Thank
you
before
we
begin
I'd
like
to
note
that
this
meeting
includes
the
remote
participation
of
members
as
authorized
under
minnesota
statutes,
sections
13
d
.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.

My
name
is
jessica
guzman
and
I'm
here
just
observing
the
meeting
for
a
nursing
class
at
augsburg,
college
or
university
now
welcome
jessica.
Thank
you.
A
Right
well
this
evening,
we've
made
a
slight
adjustment
in
kind
of
our
sequencing
to
allow
ourselves
a
little
bit
more
time
in
our
work.
It
sounds
like
we
need
to
do
a
little
bit
of
reorganization
before
we
break
out,
but
we
wanted
to
start
with
an
update
from
our
deputy
commissioner
noyah
woodridge
first
thing
so
that
then
we
can
move
into
our
working
sessions.
I
I
So
we
did
there's
like
four
things:
I'm
going
to
give
an
update
on.
The
first
is
the
hiring
of
the
health
equity
manager,
which
last
time
I
was
at
this
meeting,
I
asked
for
someone
to
help
with
interviews
and
we
did
do
interviews.
I
First
of
all,
we
had
17
16
or
17
applicants
total,
which
is
not
a
big
number
at
all,
and
we
interviewed
half
of
the
people,
so
we
spent
a
whole
day
doing
interviews
and
at
the
end
of
it
there
were
a
couple
people
that
we
thought
we
could
advance
for
a
second
interview,
but
it
really
nobody
felt
really
strongly
about
either
of
those
individuals,
and
so
we
instead
decided
to
not
do
second
interviews
and
repost
the
position
and
try
to
find
a
bigger
pool
of
applicants.
Well,.
I
Because
of
hr
and
city
rules
about
hiring,
we
ran
into
this
challenge
of
when
you
post
a
position
in
the
city,
then
you
have
a
eligible
list
and
the
eligible
list
is
all
of
those
people
that
were
deemed
to
have
met
minimum
qualifications
for
the
position
that
eligible
list
can
stay
active
for
anywhere
from
30
to
90
days
way.
At
the
beginning
of
this,
like
back
in
july,
we
had
said
well,
let's
leave
it
active
for
90
days.
I
The
problem
is
is
because
we
didn't
find
anyone
to
hire
out
of
that
first
process.
That
meant
we
wouldn't
be
able
to
repost
the
position
until
the
end
of
february,
because
that
list
is
still
active,
so
we
actually,
we.
I
actually
went
to
the
civil
service
commission
meeting
today
to
ask
them
to
close
the
list
for
us
early
so
that
we
could
get
the
position
reposted,
because
I
didn't
want
to
wait
until
the
end
of
february
to
repost
the
position,
so
they
gave
us
approval
to
do
that
today.
I
So
hopefully,
this
week
we
will
again
get
the
position
posted.
We
changed.
I
We
didn't
change
anything
about
the
the
kind
of
core
or
intent
of
the
position,
but
we
did
add
language
to
the
job
announcement
to
make
sure
that
it
was
really
clear
what
it
is.
We
were
looking
for
in
terms
of
experience
and
skills,
and
we
described
a
little
bit
more
about
what
we
what
we
wanted
the
position
to
do,
or
the
person
in
that
position
to
do.
I
The
other
thing
that
we're
going
to
change
from
last
time
is
hr,
has
hired
a
recruiter
since
the
last
time
we
posted,
and
so
we
will
have
an
additional
support
in
the
human
resources
department
to
promote
and
do
some
engagement
and
recruitment
for.
B
J
I
Taking
place,
I
was
wondering
what
was
going
on
anyhow
we've,
so
we've
been
given
permission
to
repost
the
position
now,
instead
of
at
the
end
of
february,
hr
has
a
new
person,
that's
been
hired
to
help
recruit
for
all
city
positions
and
that's
something
different
than
what
we
you
know.
I
So,
for
instance,
I
did
share
it
on
my
facebook
page
last
time,
but
I
didn't
share
it
on
linkedin.
I
didn't
send
it
to
any
people
that
I
personally
knew
that
might
be
qualified
or
interested
in
the
position.
So
I've
talked
to
a
few
people
in
the
health
department
and
said
when
we
get
this
reposted.
Will
you
please
facebook
it
instagram
it
tweet
it
linkedin
it.
You
know
really.
