Description
Minneapolis City Council Meeting
https://lims.minneapolismn.gov/
B
So
just
put
your
last
name
in
the
chat
feature
to
be
recognized
to
speak
when
you're,
not
speaking,
please
be
sure
to
mute
your
microphones
that
will
help
us
avoid
background
noise,
and
we
really
appreciate
everyone's
patience,
both
my
colleagues
and
members
of
the
public
as
we
adapt
to
this
new
way
of
conducting
business
I
know
many
across
the
city
are
doing
the
same.
So
this
time
elapsed,
ask
the
clerk
to
please
call
the
roll,
so
we
can
verify
the
presence
of
a
quorum
for
this
committee.
C
A
B
Is
a
quorum
for
today's
meeting
and
we
may
have
the
other
council
members
joining
in
colleagues
them
agenda
for
today's
meeting
is
before
us.
It's
also
available
for
the
public
online
in
the
limbs
system.
If
there's
no
objection,
I'm
going
to
move
to
amend
the
agenda
to
take
up
new
business
first
prior
to
our
creative
reports,
because
that
item
has
a
significant
impact
on
our
future
operations
and
could
affect
actions
taken
by
the
City
Council
during
this
meeting.
B
So
this
would
be
taking
up
first,
the
adoption,
a
consideration
and
a
potential
adoption
of
the
new
operating
structure
and
modified
meeting
calendar
so
that
we're
clearer
and
clearer
for
the
public
as
we
move
forward
throughout
the
rest
of
this
meeting.
Is
there
any
discussion
on
the
motion
to
amend
the
agenda.

B
The
proposed
restructuring
would
reduce
the
number
of
standing
committee
meetings
to
to
the
first
committee
named
the
business
inspections
and
zoning
committee
would
be
responsible
for
handling
the
city's
regulatory
and
quasi
judicial
functions,
licensing
and
inspections
and
all
land
use
and
zoning
applications,
as
well
as
those
related
agenda
items
and
policy
proposals.
This
committee
would
conduct
its
regular
meetings
on
Tuesday
afternoons
at
1:30
p.m.
B
and
the
recommendation
is
for
this
committee
to
be
chaired
by
councilmember
Goodman,
with
councilmember
Schrader,
as
the
vice
chair
and
the
committee
members
who
have
all
agreed
to
participate
in
this
would
include
councilmembers,
Reich,
Gordon,
Fletcher
and
Allison.
These
council
members
are
all
on
those
two
committees
and
have
a
lot
of
experience
with
the
quasi
judicial
decisions
are
coming
through
that
committee,
although
we
may
see
a
lower
number
of
those
given
the
current
situation.
B
The
second
committee
is
named
the
policy
government
and
oversight
committee,
and
it
would
be
the
primary
working
committee
of
the
City
Council.
It
would
be
responsible
for
handling
all
matters
not
specifically
referred
to
the
committee.
Regular
meetings
would
be
conducted
on
Wednesday
at
1:30
p.m.
all
council
members
will
be.
Members
of
this
committee
and
I
would
serve
as
chair
with
council.
Vice
president
Jenkins,
as
vice
chair,
we
will
also
have
two
subcommittees
that
will
report
to
their
recommendations
to
the
committee
meetings.
B
We
had
to
give
all
of
these
committees
different
names
from
their
typical
Standing
Committee
in
part
not
to
create
confusion,
but
also
because
of
the
way
that
we
track
legislation
and
council
actions
through
our
electronic
limb
system.
So,
for
example,
that's
why
the
race
Equity
subcommittee
is
called
the
equity
subcommittee.
B
The
second
item
is
revised
2020
calendar,
showing
the
dates
and
times
of
all
regular
meetings
under
the
proposed
restructuring,
along
with
some
Associated
directions
to
the
city
clerk
about
handling
the
transition
to
this
new
operating
structure.
The
intention
of
this
would
be
that
it
would
certainly
go
no
longer
than
the
duration
of
the
local
public
health
emergency,
but,
like
we
are
doing
today,
this
could
be
subject
to
a
council
vote
at
any
time
as
well,
so
I
think
as
we
go
forward.
B
We
would
want
to
see
how
this
is
working
and
make
sure
that
we
are
meeting
the
goals
of
keeping
our
city
business
going
being
flexible
at
a
time
of
emergency
and
creating
transparency
for
the
public.
