Good
afternoon
welcome
to
this
live
broadcast
of
our
virtual
meeting.
This
meeting
includes
the
remote
participation
of
members
as
authorized
under
minnesota
statutes,
section
13
d
.021,
due
to
the
declared
local
health
pandemic.
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.

Next
is
the
chairs
report,
and
I
don't
really
have
anything
to
report
except
to
announce
that
the
city's
redistricting
webpage
is
now
live,
including
the
district
r
function
which
lets
citizens
go
on
to
and
see
what
the
map
that
currently
looks
like
and
draw
their
own
proposed
maps
and
submit
them
to
us.
So
I
would
encourage
everybody
to
go
on
to
the
city's
web
page,
where
we're
going
to
have
a
training
session
on
how
to
use
the
mapping
tool
next
week.
But
it's
it's.
You
don't
need
a
training
session
to
use
it.
B
It's
very
intuitive
and
it's
sort
of
fun
to
get
on
there
with
a
paintbrush
and
draw
put
certain
neighborhoods
in
certain
wards
and
move
things
around
a
little
bit.
It's
I
was
on
it
for
an
hour
before
I
realized
how
much
time
it
would
take,
but
I
would
encourage
everyone
to
do
so
before
our
session
next
week.
B
B
I
think
I've
made
this
statement
before,
but
people
don't
really
get
interested
in
this
process
unless
they're,
redistricting
nerds
or
until
there
is
a
map
for
them
to
react
to,
and
once
we
draw
our
first
map
I'm,
I
can
assure
you
that
we
will
have
lots
of
interested
people
with
comments
so
well.
I
wish
we
had
more
speakers
that
were
engaged.
B
That's
how
many
signed
up,
and
I
think
we
did
as
much
as
we
can
to
get
the
word
out,
but
let's
start
with
a
short
overview
of
how
redistricting
works
and
what
the
timeline
is
next
slide.
Please
redistricting
is
the
redrawing
of
ward
and
park
district
lines,
which
is
done
after
every
decennial
census.
B
B
B
Next
slide,
please.
Our
timeline
here
is
in
the
third
quarter,
which
is
now
passed.
We're
going
to
appoint
the
the
advisory
group
members
in
the
fourth
quarter,
we're
going
to
continue
to
have
listing
sessions
we're
going
to.
We
have
the
final
census
data
and
we're
going
to
train
ourselves
as
to
how
to
use
the
redistricting
tool
and
put
together
a
draft
map.
B
Next
fall
there
will
be
an
election.
Sorry
next
fall.
There
will
be
a
midterm
election
using
the
2020
census
map
and
in
2023
there
will
be
a
municipal
election,
which
is
a
two-year
council
term
using
the
2020
census
map.
But
this
year
the
election
that's
going
to
occur
in
just
a
couple
of
weeks.
We'll
use
the
2010
census
map
next
slide.
B
B
B
After
the
final
map
is
approved,
it
will
be
submitted
to
the
charter
commission
for
a
final
vote
and
the
charter
commission
will
formally
adopt
the
boundaries
of
the
wards
and
park
board
districts.
The
city
council,
through
the
clerk's
office,
draws
the
precinct
lines
next
slide.
Please
and
group
member
mogan.
Please
take
it
over
from.
A
Here,
thank
you.
Chairclick
elements
of
the
census
data
the
census
blocks
approximately
six
thousand
in
minneapolis.
They
are
the
smallest
geographic
area
for
which
population
summaries
are
released,
bounded.
They
are
bounded
by
city,
streets,
city
blocks
and
physical
features
such
as
rivers
or
railroads
and
they're,
not
based
on
population.
A
These
are
some
of
the
redistricting
tools.
There's
a
districtr.org
that
is
live.
I've
had
an
opportunity
to
go
on
there.
It's
like
chair
clegg,
said
it's
very
interesting
and
it
seems
very
simple
to
navigate
it's
a
public
web-based.
Mapping
tool
for
districting
will
be
customized
or
has
been
customized
for
minneapolis
and
accessible
via
minneapolismn.gov.
A
A
Next
man,
please
proposed
wards
and
districts
will
be
as
equal
in
population
as
practical
within
five
percent
of
the
mean
population
forward
or
park
district,
and
that
five
percent
comes
from
the
city
charter
will
be
no
longer
than
twice.
The
width
will
minimize
changes
in
existing
boundaries,
we'll
consider
communities
of
interest
where
possible
will
not
discriminate
on
bases
of
race,
ethnicity
or
membership
in
language.
Minority
groups.
A
A
A
Next
right
so
chair
clay-
and
I
can
tag
team
this.
This
shows
the
all
the
awards
in
minneapolis
and
shows
you
the
population
on
the
right
that
line
right
there
on
the
side
shows
what
the
ideal
population
should
be,
which
is
thirty,
three
thousand
seventy
three
people,
and
then
you
have
five
percent
above
or
beyond
that
below
above
and
as
you
can
see,
ward
three
and
word
two
have
really
grown
in
population
and
there
are
some
words
that
have
not
kept
up
in
population.
