sure
that
broadcasts
like
these
now
in
a
virtual
environment
are
able
to
be
maintained
appropriately,
should
something
break
down
or
need
fixing.
K
I
do
want
to
say
also
that
we
have
had
just
an
amazing
team
working
together
this
year,
especially
ever
since
coved,
our
video
services
team
of
four
in
our
office
has
partnered
seamlessly
really
with
staff
in
the
city
clerk's
office
and
with
it
as
well
as
we've
brought
in
three
video
staffers
from
the
minneapolis
convention
center
to
augment
the
work
to
date.
K
This
year
the
team
has
broadcast
245
live
government
meetings
like
these,
and
181
of
these
were
actually
virtual
broadcasts,
which
was
no
small
feat
in
the
early
going
of
converting
from
live
in
chamber
meetings,
broadcasts
to
the
virtual
meetings
that
we
have,
so
I
just
would
get
like
to
give
a
shout
out
to
that
virtual
tech
team.
They
have
done
an
amazing
job,
they're
doing
the
work
right
now
and
we're
really
fortunate
to
have
these
staff
on
hand.
K
You
can
move
to
the
next
slide.
That
is
all
I
have
for
this
morning
and
would
be
happy
to
stand
for
any
questions.
Thank
you.
Thank.
B
L
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
appreciate
the
presentation
I
was
gonna
ask
for
just
a
quick
update
on
how
things
are
going
with
the
move
of
the
pio
roll
over
to
communications.
I
know
it's
pretty
fresh.
I
believe
that
happened
right
at
the
start
of
october,
but
certainly
there
were
some
external
concerns
about
that
move,
and
I
was
curious
if
you
had
an
update
just
on
how
things
are
going.
K
Sure
happy
to
provide
that
update
council
member
chair,
paul
masano
councilmember
johnson,
that
is
correct.
Two
positions:
two
fte
positions
from
the
minneapolis
police
department's
pio
department
were
moved
to
our
communications
department.
As
of
october
1st,
those
two
staff
did
move
over
have
been
now
embedded
in
our
department.
K
Virtually
one
staffer
is
a
communications
and
video
coordinator
position
and
so
is
working
under
our
video
services
team
spending,
the
majority
of
her
time
on
police
video
productions,
but
also
spending
time
on
enterprise
work
for
other
departments,
and
so
we've
been
able
to
blend
that
position
into
our
department
and
then,
of
course,
the
police
pio
position
also
moved
over.
K
Moved
it
basically
has
been
continuing
the
same
role
of
frontline
police,
pio
work,
working
and
reporting
to
me
directly,
but
working
very
closely,
as
I
do
also
with
chief
aerodondo,
and
so
I
believe
that
has
gone
well.
We
have
been
working
with
our
media
partners
in
making
sure
that
we
have
transparent
flow
of
information
and
that
we
are
covering
the
work.
It
is
a
daunting
amount
of
work.
K
B
B
Is
it
now
shared
by
every
member
of
your
team
or
help
me
understand
that
it
I
I'm
led
to
believe,
though
I
don't
know
if
this
is
the
case,
that
the
pio
position
has
needs
and
has
access
to
police
kinds
of
data
reports
and
such
that
maybe
isn't
given
to
every
communications
staff
on
your
team.
But
I
am
especially
concerned
by
the
overwork
the
24
7
schedule
of
a
pio
position,
so
I
thought
that
one
of
the
potential
benefits
of
putting
it
in
a
bigger
department
was
more
of
a
shared
workload.
K
There
has
been
some
shared
workload,
but
not
we're
not
staffed
to
cover
the
work.
The
overnight
work
and
the
weekend
work
with
the
existing
communication
staff,
who
have
quite
full
plates
as
it
is
so
what
we
have
been
doing,
and
there
have
of
course,
been
furloughs
and
vacation
days
with
the
police
pao
as
well,
and
so
on
those
we
have
been
covering
that
work
during
the
day
into
the
early
evenings
and
then
some
on-call
work
over
the
weekend.
