B
Good
afternoon,
everyone,
my
name,
is
philippe
cunningham,
and
I
am
the
chair
of
this
committee-
welcome
to
the
regular
regularly
scheduled
meeting
of
the
public
health
and
safety
committee
for
september
24
2020
as
we
as
we
begin.
I
will
note
for
the
record
that
this
meeting
has
remote
participation
by
members
of
the
city,
council
and
city
staff
as
authorized
under
minnesota
statute,
section
13d
13d.021
due
to
the
declared
local
health
emergency.
At
this
time,
I
will
ask
the
clerk
to
call
the
role,
so
we
can
verify
a
quorum
for
this.
B
Let
the
record
reflect
that
we
have
a
quorum
and
can
conduct
the
business
of
this
committee.
Colleagues,
there
are
seven
items
on
today's
agenda
due
to
some
complications
today,
if
there's
no
objections,
we
will
move
with
item
number
seven
on
the
agenda,
which
is
the
transforming
community
safety
engagement
plan
outline
and
deliverables.
When
we
finish
with
this
discussion,
we
will
return
to
the
beginning
of
this
agenda.
B
E
Good
afternoon
share
cunningham,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
present
here
and
thank
you
to
the
committee
we're
here
today
to
provide
an
update
on
the
transforming
community
safety
efforts,
and
I
don't
oh
presentation's
there.
Great.
This
presentation
will
mostly
focus
on
the
engagement
plan
and
some
deliverable
outlines
we're
gonna
start
with
slide
one
if
we
could
go
to
the
next
slide,
please
so
we'll
start
with
some
grounding
in
context.
E
I'm
gonna
start
with
what
we've
done
to
date
and
then
what
contributions
have
gone
towards
this
effort
up
to
this
point.
So
next
slide,
please.
E
So
community
safety
approaches
have
been
taking
place
in
the
city
of
minneapolis
in
a
variety
of
ways,
so
additional
community
safety
approaches
that
we've
taken
up
to
to
this
point
include
policy,
oriented
actions,
staff
directions,
resolutions,
ordinance
changes,
investments,
other
council
or
mayoral
action
and
programmatic
initiatives
across
the
enterprise.
So
we're
not
starting
from
scratch
with
thinking
about
more
broad
strategies
of
public
safety.
Next
slide,
please,
community
safety
approaches
have
been,
as
I
said,
going
on
for
a
while.
E
Work
group,
the
conduct
on
license
permanence
premise,
ordinance
changes,
staff
directions,
calling
for
an
mpd
staffing
study
and
our
problem
nature
code
study.
So
again,
this
is
just
really
to
reiterate
that
this
is
not
new.
On
the
policy
front,
our
city
has
been
thinking
about
changes
to
public
safety
and
community
safety
for
some
time.
Next
slide,
please,
in
addition
to
the
policy
work
that
we've
already
talked
about.
E
There
have
also
been
programmatic
initiatives
that
have
taken
place
throughout
the
enterprise
and
certainly
in
the
office
of
violence
prevention
related
to
broadening
our
scope
on
public
safety.
Things
like
our
blueprint,
approved
institute,
which
focuses
on
capacity
building
our
pop-up
parks,
which
are
a
partnership
with
parks
and
rec
to
provide
mobile
parks
to
areas
with
high
rates
of
violence.
Our
group
violence
intervention,
which
I
know
we've
talked
about
at
length
here,
but
is
a
a
project.
E
E
Our
hospital-based
work
known
as
next
step,
inspiring
youth,
which
is
a
youth
mentorship
program,
and
that
offers
case
management
for
young
people
that
are
on
a
trajectory
towards
the
juvenile
justice
system,
potentially
the
work
of
our
juvenile
supervision
center,
which
is
housed
in
our
city
hall,
and
allows
us
to
not
over
criminalize
young
people
and
to
provide
them
with
resources
when
they've
committed
low-level
offenses
our
violence
prevention
fund,
which
is
in
the
office
of
violence
prevention,
which
provides
grassroots
organizations
with
funding
to
do
their
work
and
to
reimagine
some
of
their
work
to
be
in
line
with
violence
prevention.
E
We've
done
domestic
violence
outreach
for
a
number
of
years
through
our
city
attorney's
office,
even
in
animal
control
and
domestic
excuse
me,
animal
care
and
domestic
and
control.
We
have
a
domestic
violence
program
which
I
think
goes
under
recognized
as
a
really
important
way
that
the
city
provides
a
service
to
victims
of
domestic
violence
who
are
worried
about
their
animals
being
victimized
if
they
leave
the
home
of
their
abuser.
E
Our
youth
coordinating
our
youth
coordinating
board
outreach
teams
that
many
of
us
know
and
love
who
wear,
yellow
t-shirts
and
then,
lastly,
journey
forward,
which
is
a
pre-employment
program
out
of
our
employment
and
training
division
that
really
focuses
on
high-risk
individuals
or
those
who
maybe
have
had
encounters
with
the
criminal
justice
system
and
helping
them
reattach
to
meaningful
work
opportunities.
And
so
this
is
just
a
highlighted
list.
E
There
are
countless
other
ways
that
our
city
is
programmatically,
thinking
about
violence,
prevention
and
alternatives
to
a
pure
law
enforcement
strategy
around
the
issue
of
public
safety.
So
you
can,
as
you
can
see
from
this
slide,
there's
a
lot
of
work.
That's
happening
across
the
enterprise
programmatically
next
slide,
please.
E
So
we've
done
a
number
of
community
engagement
outlets
that
have
included
questions
around
public
safety.
E
Those
include
the
minneapolis
2040
comprehensive
plan,
the
strategic
and
racial
equity
action
plan,
the
violence
prevention
steering
committee,
our
promise
zone,
our
police,
civilian
oversight,
commission
and
a
number
of
other
entities
within
the
city
that
have
focused
specifically
on
working
to
address
and
ask
questions
around
public
safety
of
community
members
and
trying
to
build
on
the
desire
of
those
community
members
to
reimagine
and
re-allocate
our
focus
around
public
safety.
E
Next
slide,
please,
and
while
all
of
the
things
we've
talked
about,
have
been
going
on,
as
we've
said,
dating
back
as
far
as
2006,
we
know
that
there's
still
a
lot
of
work
that
needs
to
be
done
and
that
there's
considerable
room
for
additional
growth.
The
transforming
community
safety
resolution
calls
for
additional
engagement
to
help,
develop
and
present
strategies
for
building
this
new
model
for
cultivating
community
safety.
So
that
is
exactly
why
we're
here.
E
It's
important
that,
as
we
think
about
this
in
an
even
more
broad-based
way,
that
we
are
working
with
our
constituents
and
residents
and
stakeholders
across
the
city
of
minneapolis
to
get
their
input
around.
What
they'd
like
to
see
from
the
city
on
public
safety
next
slide,
please
some
existing
infrastructure
that
we've
already
been
able
to
build
out
as
we've
been
charged
with
some
of
this
work
is
the
future
of
community
safety
work
group
that
came
out
of
that
resolution.
E
And
so
we
know
that
that
work
will
feed
into
this
body
of
work
and
then
the
future
of
community
safety
subcommittees
that
will
be
that
are
already
operationalized
and
starting
to
meet
and
will
continue
to
help
feed
into
the
conversation
planning
and
recommendations
for
this
body
of
work
next
slide.
Please.
E
So
engagement,
the
principles
and
areas
of
focus
outcomes
and
challenges,
we're
really
going
to
focus
in
the
next
segment
on
some
of
the
process
pieces,
as
we
think
about
this
work.
Moving
forward
next
slide,
please.
E
So
we
really
want
to
anchor
our
approach
in
accessibility,
meaningful
and
include
and
inclusivity
so
meaningful
engagement
and
inclusivity.
So
our
engagement
opportunities
will
be
varied
and
designed
to
be
accessible
and
meet
people
where
they
are.
We
want
the
experiences
to
be
meaningful.
The
community
feels
that
the
dialogues
have
to
be
meaningful
and
relevant
and
that
they
inform
action
and
that
their
contributions
are
reflected
in
the
recommendations
for
a
new
system
of
public
safety.
E
It's
also
really
important
that
they're,
inclusive
engagement
opportunities
will
need
to
reach
the
full
diversity
of
our
city
center,
the
voices
of
bipod
communities
and
immigrant
communities,
victims
of
harm
and
others
who
have
been
historically
marginalized
or
underserved
by
present
systems
next
slide.
