Thank
you
good
morning,
everyone,
I'm

bender,

of
the

city
council,

this
regular
meeting
for
friday
november
13th
before
we

I'll

and
city

as

the
provisions
of

Colleagues
today
we
have
two
honorary
resolutions
to
begin
our
meeting
to
recognize
two
really
amazing
city
leaders
who
are
leaving
for
new
adventures,
new
professional
opportunities,
we'll
take
up
the
official
items
during
our
regular
order
of
business,
but
I
do
want
to
take
the
time
now
at
the
beginning
of
our
meeting
to
honor
their
service.
B
So
the
first
honorary
resolution
is
recognizing
the
service
and
leadership
of
our
civil
rights
director
velma
corvo.
I've
asked
councilmember
cunningham
to
lead
this
and
read
the
resolution
and
we'll
turn
it
over
to
councilmember
cunningham.
Before
we
welcome
comments
from
other
council
members
who
may
want
to
speak,
councilmember
cunningham.
H
All
right,
I
am
I'll
just
say
that
I
am
honored
to
be
able
to
read
this
while
also
sad
to
read
this.
But
we,
we
are
excited
for
director
corbil's
next
step.
H
Handling
outcomes
and
miss
corbin
led
a
disparity
study
which
formed
the
foundation
for
the
city's
ongoing
supplier
diversity
program,
which
helps
ensure
the
inclusion
of
black
indigenous
and
people
of
color
owned
and
operated
businesses
in
the
work
of
the
city
government
and
through
her
leadership.
Miss
corbel
has
caused
more
than
150
million
dollars
to
be
earned
by
bipac
and
women
owned
and
operated
businesses
through
oversight
of
the
city's
small
and
underutilized
business
program.
H
Supportive
services
and
ms
corbell
created
the
divisions,
the
department's
division
of
labor
standards
to
enforce
the
city's
workplace
regulations,
which
includes
ordinances,
addressing
sick
and
safe
time.
H
Minimum
wage
wage
theft
and
freelance
workers
and,
under
her
leadership,
helped
recover
approximately
one
million
dollars
in
lost
wages
for
minneapolis
workers
through
the
contract,
compliance
and
labor
standards,
divisions
and
during
her
tenure
with
the
city
of
minneapolis,
miss
corbil,
served
on
various
work
groups
and
task
force
within
the
city
enterprise,
including
the
vision,
zero
steering
committee
and
the
race
equity
steering
committee
to
guarantee
that
a
civil
rights
perspective
was
considered
in
decision
making.
That
affected.
I
Thank
you,
madam
president.
It
is
with
a
heavy
heart
that
that
I
speak
today
about
director
corbil
sort
of
taking
the
next
step.
She
has
been
such
a
mainstay
at
the
city
and
it's
even
more
frustrating
to
be
doing
this
virtually
because,
if
you
know
velma
she's
a
very
warm
person
she
would.
I
would
much
prefer
to
be
giving
her
a
hug
after
this
resolution
and
and
collection
of
speeches,
but
she's
someone
who
cares
deeply
about
this
city.
I
Who
cares
deeply
about
our
residents,
she's
forthright
and
and
honest
in
her
work
and
I've
seen
time
and
time
again
where
she
stands
by
her
principles
and
quite
simply
gets
the
job
done.
I
You
know
I
remember
when
before
I
was
even
working
at
the
city
and
I
was
an
attorney
doing
civil
rights
cases,
you
wouldn't
necessarily
bring
a
civil
rights
case
to
the
city
of
minneapolis,
even
though
you
had
the
potential
to
get
treble
damages
because
there
was
such
a
backlog,
you
couldn't
get
money
for
your
client
for
sometimes
a
couple
of
years,
and
because
of
that,
you
chose
to
go
elsewhere.
I
Now
velma
has
eliminated
that
backlog
she's
worked
on
projects
ranging
from
contract
compliance
to
heading
up,
mben
she's
done
extraordinary
work,
around
workforce
regulations
and
in
our
small
and
underlying
under
underutilized
business
program.
I
She's
she's
really
served
our
city
brilliantly
and
especially,
I
think
these
last
these
last
eight
or
nine
months,
and
whether
that
was
stepping
in
on
the
tro
or
finding
ways
where
our
city
can
operate
more
efficiently.
In
the
face
of
great
budget
for
shortfalls,
she's
been
there
to
do
the
the
difficult
and
really
hard
work.
So
director
corbin,
we
appreciate
you.
We
wish
you
so
well
on
your
next
venture
and-
and
we
know,
you'll
stay
in
touch.
F
Thank
you
so
much,
madam
president
and
boy,
I
have
worked
with
several
civil
rights
directors
at
the
city
of
minneapolis.
I'm
somewhat
embarrassed
to
say,
however,
the
professionalism
that
you
have
brought
to
the
office
of
civil
rights
in
the
past
10
years
is
quite
remarkable.
F
Director,
corbell
and-
and
I
will
still
call
you
that,
for
at
least
one
more
week
and
your
your
your
mentorship
of
myself
over
the
10
years
that
you
have
been
with
the
city
has
been
completely
just
overwhelming
and
deeply
appreciated.
F
The
urban
scholars
program,
which
I
think
is
one
of
the
most
important
and
successful
initiatives
the
city
of
minneapolis
has
ever
done,
is
a
tremendous
asset.
I
think
to
the
entire
city,
urban
scholars
work
throughout
the
city
and
and
get
opportunities
for
learnings
and
and
employment
that
they
may
not
otherwise
have
had,
if
not
for
the
urban
scholars
program.
F
I,
since
its
inception
and
in
every
year
my
office
has
had
a
urban
scholar
as
a
summer
intern,
and
I
hired
a
urban
scholar
zoe
bourgeois
to
to
be
my.
F
Policy
associate
in
my
office
and
and
her
work
has
been
outstanding
and
I
know
that's
from
the
the
the
deep
grooming
and
training
and
opportunities
that
were
presented
to
her
through
the
urban
scholars
program,
as
well
as
her
own
talent
and
tenacity.
F
F
But
I
think
your
sage,
wisdom
throughout
the
organization
has
helped
many
department,
heads
and
other
leaders
throughout
the
city
to
deal
with
the
enormous
challenges
of
really
making
sure
that
we
are
an
equity,
focused
city,
and
I
I
just
can't
express
my
gratitude
and
sincere
desire
for
your
continued
success
in
the
future.
B
J
Thank
you,
council,
president
bender,
as
you
can
see,
most
of
the
department
heads
are
on
this
call.
It's
our
way
of
electronically
crowding
the
room
to
show
our
support
for
for
velma.
J
In
addition,
all
the
other
accomplishments,
I
want
to
add
two
other
very
personal
ones,
for
us
as
department
heads
and
staff
and
those
are
accomplishments
which
are
personal.
They
are
both
the
role
of
counselor
and
mentor,
and
what
I
mean
by
counselor
is
when
I
needed
advice-
and
this
is
true
for
many
other
people
when
I
needed
advice
on
how
to
move
forward
on
a
particularly
difficult
issue.
J
I
called
velma
and
when
we
had
a
new
department
head
who
was
starting,
it's
a
tradition
to
assign
a
mentor,
and,
I
would
say,
velma
has
received
more
requests
for
mentorship
than
any
other
department
had
in
recent
years,
and
I
just
think
those
are
two
testimonies
to
the
quality
of
an
individual
and
in
particular
velma's
personal
commitment
to
the
city
and
its
mission.
So
thank
you,
velma
on
behalf
of
all
the
department,
heads
and
all
the
staff.
B
Thank
you,
mr
ruff,
director
corbil
I'll,
just
echo
so
much
what
people
have
said
and
offer
my
personal
thanks
to
you,
it's
you're,
fierce
and
funny
and
such
a
strong
leader.
B
I
think
someone
that
we
all
appreciate,
as
you've
heard
from
others,
your
body
of
work
and
your
leadership,
but
also
what
you
bring
as
a
person
to
each
of
our
lives
at
city
hall.
So
I
see
council,
member
cunningham
in
queue
to
add
the
last
thought
we'll
give
our
chair
the
final
word
before
we
turn
it
over
you
to
your
director,
if
you'd
like
to
say
anything,
counselor
cunningham.
H
Thank
you.
Madam
president.
I
just
wanted
to
express
my
gratitude.
I
have
been
fortunate
to
have
worked
with
velma
for
many
years
now,
even
before
being
elected,
I
was
fortunate
to
be
able
to
be
a
champion
of
the
work
that
the
civil
rights
department
has
led,
particularly
urban
scholars.
H
While
I
worked
in
the
mayor's
office
and
since
the
a
city
council
member,
ensuring
that
there
was
always
a
champion
for
the
civil
rights
department
who
acknowledged
and
made
sure
that
the
work
of
the
civil
rights
department
remained
on
council's
consciousness,
as
well
as
the
greater
public
like,
I
felt
very
strongly
that
and
and
felt
very
honored
to
really
serve
in
that
space.
H
Prior
to
our
council
reorganization,
I
was
the
chair
of
the
public
health
environment,
civil
rights
and
engagement
committee
and
since
the
restructuring
now
the
public
health
and
safety
committee,
which
still
includes
the
civil
rights
department,
I
have
had
the
very
good
fortune
of
working
very
closely
with
velma
and
many
of
her
staff
since
becoming
a
council
member,
and
I
can
just
say
that
the
work
that
this
department
does
is
phenomenal
and
the
energy
that
comes
out
of
this
department
is
phenomenal,
and
that
speaks
to
the
leadership
of
of
miss
cordwell.
H
We
are
incredibly,
we
have
been
incredibly
fortunate
as
a
city
to
have
her
leadership
as
a
former
black
employee,
I'm
still
black,
but
as
a
former
employee
who
is
black,
I
have
I've
looked
up
to
velma.
I
have
felt
inspired
by
her
leadership
and
and
I'm
excited
for
to
see
what
her
next
steps
are,
and
I
know
that
many
other
black
employees
and
leaders
in
the
city
also
look
to
you.
H
We
are
so
excited
for
your
next
steps
and
also
so
sad
for
ours
for
our
city
and
ourselves,
we're
like.
Oh,
we
love
you
love
being
around
you,
but
your
leadership
has
just
been
so
critical
and
congratulations
on
your
next
steps
and
your
future
endeavors.
Please
don't
forget
us
at
the
city
and
please
do
stay
in
touch.
Thank
you.
K
K
Thank
you
for,
for
those
very
nice
words,
you're
very
kind,
and
I
want
to
thank
you
for
the
resolution
and
the
recognition,
and
I
also
would
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
go
back
and
and
say
thank
you
to
former
mayors,
ryback
and
hodges
for
also
having
the
confidence
in
me
to
lead
the
work
of
the
civil
rights
department.
K
I
was
thinking
back
this
morning
on
the
number
of
reappointment
cycles
that
I've
been
through
and
and
this
most
recent
one
made
six
and
about
half
of
them.
I
actually
remember
the
ones
I
don't
remember
were
probably
the
good
ones,
so
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
that
is
a
lot
of
time
spent
in
front
of
the
council
talking
about
the
work
of
the
department,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
to
say
thank
you
for
that.
K
I
also
wanted
to
say
thank
you
to
to
my
department,
head
colleagues.
You
know.
F
K
The
department
heads
are
some
of
the
best
and
brightest
individuals
that
I
have
ever
worked
with,
and
they
are
passionate
about
the
work.
They
love
the
city
and
they
are
deserving
of
recognition,
not
just
as
team
members
of
mine,
but
of
how
they
lead
in
the
spaces
that
they
occupy,
and
one
of
the
things
that
I
was
thinking
about
this
morning
is
that
I
I.
K
I
would
hope
that
each
one
of
those
department
heads
are
creating
a
resolution
in
their
mind
about
all
of
the
accomplishments
that
they
have
made
in
the
contributions
that
they
have
made
to
the
city
and
and
that
they
would
get
the
their
flowers
now,
while
they
are
still
here,
rather
than
when
they're
walking
out
out
the
door
when
it
really
matters
and
I've
just
been
very
fortunate
to
to
work
with
such
a
wonderful
group
of
people.
K
That
there
was
not
an
organization
like
the
black
employee
network
when
I
came
to
the
city
of
minneapolis,
and
I
wish
there
had
been,
and
one
of
the
highlights
of
my
time
here
has
been
being
the
executive
sponsor
for
the
minneapolis
black
employee
network,
and
I
saw
my
role
with
this
group
as
just
someone
to
be
a
helper
and
someone
to
just
clear
the
way
for
the
individuals
that
are
members
of
this
cohort,
because
there
are
leaders
in
positions
here
in
the
city
where
those
these
folks
don't
occupy
formal
positions
of
leadership,
but
they
are
leading
from
where
they
are,
and
it
has
just
been
my
privilege
to
be
able
to
offer
whatever
small
bit
of
encouragement
that
I
could
to
the
individuals
who
are
part
of
this
group-
and
I
just
am
just
going
to
be
looking
at
their
successes
into
the
future
and
I'll
be
their
their
biggest
cheerleader.
K
Councilmember
cunningham.
I
read
some
of
the
highlights
from
the
resolution
of
the
work
that
I'm
most
proud
of,
but
but
that
work
cannot
be
accomplished
alone
and
it
is
really
the
product
of
the
team
that
I
will
probably
miss
the
most,
and
that
is
the
group
of
employees
inside
the
civil
rights
department
and
whether
it's
been
employees
from
the
past
that
have
gone
on
to
bigger
and
better
things
are
the
employees
in
the
department.
Right
now.
They
have
just
been
great
to
work
with.
K
They
were
actually
clearing
the
way
for
me
to
be
successful,
to
do
the
work
for
residents
and
guests
and
visitors
in
the
city
of
minneapolis
they've
just
been
been
fabulous
and
it
has
been
really
my
honor
and
privilege
to
serve
the
people
of
minneapolis
and
I
am
not
leaving
the
metro
not
leaving
the
work,
and
so
I
will
continue
to
do
the
best
that
I
can
for
the
people
that
I
serve.
So
thank
you
for
everything.
B
Thank
you
director.
Our
wonderful
city
clerk
will
make
sure
that
we
give
you
the
resolution
so
that
you
can
have
that
and
thank
you
casey
for
always
making
sure
we
have
those
things
ready
and
in
place.
Thank
you
director
again
for
everything.
K
B
B
So
I
want
to
turn
it
over
to
councilmember
johnson,
who
very
early
in
our
first
term
together,
championed
open
and
act
at
access
to
data,
so
council
member
johnson
will
be
taking
the
lead
and
reading
this
resolution.
G
Well,
thank
you,
madam
president.
I
just
have
to
say
it
is
really
really
hard
to
see
director
fought
hill
go
from
the
city
he
has
been
for
those
of
us
that
have
worked
with
him,
so
responsive.
G
So
on
top
of
things
he
has
been
just
a
really
incredible
leader
in
the
department
and
been
really
nimble
with
responding
to
these
unprecedented
circumstances
that
we've
faced
even
thinking
through
everything
with
the
pandemic
and
having
to
quickly
shift
the
way
that
we
work
as
a
city.
G
You
know
the
way
that
our
workforce
continues
to
serve
the
public
and
it
was
under
his
leadership
that
we
were
able
to
so
successfully
and
smoothly
make
that
transition,
and
when
we
look
at
what
happened
with
the
civil
unrest,
the
cyber
attacks,
it
was
under
his
leadership
that
we
made
sure
our
networks.
Our
systems
were
secured,
that
we
were
protecting
residents
and
ensuring
that
our
services
could
continue
uninterrupted,
and
so
it's
it's
really
tough
to
see
you
go
director.
G
It
really
is-
and
I
know
you're
gonna
be
missed
here
at
the
city,
but
we
are
very
happy
to
have
had
you
for
the
time
that
we
did
and
all
of
your
accomplishments.
So
I
will
go
ahead
and
read
the
resolution.
G