So
I
will
move
approval
of
both
items
and
ask
if
there
are
any
comments
or
questions
from
my
colleagues.
E
Thank
you.
I
just
wanted
to
extend
my
appreciation
to
the
leadership
team.
That's
been
working
on
this
restructuring.
I
think
this
is
incredibly
challenging
and
I
appreciate
that
everybody
has
been
so
nimble
and
you've
come
up
with
this
solution.
So
I
I
wasn't
directly
involved
in
crafting
it,
but
I
just
want
to
send
my
appreciation
to
everybody
who
has
been
and
I
think
we're
all
here
and
we're
ready
to
dig
into
it
and
make
it
work
for
us
as
long
as
we
have
to.
B
Seeing
none
before
I'd
call
the
roll
I'll
just
thank
each
and
every
one
of
you
for
stepping
up
during
this
time.
I
know
all
of
you
are
providing
leadership
and
support
to
your
communities
that
you
represent
in
each
ward,
as
well
as
coming
together
to
support
the
mayor
and
his
staff
as
they
are
triaging
in
this
crisis
and
the
urgency
of
the
beginning
stages
of
what
we
know
may
be
a
very
long
time
of
working
together
to
support
our
community,
so
I,
just
I'm.
B
Inspired
every
day
by
each
of
you
and
your
leadership
I
know:
we've
been
working
to
create
new
mechanisms
of
communication
and
welcome
your
feedback
about
that.
Any
time
and
I
just
also
want
to
highlight
the
work
of
our
own
staff
teams,
who
have
been
having
a
daily
call
to
hear
ideas,
to
consolidate
questions
to
Corney
together
and
share
ideas,
so
they
have
just
been
all
stepping
up
as
well.
So,
thanks
to
all
of
you
and
with
that
I'll
just
see
you
one
last
time,
I
don't
see
anyone
in
queue
so
clerk.
C
A
C
F
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
good
morning.
Everyone,
the
EDRs
committee
today,
is
bringing
seven
items
forward
for
approval
item
number.
One
is
an
application
for
Lawless
distilling
item
two:
are
the
liquor
license
approvals
item?
Three:
are
the
liquor
license
renewals
item?
Four?
Are
gambling
license
approvals
item
five
are
operating
conditions
for
North,
East
Palace
item
six
is
a
rental
license,
condition
for
3214,
Queen,
Avenue,
north
and
item
seven
is
authorizing
a
master
grant
agreement
with
the
state
of
Minnesota
for
employment
and
training
related
services.
I
do
want
to
know
madam
chair.
F
There
are
119
liquor
license
renewals
on
today's
agenda,
which
gives
you
an
idea
of
how
many
businesses
are
trying
to
move
forward
and
that
we
have
in
the
city
that
are
being
severely
impacted
by
this
crisis.
Hopefully,
through
this
renewal,
when
the
crisis
ends
they'll
be
able
to
continue
to
operate,
but
the
volume
of
liquor
licenses
that
we
have
on
every
agenda
is
indicative
of
the
number
of
people
who
are
currently
unemployed
in
the
city
and
I
just
wanted
to
make
note
of
that
today.
I'll
move
items
1
through
7
for
approval
this
morning.
F
G
G
B
Will
note
to
councilmember
Goodman's
point
that
we
have
been
working
very
diligently
with
many
partners
to
try
to
bring
supports
as
quickly
as
we
can
to
all
of
the
folks
in
our
community
who
have
been
impacted
by
coronavirus,
Cove
in
19
so
far,
and
particularly
the
devastating
impacts
on
our
small
business
community
and
all
of
their
workers?
The
mayor
is
hosting
the
second
call
with
local
businesses
today
that
anyone
can
dial
in
to
and
we'll
be
sharing
updates
there
and
I
know.
B
Many
of
you
are
also
putting
out
updates
for
the
resources
that
are
becoming
available
in
your
newsletters.
Our
cpad
staff
team
is
working
hard
with
the
mayor's
and
the
leadership
team
to
continue
to
bring
forward
more
resources,
as
we
find
out
more
of
what's
coming
through
the
federal
bill
and
the
state
legislative
actions
that
have
come
this
week.
So
we
will
have
our
first
formal
update
from
the
mayor's
office
next
Friday,
but
in
the
meantime,
there'll
be
lots
of
different
ways
that
the
supports
and
different
resources
are
being
communicated
out.