Please,
and
our
engagement
will
seek
input
on
a
couple
of
areas,
primarily
we'll
be
looking
at
alternatives
to
policing
and
police
response
and,
like
I
said,
some
of
that
work
has
already
started
through
our
911
alternatives.
E
Work
group
we'll
also
be
looking
at
public
health,
oriented
violence,
prevention
strategies
and
well,
I
don't
necessarily
think
it's
secondary.
We
know
that
the
law,
enforcement
reform
and
changes
to
protocols
and
practices
is
work
that
our
mayor's
office
has
already
been
doing.
They
will
continue
to
lead
as
a
part
of
this
process
on
some
of
the
engagement
efforts
and
changes
to
the
police
department.
E
In
addition,
the
minnesota
department
of
human
rights
also
plans
engagement
for
their
patterns
and
practices
of
racial
discrimination
lawsuits
to
inform
changes
to
existing
law
enforcement
systems.
So
all
of
these
things
will
be
looked
at
and
core
functions
of
the
work
group
as
we
move
forward
and
think
about
questions
and
ways
to
engage
the
community
on
these
subjects.
E
E
This
will
help
provide
some
structure
to
help
ensure
that
any
products
that
we
create
are
within
the
scope
of
the
city
council
and
its
responsibilities,
so
we're
looking
at
some
immediate
policy
change
and
investments
and
partnerships
that
could
center
a
public
health
approach
to
community
safety
and
support
alternatives
to
policing
we're
also
looking
at
research
and
engagement
to
inform
the
potential
creation
of
a
new
city
department
of
community
safety
with
a
holistic
approach
to
community
safety,
including
a
review
and
analysis
of
relevant
existing
models
and
programs
and
practices
that
could
be
applied.
E
While
the
work
of
creating
a
new
public
safety
system
is
in
progress,
our
last
set
of
recommendations
will
be
for
additional
community
safety
strategies
that
build
upon
existing
work
across
our
city,
enterprise
that
approach
public
safety
through
a
public
health
lens
next
slide.
Please
we
anticipate
that
there
will
be
some
natural
challenges,
one
of
them
being
the
pandemic
that
we're
unfortunately
experiencing
right
now.
E
We
know
that
it
will
limit
our
ability
to
do
engagement,
the
way
that
we
normally
think
about
it,
which
would
be
to
get
out
into
community,
have
meetings
in
person
be
able
to
commune
over
food
and
really
dig
into
some
of
these
important
subject
matters.
However,
we
do
feel
like
using
virtual
settings
like
the
one
we're
using
right
now.
E
People
have
become
accustomed
to
and
will
certainly
be
a
methodology
of
engagement
until
it
is
safe
to
do
in
pub
in
person
engagements
or
until
we
conclude
the
process.
We
also
imagine
that
pace
and
expectations
may
also
be
a
challenge.
You
know
the
situation
we
find
ourselves
in
does
trigger
some
people
for
many.
E
A
desire
to
address
recent
and
acute
trauma
as
long
along
with
historical
trauma
may
drive
a
sense
of
urgency
to
act
right
now
and
to
get
involved,
and
we
know
that
many
community
members
want
to
have
an
opportunity
to
involve
themselves
to
give
input
and
that's
why
we're
trying
to
get
the
process
started.
But
we
also
recognize
that,
for
others,
those
same
traumas
may
drive
a
lack
of
desire
or
a
lack
of
readiness
to
engage
with
systems
that
they
feel
have
played
a
role
in
creating
and
perpetuating
those
traumas.
E
E
So
for
phase
one
we'll
be
focused
on
information
gathering,
and
this
should
start
in
october.
The
purpose
of
this
will
be
to
provide
a
baseline,
contextual,
baseline
of
contextual
information
on
existing
efforts.
Statutory
requirements
and
best
practices
will
conduct
initial
engagement
to
capture
input
on
the
current
models
of
community
safety
opportunities
for
changes
and
ideas
to
be
included
in
a
new
model.
E
Additional
strategies
would
be
to
promote
accessibility,
as
suggested
by
engagement
experts,
so
we'll
be
working
with
people
on
engagement
across
the
enterprise
to
make
sure
that
we're
creating
modalities
that
work
well
for
the
broadest
base
of
people
in
our
city
as
possible.
The
deliverables
from
this
phase
will
be
a
preliminary
synthesis
of
the
initial
themes
for
engagement
to
be
reported
back
to
council
early
in
december.
We
imagine
that
we'll
be
able
to
draft
visions
and
goal
statements
for
consideration
and
an
adoption
by
our
policy
makers.
E
Next
slide,
please
phase
two
will
be
reflection
and
the
drafting
of
some
recommendations.
The
purpose
is
re-engaging
community
to
confirm
that
phase.
One
and
our
preliminary
synthesis
of
those
initial
themes,
vision
and
goals
accurately
reflect
the
input
that
we
received
and
we'll
also
dive
deeper
on
specific
ideas,
action
steps
for
this
new
model.
The
strategy
will
be
community
forums
likely
virtual,
including
multi-ward
sessions
and
community
specific
sessions
and
again
we'll
be
focused
on
working
with
people
who
have
specialty
and
knowledge
on
engagement,
expertise
so
that
we
can
reach
the
broadest
base
of
people
possible.
E
E
Our
strategies
will
be
community
forums
again
multi-ward
sessions,
community
specific
sessions,
we'll
do
web-based
opportunities
for
review
and
comment,
as
well
as
some
additional
strategies
as
requested
or
encouraged
by
engagement
experts.
The
deliberate
the
deliverables
will
be
a
compilation
of
feedback
and
input
from
community
vision
on
the
vision,
goals
and
action.
Steps
next
slide,
please
and
phase
four
will
be
june
and
july
of
2021.
E
The
purpose
again
will
be
refining
and
finalizing
recommendations.
The
strategy
will
be
to
review
and
incorporate
community
feedback
on
draft
recommendations
collected
during
phase
three
and
the
deliverables.
Deliverables
will
be
a
final
report
to
council
on
the
strategy
for
building
a
new
model
of
cultivating
community
safety
next
slide.
Please.
E
We
do
know
that
there
will
be
some
resource
needs
around
the
rollout
and
making
sure
that
these
phases
are
actually
are
able
to
be
actualized.
E
We
believe
that
we'll
need
support
around
research
and
evaluation
things
like
survey,
design,
question
design,
engagement,
activity,
design,
synthesis
analysis
and
writing
all
of
those
things
need
to
be
done
in
a
way
that
is
rooted
in
you
know
the
way
that
research
and
evaluation
experts
can
develop
them.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
using
a
high
quality
approach
and
so
we'll
need
research
and
evaluation
experts
on
this
particular
part
of
the
project.
We'll
also
need
support
around
project
management.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
stay
on
our
timeline.
E
As
it's
been
listed
in
the
project.
We
want
to
monitor
our
reporting
and
our
progress.
We
want
to
continue
to
stay
in
a
planning
sequence
and
that
we're
actually
tracking
in
the
direction
towards
outcomes
that
lead
us
to
a
coordinated
communication
with
community,
as
well
as
with
our
policy
makers.
E
E
Subject
matter
that
we'll
want
content,
expertise
on,
and
so
we
know
that
we
have
some
internal
city
experts
on
some
of
this
subject
matter,
we'll
also
be
looking
to
external
local
experts
and
national
experts.
As
mentioned
in
the
slide
before
there
have
already
been
some
tables
of
local
experts
and
national
experts
that
are
being
included
in
this
process,
so
that
we
will
have
that
expertise
at
the
table.
But
we
will
need
to
work
on
resourcing
them
to
make
sure
that
they're
able
to
participate
through
the
duration
of
the
process.
E
B
Thank
you
so
much
director.
I
would
like
to
first
open
it
up
to
council
president
bender,
followed
by
kano
and
then
gordon.
C
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
I
don't
serve
on
the
committee,
but
I'm
I'm
grateful
to
be
here
today
and
I
really
just
wanted
to
thank
all
of
the
staff
from
across
the
enterprise
that
really
contributed
to
this
recommendation
for
a
timeline
for
the
reimagining
public
safety,
community
engagement
and
decision
making
process
ahead-
and
you
know
I
know
we
all.
C
Heard
in
the
last
presentation
from
staff
some,
you
know
feedback
about
how
about
the
timeline
that
we
had
initially
asked
for
from
staff
to
bring
a
presentation
related
to
community
engagement
and
our
decision
making
timeline.
