Good
evening
my
name
is
joan
vorderbergen
and
I
am
the
chair
of
the
minneapolis
arts
commission
before
we
begin
I'd
like
to
note
that
this
meeting
includes
the
remote
participation
of
members
as
authorized
under
minnesota
statutes,
section
13d
.021,
due
to
the
declared
local
health
pandemic.
I
will
now
call
this
meeting
to
order
and
ask
the
clerk
to
call
the
role
so
that
we
may
verify
the
presence
of
a
quorum.
A

B
Limbs.Minneapolismn.Gov,
okay,
thanks
everybody
thanks
for
being
here
this
evening,
I
think
we
have
a
good
agenda
filled
with
some
really
positive
work
that
we're
gonna
move
forward
and
or
that
I
believe,
we'll
move
forward,
that
we'll
get
a
presentation
on
from
our
public
art
department,
but
also
some
dialogue.
But
let's
start
with
introductions
and
if
it's
okay,
I'd
like
to
go
last
because
I'd
like
to
take
a
moment
to
just
address
a
little
something.
B
That's
come
up
that
I
just
want
to
kind
of
take
a
moment
for
once
we're
done
with
introduction.
So
how
about
vice
chair
henry?
Will
you
start
and
tag
people
as
you
go.

nikoi

third
year
now
wow,
I'm
one
of
the
old
people.

amazing!
I

I

I'm

E
K
Thanks
hi
everyone,
I'm
lana,
ellsworth
ward,
11.
She
her
hers
and
I
I
serve
on
the
committee
as
a
layperson,
but
I
am
a
avid
arts
enthusiast
emphasizing
performing
arts
like
theater,
but
really
appreciating
and
learning
every
day
about
each
one.
I'm
gonna
tag
lisa.
D
Hi
everybody,
my
name
is
lisa
middag.
I
am
a
she
her
hers
and
I
live
in
ward
2,
which
is
cam,
gordon's
ward
and
I
work
for
the
minneapolis
downtown
improvement
district
on
place-based
strategies
that
make
for
an
inclusive
downtown.
Most
of
that
work.
I
realized
just
for
the
new
folks
when
I
looked
at
the
scope
of
my
budget
for
a
year,
which
was
around
200
grand
most
of
it
went
into
the
hands
of
artists
and
arts
related
organizations.
So
I
I
was
a
lot
more
arts
based
than
I
realized,
even
which
is
great.
D
I
mean
it
was
always
my
intention
anyway.
So
that's
where
most
of
my
work
intersects,
I
think,
with
the
city.
The
minneapolis
did
also
is
the
steward
for
the
nicolette
public
art
installations
that
happen
along
nicolette.
So
our
the
organization
that
I
work
for
is
sort
of
the
sort
of
maintainer
of
those
pieces
and
what
else
is
relevant?
I
don't
know
I'm
knitting
and
I
will
tag
commissioner
silky
jones.
Have
you
gone
already?
Ahava.
C
No,
I
haven't
yet
thank
you.
I
have
to
apologize
in
advance.
I
may
have
to
be
off
video
for
part
of
the
meeting,
but
it's
nice
to
see
all
of
you
and
happy
new
year.
My
name
is
ahava
silky
jones
and
I
represent
ward
7.
C
I
am
the
executive
director
for
the
da
vinci
academy
of
arts
and
science,
I'm
in
k-12
education
and
an
arts
administrator
in
my
former
life,
which
is
what
brought
me
to
the
commission,
but
really
just
working
in
lots
of
different
spaces
around
youth
and
advocacy
and
equity
through
the
arts-
and
this
is
my
second
year
on
the
commission.
So
I'm
no
longer
a
newbie,
but
I
was
just
one
year
ago
this
month
and
I
will
tag.
M
M
A
B
Everyone,
my
name,
is
joan
vorderbergen.
I
work
in
wards
three
and
seven.
I
have
been
on
the
commission
for
three,
I
guess
going
on
four
years.
I
think
that
may
be
right,
but
I've
lost
track
a
little
bit
and
served
as
chair
this
past
year.
B
I
wanted
to
pivot
and
I
don't
mean
to
blindside
anybody,
but
I
wanted
to
just
take
a
moment
to
share
news
that
you
may
not
be
affected
by,
but
you
may
be
affected
by,
but
nonetheless
it's
been
news
that
greatly
affected
our
arts
community
this
week,
and
I
just
want
to
give
a
moment
to
honor
our
friend
amelia
brown,
who
passed
away
last
weekend
tragically
and
unexpectedly,
and
I
want
to
just
give
an
opportunity
for
anybody
who
feels
as
if
they
want
to
share
anything
about
amelia.
B
I
know
that
this
isn't
an
easy
thing
to
do
so,
if
you're
not
feeling
up
to
doing
so,
it's
completely
okay
and
matters
not.
But
I
just
thought
that,
as
the
minneapolis
arts
commission,
that
it
was
important
for
us
to
just
take
a
moment
to
honor
an
individual
who
did
so
much
incredible
work
with
artists
in
our
community
and
who
was
such
a
warm
and
loving
and
talented
and
brilliant
individual.
I
can
say
that
I
didn't
work
closely
with
amelia
myself
on
any
any
collaborative
way
I
wish
I
had.
B
I
always
wished
I
had,
but
I
I
did
see
her
around
and
I
did
you
know,
was
very
aware
of
the
work
that
she
was
leading
and
I
know
that
she
just
did
tremendous
work
and
and
her
one
of
her
areas
of
expertise
was
to
assist
and
support
artists
during
times
of
crisis,
and
she
was
known
globally
as
someone
who
was
a
leader
in
this
area
and
did
a
lot
of
that
work
here,
but
also
in
many
places
across
the
country
and
across
the
globe.
B
So
if
anybody
would
like
to
just
say
a
few
words
to
honor
amelia
or
to
share
or
for
us
to
maybe
help
each
other
to
feel,
I
don't
know
some
some
strength
amongst
each
other.
It's
just
you
know.
I
just
want
to
open
it
up
for
a
moment
for
anyone
to
do
that
if
they,
if
they
want
to.
B
D
Yeah
this
is
hard
because
amelia
was
spectacular,
but
I
got
to
know
emilia
when
I
worked
on
the
board
for
springboard
for
the
arts
and
she
was
a
new
board
member
and
we
spent
a
couple
of
years
serving
together
and
that's
when
I
got
to
know
about
her
emergency
arts
assistance
program
and
when
I
think
about
her
tenure
at
springboard,
especially
last
year
when
she
was
the
chair
when
springboard
responded
to
the
covid
crisis
and
and
really
they
took
that
emergency
arts
idea
and
kind
of
put
it
on
steroids
and
and
pumped
a
million
dollars
out
to
artists
very
quickly
in
community.
D
D
My
cat
hit
my
mute,
but
it
it
only
happened
because
amelia
was
there
and
and
had
that
expertise
and
was
able
to
to
help
them
figure
out
how
to
make
that
work.
So,
on
the
one
hand,
I've
got
all
of
that
in
my
mind
about
all
she
did
for
artists
and
how
well
she
understood
that
the
response
to
emergency
and
crisis
in
culture
and
in
community
rests
in
artists
better
than
anybody.
D
D
And
then
I
look
at
what
she
did
working
in
the
city
of
minneapolis,
which
you
know
I
worked
for
a
time
for
hennepin
county
and
we
used
to
talk
about
how
you
know
how
challenging
it
is
to
work
within
systems
and
structures,
especially
ones
that
are
like,
grounded
in
historic,
in
historic
exclusion
in
particular,
and
how
hard
it
is
to
move
those
processes,
even
with
a
cast
of
in
well-intentioned
people
right
and
the
fact
that
she
continued
to
work
at
the
city
on
those
efforts.
D
You
never
saw
her
when
she
didn't
wrap
you
in
a
tremendous
hug
and
remember
ten
little
things
about
you.
I
never
managed
that,
but
she
like
has
you
and
she
held
you.
You
know
and
was
so
warm
and
loving
and
empathetic,
and
all
of
that
went
into
the
work
she
did.
So
I
don't
need
to
say
much
more,
except
how
how
much
I
will
miss
her
personally
and
professionally.
Her
example
and
the
pleasure
of
her
company
and
all
she
brought
on
to
our
community.
M
I
didn't
work
closely
with
her,
but
she
was,
I
think,
one
of
the
most
welcoming
people
I've
ever
met
in
my
entire
life.
I
posted
on
facebook
today
that
every
time
I
saw
her,
she
acted
like.
I
was
a
long-lost
friend
that
she
hadn't
seen
in
years
that
she
was
so
excited
to
see,
and
I
can't
think
of
anybody
who,
in
my
whole
life
who
greeted
me
with
such
enthusiasm.
