Good
evening,
everyone,
my
name,
is
leslie
jackson.
I
am
on
the
leadership
team
of
the
northside
green
zone
task
force.
Before
we
begin,
I
would
like
to
note
that
this
meeting
includes
the
remote
participation
of
media
members
as
authorized
under
the
minnesota
statute.
Section
13d
.021
due
to
the
declare
of
health,
local
health,
pam
dennett,
the
city
will
be

its
means
to
public
access
and
transparency.
B
Board
meetings
are
public
and
subject
to
the
minnesota
open
meeting
law.
I
will
now
call
this
meeting
to
order.
I
will
also
ask
kelly
to
do
a
roll
call.
I
have
a
icebreaker
question
for
everyone
and
please
participate
when
your
name
is
called.
If
you
were
given
an
airline
ticket
to
anywhere
in
the
world
for
two
weeks,
all
excess
expenses
paid.
Yes,
all
expenses,
any
treats
gifts
or
anything
that
you
would
like
to
bring
by
it
will
be
free.
How
would
you
what
ticket?
Where
would
you
go
and
we're
interested?
Thank
you
and
kelly.
A
All
right
so,
first
up
I'm
going
to
go
through
north
side,
green
zone
task
force
members
and
then
we'll
do
guests
so
for
the
task
force
members,
please
say
you
know
here
or
present
indicate
that
you
are
here
and
then
you
can
do
your
name
pronouns
and
the
icebreaker.
So
I'll
start
with
andrew.
C
Starting
with
me,
andrew
he
him
and
present
icebreaker
would
be
man.
I
thought
I
was
gonna
have
some
time
on
that.
C
You
know
two
weeks,
all
all
paid,
probably
somewhere
warm,
that's
that's
the
best.
I
got
right
now,
some
somewhere
warm
where
it's
gonna
be
warm
that
whole
time,
but
where
exactly
I
don't
know
yet
so,
just
give
me
some
more
warmth.
D
Can
you
hear
me
yep,
okay,
great,
I
need
to
arena
davis.
If
I
had
the
opportunity,
I
would
go
to
hawaii.
A
E
F
Hey
everyone,
I'm
jackie,
you
see
her
pronouns.
F
G
Hi
joanne
present
I'm
going
to
the
southern
hemisphere
where
it's
springtime,
so
I'm
going
to
new
zealand
or
australia.
I
B
H
B
Okay,
I'm
having
problems.
Okay,
mine
would
be
the
canary
islands.
I
have
to
go
there
to
get
a
rock.
I
need
a
piece
of
the
kitten
every
island
to
add
to
my
collection.
L
Me
yes,
okay,
yeah
lars
I'm
here
and
I
would
like
to
go
to
jellyfish
lake
in
palu.
It's
like
this
little
island
like
landlocked,
it's
now
a
lake,
but
it
used
to
be
part
of
something
else,
but
it
trapped
a
bunch
of
jellyfish
in
there
there's
no
natural
predators.
So
it's
just
filled
with
like
millions
of
harmless
jellyfish
and
you
can
go
there
and
swim
in
it.
That's
mine.
M
N
It's
my
turn:
yes,
hi
everybody.
If
I
had
a
chance
to
go
somewhere,
it
would
be
to
atlanta,
where
I'm
going
for
thanksgiving
to
see
my
grandbabies.
My
twins
kayden
grace
and
carter
george,
so
I'm
gonna
go
and
hug
on
them
for
a
whole
week.
I'm
excited.
O
P
I'm
the
opposite
of
yolanda
and
I'm
always
first
with
the
name
of
angie.
So
but
I
had
some
warm
up
to
listen
to
I'm
angie
timmons.
I
work
for
hennepin,
county
environment
and
energy.
My
pronouns
are
she
her
and
I
would
really
love
to
go
to
that
place
in
mexico,
where
all
the
monarchs
go
to
that's,
where
I
want
to
go.
Q
Hi
there
fox
char
they
them.
I
work
at
the
mpca
good
to
see
some
familiar
faces.
I
think
I
would
also
probably
go
to
greece
or
or
somewhere
else
in
the
mediterranean,
because
my
wife
has
been
bothering
me
to
go
there.
It's
a
bucket
list
for
her,
so
I
guess
I
have
no
complaints.
We
can
I'll
go
I'll,
go
too.
R
S
Hey
everyone
I'm
chris
guenzel,
he
him
also
with
hennepin
county.
For
me,
I
would
go
to
southeast
asia,
cambodia
laws,
vietnam,.
T
I
my
computer
doesn't
like
microsoft.
Teams
takes
it
a
while
alone,
okay,
so
peggy
clark,
I'm
with
the
dfl
environmental
caucus.
I
lived
on
the
south
side
there
for
a
long
time,
and
now
I
live
north
side.
So
I've
been
attending
both
of
these
green
zone
meetings
and
are
we
supposed
to
talk
about
some
place?
We
want
to
travel
to
now
that
we
can
or.
T
U
Hi,
I'm
julia.
I
share
pronouns.
I
work
with
kelly
in
the
sustainability
division
and
if
I
had
an
all
expenses
paid
trip,
I
would
want
to
go
to
the
falkland
islands,
which
are
islands
off
the
coast
of
south
america
like
way
down
at
the
bottom,
and
I've
just
seen:
videos
and
pictures
and
they're,
so
beautiful
and
there's
penguins.
So
that's
where
I
want
to
go.
A
And
I
will
wrap
up.
I
am
kelly
mullman,
I
usually
her
pronouns.
I
work
in
the
city,
sustainability
office
and
I
staff
both
the
north
side
and
south
side
green
zone
advisory
committees.
I
the
first
one
that
came
to
mind,
was
alaska.
It's
been
on
my
bucket
list
and
I
would
love
to
just
go
hike.
Denali
do
all
the
great
things
and
it
looks
like
we
have
another
guest
who
joined
kevin
ding.
Do
you
want
to
introduce
yourself.
V
Yeah
sorry
I
was
I
was
in
here
earlier,
but
I,
my
internet
cut
off
yeah.
My
name
is
kevin
dang
and
I'm
part
of
the
north
minneapolis
problem
as
a
data
analyst.
So
I'm
still
new
with
everything
here.
So
I'm
just
a
guest
here
for
today.
B
Everyone
now
we
will
proceed
on
to
our
dinner
kelly,
will
post
and
copy
a
link
in
the
chat
it's
available
at
l,
I
m
s:
dot
minneapolis
mn.
B
Today
we
will
have
a
presentation
and
discussion
with
hennepin
county
and
their
natural
resource
plan.
Anita
will
open
with
the
conversation
about
air
monitoring
at
the
upper
harbor
terminal
site.
We
will
get
updates
on
the
community
air
monitoring
project
and
vote
on
a
letter
to
the
city
council
for
the
green
zone
budget
request.
We
will
end
with
announcements
and
open
space
to
name
the
items
for
the
future
meetings.
B
Thank
you
kelly.
Can
you
please
call
roko.
C
F
N
O
B
Wow,
thank
you.
Can
I
make
a
suggestion
next
time,
let's
mix
it
up
and
go
backwards
and
start
with
you,
we
don't
want
to
lose
her
okay.
So
now
I
will
turn
it
over
to
andrew
who
will
cover
the
few
north
side,
green
zone
task
group
norms
to
hold
ourselves
accountable
during
this
meeting.
Thank
you.
Everyone
for
coming
today.
C
Thanks
leslie,
so
guys,
I'm
just
going
to
run
through
a
couple
of
these.
We
kind
of
paired
it
down
from
from
a
long
list.
I
might
you
guys
may
remember
me
reading
through
on
a
previous
meeting,
so
this
is
this
is
kind
of
what
we've
set
forward
for
ourselves,
just
a
reminder,
as
we
go
through
a
couple
of
these.
So
especially
as
we
have
guessed
it's
it's
an
important
important
for
us
to
remember.
So
this
is
a
public
discussion.
C
C
No
one
or
two
individuals
should
dominate
the
discussion.
So
if
you've
already
voiced
your
ideas,
let
others
have
an
opportunity,
and
when
you
speak
be
brief
and
to
the
point
and
to
that
one
person
should
speak
at
a
time,
refrain
from
side
conversations
pay
attention
to
the
person.
Speaking,
if
you
think
you'll
forget
an
idea
comes
to
mind,
just
write
it
down
and
come
back
to
it.
C
Do
your
best
to
understand
the
pros
and
cons
of
every
option,
not
just
those
you
prefer
be
as
subjective
and
fair-minded
as
you
can
be
and
ask
questions
to
see
clarification
when
you
don't
understand
the
meaning
of
someone's
comments.
We
also
want
to
try
and
just
reduce
individual
comments
from
to
three
minutes.
Five
minutes
gets
to
a
little
bit
of
a
dominating
point,
so
we'll
do
our
best
to
keep
them
in
three
minutes.
