A
So
why
don't
we
head
straight
to
the
agenda
and
the
first
thing
is
an
update
from
the
department,
so
brian
walsh,
why
don't
you
take
it
away.
B
Sure,
thank
you,
chelsea.
I
think
we
do
have
a
good
substantive
meeting,
so
I'll
kind
of
defer
right
to
that,
but
just
say
briefly
that
we've
been
doing
a
lot
of
communicating
around
the
july
first
minimum
wage
increase.
B
We
were
either
myself
or
staff
were
on
several
different
radio
stations
made
my
first
appearance
on
univision
local
television,
which
is
exciting,
I
think,
to
try
to
branch
out
and
raise
more
awareness
and
kind
of
using
again
using
the
minimum
wage
increase
as
a
reason
or
in
some
ways
an
excuse
to
do
that,
because
I
kind
of
mention
everything
at
the
same
time
and
work
in
wage
theft
and
explain
how
that's
related
and
sick
and
safe
time
and
other
things
as
well
and
also
just
kind
of
used
all
of
the
city,
normal
communications
that
reach
kind
of
people
who
would
receive
that
kind
of
stuff.
B
Other
updates.
You
know
I
would
like
to
mention
some
really
good
meetings
recently
with
say
tool,
organizers
and
rock
organizers
and
some
others,
and
we
have
another
meeting
this
thursday,
just
building
more
and
deeper,
and
better
relationships
and
strategy
etc.
With
with
it
seems
like
more
and
more
people
on
the
ground,
doing
the
work
of
of
enforcement
and
raising
awareness,
so
I
think
that's
good,
a
good
update
for
now,
but
good
things
happening
for
sure.
A
Well,
thank
you.
Can
you
remind
me
when
the
annual
reports
are
due
each
year.
B
Yeah,
it
should
have
already
been
presented
honestly,
but
I
am
going
to
present
it
hopefully
later
this
month.
I
thought
at
the
same
time
or
after
perhaps
there's
a
report
from
the
downtown
workers
committee
subcommittee.
It
would
be
an
appropriate
time
to
also
give
some
updates
to
the
council
members.
A
lot
of
the
data
is
actually
available
in
almost
real
time.
I
think
it's
updated
daily
or
maybe
weekly,
but
a
lot
of
the
data
is
actually
on
a
data
portal
that
we
have
and
is
updated
again
continuously.
B
Yeah
yeah,
it
is
still
virtual
and
I
think
that
there
was
an
expectation
from
a
lot
of
city
staff
and
policy
makers
that
it
was
about
to
go
in
person
and
I'm
not
sure
the
mechanics
of
the
behind
the
scenes.
But
I
saw
a
note
that
I
think
at
council
suggestion,
if
that's
going
to
slow
down
a
little
bit
and
they're
going
to
do
that,
a
little
bit
more
intentionally
and
and
over
the
next.
Maybe
looking
towards
the
fall,
is
what
I
could
take
from
it.
B
But
the
immediate
thing
to
know
is
that
they're
not
going
to
be
in
person,
at
least
during
this
month
of
july,
and
I
would
expect
probably
not
back
in
person
in
august,
but
that
would
be
the
soonest.
B
Oh
right
right
we're
right
right.
Sorry,
that's
probably
that's
probably
what
you
were
asking
about.
No.
B
Now
I'm
happy
okay
got
it.
Yeah
me
and
ashley
are
trying
to
work
through
that.
I
think
the
clerk's
office,
if,
if
it's
listening,
is,
has
his
eye
on
moving
all
boards
and
commissions
back
in
person
at
some
point
but
ashley
and
I
were
having
a
discussion-
and
maybe
we
can
put
this-
maybe
we
can.
B
If
anyone
has
any
strong
feelings,
we
can
talk
about
it
now
we're
putting
on
a
put
it
on
a
future
agenda,
but
we
had
to
sense-
and
I
have
the
sense
that
maybe
some
of
our
wac
members
prefer
this
virtual
format
rather
than
coming
to
park.
Downtown.
I
don't
know-
maybe
that's,
maybe
there's
not
a
uniform
opinion
or
a
consensus
opinion,
but
there
might
be
a
way
that
this
committee
could
could
try
to
do
something
virtual
or
even
some
kind
of
hybrid,
depending
upon
the.
A
I
just
was
wondering
if
there
was
already
guidance
being
written
or
anything
like
that,
so
it
sounds
like
we
have
some
time
to
weigh
in
so
I
think
it
would
be
good
if
ashley
I
saw
you
go
off
mute.
Did
you
want
to
add
anything?
No,
okay.
I
think
it
would
be
good
if
maybe
we
sort
of
pulled
the
committee
and
saw
what
value
they
they
have
in
in-person,
hybrid
or
online,
only
so
not
to
derail
the
conversation.
So
then
the
next
did
you
anything
else.
Brian.
A
A
Not
seeing
any
hands
well,
I
have
two-
and
I
might
have
mentioned
this
first
one
at
the
last
meeting,
but
bloomington
is
up
and
running
with
their
work,
their
work
or
business
committee
as
well
wade.
Who's
on
this
committee
is
also
on
the
bloomington
one.
There's
a
main
street
alliance
representative,
there's
several
business
representatives,
there's
a
few
more
community
organizations
and
a
few
other
labor
groups
represented
so
their
first
meeting,
I
believe,
is
in
a
couple
weeks.
A
So
it's
going
to
be
exciting
to
see
what
bloomington
comes
up
with
in
their
process
and
my
communications
with
the
stakeholders
in
bloomington
I
mean
I
probably
sound
like
a
broken
record
to
them
is
enforcement
enforcement
enforcement
enforcement.
So
you
know
we'll
we'll
we'll
stay.
I
think
we
should
stay
in
touch
with
both
them
and
saint
paul
and
duluth.
A
A
And
then
my
second
update
is
like
hot
off
the
press,
so
we
have
been
this
committee
and
the
city
of
minneapolis
has
been
working
with
the
federal
reserve
quite
a
bit,
and
the
federal
reserve
is
doing
the
minimum
wage
study
for
the
is
contracted
to
do
the
minimum
wage
study.
A
But
the
federal
reserve
also
plays
a
lot
of
important
roles
in
our
community
talking
about
what's
actually
happening
in
our
economy
and
traditionally
it's
always
kind
of
been
based
on
a
number
like
very
specific
numbers
and
very
specific
stakeholders
and
they're
working,
really
they're
working
really
hard
to
expand
their
group
of
stakeholders,
particularly
to
include
workers.
