15
is
the
upper
harbor
terminal,
coordinated
plan
and
item
16?
D
A
A
B
G
G
We
have
put
it
to
pretty
much
the
very
last
minute
because
we
wanted
to
give
that
much
space
and
now
we're
in
a
place
in
which
it
starts
to
bump
up
against
the
next
part
of
the
the
work,
which
is
the
development
terms
and
the
term
sheet.
So
this
actually
delaying
even
a
cycle
disrupts
that,
but
I
want,
I
believe
that
eric
hanson
is
on
the
call.
So
if,
if
it's
okay,
madam
president,
I
would
like
to
ask
if
mr
hansen
can
just
verify
that
particular
component.
B
H
Yeah
good
morning,
madam
president
and
members
of
the
city
council,
mayor
cancer,
I'm
the
city's
economic
development
director
and
to
council
members
councilmember
cunningham's
question
he's
right.
We
issued
the
draft
plan,
the
coordinated
plan,
that's
in
front
of
you
today,
last
december,
it
went
through
an
extensive
draft
process.
Community
engagement
review
did
a
few
reports
to
the
council,
one
in
february
a
deep
dive.
We
did
an
environmental
review
over
the
summer
and
then
a
presentation
again
on
at
the
the
most
recent
viz
committee
meeting
and
what
comes
after.
B
Thank
you
director.
I
put
myself
in
queue
to
comment.
I
I'm
not
on
the
on
the
committee,
which
discussed
this
in
more
detail
earlier
this
cycle,
but
I
did
have
a
chance
to
check
in
with
staff
and
and
the
council
members
from
the
committee
and
others,
and
you
know
from
what
I've
heard.
I
am
supportive
of
approving
this
today.
B
B
And
there's
many
always
many
many
different
ways
to
do
community
engagement
for
for
complicated
projects
like
this,
but
the
council
took
action.
We
appointed
a
group,
they
have
advised
staff
and
this
body,
and
so
while
I
usually
would
be
inclined
to
do
everything
we
can
to
get
to
unanimous
approval
on
things
and
to
give
folks
time
to
engage.
B
I
know
that
this
project
has
also
been
going
on
for
for
a
long
time
with
many
many
months
of
engagement
from
the
appointed
committee
members
and
members
of
the
community.
So
given
the
importance
of
the
timeline
and
the
investment
that
we've
had
in
this
project
from
our
legislature,
the
nature
of
this
project,
not
just
as
a
local
project
but
as
one
that
has
that
kind
of
statewide
support
and
impact,
I
am
supportive
of
approval
today.
Moving
forward
today,
councilmember
goodman.
D
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
also
want
to
thank
you
for
the
long
round,
robin
of
calls
you
had
to
deal
with
yesterday.
I
do
want
to
note
that
I
moved
the
committee's
agenda,
so
my
friend
councilmember
ellison's
motion
is
technically
a
substitute
and
it
requires
a
second
and
then
we
would
be
talking
about
that.
I
just
wanted
to
offer
that
point
of
procedural
privilege.
I
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
did
have
eric
hadson
forwarded
through
the
clerk.
I
believe
my
staff
direction,
which
of
course
in
no
way,
is
a
comment
on
the
development
project
or
the
content
they're,
and
this
is
just
something
that
the
mwmo
wants
to
ensure
that
the
work
that's
tied
in
with
the
integrated
and
regional
water
system,
which
is
very
well
matured
into
the
project
designed
to
date,
there's
some
other
sort
of
reach
goals
that
they're
still
exploring
that,
I
think,
would
be
beneficial
to
maximizing
that
infrastructure.
I
Again.
This
has
nothing
to
do
with
the
build
form
or
the
end
users
of
the
development
team
and
certainly
is
consistent
with
the
work
of
the
the
community
and
the
committees,
including
the
park
and
rec
one.
But
it's
a
good
clarification
for
for
a
funding
partner
to
know
that
that
work
that
they're,
investing
in
and
we
are
investing
in-
can
continue.
So
just
a
little
clarification
is
the
intent
of
this
staff
direction
and
it's
specifically
about
the
restorative
development
that
could
be
associated
with
the
very
advanced
water
system.
