Description
Minneapolis Policy & Government Oversight Committee Meeting
https://lims.minneapolismn.gov/
B
Thank
you
good
afternoon.
My
name
is
Lisa
bender
I'm,
the
president
of
the
Minneapolis
City
Council
and
the
chair
of
the
policy
and
government
oversight
committee
I'm
going
to
call
or
to
order.
Our
regular
committee
meeting
I'd
like
to
note
for
the
record
that
this
meeting
has
remote
participation
from
council
members
and
city
staff
as
authorized
under
Minnesota
Open
Meeting
Law
Section
13
D
point
zero,
two
one
due
to
the
declared
state
of
local
public
health
emergency.

The
record
reflect
that
we
do
have
a
quorum.
Colleagues.
The
first
order
of
business
today
is
to
receive
your
presentation
from
our
congresswoman
in
Hondo
Mart.
It's
my
pleasure
to
welcome
you
into
this
new
virtual
City
Council
environment,
and
we
really
look
forward
to
your
presentation,
so
I'll
welcome
you
congresswoman
to
our
meetings
today.
H
I
know
especially
doing
this
crisis.
It's
been
really
important
to
me
and
and
to
many
of
you
that
we
work
seamlessly
at
a
federal
state
and
local
level.
Normally
in
these
discussions,
when
we
reach
out
to
our
local
municipalities,
we
go
through
our
normal
legislative
priorities,
but
I
know.
This
is
a
special
time
where
we
are
faced
with
some
some
challenges
and
and
some
difficulties,
and
so
I
wanted.
H
To
give
you
a
little
bit
of
an
update
of
what
we've
been
doing
on
a
federal
level,
as
many
of
you
know,
we
passed
one
of
the
most
robust
relief
packages
ever
assembled,
putting
funds
directly
into
the
pockets
of
Minnesotans
and
as
the
regional
whip
for
the
Midwest
in
the
Democratic
caucus
and
as
the
Progressive
Caucus
whip.
I've
been
involved
in
many
of
the
negotiations
to
make
sure
that
we
have
the
boldest
package
available
and,
as
many
of
you
know,
we've
introduced
the
legislation
to
suspend
rent
and
mortgage
payments
to
authorize
monthly
cash
assistance.
H
I
was
also
really
excited
to
have
the
opportunity
to
introduce
legislation
and
have
it
pass
into
law,
to
make
meals
free
for
our
kids
and
make
it
available
to
the
millions
of
students,
not
only
in
our
district
but
across
the
country
who
rely
on
school
meals
and
to
have
that
be
implemented.
While
the
schools
are
closed,
I
want
to
just
apply
quickly:
Minneapolis
Public
Schools
for
distributing
over
1
million
meals.
Here
in
Minnesota
since
the
pandemic
began,
they
just
crossed
that
1
million
threshold.
H
This
week
we've
I
know
we
still
have
a
lot
of
work
that
we
need
to
do
during
this
difficult
time,
and
my
priority
has
been
in
trying
to
assist
every
single
one
of
you
as
we
try
to
deliver
for
our
constituents
well
aware
of
the
situation.
Cities
like
Minneapolis
are
in
with
the
projected
deficit
and
added
cost.
So
last
week,
I
was
proud
to
vote
on
the
heroes
Act,
which
was
a
trillion
three
trillion
dollar
coronavirus
relief
package.
The
bill
passed
the
House
and
we're
waiting
to
negotiate
it
in
the
Senate.
H
Under
the
heroes,
Act
Minneapolis
would
receive
an
estimated
five
hundred
and
forty
million
dollars
in
2020
and
two
hundred
and
seventy
million
dollars
in
2021.
These
numbers
are
just
estimate
at
the
time,
but
it's
significant
step
in
the
right
direction.
The
heroes
Act
also
includes
two
billion
dollars
for
workforce
initiative
and
Opportunity
Act
employment,
training
programs,
something
that
I
know
it's
very
important
to
Minneapolis
Workforce
Development
Board
I
also
wanted
to
thank
you
for
your
work
and
outreach
with
the
immigrant
communities
and
communities
of
color
in
our
city.
H
As
we
know,
the
public
health
and
economic
impact
of
colvett
19
is
disproportionately
hitting
minority
communities.
That's
why
I
found
it
absurd
and
cool
that
taxpaying
mixed-status
couples
and
families
have
been
excluded
from
relief
that
we've
passed
on
a
federal
level,
including
the
1200
stimulus
checks
and
I've,
said,
after
the
passage
that
we
needed
to
do
something
to
recoup
those
benefits
for
them.
So
I
introduced
the
legislation
which
I'm
pleased
to
report
was
included
in
the
heroes
Act.
H
It's
been
really
exciting
to
see
many
of
the
City
Council's
across
the
country
also
lending
their
support
our
bill,
in
addition
to
my
bill,
the
heroes
Act
that
I
mentioned
earlier
that
passed
last
week
included
a
hundred
and
seventy-five
billion
in
rent
and
mortgage
assistance.
11
billion
for
homeless
grants
four
point:
seven:
five
billion
for
public
housing
vouchers
and
2
billion
for
public
housing
operating
fund,
but
more
immediately,
we
must
continue
to
advocate
for
state
level
on
the
extension
of
the
current
eviction,
moratorium
and
I
know
Council
President.
H
So
we
have
seen
we
have
also
seen
the
resurgence
II
of
homeless
encampments
in
certain
places
across
