Thank

my

I'm,

the
Minneapolis
City

I'm,

I
You,
madam
president,
honored
to
be
with
with
you
all
for
yet
another
Friday.
We
have
been
operating
in
state
of
emergency
in
the
city
since
March
16th
and,
as
you
know,
on
Wednesday
evening,
the
governor
announced
that
he
will
let
the
stay
at
home
order
expire
on
Monday
May
18th.
So
this
coming
Monday
and
replacing
it
with
a
stay
safe
order.
A
continued
emphasis
on
staying
safe
at
home
and
practicing
safe
physical
distancing.
I
Additionally,
on
Monday
retail
businesses
can
reopen
at
50%
capacity
with
proper
guidelines
in
place
to
make
sure
that
they
are
accounting
for
Public
Health
people
can
gather
in
groups
of
10
outside
of
your
family,
with
the
encouragement
of
using
masks
and
being
outside
as
much
as
possible.
The
governor
also
set
the
stage
for
at
least
a
partial
June.
First
reopening
of
food
services,
including
bars
and
restaurants
among
other
industries.
I
So
it
is,
it's
not
lost
on
me
that
our
neighbors
of
color
have
been
hit
particularly
hard
by
this
pandemic
and
that
an
outsized
share
of
a
workers
affected
by
the
order
that
would
be
going
back
to
work
or
have
been
in
work
throughout
this
pandemic
are
low-income
and
people
of
color.
We
recognize
that
it
is
a
privilege
in
so
many
ways
to
be
able
to
work
from
home
and
that
reality
needs
to
be
recognized
as
well
as
we
move
forward.
I
So
at
the
city,
we're
presently
figuring
out
how
best
to
reopen
recognizing
the
governor's
order
and
the
unique
circumstances
that
we
presently
face
in
Minneapolis,
there
have
been
eleven
eleven
emergency
regulations
to
date.
I
won't
go
into
any
of
them,
but
I'm
certainly
happy
to
answer
answer
any
questions.
Now.
Moving
on
to
the
health
report
by
the
numbers,
that's
as
of
4:00
p.m.
on
May
14
2020,
the
total
approximate
number
of
completed
tests
stands
at
128
thousand
725,
that's
30,000
more
than
last
week,
as
we
know
this.
I
This
relationship
between
the
governor's
office,
the
Mayo
Clinic,
as
well
as
the
University
of
Minnesota,
has
a
plan
to
ramp
up
to
20,000
tests
per
day.
It's
my
understanding
that
we
just
recently
hit
our
highest
number
of
tests
ever
we
had
been
hovering
and
are
hovering
right
around
5,000
a
day,
but
those
numbers
continued
to
increase.
I
We
is
good
because
making
sure
that
we're
able
to
test
making
sure
that
we're
able
to
trace
and
then
making
sure
that
we're
able
to
quarantine
those
that
have
had
positive
tests
is
still
going
to
be
of
critical
importance,
especially
as
we
reopen
Minnesota
Cates
information.
Total
positives
are
thirteen
thousand
four
hundred
thirty
five,
which
is
up
four
thousand
from
last
week.
The
patients
who
no
longer
need
to
be
isolated
or
nine
thousand
one
hundred
thirty
six,
which
is
up
forty.
I
Two
hundred
from
last
week
there
have
been
six
hundred
sixty
three
deaths
up
150
from
last
week,
and
deaths
are
among
long-term
deaths
among
long-term
and
assisted
living.
Facilities
are
five
hundred
thirty
seven.
So
still
the
lion's
share
coming
from
both
our
vulnerable
populations,
as
well
as
our
seniors,
Hennepin
County
has
seen
four
thousand
three
hundred
thirty
one
cases
and
the
number
of
health
care
workers
that
have
presently
been
infected
in
some
former
1605.
I
As
far
as
hospitalization,
the
total
cases
requiring
hospitalization
is
1915
with
four
hundred
ninety
eight
hospitalized
as
of
today
and
a
two
hundred
three
that
are
presently
in
intensive
care
unit
and
as
we've
stated
previously,
you
know
these
intensive
care
units
are
going
to
be
of
critical
importance.
You
know
all
this
work
all
this
affirmative
work.
These
aggressive
measures
that
we've
taken
thus
far
won't
necessarily
reduce
the
total
number
of
people
that
do
in
fact
contract
kovat
nineteen,
but
it
will
help
reduce
the
total
number
of
people
that
contract
Kovan.
I
I
I
believe
I've
gone
over
the
Minneapolis
cases,
but
if
I
somehow
have
not
it's
total
total
case
numbers
or
1478
in
Minneapolis,
which
is
up
500
last
week,
326
have
been
hospitalized,
341
have
recovered
and
tragically
there
have
been
95
deceased
of
those
95.
We
know
that
around
80
to
85
percent
are
in
congregate,
care
of
care
facilities
and
senior
centers,
there's
a
graph
that
you
may
have
in
your
packet
that
relates
to
the
Minneapolis
demographic
information.
I
I
won't
go
through
it,
but
if
you
have
any
questions,
I'm,
certainly
happy
to
answer
for
health
department
contact
tracing
the
health
department
is
conducting
about
30
case
investigations
and
contact
follow-up
for
individuals
diagnosed
with
Cova
19
per
day.
That's
a
whole
lot
of
work
because
3ch
one
of
these
case
investigations.
They
then
need
to
determine
who
they've
come
into
contact
with
and
then
find
ways
to
prevent
the
spread
from
those
individuals.
I
Caseloads
may
increase,
as
14
staff
have
been
trained
than
another
apes
are
in
training.
Human
Resources
is
still
working
to
identify
staff
within
the
city
and
outside
of
the
health
department.
That
made
me
well-suited
for
this
work
cloth
masks.
Last
week,
3273
cloth
masks
from
the
governor's
drive
were
distributed
to
42
organizations
and
residents
across
our
city,
health
department
staff
are
responding
to
requests
of
22,000
662,
surgical,
masks
for
48
health
care
facilities,
including
long-term
care,
homeless,
shelters,
home
health
care
services,
as
well
as
community
clinics.
I
An
additional
25
groups
and
organizations
have
been
identified
to
receive
2409
cloth,
masks
and
I'll.