N
F
All
right,
as
we
meet
here
today,
we
give
thanks
to
the
land
for
providing
our
meeting
ground
wherever
we
may
actually
be
on
the
other
side
of
our
screens.
We
give
thanks
to
the
dakota
and
ojibwe
people
for
their
land
stewardship
practices
that
have
kept
the
land
fertile
and
the
river
flowing
since
time
immemorial.
F
R
All
right
thanks
just
give
me
one
minute.
While
I
get
the
screen
share
up.
V
R
Yes,
yeah?
Yes,
okay.
First
of
all,
I
just
wanted
to
say
good
evening
and
thank
you
so
much
for
inviting
us
to
the
northside
green
zone
council
meeting.
We
are
very
grateful
for
your
time
and
participation
in
the
work
that
we're
trying
to
do
to
update
our
natural
resource
strategic
plan.
R
My
name
is
christine
maurer
and
I'm
a
senior
ecologist
at
hennepin
county
and
I'm
joined
tonight
by
my
colleagues,
angie
timmons
and
chris
gunzel
angie
is
the
supervisor
for
education
and
outreach
group
and
chris
serves
as
a
senior
water
resource
specialist
in
the
land
and
water
unit.
With
myself
tonight
we
are
excited
to
share
with
you
the
work
we
are
leading
to
update
our
natural
resource
strategic
plan.
This
plan
update
will
guide
the
work
that
we
do
over
the
next
decade.
R
It
is
also
our
first
opportunity
to
incorporate
climate
and
disparity
reduction
goals
passed
by
our
county
board
over
the
next
15
minutes.
We
will
share
with
you
what
natural
resources
are
in
hennepin
county,
their
value,
some
of
the
work
that
we
currently
do
to
serve
natural
resources
in
the
county.
R
What
the
strategic
plan
is
all
about,
how
we
are
facilitating
the
update
and
conducting
outreach
some
of
our
initial
results
of
these
first
phase
efforts
and
then
hope
to
spend
quite
a
bit
of
time,
engaging
with
you
on
what
you
care
about
and
hope
to
see
from
us
in
the
future
and
can
include
in
this
plant.
R
R
The
first
thing
we
wanted
to
do
was
provide
a
land
acknowledgement
which
is
not
nearly
as
robust
and
thoughtful
as
the
one
that
was
just
read.
We
are
currently
in
the
process
of
working
with
staff
internally,
who
are
from
many
of
the
tribes
that
occupy
hennepin
county
to
develop
a
more
robust
and
specific
acknowledgement,
but
in
general
we
are
on
the
sacred
lands
of
the
dakota
nation,
particularly
those
of
the
metatawakitan
tribe.
The
lands
occupy
here
in
hennepin
county
was
stolen
through
disingenuous
treaties
and
genocide.
R
R
R
R
We
first
engage
the
community
in
protecting
water
quality.
This
involves
oftentimes
working
with
volunteers
through
things
like
the
master
water
steward
program
or
working
with
lake
associations,
watersheds
and
cities,
which
is
a
lot
of
the
work
that
chris
works
on.
We
also
work
extensively
on
preventing
the
spread
of
invasive
species.
R
We
have
easement
programs
and
grants
that
help
to
protect
these
areas
forever,
so
that
they're
there
for
the
future
and
future
generations
and
also
to
help
restore
these
areas
and
enhance
these
habitat
places
so
that
they
are
improved
for
not
just
water
quality
and
carbon
sequestration,
but
also
for
the
variety
of
rare
threatened
and
endangered
species
that
do
occupy
hennepin
county.
Still.
To
this
day,
we
offer
quite
a
few
funding
and
technical
assistance
programs
through
grants
and
also
through
cost
share
programming.
R
We
offer
programs
to
help
diversif
diversify
our
tree
canopy
through
our
foresters.
R
So
what
is
the
natural
resource
strategic
plan?
So
I've
talked
a
lot
about
what
natural
resources
are,
what
they
mean
and
some
of
the
work
that
we
do
currently
around
natural
resources
in
hennepin
county.
The
strategic
plan
is
really
our
outline.
It's
our
guidebook
for
the
work
that
happens
in
our
unit
in
hennepin
county.
It
helps
us
to
understand
staffing
and
resource
needs
and
the
priorities
of
our
work.
R
It's
also
like
I
mentioned
in
the
introduction,
serves
as
a
guidebook
for
the
next
decade
of
our
work
and,
most
importantly,
I
think,
in
my
opinion,
is
an
opportunity
to
infuse
goals
related
to
climate
change
and
disparity
reduction
that
have
never
been
integrated
into
our
natural
resource
resources,
strategic
planning
in
the
past-
and
I
think
this
is
where
we
switched
over
chris.
I
can't
remember.
S
Yeah,
I
can
take
this
and
I'll
just
kind
of
briefly
go
over
this
like
there's
a
lot
going
on
here,
but
the
intent
of
this
isn't
to
do
the
plan
in
the
next
month
or
the
next
week.
The
intent
is
to
work
on
this
over
the
next
year
or
so
actually
a
year
plus.
So
we
have
a
lot
of
work.
We
have
to
do
we're
in
just
finishing
the
information
gathering
stage.
Moving
on
to
development
all
right,
I
got
my
dog
trying
to
get
my
lap
from
here.
S
We
want
to
talk
more
with
the
public
but
review
some
of
the
information
we
got
during
our
outreach
and
the
items
you
see
outlined
in
orange
are
areas
we
intend
to
either
have
done
outreach
or
will
continue
to
outreach
to
the
planning
process
right
now.
We're
meeting
with
members
of
the
public
like
in
these
meetings
meeting
with
a
lot
of
our
critical
partners
at
the
state
at
local
governments
and
we'll
be
condensing
that
information
into
goals
and
objectives
and
then
really
the
planned
content
that
exists
in
the
plan.
S
S
One
new
initiative-
I'm
really
excited
to
undertake
here,
is
really
looking
at
a
lot
of
our
programming
through
an
equity
lens.
It's
not
something.
We've
done
really
holistically
across
all
of
our
programs.
We've
done
individual
programs,
but
not
across
everything,
and
we're
using
a
ratio,
equity
impact
tool
kit
to
do
that.
The
crux
of
it
really
is
to
understand
for
the
programming
that
we
have
and
that
we
intend
to
have
what
are
the
both
intended
and
unintended
consequences
of
each
of
the
strategies
and
actions
that
we
have.
S
Does
it
truly
benefit
all
members
of
the
community,
or
does
it
selectively
benefit
some
over
others?
A
classic
example
would
be
like
for
the
work.
I
do
a
lot
of
resources.
If
I
pick
to
work
on
one
lake
versus
another,
am
I
preferentially
choosing
that
work
over
another?
Am
I
losing
opportunity
to
work
with
folks
at
the
other
lake,
because
I'm
selectively
choosing
one
for
whatever
reason
and
trying
to
think
more
holistically
about
how
we,
how
we
implement
goals
and
actions
is
really
intense.
S
S
So
we've
done
a
ton
of
engagement
work
so
far
from
summer.
Through
this
point
of
fall,
our
engagement
early
intended
to
focus
on
online
work,
obviously
we're
in
a
global
pandemic.
So
we
wanted
to
limit
the
amount
of
in-person
interactions
we
had
to
have.
We
focused
on
online
surveys,
emails
and
other
social
media
outreach.
S
We
made
all
our
materials
available
any
language
by
by
request,
but
made
sure
to
make
it
available
in
four
languages-
english,
spanish,
somali
and
hmong-
and
we
had
a
lot
of
success
for
that
online
survey.
We've
talked
over
200
people
through
that
and
obviously
other
interactions
through
social
media.
S
We
also
want
to
do
tabling
events
through
our
early
online
work.
We've
we
found
that
the
audiences
were
audiences,
we're
hearing
from
tended
to
be
more
suburban,
more
urban
white.
We
wanted
to
make
sure
we
did
community
events
we
heard
from
other
members
of
the
public
that
were
represented
so
far
in
our
online
work.
You.
S
Right-Hand
side,
some
of
the
events
that
we've
done,
these
tend
to
focus
in
minneapolis
brooklyn
park,
bloomington
communities
we
hadn't
heard
from
yet
and
in
rural
areas
of
the
county,
the
corporate
and
medina
that
weren't
represented
in
our
survey.
And
lastly,
these
kind
of
meetings
with
community
groups
either
one-on-one
or
you
know,
in
a
bigger
audience.
We
actually
just
had
one
with
michael
last
month
with
project
sweetiepie.
That
was
really
great.
A
couple
other
members
of
of
community
work
in
north
minneapolis.
S
So
I
wanted
to
highlight
one
of
the
things
we
heard
in
these
community
events,
and
you
can
see
one
of
the
tables
we
had
set
up.
This
was
at
river
park
in
brooklyn
park.
We
had
asked
members
of
the
public
to
vote
on
what
natural
resource
issues
were
most
critical
to
them.
