Description
COVID-19 Update
A
All
right,
good
morning,
everyone
I'm
Lisa
bender
I'm,
the
president
of
the
Minneapolis
City
Council
I'm
gonna,
look
to
the
clerk
to
guide
us
through
this,
which
is
I
just
say
in
plain
language.
For
folks
who
are
watching,
we
had
intended
to
adjourn
to
a
closed
session
for
a
security
and
health
briefing
about
kovat
19:00.
We
had
a
request
to
hold
this
meeting
in
public,
which
we
are
honoring.
Our
intention
was
never
to
you
know
to
have
anything
in
secret
at
all.
A
There's
a
press
conference
coming
up
later
this
afternoon
and
then
public
presentations
on
Monday
and
Wednesday
at
our
committee
as
I
said
earlier.
So
today's
discussion
from
staff
from
interim
city
coordinator
mark
ruff
and
our
Health
Commissioner
aggression,
music
aunt,
will
be
a
very
brief
preview
of
those
more
detailed
conversations
coming
up
on
Monday
and
Wednesday.
A
There
is
an
all
department
head
meeting
at
noon
on
this
topic,
so
we
will
have
to
be
brief
because
of
the
department
heads
needing
to
leave,
but
I
know
they're
available
as
and
they
will
be
at
the
press
event
later
today.
So
I'll
turn
to
the
clerk
for
the
procedural
guidance
about
how
to
convene
this
meeting
as
an
open
meeting.
Madam.
B
A
You
mr.
Clark,
so
we'll
begin
with
a
brief
overview
from
interim
coordinator
ruff
about
some
of
the
preparations
that
staff
have
been
making
for
internal
operations
for
external
supports
for
partnership
opportunities.
Again.
I
just
want
to
emphasize
so
much
that
if
something
isn't
said
right
now,
it
doesn't
mean
it
isn't
happening.
There
are
every
department
across
the
city.
Enterprise
is
preparing
for
accommodations,
coming
forward,
we're
working
to
support
our
employees
in
multiple
ways
and
be
there
to
support
the
members
of
the
public.
A
C
C
Ok,
so
the
effort
today
I
think,
is
the
speed
at
which
this
is
unfolding
and
the
uncertainty
about
how
long
it's
gonna
last
and
so
that's
part
of
what's
different
about
recovery
from
a
disaster
or
some
you
know
storm
or
something
like
that,
that
it
is
an
uncertain
future.
I
think
we
as
a
staff
are
following
closely-
and
we
have
this
great
benefit
of
a
very
experienced
health
commissioner,
who
will
address
you
of
her
advice.
C
I
think
part
of
what
the
coaching
that
we
are
taking
is
that
what's
happening
in
New,
Rochelle,
New,
York
or
in
Seattle
helps
inform
our
act,
but
we
shouldn't
necessarily
replicate
exactly
what
those
actions
are
because
we're
at
a
different
state
of
this
incidence,
and
we
are
also
listening
closely
to
community
on
their
requests
and
their
suggestions.
So
I'm
gonna
give
you
a
couple
of
examples
of
not
just
a
preparedness
that
the
council
mentioned
pump
flow
president
mentioned
this
morning,
but
also
actions
that
we
already
undertaking.
C
So,
for
example,
Hennepin
County
in
the
assessor's
office
have
both
determined
that
they
can,
instead
of
having
Assessors,
go
into
people's
houses
for
this
period
of
time,
they
can
undertake
exterior
examinations
of
residences
to
determine
value.
So
that's
a
way
of
both
keeping
our
workforce
healthy.
It's
a
way
of
keeping
residents
healthy
and
we
know
that
the
concern
about
who's
coming
into
my
home
is
going
to
be
increased.
So
we
have
are
even
this
morning
our
C
ped
staff,
our
regulatory
Services
staff,
our
health
staff,
all
talking
about.
C
How
are
we
going
to
work
through
inspections
in
this
environment?
And
what
do
we
need
to
do
to
make
sure
that
again
we
are
keeping
our
staff
as
as
as
healthy
as
possible,
with
the
understanding
that
we
don't
have
a
workforce
like
in
a
downtown
office
building
where
we
can
send
95%
of
our
workforce
to
work
remotely
I
mean
we
have
fully
a
third
of,
if
not
more,
of
our
workforce.