I
mean
just,
and
that
was
always
so
moving.
M
I
also,
although
I
don't
know
the
details
of
the
work
that
she
did
for
the
city,
I
think
it
was
a
tremendous
asset
for
the
city
to
have
her
skills
the
last
year
as
the
city
was
trying
to
figure
out
how
to
work
with
the
arts
community
in
covid
and
the
arts
community
around
the
murder
of
george
floyd.
Because
of
her
experience
in
emergency
arts.
M
I
think
she
had
the
skills-
and
you
know
the
past
experience
in
working
with
hurricane
katrina
to
to
address
those
kinds
of
tragedies
and,
and
I'm
sure
that
we
benefited
from
it
greatly.
M
I'm
gonna
reply
or
forward
the
arts
and
economy
newsletter
from
december
to
everybody
where
amelia
was
one
of
the
staff
that
reflected
on
the
past
year,
so
that
you
can
all
read
what
she
said,
but
this
is
a
huge
loss
for
the
city
and,
what's
really
crazy
about
this,
is
the
council
just
gave
her
a
full-time
permanent
job
in
january?
M
B
Thanks
and
thanks
for
allowing
us
to
take
a
moment
to
make
time,
I'm
always
really
moved
that,
while
we
work
really
hard
as
a
group
to
try
to
accomplish
a
lot
of
business,
that
I
always
feel
that
this
particular
group
of
people
is
more
human-centered
than
some
of
the
other
groups
that
I
work
with
that
are
just
very
much
down
to
business,
and
so
I
really
appreciate
that
we
can
take
a
moment
to
be
human
with
each
other
and
and
express
how
we
feel
about.
B
B
Okay,
any
other
updates
or
anything
before
we
move
on
anyone
like
to
share
okay.
Are
there
any
corrections
for
the
minutes
for
our
december
meeting
that
tina
passed?
Okay,
then
we
will
advance
to
our
discussion
portion
of
our
agenda
and
mary.
I
am
going
to
hand
you
the
floor
and
I'm
going
to
ask
if
it's
possible
your.
M
A
L
M
You
have
on
your
agenda
a
couple
of
artwork
designs
to
approve
for
the
second
floor,
for
the
new
public
service
building
for
the
new
commissioners.
The
city
is
in
the
process
of
building
a
new
building
that
will
be
merging
city
staff
from
seven
different
buildings,
the
buildings
across
the
street
from
the
government
center,
and
it's
not
yet
open
to
the
public,
but
it
houses
a
range
of
city
departments
and
the
public
service
center,
which
is
the
area
where
you
get
all
of
your
permits.
M
Pay
all
of
your
city
related
bills,
get
any
kind
of
help
you
need,
and
this
building
has
a
two
million
dollar
public
art
budget
with
17
artworks,
most
of
which
the
commission,
the
commission,
designed
or
approved
the
designs
for
those
artworks
quite
a
while
ago.
But
we
have
a
couple
of
new
artworks
that
we're
installing
and
I'll
explain
why
in
a
second?
And
so
I'm
as
part
of
this,
because
these
are
on
the
second
floor,
I'm
going
to
actually
start
out
by
just
talking
about
all
of
the
art.
M
So
this
is
the
second
floor
which
is
open
to
the
public
of
the
public
service
center,
the
public
service
or
the
public
service
building
the
public
service
center.
The
area
I
just
talked
about
is
here
travels
through
here
travels
through
here's.
M
The
main
part
of
the
second
floor
is
this
area:
that's
open
to
the
public,
where
there
are
new
service
representatives
who
are
being
trained,
who
are
extra
friendly
and
helpful
and
are
and
there's
a
new
program
really
designed
to
make
getting
these
services
from
the
city
a
lot
easier
than
they
have
been
in
the
past.
This
is
on
the
skyway
on
actually
a
couple
few
skyways,
and
so
a
lot
of
people
will
be
accessing
this
on
the
through
the
skyway
and
that's
why
it's
on
the
skyway
level.
M
Two
of
those
artworks
actually
span
kind
of
the
first
and
second
levels,
so
the
main
work
which
I'll
show
you
in
a
few
minutes
I'll
show
you
some
more
pictures
of
it.
But
the
suspended
lobby
sculpture
is
over
the
stairs
that
go
from
the
first
sec
first
floor
to
the
mezzanine
and
then
up
to
the
second
floor.
M
The
city
seal
starts
on
the
first
floor,
and
the
sky
bridge
goes
across
the
front
of
it
and
so
that
you
can
view
the
top
of
the
city
seal
from
the
suspension
bridge
right
here
and
then
another
artwork
that
you've
already
approved
is
there's
this
bird
safe
glass
designed
by
futures
north,
which
will
be
on
both
sides
of
the
skyway
to
the
government
center,
as
well
as
travel
along
the
south
side
of
the
building
on
the
interior,
skyway.
M
So
and
so
those
are
all
of
the
pieces,
and
so
they
kind
of
form
a
little
collection
on
the
second
floor,
which
will
probably
be
the
floor
where
the
public
spends
the
most
time
in
the
building.
M
So
this
is
the
sky
bridge
that
I
just
spoke
of
so
the
artworks
that
we
are
adding.
We
are
adding
on
the
sky
bridge
because
there
are
actually
employee
offices
adjacent
to
the
sky
bridge.
The
city
originally
commissioned
frosted
glass
for
those
windows
and
the
window
material
showed
up
and
it
wasn't
frosted.
M
So
this
is
the
skyway
on
the
west
side
or
the
sky
bridge.
This
is
the
old,
thriving
building
here,
if
you
take
a
right
here,
you
go
to
the
government
center
and
you
take
a
left.
You
go
to
the
new
thrive
and
building
oops.
Sorry
and
then
this
side
is
that's
same
side
over
here
and
then
those
windows
are
also
on
this
side,
which
is
the
south
side
of
the
building
and
that's
the
skyway
that
goes
to
the
thrive
and
building.
So
there
are
total
of
13
windows.
M
The
windows
on
the
west
side
are
surrounded
by
this
beautiful
stone
and
then
the
windows
on
the
south
side
are
a
painted,
sheetrock,
gray,
light
gray,
painted
sheetrock
and
the
floor.
Condition
on
the
south
side
is
terrazzo
or
on
the
west
side
is
terrazzo
and
the
floor.
Condition
on
the
south
side
is
actually
now
gray
carpet.
M
So
in
this
skyway.
This
is
this
on.
The
right
are,
the
windows
that
are
going
to
have
the
bird
safe
glass
design
and
on
the
left
are
the
windows
that
will
have
the
new
design
so
because
of
the
connection
between
the
bird,
safe
glass
design
and
the
windows
design.
We
asked
futures
north
to
just
expand
their
palette
in
the
building
or
canvas
in
the
building
and
to
also
design
these
windows
here,
oh
also,
so
this
is
gives
you
a
view
of
the
windows
from
the
interior
or
the
employee
side.
M
M
The
ones
on
the
south,
you
can
see
all
in
one
room
and
we've
selected
artist,
marlena
miles
for
that.
She's
also
was
already
on
under
contract
and
doing
another
mural
in
the
building,
and
so
and
actually
in
this
part
of
the
building.
You
can
see
marlena's
six
windows
and
future
three
of
futures,
north's
windows,
so
in
the
same
office,
so
it
was
really
important
that
they
work
together
and
develop
a
design
that
complemented
each
other.
M
So
since
we
have
new
commissioners,
I'm
just
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
process,
we're
doing
this
process
in
other
parts
of
the
building.
We
are
having
artists,
design,
murals
that
are
applied
to
the
glass
with
a
vinyl
material,
and
it
is
a
two
layer.
Printing
process
which
is
like
for
these.
Artists
is
like
a
totally
new
medium
in
terms
of
working.
M
M
M
M
That
marlene
is
designing,
but
if
a
seven
foot
tall
person
stood
next
to
these,
you
would
really
need
pretty
good
opacity
about
half
way
up
in
order
to
give
the
employees
privacy
so
futures
north
has
designed
a
piece
I'm
going
to
show
you
their
design
first
and
it's
called
lines
of
acknowledgement.
It
connects
to
the
piece
that
I
showed
you
the
design
for
earlier
for
the
skyway,
which
is
called
lines
of
flight
human
lines
of
flight.
M
Human
is
really
about
human
immigration
and
lines
of
acknowledgement
is
about
connects
to
the
indigenous
place
names
in
the
city.
So
it's
trying
to
you
know
indigenous
folks
are
really
the
folks
that
didn't
migrate,
and
so
it's
a
nice
complimentary
piece
in
terms
of
that
content.
It
also
has
they
also
laid
over
their
design.
