From YouTube: May 12, 2021 Committee of the Whole
Description
A
B
Good
morning,
everyone,
my
name,
is
jeremiah
ellison,
I'm
the
chair
of
the
committee
of
the
whole
and
I'm
going
to
call
to
order
our
regular
committee
meeting
for
wednesday
may
12th
I'd
like
to
note
for
the
record.
This
meeting
has
remote
participation
by
council
members
and
city
staff
as
authorized
under
the
under
the
minnesota
open
meeting
law,
section
13
d
point
1
0.021
due
to
the
declared
state
of
local
public
health
emergency.
B

I

You
let
the
record
reflect.
We
have
a
quorum.
We
have
two
items
on
today's
agenda.
In
addition
to
reports
of
committees
item
one
on
our
agenda
is
a
presentation
from
researchers
and
professors
at
the
university
of
minnesota.
I
have
invited
several
subject
matter:
experts
to
speak
about
current
research
on
key
areas
of
need
in
the
city,
especially
as
we
continue
into
our
phase
of
economic
recovery.
In
the
wake
of
the
pandemic,
they
will
address
topics
including
children
and
youth,
housing
and
homelessness,
and
safety
and
wellness.
B
This
is
obviously
not
in
lieu
of
our
own
process
for
determining
rescue
plan
funds,
but
rather
to
give
us
information
on
an
informative
look
at
what
the
most
recent
data
can
tell
us
about.
Who
needs
help
most
in
minneapolis,
as
we
answered
as
we
enter
into
this
phase
of
economic
recovery
and
as
we
see
an
increase
in
vaccinations,
each
of
the
experts
will
present
for
up
to
five
minutes.
Then
we
will
move
into
discussion
and
council
members
are
welcome
to
ask
questions.
O
B
O
B
I
K
I
I
P
Okay,
I
am
delighted
to
be
here
and
I'm
particularly
happy
that
the
city
council
wanted
to
hear
from
researchers
about
recent
evidence.
I've
studied
risk
and
resilience
in
children
for
decades,
collaborating
with
many
wonderful
colleagues
in
minneapolis,
both
in
the
schools
and
in
community
programs.
P
But
I
also
study
resilience
and
we
know
from
research
that
children
from
high-risk
families
can
succeed
with
support
from
family
schools,
communities
and,
I
would
add,
policy
makers.
Much
of
my
research
has
focused
on
the
ways
that
homelessness
poverty
and
trauma
jeopardize
positive
development
and
also
successful
outcomes
later
in
life.
P
P
Yesterday,
when
I
checked
in
with
people
serving
people
about,
two-thirds
of
the
families
staying
in
the
shelter
now
are
black
and
about
11
percent
are
native
american.
These
disparities
have
persisted
for
a
long
time.
Students
in
the
minneapolis
public
schools
identified
as
homeless
are
also
disproportionately
children
of
color.
If
we're
going
to
address
the
profound
achievement
despairs
in
minneapolis,
which
are
no
doubt
aggravated
by
the
pandemic,
we
have
to
attend
to
disparities
of
both
risk
and
opportunity
for
children
of
color
and
their
families.
P
We've
learned
that
resilience
in
children
depends
on
effective
families,
schools
and
communities
that
support
child
development
for
sure,
adult
development
and
that's
more
the
case
for
children
who
are
already
struggling
based
on
the
research
we
have
on
risk
and
resilience,
particularly
in
the
case
of
poverty
and
homelessness.
I
recommend
you
consider
the
following:
first:
reduce
preventable
risks
that
threaten
child
development,
such
as
homelessness
and
eviction,
exposure
to
violence
and
maternal
depression,
food
insecurity
and
multiple
foster
placements.
P
There's
a
critical
shortage
right
now
of
qualified
labor
for
for
helping
these
programs
invest,
in
other
words,
in
a
minneapolis,
that's
safe,
equitable,
and
I
would
also
underscore
the
desire
of
the
council
to
become
for
minneapolis
to
become
a
child
friendly
city
committed
to
protecting
children
now
and
nurturing
their
resilience
in
the
future.
I'll
stop
there
and
look
forward
to
the
discussion.
I
N
O
N
I
see
okay,
no
problem.
Well,
I
can
just
talk
through
them,
then.
So,
thank
you.
Everybody
thank
you
for
inviting
me
today
and
for
ed
for
organizing
us.
So
what
I
wanted
to
do
today
was
just
to
give
a
really
quick
kind
of
introduction
to
a
couple
of
projects
that
I've
been
working
on
over
the
last
couple
of
years
and
really
just
sort
of
open
it
up
for
a
conversation
later
in
the
meeting.
N
So
my
name
is
michelle:
phelps,
I'm
an
associate
professor
of
sociology
and
law
at
the
university
of
minnesota,
and
so
over
the
last
two
years
I've
been
working
on
two
different
projects:
one
of
them
focused
on
mass
probation
or
the
expansion
of
community
supervision
in
hennepin
county
and
the
other
focused
on
policing,
police
reform,
community
perceptions
of
the
police
and
policing
activism
in
minneapolis,
and
both
of
these
projects
have
recent
reports
for
the
policing
project.
We
recently
published
a
report
in
the
cure
reporter
called
over-policed
and
under-protected.
N
Public
safety
in
north
minneapolis
and
the
probation
and
health
project
is
has
a
report
that
will
be
online
next
month.
And
so
I
have
links
that
I
can
put
in
the
chat
once
I'm
done
speaking
so
that
folks
can
easily
find
these
materials.
So
for
the
policing
in
minneapolis
project.
The
the
data
collection
there
involved
interviews
with
residents
in
north
minneapolis
interviews,
with
activists
and
interviews
with
city
leaders
between
2017
and
2019,
and
then
a
series
of
observations
at
events
and
vigils
and
hearings
around
policing,
police
violence,
police
reform
and
policing
transformation.
N
And
from
2017
to
to
the
present.
The
mass
probation
and
hennepin
county
project
did
in-depth
surveys
with
160
adults
who
were
currently
on
probation
in
hennepin
county
and
then
colleagues
of
mine,
at
the.
U
and
in
the
county,
also
conducted
interviews
with
probation
officers
with
health
care
providers
and
an
analysis
of
administrative
data
to
really
look
at
this
intersection
between
supervision
and
health.
N
And
so
you
might
think
that,
besides
being
connected
to
the
criminal
justice
system,
that
these
two
projects
are
fairly
disparate.
But
in
fact,
some
of
the
key
findings
from
both
projects,
I
think,
overlap
significantly
and
and
suggest
some
recommendations
for
how
the
city
spends
these
rescue
act
funds
so,
first,
what
we
find
across
both
projects
is
that
people
really
want
to
feel
safe
in
the
community
and
for
people
who
are
involved
in
the
criminal
legal
system.
N
Many
of
them
describe
how
they
also
felt
unsafe
in
the
community
and
and
the
kind
of
the
the
broader
impacts
on
their
wellness,
that
drove
them
into.
In
many
cases,
substance
use
and
things
that
got
them
arrested
and
put
on
to
probation
and
the
people
that
we
interviewed
had
really
acute.
Both
health
and
social
service
needs.
We
found
really
high
rates
of
housing,
instability,
really
high
rates
of
uninsurance,
really
high
rates
of
food
insecurity
in
the
policing
project.
N
So,
in
terms
of
implications
for
the
rescue
plan
funding,
you
know
similar
to
what
professor
masten
was
saying
a
moment
ago.
I
think
it's
really
important
to
connect
this
funding
to
our
broader
conversations
about
creating
an
equitable
minneapolis
and
a
minneapolis,
that's
safe
for
everyone,
and
so
I
think
focusing
some
of
these
funding
sources
on
the
people
and
communities
that
are
at
the
highest
risk
of
victimization
can
make
everyone
safer.
N
You
know,
there's
been
massive
dislocations
because
of
the
pandemic
in
young
people
and
young
younger
adults
daily
lives,
and
I
think
thinking
about
how
to
build
back
stronger.
Some
of
that
protective
infrastructure
again
can
both
help
those
young
people
be
supported,
but
also
make
the
community
at
large,
safer
and
stronger
together.
N
I
Thank
you,
professor
phelps,
I'm
quite
impressed
by
my
colleagues
ability
to
stay
at
the
five
minute.
I
I
must
confess
I
wasn't
too
optimistic.
Beginning
I've
never
ever
actually
seen
this
happen
before,
but
that's
great
thank
you
so
much.
I
would
like
to
introduce
now
andre
dukes
of
the
north
side,
achievement
zone,
mr
dukes
oversees
the
early
childhood
strategy
of
the
of
naz
and
and
so
welcome.
H
Thank
you,
everyone
and
good
morning
to
the
council
members
I
apologize
for
not
being
on
video.
I
had
challenges
accessing
my
technology
this
morning,
but
certainly
I'm
really
happy
to
be
here
and
thank
you
for
having
me
I'm
here
to
really
just
share.
Some
survey
results
that
we
conducted
with
families
and
naz,
and
so
nasa
conducted
three
rounds
of
surveys
with
randomly
selected
families.
H
The
results
that
I'm
sharing
with
you
today
are
from
our
second
round,
which
was
taken
in
august
of
2020
and
there's
three
categories,
and
I
will
share
the
report
with
you.
I
apologize
for
not
having
slides
today
as
well,
but
the
three
categories
include
basic
need:
resources,
safety
and
emotional
health
and
then
distance
learning.
So
these
are
the
categories
in
which
we
ask
respondents
to
to
give
input
to,
and
so
eight
months
into,
the
coronavirus
pandemic.
H
H
The
three
areas
of
need
that
have
increased
the
most
between
october
and
august
was
families
needed
of
housing
at
38
percent
transportation
at
31
percent
employment
and
then
household
supplies.
73
percent
of
families