C
That
has
to
be
on
premises
or
in
community
doing
the
work
that
you've
charged
them
all
to
do
right,
and
so
how
do
we
adapt
is
where
we
are
n,
not
just
the
preparation,
but
the
adaption
phase?
The
same
goes
with
public
meetings.
The
mayor
sent
an
email
out.
We
are
looking
to
restrict
the
number
of
public
meetings,
but
we
still
want
the
city
to
function
as
much
as
it
can
function.
C
C
It
may
take
a
different
tenor,
but
we
still
want
to
move
forward
on
as
much
as
possible
in
doing
the
work
of
folks
business,
with
always
the
understanding
that
preparedness
and
response
is
on
a
spectrum,
meaning
that
we
moving
from
one
space
to
another,
meaning
that,
based
on
certain
indications,
certainly
if
the
Minneapolis
school
district
closes.
If
a
number
of
school
districts
closed,
that's
going
to
change
what
our
response
is
for
our
workforce
right.
C
C
Always
that
expectation
that
we
will
gradually
move
out
of
some
of
these
restrictions
and
we
shouldn't
just
rely
on
what
somebody
is
doing
in
the
other
part
of
the
country,
but
upon
our
experts
to
give
us
advice
and
when
we
move
out
of
that,
so
that's
the
kind
of
the
full
view
or
where
we
are
today.
We
will
certainly
be
happy
next
week
to
give
you
more
details
and
answer
your
questions
about
what
does
this
mean
for
this
department?
C
What
does
this
mean
for
this
department,
but
I
mean
in
this
meeting
at
noon
is
a
very
important
one
for
us
to
be
able
to
compare
the
notes.
That's
been
done,
so
we
also
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
treating
our
workforce
as
fairly
as
possible,
and
we
certainly
take
and
welcome
the
staff
direction
from
the
City
Council
this
morning,
which
is
I'm,
giving
you
the
report
from
what
is
the
internal
work,
which
is
primarily
my
charge
right.
We
have
a
great
deal
of
departments.
C
I
know
we
are
working,
have
already
been
working
with
see
ped,
for
example,
on
supporting
small
business.
So
what
can?
Where
can
we
be
doing
in
the
meantime
and
you
will
be
hearing
from
them
as
well,
so
Madam
President
I
think
that's
enough
for
right
now,
but
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
brief
questions
before
I
turned
over
to
Gretchen
Thank.
D
C
My
chair
comes
so
member
Gordon,
I,
don't
know
if
she
has,
but
you
will
be.
You
will
be
receiving
information
about
the
the
procedures
that
we
know
we
can
administrative
Lee.
Do
that
I
think
we
will
want
to
work.
There's
not
just
the
public
work
side
of
it.
Well,
there
is
the
finance
side
of
it
and
so
want
to
make
sure
that
both
of
those
folks
and
the
communication,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
before
that
happens,
we
have
3-1-1
fully
prepared.
So
they
understand
what
how
they
can
respond
to
questions.
A
You
know
economic
changes.
You
know.
We
do,
of
course
have
paid
sick
time
required
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis.
We
collectively
passed
that
policy,
so
if
folks
have
any
questions
about
their
eligibility
or
enforcement
of
paid
sick
time,
our
civil
rights
department
has
a
website
that
it
answers
all
the
questions.
It
gives
contact
information
for
employees
who
need
any
answers
about
their
right
to
paid
sick
time.
We
are
like
I
mentioned
this
morning,
and
mr.
A
Roth
could
talk
about
this
more
making
preparations
for
a
compassionate
approach
to
supporting
our
own
employees
through
their
paid,
sick
and
vacation
time
and
making
accommodations
for
different
scenarios
where
folks
may
need
to
work
from
home
or
take
time
off,
recognizing
the
different
types
of
jobs
within
our
city,
enterprise
and,
of
course,
wanting
to
support
the
workers
who
have
those
jobs
that
require
on-site
work
and
and
making
sure
that
they
are
treated
equally
and
fairly.
To
the
folks
who
are
it's
easier
to
work
from
home
or
have
a
laptop
or
those
things
are.
A
It
department
is
working
on
accommodation,
so
I
think
we
have
both
those
short-term
things.