You'll
see
this
in
a
second
an
image
of
the
mississippi
river.
M
The
way
that
futures
north
works
is
they
create
a
code,
so
they
turn
information
into
a
coding
system
that
creates
an
abstract
pattern,
so
they
took
data
related
to
indigenous
place.
Names
turned
it
into
a
code
and
created
this
abstract
pattern
and
then
laid
the
river
over
it.
You
can
see
in
this
design.
The
white
represents
more
opacity
and
the
upper
layer
or
the
upper
area,
which
is
gray.
The
gray
represents
a
clear
glass
they
have.
M
So
this
is
the
prototype
on
the
skyway
side
and
you
can
see
that
on
the
skyway
side,
the
color
stands
out
more,
whereas
on
the
employee
side,
which
in
the
copy
room,
the
white
layer
is
more
apparent
and
the
reason
that
they
did,
that
is
because
you
know
the
the
thought
was
that
the
employees
probably
want
something
more
neutral
in
their
space
on
a
daily
basis,
and
so
marlena
and
futures
north
decided
to
put
the
white
layer
on
the
employee
side,
and
this
is
a
close-up.
M
You
can
kind
of
see
how
the
color
is
poking
through
here.
You
can
also
see
on
the
copy
room
side
that
there's
a
good
deal
of
light
coming
through
even
on
the
lower
layer.
I
think
that's
about
40
percent
transparency
on
the
lower
layer
and
that
it
gives
them
privacy,
but
at
the
same
time
the
public
can't
see
in
on
the
lower
layer.
M
So
that's
futures,
north's
design
marlena
miles,
has
created
a
design
that,
I
think,
is
a
fabulous
counter
to
the
city
seal
which,
if
you're
not
familiar
with
the
city
seal
the
city
seal,
is
a
european-american
vision
of
the
city
of
minneapolis
and
in
the
area
of
saint
anthony,
falls
from
around
the
time
of
1878,
and
it's
a
really
fabulous
and
interesting
artifact.
M
But
it
also
represents
for
some
people,
particularly
indigenous
people,
the
colonization
of
america
and
so
and
of
this
region,
and
so
marlena
chose
to
create
a
piece
that
is
in
a
way
a
counter
to
that,
and
instead
of
talking
about
european
american
values.
M
These
are
marlena's
designs.
She
was
really
she
really
liked
the
idea
of
doing
something
that
had
a
the
feeling
of
stained
glass,
which
is
kind
of
a
nod
to
city
hall,
which
is
the
city's
other
civic
building
and
also
had
a
kind
of
a
deco
feeling,
but
then
again
focused
on
these
indigenous
values,
and
I
think
in
a
second
I'm
going
to
get
out
of
the
powerpoint
and
zoom
in
on
one
of
these,
so
that
you
can
really
see
the
details.
M
I
think
they
will
give
the
public
a
lot
to
look
at
over
a
long
period
of
time
oops.
So
we
actually
prototyped
this
in
the
space
this
morning
you
can
see.
Marlena's
drawings
are
super
vibrant,
but
the
prototype
itself
is,
you
know,
less
vibrant
and
that's
because
of
the
transparency,
so
that
was
intentional
on
her
part,
you
can
see
in
the
center.
You
can
kind
of
see
some
of
the
detail.
M
I
took
those
pictures
in
the
lower
area,
so
you
can
kind
of
see
the
opacity
this
has
an
eagle
form
in
it,
and
the
detail
actually
shows
part
of
the
eagle's
nest
and
the
eggs
in
the
eagle's
nest,
and
so
the
the
photo
on
the
far
left
is,
of
course,
from
the
sky
bridge
and
the
photo
on
the
far
right
is
the
photo
on
the
employee
side.
So
you
can
see
that
the
tones
are
much
more
muted
with
the
white
I
just
want.
M
And
then,
if
you
look
down
the
skyway
east,
you
will
see
how
it
features.
North's
two
pieces
come
together
there,
so
that
just
gives
you
a
kind
of
a
sense
of
how
all
of
this
is
curated
and
what
the
artists
were
thinking
in
terms
of
oops.
Sorry
how
the
pieces
would
work
together,
I'm
going
to
get
out
of
this
and.
D
Mary,
this
is
lisa,
I'm
I
know.
Can
you
maybe
remind
the
group
what
marina's
other
work
at
the
service
center
is
and
the
and
and
your
process
for
then
selecting
her
for
this
additional
opportunity.
L
M
So
so,
both
marlena
was
selected
through
a
process
where
we
selected
five
different
artists
to
do
five
different
vinyl
murals
on
glass
in
areas
on
the
upper
floors
of
the
building.
She
is
has
a
mural
that.
M
Focuses
on
the
dakota
relationship
to
the
area
around
saint
anthony
falls
that
actually
spans
two
conference
room
windows.
All
of
those
artists
were
selected
through
an
open
call
and
futures
north
was
also
selected
through
an
open
call.
We
did
not
do
an
open
call
for
these
projects.
We
just
decided
to
expand
the
contracts
of
artists
currently
working
in
the
building,
because
we
were
under
a
really
tight
timeline
and
we
need
to
cover
these
windows
before
the
skyway
opens
to
the
public
to
give
the
employees
the
privacy.
M
So
basically
the
staff
working
on
this
project
decided,
I
mean
futurist
north.
It
was
pretty
obvious
that
they
were
just
right
across
from
the
space
and
they
were
already
working
on
both
sides
of
the
skyway
going
into
the
government
center.
M
So
it
made
sense
to
get
them
both
sides
of
the
skyway
in
the
interior,
since
they
were
already
there
and
we
selected
marlena,
because
we
thought
it
would
be
really
good
to
have
a
native
perspective
adjacent
to
the
seal
and
we
also
did
have
actually
another
native
american
artist
working
on
one
of
the
murals
for
another
floor.
Angela,
two
stars.
M
F
This
is
commissioner,
henry,
I
understand
if
futures
north
came
before
the
you
know
the
the
gift,
I
guess
within
the
interior
windows,
but
in
my
mind
I'm
surprised
that
the
native
american
artwork
is
not
what
is
on
the
street
and
that
the
you
know
that
basically,
the
residential
artist
isn't
who's
on
the
outside
of
the
building.
M
So
futures
north
just
to
clarify
they
are
not
on
the
outside
of
the
building
they're
on
the
inside
of
the
building
on
a
skyway,
oh,
you
mean,
oh,
the,
so
just.
M
Right
and
actually
so
just
to
clarify
the
way
this
bird,
safe,
glass
design
works
the
further
apart.
You
are
from
the
design,
the
less
you
can
actually
see.
You
can
see
it
from
the
street,
but
the
further
apart
you
are
you.
I
mean
it's
it's
much
more
transparent
because
it's
it's
it's
just
white
dots
and
dashes,
so
they
were
selected
through
a
call
for
artists
to
do
the
skyway.
F
M
So
marlena
was
selected
through
a
call
for
artists
to
do
interior
work.
So
this
the
the
skyway
design
they've
been
under
contract
for
a
couple
of
years
to
do
that,
as
well
as
the
bird
safe
glass
design
on
the
10th
floor.
B
I've
got
a
question
mary.
I
know
that
you
have
been
working
so
hard
on
this
project
for
so
long
and
a
lot
of
it's
really
coming
now
to
fruition.
B
And
if
you
don't
have
an
answer
to
this,
it's
totally
okay,
because
I
recognize
that,
like
you've
got
to
get
the
work
up.
But
I
know
that
because
they're,
what
were
the
total
amount
of
artworks
that
are
going
to
be
in
the
new
building?
Again.
M
B
It's
still
a
kind
of
a
point
of
interest
in
an
object
and
yeah.
It's
just
you
know.
I
think
we've
talked
about
this
over
the
course
of
time
and
as
all
these
projects,
progress
that,
like
how
rich
the
storytelling
is
and
the
the
stories
about
the
artists
and
the
work
that
they
made
and
how
it's
connected
to
the
community
into
the
region
and
there's
so
much
so
much
to
say
about
every
single
one
of
these
projects.
B
M
So
there's
we're
working
on
kind
of
layers
of
that,
so
each
work
has
an
explanatory
plaque,
so
there's
something
there.
The
the
website
will
have
even
more
detailed
information.
We
actually
are.
We've
been
working
on
a
series
of
skype
interviews
with
city
employees
who
are
going
to
be
working
in
the
building
and
the
artists
and
the
employees
are
interviewing
the
artists
and
those
will
be
made
available
to
the
public
and
we've
been
sharing
those
with
the
city
employees
as
a
way
to
get
them
excited
about.
Coming
to
the
building.
M
Many
of
the
artists
interviewed
employees
to
get
ready
for
the
project.