I
We
we
want
a
bigger
applicant
pool
than
18
people
to
start
with,
and
we
do
want
people
that
I
think
the
interview
committee
have
has
a
little
bit
more
confidence
in.
I
will
say
the
good
news
is
the
majority
of
those
people
that
applied
were
people
of
color
and
of
the
eight
people
that
we
interviewed.
I
Seven
of
them
were
people
of
color,
so
that
was
one
hope
of
mine
and
posting
that
position
that
we
would
be
able
to
really
find
a
strong
qualified
person
of
color
to
fill
the
position
and
the
fact
that
we
had
that
many
folks
of
color
applying
for
the
job
was
really
at
least
made
me
a
little
bit
hopeful
that
we'll
be
able
to
repeat
at
least
that
part
of
the
last
recovery
process.
I
So
if
we
are
able
to
get
that
position
posted
again
within
the
next
seven
days,
I
anticipate
that
we
will
be
looking
to
do
interviews
around
the
beginning
of
december
again
with
the
hope
of
getting
someone
on
by
january
1st.
This
is
about
six
months
longer
than
I
wanted
it
to
be,
but
I
also
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
the
right
person
and
hopefully
reposting
it
and
doing
a
better
job
of
promoting
the
position
will
result
in
a
better
outcome
for
us.
I
Secondly,
I
guess
gretchen
gave
an
update
on
the
budget
last
month.
We
did
do
she
and
I
did
our
budget
presentation
the
city
council
a
few
weeks
ago.
Nothing
earth-shattering
happened
at
that
meeting.
So
now
it's
just
continues
to
go
through
its
public
public
process,
and
we
don't
know-
or
we
won't
know
any
more
about
that
budget
until
december,
when
city
council
votes
on
it
one
way
or
the
other
culvert.
I
I
get
tired
just
thinking
about
it,
it's
been
a
long
time
and
we
we
continue
to
work
towards
embedding
the
covered
work
that
we
are
doing
into
the
department.
The
biggest
piece
of
that,
of
course,
continues
to
be
the
vaccination.
I
We
continue
to
have
vaccination
events,
they
are
smaller
in
frequency
and
smaller
in
attendance,
but
we
continue
to
work
with
community
partners
to
provide
those
opportunities
for
vaccination.
We
are
working
closely
with
minneapolis
public
schools
to
start
planning
for
vaccination
of
the
five-year-olds
and
up.
I
We
are
continuing
to
do
outreach
in
the
community
regarding
the
boost
the
either
the
third
shot
or
the
booster
shot,
and
we're
noticing
that
there
are
some
sub-populations
like
pregnant
women
that
we're
just
not
seeing
a
a
vaccine
uptake
and
so
we're
continuing
to
figure
out
how
we
can
promote
this
in
those
communities.
I
As
we
embed
the
covered
vaccination
work
into
the
health
department,
we're
also
adding
flu
onto
that
and
then
at
some
point
we'll
be
adding
measles
immunization
onto
that.
So
our
immunization
and
vaccine
work
will
be
a
little
bit
broader
than
it
has
been
in
the
past
in
terms
of
actually
getting
out
there
and
providing
a
vaccine
or
an
immunization.
For
folks,
we
are
using
some
of
the
covert
grant
dollars
that
we've
received.
We
will
be
hiring
and
I'm
also
hoping
to
get
those
positions
posted
next
week.
I
We
will
be
hiring
a
immunization
and
vaccine
coordinator.
I
think
I
maybe
mentioned
this
last
time
that
position
description
finally
made
its
way
through
all
the
layers
of
approval
that
a
new
position
does,
and
so
I'm
hoping
to
get
that
posted
soon.
We're
also
going
to
be
hiring
a
community
engagement
coordinator,
and
then
we
will
be
hiring
three
or
four
community
engagement
specialists
representing
our
different
communities
of
color
here
in
minneapolis.
I
So
we
are
actually
in
the
process
of
hiring
a
someone
that
represents
the
east
african
somali
community
and
then
we'll
look
to
be
hiring
someone
representative
of
the
african-american
latino
and
southeast
asian
community
and
then,
if
I'm
successful
in
finding
additional
funds,
we'll
hire
someone
representative
of
the
native
american
community,
but
in
terms
of
vaccine
uptake,
the
native
american
community,
interestingly,
is
doing
the
best.
So
we
want
to
focus
on
those
other
communities
first,
and
we
continue
to
give
all
ppe.