A
Small
businesses
like
brought
in
brought
in
their
landscape,
so
they're
doing
a
survey
of
workers,
and
we
just
I
literally
I
mean
eric
garcia
luna.
Has
he
been
to
this
committee
before.
B
A
At
yeah
and
he's
one
of
their
community
yeah
federal
reserve,
so
he's
one
of
their
community
outreach
folks.
So
this
is
the
survey
I
just
put
it
in
the
chat
I
mean
I
I
got
this
at
2
45,
so
very
hot
off
the
presses
that
this
is
coming
out.
A
So
I
think
next
month
we
might
talk
about
this
a
little
bit
more
on
the
agenda
of
how
can
we
get
this
survey
out
so
that
organizations
like
the
federal
reserve
are
able
to
account
for
on-the-ground
experiences
of
you
know:
workers,
small
businesses
and
large
businesses-
it's
just.
They
have
such
an
in-line
to
the
large
businesses,
they're
really
reaching
out
to
us
to
say
like
how
do
we
get
into
these
other
communities
more
directly?
So
this
is
hot
off
the
press
announcement.
I
would
have
put
it
on
the
agenda.
A
Had
I
known
it
was
coming
today
we
weren't
expecting
it
today.
It
will
be
available
in
spanish
and
somali.
You
know,
by
the
end
of
the
week.
A
Okay,
any
other
organizational
updates
from
any
other
members
of
the
committee
all
right.
So
let's
move
right
in
then
to
the
downtown
workers
committee.
I
have
veronica
and
brian
elliott
listed
as
the
facilitators
on
this
portion.
C
Hi,
I'm
assuming
people
can
hear
me
now.
A
C
I'll
just
hold
it
out
here
so
hi.
Yes,
so
we've
been
having
lots
of
conversations
with
the
with
downtown
workers,
and
you
know
we
had
looked
because
maybe
what,
like
a
couple
months
ago,
we
had
sent
around
a
a
few
different
recommendations
that
the
that
the
the
committee
of
workers
was
proposing,
including
emergency
sick
leave
like
a
super
essential
workers,
including
the
you
know,
the
right
to
recall,
which
obviously
you
know
unite
here
and
council
members
put
a
bunch
of
good
work
into
passing.
C
We
we
had
a
number
of
different
things
on
there,
but
we
you
know,
given
that
the
moment
has
shifted
significantly
like
we
had
recommendations
on
there
related
to
you
know,
employers,
if
employers
are
requiring
masks
that
that
they
need
to
provide
them
for
workers
and
like
now
that
the
mass
mandate
is
gone.
You
know,
that's
shifted,
but
it
would.
You
know
the
the
city
did
in
the
mayor
in
his
press
release
did
send
out
information,
saying
employers
if
you're,
requiring
your
workers
to
wear
masks
still.
C
We
can
provide
them
and
giving
information
such
that
the
employers
could
have
access
to
to
free
masks
to
make
sure
that
they,
if
they're,
still
requiring
them
that
in
the
workplace,
that
they
could
that
they
could
run
so.
So
that's
great.
Obviously
the
moment
has
shifted
there,
but
so
there
are
now
a
few
other
things
that
we're
looking
at.
C
So
one
of
the
one
of
the
pieces
is
about
the
essential
worker
pain
which
in
a
second
I'll
I'll
hand
it
over
to
brian
elliott,
to
say
a
little
bit
more
about
because
there's,
obviously
the
state
component
and
then
like,
what's
sort
of
left
that
we
want
to
make
sure
to
move
at
a
city
level.
Additionally,
there's
so
there's
a
component
about
training,
so
we
had
always
had
in
their
recommendation
around
training
and
initially
it
was
about
making
sure
that
workers
are
trained
on
their
rights
related
to
covet
safety.
C
C
Yeah,
okay,
so
black
and
brown
communities
low-wage
workers
get
hit
the
hardest
when
they're
the
pandemic.
When
there's
any
kind
of
a
massive
crisis
like
this,
like,
we
know
that
that's
who
gets
hit
the
hardest-
and
so
you
know
now:
okay,
so
we're
kind
of
post-pandemic
in
terms
of
workplace
regulations,
but
I
we
just
thought
it's
really
important
to
note
that,
like
this
is
not
going
to
be
the
last
crisis
right,
like
with
climate
change
and
everything
there
are
likely
to
be
other
pandemics.
C
There
are
always
you
know,
economic
crises
that
hit.
There
are
different
crises
that
hit
our
communities
that
hit
our
city
and
we
know
who's
the
most
impacted,
and
it's
just
so.
It
just
became
so
critical
and
so
clear
in
this
moment.
C
You
know
that
even
when
the
governor
is
saying,
workers
should
be
a
part
of
creating
the
safety
plan.
Not
only
were
they
not,
they
weren't
even
trained
on
it,
and
that
was
like
we
did.
We
recently
did
a
survey
and
shoot
I'm
like
now
realizing
I
don't
have
it
in
front
of
me
I'll,
send
this
information
around
though,
but
we
recently
did
a
survey
with
about
200
workers
in
downtown
minneapolis
across
you
know
a
few
different
organizations
and
and
this
just
such
a
significant
amount
of
workers,
never
received
any
training.
C
I
want
to
say
it
was
like
72
percent
of
workers
said
that
they
never
received
any
training,
and
so
that
just
is
like
screaming,
like
oh,
my
god.
If
workers
had
training
like
that
could
help
like
if
employers
were
both
giving
workers,
information
and
providing
access
to
the
resources
to
be
able
to
use
that
training,
workers
could
be
a
lot
safer
and
we
are
specifically
talking
about
workers
that
are
sort
of
the
bottom
of
the
economic
wrong
black
and
brown
workers.
C
So
all
that
to
say
the
training
component
becomes
incredibly
important,
just
even
moving
forward,
and
so
our
proposal
in
this
is
and
and
actually
brian
walsh.
I
I
sent
you
this.
C
I
don't
know
if
that's
been
sent,
I
don't
know
if
this
has
been
sent
out
or
not,
but
if,
if
you
could
send
it
out,
I'm
sorry
I'm
not
in
front
of
a
computer,
but
if
you
could
send
it
out,
that'd
be
great,
but
it
includes
a
a
proposal
around
training
on
workers,
just
rights
and
safety
and
the
things
that
the
parts
of
the
law
that
the
city.
