A
I
guess
I'll
start,
my
name
is
ashley
boone.
I
work
in
the
civil
rights
department
and
veronica.
A
Hi,
I'm
excuse
me,
I'm
veronica
moore,
director
of
sithul.
B
B
A
D
A
Madeline
lohmann
advocates
for
human
rights.
B
I
still
can't
figure
out
how
to
get
this
open.
I
don't
know
why
this
is
not
working
on
my
computer,
so
I'm
really
frustrated.
I
apologize
I'm
a
little
out
of
sorts,
but
welcome
all
I
I
do
would
just
like
before
we
jump
into
the
agenda.
B
I
just
do
want
to
take
a
moment
for
everyone
to
have
like
30
seconds
to
just
reflect
on
the
last
24
hours
and
everything
else
that's
been
happening
in
our
cities,
so
just
maybe
30
to
30
30,
to
60
seconds
of
silence
here
for
a
moment
would
be
appropriate
for
us
all
to
do
just
a
little
internal
reflection
before
we
hop
into
the
agenda.
If
you
would
all
take
that
moment
so
we'll
start.
B
B
B
All
right,
thank
you
all.
I
just
don't
want
to
move
into
any
of
these
spaces,
thinking
that
things
are
business
as
usual
when
they
are
not,
but
we
do
have
an
agenda.
I
know
some
of
us
have
other
obligations
this
evening,
so
I'm
hoping
that
we
can
get
done
early
like
we
have
the
last
couple
meetings.
B
So
the
first
thing
is
an
update
from
frank,
frank:
do
you
want
to
take
it
away?
Please.
D
Absolutely
happy
to
do
that.
I
don't
have
a
whole
lot.
I
will
note
that,
as
you
all
know,
we
are
going
through
the
hiring
process
and
so
we've
interviewed
a
number
of
people,
but
that
is
ongoing.
Hopefully,
we'll
have
a
good
outcome
that
we,
the
people
that
we
did
interview,
were
we're
all
really
good,
so
we've
got
kind
of
a
wrestling
match
ahead
of
us,
but
hopefully
we'll
have
a
good
outcome
really
soon
for
everyone
other
than
that
on
sort
of
like
a
broader
scale.
D
Looking
at
the
department
and
everything
that
we're
doing,
there
has
been
a
lot,
and
today
is
just
more
on
top
of
all
of
that.
I
think
we're
all
feeling
very
heavy
right
now
and
trying
to
manage
our
way
forward,
but
we'll
get
there.
I
just
I
wanted
to
make
that
clear
to
everybody,
so
that's
kind
of
where
we
are
right
now.
If
there
are
any
questions,
I'm
happy
to
take
thanks.
B
Okay,
so
then
we
will
move
then
into
updates
and
I'm
sorry
I'm
still
on
my
phone,
but
I
think
I
figured
out
why
I
couldn't
get
on
the
computer,
so
I
might
have
it
up
here
in
a
minute,
so
I'm
still
on
my
phone.
So
I
can't
see
if
people
hop
in
so
now
we're
going
to
do
the
regular
updates
do.
Does
any
of
the
committee
members
have
updates
generally
to
share
about
what's
happening
in
their
industries
or
in
their
communities?.
C
C
All
right,
so
this
is
brian
there's
just
a
lot
going
on
at
the
capitol
right
now,
and
I
think
a
note
for
this
group
is
that
emergency
leave
is
and
recall,
rights
and
thick
time
are
all
in
the
house.
C
Labor
bill
and
payphone
medical
leave
is
also
in
the
jobs
bill,
they're
going
to
be
combined,
but
of
course
none
of
those
things
are
in
the
senate
bills.
The
governor's
supplemental
budget
has
start-up
money
for
paid
family
medical
leave.
It
has
the
enforcement
costs
for
sick
time
and
we're
hoping
for
a.
C
For
a
good,
I
guess
third
budget
iteration
a
second
revised
budget
once
we
get
more
guidance
about
how
exactly
the
american
rescue
plan
money
can
be
used.
But
you
know,
minneapolis
is
also
getting
like
280
million
dollars.
That
could
be
part
of
which
at
least
could
be
used
for
premium
pay
for
essential
workers
and
emergency
leave,
and
things
like
that
as
well,
and
I
think
that's
probably
going
to
be
necessary
given
given
what
we
may
or
may
not
get
at
the
capitol.
E
E
The
ordinance
will
look
really
pretty
much
the
same
as
the
minneapolis
ordinance,
except
that
it
will
include
it
will
include
a
private
right
of
action
in
saint
paul
and
we're
looking
at
a
june
first
effective
date
and
de
bruyne's
point
recall
is
also
in
the
is
also
going
to
the
labor
and
workforce
omnibus
bill,
and
that's
just
really
terrific
news,
and
so,
even
if
we
have
coverage
in
the
city
of
saint
paul
and
minneapolis,
we'll
be
able
to
really
extend
that
coverage
to
a
lot
more
workers
around
the
state.
A
When
I've
got
the
update
about
the
the
downtown
workers
council,
but
it
which
has
kind
of
been
touched
yeah
should
I
go
into
that
now
or
do
we
have
some.