We
will
probably
do
some
sort
of
video,
we'll
also
probably
do
some
sort
of
once
we
are
able
to
do
it.
We
will
probably
do
some
artist
talks
in
the
space
as
well,
so
we
were
having
kind
of
layers
of
material
out
there
and
you
know,
especially
given
the
fact
that
so
many
people
that
are
in
the
building
are
gonna,
be
some.
The
employees
will
be
there
every
day
right
and
looking
at
these
works
for
some
employees
to
get
the
city
for
decades.
M
M
M
Yeah-
and
you
know
we
will
do
some
fabulous
events
when
we
are
able
to
many
of
the
works,
as
you
know,
are
programmable
and
so
they're
like
there's
something
to
see.
Actually
that's
the
next
step,
I'm
going
to
actually
give
you
an
update
on
what's
going
up,
but
so
I
I
think
we
need
some
sort
of
event,
there's
so
many
artists
right
now.
We
can't
even
bring
the
artists
together
to
celebrate
because
there's
so
many
of
them
we'd
be
violating
right
right.
B
B
Okay?
Can
I
get
it
so?
The
motion
is
to
approve
the
second
floor:
artist,
design,
class,
the
futures,
north
design
and
the
marlena
miles
design.
Can
we
get
a
recommendation
to
approve
both
of
those
projects
for
the
the
new
public
service
building.
I
B
L
E
B
Aye
great
that
motion
passes.
Thank
you
and
thank
you
mary
for
bringing
that
to
us
this
evening.
It
was
really
nice
to
be
able
to
hear
more
background
about
this
work.
It's
very
beautiful
and
it's
exciting
that
it's
coming
coming
together.
So,
okay.
B
Apologies
yeah
and
if
you
don't
mind,
we'll
need
for
this
to
be
pretty
efficient.
But
please
do
that.
M
This
is
really
short,
so
so
they're
new
commissioners,
so
you're
probably
not
familiar
with
all
the
breadth
of
work
and
then
that's
going
in
the
new
building,
but
this
was
a
piece
as
a
suspended
sculpture
over
the
great
stairs
going
up
to
to
the
public
service
building.
This
is
a
work
created
by
tristan
alhad
from
atlanta
georgia.
M
It
is
a
programmable
moving
sculpture
that
includes
programmable
lights,
that
change
colors.
It
is
called
current
conditions.
It's
based
on
it's
a
an
artwork
that
focuses
on
climate
and
and
in
particular,
temperature
changes
in
temperature
and
humidity,
and
this
piece
will
move
according
to
changes
in
temperature
and
humidity
in
the
city,
and
it
moves
three
times
a
day
and
moves,
and
then
also
there
is
changing
kind
of
a
light
program
that
goes
with
the
movement,
so
we'll
change
three
times
a
day.
It
can
take.
M
It's
made
up
of
these
things
that
we're
calling
the
orbitals
like
approximately
3
000,
acrylic
orbitals
that
are
strung
together
and
they
they
move
from
side
to
side
it.
This
is
kind
of
like
a
vault-like
form
that
the
orbitals
take
when
the
piece
is
the
most
retracted
retracted.
Maybe
the
opposite
of
protect
retracted
is
what
I
should
say,
but
they
form
all
kinds
of
different,
really
cool
shapes.
You
can
see
this
really
great
view
from
the
exterior
of
the
building.
M
It
can
create
some
pretty
dramatic
views
of
the
building
at
night
and
will,
I
think,
really
draw
attention
to
the
building
and
will
be
a
great
asset
to
this
part
of
downtown.
Another
collection
of
works.
That's
going
on
in
the
building
is
a
series
of
illuminated
ceilings
in
the
elevator
lobbies
on
seven
of
the
floors,
and
so
these
installations
are
going
in
right
now.
The
light
programs
are
not
done,
but
so
I
just
wanted
to
give
give
you
a
sense
of
the
range
of
the
projects.
M
This
work
doesn't
have
any
lighting
on
it
right
now,
so
you're
not
getting
the
full
sense
of
what
it
will
look
like.
This
is
the
fifth
floor,
which
is
where
the
health
department
is,
and
it's
a
work
by
lori
boar
grave.
This
is
also
not
lit
up
at
this
point,
but
it's
made
up
of
hundreds
and
hundreds
of
piece
of
a
little
acrylic
sculptures
that
she
hand
pours
and
forms
herself.
M
This
piece
also
actually
includes
some
sound
and
it
has
three
different
beautiful
lighting
programs.
I
can't
wait
to
show
you
guys
this
work
so
anyways.
I
just
wanted
to
give
you
an
update.
M
The
murals
are
starting
to
go
in
next
week,
and
so
I
might
have
to
give
you
all
private
tours
for
a
while,
but
I'd
be
happy
to
do
that.
It's
really
exciting
to
have
all
of
these
artists.
Creating
this
great
work
and
it's
exciting
that
the
civic
is
the
city
is
showcasing
the
work
of
local
artists
in
the
space.
B
F
I
do
have
one
I'm
grateful
for
the
city
minneapolis
and
what
obviously
we're
here
for
the
city
also,
but
I
do
hope
to
see
more
public
art.
You
know
that
the
residents
can
see
and
enjoy
and
absorb
on
a
day-to-day.
So.
M
Ready
to
do
calls
for
for
many
different
projects
now
that
the
building
is
done,
and
we
we
have
a
lot
of
money
to
spend,
so
we're
going
to
be
doing
a
lot
of
projects
in
the
neighborhoods.
Now.
E
B
Awesome:
okay,
thank
you.
We'll
move
on
to
our
executive
committee
updates.
First
just
want
to
welcome
our
new
commissioners,
commissioner
murray
mansfield
and
commissioner
jeff
swinton.
I
know
the
formalities
will
be
attended
to
come
february,
but
welcome-
and
I
wanted
to
give
you
each
just
a
chance
to
say
hello
and
if
you
want
to
share
a
few
words
about
why
you
were
interested
in
coming
on
you're
welcome
to
I'm
putting
you
on
the
spot.
B
So
if
you
would
rather
not
it's
okay,
but
I'd
like
to
give
you
a
moment
to
say
hello
to
everyone
and
share
a
few
words
if
you
wish.
G
I'll
go
first,
once
again,
jeff
swinton
really
excited
to
be
on
the
arts,
commission.
I
I
just
think
that
arts
is
so
powerful
and
is
what's
really
really
important
in
times
like
this
right,
I
mean,
I
think
it's
always
important,
but
I
think
it's
it
magnifies
in
times
like
this
and
not
coming
from
an
art
background.
It's
just
I
do
some.
You
know
art
enthusiasts.
I
do
some
collecting,
but
not
coming
from
my
art
background.
G
I
recognize
how,
because
I'm
not
in
that
world
all
the
time
how
powerful
it
is
right
and
how,
whether
I'm
in
my
house,
where
that
you
know
I'm
in
public
spaces,
how
I
notice
it
how
it
changes
your
mood
and
just
just
the
day-to-day
as
just
kind
of
a
lay
person
as
a
you
know,
as
an
ordinary
joe,
I
I
just
think
it's
important.
G
So
when
I,
when
I
saw
that
there
was
opportunities
to
join
the
board,
you
know
I
jumped
at
it
leaped
at
it,
because
I
think
there
is
just
you
know.
What
I
think
I
could
bring
is
that
you
know
just
a
different
perspective.
G
I
am
in
corporate
america
so
that
you
have
to
bear
with
me
on
that,
but
but
just
a
passion
just
put
in
work
and
just
where,
wherever
the
work
is
needed,
you
know
I'll
raise
my
hand
and
I'm
and
and
want
to
put
in
work
and
want
to
learn
from
you
from
you
guys.
So
that's
it
for
me.
B
That's
awesome,
thank
you
so
much,
and
I
wanted
to
mention
this
about
you
too,
mr
swinton,
that
you
have
some
history
in
your
background
with
youth
work
as
well.
Am
I
right
about
that
with
the
stem
work
and
some
of
the
things
you've
done
in
nor
over
north.
G
Yeah
yeah,
so
yeah,
I'm
on
a
couple
of
foundations
and
my
fraternity
does
a
lot
with
with
youth,
and
you
know
when
we
try
to
focus
on
on
north,
minneapolis
and
and
and
the
foundation
is
a
grant
found
producing
foundation
so
yeah
it's
you
know
how
to
you
know
how
do
we
you
know?
G
How
do
we
be
more
inclusive,
like
I
think
you
guys
you
know
are
trying
to
do.
How
do
we
get?
You
know
people
of
color
blacks,
more
involved
in
the
process.
You
know
early
on
understanding.
You
know
when
the
calls
are
what's
needed.