I
We
continue
to
provide
covet
tests
to
organizations
and
businesses
and
individuals
throughout
the
city,
though
we're
not
doing
testing
events
like
we
did
last
year
and
we
continue
to
work
on
communications.
We
are
right
now
finishing
up
getting
five
mous
or
contracts
in
place
with
organizations
representing
our
five
different
main
cultural
groups.
E
Did
you
say
in
that
last
part?
Did
you
say
that
we
are
contracting
or
continuing
contracts
with
the
cultural
organizations
around
communications,
yeah.
K
I
I
We
identified
in
minneapolis
those
zip
codes
where
we
have
the
lowest
vaccine
uptake
rates
and
that
the
reason
we
do
it
by
zip
code
is
that's
how
the
data
is
tracked
at
the
state
level.
So
we
have
five
or
six
zip
codes
that
not
surprisingly,
are
in
south
minneapolis,
just
south
of
downtown
and
in
north
minneapolis,
just
north
of
downtown,
and
we
have
said
that
those
are
the
zip
codes
that
we
will
continue
to
prioritize
in
terms
of
any
of
our
vaccination
work.
I
A
C
Thank
you,
lauren.
Thank
you
noyah.
This
is
related
to
coved,
but
hopefully
more
of
a
positive
over
the
course
of
the
week.
I
was
thinking
about
the
last
time.
C
I'd
really
seen
the
public
give
a
positive
like
affirmation
for
the
work
that
our
health
care
teams
are
doing,
and
I
was
thinking
about
different
ideas
for
how
we,
as
a
committee,
can
maybe
recommend
to
the
city
that
we
do
something
to
recommend
up
to
recognize
healthcare
staff,
and
so
you
know
my
crazy
idea
at
the
time
was
like
the
bridge,
but
I'm
wondering
noya
if
over
this
long
experience
that
you've
had
during
the
pandemic,
if
you
can
think
of
a
time
when
your
work
was
recognized
and
it
seemed
to
boost
morale
with
its
with
the
team,
because
maybe
we
can
take
that
as
a
little
seed
and
turn
it
into
something
that
we
can
do
for
our
hard-working
healthcare
heroes.
I
I
I
was
supposed
to
have
the
day
off,
but
all
of
the
sudden,
this
stuff
popped
up
on
my
calendar.
I
knew
I
was
going
to
be
here
tonight,
but
I
had
all
this
other
stuff
and
then,
after
a
day
and
a
half
out
of
work,
I
had
180
emails
waiting
for
me
like
that's
just
sheer
ridiculousness,
so
I'm
not
in
a
good
place
right
now.
I
You
answer
that
question
with
some
level
of
reasonableness,
so
I
I
would
be.
I
I
I
it's
a
little.
I
I
it's
a
little
hard
for
me
to
think
over
the
last
18
months.
Was
there
a
time
where
I
felt
like
the
city
appreciated
me
and
the
work
I
was
doing
much
less.
All
of
the
other
dozens
of
people
around
me
doing
the
work,
but
I
think
I
would
I
would
be
willing
to
go
back
and
talk
to
some
of
the
staff
that
were
on
the
incident
management
team
like
margaret
and
many
others
and
just
say:
hey
was
it.
I
Is
there
anything
that
the
city's
done
or
the
health
department's
done
over
the
last
18
months?
That
made
you
feel
better
about
the
work
that
that
you
were
doing
on
behalf
of
kovid?
And
I
don't
know
that
you
know
I
need
to
wait
until
next
month
to
bring
that
information
back
to
you.
I
think
I
would
be
willing
to
ask
the
question
and
and
get
the
information
out
to
you
by
way
of
email
or
whatever.
The
official
avenue
is
to
do
that.
I
I
do
think
you
know
I'll
be
a
little
honest
and
say
we
I
feel
a
little
stymied.
Sometimes
I
mean
the
way
that
I'm
used
to
appreciating
people
out
in
non-government
world
is
to
buy
them
a
meal
or
you
know,
buy
them
a
little
token
of
appreciation
and
those
are
things
we
can't
do
as
as
city
employees,
and
so
it
has
felt
a
little
frustrating.
On
the
positive
side,
we
were
able
to
secure
some
money
from
the
minnesota
department
of
health.
I
They
gave
out
a
pot
of
money
under
the
umbrella
of
workforce
development
and
we
carved
a
nice
little
chunk
of
money
out
of
that
pot
to
do
some
well-being,
employee
well-being,
mental
health,
well-being,
type
activities
with
staff,
and
I
have
a
little
group
of
staff
people
that
I'm
meeting
with
three
times
over
the
next
three
weeks
and
together
we're
going
to
plan
how
to
spend
that
money.