That's
already
mostly
designed.
B
Okay,
thank
you,
councilman
reich
has
a
motion
which
is
a
staff
direction
related
to
item
15,
which
is
the
upper
harbor
terminal
plan.
I
know
that
councilmember
reich
worked
together
with
cped
on
this
language
as
well
as
the
community
stakeholders
mentioned
sounds
like
the
clerk
is
working
on
distributing
it.
B
B
You
know,
I
think,
we're
okay
here
to
just
continue,
along
with
taking
up
the
items
related
to
item
15
and
then
approving
the
whole
agenda.
Certainly
we
we
could
have
pulled
it
at
the
beginning,
but
if
it
so
is
there
an
objection
to
continuing
here
with
item
15
and
then
going
back
to
the
underlying
agenda.
D
I
just
want
to
note:
I
have
not
seen
this.
No
one's
talked
to
me.
This
is
being
thrown
up
right
in
the
meeting.
I
really
I
mean
our
committee
runs
very
smoothly.
I
really
feel,
and
staff
didn't
reach
out
to
me
on
this.
No
one
did
I'm
sure
this
is
a
good
thing,
but
please
folks,
on
these
major
items.
Let's
try
to
get
our
act
together
in
advance
of
the
meeting.
This
is
embarrassing.
Quite
frankly,
I
councilman
reich.
Didn't
call
me.
D
No
one
called
me
about
this
and
I
haven't
heard
from
staff
either,
so
I
guess
I
would
need
to
know
why
we
would
have
to
do
this
right
now.
Wouldn't
it
simply
be
implied
that
we
would
be
working
with
these
organizations,
I'm
confused
as
to
why
we
have
to
direct
our
staff
to
do
the
right
thing.
I
would
assume
they
are
already
monitoring
evaluating
pursuing
feasible
opportunities
to
implement
learnings
from
the
restorative
development
feasibility
study.
B
J
Well,
I
had
some
of
the
same
questions
as
councilmember
goodman
did.
I
don't
have
answers
to
those.
It
actually
looks
like
we
could
refer
this
back
to
the
committee
and
we
could
hear
more.
I
see
that
councilmember
cunningham's
name's
on
it.
So
that
means
something
to
me
to
see
these
two
authors,
but
I'm
also
wondering
why
do
we
have
to
do
this
now
and
having
things
at
the
last
minute
like?
This
is
a
challenge
because
we
don't
really
have
a
chance
to
hear
from
other
organizations
or
people
about
it
and
understand
it
much
better.
J
I
Thank
you,
madam
chair
yeah.
It
certainly
isn't
the
best
form
in
terms
of
presenting
something
at
the
end,
and
it
was
something
of
an
oversight
from
from
my
perspective,
when
I
was
going
through
the
main
document,
I
just
assumed
that
this
was
a
carryover
item
from
the
previous
iteration
of
the
concept
plan.
I
The
first
sort
of
drafting
of
it,
which
sort
of
launched
us
to
this
point
in
this
draft,
certainly
there's
plenty
of
time
to
incorporate
this
sort
of
thing
as
we're
moving
forward,
particularly
with
the
term
sheets,
and
so,
if,
on
council,
member
gordon
suggested
that
this
could
come
through
at
that
time,
it
would
get
the
community
not
the
community.
But
the
committee
vetting
that
that
I
think
the
chair
of
that
committee
was
imploring
and
rightfully
so
actually.
B
G
G
I
didn't
know
that
this
was
what's
happening
in
this
way
today,
and
so
I,
if
it's
possible,
I'm
I'm
not
exactly
sure
what
the
right
motion
would
be
since
now
we
have
a
motion
in
a
second,
but
I
I
would
prefer,
maybe
for
us
to
move
forward
with
what
we
have
and
then
and
then
bring
it
through
the
committee
process,
perhaps
as
a
as
a
as
a
cleaner
way
to
do
this.
Thank
you.
B
I
B
H
Thank
you.
Madam
president.
We
we've
been
working
with
councilmember
reich
and
cunning
and
councilmember
cunningham
and
the
mwmo.