K
K
I
will
say
that,
for
the
most
part,
the
police
pio
john
elder,
who
is
in
that
position,
has
been
covering
the
lion's
share
of
the
work,
and
so
he
is
really
he
is
stretched,
and
so
there
is,
there
is
just
a
heavy
workload
there
that
we
have
been
able
to
share
some
things,
of
course,
taking
work
during
the
day,
early
evenings
and
some
workload
and
requests
over
the
weekends.
But
then
he
is
really
covering
the
overnight
work.
B
G
Thank
you,
chair
palmisano
and
ms
bergstrom
for
this
report.
H
G
Should
be
contacting
or
have
we
been
able
to
just
communicate
what
those
processes
are
and
who
is
sort
of
you
know
filling
in
when
the
pio
is
not
available,
I
mean
I
know
that
that
communication
loop
needs
to
be
pretty
solid,
so
I'm
just
curious.
Are
things
how?
How
is
that
progressing?
At
this
point?.
K
Sure,
thank
you,
chair,
palmisano
and
council
vice
president
jenkins.
For
that
question
we
do
have
a
very
close
working
team,
and
so
our
media
relations
coordinators
in
our
department
work
very
closely
with
the
police
pio.
K
We
do
and
have
in
the
past,
work
with
police
beat
reporters,
of
course
on
on
various
issues,
so
they
are
all
familiar
with
our
communications
media
relations
staff
in
in
our
department
and
were
prior
to
this
move,
and
that
has
continued,
and
so
we
have
open
lines
of
communications
if
they're
not
able
to
reach
one,
they
will
try
to
reach
the
other
and,
I
think,
have
been
largely
successful
in
that
capacity.
G
Then
here,
if
I
me
so
you're,
just
you're
not
seeing
much
of
a
lag
in.
K
Yeah,
I'm
not
yet
it
has,
as
you
mentioned,
only
been
a
little
over
a
month,
but
we
we
have
been
able
to
manage
through
that.
So
far,
but
again
I
will
stress,
I
think
the
most
acute
challenges
come
in
the
late
night
overnight
and
or
to
some
degree
weekends,
but
again,
especially
late
night
and
overnight
situations
which
again
the
police
pio
is,
is
handling
the
vast
vast
majority
of
that
work
unless
on
furlough
or
vacation.
B
Thank
you,
I'm
not
seeing
other
questions
or
comments
at
this
time.
So
thank
you
director
for
your
time
and
for
your
presentation
today.
Thank
you
and
we
will.
We
will
continue
on
so
moving
over
to
the
office
of
emergency
management
overview
we'll
be
hearing
from
director
barrett
lane
director
lane
welcome.
A
B
A
Thank
you,
madam
chair
pleased,
to
have
the
opportunity
today
to
present
the
mayor's
2021
budget
to
the
committee.
We
have
just
a
couple
slides
that
will
go
through
here
very
quickly,
just
to
provide
some
background
grounding.
As
you
know,
the
office
of
emergency
management
is
in
the
resilience
business.
Our
vision
is
one
of
a
resilient
city
of
minneapolis
organization
enterprise.
A
If
you
will
serving
a
resilient
city
minneapolis
community,
and
we
do
that
by
building
out
standard
based
capabilities
in
four
main
mission
areas,
and
that
is,
prevention,
mitigation,
response,
preparedness
and
recovery,
and
obviously
we
spent
a
lot
of
time
this
year
in
the
response
and
recovery
modes,
and
we
really
just
as
I
have
your
some
time
with
you
to
say.
Thank
you
to
all
the
support
that
we've
received
from
the
mayor,
the
council
and
across
the
enterprises
we've
been
working
with
the
community
across
these
various
mission
areas.
A
So
with
that,
madam
chair,
if
I
could
have
the
slide
advanced,
you
can
see
that
we
are
only
partially
granted
or
general
funded.
We're
partially
grant
funded
about
44
grant
funded.
The
rest
is
general
fund
and
we
have
one
program
that
encompasses
those
five
main
missionaries
that
I
just
described.