To
come.
G
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
I
I
just
would
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
add
one
last
comment
that
wasn't
captured
in
my
earlier
comments.
You
know
director
vaude
hill.
You
have
such
an
amazing,
incredible
story
and
you
bring
just
so
much
energy
and
delight
to
the
work
and
it
shows
and
it
excites
people
and
gets
them
working
collaboration,
and
it
is
truly
a
loss
for
our
enterprise
that
you
are
moving
on,
but
we
just
wish
you
all
the
best.
Thank
you.
I
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
remember
talking
to
mr
foddy
fought
hill
just
over
about
a
year
ago,
and
you
know
I
I
thought
he
had
great
intellect
great
hair,
a
really
excellent
back
story,
and
he
proved
immediately
that
he
was
the
right
person
for
the
job
and,
although
he's
only
been
here
what
about
a
year
now,
I
think
you
can
multiply
that
out
many
times
given
the
year
that
we've
had
to
be
the
head
of
I.t
through
a
global
pandemic.
I
That
requires
the
kind
of
virtual
accessibility
that
we've
needed
to
totally
have
to
reboot,
so
many
of
our
different
systems
and
simultaneously
protect
them
against
outside
threats.
I
mean
it's,
it's
been
incredible
work
and
I'm
sure
he
feels
like
that.
Work
has
lasted
far
longer
than
a
year
and
I
can
remember
back
to
some
of
the
most
difficult
times
of
the
pandemic
and
some
of
the
most
difficult
times
of
unrest
where
yeah.
Of
course,
there
were
plenty
of
attempted,
hacks
and
or
issues
with
rit
system
that
fadi
just
stepped
up.
I
He
remained
cool
and
collected
in
the
face
of
a
whole
lot
of
frustration,
at
least
for
me.
You
know
I
I
don't
know
what
I'm
talking
about
with
respect
to
it.
I
need
very
much
to
rely
on
people
that
do
and
so
to
have
that.
You
know
cool
and
collected
person
right
there
in
our
city
was
like
having
a
a
built-in
radio
shack
for
those
80s
babies,
but
really
do
appreciate
all
the
work
that
you've
done.
I
Director
you're
you're
going
places
you've
been
places,
and
we
hope
that
you
come
back
to
visit.
B
Thank
you
and
director,
on
behalf
of
the
council,
just
want
to
echo
the
resolution
and
the
comments
from
the
mayor
and
councilmember
johnson.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
innovation
for
leading
change.
You
know
the
recent
work
with
the
open
data
portals
and
the
idea
that
we
can
just
have
data
whenever
we
want.
We
don't
have
to
go
through
a
whole
series
of
meetings
and
lots
of
back
and
forth
requesting
particular
types
of
static
data.
B
You
know
it
sounds
like
it
shouldn't
be,
but
it's
transformative
for
the
city
and
I
think
you've
left
us
at
a
good
place
to
keep
moving
in
that
direction.
So
I
believe
your
leadership
will
really
continue
to
affect
the
city
even
after
you
have
gone
on
to
this
next
opportunity.
J
As
many
of
you
know
from
talking
with
foddy,
he
loves
to
use
metaphors
right
and
I
remember
during
some
of
the
difficult
times
it
was
always
great
that
I
would
call
fadi
and,
and
he
would
say
things
like
well,
you
know
this
is
not
my
first
rodeo,
which
I
just
thought
was
was
a
classic
thing
to
say
in
our
urban
environment,
with
with
foddy's
background,
the
the
real
issue.
I
think
that
I
want
to
bring
forward
in
terms
of
the
metaphor
is
body
is
a
gardener
right.
L
Yes,
yes,
thank
you,
everyone,
I'm
I'm
I'm
doing
my
best
to
to
battle
my
my
my
emotions
that
are
rushing
right
now,
but
15
years
ago
I
I
arrived
at
minneapolis
on
a
political
asylum
escaping
injustice
somewhere
else,
and
I
had
nothing
but
my
education
and
my
ability
to
speak
english
from
watching
movies.
L
Sadly,
even
in
my
home
country,
at
the
time
I
I
felt
home,
I
felt
welcomed
I
felt
included.
L
L
I
forever
and
will
forever
be
grateful
to
this
city
that
embraced
me
and
gave
me
a
home
and
and
and
the
community
that
that
that
just
just
accepted
me
and
and
helped
me
grow,
and
I'm
so
grateful
to
having
had
the
opportunity
to
serve
this
city,
and
I
don't
think
any
of
us
can
ever
give
enough
back
for
the
for
the
city,
and
we
are
all
part
of
it,
we're
all
responsible
for
keeping
it
amazing
and
pushing
it
forward
to
to
what
our
residents
and
our
community
deserves
in
it.
L
I
I
I
I
felt
that
technology
and
I
I
think
the
message
should
always
be
technology
is
an
accelerator.
It's
never.
It
should
never
be
a
hurdle,
and
that
was
something
that
we
used
to
our
advantage
and
it
wasn't
that
hard,
given
the
type
of
staff
that
we
have
here
in
the
city
that
relentless
unconditional
commitment,
even
when
they
are
being
beat
by
it,
they
are
just
they
don't
connect
the
two
dots
and
they
just
keep
serving
and
that
dedication
in
nit
and
across
the
departments
have
been
our
best
and
most
valuable
assets.
L
People
are
our
most
valuable
assets.
It
was
never
about
technology,
it
was
about
people,
so
I
I
have
my
forever
gratitude
and
sincere
thanks
to
to
my
colleagues
to
to
all
the
departments
and
the
partners
that
we
worked
with
and
their
staff
my
sincere
gratitude
to
the
I.t
department.
L
L
I
will
I.
I
will
also
say
that
I
think
I
don't,
I
don't
believe
anything
is
going
to
change.
This
is
only
the
beginning.
The
first
steps
are
the
hottest
and
when
it
comes
to
technology,
the
most
powerful
thing
technology
can
do
is
data
data
is
power.
This
is
what
we
need
the
most
and
we
have
broke
those
grounds,
and
now
we
can
only
move
forward
and
the
way
it
operates.
It's
not
a
one-person
show.
L
We
are
a
collective
group
so
that
momentum
will
continue
and
that
that
with
producing
these
results,
I
am
certain
in
my
heart-
will
not
slow
down,
but
only
will
speed
up
again
my
gratitude
and
thanks
to
to
my
colleagues,
the
department
heads
that
partnered
with
me
that
we're
open
and
transparent
about
what
are
the
needs.
L
What
are
the
services
that
we
could
provide
my
gratitude
and
thanks
to
city
coordinator
for
his
guidance
as
well
and
support,
and
we
were
talking
about
about
mentors
and
when
I
joined
the
city,
I
I
was
assigned
the
city
clerk
casey
call
to
be
my
mentor
and
man.
That
was
amazing.
That
was
amazing.
L
It
was
it
was
very,
very
strong,
very
passionate
and
was
always
helpful
in
focusing
on
the
big
picture
and
and
also
communicating
the
sense
of
urgency,
which
is
something
that
we
we
need,
the
most
and
and
and
really
it
was
an
exciting
experience,
and
I
don't
think
our
collaboration
ever
ended
after
the
mentorship
period,
but
I
think
we
even
became
tighter,
so
casey.
Thank
you
very
much.
L
We've
we've
we've
been
definitely
good
partners
and
and
you've
been
instrumental
and
again
to
my
thanks
to
all
my
colleagues
I
am
still
here
in
the
city.
I
will
forever
be
a
servant
for
the
city
and
I
will
never
hesitate
a
moment
to
to
do
whatever
I
can
as
well.
So
thank
you
everyone
I
already
missed
being
here
but
we'll
be
around.
Thank
you
very
much.
B
Thank
you
so
much
and
thank
you
for
those
really
beautiful
words
about
our
city.
With
that
we
have
concluded
those
two
items.
We
will
take
up
the
official
actions
again
later
in
the
agenda,
so
that
brings
us
to
the
order
of
new
business,
beginning
with
the
mayor's
regular
report
on
the
state
of
our
local
health
emergency,
addressing
the
city's
response
to
krogan
19.
I
Thank
you,
madam
president,
for
the
opportunity
to
share
with
you
this
regular
covid
report,
and
I
will
dive
right
in.
There
have
been
19
emergency
regulations
to
date.
I
I
won't
get
into
any
of
the
specifics
on
each
of
them,
as
I
have
previously
reported
out
on
those
topics
moving
out
to
moving
on
to
the
health
report
by
the
numbers
before
I
jump
into
the
numbers
themselves,
I
just
want
to
briefly
reflect
on
the
fact
that
these
numbers
are
are
spiking
in
in
every
form,
although
minneapolis
has
certainly
positioned
itself
well
with
respect
to
our
diligence,
our
our
regulation
and
willingness
to
listen
to
science
and
epidemiologists,
the
numbers
are
still
going
up,
they
are
still
high
and
while
we're
not
seeing
that
the
numbers
in
in
the
dakotas
or
in
many
areas
of
greater
minnesota,
they're
still
concerned,
so
the
total
approximate
number
of
completed
tests
thus
far
is
three
million
two
hundred
fifty
three
thousand
eight
hundred
and
eighty,
that's
that's!
I
That's
more
than
500
000.
From
the
last
report.
Total
positive
cases
are
201
795.
in
the
in
the
interest
of
saving
time,
I'm
not
going
to
go
over.
The
remaining
bullet
points
of
the
minnesota
case
information,
but
if
we
can
flip
the
slide
to
hospitalization
the
total
cases,
hospitalized
is
12.
443
total
cases
hospitalized
in
the
icu
is
3086.
I
for
minneapolis
case
information.
The
total
positive
cases
is
16783,
that's
more
than
3
000.
Last
time
we
met,
total
hospitalized
is
1447
totally
recovered
is
14
501
with
269,
tragically
deceased.
I
I
won't
read
the
minneapolis
demographic
data,
but
you
should
have
a
chart
both
on
your
screen,
as
well
as
in
your
report
that
you've
been
sent
so
moving
on
to
the
health
department.
The
situational
update,
the
total
number
of
cases
here
in
minneapolis
has
increased
by
15.4
percent.
I
Over
the
previous
week,
hospitalization
hospitalizations
increased
by
4.9
percent
and
icu
admissions
increased
by
8.2
percent
and
over
the
past
week
the
average
daily
counts
have
increased
from
the
mid
70s
to
close
to
300
cases
per
day,
just
to
repeat
that
it's
gone
from
the
mid
70s
over
the
past
week
to
300
per
day,
so
we've
surpassed
300
cases
per
day,
which
is
three
times
in
in
the
past.
That
happened
three
times
in
the
past
week.
We're
also
seeing
increases
across
age,
racial
and
and
ethnic
groups
as
well.
I
Both
the
city
and
the
state
rates
have
doubled
over
this
last
week
and
both
minnesota
and
minneapolis
is
now
in
the
red
category.
This
week
the
governor
announced
new
restrictions
designed
to
slow
and
stop
the
explosive
spread
of
covid
across
the
state.
I
I
Bar
seating,
counter
service
and
and
standing
bar
games
are
also
not
allowed.
As
you
know,
we've
already
had
a
regulation
in
the
city
prohibiting
the
seating
in
bar
areas
and
requiring
table
service.
I
Indoor
capacity
is
limited
to
150
people
and
may
not
exceed
50
percent
of
total
capacity,
wedding
receptions
and
other
large
events
starting
november
27th
events
will
be
capped
at
50
people
and
beginning
december
11th.
The
limit
will
be
25
people.
Events
are
not
permitted
between
10
pm
and
4
am
for
private
gatherings.
Starting
tonight,
at
10
pm,
indoor
and
outdoor
gatherings
will
be
limited
to
10
people
from
no
more
than
three
households,
including
the
host.
I
I'm
going
to
skip
on
now
to
community
covet
19
testing
and
flu
shots.
319
people
received
free
covet
tests
at
hennepin.
Avenue
happened
at
hennepin,
avenue,
united
methodist
church
on
november
7th
and
approximately
100
flu
shots
were
given.
The
state
health
department
is
offering
free
saliva
testing
over
at
the
minneapolis
convention
center.
I
know
many
of
you
have
gone.
I
am
as
well
and
that's
available
seven
days
a
week
noon
to
seven
on
weekdays
and
10
a.m,
to
4
p.m.
I
I
I'm
going
to
skip
down
to
thanksgiving,
noting
that
the
health
department
shared
guidance
when
planning
for
upcoming
holidays
and
that
the
information
is
noted
in
the
report
you
have
received
moving
now
to
responding
to
community
needs.
This
past
week,
supplies
were
distributed
to
a
minneapolis
public
housing
authority,
