D
J
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I'd
like
to
bring
forward
a
motion
on
number
12
on
the
exterior
materials.
This
is
something
I've
distributed
to
everybody.
We've
had
a
vigorous
conversation
and
talked
with
staff.
We
just
think
it'd
be
best
to
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
it.
So
I'm
just
moving
it
forward
with
the
motion
that
I've
distributed.
B
B
I
don't
see
any
I
I'll
just
quickly
comment.
You
know,
I'm
I'm
still
a
co-author
on
this
ordinance,
which
was
initially
initiated
last
term.
The
the
back
story
is
that
when
I
was
working
on
the
very
earliest
stages
of
parking
reform,
there
was
concern
from
council
members
who
represented
parts
of
the
city
that
are
lower
income
lower
rent
and
they
were
very
concerned
about
the
quality
of
building
materials
in
their
communities,
especially
if
we
made
it
easier
to
build
housing.
B
So
I
promised,
along
with
you
know
what
was,
I
think,
unanimous
passage
of
that
ordinance
to
work
together
with
them
and
others
to
ensure
that
we
were
improving
the
quality
of
our
materials
so
that
neighborhoods
across
the
city
have
equally
solid
and
sustainable
materials.
So
I
know
that
this
has
been
a
long
process
and
staff
is
as
diligently
working
on
this
as
well
as
a
number
of
council
members.
So
thanks
for
all
the
work
that
has
happened
so
far,
and
I
look
forward
to
supporting
its
completion
any
further
discussion.
F

F
I
A

D
D
F
A
B
E
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
good
morning,
everyone,
my
apologies.
I
was
having
some
significant
computer
issues
internet
issues
this
morning,
so
but
I'm
here
now
and
the
policy
and
government
oversight
committee
will
be
bringing
forward
37
items
today.
Item

