Great
and
then
for
the
acceptance
of
the
minutes
from
june,
should
we
drop
that
in
the
chat
too
before
we
have
a
motion
to
accept,
or
did
everyone
receive
the
previous
emails?
With
minutes
from
our
last
two
meetings,
we
had
the
june
16th
and
then
the
june
23rd
special
meeting
and
tina
sent
across
both
of
those.
H
H
It's
it's
probably
really
picky,
but
this
comes
from
my
years
of
doing
a
lot
of
minutes
and
staffing
commissions,
but
number
11.
It
says
it
was
about
the
ordinance
and
it
says
the
motion
was
for
approval
of
the
ordinance
and
actually
what
we
do
is
the
motion
would
be
to
recommend
approval
of
the
ordinance
to
the
city
council.
So
I
think
it
if
you
read
it
like
it
is,
it
looks
like
we
approved
it
and
that
wasn't
what
we
did.
We
were
recommending
approval
to
the
city
council.
B
B
B
B
B
A
B
Beautiful
okay,
so
we've
got
our
first
call
to
order
aside.
We
are
rolling
along
we're
going
to
move
on
to
the
introductions
next,
so
we
have
a
new
commissioner
on
the
line
and
I'm
just
going
to
jump
right
in
with
you
jack.
If
that's
okay,
that
way,
you
can
give
yourself
a
proper
introduction.
I
know
mandy
and
mari
and
joan
were
meeting
with
you
over
the
course,
but
for
many
of
us
you
are
a
new
friendly
face.
So
welcome.
J
B
Awesome
thanks
so
much
for
that.
No
more
welcome
until
we
can
see
you
again
in
person
in
the
following
months
ahead.
So
this
is
a
nice
holding
space.
For
that
I
appreciate
your
intro
and
usually
what
we
do.
Next
is
just
a
little
round
table
so
we'll
work
through
commissioners,
staff
and
guests
on
the
lines
we
go.
French.
I
see
you
there.
Thank
you
for
joining
us
this
evening.
So
we'll
just
do
a
little
a
game
of
tag
here,
I'll
get
started
briefly.
My
name
is
lana
ailsworth.
B
F
I
had
my
trigger
on
the
button.
I
love
that
teams,
teams
and
and
max
don't
get
along,
sometimes
so,
there's
a
delay
right
there,
but
hello
everyone.
I
am
mandy
bedbury.
I
am
a
commissioner
from
ward
10..
This
is
my
third
year
on
the
commission
serving
on
the
access
and
engagement
alt,
which
has
been
super
exciting
because
we
get
to
invite
amazing
artists,
such
as
tamiko
french,
to
come
and
talk
and
tell
us
a
little
bit
about
what
they
do
during
during
the
day.
C
I'm
on
a
mac-
okay,
I'm
also
on
a
mac.
So
you
have
to
count
to
four
well
good,
because
I
was
gonna,
give
you
a
shout
out
for
amazing
professional
development
sessions
through
impov,
because
mandy
has
been
doing
workshops
with
my
school,
which
we
just
absolutely
love
and
built
that
connection
through
the
arts,
commission,
so
lots
of
opportunities.
C
My
name
is
ahava
silky
jones
and
yes,
I
have
a
one-year-old
who
finds
her
way
into
every
meeting.
If
you
haven't
heard
it
yet,
you
will
soon
and
I
represent
ward
7.
I
am
an
arts
educator
arts
administrator
and
have
worked
in
different
spaces
throughout
throughout
the
field
of
education
and
arts,
and
I
am
and
have
been
with
the
commission
for
two
years
now
and
just
really
love
seeing
the
growth
and
progress
that's
happening
on
this
on
this
commission
and
in
minneapolis
around
the
arts
right
now.
So
I
will
tag
commissioner
mansfield.
E
K
D
H
Yep,
thank
you.
Hi
everybody
lucy
thompson,
I'm
in
ward,
10..
She
burpers
I'm
an
art
slave
person
as
well
and
jack.
Now
that
you're
on
the
commission,
I'm
no
longer
the
newest
member,
but
I've
only
been
on
about
three
months
three
or
three
months.
I
think
so.
My
brand
new,
my
background
is
in
city
planning,
actually
urban
design
and
public
art
policy.
H
So
that's
what
I'm
I'm
really
looking
forward
to
working
on
the
new
public,
heart
policy
and
the
ordinance
and
all
of
that.
So
it's
just
great
to
be
part
of
this
group.
I'm
I
love
the
introductions
every
time,
because
I
just
hear
something
a
little
bit
new
about
every
everyone.
Every
time
we
do
it.
So
I
appreciate
that
as
well.
So
welcome.
A
I
B
B
I
love
it
not
too
many
spoiler
alerts.
Thank
you
also.
You
know
I'm
in
business
as
usual
mode
here,
because
it's
my
first
meeting
to
leave
and
I
didn't
ask
what
everybody's
been
up
to
or
their
favorite
art
thing
so
take
a
moment
close
your
eyes,
think
about
all
of
the
art
things
you
did,
that
you
loved
so
firmly,
and
everybody
will
get
that
message
because
I
had
some
good
ones.
