A
C
Good

and
at
this
point
I
will
ask
if
any
of
my
colleagues
would
wish
to
remove
any

these
items
for
discussion.
C
Not
seeing
any,
and
so
consequently
I
will
move
for
approval
of
the
consent
agenda.
Is
there
any.
G
D
H
I
C
And
that
carries
in
those
items
are
approved.
Item
number
11.
Our
first
discussion
item
is
a
report
on
the
immigration
policies
and
legislative
changes.
C
We
have
several
honored
guests
on
hand
to
participate
in
this
presentation,
including
the
honorable
congresswoman
ilhan
omar,
and
I
just
want
to
offer
a
note
of
thanks
to
the
congresswoman,
as
the
house
of
representatives
just
passed,
the
america
rescue
act,
and
I
believe
that
is
that
bill
is
now
going
to
the
president
for
a
signature
which
he
has
indicated
that
he
will
sign
gleefully,
and
that
will
mean
much
needed
support
for
residents
for
individuals,
for
businesses,
for
for
people
seeking
health
care
from
to
deal
battle,
the
coronavirus
and
to
sit
direct
aid
to
cities
and
states.
C
So
it's
just
really
an
honor
to
have
the
congresswoman
here
today,
as
well
as
the
esteemed
community
members
who
will
be
presenting,
along
with
ms
michelle
rivero
from
the
office
of
immigrant
and
refugee
affairs,
and
I
invite
ms
rivero
to
come
on
screen
and
introduce
this
item.
E
E
So
today
I
will
address
federal
immigration
development.
Since
joe
biden
became
president
on
january
20th.
I
will
also
highlight
local
immigrant
inclusion
initiatives
at
the
city
and
state
level,
including
those
supported
by
the
office
of
immigrant
refugee
affairs,
and
finally,
I
will
identify
areas
of
focus
for
2021
to
position
the
city
of
minneapolis
as
a
city
that
fully
embraces
the
principles
of
the
united
nations
global
compact
on
migration
and
become
a
truly
world-class
welcoming
city.
E
C
It
seems
as
if
the
congresswoman
is
just
now
coming
back
from
voting
on
the
america
rescue
plan
and
has
not
made
it
back
to
her
computer.
Yet
so
I
think
we
should
proceed
and
and
then
welcome
the
congresswoman
when
she
becomes
available.
E
Sounds
wonderful!
Thank
you.
So
next
slide,
please
so
before
starting
to
talk
about
the
new
policies
and
bills
ushered
in
by
our
new
president
and
congress,
it
is
worth
considering
the
enormity
of
the
immigration
policy
actions
that
our
immigrant
refugee
and
new
american
residents
in
the
city
of
minneapolis
and
their
loved
ones
have
overcome
over
the
last
four
years,
including
over
1
000
policy
actions
during
the
previous
administration.
E
During
this
time,
the
city
has
worked
hard
to
support
our
community
in
the
face
of
this
onslaught
of
decisions,
many
of
them
inimical
to
the
immigration
security
of
our
residents,
focusing
on
the
critical
need
to
support
and
actually
defend
our
immigrant
resident
and
new,
our
immigrant
refugee
and
new
american
residents
during
this
difficult
time.
Next
slide,
please
I'd
just
like
to
quickly
highlight
some
of
the
city
of
minneapolis
solidarity
action
supporting
community.
E
This
is
certainly
not
a
comprehensive
overview,
but
just
kind
of
highlighting
some
of
the
actions,
including
federal
amicus
litigation.
The
city
has
challenged
many
of
the
most
harmful
actions
in
multi-city
multi-jurisdictional
litigation
in
federal
court.
To
date,
we
have
joined
approximately
30
lawsuits,
challenging
trump
administration
policies.
E
And
finally,
I
would
just
note
our
cultural
radio
programs,
the
expansion
of
in-language
radio
programming
beyond
spanish,
to
include
hmong
and
somali
to
ensure
the
community
has
immediate
in
language
access
to
important
information,
including
information
about
immigration,
related
developments
next
slide.
Please.
E
So
in
consideration
of
what
our
communities
have
overcome
in
the
most
recent
past,
the
initial
actions
of
the
biden
administration
really
represent
a
welcome
and
long
overdue
change.
That
is
not
only
symbolic
but
is
also
accompanied
by
immediate
action
and
some
of
the
most
immediate
policy
actions
are
highlighted
on
this
slide
and
I'll
just
briefly
go
through
each
one
of
them
census
so
day.
E
Another
first
day
action
was
a
presidential
proclamation
directing
the
federal
government
to
no
longer
deny
immigrant
non-immigrant
visas
to
nationals
of
the
following
countries:
libya,
iran,
somalia,
yemen,
syria,
sudan,
nigeria,
tanzania,
myanmar,
burma,
eritrea,
kyrgyzstan,
north
korea
and
venezuela
solely
because
of
country
of
nationality
and
also
instructs
the
secretary
of
state
to
ensure
that
people
whose
visas
were
denied
under
the
trump
era
travel
bans
can
have
their
applications
reconsidered.
E
Another.
Another
action
relates
to
immigration
enforcement
priorities,
an
executive
order
which
revokes
a
trump
administration
order
that
have
prioritized
almost
anyone
who
is
in
the
united
states
without
authorization
for
removal.
E
The
memorandum
also
put
in
place
100-day
moratorium
and
nearly
all
deportations,
although
that
portion
of
the
memorandum
has
been
halted
by
a
federal
court
injunction
in
texas,
so
remains
to
be
seen
how
what
the
outcome
of
that
case
will
be,
and
also
important
to
recognize
that,
despite
these
initiatives,
deportations
are
continuing
to
happen.
E
I'll
move
on
to
daca
the
deferred
action
for
childhood
arrivals
program,
the
president's
executive
order
on
daca
reaffirms
our
nation's
commitments
to
the
program.
It's
also
important
to
note
here
that
daca
eligible
individuals
may
file
for
daca,
not
just
renewals,
but
can
file
initial
daca
applications.
E
Under
the
trump
administration,
refugee
resettlement
numbers
had
dropped.
Precipitously
year
to
year,
the
number
of
individuals
entering
the
united
states
as
refugees
for
the
current
fiscal
year,
which
ends
on
september
30th,
is
15.
000
people,
that's
a
maximum
number
of
individuals
who
can
be
resettled.
E
This
is
the
lowest
ever
since
the
refugee
program
was
created,
and
just
by
comparison,
the
last
year
of
the
obama
administration,
we
had
a
cap
of
110
000
individuals,
the
executive
order
on
refugee
resettlement
orders,
a
streamlining
of
the
application
process,
orders
the
government
to
address
backlogs
and
restores
stability
and
integrity
to
the
united
states
refugee
resettlement
process.
E
The
next.
The
next
action
is
on
restoring
faith
in
our
immigration
system.
Executive
order
establishes
a
task
force
on
new
americans
to
identify
ways
to
promote
acquisition
of
immigration
status
and
advance.
Immigrant
inclusion
calls
for
a
review
of
policies
that
create
barriers,
preventing
people
from
obtaining
immigration
status
and
achieving
immigrant
stability,
including
the
public
charge,
rule
and
regulations
implementing
significant
immigration
filing
fee
increases,
and
it
is
noteworthy
that
we
are
seeing
the
fruits
of
this
executive
order
already,
including
news
that
just
came
out
today,
that
the
public
charge
rule
is
officially
dead.
E
So
the
biden
administration
position
on
a
case
that
was
going
to
be
heard
by
the
supreme
court
has
resulted
in
a
development
where
the
public
charge
rule,
which
prevented
some
individuals
from
obtaining
permanent
residence
based
on
their
use
of
certain
public
benefits
that
rule
is
no
longer
enforced
and
the
department
of
homeland
security
has
issued
a
notice
today
indicating
that
they
are
no
longer
enforcing
the
new
public
charge
rule
that
was
advanced
during
the
biden
administration.
E
Another
development
following
this
executive
order
is
that
the
u.s
citizenship
and
immigration
services
office
has
dialed
back
the
december
2020
naturalization
test
the
civics
component
of
the
test,
which
people
had
lamented
made
it
much
more
difficult
to
obtain
citizenship
because
there
were
more
questions
and
individuals
had
to
answer
more
questions
correctly
in
order
to
pass
a
civics
portion
of
the
test.
So
uscis
has
gone
back
to
a
previous
2008
version
of
the
test,
indicating
that
the
december
2020
task
could
create
an
inadvertent
barrier
to
acquisition
of
u.s
citizenship.
E
So
the
next
executive
order
is
on
reuniting
families.
E
This
executive
order
orders
the
creation
of
a
task
force
to
locate
and
reunite
families,
parents
and
children
who
were
separated
during
one
of
our
nation's
greatest
recent
human
rights,
tragedies
otherwise
known
as
the
former
administration's
zero
tolerance
policy
at
the
southern
border,
and
for
as
far
as
this
task
force
is
concerned,
an
executive
director
was
announced
on
march
1st
and
a
statement
of
principles
guiding
this
very
important.
Work
is
available
on
the
department
of
homeland
security
webpage.
E
Next
border
enforcement
and
the
border
wall,
the
administration
has
indicated
that
building
a
massive
wall
that
spans
the
entire
southern
border
is
not
a
serious
policy
solution
and
has
ordered
a
halt
to
construction
of
border.
The
this
the
border
wall
at
the
southern
border
and
halt
to
diversion
of
funds
for
wall
construction.
E
E
E
There
are
many
more
quite
a
few
more
executive
orders,
proclamations
in
memoranda
that
either
directly
touch
immigrants
or
have
an
impact
on
immigrant
refugees
in
new
american
communities,
such
as
the
combating
racism,
xenophobia
and
intolerance
against
api
community
statement,
another
advancing
racial
equity
and
support
for
underserved
communities-
and
I
just
want
to
mention
that
my
office,
in
conjunction
with
my
counterpart
in
st
paul,
who
manages
the
immigrant
and
refugee
program,
are
co-hosting
weekly
immigration
forums
on
tuesdays
from
4
30
to
6,
to
kind
of
take
these
initiatives
piecemeal
and
identify
speakers
who
can
come
and
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
what
the
impacts
are
where
to
get
more
information,
and
we
will
hold
these
meetings
weekly
for
the
foreseeable
future.
E
I
think
it's
also
important
to
consider
the
fact
that,
despite
these
very
exciting
developments,
as
I
indicated
earlier,
deportations
are
continuing
to
happen
and
I
think
it's
especially
noteworthy
to
note
that
refugees
are
still
at
risk
of
deportation.
E
Refugees,
including
stateless
people,
continue
to
be
at
risk
of
removal
if
there
are
grounds
of
deportability
that
apply
to
them
and
that
at
this
point
we
do
not
have
a
clear
policy
or
law
that
effectively
halts
deportations,
including
individuals
who
entered
the
united
states
as
refugees
or
individuals
whose
lives
would
be
in
danger,
if
forced
to
return
to
their
home
countries,
and
perhaps
at
this
point
I'll
pause
to
see
if,
if
representative
omar
might
be
available.
Otherwise
they
can
continue.
C
Yes,
thank
you,
ms
rivero
for
that
really
outstanding
report.
So
many
positive
actions
on
behalf
of
immigrants
in
in.
H
C
Community
and
across
the
united
states,
we
are
excited
to
to
welcome
the
distinguished
congresswoman
ilhan
omar,
to
provide
us
a
few
words
of
by
way
of
introduction.
As
the
the
as
I
believe
she
now
has
been
appointed
to
the
congressional
committee
on
africa,
serving
as
the
first
congress
person
born
in
africa
to
be
a
part
of
that
committee
and
also
just
want
to
say,
congratulations
on
passing
the
most
promising
progressive
piece
of
legislation
in
in
recent
times,
since
the
american
care
act.
C
So
I
will
ask
my
colleagues:
are
there
any
questions
or
comments
that
you
might
have
for
ms
rivero
before
we
go
on
to
to
hear
from
some
of
our
community.
C
Guests,
none,
I'm
gonna,
ask
miss
rivero
if
you
want
to
introduce
some
of
the
community
members
that
are
on
the
line
as
we
wait
for
congresswoman
omar
to
arrive.
E
Thank
you
so
much
committee
chair
jenkins.
C
Hang
on
hang
on
hang
on
hang
on
now,
I'm
getting
a
message
that
she
is
here
now.
That's
the
challenge
with
these
virtual
environments,
congresswoman
omar.
Are
you
on
the
line.
C
We
can
hear
you
now,
we,
we
can't
see
you,
but
we
can
absolutely
hear
you.
I
hope
you
heard
my
introduction,
but
if
not
I'm
just
gonna
offer
you
the
microphone.
J
Well,
it's
really
great
to
be
here
with
you
vice
president
jenkins,
I
just
wanted
to
give
you
all
a
quick
update.
Next
week,
we
are
expected
to
see
some
immigration
bills
come
to
the
house
floor,
probably
including
the
dream
and
promise
act
which
offers
a
pathway
to
citizenship
for
dreamers,
tbs
holders
and
ded
recipients.
J
Neither
of
these
bills
is
perfect
and
I'm
working
in
close
coordination
with
other
progressives
in
congress
to
improve
them
before
we
pass
them
on
to
the
senate.
There
are
a
lot
of
moving
parts,
especially
in
the
senate,
so
I
can't
really
offer
a
clear
timeline
on
when
we
will
see
things
become
law.
J
It
is
certainly
the
case
that
there
is
a
lot
of
energy
in
the
democratic
party
around
moving
significant
immigration
bills
in
this
congress,
and
that
this
is
the
time
when
members
of
the
community,
like
yourselves
and
others
who
are
hopefully
listening
to.
This
call
should
push
hard
on
making
sure
these
bills
are
passed
into
law.
We
also
need
a
coordinated
push
to
ensure
that
these
bills
are
improved
and
don't
contribute
to
the
criminalization
of
immigrants.
J
I
look
forward
to
hearing
from
you
all
on
what
priorities
you
want
to
see
in
in
these
bills.
J
I
also
wanted
to
offer
a
word
of
caution.
There
will
be
a
lot
of
rumors
flying
around
as
we
work
on
these
bills
and
it's
important
for
members
of
the
immigrant
community
in
minneapolis
to
make
sure
that
you
are
accessing
accurate
information
from
credible
sources
to
avoid
being
taken
advantage
of.
J
If
someone
is
promising
you
that
you
will
definitely
get
a
green
card
or
a
passport,
if
you
pay
the
money,
please
ask
another
attorney.
For
a
second
opinion,
our
immigration
system
is
complex
and
messy
as
someone
who's
gone
through.
It
know
this
very
well
and
it
sounds,
and
it
often
sounds
if
something
sounds
too
good
to
to
to
be
true.
It
probably
is.
J
J
Some
of
the
most
common
issues
