Shelters
that
will
serve
native
residents,
women
and
medically
vulnerable
individuals
experiencing
homelessness
and
that's
at
least
110
to
130
new
beds
for
people
who
really
need
them.
So
this
is
a
really
big
progress,
and
I
know
that
today's
vote
caps
a
ton
of
work
and
persistent
advocacy
from
many
of
you
and
residents
in
your
respective
wards.
J
We
had
the
chance
to
highlight
the
progress
on
on
those
sites
and
host
some
of
our
non-profit
partners
and
advocates
and
officials
from
different
jurisdictions
over
it
that
that
have
been
being
led
by
aicdc
over
on
cder.
J
We
also
have
three
additional
emergency
regulations,
since
we
last
met
which
I
will
get
into
shortly
and
lastly,
before
the
presentation,
I
want
to
give
a
nod
to
chief
john
friedl,
who
laid
out
his
retirement
timeline
this
week
and
the
word
legacy
gets
tossed
around
a
lot
in
moments
like
these,
but
over
the
course
of
four
decades.
41
years
I
mean
it
when
I
say
the
chief
friedel
has
built
a
legacy
in
the
city,
he's
helped
reshape
our
department's
approach
to
inclusive,
hiring
and
shepherded
fundamental
advances
in
firefighter
safety
for
this
department
and
without
fail.
J
J
The
updates
include
a
rescinding
of
er
2020-3,
which
is
the
adult
daycare
centers.
I
believe
that
councilmember
schrader
brought
this
up
last
week
and
so
beginning
july,
1st,
the
department
of
human
services
issued
additional
guidance
that
allows
providers
of
adult
daycare
services
to
resume
providing
in-person
services
to
people
who
do
not
live
in
congregate
settings.
The
facilities
must
adhere
to
physical
to
physical
facility
and
space
requirements
and
develop
a
covet
19
preparedness
plan,
so
still
regulation
in
place.
J
But
since
we
are
now
in
line
with
the
state
it
made
sense
to
to
rescind
in
this
form
the
second
is
rescinding
of
er
2020-11,
which
is
congregate,
care
facilities.
And
it's
because
a
number
of
the
confirmed
cases
among
residents
in
licensed
congregate,
healthcare
facilities
decreased
from
an
average
of
55
cases
per
week
in
april
and
may
to
an
average
of
seven
cases
per
week
in
june
and
july,
the
decision
was
made
to
rest
in
the
original
licensed
care
care
facilities,
emergency
regulation.
J
J
Essentially,
what
we
are
saying
is
we
are
allowing
and
continue
to
allow
table
service
table
service
is
allowed
as
long
as
individuals
are
seated
at
their
table.
Four
for
those
who
are
non-related
six
for
those
who
are
related.
The
big
difference
is
that
you
can't
have
large
number
of
people
crowding
around
the
bar
and
here's.
J
The
reasoning
more
than
fifty
percent
of
new
cases
in
minneapolis
continue
to
be
in
young
adults
under
the
age
of
35
who
report
increased
exposure
in
bars
and
gatherings
of
friends
and
family,
and
at
least
nine
minneapolis
bars
have
met
the
state's
definition
of
patron
outbreak
with
at
least
seven
bars
testing
five,
with
at
least
seven
patrons
testing
positive
in
each
one
of
those
respective
bars.
By
the
way,
that's
about
half
the
number
of
outbreak
locations
in
the
entire
state.
J
These
restrictions
are
meant
to
limit
the
the
close
congregation
of
individuals,
so
counter
service
is
now
restricted.
A
minute
ago,
when
I
said
that
it
was
about
half,
I
meant
half
with
regard
to
bars
so
table
seeding,
as
I
mentioned,
including
high
tops,
will
be
allowed
under
the
regulation.
As
long
as
that,
the
patrons
follow
the
existing
state
guidance,
and
so
they
continue
to
need
to
have
the
necessary
physical
distancing
between
tables
and
then
the
four
or
six
individual
cap.
J
This
new
measure
will
affect
roughly
640
bars,
brew,
pubs,
tap
rooms
and
adult
entertainment,
businesses,
and
the
regulation
goes
into
effect
this
saturday
august
1st
at
5
p.m.
I'll
also
note
that
bar
areas
or
even
dance
floors
can
be
converted
to
table
areas
as
long
as
again,
the
guidance
is
followed.
J
Next
is
health
by
the
numbers.
Total
approximate
number
of
completed
tests
is
just
over
a
million
at
this
point,
roughly
215
000
more
since
last,
we
met
total
positive
cases
in
in
minnesota.
There's
53
692.
10
000.
More
than
last
time
we
met
and
then
the
patients
who
no
longer
need
to
be
isolated
are
46.
965.
J
E
J
Based
on
the
latest
data
from
the
health
department,
minneapolis
is
at
18
cases
per
100
000
compared
to
about
11
cases
per
100
000
for
the
state.
This
is
up.
It
was
previously
around
nine
or
ten,
and
so
we
have
definitely
had
seen
an
uptick
on
that
front
over
the
last
month
or
so,
and
so
these
numbers
put
both
minneapolis
and
minnesota
in
the
orange
category,
which
represents
some
form
of
accelerated,
spread,
congregate.
Living
facilities
in
minneapolis
continue
to
see
new
cases,
I'm
not
going
to
dive
in
too
deeply
on.
J
On
that
front,
they
account
for
about
71
percent
of
covet
19
deaths
as
a
percentage.
That's
down
slightly.
It
used
to
be
around
82
percent
for
contact
tracing.
The
health
department
is
conducting
over
50
cases,
investigations
and
contact
follow-ups
for
individuals
diagnosed
with
covet
19
per
day,
and
currently
there
are
26
investigators,
including
six
non-mhd
enterprise
staff
of
the
6751
cases
in
minneapolis.
85
percent
have
been
interviewed.
J
J
J
The
health
department's
long-term
care
team
supported
baseline
testing
at
the
minneapolis
public
housing
authority's
heritage
heritage
park
site
for
their
assisted
living
residents.
On
july
23rd
for
ppe,
the
health
department
is
assisting
with
a
joint
business
recovery
effort
to
distribute
five
hundred
thousand
max
masks,
which
were
provided
by
the
state
to
businesses,
prioritizing
distribution
to
buy
pocket
owned
businesses
and
those
located
in
bypa
communities.
J
I
was
out
there
yesterday
distributing
masks
as
well
both
to
the
north
side,
as
well
as
the
carmel
mall
on
the
south
side,
and-
and
you
know,
I
was
actually
very
pleased
to
see
that
in
all
locations,
people
were
in
fact
wearing
masks.
J
As
for
procurement,
as
of
july
29th,
there
has
been
five
million.
Forty
seven
thousand
six
hundred
thirty
nine
spent
as
a
total,
is
about
four
thousand
two
hundred
increase
and
can
be
attributed
to
purchase
of
isolation,
gowns
and,
as
I
often
state
this
is
not
the
total
spend
related
to
covet
19
that
the
spend
is
in
the
tens
of
millions.
J
For
public
safety,
violent
crime
is
up
about
17,
year-to-date
and
property
crimes
are
up
3.1
percent
year.
To
date,
there
were
segments
of
the
year
in
certain
precincts
where
we
had
previously
seen
downturns
in
crime.
Much
of
that
was
related
to
covet
19
and
the
lack
of
activity
in
those
respective
areas.
But
yes,
we
have
seen
upticks.
J
K
J
J
So
there's
a
number
of
other
statistics
that
we
can
get
you
the
the
two-year
percentage
change
is,
is
up
105,
that's
with
respect
to
shooting
victims
for
mpd
strategic
analysis
group
we've
compared
several
periods
for
response
time,
analysis
from
2019
and
2020
data.
The
most
significant
difference
that
we've
seen
is
in
response
times
for
priority,
one
and
and
prior
to
zero
calls
with
an
increase
of
1.56
minutes
from
when
a
call
was
assigned
to
first
squad
arrival.
D
Thank
you,
mr
president.
Yeah
mayor.
I
just
wanted
to
follow
up
on
that.
Maybe
these
are
questions
for
the
chief.
I
think
I
appreciate
the
statistics,
but
it'd
be
helpful
to
know
what
what's
going
on.
You
know
what
is
is
the
chief
doing
in
response
to
this
increase
in
crime?
I
think
it's
also
important
to
appreciate
the
numbers
you
gave
about
the
increase
in
response
time,
but
I'm
I'm
also
getting
reports
that
calls
are
not
being
answered,
calls
are
not
being
answered
and
that
that's
extremely
distressing,
I'm
a
constituent.
J
Yes,
I
I
can
turn
it
over
to
the
chief.
If
he
is
there,
you
know
we
we
do
have.
There
is
an
impact
when
there
is
a
decline
in
the
numbers
we
have
on
the
force,
and
that
is
true
right
now,
given
some
of
the
resignations
that
we've
seen
I'll,
let
the
chief
speak
to
it
further,
but
you
know
we
are
doing
everything
possible
to
make
sure
that
we
increase
times,
but
but
there
is
an
impact
and
you're
seeing
in
the
numbers.
J
J
J
Okay
yeah,
so
we
can
get
you
additional
information,
but
I
have
spoken
to
the
chief
about
this
and
you
know
we
we
are
even
looking
at
re,
locating
even
different
divisions,
so
that
we
can
further
respond
to
some
of
these
different
divisions
within
mpd,
so
that
we
can
further
respond
to
both
9-1-1
call
as
well
as
law
enforcement
issues.
L
D
Well,
thank
you,
mr
mayor.
I
think,
in
addition
to
just
knowing
the
the
crime
numbers-
and
I
mean
it's
one
thing-
to
have
a
reduction
in
staff,
what
would
be
helpful
to
know
is
how
many
arrests
are
happening
like
how
is
the
actual
crime
fighting
going,
because
I
mean
I've.
We've
seen
all
the
statistics
on
the
crime,
but
we
have
a
department
that
is
paid
for
by
taxpayers
to
take
care
to
work
on
that
and,
if
that's
become
an
issue
we'd
like
to
know
why
and
what?
D
J
Council
member
we're
happy
to
provide
you
the
analysis,
it's
important
that
we
actually
review
the
numbers.
In
that
analysis,
though,
we
can't
be
just
dismissing
numbers
off
hand.
At
this
point,
we
need
to
be
looking
at
the
data
and
actually
listening
to
it,
and
the
data
is
very
clear.
Additionally,
we
will
get
your
numbers
on
the
arrest,
because
number
of
rests
have
been
made
regarding
several
of
the
most
recent
shootings
regarding
several
of
the
most
significant
issues
of
of
violent
crime,
and
we
would
be
happy
to
get
you
information
on
those
as
well.
J
Arrests
are
being
made
in
those
categories:
there's
a
partnership
with
our
u.s
attorney's
office
as
well
as
well
as
several
different
federal
agencies
to
make
sure
that
that
investigations
can
take
place,
and
we
can
have
as
many
individuals
responding
to
these
calls
as
possible.
The
more
people
we
have
investigating
then
the
the
week,
the
more
we
can
divert
to
actually
response
time,
and
so
that's,
ultimately
the
impact.
J
J
I'll
also
note
that
you
know
overtime
becomes
an
issue
as
well
in
order
to
make
sure
that
we
have
the
right
number
of
people
on
duty
when
those
who
are
not
there,
if,
if
there
are
individuals
who
are
not
there
for
one
reason
or
another,
other
people
need
to
cover
and
thus
over
time
increase,
thus
increasing
the
cost
and
we're
seeing
that
as
well
so
for
38th
in
chicago.
The
city
continues
to
engage
with
the
community
at
38th
and
chicago
working
with
multiple
neighborhoods,
so
organizations
and
businesses,
as
well
as
on-site
meetings.
A
E
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
want
to
go
back
to
what
councilmember
schroeder
and
the
mayor
were
discussing
around
really
the
trends
and
statistics,
because
I
heard
that
in
this
conversation
that
there
are
problems
with
response
time
and
respond
to
9-1-1
calls.
E
Yet
I
talked
with
inspector
mcginty
who's
in
charge
of
the
third
precinct
just
the
other
day,
and
he
said
that
they
are
fully
staffed
for
911
calls
in
the
patrol
function
in
that,
yes,
there
have
been
impacts
from
resignations
or
from
the
ptsd
claims,
and
that's
manifested
itself
in
the
chief
pulling
officers
off
of
some
non-patrol
functions,
but
he
told
me
that
we
were
staffed
up
just
as
much
as
before
george
floyd's
murder
and
that
were
essentially
from
a
911
response.
E
Standpoint
operating
as
we
normally
would-
and
this
is
really
this
ties
into
my
concern
and
actually
why
I
supported
moving
the
management
for
the
pio
role
is
because
the
public
needs
information
on
this.
We
need
the
clarity
it
seems
like
right
now.
There
is
confusion
over
what
the
response
times
are.
