A
Hey
good
evening,
everybody,
my
name
is
joan
vorderbergen.
I
am
the
chair
of
the
minneapolis
arts
commission
before
we
begin
I'd
like
to
note
that
this
meeting
includes
the
remote
participation
of
members
as
authorized
under
minnesota
statutes,
section
13d.021
due
to
the
declared
local
health
pandemic.
I
will
now
call
this
meeting
to
order,
and
I
ask
the
clerk
to
call
the
role
so
that
we
may
verify
the
presence
of
a
quorum.
Thank
you.
A
A
All
right
and
tina,
I
think,
yep
there
you
go,
you
can
drop
that
in
the
chat,
the
agendas
in
the
chat,
if
it's
easier
for
you
to
follow
it
there.
So
I
guess
the
next
order
of
business
is
to
adopt
this
evening's
agenda.
A
Oh
wonderful,
thank
you
so
much
and
I'm
glad
you're
here
is
that
okay
tina
to
add
commissioner
mitig
to
the
roll
call
for
the
evening.
Yes,
I
added
her.
Thank
you.
Okay,
great
thanks.
Okay,
adaption
of
tonight's
agenda.
We
are
moving
item
number,
seven
to
item
number
10
c,
so
we'll
have
public
art,
updates,
consent,
agenda
items
and
the
d
session
will
be
in
there.
Can
I
get
a
motion
to
approve.
A
C
D
D
F
F
F
I
got
disconnected
I
hi
okay.
A
A
F
D
I
I
A
Hi
all
right
that
motion
passes
yay,
let's
move
on
to
introductions
and
get
started,
so
we
do
have
a
guest
with
us
who
knows
some
of
us,
which
is
really
nice
and
is
excited
to
meet
all
of
you.
So
I
think
for
tonight
with
our
introductions.
A
I
think
we'll
do
what
we
typically
do
and
tag
the
next
person
just
so
we
can
keep
things
flowing,
but
for
right
now
I
would
say
if
it's
okay
for
you
to
introduce
yourself,
your
pronouns
and
your
word
and
then
whatever
you
want
to
share
just
like
keep
it
brief.
I
guess
we,
you
know
what,
if,
if
you're,
if
you
get,
if
you're
in
a
mood,
if
you
want
to
share
a
little
something
about
that,
there's
something
you're
excited
about.
A
You
know:
I'm
gonna
just
have
it
be
like
your
choice
and
I
will
want
to
pick
I'm
gonna,
I'm
gonna
ask
for
volunteer
to
pick
on
to
kick
us
off,
though,
and
we'll
do
commissioners
staff
and
then
guests.
Does
that
sound
good?
Who
wants
to
kick
it
off.
C
I
can,
I
guess,
because
I
hit
the
mute
button
and
it
actually
unmuted.
So
that's
a
big
deal
for
me
now,
I'm
in
a
happy
mood,
hello,
everyone,
my
name
is
mandy
bedbury.
I
represent
ward
10
on
the
commission.
I
am
an
actor
mostly
comedy
improv
in
the
city,
and
I
also
teach
professional
development
and
leadership.
Training
using
improv
improv
will
save
the
world
and
I
guess
my
mood
is
a
little
bit
punchy.
I
guess
we're
finding
that
out.
C
As
I
speak,
I
don't
think
I've
actually
had
to
speak
to
too
many
people
today,
so
that
always
that's
always
fun
to
save
it.
For
last,
for
you
guys,
I'm
going
to
tag
commissioner
mansfield,
because
I
adore
the
new
hair
color.
I
love
it.
E
Thank
you,
hi,
commissioner
mari
mansfield.
I
live
in

as
a
layperson,
slash
arts
enthusiast,
but
I
come
to
the
commission
through
theater
arts,
primarily,
and
so
I'm
really
excited
that
we're
also
getting
into
some
realms
of
literary
arts
both
in
our
conversation
and
in
some
of
the
work
we're

G
Hello,
everyone,
jeff
swinton,
ward,
7.
He
him
his
and
I
guess
for
me,
I'm
all
throwed
off,
because
I've
been
traveling
and
going
into
the
office,
and
so
today
I
realized
it's
five
o'clock,
I'm
in
bloomington
and
I
have
a
meeting.
Oh
my
god.
Usually
it's
just
a
walk
up
the
stairs,
but
I
made
it.
I
made
it
on
time,
but
I
am
glad
to
be
here.
G
Oh,
I
tag
commissioners
silky
jones.
D
Hello:
everyone,
I'm
gonna,
hop
off
cam
on
camera
for
a
moment,
so
I
can
say
hello
in
person,
but
my
name
is
commissioner
silky
jones,
I
represent
ward
7
pronouns.
Are
she
hers?
I
am
executive
director
for
aka
charter
school
for
arts
science
called
da
vinci
academy,
and
we
started
school
two
weeks
ago,
which
is
hard
to
believe
and
mandy
was
one
of
our
extraordinary
back
to
school,
professional
development,
arts
integration
sessions.
So
a
little
connection
for
you
there,
but
anyways.
We
have
a
back
to
school
director's
event
tonight.
So
I.
M
D
I,
oh
sorry,
I
I
muted
myself
and
then
couldn't
unmute
myself.
I
will
call
on
joan
great.
A
Thank
you,
and
thanks
for
being
here
with
all
that,
going
on
joan
vorderbergen
chair
of
the
commission.
She
her
hers.
I
represent
words
three
and
seven
and
work
at
hennepin,
theater
trust
and
have
a
lot
of
public
art
happening
and
lots
of
programming,
and
it's
all
happening.
I
am
super
excited
about
being
together
with
you
all.
I
think.
A
Sometimes
the
weight
of
this
particular
role
can
kind
of
feel
heavy
on
me,
and
I
worry
about
it
quite
a
bit,
but
I
also
just
like
when
we
actually
are
in
the
space
together,
even
though
it's
virtual,
like
it's
just
so
nice,
to
see
you
all,
and
I
just
love
working
with
you.
So
I
get
a
lot
of
energy
from
just
being
here
with
you.
So
thank
you,
everyone
for
being
in
the
space
and
I'm
excited
to
chill
with
you
for
the
next
90
minutes,
and
I
will
pass
it
to
commissioner
smith.
F
H
All
right,
hi
everyone,
I'm
lisa
middag.
I
am
a
she
her
hers
and
I
represent
ward
2
on
the
commission.
I
also
work
for
the
minneapolis
downtown
improvement
district,
which
is
in
the
downtown
ward
on
sort
of
placemaking
strategies
in
public
space.
We
just
wrapped
the
third
annual
downtown
street
art
festival
which
which
we
do
in
conjunction
with
hennepin
theater
trust.
H
So
I
am
just
fighting
an
endurance
race
to
friday,
which
I'm
going
to
take
I'm
taking
friday
and
monday
off
this
week,
because
we
had
beyond
the
box
performances
at
tv
and
at
nicolette
towers
on
monday
and
tuesday
night,
which
were
great,
but
we
just
like
yeah
we're
just
wasted.
So
I
I
didn't
have
the
fortitude
to
try
and
tough
it
out
and
defeat
technology
has
been
fighting
me
all
all
day,
so
I
just
thought
I
would
take
a
deep
breath
and
call
in
instead
of
trying
to
make.
H
After
I
don't
know,
10
minutes
trying
to
make
teams
work
on
my
phone.