B
B
B
Thank
you
again.
I
would
encourage
everybody
to
get
on
the
city's
website.
You
can
go
and
and
paint
your
own
words.
The
way
you
want
to
you
can
submit
a
plan
to
the
redistricting
group.
There
have
been
a
couple
of
plans
submitted
already
in
full
disclosure.
I
will
disclose
that
I
am
felix
the
cat,
so
I
I
submitted
a
plan
myself
just
to
get
discussions
started
now,
we'll
call
on
our
people
who
have
signed
up
to
speak
tonight.
B

Hi
this
is
michael
altman.
Can
you
hear
me
we
can
hear
you
go
ahead.
Please
I've
been
involved
with
some
of
this
redistricting
software,
so
I'm
sort
of
happy
to
provide
some
expertise,
and
I
know
one
of
the
things
we
struggle
with
is
getting
community
input.
As
you
mentioned,
I'm
wondering
since
communities
of
interest
is
one
of
the
input
pieces
to
drawing
the
maps
and
in
some
sense
people
don't
need
to
draw
maps
in
order
to
identify
communities
of
interest.
B
And
I
would
say
that
the
strategy
has
been
and
remains
to
work
primarily
through
the
neighborhood
and
community
relations
department
of
the
city
of
minneapolis,
which
deals
not
only
with
organized
neighborhoods,
but
other
community
of
interest
groups
and
lets
them
know.
What's
going
on,
gives
them
a
heads
up
as
to
what's
possible
what
input
is
possible
and
and
when
meetings
will
be
etc.
B
B
What
we
found
the
last
time
is
that
there
is
very
little
interest.
I
went
to
to
many
meetings
in
in
park
buildings
around
the
city,
where
I
was
the
only
person
there
until
the
time
when
we
came
up
with
a
draft
map
and
then
the
rooms
were
full
and
we
had
volunteer
demographers
representing
specific
communities
of
interest
who
showed
up
at
all
of
our
meetings.
B
B
B
As
you
remember,
we
have
two
drafts
to
do
at
least
the
first
draft
is
to
present
a
proposed
map
for
public
comment,
and
the
second
draft
is
a
proposed
final
map,
with
two
hearings
held
after
adoption
of
each
map
in
terms
of
whether
we
will
meet
physically
or
virtually,
we
will
follow
the
city's
process.
So
when,
when
the
city
starts
having
in-person
meetings,
we
will
too,
but
until
then
our
meetings
will
be
virtual.
B
B
G
H
Thank
you
chair
in
sharing
the
specifics
of
these
listening
sessions
and
the
the
new
software
available
on
the
city
website
with
various
groups
and
communities
that
I'm
connected
to.
I
piqued
the
interest
of
some
local
media
reporters
who
have
contacted
me
about
sharing
perspective,
and
I
just
wanted
to
check
in
to
see
what
is
the
procedure
and
what
is
the
plan
to
to
handle
and
to
field
such
requests.
B
B
F
B
Before
you
go
on,
thank
you
for
mentioning
that,
because
I'll
I'll
continue
to
plug
for
volunteers
to
the
speakers
bureau,
these
tend
to
be
not
people
who
want
a
half
an
hour's
education
on
how
redistricting
works
it
tends
to
be.
You
know
we're
having
our
neighborhood
meeting
and
we
want
to
know
what's
going
to
happen
to
us
and
so
it's
it's.
Usually
they
want
five
or
ten
minutes
on
their
agenda.
B
F
F
The
other
thing
I
had
I
was
going
to
add,
as
you
mentioned,
that
we're
looking
to
guidance
from
the
city
council
about
how
they
want
to
handle
meetings.
I'm
not
sure
if
it
may
be
it's
not
an
either
or
thing
it
may
not
be
just
teams
or
just
in
person.
There
could
be
a
hybrid
option
that
moves
forward,
so
people
might
want
to
be
prepared
for
that.
But
I
don't
know.
B
And
to
your
point
group,
member
sandberg,
the
two
wards
that
are
over
are
three
and
two
which
is
primarily
downtown
and
the
university
of
minnesota,
and
the
wards
that
are
under
are
one
which
is
in
the
northeast
corner.
But
all
the
rest
of
the
wards
that
are
under
are
basically
in
a
line
extending
south
from
downtown
to
the
city's
southern
edge.
B
So,
what's
going
to
have
to
happen,
is
that
three
and
two
will
shrink
and
they
will
pass
off
voters
and
residents
to
the
wards
to
the
south
of
them,
and
they
will
in
turn
pass
off
residents
to
the
wards
to
the
south
of
them.
So
it's
going
to
be
a
little
bit
like
tetris,
as
as
every
ward
has
to
shrink
and
move
just
a
little
bit
to
get
the
populations
in
line.