E
What
patrol
looks
like
in
the
staffing
levels-
and
I
just
want
to
get
that
out
there
for
the
public,
because
I
don't
think
that's
helpful
when
we're
hearing
from
an
mpd
leader.
You
know
that
hey
it's
fully
staffed
in
one
area,
but
then
we're
hearing
publicly
that
there
are
problems
with
responding
to
9-1-1
calls.
So
I
think
the
public
really
needs
clarity.
I'm
hoping
the
mayor.
E
The
chief
can
clear
this
up
and
my
request
would
be
that
we
have
data
that
is
made
publicly
available
around
this
around
the
staffing
levels
that
it
can
live
on
the
website
or
we
can
have
something
that's
kept
up
to
date
so
that
we
can
direct
the
public
to
it
where
it
has
numbers.
It
has
figures.
E
It
has
context
around
this
because
I
think
a
lot
of
people
are
concerned
by
unfortunately
with
social
media,
especially
these
days
a
lot
of
rumor
and
innuendo,
and
you
know
we
do
face
real
challenges
around
staffing
and
around
crime,
but
we
need,
in
the
public,
needs
context
around
that,
so
that
they
can
make
their
own
decisions
on
how
to
interpret
what's
happening.
J
Madam
president,
councilmember
johnson
transparency
is
of
the
utmost
importance
and
that's
why
we
have
a
fully
transparent
dashboard
where
everybody
can
see
the
exact
same
numbers.
There
isn't
a
lack
of
clarity
right
now.
It's
exceedingly
clear.
The
numbers
are
there
for
you
to
look
at.
We
will
share
every
single
one
of
them
with
you.
The
piece
is
that
you
can't
ignore
the
numbers
they're.
J
Members,
the
numbers
are
the
same,
whether
they're
being
reported
from
the
mpd
or
through
communications.
There's
no
difference
there
and,
in
fact,
if
you
want
communications
to
confirm
the
numbers
that
the
mpd
has
put
out,
we
can
do
that
as
well.
I
believe
the
chief
ardando
is
going
to
get
on
a
second
here
that
he
can
perhaps
further
clarify.
E
E
Yeah
and
we
don't
have
staffing
numbers
on
the
dashboard
either,
and
so
these
are
some
of
the
pieces.
Even
on
shootings,
we
don't
have
a
specific
numbers
for
shootings.
What
we
have
is
a
crime
map
with
shots
fired
on
it,
but
we
don't
actually
have
those
numbers
related
to,
for
instance,
shootings
on
the
mpd
crime
dashboard.
It's
not
at
that
level
of
granularity.
J
Yeah
and
we,
our
level
of
granularity,
matches
almost
any
other
city
out
there
right
now.
We
are
constantly
increasing
transparency
to
make
sure
that
we've
got
it,
but
there's
not
another
city
in
the
state
of
minnesota
that
has
this
kind
of
both
definition
as
well
as
specificity
in
the
data
that
is
publicly
available.
We
need
to
continue
to
increase
that
transparency,
and
we
will,
I
know
chief
redondo
is
committed
to
it,
but
the
their
numbers
aren't
different
depending
on
who's
stating
them.
J
The
numbers
are
the
numbers,
and
so
I
reject
the
notion
that
that
there's
some
form
of
lack
of
clarity.
I
understand
that
at
times
you,
you
know
things
have
an
uptick
in
crime.
I
understand
that
we
are
seeing
that
right
now,
we're
seeing
it
whether
you
want
to
acknowledge
it
or
not.
E
And
I
absolutely
acknowledge
it,
mr
mayor,
that
we
are
having
crime
increased
in
a
number
of
categories,
we're
seeing
a
decrease
in
other
categories
and
overall
violent
crime
is
up.
I
I
make
no
disagreement
about
that,
but
I
do
believe
when
the
narrative
or
the
stories
that
the
public
is
seeing
is
around
gun
violence,
gunshots,
that
we
have
an
obligation
to
actually
put
out
the
numbers
and
the
data
at
that
level
on
what
are
the
numbers
of
gunshots.
E
I
think
we
have
a
responsibility
to
do
that
and
to
be
more
transparent.
I
don't
want
to
just
say
we're
doing
as
well
of
getting
data
out
or
we're
only
getting
as
much
data
out
as
other
departments.
I
want
us
to
be
as
transparent
as
possible
and
get
even
more
data
out,
and
so
that's
really
my
request.
I'm
not
trying
to
you
know
publicly.
J
So
fair
point:
let's
get
that
data
on
the
dashboard.
To
the
extent
we
are
able
to.
I
didn't
read
all
of
the
data,
because
I
was
trying
to
expedite
it
here,
but
let
me
go
into
each
one
of
them
because
I
agree.
We
need
to
make
sure
that
this
is
accurate.
We
need
to
make
sure
that
we're
all
operating
off
the
same
data
so
year
to
date,
2020
still
has
the
highest
shooting
victim
total
in
the
last
five
years
with
288
victims,
the
next
closest
is
2016
with
178..
J
J
Additionally,
there
was
a
strategic
analysis
done
over
three
time
periods
for
response
time,
analysis
for
2029,
2019
and
2020
data.
The
most
significant
difference,
as
I
mentioned,
was
in
response
times
for
priority
one
and
priority
zero
calls.
That
was
an
increase
of
1.56
minutes
from
when
a
call
was
assigned
to
the
first
squad
that
was
delivered,
there's
an
additional
3.86
minute
increase
for
that
same
time
period
for
the
average
time
when
a
call
was
entered
into
the
queue
and
squad
arrival.
J
Those
are
the
data
points
that
we
have
on
that
front.
If
there
are
other
data
points,
specific
data
points
that
are
requested,
we
will
happily
get
them
to
you.
We
want
to
be
as
transparent
as
possible.
We
need
to
be
looking
at
the
numbers
here
and
I
think
that
none
of
us
should
be
hiding
from
them.
We
should
acknowledge
the
truth.
A
And
as
we
wait
for
chief
erdogan,
I
just
want
to
say
I
haven't
heard
any
council
member
say
anything
about
disputing
the
numbers
mayor.
I
think
they're
just
asking
for
clarifying
questions,
because
they're
hearing
different
things
when
they
call
their
precinct
inspectors
than
what
is
being
talked
about
publicly
around
staffing
levels.
So
I
think
that
was
the
question
that
councilmember,
schrader
and
johnson
were
both
asking
and
also
there's
some
notes
about
it
in
the
chat.
L
Yeah,
yes,
my
apologies
about
that.
So,
if
I
could
just
respond
to
a
couple
of
those,
so
one
is
that,
as
the
merits
stated,
those
numbers
those
numbers
are
excuse
me.
Those
numbers
are
correct.
However,
this
there's
also
going
to
be
some
things
in
terms
of
nuance
that
might
relate
to
why
some
constituents,
perhaps
maybe
in
terms
of
the
response,
calls,
is
it
one
of
the
things
that's
going
to
be
very
unique
is
why
we
are
dealing
with
this
uptick
in
crime,
particularly
the
gun,
violence,
violence.
L
Those
calls
are
naturally
going
to
draw
more
resources
and
oftentimes,
perhaps
more
resources
from
even
different
departments,
so
that
in
and
of
itself
is
going
to
perhaps
at
times
some
community
members
are
going
to
feel
that
their
calls
are
being
slow
to
respond
to.
When
we
have
to
you
know,
a
shooting
scene
and
of
itself
can
can
certainly
draw
in
a
lot
of
resources
and
again
dispatch
is
going
to
have
to
re-prioritize
some
of
those
calls.
L
So
so
that
is
one
of
the
things
we
are,
as
the
council
members
had
mentioned
in
speaking
with
their
inspectors.
Regarding
comments
that
they've
made
about
their
staffing
levels,
I
would
certainly
agree
with
those
inspectors.
L
I
have
made
some
intentional
moves
to
look
at
certain
units
that
we've
had
in
the
police
department
that
were
not
traditionally
911
response,
calls
and
redeploying
some
of
those
units
to
make
sure
that
we
have
the
the
staffing
that
those
precincts
need
to
help
in
their
their
day-to-day
call
loads.
So
I
hope
that
that
also
sheds
some
context
to
the
question.
A
So,
for
example,
it
seems
to
me
anecdotally,
at
least
that
bar
close
is
different
now,
because
so
many
bars
are
closed,
and
so
you
know
and
we're
seeing
different
patterns
of
criminal
activity
and
violence
around
the
city,
so
just
to
get
some
more
of
that
context,
so
that
we
can
share
it
more
accurately
with
our
constituents.
I
think,
would
be
really
helpful.
A
G
The
experience
of
my
constituents
does
not
align
with
those
numbers,
so
I
understand
that
you
can't
dispute
the
data
and
and
what
not.
But
I
will
say
that
I
have
heard
from
an
overwhelming
amount
of
constituents
in
the
fourth
ward,
who
have
not
had
a
police
response
to
gun
violence,
and
I
am
hearing
this
because
they're
so
frustrated
by
it.
G
So
and
it's
at
this
point-
it's
it's
not
anomalous
like
this
is
a
very
frequent
complaint
that
I'm
getting
also
when
people
call
the
fourth
precinct
to
ask
why
it's
taking
so
long
as
well
as
other
units
that
may
come
to
specific
scenes.
They
are
telling
my
constituents
that
they
should
contact
me
so
that
so
that
I
am
hearing
so
that
essentially
reading
between
the
lines
that
it's
it's
my
fault
as
a
council
member,
that
they
are
not
responding
in
a
timely
manner
or
at
all.
G
So
this
is
also
a
frequent
report
back
that
I'm
getting
from
my
constituents.
I
think
it's
that's
noteworthy
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
say
that
publicly,
so
that
it's
not
just
something
that
I
have
to
hold
as
an
elected
official.
But
for
for
folks
to
understand
that
this
is
the
dynamic
that's
also
at
play,
I
I
want
to.
We
talk
a
lot
about
the
uptick
in
violence,
but
we
never
talk
about
why?
So
I
want
to
ask:
why
are
we
seeing
this
uptick
in
violence?
G
J
Madam
president,
councilmember
cunningham
first,
I
I
agree
with
you.
I
agree
with
you
that
that
these
are
significant
issues
and
there
are
instances
when
response
times
are
too
long,
we're
in
full
agreement
there
and
I'll
pass
it
to
the
chief,
who
can
perhaps
provide
some
more
expertise
into
the
reasons
why
it's
the
confluence
of
so
many
different
things
right
now.
It's
it's
a
global
pandemic.
It's
the
killing
of
george
floyd.
It's
the
subsequent
unrest.
It's
the
economic
downturn,
it's
unemployment,
it's
psychological
factors.
It's
it's
mental
health
and
distress.
J
It's
a
lack
of
housing
opportunities.
It
is
so
many
things
that
ultimately
compound
what
we
are
seeing
right
now
and
we
know
from
history
as
well
as
what's
happening
throughout
the
nation,
that,
following
instances
of
unrest,
there
often
are
upticks
in
crime
and
violence.
L
L
We
continue,
we
have
for
the
past
five
years.
We
tend
to
recover
more
guns
each
and
every
year
I
believe
last
we
will.
We
will
break
last
year's
record
in
2019
we're
on
pace
to
absolutely
break
that
record.
We
have
recently
been
making
arrests
where
individuals
are
selling
high-velocity
high-powered
guns
from
their
trunks
of
their
cars.
We
obviously
the
task
force
that
we
are
teamed
up
with,
that
the
u.s
attorney's
office
is
also
handling
in
terms
of
the
prosecution
of
of
the
violent
offenders.
L
We're
you
know
we're
still
making
arrests
in
those
cases
as
well,
but
it's
it's.
A
combination
of
everything
this
is
this
year
has
been
unique
as
some
of
the
the
factors
that
the
mayor
have
mentioned,
and
you
know
when
we
have
people
in
in
social
conditions
that
are
feeling
stressed
feeling
hopeless.
L
These
are
all
going
to
be
underlying
factors.
It
will
at
times
increase
to
the
the
violence,
and
so
we
are
doing
our
best,
certainly
to
try
to
prevent
mitigate
customer
cunningham.
L
Your
teams
have
been
clearly
over
the
last
several
years,
been
helpful
in
trying
to
also
help
with
getting
folks
some
opportunities
so
that
if
they
had
been
involved
in
groups
to
put
down
the
guns
to
to
get
some
social
services,
but
but
clearly,
2020
has
has
created
some
dynamics
that
we
have
never
experienced
before
in
this
city,
but
we're
trying
to
do
our
best
to
prevent
and
mitigate
those
violent
crimes
from
occurring.
G
I
I
think
that
it's
really
important
for
us
to
name
the
complexity
of
the
underlying
causes
right
and
that
it's
gonna
take
a
multi,
pronged
approach
to
be
able
to
address
this,
really
reiterating
the
point
that,
like
we
can't
just
arrest
our
way
out
of
it
right
like,
of
course,
we
have
to
hold
folks
accountable,
we're
causing
harm
100
percent,
but
we're
also
talking,
I
mean
home,
like
housing,
instability
came
up,
unemployment
came
up
like
these
are
all
additional
factors
that
are
outside
the
purview
of
the
police
department,
and
so
I
think
that
when
we
talk
about
public
safety,
we
have
to
be
cognizant
of.