The
city
is
engaged
at
this
moment
in
feasibility
analysis,
public
works,
office,
sustainability,
health
department
are
all
partners
in
that
and
we're
also
working
with
the
hennepin
county.
H
H
The
staff
direction
is
intended
to
to
just
reish
reassure
community
and
staff
that
we
will
continue
on
that
feasibility
process,
because
we
have
to
get
into
phase
two
and
whenever
possible,
to
integrate.
You
know:
regional
water
management.
We
have
a
district
storm
water
management
process
proposal
that
we're
working
out
for
this
project
as
well,
as
is
when
we
can
integrate
utilities
to
do
so
when
it's
feasible.
So
it's
it's
more
of
a
stop
gap
measure.
H
B
G
Yes,
thank
you,
madam
president,
I'll
just
say
that
you
know
right
now
we're
in
a
time
in
which
we're
so
focused
on
the
negatives
of
everything,
and
you
know
we're
we're
in
just
generally
speaking
like
a
fairly
dark
time
and
what
this
plan
does.
Is
it's
really
like.
We
have
to
take
a
step
back
and
look
at
all
of
the
positives.
G
G
This
plan
is
not
the
same.
This
project
is
not
the
same
project
that
I
inherited
in
2018
when
I
started,
and
that
is
thanks
to
city
staff.
That's
thanks
to
the
private
development
team,
but
I
want
to
make
sure
that
also
that
we
take
a
moment
to
thank
the
collaborative
planning
committee
members
and
and
to
really
acknowledge
the
amount
of
work
that
they
have
put
in
to
making
this
this
this
plan,
what
it
is
so
first
I
want
to
just
go
through
and
make
sure
to
name
all
of
the
folks.
G
Every
single
one
of
those
folks
have
put
in
dozens
upon
dozens
of
hours,
unpaid.
We
created
in
2019
a
brand
new
way
of
doing
community
development
planning.
With
the
collaborative
planning
committee.
We
we
empowered
a
group
of
community
members
to
do
deep,
dives
in
learning
the
complexities
of
community
development
and
this
project
isn't
like
a
housing
development
project
or
just
about
an
amphitheater
or
just
about
you
know
a
park.
It's
everything.
G
There's
community
there's
community
space.
There
are
first
floor,
active
use
for
entrepreneurs
and
businesses,
there's
job
creation
and
housing
and
a
park
and
amphitheaters
all
of
those
things.
So
these
folks
learned
how
to
do
development
planning
around
all
of
those
different
aspects.
They
learned
about
affordable
housing
financing
so
that
when
they
made
the
recommendations
that
came
forward,
that
they
were
deeply
informed
about
how
to
actually
do
it.
We
have
what
we
have
before
us
is
a
brilliant
plan
that
I
am
so
proud
of.
G
G
G
G
Community
development
planning
here
in
the
city
as
a
result
of
this,
so
I
just
want
to
one
more
time,
say
thank
you
to
each
and
every
one
of
the
cpc
members
thanks
sean
pierce
for
all
of
her
hard
work
and
thank
you
to
each
and
every
one
of
the
community
members
who
has
continuously
showed
up
whether
they
were
for
or
against.
The
project
folks
have
been
committed
to
this
work
for
the
whole,
almost
four
years
that
I've
been
working
on
this
project,
and
so
thank
you
to
everyone
because
of
everybody.
G
Everybody's
participation,
this
project,
this
plan
and
the
project
will
be
far
better
off
then
had
we
all
disagreed
in
2018
and
move
forward
with
exactly
what
was
there.
So
thank
you.
Everyone
and-
and
I
ask
for
my
colleagues
to
please
support
this
and
to
honor
the
process
that
we
put
forward.
Thank
you.
B
B
B
You
know
that
rely
on
the
private
market
or
private
investment
to
really
deliver
public
benefit,
and
so
you
know
I
just
wanted
to
echo
the
innovation
and
how
this
plan
has
woven
public
benefit
in
and
really,
I
think
fundamentally
having
to
stand
up
to
that.
Maybe
a
bit
of
prevailing
wisdom.
That
would
say
well,
you
know
we
have
to
rely
on
private
investment
to
pay
for
this
stuff.
