Carries
and
those
matters
are
referred,
but
that
look
proceeds
to
the
mayor's
regular
report
of
the
state
of
our
local
health
emergency
under
the
order
of
new
business.
We
have
the
full
report
posted
in
linz
and
in
the
interest
of
time,
because
several
of
us
have
a
meeting
with
the
governor's
office
at
11:30.
I've
asked
Mia
fry
if
he
can
consolidate
the
presentation
today
and
we'll
hold
our
questions
until
the
end.
A
G
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
will
be
as
brief
as
possible.
It
has
been
a
trying
week
for
our
city
with
with
gun,
violence
and
and
other
issues
throughout
throughout
Minneapolis,
and,
like
many
of
you
have
been
working
very
in
close
contact
with
our
community
leaders
and
businesses
who
have
been
directly
impacted.
G
G
G
The
health
department's
moving
to
that
slide
congregate.
Living
facilities
in
Minneapolis
consent
continue
to
see
new
cases
among
residents
and
while
accounting
for
only
for
10
percent
of
confirmed
cases,
there
are
almost
80%
of
Cova.
19
deaths,
certainly
a
disproportionate
impact
there,
a
majority
of
white
cases,
54
percent,
are
45
and
older
over
60%
cases
among
black
Asian
Hispanic
sar
under
45
years
of
age.
G
Moving
on
to
testing
the
Minnesota
Department
of
Health
recommends
Cove
19
testing.
If
you
were
involved
in
any
of
the
recent
protests
that
occurred
across
the
state
beginning
May
25th
2020
free
testing
was
offered
through
June
24th
in
Minneapolis
and
st.
Paul
contact
tracing
the
Health
Department
continues
to
conduct
over
30
case
investigations
and
contact
follow-up
for
individuals
diagnosed
with
covin
19
every
day.
Eighty-Six
percent
of
all
cases
reported
in
Minneapolis
have
been
interviewed.
10
percent
are
loss
to
follow-up.
G
2
percent
refused
the
interview
and
2
percent
represent
new
cases
that
we
have
yet
to
speak
with.
Currently,
the
MHD
has
21
investigators
and
has
on
board
and
10
non
MHD
enterprise
staff,
so
they're
doing
very
hard
work.
That
is
absolutely
essential
right
now,
in
addition,
through
June
24th
Minnesota
health
department,
as
a
Minneapolis
Health
Department
excuse
me,
staff
have
supported
the
Minnesota
health
department's
community.
F
G
In
the
area
of
prevention,
we
recently
provided
4,500
16
cloth,
masks
and
a
486
and
bottles
of
sanitizers
to
residents,
low-income
multi-family
housing
properties,
faith
communities,
community
clinics
in
Cedar,
Riverside,
community
org
and
the
community
health
care
clinic
moving
to
the
office
of
emergency
management
and
workforce
I'm
gonna
actually
skip
this.
The
numbers
are
basically
exactly
the
same
as
last
week
and
the
week
before.
We
very
much
appreciate
their
work.
During
this
time.
I
know
they're
doing
overtime
procurement.
As
of
June
24th.
There
has
been
5000.
G
Excuse
me:
5
million
34,000
939,
then
the
total
increase
was
roughly
64
thousand
and
can
be
attributed
to
cloth,
masks
to
the
figure
of
23,000
sanitizing
supplies
and
the
contract
for
mental
health
services
and,
as
I
note
every
week,
I
want
to
be
there
clear.
This
is
not
the
total
spend
related
to
Kovan.
The
total
spend
is
in
the
tens
of
millions
at
this
point
and
is
far
more
significant
than
these
simple
procurement
items
near
at
public
safety.
Violent
crime
is
up
thirteen
point.
G
The
fire
department
continues
to
remain
vigilant
in
their
efforts
to
remain
focused
on
the
cove
at
nineteen
and
pandemic
and
the
potential
impact
on
our
workforce.
The
department's
daily
staffing
remains
consistent,
resulting
in
overtime
being
held
to
a
minimum.
The
Longfellow
neighborhood
has
taken
the
initiative
of
having
a
group
of
residents
take
the
online
cert,
which
is
the
Community
Emergency
Response
Team
course,
together.
G
At
an
impasse,
the
Senate
House
and
governor
did
not
agree
on
essential
pieces
of
legislation
that
provided
funding
to
local
governments
for
Cova
19
response
through
the
state's
cares:
Act
appropriation,
Public,
Safety
reform,
bonding
and