G
How
are
we
addressing
these
underlying
issues
as
well
as
in
addition
to
the
immediacy
of
the
guns
being
shot?
So
you
know
I'm
glad.
You
know
that
we
have
the
task
force
and
that
was
brought
up
as
as
a
way
that
we
are
addressing
this
uptick
in
violence.
I
do
have
one
follow-up
question
and
then
one
one
last
comment,
so
the
task
force
was
brought
up.
I'm
curious
about
what
what
else
is
being
done
to
address
the
uptick
in
violence.
L
Madam
president,
councilmember
cunningham,
so
the
task
force
is,
is
one
piece.
Obviously
they
are
they're
focused
on
more
of
the
intelligence
and
then
federal
prosecutions
to
holding
those
folks
who
are
keeping
violence
in
our
communities
accountable.
L
We,
we
also
have
a
strategic
group
of
investigators,
folks
who
are
out
there
in
our
communities
who,
through
their
intelligence,
are,
are
going
after
those
individuals
who
are
committing
the
gun.
Violence
they've
been
out
there
over
the
last
several
weeks,
they've
been
when
they
were
getting
reports
or
or
following
up
on
complaints
from
community
members
of
gun,
violence,
they're
they're
out
there
and
they're
they're,
making
arrests
matter
of
fact.
I
got
reports
from
from
last
night
that
they
seized
guns
a
couple
of
weeks
ago.
L
They
seized
over
25
guns
throughout
our
city,
so
we've
got
that
working
as
well
combination
of
working
with
our
community
advocates
who
who
also,
who
want
to
see
and
work
with
trying
to
reduce
the
the
violence
in
our
communities
gvi,
as
you
are
fully
aware
of
councilmember
that
continues
to
play
an
important
role
in
this
year.
So
there's
a
lot
of
these
things
happening
throughout
our
city,
we'll
continue
to
to
work
on
that.
L
Obviously
we're
working
through
working
with
our
other
partners,
both
local
state
and
county
probation
services
and
others,
to
try
to
address
this.
So
there's
a
there's,
there's
a
lot
of
different
avenues
that
we're
utilizing
to
help
kind
of
work.
G
Great,
thank
you
and
then
my
my
last
point
that
I
would
just
like
to
make
so
well.
First
I'll
just
say
I
I
appreciate
the
the
naming
of
what
is
being
done.
I
do
think
it's
helpful
for
us
to
know
so
that
we
can
communicate
that
to
our
constituents.
You
know
obviously,
like
I'm,
I'm
working
on
a
lot
of
things.
G
This
is,
I
mean
violence,
there's
just
so
much
activity
happening,
even
in
the
neighborhood
that
I
live
in,
let
alone
the
north
side
overall
and
so
but
being
able
to
have.
G
Being
able
to
be
partnered
together
so
that
we
can
communicate
to
folks
who
are
impacted,
I
think,
would
be
really
helpful.
G
So
so
there's
that
and
then
the
last
thing
that
I'll
say
is
that
you
know
we've
been
doing
these
reports
for
a
while
now
and
they
haven't
said
anything
because
you
know
it's
just
kind
of
like
we
got.
We
got
other
things,
but
I
just
want
to
name
that
I
am
a
little
bit
troubled
that
public
safety
doesn't
include
the
office
of
violence
prevention
like
getting
updates
about
what
they're
doing
and
their
role
in
this.
When
we
talk
about
public
safety,
they
are
working
around
the
clock.
G
In
addition,
in
addition
to
in
collaboration
with
mpd,
and
so
I
just
think
that
when
we
get
these
report
backs,
I
would
like
to
be
able
to
have
for
the
public
record
and
an
understanding
understanding
to
be
able
to
more
clearly
lay
out
what
the
office
of
violence
prevention's
role
is
in
public
safety.
It's
why
they
exist
they're
working
around
the
clock.
People
call
on
them
all
of
the
time
to
be
responding
to
this
uptick
in
violence,
for
example.
G
So
so
I
would
just
ask
for
consideration
of
including
what
the
office
of
violence
prevention
is
doing
during
these
times
when,
when
discussing
public
safety.
Thank
you
mayor
and
thank
you
chief.
L
Madam
president,
to
come,
cunningham
absolutely
and
I
I
I
should
absolutely
try
to
continue
to
uplift
the
wonderful
work
through
director
cotton,
whether
it's
mother's
love,
whether
it's
mad
dads,
certainly
mr
peron,
all
of
his
teams
and
you're
right.
We
absolutely
call
on
them
all
the
time
they
have
done
so
much
tremendous
important
work
and
not
only
trying
to
mitigate
the
crime
that
we
experience.
L
Our
communities
but
they've
also
turned
lives
around
and-
and
I
I
can't
say
enough
about
that-
and
so
while
I
am
remiss,
I
did
not
say
that
here
on
the
call,
I
will
say
that
every
opportunity
I
get,
I
do
try
to
make
sure
that
our
communities
know
the
great
work
that
they
do.
D
Thank
you,
madam
president,
mr
mayor
and
chief
just
has
kind
of
some
follow-up.
I
just
really
want
to
make
sure
that
the
point
is
out
there
that
my
my
constituents
are
extremely
frustrated
with
how
public
safety
is
going
right
now
and
also
they're
just
frustrated
about
how
how
work
how
it's
being
talked
about
in
the
city,
like,
I
think
we
we
have
the
dashboard
like
mr
nolan,
is
trying
to
say
to
not
look
at
the
numbers,
I'm
I'm
asking
to
look
at
the
extra
numbers.
D
You
know
to
not
just
talk
about
how
bad
the
problem
is.
That
has
gotten
out
loud
and
clear.
We've
gotten
a
lot
of
emails
about
just
uptick
in
crime.
People
know
about
that.
What
they
don't
know
about
is
what's
being
done
about
it,
what
are
their
like?
How
are
their
tax
dollars
being
used
in
one
of
the
largest
departments
in
the
city?
To
do
that,
I
appreciate
the
chief.
I
appreciate
the
the
questions
from
councilmember
cunningham.
D
Like
he
said,
I
mean
it
really
helps
for
our
constituents
to
know
the
specifics
of
what's
going
on
because
so
far
the
conversation
really
has
flipped
back
to
well.
We
need
more
cops
and-
and
that
is
just
such
an
unsatisfying
answer-
it
may
be
part
of
the
answer,
but
they
my
constituents
and
we
all
need
just
so
much
more
context
around
that
I
mean
it's
just
like
basically
saying
well.
D
If
we
had
more
snowplows
we'd
be
done,
plowing
the
snow
quicker
like
no
kidding,
that's
exactly
what
would
happen,
but
we
need
to
know
like
what
how
many
officers
we
have
the
number
of
arrests
that
are
happening.
How
long
are
cases
taking?
Is
there
an
uptick?
Are
things
taking
longer?
That
kind
of
specifics
are
what
gonna
are
gonna
help
policy
makers?
J
Madam
president,
council
member
schrader,
so
there
were
several
questions
there.
I
I
think
it
is
fair
to
ask
for
specific
answers.
I
also
think
it's
fair
to
ask
for
specific
questions,
and
so,
let's,
if
we
can
get
those
specific
questions,
then
we
can
answer
them.
One
of
them
was,
is
you
just
asked?
Is
there
an
uptick
there
is,
one
of
them
is:
are
things
taking
longer?
They
are
not
by
a
dramatic
amount,
but
by
I
gave
you
the
number
of
minutes.
Just
previously
there
were
a
couple
of
other
questions.
J
You
asked
how
many
arrests
are
being
made,
those
numbers
we
can
certainly
get
you
if
there
are
other
specifics
that
I
missed.
Please
please
ask
we
want
to
give
you
the
information,
but
there
needs
to
be
specific
information
that
we're
responding
to.
So
are
there
other
specifics,
council
members
that
we
can
answer
for
you.
D
Oh
sure
I
can,
I
can
mention
them
again.
I
mean
it's
really
around
the
context
of
what
we're
doing.
Chief
rondo
really
mentioned
a
couple
of
them.
The
work
of
the
task
force
that
work
around
the
the
specific
arrests
around
the
carjackings,
as
well
as
the
high
power
a
little
bit
more
around
the
cases.
If
they're
taking
taking
longer
any
any
data,
that's
going
to
be
able
to
show
what
mpd
is
doing.
You
know
and
what
they're
doing
in
response
to
this
uptick
in
crime.
J
Okay,
I
just
want
to
make
sure
I've
got
this
so
carjackings
we
have.
We
can
easily
get
that
information.
That's
no
problem!
You
said
how
long
the
cases
are
taking
to
get
responded
to.
I
assume
you
mean
to
complete
through
an
investigation.
That's
correct!
Okay,
so
I
don't
know
that
offhand,
the
the
number
of
days
that
it
takes
to
to
go
through
an
investigation,
but
chief,
is
that
information
that
we
have.
F
L
President
to
council
member
schroeder-
yes,
we
can,
we
can
give
you
a
basically
a
guideline
of
how
long
it
a
certain
case
which
would
take
to
typically,
for
example,
we
could
try
to
get
an
average
in
terms
of
a
robbery
case,
for
example,
from
the
start
of
the
being
assigned
to
an
investigator
to
it
being
presented
to
the
county
attorney's
office.
We
could
try
to.
We
could
try
to
get
you
some
timelines
on
on
what
that
looks
like.
L
We
can
also
try
to
get
some
some
data
as
it
relates
to
which
I
think
is
important.
Our
communities
have
expressed
this
certainly
to
me
in
the
past,
when
officers
have
excuse
me
when
investigators
have
brought
cases
forward
for
charging
and
even
when
the
individual
has
been
convicted
when
they're
released
back
when
they
have
recommitted
for
same
or
similar
types
of
violent
crime,
too,
I
think
sometimes
communities
may
have.
Even
your
constituents
have
expressed
this
to
you,
that
they
know
of
an
individual
in
a
community
has
caused
harm.
L
D
Well,
thank
thank
you
chief,
I
don't
know,
and
that
that's
exactly
it
I
I
think
it
is
not
just
these
specific
questions
but
really
being
able
to
say
to
the
public
here
is
what
we
are
doing
in
response
to
the
uptick
in
crime.
Here
is
how
we
are
assessing
the
problem
to
get
back
to
some
other
council
members
questions.
D
You
know,
here's
what
we
see
as
the
cause,
here's,
how
we're
addressing
that
cause
and
here's
how
we're
going
to
do
that
in
the
future
to
make
sure
that
we'd
reduce
crime
and
to
make
sure
that
the
you
know
this
summer
gets
better.
So
I
think
any
data
around
that
to
be
able
to
tell
that
story
would
be
extremely
helpful.
J
So,
let's
get
them
as
chief,
let's
get
them
as
much
data
and
information
as
possible.
So
I
would
request
that
the
and
I
don't
have
the
ability
to
insist
upon,
obviously,
but
I
would
request
that
the
council
have
a
meeting
where
there's
a
presentation
from
the
chief
and
probably
our
our
director
kathy
hughes
from
from
9-1-1.
J
They
can
provide
some
additional
information
and
answer
any
of
the
questions
that
you
may
have.
I
don't
have
all
of
it
right
now
before
my
fingertips,
but
we
want
to
make
sure
that
you're
able
to
ask
specific
questions
and
get
specific
answers
to
it.
A
Thank
you
mayor.
I
think
that
fits
in
with
the
conversation
about
having
having
the
chief
app
pogo
as
well.
Although
you
know,
I
think
what
I
hear
my
con.
My
colleagues
kind
of
observing
is
that
you
know
when
the
health
department
comes
and
talks
about
kovid.
A
Of
course,
they're
talking
about
the
problem
that
this
pandemic
is
presenting
to
our
community,
but
they're
also
presenting
the
solutions
that
they're
bringing
forward
to
help
stem
the
spread
of
covid,
and
you
know
so,
you
could
go
kind
of
department
by
department
and
talk
about
the
different
examples
that
we're
kind
of
used
to
hearing
about
how
we're
tackling
a
particular
problem
in
our
community.
So
what
I
hear
my
colleagues
observing
and
requesting
is
that
kind
of
similar
approach
to
these
crimes,
and
particularly
the
violent
crime.
That's
happening
is
just
understanding.
A
Yes,
the
problem,
but
also
hearing
more
about
the
solutions
that
we're
pursuing
as
a
city
knowing
that
they're
complex
and
they
take
resources
and
they're
interwoven
with
lots
of
different
other
issues
that
I
think
the
chief
has
always
in
his
role
been
very
clear
about
that.
