A
And
we're
okay
great,
seeing
the
thumbs
up
so
good
evening.
Everyone,
thank
you
all
for
joining
tonight
for
the
homegrown
minneapolis
food
council
meeting.
I'd
like
to
start
by
noting
that
this
meeting
includes
the
remote
participation
of
members
as
authorized
under
minnesota
statute,
section
13d
0.021
due
to
the
declared
local
health
pandemic.
A
We're
also
pleased
to
be
welcoming
community
members
tonight
at
tonight's
virtual
meeting.
Some
may
be
calling
in,
but
community
members
can
also
now
join
us
using
microsoft
teams
so
because
the
size
of
our
group,
please
keep
yourself
muted
at
all
times
that
you're,
not
speaking,
and
to
keep
the
meeting
moving
along
and
on
schedule.
Please
wait.
You
know
your
turn
to
speak
and
hold
questions
until
the
end
of
any
speaker's
presentation.
A
So
I
will
now
call
this
meeting
to
order
and
ask
tamara
to
call
the
role
so
that
we
may
verify
the
presence
of
a
quorum
council
members
when
tamra
calls
your
name,
please
say
present
and
then
introduce
yourself
briefly
with
your
organization
or
affiliation.
If
you
have
one
that
you'd
like
to
share-
and
I
thought
for
tonight's
meeting
we'll
also
as
a
bit
of
a
warm
welcome
just
share
what
color
best
represents
your
mood
today,.

Hi

kim
havey,
director
of
sustainability
with
the
city
of
minneapolis,

I'm
going
to
go
for
pink,
but
I
want
to
really
go
for
rainbow
wishing
everyone
a
happy
pride
today.
This
is
sort
of
the
minneapolis
pride
was
moved
now
this
weekend,
so
they're
going
to
be
doing
an
event
doing
the
park.
Events
with
vendors,
no
parade,
but
still
a
pride
weekend
in
minneapolis
coming
up
so
happy
rainbow
colors.

Present

a
farmer
and
also

master's
student
in
land
and
atmospheric
sciences,
so
soil
science
student
at
the?
U
and
my
color
is
whatever
a
color
would
be
for
frustration
because
I've
been
trying
to
reconcile
some
expenses
with
the
you
for
about
three
hours
now
and
I'm
really
frustrated
yeah.
H
D
A
Present
hi
everyone
katie
bold.
I
work
for
minneapolis
public
schools
and
serve
as
the
farm-to-school
coordinator
for
the
district
and
am
co-chair
of
homegrown,
and
my
color
today
is
I'm
gonna
go
with
a
dark
purple
which
matches
the
radishes
that
I've
been
eating
today
for
my
csa
and
they're.
So
good
and
spicy
and
they've
been
extra
good
dipped
in
peanut
butter.
So
if
you've
never
tried
radishes
dipped
in
peanut
butter,
I'm
just
going
to
say
I
highly
recommend
it.
I
know
it
might
seem
odd,
but
that's
what.
B
G
T
Hi
everyone,
my
name,
is
micah
and
I'm
the
hydroponic
specialist
at
pillsbury
united
communities,
along
with
sega
and
I'll,
be
talking
today
a
little
bit
about
the
hydroponic
farm.
So
thank
you
for
having
me
and
my
color
of
the
day
is
basil,
green,
because
I've
been
working
with
a
lot
of
basil
today,.
A
V
W
D
X
A
Here:
okay,
unless
there's
anyone
else
that
chimes
in,
we
will
move
on.
So
thank
you.
Everyone
for
joining
us
tonight,
council,
members,
city
staff,
community
members.
We
will
now
proceed
on
to
our
agenda,
a
copy
of
which
was
posted
for
public
access
to
the
city's
legislative
information
management
system,
which
is
available
at
limbs.minneapolismn.gov.
A
Our
first
two
items
of
business
is
the
are
the
is
the
adoption
of
our
agenda
for
tonight's
meeting,
as
well
as
the
acceptance
of
minutes
from
our
last
meeting
on
june
9th.
So
this
is
still
somewhat
new,
but
we
have
learned
that
we
can
combine
these
two
agenda
items
together
if
we
receive
a
proper
emotion.
So
is
there
a
motion
from
a
council
member
to
approve
tonight's
agenda
and
accept
the
june
9th
minutes?
Y
A
A
Y
M
D
D
M
N
J
C
Q
H
D
B
A
B
B
That
letter
would
indicate
these
to
be
our
recommendations
and
our
interest
in
a
discussion,
if
useful,
in
a
meeting
format.
Small
meeting
with
with
the
representative
of
that
plan,
to
to
further
elaborate
on
what
we
are
recommending,
if,
if
they
would
want
to
entertain
and
find
that
useful,
but
that
would
be
our
next
steps
here
that
we
would
pass
these
along,
if
approved
by
the
group.
If
we
don't
approve
them
tonight,
we
don't
have
any
more
meetings
before
their
deadline.
B
So
this
is
really
our
chance
to
approve
comments
or
not
with
the
work.
That's
been
done
in
in-depth
review
of
that
draft
perks
plan.
The
comments
that
were
given
resulted
in
a
a
small
few
additional
of
specific
comments
in
the
table,
as
well
as
a
couple
edits
to
the
more
broad
reaching
recommendations
at
the
top.
B
So
it
might
be
good
as
a
group
to
walk
through
the
three
recommendations
at
the
top,
and
then
we
can
look
at
the
the
hole
and
see
if
there's
anything
that
jumps
out
at
anybody
who
had
made
a
recommendation
and
sees
it
or
doesn't
see
it
in
the
I'm.
Sorry,
I'm
trying
to
talk
and
pull
up
my
document
at
the
same
time.
So
I'm
going
to
just
look
at
the
document
and
maybe,
if
somebody,
let's
see
here
hold
on
one
second,
I
think
I'm
nearly
there
so
we'll
just
here
we
go
all
right.
B
So
these
are
the
draft
recommendations,
if
approved
as
amended,
number
one
increased
programming,
spaces
and
funding
to
support
healthy
food
access
and
nutrition,
security,
community
gardening,
food
entrepreneurship
and
food
skill.
Building
with
a
further
comment,
this
is
well
reflected
in
the
draft
plan,
but
could
be
more
explicit
and
expanded
in
multiple
places,
including
understanding
and
responding
to
unmet
needs
and
specifically,
tracking
geographic
demand
and
working
closely
with
the
city
to
support
long-term
land
tenure
for
community
food
gardeners,
particularly
in
gap
areas.