high-rise
building
and
a
senior
care
facility.
Federal
cares
funding
is
being
used
to
purchase
personal
protective
gear
and
hygiene
products,
plus
equipment,
signage
and
supplies
to
support
covet
19
testing
and
flu
shot
events.
I
As
for
procurement,
as
of
november
11
2020,
there
has
been
nine
million
one
hundred
twenty
thousand
one
hundred
fifteen
dollars
spent.
This
is
an
increase
since
the
last
report
of
about
three
million
five
hundred
seventy
eight
thousand
seven
hundred
eighty
five
on
the
following
purchases:
food
security
initiative;
that's
nine
hundred
twenty
three
thousand
mask
purchases
at
four
hundred:
twenty
four
thousand
covid
testing
awareness
campaign
for
21,
000
coolers
for
tests
and
vaccines
for
56
000
and
then
testing
resources
for
2
153
750..
I
I'm
not
going
to
get
into
depth
on
the
public
safety
figures,
as
I
believe
you
have
them
in
front
of
you
and
are
at
least
not
directly
related,
but
certainly
indirectly
related
to
to
covet
19,
but
I
believe
the
chief
is
on
if
there
are
additional
questions
in
that
respect,
I'm
going
to
move
beyond
fire
to
the
state
and
federal
activity.
I
The
well
actually
on
the
fire
topic.
Excuse
me
that
the
public
hearing
for
the
appointment
of
brian
tyner's
chief
is
scheduled
for
the
next
weeks.
Next
week's
public
health
and
safety
committee
meeting
on
november
19th
at
1
30..
I
appreciate
him
and,
as
always
very
much
appreciate
our
chief
friedel
for
all
of
his
work.
I
The
newly
moving
on
to
state
and
federal
activity.
The
newly
elected
legislature
will
come
together
for
the
regular
session
starting
january
5th
2021.
I
The
legislature
met
for
the
sixth
special
session
of
2020
to
once
again
extend
the
governor's
emergency
power
for
another
30
days
and
contrary
to
the
previous
special
session.
Neither
the
senate
or
the
house
took
up
a
motion
to
take
up
removal
of
the
governor's
powers,
as
the
federal
election
results
are
still
a
topic
of
conversation,
so
is
the
possibility
of
a
fourth
phase
stimulus
bill.
I
While
the
house
senate
and
white
house
continue
to
be
remained
deadlocked
in
negotiations,
senate
majority
leader
mcconnell
did
state
that
an
additional
stimulus
package
needs
to
be
done
before
the
end
of
the
year.
That
is
a
quote
agreement
on
the
size
and
content
of
a
stimulus
bill
continues
to
be
an
unresolved
issue
between
senate
majority
leader
mcconnell
as
well
as
house
speaker
pelosi.
I
Food
security
has
been
an
increasingly
important
topic,
as
it
always
is,
but
certainly
some
of
the
fault
lines
of
inequities
are
highlighted
even
more
during
this
pandemic,
and
so
through
the
cares
act.
Funding
security,
food
grants
initiative
to
provide
emergency
food
relief.
The
city
of
minneapolis
has
awarded
more
than
935
000
in
federal,
cares:
corona
virus
relief
fund
funding
to
37
local
food
shelves,
food
pop-ups
farmers,
markets,
restaurants
and
faith
communities
distributing
free
food
and
meals
directly
to
minneapolis
residents.
I
Besides,
providing
immediate
food
relief,
these
grant
awards
will
build
capacity
in
the
emergency
food
relief
system.
Positioning
community
partners
to
sustain
the
increase,
increased
level
of
service
needs
brought
on
by
the
impacts
of
of
covet
19..
I
really
want
to
highlight
this
work,
because
this
money
has
enabled
so
many
of
our
our
partners,
our
community-based
partners,
to
get
set
up
quickly
to
prepare
for
the
winter
to
to
provide
some
form
of
shelter
as
people
wait
for
their
their
food.
It's
in
some
cases
and
lines.
I
It's
allowed
us
to
plan
ahead,
and
you
know
there
there's
no
more
basic
needs
than
than
shelter
and
food,
and
I
think
it
signals
that
we
are
stepping
up
in
those
areas,
especially
for
those
of
us
that
are
struggling
most.
I
The
city
received
47
applications
with
requests
of
that
nearly
1.3
million
for
the
original
470
000
of
the
cares
funding
and
the
city
allocated
that
another
465
000
in
cares
and
crf
to
the
pool.
I
feel
strongly.
This
is
the
right
choice
for
this
money
right
now
again:
food
shelter.
I
We
need
to
be
watching
out
for
those
of
us
who
are
most
vulnerable
through
this
pandemic
awards
range
from
two
thousand
dollars
to
fifty
three
thousand
dollars
and
they
pay
for
food
hygiene
services
and
equipment
and
fund
a
diverse
pool
of
organizations
with
high
barriers
to
food
access.
I
The
city
allocated
an
additional
65
000
in
cares,
crf
funds
to
address
specific
identified
gaps
in
the
emergency
food
relief
system
in
minneapolis
and
in
collaboration
with
these
efforts.
The
church
of
jesus
christ
of
latter-day
saints
is
donating
more
than
83
000
pounds
of
non-perishable
food,
valued
at
over
88
000
to
local
food
banks.
We
are
so
appreciative
and
the
food
group
and
second
harvest
heartland
to
support
emergency
food
relief
in
minneapolis.
Thank
you.
I
This
is
their
their
second
donation,
with
the
same
amount
of
food
delivered
to
the
food
banks
in
july
of
2020.,
yeah
and,
and
you
know,
they're
they're
rolling
in
with
these
huge
tractor
trailers
worth
of
food,
the
the
church
of
jesus
christ,
latter-day
saints
and
just
wanted
to
say
you
know,
thank
you
for
their
efforts
there.
It
is.
It
is
greatly
appreciated,
and
the
work
along
with
second
harvest
heartland
is
is
making
a
big.
I
As
for
gap
funding,
the
minneapolis
public
housing
authority
has
completed
review
of
all
applications
in
the
stable
home,
stable
schools,
emergency
expansion
list,
538
households
were
approved
for
assistance
from
this
portion
of
the
minneapolis
gap,
funds
for
housing
program-
and
you
know
the
we
had
this
program
obviously
set
up
to
begin
with,
but
it
allowed
us
to
ignite
even
a
little
bit
further
to
get
these
very
essential
needs
met.
There
are
three
additional
schools
that
that
were
added
to
the
stable
home,
stable
schools
program.
I
I
believe
that's
accurate,
but
I'll
check
back
so
community
prevention
partners
and
city
staff
will
continue
to
work
through
the
emergency
housing
assistance
list
to
complete
the
full
verification
and
approval
process
for
each
applicant.
I
To
date,
951
households
have
been
approved
for
assistance
through
this
portion
of
the
minneapolis
gap
fund
gap
funds,
housing
program
in
total,
1
489
households
have
been
approved
for
emergency
assistance
payments,
totaling
2
million
245
567
as
of
tuesday
on
november
10th.
I
It's
for
the
forgivable
loan
program.
They
have
been
fully
awarded,
and
that
is
all
I
have
today.
Thank
you
for
your
time
and
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
additional.
H
Thank
you,
madam
president,
president,
and
thank
you,
mr
mayor,
for
this
presentation.
I
was
hoping
that
you
could
go
back
and
explain
a
little
bit
more,
I'm
getting
some
text
messages
from
constituents
who
are
hoping
for
some
clarification
around
the
limitations
indoors
and
about
how
that
is
being
enforced
because,
like
I
mean
I've
been
seeing
pictures
of
long
lines
outside
of
bars
and
and
so
like
folks,
really
like
nobody's
wearing
masks
and
those
like
tight
lines.
H
So
I'm
just
I,
along
with
my
constituents,
are,
are
wandering
around
if
you
could
just
explain
that
one
more
time
and
then
how
that's
being
enforced.
Thank
you.
I
Madam
president,
councilmember
cunningham,
thank
you
for
the
question
first
I'll
note
for,
for
those
of
you
that
are
looking
at
photographs
and
or
videos
online,
some
of
them
are
are
accurately
depicting
what
has
happened.
Some
of
them
are
not
accurately
depicting
the
recent
events,
and
so
you
know,
in
other
words,
it
could
have
been.
Some
of
them
are
videos
from
prior
to
covet
19.
Some
of
them
are
very
present
they're
real.
We
need
to
take
notice,
acknowledge
it
and
then
act
is
if
director
musicant
could
speak
to
some
of
the
restrictions
indoors.
N
Yes,
thank
you
councilmember,
cunningham
and
and
mayor.
So
what
exactly
were
your
further
questions?
I
remember
your
enforcement
question
piece
of
the
question,
but
other
questions
about
the
indoor
limitations.
N
Thank
you,
councilmember
cunningham,
madam
chair
yeah.
The
the
changes
really
are
on
the
overall
advice.
Certainly,
the
events
I
think
will
be
easier
to
enforce,
because
the
events
are
often
at
facilities
that
we
can.
We
can
regulate
so,
if
someone's
having
a
an
event
after
a
wedding
or
a
gathering
following
a
funeral,
those
will
be
easier
to
enforce
and
some
guidance
has
been
given
that
allows
for
those
who
are
planning
ahead
to.
N
Kind
of
scale
back
their
plans
over
the
next
few
weeks,
getting
down
to
the
lower
number
in
terms
of
the
enforcement
of
indoor
personal
gatherings
of
families.
I
believe
that,
essentially,
that
is
a
very
strong
guidance.
I'm
not
sure
that
there
is
enforcement
of
families
that
decide
to
have
more
than
three
households
represented
in
a
gathering,
but
it
is
certainly
advice.
We
want
to
follow
as
community
members
and
as
members
of
our
families
and
our
social
networks,
so
that
we
can
stem
the
tide
of
the
growth
of
the
of
the
virus.
I
And
I'll
add
on
briefly
director,
I
think
the
the
governor
commented
yesterday
or
the
day
before
that
you
know
this
is
this-
is
nobody's
rating,
your
your
thanksgiving
dinner,
your
home,
there's,
there's
not
going
to
be
a
constant
check-in,
but
but
it's
a
strong
guidance
recognizing
the
the
concern.
N
And
councilman
cunningham
in
terms
of
your
suggestion
of
concern,
and
rightly
so,
of
people
gathering
outside
of
venues.
That
is
something
that
our
our
city
staff
are
working
with:
businesses
to
help
them
control
and
guide
and
create
markers
on
the
outside
of
buildings.
And
when
we
hear
about
that,
we
are
working
with
the
businesses
to
get
their
assistance
in
helping
to
space
people
out
when
they're
outside
waiting
to
enter
venues.
I
And
if,
if
interim
director,
andrea
brennan
could
comment
again
briefly
as
well,
I
know
they've
been
doing
some
good
work
with
business
licensing
around
some
of.
O
Great.
Thank
you
mayor
just
wanted
to
note
that
business
licensing
will
be
doing
targeted
inspections
over
the
weekend
based
on
complaints.
B
C
Adam
president,
there
is
a
second
item
under
new
business
and
I
can
briefly
just
speak
to
this.
It's
a
letter
from
the
charter
commission,
which
basically
closes
out
the
review
of
the
council-initiated
proposed
amendment
to
the
city
charter
related
to
community
safety.
Violence
prevention,
the
council
head,
as
you
all,
are
aware,
already
acted
at
its
meeting
on
august
14th
to
delete
that
matter
from
the
agenda
that
closes
the
file
in
terms
of
the
council's
process.
C
The
charter
commission
had
previously
opted
to
continue
its
review
of
that
proposed
amendment
under
the
statute,
which
would
have
given
them
until
november
27th.
They
have
acted
to
reject
the
proposed
amendment.
The
letter
then
closes
the
file
from
a
clerk
perspective,
and
so
both
the
files
in
the
council
and
the
commission
process
are
closed.
The
commission
has
indicated
it
will
submit
a
full
report
to
the
council
about
its
findings
and
research
in
the
next
coming
weeks.
So
this
item
is
also
a
receive
and
file
and
is
merely
an
administrative
process
of
closing
out
the
files.
B
Great,
thank
you,
mr
carl,
and
those
materials
are
linked
in
the
online
agenda
and
thank
you
for
jumping
in
I'm
missing
a
page
of
my
agenda.
So
are
there
any
questions
or
comments
on
that
update
from
the
charter.