That
mpd
is
always
working
with
many
other
community
partners
and
many
other
parts
of
the
enterprise
to
work
to
keep
people
safe.
So
I
hear
my
colleagues
asking
for
more
information
about
those
measures
that
we're
taking
to
support
and
provide
safety
for
the
residents
of
our
city.
Councilmember
right.
C
C
We
need
to
have
a
multifaceted
approach,
both
external
to
the
department
and,
of
course,
internal,
and
on
that
point
I
think,
raising
our
partnership
that
we
have
out
there
doing
very
impactful
interventions
for
office
of
crime
prevention,
but
we
also
have
internal
more
internal
to
mpd,
some
things
that
that
are
playing
into
our
ability
to
keep
our
staffing
levels
up
for
three
shifts
or
patrols.
C
C
So
if
we
have
b
officers
that
do
a
unique
sort
of
approach
within
the
community,
in
the
name
of
crime
prevention,
shifting
into
patrol
cert
teams
shifting
into
patrol
all
to
keep
numbers
flat,
there
must
be
some
kind
of
impact
that
that
would
incur
assuming
that
those
interventions
and
tactics
and
personnel
trying
to
do
specific
things
would
be
not
part
of
the
mix,
as
it
were.
So
maybe
there's
a
comment
that
could
happen
now,
but
certainly
as
we
move
forward
trying
to
manage
staff
levels
and
crime
levels
that
interface
between
those
two
numbers.
C
To
think
about
these
other
interventions
that
we've
developed
over
the
years
that
have
very
specific
impacts
that
I
think
are
important
to
the
overall
mix
and
to
just
understand
those
trade-offs.
So
I
leave
that
open.
There
might
be
a
comment
from
the
chief
for
now,
but
certainly
that
could
be
a
conversation
moving
forward
and
thank
you,
madam
president,.
L
When
I
look
at
placing
some
of
those
units,
the
traditional
9-1-1
response
units
back
into
those
precincts
is
trying
to
do
my
best
to
keep
a
compliment,
or
at
least
a
core
complement
of
the
of
that
personnel,
and
that
talent
and
skill
set
that's
really
from
the
leadership,
so
that
that
is
still
retained
there,
that
that
and
there's
nothing
that
doesn't
prevent
the
precinct
inspectors
that,
certainly,
if
their
supervisors
have
that
staffing
level
within
that
shift,
for
example,
to
even
conduct
details
with
with
certain
officers
on
that
shift
to
to
still
do
some
of
that
same
or
similar
type
of
work
that
had
occurred.
L
So
just
an
example
for
if
fourth
precinct,
or
in
your
case
second
increasing
cert,
had
members
that
were
still
associated
with
the
ship.
If
there's
enough
staff
that
day,
they
could
still,
certainly
if
they
have
intelligence
or
information
about
other
types
of
crimes
that
are
occurring.
L
F
You,
madam
president,
and
this
is
for
chieftain
dondo-
I
am
hearing
from
from
my
constituents
and-
and
I
see
that
the
mayor
has
38th
in
chicago
on
his
public
safety
report,
which
we
have
not.
L
F
Yet,
but
but
particularly
in
this
area,
people
are
saying
that
they're
they're
not
experiencing
slow
response
they're
experiencing
no
response.
F
They're
being
told
that
this
is
called
a
no-go
zone
by
mpd
when
they,
when
they
call
the
police
or
when
there
is
an
emergency,
help
situation
that
they
have
to
meet
with
the
officers
blocks
away
from
where
the
incident
is
occurring.
That
police
are
not
responding
to
their
their
calls
at
all
and.
F
And
I
I
can't
believe
it,
but
I'm
hearing
it
so
often
that
it
it's
it's
got
to
be
true,
it's
coming
from
so
many
different
places.
So
what
can
we
do
to
pull
this
area
back
into
the
city
process
that
they
deserve
the
same
level
of
service
that
everybody
else
gets
at
minimum,
a
slow
response,
but
we
should
be
having
responses
to
the
crime,
the
violence,
the
concerns
of
our
residents
equally
throughout
the
city
and
having
this
be
a
no-go
zone,
is
just
completely
unacceptable.
F
L
Madam
president,
to
council
vice
president
jenkins,
so
I
think
a
couple
of
things
so
so
so
one
is.
I
think
it
would
be
very
important
because
I've
heard
today,
I
think,
was
mentioned
before
by
a
council
member,
about
communities,
belief
and
understanding
that
when
officers
are
dispatched
to
a
9-1-1
call
that
officers
just
are
not
showing
up,
and
so
I
know
that
there
is
a
practice
and
protocol
in
place
that
that
officers
have
to
respond
to
those
calls
and
if
they're,
not
that
has
to
be
in
why
they
don't
respond.
L
That
has
to
be
documented
through
mecc.
So
I
think
it
would
be
for
transparency
for
our
community
members,
obviously
for
elected
officials.
If
director
hughes
could
provide
more
context
to
that
that
if
they've
got
data,
that
shows
a
call
was
placed
and
mpd
officers
just
flat
out
refused
to
respond,
and
so
I'd
like
to
know
that
as
well.
So
I
think
that
that
would
be
important
to
to
have
specific,
also
to
the
geographical
locations.
We're
talking
to.
L
I
know
that
in
and
around
that
intersection,
when
a
violent
incident
had
occurred,
that
in
order
for
officers
to
to
try
to
safely
get
in
there,
that
there
had
been
some
communication
if
they
could
meet
the
individual
right
outside
of
the
the
barriers.
I
know
there's
a
couple
of
incidents
where
that
occurred.
I
I
haven't
heard
of
that
happening
anytime
more
recently.
I
know
that
the
third
precinct
officers
responded
very
quickly
in
order
to
try
to
save
the
life.
L
It
was
right
around
37th
and
elliott
is
for
chicago
as
well,
but
but
no,
this
is
important
information,
but
I
do
believe
that
through
mecc
we
might
be
able
to
get
that
specific
data
about
if
officers
are
not
responding
to
timely,
more
calls.
But
I
have
not
again,
I
have
not
heard
from
mecc.
L
It
says
that
we
dispatch
calls
to
your
officers
and
they
just
refuse
to
to
show,
and
so,
but
again
I
think
having
that
data
would
be
important.
F
Can
we,
if,
if
miss
users
on
the
call,
can
we
get
that
those
data
reports
so
that
we
can
determine
what's
what's
going
on
and
and
whether
or
not
it
is
happening
it
it's
perceived
to
be
happening,
and
so
I
believe
that
we
need
to
have
some
conversations
that
involve
mpd
administration,
including
yourself,
chief
with
community
members,
to
to
discuss
these
issues.
F
As
has
has
already
been
noted
on
this
call,
we
need
to
have
regular,
updated
reports
to
our
committees
so
that
we
can
have
a
better
understanding
and
a
better
handle
on
these
situations.
So
I'm
hoping
that
that
is
going
to
become
a
part
of
our
process,
and
I
see
that
there
are
a
couple
of
other
people
who
want
to
respond
to
the
911.
A
I
Sure,
council
president
bender
comes
vice
president,
as
we've
discussed
previously.
I
think
if,
if
there
are
specific
situations
where
you
have
questions
about
9-1-1
calls,
then
we
are
happy
to
work
with
director
hughes
and
have
in
the
past
on
addressing
those
specific
questions
or
concerns
about
a
9-1-1
call.
I
I
think,
as
the
chief
mentioned
earlier
and
as
the
mayor
mentioned
earlier,
if
you
are
interested
in
general
statistics
which
also
exists
for
mecc
and
with
the
police
department,
then
I
think
direction
on
what
those
statistics
are
could
be
brought
to
a
poco
meeting
as
we
discussed
previously.
So
I
I
will
use
one
example.
I
Highlights
some
of
the
refinement
that's
necessary?
I
think.
Certainly,
there
have
been
911
calls
where
individuals
report
gunfire
in
their
neighborhood
and
are
asking
for
mpd
to
show
up
to
their
house
when
there
is
gunfire
in
their
neighborhood
and
the
response
back
is,
unless
you
see
gunfire
and
and
individuals
who
are
impacted
by
that
gunfire
in
front
of
your
house,
we're
not
going
to
respond
to
your
house,
but
we
are
responding
to
the
gunfire,
and
so
sometimes
residents
will
interpret.
I
That
is
that
mpd
is
not
responding
when
in
fact
they
are
responding
to
the
incident,
but
just
not
to
that
particular
address,
and
so
that's
an
example
of
some
of
the
frustration
and
understandable
frustration
that
we
hear
from
residents.
But
those
are
the
types
of
of
calls
where,
if
there
are
specific
cases,
we
can
certainly
go
back
and
look
at
those
of
those
cases
and
show
how
the
response
was
occurring
at
that
point
in
time.
F
F
F
A
All
right,
thank
you,
council.
Vice
president,
mr
ruff,
it
does
seem
like
we
need
to
do
some
follow-up
on
a
number
of
issues
regarding
9-1-1,
but
also
more
generally
here
with
the
questions
that
have
gone
to
the
mayor
and
chief
arredondo,
I
think
they're,
I'm
hearing
a
lot
of
different
scenarios
that
are
being
described
by
council
members,
all
of
which
probably
need
separate
and
different
kinds
of
follow-up
mrf.
I
don't
know
if
you
have
any
final
thoughts
or
we
could
leave
that.
I
For
some
reason,
and
just
want
you
to
know
that
these
are
these,
situations
are
utmost
concerned
for
staff
throughout
the
enterprise,
and
so
we'll
provide
not
only
information
but
our
best.
K
A
It
seems
to
me
too,
I'm
hearing
some
anecdotal
comments
about
things
that
our
constituents
are
hearing
when
they
call.
A
Cause
for-
and
I
I
think,
none
of
us
like
to
share
anecdotal
information
because
we
don't
want
to
extrapolate
from
you
know
a
few
conversations
we've
had,
but
I'm
I'm
starting
to
hear
more
and
more
from
my
own
constituents,
but
I
think
also
in
other
awards.
We're
hearing
folks
are
hearing
some
version
of
we're
not
coming
to
respond
to
a
9-1-1
call
for
various
reasons,
and
so
I
think
that
is
troubling
and
contributing
to
the
concern
around.
A
You
know
the
the
this
question,
this
sort
of
general
question
of
what's
going
on
here,
which
is
you
know
if,
if
folks
are
calling
911
and
hearing
we're,
not
sending
anyone
to
help
you,
that's
just
a
concerning
development,
and
so
I
think
it's
again
contributing
to
the
sort
of
general
kinds
of
questions
that
we're
hearing
today,
and
so
I
think,
there's
a
need
to
understand
more
about
the
staffing
issues.
There's
a
need
to
understand
how
the
different
patterns
of
you
know.
Activity
in
our
city
are
shifting.
A
You
know
less
bar
time
activity
more
daytime
activity
potentially
and
how
we're
adjusting
to
that,
and
if
there
are
any
barriers
that
we
need
to
address
together
to
adjust
those
things.
Our
response
is,
you
know
how
the
coordination
is
going
between
911
and
mpd,
and
the
office
of
violence,
prevention
and
others
in
the
city.
A
So
it
sounds
like
there's
a
lot
of
follow-up
to
do,
and
I
think
you
know
again
the
overall
theme
I'm
hearing
is
just
needing
to
have
more
of
an
update
during
this
time
in
these
presentations
about
not
just
what's
happening,
that's
concerning,
but
what
what
we're
doing
to
address
these
concerning
patterns.
J
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
I
I
do
think
it
would
be
really
helpful
to
get
a
full,
in-depth
analysis
and
presentation
in
one
of
these
committees.
You
know:
we've
we've
provided
sort
of
varying
levels
and
varying
amounts
of
information
on
public
safety
in
these
specific
presentations.
J
You
know,
I
think
public
safety
is
certainly
tangentially
related
to
covet
19,
but
it's
not
covet
19
direct
and
so
the
the
the
information
we've
provided,
obviously
is
not
comprehensive
in
this.
We
are
happy
to
provide
that
comprehensive
information
there
and
I
think
transparency
is
the
best
mode
right
now,
and
so,
let's
make
sure
we
get
that
out
and
to
the
extent
there
are
any
specific
questions.
Please
ask
we
will
get
that
information
with
regard
to
fire.
J
J
The
department
and
the
city
reached
agreement
on
a
letter,
a
letter
of
agreement
with
the
iaff
local
82
regarding
furloughs
to
address
them
and
the
2020
excuse
me
2020
budget
as
well,
and
we
appreciate
their
partnership
for
state
and
federal
activity.
There
is
a
lot
of
information
here.
I
I
might
skip
some
things,
but
I'm
happy
to
go
back
and
answer
additional
questions.
J
The
the
second
special
session
of
the
minnesota
legislature
adjourned
early
morning
last
tuesday,
while
the
house
and
senate
were
able
to
agree
upon
a
public
safety
reform
bill.
A
bonding
and
tax
bill
were
not
able
to
make
it
out
of
the
special
session.