You
know
preparing
our
workforce,
making
decisions
in
coordination
with
the
Minnesota
Department
Health
about
public
meetings
and
and
employee
health,
but
then
those
longer-term
economic
impacts
that
might
come,
for
example,
from
small
businesses,
seeing
less
income
or
from
workers
who
are
not
protected
with
enough
leave
to
have
to
start
to
have
economic
impacts
or
some
of
those
longer-term
things.
We
don't
want
residents
to
face
eviction
or
face
water
shut
off
or
face
their
energy
cut
off.
A
So
some
of
those
things
like
water,
we
have
direct
control
over
some
of
those
are
in
partnership
with
our
utilities
and
I
know.
Counselor
Gordon
Schrader
are
in
communication
with
our
utilities.
We've
done
outreach
to
our
legislative
delegation
and
partners
at
the
county.
Our
housing
staff
are
being
very
proactive
in
addressing
folks
who
are
experiencing
homelessness,
who
may
need
housing
or
shelter
during
this
time,
so
those
are
more
in
the
longer
term.
Preparations
about
potential
economic
impacts,
but
all
of
that
work
is
is
happening
within
the
different
departments.
E
You,
madam
president,
I,
have
a
the
councillor
Gordon.
This
question
about
water
has
to
do
with
what
happens
to
people
haven't
paid
their
water
bills
and
then
their
water
will
be
turned
off.
My
question
is
about
this
ridiculous
rush
to
Costco
to
buy
pallets
of
water,
and
that
indicates
to
me
that
people
are
afraid
that
they
won't
have
the
source
of
water
and
I.
E
Think
that
that's
a
that's
my
bigger
concern
is
we
don't
just
provide
water
for
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
but
we
provide
water
for
what
20
other
suburbs
and
I
think
there
needs
to
be
some
sort
of
statement.
I've
talked
to
the
mayor
about
this
that
the
water
still
comes
out
of
the
river.
It
goes
through
an
ultra
filtration
plant,
it's
not
a
heavily
staffed
operation.
E
It
doesn't
come
into
contact
with
people
and
we're
going
to
be
providing
water
for
all
of
the
suburbs
in
the
city,
and
you
don't
need
to
be
stocking
up
on
pallets
of
bottled
water.
Now
you
might
if
your
waters
been
turned
off
for
another
reason,
but
where
it
sounds
like
we're
not
going
to
do
that
either.
But
that's
not
as
much.
My
angle,
my
angle,
is
this
fear
factor
of
people
going
to
the
stores
and
buying
all
of
the
food
or
all
of
the
toilet
paper.
E
C
President
councilmember
Goodman,
my
understanding
is
that
a
minimal
crew
we
can
run
fully
our
water
operations
with
less
than
10
people,
and
that's
just
at
the
Fridley
and
Columbia
Heights
plants,
which
are
also
redundant
and
treat
water
a
little
differently
and
are
very
effective
in
the
way
that
water
is
delivered
so
I
think
it's
an
example
of.
One
of
the
reasons
we
have
customers
is
the
quality
of
the
water
and
the
quality
of
the
delivery.
Madame.
E
C
E
The
kind
of
main
thing
I
want
to
get
out
is
that
we're
not
going
to
have
a
problem
with
serve
basic
services
like
fire
or
water.
I
know
there's
many
other
issues,
but
we're
it
like
in
a
Maslow's
hierarchy
of
problems.
Here,
I
mean
people
are
have
such
a
fear
factor
that
I
think
it
is
part
of
our
job
to
be
honest
and
transparent
and
confident
where
we
know
we
can
be
and
on
the
water
issue
of
water.
We
can
be
and
I
appreciate
that
response.
Thank.
A
You
I
have
never
have
colleagues
in
queue.
I
do
I'm,
noting
the
time
and
I
want
to
invite
Kershner
music
ant
to
just
maybe
give
a
little
overview
about
how
we're
working
together
with
the
state
department
of
house
and
how
you
know,
councilmembers
city
staff
can
expect
Communications
to
come
about
shifting
recommendations
from
health
experts.
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
So
yes,
if
there
is
so
much
to
say
in
so
little
time
at
this
particular
venue,
we
have
had
incident
command
for
a
couple
weeks
in
place
and
we
are
expanding
it
as
the
as
the
response
changes.
It's
of
great
comfort
to
me
to
have
mark
ruff
in
the
position
he's
in
it's
been
fantastic
to
work
with
him
and
I
have
great
confidence
in
our
in
our
partnership.