D
So
with
that,
madam
president,
I'll
move
all
items
except
item
six,
which
was
the
denial
of
the
rezoning,
because
I
believe
council
member
fletcher
would
like
to
make
a
different
motion.
So
I'll
just
pull
that
off
and
ask
that
we
move
items
one
through
five
and
seven
through
21
for
approval
this
morning.
Thank
you.
B
H
Yes,
I
am
thank
you.
Madam
president.
I
wanted
to
just
take
a
quick
moment
to
speak
to
item
number
11
approving
the
commercial
property
development
fund
loan
to
hwj
property
properties.
I
just
want
to
really
express
my
excitement
about
this
project
and
seeing
the
city
invest
in
north
side,
black
owned
businesses
and
black
entrepreneurs.
H
Houston
white
is
an
entrepreneur
from
the
north
side
invested
in
the
north
side
and
has
done
really
cool
work
in
and
and
is
super
committed
to
building
out
44th
avenue
north.
The
two
of
us
have
been
working
together
on
a
vision
for
developing
a
a
commercial
corridor
within
the
fourth
ward,
which
we
don't
have
one
now
and
the
corner
that
he
that
his
business
occupies
is
really
an
opportunity
to
be
very
catalytic
for
the
development
of
of
a
corridor.
H
So
I'm
really
excited
we're.
Looking
at
mixed
use,
work
live
spaces
that
are
affordable,
expanding
his
business.
I
mean
it's
just
it's
so
exciting
to
see
the
city
investing
in
north
side
black
owned
businesses.
In
this
way,
I've
been
working
incredibly
hard
to
try
to
create
these
sort
of
pathways
for
investment,
and
I'm
excited
to
see
it
come
to
fruition.
In
this
way,
it's
incredibly
well
deserved,
and
so
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
all
the
staff
and
cpad
who
have
worked
on
this.
H
Thank
you
to
houston
for
all
his
hard
work
and
I'm
excited
to
look
I'm
looking
forward
to
a
groundbreaking
ceremony
in
our
community
for
it.
So
thank
you.
Everybody.
F
Thank
you.
Madam
president,
I
was
just
hoping
to
hear
a
little
bit
more
about
the
the
item
regarding
the
d
line:
public
transportation
on
the.
D
Thank
you
so
much.
This
is
just
simply
authorizing
a
temporary
construction
easement
and
a
permanent
easement
at
726
franklin
avenue
to
facilitate
the
project.
It's
also
passing
a
resolution
authorizing
the
sale
of
the
easement
for
to
contemporary
construction
easements.
So
it
was
a
consent
item
on
the
agenda
and
it
involves
property
on
east
franklin.
The
700
block
of
east
franklin.
P
C
B
Q
Thank
you,
president
bender.
I
only
intend
to
make
a
motion
on
item
six.
We
just
approved
item
five.
Q
Q
So
one
of
the
items
of
testimony
that
I
think
was
impactful
at
committee
was
the
notion
that
the
industrial
living
overlay
was
intended
for
existing
buildings,
which
may
actually
be
accurate
from
when
it
was
passed,
but
certainly
it
has
become
the
practice
of
our
city
to
use
it
in
these
cases,
and
it
is
the
plan
and
practice
of
cped
to
use
the
industrial
living
overlay
to
achieve
the
production
mixed
use,
spaces
that
are
designated
in
the
2040
comp
plan
that
we
approved,
and
in
fact
it
is
the
only
tool
for
doing
so.
Q
So
if
we
were
to
say
that
it
could
not
be
used
for
that
purpose,
we
would
not
have
a
way
of
achieving
the
2040
comprehensive
plan.
So
I
I
I
want
to
make
sure
everybody
understands
that
context
in
terms
of
the
the
technical
argument
about
why
we're
about
why
I'm
making
this
motion
and
why.
Q
I
think
it's
the
right
thing
for
us
to
do
and
there's
a
significant
precedent
that
I
sent
you
all
by
email
for
using
ilod
for
new
construction
projects,
as
well
as
for
the
conversion
of
existing
projects
in
industrial
spaces.
Q
That
being
said,
I
also
just
want
to
provide
everybody
with
a
little
bit
of
context
about
what
what
this
project
is.
This
is
on
a
vacant
site
that
was
grain
silos.
Q
Those
grain
silos
were
knocked
down
a
couple
of
years
ago,
and
this
project
is
a
production
space
on
the
first
floor
and
160
units
of
affordable
housing,
including
31
units
that
will
be
affordable
at
40,
ami
or
lower,
if
they're
able
to
apply
for
mpha
vouchers
as
they're
hoping
to
so
that
means
we're
getting
some
of
the
deeply
affordable
housing
that
we
need
and
we're
locking
in
affordable
housing
at
a
variety
of
levels,
including
some
deeply
affordable
and
some
sort
of
workforce
housing
that
really
aligns
with
the
values
and
the
character
of
the
arts
district.
Q
In
many
conversations,
I've
had
with
a
lot
of
the
folks
who've
really
thought
about
what
supports
the
northeast
arts
district.
One
of
the
things
that
differentiates
our
arts
district
from
other
art
spaces
around
the
country
is,
is
it's
a
working-class
character
and
that's
something
that
I
think
actually
locking
this
in
the
long
term
is
an
extremely
valuable
benefit.
There's
been
some
objections
to
this
project
and
I
think,
certainly
you
know.
The
height
is
consistent
with
the
density
bonuses
available
in
the
2040
plan.
Q
We
are
certainly
stretching
the
upper
limits,
and
this
is
something
that
I
think
you
know
is
achievable
but
would
be
debated.
I
think
the
planning
commission
did
the
right
thing
by
both
approving
it
and
ordering
some
changes
that
I
think
make
real
improvements
to
adjust
the
building
to
orient
the
building
more
towards
the
california
building
and
make
it
more
compatible
with
what's
happening
on
the
existing
spaces.
Q
So
I
know
there's
been
a
lot
of
conversation
and
a
lot
of
discussion
about
this,
but
I
today
am
celebrating
approving
160
units
of
affordable
housing
and
some
additional
production
space
in
the
arts
district
and
I
hope
you'll
join
me
in
doing.
Q
B
Thank
you,
council,
member
fletcher,
and
the
clerk
is
noting
that
that
the
motion,
I
just
want
to
confirm
that
you've
moved
approval
of
the
application
and
the
rezoning
of
the
property
which
is
listed
under
item
six
on
the
biz
agenda.
M
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
very
much
appreciate
council
member
fletcher
describing
the
the
broader
context
of
of
this
proposal
and
certainly
how
it
comports
with
our
objectives
around
affordable
housing.
I
think
those
are
accurate
and
I
think
the
description
of
some
of
the
changes
that
were
made
at
planning
commission.
I
know
with
his
involvement
and
certainly
chair
of
the
committee
schroeder,
who
was
also
on
the
commission
some
of
the
work
they
did
to
modify
the
appropriately
modified.
M
In
my
opinion,
the
location
of
the
production
space,
and
certainly
my
interest
in
this-
is
not
the
discussion
around
context
for
the
neighborhood
or
anything
like
that.
This
is
a
very
consistent
mind.
Movement
is
very
consistent
with
just
how
we
treat
industrial
space
generally,
it's
a
diminishing
asset
that
we
have
that
we
do
have
in
the
2040
marked
out
validating
the
importance
of
having
places
where
people
can
make
things
where
people
can
work,
the
importance
of
production,
jobs
for
our
communities
and,
finally,
that's
codified
in
the
2040
moving
forward
and
that's
great.
M
M
The
thing
that
we
have
less
clarity
on
would
be
the
interface
between
those
two
important
goals:
housing
and
production
space
in
our
newly
designated
mixed
use,
designation,
which
is
basically
an
evolution
of
our
existing
island,
industrial
living
overlay,
designation
and-
and
this
is
important
for
my
ward-
and
I
think
the
city
in
general-
but
my
word
in
particular-
has
around
just
under
55
of
all
industrial
property
is
in
ward
1.,
and
what
I've
been
struggling
with
is
our
is
we're
in
between
the
old
designation
and
land
use
guidelines
and
looking
forward
to
the
new
designation.
M
We
do
not
have
formalized
criteria
to
check
the
box
of
what
is
not
just
a
component
of
a
development
that
requires
mixed
use,
but
the
actual
legitimate
functionality
that
would
make
it
so-
and
this
is
not
so
much
to
speak
to
this
particular
project,
which
I'm
becoming
more
familiar
with
in
these
more
recent
weeks.
But
some
of
the
proposals
that
that
have
come
across
my
desk
that
I
can
only
call
tokenism
and,
in
the
absence
of
guidelines,
I'd
be
somewhat
defensive.
M
M
However,
there
are
certain
key
things
that
we
haven't
codified,
that
still
are
not
present,
but
I
think
could
be
present
in
conversations
I've
had
with
the
developer
of
rather
recent
ones,
unfortunately,
where
the
simple
principle
that
we
would
apply
to
two
different
plats
with
having
two
different
uses
in
terms
of
how
they
would
interface
in
terms
of
their
ingress
in
egress,
how
about
residential
property
interfacing
with
a
production
property?
M
And
so
again
I
think
great
progress
has
been
made.
I'm
really
grateful
for
the
work
of
the
council,
member
and
chair
schroeder
and
the
commission
to
do
some
of
those
basic
fundamental
adjustments
that
we
don't
have
in
guideline
right
now
for
our
frontline
staff.
We
certainly
will
have
those
guidelines
moving
forward
and
so-
and
I
definitely
have
direct
first-person
concurrence
from
the
builder
that
they
agree
that
if
they
would
be
able
to
move
a
few
things
around,
they
would
absolutely
not
commingle
the
uses.
M
They
would
not
have
production
activity
and
trucks
on
the
same
location
as
the
residential,
but
they
weren't.
Given
that
guidance
and
that's
not
their
fault,
and
so
what
I'm
willing
to
do
is
given
the
progress
that's
been
made
in
the
last
weeks
is
to
suggest
that
we
postpone
this
till,
not
the
next
council
meeting
with
the
following
one,
which
I
believe
is
the
first
week
in
december
december,
4th
I'm
not
mistaken,
clerking
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong-
and
I
know
when
we
hear
a
call
for
a
postponement.
M
It's
like
okay
is
that
just
for
therapeutic
reasons.
What
will
we
gain
from
it?
Will
it
extend
the
angst
in
the
community
if
there's
disagreement,
but
I
have
strong
indication
that,
looking
at
how
the
plan
lays
out
the
willingness
of
the
developer
to
look
at
some
alternatives
to
that
layout,
that
would
be
significant
and
certainly
would
be
required
in
our
policies.
If
we
had
that
clarification
on
the
books
right
now,
I
don't
think
it
is
gratuitous
or
even
problematic
the
project.
As
noted.
M
Yes,
it's
an
affordable
project,
but
we're
not
pushing
the
button
and
it
will
pop
160
units.
It
has
not
been
vetted,
it's
not
in
queue.
It's
not
been
scored,
I'm
assuming
it
would
do
well
in
that
process,
but
these
these
these
funding
lines
are
are
years
out.
So
I
do
think
that
exploring
and
finalizing
this
notion
of
separation
of
uses
within
a
project
that
we
would
definitely
have
consideration
for
and
guidelines
for
if
they
were
two
separate
projects
that
we
would
be
able
to
figure
that
out.
M
A
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
I
won't
be
supporting
council
member
reich's
approval
and
will
be,
and
I
will
be
supporting
council
member
fletcher's
original
movement
to
grant
the
rezoning
this.
This
has
already
gone
through
planning.
Commission
we've
been
talking
about
this
project
for
for
quite
a
long
time.
I
think
it
has
been
vetted.
It
is
important
to
when
the
developer
has
has
worked
with
the
city,
especially
after
we
we
pushed
them
very
hard
at
planning,
commission
and
as
council
member
right
rightly
points
out.
A
There
was
a
lot
of
changes
that
needed
to
be
made.
Then
that
work
has
has
happened,
and
I
think
we
have
a
good
project
here.
I
really
think
I
really
appreciate
councilmember
wright
jumping
in.
I
think
that
those
are
some
very,
very
good
points,
but
I
also
think
that
holding
up
one
project
while
we
still
have
work
and
a
general
policy
to
do
is,
is
not
fair
to
the
developer,
as
well
as
all
the
folks
that
are
kind
of
working
on
this
project.
B
Q
Thank
you,
council
president.
I
I
would
not
support
a
postponement.
I
think
you
know.
I
have
heard
a
lot
of
feedback
on
this.
I
think
there's
been
a
lot
of
there's
been
a
lot
of
conversation.
I
think
there
is
a
lot
of
opportunity
to
continue
refining
some
of
these
details,
as
councilmember
reich
notes
and,
and
I
think
accurately
notes
the
the
process
of
getting
to
financing
getting
to
environmental
cleanup,
there's
a
whole
bunch
of
things
that
will
happen,
and
I
think,
there's
time
for
discussion.
Q
I
think
there's
opportunity
for
that.
I
do
not
think
that
the
discussion
in
the
context
of
could
the
project
be
killed
or
not,
and
the
kind
of
conversation
that
is
happening
right
now
is
going
to
get
us
to
a
better
outcome.
Q
I
think
it's
important
that
we
support
affordable
housing
development
and
I
think
it's
important
that
we
send
a
signal
that
we're
going
to
try
to
get
to
yes
on
affordable
housing
development,
and
I
think
that
this,
the
the
kinds
of
conditions
that
are
under
discussion,
probably
don't
belong
in
the
zoning
portion
of
this
discussion,
which
is
what
we're
actually
discussing
right
now.
Q
In
any
case-
and
so
I
I
I
don't
think,
postponing
is
what's
going
to
get
us
there-
I
actually
think
constructive
conversation
moving
forward
once
this
approval
is
done
is,
is
the
right
way
to
go,
and
I
would
ask
my
colleagues
to
move
this
forward
today.
A
B
E
P
N
A
B
B
B
So
thanks
for
everyone
who
has
dug
in
I
agree
with
council
member
reich
that,
once
the
built
form
overlay,
implementation
of
the
comprehensive
plan
is,
is
completed,
which
I
know
you
are
all
working
on
now.
You
know
we
will
have
set
that
stage
for
the
policy
level
and
I
think
it
will
give
a
lot
of
opportunity
for
the
planning,
commission
and
council
members
and
others
to
weigh
in
on
these
on
these
details.
So
I
appreciate
all
the
partnership.
B
F
Thank
you.
Madam
president,
I
just
wanted
to
note
that
you
know
I
will
be
supporting
this
motion
by
councilman
fletcher
today
we
absolutely
have
a
shortage
of
affordable
housing
in
the
city,
particularly
deeply
affordable
housing,
but
we
also,
you
know,
have
this
really
unique
artist
community
in
minneapolis
and
and
certainly
that
art
district.
F
The
one
of
the
challenges,
though,
that
we
do
have
in
minneapolis,
is
that
we
don't
have
spaces
for
artists
to
live
and
work,
and
so
this
contributes
to
that
and
as
well
as
the
the
deep
affordability
or
for
families,
and
so
I'm
happy
to
be
able
to
support
this
motion
today.
Thank.
C
B
Thank
you,
mr
clerk.
Thanks
to
my
colleagues
for
the
discussion,
I
don't
see
anyone
else
in
queue.
I
do
want
to
note
for
the
record
that
the
motion
to
approve
this
rezoning
includes
the
original
staff
findings
that
are
included
in
the
cped
report
see
no
further
discussion
clerk.
Well,
please
call
the.