B
Again,
this
was
amended
to
elevate
the
you
know
the
active
nature
of
the
aspiration
for
supporting
bipod
communities
in
the
ways
that
are
elaborated
on
in
the
comments,
and
the
final
recommendation
here
is
to
partner
with
homegrown
minneapolis
food
council
and
related
community
organizations
to
advance
this
plan
and
track
progress.
We're
interested
in
annual
reporting
of
key
indicators
as
you
implement
the
plan
and
see
potential
alignment
with
our
in
development
food
action
plan
in
our
garden
lease
program.
B
So
those
are
the
the
primary
recommendations
and
below
are
the
multiple,
precise
comments
and
additional
comments
that
were
added.
So
at
this
point
we
can
open
it
up
for
any
points
of
clarification
about
those
additions
that
have
been
made
in
those
recommendations
or
below
and
or
any
anything
that
may
still
be
missing
or
needing
to
be.
S
First
and
foremost,
we
would
like
to
provide
a
stipend
to
community
members
to
coordinate
each
garden.
We
feel
that,
like
community
members,
probably
have
the
best
feel
in
terms
of
what
their
garden
needs
and
to
have
like
a
primarily
bipod
team
of
community
members
to
be
able
to
do.
That
is
something
that
we're
focused
on.
So
that's
number
one
and
then
number
two.
S
You
know
I
have
a
garden
on
the
side,
because
it's
fun
or
because
cool,
but
it's
like
it,
it
really
supplements
diets.
It
really
like
is
unnecessary
source
of
food
for
a
lot
of
people,
so
I
just
want
to
make
that
explicit
within
the
plan.
So
those
are
the
three
things
that
we
sort
of
want
to
focus
on.
After
reviewing
this
document.
B
Thank
you.
Can
you
clarify
and
and
confirm
if
in
in
referencing,
the
statements
for
coordinating
garden
work?
Are
you
suggesting
that,
in
relation
to
the
park
boards
garden
program
or
the
city's
garden
lace
program,
just,
I
think,
making
sure
we're
clear
on
kind
of
how
that
that
recommendation
was
kind
of
formulated
just
so
we're
clear
there
yeah.
B
I
think
what
if
you
could
explain
a
little
bit
more,
how
that
would
look
in
relation
to
the
way
the
the
community
garden
program
operates
at
the
park
board
and
maybe
becca,
I
maybe
it's
clear
to
you
and
I'm
just
not
fully
sure
of
of
how
that
would
look
so
yeah.
Maybe
becca.
Can
you
just
jump
in
quickly
and
and
if
there
is
kind
of
a
way
that
this
would
work
in
in
your
perspective
or
or
further
articulation
of
of
how
that
works.
E
S
R
This
is
sega,
I
think
if
I'm
hearing
you
correctly,
that
that's
something
that
could
fit
in
or
align
with
number
two
here
in
these
recommendations.
Just
thinking
about
how
you
resource
actually
investing
in
greater
equity.
You
know
people
have
to
be
compensated
for
the
labor
and
the
time.
So
I
I
think
that
might
be
a
manageable
like
revision,
even
adding
to
the
list
of
including
emergency
preparedness
planning.
B
B
Okay,
we
will
work
on
the
wording
of
that
as
an
official
addition
to
the
recommendations.
Are
there
other
editions
from
the
comments
and
thank
you
so
much
for
those
comments
from
plant
grocer.
I
want
to
make
sure
that
I
think
process
wise.
We
can
be
clear
that
what
we
would
be
doing
is
probably
having
a
food
council
member
suggest
any
additions
related
to
the
suggestions
being
made.
This
would
be
something
we
would
include
in
our
minutes,
but
then
for
it
to
make
it
into
the
document.
B
F
I
I
don't
I
just
wanted
to
ask
you
know
question
whether
you
think
the
idea
of
you
know
talking
about
soil,
health
and
expansion
of
the
tree.
Canopy
is
a
way
to
counteract
you,
know,
climate
change
and
impacts
the
climate
change
like
you
know
her
urban
heat
island
effect
etc
would
be
part
of
maybe
goal
six.
It
isn't
really
mentioned
in
this,
and
I
know
like
with
our
stuff
we're
not
really
it's
not
necessarily
food,
but
it's
it
has
a
well.
F
You
know
it
has
a
connection,
of
course,
with
the
life
of
our
soils
and
our
plants,
and
then
you
know
so
I
don't
know
if
that's
something
we'd
make
recommendations
on,
but
I'd
like
to
see,
support
for-
and
I
know
they're
doing
a
lot
of
talking
about
this-
but
expansion
of
tree
canopy,
expansion
of
like
doing
remediation
with
soils
with
biochar
and
things
like
that
that
helps
plant
growth
and
also
with
storm
water
retention,
a
bunch
of
other
stuff.
So
do
you
think
that's
part
of
recommendations
that
would
come
from
the
food
council.
A
F
F
B
F
Well,
I
think
it
would
be
awesome
playing
a
bit
of
an
advocate
here
for
that,
but
including
you
know,
focusing
on
areas
that
have
been
the
city
is
designated
as
as
green
zones,
which
are
our
environmental
justice.
You
know
zones
so
to
speak,
so
yeah
I
would
love
to
have
the
green
zones
mentioned
up
there,
but
that's
a
separate
from
my
original
recommendation,
which
is
about
the
soil,
soil,
health
and
tree
canopy
expansion
which
I'd
like
to
keep
in
goal.
Six.
B
B
B
A
I
hope
I
get
this
right.
I
understand
it
would
be
a
motion
to
approve
these
recommendations
and
that
or
this
document,
including
all
the
right
recommendations,
with
the
two
editions
that
we've
discussed
and
that
then
co-chairs
sega
and
I
would
provide
send
a
letter
tomorrow
with
these
recommendations
in
them
to
the
minneapolis
parks
and
recreation
board.
B
F
B
Yes,
I
think
the
way
we
were
going
to
do
it
was
the
recommendations
would
stay
intact
and
the
letter
would
have
whatever
friendly
language
would
feel
appropriate
for
an
introduction
to
the
recommendations.
But
the
substance
of
the
recommendations
is
what
the
food
council
would
be
approving
and
then
the
letter
would
just
be
a
vessel
to
deliver
those
recommendations.
B
Okay-
and
I
will
clarify
that-
I
will
make
sure
we
get
the
language
correct
with
kim
and
sega
on
these
these
edits
here
trying
to
do
too
many
things
at
once
with
the
computer,
and
I
will
take
the
role
and
part
of
this
approval
is
subsequently
also
working
with
those
who
propose
those
edits
to
get
the
language
precise.