item
number
11
is
accepting
a
bid
for
target
center
kitchen
219
food
service
equipment.
E
E
E
While
this
item
is
on
the
agenda,
staff
is
recommending
that
this
item
be
held
over
in
council
for
one
cycle
to
allow
for
the
completion
of
a
fiscal
and
ratio.
Equity
impact
analysis
to
score
correspond
with
this
direction
and,
madam
president,
I
will
stand
for
questions
I
I
believe
councilmember
wright
may
be
making
a
motion
to
this
effect.
H
Thank
you,
madam
president.
Yeah
as
council.
Vice
president
indicated,
we
will
move
this
forward,
so
additional
paperwork
can
be
done
with
a
fiscal
note,
etc,
and
so
I'll
move
to
continue
the
staff
direction
related
to
the
high
wealth
and
maintenance
facility.
Campus
expansion
project
to
october
8
2021
council
meeting
to
allow
for
the
completion
of
the
updated
fiscal
and
racial
equity
impact
analysis
to
correspond
with
this
direction.
I
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
so
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
it's
not
to
complete
further
paperwork.
It
is
to
assess
the
real
impact
of
this
project
on
the
real
lives
of
black
indigenous
latino,
immigrant
and
refugee
residents
in
the
city.
I
So
I
have
a
question
for
the
clerk's
office
in
terms
of
procedure
and
process,
mostly
because
when
we
were
in
this
specific
juncture
in
time
with
the
staff
direction
that
we
approved
to
suspend
the
project,
we
were
told
it
could
not
be
on
the
council
agenda
at
a
full
council
meeting
and
I
did
pull
up
the
agenda
from
the.
I
believe
it
was
the
september
10th
council
meeting
that
we
had
and
there
is
no
roof
depot.
Hiawatha
campus
expansion,
information
on
that
particular
agenda.
I
I
was
a
little
surprised
to
see
this
agenda
today
because
it's
incomplete
it
does
not
have
a
rhea,
a
racial
equity
impact
analysis
and
it
doesn't
have
a
fiscal
note
and
so,
from
a
procedural
perspective,
I
feel
like
these
two
items.
You
know
the
motion
that
was
approved
earlier
in
the
month
to
suspend
the
project.
Was
you
know?
I
don't
know
how?
What
word
I
should
say,
was
prevented
from
being
on
the
council
agenda
because
it
didn't
have
a
rhea
or
a
fiscal
note.
I
Yet
this
item
gets
squarely
put
onto
the
agenda,
not
only
with
you
know
the
the
lack
of
rhea
and
fiscal
note,
but
it
also
has
a
very
different
language
from
what
was
discussed
and
voted
on
and
written
out
at
the
council
meeting
on
wednesday
at
the
pogo
meeting.
So
there's
just
you
know
a
few
sort
of
red
flags
that
are
coming
up
for
me
on
this,
and
I
just
really
want
to
be
able
to
explain
to
the
community.
I
I
A
Madam
president,
if
you
would
like
a
response
from
the
clerk
I'm
more
than
happy
to
give
that
to
the
body,
yes,
that's
fine,
I'm
happy
to
help
as
well
all
right,
thank
you
and
I
I
do
apologize
if
there's
been
a
little
bit
of
confusion
about
this
item,
when
this
came
forward
to
the
pogo
committee,
the
clerk's
office
hadn't
seen
the
motion,
and
so
I
do
apologize
that
you
know
we
have
it
on
the
agenda.
The
correct
legislative
procedure
would
have
been
to
keep
it
in
committee.
A
We
thought
that
the
the
fiscal
note
in
the
ria
from
2018
would
have
been
appropriate
to
to
cover
this
item,
but
upon
further
review
of
the
record
from
2018.
This
is
a
different
proposal,
and
so
then
we
determined
that
it
should
be
held
for
a
fiscal
note
and
area
because
of
the
timing
of
the
agenda.
It
was
already
on
the
the
printed
council
agenda
and
also
we
also
went
back
and
corrected
the
actual
motion
that
was
passed.
A
I
have
reviewed
the
vid
the
meeting
video
and
what
is
stated
on
the
agenda
is
the
correct
motion
that
was
passed
by
a
seven
to
six
vote
so
again,
sorry
for
some
confusion
with
these
last
minute
items
that
came
forward,
but
this
is
why
we
are
recommending
that
it
be
continued
at
this
meeting
to
to
the
next
council
meeting
to
allow
staff
to
complete
the
appropriate
fiscal
note
and
ria
documentation.
A
If
it's
the
will
of
this
body,
to
not
continue
that
council
and
send
it
back
to
committee.
You
know
we
will
proceed
on
that
course
as
well.
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
Thank
you
for
that
response,
madam
clerk,
and
I
do
just
have
a
further
clarification
point
here,
so
I
I
understand
that
the
particular
staff
direction
that
is
written
on
the
council
agenda
today
has
two
points.
I
B
I
B
I
A
Council
vice
president
or
council
president
bender,
that's
correct.
We
are
recommending
that
it
stay
at
at
council
level,
and
that
is
what
council
member
reich
has
moved,
but
if
the
body
wishes
for
it
to
go
back
to
poco
committee
and
the
author
is
willing
to
change
that,
of
course,
that
would
be
up
to
this
body
to
vote.
Thank
you.
G
My
I
was
attempting
to
amend
the
motion-
I
guess
or
put
a
substitute
or
just
to
clarify
what
the
council
president
said
and
move
that
this
will
continue
the
staff
direction
and
refer
it
back
to
the
pogo
committee
during
the
next
cycle.