B
G
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
wanted
to
say
a
few
words
on
item
one,
but
I'm
also
looking
at
item
seven.
I
know
we've
gotten
some
emails
about
a
couple
of
the
appointees.
With
some
questions
I
actually
saw
one
just
come
through.
There
was
a
concern
around
kind
of
the
process
for
the
open
appointments
process.
I
don't
know
if
the
clerk
saw
that,
but
maybe
just
a
point
of
inquiry
around
that
just
to
make
sure
we
are
following
the
process
and
I'm
able
to
do
these
appointments
today.
G
B
Maybe
oh
council
member,
you
were
muted
there
at
the
end,
but
I
I
think
I
caught
the
comments.
So
let's
take
up
item
seven
first
and
then
return
back
to
item
one
for
comment
there.
So,
mr
clerk,
this
item
is
related
to
appointments
to
our
police
conduct
oversight.
Commission,
as
council
member
cunningham
mentioned
in
the
report,
we
have
received
some
questions
about
the
process
for
open
appointments.
B
Interviewing
candidates,
the
process
related
to
what
is
publicly
available
related
to
candidates,
especially
those
who
have
not
been
selected
for
recommendation,
and
you
know
I
think
that
captured
the
question
that
councilman
johnson
just
asked
as
well,
and
we
may
also
have
staff
from
civil
rights
who
participated
in
this
particular
process
as
well.
Mr,
could
you
help
us
with
the
sort
of
overall
process
piece.
C
Madam
president,
I'll
be
happy
to
attempt
to
answer
some
of
those
under
the
council's
rules.
Rule
number
seven
section:
four:
it
talks
about
required
public
hearings
for
certain
appointments.
It
lists
the
charter
department
heads
there
and
a
number
of
boards
and
commissions
for
which
public
hearings
are
required.
The
police
conduct
oversight
commission
is
not
listed
among
those
that
require
a
public
hearing
or
an
appearance.
I'm
not
certain
where
the
requirement
is
for
an
appearance
in
front
of
the
committee.
I
don't
it's
certainly
not
in
the
council
rules
that
I
can
find.
C
So
I
can't
speak
further
to
that
piece
in
terms
of
what
information
is
available
publicly
with
the
agenda.
The
public
data
that
is
collected
through
our
application
process
is
provided
for
those
candidates
who
are
selected
for
appointment
or
consideration
for
appointment
by
this
body
as
the
mayor
and
council
are
the
appointing
authorities,
and
that
would
be
consistent
with
providing
that
information
to
the
public
consistent
with
our
privacy
principles,
data
privacy
principles,
which
have
been
adopted.
C
The
data
that
is
not
made
proactively
available
to
the
public
but
is
still
considered
public
data
and
might
be
available
in
response
to
a
data
practices
request,
would
then,
of
course,
be
the
information
about
candidates
who
have
applied
but
are
not
selected
for
appointment,
and
one
of
the
reasons
that
I
would
offer
for
that
that
is
in
alignment
with
our
data
privacy
principles
is,
of
course
it
is
a
bit
chilling
in
terms
of
applicants
and
increasing
the
pool
of
members
if
public
data
about
them
is
proactively
disclosed.
That's
not
my
comment.
Those
are
comments.
C
C
Certainly
does
cause
some
to
think
twice
about
whether
or
not
to
apply
given
that
extra
level
of
scrutiny.
That
is
upon
them,
of
course,
so
the
data
that
is
publicly
classified
as
public
data
under
the
law
we
make
available
with
the
agenda
packet
for
those
candidates
who
are
picked
by
the
appointing
authorities
for
that
opportunity
for
any
others.
Of
course,
the
data
that
we
have
that's
publicly
or
is
classified
as
public
data
is
available
upon
request.
G
Yes,
thank
you
and
I
know
councilmember
cunningham,
madam
president,
in
queue
asked
if
andrew
hawkins
is
online
and
able
to
speak
to
the
process.
I
guess
from
an
interview
standpoint,
kind
of
this
other
piece
that
was
raised
around
a
couple
of
the
appointees
is
there
in
law
enforcement
and
if
that
in
any
way,
is
a
consideration
or
a
potential
conflict
around
serving
in
this
role.
I
know
one
email
really
said:
look.
G
This
is
the
civilian
side's
kind
of
only
opportunity
around
oversight
and
in
terms
of
like
a
board
for
our
city,
and
so
I'm
just
wondering
about
the
thought,
process
and
intentions
behind
that
in
the
interview
process.
I
have
no
doubt
that
we've
got
some
really
great
candidates
for
the
pcoc
and
I
think
it
is
just
helpful
if
there
can
be
a
little
more
public
dialogue
talking
through
that
thought
process
and
the
intentionality
around
that.
B
Thank
you,
council
member.
It
looks
like
we've
added
our
civil
rights
staff
to
this
call,
who
can
perhaps
speak
to
some
of
the
detail?
B
I
will
note
that
I
I
also
do
not
serve
on
the
committee
and
so
was
not
part
of
the
process
of
approving
this
at
committee,
but
I
did
have
the
chance
to
speak
to
one
of
the
applicants,
who
has
been
the
focus
of
some
of
the
questions
and
concerns
who's.
B
So
I
was
very
grateful
that
she
was
willing
to
take
her
time
to
participate
and
volunteer
in
this
role.
She's
also
a
student
studying
public
policy,
and
so
she
has
a
perspective
that
goes
beyond
just
criminal
justice
to
see,
connections
between
housing
and
other
things,
part
of
her
experiences
working
with
youth
who
were
experiencing
homelessness
in
the
past.
So
I
was
again
grateful
that
this
particular
person
was
willing
to
step
up
and
volunteer.
S
Sure,
council,
president
bender,
I'm
happy
to
speak
to
this.
I'm
going
to
add
some
clarity
and
answer
any
questions
that
the
council
might
have
might
have
for
us
as
far
as
kind
of
what
the
process
entails
and
what
it
looked
like
this
year.
So
I
guess
just
to
quickly
start
I'm
andrew
hawkins,
I'm
the
chief
of
staff
for
the
civil
rights
department
and
this
year.
Obviously
you
know
we're
all
working
in
different
capacities.
I
was
kind
of
helping
out
with
overseeing
and
managing
the
appointment
process
for
the
pcoc.
S
S
So
I
know
maria
lee
from
our
staff
is
critical
and
kind
of
helping
to
manage
this
and
make
sure
that
we
reached
out
to
members
of
the
phs,
the
public
health
and
safety
commit
committee
to
participate
in
the
interview
we
reached
out
to
the
mayor's
office,
and
then
we
also,
which
is
something
that
was
fairly
new.
S
This
year,
we
actually
reached
out
to
all
of
the
council
members
just
to
kind
of
make
sure
everybody
knew
what
the
process
looked
like,
what
the
timeline
looked
like
and
kind
of
invite
them
and
their
staff,
if
they
wanted
to.
You
know
like
to
basically
join
the
call,
not
necessarily
in
an
interview
capacity,
but
just
to
kind
of
listen
in
to
see
how
things
were
going.
If
there
were
any
candidates
that
were
from
their
words,
we
made
sure
we
called
that
out
as
well.
S
So
we
did
have
a
number
a
number
of
applicants.
This
year
we
were
very
deliberate
and
doing
some
outreach
trying
to
make
sure
that
you
know
we
could
like
have
a
very
diverse
and
qualified
applicant
pool.
We
will
have
we're
currently
in
the
midst
of
beginning
the
second
round
of
interviews.
S
We
have
two
other
seats
that
we're
going
to
fill
for
2021's,
so
this
also
isn't
considered
a
closed
process
at
this
point
either
the
candidates
that
were
brought
forward
were
identified
by
the
group
which
contained
like,
as
I
previously
indicated,
civil
rights
staff,
mayoral
staff
and
council
representative
staff.
They
were
all
kind
of
uniformly
agreed
upon
to
be
the
best.
You
know
the
best
candidates
moving
forward.
They
all
interviewed
very
well.
S
This
also,
I
think,
represents
the
most
diverse
group
that
we
put
forward
for
the
pcoc,
and
I
mean
it's
been
at
least
since
my
time
with
the
city.
I
think
this
might
be
for
if
we
potentially
have
had
somebody
in
the
past,
but
I
think
this
is
by
far
the
most
candidates
we've
had
from
north.
So
we
do
have
some.
You
know
more
north,
lighter
representation,
which
I
think
is
important,
since
I
think
you
know
various
parts
of
the
city
bring
various
issues
you
know
forward.
S
As
you
know,
what
kind
of
what
their
priorities
are?
So
it's
good
to
have
that
representative
body
council.
President
bender
already
alluded
to
it.
You
know
we
have
one
member
who
you
know,
I
think
I
think
she's
pursuing
its
ethics
and
ethics
and
equality
and
law
enforcement
degree.
We
have
another
person
we
brought
forward.
Who
does
who's
done?
A
lot
of
youth
advocacy
work
with
you
know
you
saw
experiencing
homelessness
or
that
have
had
trouble
with
the
justice
system.
S
Already
we
have
another
person,
who's,
a
social
care
case
worker,
a
social
worker,
who's
very
involved
in
the
community,
and
also
a
lot
of
our
candidates.
This
year,
too,
are
bringing
that
personal
perspective
to
it.
Where
they're,
you
know,
it's
very
obvious.
You
know
from
sitting
down
with
them
and
having
a
chance
to
speak
with
them,
but
they
have
a
very
personal
connection
to
a
lot
of
this.
They
have
children
that
you
know
are
in
the
community,
get
impacted
by
this
so
yeah.
S
G
G
This
is
obviously
a
very
important
role
in
our
city
and
especially
with
all
the
conversations
going
on
right
now,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
there's
as
much
transparency
as
possible
around
it
and
vetting-
and
I
think
even
frankly,
madam
president,
just
hearing
your
personal
testimony
was
really
impactful
and
helpful
as
well
from
the
conversation
that
you
had,
and
you
know
happy
to
move
on
to
comments
on
item
number
one.
But
I
guess
maybe
we
see
if
any
other
colleagues
have
anything
to
say
about
item
number.
Seven.
B
C
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
too
on
the
agenda.
As
things
are
listed,
it
can
be
a
bit
confusing
because
people
are
listed
more
than
once.
As
you
are
aware,
this
council
has
asked
us
to
prioritize
this
body
because
it
was
not
able
to
meet
quorum
and
therefore
not
able
to
do
its
business.
The
staff
and
civil