I'd
asked
kelly
to
to
provide
this
in
some
of
the
meeting
materials
you
guys
had
seen,
so
they
were,
they
had
12
jars
in
front
of
them
and
they
were
asked
on.
S
S
And
if
you
want
to
advance
a
couple
slides
here,
I'm
going
to
ask
you
guys
to
do
it
for
us
so
and
on
the
next
slide.
We
have
those
12
issues
and,
and
maybe
the
minute
or
so
that
we
have
available
here
either
speak
up
or
feel
free
to
drop
it
in
the
chat
which
of
these
12
are
most
important
to
you
in
your
livelihood
or
your
family's
livelihood
understanding
that
all
of
these
are
important
in
their
own
way.
But
if
we
had
to
prioritize
our
work,
which
would
be
most
important.
C
S
Yep-
and
that
was
one
we
have
a
few
on
here-
that
we
had
considered
adding
that
were
very
important,
like
disparity
reduction
working
with
indigenous
communities,
but
we
wanted
to
weave
into
a
lot
of
our
work
air
quality
to
me
kind
of
runs
that
gamut,
but
it
was
also
part
of
climate
change,
and
you
can
see
where
climate
change
was.
We
had
some
of
those
poor
air
quality
photos,
so
we
incorporated
it
in
that
way
it
kind
of
came
down
to
if
we
had
to
choose
12.
S
B
I
have
a
question:
this
is
leslie,
so
you
put
the
air
quality
with
the
climate
change
and
not
thinking
or
considering.
B
B
And
it
doesn't
seem
to
be
important
to
anybody.
But
me
I'm
just
wondering
what
what
what
what
the
what
you're
trying
to
get
at.
As
far
as
I've
seen
the
list
of
people
and
everything
else
and
I'm
looking
at
this
in
a
whole
different,
bigger
picture
than
the
law
of
what?
What
what's
going
on.
Because
without
the
air
we
can't
breathe,
to
do
function
of
anything
and
the
air
pollution
goes
into.
B
P
P
S
Okay,
yeah-
and
I
can
speak
to
that
one.
So
one
of
the
roles
that
we
serve
as
a
solo
water
conservation
district,
which
is
the
county
in
this
case,
is
enforcing
that
buffer
law.
S
And
that's
one
thing
we're
doing
throughout
the
county
is
trying
to
make
sure
that
for
creeks,
for
our
rivers,
for
our
lakes,
for
ditches,
because
of
bass
creek
in
some
areas
that
we
have
that
buffer
in
place
and
that
really
just
gets
on
the
amount
of
vegetation
around
that
area
that
doesn't
quite
hit
the
flooding
and
that's
an
even
bigger
and
more
complicated
issue.
But
one
we
have
to
work
on
with
our
cities
to
understand
that,
for
these
pipes,
ambassador
creek
becomes
a
pipe.
S
Obviously,
at
one
point,
how
can
we
make
sure
that
that
pipe's
big
enough
to
handle
the
bigger
rainfall
events
we're
seeing,
which
has
been
a
huge
issue
through
many
areas
of
minneapolis?
And
that's
something
we
definitely
want
to
consider
in
this
plan?.
M
Thanks
kelly,
so
one
of
the
concerns
I
have
is
the
climate
plan
did
not
have
anything
about
urban
agriculture
and
I'm
sure
that's
what
you
talked
with
michael
and
everyone
there
about.
M
R
Yeah,
that's
awesome
comment
and
I'm
very
glad
that
we
we
keep
hearing
that
the
urban
agricultural
component
of
our
work
is
something
that
is
very
much
an
emerging
thing
and
something
that
a
few
staff
and
myself
are
working
on
to
figure
out
how
to
do
agricultural
conservation,
agricultural
preservation
and
also
to
work
with
helping
to
support
urban
agriculture
as
well,
and
I
think
that
hearing
from
groups
like
yours,
that
that
is
continuing
to
be
a
concern
and
an
issue,
especially
with
the
pandemic
and
food
access
and
stability.
R
That
just
gives
us
more
momentum
and
more
reason
to
push
our
leaders
and
supervisors
to.
Let
us
have
funding
for
those
types
of
programs.
So
I
guess
the
answer
to
your
question.
Is
we
don't
have
a
lot
of
organized
structure
on
that
right
now,
but
it's
something
that
we've
regularly
heard
from
the
community
over
this
phase
1
process
and
think
that
it's
something
that
we
would
like
to
invest
in
more
in
the
future.
E
A
D
Anita
all
right,
thank
you.
One
of
the
questions
that
I
was
asked
by
one
of
the
elders
in
north
minneapolis.
We
had
a
conversation-
maybe
this
isn't
the
particular
place,
but
the
question
was
the
habitat
and
wildlife,
that's
as
they're
affected
by
the
upper
harbor
terminal
and
the
construction
that
will
go
on
and
a
lot
of
the
changes
in
that
area,
particularly
the
rookery
over
in
north
minneapolis
and
the
mississippi
and
and
if
this
would
be
included.
D
D
So
I
think
you
can
appreciate
that
one,
but
so
the
question
I
was
asked
to
bring
that
question
here
to
this
meeting
and
also
to
ask
the
green
zone
members
to
consider
that
part
when
we're
talking
about
the
upper
harbor
terminal.
F
O
S
Can
take
a
more
general
kind
of
answer
for
that?
Maybe
christine
get
into
the
specific,
maybe
rookery
question.
If
you
have
more
background
on
that,
I
don't
have
the
record
per
se,
but
in
terms
of
what
this
plan
would
cover,
this
plan
would
knock
it
down
to
the
project
specific
level.
What
it
would
talk
about
is
say,
partnerships
with
the
city
or
with
private
developers
that
do
this
work
to
make
sure
that
it's
in
an
environmentally
sustainable
way.
R
R
We
won't
be
calling
out
any
specific
projects
in
this
plan,
but
that's
something
that
could
be
included
in
potentially
appendices,
so
this
document
will
become
amended
with
appendices
that
are
going
to
become
a
lot
more
detailed
with
kind
of
the
actions
that
we
intend
to
take
after
this
plan
is
adopted
by
the
board,
and
part
of
that
reason
is
because
that
will
be
a
lot
more
technical,
and
so
it's
just
going
to
take
us
a
little
bit
more
time
to
get
through
the
specifics
of
the
appendix
acumen.
K
Yeah
well,
I
think
that
that's
the
problem
with
government-
and
this
seems
to
be
just
another
example
of
the
approach.
You
know
you
use
the
language
higher
level.
Let's
talk
about
boots
on
the
ground
solutions,
rather
than
focusing
on
our
deficits.
Let's
start
talking
about
act,
active
process
in
terms
of
you
know,
I
just
heard
anita
and
folks
talking
about
solutions.
K
And
so
I
think
that
what
is
important
to
your
community
should
be.
What
are
solutions
that
you
see
to
some
of
these
consequences
that
have
been
developed
over
years
of
mismanagement
by
government,
failing
to
listen
to
those
residents
in
their
community
who
have
active
concerns
and
have
given
voice
to
active
solutions.
S
Michael
you're
you're
spot
on,
I
don't
have
a
great
answer
to
that.
I
mean
that
that's
one
of
the
challenges
government
has
we're
slow
and
I
think
when
it
comes
to
this
planning
work,
what
we
want
to
do
is
get
the
programs
in
place
to
be
able
to
do
great
work
and,
like
say,
for
example,
this
you
know
urban
farming
initiative.
S
We
have
to
be
able
to
get
the
plans
in
place
to
ask
our
leadership
hey,
give
us
the
money
to
do
this
and
work
with
the
public
and
they
need
to
see
a
plan
for
us
to
do
that.
I
know
it.
I
know
it's
hard
to
hear
that,
because
it's
we
got
stuff.
We
need
to
do
now.
I
can't
wait
two
years,
but
that's
that's
the
timeline
we
have
to
work
on
now.
S
In
the
meantime,
I
love
these
conversations
I
have
because
there
are
stuff
we
can
do
now
to
work
with
you
to
help
on
things
and
keep
asking
us
to
do
those
challenging
things.
But
at
the
same
time
we
want
to
do
these
long-term
planning
efforts
to
make
sure
that
we
have
the
pillars
in
place
to
do
the
big
changes
that
we
want
to
do.
B
I
just
have
one
final
question:
we're
kind
of
adding
to
what
everybody's
talking
about
the
upper
terminal.
I
don't
know
how
it
was
able
to
get
past
with
this
auar
and
it's
very
vague
and
aur
is
shouldn't
be
acceptable
by
the
city.
When
planning
is
done
where
residents
reside,
I
think
it's
something
that
needs
to
be
out
in
the
farmlands
or
something
in
that
category,
because
it's
it
doesn't
give
the
exact
or
precise
amount
of
any
kind
of
element
that's
going
on.