Making
sure
folks
are,
are
prepared
and
and
can
show
up
very
well
when,
when
mary
you
know
has
you
know,
opportunities
that
are
coming
up,
I
think
that's
going
to
be.
You
know
a
very
important
and
I
I
hope
to
help
there.
B
You
are
in
good
company.
Does
anybody
have
any
questions
or
comments
for
mr
swinton?
Okay?
Thank
you,
commissioner.
Mari
mansfield.
Do
you
want
to
say
hello
to
everyone
and
say
a
few
words.
H
Yeah
sure
hi
everyone,
my
name,
is
mari.
I've
been
a
minneapolis
resident
for
most
of
my
life,
I'm
also
a
visual
artist.
H
My
what
I'm
most
recognized
for
is
my
work
at
george
floyd
square
painting,
the
names
of
169
people
killed
by
the
police
in
the
united
states,
I'm
also
an
educator
and
an
activist
I
currently
am
a
native
american
education
tutor
for
the
elk
river
school
district
and
I'm
very
excited
as
a
latina
indigenous
woman
to
try
and
help
bring
art
to
the
communities
of
minneapolis
and
really
embrace
all
of
our
amazing
cultural
differences.
Here
in
minneapolis,
I'm
really
excited
to
get
started
and
be
here
with
you
all.
B
F
Henry
I
want
to
thank
you
so
much
for
joining
us.
I
didn't
get
an
opportunity
to
sit
with
you
before
this
meeting
tonight
and
I'm
I'm
very
grateful
to
have
you
a
part
of
the
minneapolis
arts
commission.
B
Thank
you
great
and
we're
going
to
have
much
more
time
to
work
together
and
figure
out
where
strengths
and
abilities
can
be
helpful,
but
it's
really
nice
to
just
know
a
little
bit
about
your
backgrounds
and
some
of
your
passions
and
interests.
I
think
that's
inspiring,
as
we
start
a
new
year
to
get
some
new
people
that
have
some
new
skills.
B
B
However,
I
think
the
executive
committee
is
a
really
important
body
right
now
as
we're
navigating
some
some
tensions
and
some
asks
of
our
elected
and
some
you
know
the
letters
that
we
will
be
talking
about
in
just
a
moment,
and
I
think
it's
a
really
interesting
time.
B
I
personally
feel
like
our
2021
work
plan
that
we're
going
to
talk
about
too
in
just
a
moment
is
really
open
right
now,
and
I
think
that
we,
you
know
it's
time
for
us
to
really
think
about
prioritizing
what
it
is
that
we
wish
to
accomplish.
B
Given
the
circumstances
that
we're
more
aware
of
than
we
were
a
year
ago,
right
like
we
didn't
exactly
know
how
we
fit
or
where
we
fit,
and
I
feel
like
we
in
some
ways
know
a
little
bit
more
about
where
we
fit
and
know
a
little
bit
more
about
some
of
the
challenges.
It's
just
a
little
clearer.
B
So
it's
a
it's
a
really
good.
It's
a
hard
time
to
lead,
and
I
think
that
that's
true
for
any
group
of
people,
especially
a
civic
group,
it's
challenging
and
I
think,
there's
a
lot
there's
also.
I
totally
appreciate
that,
there's,
probably
quite
a
bit
of
fatigue
happening
for
everybody
on
some
level,
a
lot
of
us
have
been
zooming
for
months.
You
know
many
of
us
have
families
that
we're
caring
for
and
no
matter
what
it
is
that
you're
doing
to
get
through
the
pandemic.
B
It's
taxing
on
all
of
us
for
different
reasons,
so
I
guess
I
just
want
to
appreciate
that
the
top
volunteerism
aspect
of
our
our
group
is
presents
a
barrier.
B
B
I
know
I've
put
that
up
before
and
when
I
say
that
I
also
would
like
to
just
say
that
if
anybody
were
interested
in
the
chair
position
that
I
would
be
of
great
support
to
you
too,
so
just
know
that
if
it's
something
that
you
wish
to
rise
to
the
challenge
of
cheering
the
arts,
commission,
that
the
door
is
open
and
you
would
get
support,
and
even
if
that
means
getting
on
the
executive
committee
for
a
while
and
like
you
know,
sort
of
feeling
that
that
sort
of
that
work
flow
out
and
deciding
later.
B
I
just
want
to
put
it
out
there
that
this
particular
position
should
change
not
like
constantly
all
the
time
or
people
resigning
early.
Hopefully,
but
like
you
know
that
we
should,
we
should
see
some
changes
in
our
leadership,
so
I
want
to
just
encourage
anybody,
who's
interested
to
consider
a
seat
on
executive.
B
We
agenda
set,
and
we
also
a
lot
of
times
we'll
just
get
in
deep
dialogue,
sometimes
with
staff
in
particular
that
we
need
to
talk
to
about
things
we
set.
I
think
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
the
goals
and
a
lot
of
the
kind
of
the
focus
for
the
rest
of
the
commission
in
ways.
So
it's
a
pretty
interesting
group,
commissioner.
Henry
do
you
want
to
mention
anything
about
executive
seats.
F
I
do,
I
think
it's
the
best
way
to
provide
innovative
ideas
and
to
really
hear
upfront
what's
going
on
in
the
background
before,
obviously
our
general
meeting
or
our
sessions
here
monthly.
F
So
it
gives
us
more
time,
as
joan
mentioned,
to
dialogue
and
to
communicate
and
to
you
know,
think
constructively,
but
but
then
also
abstractly
about
what
we
want
and
how
we
can
get
it,
and
usually
that
takes
more
than
one
person.
You
know
to
jump
off
ideas
of
one
another
and
that's
you
know
so
it
takes
teamwork.
And
so
this
is
it's
not
a
solo
situation
at
all.
I
there
is
tons
of
support
and
I
feel
that
yeah,
if
you
have
a
voice
executive
committee,
is
the
best
place
to
be.
B
And
I
also
feel
that,
with
the
size
of
our
commission
right
now
and
the
number
of
vacancies
that
we
may
continue
to
have
that
we
may
not
be
we
may
we
may
I
don't
want
anyone
to
get
disappointed,
but
we
may
choose
not
to
divide
into
so
many
subcommittees
at
this
moment,
because
we're
just
such
a
we're
kind
of
we're
just
down
people
and
so
executive
might
actually
be
the
place
where
we
invest
a
lot
of
our
muscle.
B
So
that's
just
something
to
consider
too.
There
are
six
seats
that
are
available,
I'm
gonna,
let
that's
the
chair
position.
The
vice
chair
position,
the
secretary
position
and
then
we
can
have
three
commissioners
that
will
be
commissioners
at
large,
so
up
to
six
seats
on
exec,
but
definitely
need
the
three.
The
three
positions
chair
vice
chair
and
secretary
so
anyway,
so
I'm
gonna,
maybe
share
the
document
that
tina
gave.
You
all
will
be
allowed
to
vote.
B
I
think
at
this
moment
in
time
I
sit
as
chair.
Commissioner.
Henry
sits
its
vice
chair.
The
secretary
position
is
open
with
commissioner
benson
rolling
off
commissioner
midaig
serves
at
large
commissioner
ellsworth
serves
at
large
and
commissioner
bedbury
is,
has
been
nominated
or
is
nominating
to
be
to
join
exec.
B
So
I'm
not
sure,
commissioner
bedberry,
if
there's
a
specific
position
that
you're
interested
in-
and
we
can
talk
offline
about
that
too,
but
so
that's
kind
of
the
slate
that
we
have
today.
So
if
you're
interested
maybe
tina,
do
you
want
to
chime
in
and
kind
of
just
talk
about
process
and
I'll
share?
My
screen
really
quick
sure.
A
So
there's
a
forum
that
jones
going
to
share
and
basically,
if
you
are
interested,
even
if
you
are
currently
serving
you,
have
to
re-apply
or
or
nominate
yourself.
So
so
you
would
just
write
in
the
name,
your
name
of
whatever
position
you
would
like
to
serve
on
as
a
at
large
secretary
vice
chair
or
chair,
and
then
you
would
give
that
info.
Actually,
you
don't
even
need
to
write
it
out
here.
A
Just
email
me
which
position
you
would
like
in
your
name
and
then
I'm
going
to
put
together
this
form
and
then
I'll
send
it
around.
Once
we
get
well
I'll,
have
a
deadline
and
I'll
send
this
around,
and
then
you
guys
would
vote
you
know
who
you'd
like
if,
if
you're,
okay
with
whoever
there's
only
one
person
that
put
their
name
as
chair,
you
know
you
can
that's
probably
going
to
be
the
person.
That's
going
to
take
that
position.
A
If
you
have
a
preference,
if
there's
two
or
more
names,
then
you
would
just
select
the
person
you
would
like
and
then
I'll
send
out
a
final
ballot.