B
Why
don't
we
just
wade
and
frank?
Is
there
anything
else
on
the
hospitality
worker
right
to
recall
ordinance
that
you
want
to
add
for
minneapolis,
not
just
st
paul.
E
In
minneapolis
I
I
got
an
email
from
brian
just
before
he
went
on
vacation,
saying
he'd
be
back
this
week,
and
I
know
that
he's
working
on
on
an
faq
and
so
we're
just
we'll
go
through
that
with
a
fine
two
comb
and
make
sure
that
the
ordinance
works.
When
it
comes
to
the
rules.
D
Yep,
I
read
it
reiterate
that
point.
I
know
that
the
we're
working
on
a
draft
of
faqs
and
like
we
were
saying
we're
gonna,
go
through
it
and
make
sure
that
it's
all
accurate
and
ready
to
go.
My
recollection
is
the
the
ordinance
goes
active.
May
first,
am
I
wrong
about
that
wade.
B
All
right
so
then,
yes,
downtown
workers,
council,
veronica,
take
it
away.
A
Yeah,
so
we
had
we
had
another
meeting
last
week
with
the
mayor
council,
member
fletcher
and
council
member
cunningham
we're
workers
and
advocates
folks.
You
know
many
of
us
around
the
table
were
there
to
talk
about
what
of
the
different
pieces
that
workers
have
put
forward
originally
that
we
really
like
sink
our
teeth
into.
A
There
was
a
smaller
meeting
with
the
mayor
and
a
couple
of
other
of
us
before
that,
just
to
make
sure
that
the
mayor
had
all
of
the
information
he
needed,
and
it
does
feel-
and
I
was
at
that
meeting
brian
elliott
from
this
committee
was
at
that
meeting
and
then
we
had
a
one
of
the
workers
from
seiu
from
the
from
the
workers
council,
a
part
of
that
meeting
and
so
yeah.
A
I
think
what
what
we
got
in
the
the
last
conversation
with
the
mayor
was
the
mayor
feeling
optimistic
about
and
wanting
to
partner
with
other
city
council
members,
many
of
whom
have
been
supportive
on
on
moving
in
minneapolis.
A
Some
version
of
the
state
bill
that
brian
just
discussed
as
we
know
that
we're
probably
not
gonna
get
everything
that
we
want
from
it
on
the
state
level,
and
it
just
seems
like
such
an
opportunity
to
do
that
on
a
city
level,
considering
that
the
city,
neither
the
city
nor
the
employers,
have
to
pay
the
direct
amount
of
money
that
there's
still
money
coming
from
the
federal
government
to
be
able
to
move
that
which
the
mayor
said
he
was,
he
was
excited
to
learn
that
and
that
that
seemed
like
something
that
might
be
possible
to
move
through
the
council,
and
so
we've
got
some
work
to
do
to
connect
with
the
council
to
move
that
in
minneapolis.
A
Another.
The
the
second
piece
was
about
masks
about
ppe,
and
you
know
the
mayor
has
said
that
he
is.
He
is
clear
that
it
is
a
responsibility
of
the
city
to
make
sure
that
every
person
that
needs
a
mask
has
a
mask,
and
so
we're
talking
about
a
need
to
follow
up
on
some
opportunities,
because
what
have
been
important
to
us
was
saying
you
know
what
we
had
brought
previously
from
this
group.
A
Is
that
is
important
that
if
the
you
know
if
an
employer
is
requiring
a
worker
to
wear
a
mask,
the
employer
should
be
providing
this
to
that
worker
to
do
their
job
and
that
when
that
doesn't
happen,
we
end
up
with
you
know:
workers
wearing
whatever
scarf
handkerchief.
A
You
know
bandana
kind
of
thing
and
instead
of
wearing
high
quality
ppe,
that's
actually
going
to
keep.
You
know
this
going
to
protect
the
rest
of
the
public
and
create
higher
standards
for
public
safety
and
less
you
know
getting
more
virus
out
there.
So
so
we're
talking
about
how
can
we?
How
can
the
city?
How
can
the
mayor
work
to
really
to
ensure
that
those
masks
get
out
to
employers
and
workers,
but
then
also
really
putting
a
you
know?
A
I
think
we're
kind
of
in
the
middle
of
figuring
out
the
mayor's
not
comfortable,
creating
a
mandate
to
say
employers
must
do
this
and
we're
still,
I
think,
talking
about
that,
but
then
also
he's
thinking
if
he
can't,
if
he
doesn't
do
that,
then
what
can
he
do?
To
really
kind
of,
I
don't
want
to
say
put
the
pressure
on.
A
I'm
just
really
put
a
little
bit
more
of
the
onus
on
employers
to
be
the
ones
providing
the
best,
so
the
city
can
provide
tasks
to
employees.
That
way.
So
anyhow,
that's
something
we're
still
in
conversation
about
as
well
and
then
the
final
piece
was
was.
The
mayor
is
very
supportive
of
a
plan
to
ensure
that
all
workers
are
getting
trained
on
their
coveted
safety
rights
and
that,
even
as
you
know,
folks
are
getting
vaccined
we're
still
seeing.