the
city.
Last
week,
I
talked
to
the
governor's
office
about
the
emergency,
shelter,
homeless
and
eviction.
In
response
to
the
questions
that
we've
raced
with
with
your
help
council
president
Lisa
bender,
we
know
that
three
hundred
and
thirty
million
emergency
response
package
was
passed
by
the
Minnesota
Legislature.
H
As
many
of
you
are
well
aware,
many
of
our
small
businesses
are
really
struggling
during
this
time,
while
programs
administered
through
SBA
like
the
PPP,
have
been
an
important
lifeline
for
some
businesses.
The
program
has
had
many
issues
and
many
of
the
money
went
to
large,
not
the
small
businesses,
so
we'll
continue
to
push
for
improvement
in
these
programs
and
we're
looking
actually
at
passing
legislation
in
the
next
couple
of
days.
H
Hopefully,
our
office
has
been
working
really
hard
with
small
businesses
and
connecting
them
with
resources,
and
we
hope
that
you
all
continue
to
engage
us
in
racing.
Some
of
the
concerns
that
businesses
in
our
areas
have
so
that
we
can
assist
them
and,
in
closing
you
know,
I've
taken
too
much
time.
Maybe
I'll
stop
for
for
some
questions,
but
I
really
just
wanted
to
say.
Thank
you
so
much
for
this
opportunity
to
come
and
dress
you.
H
We've
been
working
every
single
day
to
connect
workers,
unemployment,
assistance,
helping
folks
that
are
stuck
overseas
to
get
home
safely.
Assisting
our
incarcerated
people
who
are
getting
the
opportunity
to
be
led
out
to
safely
be
housed
within
our
communities,
we're
working
again
in
assisting
small
businesses.
I
You,
madam
president,
and
good
to
see
your
representative.
Thank
you
so
much
for
all
your
leadership.
It's
just
been
really
incredible
and
we're
so
appreciative
of
it
and
I
I
was
wondering
we
know.
Obviously,
the
house
took
action
on
aid
to
local
governments
across
the
nation.
As
you
mentioned,
we've
heard
conflicting
things
from
the
Senate
side.
I
know
the
Senate
Majority
Leader
Mitch
McConnell,
even
into
that
wanting
cities
and
states
to
be
able
to
declare
bankruptcy,
which
is
a
really
terrifying
thought,
because
local
government
impacts
people's
lives
across
the
nation.
So
many
different
ways.
I
What
what's
your
your
feeling
or
take
on
the
likelihood
that
the
Senate
will
eventually
come
to
the
table
for
local
government
aid?
And
do
you
have
any
idea
where
something
might
land
with
that
in
terms
of
the
size
of
a
package
I'm
guessing
they
probably
won't
be
as
ambitious
or
generous
as
the
house,
but
would
be
really
great
to
know.
If
you
have
any
insights
and
they
can
aware
things
may
land
and
how
soon.
H
H
In
in
full
understanding
that
their
cities
and
states
truly
do
provide
essential
services,
this
is
going
to
mean
jobs
lost
for
for
folks,
whether
it
is
with
in
law
enforcement
with
whether
it
is
our
firefighters
or
the
city
staff
that
that
are
constantly
working
to
make
sure
that
they
are
providing
the
the
essential
services
that
our
communities
need.
And
so
in
our
package
there
is
one
trillion
dollars.
That's
supposed
to
go
to
states
and
cities,
and
the
the
speaker
has
said
that
that
was
the
ask
that
came
from
mayors
and
governors.
C
G
Thank
you,
madam
president.
Thank
You
congresswoman.
It's
been
wonderful
to
see
you
I'm
here
today,
so
thank
you.
I
just
wanted
to
just
briefly
say
thank
you
for
the
bill
that
you
brought
forward.
I
think
that
it's
really
powerful
and
amazing,
it
really
would
be
impactful-
has
huge
implications
for
the
North
Side
I
just
want
to
specifically
say
thank
you
within
the
affordable
housing
acquisition
fund
for
intentional
prevention,
around
massive
corporate
purchases
and
real
estate.
Speculations
like
what
happened
after
2008.
G
That
was
a
huge
issue
that
happened
in
North
Minneapolis,
with
single-family
homes
being
rapidly
acquired.
Large
swaths
of
of
my
Ward's
housing
stock
was
bought
up
over
200
properties
by
one
company
and
that
wall
street's
ended
up
getting
making
like
27
million
dollars
off
of
ultimately,
and
so
so,
I
really
appreciate
you
bringing
that
to
the
federal
level,
because
trying
to
fight
that
at
the
local
level
is
really
really
challenging.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
for
raising
that
and
and
incorporating
that
into
the
conversation.
That's
all
thank
you.
H
Thank
you
so
much
congressman
Cunningham.
We
have
been
really
trying
to
push
that
part
of
our
legislation.
I
know
that
housing
and
rental
assistance
is
much
more
feasible,
and
so
we
were
able
to
compromise
on
that
and
and
get
that
pass
through.
But
the
acquisition
fund
is
something
that
we
are
still
pushing
and
fighting
for.
We've
found
an
unlikely
partner
in
chairwoman,
Maxine
Waters
and
speaker
Pelosi,
and
we
have
a
commitment
that
that
will
be
part
of
the
negotiations
that
might
actually