economic
relief
funding
to
support
recovery,
work
related
to
the
civil
unrest
host,
George,
Floyd's
murder,
the
Thursday,
the
governor
announced
a
plan
to
distribute,
cares,
Act
relief
funds
to
communities
across
the
state,
and
we
expect
Minneapolis
to
receive
roughly
32
million.
Of
that,
we
of
course,
would
like
to
receive
the
additional
monies
that
are
based
on
me.
G
Minneapolis,
given
the
density
of
population
has
a
disproportionate
impact
on
our
residents,
Cova
19.
That
is,
and
we
know
that
there
are
other
cities
and
towns
around
the
state
of
Minnesota.
That
also
have
a
disproportionate
impact,
and
we
certainly
believe
that
money
should
be
delivered
based
on
where
it
is
needed.
Most.
G
Totaling,
four
hundred
fifteen
thousand
four
hundred
twenty
seven
in
assistance
payments
for
the
forgivable
loan
program,
the
small
business
forgivable
loans
have
been
fully
awarded
a
value
of
1
million,
five
hundred
fifty
thousand
that
was
awarded
to
173
small
businesses.
Thank
you.
So
much
to
all
that
were
involved
in
getting
that
money
out
and
for
that
work.
I
know
how
important
it
is.
G
Minneapolis
forward
is
a
is
a
cross
section
team
that
will
help
transform
an
analyst
to
a
stronger,
equitable,
inclusive,
resilient
and
innovative
city.
The
work
continues,
the
Coalition
has
already
begun
meeting
and
we
have
established
that
core
strategies
team
that
is
made
up
of
the
coalition
co-chairs
and
agencies
and
organizations
that
are
are
rooted
in
the
community.
Thank
you.
So
much
all
for
your
time,
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
Apologize
for
the
rushed
presentation
but
I
know
you'd
give
what
to
do.
Thank.
E
G
F
F
A
A
So
there
are
no
objections.
I
will
direct
the
clerk
to
file
the
mayor's
report.
Again,
the
full
report
is
available
on
the
lim
system
as
well.
The
next
order
of
business
is
the
reports
of
standing
committees,
we'll
begin
with
report
from
the
business
inspections
and
zoning
committee.
This
chair
this
cycle,
the
meeting
was
chaired
by
the
vice
chair,
councilmember
Schrader
I
will
move
approval
of
the
report,
as
listed
in
Linz.
A
I
will
note
that
there
were
specific
applications
for
the
addresses
to
3:09,
flemeth,
Avenue,
north
and
5/10
west
lake
street,
along
with
liquor
and
gambling
licenses,
an
animal
control
item
and
one
item
related
to
the
post
office
mobile
station.
So
I
will
move
approval
of
that
report.
I
will
see
if
the
chair
would
like
to
add
any
detail
and
then
see
if
there's
any
questions
or
discussion
from
Council
members,
councilmember
Schrader.
D
A
E
I
Council
president
council,
vice
president,
if
I
may,
this
is
David
Frank
from
c-pen.
This
is
allowing
us
to
enter
into
an
agreement
with
the
US
Postal
Service
to
have
their
mobile
truck
on
site.
After
we
have
control
of
the
property
which
we
expect
in
the
next
few
days.
The
truck
will
be
on
site
during
the
day
some
days
during
the
week,
and
then
it
will
be
driven
off
site
in
the
evenings.
I
I
Council
president
council,
vice
president
sorry
I
should
have
started
with
that.
Now
these
are
retail
services
available
to
residents
and
businesses.
So
this
is
the
equivalent
of
the
window
at
the
post
office.
The
Postal
Service
would
not
be
sorting
mail
here,
you'd
be
able
to
buy
stamps,
send
packages
things
like
that
right.
F
F
A
Carries
and
the
report
is
adopted
next-
we
have
the
report
from
the
policy
and
Government
Oversight.
Committee
I
will
move
approval
of
the
Pogo
agenda
as
listed
in
the
lymph
system.
Those
items
were
presented
and
discussed
at
the
Pogo
meeting
last
week.
I
will
note
that
director
Hutchison
sends
an
email
to
the
City
Council
about
item
number
29,
which
was
the
item
about
scooter
licences
in
the
city.
So
I
will
move
that
and
I
will
see
if
there's
any
discussion
again.
A
A
B
B
F
F
A
E
Thank
you.
Madam
president,
the
executive
committee
brings
forward
one
item
for
consideration
today,
which
is
to
refer
the
reappointment
by
Chief
John