have
experienced
at
least
one
challenge.
Getting
food
from
a
distribution
site,
perceptions
of
safety
and
emotional
well-being
are
closely
related
on
the
north
side,
and
this
is,
you
know,
related
to
the
george
floyd's
murder
and
the
increase
in
violence
on
the
north
side.
H
But
47
percent
of
families
reported
that
they
feel
less
safe
in
their
neighborhoods
since
the
murder
of
george
floyd
and
subsequent
community
unrest,
families
most
commonly
report
feeling
less
safe
because
of
increased
violence
and
crime
in
their
community
higher
proportions
of
families
who
needed
supports
or
resources
around
mental
health
reported
feeling
less
less
safe.
Now,
65
of
those
who
needed
support
for
scholars
in
their
household
and
62
of
adults
in
those
households
reported
feeling
less
safe.
H
40
percent
of
families
report
that
their
family's
emotional
well-being
had
gotten
worse
since
the
murder
of
george
floyd,
our
families
most
commonly
reported
feeling
increased
anxiety,
depression
and
stress
among
families
who
reported
feeling
less
safe
in
their
neighborhoods.
60
percent
reported
that
their
emotional
well-being
had
also
gotten
worse
since
the
murder
of
george
floyd,
the
majority
of
families,
which
is
about
87,
participated
in
distance
learning,
which
continues
to
be
a
challenge.
Nearly
a
quarter
family
say
their
scholars
were
attending
school
less
often
than
before.
Distance
learning
began
overall.
H
Families
face
the
safe.
The
same
challenges.
Excuse
me
with
distance
or
hybrid
learning,
as
they
did
last
spring
in
october
of
2020
families
reported
of
difficulty,
navigating
personal
responsibilities
and
helping
their
scholar
at
the
same
time,
not
having
enough
opportunity
for
one-on-one
learning
for
their
scholars.
H
36
reported
that
and
then
issues
using
the
online
platforms
available
through
distance
learning,
29
of
families
reported
having
challenges
with
that
and
then
having
little
or
no
access
to
fast
and
reliable
internet
24
of
families
reported
that
nearly
a
quarter
family
said
that
their
scholars
were
attending
school
less
often
than
when
school
was
in
person
and
full
time.
Pre-Pandemic
four
percent
were
unsure
because
they
could
not
regularly
monitor
their
school
scholars
attendance.
H
Most
families
reported
that
their
scholars
were
attending
school,
just
as
often
at
60
percent
or
more
often,
compared
to
when
school
was
in
person
full
time
and
then
high
proportions
of
families
whose
scholars
attended
school,
less
often
reported
difficulty
navigating
personal
responsibilities,
not
having
enough
opportunities
for
one-on-one
learning
for
scholars
and
not
having
scholars.
Special
learning
needs,
and
so
finally,
families
are
coping
in
a
variety
of
ways.
H
Despite
many
challenges,
they
face
families
report
that
they
are
doing
the
best
they
can
taking
life
day
by
day
and
learning
or
leaning,
I'm
sorry
on
family
and
friends
for
support,
including
spending
time
together
and
sharing
resources
like
housing
and
money.
Many
families
are
weathering
the
challenges
by
managing
their
finances,
engaging
in
health
and
wellness
activities,
seeking
support
from
community
and
government
organizations
and
participating
in
religious
and
spiritual
support.
So
this
is
just
really
a
snapshot
of
the
findings.
H
I
Good,
thank
you,
mr
deuce,
appreciate
that
I
will
go
next.
My
name
is
ed
getz.
I
am
a
professor
of
urban
regional
planning
at
the
humphrey
school
and
director
of
cura,
and
my
research
is
in
the
area
of
affordable
housing,
and
I
want
to
focus
on
a
study
that
we
completed
a
couple
of
years
ago
that
highlight
two
issues
that
are
not
widely.
I
think
understood
when
it
comes
to
to
housing
needs.
I
10
had
experienced
episodes
of
doubling
up.
They
on
average
had
spent
more
than
a
quarter
of
their
time
as
adults
in
a
in
a
doubled,
up
housing
situation
and
those
those
situations
accounted
for
close
to
one
third
of
all,
of
their
housing
situations
over
there
over
their
adult
period
and-
and
so
it's
a
very
significant,
although
sometimes
under
appreciated
phenomenon
in
the
housing
market
and
while
in
some
respects
it,
it
reflects
a
coping
mechanism
which
we
find
to
be
good
right.
The
reliance
on
social
capital
on
friends
and
family.
I
Our
research
showed
that
that
the
reliance
on
this
kind
of
assistance
is
very
short-term
and
has
the
potential
and
in
many
cases
the
reality
of
undermining
those
relationships.
Right
moving
in
with
a
new
family,
of
course,
is
very
difficult
on
both
the
family
that
moves
in,
but
also
on
the
host
family.
I
We
found
in
our
research
that
women
with
children
expose
themselves
to
abusive
situations
in
order
to,
in
order
to
achieve
a
housing
situation
that
they
had.
No,
they
had
no
choice
in,
but
mostly
we
found
that
people
who
use
this
strategy
ended
up,
exhausting
their
social
capital
over
time.
That
is
this.
I
I
I
This
research
was
was
about
the
housing
searches
that
families
with
extremely
modest
resources,
conduct
oftentimes
their
their
housing
search
is
very
quick
and
haphazard
because
they
are
in
an
emergent
situation.
They
do
not
very
frequently
use
a
kind
of
formal
search
process
that
is,
they
don't
check
listings
in
the
newspaper
or
online.
They
don't
apply
in
the
way
that
we
think
characterizes
most
of
the
market.
I
They
don't
compare
us
in
shop
because
essentially,
their
income
histories,
and
sometimes
their
credit
histories,
make
them
extremely
uncompetitive
in
the
housing
market,
and
such
a
formal
search
would
be
kind
of
pointless
and
these
families
circulate
into
different
housing
situations
by
word
of
mouth
and
through
the
same
set
of
landlords
that
don't
require
the
kind
of
formal
application
process
that
that
the
majority
of
the
market
requests
so
subsidized
housing.
We
found
solved
most
of
these
instability
problems,
both
the
building.
I
B
B
B
I
was
wondering
if
in
you,
your
survey,
I
think
it's
very
understandable
and
and
lands
on
me
well,
why
families
are
feeling
unsafe
in
this
moment,
but
in
your
in
your
survey,
did
families
indicate
what
kinds
of
responses
and
what
kinds
of
reactions
would
make
them
feel
more
safe?
Did
they
give
any
sort
of
indication
or
answers
to
that.
H
Yes,
sir
council
member
ellison,
thank
you.
I
think
you
know
what
we're
hearing
is
that
you
know
residents
would
feel
more
safe
if
they
had
a
larger
police
presence
and
just
felt
you
know
that
the
city
you
know
was
really
concerned
about
their
safety
with
the
uptick
in
violence.
You
know
many
families
are
expressing,
you
know
a
deep
sense
of
fear
and
are
really
looking
for.
You
know
the
city
to
step
up
and,
to
put
you
know,
measures
in
place
to
address.
H
You
know
much
of
the
shooting,
the
gang
violence
and
those
kinds
of
things.
I
think
that
you
know
there
are
community
members
that
know
you
know
where
the
violence
is
coming
from,
but
don't
feel
like
they
can
even
trust
our
systems
to
you
know,
address
the
issues
or
you
know
just
to
support
them,
and
so
I
think
you
know
the
more
that
the
city
can
really
show
the
community
that
you
know
it
is
here
to
support
them
and
address
their
safety.
G
We
see
the
families
who
are
not
where
the
system
isn't
working
to
get
kids
and
families
the
supports
they
need,
and
it's
also
a
place
where
we've
often
relied
on
other
entities
to
really
be
the
front
line,
service
providers
or
support
where
the
city
is
sometimes
stepping
in
newly
into
those
gaps.
So
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
that
is
such
a
critical
piece
of
this
work,
because
I
think
we
have
to
just
really
stretch
ourselves
as
state
government
county
governments,
schools,
the
city.
G
I
think
we
have
stronger
partnerships
in
place
now
than
we
have
ever
before
between
government
organizations
and
this
piece
of
supporting
youth
feels
like
the
most
critical
thing,
that
we
can
either
work
hard
together
to
get
right
or
absent.
Really
strong
coordination
and
really,
you
know,
focused
effort
in
this
space
that
we
could,
I
think,
unfortunately,
fail
our
young
people
and
so
just
wanted
to
invite.
G
You
know
further
engagement
from
each
of
you
who
talk
so
much
about
youth
in
this
issue,
and
you
know
make
our
commitment
known
that
you
know
working
with
with
the
schools
and
the
county
and
the
state
I
think
on.
This
is
such
a
high
priority
and
that
the
city
ourselves
need
to
step
up
and
invest
strategically
in
our
young
people.
P
I
I
just
wanted
to
underscore
what
was
said,
because
I
think
that
it's
extremely
important
from
everything
we
know
whether
you're
talking
about
responding
to
disaster
or
responding
to
a
local
crisis
coordinating
the
response
is
extremely
important
and
I
I
absolutely
agree
that
we
could
have
and
do
have
in
minneapolis
many
wonderful
pieces,
but
coordinating
it
with
all
the
other
agencies
that
have
some
stake
in
youth
and
family
programs
is
challenging.
I
do
think
that
we
have
a
strong
group
of
partnerships
established
now
in
minneapolis
and
that
there's
been
a
in
the
years.
P
I've
observed
the
work
that's
being
done
and
by
policy
makers