So
the
benefit
is
you
know
the
park
or
the
benefit.
Is
this
thing?
B
But
you
know
what
I'm
hearing
through
the
council
member
and
directly
from
community
is
that
you
know
that's
that
trade-off.
Isn't
enough
that
this
needs
to
be
a
place,
that's
rooted
in
history
in
historic
harms
in
correcting
historic,
harms
and
really
benefiting
the
community
in
in
many
deep
ways.
So
it's
a
tall
order
and
we're
breaking
new
ground
and
a
lot
of
things
here.
B
Like
the
council
members
said
it's
going
to
take
commitment
going
into
the
next
term
in
the
years
ahead
to
live
up
to
the
city's
commitment
and
promises
that
have
been
made
to
this
community.
So
I
really
take
to
heart
that,
as
a
council
member,
I
I
approved
this
process.
I
helped
with
my
vote,
appoint
the
members
of
this
committee
and
I
think
it's
really
important
for
all
of
us
to
stand
behind
that
that
process
of
what's
come
out
of
it.
B
So
thanks
to
the
council,
member
councilmember
cunningham
for
all
of
your
leadership-
and
you
know
everyone
who's
dug
into
these
details
and
especially
to
the
members
of
that
committee
who
have
spent
and
the
broader
community
that
have
spent
so
many
hours
you
can
look
at
the
the
plan
also
includes
a
calendar
of
all
the
different
community
engagement
activities,
the

F
F
B
K
Thank
you,
council
president.
We
don't
need
to
pull
it,
but
I
do
want
to
comment
briefly
on
item
17.,
just
to
reiterate
once
again
that
I
am
supportive
of
an
early
intervention
system.
If
done
well,
it
can
be
an
extremely
valuable
tool.
I
want
to
make
sure
it
is
done
well
through
our
council
oversight.
K
We
are
voting
today
on
an
item
in
which
somebody
applied
for
this
grant
to
circumvent
the
council's
role
in
this
process
in
violation
of
our
financial
policies,
and
I
cannot
vote
for
that
and
I
frankly
cannot
understand
how
many
of
my
colleagues
can
vote
for
that.
I
support
an
eis
system,
but
I
am
voting
no
on
this
today
and
I
encourage
my
colleagues
to
join
me.
B
Thank
you,
councilmember
put
myself
in
queue
to
comment
on
the
same
item.
I
too
have
deep
reservations
about
the
process
that
this
went
through.
Certainly,
the
former
city
coordinator,
who
was
involved
in
this
who
used
to
be
our
finance
director,
knows
what
our
financial
policies
are.
It's
hard
to
believe
that
there
was
an
accidental
circumvention
of
council
process
and,
as
I
mentioned
during
the
committee
meeting,
there
were
well
between
pogo
and
the
public
safety
committee.
B
There
were
four
separate
committee
meetings,
plus
two
council
meetings
in
the
time
frame
that
we
heard
about
where
the
council
could
have
heard
an
update
about
this.
I
also
attended.
I
don't
know
how
many
meetings
with
council
vice
president
and
the
mayor
policy
group
meetings,
leadership
meetings,
one-on-ones
with
the
coordinator,
many
many
many
meetings
in
which
this
wasn't
discussed,
and
so
it's
hard
to
believe
that
it
was
not
as
councilmember
fletcher
said,
you
know
an
intentional
exclusion
of
the
council
in
this
discussion.
B
I
don't
think
that's
okay,
I
you
know
I
I
obviously
I
support
it
at
committee
trying
to
shift
this
into
a
place
within
the
city
enterprise
that
we
may
have
had
some
more
hope
of
having
oversight,
rather
than
just
handing
another
blank
check
to
mpd,
I'm
going
to
continue
to
use
every
lever.
I
have,
including
you
know,
relationships
and
conversations
with
stakeholders
to
ensure
that
there
is
some
accountability
here.
B
I
hope
the
council
members
who
voted
no
on
councilmember
fletcher's
direction
will
take
that
responsibility
even
more
so
having
placed
their
trust
in
this
process
to
get
results.
