B
Good
afternoon
my
name
is
andrea
jenkins
and
I
am
the
chair
of
the
policy
and
government
oversight
committee.
I
will
call
to
order
our
regular
committee
meeting
for
tuesday
november
10th
I'd
like
to
note
for
the
record
that
this
meeting
has
remote
participation
by
council
members
and
city
staff
as
authorized
under
the
minnesota
open
meeting
law,
section
13
d
.021
due
to
the
declared
state
of
local
public
health
emergency.
D
C
E
D
C
D
B
B
B
I
just
want
to
just
take
a
moment
to
congratulate
our
elections
team
on
their
efforts
to
help
us
have
a
record
turnout
in
in
bringing
this
level
of
democracy
to
our
community
and
into
the
country
as
a
whole,
and
to
just
thank
everybody
who
has
worked
tirelessly
tires
leslie
to
bring
about
this
change
in
our
country,
hopefully,
a
change
for
a
brighter
future
for
our
country.
B
So
again
we
have
16
items
and
we
will
begin
with
item
number
one
on
the
agenda,
which
is
a
public
hearing
for
the
2020
level
levy
for
special
assessments
related
to
nuisance,
condition,
abatement,
unpaid,
administrative
enforcement
fees
and
fines,
tenant
remedy
act
and
the
emergency
housing
repair.
We
will
begin
with
a
staff
presentation
from
nick
mcgreno
from
the
department
of
regulatory
services.
B
F
F
Typically,
this
is
something
that
would
go
to
the
economic
development
and
regulatory
services
committee,
but
with
the
reorganization
this
year,
we're
having
it
go
to
the
policy
and
government
oversight
committee,
since
the
hearings
were
scheduled
for
what
would
have
been
the
same
time
and
we
have
the
full
council
for
this
meeting.
F
We
go
to
the
next
slide
here,
so
just
to
summarize
this
process
in
minneapolis,
if
we
have
unpaid
fees
and
fines
for
a
variety
of
different
things,
so
things
like
unpaid,
administrative
citations
or
fees
for
nuisance,
abatements
or
reinspection
fees,
bank
building,
registration
fees,
a
few
other
things.
F
We
collect
that
money
by
adding
it
to
property
taxes,
rather
than
sending
it
to
like
a
collections
agency,
and
in
order
to
do
that,
we
have
to
go
through
a
hearing
process
which
is
mandated
by
state
law
and
then,
ultimately,
at
the
end
of
the
year,
the
city
council
has
to
sign
off
on
the.
G
F
And
then
we
send
that
to
hennepin
county
to
add
to
property
taxes
so
for
everything
included
in
the
levy,
except
for
one
type
of
particular
assessment,
which
is
ordered
by
courts.
We
send
what's
called
the
notice
of
intent
to
assess
letter
that
explains
people's
appeal
rights
and
instruction
instructs
them
on
how
they
could
prepay
that
this
year
or
what
would
happen
if
it's
added
to
their
taxes
if
it
remains
unpaid
at
the
end
of
november
this
year
we
did
do
six
in-person
hearings
prior
to
the
covet
19
pandemic.
F
We
did
cancel
two
that
were
on
the
calendar
and
then
ultimately
ended
up
setting
up
an
online
appeal
process
and
we've
had
22
of
those
hearings.
We
gave
people
the
option
to
either
call
in
or
join
in
microsoft
teams
to
do
a
video
conference.
Those
ended
up
going,
I
think,
fairly.
F
Well,
we
were
pretty
flexible
with
with
dates
and
times
and
technical
issues,
and
so
I
think
we
were
able
to
get
everybody
heard
who
wanted
to
be
heard
and
then,
at
the
end
of
the
year,
people
do
have
the
option
after
the
city
council
approves
the
levy
to
appeal
that
in
hennepin
county
district
court
and
that's
something
that
was
also
explained
on
the
notice
of
intent
to
assess
letter.
F
If
we
go
to
the
next
page
here,
there's
just
a
breakdown
of
what
the
individual
levies
are
so
there's.
You
know
a
few
things.
We
have
unpaid
administrative
citations
from
a
number
of
different
departments,
as
well
as
particular
abatement
costs
for
things
like
you
know,
if
we
cut
down
a
hazardous
tree
or
if
we
remove
trash
from
somebody's
yard,
those
are
things
that
we
recoup
from
this
process
as
well
you're.
You
know
welcome
to
to
look
at
the
individual
numbers
on
there.
F
F
So
we
will
continue
to
take
those
and
then
yeah,
I
think
that's
it
for
me,
I'm
happy
to
stand
for
any
questions.
If
anybody
has
them.
B
Thank
you
for
that
presentation.
H
Yeah,
I
was
just
curious
about
the
total
levy
amount.
Is
that
consistent
with
years
previous,
or
is
that
higher
or
lower
do
we
know?
Have
we
checked
that.
F
Yeah,
terry
jenkins
and
council
member
gordon
last
year's
offhand
by
the
time
it
went
to
the
council,
I
believe,
was
2.4.
It
is
something
that
has
steadily
decreased,
for
you
know
the
seven
or
eight
years
that
I've
been
doing
this.
In
particular.
If
you
you
look
at
some
of
the
the
larger
ticket
items
on
the
list,
you
know
things
like
the
vacant.
H
Thanks,
I
appreciate
that
and
I
actually
think
we'd
rather
get
compliance
and
not
see
this
at
such
a
big
amount,
but
I
think
it's
also
reasonable,
but
thanks
for
that.
I
Thank
you,
madam
vice
chair,
I'm
wondering
if
mr
magrino
can
just
speak
a
bit
about
the
ten
number.
Two.
The
levies
with
regard
to
the
tenant
remedies
act
were
those
specific
actions
we
took
with
landlords
who
were
not
treating
their
tenants
appropriately
and
there's
an
assessment
against
a
building.
Can
you
tell
us
a
little
more
about
that.
F
Yeah
chair
good
jenkins
and
council
member
goodman,
so
there
are
two
somewhat
newer
items
on
here.
We
have
the
the
tement
remedy
act
as
well
as,
at
the
end
there,
the
emergency
housing
repair
board.
The
tenant
remedy
act
is
when
we
have
a
a
court
order
repair.
F
So
if
a
court
appoints
an
administrator,
we
have
the
ability
to
go
in
and
make
well
typically,
the
administrator
would
go
in
and
make
the
repairs,
and
then
we
have
the
ability
to
add
the
cost
of
those
repairs
as
an
assessment
without
doing
the
formal
hearing
the
last
item
on
there.
The
emergency
housing
repair
board
is
a
newer
item
for
us
and
that's
the
situation
where
the
city
decides
that
there
is
an
emergency
housing
issue
out
of
property.
So
you
know
a
good
example
might
be.
If
a
boiler
goes
out
in
the
winter.
F
We
don't
necessarily
want
to
wait
three
weeks
for
that
item
to
get
repaired,
so
we
may
go
in
and
do
that
repair
and
then
charge
it
to
the
landlord.
I
think
for
for
both
of
these
items.
There
were
two
on
each.
There
were
two
tenant
remedy
act;
assessments
as
well
as
two
emergency
housing;
repair
board
assessments.
I
B
B
I
will
just
ask
one
more
time:
if
there
are
any
speakers
on
the
line
that
wish
to
speak
to
this
item
certainly
will
entertain
your.
E
Thank
you,
madam
chair
councilman.
Goodman
already
highlighted
this,
but
did
just
want
to
underscore
that
the
new
activities
that
are
focused
on
holding
landlords
accountable
and
also
making
sure
that
rental
housing
in
our
city
is
up
to
standard
that
it
is
safe
and
limitable.
E
Livable
and
habitable
is
the
result
of
our
work
on
the
renter
first
policy
that
directed
reg
services
and
other
city
departments
to
prioritize
the
health
and
safety
and
stability
of
our
renters
in
in
the
housing
that
we
regulate,
and
I
think
it's
a
real
success
story
for
using
policy
tools,
regulatory
tools,
budget
tools,
like
the
two
million
dollar
fund
that
we
set
aside
the
revolving
fund,
that's
helping
pay
for
some
of
those
repairs
on
the
front
end.
E
You
know
our
city,
attorney's
office's
expertise,
our
partnerships
with
legal
aid
and
volunteer
lawyers
network
and
the
advocates
who
are
organizing
renters
along
with
the
many
many
you
know,
property
owners
in
our
city
that
do
comply
with
our
rules
and
that
do
their
very
best
to
support
health
and
stability
for
folks
who
rent
their
homes.
So
anyway,
it's
nice
to
see
it
here.
E
E
D
C
H
J
D
C
K
D
D
B
And
that
item
carries
next
on
our
agenda.
That
item
carries
and
that
recommendation
will
be
referred
to
the
city
council
meeting
for
final
action.
Next,
we
have
our
consent
agenda,
which
has
12
items
items
2
through
13
on
our
agenda
items
2
to
10
are
various
contract.
Amendments
related
to
the
public
service
building
project
details
are
listed
on
the
agenda
item
number
11
approves
the
2020
property
tax,
special
assessments
for
delinquent
utility
charges
and
authorizes
utility
billing
to
cancel
any
assessments.
B
As
a
result
of
payment
item
number
12
authorizes
a
one-year
contract
with
the
minnesota
historical
society
to
develop
a
comprehensive
interpretive
zone
plan.
I
know
number
13
is
a
gift
acceptance
of
sponsorships
for
the
2020
trans
equity
summit.
Would
any
of
my
colleagues
like
to
pull
any
of
these
items
from
today's
consent
agenda.
B
D
D
C
L
C
L
A
C
D
B
And
that
item
carries
and
the
consent
agenda
is
approved,
items
number
14
and
15
are
updates
from
our
finance
subcommittee,
and
I
will
invite
council
member
fletcher,
who
is
the
chair
of
that
subcommittee,
to
lead
us
in
this
portion
of
our
meeting.
M
Thank
you,
council.
Vice
president,
we
have
two
items
on
the
finance
subcommittee.
One
that
it
turns
out
was
not
ready
for
moving
through
committee,
and
so
I'm
gonna
move
that
item
14
related
to
me.
Minneapolis
be
deleted
from
the
agenda
and
then
item
15
I'll
move
that
we
receive
and
file
the
2020
third
quarter.
Financial
report
on
the
results
of
select
city
funds.
N
Chair
fletcher,
sorry
to
interrupt
here.
If
you've
made
that
motion
as
the
chair
of
the
subcommittee,
then
the
next
action
is
to
ask
the
clerk
to
call
the
role
on
the
report
of
the
finance
subcommittee,
which
essentially
deletes
from
the
agenda
item
14
and
receives,
and
files
item
number
15
with
no
other
further
actions.
M
D
D
D
C
C
L
E
D
D
D
B
B
O
Thank
you,
chair
jenkins,
hello,
jenkins
and
council
members.
My
name
is
track.
Trachtenberg,
I'm
the
trans
equity
project
coordinator
in
the
division
of
race
and
equity.
O
O
Trans
day
of
remembrance
is
also
marked
as
trans
day
of
resilience
to
honor
the
resilience,
power
and
work
of
our
trans
and
gender
non-conforming
community
striving
to
create
a
world
where
every
trans
person
is
alive,
safe
and
able
to
live
the
life
they
deserve.
Since
2014,
the
city
of
minneapolis
has
explicitly
committed
to
both
trans
equity
work
and
racial
equity
work,
which
are,
as
we
know,
inextricably
connected.
Today.
O
We
bring
an
update
on
the
scope
and
accomplishments
of
the
trans
equity
work
so
far
and
its
future
direction
as
we
work
together
to
create
a
place
where
every
trans
resident
can
live
safely.
Next
slide,
please
in
2014,
the
city
established
the
trans-issues
work
group,
a
primarily
internal
group
of
city
staff
and
a
few
community
partners.
O
2014
also
marked
the
city's
first
annual
equity
summit,
an
event
which
has
grown
each
year
since
then,
at
the
recommendation
of
the
trans
issues
work
group,
the
city
also
created
a
new
appointed
board.
The
transgender
equity
council
in
2017
and
the
transgender
equity
council
or
tec
presented
recommendations
to
the
peace
council.
Peace
council
committee.
Excuse
me
in
the
fall
of
both
2018
and
2019,
which
I'll
speak
to
more
in
a
minute
next
slide.
O
Please
I'm
going
to
speak
a
bit
to
the
transequity
summit
over
the
past
few
years,
as
you
can
see
from
the
numbers
on
these
slides.
The
number
of
registrants
for
the
summer
summit
excuse
me
have
grown
each
year.
There's
one
typo
on
here.
The
2019
summit
has
492
not
192
registrants
to
speak
to
some
of
the
additional
pieces
that
have
grown
in
2019.
O
We
added
a
healing
space
offering
bodywork
and
tarot
readings,
amongst
other
things,
which
was
one
of
the
most
highly
reviewed
parts
of
the
summit
that
year
and
expanded
it
in
2020
to
encompass
aesthetic
offerings,
including
makeup
tutorials,
and
to
feature
presenters
that
better
represented
our
entire
transingency
community,
including
more
offerings
by
trans
women
and
femmes.
Our
programming
has
grown
each
year.
The
job
and
resource
fair
is
now
incorporated
into
the
same
day
as
the
rest
of
the
summit
to
increase
accessibility.
O
2019
was
also
the
first
year
that
we
solicited
workshop
proposals
from
the
community,
instead
of
solely
seeking
out
the
specific
workshops
that
the
summit
planning
committee
dreamed
up
and
the
number
of
workshops
and
scope
of
those
workshops
has
grown
each
of
the
past
seven
years.
O
Lastly,
this
year,
of
course,
due
to
the
pandemic,
we
transitioned
the
summit
to
a
virtual
event
and
expanded
it
to
multiple
days
to
increase
its
accessibility,
so
that
we
wouldn't
be
asking
people
to
sit
all
day
in
a
virtual
summit
and
we're
able
to
make
that
transition
successfully
as
well
from
the
feedback.
We've
gotten
next
slide.
Please.
O
I
also
want
to
speak
a
little
bit
to
some
of
the
specific
policy
accomplishments,
for
example,
of
the
trans
equity
work.
As
you
can
see
in
2016
and
2017
the
issues
work
group,
both
recommended
police
policy
and
procedure
and
helped
the
city
make
a
commitment
to
all
gender
bathrooms
and
city
buildings
in
2018.
O
The
tec
started
or
helped
to
start
a
gender
inclusivity.
O
101
training
for
city
employees
that
has
now
been
accessed
by
multiple
departments
in
2019,
we
saw
the
city's
first
part-time,
temporary
staff
role
in
transequity,
the
successful
banning
of
conversion
therapy
in
minneapolis
the
stonewall
oral
history
project
and
work
with
the
facility
space
and
asset
management
committee
in
terms
of
bathrooms
and
city
buildings,
amongst
other
things,
and
in
2020,
highlighting
our
first
full-time
permanent
trans
equity
staff
role
for
community
listening
sessions
around
the
scope
and
direction
of
the
trans
equity
work
with
more
to
come,
and
a
partnership
with
the
minnesota
department
of
health
to
create
coven,
19,
lgbtq,
plus
bi-weekly
community
briefings
next
slide.
O
Please
having
talked
through
all
of
this,
I
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
the
next
directions
of
this
work,
and
I
want
to
highlight
that
I
think
I
might
have
not
sent
in
the
most
updated
version
of
this
slide.
So
the
bottom
left
box
should
say
technical
assistance,
support
to
departments
around
community
engagement,
but
there
is
a
lot
of
work.
That's
already
in
progress
around
community
engagement
and
outreach
already
beginning
to
plan
next
year's
summit.
O
Trans
equity
work,
strategic
planning
as
part
of
the
division
of
race
and
equity,
strategic
planning
and,
as
I
mentioned,
technical
assistance,
support
to
other
departments
around
community
engagement
and
other
work
with
trans
and
gnc
communities.