F
F
I
guess
I'm
still
a
nurse,
but
when
you
needed
to
go
into
isolation,
you
you
put
me
your
all
your
protective
equipment
on
and
then
oops
I
forgot
something
and
you
take
it
all
off
and
you
go
get
that
box
of
Kleenex
and
you
put
it
all
put
a
new
set
back
on.
You
go
in
there's
sort
of
a
sense
of
abundance
about
protective
equipment,
and
that
is
not
the
environment
we're
in
right
now.
F
There
are
guidance
for
these
n95
masks
that
are
ultra
filtration
and
how
they
can
be
used
five
times
or
more,
and
so
we
are
creating
that
guidance
for
our
own
staff
in
their
use
and
then
we're
also
thinking
about.
Does
everybody
have
to
use
them,
or
we
have
some
folks
go
in
like
the
firefighters
go
in
first
and
they're
using
masks
and
then
only
when
they
say?
F
Yes,
we
do
need
some
police
help
here,
put
a
couple
of
masks
on
and
come
in,
so
we're
looking
at
all
our
procedures
and
not
just
the
equipment
themselves,
but
trying
to
keep
people
safe
in
looking
at
sort
of
following
or
it
were
still
in
in
Minnesota,
in
a
containment
phase,
meaning
we
can
identify
where
cases
that
are
people
that
are
positive
got
the
disease.
So
we
can
say:
oh
yeah,
you
got
it
from
that
person
and
so
I'm
gonna
learn
everything
about
you
and
your
behavior.
F
While
you
were
sick
and
who
you
interacted
with
and
then
I'm
going
to
talk
to
all
of
them,
those
that
aren't
sick,
yet
I'm
gonna
have
them
stay
home
for
14
days.
The
ones
that
are
sick,
we're
gonna,
make
sure
they're
taken
care
of.
That
is
the
best
way
that
we
want
to
try
and
control
this
once
we
find
that
people
have
gotten
the
disease
and
they
don't
I,
don't
know
where
you
know:
I
wasn't
on
a
trip.
I
didn't
I,
didn't
know.
Who
else
had
it?
F
Then
you
lean
into
something
called
community
mitigation,
which
is
where
we
don't
want
people
to
gather
in
large
groups,
because
we
don't
know
where
all
those
people
came
from
that
are
gathering
together.
So
there
will
be
a
press
conference
later
today
that
the
state
is
going
to
have
and
I
think
they
will
help
us
understand
how
we
might
be
moving
into
guidance,
not
absolutes,
but
guidance
that
would
include
some
community
mitigation.
F
We've
done
a
tremendous
amount
of
consultation
with
folks,
small
arts,
businesses
that
want
to
call
and
find
out.
How
can
they
stay
in
business
through
this
time,
using
some
of
the
guidance
of
six
feet
of
separation
and
ten
minutes?
So
maybe
there's
a
book
reading
and
you
just
spread
the
chairs
out
and
everyone's
six
feet
apart
and
or
maybe
you
go
outside.
So
there
are
lots
of
strategies
outside
of
these
large
venues
that
people
can
use
to
still
stay
in
business
and
and
keep
keep
the
livelihood
and
well-being
of
our
community.
F
A
I
saw
mr.
ruff
stepped
out
with
a
public
work
structure.
Who
was
probably
here.
Hearing
us
discuss,
water
I
did
ask
if
there
was
any
way.
I
know.
This
meeting
is
extremely
important
and
has
every
department
head
in
the
city,
I
am
gonna
see
if
they
can
postpone
it
a
little
while
so
we
can
ask
questions,
I'm
gonna,
ask
my
colleagues
I,
have
five
council
members
in
queue
to
just
ask
your
question:
we'll
gather
them
and
then
ask
mr.
A
ruff
and
Miss
music
ant
to
address
them,
and
if
there
are
things
that
cannot
be
accomplished
now,
for
any
reason,
we
will
gather
them
either
a
for
communication
later
today,
over
the
weekend
or
on
the
scheduled
hearing
community
meetings
on
Monday
and
Wednesday.
So
we
have
customer
Johnson,
then
Ellison
Council,
vice
president
and
more
Sammy
and
Fletcher
counselor,
Bird,
Johnson
and
I'm
Connor.
Thank.
G
You,
madam
president,
and
I,
appreciate
councilmember
Goodman
talking
about
the
hoarding
issue.
