B
Good
afternoon
everyone
and
welcome
to
the
regularly
scheduled

of
the

10
2020..
My

philippe
cunningham
and
I
am
the

of
this

As
we
begin,
I
will
note
for

that
this

has
promoted
participation
by
members
of
the
city,
council
and
city
staff
as
authorized
under
minnesota
statute,
section
13d.021
due
to
the
declared
local
public
health
emergency.
At
this
time,
I
will
ask
the
clerk
to
call
the
role,
so
we
can
verify
a
quorum
for
this
meeting.
D
B
B
Present
your
five
members
present
let
the
record
reflect
that
we
have
a
quorum.
Colleagues,
we
have
eight
items
on
the
consent
agenda.
For
today
I
will
go
ahead
and
read
through
them
and
see
if
there
is
any
discussion
before
we
take
any
action
on
them.
So
for
item
number
one,
it
is
accepting
a
grant
from
the
minnesota
department
of
health
in
the
amount
of
fifty
two
thousand
seven
hundred
sixty
eight
dollars
for
enhancing
influenza
vaccine
vaccination
coverage
as
a
part
of
covid19
response.
Work.
B
Item
number
two
is
accepting
a
grant
from
the
minnesota
department
of
health
in
the
amount
of
two
million
nine
hundred.
Sixteen
thousand
six
hundred
seventy
dollars
to
work
in
partnership
with
the
minneapolis
department
of
health
to
address
the
areas
of
public
health
responsibility
and
essential
public
health
services.
B
B
Item
number
five
is
approving
council
and
mayoral
appointments
to
the
minneapolis
workplace
advisory
committee.
Item
number:
six
is
accepting
a
sexual
assault
kit
initiative
grant
from
the
u.s
department
of
justice
in

to
determine
the
dna
analysis
of
backlogged
sexual
assault,
evidence
kits
support
victim

and

As
indicated
by
the
new

B
Item
number
seven
is
passage
of
a
resolution.
Amending
a
excuse
me
that
is
entitled
committing
to
donate
two
fire
trucks
to
the
minneapolis,
to
minneapolis's
sister
city
of
cuano
vaca
mexico,
which
passed
on
november
8th
2019
by
removing
the
reference
to
the
year
when
the
equipment
will
be
donated.
This
is
a
result
of
coven
and
other
challenges
that
prevented
this.
From
happening.
B
Item
number.
Eight,
the
last
item
on
the
consent
agenda
is
approving

poisoning
and
asthma
can
be
spent
by
enlarging
from
the
neighborhoods
of
hawthorne,
mckinley,
bottineau
and
sheridan
to
all
of
the
north
and
northeast
neighborhoods,
which
will
allow
for
efficiency
of
advertising
and
service
delivery
to
a
wider
geographic
area.
That
is
consistent
with
the
terms
of
the
settlement
decree.
D
B
B
That
carries
and
the
consent
agenda
is
approved.
Now
we'll
move
on
to
our
discussion
items.
We
have
three
of
them
today.
The
first
two
will
be
presented
by
andrew
hawkins
of
the
civil
rights
department,
and
then
we
will
move
into
our
monthly
regular
update
related
to
covet
19
that
will
be
given
by
our
commissioner
of
public
health.
So
the
first
item
is
approving
council
and
mayoral
appointments
to
the
police
conduct
review
panel
of
to
the
police
conduct
review
panel.
B
I
have
asked
civil
rights
staff
to
give
us
an
overview
about
what
this
work
is
and
the
appointment
process
and
to
speak
a
little
bit
to
each
of
the
appointees
that
are
being
recommended.
B
A
Sure
cunningham,
thank
you.
I'm
happy
to
be
here
today
to
speak
to
some
of
these
items
and
answer
any
questions
that
the
group
might
have
so
to
start
off.
I
guess
we'll
go
to
the
police
connect
review
panel.
The
function
the
police
account
review
panel
plays
in
the
police
oversight
process.
It's
a
it's
a
joint
panel,
it's
it's
two
sworn
officers
and
it's
two
civilians,
an
actual
pcrp
itself.
A
It's
not
it's,
not
a
standard
committee.
Where
it's
going
to
meet
regularly.
You
know
they're
scheduled
meetings,
it's
considered
a
pool
of
candidates
and
so
for
these
review
sessions.
What's
actually
done
is
that
there's
a
pool
of
sworn
members
and
then
there's
a
pool
of
civilian
members.
Two
members
from
each
group
are
selected
to
participate
in
the
review
panels
and
so
the
review
panels
themselves
kind
of
so
you
understand
where
they
fit
in
this
process.
A
When
a
complaint's
received
all
the
complaints,
any
complaint
against
mpd
is
taken
in
by
a
civilian
intake
investigator
with
the
office
of
police
conduct
review.
The
kind
of
the
job
of
that
person
is
basically
to
start
to
kind
of
you
know.
I
just
build
out
some
of
the
facts
of
that
case.
Sort
of
figure
out
confirm
locations
confirm
officers.
We
also
have
a
worn
body,
camera
analyst,
who
will
kind
of
go
through
any
body
camera.
That's
related
to
you
know
this
incident
just
to
verify.
You
know
again
locations.
A
This
can
basically
sets
up
kind
of
the
initial
investigative
case
that
goes
to
the
joint
supervisors
for
review
and
that's
the
director
of
money,
jafar
office
of
police,
contraview
and
then
commander
wheeler
with
mpd
during
those
sessions
they'll
review
all
of
the
you
know,
cases
that
are
brought
before
them
and
kind
of
make
decisions
if
some
things
are
sent
out
for
coaching
other
things
are
referred
on
for
further
investigation
and
potential
discipline
once
those
are
investigated
by
either
sworn
or
civilian
case
investigators
within
either
internal
affairs
of
mpd
or
the
office
of
police
contraview.
A
That's
where
the
review
panel
comes
in
every
case.
Once
it's
completed,
we'll
go
to
the
review
panels
so
that
this
group
will
be
you
know,
called
the
order.
Sit
down
with
you
know,
oscillative
cases
to
review
they'll
review
all
the
facts
of
the
case,
any
body
camera
that
was
available
for
it
and
then
it's
their
responsibility
to
make
a
decision
of
merit
or
no
merit,
which
is
the
limit
of
civilian
oversight
as
set
forth
by
minnesota
state
statute.
A
Once
a
decision
of
marijuana
merit
is
made.
The
case
is
then
moved
on
to
the
chief
to
the
chief
of
police
for
a
decision
to
be
made.
There
is
a
another
process
that
takes
place
within
the
police
department.
It's
called
there's
a
louder
mill
hearing
where
they,
I
think
the
officer
has
a
chance
to
respond.