are
usually
helping
expedite
a
work
permit
application,
so
someone
doesn't
lose
a
job
offer
helping
schedule
an
interview
for
a
family
visa
due
to
humanitarian
situations,
checking
in
on
the
status
of
a
case
that
is
outside
of
the
post-it
processing
times
getting
clarification
from
an
agency
about
the
responses
they
have
sent.
You
many
aspects
of
our
immigration
system
are
backlogged
at
the
moment.
J
In
particular,
a
lot
of
our
constituents
are
waiting
months
to
receive
a
receipt
notice
from
the
government
or
for
a
biometric
appointment
that
would
allow
their
application
to
be
finalized.
If
you
or
your
constituents
have
any
questions
about
their
pending
applications,
please
don't
hesitate
to
contact
our
office.
C
Thank
you
so
much
congresswoman
omar
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
exciting
movement
happening
around
immigration
issues,
and
that
certainly
is
really
good
news
for
our
immigrant
brothers
and
sisters.
You
know
one
of
the
one
of
the
things
that
I
think
is
gonna
come
out
in
the
in
some
of
the
other
presentations.
That
we'll
hear
is
that
you
know
so.
C
Many
immigrants
to
this
country
are
are
coming
from
black
and
and
and
african
countries
and
various
islands,
for
example
haiti,
where
people
are
are
being
detained
and
and
sort
of
relocated
back
to
their
communities.
Can
you
can
you
speak
a
little
bit
to
the
to
the
african
community
and
the
immigration
challenges
that
are
faced?
And
I
know
we
do
have
council
member
osman
in
q2
to
ask
some
questions.
J
Yeah,
I
know
I
really
do
appreciate
that
question.
I
think
you're,
referring
to
the
deportations
that
are
currently
happening
to
our
community
members
who
are
from
haiti.
J
We
have
seen
an
unprecedented
amount
of
deportations
for
black
immigrants.
We
are
oftentimes,
not
part
of
the
conversation
when
it
comes
to
the
immigration
debate.
J
I
think
you
know
that
often
is
reserved
in
in
in
talking
about
the
the
the
latino
community,
the
the
non-black
latino
community,
and
we
know
that
immigration
and
folks
who
are
undocumented
are
coming
from
all
over
the
world,
and
so
we
are
seeing
you
know
high
levels
of
deportation
for
black
immigrants
when
black
immigrants
make
up
smaller
population
of
the
undocumented
immigrants
in
this
country,
but
they
make
up
a
higher
portion
of
those
who
are
being
detained
in
our
detention,
centers
and
being
deported,
and
so
we've
done
a
lot
of
work
in
in
uplifting
their
stories
talking
about
their
journeys
and
assisting
them.
J
You
know
with
immigration
case
work,
but
we've
also
been
fighting
very
hard
in
stopping
some
of
the
deportations
that
are
taking
place
for
our
against
our
black
immigrants,
the
black
caucus
traveled
to
the
border.
Last
year
to
speak
and
and
witness
the
black
immigrants
that
were
coming
to
our
our
border
and
and
were
in
detention,
centers
and
some
that
were
facing
deportation,
I
did
a
a
a
conversation
in
at
the
black
caucus
leadership
conference
around
you
know
black
migration
in
into
this
country.
J
From
you
know,
enslavement,
to
you
know
the
folks
that
are
coming
undocumented
to
those
of
us
who
have
come
with
the
status
of
of
refugees
and
others
who
come
here
for
work.
Talking
about
the
challenges
that
we
uniquely
face
and
some
of
the
opportunities
we
do
bring
to
to
this
country,
and
so
you
know,
as
the
only
african-born.
J
Immigrant
in
in
congress,
it's
been
my
number
one
priority:
to
give
voice
to
our
our
struggles
and
and
challenges
as
black
immigrants
in
this
country.
C
Thank
you
so
much
for
those
efforts.
Councilmember
osman,.
K
Thank
you,
madam
vice
president.
Thank
you.
Congresswoman
for
being
the
champion
of
immigrants,
you're,
doing
a
wonderful
job
and
important
job.
Your
office
has
been
to
go
place
for
all
the
challenges
immigrant
community
had.
K
As
a
director
rivera
mentioned,
there
were
1064
policy
action
that
trump
administration
act
on
it
and
that
had
a
real
effect,
real
life
effect
of
immigrants,
not
just
here
in
minneapolis
but
around
the
country,
and
I
think
that
just
shows
that
we
do.
We
have
a
lot
of
work.
We
have
to
do
and
thank
you
for
for
fighting
and
and
reversing
majority
of
those
policies
that
would
that
was
act
on
by
the
admin
administration
before
and
restoring
faith
for
immigrant
community.
K
It's
it's
the
way
to
go,
and
I
would
say
right
here
at
city
of
minneapolis,
it's
an
immigrant
city,
I
would
say
the
office
of
immigrants.
It's
very
important
play
a
huge
role
and
the
michelle.
Thank
you
for
the
work
you
do.
We
do
need
to
increase
resources
and
and
staff
for
this
office.
This
office
has
been
office
that
my
president
contact
and
free
child
that
has
been
you
know,
dealing
with
deportation
public
charge.
K
All
the
challenges
that
our
community
is
facing,
so
as
a
city
of
minneapolis,
we
do
need
to
take
a
lead,
increase
the
resource
and
put
more
more
effort
of.
K
Standing
those
individuals
and
those
immigrant
communities
that
have
been
dealing
with
the
policy
changes
and
and
that
aggressiveness
of
donald
trump
and
his
administration,
so
I
just
want
to
close
it
down
that
and
congresswoman.
Thank
you
for
being
a
champion
of
immigrants
and
anything
we
can
do
in
the
city
of
minneapolis.
J
Yeah
no,
I
I
appreciate
that
and
I
hope
that
you'll
continue
to
utilize
our
our
office
in
in
helping
expedite
some
of
the
case
work
for
your
constituents.
C
I
don't
see
any
and-
and
I
don't
know
if
you
how,
when
you
got
on
the
call
congresswoman
omar,
but
I
did
want
to
just
make
sure
that
we
at
the
city
of
minneapolis,
on
behalf
of
the
council,
the
residents
really
just
thank
you
so
much
for
crafting
contributing
to
and
and
ultimately
passing
the
american
rescue
act,
which
it's
just
going
to
be
so
beneficial
for.
For
for
families,
for
individuals
for
for
small
businesses,
for
state
and
local
governments.
C
You
know
just
can't
really
thank
you
enough
for
for
your
efforts
there
and
I
know
you've
been
deeply
involved.
We
we
shared
the
stage
on
a
press
conference
together
as
well
as
I
see
all
of
the
town
halls
and
forums
and
different
listening
sessions
that
you
host
from
your
office,
and
we
really
appreciate
your
dedicated
and
committed
service
to
the
residents
of
minneapolis,
but
all
of
congressional
district.
Five.
C
Just
thank
you
so
much,
and
I
see
council,
member
kano
in
q
and
I'm
not
sure
councilmember
gordon
did
you
want
to
speak
your
note
of
gratitude
out
loud.
G
D
L
Thank
you.
You
know
I
I
wanted
to
share
that.
L
You
know
I'm
really
proud
to
have
both
a
black
woman
and
an
immigrant
as
our
congressional
representative,
and
I
wanted
to
just
recognize
how
powerful
that
shared
identity
is,
especially
in
our
times
now,
when
we're
having
such
big
and
deep
conversations
about
the
structural
violence
that
this
country
was
founded
on
and
how
those
communities
are
impacted
by
that
history
and
and-
and
I
just
want
to
encourage
you
to
keep
using
that
lived
experience
that
you
bring
to
this
job
into
this
country
and
to
keep
leaning
on
that,
because
I
think
that
that's
a
skill
set
and
a
unique
perspective
and
voice
that
can
be
leveraged
in
in
so
many
ways
to
help
our
communities
share.
L
The
truths
of
how
that
structural
violence
has
impacted
their
lives,
how
it
continues
to
create
myths
in
in
our
community
that
seek
to
divide
to
divide
us
and
to
point
fingers
and
and
in
so
many
ways
you
know,
I
think
you
you
symbolize
the
bringing
together
of
those
experiences
in
a
way
that
can
really
move
america
forward.
L
So
I
just
wanted
to
to
share
that
that
that
skill
set
that
you
bring
to
this
terrain
is
just
so
needed
and
so
powerful
and
and
on
the
note
of
power.
You
know
I
wanted
to
share
with
my
colleagues
and
with
the
folks
on
this
call
today
that
this
morning
I
was
listening
to
to
the
radio
and
had
just
left
a
conversation
with
a
few
among
residents
and
leaders
as
we
continue
to
engage
the
issue
of
structural
violence
and
truth-telling
and
repairing
harms
in
in
our
city.
L
And
there
was
a
segment
by
a
professor
from
princeton
ann
chang,
who
who
talks
about
how
we
as
communities
are
often
as
as
under
as
under-resourced
and
and
racialized
communities,
are
often
encouraged
to
race
to
the
bottom.
L
To
to
to
to
explain
why
we're
important
that
that
somehow,
you
know
the
the
the
person
who
can
prove
the
biggest
pain
or
the
most
pain
deserves
the
most
attention
and
she
problematized
that
framework
and
talked
about
how
you
know
the
the
stereotypes
of
the
of
the
asian
model
minority
and
what
what
you
know
has
been
claimed
as
the
welfare
queen.
L
How
they're
part
of
the
the
same
coin
they're
faces
of
of
the
same
coin
and
they
all
support
the
the
continuation
of
white
supremacy
and
white
structural
racism
in
our
country,
and
so
she
encouraged
us
to
think
about
this
from
from
a
place
of
not
pain
which
which
is
sort
of
like
a
race
to
the
bottom
conversation.
L
But
more
about
power
in
that
we
all
belong
here
and
we
all
deserve
to
be
treated
equally
respectfully
with
dignity
and
compassion
without
our
children
being
incarcerated
and
jailed
at
the
border.
And
you
know
thousands
of
children
being
quote:
unquote
lost
in
the
detention
system
missing
and
murdered
indigenous
women.
L
The
black
lives
matter
movement
that
all
of
these
pieces
should
really
operate
from
a
place
of
power
of
affirmation
of
of
of
the
love
and
hope
and
dreams
that
we
bring
to
this
country
and
and
and
denounce
the
notion
that
we
only
matter
when
we're
hurting
or
that
we
only
matter
and
people
should
only
listen
to
us
when
when
we're
hurt-
and
that
was
really
illuminating
for
me-
and
I
just
wanted
to
share
that
with
you-
congresswoman,
because
I
think
that
we
are
holding
so
much
as
a
community
that
that
it's
a
constant
it's
a
constant
act
to
remind
ourselves
of
our
value
and
our
love
for
people,
and
that
we
are
in
this
to
share
that
and
and
and
not
to
compete
with
having
to
show
who
has
the
deepest
wounds
and
explain
why
those
deep
wounds
are
deeper
and
it.
L
You
know,
quickly,
turns
into
sort
of
this
debilitating
space.
Of
of
of,
like
she
said
race
to
the
bottom.
So
I
I
just
found
that
really
empowering
a
conversation
around
that
and
what
it
means
for
all
of
us
to
share
that
that
power,
together
and
and
I'll
just
end
it
with.
Thank
you
so
much
for
joining
us
today
in
this
historic
presentation.
L
In
a
time
in
our
country
where
we
are
recuperating
a
lot
of
loss
and
harm
that
has
been
done
by
the
previous
administration,
and
I
know
that
you
have
been
a
champion
of
pushing
back
against
the
agenda
of
hate
and
racism
and
and
we
we
hope
that
you
can
continue
to
to
represent
us
and
fight
for
us
under
the
banner
of
love,
compassion
and
inclusion,
and
understanding
the
potential
that
this
country
has
once
we're
able
to
liberate
ourselves
from
those
chains.
C
Thank
you
councilmember.
Next
we
have
councilmember
johnson
and-
and
I
do
just
want
to
note
that
one
of
our
community
speakers
has
a
hard
stop
at
2
30.
So
we
want
to
give
a
moment
to
hear
from
them
as
well.
Councilmember
johnson.
I
Thank
you,
council
vice
president
jenkins,
and
I
might
be
having
a
little
bit
of
a
camera
difficulty
here.
So
I'll
just
go
without
that
for
a
second,
but
just
really
want
to
express
my
gratitude
to
the
congresswoman
for
all
that
she's
doing
from
immigration
policy.
To
today's
huge
monumental
win
of
this
covid
relief
package,
which
you
you
know,
congresswoman
omar,
have
been
such
a
tireless
advocate
with
us
all
the
way
on
this,
and
it
seems,
like
you
know,
such
a
huge
need
for
such
a
long
time.
I
C
Thank
you
councilmember
johnson,
and
if
the
congresswoman
wants
to
have
any
rebuttal,
please
do
so
otherwise.
I
will
ask
miss
rivero
to
continue
with
the
presentation.
As
I
know,
we
have
some
community
members
on
the
line
that
want
to
speak
to
us
and
and
maybe
even
hear
from
the
congresswoman
too.
So
is
it
congresswoman.
J
Yeah,
I
I
don't,
I
don't
have
a
rebuttal.
I
just
wanted
to
express
my
gratitude
for
the
time
you
have
all
allowed
it
me
and
for
your
continued
partnership.
I
you
know
today's
win
on
the
american
rescue
plan.
Isn't
just
the
members
of
congress
who
fought
for
it?
It
is
you
know
those
of
you
in
in
city
halls
and
state
houses
who
have
stood
with
us
and
advocated
and
uplifted
the
the
voices
of
your
own
constituents.
J
Our
shared
constituents
and
talked
to
the
importance
of
delivering
such
a
package
is,
is
the
reason
that
we
are
successful
in
in
today
and
hopefully
within
few
hours,
that
bill
will
be
signed
into
law
and
our
constituents
will
will
feel
as
the
mayor
of
minneapolis
just
texted
me
the
gigantic
belief
that
they
that
they
will
get,
and
so
I
I
am
just
grateful
to
all
of
you
for
helping
me-
have
the
opportunity
to
advocate,
with
with
your
voices,
uplifting
our
work
and
I
just
wanted
to
just
respond
to
congresswoman
kano.
J
I
really
do
appreciate
your
your
insight
and,
and
you
know
your
willingness
to
to
share
those
stories.
I
always
talk
about.
You
know
as
people
who
are
fighting
for
justice
in
in
this
country
and
for
liberation,
and
you
know
who
come
from
communities
who
live
in
the
margins
of
society.
Who've
dealt
with
oppression
on
different
levels.
We
should
never
engage
in
oppression
olympics.
J
We
are
all
fighting
for
our
collective
liberty
and
solidarity
is
the
way
that
we
will
win
that,
and
so
I
do
appreciate
you
sharing
that
story,
because
that
is
the
underlying
message
that
I
take
with
me
every
single
day,
as
I
collectively
fight
for
for
all
of
us,
and
it
means
a
great
deal
to
know
that
I
I
represent
a
district
and
a
city
that
has
so
many
heroes
that
have
been
fighting
way
before.
J
C
Thank
you
so
much
congresswoman
omar,
ms
rivera,
I'm
gonna
offer
you
the
microphone,
so
you
can

