Good
morning
my
name
is
lenny
palmisano,
I'm
the
chair
of
the
budget
committee
and
I'm
going
to
call
to
order
this
regular
committee
meeting
for
friday
december
3rd.
I'd
like
to
note
for
the
record.
This
meeting
has
remote
participation
by
council
members
and
city
staff
as
authorized
under
minnesota,
open
meeting
law,
section
13
d
.021
due
to
the
declared
state
of
local
public
health
emergency.
I
will
also
note
the
city
will
be
recording
and
posting
this
meeting
to
the
city's
website
and
youtube
channel
as
a
means
of
increasing
public
access
and
transparency.
C
A
D
E
C
Are
12
numbers
present?
Thank
you.
Let
the
record
reflect.
We
have
a
quorum.
Colleagues,
the
one
and
only
piece
of
business
before
us
today
is
to
formally
begin
our
work
on
mayor
fry's
2022
recommended
budget.
Over
the
last
several
months.
This
committee
has
received
a
series
of
presentations
to
examine
details
of
each
department's
budget
requests.
C
This
committee
and
the
city
council
have
also
held
two
public
hearings
on
this
budget
as
well,
and
we
will
hold
a
third
hearing
next
week,
wednesday
december
8th
starting
at
605
pm.
I
want
to
start
with
an
overview
of
the
process.
I
intend
to
follow
for
this
meeting
you.
There
are
amendments,
an
amendment
packet
and
they
are
ordered
and
sent
to
all
council
members
after
we
go
through
a
brief
update
about
our
financial
policies.
We
will
go
and
proceed
through
these
proposed
amendments,
one
by
one.
C
C
I
do
expect
our
work
today
will
extend
into
the
lunch
hour,
so
I
may
recess
the
meeting
to
allow
for
a
30-minute
lunch
break.
If
we
don't
finish
our
work
today
or
if
staff
feel
they
need
time
to
do
technical
cleanup
to
changes
we
make
today,
we
will
meet
again
on
monday
december
6th
at
1
30
pm,
as
is
on
our
calendars
and
noticed
for
the
public
as
a
continuation
of
today.
Do
any
of
my
colleagues
have
questions
about
how
we're
going
to
run
today.
C
All
right
well
before
we
get
to
the
prepared
amendments
packet,
we
have
updates
to
financial
policies.
These
are
usually
smashed
into
wednesday
night
adoption
and
you
know
we
read
them
quickly
and
they
don't
get
a
lot
of
air
time.
I
have
asked
director
kruper
just
to
give
us
an
overview.
It's
very
short.
I
promise
director
kruver.
F
F
F
This
would
make
a
slight
change
to
say
that
we
would
automatically
add
increases
that
are
up
to
an
inflationary
amount.
Any
increases
that
are
larger
than
inflationary
would
be
would
be
pulled
out
of
that
automatic
process
and
would
be
handled
the
way
we
handle
similar
changes
in
spending,
whereas
increases
are
higher
than
like.
I
said,
a
regular
inflationary
amount.
F
So
if
that
were
to
happen,
if
there's
something
going
on
that's
driving
costs
to
increase
larger
than
inflation,
then
departments
would
need
to
find
that
budget
within
their
discretionary
funds
in
their
own
budget,
or
that
would
show
up
as
a
change
item
in
the
budget
process.
So
again,
this
just
adds
a
step
that,
if
there
are
large
increases
we're
going
to
pull
that
out
of
the
automatic
process
of
calculating
the
current
service
level
and
bring
it
up
into
either
a
change
item,
discussion
or
a
decision
point
for
department
heads.
G
F
Happy
to
so
one
of
the
things
that
drive
our
increases
in
costs
for
internal
service
departments,
I'll
use
it
as
an
example,
sometimes
departments
have
specific
software
that
they
use
that
might
have
cost
increases
that
are
more
than
five
percent
somewhere
like
10
each
year.
So
when
that
happens
under
our
current
policies,
we
just
add
those
budgets
to
departments
budgets
as
a
starting
place
for
the
for
the
budget
discussion.
F
What
this
would
do
is
say
you
know
if
inflation
is
looking
like
it's
around
four
percent
increase
for
that
year,
we
would
pick
that
cost
increase
up,
go
to
the
department
and
say
what's
driving
this
increase.
Let's,
let's
work
with
our
internal
service
departments
to
see
this
is
a
specific
software.
Is
there
another
software
that
we
have?
F
Maybe
that
we're
already
paying
for
that
we
could
use
instead,
if
that's
not
the
case,
departments
can
prioritize
that
find
space
for
it
within
their
discretionary
funds,
or
they
can
put
it
in
a
change
item
if
it's
critical
to
their
business
processes.
So
that
would
be
one
example.
I
have
sometimes
that
we
are
specific.
Newer
software
sometimes
increases
in
cost
much
higher
than
the
rate
of
inflation.
F
All
right,
I
will
move
on
to
the
next
one,
which
is
about
overtime,
so
our
current
financial
policies
have
some
conflicting
language
about
using
overtime
in
the
budget,
so
we've
removed
the
old
language,
one
of
which
said
not
to
include
overtime
and
personnel
costs,
one
of
which
capped
the
amount
of
overtime
we
budget
and
we've
just
replaced
that
language
by
saying
each
year.
If
departments
would
like
to
budget
for
overtime,
they
need
a
fresh
analysis
of
the
amount
of
overtime
that
they
need.
F
So
this
update
doesn't
change
the
way
we
administer
our
liability
or
our
workers
compensation
programs.
This
is
just
adjusting
what
we
have
as
a
target
fund
balance
for
these
two
sub
funds.
So,
right
now
in
our
self-insurance
fund,
there's
actually
four
different
sub
funds.
Two
of
them
are
liability
and
workers.
Comp
and
our
current
financial
policies
have
a
policy
for
the
target
fund
balance
that
is
out
of
line
with
the
rest
of
those
funds.
So
this
brings
that
back
into
line
with
the
rest
of
the
funds
in
the
self-insurance
fund
sort
of
basket.
F
But
in
terms
of
our
our
cushion
that
we
are
targeting
to
have
an
unreserved
fund
balance,
we're
only
going
to
use
next
year's
losses
as
our
target,
rather
than
all
of
the
liability
that
we
may
face
in
the
next
several
years.
So
this
again
brings
that
policy
in
line
with
the
rest
of
our
self-insurance
funds
and
the
rest
of
our
internal
service
funds
in
general.
F
C
C
C
I
want
to
note
from
the
clerk
that
the
amendments
packet
has
been
posted
to
limbs
at
this
time
and
with
that
we'll
begin
with
the
proposed
amendments
that
are
in
front
of
us
I'll
begin
with
the
technical
amendments
and
then
the
mayor's
amendments.
We
have
city
staff
on
hand
to
answer
questions
you
might
have
about
them.
I
am
certainly
not
the
expert
of
these
specific
amendments
and
after
that,
we'll
move
smoothly
into
the
rest.
C
I
will
recognize
the
author
of
each
amendment
to
introduce
your
own
amendment
and
then
we
will
open
the
floor
to
discussion
before
taking
a
vote.
Staff
from
the
budget
office
as
well
as
departments,
are
on
hand,
and
I
will
also
ask
our
technical
team
to
be
sure
that
we're
displaying
each
amendment
as
the
author
is
introducing
it
so
that
the
public
can
see
what
is
being
proposed.
So
we'll
start
with
item
number
one
in
these
packets-
and
this
is
some
of
the
this-
is
the
more
technical
amendments
piece.
F
Thank
you,
chair
palmisano,
and
if
the
clerk
could
scroll
back
up
to
the
top
I'll
get
started,
but
the
first
two
items
address
errors
or
omissions.
In
the
mayor's
recommended
budget,
the
ward
budgets
were
reduced
in
2021
as
part
of
cost
saving
measures
in
2022.
We
are
simply
adding
back
136
000.
F
Dollars
for
the
ward
budgets,
I.
The
second
item
is
a
similar
situation,
where
we
are
restoring
113
thousand
dollars
in
ongoing
budget
to
the
civil
rights
department
to
cover
labor
standards
co-enforcement
the
remainder,
eighty
six
thousand
000
will
be
one-time
funds
and
that
will
be
addressed
in
a
later
amendment.
But
together,
these
two
amendments
will
bring
the
overall
budget
for
labor
co-standards
in
civil
rights
or
labor
coenforcement
in
civil
rights
back
up
to
200
000,
which
is
the
rate
that
they
had
in
the
2020
budget.
F
So
the
next
amendment
corrects
an
error
in
the
cped
budget.
This
reduces
overall
spending
in
the
general
fund
by
250
000.
This
is
related
to
transfers
that
cped
has
going
out
of
the
general
fund
to
the
special
revenue
fund
and
so
that
correction
brought
down
spending
by
250
000.
It
is
offset
by
the
increases
in
ongoing
spending
in
the
first
two
items.
F
F
The
next
one
addresses
the
resolution
that
was
passed
again
in
between
the
mayor's
budget
release
and
and
now
related
to
the
parks
and
streets
ordinance,
so
that
was
updated
through
council
and
it
increases
spending
in
the
park
board
on
capital
projects
by
a
million
dollars.
So
we've
included
that
here
the
next
one
addresses
a
special
assessment
bond
in
the
minneapolis
parks
board.
These
change
every
year
and
the
minneapolis
parks
board
just
asked
for
an
adjustment,
as
they
work
to
address
continue
to
address
disease
tree
removal.
F
If
you
can
scroll
down
a
little
bit.
Thank
you
so
much
the
item.
I
addresses
the
art
in
public
places,
program,
art
and
public
places
is
meant
to
be
funded
at
an
amount
that
is
1.5
percent
of
overall
net
debt
bonds,
and
so
this
is
just
increasing
that
amount
so
that
we
are
accurate
in
the
percent.
We're
budgeting
for
that
program
as
it
relates
to
the
increase
in
the
park
board
that
capital
spending
that
I
just
talked
about
the
next
one
is
just
a
change
in
revenue.
F
It's
a
neutral
change,
it's
a
net,
zero
change,
but
we're
lowering
revenues
into
the
debt
service
fund
and
increasing
them
into
the
capital
fund,
and
this
is
just
related
to
the
timing
of
our
bond
sale
this
year.
In
order
to
collect
revenue
into
our
debt
service
fund,
we
need
to
have
bond
sales
to
tie
all
of
that
funding
to
because
we
had
a
later
start
in
bond
sales
this
year,
having
just
wrapped
up
the
first
one
last
month.
F
The
next
one
is
cleaning
up
revenue
and
spending
in
the
neighborhoods
and
community
relations
special
revenue
fund.
This
is
the
1800
fund.
We
have
better
information
at
this
time
of
year
than
we
did
this
summer.
On
what
we
expect
to
see
in
rollover
spending,
so
this
is
spending
that
has
been
previously
allocated
to
neighborhoods
that
we
are
seeing
spend
down
happening
years
later
after
it
was
appropriated.
F
So
we
have
better
information,
we're
just
updating
our
financial
plans
and
our
budget
to
reflect
that
and
the
last
one
is
just
including
a
revenue
source
for
the
convention
center.
The
target
center,
specifically
including
that
team
rent.
This
was
something
that
was
included
in
our
financial
plans,
but
not
included
in
our
budget
data.
So
we're
adding
that
adjustment
here
and
that
concludes
the
technical
amendments.
I'll
stand
for
any
questions.
H
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
was
just
trying
to
understand
what
was
the
the
item
about
the
arts
funding.
Can
you
please
just
repeat
that
I
couldn't
you
just
said
the
next
one
and
I
couldn't
tell
which
letter
you
are.
F
Sure
so
this
is
about
letter.
I-
and
this
is
about
the
art
program
in
cped-
called
art
in
public
places,.
F
F
C
Thank
you,
I'm
not
seeing
anything
further
from
my
colleagues
so
with
that
I
will
ask
the
clerk
to
please
call
the
roll
on
motion
number
one
wait.
Actually,
I
might
have
spoken
too
soon,
council,
member
fletcher
and
then
gordon
council,
member
fletcher.
I
Thank
you,
joe
palmisano,
just
a
quick
question
on
the
civil
rights
item
item
b
or
I'm
sorry,
I'm
am
I
getting
ahead
yeah.
So
the
that
item.
I
Is
restoring
200
000.?
I
think
the
previous
year
was
269..
So
can
we
just
clarify
we're
not
actually
restoring
the
dollar
amount
to
the
amount
that
was
in
the
budget
last
year?
Correct.
F
We
are
restoring
it
so
that
that
extra
69
thousand
dollars
is
in
their
budget
right
now
the
cut
was
200
000
that
happened.
So
that's
the
amount
that
we're
restoring
and
to
complicate
matters
a
little
bit
more
we're
adding
back
113
in
ongoing
spending
in
this
technical
amendment,
because
that
is
the
amount
of
resources
that
were
freed
up
with
that
correction
in
item
c
and
then
in
the
next
amendment,
you'll
see
the
addition
of
the
remaining
86
thousand
dollars
in
one-time
sources.
G
Yeah,
can
you
help
me
understand
so
there's
a
second
motion
that
looks
duplicative
of
this
technical
amendments.
In
fact,
that
includes
the
civil
rights
piece
and
some
of
these
pieces.
I
just
don't
quite
understand
why
we're
voting
on
this
and
then
it
looks
like
our
next
motion
on
number
two.
It
has
a
similar
matters.
Can
you
just
clarify,
but
it
doesn't
have
all
of
them.
I
don't
think.
F
Yes
great
question,
and
it
is
a
confusing
sort
of
series
of
amendments.
So
I'm
happy
to
clarify
in
this
technical
amendment
when
we
corrected
for
the
error
in
cped's
budget
that
lowered
general
fund
spending
by
250
000,
we
used
136
000
of
it
in
this
technical
amendment
to
address
that
omission
in
the
ward
budgets
and
then
we
are
using
the
113
left
to
address
the
omission
of
the
labor
standards
co-enforcement
contract
in
order
to
restore
that
contract
up
to
the
full
two
hundred
thousand
dollars.
There's
still,
eighty
six
thousand
dollars
left
to
be
appropriated.
F
That's
where
the
second
motion
that
we'll
go
to
next
comes
in
and
that
appropriates
eighty
six
thousand
dollars
in
one-time
funds.
So
in
order
to
make
that
whole
back
to
the
200
000,
we'll
need
to
get
through
motions
one
and
two
okay.
C
All
right,
I'm
not
seeing
anything
more.
I
think,
then
mr
clerk
were
ready
to
call
the
role
on
motion
number
one.
H
D
A
C
Thank
you.
That
motion
carries
we'll
move
along
to
motion
number
two.
This
is
the
one
that
is
not
as
tying
up
loose
ends
in
nature,
but
more
about
changes
that
the
mayor
wishes
to
make
between
august
when
he
released
his
budget
and
now,
like
councilmember
gordon
said,
there's
it
feels
like
there's
overlap
in
that.
So
let
me
just
briefly
read:
go
through
these
seven
pieces
of
it.
I
will
start
at
the
bottom,
which
is
here
are
the
things
that
are
being
decreased
and
why?
C
C
C
First
is
an
increase
in
communications
department
expenses
by
twenty
five
thousand
dollars,
one
time
to
hire
a
vendor,
as
is
best
practices
to
do,
to
review
our
franchise
and
public
education
and
government
fees
that
comcast
pays
to
the
city
of
minneapolis
for
the
last
three
years.
The
second
is
to
do
the
piece
that
we
were
just
talking
about
as
council
member
fletcher
stated
that
would
make
the
an
additional
113
630
ongoing
and
have
thousand
three
hundred
and
seventy
dollars
one
time
to
continue
a
labor
standards
co-enforcement
model
with
our
partners.
C
I
believe
we
have
three
partners
in
that
work.
The
third
is
to
increase
expenses
in
the
health
department
by
four
hundred
thousand
dollars.
One
time
for
a
regional
biochar
facility
project
and
director
hanlon
is
on
hand.
If
people
have
questions
for
him
about
that,
but
I
know
he's
fielded
some
questions
already
and
let's
see
the
other
piece.
Is
the
88
630
dollars
one
time
for
contract
dollars
to
prepare
the
policy
and
ordinance
changes
required
to
implement
question
number
one?
The
government
structure
amendment.
C
I
believe
that
the
city,
clerk
or
other
staff
would
be
happy
to
speak
to
that,
and
the
other
piece
is
the
greater
msp
partnership
to
restore
previous
ways
that
we've
been
a
partner
in
that
work
and
our
continued
collaboration
on
greater
msp
and
that's
a
100
000
one-time
expense,
any
questions
or
discussion
for
my
or
wait.
I
guess
first,
I
will
make
that
motion.
Could
I
have
a
second.
D
C
I
Thank
you,
sir
palmisano.
I
I
don't
think
there's
an
item
on
here
that
I
object
to,
but
I
actually
do
want
to
raise
just
from
a
process
standpoint.
I
I
have
some
concerns
about
the
about
process
here
and
about
how
much
power
we
might
be
giving
away,
because
so
much
of
how
government
structure
is
going
to
be
implemented
in
the
next
council
is
really
going
to
depend
on
the
norms
that
are
established
and
if
the
norm
that
is
established
is
that
the
budget
chair
will
bring
through
whatever
amendments
the
mayor
proposes.
I
The
council
is
effectively
giving
away
its
budget
power,
which
is
one
of
the
powers
that
is
still
preserved
for
the
council
under
the
new
government
structure
that
that
is
supposed
to
be
clarifying
of
that
right,
and
so
I
honestly,
I
would
have
really
liked
to
see
the
mayor,
and
I
think
it
would
have
been
quite
easy
to
do.
Find
council
authors
for
these
items.
I
I
think
it
would
have
been.
I
mean
recognizing
that
that
council,
member
palmisano's
name
is
on
this.
As
the
budget
chair,
I
I
I
mean
council
member
schroeder
has
been
a
huge
advocate
for
biochar.
I
I
don't
think
it
would
have
been
hard
to
reach
out
to
his
office
and
and
partner
on
that.
Several
of
us
have
been
big
advocates
on
labor
standards.
I
I
don't
think
it
would
have
been
hard
to
partner
with
us
and
and
and
find
council
authors
for
this
and
to
really
establish
that
once
the
mayor
delivers
a
budget
in
august,
it
is
then
the
council's
job
and
the
mayor
needs
to
work
with
the
council
on
substantive
items
that
come
through.
After
that.
I
think
that
that's
the
process,
we
should
be
establishing
I'm
tempted
to
vote
no
on
this.
I
Just
on
that
principle
and
and
frankly,
I
think
it
would
be
good
for
this
body
if
we
were
to
vote
no
on
this
and
and
ask
the
mayor's
office
to
go
through
the
motions
of
getting
council
authors
for
these
and
bring
them
through
on
monday
or
on
wednesday.
I
don't
think
that
would
change
the
outcome.
I
actually
like
these
items.
I
I
think
a
lot
of
them
are
are
absolutely
worthy
of
support,
but
but
from
a
process
standpoint,
this
really
feels
like,
like
the
council,
giving
away
more
of
its
power
than
it
should
be,
and
I
wanted
to
to
get
on
record
as
as
being
concerned
about
that
and
and
I'm
hoping,
maybe
we
can
have
a
little
more
conversation
about
that
as
a
council,
as
we
sort
of
think
about
how
are
we
going
to
enact
and
establish
norms
around
this
new
government
structure?
I
I
still
care
deeply
about
this
body
that
I
serve
on
and
I
want
to
set
it
up
for
success
and
to
be
powerful
and
useful
in
coming
years.
C
Thank
you,
I
think,
that's
good
feedback,
while
a
number
of
you
know
you
have
multiple
of
these
that
go
to
one
specific
decrease
to
be
able
to
make
these
other
increases.
It's
pretty
obvious
that
you
could
piece
that
out
by
the
five
hundred
thousand
dollar
expense
and
then
the
two
hundred
thousand
dollar
expense.
C
I
think
that,
like
everybody,
we
are
all
just
looking
for
a
little
bit
of
grace
and
everybody
moving
as
fast
as
we
can,
but
I
think
that
is
a
really
thoughtful
and
important
point
to
be
careful
as
to
how
we
implement
question
number
one,
I'm
going
to
run
through
the
rest
of
the
people
in
queue
and
then
see
if
anybody
else
would
like
to
speak
to
it.
Council,
member
bender.
E
Oh
thanks
man,
I'm
sure
I
think
I'll
be
taking
us
in
a
bit
of
a
different
direction,
but
I
did
want
to
take
you
up
on
the
offer
to
hear
a
little
bit
more
about
one
of
the
items
which
is
item
four,
which
is
the
one-time
contract
for
dollars
to
prepare
the
policy
ordinance
changes
related
to
the
government
structure
change.