But
here
we
go
so
please
indicate
yay
or
nay
in
approval
or
not
of
the
emotions,
starting
with
swatteropd.
Q
D
K
D
P
C
B
A
R
T
Thanks
sega
hi
everyone.
Can
you
hear
me
excellent?
So
thank
you
for
the
introduction.
My
name
is
mike
and
I'm
the
hydroponic
specialist
at
puc,
I'm
kind
of
stepping
back
a
little
bit.
Pc
has
been
around
for
a
really
long
time.
They
have
they're
working
to
co-create
spaces
and
health
in
a
bunch
of
different
aspects
of
community
life.
Specifically,
I
work
in
the
urban
ag
branch
which
we
say
is
working
at
the
intersection
of
emergence
and
emergency
food.
T
So
for
the
education
aspect,
we
own
a
hydroponic
farm
and
we
are
really
trying
to
do
something
fun.
We
are
piloting
a
hands-on
curriculum
to
try
to
get
kids
in
north
side
into
a
farm
to
get
hydroponic
farm
management
skills.
We
teach
business
entrepreneurship,
how
to
launch
a
food
brand.
We
also
touch
on
plant
science
and
everyone's
favorite
food
safety,
the
other
part
of
my
work.
T
We
are
operating
a
commercial
operation,
meaning
we
have
partnered
with
twin
cities,
co-ops
and
grocers,
and
we
sell
packaged
leafy
greens
such
as
basil
and
lettuce
and
then
finally,
the
evaluation
side
of
the
work.
I
was
kind
of
brought
in
a
little
over
a
year
ago
to
kind
of
add
some
clarification
to
operating
costs.
Labor
costs
like
what
do
we
actually
need
to
do
to
fulfill
our
mission
of
giving
hydroponic
skills
to
young
people
in
minneapolis
and
really
what
energizes
me
and
my
work
is?
T
T
O
C
C
T
Everyone,
my
name
is
micah,
my
pronouns.
Are
they
them
and
he
him,
and
I
am
shooting
this
video
today
from
minneapolis
minnesota.
I
am
very
excited
for
the
opportunity
to
talk
to
you
today
about
a
form
of
agriculture
called
hydroponics,
so
this
shipping
container
looks
very
similar
to
what
you
might
see
on
an
amazon
prime
truck.
It's
refrigerated.
T
It
is
climate
controlled
and
inside
you
will
find
grow
lights,
hvac
airflow
co2,
you
name
it
we'll
go
inside
in
a
little
bit,
but
I
just
wanted
to
give
you
context,
because
it
does
look
very
different
from
what
you
might
expect.
We
just
got
this
awesome
billboard
put
up
a
few
days
ago,
and
I
think
it
explains
the
process
pretty
well
just
to
kind
of
give
you
an
overview
things
from
this
container.
T
We
harvest
from
these
vertical
towers
that
you
see
here,
that's
a
bunch
of
lettuce
growing
in
in
the
vertical
towers,
inside
kind
of
like
a
cutaway.
We
start
everything
from
seed.
We
use
these
coco
choir
grow
plugs
up
here
and
then
we
blast
the
little
baby
seedlings
with
led
red
and
blue
light.
So
when
you
look
at
it,
the
lights,
look
kind
of
pink
and
then
from
there
they
get
transplanted
into
a
nursery
where
they
get
regular
water.
They
get
transplanted
into
the
vertical
towers
and
then
they
get
harvested.
T
And
then
all
the
food
from
inside
this
box
goes
directly
into
north
market,
which
is
over
here,
hey
guys,
welcome
to
the
inside
of
the
farm
behind
me,
we
have
two
sets
of
towers
you're.
Looking
at
the
left
side,
which
is
growing,
some
lettuce
closest
to
us
and
then
down
the
line.
We
have
some
basil
and
some
thai
basil
growing
and
on
the
right
side.
Here
we
have
different
herbs.
We
have
lemon
balm,
that's
closest
to
us,
we're
also
growing
sage
thyme
and
experimenting
with
romaine
lettuce.
T
T
So
hydroponics
is
a
form
of
agriculture
that
uses
nutrient-enriched
water
to
grow
food.
To
grow
plants,
if
any
of
you
have
planted
a
seed
before
or
growed
food
with
family
or
friends,
you
know
that
what
a
plant
needs
to
grow
is
sun,
water,
soil
and
also
carbon
dioxide.
But
in
this
system
we
eliminate
the
need
for
soil
completely,
and
we
do
that
because
we
supplement
the
water
with
the
nutrients
that
a
plant
needs
to
grow
to
my
right
side.
Here
I
have
two
tubs.
T
I
have
a
tub
of
a
nutrients,
so
this
is
liquid
nutrients
a
macronutrient
and
then
we
also
have
a
tub
of
b.
These
are
the
micronutrients,
so
macronutrients
we're
primarily
talking
about
nitrogen
phosphorus
and
potassium
the
magic
3
npk,
and
then
we
are
talking
about
micronutrients,
some
stuff
like
zinc,
copper
and
iron,
and
then
to
my
right
side
here,
you'll
see
some
of
the
dosing
boxes
that
we
pour
these
nutrients
directly
into.
We
have
a
computer
system
that
this
farm
runs
on.
T
T
So
the
first
step
to
growing
food
in
this
system
involves
a
seeding
cell
tray.
These
are
used
in
outdoor
farms
too,
and
instead
of
soil,
we
use
these
grow
plugs.
I
don't
know
if
you
can
see
that
little
hole
right
there,
but
we
see
directly
into
these
and
this
feels
kind
of
spongy
sponge-like.
It's
actually
made
of
coconut
husk
and
peat
moss-
and
we
use
this
instead
of
soil,
because
when
it
when
water
is
dripping
in
the
system
and
the
plants
are
getting
watered,
this
maintains
its
shape
really
well.
T
This
I've,
seeded
thai
basil
and
basil,
into
this
tray
here
and
from
there
after
all
of
the
seeds,
have
been
planted
in
each
of
these
200
plugs.
They
get
a
humidity
dome,
which
is
this
plastic
dome?
Over
top,
we
place
it
on
here
we
put
little
labels
on
the
trays,
so
we
know
what
seedlings
are
popping
up
and
then
they
get
placed
in
the
germination
station,
which
is
on
the
very
underside
of
this
table,
all
right
guys.
So
we
have
seeded
our
tray.
We
have
soaked
it
in
water.
T
T
This
whole
level
is
filled
with
seedlings
at
different
age
ranges.