Igr
anticipates
that
these
actions
to
be
raised
at
the
third
special
session,
which
is
slated
for
august
as
the
governor,
must
renew
his
emergency
powers
every
30
days.
J
A
specific
date
has
not
yet
been
determined.
As
for
the
federal
update
monday
evening,
the
united
states
senate
leadership
released
their
draft
plan
for
a
copa,
19
stimulus,
which
would
be
part
four.
The
draft
plan,
which
is
titled
the
heels
act,
provides
a
trillion
in
relief
one
trillion
in
relief
funding,
but
was
released
as
separate
bills.
This
gives
congress
the
option
of
passing
pieces
as
opposed
to
a
singular
package.
J
The
senate
will
now
begin
the
formal
negotiations
with
the
house,
which
released
a
and
passed
their
own
3.5
trillion
relief
plan.
The
heroes
act
which
is
back
in
may
and
the
senate
does
not
include
additional
funding
for
state
and
local
governments.
Again,
the
house
passed
the
heroes
act,
which
included
500
billion
for
states
and
375
billion
for
local
governments,
and
while
new
funds
are
not
included.
M
J
J
Let's
skip
forward
to
the
gap
funding
package
now
for
housing,
community
prevention,
partners,
mpha
and
city
and
county
staff
continue
to
work
through
the
list
that
we've
had
to
complete
the
full
verification
and
approval
process
for
each
applicant.
That
is
signing
up
for
that
emergency
rental
relief
and
as
of
wednesday
july
28th
605
applicants
have
been
approved,
totaling
860
000
in
emergency
assistance
payments.
We
are
additionally
getting
the
the
remainder
amount
of
money
out,
as
well
as
for
the
forgivable
loan
program.
J
As
reported
the
last
time
we
meant
the
small
business
forgivable
loans
have
been
fully
awarded.
Value
of
1.5
million
was
awarded
273
small
businesses.
As
for
recovery,
the
minneapolis
forward
community
now
coalition
has
created
their
first
set
of
solutions,
strategies
and
tactics
and
I'll
go
through
each
of
the
four
main
ones.
First
is
land
acquisition
to
help
current
business
owners
become
owners
of
their
property.
Developing
business
advocates
to
work
with
individual
business
owners
throughout
the
recovery
and
rebuilding
process
from
insurance
claims
to
ultimately
reopening
their
doors.
J
Third
is
the
creation
of
new
funding
pools
that
prioritize
entrepreneurs
and
buy
poc-owned
businesses
across
the
city
and
then
finally,
additional
lobbying
support
to
deeply
support
our
business
community
and
leverage
the
interest
of
people
on
both
sides
of
the
aisle.
So
right
now
we're
actively
fundraising.
J
I'm
making
quite
a
bit
of
quite
a
few
calls
to
support
these
community
generated
solutions
that
prevent
gentrification,
prioritize
business
retention
and
will
restore
our
built
environment
while
fundamentally
transforming
the
way
that
our
city
does
business
in
an
equitable
way.
Additionally,
this
week
this
this
week
is
the
first
week
where
our
neighbors
on
unemployment
will
no
longer
receive
that
additional
600
weekly
allocation
from
the
federal
government,
and
we
know
that's
going
to
be
a
substantial
hit
as
we
see
the
inevitable
evan
flow
of
our
businesses.
J
Our
minneapolis
employment
training
team
continues
to
evolve
their
work
to
make
sure
that
young
people
are
deepening
skills
and
our
workers
can
find
new
opportunities
and
our
businesses
that
are
open
have
the
opportunity
to
meet
their
talent
needs.
So
I'm
gonna
stop
there.
Thank
you
all
for
the
partnership.
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
additional
questions.
A
A
B
Madam
president,
as
we've
done
so
often
in
the
past,
the
resolution
that
was
previously
adopted
by
council
that
extends
and
confirms
those
emergency
regulations
throughout
the
duration
of
the
declared
emergency
period
is
periodically
updated
by
the
council
so
that
they
all
continue
to
move
forward
as
a
package
of
emergency
regulations
that
continue
enforce
and
effect.
So
today's
action
is
essentially
following
the
same
actions
we've
taken
previously,
so
that
we
can
add
the
latest
emergency
regulation
issued
by
the
mayor
on
july
29th
regarding
bar
areas
to
that
resolution
adopted
by
council.
B
A
A

F
A
A
A
I
don't
see
any.
I
will
just
briefly
highlight
that
the
freelance
workers
ordinance
that
has
been
brought
forward
today
as
a
follow-up
to
the
wage
theft
ordinance,
I
think,
is
really
significant
and
I
want
to
pause
and
thank
the
council
members,
consumer
fletcher
and
cunningham
and
palmisano
who
worked
on
that
ordinance.
A
I
know
we
have
so
much
going
on,
but
I
think
you
know
making
sure
that
our
workers
are
protected
across
the
board,
no
matter
what
you
know,
you
know
arrangement
they
have
with
their
employer
contracts
or
otherwise,
it's
so
important.
Now
more
than
ever,
and
just
appreciate
how
much
effort
you
put
into
that
along
with
the
staff
that
prepared
the
ordinance.
A
M
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
just
wanted
to
say.
I
know
that
myself
and
council
member
fletcher
and
cunningham
made
a
lot
of
comments
in
the
in
the
pogo
meeting
before
the
ordinance's
public
hearing,
but
I,
but
thank
you
for
recognizing
this
piece
of
work.
This
accompaniment
to
our
wage
theft
ordinance
is
an
important
one
and
you'll
be
hearing
more
from
us
going
forward.
It
is
not
effective
until
january
1st
of
next
year,
so
there's
a
lot
of
time
to
work
on
education.
M
F
D
H
F
A
A
The
next
order
of
business
is
the
notice
of
ordnance
introductions
and
we
have
two
notices.
The
first
is
a
notice
by
council
member
fletcher
to
introduce,
at
the
next
regular
council
meeting
the
subject
matter
of
an
ordinance
amending
the
zoning
code
to
establish
regulations
for
short-term
rental
units
and
second
by
council
member
gordon,
to
introduce
at
the
next
regular
council
meeting
the
subject
matter
of
an
ordinance
amending
the
zoning
code
related
to
the
amended
standards
for
the
university
university
area
overlay
district.
Are
there
any
questions
or
comments
on
either
of
those
notices.
A
F
Thank
you
so
much,
madam
president,
and
and
colleagues.
The
resolution
today
is
being
presented
to
recognize
and
honor
the
55th
anniversary
of
the
voting
rights
act.
It
is
a
a
recognition
that
is
being
offered
by
city
councils
throughout
the
country.
I
I
think
it's
really
important,
particularly
in
light
of
the
passing
of
congressman
john
lewis,
whose
life
work
life's
work
was
all
around
ensuring
that
every
american
in
this
country
exercises
their
inalienable
right
to
vote.
Also.
F
We
are
at
a
moment
in
time
where
we
are
seeing
so
many
efforts
to
suppress
and
or
downright
deny,
people's
opportunities
and
rights
to
vote,
and
so
we
want
to
lift
this
up
as
honoring
the
the
work
of
the
voter
rights
amendment,
but
also
to
encourage
people
that
we
must
be
on
the
front
lines
of
voting.
If
we
are
protesting
for
change
in
our
communities.
F
N
I'm
I'm
honored
to
be
bringing
this
forward
with
you,
both
for
the
reasons
that
you
described
and
also
because
I
I've
had
my
own
story
about
getting
to
know
congressman
john
lewis,
which
really
involved
us
talking
at
length
about
comic
books
and
watchmen,
specifically,
and-
and
I-
and
I
just
will
never
forget
that
moment
as
a
young,
aspiring
comic
book
artist
talking
to
the
civil
rights
legend,
who
seemed
larger
than
life
to
me.
N
But
in
that
moment
I
realized,
you
know
just
how
how
regular
of
a
person
he
was.
We
liked
the
same
books.
We
both
talked
about
comics
and
I
and
it
sat
with
me
that
it
is
not.
You
know,
sort
of
giants
that
that
that
cause
massive
change
in
our
country,
but
it
is
regular
people
who
do
incredible
things,
and-
and
I
think
that
this
is
an
honor
of
that
of
regular
people
coming
together
to
do
incredible
things.
N
N
I
know
that
with
the
coronavirus
that
has
become
extremely
difficult,
but
I
think
that
we
have
our
elections
team
to
thank
for
being
in
a
position
to
get
everyone
access,
giving
everyone
access
to
vote,
we're
going
to
be
doing
everything
we
can
to
promote
and
have
started
to
promote
voting
by
mail,
which
I
know
has
become
under
attack
by
some,
but
I
think,
is
an
extremely
safe
and
legitimate
way
of
voting
and
so
and
as
we
and
and
for
folks
who
are
gonna
plan
to
go
voting
in
person
developing
developing
ways
to
make
sure
that
booze
are
sanitized,
that
staff
are
kept
safe.
N
That
election
judges
are
kept
safe
is
absolutely
that
voters
are
kept
safe
is
gonna,
be
top
of
mind,
because
we
allow
anything
to
impede
the
rights
of
people
to
vote,
as
the
council
vice
president,
said,
you
know
with
without
this
tool.
This
tool
is
the
centerpiece
of
our
democracy
in
the
city
of
minneapolis.
N
We
plan
on
not
letting
and
not
allowing
anything
to
stand
in
the
way
of
us
delivering
that
to
you,
and
so
it's
with
that
that
I
I
want
to
thank
our
staff.
I
thank
our
elections
team.
You
know
thank
our
our
election
judges
and,
and
and
thank
you
council
vice
president
for
bringing
this
forward
and
allowing
me
to
to
co-author
this
with
you.
F
Yeah,
thank
you,
councilmember,
ellison
and,
and
I
will
just
comment
that
you
looked
very
very
young
in
your
photo
congressman
john
lewis.
I
was,
I
was
quite
taken
back
by
that
photo,
but
it
really
is
this.
This
resolution,
while
honorary
is,
is
really
symbolic
of
the
progress
that
is
is
made
through
protests
through
electoral
participation,
as
well
as
just
committed
long-term
advocacy
and,
and
that
is
what
it
takes
to
to
change
this
country,
that
that
we
also
love.
You
know,
I.
F
I
applaud
the
the
historic
efforts
that
so
many
in
our
community,
and
so
many
people
all
around
the
the
world
and
and
throughout
this
country,
are,
are
taking
right
now
in
taking
to
the
streets
and
bringing
attention
to
these
long-term
systemic
issues
that
have
been
plaguing
our
society
for
for
decades
and
for
centuries.
In
fact,
and
and
certainly
that
has
brought
about
change,
those
protests
have
had
elicited
change
within
our
own
body
and
our
own
system
of
governance
here
in
the
city
of
minneapolis.
F
But
those
efforts
continue
to
fall
short
if
we
don't
show
up
at
the
polls
to
make
our
voices
heard,
and
so
this
is
a
plea
to
help
honor
the
legacy
of
john
lewis,
and
so
many
others
who
have
fought
on
the
battle
lines
for
our
full
rights.
To
vote
that
we
must
show
up
to
the
polls
on
august
11th
november
3rd
next
year,
when
all
of
us
will
likely
be
on
the
ballot.
F
We
need
everybody
to
show
up
to
the
polls,
then,
and
and
throughout
all
of
the
the
history
of
our
country,
and
so
thank
you,
colleagues.
I
encourage
you
to
support
this
resolution
and
yeah.
Thank
you.
So
much.
G
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
thank
you
to
the
two
authors
for
bringing
this
forward.
I
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
I
take
a
moment
to
say
thank
you
to
my
ancestors
and
elders,
who
fought
and
some
died.
G
Many
died
in
the
pursuit
of
the
ability
for
me
to
not
only
be
able
to
vote
as
a
black
american,
but
to
also
be
able
to
hold
office
as
a
black
american.
I'm
very
grateful
for
the
space
for
us
to
be
able
to
do
this
and
and
honor
the
legacy
of
congressman
john
lewis,
who
went
from
being
an
elder
to
joining
the
ancestors,
and
so
so.
G
Thank
you
so
much
as
a
descendant
of
slaves
and
sharecroppers
and
the
son
of
someone
who
was
a
part
of
the
great
migration
to
the
north
after
desegregation.
G
I
am
so
grateful
for
all
of
those
who
paved
the
path
for
me
to
be
able
to
be
where
I'm
at
today
as
an
elected
official,
and
definitely
echo
the
the
call
for
folks
to
to
come
out
and
vote
and
honor
those
legacies
of
the
elders
and
ancestors
who
made
this
possible.
Thank
you.
A
D
D
M
F
A
D
I
H
F
A
A
Which,
actually,
let's
see?
Actually
there
are
two
items
related
to
each
other?
So
the
first
item
is
consideration
of
a
series
of
amendments
and
guidelines
to
the
minneapolis
homes,
home
minneapolis
homes,
home
ownership
projects
in
order
to
align
it
with
the
minneapolis
2040
comprehensive
plan.