B
B
If
you
live
at
the
governor's
house,
we
all
affected
by
the
change
and
the
dynamics
of
what
happens
in
the
development
of
the
state,
as
well
as
our
surrounding
areas
and
until
everyone
realizes
that
this
is
where
you
live
too,
because
I
don't
think
you're
flying
out
of
here
anywhere
in
space
again
to
be
away
from
the
madness
that
is
being
being
allowed
in
our
state
to
happen,
and
we
have
opportunity
to
make
a
change.
B
I
don't
I
maybe
it's
me
not
comprehending,
or
maybe
it's
it's.
It's
the
lack
of
people
really
thinking
that
they
too
live
here.
I
don't
know
or
just
saying.
Well
let
me
make
this
plan
so
me
as
my
studies
at
from
the
university
as
an
environmental
scientist
and
analyzed
and
fallen
rabbit
holes
and
the
management
of
the
planning,
and
I
will
continue
to
say
this.
I
don't
care
what
you
build
manage
our
land
because
we
live
here.
B
I
am
black
indigenous
I'm
an
expert
as
being
black
and
indigenous
in
america
for
64
years
born
and
raised
in
minneapolis,
and
I
seen
the
changes
and
because
of
the
neighborhood,
I
grew
up
in
playing
across
the
street
at
basket.
Creek
off
of
highway
55
I'ma
tell
you
something:
I've
seen
the
changes
and
everybody
needs
to
be
ashamed
of
the
way
that
we
live
our
life
here
and
that's
all
I'm
to
say,
and
I
can
ramble
on,
but
thank
you
for
coming
and
hopefully
you'll
take
what
I
say
into
consideration.
I
A
Did
you
have
something
related.
D
To
that
just
one
last
comment:
you,
as
I
understand
it,
you're
in
the
process
of
creating
a
strategic
plan.
That's
is
that
correct.
Okay,
as
some
of
you
know,
some
of
you
don't
know,
I
used
to
be
part
of
the
hennepin
county
environmental
services
department
and
I
used
to
be
part
of
those
strategic
planning.
D
You
we've
gotten
a
lot
of
feedback
tonight,
and
these
are
the
things
that
we're
talking
about.
These
are
the
conditions
we're
living
in
as
leslie's
talking
about
toxic
air.
I
mentioned
the
net,
the
the
habitat
and
wildlife
as
it's
related
to
upper
harbor
terminal.
These
are
things
that
are
concerning
us
now
and
so
as
you're,
creating
that
strategic
plan
that
input
should
be
included
in
it
because
it's
important
to
us.
So
it
should
be
important
to
you.
K
No
they're,
not
because
when
they're
out
in
community
events,
the
atmosphere
doesn't
really
isn't
conducive
to
real
input.
You
know
we
should
be
having
an
environmental
town
hall
forum.
I
mean
that's,
that's
the
kind
of
aggressive,
really
constructive,
demonstrative
input
that
needs
to
happen,
not
just
a
feel
good.
You
know
john
campfire
bro
campfire
talks.
You
know
that
really
never
lead
to
nothing.
I
think
we
need
to
have
a
come
to
jesus
meeting
where
why
aren't
we
talking
about
especially
with
the
let's
talk
about
environment
as
infrastructure?
K
And
if
it's
infrastructure,
then,
let's
it's,
no
more,
no
less
important
and
resources
already
aligned
with
buildback
better.
I
know
that
there's
money,
that's
coming
from
the
federal
government
to
talk
about
all
of
the.
I
can't
even
keep
up
with
all
the
different
acronyms
and
names,
but
let's
talk
about
environment,
clean
air,
clean
soil,
you
know,
reforestation,
let's
talk
about
them
as
infrastructure
infrastructure
necessary
to
have
a
healthy
planet
and
then,
let's
challenge
those
who
are
the
brokers
of
the
resources,
whether
it
happens
on
the
city,
the
state
or
the
county
level.
K
Let's
talk
about
a
conservation
core
where
we're
actually
now
moving
over
beyond
just
money
deployment.
Let's
talk
about
job
creation
that
can
lead
to
restoring
land,
restoring
forests,
restoring
quality
of
soil
and
let's
make
those
not
just
rhetorical
conversations.
K
You
know:
let's
talk
about
real,
tangible
exercises
that
focus
on
the
forest
station
reforestation
of
the
river
that
talks
about-
let's,
let's
bring
in
how
many
people
died
from
the
pandemic,
let's
plant
a
tree
in
honor
of
everybody
in
the
state
of
minnesota
and
let's
identify
lands
that
hennepin
county
owns
and
let's
make
those
urban
and
so
and
municipal
forests
that
hire
young
people
from
low
marginalized
communities
that
go
out
on
a
daily
basis
to
help
plant
those
forests.
K
There
are
solutions
that
are
happening
all
over
the
world
and
we
still
sit
here,
picking
our
nose,
scratching
our
behinds
and
holding
climate
summits.
You
know
to
talk
about
more
rhetoric
when,
indeed
there's
things
that
we
know
tangibly
that
we
can
do
and
we
know,
there's
resources
that
are
already
being
deployed
out
in
carver
county
phyllis
wheatley
owns
a
a
48
acre
camp.
K
Let's
make
that
an
environmental,
let's,
let's
as
a
county,
hennepin
county
carver
county.
Let's,
let's
make
that
an
environmental
boot
camp
where
we
go
out
there
and
it's
been
sitting
out
to
clean
up
the
forest
to
replant
trees,
to
train
young
people,
about
about
forestation
and
and
and
all
use
all
of
that
under
the
out
of
the
dollars
that
already
are
existing
and
coming
into
our
community,
around
economic
development,
about
infrastructure
creation
and
about
addressing
global
warming.
S
S
That
I
mean,
I
think
one
thing
that
I
think
one
thing
I
think
I
like
a
lot
is
the
places
to
have
discussions.
I
think
both
anita,
and
you
were
right
that
I
had
some
tough
conversations
during
those
meetings
on
one-on-one
events,
because
people
had
your
attention
and
they
could
really
talk
to
you
and
you
couldn't
go
anywhere.
S
Are
there
other
groups
like
this
that
we
should
be
meeting
with
that
we
haven't
yet
that's
one
thing:
I'd
love
to
hear
from
this
group.
Are
there
audiences
that
haven't
had
a
chance
to
speak
with
us
that
need
to
be
heard?
So
I'd
love
to
hear
more
about
that
and
then
separately
too.
A
lot
of
what
you
mentioned
is
stuff,
we're
talking
about.
It
hasn't
gotten
a
level.
I
should
do
anything
yet
it
gets
back
to
that
challenge
of
actually
getting
the
pillars
in
place
and
the
funding
in
place
to
do
it.
S
K
Yeah
there's
a
group:
you
should
be
talking
to
it's:
a
group
called
net
north
side,
safety,
net
neighborhoods,
empowering
teens,
we
just
hired
10
north
side,
youth
between
the
ages
of
14
and
18,
to
become
environmental
ambassadors,
environmental
stewards
and
instead
of
you
necessarily
or
people
from
hennepin
county
being
out
there
and
administering
some
of
these
surveys
and
having
these
conversations,
let's
mentor
you
alongside
since
hennepin
county,
is
also
a
partner
in
that
process.
K
Let's
see
if
we
can
shift
some
of
the
outreach
dollars
over
to
net
and
let's
have
you
do
some
direct
service
training
with
some
of
these
young
people
and
let's
bring
let's,
let's
bring
them
out
to
some
of
these
events
and
let's
even
have
them
stage
their
own
conversations
and
activities,
whether
or
not
at
the
grocery
store
at
the
sunday
mornings.
K
Sunday
morning,
church
services,
the
wednesday
night
church
services-
I
mean-
let's
go
deep
deep
into
the
roots
of
the
community
and
let's
bring
these
young
people
who
are
the
next
generation
of
urban
earth
stewards,
let's
already
put
them
to
the
test
and
put
them
to
the
task
for
helping
really
get
granular
with
this
and
really
have
them
help
create
some
of
the
outreach
that
you
guys
have
been
doing.
Let's
bring
them
on
board
already
since
they're
already
in
the
mix
and
let's
put
them
to
work.
B
Okay,
thank
you
michael
it's
an
hour,
it's
602
and
we
have
to
keep
moving.
Is
there
anybody
else
that
has
any
questions
or
anything
that
they
would
like
to
ask
hennepin
county
while
we,
while
we're
here
and
I'm
pretty
sure
they
they
feel,
and
they
hear
us
as
the
green
zone
north
side?
B
O
O
So
I
have
a
question
and
I
I
would
say
that
I
agree
wholeheartedly
with
what
everyone
else
has
said,
but
I
my
question
is-
and
I
say
this
with
all
humility:
why
haven't
we
had
these
conversations?
Why
didn't
you
come
to
us
before
the
survey
or
doing
the
survey
to
ask
for
the
input
from
the
community?