B
I
went
to
the
the
mandala
creations
that
was
at
lakewood
cemetery
that
was
really
quite
beautiful
and
really
fun
to
experience
with
my
two
kiddos,
so
I
always
like
when
it
has
public
art
that
has
a
community
element
that
has
like
an
all
ages
component
to
it,
that's
out
in
nature,
so
I
thought
that
was
phenomenal
and
it's
certainly
not
to
discount
all
the
many
things
that
everybody
else
does.
I.
B
B
You
know
I
know
mandy
shared
one
of
the
arts
events
that
she
was
going
to
attend
on
an
exact
thread,
and
I
thought
that
that's
that
should
be
a
really
appropriate
way
to
promote
arts
in
minneapolis
to
be
able
to
share
that
both
in
this
space
and
and
via
email.
As
long
as
it's
not,
you
know,
full
reply,
all
messages,
if
you
will
food
for
thought,
we'll
consider
that
so,
let's
move
on
we're
gonna
get
a
little
update
here
from
tina
on
in-person
meetings.
Coming
to
a
commission
near
you,
hina.
A
A
E
A
That's
a
great
question,
so
in
the
past
I've
provided
either
metro
transit
ride
tickets
or
we
had
at
the
time
we
were
in
the
crown
roller.
So
I
provided
parking
passes
for
the
mill.
I
think
it's
mill
city
parking
ramp,
but
now
that
we're
in
the
new
building,
which
is
a
kitty
corner
from
city
hall,
we're
we'll
get
parking
tickets
for
the
hoff
ramp.
So
I'm
working
on
that
because
mary
needs
some
tickets
coming
up
soon,
so
I'll
have
those
ready
to
go
by
then.
A
So
I
guess
I
should
probably
find
out
if
anyone
needs
metro
transit
ride
tickets
because
they
expire-
if
we
don't
use
them
this
year.
So
I
don't
want
to
order
a
lot
of
them
because
I
don't
know
what
our
situation
is
going
to
be.
But
with
the
parking
passes
I
I
can
get
those
those
they
don't
charge
you
for
those.
Only
when
you
redeem
them
we
get
charged,
but
the
the
metro,
transit
tickets
are
only
good
through
the
end
of
this
year.
B
Great
thanks
for
that
tina.
You
know.
I
really
appreciate
to
you
navigating
all
the
the
many
different
ever-changing
status
for
our
meetings.
It's
really
helpful
to
hear
updates
from
you,
and
you
know
we
do
ride.
Shares
too,
like
I
used
to
carpool
with
janae
to
meetings,
because
she
was
in
my
neighborhood
a
former
commissioner,
and
so
you
know
if
anybody
ever
ever
needs
a
lift
or
wants
to
save
on
parking.
So
it's
just
one
phone,
a
friend,
great
okay,
so
any
additional
announcements.
B
Anybody
anybody,
let's
just
say
you
know
the
ordinance
passed.
I
mentioned
that
to
the
few
callers
who
are
early
login,
but
that's
some
really
exciting
work.
We'll
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
later
in
the
meeting,
but
I'm
throwing
it
out
there
because
I'm
excited
about
it
right
now.
So
great
news:
okay,
we're
going
to
move
on
to
our
fabulous
guest,
speaker
access
and
engagement
team.
Does
anybody
want
to
do
an
intro
before?
F
We
were
educators
together
at
north
high
school
and
it's
really
exciting
to
see
what
she's
been
doing
with
the
young
people
around
the
city
and
I'm
super
excited
to
have
asked
her
and
she
accept
the
invitation
to
come
and
let
us
know
a
little
bit
about
what
she's
doing
with
legacy
arts
and
if
you
see
them
coming
into
your
neighborhood
to
do
stuff.
I
highly
recommend
do
it
or
like
checking
it
out,
but
I
will
just
turn
it
over
to
tamiko
she's
amazing
and
I
love
her
energy,
and
so
thank
you.
Tamiko
for
joining
us.
L
L
L
L
In
in
direct
connection
with
my
upbringing,
I
wanted
to
provide
a
way
for
students
to
get
the
real
world
application
of
what
they
chose
to
be
doing
in
high
school.
Originally
north
was
a
magnet
school
and
you
focused
on
your
career
path
in
high
school
and
most
young
people.
Don't
really
get
to
experience
that
now,
because
most
schools
are
not
magnet
focused.
L
So
a
team
of
us
that
had
been
at
north
began
with
me
to
develop
a
open
and
organic
curriculum
that
would
allow
students
to
use
who
they
are
at
minneapolis
youth,
going
through
this
particular
experience
in
life
right
now
to
build
an
original
show
that
represented
who
they
are
and
how
they
feel
and
what
they
have
to
say,
intent
and
purposeful,
and
be
able
to
perform
that
on
various
stages
in
the
city.
We
were
lucky
enough
to
work
with
the
mania.
L
The
orchestra
hall,
the
minneapolis
chamber,
orchestra
and
symphony
orchestra
and
then
also
plans
to
work
with
ordway
and
our
premiere
show
was
going
to
be
on
the
ninth
floor
at
the
guthrie
theater
through
their
education
department
that
was
20
20..