Note
that,
even
if
you
don't
receive
a
cloth
mask
from
this
drive,
these
cloth
masks
can
very
easily
be
made
at
home
and
I
know
that
there
are
both
YouTube
videos
that
are
available,
as
well
as
the
that
our
Health
Department
has
helped
facilitate
and
pushed
out
as
well,
showing
you
how
to
make
a
mask
how
to
get
that
set
up.
I
It's
it's,
it's
very
really
very
simple,
and
it's
going
to
become
increasingly
necessary
as
a
gradual
opening
takes
place,
and
indeed
we're
looking
into
the
city
as
to
how
we
can
help
facilitate
and
require
that
as
well
outreach
to
unsheltered.
There
are
200
individual
Sharp
containers
that
have
been
provided
as
part
of
the
outreach
to
unsheltered
persons.
I
B
Mayor
just
briefly,
there
I
just
wanted
to
underscore
a
couple
of
things
that
you
said
on
the
last
slide.
For
my
colleagues
in
particular
the
contact
tracing
work.
As
you
said,
this
is
very
time
intensive
and
very
staff.
Intensive
and
I
think
it's
one
of
the
areas
of
Kove
in
response,
where
we're
still
figuring
out
the
distribution
of
workload
among
the
different
levels
of
government,
and
so
if,
if
the
city
of
Minneapolis
were
to
try
to
assume
full
responsibility
for
contact
tracing,
that
would
be
an
enormous
cost
to
the
city.
B
So
I
just
want
to
highlight
that,
for
my
colleagues,
so
folks
know
that
those
conversations
are
happening
and
that
that
is,
we
don't
know
the
issues
around
budget
and
staff
time
on
the
horizon
and,
as
we've
talked
about
many
times,
the
response
to
folks
experiencing
a
bunch
of
shelter.
Homelessness
is
another
one
of
those
areas
where
we
have
really
strong
partnership
with
the
county
right
now,
really
I
think
unprecedented.
We've
been
building
that
relationship
in
that
partnership
for
many
years
and
I.
Think
even
more
now.
B
That
partnership
is
really
strong,
but
issues
around
who
is
testing
folks
experiencing
a
sheltered
homelessness
in
particular
and
in
other
vulnerable
populations
such
as
public
housing
or
you
know,
workplaces
or
you
know
larger
apartment
complexes
in
the
city,
those
those
are
still
those
questions
are
still
being
worked
out
and
I.
Think
for
us.
It's
again
this
question
of
the
push
and
pull
of
our
budget
related
to
how
much
money
we
do
or
do
not
receive
from
the
federal
government
or
other
sources
versus
our
own
budget.
I
I
I
Procurement
total
spend
as
of
May
13
2020,
and
this
is
in
terms
of
specific
contract,
was
four
million.
Seven
hundred
seventy
eight
thousand
nine
hundred
twenty
one,
the
total
increased
by
twelve
thousand.
Fifty
three
was
for
the
purchase
of
gift
cards
by
the
Health
Department
for
shared
powers.
Advisory
committee
members
I'll
note
that
this
number
is
very
small
in
comparison
with
our
total
spend
when
you
consider
all
of
the
work
that
we've
put
in
at
the
city,
the
contracts
that
we've
entered
the
procurement
that
has
occurred.
I
It's
an
initial
guide
for
us
to
think
about
how
we
safely
return
to
a
physical
workspace
as
appropriate
and
will
be
offering
additional
guidelines
as
we
move
forward
on
that
as
well.
A
budget
as
mentioned
last
week,
I
am
working
on
a
revised
2020
budget
on
June
12th
I
will
present
a
2020
amended
budget
to
Council,
and
the
goal
is
to
complete
this
process
by
June
26,
with
adoption
of
the
2020
amended
budget,
noting
that
every
day
that
passes
until
we
make
the
necessary
moves.
I
Will
result
in
much
higher
costs
down
the
road,
so
the
the
two
weeks
in
between
the
presentation
of
the
budget
and
then
the
final
adoption
will
have
hearings
will
have
budget
presentation
will
have
markup
and
but
I
want
to
make
clear.
This
revised
budget
will
be
focused
on
containing
and
eliminating
cost,
not
adding
to
the
budget,
and
so,
as
I
mentioned
with
every
day,
we
delay
finalizing
an
amended
budget.
B
B
So
that
would
need
to
be
adopted
by
an
update
of
the
resolution
that
established
the
council
structure,
which
we
just
did
not
too
long
ago,
to
shift
to
this
new
structure
that
were
in
now
as
a
result
of
the
extra
meetings
that
would
be
needed
to
process
the
budget.
I'm
recommending
that
we
shift
to
a
two-week
cycle
instead
of
a
one-week
cycle
with
Biz
and
our
Pogo
and
council
meetings
happening
in
a
two
week
time
frame
instead
of
every
week.
B
And
if
you
look
at
the
calendar
of
necessary
meetings,
it
becomes
pretty
clear
that
it
would
be
very,
very
difficult
for
our
clerks
and
communications
and
IT
staff
to
support
all
of
those
remote
meetings,
not
to
mention
the
time
on
all
of
our
calendars
as
well.
So
I
think
the
pace
of
work
has
is
such
that
we
can
handle
the
workload
and
in
a
two-week
cycle.
It
will
make
our
Pogo
meetings
a
bit
longer,
but
I
just
wanted
to
mention
that,
and
that
would
not
be
coming
for
a
vote
today.
B
But
I
wanted
to
mention
it
Kate.
Mr.
Karl
has
prepared
the
necessary
documents
for
us
to
consider
next
week
and
the
next
week
cycle
so
based
on
the
questions
and
conversations
that
happen.
We'll
get
that
draft
around
very
soon
and
I
see
that
there
are
a
number
of
questions
and
comments
from
Council
members,
so
councilmember
Fletcher.
G
Thank
You
council
president
and
Thank
You
mayor
I
I,
am
supportive
of
this
idea
of
doing
a
revised
budget.
I
really
think
that
it's
important
for
us
to
be
kind
of
taking
the
revenue
consequences
of
the
pandemic
head-on
and
really
thinking
about
how
we
can
manage
that
as
wisely
as
possible.
I
think
the
the
timeline
that
you've
proposed
mayor
I
think.
Well,
we
need
to
figure
out
a
way,
as
you
said,
to
do
this
quickly.
I
think,
there's
a
there's
a
cost
to
delay
and
I.