We
did
have
a
brief
presentation
about
this
in
committee.
E
This
being
the
implementation
of
the
government
structure
change,
there
was
still
quite
a
lot
of
unknown.
You
know
there
was
a
thing.
There
was
a
column
that
said
what
we
know,
which
was
basically
that
it
is
implemented
as
of
today
there
was
a
whole
big
column,
full
of
things
we
don't
know
which
was
basically
everything
about
how
it
will
be
implemented.
E
So
I
do
think
it
would
be
helpful
as
we
approve
this
contract
to
here
for
the
public
record.
You
know
what
is
known
about
this
contract.
What
kinds
of
services
will
be
sought?
Will
that
come
back
to
the
council
for
approval?
I
expect
not
what
scope
will
be
part
of
that?
Will
there
be
any
engagement
with
the
council
or
the
charter
commission
or
the
public
any
kind
of
detail
about
the
timeline?
E
Typically,
once
we
approve
a
contract,
then
we
have
no
other
touch
points
either
with
the
public
or
the
council.
So
I
think
it's
worth
hearing
about
it
now
again
for
the
public.
Thank
you.
C
Yep,
thank
you,
here's
my
understanding
of
it
and
then
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
casey
carl
for
more
to
me.
This
is,
I
understand
this
is
pure
drafting
needs
that
go
over
and
above
the
capabilities
or
the
capacity,
not
the
capabilities
of
our
city
attorney's
office.
You
might
remember,
with
the
plain
language
charter
that
was
passed
in
2013.
C
It
took
about
a
year
and
a
half
to
go
back
and
rewrite
every
city
ordinance
that
touched
different
parts
of
the
charter.
That
then
changed,
and
this
is
that
very
direct
drafting
exercise.
It's
not
something
that
is
going
to
have
a
lot
of
discretion
to
it.
They'll
be
taking
input
and
direction
from
us
as
a
council
as
the
policymakers
and
implementing
the
drafting
language.
For
that
item.
I'm
going
to
call
on
mr
carl
to
give
a
little
bit
more
detail
thanks.
J
Madam
chair,
I
think
your
explanation
is
sufficient.
I'll
just
say
this
is
monies
that
would
allow
for
contracts
in
the
future
to
be
done.
Obviously,
within
the
existing
financial
policies,
contracts
that
are
at
or
above
a
certain
amount
would
need
to
come
back
before
the
council.
So
this
is
a
one-time
touch
and
done
contracts
that
would
still
need
further
approvals
from
the
city
council
would
need
to
come
through
the
council's
process,
primarily
we're
looking
at
additional
legal
advice
and
assistance
to
provide
the
drafting
of
ordinances
that
implement
the
government
structure.
J
This
is
beyond
the
existing
capacity,
certainly
not
the
capability.
As
you
noted,
of
our
city
attorney's
office,
this
will
touch
most,
if
not
all
parts
of
the
city's
code
and
in
order
to
get
that
done
in
a
timely
basis
that
will
need
some
additional
legal
expertise,
especially
in
terms
of
municipal
law
and
operations,
to
come
forward
to
supplement
the
attorneys
in
the
city
attorney's
office.
J
J
So
council
will
touch
every
single
one
of
the
ordinances
to
do
implementation
as
they
do
today,
and
I
think
there
are
some
additional
project
dollars,
we're
anticipating
that
might
be
for
some
project
or
program
coordination
out
of
the
city
coordinator's
office,
and
I
believe
our
interim
coordinator,
heather
johnston,
may
be
on
the
call
as
well
and
could
speak
further
to
this.
J
She
was
carrying
this
item
forward
on
behalf
of
the
enterprise
in
terms
of
just
securing
the
monies
that
would
pay
for
project
coordination,
legal
drafting
and
writing
of
ordinances,
and
things
of
that
matter
so
again
within
the
existing
financial
policies
and
certainly
the
governance
structure.
Those
contracts
that
would
be
at
or
above
a
certain
threshold
would
need
to
come
back
to
council
for
authorization
approval.
Every
ordinance
that
would
have
to
be
completed
or
enacted
in
terms
of
implementing
would
also
have
to
come
back
through
the
council.
J
So
I
would
anticipate,
as
with
the
plain
language
charter
implementation
that
you
referenced,
which
was
a
good
example.
There
will
be
multiples
of
contact
points
with
council
and
with
council
committees,
whatever
that
structure
is
in
the
next
term.
But
again
I
would
defer
to
ms
johnston
for
for
more
specific
details.
That's
my
knowledge
of
this
proposal.
J
J
K
Madam
chair
councilman,
president
bender,
yes,
I
think
the
city
clerk
carl
has
correctly
described.
I
think
the
reason
it's
going
to
the
coordinator's
office
is
we're
not
exactly
sure
how
that
breaks
out
in
terms
of
administration
versus
drafting.
Obviously,
the
city
attorney's
office
will
be
the
ones
who
will
be
hiring
hiring
this.
This
city
attorney
sort
of
supplemental
resources
in
terms
of
doing
staffing,
and
so
we'll
have
to
work
that
out.
K
As
we
learn
more
in
terms
of
timing,
I
I
think
the
the
mayor's
direction
is
to
to
try
and
move
this
forward
as
quickly
as
possible.
As
you
know,
he
is
working
with
on
governance.
He
has
called
together
an
external
group
that
is
working
and
expects
to
have
some
recommendations
in
january
related
to
governance
structure,
and
so
he
will
be
taking
from
the
options
that
are
presented
from
them
and
we'll
be
obviously
talking
with
the
council
as
well
and
having
those
conversations
in
the
first
quarter.
E
So
yeah,
it
may
seem
obvious
that
the
mayor
would
be
talking
to
the
council,
but
it
may
not
be
is:
are
those
meetings
publicly
facing
from
the
work
groups
and
commissions
or
are
those
like
private
meetings
that
would
then
be
presented
publicly?
If
there
is
a
decision
point.
K
E
Okay,
thank
you
and
thank
you
for
indulging
in
this.
You
know.
We've
had
a
number
of
recent
examples
where
of
contracts
that
have
come
to
the
council,
one
time
with
a
very
high
level
kind
of
description,
and
then
the
council
never
has
any.
You
know
just
doesn't
have
control
over
what
happens
with
the
money
from
there
from
who
is
hired.
What
the
detailed
scope
of
services
is.
This
is
such
an
important
question:
how
people
are
interacting
with
their
government
who
is
making
decisions
on
how
how
much
public
transparency
is
there
or
not?
E
Does
the
city
council
know
what's
going
on
or
not,
and
so
I
really
do
appreciate
taking
a
little
bit
of
time
to
go
through
all
of
the
work
that
is
ahead
to
develop
a
plan
for
implementing
question
one.
Of
course
there
was
so
much
dialogue
around.
Is
there
a
plan
or
not
for
various
things?
We
know,
of
course,
that
for
question
one
the
plan
to
implement
this
massive
change
in
our
government
structure
is
now
just
starting
with
the
potential
hiring
of
a
consultant
to
manage
that
process.
E
So
it
will
be
really
important
for
people
to
be
able
to
try
to
track
what's
happening,
how
the
decisions
are
being
implemented
before
there
is
a
plan
in
place
before
the
ordinances
are
updated
before
the
commission
is
making
its
recommendations
in
this
earned
interim
period,
where
we
have
had
a
significant
shift
in
how
decisions
will
be
made
at
the
city
so
appreciate
the
time-
and
you
know
I
want
this
to
go.
Well,
I
don't
doubt
the
need
for
more
resources.
E
G
Yeah,
obviously,
there's
a
lot
more
substance
than
here
than
technical
changes.
I
just
want
to
be
clear.
We
haven't
already
approved
number
two,
so
we
vote
this
down.
There
actually
won't
be
the
hundred
and
thirteen
thousand
and
eighty.
F
F
But
we
want
each
amendment
to
balance
and
so
in
the
first
technical
amendment
we
lowered
spending
by
250
000,
and
then
we
added
spending
to
the
clerk's
office,
and
then
we
added
whatever
was
remaining
that
113
to
the
co-enforcement
and
that's
all
we
could
do
in
that
first
amendment
to
make
sure
it
was
balanced.
This
amendment
freezes
up
yeah,
that's
right.
This
amendment
frees
up
that
remaining
one
time.
So
that's
why
we
put
it
in
there.
We
tried
to
be
really
clear
that
the
total
was
going
to
be.
G
So
if
this
fails,
at
least
we
know
they
got
the
113
630,
so
that
would
be
good.
I
also
I
can
see
that
the
mayor,
just
just
figured
out
from
the
pole
ad
grant.
He
had
an
extra
seven
hundred
thousand
dollars
so
he's
trying
to
pick
up
some
pieces.
Probably
they
didn't
get
covered
earlier.
The
25
000
for
analyzing
comcast
was
probably
a
staff
recommendation.
G
I'm
sure
the
biochar
one
came
through
two,
the
both
of
those
seem
like
reasonable
things.
I
think
the
the
biochar
is
leveraging
a
lot
and
gives
us
a
great
opportunity,
I'm
very
supportive
of
that
less
so
of
number
four.
I
actually
think
that
we
should
amend
that
and
it
should
go
to
the
city
council
and
then
we
could
maintain
some
control
over
it.
Clearly,
what's
going
to
happen
with
this
charter
change
is
there's
going
to
be
a
power
play
even
to
amplify.
G
What's
going
on
and
and
then
the
council
will
be
cut
out
of
it
further,
as
we
clearly
have
been
cut
out
of
the
commission
and
have
we've
been
cut
out
of
this
amendment
even
coming
down,
so
it
it
would
be
great
to
divide
these
if
we
divided
them.
I
would
like
to
move
to
make
sure
that
number
four
increases
the
expenses
in
the
city
council
budget
by
that
amount,
so
that
they
can
have
somebody
being
their
advocate
and
do
that
and
manage
those
contracts
and
approve
it
later.
G
G
I
think
what
we've
seen
over
the
years
with
that
partnership
is
that
we
end
up
making
a
big
contribution
so
that
the
region,
the
suburbs
others,
can
attract
big
employers
that
don't
necessarily
locate
in
our
city
and
it
hasn't
really
brought
and
yielded
benefits
and
they've,
never
really
come
before
us
and
proven
that
they're
they're
delivering
on
that.
In
my
humble
opinion,
I
also
in
number
six.
G
I
have
big
concerns
about
this
500
000
staying
in
the
police
department
for
the
early
warning
system
that
we
were
promised.
They
would
deliver
to
us
in
2007
and
again
repeatedly
term
after
term
after
term,
and
they
failed
to
do
so.
I
prepared
a
motion
to
move
that
into
civil
rights
last
budget.
It
was
unsuccessful.
I
would
like
to
bring
another
one
forward
too,
and
I
would
like
some
clarity
on
that
in
terms
of
that
grant
dollars.
G
Once
we
get
the
grant
dollars
in
the
city
budget,
we
have
the
discretion
of
of
implementing
those
in
a
way
that's
to
our
liking.
So
we
could
potentially
move
that
500
000
to
the
coordinator's
office
or
if
we
had
a
new
public
safety
department
there
or
maybe
to
help
I
mean
to
implement
that
early
warning
system
or
because
hr
would
certainly
be
a
good
fit
for
it
as
well.
So
maybe
I
could
get
an
answer
on
the
question
there
about.
C
Okay,
council,
member
gordon,
I'm
going
to
suggest
from
all
of
your
comments,
I'm
going
to
suggest
two
things
and
to
do
it
in
this
order.
First,
I
think
that
what
you're
saying
about
the
city
coordinator,
one-time
contract
dollars,
the
88
plus
thousand,
if
you
want
that
to
be
more
in
the
council's
purview,
I
don't
see
you
needing
to
break
something
out
of
this
for
that
purpose.
C
Rather,
I
think
you
could
simply
amend
it
to
say
in
the
city
council
office
or
to
the
city
clerk,
and
we
could
invite
that
change
to
happen
if
you
would
like
and
then.
Secondly,
I'm
going
to
ask,
I
think
the
budget
director
to
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
those
grant
dollars
in
part
six,
because
that
goes
to
how
we
accepted
a
grant
in
a
council
action.
G
Well,
yeah
for
that
item
I
think
I
was
pretty
clear.
It
probably
did
more
than
allude
to
my
desire
to
move
to
the
council,
but
I
would
that's
something
I
would
like
to
have
considered.
Obviously
I'd
like
to
hear
about
the
500
000-
and
I
know
that
I
lost
on
that
vote
earlier
when
we
accepted
it
and
moved
it
to
that
department,
but
that
was
us
doing
it,
so
we
could
move
it
to
another
department.
C
F
Yes,
thank
you,
chair
palmisano,
and
thank
you
councilmember
gordon,
so
today's
work
will
be
moving.
The
general
fund
appropriation
that
was
going
to
the
police
department
for
this
purpose
out
to
other
departments,
as
you
can
see
in
items
like
one
through
five,
so
there
won't
be
any
more
general
funds
appropriated
to
the
eis
system
to
move
so
then
we're
getting
into
something.
That's
not
quite
my
area
of
expertise,
but
I'll
give
my
best
to
answer
right
now.
G
Well,
maybe
you
could
send
me
a
copy
of
that
grant
after
the
meeting
or
somebody
could
so
that
I
could
see
that
we've
signed
something
that
says
it's
committed
to
one
department
or
another.
That
would
be
a
little
bit
surprising
for
me,
but
it's
possible
that
they
actually
wanted
to
do
that,
and
wouldn't
it
be
interesting,
we
have
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
the
budget
right
now
we
could
spend
on
eis
and
we
could
freely
move
to
another
department.
We
could
return
the
grant
money
and
say
thank
you
very
much
bull
ads.
G
We
appreciate
you
trying
to
influence
us,
but
we
can
handle
this
on
our
own
and
move
that
which
would
be
great.
I
still
think
we
should
probably
divide
this
issue,
but
if
you'd
entertain
a
motion
to
amend
number
four
to
say:
increase
expenses
to
the
city
council
by
eighty,
eight
thousand,
six
hundred
and
thirty
one
time
for
contract
dollars
to
prepare
the
policy
and
ordinance
changes
required
to
implement
the
government
structure
change.
If
I
got
a
second
on
that,
that
would
be
fine,
I
don't
have
it
written
and
I'm
sorry
about
that.
C
I'm
sorry,
council,
member
gordon,
you
could
either
repeat
that
or
what
I
was
going
to
suggest.
That
I
was
just
writing
here.
Is
a
friendly
amendment
amending
the
item
for
to
strike
the
city
coordinator
and
replace
it
with
city
council,
leaving
the
rest
of
that
part.
As
stated
that.
C
Is
that
what
okay?
So
yes,
I
I
I
well
accept,
through
this
conversation,
a
friendly
amendment
to
amend,
item
four
and
strike
the
city
coordinator
and
replace
it
with
city
council.
I
won't
show
you
my
messy
handwriting
here,
but
I'm
going
to
ask
the
clerk,
or
can
we
just
talk
through
this
change?
It
literally
replaces
city
coordinator
in
part,
four
with
city
council.
C
So
now
the
the
motion
includes
that
piece
of
part.
Four,
I
hear
your
comments
council,
member
gordon,
is
there
anything
else
that
you
want
to
do
right
now
on
this
item
before
I
go
to
the
next
people
in
queue.
G
No
I'd
like
to
be
instructed
later,
if
we
can
vote
if
we
can
divide
this
somehow.
So
if
I
wanted
to
say,
for
example,
to
vote
no
on
number
five,
I
could
do
so
or
if
it's
a
whole
package.
L
L
I
think
it's
pretty
critical
points
that
I
want
to
make
sure
aren't
getting
lost
like
I
appreciate
the
council
member
fletcher
bringing
up
that
this
is
you
know
the
council
giving
up
its
power,
but
I
I
want
to
make
a
point
that
it's
much
much
more
than
that
the
city
voted
to
consolidate
a
large
amount
of
power
into
one
person
without
a
plan,
and
that's
going
to
be
something
that
I
think
we're
going
to
have
to
really
be
careful
about,
and
this
is
one
part
like
having
the
kind
of
the
transparency
and
the
accountability
is
a
check
on
government.
L
You
know
some
of
the
issues
that
that
could
happen,
and
so
I,
while
these
are
all
really
good
things
that
will
be,
you
know,
I
think,
will
vote
all
in
favor
of
it
does
set
a
precedent
that
I
think
it's
important
to
note
that
you
know
we
want
to
make
sure
that
there
is
an
open,
transparent
policy,
that
there
is
accountability
to
the
public
that
elects
us
into
office
on
number
three
just
want
to
give
a
little
bit
of
background.
L
I
have
been
a
huge
supporter
of
this
for
a
long
time
and
just
to
give
my
colleagues
a
better
idea.
This
is
the
city's
part
of
a
hope.
What
is
hopefully
a
matching
grant.
We've
been
working
with
the
bloomberg
philanthropies
for
for
years
now,
and
we
are
actually
one
of
ten
cities
in
the
world
that
is
really
working
on
biochar
at
the
scale
that
other
that
is,
you
know,
put
us
really
at
the
head
of.
What's
going
on
globally,
around
regenerative
agriculture
and
reducing
our
carbon,
it's
really
critical.
L
The
city
doesn't
have
anything
like
this,
and
in
fact
most
cities
in
the
world
do
not
have
anything
like
this.
So
I'm
really
excited
about
where
we
are
I'll
be
very
highly
supporting
number
three.
I
want
to
thank
the
the
team
that
we
like
we're
only
in
this
global
ranking
because
of
the
amazing
staff.
That's
really
been
built
into
a
huge
team,
so
I'm
happy
to
support
it
and
hope
my
colleagues
do
as
well.
C
Thank
you,
council,
member
schrader.
I
also
have
a
biochar
pilot
in
my
ward.
That's
been
going
on
for
a
few
years
now,
but
I'm
going
to
call
on
director
patrick
hanlon
if
he
is
available
and
on
the
call
just
to
share
a
couple
of
details,
because
you
touched
on
some
of
them,
but
I'd
like
him
to
maybe
just
say
a
little
bit
more
about
where
we're
at,
and
why
this
money
would
be
really
useful.
Now
welcome
director.
M
Sure,
thank
you.
My
name
is
patrick
hanlon,
I'm
the
director
of
environmental
programs.
Thank
you,
chair
palmisano,
council
members,
yeah.
So
biochar
is
a
soil
amendment
that
we've
been
running.
We've
been
doing
programs
here
in
minneapolis,
including
in
your
award
council
member
palmisano,
and
many
of
the
other
awards
out
there,
including
especially
focused
in
environmental
justice
areas.
We've
done
projects
at
little
earth,
we've
done
urban
farms,
urban
gardens.
M
I
have
been
doing
roadway
projects
with
hennepin
county
recently.
I
have
done
park
board
projects
with
tree
planting.
It's
a
soil
amendment
that
improves
the
soil
health
of
our
urban
soils.
Here
in
minneapolis,
it's
we
try,
like
I
said
we
try
to
focus
on
environmental
justice,
so
focus
we're
currently
working
with
environmental
initiative.
M
If
we
we've
been
purchasing
biochar
since
2013,
if
we're
able
to
get
this
funding
to
start
producing
biochar
with
the
leveraging
of
the
bloomberg
dollars
like
calcium
infrastructure
mentioned,
we'll
get
it'll
be
leveraging
400
dollars
there
and
then
another
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
the
sustainability
directors
network
and
the
project.
I
should
also
mention
that
the
project
will
be
revenue
neutral,
so
we'll
be
able
to
have
full
cost
recovery
on
the
program
going
forward,
so
the
project
will
pay
for
itself
once
once
it's
set
up
and
then
the
byproduct
of
all.
M
This
is
that
it
sequesters
carbon
for
between
1
and
2
000
years,
and
it
will
be
the
first
carbon
sequestration
project
in
minneapolis,
and
this
will
be
a
nationally
leading
project
across
across
the
country
in
terms
of
addressing
climate
change
and
if
there's
any
other
questions
that
I
may
have
missed,
be
open
to
take
those
questions
on
the
on
the
project.
C
Sure
I
there
are
other
people
in
queue,
but
I
don't
know
for
which
topic.
So
I
will
just
ask
if
anybody
has
another
question
for
director
hanlon
on
the
biochar
topic
specifically,
did
you
want
to
go
ahead
and-
and
let
me
know
I'm
not
seeing
any
at
this
time.
Thank
you
director.
E
Thanks,
madam
chair,
let's
see,
I
wondered
if
we
could
get
more
information
about
item
five,
which
is
the
hundred
thousand
dollar
increase
for
the
greater
msp
partnership.