And
then
you
would
vote
on
that
at
the
february
meeting
and
then
those
would
be
the
people
that
would
fill
those
positions
for
one
year
and
so
hopefully
that
makes
sense
to
everyone.
Let
me
know
if
you
have
any
questions
about
what
I
just
said.
B
So
yeah,
it's
just
summarizing
tina,
will
send
an
email
with
a
deadline
of
when
you
need
to
just
submit
to
her
your
your
vote
for
chair
vice
chair
secretary
and
any
commissioners
at
large,
so
who
you
want
to
see
in
those
roles
as
well
as
if
you
would
like
to
see
yourself
in
one
of
those
roles.
So
it's
kind
of
a
two-part
thing.
Commissioner,
henry.
F
Hi,
yes,
so
this
is
a
conversation
I
was
not
about
to
bring
up
to
this
january
meeting,
but
I
am
relocating,
so
I
will
be
leaving
in
the
spring
from
minnesota
the
first
time,
birds
leaving
the
nest
it's
time
to
go,
you
know,
and
unfortunately
this
means
my
term
is
ending
early.
You
know
I
just
signed
on
last
year
that,
unfortunately,
you
know
I'm
leaving
my
family
there's
tons
of
you
know
parts
to
this,
and
so
with
that
being
said,
I
was
holding
off
because
in
my
mind,
I'm
like
we
have
it
taken
care
of.
F
F
So
I
do
want
you
to
keep
in
mind
that
putting
my
name
there
is
is
wonderful,
but
I
will
be
stepping
away
in
a
couple
of
months,
if
not
later,
but
either
way,
it's
best
that
you
know
now
being
that
the
voting
is
is
about
to
begin.
D
Such
an
extraordinary
loss,
he
will
be
to
us
janae,
I'm
so
happy
for
you,
but
I
I
you
are
god.
I
don't
know
how
we're
gonna
manage
that
without
you
and
from
my
money
for
as
long
as
we've
got
you
I'd
like
you
in
as
large
a
leadership
role
as
as
you
want
for
as
long
as
you
can
and
even
as
a
transition.
I
think
it
would
be
good
and
assuming
there's
a
longer
conversation
that
has
to
happen
around
the
recruiting
piece.
D
F
B
I'm
teasing,
you
know
what
commissioner
henry.
I
know,
I'm
sorry
that
I
know
I
was
aware
of
this
and
have
been
honoring
janae's
wish
to
not
make
it
into
a
big
spectacle,
so
I
will
do
so,
but
I
want
to
just
affirm
what
lisa
just
said
and
that,
as
long
as
you
are
willing
to
be
here
and
able
before
you
move
on
to
pursue
your
dreams,
we
will
very
gratefully
have
you
in
your
leadership
position,
but
certainly
that's
your
decision
to
make
so
yeah.
B
I'm
sorry,
you
guys
and
same
goes
for
you,
commissioner
midaig.
I
know
that
you
probably
feel
like
you've
been
sort
of
have
having
had
to
do
this
as
an
elder
statesman
on
our
commitment,
I'm
like
that
old.
B
But
we
love
it
you're
very
wise.
You
have
a
lot
of
historic
continuum
and
you
know
so
much
about
policy
and
about
so
like
I
just
I
can't.
I
don't
want
to
underscore
that.
Like
yeah,
I
get
it.
I
want
new
people
too,
but
it's
it's
valuable
to
have
a
knowledgeable
person
that
isn't
brand
new
that
so
many
of
us
are
any
other
comments
or
questions
certainly
reach
out
to
me.
You
are
super
welcome
to
reach
out
to
me
anytime.
B
If
you
want
to
talk
about
it,
if
you're
unsure
whatever
but
any
other
comments
or
questions
this
evening,
does
anybody
want
to
throw
their
hat
in
the
ring
while
we're
together?
B
Okay,
okay,
fair
enough?
Oh
thank
you
very
much
and
tina.
Thank
you
for
helping
us
with
the
process
and
supporting
us
to
be
able
to
kind
of
you
know
get
through
this
with
ease
so
great
okay,
we
can
move
on.
We,
the
executive
committee,
decided
to
suspend
the
january
retreat
for
what
I
feel
are
obvious
reasons,
but
I
just
wanted
to
like
tell
you
all
this,
because
we've
been
talking
about
it
for
some
time.
We
took
some
big
actions
in
december
and
we're
going
to
talk
about.
B
You
know
what
what's
come
of
that,
but
it's
just
been
kind
of
a
hold
your
breath
kind
of
position
to
be
in,
and
it's
really
hard
to
focus
on
what
our
priorities
will
be
at
the
moment,
because
we've
made
some
pretty
big
asks
that
will,
I
think
you
know,
whatever
way
they
shake
out
are
gonna
affect
the
way
we
think
about
our
work
and
what
we
want
to
focus
on
moving
forward.
B
So
that's,
I
hope,
I'm
articulating
that
okay,
also
just
recognizing
that
a
lot
of
commissioners
have
said
in
various
conversations
that
they're
very
stretched
for
capacity
and
that
a
lot
of
people's
professional
lives
and
personal
lives
are
just
asking
for
a
lot
from
them
and
that
we
don't
want
to
put
one
more
thing
on
anybody's
calendar
unless
it
has
like
really
clear
focus
and
intent,
and
it's
a
strategically
good
use
of
our
time.
So
we're
just
gonna
push
pause
on
the
retreat
for
now.
Does
anybody
wanna
add
anything?
Have
any
questions
about
that?
B
Okay.
Thank
you.
Next
item
are
letters
to
the
audit
committee
in
the
department
of
civil
rights.
I
think
I
will
start
by
saying
we
sent
the
letter
latina
beach
sent
it
on
our
behalf,
janae
and
I
authored
emails
to
accompany
our
letters
to
52
staff
and
elected
at
the
city,
both
our
letter
to
the
audit
committee
as
well
as
our
letter
to
the
interim
director
of
the
department
of
civil
rights.
B
We
received
one
response
from
the
interim
director
of
the
department
of
civil
rights
and
I'm
going
to
let
commissioner
henry
give
that
update.
In
a
moment.
We've
received
no
response
from
anyone
else.
We
tina
did
reach
out
to
the
audit
committee's
clerk
to
ask
them
if
they
received
our
letter
to
get
like
a
receipt
of
confirmation.
You
know
confirmation
that,
like
it
was
received
and
that
clerk
did
a
response
saying
that,
yes,
the
audit
committee
chair
did
receive
the
letter
and
the
internal
audit
committee
lead.
B
I'm
not
sure
what
that
person's
position
or
title
is,
has
also
received
it
and
been
made
aware
of
it.
So
we
got
confirmation
of
receipt,
but
that's
it
for
now,
so
that
is
of
great
concern.
B
Their
meeting
is
scheduled
for
february
8th
and
I
am
unsure
if
we
will
be
included
on
their
agenda,
although
whether
they
let
us
give
us
the
courtesy
of
letting
us
know
if
they've
made
the
decision
to
put
us
on
their
agenda
or
even
react
to
or
respond
or
create
any
kind
of
a
anything
about
what
we
have
sent,
we
still
won't
know
and
but
we'll
be
able
to
kind
of
check
limbs
if
nothing
else,
to
see
if,
if
that's
been
picked
up
on
their
agenda
and
if
not
then
either
way
it's
going
to
be.
B
I
think
a
broader
conversation
this
for
executive
and
for
our
larger
mac
commission
this
time
next
month.
So
until
then,
we've
just
made
this
decision
to
hold
tight
hope
for
a
response.
B
Hope
for
any
of
our
council
members,
their
staff
to
acknowledge
what
we've
brought
forward
and
if
that
doesn't
happen,
we're
gonna
talk
about
it
and
if
it
does
happen,
we're
gonna
talk
about
it,
which
is
probably
not
what
you
wanted
to
hear
today,
but
that's
the
reality,
and
so
I
just
want
to
be
really
transparent
about
it.
B
However,
we
did
receive
one
response,
which
was
tremendous,
and
I
know
that
we
can't
give
like
all
of
the
details
about
it,
but
I
do
want
commissioner
henry
to
tell
us
all
about
it,
but
before
then
jeff
did
you
have
your
hand
up?
Did
you
have
a
question.
G
Yes,
I
did
so
that
audit
committee
meeting
on
the
february
8th
is
that
open
to
the
public.
B
I
believe
so,
just
like
any
other
city
council
meeting,
you
know
of
council
members,
it's
it's
a
committee,
so
yeah
and
also
we
should
be
able
to
see
their
agenda.
I
think
it's
a
a
week
before
so
so
we
should.
B
We
should
be
watching
and
updating
each
other
about
that
and
then
considering
what
you
know
if
we
want
to
attend
or
have
a
presence.