O
Best
intentions
at
hand
are
not
asked
to
come
to
the
table
until
after
the
fact,
and
so
in
and
of
itself-
that's
disrespectful
to
the
community
so
to
come
after
the
fact
and
say:
oh,
I
wonder
what
what
we
should
be,
what
kind
of
conversations
we
should
be
having
with
the
community?
O
It
sounds
like
you
guys,
are
some
pretty
intelligent
people
and
I'm
wondering
why
you
would
not
why
you
continually
come
to
the
table
after
the
horses
come
out
of
the
barn
somebody's
left.
The
gate
open
then
it's
like,
oh
by
by
the
way
it's
like
an
after
after
thought.
O
So
that's
my
that's
my
question
and
I
I
guess
I
would
say
what
are
you
gonna
do
in
the
in
the
intro
to
rectify
some
of
these
concerns
that
we
have
and
some
and
and
come
back
to
us
and
give
us
an
update
around
here-
are
some
corrective
actions
that
we'd
like
to
see
being
done
in
response
to
this
conversation
today,.
R
Yeah
that
thank
you
so
much
for
sharing
that,
hopefully,
hopefully
we're
doing
a
little
bit
better
job
this
time
than
last
time
with
getting
out
in
front
of
the
plan.
That's
why
we're
having
these
conversations?
R
And
so
I
think
one
of
the
other
things
in
michael's
comment
about
the
youth
neighborhood
empowering
teams.
I
mean
that
just
sounds
so
cool
like
I
yeah
you
guys
are
just
like
all
really
inspiring,
and
I
I
really
hope
that
we
can
incorporate
as
much
as
we
possibly
can
from
what
we've
heard
today
into
that
plan
and
hoping
that
you
guys
will
work
with
us
to
do
that
and
wanting
to
be
engaged
is
yeah.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
your
time
today.
K
Understand
that
you
know
you
can
be
in
community
or
you
can
be
of
community
and
that
again,
this
top-down
methodology
is
antiquated,
outdated.
It
is,
in
fact,
the
heart
and
soul
of
white
supremacy
and
institutional
racism,
and
until
you
can
sit
across
the
room
in
all
honesty
and
looking
into
the
eyes
of
yolanda,
you
know
looking
into
anita
and
other
folks
in
this
room.
K
We
you
and
those
who
are
in
those
seats
have
to
take
off.
They
have
to
say
to
their
employers
that
they
that
we
can't
continue
to
operate
in
this
top-down
approach.
Where
we've
always
got
our
foot
on
the
necks
of
well-intentioned
citizens,
we
have
to
empower,
we
have
to
educate
citizens,
empower
citizens
and
remunerate
citizens
for
their
active
and
unselfish.
B
Thank
you,
michael
we're.
Going
in
we're
going
10
minutes
almost
overtime.
We
want
to
try
to
stay
on
schedule.
We
appreciate
you
guys
coming,
but
we
have
to
keep
moving.
Is
there
anything
else
that
the
county
would
like
to
include
in
closing,
because
we
do
have
to
continue
on?
We
have
other
things
on
our
agenda
tonight.
P
Steen,
can
you
just
move
to
the
contact
information
and
I
think
at
the
end,
we're
happy
to
come
back
and
talk
about
herc.
More
specifically,
we
heard
that,
and
we
know
that
there
was
questions
around
our
organizational
structure
who
to
reach
out
to
at
this
point.
This
is
our
contact
information,
any
one
of
us
you
can
reach
out
to
and
we'll
respond
and
either
get
the
answer
or
come
back
and
have
another
conversation.
So
thank
you
for
the
time
we'd.
B
So
please
include
that
in
your
monitoring
and
keep
us
updated,
but
we'll
have
kelly
reach
back
out
to
you,
so
we
can
continue
this
conversation,
hopefully
before
christmas.
Thank
you
guys.
Thanks
bye,.
A
D
D
D
These
are
the
plans,
and
this
is
what
the
goal
is,
and
this
is
what
the
finish
is
going
to
be
and
we
can
ooh
and
and
very
little
questions
are
answered,
but
one
of
the
things
and
the
other
thing
besides
that,
besides
herc,
was
highway
94,
the
same
thing
tearing
up
our
community
tearing
people
who
were
homeowners
down
there
along
fourth
street
and
second
and
moving
them
into
the
projects
along
olsen
highway.
D
The
the
sumner
field
projects
because
they
could
no
longer
afford
homes
after
the
city
brought
them
out
so
that
the
highway
could
go
through.
These
are
things
that
I
recall
growing
up
in
north
minneapolis,
my
entire
life
and
I'm
looking
at
it
and
now
we're
dealing
with
the
after
effects
of
highway
94
and
the
pollution.
Then
the
toxins
that
are
into
our
air
and
we're
dealing
with
hurricane
the
pollution.
D
We
have
to
be
vigilant
so
that
we
don't
come
to
this
point
again,
our
children
and
our
grandchildren
years
from
now
saying,
you
know
what
happened.
Why
didn't
we
take?
You
know,
take
control
of
the
situation
as
community
members,
and
this
is
the
thing
we
have
to
start
taking
control
after
the
fact
that
we
have
to
be
concerned
of
is
where
are
those
trucks
going
to
go
they're
going
to
close
down
2nd
street
because
the
upper
harbor
terminal
is
going
to
be
right
there
where
second
street
comes
to
dowling?
D
And
you
know
when
you
live
in
north
minneapolis,
you,
you
drive
through
there
those
big
trucks
that
are
coming
from
those
those
manufacturers
and
those
construction
and
and
or
not
yeah.
Well,
there
is
a
construction
business
down
that
way,
but
a
lot
of
those
companies
that
have
big
trucks
that
are
going
all
over,
not
just
the
city,
but
throughout
the
state
there
are
two
exit
ramps
to
highway
94.
One
of
them
is
on
26th
in
washington.
D
D
D
We
want
to
make
sure
that
they're
not
going
down
the
next
largest
street
is
besides
washington,
which
gets
then
gets
cut.
Cut
off
is
lindell.
We've
got
children
who
are
waiting
for
school
buses.
We
got
adults
and
you
know
of
all
ages
waiting
for
buses
on
that
route.
We've
already
got
the
buses
spewing
their
diesel
fumes.
Do
we
need
trucks
going
down?
Lindell
avenue
and
through
our
neighborhoods
being
rerouted
also
with
the
diesel
fuel.
D
D
I
can
take
the
lead
on
making
sure
that
being
vigilant
as
part
of
the
green
zone,
that
we
keep
those
trucks
off
of
our
community
streets,
that
they
look
at,
where
they're
routing
and
keep
them
to
industrial
routes
that
they
have
right
now
and
keep
them
off
our
community
streets
like
glendale
avenue
and
going
down
west
broadway
into
our
other
businesses.
D
The
other
part
of
that
that's
concerning
me
is
if
you
go
on
94-
and
I
know
many
of
you:
do
you
see
that
there
are
no
noise
walls,
there's
nothing.
It's
all
open
now,
they're
planning
some
parks
and
some
concert
venues
over
there
on
upper
harbor
terminal,
but
nobody
has
talked
to
us
about
noise
control
and
how
to
shut
that
down.
D
D
D
D
D
That
means
our
communities.
Now,
if
you
remember,
when
you
were
younger
going
home,
you
made
noise,
you
spewed
your
garbage,
you
didn't
care,
you
didn't
think
about
it,
and
those
are
things
that
we
have
to
consider.
How
concert
nights
will
impact
our
community
on
our
neighborhood
who's
going
to
clean
up
after
that?
D
D
D
So
there's
a
lot
of
things
that
we
have
to
be
vigilant
about
just
as
they're
starting
to
do
this
construction
of
the
upper
harbor
terminal
and
the
after
so
like
I
said
I'd
like
to,
and
I
guess
I'm
going
to
put
a
motion
out
there
to
create
a
subcommittee
to
start
looking
at
all
the
things
that
I've
that
I've
talked
about
and
I'll
go
from
there
and
anybody
who
else
wants
to
be
part
of
that
subcommittee.
I'm
not.
G
K
Yeah
we
talk
about
the
impact
on
the
the
rookery.
We
talk
about
the
impact
on
our
city,
streets
and
pollution.
K
What
I
haven't
we,
but
we
what
we
haven't
talked
about
yet,
and
so
maybe
this
committee
and
again
I
would
urge
folks
to
look
to
roxanne,
who
has
already
been
putting
together
strategies
and
devices
to
try
to
maybe
even
slow
the
process
down.
So
I
I
don't
want
us
to
to
lose
sight
of
that.
We
do
have
just
we
don't
necessarily.
We
can
also
be
looking
at
the
legal
strategies
to
try
to
hold
them
to
higher
accountability
and
stop
the
process,
but
we
haven't
talked
about.
K
Even
though
there's
all
this
talk
about
defunding
the
police
and
police
brutality.