So
I
think
that
it's
probably
easiest
to
compare
the
same
variety,
the
same
crop
next
to
one
another.
So
this
is
a
tray,
that's
one
week
old!
This
is
the
tray
of
sage.
That
is
two
weeks
old,
and
this
is
a
tray
of
sage
that
is
three
weeks
old.
So
looking
back,
you
can
definitely
tell
the
difference
that
one
week
two
week
and
three
week
make
on
size
of
the
seedlings
and
foliage
development.
T
T
T
T
And
then,
if
you
look
on
this
side,
we
have
arugula
growing
here
thai
basil
and
then
a
little
bit
further
down.
We
have
genovese
base
if
all
the
towers
are
used.
This
would
be
equivalent
to
about
two
to
three
acres
of
outdoor
grow
space,
which
is
about
two
to
three
football
fields
and
zone
to
end
zone
for
a
visual.
T
The
nice
thing
about
this
container,
though,
is
that,
even
though
we
are
growing
about
two
three
acres
worth
of
food,
it
all
runs
on
about
five
to
ten
gallons
of
water
per
day,
which
is
extremely
efficient.
I'm
gonna
take
you
towards
the
back
main
tank
and
kind
of
show
you
how
irrigation
is
pumped
throughout
the
farms.
So
this
is
the
giant
140
gallon
main
tank.
T
We
get
our
water
directly
from
the
city
inside
you'll
see
some
of
these
air
stones.
That's
the
bubbling
and
the
air
stones
are
there
to
oxygenate
the
water
to
give
the
plants
oxygen
at
the
roots
over
here.
That's
just
the
main
sump
and
then
in
there
is
the
main
pump,
which
is
the
main
artery
of
water
to
the
farm.
So
you
see
this
big
white
tube.
T
This
is
how
the
farm
gets
water,
so
water
is
pumped
up
from
that
bottom
of
main
tank
through
this
through
this
network
of
pvc
pipes,
where
it's
teed
off
right
there
and
then
there's
a
red
handle
over
here.
That's
one
pvc
line
that
runs
over
the
furthest
side
of
the
farm.
Then
there's
this
pvc
tube
and
then
on
this
side.
It
gets
teed
off
over
here,
too
down
all
over
top
of
the
plants.
And
then
this
is
the
final
curtain.
T
Pvc,
so
water
is
distributed
over
top
of
all
256
towers
in
the
farm,
so
there
you
have
it
guys.
That
is
the
seed
to
harvest.
The
beauty
of
this
farm
is
that
it
can
run
365
days
a
year
because
it
is
climate
controlled.
I
have
all
of
the
fans
turned
off
right
now,
so
you
can't
really
hear
much,
except
for
some
of
the
air
stones
in
the
back
of
the
main
tank.
R
T
Yeah
sure
so,
thank
you
all
for
sitting
through
that
and
I
hope
you
take
some
time
to
just
watch
a
little
bit
of
the
end.
I
had
the
privilege
of
giving
a
few
of
you
a
tour,
but
I
hope
one
day
we
can
all
get
you
out
there
to
the
farms
what
we're
doing,
but
I
am
open
to
any
questions
that
anyone
might
have
about
hydroponics
or
about
moving
in
there
or
about
cea
control
environment
ag.
Whatever
comes
to
mind,.
U
C
T
T
But
that's
something
that
is
really
exciting
about
my
position,
because
before
I
was
kind
of
working
in
the
commercial
space
as
like
a
little
hand,
I
didn't
really
have
any
access
to
finances
or
you
know
how
much
free
spending
on
co2
or
light
per
month,
and
now
I'm
in
a
position
to
have
that
clarification
for
myself,
so
that
I
can
share
it
with
our
leaders
to
see
if
it
makes
sense
to
scale
or
at
what
point
it
makes
sense
to
scale
a
great
question.
It
is
a
big
it's
a
big
mystery.
M
T
Great
question:
I
will
say
there
are
no
natural
lights
on
the
inside
of
the
farm,
which
can
get
a
little
tough,
but
I
actually
started
working
outdoors
at
a
regular
soil
farm
and
I
fell
in
love
with
working
in
the
greenhouse
where,
like
things
were
more
controlled
when
it
rains
the
heat
levels.
So
just
from
a
sustainability
standpoint
for
my
own,
like
ergonomic
health
and
well-being,
I
like
being
indoors
in
a
controlled
environment,
I
wish
we
had
natural
light.
That
is
the
one
thing
that
I
do
wish.
We
had.
F
Hey
hi,
this
is
kim
micah
nice
job.
Well,
I
actually
was
entranced
by
that
video.
You
walked
through
it
extremely
well
and
explained
a
lot
of
great
things:
the
ability
for
you
to
relate
to
how
many
acres.
That
was
how
many
you
know
with
your
four
acres
or
multiple
football
fields.
How
much
can
you
provide
as
far
as
like
food,
for
how
many
families,
what
do
we?
What
are
we
talking
about
here
in
relationship
to
the
number
of
people
we
can
feed.
T
I
think
two
to
three
acres
is
something
that's
kind
of
put
out
there
by
freight
farms
for
us
to
really
understand
it.
It
is
completely
dependent
on
what
you're
growing
in
there
in
terms
of
yield,
so
you
could
be
doing
lettuce,
you
could
be
doing
basil,
you
could
be
doing
carrots
or
potatoes
or
something
more
more
root.
Heavy
more
intensive,
but
we
just
say
two
to
three
acres-
is
like
an
easy
visual
from
a
yield
perspective.
T
F
T
J
F
L
T
These
farms
are
pretty
energy
intensive.
They
use
three
to
five
times
the
amount
of
average
house
in
a
month,
but
one
thing
I
didn't
mention
is
on
top
of
north
market.
We
were
actually
given
a
generous
gift
from
twin
cities,
eco
club
and
a
few
other
community
partners
to
install
a
solar
array,
so
we're
actually
powered
100
on
solar
right
now.
F
T
A
Kindness,
wonderful,
that's
great!
Well
unless
there's
any
other
questions
that
come
through.
Thank
you
so
much
micah.
That
was
a
really
wonderful
video
and
I
know
I'm
going
to
save
the
link,
because
I
want
to
watch
it
later
and
hopefully
share
it
to
some
students
at
mps,
but
really
wonderful,
job
and
great
work,
and
thank
you
so
much
for
sharing
it
with
us
tonight.
A
Great,
thank
you
all
right.
Well
with
that.
We
will
then
move
on
to
our
next
presentation,
which
will
be
our
fellow
councilmember.