Obviously,
I'm
probably
going
more
into
detail
than
this
actual
panel,
but
I
feel
like
it's
a
worthwhile
worthwhile
conversation
anyways,
but
so
yeah.
So
the
automotive
hearing
will
happen.
A
They'll
review
the
decisions
that
were
made
by
the
panel.
It
will
then
go
to
the
chief's
desk
and
he
will
make
a
final
decision
on
discipline
so
again.
Hopefully
that
kind
of
helps
understand
where
they,
where
this
group
fits
in
the
process
so
now
to
speak,
to
the
actual
applicants
that
we
had
this
year.
We
have
three
people
that
were
moving
forward.
A
One
of
them
actually
was
invited
to
be
here
today,
but
can't
because
she's
actually
in
a
panel
right
now-
and
so
I
can
just
start
with
her,
so
that's
knock
win
she's,
an
attorney
with
human
services
she's
been
with
on
the
panel,
for
I
think
quite
a
while
as
well.
We
were
very
fortunate
that
she
was
interested
in
coming
back,
since
it's
always
nice,
when
you
have
those
people
that
have
that
experience
of
you
know
how
the
process
works
and
have
that
understanding,
and
you
can
keep
them.
A
You
know
convince
them
to
come
back.
You
know
to
keep
serving
the
serving
the
city
in
this
capacity.
Our
second
person
we're
putting
forward
is
jim
jacobson
jim's,
currently
he's
an
attorney
for
medica.
He
has
a
very
extensive
public
service
experience.
I
believe
in
a
number
of
people
that
were
on
our
interview
panel
were
familiar
with
him.
Just
through
various.
You
know,
community
engagement
opportunities,
so
we
were
happy
to
have
you
know
anytime.
We
can
get
people
that
have
that.
A
You
know
that
good
experience
and
that
analytical
and
investigative
kind
of
background
they
add
a
lot
of
value
to
the
panel
and
then
our
final
person
that
is
being
put
forward
is
diane,
mo
diane,
actually
recently
retired
from
the
minneapolis
park
board.
But
she
has,
you,
know,
kind
of
spent
her
career
working.
You
know
in
the
community
and
with
you
know,
members
of
the
community.
A
You
know
the
solving
problems,
the
dealing
with
citizen
complaints-
these
are
all
things
that
I
you
know
generally
are
looked
for
and
like
highly
valued
with
candidates
for
the
pcrp,
because
you
know
they're
going
to
need
to
apply
that
kind
of
objectivity
and
problem-solving
skills.
You
know
every
time
they
sit
down
to
review
a
case,
so
I
believe
that
I've
covered
those
three
and
the
purpose.
If
there's
any
other
questions
on
that
are
specific
to
the
pcrp,
I'm
more
than
happy
to
stand
to
answer
those
now.
A
B
You
so
I
I
appreciate
the
detail
I
and
how
it
fits
into
the
broader
picture.
I
think
that
for
a
lot
in
the
public
folks,
don't
fully
understand
what
does
the
oversight
and
accountability
look
like
in
the
context
of
the
opcr
and
the
various
bodies
that
are
related
to
it?
So
thank
you
for
doing
that.
Can
you
explain
you
briefly?
I
think
spoke
to
this,
but
can
you
explain
a
little
bit
more
about
how
this
fits
in
alongside
the
internal
affairs
investigation.
A
Sure
so
opc
are
into
the
the
structure
that
exists
right
now
for
the
office
of
police
congress
review
when
a
complaint's
made
to
the
city
of
minneapolis
residents
have
the
opportunity
to
identify
if
they
want
a
sworn
officer
or
if
they
want
a
civilian
or
investigator
to
do
the
investigation
of
the
case
or
they
can
select
no
preference.
A
And
so
then,
when
those
cases
are
routed,
if
you
select
no
preference
it'll
just
be
routed
to
whoever
you
know.
Haggis
has.
F
A
Most
capacity,
so
if
it's,
if
it's
ia
it'll,
go
to
ia,
if
it's
our
staff
becomes
our
staff
and
then,
as
far
as
the
joint
supervisors
go
yep,
it's
there's
a
it's
just.
The
commander
of
internal
affairs
is
basically
sits
alongside
the
the
office
of
police
conduct,
reviews
director
to
review
these
cases,
and
I
mean
I
think,
they'll
bring
that
you
know
like
their
perspective
from
law
enforcement.
You
know
like
to
that
conversation
and
their
experience
with
you
know
that
and
director
jafar
will
bring.
A
You
know,
like
her
background
and
extensive
experience
from
the
civilian
side
as
well
and
so
they're
able
to
discuss.
You
know
like
where
they
think
this
case
should
go.
If
there's
any
disagreement,
you
know
the
opportunity.
Is
there
to
elevate
the
issue
to
the
director
of
civil
rights
for
additional
discussion,
but
I
mean
at
least
as
has
been
my
experience,
unfortunately
they're
able
to
come
to
a
agreement
and
be
able
to
move
things.
You
know
forward
expeditiously
in
terms
of
the
ia
involvement
with
the
review
panel.
A
It's
not
specific
to
ia,
there's
just
a
pool
of
candidates.
That's
brought
forward
by
the
police
department.
I
believe
they've
actually
made
the
change
recently
that
they're
all.
I
don't
want
to
get
this
wrong,
but
I
can't
remember
if
it's
commanders,
but
it's
a
it's-
a
higher
rank,
so
they're
bringing
in
people
that
have
a
little
more
seniority
and
a
little
more
experience.
You
know
which
is
beneficial
to
this
process.
Since
you
know
those,
it's
helpful
to
you
know,
bring
that
perspective
to
those
discussions.
A
So
the
two
there's
two
sworn
officers,
two
civilians
they'll
go
through
every
case
together.
You
know,
if
there's
any
questions,
you
know
they
have
the
ability
to
talk
to
the
investigator
of
that
case,
to
clarify
anything
or
add
context
that
might
be
necessary
and
then
they
move
the
case
on.
So
I'm
not
sure
if
that,
hopefully,
that
covered
some
of
your
question.
If
I
didn't
I'm
happy
to
try
again.
B
No,
that
was
great.
Thank
you.
The
purpose
of
this
is
to
be
able
to
help.
Have
us
have
a
little
bit
more
clarity,
so
folks
can
connect
the
dots
around
the
city's
police
oversight
mechanisms
and
in
processes.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
that
item
there
are
there
any
questions
or
comments
from
my
colleagues
related
to
the
police
conduct
review
panel
council
member
gordon.