We
haven't
imagined
what
that's
gonna
look
like
when
we
have
this
amphitheater
and
we
have
these
young
in
intoxicated,
suburbanite,
women
and
or
guys
coming
through
our
community.
K
You
know
laughing
and
having
a
good
old
time
and
then
yet
there's
young
men
and
women
in
north
minneapolis
who
are
suffering
the
consequences
of
poverty
and
again
institutional
racism.
What
does
all
that
means
in
terms
of
the
policing
that
will
will
be
set
up
to
safeguard
those
suburbanites,
the
kind
of
tick-up
in
police
brutality
of
incarceration?
K
K
I
would
have
you
look
at
police
brutality
and
all
of
those
social
indicators,
as
well
as
part
of
this
prevention
plan
that
you're
proposing.
B
Thank
you,
michael.
Can
we
get
a
vote
kelly
for
anita's
proposal,
so
we
can
keep
on
moving.
O
I'd
like
to
also
piggyback
on
what
michael
said
and
one
of
the
things
that
that
I
would
like
to
just
have
us
consider
moving
forward,
and
I
too
would
like
to
say
thank
you
very
much,
mr
needle,
for
bringing
that
forward.
O
O
My
books
get
engaged
when
you
start
talking
about
their
pocketbook,
so
so
one
of
the
things
that
I
would
like
to
see
is
if,
if
this
is
able
as
an
option,
let's
talk
about
a
luxury
tax
since
they
want
to
come
in
our
community
and
live
high
and
drop
tax,
etc.
Let's
have
a
luxury
tax,
a
tolls,
a
toll
fee
for
them
coming
in
and
out
of
our
community
and
and
so
if
they
are
needing.
O
Let's
say,
for
instance-
and
I
know
that
this
is
the
cart
kind
of
before
the
horse,
but
I
still
would
like
just
to
to
bring
it
to
our
attention
so
so
as
a
solution,
if,
if
in
indeed
they
pass,
this
they've
already
passed
it
they
just
letting
us
notifying
us
at
this
point.
O
From
my
perspective,
let's
talk
about,
if
you
are
going
to
come
in
town
to
have
a
concert,
etc,
etc,
then
they
need
to
have
everybody
that's
going
to
attend
that
needs
to
pay
a
toll
tax
we're
now
paying
a
tax,
a
luxury
tax,
a
health
tax,
on
everything
I
buy
in
minnesota
in
minneapolis,
I
got
to
help
small
businesses
that
were
already
you
know,
making
money
before
the
pandemics,
but
they
don't
want
to
pay
their
their
staffs
health
care.
So
they
put,
they
add
this
percentage
onto
my
field.
O
Every
time
I
go
to
a
restaurant,
so
I'm
proposing
that,
in
addition
to
some
of
these
concerns
that
we
have
that
we
hit
some
pocketbooks
and
that
that's
my
that's
my
feedback.
A
Great,
thank
you
yolanda
all
right.
So
with
that
I
will
call
roll
again.
The
motion
is
to
by
anita,
is
to
create
a
subcommittee
to
address
these
environmental
concerns,
including
violence
and
police
brutality
around
upper
harbor
terminal
development
and
activity.
O
A
G
C
E
C
A
Great
okay,
so
that
is
a
majority.
Yes,
on
that
motion,
the
motion
carries
so
we
can
continue
in
this
conversation
with
that
committee
established.
D
Kelly,
could
I
ask
you
to
send
in
am
I
on
yep
okay,
can
I
ask
you
to
send
an
email
to
everybody
and
ask
them
to
contact
you
if
they're
interested
in
being
part
of
that,
and
then
let
me
know.
C
Thanks
anita
kelly,
should
we
roll
along
here?
I
think
that's
good
good
segue
to
to
talk
about
one
of
the
projects
that
that
I
think
is
making
some
good
progress
here
and
it's
an
update
on
our
community
air
monitoring
project.
C
I
think
we
can
maybe
have
some
inroads
in
on
how
the
upper
harbor
turn
terminal
process
can
can
go
and-
and
that's
collecting
data
points.
So
an
update
on
the
community
air
monitoring
project
is,
we
have
started
asking
for
those
who
want
to
participate
by
actually
placing
devices
at
specific
locations
in
order
to
gather
more
data
just
across
both
the
up
north
side
and
south
side.
Green
zones.
C
Curious,
I
I
don't
know
that
everyone's
had
a
chance
to
to
speak
on
it.
So
it's
it's
kind
of
open
forum
right
now
on
questions
our
group
might
have
on
how
that
project
is,
is
getting
rolled
out
or
you
know,
opportunities
for
involvement,
but
right
now
it's
just
a
kind
of
open
forum
to
discuss
more
about
that
project,
and
possibly
you
know
putting
some
things
in
place
that
that
can
be
utilized
by
anita's
group
subcommittee
as
well.
A
Yeah-
and
I
would
just
add
on
that-
segway
anita
joannen
and
others
who
are
going
to
be
participating
in
that
subcommittee,
if,
if
you're
able
to
identify
intersections
or
parcels
that
are
in
that
area
that
are
either
city
owned
or
where
you
might
have
a
relationship
with
somebody
who
owns
the
property
that
might
be
amenable
to
having
an
air
sensor
on
their
property.
A
That
would
be
a
great
connection
to
the
community
air
monitoring
project.
There's
a
couple
sites
on
the
south
side,
where
I've
already
received
requests
to
check
with
city
staff
if
we
can
place
air
sensors
on
some
city-owned
land.
So
that's
something
that
I'm
happy
to
follow
up
on
with
an
internal
request.
D
K
K
You
know,
let's,
let's
think
in
terms
of
it
as
a
infrastructure
matter
again,
who
are
those
residents
that
are
going
to
be
most
impacted?
Who
are
those
residents
that
are?
We
want
to
engage
and
become
active
environmental
watchdogs,
and
you
know,
and
with
that
in
terms
of
some
of
the
work
that
I
could
foresee
that
anita
and
others
doing
is
there
some
resources
that
we
could
identify
and
deploy
to
those
river
watchers
water
walk
walkers.
K
You
know
that
become
a
part
of
a
force
in
terms
of
long-term
community
security
and
in
co-creation,
and
so
is
there
resources
not
only
to
put
these
monitors
on
people's
houses,
but
can
we
use
it
as
a
strategy
to
really
engage
a
a
force
that
really
of
residents
who
are
river,
walk,
watchers,
water,
walkers?
K
You
know
water,
river,
watchers
walkers
and
who
we
then
see
them
as
part
of
a
engagement
strategy
that
really
invests
in
those
residents
and
really
starts
rewarding
them
for
their
participation,
which
then
ultimately
leads
to
their
leadership
and
leadership
before
the
upper
harbor
leadership
alongside
the
upper
harbor
and
leadership,
as
as
it
goes
forward
that
we
starting
to
build
human
infrastructure,
but
also
civic
infrastructure,
that
will
monitor
the
air,
monitor
the
soil,
monitor
the
water,
monitor
their
neighbors
and
and
really
putting
in
place
proactively
citizenry.
C
I
think,
michael,
what
what
you're
touching
on
there
is
is
actually
a
great
it's
right
on
our
agenda
for
for
next.
For
what
we
want
to
talk
about
here
before
we
adjourn
is,
is
really
asking
for
specifically
that-
and
so
I
don't
want
to
step
on
on
leslie's
leslie's
bit
here,
but
we
definitely
want
to
put
forward
a
strong
play
to
the
city
in
order
to
ask
for
these
resources
to
continually
do
this
year
after
year.
C
So
that
word,
I
like,
where
your
heads
at
on
that
and
we're
definitely
trying
to
push
for
that
and
we'd
ask
for
everyone's
participation
in
being
active
and
and
putting
that
forward
towards
the
city.
B
You
can
go
ahead
and
go
right
into
the
next
with
the
announcements,
and
talk
speak
more
about
that
andrew
okay.
Just
go
continue
on
with
that.
C
Yeah-
and
I
guess
to
you
know,
I
don't
want
to
to
just
wrap
up
discussion
on
that
upper
harbor
terminal.
I
think
there's
some
things
that
that
michael
had
brought
up
and
and
others
had
discussed
there
with
with
ways
to
to
help
all
the
impacts
of
that
you
know
where
that
is
actually
sitting.
I'm
not
familiar
with.
C
You
know
how
those
taxes
are
written
in,
but
maybe
something
from
I'm
just
you
know
spitballing
here
but
like
and
environmental
taxes,
maybe
maybe
more
friendly
to
the
how
it's
written
and
and
where
it's
coming
from
from
the
green
zone
than
you
know,
luxury
tax
or
whatever.
It's
called
I'm
not
familiar
with
that
process,
but
I
I
think
that's
something
we
could
look
into
as
far
as
has
that
ever
been
done.