C
Actually
so
it's
you
know,
there's
yeah,
so
the
parts
of
of
worker
safety
that
the
city
enforces
that
we
would
say,
particularly
as
we
are
looking
at
downtown
right
now,
looking
at
the
most
vulnerable
populations
of
workers
downtown
with
the
areas
where
we
know
that
we're
seeing
you
know
high
violations
and
low
reporting
right.
So
not
like
you
know
not
like
all
of
the
office
workers
that
work
at
target
or
that
like
work
at
the
city,
but
really
like
the
sort
of
minimum
wage
jobs.
C
Workers
in
downtown
that
work
in
those
most
vulnerable
sectors
would
would
have
the
opportunity
to
call
the
city
or
email,
the
city
or
whatever.
The
mechanism
is
and
say.
We
requested
training
for
our
for
us
and
our
co-workers
and
that,
if
a
worker
does
that,
then
the
the
then
it
has
to
happen,
and
it
has
to
happen
on
paid
time-
and
this
was
a
piece
of
our
initial
proposal-
was
around
workers
being
able
to
be
trained
on
paid
time.
C
It's
obviously
super
hard
to
manage
because
it's
hard
to
mandate,
something
when,
like
the
city,
doesn't
even
have
a
roster
of
all
the
businesses
that
exist
in
the
city,
and
so
our
sort
of
our
thinking
was
if
workers
request
it
and
they're
able
to
request
it
anonymously
such
that
they
don't
have
that,
like
that
weight
of,
like
oh,
my
boss
is
going
to
retaliate
against
me
or
my
boss
may
retaliate
against
me
that
that
might
be
a
good
way
to
get
workers
trained.
C
So
if
workers
request
it,
then
we
do
a
training
and
we-
and
you
know
the
organizations
that
are
contracted
by
the
city,
societal
and
rock
and
in
a
wood
center
would
be
able
to
do
provide
and
partnership
with
brian
and
his
team
to
make
sure
that
workers
have
their
rights
respected
so
that
that's
that's
the
sort
of
big
shift
in
proposal
and
then
there's
this.
C
You
know
sort
of
a
long-term
thing,
but
continuing
to
just
name
like
we
want
to
figure
out
how
to
work
with
the
city
to
see
how
it
can
use
its
the
leverage
that
it
has
with
licensing
and
permitting
in
you
know,
different
kinds
of
businesses
that
it
licenses
and
permitting
with
construction
to
see
how
we,
like
you,
know
where
there's
like
repeat
offenders
or
like
really
bad
offenders
of
workers
rights.
C
Those
levers
can
be
used.
That's
a
bit
of
a
longer
term
thing
that
needs
more
conversation,
but
but
so,
but
that's
still
there
as
like
a
as
a
recommendation
and
then
the
fourth
recommendation.
Sorry,
I'm
like
talking
a
lot,
so
the
one
the
first
thing
was
figuring
out
the
essential
workers.
Pay
second
thing
is
the
training.
C
Third
thing
is
what
I
just
named
about
using
the
the
leverage
the
city
has
around
licensing,
and
permitting
fourth
thing
is:
it
is
about
the
budget
right
so
every
year,
at
about
this
time,
we're
talking
to
the
mayor
and
city
council
about
the
budget,
what
that
means
for
for
the
civil
rights
department,
what
that
means
for
community
contracting
specifically
to
make
sure
that
most
vulnerable
workers
get
reached
out
to,
in
addition
to
the
awesome
work
that
brian
and
team
are
doing
being
on
univision
and
and
whatnot.
C
So
the
the
proposal
that
came
out
of
the
the
worker
subgroup
was
eight
especially
now,
given
how
many
violations
we've
seen
in
such
a
lack
of
training
and
respecting
of
rights
around
covet
was
that
we
increase
the
budget
to
eight
investigators
and
eight
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
community
contracts,
and
just
to
be
just
for
a
reminder
to
folks
and
for
folks
that
have
weren't
here
when
we
started
these
kinds
of
conversations.
C
This
sort
of
the
standard
that
has
been
looked
to
in
like
solid
models
across
the
country
has
been
like
one
investigator
to
every
hundred
thousand
dollars
of
community
contract
money,
and
so
that's
why
the
eight
and
eight
so
like
eight
investigators,
eight
hundred
000
in
community
contracts.
So
I
will,
I
will
stop
there.
I
have
said
a
lot
of
things
and
I
don't
know
if
people
want
to
go
to
questions
or
if
we
want
to
hear
a
little
bit
more
from
brian
elliott,
about
the
we're
thinking
about
the
potential
workers
piece.
C
Given
the
the
state
level
component
of
this.
B
B
E
B
Reaction,
brian,
is
that
okay
yeah,
please-
and
I
I
mentioned
this
to
to
vera,
but
for
everyone
else.
I
think
that
the
the
the
idea
of
a
mechanism
to
request
a
training
is,
is
a
potentially
a
really
powerful
one,
because
the
potential
risk
involved
in
just
the
the.
B
It
can
be
really
intimidating
for
a
particularly
vulnerable
or
low-wage
worker
to
report
their
boss,
his
or
her
boss,
to
the
government
and
like
file
a
complaint
or
whatever
we
call
it,
or
you
know,
like
report,
a
violation
that
that,
in
and
of
itself
complaint
based
enforcement
can
be
a
barrier
to
enforcement.
B
Just
the
the
the
mechanism
itself,
I
think,
potentially
just
requesting
a
training,
is
sort
of
a
lower
stakes
thing
in
a
lower
stakes,
way
to
maybe
shine
the
light
on
a
workplace
or
for
a
worker
to
feel
empowered
to
do
something
and
take
their
rights
into
their
own
hands
or
learn
more
etc.
So
I
think
that's
a.
B
I
think.
It's
a
really
really
good
idea,
and
just
as
as
you
all
take
these
things
forward
to
policymakers,
just
remember:
are
you
asking
for
a
a
required
training,
because
I
think
that
that
if,
if
what
you
want
is
to
require
it
in
all
cases
that
it
is
requested
by
a
worker,
I
think
that
would
likely
take
a
small
but
substantial
amendment
to
one
of
our
ordinances,
which
I
don't
see
why
that
wouldn't
be
doable.