I
just
gave
up
so
sorry
about
that
and
I
can't
see
who
else
is
in
the
room.
So
if
anyone
else
would
go
that
has
not
yet
gone.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
I
think
we
all
of
the
commissioners
have
gone.
Thank
you
lisa
for
making
it.
Oh
I'm
sorry,
commissioner,
thompson.
Your
turn.
I
Hi
everybody
lucy
thompson,
she
her
hers,
ward,
10
and
I'm
an
art,
slay
person
on
the
commission.
I
actually
just
got
back
from
madison.
I
took
down
it's
really
hard
to
explain,
but
a
wood
block,
neighborhood
modeling
system
to
my
graduate
program.
It
was
invented
by
my
partner
and
it
will
now
be
used
as
a
teaching
tool.
My
partner
passed
away
several
years
ago,
and
so
this
is
I'm
working
on
kind
of
his
legacy
and
really
loved
being
able
to
donate
the
neighborhood
modeling
system
to
my
alma
mater
madison.
I
My
graduate
program,
I
have
a
background
in
city
plan
and
there
went
to
a
lot
of
galleries
and
saw
kind
of
what
the
madison
art
scene
is.
So
I
can't
report
locally,
but
I
did
have
a
great
great
past
couple
days
in
madison.
A
Thank
you.
That
sounds
lovely
all
right.
So
did
we
did
there
anybody,
commissioners
that
didn't
go?
I
think,
we'll
now
move
to
miniteg
mary.
N
N
We
just
are
wrapping
up
installation
on
a
piece
by
seitu
jones,
which
is
the
40th
street
pedestrian
bridge,
and
this
has
been
like
essay,
2
kind
of
reminded
me
not
so
happily
this
morning,
40
40
45
years
in
the
making-
and
so
it's
like
part
of
it
already
needs
conservation,
while
the
last
part
is
getting
done,
it's
been
going
on
for
so
long,
but
really
excited
so
put
it
in
the
chat.
A
B
A
That's
awesome,
thank
you.
So
much
do
we
have
anyone
else
on
the
call,
that's
staff,
I
don't
think
so.
Okay
and
now
we
will
ask
our
guest
to
introduce
himself
and
also
too
that's
the
first
item
of
discussion.
So
I
don't
know,
commissioner
swinton,
I
didn't
know
if
you
wanted
to
say
any
words
about
pino
being
here
with
us
tonight.
I
know
that
I
just
want
to
say
on
behalf
of
all
of
us.
We
really
appreciate
the
efforts
that
you
and
the
access
team
have
been
putting
forward.
A
G
Yeah,
I
I
just
like
to
say
you
know,
thanks
for
the
kind
words
joan
and
really
excited
to
hear
keno,
I
tell
you
what
the
the
arts
commission
has
been
good
to
me
because,
because
of
it,
I
I
reached
out
to
keno
and
we've
started
to
develop
a
relationship
and
a
partnership
and
not
being
on
the
arts.
Commission,
I
probably
wouldn't
know
about
him
and
the
great
works
that
black
table
arts
are
doing
so
I'll,
throw
it
over
to
him
he's.
G
You
know
a
dynamic
person
with
a
great
story
and
that's
still
being
told
you
know.
M
Oh,
thank
you
so
much
for
having
me
in
the
kind
of
introductions
I'm
keto
involved
in
his
pronouns,
I'm
the
founder
and
director
of
the
black
people.
Art
cooperative,
I'm
gonna,
just
speak
briefly
about
black
people,
arts
and
kind
of
work
backwards
here
and
I
it's
it's
a.
H
M
To
be
in
community
with
folks
that
I
know,
are
and
take
arts
seriously
as
shaping
the
sort
of
future
of
the
city.
So
it's
a
joy
and
a
blessing
to
be
here
with
you
all.
So
I
run
the
black
table
of
arts
cooperative.
M
M
M
This
is
before
we
got
our
building
of
in
this
year.
We
started
in
2015
when
we
started
we
were.
We
existed
in
partnership
with
other
venues
in
the
city,
doing
work
at
the
intersections
of
black
togetherness,
civic
engagement
and
grassroots,
organizing
we're
deeply
rooted
in
the
black.
You
know
literary
tradition.
M
Folks,
like
you
know,
gwendolyn
brooks
who
is
thinking
about
things
like
first
journalism
right
that
po
poetics
is
a
kind
of
alternative
way
to
put
out
news
right,
so
we're
very
much
interested
in
what
does
gathering
black
artists
have
to
say
about
the
material
conditions
of
black
life
in
a
city.
So
we
do
all
kinds
of
stuff
at
the
co-op.
We
do
writing
workshops.
We
do
bonfires.
M
We
got
our
first
building
this
year
from
resources
that
we
got
during
the
uprising
when
folks
were
kind
of
having
an
eye
on
the
twin
cities
as
a
source
for
black
social
movement.
M
Black
table
arts
was
one
of
the
many
organizations
that
got
live
lifted
up
in
a
larger
ecosystem,
so
we
believe
at
black
table
arts,
it's
sort
of
like
our
unofficial
slogan,
that
art
keeps
the
enthusiasm
of
social
movement
alive
right
that
organizing
community
grassroots
community,
grassroots
work
right
that
doesn't
have
to
be
so
much
a
chore,
as
it
is
a
space
where
you
meet
your
colleagues,
you
meet
your
friends
and
you
do
collective
projects
right
and
you
get
the
word
out
about
the
things
that
make
black
social
life
less
possible.
M
And
how
can
we
cooperate
together
to
think
of
alternatives
and
and
that's
what
we
do
in
black
lines
matter?
That's
what
we
do
at
the
because
black
lives
conference
that
you
know
that's
what
we
write
about
in
our
sort
of
anthologies,
such
as
a
garden
of
black
joy.
All
of
this
is
an
effort
to
remind
people
that
you
know,
there's
that
quote
by
fred
moton.
M
The
only
way
to
protect
joy
is
to
practice
it
and
that's
where
our
heart
is:
let's
protect
each
other
by
a
certain
ethical
practice
that
comes
alive
when
we
connect
the
artist
to
the
grassroots.
M
So
yeah,
so
that's
what
we've
been
doing
since
2015.
We
got
our
first
building
in
february
it's
on
a
minnehaha
37,
37
million
avenue
south
we
have
80
plus
members.
Everyone
gets
a
key
card.
They
beat
themselves
in
on
a
given
day.
You
can
find
black
vultures,
getting
together.
Having
conversations
sending
emails,
we
have
a
you
know,
a
nice
coffee
machine.
We
have
rooms.
M
You
know
every
room
is
named
after
a
black
writer
that
is
rooted
in
what
we
talk
about
at
our
events.
So
that's
kind
of
black
table
arts.
Now
I'm
a
I
was
born
in
chicago,
but
I
was
raised
here,
I'm
I'm,
I'm
I'm
a
child
of
south
minneapolis.
M
M
M
You
know
so
I
did
youth
poetry
slam
in
high
school.
For
two
years
I
did
brave
new
voices.
I
went
to
san
francisco
as
a
part
of
the
team
from
minnesota
and
that
really
opened
up
my
eyes
to
recognize
that
a
poet
can
be
can
have
a
career
but
not
just
a
career,
but
be
a
catalyst
to
talk
about
social
activism,
so
so
that
so
so
so
so
that's
part
of
the
of
of
my
own
personal
narrative.