C
Sure,
director,
kruver
or
coordinator
johnston,
I
think,
would
probably
be
most
appropriate
for
that.
I
think
I'll.
What
do
you
think
director
cooper.
F
Chair
palmisano,
I
can
start
off
with
a
high-level
description
while
coordinator
johnson
has
more
detail
on
that.
The
coordinator's
office
operates
the
part
partnerships
program,
but
just
a
high
level
description.
This
is
membership
in
greater
msp,
which
is
a
group
that
does
economic
development
activities
for
cities
all
around
the
twin
cities
area.
F
So
that's
the
high
level
description.
I
think
that
program
details
either
or
I
know
that
director
brennan
might
have
some
information
too.
If,
if
coordinator
johnston
is
unavailable.
E
F
Council
president
bender,
I
can't
answer
that
one
and
thank
you,
chair
palmisano,
so
this
was
part
of
our
partnership's
budget
in
2020.
In
2021,
the
partnership's
budget
was
cut
in
an
ongoing
way
to
manage
the
reductions
that
were
made
in
that
year's
budget.
There
was
one-time
dollars.
There
were
one-time
dollars
added
to
the
coordinator's
office
that
were
not
added
in
the
original
budget
of
20
for
2022.
F
So
the
only
funding
that
we
have
that
goes
to
greater
msp
comes
through
this
partnership's
budget
in
the
coordinators
department.
So
this
would
just
essentially
be
our
membership
payment,
integrator
msp,
and
it
is
the
only
contribution
that
we
make
in
all
of
our
city
funds
to
greater
msp.
C
It's
also
my
understand
me,
my
understanding,
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong
director
that
we
have
pulled
back
on
this
payment
these
past
couple
of
years,
when
we
redid
the
2020
budget,
did
we
not
cut
this.
F
Yes
and
it's
been
funded,
125
000,
I
believe,
is
the
membership
amount.
So
savings
has
been
used
by
the
coordinator's
office
to
maintain
that
and
in
one
time
funding
has
been
added,
so
the
ongoing
funds
were
cut
in
the
2021
budget
as
a
cost-saving
measure.
C
Yeah
I'll
invite
director
brennan
to
add
a
couple.
Other
comments
welcome
director.
N
One
is
that
greater
msp
has
has
stepped
forward
and
is
convening
a
group
of
local
government
agencies
in
the
metropolitan
area,
so
all
of
the
counties
and
the
cities
to
to
help
make
sure
that
we
are
seeking
and
applying
for
all
of
the
federal
funds
that
are
available
for
economic
recovery
and
investment
in
key
industries,
including
bio
industries
and
so
they're
they're
being
responsive
to
the
the
moment,
and
I
think
playing
a
really
important
role
in
in
you
know,
making
our
region
more
competitive
for
potentially
additional
federal
funds,
and
they
have
taken
the
lead
in
submitting
funding
requests
to
the
economic
development
authority
federal
agency.
N
So
they
they
are.
I
would
say
you
know
when
the
city
has
historically
supported
this
economic
development
partnership.
This
is
a
a
new
role
that
they
are
are
playing,
and
I
think,
is
important
in
this
moment.
E
Thank
you,
that's
helpful.
I
appreciate
the
extra
context
and
background
I
did
also
just
want
to
quickly
clarify,
and
then
I'm
done.
I
think
on
these.
Your
customer
gordon
made
a
few
comments
on
item
six
that
I
thought
might
be
a
bit
confusing
for
folks
who
may
be
following
along.
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
some
of
the
history
of
this,
so
the
city
has
funded
an
early
intervention
system
many
times
in
the
past
in
the
police
department.
It
has
never
been
implemented.
E
When
the
grant
came
through
committee
a
couple
of
months
ago,
there
was
a
motion
to
move
it
out
of
the
police
department
and
into
finance
or
I.t
in
order
to
try
to
provide
some
more,
you
know,
oversight
and
some
maybe
assurance
that
it
would
actually
get
done
this
time.
That
vote
failed.
I
voted
for
it
and
would
certainly
support
that
move
and
have
many
times,
but
it
failed
in
committee.
E
So
this
you
know
just
to
kind
of
read
it
and
clarify
this
motion
today
would
decrease
that
funding,
because
it
has
been
that
was
in
the
mayor's
original
proposed
budget
for
mpd
to
add
500
000
to
mpd,
specifically
to
do
this
earlier
intervention
system,
again
adding
money
to
the
department
that
has
been
changed
and
covered
by
the
grant.
E
So
this
would
cut
the
money
from
the
police
department
and
use
it
to
fund
the
other
additional
items
that
are
in
this
motion,
certainly,
like
I
think
you
summarized,
and
the
finance
director
or
budget
director
summarized
you
know
if
there
was
interest
in
shifting
the
the
activity
from
mpd
to
a
different
department
that
could
come
as
an
amendment.
But
again
we
had
that
vote
a
couple
of
months
ago
and
it
failed
thanks.
C
C
Both
mayors
of
saint
paul
and
minneapolis
are
on
this
board
a
number
of
smaller
cities,
nearby
suburbs
and
further
away
suburbs,
and
I
know
I'm
just
I
put
the
link
in
the
chat,
but
I'm
just
listing
a
couple
of
the
municipalities
that
are
involved
mayo
clinic
some
of
the
larger
like
fortune.
100
kinds
of
companies
are
also
on
this
list,
but
the
second
link
would
help
to
just
share
a
little
bit
more
about
who
all
the
people
are
at
the
table
for
greater
msp
council
member
fletcher.
You
are
next.
I
Thank
you,
sir
palmisano.
I
wanted
to.
I
I
partially
got
in
cue
to
ask
the
same
question
that
that
council,
president
bender,
did
about
about
greater
msp,
and
I
appreciate
getting
a
little
more
context
on
that.
I
I
just
want
to
know
from
my
colleagues
so
first
of
all,
I
I
don't
think
that
I'm
hearing
energy
around
sort
of
changing
course
on
this
this
in
this
budget
cycle.
I
So
I
do
just
want
to
sort
of
encourage
for
the
future
for
this
to
not
become
the
norm
for
for
the
mayor
to
bring
forward
a
large
substantive
package
like
this,
without
more
collaboration
with
with
the
council,
but
one
thing
that
I
am
interested
in
that
I've
I've
talked
to
many
of
you
about
is,
is
I
I
think
item
two
is
still
inadequate.
I
I
think
particularly
because
the
civil
rights
department
is
underfunded
or
is,
is
understaffed
right
now
and
so
there's
there's
potentially
not
as
many
resources
as
we
even
attempted
to
allocate
in
the
budget
for
labor
standards
enforcement.
I
think
increasing
the
co-enforcement
budget
beyond
what
we
had
last
year
would
be
a
good
thing.
I.
I
I
think
I'm
I
was
interested
in
potentially
moving
the
greater
msp
dollars
to
that
bucket.
I
I
think
I'm
gonna
hold
off
on
that
for
today,
because
I
haven't
had
a
chance
to
talk
to
people
about
it,
but
I'll
just
flag
that,
given
the
concerns
that
the
budget
director
has
raised
about
general
fund
sources-
or
you
know
about
spending
out
of
the
general
fund-
that
we
are
seeking
a
source
for
this-
and
I
would
say
that
I'll
probably
vote
this
through
today,
but
but
flag-
that
this
may
be
a
source
that
we
come
back
for
monday
or
wednesday,
because
I'm
not
sure
that
our
membership
at
greater
msp
feels
as
important
to
me
as
making
sure
that
there's
adequate
labor
enforcement
resources
to
protect
vulnerable
workers
in
our
community.
I
And
so
I
I
that
might
be
a
a
trade
that
I'll
propose
next
week.
I'd
be
interested
in
feedback
from
my
colleagues
about
that,
either
in
this
meeting
or
offline.
And
let's
continue
that
discussion.
I
But
I
think
that's
that
seems
to
be
where,
where
we're
heading
in
terms
of
this
vote,
is
that
we'll
probably
support
these
items,
but
but
with
with
some
amount
of
caution
about
process
and
about
establishing
norms
for
the
future
and
appreciate
the
conversation
on
that,
and
then
let's
sort
of
keep
keep
this
one
flagged
as
something
that
we
we
may
want
to
look
to
if
we
don't
find
a
better
source.
C
Thank
you,
council,
member
fletcher.
A
couple
of
comments
that
I
want
to
make
on
this
is
that,
first
historically,
the
precedent
is
that
the
mayor
works
with
the
budget
chair
to
do
exactly
these
kinds
of
things.
I
saw
that
happen
before
my
time
with
mayor
ryback.
That
always
happened
with
mayor
hodges
and
mayor
frye
has
done
the
same
thing
in
previous
years
and
he's
doing
it
again
here.
C
That
said,
I
really
do
hear
your
feedback
strongly
that
as
we
move
to
this
more
legislative
council
executive
mayor,
clearer
lines
of
authority,
it
would
be
really
good
to
make
this
change
and
to
do
so
in
a
structural
way
that
ties
us
into
working
together
more.
I
also
wanted
just
to
bring
to
your
attention
one
of
the
reasons
that
the
mayor
wishes.
You
know
this
question
the
part
two
and
part
five
is
part:
five,
the
greater
msp
partnership.
C
It's
been
one
time
funding,
as
long
as
I
can
remember,
and
part
of
that
is-
does
display
that
it
is
something
that
we
have
been
able
to
decrease
or
to
cut
during
hard
times.
C
I
also
want
to
appreciate
that
I
think
that
the
part
two
piece
of
having
this
roughly
114
thousand
dollars
is
ongoing
is
an
improvement
and
more
than
what
some
of
the
people
working
on
the
outside
to
to
talk
to
us
about
the
need
for
this
might
have
understood.
There
was
some
great
confusion
shortly
late
october
early
november
around
around
this
around
why
it
went
away
and
if
it
was
coming
back
and
everything-
and
this
is
this-
is
a
product
of
those
conversations
from
back
in
october,
councilmember
kano-
you
are
next
in
cube.
B
I
I
do
have
a
question
about
the
the
greater
msp
item
and
it's
more
about
sort
of
what
does
the
city
get
out
of
it
and
who,
who
from
the
city,
represents
our
voice
and
our
priorities
at
that
table,
as
well
as
how
that
work
translates
to
clear
and
tangible
and
measurable
racial
equity
outcomes
in
minneapolis,
particularly
now
in
the
time
when
there's
many
of
us
who
are
working
really
hard
to
rebuild
minneapolis
by
centering,
the
role
of
arts
and
culture,
the
creative
economy
and
racial
justice
without
displacing
residents
and
promoting
gentrification.
B
So
maybe
director
brennan
can
help,
and
and-
and
I
do
have
a
sort
of
membership
question-
and
I
don't
know
if
that's
more
for
amelia
or
somebody
else.
But
I'm
not
opposed
to
these
pay-to-play
models.
Where,
if
the
city
of
minneapolis
ponies
up
a
certain
amount
of
money,
then
that
means
we
get
to
direct
the
values,
the
outcomes
and
the
initiatives
of
certain
coalitions
and
tables.
B
You
really
do
have
to
drive
those
results
and
make
sure
that
they
are
aligning
with
the
rest
of
the
body
work
that
the
city
of
minneapolis
carries,
and
so
I
just
you
know,
did
some
quick,
quick
math
here
and
if
there
are
12
different
cities
or
jurisdictions
or
counties
paying
in
100
000
each
per
year,
that's
a
revenue
of
roughly
1.2
million
dollars,
and
so
it
is
a
sizable
amount,
if
you
start
to
think
about
the
twin
cities
region
and
how
different
members
play
pay
a
membership
into
that.
B
So
so
I'm
curious.
If
somebody
could
explain
you
know,
is
this
an
annual
membership
every
year?
And
if
yes,
who,
how
many
other
people
are
paying
a
membership?
B
Are
we
talking
about
50
different
partners,
paying
a
hundred
thousand
dollars,
or
just
like
three
or
four
different
members,
paying
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
and
then,
specifically,
how
is
our
money
into
this
partnership
explicitly
advancing
racial
equity
and
racial
justice
within
the
city
of
minneapolis.
C
Thank
you,
council
member.
I
will
just
offer
that
greater
msp
is
a
non-profit
so,
similarly
to
other
kinds
of
initiatives
that
are
regional,
my
very
shallow
understanding
of
it
is
that
it
is.
It
is
about
getting
people
to
the
table,
and
I
would
anticipate
that.
Surely
you
know,
target
corporation
pays
a
different
fee
than
the
elco
new
market,
bell,
plain
members
and
I'm
not
sure
what
that's
based
off
of
or
what
that's
suggested,
and
I
will
ask
director
brennan
again
if
she
has
any
additional
input.
C
N
Sure,
thank
you,
madam
chair
councilmember
cano.
One
of
the
things
that
greater
msp
is
doing,
like
I
said
is
it
earlier,
is
that
they
are
convening
all
of
the
regional
public
partners,
so
all
of
the
cities
and
counties
in
in
the
metro,
metropolitan
area-
and
I
mentioned
that
they
had
submitted
an
application
to
the
as
part
of
the
buildback,
better
regional
challenge
grant
proposal,
and
this
is
for
what
they're
calling
a
bold
north,
bio
innovation,
cluster
phase.
One
concept,
there's
a
proposal
that
they've
drafted
it's
pretty
detailed
and
comprehensive.
N
So
I
would
be
happy
to
get
that
from
them
and
send
that
out
to
all
of
you.
So
you
can
see
as
an
example
one
of
the
things
that
they
are
doing
on
behalf
of
our
region,
and
one
of
the
key
components
of
this
proposal
is
employment
and
training.
You
know
focus,
and
particularly
targeting
low-income
communities
of
color
and
making
sure
that
there
is
very,
very
strong
training
and
and
workforce
development
component
of
this
work.
N
So
I
again,
I
would
be
happy
to
send
out
to
get
a
copy
of
the
proposal
and
to
send
that
to
all
of
you.
So
you
can
see
that
as
an
example
of
some
of
the
work
that
they
are
leading
for
our
region
right
now,.
B
Yes,
thank
you
director
brennan
for
that
information.
I
think
that
absolutely
we
should
get
a
copy
of
that
proposal
or
or
grant
submittal
to
better
understand
how
it
translates
to
the
granular
work
of
our
commercial
corridors,
our
cultural
corridors
across
the
city
and,
again,
I'm
not
opposed
to
a
pay-to-play
model.
I
just
think
that
in
this
moment
in
time,
when
there
are
literally
dozens
and
dozens
of
convening
of
tables
that
are
convening
on
lake
street,
I
think
we
have
five
five
different
tables
that
convene
with,
like
literally
the
same
people.
B
It's
the
same
people
reconfigured
in
different
ways.
I
really
worry
about
sort
of
the
diluting
sort
of
duplicating
efforts,
and
you
know,
are
we
getting
the
most
for
our
money
and
and
sort
of
what?
What
specifics
are
you
know
our
immigrant
entrepreneurs
getting
from
from
these
resources,
our
bipark
business
owners?
You
know
what
is
that
translatability
work?
How
does
that
happen?
What
does
that
look
like?
How
does
that
feel,
and
and
can
we
have
a
greater
connections
between
the
two,
because
there
are
so
many
different
people?
B
I
think
that
are
trying
to
advance
the
same
conversation
but
oftentimes
they're
not
really
talking
to
each
other
or
connecting.
So
if,
if
we
are
going
to
invest
in
this
in
a
continued
way,
how
is
this
work
being
connected
actively
proactively
connected
to
boots
on
the
ground,
to
ensure
that
it's
not
a
lot
of
grasshopps
leaders
making
decisions
for
on
the
backs
of
people
of
color
and
immigrant
community
members
in
in
our
neighborhoods?
B
So
it
would
be
great
to
to
really
better
understand
what
is
that
racial
equity
impact?
How
much
money
are
we
talking
about?
What
are
the
timelines?
What
are
the
numbers,
how
many
new
jobs
have
been
created?
What
doors
are
being
open
to
undocumented
workers?
You
know
these
kinds
of
specifics
would
be
really
helpful
and-
and
I
I
work
with
some
members
on
greater
msp-
I
know
you
know
some
of
them.
B
I've
been
to
some
other
events,
so
it's
not
that
they're
a
foreign
entity
to
me,
but
it
is
really
about
strategically.
How
efficient
and
effective
is
this
investment
and
it's
not
to
be
malicious,
but
it
is
really
to
to
call
the
question
about.
Are
we
getting
you
know
what
we
need
out
of
this
money,
and,
and
what
else
do
we
need
to
introduce
into
this
conversation,
to
make
sure
that
we
are
so
would
appreciate
that
and
not
not
really
sure
what
what
it
means
for
this
vote
today?
B
I
I
could
go
either
way
on
this
in
terms
of
number
five.
Thank
you.
C
Sure
I
did
ask
fatima
our
intergovernmental
relations
director
if
she
wanted
to
have
any
more,
but
she
did
say
she'll
work
with
director
brennan
to
offer
additional
information
for
those
interested.
C
L
H
D
A
D
L
C
Thank
you
that
motion
carries,
and
I
will
say
it's
with
the
friendly
amendment
in
part
four,
to
instead
direct
that
money
to
the
city
council.
Instead
of
to
the
city
coordinators,
we
further
our
efforts
in
implementing
charter
amendment
question
one
moving
on
to
the
third
amendment,
I'm
going
to
ask
director
kruver
to
help
give
us
more
information
about
this
one.
F
Thank
you,
chair
palmisano,
so
this
is
an
amendment
to
increase
funding
for
an
existing
capital
project
referred
to
often
as
the
city
hall
restack
project.
This
would
increase
funding
by
1.7
million
dollars
and
the
to
give
a
little
bit
of
background.
There
was
a
standalone
capital
project
that
was
included
in
deliberations
on
the
capital
budget
this
year
to
fund
improvements
in
the
9-1-1
center.
F
F
Since
we've
worked
with
our
director
of
property
services,
barbara
o'brien,
to
figure
out
is
there
something
else
we
can
do
taking
advantage
of
the
timing
of
the
city
hall
restack
project,
where
improvements
are
being
made
up
and
down
city
hall?
Many
of
you,
I'm
sure,
have
seen
the
construction
going
on
in
the
halls
when
you've
been
in.
So
there
is
some
savings
that
can
be
captured
by
doing
this
work
at
the
same
time
that
mbc
and
the
city
is
doing
overall
improvements
to
city
hall.
F
So
this
is
essentially
improving
the
area
that
911
is
in
and
moving
them
up
a
floor,
so
they
will
be
in
the
basement
and
first
floor
or
in
ground
floor
rather
than
the
basement
in
some
basement.
So
these
are
improvements
that
I
know
our
partners
and
911
have
been
seeking
for
several
years
and
we
were
able
to
accommodate
it
in
our
budget
due
to
sort
of
the
better
information
about
our
bond
sale
and
the
proceeds
that
will
be
able
to
be
available
so
happy
to
stand
for
any
questions
on
this
amendment.
C
Thank
you
for
describing
that
much
better
than
I
could.
I
know
that
others
have
been
more
deeply
involved
on
this
project
than
I,
especially
the
people
who
had
been
working
on
some
of
the
building
projects
like
our
new
public
service
building,
and
I
thank
my
colleagues
for
that
work.
Council,
member
johnson.
O
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
This
is
more
just
a
question
on
logistics
here.
I
know
that
you
mentioned
ground
floor
and
basement
ground
floor
as
well
just
wondering
kind
of
any
points
around
security
if
we
think,
for
instance,
about
the
civil
unrest
and
how
important
continuity
of
9-1-1
was
and
also
how
city
hall
was.
O
Potentially
a
focal
point
of
protests,
and
perhaps
people
trying
to
get
into
the
building
depending
on
how
the
situation
could
have
escalated
right
now.
One
of
the
advantages
is
of
the
current
basement
is
having
a
little
more
security
control
over
that
from
an
operational
standpoint.
So
I
guess
I'm
wondering
if
you
could
talk
through
any
kind
of
considerations
around
that.
O
I
also
understand,
since
it's
security
related,
it
may
not
be
appropriate
to
have
that
conversation
out
in
the
open
like
this,
so
I'm
happy
to
have
that
conversation
offline
as
well,
but
I
did
at
least
want
to
mention
that,
since
the
decide
was
coming
before
us.
C
O
Yes,
thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
might
just
procedurally
abstain
on
this
one
until
I
get
my
questions
answered
offline.
Thank
you
sure.
P
P
It
is
the
leading
problem
amongst
our
employees,
the
fact
that
they
are
in
the
basement-
and
there
are
all
sorts
of
environmental
and
water
and
air
quality
issues
in
that
space
and
for
too
long
we
have
treated
these
employees
as
though
they
are
so
essential
that
they
have
to
be
in
this
basement,
and
I
did
look
at
whether
or
not
we
could
put
the
911
function
in
the
new
city
office
building.