G
Think
that's
going
to
require
us
to
work
differently
than
we
have
in
the
past
and
I
just
want
to
sort
of
make
sure
that
we're
as
we
think
about
you,
know
how
we
move
forward.
I
think
it
would
be
very
difficult
for
the
public
to
process
and
respond
to
in
a
public
hearing
in
that
two
weeks,
if
the
first
information
that
they
get
is
on
June,
12th
and
so
I
think
it's
going
to
be
very
important
and
I
know.
G
You
know,
voice
of
that
and
voice
a
real
desire
in
my
budget
committee
role
and
just
in
my
role
in
the
council
to
really
help
communicate
out
what
kinds
of
decisions
are
under
consideration,
so
that
people
have
an
opportunity
to
think
them
through
and
be
able
to
meaningfully
participate
in
the
public
hearing
and
and
meaningfully
participate
in
the
process
of.
What's
going
to
be
a
very
important
set
of
decisions
and
a
very
difficult
set
of
decisions
that
we're
all
going
to
need
to
work
together
on.
B
It
sounds
like
it's
not
possible
for
a
proposed
budget
to
come
before
that
June
12th
date
and
then
the
week
after
the
26th
is
what's
marked
in
our
trishul
calendar.
As
a
word
work
week,
leading
up
into
the
July
4th
holiday,
so
July
3rd
is
a
designated
city
holiday
for
city
staff.
I
think
we
could
push
the
final
adoption
a
little
bit
into
that
week.
If
council
members
are
amenable
giving
just
a
few
more
days,
but
in
just
a
short
time
as
two
weeks,
those
couple
of
extra
days
may
be
meaningful.
B
D
Thank
You
benter
president
Thank
You
mayor
I,
think
that
this
is.
It
is
good
to
really
you
know,
face
this
head-on
and
really
deal
with
the
fiscal
reality
of
where
we
are
I
also
share
the
concern
that
two
weeks
is
not
going
to
be
enough.
Time
definitely
understand
the
stakes.
You
know
every
day
we
are
at
risk
of
spending
money
that
we
don't
have
and
we
need
to
face
that
reality
quickly.
We
need
to
do
that
compassionately
and
we
need
to
do
that
fairly
and
I.
Think
it'll
be
I.
D
Do
one
question
than
just
more
comments
just
first,
you
know
if
there's
some
way
to
get
some
of
this
information
before
the
12th.
That
would
be
extremely
helpful,
I
think.
What's
also
what
what
concerns
me
is
that
you
know
with
this
process
that
usually
takes
months,
we
we
have
a
lot
of
back-and-forth
a
lot
of
talks
with
department
heads
about
really
talking
about
the
priorities
of
the
city
and
I.
D
D
We're
going
to
have
to
do
in
your
budget
I
think
it
is
something
as
the
public
is
going
to
to
understand
what
is
happening,
they're
going
to
need
time
to
weigh
in
process
what's
going
on
and
also
to
understand
a
little
bit
more
about
how
the
city
works
like
it's,
something
that
we
already
are
very
efficient
with
their
tax
dollars.
I
think
I
mean
I.
Take
my
responsibility
as
a
steward
of
the
money
very
seriously,
but
I.
D
These
are
people
that
have
given
to
the
city
they've
been
out
there
on
the
hardest
days
of
the
year,
making
sure
the
city
still
works.
So
we
need
to
really
think
about
what
not
just
the
cost
savings
but
the
the
real
loss
that
that's
going
to
do
and
I'm
while
I
understand
the
urgency
and
I'll
do
my
part
to
make
sure
that
we
can
be
done
in
two
weeks.
I
want
to
just
raise
the
concern
that
it
might
be
longer
than
that.
I
I
Normally,
council
members
have
months
literally
months
to
review
a
budget.
They
can
ask
any
questions
to
our
office.
Our
office
can
then
respond
with
answers
that
whole
time
period
is
now
dramatically
shortened.
It's
not
shortened
because
we
wanted
it
that
way,
it's
shortened,
because
that
is
what
the
times
calls
for
right
now
and
when
I
gave
direction
as
to
how
we
wanted
to
handle
some
of
the
monetary
issues
were
experiencing,
there's
a
few
things
that
we
were
considering.
I
If
there
is
a
way
of
doing
it
before
then
absolutely
I
would
love
to
do
that,
and
I
fully
understand
that
there
are
occasionally
reasons
why
we
might
have
to
delay.
I
fully
understand
it.
We
want
to
be
able
to
engage
the
public.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
everybody
has
all
complete
information,
but
we
also
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
saving
as
much
money
as
possible,
especially
in
times
when
money
is
so
short,
we
are
experiencing
up
to
a
200
million
dollar
revenue
shortfall
right
now
the
number
has
been
going
up
almost
daily.
I
It
was
a
hundred
million
that
it
was
a
hundred
thirty.
Now
it's
165
million
and
I
would
not
be
surprised
within
the
next
couple
of
months
if
it's
gone
up
further,
so
I
understand
that
there
are
constraints,
I
fully
understand
how
that
might
be
frustrating,
but
in
the
interest
of
our
city
staff,
who
are
wonderful
in
the
interest
of
making
sure
that
we
can
continue
to
deliver
courseid
services
for
all
of
our
residents
and
in
the
interest
of
making
sure
that
we're
protecting
those
who
are
struggling
most
first.
I
This
is
an
action
that
we
have
to
take
and
so
I
very
much
look
forward
to
working
with
all
of
you.
You
know:
we've
been
I've,
been
in
constant
conversations
with
with
council
president
with
councilmember
Palmisano
with
council
vice-president
about
how
we
would
sort
of
carry
out
this
budget
over
the
coming
weeks
and
and
I'm
sure
that
I'll
have
conversations
with
each
and
every
one
of
you
to
make
sure
that
you
are
informed
as
possible
and
I
know
that
Heidi
for
my
staff
will
as
well.
Oh.
J
J
C
E
J
Sure
I
just
have
a
more
of
a
logistical
question:
I'm
sensitive
to
all
of
the
the
timing,
issues
and
pressures
and
sort
of
the
the
coming
and
going
updates
curious,
either
advice
from
the
council
president
or
the
mayor,
or
perhaps
the
budget
chair.