C
I
know
that
I
was
hopeful
that
we
could
get
the
work
started
to
engage
our
community
more
quickly
than
we
have,
and
I
have
spent
the
last
few
weeks
talking
with
you,
mr
chair
and
the
members
of
this
committee
with
mayor
frye
and
his
staff,
with
the
different
department
heads
that
were
named
in
our
resolution
back
on
june
12th
and
really
have
come
to
understand
that
the
way
that
we
need
to
staff
this
work
still
isn't
quite
there,
and
so
we've
asked
many
staff
across
the
enterprise
to
dedicate
a
small
part
of
their
time
to
this
effort,
and
it
clearly
needs
its
own
dedicated
staff,
more
clarity
about
the
different
roles
and
responsibilities.
C
I
want
you
to
know,
and
my
colleagues
on
the
committee,
as
well
as
staff,
that
I'm
continuing
conversations
with
our
city
coordinator,
mark
ruff,
our
health
commissioner,
our
commissioner
of
health,
who
I
want
to
call
director,
gretchen
musicant.
You
know
our
budget
office,
the
mayor
and
and
you
my
colleagues
about
how
we
can
staff
and
resource
this
initiative
adequately
so
that
our
staff
are
supported.
C
Well,
so
again,
thank
you
to
the
staff
who
who
put
this
together
on
top
of
any
other
things
that
they
are
already
doing,
and
I'm
I'm
happy
to
be
here
for
this
part
of
the
meeting.
If
anyone
has
any
questions
about
how
we
got
here.
B
Thank
you,
madam
president,
thank
you
for
being
here
and
thank
you
for
all
your
hard
work.
I
will
just
briefly
add
how
grateful
that
I
am
to
you
director,
cotton
for
your
leadership
in
getting
this
pulling
this
together.
This
has
been
a
lot
of
work
and
a
heavy
lift,
so
I'm
very
grateful
for
you
and
and
all
the
work
that
you've
done
to
organize
what
we
see
here
today
before
the
council
that
for
action
next
up,
we
have
councilmember
cano,
followed
by
councilmember.
B
F
That
okay,
so
thank
you
so
much
for
this
presentation,
director,
cotton.
F
Just
to
contextualize
about
four
months
ago,
nine
council
members
took
the
stage
at
powderhorn
park
and
talked
about
the
limitations
of
reform
in
redeeming
our
current
policing
systems,
and
then
we
made
a
commitment
to
begin
the
process
of
reimagining
our
current
policing
system
and
creating
a
new
transformative
model
that
could
cultivate
public
safety
and
we
committed
to
that
year-long
engagement
process
and
in
working
with
our
community
members,
as
well
as
discussed,
taking
immediate
action
steps
to
get
us
on
that
path.
I
feel
confident
that
we
are
on
that
path.
F
I
I
was
asked
recently
by
some
media
whether
I
regretted
making
those
statements
four
months
ago,
and
I
said
absolutely
not
in
retrospect.
However,
what
I
do
regret
is
not
having
a
clear
commitment
and
agreement
with
our
community
members
about
the
alternative
safety
models
that
we
would
have
to
immediately
operationalize
to
support
our
communities
and
so
for
all
the
cities
and
all
the
other
people.
Listening
to
this
conversation
today
and
in
future
days
as
this
is
taped
and
made
available
on
youtube,
I
I
do
encourage
everyone.
That's
watching!
F
Minneapolis
and
observing
how
we
handle
the
the
challenge
before
us
and
the
opportunity
as
well
to
do
to
do
good
for
our
community
and
to
make
a
long-lasting
change
that
will
live
through
generations.
F
I
advise
them
to
have
a
presentation
like
this
years
before
they
decide
to
end
their
policing
system,
and
so
the
the
only
real
regret
I
have
is
is
not
doubling
down
on
efforts
like
this,
with
departments
like
yours
or
divisions
like
yours,
sasha,
director,
cotton
to
to
get
these
systems
up
and
running
before
the
big
changes
were
committed
to
so
so
I'm
I'm
grateful
that
this
work
continues
to
move
forward,
and
I
I
appreciate
the
lessons
learned
from
the
last
four
months
and
I
I
only
wish
the
best
for
our
city
to
to
figure
this
out,
because
so
many
people
are
have
been
suffering
in
the
past
and
are
certainly
living
through
very
challenging
times
now.
F
So
my
question
is
twofold:
one
is
related
to
the
the
brilliant
cultural
connections
and
relationships
that
exist
within
the
neighborhood
and
community
relations
department,
which
is
a
department
that
again
is
a
legacy
department
for
minneapolis.
F
Not
a
lot
of
cities
have
a
department
like
that,
through
the
funded
mechanisms
that
the
city
of
minneapolis
has,
and
I
I
have
high
respect
for
people
like
christine
mcdonald,
who
is
completely
connected
to
and
plugged
into
every
american,
indian
and
indigenous
group
and
organization
in
the
twin
cities
area,
as
well
as
mariano
espinosa
who's,
the
latino
liaison
and
has
been
able
to
feed
hundreds
and
hundreds
and
hundreds
of
latino
families
every
friday
at
powderhorn
park,
through
a
partnership
with
a
few
food
justice
organizations.
F
And
so
I'm
curious
about
like
what
the
relationship
will
be
of
this
work
between
your
office
and
ncr,
primarily
because
I
don't
want
that
those
relationships
and
that
social
capital
and
those
years
worth
of
investment,
both
in
money
and
staff
time,
as
well
as
community
trust
that
has
been
built
there
to
to
sort
of
be
chucked
to
the
side
and
be
like
well.
You
know,
they're,
not
part
of
this
new
sexy
thing
so
like
who
cares.
F
So
I
would
love
to
hear
more
about
the
nuance
of
the
relationship
of
how
we
carry
this
work
forward
as
an
enterprise
leaning
on
reputable
departments
like
ncr
and
their
cultural
staff,
which
is
very
diverse,
you
know
they
have
east
african
folks
on
their
staff.
Latino
folks,
indigenous
folks,
african-american,
folks
and-
and
I
wouldn't
want
to
you-
know,
see
them
not
leveraged
or
integrated
in
an
authentic
and
meaningful
way
as
we
develop
this.
This
work
moving
forward.
E
Yes,
thank
you
for
the
question
council,
member
cano
and
chair
cunningham.
We
are
certainly
it
would
be
nothing.
E
So
we
are
working
very
intentionally
on
trying
to
get
ncr
staff
on
this
project.
That
being
said
across
the
enterprise,
everybody
has
work
that
they're
focused
on
and
it's
really
difficult
to
commit
staff.
And
so
I
know
that
our
department
head
is
talking
with
the
coordinator's
office
and
ncr
leadership
about
what
time
they're
able
to
commit
to
the
project.
But
it
is
certainly
top
of
mind
for
us
to
have
them
participating
in
whatever
way
they
possibly
can.
F
Thank
you,
director
and-
and
I
did
speak
to
director
rubidour
about
this
a
few
weeks
ago,
and
and
we
had
a
brief
conversation
about
how
we
as
a
city
are
probably
going
to
have
to
decide
which
which
pieces
of
work
is
a
priority
for
us
and
and
which
can
be
deferred
by
a
year
or
two
pending
the
coronavirus
economic
deficit,
as
well
as
the
the
priority
to
to
really
solve
this
safety
issue.
F
So
I
am
very
open
to
hearing
from
city
directors
about
the
type
of
work
that
we
should
defer
or
put
on
the
back
burner
for
a
while.
So
we
can
really
deliver
strongly
on
this
front
and
and
connect
this
topic
of
public
safety
to
what
council
member
goodman
had
mentioned
earlier
regarding
economic
development
and
sustainability
and
resilience
for
our
city.
F
So
I
think
it
would
be
really
smart
for
us
to
have
a
real,
clear
conversation
about
the
things
we
can
put
aside
for
a
year
or
two
to
support
this
work
and
ensure
that
our
best
talent
and
already
built
up
internal
assets
can
be
deployed
into
this
line
of
work.
My
next
question
is
related
to
hennepin
county.
So
I
know
that
we
as
a
city
are
really
proud
of
them.
B
I'm
sorry
councilmember.
Just
to
that
first
question:
it
seemed
that
council
president
bender
had
a
specific
component
of
that
to
be
able
to
add
to
that
answer
from
director
cotton.