minneapolis.
So

this
point,
if
we
can
advance
next
slide,
I

I

overview
on
u.s
citizenship
act,
but
I'll
just

the
next
slide
to
ensure
that
our
speakers
have
enough
time
to
speak
today
how
to
get
accurate
information

Please

Thank

E
So
at
this
time,
I'd
like
to
invite
two
community
leaders
to
address
their
work
and
perspectives
relating
to
immigrant
advocacy
in
the
current
environment.
E
M
Thank
you
so
much
council
vice
president
andrea
jenkins
and
congresswoman
representative
omar.
M
I

to
be
able
to
be
on
here
and
to
share-
and
I
know
representative-
we
spoke
not
too
long
ago,
so
this
will
probably
not
be
anything
new
to
you,
but
I'm
hoping
to
have
the
opportunity
for
the
council,
members
and
the
city
members
that
are
on
here
to
be
able
to
really
understand
the
issues
as
they
all
kind
of
relate
to
one
another
within
this
immigrant
under
immigration,
and
so
some
of
the
things
that
I
want
to
touch
on
is
specifically
around
the
southeast
asian
communities
and
some
of
the
laws
today
that
have
led
to
mass
incarceration
and
deportation
of
our
community
members.
M
We
know
that
you
know
many
people
face
automatic
and
mandatory
detention
and
deportation
and
that
immigration
courts
have
very
little
power.
In
fact,
for
instance,
like
my
youngest
brother
himself,
he
didn't
even
have
an
opportunity
to
speak
in
front
of
an
immigration
judge
before
he
was
issued
a
final
order
of
removal.
M
My
family
is
cambodian
and
the
khmer
rouge
rose
to
the
power
as
a
direct
result
of
military
intervention
in
the
country,
and
it
resulted
in
millions
of
deaths
of
innocent
people
who
ended
up
escaping
to
refugee
camps
in
thailand
and
right
now
there
are
over
17
000
southeast
asians,
with
deportation
orders
or
final
removal
orders
two
countries
that
most
of
them
have
never
even
set
foot
on
and
they're
being
punished
for
old
crimes.
M
That
they've
already
served,
and
most
of
these
individuals
were
tried
as
adults
in
their
youth
and
have
been
locked
up
ever
since
and
now
are
being
deported.
M
Despite
their
rehabilitation-
and
so
some
of
I
just
want
to
also
echo
the
representatives
response,
unlike
the
bidenville
and
the
u.s
citizenships
act,
I
think
that
like
for
us
as
organizers,
we
definitely
are
supportive
in
some
ways,
but
not
always
right,
because
we
think
about
the
universal
waiver
and
that
it
compromises
like
deport
the
deport,
deep,
deep
portability
right,
and
so
I'm
sorry.
M
So
it's
narrowing
the
waiver
for
folks
who
have
aggravated
felonies
and
we
think
about
minnesota,
eight
and
the
folks
that
we
work
with
majority
of
those
folks
under
immigration
purposes.
They're
considered
aggravated
felonies,
even
if
they're
on
the
state
level
they're
like
the
crimes
would
be
like
either
a
gross
misdemeanor
or
a
misdemeanor,
but
on
a
federal
term
it's
considered
an
aggravated
felony.
However,
some
of
the
things
that
we
do
appreciate
about
the
bill
is
that
it
does
include
almost
all
of
the
reuniting
families
act.
Verbiage.
M
In
fact,
minnesota
eight
is
a
part
of
the
value
our
families
campaign,
who
has
advocated
and
won
the
inclusion
of
the
the
wording
around
around
rfa,
that
is
included
in
the
the
united
states,
citizenship
act
bill
and
then,
like
legalizing.
The
11
million
undocumented
immigrants,
which
we
believe
is
the
fastest
path
to
citizenship,
and
we
know
that
api
folks
right
now
are
one
of
the
fastest
undocumented
folks
that
is
that
is
around,
and
so
I
also
wanted
to
share
about
the
new
way
forward
act.
M
Even
though
right
now,
it's
really
kind
of
like
a
marker
bill,
but
there's
been
a
lot
of
clout
around
that
it
was
reintroduced
in
the
117th
congress
and
thank
you,
representative
omar
as
one
of
the
co-sponsors
on
the
bill,
and
so
one
of
the
key
components
of
this
bill
would
like
eliminate
the
mandatory
detention
redefine
convictions,
ending
deportations
based
on
certain
convictions
and
restoring
judicial
discretion
for
immigration,
judges,
creating
a
five-year
statute
of
limitations
for
deportability,
which
means
that
if
a
person
is
issued
their
final
orders
if
they're
not
removed
within
five
years,
and
they
technically
can't.
M
M
However,
we're
thankful
that
some
of
that
language
is
in
the
bill,
but
what
that
would
do
is
that,
right
now
the
current
family
based
immigration
system
has,
it
hasn't,
been
updated
in
about
20
years,
and
it's
keeping
spouses,
children
and
their
parents
separated
for
years
and
often
decades,
and
what
this
would
do
would
it
would
reduce
family
immigration,
visa
backlogs
and
really
promote
a
humane
and
timely
reunification
of
immigrant
families,
and
so
those
are
about
the
two
bills
that
I
definitely
wanted
to
touch
on
and
just
wanted
to
say
that
we're
a
part
of
a
national
strategy
that
we're
working
on
is
we
want
to
just
thank
all
the
legislators,
all
the
council
members
who
are
also
on
this
call,
who
have
supported
and
listened
to
us
around
southeast
asian
deportation,
but
as
as
a
national
strategy,
we're
looking
at
like
a
reflection
of
the
last
four
years
and
what
could
be
possible
on
a
national
level
to
push
for
more.
M
You
know
and
because
most
of
our
representatives
have
and
elected
officials
have
like
declared
statements
or
resolutions,
but
we
just
want
to
be
able
to
see
what
can
we
do
on
a
national
level
and
after
we
reflect
on
how
the
past
four
years
have
looked
like,
and
one
of
the
resources
that
I
wanted
to
share
too
around
this
is
minnesota.
8
is
one
of
we
have.
M
We
are
one
of
250
legal
kiosks
in
minnesota,
a
part
of
this
project
that
addresses
all
sorts
of
issues,
whether
it
be
civil
issues,
housing
issues,
deportation
issues,
but
we
have
teamed
up
with
volunteer
lawyers
network
specifically
as
well
as
immigrant
law
center
of
minnesota,
and
so
we
have
a
legal
kiosk
here
in
our
office
which
what
we,
what
it
would
do
is
the
purpose
of
the
kiosk
would
provide
free
immigration,
legal
advice
and
screening
services
for
those
with
final
orders
of
removal
to
be
able
to
connect
them
to
either
do
a
virtual
visit
in
person
appointments
with
lawyers
who
are
proficient
or
experts
in
the
intersection
of
immigration,
and
so
we
I
can
send
that
information
where
michelle
can
share
it
out.
M
M
A
couple
days
ago,
the
anwaton
middle
school
principal
ellen
schumann
used
the
term
chinese
or
china
virus
in
a
meeting
with
about
20
other
minneapolis
school
staff,
members
and-
and
it's
just
been
really
harmful
to
hear
because
nationally,
we
already
hear
about
all
the
hate
that's
going
on
and
then
to
hear
from
a
respected
equity
leader
and
in
the
district
leadership
that
have
not
acknowledged
what
has
happened
or
come
up
with
a
plan
for
accountability,
and
so
as
an
api
person
and
leader
here
in
minnesota.
M
It's
really
hard
to
know
that
our
students
and
parents
are
afraid
of
you
know
sending
our
students
or
children
to
school.
Given
everything
that's
going
on
right
now,
and
so
I
just
want
to
thank
you
all
again
for
your
time.
You
know
that
was
a
lot
in
a
very
short
time,
but
thank
you
again
for
giving
me
this
opportunity
to
share.
N
Okay,
all
right,
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
having
this
meeting
and
for
everyone
who's
talking
before
me.
There
are
some
things
I
was
gonna
talk
about
that
folks
have
touched
on,
so
I
will
not
repeat
that,
but
I'm
neka
sopoti
and
I'm
with
the
black
immigrant
collective.
N
N
I
think
the
we
are
really
our
work
has
over
the
last
four
years,
as
you
can
imagine,
has
just
been
incredibly
difficult
and
one
of
the
things
that
I
did,
I
mean
why
I'm
speaking
today
is
to
highlight
the
impact
of
all
the
immigration
policies
or
lack
of
policies
on
on
black
immigrants
here
in
minneapolis,
and
I
also
just
wanted
to
say
you
know
to
previous
conversations
that
have
happened,
that
you
know
it's
absolutely
not
oppression
olympics
to
focus
on
the
ways
in
which
people
are
uniquely
marginalized,
yeah.
N
So,
for
example,
I'll
talk
about
black
immigrants,
but
even
within
that,
there's
specific
groups
of
black
immigrants
that
have
even
more
marginalized
experiences
with
the
with
the
system
and
so,
for
example,
black
queer
and
trans
immigrant
have
some
of
the
longest
detention
rates
of
any
group
of
immigrants.
They
also
are
often
put
in
isolation.
N
In
fact,
there
was
a
report
that
came
out
last
year.
That
said,
dark
immigrants,
particularly
africans,
are
six
times
more
likely
to
be
put
in
isolation,
oil
in
detention
than
any
other
group
of
immigrants
and
and
then
also
part
of
the
narrative
that
has
been
very
damaging
to
our
communities,
that
people
also
don't
realize
that
immigration
policy
benefits
them.
N
So,
for
example,
when
daca
first
came
out
a
lot
of
black
immigrants
thought
it
was
a
latino
only
policy,
and
so
people
who
could
have
qualified
didn't
qualify,
and
so
it
took
our
other
resource
communities
to
do
a
lot
of
extra
work
to
do
the
public,
education,
around
policy
and
the
ways
in
which
the
folks
benefit
from
it
and
then
for
the
purposes,
because
you
know
most
of
you
don't
have
don't
vote
on
federal
policy.
N
The
ways
in
which
the
city
really
has
to
be
paying
attention
to
immigration
is
police
are
the
first
contact
for
a
lot
of
immigrants
who
end
up
in
detention
and
deportation
and
like
70
over
70
percent,
and
this
number
is
a
big
old.
So
it's
a
six
like
five
to
six
years
old,
and
so
the
numbers
are,
of
course,
going
to
be.
N
You
know
either
the
same
or
worse,
but
over
70
percent
of
black
immigrants
who
are
in
detention
who
are
or
who
are
deported
are
because
of
the
interaction
of
police
that
the
first
time.
So
you
have
folks
who
are