What
is
the
best
way
for
our
staff,
our
aides,
to
be
able
to
capture
all
of
these
baits
and
make
sure
that
they,
you.
B
Thanks
comes
over,
I
can
start
them
and
maybe
turn
it
over
to
the
mayor
and
Finance.
So
the
information
about
the
official
adoption
calendar
would
come
from
either
myself
or
mr.
Karle
in
the
clerk's
office,
and
that
would
be
adopted
by
the
council
in
a
resolution.
If
we
can
get
to
that
point
by
next
week.
That
would
be
the
ideal
intention
so
that
we
could
publish
that
to
the
public
any
calendars
related
to
budget
preparation
or
coordination
with
council
members
or
their
offices.
Those
communications
would
come
from
the
mayor's
office
or
from
Finance
and
I.
B
You
know,
I
think
I
want
to
underscore
a
little
bit
a
couple
of
points
that
we
made
by
colleagues
and
that
in
the
typical
budget
process,
which
takes
many
months,
finance
staff
and
department
heads
tell
council
members
that
we
can't
know
anything
about
the
proposed
budget
until
it's
like
proposed
publicly
on
the
diets.
While
we're
sitting
out
there
hearing
the
budget
speech
and
then
then
we
get
a
copy
of
the
full
budget
and
so
I
think
what
I'm
hearing
from
council
member
just
to
underscore.
H
You
know
I,
along
with
my
colleagues
I.
You
know,
I
would
like
to
echo
the
concerns
that
were
spoken
of
by
my
colleagues
as
well
as
council
president
bender
around
the
truncated
timeline
for
the
budget,
while
also
obviously
understanding
the
urgency
of
needing
to
be
able
to
address
the
needs
of
the
the
decreased
revenue.
H
One
of
the
issues
that
we
see,
however,
is
that
when
we
rush,
when
things
happen
quickly,
there
are
often
parts
of
the
process
that
gets
thrown
out
and
one
of
the
critical
components
that
I
have
concerns
about
is
how
our
values,
as
a
city,
as
well
as
particularly
a
racial
equity
analysis,
will
be
applied
in
such
a
short
period
of
time.
So
thinking
about
how
does
the
money
that
will
be
cut?
How
will
that
impact
investments
in
areas
of
concentrated
poverty
that
have
a
greater
majority
people
of
color
living
in
the
area?
H
Those
are
the
kind
of
concerns
that
I
have,
because
when
you
when,
when
we
look
at
dollars
and
cents,
it
can
become
very
numerical
and
abstract
in
the
human
sense
and
that
level
of
intentionality
around
racial
equity.
It
takes
time
and
it
takes
expertise
and
so
and
I
have
tremendous
respect
for
our
Budget
and
Finance
staff.
H
So
I
do
have
a
question
that
I'll
come
back
to,
but
I
also
just
want
to
voice
concern
around
the
lack
of
North
Side
voice
at
the
table.
Neither
council,
members
from
the
north
side
are
in
counselor.
Leadership
are
not
budget
chair
or
vice
chair,
and
so
the
as
these
conversations
have
been
happening.
I
Council
president
council
member
cunningham,
thank
you
for
the
question.
First
off
I,
don't
think
that
I
should
be
the
one
to
determine
exactly
what
a
racial
equity
analysis
looks
like
in
terms
for
cuts
in
the
budget.
I
rely
on
people
with
lived
experience
with
communities
of
color
in
determining
how
best
to
proceed,
and
it's
good
that
we
have
already
adopted,
adopted
a
strategic
racial
equity
action
plan
as
guidance,
and
certainly
that
guidance
will
have
some
application
during
times
of
pandemic.
But,
additionally,
a
council
member
I.
I
Very
much
would
welcome
input
from
you
as
a
North
Sider,
as
a
person
of
color
I'm.
Sure
that
the
input
that
you
would
be
able
to
offer
would
be
would
be
helpful,
and
so
we
will
make
sure
to
relay
absolutely
as
much
information
as
we
possibly
can
so
that
we
can
then
take
those
inputs
and
coorporate
them
into
a
proposed
budget.
And
then
there
is
time
also
for
markup.
So
I
don't
pretend
to
have
all
the
answers
here.
I,
certainly
don't,
but
in
this
truncated
schedule
we
will
do
everything
possible.
E
Thank
you
very
much
and
I
appreciate
the
conversation
and
share
many
of
the
concerns
raised
by
my
colleagues.
One
question
I
have
is
that
are
the
department
head
submitting
amendments
then
to
the
mayor's
office
that
will
be
looked
at
and,
if
so,
when,
and
how
can
we
make
sure
that
the
councilmembers
also
see
the
recommendations
that
are
coming
forward
from
the
department's.
I
I
The
the
pieces
that
we're
looking
at
are
simply
how
to
improve
efficiencies
and
then
how
to
contain
costs
as
much
as
possible,
and
so
we're
still
working
out
the
exact
proposal,
but,
like
I
said,
we
will
engage
as
much
as
possible
this.
This
still
is.
This
still
makes
sense
to
have
a
budget
that
I
am
able
to
present
yes
with
input
from
councilmembers,
and
then
you
are
able
to
markup,
but
as
we
can
relay
information,
we
certainly
will.
E
We
can
go
back
and
get
the
input
from
the
department
heads
if
they're
not
initiating
and
recommending
anything,
but
I
would
really
strongly
encourage
finance
in
the
mayor's
office,
assuming
that
might
be
who's
leading
on
this
to
include
and
reach
out
to
the
departments.
So
they
can
give
you
some
information
about
where
they
think
there
are
savings
where
cuts
makes.
E
I
I,
don't
think
that
makes
a
lot
of
sense
right
now,
especially
because
we're
on
such
a
short
timeframe
and
asking
them
to
come
back
with
as
much
information
as
possible.
We've
included
several
council
members
in
these
meetings
and
that
we
can
make
sure
to
relay
as
much
information
as
we
possibly
can
to
you.
I
want
to
be
clear.
There's
no
hiding
the
ball
on
this.
There's
no
incentive
to
hide
the
ball.
J
Okay,
thank
you,
madam
president.
I
just
wanted
to
add
to
this
topic
of
racial
equity.