I
got
a
job
at
pittsburgh.
House
theatre
really
really
really
early
on.
M
M
That
you
know
asked
me
to
take
myself
seriously
enough
to
actually
shape
some
lessons
for
for
young
folks,
shaping
programs
that
I
went
through
and
am
now
tasked
to
lead
through
places
like
pillsbury
house
theater
and
so
for
for
around.
Like
five
years
I
I
before
I
started
black
table
arts.
M
I
was
a
teaching
artist
in
high
school,
doing
workshops
at
universities,
just
traveling
doing
arts,
arts
literacy
work,
and
then
I
started
black
table
arts
in
2015
and
then
did
that
for
five
years
and
then
and
and
now
we
got
our
first
space
really
trying
to
keep
a
promise
right.
We
think
about
this
work
as
promise
keeping
and
that
promise
is
that
the
artist
can
stand
at
the
front
lines
of
social
movement
and,
to
always
remind
our
local
black
communities.
M
That's
that
there's
always
a
safe
space
to
come
back
to
to
be
reminded
of
the
joy
of
art.
The
joy
of
surprise,
this
joy
of
seeing
your
your
people
laugh
together,
write
poems
together
all
of
these
things
so
yeah.
So
so
that's
sort
of
a
narrative
of
myself
and
of
black
table
arts
and
there's
a
lot
of.
I
think
synergies
with
the
arts
commission
in
terms
of
the
spaces
that
could
be
that
that
could
emerge,
particularly
after
this
this
george
floyd
moment
that
has
really
shaped
into
a
movement.
M
What's
the
role
of
the
poet
at
the
city
level,
poets,
have
ideas
and
imaginations
what
what
are
the
ways
in
which
that
could
sort
of
be
nurtured.
You
know-
and
that's
really,
what
we're
thinking
about
poetry,
not
only
language
sculpted,
beautifully,
but
imagination
and
alternative
ideas
that
could
be
taken
seriously
so
yeah.
So
that's
that's
sort
of
what
caused
us
to
this
space.
M
What
caused
me
to
the
space
and
it's
a
joy
to
sit
here
with
you
all
in
in
and
discuss
a
few
things,
we're
particularly
excited
about
the
poet
laureate
initiative
and
ways
in
which
we
could
plug
young
people
into
this
idea
of
a
youth,
poet,
laureate
and
the
ways
in
which
this
work
comes
full
circle.
In
that
that
process
could
look
like
a
poetry
slam
to
select
the
a
youth
poet
laureate
that
could
work
in
tandem
with
another
poet
laureate.
M
You
know
an
adult
and
you
know
we
could
talk
about
mentorship
or
the
like,
but
we're
yeah.
You
know
we're
really
excited
about
young
people
being
empowered
to
know
that
their
their
voice
and
their
intellect
and
their
imagination
has
something
to
say
about
their
their
their
their
future
in
the
city
that
they
live
in.
So
the
youth
poet
laureate
initiative,
the
poet
lloyd
initiative
is,
is
something
that
we're
particularly
excited
about,
and
I'm
excited
to
continue
the
conversations
and
take
questions
and
yeah
just
be
here
with
you
all.
G
Hey:
hey,
kino,
hey
just
what
oh
john!
Can
I
I'm
sorry?
Can
I
ask
a
question?
Sorry,
but
yeah
so
could
you
talk
about
hey
thanks
for
thanks,
for
you
know,
just
a
just
a
wonderful
introduction
to
both
yourself
and
to
the
black
table
arts.
I
appreciate
that
the
depth
that
you
went
into
it
could
you
give
a
little
color
to
kind
of
the
youth
programs
that
you
guys.
G
And
things
about
you
know,
because
it
is
very
interesting.
You
know
in
our
conversations
that
we've
had
about
youth,
how
do
you
get
them
more
involved
in
arts
early
and
the
poet
laureate
could
be?
You
know
way
to
do
that,
but
just
just
just
some
of
your
thinking
on
how
do
you
get
youth
around
the
city?
More
involved
in
poetry,
like
you
benefited
from
when
you
were
younger.
M
Yeah
absolutely
well
one.
A
lot
of
young
people
come
to
our
events.
It's
predominantly
like
high
school
early
college.
Folks,
we
have.
M
We
have
programs
that
we're
going
to
be
starting
out
in
the
fall
enrollment
programs,
one
of
which
is
the
youth
cooperative
lab
and
the
youth
cooperative
lab
is
going
to
be
around
eight
weeks
two
days
a
week
tuesdays
and
thursdays
partnering
a
community
organizer
with
a
writer
and
where
young
folks
are
going
to
be
able
to
better
their
craft,
but
also
think
about
you
know
what
is
a
local
campaign.
M
How
do
we
think
about
the
tactics
that
art
allows
for
us
to
get
the
word
out
about
campaigns
about
you
know,
being
an
arts
activist
you
know,
so
the
youth
cooperative
lab
is
is
something
that
we're
excited
to
start
and
a
big
part
of
our
work
is
collaborating
with
young
folks
as
well
on
their
stuff
that
they
want
to
do
in
the
community.
M
So,
for
example,
the
bridge
makers
recently
recently
had
an
event
in
our
space
that
helped
get
the
word
out
about
stuff
that
they're
doing,
but
most
of
our
events,
which
are
pretty
packed
when
we
have
them
normally
the
the
co-op
people
you
know,
come
and
go,
but
when
we
hold
events,
it's
mostly
attended
by
that
high
school
age,
early
college
age
group
of
folks
yeah.
M
So
when
we
so
one
of
the
reasons
why
we're
particularly
interested
in
this
idea
of
a
youth
poet,
laureate
again
is
because
when
when
I
was
in
high
school
youth
poetry,
slam
was
the
container
to
link
young
writers
to
mentors
in
a
national
experience
of
poetry.
M
So
that
was
my
first
national
experience
right
so
brave
new
voices.
You
know
a
500
poet
conference
from
folks
around
the
country.
I'm
really
around
the
world
actually
happening
every
year,
and
you
know
each
state
has
a
local
slam.
M
You
know
it
gives
a
kind
of
confidence
in
community.
That
is
just
so
important
right.
You
know,
and
you
know,
even
particularly
you
know,
andrea
jenkins.
You
know
I
mean
her.
You
know
her
story
of
you
know.
Gwendolyn
brooks
coming
to
her
classroom
in
chicago,
and
you
know
I've.
You
know,
andrea
has
been
a
judge
at
you
know:
poetry,
slams,
here
in
the
city,
so
there's
such
a
there's,
I
think
a
natural
affinity
with
poetry,
poets,
youth,
poetry,
slam
and
city
in
in
civic
engagement.
M
M
Also
participate
in
writing
workshops.
You
know
professional
development,
that's
a
part
of
the
larger
poetry,
slam
curriculum
right.
So
it's
not
just
the
events
themselves,
but
you
know
plugging
mentors
into
leading
these
young
people
through
a
process,
and
you
know
we
we
say
all
the
time.
It's
not
about
the
points
it's
about
the
poet
right,
so
it
speaks
to.
Even
if
you
know
a
a
young
person,
particularly
you
know,
doesn't
get
selected
you're
part
of
a
cohort.
That's
going.