in
there
for
marijuana
or
for
driving
with
a
broken
taillight
and
they
get
pulled
over
next
thing.
N
You
know
their
identity,
tension
or
detain,
interpretation
and
then
they're
also
staying
there
for
long
and
then
you
know,
for
example,
you
know
we
just
have
the
case
of
dollar
id,
who
was
murdered
by
police,
who
is
a
somali
immigrant,
and
if
you
look
at,
if
you
look
at
his
before
he
was
murdered.
N
If
you
look
at
his
interaction
with
the
police
and
how
many
times
he
had
been
pulled
over
and
the
interaction
that
he
had
with
the
mpd's
community
response
team
and
how
they
target
black
people,
especially
black
youth-
and
it
creates
that
condition
that
you
know
this
pipeline-
that
we
are
seeing
in
really
exaggerated
ways
on
how
it's
impacting
our
folks.
N
And
so
you
know,
I'm
sure
everyone's
celebrating
biden
being
in
office
and
a
lot
of
us
are
not,
and
because
there
is
a
different
kind
of
stress
that
now
we
have
a
lot
of
it
has
already
started.
Folks
have
highlighted
the
deportation
of
haitians.
N
Also
jamaicans
have
been
included
in
that
and
in
recently
there
was
also
flights
to
east
africa,
and
there
are
other
schedule
sites
to
other
parts
of
africa.
Those
one
to
central
africa
too,
and
you
know
the
question
that
we
should
all
be
asking
and
the
challenge
that
I
post
to
everyone,
who's
celebrating
all
these
bills
and
memos
and
all
that
stuff
is
like.
N
Yes,
in
some
ways,
they're
great
and
in
many
ways
the
question
is,
who
is
being
left
behind?
Who
are
the
most
marginalized
people
and
why
are
they
being
left
behind?
And
why
is
that
acceptable
that
we're
gonna
we
as
in
this
time
in
history,
that
that
is
something
allowable,
that
there
are
people
who
will
continue
to
be
criminalized
in
in
in
these
ways
and
yeah?
So
even
an
example.
N
I'll
just
give
is
the
muslim
ban
that
biden
rescinded
yesterday
the
administration
just
announced
that
they
will
not
issue
visas
to
diversity,
visa
recipients
who
are
denied
who
are
denied
their
visas
because
of
trump's
muslim
ban.
N
So
that's
incredible
that
you
know
biden
did
this
on
the
surface
thing
and
rescinded
the
muslim
ban,
or
we
also
call
it
the
african
ban,
because
majority
of
the
countries
and
people
listed
on
that
are
africans
and
that
we
are
having
this
moment
where
everyone's
celebrating
that
it's
no
longer
a
ban.
But
you
know
the
there's
that
the
student
visas,
the
impact
on
on
black
immigrants.
N
So
many
of
them,
you
know
that's
one
of
the
few
opportunities
they
have
to
come
to
the
states
for
college,
because
the
lottery
system
is
also
anti-black.
N
So
there's
just
so
many
ways
in
which,
like
we
have
to
interrogate
every
time,
there's
a
bill
or
a
memo.
I
always
ask
people
you
have
to
ask
what's
happening
with
black
immigrants,
when
people
started
talking
about
child
children,
being
caged
we'd
already
been
hearing
about
that
from
congolese
women
who
had
turned
themselves
in
from
the
southern
border
and
their
kids
were
separated
from
them.
N
This
was
like
years
before
it
became
the
rallying
cry
that
every
progressive
is
apparently
caring
about
now,
and
so
I
I
think
that,
as
just
you
know,
end
that
and
say
that
you
know
as
a
city
that
claims
to
be
a
sanctuary,
there
has
to
be
a
lot
more
work
done
on
the
local
level,
so
that
our
folks
don't
end
up
on
this
pipeline,
where
they
are
they're
traumatized
by
all
sorts
of
the
ways
that
the
system
interacts
with
them,
and
it
is
not
just
the
federal
government's
responsibility
to
look
out
for
our
neighbors
and
that's
all
thanks
for
listening.
C
Thank
you
so
much
miss
papati
for
really
illustrating
these
really
nuanced
and
challenging
issues
and
that
everything
that
always
looks
to
be
encouraging.
C
We,
we
have
to
read
and
understand
the
details,
so
I
really
want
to
thank
you
for
bringing
that
perspective
and
and
for
being
a
part
of
this
presentation
today.
Ms
rivero,
did
you
want
to
offer
any
final
remarks.
E
Council
vice
president
jenkins,
there
are
a
couple
of
additional
speakers,
and
first
I'd
like
to
say
thank
you
so
much
to
monta
and
nakasa
for
sharing
your
perspectives,
very
clear-eyed
views
of
what
the
opportunities
are
and
what
the
challenges
are.
I
think
that
it's
so
important
to
recognize
the
expertise
that
we
have
within
our
own
cultural
communities
here
in
the
city
of
minneapolis,
but
if
I
could
just
move
to
the
next
slide,
I
know
that
that
monta
walked
through
some
of
this
information
and
next
slide.
Please
next
slide.
Please
next
slide
please.
E
So
I
was
going
to
cover
some
immigrant
refugee
and
new
american
inclusion
initiatives
in
minneapolis
and
minnesota
and
perhaps
given
the
time
constraints,
I
might
just
run
through
some
of
this
super
fast,
so
that
our
last
speakers
have
an
opportunity
to
present
the
information
that
they
wanted
to
share.
So
next
slide,
please.
E
So
I
do
think
it's
important
to
highlight
that
our
immigrant
communities
represent
over
15
percent
of
the
population
of
the
city
of
minneapolis
over
65
000
individuals
and
more
than
half
of
those
people
do
not
have
u.s
citizenship
next
slide.
Please
it's
also
important
to
recognize
that
one
in
four
children
in
the
minneapolis-st
paul
area
has
at
least
one
immigrant
parent
next
slide.
Please
there's
some.
E
E
Yes,
thank
you.
So
I've
just
highlighted
here
some
city
inclusion
policies
and
initiatives.
E
Our
senior
advisor
on
human
trafficking,
cultural
community
specialists,
language
access
support
and
immigration,
legal
service
partnerships,
which
I've
discussed
previously
next
slide.
Please,
and
then
this
is
just
a
brief
overview
of
some
of
the
highlights
of
the
work
of
oira
over
2020,
and
I
just
want
to
specifically
mention
the
weekly
food
distribution
at
powderhorn
park
that
an
oira
having
a
physical
presence
regularly
at
that
food
distribution.
That
city
sponsored
food
distribution
initiative
really
provided
an
opportunity
to
reach
a
large,
predominantly
latinx
community.
E
E
I
want
to
make
sure
that
the
council
is
aware
of
resources
and
updates
at
the
state
level.
I
have
a
counterpart,
the
anissa
hajimumin,
who
is
the
assistant
commissioner
for
immigrant
and
refugee
affairs
at
the
department
of
employment
and
economic
development?
Also
current
bills
at
the
state
legislature
that
impact
health
safety
and
welfare
of
our
communities
include
a
bill
which
would
reduce
the
penalty
for
a
gross
misdemeanor
conviction
from
365
to
364
days,
which
has
an
impact
on
people's
ability
to
obtain
immigration
relief,
including
in
removal
proceedings.
E
Next
slide,
please,
and
at
this
moment
I
would
like
to
focus
on
our
partners
in
development
of
workforce
and
inclusion
solutions
and
would
invite
carolina
ortiz
a
communications
director
for
the
organization
kopal
to
offer
some
information.
A
frontline
perspective
on
some
of
the
issues
that
I've
addressed
and
then
we
have.
Our
last
speaker
is
grace
walls
who
will
discuss
the
minneapolis
regional
chambers,
partnership
with
the
city
and
development
of
immigrant
refugee
and
new
american
inclusion
initiatives.
O
Thank
you
so
much
michelle
and
thank
you
all
for
the
opportunity
to
be
here
today.
My
name
is
carolina.
Ortiz,
as
michelle
said,
I
am
the
communications
director
for
copai
to
give
you
some
more
information.
Ankopal
kopal
started
in
january
of
2018,
with
the
mission
of
uniting
our
minnesota
latinx
community,
an
active
grassroots
communal
democracy
and
michelle
I'm.
So
sorry,
I
forgot.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
so
much.
O
Today
I
will
be
focusing
specifically
on
data
within
our
latinx
community.
As
the
pandemic
develops,
studies
have
shown
that
the
latinx
community
and
people
of
color
are
disproportionately
affected
by
nearly
every
metric.
Our
community
is
more
likely
to
work
in
industries
experiencing
chronic
workforce
shortages.
Just
in
the
twin
cities.
25
percent
of
latinx
frontline
workers
are
employed
in
cleaning
and
waste
management
positions.
O
O
The
second
slide
focuses
on
how
the
pandemic
has
also
further
highlighted
the
essential
role
of
our
latinx
workers
in
our
economy
and
their
vulnerability
to
job
loss
and
to
health
risks
associated
with
low
rates
of
health
insurance.
O
The
neighborhood
of
ventura
village
has
had
the
highest
per
capita
rate
of
covert
19
cases.
A
high
proportion
of
those
cases
are
latino
cases
and,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
gopal
does
have
a
navigator's
hotline
and,
through
this
hotline
is
where
we
we
did
learn
a
little
bit
more
about
our
community's
need
for
economic
support
in
2020,
nearly
15
of
all
of
the
calls
received
were
to
assist
in
applying
for
unemployment
benefits,
as
well
as
finding
support
for
workers
in
unsafe
workplaces
and
victims
of
wage
theft
as
well.
O
O
C
Thank
you
so
much
mrs
ortiz,
ms
rivera.
E
P
You
michelle,
oh
thank
you.
Thank
you,
michelle
and
council.
Vice
president
jenkins,
my
name
is
grace
waltz.
I
am
the
vice
president
of
public
policy
at
the
minneapolis
regional
chamber
in
september,
2020,
the
minneapolis
regional
chamber
and
partnership
with
the
city
of
minneapolis,
applied
for
and
was
awarded
the
gateways
for
growth
challenge,
grant,
making
us
one
of
only
19
communities
chosen
for
this
opportunity.
P
Koban
19,
the
killing
of
george
floyd
and
the
ensuing
civil
unrest
has
highlighted
the
need
to
ensure
that
immigrant
refugee
and
new
american
communities
are
engaged
at
the
outset
of
community
outreach
initiatives.
As
the
city
builds
its
economic
recovery
efforts,
a
multi-sector
strategic
plan
is
vital
to
ensure
immigrant
communities.
P
American
community
needs
are