For
each
thing,
that's
in
progress,
I
have
also
listed
what
are
the
needs
that
allow
this
work
to
continue?
Moving
next
slide,
please.
O
O
They
have
made
recommendations
around
bathrooms,
specifically
all
gender
bathroom
construction
in
city
buildings
and
enforcing
equitable
bathroom
access
in
non-city
buildings,
both
of
which
require
staff,
commitment
and
capacity
around
a
public
awareness
campaign,
anti-discrimination
standards
and
trainings
for
housing,
both
rentals
and
shelters,
both
of
which
would
be
budget
neutral
and
require
just
staff
commitment
and
a
work
or
work
that
is
already
in
progress,
training
and
inclusion
requirements
around
trans
and
gnc
inclusivity
in
city
contracts
and
grants
and
further
growing
the
gender
inclusivity
training
that
city
staff
receive,
both
of
which
are
things
that
rely
on
funding
and
staff
commitment
and
capacity.
O
Additionally,
current
gec
members
have
expressed
interest
in
the
impact
of
the
city's
austerity
measures
on
trans
community
members
with
staff
commitment
from
relevant
departments.
We
could
explore
the
impact
of
programs
that
are
being
cut
on
trans
and
gnc
community
members
and
ensure
that
when
positions
are
restructured
or
refilled,
the
less
formal
parts
of
their
role,
such
as
relationships
held
in
community,
do
not
disappear
in
the
shuffle.
O
B
Thank
you
so
much
track
for
that
for
that
great
presentation
and
and
really
highlighting
the
efforts
of
the
trans
equity
work
that
has
been
going
on
over
the
past
seven
years
and
really
you
know
acknowledging
that
this
year
is
has
been
one
of
the
deadliest
years
for
trans
and
gender
non-conforming
people
and
predominantly
for
black
and
brown
trans
women.
B
B
Quite
frankly,
and
and
not
only
did
it
go
on,
but
increased
attendance
and
participation
from
members
throughout
our
community
and,
I
think,
even
broader
than
just
the
city
of
minneapolis,
given
that
it
was
a
virtual
event,
we
were
able
to
include
people
from
out
state
and
and
out
of
the
state
as
well,
so
so
kudos
any
conversation
or
questions
or
remarks
from
my
colleagues.
J
Thank
you
excuse
me,
thank
you,
madam
vice
president,
and
thank
you
track
for
this
presentation
and
thank
you
for
all
your
hard
work.
I
just
really
think
it's
necessary
for
us
to
name
how
lucky
we
are
as
a
municipality
to
have
trans
equity,
trans
equity,
work
integrated
into
and
institutionalized
into
our
city
enterprise.
That's
a
really
big
deal
and
a
lot
of
cities
look
to
minneapolis
with
how
forward
thinking
that
is,
and
it
like
it's
forward
thinking
for
not
trans
cisgender
people
for
us
trans
folks.
J
Much
as
track
said,
you
have
race
equity,
you
have
trans
equity
and
those
two
things
are
are
interconnected
in
ways
that
really
cannot
be
separated,
and
so
I
really
and-
and
I
think
it's
also
necessary
to
name
that
we
have
some
of
the
most
brilliant
trans
folks
in
the
country
who
are
volunteering
their
time
to
help
the
city
be
better
and
do
better
and
think
smarter
and
make
policies
from
a
deeper
analysis
than
than
we
would
have
done
just
in
our
own.
I,
in
our
own
silos,
representation
matters.
J
That
definitely
does
make
a
difference
and
also,
at
the
same
time,
we
have
to
we're
elected
leaders,
and
what
we
need
to
make
sure
happens
is
that,
when
we
are
no
longer
in
these
positions
of
leadership,
that
those
voices
live
on
and
are
institutionalized
and
that
that
space
is
permanently
created,
and
so
thank
you
track
for
all
that
you
do
it's
challenging
to
pick
up,
work
and
and
that's
new
and
help
to
shape
it
and
define
it,
while
also
giving
space
for
multiple
community
members
to
shape
and
define
it.
J
That
is
a
very
challenging
line
to
walk
and
you've
done
a
really
amazing
job.
So
I
just
want
to
give
a
big
thank
you
and
also
raise
and
praise
all
of
the
volunteers,
the
trans
and
gender
non-conforming
non-binary
folks
who
take
their
time
and
willingly
give
it
to
the
city
so
that
we
can
all
be
better.
So
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
everyone
involved
and
thank
you
for
your
leadership
track.
B
Thank
you,
councilmember
cunningham,
any
other
questions
or
comments
from
my
colleagues.
B
Yeah
again
track
your
efforts
are
outstanding
in
this
space
and
really
just
again,
congratulations
on
a
really
successful
2020
summit,
but
you
know
recognizing
that
this
has
been
one
of
the
most
deadly
years
for
trans
and
gender
non-conforming
people.
And
so
you
know,
as
we
thought
about
this,
this
presentation
and
and
and
track
you
know,
really
is
always
on
the
forefront
of
really,
I
think,
being
considerate
of
the
community.
B
You
know
we
didn't
want
to
re-traumatize
our
community
with
this
presentation
or
by
you
know,
lifting
up
the
work
that
the
city
is
doing,
but
I
really
think
that
it
is
really
important
that
we
lift
up
the
work
that
you
and
the
volunteers
are
doing
to
make
this
a
great
city
to
live
in,
and
so
thank
you
so
much
for
for
your
work
and
your
efforts
and
for
this
presentation-
and
I
will
move.
B
That
the
clerk
filed
this
report
for
a
future.
B
And
before
we
move
to
our
madam
chair.
B
The
body
today
yes,
so
I
will
then
ask
the
clerk
to
call
a
roll
and
move.
C
B
Presentation
and
ask
move
the
resolution
and
ask
the
clerk
to
call
wrong.
Is
that
the
appropriate
response.
R
D
D
C
D
A
C
A
D
D
B
That
item
carries,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
just
double
check
before
we
move
to
item
number
17
for
discussion
that
we
just
clarified.
S
B
M
Council
vice
president,
since
it
hadn't
been
listed
on
discussion,
I
had
assumed
that
that
had
been
changed
on
the
agenda.
I
know
there
were
some
changes
after
agenda
setting.
If
there
are
our
staff
prepared
to
make
a
report,
and
they
want
to
provide
a
brief
report
on
this
item,
I
know
we
had
discussed
getting
a
brief
update
and
I'd
be
happy
to
receive
it.
If
other
colleagues
think
that's
appropriate.
N
N
B
Thank
you,
councilman,
fletcher
and
point
of
information
for
the
clerk.
Do
we
need
to
have
a
vote
of
the
body
to
determine
if
we
want
to
review
that
report
or.
N
The
chair's
discretion,
I
think,
that's
at
your
discretion
if
members
of
the
body
would
like
to
see
that
report,
certainly
staff
are
prepared.
It's
been
published
as
part
of
the
agenda
and
available
for
public
review
as
well.
If
not,
the
motion
was
already
made
and
approved
to
receive
and
file
that
report.
It
will
become
part
of
the
public
record.
N
B
You,
mr
clerk,
president
bender.
E
Thanks,
madam
chair,
thanks
to
councilman
gordon
for
asking
about
this,
I
I
did
have
some
questions
reviewing
the
materials
it
looks
like
we're
projected
to
be
below
revenue
and
above
expenditures
this
year
as
compared
to
previous
years.
So
you
know,
I
think
it's
worth
hearing
the
information,
I'm
not
sure
what
other
folks
thought
reviewing
reviewing
the
slides,
but
it's
certainly
certainly
not
like
a
you
know,
routine
typical
presentation,
there's
some
changes
from
previous
years
due
to
the
pandemic
and
other
related
things.
So.
B
Excellent
point,
and
with
that
in
mind,
I
will
ask
that
we
receive
the
presentation
as
planned
if,
if
the
presenters
are
available.
N
So
I
think
mr
hodges
is
on
the
line,
as
well
as
some
of
the
others
from
the
finance
department,
and
we
would
certainly
then,
madam
vice
president,
encourage
mr
hodges
and
his
team
to
give
the
presentation.
I
believe
this,
the
technical
team
has
pulled
up
that
report,
so
you
should
be
able
to
see
that
on
your
screens,.
P
I
am
chair
jenkins
and
members
of
the
committee.
Thank
you
for
having
me
today,
as
I
was
introduced,
I'm
lyle
hodges
from
finance
and
property
services.
This
is
a
presentation
on
the
overview
of
the
financial
status
as
of
third
quarter
ending
september
30th
2020,
and
there
is
a
more
detailed
pdf
report
available
for
those
that
want
more
detail.
P
P
Slide
so,
as
noted
by
some
of
the
commenters
before
this,
the
financial
picture
of
the
city
as
a
whole
is
complicated
by
the
ongoing
impacts
of
the
copen
19
pandemic.
P
The
nature
of
those
impacts
and
our
responses
as
a
city
in
a
financial
capacity
creates
a
situation
where
the
projections
and
the
expectations
can
change
rapidly.
For
that
reason,
I
want
to
mention
you
know
again.
The
information
presented
here
is
as
of
september
30th
2020,
and
I
would
expect
that
some
of
these
projections
will
change
before
we
close
our
fiscal
year.
P
As
I'm
sure
you're
aware
in
july,
the
city
did
receive
just
under
32.3
million
dollars
in
federal
cares,
act,
funding
that
activity
and
the
expenditures
for
it
needs
to
be
wrapped
up.
Basically,
by
the
end
of
this
week
so
november,
15th
is
the
final
deadline
for
reference.
We
have
averaged
about
52
million
in
federal
spending
over
the
last
four
years,
so
that
is
a
significant
bump
in
2020
for
federal
funding.
P
Overall
cash
and
investment
position
as
of
september
30th
2020
is
just
under
900
million
that
can
be
compared
to
last
year.
At
this
time
cash
investments
totaling
965
million.
P
We
are
projected
to
meet
our
cash
balance,
reserve
requirements
and
all
but
two
major
funds.
They
will
they'll
be
positive
cash,
but
they
just
won't
meet
that
minimum
cash
target,
and
that
is
the
sanitary,
sewer
and
municipal
parking
funds.
So
next
slide.
P
P
P
P
We
are
projected
to
spend
38.8
million
less
than
what
was
originally
adopted
as
a
budget,
so
that
just
reflects
the
efforts
of
all
the
departments
to
decrease.
Spending
on
the
other
side
of
the
equation
is
probably
where
we
have
kind
of
a
bigger
number
there.
So
we've
got
revenue
is
expected
to
decrease
by
44.9
million
and
that's
the
combination
of
lost
revenue
from
things
like
property
taxes
licenses
and
permits,
franchise
fees
and
others.
P
As
well
as
a
reduction
of
transfers
in
equaling,
22
million
dollars,
so
that
transfer
in
would
have
come
from
local
taxes
in
the
downtown
assets
fund.
So
and
here
again
the
cash
balance
we're
projecting
a
year
on
balance
of
around
131
million,
which
would
be
about
15
million
less
than
where
we
started
the
year.
P
P
So
this
chart
shows
some
comparisons
to
previous
years.
It's
got
the
the
previous
four
years,
plus
our
2020
projections.
There's
a
lot
going
on
here,
of
course,
but
the
two
lines
that
we
might
look
at
would
be
like.
I
mentioned
that
licenses
and
permits
line
is
down
projected
to
be
down
for
2020
and
then
again,
our
transfers
in
were
strategically
reduced
in
order
to
preserve
the
cash
from
those
downtown
assets.
P
Funds,
as
our
local
taxes
in
that
area,
are
significantly
lower
than
budgeted,
and
the
graph
at
the
bottom
you
know
just
represents
the
the
numbers
so
on
next
slide.
Please.
P
So
this
is
specific
to
2020
and
it's
a
graph
that
shows
how
we're
trending
compared
to
the
average
revenue
that
we
collect
as
a
percent
of
budget
in
previous
three
years.
So
the
blue
bar
on
the
left
side
of
each
quarter
shows
that
we
are
trending
under
budget
or
under
previous
years
as
compared
to
budget,
and
that's
again
due
to
the
things
I've
mentioned
previously.
We
are
projected
to
finish
the
year
at
91.4
percent
of
budget,
where
we
typically
exceed
the
budget
on
revenues
at
105.6
percent.
C
P
Time
so
again,
very
similar
to
the
revenue
chart.
This
is
the
expenditures
by
category
over
the
past
four
years,
plus
our
2020
projections.
P
P
Next
slide,
so
here
again
we're
comparing
2020
to
previous
years,
and
you
know
contrasting
to
the
revenue
graph.
You
can
see
that
we
are
exceeding
expenditures
as
a
percent
of
budgets
and
in
this
case
it
isn't
necessarily
because
we're
spending
more
totally.
It's
because
we're
spending
more
as
a
percent
of
our
budget
and
again
we
did
make
those
budgetary
reductions
in
july
and
august
to
reduce
the
budget.
P
P
Next
time,
so
the
next
three
slides
here
are
going
to
go
through
the
different
fund
types
and
we'll
start
with
the
special
revenue
funds
funds.
Special
revenue
funds
are
used
to
account
for
and
report
the
proceeds
of
specific
revenues,
they're
restricted
or
committed
to
expenditures
for
specific
purposes.
P
The
city's
significant
special
revenue
funds
are
the
convention
center
target
center,
as
well
as
downtown
assets
group.
The
mpd
forfeiture
gambling
fund,
ncr
and
rig
services,
special
revenue
funds,
the
grant
funds,
both
federal
and
other,
and
then
our
community
planning
and
economic
development
group
of
special
revenue
funds.
P
Total
fund
balance
in
the
special
revenue
funds
collectively
is
looking
like
about
18
million
decrease
compared
to
where
we
end
in
2019
cash,
similarly
decreasing
by
about
14
million
compared
to
the
2019
year.
End
also
important,
like
I
mentioned
before,
the
the
numbers,
probably
will
change
as
we
go
through
the
rest
of
the
year
and
here's
a
case
where,
prior
to
refunding
the
convention
center
debt,
the
special
revenue
fund's
cash
was
projected
to
decrease
by
39
million.
P
P
So
the
internal
service
funds,
these
funds
are
used
to
account
for
goods
and
services
provided
internally
to
other
city
departments,
and
we've
got
six
primary
internal
service
funds.
You
can
read
them
there
total
net
position
at
year.
End
2020
is
projected
to
be
about
154.2
million,
which
is
actually
a
10
million
dollar
increase
from
where
we
started
the
year.
P
We
can
delay
projects,
we
can
defer
upgrades
and
those
actions
that
were
taken
to
do
those
financial
savings
are.
Why
we're
seeing
a
slight
up
increase
in
this
group
of
funds
and
next
slide?
Please.
P
So
finally,
we've
got
the
enterprise
funds.
These
are
used
to
account
for
operations
that
sell
goods
and
services
to
external
third
parties.
P
Once
again,
we've
got
the
five
primary
utility
funds
and
then
the
cped
enterprise
fund
in
these
group
of
funds
net
position
at
year
end
is
projected
to
be
down
about
44
million
from
where
we
started
the
year,
and
cash
is
also
projected
to
be
down
about
33
million
from
where
we
started
the
year
again.
P
Revenue
losses,
coupled
with
ongoing
capital
projects
and
debt
service
obligations,
and,
frankly,
just
expenses
that
we
can't
avoid
are
driving
these
decreases.
B
Thank
you,
mr
hodges.
Are
there
any
questions
or
comments
from
my
colleagues.
B
Any
questions,
thank
you
for
this
sobering
report.
E
So
we
cut
our
budget,
obviously
in
june
or
july.
So
I'm
just
wondering
if
this
revenue
is
down
versus
what
we
expected
in
in
the
summer.