G
M
A
thing
you
know
so
yeah,
that's
a
little
bit
about
how
we
see
young
folks
engaged
at
the
co-op
and
how.
A
About
does
anybody
else,
have
any
questions
or
comments
that
they
want
to
share
with
kino.
I
guess
I'll
just
volunteer
that
I
I
I'm
not
surprised
at
how
many
notes
I
took
and
all
the
powerful
points
you
had
in
your
conversation
here
and
telling
more
about
yourself
and
the
work
that
you
lead
at
black
table
arts.
A
It's
really
inspiring,
and
I
think
I
just
you
know,
I'm
just
very
appreciative
of
the
effort
that
it
takes
to
get
a
vision
like
this
to
happen
and-
and
I
know
that
you've
been
very
dedicated
for
a
super
long
time
and
just
what
a
treasured
amenity
you
have
created
for
our
community
and
prioritizing
youth
and
just
paying
that
forward
from
a
lived
experience
where
that
happened
is
I
you
know,
I've
just
been
commenting
to
some
other
people
that
I
admire
that,
like
one
of
the
greatest
gifts
that
we
can
ever
give
is
to
teach
what
we've
been
taught
and
and
to
just
gifts
to
continue
with
those
gifts
moving
forward
for
our
young
people.
A
So
I
know
a
lot
of
our
commissioners
feel
similarly,
but
anyway,
so
thank
you
keno.
Would
anyone
else
like
to
ask
any
questions
about
black
table
arts
or
keno,
specifically
or
even
the
youth
poet
laureate
initiative
that
he's
talking
about.
A
Okay,
well
with
that,
I
guess
I'll
just
say
on
behalf
of
everybody
here.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
time,
your
effort,
the
work
you're
doing
in
community.
We
hope
to
that
this
is
just
the
beginning
of
a
long
relationship
and
that
we
can
continue
to
find
meaningful
paths
to
collaborate
with
you
and
to
strengthen
your
work
and
to
strengthen
the
work
of
the
commission.
So
all
the
blessings
and
gratitude
you're
awake
thanks
everybody
for
holding
space
with
kino
today.
A
All
right,
so
we
are
moving
on
to
item
number
six
in
our
discussion
and
tina.
We
are
asking
you
to
provide
us
with
an
update
about
in-person
meetings.
B
Well,
I
don't
really
have
any
updates,
it's
pretty
much
still
the
same
as
far
as
september
30th,
that's
the
last
I've
heard
from
the
clerk's
office.
So
I
haven't
heard
anything
beyond
that.
I
know
that
we
push
back
our
go
back
to
in
person
as
far
as
cped
the
department
I
work
in
to
such
I'm
sorry
to
november.
First
so,
and
the
city
I
believe,
is
october.
B
So
so
there's
a
lot
of
moving
parts
right
now
and
I
I
apologize,
I
don't
really
have
any
new
updates,
but
I'm
still
I've
still
been
told
september
30th
for
in
person,
and
I
think
we
have
a
arson
commission's
meeting
next
week.
So
hopefully,
at
that
point
I'll
have
more
information.
I
can
pass
that
on.
As
soon
as
I
hear
from
the
clerk's
office.
A
I
I'm
sorry
somebody
joined
us
on
the
phone
that
I
think
wasn't
in
our
introductions.
Is
there
some
is
that?
Do
we
have
a
guest
present
that
we
didn't?
I
just
want
to
acknowledge.
If
someone
is
here,
if
that's
okay,
if
you
don't
mind
introducing
yourself,
was
there
someone
who
called
in.
A
Oh,
that's
great,
okay,
just
wanna
make
sure
thank
you
and
as
far
as
in-person
meetings,
I
think
the
biggest
implications
for
us
are
the
work
of
the
access
team
and
just
the
planning
and
all
the
work
that
goes
into
trying
to
make
those
things
go.
And
I
just
I
appreciate
that
this
uncertainty
is
not
helpful
at
all
and
the
uncertainty
of
the
pandemic
and
the
circumstances
we're
kind
of
facing
and
that
are
changing
all
the
time
is
also
very
challenging.
A
But
one
of
the
things
that
I
think
has
was
shared
an
executive
that
I
would
like
to
share
is
the
our
hope
that
we
can
continue
to
have
accessibility
via
virtual
participation,
that
we
know
that
this
decreases
barriers
for
a
lot
of
us
and
that
it
it
could
potentially
decrease
barriers
for
future
commissioners
as
well,
and
so,
like
just
hoping-
and
I
know
tina
knows
that,
like
while
I
think
everybody
would
like
nothing
more
than
to
be
able
to
be
together
in
a
space
and
especially
in
a
community
space,
and
especially
in
a
art
making
space
in
the
city
that
we
also
just
want
to
recognize
that
this
has.
A
This.
Does
have
accessibility
benefits
that
matter,
so
we'll
continue
to
carry
that
forward
and
tina.
Of
course,
if
you
feel
that
any
advocacy
is
needed
from
us,
you
know
we'll
will
be
as
helpful
as
we
are
able
to
be
for
that.
So
any
comments
or
feedback
about
in-person
meetings
and
just
not
knowing
when
or
if
they
can
happen,
go
ahead.
Jack.
L
Yeah,
I
think
that,
honestly,
the
pandemic
has
definitely
opened
up
the
how
many
in
accessibility
issues
there
are
right.
You
know
whether
it
be
closed,
captioning
or
being
able
to
be
there
by
video
or
remote
or
whatever,
and
so
I
I
think
that
you
know
it
as
as
much
as
I
think
it's
really
wonderful
that
we
all
want
to
be
in
person.
I
think
that
having
this
accessibility
issues
is
actually
really
important
to
maintain
and
to
have
for
future
meetings
so
that
you
know
it,
it
is
actually
accessible
to
the
majority
of
folks
yeah.
A
A
Okay,
all
right!
Thank
you.
Okay.
Item
number,
eight!
So
I'm
sorry!
Yes,
we
are
skipping
to
item
number
eight,
which
is
just
going
directly
into
our
alt
team
updates.
Now
so
executive
committee
you'll
see
some
dense
copy
there.
A
There
is
a
number
of
seats
that
are
expiring
at
the
end
of
this
year
and
the
executive
committee
just
wants
to
like
kind
of
let
everybody
know
that
we're
aware
of
this
and
our
plan
is
to
reach
out
to
each
of
you
and
we
all
kind
of
have
our
assignments
who's
going
to
reach
out
to
you
if
they
haven't
already
just
have
a
conversation
about
this
and
to
find
out
to
check
the
temperature
about
whether
or
not
there'll
be
a
renewal
of
the
application
status
for
the
seat
or
if
there
will
be
a
departure
that
we
plan
for
so
it's
clearly,
I
think
I
I
can
speak
on
behalf
of
everyone
that
we
appreciate
everybody's
efforts
and
their
talents
and
their
skills
and
abilities
on
the
commission.
A
We
wish
for
everyone
to
stay
but
understand
that
circumstances
be
that
they
are.
That
may
not
be
the
the
right
decision
for
each
of
the
people
who
have
served
their
term
so
just
know
just
be
know
that
someone
from
the
executive
committee
will
be
reaching
out
to
you
to
just
have
that
conversation.
So
hopefully
we
can
make
the
time
to
have
that
conversation
before
our
next
executive
committee.
Meeting.
The
other
item
here
is
the
current
vacancies.