That's
going
on
with
some
supplies.
I
was
at
a
Target
store
last
night
and
some
constituents
spotted
me,
and
they
said
this
is
the
third
store
we've
gone
to
to
try
to
get
toilet
paper
and
they're
out
and
sure
enough.
G
G
It's
a
lot
of
news
articles
and
stories
around
lack
of
testing,
that's
going
on
where
people
have
a
lot
of
the
different
symptoms
and
yet
they're
not
getting
tested
and
we've
even
seen
in
Seattle,
where
some
folks
have
who
haven't
qualified
for
formal
testing
have
tested
positive
through
research
based
testing.
So
I'm
wondering
if
you
can
help
dispel
concerns
around
testing
availability
with
the
city's
travel
policies.
I'm
wondering
where
we're
at
with
that
I
know
I
believe
mdh
is
actually
restricted.
G
Travel
for
30
days,
non-essential
travel
as
they
get
a
handle
on
this,
and
so
I
was
actually
even
out
traveling
on
behalf
of
the
city
earlier
this
week,
and
so
it
would
be
helpful
to
know
about
that
and
then
I
had
one
other
one.
But
it's
slipped
off
to
have
my
mind,
so
maybe
I'll
I'll.
Think
of
that
return.
A
Thank
you.
Cancer
M
is
music
ant,
so
miss
Roffe
is
at
the
meeting,
which
is
starting
now
he
was
hoping
you
could
be
there
in
about
15
minutes,
of
course,
you're
a
critical
voice
in
that
meeting
with
our
department,
heads
and
I
know,
I
mean
this
is
really
important,
but
also,
of
course,
our
department
heads
are
preparing
and
doing
all
the
things
that
we're
talking
about
now
so
I'm
just
going
to
gather
all
the
questions
and
again
will
direct
the
health
questions
to
you
will
collect
the
others.
H
Yeah
I
had
one
question
and
certainly
some
of
the
lack
of
toilet
paper
and
horror.
Some
of
the
hoarding
is
illustrating
our
need
for
more
debate,
but
the
days
in
the
US
but
anyway
so
I
I,
just
wanted
to
say
I
know
that
mr.
ruff
is
coordinating
with
a
lot
of
different
partners.
Intergovernmental
partners
and
I
know
that
while
the
council
and
the
mayor
don't
have
authority
over
evictions,
I
was
wondering
if
anyone's
been
in
touch
with
the
County
Sheriff
to
see.
If
we
can
get
a
commitment
that
they
will
not
enforce
eviction
actions.
H
I
I
haven't
had
that
conversation
with
the
County
Sheriff,
but
I
think
it
and
I'm
happy
to
reach
out,
but
also,
if
any
of
my
colleagues
or
the
mayor
are
interested
in
sending
a
unified
message,
I
would
be.
I
would
be
in
support
of
that,
but
I
also,
you
know,
there's
a
possibility
that
that
that
that
mr.
ruff
has
already
maybe
made
some
contact
there.
So
just
wanted
to
ask
that
question
and
see
what
needs
to
be
done
or
not.
On
that
front,.
I
You,
madam
president,
this
music
and
I'm,
just
hoping,
maybe
you
can
define
incident
command
for
the
public
I'm,
not
sure
everybody
understands
what
that
means.
I
know,
you
said:
we've
been
in
that
mode
for
a
couple
of
weeks,
and
so
hopefully
we
can
get
some
clarity
about
what
that
means,
and
you
know
mr.
ruff
talked
about
you
know:
New,
Rochelle
and
Seattle
and
nationally.
I
This
is
a
global
epidemic,
so
I'm
hoping
we
are
just
looking
beyond
just
what's
happening
in
the
United
States
and
and
seemingly
our
response
here
has
been
rather
slow
and
so
I'm,
hoping
that
we
are
taking
into
account
what's
going
on
in
other
parts
of
the
world
to
inform
our
decision-making
as
well.
Thank.
J
You,
madam
president,
my
question
to
the
Commissioner:
is
it
would
ragazze
to
test
him
and
the
fact
that
this
is
a
big
challenge
for
us
and
there's
been
a
lot
of
mistakes
made.
That
aside,
you
know,
Minnesota
is
well
known
to
have
a
lot
of
fine
institutions.
Mayo
Clinic
is
here.
We
have
a
lot
of
medical
labs
here.