understood
resourced
and
the
cities
and
chambers
robust
relationship
relationships
offer
a
strong
grounding
for
the
development
of
a
multi-year
initiative
to
strengthen
municipal
planning
that
is
inclusive
of
the
important
contributions
of
immigrant
refugee
in
new
american
communities.
Gateways
for
girls
support
will
bolster
existing
infrastructure
within
the
city
and
partner
organizations
and
support
current
municipal
efforts
to
rebuild
in
a
way
that
is
equitable.
P
In
the
coming
weeks,
we
will
begin
hosting
community
discussions
to
help
guide
the
direction
of
this
project
and,
finally,
over
the
next
several
months,
the
minneapolis
regional
chamber
plans
to
commit
time
and
resources
to
the
development
of
a
new
american
business
center,
which
we
hope
to
stand
up
sometime
this
summer.
As
we
enter
a
period
of
economic
recovery,
we
feel
there's
never
been
a
better
or
more
important
time
to
be
making
investments
in
new
american
businesses.
P
We
know
immigrants
start
businesses
at
a
three
to
one
ratio
and
we
hope
this
place.
This
will
be
a
place
to
aggregate
resources
and
spur
income
and
job
creation.
The
minneapolis
regional
chamber
is
honored
to
play
a
small
role
in
this
work
and
we
are
grateful
to
our
city
partners
for
their
collaboration.
C
E
Thank
you
vice
president
jenkins.
So,
just
to
summarize,
I
am
so
grateful
for
the
opportunity
to
present
this
information
and
invite
these
speakers
to
participate
in
this
presentation
today.
Us
a
quick
summary
of
community
priorities
for
2021,
just
as
a
recap,
robust
city
support
for
federal
immigration
reform
initiatives,
as
well
as
state
initiatives
that
demonstrate
a
respect
for
human
dignity
and
dignity
of
the
people
who
come
to
this
country,
a
recognition
that
migration
is
a
natural
human
endeavor
and
that
our
communities
are
stronger.
E
When
we
have
inclusion
policies
at
the
federal
state
and
municipal
level
that
promote
health
safety
and
welfare,
a
consideration
of
immigration
developments
coming
out
daily,
ensuring
that
our
qualifying
residents,
whether
it's
venezuelans,
who
qualify
for
temporary,
protected
status
or
liberians
eligible
for
deferred,
enforced
departure
or
permanent
residents,
can
take
advantage
of
the
opportunities
to
obtain
more
secure
status
through
robust
support
of
access
to
council
and
support
in
paying
immigration
filing
fees.
A
focus
on
culturally
appropriate
and
trauma-informed
mental
health
support
services.
E
Also,
the
importance
of
creating
a
safe
space
and
community
has
been
highlighted
today.
Our
communities
need
safe
spaces
to
access
information.
The
creation
of
a
hubbing
community,
where
people
can
obtain
information
in
a
holistic
way,
including
on
immigration
and
other
topics,
is
valuable.
Finally,
it's
worthwhile
to
conduct
an
internal
inventory
of
our
own
policies
and
procedures,
a
very
few
of
which
have
been
highlighted
during
this
presentation,
as
this
helps
us
as
an
enterprise
strengthen
our
own
knowledge
of
our
strengths
and
identify
where
opportunities
exist.
E
I
look
forward
to
working
with
council
and
across
the
city,
enterprise
and
inclusion
initiatives
that
increase
equity
and
security,
including
within
immigrant
refugee
and
new
american
communities.
Next
slide,
please
thank
you
very
much
for
the
opportunity
to
present
today.
This
concludes
my
presentation
and
I'm
ready
to
address
questions,
and
I
believe
that
some
of
our
speakers
are
available
to
answer
questions
too.
C
Thank
you
so
much
ms
robero
for
that
very
robust
and
detailed
report
and
the
inclusion
of
the
community
members
and
and.
C
Congresswoman
omar
really
brought
this
presentation
alive.
Councilman
ricano.
L
Madam
chair,
if
if
there
are
no
other
questions
or
comments
from
council
members,
I'm
not
sure,
but
you
know
we
do
have
two
items
that
we
would
like
to
bring
forward
to
take
a
vote
on
in
relation
to
this
presentation.
So
if
we're
ready
for
that
step
now
before
moving
moving
on
from
the
staff
presentation,
then
I
would
then
I
would
like
to
make
that
motion.
But
but
I
look
to
you
to
see
if
there's
anybody
else
in
queue
or
if
we
can
go
ahead
and
make
the
motion.
C
Thank
you
councilmember,
I'm
not
seeing
any
other
comments
or
questions.
So
please
move
your
resolution.
L
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
just
in
the
interest
of
time,
I'm
curious
if
we
could
maybe
take
up
a
motion
with
the
two
action
items
together,
so
there's
a
resolution
that
we
would
like
to
have
the
council
review
and
consider
approval
of.
L
We
also
have
a
staff
direction
so,
if
possible,
I
would
like
to
make
a
motion
to
bring
both
of
those
items
forward
together
as
one
vote
and
of
course
we
would
like
to
read
the
items
to
the
public
and
hope
that
the
city
clerk
can
also
display
these
items
on
the
on
the
screen,
so
that
that
would
be
my
motion.
C
Thank
you
so
much
so
there
is
a
motion
on
the
floor.
K
C
L
So,
council,
member
jenkins,
I
would
like
to
take
the
opportunity
to
read
the
two
items
that
we
have
brought
forward
to
a
vote.
So
if,
if
myself
and
councilmember,
osman
and
councilman
ellison
can
be
ready
to
share
the
reading
of
these
items
as
they're
a
bit
lengthy,
not
not
too
much
but
just
wanted
to
make
sure
we
we
got
it
all
covered.
L
So
I
can
go
ahead
and
read
the
first
half
of
the
resolution
and
then
I
can
hand
over
the
second
half
of
the
resolution
to
councilmember
member
osman
and
then,
if
council,
member
ellison
would
take
up
the
reading
of
the
staff
direction
and
happy
to
to
make
changes
here
on
the
floor.
If,
if
need
be
so
I'll,
go
ahead
and
start
with
the
the
first
half,
and
so
this
is
a
resolution
being
brought
forward
by
council
member
myself,
council
member
ellison,
council
member
osman
and
councilmember
jenkins.
L
You
are
also
a
co-author
of
this,
so
if
you
would
like
to
share
in
on
the
reading,
please
let
me
know
so
we'll
start
with
the
first
opening
sentence.
L
And
whereas
the
city
of
minneapolis
affirms
that
immigration
and
migration
are
natural.
Human
endeavors
practiced
by
people
across
the
world
for
centuries
and
in
recent
time,
has
been
the
outcome
of
climate
change.
As
such,
we
believe
that
american
immigration
policies
must
reflect
the
values
of
dignity
and
safety
for
all,
whereas
the
city
of
minneapolis
has
shown
a
deep
commitment
to
securing
the
well-being
of
our
immigrant
refugee
and
new
american
communities
in
recognition
of
their
human
rights
and
with
intent
of
reaching
our
city's
racial
justice
and
racial
equity
goals.
L
And
whereas
the
city
of
minneapolis
highlights
common
racial
justice
struggles
with
the
african-american
community.
In
that
the
criminal
justice
system
results
in
the
over-representation
of
afro-descent
immigrants
incarcerated
in
the
american
immigration,
detention
and
enforcement
system.
And
now
I
will
hand
it
over
to
council
member
osman.
K
Thank
you,
councilmember,
and
whereas
the
city
of
minneapolis
commands
the
biden
administration
for
initiating
the
process
of
creating
the
anti-immigrant
policies
of
the
former
of
administration,
including
attempt
immediate
monetarium
of
interpretation
from
the
united
states
and
inhumane
policies
that
have
resulted
in
the
generational
trauma.
Emotional
abuse,
child
abuse,
sexual
violence,
physical
injury,
exposure
to
covet
19
transition,
transmission,
fear
of
accessing
government
safety
system,
labor
exploitation,
human
trafficking,
force,
separation
of
families,
unjust
deportations
and
racially
motivated
hate
crimes,
killing
of
hundreds
of
mexican
and
latino
descent.
K
F
F
Now,
therefore,
be
it
resolved
by
the
city
council
of
the
city
of
minneapolis
that
the
city
of
minneapolis
supports
president
joe
biden's
new
executive
orders,
presidential
proclamations
and
additional
federal
actions
implemented
beginning
on
january
20,
20
2021,
to
welcome
our
immigrant
refugee
and
new
american
neighbors
by
upholding
human
rights
through
policy
and
approving
legislation.
That
provides
a
clear
and
direct
path
to
united
states.
Citizenship
that
the
minneapolis
city
council
urges
president
joe
biden
and
the
u.s
congress
to
act
expediently
and
boldly
to
immediately
halt
family
separations.
F
To
stop
the
captivity
of
migrant
children
in
mass
detention
centers
and
to
end
unfair
deportations
and
senseless
raids
that
the
city
of
minneapolis
commits
to
strengthening
and
expanding
the
assistance
we
lend
to
our
new
american
residents.
So
they
can
quickly
understand
and
effectively
integrate
with
our
modernization
of
our
country's
immigration
policies.
F
That
the
city
that
the
minneapolis
city
council
invites
our
park
board
county
state
and
federal
representatives
and
every
resident
in
the
city
of
minneapolis
to
join
us
in
undoing
the
harms
experienced
by
our
new
american
families
and
to
work
actively
every
day
to
repair
these
harms
and
warmly
welcome
and
deeply
support.
The
immigrant
and
refugee
residents
who
have
made
minneapolis
home
that
this
that
the
city
clerk
shall
transmit
a
copy
of
this
resolution
to
the
minneapolis
congressional
delegation.
C
F
C
Councilman
ellison:
can
we
just
we're
trying
to
see
if
we
can
get
the
actual
staff
direction
to
be
shown
on
screen,
and
I
apologize
sincerely
for
interrupting
you,
but
do
we
have.
B
F
I'm
currently
looking
at
it
on
limbs,
so
I'm
not
sure
I
know
we.
Q
This
is
ken
daler
from
the
clerk's
office.
I
will
put
a
copy
in
microsoft,
word
really
quick
and
send
it
to
the
tech
team,
so
they
can
display
it.
So
give
us
just
a
moment.
L
C
Thank
you
both
so
councilmember
ellison.
As
soon
as
we
get
it
up
on
this
screen,
then
you
can