as
fire

I

and
will
be
referred
to
the
committee
as

the
next
order
of
business
is
notice
of
ordinance
introductions
and
we
have
five
notices
this
morning.
All
are
fluffed

on
the
agenda.
These
are
all
notices
of
intent
to
introduce
the
subject
matter
of
various

of
the
City

which
is
scheduled
for
Friday
July
17,
first

councilmember,
Fletcher
and
ordinance

Chiefs

the
stipulation

this
into

and
the
Minnesota

The
third

housing
code
and
the
zoning
code
to
regulate
rooming
houses,
single

room,
occupancy
lip
units
and
congregate
living
facilities.
A
Seeing
none
all
five
ordinances,
the
notice
has
been
giving
and
no
further
action
is
required.
Those
will
come
back
to
the
next
city
council
meeting
for
subject
matter
introduction.
The
next
order
of
business
is
the
introduction
referral
calendar.
We
have
four
ordinances
to
consider
consider
this
morning.
First
councilmember
Goodman
requests
unanimous
consent
and
moves
to
introduce
gifts
first,
give
first
reading
to
and
refer
to
the
policy

Government
Oversight
Committee
and
ordinance
related
to
the
summit
house
housing
improvement
area,
which
was

A
And
the
ornaments
will

Pogo

on
Thursday
July
9th.
The
next
introduction
this

to
submit
to
prior
notice,
given
is
that
councilmember
Cano.
It's
a
motion
to
introduce,
get
first
reading