C
You
know
anyone
who's
coming
in
this
area,
we're
going
to
tack
on
a
little
bit
extra
money
for
each
ticket
for
environmental
impact,
something
like
that.
But
but
what
we
have
done
is
drafted
a
letter
that
we
would
hope
everyone
puts
forward
towards
either
their
council
members
their
state
representative
their
you
know.
Basically,
anyone
who'll
listen,
but
it's
it's
asking
for
specific
funding
for
the
green
zone
to
continue
in
the
future.
C
Kelly
can
maybe
give
a
little
bit
of
history
on
just
where
some
of
the
funding
has
come
from
over
the
past
few
years
of
the
green
zone's
existence.
But
what
we're
hoping
to
find
is
is
a
is
an
opportunity
to
continue
going
forward
in
a
stronger
manner
with
with
solidified
resources.
So
it's
not
just
pieced
together,
you
know,
session
by
session.
This
is
something
that
that
sticks
and
is
available
for
the
future.
B
And
to
piggyback
off
of
that,
since
it's
going
into
the
house
of
the
city
council
and
we
have
new
electees
in
that
body,
we
should
probably
push
this
to
those
that
were
there
to
help
create
us
to
see
what
their
impact
is
to
help
push
it
and
the
former
chur
person,
because
she
supported
us,
and
that
was
something
that
someone
suggested.
B
But
this
is
what
was
created.
You
guys
can
take
a
look
at
it
if
it
needs
to
be
modified
to
any
changes,
we're
asking
for
each
member
to
have
some
kind
of
stipend
payment,
even
though
people
might
say
I
don't
need
the
50
or
whatever,
but
every
little
bit
helps
when
when
money
comes
especially
with
these
economical
changes
and
times,
but
I'm
I'd
rather
us
probably
try
to
get
at
least
a
hundred
dollars
per
member
per
meeting,
and
that's
what
I'm
allocating
cost
of
living
covet.
B
B
E
T
A
thought
occurs
to
me
when
you
were
talking
about
the
the
tax
to
help
defray
the
the
impact
on
the
neighborhood
of
the
the
upper
harbor
terminal
project,
and
I
want
to
say
it
was
when
the
convention
center
was
built,
that
they
started
the
hotel
and
entertainment
tax
downtown
yeah,
that's
an
extra
three
percent,
or
something
like
that.
T
It
seems
to
me,
like
we
could
lobby
to
have
that
special
taxing
district
extend
up
through
the
upper
harbor
terminal
and
that
they
could
apply
that
tax
to
the
concert,
tickets
and
stuff
like
that
that
are
sold
and
that
you
know,
and
with
those
funds
dedicated
to
you,
know
to
the
community
here
to
figure
out
how
to
spend
those.
T
I
D
Okay
and
in
answers
to
peggy's
statement,
I
think
that's
something
that
we
can
look
into
in
our
committee,
because
I'm
also
thinking
that
they
should
upper
harbor
terminal,
whoever
handles
concerts
or
whatever,
should
also
be
taxed
or
pay
some
some
funds
or
fees
to
the
residents
too.
Just
for
having
the
concert.
That
being
said,
I
was
wondering
I
read
this
letter
and
I
wonder
kelly:
do
we
have
a
quorum
still?
K
Well,
yeah,
I
have,
I
have
some
concerns.
You
know
it's
kind
of
general,
but
again
I
think
that
there's
federal
dollars
that
are
already
being
applied
and
deployed
as
we
speak,
and
so
I
don't
think
we
have
to
rob
peter
to
pay
paul.
K
You
know
the
idea
of
a
luxury
tax
all
well
and
dandy,
I'm
in
full
agreement
on
in
many
respects,
but
I
also
think
that
we
we
we,
we
can't
look
upon
blood
money
if
you
will
to
be
the
answer
that
we
need
to
also
be
putting
in
place
the
kind
of
legal
mechanisms,
the
kind
of
fiscal
mechanisms
that
support
the
kind
of
environmental
world
that
we
see
for
north
minneapolis,
the
upper
harbor
terminal
and
communities
around
the
world,
and
so
there
are
dollars
that
are
already
being
deployed.
K
I
don't
want
to
see
this
get
commingled.
If
you
will,
where
again,
we
lose
sight
of
you
know
some
of
the
kind
of
infrastructure
dollars
build
back
better
dollars,
even
claiming
environmental
improvements,
as
in
as
an
infrastructure
matter,
and
you
know
that
we've
got
to
get
beyond
the
destruction
of
the
earth
to
be
to
talk
about
the
construction
of
the
earth.
K
You
know,
and
if
we
don't,
if
we
don't
make
that
a
top
priority
and
an
environmental
I
mean
in
order
to
be
a
member
of
this
meeting,
we
all
had
to
abide
by
some
rules
and
ethics,
and
I
think
that
that's
really
what
we're
driving
at
here
is
the
city.
If
you
will
has
to
has
to
play
nice,
has
to
be
more
intentional,
has
to
invest
in
its
own
future
and
it's
not
just
a
municipality.
K
It
is
a
home
to
children
and
families
who
are
being
hampered
and
poisoned
by
policies
that
municipalities
erect
upon
them.
And
so
let's
talk
about
that
being
then
a
a
luxury
tax
on
the
city
for
poisoning
us.
K
B
B
You
I'm
just
because
you
you
you,
I
mean
you
do
talk
very
eloquently
and
I
respect
that
so
we're
in
the
middle
of
voting.
So
I'm
kind
of
confused.
If
you
want
to
make
any
changes
to
this,
or
can
we
move
forward
to
vote
and
keep
it
moving,
and
we
can
come
back
to
what
you're
talking
about
as
far
as
trying
to
get
other
monies
from
other
entities
would
be
great.
Okay-
and
I
see
andrew
has
his
hand
up
well.
K
In
answer
to
your
question,
I
might
I
might
respond
the
same
way
that
I
heard
folks
yolanda
talking
about
the
folks
from
hennepin
county.
I
mean
it's
real
hard
for
me
to
read
this
letter
and
say
I
embrace
it.
I
mean
I
can't
even
see
the
screen,
let
alone
read
it,
and
yet
you
want
me
to
vote
on
it
when
you
know
it
might
take
some
greater
time
to
really
get
legitimate
feedback
from
all
the
green
zone
members
and
that
we're
not
just
all
bobble
heads.
K
You
know
change
takes
time,
change
takes,
you
know,
thought
and
so
I'll
vote
and
support.
I
won't
vote
against
it,
but
I
certainly
think
that
you
know
rather
than
whoever
the
authors
of
this
letter
were.
You
know
I
would
have
liked
to
have
this
in
advance
to
to
to
this
evening,
so
that
I
could
then
give
it
my
due
diligence
sure.
C
And-
and
I
have
a
question-
maybe
that
can
clarify
some
of
that
just
for
the
for
the
purpose
of
what
this,
what
this
letter
is
and
and
what
it
may
be,
does
or
doesn't
do
and
kelly.
Maybe
this
is
a
question
for
you,
but
if,
if
this,
what
we're
doing
in
this
letter
specifically,
is
just
asking
for
funds
from
the
city,
I
don't
believe
that
excludes
us
from
getting
funds
on
through
other
avenues,
so
I
you
know
as
far
as
bigger
and
and
those
funds,
those
monies
that
are
available
through
those
plans.
C
Like
you
mentioned
michael,
I
don't
think
that
this
excludes
us
from
going
for
those.
This
is
just
something
specific
to
the
city
to
say:
look
we
think
we're
doing
important
work,
we'd
like
funding
from
you,
but
we
will
still
accept
funding
from
other
resources
if
we
can
get
it.
B
Yes,
yes,
and
on
regular
contingency,
so
it's
not
just
a
one-time
thing.
It's
a
long
term
included
in
their
budget
on
a
yearly
basis
and
that's
what
it
says,
but
we'll
be
more
than
happy
to
send
it
to
you
and
this
letter
will
be
going
to
the
south
side
green
zone
as
well.
So
there
will
be
time
if
you
want
to
make
any
kind
of
suggestions
and
anita
has
her
hand
up.
A
I
do
want
to
make
a
clarifying
point
on
the
timeline,
so
I
did
bring
it
to
the
southside
green
zone
last
week.
They
have
not
had
a
quorum
at
their
meetings,
so
they
weren't
able
to
adopt
it
as
a
whole,
but
I
did
send
them
the
outline
of
this
so
that
individuals
on
the
southside
green
zone
council
could
send
it
to
their
council
members.
A
If
we
don't
vote
on
the
letter
today,
we
would
have
to
schedule
a
special
meeting
prior
to
well
probably
as
soon
as
possible,
because
we,
the
best
chance
for
getting
funding,
is
sending
this
to
council
as
soon
as
possible,
even
before
they
have
their
public
hearing
is
certainly
the
first
one,
but
definitely
even
the
last
two.