That
would
be
something
to
ask.
P
We
have
an
open
floor,
but
it
turns
out
that
moving
all
of
that
equipment
across
the
street
is
what
makes
the
cost
be.
Six
million
dollars
and
moving
the
equipment
up
one
floor
just
basically
allows
them
to
you
know
kind
of
create
these
cones
that
they
move
the
wires
up,
and
so
they
really
have
to
be
kind
of
above
where
they
are
in
order
to
get
them
out
of
the
basement.
We
generally
probably
wouldn't
choose
to
put
911
in
a
public
place,
but
to
be
fair,
open
windows.
P
Access
to
outside,
better
air
quality
are
critical
for
these
employees
who
are
doing.
I
think
what
we
would
all
agree
is
an
extremely
stressful
job.
I
will
remind
everyone
that
the
city
shares
this
building,
not
our
new
public
service
center,
but
the
city
hall,
building
itself
with
the
county
and
that
we
share
in
the
expenses
in
a
60,
40
split,
but
all
capital
expenses
that
serve
just
the
needs
of
the
city
are
100
our
responsibility.
P
So
I
am
happy
that
we've
been
able
to
find
some
funding
in
order
to
make
this
happen
I'll.
Throw
in
my
editorial
comment
that
I
don't
think
we
need
to
have
our
own
9-1-1
system.
We
probably
should
be
merged
with
the
county,
but
that
said,
we
should
move
forward
with
this,
because
we
it's
very
hard
to
keep
employees
in
9-1-1
as
it
is-
and
I
know
many
of
you
most
of
you-
have
done
more
work
on
9-1-1
than
me,
but
after
serving
on
the
building
commission
board
for
eight
no
two
non-consecutive
terms
for
eight
years.
C
Thank
you
and
thank
you
for
being
part
of
the
building
commission.
That
is
a
pretty
thankless
job.
Almost
all
of
the
time
council
member
fletcher.
I
Thank
you,
chuck
palmisano.
I
know
the.
I
First
of
all,
I'm
very
supportive
of
this.
I,
the
workers,
have
wanted
this
for
a
long
time
and
I
think
councilmember
goodman's
points
are
absolutely
right
about
access
to
light
and
I
think
we
we
do
have
an
obligation
to
those
workers,
so
I'm
supportive
of
the
investment
I
I
do
just
want
to
make
sure
I
understand
what
the
source
is.
I
know
when
we're
making
a
capital
project
investment,
we're
talking
about
probably
increasing
what
we
go
to
the
bond
market
for
so
that'll.
I
Have
some
long-term
debt
service
implications,
probably
fairly
minimal
in
the
grand
scheme
of
things
in
a
city
budget
to
do
1.7
million
in
in
bonding?
But
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we
understand
what
what
what
the
implications
are
of
this
in
terms
of
our
our
overall
obligations.
F
F
One
is
that
when
we
have
old
bonds
that
we
have
collected
money
to
repay,
but
we've
repaid
them
and
they're,
they
are
the
issuances
are
put
to
sleep
and
we
truly
have
money
left
over
that
can
be
used
flexibly.
So,
after
a
thorough
analysis
of
our
debt
service
payments
existing
bonds,
we
were
able
to
free
up
some
cash
in
that
way.
Then
the
second
part
is
just
having
more
favorable
conditions
in
our
bond
sale
so
that
we
have
a
flexible
money
to
be
able
to
spend
on
this
than
we
had
anticipated.

That
item
carries
we're
going
to
move
on
to
motion
number
four,
it's
authored
by
council
member
johnson.
This
is
pursuant
to
a
memo
that
I
sent.
I
think
it
was
mid-october
about
reminding
us
all
of
the
ordinance
that
we
created
actually
in
the
very
beginning
of
this
term,
which
was
about
how
we
would
consider
future
salary
adjustments
for
the
council
and
mayor's
salaries.
C
O
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I'd
like
to
move
motion
number
four.
Would
you
like
me
to
read
the
whole
thing
or
just
now,
therefore
be
recalled.
O
Certainly
well,
this
is
bring
forward
and
we're
bringing
it
forward
at
this
time
too.
Councilmember
gordon
and
I
worked
on
an
ordinance
to
increase
transparency
by
having
this
come
forward
through
our
budget
process
and
so
there's
time
for
the
public
to
see
and
be
able
to
react
or
speak
to
this
as
well,
and
so
there's
advanced
notice
and
in
this
really
we're
not
increasing
the
salary
by
a
fixed
amount.
Like
last
time
last
term.
O
Because
of
that
adjustment
and
given
the
economic
circumstances,
this
does
include
a
cost
of
living
adjustment
in
there
for
both
the
mayor
and
the
council,
and
then
it
directs
city
staff
to
undertake
a
comprehensive
analysis
that
could
be
used
next
time
at
the
end
of
next
term.
For
consideration,
and
I
will
stand
for
any
questions.
C
Well,
here
wait
first,
council
member
johnson
has
made
this
motion.
Is
there
a
second
second
council
member,
gordon,
also
an
author
of
our
new
protocol?
Thank
you
has
seconded
that
motion.
A
C
Thank
you
that
motion
carries
colleagues,
I
do
want
to
mention
that
we
are
approaching
the
noon
hour.
I
don't
think
there's
any
way
we
will
get
done
with
our
all
of
these
amendments
before
hunger
gets
the
best
of
us
here,
and
so
I
am
going
to
suggest
that
we
we
go
for
another
20
minutes
roughly
and
see
how
many
more
of
these
we
get
through
and
then
we'll
take
a
30
minute
recess
for
lunch.
C
E
Thanks,
madam
chair,
this
amendment
is
one
way
to
implement
our
right
to
council
ordinance
that
was
unanimously
adopted
by
the
city
council
and
either
signed
or
returned
by
the
mayor
earlier
this
year,
and
we
have
identified
some
one-time
funding
sources
for
the
legal
services
needed
to
help
folks
who
are
facing
eviction
in
our
court
system.
But
there
is
currently
no
ongoing
funding
in
any
budget
for
for
this
use.
E
This
is,
you
know
a
fraction
of
the
total
cost,
but
we
also
are
developing
strong
partnerships
with
hennepin
county,
which
is
increasing
funding
for
this
use,
and
I
think
there
is
increased
interest
in
this
from
community
partners
as
well,
so
over
time,
as
this
becomes
more
integrated
into
our
housing
systems
in
the
state
of
minnesota
and
hennepin
county
in
our
city.
You
know,
I
think
there'll
be
more
and
more
support,
so
we
thought
this
was
a
good
start
and
the
funding
source
is
our
affordable,
housing
trust
fund.
E
Luckily,
because
our
inclusionary
zoning
policy
is
so
successful,
we've
raised
three
million
dollars
worth
of
funding
that
can
be
used
to
provide
for
the
up
for
the
uses
in
the
affordable
housing
trust
fund.
E
This
change
shouldn't
impact
our
ability
to
preserve
or
build
affordable
housing.
In
fact,
we
have
more
money
from
that
successful
ordinance
to
invest.
Thank
you.
C
Thank
you,
so
council
member
bander
moves
this
motion,
which
is
taking
250
000
out
of
the
affordable
housing
trust
fund
and
availing
it
for
legal
services
for
renters,
and
would
council
members
ellison
or
gordon
like
to
second
this
amendment.
C
Q
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
don't
want
to
add
too
much
just
to
just
to
say
that
this
is
for
folks
who
are
out
at
home.
This
isn't
just
as
council
president
said.
This
doesn't
represent
the
total
that
we'll
be
putting
towards
this
effort,
but
this
represents
a
an
amount
in
ongoing
sources,
and
I
think
that
in
the
future
you
know
we're
going
to
need
this
service.
The
city
of
minneapolis
is
going
to
need.
Renters
in
minneapolis
are
going
to
are
going
to
need
legal
representation.
Q
Q
I
think
you
know
it's
proven
that
not
only
do
renters
need
legal
representation
when
they're
in
when
they're,
when
they're
facing
eviction,
but
also
that,
even
when
the
issue
is
non-payment,
rent
that
that
the
outcomes
for
renters
with
legal
representation
tend
to
be
better,
that
they
avoid
ending
up
out
on
the
street,
and
so
just
want
to
co-sign
this
and
can't
say
it
any
better
than
council
president
bender.
But
I
hope
that
all
my
colleagues
support
this
and
thank
you.
C
H
C
G
G
It's
amending
the
2022
mayor's
recommended
budget
in
the
neighborhood
and
community
relations,
special
revenue
fund
by
increasing
expenditures
by
four
hundred
and
twenty
thousand
dollars,
increasing
transfers
from
another
fund,
01
snr
by
334
thousand
dollars
in
revenue
into
the
neighborhood
and
community
relations,
special
revenue
fund
by
the
same
amount
and
further
using
eighty
six
thousand
dollars
in
unused,
but
previously
allocated
funds
in
the
neighborhood
and
community
relations.
Special
revenue
fund
to
be
used
to
support
the
full
one-time
increase
in
spending
of
420
000.
G
Okay,
oh
thank
you
yeah,
so
this
is
money
that
would
essentially
add
five
thousand
dollars
in
base
funding
for
all
the
neighborhoods
throughout
the
city,
the
sources
I
worked
on
carefully
with
staff
and
finance,
and
also
in
ncr,
to
look
at
unallocated
money
that
what
we're
using
for
the
334
000
is
a
portion
of
interest
that
came
in
on
the
I
think,
roughly
26
million
dollars
that
we're
holding
from
nrp
funding.
So
there's
a
small
bit
of
money
relative
speaking
to
our
city
budget,
a
large
amount,
I
guess
of
interest.
G
It
comes
in
every
year
off
of
that,
and
this
is
using
a
small,
reasonably
sized.
I
guess
percentage
of
that
334
000
and
then
also
there's
86
000
in
money
that
was
set
aside
for
a
neighborhood
organization
that
never
formed
and
still
hasn't.
This
is
the
university
neighborhood.
Now,
if
it
does
form,
then
funding
will
come
its
way
in
the
future,
but
we
held
back
some
money
and
I
was
hoping
that
they
would
warm
and
develop
so
together
that
got
us
enough
money
so
that
we
could
increase
the
base
money
to
the
neighborhoods.
G
You
know
by
5
000
each.
I
was
actually
seeking
a
lot
more
money.
You
know
ifc
neighborhoods
working
really
hard
on
neighborhoods
2020
they're
working
hard
on
their
community
engagement,
and
some
of
them
are
still
struggling
on
the
base
funding
as
they
have
insurance
needs
and
and
basic
staffing
needs,
and
space
needs
like
that,
and
I
think
this
will
give
them
a
little
one-time
funding
support
and
my
hope
is
that
maybe
in
2022
we
can
come
up
with
some
different
mixes
of
funding.
So
we
can
have
a
better
balance.
G
I,
as
you
may
recall,
from
other
discussions
was
actually
hoping.
We
could
get
it
to
25
000
and
I
actually
was
hoping
we
could
put
more
money
into
our
equity
and
funding
for
the
neighborhoods
as
well.
But
this
is
where
I've
landed
for
today
and
I'd
appreciate
your
support.
C
C
Thank
you,
council
president
bender
council,
member
goodman.
P
I
just
want
to
thank
you,
council,
member
gordon,
I'm
really
grateful,
and
I
know
the
neighborhoods
will
be
really
grateful
and
I
think
it's
a
big
deal
that
you
did
this
work
behind
the
scenes
in
order
to
make
this
happen,
and
I
just
wanted
to
publicly
thank
you-
and
I
know
that
the
neighborhoods
that
have
been
such
a
strong
support
of
the
economic
recovery
and
all
of
their
mutual
aid
work
during
the
civil
unrest
is
being
somewhat
recognized.
Thanks.
I
Thank
you,
sir
palmisano.
I
wonder
councilmember
gordon,
can
you
clarify
that
86
000
is
coming
from
the
the
money
that
had
that
you
had
worked
and
that
I
had
supported
setting
aside
for
the
university
neighborhood
and
I
know
marcy
holmes
has
been
in
conversations
about.
I
You
know
some
sort
of
merger
and
I
think
those
funds
are
potentially
useful
for
that,
and
so
I
I'm
concerned
about
supporting
this
from
that
source.
I
just
want.
I
want
to
see
if
you
have
any
clarification
you
can
offer,
because
I
don't
want
to
undermine
a
ward,
3
neighborhood
in
their
efforts
to
create
a
merger
that
would
invite
some
university
residents
who
are
currently
unrepresented
in
a
neighborhood
association
into
a
neighborhood.
G
And
I
also
was
concerned
about
that
and
did
ask-
and
I
asked
steve
gallagher
about
it
and
karen
moe
and
got
assurances
that,
should
the
merger
form
should
the
organization
be
developed,
there
would
be
funding
then
to
go
towards
that,
but
they
had
in
the
course
of
the
year
or
maybe
it
was
even
a
little
bit
longer
that
we'd
had
these
funds
they
weren't
interested
or
able
to
access
them,
and
they
hadn't
formed
that
organization.
G
Yet
so
I've
been
assured
that
if
and
when
they
do
it,
I'm
hoping
that
they
will
in
some
form
or
another,
and
maybe
it
won't
be
an
official
neighborhood
organization.
You've
been
watching
it
carefully
with
me
and
they're
looking
at
options,
and
I
don't
know
if
anybody
is
here
from
staff
who
could
offer
those
reassurances
too,
but
I
did
ask
about
that
and
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
funds
would
be
available
for
them
when
they
get
organized
they
weren't
able
to
spend
them
to
help
with
the
organization.
At
this
point,
though,.
G
F
I
can
add
one
comment
karen
karen
was
here.
I
can
answer
a
budget
question
if
that's
all
right,
chair
palmisano,
I
would
just
say
that
this
this
is
using
funds
that
have
not
been
spent.
It
doesn't
impact
future
plan
spending
on
neighborhoods,
so
we're
not
doing
anything
to
take
out
way
allocations
for
a
potential
neighborhood
associate
or
neighborhood
in
the
future.
This
just
addressed
unspent
things
that
have
already
been
allocated,
but
I'll
defer
to
karen
moe
for
more
detail.
R
You
I'm
acting
director
karen
all
of
neighborhood
and
community
relations
and,
as
amelia
said,
that's
correct.
So
this
is
just
funds
that
have
been
allocated
in
the
past.
It
will
not
impact
any
future
funding.
So
if
those
organizations
merge
there
will
be
funding
made
available
to
all
of
the
neighborhoods
involved.
R
I
It
does
yeah.
Thank
you.
C
A
H
D
C
Thank
you.
This
motion
carries
colleagues,
I'm
going
to
pause
right
here
to
see
what
the
will
is
of
my
colleagues.
Would
you
like
to
power
through
and
see
how
long
it
takes
us
to
get
to
the
end?
If
not,
now
might
be
an
appropriate
time
for
a
pause
go
ahead
and
give
me
a
little
bit
more
feedback
here.
The
initial
comment
that
I've
seen
says
power
through.
C
How
about
this
we're
going
to
take
a
short
five
minute
break,
after
which
we
will
we're
going
to
recess
committee
for
just
five
minutes
to
allow
for
just
people
grabbing
a
quick
snack
or
whatever
they
might
need
in
these
five
minutes.
So,
mr
clerk,
is
it
appropriate
for
me
to
just
declare
a
pause
in
a
recess
and
say
we
will
reconvene
at
11
50
a.m,.
C
Colleagues
and
staff,
thank
you
for
being
with
us
and
the
watching
public.
We
are
going
to
take
a
five
minute
break
at
this
point.
In
time
we
will
reconvene
at
11
50.
C
All
right,
it's
11
50.
just
turned
into
11
51,
and
we
are
back
mr
clerk.
Do
we
want
to
see
about
a
roll
call,
or
should
we
just
assume
that
everybody
was
able
to
meet
that
five
minute
window.
C
Sounds
good
just
enough
time
to
try
and
make
a
quick
sandwich
and
make
a
huge
mess
in
my
kitchen
here.
C
So
here
we
go.
I
am
bringing
this
amendment
forward
in
collaboration
and
efforts
with
the
clerk's
office.
So
let
me
just
go
ahead.
We
did
not
do
roll
call
we're
just
going
to
move
on.
So
I'd
like
to
move
this
amendment.
Many
of
you
are
familiar
with
it
because
we've
been
trying
to
cobble
money
together
for
this
effort
in
the
past.
C
It
will
help
improve
the
reporting
capabilities
for
the
city's
elected
officials
and
essentially
the
source
of
this
is
leftover
award
budget
money
of
which
we
will
have
a
more
exact
number.
I
believe
right
before
budget
markup,
but
it
is
roughly
175
000
I'd
like
to
make
this
motion.
Is
there
a
second
on
this
motion.
C
Second,
thank
you.
I'm
going
to
call
that
one
for
fletcher
council
member
fletcher
seconds
the
motion
is
there
any
discussion?
I
also
have
clerk
casey
carl
who's,
able
and
ready
to
speak
to
some
of
the
details
of
this.
If
that
is
desired.
C
J
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
I
don't
need
to
belabor
the
point.
I
know
the
council
members
are
well
aware
of
this.
I
do
want
to,
however,
add
my
thanks
to
both
the
innovation
design
technology
members
of
the
clerk's
office,
grant
johnson
and
charlie
ito
for
their
work
on
this,
but
also
to
all
of
the
current
and
former
council
staff
who
have
worked
to
help
us
design.
J
We
actually
were
able
to
successfully
get
the
ongoing
maintenance
funding
already
into
the
budget.
This
funding
is
simply
to
complete
the
design
work
to
build
the
constituent
relationship
management
system,
which
we
hope
to
do
in
very
short
order
next
year.
So
this
would
give
us
the
ability
to
complete
design
and
implement,
and
then
we
have
the
maintenance
budget
already.
So
many
many
of
your
aides
contributed
to
both
the
needs
analysis
and
the
the
initial
design
phase.
J
C
Thank
you,
I'm
not
seeing
anybody
else
in
queue
for
discussion
at
this
time,
so
I'll
invite
the
clerk
to
please
call
the
roll
on
motion
number
seven
council
member
reich.
D
D
D
A
D
C
H
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
am
bringing
forth
this
amendment
to
identify
funds
to
support
a
a
poet
laureate
in
the
city
of
minneapolis.
We
have
a
statewide
fort
laureate.
We
have
a
saint
paul,
poor
laureate.
I
think
there's
a
st
louis
park
lawyer.
H
We
have
no
such
reality
in
the
city
of
minneapolis,
I've
been
working
with
councilmember
fletcher
and
the
arts
commission
staff
to
bring
this
work
forward.
I'm
really
excited
about
it.
The
funds
are
coming
from
the
the
budgeted
funds
to
the
new
arts
department
and
so
we're
not
necessarily
bringing
it
from
outside
source,
and
I
asked
my
colleagues
to
support
it,
and
I
thank
councilmember
gordon
for
the
second
second.
I
Thank
you,
sir
palmisano.
I
just
want
to
thank
council
vice
president
jenkins
for
her
collaboration
on
this.
This
was
something
that
several
of
my
constituents
have
very
persistently
asked
me
to
pursue,
and
it's
it's
a
very,
very
small
budget
item
in
the
grand
scheme
of
all
the
very
important
stuff
that
we're
funding
and
and
we're
we're
rightly
putting
most
of
our
efforts
into
public
safety
and
housing
and
and
the
the
big
weighty
issues
of
the
day.
I
But
I
think
it's
very
important
to
take
a
little
bit
of
time
to
and
a
little
bit
of
resources
to
make
our
city
a
little
more,
beautiful
and
and
and
to
add
art
as
as
a
part
of
our
city
processes.
And
I'm
excited
that
we're
gonna
be
able
to.
I
My
hope
is
that
by
by
setting
aside
this
very
small
amount
of
money
for
this,
that
we
also
create
a
platform
for
some
of
the
participants
to
raise
additional
funds
and
and
to
leverage
the
city's
support
into
into
building
a
more
robust
literary
program.
And
I'm
really
grateful
to
the
extremely
vibrant
and
active
literary
program
that
we
have
in
the
literary
community
that
we
have
in
the
twin
cities
that
is
supporting
this
and
that
has
stepped
up
to
participate
and
and
to
the
arts
commission.
I
This
was
really
a
good
opportunity
for
us.
You
know
they
had
asked
over
the
last
couple
of
years
for
the
council
to
engage
with
the
arts
commission
more,
and
this
gave
us
a
good
context
for
doing
that,
and
it's
been
a
very
positive
experience
and
they've
stepped
up
and
done
terrific
work
to
really
outline
and
and
define
the
the
program
and
and
help
us
get
to
this
point.