That's
where
it's
enough.
We
became
a
group
that
was
trying
to
survive.
L
So
my
work
as
the
director
once
coveted
hit
and
then
also
the
murder
of
george
floyd,
became
more
of
a
caretaker
making.
Sure
my
cast
members
and
their
families
were
doing
all
right.
We
received
a
mila
grant
to
carry
out
community
work
and
that
changed
shape
over
the
year,
depending
on
what
the
cast
were
needed,
as
well
as
the
school
was
needing,
because
it
was
an
slated
for
north
high
school
after
we
use
those
funds
to
produce
community
work.
L
School
work
both
around
education,
because
you
know
being
distance
learning,
was
very
difficult
for
our
student
population,
so
really
pruitt
into
that.
We
ended
up
losing
the
majority
of
the
cast
and
having
to
recast
and
also
find
different
team
members
as
well,
which
is
all
understandable,
because
life
shifts.
So
currently,
what
we
are
doing
is
pretty
exciting.
L
It's
the
event
is
called
the
vessel
open
mic
and
the
vessel
open
mic
is
wanting
to
call
out
those
things
that
are
inside
of
the
youth.
What
are
they
a
vessel
for?
What
do
they
represent?
How
do
they
come
and
show
up
for
life,
and
any
medium
is,
is
welcome
in
these
open
mics
and
we
are
planning
to
do
four
of
them.
The
first
one
happened
at
north
common
park
where
we
were
able
to
be
in
the
midst
of
a
pool
party
and
some
playground.
L
That
has
gotten
away
and
become
more
digital,
right
and
so
being
able
to
be
in
front
of
each
other
and
interface
and
have
energy
exchanges
with
each
other
is
is
becoming
more
normal
now,
but
when
we
first
did,
that
in
june
was
a
little
less
normal.
So
our
second
one
that
we've
planned
is
going
to
be
at
modus
locus
at
the
graffiti
garden
over
on
35th
and
bloomington.
L
It
is
a
very
vibrant
space
and
they
partnered
with
us
over
the
last
year,
opening
up
places
of
commerce
and
just
understanding
what
the
pulse
of
the
community
in
this
area
need
in
order
to
still
thrive
amongst
covid
and
the
burning
of
the
buildings
over
here.
I
think
it
was
really
important
to
the
youth
to
be
in
tune
with
this
area.
Some
of
our
students
are
southwest
and
south
high
school
students,
and
so
they
are
very
connected
to
the
community
here.
L
The
powderhorn
area,
neighborhood
association,
is
also
a
supporter
of
this
event,
and
also
agape
is
is,
is
supporting
the
events
of
legacy
arts
group,
as
well
as
some
of
my
personal
events.
So
we
have
a
robust
summer.
That
includes
not
only
the
vessel
open
mic,
but
we
are
also
involved
with
the
parks
park
square,
the
theater,
who
is
doing
their
avenue
performances
coming
up
on
august
12th.
L
We
will
be
featured
a
45-minute
slot
there,
where
we
will
feature
scene
work
from
our
beautiful
ugly,
original
play,
also
music
from
that
soundtrack
and
original
pieces
from
our
youth
as
well.
Our
cast,
let
me
backtrack
a
little
bit.
Our
cast
is
consisting
of
regional
students
from
all
over
mps
and
we
have
one
from
minnetonka
and
they
all
are
my
poc
students
that
are
focused
in
the
arts.
L
We
have
a
playwright
who
has
been
with
me
since
the
very
beginning
of
this
process,
so
he's
seen
all
of
the
ranges
of
what
it's
gone
through
in
hong
kong.
We
have
a
all
the
other
three
are
singer,
songwriters
and
actors.
So
we
have
a
wonderful
group
of
young
people.
I
won't
spoil
it.
I
will
send
a
few
of
our
videos,
so
you
can
see
those
as
well
and
we
also
have
our
next.
L
After
august
12th,
we
have
our
next
venue
that
will
be
a
new
world
night
market,
and
that
is
august.
14Th,
so
that's
a
couple
days
after
that
to
come
out
to
that
venue
particularly
is
focused
on
commerce
amongst
this
particular
community.
So
there
are
businesses
that
are
needing
to
open
the
floor
of
their
sales,
broaden
their
reach
tap
into
various
organizations
that
can
provide
them
support.
L
So
this
event
allows
them
to
tap
into
new
market,
and
it
gives
our
youth
an
opportunity
to
see
in
process
what
that
looks
like
to
be
in
community
and
support.
Community
business
also
gives
them
a
platform
to
perform.
There
is
a
space
for
performance
inside
of
there
and
broaden
their
reach
and
be
able
to
advocate
for
themselves
and
their
mission
to
share
themselves
with
the
world
the
following
after
that
will
be
the
rock
royalty
experience
which
will
be
held
at
38th
in
chicago
at
george
floyd
sprayer.
L
A
few
other
things
that
legacy
arts
group
is
is
working
on
really
building
the
next
generation
of
art
makers,
and
I
say
that
in
com,
in
conjunction
with
a
lot
of
my
teaching
efforts
again,
I
had
been
at
north
for
60
years
and
noticed
that
we
are
not,
except
for
the
college
and
career
readiness
center.