P
P
Chair
jenkins,
councilman
bender,
these
revenue
projections
are
are
in
line
with
what
was
assumed
to
be
the
case
when
the
budgetary
reductions
were
made.
Okay,.
E
Thank
you.
That
was
my
understanding,
but
that
is
helpful
and
then
it
looked
like
expenditures
were
a
little
above
what
we
have
budgeted.
E
P
Chair
jenkins,
council
member
bender,
I
think
what
this
reflects
is
that
we
did
reduce
that
expenditure
budget,
and
so
we
will
we'll
meet
that
budget
or
we'll
spend
two
budget
this
year,
where,
in
previous
years,
we've
usually
had
a
pretty
comfortable
margin
where
we're
under
spending
budget.
So
I
think,
even
though
it
is
currently
november,
is
probably
still
a
little
too
early
to
tell
what
the
final
total
expenditure
will
be
and
what
actions
will
need
to
be
taken
to
as
we
get
into
2021.
E
Okay,
thank
you
and
I
had
a
briefing
from
our
finance
staff
about
some
of
the
risks
facing
us
in
2021,
which
was
did
indicate
a
potential
need
for
mid-year
budget
cuts,
particularly
depending
on
the
outcome
of
the
lawsuits
that
we
have
related
to
our
police
department,
which,
of
course,
are
not
reflected
here.
E
So
this
is
really
helpful
to
understand
kind
of
how
the
how
that
mid-year
budget
this
year
is
playing
out
as
we
look
to
our
our
upcoming
budget
process.
So
thanks
thanks
for
that,
follow
up.
B
Thank
you,
madam
president,
councilmember
schrader.
A
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
just
wanted
to
kind
of
highlight
the
point.
The
console
president
just
made
it
sounds
like
we've
had
a
little
bit
of
leeway
in
our
budget
and
just
to
make
sure
I'm
understanding
you're
right,
like
we
just
really
don't
have
any
room
for
adding
new
programs
or
anything
new.
It
looks
like
in
this
year
and
it
looks
like
that
will
continue
into
next
year.
Based
on
the
projections,
you
have.
P
Chair
jenkins,
councilmember,
shorter
yeah,
that
that
would
be
a
fair
statement
that
we
will
spend.
We
are
projecting
to
spend
to
budget
in
2020,
so
there
will
be
minimal
budgetary
amounts
left
on
the
table
so
to
speak.
B
All
right
well,
thank
you
again,
mr
hodges,
for
that
presentation.
Sorry
for
the
mix-up
and
confusion-
and
we
have
already
received
this
report
and
taken
the
appropriate
action.
So
we'll
now
move
to
our
last
discussion,
item
or
item
number
17,
I'm
sorry,
and
that
is
a
contract
with
hennepin
county
sheriff's
department
and
metropolitan
council,
slash
metro
transit
to
assist
minneapolis
police
department
with
law
enforcement
personnel
under
the
direction
and
command
of
mpd
chief
madero
aaron
dondo
will
be
providing
that
report
chief.
Are
you
available.
T
Good
afternoon,
madam
chair
and
council
members,
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
speak
with
you
today
really
regarding
this
request
from
the
council.
T
We
have
unfortunately
experienced
unprecedented
uptick
and
violent
crime
this
year.
Sadly
after
report
that,
as
of
to
date,
74
homicides
as
well
as
getting
close
to
over
roughly
500
of
our
community
members,
who've
been
shot
and
wounded
in
our
city,
as
well
as
a
significant
increase
in
carjackings
throughout
our
city.
T
This
violent
crime
that
we've
been
experiencing
in
our
city
this
year
has
not
been
relegated
to
a
certain
neighborhood
or
section
of
our
city,
but
it
certainly
has
been
impacting
all
four
corners
of
our
city,
and
so
the
the
ask
today
is
for
the
council
to
provide
provide
me
the
opportunity
to
have
funding
available
to
engage
in
the
joint
enforcement
team
initiative.
T
The
joint
enforcement
team
initiative
is
is
really
a
data
based
focus
to
prevent
violent
crime
in
in
our
city,
and
this
has
been
an
effort
over
several
years
ago.
Back
in
2014,
we
engaged
in
this
back.
When
our
northside
community
had
been
experiencing
a
a
peak
in
violent
crime,
then
it
was
really
relegated.
T
T
The
ask
of
this
time
is
really
again
to
acquire
the
funding
to
be
able
to
to
really
help
our
men
and
women
who
have
been
doing
a
phenomenal
job
out
there,
trying
to
reduce
and
work
under,
not
only
the
pandemic,
but
the
increases
of
violent
crime,
but
really
to
to
restore
peace
and
safety
back
into
our
city,
minneapolis
police
department.
Right
now
our
resources
are
hemorrhaging.
T
Our
city
is
bleeding
at
this
moment.
I'm
trying
to
do
all
I
can
to
stop
that
bleeding
and
I'm
hoping
that
through
having
the
funds
to
to
launch
a
city-wide
joint
enforcement
team
initiative,
we
can
try
to
try
to
stop
the
bleeding
here
in
our
city.
We
again
previous
partners
have
been
metro,
transit,
police
department,
hennepin
county
sheriff's
office
and
the
state
patrol.
T
That
being
said,
we
are
in
a
need
to
have
resources
to
help
our
city
and
if
there
are
other
agencies-
and
we
have
a
great
partners
in
our
mutual
aid
organization,
I'm
willing
to
take
whatever
agencies
would
be
willing
to
help
us
during
this
critical
time
of
public
safety
in
our
city.
T
So
that
is
really
the
program
in
and
of
itself
there
are
some
contracts
that
have
to
be
worked
out
and
signed,
but
at
this
time
again
I
want
to
stress
it:
there's
no
formal
or
official
contracts
that
are
being
that
are
completed
at
this
time.
It's
really
just
an
ask
right
now
from
our
city
officials
to
help
us
in
this
effort
with
that
manager,
I'll
pause.
B
Thank
you
chief
looks
like
we
have
a
a
comment
or
a
question
from
the
mayor
mayor,
frye.
U
Thank
you,
madam
vice
president.
I
wanted
to
to
touch
on
on
what
the
chief
just
said.
You
know
at
this
moment
in
time.
This
is
an
authorization
to
allow
the
chief
and
our
city
to
move
forward
with
a
conversation
with
a
combination
of
both
hennepin
county
sheriff's
office,
as
well
as
metro
transit
to
see
what
resources
we
may
have
available
to
us
during
this
time,
where
we've
seen
really
tremendous
attrition,
you
know
normally
on
an
annual
basis.
We
see
somewhere
in
the
range
of
40
to
45
officers,
retire
or
resign.
U
Now
those
those
numbers
are
well
beyond
100
and
it
does
have
an
impact.
Minneapolis
neighborhood
neighborhoods
have
been
subjected
to
an
unacceptable
level
of
violence
and
specifically
gun
violence,
and
our
residents
and
families
they've
been
very
clear
in
reaching
out
to
our
city
in
droves
and
and
telling
us
that
they
need
help.
They
need
assistance
and
one
of
the
the
most
core
functions
of
city
government
is
being
able
to
to
call
9-1-1
and
have
a
response
when
you
are
in
need
of
assistance.
U
U
The
the
chief
has
made
clear
and
spoken
plainly
about
the
need
to
increase
capacity
in
the
interim
before
any
new
recruiting
classes
come
on,
come
in
and-
and
I
do
trust
him-
and
let
me
be
clear-
you
know
this
these,
this
additional
resource,
this
additional
assistance-
it
won't
fix
the
problem,
but
it
would
help-
and
I
believe
that
we
do
in
fact
have
a
duty
to
help
right
now-
and
you
know
this
this
does
this
does
not
go
to
to
mean
that
we
we
don't
need
to
be
doing
a
whole
lot
of
other
work
in
our
city.
U
Our
city
is
presently
undergoing
a
massive
plan
to
transform
what
public
safety
looks
like.
We
have
three
new
shelters
that
are
coming
online,
including
a
very
new
vision
for
indoor
community
villages,
we're
investing
in
low
income
and
affordable
housing,
we're
doing
all
sorts
of
work
around
economic
inclusion,
and
we
need
to
do
the
very
necessary
work
around
public
safety.
You
know
in
most
of
these
budget
conversations
on
any
other
year.
The
discussions
are
usually
centered
around,
should
we
add
10
officers
or
reduce
10
officers.
U
Now
we're
looking
at
12
times
that
or
more
than
that,
and
so
I
I
think
it's
it's
necessary
that
we
we
answer
this
call
for
for
public
safety
in
our
city,
and
so
often
it's
the
victims
that
get
lost
in
the
conversation
by
the
way
like
81,
of
whom
are
black,
we've
had
over
500
shootings
in
our
city,
81
percent
of
those
a
black
victim,
and
I
think
it's
necessary
for
all
of
us
to
to
see
our
responsibility
and
duties
to
provide
that
necessary
core
safety,
especially
during
this
tumultuous
time,
and
so
I
I
do
support
our
chief
in
this.
U
In
this
mission
and
like
I
said,
the
work
doesn't
stop
here,
there's
all
sorts
of
work
beyond
there's
safety
beyond
policing
work,
there's
accountability,
work,
there's
so
much
work
that
goes
beyond
this,
but
it
also
includes
a
response
from
officers
when
people
need
it.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you
mayor.
We
have
council
president
bender,
thank
you
and
several
other
council
members
just
so
you
guys
know
that
I
do
see
you.
E
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
actually
think
council
member
gordon
was
ahead
of
me
in
the
queue.
B
My
apologies,
councilmember
gordon
council,
president
bender
is
correct.
You
were
ahead
of
her.
Do
you.
H
That's
fine.
I
can
have
a
couple
questions
now.
I'm
just
curious
if
the
funding
that
we're
talking
about,
if
there's
extra
money
in
the
police
department
budget
because
of
these
early
retirements
and
people
leaving
is,
is
there
the
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
available
in
the
police
department's
budget
to
cover
the
expenses
of
this
proposal?.
H
And
my
second
question
is:
how
many
ftes
will
this
actually
provide.
T
Yes,
madam
chair
to
council
member
gordon
to
your
first
question:
no,
as
we
currently
stand
right
now,
I
do
not
have
the
the
allocated.
I
don't
have
the
dollars
right
now
to
provide
this
this
funding,
so
I
know
that
the
mayor
and
our
finance
team
have
been
working
on
where
to
identify
those
those
numbers
as
far
as
the
ftes
we
are
working
in
in
conversation
with
those
agencies
that
would
be
willing
to
assist
us
to
see
where
we
could
get
to.
T
While
I
don't
see
this
and
again,
this
is
speculative,
but
I
don't
see
this
being
over
40
or
so
ftes,
but
at
the
same
time
I
don't
see
it
being
less
than
20..
So
the
goal
a
good
goal
would
be
to
be
having
around
at
least
40
fts.
For
this,
for
this
engagement.
T
Madam
chair
to
customer
gordon
again
in
terms
of
the
logistics
and
the
scheduling
and
all
of
that
details,
those
still
have
yet
to
be
finalized,
but
at
least
right
now
the
goal
would
be
to
have
those
additional
resources
working
seven
days
a
week
and
certainly
during
the
high
volume
call
volume
times
throughout
our.
L
City,
would
you
mind
this
is
robin?
Would
you
mind
if
I
answered
one
of
the
questions
for
councilmember
gordon.
B
Welcome
miss
mcpherson.
Yes,
please.
L
And
I
apologize
I'm
on
my
phone,
but
I
wanted
to
to
explain
a
little
bit
about
the
people
that
are
on
leave
on
leave.
You
are
still
an
employee
of
the
city,
and
so
they
are
still
getting
paid
through
the
police
department
budget.
So
until
people
separate
they
will
continue
to
be
paid
through
the
police
department
budget,
which
means
we
don't
see
a
savings
until
those
people
have
actually
separated
from
the
city.
H
H
L
Councilmember
gordon
committee,
chair
jenkins,
the
we
do
not
have
that
information,
yet
it
probably
will
be
next
week
before
we
do
due
to
the
lifetime
of
people
putting
in
their
hours.
But
I
would
be
happy
to
get
that
for
you
once
that
information
has
been
input.
B
Thank
you,
councilman,
gordon
and
again,
my
apologies
council
president
bender.
E
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
was
able
to
review
the
rca
when
it
was
published
yesterday,
but
I
didn't
see
a
contract
included
in
the
publicly
available
materials.
Is
there
a
contract
that
we
can
review
for
details
of
this
agreement.
T
Madam
chair
to
council
president
bender,
so
I
know
that
we
have
some
folks
working
on
the
contract
because
again
we
have
not
really
solidified
things.
This
is
really
my
opportunity
to
see
if
I'm
allowed
to
have
the
funding
for
this
to
move
forward,
but
there
has
absolutely
been
conversations
with
prospective
agencies
that
would
be
willing
to
help
assist
so
so
my
understanding
is
at
least
as
of
today,
there's
not
a
finalized
contract.
At
this
point.
T
We
operate
under
a
very
similar,
unified
command
system
where
those
agencies
coming
into
minneapolis
would
would
be
provided
direction
and
guidance
in
terms
of
where,
throughout
the
city,
through
that
data
to
help
us
assist
with
violent
crime.
T
However,
that
being
said,
those
agencies
are
also
responsible
for
adhering
to
their
policies
their
procedures,
if
you
consider
mutual
aid,
for
example,
when
those
agencies
assisted
our
city
and
continue
to
assist
our
city,
they
they
still
have
to
abide
by
their
policies
and
procedures
as
well
as
that,
we
are
certainly
giving
them
guidance
as
to
some
of
our
operating
or
standard
operating
procedures
here
in
minneapolis.
T
T
Madam
chair
to
council
president
bender
again
just
off
of
looking
at
previous
those
previous
contracts
back
in
2014.
I
believe
that
there
was
specific
language
related
to
that
separate
jurisdiction
and
the
responsibilities
they
have.
But
again,
our
city
attorneys
would
be
reviewing
those.
E
E
T
Madam
chair
to
council
president
bender
really
violent
crime
is,
is
why
I'm
asking
of
this
this
resource
today?
So
what
will
it
will
help
us
do?
Is
we
have
specific
mpd
teams
that
are
focused
daily
on
trying
to
reduce
that
violent
crime?
T
This
added
resource
will
allow
those
folks
to
continue
to
do
that
as
well
as,
for
example,
metro
transit,
for
example,
their
concentration
on
our
public
transportation
platforms
and
hubs
throughout
our
city
that
are
obviously
connected
to
our
neighborhoods,
where
they're
experiencing
violent
crime
they'd
be
able
to
be
focused
on
that
and
and
full
time
focused
on
that
during
those
shifts,
and
so
this
is
an
extension
of
a
lot
of
the
work
that
some
of
these
agencies
currently
do,
but
make
no
doubt
about
it:
the
violent
crime
that
we've
seen,
as
you
mentioned,
the
carjackings,
the
shootings,
the
shots
fired.
T
These
are
it's
unacceptable,
and
so
we
would
be
utilizing
these
resources
to
help
us
mitigate
and
prevent
the
violent
crime
that
we're
seeing.
E
E
Of
course,
george
floyd's,
but
also
the
lawsuits
that
followed
in
the
civil
unrest
in
the
protests
in
the
days
after
my
recollection,
is
that
there
was
a
need
to
potentially
use
contingency
funds
to
cover
those
expenses.
Could
someone
in
finance
answer
that
question?
Do
we
have
enough
funds
in
the
self-insurance
fund
to
cover
the
anticipated
potential
costs
of
police-involved
lawsuits,
or
is
there
a
potential
need
to
use
contingency
or
budget
cuts
to
cover
those
expenses
in
2021.
B
V
Sure
jenkins
comes
to
president
bender.