If
you
can
advance
the
slide
two,
please.
A
For
next
year,
based
on
the
mayor's
recommendation
here,
we
will
be
enacting
a
cut
to
certain
cut
to
the
to
the
general
fund,
part
of
our
budget
here
we're
eliminating
one
position
and
we
are
eliminating
a
software
package
that
we
use
to
launch
the
continuity
of
operations
program.
But
at
this
point
in
time
we
figure
we
can
maintain
that
without
the
benefit
of
the
software
package.
A
So
in
order
to
meet
our
target,
cut
we're
going
to
be
making
those
two
changes
and
then
there's
also
some
additional
adjustments
that
finance
has
made
to
our
base
funding
model.
That's
represented
in
that
allocation
strategy
line.
That's
the
second
line
on
that
chart.
A
We
have
no
other
change
items
next
year
from
for
2021,
madam
chair,
and
with
that
I
will
return
it
to
you
and
stand
for
any
questions.
B
Thank
you,
director
for
being
the
briefest
of
all
of
the
departments.
B
I
I
I
know
you're,
I
know
well
how
efficient
you
can
efficiently
you
communicate
and
how
succinctly
it's
also
difficult,
given
this
budget
year
to
take
an
office
that
has
been
so
active
for
so
many
parts
of
our
summer
and
look
to
to
need
to
cut
positions
within
it.
Council.
Vice
president
jenkins,.
G
Thank
you,
madam
chair
and
mr
lane,
and
I
don't
know
the
mayor's
budget
report
was
pretty
brief
as
well,
but
there
were
some
follow-up
questions,
so
maybe
a
tie
for
the
briefest.
However,
my
my
question
and
and
comment
is:
maybe
can
you
give
us
a
little
bit
of
a
update
on?
G
G
And
again
I
I
absolutely
recognize
all
of
the
the
upheaval
and
talents
that
every
department
has,
but
maybe
none
more
so
than
the
office
of
emergency
management,
but
wanted
to
get
a
brief
update
if,
if
that
work
is
begun
or
where
it
is
in
the
process.
A
Manager,
council
vice
president
happy
to
provide
that
update
our
planning
section.
Chief
lori
burns
has
been
reaching
out
to
joy
marsh
in
her
opportunity
or
her
operations
within
race
and
equity,
to
make
those
connections
and
to
start
building
out
that
process
for
next
year.
So
our
plan
is
to
bring
that
process
forward
or
that
new
document
forward
for
council
approval
next
year,
and
I
believe
that
ms
burns
has
also
reached
out
to
your
office
and
to
you
to
talk
about
how
what
your
vision
would
be.
A
So
he
make
sure
that
we
can
incorporate
that
as
well.
So
I
would
say
that
we're
in
the
beginning
phases
of
that,
obviously
with
the
the
election
and
some
of
the
other
things
that
we're
closing
out
this
year,
the
planning
the
the
planned
writing
part
of
this
is
going
to
be
moved
into
next
year
by
and
large.
A
And
I
do
think
that
it's
an
important
thing
to
include
in
this
part
of
the
overall
planning
process,
even
from
a
fema
perspective,
and
I
shouldn't
say
even
from
a
female
perspective
but
from
a
national
perspective,
a
whole
community
approach
is
what's
needed
in
these
documents
and
I
don't
think
that
there's
a
more
important
part
of
that
whole
community
approach
than
that
race
equity
lens
that
we
want
to
bring
to
this
work.
A
G
No
thank
you
director
lane
that
really
does,
and
I'm
I'm
really
happy
to
hear
that
even
fema
is
you
know
supporting
this,
these
kinds
of
updates
and
inclusions
of
community
I
mean,
as
as
we
continue
to
move
forward.
You
know
I
I
think
well
yeah.