We
are
not
necessarily
preparing
them
for
the
next
step
of
their
life
and
as
artists,
we
are
this
elective.
L
What
it
looks
like
to
be
working
as
an
artist
and
also
what
that
means,
as
well
as
the
exchange
transfer,
they
have
of
building
the
family
and
and
love
around
their
art,
and
it's
not
just
that
they
get
to
make
money,
but
they
get
to
build
relationship
and
really
affect
the
lives
of
the
young
person
and
in
turn
the
young
person
affects
the
life
of
the
working
artist.
We
are
slated
to
work
with
jamisia
bennett
and
sounds
of
blackness
this
year.
L
L
L
G
L
Yes,
yes,
so
I
built
a
relationship
with
them
this
over
this
last
couple
of
months,
and
they
are
also
majorly
supporting
the
effort
to
work
on
this
with
me,
I'm
taking
a
welding
class
with
them
and
also
I'll,
be
teaching
jewelry
freeform,
while
rep
with
them,
and
also
wanting
to
pull
in
young
people
to
learn
those
crafts.
So
they
can
begin
to.
G
G
L
You
getting
involved
they're
they're,
helping
with
the
closure
of
the
street
security
as
well
as
providing
a
stage
for
me,
because
I
will
have
a
couple
of
musical
artists
and
djs
and
things
involved
with
that.
We
have
a
date.
It's
september
5th.
I'm
sorry!
I
did
not
say
that
september
5th
is
sunday,
so
we
don't
push
into
the
school
year.
It's
the
sunday
right
there
before
labor
days.
G
L
L
Yeah,
and
so
I
wanted
to
also
give
them
another
opportunity
for
them
to
get
service
so
between
massage
acupuncture
reiki,
as
well
as
tarot
or
sound
I'll,
be
offering
sound
as
well
tuning
fork
therapy,
and
I
think,
we'll
have
a
few
massage
therapists
folks
can
come
by
and
learn
about
what
to
add
to
their
toolkit
of
wellness
and
self-care
and
healing,
and
then
the
whole
act
of
having
the
runway
style
show.
And
that's
why
I
say
the
modeling
piece
of
it
is
to
share
the
vibrational.
G
G
L
L
G
F
L
G
B
E
L
And
I
wanted
to
add
just
one
thing,
so
the
reason
why
legacy
art
group
exists
is
to
bridge
the
gap
between
opportunities
that
the
district
couldn't
provide
for
the
students.
The
opportunity
was
not
supported
by
the
district,
because
it's
in
august
and
outside
of
their
service
time
is
what
they
said
and
also
more
than
what
they
could
support.
L
So
I
did
not
want
to
say
no
to
them.
There
is
always
a
way,
and
so
I
wanted
to
create
a
way
to
build
support
around
these
young
people
that
are
venturing
to
live
their
dream
of
performing,
and
it's
the
first
time
that
minneapolis
public
schools
from
the
research
that
I've
done
has
been
selected
for
this
program.
It's
been
in
existence
for
about
27
years,
the
american
high
school
theater
festival,
and
they
chose
me
and
I'm
an
alumni
from
minneapolis
public
schools.
L
So
it's
pretty
exciting
and
I
did
not
want
to
give
them
up
room
to
feel
that
there's
doubt
that
they
could
do
something
like
this.
The
other
piece
is
that
it
is
a
two-week
program
where
they
are
able
to
go
to
scotland.
They
start
in
london.
They
do
a
tour
in
london
and
they
move
to
scotland
and
they
stay
at
the
university
of
edinburgh.
They
have
four
performances
on
various
fringe
stages
where
they
share
the
stage
with
about
maybe
50
other
schools
that
are
selected
in
the
united
states
to
go.
L
The
other
really
cool
component
of
this
program
that
we
are
attending
is
that
they
receive
a
college
credit
from
the
university
of
san
diego.
I
believe,
and
they
are
able
to
get
that
credit
through
through
participating
in
in
response
of
their
various
writing,
prompts
and
things
through
the
program,
so
a
really
unique
opportunity
for
them
to
gain
college
credit
in
the
arts.
B
Yeah
there's
a
lot
of
exciting
opportunities
that
you
just
presented.
I
have
a
whole
page
of
notes.
I'm
really
hopeful
it's
all
in
your
website,
so
I
can
go
back
and
we
can
all
look
and
double
check
how
we
can
continue
to
support
this.
Thank
you
for
sharing.
You
know.
I
really,
I
feel
very
strongly
that
you
are
a
nurturer
of
students
and
your
community,
and
I
I
just
want
to
thank
you
so
much
for
taking
time
to
share
that
with
us
today
and
you
know
kudos
to
the
arts
and
engagement
team.
B
This
is
relatively
new
to
us,
so
we've
only
recently,
you
know,
with
the
online
platform
started
welcoming
guests
in
as
an
opportunity
to
get
some
arts
outreach
for
our
commission
when
we
can't
visit
sites.
This
is
fabulous.
I
I
loved
your
presentation
and
it
was
it's
exciting
work
to
follow.