and
by
agencies.
There's
there's
better
coordination,
but
there's
still
a
lot
of
falling
through
the
cracks,
because
there
are
different
agencies
and
different
stakeholders
that
have
some
contribution
to
make.
But
it's
not
always
clear
whose
responsibility
it
is,
for
example,
to
help
with
youth
homelessness
or
other
issues
like
that.
P
So
I
think
that
you
know
strengthening
existing
partnerships
is
a
really
important
way
to
go
and
then
bringing
the
state
and
local
folks
together
to
coordinate,
and
I
think
that
minneapolis,
the
city
and
the
county
and
the
state
have
really
made
strides
over
time
in
this
direction
and
I'm
I'm
a
board
member
of
the
north
side
achievement
zone
and
I
think
their
partnering
has
been
remarkable.
But
clearly
they
you
know.
The
people
of
north
minneapolis
need
more
support.
B
K
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
I
also
just
really
want
to
emphasize
what
we're
looking
at
right
now,
which
you
know
we
don't
really
talk
enough
about
adverse
childhood
experiences
or
aces
and
the
consequences
long-term,
short-term
and
long-term
consequences
of
adverse
childhood
experiences
on
young
people
and
how
that
impacts,
the
the
detriment
how
it
is
detrimental
to
the
rest
of
their
lives
and
within
the
current
context
in
which
we
are
living.
Essentially,
all
children
are
struggling
with
adverse
childhood
experiences.
K
Some
of
the
more
historically
common
ones
are
witnessing
violence
having
a
parent
incarcerated
or
struggling
with
mental
health
having
somebody
near
them
die
because
of
violence,
whether
that's
interpersonal
or
self-directed,
and
now
we
have
had
a
just
generally
speaking,
very
traumatic
year
in
which
children
were
not
able
to
go
to
school.
They
were
not
able
to
be
around
other
adults.
K
K
So
this
is
an
opportunity
for
us
to
invest
in
young
people
and
their
families
in
ways
that
can
both
in
the
short
term
stabilize
them
so
that
they
can
learn.
They
can
thrive
as
well
as
long
term.
So
I
just
really
wanted
to
to
to
name
aces
and
and
and
the
consequences
of
those
not
only
on
individuals
and
families,
but
for
our
city
at
large
as
well.
Thank
you.
N
If
I
could
add
one
comment
on
all
of
that,
too,
I
think
it's
wonderful
to
to
to
focus
on
young
people
and
children.
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
good
reasons
to
think
about
doing
that
from
you
know,
upstream
intervention,
as
the
council
member
said,
but
I
and
I
say
this
not
as
a
child
psychologist
but
as
a
sociologist,
so
take
it
with
a
grain
of
salt,
but
I
I
do
think
when
we
think
about
young
people.
We
should
be
thinking
about
younger
adults
too,
and
I
think
there's
a
whole
generation
of
people.
N
You
know
once
you
pass
this
magical
threshold
of
18
right.
A
lot
of
the
same
dynamics
and
same
challenges
are
there
and
we
have
this
whole
generation
of
young
people
that
came
into
that
transition
to
adulthood
in
these
incredibly
trying
circumstances,
and
so
the
more
you
know
when
we're
thinking
about
programs
for
teens
the
more
we
can
think
about
expanding
that
age.
Category
up
you
know
into
the
mid-20s
thinking
about
this.
N
Emerging
adulthood
period
is
also
a
critical
moment,
particularly
when
we
think
about
contact
with
the
criminal
legal
system,
and
you
know
folks,
in
their
young
20s,
are
very
much
still.
I
think,
a
very
at
risk
and
an
important
to
target
population
who
needs
interventions
and
who
is
still
kind
of
coming
into.
C
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
My
question
is
about
homelessness
and
I'll.
I'll
first
share
a
comment
and
then
move
to
the
question.
Oh,
I
wanted
to
add
to
the
conversation
this
sort
of
I
don't
know
you
know
ongoing
issue
with
commercial
sexual
exploitation
and
in
in
the
ninth
ward,
specifically
on
lake
street.
C
Instead
of
working
to
end
it
or
eradicate
it
and
the
the
specific
ways
that
this
presents
on
lake
street,
I
I
don't
mean
to
speak
for
other
areas
of
the
city,
because
I'm
not
familiar
with
this
issue
in
those
areas,
I'm
very
familiar
with
it
in
the
ninth
ward,
because
we've
been
trying
to
address
it
for
the
past
eight
years.
It's
that
you
know
the
the
women
who
are
exploited
are
very
vulnerable
in
very
vulnerable
situations,
and
so
a
lot
of
them
are.
C
You
know,
facing
deep
challenges
with
chemical
dependency
issues.
Our
homeless
themselves
have
been
trafficked
since
they
were
small
girls,
and
so
you
know
the
compounded
trauma
of
of
that.
Is
it
really
positions,
people
in
what
I've
heard?
Others
call
like
a
vulnerable
adult
population,
and,
and
so
there's
been
lots
of
talks
about
getting
the
state
to
change
their
laws
around
how
they
recognize
and
address
commercial
sexual
exploitation
to
identify.
C
You
know
folks,
who
are
in
in
that
specific
category
of
danger
and
and
an
over
exposure
to
the
exploitation
of
their
bodies
and
their
labor
and
and
their
personal
sense
of
safety
as
as
specific
folks
that
we
need
to
help
in
in
very
different
ways.
So
I
just
wanted
to
sort
of
put
that
on
the
table
that
that
the
issue
of
commercial
sexual
exploitation,
you
know
human
trafficking
as
connected
to
to
the
issue
of
homelessness,
is
something
that
you
know.
C
I
won't
be
here,
but
I
hope
that
the
other,
the
council
members
who
do
come
back
next
year
and
are
elected,
can
really
take
that
bull
by
the
horns
and
and
deliver
better
results
than
I
have
been
able
to
deliver
or
or
the
strategies
that
I've
worked
on
now.
Shifting
to
my
question
on
homelessness,
I
I
have
a
question
about
the
interface
of
a
sort
of
homelessness
outreach
support
services
which
the
city
has
done.
C
Plenty
of,
I
think
we've
invested
more
than
two
million
dollars
into
that
bucket
of
work
over
the
last
two
years,
especially
as
we're
responding
to
an
unprecedented
number
of
encampments.
You
know
responses
to
the
pandemic
and
people
being
pushed
out
into
the
streets
because
of
lack
of
employment
and
and
other
housing
situations.
C
C
He
mentioned
to
me
that
he
has
to
go
to
the
encampments
personally
and
spend
his
entire
day
there
sort
of
supervising
some
of
these
individuals
who
really
need
to
be
told
what
to
do
when
to
do
it,
how
to
do
it
because
of
their
state
of
mind,
and
so
I
was
curious
from
the
experts
on
the
panel.
Do
you
have
recommendations
about
that
is.
Is
that
real
is
that
is
that
presentation
of
the
issue
accurate?
C
Are
there
existing
solutions
to
folks
who
are
experiencing
homelessness
and
severe
mental
health
issues
to
the
point
where
they
do
need
a
support,
a
staff
member
with
them
at
all
hours
of
the
day?
You
know
how?
How
does
this
kind
of
issue,
I
guess,
show
up
in
your
research
and
experience
and
analysis.
B
I'm
not
sure
if
any
of
the
experts
on
the
panel
have
expertise
specifically
in
that
area,
but
that
has
we
could.
Certainly.
I
think
there
are
folks
in
the
city
who
have
a
lot
of
experience
in
that
area,
but
I
I
don't
want
to
speak
for
the
panel
I'll
see
if
the
panelists
did
have
a
response,
but
I
know
that's.
B
It's
not
looking
like
yeah,
so
I
I
do
think
that
we
should
absolutely
have
a
discussion
about
a
more
in-depth
depth.
Discussion
about
that
dynamic
council
mercano,
but
I
think
we'll
probably
have
to
go
to
the
folks
who
are
on
the
ground
doing
doing
the
doing
the
on
the
ground
intervention
to
get
some
some
good
responses
there
and
that's
something
that
I'm
I'm
more
than
happy
to
a
presentation.
I'm
more
than
happy
to
work
with
you
on
to
bring
to
cal
councilmember
goodwin.
M
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
and
thanks
to
all
of
the
presenters
I'm
interested
in
if
they
have
an
opinion
on
the
following
comment.
It
seems
to
me
that
one
of
the
things
that's
kind
of
at
the
center
of
housing
and
homelessness,
child
care
and
public
safety
is
jobs
and
economic
development,
and
that's
partially.
What
this
money
I
would
understand
is
for
we
have
a
situation
where
people
can't
get
back
to
work
because
their
kids
don't
can't
go
to
school
or
there
isn't
appropriate
child
care.
M
We
have
a
situation
where
people
can't
afford
the
housing
that
we
have.
We
have
a
situation
where
public
safety
makes
it
difficult
for
people
to
live
in
certain
places
in
our
community.
I'm
wondering
what
your
thoughts
are
about:
a
massive
investment
into
bypoc
business
development
as
a
way
to
help
raise
wages
and
get
people
back
to
work
so
that
some
of
these
other
issues
can
be
more
adequately
addressed.
M
Ultimately,
as
one-time
money,
we
aren't
going
to
be
able
to
use
this
for
wage
supports,
but
I
would
think
that
we
would
want
to
much
more
robustly
put
some
of
this
money
into
lake
street
and
some
of
the
areas
that
have
seen
civil
unrest
as
well
as
areas
of
concentrated
poverty
and
places
where
businesses
have
not
been
able
to
be
developed.
Because
there
isn't
generational
wealth,
and
we
have
many
programs
like
that.
But
in
terms
of
impact
we
don't
have
the
kind
of
impact
without
a
massive
infusion
of
money.
M
So
I'm
wondering
what
the
panel's
thoughts
are
about:
focusing
a
good
chunk
of
this
money
on
economic
development