So
president
bender,
do
you
want
to
speak
to
that
cause?
I
know
you've
been
having
a
lot
of
conversations
and
then
councilmember
connor
will
bounce
back
to
you.
B
I
just
want
to
remind
folks
that
director
cotton
has
to
get
out
of
here
by
220
due
to
a
scheduling
conflict,
so
so
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
addressing
that
so
council
president
bender,
then
we'll
hop
back
to
you
councilmember
connell.
Thank
you.
C
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
and
thank
you
council
marcano
for
raising
that
I
I
had
a
great
conversation
with
director
rubidour
yesterday
and
have
been
talking
with
mark
ruff,
who
ultimately
directs
that
department
of
the
coordinator's
office
which
ncr
resides
in
so
we
have,
I
think,
a
clear
understanding
and
recognition
from
all
of
the
department
heads
that
this
work
needs
more
resources.
Director
rubidor
had
been
planning
to
put
staff
time
to
this
had
started
to
figure
out
exactly
what
that
looked
like
and
what
other
things
may
need
to
be
delayed.
C
I
do
think
in
the
next
week
we
need
to
get
to
a
more
clear
structure
of
staff
and
a
more
you
know
he
we
need
to
hear
as
policy
makers
if
there
are
particular
budget
things
that
need
to
change.
I've
had
many
good
conversations
with
the
mayor's
office
as
well,
so
I
think
we're
almost
there.
I
just
wanted
you
to
know.
I'm
really
glad
you
raised
the
question
about
ncr
and
they
are.
They
will
need
to
be
fully
part
of
this.
I
think
they
recognize
it.
B
Thank
you
cousin
president
bender,
and
thank
you
councilmember
connor,
for
the
great
points
you
brought
up
if
you'd
like
to
continue
with
your
second
question,.
F
Yes,
thank
you,
mr
chair.
So
director
cotton,
you
know
there's
this
oftentimes.
This
notion
that
the
city
of
minneapolis
should
go
at
it
alone
and
it's
our
problem
and
we
need
to
figure
out
how
to
get
ourselves
out
of
the
hole.
F
But
again
I
don't
see
it
as
a
problem
more
than
an
opportunity
to
really
do
do
good
by
our
community
so
curious
about
your
thinking
regarding
leveraging
hennepin
county
resources,
I'm
less
familiar
with
how
the
state
would
fit
into
this
and
and
then,
of
course,
we
have
that
big
process
that
we're
in
with
with
the
commissioner
lucero's
department,
but
taking
it
back,
is
there?
F
Is
there
a
room
or
space
for
us
to
really
tap
into
a
hennepin
county
resources,
programs,
staff
or
initiatives
that
can
both
relieve
some
of
the
pressure
that
we're
feeling
around
this
conversation
because
of
the
the
various
scenarios
that
our
communities
are
facing
and
and
more
directly?
Is
there
a
role
for
them
in
this
process
as
we
engage
our
city
in
this
conversation.
E
E
We
have
invited
both
county
staff
and
state
staff,
as
well
as
folks
from
metro
transit,
police
department
and
others
to
participate
at
those
levels,
because
obviously
minneapolis
sits
within
hennepin
county,
and
it's
important
that
we're
looking
across
jurisdictionally
at
this
issue
and
what
resources
we
can
bring
to
bear
outside
of
just
our
city
would
be
certainly
open.
If
there
are
suggestions
from
the
council
or
others
on
ways
that
we
could
pull
the
county
in
in
different
ways
than
we
already
have.
F
B
Thank
you,
councilmember
cano
great
questions.
Next
up
we
have
council
member
gordon,
followed
by
councilmember
fletcher.
H
Thank
you
so
much
chair,
cunningham
and
also
thanks
for
this
plan
on
this
report.
This
is
really
exciting
to
see
come
forward.
I
would
be
happy
to
move
it
for
approval
and
I
think
the
action
that
was
proposed
is
improving
the
community
safety
and
engagement
plan,
and,
if
you
allow
me
I'll
move
that,
I
think
this
is
a
great
start
and
it's
a
really
big
important
step
that
we
should
take.
H
I
will
note
that
I
think
there's
more
work
that
has
to
be
done
along
with
this,
and
my
understanding
is
some
of
that
is
being
developed.
This
should
include
a
larger
kind
of
reconciliation
process
and
and
restorative
or
transformative
justice
process.
That's
also
called
out,
and
my
understanding
is
that
staff
and
some
of
my
colleagues,
including
the
vice
president
of
the
council,
are
working
on
this.
So
I
think
that's
excellent.
H
I
also
feel
a
little
bit
like
this
is
incomplete
here,
like
we
could
use
a
staff
direction
with
really
good
clarity,
but
hearing
from
the
council
president,
I
understand
that
might
be
something
that
could
even
come
later
and
I'm
not
prepared
to
make
a
staff
direction
right
now.
I'm
I'm
prepared
to
say
that
my
intent
and
encouragement
would
be
for
staff
to
rally
around
this
and
implement
it
well
and
also
for
us
to
look
carefully
at
the
budget,
because
I
think,
what's
obvious,
especially
when
you
look
at
all
the
resources
needed
is.
H
H
We're
going
to
have
to
look
carefully
at
what
kind
of
amendments
might
need
to
be
made
so
that
we
can
do
that,
because
I
think
it
would
probably
yield
us
a
much
better
plan
and
also
allow
us
to
keep
moving
forward
with
all
the
other
great
work
that
we
need
to
do
as
a
city
if
we
had
some
help
on
a
contract
basis
from
the
outside.
H
B
So
we
council,
member
gordon,
has
made
a
motion
to
approve
an
engagement
plan
outline
and
deliverables
related
to
transforming
community
safety.
I
will
open
it
up
for
discussion
related
to
the
the
motion,
I'm
assuming
that
the
folks
in
incom
q
are
going
to
speak
to
that
as
well.
I
do
just
want
to
share
that
within
my
role.
B
I
I
am
echoing
council
president
bender's
request
and
call
for
more
broadly
for
city,
department,
leaders
and
staff
to
really
rally
around
fulfilling
the
staffing
and
resource
needs
related
to
this
work,
and
you
know
we
really
want
to
follow
the
lead
and
leadership
of
city
staff,
and
there
really
is
urgency
for
us
to
move
on
this
work.
So
I
look
forward
to
it.
B
I
also
do
want
to
name
that
if
this
is
not
addressed
by
the
end
of
next
week
that
there
will,
I
will
be
bringing
forward
a
staff
direction
with
more
clarity,
but
I
would
rather
us
create
space
for
the
work
for
us
to
be
able
to
figure
out
the
best
structure
together
so
there,
but
there
is
urgency
we
got
so
we
got
to
keep
it
moving
with
that.
Next
up
we
have
council
member
fletcher
and
then
followed
by
council
member
paul
palmisano.
I
I
I
think
we
are
going
to
be
sort
of
up
against
the
challenges
of
this
work,
which
is
that
it's
it's
coming
later
than
people
had
hoped
because
it
kind
of
got
stuck
over
the
summer
and-
and
I
think
we
need
to
just
kind
of
acknowledge
that
that
right
now,
one
of
the
ways
that
people
are
coming
to
it
and
in
addition
to
the
you
know,
the
the
experiences
of
trauma
and
anxiety
and-
and
you
know,
sort
of
strong
feelings
that
everybody
has
around.
I
This
is
a
sense
of
impatience,
and
so
I
think
that
until
we
get
this
process
up
and
running
in
a
way
that
people
feel
like
they
can
see
and
touch
and
trust,
there's
going
to
be
a
little
bit
of
that
anxiety
as
a
part
of
the
way
people
respond
to
the
presentation,
but
I
will
just
say
that
the
content
here
is
what
we
were
looking
for.
You
are
on
the
right
track
and
I
want
to
just
really
give
that
feedback
that
this
is.
This
is
a
really
positive
step
forward.
I
This
is
something
I'm
happy
to
support
and
that
I
really
hope-
and
I
just
want
to
echo
what
all
of
my
colleagues
have
said,
which
is
we
need
to
figure
out
how
to
support
this.
We
are
looking
for
city
staff
across
the
enterprise
to
step
up
and
support
this
in
all
of
the
ways
that
they
can
to
like.
I
want
you
to
hear
from
as
many
council
members
as
possible
that
this
is
a
huge
priority
of
the
enterprise
right
now
like
that.