refer
to
the
business

inspections
and
zoning
committee
and
ordinance
amending
licenses

Is

A
F
A
A
A
The
third
introduction
this
morning,
pursuant
to
prior
notice,
given
is
from
councilmember
Gorton
and
it's
a
motion
to
introduce
a
first
reading
to
and
refer
to,
the
policy
Government
Oversight
Committee,
an
ordinance
amending
altering
and
adding
provisions
related
to
the
police
department
in
its
duty
structure
and
oversight.
Is
there
any
discussion
on
that
introduction
in
referral.
A
F
A
A
Carry
the
network
notes
will
be
referred
to
the
Pogo
committee
in
the
next
cycle
on
Thursday
July,
9th
the
4th
introduction,
pursuant
to
prior
notice,
given
at
the
last
regular
council
meeting
it's
by
councilmembers
Ellison,
Cano,
Gordon,
Fletcher
and
myself.
It
is
a
proposal
for
a
charter
amendment
by
referendum
related
to
the
creation
of
a
new
community
safety
and
violence
prevention
department
and
the
removal
of
the
police
department.
A
As
a
charter
department,
there
are
a
series
of
procedural
motions
associated
with
this
action
and
thank
you
so
much
to
the
clerk
and
his
staff
for
sending
out
information
about
this,
for
the
public
and
for
council
members.
So
the
first
of
these
motions
I
will
take
up
first
the
motion
to
amend
the
notice
that
was
given
in
order
to
extend
the
scope
to
include
further
amendments
in
article
8
that
relate
to
the
police
department.
A
K
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Before
we
get
to
the
point
of
suspending
the
rules
here,
I
would
just
like
to
for
the
clerk.
He
did
send
a
great
email
to
all
of
us,
but
I'd
like
to
ask
the
clerk
if
he
would
summarize
think
what
will
need
to
happen
for
an
order
of
this
magnitude
magnitude
on
the
whole
charter
process.
Maybe
that's
not
well
yeah,
I,
think
that
is
maybe
for
now,
but
as
we
get
to
that
point,
could
we
please
ask
the
clerk
to
explain
all
the
different
pieces
and
parts
that
happen.
A
Sure
so
I
will
start
and
answer
that
question
by
saying
there
will
be
three
motions
related
to
this
topic
of
the
charter
amendment.
The
first
is
a
motion
to
amend
the
notice
that
was
given.
That
would
require
unanimous
approval
in
order
to
include
these
extra
references
to
the
police
department
in
the
Charter.
There
have
a
technical
nature.
A
If,
though,
if
that
amendment
fails
the
next,
regardless
of
the
outcome
of
that
vote,
the
next
motion
would
be
to
suspend
the
rules
to
expedite
the
process
of
an
ordinance
to
put
this
on
the
ballot
because
of
the
timeline
related
to
get
to
the
2020
election.
And
then
the
third
motion
would
be
specific
to
the
language
and
the
underlying
coordinates
for
this
Charter
change.
That
would
be
the
specific
ballot
language
and
the
underlying
ordinance
that
would
be
going
along
with
the
question
to
voters
on
the
ballot.
A
B
President
you've
stated
the
process
more
concisely
than
I
ever
could
I'm
happy
to
provide
more
directs
planation,
if
necessary,
on
the
suspension
of
the
rules
but
as
you've
surmised.
The
actual
motion
right
now
is
on
the
content
of
the
question
before,
and
it
requires
the
unanimous
consent
for
us
to
determine
whether
or
not
to
include
the
other
technical
provisions
within
the
scope
of
the
notice,
so
I
think.
Maybe
if
the
body
starts
there
and
then
there
are
more
questions.
I
can
certainly
add
to
the
very
good
explanation
where
you
provided.
B
A
F
A
B
Madam
president,
before
you
continue,
I
would
say
that
the
technical
team
then
will
be
working
to
both
post
a
copy
of
the
updated
draft
ordinance
that
includes
the
technical
changes
both
in
article
7
and
an
article
8
to
limbs,
so
that
the
public
can
access.
That
and
I
would
also
share
that
the
technical
team
has
ready
and
is
available
to
post.
B
A
You
both
to
the
clerk's
office
and
the
technical
team
for
that
for
doing
that.
The
second
motion
is
to
suspend
the
rules
to
expedite
the
processing
of
this
ordinance
due
to
the
statutorily
dictated
timeline
for
the
submission
of
battle
questions
for
this
year's
general
election.
The
statutory
deadline
to
submit
about
question
is
August
21st
in
order
to
meet
that
deadline.
D
A
To
provide
only
one
public
hearing
on
this
proposal,
which
would
be
conducted
by
the
Charter
Commission,
this
would
also
authorize
the
Charter
Commission
to
submit
its
report
and
any
recommendations
directly
to
the
Pogo
Committee
rather
than
to
the
full
City
Council.
This
motion
to
suspend
the
rules
essentially
streams
on
it,
streamlines
our
legislative
process
us
to
the
maximum
extent
due
to
tight
timelines,
and
that
has
been
sent
out
by
the
clerk
and
thank
you
again
mr.
Clark,
for
making
yourself
so
available
this
week
to
answer
questions
to
councilmember
Thomas
on
his
point.
A
This
is
a
significant
decision
for
us.
Typically,
this
kind
of
decision
would
go
sort
of
back
and
forth
between
the
council
and
the
Charter
Commission,
and
this
would