I
wanted
a
flag
for
policy
makers
and
other
elected
officials
who
might
be
interested
that
this
Sunday
there
is
a
local
progress,
call
scheduled
I
believe
in
Minnesota
time
and
I
believe
it
starts
at
6
p.m.
and
previously
I'm
looking
for
the
email
now
so
I
can
forward
it
to
y'all.
J
But
previously,
when
I
had
been
in
conversations
with
one
of
the
staff
members
there
at
local
progress,
I
believe
they
said
that
this
Sunday's
call
the
topic
would
be
around
our
racial
equity
issues,
impacting
the
african-american
community.
I
know
that
in
the
past
we
already
had
one
that
focused
a
lot
on
undocumented
families,
and
so
I
would
just
encourage
folks
who
are
interested
in
either
learning
more
about
that
topic
or
operationalizing,
actually
lifting
up
some
strategies
and
then
operationalizing
them
into
our
city.
J
Work
both
from
the
mayor's
office
and
from
the
city
council
side
to
join
that
call.
This
Sunday,
May,
17th
I,
believe
it
starts
at
6:00.
I'll
afford
you
all
the
details
once
I
have
them.
Perhaps
the
council
president
or
council
member
coming
ham
might
already
have
some
of
those
details
and
can
share
them
too,
just
so
that
we
can
continue
to
support
one
another
to
make
this
racial
equity
conversation
continue
to
live
within
the
city
and
and
be
responsive
to
our
new
context
and
I
know
that
racial
equity
is
not
a
new
thing
for
us.
J
D
You,
madam
president,
I
just
want
to
get
a
second
councilmember
Gordon's
can
request
for
information
from
the
department.
So
two
years
ago
we
were
able
to
get
the
Department
proposals
before
the
budget
kind
of
came
out,
and
that
was
extremely
helpful,
so
just
being
able
to
get
all
that
information
as
soon
as
possible
is
great
and
I
really
appreciate
your
willingness
to
sure
that
mr.
mayor.
B
B
In
the
evening
time,
the
remote,
the
remote
meetings
have
been
getting
great
participation,
most
of
them
I
think
have
been
done
by
public
works,
but
there
have
also
been
targeted
calls
with
community
groups
and
I
know
that
many
of
you
been
a
part
of
those,
so
I
think
to
me
once
we
make
a
decision
next
week
on
the
calendar.
I
really
encourage
us
all
to
feel
comfortable
that
we
can
really
stick
to
that
unless
there
are
extraordinary
extenuating
circumstances,
just
as
we
normally
do
through
our
budget
process.
B
So
if
folks
feel
that
that
June
26
date
is
is
not
possible
and
we
want
to
consider
something
that
might
end
July
2nd
or
something
like
that.
Even
though
I
know,
that's
not
a
huge
amount
of
extra
time,
I
think.
Maybe
what
we'll
do
is
kind
of
circulate
those
two
different
scenarios
and
see
what
the
council
thinks
about
a
couple
of
different
options:
well
pause
there
and
see.
If
anyone
has
any
questions
or
comments
on
this
before
the
mayor,
moves
on
to
the
next
topic.
E
B
All
right,
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
I,
think
we
are
all
set
to
move
on
and
I
know.
There'll,
be
lots
of
follow-up
conversations
about
this
as
well.
Thanks
for
everyone
for
digging
in
and
I
know
that
the
mayor
said
we're
in
really
difficult
financial
situation,
so
I
know
we
will
all
work
together
to
do
our
best
to
hold
those
values
very
strongly
at
the
center
of
this
work,
as
we
make
those
cuts
that
are
becoming
necessary.
Thank
you.
Well,.
I
And
thank
you
council
president
for
your
partnership
throughout
this.
None
of
this
is
easy,
and
thank
you
also
for
both
disseminating
information.
That
I
believe
you
and
Heidi
also
have
scheduled
several
meetings
already
with
with
several
different
council
members.
I
think
councilmember
Gorton
has
a
meeting
I
believe
Wednesday
of
next
week,
where
we
can
start
to
disseminate
as
much
information
as
possible
and
I
fully
understand
the
need
to
get
information,
and
it's
it's
a
truncated
schedule,
but
we'll
do
everything
we
can.
A
public
safety.
I

Sparse
enforcement
of
the
governor's
stay
at
home
order
goes
to
date.
There
remains
no
citations
by
MPD.
Traffic
control
continues
to
provide
an
active
in
promoting
physical,
distancing,
around
small
parks
and
school
playgrounds
and
from
May
3rd
to
May
11th.
There
were
24
complaints
at
14
locations
for
lack
of
physical
distancing,
Matthews
park
and
Bryan
Square
Park
had
multiple
complaints
during
the
last
7
days
and
you'll
recall
that
Matthews
park
was
a
hot
location
last
week
as
well.
The
city
continues
to
share
information
with
the
Minneapolis
Park.
I
Board
I
also
want
to
share
a
correction
from
last
week
which
I
had
messed
up.
So
is
regulatory
services
that
created
the
dashboards
with
the
up-to-date
information
on
hot
spots,
where
people
are
gathering
not
IT,
as
was
previously
reported
so
big.
Thank
you
to
rec
services.
Obviously,
IT
is
doing
some
extraordinary
work
in
all
facets
of
government
right
now,
as
well
and
I'm
sure
you've
had
more
than
a
couple
interactions
with
them.
I
Over
the
last
weeks
on
fire,
there
was
a
fire
in
the
early
morning
on
Monday
May
11th
at
the
tafiq
Islamic
Center,
which
is
located
at
2900
Lyndale
Avenue
North.
The
fire
was
located
in
the
entryway
and
crews
brought
it
under
control
in
about
10
minutes.
Fortunately,
the
mosque
was
unoccupied
at
the
time
and
the
fire
was
ruled
as
accidental
to
an
electrical
issue.
As
far
as
outreach
engagement,
a
Minneapolis
Fire
Department
is
coordinating
with
MPs
storytime
with
a
firefighter.
I
I
Public
Works
will
not
be
moving
ahead
with
the
Parker
program
this
year,
since
it
is
designed
to
bring
people
together
in
closer
spaces.
Public
Works
will
ever
continue
to
support
using
Street,
spaced
or
health
recreation
and
to
support
businesses
and
are
working
closely
with
c-pen
on
opportunities
for
outdoor
dining
space.
I
I
Thank
you,
madam
president,
council.
Vice
president
to
answer
your
question,
or
your
comment:
I
believe
it
was
about.