The
short
answer
is
we
don't
know
what
the
lawsuit
dollar
amounts
are.
So
I
can't
exactly
answer
the
question
that
you
are
asking,
but
there
are
a
multitude
of
financial
risks
that
the
city
is
facing
next
year
and
as
mr
hodges
outlined,
we
do
have
dollars
right
now
that
are
above
our
minimum
17
general
fund
contingency.
We
are
above
that
by
a
substantial
amount,
and
we
also
have
uncertainties
about
revenues
next
year
and
how
long
covert
19
is
going
to
last.
V
We
have
uncertainties
about
what
the
legislature
may
or
may
not
do
in
terms
of
cuts
in
states
not
just
for
minneapolis,
but
for
any
jurisdiction,
because
the
state
has
its
own
financial
situation
and
we
have,
on
the
other
side
of
it,
some
optimism
that,
just
as
we
received
some
cares
money
this
year
with
a
change
in
the
federal
administration,
we
may
see
more
relief
for
state
and
local
governments
in
terms
of
revenue
loss
offset
from
that.
V
So
there
are
both
potential
for
pluses
and
for
minuses
on
the
financial
objectives,
but
the
short
answer
is:
do
we
have
enough
money
in
contingency
to
cover
the
request
from
the
chief
today,
given
what
we
know
for
2020?
The
short
answer
is
yes.
We
have
enough
in
contingency
to
cover
what
the
chief
is
asking
for,
but
with
the
caution
that
as
we,
oh,
you
have
outlined.
There's
uncertainty
for
next
year
as
well.
E
The
numbers
that
I
was
shown,
which
were
quite
conservative,
are
alarming,
but,
as
you
noted,
you
know
potential
potential
for
the
numbers
to
not
be
so
large
for
a
mid-year
2021
budget
cut.
Thank
you.
I
know
there
are
others
who
want
to
ask
questions.
B
Thank
you,
president
binder
council,
member
palmisano,
then
cunningham.
S
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I'd,
like
to
point
out
that
this
is
not
an
unprecedented
agreement.
This
is
a
typical
mutual
aid
agreement.
I've
seen
three
other
contracts
that
we've
authorized.
In
the
last
five
years.
We
have
used
joint
enforcement
teams
in
the
past
when
city
leadership
have
determined
our
existing
capacity
is
not
sufficient
to
address
an
emergency.
S
What
is
unprecedented
is
the
number
of
separations
and
officers
currently
unavailable
for
911
response
during
a
statistically
significant
increase
in
violent
crime.
I
and
everyone
else
that
I
have
spoken
with
that
supports
this
proposal
today,
are
absolutely
committed
to
all
of
the
transforming
public
safety
services
efforts
in
our
city.
This
doesn't
change
that
commitment.
S
In
fact,
I
think
it
complements
it.
It's
a
temporary
program
to
assist
with
the
significant
need
that
we
have
right
now.
We
have
only
just
begun.
Our
community
outreach
efforts
on
transforming
public
safety,
I'd
like
to
lift
up
council
member
cunningham's
efforts
on
that,
and
we
also
have
pressing
public
safety
needs
today.
S
S
S
I
work
year-round
with
our
budget
and
finance
teams
to
understand
the
impacts
and
our
decision-making
and
what
that
decision
making
has
on
our
fixed
spending
ability.
I
also
know
that
mpd
is
already
over
budget
for
the
year,
and
one
of
the
main
drivers
of
that
is
how
we
are
backfilling.
These
vacancies
with
more
and
more
overtime.
S
B
Thank
you
councilmember
pamasano.
Next
we
have
councilmember
cunningham.
J
Thank
you,
madam
vice
president,
and
so
so
I
I
have
a
few
questions
that
I
was
hoping
to
be
able
to
ask
the
chief,
but
I
do
just
want
to
say
that
we
are
also
what
is
also
unprecedented
is
the
level
of
demand
that
we've
experienced
from
community
for
increased
accountability
and
changes
in
the
police
department.
So
that
is
what
does
that
this
particular
request
apart
from
previous
years,
so
I
think
it's
worthwhile
to
name
that
so
chief,
I
I
have
a
few
questions.
J
T
Madam
chair
to
councilmember
cunningham,
I
don't
have
those
statistics
in
front
of
me,
so
I
I'd
only
be
speculating
at
at
this
point.
T
Seasonally
in
minnesota
winter
months
can
oftentimes
just
naturally
have
some
decreases
in
crime,
but
I
would
also
just
offset
that
with
the
fact
that,
when,
when
we're
currently
down
about
150
functioning
sworn
officers
at
this
point,
you
have
to
account
for
that
as
well
and
the
fact
that,
again,
that
we're
dealing
with
a
significant
unprecedented
increase
in
crime
for
this
year.
But
I
I
don't
have
those
specific
details
in
terms
of
seasonally.
What
those
decreases
are
over
years.
J
Okay,
but
we
do
see
a
decrease
during
the
colder
months,
so
I
think
that's
that
that
point
is
there.
You
had
said
that
the
that
these
officers
are
meant
to
prevent
violent
crime.
What
exactly
will
they
be
doing
during
these
12
midshifts
midwatch
ships.
T
Madam
chair
to
customer
cunningham,
so
this
is
really
about
also
looking
at
the
data
making
sure
that
our
minneapolis
liaisons
are
giving
them
the
areas
in
which
we're
experiencing
violent
crime
throughout
our
city.
T
That
may
mean,
if
there's
information
as
to
a
pattern
of
car
jacking
suspects
in
in
certain
neighborhoods,
to
focus
on
those
neighborhoods
if
we
are
seeing
through
shot
spotter
activations,
an
increase
of
shootings
in
a
particular
neighborhood,
whether
that
be
central,
neighborhood
or
jordan,
neighborhood,
making
sure
that
we
have
resources
there
to
help
respond
to
that.
Coordinating
with
our
camera
technology
as
well.
T
And
so
again
it
will
be
really
looking
at
where,
throughout
the
city,
that
data
is
telling
us
where
we're
experiencing
some
of
this
and
how
we
can,
through
that
really
focused
enforcement.
How
we
can
really
try
to
do
our
best
to
prevent
and
mitigate
some
of
the
violent
crime
that
we've
been
seeing
this
year.
J
T
Again,
because
we
haven't
gotten
into
the
weeds
of
in
terms
of
all
this
logistically,
but
I
actually
could
see
it
as
a
hybrid,
for
example.
If
in
fact,
metro
transit
police
were
to
be
a
partner
in
this
under
chief
razelle's
leadership,
they
have
done
a
wonderful
job,
at
least
focusing
on
those
public
transportation
hubs
and
corridors
throughout
our
city
and-
and
some
of
those
have
been
extensions.
T
Unfortunately,
in
some
neighborhoods,
where
violent
crime
has
occurred
in
and
around
maine
public
transportation
corridors,
so
that
may
that
could
consist
of
a
detailed
focus
enforcement
or
it
could
also
as
they're
working
throughout
our
city
and
certainly
on
our
same
radio
channel.
Picking
up
calls
for
some
of
those
same
areas,
whether
chicago
and
franklin
or
broadway,
and
lindell,
and
and
providing
another
response
and
helping
those
precincts
out
that
may
be
oversaturated
or
overloaded
with
the
volume
of
911
calls
that
they're
dealing
with.
J
Yeah,
I
mean
I'll
just
say
for
ward
4,
where
which
falls
within
the
fourth
precinct,
where
I
would
imagine,
some
of
these
resources
would
be
allocated
that
we
don't
see
a
particular
concentration
of
violent
crime
happening
around
transit,
it's
tucked
into
neighborhoods.
So
so
I
think
that
that's
like
so
when
we
think
about
how
we
actually
have
them
out
in
community,
how
like?
How
are
they
actually
doing
enforcement
like?
Are
they
patrolling
by
driving
around
like
what
is
driving
their
behavior?
J
T
Yes,
madam
chair
to
customer
cunningham,
so
I
all
of
us,
I'm
sure,
on
the
call
knows
that
metro,
transit
police
department,
for
example,
they've
continued
for
years
to
help,
keep
our
city
and
our
public
transportation
hub,
safe
and
they're
doing
that
right
now,
as
we
speak,
and
they
continue
to
do
that,
some
of
that
work
that
they
do
is
through
being
dispatched
to
to
calls
throughout
the
city
throughout
our
city
to
help
us
with
with
issues
and
crime
that
occurs
and
around
those
public
transportation
hubs.
T
So
if,
in
fact,
there
is
a
situation
that
might
be
occurring
with
a
gun,
violence
or,
for
example,
situation
around
merwin's
liquor,
we
could
utilize
in
and
create
details
specifically
to
address
gun,
violence
or
or
assaults
that
may
be
occurring
in
certain
parts
of
the
neighborhood.
Again.
We
would
have
this
resource
to
focus
on
that,
while
the
minneapolis
police
department,
our
men
and
women,
are
responding
to
those
typical
or
traditional
911
calls,
this
would
be
an
added
body
that
could
help
us
focus
on
some
of
those.
T
We
have
a
gun
response
unit,
who's
identified
individuals
in
our
communities
who
are
causing
harm
using
guns
to
to
to
shoot
at
in
neighborhoods
shoot
at
homes
and
individuals,
and-
and
this
would
be
an
extra
added
resource
that
we
could
have
through
the
data.
And
that's
what
I
mean.
The
intelligence
focused
data
that
they
could
be
utilizing
to
help
coordinate
details
throughout
our
city
to
to
bring
some
of
those
folks
to
be
held
accountable.
J
I'm
glad
that
the
that
the
gun
violence
unit
that
they
have
that
that
information
and
I
hope
that
they
will
pass
it
along
to
the
folks
who
are
leading
the
the
enhanced
gvi
work.
Do
you
know
what
the
progress
is
actually
on
that
staff
direction
related
to
the
targeted
enforcement
through
the
enhanced
gvi
work,
because
that's
very
specific
to
gun
violence?
J
And
so
I'm
curious
as
to
the
progress
from
mpd
side
of
things.
T
J
So
the
the
conversations
that
that
you
have
been
a
part
of
around
the
northside
gun
intervention
that
we
had
talked
about,
which
is
the
enhanced
gbi
and
the
role
of
mpd
within
that.
I
am
curious
about
the
progress
of
mpd's
role
within
that,
namely
around
the
data
components
and
what
the
plan
is
for
targeted
enforcement.
T
Madam
chair
to
customer
cunningham,
my
last
conversations
with
our
team
specifically
and
deputy
chief
fors,
who
oversees
sees
the
the
gun
response
unit
team,
is
that
they
are
still
out
there.
They're
still
working
they're
still
with
the
data
they're
still
focusing
on
those
individuals,
they're
continuing
to
make
arrests,
they're
continuing
to
make
gun
recoveries,
and
so
that
that
work
has
not
has
not
stopped
so
in
terms
of
status.
T
It
continues
to
be
ongoing
and
we
can
certainly
get
you
in
terms
of
gun
recoveries,
arrests,
prosecutions
working
with
both
our
federal
agencies
in
terms
of
holding
those
folks
accountable
for
federal
gun
crimes
as
well.
So
I
know
that
that
work
has
not
stopped
so
that
that
status
continues
to
be
ongoing.
J
Yes,
which
I'm
I'm
glad
to
hear,
but
that's
not
related
to
specifically
the
strategy
that
and
the
intervention
that,
like
it's
supposed
to
be
coordinated
with
the
office
of
violence
prevention,
the
north
side
promise
zone
like
they're
like
it,
it's
supposed
to
be
coordinated
and
it
cannot
be
coordinated
if
that
data
is
not
being
shared
and
if
it's
not
being
prioritized.
J
So
I
think
that
one
of
the
challenges
that
I
have
is
like
here
is
an
explicit
priority
around
and
strategy.
That
is
evidence-based,
that
we
have
worked
on
together
and
identified
as
a
pathway
forward
to
targeting
gun
violence,
intervention
in
a
coordinated,
both
and
kind
of
way,
and
we
cannot
move
forward
because
the
data
has
not
been
made
available
to
the
partners,
and
so
it's
like
that
slows
down
the
entire
process.
That
just
makes
me
from
from
my
perspective
as
a
policy
maker.
J
Who's
really
been
digging
into
this
work,
it's
hard
for
me
to
say:
yes,
let's
go
and
put
more
resources
into
like
this
broader
strategy,
casting
a
wider
net
hoping
to
be
able
to
get
to
the
issue
when
we
have
a
strategy
that
had
the
city
council
has
passed
as
a
pathway
forward
to
wrap
resources
around,
and
so
I
I
think
that
we
need
to
be
still
prioritizing
that,
given
that
that
was
something
that
the
city
council
had
passed
and
then
the
last
question
that
I
have
is
what's
the
plan
for
january
1st,
given
that
this
contract
would
be
from
november
15
to
december
31st,
what
what
would
you
say
is
the
plan
beyond
that
like
are?
J
We
gonna
have
to
keep
coming
back
for
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
every
month
and
a
half,
or
until
I
recruit
classes
through
like
what?
What
do
you
see
as
the
plan
as
of
january?
First.
T
Yes,
madam
chair
to
customer
cunningham,
so
I
will
follow
back
up
or
I'll
have
dc
force,
follow
back
up
with
you
regarding
the
the
status
of
the
data
that
you're
seeking
and
so
I'll
make
sure
that
you
get
some
follow-up
to
that.
I
also
just
want
to
say
too
that
we
don't
the
minneapolis
department.
We
don't
cast
wide
nets
or
big
nets.
T
We
cast
specific
tailored
strategies
for
for
people
and
that's
why
data
is
so
important
the
days
of
casting
wide
nets
and
and
if
you
get
200
people
hoping
you
get
two
with
with
crimes,
that's
not
the
way
in
direction
that
we
go.
T
We
rely
heavily
upon
our
analysts
and
our
folks
out
there
who
are
investigators
who
are
know
that
those
communities
who
know
the
individuals
who
are
committing
those
crimes,
and
so
that
is
not
a
direction
that
we
go
to
is
casting
a
wide
net
and
we
again
we
can
continue
to
do
transformational
change
and,
at
the
same
time,
focus
on
reducing
crime
in
our
communities.
The
in
terms
of
the
contract
or
the
the
funding
that
we're
looking
for
it
would
be
two
pieces.
T
One
would
be
to
get
us
to
the
end
of
this
year
and
then
the
next
would
be
to
come
and
discuss
what
2021
would
look
like
with
the
reduction
in
our
resources
even
with.
If
the
proposed
three
classes
were
to
go
through
for
2021,
we
would
not
see
a
dividend
of
those
until
the
end
of
the
year,
and
even
with
that
said,
we
would
still
be
operating
at
a
deficit.
So
my
hope
is
that
we
would
be
able
to
continue
to
use
this
mutual
aid
resources
throughout
2021.
J
I'm
sorry,
madam
vice
president,
if
I
may
ask
a
quick
follow-up
question:
if,
if
that's
the
case,
are
these
contracted
officers,
would
they
be
subjected
to
our
discipline
process
or
get
any
sort
of
training
related
to
our
policies
like?
Will
there
be
and
yeah
like?
Would
that
be
the
case
and
do
you
plan
to
come
back
with
the
contract
once
you
negotiate?
That,
or
is
this
authorizing
the
contract
preemptively.
T
Madam
chair
to
council
member
cunningham,
so
these
agencies
again
under
a
mutual
aid
agreement,
it
does
not
abdicate
their
own
department's
policies
and
and
procedures.
T
There's
certain
rules
and
and
standards
of
conduct
that
are
that
are
expected
in
these
agencies,
as
licensed
peace
officers,
have
to
adhere
to
so
for
that
example.