That
haven't
happened
over
the
last
many
decades
in
our
city,
including
specific
investments
in
this
exact
system
and
with
overwhelming
public
evidence
that
the
current
discipline
process
at
the
city
is
not
working
to
get
the
outcomes
that
every
policymaker
espouses
to
care
about.
B
E
E
E
E
L
Thank
you,
councilmember.
Thank
you,
madam
chair
and
council
of
vice
president
jenkins.
I
appreciate
you
acknowledging
this
item,
so
you
know
it's.
It's
really
difficult
to
consider
approval
of
this
item
today
for
lots
of
reasons,
and
I
just
wanted
to
take
a
brief
moment
to
remind
us
of
the
the
deep
history
this
project
carries
and
invite.
L
More
leaders
into
the
conversation-
I
don't
think
this
vote
is
going
to
be
the
end
of
it
today.
I
do
know
that
the
community
is
planning
to
request
that
the
mayor
veto
this
item
and
send
it
back
to
the
council
for
further
elaboration
or
for
another
look,
because
it's
it's
just
such
a
deeply
divisive
issue
as
it
is
presented.
Now.
L
And
so
this
is
really
an
opportunity
for
us
to
to
make
this
right
and
we're
not
doing
that
today.
And-
and
so
I
can't
support
the
motion,
even
if
it
has
a
shiny,
three
acres
attached
to
what's
considered
a
poison
pill
for
the
rest
of
the
community
and-
and
I
take
deep
issue
with
the
people
who
have
chosen
to
essentially
call
our
people
and
myself
broken
for
not
being
able
to
you
know,
gather
seven
votes
to
to
turn
this
project
around.
L
L
L
You
know
for
the
right
public
hearing,
but
it
is
just
indicative
of
a
broader
issue
here
that
this
issue
just
has
never
had
the
seven
votes
it
needs
to
move
forward,
and
so
I
just
want
to
remind
people
of
that
history,
because
it
stems
back
to
four
years
ago
when
the
current
elected
officials
were
sitting
before
you
today
were
elected,
and
even
two
before
that.
Of
course,
you
know
the
four
years
prior
to
that.
This
was
still
a
very
public
issue
that
that
didn't
have
the
support
and
needed
on
the
council.
L
M
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I'll
keep
my
comments
short,
but
I
you
know
I'm
very
disappointed
that
we're
at
this
point
today.
I
think
there
was
an
opportunity
to
have
a
win-win
and
to
give
the
community
a
chance
with
this
project.
I
think
it
deserves
being
emphasized
that
the
community
has
not
asked
for
the
three
acres
that
they
have
specifically
said.
M
I
do
hope
we
get
an
opportunity
here,
though,
to
give
this
community
a
chance
at
fulfilling
their
vision
and
finding
a
way
to
support
it,
and
I
really
reflect
on
this,
and
I
think
that
this
is
just
a
case
where
the
institutional
momentum
has
been
behind
this
site
long
enough,
that
it's
really
hard
for
folks
to
look
at
this
and
see
a
different
path
forward,
and
I
just
think
that
that's
unfortunate
so
I'll
be
voting
against
this
as
well.
Today,.
B
Thank
you.
I
see
council
vice
president
in
queue
I'll
note
that
we
don't
have
a
motion
before
us,
so
I
I
had
been
wondering
if
others
would
make
a
motion,
so
I
think
before
I
call
on
other
councilors
I'll
just
go
ahead
and
move
the
item
on
the
agenda,
which
is
approval
of
the
committee
recommendation,
which
is
for
option
b
and
all
the
details
are
listed
in
the
agenda.
F
How
do
we
work
together
on
these?
These
really
pertinent
issues
in
our
community
so
that
we
can
solve
these
problems
to
the
benefit
of
everyone?
I
I
I
just
wanted
to
to
make
that
comment
about
the
beginning,
the
process
of
working
together,
and
I
I
get
it.
Maybe
you
know-
maybe
I'm
naive.
Maybe
I'm
overly
optimistic,
but
I
think
we
can
do
that.