So
thank
you
for
your
time
really
feel
free
to
stay
on
stay
in
touch
with
us,
because
we'd
love
to
continue
it.
That
was
great,
okay
good.
So
now
I
have
to
like
go
back
into
business
mode.
B
Our
next
item
up,
we
have
a
council
member,
fletcher
and
councilmember
jenkins-
are
here
with
us
on
a
busy
back-to-back
day.
Thank
you
for
more
screen
time.
I
am
so
appreciative
of
you
jumping
in
after
we
are
just
reviewing
a
little
bit
about
the
poco
meeting
this
afternoon
and
how
it
was
still
going
on
and
ready.
M
This
is
a
bigger
community
and
we
should
be
making
sure
that
we're
really
bringing
in
a
diversity
of
voices,
and
we
want
to
be
at
the
table
and
see
what
how
we
can
be
a
resource.
But
this
isn't
like
a
loft
project.
This
is
a
bigger
city,
project
and
but
but
they're
happy
to
help,
and
so
that
was
the
first
conversation
I
had.
M
Let's
kind
of
get
this
started
and
and
we'll
figure
out
if
we
can
get
a
little
bit
of
city
resources
into
it,
to
seed
it
and
and
and
give
it
some
seriousness,
and-
and
we
should
try
to
figure
out
how
to
set
the
table
to
have
the
right
people
to
help
us
figure
out
really
what
the
potential
is
of
a
poet
laureate.
What
what
that
program
ought
to
look
like
you
know
how
how
we
ought
to
run
it
and
and
what
we
might
you
know,
really
want
from
it.
M
M
Let's,
let's
start
the
conversation,
we're
on
the
very
front,
end
and
appreciate
your
service
here
and
the
opportunity
for
us
to
come
together
and
think
this
through
and
with
that
I
think
I'll,
see
if
council
vice
president
jenkins
wants
to
add
anything
and
then
let's
just
talk
a
little
about
what
what
this
could
be
and
what
we
think.
Next
steps
might
look
like.
G
I
am
a
loft
alum,
so
I
mean
I
guess
that
prop
provides
a
little
credibility.
Maybe,
but
when
you
mentioned
amanda
gorman,
a
council
member,
you
made
me
think
cause
she
was.
She
was
the
youth
poet
laureate
right
like,
and
so
you
made
me
think.
Not
only
do
we
need
a
poet
laureate,
we
need
a
youth
poet
laureate
too,
and
so
you
know
I
I
think
in
many
ways
the
literary
arts
doesn't
I'm
I'm
a
past
arts,
commission
member
as
well.
G
I
served
on
the
arts
commission
in
the
capacity
that
you
guys
are
in
right
now
for
many
years
and
served
on
the
public
art
committee
for
a
long
time.
So
I
have
some
experience
with
the
arts.
Commission
and
you
know
a
lot
of
times.
The
literary
arts
just
did
not
and
does
not
necessarily
get
the
level
of
musician
or
you
know
oil
painter
or
you
know.
G
That,
I
think,
is
really
exciting
is
now
they
have
a
book
festival
which,
unfortunately,
you
know
we
you
know
we
haven't
had
that
up
until
very
recently
and
it
kind
of
got
sidetracked
a
little
bit
by
the
pandemic,
but
you
know
brooklyn
and
philadelphia
and
new
york,
city
and
washington
dc.
They
have
these
ginormous
book
festivals
every
year
and-
and
I
think,
as
a
part
of
our
thinking
about
how
do
we
elevate
literary
arts
and
how
do
we
elevate
and
lift
up
literary
artists?
G
Like
poets
to
implement
this
program-
and
some
of
you
may
be
aware,
but
the
state
of
minnesota
has
a
poet
laureate,
as
does
the
city
of
saint
paul
and
the
city
of
duluth,
and
I
think
st
louis
park
even
has
a
poet
laureate,
so
we
got
to
get
on
the
ball.
We
got
to
get
on
the
stick
and
make
this
happen.
As
councilmember
fletcher
said.
M
I
I
do
think
that
kind
of
work
group
is
the
right
next
step
and
that
might
be
the
chance
for
us
to
to
bring
the
arts,
commission
and
and
some
of
the
literary
institutions
together.
You
know
in
a
way
that
can
get
get
us
moving
on
on
ideas
and
structure
and
really
what
is
you
know?
What
is
this
going
to
be.
E
Hi
my
I
actually
have
a
few
friends
who
are
very
young
poets,
who
you
know,
talk
a
lot
about
trying
to
get
into
the
literary
art
scene,
especially
here
in
minnesota,
but
also
nationally
and
internationally,
and
one
of
the
hardest
things
that
they
consistently
bring
up.
Is
the
requirements
to
pay
to
enter
competitions,
to
submit
poets,
to
periodicals
or
literary
magazines,
or
when
entering
the
shows
or
to
even
do
an
open
mic
night.
E
A
lot
of
places
will
make
you
pay
sometimes
hundreds
of
dollars
to
do
these
performances
or
to
enter
for
a
chance
to
be
in
a
periodical
and
maybe
not
even
get
it
so.
Hopefully
I
I
hope
this
program
can
happen
and
that,
hopefully,
that
it
it
allows
for
free
arts
for
a
chance
for
poets
to
gain
exposure.