If
a
community
member
during
one
of
these
joint
enforcement
teams
details
experiences
a
an
officer
who's,
not
part
of
the
minneapolis
police
department,
they
feel
they
are
violating
their
rights
or
have
committed
some
egregious
misconduct.
T
They
absolutely
have
the
right
to
take
that
to
their
to
that
agency's
supervisors
and
and
file
a
formal
complaint
in
terms
of
of
the
process
of
taking
or
advancing
contracts
through
this
process.
That
is
something
that
obviously,
I
believe
the
the
elected
officials
and
our
city
attorneys
would
have
to
to
have
that
discussion.
I'm
trying
to
again
recall
back
in
2014
how
that
process
was
a
little
bit
different,
because
again
it
was
more
through
the
summer
months.
T
It
was
just
a
contract
that
was
based
just
from
june
1st
to
august
31st.
So
it
was
a
one-time
once
a
year
type
of
contract,
and
so
this
would
be
the
first
time
asking
for
these
resources
to
extend
this
pass
this
year
into
next.
L
Year,
with
your
permission,
may
I
answer
that
a
little
bit
as
well.
B
Yes,
mr
mcpherson,
please
respond.
L
Committee,
chair
and
council
member
cunningham,
this
rca,
that's
in
front
of
you-
is
two
things
that
is
an
appropriation
and
it
is
also
a
resolution,
and
it
is
also
a
request
to
contract
with
the
two
entities.
The
two
agencies
who
have
expressed
interest
in
providing
officers
for
us.
The
contract
itself
is
for
45
days.
It
is
it
ends
as
of
december
31st,
so
anything
that
was
going
into
2021
would
require
an
additional
rca
coming
through,
specifically
for
2021.
C
J
L
That
is
correct
and
regarding
the
the
liability
and
things
like
that,
the
liability
on
here
is
similar
to
the
past
jet
agreement,
which
means
that
basically
for
workers,
comp
and
liability
itself,
the
entities,
the
the
home
entities
so
to
speak,
are
responsible
for
their
liability.
L
We
have
been
working,
I'm
sorry,
I'm
going
to
add
a
little
bit
to
this.
We
have
been
working
with
the
city
attorney's
office
already,
we
do
have
a
draft
contract
and
we
are
actually
final
trying
to
finalize
that,
but
it
obviously
depends
on
what
happened.
You
know
within
council
itself.
G
Certainly
please
thank
you.
Eric
nilsson
deputy
city
attorney
civil
division,
yet
in
terms
of
process,
as
with
all
of
our
contracts,
the
actual
contract
itself
does
not
come
before
the
council
for
approval.
G
Your
your
authorization
is
to
the
the
proper
city
officers
to
enter
into
the
contract
and
to
effectuate
any
documents
necessary
to
effectuate
the
agreement
and
the
rca
calls
out
the
the
primary
deal
points.
So,
in
usual
fashion,
that's
usually
the
cost,
the
total
cost,
and
so
that's
also
why
there.
There
is
the
the
appropriation
resolution
here,
echoing
robin
mcpherson's
point,
the
past
precedent
in
terms
of
mutual
aid
agreements
and
joint
powers
agreements
is
that
the
reporting
jurisdictions
all
reporting
jurisdictions
assume
their
own
liability
and
defense
and
identification.
G
Of
course,
that's
subject
negotiation,
but
that's
always
been
our
our
our
position
and,
in
fact,
the
joint
powers
state
statute.
That
is
the
default
position,
so
it
the
state
statute,
is
minnesota,
statutes,
471.59
and
it
specifically
references
that
the
participating
governmental
units
or
excuse
me
a
a
government
governmental
unit
that
participates
in
a
joint
powers.
Enterprise
is
not
liable
for
the
acts
or
missions
of
another
unit
participating
in
the
venture
unless
they've
agreed
to
that
in
writing.
G
B
Thank
you,
mr
nielsen.
Are
there
any
questions
for
city
attorney,
nelson.
B
M
Thank
you,
chair
jenkins,
and
just
to
put
a
little
finer
point
on
the
discussion
that
we've
been
having
with
councilmember
cunningham
and
with
the
city
attorney.
It's
my
understanding
that
if
this
was
happening
within
the
funds
available
that
we've
already
made
available
to
the
minneapolis
police
department
that
they
would
not
need
our
authorization
for
this,
that,
in
fact,
these
mutual
aid
agreements
exist
that
there's
collaboration.
That
happens
all
the
time.
M
We've
seen
some
actually
good
examples
of
it
lately
in
relationship
to
the
sheriff
and
state
troopers
working
together
with
mpd
around
drag
racing,
for
example.
So
we
know
that
this
kind
of
mutual
aid
and
collaboration
happens.
I
I
believe
it's
authorized.
I
don't
actually
think
it's
a
bad
idea
to
contract
for
some
of
the
services
that
we've
authorized
mpd
to
perform.
M
In
fact,
I've
publicly
speculated
that
maybe
we
should
contract
all
of
our
patrol
function
to
another
agency
so
that
we
can
get
a
fresh
start
given
some
of
the
challenges
that
we've
observed
with
the
federation
contract
and
and
with
this
department.
So
I
I
I'm
not
opposed
to
contracting
as
an
arrangement,
and
I
do
take
very
seriously
the
rising
violent
crime
that
the
chief
referred
to.
M
It's
very
important
to
acknowledge
that
the
level
of
gun
violence,
in
particular
in
the
city
is
unacceptable
and
we
have
a
history
of
a
form
of
structural
racism
and
our
policing
that
we've
heard
loud
and
clear
from
the
community
is
both
over
policing
and
under
policing.
Right
that
we
have
both
seen
over
targeting
over
harassment
over
arrests
in
communities
of
color
and
also
seeing
an
underresponsiveness.
So
I
take
that
seriously
and
I
recognize
that
we
need
to
be
thinking
about
both
of
those
things.
M
What
I'm
concerned
about
is
the
the
strategy
seems
to
be
to
add
to
patrol
and
in
fact
it
seems
to
be
to
just
boost
patrol
by
about
five
percent.
So
we're
going
to
take
a
thing
that
has
not
been
working
very.
D
M
And
has
not
been
addressing.
Carjackings
has
not
been
addressing
the
rise
in
violent
crime,
with
any
particular
effectiveness
or
strategy
and
say
if
we
just
do
five
percent
more
of
it,
that'll
get
us
to
a
a
better
place,
and
then
I'm
I'm
struggling
to
get
my
head
around.
Why
that's
a
good
idea,
but
in
recognition
of
the
fact
that
this
would
be
something
that
is
authorized
if
it
is
within
the
mpd
budget,
we
should
really
probably
focus
on
the
budget.
M
Ask
we
should
really
probably
focus
on
the
budget
and
on
the
question
of,
are
we
going
to
increase
the
minneapolis
police
department's
budget
by
half
a
million
dollars
today
on
very
short
notice,
without
a
lot
of
information
being
given
to
us
about?
What's
actually
going
to
happen
with
that,
and
I
have
to
say
I.
M
I
know
that
the
easy
answer
for
that
is
that
we
have
a
police
federation
contract
that
seems
to
allow
an
unlimited
number
of
people
to
take
an
unlimited
amount
of
leave
for
unlimited
amount
of
time
and
so
I'll
I'll
pause
it
I'll
sort
of
editorialize
here,
along
with
I
imagine
several
of
my
colleagues
and
and
maybe
many
nmpd
administration,
that
the
police
federation
contract,
as
currently
written
as
a
threat
to
public
safety,
is
a
major
major
barrier
to
us
actually
providing
public
safety,
and
I
think,
that's
important
to
acknowledge.
M
I
do,
though,
have
a
really
hard
time,
even
with
those
constraints,
understanding
how
a
police
department
with
the
highest
funding
it
has
ever
had
at
185
million
dollars,
even
after
the
mid-year
cuts
and
the
lowest
staffing
level.
It's
had
because
of
attrition
in
many
many
years
somehow
has
spent
through
its
entire
budget,
and
that
feels
like
have
we
let
have
we
mismanaged
overtime
so
much
that
it's
just
eaten
the
whole
budget
or
is
there
some
other
explanation
for?
M
What's
going
on,
we
didn't
run
a
recruit
class
that
we
paid
for
there's
all
kinds
of
things
that
we
paid.
For.
We've
closed
down
many
many
units
that
you
used
to
provide
all
kinds
of
services
that
we're
just
not
even
trying
to
provide
anymore
and
somehow,
with
all
of
that
loss
of
output,
with
all
of
that
loss
of
outcome
that
we're
experiencing
we've
still
got
185
million
dollars
going
into
the
department
and
this
department's
coming
to
us
a
month
before
we
pass
a
budget
and
asking
for
an
extra
half
million
bucks.
M
And
if
we
do
this,
it's
going
to
make
it
that
much
harder
for
us
to
find
any
of
the
things
anybody's.
Looking
for
in
the
budget,
whether
that's
mental
health
response,
whether
that's
any
of
the
great
stuff
that
people
are
talking
about
in
violence
prevention,
whether
that's
the
additional
policing
that
apparently
the
chief
is
going
to
come
to
us
for
so
I
just
want
to
name
that,
like
spending
down
the
contingency
right
now
feels
really
really
ill-advised
and
challenging.
M
But
I
really
would
like
to
achieve
to
give
us
a
clearer
and
more
detailed
answer,
and-
and
maybe
this
needs
to
be
in
writing
later.
Maybe
it's
not
actually
something
that
you
can
provide
on
the
podium
here.
But
but
if
there's
on
the
virtual
podium,
if,
but
if
we
can,
I
would
really
like
a
better
answer
about
where
the
185
million
dollars
has
gone,
because
it
just
seems
like
it
didn't
go
into
producing
the
outcomes
that
we
would
have
expected.
T
Madam
chair
to
councilmember
fletcher,
so
let
me
let
me
start
by
by
saying
this
here,
whether
it's
185
million
budget
or
a
585
million
dollar
budget.
T
I
have
74
people
who
are
no
longer
alive
in
this
city,
because
they've
been
killed,
I've
got
almost
500
people,
who've
been
shot
and
wounded
in
this
city.
We
can
go
back
and
forth
on
the
185,
but
that
is
not
stopping
the
bloodshed
that
is
occurring
every
day
in
our
city,
and
so
we
can
go
back
and
forth
on
this,
but
every
day
that
we
go
back
and
forth
on
this
people
are
dying
in
our
city,
and
so
I'm
asking
the
council
to
look
within
themselves.
T
We
can
have
this
conversation
about
both
and
we
can
talk
about
reimagining
policing,
I'm
talking
about
what
is
necessary
today
in
this
city
and
we
need
extra
resources,
and
so
I
know
that
185
million
dollar
budget
about
director
mcpherson
our
finance
instructors
on
the
line.
Now
I
know
that
at
least
90
percent
of
that
is
salaries,
wages
and
benefits.
So
it's
not
like
I'm
sitting
on
a
treasure
chest
of
an
exuberant
amount
of
money.
That's
that's
not
being
utilized.
This
city
is
experiencing
unprecedented
crime,
councilmember
fletcher!
T
If
you
have
a
suggestion
of
how
to
do
it
better,
please
let
me
know
I've
been
doing
this
job
for
three
decades.
I'm
coming
to
you
saying
that
we
need
this
extra
resources.
If
you
choose-
and
you
have
every
right
to,
if
you
choose
to
say
no
to
these
victims
of
crime,
then
please
stand
by
that.
I'm
saying
we
need
more
resources
today
and
right
now.
M
M
What
what
is
the
actual
strategy,
if
we're
talking
about
adding
patrol
like
if
what's
happening,
is
we're
adding
patrol
and
we're
adding
we're
increasing
our
patrol
by
about
five
percent
based
on
the
last
numbers
you've
given
us
about
what
our
patrol
levels
are,
how
does
that
actually
address
the
problem?
We've
got
miles
and
miles
and
miles
of
public
realm
to
police.
M
I
know
we
can
use
data
to
put
people
in
in
some
proximity
to
where
we're
going,
but
this
doesn't
sound
like
the
kind
of
targeted
strategy
that
we've
been
asking
for
we've
been
asking
for
a
long
time.
What
is
the
strategy?
How
are
we
targeting?
How
are
we
actually
getting
to
disrupt
the
actual
patterns
of
violence
that
are
happening?
How
have
we
not
been
successful
in
apprehending
a
small
group
of
people
who
are
committing
crime
after
crime
of
crime?
M
When
we
see
these
carjackings
and
when
we
see
this
stuff
happening
and
and
it
is,
it
is
challenging
to
us
to
have
a
budget
request
that
doesn't
that
doesn't
feel
like
it
addresses
the
issues
that
we've
been
raising.
So
I
I'd
really
ask
you,
then,
if,
if
you're
saying
these
are
the
resources,
you
need
show
your
work
a
little.
What
what's
going
on
like
what?
What's
the
plan
to
use
these
resources
to
actually
disrupt
the
actual
patterns
of
crime
that
that
we're
seeing.
T
Madam
chair,
can
you
hear
me
councilman
fletcher
to
your
question,
so
the
police
department
is
part
of
an
ecosystem.
We
are
one
part
of
a
system
of
public
safety.
I'll
give
you
an
example.
Just
the
other
day,
the
men
and
women
of
the
minneapolis
police
department
stopped
some
individuals
who
had
been
in
a
stolen
car,
and
one
of
those
individuals
had
had
eight
offenses
eight
criminal
offenses,
and
they
were
out
on
the
street
again.
T
Our
folks
are
arresting
people
they're,
holding
people
accountable,
they're,
taking
felons
in
possession
of
guns
and
they're
bringing
them
to
jail.
Those
folks
are
going
to
the
court
systems
they're
back
out
in
our
communities
and
by
the
way,
if
you
ask
community
members,
they
will
tell
you
the
same.
We
are
part
of
an
ecosystem
if
we,
this
narrative,
that
we
as
a
police
department,
are
going
to
where
the
sole
responsibility
of
of
this
broad
criminal
justice
system.
That's
a
misinformed
narrative.
T
I
and
I
I'm
right
now-
I'm
not
going
to
go
into
an
exact
strategy,
and,
quite
frankly,
I'm
here
asking
for
the
offer.
Okay,
we
have
not
signed
any
agreements,
yet
we
I
will
work
on
strategies.
I
have
qualified,
capable
leadership
teams
that
work
on
strategies.
We
will
do
that,
but
but
to
to
say
that
we
have
not
shown
our
weight
in
terms
of
trying
in
terms
of
our
lane
of
trying
to
keep
this
city
safe.
That
is
false.
T
We
have
recovered
more
guns
in
this
city
and
we'll
have
a
record
number
of
guns
this
year.
Our
gun
response
unit
is
charging
people
they're,
taking
them
to
court
they're
working
with
their
federal
partners
to
hold
them
for
for
felony
crimes.
But
again
we
are
part
of
an
ecosystem
and
we
need
all
partners
to
step
up
and
hold
our
community
members
who
are
harming
our
communities
accountable,
and
so
this
is
not
the
the
platform.
T
I
don't
believe
to
start
drilling
down
on
a
specific
strategy
that
we,
quite
frankly
haven't.
Even
this
hasn't
been
voted
on,
and
so,
but
I
have
qualified
capable
leadership
to
do
that,
but
we're
going
to
continue
to
do
that.
Our
men
and
women
are
showing
up
each
and
every
day,
as
they
have
this
year,
rushing
into
harm's
way
to
help
our
community
members
trying
to
deal
with
when
you
have
over
500
people
shot
and
wounded
that
drains
resources.
T
We
are
not
at
the
same
capacity
in
terms
of
personnel
that
we
were
last
year
and
so
again
we
need
these
resources.
But
to
say
you
know,
because
you
feel
that
you
haven't
seen
the
satisfaction
that
you
like
in
this
and
just
to
throw
in
the
towel.
I'm
not
going
to
do
that.