A
Obviously,
it's
tremendous
spread
and
folks,
you
know
a
lot
more
people
going
to
the
hospital
like
we
just
really
need
to
continue
to
take
this
seriously
and
especially
given
the
fact
that
workers-
you
know
this,
and
this
is
anecdotal.
We
don't
have
like
hard
evidence,
but
from
all
of
the
different
worker
organizations
that
we've
spoken
to.
Nobody
has
heard
of
a
single
worker
who
was
included
in
any
kobe
preparedness
plan
and
creating
that
plan
with
their
employer,
as
they
were
supposed
to
be
for
the
governor.
A
So
because
of
that
workers
not
only
weren't
a
part
of
it,
they
don't
even
know
what
their
covet
safety
rights
are
and
often
people
you
know.
May
know,
oh,
I
know
I
might
know
that
they
have
sick
and
safe
time,
but
that
might
not
be
realizing
and
thinking
about
like
how
that
connects
the
povid
and
the
fact
that
oh,
I
can
use
that
time.
A
When
my
you
know
when
I
have
to
stay
home,
because
there
was
a
an
outbreak
in
my
my
child's
class
or
something
like
that,
so
that
the
the
mayor
was
very
supportive
of
and
having
follow-up
conversations
to
figure
out
how
we
ensure
that
workers
can
get
that
training
on
paid
time
so
that
they
don't
have
to
so
that,
like
yeah,
so
they
don't
have
to
like
come
into
work
and
not
get
paid
to
get
trained
or
some
such
thing,
but
rather
that
it
actually
happens
on
the
time.
A
A
B
E
B
Yeah,
I
think,
there's
I
was
there
listening
in
and
there's
a
big
interest
in
the
part
of
all
of
the
elected
officials
that
were
on
the
call
about
being
very
policy
oriented,
so
I'm
really
interested
in
these
like
specific
mechanisms
and
policies
that
we
can
continue
to
bring
forward
to
them.
So
thank
you,
veronica
for
your
leadership
on
this
and
what
you've
done.
B
B
It
had
an
update
that
I
wasn't
prepared
for
so
anything
else
on
the
downtown
workers
council.
B
E
E
So
I
just
it
goes
without
saying
that
I'd
really
like
to
thank
frank
and
and
brian
in
you
know,
in
civil
rights,
for
all
the
work
and
the
effort
they
put
into
it
and
and
and
for
I
think,
thinking
about
it
in
in
a
really
proactive
way
about
how
how
to
reach
out
to
employers
on
on
the
front
ends.
E
So
it
makes
enforcement
on
the
back
end,
more
productive
and
more
more
nimble
and
and
to
the
folks
here
at
the
at
mwac,
because
without
your
support
I
I'm
not
sure
it
would
have
gotten
done
and
so
again
thank
you
and
the
workers.
Thank
you.
B
D
I
was
gonna
say
I
was
struggling
with
my
computer
thanks
to
you
wade,
I'm
really
all
your
work
and
being
thoughtful
and
and
pushing
this
work
forward.
I've
been
wanting
to
reach
out
to
you
to
tell
you
that,
but
things
got
away
from
me
for
a
little
bit,
but
your
work
is
very
much
appreciated.
A
I
mean
I
mean
it
could
be
this
piece
around.
You
know
the
the
essential
workers
pay.
C
B
B
Hopefully
next
month
we
can
also
look
at
any
vacant
spots
on
the
committee
that
need
to
be
filled.
I
know,
there's
been
a
few
that
we've
been
trying
to
recruit
for
because
we
want
to
keep
the
full
committee
at
its
capacity
with
our
best
and
brightest
folks
who
want
to
make
sure
that
workplaces
in
minneapolis
and
beyond
are
thriving
both
for
employers
and
employees.
B
So
I
look
forward
to
doing
that
and
if
anyone
has
questions
or
comments,
especially
to
the
new
people
on
the
committee,
it's
not
common
for
us
to
have
short
meetings,
usually
where
usually
we're
like
pushing
up
to
5
30
and
nobody
wants
to
stop.
B
But
I
do
want
people
to
feel
comfortable
to
reach
out
to
me
directly,
especially
to
the
new
folks,
who
might
not
know
me
or
haven't
seen
me
in
person
and
only
see
me
on
video,
and
I
can't
even
go
into
the
chat
right
now
to
type
in
my
contact
information
but
ashley.
When
you,
when
you
send
out
the
next
notification.
B
Will
you
make
sure
to
include
my
cell
phone
number
in
that,
because
I
would
like
to
everyone
to
be
able
to
access
that
and
get
in
touch
with
me
as
needed.
B
All
right
anything
else
that
people
want
to
see
on
the
agenda
next
month.
Besides
vacant
positions
on
the
committee
and
the
normal
stuff,
we
usually
put
on
there
anything
special
next
month.
B
A
Sure
I
do
wait.
I
do
have
a
thing
that
we
should
talk
about
next
time.
Sorry,
I
forgot
it'll
only
take
me
an
hour
to
get
through
my
list
so.