G
Some
of
our
challenges
will
be
from
a
from
a
race
based
perspective,
but
you
don't
think
just
thinking
about
the
the
corona
virus,
which
certainly
impacts
humanity
across
the
entire
globe,
but
we
understand
now
that
you
know
there
are
significant
additional
impacts
on
on
communities
of
color,
particularly
black
and
brown
folks,
so,
to
the
extent
that
we
can
be
prepared
in
our
responses
with
that
level
of
understanding
and
awareness,
I
think
it
will
help
us
to
be
more
responsive
to
our
broadest
level
of
community
moving
forward.
G
B
Much
thank
you,
I'm
not
seeing
other
questions
or
comments
from
my
colleagues
at
this
time.
So
thank
you,
director
lane,
for
your
time
today.
B
B
Colleagues
I'll
ask
if
our
city
attorney
mr
router
is
on
and
with
us
and
ready
to
present
good
morning
manager
good
morning.
Yes,
we
can
welcome
and.
M
Go
ahead,
yeah,
I'm
assuming
there
might
be
some
rookie
hazing
in
this,
and
that
this
is,
I
think,
10
weeks
on
the
job,
my
first
budget
presentation,
but
I'm
excited
to
to
have
this
opportunity.
I'm
certainly
excited
to
be
in
this
new
role.
M
As
you
all
know,
the
city
attorney's
office
is
divided
into
two
programs:
criminal
and
civil
divisions.
The
civil
division
is
as
you'll
see
from
the
slide
here.
If
you
could,
move
ahead
is
funded
out
of
the
self-insurance
fund,
which
I'll
explain
in
a
second
and
the
criminal
division
is
funded
out
of
the
general
fund.
With
a
few
small
grant
funded
portions,
the
civil
division
is
divided
into
two
types
of
services,
client
services
and
litigation.
M
There
are
basically
four
different
types
of
funds
for
our
department
on
the
civil
side,
talking
about
the
self-insurance
fund,
where
we
allocate
costs
to
other
departments
that
in
turn,
drive
our
costs
and
we
use
an
actuary
to
help
us
project
and
allocate
those
department
cost
drivers.
So
essentially
revenue
from
taxes
that
go
into
the
general
fund
and
eventually
the
general
fund
departments
are
charged
for
legal
services,
and
this,
in
turn,
creates
the
self-insurance
fund
for
the
civil
division
on
the
criminal
side.
M
Most
of
the
funding
is
is
through
the
general
fund,
which
is
directly
revenue
directly
from
the
taxpayers.
We
do
have
some
grants,
one
of
which
is
the
downtown
improvement
grant,
which
is
local.
We
also
have
three
different
federal
grants
in
different
areas,
such
as
funding
a
victim
witness
specialist,
it's
another
program
involved
with
violence
against
women,
and
we
also
have
a
justice
assistance
grant
which
funds
one
community
attorney
for
us
next
slide.
M
Please,
and
one
more
so
now
get
into
the
details
of
the
cuts
we
are
planning
for
the
next
budget
year.
On
the
criminal
side,
we
are
going
to
freeze
the
hiring
of
one
paralegal
position.
One
case
investigator,
one
legal
support,
specialist
and
one
assistant
attorney
one,
as
well
as
some
paid
law
clerks.
M
The
impact
I'd
like
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
of
those
cuts,
particularly
the
assistant
attorney
one.
We
average
about
15
000
cases
a
year
that
must
be
charged
and
prosecuted.
So
this
puts
a
larger
case
load
on
every
prosecutor
within
the
team
paid
law.
Court
law
clerks
provide
a
valuable
service
too
and
they're
able
to
assist
attorneys
in
the
courtroom
and
speed
large
court
calendars
up
for
all
involved,
and
this
again
will
just
increase
the
workload
on
the
attorneys
on
the
criminal
side.
M
One
of
the
things
that
we
are
implementing
in
order
to
help
with
the
impact
of
losing
this
attorney,
as
well
as
the
law
clerk
help
is
as
well
as
dealing
with
the
additional
potential
for
furlough
days
and
budgetary
constraints,
down
the
road,
we're
reorganizing,
the
criminal
division
attorneys
and
into
three
trial
teams.
M
M
This
is
not
uncommon.