through
it
again.

apologies

worries

department
and
other

divisions.
F
F

grants
laws,
budgets
as
well
as
commissions,

our
agenda
is
an
update
from
the
transgender
equity
council.
C
C
I
do
apologize
for
the
the
lengthy
wait,
but
I'm
glad
you're
still
in
the
line
to
present.
Thank
you.

Hello,
everyone,
my
name
is
kenzie,
I
use
they
them
pronouns,
and
I
am
one
of
the
co-chairs
for
the
trans
equity
council.
S
T
T
I
am
the
transgender
equity
council
co-chair,
my
pronouns.
Are
he
they
in
him
and
in
my
professional
life
I
am
an
instructor
for
linguistics
and
I'm
also
a
strong
advocate
in
the
transgender
community.
Thank
you
for
letting
me
be
here
today,
so
we
will
go
ahead
and
start
our
powerpoint
next
slide,
please.
T
T
Our
recommendations,
and
again
I
just
would
like
to
emphasize.
We
hope
that
you
are
able
to
take
action
on
these
items
at
this
time
at
this
time
now
our
recommendations
encompass
housing,
safety
and
healing
training,
restrooms
and
the
general
role
of
this
of
city
appointed
boards
next
slide.
Please.
S
Actually,
if
we
could
get
this
slide
before
that,
thank
you
so
we'll
start
with
housing,
as
we
know
that
many
trans
and
gender
non-conforming
community
members
have
been
dealing
with
unsafe
housing
and
homelessness
since
long
before
the
pandemic,
and
that
has
only
worsened
living
conditions
with
regards
to
housing.
We,
the
tec,
recommend
the
following.
S
S
S
The
city
council,
as
recommended
initially
by
the
minneapolis
advisory
committee
on
housing,
prioritize,
creating
and
preserving
deeply
affordable
housing.
The
city
council
take
legislative
action
to
require
that
program.
Managers
for
relevant
contracts
in
community
planning
and
economic
development,
health
and
other
related
departments
incorporate
trans
equity
requirements
and
their
future
requests
for
proposals.
S
R
Give
us
one
moment
we're
having
one
difficulty
with
folks
getting
the
unmuted
and
we'll
be
back
in
one.
R
R
B
B
V
B
U
Okay,
one
moment
please
hunter
will
go
ahead
and
continue.
U
Okay,
here
we
go
trying
this
again:
apologies
for
the
tech
issues
with
the
interpreters
here,
so
the
second
category
that
we
will
be
focusing
on
is
our
recommendations
that
are
related
to
safety
and
healing,
and
this
concept
is,
the
concept
of
safety
is
deeply
deeply
connected
to
housing,
and
so
many
other
resources.
U
U
U
U
We
recommend
that
the
city
council
comm,
teaches
roles
of
communication
for
effective
communication
with
the
trans
and
gender
non-conforming
community
gender
neutral
communication,
not
assuming
pronouns,
and
making
sure
that
that
terms
used
in
public
spaces
are
neutral.
U
U
U
S
With
regards
to
training,
we
recommend
the
following:
the
city
council
support
initiatives
and
propose
legislation
to
formalize
trans
equity
training
and
inclusion
requirements
in
relevant
grants.
Currently,
the
trans
issues,
work
group
and
trans
equity
council
are
working
on
integrating
this
into
contracts,
with
interpreters
and
translators,
shelters,
street
outreach
providers
and
other
relevant
social
service
providers.
S
City
council
ensure
that
the
new
homeless
outreach
staff
in
the
health
department
and
new
mental
health
crisis
response
staff
receive
sufficient
cultural
competency
training,
including
training
in
trans
and
gender,
non-conforming
competency
and
trauma-informed
practices
as
part
of
their
orientation
until
the
city
has
a
gender
inclusivity.
101
training
to
offer
again
supervisors
for
these
new
staff
should
be
responsible
for
connecting
them
to
resources
and
can
lean
on
the
tec
for
support
as
needed.
As
this
training
should
be
developed
with
community
feedback.
S
The
gender
inclusivity,
101
training
should
have
increased
advertisement
and
or
be
required
for
all
city
staff
to
help
create
a
more
inclusive
environment.
Currently,
the
training
is
not
required,
but
the
support
of
council
could
help
push
it
to
be
required
for
all
the
gender
inclusivity.
201
training
should
be
added
to
the
required
training
and
would
be
taken
after
the
101
class.
That
would
dive
deeper
into
making
a
more
trans-friendly
working
place,
how
to
create
change
in
your
own
department
and
how
to
be
a
better
ally.
S
The
city
council
instruct
human
resources
to
distribute
the
survey
on
trans
equity
in
the
workplace
that
was
finalized
in
february
2020..
The
data
from
the
survey
would
inform
work
groups
that
could
address
inequities
within
our
workplace
environment.
This
survey
could
allow
us
to
make
changes
to
every
office
depending
on
what
the
survey.
S
U
U
U
S
And
finally,
with
regard
to
the
role
of
appointed
boards
in
the
city
of
minneapolis,
we
recommend
city
departments
should
continue
to
use
the
tec
and
other
appointment
boards
and
commissions
as
a
resource
and
consult
us
on
policy
and
engagement,
work.
The
city
council
direct
the
clerk's
office
to
develop
a
directory
list
serve
or
other
infrastructure,
obviously,
in
compliance
with
open
meeting
law
that
would
support
members
of
different
abc's
in
collaborating
with
each
other
and
more
easily
sharing
feedback.
U
C
I
want
to
thank
you
both
for
that
presentation,
but
the
entire
tec
for
those
recommendations
and
update
on
on
your
efforts.
I
really
appreciate
the
broad
thinking
and
and
the
intersectionality
that
that
this
body
continues
to
to
point
out,
identify
and
advocate
for.
Are
there
any
questions
or
comments
from
my
colleagues.
W
Thank
you,
madam
vice
president.
I
I
do
hope
that
my
colleagues,
my
my
cisgender
colleagues,
were
present
enough
to
be
able
to
hear
these
recommendations.
W
I
want
to
make
sure
that
it's
not
just
the
trans
folks
who
are
carrying
the
trans
equity
work,
but
I
do
want
to
make
sure
to
say
thank
you
to
the
wonderful
leadership
of
the
trans
equity
council
of
track.
We
are
very
fortunate
to
have
a
mechanism
institutionalized
within
the
city
that
has
made
sure
that
we
have
the
voice
of
trans
and
gender
non-conforming
folks
built
into
our
cities
decision
making
process.
W
I
think
that
these
are
really
clear,
actionable
recommendations
that
align
with
many
of
us
on
the
council
lines.
What
aligns
with
our
values.
W
This
is
why
these
boards
and
commissions
exist
are
to
be
able
to
give
us
guidance
based
on
the
feedback
perspective
and
lived
experience
of
different
marginalized
communities
or
expertise,
and
so
so
thank
you
to
the
leaders
who
are
a
part
of
the
trans
equity
council
and
thank
you
to
to
track
for,
for
this
really
amazing
work
that
you
all
are
doing
and
continuing
to
continuing
to
grow.
W
I
think
that
you
know
we
are
fortunate,
if
I
do
say
so
myself
as
a
city
to
not
have
one
but
two
trans
folks
elected
to
the
city
council.
We
are
the
only
place
in
the
world
that
actually
has
a
transgender
caucus,
meaning
that
there's
more
than
one
of
us,
it
happened
here,
that's
pretty
cool
and
also
at
the
same
time
that's
not
gonna
be
forever.
W
Hopefully
we
will
continue
to
have
trans
and
gender
non-conforming
representation
on
the
city
council,
but
it
really
should
not
be
up
to
us
to
ensure
that
trans
and
gender
non-conforming
residents
in
our
city
have
their
rights
protected
to
make
sure
that
their
needs
are
met,
that
that
analysis
is
being
included
in
the
work.
So
I
just
wanted
to
add
that
and
and
express
my
gratitude
for
these
recommendations.
C
Thank
you,
councilmember
cunningham,
I'm
just
going
to
take
a
moment
of
care
privilege
and
say
I'm
really
grooving
on
your
haircut
there.
It's
pretty
awesome
council
member,
gordon.
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
I
second
philippe's
our
councilmember
cunningham's
haircut
looks
pretty
fantastic.
I
I
also
just
want
to
thank
the
trans
equity
council.
I
had
the
opportunity
to
to
have
a
a
pretty
in-depth
meeting
and,
and
and
it
was
just
grateful
for
the
perspective
and
grateful
for
these
recommendations.
F
My
question
is,
you
know,
knowing
that
some
of
these
issues
are
things
that
the
council
can
take
up
right
away.
Some
of
these
things,
even
if
they're
taken
up
right
away,
will
take,
could
take
a
long
time
to
to
accomplish.
I
want
to
know
you
know
what
can
members
of
the
city
council
be
doing
to
be
accountable
to
you
all
who
are
taking
the
time
to
give
us
these
recommendations
and
to
dive
into
these
issues?
F
What
are
some
things
that
we
can
do
to
demonstrate
that
we're
that
we're
hearing
you
and
that
we're
accountable
to
you
and
so
not
on
you
to
guide
us
in
that
way,
but
but
would
love
some
of
your.
C
Track
either
you
or
our
presenters
hunter
or.
U
You
know
this
has
been
a
long
process
and
there
has
been
work,
but
it
doesn't
seem
like
there's
a
ton
of
action,
and
this
is
something
you
don't
want
to
just
shove.
This
issue,
under
the
rug
equity
inequality,
is
important.
U
You
know
we
have
worked
many
hours
on
this.
We
do
this
day
and
night.
You
know
for
ourselves
and
for
other
individuals,
especially
now
with
focus
on
our
black
trans
women
and
trans
community
members
that
are
experiencing.
U
Homelessness,
so
thank
you
for
your
time
and
I
will
go
ahead
and
pass
this
on
to
track
to
make
comments.
R
Thank
you
for
that
hunter,
and
thank
you
for
that
question.
Councilmember
ellison.
I
think
the
only
additional
piece
I
will
say
is
that
the
tec,
in
monthly
meetings,
is
going
regularly
back
through
these
recommendations
to
see
where
the
various
pieces
are
moving,
including
the
ones
that,
as
you
said,
are
more
long-term
projects,
and
so,
as
council
members
are
able
to
update
the
tec-
and
I
am
happy
to
receive
those
updates
and
pass
them
on
about
which
of
these
recommendations.
R
They
are
able
to
move
on
within
their
office
and
the
progress
that
has
been
made.
That
is
probably
the
best
way
for
the
tec,
to
then
review
at
monthly
meetings
and
connect
with
your
offices
as
necessary
about
the
recommendations
that
you're
moving.
C
Forward,
I
don't
see
any
other
questions
or
comments
from
my
colleagues.
Once
again.
I
I
just
want
to
thank
you
track
for
your
dedication
and
commitment
to
this
community
to
the
city
council,
to
the
city
of
minneapolis,
more
broadly
and
as
well
as
the
members
of
the
tec
for
continuing
to
show
up
and
and
provide
and
serve.
C
The
city
council,
with
these
recommendations
and
to
help
us
show
support
for
our
transgender
and
gender
non-conforming
gender.
Fluid
communities
really
appreciate
your
efforts.
We
certainly
take
all
recommendations
from
our
boards
and
commissions
seriously
and
try
to
incorporate
them
them
all,
certainly
recognize
the
the
urgency
and
the
importance
of
these
issues,
as
well
as
just
so
many
other
challenging
issues
that
are
facing
the
city
of
minneapolis,
and
so
once
again,
I
really
think
that
your
focus
on
intersectionality
is
really
important.
C
I
I
I
know,
I'm
not
sure
if
I
saw
in
the
recommendations,
but
any
any
recommendations
around
covet
19,
but
I
know
I
have
been
personally
advocating
for
for
dedic
data
collection
for
the
broader,
lgbt
qia
plus
community.
C
That
certainly
includes
transgender
non-conforming
people,
as
well
as
testing
opportunities
and
vaccinations
for
those
communities.
So
I
wanted
to
just
note
that,
and
if
there
are
no
other
questions
or
comments
from
my
colleagues,
I
will
direct
the
clerk
to
file
and
receive
that
report.
Thank
you
so
much
track
and
the
co-chairs
of
tec.
C
Item
number
13
on
our
agenda
is
the
2021
assessment
report.
That
report
will
be
given
by
rebecca
montquis
and
before
I
invite
ms
mamquis
to
give
that
presentation.
I
do
just
want
to
note
that,
because
of
the
length
of
our
meeting,
some
council
members
have
had
to
to
leave
council
member
goodman
had
a
another
appointment,
and
I
believe
that
very
shortly
council
president
bender
and
councilmember
fletcher
will
also
leave
for
another
meeting
related
to
city
business.
X
Thank
you
to
our
staff,
particularly
our
cbd
and
it
teams
for
their
contributions
to
this
report.
I
would
like
to
note
that
we
have
members
of
our
leadership
team
on
the
call
for
additional
questions:
nancy
wojcik,
our
manager
of
assessment
services,
brian
keyser,
chief
appraiser
and
then
brian
messer
and
tim
alvin
appraisal.
Supervisors.
X
X
X
It
is
important
to
remind
everyone
that
the
2021
assessed
or
estimated
market
values
are
used
to
calculate
the
2022
property
taxes
we
value
in
one
year.
The
budget
and
levy
are
set,
and
then
taxes
are
calculated
payable
the
following
year.
We
know
this
can
be
confusing,
because
property
tax
statements
are
mailed
at
approximately
the
same
time
as
value
notices.
X
The
payable
2021
property
tax
statements
that
property
owners
just
received
were
calculated
using
the
2020
assessed
value.
Another
important
reminder
is
that