The
full
scope
of
the
changes
that
have
been
proposed
are
detailed
on
the
agenda
and
we
had
a
lengthy
discussion
on
this
item
and
presentation
two
cycles
ago
at
the
pogo
committee.
G
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
just
want
to
take
the
time
to
thank
cped
staff
for
meeting
with
me
to
talk
in
more
detail
about
how
this
will
be
implemented
and
how
it
will
affect
my
constituents
in
the
fourth
ward,
these.
So
this
item-
and
the
next
item
are
both
significant
changes
and
they
put
a
lot
of
time
and
consideration
and
expertise
into
it
for
us
to
have.
G
You
have
accumula
as
a
city
to
have
accumulated
as
much
land
as
we
have
was
under
unfortunate
circumstances.
The
foreclosure
crisis
followed
by
a
large
amount
of
homes
being
raised,
and
then
the
tornado,
so
the
city
ended
up
accumulating
quite
a
lot
of
land
under
those
unfortunate
circumstances.
G
However,
that
becomes
an
asset,
then
for
us
to
be
able
to
leverage
for
community
wealth
building
now
later
down
the
road.
Now
that
we
have
that
land,
and
so
it
was
very
important
to
me
as
a
council
member,
to
respond
to
the
concerns
that
I
share
with
my
constituents
to
ensure
that
we
really
are
leveraging
this
asset.
That's
rare
public
land
in
cities
is
increasingly
rare
and
so
to
be
able
to
leverage
that
for
community
wealth
building
and
housing
stabilization.
G
So
I
want
to
thank
roxanne,
kimball,
andrea
brennan,
erica
coleman
and
alpha
portrait
for
coming
to
meet
with
me
or
virtually
meeting
with
me
to
dig
into
those
details
even
further
the
next
item
around
perpetual
housing.
G
I
I
really
appreciate
the
equity
lens
on
that
that
focuses
both
on
the
ability
to
and
find
that
balance
between,
ensuring
that
we
have
accessible
home
ownership,
given
the
fact
that
we
know
that
many
racial,
just
like
a
huge
portion
of
racial
disparities
between
white
and
black
folks
that
we
see
the
wealth
disparity
is
due
to
lack
of
access
to
homeownership.
G
So,
there's
that,
as
well
as
the
wealth
building
opportunity
that
comes
from
that,
so
being
able
to
find
that
balance,
I
think,
is
incredibly
challenging
and
something
that
you
know:
we've
struggled
with
in
the
housing
crisis
and
in
disparities,
racial
disparities
in
homeownership
and
wealth,
and
so
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
so
much
to
the
cped
staff
who
have
worked
on
this,
who
have
been
strategic
about
it,
and
I
look
forward
to
continuing
to
work
with
them
to
ensure
that
the
land
and
the
vacant
homes
that
are
available
are
put
to
the
best
use
possible
for
north
siders.
A
Maybe
I'll
go
ahead
and
take
both
of
the
items
up
together
since
they
are
so
related.
So
that
would
be
item
two
as
well
under
unfinished
business,
which
is
consideration
of
amendments
and
guidelines
to
the
perpetually,
affordable
home
ownership,
land
trust
housing
model,
and
that
is
also
detailed
in
the
agenda.
So
I'll
take
up
items
one
and
two
under
unfinished
business.
Is
there
any
further
discussion
on
these
items.
D
G
K
M
A
A
A
A
A
I
don't
see
any
so.
We
will
move
to
the
very
last
item
of
our
agenda,
which
is
adjournment
typically
very
straightforward,
but
today
we
have
some
more
detail
that
mr
clerk
had
emailed
yesterday
to
council
members.
So
we've
completed
all
of
our
business
on
today's
agenda.
A
We'll
have
a
motion
to
adjourn
this
meeting
to
monday
august
10th
at
10
am
at
which
time
we
would
be
prepared
to
receive
any
report
by
the
policy
and
government
oversight
committee
on
its
report
and
recommendation
on
the
proposed
charter,
amendment
related
to
the
creation
of
a
new
department
of
community
safety
and
violence
prevention
in
order
to
continue
working
with
the
statutory
deadline
for
submitting
a
potential
ballot
question
to
voters.
This
motion
would
need
to
include
several
components.
A
First,
the
motion
suspends
rule
6,
section
7.8
of
the
city
council's
own
rules
of
order
to
direct
the
pogo
committee
to
refer
any
report
from
the
charter
commission
to
the
first
available
meeting
of
the
city
council
following
the
committee's
work.
Second,
the
motion
adjourns
this
meeting
of
the
city
council
to
10
am
on
monday
august
10th,
so
that
we
are
ready
to
receive
a
recommendation
from
our
pogo
committee
on
the
potential
for
a
ballot
question
if
it
should
be
available
to
us
and
third,
it
sets
a
public
hearing
on
that
proposal.
A
M
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I'm
curious
is
it
the
expectation,
then
sorry,
there's
some
thing
happening
outside
my
window
here.
Is
it
the
expectation
then
that
after
the
hearing,
we
would
then
vote
to
put
this
item
on
the
ballot
without
any
other
kinds
of
public
process
or
engagement?
Is
that
the
timeline
here?
A
Yes,
thank
you,
councilmember.
I
can
defer
to
the
clerk
for
the
procedural
questions
the
charter
commission
has
held
a
number
of
public
hearings
on
both
the
city
council
recommended
language,
as
well
as
their
various
proposals
for
alternative
language,
so
those
are
available
if
council
members
haven't
had
a
chance
to
listen
to
them.
Those
are
all
available
online
for
listening
and
they've
had
many
hours
of
public
testimony,
including
a
special
meeting
that
they
had
to
add
for
overflow
of
folks
who
had
signed
up
for
the
previously
scheduled
hearings.
A
So
this
you
know,
maybe
I
will
actually
defer
to
the
clerk
to
go
through
the
particular
dates
and
timelines
so
that
I
don't
miss
anything
if
I
tried,
but
basically
yes,
this
would
be
creating
a
public
city
council
meeting
within
the
time
frame.
To
still
have
this
question
go
to
the
ballot
for
voters
in
the
2020
election.
B
And
president,
the
only
additional
piece
I
think
would
respond
to
the
council
member's
question
specifically
is:
is
it
the
council's
intention
to
take
a
final
vote
following
its
public
hearing
at
the
adjourned
meeting
on
august
10th
monday
august
10th
at
10
am,
and
the
question
of
course
is
a
matter
for
the
council
as
a
body
to
consider
it
would,
at
that
point,
be
proper
for
a
motion
to
be
introduced
following
the
public
hearing
to
dispose
of
that
item
in
final
form.
B
I
will
remind
the
council
that,
because
of
the
shortened
timeline
that
was
available
to
us
to
consider
a
ballot
question,
the
process
under
which
this
item
moves
forward
has
already
been
defined.
So,
as
the
president
indicated,
the
current
language
of
the
ordinance
proposing
a
ballot
question
rests
with
the
charter
commission.
The
charter
commission
is
moving
very
quickly
to
see
what
its
recommendation
on
that
proposal
will
be.
We
have
told
them.
B
We
need
an
answer
by
its
regular
meeting
on
august
5th,
which
is
next
week,
assuming
that
they
submit
a
recommendation,
then
that
recommendation
comes
back
to
the
pogo
committee.
The
next
day,
on
august
6th,
the
pogo
committee
would
then
formulate
its
own
recommendation
on
the
question
to
submit
to
the
city
council.
This
motion
before
us
authorizes
the
pogo
committee
to
submit
its
recommendation
to
that
now,
adjourned
meeting,
that's
being
proposed
on
monday
august
10th,
so
that
we
can
further
expedite
the
process.
B
However,
there
can
be
no
further
changes
to
the
language
of
that
ordinance
and
it
cannot
be
further
adjusted
once
it
comes
back
to
the
council
and
after
the
council
conducts
its
public
hearing,
which
is
being
proposed
as
part
of
this
motion,
it
would
be
proper
for
the
council
at
that
time
to
take
up
and
consider
a
motion
on
what
to
do
with
the
question
to
submit
the
ballot
question.
B
M
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and,
and
that
really
was
my
question
to
the
authors,
is-
is
the
intent
then,
on
august
10th,
to
then
vote
to
put
this
on
the
ballot,
but
just
and
I
guess
that's
an
open
question
that
I
would
invite
others
to
wait
in
on,
but
just
if,
if
to
finish,
I
do
just
have
some
concerns
about
the
process
here
and
the
process.
That's
before
you
on
our
screen,
we
haven't
had
any
public
engagement
we've.
We
have
put
that
all
on
the
charter,
commission
and
I've.
I've
watched
those
meetings.
M
I
see
that
it
looks
like
they're
doing
their
best,
but
I
just
want
to
express
concern.
I
don't
want
to
be
obstructionist
here,
but
I
want
to
express
great
concern
that
we've
waived
our
rules.
We've
created
an
expedited
process
on
something
huge
and
controversial
without
a
lot
of
education
opportunities
for
the
public.
M
I've
held
six
ward
forums
in
which
there's
a
lot
of
interest
in
this
topic.
There's
a
lot
of
momentum
in
this
topic,
but
there
is
a
lot
of
confusion
as
to
what
this
topic
is,
and
I
hear
that
over
and
over
around
the
city,
and
so
it
concerns
me
that
we're
raising
up
all
of
the
gates
here
to
make
sure
that
this
very
fast
process
could
go
even
faster.
M
We're
waving
our
own
rules
here,
after
bringing
it
late
and
now
we're
going
to
expedite
it
again
on
our
own
fast
track
procedures,
and
I
just
I
am
very
concerned
that
we've
thrown
out
all
of
our
own
public
offer
public
opportunities
for
engagement.
So
I
hope
that
if
this
is
the
intent
to
put
the
vote
to
the
voters
on
august
10th
that
we
are
immediately
going
into
working
on
trying
to
educate
the
public
more
about
this,
because
we've
never
done
something
this
fast
before.
M
F
I
am
personally
unable
to
support
this
action
this
morning,
while
I
do
agree
that
the
initial
proposal
to
change
the
charter
in
an
effort
to
achieve
significant,
sustainable
and
meaningful
change
as
we
work
towards
developing
a
public
safety
continuum
that
keeps
everybody
in
our
community
safe,
I
I'm
opposed
to
shenanigans
in
order
for
us
to
get
there,
we
have
a
system
of
checks
and
balances
for
for
a
reason,
and
that
reason,
in
my
opinion,
is
to
ensure
deliberation
and
thoughtful
consideration
of
the
decisions
that
this
body
makes
on
behalf
of
its
residents.
F
The
charter
commission
has
a
role
in
the
checks
and
balances
and
being
appointed
by
a
hennepin
county
judge.
They
can
be
considered
the
judicial
branch.
F
F
F
I
read
an
article
earlier
this
week
discussing
the
disgusting,
the
disturbing
and
the
unacceptable
rise
in
violence
in
our
communities,
particularly
in
low-income
communities
of
color,
and
one
of
the
interviewers
was
the
director
of
one
of
the
interviewees,
I
should
say,
was
the
director
of
the
jordan
area.
Community
council,
kathy
spad
and
her
plea
to
us
was
stop
playing
games
with
our
kids
lives,
stop
playing
games
with
my
life,
so
in
that
spirit
I
will
be
holding
no
on
this.
F
This
proposed
adjourn
meant
to
august
10.
G
Thank
you,
madam
president,
so
I
will
be
supporting
this
today
because,
while
we
as
a
collective
council,
maybe
have
not
done
a
lot
of
creating
space,
that
does
not
mean
that
individual
council
members
have
not
been
doing
a
lot
of
public
engagement.
G
I
chose,
for
example,
to
not
be
an
author,
because
I
wanted
to
do
more
work
a
co-author
on
this,
because
I
wanted
to
do
more
work
with
community
engagement
and
talking
to
my
community.
I,
for
example,
had
a
war
force
survey
specifically
for
war
for
residents,
and
there
were
upwards
of
a
thousand
responses.
I'm
sorry
close,
maybe
around
800,
if
I
remember
correctly,
which
is
a
lot
of
participation
in
our
community
and
over
75
percent,
wanted
on
the
ballot
that
didn't
mean
that
they
supported
or
didn't
support
it.
G
They
want
the
ability
to
be
able
to
vote
for
it.
The
I
will
say
that
black
folks
who
are
quoted
in
papers
do
not
speak
for
all
of
the
black
folks
in
our
city.
I
do
a
lot
of
work
and
of
engaging
black
folks
in
north
minneapolis,
who
are
not
quoted
in
papers
frequently,
and
they
want
to
be
able
to
vote
on
this
they've
asked
for
significant
change.
They
see
that
our
current
system,
the
way
that
it
is
structured,
is
not
working.
It
is
not
keeping
our
community
safe.