get
accomplished.
H
G
Love
to
be
of
support
in
whatever
way
that
I
can.
This
has
been
a
frequent
topic
of
conversation
since
the
crisis
began.
For
me,
it's
just
a
lot
of
advocacy
around
that
I.
Think
that
when
we
talk
about
racial
equity,
we
see
very
clearly
homeownership
versus
renting.
You
know
in
Minneapolis
that
there's
a
clear
racial
disparity.
There,
however,
I
represent
quite
a
few
women
of
color
black
women
in
particular,
who
are
homeowners,
who
also
are
cash
poor,
what
low
wealth?
G
E
Those
weekly,
sometimes
almost
daily
phone
calls,
have
been
very,
very
informative
and
very
helpful
as
we
think
about
policies
here,
policy
perspectives
here
in
in
Minneapolis,
but
also
understanding,
what's
happening
at
the
national
level.
There's
a
lot
of
hope
riding
on
the
hero
act,
legislation
I,
hope
you
guys
can
get
it
done.
One
of
the
things
that
I
have
been
trying
to
incorporate
in
those
CBC
calls
is
really
hopefully
making
sure
that
communities
that
policy
makers
and
legislators
all
over
the
country
are
including
LGBT
identified
communities
in
their
response
to
the
crisis
and,
more
specifically,.
E
Lgbt
and
people
of
color
transgender
people
of
color
into
their
response,
and
so
anything
that
you
can
do
to
help
bring
that
message
forward.
I
would
myself
and
millions
of
Americans
who
identify
as
such
would
appreciate
it
as
well.
Thank
you
so
much
for
being
here
today
and
thank
you
for
your
service
in
the
United
States
Congress.
H
Thank
you
so
much
vice
president
Jenkins,
you
know
it's.
It's
been
really
valuable
to
to
have
the
the
daily
calls,
because
sometimes
they're,
not
weekly,
there's
there's
few
of
them
within
a
walk
within
a
week
with
with
the
Congressional
Black
Caucus,
as
as
we
try
to
think
through
what
it
means
to
collaboratively
respond.
H
But
how
do
we
also
respond
to
to
what
this
crisis
will
ultimately
and
unveil
for
for
our
communities
and
and
your
lens,
truly
as
not
just
a
black
leader
within
our
community,
but
also
speaking
to
to
a
community
that
has
been
invisible
and
now
more
invisible,
even
so,
and
to
be
a
voice
for
Minnesota?
When
we
don't
have
enough
right
enough?
H
E
F
F
With
these
changes,
how
this
year
has
gone
much
differently
than
we
planned
last
December
we
are
looking
to
make
up
as
a
city
a
hundred
and
sixty-five
million
dollars
in
revenues
that
we
had
thought
we
would
get
in
won't.
You
know
some
of
that
is
simply
things
like
a
collection
rate
for
parking,
but
some
of
that
is,
as
councilmember
Cunningham
mentioned,
is
about
tax
payers
and
property
tax
payers.
F
Some
of
those
are
homeowners
that
were
unable
to
pay
their
first
half
property
taxes,
and
some
of
them
are
small
business
owners
that
are
really
hoping
to
make
it,
but
also
couldn't
they're
first-half
property
taxes.
Our
revenues
in
terms
of
what
we
expected
to
get
in
to
pay
for
things
that
the
city
does
was
down
8%,
and
that
is
a
surprising
number
to
our
budget
office.
That
means
these
people
didn't
feel
that
they
could
make
payment
on
their
first
half
property
taxes.
Do
so
I
I
just
offer
that
in
case,
it's
helpful.
H
H
President
Lisa,
bender
and
mayor
Jacob
Frye
have
offered
to
me
and
our
office
in
regards
to
keeping
us
informed
on
some
of
the
budget
struggles.
That
Minneapolis
is
facing
some
of
the
difficult
decisions
that
you
all
will
ultimately
have
to
make
if
there
isn't
a
clear
path
to
getting
relief,
and
it
has
been
really
important
to
be
in
conversations
with
Congress,
Councilwoman,
Cano
and
Councilman
Jeremiah
with
regards
to
property
taxes,
as
we
thought
through
what
our
rent
and
mortgage
cancellation
bill
would
mean
and
and
formulating
a
piece
of
legislation
that
would
ultimately
also
allow
for.
H
Some
of
my
other
cities
are
feeling
they.
They
don't
have
the
the
kind
of
economic
stability
that
Minneapolis
might
have.
Some
of
them
have
many
more
challenges
and
so
to
hear
the
pain
that
Minneapolis
is
is
feeling
is
to
know
that
there
is
more
pain
within
the
other
cities
that
I
represent,
and
so
that
has
made
us
act
urgently
and
and
support
legislation
that
ultimately
isn't
perfect.
But
we
know
that
what
it
would
provide
would
mean
much
to
the
cities
that
we
represent
and
to
our
constituents.
F
You
I
really
appreciate
that
answer.
Congresswoman
I
did
want
to
make
one
small
clarification.
I
said
something
wrong:
I
said
that
our
revenues
came
in
eight
percent,
less
than
you
know,
than
what
we
would
typically
get
or
we're
planning
to
get
from
property
taxes.
For
this
first
half,
in
fact
it's
it
is
20
percent
less.
B
Thank
You
customer
and
that's
I,
you
know
I
think,
as
you
mentioned,
customer
paulistano,
partly
because
Hennepin
County
allows
folks
to
defer
their
payment
without
financial
penalty.
You
know
in
order
to