G
Yeah,
I
would
I
would
concur,
and
I
would
also
offer-
and
I
know
the
literary
like
submitting
to
literary
magazines.
Yes,
you
do
need
to
pay
a
fee,
but
I
mean
if
people
are
asking
you
to
pay
to
perform,
you
probably
need
to
go
in
the
opposite
direction.
I
mean
I
I
get
paid
to
perform,
I'm
not
gonna
pay
somebody
to
let
me
come
and
entertain
them
so
yeah,
that's
yeah.
G
We
need
to
be
setting
up
some
informational
learning
like
the
work
that
tamiko
is
doing
to
make
sure
that
people
understand
what
a
working
artist's
life
is
like
you
know,
but
but
great
thoughts,
mary
and
I
and
I
I
hear
you
yeah,
it
would
have
to
be
free.
We
can't
be
charging
young
people
to
to
be
in
involved
with
our
work
on
this
process.
K
K
He
was
he
was
at
our
last
commission
meeting
and
but
he
has
expressed
his
organization
himself
being
very
interested
in
wherever
they
can
fit
in
whether
it's
his
work
group,
whether
it's
using
his
space,
whether
it's
you
know
selection,
you
know
or
the
launch
of
it,
they
are
very
interested
in
being
part
of
the
process.
So
you
know,
however,
you
know
whether,
like
I
said
whether
it's
this
work
group
or
whatever
way
they
can
participate
black
table.
K
K
G
G
H
Pronouncing
that,
thank
you.
I
just
wondered
if
you
all
have
done
any
research
yet
about
how
those
other
cities
set
up
the
program
and
what
did
it
cost
you
know
who
are
they?
Are
they
under
city
government?
Are
they
independent
just
what
you've
learned
already
or
is
that
something
that
you're
ready
to
embark
on
as
well.
G
M
G
We
could
all
be
poets
and
we
all
are
poets,
and
you
know
she
read
some
of
her
poems
and,
and
that
always
stuck
with
me
and
then
actually,
when
I
was
14,
I
met
her
publisher,
a
brother
who
started
a
publishing
company
called
third
world
press.
His
name
is
haki
mata,
bhuti
and
just
fell
in
love
with
poetry.
G
From
that
point
on
so
poet
laureate
literally
changed
my
life
like,
and
I
think
that
is
kind
of
the
the
the
work
that
we
want
to
see
this
program
present,
and
you
know,
I
think,
there's
multiple
models.
As
councilmember
fletcher
said,
you
know,
a
poet
laureate
can
be
a
sort
of
like
a
governor
that
sort
of
make
sure
that
literary
events
are
happening
or
or
just
a
promoter
of
poetry,
and
you
know,
I
think
we
need
more
poetry
in
our
in
our
civic
life.
G
So
I
I'm
not
sure
how
the
body
functions
if,
if
there
is
like
a
a
way
to
to
select
sort
of
like
a
subgroup
or
an
committee
to
participate,
I
I
I'm
certain
that
myself
and
councilwoman
fletcher
would
be
willing
to
convene-
and
you
know,
host
meetings
and
it
might
be
a
great
space
at
the
law.
Literaries.
Are
they
meeting
in
person
again.
G
G
D
I
B
I
think
that's
one
in
road
mary,
thank
you.
I
was
going
to
also
suggest
commissioners
could
email
myself
or
joan
or
chair.
If
they
have
interest
it
sounds
to
me
like
it.
It
might
be
a
combination
of
our
subcommittees.
You
know
it
doesn't
fall
under
policy
call
under
access
and
engagement.
I
feel
it's
separate
it's
interest
based,
so
I
would
encourage
commissioners
to
reach
out
with
interest
and
we
can
take
it
off
that
exact
council
members.
What
is
the
timeline
that
you
were
thinking
about
for
a
work
group?
When
would
we
get
started?
G
G
B
I
think
that's
great,
since
we
have
you
here
today.
If
you
have
time
that
you
could
allow
us
to
talk
more
about
an
arts
work
group.
Everybody
who's
on
the
commission
call
today
feel
free
to
email
me.
If
you
have
interest,
and
then
at
least
I'll
have
names
to
bring
more
room
to
exec.
I
think
that
would
be
helpful.
Just
have
a
general
temperature
of
commissioners
who
may
be
interested,
so
we
know
what
we're
working
with
and
we'll
get
it
on
the
agenda
for
our
next
executive
meeting.
G
And
then
maybe
the
week
after
that,
right
now
I'm
trying
to
figure
something
out
and
to
be
real
clear.
I
mean
this
is
getting
into
really
busy
time
for
the
council,
but
I
know
that
I
am
deeply
passionate
and
I-
and
I
am
absolutely
positive-
that
councilman
fletcher
is
too
and
willing
to
make
the
time
to
to
make
this
work.
So.
M
And
I
would
say
I
I
I
think
if
we
can
get
to
a
place
with
a
couple
of
meetings
between
now
and
say,
mid-october,
where
we
can
get
enough
of
a
structure
to
know
who
would
coordinate
it.