opportunities
that
help
raise
people's
wages
and
give
them
hope
so
that
they
don't
have
to
result
to
some
of
the
problems
that
have
happened
downstream
and
I'll,
be
quiet
and
see.
If
anyone
has
any
comments
on
that.
N
I'm
happy
to
chime
in
on
that.
I
think
you
know
that's
absolutely
a
piece
of
the
of
the
puzzle.
We
know
that
you
know
high
quality
jobs,
meaningful
jobs,
jobs
that
pay
a
living
wage
can
really
do
a
lot
to
lift
individuals
and
families
out
of
poverty
and
contribute
to
well-being.
We
also
know
that,
like
one
of
the
ways
that
you
empower
communities,
is
you
make
those
communities
engines
of
wealth
right
and
you
include
them.
In
the
you
know,
political
operations
and
and
public
operations
and
economic
operations
of
the
city
through
wealth
building.
N
So
I
think
that's
part
of
the
story,
but
I
think
it's
important
to
note
that
there
are
going
to
be
people
who
get
left
behind
when
you
focus
on
the
the
economic
side,
and
I
think
we
need
to
really
make
sure
that
that
money
is
going
into
actually
creating
meaningful
jobs,
actually
hiring
the
folks
who
are
who
are
struggling
and
who
were
attempting
to
help
and
that
that
money
is
spent
strong,
smartly
and
they're
going
to
be
folks.
You
know
who
aren't
able
to
work.
N
One
of
the
things
that
was
surprising
to
me
is
how
much
of
the
population
on
probation
supervision
is
disabled,
right
and
and
relies
on
disability,
income
and
other
kinds
of
supportive
services.
So
I
don't
think
you
know
we
can
assume
that
sort
of
economic
development
will
sort
of
solve
all
of
these
problems
through
sort
of
downstream
consequences.
P
I'd
like
to
add,
if
I
could,
I
think
it's
a
very
important
strategy
and
it
I
think
it's
a
a
great
example
of
a
need
to
combine
strategies
because
part
of
the
problem
you
could
have
wonderful.
Businesses
with
meaningful
jobs
and
families
with
young
children
would
still
be
struggling
to.
You
know,
get
the
kind
of
child
care
and
programming
for
their
children.
That
makes
it
possible
for
them
to
accept
those
jobs
much
as
they'd
like
to,
and
we
have
a
critical
shortage
right
now
of
child
care
workers
and
child
care
providers.
B
Yeah
I
almost
wish
dr
bernie
lewis
was
on
the
call,
because
I
know
that
she
has
been
hyper
focused
on
on
not
only
housing
stability,
but
also
wealth
creation.
You
know
for,
for
you
know,
especially
for
black
families
on
the
north
side,
it'd
be
great
to
have
that
perspective,
but
I
think
you
all
put
it
really
well
council,
member
council.
Vice
president
jenkins,.
F
Thank
you,
chair,
ellison,
and,
and
thank
you
to
all
of
the
presenters
from
the
university
and
from
naz
very,
very
interesting
thoughts
and
comments
and
recommendations.
I'm
curious,
particularly
to
dr
or
professor
phelps
point
about
young
people
that
you
know
just
hit
that
magical
number
of
18
and
still
being
challenged.
Has
anybody,
and-
and
I
guess
I
wish
dr
lewis
was
on
the
call
too,
but
I'm
curious.
F
Has
anyone
looked
at
how
lgbt
communities,
particularly
trans
and
gender
non-conforming
communities
have
been
impacted
by
the
the
pandemic?
We
certainly
there's
lots
of
research
pre-pandemic
that
these
communities
were
struggling,
but
how?
How
do
we
focus
attention
to
these
communities?
They?
They
really
suffer
from
many
of
the
the
challenges
that
have
been
identified,
but
need
a
specific
focus.
I
think,
to
be
able
to
address
some
of
those
issues.
Has
any
one's
research
or
anything
led
to
those
kinds
of
conclusions
or
any
thoughts.
N
That's
a
great
question,
but
I
don't
know
the
answer.
You
know,
as
you
indicated,
there's
lots
of
research
on
the
sort
of
pre-pandemic
context
right.
We
know
that
lgbt
young
people
face
extremely
high
rates
of
homelessness
right
in
part
because
of
discrimination
in
their
families
and
being
pushed
out
of
their
families
and
lack
of
parental
source
support
as
being
a
huge
risk
factor
for
self-harm.
N
But
I
don't
know
that
folks
have
looked
at
that.
I'm
just
not
enough
of
an
expert
in
that
area
to
know
if
that's
been
updated
in
the
context
of
the
pandemic.
I
do
know
that
suicide
rates
have
not
increased
as
much
as
people
expected,
but
that
overdose
rates
have
have
increased,
and
I
would
expect
that
communities
that
were
vulnerable
before
the
pandemic
were
especially
hit
hard
by
that,
including
lgbtq
young
folks.
But
I
don't.
I
don't,
have
specific
citations
on
hand,
unfortunately,
but
I
think
it's
an
important
question.
F
Having
having
worked
on
lake
street
for
30
years
trying
to
address
some
of
those
issues.
I
know
for
a
fact
that
many
of
the
sex
workers
that
that
operate
along
lake
street
and
other
parts
of
the
city
are
trans
and
gender
non-conforming
as
well,
and
so
I
really
think
that
we
need
to
start
including
those
communities
in
our
analysis,
in
our
recommendations,
and
so
I'm
I'm
saying
this
to
my
colleagues
on
the
council,
but
also
to
the
researchers
at
the
university
of
minnesota.
Please
include
these
communities
in
your
analyses.
F
B
I,
I
think,
that's
a
really
well
made
point
council
vice
president
and
I'm
gonna
take
that
to
heart
and
make
sure
that
we're
we're
making
sure
that
that
that
voice
is
represented
here,
especially
as
I'm
hearing
so
much
about
youth
on
this
call
that
that
I'm
I'm
I'm
sort
of
my
have
my
wheels
turning
about
potentially
having
us
inviting
a
panel
of
youth
to
give
us
their
direct
perspective
on
the
ground.
You
know
it
looks
like
that.
P
Brittany
could
probably
do
a
better
job
of
commenting,
but
I
have
been
hearing
a
great
deal
from
people
at
the
state
and
local
level
really
concerned
about
that
cliff
and
trying
to
figure
out
a
strategy
to
have
a
slower
off
ramp
in
effect
to
shore.
This
up,
I
think
it's
one
of
the
most
important
questions
that
needs
to
be
answered
about
eviction
and
the
pandemic
is
whether
and
how
the
moratorium
is
connected
to
the
lower
rates
of
shelter
entry,
for
example,
at
people
serving
people
and
in
the
minneapolis
public
schools.
P
The
the
head
of
head
liaison
charlotte
kinsley,
just
told
me
yesterday
that
they
have
lower
rates
of
students,
they're,
identifying
and
they're,
not
sure
the
degree
to
which
eviction
the
eviction
moratorium
has
helped
the
problem
or
that
the
kids
have
disappeared.
We
don't
really
know
there
hasn't
been
a
you
know.
We
haven't
been
able
to
monitor
kids
nearly
as
well
during
the
past
year,
so
it's
really
important
point
you're
making
in
question.
P
We
have
to
keep
a
close
eye
on
that,
because
it
is
conceivable
that
the
pandemic
has
revealed
a
strategy
that
wasn't
intended
specifically
to
reduce
homelessness
in
our
schools
and
so
forth,
but
but
it
had
that
effect.
So
you
know,
I
think,
understanding
what's
happened
over
the
past
year
with
eviction
and
how
it's
linked
to
children
and
youth
and
the
welfare
of
families
is
going
to
be
very
important,
but
everybody
I've
talked
to
thinks
that
is
worried
about
that
cliff.
So
it's
important
to
pay
attention
to.
I
B
I
I
A
B
G
The
last
I
have
heard
is
that
that
is
anticipated
to
happen
in
may
at
a
city
council
meeting
or
no
I'm
sorry
in
june.
I
believe-
and
maybe
I
don't
know
if
finance
staffer
on
this
call
and
can
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong
and
then
I
am
working
together
with
casey
and
we'll
be
talking.
I've
talked
with
a
number
of
the
chairs,
I'm
just
continuing
those
conversations.
G
This
first
round
of
funding,
my
understanding
from
finance
in
the
mayor's
office
will
be
for
the
first
trancha
funding.
The
total
amount
will
be
271
million.
The
first
amount
will
be
something
more
like
50
to
70
million,
with
a
particular
focus
on
community
support.
That
would
be
going
kind
of
out
the
door
and
then
we
would
be
doing
our
typical
city
budget
process
and
then
my
understanding
is
that
the
mayor
will
be
proposing
a
second
larger
round
of
arp
funding
for
council
consideration
after
the
city's
2022
budget
is
proposed
in
august.
G
At
this
point,
if
the
mayor
is
proposing
it
in
june,
so
I
will
be
following
up
and
or
casey
carl,
our
city
clerk,
with
some
more
detailed
scheduling
options
very
shortly,
and
I
hope
that
was
helpful.
If
there's
any
questions
again,
it's
the
finance
staff
right
now
that
are
working
closely
with
the
mayor's
office
on
that
first
part
of
this,
which
is
to
develop
the
proposal
itself
for
council
consideration
thanks.
Mr
chair.
B
Thank
you
so
much
council
president.
I
think
that
is
incredibly
helpful.
Update,
since
we
haven't,
we
haven't
quite
known
what
our
timeline
is
going
to
be
until
until
now
to
our
panelists.
I
want
to
thank
you
all
and-
and
I
look
forward
to
for
those
of
you
who
weren't
able
to
put
your
links
to
your
research
and
citations
in
the
chat.
B
Please
email
me
or
you
know,
or
my
office
and
I'd,
be
happy
to
get
those
resources
to
the
rest
of
my
rest
of
my
colleagues
and
for
those
who
have
I've
opened
up
all
the
links
and
I'm
excited
to
to
do
some
some
ingredients.
So
congratulations
and
again,
thank
you
with
that
and
seeing
no
further
discussion
I'll
direct
the
clerk
to
file
that
presentation.