help
families
through
this
initial
part
of
the
shop,
but
it's
one
of
the
many
variables
that
we
have
not
knowing
whether
it
will
fall
at
that
8%,
estimated
or
higher.
As
the
months
go
by,
we
have
councilmember
kono.
J
You
know
to
pay
rent
and
to
consider
themselves
at
risk
once
the
declaration
of
emergencies
are
lifted,
and
so
these
are
direct
messages
that
they're
getting
from
landlords
again,
not
trying
to
judge
the
landlord
adjuster
and
identifying
the
problem
here
that
governor
Waltz
did
extend
the
declaration
of
emergency
into
June
12th
and
then
at
that
time,
in
June
12th,
which
is
less
than
a
month
away.
We
will
find
out
again,
if
he's
going,
to
extend
it
or
not,
and
and
of
course
that
is
directly
connected
to
the
moratorium
on
evictions.
J
But
we
can't
pretend
that
that's
not
a
potential
reality
and
we
shouldn't
not
be
preparing
for
it,
and
so
you
know
I've
dug
around
a
little
bit
and
some
people
said
well.
Why?
Don't
you
just
connect
with
the
tenant
Resource
Center,
the
tenant
Research
Center
is
a
staff
level
initiative
mostly
housed
out
of
the
county.
Hennepin
County,
it
doesn't
include
a
statewide,
purview
and
and
I
know.
Folks
are
actively
participating
in
that
at
the
staff
level
to
deliver
services
and
to
troubleshoot
the
current
conditions.
But
what
I'm
speaking
more
about
is?
J
That
needs
to
happen
together
to
get
to
to
the
place
of
getting
a
bill,
and
now
I
would
assume
that
any
type
of
an
initiative
or
measure
to
address
the
issue
of
evictions
is
connected
to
a
direct
subsidy
of
the
bank
industry
and
so
looking
at
this
I'm.
Looking
at
this
as
a
bailout
for
the
banks,
I
don't
really
see
any
other
way
that
we
get
out
of
it,
but
it
would
love
to
hear
thoughts
either.
J
For
my
colleagues
or
from
our
congresswoman
about
you
know
what
should
we
be
doing
with
the
next
30
days
that
we
have
on
our
hands?
And
you
know,
let's
hope,
that
the
governor
and
our
renews
yeah
declaration
of
emergency,
but
we
also
know
that
at
the
same
time,
the
economy
is
going
to
get
more
and
more
complicated.
J
As
as
these
payments
don't
get
me
and
as
people
lose
jobs,
I
mean
I
was
gonna
call
of
Greater
MSP
yesterday,
and
they
informed
me
that
you
know
state
of
Minnesota
is
slated
to
to
lose
a
million
jobs
within
the
next.
You
know
six
to
nine
months
and
that
Latinos
are
unfortunately
disproportionately
represented
in
that
loss
of
jobs.
So
so
I'd
love
to
just
hear
advice,
and
just
you
know
just
from
other
folks
like
what
what's
what's
our
plan.
What
do
we
want
to
do.
H
So
you
and
I
have
talked
about
this
many
times
now.
I
did
discuss
this
particular
issue
with
council
president
lisa
bender
as
well.
We've
been
thinking
through
what
an
ultimate
and
really
to
this
anxiety
about
the
lifting
of
the
eviction.
Manatorian
could
mean.
H
H
Know.
Council
president
told
me
that
the
majority
of
the
people
who
applied
for
the
housing
for
the
rental
assistance
program
would
have
already
qualified
for
it
before
this
pandemic.
And
so
we
know
people
are
how
their
housing,
insecure
or
ready
to
begin
with,
and
to
expect
somebody
who
barely
was
able
to
come
up
with
their
month's
rent
to
now
without
having
income
to
come
up
with
three
months
plus
the
current
month.
J
Thank
you
so
much
congresswoman,
Omar
I,
really
appreciate
you.
Considering
too,
you
know
taking
the
leadership
to
bring
some
of
these
minds
together
on
this
at
the
elected
official
level
and
I
do
think
it's
a
gap
that
is
in
the
field
right
now
and
I
think
it
would
be
wonderful
if
you
helped
to
fill
that
gap.
B
B
Prohibition
for
buildings
that
have
federally
backed
mortgages
and
we're
able
to
get
a
list
of
all
of
the
buildings
and
Minneapolis
that
have
that
status
for
five
plus
unit
buildings,
and
then
we
weren't
able
to
get
the
data
for
those
smaller
one
to
four
unit
buildings
and
well,
it's
not
a
majority
of
the
units
in
our
city.
It's
a
decent
number
of
rental
units
that
have
those
protections
and
those
opportunities
for
the
landlords
who
also
you
know
many
need
financial
support
now
as
well.
B
So
I
think
there
are
places
in
our
housing
system
where
there's
lots
of
you
know
safety
nets
in
place,
particularly
around
homeownership,
and
then
there's
lots
of
places
within
our
housing
system
that
don't
have
any
protections
or
catch,
and
you
know
for
people
who
need
it,
and
so
I
just
want
to.
Thank
you
for
your
leadership.
Both
you
know
logistically
on
creating
the
bill,
but
also
your
thought
leadership
and
stretching
to
think
about
that.
B
The
need
to
fill
that
gap
in
our
housing
policy
systems
federally
and
to
understand
those
particular
needs
that
renters
have
in
our
communities.
And
of
course
this
is
a
problem
not
only
across
cd5
but
across
the
state
of
Minnesota,
so
I
think,