A
We
have
intentionally
tried
to
keep
these
artists
seats
open
and
we
do
have
one
candidate
that
has
applied
that
we
are
willing
to
interview
and
mandy
and
murray,
and
I
have
been
volunteering
to
serve
as
our
interview
committee
and
we
need
to
get
together
about
a
time
that
will
work
to
interview
the
candidates
whose
application
we
have.
A
We
have
made
a
commitment
to
also
really
focus
on
bipac
commissioners
and
cultivating
and
networking
and
making
space
for
in
time
for
to
try
to
fill
those
seats
with
bipac
commissioners,
even
better
from
words
that
are
not
yet
represented
or
or
deserve
increased
representation.
So
I
I
know
that
this
is
a
really
challenging
task,
and
I
know
that
it's
kind
of
on
our
agenda
every
month.
A
I
ask
you
all
to
just
please
do
whatever
it
is
that
you
can
to
attract
a
candidate
pool
that
is
representational
of
our
community
in
any
way
that
you're
able
to,
and
I
can
work
a
little
harder
on
this
too.
There
are
a
lot
of
very
exciting
policy
discussions
that
are
forthcoming.
We
are
revamping
the
public,
art
policies,
slow,
but
sure,
there's
also
a
new
office
of
arts
and
cultural
affairs
that
we
were
helpful
in
advancing
something
that
is
like
monumental
right.
It's
like
what
is
that?
A
So
I
just
think
that,
like,
if
there's
a
way
to
like-
and
you
know,
entice
some
thought
leadership,
if
I
can
be
helpful
with
it,
if
any
of
us
can
be
helpful
with
it
like,
let's
try
and
again
my
I
am
tipping
my
hat
to
the
access
and
engagement
committee
who
has
been
out
meeting
people
and
talking
to
people
and
doing
that
work.
A
So,
thank
you
very
much
so
so
you
are
all
encouraged
to
give
that
a
little
bit
of
thought
and
potentially
commit
to
inviting
one
person
that
you
think
might
be
receptive
to
the
idea.
Okay,
any
other
feedback
or
considerations
about
that.
I
also,
I
guess
I
would
say
this-
isn't
on
our
on
our
agenda
for
updates,
but
the
idea
of
a
and
a
sort
of
quarter
four
retreat
has
come
up.
We've
done
that
in
the
past
the
pandemic
complicates
things.
A
What
does
that
look
like
what
outcomes
are
we
looking
for
also
the
year
in
review?
A
A
But,
like
is
there
some
sort
of
final
report
about
like
all
of
the
activity
that
we
did,
and
I
don't
know
if
anybody
else
on
exec
wants
to
comment
just
about
kind
of
where
we
are
at.
But
our
our
agenda
looks
much
like
the
general
mac
agenda
does
just
so
you're
aware
we
provide
each
other
with
updates
and
and
then
kind
of
talk
about
how
to
address
some
of
the
work,
that's
at
hand
as
well
as
supporting
our
alt
teams
and
accomplishing
their
goals
as
well.
K
I
am
excited
to
keep
kind
of
reaching
out
to
we've
been
working
on
reaching
out
to
community
members
organizations
artists
to
get
speakers
learn
more
about.
What's
going
on
in
the
community,
have
meetings-
and
you
know
suss
out
kind
of
the
possibilities
for
somebody
hosting
a
meeting
in
the
community
when
that
is
appropriate,
so
that
work
continues
also
some
brainstorming
around
recruitment
to
fill
these
vacant
seats
and
getting
the
word
out
that
there
is
opportunity
here
for
folks
to
come
through
and
join
us.
K
And
we
are
working
on
gathering
some
information
from
artists
who
have
worked
with
the
city
or
worked
with
yeah
in
in
all
kinds
of
ways
to
gather
information
about
how
to
what
can
we
focus
on
what
are
ways
that
we
can
make
minimize
barriers
and
make
some
of
the
work
with
the
city
more
accessible,
get
more
people
to
participate?
K
Think
about
any
kind
of
professional
or
artistic
development
kind
of
things
that
we
could
maybe
help
facilitate
or
connect
people
to,
and
I
feel
like
all
of
that,
like
everything
really
in
the
universe.
Let's
be
real,
is
interconnected
and
just
all
intersects
right,
like
you
know
the
work
the
city
is
doing
and
what
it
takes
to
do,
that
kind
of
work
and
updating
people
on
what
public
art
things
are
going
on,
and
the
budgets
and
the
you
know
the
new
department.
So
that's
kind
of
what
we've
been
working
on.
K
What
our
conversations
have
been
focused
on
one
little
quick
update
is,
I
noticed
in
the
minutes-
and
I
wasn't
there
this
month
or
last
month,
meaning
about
all
my
relations,
arts
and
I
have
reached
out
to
them.
Though
I
haven't
heard
back
so
unless
somebody
else
has
which
I
haven't
heard-
that's
not
actually
a
thing
that's
committed
to
yet,
but
that
would
be
an
exciting
space
to
be
in,
wouldn't
it
so
or
or
learn
more.
K
C
And
lisa
my
my
mu
button's
up
to
seven
seconds.
I
think
also
that
I'm
I've
I've
jumped
on
board
to
help
with
the
public
art
dedication
planning
mary
invited
us
as
the
the
alt
com,
like
access
engagement
to
kind
of
jump
on
board.
So
I'm
going
to
be
attending
that
meeting
next
week.
I
think
it's
next
week,
yeah
wow
august
is
flying,
let's
see
if
we
can
help
with
that
as
well.
On
behalf
of
the
mac.
A
Thank
you,
hey
appreciate
that
and
thank
you
so
much
crystal.
Those
are
wonderful
updates,
like
just
awesome
work
thanks.
So
much
and
I
know
a
couple
y'all
serve
on
the
exec
committee
too.
So
you're
really
given
of
your
time-
and
I
know
everybody
stays
busy.
So
just
thanks
so
much
I
I
hope
you
know
how
much
that
that
work
is
just
so
vital
and
important
and
critical
to
our
success
that
I
I
really
appreciate
that.
So
any
questions
or
comments
for
the
access
team.
E
A
That's
an
awesome
question.
I
think
I'll
punt
that
one
over
to
mary
and
I
do
mario.
I
think
this
has
come
up
before.
I
think
it
has
been
a
little
bit
unresolved
about
what
we
can
and
can't
do,
I'm
an
administrator
on
our
facebook
page
and
I
oftentimes
kind
of
don't
know.
If,
like
I
don't
know,
I
don't
know
so
mary.
Do
you
want
to
just
like
tell
us
where
things
are
at
today
and
is
there
any
opportunity
that
we
can
expand
social
media
platform
work.
N
So
the
city,
the
city,
is
trying
to
consolidate
its
all
of
the
pages
it
has
on
social
media.
It
has
a
lot
of
pages
on
social
media.
Most
of
the
city's
boards
and
commissions.
Don't
even
have
a
facebook
site,
but
the
arts
commission
started
theirs
so
early,
it
was
grandfathered
in
and
didn't
really
have
to
go
through
the
the
hoops
that
a
whole
bunch
of
other
specific
city
sites
have
had
to
go
through.
The
city
has
an
instagram
site.