We

for

and
now
the
work
is
in

hands,

is
worth

This
work
has
been
long

This
year,
the
three
presenters
have
proposed

charter
amendment
that
will
empower
voters
this
november
to
create
a
new

launched
through

We
have

with

experts
for

how
to

data

Amendment
language.
A
Please
thing:
thank
you
just
so
I'm
clear
this
presentation
relates
to
the
transforming
public
safety
charter,
amendment
authored
by
council
member
fletcher
cunningham
and
myself.
There
is
a
separate
community-led
petition
to
amend
the
charter
in
a
similar
way.
Community
groups
submitted
more
than
20
000
signatures
in
support
of
the
amendment
late
last
month.
Those
signatures
are
currently
being
vetted
and
counted
right
now,
while
the
council
amendment
and
the
community-led
amendment
are
separate,
most
of
this
presentation
applies
to
both
of
them
as
they
both
seek
to
create
a
new
department
of
public
safety.
A
Now
we'll
dig
into
some
of
the
specific
changes
we're
proposing
to
the
charter
with
our
amendment,
the
proposed
charter
amendment
ensures
that
we're
treating
all
public
safety
the
same
way.
We
treat
all
other
city
departments
with
joint
oversight
between
the
mayor
and
city
council.
The
proposal
would
do
this
by
creating
a
new
department
of
public
safety
with
law
enforcement
services
division
in
place
of
the
existing
police
department.
A
A
This
new
department
would
include
a
wide
range
of
complementary
services
related
to
public
safety
to
related
to
providing
public
safety
for
everyone
in
minneapolis.
This
includes
a
law
enforcement
services
division
to
be
led
by
a
chief
that
would
be
appointed
by
the
commissioner.
The
chief
would
report
directly
to
the
commissioner.
A
The
arbitrary
minimum
number
of
officers
in
the
charter
now
was
an
add-on
was
added
decades
ago
after
a
campaign
by
the
police
federation.
Moving
this
minimum
number
of
officers
allows
us
the
same
freedom
that
other
cities
that
other
cities
have
in
deciding
how
to
best
provide
public
safety
to
everyone
in
minneapolis.
A
Other
cities
are
not
constrained
the
way
that
we
are
now
by
an
arbitrary
minimum
number
of
officers.
I
will
note
that
the
amendment
does
include
a
division
of
law
enforcement
services
within
the
department
of
public
safety,
so
to
be
clear,
police
will
be
part
of
the
new
proposed
department,
even
though
we
will
be
getting
rid
of
the
arbitrary
restrictions
next
slide,
please.
A
It
is
also
worth
noting
that
our
current
charter
includes
a
lot
of
provisions,
some
of
which
have
become
less
necessary
or
even
outdated
over
time.
In
fact,
we've
heard
from
the
fire
chief
that
the
fire
police
provision
that
has
long
been
included
in
our
charter
is
now
obsolete.
Today
we
meet
these
needs
differently.
A
D
Thank
you,
council,
member
straighter,
mr
chair
and
colleagues.
I
first
want
to
start
with
a
very
high
level
comparison
of
our
current
charter
and
the
proposed
charter
amendment.
If
we
go
to
the
next
slide,
you'll
see
under
our
current
charter,
the
mayor
has
still
authority
over
the
police
department
with
a
new
department
of
public
safety.
Both
mayor
and
council
would
have
an
oversight
role
as
we
do
with
all
other
departments.
D
Currently,
the
department
head
is
the
chief
of
police
in
the
new
department.
It
will
be
the
commissioner
of
public
safety.
The
department
head
will
be
nominated
by
the
mayor,
recommended
by
the
executive
committee
and
appointed
by
the
council.
Exactly
as
today,
the
chief
of
the
division
of
law
enforcement
will
no
longer
be
the
department
head
and
will
be
appointed
by
the
department
head.
D
It's
my
assumption
and
we
support
for
a
leadership
role
of
this
importance
that
we'll
all
agree
on
a
role
for
mayor
and
council
in
confirming
the
commissioner's
nomination.
That
process
as
it
is
for
other
leadership
positions
in
the
city
will
be
defined
in
ordinance
under
our
current
charter.
The
mayor
has
complete
control,
both
legislative
and
executive.
Over
mpd,
under
the
new
charter,
the
mayor
and
department
head
will
manage
day-to-day
operations,
the
executive
role,
while
council
has
legislative
policy
making
authority
as
with
all
other
departments.
D
D
Public
safety
functions
are
spread
throughout
the
city
organizational
chart,
but
today
the
charter
only
meaningfully
describes
public
safety
in
relationship
to
the
police
department
under
the
control
of
the
mayor,
the
two
departments
circled
in
blue
on
this
slide.
This
simplistic
version
fails
to
capture
the
public
safety
efforts
across
the
entire
organization
of
our
city.
D
Next
slide,
you'll
see
that
we
have
public
safety
service
being
provided
by
police
city,
attorney's
office,
public
health,
regulatory
services,
public
works,
cped
and
the
coordinator's
office.
In
some
cases,
the
work
is
housed
somewhere.
That
is
reasonably
well
aligned
with
the
rest
of
that
home
department's
mission,
but
in
other
cases
it's
inefficient
and
distracting.
D
Next
slide,
it
wouldn't
be
worth
reorganizing.
Our
city's
structure,
to
make
the
org
chart
pretty.
We
want
to
focus
on
outcomes,
and
there
are
three
key
outcomes
we
believe
we
can
and
must
achieve
with.
This
proposed
change
next
slide.
First
and
absolutely
most
importantly,
we
are
seeking
to
improve
the
results
delivered
by
our
system
of
public
safety.
D
To
do
that,
the
new
department
will
move
beyond
reactive
policing
and
get
to
the
root
causes
of
crime
to
prevent
crime.
Before
it
begins,
we
will
create
alternative
responses
to
emergency
calls
that
produce
better
outcomes,
as
we
are
already
doing
this
year
with
mental
health
response
and
report
only
calls
organizing
this
work
together
makes
it
easier
to
collaborate
and
send
the
best
response
to
each
call
for
help.
The
new
department
will
include
a
law
enforcement
division
that
is
aligned
with
and
collaborates
with,
non-police
divisions
of
public
safety
in
better
alignment
with
minneapolis
values
next
slide.
D
Second,
we
need
to
improve
transparency
and
accountability.
The
decisions
we
make
about
public
safety
are
important
and
they
deserve
to
be
made
in
daylight
in
open
council
processes
where
the
public
can
participate.
People
expect
their
council
members
to
be
able
to
represent
them
in
those
discussions,
and
this
aligns
our
city
with
our
residents
expectations.
D
While
policy
making
authority
changes,
day-to-day
functions
will
be
managed
by
the
department
head
and
overseen
by
the
mayor
in
their
executive
role.
As
with
all
other
departments,
we're
bringing
mpd
up
to
the
same
level
of
transparency
as
all
other
city
departments.
Third,
next
slide.
This
charter
change
will
increase
community
voice
in
our
public
safety
system.
We
have
seen
overwhelming
demand
from
community
to
transform
our
system
of
public
safety,
including
twenty
thousand
petition
signatures
currently
being
validated
by
the
clerk's
office.
D
D
The
actual
department
will
have
to
be
defined
in
ordinance
and
will
work
in
public
to
create
a
clear
outline
of
the
ordinance
that
will
enact
the
charter
language
so
that
voters
can
really
see
what
they're
voting
for
next
slide.
The
ordinance
that
defines
the
department
will
spell
out
the
purpose
of
the
department
and
its
organizational
structure.
D
D
D
We
also
get
to
create
a
home
for
functions
that
are
currently
gaps
in
our
system
that
don't
exist
at
the
city,
but
should
traffic
enforcement
today
is
something
we
basically
don't
do
outside
of
pretext
stops
by
mpd.
Community
has
consistently
expressed
concerns
both
about
traffic
safety
and
about
racially
biased
and
harmful
way.
We
do
traffic
stops
today.
D