It's
just
helpful.
B
If
you're,
I
think,
if
you're
clear
in
what
you're
asking
for,
I
suppose
the
other
option
would
be,
you
know
to
create
the
mechanism
for
workers
to
request
a
training
and
then
the
city
could
could
also
sort
of
request
or
or
offer
to
give
that
training
but
they're
under
current
law.
You
know
some
employers
would
be
like
no
you're,
not
welcome
to
do
the
training
it's
expensive
and
and
that
that's
probably
where
it
would
end
in
some
in
some
cases.
So
anyway,
I
think
it's
a
great
idea
and
I'll
I'll
stop.
There.
D
All
right
so
at
the
at
the
state
level,
just
a
quick
update,
the
the
state
they
didn't
pass.
They
earmarked
250
million
dollars
for
frontline
worker
pay
and
set
up
a
working
group,
basically
punted
to
a
working
group,
to
figure
out
how
to
distribute
that
money.
D
D
The
three
hundred
dollars
that
folks
on
unemployment
insurance
were
getting
during
the
pandemic,
and
the
latter
was
important.
That
pandemic
ui
was
very
important
for
people
and
was
a
lifeline.
But
the
point
I'm
making
here
is
that
we
need
to
we're
going
to
be
working
to
set
up
the
case
that
250
million
is
insufficient
for
these
workers,
and
so
what
they
didn't
do,
however,
was
to
require.
D
Emergency
leave
be
offered;
they
wouldn't
even
require
it
of
businesses.
The
senate
refused
to
even
require
it
of
businesses
who
still
qualify
for
a
tax
credit,
a
dollar
for
dollar
tax
credit
for
offering
it
so
as
a
result,
they're
leaving
millions
of
dollars
of
federal
tax
credits
on
the
table
that
could
have
gone
to
workers
who
needed
to
take
time
off
for
covid
purposes,
whether
they
needed
to
quarantine
or
be
tested
or
get
vaccinated,
or
you
know
care
for
a
quarantined
family
member
so
unfortunately
didn't
happen.
D
D
What
the
city
can
do
to
support
its
essential
workers
who've
been
because
what
I
like
to
say
is
look.
We
rightly
helped
folks
who
were
unemployed
with
additional
resources
through
fundamental
pandemic
unemployment
insurance.
We
helped
businesses
significantly
with
resources,
including
tax
breaks
on
their
forgiven
ppp
loans,
for,
in
some
cases
very
in
some
cases,
not,
but
in
some
cases
very
profitable.
D
Businesses
received
ppp
loans
because
the
republicans
were
unwilling
to
target
those
tax
breaks,
and
but
what
we
haven't
done
is
help
those
who
were
still
on
the
job
making
sure
we
could
all
stay
safe
and
healthy
and
fed
throughout
the
pandemic.
So
I
do
know
that,
for
example,
the
city
extended
its
own
emergency
leave
policy
for
its.
F
D
Either
emergency
leave
for
workers
who
haven't
been
receiving
it
a
requirement
that
that
employers
offer
that,
for
these
very
specific
covid
related
purposes
or
we
should
be
or
and
or
we
should
be,
making
an
argument
for
a
portion
of
the
city's
rescue
plan
dollars
to
go
to
frontline
workers,
because
the
the
rules
for
the
arp
dollars
for
the
city
are
the
same
essentially
as
those
for
the
state
and
so
premium.
D
D
F
Brent
brian,
this
is
kate.
I
have
a
question
on
that.
How
did
how
does
ffcra
intersect
with
that?
Because
you
know
like
we
used
ffcra
a
huge
amount
in
terms
of
helping
cover
time
for
people,
whether
they
had
covert
or
they
had
to
take
care
of
a
child
or
even
uncover
the
vaccine?
And
so
is
there
any
realm
of
like
technical
assistance
to
help
businesses
know
how
to
access
that
ffcra,
because
I've
heard
a
lot
of
businesses
not.
D
Yes,
I.
F
D
That's
that's
a
key
part
of
what
we
need
to
be
talking
about,
because,
as
you're
pointing
out
kate
right,
it
was
extended
under
the
the
tax
break
was
extended
under
the
rest.
D
You
know
american
rescue
plan
and
and
still
exists
through
the
end
of
september,
unless
it
is
extended
for
all
public
employers
and
for
private
employers
of
under
500
workers,
and
so
a
piece
of
that
as
you're
saying
is
you
know
the
so
a
part
of
this
question
is
how
do
we
ensure
that
workers
whose
employers
get
a
dollar
for
dollar
tax
credit
are
accessing
this
tax
credit
and
part
of
that
is
figuring
out
very
quickly?
D
What
are
the
hurdles
and
you're
raising
a
very
important
one,
which
is
just
understanding
how
to
you
know
just
understanding
the
process
of
you
know
when
you
offer
these?
How
do
you
get
that
tax
break
from
you
know,
which
is
current?
You
know
which,
in
this
iteration,
is
a
deduction
against
your
your
medicare
payroll
taxes.
D
So
how
do
you
act
right
so
so
a
piece
of
that
is
technical
support.
There
is
another
piece
of
this
for
a
lot
of
workers
who
work
at
private
employers
of
over
or
of
500
or
more,
whose
employers
didn't
get
access
to
the
tax
credit
and
some
of
whom
offered
their
workers.
This
leave
and
others
did
not,
and
so
you
know,
for
example,
you
know
the
the
contractors
that
employ
the
janitorial
contractors
that
employ
a
lot
of
my
members.
D
Basically
just
said:
you're
sol,
you
know
you
can
use
your
own
leave
if
you
get
coveted
or
if
you
have
to
care
for
a
family,
member
or
or
anything
like
that
and
the
other
piece
that
we
know
that
I'll
just
mention
and
then
I'll
stop
talking
is
that
you
know
there
is
a.
There
is
a
public
health
piece
to
this.
We
know
that
you
know
and
I'm
not
talking
about
anti-vaxxers,
but
there
are
people
who
would
get
vaccinated
but
are
frankly,
very
concerned
about
the
potential
for
missing
work.
D
They've
heard
about
people
having
side
effects
from
the
you
know,
temporary
symptoms
from
the
second
from
the
booster
shots
and
so
they're
they're
just
afraid
to
get
vaccinated
because
they
cannot
afford
to
miss
a
day
or
two
of
work
and
especially
for
businesses
that
have
access
to
the
tax
credit.