the
data
we
use
to
set
the
annual
assessment
is
dictated
by
the
state
for
the
january
2nd
2021
assessment.
We
analyze
sales
that
occur
between
october
2019
and
september
2020
assessors
act
as
historians.
Looking
back
at
what
market
activity
happened,
and
then
we
established
the
assessment.
X
X
X
X
Since
2013.,
you
can
see
that
the
residential
and
apartment
values
increased
as
a
proportion
of
the
total
value
and
that
the
commercial
industrial
decreased
as
a
percentage
it
isn't
indicated
here.
However,
I
did
want
to
mention
that
there
was
more
than
1.2
billion
dollars
in
new
construction
added
in
2021.
X
A
very
simplistic
explanation
of
how
values
translate
to
taxes
is
the
assessor
assessor's
office
determines
the
estimated
market
value.
Then
exclusions
are
deducted
from
the
estimated
market
value
to
calculate
a
taxable
value.
The
most
common
exclusion
is
the
homestead
exclusion,
one
of
more
than
the
state's
40
classification
rates
are
applied
to
the
taxable
market
value
and
then
all
the
taxing
authority
tax
rates
are
applied
to
the
tax
capacity
or
referendum
market
value
to
calculate
the
tax,
because
the
classification
rate
for
property,
commercial
properties
is
higher
than
the
classification
rate
for
residential
and
apartment.
X
X
You
can
see
here
that
resident
residential
values
on
the
left
comprise
nearly
60
percent
of
the
total
city
emv.
However,
when
class
rates
are
applied,
the
residential
portion
of
tax
capacity
decreases
to
just
under
50
percent.
This
is
a
shift.
There
is
also
a
shift
in
the
commercial
from
20
to
31
percent
because
of
the
higher
class
rate.
X
An
explanation
of
this
can
be
found
in
our
video
on
the
city's
youtube
page,
or
you
can
tune
into
the
presentation
that
we're
going
to
give
at
the
board
of
estimate
and
taxation
in
april,
where
we
will
explain
how
property
tax
values
become
your
property
values
become
your
property
tax,
a
play
on
how
a
bill
becomes
a
law
for
those
of
you
that
remember
the
1976
schoolhouse
rocks
kit,
I'm
just
a
bill.
Maybe
we
will
title
our
presentation,
I'm
just
a
value
next
slide.
X
Please
this
slide
is
the
distribution
of
estimated
market
value
by
ward.
It's
broken
down
again
into
the
three
major
property
type
categories.
There
is
also
a
percentage
at
the
top
of
each
bar.
That
represents
the
change
from
last
year.
All
awards
saw
an
increase
with
the
exception
of
ward
7,
which
can
be
explained
by
the
large
amount
of
commercial
valuation
in
the
ward
and
the
dis
decrease
in
the
values
for
commercial
properties.
X
Well,
I
know
council
member
goodman
isn't
here.
I
would
really
enjoy
being
able
to
meet
with
her
to
talk
more
about
the
changes
in
a
one-on-one
meeting
to
explain
what's
going
on
there
next
slide,
please
this
slide
focuses
on
our
residential
properties,
breaking
and
breaking
down
the
data
into
condominium,
townhome,
duplex,
triplex
and
then
single
family
categories.
X
X
This
is
a
historical
look
at
the
required
statistical
measures
that
our
assessment
is
judged
for
both
accuracy
and
equity.
The
requirements
are
mandated
by
the
state
based
on
the
international
association
of
assessing
officers
standard
on
ratio
studies.
This
data
represents
the
residential
market.
The
first
measurement
is
the
sales
ratio
column,
which
is
the
third
column.
X
It
is
a
measure
of
the
level
of
assessment.
It
compares
the
estimated
market
value
to
the
sale
price
of
a
property.
We
use
the
median
of
the
4990
sales
as
a
measure
of
central
tendency.
An
acceptable
median
ratio
is
between
90
to
105
percent
cons
consistent
with
surrounding
jurisdictions
jurisdictions.
Excuse
me,
we
typically
aim
for
a
median
of
95
percent.
We
don't
want
there
to
be
a
significant
difference
in
level
of
assessment
with
other
jurisdictions
in
the
area.
For
example,
we
don't
want
homes
valued
at
a
90
percent
median
surrounding
suburbs
or
cities.
X
So
we
do
have
conversations
across
the
city
borders
to
ensure
consistency.
Our
assessment
does
meet
this
requirement.
The
second
measure
is
the
coefficient
of
dispersion.
It
measures
the
uniformity
of
our
assessment.
It
essentially
measures
how
far
away
the
other
ratios
are
from
that
95.7
percent.
An
acceptable
range
for
residential
properties
is
less
than
fifteen
percent.
I'm
really
focusing
on
the
slide
to
call
of
the
improvement
in
the
rcod.
X
Historically,
it
has
been
a
focus
for
our
team
for
sure
for
several
years.
I
now
I
know
that
it
was
a
focus
of
mine
specifically
since
I
joined
the
city
in
2014.
Also
the
department
of
revenue
indicated.
This
is
something
that
they
are
watching.
They
indicated
that
a
few
years
ago,
and
they
do
continue
to
watch
it.
X
The
last
measure,
the
price
related
differential
or
prd,
is
important
as
well.
It
does
measure
the
vertical
equity
of
our
assessment,
so
when
low
value
properties
are
valued
at
a
greater
percentage
than
of
market
value
than
high
value
properties,
the
assessment
is
considered
regressive
when
low-valued
properties
are
valued
at
a
lower
percentage
than
high-value
properties,
the
assessment
is
considered.
Progressive
assessments
for
tax
purposes
should
be
neither
progressive
or
regressive.
X
X
X
X
The
last
few
years
most
of
the
residential
values
had
to
be
trended
by
neighborhood
by
size,
quality,
condition
or
other
characteristics
which
isn't
the
most
effective
way
to
determine
market
values,
especially
for
a
city
of
our
size.
With
the
diverse
and
complex
housing
stock.
It
does
not
capture
all
of
the
market
indicators.
X
X
X
X
X
C
Before
you
proceed,
that
last
slide
was:
does
that
incorporate
residential
and
commercial
properties,
or
only
residential,
or
I
guess
it
says,
residential
by
board
on
top?
Thank
you.
X
Yes,
thank
you.
This
data
comes
from
the
north
star,
multiple
listing
service.
We
do
use
this
as
a
validation,
if
you
will
to
make
sure
our
direction
and
level
of
assessment
is
matching
what
they're
seeing
in
the
market,
so
they're
reporting
a
median
sale
price
of
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
as
well.
X
X
Our
team
annually
surveys
commercial
market
participants
around
the
first
of
the
year,
and
this
year
we
heard
from
more
participants
than
we
have
in
the
past.
The
concerns
about
the
minneapolis
market
fall
into
three
buckets:
coven
unrest
and
safety,
and
then
utilization
covet
is
impacting
all
markets
in
all
cities.
X
X
X
X
So
when
comparing
the
minneapolis
market
to
other
markets
using
revpar
and
revpar
is
simply
the
average
daily
rate
times
occupancy,
this
is
a
unit
of
comparison
used
in
valuing
hotel
properties.
Minneapolis
has
the
lowest
to
date,
revpar
and
also
saw
the
greatest
change
or
decrease
since
last
year.
I
believe
traditionally
we
were
around
the
70
in
the
70s
as
far
as
our
rev
bar,
so
minneapolis
is,
I
believe,
it's
quoted
to
be
in
the
bottom
10
hotel
markets
right
now.
C
And
is
that
how
we
assess
all
commercial
property.
C
Yeah,
I'm
I'm
just
I'm
a
little
concerned.
I
have
a
a
building
in
in
ward
8
that
has
seen
somewhere
upwards
of
a
hundred
and
ninety
five
percent
increase
in
their
taxes
is
it's
probably
higher
than
that,
and
their
occupancy
rate
is
probably
at
the
lowest
level.
It's
been
since
the
1980s.
C
You
know
I
am,
I
am
it's
their
20-21
property
taxes,
so
I
guess
it's
based
on
the
2020
assessment.
X
X
X
X
The
notice
is
our
colored
purple
this
year
to
coordinate
with
henna
the
hennepin
county
initiative
to
align
value
notices,
colors
with
tax
statements
colors
to
assist
in
property
owner
education,
so
property
owners
have
questions
or
concerns
regarding
their
value.
They
should
contact
the
appraiser
listed
on
the
back
of
their
notice.
X
X
X
It
went
live
on
the
youtube
page
today
and
it
will
be
circulating
through
the
city's
social
media
platforms
and
will
be
on
the
website
just
kudos
to
the
communications
team
for
working
with
us
to
develop
this
really
creative
and
simple
way
to
explain
the
appeals
process.
So
thank
you
to
them
next
slide.
X
X
They
weren't
tracked
in
2020,
the
assigned
classification
rate
was
commercial
and
which
is
a
higher
classification
rate
and
then
in
2021
it
was
classified
as
residential
miscellaneous
and,
I
believe,
that's
a
1.25
class
rate
comparable
to
a
non-homestead
class
rate.
Next
slide.
Please,
this
slide
quantifies
the
properties
with
a
short-term
rental
license
the
number
we
surveyed
to
gather
more
information
about
the
property
use
and
then
the
number
we
actually
classified
as
short-term
rental
in
2020
and
for
the
january
2nd
2021
assessment
in
2020.
X
We
there
were
146
rental
licenses
of
those
58
where
homestead
we
surveyed
all
146,
though,
because
it
was
the
first
year
73
responded.
We
ended
up
classifying
45
of
those
as
short-term
rental.
However,
then
we
began
to
hear
from
people
when
they
received
their
value
notice
or
their
tax
statements
or
proposed
tax
statements,
and
we
had
conversations
with
them
collected
more
information
and
we
ended
up
only
having
27
classified
as
this
class
4b1.
X
X
X
X
As
you
know,
we
settled
reimbursement
for
these
abatements
from
the
state
last
fall
and
the
reimbursements
were
granted.
All
of
the
taxing
authorities
altogether
were
reimbursed
just
over
1.6
million
dollars.
The
city
alone
was
reimbursed
just
over
six
hundred
and
sixty
thousand
dollars
next
slide.
Please
just
a
few
key
dates
here:
again:
value
notices,
hopefully
in
the
mail
around
march
18th
we
are
presenting
to
the
ncr,
led
neighborhood
association
meetings
on
march
23rd
and
24th
to
provide
some
market
information
and
education.
X
The
local
board
convenes
this
year
on
april
19th
and
we're
scheduled
to
reconvene
the
21st
and
23rd
and,
if
necessary,
we'll
hold
more
sessions
the
following
week.
We
are
doing
that
presentation
to
the
board
of
excellent
board
of
estimate
and
taxation
on
april
28th
and
then
the
hennepin
county
board
convenes
june
24th.
X
C
Ms
mom
quiz,
you
there's
a
little
bit
of
confliction
between
your
statement
and
the
last
slide
henderson
county.
The
slide
says
june
14th.
I
think
you
said
june
24th.
C
X
X
You
as
we
look
to
the
annual
quintile
revaluation
that
is
typically
be
completed
this
year.
As
you
know,
we
have
to
look
at
all
properties
at
least
every
once
every
five
years,
the
neighborhoods
in
purple
will
be
the
ones
that
we're
going
to
review
this
summer.
We
are
going
to
again
do
desktop
reviews
virtually
beginning
early
this
summer,
but
these
are
your
neighborhoods
that
will
be
contacted
by
us
and
that
we
will
be
doing
one-on-one.
X
Virtual
reviews
or
surveying
these
property
owners
to
collect
the
accurate
information,
and
that
concludes
our
report.
I
will
be
reaching
out
to
each
ward
office
specifically
to
hopefully
schedule
some
one-on-one
time
to
dive
deeper
into
your
award-specific
market
activity
and
hopefully
discuss
some
opportunities
for
outreach.
X
There
are
some
specific
portions
of
some
neighborhoods
or
developments
that
we
want
to
connect
with,
hopefully
before
they
receive
their
notices,
to
explain
some
of
the
changes
that
they'll
see
and
with
that.
Thank
you
again
for
your
time
and
a
huge
thanks
to
our
team
in
the
assessor's
office
for
compiling
this
report.
C
Thank
you
so
much
miss
monquist
for
that
presentation.
Colleagues,
are
there
any
questions
or
council
president
bender.
Y
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
know
it's
been
a
long
meeting.
I
didn't
just.
I
had
a
suggestion
which
I
think
could
be
great
for
follow
up
with
council
offices,
as
you
suggested,
which
is
you
know
this
map
that
shows
the
percent
changes
by
neighborhood.
Y
I
actually
think
some
historic
context
could
help
put
that
into
give
us
all
a
better
understanding
of
what
those
numbers
mean.
You
know
over
the
last
what
you
know
five
years
or
ten
years
just
so
we
can
see
you
know.
Y
I
know
there
were
some
parts
of
the
city
that
saw
very
large
increases
after
the
last
recession
and
that
sort
of
like
petered
out
where
other
parts
of
the
city
did
not
recover,
where
values
did
not
go
up
so
much
and
of
course,
now
we're
dipping
back
overall,
our
economy
is
being
dramatically
impacted
by
the
pandemic,
so
I
just
think
having
some
historic
context
to
those
numbers
could
help.
Y
X
C
Great
suggestion
other
comments.
C
All
right,
thank
you
once
again,
miss
mom
quiz
for
that
presentation
and
say
no
further
discussion.
I
will
ask
the
clerk
to
receive
and
file
that
report.
C
So
next
we
will
have
reports
of
our
standing
committees
on
matters
to
be
considered
by
the
full
council.
This
coming
friday,
we'll
start
with
the
business
inspections,
housing
and
zoning
committee,
and
I
suspect
that
report
will
be
given