As
a
city,
we
can
provide
a
place
in
the
organization
to
give
this
function
better
focus
and
priority
mental
health
crisis
response
teams
are
currently
being
launched
by
the
office
of
performance
and
innovation
in
the
city
coordinator's
office,
in
coordination
with
our
health
department,
79
of
the
office
of
violence
prevention
survey,
respondents
said
someone
other
than
mpd
should
respond
to
mental
health
calls
and
84
of
survey.
Respondents
said
they're
not
comfortable
with
an
mpd
response,
we're
creating
something
better
and
this
department
can
give
that
solution
a
home.
D
Next
slide
so
to
bring
together
existing
functions
and
create
new
functions
to
fill
important
gaps.
Here's
an
example
of
what
a
department
org
chart
could
look
like
it
can
efficiently
and
cleanly
unite
public
safety
functions
in
a
simple
organization,
with
common
leadership
in
a
clear
reporting
structure,
it
creates
a
clear
organizational
role
for
law
enforcement
by
creating
divisions
responsible
for
many
of
the
functions
like
mental
health
response
and
homeless
outreach
that
mpd
should
no
longer
be
leading
next
slide.
K
Thank
you,
councilmember
fletcher,
I'm
going
to
take
us
through
the
engagement
work
related
to
developing
the
ordinance
that
will
operationalize
the
department
next
slide.
Please
intentional
engagement,
rather
than
engagement
for
engagement's
sake,
is
critical
to
building
new
systems
of
public
safety,
we'll
be
working
at
the
collaborate
level
of
engagement
based
on
the
international
association
of
public
participation's
spectrum
of
public
participation
as
how
we
will
proceed
with
engagement
at
this
level
of
engagement.
K
The
public
participation
goal
is
to
partner
with
the
public
in
each
aspect
of
the
decision,
including
the
development
of
alternatives
and
the
identification
of
the
preferred
solution.
The
promise
to
the
public
is.
We
will
work
with
you
to
ensure
that
your
concerns
and
aspirations
are
directly
reflected
in
the
alternatives,
developed
and
provide
feedback
on
how
public
input
influenced
the
decision.
K
With
this
in
mind,
the
purpose
is
to
develop
an
ordinance
outline
for
a
new
department
of
public
safety
in
collaboration
with
residents
of
minneapolis,
rather
than
writing
out
an
entire
ordinance.
At
this
point
in
the
process,
we
will
work
alongside
community
members
to
identify
the
core
components
of
an
ordinance
and
answer
key
questions
about
the
functions
and
structures
of
a
new
department
of
public
safety.
K
Next
slide,
please,
the
outcomes
for
this
engagement
process
include
an
ordinance
outline
describing
a
new
department
of
public
safety
to
reiterate
not
to
write
a
fully
fleshed
out
ordinance
at
this
point
in
the
process.
Instead,
it
is
our
intention
to
clarify
for
the
public
when
they
are
deliberating
on
the
future
of
public
safety
in
our
city.
What
a
department
of
public
safety
would
look
like,
based
on
collaboration
with
our
city's
residents,
it
will
serve
as
the
initial
foundation
on
which
a
future
ordinance
can
be
drafted
if
the
amendment
passes
in
november.
K
Another
outcome
is
a
collaborative
process
for
developing
the
ordnance
outline.
It
is
our
intention,
through
this
collaborative
process,
for
residents
to
feel
their
voices
heard
in
the
process
and
reflected
in
the
ordinance
given.
We
have
very
strong,
often
divergent
perspectives
on
this
topic.
We
know
it
isn't
realistic
for
everyone
to
feel
satisfied
with
the
outline.
K
Next
slide,
please,
as
you
can
see
here
on
this
slide,
we
have
a
timeline
of
this
engagement
process.
For
this
month
we
have
been
preparing
engagement
and
research
materials
for
june
1st,
through
july
15th.
We
will
have
a
citywide
survey
live
in
june
and
july.
We
will
have
public
meetings
around
the
city
in
august.
We
will
take
all
of
that
data
from
the
community
engagement
process
and
analyze
that
in
september,
we
will
take
that
information
and
draft
an
ordinance
outline
and
then,
in
october,
through
the
end
of
the
year.
K
We
will
have
the
draft
ordinance
outline
posted
for
public
comment
and
then,
of
course,
in
november
there
will
be
voting
on
a
public
safety
charter
amendment
in
the
local
elections.
Next
slide,
please,
for
next
steps.
The
city-wide
survey
will
be
live
on
june
1st
and
remain
open
through
july
15th.
Additionally,
as
we
move
forward
and
schedule
citywide
community
events,
that
information
will
be
posted
on
the
city's
website
for
charter
amendments
and
as
a
reminder,
the
draft
ordinance
outline
will
be
posted
for
public
comment
starting
in
october
next
slide.
B
F
Thank
you,
chair
ellison,
and
thank
you
to
my
colleagues
for
this
detailed
report.
I
am
curious
about
the
city-wide
survey
and
the
proposed.
I
think
you
call
them
public
comment
or
listening
sessions.
Is
the
survey
online
or
how
is
that
working?
Is
that
a
paper
survey
and
subsequently
are
the
proposed
listening
sessions?
F
K
Thank
you,
council
vice
president,
mr
chair,
so
the
survey
will
be
online
right
now
we
have
it.
It's
been
vetted
and
we've
gotten
feedback
from
the
office
of
performance
and
innovation
on
the
questions
as
well
as
we
have
an
intern
from
the
school
of
public
health
at
the
university
of
minnesota
who's
going
to
be
helping
us
with
this
data
analysis,
who
has
been
doing
some
pretty
rigorous
work
around
the
questions,
so
that
will
be
online.
M
A
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
That's
correct!
Thank
you,
council,
member
goodman
for
the
question.
What's
what's
important
is
being
clear
to
voters,
and
so
if
it
is
clear
that
both
amendments
do
primarily
the
same
thing,
they
create
a
new
department
that
would
include
law
enforcement.
I,
like
speaking
for
myself,
but
I
would
be
amenable
to
dropping
our
amendment.
M
A
True,
it's
a
good
question
at
this
point,
nothing's
for
sure
our
the
city
council
amendment
has
not
been
approved,
the
other
other
community-led
amendment
has
not
been
approved.
We
have.
There
has
been
numerous
charter
amendments
before
so.
At
this
point,
it's
very
premature
to
to
stop
either
one
of
those
both
of
we
have
seen
similar
approaches
before
that
have
not
have
not
passed.
B
G
Thanks,
mr
chair,
sorry,
I
think
I
bumped
my
camera
thing.
Yes
well,
I
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you
to
our
colleagues
for
the
presentation.
I
can
think
of
only
a
handful
of
times
during
my
now
almost
eight
years
in
office,
where
council
members
have
presented
a
proposal
like
this,
I
think
councilmember
palmisano
did
something
similar
with
a
proposal
for
a
biennial
budget.
G
Customer
gordon,
I
think
a
couple
times
maybe,
but
I
guess
I
just
wanted
to
note
that
there's
a
bit
of
an
unusual
dynamic
with
so
much
of
this
work,
you
know.
On
the
one
hand,
this
proposal
is
very
tied
in,
as
the
presentation
said,
to
work
that
is
underway
that
we
all
unanimously
directed
through
a
resolution
last
year,
focused
on
transforming
safety.
That
work
has
been
actually
going
on
for
a
number
of
years,
previous
in
the
coordinator's
office
and
the
health
department
spread
throughout
the
enterprise.
K
It
is
in
hopes
that
if
this
a
an
amendment
were
to
pass
in
november
for
us
to
be
able
to
have
a
larger,
more
supported
engagement
process
to
actually
dig
into
the
details
of
an
ordinance
right
now,
it's
very
high
level
and
in
just
the
ordinance
outline.
So
that
is
right.
Now
it
is
being
led
through
the
council
offices.
However
long
term,
it
would
be
our
intention
to
be
able
to
see
more
capacity
and
support
potentially
from
national.
G
Organizations,
thank
you.
That's
helpful,
and
I
mean
maybe
again
just
stating
the
obvious,
but
perhaps
reiterating
a
theme
here,
which
is
that
there's
a
lot
of
uncertainty
in
what
will
happen
related
to
various
charter
proposals
in
november,
but
this
work
appears
to
be
laying
the
groundwork
in
the
event
that
a
charter
question
did
pass
to
create
a
new
department
of
safety
so
that
that
work
wouldn't
have
to
wait
to
start
until
november.
G
So
that
is
what
I
understand.
I
just
wanted
to
restate
that
kind
of
tension
that