simply
be
making
that
decision
today
to
send
it
directly
to
the
Charter
Commission,
as
well
as
to
our
committee.
At
the
same
time,
having
the
one
public
hearing
at
the
Charter
Commission,
so
I
will
pause
and
see
if
there
are
any
questions
or
comments
from
my
colleagues
happy
to
allow
or
invite
the
clerk
to
make
any
clarifications
or
additions.
A
I
will
note
that
passage
of
the
motion
to
suspend
our
rules
requires
an
affirmative
vote
of
two-thirds
of
the
members
present,
and
so
you
have
the
motion
before
you.
I
have
moved
that
I
heard
customer
Gordon
chime
in
with
a
seconds
in
the
middle
of
the
long
technical
explanation,
Thank
You
pops
on
recording.
Is
there
any
discussion
on
that
motion.
F
A
Carries
and
that
has
been
adopted,
I'll
note
that
the
clerk's
office
has
shared
that
the
legislative
file
has
been
updated
in
our
lymph
system
for
the
public,
including
those
technical
amendments
that
were
made
through
that
first
motion.
Thank
you
again
for
that.
This
brings
us
to
the
question
of
the
underlying
ordinance
and
its
introduction
and
referral.
I
will
move
that
and
see.
If
there's
any
discussion
on
the
introduction
and
referral
of
this
ordinance.
H
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I,
just
want
to
make
a
few
comments
about
the
role
of
the
City
Council
within
the
context
of
moving
a
charter.
Amendment
I've
had
the
good
fortune,
I
guess
I
would
say
to
be
involved
in
many
charter
amendments
and
the
point
we're
at
right
now
is
not
the
point
where
we're
saying
we
want
this
to
go
on
the
ballot
or
we
want
the
public
to
do
this.
In
my
opinion,
what
we're
saying
now
is
this
is
an
item
that
belongs
in
the
Charter
it
is.
H
It
is
a
topic
that
is
one
at
which
the
Charter
should
take
up
the
issue
of
police,
staffing
and
one
in
which
we
believe
the
voters
should
vote
on
so
by
seeing
unanimous
consent,
which
I
believe
we'll
see
today,
it's
not
necessarily
a
referendum
by
everybody
on
whether
or
not
we're
going
to
immediately
change
the
Charter.
That's
not
what
this
does.
This
is
not
a
unanimous
vote
to
change
it.
H
It's
a
union
and
I,
don't
know
that
it
will
be
unanimous,
but
it
is
a
vote
to
determine
that
this
is
an
item
worthy
of
the
Charter
and
what
we're
doing
today
is
moving
it
forward
to
the
Charter
Commission
for
a
public
vote.
I
think
it's
important
for
folks
to
realize
that
there
are
many
issues
that
people
would
like
to
bring
up
on
the
Charter
that
don't
have
anything
to
do
with
the
Charter
an
example.
H
I
use
all
the
time
as
cannabis,
legalization
I,
don't
know
that
there
are
many
people,
maybe
Andrew,
Johnson
and
I,
who
want
to
see
cannabis
legalized,
but
we're
not
going
to
do
a
charter
amendment
on
that,
because
it's
not
something
that
has
to
do
with
the
Charter.
But
the
makeup
of
Public
Safety
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis
and
MPD
in
particular,
is
clearly
an
item
for
the
Charter
and
changes
that
need
to
happen
need
to
happen
through
a
charter.
H
Amendment
and
I
fully
support
that
I
do
believe
that
the
public
should
have
the
opportunity
to
vote
on
how
they
view
public
safety
in
the
city,
so
I
just
want
to
clarify.
Today's
vote
is
not
to
do
anything
other
than
set
up
a
public
hearing
for
the
Charter
Commission
to
take
on
to
look
at
the
language
they
could
make
changes
or
not.
It
will
come
back
to
us.
H
It's
not
a
referendum
by
everybody
on
the
council
on
whether
or
not
this
language
is
good
or
bad,
but
it
will
be
a
vote
on
whether
or
not
we
think
the
public
deserves
to
take
this
issue
up
and
I
certainly
believe
the
public
deserves
to
take
this
issue
up,
which
is
why
I
will
be
voting
for
this
today
and
attempting
to
be
consistent.
In
my
view,
with
regard
to
how
we
handle
charter
issues,
everyone
shouldn't
come
to
us
with
every
policy
issue
that
they
want
changed
unless
it
has
something
to
do
with
the
Charter.
E
Specifically,
for
many
of
the
reasons
that
councilmember
Goodman
enumerated,
I
am
absolutely
supportive.
Our
residents
have
any
opportunity
to
weigh
in
on
this
this
significant
change
to
our
Charter.
What
I
do
want
to
just
say,
though,
is
you
know
the
issues
of
the
police
department.
The
issues
of
all
of
the
institutions
in
our
society
is
really
foundationally
underlie
underlying.
E
Racism
and
until
we
really
address
that
issue,
we
can
change
the
name
of
the
Public
Safety.
You
know
the
makeup,
but
until
we
really
address
racism,
nothing
is
gonna
change.
We're
gonna
have
a
new
name
of
a
new
public
safety
measure
with
the
same
underlying
racist
foundations
that
has
been
involved
in
the
formulation
of
this
country
forever,
and
so
we
must
be
dealing
with
both
of
those
issues
simultaneously.
L
This
is
a
precondition
to
the
change
that
people
are
asking
for.
It's
it's
a
way
of
reducing
the
barriers
that
have
prevented
previous
councils
on
previous
mayors
and
previous