D
A
Councilmember
gordon,
my
understanding
of
the
piece,
the
pcrp
and
the
way
that
it
proceeds
is
they'll
use
everything
that
was
taken
by
the
investigator
during
that
and
that
should
almost
always
have
you
know
witness
statements,
and
you
know
anything
that
was,
I
guess,
contributed
to
the
case
file
itself.
So
they'll
have
that
available
to
review,
and
then
they
can
consult
with
investigator
of
the
case
as
necessary.
D
If
somebody
requested
to
have
a
a
review
panel,
that
was
only
civilians,
and
I
realize
our
police
are
also
civilians,
but
I
think
you
understand
what
I'm
saying
not
licensed
police
officers
on
the
review
panel.
Would
they
have
that
opportunity.
A
D
We
happen
to
know
what
the
results
are
of.
The
decisions
are
many
of
them
two
versus
two,
where
there's
disagreements
on
the
panel
or
is
that
recorded
anywhere.
A
I
believe
we
have
a
record
of
the
way
that
and
so
there's
a
form
that
they're
asked
to
fill
out.
Usually
you
know
before
a
meeting
begins,
they'll
elect
you
know
a
chair
to
preside
over
that
session.
I
believe
they
alternate
so
for
once.
You
know
the
for
one
session,
it'll
be
a
civilian
for
the
next
one,
it'll
be
a
sworn,
but
there's
a
form
that
they
complete.
That
does
record.
A
You
know
everybody's
disposition
at
the
end
of
the
investigation,
in
terms
of
if
there's
splits
or
not,
I
actually
at
least
recently.
I
believe
that
they
have
not
had
any
issues
with.
You
know
severe
disagreements
that
stopped
it
from
moving
forward.
They
could
generally,
I
think,
come
to
the
same
conclusion,
but
but
it
is
something
that
does
happen
where
we
have
us,
but
you
know
there
could
be
a
split
decision.
A
I
believe
that
the
outcomes
of
review
panels
is
available
on
our
website.
I
don't
know
that
it's
necessarily
specific
to
the
cases,
but
just
to
see
if
there
were
splits
or
you
know,
notice
if
things
were
remanded
back
or
if
it
was
sent
forward
with
merit
or
no
merit.
I
do
believe
that's
that
that's
absolutely
information
that
I
can
look
into
and
provide
to
you
after
this
meeting.
D
Can
the
police
conduct
oversight
commission
review
the
findings
of
all
the
investigations
of
the
review
panels.
A
Nope,
I
do
not
believe
that's
possible
the
so
the
pcrp
the
way
that
it's
set
up
right
now,
the
way
that
this
process
works,
just
just
in
that's,
based
on
the
guidelines
of
the
minnesota
state,
medical
statute,
626
89,
it's
the
peace
officer,
discipline
process,
as
well
as
the
minnesota
data
practices
act,
which
is
13.43,
comes
into
play
as
well.
It's
considered
an
administrative
enforcement
process,
it's
similar
to
an
hr
investigation
so
because
of
that
there's
certain
data
privacy
and
like
data
restrictions.
As
far
as
what's
made
publicly
available.
B
Thank
you
councilmember,
gordon.
Next
up
we
have
councilmember
fletcher.
G
Thank
you,
chuck
cunningham,
we've
gotten
some
detailed
questions
about
appointment
processes
lately,
as
we've
been
appointing
people
to
these
commissions.
So
I
wonder
if
we
can
just
describe
in
in
a
little
bit
of
detail,
I
want
to
be
very,
very
clear
that
I
think
we've
got
terrific
appointments
here
and
I
appreciate
the
service
that.
G
All
three
of
them
are
are
offering
to
our
city,
so
I'm
not
criticizing
the
outcome
in
any
way.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
an
explicit
discussion
about
how
people
were
appointed
or
how
did
they
apply,
who
reviewed
those
applications
and
and
just
a
little
just
create
a
little
bit
of
transparency.
G
To
answer
some
questions
in
advance
that
I
imagine
might
be
coming
based
on
the
last
couple
of
appointment
processes
and
some
of
the
questions
we've
received,
you
can
just
describe
how
we
how
we
got
to
the
outcome
that
we're
approving
here
today
and
what
qualifications
maybe
are
required
for
the
position.
A
Absolutely
vice
versa.
I'm
happy
to
speak
to
that
at
this
point.
So
much
like
everything
else
in
2020
there's
been
some
unique
challenges
to
you
know
this
working
and
having
a
lot
of
staff
remotes-
and
you
know,
we've
had
some
hiring
freezes
that
have
impacted
our
capacity
in
various
divisions
within
civil
rights.
So
for
this
process
we
actually
kind
of
presented
an
opportunity
to
do
things
a
little
bit
differently
than
we
have
in
the
past,
and
one
of
the
you
know
what
we
elected
to
do.
A
We
have
the
civil
rights
equity
division,
that's
responsible
for
overseeing
our
urban
scholars
program.
I
believe
all
of
you
are
familiar
with
the
urban
scholars
program,
but
a
major
part
of
that
is,
you
know,
receiving
you
know
taking
recruitment,
but
also
bringing
in
you
know
a
lot
of
a
very
diverse
range
of
candidates
that
they
have
to
do
with
those
extensive
interview
processes.
So
this
is
a
group
that
was
in
a
very
good
position.
You
know,
fortunately,
for
us
to
step
into
this
and
kind
of
help.
A
Us
you
know
maybe
rethink
the
way
that
we've
done
this
in
the
past,
so
I
haven't
been
involved.
You
know,
prior
to
this
cycle,
I
mean
I've
kind
of
assisted
with
you
know
things
as
needed,
or
you
know
sent
in
on
interviews
if
they
needed
people,
but
I
haven't
been
this
directly
involved
before
so
it
was
very
interesting
to
kind
of
get
to
see.
A
You
know
this
process
take
shape,
and
so
one
of
the
first
things
that
you
know
the
civil
rights
equity
division
did
was
sort
of
establish
the
principles
for
what
this
process
would
look
like
how
we
screen
applicants.
You
know
what
do
we
value?
I
know
what
are
we
looking
for
in
candidates
and
so
director
jafar,
provided
you
know
a
little
bit
of
insight
into
kind
of
you
know
what
they've
done
in
the
past.
A
What
you
know
like
qualifications
have
been
very
helpful
in
certain
roles
and
I
think
they
kind
of
took
that
ran
with
it
and
then,
where
they
landed,
was
you
know
the
print?
The
kind
of
the
pillar
principles
to
this
process
have
been
racial,
looking
to
the
focus
of
racial
equity,
geographic
diversity,
diversity
of
perspective
and
then
also
the
fit
to
the
purpose.
A
So
you
know
it's
if
you're
going
to
be
a
member
of
the
pcrp
like
it
would
be
good
that
somebody,
you
know,
has
that
kind
of
objectivity,
and
you
know
belief
in
wanting
to
better
this
process-
and
you
know
become
involved
and
be
objective.