Our
community
relies
upon
me
as
chief
to
keep
them
safe,
and
so
I
will
keep
fighting
for
them,
and
so
that
is
my
position
and
that's
where
I
stand.
H
H
So
I
want
to
be
able
to
hear
from
my
colleagues
about
this
specific
approach
as
we're
having
this
discussion
and
having
this
come
up
and
me
learning
about
it
from
the
media
I
think
last
night
and
and
not
having
much
time
to
prepare
for
it,
and
it
does
look
and
it
sounds
like
some
people
have
had
a
lot
of
time
to
prepare
for
this.
So
I
understand
a
lot
of
you
might
be
way
ahead
of
it
and
than
me,
but
I
am
struck
that
this
isn't
in
the
right
committee
for
this.
H
This
should
be
a
public
safety.
We
should
have
an
opportunity
to
review
it
there.
In
fact,
when
we
just
pass
something
in
public
safety.
That
feels
a
lot
like
this.
There
was
a
really
clear
staff
direction
and
we
were
going
to
be
focusing
on.
You
know
the
promise
zone
in
north
minneapolis
and
we
were
going
to
be
looking
at
our
group
violence
interruption.
H
Then
the
staff
direction
beautifully
outlines
who
will
be
at
the
table
there,
and
it
includes
the
police
department
with
a
very
strong
presence
there
and
it's
a
collaborative
effort
with
the
office
of
violence,
prevention,
minneapolis,
police
department,
relevant
hennepin,
county
agencies.
I
assume
the
sheriff
and
national
local
experts,
as
well
as
north
side
street
outreach
teams,
community
leaders
and
service
providers
to
enhance
our
group
violence
intervention
strategy
with
a
particular
focus
on
data
driven
street
outreach,
engagement
and
social
services,
with
highly
talented
law
enforcement
for
individuals
who
remain
violent.
H
H
It
also
might
make
a
lot
of
sense
for
this
to
go
through
the
budget
process.
What
I'm
actually
hearing
the
chief
saying
is
that-
and
I
believe,
I'm
hearing,
I
also
remember
masano-
say
we're
already.
H
Obviously,
gonna
be
dipping
in
pretty
extensively
into
our
contingency
funds
just
to
cover
the
over
over
expenses
on
the
police
department
already,
and
so
maybe
we
need
to
regroup
and
put
this
in
the
budget
for
next
year,
because
I
think
the
intention
here
is
obviously
that
not
only
would
this
kind
of
partnership
be
operating
when
we're
moving
into
the
coldest
and
slowest
months
of
the
year
as
we're
ending
this
year,
but
we're
also
going
to
want
to
keep
it
going
all
of
next
year,
at
least
until
we
have
more
cadets,
I'm
not
going
to
necessarily
move
referral
back
to
committee
I'll
just
announce
that
I
think
I
would
support
that
motion
seems
like
it
could
be
a
really
good
idea
and
we
could
have
some
deeper
discussion.
H
I
also
want
to
invite
my
colleagues
who've
been
quiet
on
this
right
now
and
and
feel
that
this
is
something
that
they
may
need,
especially
in
their
awards.
H
W
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
think
we
all
understand
that
public
safety
is
a
real
concern
in
our
communities,
especially
in
ward.
Six.
We
are
experiencing
violence
crimes,
carjacking
people
are
afraid
businesses
are
afraid
to
open
their
doors,
especially
on
chicago
and
franklin.
So
the
question
is:
what
are
we
doing
about
it?
You
know
we
can
talk
about
the
long-term
public
safety
plan,
but
I
we
need
answers
right
now,
I'm
getting
calls
text
messages
and
so
on,
coming
in
within
three
months
from
a
campaign.
W
That's
all
I
hear
the
public
safety
concern
is
number
one.
Concerning
ward
six
people
are
demanding
people
that
we
put
to
take
care
of
our
safety,
which
is
the
chief
and
the
police
to
come
in
and
help
help
them
out.
W
So
I'm
looking
at
this
and
really
trying
to
figure
out
that
as
the
leaders
of
our
city,
we
have
a
responsibility.
We
just
have
to
find
a
way
to
find
a
solution.
W
What's
going
on
right
now,
we
can
all
talk
about
planning
in
the
future
what
the
public
safety
will
look
like
and
so
on,
but
as
the
chief
bullet,
our
city's
bleeding,
which
is
kind
of
says,
is
it
all
for
all
of
us,
and
I
I'm
really
asking
our
leaders
to
respond
to
our
resident
request,
the
business
owners
that
are
contacting
me
and
that
are
worried
about
continuing
their
businesses
because
of
all
the
other
things
that
are
going
on
in
their
lives
dealing
with
covet
and
now
they
are
worried
about
their
safety
and
if
they
want
to
continue
even
living
here
or
continue
even
having
their
businesses
in
in
our
city
in
our
world.
W
So
I
just
want
to
put
that
comment
that
the
concern
is
there.
Safety
concern
is
there
and
the
residents
are
demanding
actions
from
the
chief
and
the
leaders
of
the
city.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you,
council
member
council,
member
ellison.
Q
Thank
you,
madam
president,
I
wanted
to
start
off
just
by
saying
everybody
here
has
a
deep
concern
about
public
safety
right.
I
think
that
the
that
there
that
there
appears
to
be
a
framing
of
you,
you
either
think
that
the
issue
is
bad
enough
or
you
don't,
and
every
single
one
of
my
colleagues
knows
that
if
that's
how
you're
framing
the
argument,
that's
so
full
of
bs
and
that
is
so
insincere
and
I'll
call
it
out.
Q
Anybody
on
this
on
this
council
who
wants
to
act
like
the
conversation
is,
who
cares
and
who
doesn't
it's
totally
insincere,
100,
insincere
and
I'll
call
it
out
and
I'll
call
I'll
put
my
name
back
in
queue
and
call
it
out.
The
conversation
is
with
with
over
70
homicides
in
our
city.
Q
Q
If
you
care
put
your
money
here,
we
don't
have
to
prove
anything
but,
as
you
said,
chief
over
70
people
are
dead,
so
you
want
to
talk
about
satisfaction
according
to
you,
184
million
dollars
of
the
people's
money
down
the
drain
over
70
people
dead
and
you're.
Asking
about
satisfaction.
Of
course,
I'm
not
satisfied.
I
don't
think
steve's
satisfied.
Q
Q
No
strategy,
no
planning
shut
up
and
pay
us.
That's
all
I'm
hearing
on
this
call.
That's
all
I'm
hearing
and
you
want
to
talk
about.
You
want
to
talk
about
being
focused
councilmember
cunningham
drafted
a
plan
brought
in
experts
both
locally
our
own
local
experts
and
national
experts.
We
have
a
plan
in
place,
but
we
don't
have
the
political
will
to
actually
pursue
it,
and
we
know
it
would
work
it's
working,
more
dangerous,
more
volatile
situations
in
other
cities.
It's
worked
here.
Q
Everybody
here
has
the
same
goal,
so
I
don't
want
to
hear
that
from
anybody
else
on
this
call.
The
question
is:
is
this
the
half
million
that
gets
us
over
and
all
I'm
hearing?
Is
we
don't
need
a
strategy?
We
don't
need
a
plan
shut
up
and
pass
I'm
sick
of
it
and
and
I'll
be
voting
no
on
this
proposal.
Until
I
can
understand
in
detail
how
this
half
million
versus
the
first
184
is
gonna
get
the
job
done.
T
Madam
chair
to
councilmember
ellison,
I
don't
believe
I've
ever
said
that
shut
up
and
pay
us,
and
I
don't
believe
I've
ever
said
that
there
won't
be
a
strategy
or
plan.
I
came
to
this
body
today
to
talk
about
the
need
for
resources.
T
We
haven't,
there's
nothing's
been
done,
nothing's
been
signed
off
or
anything,
and
so
I
just
want
to
reflect
that
for
the
record.
I've
never
said,
shut
up
and
pay
us
or
that
we
won't
have
a
strategy.
T
We
create
strategies
each
and
every
day
out
in
our
precincts,
in
our
investigative
divisions,
to
deal
with
aspects
of
of
violent
crime
and
on
behalf
of
those
victims
and
how
we
can
prevent
victims,
and
so
so
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
the
record
reflected
that.
E
Thanks
man,
I'm
sure
I'd
have
to
go
back
and
look
at
the
transcript,
but
this
chief,
your
response
to
council
member
fletcher's
questions
about
the
budget.
We're
pretty
pointed
so
if
your
intention
was
not
to
draw
some
sort
of
line
in
the
sand,
I'm
not
sure
you
know.
It
certainly
seemed
that
way
that
you
were
either
implying
or
saying
directly
that
if
you
don't
support
this,
you
don't
care
about
crime
or
violence,
which
I
think,
as
councilmember
elsin
very
eloquently
just
said
is,
is
really
deeply
offensive
to.
E
I
put
myself
back
in
queue
because
I
just
want
to
be
very
clear
that
I
mean
we've
heard
from
you
chief
we've
heard
from
the
inspectors.
This
money
isn't
going
to
stop
the
carjackings,
we
know
who
the
perpetrators
of
the
carjackings
are.
They
have
been
arrested
many
times
they
have
been
given
services
by
hennepin
county
those.
Those
interruptions
have
not
worked
to
date.
E
I
believe
councilmember
cunningham's
constituents
are
going
door
to
door
as
volunteers
in
their
own
time
talking
to
the
families
trying
to
support
them
to
try
to
find
some
way
to
both
support
the
12
and
13
and
14
year
olds,
who
are
involved
in
those
crimes.
But
this
money
isn't
going
to
stop
those
crimes
from
happening.
We
know
who
the
perpetrators
are.
E
They
have
been
arrested
many
times
they
are
in
the
system
and
the
system
isn't
working,
neither
to
support
them
and
their
families
nor
to
stop
the
crimes
from
happening,
and
so
I
think
when
you
hear
questions
from
us,
it
is
because
this
money
is
being
framed
as
a
solution
to
a
problem.
It
will
not
solve
and
it
isn't
our
idea
to
ask
these
questions.
We
get
these
questions
from
our
constituents
from
the
public,
who
is
paying
the
184
million
dollar
budget,
for
which,
apparently,
we
are
not
allowed
to
know
anything
about.
E
It
is
very
frustrating,
and
I
will
note
you
know
we
have
started
to
get
more
updates
the
most
I've
ever
seen
during
my
time
in
office,
more
transparency.
E
The
public
tells
us
to
do
that.
So
I
want
people
to
understand.
This
is
what
that
looks
like.
This
is
what
it
looks
like
to
use
a
budget
to
increase
transparency
and
accountability.
This
is
what
happens
when
we
ask
questions
of
our
police
department.
This
is
the
kind
of
response
we
get.
We
hear
there's
data
being
used
to
make
decisions,
but
no
one
has
seen
the
data
you
know
we're.
You
know
we're
we're
we're
being
sort
of
told
or
implied
that
if
you
ask
questions,
you
don't
care,
but
I
just
want
people
to
know.
E
The
very
opposite
is
true.
The
council
members
who
are
asking
these
questions
are
the
council
members
who
have
spent
countless
hours
meeting
with
their
precinct
inspectors
going
door-to-door
in
their
communities,
working
with
the
beat
officers
working
with
the
office
of
violence
prevention,
using
their
own
time
to
to
talk
with
folks
who
have
been
victims
of
crime,
convening
meetings
with
the
county,
trying
to
get
a
handle
on
what's
happening
with
the
juvenile
offenders.
E
These
are
the
council
members
who
are
putting
in
the
work
who
are
showing
up
day
after
day
they
are
going
to
keep
doing
it.
We
will
transform
our
system
of
public
safety
in
this
community
because
our
community
is
demanding
it.
This
is
just
one
vote
on
a
very
long
road.
It
is
not
as
consequential
as
the
debate
we
are
having,
which
is
about
much
more,
so
I
think,
no
matter
what
happens
here
today.
E
It
is
clear
the
direction
that
we
are
going
as
a
city,
but
it
is
frustrating
to
hear
that
you
know
the
response
to
the
questions
is:
is
a
sort
of
implication
that
we
shouldn't
be
asking
them
in
the
first
place.
T
Madam
chair
to
council
president
bender,
with
all
due
respect,
I
I
think
that
it's
deeply
offensive
that
you
characterize
my
statements
in
the
manner
that
you
did.
I
stand
by
my
statements.
T
I'm
trying
to
do
the
best
I
can
to
see
if
this
body
will
provide
some
resources
that
our
communities
desperately
need,
and
so
the
decision
ultimately
is
with
the
with
the
council,
but
I
will
continue
to
bring
forth
those
requests
and
the
sentiments
of
the
the
majority
of
many
politicians
that
I
have
been
in
conversation
with
in
all
four
sectors
of
our
of
our
city.
I
Thank
you,
madam
chair
chief
eredando.
I
I
In
january
we
had
about
874
75
sworn
officers,
and
as
of
last
week,
there
were
713,
that's
a
loss
of
154
people.
Some
of
them
have
left
because
they've
wanted
to
retire.
Others
felt
driven
out
by
the
way
they've
been
treated
by
elected
officials,
and
some
of
them
have
claimed
ptsd
and
are
gone
on
medical
leave,
but
most
of
them
were
still
paying
so
we're
in
a
situation
where
we
have
to
pay
for
people
who
are
on
medical
leave,
and
that
is
a
fact
it's
pretty
simple.
I
I
On
september
1st,
I
was
beaten,
robbed
and
carjacked
by
several
young
men
in
front
of
my
apartment,
building
in
your
ward.
Luckily,
neighbors
were
there
to
help
me.
It's
cost
me
thousands
of
dollars
in
medical
bills,
repairs
replacement,
I'm
scared
to
death
to
walk
out
on
the
street
or
walk
my
dogs.
I
Please
help
us
by
fighting
for
real
change
and
continuing
to
speak
out.
This
is
not
a
crime
perception
issue.
I
have
another
constituent
who
many
of
you
had
heard
was
violently
carjacked
assaulted
in
the
street
and
left
there
a
couple
of
weeks
ago
on
a
saturday
in
the
word
that
I
represent,
they
left
she.
I
don't
need
to
tell
you
all
the
whole
story,
but
the
long
and
short
of
it
is
her
phone
was
left
in
the
car
and
so
because
the
neighbors
were
able
to
call
9-1-1
fast
and
because
it
was
a
saturday
afternoon.
I
The
fourth
precinct
was
able
to
get
there
fairly
fast
and
track
her
car
down
on
the
north
side
and
arrest
four
people,
three
of
whom
were
let
out
that
following
monday
and
now
she's
afraid
they
have
her
wallet
her
computer,
her
phone.
They
know
where
she
lives
and
she's
now
afraid
to
leave
her
house.
I
So
this
is
not
a
perception
of
public
safety
issue.
Even
a
handful
of
more
officers
mean
calls
will
be
responded
to
faster.
Even
a
handful
of
more
officers
might
free
up
time
to
investigate
this.
Constituent
of
mine
has
been
now
without
her
everything
for
more
than
three
weeks,
and
there
are
16
cars
ahead
of
hers
to
be
fingerprinted.
I
She
can't
get
her
car
back
and
they
haven't
been
able
to
take
fingerprints,
so
she's
been
without
everything
she
needs
to
work
and
she's
waiting
for
someone
in
investigations
to
try
to
get
some
fingerprints
to
build
a
case.
We
are
short
staffed.
It
is
pretty
simple
870
down
to
713
sworn
officers
and
I'm
sure
the
chief
can
tell
us
that
the
713
really
represent
about
500
people
who
are
actually
doing
work
on
the
ground
on
a
daily
basis.
This
is
not
an
either
or
decision.
I
This
is
a
both
and
decision.
We
need
to
solve
the
systemic
problems
with
policing
in
our
community,
as
do
every
other
city
council
around
the
country.