G
We
are
playing
with
lives
by
maintaining
the
status
quo.
We
are
treating
doing
something
different
as
a
greater
risk
than
keeping
things
the
same,
the
way
that
they
are,
and
I
believe
that
keeping
things
the
way
that
they
are
is
more
dangerous
than
following
down
a
path
of
creating
a
new
structure
that
allows
for
us
to
actually
build
a
public,
a
system
of
public
safety
that
is
based
on
research
and
evidence
and
rooted
in
community
and
the
public
health
approach,
as
well
as
justice
and
restorative
justice.
G
I
think
that
for
us
to
be
intentional
about
getting
this
on,
the
ballot
this
year
actually
allows
democracy
at
its
grandest
scale,
folks
being
able
to
vote
for
themselves
how
they
would
like
for
us
to
restructure
public
safety
in
our
city
from
a
charter,
city
operations
and
structure
perspective,
I
think,
is
one
of
the
grandest
ways
that
we
can
put
a
democracy
into
action.
G
We
are
working
on
what
would
fill
that
new
structure.
That
is
the
work
that
I
am
helping
to
lead
alongside
sasha
cotton,
joymar,
stevens
and
brian
smith.
With
the
future
of
community
safety
work
group.
We
will
be
doing
a
report
back
next
week
about
what
the
work
is
ahead.
There
is
a
lot
of
work
that
we
will
be
doing
over
the
next
few
years
in
order
to
move
through
a
robust
community
engagement
process
into
an
implementation
plan
for
us
to
delay.
Getting
this.
G
G
The
state
has
a
department
of
public
safety.
Like
many
other
cities
have
departments
of
public
safety,
they
don't
just
have
police
standalone
police
departments.
We
are
not
pursuing
something
that
is
so
scary
and
unknown.
There
are
lots
of
models,
even
with
the
state
in
which
we
operate
under
is
exactly
what
we
are
talking
about
doing
right
now.
G
So
I
think
that
the
status
quo
is
more
dangerous
for
the
lives
of
people
that
I
represent,
as
we've
seen
with
the
uptick
in
violence,
the
continual
leaning,
heavier
and
more
heavily
on
the
office
of
violence
prevention,
despite
the
fact
that
they
do
not
have
the
resources
and
the
structure
to
be
able
to
have
the
level
of
authority
and
influence
that
is
necessary
to
be
able
to
meet
the
the
level
of
demand
at
the
scale
that
of
which
it
is
being
asked
to
do.
We
have
to
do
something
about
it.
G
I
do
not
think
it
is
our
best
interest
to
not
put
this
on
the
ballot,
particularly
given
that
I've
heard
from
a
large
number
of
my
constituents
in
north
minneapolis,
which
includes
black
folks,
that
they
want
to
be
able
to
vote
on
this
in
in
in
november.
So
I
will
be
supporting
this
today
and
ask
my
colleagues
to
do
the
same.
Thank
you.
K
Thank
you,
president
bender.
I
just
wanted
to
sort
of
put
this
in
context
a
little
bit
because,
just
to
remind
us
all
of
what
this
council
has
done
right
like
we
voted
unanimously
to
send
this
to
the
charter
commission
and
we
signaled
to
the
public
in
that
process
that
we
were
asking
for
consideration
for
this
item
to
be
placed
on
the
2020
ballot.
K
And
so
it
is
both
the
consistent
thing
to
do
and
the
transparent
thing
to
do
to
make
sure
that
we
take
the
procedural
steps
to
be
able
to
follow
through
on
that.
As
the
charter
commission
does
their
work.
K
So
I
think
it
would
actually
be
inspiring
of
cynicism
for
us
to
send
that
signal
and
to
ask
hundreds
of
people
to
give
their
time
to
log
into
the
system
and
provide
their
public
testimony
to
the
charter
commission,
which
is
where
we
told
them
to
go
to
weigh
in
on
this
topic
and
they
provided
testimony,
a
majority
of
which
was
supportive
of
the
charter
change,
an
overwhelming
majority
of
which
was
supportive
of
it
being
on
the
ballot
and
and
then
for
us
to
not
take
the
steps
necessary
to
follow
through
on
our
procedural
part
of
this
to
be
able
to
forward
it.
K
If
the
charter
commission
does
the
work
that
we've
asked
them
to
do
and
sends
this
back
to
us
in
a
timely
way.
You
know
I
I
think
that
would
be
very
disappointing
to
people,
and
I
think
it
would
be
something
that
where
people
would
feel
misled
and
they'd
be
right.
So
I
think
it's
very
important
that
on
this
procedural
motion
that
we
support
this
and
that
we're
consistent
in
telling
people
that
the
thing
we
told
you
a
few
weeks
ago,
that's
the
thing
that
we're
asking
the
charter.
K
Commission
to
consider
and
the
thing
that
we're
asking
to
move
forward
is
in
fact
the
thing
that
we're
doing
and
that
we're
being
consistent
and
we're
following
through,
and
so
I
I'm
supportive
of
this,
and
I
would
ask
everybody
to
be
supportive
of
this.
Obviously,
we
get
to
hear
additional
public
testimony
on
the
10th
and
make
a
decision
at
that
point,
depending
on
what
the
charter
commission
sends
to
us,
whether
they
send
us
recommendations
for
revised
language
or
whether
they
just
send
us
a
recommendation
on
our
language.
K
We
we
get
to
make
a
vote
on
the
substance
on
the
10th,
but
this
procedural
move
is
really
just
following
through
on
the
public
instructions
that
we
gave
to
our
constituents
about
how
to
engage
and
about
the
ways
that
their
engagement
would
be
valued
to
make
sure
that
we
continue
moving
this
forward.
So
I
hope
that
we
don't
inspire
cynicism
and
sort
of
undermine
this
procedural
move.
Today.
I
think
it's
very
important
that
we
give.
K
I
think
it's
very
important,
that
we
give
people
a
chance
to
vote,
but
certainly
I
think
it's
important
that
we
send
a
signal
to
the
charter.
Commission
that
we're
going
to
honor
the
work
that
we've
asked
them
to
do
by
moving
the
process
forward.
On
our
end.
N
I
really
want
to
thank
my
colleagues,
cunningham
and
fletcher.
I
think
that
they
put
it
as
well
as
I
could
put
it.
I
also
want
to
say
that
again,
this
is
not
about
us
making
this
decision.
If
this
was
about
this
council,
the
12
of
us
making
this
vote,
you
know
to
to
just
make
this
change
unilaterally,
then
I
think
that
that
would
be
a
different
discussion,
but
we're
discussing
whether
or
not
we're
going
to
put
it
on
the
ballot
and
I've
also
done
a
number
of
engagements.
N
A
number
of
sort
of
you
know
social
distance
park,
engagements
and
backyard
engagements
with
with
constituents,
and-
and
I
think
that
there
is
not
consensus
on
on
where
people
land
on
this
issue,
and
when
I
say
that
I
mean
that
I
mean
that
in
a
good
way.
I
mean
that
in
in
in
the
way
that
I
think
we
need
a
vote
to
decide
where
the
community's
landing.
N
I
think,
as
far
as
you
know,
I
I
council
member
cunningham,
said
this
well,
but
black
folks,
in
minneapolis
and
across
the
country
and
across
the
world,
are
not
a
monolith.
They're
not
going
to
share
a
singular
opinion.
You
know
councilmember
cunningham
and
I
and
and
and
council
council
vice
president
jenkins,
all
represent
significant
black
constituencies
and
and
and
and
and
even
we
are
not
in
a
position
to
say
definitively
what
the.
What
the
the
black
opinion
is
on
this
charter
change.
N
N
The
other
thing
I'll
say
is
that
the
status
quo
is
is
what
is
harming
our
communities,
whether
it
be
that
we
don't
have
a
significant
strategy
to
prevent
violence
in
the
first
place,
we
only
have
a
policing
response
after
the
fact,
whether
it
be
that
policing
itself
brings
harm
to
our
communities,
not
only
with
the
murder
of
george
floyd,
but
you
know
also
with
the
ketamine
situation,
also
with
the
lying
about
the
untested
rape
kits,
and
we
could
go
down
the
line
about
individual
stories
of
our
constituents
having
bad
interactions
with
the
police.
N
We
certainly
heard
some
of
that
today
and
so,
when
I
think
about
playing
games
with
our
with
our
communities
lives
to
not
do
this
is
to
play
the
game
to
to
to
to
to
lay
back
and
say
that
the
that
the
status
quo
can
last
a
little
bit
longer.
That
is
to
play
the
game
and
I'm
certainly
need
to
save
lives.
N
And
I-
and
I
think
it's
inappropriate
for
us
to
say
that
we're
just
going
to
sit
back
lean
back
back
play
games
with
our
communities
lives,
not
have
a
significant
response
and
lean
into
violence,
prevention
and
and
and
say
that
the
status
quo
is
good
enough
for
now
and
watch
people
die
in
the
process.
I'm
not
for
that,
and
so
I
will
be
supporting
this,
and
I
hope
my
colleagues
will
also
support
this.
A
Thank
you,
council
member.
I
put
myself
in
queue
to
just
reflect
a
bit
on
the
procedural
portion
of
of
the
question
before
us,
and
I
just
did
want
to
clarify
so
we
could
hold
a
public
hearing
at
the
pogo
meeting.
There
have
been
a
number
of
comments
and,
frankly,
some
complaints
about
the
length
of
those
meetings
already.
A
So
I
was
cognizant
of
folks
time
and
the
length
of
that
meeting,
which
would
certainly
become
significantly
longer
with
the
addition
of
a
public
hearing,
but
that
is
certainly
an
option
to
consider
I'll
say
that
the
meeting
will
already
likely
be
longer
than
the
one
we
had
previously.
A
The
committees
that
I
serve
on
in
normal
times
typically
go
that
length
just
each
one
themselves.
So
I
maybe
I
have
a
particularly
heavy
committee
workload,
but
I
do
actually
think
we've
been
quite
efficient
in
getting
eight
committee
work.
Kid
maybe
is
worth
work.
I've
done
in
in
a
few
hours,
but
anyway
I'll
just
note
that
that
that
would
be
an
option.
A
The
rule
that
we
are
suspending
is
related
to
how
we
forward
items
from
pogo.
So
I
could
ask
the
clerk
to
expand
on
that
a
bit
if,
if
you
would
like,
council
members-
and
so
you
know,
we've
certainly
set
up
our
rules
to
follow
a
typical
rhythm
and
pattern
of
of
meetings
in
this
case,
following
that
typical
rhythm
of
patterns
with
this
forwarded
to
the
next
council
meeting
that
would
come
after
pogo
would
not
allow
time
for
this
to
be
on
the
ballot
in
in
2020.
A
So
you
know
when
we
started
this
process
with
our
unanimous
vote.
Knowing
even
then
I
think
that
folks
had
different
perspectives
and
opinions
on
the
substance
of
the
amendment
to
the
charter.
We
knew
that
there
was
a
compressed
timeline
to
to
have
this
go
to
the
ballot
in
2020,
and
certainly
council
members
may
disagree
at
the
time
when
we
vote
on
whether
or
not
to
send
it
to
the
ballot.
A
A
So,
mr
clerk,
did
you
want
to
add
anything
about
about
that
rule
and
how
the
forwarding
timeline
works?
I
know
you
talked
about
it
earlier,
but
maybe
just
to
clarify
that
sort
of
process
of
forwarding
from
pogo
to
the
adjourned
meeting.
B
This
rule
provides
the
process
by
which
the
standing
committees
report
back
their
recommendations
and
recommended
actions
to
the
city
council
after
their
meetings,
and
that
rule
says
that
a
committee
report,
after
being
adopted,
is
transmitted
for
presentation
at
the
next
regular
meeting
of
the
city
council,
and
so
the
language
of
that
rule
locks
in
the
timing,
so
that
we,
both
internally
for
policymakers
and
staff,
understand
how
that
cycle
works,
but
also
for
the
public
so
as
they're
following
along.
B
As
a
consequence,
it
does
require
a
suspension
of
the
rules
to
allow
the
council
to
do
what
it
wishes.
Assuming
a
majority
of
the
body
concurs
and
would
add
an
adjourned
session,
which
is
essentially
a
continuation
of
this
meeting.
So,
instead
of
ending
this
meeting,
we
would
continue
it
forward
to
monday
the
10th
and
at
10
a.m.
Pick
up
where
we
left
off
the
only
item
on
the
agenda
when
this
meeting
continues
on
august
10th
would
be
the
consideration
of
a
report
from
the
policy
and
government
oversight
committee.
B
Should
it
have
any
recommendations
to
make
on
the
proposed
ballot
question
related
to
amending
the
charter.
That,
of
course,
is
dependent
upon
the
action
of
the
charter
commission
in
determining
whether
it
will
accept
reject
or
offer
a
substitute
on
that
proposal
which,
as
we
have
mentioned,
is
being
considered
by
the
charter
commission
right
now,
assuming
they
do.