A
In
the
first
week
of
and
second
week
of
december
by
our
next
northside
green
zone
meeting,
it
will
essentially
be
too
late,
so
I
just
wanna
put
that
out
there,
and
so,
if
we
don't
approve
it
as
a
full
task
force
as
individuals,
you
can
all
certainly
decide
to
send
it
to
your
council
members,
but
we
wouldn't
send
it
as
a
whole.
We'd
have
to
modify
the
language
like.
I
did
for
southside
sorry,
you
need
to
go
ahead.
D
Okay,
considering
what
michael
said,
I'm
sorry
michael,
I
didn't
even
think
about
that.
You
raised
a
good
point,
but
the
other
point
that
you
you
raised
about
federal
funds
and
I
agree
that
we,
you
know.
Doesn't
this
letter
doesn't
preclude
us
from
seeking
other
funds
outside
of
the
city,
but
if
we're
looking
at
specifically,
we
seek
the
the
line
that
reads:
I'd
like
to
make
a
suggestion
on
an
amendment-
and
I
don't
know
if
I
can
do
this
here-
robert's
rules
are
escaping
me
but
requesting
ongoing
funding
for
the
green
zone
initiative.
D
And
then
maybe
a
line
that
says
we
will
you
know
we
to
continue
to
every
year
or
something
like
that,
some
language
in
it.
We
can't
think
of
it,
but
it's
just
a
suggestion,
because
I'm
thinking,
if
we
put
this
in,
we
might
end
up
only
getting
125
000
every
year
because
we
have
this
week
past
this
motion
and
the
language
doesn't
have
an
end
date
or
start
date.
C
I
think
rearranging
that
wording
is
is
totally
fair.
I
think
you
know
the
thought
process
behind
us
writing.
It
was
just
getting
to
to
some
recurring
value,
but
I
understand
what
you're
saying
we
don't
want
to
cut
ourselves
short
for
future.
You
know
if
that,
if
that
amount
needs
to
grow-
and
we
have
it
in
writing
that
you
know
they
agreed
to
this-
that
I
understand
what
you're
saying
100.
K
K
So
it
was
brought
a
tear
to
my
eye
that
the
city
could
not
have
funds
even
to
do
do
some
flyers,
but
you
know
so
it
really
pulled
on
my
heartstrings
I
thought
maybe
I
was
to
have
to
do
a
bake
sale
for
the
city
of
minneapolis
so
that
we
could
really
enforce
their
green
zone
policy.
A
D
Okay,
if
I
can
cut
in
here,
this
is
anita.
As
a
maker
of
the
motion
I
can
make
the
amendment
the
motion
would
change
to
amend.
I
make
a
motion
that
we
accept
this
letter
with
an
amendment
that
we
add
year,
2021.
C
B
For
the
year
of
2022,
and
to
continue
and
increase
as
increase
something.
C
D
C
A
A
C
M
K
I
think
that
it
really
I
mean
it,
wouldn't
it
wouldn't
convince
me,
but
if
but
but
if
you
could
frame
it
around
the
environmental,
the
necessities
of
the
environment
or
the
impact
of
of
environmental
toxins.
I
think
that
that's
the
salient
point
and
not
necessary
they're
not
going
to
be
concerned
about
the
cost
of
living,
because,
again
we're
not
saying
where
those
funds
are
going,
we're
just
generic,
and
so
we
can't
really
attribute
it
to
cost
of
living
or
or
the
the
the.
K
Dollar
bill
signs:
it's
got
to
be.
The
rationale
I
think
has
to
be
framed
on
the
impacts
of
of
pollution
on
our
community
and
the
consequences
that
they've
rendered
on
our
community.
I
think
that's
the
critical
justification
that
will
move
the
needle
for
these
folks
to
say.
Well,
why
are
we
adjusting
the
fee
because
of
the
impact.
D
Okay,
my
hands
up,
so
this
is
anita
again
how
about
if
we
just
make
it
short
and
simple,
because
now
we're
getting
really
wordy.
If
it
says
specifically,
we
seek
125
000
in
2022
for
each
green
zone
and
a
joint
review
thereafter
that
works,
and
then
funds
are
needed
for.
D
J
A
Okay,
so
we
have
several
different
versions
here
and
julie
to
your
point.
That's
the
beginning
of
the
sentence,
we're
requesting
ongoing
funding
for
the
green
zones
initiative.
That's
why
that
that
that
is
there
for
that
exact
reason.
So
I
agree
with
you,
but
I
also
will
I
mean
it's
up
to
all
of
you
as
members
to
decide
the
language
that
you
want
to
use.
I
do
agree
that
strategically
it
is
safer
to
ask
for
a
single
amount
ongoing
and,
like
julie
said,
then
you
can
always
ask
for
more
in
one-time
funds
year-over-year.
A
But
again
that
said,
I
will,
you
know,
work
with
whatever
language
you
want
to
use,
so
the
different
options
we
have
now
are
specifically.
We
seek
125
000
in
2022
for
each
green
zone
and
jointly
review
funding
needs
each
year
thereafter
as
one
option
or
125
000
in
2022
and
increasing
funds
each
year
thereafter,
due
to
either
the
increase
of
cost
of
living
and
economic
growth,
or
the
other
option
is
the
increasing
cost
of
addressing
environmental
pollution.
We
could
say
like
impact
on
the
health
of
residents,
I
sort
of
summarized
a
little
bit.
D
C
A
We'll
do
that
again,
not
sure
I
think
yolanda
had
to
drop
off
so
we'll
start
with
vanessa.
N
I
O
O
A
C
E
A
If
your
audio
is
still
not
working,
go
ahead,
and
let
us
know-
okay
thanks
ikea
says
yes
to
the
motion
in
the
chat
and
anita.
Yes,
all
right.
That
is
a
unanimous
vote
in
favor
of
adopting
this
letter
on
behalf
of
the
northside
green
zone
to
the
city
council,.
A
If
individuals
are
also
interested
in
sending
this
to
your
council
member
as
a
resident
and
member
of
the
green
zone,
I
can
send
you
a
version
of
this
that
you
can,
you
know,
fill
in
your
name
and
then
send
to
your
council
member.
So
I
will
do
that
as
a
follow-up
as
well.
In
addition
to
sending
this
as
a
group
thank.
C
B
Seven
o'clock-
and
I
don't
know
if
we
want
to
continue
with
the
other
items
on
the
agenda
or
if
people
have
things
to
do,
we
can
break
here
or
it's
it's
a
you
know
about
the
billboards
and
creating
a
directory,
but
those
things
probably
can
still
be
put
on
hold
for
a
minute
because
we
do
have
that
fund
approved
anita,
your
hand
is
still
up.
Oh
I'm,
sorry,
hello.
N
N
This
meeting
will
be
continued
into
the
next
meeting
and
you
will
pick
up
at
the
agenda
where,
after
the
minutes
and
the
agenda
minutes
vote,
then
you
will
start
out
with
where
we
left
off
at
on
the
bullet
point
where
we
left
all
that
that
would
be-
and
you
were
finished
the
agenda
like
that.
B
C
I
think
yeah,
I
think
we
we
covered
some
good
stuff
and
I'm
open
to
doing
that
as
well.
One
thing
I
would,
I
just
want
to
maybe
put
on
the
record
or
open
up
for
conversation
as
it
did.
It
did
seem
like
the
conversation
day
with
with
those
you
know,
reps
or
whoever
from
from
the
county.
C
It
seems
like
they
are
open
to
continuing
conversations
on
the
front
end
to,
and
I
think
we
should
invite
them
back
to
be
in
more
conversation
to
to
kind
of
spearhead
that,
because
it
does
seem
like
that's
a
plan
for
them
going
forward
and
not
so
much
as
you
know,
coming
to
us
with
here's,
what
we've
decided
so
the
more
input
we
can
give
them.
B
I'd
like
to
say,
if
anybody
has
any
information
about
any
federal
funding,
to
get
our
support,
please
reach
out
to
kelly,
so
we
can
apply
for
any
of
those
grants
and
proposals
and
if
there's
anybody
trying
to
teach
any
classes
about
grant,
writing
or
anything
that
we,
as
members,
can
step
in,
to
learn,
to
write
grants
and
and
be
very
active
in
our
in
our
community
to
allocate
funds
towards
us
or
any
projects
that
we
have.
Please,
please
keep
us
all
informed.
We
are
a
community
and
we
need
each
other
united.
We.
B
N
Much
obliged
are
there
any
to
do
items
kelly.
Do.
A
We
need
to
yep,
I
have
several

going
to
share
hinving
county
staff's
email
addresses
with
everyone,
I'm
going
to
send
a
version
of
the
budget
letter
to
all
of
you,
so
you
can
send
it
to
your
council
members
as
an
individual,
I'm
going
to
remind
people

you're
interested
in
joining
the
group
with
anita
and
others
on
upper
harbor
terminal
to
connect
with
anita
and
then
I'll
be

up

group
to
city
council

your
behalf.