I
So
I
think
there's
little
things
like
that
that
that
are
helpful
as
well,
but
I
I
can
certainly
get
back
to
you
with
some
thoughts
and
ideas
as
well.
D
I
can,
I
can
add,
that
working
in
the
hospital,
the
hero's
banners
get
really
patronizing,
because
we
we
go
to
work.
We're
like
the
weird
hero
thing
gets.
Weird
pizza
parties
and
granola
bars
aren't
exactly
what
anybody
in
healthcare
is
looking
for,
we're
you
know
looking
for
there
to
be
some
semblance
of
like
consistent
messaging
for
public
health
across
the
board.
A
I
A
All
right,
so
our
next
order
of
business
is
to
have
some
breakout
time
but
prior
to
calling
the
meeting
to
order.
It
was
obvious
we
had
a
little
bit
of
confusion
in
in,
to
kind
of
which
breakout
group
is
really
focused
on
which
core
work.
So
I
think
we
have
just
a
little
bit
of
clarity,
probably
to
arrive
at
before
we
push
folks
into
rooms.
So
margaret
do
you
want
to
try
to
offer
some
security
or
jerome?
E
Yeah,
I
can
maybe
start
if
you
want
jerome
and
if
I
go
awry
just
like
raise
your
hand
or
wave
your
arms.
J
E
I
had
the
same
question
because
I
had
offered
to
join
the
food,
drink
and
medicine
group
and
I
thought
I'm
not
even
sure
like
what.
What
exactly
are
they
talking
about.
So
I
went
to
that.
Powerpoint
that
I
had
sent
out
last
must
been
last
week
sometime
with
the
meeting
notes
and
reviewed
the
powerpoint
and
printed
off
the
pages
for
food
medicine
and
drink,
and
then
I
printed
them
off
for
environmental
and
and
mental
health,
because
I
felt
like
those
were
the
two
buckets
that
I
wasn't
quite
clear
on.
E
So
I'm
going
to
start
with
food,
drink
and
medicine.
So
the
slide
that
talks
about
that
says
it
includes
access
to
food
and
water
quality,
including
intentional
and
unintentional
drug
use,
including
also
vaccination
concerns.
And
then,
when
you
get
further
into
the
slides,
it
does
indicate
things
like
vaccine
hesitancy.
E
It
also
includes
vaccine
hesitancy,
which
I'd
already
mentioned
sorry
and
vaccinations,
suggesting
policies
that
motivate
people
to
get
vaccinated,
despite
their
concerns.
E
So
there's
a
lot
in
that
food,
drink
medicine
that
yeah
that
can
be
unpacked
anyway.
In
conversation.
E
The
second
group,
so
so
currently
in
that
food,
drink
and
medicine
group
initially
was
mary,
andrew
meredith
martinez,
who
can't
be
with
us
tonight
and
then
mary
you
had
offered
to,
or
you
had
indicated,
that
you
wanted
to
go
to
environmental
and
mental
health.
But
let
me
just
tell
you
a
little
bit
about
that
group
as
well.
E
Jerome
am
I
on
track
so
far:
okay,
great,
okay,
excellent,
so
now,
environment
and
mental
health.
That
includes
climate
change,
air
quality
and
safety,
which
includes
a
whole
bunch
of
things
like
speed
limits,
biker
safety,
domestic
violence.
You
know
blah
blah
blah,
but
I
will
read
through
more
detail.
E
E
G
E
So
what
I
can
say
as
well
is
that
if
you
haven't
chosen
a
group,
yet
you
can
certainly
pick
any
group
you
want.
We
just
need
to
let
hattie
know
which
group
you
want
to
go
to
and
then
hedy.
I
don't
want
to
like
spoil
the
the
tech
stuff
that
people
need
to
do
when
they
get
into
their
groups.
E
But
I've
already
sent
out
the
title
slides
to
people
in
those
small
groups
to
make
sure
that
the
very
first
thing
is
the
title
slide
goes
up,
because
when
I
t
gathers
the
recording
of
all
of
our
conversation,
they
want
to
make
sure
that
they
put
the
subgroup
committee
discussions
in
with
the
right
committee.