You
know
just
a
little
bit
about
if
we
were
to
put
money
to
it,
who
who
would
receive
the
money
and
what
would
happen
with
it
enough
that
we
can
justify
putting
it
in
the
budget
for
2022
that
you
know
that
that
happens
on
a
yearly
cycle.
Where
it
can.
M
G
M
I
Jenkins,
I
know,
as
one
of
the
authors
of
the
resolution
you're
aware
of
how
much
behind
the
scenes
work
that
the
arts
commission
did
to
advocate
for
the
passing
of
the
ordinance,
but
I'm
just
wondering
gogoon
wasn't
able
to
come
tonight
to
thank
them,
and
I'm
I'm
just
wondering
if
you
would
pass
on
your
gratitude
for
all
of
their
work
on
the
ordinance.
They
threw
together
some
letters
and
and
campaigned
publicly
for
it
in
a
pretty
short
timeline.
So.
G
I
know
the
arts
commission
has
been
going
through
some
challenges
over
the
last
couple
of
years,
particularly
last
year
with
you
know
the
unrest
and
the
move
to
virtual
meetings,
et
cetera,
et
cetera,
but
staying
engaged,
staying
involved
and
really
pushing
us
to
be
better
and
to
to
give
the
arts
the
respect
that
it
deserves.
Is
I
mean
I?
I
can't
thank
you
enough.
So
thank.
D
G
All
I
do
think
we're
gonna
get
to
a
good
place
in
this
process.
We're
still
moving
forward.
Councilmember
fletcher
is
helping
us
to
make
this
much
better
and
stronger
and
try
to
figure
out
where
the
actual
resources
are
gonna
come
from
and
and
yeah
it's
gonna
be
great.
So
thank
you
all
appreciate
it.
H
B
G
B
Very
much
appreciate
your
time
and
energy
coming
tonight
to
join
us
too.
That's!
I
know
it
may
be
back
to
back
for
you
on
most
days
but
sincerely
appreciate
the
time
just
to
join
us
this
evening,
but
poet
laurie.
It's
really
exciting
work
to
me
personally
too.
So
I'm
I'm
looking
forward
to
the
the
work
group.
I
did
have
one
more
quick
question
about
it.
Who
else
besides
mac
have
you
tapped?
M
So
I
want
to
circle
back
with
loft
because
I
actually
talked
to
them
before
their
leadership
change.
So
I
know
they've
got
a
new
executive
director
and
I
want
to
I'll
I'll
put
it
on
my
plate
to
check
back
in
and
see
where
they're
at.
I
think
I
think
it
would
be
good
to
have
them
at
the
table
and
then
probably
that
first
conversation
at
least
part
of
the
conversation
will
be.
Who
else
needs
to
be
here?
Okay,
you
know.
G
I
have
been
in
conversation
with
soon
young
chin,
who
is
a
poet
and
has,
and
she
she
teaches
at
the
purpose
center
and
a
couple
of
other
places,
but
she
is
eager
and
and
very
much
wanting
to
be
involved
and
she
has
deep
connections
with
the
minnesota
historical
press
which
they
would
likely
would
want
to
be
a
part
of
something
as
well
so,
but
we're
still
at
the
very,
very
early
beginning
stages.
So
if
you.
F
B
Great,
thank
you
so
much
again,
it's
something
to
ponder
and
something
that
I
hope
the
arts
work
group
can
help
facilitate.
That
would
be
exciting.
Next
work
for
us
so
and
just
for
taking
the
time
here
to
include
the
commission
was
very
meaningful.
You
know
we
have
had
a
very
long
uphill
year
as
as
every
arts
organization
across
our
city
has,
but
I
I
appreciate
your
time
very
much.
L
L
On
getting
young
people
involved,
particularly
and
one
of
the
winners
of
their
poetry
contest,
was
one
of
my
students
from
legacy
arts
group.
So
I
really
would
love
to
share
share
my
resources
in
regard
to
those
folks
that
worked
on
that,
especially
the
minnesota
black
theater
circle,
particularly
that
garnered
all
of
that
information
from
the
students
across
the
district
and
working
with
the
district,
particularly
on
the
arts
program.
The
arts
director
there
so
all
right
when
the
youth
piece
of
that
is
put
together.
I
H
L
G
G
B
It's
exciting
guys.
This
is
really
fun
work
to
be
a
part
of
I
I
I'm
following
through
on
on
our
business
stature,
but
I
just
want
to
convey
that
I'm
very
enthusiastic
about
being
included
in
an
early
conversation
for
this
and
mary.
I
want
to
convey
my
appreciation
for
you,
too,
in
seeking
appreciation,
for
us
that
was
very
meaningful.
Just
to
you
know,
have
some
words
and
touch
facing
after
that
ordinance.
I
B
So
much
so
much
no
worries
yeah,
and
I
understand
that
there'll
be
a
lot
more
information
to
come
when
the
budgeting
components
of
the
ordinance
process
moves
forward.
So
we'll
get
another
update
next
month
too.
I
guess
with
that.
We
have
moved
on
to
our
discussion,
number
nine
update
on
the
ordinance
process
and
results
so
hooray.