You
know
that
would
obviously
be
necessary
and
a
good
candidate
so
specific
to
the
pcrp.
You
know
that
was
you
know.
Like
you
know,
this,
a
similar
focus
was
used
for
the
pcoc.
With
those
same,
you
know
those
same
guiding
principles.
A
One
of
the
first
things
we
kind
of
identified
was
that
there's
been
a
lack
of
representation
on
the
pcoc.
There's
been
some
words
that
haven't
been
represented,
and
you
know
to
my
knowledge,
maybe
ever
or
you
know
for
quite
some
time
which
you
know
doesn't
especially
given
our
current.
You
know,
landscape
and
environment
doesn't
seem
acceptable,
so
that
was
something
that
we
wanted
to
remedy,
so
those
principles
also
were
put
in
place
for
that
process.
A
Again:
racial
equity,
geographic
diversity,
diversity
of
perspective
and
the
like
fit
fit
and
purpose.
You
know
I
know,
there's
a
wide
range
of
views
on
on
policing
and
police
oversight,
but
you
know
you
still
have
to
have
that
kind
of
degree
of
objectivity
or
willingness
to
kind
of
work
within
the
process
to
make
things
better
in
order
to
you
know,
be
a
good
fit,
so
we
we
did
have.
I
believe
we
had
over
40
applicants,
there's
no
chance.
We've
had
that
many
before
craig
did
a
wonderful
job
of
doing
outreach.
A
I
know
a
number
of
the
council
members
as
well
have
done
outreach
within
their
awards.
This
is
the
most
representative
group.
I
think
we've
ever
brought
forward
of
that
form
of
the
40
or
42
candidates
that
we
had.
I
believe
we
conducted
interviews
for
at
least
20.,
and
so
you
know
those
20.
We
brought
forward
four
proposed
pcoc
members
in
a
previous
council
session
and
we're
bringing
it
forward
three
today
there
weren't
any
pcrp
candidates
in
the
prior
cycle,
but
we'll
have
we
have
the
three
before
you
today.
A
Absolutely
I'm
happy
to
so
and
yeah.
I
kind
of
forget
that
people
aren't
always
in
my
head
so
if
it
doesn't
make
sense,
feel
free
to
interject
and
stop
me
and
I'll,
make
myself
as
clear
as
possible.
So
when
we
set
up
when
we,
as
in
the
civil
rights
department
and
civil
rights
staff,
set
up
these
interviews.
A
For
engagement
and
involvement
from
mayoral
and
council
staff,
you
know,
I
think
that
we
haven't
necessarily
had
in
the
past.
You
know
anything
like
the
you
know
the
meeting
invite
would
be
sent
out,
but
it's
a
lot
bigger
challenge.
You
know
when
we're
on
site
and
you
have
to
be
jumping
from
meeting
to
meeting
so
this
remote
environment
gave
us.
A
This
committee,
as
well
as
you
know,
more
staff
to
them
both
into
the
mayor's
office
and
mayoral
staff,
and
then
we
also
extended
an
invitation
to,
I
think,
all
of
the
remainder
of
the
council
just
in
case
they
wanted
to
send
staff
just
to
participate.
You
know
not
necessarily
be
in
part
of
the
interview,
but
just
to
kind
of
you
know,
listen
in
and
see
what
you
know
see
how
things
are
going
see
if
there's
any.
A
If
there's
any
board,
you
know
that
they
represent
that
had
a
member
being
interviewed.
They
were
definitely
more
than
welcome
to
jump
in
on
that
one
just
to
see
how
that
one
went,
and
so
I
think
that
was
a
very
big
success.
We
definitely
had
more
engagement
from
council
and
mayweal
staff
than
we've
ever
had
in
the
past.
A
We
went
through
the
interview
process
and
at
the
end
of
it
it
was
actually
kind
of
put
to
those
that
were
participating
to
you
know
like
share
their
thoughts
and
opinions
on
those
we
had
interviewed
and
sort
of
see
kind
of.
If
anybody
rose
to
the
top-
and
I
mean
that
led
us
to
how
we
you
know
the
candidates
that
we
brought
forward.
A
Sure
cunningham,
I
will
have
to
go
check
there.
There
may
still
be
one
or
two
seats
available
and
the
I
guess
the
interesting
part
with
the
pcrp
is
the
fact
that,
because
it's
not
you
know
a
standing
body
that
meets
regularly,
you
know
it's
it's
a
pool
of
people
at
our
disposal,
the
more
people
we
have.
You
know
the
more
qualified
candidates
that
we
can
put
forward
that
we
have.
You
know
in
this
decision-making
body.
A
You
know
that
it
provides
a
better
opportunity
to
schedule
the
review
panels
as
necessary
to
get
through
cases
expeditiously.
So
I
think
that
it's
definitely
something
where
we're
always
interested.
So
if
any
of
the
council
members
have,
you
know,
board
members
that
are
interested
in
this
opportunity
and
send
them
our
way.
B
B
So
I
will
then
move
approval
of
the
council
and
mayoral
appointments
to
the
police
conduct
review
panel
and
I'll.
Ask
the
clerk
to
please
call
the
role
on
item
number.
Nine.
D
D
B
That
item
carries
thank
you
again,
mr
hawkins.
So
now
we're
gonna
go
ahead
and
move
on
to
the
next
item.
So
thank
you
for
sticking
around.
The
next
item
is
the
confirming
mayoral
and
council
appointments
to
the
police,
conduct
oversight,
commission
and
so
again,
looking
for
an
overview
of
what
this
body
does
being
able
to
explain
a
little
bit
about
the
candidates
that
you
are
bringing
forward
recommendation
and
then
what
did
the
appointment
process
look
like
so
the
floor
is
yours
again.
A
Sure
cunningham,
thank
you.
I'm
happy
to
speak
to
this
component
as
well
as
as
for
the
process,
I
can
actually
just
start
there
since
I
just
went
through
some
of
this.
We
followed
the
same
process
for
both
of
these
and
kind
of
did
them
as
parallel.
A
You
know,
processes
to
bring
in
candidates
and
do
interviews,
because,
obviously
understanding
that
everybody's
time
is
can
be
a
scarce
thing
lately,
with
everything
that's
been
going
on,
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
maximize
our
opportunities
that
we
had
to
pull
in
council
and
mayoral
staff,
so
the
process
itself,
the
civil
rights
equity
division-
did
a
wonderful
job,
putting
together
the
criteria
for
what
they
were
looking
for
in
candidates
and
kind
of
helping
sort
through
everything
and
then
getting
interviews
scheduled.