By
the
way.
Many
of
the
local
government
prosecution
offices
do
not
separate
domestics
from
the
rest
of
the
types
of
cases,
and
I
think
this
will
make
our
criminal
side
with
regard
to
the
attorneys
more
versatile
across
the
board,
with
regard
to
being
able
to
handle
all
types
of
cases,
and
it
will
also
give
all
the
attorneys
better
expertise
in
the
important
area
of
domestic
assault
cases
with
regard
to
non-personnel
impacts.
M
Next
slide,
please,
now
to
our
base
cuts
for
the
civil
side,
we're
going
to
freeze
the
hiring
of
one
assistant
attorney
three,
as
well
as
one
legal
support,
specialist
and
again
paid
law
clerks.
M
As
you
all
know,
we
continue
to
receive
high
profile
cases
over
the
events
of
the
past
six
months
and
and
we're
being
asked
to
research,
research
and
analyze
even
a
a
lot
more
policies,
in
terms
of
giving
advice
to
policy
makers
not
being
able
to
hire
an
additional
attorney
assistant
attorney
here
on
the
civil
side
or
have
the
law
clerk
help
will
mean.
M
Lawyers
will
have
several
high
profile
cases
to
manage
at
once
and
will
have
to
do
more
of
the
legal
research
themselves
and
additionally,
without
the
support
of
the
legal
support,
specialist
position.
Paralegals
and
attorneys
will
be
taking
on
more
legal
administrative
work
as
they
work
on
many
high
profile
case
cases
and
policy
decisions.
M
We
don't
have
a
lot
in
our
budget
here
on
the
civil
side
beyond
personnel
costs,
but
there
are
a
few
listed
there,
where
we
will
have
a
an
unspent
balance
from
an
ongoing
contract
that
we
have
for
legal
research,
which
is
mostly
online,
some
administrative
costs
for
training
and
supplies.
M
We
do
have
one
ask
in
the
new
investment
and
it's
really
in
support
of
some
criminal
justice
reform
work
efforts
that
we're
very
excited
to
to
be
a
part
of.
M
The
city
attorney's
office
is
asking
for
this
money
so
that
we
may
offer
these
programs
free
to
the
individual.
So
it's
important
to
understand.
We
want
to
get
to
the
point
where
we
can
offer
these
programs
at
no
cost
to
the
participants
and
ideally
we'd
like
them
to
be
offered
free
to
all
qualified
individuals
and
at
a
minimum.
We
would
like
to
offer
them
free
to
anyone
who
qualifies
for
a
public
defender.
M
The
problem,
though,
with
limiting
payment
to
those
who
qualify
for
a
public
defender,
is
that
when
we
offer
diversion
pre-charge,
a
person
has
not
yet
been
screened
for
public
defender
eligibility
so
by
offering
diversion
pre-charge
and
free
we're,
keep
not
only
keeping
the
offense
off
the
person's
record,
but
we're
hoping
to
increase
the
the
accessibility
to
the
program
and
to
underscore
why
that's
so
important.
M
Some
data
for
context
in
2019
of
the
african-american
defendants
who
were
offered
diversion
29
accepted
while
50
percent
of
white
defendants,
who
were
offered
diversion
accepted
the
program,
and
it's
also
significantly
lower
for
native
americans,
who
only
accept
it
at
an
eight
percent
rate.
M
That
right
now
is
the
end
of
our
presentation
on
the
budget
for
2021
and
certainly
would
be
willing
to
stand
for
questions.
Thank
you.
B
I
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
just
wanted
to
express
my
gratitude
for
the
consistent
leadership
in
the
city
attorney's
office,
with
finding
where
there
are
disparities
and
addressing
that,
bringing
forward
innovative
approaches
and
and
thoughts
around
how
able
to
address
racial
disparities,
how
to
be
able
to
engage
in
early
interventions
in
very
effective
ways
very
forward
thinking,
and
so
I'm
very
grateful
to
see
the
the
budget
request
item
that
has
come
forward
when
I
saw
those
numbers.