there's
some
uncertainty
here,
but
there
is
also
an
attempt
by
these
three
council
offices
of
the
authors
to
lay
their
groundwork
for
changes
that
would
need
to
happen
in
order
to
accommodate
a
shift
again.
Maybe
much
like
the
biennial
budget
question
that
we
that
we
were
considering
a
couple
of
years
ago.
G
G
Help
funnel
the
engagement
that
we
are
doing
as
individual
council
offices
into
these
different
processes.
I
know
that
there's
a
meeting
in
the
box
format
that
the
staff
who
are
working
on
transforming
safety
have
created
where
neighborhood
organizations
or
council
offices
can
can
enter
information
gathered
from
community
meetings
that
we
may
be
hosting,
certainly
something
that
we
have
taken
advantage
of
in
ward
10
and
intend
to
keep
doing
into
the
future.
G
L
L
What
I
I
consider,
this
public
safety
charter
amendment
to
be
properly
part
of
the
city
work,
we've
all
passed.
It
we've
referred
it
to
the
charter,
commission
and
they're.
Reviewing
it
right
now.
I
think
the
decision
to
not
put
it
on
the
ballot
will
be
the
council's
decision
and
that
will
be
made
later.
I
don't
think
we
even
have
to
make
that
until
august
sometime
and
we
can
see
what
goes
forward.
I
would
also
encourage
ordinance
introductions
if
we
think
we
want
to
begin
work
on
ordinances
to
have
those
prepared
too.
L
Obviously,
transforming
public
safety
is
a
significant
and
critically
important
matter
to
all
of
us,
as
we
have
unanimously
supported
going
forward
with
a
year
of
outreach
and
engagement
on
this.
So
I
don't
want
to
say
this-
isn't
a
city-wide
project
and
effort
until
we
decide
that
as
a
group
not
to
move
forward
on
this,
and
I
look
forward
to
working
with
you
and
the
community
moving
this
forward,
as
that
survey
is
ready
how
we
can
push
that
out
and
help
promote
that
as
well.
F
K
Thank
you,
madam
vice
president.
I
will
say
that
that
they
are
separate
processes,
because
the
fundamental
research
question
is
different.
So,
with
the
office
of
violence,
prevention's
work
related
to
transforming
community
safety.
That
is
a
much
broader
question
around.
How
do
we
transform
public
safety
in
our
city?
What
does
that
look
like
so
on
and
so
forth?
K
This
particular
question
is
very
this
engagement's
very
much
so
narrow
and
focused
on
filling
out
the
ordinance
outline
to
be
able
to
get
some
guidance
directly
from
our
constituents
on
the
ordinance
related
to
the
creating
a
new
department
of
public
safety.
So
it's
a
much
narrower
scope
of
community
engagement.
K
Both
of
the
engagement
processes,
though,
do
also
feed
one
another
and
so
they're
they're.
It
is
not
completely
separate
with
a
with
a
solid
wall
between
the
two.
However,
we
wanted
to
be
intentional
about
creating
a
space
for
this
very
specific
conversation
from
a
legislative
perspective,
so
so
yeah,
that's
that's
how
how
it's
different
and
how
they
interact.
F
J
J
There
was
a
substitute
amendment
offered
by
chair,
barry
clegg,
and
I
know
that
it's
more
in
the
beginning
stages,
but
I'm
curious
would
that
additional
charter.
Commission
amendment
also
be
part
of
this
engagement
process,
because
it
is
pretty
substantively
different
than
these
other
two
that
are
similar
or
would
it
get
its
own
process
for
build
out
thanks.
K
J
K
When
you
say
staff
time,
can
you
explain
what
you
mean,
because,
right
now
the
work
is
is
largely
just
being
led.
The
engagement
work
is
is
being
led
through
council
offices,
so
I'm
not
exactly
sure
what
staff
time
you
are
speaking
of
no,
we
will
not
be
using
our
city
council
staff
for
that
process
and
I
think
council
member
fletcher
also
wants
to
add.
D
E
But
I
want
to
caution
this
group
that
using
city
resources
to
generate
support
for
a
charter
amendment
either
proposed
by
the
city
or
by
the
community,
and
not
providing
an
in
a
comprehensive
comparison.
Just
of
the
facts
and
implications
of
all
the
ballot.
Questions
could
be
viewed
as
a
violation
of
the
prohibition
against
using
city
resources
for
ballot
question
propos,
support.
B
B
G
Oh
no,
thank
you.
You
know
I
well
I
was.
I
was
planning
to
take
a
little
bit
of
a
step
back
and
just
note
that,
as
others
have
now,
there
are
a
number
of
potential
ballot
questions
in
the
fall
which
will
have
varying
ramifications
for
the
operation
of
city
departments
and
staffing
throughout
the
enterprise.
G
We
don't
often
involve
the
community
in
structural
changes
which
are
more
common
than
people
might
think.
You
know
during
my
time
in
office,
we've
we've
restructured
departments
a
number
of
times,
usually
through
the
budget
process.
There's
been
a
recent
restructuring
in
the
community
planning
and
economic
development
department.
There
have
been
several
restructurings
in
regulatory
services.
G
My
first
year
at
office
we
added
staff
capacity
and
public
works
for
a
particular
item.
So
obviously
the
public
safety
questions
are
very.
You
know
very
high
priority
for
our
constituents,
a
huge
interest
for
press
in
the
public,
a
very
important
priority
for
all
of
the
members
of
our
community
and
elected
officials.
G
So
it's
not
to
say
that
it
doesn't
bear
an
additional
level
of
of
engagement
and
scrutiny,
but
it
is
also
in
some
ways
a
common
practice
for
our
government
to
restructure
itself
to
better
deliver
city
services.
So
I
think
it
will
be
helpful
to
hear
from
ms
trammell.
I
certainly
have
heard
council
members
voice,
support
for
or
against
the
various
proposals
that
are
working
their
way
through
the
charter
commission
process
and
the
council
process.
G
So
I
think
miss
trammell's
comments
likely
apply,
of
course,
the
presentation
that
we
just
heard,
but
also
to
the
charter
amendment
that
may
have
been
proposed
by
the
charter
commission.
But
I've
certainly
heard
elected
officials
talk
about
many
times,
and
you
know
that
guidance
I
think,
will
be
helpful
for
all
of
us.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
mr
chair
and
yeah.
I
just
wanted
to
kind
of
comment
on
and
thank,
mr
all,
for
the
background
information.
It
is
something
that
you
know
this
presentation
came
out
of
questions
that
had
come
up
at
committee
and
questions
among
colleagues.
It
was
meant
in
in
that
sense
to
make
sure
that
you
know,
as
many
of
our
colleagues
could
get
educated
on
what
this
possible
amendment
could
mean.
It
is
something
that
will
be
up
to
every
voter
come
this
fall
if
it
gets
all
the
way
through.
A
I
also
did
want
to
want
to
point
out
that
there's
there's
a
false
equivalence
being
made
right
now
there
is
a
proposed
charter.
A
very
draft
proposed
amendment
by
an
unelected
charter,
commission
and
there's
also
what's
going
through
the
process,
is
an
amendment
that
went
through
the
community
was
able
to
get
over
20
000
signatures.
A
J
J
J
Council
member
gordon
just
said
that
this
third
proposal,
meaning
the
one
from
chair
clay,
is
not
a
city
thing,
and
I
I
disagree.
I
think
I
kind
of
agree
more
with
council
member
schroeder
here.
All
of
these
are
city
things.
We
are
one
body
of
the
city,
but
the
charter,
commission
is
another
legitimate
body
of
the
city,
and
so
is
the
citizen
petition
a
legitimate
part
of
of
how
we
move
forward
as
a
city
and
potentially
change
the
city
charter.
So
I
think
all
of
these
are
city
things.
J
B
Thank
you,
councilmember
palmisano.
I
do
want
to
remind
folks
that
I
I
think
that
it
is
important
that
we
have
conversations
about
all
these
proposals,
but
that
item
two
was
specifically
about
the
the
the
council.
The
council
proposal
that's
moving
forward
and
I
think
that
the
intention
and
the
successful
execution
of
that
presentation
was
meant
to
be
informational.
But
I
agree
that
we've
we've
got
to
talk
about
it
all,
but
just
wanted
to
remind
folks
what
item
2
is
about
a
councilmember.
B
B
But
if
there's
no
further
discussion,
I
will
thank
my
colleagues
for
the
presentation
and
I
will
direct
the
clerk
to
file
this
report
right
next.
We
will
receive
reports
from
the
standing
committees
on
matters
to
be
considered
by
the
full
council.
This
friday
we
will
begin
with
business
inspections,
housing