rights
have
moved
very
expeditiously,
despite
the
very
detailed
process
that
mr
hawkins
described
for
you.
C
So
what
we're
doing
here
is
appointing
people
to
fill
out
the
existing
vacant
terms
and
then
immediately
appointing
them
to
a
new
term.
So
that's
why,
for
example,
people
will
be
filled
out
through
the
end
of
this
year
and
then
also
filling
out
a
new
term
through
2022.
just
wanted
to
clarify
in
case
there
was
concern
about
how
it
appeared
on
the
agenda.
B
Thank
you,
mr
carl,
and
some
of
the
feedback
we
have
received,
including
from
at
least
one
current
member
of
the
pcoc,
is
that
perhaps
for
future
appointments
inviting
the
folks
to
come
to
committee
to
speak
if
they'd
like.
So,
I
think
we'll
take
those
suggestions
and
follow
up
with
yourself,
mr
carl
and
the
chair
for
those
future
appointment
processes.
I
Thank
you.
Madam
president,
you
actually
covered
most
of
the
items
that
I
was
going
to
myself.
This
was
a
really
thorough
process
from
those
that
we
talked
to
that
were
actually
part
of
the
the
interviewing
panel.
They
said
this
is
one
of
the
better
processes
that
we've
ever
had
with
respect
to
some
of
our
boards
and
commissions.
I
just
want
to
speak
in
favor
of
all
of
the
recommendations
that
came
through.
I
D
Thank
you.
Madam
president,
I
came
into
this
meeting
prepared
to
vote
against
all
these
applicants
today
and
I've
been
really
uplifted
and
satisfied
by
the
conversation
and
I've
changed
my
mind
as
a
result
of
what
I've
heard
from
our
professional
staff
as
well
as
others
on
the
call
I
am
concerned
about
this
committee
because
it
just
receives
so
much
public
attention
and
any
concern
or
question
about
it
being
done
improperly
or
imperfectly.
D
We
are
all
imperfect,
was
a
concern
to
me,
but
I
do
think,
given
the
remote
situation
that
we're
under
and
the
amount
of
work,
that's
happened
and
the
support
of
so
many
of
my
colleagues.
I
will
vote
for
it
today.
So
don't
ever
think
that
a
conversation
during
a
council
meeting
won't
change
a
vote
because,
in
this
situation,
council
member
johnson,
bringing
this
up
actually
changed
mine
and
I'm
hopeful
that
more
dialogue
on
more
controversial
decisions
will
help.
People
like
me
open
our
minds
to
other
things.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you
councilmember,
and
on
that
note
I
I
know
we
all
expect
a
lot
of
scrutiny
and
questions
about
what's
happening
related
to
public
safety
in
the
city.
So
thank
you
to
the
people
who
got
in
touch
to
ask
questions.
B
As
I
noted,
I
think
it
will
help
inform
future
process,
and
I
I
think
that
once
folks
get
to
see
and
know
these
group
of
volunteers
that
we
are
if
they
are
approved
today,
that
their
work
will
be
really
consequential
for
our
city.
B
H
Thank
you,
madam
president.
You
know
I'll
say
that,
as
the
chair
of
the
committee,
that
this
was
the
first
time
that
I
chaired
a
committee
that
the
pcoc
had
appointments
coming
through
and
the
feedback
is,
is
very
well
heard
and
received
for
future
appointments
in
terms
of
creating
more
space
for
us
to
have
a
public
dialogue
at
the
committee
itself.
H
H
And
so
I
think
that
it's
really.
It's
quite
amazing
that
the
the
group
of
folks
that
we
are
bringing
forward
it
disproportionately
represents
black
women.
In
terms
of
like
this
small
pool
of
recommendations.
But
to
my
knowledge
we
have,
I
believe,
three
black
women
as
a
part
of
this
group.
Now,
that's
obviously
not
enough
they're
three
very
qualified
committed
black
women,
and
I
think
that
that's
very
important
for
us
to
to
raise
that
up
and
and
acknowledge
and
acknowledge
that
I
do
want
to
speak
to.
H
As
the
chair
we
received
a
letter
from
lynnea
jacobson
and
I
wanted
to
because
she
has
experienced
some
personal
attacks.
She
wrote
a
letter
to
the
to
us
as
council
members,
the
pcoc
and
specifically
the
public
health
and
safety
committee
members,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
pull
some
highlights
out
of
it.
It's
a
long
letter.
H
I'm
I'm
happy
to
send
it
to
to
other
council
members
as
folks
are
interested,
but
so
so
she
said,
council,
members,
pcoc
and
phs
committee
members.
Thank
you
so
much
for
accepting
me
and
moving
forward
my
appointment
as
a
new
member
of
the
police
conduct
oversight
committee.
I
am.
Writing
you
this
letter
to
ask
a
letter
asking
that
you
continue
to
support
my
appointment
and
my
efforts.
I've
been
a
resident
of
minneapolis
since
2007
and
settled
in
north
minneapolis
community.
When
purchasing
my
first
home
in
2012..
H
I
fell
in
love
with
minneapolis
because
of
what
it
had
to
offer
for
its
individual
communities.
Minneapolis
offers
cultures,
culture,
programs
and
activities
for
children,
community
events
and
the
arts
and
ways
to
be
an
active
participant
in
molding
and
shaping
your
neighborhoods
through
community
and
council
meetings.
H
My
initial
reason
reason
for
moving
to
minneapolis
was
because
I
started
a
career
in
public
safety
in
2006
and
needed
to
be
closer
to
my
parents
for
support
in
my
career.
I
have
always
played
a
supportive
role
to
law
enforcement
officers
and
leadership.
I've
also
had
the
privilege
of
organizing
and
participating
in
trainings
organizational
leadership
forums,
command,
staff
meetings
and
department
strategic
planning.
H
Most
importantly,
I
was
able
to
connect
with
others
and
build
relationships
with
the
leaders
and
the
front
line,
and
so
let
me
go
ahead,
and
so
so,
where
she
speaks
specifically
is,
however,
today
my
boys
are
13
and
18
and
at
times
and
the
times
couldn't
be
more
different
than
when
I
started
my
career.
My
husband
and
I
have
never
in
our
life,
been
worried
about
their
interactions
with
police
until
now,
because
they
are
old
enough
to
venture
out
into
the
community
on
their
own.
H
When
my
18
year
old
wants
to
have
friends
over,
I
tell
him
that
they
have
to
spend
the
night
or
leave
at
8pm,
because
I
don't
want
them,
leaving
our
neighbor
driving,
leaving
our
neighborhood
after
dark
due
to
crime
and
fear
of
interactions
with
the
police.
We
take
extra
precautions
and
find
ourselves
using
being
helicopter
parents,
because
we
have
reservations
about
our
local
law
enforcement.
H
I
will
forward
the
rest
of
this
letter,
but
I
just
wanted
to
to
name
that
we
have
somebody
who's
very
committed
to
our
community.
I
think
it's
huge
that
for
the
first
time-
well,
maybe
not
the
first
time,
but
at
least
I'm
excited
that
we
have
significant
north
side
representation
as
well
as
representation
of
black
women
who
bring
lots
of
different
perspectives.
So,
if
folks
are
interested,
I
can
send
over
that
letter
if
you
did
not
receive
it
as
well.
So
thank
you.
R
Yeah
I
really
appreciate
this
discussion
and
I
know
that
we
have
heard
concerns
about
this.
My
office
participated
in
some
of
the
interviews.
I
also
looked
back
and
look
into
the
process
and
understand
there
were
15
applications
and
we
went
through
a
very
thorough
process.
I
guess
the
point
that
I
wanted
to
lift
up
out
of
this
is
in
the
ordinance
we
don't
say
anything
about
a
restriction
on
somebody.
R
Who's
worked
in
any
of
these
jobs
that
we're
talking
about
now,
as
some
kind
of
indication
that
they
should
or
shouldn't
apply
and
a
lot
of
times.
People
will
have
a
job,
even
a
low-level
job
in
some
organization
that
doesn't
necessarily
mesh
with
you
know
the
leadership
of
that
organization
or
institution
with
their
values
or
where
they're
coming
from
and
all
of
those
things.
So
I
want
us
to
be
careful
about
making
assumptions
based
on
something
like
that,
and
a
label
like
that
that
might
even
be
temporary
in
somebody's
life
and
career.
R
I
also
do
know
at
least
one
of
the
applicants
informally,
and
I
think
that
she's
very
strong,
applicant
and
I'll
be
supporting
this,
but
I
think
it's
good
that
we
do
due
diligence
and
it
also
made
me
think
about
as
I'm
looking
at
the
ordinance
which
is
open
and
we're
amending.
Are
there
other
qualifications
and
there
are
other
considerations
or
maybe
there
is
a
requirement
we
want
to
put
in
the
ordinance
about
appearing
before
the
council.
R
Somehow
I
mean
that's
where
we
could
put
it,
and
this
has
given
me
food
for
thought,
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
people
know
the
door
is
open,
and
I
actually
hopefully,
in
the
next
weeks
or
a
couple
months
I'll,
be
talking
to
council
members
and
we're
doing
more
community
engagement
about
these
proposed
amendments
to
the
oversight
ordinance.
But
this
is
something
to
think
about.
R
If
we
decide
it
is
a
priority
and
where
would
we
actually
land
if
we
wanted
to
look
at
some
kind
of
restriction
related
to
outside
employment
on
this
border,
commission
or
anyone,
and
is
that
really
where
we
want
to?
R
We
go
go
if
we
don't
put
it
in
the
ordinance,
then,
of
course
it
could
be
some
soft
way
that
we're
trying
to
judge
it
and
we're
looking
at
it,
and
I
think
it
is
an
easy
way
from
someone
for
someone
from
the
outside
just
to
look
at
an
application,
see
some
highlights
and
then
try
to
make
a
judgment
call
just
based
on
that.
I
think
it
was
to
our
credit
and
to
the
team's
credit
that
they
dug
more
deeply
into
it,
actually
interviewed
10
people
and
made
a
careful
selection.
P
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
just
wanted
to
say
a
couple
more
things.
I
I
personally
invested
the
time
to
interview
all
of
these
commissioners
myself.
I
brought
one
of
my
staff
with
me
as
well.
The
letter
that
council
member
cunningham
read
from
I
think
demonstrates
the
kind
of
dedication
and
commitment
to
the
role
that
we
believe
we
want
to
see
on
a
commission
like
this.
P
P
P
Commissioners
with
first
hand,
experience
with
government
or
some
aspects
of
the
criminal