D
This
is
an
allowable
use,
is
you
know,
for
people
to
get
vaccinated,
and
so
some
of
the
lower
vaccination
rates
that
we
see
it
are
concentrated
in
low-wage
communities,
low-wage
worker
communities
and
and
the
the
thought
of
missing
pay
to
get
vaccinated
is
a
hurdle
that
we
know.
Workers
are
encountering
so
so
so
there's
a
bunch
of
pieces
to
this,
and
it's
pr-
it
probably
warrants
us
getting
together.
D
F
F
Be
happy
to
be
a
part
of
that
subcommittee
because
I
think
ffcra
is
really
complicated.
I
mean
we,
we
heavily
relied
on
our
payroll
service
provider
in
terms
of
how
to
do
ffcra,
because
there's
a
lot
of
nuance
there
yeah,
so
I'd
be
happy
to
be
a
part
of
that
subcommittee,
and
I
think
one
of
the
issues
we've
been
facing
too,
is
that
as
vaccinations
have
been
available
for
those
staff
that
are
not
getting
vaccinated.
Where
do
you?
Where
can
you
still
use
ffcra
or
not?
F
Right
with
that
being
said,
I'd
be
happy
to
be
a
part
of
the
subcommittee,
because
I
think
we've
dealt
with
a
lot
of
the
technicalities
of
it
and
also
where
fstra
has
not
provided
coverage
and
we
went
above.
We
covered
people's
time
off
related
covet
if
they
had
exhausted
the
ffcra
benefit.
D
D
A
an
ex
quarantine
after
an
exposure
and
then
just
suffering
covet
yeah,
so
yeah.
Thank
you.
F
If
your
children
aren't
able
to
be
vaccinated,
they
are
still
at
risk,
and
so
you
still
may
need
ffcra,
because
you
know
your
five-year-old
isn't
that
training
yet,
for
example,
the
other
piece
I'd
add
is
that
we
really
worked
closely
with
the
minneapolis
department
of
health
around
vaccination
to
come
out
and
educate
ourselves
figure
out
how
we
could
get
them
access
to
vaccines,
etc.
So
they'd
be
another
stakeholder
to
maybe
include
in
this
conversation.
They've
been
really
helpful
to
us.
That'd.
A
Yeah
we
worked
closely
with
department
of
health
to
get
vaccinations
out
into
some
of
the
underrepresented
industries
as
well.
I
wonder
if
this
is
an
opportunity
to
coordinate
with
btap
on
something
too.
B
Always
I
like
hearing
I
like
hearing
bta
yeah.
I
think
that
that
was
on
one
of
the
on
the
list
of
recommendations
and
I
apologize
for
not
sending
it
around
yet
I'll.
Send
it
around
as
soon
as
the
meeting
is
over
and
davis
had
the
great
idea
in
one
of
our
meetings
previously
of
of
recommending.
B
I
guess
more,
an
additional
btap
training
for
employers
around
all
of
this
all
of
this
stuff,
and
I
think
that
that
could
potentially
be
a
mechanism
that
the
city
would
use
to
address.
Kate's
comments
around
well,
how
the
heck
do
you
actually
access
the
tax
credits
because
yeah,
I
would
imagine
that
is
a
barrier.
D
Awesome,
so
would
it
be
possible
for
you
or
ashley
to
send
around
a
an
invite
for
a
meeting
in
the
you
know
next
couple
weeks.
B
Yeah
absolutely
the
other
thing
is
that
the
city
council
in
when
it
created
the
downtown
workers
subcommittee,
it
also
directed.
B
I
guess
it
was
staff,
but
really
directed
the
subcommittee
to
bring
forward
recommendations
by
the
end
of
july,
which
is
which
is
now.
I
mean.
C
And
that's
the
I
did
like
that's
the
the
the
recommendations
that
I
brought
forward.
That's
the
that's
the
proposal
to
go
forward
and
I
did
miss
that
I
apologize
for
that
brian
and
davis,
whose
idea
it
was
of
of
yeah
like
including
in
there
like
the
same
way
that
you
know
that
that
workers
that
employees
can
request
the
training
like
employers
could
too,
but
that
that
it
be
tap
actually
be.
You
know,
thinking
about
you
know,
taking
the
responsibility
for
leading
those.
G
And
this
is
davis,
and
I
just
want
to
say
I.
I
will
make
sure
that
when
we
have
like
the
vtap
meetings
about
like
top
when
that
comes
up,
I
will
make
sure
to
say
like
this
also
needs
to
be
educating
employees
too,
like
because
I
feel
like
it
that
part
could
easily
get
lost
when
we
flip
it
over
to
the
btap
side.
So
I
will
be
our
our
our
spy.
If
you
will
into
the
beta
conversation.
B
Thank
you,
davis,
yeah,
and
that
would
I
mean
that's
another
option
or
another
mechanism
is
to
actually
fund
the
training
of
employees
or
workers
through
vtab.
I
don't
know
I
mean
that.
G
They
totally
could
I
mean
it.
I
feel
like
a
lot
of
those
businesses
would
be
that
that
work
through
b,
like
I
feel
like
well,
it's
like
the
ones
who
who
need
it
probably
wouldn't
be
the
ones
who
are
like
yeah
sure
come
on
in,
but
maybe
that
would
put
enough
pressure
on
to
say
like
to
some,
but
I
think
it's
not
a
bad
idea
to
just
say:
hey,
maybe
that
should
be
part
of
because
the
mayor
already
earmarked
money
for
btap
in
the
arpa
funds.
So.
B
C
And
I
do
I
the
one
thing
I
wonder
is
so
like
you
know,
btap
and
the
whole
of
cped
clearly
has
a
much
much
larger
budget
and
kind
of
capacity
than
than
the
labor
standards
enforcement
division,
which
to
me,
then,
is
like
a
plus
of
like
thinking
about
how
can
that
money
and
those
city
resources
support
this
work.
C
But
the
thing
I
do
wonder
about
is
like
you
and
your
team
brian,
have
expertise
in
like
engaging
workers
in
a
way,
that's
kind
of
different
from
sort
of
the
purpose
of
cped
that
I
would
want
to
like.
I
don't
want
to
think
about.
C
Where
does
the
sort
of
bottom
lining
of
like?