You
know
we
need
to
make
sure
we
have
a
hotline
to
make
sure
that
people
can
report
both
hate
crimes
as
well
as
discriminatory
activity
and
presently
I
believe
those
are
in
fact
going
through
3-1-1
I,
don't
know.
If
there's
someone
online
who
can
comment
to
that
extent,
I
did
make
a
video
about
it
earlier
and
I'm,
just
failing
to
recall
the
exact
number
I
did
for
crimes,
obviously
to
call
911
for
other
activities.
F
So
you're,
absolutely
right.
3
1
1
has
been
been
taking
some
of
those
calls,
but
to
complement
president
your
point
early
on
in
the
pandemic,
when
there
was
reports
of
some
of
our
community
members,
particularly
in
the
Southeast
Asian
community,
who
had
been
targeted,
the
Department
of
Public
Safety
had
also
set
up
a
I
believe
a
telephone
number
and
also
a
website
for
community
members
who
either
had
experienced
some
sort
of
targeting
attacks
because
of
their
nationality
or
race.
F
F
Director
david
rupa
doris
team
as
well,
and
had
been
on
some
of
the
hmong
radio
programs
as
well,
and
some
all
of
our
stations
just
to
make
sure
local
stations
just
to
make
sure
that
folks
are
being
kind
and
being
considerate
with
our
other
community
members
and
making
sure
that
we're
reporting
any
incidents
of
hate
or
bias.
And
so
we
continue
to
make
sure
we're
monitoring
that
any
calls.
We
did
have
a
couple
of
calls.
Early
on
in
North
Minneapolis
that
monk
community
members
were
had
been
targeted.
We
certainly
went
out.
F
There
responded,
made
reports
and
then,
of
course
made
sure
that
the
folks
who
investigate
the
hate
crimes
from
the
federal
department
had
those
reports
as
well.
So
we
will
continue
to
reach
out
be
in
spaces
to
make
sure
that
we're
protecting
all
of
our
community
members
during
this
time
and
every
day.
I
Thank
you,
chief
I,
don't
know
if
director
Korbel
is
on
the
line
as
well,
but
there's
also
a
work
group.
That's
been
formed
on
this
particular
area,
including
civil
rights
and
NCR
City,
Attorney's
office
communications,
health,
there's
a
several
different
people
who
are
working
on
it.
Director,
I,
don't
know
if
you're
on.
If
you
want
to
further
comment.
C
While
director
corporal
is,
is
hopefully
getting
on
the
line
and
yeah
my
my
rationale
for
bringing
us
up,
it
is
simply
that,
can
we
get
more
communication,
more
information
out
to
our
residents
and
expressing
this
concern
and
providing
information
for
people
to
to
report
these
incidents
I
see.
Ok,
mr.
Carl
has
included
Minnesota
state
human
rights,
Department
discrimination
hotline,
and
so
just
wanting
us
to
really
be
cognizant
and
aware
and
communicative
with
our
Asian
community
members
around
this
issue.
Thank
you.
B
Mr.
mayor
director,
Korbel
is
not
on
the
call,
but
I
know
that
there
have
been
communications
about
this
shared
in
the
past
and
I
think
we
will
follow
up
and
make
sure
that
all
consulate
offices
have
that
hotline
number
that
mr.
Karle
has
shared
as
well
as
any
other
information
that
they
can
include
in
their
newsletters
and
other
communications.
I
I
I
know
that
many
of
you,
including
council
president,
probably
every
single
council
member,
have
been
in
contact
with
our
Minneapolis
delegation
and
I.
Just
spoke
with
representative
Gomez
this
morning,
and
you
know
it
sounds
like
we
are
very
much
on
the
same
page
in
in
pushing
for
these
essential
funds.
I
We
participated
in
a
call
with
members
of
that
delegation
by
the
way
earlier
this
week
to
stress
the
importance
and,
in
addition,
I
spoke
with
the
Commissioner
of
Revenue
Commissioner
Bauer
Lee,
who
is
the
governor's
point
person
on
the
fund
distribution
as
well
as
speaker,
Hortman,
just
yesterday,
to
share
the
same
message
so
rest
assured,
our
message
is
getting
out
there.
These
stuns
are
going
to
be
so
important.
Like
I
said
you
know,
we've
we've
already
have
spent
somewhere
in
the
range
of
65
million
dollars.
I
Obviously
that
doesn't
include
the
up
to
200
million
dollars
in
revenue
shortfalls
that
we're
seeing
as
cities
and
counties
are
are
tasked
with
implementing.
So
much
of
this
relief
I
think
it
makes
sense
that
we
do
in
fact
get
our
fair
share
to
enable
us
to
do
this
very
critical
and
important
work,
and
we
very
much
appreciate
you
know:
council
members,
council
leadership
and
our
minneapolis
delegation
for
for
advocating
to
that
end
and
appreciate
the
governor's
office.
As
well,.
B
I
C
I
The
bonding
bill,
unlike
any
other
bill,
must
originate
out
of
the
house,
and
this
past
Monday,
the
house
bonding
committee
chair
representative
Murphy,
released
the
House
version
of
the
bill.
The
2.5
billion
dollar
proposal
includes
critical
projects
across
the
state,
including
funding
for
in
some
form
for
all
3c
project
priorities,
including
20
million
for
upper
harbor
terminal.
I
Thank
you
by
the
way
for
all
the
work
you
know,
councilmember
Cunningham
has,
and
many
of
us
have
put
into
that
11
million
for
the
Central
City
storm
tunnel
I
know
councilmember
Wright
has
been
heavily
involved
in
that
1
million
for
the
Emergency
Operations
training
facility.
While
this
is
not
complete
funding
for
all
projects,
obviously
the
storm
tunnel
in
some
form
fell
short
I
believe
that
the
figure
being
requested
was
in
the
range
of
19
million.
We're
pleased
with
this
as
a
starting
place,
and
obviously
we
can
continue
to
advocate.
I
The
bonding
bill
also
includes
a
number
of
other
city
priorities,
including
14
million
for
capital
funding
for
homeless
shelters.
Again,
we
need
more
there,
but,
but
this
is
a
this
is
a
good
start.
I
know,
council
president
has
been
advocating
for
that.