So
I'm
grateful
to
everybody.
I
Who's
worked
on
this
and
excited
that
we
can
set
this
up
as
a
program
as
a
new
thing
at
the
city.
C
G
Well,
I
appreciate
this
and
no
problem
with
the
funding.
I
actually
am
most
excited
about
the
fact
that
we're
going
to
have
a
poet
laureate
and
wanted
to
have
a
little
fun
with
this,
so
my
sister
was
actually
a
published
poet
and
she
was
poet
laureate
for
the
city
of
duluth
and
when
that
occurred,
I
was
a
little
bit
surprised
and
disappointed
that
minneapolis
didn't
have
a
poet
laureate
and
I'm
so
delighted
that
we
will
have
that
coming
forward
and
really
appreciate
council,
member
jenkins
and
fletcher
for
for
working
on
this.
C
Thank
you
and
I
love
the
promotion
of
your
sister.
I
also
forgot
when
I
was
introducing
this
to
note
that
jenkins
and
fletcher
are
both
the
authors
here.
It
was
wrong
on
my
sheet.
I
must
have
printed
it
out
a
little
bit
early.
Thank
you
for
both
of
your
work
on
this.
I
must
say
that
when
this
first
came
up
in
the
public
hearing
last
month,
I
did
reach
out
to
council.
H
G
Oh,
my
goodness,
okay,
if
she
has
short
ones,
I
can
read
a
little
bit.
Here's
one
called
untethering.
G
H
C
Seeing
nothing
further,
I
will
ask
the
clerk
to
please
call
the
roll
on
item
number.
Eight
council.
H
D
H
C
Next,
we
have
amendment
number
nine.
It
is
brought
by
council
members,
kano
and
gordon
which
who
shall
I
recognize
to
introduce
this
amendment
council,
member
cano.
A
Yeah,
I
can
go
first
and
then
I'll
share
with
councilmember
gordon.
A
Great
thank
you.
I
will
go
ahead
and
move
our
motion.
Madam
chair,
should
I
go
ahead
and
read
the
motion
and
then
wait
for
a
second.
C
A
Okay,
so
councilmember
gordon
and
I.
B
Have
a
motion
here
that
is
about
supporting
the
city
coordinator's
office,
the
sustainability
division
explicitly
with
a
100
000
one-time
fund
allocation
that
would
be
coming
from.
C
G
Thanks,
I
can
just
speak
to
this
briefly.
This
is
something
that
actually
came
from
the
green
zones.
They
were
asking
for
it
and
from
sustainability
staff.
It
was
something
I
believe
that
actually
they
were
asking
for
250
000.
It
didn't
make
it
into
the
mayor's
budget,
but
we
think
it's
something
very
valuable
and
maybe
the
work
can
be
accomplished
successfully
with
a
little
bit
less
money.
So
we
are
asking
for
a
thousand
dollars
in
one-time
funds
to
help
make
the
most
of
this
green
zones.
I
think
this
is.
G
The
green
zones
is
really
a
sweet
spot
for
us,
where
we
can
look
at
how
we
address
climate
change
and
even
in
a
daily
basis.
These
green
zones
happen
to
be
have
temperatures
that
are
typically
higher
in
air.
Quality
is
lower
than
the
rest
of
the
city,
but
while
we're
addressing
climate
change,
we're
also
addressing
climate
justice-
and
I
think
if
we
have
a
little
money,
we
can
have
a
lot
bigger
bang
for
our
buck,
so
to
speak
with
making
sure
that
there
are
benefits
for
the
city.
G
I'd
appreciate
folks,
supporting
this.
The
money
is
coming
out
of
the
mpd's
budget,
but
we
know
that
they
did
have
a
large
increase.
We
tried
to
go
after
what
we
thought
was
a
area
where
they
might
not
even
be
able
to
spend
all
the
money
when
just
taking
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
from
the
law
enforcement
assistants
in
the
police
department
reserve.
C
C
I
will
put
myself
in
queue
and
see,
I'm
not
sure
if
mr
havey
is
on
the
line,
but
I
did
want
to
ask
him.
I
understand
that
the
ask
to
take
on
this
next
piece
of
work
really
important.
Work
for
climate
change
was
an
ask
for
250
thousand
dollars
and
I'm
just
wondering
what
you
would
be
able
to
do
with
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
of
it.
It
sounds
like
the
authors
have
been
working
closely
with
you
on
it
and
I'm
curious.
If
you
have
any
thoughts.
C
C
K
Yeah
man,
madam
chair
council,
members.
Unfortunately
I
don't
have
a
deep
background
on
this,
but
as
your
as
you
noted,
it's
only
a
hundred
thousand
of
one
time
dollars,
so
it
would
have
to
be
a
contractual
pieces,
a
contractual
higher,
as
opposed
as
as
noted
for
the
consultant
to
work
on
this
issue.
I
don't
have.
As
I
said,
I
don't
have
a
lot
of
background,
but
we
will
we'll
definitely
get
some
more
information
from
mr
havey.
K
I
don't
know
if
you
want
to
move
on
to
a
different
amendment
and
come
back
to
this
one,
otherwise
we'll
try
to
reach
mr
havey
as
well,
obviously
as
it
wasn't
included
in
the
mayor's
budget.
So
I
don't
have
a
lot
of
background
in
it.
S
C
Welcome
mr
havey,
I
understand
from
council
member
kano
that
this
hundred
thousand
dollar
amendment
into
your
department
from
extra
staffing
one
time
for
the
police
department
would
be
used
not
for
for
consultants
in
evaluation,
not
for
adding
staff
to
your
department
to
to
increase
the
work
of
the
green
zone's
work
plans.
Could
you
speak
a
little
bit
more
to
this.
S
Sure,
yes
yeah,
that
is
correct.
We're
really
at
an
important
stage
right
now
with
our
our
green
zones,
where
we
have
gone
through
and
developed
work
plans
that
both
have
sort
of
short-term
and
five-year
plan
goals
in
place.
We've
been
did
a
presentation
in
september
on
that,
and
so
what
we're
looking
with
this
funding
is
to
really
be
able
to
move
the
green
zones
into
into
kind
of
the
next
phase
on
how
they're
working
with
these
particular
work
plan
items
and
to
really
support
kind
of
evaluation
on
what
what's?
S
What's
the
future
look
like
for
green
zones,
they've
been
really
under
a
direction
to
really
come
up
with
the
work
plans
and
to
act
as
an
advisory,
but
but
we're
really
kind
of
thinking
about
what
does
it
mean
long
term
now
that
we've
had
them
for
since
2017,
and
we've
been
working
on
these
work
plans
as
our
main
focus,
but
now
we're
like
what
does
it
mean
in
the
future
with
environmental
justice
efforts,
and
that
may
mean
potentially
combining
the
the
green
zones
or
potentially
having
other
activities
within
another
outside
organization
or
continuing
on
as
a
as
advisory
boarding
commission
to
the
to
the
city.
S
But
we
want
to
go
through
a
process
to
be
able
to
kind
of
figure
out
what's
next
and
how
they
can
best
support.
The
plans
that
they've
laid
out,
but
it
is
not
for
specific,
is
not
for
staffing
for
the
actual
office
of
sustainability.
C
Thank
you,
and
I
think
this
next
question
is
probably
best
suited
to
director
kruver.
It's
my
understanding
that
an
expense
like
this
might
might
be
in
a
gray
area
in
terms
of
it
being
an
arpa
eligible
expense,
but
that
needing
extra
one-time
funds
for
law
enforcement
probably
would
be
in
arpa
eligible
expenses
that
accurate.
F
Yes
and
I'll,
go
you
one
further
and
say
that
arpa
funds
for
additional
contracts
with
law
enforcement
was
included
indeed
in
the
first
round
of
arpa
funds,
so
that
would
remain
eligible
harder
to
say
for
for
these
kinds
of
climate
focus
programs,
because
of
that
direct
link
to
response
to
the
pandemic
is
a
little
bit
more
gray.
So
that's
exactly
right.
C
Right
all
right,
thank
you.
Is
there
any
further
discussion
or
questions
from
my
colleagues
seeing
none?
I
will
ask
the
clerk
to
call
the
role
please.
On
amendment
number,
nine.
A
C
C
Thank
you.
That
item
passes
next,
we
will
move
on
to
motion
number
ten,
but
actually
I
have.
I
would
like
to
delay
motion
number
ten.
Colleagues.
As
you
know,
our
colleague
councilmember
osman
has
undergone
some
serious
family
emergencies
these
past
few
weeks,
and
he
has
expressed
interest
to
me
to
waiting
to
bring
this
himself
to
us
as
a
council.
Nonetheless,
I
left
it
in
our
council
packets
so
that
we
could
all
see
it
and
that
the
public
could
see
it
and
it
would
be
out
in
the
open.
C
His
intent
is
as
expressed
in
an
email.
It
is
to
find
fifty
thousand
dollars
for
homeless
response.
Direct
one-time
uses
for
the
health
department's
homeless
response
team
to
bring
things
into
into
the
encampments
when
they
go
to
work
with
the
people
that
live
in
the
encampments
and
transition
into
other
kinds
of
housing.
I
will
respect
council
member
osman's
wishes
to
bring
this
himself,
and
so
it
won't
be
included
in
this
packet,
but
I
just
wanted
to
share
it
because
it
is
a
complete,
technically
correct
amendment.
H
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I'm
just
curious
and
I
know
I
want
to
you
know
I
have
more
questions
when
the
author
councilmember
osmond
is
able
to
present
it,
but
is
the
homeless
response
team?
Is
that
a
joint
county
and
city
team,
or
is
that
solely
city
of
minneapolis.
C
There
is
surely
someone
available
to
answer
it.
I
would
invite
director
musicant
or
director
brennan
or
katie
to
pink,
if
she's,
on
the
line.
N
Sure,
thank
you,
madam
chair
council.
Vice
president
jenkins,
I
the
the
homeless
response
team.
I
think
specifically
in
this
the
way
that
this
is
worded.
It's
it's
specifically
the
health
department's
homeless
response
team,
but
that
term
is
also
used
quite
frequently
to
talk
about
the
city
and
the
county,
collective,
coordinated,
homeless
response
team.
So
I
think
it
can
get
kind
of
confusing,
but
I
think
for
the
purposes
of
this,
this
budget
amendment
it's
just
the
health
departments,
but
commissioner
musicant
should
probably
respond
to
that.
N
The
other
thing
I
would
just
offer
is
is
something
that
we
can.
Research
is
whether
any
of
the
federal
emergency
funds
that
we
received
to
respond
to
the
pandemic
could
potentially
be
used
for
this
as
well,
because
we
do
have
fun
balances
there.
So
I
can.
I
will
take
on
researching
that,
since
you
are
not
taking
this
up
at
this
moment
and
provide
that
information.
H
Great
thank
you
so
much
and
thank
you
for
that.
I
still
don't
necessarily
have
clarity,
but
I
guess
yeah
around
the
collaboration
as
it
were,
but
maybe
commissioner,
music
app
may
be
able
to
answer
that.
T
Thank
you
I'll
I'll
do
my
best,
I'm
I'm
texting
noya
woodrich
as
well
our
deputy
commissioner,
who
is
really
front
and
center
on
this
part
of
the
work
that
we're
we're
doing.
But,
yes,
we
do
work
hand
in
glove
with
others
who
are
out
there,
both
community-based
organizations
and
county's
health
care
for
the
homeless.
T
What
goes
along
with
the
relationships
that
our
outreach
folks
are
forming
with
people
in
the
community
who
are
homeless
and
being
able
to
respond
to
some
of
their
immediate
needs
is,
is
also
nurturing
of
those
relationships
and
the
ultimate
goal
of
all
of
us,
working
together
both
in
the
city
and
the
county
and
community-based
agencies,
is,
of
course,
to
help
people
find
more
stable
housing.
But
a
lot
of
that
depends
on
the
relationships
that
we
form.
T
So
that's
what
I
would
say
at
this
point,
but
I
will
try
and
get
more
information
if
there
is
someone
share
that
with
you.
C
Sure
there
might
be
other
questions
in
queue,
and
it
might
just
be
good
to
get
them
to
get
them
out
into
the
open,
and
then
osman
can
consider
next
week
whether
he
wants
to
still
bring
this
amendment
or
whether
it's
taken
care
of
in
some
other
way.
Council
member
kano.
H
Before
you
move
on,
madam
sure
sure
I
just
wanted
to
just
you
know
thank
the
responders,
and
also
you
know
I
I
I
think
our
the
american
rescue
plan
is
really
specifically
sort
of
intended
for
exactly
this
kind
of
community
level
support.
So
if
we
do
have
funds-
and
I
know
we
have
another
chance
coming
up-
that
it
seems
to
be
more
appropriate
than
depleting
the
the
already
minimal
art
department
funds
that
are
that
have
been
allocated
or
budgeted
in
this
cycle.
So
thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I'm
I'm
curious.
B
What
is
the
definition
of
consumables,
it's
quite
a
broad
category
and
and
I'm
just
curious
about
what
specifically
we
are
hoping
to
consume,
so
I
can
have
a
better
understanding
of
what
precise
gap
we're
trying
to
fill.
B
C
I'm
going
to
collect
that
question
for
now
as
we're
working
to
get
deputy
commissioner
woodridge
into
the
meeting.
But
that
is
a
good
open
question:
did
you
have
others
or
more.
B
F
Yes,
thank
you
chair
paul
masano
and
thanks
for
the
question
councilmember
cano.
This
is
a
one-time
movement
of
funds
from
the
arts
change
item
to
the
health
department.
A
All
right
d,
director
kruvert.
F
Yes,
thank
you,
council,
member
condo.
I
think
we
can
clean
up
that
language,
especially
if
we're
going
to
take
it
up
a
little
bit
later.
I
will
also
note
that
there
is
a
coding
error
that
I'm
working
with
the
clerk's
office
to
fix
right
now,
so
we
can
add
some
some
more
language
to
clarify
that
it's,
a
one-time,
only
move.
B
And
lastly,
I'll
share
that
you
know
the
city,
the
city
has
a
pretty
extensive,
complicated
and
broad
body
of
work
on
addressing
the
needs
of
families
and
people
who
are
experiencing
homelessness.
B
So
this
does
feel
a
little
out
of
step
with
that,
particularly
the
lack
of
clarity
in
the
gap
it's
trying
to
fill
and
the
the
source
I'll
just
share
that.
I
would
not
be
able
to
support
this
motion
with
the
source
identified.
B
I
think
that
we've
had
a
lot
of
conversations
right
now
that
have
identified
other
viable
sources
for
a
one-time,
fifty
thousand
dollar
allocation,
but
I
wouldn't
be
able
to
support
it
coming
from
the
the
city's
arts
work,
primarily
because
you
know
out
of
the
271
million
dollars
that
the
city
of
minneapolis
received
from
the
federal
government
and
arpa
dollars,
only
300
000
went
to
any
and
all
arts
related
work
at
the
city.
B
So
that's
a
huge
inequity
understanding
that
the
sector
of
arts
and
culture
in
our
city
is
largely
represented
by
people
of
color
and
communities,
diverse
communities
and
multilingual
communities
in
minneapolis.
B
Additionally,
we
did
approve
an
ordinance
to
stand
up
a
new
arts
and
cultural
affairs
department
to
help
the
city
improve
the
way
that
we
provide
services,
support
and
initiatives
for
the
arts
and
cultural
sector
of
our
city,
which
is
a
pretty
a
pretty
significant
sector
when
it
comes
to
the
economy,
whether
you
think
about
community
centers,
like
juxtaposition,
arts
or
individual
entrepreneurs
and
business
owners.
B
You
know
different
artists
that
have
started
a
lot
of
different
initiatives
and
pretty
much
anything
anything
we
can.
We
can
lay
our
eyes
on
has
been
designed
by
an
artist
or
somebody
in
the
creative
sector,
and
so
that
department
itself
asked
for
3.5
million
dollars
to
stand
it
up
as
phase
one
and
none
of
that
money
was
allocated
through
the
mayor's
budget,
the
one
that
we're
reviewing
today
and
voting
on
today.
B
So
I
feel
like
we're
already
working
with
a
really
you
know.
Disinvested
conversation
in
terms
of
how
much
resources,
support
and
strategic
budgeting
has
happening
has
been
happening
around
the
arts
and
cultural
work.
So
I
don't
feel
like
this
is
this
is
an
appropriate
or
a
complementary
use
of
resources.
B
So
I
just
wanted
to
share
some
of
that
background
with
colleagues
and
the
public
as
to
sort
of
the
state
of
arts
and
culture
at
the
city,
where
we
are
in
the
whole
3.5
million
dollars,
where
out
of
271
million
dollars.
Only
300
000
has
been
allocated
to
arts
and
cultural
work
in
the
entire
enterprise,
and
so
I
certainly
think
that
there
is
a
much
better
and
appropriate
source
for
yet
an
unidentifiable
and
quite
vague
proposal
here
before
us.
Thank
you.
C
Thank
you.
I
also
want
to
mention
that
our
health
commissioner
and
deputy
sorry,
our
deputy
commissioner,
is
having
technical
difficulties
getting
into
the
call
here,
but
I'm
we're
taking
some
notes,
and
I
think
you
know
I'm
going
to
pass
these
back
to
council
member
osman
for
now,
so
that
when
council
member
osman
brings
this
up
next
week,
he
can
make
sure
that
he's,
you
know,
covered
his
bases
on
this.
C
We
do
have
three
more
people
in
queue
on
this
one,
but
I'd
like
to
move
along
quickly,
because
I
know
we
have
some
staff
readied
for
the
next
one
in
queue,
but
so
I'll
just
see
if
there's
anything
more
council
member
fletcher.
I
I
think
interval
amazon
I'll
just
just
briefly
thank
director
brennan
for
noting
that
there's
probably
fun
balance
that
the
city
council
has
made
a
substantial
investment
in
homeless
response,
and
I
really
would
not
want
to
create
the
impression
for
the
public
or
anyone
else
that
it's
necessary
for
us
to
be
scrounging
for
fifty
thousand
dollars
for
something
that's
needed
for
homeless
response
right
now
that
that
this
council
actually
really
asked
staff
if
they
could
deploy
more
money.
I
If
we
were
to
allocate
it
last
time
we
were
in
the
our
budget
conversation
and
the
answer
was
no.
This
is
what
we
can
get
out
there,
and
so
my
expectation
is
that
we
have
the
resources
that
we
need
until
we
hear
otherwise-
and
I
know
there's
arp
around
two
coming
up,
but
I
really
do
hope
that
we
can
find
you
know
the
resources
to
do
this
and
and
not
take
it
away
from.
I
You
know
a
department
that
that
does
find
itself
needing
to
scrounge
for
five
figure
dollar
amounts
to
get
little
programs
off
the
ground,
and-
and
so
I
I
want
to
echo
what
my
colleagues
have
said
about
not
taking
from
the
arts
and
and
and
let's
find
this
within
the
existing,
significant
and
robust
effort
that
this
council
and
our
staff
have
made
around
homeless
response.
U
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Just
briefly,
and
first
I
want
to
apologize
to
everyone.
I
have
to
be
on
my
phone
I'm
having
some
technical
difficulties
with
my
computer,
so
I
just
want.
While
this
is
a
budget
amendment,
I
do
want
to
just
make
a
quick
statement
about
looking
forward
into
the
future
about
homelessness
response
in
the
city
of
minneapolis
council.
Vice
president
jenkins
asked
a
question
around.
U
You
know
who's
at
the
table,
and
you
know
what
groups
are
working
on
this
and
how
are
we
collaborating,
and
I
will
just
say
that
city
of
minneapolis
staff
have
been
doing
phenomenal
work
with
the
resources
that
they
have
and
something
that
I've
consistently
heard
from
them.
With
my
work
in
addressing
encampments
in
ward
4,
is
that
there's
just
a
lack
of
a
system,
a
systematic
response
to
homeless
encampments
in
particular?
U
And
so
you
know,
I
implore
my
colleagues
who
will
be
returning
or
any
incoming
council
members
who
may
be
watching
this
meeting
to
please
take
this
issue
on
the
system
gap
that
exists
to.
U
Please
take
this
on
to
address
it
and
create
a
system
that
will
allow,
for
you
know,
a
systematic
ex,
predictable
response
that
could
be
obviously
individualized
based
on
you
know
the
context
of
each
individual
in
case,
but
I
just
you
know
this
is
a
pretty
severe
gap
and
it's
something
that
I
didn't
fully
see
until
this
year,
when
encampments
became
more
prevalent
in
ward
four,
so
you
know
again,
I
just
want
to
implore
upon
you
know.