N
N
You
know
all
of
that
needs
to
be
revamped,
and
I
think
we
just
all
need
to
be
patient,
because
this
is
going
to
be
like
one
of
the
one
of
the
agendas
of
the
new
department,
but
the
new
departments
also
can
have
a
whole
bunch
of
agendas
immediately,
including
doing
projects
related
to
the
american
rescue
act.
So
I
think
the
opportunity
will
be
there.
It's
not
going
to
be
there
for
a
while.
E
N
A
N
Oh,
I
think
if
we
want
to,
if
you
want
to
post
your
openings
on
instagram
on
the
city
of
minneapolis
site,
we
could
ask
him
to
do
that.
He
probably
would
do
that
and
yeah.
A
A
J
Sure
thing:
hi
friends,
we
just
want
to
loop.
You
in
on
some
of
the
conversations
we've
been
having
as
a
policy
team.
One
of
the
action
items
that
we've
been
discussing
is
the
consent
agenda
policies.
Looking
at
why
we
use
a
consent
agenda.
Does
everyone
know
how
that
works,
and
you
know
how
it's
beneficial
to
us?
So
we
have
some
notes
here
for
everyone
to
share,
but
right
now
we're
just
in
a
brainstorm
phase.
J
So
what
we're
doing
is
gathering
some
ideas
and
information
and
we're
also
calling
it
out
for
you,
lovely
commissioners,
to
respond
back
with
some
feelings
and
questions
that
we
have
here.
The
notes
are
are
pretty
clear
as
our
first
basic
steps,
but
it's
about
procedures.
It's
about
how
we
share
information
and
it's
really
about
a
call
to
what
our
criteria
should
be.
If
these
items
appear
on
our
agenda
for
consent
or
if
it's
more
of
a
discussion
process,
do
we
have
a
longer
presentation
for
certain
public
art
pieces?
What
would
the
criteria
be?
J
If
so,
is
the
main
question?
So
what
I
would
love
from
all
commissioners
would
be
a
short
but
sweet
email
to
myself
when
you
get
a
chance
of
somewhere
between.
You
know
one
to
infinity
questions
about
what
you
would
like
to
see
as
the
criteria
right
like
is
it
about
funding?
Is
it
about
community
resources?
J
Is
it
about
the
location
of
the
artwork
that
would
deem
it
necessary
to
have
a
broader
discussion?
What
do
you
think
for
me?
It's
at
least
all
of
those,
and
maybe
several
others.
So
what
I'll
do
is
pull
through
from
everyone's
emails
and
try
to
see
where
there
are
some
broad
strokes
so
that
we
can
develop
something
more
succinct
to
bring
to
a
future
math
meeting
where
we
would
then
vote
on
adopting
this
policy,
so
it
really
is
just
an
initial
brainstorming
phase.
J
You
know
this
agenda
item
here
includes
some
discussion
about.
You
know
48
hours
notice,
so
that
we
can
prepare
if
anybody
wants
to
move
something
from
consent
to
a
discussion
and
also
adding
some
dialogue
from
our
chair.
That
would
ask
if
any
consent
agenda
items
need
to
be
moved
at
the
top
of
each
meeting.
Also,
more
information
coming
out
earlier
to
commissioners.
So
that's
one
big
item
that
I'm
pushing
for
like.
J
Can
we
get
a
little
bit
more
broad
information
earlier
and
have
more
time
to
review
it
to
ask
questions
with
more
time
ahead
of
our
meetings.
So
those
are
some
questions
I
have,
and
I
I
welcome
all
the
questions
that
you
may
have
too
so
action
item
help
me
out.
Send
me
some
questions
for
criteria
for
this,
preferably
before
the
next
executive
meeting.
So
if
you
could
do
that,
I
would
greatly
appreciate
it
and
that's
the
update
on
where
we
are
with
that.
That's
it.
A
D
A
And
just
like,
if
I
could
just
give
so
thank
you
policy
team
for
cleaning
this
up
and
clarifying
our
process.
I
can
tell
you
just
a
little
bit.
I
know
you
all
know
this
stuff,
but
I
just
kind
of
like
to
give
a
little
background
of
like
a
couple
of
years
ago,
decisions
were
made
to
place
public
art
projects
in
a
consent
agenda
pattern
in
an
effort
to
create
room
in
our
meeting
time
for
our
alt
teams
to
advance
other
work,
not
that
the
public
art
items
were
not
important.
A
There's
a
great
representation
on
the
public
advisory
committee
of
mac
membership,
but
a
couple
of
things
have
happened.
One
is,
I
think
we
swayed
like
to
the
other
side
of
things.
A
little
too
hard
we're
like
consented
to
all
of
a
sudden.
Everything
was
on
consent
agenda
and
some
of
these
projects
are
monstrous.
They're,
huge
and
they're,
really
big
budgets,
with
lots
of
cultural
references
and
resources
and
and
community
members,
and
it's
like
whoa.
A
A
So
and
then
you
know
really
understanding
that,
like
the
commission
needs
to
have
a
little
more
information
about
these
bigger
projects
sooner
than
when
they
need
to
be
approved,
and
so
that
all
kind
of
is
a
part
of
the
conversation
as
well.
So
that's
where
commissioner
ailsworth
has
done
a
really
good
job
advocating
for
like
what
of
those
projects.
A
Do
we
need
updates
for
sooner
when
they're,
in
that
design
phase,
and
for
when
we
could
be
helpful
when
we
could
be
a
resource
of
information
for
artists
and
sort
of
provide
a
little
kick
the
tires
and
a
little
like,
hey
like.
We
would
want
to
see
this
so
that
we're
not
getting
a
buttoned
up
package
that
we
have
issue
with
right
and
that
it's
like
disruptive
and
whatever.
A
So
I
know
that
a
lot
of
you
really
know
that
context,
but
for
so
first
any
of
you
who
don't
that's
kind
of
where
this
is
happening,
and
that's
why
it's
like
so
greatly
appreciated
that
the
policy
team
picked
it
up
and
are
moving
forward
with
that.
So,
thank
you
so
much,
commissioner
edward.
Is
there
any
and
everyone
who's
on
policy?
Is
there
any
other
comments?
Questions
feedback
about
the
consent,
agenda
policy,
work
right
now:
okay,
let's
advance
to
the
next
item,
then
the
poet
laureate
work
group.
J
Hi
me
again:
we're
gonna
get
a
poet
laureate,
it's
pretty
exciting.
So
at
our
last
meeting
we
said
who
wants
to
work
on
it,
and
I
said
I
will,
and
so
did.
The
hava
and
vandy
has
joined
the
fold
as
well.
We
would
still
welcome
another
commissioner
if
anyone
else
has
interest.
J
The
big
update
here
is
that
we
do
have
a
meeting
sent
both
set
with
both
council
member
fletcher
and
council
vice
president
jenkins
for
monday,
so
we're
going
to
be
meeting
monday
at
four
o'clock
to
discuss
more
information,
hopefully
talking
through
some
budget
steps.
J
So
what
our
working
group
is
currently
working
on
is
a
bit
of
an
email
share
on
looking
at
other
cities,
what
they
do
with
poet
laureates
specifically
ones
like
gold
goon
recommended
last
time
that
we
look
at
ones
with
youth
initiatives,
and
I
loved
that
kino
echoed
that
today
in
the
intro,
so
something
that
has
a
youth
component,
something
that
really
serves
our
community
and
you
know
like
looking
at
what
financial
backing
has
provided,
who
has
provided
that
financial
backing
and
what
are
some
of
the
criteria
that
other
cities
have
looked
at.