What's
the
curriculum
and
like
how
what's
the
process
like?
Where
does
that
live,
because
I
think
that
is
different,
you
know,
and
I
think
we're
seeing
that
too,
a
little
bit
with
the
with
with
the
swap
ordinance
and
like
them,
trying
to
figure
out
how
to
work
with
the
public
health.
Is
the
public
health
like
working
on
public
health
use
the
health
department?
C
B
B
I
don't
know
I
don't
know,
there's
a
lot
of
possibilities
so
vero
these
are
the
recommendations
that
the
downtown
workers
subcommittee
are
bringing
forward.
What
what
did
you
need?
What
do
you
need
from
this
from
the
entire
committee
here
tonight?
Just
is
it
just.
B
Let
everyone
know
that
this
is
what
is
going
to
be
presented
or.
C
Yeah
I
mean
I
guess
I
would
want
to
hear
if
people
have
any
concerns
like
if
this
sounds
right
to
folks.
If,
if
there
are,
you
know
like,
obviously
these
are
the
things
that
come
from
workers
who
are
like
living
on
the
front
lines
and
like
have
a
particular
lens
on
this,
but
just
hearing
like
if
people
have
any
concerns
about
it,
people
are
excited
about
it
like
how
this
committee,
you
know
this
overall
just
feels
about
it.
E
I
had
a
quick
question
for
clarification
on
the
the
rescue
money
going
to
minneapolis.
I
saw
the
did
the
mayor
outline
where
he
wanted
to
spend
that
already
and
is
there
I
don't
think
it's
set.
Yet,
though,
does
the
council
have
to
approve
that
or
is
there
an
open
ability
to
sort
of,
because
I
think
brian
mentioned,
maybe
putting
some
of
that
either
towards
this
emergency
leave
portion
outside
of
the
tax
credit
potentially
or
to
put
towards
supplementing
what
the
state
has
now
do?
E
B
And
that's
I'll
jump
in
that's
a
great
and
somebody
might
know
more
than
me.
That's
a
great
question,
elise.
I
know
that
the
mayor
put
forward
a
plan
and
I
think
the
council
just
acted
on
that
plan
late
last
week.
I
don't
know,
I
don't
know
if
if
that
was
the
end
of
the
process
or
what
what
comes
next,
I'm
not
I'm
not
sure,
but
the
council
took
some
action
on
that
plan.
I
think
it
was
just
friday.
Just
a
few
days
ago,.
E
E
Was
going
to
supplement,
maybe
community
safety
efforts
or
some
of
the
you
know
some
of
these
other
efforts
downtown?
But
I
I
didn't
see
the
full
scope
just
wondering
if
there
was
some
wiggle
room
there
for
some
of
these
programs
still
or
the
trainings
or
you
know
you
know,
as
we
look
for
additional
budget
can
if
we
can
supplement
that.
E
B
Think
well,
I'm
guessing
that,
even
though
you
know
that
there
are
these
sort
of
broad
outlines
from
the
mayor
and
then
whatever
the
council
approved,
there's
a
lot
of
money
suddenly
moving
through.
I
think
brian
just
called
it
the
arpathon
and
he
if,
when
he
comes
back,
he
might
know
about
the
procedure
of
it
more
than
me,
but
to
your
point
at
least
even
if
it
was
already
sort
of
divvied
up,
I
think
they're
just
sort
of
broad
categories
that
are
identified
for
it.
A
I
just
posted
some
stuff
in
the
chat.
The
city
actually
has
a
pretty
good
overview
website
at
that
link,
and
I
think
the
one
thing
to
be
clear
about
arp
funding
is
like
this
is
just
the
first
of
like
several
phases.
A
E
A
Just
put
in
here
like
phase
one,
which
is
what
I
think
the
might
be,
what
the
council
acted
on,
and
then
this
tells
a
little
bit
of
timeline
for
phase
two
and
the
website.
E
E
A
So
we
have
these
broad
recommendations
from
the
downtown
work
workers.
Are
we
calling
it
a
council
or
a
committee
council
committee.
A
Do
we
want
to
take
a
vote
on
these
themes,
knowing
that
this
is
still
being
developed?
As
you
know,
like
you
know,
these
are
the
themes
that
we're
going
to
put
forward
to
the
city
council
and
we're
going
to
work
together.
You
know
it's
a
rapidly
changing
environment,
so
we
know
things
could
come
back
to
be
edited,
but
do
we
want
to
take
a
vote
on
these
four
themes?
The
and
I
have
to
go
back
to
it:
emergency
emergency
extension
of
sick
and
safe
time,
training,
programs,
funding
and
business
licensing
enforcement.
A
I
mean,
I
guess
I
would
request
that
we
take
a
vote
that
it's
okay
to
start
moving
these
along,
but
knowing
that,
at
this
time,
they're
just
sort
of
draft
recommendations.
A
Do
you
want
to
do
that?
I
I
don't
think
I
can
make
that
motion
as
a
chair,
but
I
can
well.
I
probably
I
don't
know
what
robert's
rules
of
orders
you
all
fall
follow,
but,
as
chair
I
would
prefer
somebody
else
made
that
motion
you
can
use
my
verbiage
if
you
like.
C
A
So
it's
been
moved
and
seconded.
Is
there
any
discussion
from
the
committee.
A
Okay,
so
we
haven't
had
to
take
a
formal
vote
over
zumba,
yet
with
this
committee
at
least,
I
have
in
lots
of
other
committees,
but
not
this
one,
and
I
think
ashley
you
told
me
when
we
did
this,
we
had
to
have
people
actually
individually
record
their
votes.
Is
that
correct.
B
Ashley
would
you
mind,
I
think,
we're
ready,
then,
unless
there's
any
discussion
I'll,
maybe
give
up
another
brief
pause.
Now,
it's
your
chance.
If
anyone
wants
to
discuss
anything
whatsoever
and
then
actually
maybe
you
could
just
call
go
down
the
members
who
are
present
and
ask
them
to
state
their
name
and
their
and
their
vote.
A
A
G
You're,
fine,
kate
davenport,
your
vote.
Yes,
brian,
oh,
is
brian
back
yet
brian
elliott.
E
G
A
A
Thanks
all
for
going
through
that.
A
A
I
Well,
thank
you
so
much
chelsea
hi
everybody
again.