L
C
A
K
A
C
G
H
H
I
know
that
we've
already
voted,
but
I
do
want
to
point
out
that
things
have
changed
so
much
in
our
right-of-way
and
the
public
works
team
has
been
doing
a
great
job
it
being
really
thoughtful
as
to
how
they
can
accommodate
this
very
rapid
change
in
all
of
our
public
space
in
our
city.
I
do
hope
that
as
they
move
forward
in
order
contracts
that
they're
using
that
same
lens,
in
that
same
perspective,
that
you
know
at
first
I
thought
well
gosh.
H
How
would
these
scooters
possibly
be
operating
in
our
space
right
now
without,
like
sanitary
wipes
attached
on
to
the
pole
of
them
or
something?
How
would
anybody
want
to
take
these,
but
on
the
other
hand,
this
is
a
piece
of
the
mobility
of
our
city,
especially,
is
the
bus
schedule
is
running
on
Saturday
schedules
right
now
and
there's
a
lot
less
bus
service.
I
do
see
this
as
a
way
that
people
will
be
getting
from
point
to
point.
H
It
seems
that
it
is
played
out
that
way
in
other
cities
that
are
on
lockdown,
that
there
is
more
scooter
use,
not
less,
and
so.
I
just
hope
that
our
public
works
team
I
do
I
am
encouraged
by
the
work
of
our
public
works,
team
and
I
do
expect
that
they
will
be
bringing
some
of
these
considerations
and
thoughts
forward,
because
that
is
different
than
how
this
agenda
item
began
its
route
through
Council.
So
thank
you.
I
just
wanted
to
share
that
context.
Around
the
scooters.
L
B
L
Madam
president,
I
will
add
that
I'm
kind
of
consistent
with
what
councilmember
Palmisano
shared
yeah,
we
do
have
a
new
set
of
circumstances
and
I
will
stand
by
the
decision
making
matrix
that
got
us
to
the
decision
we
had
before
us
today
on
this
item.
But
we
certainly
have
the
flexibility
to
adjust.
L
We
still
are
in
somewhat
of
a
pilot
phase
and
these
early
years
of
the
program,
and
certainly
we
would
look
at
new
information
new
situations
as
we
make
our
decisions
and-
and
we
do
as
a
city
and
as
the
department
maintains,
that
flexibility
to
make
adjustments
as
we
need
on
our
terms,
and
we
would
do
that
in
that
spirit,
particularly
in
light
of
some
considerations
and
concerns
that
have
been
raised
of
late.
We
can.
L
B
B
Any
further
discussion,
I
will
note.
There
was
no
objection
to
councilmember
Cunningham's
vote
and
I,
don't
see
anyone
else.
We
had
already
voted
and
adopted
that
agenda.
So
the
next
report
is
from
our
Ways
and
Means
Committee
presented
by
the
chair,
I,
believe
I
believe
today.
Actually
the
vice-chair
councilmember
Fletcher
will
be
providing
the
report,
but
either
one
of
you
please
go
ahead
with
the
ways
of
mutes
report.

The

B

You,
madam
president,
the
zoning
and
planning
committee
will
bring
forward
two
items
for
a
pool
today.
The
first
is
the
approval
of
rezoning
and
Ally
vacation
at
8,
1
7,
8,
1
9,
8
21
and
the

West
Broadway
Avenue,
as
well
as
1828
1830,
1832,
1836
and
13
1838
Bryant
Avenue
north
and
the
second
is
the
approval
of
a
rezoning
at
28
15
through
28
33,
13th,
Avenue,
South
and
I'll
move
all
for
approval.
C
C
C
B
N
D
Madam
president,
I
do
just
wanna
comment
on
the
resolution
briefly
and
and
thank
my
colleague
customer
cunningham
for
collaborating
on
developing
this
resolution,
and
particularly
you
know.
In
this
time
of
global
uncertainty,
it's
really
important
to
lift
up
some
of
the
most
marginalized
people
in
our
communities
and,
and
certainly
our
transgender
brothers
and
sisters
are
a
part
of
that,
and
so
you
know
this.
D
You
know
low-income
people
who
are
really
struggling
during
this,
this
time
of
just
high
unemployment
and
and
and
you
know,
public
health
concerns
and
historically
transgender
people
have
had
challenges
with
access
to
to
good
health
care,
and
so
you
know,
hopefully
bringing
visibility
and
awareness
to
this
community
will
lessen
some
of
that
discrimination
and
and
make
all
the
services
and
and
supports
available
to
that
community.