We
need
to
develop
violence,
interruption
and
violence
prevention
plans.
We
need
to
stop
using
words
like
abolish
and
defund,
but
we
also
need
to
stop
using
words
like
reform,
we
probably
need
to
see
policing
a
completely
different
way,
but
until
then
life
goes
on
and
crime
is
committed
and
people
are
afraid
and
having
a
few
extra
feet
on
the
street
will
make
a
difference
to
a
whole
number
of
people.
I
So,
in
the
end,
this
action
passing
today
will
allow
the
chief
to
negotiate
with
these
other
agencies
and
have
people
on
the
ground
in
short
order.
Perhaps
within
a
week.
Any
kind
of
delay
in
discussion
is
just
simply
not
wanting
to
add
anything
to
the
police
department,
budget
and
people
who
want
to
do
that.
Have
that
opinion
are
entitled
to
their
opinion,
and
I
respect
it,
but
I
personally
think
that
we
can
do
both
things.
I
We
can
work
with
councilmember,
cunningham
and
others
on
violence,
prevention
and
an
eruption
at
the
same
time
that
we
adequately
have
enough
people
on
the
street.
We
do
not
have
those
people
on
the
street
right
now
and
I'll
note.
We
have
this
jet
program
downtown
right
now.
It's
so
interesting
that
we're
using
it
to
stop
drag
racing
right
now
we
have
the
metro,
transit
and
the
sheriff
on
their
own
detail.
Working
right
now
downtown
to
stop
drag
racing.
Thank
goodness
I
would
say
others
would
say
that
might
be
frivolous.
I
Why
is
that?
Okay
for
downtown,
but
not
okay,
for
hot
spots
in
other
areas
in
the
city,
I
can't
imagine
they're
going
to
want
to
be
working
with
us
for
free
for
a
long
period
of
time,
but
this
is
the
chief
has
brought
forward
as
a
solution
that
he
can
bring
up
now
and
I'm
kind
of
just
sad
that
we
don't
take
his
word
for
it
and
just
I'm
not
saying
we
should
just
let
the
chief
do
whatever
he
wants.
I
It
just
really
makes
me
sad
because
I've
worked
with
every
one
of
you
and
hold
you
all
in
high
regard
and
wish
that
we
could
come
together
even
on
really
controversial
decisions.
We
did
all
vote
just
recently
for
a
motion
staff
direction
by
council
member
cunningham.
We
have
voted
for
taking
money
out
of
the
police
department
to
put
it
into
violence
interruption.
I
personally
have
voted
to
move
money
from
the
police
department
to
other
entities.
I
I
So
this
is
one
solution
we
can
bring
forward
and
there
might
be
others,
and
hopefully
we
can
all
quite
frankly,
grow
up
and
stop
arguing
with
each
other
and
try
to
have
a
respectful
conversation
about
how
to
how
to
respect
our
professional
staff.
This
isn't
the
only
staff
member
who
is
treated
like
this
publicly
and
privately.
I
hope
this
is
one
of
the
last
times
that
this
kind
of
thing
happens
amongst
this
body.
Quite
frankly,
it's
embarrassing.
A
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
I
think
we
do
need
to
talk
about
the
the
both
and
because
I
think
that
one
part
of
that
is
has
been
completely
missing.
I
think
that
councilmember
cunningham
was
was
a
is
a
good
point
to
bring
up.
You
know
on
the
accountability.
You
know
it
is
this
isn't
just
about.
You
know
more
police,
less
police.
It
is
about
the
accountability
of
mpd.
A
It's
been
almost
six
months
since
officer
chauvin
from
the
third
precinct
put
his
knee
on
the
neck
of
george
floyd,
like
that
is
where
how
we
got
into
a
lot
of
this
there's
been
other
crises
that
have
all
come
into
into
it,
but
we
need
to
talk
about
what
we
felt
at
that
moment.
It
was
completely
obvious
that
our
mpd
had
a
long
way
to
go,
and
this
is
work
that
the
chief's
done
for
years.
This
is
work
that
previous
mayors
have
done
for
years,
and
yet
we
had
to.
A
We
witnessed
that
horrific
act
at
the
end
of
may,
and
so
when
we're
talking
about
the
both-
and
you
know
I
want
to
hear
about
how
discipline
is
going,
I
want
to
hear
about
how
we
are
ahead
of
what
the
mini
minneapolis,
minnesota
department
of
human
rights
is
trying
to
to
get
us
to
do
like.
Well,
I
met
with
them
with
the
chief
earlier
this
year
to
talk
about.
You
know
how
were
you
proactively
going
after
bad
behavior?
We
had.
A
You
know
multiple
documented
cases
of
officers,
just
breaking
policy
with
peaceful
protesters,
and
we've
continued
to
see
that
behavior
and
what
we're
not
seeing
is
a
public
reaction.
What
we
do
see
is
when
the
police
union
gets
mad,
we
see
leadership,
get
demoted
the
next
day,
and
so
it's
it's
that
kind
of
message
that
the
public
is
seeing
where
they're
just
not
seeing
the
ant
they're,
not
seeing
the
reforms
that
everybody
is
talking
about,
supporting
and
continuing
to
talk
about,
supporting
they're,
not
seeing
those
actions
and
to
talk
about
giving
more
money
to
that
department.
A
A
department,
that's
seen
two
people
killed
within
three
years.
It
is
a
really
serious
question
and
really
needs
a
lot
more
backing
up,
and
so
I
I
know
that
I've
been
asking
for
a
strategy
and
for
data
since
the
beginning
of
the
summer-
and
that's
that's
not
to
you,
know,
say
people
are
it's
not
to
question
people's
job?
It's
because
that's
what
my
constituents
are
asking
for.
They
want
to
help.
A
They
want
to
know
they
want
to
know,
get
to
the
bottom
of
like
what
is
the
issue
and
and
that's
something
that
city
council
we
do.
We
do
not
have
the
information
we
do
not
have
not
gotten
the
data.
We
have
not
gotten
a
strategy,
it's
very
difficult
to
make
these
decision
decisions
about
it.
It's
such
a
critically
important
area
when
we
don't
have
that
data
and
it
isn't
for
lack
of
asking.
We
have
not
gotten
it
and
so
it
for
me.
This
really
comes
down
to
do.
We
have
the
money
for
this.
A
You
know.
We've
heard
that
we
are
in
dire
like
very
bad
budget,
which
will
continue
with
covid.
We
do
not
know
our
financial
risk
for
next
year.
There
are
huge
question
marks
about
that,
and
then
we
have
this
proposal,
that's
coming
outside
of
the
budget
process,
while
the
budget
process
is
going
on,
this
will
only
take
us
through
december.
If
you
need
to
come
back
in
january,
I
expect
that
to
be
in
the
budget
process,
which
is
not
there
and
it
this
just.
It
has
a
this.
A
I
I
will
not
be
supporting
this
today.
There's
too
many
questions
for
this,
for
something
that
we
need
to
be
doing
better.
We
need
to
do
something
now.
I
I
appreciate
that
the
chief's
bringing
this
forward
I'm
happy
to
work
with
the
chief
on
more
of
these
issues.
I've
tried
to
meet
with
with
you
chief,
but
the
the
last
time
I've
asked
we
weren't
able
to
meet
you've
refused.
I
want
to
work
on
getting
some
strategies.
I
want
to
hear
this.
A
I
think
this
all
needs
to
be
public,
so
we
can
have
a
real
idea
of
where
our
public
safety
dollars
are
going
to
be
invested
and
how
they're
going
to
make
this
city
safer.
S
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Sorry,
I'm
just
recovering
from
some
of
the
comments
just
mentioned.
I
wanted
to
respond
a
little
bit
to
some
of
the
concerns.
My
colleagues
mentioned
council
member
cunningham
said
this
year
requires
unprecedented
accountability,
and
I
agree.
S
One
of
those
things
is
the
fact
that
this
money
isn't
going
into
mpd
we're
using
all
of
this
money
up
to
this
amount
of
money
to
pay
other
law
enforcement
to
conduct
law
enforcement
in
our
city,
but
one
of
the
questions
or
concerns
was
about
why
this
would
go
through
council.
This
is
a
request
for
council
action
from
our
mayor's
office
and
it's
it's
broad.
It's
broader
reaching
about
public
safety
than
than
being
just
specifically
in
mpd
or
in
what's
been
created
or
ovp.
S
Then
we've
had
a
lot
of
help
from
both
of
these
departments
in
doing
things
like
really
vet
out
the
racial
equity
analysis
as
to
why
this
makes
sense,
but
I
also
want
you
to
know.
I
spoke
extensively
with
our
budget
director
about
this
in
accordance
with
our
financial
policies
that
we
pass
in
every
budget
year.
S
Yes,
this
is
an
amendment
to
this
year's
budget.
The
reason
why
it
ends
on
december
31st
is
because
january
1st
starts
a
new
budget
year,
so
this
is
something
that
maybe,
to
some
extent
could
be
worked
into
the
mpad
budget,
or
we
could
make
that
budget
amendment
during
the
regular
council
process
here
in
december,
but
just
a
good
example
of
kind
of
when
we
decide
to
take
money
or
use
contingency
money
and
overspending
by
departments
would
be
our
deployment
of
contingency
money
to
something
like
elections.
A
couple
years
back.
S
We
are
legally
obligated
to
hold
elections.
We
knew
that
the
money
put
into
that
budget
was
not
going
to
help
us
do
that
in
the
best
way
possible,
and
we
said
we'll
go
ahead
and
overspend
and
we'll
reimburse
you
at
the
end
of
the
year.
You
know.
Sometimes
there
are
reasons
that
we
wait
to
end
of
year
to
tie
these
things
out,
and
sometimes
we
act
now,
because
we
want
to
demonstrate
accountability.
S
I
weighed
these
and
I
felt
strongly
that
if
the
chief
and
the
mayor
did
this
without
counsel,
without
our
actions
that
that
would
seem
very,
not
transparent,
it
would
not
be
who
we
are,
and
I
felt
we
needed
to
demonstrate,
especially
as
we
are
asking
outside
agencies
for
their
support,
that
we
are
deliberate
in
these
actions.
S
So
this
is
about
accountability,
and
I
I
think
it's
very
reasonable
to
ask
for
a
written
accounting
of
all
of
these
expenses,
as
some
of
my
colleagues
have
asked
for
I've
already
had
a
quick
conversation
with
the
city
coordinator
about
that.
That's
a
very
reasonable
thing
to
ask
for
not
all
public
safety
is
planned,
but
also
by
necessity,
public
safety
is
responsive.
So
I
I
appreciate-
and
I'm
not
blind
to
the
ongoing
sentiment
of
my
colleagues,
and
I
just
want
to
say
that
I
hear
you.
S
I
think
we
are
all
showing
that
here
today
and
we
know
that
this
isn't
a
catch-all
solution,
and
we
know
that
this
makes
some
level
of
trust
in
decision-making,
just
as
I
and
others
have
trusted
one
another
with
things
like
staff
directions
and
things
that
we
don't
understand.
All
of
the
details
on.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you,
councilmember
palmisano,
I
put
myself
in
queue,
and
just
I'm
really,
I
don't
know
dismayed
by
the
the
level
of
division
that
is
so
apparent
in
our
community
and
it
really
reflects
the
division
that
is
in
our
country
at
this
moment.
You
know
we're
we're
discussing
this
budget
as
if
we
just
had
a
a
regular
year,
but
since
march
16th
we've
all
been
working
from
home
may
27
the
third
precinct
burned
down.
B
We,
we
lost
a
number
of
police
officers
to
various
reasons
which
have
been
discussed
added
nauseam
before
this,
and
and
certainly
very
detailed
discussion
about
that
today.
You
know
I.
B
I
liken
the
approach
to
reimagine
public
safety
and
to
re-build
our
system
of
public
safety
in
this
city
which,
by
the
way,
if,
if
we're
to
be
very
honest
with
ourselves
and
with
our
community,
we'll
include
some
level
of
law
enforcement
in
any
public
safety
apparatus
that
we
imagine
in
the
future,
and
we
have
this
enormous
challenge
ahead
of
us
right
now,
and
that
is
the
crime
that
is
happening,
the
the
the
murders,
the
shootings,
the
carjackings,
the
robberies.
B
All
of
these
things
have
to
be
dealt
with.
If
we
were
remodeling
our
house,
we
would
we
would
have
the
luxury
to
move
out,
and
while
all
of
that
rehabbing
was
going
on,
when
we
rebuilding
our
police
system,
we
don't
have
the
the
luxury
to
move
out
of
our
house.
We
have
to
rebuild
it
while
still
trying
to
maintain
safety
in
our
community.
B
You
know
I,
I
was
very
reluctant
to
to
vote
for
the
north
side
gun
initiative
and
not
because
I
don't
want
to
see,
support
and
and
reduction
of
gun
violence
in
north
minneapolis,
but
because
it
only
addresses
north
minneapolis,
and
there
is
crime
happening
all
over
the
city
of
minneapolis
will
500
000
and
12
more
police
officers
per
shift
resolve
all
of
those
crimes.
B
No,
but
what
it
will
do
is
provide
a
sense
of
action
that
we
are
taking
as
a
city
to
deal
with
this
really
heartbreaking
increase
in
crime
that
is
occurring
in
our
city.
You
know
I
I'm
gonna
say
something:
that's
probably
very
and
I'm
gonna
state
it
because
last
night
I
was
informed
of
the
fact
that
one
of
my
cousins,
one
of
my
mother's
nephews,
was
murdered.
Not.
S
B
In
minneapolis
in
chicago
by
another
black
person-
and
that
is
what's
happening
in
our
communities
right
now-
and
if
we
don't
begin
to
talk
about
that
as
a
community
police
can't
solve
all
of
these
answers,
we
as
community,
have
to
step
forward
and
and
begin
to
solve
these
problems,
too,
and
and
just
honestly
putting
money
into
all
of
the
the
support
services
that
we
have,
in
fact
been
investing
in
is
not
resolving
all
of
these
issues
either.
B
It's
going
to
take
a
combination
of
all
of
these
things
to
have
true
equitable
public
service,
public
safety
in
our
community,
and
so
I
I
just
wanted
to
state
those
things,
and
I
see
mayor
frye
and
councilmember,
cunningham
and
council.
President
bender
are
all
thank
you.
U
Thank
you,
madam
vice
president.
Some
of
what
you
just
said
was
going
to
be
in
my
comments
and
so
I'll
make
these
as
brief
as
possible.
First,
nobody
is
saying
that
having
these
12
additional
staffing
positions
filled
will
somehow
solve
the
wave
of
crime
or
violence
that
we're
experiencing,
but
our
chief
has
clearly
stated
that
it
will
help.
He
said
that
he
does
not
have
the
resources
right
now
to
properly
respond
to
9-1-1
calls
in
an
unprecedented
fashion.
U
He's
come
forward
with
transparency,
be
it
the
data
portal
or
his
visits
to
council,
which
have
been
repetitive
and
more.
As
far
as
I
know,
than
ever
before,
he's
shown
the
willingness
to
engage
he's,
showing
the
willingness
to
bring
additional
staff
on
like
director
mcpherson,
to
answer
questions,
and
you
know
I
do
think
we
need
to
be
giving
our
chief
the
necessary
respect,
and
this
is
not
just
to
our
chief.
This
is
to
all
of
our
department
heads
this
is
to
all
of
our
staff.
U
We
can't
go
off
on
staff
when
we
don't
like
their
recommendations.
We
can't
ignore
the
data
when
it
doesn't
support
our
conclusions
right
now.
I
think
we
need
to
be
giving
our
colleagues
our
staff,
our
department,
heads,
grace
and
respect.
We
need
to
be
giving
each
other
grace
and
respect.