Helen
schnoes
is
going
to
be
sharing
an
update
with
us
regarding
nda
and
the
2021
legislative
2021
legislative
session
funding
around
local
food
programs.
So
I
will
pass
it
off
to
you
helen
thanks.
O
Kate
hard
act
to
follow,
I'm
talking
about
like
bureaucratic
legislative
stuff,
and
that
was
an
awesome,
video,
so
yeah
really
great.
I
have
a
few
slides
that
I've
put
together
for
high
level,
but
also
no
I'm
not
getting
everything
so
really
tamara,
and
I
talked
about
welcoming
other
updates
or
or
information
that
other
council
members
have
to
share
related
to
state
funding
for
local
food
systems
and
food
security.
O
I
will
try
to
share
my
screen
accurately,
so
let
me
know
how
this
is
going,
as
I
put
it
in
presenter
mode.
Is
that
working
correctly
yep
that
looks
great?
Okay?
That's
not
my
note
screen,
no
clue
great
thanks,
kate,
hi
everyone.
Just
to
reintroduce
myself.
I
am
helen
schnoe's
regional
marketing
specialist
at
the
mda.
O
I'm
gonna
do
my
best
to
summarize
some
high
level
things
about
the
the
budget
and
welcome
your
questions
as
we
wrap
up.
So
we
just
finished
the
legislative
session
on
june,
30th
and
july
1st
through
june
30th
of
2023
is,
is
the
the
biennium
on
the
two-year
budget
that
we
are
now
in
for
the
state
of
minnesota?
So
at
my
agency,
the
department
of
agriculture,
just
to
kind
of
orient,
let's
see
here,
is
a
glance
of
what
our
budget
looks
like
for.
O
It
is
our
mission
to
enhance
minnesotans
quality
of
life
by
equitably
ensuring
the
integrity
of
our
food
supply,
the
health
of
our
environment
and
the
strength
and
resilience
of
our
agricultural
economy.
Here
you
can
see
our
different
divisions
in
areas
of
work
broken
down.
The
work
I
do
is
is
on
the
promotional
side.
So
my
colleagues
and
I
try
to
help
grow
farm
to
school
programming
and
give
away
grants
and
provide
technical
assistance
and
really
work
on
that
capacity,
building
side
for
our
farmers
and
food
businesses.
O
Others
in
the
agency
have
a
regulatory
role,
so
they're
really
making
sure
that
rules
are
being
followed
and
that
food
is
safe
and
plants
are
protected
and
we're
managing
invasive
species
and
noxious
weeds.
So
it's
it's
a
really
wide-ranging
agency,
but
some
people
don't
don't
recognize
that
we
have
that
regulatory
role
in
addition
to
the
promotional
work.
O
O
That's
come
about
through
a
lot
of
consolidation
in
in
that
market,
and
so
we're
we're
investing
a
lot
to
help
the
smaller
meat
processors
in
minnesota
have
more
capacity
and
and
have
our
resources
better
able
to
support
them
and
expand
that
small
and
mid-scale
meat
processing
in
the
state.
I'm
really
excited
to
see
that
we
have
a
significant
investment
in
how
our
agency
can
support
emerging
farmers.
O
The
definition
that
we
have
for
emerging
farmers
is
a
bit
a
bit
broad.
It
includes
immigrant
farmers,
farmers
of
color,
beginning
farmers,
women,
farmers,
urban
farmers,
so
so
really
anyone
who
you
know
the
the
the
industry
hasn't
kind
of
traditionally
supported,
but
we
know
are
important
not
just
to
what
minnesota
agriculture
is
now,
but
really
what
it's
becoming
as
we
look
ahead.
O
We're
also
looking
at
the
mental
and
physical
health
that
are
related
to
agriculture
and
food
systems,
and
so
we've
been
doing
more
work
recently
led
by
my
colleague,
meg
moynihan,
on
on
farmer,
mental
health
and
rural
mental
health,
and
so
there's
more
funding
to
support
the
continued
development
of
that
work
and
then
close
to
my
heart
and
in
kate's.
Work
as
well
is
our
farm
to
school
grants
and
and
a
lot
of
our
grants
at
the
department
of
agriculture
are
in
what's
called
our
agri
program
that
stands
for
agricultural
growth,
research
and
innovation.
O
The
kind
of
earmarked
amount
within
that
agree
fund
is
the
legislature
allowed
for
up
to
a
doubling
of
how
much
we
can
spend
on
farm
to
school
grants
that
had
previously
been
400
000
for
the
next
two
years.
We
have
the
authority
from
the
legislature
to
grant
up
to
800
000.
In
addition,
our
urban
ag
grants
had
previously
limit,
I
believe,
of
300
000.
O
That
is
now
increased
to
an
earmarked
limit
of
600
000
and
then
also
there
is
a
slight
increase
for
our
agri-good
food
access
program,
which
helps
retailers
invest
in
in
on
on
in-store
equipment
to
better
be
able
to
sell
healthy
local
food
so
really
excited
about
those.
Last
three
and-
and
I
know
a
lot
of
probably
homegrown
members
and
and
community
partners-
were
really
active
in
making
the
legislature
know
about
those
those
priorities
and
those
needs
in
our
state.
O
In
addition
to
the
agriculture
budget,
obviously
there's
a
lot
of
other
budget
if
we
only
have
less
than
a
percent,
and
so
some
of
that
is
also
related
to
food
security,
both
in
funding
and
legislative
work.
I
I
believe
we
may
have
heard
on
a
previous
meeting
that
there
was
some
threat
to
the
market
bucks
program,
which
is
a
program
that
allows
snap
users
food
stamp
users
to
go
to
the
farmer's
market.
O
If
it's
a
participating
farmers
market-
and
I
believe
it's
up
to
ten
dollars
that
they
spend
from
their
federal
food
stamp
benefit
the
market
and
really
the
state
then
helps
them,
expand
that
dollar,
so
that
instead
of
spending
10,
they
get
20.
and
hunger
solution
manages
that
program.
It
came
under
some
unexpected
heat,
but
there
was
great
rallying
in
in
our
state
to
say
no.
This
is
a
win-win-win
where
communities
benefit
shoppers
benefit,
farmers
benefit
and
it
has
been
saved,
which
is
exciting.
O
Our
colleagues
or
my
colleagues
with
the
department
of
human
services
wanted
me
to
highlight
two
legislative
changes
that
are
significant
to
food
security
in
the
state.