It
passed
very,
very
big
kudos
on
that,
I'm
going
to
move
swiftly
along
just
so
that
we
have
a
couple
minutes
left
here
and
we
can
end
on
time.
Number
10
is
our
work
plan
updates.
B
I
know
this.
This
work
on
the
ordinance
was
a
bulk
of
policies
work
date.
So
I
think
that
pretty
much
concludes
that
update
other
than
that
we
are
going
to
be
meeting
again
later
in
the
month,
and
mary
has
generously
offered
some
of
her
time
too,
to
consult
with
us
to
move
forward
some
just
documentation
on
policies
for
our
group
in
terms
of
how
to
move
items
from
discussion
from
consent
to
discussion.
So
we're
going
to
be
doing
some
policy
behind
the
scenes.
B
Aspects
on
that
that
we'll
have
future
updates
for
you
on
for
executive
committee.
We
do
still
have
current
open
seats.
I
know
jack
just
filled
our
seat,
15,
so
hooray
and
welcome
again.
We
still
have
openings.
We
still
have
a
member
at
large
opening
and
a
vice
chair
position
available.
So
with
that
said,
throw
your
hat
in
the
ring.
B
If
you
have
interest
and
extra
time,
there's
also
another
ask
on
the
table,
I
know
for
the
poet
laureate
work
group
ask
so
be
mindful
of
your
time,
but
I
I
really
want
to
hear
from
everyone
who
has
desire
to
be
more
of
an
instrumental
role
here.
I
think
it's
really
fun
to
see
everyone
move
up
and
we're
welcoming
a
lot
of
new
commissioners.
Hopefully
some
more
tina
is
there
a
timeline
that
we
can
no
longer
repost
the
open
positions
for
the
arts.
Commission
when's
their
cap.
A
A
K
I'll
kick
that
off
I'll
say
that
you
know:
we've
been
working
on
two
areas,
primarily
new
commissioners
and
engagement
and
in
terms
of
commissioners,
first
welcome
jack.
So
you
know
it's
great
to
have
you
on
board
and
crystal
has
been
working
with
two
groups
to
try
to
get
continue
to
get
commissioners
plus
the
ongoing
of
inviting
people
different
groups.
You
know
and
we're
talking
to
those
groups.
You
know
so
I
know
we'll
be
hitting
up
legacy
here.
K
I'm
pretty
sure
to
see
if
there's
any
potential
of
their
group
to
be
part
of
a
commissioner
so
but
crystal's
been
working
with
board
repair
and
nexus
community
partners
and
nexus
community
partners
is
actively
now
starting
to
you
know,
help
us
with
new
commissioners.
We
still
she
still
has
yet
to
hear
from
board
repair,
but
that
work
is
still
going
on.
So
that's
primarily
what
we're
doing
on
the
new
commissioners
on
the
engagement.
K
You
know
just
shout
out
to
mandy
for
this
terrific
speaker
today
I
mean
we
was
just
tamiko
was
just
you
know.
That
was
fantastic,
so
I
hope
that
you
guys
are
are
liking
the
the
setup
we
had
christopher
aaron's.
You
know
and
rojo
last
month
and
we'll
continue
this
you
know
engagement
and
so
what
we
have
kind
of
slated.
K
So,
given
the
information
that
tina
gave
us
earlier
in
the
meeting
we
we
had
planned
on
doing
a
guest
speaker
and
then
going
to
a
place
the
next
month,
but
we're
gonna
have
to
kind
of
twist
that
and
probably
that
will
that
can't
happen
until
probably
like
november
or
so.
So.
This
is
the
kind
of
lineup
that
we
have
so
far.
Next
month,
black
table
arts
will
be
we'll
be
speaking.
K
K
I
did
want
to
say
that
lisa
commissioner
lisa
magnet
did
tell
us
about
an
invent,
and
you
know
as
as
commissioners,
if
we
can
get
out
to
it
august
17th
wisdom
young
will
be
performing
at
pv,
plaza,
that's
12th
and
nicolette,
so
she
wanted
to
make
sure
at
least
I
wanted
to
make
sure
we
knew
about
that,
and-
and
we
can
get
information
formally
out
to
folks.
But
that's
the
last
thing
I
wanted
to
mention
at
least
miss
anything
mandy,
okay,
good.
I
Yeah,
I
I
do
want
to
say
I
am
working
on
planning
the
event
for
the
dedication
of
the
art
for
the
building
and
which
is
going
to
be
a
10-story
party,
and
so
I
would
really
like
to
involve
the
engagement
community
or
anyone
else
and
thinking
about
that
event.
We're
planning
we're
also
planning
with
16
artists,
which
is
kind
of
an
interesting
process,
but
I
would
really
like
the
commission
to
have
a
an
important
presence
at
that
event.
I
C
F
K
F
I
K
K
I
Is
in
the
process
is
for
you
all
to
nominate
folks.
So
if
you
have
an
artist
that
you
think
might
be
interested
the
problem
with
the
artist
position
is,
is
you
can't
really
be
working
on
public
art
projects
for
the
city
and
b?
So
we
we
tend
to
have
artists
that
are
really
creative
folks,
but
aren't
necessarily
trying
to
build
a
living
getting
commissions
from
the
city.