Thank
you.
So
much.
G
G
While
we
are
in
a
crisis
like
this,
we
know
that
the
folks
who
are
disproportionately
impacted
are
folks,
who
already
are
marginalized
I,
just
want
to
say
that
I'm
so
proud
to
live
in
a
city
that
even
recognizes
international
trans
day
of
visibility,
and
it's
important
for
us
to
really
emphasize
the
visibility
component
of
it.
The
trans
community
is
so
incredibly
intersectional,
folks
of
all
ethnic
and
cultural
backgrounds,
different
ability,
levels
different.
G
B
Thank
you
both
so
much
for
your
leadership
and
I
know
that
here
in
Minneapolis
and
around
the
country
and
even
around
the
world,
both
of
you
are
important.
Transformational
leaders,
not
just
because
of
who
you
are,
but
because
of
the
work
you
do
and
how
you
work
to
empower
the
communities
in
our
city.
So
thank
you
both
for
your
leadership
that
I'll
see.
If
there
are
any
other
comments
on
the
resolution
item.
C
A
C
C
C
B
There
are
several
items
currently
in
the
queue
of
our
previous
committee
structure
for
public
hearings
that
need
to
be
rescheduled
or
scheduled
for
the
first
time
to
match,
with
the
new
committee
structure
that
we
adopted
at
the
beginning
of
this
meeting
items
1
2,
&
3
are
public
hearings
and
ordinances
that
have
been
scheduled
to
be
held
at
the
economic
development
and
regulatory
services
committee.
Those
motions
are
to
clarify
that
the
hearings
will
now
be
held
by
the
business
inspections
and
zoning
committee.
Although
the
time
date
and
location
have
not
changed.
B
Item
4
is
setting
a
public
hearing
for
April
7
that
the
business
inspections
and
zoning
committee
to
controls
consider
several
appointments
to
the
Zoning
Board
of
Adjustment
item
5
is
setting
a
public
hearing
for
April
8
that
the
policy
government
and
oversight
committee
to
consider
the
five-year
consolidated
plan
and
action
plans.
Item
6
is
setting
a
public
hearing
for
April,
8th
at
the
policy
and
government
oversight
committee
to
consider
the
appointment
of
mark
rough,
a
city
coordinator.
Those
six
items
under
motions
are
all
before
us.
E
B
A
Madam
president,
the
clerk,
the
City
communications
and
the
city
Information
Technology
department
have
been
working
as
council
is
aware
extensively
on
a
process
not
only
to
provide
virtual
meeting
strip
support
for
the
council
and
its
committees,
but
also
examining
the
question
of
public
hearings.
We
do
not
have
answers
at
this
point.
I
think
we're
close.
E
Appreciate
that
and
I'll
just
note
that
if
we
get
to
the
April
7th
dates
on
that
and
we
haven't
figured
out,
we
can
always
continue
the
public
hearing
until
we
are
able
to
do
so,
but
I
think
it's
important.
We
keep
communicating
with
ourselves
and
the
public
about
what
the
solutions
are
going
to
be
and
what
the
strategy
is
to
make
sure
we
find
something
that
we
we're
comfortable
with.
It
also
meets
the
letter
of
the
law.
So
thank
you
much
thank.
A
You,
madam
president,
I,
would
just
say
that
there
are
at
a
minimum
the
opportunity
that
the
public
has
to
submit
written
comments
or
to
email
comments
about
those
items
that
Avenue
still
remains
an
acceptable
legal
way
for
the
public
to
contribute
in
a
quote,
unquote,
hearing
environment
in
terms
of
actually
presenting
during
the
council
meeting.
That's
the
technical
component
that
being
team
internally
is
examining
right
now
and
we'll
have
answers
next
week.
B
You
thank
you
and
I'll
just
note
for
myself
and
council.
Vice-President
I
know
that
we
are
planning
to
check
in
with
each
council
member
and
committee
chairs
to
talk
through
which
items
were
coming
up,
not
quite
this
quickly,
but
the
ongoing
pieces
of
work
that
I
know.
Many
of
us
are
hearing
questions
about.