I
This
is
what
the
city
is
doing
is
engaging
the
public
on
this
really
important
question.
That
is
kind
of
the
only
thing
people
are
talking
about.
So
we
really
need
to
make
sure
that
this
is
a
huge,
huge
focus
and
priority
and
and
a
place
that
everybody's
putting
their
energy,
where
it's
called
for.
We're.
I
Also
really
counting
on
you
to
come
to
us
quickly
when
you
find
that
you
need
clarity,
when
you
find
that
you
need
resources,
make
sure
that
if
there
are
places
that
you're
getting
bogged
down,
because
you
need
feedback
from
us
that
that
we
know
that
and
can
give
you
that
feedback
in
a
really
timely
way,
so
that
we
can
keep
things
moving
along,
because
I
know
that
there
are
challenges
in
moving
something
this
big
in
this
ambitious
forward.
I
But
I
really
just
want
to
recognize
what
a
positive
step
forward
this
is
and
what
a
real
sense
of
alignment,
I'm
feeling
between
what
we
asked
for
in
june
and
what
we're
seeing
in
this
presentation.
So
thank
you,
and
I
would
just
ask:
are
there
things
that
you
can
see
right
away
that
we
can
do
to
support
this
effort?.
E
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
and
vice
chair
fletcher,
appreciate
the
comments
and
questions.
First,
I
want
to
just
state
that,
while
this
presentation
is
being
given
by
me,
countless
hours
of
staff
time
from
both
the
office
of
violence
prevention,
the
coordinator's
office,
the
mayor's
office
staff,
has
gone
into
sort
of
developing
the
structure
and
giving
thoughts
to
how
we
can
move
this
work
forward.
So
I
want
to
acknowledge
all
of
the
hard
work
that
has
gone
in
from
across
the
enterprise
to
getting
us
to
where
we
are.
E
I
think,
as
far
as
thinking
about
next
steps
and
what
we're
going
to
need,
there's
definitely
need
for
the
things
that
we
listed
in
that
resource
and
I,
whether
we
find
them
throughout
the
enterprise
or
in
outside
ways.
Although
I'll
be
candid
and
saying,
I
think
we
can
be
more
expeditious
by
finding
them
internally
right
now,
because
of
all
the
layers
of
bureaucracy,
we
have
to
go
through
to
move
a
contract
with
an
outside
entity.
E
It
is
the
staff
time
that
is
a
huge
burden.
We
know
that
city
staff
have
responsibilities
and
are
doing
work
feverishly
across
the
enterprise
as
they're
assigned
and
so
freeing
up
some
time
for
staff
to
focus
on.
This
is
going
to
be
a
crucial
part
of
getting
the
work
done.
B
Great,
thank
you
so
much
and
then
we
will
wrap
up
with
it
looks
like
the
last
person
up
is
councilmember
palmisano.
J
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
Miss
cotton.
Thank
you
for
this
presentation,
I'm
curious
and
apologize.
If,
if
you
gave
it
some
mention,
as
you
were
going
through
the
slides,
but
it
wasn't
in
your
slides
specifically,
how
will
existing?
How
will
our
existing
mpd
be
engaged
or
will
they
be
engaged
in
transforming
this
public
safety
plan?
I
I
want
to
be
very
sensitive
to
people
who
wouldn't
want
them
engaged,
but
also
balance
that
with
the
fact
that
they
have
a
lot
of
experience
to
offer.
J
So
if,
if
there
isn't
a
plan
to
work
with
or
engage
mpd
in
as
we
move
forward,
have
you
gotten
any
input
from
chief
eridando
on
this
plan,
or
would
you.
E
Yes,
thank
you
for
the
question,
sir
chair
and
council
person
pamosano.
E
We
certainly
intend
to
include
law
enforcement
in
the
conversation,
particularly
as
we
think
about
policy
and
reform
changes
to
the
existing
mpd,
and
so
in
the
work
group
structure.
There
is
a
work
group
specifically
focused
on
police
reform.
As
we
know
up
until
this
point,
the
mayor's
office
has
led
a
lot
of
that
work.
E
And
so
there
is
no
intention
here
to
exclude
conversations
about
police
reform
and
policy
change
or
procedure
change.
We
know
that
per
minnesota
state
statute.
We
have
to
have
a
police
response
at
a
bare
minimum
to
domestic
violence.
Calls
and
gun
violence
and
so
figuring
out.
What
all
of
that
looks
like
is
certainly
something
that
we
are
thinking
about
as
a
part
of
this
process,.
B
Great,
thank
you
so
much
to
my
colleagues
for
those
questions.
Great
discussion
and
points
brought
up.
Thank
you
again
to
director
cotton
to
echo
what
I
heard
from
my
colleague
vice
chair
fletcher.
This
really
feels
in
alignment
with
what
we
brought
forward
the
expectations
that
we
brought
forward
in
june.
So
thank
you
very,
very
much
for
for
bringing
this
forward
and
I
look
forward
to
the
next
steps
of
how
we,
as
a
city,
will
align
to
operationalize
tangibly
what
we've
talked
about
here
and
keep
things
on
track.
B
So
the
staffing
and
the
resource
needs.
We
as
an
entire
city
organization,
need
to
come
together
and
figure
out
how
we
are
going
to
build
that
infrastructure
to
councilmember
connell's
point.
There's
gonna
be
some
work
that
we
have
to
say
this
needs
to
wait.
We
have
to.
We
have
to
push
this
back
a
little
bit,
because
this
is
a
an
incredibly
pressing
urgent
need
for
our
city
to
be
able
to
create
lasting,
sustainable
peace
and
and
safety
in
our
city.
So
I'm
grateful
for
you
to
be
here
director,
cotton.
B
I
know
that
this
was
a
challenging
scheduling
conflict
for
you.
So
thank
you
for
your
flexibility
and
being
here
and
see
no
further
questions
or
comments.
The
motion
again
on
the
table
from
council
member
gordon,
is
approving
an
engagement
plan
outline
and
deliverables
related
to
transforming
community
safety
and
clerk.
Will
you
please
call
call
the
roll.
F
J
B
Great
that
carries
and
that
recommendation
will
be
referred
to
the
city
council
meeting
next
friday
for
final
action.
Thank
you
again
to
all
of
the
city
staff
for
their
hard
work
in
in
getting
this
work
up
and
rolling.
B
So
now,
colleagues,
we
will
be
moving
back
to
our
agenda.
We
have
a
public
hearing
and
five
consent
agenda
items.
We
will
first
start
with
the
public
hearing,
which
is
a
public
hearing
on
the
food
catering
ordinance.
We'll
now
begin
with
a
staff
presentation
which
I
believe
will
be
given
by.
I
think
we
said
ken
was
gonna,
be
doing
it,
my
apologies,
but
we
will
now
turn
it
over
to
the
city
staff
responsible
for
bringing
this
forward
before
council.
Thank
you,
oh
kevin.
My
apologies.
A
Good
afternoon
and
thank
you
chair
cunningham
and
council
members,
my
name
is
kevin
garperson
and
I'm
a
supervisor
with
the
minneapolis
health
department.
A
The
ordinance
change
I'm
talking
about
today
grew
out
of
minneapolis
businesses
looking
for
creative
ways
to
provide
food
for
their
employees,
tenants
and
guests
with
council
member
johnson's
support.
The
amendment
to
the
caterer
license
definition
will
provide
greater
opportunities
for
minneapolis
businesses.
The
minnesota
food
code
currently
does
not
allow
caterers
to
sell
meals
directly
to.
B
A
Thank
you.
This
change
to
the
caterer
definition
will
allow
caterers
to
sell
individual
meals
directly
to
employees,
tenants
and
guests,
because
the
city
has
delegation
agreements
with
both
minnesota
department
of
health
and
minnesota
department
of
agriculture.
We
were
required
to
go
through
a
review
and
approval
process
with
them
prior
to
bringing
our
proposed
changes
forward.
A
There
are
three
ordinances
ordinances
changes
in
front
of
you
and
I'm
going
to
talk
about
the
second
one,
which
is
mco
186.50
and
now,
as
I
mentioned,
this
ordinance
change
will
provide
opportunities
for
many
licensed
caterers.
Businesses
will
be
able
to
bring
licensed
caterers
to
sell
directly
to
their
employees,
tenants
and
guests
with
some
restrictions.
A
A
There
is
a
distinction
between
caterers
who
are
delegated
by
minnesota
department
of
health
and
minnesota
department
of
agriculture.