So
that's.
J
That's
part
of
the
research
that
we're
all
doing
independently
and
then
email
sharing
together,
so
that
everyone
has
insight
on
what
the
commitment
would
look
like.
It
looks
like
some
googling
some
emailing
and
maybe
an
extra
meeting
each
month
with
our
working
group
and
then
an
additional
meeting
each
month,
hopefully
with
city
representation
too.
So
we're
also
going
to
be
asking
about
next
steps
like
who
else
is
going
to
be
at
the
table.
J
Obviously
you
know
it's
great
that
kino
has
interest
and
we
would
we
would
love
to
welcome
even
more
voices
and
so
we're
going
to
be
asking
council
members
how
to
best
facilitate
that
and
what
it
looks
like
going
forward
and
then
I'm
just
reading
a
lot
of
poetry.
I'm
out
here,
I'm
in
northern
michigan
by
the
lake
I
brought
like
five
different
books
of
local
poetry.
It's
like
my
new
jam
friends
like.
Can
you
read
a
poem
in
the
morning?
J
Can
you
live
with
that
poem
all
day
long
and
then
see
if
you
read
it
again
at
night,
if
it's
totally
different,
this
is
like
my
new
favorite
thing
so
who
knew
thanks
arts?
Commission
everybody
should
be
on
this
working
group
because
you
know
you
get
to
read
poems.
If
that's
not
your
bag,
maybe
it
could
be
anybody
else.
Throw
your
hat
in
the
ring.
Just
email
me,
yeah
jack.
I
see
a
hand.
L
Yeah
I'll
throw
my
hat
and
wing
I
I
am
awesome
yeah,
I
I
don't
have
a
lot
of
background
in
literary
arts,
but
I
think
this
might
be
a
good
opportunity
for
me
to
to
throw
I
mean
yeah.
I've
done
every
other
art,
basically
so
cool
I'll
be
happy
to
be
participating,
and
especially
I
mean
if
I
can
bring
any
sort
of
administrative
help
or
you
know,
scheduling
or
anything
like
that.
That's
definitely.
J
L
Yeah
I
just
checked
I'll
I'll.
I
could
connect
with
you
offline,
but
it
might
be
good
to
send
it
to
my
umn
address
because
I
did
using
tony.
A
D
J
J
Awesome,
thank
you
a
hand
from
jeff.
G
I
think
crystal
was
first.
G
No
okay,
then
I'll
go
so,
and
I
had
to
step
out
for
for
one.
Second,
I,
when
the
council
members
were
here,
they
they
had
mentioned
something
about
wanting
to
get
back
by
like
late
august.
G
Is
that
part
of
the
plan,
and
they
also
were
very
eager
to
get
something
going
by
october
because
of
elections
and
things
are
getting
so?
I
just
like
I
said
I
didn't
hear
all
of
all
of
your
reporters
so
make
sure
we're
on
time
on
the
timeline
to
make
sure
we
can
get
this
over,
because
they
had
the
desire
to
make
sure
that
they
they
could
get
it
in
the
budget
in
for
the
october
meeting.
So
if
I
missed
something,
I
apologize.
J
No
worries,
thank
you
so
much.
That's
also
one
of
our
priorities,
so
I
was
mentioning
that
we
are
meeting
with
council
member,
fletcher
and
council
vice
president
jenkins
on
monday
august
23rd
at
four
o'clock.
So
we
have
a
meeting
set
up
for
a
working
group.
We
just
got
a
new
member
with
jack,
so
you
know
if
anyone
else
still
wants
to
join
in
the
working
group.
J
You
know
not
to
say
a
seat
at
the
table
when
we're
talking
about
black
table
arts
there's
a
lot
of
tables,
but
I
just
think
he's
phenomenal
and
should
be
at
every
table.
There
is
so
we're
gonna
make
sure
that
that
happens,
and
hopefully
partner
with
you
mentioned
loft
literary
center.
So
more
questions
than
answers,
hopefully,
more
answers
to
come.
C
J
Yeah,
I'm
not
I'm
not
sure
how
the
working
group
works
being
that
we're
just
kind
of
starting
it
up
from
scratch.
So
that's
that's
one
of
the
questions
of
what
that
will
look
like
going
forward.
I
thought
the
main
thing
to
start
would
be
some
basic
research
and
some
budgeting
ideas
and
then
to
broaden
the
circle
from
there
exponentially.
I
hope
you
know
little
ripples.
J
A
Think
it
makes
a
lot
of
sense
because
sometimes
it
is
difficult
to
invite
people
who
are
busy
leaders
in
our
community
without
knowing
what
the
commitment
looks
like
like.
What
is
the
deadline
for
what
like?
Is
it
an
open
call?
Is
it
a
nomination
process?
Is
it
a
you
know?
Is
it
a?
Is
it
a
community
like?
Is
it
you
know
just
kind
of
like
what
are
the
outcomes
are
elected?
A
Looking
for
what
the
investments
they're
proposing
and
I
love
the
research
component,
so
I
think
defining
that
just
a
little
bit
better
and
getting
it
a
little
more
clear
will
help
us
with
roles
responsibilities
and
we
maybe
won't
have
as
much
ambiguity
plus,
like
the
I
mean
again,
like
I
just
kind
of
say,
like
the
deadline,
is
what
for
what
you
know
and-
and
we
can
work
with
that-
I
think
anybody
can.
A
You
know
like
we
can
turn
things
around
as
quickly
as
we
can
and
still
hopefully
reach
the
outcomes
that
are,
but
that-
and
I
missed
the
meeting
last
month.
So
I
know
that
a
lot
of
this
was
talked
about,
but
it
will
be
helpful
to
dial
down
and
and
and
even
if
they,
even
if
they
aren't
unsure.
Like
that's
an
okay
answer
too,
we
just
need
to
know
like
what
exactly
are
the
expectations
for
the
development
of
this
you
know
program.
A
So
I
want
to
mention
that
in
the
chat
too,
I'm
not
sure
dropped
that,
but
tamiko
french
was
interested
too.
So
I
think
maybe
having
a
list
of
people
who
have
expressed
interest
is
going
to
be
of
importance
and
just
bring
that
up
that
that's
it's
building
already.
So
that's
great,
that's
an
excellent
thing.
A
All
right,
we
will
move
on
to
public
art
updates,
and
I
am
asking
for
mary
to
give
us,
I'm
not
sure
if
you
prepared
a
short
presentation
about
basically
where
we
were
talking
at
our
last
public
art
advisory
meeting
about
the
accession,
and
so
that
is
the
project,
and
it's
it's
more.
It's
not
so
much
that
formally.
We
have
to
approve
or
have
any
kind
of
formal
process
right
now
for
reasons
that
mary
can
describe,
but
from
a
learning
place.
A
N
Oh,
I
hope
my
thing
is
a
non-auto
forward,
so
so
I
just
we
are
I'm
gonna.
Stop
that.
N
So
we
are
in
the
process
of
de-assessing
the
columbia
park
gateway,
and
I
thought
I
would
just
update
you
about
it.
Normally,
you
would
actually
make
a
decision
related
to
this,
but
because
of
unique
circumstances,
this
does
not
need
to
go
to
the
commission.