My
name
is
sunu
sresta,
I'm
the
cities,
senior
advisor,
managing
the
portfolio
on
human
trafficking
and
exploitation,
which
includes
both
sex
trafficking
and
labor
trafficking,
and
the
exploitation
includes
sexual
exploitation
and
labor
exploitation.
I
I'm
very
pleased
to
be
with
you,
I
think,
before
we
jump
into
the
blueprint.
I
I
also
want
to
very
quickly
note
that
my
office,
one
person
office,
my
program
or
initiative,
still
sits
in
the
city
coordinator's
office,
but
like
with
all
other
initiatives
and
programs.
It's
still
in
that
incubation
phase,
and
in
some
months
that
might
change
so
just
a
side.
Note
once
again,
thank
you
so
much
for
providing
us
this
time
and
opportunity
to
come
and
give
you
an
update
on
the
blueprint.
I
We
are
very
thankful
for
the
time
that
you
allowed
us
back
in
january
of
2021.
Just
some
months
ago,
where,
when
we
came
and
presented
on
the
findings,
a
very
comprehensive
findings
and
recommendations
that
were
outlined
after
a
series
of
consultations
with
internal
and
external
stakeholders,
and,
like
I
stated
in
that
meeting
and
for
and
other
meetings
previously
as
well
when
I
just
joined
the
city,
it
has
been
a
three
year
long
process.
I
I
If
you
have
any
concerns,
if
you've,
if
you've
had
a
chance
to
read
it,
it's
a
pretty
lengthy
document,
which
is
why
we
also
tried
to
break
it
down
into
different
versions.
I
One
is
a
summarized
version
of
the
framework
for
action,
which
is
primarily
a
consolidated
recommendations
and
the
one
pager,
which
is
what
we
are
hoping
that
many
of
us
can
use,
as
we
are
talking
with
our
council
members
and
the
mayors
in
terms
of
these
recommendations
and
how
we
see
that
apply
into
our
work
in
the
city
department,
especially
here
in
this
case,
civil
rights
department,
labor
standards,
enforcement
contract,
compliance,
a
complaint,
investigation,
etc.
I
So,
again,
like
I
stated,
we've
submitted
the
recommendations,
I'm
still
very
unsure
about
what
the
next
step
is
or
are
things
are
happening
at
a
lightning
speed
and
at
times
they
are
very
slow.
But
just
after
the.
I
But
after
the
submission
of
the
blueprint,
councilman
mcconnell
took
the
opportunity
to
utilize
the
blueprint
to
ask
for
650
000
dollars
to
provide
services
for
victims
of
human
trafficking
and
exploitation
through
the
arpa
and
council
member
cunningham
joined
councilman
volcano
to
draft
an
amendment
to
the
mayor's
budget,
and
fortunately,
we
had
all
13
votes
to
see
the
successful
passes
of
the
amendment.
I
I
So
that
is
one
way
I
see
this
blueprint
being
implemented
in
the
city.
The
next
is
again
drafting
a
full
fledged
budget
for
the
implementation
of
the
blueprint,
which
is
where
I
think
I
will
not.
I
think,
but
I
will
come
back
to
you
to
seek
your
suggestion
and
guidance
as
to
what
you
see
is
applicable
in
your
work,
especially
for
this
council.
I
What
you
see,
what
you've
already
seen
that
some
of
the
needs
that
just
recently
I
heard
from
vero
presenting
on
the
downtown
downtown
workers,
community
and
some
of
the
recommendations.
I
could
already
hear
some
of
the
crossover
between.
What's
what's
the
recommendations
there
are
and
some
of
the
recommendations
in
the
blueprint
as
well,
and
of
course,
we
talked
with
similar
folks
during
our
own
process.
So
obviously
the
recommendations
will
be
fairly
similar,
the
overall
lars
recommendations.
I
But
if
there
are
any
other
recommendations
that
I,
as
the
city,
staff
and
person
advancing,
this
work
in
the
city
can
uplift
from
your
own
recommendations
or
if
there
are
any
other
recommendations
that
you
think
would
fit.
While
you
are
talking
with
the
council
or
the
mayor,
please
do
let
me
know,
which
is
why
I'm
here,
to
seek
your
support,
and
I'm
also
here
to
offer
my
support
and
any
help
that
you
need
from
me
I'll.
Stop
it
there
and
I'll.
I
Let
madeline
add
anything
that
I
may
have
missed
or
any
other
recommendations
things
that
she
would
like
to
highlight.
H
I
think
suno,
you
did
a
pretty
good
job
of
giving
an
overview.
You
know
I'm
especially
thrilled
that
the
the
blueprint
immediately
turned
into
money,
which
never
happens,
and
so
I
feel,
like
we've,
got
real
actual
leadership
here
on
the
part
of
the
city.
I
just
want
to
say
I
was
meeting
for
a
totally
different
reason
with
a
group
of
survivors
today,
and
one
of
them
talked
about
how
she
was
nearly
in
tears.
H
Listening
to
the
mayor,
talk
about
housing
for
people
with
barriers,
including
prostitution,
convictions
and
other
misdemeanor
convictions,
and
how
it
felt
like
her
words
that
had
been
incorporated
into
the
blueprint
had
turned.
She
was
hearing
them
from
someone
in
power,
actually
recognizing
her
needs
and
her
desires,
and
you
know
her
policy
analysis
that
had
never
happened
before
in
her
opinion
and
she
was
like
really
deeply
moved
and
so
thrilled
to
have
been
part
of
this
process.
H
So
this
is
something
that
I
think
the
city
can
be
really
really
proud
of,
and
I
think
we
want
to
keep
the
momentum
going
here
that
that
sunu
has
done
a
really
fantastic
job
of
leading
us
through
the
city
process.
And
hopefully
we
can
get
some
pretty
significant
commitment
from
city
departments
to
carry
out
the
work.
I
mean
we're.
H
Think
grateful
for
everything
civil
rights
has
done
as
being
one
of
our
champions
here
and
and
so
hopefully
we
can
keep
that.
H
I
So
with
that,
I
think
I
will,
and
we
will
just
stop
it
here
to
see
if
you
have
any
questions,
especially
about
the
next
process.
One
thing
I
would
like
to
note
is
that
in
in
the
previous
times
or
earlier
with
any
sort
of
studies
commissioned
by
the
city,
I've
seen
what
was
in
fashion
was
people
who
the
staff
who
were
responsible
to
do
the
studies.