Now
I
will
go
back
to
to
talk
about
the
first
ordinance,
which
is
186.30
next
slide.
Please.
A
Texts
have
been
added
to
acknowledge
this
restriction
in
ordinance.
186.30
next
slide,
please
now
the
good
news
is
most
licensed.
Caterers
and
restaurants
with
catering
licenses
are
delegated
by
minnesota
department
of
health,
so
they
are
able
to
take
advantage
of
this
change
now.
This
very
last
slide
here
is
the
final
proposed
change
is
to
ordinance
188.10,
and
this
proposed
change
is
just
a
text
cleanup.
According
with
minnesota
department
of
agriculture
delegation
agreement
now
the
alignment
was
proposed
after
the
recent
assessment
of
the
city's
health
inspection
program.
A
Now
that
concludes
my
short
presentation.
Thank
you,
chair
cunningham,
council
members
and
viewers.
Thank
you
for
your
time
and
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
at
this
time.
B
Thank
you,
mr
chao
prosouth.
I
appreciate
you
very
much,
and
so
now
we
will
be
moving
to
the
public
hearing
related
to
this
item.
I
want
to
first
clarify
that
this
particular
public
hearing
is
related
to
the
amendments
being
brought
forward
to
the
food
catering
ordinance.
B
I
believe
that
there
was
a
misunderstanding
in
the
transition
from
the
public
safety
and
emergency
management
committee
to
now
this
public
health
and
safety
committee.
Our
public
hearings
are
connected
to
specific
legislative
items.
B
I
know
that
quite
a
few
few
folks
signed
up
to
speak
broad,
more
broadly
related
to
public
safety,
and
so
what
we
are
going
to
do
in
order
to
address
this,
this
disconnect
is
that
I
am
going
to
be
here
and
now
I
am
announcing
and
directing
the
city
clerk
to
to
give
notice
for
a
public
hearing
for
october,
8th
at
1
30
pm
related
to
policing
concerns.
B
It
is
important
for
us
to
give
public
notice
to
ensure
that
every
resident
who
is
interested
in
speaking
to
the
item,
I'm
sorry,
is
that
a
public
hearing,
please
it's
a
public
comment.
My
apologies.
We
want
to
give
public
notice
to
having
opportunities
to
speak
before
the
council,
so
that
folks,
anybody
who's
interested
in
and
participating
in,
that
public
comment
period
has
the
ability
to
do
so
and
that
aligns
by
having
the
public
notice
of
a
public
hearing
or
public
comment
period.
B
It
aligns
with
the
council's
adopted
rules
related
to
public
hearings
and
comment
periods.
So
with
that
being
stated,
I
do
also
want
to
kick
it
over
to
our
city
clerk
casey
carl,
so
that
he
can
give
any
additional
comments
related
to
today's
public
hearing
and
the
procedures
related
to
public
hearings
and
public
comments.
L
Thank
you,
mr
chair
I'll,
just
add
briefly
to
what
you've
said
that
the
minnesota
open
meeting
law
requires
that
notices
be
given
at
least
three
days
before
a
meeting.
We
always
include
those
notices
with
the
published
agenda.
We
also
publish
those
separately
on
limbs,
they're
published
in
finance
and
commerce
for
broader
public
awareness
and
access.
As
you
noted,
the
reason
the
law
is
written.
L
That
way
is
so
that
all
interested
parties
have
the
opportunity
to
participate
in
matters
in
front
of
the
city
council
hearings
which
are
required
under
certain
state
laws
or
charter
provisions
or
discretionary
public
comment
periods,
we're
at
the
discretion
of
the
council
and
the
committees.
We
provide
those
notices
so
that
there
is
fair,
accessible
and
transparent
process
open
to
everyone.
The
registration
form
that
allows
folks
to
sign
up
does
allow
an
open
field
for
people
to
identify
what
on
the
agenda
they're
speaking
about,
and
so
that
is,
I
believe,
what
led
to
the
confusion.
L
A
quote
public
comment,
open
public
comment
forum,
and
so
the
the
confusion
is
probably
based
on
the
fact
that,
as
you
noted,
there's
a
difference
between
those
committees,
but
the
public
safety
and
emergency
management
committee's
last
meeting
was
march
18th
and
in
six
months
we
have
not
had
any
of
those
public
comment
periods
so
appreciate
the
direction
and
happy
to
schedule
a
public
comment
period
on
the
matter
of
policing,
as
you
indicated
for
the
next
committee
meeting,
which
would
be
on
thursday
october
8th
at
1,
30
pm.
B
Thank
you,
mr
clerk.
I
appreciate
it
so
to
clarify,
as
I
open
this
public
hearing,
if
you
are
here
today
to
speak
space
outside
of
something
related
to
the
ordinance
related
to
food
catering,
then
we
ask
for
you
and
you're
interested
in
speaking
to
policing
issues
then
in
public
safety.
We
ask
for
you
to
please
sign
up
when
it
is
publicly
noticed
for
that
october.
8Th
meeting
that
is
so
again.
This
public
hearing
is
related
to
this
food
catering
ordinance.
B
We
so
far
actually
do
not
have
anyone
signed
up
to
speak
to
the
specific
item.
We
do
have
quite
a
few
folks
on
the
line,
and
so
I
I
will
go
through
the
list
if
you
are
here
again
to
speak
to
something
not
related
to
the
food
catering
ordinance
to
please
delay
pause
your
comments.
B
You
are
free
to
also
do
so
to
submit
your
comments
to
console,
comment
at
minneapolism
and
or
contact
the
mayor's
office
and
city
council
off
your
city,
council
member,
and
we
will
be
having
a
public
hearing
on
october
8th
great
with
that,
I
will
open
up
the
public
hearing,
as
I
call
your
name,
if
you
could
I'm
sorry,
please
hold
one.
B
L
Certainly,
mr
chair
and
I'm
sorry
to
provide
more
confusion
in
an
already
stressful
situation,
but
for
those
who
had
already
signed
up
to
speak
about
general
policing
issues
or
public
safety,
I'm
happy
to
have
our
office
reach
out
to
them
and
put
them
back
in
queue
for
the
october
eighth
meeting
per
year
direction
with
the
public
comment
period
so
that
they're
first
in
line
and
available
to
speak
at
that
time.
B
Oh
perfect
great,
so
so
so,
just
to
make
sure
folks
understand
if
you
signed
up
today
and
you
wanted
to
speak
to
to
public
safety
and
policing,
you
will
be
added
to
the
queue
for
the
public
hearing,
so
you
will
not
have
to
go
through
that
additional
step
did
I
did
I
capture
that
correctly,
mr
clerk?
Yes,
for
the
public
comment
period,
yeah
for
the
public
comment
period.
B
Thank
you
so
much
all
right,
so
I
will
go
ahead
and
begin
down
the
list,
if
you
could
unmute
yourself
by
pushing
star
six
and
stating
your
name
for
the
record
as
well
as
what
you're
here
to
speak
to
so
first
on
our
list
today
is
bill

K
Mr
cunningham,
can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
we
can.
Thank
you,
sir,
by
your
own
discussion.
Just
now,
there's
apparently
been
quite
a
bit
of
confusion
and
miscommunication
on
the
part
of
your
staff
and
your
team.
I,
like
many
others
on
the
phone
here,
signed
up
well
in
advance
of
this
meeting,
to
speak
about
the
number
one
concern
in
this
community
right
now
and
that's
our
public
safety
and
I
move
for
you
to
suspend
the
rules
as
you
are
in
every
right
to
do.
We
signed
up
in
good
faith.
We
followed
the
rules.
K
We
spoke
to
staff
well
in
advance
of
this
meeting.
To
make
sure
we
had
followed
the
rules
correctly,
and
so
therefore,
I
think
it
would
be
courteous
of
you
and
within
your
responsibility
to
hear
what
the
taxpayers,
your
people
who
pay
your
salary,
have
to
say
about
our
concerns
currently
regarding
public
safety
in
our
community.
Mr.
K
K
B
K
B
L
Have
a
response,
mr
chair,
I
can
confirm,
I
have
provided
to
the
council
an
image
in
your
chat
that
shows
how
people
can
sign
up.
It
does
say,
meetings
with
public
hearings.
It
has
a
drop
down
menu
that
lists
the
dates
and
meetings
that
have
hearings,
not
public
comment
periods.