there's
so
much.
You
can
learn
from
communities
around
state
whose
housing
situations
may
look
a
bit
different
than
ours,
but
have
very
similar
dynamics.
B
I
mean
even
last
year
before
the
crisis,
10,000
Minnesotans
were
evicted
and
in
Greater
Minnesota
3/4
of
those
folks
lost
their
homes,
and
so,
if
you
add
in
the
economic
crisis
that
we're
facing
you
know,
it's
just
pretty
hard
to
imagine
what
our
state
would
look
like
if
we
didn't
have
better
protections
in
place.
So
thank
you
again
for
that.
B
In
all
of
your
other
work,
we've
had
lots
of
conversations
about
our
budgets
and
the
challenge
that
Minneapolis
is
having
all
the
other
local
governments
in
cd5,
as
we
wait
for
the
legislature
to
debate
the
cares
Act
funds,
but
you
know
we're
hopeful
and
appreciate
your
efforts.
There
too,
and
I
don't
see
anything
else.
So
I
will
just
thank
you
so
much
for
taking
the
time
to
meet
with
us
today
and
share
what
you're
working
on
and
for
your
accessibility
and
your
staff
as
well.
I
know.
H
Thank
you
so
much
for
for
having
me
and
I
think
just
your
last
point.
I
wanted
to
quickly
say
it
is
easy,
I
think
to
often
think
about
putting
protections
in
for
people
that
are
not
that
vulnerable
and
we
always
have
a
hard
time
protecting
those
that
are
the
most
vulnerable
in
our
community,
which
kind
of
is
like
an
oxymoron
thing
to
work
through,
because
you
want
to
have
protection
in
place
for
the
people
who
are
the
most
vulnerable
in
our
communities.
And
somehow
that's
not.
H
That's
not
the
easiest
thing
to
do
as
we
found
in
in
in
these
positions
of
influence,
and
so
our
our
work
and
commitment
has
to
be
in
in
advocating
for
those
that
are
most
vulnerable
in
in
our
systems
in
our
institutions
and
and
try
to
take
the
the
issues
that
seem
unpopular,
but
are
the
most
logical
ones
and
and
push
them
forward.
And
so
I
really
do
appreciate
all
of
your
partnership
and
being
able
to
do
that.
It
means
a
lot
to
say
I'm
advocating
for
this,
because
my
cities
are
advocating
for
it.
H
B
You
again
so
much
and
we
don't
have
any
action
on
this
item
so
we'll
just
leave
you
with
our
thanks
and
we'll
be
able
to
proceed
now
to
the
rest
of
our
agenda.
We
have
four
public
hearings
which
are
all
associated
with
land
sales,
so
I
will
make
sure
our
seat
pad
staff
are
ready.
The
first
hearing
is
on
the
proposed
sale
of
city-owned
property.
B
Ok
located
a
specific
address,
I'm
pausing,
because
I'm
I
know
a
while
ago.
At
the
beginning
of
this
meeting,
we
had
a
couple
of
people
who
are
signed
in
to
speak
on
item
three
I
just
wondered
if
they're
still
here,
because
I
would
be
happy
to
take
up
item
three
first
to
accommodate
those
people
who
would
like
to
speak
on
that
item.
Does
the
clerk's
office
know
yeah
I
see
there,
there
are
still
two
callers.
So
why
don't
without
objection?
B
I
take
up
item
three
first,
which
is
a
land
sale
as
they
all
are,
and
then
that
will
allow
the
folks
who've
been
waiting
patiently
to
speak.
So
this
hearing
is
on
the
proposed
sale
of
city-owned
property
located
at
two
thousand
three
health
side:
Avenue
north
to
Wilson
Molina
for
twenty
thousand
dollars,
subject
to
conditions
or
effects.
Closings
fails
then
authorizing
the
sale
of
that
property.
The
same
amount
auspicious
living
LLC,
which
is
subject
to
the
same
conditions
and
mr.
Rubin
on
is
here
with
a
staff
presentation
on
this
item.
B
B
B
A
Madam
president,
while
the
staff
is
working,
I
will
say
I
believe
that
mr.
Ramadan
from
the
CEPA
department
who
was
earlier
on
the
call,
is
just
experiencing
some
technical
troubles.
So
if
we
can
just
wait
a
moment,
he'll
be
ready
with
that
staff.
Presentation
on
item
number
3,
which
is
the
land
sale
for
8/10
ona
7,
and
our
wonderful.
B
B
At
8:10
Thomas
Avenue
north,
and
that
is
because
we
have
two
speakers-
who've
been
very
patiently
waiting
on
the
line
to
speak
on
this
item.
So
if
you
could
do
the
8:10
Thomas
Avenue
North
in
M,
first,
that
is
sale
to
Yusuf
Ali
for
$35,000
subject
to
conditions
or
if
that
falls
through
authorizing
the
sale
of
that
property
for
the
same
amount
to
vision,
Development,
Group,
LLC
also
subject
to
conditions.
B
B
B
So
I
had
seen
a
note
in
the
chat
that
mr.
Ramadan
was
here
in
the
meeting,
but
now
not
hearing
any
progress.
We
could
also
move
on
to
the
consent
agenda.
While
we
work
out
the
technical
details
for
the
four
public
hearings
great,
so
we
will
go
ahead
and
move
to
the
consent
agenda,
which
will
probably
take
you
know
ten
minutes
or
so
just
for
our
folks
who
are
reading
for
those
items.
So
the
consent
agenda
will
take
up
now
before
the
public
hearings.
B
If
any
customer
would
like
to
pull
any
items
off,
please
just
let
me
know
there
are
14
items
on
today's
consent.
Agenda
list
of
the
listed
as
item