U
Employer
to
council
members
who
are
you
know
will
be
serving
next
term
to
please
prioritize
this
as
a
policy
issue,
because
it's
very
unsustainable
for
our
staff
to
to
go
to
try
their
best
to
work
within
a
non-existent
system.
So
thank
you,
madam
chair.
C
E
Thanks,
madam
chair,
I
think
a
lot
of
my
comments
would
be
redundant.
So
I'll,
be
really
brief
and
just
say
I
can
see
why
councilmember
osman
would
want
to
bring
something
forward.
I
know
word:
sex
is
heavily
impacted
by
encampments
and,
as
customer
cunningham
just
said,
those
of
us
who
have
encampments.
In
our
words
it
becomes
a
whole
separate,
full-time
job,
just
to
manage
the
encampments
and
they're,
not
you
know,
which
some
words
have
dramatically
more
impact
than
others
across
the
city
as
it's
in
a
typical
year.
E
E
The
city
has
over
time,
both
formally
and
informally,
moved
away
from
having
our
police
department
respond
to
encampments
by
clearing
people
out,
which
is
consistent
with
our
values
of
treating
people
with
dignity
and
respect,
but
we
haven't
filled
that
gap
with
any
other
kind
of
support
from
a
staffing
point
of
view,
but
for
these
handful
of
staff
that
we
added
in
the
last
budget
cycle
using
one
time
dollars.
I
think
one
of
the
issues
that
the
comments
have
highlighted
is
the
struggle
between
what's
in
the
city's
purview
and
what's
in
the
county's
purview.
E
E
You
know,
often
when
things
are
falling
through
the
gaps
in
the
statewide
system
or
the
regional
system,
it
really
does
fall
to
the
local
governments,
the
local
communities
to
respond,
and
so
I
think
it's
important
that
folks
have
highlighted
the
enormous
amount
of
investment
that
we
have
made
in
as
a
city
in
responding
to
homelessness.
E
I
think
our
constituents
expect
the
city
to
have
a
response
right
now.
The
response
is
very
haphazard
and
there
are
not
clear
systems
and
policies
in
place.
There's
a
sort
of
journey
for
each
each
time.
There's
an
encampment
and
our
constituents
are
all
very
frustrated.
So,
like
customer
cunningham
said,
I
really
hope
that
in
the
future,
especially
from
an
operational
standpoint,
this
can
be
improved
so
that
people
have
a
better
understanding
of
what
to
expect.
E
So
I
I'm
hopeful
that
this.
The
intention
of
this
amendment
can
be
reached,
as
others
have
said,
to
the
arba
investments,
but
I
do
think
it's
worth
highlighting
some
of
the
operational
challenges
that
the
city
is
having
with
responding
to
encampments
in
a
way
that
provides
for
health
and
safety
of
everyone
in
our
community,
including
the
folks
who
are
experiencing
homelessness.
C
Thank
you
so
much
all
right,
so
seeing
no
further
discussion
on
this
one,
I'm
just
going
to
on.
If
I
need
a,
I
don't
think
I
need
a
motion
to
table
and
just
wanted
to
share
this
and
get
it
out
in
the
open
and
have
some
discussion
on
it.
I
will
bring
this
feedback
and
more
back
to
council
member
osman.
C
Let's
move
on
to
motion
number
11,
which
is
the
last
one
that
we
have
here
for
today.
This
motion
is
being
brought
by
council
members,
bender
and
cunningham,
and
I
will
invite
council
president
bender
to
to
to
read
it
and
make
the
first
motion
introduce
the
amendment.
Thank
you.
E
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
This
motion
is
by
myself
and
councilmember
cunningham.
It's
rather
lengthy,
lengthy,
so
I'll
go
through
and
go
ahead
and
read
it,
and
I
just
want
to
also
note
that
we
have
been
joined
by
our
office
of
violence,
prevention,
director,
sasha,
cotton
and
the
office
of
performance
and
innovation,
director
brian
smith,
as
well
as
their
respective
department
heads
who
will
be
able
to
answer
detailed
questions
about
this
proposal.
E
E
It
will
provide
funding
to
supplement
the
violence
prevention
fund,
funding
for
stabilization
of
high-risk
individuals
who
are
served
through
these
programs
funding
to
support
community
members
who
have
experienced
trauma
resulting
from
exposure
to
violence,
as
well
as
expanding
the
violence.
Prevention
through
built
environment
changes
providing
actually
the
first
time
funding
for
violence
prevention
through
built
environment
pilot.
E
The
second
piece
of
this
would
so
all
of
that
is
in
the
office
of
violence
prevention.
It
is
expanding
and
supporting
the
existing
services,
which
are
in
high
demand
and
again,
director.
Cotton
is
with
us
all
of
this
came
directly
from
the
staff
who
are
leading
this
work
and
they
will
be
able
to
answer
any
specific
questions
that
folks
may
have.
The
second
piece
is
for
the
work
that
is
in
the
coordinator's
office
in
the
office
of
performance
and
innovation.
E
This
is
the
team
that
has
been
working
through
the
staff
direction
that
this
council
gave
unanimously
in
2018
to
go
through
and
analyze
all
of
the
problem.
Nature
codes.
Why
are
people
calling
9-1-1,
looking
through
all
of
the
data
to
see
how
our
system
of
safety
is
working
now
to
provide
for
the
services
and
safety
needs
of
our
community
and
to
prototype
analyze
and
evaluate
investments?
E
So
this
would
you
know,
I
think,
really
the
the
staff
team
would
say
they
need
additional
ftes
to
continue
this
work,
but
this
would
provide
contracting
support
in
the
absence
of
additional
staff
capacity.
E
E
Those
increases
are
not
itemized
in
the
proposed
budget,
but
in
the
budget
book
it
describes
those
funds
generally
going
to
elections
as
well
as
police
related
lawsuits,
and
that
is
included
in
the
total
of
34
million
dollars
in
the
mayor's
proposed
2022
budget
that
is
going
for
worker
compensation
claims
and
lawsuits
related
to
the
police
department.
E
You
know
I'll
just
so
that
is
the
detailed
description
I'll
go
ahead
and
move
it.
I'll
also
just
briefly
comment
that
this
proposal
does
two
things:
it
is
another
step
forward
toward
our
shared
vision
for
public
safety
in
minneapolis.
That
will
provide
the
tools
that
we
need
to
keep
every
member
of
our
community
safe
by
providing
the
right
response
to
a
call
for
help.
Some
people
call
this
transforming
public
safety.
Some
people
call
this
a
both
and
approach
to
public
safety,
regardless
of
the
words
that
we
have
used.
E
The
investment
also
represents
a
reaction
to
the
realities
of
our
current
system
of
safety.
Despite
dramatic
increases
in
the
police
department's
budget,
their
level
of
service
is
down
and
the
police
department
itself
is
increasingly
requesting
support
from
the
office
of
violence,
prevention
and
the
other
public
safety
services
throughout
the
city,
like
any
other
kind
of
city
service.
This
needs
funding
to
be
able
to
to
provide
the
services
that
are
needed.
E
So
with
that,
I
will
close
and
turn
it
over
to
my
co-author
counselor
cunningham.
I
will
note
that
you
know
honestly.
I
prepared
this
amendment.
I
started
talking
with
staff
kind
of
as
a
backup
I
had
expected-
maybe
some
of
the
other
council
members
or
others
to
make
a
proposal,
but
no
one
did
so.
I
was
happy
to
step
forward
and
bring
this
for
consideration
today.
C
So
this
motion
has
been
made
by
council
president
bender
and
sorry.
I
was
eating
off
screen
here
and
I
now
will
call
on
councilmember
cunningham
to
second
the
motion
and
to
speak
more
to
this
amendment.
That
he's
also
an
author
of.
U
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
will
second
this
motion.
Thank
you
for
the
space
to
be
able
to
speak
to
this
to
this
item.
U
So
this
I
am
invested
in
the
safety
of
our
city,
councilman
council,
president
bender
is
as
well,
which
is
why
the
two
of
us
brought
this
forward,
because
we
have
to
face
the
reality
that
mpd
is
down
by
a
few
hundred
officers,
and
it
is
going
to
take
time
in
order
to
fill
those
ranks
back
to
the
previous
staffing
levels,
even
just
to
what
we
were
in
2019.
U
So
what
that
means
is
that
we
are
experiencing
a
significant
gap
in
public
safety
services
that
we
have
historically
and
presently
relied
on
police
in
order
to
respond.
Well,
we
no
longer
really
have
that
option.
So
what
that
means
is
that
there
has
to
be
more
public
safety
systems
and
options
in
order
to
fill
that
gap
and
to
council
president
bender's
point,
we
know
that
mpd
is
more
and
more
frequently
calling
upon
the
office
of
violence
prevention
to
fill
these
gaps,
and
so
this
is.
This
is
just
a
reality.
U
You
know
we
we
find
money
in
every
nook
and
cranny
to
continue
to
put
more
money
into
mpd,
despite
the
fact
that
we
are
getting
diminishing
amounts
of
services,
we
have
to
be
able
to
take
a
step
back
and
see
that
these
sort
of
public
safety
strategies
and
systems
right
now
are
not
negotiable,
because
we
can't
just
wait
until
mpd.
U
We
replenishes
its
staffing
levels,
wait
for
a
set
of
recommendations
from
a
committee
that
doesn't
have
public
health
experts
on
it,
except
for
our
city
staff
and
so
like
we.
U
These
are
evidence-based
strategies
that
can
help
fill
the
public
safety
gaps
that
we
are
facing
as
a
city,
so
I
just
want
to
be
able
to
to
walk
through
just
very
briefly
these
again.
These
are
evidence-based,
meaning,
for
example,
there
is
an
increasing
demand
for
violence
interrupters
in
different
scenarios.
We
we
created
violence
interrupters
to
fill
a
particular
kind
of
gap,
but
what
we're
seeing
is
that
there
are
more
requests
in
different
spaces
in
different
contexts,
so
we
need
to
continue
to
expand
that
in
order
to
fill
that
gap.
U
What
we
saw
in
2020
and
I've
been
talking
about
this
now
for
a
few
years,
is
that
we
have
to
be
focusing
on
our
young
people
who
are
gang
and
group
involved,
because
they
are
largely
behind,
for
example,
carjackings,
and
so
we
would
be
dealing
with
multiple
issues
at
one
time
that
doesn't
rely
so
heavily
on
the
police
to
do
everything.
U
Instead,
we
have
experts
who
focus
on
particular
parts
of
it
so
for
the
violence
prevention
fund,
their
urgency
is
there
because
we
need
to
invest
in
community
based
public
safety
strategies
like
we
have
like
we
are
going
to
be.
We
have
been
and
will
continue
to
rely
on
community
members
in
order
to
fill
the
gaps
we
have
to
invest
in
that
one
of
the
biggest
things
we
hear
from
people
who
are
trying
to
get
out
of
the
life
and
are
struggling
to
get
out
of
it
is
that
they
have
housing
instability.
U
They
have
food
instability
and
security.
This,
the
300
000
that
helps
to
transition
people
out
of
the
lives
and
help
their
basic
needs
be
met,
and
then
you
know
I'll
just
say
to
the
last
last
item
or
to
1h
is
that
this
is
actually
based
on
environmental
criminology.
U
What's
called
situation
situational
crime
prevention?
This
is
evidence-based.
So
again
we
have
to
change
the
environment
to
change
people's
behaviors,
and
that
is
what
this
will
do
again.
It
helps
to
fill
a
gap
because
it's
preventing
violence
from
happening
before
it
happened,
and
this
is
evidence-based.
U
As
such,
we
have
seen
the
more
fundamental
work
of
the
office
of
performance
and
innovation.
So
you
know
the
budget
about
like
excuse
me.
It's
like
looking
at
the
budget
around
performance
and
evaluation,
really
looking
at
how
are
we
innovating
city
systems
and
and
and
processes?
So
so
this
is
just
really
important
so
that
we
can
have
actually
that
work
continue,
while
also
being
able
to
get
to
the
fundamentals
as
well.
U
So
I
just
I
I
implore
upon
people
to
please
not
treat
this
as
though
this
is
optional,
because
I
can
say,
as
a
council
member
who
lives
in
north
minneapolis
lives
in
one
of
the
hottest
hot
spots
in
north
minneapolis,
we
cannot
wait
a
couple
of
years
if
there
are
recommendations
from
anyone
as
to
a
different
source
of
funding.
We
will
gladly
welcome
that.
U
However,
from
our
perspective,
given
the
fact
that
this
is
such
there's
such
urgency
here
to
do
this
now,
rather
than
waiting
for
the
second
phase
of
art
before
example,
we
welcome
that.
So
with
that
I
will
pause.
I
think
mayor
fry
is
in
queue,
so
if
anybody
has
any
questions
or
additional
thoughts,
I'm
happy
to
respond.
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
C
Thank
you,
I'm
going
to
call
on
on
mayor
frye
and
then
council
member
goodman.
C
V
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Thank
you,
council
members
for
your
work
and
the
opportunity
to
speak
here
and
thank
you
to
council
president
bender
and
and
council
member
cunningham,
the
authors
of
this
particular
motion.
This
really
should
be,
and
could
be
a
moment
for
unity
here.
These
items,
let
me
be
very
clear,
should
be
funded.
V
There
is
both
an
urgency
in
making
sure
that
this
funding
moves
forward,
but
also
a
necessity
that
we're
doing
the
right
things
by
our
city
budgeting
and
by
our
financial
decisions,
to
making
sure
that
we
are
on
steady
footing
100
of
the
time
so
I
mentioned,
we
will
be
further
funding
it
through
the
second
phase,
barbara.
I
think
we
all
agree
every
single
one
of
us
that
the
office
of
violence
prevention
is
doing
this
very
important
and
urgent
work.
V
The
money
can't
get
spent,
regardless
of
whether
it
goes
through
arpa
or
through
the
the
budget
in
the
next
couple
of
months.
It
simply
can't
get
spent
in
that
amount
of
time,
and
so
I
would
ask
strongly
that,
instead
of
funding
it
through
the
reserve
fund,
which
our
financial
department
has
recommended
strongly
against-
that
we
do
it
through
arpa
phase,
two
we're
going
to
keep
funding
at
the
speed
that
we
can
deliver
using
appropriate
financial,
responsible
sources
of
funding.
V
So
we're
committed
to
to
move
nimbly
to
expand
this
funding,
such
as
using
that
additional
arpa
fund
when
ovp
are
ready
to
expand
or
introduce
these
new
initiatives.
I
believe
that
they
should
be
tackled
and,
as
I
mentioned,
these
are
the
exact
same
proposals
that
ovp
was
moving
through
arpa
and
I'll.
Just
reiterate,
some
of
the
things
that
have
already
been
stated
by
our
financial
experts,
which
I
feel
is
important
to
really
listen
to
them.
V
Our
financial
policy
sets
the
bare
minimum
at
17,
but
as
our
finance
team
shared
with
the
council
just
last
night,
the
reduction
considered
in
this
amendment
is
strongly
discouraged
going
below
the
target
increases
the
financial
risk
to
be
able
to
weather
some
unexpected
expenses,
such
as
responding
to
the
pandemic
or
future
fluctuations
in
sales
tax.
These
are
the
financial
considerations
that
we
really
need
to
care
for
and
balance
in
the
form
of
the
reserve
fund.
That's
what
the
reserve
fund
is
indeed
intended
for.
So
I
really
appreciate
the
motion.
I
do.
V
I
agree
with
with
these
items
of
work
and
they
need
to
be
funded.
They
will
be
funded.
I
think
the
the
only
area,
as
far
as
I
can
tell
where
there
is
any
disagreement
as
to
whether
they
should
come
out
of
the
reserve
fund,
I
would
argue
they
should
instead
come
out
of
harvard.
P
Thank
you,
madam
sure.
I
have
a
question
from
ms
kruver.
Is
she
on
the
line?
Still?
Yes,
of
course,
she
is
great.
Thank
you,
ms
kruver.
I
understand
that
ovp
is
funded
through
a
variety
of
sources
and
there
is
arpa
phase
one
money
that
has
been
put
into
ovp,
as
well
as
other
grant
funds
like
the
affordable,
housing
trust
fund.
We
often
allocate
money,
then
it's
not
spent.
P
P
How
much
of
that
money
is
remaining
seems
to
me
as
though
there
is
a
lot
of
money
still
to
be
spent,
and
so
if
they
can
spend
that
money
between
now
and
phase
two
we
wouldn't
have
to
cut
into
the
reserve
fund
in
order
to
fund
this,
because
if,
if
they're
out
of
money,
yes
of
course
I
agree,
we
should
do
something
to
make
sure
that
doesn't
happen.
But
if
there's
millions
of
unspent
money
that
would
tide
them
over
until
arpa
phase
two,
so
I'm
wondering
if
we
could
hear
more
from
staff
about
that.
F
F
I
will
say
that
we've
just
done
a
round
of
sort
of
progress
reports
with
all
of
our
departments
that
received
our
phase
one
and
it
sounds
like
they
have
done
a
lot
of
ground
work,
setting
up
contracts,
determining
the
right
direction
and
sort
of
all
of
the
activity
that
you
would
need
to
get
started
and
it
sounds
like
they
will
be
able
to
start
spending
these
dollars
in
earnest
in
the
next
month
or
two.
But
you
are
correct
at
this
point.
F
We
have
2.1
million
left
to
spend
in
the
arpa
funds
to
your
second
question
in
our
sort
of
other
funds
section
so
in
the
federal
grants
fund
for
things
like
the
cdc
cbdg
funds,
which
I
always
get
wrong.
When
I
say
it,
there
is
also
two
million
dollars
budgeted
for
2020
2021
I
mean
and
left
is
1.4
million
remaining
to
be
spent.
So
a
good
amount
of
grant
dollars
remain
to
be
spent
for
the
year
in
ovp,
related
spending.
P
Yes,
okay
thanks,
so
that
adds
up
to
like
about
3.5
million.
So
it's
about
what
this
proposal
is
and
we're
hearing
that
arpa
is
a
good
use
for
phase.
P
Two
is
a
good
use
for
these
kinds
of
things
as
well,
and
I
agree
with
council
member
cunningham
that
director
cotton
should
speak,
because
I
do
think
that
actually
she's
kind
of
set
up
for
failure
in
the
scenario
where
we're
constantly
tossing
money
here
and
then
expecting
she's
going
to
do
things
immediately
when
she's
actually
one
of
the
most
thoughtful
department
leaders,
we
have
and
is
trying
to
do
things
in
a
in
the
right
way,
and
so
I
do
think
supporting
her
leadership
is
important.
P
She's,
probably
going
to
explain
to
us
how
she's
going
to
get
this
money
out,
but
consistently
putting
money
into
this
that
can't
be
spent
is
not
set
up
for
success
either,
and
I'm
happy
to
defer
to
her.
C
Thank
you
welcome
director
cotton.
Can
you
tell
us
a
little
bit
more
about
how
you're
building
capacity
in
your
department
and
to
answer
council
member
goodman's
inquiries.
W
Yes,
thank
you,
chair
pamasana,
and
thank
you
councilmember
goodman,
for
the
question,
as
it
relates
to
the
existing
opera
resources
that
have
been
allocated.
W
I
think
the
balance
that
was
mentioned
reflects
actual
spending
and
not
contract
allocation,
and
maybe
mr
kruger
can
speak
to
that,
because
there
are
a
number
of
contracts
that
have
either
been
established,
which
our
process
takes
a
long
time.
I
mean,
I
think
it's
just
worth
noting
that
inside
of
the
city
system,
in
order
to
amend
contracts,
and
particularly
with
arp
money,
there
are
a
lot
of
steps
to
enter
into
contract
so
that
people
can
start
spending
the
money.
W
So
I
know
that
a
number
of
contracts,
as
I
mentioned
yesterday,
my
presentation
to
the
council,
the
committee
are
on
public
health
and
public
safety.
There
are
a
number
of
contracts
that
are
in
queue
for
the
office
of
violence
prevention
fund
and
a
number
of
contracts
that
are
out
for
signature.
I
believe
for
our
interrupter
teams
that
will
draw
that
balance
down
significantly,
probably
by
well
over
a
million
dollars.
W
So
I
just
want
to
be
really
clear
that
we
are
always
trying
to
be
thoughtful
and
planful
and
position
the
folks
that
are
doing
the
work
with
us
for
success.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
they
can
anticipate
what
kind
of
resources
they're
going
to
have
to
work
with,
and
I
think
that's
the
biggest
challenge
here
is.
W
I
don't
know
what
the
timeline
is
on
the
arp
dollars
and
so
it'd
be
helpful
to
know
what
the
expectation
is
around
when
those
dollars
might
become
available
for
round
two
for
us
to
make
a
better
assessment
around
need.