E
So
that's
why
it'll
say
public
health
advisory
committee
like
working
group
a
or
number
one
or
whatever
it
is,
and
so
the
people
that
share
that
title
slide.
Somebody
also
needs
to
hit
the
record
button.
So
now
hattie,
I'm
gonna,
look
at
you
and
see
it
is.
Are
those
directions
correct
and
is
there
any
other
direction
that
needs
to
be
given.
B
F
B
You
should
have
a
little
button
with
an
arrow
and
it
says,
share
content,
and
if
you
hit
that
button,
then
you
should
come
up
with
a
little
dialog
box.
That
shows
you,
the
screens
and
windows
that
you
have
open
on
your
computer.
B
So
for
breakout
rooms
it
looks
like
there
are
a
few
people
that
I
don't
have
assigned
to
anywhere
yet
lisa
nicotres
one.
L
H
Yeah,
sorry,
I
don't
know
how
to
use
my
chat
on
the
cell
phone.
Can
I
do
food
medicine
and
drink?
Please.
B
And
okay,
I'm
sorry.
I
can't
see
my
screen
right
now:
who's
talking,
lisa
nicotra
food,
drinking
thanks,
okay,
oh.
B
K
Thank
you
for
clarifying
last
week.
I
really
wanted
to
be
in
the
group
that
would
be
discussing,
among
other
things,
vaccine
hesitancy
and
for
some
reason,
when
I
asked
to
go
into
environmental
health
and
mental
health.
Last
time
there
was
a
robust
discussion
going
on
about
vaccine
hesitancy
in
that
group,
thus
my
confusion,
but
I
think
I
definitely
belong
in
food
drinking
medicine,
perfect.
A
E
I
was
initially
going
to
go
into
food,
drink
and
medicine
as
well,
just
because
that
seemed
to
be
a
tiny
little
group,
but
I'm
wondering
which
one
is
the
smallest
group
now
is
that
environmental
and
mental
health
yeah,
I
believe
so
yeah
so
jerome.
Do
you
still
want
to
join
food
drinking
medicine?
Are
you
going
to
stay
in
racism
as
a
public
health
emergency.
E
I'll
go
into
environmental
and
mental
health.
All
right.
G
G
This
is
sharon
horace
from
ward
8..
What's.
G
G
So
I
will
because
I
had
I
had
found
the
you
know
the
if
all
the
information
about
the
meeting
online,
so
I
can
there
is
a
link
that
way
or
is
it
a
different
one?.
E
No,
I
think
it's
the
same
link
yeah.
So
if
you
can
either
go
into
the
agenda,
you
know
that
was
posted
online.
J
E
B
That
then,
so,
when
I
beam
everybody
over,
if,
for
some
reason,
you're,
not
in
the
right
group
or
you
want
to
change
groups,
just
just
come
back
to
the
main
meeting
room,
and
I
can
also
shoot
you
somewhere
else.
If
you
want
to
and
then
how
long
are
we
going
to
be
in
our
breakout
rooms?
B
A
J
B
G
J
J
J
J
G
J
J
J
B
J
I
B
That's
better
so,
which
did
you
have
a
breakout
room
that
you'd
like
to
go
to.
J
J
J
J
J
J
J
J
J
J
J
J
J
J
J
J
H
D
B
Yeah,
I'm
here
so
did
you
guys
get
a
message
in
your
breakout
room
to
come
back?
Yes,.
C
C
B
L
A
Perfect
well,
why
don't
we
do
just
a
quick
round
robin
from
each
of
the
groups,
kind
of
just
a
small
update
on
what
you
worked
on
and
any
next
steps
that
you
have.
A
So
maybe
we
can
start
with
food,
drink
and
medicine.
If
somebody
is
willing
to
report
out
for
that
growth.
C
A
C
D
D
We
see
higher
rates
of
emergency
utilization
versus
primary
preventative
care
in
more
underserved
communities,
so
attacking
misinformation
and
andrew
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
but
brought
up
the
american
rescue
plan
and
some
of
the
calls
that
he's
had
where
there
are
various
pots
of
money
to
apply
for
to
dole
out
for
grants
and
we're
seeing
certain
ideas
like
as
this
committee
to
help
with
traction
and
then
also
looking
at
the
messaging
with
employers
about
the
cost
of
not
supporting
preventative
measures
like
days
off
to
get
the
vaccine
and
then
the
day
after,
just
in
case
it's
needed
and
also
perhaps
they're.