through

I
will

and

approve
the
settlements
of
legal
claims
and
authorize
the
city

office

necessary
to
effectuate
those
settlements.
B
These
details
of
those
specific
cases
are
outlined
on
the
meeting

B
B
G
G
This
has
been
under
way
for
quite
some
time
and
the
final
product
I'm,
so
excited
about
the
design
and
I
want
to
just
make
sure
that
I
say
thank
you
to
this
to
Public
Works
staff,
Mike,
Samuelsson
and
Amy
Morgan,
for
working
so
closely
with
my
staff
and
with
me
to
make
sure
that
we
are
able
to
have
input,
stay
abreast
about
what's
happening,
I'm
very
excited
to
see
this
project
happen
and
I'm
very
grateful
for
the
very
diligent
work
of
Public
Works
staff
to
make
this
this
happen.
So
thank
you.
E
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
don't
want
to
pull
anything
off
the
agenda
either
of
the
consent
agenda.
I
do
want
to
speak
to
item
number
8
MC,
the
Metropolitan
Council
lcd,
a
recommendations
and
just
speak
to
a
project
that
wasn't
selected
or
prioritized
family
tree
clinic,
which
is
a
clinic
that
provides
much-needed.
E
E
You
know
in
this
in
this
time
of
public
health
crises,
and-
and
we
know
that
these
these
kinds
of
challenges
are
going
to
persistently
be
a
part
of
our
landscape
at
a
time
when
our
federal
government
is
making
healthcare
inaccessible
to
those
communities.
Specifically,
I
really
want
to
encourage
my
colleagues
who
serve
on
those
committees
and
the
staff
to
take
into
consideration
the
social
impacts,
our
decisions,
as
well
as
the
financial
or
shovel-ready
kinds
of
concerns
that
have
been
mentioned,
and
in
fact
this.
E
This
project
will
be
breaking
ground
in
September
and
so
seems
to
be
shovel
ready
to
me.
It
was
not
prioritized
and,
and
that
that's
unfortunate,
but
I
just
want
to
really
encourage
both
to
think
about
the
social
impacts,
as
well
as
the
sort
of
financial
considerations
that
go
into
prioritizing
these
types
of
projects.
Thank
you,
madam
president.
B
Thank
You
those
items
will
be
recommended
to
the
council
for
approval
on
Friday.
Now
we
will
return
to
our
public
hearings
and
miss
Ramadan
and
sweating
us
by
phone.
Thank
you
for
working
out
the
technical
issue
with
adaptability
and
we
will
begin
with
the
item,
which
is
the
property
located
at
8:10
Thomas
Avenue
North.
Thank
you.
K
Thank
you,
council
president
vendor
and
members
of
City
Council,
and
thank
you
for
your
patience.
I've
been
here
the
whole
time.
I
don't
know.
I
was
knocked
out
when
I
couldn't
talk
or
be
seen,
I
guess
so.
Let's
get
started
with
18
Thomas
Avenue
north,
which
is
assailed
from
Minneapolis
Holmes
policies
for
the
program
established
by
the
City
Council
on
December