justice
system
and
who
have
seen
the
system
in
multiple
dimensions.
Up
close,
I
think,
have
really
strengthened
the
work
of
the
pcoc
in
the
past.
Also
impressive.
This
cycle
was
that
we've
had
the
most
applicants
of
color
to
ever
serve
on
this
commission.
So
I'm
hoping
that
this
diversity
of
thought
and
perspective
is
going
to
bring
true
positive
change
to
minneapolis.
P
The
entire
interview
panel
was
really
enthusiastic
about
this
group
of
appointees
and
the
potential
they
could
bring.
So
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
concerns
or
questions
from
my
colleagues
about
this,
but
I
want
to
give
my
enthusiastic
support
behind
councilmember
cunningham
for
these
applicants.
Thank
you.
B
I
don't
see
any
we
are
taking
up
the
whole
agenda
at
one
time,
though,
so,
if
anyone
changes
their
mind,
let
me
know
we'll
return
back
to
item
one
then,
with
council
member
johnson.
G
Thank
you,
madam
president,
so
I
just
wanted
to
spend
a
few
minutes
speaking
to
this
item.
The
good
news
with
neighborhoods
2020
is
the
racial
equity
formula.
That
is
huge.
It
is
a
good
thing
and
it
is
long
overdue.
G
Given
the
total
funding
pool
that
we
directed
staff
to
operate
under
when
developing
these
guidelines,
this
is
really
an
unnecessary
tension
that
would
not
exist
if
the
total
pool
is
larger
and
that
tension
puts
the
network
itself
at
risk.
G
In
the
best
case
scenario,
neighbors
will
have
volunteers
with
the
time
and
experience
to
take
on
all
of
that
administrative
work,
free
of
charge,
they'll
fund,
where
fundraise
their
way
up
to
a
minimum
level
to
be
able
to
keep
the
lights
on.
They
may
already
be
combined
or
will
combine
with
other
neighborhood
associations,
in
which
case
they
might
have.
Twenty
thousand
or
thirty
thousand
in
base
funding,
though
that
also
means
they'll,
have
even
more
work
on
their
plates
serving
thousands
of
additional
residents.
G
Let's
turn
to
this
draft
neighborhoods
2020
plan
to
understand
why
that
is
a
problem
I'm
going
to
quote
from
the
plan
neighborhood
level,
community
organizations
and
the
neighborhood
associations
that
provide
or
that
support
it
play
a
critical
role
in
keeping
residents
informed
connected
to
their
community
and
empowered
to
guide
and
influence
decisions
that
affect
their
lives
through
past
and
current
efforts.
Neighborhood
associations
have
helped
improve
safety,
celebrate
diversity,
build
community,
preserve
housing,
stock,
promote
economic
vitality,
foster
a
sustainable
environment
and
improve
health
throughout
the
city.
G
End
quote:
those
are
the
words
in
our
neighborhoods
2020
plan,
so
we're
in
this
dilemma,
where
the
funding
pool
that's
currently
anticipated
is
likely
going
to
result
in
no
longer
having
a
cohesive
network,
but
instead
having
a
gaps
throughout
the
network,
which
means
thousands,
tens
of
thousands
or
maybe
even
over
the
years
from
now
over.
A
hundred
thousand
residents
will
no
longer
have
such
an
organization
playing
what
the
neighborhood
2020
plan
states
is.
G
G
So
the
question
of
the
overall
pool
of
funding
is
interrelated
to
this
item
before
us.
Today
we
have
an
opportunity,
during
the
upcoming
budget
process,
to
both
raise
the
base
funding
to
maintain
the
network
and
do
more
to
correct
the
historic
disinvestments
in
communities
of
color
that
have
taken
place
over
decades.
G
I'm
in
conversation
with
a
few
colleagues
and
staff
on
a
budget
amendment
working
on
a
budget
amendment
to
do
just
this.
It's
also
not
going
to
be
easy.
Given
the
budget
constraints
we
are
facing
from
kovid,
but
I
hope
we
can
find
a
way.
I
hope
my
colleagues
will
keep
an
open
mind
during
the
upcoming
budget
presentation
and
try
to
find
a
way
to
increasing
the
base
pool
can
be
a
win-win
that
helps
advance
these
critical
priorities
of
our
city.
Thank.
H
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
just
wanted,
I
I
said
spoke
to
this
in
committee,
but
wanted
to
make
sure
to
do
it
on
this
larger
platform
as
well.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
I
say
a
big
thank
you
to
director
ncr
director
david
rubidor,
as
well
as
the
policy
director
state,
steve
gallagher,
all
of
the
neighborhood
associations,
all
of
the
individuals
and
volunteers
who
have
worked
on
this
and
cura
who
have
all
worked
together
on
this
significant
body
of
work.
H
For
quite
some
time
now
we
passed
a
rather
rigorous
staff
direction.
H
Last
march,
that
established
the
steering
committee,
as
well
as
expectations
around
a
racial
equity
analysis
and
and
the
questions
that
that
we
had
to
wrangle
with
as
a
steering
committee
in
which
I
co-chaired
with
our
budget
director
micah
intermel
was
around
when
we,
the
based
on
the
information
that
we
get,
that
we
got
gathered
through
the
racial
equity
analysis
conducted
by
cura
that
if
we
wanted
to
leverage
the
funding
that
goes
to
neighborhood
organizations
that
that
can
be
done
through
this
racial
equity
funding
formula.
H
However,
with
25
000
base
funding
with
a
with
a
4.1
million
dollar
pool
that
would
then-
and
that's
one
of
the
recommendations
that's
being
brought
forward
with
the
budget
committee-
is
to
decrease
that
based
funding
to
ten
thousand
dollars,
slowly
decreasing
over
it
over
time.
So
struggling
with
that
question
as
well,
as
is
the
priority
to
maintain
a
city-wide
network
of
community
neighborhood
organizations.
H
That
is
a
challenging
question,
and
I
think
that
that
question
is
again
before
us.
We
wrangled
with
this
last
march
when
it
came
before
us
and-
and
it's
that's
still
the
question
that
we
have
a
lot
of
folks
say
they
don't
want
and
either
or
they
want
to
both
end.
It
is
very
challenging
to
do
a
both
and
with
the
with
the
pot
of
money
that
we
have
and
if
folks
look
at
the
legislative
file,
the
racial
equity
analysis
is
in
there.
That
shows
the
map
of
the
racial
equity
impact.
H
H
But
we
are
at
a
very
different
place,
though,
than
we
were
18
months
ago,
and
that
is
due
to
incredibly
hard
work
that
ncr
put
into
this.
Mr
gallagher
had.
I
believe
it
was
either
weekly
or
monthly
meetings
with
neighborhood
organizations
gather
their
feedback
engage
in
conversations
with
them.
We,
as
council
members,
have
received
a
lot
of
emails.
I
mean
just
incredibly
rigorous
work
and
where
folks
are,
is
that
everybody
is
on
the
same
page,
that
racial
equity
is
a
priority
and
the
question
has
been
moved
to
do.
H
We
need
to
expand
the
the
base
funding.
So
that's
that's
a
different
conversation
that
is
before
before
us
in
with
the
budget,
but
I
do
just
want
to
say
specifically
to
these
program
guidelines,
excellent
job
to
ncr
staff,
much
gratitude
to
the
neighborhood
organizations
and
all
the
steering
committee
members
who
all
made
this
possible.
So
thank
you.
Everyone.
B
I
said
this
at
committee,
but
I
want
to
reiterate
how
much
I
appreciate
staff's
work
in
really
engaging
with
the
right
partners
and
you
know,
building
the
support,
as
the
chair
mentioned,
under
your
leadership
customer
cunningham,
to
really
focus
and
raise
equity
in
this
program.
B
I
shared
some
stories
at
committee
about
you
know
about
my
experience
with
the
neighborhood
organizations
and
just
seeing
such
a
dramatic
change,
thanks
to
the
leadership
of
folks
in
ward
10,
making
sure
that
the
organizations
are
leveraging
their
significant
public
dollars
to
really
do
outreach
to
advocate
for
folks
who
live
in
the
neighborhood,
no
longer,
no
matter
how
long
they've
lived
there.
Of
course,
we're
10
is
a
high
renter
population.
B
A
couple
of
my
neighborhoods
have
90
renter
and
really
just
making
sure
that
they're
engaging
and
advocating
for
folks
who,
maybe
don't
even
know
they
have
a
neighborhood
organization
until
until
someone
reaches
out
to
them.
So
it's
been
a
big
huge
shift
in
word,
10
and
a
testament
to
a
lot
of
folks
work,
and
I
think,
also
just
a
reaction
to
us
being
more
clear
that
we
do
want
this
program
to
be
focused
in
equity
and
race
equity.
B
We
want
there
to
be
standards
of
accountability,
and
I
do
think
that
the
piece
that's
coming
about
funding
is
really
critical
to
that.
We
can't
really
do
equitable
investment
and
do
everything
at
the
same
time,
and
so
those
will
be
some
other
questions
before
us.
So
thanks
again
to
everyone
who's
worked
on
this,
I
don't
see
any
further
discussion
on
the
committee
report
so
accounts
vice
president
jenkins.
F
Yeah,
thank
you,
madam
president,
and
sorry
for
my
delayed
in
entering
into
this
conversation,
but
just
briefly
want
to
state
as
a
as
a
very
active
and
fully
participating
member
of
the
steering
committee.
F
I
I
stand
by
the
formula
that
has
been
created
as
well
and
concur
with
councilmember
cunningham
in
gratitude
to
the
staff
and
and
the
neighborhood
organizations,
and
to
cura
that
have
been
very,
very
engaged
and
involved
throughout
some
very
tumultuous
times
in
our
community
to
to
to
work
and
continue
to
work,
to
try
to
get
this
right
and
so
I'll
be
looking
forward
to
our
budget
discussions.
F
But
but
we
certainly
must
maintain
this
sort
of
race,
equity
or,
just
as
you
said,
council
member
couldn't
have
just
equity
in
the
in
the
funding
formula.
Thank
you.
E
E
C
B
M
Thank
you.
Madam
president.
The
committee
forwards
five
items
for
today's
consideration
item.
One
is
the
fourth
street
north
4th
street
reconstruction
project
and
the
actions
to
move
forward
with
that
item.
2
is
the
weber
parkway
44th
avenue,
north
lindale
avenue
north
and
humboldt
even
north,
a
reconstruction
project
and
the
actions
required
to
move
forward
with
that.
M
The
remaining
items
are
item:
three
temporary,
a
construction,
easement
agreement
with
the
park
and
rec
for
storm
water
tunnel
reconstruction
work
item