D
You
know
really
looking
at
the
places
that
may
not
be
following
the
letter
in
the
spirit
of
the
law
for
our
guaranteed
sick
days
in
minneapolis,
and
then
we
talked
a
lot
about
drugs,
which
was
basically
me
ranting.
But
when
we
look
at
some
of
the
issues
that
we're
having
in
our
communities
with
hiv,
hep
c
and
other
high
risk
infections
and
overdoses,
I
can
the
action
item
was.
D
I
was
going
to
try
to
touch
base
with
people
at
southside,
heart
reduction,
as
they
had
gotten
a
grant
from
the
bush
foundation
to
explore
and
study
safe
consumption
sites
and
see
how
they
could
potentially
translate
to
minneapolis
and
depending
on,
where
they're
at
with
that
inviting
them
to
present
on
that
to
this
committee.
So
we
could
offer
support
and
then,
following
up
on,
if
the
city
and
itself
margaret
question
for
you,
has
there
been
any
sort
of
stance
on
the
legalization
of
cannabis.
E
I
don't
know
that
that's
in
my
wheelhouse
to
answer
so
I
would
have
to
take
that
question
back
to
gretchen
and
find
out.
You
know
what
within
the
health
department
has
been
going
on
or
within
the
city.
You
know
what
kind
of
conversations
have
been
going
on,
so
I
can
definitely
take
that
question
back.
I
hope
it's.
D
Not
a
surprise
that
everybody
in
our
group
is
pro
legalization
of
cannabis,
not
just
the
decriminalization,
but
also
people
on
the
medical
cannabis
program
have
way
too
many
barriers
at
this
point.
But
you
know
when
we're
looking
at
harm
reduction
and
alternatives
and
seeing
that
a
lot
of
our
issues
with
opioids
and
on
opioids
are
driven
by
prohibition
policies.
A
Great
thanks,
brett,
how
about
from
environment
and
mental
health.
L
E
L
E
I
talked
a
lot
in
our
group.
You
go
right
ahead
and,
if
there's
anything
that
is
yeah,
it
needs
to
get
filled
in.
I
can
fill
in.
L
We
touched
on
the
lack
of
awareness
in
the
community
for
where
to
seek
treatment,
or
you
know,
crisis
prevention,
that
type
of
thing
a
lot
of
times.
Sharon
mentioned
a
lot
of
times
that
people
will
take
children
to
adult
facilities
and
vice
vice
versa.
There's
just
a
misunderstanding
of
you
know
what
each
facility
or
agency
provides
terry
brought
up.
L
You
know
the
licensing
for
mental
health
providers
as
a
barrier
to
having
better
mental
health
services
in
her
community.
There's,
there's,
apparently
a
quirk
in
the
in
the
legislation
that
you
know
the
licensing
scheme
that
says
that
only
someone
who
is
able
to
diagnose
is
able
to
provide
mental
health
treatment
and
terry
correct
me
if
I
got
that
wrong,
but
I
believe
that
was
that
was.
L
Yes,
so
so
so
terry
is,
is
working
on
some
proposed
legislation
with
some
of
her
colleagues
and
we
discussed
the
idea
of
the
public
health
advisory
committee
supporting
that
via
a
letter
or
recommendation
to
city
council.
Obviously
the
licensure
chain,
licensure
change
would
have
to
occur
at
the
state
level,
but
having
support
from
minneapolis
city
council
or
the
public
health
advisory
committee
would
be
beneficial
to
their
lobbying
effort.
L
So
we
so
we
touched
on
that.
We
also
discussed
the
intersection
of
again
public
public
safety
and
public
health.
You
know
mental
health,
you
know
I
I
thought
it
would
be
interesting
and-
and
margaret
and
terry
agreed
to
to
actually
have
bet,
have
some
data
on
you
know
what
number
of
911
or
311
calls
are.
You
know
mental
health
crisis.
You
know
just
to
kind
of
help
frame
the
discussion.
You
know
at
a
broad
level
in
minneapolis
we're
talking
about
reimagining,
policing
and
public
safety.
L
Well,
you
know
you
kind
of
need
data
and
some
concrete
proposals.
You
can't
just
do
pie
in
the
sky
thing
forever,
so
it
would
be
helpful
to
get
some
data
on.
You
know
how.
How
often
are
police
responding
to
mental
health
crisis?
What
percentage
is
that?
Is
it
10?
Is
it
33
50
that
type
of
thing
getting
some
data
from
hospitals
and
things
like
that,
so
that
we
could
take
it?