chaired
by
council

goodman.

M
Item

M
Q
Thank
you,
chair
elsin,
and
thank
you,
chair
goodman
as
well.
I
appreciate
item
number
nine,
the
parking
regulation
ordinance.
I
just
wanted
to
make
colleagues
aware
I'm
looking
at
a
one-word
amendment
to
the
ordinance.
So
it's
pretty
lengthy
appreciate
all
the
work
that
council
members,
fletcher
and
gordon
put
into
this
and
the
consideration
on
this
item
on
page
59
at
the
bottom.
Q
There
is
the
requirement
around
any
building
or
use
containing
50
or
more
and
less
than
250
new
or
additional
dwelling
units
or
rooming
units.
I
would
like
to
amend
to
drop
that
to
20
units
rather
than
50
and
the
reason
why
is
that
it
would
expand
the
requirement
for
minor
travel
demand
management
plans
to
smaller
projects
financially.
Q
Based
off
of
my
experience
in
the
ward,
I
think
probably
half
of
our
development
residential
development
projects
in
the
last
year
have
been
under
50
units,
but
20
or
more
units
and
in
those
instances
I
want
to
see
these
benefits
that
are
conveyed
in
this
ordinance
that
are
thoughtfully
in
the
ordinance
extended
as
well
to
those
properties,
and
I
ran
this
idea
by
staff.
They
seem
pretty
indifferent
to
it.
I
think
the
one
thing
that
they
flagged
and
they
said
you
know
this-
is
a
council
decision
or
policy.
Q
The
one
thing
that
they
flagged
is
that
there
is
the
potential
it
could
generate
slightly
more
work
for
staff,
but
because
they
would,
just
by
the
nature
of
having
more
of
these
minor
tdmps
to
review
and
work
with
proposed
property
owners
on.
But,
frankly,
I
think
it's
an
important
consideration
in
these
projects
is
to
try
to
reach
more
units
and
more
projects
so
that
those
residents
as
well
experience
the
benefits
of
this
ordinance.
Q
M
D
I
have
so
thank
you
for
the
heads
up
that
you're
working
on
this
and
I'm
certainly
happy
to
look
at
it
again,
but
I
will.
I
will
just
note
that
we
were
intentional
about
dropping
the
tdmp
requirements
to
the
place
that
we
did
both
in
consideration
of
staff
time
and
also
in
consideration
of
cost
to
developers.
D
There
gets
to
be
a
point
where
it
burdens
projects,
and
it
is
one
of
our
stated
goals
to
try
to
get
buildings
under
50
units
built
and
adding
adding
additional
cost
and
labor
to
those
projects
was
another
consideration.
So
we
we
landed
at
50
in
a
pretty
thoughtful
way.
I
think
I'm
probably
going
to
want
to
defend
that
standard
a
little
bit
and
support
staff
in
defending
that
standard.
But
if,
if
there
are
compelling
arguments
to
the
contrary,
I'm
certainly
willing
to
hear
them.
G
I
think
the
points
councilman
fletcher
made
about
building
size
are
important,
that
it
is
part
of
our
goals
to
really,
I
think,
encourage
the
development
of
this
range
of
building
types
and
sizes
that
have
been
basically
outlawed
in
our
city
for
many
decades.
So
we
weren't
seeing
the
kinds
of
buildings
that
so
many
of
our
constituents
tell
us
they
want.
G
We've
made
huge
strides
in
making
those
more
feasible,
and
it's
not
just
about
the
kind
of
housing
that
we
have,
but
it's
partly,
I
think
about
who
is
able
and
has
the
capacity
to
develop
land
in
our
city.
In
my
time
in
office,
I've
seen
you
know
when
we
create
systems
that
are
very
difficult
to
navigate,
so
that
you
need
to
have
a
team
of
lawyers.
And
now
you
know
a
consultant
to
write
your
tdmp
plan
and
all
of
these
layers,
which
may
be
intended
to
serve
a
an
important
goal.
B
K
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