Any
research
after
the
composition
of
the
project
went
before
the
city
council
and
presented
on
it
presented
on
the
findings.
I
If
the
city
council,
member,
any
members
or
city
council
asked
what
would
it
take
to
implement
the
recommendations,
the
staff
would
go
back
and
work
with
the
staff,
their
team
and
would
go
back
in
front
of
the
city
council
and
did
a
presentation
on
the
budget.
But
this
time
my
supervisor,
the
city
corps
meeters
of
city
coordinators
office.
They
are
trying
to
do
it
differently.
So
they've
asked
me.
I
was
really
hoping
to
do
a
presentation.
I
had
hoped
that
we
would
be.
I
We
would
be
provided
an
opportunity
to
do
a
presentation
because,
especially
external
stakeholders,
they
really
wanted
some
kind
of
face-to-face
interaction
with
city
council
to
see
where
they
stood
with
some
of
their
recommendations,
just
to
hear
their
and
see
their
reactions.
But
unfortunately
I
would
have
to
hold
off
on
that
for
now,
because
we
are
trying
to
do
things
a
little
a
little
differently.
I
So
I
would
have
to
draft
a
guesstimate
of
what
it
would
take
to
implement
the
blueprint
and
then
present
it
in
front
of
the
city
council
present
the
full
recommendations
on
policies
on
what
are
some
of
the
best
practices
that
the
city
should
implement
and
then
also
what
it
would
take
to
implement
some
of
the
ideas
and
programs
and
activities
that
are
outlined
in
the
blueprint.
I
So
that
would
have
to
certainly
wait,
but
that
doesn't
mean
that
you,
as
the
committee
and
the
council,
shouldn't
be
allowed
to
present
on
what's
applicable,
to
your
work.
When
you
are
doing
your
presentations
are
brian.
Even
when
you
are
putting
together
your
report.
If
there
are
anything
that
you
would
want
to
take
from
the
blueprint,
please
do
feel
free.
I
So
this
is
exactly
what
we
or
I
have
intended
it
to
be
for
all
of
us
to
use
this
document
as
a
guide
as
a
blueprint,
as
the
name
suggests
and
solidify
our
voices
in
making
these
asks
from
our
elected
leadership.
A
I
would
love
to
see
a
like
breakdown
of
this
one
pager.
Is
it
actually
one
page
one
page
back
in
front?
There's
one
pager.
I
love
that
you
stretch
it
to
the
two
sides,
maybe
with
some
highlighting
of
these
different
foundational
goals
that
do
have
overlap
with
the
work
of
this
committee.
A
I
mean,
I
think
you
could
argue
a
lot
of
it
does
but
like
what
specifically
you
know,
can
we
pull
out
of
this,
that
you
know
directly
overlaps
with
our
work,
particularly
on
the
labor
trafficking
and
and
then
that
kind
of
thing,
so
that.
A
A
good
project-
I
know
everyone
has
a
lot
of
time
on
their
hands
to
do
something
like
that.
But
you
know
if
we
could
do
that
venn
diagram
of
what
overlaps
that
would
be
great.
A
All
right
other
questions
or
comments
from
the
committee,
brian
you're,
off
mute,
suno.
B
B
I
Elements
of
the
recommendations,
for
example,
we've
recommended
that
the
city
strengthens
its
enforcement,
so
I
would
have
to
stick
with
you.
Of
course,
madeleine
will
help
us
in
sort
of
seeing
through
what
that
actually
means
in
practice
and
asking
you
what
you
need
to
strengthen
the
enforcement.
Would
you
need
additional
person?
Would
you
need
more
training?
When
we
do
that
assessment,
then
we
would
attach
a
budget
to
you
budget
to
it.
I
If
you
need
additional
person,
what's
their
salary
would
be,
would
you
contract
with
somebody
else
if
stronger
enforcement
means
investing
in
external
contracts,
for
example
the
one
that
you
are
currently,
then
we
would
attach
that
money
with
it
once
I
have
sort
of
a
ballpark
ballpark
figure
of
what
that
would
be
for
majority
of
the
programs
and
services
that
we've
recommended
in
the
blueprint,
then
I
would
do
a
presentation.
I
It
doesn't
have
to
be
a
perfect
budget.
It's
never
going
to
be
a
perfect
budget,
because
I
myself
don't
know
what
would
some
of
these
programs
will
be?
We've
sort
of
generalized
some
of
the
programs
and
didn't
provide
specific
details
because
we
don't
want
to
because
some
it
would.
I
It
would
really
limit
us
in
being
innovative
when
we
limit
ourselves
and
narrow
it
down
so
much,
which
is
why
it's
going
to
be
a
process,
which
is
why,
when
I
sent
that
first
email
to
all
of
you,
especially
department
leaders,
supervisors
that
I'd
be
reaching
out
to
you
in
working
through
asking
in
working
through
these
details
and
asking
you
what
you
would
need
and
where
we
would
go
from
here,
is
going
to
be.
F
B
You
will
be,
you
will
be
presenting
eventually,
but
there's
still
there's
still
a
more
stages
here
and
a
lot
more
work
to
figure
out
the
the
budgeting
for
all
of
the
different
pieces.
In
the
current
recommendation.
I
I
So
so,
council
members
elected
officials
have
some
idea
as
to
what's
coming
and
they
all
have
the
document
they
know
what's
in
the
document,
but
perhaps
it's
sort
of
it's
it
sort
of
gives
them
a
preview
as
to
what's
coming
up
when
we
do
the
drafting
of
the
budget.
B
F
A
All
right,
I
think
that
concludes
this
portion
of
the
agenda,
so
thank
you
both
for
this
amazing
amount
of
work
that
you've
been
putting
into
this
project
and
it's
really
exciting
to
see
progress.
You
know,
so
it's
really
great
yeah.
A
Oh
well,
I
guess
that
is
the
end
of
our
agenda,
so
any
last
minute
announcements
before
we
wrap
up
all
right.
Well,
just
a
big
thank
you
to
the
team
at
the
department
of
labor
standards,
brian
and
ashley,
and
everyone.
I
know
you've
gone
through
a
lot
of
leadership
changes
there
and
this
committee
has
just
plugged
along
with
without
any
hiccups.
So
we
really
appreciate
it.
Thank
you
for
everything.