One
is
that
tribes
are
now
allowed
to
apply
for
the
minnesota
food
shelf
program
that
they
manage,
and
also
that
there's
new
funding
to
implement
a
more
robust
quality
control
for
for
snap
and
food
stamps
again
that
federal
program,
that's
administered
here
at
the
state
level.
O
The
only
other
highlight
I
have
just
because
I
know
other
announcements
are
coming
out
from
city
and
county
governments
is,
you
know,
there's
still
a
lot
of
funding
that
is
coming
from
the
feds
related
to
the
american
rescue
plan
and
a
significant
amount
of
that
funding
was
give
it
was.
You
know,
granted
to
state
governments.
O
The
legislature
made
an
agreement
with
the
governor
that
the
majority
of
the
funding
coming
to
this
to
the
state
government,
as
part
of
that
relief
is
is,
is
not
going
to
be
decided
at
an
agency
level,
but
will
be
included
in
the
next
legislative
session.
I
I
don't
know
all
the
details
on
that,
but
that
that's
the
that's
what
I
understand
at
this
point.
So
if
folks
have
more
precise
questions,
we
can
maybe
engage
someone
in
legislative
affairs
to
provide
a
more
precise
update.
So
that
is
what
I
have
for
now.
O
A
Thank
you
so
much
helen.
That
was
great
a
great
overview
and
we
appreciate
those
updates
and
exciting
to
hear
some
of
the
good
news
that
was
included
in
that,
especially
given
the
updates
we'd
heard
at
previous
meetings
around
market
bucks
and
yes,
some
of
those
increased
funds
for
other
work
to
strengthen
our
local
food
system
and
support
emerging
farmers.
It's
that's
really
great
news.
So
are
there
any
questions
that
council,
members
or
community
members
have
for.
A
F
O
N
K
K
A
Thank
you
for
that.
Additional
information,
devon
and
helen
just
shared
the
link
to
the
marketbox
page
on
hunger
solutions
and
for
those
of
you
who
are
calling
in
and
don't
have
access
to
the
chat.
All
the
links
and
and
everything
put
in
the
chat
will
be
in
the
public
meeting
notes
after
this.
So
you're
welcome
to
log
on
once.
The
meeting
notes
are
are
published
to
access
those
links
as
well.
A
Okay,
wonderful!
Well,
then,
we'll
move
on
but
helen
once
again.
Thank
you
so
much
for
the
updates.
We
really
appreciate
it
and
yeah.
We
will
we'll
move
on
now
to
the
discussion
portion
of
our
meeting,
which
will
be
led
by
tamra
and
sam,
around
in-person
meetings
for
city
boards
and
commissions
and
we'll
be
doing
a
brief
poll,
so
I
will
hand
it
over
to
them
and
an
exciting
topic.
Considering
how
long
we've
been
meeting
virtually.
B
No
doubt-
and
I
will
see
if
anybody
else
had
any
other
legislative
updates-
really
appreciate
helen's
sharing
from
the
mda,
and
we
could
do
that
in
announcements.
If
there
were
any
other
any
things
we
should
have
in
our
radar
to
celebrate
or
to
be
kind
of
watching.
But
yes,
as
you
mentioned,
we've
had
a
long
run
here
online
together
and
we
are
doing
so
under
the
requirement
that
we've
had
to
not
meet
in
person
which
will
be
changing
as
the
as
most
people
probably
have
followed.
B
The
governor
and
the
state
have
shifted
the
declaration
of
emergency,
but
the
city
has
made
a
decision
to
extend
the
kind
of
certain
portions
of
the
emergency
declaration
through
the
end
of
september,
and
that
is
something
that
allows
us
to
meet.
Virtually
the
state's
rules
for
public
meetings
do
once
this
emergency
officially
has
ended,
require
us
to
meet
in
person
and
if
we
are
not
meeting
in
person,
there's
a
number
of
accommodations
that
would
need
to
be
made
for
that
hybrid
meeting.
B
So
sam
has
has
got
a
few
kind
of
just
the
a
bullet
point
overview
of
what
we
were
kind
of
hearing
from
the
clerk's
office
and
and
has
the
mentee
poll
links
we'll
just
do
two
really
short
and
sweet
questions
to
give
ourselves
a
sense
of
how
we're
all
feeling
and
again.
These
are
basically
rules
that
we
are
required
to
follow,
whether
it's
to
to
be
required
to
meet
virtually
or
to
be
required
to
meet
in
person.
But
there
would
be
some
accommodations
that
could
be
there.
B
So
I
will
have
sam
give
that
additional
clarification
and
then
we'll
we'll
have
the
two
questions
which
we
can
pause
after
each
one
and
just
kind
of
take
stock
of
how
how
our
group
is
is
feeling
about
this.
This
transition,
which
we'll
have
at
least
a
couple
months
here
to
make
so
sam.
If
you
are
available
to
come
into
your
audio
yep,
we're
good.
W
So,
like
tamara
said,
we
are
just
passing
on
guidance
from
the
city
clerk's
office.
There
any
questions
about
this.
Please
just
let
us
know
it's
just
a
big
change
for
all
of
us,
since
we've
been
doing
this
for
so
long,
so,
basically
all
the
prior
regulation
that
happened
during
emergency
times
for
public
meetings
required
for
everybody
just
to
be
heard,
but
going
forward.
Everybody
must
be
heard
and
seen
in
order
to
participate
remotely.
W
So
it's
just
a
little
more
requires
a
lot
more
of
a
meeting
location
versus
just
any
public
space
and
then
again
all
that
applies
to
members
of
the
food
council.
That
is
that
who,
like
it,
only
applies
to
that.
If
you're
a
member
of
the
public,
that's
listening
right
now,
you
can
participate
enrolling
just
with
audio
like
calling
in
just
before,
like
you
did
with
any
other
public
meeting,
that's
still
acceptable
to
you
and
then
there
are
a
few
exceptions.
B
You
I
mean,
I
think,
not
only
is
this
full
of
legalize
we,
we
did
have
a
meeting
with
this
city
attorney,
trying
to
walk
us
board
and
commission
staff
through
all
of
the
legal
requirements
that
we
do
need
to
and
want
to
follow,
to
have
our
meetings
be
legal
and
accessible
meetings.
So,
thank
you,
sam.
It
is
it's
simple
and
complicated
at
the
same
time,
depending
on
how
like
in
in
life
with
the
pandemic.
B
And
so
you
know
I
I
will
say
for
those
that
are
maybe
just
started
in
the
food
council
last
year
and
so
mostly
have
participated
in
this
way
or
are
calling
in
for
the
first
time
as
a
non-member
participant.