F
We've
done
it
in
the
past
and
I
think
we
can
continue
to
do
it
in
the
future,
but
it
takes
it's
going
to
take
some
some
commitment
to
compromise
for
all
of
us
and
I,
as
far
as
I
know,
that
is
how
politics
works.
I
don't
I
don't
know
how
we
have
a
society
where
it's
only
one
way
that
things
can
be
accomplished.
B
B
Flooding
is
one
of
our
biggest
risk
factors
here
in
minneapolis
related
to
climate
change,
and
we
face
aging
infrastructure
in
in
many
ways,
we've
talked
about
our
park
infrastructure
and
our
our
street
infrastructure.
A
lot
they're
more
visible,
but
the
underground
infrastructure
that
keeps
our
city
safe
and
healthy
through
water
and
sewer
systems
are
a
critical
part
of
that
infrastructure,
which
are
also
aging
and
badly
needed
of
maintenance.
B
The
funding
for
this
project
comes
from
something
called
the
water
fund.
It's
fee
based
so
when
people
pay
their
their
water
and
sewer
fees
here
in
minneapolis
and
in
the
suburban
communities
that
our
system
serves,
those
fees
are
collected
and
under
law.
Those
can
only
be
used
to
invest
in
the
water
system,
so
we
can't
take
fees
from
water
super
charges
and
spend
them
to
build
a
private
development
or
to
do
another
kind
of
public
use.
It
has
to
be
used
for
the
water
and
sewer
systems.
B
B
The
project
cleans
up
the
asbestos.
That's
in
the
site.
I've
reviewed
the
very
extensive
publicly
available
environmental
review
documents
and
I
don't
see
any
evidence
to
suggest
that
there
would
be
any
issues
with
that
asbestos
cleanup.
There
have
been
other
examples
of
asbestos
cleanup
in
the
area.
B
So
with
the
information
I
have,
I
have
no
reason
to
doubt
that
the
asbestos
cleanup
that
this
project
would
complete
would
be
a
net
positive
for
the
local
environmental
impacts
of
the
existing
pollution.
That's
there,
whereas
walking
away
from
the
project
would
leave
the
pollution
on
the
site,
as
lots
of
council
members
have
said
in
many
previous
discussions
about
this.
There
are
trade-offs
about
where
to
site
this
needed
public
facility
and
there
are
city-wide
air
quality
trade-offs
for
sites
that
would
be
farther
away.
That
would
result
in
overall
increases
in
emissions.
B
This
project,
however,
as
it's
coming
through
recommended
from
the
committee
today,
does
set
aside
three
acres
of
land
for
community
uses
and
like
everything
else,
that
would
need
to
be
developed
over
time,
with
leadership
from
from
the
city
from
the
community
and
and
partnership.
So
like
like
a
lot
a
in
in
word,
six
or
like
the
upper
harbor
project
that
we
just
heard
about
you
know:
project
public
projects
like
that
of
any
scale,
require
staff,
time
and
political
leadership,
as
as
the
council
member
said.
B
Certainly
the
mayor
has
a
veto
on
this
and
in
any
other
council
decision,
so
that
if
this
is
approved
today
it
goes
to
the
mayor.
I
think
that's
all
I
will
say
about
this.
I
understand
the
frustration
of
my
colleagues.
I
too
wish
that
that
there
was
more
a
more
authentic
compromise.
I
think,
what's
what's
being
put
here
or
proposed
through
this,
this
approval
would
be
different,
very
different
than
how
the
project
started
out.
B
For
me,
the
biggest
kind
of
unanswered
question
was
how
to
fill
a
12.9
million
hole
in
our
budget
that
would
have
been
left
by
canceling
the
project
and
walking
away,
as
well
as
the
expenses
related
to
reciting,
not
just
this
project,
but
a
really
needed
fire
station
in
a
growing
part
of
the
city.
So
there
are
lots
of
ripple
effects
to
all
of
our
decisions,
including
this
one.
J
Thank
you
and
I
won't
make
the
full
case
here.
I
just
want
to
raise
a
couple
points.
I
think
maybe
that
they've
come
up
a
little
bit
one.