So
that's
a
great
question.
Thank
you
thanks.
Anybody
else
before
we
move
on
to
the
next
piece
of
this
story,.
B
K
Certainly
after
the
arts
resolution
went
to
council
members
without
our
notification
prior
to
that,
I
sent
an
email
to
my
council
member
jeremy
schrader
and
did
hear
back
that
he
was
going
to
follow
up
with
the
authors
of
that
resolution.
K
He
has
touched
base
with
vcp
jenkins
and
so
that
we
know
it's
at
least
on
the
radar
for
future
conversation,
and
I
believe
jeremy
is
on
the
audit.
Excuse
me,
commission,
council,
member
schrader
is
on
the
audit
committee
as
well,
so
I'll
be
looking
into
whether
or
not
we
get
on
the
agenda,
and
I
think
right
now.
K
My
general
approach
is
to
encourage
all
of
us
to
be
in
communication
with
our
council
members
whenever
we
see
fit
as
active
citizens
of
minneapolis
and
just
putting
it
on
our
radar
to
check
in
on
what
the
city
is
up
to,
and
you
know
if
we
want
to
be
a
part
of
it,
I
think
we
all
need
to
dedicate
some
time
and
energy
to
to
showing
up
to
whatever
opportunity
is
made
available.
B
That's
a
great
reminder
that
the
communication
needs
to
be
ongoing
and
if
you're
comfortable
even
saying
did
you
receive
our
letter?
I
mean
you
know
if
you
I
don't
want
to
make
that
like
unmandated
action
for
anybody,
because
I
think
everybody
has
different
levels
of
comfort
and
you
know
transparent
and
see
what
they're
elected.
But
you
know
you're
welcome
to
reach
out
and
if
you
do
it'd
be
great
to
share
that
information
with
us.
So,
okay,
any
other
questions
or
comments
about
the
audit
committee
piece.
D
Can
we
just
get
a
reminder,
is,
is
the
audit
committee
made
up
of
everyone
and
has
a
separate
chair,
or
is
it
a
subset?
It's.
B
I
believe
it's
five
or
six
council
members
and
a
staff
or
two
I
would
have
to
re-look
at
it
and
know
that
we
I
listed,
we
listed
all
of
the
members
on
our
letter.
Okay,
I'll,
go.
D
B
F
Okay,
so
to
touch
base
about
our
meeting
with
the
interim
director,
we
ended
up
having
a
meeting.
So
that's
that's
a
phenomenal.
You
know
stepping
stone
right.
There
is
more
than
a
response
via
email.
It's
a
meeting.
You
know
so
we
spoke
face
to
face
or
squaring
the
screen.
F
I
don't
know
virtually
anyway
in
regards
to
the
letter
that
I
wrote
and
sent
on
behalf
of
mac
for
support
and
assistance
with
our
concerns
and
the
issues
that
we're
dealing
with,
and
he
was
very
receptive
right
now
they
are,
they
do
have
an
interim
director
as
jones
stated.
His
name
is
franklin
reed,
very
nice
man
who
used
to
also
be
a
excuse.
Me
city
attorney,.
F
So
that's
helpful,
but
also
because
he
has
that
brain
yeah
and
then
he
also
has
the
other
capacities
that
he's
he
holds.
So
he
sits
on
other
commissions
at
this
time,
who
are
also
dealing
with
the
same
things
that
we're
dealing
with
there's
loads.
There's
high
turnover,
low
interest,
low
morale
and
he
was
very
transparent
about
that,
but
also
open
to
collaborating,
also
open
to
supporting
the
concerns
that
we
have
in
regards
to
bipac.
F
You
know
seats
in
regards
to
having
a
voice
in
space
at
the
city
wherever
we
can
possible
because
we
are
the
arts
and
arts
is
important
for
the
city
of
minneapolis
in
regards
to
revenue,
but
then
also
in
regards
to
health
and
well-being.
So
he's
he's
he's
going
to
be,
I
think,
a
very
nice
asset
to
have
and
a
great
new
beginning
not
to
use
what
these
you
know.
New
catchphrases
that
cnn
and
other
mediums
might
be
using.
F
But
in
the
way
that
I
see
it
is
the
fact
that
we
can
expand
this
way.
You
know
other
voices
and
other
forms
of
leadership
will
now
see
and
hear
mac
whether
we
get
responses
from
some
of
these
people
or
not,
which
is
the
unfortunate
part.
So
if
he
give
if
he
has
given
up
space
if
he
is
giving
us
space,
why
aren't
the
rest
of
them?
F
It
is
still
an
important
issue,
because
when
is
going
to
be
the
best
time,
none
of
us
knows
right
if
we're
all
dealing
with
uncertain
times.
F
None
of
us
knows
what's
coming
next
and
it's
not
about
waiting
for
the
best
time
it's
about
standing
up
when
you
know
something
isn't
right
or
when
you
know
that
you
can
do
much
more
than
you're
doing,
and
I
commend
him
for
being
honest
with
us,
but
then
also
supportive
of
that
conversation,
and
he
was,
and
I'm
reluctant
only
in
regards
to
the
audit,
because
I
feel
that
any
request
for
an
audit
should
should
be.
You
know,
uproot
come
look
at
what's
happening
and
no
matter
how
high
on
you
know
your
priority
list.
F
We
are
put
us
on
there
and
I
look
you
know
I'm
I'm
reluctant
to
to
hear
if
they
will
or
will
not,
and
that's
only
because
of
you
know
what
we
know
now,
which
is
not
even
the
mayor
responded
and
not
even
other
members
of
city
staff
have
responded
to
our
our
letters.
B
I
want
to
just
add
that
mr
reed,
what
I
really
appreciated
about
the
time
our
time
together
as
janae
said,
was
that
he
was
empathetic
to
like
the
the
frustration
we're
feeling
and
as
a
person
who's
in
a
director
position.
I
thought
that
that
was
really
really
refreshing
to
be
like
yeah
like
this.
Is
I'm
hearing
this
from
other
groups
that
this
is
that
these
times
are
growing,
even
more
challenging
with
turnover
and
retaining
bipac
talent
and
and
feeling,
like
you,
have
a
meaningful
place
at
the
table
to
influence.
B
You
know
what
you
want
to
do
and
and
who
you
speak
for
your
constituents
and
your
ward
and
being
valued.
So
if
I
had
never
even
thought
about
the
fact
that,
like
other
boards
and
commissioners,
you
know
boards
and
commissions
like
would
be
having
like
such
similar
issues
as
us,
but
it's
no
surprise
right.
So
so
he
didn't
want
to
speak
for
the
chairs
and
the
there's
they're
seating,
their
commissions.
Now
too,
he
oversees
a
few
of
them,
and
so
we'll
know
more
next
month
again,
but
he
was
very
welcoming.
B
He
definitely
kind
of
like
rooted
the
space
and,
like
leaders
should
know
other
leaders
and
that
he
felt
he
used
words
like
resilience
that
the
minneapolis
arts
commission
is
trying
to
create
paths
for
agency
and-
and
you
know
that
he
was
kind
of
a
degenerative
like
he
wasn't
like.
B
Well,
let's
go,
you
know
you
should
go
strike
up
this
conversation
or
sort
of
like
move
this
way
he
was
sort
of
like
let's
get
together
and
talk
and
see
what
comes
as
other
people
who
care
very
dearly
for
their
city
for
different
reasons
and
are
facing
some
similar
issues
with
the
groups
that
they
serve
on
so
without
giving
too
much
more
detail,
because
I
think
he
needs
to
vet
kind
of
the
ideas
that
we
had
as
we
spoke.
B
I
just
I
just
felt
like
he
was
offering
something
that
made
sense
and
that
felt
really
generous
in
this
moment,
and
so
I
really
have
to
thank
you.
Janae
by
you
know
really
bringing
that
forward,
that
this
might
be
a
person
and
a
body
that
could
meet
us
meet
with
us
and
like
really
consider
like
what
we're
experiencing.
So
I
see
tina's
hand
up.
A
Yes,
I
just
had
a
quick
question.
I
was
just
going
to
ask:
did
he
recommend
going
the
audit
route,
or
did
he
even
suggest,
maybe
the
city
doing
an
audit
on
all
boards
and
commissions?
Did
he
even
mention
anything
like
that
or
okay?
I
was
just
curious
because
I
didn't
know
if
I
should
reach
out
to
him
and
try
to
work
with
him
and
get.
B
F
No-
and
I
I
wanted
to
add
this,
commissioner
henry-
I
wanted
to
add
also
that
this
for
for
mac
to
know
that,
if
he's
willing
to
help
you
know
this
is,
he
is
going
to
probably
be
the
best
example
that
we've
ever
had
to
have
outside
support,
and
then
hopefully
you
know
this
opens
the
door
for
other
people
to
turn
their
heads
and
say
yeah
we'll
help.