You
know
we
used
to
rotate
every
month
to
a
different
location,
and
that
was
part
of
the
joy
of
being
at
a
food
council
meeting
and
being
a
member
or
a
community
participant
that
we
got
to
see.
B
If,
if
we
continue
in
that
way,
however,
conversely,
if
we
were
to
meet
downtown,
we
we
do
know
that
that's
posed
challenges
that
people
have
been
vocal
about.
We
have
access
to
city
buildings
for
meetings,
but
that
is
a
a
parking
expense,
often
for
folks
and
getting
through
the
if
the
traffic
returns
downtown
kind
of
a
challenge.
B
So
this
is,
you
know
something
that
we
can
talk
about
as
to
where
we
meet
and
and
if
we
rotate
in
the
same
way,
but
the
the
first
mentee
question
will
let's
see
here
if
that
has
been
dropped
in
the
chat
yet
and
then
we
can
have
folks.
Thank
you.
So
much
sam
we've
got
https
to
like
this.
The

B
B
B
B
B
B
So
we'll
give
the
opportunity
here
to
continue
adding
the
comments
and
then
we'll
look
at
our
responses
to
the
first
one
and
kind
of
review
together.
I
think,
since
we
can
all
see
these
as
they're
coming
in,
I
can't
wait
to
see.
Folks
in
person
is
the
first
comment.
It
is
still
simply
not
safe,
yet
people
are
still
getting
and
dying
from
covid.
B
B
None
safety
of
unvaccinated
folks,
confusion,
revaccination
boosters
burden
for
parents
likely
bringing
children
back
to
schools
in
person
in
the
fall
accessibility
for
community
members
at
large.
Could
there
be
a
seasonal
approach
more
virtual
in
winter
hard
to
know
now
what
will
be
happening
with
variants,
longevity
of
vaccine
effectiveness,
etc.
Meeting
indoors
may
pose
risks.
B
I
am
confused
by
the
rules.
What
are
the
rules
about
hybrid
meetings,
offering
some
virtual
option
to
increase
access
for
parents
and
those
without
transportation,
flexible
in
case
of
another
wave
of
illness?
If
people
live
with
anyone
who
is
immunocompromised,
would
there
be
a
hybrid
option?
So
I
will
kind
of
elaborate
in
a
couple
ways
on
some
of
these
questions,
as
people
are
still
typing.
In
any
other
comments
that
we
will
be
required
to
go
back
in
person
with
at
least
one
person
at
the
site
and
with
that
opportunity.
B
If
we
chose
as
a
group
to
pursue
it
that
if
we
had
a
a
remote
option,
people
would
have
to
be
able
to
see
and
hear
each
other
if
they're
members
and
so
sam
described
the
kind
of
legal
language
around
the
exceptions
that
could
be
made
about
the
seeing
and
hearing
but
somebody's
on
site
at
a
designated
address.
And
we
would
have
the
technology
then
in
place
wherever
we
are,
so
that
we
could
all
in
participating
in
discussions.
B
It
wouldn't
just
be
a
you
can
hear
you
would
have
to
be
able
to
see
and
hear
people
would
have
to
dial
in
by
video
from
wherever
they
are
and
whoever
is
leading
a
meeting.
Or
you
know
the
one
on
the
kind
of
lead
of
any
discussion
has
to
be
able
to
be
seen
and
heard.
So
that
will
be
our
requirement
if
we
aren't
just
simply
in
person
which
I
am
certainly
anticipating.
B
There
will
be
people
that
wouldn't
be
comfortable
and
so
just
to
be
very
forthcoming,
we're
still
figuring
out
how
we
would
do
that
and
how
how
that
may
look
and
what
our
options
are
and
there's
another
meeting
scheduled
for
a
couple
weeks
from
now
with
the
clerk's
office
and
we're
getting
ongoing
briefings
about
our
requirements
and
trying
to
understand
them
so
kate.
I
see
your
hand
there.
A
Yeah,
just
a
clarifying
question
to
make
sure
I
understood,
and
did
I
also
hear
that
so
if
we
were
to
so,
we
will
be
moving
back
to
in-person
meetings.
If
we
offer
the
option
for
members
to
attend
remotely
that
also
members
can
only
miss
three
meetings
in
person
was
there?
Am
I
understanding
that
correctly
that
there
was
a
limit
to
how
many
meetings
you
could
attend
remotely
unless
you
qualified,
for
some
of
the
other
exceptions
listed
like
being
in
the
military.
B
Right
so
there
is
currently
a
three
meeting
role
for
any
member
as
it
stands,
and
then
they've
tried
to
articulate
what
those
kind
of
excused
absences
would
look
like
and
there's
that
military
or,
if
you're
kind
of
ill.
You
know,
then
that
would
be
another
exception,
and
so
there
are-
and
that
would
be
an
exception
to
the
opportunity
to
be
able
to
see
and
hear
each
other
or
to
be
in
person.
B
So
if
somebody
dials
in
and
you
can
see
and
hear
them,
then
they
would
count
as
present
if
we've
offered
that
technology
option,
but
we
just
have
to
go
into
this.
If
we're
going
to
do
it,
offering
an
effective
way
for
people
to
see
and
hear
each
other,
and
maybe
it's
where
at
a
meeting
space
and
we
have
to
just
I
don't
I
don't
know
tilt
the
computer,
I
can
anticipate
the
audio
and
video
will
not
be
ideal.
As
some
people
may
recall,
we
had
some
video.
B
You
know
that
wasn't
live
feed
where
we
were
recording
and
then,
after
the
fact,
posting
it
during
our
kind
of
food
council
action
plan,
presentation,
meetings
and
there's
a
lot
of
equipment
to
carry
around
if
we're
not
in
the
same
room
downtown
each
time
as
well
as
just
getting
the
audio
and
and
the
video
in
that
way
was
really
challenging.
So
I
think
that
this
seems,
like
it'll,
be
an
important
thing
for
us
to
navigate
knowing
people's
legitimate
anxieties
about
being
in
a
room
together.
B
So
whenever
it
is,
it
may
feel
quick
whenever
it
happens
and
understanding
that
want
to
get
a
sense
of
how
many
people
are
excited
versus
concerned
or
both
right,
which
I
think
many
of
us
feel
all
of
the
emotions.
So
so
it
looks
like
we've
got
10
out
of
the
votes
taken,
10,
yeses
and
one.
No.
If
somebody
didn't
know
their
answer,
then
they
may
not
have
responded.
So
the
nose
will
matter.