for
repair
and
replacement
of
private
water
valves
and
disconnects,
and
the
final
item
is
a
bid
for
variable
message
signs.
Madam
president,
I
move
all
items
as.
O
C
B
That
carries
and
that
report
is
adopted.
The
next
order
of
business
is
the
resolutions,
and
we
have
the
two
honorary
resolutions
that
we
presented
at
the
beginning
of
the
meeting,
recognizing
the
leadership
and
service
of
director
bill
mccorbell
and
the
resolution
recognizing
dr
fari
father
who's,
leaving
way
too
soon,
so
appreciative
of
both
of
their
leadership.
I'll
ask
for
a
motion
to
adopt
both
of
those
honorary
resolutions.
G
E
C
B
B
F
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
do
want
to
lift
up
the
fact
that
next
friday
is
transgender
day
of
remembrance
and
and
just
read
the
resolution
that
we
passed
in
conjunction
with
the
pogo
committee
report
and
note
that
next
friday,
the
I-35w
bridge,
as
well
as
the
target
building,
will
be
lit
up
in
in
pink
and
blue
coloration.
F
That
signifies
the
transgender
flag
in
honor
of
transgender
day
of
remembrance.
And
so,
if
you
will
indulge
me,
I
will
share
this
resolution
observing
november
20th
as
transgender
day
of
remembrance,
whereas
sadly
2020
has
already
claimed
the
lives
of
at
least
34
transgender
or
gender
non-conforming
people
who
were
fatally
shot
or
killed
by
other
violent
means
and
whereas,
prior
to
the
end
of
the
summer.
F
This
year,
the
number
of
deaths
of
transgender
and
gender
non-conforming
people
due
to
violent
crimes
had
already
surpassed
the
total
number
reported
for
2019
and
whereas
we
face
an
epidemic
of
violence
against
transgender
women
of
color.
In
the
united
states,
black
and
latinx
transgender
women
represent
a
vast
majority
of
these
fatalities
and
experiencing
violence
at
disproportionately
higher
rates
and
whereas
too
often,
these
murders
and
violent
attacks
go
unreported
or
are
misreported.
F
Transgender
women
of
color
face
violence
every
day
and
fear
turning
to
law
enforcement
for
help
due
to
furthering
interactions
of
violence,
victim
blaming
stigmatization
and
harmful
characterization,
and
whereas,
on
june
1st
this
year,
an
estimated
group
of
30
men
brutally
beat
ayanna
dior,
a
black
transgender
woman
from
minneapolis
who
narrowly
escaped
the
escalating
attack
that
occurred
outside
of
the
store
and
whereas
thankfully

was
able
to
escape
with
her
life.
Yet
this
incident
demonstrates
the
prescient
danger
of
transphobic
violence
against
trans
women
of
color
in
our
community.

Thank
you,
madam
president.
All
I
just
wanted
to
add
to
that
is
that
I
love
being
trans
and
I'm
grateful
to
live
in
a
city
that
holds
space
for
our
community.
So
that's
all
I
have
thank
you,
council
vice
president
jenkins,
for
bringing
that
forward.

Thank
you
both,
I
think,
we've
all
seen
the
ways
that
your
representation
on
the
council
has
so
many
impacts.
I'll,
never
forget
the
dramatic
shift
we
saw
in
people
coming
to
city
hall
and
testifying
and
feeling
so
much
more
comfortable
in
so
many
ways,
including
and
expressing
their
gender
identity
verbally
and
and
it
just
was
palpable.
I
don't
know
if
other
people
noticed,
but
I
certainly
did-
and
it's
just
one
of
the
very
many
ways
that
your
leadership
is
so
important.