155
million
for
the
completion
of
the
B
and
D
transit
lines,
which
is
an
essential
addition
to
our
transit
network.
I
The
Senate
has
yet
to
release
their
bill
and
IG.
Our
staff
are
working
with
our
delegation.
Members
on
both
contact
tracing
Monday
legislation
was
approved,
appropriating
300
million
to
establish
a
contact,
tracing
case
investigation
and
follow
a
program
for
Kovan
19
cases.
The
program
purpose
is
to
identify
individuals
who
may
have
contracted
Kovan
19
and
have
them
isolate
until
the
contagion
has
been
as
passed.
I
I
Allows
funding
to
be
used
for
additional
IT
services,
interpret
interpreter
services,
community
outreach
and
personal
protective
equipment
for
staff
and
for
volunteers
as
well
phase
four
of
federal
funding
on
on
Wednesday
speaker,
Pelosi
rolled
out
the
heroes
Act,
which
is
a
three
trillion
dollar
coronavirus
relief
package.
We're
very
excited
to
see
because
potential
funding
for
cities
included
in
the
bill
and
in
its
Anacin
a
significant
enough
amount
to
offset
some
of
her
budget
shortfalls.
I
I
On
Tuesday,
the
Hennepin
County
Board
weighed
the
option
of
purchasing
a
hotel
to
continue
housing
residents
experiencing
homelessness,
who
are
most
at
risk
of
contracting
kovat,
19
I
know
the
council
member
Fletcher
was
with
has
been
looking
into
this
issue
as
well,
and
the
county
is
currently
housing,
750
individuals
at
five
hotels
throughout
the
county.
The
vote
on
this
purchase
was
delayed
to
May
19th
I'm,
not
going
to
get
too
much
into
the
gap
funding,
but
I
can
tell
you
that
the
distribution
is
is
going
smoothly.
I
The
first
1500
applicants
will
be
referred
to
either
mPHA
or
the
community
prevention
partners
on
a
rolling
basis.
Perhaps
most
exciting
is
that
the
very
first
checks
are
expected
to
be
mailed
during
the
week
of
May
18th
and
then
on
a
weekly
basis,
as
applicants
are
approved
until
all
of
the
funds
are
expended
on
a
forgivable
loan
program.
To
date,
a
total
of
117
total
businesses
have
been
notified
of
loan
approval.
This
includes
63
businesses
that
were
notified
this
week.
I
I
Food
based
businesses,
producers,
manufacturers
in
an
office
downtown
and,
as
you
can
imagine,
those
are
kind
of
the
four
criteria
that
comprise
most
all
and
we're
gonna
make
sure
that
as
recovery
and
reopening
takes
place,
we're
doing
so
with
a
lens
for
both
race
equity,
as
well
as
public
health,
two
very
critical
items
in
making
these
decisions,
so
I'm
gonna
stop
there.
Thank
you
all
for
your
partnership.
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
might
have.
B
Thanks
mayor
I
see
one
question:
I
did
also
just
want
to
mention
briefly
on
the
gap
funding
piece
that
Hennepin
County
has
also
now
approved
both
rental
assistance
and
business
support.
I
think
an
initial
amount
of
funds
were
made
available
only
to
suburban
chimneys
in
Hennepin
County,
but
later
this
month
a
new
round
of
funding
should
be
available
to
support
folks
in
Minneapolis,
both
through
rental
assistance,
as
well
as
small
business
support
with
those
funds
that
the
county
has
mean
available.
Councilmember
Fletcher.
G
You
know,
I
think
make
sure
that
between
us
and
the
state
that
there's
adequate
guidance
to
employers
about
how
to
open
their
workplaces
safe
safely
and
I
think,
maybe
even
more
importantly,
about
how
to
empower
workers
to
assess
whether
it's
safe
for
them
to
come
back
to
work,
to
sort
of
communicate
out
the
tools.
You
know,
because
I
think
people
are
starting
to
ask
questions
about
like
well.
G
How
do
I
know
if
I'm
breathing
recirculated
air
or
not,
how
do
I
know
you
know
if,
if
the
right
safety
precautions
are
being
taken,
and
so
I'm
just
wondering
what
you
know,
if
you
can
speak
a
little
and
I
know
that
Public
Health
is
working
on
this
and
so
I,
just
whatever
you
can
share
about
what
we're
doing
to
to
try
to
empower
employers
to
protect
their
employees
and
empower
workers
to
advocate
for
themselves.
I
think
that's
a
critically
important
issue
for
us,
as,
as
we
start
to
shift
to
a
new
set
of
rules.
I
Councilmember
flicker
I
couldn't
agree
more
as
some
form
of
gradual
reopening
takes
place.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
both
our
workers
and
our
employers
for
that
matter
and
those
that
are
visiting
businesses
are
protected
to
the
utmost,
and
so
we
presently
are
doing
quite
a
bit
of
research
to
determine
how
best
to
both
offer
guidelines
in
terms
of
how
businesses
can
and
should
function,
but
also
regulate,
and
you
know
there
are.
I
If
we
want
to
protect
both
workers
as
well
as
business
visitors,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
there
is
some
form
of
criteria
that
people
can
expect
that
that
people
have
a
semblance
of
an
understanding
of
what
they
can
expect
when
they
go
into
a
business,
be
it
retail
or
or
office,
restaurant
or
bar
you
name
it.
We
want
people
to
both
be
safe
and
feel
safe,
and
so
there
there
are
several
pieces
that
are
being
actively
explored
right
now.
I
I,
don't
want
to
prematurely
make
an
announcement
because
we're
still
doing
a
bit
of
research
on
these
topics
and,
like
I,
said
I'm,
not
an
epidemiologist
I'm.
Certainly
not
a
public
health
expert,
but
I
do
listen
to
people
that
are
and
we're
gonna
we're
going
to
be
compiling
some
data
in
the
coming
days
and
weeks
to
offer
both
guideline
as
well
as
potentially
regulation.
I
B
Thank
You
mayor
and
thanks
for
everyone
who
contributed
to
the
summary
of
work
we've
heard
today.
If
there
are
no
objections,
I'll
ask
the
clerk
to
file
the
mayor's
report
and
that
will
bring
us
to
the
reports.
Former
standing
committees,
the
business
inspections
and
zoning
committee
didn't
meet
this
week.
So
that
leaves
only

Thank.