It
also
requires
someone
to
type
in
the
agenda
item.
It
says
as
an
instruction.
Please
include
a
file
number
or
the
agenda
item,
so
we
can
know
what
you're
speaking
about
what
mr
rodriguez
did.
Was
he
typed
into
that
field?
Public
safety?
L
That
was
not
an
option
on
the
agenda.
He
typed
it
in
so
so
this
is
not
in
keeping
with
signing
up
to
speak
about
an
agenda
item.
It's
it's
essentially
adding
an
agenda
item
that
was
not
on
the
agenda,
so
that
speaking
can
be
done.
L
So
the
item
that
the
speaker
is
addressing,
which
is
general
public
safety,
was
not
included
on
our
official
public
notices
page.
It
was
not
published
in
finance
and
commerce.
There
was
not
an
equal
or
balanced
opportunity
for
anyone
in
the
community
to
come.
Speak
to
this
and
adding
in
a
comment,
that's
not
on
the
agenda
is
not
necessarily
the
way
to
be
able
to
address
what's
happening.
The
tech
team
are
showing
you
the
sign
up
form
right
now,
as
you
can
see
where
it
says
agenda
item.
J
B
B
So
if
we
suspend
our
rules
as
a
committee
to
be
able
to
have
folks
speak
to
an
item
that
is
not
related
to
an
agenda
item,
then
that
is
not
transparent
and
fair
to
other
folks,
who
would
like
to
be
able
to
speak
to
the
specific?
The
specific
item
that
you
would
like
to
speak
to,
that
does.
That
is
not
a
reflection
of
not
feeling
that
this
is
urgent
or
a
priority.
B
I
100
agree
with
you.
This
is
something
it's
a
top
priority
we
need
to
be
talking
about,
and
the
rules
of
the
council
when
it
comes
to
this
is
that
we
want
to
be
able
to
have
as
transparent
and
fair
accessible
process
for
folks,
which
is
why
I
upon
seeing
and
hearing
about
the
list
of
folks
who
would
like
to
be
able
to
speak
to
this
issue,
have
announced
officially
for
there
to.
B
Related
to
october,
or
excuse
me
on
october,
8th
at
the
next
committee
meeting
so
that
we
can
have
a
fair,
transparent,
accessible
process,
so
that
other
folks
who
are
interested
in
speaking
to
this
issue
have
the
space
to
do
so
as
well.
So
so
I
just
wanted
to.
K
Mr
cunningham,
mr
cunningham,
there
is
nothing
unfair,
so
to
speak,
to
allow
the
many
people,
the
many
people
who
have
signed
up
to
speak
today,
to
allow
them
to
speak
and
still
be
able
to
hear
additional
people.
Two
weeks
from
now
when
this
crisis,
we're
facing,
will
be
two
weeks
deeper
into
our
lives.
What
the
clerk
said
was
only
partially
correct.
B
B
B
B
K
K
B
B
K
B
B
Everybody's
mind:
right
now:
I'm
sorry
to
my
colleagues.
I'd
just
be
able
to
just
saw
in
the
the
queue
councilmember
paul
masano,
my
apologies
for
for
not
seeing
you
actually.
Let
me
pause
right,
quick,
mr
carl.
We
are
in
a
public.
I've
opened
a
public
hearing.
Now
I
have
council
members
in
queue.
B
L
B
Okay,
so
do
I
just
suspend
it
for
yeah.
B
Thank
you.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
I'm
following
appropriate
procedures,
so
I
will
recess
this
public
hearing,
but
I
have
council
member
palmisano
in
queue,
so
councilmember
palmisano.
J
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
I
was
going
to
try
to
be
helpful
here
and
recommend
that
we
dispose
with
the
catering
ordinance
public
hearing
first,
but
I
do
think
we
need
to
address
this
from
the
things
that
I
have
seen.
You
know
the
clerk
says
that
online
signing
up
requires
identification
of
public
hearings
and
and
he's
right.
J
J
I
fear
that
for
many
of
these
folks
this
could
be
the
first
time.
They've
ever
participated
in
committee
proceedings
and
everything
is
different.
Now
I
I
don't
know
I
haven't
heard
from
the
clerk's
office
exactly
how
many
people
have
signed
up,
except
we
can
see
how
many
people
are
here
right
now.
So
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
that
people
here
on
this
call
may
be
due
to
confusion,
but
we
should
appreciate
this.
J
You
know
we
should
appreciate
that
fact
that
for
two
plus
years
we've
had
public
comment
periods
on
matters
of
public
safety
at
the
public
safety
committee.
So,
ironically,
our
main
discussion
item
today
from
director
cotton
was
about
how
to
meaningfully
engage
the
public
in
a
public
safety
conversation.
B
H
Thank
you
and
I
respected
the
chair's
decision
about
this.
I
guess
it's
re
regrettable.
If
people
actually
mistakenly
thought
that
they
could
speak
more
generally
today
on
this
topic,
that's
a
confusion.
I
guess
I
couldn't
appreciate
might
be.
Authentically
might
really
have
happened
to
some
folks.
H
I
know
I
wasn't
on
the
public
safety
committee
during
the
period
when
they
were
taking
public
comment
at
the
beginning,
but
I
did
just
wanted
to
raise
another
point
that
we
risk
being
so
flexible
about
suspending
our
rules
that
they're
meaningless,
and
so
that
means
we
give
this
distinct
advantage
to
people
who
are
particularly
assertive
and
can
make
their
cases
really
well
to
get
heard
over
and
over
and
over
and
in
an
unfair
way,
and
so
I'm
concerned
about
that-
and
maybe
maybe
you
think
of
it
as
precedent,
setting
that,
if
we're
so
flexible
about
that
rule
well,
we
should
change
the
rule
and
then
open
it
up
wide
open
for
everybody.
H
I
guess
if
we
think
that
we
should
just
be
more
flexible
and
impromptu
at
our
committee
meetings,
so
I
am
just
for
those
who
were
curious.
When
I
heard
somebody
should
make
the
motion
and
I'm
not
going
to
make
the
motion
to
depend,
suspend
the
rules,
but
I
think
I
vote
against
it
and
support
the
chair
and
his
decision
thus
far.
G
I
can't
state
it
any
better
than
councilmember
gordon
has.
I
think
that
that
early
in
the
term,
there
were
times
where
we
did
suspend
the
rules,
and
I
think
that
for
the
past
couple
of
years
the
practice
has
been
to
not
suspend
the
rules
and
allow
folks
to
speak,
and
I
can
think
of
a
number
of
occasions
in
which
we've
had
relatively
large
groups.
I
remember
one
protest
with
regards
to
the
corcoran
five
who
showed
up.
G
I
know
that
we've
had
a
lot
of
folks
who,
for
years,
were
asking
us
to
make
cuts
to
the
police
department.
Well,
before
the
this
larger
national
conversation
would
show
up
demanding
to
speak
and
in
those
instances
we
did
not
suspend
the
rules.
G
There
is
a
situation
where
I
think
that
the
fair
thing
to
do
would
would
be
to
not
suspend
the
rules.
Would
you
you
have
given
your
intention
to
notice
a
public
comment
period
for
the
next
meeting,
and-
and
so
I
think
I
think
it's.
I
think
that
is
the
appropriate
approach,
but
we
can't
suspend
the
rules
every
single
time.
A
group
shows
up-
and
we
haven't
in
the
past,
even
when
those
groups
have
probably
possibly
agreed
with
our
positions
as
individual
council
members
or
as
chairs
or
or
anything.
G
So
this
isn't
necessarily
about
that.
This
is
about
whether
or
not
we're
being
fair
to
all
groups.
So
I
respect
the
chairs.
B
Decision,
thank
you
is
there.
Are
there
any
other
comments
from
council
members.
B
Mr
carl,
how
would
you
recommend
that
we
proceed
with
the
public
hearing,
since
it
seems
as
though
no
one
who
signed
up
is
actually
here
to
speak
to
this
specific
public
hearing?
How.
L
Mr
chair,
you
would
first
need
to
resume
the
public
comment
period
which
was
previously
opened.
As
you
know,
we
recessed
that
at
your
direction,
so
you
would
resume
the
public
comment
period,
hearing
no
public
comments
and
having
no
one
saying.
K
L
B
B
Okay,
I
will
reopen
this
public
hearing.