L
Take
a
look
at
it
and
kind
of
make
a
recommendation
based
on
the
numbers,
because
I
you
know
I'm
not
aware
of
maybe
someone
else
is,
but
I'm
not
aware
of
anyone
doing
this
at
the
moment,
and
certainly
you
know,
the
discussion
is
to
reframe
public
safety
to
include
a
component
of
mental
health
and
an
addiction
crisis,
and
you
know,
perhaps
p
hack
could
could
take
a
role
of
some
kind
in
helping
frame
that
discussion
and
fleshing
out
the
details,
because,
ultimately,
if
that's
going
to
pass
somebody's
got
to
do
that.
L
So
so
we
talked
about
that
a
little
bit
and
then
trying
to
think
what
else
we
talked
about.
F
I
would
just
add
on
aaron
I
mean,
even
if
that
ballot
amendment
doesn't
pass
right,
even
if
we
don't
change
the
the
basic
infrastructure.
What
is
that
was
the
question
I
asked
like
what
what
can
we
do?
I
mean
we're
an
advisory
group.
I
get
that,
but
what
capacity
do
we
have
to
shape
a
conversation
and
to
elevate
something,
you
know
to
say
we're
not
going
to
forget
this
just
because
this
election
is
over
on
on
the
assumption
if
it
doesn't
pass
and
if
it
does
pass.
L
Yes,
abs,
absolutely
and-
and
I
totally
totally
totally
agree-
and
you
know
getting
that
data-
I
think-
would
be
a
crucial
step
and
you
know
we're
hoping
that
that's
something
p
hack
would
want
to
take
take
up
because
that's
important
to
myself
it's
important
to
terry
anne
and
something
we're
interested
in.
A
M
All
right,
a
really
lively
engaged
conversation
my
group
had
today
our
group
had
today
we
started
really
thinking
about
the
idea
of
scope
and
measurability.
M
As
we
all
know,
and
as
aaron
recently
alluded
to
you
know,
the
data
does
help
to
drive
a
lot
of
decision-making
and
evidence-based
action.
Plans
really
do
help
to
strengthen
change
when
you're
asking
someone
to
do
something
new
they'll
always
say
well.
Why?
And
it's
like
well,
here's
the
data
that
supports
this
is
why
we
should
make
this
change.
So
that
being
said,
we
talked
a
lot
because
we
do
have.
M
You
know
people
here,
obviously
throughout
the
committee
who
are
in
practice
right
now,
who
are
doing
the
things
right
now
about
what
makes
the
most
sense
and
for
us
it
really
came
to
you
know
what
scope
is
currently
in
place.
Is
there
any
scope
or
any
measurability
in
place,
and
what
is
it
that
we
can
help
guide?
To
that
end,
we've
decided
that
our
first
step
should
be
to
reach
out
to
gretchen,
with
essentially
a
list
of
hello.
This
is
our
group.
M
Here
are
the
things
that
we've
talked
about
previously
we're
interested
in.
If
there
are
any
data
sets
that
the
city
has
for
public
use,
involving
you,
know:
race,
ethnicity,
stratification,
socioeconomics
data,
stratification,
anything
on
potential
disease,
measurability
that
isn't
coded.
We
know
that
they're
doing
covet
dashboards
right
now.
M
I've
seen
them
on
the
city
website,
they're,
very
updated,
but
if
there's
anything
else
public
that
we
have
access
to,
if
there's
anyone
in
particular
that
we
should
be
talking
to
regarding
scope
current,
you
know:
minneapolis
health
department
projects
that
are
in
progress
or
that
are
being
queued
up
and
if
there's
anything
that
we
can
do
as
a
committee
to
help
either
offer
advice
perspective
or
to
truthfully
act
as
a
sounding
board,
because
people
who
work
sometimes
in
the
administrative
offices
can
don't
have
the
same
perspective
as
people
who
are
working
quote-unquote
in
the
field.
M
A
All
right:
well,
thanks
everybody.
I
think
that
felt
good
to
have
some
dedicated
time.
So
hopefully
that
was
satisfying
for
everybody
to
have
a
little
bit
of
deep
dive
time
and
to
get
some
next
steps
going.
So
I
think
margaret
you've
got
a
couple
new
business
items
for
us
before
we
close.