But
what
I
can
say
is,
as
we
go
into
2022
and
try
to
do
planning
with
our
partners.
W
We
run
the
risk
always
of
people
walking
away
if
they
don't
know.
If
they're
gonna
have
the
money
to
do
the
work,
particularly
going
into
spring
and
summer,
and
we
often
run
into
a
situation
where,
because
there
are
contracting
issues
so
once
we
get
the
money,
it
still
takes
us
roughly
somewhere
between
six
and
eight
weeks
to
get
a
contract
set
up
and
fully
executed.
W
So,
the
more
time
we
have
with
dollars
in
queue
to
be
able
to
do
that
work
during
our
colder
weather
months,
the
better
off
we
are
so
that
we
can
make
sure
that
folks
have
the
money.
They
need
to
do
the
work
as
the
weather
changes,
and
we
know
that
we
expect
to
see
increases
in
the
need
for
our
services.
So
we
are
thoughtfully
spending
our
existing
arp
money
and
we
are
trying
to
be
planful
for
for
resources
based
on
either
current
budget.
You
know
the
22
general
budget
or
arp
dollars.
W
It
would
be
like
I
said
before
helpful
to
know
when
those
arp
dollars
might
become
available,
and
then
I
think,
secondly,
as
it
pertains
to
grant
dollars
when
we
have
federal
grant
dollars,
which
I
believe
are
what
the
grant
dollars
that
ms
kruger
is
referring
to.
Those
are
ear
march
dollars,
so
we've
applied
to
do
a
particular
project
and
we're
funded
to
do
that.
Work.
In
particular,
the
bulk
of
that
money
is
through
a
cdc
grant,
which
is
specifically
focused
on
our
work
with
minneapolis
public
schools
and
creating
increased
safety
in
the
schools.
W
So
none
of
this
project
area
work
is
able
to
be
funded
through
any
of
our
federal
grants,
because
that
money
is
dedicated
to
specific
projects
different
from
these
things.
So
I
just
think
that
those
are
pieces
of
insight
that
the
council
should
have
as
they
make
their
decision
and
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
that
people
might
have
further.
E
Thanks,
madam
chair,
I
really
appreciate
the
discussion
and
certainly
did
I
freeze.
E
Pros
for
a
minute,
I
certainly
appreciate
the
discussion.
I'm
glad
we
are
able
to
hear
from
the
staff
who
put
this
proposal
together.
E
We
haven't
yet
heard
from
from
mr
smith
from
for
the
second
piece
of
this,
so
would
welcome
anything
he
would
like
to
say
about
the
continued
investment
in
developing
out
our
public
safety
system.
You
know
I
did
since
we're
we
sort
of
began
talking
about
the
the
budgetary
piece
of
this.
I
don't
want
to
distract
from
the
places
of
agreement
and
the
important
work
that
it
sounds
like
we
all
support,
so
I'm
really
excited
to
hear
that
there
should
be
support
for
this
proposal
to
be
approved
as
part
of
this
budget
process.
E
You
know
I'm
hearing
concern
about
the
use
of
fund
balance.
The
mayor's
proposed
2022
budget
uses
17
million
dollars
of
fund
balance,
essentially
for
covering
the
costs
of
lawsuits
to
the
city.
The
total
levy
increase
was
21.5
million
dollars.
E
I
just
I
need
to
understand,
I
think,
in
the
in
the
context
of
this
discussion,
why
finance
and
the
mayor
have
proposed
that
use
of
fund
balance.
You
know
what
what
kind
of
analysis
went
into
that
you
know
being
comfortable
with
using
that
much
fund
balance
for
those
uses,
and
that
resulted
in
that
proposal
for
the
2022
budget.
E
C
Finance
department
is
tasked
with
figuring
out
how
much
of
cash
reserves
that
are
unobligated
to
and
don't
have.
These
strings
attached
should
be
used
in
the
development
of
the
mayor's
budget.
That
is
what
that
recommendation
is
made
in
a
way
that
happens
even
before
the
levy
is
set,
so
that
we
know
how
much
of
our
cash
reserves
will
we
use
that
year
to
help
us
set
an
appropriate,
stable
levy
and
a
five-year
financial
plan.
C
So
this
is
this:
using
this
kind
of
a
source
at
this
end
of
the
process
is
something
I
don't
think
we've
ever
done
before,
that
17
million
dollars
or
director
kruver
can
refine
that
number
if
needed,
is
set
to
the
city.
As
we
first
develop
our
budget,
it
is
not
recommended
that
we
go
beyond
that.
It
is
not
recommended
as
a
place
that
responsible
council
members
should
be
taking
money
from
no
matter
how
much
we
all
like
the
kinds
of
things
that
are
proposed.
It
is
seen
as
a
dangerous
process.
C
Our
cfo
wrote
us
an
extensive
memo
that
went
into
great
detail
about
this
last
night.
I've
entered
that
into
the
public
record,
but
I'd
like
to
invite
director
kruver
just
to
to
answer
the
council
president's
question
about
how
we
determine
how
much
we
are
going
to
use.
E
And
to
be
clear
man,
I'm
sure
I
understand
the
process
and
I
also
serve
on
the
board
investment
taxation
that
sets
the
maximum
levy.
I've
commented
extensively
on
this
in
public.
My
question,
I
guess
to
be
more
specific
and
clear:
why
was
the
levy
set
to
increase
the
total
levy
at
21.5
million
dollars,
when
the
total
cost
of
increased
law
lawsuits
is
covered
to
be
34
million
dollars?
F
This
is
so
that
we
don't
have
a
levy
that
impacts
property
taxpayers
in
a
way
that
is
unpredictable
and
moving
up
and
down
year
to
year.
If
there
are
one-time
charges
or
one-time
payments
that
are
required,
which
are
required
every
year,
using
one-time
accumulated
fund
balance
dollars
in
the
general
fund
is
appropriate
so
that
we
can
maintain
a
steady
property
tax
for
our
property
taxpayers.
F
So,
every
year
we
do
an
analysis
just
looking
at
what
is
our
financial
policies,
which
our
financial
policies
state
that
we
have
17
of
our
planned
spending
for
the
next
year,
reserved
and
unobligated
in
our
general
fund
before
we
start
that
year
now,
that
percentage
is
our
policy
and
we
are
generally
well
above
it.
17
is
kind
of
on
the
low
end
of
just
looking
at
similarly
situated
cities.
So,
typically,
we
are
between
20
and
30
percent.
F
This
year
we
are.
There
are
some
one-time
expenditures
that
made
sense
to
use
a
little
bit
more
than
our
sort
of
traditional
planning
amount
for
accumulated
fund
balance,
and
so
that's
sort
of
all
of
that
happened
in
the
spring
and
summer
when
we
are
putting
together
our
recommendations
and
then
ultimately,
the
mayor's
recommended
budget
so
this
year
to
get
a
couple
of
facts
out
into
the
public
record.
We
are
we're
going
to
end
the
year
with
a
well
above
our
financial
policy
of
17.
F
If
we
make
it
through
2020
and
spend
down
the
17
million
that
we
have
planned,
we
will
be
at
about
20
of
our
operating
budget
in
reserves,
so
we'll
have
about
13
million
above
our
fund
balance
policy
as
breathing
room.
If
we
increase
that
amount
we'll
be
even
closer
to
our
financial
policy
and
that
just
lowers
the
the
cushion
that
we
have
before
we
run
up
against
our
financial
policies.
F
So
I
think
that
that's
all
for
me
just
talking
about
the
the
policies
and
best
practices
that
we
apply
when
we
do
this-
and
I
will
stand
by
for
any
further
questions.
C
C
I
cannot
support
any
amendment
that
would
place
our
city
in
a
state
of
financial
instability
when
we're
working
diligently
to
recover
from
the
financial
crisis
caused
by
the
still
ongoing
global
pandemic
and
more
our
our
general
fund
is
exactly
that.
Our
general
reserve
fund
is
exactly
that.
It's
a
reserve,
it's
our
emergency
fund,
which
is
not
a
rainy
day
fund,
as
some
have
suggested
in
the
past,
this
reserve
and
the
healthiness
of
it
is
a
significant
component
to
our
bond
rating
and
it's
a
big
part
of
the
financial
outlook
that
bond
agencies
assign
us.
C
We
responsibly
manage
it
in
coordination
with
responsibly
planning
out
our
legal
obligations
in
order
to
pay
for
them
and
not
have
shocks
to
our
system.
It
is
the
padding
for
shocks
to
our
system.
Why
would
we
throw
that
away
and
jeopardize
our
financial
standing?
We
don't
get
to
refund
this
with
arp
dollars.
C
C
Our
expert
finance
team
has
projections
about
where
our
sales
tax
revenues
might
be
in
the
coming
year,
but
none
of
that
is
set
in
stone.
We
get
that
data
on
a
two-month
delay.
Meanwhile,
we've
had
our
first
reported
case
of
a
new
variant
of
covid
in
our
own
county
just
this
week.
So
we
don't
know
when
revenues
will
go
back
to
normal,
and
that
is
just
a
fact.
C
We
need
to
be
really
thoughtful
when
we
talk
about
spending
our
reserves
below
the
recommended
threshold,
and
we
should
be
listening
to
our
finance
team
and
the
very
detailed
letter
that
they
wrote
to
all
of
us.
They
are
the
financial
experts
more
than
any
of
the
13
of
us.
This
is
why
we
have
favorable
bond
ratings.
C
H
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I'm
just
curious.
I
know
that
the
health
department
submitted
a
grant
application
for
recast
dollars.
I'm
just
curious
what,
where
that
is
in
the
process
if
we
have
been
awarded
those
funds
which
I'm
not
positive,
but
if
we
have
any
sense
of
where
we
are
in
that
process,.
T
With
with
permission,
this
is
gretchen
music
hand.
I
can
answer,
go
ahead,
question
yep.
We
have
recently
heard
that
we
were
not
funded.
We
were
not
selected
for
that.
A
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
just
wanted.
B
B
A
little
bit
of
self
reflection
here
in
terms
of
the
body
of
work
that
the
city
of
minneapolis
leads
on
this
front,
which
of
course
has
been
evolving
and
improving
over
the
last.
At
least.
You
know,
eight
to
nine
years
that
I've
been
involved
with
the
city.
B
B
Since
that
time,
we've
really
struggled
as
a
city
to
function
in
the
space
of
being
a
grantor
or
like
an
investor
in
these
initiatives,
as
well
as
an
organization
that
can
provide
due
diligence,
follow-up
in
evaluating
those
initiatives
and
and
making
sure
that
they're
working
that
they're
having
the
intended
impact
and
and
really
being
open
and
transparent
about
how
those
evaluation
mechanisms
are
coming
together.
B
So
so,
as
I
think
about
this
work,
I
think
about
the
juncture
in
time
that
we're
in
which
is,
of
course,
december
of
a
council
cycle
that
is
ending
with
new
council
members,
waiting
at
the
doorstep
to
to
take
their
seat
in
our
offices
and
in
a
very
high
profile.
Community
driven
work.
A
work
group
that
the
mayor
has
put
together
on
community
safety,
with
reputable
voices
such
as
the
kima
levy,
pounds
as
well
as
sheila,
nazad
and
and
many
many
others.
B
And
so
as
as
I
look
at
at
this
work,
I
really
feel
like
it's
important
for
the
city
to
take
the
time
to
allow
the
investments
that
we
made
last
year
and
a
couple
of
months
ago
and
the
year
before,
to
fully
mature
and
to
to
settle
in
the
organization.
So
we
can
fully
integrate
them
across
all
the
departments
that
they
need
to
be
touching
and
collaborating
with.
B
B
And
so
I
I
want
you
know
my
desire
is
to
allow
those
investments
that
we've
made
to
mature,
to
and
I'll
speak
to
myself
right
here
to
just
sort
of
stop
having
this
kind
of
knee-jerk
reaction
to
just
dumping
money
at
the
problem
without
having
a
planful
thoughtful
approach
at
what
at
what
we
need
to
be
doing
and
and
again,
I'm
thinking
about
sort
of
the
action
steps
that
I've
taken
this
year,
and
you
know
thinking
through
the
efficacy
of
those
actions
and
and
really
understanding
evaluation
and
the
role
that
the
lessons
learned
plays
in
what
we
do
next
you
know
I
myself
have
probably
spent
five
years
working
on
a
specific
initiative.
B
The
law
enforcement
assisted
diversion
program
which
was
initially
brought
forward
by
susan
siegel.
Who
was
you
know,
then
our
city
attorney
and
eventually
evolved,
evolved
and
iterated
to
the
point
where
community
members
and
foundations
and
others
stepped
up
to
carry
that
conversation,
because
we
at
the
city
got
distracted
with
so
many
other
pro
programs
and
initiatives
that
we
wanted
to
explore
and
experiment
with,
and
so
I
just
I
just
want
to
share
that.
B
I
would
prefer
that
these
kinds
of
investments
and
ideas
and
initiatives
be
vetted
by
the
work
group
that
the
mayor
has
put
together,
because
it
is
sort
of
a
bigger
space
of
accountability
where
these
discussions
can
happen
that
are
going
to
hopefully
be
more
and
better
supported
by
community
leaders
and
community
residents,
who
essentially
ran
a
campaign
on
this
for
the
last
you
know,
12
to
2
years
and
even
more,
if
you
consider
the
days
when
knock
was
alive
and
well
and
and
they
started
to
publicly
coin
the
narrative
of
community
safety
beyond
policing,
and
so
this
this
is
a
very
dynamic
and
complex
and
large
field
of
inquiry
in
terms
of
the
kinds
of
initiatives
and
interventions
the
city
could
do
so.
B
I
I
think
I
would
prefer
that
these
kinds
of
things
again
be
presented
to
the
work
group
that
the
mayor
has
put
together
around
public
safety
and
reform
for
the
police
department
and
maybe
other
systems
of
the
city,
make
sure
that
it's
been
well
in
well:
alignment
with
the
restructuring
of
our
local
city
governance.
When
voters
approved
question
number
one
this
past
december
and
and
and
I
would
be
interested
in-
maybe
seeing
a
different
source-
and
maybe
there
could
be
different
ways
to
to
come
up
with.
B
You
know,
sources
from
from
different
parts
of
the
enterprise,
but
but
I
think
sequentially
to
me.
It
makes
the
most
the
most
sense
from
an
efficacy
perspective
from
a
lesson
learned
perspective
and
from
a
sustainability
perspective
to
really
package
these
kinds
of
decisions,
investments
and
strategies
with
a
well
thought
out
planned.
You
know
multi-year
plan.
B
It
just
feels
like
it's
a
little
bit
of
a
disservice
to
those
efforts
when
we
don't
allow
our
city
staff
and
the
community
partners
that
we're
funding
through
these
resources
to
mature
in
their
practice
in
their
design
and
to
be
able
to
implement
lessons
learned
and
evaluations
that
can
inform
some
of
these
ideas
and
initiatives,
and
if
that
body
of
work
does
exist,
you
know
I
would
love
to
have
been
exposed
to
that
before
today's
vote,
because
I
don't,
I
don't
think
I
can
support
this.
B
C
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
all
of
this
discussion
around
these.
I
don't
know
that
there
is
any
controversy
in
terms
of
these
kinds
of
things
being
needed.
We
had
some
concerns
with
how
fast
we
can
stand
up
and
operationalize
this
money
as
we
have
in
the
past.
C
I
appreciate
that,
and
I
hear
you
director
cotton
when
you
talk
about
how
hard
it
is
to
use
public
money
and
to
do
so
in
a
way
where
we're
quickly
trying
to
stand
up
these
programs
using
a
general
fund
reserve
balance
also
helps
us
do
things
like
avoid
layoffs.
It
helps
us
avoid
wage
freezes.
Is
it
and
it's
a
tool
for
us
to
deal
with?
C
C
Are
you
set
on
using
this
source,
or
would
you
be
open
to
reworking
this
motion
with
a
different
source
of
funding
for
all
of
motion
11
at
this
time?
Oh
I'm,
sorry.
I
also
didn't
realize
there
were
some
other
people
in
queue.
So
that's
my
that's.
My
question:
if
you're
ready
to
answer
it
now
great
otherwise,
I
I'd
invite
I'll
bring
the
other
people
back
into
the
queue
and
then
come
back.
E
Manager,
I
can-
I
can
address
that
as
this
was
the
discussion
was
going.
We
were
hearing
the
feedback,
councilmember
cunningham
ham,
and
I
have
emailed
a
version
of
this
amendment
that
uses
arpa
phase
two
for
this
entire
motion.
We
did
also
use
that
funding
source
recently
through
the
pogo
process
for
a
couple
of
other
items.
I'm
glad
to
hear
that
the
mayor
is
supportive
of
that
approach.
I'm
glad
to
hear
so
many
council
members
are
supportive
of
this
motion
together
with
finance.
E
There
has
been
no
public
proposal
of
arpa
phase
two,
so
the
intention
of
councilmember
cunningham
and
I
is
to
make
this
decision
as
part
of
the
2022
budget,
so
that
our
office
of
violence,
prevention
and
office
of
performance
innovation
can
continue
this
work
without
interruption
with
the
resources
that
they
need
to
do
the
work
in
the
same
way
that
every
other
city
department
needs
and
deserves
to
be
treated,
and
we
still
have
not
heard
from
mr
smith.
Could
we
please
pause
and
let
him
speak
to
the
second
piece
of
this
issue?
E
C
With
apologies
to
the
people
that
were
in
queue,
thank
you.
So
I
also
heard
council
member
cunningham
speaking
in
the
background,
councilmember
cunningham.
You
are
also
on
board
with
moving
this.
As
a
substitute
did
I
hear
that
right.
C
Got
it?
Thank
you,
so
what
you
see
before
you
has
a
whole
different
source
of
money.
It
uses
the
arpa
money.
The
american
rescue
plan
act,
money,
unobligated
monies
within
that
balance,
and
I
will
invite
mr
smith
to
speak
to
the
second
part
of
this
amendment.
The
part
that's
on
the
bottom
that
says
part
two.
X
Good
afternoon,
madam
chair
committee,
members,
so
much
has
been
said,
since
I
thought
I
was
going
to
go
behind
director
cotton.
A
little
bit
of
my
thoughts
have
been
lost,
but
I
wrote
some
things
down
to
kind
of
ground
people
and
what
my
team
does
and
why
there's
an
ask
for
some
additional
resources.
So,
as
everyone
knows,
we've
done
we're
responsible.
I
have
a
team
of
five
that
are
responsible
for
performance
management
of
all
22
departments
with
127
program
areas
and
we've
done
a
rigorous
metric
selection
process
with
them.
X
I've
been
engaged
with
our
budget
office
so
that
council,
members
and
the
mayor
can
make
informed
decisions
based
on
performance
policy
decisions
and
budget
decisions.
We
have
an
evaluation
function
in
the
city
which
a
lot
of
council
members
have
spoken
to
through
this
process.
We
work
on
innovation
projects
and
we
use
our
innovation
process
to
go
and
do
a
lot
of
the
work
that
we
do,
but
we
also
are
working
on
our
work
cities.
X
The
city
now
is
a
workwork
city
certification,
and
we
have
to
continue
to
do
work
on
that
to
make
sure
that
we
keep
our
certification
current
and
we
offer
human-centered
design
trainings
to
the
entire
city
enterprise
and
outside
of
all
of
that,
we
were
all
asked
to
do
a
heavy
lift
with
public
safety
initiatives,
which
has
resulted
in
the
three
alternative
responses
to
police
that
exist
in
the
city
so
far,
which
is
transferring
calls
from
9-1-1
to
3-1-1
theft
and
report.
Only
so
police
don't
have
to
go
to
those
the
overnight
traffic
response.
X
That's
happening
out
of
public
works,
I'm
sorry
out
of
regulatory
services,
as
well
as
the
mobile
behavioral
health
teams.
That
will
be
on
the
street
this
month,
when
we
we're
also
tasked
with
looking
at
all
of
the
problem
niche
codes
in
the
city,
which
would
which
is
also
being
done
with
those
five
staff
to
look
at
what
police
absolutely
have
to
respond
to,
of
course,
by
state
statute
and
then
to
give
people
some
recommendations
and
give
people
an
idea.
X
We've
not
been
given
any
additional
funding
to
do
that,
and
in
order
to
engage
community
members
and
internal
and
external
stakeholders
in
the
process,
we
need
funding
to
do
so
so
that
we
can
prototype
and
pilot
all
of
the
things
that
we
bring
forward
for
recommendations
that
the
city
council
and
the
mayor
would
like
to
see
move
forward.