A
So
it
was
again
very
similar
again
if
there's
more
that
people
want
to
know
about
that
part.
I
can
speak
to
that.
You
know
once
I'm
through
the
rest
of
the
material,
the
police
conduct
oversight.
Commission
is
it's
a
public-facing
body.
It's
a
commission
made
up
entirely
of
civilians.
You
know
one
of
the
primary.
I
think
tools
that
it
has
is
through
research
and
study.
A
Some
of
the
studies
that
has
performed
in
the
past
have
involved
topics
such
as
evictions
and
calls
for
service,
body-worn,
camera
audits
and
recommendations
for
mpd
policy,
as
it
relates
to
body
worn,
camera,
domestic
violence,
response,
mental
health
and
policing,
but
I
mean
all
very
relevant
topics
and
I
think
it's
kind
of
the
closest
thing
we
have
to
you
know
preventative
like
measures
where
you
know
they
can
do
these
research
and
studies,
identify
trends
or
patterns
and
practices
and
then
make
a
recommendation
so
that
you
know
there
could
potentially
be
some
policy
changes
to
avoid.
A
You
know
some
of
the
issues
that
they've
identified
to
be
occurring.
They
also
serve
as
sort
of
you
know,
for
lack
of
a
better
term.
I
mean
it's
a
gathering
place
for
public
opinion
or
you
know,
for
people
to
kind
of
you
know
like
listen
and
get
provide,
comment
and
kind
of
become
involved
in
the
civilian.
You
know
you
know
the
civilian
only
group
that
you
know
on
discussions
of
policing,
which
you
know
again.
I
was
you
know.
F
A
Of
many
people
that
viewed
the
meeting,
you
know
your
extensive
meeting
last
night
and
obviously
there's
a
lot
of
opinions
around
policing
right
now-
and
this
is
just
one
more
opportunity
for
people
to
you-
know
to
basically
make
their
voices
heard-
which
I
think
is
a
very
valuable
tool
to
have
as
to
the
actual
applicants
that
we
have
that
we're
bringing
forward
to
you
the
first
one,
john
sylvester
is
from
word
four
he's
a
paramedic
emt.
This
is
actually
something
that
we
haven't
had.
A
This
is
you
know
he
represents
an
area
that
we
haven't
had
in
the
past,
but
that
is
incredibly
relevant
and
incredibly
valuable.
I
think
to
this
discussion.
That's
you
know
taking
place
right
now,
he'd
express
you
know
he
frequently
and
he's
just
a
part
of
his
job.
He
interacts
with
law
enforcement.
A
You
know
he's
seen
you
know,
like
you
know
some
some,
you
know
interactions
that
are
problematic
or
some
issues
that
he
thinks
need
to
kind
of
be
you
know,
be
raised
and
can
be
corrected
and
can
be
bettered
and
that
are
important
for
us
to
discuss.
You
know
in
a
public
forum
such
as
the
one
that
pcoc
provides,
and
just
you
know
a
big
public
health
and
safety
focus,
which
is
you
know,
definitely
something
of
value.
Our
other
next
candidate
is
jordan.
Cronkite
he's
from
ward
9.
A
and
one
of
the
underlying
things
with
jordan
is,
you
know,
just
he's
very
big
on
wanting
to
serve
his
community
he's
involved
with
big
brothers,
big
sisters
and
mentorship
programs,
and
then
he
also
spoke
to
his
experience
as
a
young
black
male.
In
this
you
know
just
kind
of
growing
up
in
the
city
of
minneapolis,
but
also
that
you
know
the
fact
that
he,
like
he's
just
bought
a
home
in
phillips
he's
you
know,
wants
to
become
part
of
the
community
and
kind
of
work
to
be.
A
You
know
improve
relationships,
and
I
guess
you
know
the
situation
for
residents
as
a
whole,
so
I
think
that
that
was
very
powerful,
for
you
know,
I
think
the
panel
to
for
him
to
share
his
perspective
and
then
our
final
applicant
is
carrie,
mcguire
carrie's,
an
immigration
attorney
and
so
again,
like
bringing
a
very
unique.
You
know
unique
perspective.
A
One
of
the
things
that
carried
out
carrie's
also
from
ward
three,
she
spoke
to
a
desire
of
like
wanting
to
better
systems
for
the
communities
that
she's
involved
with
that
she
sees
on.
A
Obviously,
you
know
there's
she
also
kind
of
made
the
distinction
that
you
know.
While
she
does
work
with
a
lot
of
these
communities
as
part
of
her
job,
she
kind
of
views
this,
as
you
know,
not
an
extension
of
her
work,
but
just
something
that's
become
very
personal
to
her,
where
she's
seen
you
know
some
communities
that
are
impacted
disproportionately,
you
know
in
their
interactions
with
law
enforcement,
and
so
I
think
that
bringing
that
that
kind
of
voice
you
know
for
that
population
will
be
something.
That's
certainly
adds
value
for
this
group.
B
Awesome,
thank
you
I'll
just
say
my
excitement
about
john
sylvester,
who
is
from
ward
4.
I
I'm
he
reached
out
to
me
and
we've
talked
extensively
about.
You
know
whether
or
not
he
felt
like
he.
You
know
he
was
the
right
fit
and,
and
I've
just
been
very
excited
about
having
him
be
on
on
this
body,
so
very
excited.
B
B
All
right,
I'm
not
seeing
any.
Thank
you
for
all
of
the
work
that
you,
your
team
folks
from
across
the
enterprise
who
participated
in
making
these
appointments
happen.
The
work
that
you
all
do
is
really
critical.
So
I
appreciate
all
that
you
have
done
so.
Thank
you
for
that
and
thank
you
for
being
here
to
to
to
be
in
conversation
with
us
with
that
I
will
move
approval
of
the
conduct,
the
police,
conduct
oversight,
commission
appointments
and
we'll
ask
the
clerk
to
please
call
the
role
on
item
number
10.
F
B
That
item
carries
and
that
motion
is
approved
so
for
our
last
item
today
we
will
be
receiving
and
filing
an
update
on
cobit
19,
our
regular
monthly
updates
related
to
this
global
pandemic.
Our
presentation
will
be
present.
The
presentation
will
be
given
today
by
our
commissioner
of
the
health
department
gretchen
music
hand.
So
with
that,
oh
I'm,
so
sorry
I
missed
council
member
paul
masano,
my
sincerest
apologies,
councilmember
paul
did
you
want
to
go
back
to
the
previous
item?
I'm
sorry
about
that.
F
No,
if
I,
if
I
could
just
say
and
no
problem,
I
think
we
might
all
be
tired
today,
I
just
wanted
to
share
that
andrew
hawkins
and
maria
lee
did
such
a
great
job,
organizing
these
remote
interviews
for
all
of
these
positions.