community
efforts
from
succeeding
in
creating
the
change
that
we
need,
and
we
have
committed
to
a
long
community
engagement
process.
That
is
only
just
beginning.
This
vote.
L
If
it's
on
the
ballot
in
November,
as
I
hope
it
is,
gives
us
an
opportunity
for
the
voters
to
check
in
in
the
middle
of
that
engagement
process,
to
tell
us
that
we're
on
the
right
track,
I
believe
that
that's
the
right
thing
for
us
to
do
to
make
sure
that
we
put
it
to
the
people
of
Minneapolis
to
make
this
change.
And
if
and
we
are
gonna
be
making
decisions.
There
are
a
lot
of
big
ideas
being
discussed,
many
of
which
are
somewhat
contradictory
and
we're
going
to
have
to
make
decisions.
L
But
I
just
want
to
be
clear
that
if
we
wanted
to
pursue
a
Camden
style
restart,
as
many
have
said,
we
need
to.
We
need
a
charter
change.
If
we
want
to
abolish
the
police
as
some
are
calling
for,
we
need
a
charter
change
if
we
want
to
create
a
more
balanced
department
that
relies
less
on
police
but
maintains
a
police
force.
We
need
a
charter
change
and
if
we
want
the
council
to
create
increased
public
accountability
and
policy
oversight
and
Public
Safety,
we
need
a
charter
change.
L
If
we
want
to
maintain
the
status
quo,
we
can
do
that
under
either
version
of
the
Charter
and
as
council.
Vice
president
Jenkins
noted
it
is
possible
if
we
don't
do
the
rest
of
our
work,
for
us
to
do
that
and
shame
on
us.
If
we
do,
if
we
don't
address
the
racism
in
our
systems,
if
we
don't
address
the
changes
that
need
to
be
made,
we
could
end
up
in
that
situation
and
the
activists
who
are
pointing
out
that
this
is
not
in
itself.
The
change
we
need
are
correct.
L
We
are
not
pre
deciding
the
outcomes
of
this
community
engagement
process,
but
we
are
removing
the
main
structural
barriers
to
that
change.
What
we
are
doing
is
putting
the
question
to
the
voters.
The
people
of
Minneapolis
should
have
a
chance
to
decide.
Voters
can
vote
no
if
they
want
to
maintain
the
structural
barriers
that
have
prevented
changes
for
decades.
Voters
can
vote
yes
if
they
want
to
create
a
more
flexible
and
responsive
government
that
can
innovate,
improve
and
provide
a
new
approach
to
public
safety.
M
M
We
have
the
Federation
as
a
barrier
to
the
kind
of
change
that
people
are
asking
for,
and
we
have
the
Charter
as
a
barrier
to
the
kind
of
change
that
people
are
asking
for
and
we
as
a
council
have
the
ability
to
affect
one
of
those
barriers.
It's
a
major
one.
The
Charter
is
that
and
what
we're
seeing
is
that
at
the
state
legislature
and
with
the
Federation
I
believe
that
we're
gonna
have
gridlock
there.
M
I,
don't
believe
that
those
are
the
pathways
or
people
to
activate
their
own
agency
I
decide
what
Public
Safety
in
Minneapolis
is
going
to
look
like
the
Charter.
This
is
the
pact
that
provides
our
residents
with
the
most
agency
to
affirm
what
they
want.
A
new
public
say,
a
new
system
of
Public
Safety
to
look
like,
and
so
I
do
hope.
This
makes
it
onto
the
ballot
in
November.
I
will
be
asking
folks
to
vote.
M
Yes,
I
think
that
the
language
is
good
and
I
think
that
it
it
it
does
successfully
lay
the
groundwork
for
us
to
make
the
kind
of
systemic
change
that
people
are
asking
for.
So
I
want
to
thank
all
my
colleagues
look
at
who
are
going
to
support
this,
and
you
know
we
will
move
on
to
the
Chart
Commission
next.
Thank
you.
N
Thank
you,
Madam
President
I
wanted
to
acknowledge
all
of
the
work
that
has
gone
into
this
language
today.
I
know
that,
for
many
of
us
responding
to
the
horrific
incident
that
took
mr.
Boyd's
life
a
few
weeks
ago,
you
know
a
lot
of
us
were
trying
to
figure
out
what
would
be
the
most
meaningful
and
and
true
response
to
address
the
root
causes
of
not
only
that
a
specific
incident,
but
the
money
that
all
of
us,
as
a
council
have
had
to
take
up
and
to
grapple
with
over
the
past
few
years.
N
So
I
do
think
that
today's
language
is
strong.
I
do
think
we
are
putting
ourselves
on
a
very
clear
path
to
create
a
new
transformative
model
of
Public
Safety
I.
Don't
want
to
underestimate
the
the
ability
that
this
action
gives
us
to
create
more
space
within
the
city,
governance
and
also
pushing
to
to
engage
our
community
more
throughout
this
year-long
process
of
truth
and
reconciliation.
N
I
do
I
do
believe
this
language
is
really
really
good,
and
many
of
us
spent
countless
hours
working
with
each
other,
with
staff
with
legal
experts,
with
a
lot
of
contending
with
a
lot
of
those
questions
that
communities
have
raised
about
accountability
and
systems
change
and
and
having
a
future
where
the
people
of
Minneapolis
can
choose
how
they
want
to
show
up
for
each
other
when
people
need
help
and
how
we
want
to
protect
our
community.
And
so
for
me,
that's
ultimately
what
we're
doing
here
is.
N
That
is,
you
know,
that
is
that
our
community
neighbors
and
our
blocks
are
each
cultivating
from
the
ground
up
and
so
I