I
I
was
very
surprised
to
see
that,
and
I
appreciate
deeply
so
the
transparency
around
you
know:
hey
we've
been
we
created
this
space
and
then
now
we
have
found
other
barriers,
and
these
are
the
disparate
outcomes
that
we're
getting.
But
we
have
a
solution
to
be
able
to
to
get
to
that,
and
so
I'm
just
very
appreciative
very
impressed
and
wanted
to
express
my
support
to
you
all
for
continuously
helping
us
think
through.
I
M
I
apologize,
I
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you
for
those
comments,
council,
member
cunningham,
and
I
wanted
to
note
that
I
certainly
share
those
values
and
those
and
and
focusing
on
this
issue,
these
types
of
issues
as
you've
probably
heard
before,
but
I
do
want
to
give
some
credit
to
deputy
city
attorney
mary
ellen
hang,
who
I
believe
is
on
the
line
with
us.
M
The
first
conversation
we
had
after
my
nomination
was
announced.
She
really
impressed
upon
me
that
she
and
her
team
had
a
keen
focus
on
this
and
some
other
areas
related
to
race
and
equity
disparities.
So
she
really
does
deserve
a
lot
of
credit.
I
I
I
just
am
excited
to
to
work
with
her
team
to
further
explore
how
we
can
build
upon
that.
So
thanks.
J
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
also
wanted
to
just
thank
you
for
bringing
forward
that
particular
recommendation
and
just
encourage,
I
think,
future
innovation
in
this
space.
J
The
problem
in
front
of
us-
and
I
think
part
of
the
challenge
is
that
our
budgets-
the
costs,
don't
fully
kind
of
line
up
right
so
that
we're
in
a
continuum
of
city
to
county,
in
terms
of
you
know
frontline
response
and
then
resources,
and
then
you
know
incarceration
or
the
sort
of
different
pathways
that
happen,
but
I
think
there
are
so
many
potential
cost
efficiencies
across
that
system.
J
I
think
there's
clearly
so
many
ways
that
we
can
work
better
with
the
county
to
you
know,
match
resources
to
people
who
are
in
need
of
them
as
we're
interacting
with
the
public
through
the
system.
So
I
think
you
know
the
example
of
the
dozen
or
so
young
people,
very,
very
young
people
who
are
participating
in
the
carjackings
over
and
over
and
over
again.
J
It
just
highlights
these
breaks
in
our
system,
where
we're
not
seeming
to
be
able
to
intervene
in
the
lives
of
these
children
and
families,
but
also
not
able
to
stop
the
harmful
behaviors
in
our
community,
and
I
think
this
piece
of
that
work
is
so
critical
and
I
think
again,
there's
more.
We
can
do
to
build
on
these
partnerships
that
we
have
to
match
the
resources
that
we're
creating
as
far
as
jobs,
creation
programs
or
housing
resources
to
really
match
those
to
the
folks
that
are
coming
through
our
system
in
this
way.
J
So,
anyway,
just
wanted
to
appreciate
the
work
and
just
comment
that
I
think
there
is
likely
much
more
to
do
in
the
future
and
appreciate
the
fresh
set
of
eyes
and
fresh
perspective
that
you
bring
to
this
work.
Mr
router
and
your
your
small
but
mighty
team
doing
this
work.
B
Thank
you,
I'm
not
seeing
any
other
questions
or
comments
in
the
queue
here.
So
mr
router
welcome
you've
been
here
only
a
very
brief
time
and
it
feels
like
you
have
a
grasp
on
on
where
this
department
is
headed
and
making
difficult
choices
in
it
and
and
working
to
innovate
it
as
well.
So
thank
you
for
all
of
this
effort.
B
Colleagues.
That
concludes
the
the
presentations
for
this
morning,
so
I
will
mention
that
we
will
receive
and
file
all
of
these
departmental
budget
presentations,
that
of
the
mayor's
office,
311
communications,
the
office
of
emergency
management
and
the
city
attorney's
office,
seeing
no
further
business
before
us
today.