I
made
it
a
priority
to
be
part
of
the
opcr
and
pcoc
interview
process
personally
and
had
one
of
my
staff
in
these
calls
too,
and
other
wards
participated
as
well.
F
It
made
our
choice.
We
had
very
difficult
choices
to
make.
We
had
because
we
had
so
many
great
candidates,
and
so
I
wanted
to
thank
everybody
that
even
applied
so
not
just
the
city
staff
and
and
my
congratulations
to
those
that
have
been,
but
I
think
it
we've
created
a
a
new
start
for
these
committees,
but
also
just
the
the
strength
of
all
of
the
applicants
really
gave
us
a
lot
to
look
forward
to.
So
that's
all.
I
wanted
to
say,
mr
chair,
thank
you.
B
Thank
you,
my
apologies
again
for
for
missing
your
name
in
the
queue
so
moving
on
to
the
coven
19
update.
Commissioner
musicant.
Are
you
on
the
line.
H
All
right
so
I'll
give
you
an
overview
and
just
a
reminder
that
some
of
the
statistics
I'm
going
to
share
with
you
are
how
things
have
changed
in
the
last
month,
and
so
hopefully
that
will
help
us
get
a
sense
of
from
each
report
to
the
next.
H
This
week
happens
to
be
national
flu
vaccine
week,
and
so
we
are
encouraging
people
to
continue
to
think
about,
even
as
we're
leaning
into
the
possibility
of
covet
vaccine
to
think
about
influenza
vaccine
and
to
get
your
flu
shot
now
it
will.
It
will
help
you
through
this
season
and
it
will
also
make
it
easier
to
figure
out
if
you
do
feel
bad
if
it's
likely
to
be
the
flu
or
covet.
So
I
encourage
people
to
do
that
next
slide.
Please.
H
So,
since
last
month,
we
now
have
20
over
25
000,
confirmed
cases
and
that's
a
74
increase
since
last
month.
So
it
shows
you
that
we
are
in
a
different
era
of
this
outbreak
than
we
were
even
a
month
ago,
and
the
cases
that
we've
seen
in
november
have
been
more
than
a
third
of
the
total
cases
we've
seen
since
march.
H
The
increase
in
hospitalization
and
icu
admissions
is
not
as
dramatic
as
the
number
of
cases,
and
we
expect
that
it's
a
little
bit
of
a
lagging
number
so
that
we
see
the
cases
go
up
first
and
then
we
start
to
see
more
hospitalizations
and
more
use
of
the
icu.
H
H
We
do
wonder
and
worry
about
a
slight
increase
occurring
after
thanksgiving
and
maybe
being
the
start
of
yet
another
larger
increase,
and
so
we'll
be
watching
what
you
see
at
the
end
of
that
graphic.
So
the
blue
line
is
minneapolis,
and
so
we
have
a
rate
of
58
per
hundred
thousand
and
the
state
as
a
whole
has
a
rate
of
84
per
hundred
thousand.
H
H
So
it's
it's
quite
a
recent
phenomenon
to
be
up
in
this
red
zone
and
we
are
doing
everything
we
can.
The
governor's
order
and
and
other
measures
to
get
us
back
down
into
the
orange
the
yellow
and
hopefully
the
green.
H
All
right
so
one
of
the
major
tasks
we're
doing
is
case
investigation
and
contact
tracing,
but
because
of
the
sheer
volume
of
cases
we
are
getting
about
300
cases
per
day
in
minneapolis
and
we
are
really
only
able
to
interview
about
60
of
those
just
because
of
the
again
the
sheer
volume.
So
we
have
a
team
that
is
working
and
there
are
54
people
overall
on
our
team,
they
average
80
interviews
per
shift.
They
might
make
as
many
as
100
or
more
calls.
H
We
have
an
average
about
15
of
the
folks
working.
It's
really
a
tough
job,
it
can't
be
done
40
hours
a
week,
and
so
we
we
do
rotate
people
through
in
order
to
meet
that
large
volume
that
we
have
now
because
of
the
number
cases
in
the
community,
we
would
need
40
staff
per
shift
to
keep
up
with
the
current
caseload
and-
and
we
are
not
the
only
ones
that
are
not
keeping
up.
This
is
a
phenomenon
across
the
state.
H
It
just
really
tells
us
how
important
it
is
to
get
that
case
number
back
down
in
the
community,
so
we
can
really
make
use
of
a
tool
like
case
investigation
and
contact
tracing
to
manage
the
the
outbreak.
H
We
have
reassigned
our
food
lodging
and
pool
staff
to
almost
exclusively
be
on
these
teams
and
step
back
from
their
normal
inspections.
They'll
still
be
responding
to
to
complaints
and
helping
businesses
that
want
to
modify
their
businesses
or
open
or
expand,
but
we
we
have
got
all
all
hands
on
deck,
to
try
and
keep
up
here.
H
So
the
next
another
major
piece
of
our
work
is
thinking
about
vaccinations
and
so
we're
learning
more
and
more
and
there's
great
deal
of
hopefulness
about.
What's
coming.
H
But
the
vaccine
itself
is
will
be
paid
for
the
administration
of
the
vaccine
and
the
all
the
bookkeeping
and
paperwork
are
required
to
keep
track
of
people
and
make
sure
that
they're
getting
a
second
dose
from
the
same
maker
as
the
first
dose.
All
of
that
is
not
necessarily
paid
for
by
the
federal
government,
but
there
we
will
be
seeing
mechanisms
so
that
everyone
will
be
able
to
get
vaccine
with
or
without
health
insurance.
H
Although
we'll
be
looking
to
bill
insurance
for
those
who
do
have
it
we're
learning
a
little
bit
more
about
side
effects
and
so
about
over
half
of
the
folks
that
have
received
that
that
first
vaccine
from
pfizer
have
reported
side
effects,
they're,
usually
sort
of
quote
unquote
normal
immune
responses.
So
the
kinds
of
responses
you
might
get
after
getting
a
vaccine
for
for
some
other
disease,
either
flu
shot
or
or
measles
or
any
other
vaccine
there's
also
a
great
deal
of
questioning
going
on
about.
H
So
we
have
submitted
our
plan
to
the
state
this
this
week,
I
believe,
is
still.
The
fourth
was
on
our
last
week
late
last
week
and
our
plan
is
focused
on
responding
to
how
are
we
going
to
get
the
vaccine
out
to
these
priority
groups
and
so
you'll
see
there's
priority
1a
1b
and
1c
the
first
one
1a
being
healthcare
workers
and
long-term
care
residents.