J
K
Thank
You
president
bender,
if
there's
not
an
answer
to
this
right
now:
that's
okay,
but
I,
one
of
the
things
that
I
love
about
our
community
when
we're
in
a
disaster
response
or
in
a
situational
response
is
its
generosity,
and
our
community
partners
often
play
important
roles
and
often
fill
some
of
the
gaps
that
we've
to
fill
in
the
city.
So
I'm
wondering
if
we've
identified
a
philanthropic
partner,
I
have
constituents
contacting
me
asking:
where
can
I
send
money,
anticipating
that
there
will
be
needs
for
people
who
are,
for
example,
food,
insecure
and
self-quarantine?
K
L
L
L
We
would
hear
an
update
on
what
we're
doing
as
a
city
to
make
sure
that
low-income
residents
and
communities
of
color
have
free
internet
access
that
is
adequate
and
reliable
right
now,
if
you
pull
up
the
map
on
the
city
of
Minneapolis
that
provides
free
Wi-Fi
locations,
they
are
only
in
public
park
places
where
we
probably
don't
want
to
send
people
to.
So
we
have.
We
have
to
resolve
that
matter.
I
had
a
conversation
with
Minneapolis
Public
Schools,
and
they
are
feeling
confident
that
they
can
probably
address
some
of
the
food
and
security
issues.
L
L
We
have
a
lot
of
people
in
the
gig
economy
in
the
cultural
economy
that
are
going
to
be
suffering
economically
over
the
next
couple
of
weeks
because
of
the
proactive
approach
to
prevent
the
further
spread
of
the
virus,
because
precisely
we
do
not
have
the
testing
to
actually
know
who
has
it
so
I
think
that
our
frame
of
mind
should
really
be
about
planning
for
preventing
the
further
spread,
instead
of
waiting
for
it
to
pop
up
and
then
try
to
mitigate
it,
then.
So
on
that
front,
I
really
want
to
encourage
us
to
figure
out.
L
How
are
we
providing
subsidies
for
workers
who
don't
have
access
to
paid
sick
leave?
How
are
we
providing
access
to
free
internet?
How
are
we
providing
other
supplemental
support
for
employees
who
are
not
going
to
be
able
to
have
that
economic
buoyancy
to
get
them
through
two
three,
four:
five:
six
weeks
of
school
closures
of
events
being
canceled
of
projects
being
delayed
or
not
happening
at
all,
so
I
was
hoping
that
we
would
actually
be
having
a
harder
conversation
about
the
the
city.
L
Subsidies
that
we're
gonna
have
to
approve
to
make
sure
that
our
local
economy
doesn't
crumble
under
a
potential
massive
closure
of
whether
it's
workplaces,
schools,
obviously
the
University
of
Minnesota,
already
closed,
and
so
once
once
our
schools
do
closed.
We're
gonna
have
a
lot
of
families
and
unsupervised.
Youth
that
are
gonna
need.
Those
reliable
adults
around
that
are
gonna
need
that
extra
money
for
food
and
shelter,
as
well
as
health
care
and
childcare.
A
Great,
thank
you.
Are
there
any
other
questions
for
council
members?
I
know
we
do
want
to
let
director
Musa
can't
get
to
the
meeting
that's
happening,
but
I'm.
This
is
really
important.
So
are
there
any
other
questions?
I
don't
see
any
I
will
say.
Almost
everything
I
heard
mentioned
is
something
that
was
addressed
in
our
leadership
meeting
yesterday
and
I
know
is
underway.
I
think,
since
we
have
Christian
music
ant
here,
particularly
focusing
on
the
health
related
questions
makes
sense.
I
will
just
mention
that
mr.
ruff
I
believe
is
probably
discussing
right
now.
A
At
this
meeting,
the
cities
travel
policies
relating
to
travel
for
employee.
We
have
talked
to
many
partners
related
the
issues
around
evictions.
I,
don't
know
that
anyone
has
called
the
Sheriff's
Department,
but
we
should
follow
up
after
this
meeting.
I
know
that
there
are
many
many
conversations
happening
with
our
legislative
delegation,
particularly
representative
Gomez,
showing
enormous
leadership
folks
at
the
county,
our
staff
and
many
departments
talking
about
things
like
food
access,
communications,
creating
an
economic
safety
net
for
families.