F
B
The
thing
that
I
love
about
it
is,
and
what
we
talked
about
in
our
december
meeting
is
how
uncomfortable
it
feels
in
this
moment
to
be
screaming
that
we
want
to
be
of
service
like
how
awkward
that
feels-
and
I
never
thought
that
like
well.
Maybe
we
could
help
other
commissions
so
like
okay,
like
the
door
slammed
in
our
face
for
the
people
that
we
felt
we
would
be
of
value
to,
but
we
didn't
realize
that
like
and
I
don't
want
to
name
all
the
different
commissions.
B
B
B
I
don't
know
I
mean
that's
pretty
big,
big
big
hopeful
vision,
but
you
know
it's
just
was
such
a
unique
consideration
that
I'm
just
excited
that
we
might
be
able
to
like
meet
up
with
some
folks
that
volunteer
also
that
really
care
a
lot
about
the
things
they
care
about
and
how
we
might
be
able
to
be
helpful
to
one
another
so
yeah
anyway,
it
was.
I
left
it.
I
left
that
meeting
on
a
friday
for
the
first
time
in
some
time
being
like
whoa
like
hey,
that
might
be
really
cool
for
us.
D
Just
a
quick
question
about
knowing
he's
in
an
interim
position:
do
we
know
how
long
he's
been
in
that
position
and
how
long
he
might
anticipate
being
in
that
position?.
F
I
believe
velma
this,
I
believe
he
began
two
or
three
months
ago.
Is
that
right?
I
think
it's
less
than
six
months.
I
wanna.
F
I'm
not
sure
how
long,
though,
joan
I
mean
lisa.
B
He
is
right
now
seating
their
executive.
You
know
it's
the
same.
Like
he's
in
the
position
to
like
see,
you
know
all
those
senior
leadership
positions
are
being
seeded
in
february.
So
then
we'll
have
those
conversations
post
that
and
that's
you
know
the
same
for
us
like
it's
hard
for
us
to
move
forward
without
us
having
that
sort
of
work
solidified
so.
M
Just
a
little
bit
more
information,
it
looks
like
he
was
a
compliance
officer
with
civil
rights
since
2018,
which
is
a
so
he's,
been
in
civil
rights
for
a
while.
Also
a
number
of
department
heads
have
resigned
in
the
last
year,
there's
a
lot
of
interim
people
and
so
and
it's
also
an
election
year.
M
And
so
you
know
they
may
appoint
a
new
civil
rights
director
tomorrow.
But
usually
when
things
are
like
this
in
the
city,
people
hold
interim
positions
for
a
while
it's
a
hard
time
for
someone
to
take
on
a
job
at
the
city
of
minneapolis.
Given
what
2020
looked
like
for
the
city
of
minneapolis.
B
I
I
have
a
question,
so
what
is?
Are
there
any
action
items
or
net
follow-ups
in
the
works
or
what?
How
can
we
support
and
move
forward
with
engaging
with
this.
B
So
next
steps
are
for
him
to
work
with
his
groups
to
seat
their
executive,
and
then
he
wants
to
meet
again
and
he
wants
to
you
know,
work
with
those
individuals
to
find
out
how
they
feel
about
potential
collaboration
with
us,
so
he
couldn't
commit
because
he's
you
know
he's
like
like
mary.
B
Is
our
director
person
he's
that
person
for
these
different
groups
and
they
clearly
have
to
kind
of
make
their
own
decisions
about
where
they
spend
their
time
and
how
they
prioritize
things,
but
he
loved
the
idea
of
of
putting
it
out
there
and
he
felt
like
people
might
be
really
interested
in
knowing
who
we
are
at
very
least
and,
like
you
know,
sort
of
building
our
networks
a
bit
at
least,
but
there
may
be
there's
something
more
with
the
meeting
of
the
minds.
B
So
the
next
steps
are
to
get
our
executive
body
seated
to
get
their
their
executive
body
seated
and
then
meet
again
once
those
conversations
have
advanced.
So
this
is
our
preliminary
conversation
also,
and
so
hopefully,
that's
happening
on
on
his
end
too.
But
again
I
you
know,
I
I'm
hesitant
to
speak
too
much
on
what
his
action
steps
will
be
too,
because
he
was
really
clear
that,
like
he,
doesn't
want
to
make
a
decision
for
his
gurps
and
their
chairs
and
vice
chairs
and
stuff
like
that.
B
So
I
hope
that
makes
sense.
So
I
think
our
february
meeting
is
going
to
be
really
interesting.
Put
it
that
way,
we're
going
to
have
a
lot
of
updates
and
we're
going
to
have
we're
going
to
know
a
lot
more.
I
mean
I
think,
we're
going
to
have
a
really
rich
dialogue
and
I
look
forward
to
it
any
other
questions
or
comments
about
this.
B
But
right
now
we're
just
putting
everything
on
hold
because
we
just
are
floating
in
such
an
uncertain
space
about
where
we
have
agency
and
what
and
what
what
will
be
the
best
use
of
our
energy.
Commissioner,
henry.
F
B
Us
I
do
not
believe
that
we
will
have
access
to
a
budget
mary.
You
can
correct
me
if
I'm
right,
but
last
year's
budget
was
something
that
hadn't
happened
at
least
not
in
a
long
time
and
from
what
I'm
told
that
those
types
of
buckets
of
funding
are
no
longer
available
to
us,
but
I
think
we
should
probably
clarify
that.
So
I'm
not
sure
if
a
budget
discussion
actually
is
going
to
be
something
that
we
can
advance
mary.
Do
you
have
any
insight
about
that.
M
You
know
not
a
huge
pot
of
money
for
it,
but
some
money
for
it,
but
I
think
you
would
need
to
propose
an
idea,
especially
considering
that
last
year's
funds
didn't
get
spent.
So
I
don't
think
it's
not.
I
think
you
need
to
have
an
idea.
F
Okay,
no,
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
I
missed
our
last
executive
meeting,
so
I
wasn't
sure
if
we
talked
about
venues,
whether
we're
virtual
or
not,
and
collaborating
with
venues
and
then
obviously
there's
a
space
for
budget
for
that
and
artist
panel-
that
we
did
not
do
last
year.
This
would
be
the
best
time
I
think,
to
interview
george
floyd
artists.
That
is
a
good
idea.
You
know
there's
ideas
that
we
I
have
anyway,
and
I
didn't
know
if
the
budget
was
discussed.
B
And
it's
good
to
know
that
that's
an
opportunity
and
maybe
to
advance
that
we
could
could
we
start
an
ideas
list
in
a
google
drive,
maybe
bringing
some
of
the
things
we
didn't
get
to
do
last
year
forward
and
thinking
about
what
we
might
want
to
do
this
year
forward.
B
Knowing
also
that
we
are
down
a
lot
of
people
and
so
capacity
is
going
to
be
an
issue.
But
thank
you,
commissioner.
Henry
I'm
happy
to
start
that
document
and
I'll
share
it
with
you
all,
and
maybe
we
can
even
just
make
it
a
2021
work
plan
like
yes,
it's
budget
conversation,
but
it's
also
like
what
are
we
going
to
commit
to
doing
so?
We
can
start
there.
Does
that
sound
okay
for
next
steps.
B
B
Good
any
other
comments
or
questions.
I'm
sorry,
I
know
we're
a
couple
minutes
over
time
and
I
pride
myself
and
being
done
right
on
the
right
on
the
nose,
but
does
anybody
else
have
anything
that
they
want
to
bring
forward
before
we
meet
next?
I
think
our
next
agenda
is
pretty
jazzy.
B
I
I
hope
you
all
go
in,
and
peace
and
safety
and
and
thank
you
for
your
service
and
I
look
forward
to
working
with
you
all
this
year
and
we'll
have
some
things
to
accomplish
between
now
and
when
we
meet
next
month.
But
as
always,
my
door
is
open.
Please
reach
out.
If
you
have
anything
that
you
want
to
talk
about
or
are
concerned
about,
and
until
then
I
think
we
can
adjourn
the
regular
meeting
of
the
minneapolis
arts
commission
wait,
I'm
reading
I'm
reading
the
beginning,
I'm
sorry!
B
I
have
these
weird
scripts
for
this
online
meeting.
I
apologize
with
that.
We
have
completed
all
items
on
the
agenda
for
this
meeting.
I
will
ask
members
and
staff
if
there
are
any
other
matters
to
come
before
this
meeting,
I
see
lots
of
heads.
She
can
know.
Okay,
if
not
and
without
objection.
I
will
declare
this
meeting
adjourned.