just
want
to
thank
the
many
colleagues
here
today
that
were
available
for
phone
calls
and
late
research
into
the
night
and
and
putting
together
the
most
robust
language
that
we
feel
will
help
will
help
us
get
there.
So
thank
you.
J
Thank
you
very
much
and
I'm.
Very
supportive
of
this
move.
I
also
wanted
to
offer
thanks
to
our
city
staff,
and
particularly
to
the
policy
aides
of
authors,
who
worked
so
hard
on
this,
and
certainly
to
the
authors
of
this
language.
It
was
difficult
getting
here
and
also
to
our
colleagues
who
have
looked
at
it
and
thought
about
this.
J
We
are
putting
this
forward
I
think
as
the
next
logical
step
to
the
resolution
that
we
unanimously
passed
at
our
last
meeting,
which
laid
out
at
a
community
engagement
process
and
a
vision
and
goals
for
how
we
want
to
transform
public
safety
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis
and
just
as
councilmember
Fletcher
and
others
have
said.
This
is
an
important
key
step
if
we're
actually
going
to
be
able
to
do
that.
J
Think
we've
done
a
good
job,
occasionally
I'm,
using
the
bully
pulpit
using
the
budget
using
the
Chiefs
appointment
to
try
to
move
things
around
a
little
bit,
but
I
don't
think
we've
been
able
to
have
the
kind
of
policymaking
participation
that
we
should
have.
I
think
that
the
residents
of
Minneapolis
need
us
to
have
in
order
for
us
to
really
make
a
professional
public
safety
department,
and
this
will
give
us
an
opportunity
to
do
that.
I
will
certainly
be
supporting
this
if
it
makes
it
onto
the
ballot.
J
I
think
there's
questions
about
what
are
the
next
steps,
and
is
that
going
to
be
possible
this
year
and
I
hope
that
people
who
really
want
to
have
an
engagement
process
and
really
want
to
talk
about
how
we
can
make
these
improvements
will
be
able
to
support
this
as
we
go
forward
so
that
we
can
then
have
the
foundation
so
that
we
can
actually
make
the
changes
that
everybody
wants.
I
think
this
is
a
unique
time
in
the
history
of
our
city.
J
A
You
I
don't
see
any
before
calling
the
roll
I
will
just
add
a
few
brief
thoughts
and
first
I
just
want
to
thank
each
of
you.
We
find
ourselves
in
office
at
a
point
in
time,
which
is
extraordinary
in
many
ways
extraordinary
for
the
pain
that
our
community
is
feeling
after
the
death
of
George
Floyd
for
the
pain
our
community
has
been
feeling
for
many
years
many
centuries
because
of
racism
and
white
supremacy
we're
in
a
pandemic
and
a
health
crisis.
A
Folks
focus
on
the
council
or
specific
council
members,
but
I
know
each
of
you
and
I
know
how
deeply
rooted
you
are
in
the
wards
and
the
communities
that
you
represent
and
that,
when
you
show
up
here,
even
in
this
virtual
environment,
you're,
bringing
your
community's
voices
with
you
and
I
know
that
to
be
true
of
every
single
member
of
the
City,
Council
and
I.
Think
to
the
council
vice
president's
point
and
the
points
that
many
others
have
made
sustained
change
takes
that
deep
community
investment.
A
It's
a
structural
change
that
allows
us
to
invest
in
a
holistic
approach
to
safety,
using
evidence-based
strategies
using
the
brilliance
and
expertise
of
our
staff
from
all
different
disciplines,
with
all
different
kinds
of
experience,
and
so
I
hope
that
the
Charter
Commission
will
recognize
the
moment
we
are
in
and
take
our
offer
of
support.
However,
we
can
provide
it
to
expedite
this
process
so
that
voters
have
a
chance
to
have
their
voices
heard
on
this
important
question
at
this
important
moment
in
our
city's
history.
So
thank
you
again
to
everyone.
A
You
all
thanked
all
of
the
staff
and
our
aides,
our
community
members
and
everyone
who
has
helped
this.
This
particular
change
come
forward.
But
again
it
is
part
of
a
much
bigger,
a
broader
conversation
which
will
take
sustained
conversations,
sustained
commitment
to
dismantling
white
supremacy
in
every
system,
including
this
one
over
many
years
to
come.
So
thank
you
each
again
for
your
leadership
with
that
clerk.
Please
call
the
roll.
A
A
Carries
and
this
ordinance
will
will
be
referred
to
the
next
Charter
Commission
meeting
on
July
8
and
the
Pogo
Committee,
which
will
be
Thursday
July
9th.
Thank
you.
Next,
we
have
one
item
under
motions.
This
is
a
staff
direction
by
council
member
Johnson
related
to
economic
and
rebuilding
recovery
strategies.
I'll
recognize
council
member
Johnson
for
this
item.
C
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
bring
forward
this
staff
direction
after
talking
with
a
number
of
property
owners
along
areas
of
our
city
that
were
damaged
very
heavily
after
the
civil
unrest
and
domestic
terrorism
that
occurred,
and
we
were
hoping
today
to
bring
or
actual
actions
on
a
number
of
these
different
things.
But
we
needed
a
little
more
staff
time
and
really
it
made
sense
to
change
the
direction
of
the
staff
direction
and
to
bring
forward
recommendations
and
so
I
think.
C