B
You
know
ordinance,
work
or
longer
term
policy
or
budgetary
decisions,
so
we
will
be
taking
some
time
over
the
next
couple
of
weeks
to
check
in
with
each
of
you
and
the
department
heads
to
understand
which
things
you
know,
need
a
pause
or
a
reschedule
and
then
how
we
might
work
together
to
accommodate
some
public
engagement
going
forward,
knowing
that
we're
all
committed
to
making
decisions
with
the
transparency
that
our
constituents
are
used
to
having.
So,
let's
see,
council
member
Fletcher.
M
Thank
You
president
bender
and
and
thanks
for
the
update
on
the
public
hearing
status,
I've
certainly
been
getting
questions
about
that
about
how
that's
going
to
work.
I
did
just
want
to
emphasize
as
we're
scheduling
these
things.
Moving
forward.
I
don't
have
judgments
about
any
of
the
particular
items
moving
forward.
They
may
make
perfect
sense
to
keep
on
schedule.
M
We're
certainly
going
to
be
looking
to
what
are
the
things
that
don't
have
to
come
through
right
now,
so
that
we
don't
have
to
take
staff
time
on
moving
forward
things
that
can
wait
and-
and
you
know,
be
conscious
about
just
sort
of
efficiently
moving
things
forward.
So
there's
things
that
we
need
to
act
on
those
things
that
we
need
to
act
on
even
more
urgently,
and
then
you
know
if
there
are
things
that
can
wait.
F
Thank
You
Madame
president,
so
first
I'd
say
that
the
items
that
are
being
referred
to
the
biz
committee
are
things
that
were
already
in
process
well
before
the
emergency
hit
and
they're,
not
items
that
I
believe
would
be
hyper
controversial,
but
look
at
who's
on
the
committee.
You
know
between
the
vice
chair
and
I.
We
deal
with
public
feedback
in
public
hearings
all
the
time
and
we
will
not
be
bringing
forward
items
that
are
hyper
controversial,
especially
probably
in
councilmember
Schrader
can
speak
to
this.
F
You
know
very
contested
zoning
and
planning
things
we're
working
with
applicants
in
order
to
see
if
they
can
be
willing
to
waive
the
60
day
rule,
but
the
items
that
are
coming
up
in
the
next
meeting
and
I
realize
there's
a
lot
of
them
are
not.
Two
of
them
are
very
administrative
items,
two
and
three
item
one.
A
number
of
council
members
have
been
working
on
for
a
long
time
and
we
obviously
want
to
keep
the
trains
moving
on
the
Zoning
Board
of
adjustments.
So
I
am
the
least
technology
oriented
person
of
anyone.
F
Next
to
Casey
and
I've
been
able
to
adjust
to
this.
So
I
think
everyone
will
be
able
to
adjust,
but
I
cannot
only
agree
to
written
public
comment
for
controversial
items.
That
is
just
not
something
that
makes
sense.
I'm
uncomfortable
with
it
and
I
think
everyone
on
the
committee
look
at
who's
on
it,
I
mean
councilmembers,
Reich,
Fletcher,
Gorda
and
yourself
we're
not
going
to
allow
controversial
things
to
happen
with
feedback
in
writing
only
and
we'll
work
with
the
council
president
and
vice
president
to
ensure
that
we're
on
the
right
track.
F
C
C
A
C
A
B
B
D
Thank
you,
madam
president.
This
is
not
an
announcement,
but
we
have
noted
that
council,
member
Ellison
has
not
been
able
to
to
fully
be
able
to
participate
in
this
meeting
and
I
just
want
to
offer
my
condolences
to
him
and
his
entire
family,
as
they
mourned
the
loss
of
his
grandmother
and
our
attorney
general
Heath,
Ellison's,
mother
and
and
just
wanted
to
publicly
offer
my
my
sincere
condolences
to
that
family
as
they
grieve
the
loss
of
their
beloved
mother
and
grandmother.
B
J
Thank
you.
Madam
president,
you
know.
I
was
gonna
write
if
I
was
gonna
write
a
long
flowery
speech
with
regards
to
my
exit
from
the
City
Council.
However
I'm
just
gonna
keep
it
very
short
and
brief.
I
want
to.
First
of
all
thank
my
colleagues,
especially
those
council
members
who
you
know
who
started
off
with
council
president
bender
council
part
Masato
my
mentor
council,
member
Goodman
and
also
you
know
all
the
other
council
members.
J
You
know
councilman
Jenkins,
who
I've
worked
with
for
a
long
time
and
who
admire
you,
and
you
know
thank
you
for
your
kind
words
and
you
leadership
in
a
council
member
cunningham,
a
great
brother
and
a
friend
of
mine.