I
think
some
of
them
ideas
mentioned
here
from
our
colleagues-
are
really
amazing
and
I.
A
We
did
hear
during
this
meeting
from
our
director
of
Public
Works
that
they
have
exercised
their
authority
under
a
statute
that
I
don't
have
right
in
front
of
me
to
shut
off,
to
suspend
all
water
shutoffs
for
30
days.
They
have
that
authority
and
because
again,
because
we
had
discussed
and
taking
that
action
and
council,
they
felt
clear
on
our
position
so
that
that
decision
has
been
made
this
morning.
A
This
is
just
such
a
very
sliver
of
the
things
that
are
happening,
but
a
really
important
discussion
and
I
just
want
to
highlight
I
just
appreciate
so
much
the
City
Council
and
all
of
your
thoughtfulness
and
commitment
to
our
our
community,
and
it
shows
here
today
and
every
day.
So,
commissioner,
music
ant,
there
are
a
few
things,
I
think
specific
at
health,
one
is
incident
command,
I
made
a
medical
institution.
It's
perfect
thank.
F
You
thank
you,
madam
chair
I,
wanted
to
pair
a
couple
that
might
be
unexpected
together,
the
hoarding
and
the
generosity.
So
this
is
a
time
of
uncertainty.
It's
a
changing
dynamic!
Everyone
would
prefer
to
have
concrete
black
and
white.
Do
this?
Don't
do
that
everything's
done
we're
taken
care
of,
and
that's
real
the
way
this
is
gonna
play
out.
F
Having
said
that,
we
all
want
to
do
something
with
our
anxiety,
and
so
some
people
are
shopping.
Those
who
have
the
wherewithal
are
shopping
and
they're,
not
leaving
anything
for
the
people
who
maybe
just
want
to
be
able
or
can
only
buy
one
at
a
time
and
so
I
think
we
need
to
appeal
to
people's
sense
of
community.
F
We
will
be
most
likely
using
social,
distancing
and
strategies
that
further
isolate
people,
and
so
something
that
that
folks
can
do
is
to
care
for
those
in
your
sphere.
Reach
out
call
them
find
out.
If
they've
got
enough
cans
of
soup.
Can
you
drop
some
off
I
think
there
are
individual
efforts
that
we
as
a
community
can
call
upon
and
follow
through
on?
F
That
will
be
helpful
to
others
and
will
also
help
us
feel
like
we
are
part
of
doing
something
now
missing
today
is
councilmember
Cunningham
he's
not
here
because
he's
sick,
that's
doing
something
too.
That's
a
very
important
part
of
doing
something,
and
sometimes
we
feel
like
I
should
just
you
know,
Schultz
soldier
on
you
know
they
need
me.
I
need
to
be
there,
but
really
the
biggest
job
you
can
do
is
to
not
show
up
when
you
are
sick.
So
I'd
like
the
idea
of
a
philanthropic
partner,
I'll,
look
into
that.
F
Yes,
unfortunately,
we
are
in
a
position
where
we
haven't
had
enough
tests.
I
think
the
state
is
doing
a
good
job
with
the
resources
we
have
in
deciding
how
to
use
the
tests.
Hopefully,
we
will
find
that
that
is
not
covering
up
something
we
don't
know.
Nonetheless,
there
is
more
testing
already
happening.
The
private
sector
is
doing
more
testing
I
just
saw
in
the
paper
today.
Mayo
researchers
are
going
to
come
up
with.
F
F
What
we
are
doing
here
in
Minnesota
incident
command
is
a
structure
of
a
proceeding
in
times
of
crisis
that
was
created
out
of
forest
fires,
and
it
really
is
a
way
for
there
to
be
a
clear
line
of
who's,
an
authority,
who's,
gonna,
work
on
that
project,
who's
gonna
work
on
that
project.
You
have
an
incident
commander,
you
have
communications
folks,
and
then
you
have
people
who
are
doing
planning
kind
of
thinking
forward.
You
have
people
in
logistics
were
figuring
out
how
to
get
stuff
and
do
stuff.
F
You
have
folks
in
finance
that
are
figuring
out.
What
are
the
financial
ramifications
and
you
have
people
in
operations
who
are
like?
How
are
we
managing
this
thing?
That's
going
on
so
incident
command
allows
any
entity
to
set
that
up
and
then
other
entities
like
the
county
can
figure
out.