X
But
right
now
there
are
no
funds
dedicated
to
doing
any
of
that
work
outside
of
the
ongoing
funding
that
has
been
dedicated
to
the
mobile
behavioral
health
teams.
That
will
be
going
out
on
the
street,
and
so
if
we
are
to
follow
the
process
which
councilmember
mcconnell
actually
explained
really
well
with
doing
research,
different
iterations,
prototyping
and
piloting
and
engaging
the
community
so
that
we
can
co-build
these
solutions.
X
The
only
way
we
can
do
that
is
with
funding
and
right
now
my
staff
has
been
asked
to
do
a
lot,
and
in
doing
so
we
had
to
drop
some
innovation
projects.
We
had
to
drop
some
of
our
evaluation
function,
projects
and
other
projects,
because
we
were
happy
to
take
this
on,
but
what
it's
doing
is.
If
we
can't
get
additional
funding
to
continue
this
work,
then
I'm
not
saying
that
we
can't
do
it,
but
the
skill
at
which
we
can
do
it
and
the
pace
at
which
we
can
do.
X
It
will
literally
be
diminished
if
we
can't
get
additional
resources,
and
so
I'm
not
aware
of
anybody
else
in
the
city
who's.
Looking
at
the
problem
nature
codes
in
this
way,
so
that
we
can
begin
to
figure
out
what
type
of
alternatives
will
be
offering
if
any
at
all.
But
prevention
and
reform
are
two
things
of
the
three-pronged
approach
that
we
were
talking
about,
and
it
seems
that
right
now,
I've
not
had
any
conversations
with
many
people
about
arpa
funds
being
a
source
for
this.
X
But
if
that's
an
option
we're
all
for,
but
I
just
wanted
to.
Let
people
know
what
we're
doing
what
we
were
charged
with
doing
by
this
council
and
what
we'd
like
to
continue
to
do.
But
we
need
the
resources
to
do
it
and
so
that
anybody
has
any
questions
about
that.
Then
I'll
stand
for
questions.
Thank
you.
C
Thank
you.
I
believe
next
in
queue
is
council,
member,
gordon
and
councilmember,
gordon,
I'm
sorry,
it's
taken
so
long
to
get
to
you.
I
do
know
that
there
are
some
of
her.
C
Oh,
I'm
sorry
councilmember
cunningham,
and
I
do
want
to
note
that
we
have
a
number
of
people
in
queue
and
we
are
going
to
start
losing
some
colleagues
and
not
very
long
for
other
meetings,
but
perhaps
we
can
still
take
care
of
this
and
dispense
with
this
motion
today.
So
councilmember
cunningham,
you
have
the
floor.
U
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
There
was
just
a
lot
of
incorrect
information
that
was
pontificated
by
previous
council
members
who
spoke,
so
I
just
wanted
to
to
make
clear
that
there
may
be
council
members
who
have
positively
thrown
money
at
problems
with
unintentionality,
but
that
is
not
the
way
that
I
operate
and
that's
not
the
way
council
president
vendor
has
operated.
You
know
I've
been
doing
this
work
for
six
years
and
only
bring
forward
work.
That's
thought
out
and
based
on
research.
U
U
That
the
reason
why
it's
so
hard,
sometimes
for
ovp,
to
get
the
money
out
to
contracts
with
community-based
organizations
is
because
of
our
own
financial
policies
and
for
like
procurement
or
contracting.
Excuse
me,
like
processes
that
you
know
I've
been
trying
to
figure
out.
I've
been
trying
to
help
I've
been
trying
to.
You
know
that
there
have
been
multiple
of
us
who
have
been
trying
to
work
through
that.
U
That
is
not
at
the
fault
of
the
office
of
violence
prevention,
that
is
our
own
financial
policies
getting
in
the
way
of
quickly
and
effectively
funding
and
paying
community
members
to
do
work
that
the
city
is
not
doing,
and
so
this
process
takes
a
long
time.
So
I
ask
for
my
colleagues
to
please
support
this
amended.
U
This
amendment
amended
amendment
with
this
funding
source.
We
cannot
wait
a
few
months
to
begin
the
process
of
possibly
funding
this
summer
comes
every
single
year
and
the
evidence
and
research
is
abundantly
clear
that
every
single
summer,
whenever
it
gets
hot,
violent
crime
goes
up,
and
so
we
cannot
wait
until,
like
march
to
start
having
the
conversations
about
what
are
we
going
to
do
or
what
is
the
city
going
to
do
for
the
summer?
U
So
this
is
meant
to
get
a
running
head
start
to
prepare
for
that
spike.
By
doing
the
work
now
immediately,
so
and
and
to
also
just
share,
we
funded
in
last
year's
budget,
an
epidemiologist
in
the
office
of
violence
prevention
to
be
able
to
help
with
evaluation
and
impact
the
250
thousand
dollars
to
purchase
and
license
a
program
information
system.
That
also
is
evaluation
based.
That
evaluation
is
inherently
built
into
the
public
health
approach,
and
so
so
that
is
something
that
we
have
been
doing.
U
You
know
we
created
space
in
the
public
health
and
safety
committee
over
the
last
year
and
a
half
for
all
of
this
information
to
be
brought
forward.
Almost
nothing
here
is
new,
and
so
I
just
want
to
want
to
really
share
that
component
of
it.
I
this
is
work
that
I've
been
doing
for
years.
I've
worked
closely
with
city
staff
council
president
bender
has
as
well.
U
We
have
the
work
here
in
front
of
us
asking
a
committee
of
folks
who
are
not
public
health
experts
who
are
not
in
the
nitty-gritty
in
this
kind
of
way
that
just
kicks
this
down
the
road
when
we
know
that
this
works
so
I'll
just
leave
it
at
that
and
ask
for
folks
to
please
support
this
updated
amendment,
because
the
urgency
is
there.
I
cannot
in.
U
I
cannot
stand
by
while
you
know
we
talk
about
financial
policies
and
we
talk
about
fiscal
responsibility,
but
yet
we're
not
doing
everything
we
can
right
now
to
address
children
being
killed,
violence
happening
gunshots
and
just
saying
well
we'll
do
that
in
a
couple
of
months.
We
have
to
do
this
now,
and
so
I
ask
for
folks
to
please
support
this
amendment.
C
Thank
you
just
making
sure
I
have
the
people
in
queue
right.
We
have
council
president
bender
and
then
council,
member,
gordon
and
then
council,
member
fletcher
in
q
and
then
council
member
kano
with
a
question
council
member
bender.
Did
you
have
anything
more
to
add?
No,
I'm
good.
I
jumped
in
to
answer
your
questions.
E
G
Thank
you
very
much
and
I'll
be
supporting
this
motion.
I
was
actually
ready
to
support
the
original
motion
and
I
wasn't
necessarily
when
I
first
saw
it
because
I
was
concerned
about
the
cash
on
hand,
but
it
was
clear
to
me,
after
talking
to
finance
staff,
that
even
when
we
took
the
3.5
million
for
these
uses,
we
were
still
above
our
17
policy,
and
so
what
I
would
suggest
is
when
we
set
those
policies.
We
should
be
real
about
them.
G
We
should
honor
them
and
then
we
shouldn't
set
them
at
some
percentage
and
then
think,
but
we
really
think
we
should
have
six
percent
more
in
on
hand,
but
we're
not
going
to
make
that
our
policy
because
it
makes
it
harder
to
make
decisions.
So
I
don't
think
this
this
budget
cycle
we're
necessarily
going
to
be
contemplating
changing
the
17,
but
people
should
know
that
even
with
this
we
still
would
have
been
at
over
18
percent.
G
According
to
finance
staff
and
the
information
I
got.
So
I
appreciate
that
and
if
it
were
up
to
me,
I
would
suggest
maybe
we
should
bump
it
up
to
20
percent.
C
You,
council,
member
gordon
and
I
do
think
that's
a
good
idea,
but
I
don't
know
that
we
can
change
that
in
in
the
short
run
here.
We've
just
never
come
close
to
having
a
problem
with
it
before,
but
it's
certainly
something
that
I
have
written
down
from
this
since
last
night
that
we
really
need
to
look
at
in
the
in
the
future
council
member
fletcher.
I
Thank
you,
chef,
amazon,
I'll,
be
very
brief
because
I
think
most
of
what
I
would
have
wanted
to
say
is
covered,
but
I
do
just
want
to
if
any
of
my
colleagues
are
feeling
like
this
has
not
been
presented
or
discussed
in
committee.
I
I
would
encourage
you
to
go
back
and
watch
some
of
the
phs
committee
meetings,
where
we
have
gotten
regular
updates
from
from
this
department
about
both
the
things
that
currently
enacted,
many
of
which
they
enacted
in
a
small
way,
and
this
is
and
these
items
are
expanding
and
about
their
future
plans.
I
think
this
has
been
more
discussed
in
committee
than
many
of
the
items
that
we
have
already
voted
to
approve
today
and
and
is
being
done
in
a
very
planful
way.
I
You
know,
councilmember
cunningham
deserves
a
lot
of
credit
in
his
role
as
chair
for
really
curating
that
conversation
to
make
sure
that
this
has
gotten
a
lot
of
public
discussion
and
a
lot
of
public
attention
and
opportunity
for
comment
and
and
for
people
to
understand
these
programs,
so
I'm
very
excited
to
support
them
today.
We
really
can't
do
it
soon
enough.
I'm
not
gonna,
be
the
one
next
term
getting
the
calls
about.
I
B
And
you
know
I
didn't
mean
to
have
you
know
a
few
council
members
trying
to
mansplain
to
me
like
what's
been
happening
with
this
public
discussion,
it's
great
that
the
public
conversations
happening.
The
question
is
the
metrics,
the
evaluation,
the
impact,
and
so
you
can
just
go
out
into
the
community
and
find
out
if
these
things
have
been
working
or
not,
I
get
it.
B
We
won't
be
the
people
taking
these
calls
next
year
and
the
calls
will
come
with
or
without
these
investments,
so
it
is
kind
of
a
yeah
just
a
continued
dialogue.
On
this
front.
I
do
have
a
question
for
the
director
of
budget,
so
if
this
allocation
moves
forward
today,
which
would
be
3.5
million,
how
much
would
be
left
in
the
arpa
phase,
two
funds
that
are
supposed
to
be
allocated
with
community
input
this
next
spring.
F
Director,
thank
you
for
the
question
council,
member
cono
and
chair
palmisano.
So
currently
we
have
38
million
dollars
that
is
unobligated
in
our
arpa
fund.
This
would
bring
us
down
to
34.9
million
dollars.
We
expect
to
have
more
than
that
available
for
phase
two
appropriations,
and
that's
because
in
between
now
and
when
those
recommendations
are
made,
we
will
have
a
rollover
process
where
we
will
be
taking
a
look
at
how
departments
are
performing,
how
they're
able
to
spend
dollars.
F
Some
departments
have
run
into
roadblocks
or
eligibility
issues,
as
they've
tried
to
set
up
set
up
their
programs
and
start
spending
those
dollars.
So
we
will
be
monitoring
that
doing
a
rollover
process.
Like
I
said
between
december
and
january,
we
expect
that
some
dollars
will
be
cancelled
to
the
bottom
line
of
that
fund
and
available
for
reappropriation,
so
34.9
million
is
sort
of
the
minimum
amount
we
expect
there
to
be
more,
and
so
one
one
example
would
be
for
several
of
the
arpa
proposals
in
round
one.
F
We
included
staff
dollars
for
folks
for
the
next
three
years
and
if
those
staff
maybe
have
not
been
hired
yet
or
will
will
be
hired
in
december,
then
that
the
budget
that
was
unspent
from
that
would
be
spent
on
hiring
someone
from
july
through
december
would
be
canceled
to
the
bottom
line
and
we
could
reappropriate
it
and
that's
really
important
for
these
funds,
just
because
of
the
timeline
that
we
have
on
spending
them.
F
B
Could
you
just
kind
of
prognosticate
how
much
rollover
funding
we're
expecting?
Will
it
be
like
one
million
dollars
or
more
like
10
million.
F
It
is
very
hard
to
say
right
now.
I
think,
just
in
the
staffing
costs
for
staff
positions
that
were
appropriated
but
have
not
been
filled
yet
I
would
imagine
we'd
get
at
least
a
million
dollars
when
we
get
into
the
rest
of
the
programs
that
may
or
may
not
be
started.
I
don't
have
a
good
figure
right
now.
We
expect
to
have
good
information
on
that
shortly
and
then
final
information
in
january,
but
a
million
dollars
is
a
safe
bet.
I
would
say.
C
E
Thanks,
madam
chair,
I
appreciate
the
support
that
has
been
voiced
for
this
important
investment
in
public
safety.
I
have
to
save
all
the
things
I
will
you
know
as
I
I'm
happily
retiring
from
the
city
council.
I
will
miss
these
discussions.
The
least
I
have
been
involved
in
bringing
or
supporting
amendments
to
the
budget
related
to
public
safety.
E
Using
you
know,
change
from
the
couch
cushions
using
mpd
as
a
funding
source
using
various
funding
sources,
everything
from
tiny
amounts
of
money
like
ten
thousand
dollars
to
more
significant
investments,
and
it
always
seems
to
descend
into
name
calling
and
the
kind
of
political
posturing
that
doesn't
happen
with
any
other
topic,
and
it
disappoints
me
every
single
time.
Like
all
of
those
previous
proposals,
this
one
was
developed
in
good
faith.
E
This
was
developed
through
careful
work
over
many
years
by
staff
in
the
city
of
minneapolis,
multiple
national
consultants,
and
I
really
wish
that
our
city
council
would
stop
insulting
the
integrity
of
this
work
over
and
over
and
over
again,
if
you
don't
like
the
council
members
who
are
bringing
the
amendments,
bring
them
yourselves,
but
stop
insulting
the
staff
in
the
work
for
to
score
political
points.
It's
it's
ridiculous
and
it
needs
to
stop.
This
is
a
a
common
sense
investment
in
important
public
safety
that
everyone
says
when
they're
talking
is
unanimously
supported.
E
This
is
such
a
good
idea.
We
love
this
both
and
whatever
whatever
and
then,
when
we
come
to
actually
making
the
investments
and
actually
making
the
proposals,
we
see
the
kind
of
ugliness
that
has
no
place
in
this
kind
of
discussion.
So
please,
as
this
work
continues.
I
really
hope
folks
will
take
the
time
to
speak
to
the
staff
who
are
leading
this
work
to
attend
the
committee
meetings
and
take
the
time
to
listen
to
the
hours
of
careful
presentation.
E
So
I
just
couldn't
let
this
go
without
saying
that.
I
don't
think
that
the
conversations
that
this
council
has
descended
into
whenever
it
discusses
public
safety
are
reflective
of
the
kind
of
body
that
people
espouse
to
be
a
part
of
want
to
be
a
part
of.
I
have
done
an
enormous
amount
of
work
over
the
past
four
years
to
try
to
mitigate
that,
to
have
conversations
with
people
and
I'm
I'm
sad
to
see
that
it
just
cannot
stop
no
matter
what
approach
is
taken.
I
hope
my
colleagues
will
support
this
today.
E
O
Yeah,
thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
just
want
to
say
I
appreciate
the
authors
for
switching
the
source
on
this.
I
had
concerns
around
the
original
source,
but
this
certainly,
I
think,
resolves
those
concerns.
I
also
appreciate
the
inclusion
of
the
funding
for
opi
to
continue
the
work
to
prototype
out
additional
programs
here
that
can
really
help
in
the
larger
picture.
So
I
appreciate
the
motion
I'll
be
supporting
it.
C
Thank
you,
and,
as
I
mentioned,
my
issue
and
arguments
here
were
truly
about
the
source
of
this
money.
I
am
glad
we've
dispensed
with
people
in
this
discussion
and
I
will
invite
the
clerk
to
please
call
the
role
on
this
last
motion
for
budget
markup,
council.
H
C
Thank
you
that
motion
carries,
and
I
think
that
is
a
nice
point
of
agreement
to
end
on
so,
let's
just
see,
we
have
dispensed
with
all
of
the
amendments
that
are
ready
to
come
here
today.
I'm
just
checking
all
of
the
cues.
So
with
that
colleagues,
we've
completed
the
packet
of
fully
prepared
amendments.
C
I
don't
I'm
hearing
from
budget
staff
that
they
don't
think
that
monday's
meeting
is
necessary.
They
were
able
to
do
this
work
and
switch
the
source.
Thank
you
for
being
so
nimble
on
your
feet.
So,
instead
of
adjourning,
I'm
going
to
go
so
far
as
to
move
approval
of
the
2022
budget
as
listed
on
the
agenda
and
as
amended
by
this
body
today,
this
motion
formally
forwards
the
2022
budget
package
to
the
december
8th
city
council
meeting.
C
I
do
have
a
question
about
that,
which
is,
since
we've
changed
the
source
on
this
last
one
to
use
arpa
money.
Do
we
need
to
take
some
separate?
Do
we
have
to
send
that
somewhere
separate
from
here,
because
this
is
then
the
last
budget
committee
meeting
of
the
year
I'll
invite
the
city
clerk
or
director
kruver
to
weigh
in
on
that
the
city
clerk
says?
No,
the
whole
packet
goes
to
the
adjourned
council
meeting,
so
this
last
piece
will
be
included
in
that
packet.
Is
there
any
further
discussion
council,
member
johnson.
O
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
just
want
to
mention
quickly
that
I'll
be
bringing
forward
an
amendment
at
that
wednesday
meeting.
It's
actually
something
I've
been
working
on
this
week
with
starting
at
the
beginning
of
the
week,
with
director,
kruver
and
with
department
leadership
as
well.
It's
a
minor
amendment
for
thirty
thousand
dollars
related
to
leadership
development
for
the
next
council
and
mayor
to
tap
into
just
so
we
can
continue
finding
ways
to
work
as
well
as
possible
as
a
body.
I
know,
there's
a
lot
of
work.
O
The
staff
have
been
doing
on
this
as
well.
That's
supportive
of
that
direction
and
look
forward
to
bringing
that
forward,
but
I
didn't
want
to
mention
it
since
it
was
just
one
of
these
things
with
all
these
other
amendments
that
it
we
we
had
a
language
essentially
ready
or
or
near
ready,
late
last
night
after
working
on
it
all
week,
but
it
was
just
very
last
minute
with
everything
else
going
on
and
thought.
Oh,
this
can
frankly
wait
until
wednesday.
O
So
I
know
I
worked
with
you,
madam
chair
on
that
timeline
change
around
that,
but
just
didn't
want
anyone
to
be
surprised
and
then
I
will
send
that
out
before
wednesday's
meeting
as
well.
So
everyone
gets
a
chance
to
review
in
advance.
C
Thank
you
other
items
we
are
sending
forward
until
next
wednesday.
You
might
remember
early
on
in
today's
meeting,
was
a
note
from
council
member
fletcher
talking
about
his
desire
to
add
potentially
some
additional
money
for
the
labor
standards,
co-enforcement
teams
and
then
also
we
will
have
to
see
what
council
member
osman
wishes
to
do
with
his
proposal
that
he
wasn't
able
to
bring
forward
himself
today.
So
those
things
will
go
to
wednesday
and
I
will
invite
the
clerk
to
call
the
role
on
this
motion
that
will
send
everything
to
full
council.
H
D
A
L
D
O
C
Are
12
eyes?
Thank
you.
I
do
want
to
go
back.
I
I
did
not
see.
Sometimes
I
get
these
in
packs
of
three.
It
does
look
like
council.
Vice
president
jenkins
was
in
queue.
Did
you
have
something
that
you
wanted
to
say
before
I
finish
off
my
script
and
cancel
monday's
meeting.
H
I
do
want
to
just
state
that
I
I
am
I'm
proud
to
support
this
budget
and
thank
all
my
colleagues
for
their
very
thoughtful
considerations
of
all
the
issues
that
we
have
discussed
continued
to
work
on
proposed
setting
ourselves
up
for
success
in
in
the
upcoming
council
term
and
in
subsequent
years.
So
thank
you.
Everyone.
C
Thank
you.
I,
like
ending
on
that
note.
This
motion
before
us
that
the
clerk
called
the
roll-on
carries.
The
2022
budget
package
is
referred
to
the
adjourned
meeting
of
the
city
council,
scheduled
for
this
coming
wednesday
december
8th
at
6
05
pm.
C
As
we
have
dispensed
with
our
markup
of
the
2022
budget,
I
will
formally
direct
the
clerk
to
proceed
with
canceling
budget
committee
meeting
that
was
scheduled
for
december
6th
at
1
30
and
to
send
out
notice
of
this
cancellation,
seeing
no
further
business
before
us
and
without
objection.
I
will
declare
this
meeting
adjourned.
Thank
you.
Everyone.