We
need
to
be
giving
our
chief
grace
and
respect,
and
if
we
can't
you
know,
I
don't
think
we
should
continue
to
haul
them
in
to
be
belittled
like
our
chief
has
been
at
times.
You
know
I
I
stand
with
our
chief.
U
I
support
him
fully
and
I
want
to
emphasize
how
much
work
he's
been
doing
and
who
he
is.
You
know
this
is.
This
is
a
chief
that
started
out
his
career
as
a
beat
officer
on
the
north
side.
This
is
this
is
a
chief
that
you
know
didn't
particularly
love
to
carry
a
gun.
U
The
harm
that
needs
to
be
changed
and
he
has
always
stood
by
transformational
change
every
step
of
the
way,
whether
that's
in
in
getting
rid
of
warrior
style,
training
both
on
and
off
duty.
That's
making
sure
there's
full
compliance
with
our
body
camera
or
that's
immediately
firing
all
four
officers
following
the
killing
of
george
floyd.
U
J
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
will
say
that
as
council
president
bender
was
speaking
to,
I
am
one
of
those
council
members
that
spends
dozens
upon
thousands
out
of
hours,
hundreds
of
hours
focused
on
public
safety.
I
have
done
the
work
to
dig
into
it,
learn
about
it.
I
I
meet
with
community
members
frequently
I
work
closely
with
the
fourth
precinct
inspector.
I
I
have
done
the
work
even
before
being
elected
into
office,
so
I
so
I
I
start
off
with
saying
that
that
I
am
not
coming
into
this
conversation.
J
Having
not
done
the
work
like,
I
have
done
a
lot
of
work
focused
on
public
safety.
That
has
been
my
primary
focus
because
it
so
disproportionately
impacts
my
community
and
I
live
in
the
middle
of
a
hot
spot.
So
when
folks
talk
about
people
dying,
those
numbers
are
not
abstract
to
me
in
my
office.
While
I
was
sitting
here
with
the
window
open,
I
heard
the
gunshots
that
killed
a
16
year
old,
just
a
couple
blocks
from
my
house.
I
live
in
the
middle
of
this.
J
J
As
a
council
member,
I
also
will
say
that
we
have
in
front
of
us
the
reality
that
the
criminal
justice
system
that
we
have
not
only
here
in
minneapolis
and
around
the
country,
but
around
the
country,
our
criminal
justice
system
is
broken,
and
the
chief
said
that
you
know
the
court
system.
It
does
not
hold
up
its
end
of
the
bargain.
We
arrest
folks
they
go
into
they
they're
arrested,
they're
booked
and
then
they're
released
back
out
into
the
community.
J
I
have
been
talking
about
a
both,
and
what
we
are
talking
about
here
today
is
not
a
both
and
it
is
being
framed
as
though,
if
you
don't
support
this,
then
you
are
either
or-
and
that's
not
the
actual
reality
that
we
are
navigating
right
now,
the
both
and
is
thinking
about
how
we
are
combining
the
resources
that
are
in
community,
whether
that's
community
members,
that's
community
organizations
that
social
services,
alongside
targeted
law
enforcement
folks,
have
brought
up
my
my
staff
direction
as
like
an
example
of
a
favor
that
they
did.
J
For
me,
there
is
evidence
behind
the
strategy
that
was
that
is
being
dug
into
and
what
was
discussed
at
committee,
the
public
health
and
safety
committee
that,
by
focusing
on
north
minneapolis
and
the
gun,
violence
that
happens
here,
that
there
are
city-wide
implications
in
terms
of
being
able
to
have
a
population
level
impact.
That's
not
a
favor
to
me.
That's
actually
good
governing,
and
I
brought
it
forward
as
resource
neutral
because
of
the
fact
that
we
are
in
a
budget
crisis
right
now.
J
If
we're
going
to
be
putting
500
000
into
the
into
public
safety,
why
would
we
not
actually
invest
into
a
both
and
strategy
if
we
were
to
have
the
500
000
go
towards
an
enhanced
gvi
strategy
that
would
allow
for
it
to
be
citywide?
That
would
allow
for
it
to
be
for
it
to
have
a
youth
specific
component
which
our
gvi
doesn't.
J
Our
gvi
program
does
not
currently
have,
and
so
I
just
want
to
reclaim
the
both
and
because
of
the
fact
that
what
we
are
talking
about
here
is
not
at
both
end
and
I
care
about
safety.
So
deeply,
I've
talked
about
it
a
lot.
I've
been
digging
into
the
work
and
what
I
have
brought
forward
is
a
targeted
enforcement.
Alongside
community
engagement.
I
did
that
in
a
resource
neutral
way.
What
doesn't
make
sense
is
for
us
to
continue
to
arrest
people
for
them
to
be
booked
and
then
for
them
to
be
released.
J
When
we
actually
can
have
a
strategy
that
will
stop
people
from
engaging
in
the
criminal
activity
to
begin
with
and
be
able
to
free
up
resources
for
to
actually
focus
on
those
who
are
continuously
still
engaging
in
that
behavior.
So
just
throwing
that
out
there
for
consideration.
I'm
not
bringing
forward
a
motion
to
like
move
this
money,
but
just
talking
about
where
we
invest
resources
and
if
you
really
want
to
get
done
with
it
both
and
that's
a
pathway
for
us
to
be
able
to
do
that.
B
Thank
you,
councilmember
council
president
bender.
E
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I'll,
be
very
brief.
I
see
we
have
a
colleague
who
needs
to
leave.
You
know.
I
just
want
to
note
that
you
know
the
council
took
a
lot
of
unanimous
actions
related
to
public
safety
over
the
summer.
A
lot
of
council
members
who,
I
think
sound
like
will
vote
for
this
increase,
voted
to
decrease
the
police
budget
just
a
few
months
ago,
and
that's
okay,
it's
okay!
E
To
change
your
mind
to
evolve
to
debate,
so
I
just
really
want
to
make
sure
that
we
create
an
environment,
yes
of
respect,
but
of
doing
our
jobs
to
show
up
and
ask
questions
and
to
ask
for
information.
E
You
know
other
city
departments
give
us
information
right
and
to
imply
or
say
that
folks
don't
care
about
an
issue
if
they
don't
support
a
particular
thing.
It's
really
unfair.
We
have
people
living
outside
intense
right
now
it
is
snowing.
So
I
assume
that
everyone
here
cares
about
that,
even
though
we
don't
have
a
proposal
here
today
to
get
people
inside,
you
know
I
assume
that
people
care-
I
you
know,
I
think
it's
important
to
assume
good
intentions.
E
I
assume
that
people
didn't
get
phone
calls
because
council
members
were
busy
not
because
you
were
counting
through
some
vote
roll,
but
but
I
don't
know
right
so
you
know
I
just.
I
don't
really
think
it's
helpful
to
to
cast
the
idea
of
asking
questions
or
even
debating
an
issue
which
is
literally
our
jobs
in
a
democracy
as
as
divisive,
this
work
isn't
going
to
be
accomplished
through
campaign
speeches
or
press
conferences.
K
Thank
you,
madam
vice
president,
and
I
appreciate
hearing
from
all
my
colleagues
on
this
I've
just
been
listening
to
this
conversation
and
the
conversations
in
my
community
and
what
people
have
to
say
about
this.
I
agree
with
vice
president
jenkins
that
this
is
reflective
of
divisions
we're
seeing
nationally.
K
I
agree
with
what
council
president
bender
just
said
that
we
shouldn't
describe
motives
with
this.
We
know
it's
temporary
45
days,
there's
an
opportunity
to
renew
into
the
new
year.
We've
done
jet
teams
before
mutual
aid.
I
agree
with
council
member
gordon.
Ideally
this
would
come
from
mpd's
budget.
K
I
agree
with
council
president
bender
police
are
making
a
lot
of
rest
arrests.
I
also
agree
with
goodman
that
staffing
is
down
nearly
20
percent
and
yet
we're
still
paying
for
these
employees,
and
I
agree
with
the
frustration
around
that
also.
K
K
I've
read
from
my
colleagues
or
listened
to
over
the
months,
also
agree
that
while
we
are
making
immediate
changes,
we
need
to
have
that
new
functionality
up
and
running
and
that
we
will
transition
work
over
and
that
we
are
committed
not
to
let
several
service
levels
drop
to
the
detriment
of
our
communities
when
it
comes
to
responding
to
9-1-1
calls.
K
K
I
agree
with
council
member
osman,
who
mentioned
small
business
owners
and
hearing
from
them
the
concerns
that
they've
seen
firsthand
and
my
colleagues
who've
talked
to
victims
of
violence
and
and
what
they're
hearing
and
it
sounds
like.
There's
a
lot
of
frustration
all
around
from
the
chief
and
from
council
members,
and
I
agree
with
the
statement
as
well
that
you
know
our
chief
is
unanimously
supported,
and
here
he
is
sounding
the
alarms.
And,
yes,
we
can
disagree
with
him.
K
I
also
agree
with
council
president
bender.
It's
not
necessarily
a
huge
decision
today.
In
fact,
the
amount
we're
talking
about
is
a
quarter
of
one
percent,
but
this
is
also
about
a
larger
conversation.
Here.
You
know,
accountability
isn't
just
with
mpd
either.
I
know
we've
made
commitments
around
launching
community
engagement.
We
fell
short
on
the
timeline.
K
We
had
expectations
around
some
of
the
alternatives
that
we've
funded,
and
at
least
I
can
speak
for
myself.
I
don't
think
those
are
quite
going
as
expected,
and
so
we
continue
to
try
to
do
better
on
these
alternatives
and
we
have
supported
a
lot
of
immediate
changes
within
our
budget
within
our
department
within
other
departments
as
well
to
try
to
start
this
transition
and
get
pieces
put
in
place
and
moving
around
it
overall
it
as
I'm
reflecting
on
the
conversations
it
does
seem
like
there's
a
disconnect
somewhere,
because
you
know
I
council,
member
schroeder.
K
I
have
heard
him
over
and
over
and
over
again
say:
what's
the
plan?
What's
the
plan?
What's
the
plan
and
I
agree
that
details
have
been
sparse
and
I
think
that
that's
another
area
where
we're
seeing
a
lot
of
frustration,
but
I'm
inclined
to
support
at
this
committee
today
advancing
this.
I
want
to
see-
and
I
think
we
deserve
more
details
on
what
this
ultimately
looks
like
as
a
number
of
colleagues
have
noted,
we
have
very
limited
levers
from
the
council
side.
K
No
doubt
that's
driving
a
lot
of
the
frustration,
I
would
say,
but
financial
approvals
are
one
of
those
levers
between
now
and
friday.
I
would
encourage,
in
the
spirit
of
being
pragmatic
and
working
together
that,
if
this
were
is
to
pass
today
that
we
all
keep
open
minds
and
work
together
and
talk
about
if
there
are
conditions
that
we
could
add
as
well,
that
would
not
hinder
the
ability
to
get
more
resources
at
a
time
when
staffing
is
down
nearly
20
percent
and
calls
are
up,
and
so
clearly
that
has
a
service
level
impact.
K
But
if
we
can
put
some
conditions
on
ultimately
the
approval
on
friday
that
improve
transparency
improve
accountability.
I
would
very
much
be
interested
in
that,
and
I'm
very
interested
in
talking
with
colleagues
about
that
and
we'll
we'll
do
so
outside
of
this
meeting
and
see
if
we
can
brainstorm
some
ideas
as
well.
It's
not
an
easy
issue
on
on
any
of
this,
but
I
think
this
is
something
that
is
is
supportable
today.
Thank
you,
madam
vice
president.
E
No
madam
chair,
I'm
trying
to
figure
out
my
other
meeting,
so
it's
figured
out.
Thank
you.
B
All
right,
then,
councilmember
pomasano.
S
I
B
So
we
have
a
motion
to
call
the
question
and
it's
been
properly
seconded.
I
will
ask
the
clerk
to
call
it
wrong.
C
R
R
N
Madam
vice
president,
this
is
casey
you're
voting
on
the
underlying
motion,
which
included
a
combined
motion
to
call
it
right
now.
So
the
question
is
the
underlying
motion
of
approving
the
authorization
for
the
transfer
of
contingency
funds
to
the
npd
as
set
forth
in
the
rca.
That's
the
vote
that
is
being
taken
right
now
by
the
clerk
calling
the
role.
B
I
will
is
there
any.
H
D
C
D
A
C
R
Q
D
B
Next,
we
have
reports
from
our
standing
committees.
We
will
start
with
the
budget
committee
chair
by
councilmember
palmisano.
S
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
At
budget
committee,
we
just
received
and
filed
the
following:
departmental
budget
presentations,
the
mayor's
office,
311
communications,
the
office
of
emergency
management
and
the
city
attorney's
office.
Those
were
received
and
filed
at
committee
with
some
a
fair
amount
of
discussion,
and
we
have
nothing
to
bring
to
council
this
friday.
Thanks.
B
I
Thank
you,
madam
vice
president.
There's
a
lot
of
items
I'll
see
if
I
can
go
through
them
item

an

for

I
Five
is
an
appeal

believe
that

say
on
this,
I
I
was
not
on
the
call

I
think,
was
denied
a

jennifer
young

kramer

behalf
of
the
california

I
B
M
Reflector,
thank
you
vice
president
jenkins,
I'll
I'll
just
know,
and
and
thanks
to
everyone
on
the
committee
for
digging
in
on
this,
both
at
the
planning,
commission
and
and
the
committee
here,
we
came
out
with
a
little
bit
of
a
contradictory
result
where
we
denied
the
appeal,
but
also
denied
the
rezoning,
and
so
I'm
working
to
get
to
a
good
outcome.
M
If
people
have
questions
about
that,
I
know
everybody's
getting
a
lot
of
emails
on
both
sides
of
that
conversation
and
I'll
be
happy
to
fill
you
in
on
the
details
and
we'll
talk
more
at
council.
J
Cunningham,
thank
you,
madam
vice
president.
This
friday,
the
public
health
and
safety
committee
will
be
bringing
forward
seven
items,
eight
items
for
I'm
sorry,
seven
items
for
approval.
The
first
is
related
to
neighborhoods
20,
the
neighborhoods
2020
plan.
There
are
several
item
actions
related
to
that
which
include
approving
the
neighborhood
2020
neighborhoods
2020
program
guidelines
and
funding
formula
authorizing
the
extension
of
the
current
community
participation
program
contracts
until
july.
J
Oh,
my
apologies.
Let
me
turn
on
the
camera
through
july
1st
2021.
The
third
action
is
authorizing
the
provisional
recognition
of
neighborhood
organizations
in
the
neighborhoods
2020
program
for
one
year.
The
fourth
item
is
authorizing
the
addition
of
clarifying
language
on
the
benefits
of

Adjusting

here,
thank
you,
madam

our
vice
president.

B
E
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
There
are
no
items
coming
forward
from
exec
for
approval.
We
did
have
a
presentation
from
staff
about
a
leadership
development
program
with
a
focus
on
race
equity.
The
presentation
is
in
the
executive
committee
report
online.
E
If
any
council
members
want
to
check
that
out,
staff
did
say
that
they
need
more
direction
from
policy
makers
on
this,
so
it
seemed
there
was
a
need
to
follow
up
on
next
steps,
but
certainly
in
line
with
the
direction
the
general
direction
the
council
has
been
giving
around
focusing
in
race
equity
in
every
aspect
of
of
city
business
and
work.
So
it
was
great
to
see
that
coming
forward,
you
know
really
initiated
by
department
heads
in
the
enterprise
and
the
rest
of
the
agenda
is
online
as
well.
Of
course,
thanks.
Madam
chair.
B
Thank
you,
president
bender,
and
with
that
we
have
concluded
all
the
business
to
come
before
this
committee
today,
and
we
are
a
term
thank.