H
So
really,
by
the
time
we
get
through
priority
1c,
we
will
have
been
able
to
reach
a
large
proportion
of
the
overall
population,
we're
going
to
need
a
lot
of
partners
to
get
this
to
happen,
and
so
we
have
been
finalizing
a
contract
with
hennepin
healthcare,
the
minnesota
visiting
nurse
agency
within
hennepin
healthcare
to
administer
the
vaccines
for
us.
We
are
also
working
closely
with
community
clinics
to
make
sure
that
we
can
support
what
they're
doing
and
they
might
also
be
a
partner
with
us.
H
And
then
we
are
in
close
communication
and
coordination
with
hennepin
county
bloomington,
edina
and
richfield,
all
of
whom
have
their
own
health
departments,
so
that
we
can
align
our
our
messaging
so
that
we
can
share
information
about
each
other's
vaccination
opportunities
so
that
we
can
build
on
each
other's
outreach
tactics
and
so
on.
H
Next,
thank
you.
So
one
of
our
focus
areas,
thinking
about
vaccine
is
not
only.
How
are
we
going
to
get
it
out,
but
how
is
it
going
to
be
perceived
and
accepted
by
the
community,
and
so
we
are
sharing
information
as
it's
available
through
community
presentations
working
through
various
established
relationship
channels,
as
well
as
radio
programming,
and
there
is
a
survey
that's
currently
open
through
the
end
of
december,
where
we're
gathering
input
from
people
about
their
their
concerns,
their
thoughts,
their
past
experiences
with
vaccines.
H
So
we
have
a
really
clear
picture
of
of
how
people
in
the
community
are
are
approaching
this
new
vaccine
and
we
have
27
community
members
who
are
trained
as
vaccine
liaisons
and
they
are
reaching
out
to
the
community
and
also
will
be
very
useful
in
helping
us
craft
our
messaging
and
delivering
it
as
well.
H
There
has
been
hasn't,
been
any
testing
yet
for
children
or
for
pregnant
women
and
so
those
being
very
important
groups
and
not
having
vaccine
availability
or
any
research
about
how
the
vaccine
works
in
those
populations,
I
think,
is
a
concern
to
folks.
H
There
is
concern
in
the
community
about
whether
or
not
there
would
be
mandates
either
from
the
government
or
from
employers
or
other
settings,
and
we
do
see
that
there
is
a
disproportionate
number
of
folks
who
have
vaccine
hesitancy
in
bypa
populations.
H
So
we
want
our
message
basically
to
be
that
we
acknowledge
that
the
trauma
and
the
hesitancy
that
people
might
have,
but
also
focus
on
how
the
community
well-being
is
dependent
on
protecting
ourselves
and
others
through
vaccines,
and
we
are
planning
to
work
with
faith,
communities
and
others
to
help
with
establishing
a
connection
between
trusted
messengers
and
the
kind
of
information
that
we're
able
to
tap
into
next
slide.
H
I
have
an
old
version
of
slides
in
front
of
me,
so
the
next
update
is,
we
have
completed
our
use
of
the
cares,
funding
that
we
needed
to
use
by
mid-november,
and
so
the
health
department
has
reported
basically
using
around
eight
million
dollars.
In
cares,
funding
a
little
over
four
and
a
half
million
for
the
personnel
redeployment
of
our
own
staff
and
special
activities
that
we
have
done
above
and
beyond.
H
We
purchased
a
large
number
of
saliva
tests,
2.2
million
and
are
using
those
in
a
variety
of
ways.
I'll
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
those
in
a
in
the
next
slide.
We
purchased
some
personal
protective
equipment
and
and
other
materials,
and
also
expended
a
half
a
million
dollars
on
on
community
food
security.
H
Next,
please
so
now
that
that
funding
has
ended,
we
know
that
the
response
is
ongoing
well
into
next
year,
and
so
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
an
eye
on
resources
that
can
help
us
with
that.
H
The
state
awarded
us
some
funding
back
in
march
and
we
have,
until
the
end
of
february,
to
use
that
funding
and
so
there's
about
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
of
that
remaining.
We
have
received
a
grant
from
dhs
to
address
covet
amongst
the
homeless
population
that
was
36
000.
We
have
basically
expanded
that
there's
a
department
of
of
justice
grant
that
where
we
got
through
this
through
the
mpd,
the
two
of
us
together,
and
so
we
received
about
175
000
from
that
and
we're
able
to
spend
that
into
january
of
2022.
H
So
we'll
be
looking
at
that
as
a
flexible
source
of
funds
for
supporting
personnel,
testing
and
supplies,
and
then
on
the
horizon,
we
expect
to
get
some
funding
from
the
state
for
it's
not
this
horizon,
it's
it's
back
on
the
last
site,
but
that's
okay.
We
expect
to
get
some
funding
from
the
state
to
help
with
vaccine
planning
distribution
and
we
think
that'll
be
about
77
000.
H
That
should
be
coming
very
soon,
and
then
we
expect
an
additional
69
000
from
dhs
to
do
some
additional
work
as
well,
and
so
we'll
be
looking
at
the
timelines
for
those
and,
of
course,
we're
very
hopeful
that
there
will
be
additional
federal
dollars
made
available
now
on
this
horizon.
H
So
we
continue
in
addition
to
doing
contact,
tracing
planning,
vaccines
to
do
testing
events,
and
we
are
trying
to
do
those
in
places
where
we
believe
people
don't
have
easy
access
to
some
of
the
the
other
sponsored
testing
events
we're
doing
those
with
saliva
tests,
and
so
we've
we're
hosting
nine
free
events
in
december,
and
we
are
also
recruiting
enterprise
staff,
so
other
employees
within
the
city
to
help
with
some
of
these
testing
events
and
then
vaccine
events
when
those
come
up
and
so
far
there
have
been
22
people
across
the
enterprise
that
have
volunteered
to
help
us
out
often
on
work
time.
H
So
volunteering
just
means
yes,
I'd
like
to
do
that.
It
doesn't
mean
they
have
to
do
it
without
pay,
and
then
we
continue
to
work
to
refresh
messages,
because
we
all
feel
very
exhausted
can't
believe
how
long
this
has
gone
on.
H
Don't
really
have
you
know
the
curiosity
and
energy
to
listen
to
messages
anymore,
and
so
we
are
working
with
communications
and
always
trying
to
refresh
the
messaging
and
then
also
helping
people
think
about
the
holidays,
the
winter
holidays
coming
up
and
how
people
might
engage
in
those
safely,
mostly
by
staying
home
and
just
being
with
their
immediate
family.
B
Great.
Thank
you,
commissioner.
One
of
the
things
I
really
appreciate
is
the
level
of
detail
that
you
include
in
these
presentations
so
that
we're
able
to
really
get
a
full
understanding,
not
only
as
council
members,
but
also
for
the
public
as
well.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
that.