B

A
K
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I,
wanted
me
just
to
remind
my
colleagues
of
where
we
are
at
in
the
budget
process.
I
want
to
remind
you
that
when
we
return
from
our
ward
Work
Week,
which
is
July
1st
through
the
8th,
we
will
immediately
dive
into
the
proposed
2020
budget
revision
process.
This
part
to
it
begins
with
the
first
budget
committee
that
starts
with
addictive
yeah.
B
K
I
just
wanted
to
remind
my
colleagues
that
when
we
returned
from
our
word
workweek,
we
will
immediately
dive
into
the
proposed
2020
budget
revision
process.
It
begins
with
a
first
budget
committee
meeting
that
starts
at
10:00
a.m.
on
July
9th.
At
that
time
we
will
be
receiving
a
proposal
to
amend
the
city's
2020
budget
from
the
mayor.
K
There
will
be
time
for
some
initial
discussion,
but
we
have
already
reserved
time
the
following
day:
July
10th
for
the
committee
to
get
a
more
in-depth
analysis
and
explanation
of
the
impact
of
the
mayor's
proposed
reductions
and
the
enterprise
funding
revisions
from
our
budget
team
led
by
a
director
micah
inter
mil
the
entire
process,
is
fairly
aggressive.
Given
the
city's
financial
forecast,
we
expect
to
complete
our
work
to
this
2020
amended
budget
with
a
final
vote
planned
for
the
meeting
of
the
full
City
Council
on
Friday
July
24th.
K
So
I
want
to
express
my
appreciation
to
the
mayor
to
all
of
my
colleagues
in
to
our
staff
for
their
hard
work,
to
bring
us
to
this
point
so
that
we
can
proactively
address
projected
budget
areas,
sharp
shortfalls
in
a
responsive
and
responsible
way.
That
will
help
us
ensure
the
city
continues
to
provide
these
critical
core
services
to
the
community.
K
E
E
E
E
Decisions
as
they
occur
in
real
time
and
and
have
the
ability
to
hold
joy
at
the
same
time
is
recognizing
that
we
still
have
much
work
to
go.
I
also
just
want
to
acknowledge
that
last
week
the
Supreme
Court
upheld
the
right
undocumented
immigrants
who
have
been
really
contributing
to
the
fabric
of
America.
Those
young
people,
known
as
doctor
recipients,
have
been
given
the
rights
to
to
remain
in
this
country
and
to
pursue
full
citizenship
and
and
I.
E
As
the
the
gay
rights
movement
or
the
movement
for
LGBTQ
I
a
liberation,
but
but
that
that
decision
from
the
Supreme
Court
would
not
have
been
made
possible
without
the
civil
rights
marches
of
the
60s
and
the
subsequent
civil
rights
bill.
That
was
passed
in
1964,
so
all
of
these
issues
are
intersectional.
E
They
all
work
together
to
move
us
towards
justice.
I
heard
somebody
say
the
other
day
that
we
are
literally
watching
and
feeling
the
arc
of
justice
bending
right
now,
and
it
is
a
historic
moment.
You
know
I
support
each
and
every
one
of
you
and
stepping
into
this
moment,
and
really
you
know,
pushing
and
fighting
for
systemic
change
in
our
culture
and
society,
but
that
systemic
change
has
to
incorporate
all
of
us.
We
have
to
hear
everyone's
voice.
We
cannot
allow
one
singular
voice
to
dictate
how
this
movement
moves
forward.
We
we
have
to
be.
E
A
Seeing
none
and
as
councilmember
Palmisano
noted,
we
do
have
our
ward
Work
Week,
which
is
Wednesday
through
Wednesday
July
1st
through
the
8th.
So
we
will
not
have
committee
meetings
during
that
time,
but
we'll
have
time
to
catch
up
with
our
constituents
and
emails
and
all
the
things
and
hopefully
have
some
time
for
rust
as
well
before
coming
back
to
dive
into
the
budget
and
all
of
the
other
important
issues
before
this
body.
So
with
no
further
business
to
come
before
us
and
without
objection,
I
will
declare
this
meeting
adjourned.
Thank
you
all.
So
much.