B

Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
at
the
Pogo
meeting
we
had
the
presentation
from
the
health
department
around
the
grants
being
allocated.
There
was
a
$100,000
pool
of
money
that
was
allocated
to
organizations
that
were
in
addressing
that
were
responding.
Excuse
me
to
Coba
19
needs
across
the
city,
and
a
few
council
members
expressed
concerns
around
the
what
what
felts,
what
seems
as
though
a
lack
of
a
racial
equity
analysis,
particularly
given,
as
we
saw
with
the
numbers
of
demographics,
that
the
that
black
folks
are
being
disproportionately
impacted.
H
We
did
not
have
any
black
led
blacks
serving
organizations
nor
Northside,
specific
organizations
and
and
overall
they
were
very
large
organizations
rather
than
small
community-based
organizations.
That
really
are
doing
the
work
and
know
the
community
well
across
the
entire
city.
So
I
have
brought
forward
the
staff
direction
but
wanted
to
pause
so
that
the.
H
H
B
B
F
A
C
B
B
Carries
and
those
items
are
adopted,
the
next
order
of
business
is
the
introduction
and
referral
calendar.
We
have
one
item
today
and
that's
emotion
from
councilmember
Cunningham
to
introduce
gift
first
reading
to
and
refer
to
the
business
inspections
and
zoning
committee,
the
subject
matter
of
an
ordinance
amending
the
housing
Eden
its
code
to
add
provisions
requiring
payment
of
tenant
relocation
assistance
following
a
revocation
or
cancellation
of
a
rental
dwelling
license.
Is
there
any
discussion
on
that
introduction.
E
A
C
B
B
Carries
on
that
item
is
referred
to
the
bids
committee.
Next,
we
have
the
order
of
resolution
and
we
have
one
on
a
resolution
today,
and
that
is
the
honor
a
resolution
that
declares
but
part
of
me.
This
is
all
right.
Sorry
mix
this
up
with
the
public
service
week,
I'm
critical
and
continue
reading
the
agenda.
So
we
have
the
order
of
resolutions
and
we
have
one
our
honor
a
resolution
today.
K
Good
morning
and
council
president
vendor
and
good
morning,
the
entire
City
Council
and
the
mayor,
thank
you
so
much
for
honoring
our
Public
Works
employees,
especially
now
as
they
provide
stability
and
service
to
our
community.
I
want
to
thank
you
all
for
supporting
our
teams.
Your
support
is
felt
by
all
of
our
employees,
from
the
water
treatment
operators
to
our
sign
installers
to
our
folks
who
maintain
vehicles
who
plan
ahead
for
the
future
of
transportation,
who
keep
our
waterways
clean
and
really
all
of
our
employees
and
Public
Works.
They
feel
your
support.
K
B
Thank
you
so
much
council,
member,
Rick
and
I
both
of
your
sentiments.
This
is
often
work
that
can
feel
invisible,
sometimes,
but
we
all
rely
on
our
Public
Works
employees,
so
much
from
turning
on
the
tap
and
getting
clean
water
to
our
sewer
system,
our
stormwater
system,
our
roads
and
bridges
and
we're
so
very
thankful.

For
some
artists
this
is
their
Black
Friday.
This
is
where
they
make
their
year.
They
really
build
their
production
schedule
around
gearing
up
for
our
Doral,
and
this
is
where
they
make
a
lot
of
sales.
And
so,
if
you
are
someone
who
is
interested
in
enjoying
culture
and
art,
they
are
doing
an
online
version
of
it.
You
can
go
to
Nima
org
and
see
all
of
this
art
on
display
and
hopefully
buy
some
and
help.
G
People
continue
to
work
and
thrive
as
artists
in
our
community
and
take
some
real
enjoyment
and
pleasure
in
the
great
cultural
offerings
that
our
city
has
so
don't
let
the
pandemic
cancelar
de
worl,
for
you
we'll
do
it
virtually
this
year,
we'll
look
forward
to
coming
back
together
for
the
biggest
and
best
celebration
of
arts
and
culture
anywhere
in
the
country
next
year,
and
for
many
many
years
after
that.
Thank
you.
L
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
my
colleague,
councilmember
Fletcher
is
correct,
but
our
Tyrell,
virtual
or
otherwise
is
so
big.
It
does
need
two
announcements:
it's
just
a
ritual
that
we
always
do
but
yeah
the
Northeast
Minneapolis
Arts
Association
emo,
and
they
will
be
launching
that
starting
at
5
p.m.
and
and
I'm
glad
the
qualifier
one
of
the
best
shifted
in
Fletcher's
announcement
to
the
best
and
I.
Think
that
is
correct
and
also
I
would
just
urge
do
not
maybe
consider
by
an
art
but
maybe
really
truly
consider
by
Ansel
art
and
enjoy
your
weekend.
Thanks.

That's
incredible
news
because
it
will
mean
that
our
voters
will
have
access
to
well
known
community
based
spaces
that
are
accessible
and
large
enough
to
accommodate
the
health
and
safety
guidelines
for
voting
sites
that
have
been
recommended
by
the
CDC.
Also,
the
schools
have
been
there
aren't
classes
going
on,
and
so
the
likelihood
that
voters
will
infect
students
or
students
will
in
fact
voters
is-
is
not
there.
So
that's
another
really
great
reason.
I
know
our
elections.
M
Crew
is
very
happy
to
receive
that
news
and
we
will
have
a
bigger
report
on
their
initial
plans
presented
next
week
at
the
Pogo
meeting.
But
I
wanted
to
share
some
good
news.
This
Friday
and
I
really
thank
our
school
district
and
its
leaders
for
being
democracy,
champions
and
partnering
with
us
to
make
everyone
have
access
to
the
ballot
box
this
year.
So
that's
it.
N
N
So
folks
would
know
how
to
click
on
to
the
link
in
order
to
consider
looking
at
and
purchasing
art,
but
I
don't
have
a
good
way
to
tell
people
how
to
do
it,
and
maybe
the
city
could
be
helpful
in
some
sort
of
press
release
as
well.
I
think
at
this
point
in
time,
even
nonprofit,
partners
and
and
other
organizations
need
us
to
help,
get
the
word
out
and
I
would
be
happy
to
do
it
if
there
was
a
simple
way
that
we
could
get
it
out.
So
thank
you.