Thank
you,

B
C
Thank

I
just
wanted
to

a
moment
to
comment
on
items
two
and
three.
If
that
would
be
appropriate.
Now,
yes,
go

Thank

madam

and
council

reich
every
five
years.
The
city
council
has

opportunity

renew
or
deny
the
renewal
of
the
downtown
improvement
district.
Today
the
transportation
public
works
committee
is
bringing
forward
the
five-year
renewal.
I
just
want
to
take
a
moment
to
point
out
what
a
big
deal
this
is.
This.
C
Department
is
already
doing
as
it
pertains
to
a
clean,
green
and
safe
downtown.
I
want
to
take
the
opportunity
to
thank
all
of
the
various
property
owners
who
have
committed
to
continue
to
tax
themselves
as
our
partners
in
ensuring,
like
all
of
the
other,
incredible
special
service
districts
around
the
city
and
many
of
them
are
being
renewed.
Today
we
appreciate
your
ongoing
commitment
financially
to
making
sure
our
city

clean,
green
and
safe.
Thank
you.

B
That
carries
and
that
item
is
referred
to
pogo
in
the
next
cycle.
The
next
order
of
business
is
notice
of
ordinance
interactions.
We
have
one
notice
this
morning
from
council
member
osman
to
amend
the
offensive
miscellaneous
code
relating
to
noise,
to
amend
regulations
related
to
amplified
sound
permitting.
Are
there
any
questions
from
council
members
on
this
notice
today.
B
B
Third,
is
a
motion
by
council
member
reich
to
amend
regulations
in
the
traffic
code
to
modernize
and
enhance
current
traffic
conditions
and
situations
for
referral
to
the
transportation
of
public
works
committee
and,
finally,
a
motion
by
council
member
fletcher
to
update
the
dates
for
the
20-year
neighborhood
park
plan
under
the
administration
section
of
the
code
for
referral
to
the
policy
and
government
oversight
committee.
Are
there
any
questions
from
council
members
or
comments
on
those
introductions
and
referrals.
D
F
G
I
A
E
B
I
think
maybe
I
will
also
just
pause
with
a
comment
here
that
myself
and
other
customers
I
know
have
been
in
conversation
with
city
staff
related
to
any
ordinances
that
may
be
required
to
implement
charter
amendments
that
if
they
are
to
pass
in
november,
we
have
not
received
a
recommendation
from
staff
to
begin
an
ordinance
introduction
process
at
this
time.
As
council
members
know,
ordnance
processes
as
they
go
through
our
typical
ordinance
introduction
process
take
quite
a
long
time
to
even
get
to
the
committee
for
consideration.
B
With
that
we
have
completed
the
work
in
our
the
open
portion
of
our
meeting.
I
will
pause
here
before
we
do
have
a
closed
session
coming
up.
I
will,
I
always
forget
to
do
the
announcements
after
we
come
back
from
closed
session,
so
I
will
see
if
my
colleagues
have
announcements
for
the
announcement
sections
now
before
we
head
to
closed
session.
Are
there
any
announcements
from
council
members.
B
We
have
a
request
for
a
closed
session
this
morning
to
receive
a
briefing
on
contract
negotiation
strategies
with
the
laborers
local
6.
Sorry
3,
363
bargaining
unit.
Before
I
move
to
close
the
meeting
I'll
call
upon
the
city
attorney's
office
with
deputy
attorney
eric
nielsen,
to
give
us
the
reasoning
for
the
requested
session.
K
Thank
you,
council,
president,
bender
and
good
morning.
This
next
item
on
the
agenda
is,
as
you
mentioned,
consideration
of

labor
negotiations
involving

consideration
of
negotiation
strategies
or
discussion
and
review
of
labor
negotiation
proposals
may
be
held
in
a
closed

pursuant
to
minnesota

That
carries
and
we
will
now
move
to
the
closed
session,
we'll
reconvene
in
open
session
after
we've
concluded
the
closed
session.
So
for
my
colleagues,
you'll
need
to
exit
out
of
this
meeting
and
join
the
teams
meeting
for
the
closed
session
for
the
public.
This
meeting
will
continue
while
we're
in
closed
session,
so
you'll
just
see
the
screen
as
it
is,
and
then
we'll
rejoin
the
public
meeting
after
we're
concluded.
A
Madam
president,
I

confirmed

So
if
you
would
like
to
reconvene
us,
the
time
is