A
compromise
isn't
a
compromise
unless
both
sides
see
it
as
a
compromise,
and
I
don't
think
we've
gotten
here
yet
second
point
is:
it
was
pretty
clear
from
the
beginning,
when
I
opposed
purchasing
the
building
in
the
first
place
that
there
wasn't
community
support
for
this,
and
community
support
hasn't
been
coming,
it
seems
to
be
opposition
seems
to
have
grown.
J
Actually
I
think
everybody
in
the
city
recognizes
the
need
that
we
serve
our
employees.
Well,
that
would
provide
excellent
water
service.
That's
not
necessarily
up
for
debate.
I
think
most
people
in
our
city
also
want
to
see
us
locate
our
public
infrastructure
somewhere,
where
it's
going
to
be
welcomed.
Somewhere,
it's
going
to
be
seen
as
an
asset.
I
think
there's
the
potential
for
this
kind
of
facility
to
be
welcomed,
places
to
see
it
as
a
vast
improvement
in
some
kind
of
communities.
J
It
means
a
lot
to
me
to
look
at
the
council
members
whose
wards
these
things
are
in
and
try
to
listen
to
them
carefully
because
they
ran
for
election.
They
listen
to
the
people
and
the
voters.
It's
interesting
that
in
this
case
we
have
four
of
the
council
members
closest
and
where
this
is
I'm
opposed
and
concerned
about
this
and
have
been
for
a
long
time
that
should
send
a
message
to
all
of
us.
J
J
E
E
C
E
C
B
G
Thank
you.
Madam
president.
The
public
health
and
safety
committee
is
bringing
forward
one
item
for
approval
today.
The
item
is
passage
of
an
ordinance
amending
title
vii
of
the
minneapolis
code
of
ordinances
related
to
civil
rights,
adding
a
new
chapter
143
entitled
right
to
counsel
to
create
a
right
to
counsel
for
tenants
facing
evictions.
B
B
It's
something
we've
been
working
on
building
support
for
for
many
years,
one
of
the
first
things
councilman
ellison
and
I
first
talked
about
when
he
took
office
at
the
beginning
of
this
term.
I
really
appreciate
his
partnership
and
council
member
gordon's
support
and
really
the
institutional
knowledge
that
you
bring
councilman
gordon
to
all
of
our
work,
helping
us
navigate
the
different
city
systems.
B
You
know
this
is
a
one
piece
of
a
bigger
puzzle
of
ways
that
we
are
helping
support
renters
in
our
community.
The
urgency
of
this
has
increased
dramatically
with
the
pandemic
and
the
economic
impacts
and
the
lifting
of
the
eviction
moratorium,
which
starting
early
next
week,
will
protect
renters
if
they
have
applied
for
emergency
assistance,
but
we
have
already
started
to
see
big
issues
with
that
that
have
the
impact
of
people
falling
through
their
cracks
and
losing
their
homes.
E
E
E
B
I
Thank
you.
Madam
president.
The
committee
forwards
nine
items

act
project

is
authorize
an
increase
to
michael's
for
the
pump
station
number
five
flood
wall
rehabilitation
project.
Five
is
the
contract
member
of
linda
construction
company
for
the
10th
avenue
southeast
river
bridge
rehabilitation
project.
I
Six

marquette
ramp
for
epoxy
overlay
work.
D
E
E
B
E
E
B
F
B
F
So
that
is
sure
to
be
a
a
very
lively
event.
Then
coming
up
on
sunday
is
lindell
open
streets,
and
I
think
that
is
going
to
be
a
fantastic
event.
We
know
that
there
are
only
three
this
year
and
so
I'm
pretty
sure
it's
going
to
be
well
attended.
The
weather
is
projected
to
be
a
beautiful
day,
so
I
hope
to
see
folks
out
at
that
as
well
and
happy
indigenous
people's
day
coming
up
on
monday
city
offices
will
be
closed.
B
G
Hi,
sorry
about
that,
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
to
take
a
moment.
We
had
a
very
successful
trans
equity
summit
this
past
week.
It
was
the
eighth
annual,
so
I
want
to
make
sure
to
say
thank
you
to
track
trackenberg
and
all
of
the
trans
equity
council,
transgender
equity,
council
members
and
community
members

See

We