We
have
council
member
johnson
on
the
line
who
would
like
to
speak
to
this
if
you
just
hang
on
one
second
council
member,
if
there
is,
is
there
anyone
here
to
speak
to
this
particular
item.
B
All
right
hearing
none,
I
will
close
this
public
hearing
councilmember
johnson.
B
Okay,
council,
member.
D
B
Councilmember
johnson
keeps
getting
muted.
I
think
he
has
called
in
so
give
me
one
second,
so
his
his
is
2639.
So
if
we
could,
please
not
mute
that
councilmember
johnson.
If
you
would
like
to
speak
to
this,
we
welcome.
We
welcome
you
to
the.
M
Oh
all
right
thanks,
I
don't
know,
what's
happening
there,
it's
trying
to
unmute
and
it
just
kept
saying:
oh
you're,
somebody
muted
you,
so
I
just
wanted
to
jump
on
to
the
call,
though,
and
if
any
of
my
colleagues
have
questions,
I'm
happy
to
answer
on
this
ordinance,
but
we've
been
working
on
it
for
quite
a
while,
and
you
know
it's
definitely
something
that
is
going
to
help
support
small
businesses,
especially
restaurants.
M
It
is,
of
course,
with
covet
a
little
complicated
in
the
sense
that
they
won't
be
able
to
benefit
as
much
right
now
with
that
challenge,
as
they
would
have
pre-coveted,
but
certainly
as
soon
as
kovid
eases
up.
M
This
will
be
a
really
wonderful
way
for
our
especially
independent
local
restaurants,
to
expand
their
customer
base
and
introduce
themselves
to
additional
people
and
just
be
able
to
be
more
resilient,
and
it
just
works
out
really
well
for
a
lot
of
folks,
and
so
I'm
really
happy
for
staff's
partnership
on
this
and
the
conversations
to
get
to
this
to
get
to
this
place.
M
With
this,
I
think
it's
a
really
positive
change
to
help
our
small
businesses
and
ask
for
my
colleague's
support
on
it
and
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
all
have.
B
B
B
All
right
seeing
none,
I
will
move
approval
of
this
item.
Are
there
any?
Is
there
any
discussion
on
that
motion?
Sig,
none
I'll
ask
the
clerk
to
call
the
role
on
the
motion
to
approve.
F
J
B
Thank
you
so
much
that
that
motion
carries
again.
I
would
like
to
state
that
we
will
be
having
a
public
comment
period
scheduled
for
october,
8th
at
1,
30
related
to
public
safety
and
policing
concerns.
B
This
is
to
ensure
that
everyone
who
has
the
interest
to
be
able
to
speak
to
the
to
this
item
has
the
ability
to
be
at
the
public
hearing
related
to
that
folks
who
have
signed
up
to
speak
today,
will
be
able
to
will
be
transferred
over
to
that
list.
So
we
hope
that
you
all
will
join
us.
Then
I
apologize
for
any
sort
of
confusion
in
this
public
health
and
safety
committee.
B
It
is
different
than
the
public
safety
and
emergency
management
committee,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
that,
given
that
that
was
the
way
that
things
were
done
before
now.
We
have
a
public
health
and
safety
committee
and
we
are
operating
under
the
council's
rules,
so
it
is
not
to
disregard
the
urgency
or
the
importance
of
talking
about
public
safety
we
want
to.
B
It
may
seem
boring,
but
we
do
need
to
adhere
to
the
policies,
procedures
and
rules
of
council
committees
to
ensure
that
we
have
a
transparent
and
fair
process
with
that
colleagues,
we
have
five
items
for
the
on
the
consent
agenda.
B
So
item
number
two
on
the
agenda
is:
accepting
a
covet:
19,
supplemental
assistance
to
firefighters,
grant
from
fema
in
the
amount
of
301
500
for
the
purchase
of
personal
protective
equipment.
Item
number
three
is
accepting
reimbursements
from
the
minnesota
board
of
firefighter
training
and
education
in
the
amount
of
eighty
three
thousand
two
hundred
for
approved
training
conducted
between
july
first
of
2020
through
june
30th
2021.
B
I
just
want
to
briefly
pause
there
and
give
a
quick
raise
and
praise
to
the
finance
director
of
the
minneapolis
fire
department
for
his
hard
work
in
bringing
these
resources
into
our
city
and
our
fire
department.
Item
number
four
is
authorizing
an
agreement
with
the
centers
for
disease
control
and
prevention
to
host
four
associates
from
the
public
health
associates
program
in
the
public,
the
minute,
the
minneapolis
health
department
for
a
two
year
period.
B
If
my
colleagues
have
not
already
done
so,
I
highly
recommend
for
you
all
to
read
through
the
rca.
We
have
some
really
remarkable
people
coming
to
work
for
our
city
across
a
plethora
of
issues
ranging
from
covid
to
opioids
and
hiv
and
the
school-based
clinics.
B
So
it'd
be
great
for
you
to
get
to
know
those
associates
who
will
be
coming
in
item
number.
Five
is
authorizing
a
contract
with
city
university
of
new
york,
on
behalf
of
john
jay
college
of
criminal
justice
and
the
amount
not
to
exceed
275
000
for
ongoing
strategic
advising
with
the
specific
aims
of
supporting
the
core
minneapolis
group.
Violence,
intervention,
gdi,
implementation
team.
B
This
is
a
long
time
relationship
that
we
have
with
john
jay,
and
so
I'm
very
grateful
for
this
ongoing
relationship
so
that
we
can
continue
to
deepen
and
strengthen
our
gvi
efforts
and
item
number.
Six
is
authorizing.
B
The
one-time
transfer
of
50
000
from
the
city
attorney's
office
to
the
police
department
for
the
personnel
cost
for
two
grant
funded
community
navigator
positions,
and
I
will
just
also
briefly
state
that
these
two
positions,
one
is
related
to
intimate
partner
violence
and
the
other
is
related
to
lgbtq
rights
or
community,
as
well
as
homeless,
homelessness
issues.
B
These
two
folks
who
are
community
navigators-
these
are
civilian
positions,
they
are,
is
doing
phenomenal
work,
I'm
very
grateful
for
their
service
to
our
city,
as
well
as
to
the
residents
of
our
city
who
benefit
from
their
service.
So
so
I'm
grateful
to
the
city
attorney's
office
to
be
able
to
help
fill
this
gap
related
to
the
community
navigator.
These
two
grant
funded
navigator
positions
with
that.
B
I
will
ask
if
there
is
any
discussion
on
the
consent
agenda
or
if
there
are
any
items
that
anyone
would
like
to
pull
off
for
discussion.
I
Thank
you,
chuck
cunningham.
I
just
want
to
join.
I
don't
need
to
pull
anything
for
discussion,
but
I
want
to
comment
briefly
and
just
join
your
comments
and
just
really
appreciating
the
john
jay
college
work
coming
through.
I
remember
us
getting
that
into
the
budget
in
december
last
year
and
I'm
happy
to
see
that
moving
along.
I
think
that's
one
of
the
ways
that
we're
responding
to
violence
in
our
community
and
it's
I'm
appreciative
of
the
technical
assistance
that
that
represents.
I
I
Those
two
positions
had
they
not
intervened
does
make
me
wonder
if
they're
supported
and
if,
if
mpd
is
the
right
place
for
those
positions
to
live,
it's
it's
really
important
work,
but
I
think
we
are
at
risk
of
losing
them.
If
the
city
attorney's
office
hadn't
intervened-
and
I
think
it's
important
for
us
to
get
to
some
place
that
that
we
are
prioritizing
important
community
work,
that's
happening,
and
I
do
think
that's
something
we
should
look
at
as
we
move
forward
and
are
thinking
about
the
future
of
public
safety.
I
So
I'll
just
note
that,
but
in
the
meantime,
grateful
that
we're
able
to
keep
these
two
workers,
who
really
are
doing
significant
community
work.
B
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
comments.
Councilmember
fletcher.

other
questions,
comments
or

pull
from
the
agenda?
B
F

That
carries
and
the
consent
agenda
is
approved.
I
just
want
to
take
a
quick
moment
to
pause
again
and
say
thank
you
to
all
of
the
city
staff.
This
work
that's
being
brought
before
council
takes
so
much
time
and
energy
innovation
intentionality,
and
we
are
very,
very
lucky
to
have
these
amazing
staff
bringing
this
work
before
us
with
that
without
objection
and
no
further
business
before
this
committee,
I
will
this
meeting
is
adjourned.
Thank.