the
vice
chair

a

passage

strategic
development
plans
and
I'll
stand
for
any
questions.
C
2837
chicago,
thank
you
so
much.
I
did
want
to
know
the
the
inclusion
of
the
38th
street
drive
small
area
plan
on
the
agenda
myself,
along
with
five
different
neighborhoods.
Hundreds
of
residents
have
been
working
to
develop
the
38th
street
thrive
plan
since
2018.
C
It
is
a
plan
that
seeks
to
bring
equity
and
racial
healing
home
ownership
opportunities,
highlight
the
history,
the
the
really
important
and
and
missing
history
of
the
38th
street
corridor,
and
we
know
that
there
are
so
many
parts
of
our
city
that
has
deep
and
and
lasting,
but
invisible,
african-american,
history
buried,
and
so
this
plant
hopes
to
bring
that
out.
It
is
somewhat
coincidental
but
very
much.
C
I
would
say
serendipitous
that
it
coincides
with
the
you
know:
the
un
unfortunate
murder
of
george
floyd
at
38th
in
chicago,
which
is
included
in
this
plan
and
and
so
subsequently,
the
plan,
while
we
had
really
like
I
mentioned,
worked
on
this
for
three
years.
C
We
actually
pulled
out
the
the
intersection
of
38th
and
chicago
and
that
intersection
will
undergo
its
own
plan,
specifically
for
that
intersection,
which
will
now
include
planning
around
the
memorial
and
and
other
physical,
as
well
as
financial
and
economic
development
plans,
specifically
for
that
intersection.
C
But
I
I
want
to
thank
the
committee
for
bringing
this
forward
and,
as
for
my
colleague,
support
and
passage
of
this
small
area
plan,
the
38th
street
thrive
plan
on
friday.
Thank
you
and
our
next
report.
If
there
are
no
questions
for
account,
no
other
questions
or
comments
for
council
members
trader,
our
next
report
will
be
the
public
health
and
safety

given
by
chair
cunningham.

Work

is
passage
of
an
ordinance
to
be
submitted
to
the
voters
at
the
november,
2nd
2021
municipal
election,
proposing
amendments

article

related

item
number-

is
requesting
the
minneapolis
police
department
to
provide
a
description
of
policy
and
procedure.
W
So
we
have
those
nine
items.
I
also
do
want
to.
Let
folks
know
both
my
colleagues
and
the
public
that
we
had
a
very
robust
series
of
presentations,
including
an
explanation,
a
a
a
brief.
I
guess
on
our
hospital-based
intervention,
violence,
intervention
strategy,
that
is,
that
was
funded
for
expansion
in
the
2021
budget.
We
had
a
national
organization
and
technical
assistance
provider
come
and
present.
W
So
I
highly
recommend
that,
as
well
as
a
very
brief
presentation
from
the
office
of
performance
and
innovation
about
the
mobile
mental
health
units,
rfp
that
was
released
so
there's
some
additional
information
about
what
that
is,
what
they're
looking
for
and
how
community-based
organizations
can
apply.
So
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
related
to
those
items.
C
Are
there
any
questions,
see
none?

C
Y
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
there's
just
one
item
from
the
executive
committee,
which
is
receiving
and
filing
an
appointment
of
canada's
fault,
the
civil
service
commission
seat
two
and
referring
to
this
committee,
that
appointment
for
the
setting
of
of
the
of
the
public
hearing
from
earlier
in
this
agenda.
Thank
you.
C
Thank
you,
council,
president
bender.
Are
there
any
questions?
Are
there
any
questions
before
we
adjourn
kelly's?
I
do
want
to
just
note
that
you
know
considering
the
the
length
of
the
agendas
of
this
body
and
the
fact
that
we've
had
to
cancel
or
postpone
a
number
of
presentations.
C
I
will
be
bringing
forward
a
item
of
there
will
be
an
item
of
new
business
coming
before
the
council
on
friday
related
to
our
committee
organizations.
C
In
response,
a
resolution
will
be
brought
forth
on
friday
to
reinstate
the
committee
of
the
whole
committee
of
the
whole
would
meet
on
thursday
mornings
prior
to
the
full
city
council
meeting
and
would
receive
presentations
which
are
not
within
the
jurisdiction
of
other
standing
committees
and
where
no
immediate
action
is
anticipated
or
required,
as
well
as
reports
from
all
standing
committees
about
matters
to
be
submitted
for
consideration
by
the
full
council,
so
that
potentially
we
can
avoid
scheduling,
meetings,
etc.
C
While
the
pogo
committee
is
is
going
on,
and
this
will
hopefully
eliminate
that
as
and
still
allow
us
to
make
all
of
our
public
to
the
to
the
full
body
as
well
as
the
the
public
council
member
council,
president
bender.
Y
Thanks,
madam
chair
yeah,
I
just
wanted
to
follow
up
on
that.
I
had
emailed
so
those
details
to
the
council
this
morning,
thanks
to
you,
cosmo
ellison
who's,
the
vice
chair
of
this
committee
and
then
would
be
chairing
the
new
committee
of
the
whole
I'll,
obviously
leave
it
to
you
all
to
decide,
but
that
would
provide
continuity
such
that
you
could
even
have
one
shared
agenda
setting
meeting
to
decide
which
items
make
the
most
sense
for
cat
for
cow
versus
what
might
need
action
at
pogo.
Y
I'd
also
know,
though,
that
this
committee
still
does
have
a
pretty
heavy
agenda,
and
so
I
think
council
members
should
be
encouraged
to
check
the
pogo
agenda
ahead
of
each
meeting.
I
think
I
think
the
shift
will
help
us
hear
publicly
some
of
these
receiving
file
reports
that
had
been
cancelled
or
postponed,
but
likely
many
of
these
pogo
meetings
will
still
be
pretty
extensive,
with
public
hearings
or
discussion
on
action
items.
Y
So,
thanks
to
you,
madam
chair,
for
for
continuing
to
share
this
this
committee,
that
has
a
really
heavy
workload
along
you
know.
All
of
our
council
committees
are
consolidated,
giving
the
chairs
a
really
significant
workload.
So,
thanks
to
all
of
you
who
are
doing
that
and
just
know,
you
know
for
the
council
members
that
this
change
should
help
with
some
of
the
longer
meetings.
Y
C
I
ditto,
and
I
absolutely
agree
that
the
the
pogo
agendas
will
remain
pretty
lengthy
for
the
foreseeable
future,
which
is
is,
is
what
prompted
this
this,
but
but
you're
absolutely
right.
There's
no
way
that
we
can
really
decrease
the
the
significant
amount
of
work
that
we
as
a
council
must
and
will
continue
to
do.
So.
With
that
hearing
no
objections,
I
will
declare
this
meeting
adjourn.
Thank
you.
Everyone
have
a
great
evening.