B
So
I
really
do
appreciate
that
that
maybe
we've
gained
some
participation
through
this
as
well,
and
it
may
not
just
be
the
the
question
in
relation
to
covid,
but
some
of
those
other
life
life
commitments
that
people
have.
So
this
isn't
the
only
time
that
we'll
give
information
or
give
a
way
to
weigh
in,
but
it
is
helpful
to
to
see
these
comments
and
is
there
anything
anybody
else
would
like
to
add
before
we
move
to
the
to
the
end,
since
we
are
kind
of
short
on
time
here,.
B
So
we
will
still
be
meeting
virtually
next
month
to
be
clear.
If
there's
any
confusion
on
that-
and
I
I
think
in
in
september
as
well
and
and
we
have
the
option
in
september-
it
looks
like
to
go
back
in
person
or
to
stay
remote
and
it
clearly
will
need
some
time
to
get
the
the
plan
made
for
this.
So
it's
it's.
If
a
hybrid
option
is
rolled
out,
it
will
not
be
in
the
next
couple
months
here
so
but
more
to
come.
B
Thanks
sam,
we
have
a
few
city
announcements
which
I
can
be
quick
on
and
then
give
room
for
any
other
announcements.
One
exciting
announcement
that
I
think
might
have
actually
gone
live
today.
I
see
it
live
on
the
city
website.
We
are
hiring
a
a
full-time
staff
position
for
homegrown
the
food
security,
public
health,
specialist,
and
that
will
be
open.
I
believe
for
the
next
couple
weeks
and
it
is
posted,
now
live.
B
I
did
check
on
the
city's
jobs
page,
and
this
is
going
to
be
a
very
exciting
and
important
role
in
helping
us
to
administer
funds
for
food
security
that
we
are
really
appreciative
to
have
supporting
our
local
food
system,
with
a
cdc
grant
that
the
health
department
has
and
and
some
of
those
arpa
funds
as
well
and
patty.
If
you
want
to
add
anything,
I
would
be
happy
for
you
to
to
join
in
here.
U
Yeah
I
was
just
trying
to
find
the
link,
so
I
could
put
it
in
the
chat,
but
if
you
go
to
the
city's
web
page
and
go
to
job
city,
jobs,
you'll
see
it,
and
I
can't
remember
when
it
closes
tamara.
Oh
there
we
go.
Thank
you
grace,
but
if
you
know
we,
we
really
hope
that
you
will
promote
this
opportunity.
B
B
This
is
a
really
great
opportunity
for
somebody
who
really
cares
about
this
work,
and
I
know
you
all
are
so
embedded
in
the
work
yourselves,
and
so
please
help
us
get
the
word
out
or,
if
you're
thinking
about
it
yourself,
you
know,
feel
free
to
throw
your
hat
in
the
ring,
but
we're
just
really
really
really
excited
and
grateful
to
have
the
opportunity
to
expand
the
capacity
and
doing
this
important
work.
So
that
is
that
one
we
also
have
a
different
kind
of
opening.
B
If
we
have
somebody
who
would
like
to
consider
stepping
into
that
role,
it's
basically
a
monthly
meeting
and
about
an
hour
long
in
preparing
for
the
food
council
meeting
of
the
the
upcoming
month
and
just
some
kind
of
ongoing
visioning.
That
really
is,
is
focused
right
now,
on
kind
of
continuing
to
get
that
food
action,
plan
done
and
kind
of
look
look
at
those
other
emergent
opportunities
like
the
park
board
comments
and
and
other
ways
the
food
council
can
be
responsive
and
proactive.
B
So
I
will
send
a
follow-up
email
after
this
meeting.
Please
let
myself
or
sega
or
kate
know.
If
you
are
interested
or
have
any
questions
about
the
role,
and
we
will
welcome
and
encourage
any
kind
of
self
nominations
or
any
suggestions
of
folks
that
that
maybe
could
be
nudged
a
little
to
to
participate
in
this
leadership
role
with
the
group,
any
questions
or
comments.
B
Okay
feel
free
to
follow
up
with
any
questions
or
comments,
after
the
other
update
is
that
I
just
can't
believe
it,
but
it
is
already
just
about
time
to
consider
whether
you
will
apply
to
continue
for
two
more
years
as
a
food
council
member.
I
will
echo
what
I
said
previously
about
how
it
usually
has
been
as
a
food
council
member,
not
virtual
in
the
next
two
years.
Of
course,
it
will
be
probably
an
ongoing
evolution
back
into
whatever
that
next
normal
is.
B
But
I
know
that
there
is
many
wonderful
experiences
and
policy
and
community
building
opportunities
together,
and
so
you
can
start
to
let
those
those
little
thoughts,
percolate
about
your
role
as
a
food
council
member,
and
it
will
be
by
the
end
of
august,
that
we
would
be
looking
at
beginning
that
recruitment
cycle
for
the
next
year.
And
so
it's
a
two-year
term,
and
we
will
be
sharing
more
on
that.
A
K
I'm
going
to
I'd
hit,
send
too
quick
just
wanted
to
make
an
announcement
that
appetite
for
change
is
hiring
a
couple
different
roles
for
a
north
side
fresh
coordinator
as
well
as
you
may
be
aware
that
breaking
bread
reopened
with
a
soft
launch
today.
So
we're
looking
to
ramp
up
that
thing
there
as
well,
and
that's
why
I'm
a
little
sleepy,
I
had
pretty
heavy
lunch.
It
was
really
good
and
also
just
to
make
folks
aware
that
the
west
broadway
farmers
market
is
still
accepting
applications
for
vendors.
K
Q
I
Yeah
this
is
amy
from
hennepin
county,
so
this
fall
we're
going
to
be
doing
another
round
of
our
food
waste
prevention
challenge
and
something
we
want
to
do
this
time
is
to
host
four
workshops.
So
we
are
going
to
be
looking
to
see
if
people
can
host
workshops
on
things
like
knife
skills,
basic
cooking,
local
foods
just
for
people
to
attend.
So
if
that
sounds
like
something
that
interests
you
or
you
know
someone
who
would
be
really
great
for
that,
I
would
appreciate
if
you
come,
my.
M
A
You
know
I
can't
stay
away
and
want
to
see
you
all
whether
it's
in
person
or
on
teams
but
I'll
I'll,
say
many
thanks
in
advance
to
sega
our
wonderful
co-chair,
who
will
be
helping
while
I'm
out
as
well
as
tamara
and
the
great
executive
committee,
also
for
their
leadership
and
yeah
I'll
I'll.
See
you
all
soon,
but
probably
not
in.