E
Yes,
so
so
we
will
be
needing
to
think
about
a
co-chair
for
this
committee,
because
laura
is
going
to
step
back
as
the
co-chair
and
then
eventually,
as
her
term
ends,
is
going
to
actually
step
back
from
the
committee,
which
creates
an
opening
in
that
particular
ward.
I've
been
in
contact
with,
and
so
has
laura
has
been
in
contact
with
a
council
member,
but
I
wanted
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
that
co-chair
position.
E
A
number
of
years
ago,
phac
made
some
decisions
about
having
yeah
kind
of
rotating
co-chairs
so
that
there
was
never
a
time
when
both
co-chairs
were
you
know,
on
the
same
term
and
and
left
at
the
same
time.
So
the
idea
kind
of
always
has
been
that
you
serve
for
a
while
and
then
another
co-chair
comes
in
while
you've
got
a
current
co-chair
in
place,
so
that
there's
a
little
mentorship.
E
You
know
and
succession
planning
that
goes
on
so
in
this
way,
laura's
decision
actually
plays
right
into
that
idea
of
being
able
to
rotate
into
a
co-chair
position.
So
so
my
ask
of
you
is,
if
you
are
interested
in
being
a
co-chair
of
this
committee,
all
you
need
to
do
is
really
a.
E
Let
me
or
hattie
or
jerome
know
that
you
would
be
interested.
Then
we
would
basically
have
you
know.
Potentially.
If
we
had
more
than
one
person
who
stepped
forward,
then
we
would
have
some
discussion
about
co-chairs
at
the
next
meeting
and
then
take
a
vote
to
be
able
to.
You
know,
put
somebody
into
place,
so
I
just
wanted
to
kind
of
put
that
tickler
out
there
in
your
ear
to
think
about
it.
You
don't
have
to
have
a
ton
of
experience.
It's
a
well
supported
position.
E
You
know
within
the
committee
structure,
probably
the
biggest
thing
is
that
the
co-chairs
and
I
meet
about
two
weeks
after
this-
our
regularly
scheduled
committee
meetings.
Just
so
that
we
can
say
hey
you
know,
what
did
you
hear?
What
can
we
do
next?
What's
the
agenda,
so
we
do
have
a
an
agenda
planning
meeting.
That's
about
45
minutes
long
in
between
the
meetings
just
so
that
we
can
kind
of
keep
things
on
par
laura.
Is
there
anything
that
you
want
to
add
about
that
co-chair
position.
A
I
think
just
that
it
is
a
it's
a
great
opportunity.
I
mean
I
think
I
learned
a
lot
more
in
the
role
trying
to
understand
speakers
and
more
about
the
department,
so
I
think
that's
great
and
obviously
it's
fun
to
work
and
playing
with
margaret
and
jerome,
so
I'm
I'm
bummed
to
step
down,
but
I
also
I'm
stepping
down
a
little
bit
for
my
own
personal
wellness.
I
I
echo
and
feel
some
annoyance
similar
feelings
about
the
hall
has
been
so
just
loved
the
work
and
was
grateful
to
meet
everybody.
E
Yeah,
so
anybody
that's
interested
can
just
let
us
know
via
email
and
would
really
appreciate
your
thoughtful
consideration
for
filling
that
position,
because
it
is
a
critical
one.
The
other
piece
of
business
is
that
we
have
two
candidates
to
fill
craig
hedberg's
vacancy
when
he
leaves
at
the
end
of
the
year.
It
will
be
because
he
has
served
his
maximum
three
consecutive
terms
and
he
recruited
two
excellent
candidates
from
the
university
of
minnesota,
but
it
means
that
we
have
to
choose
between
those
two
people.
E
So
I'm
just
looking
for
two
or
three
folks.
That
would
be
willing
to
do
an
interview
with
the
candidates,
and
then
we
would
make
a
recommendation
to
the
committee.
E
E
So
I
will
get
in
contact
with
you
and
then,
if
anybody
else
is
interested,
just
let
me
know
and
we'll
do
a
little
doodle
poll
get
something
together
and
be
able
to
do.
You
know
just
a
brief
interview
with
the
two
candidates
craig
has
said:
either
would
be
an
excellent
choice
and
they
just
have
different
experiences.
Obviously,
as
any
of
us
do,.
A
Awesome
well,
I
know
we
are
technically
two
minutes
over,
so
I
want
to
be
respectful
of
everybody's
time.
Thank
you
all
for
such
a
great
meeting
tonight
and
and
have
a
good
rest
of
your
evening.
Take
care
yeah.