We
have
already
suspended
our
rules
to
allow
them
to
submit
directly
to
the
policy
and
government
oversight
committee
the
next
day.
B
So
I
would
assume
that
on
august
6th
we'll
know
at
the
pogo
committee
meeting
what
options
are
available
to
the
council
and
the
pogo
committee
will,
in
its
due
course
make
a
recommendation
on
that
question
and
submit
it
then,
to
the
continued
meeting
on
august
10.
B
and
at
that
point,
as
I
mentioned
before,
by
suspending
the
rule,
it
would
be
proper
on
a
on
a
motion
for
the
council
to
then
take
up
and
dispense
with
the
question
of
whether
or
not
to
forward
a
ballot
question
to
the
voters
in
the
november
3rd
2020
general
election
to
amend
the
charter
happy
to
answer
anything
further.
A
Thank
you,
mr
clerk,
and
just
to
underscore
the
difference
here
would
be
between
having
that
considered
at
the
council
meeting
on
august
10th
instead
of
august
14th,
which
is
a
change
of
four
days
earlier,
and
this
would
have
its
own
meeting,
which
would
allow
for
that
public
hearing
to
take
place.
So
folks
would
be
able
to
follow
along
and
participate
in
this
in
this
one
item,
rather
than
having
it
part
of
a
very
large
agenda
at
the
council
meeting
or
in
the
case
of
having
the
hearing
at
pogo
a
very
long
pogo
meeting.
A
So
that
was
just
some
of
the
thinking
behind
why
it
made
sense
to
have
that
one
stand-alone
meeting
to
allow
for
a
public
hearing
council
member
goodman.
H
Thank
you.
Madam
president,
I
didn't
actually
turn
on
my
request
to
comment
on
mr
carl's
comments,
but
I'll
note
under
his
regular
or
our
usual
process.
There
would
be
enough
time
we
don't
have
to
suspend
the
rules
our
own
rules
in
order
to
make
this
happen,
unless
there's
a
concern
that
the
mayor
will
veto
it
and
that
there
wouldn't
be
time
for
an
override,
which
makes
me
suspect
that
that's
the
reason
we're
doing
this,
even
though
the
mayor
hasn't
said
that
he
would
veto
it.
You'd
want
to
leave
enough
time
for
that.
H
So
I
think
there
is
more
of
an
ulterior
motive
here
than
just
we
want
to
do
it
faster
for
a
public
hearing.
I
actually
asked
to
speak
because
I'm
a
little
bit
disturbed
about
the
ongoing
reference
to
you,
a
unanimous
vote
by
the
council
to
support
this
charter
amendment
and
put
it
on
a
ballot.
H
I
want
to
get
involved.
I
want
to
help
figure
out
what
public
safety
will
look
like,
but
I
don't
have
anywhere
to
send
them,
because
there
is
no
public
engagement
process
set
up.
As
I
speak
here
today,
at
least,
if
there
is
I'm
unaware
of
it,
two,
we
don't
have
a
plan
for
what
public
safety
would
look
like.
H
I'm
worried
that
we
will
have
a
level
of
chaos
that
will
result
in
no
one
understanding
who
is
going
to
respond
to
9-1-1
calls
if
anyone,
what
is
our
method
for
public
safety
going
forward,
and
how
do
we
figure
out
what
makes
the
most
sense
to
keep
every
member
of
our
community
safe?
So
from
where
I
sit,
what
I
heard
from
the
public
hearings
were
a
lot
of
people
who
want
to
do
it,
but
no
answer
to
the
question:
what
is
the
plan?
H
H
It's
just
not
and
letting
the
council
be
in
charge
of
the
police
and
creating
a
department
of
public
safety
without
a
plan
without
any
public
input
is
not
transformational
change,
and
so
I
I
don't
think
that
we
should
be
hurrying
up
our
process
to
get
this
on
the
ballot
when
those
three
questions
have
not
been
answered,
I
understand
and
respect
councilmember
cunningham
is,
is
putting
into
the
message
that
the
future
of
community
safety
update
is
happening
on
the
six,
but
we're
being
asked
to
vote
on
this
right
now
I
wish
we
were
not.
H
We
certainly
could
have
just
kept
our
normal
process.
I
would
have
kept
my
mouth
shut,
but
it
looks
like
what
we're
doing
here
is
we're
trying
to
make
the
process
go
faster.
Just
in
case
the
mayor
decides
he's
going
to
veto
this,
and
how
could
we
override
a
veto
that
I
can't
imagine
we'd
have
five
votes
to
even
override
in
the
first
place,
so
it
seems
like
there's
some
procedural
maneuvering
going
on
here
in
a
very
unnecessary
way
that
created
this
very
conflict-oriented
debate
that
I
am
just
simply
not
comfortable
with.
H
I
need
to
know
what
the
plan
is
for
what
public
safety
will
look
like.
My
constituents
deserve
an
opportunity,
as
everybody
else's
does
to
participate
in
what
the
public
engagement
will
look
like,
and
we
need
to
know
if
something
goes
on
the
ballot
that
we
have
the
ability
to
implement
it,
and,
as
I
sit
here
right
now,
I
do
not
believe
we
have
the
ability
to
implement
what
this
charter
change
is
suggesting
by
may
of
next
year,
and
so
I'm
just
really
disappointed
that
we're
fighting
over
nothing.
H
In
this
situation,
we
all
want
the
same
thing,
which
is
change
in
the
way
we
handle
public
safety
in
the
city
of
minneapolis.
This
is
not
that
transformational
change,
and
this
is
not
getting
us
there.
It's
just
creating
more
chaos
and
confusion
for
the
public
that
is
worried
about
public
safety
in
every
ward
in
this
city
right
now,
and
I
wish
we
could
just
get
our
act
together
and
determine
how
we
can
work
together
to
figure
out
how
we're
going
to
do
this
and
stop
focusing
on
a
charter
amendment
that
puts
us
more
in
charge.
A
Okay,
I
see
councilman
gordon
and
then
jenkins
and
q.
I
do
want
to
note
that
if,
if
so,
if
we
do
not
move
forward
with
this
adjustment
to
the
schedule,
then
the
item
would
come
to
pogo,
I'm
happy
to
hold
a
public
hearing
at
pogo.
That
will
mean
that
council
members
will
have
to
attend
a
long
meeting
on
that
day
after
the
pogo
meeting.
A
I'm
perfectly
willing
to
sit
through
that
public
hearing.
I
have
been
perfectly
willing
to
chair
eight
committees
that
are
going
through
pogo,
but
I'm
getting
a
lot
of
complaints
from
colleagues
who
are
having
trouble
with
those
long
meetings,
but
so
we
that
is
certainly
an
option,
and
if
we
do
not
make
this
change,
then
the
item
will
simply
go
to
the
city
council
meeting
that
following
friday,
so
I'm
not
really
sure
you
know.
We
can
certainly
debate
the
merits
of
the
proposal
now.
A
A
But
yes,
the
this
timeline
would
also
allow
the
city
council
to,
as
is
our
right,
consider
an
override
of
a
potential
mayoral
veto
of
the
question
that
doesn't
mean
that
it
would
pass.
It
certainly
may
not
pass,
but
it
would
allow
the
council
to
do
our
work
in
time
for
the
ballot
to
go
the
question
to
go
on
the
ballot
this
year.
If
council
members
don't
support
putting
it
on
the
bout
this
year,
you
could
simply
vote
no
at
any
of
the
meetings
that
we
are
describing.
A
O
O
So
that's
incorporated
into
this
as
well
as
looking
at
our
schedule,
and
it
makes
sense
to
me
that
we'd
have
a
separate
meeting
where
we
could
look
at
this,
and
this
is
the
way
we
do
it.
We
adjust
our
schedule
and
I
would
suggest
that
just
as
those
of
us
who
might
want
to
say,
let's
do
it
at
enough
time,
so
we
can
have
the
full
process
play
out
by
the
21st.
O
So
we
really
know
what's
happened
and
the
council
has
an
opportunity
to
respond
to
a
veto,
people
who
don't
want
to
meet
on
the
10th,
maybe
they're
sure
they're.
Also,
obviously
thinking
about
this
too
and
saying.
Oh,
maybe
we
just
want
to
let
the
mayor
have
an
opportunity
to
kill
it,
and
so
then
we
don't
really
have
to
make
the
decision
in
the
discussion
ourselves.
So
I'm
absolutely
fine
with
doing
the
10th.
I
think
we
should
do
it
in
enough
timeline
so
that
the
mayor
has
the
full.
O
I
think
it's
three
days
plus
sunday
to
to
review
it
before
it
makes
a
determination
and
just
follow
our
process
so
that
we
can
get
our
work
done
to
meet
the
outside
limitations
put
on
us
by
getting
it
on
the
ballot
in
november.
So
I'm
definitely
supportive
of
making
this
small
schedule
change
and
giving
enough
notice
to
the
public
and
taking
a
good
time
at
our
public
hearing.
So
we
can
hear
from
them
and
then
deliberating
and
discussing
the
issue
itself
and
whether
or
not
to
put
it
on
the
ballot
at
that
time.
F
Thank
you,
madam
president.
You
know
I
just
want
to
state
for
the
record
that
I
am
absolutely
well
aware
of
the
fact
that
the
black
community
is
not
a
monolith,
as
evidenced
by
the
fact
that
a
group
called
black
visions
is
one
of
the
groups
that
is
a
strong
proponent
of
defunding,
the
police,
which
has
led
us
down
this
path
of
changing
our
charter
to
accommodate
that
that
demand.
F
I
absolutely
stand
by
my
vote
to
bring
this
charter
amendment
forward
and
have
it
on
the
ballot.
I
am
not
in
any
way
talking
about
the
substance
of
that
charter
change.
However,
I
am
talking
about
the
fact
that
there
is
a
broad
segment
of
the
african-american
community
who
feels
like
their
voices
are
not
being
heard
in
this
conversation
yeah.
Maybe
they
are
being
interviewed
in
newspapers
and
and
on
television
and
many
other
venues.
F
However,
no
no
one
on
this
body
is
really
uplifting
those
voices,
and
so
those
have
to
be
taken
into
account.
I
think
this
change
that
we
are
proposing
right
now.
F
Maybe
it
is
necessary,
but
the
perception
is
that
we
are
playing
political
games,
that's
the
perception,
and
so
that
that
is
prompting
me
to
to
make
the
decision
that
I'm.
A
M
Thank
you,
madam
president,
thank
you
for
honoring
this
very
difficult
discussion,
with
lots
of
input
and
feedback
on
both
sides,
and
I
know
I
started
off
with
some
comments
earlier,
but
I
just
want
to
come
back
to
to
me.
This
is
more
than
a
scheduling
problem
to
me.
It
seems
clear
from
this
conversation
that
we
don't
have
a
scheduling
problem.
It's
still
very
possible
to
put
this
on
the
ballot.
M
M
To
me
this
was
about
opportunities
for
more
input
and
it
would
have
been
about
maybe
scheduling
more
meetings.
It
sounds
like
there's
so
much
time
built
in
that
we
could
have
three
meetings
and
public
input
sessions
on
this.
For
example,
I'm
not
saying
that's
the
best
opportunity
or
the
best
method
of
engagement.
Certainly
it
isn't
for
voices
that
have
gone
unheard
for
so
very
long,
but
nowhere
in
this
conversation
am
I
hearing
that
we're
going
to
rush
in
and
go
and
get
more
feedback
from
the
public.
M
It
just
seems
like
a
way
that
we're
allowed,
with
a
two-thirds
vote
of
our
council,
to
to
get
rid
of
our
rules
and
do
other
things,
and
I
am
interested
in
in
letting
this
be
a
vote
for
the
public,
but
we've
already
voted
to
expedite
this.
I
don't
see
a
need
to
expedite
this
even
more
even
faster.
A
I'll
just
note
that
this
motion
does
require
two-thirds
vote
for
approval.
If
it
fails,
I
will
go
ahead
and
schedule
a
hearing
for
that
pogo
meeting.
So
please
adjust
your
schedules
as
needed
for
that
meeting.
You
need
to
do
that
anyway.
Those
will
be
long
meetings
until
and
unless
we
restructure
to
have
back
the
standing
committees,
but
we
will
let
folks
know
about
those
scheduling,
adjustments
that
may
be
needed.
D
D
G
G
E
F
A
A
Thank
you
that
passes
and
therefore
we
will
adjourn
this
meeting
to
monday
august
10th
at
10
a.m.
I'll
direct
the
city
clerk
to
follow
up
on
those
items
to
prepare
us
to
take
up
an
act
on
any
recommendation
that
we
may
have
from
the
charter
commission
and
the
pogo
committee
on
the
proposed
charter
amendment
at
that
time,
with
nothing
further
and
without
objection.
I
will
declare
this
meeting
adjourned
thanks
so
much
everyone
for
your
participation
in
our
meeting
today.