Are
there
any
questions
or
comments
for
commissioner
music,
yet
councilmember
fletcher.
G
Thank
you
cunningham
and
I'll.
Add
my
thanks
for
this
presentation.
I
know
this
is
on
everybody's
mind
and
I
I
can
never
resist
asking
you
the
crystal
ball
question,
which
I
know
is
something
that
hopefully,
is
getting
less
and
less
difficult
to
answer
as
we
get
closer
on
knowing
vaccine
timelines
and
having
those
vaccine
plans
in
place.
G
You
could
just
provide
a
little
bit
more
about
the
current
thinking
in
our
planning
on
how
long
do
you
think
it
will
be
into
the
distribution
process
for
people
who
don't
see
themselves
on
that
list
of
priority
vaccinations
for
people
who
will
be
waiting
until
the
vaccines
are
more
widely
distributed?
G
How
long
do
you
imagine
that
will
take
and
then,
and
then
how
many
of
us
need
to
get
the
vaccine
before?
We
feel
comfortable,
basically
telling
the
public
it's
okay
to
be
out
again,
and
we
can
really
ease
social,
distancing
restrictions
and
start
going
back
to
back
to
offices
and
public
spaces
and
restaurants
and
all
that
kind
of
stuff.
What
what
percentage
of
vaccination
do
we
need
to
get
to
before
we
can
start
having
that
conversation.
H
Thank
you
for
those
questions:
council,
member,
cunningham
and
and
fletcher
like
the
the
foggy
crystal
ball
question.
H
My
guess
would
be,
maybe
by
march
or
so
on
truth
be
told
in
that
category:
1c
we're
going
to
have
a
whole
bunch
of
us
feeling
like
we
have
access
through
that
category.
Even
though
we're
not
the
general
public.
H
H
Let's
see!
Here's
second
question:
oh
yes,
what
kind
of
coverage
generally,
what
we
believe
is
the
best
for
the
community
would
be
90
immunized,
which
is
challenging
when
we
think
about
how
people
feel
about
the
vaccine
and
and
worry
about
it
and
have
questions.
H
I
think
it's
helpful
that
the
first
the
1a
priority
will
be
healthcare
providers,
because
they
are
perhaps
closest
to
the
notion
of
vaccine
and
also
are
seeing
firsthand
the
risk
of
the
disease,
and
so
we'll
probably
have
very
good
uptake,
and
I
think
they
will
be
helpful
ambassadors
for
us
to
hear
about
how
did
that
vaccine
go.
You
know
how.
How
did
you
feel
any
kind
of
unusual
things
we
might
learn
about
the
vaccine?
So
I
think
that
that
will
help
with
people's
acceptability.
H
If
we
could
bring
the
community
rate
down
back
down
to
yellow
and
you
know
below
the
orange
and
into
the
yellow,
we
could
probably
feel
freer
again
to
do
some
of
the
things
that
we're
constraining
ourselves
with
right
now.
So
the
vaccine
and
its
uptake
is
extremely
important,
but
so
are
these
really
boring
things
that
we've
been
asking
ourselves
to
do?
Wear
masks
social
distance
do
stuff
outside?
Don't
hang
out
with
people
that
you
don't
know?
H
B
You
know
you
know
just
thinking
specifically
about
north
minneapolis
and
and
the
disproportionate
representation
of
black
folks
that
we
have
in
our
community
and
just
the
really
bad
history
and
even
present
around
the
black
community
around
the
world
being
used
essentially
as
experimentation
for
medical
science.
I
mean
the
the
media
covered,
but
I
you
know
the
media
covered
that
european
countries
were
looking
to
test
back
the
vaccinations
or
the
vaccines
in
africa
like
there's
just
like
this,
this
angst
around
that-
and
so
you
know,
I'm
I'm
curious
around
how.
B
How
are
we
going
to
get
like
community
influencers?
You
know
like
the
folks
who
have
that
legitimacy
of
this
is
the
right
thing
to
do.
How
do
we
bring
them
into
it
and
how?
How
do
we
know
that
this
is
safe
enough,
like
I
think
that
that's
another
question
too,
because
it's
like
oh
my
gosh,
they
said
it
was
going
to
take
years
to
develop
this,
and
now
it's
already
here,
so
do
they
skip
over
a
bunch
of
things?
Are
they
using
us
as
guinea
pigs?
H
Yeah,
thank
you,
chuck
cunningham
one.
One
of
our
approaches
has
been
to
not
put
ourselves
in
the
position
of
selling
this
to
the
community
in
part
because
we're
all
still
discovering
things
and
so
to
be
co-discovering
it
with
the
community
so
that
we
can
build
our
plans
around
what
we
discovered
together
and
how
it's
perceived
by
the
community.
And
so
that's
one
of
the
reasons
that
we
have
those
ambassadors
that
are
doing
that
work
talking
to
the
community,
but
also
learning
about
the
vaccine.
As
as
information
comes
out.
H
And
then
we
ask
that
they,
if
they
feel
confident
after
all
of
that
process,
that
they
actually
act
as
ambassadors
as
well
and
help
us
find
additional
ambassadors,
and
I
think
it
will
be.
You
know
we'll
we'll
find
the
early
adopters
and
we
will
talk
with
them
about
sharing
their
experiences
and
I'm
heartened
to
see
that
we
have
a
number
of
past
u.s
presidents
who
have
stepped
forward
and
said
they
will
take
the
vaccine.
They'll.
Take
it
in
public
they'll.
H
Tell
us
about
it,
and
so
I
think
if
we
have
a
variety
of
of
opportunities
like
that
to
connect
with
with
willing
folks
who
are
well
connected
to
the
community,
that
could
help
as
well.
B
B
All
right,
I'm
not
seeing
any
commissioner,
I
know
you
were
juggling
two
meetings
at
once.
So
thank
you
for
making
this
work
today.
These
ongoing
updates
are
really
critical
for
policymakers,
but
also
the
public.
B
So
thank
you
for
continuously
taking
the
time
to
really
dig
in
and
get
us
that
critical
information,
I'm
sad
to
see
that
we've
lost
almost
300
people
now
due
to
this
virus,
but
hopefully
by
increasing
awareness
and
all
of
the
various
strategies
that
you
are,
you
and
your
team
are
looking
to
deploy,
we'll
be
able
to
slow
that
down
and
get
us
down,
hopefully
to
the
green
zone.
B
So
so
thank
you
so
much
for
that,
and
with
that
I
will
direct
the
clerk
to
file
that
report
and
seeing
no
further
business
before
us
and
without
objection.
I
will
declare
this
meeting
adjourned
thanks.
Everyone.