2015,
and
on

it's

recommended
another

ranked
lower

they
also
ranked

believe
we've
been
waiting
for
a
while,
and
we
have

Carries
and
that
item
will
go
up
to
Council
on
Friday
at,
but
that
concludes
the
public
hearings.
Thank
you
all
for
that.
That
leaves
us
with
our
1
discussion
item
for
today,
and
this
is
the
proposal
to
revisit
our
council
structures
and
to
accommodate
the
process
to
adopt
the
amended
budget
in
June.
As
we
discussed
at
the
council
meeting
on
Friday,
the
clerk
and
I
have
both
spent
around
materials
related
to
this
item
and
they
are
all
listed
on
the
fintan
agenda
or
the
online
version
of
the
agenda
for
my
colleagues
and
the
public.
B
So
as
we
continue
to
experience
the
pandemic
and
our
shifts
in
governance
that
that
is
bringing
in
part
due
to
the
remote
nature
of
our
meetings
now
and
in
part
because
of
our
new
governance
structure
under
the
emergency
declaration,
I
know
we're
all
working
together
to
really
serve
our
community
with
the
same
transparency
and
the
same
quality
that
our
constituents
are
used
to
and
I
think
you
Minneapolis.
We
should
be
very
proud
of
the
level
of
accessibility
and
transparency
that
we
have
in
our
government.
So
those
are
the
values
that
are
really
coming
to
bring.
B
So
one
of
the
items
that
we
sent
around
was
a
shift
in
the
council
structure
to
reestablish
our
Budget
Committee.
As
you
know,
that
includes
all
members
of
the
City
Council,
and
this
will
enable
us
to
have
that
separate
committee.
That's
meeting
on
its
own
time
to
take
a
items
specific
to
the
budget.
In
this
case
a
presentation
of
the
mayor's
proposed
budget,
I
staff,
a
public
hearing
on
that
proposed
budget,
a
markup
of
our
budget
and
then
from
there.
B
The
items
would
go
to
the
full
City
Council
for
our
final
public
hearing
and
final
adoption
as
usual.
So
the
rather
the
resolution
that
we'll
be
talking
about
and
considering
today
will
look
at
me
establishing
that
budget
committee
because
of
all
of
the
meetings
that
it
will
take
to
handle
those
items.
That
I
talked
about
completing
the
hearings
and
presentations
and
markups
I'm,
proposing
to
shift
our
council
cycle
back
to
a
two-week
cycle
so
that
the
biz,
Pogo
and
City
Council
meetings
would
now
become
bi-weekly
instead
of
weekly.
B
If
you
look
at
the
calendar,
adding
in
those
budget
meetings
makes
it
basically
impossible
to
accommodate
all
those
meetings
in
an
electronic
format
like
this
and
I.
Think
we've
also
experienced
some
issues
with
that
weekly
cycle,
both
for
council
members
to
get
information
that
they
need
to
share
with
the
public
for
staff
to
have
time
to
respond
and
react
to
directives
from
the
council
or
questions.
B
So
we
were
talking
about
having
just
a
two-week
process
for
the
budget,
taking
all
of
the
feedback
that
we
heard
my
own
concerns
about
that
we've
shifted
to
add
just
a
few
more
days
to
that
process,
so
it
would
go
into
the
following
Tuesday
that
will
give
a
week
between
the
mark-up
of
our
budget
and
final
adoption
of
our
budget,
which
is
more
like
our
typical
process
and
that
eats
into
what
was
a
scheduled
board
workweek.
So
we've
shifted
that
to
start
in
the
next
day
and
go
into
the
week.
B
So
it
would
be
a
mid
week
to
mid
week
were
more
tweak.
But
what
enable
folks
to
still
have
that
time
to
catch
up
on
regular
work
and
do
all
the
things
that
happen
during
one
week
and
then
resume
back
to
that
two
week
cycle
after
the
budget
is
adopted.
So
I'll
turn
it
over
to
mr.
Karle
to
add
a
little
more
detail
and
then,
of
course,
there'll
be
time
for
questions
and
comments
as
well.
F
Thank
You
council
president
and
thank
you
casey
Carla's,
our
city
clerk.
You
are
always
diligent
in
detailing
out
all
of
the
things
that
are
needed
to
make
these
kinds
of
shifts
that
are
largely
invisible
to
the
public.
You
know,
I,
don't
think
that
the
public
necessarily
realizes
that
we
council
members
and
they
are
not
the
ones
actually
doing
the
crunching
of
the
numbers,
but
rather
there
are
staff
from
several
departments
who
are
working
tirelessly
on
this
revised
budget
and
preparing
for
what
will
be
very
depth.
F
Budget
Committee
meetings
and
I
do
think
that
this
is
the
most
transparent
thing
that
we
can
do
is
a
City
Council
during
this
time
is
to
is
to
go
through
the
process.
The
very
difficult
challenging
process
of
revising
our
city's
budget.
There's
a
lot
of
work
that
goes
into
making
sure
that
council
members
in
the
public
have
all
the
information
that
we
need
to
have
to
have
meaningful
discussion
and
making
sure
that
staff
are
set
up
to
provide
that
environment,
including
all
of
the
logistics
that
go
into
arranging
a
meeting
is
really
vital.
B
Thank
you
couple
mark
on
the
phone,
oh
and
as
our
budget
chair,
we
really
rely
on
you
to
both
help
manage
the
process
side
that
public
facing
side
of
our
budget,
but
also
to
so
much
behind
the
scenes
supporting
a
council
member
of
supporting
of
staff.
So
we're
really
grateful
for
all
of
the
work
that
you've
already
started
to
do
on
each
of
those
pieces.
Council,
member
Borden.
D
A
B
D
Appreciate
that
and
that's
fine
with
me
I
think
I
was
also
comfortable
with
pushing
it
out
a
little
further
to
the
second,
the
one
thing
that
I
am
noted
when
I
looked