What's
the
city
doing
oh,
you
got
incident
command,
I
can
talk
to
your
commander
or
I.
Can
my
logistics
people
kentuc
to
your
logistics
people?
So
that's
really
all
it
is.
F
F
Let's
see
Oh
looking
looking
to
others
communicating
in
different
ways,
we
are.
We
have
been
speaking
to
groups
we're
trying
to
reach
out
to
cultural
communities,
thinking
about
ways
to
reach
them
outside
of
of
the
main
press,
we're
certainly
working
with
the
culturally
specific
media,
but
also
connecting
with
people
in
a
more
one-on-one
and
then
also
looking
outside
of
the
country.
F
I
was
at
a
meeting
yesterday,
where
someone
mentioned
that
working
in
the
way
that
they're
communicating
about
things
in
New
Zealand
was
particularly
appealing
because
I
think
here
in
the
United
States
we've
focused
mostly
on
information
that
fits
in
our
head
and
and
that's
really
important,
you
know,
what's
the
science,
what
are
we
supposed
to
do?
What
are
we
not
supposed
to
do
but
hoarding,
and
some
of
these
other
issues
are
coming
from
the
from
the
heart
from
the
anxiety
from
the
uncertainty
and
so
in
New
Zealand.
F
A
A
Maybe,
echoing
the
commissioners
reports,
remarks
that
we
are
preparing
with
facts
and
with
health
data
and
preparing
those
you
know
for
informing
people,
but
also
we
are
leading
with
compassion
and
making
sure
that
folks
who
need
our
support
that
need
a
safety
net
that
need
services
even
more
now
than
ever
before,
will
we're
working
together
all
of
us
in
our
community
to
provide
those
and
I
think
it's
really
important.
So
thank
you
for
all
of
that
house.
So
member
Johnson
thank.
G
You,
madam
president,
I
just
wanted
to
mention
a
quick
update
on
one
issue.
I
really
appreciate
councilmember
Cano,
praying
for
this
idea
around
the
internet
and
was
able
to
connect
up
with
us
Internet,
and
they
are
working
to
make
Wi-Fi
freely
available
to
all
residents
across
the
city,
and
it
sounds
like
that
will
be
going
live
at
some
point
early
next
week.
G
L
Curious
about
sort
of
that
the
the
cadence
of
this
work
like
are
we
expecting
to
receive
updates
once
a
day?
Is
there
a
weekly
meeting
that
all
the
councilmembers
can
go
to
to
get
updates
on?
What's
happening,
I,
don't
have
a
sense
of
how
sort
of
coherent
or
or
sustain
this
effort
is
and
I.
You
know,
I,
like
timelines
I
like
predictability.
L
A
For
the
question,
councilmember
and
I
think
I
imagine
that's
part
of
the
discussion
right
now
with
department
heads
we
have
been
seeing.
You
know
frequent
communication
more
than
once
a
day
communication
coming
from
different
departments
about
specific
issues,
for
example
the
cleaning
issue,
or
some
of
these
other
particular
policy
areas.
I.
Think
it's
prudent
to
ask
mr.
rough
and
kosher
music
ant
and
Barrett
Lane
who's,
our
director
of
emergency
services.
A
You
know
I,
think,
communicate
to
us
how
they
will
be
communicating
to
policymakers.
Of
course,
as
today
was
any
communication
to
all
council
is
subject
to
the
Open
Meeting
Law,
and
so
if
we
were
to
have
a
conference
call
or
any
sort
of
communication
beyond
email
that
would
be
publicly
noticed
and
publicly
accessible
per
rules.
You
know
so
I
think
there.
For
now
a
lot
of
the
communication
has
happened
via
email.
Of
course.
The
two
committee
meetings
that
are
coming
up
next
week
and
and
I
imagine
likely
other
community
excuse
me.
A
Committee
meetings
regarding
specific
issues
around
housing
or
other
items
will
come
forward
through
our
committees,
so
I
think
you
were
looking
for
something
a
little
more
specific
and
detailed,
and
so
I
think
we
can
ask
for
that
later
today.
The
next
thing
that
will
happen
is
1:00
p.m.
the
state
is
having
a
press
conference
with
their
updated
guidelines
and
then
there'll
be
a
press
conference
at
2:00
p.m.
with
the
mayor.
With
some
of
the
more
details
about
the
city's
preparations.