I
thank
him
as
well,
and
all
the
council
members,
you
know,
cause
remember
right,
council,
member
Fletcher,
trader,
councilman
McConnell,
who
I
started
off
with
as
well
a
wonderful
council
member.
You
know
the
mayor
and
everybody,
you
know
I,
don't
want
to
forget
any
names.
I
wanted
to
shout
out.
J
J
The
interim,
and
hopefully
you
know,
city
coordinator
mark
ruff-
was
a
wonderful
asset
to
the
city
as
well.
You
know,
and
also
my
constituents
and
the
public
at
large.
It
has
been
a
great
honor
to
be
a
council
member,
the
city
of
Minneapolis.
He
has
been
very
tough
as
well,
but
it's
been
a
wonderful
time
and
I
and
I
and
I
want
to
say
that
you
know
I
know
the
city's
in
good
hands
with
the
leadership
that
we
have
in
place
and
I
look
forward
to
working
with
you
in
my
new
role.
J
It's
gonna
take
a
bit
of
time
to
adjust
to
things
and
I
wanna,
you
know
I,
you
know,
I
will
try
to
do
my
best
to
serve
the
people
and
public
housing
in
our
city
and
I
look
forward
to
working
with
each
one
of
you
and
I'm
getting
teary
eyed,
but
my
children
are
behind
me.
So
I,
don't
want
to
you
know,
show
any
weakness.
So
thank
you
very
much
to
everyone
and
God
bless
and
also
my
condolences
to
cancer
on
Burlison,
on
the
loss
of
his
grandmother
and
to
our
state
attorney
keith
Ellison.
B
I,
don't
see
any
well
with
that
I'll
just
say.
Thank
you
so
much
councilman
for
Asami,
I
think
under
typical
circumstances.
We
would
have
also
had
more
flowery
speeches
and
resolutions,
so
I
think
we'll
promise
to
do
a
better
job
of
honoring.
This
transition,
when
we
all
can
and
we're
so
excited
for
your
leadership
in
this
new
role
and
appreciate
you
so
much
I
realize
I
did
get
cut
off
with
some
technical
issues
before
so.
I
was
halfway
through
talking
about
the
transition.
B
So
I
know
that
all
of
us
are
dedicated
to
supporting
the
residents
of
Ward
6
and
to
supporting
the
staff
in
the
ward
6
office,
including
the
clerk
and
all
of
us
on
the
City
Council
under
state
law.
We
will
be
able
to
hold
a
special
election
for
this
Ward
6
City
Council
seat
in
August.
The
clerk
has
been
working
very
hard
to
plan
for
that.
I
have
had
some
conversations
with
our
legislative
delegation.
Changing
that
date
would
require
a
la
state,
a
change
to
state
law.
B
You
have
been
a
leader
in
the
community
and
such
a
support
to
folks.
I
know:
we've
joked
that
even
walking
to
and
from
the
train
on
the
way
to
and
from
work.
You
were
speaking
with
constituents
and
about
all
kinds
of
things,
just
all
the
things
that
were
affecting
their
daily
lives.
So
you
will
leave
big
shoes
to
fill,
but
we
will
do
our
best
on
behalf
of
word,
six
I
don't
see
anyone
else
in
queue
to
speak.
B
So
with
that,
we
have
concluded
our
agenda
for
this
meeting
with
no
further
business
to
come
before
us.
I
would
send
motion
to
adjourn
to
April
3rd
2010
in
room
317,
City
Hall,
as
well
as
on
this
platform
here
for
the
purpose
of
receiving
a
mayoral
report
related
to
the
local
public
health
emergency,
resulting
from
imminent
health
conditions
caused
by
the
presence
of
coronavirus
disease
and
asked
the
clerk
to
call
the
roll
on
that
motion.
C
C
B
B
Carries
and
we
are
adjourned
to
April
3rd,
that
will
be
the
mayor's
report,
and
so
thank
you
so
much
everyone
for
your
work
today
for
your
patience
with
our
technology
and
flexibility,
and
thanks
to
the
members
of
the
public
who
be
able
to
join
us
remotely
have
a
great
weekend
and
our
thoughts
are
with
everyone
right
now,
as
we
work
together
to
get
through
this
emergency
here
in
Minneapolis.
Thank
you.