at
the
calendar
so
with
the
materials,
the
background
materials
that
the
clerk
sent
us.
There
was
a
new
20/20,
Council
and
committee
calendar,
and
it
did
have
the
new
unlimited
committee
structure
on
it.
But
it
went
all
the
way
out
through
the
end
of
the
year
and
I
did.
D
That
was
a
little
bit
of
a
emotional
shock
to
me
and
I
just
wanted
to
for
the
record
I'm
hopeful
that
we
may
be
able
to
adjust
back
I'm
convinced
that
we
do
better
work
and
we
did
better
work.
When
we
had
our
committee
structure,
where
committees
could
dig
in
more
to
specific
items
and
we
had
a
few
more
committees
than
we
have
now
and
when
we
could
actually
meet
in
person
and
I'm,
not
giving
up
hope
that
we
won't
get
there
before
the
end
of
the
year.
D
A
B
Thank
you
and
if
mr.
crawle
noted
that
was
a
you
know,
clerical
decision
that
the
clerk's
office
need,
but
I
do
I.
Think
you
raise
an
important
point
that
I'm
sure
is
on
the
customers,
minds
and
members
of
the
public
as
well.
You
know,
in
my
thinking,
I,
think
I
think
it's
logistically
impossible
to
host
eleven
standing
committees
remotely,
which
is
our
typical
committee
structure
and
so
I
think.
B
The
iterative
process
that
will
have
to
follow
around
Council
structure
follows
our
decisions
to
make
about
whether
or
not
we
can
meet
in
person
and
when
how
we
accommodate
the
public,
including
those
folks
who
may
be
at
risk
for
Co
bid
or
in
high-risk
populations.
That
would
not
be
able
to
participate
in
person.
B
Even
if
restrictions
further
loosen
how
we
would
make
physical
accommodations
to
the
Chamber's
to
accommodate
at
least
what
our
current
social
distancing
recommendations
for
our
workplaces,
so
that
council
members,
of
course
our
seats,
but
also
all
of
the
staff
who
who
are
also
part
of
those
meetings
as
well.
So
I
think
we
are
also
welcoming
a
new
colleague
in
late
August.
B
So
I
think
that
we
will
likely
revisit
our
council
structure
and
calendar
as
we
go
and
again
giving
as
much
time
and
notice
to
the
public
as
we
can,
so
that
folks,
who
want
to
participate
and
follow
on,
can
do
that.
But
I
also
really
hear
from
you
and
I
think
others.
The
desire
for
council
members
who
have
leadership
in
particular,
subject
areas
and
relationships
with
staff
because
of
the
chair
of
a
committee
or
because
that
they're
a
council
member
who's
really
involved
in
those
issues.
B
As
as
we
move
forward
a
strong
desire
for
the
council
to
be
in
those
roles.
We
also
know
that
the
staff
priorities
have
shifted
dramatically
right
now
and,
as
we
enter
into
this
budget
process,
will
likely
have
further
impacts
on
our
workforce
and
capacity
to
to
do
work.
So
all
of
those
things,
I
think,
are
factors
in
how
we
structure
ourselves
both
internally
and
how
we
interact
with
the
public.
B
Thank
you.
Does
anyone
else?
Have
any
questions
or
comments
on
this
I've
had
a
lot
of
really
great
and
thoughtful
discussions
with
many
of
you
about
this
and
how
we
best
structure
our
work
so
just
appreciate
it
all
those
who
have
put
a
lot
of
thought
into
this,
even
if
you're,
not
making
comments
now
I,
don't
see
any
more
comments
on
this
item.
So
I
move
adoption
of
the
resolution
and
the
Associated
staff
directions.
Those
are
related
to
the
calendar
items.
Is
there
a
second
to
that
motion?
Second
been
moved
and
seconded
clerk?
C
C
D
J
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
just
wanted
to
do
two
things
number
one
apologize
to
my
colleagues
for
giving
us
some
inaccurate
information
last
time.
Local
progress
did
not
have
their
Sunday
night
convening
and
it
wasn't
until
after
I
had
shared
the
news
with
you
all
that
I
got
a
text
message
saying
that
it
had
been
postponed,
so
apologies,
but
please
do
plug
into
the
local
progress
work.
J
I
think
they've
been
having
really
amazing,
Sunday
night
convenings,
with
elected
officials
from
multiple
levels
of
government
talking
together
about
important
issues
relating
to
kovat
19
response,
and
these
are
people
from
all
over
the
country.
However,
the
next
announcement
is
true,
in
fact,
and
is
happening.
I've
been
in
touch
with
the
organizers
about
this
and
more
recently,
so
it's
in
relationship
to
the
canceled
rent
and
the
mortgage
payment
issue
related
to
Cova
19,
so
that
is
a
webinar
being
hosted.
This
Thursday
May
21st
at
11:00
a.m.
J
it's
a
one
hour,
long
webinar,
and
so
it's
going
to
be
11:00
a.m.
to
12:00
p.m.
and
then
there
is
a
series
of
folks
who
are
a
part
of
it.
So
the
folks
who
are
sponsoring
the
webinar,
our
policy
link
the
Center
for
popular
democracy,
the
partnership
for
working
families,
People's
Action,
the
right
to
the
city,
Alliance,
the
Alliance
for
housing,
justice
and
the
lawyers
Committee
for
civil
rights
and
locally
in
Keighley.
J
No
sonidos
is
going
to
be
a
part
of
the
panel,
that's
being
featured
that
day,
so
I'll
forward
you
all
this
information
that
I
have
via
email,
but
just
wanted
to
make
this
a
public
invite
for
members
who
of
the
public
and
a
member
of
our
council
who
might
want
to
join
it.
So
once
again,
this
Thursday,
a
May
21st
11:00
a.m.
it's
a
one
hour,
webinar
to
cancel
rent
to
reclaim
our
homes
and
it's
about
strategies
to
advance
equitable
housing
in
the
Cova
19
response
efforts.
So
thank
you.