N
N
That
includes
review
by
everybody,
including
the
city
council,
because
de-assessing
is
kind
of
a
big
deal
and
we
want
them
and
we
hardly
send
anything.
The
commission
decides
back
to
this
up
to
the
city
council,
but
de-assessing
is
one
of
the
things
that
goes
to
them.
N
So
just
a
few
things
about
the
policy,
it
recognizes
that
artworks
don't
live
forever,
they
have
a
lifespan,
it
requires
a
community
meeting,
it
requires
artist
input
and
the
artists
might
also
have
certain
rights
through
the
visual
artist
rights
act,
and
it's
just
that,
whatever
recommendation
folks
come
up
with,
they
also
decide
what
happens
to
it.
When
it's
the
assessed,
does
it
get
sold?
Does
it
get
destroyed?
Does
it
get?
N
Do
we
give
it
to
somebody
that
kind
of
thing
the
the
accession
of
the
columbia
park
gateway
is
due
to
the
redevelopment
of
the
site
which
is
owned
by
hennepin
county
for
a
warehouse
distribution
center
and
the
gateway
is
in
northeast
minneapolis.
N
The
very
north
part
of
northeast
minneapolis
across
the
street
from
the
gateway
is
fridley.
It's
on
university
avenue.
It
was
installed
in
2000
in
2000,
and
the
artists
are
ann
clefstad
who
lives
and
jeffrey
calstrom
who
both
live
in
duluth.
N
It
is
really
a
community
garden
more
than
anything
else,
and
the
work
includes
garden
beds,
picnic
tables
and
a
shelter.
Many
of
the
elements
of
the
gateway
that
were
designed
by
the
artists.
You
wouldn't
know
that
they
are
art.
They
look
like
your
typical
picnic,
shelter,
your
typical
your
typical
benches.
N
N
The
panel
and
the
arts
commission
decided
not
to
invest
a
lot
of
money
in
this
project
because
in
terms
of
maintenance,
because
it
just
first
of
all
not
very
durable,
it's
all
many
parts
are
wood,
which
we
hardly
ever
invest
in
just
regular
wood
for
an
outdoor
artwork,
but
also
because
it
artistically
it
wasn't
very
strong
compared
to
other
artworks.
We
owned
in
the
collection
and
the
community
wasn't
very
engaged
in
the
work
aside
from
the
garden
club.
N
The
city
attorney
decided
to
stop
leasing
it
because
he
thought
it
was
not
in
the
city's
best
interest
to
lisa's
site,
because
the
garden
club
was
not
part
of
the
agreement
and
there
was
a
lot
of
liability
related
to
the
garden
club
using
the
site
and
the
garden
club
and
the
neighborhood
said
they
weren't
interested
in
participating
in
the
actual
leaks
and
so
the
city,
just
let
the
lease
expire
when
hennepin
county
told
us
that
they
wanted
to
redevelop
the
site
and
picked
developer.
N
We
consulted
the
city
attorney
and
said
you
know
what
kind
of
approvals
do
we
need
from
the
artists
and
the
city
attorney
went
well.
Do
you
know
that
we
don't
even
own
this
work
anymore?
Do
you
know
that
the
lease
says
that
the
artwork
gets
turned
over
to
hennepin
county
when
the
the
lease
expires,
and
so
you're
like?
Oh
well?
So
that's
why
it
doesn't
actually
have
to
go
to.
You
is
because
we
don't
actually
own
it
anymore.
It
was
the
assessed
legally,
even
though
we
weren't
really
aware
of
that.
N
So
the
attorney
recommended
that
the
artist
sign
a
waiver
of
their
rights
through
the
visual
artist
rights
act,
which
the
the
act
prevents
artists
from
having
their
works
destroyed,
and
so
we
contacted
the
artist
told
them
about
the
situation
and
the
artists
have
agreed
to
sign
waivers.
So
just
a
couple
of
next
steps.
N
So
we
talked
to
the
artists
they're,
not
interested
in
any
of
the
elements
we
talked
to
the
garden
club
they're,
not
really
interested
in
any
of
the
elements
we
talked
to
the
neighborhood
or
association
and
they're
not
really
interested
in
any
of
the
elements,
but
with
one
exception,
the
artist
has
expressed
expressed
an
interest
in
getting
the
water
tank
out
of
the
water
tower
and
reusing
it
personally.
N
But
the
the
developer
has
agreed
to
reincorporate
these
sweet
little
plaques
that
are
currently
in
a
concrete
bench
into
the
development,
probably
on
a
concrete
pad
adjacent
to
the
sidewalk
somewhere.
They
haven't
decided
exactly
where
so,
and
we
anticipate
that
this
work
will
start
getting
removed.
Actually.
N
Of
the
month,
so
that's
just
kind
of
my
briefing.
Normally
this
would
come
to
you.
You
would
have
to
decide
what
you
wanted
to
do
with
it,
but
legally
we
don't
need
to
do
that
this
time
around.
I
wanted
to
kind
of
brief
you
about
it,
because
these
are
difficult
decisions
usually,
and
it
would
have
been
a
lot
for
you
to
chew
on
and
just
to
remind
you
that
the
accession
exists.
It
happens
and
it
comes
to
you
on
occasion,
but
not
very
often,
usually
every
three
or
four
or
five
years.
A
N
We
have
about
90
pieces
with
about
over
350
elements.
Some
of
these
pieces
span
blocks
and
blocks
and
blacks,
and
so-
and
you
know
some
pieces
just
include
one
element,
but
we
do
own
about
90
pieces
and
you
know
we
can't
afford
to
just
keep
building
art
forever
and
not
the
excess.
Some
we
have
to
get
rid
of
pieces
that
aren't
significant
and
you
know
an
artwork
usually
has
a
a
life
span
that
you
know
works
that
have
been
extremely
significant.
N
A
A
Awesome
well,
thank
you
for
being
generous
in
that
learning.
I
think
it's
important
and
I
think
this
will
be
something
that
will
come
up
again
so
now
we've
got
a
little
bit
of
experience
about
what
the
process
looks
like
and
it
may
at
some
point,
be
a
bigger
decision
for
us
to
consider
at
some
point,
but
in
this
instance
it
isn't
so
it's
kind
of
a
nice
way
to
dip
our
toes
in
understanding
how
this
works.
So,
okay,
is
there
any
new
business
anybody.
A
All
right,
excellent,
so
action
steps
mary
already
sent
the
email
to
the
social
media
person
that
is
done.
You
all
are
expected
to
spend
a
little
bit
of
email,
one
email
to
lana
about
the
criteria
that
you
think
is
important
for
us
to
have.
That
will
help
us
to
determine
when
we
pull
public
art
projects
from
consent
or
anything
for
that
matter
from
consent,
typically
public
art
projects,
and
I
think
that
you
know
the
work
of
your
work
plans,
of
course,
is
always
hopefully
helping
to
guide
you
forward.
A
We
will
be
interviewing
another
candidate
next
week.
We
are
asking
you
to
please
continue
to
campaign
for
people
to
join
us
and
prioritizing
bipac
individuals
that
live
or
work
in
the
city
of
minneapolis.
So,
let's
see
there
is
a
process
to
adjourn
with
that.
We
have
completed
all
the
items
on
the
agenda
for
this
meeting.
I
will
ask
members
and
staff
if
there
are
any
further
matters
to
come
before
this
meeting.
