B
Good
afternoon,
everyone
and
welcome
to
this
last
regularly
scheduled
meeting
of
the
public
health
and
safety
committee
for
december,
2nd
2021.
My
name
is
philippe
cunningham
and
I
am
the
chair
of
this
committee.
As
we
begin,
I
will
note
for
the
record
that
this
meeting
has
remote
participation
by
members
of
the
city,
council
and
city
staff
as
authorized
under
minnesota
statute,
section
13d.021
due
to
the
declared
local
public
health
emergency.
B
The
city
will
be
recording
and
posting
this
meeting
to
the
city's
website
and
youtube
channel
as
a
means
of
increasing
public
access
and
transparency.
This
meeting
is
public
and
subject
to
the
open
meeting
minnesota
open
meeting
law.
At
this
time.
I
will
ask
the
clerk
to
please
call
the
role,
so
we
can
verify
a
quorum
for
this
meeting.
C
B
Thank
you,
please
let
the
record
reflect
that
we
have
a
quorum
and
can
conduct
the
business
of
this
committee
with
that
the
agenda
for
today's
meeting
is
before
us.
We
have
four
items
on
agenda,
I'm
sorry
on
the
consent
agenda
and
then
we
will
move
into
two
discussion
items
so
beginning
with
the
consent
agenda.
B
We
have
item
number
one
which
is
homegrown.
Minneapolis
food
council
appointments,
it's
a
number
of
council
appointments
and
reappointments
and
mayoral
appointments.
I
highly
recommend
for
folks
to
take
a
look
at
this
legislative
item
in
order
to
be
able
to
see
the
some
more
details
about
this
work
and
those
being
appointed
item
number
two
is
approving
some
public
health
advisory
committees
appointments.
B
So
that
is
some
council
as
well
as
council.
Reappointments
item
number
three
is
authorizing
an
increase
to
a
grant
from
the
minnesota
department
of
health
in
the
amount
of
one
million,
eight
hundred
fifty
seven
thousand
eight
hundred
fifty
dollars
for
a
new
total
amount
of
three
million.
Eight
hundred
ninety
eight
thousand
one
hundred
ninety
four
dollars
and
an
extension
through
december
31st
2023
for
covid19
response
and
backflip
vaccination
implementation
and
item
number.
B
Four
is
accepting
a
grant
from
the
minnesota
department
of
public
safety
office
of
justice
programs
and
the
amount
of
ninety
90
000
for
inspiring
youth,
the
health
department's
early
intervention
program
for
young
people
at
risk
of
involvement
with
violence
through
the
end
of
next
year.
With
that,
is
there
any
discussion
on
any
of
these
items.
E
B
Those
items
carry
and
the
consent
agenda
is
approved.
Colleagues
will
now
be
moving
to
our
two
discussion
items
for
today.
The
first
is
receiving
and
filing
a
presentation
on
community
safety.
This
is
typically
presented
with
mpd
alongside
ovp,
to
be
able
to
give
monthly
updates.
Unfortunately,
mpd
was
not
able
to
make
it
today
to
the
presentation.
B
E
Can?
Okay,
sorry
for
some
reason,
my
system
is
saying
that
I'm
still
need
to
unmute,
so
blame
it
on
technology
well,
good
afternoon,
cheer,
cunningham
and
council
members.
Thank
you
so
much
for
the
opportunity
again
in
our
final
month
of
the
year,
to
provide
an
update
about
the
work
of
the
office
of
violence
prevention
and
our
efforts
towards
public
safety.
E
E
We
also
really
recognize
and
try
to
lift
up
the
fact
that
minneapolis
residents
have
good
ideas
about
how
to
resolve
and
address
violence
in
their
home
communities
and
that
we
need
to
be
funding
those
ideas
in
order
to
have
a
balanced
approach
to
addressing
violence
in
minneapolis,
and
so
that's
one
of
the
major
anchors
of
that
body
of
work.
Next
slide,
please.
E
The
ones
that
have
been
executed
are
the
american
indian,
oic
the
anika
foundation,
black
family
blueprint
center
for
multicultural
mediations,
chinese
american
chamber
of
commerce,
clues
elliott
park,
neighborhood,
encouraging
leaders,
restorative
justice,
community
action
and
st
olive's
lutheran
church
next
slide.
Please.
E
So
these
are
some
again
just
highlights
of
some
of
the
the
contracts
that
are
yet
emerging,
but
that
we
are
working
on
developing
so
emerge.
Community
development
is
creating
opportunities
through
their
north
four
program,
which
I
always
like
to
highlight,
because
north
four
was
one
of
the
first
violence
prevention
programs
that
came
out
of
the
health
department.
It
has
since
spun
off
and
really
is
housed
and
anchored
at
emerge
and
has
been
for
many
years,
but
it
is
one
of
the
bedrocks
of
the
violence
prevention
work
that
the
city
developed.
E
This
opportunity
will
focus
on
identifying
four
of
them
to
really
step
into
leadership
roles
and
after
they've,
completed
their
own
training
and
are
doing
well
and
they've
already
identified.
I
believe
the
young
men
who
will
participate
to
be
mentors
to
younger
youth
in
the
community
so
really
focusing
on
that
mentorship
aspect
which
we
know
has
roots
in
evidence-based
practice.
E
And
what
we've
noticed
is
that
there's
sort
of
a
high
demand
and
a
high
need
for
youth
services,
and
so
many
of
the
programs
that
we
focus
on
in
this
round
do
look
at
engaging
with
young
people,
recognizing
that
we
have
seen
increases
in
youth
violence
and
reductions
in
out
of
school
time.
Activity
that
really
are
key
to
a
primary
prevention
focus.
E
The
banyan
foundation
is
going
to
be
working
to
strengthen
block
by
block
community-wide
networks
of
trained
leaders
who
can
build
social
connections
to
increase
community
relationships
to
prevent
violence.
We've
done
some
work
with
the
banyan
foundation
in
the
past,
and
the
black
by
block
approach
is
also
something
that
is
rooted
in
evidence-based.
E
Although
this
is
an
adaptation
specifically
to
minneapolis
next
slide,
please
so
growing.
North
minneapolis
will
focus
on
growth
and
youth-led
environmental
education
or
organizing
a
series
of
community
gatherings
to
build
hope,
respond
to
climate
change
and
support
the
protective
work
of
violence
prevention
so
again,
really
trying
to
harken
back
to
primary
prevention,
recognizing
that
with
young
people
and
communities
when
they
are
deeply
engaged
in
what's
happening
in
and
around
them.
It
reduces
the
likelihood
for
involvement
with
violence.
E
So
we're
really
excited
about
building
out
more
work
with
organizations
like
pillsbury,
united
and
the
bryan
club
center
next
slide.
Please,
the
conflict
resolution
center
will
be
providing
restorative
services
to
youth
and
adults,
and
this
is
really
focused
on
neighborhood
and
community
circles,
training
and
mediation,
conflict
resolution,
restorative
circles
and
neighborhood
mediation
and
facilitation.
E
The
weber
camden
neighborhood
organization
is
going
to
be
promoting
trauma,
informed
community
building
and
hiring
young
people
to
do
outreach,
work
and
meet
with
their
peers
and
provide
positive
peer
activities
and
connections.
We've
funded
them
in
the
past
with
our
youth
violence
prevention
week
and
had
really
great
success.
So
we
feel
really
good
about
this
funding
opportunity.
E
They've,
really
leaned
into
youth
driven
activities
like
three
or
three
basketball,
tournaments
and
team
nights
as
a
way
to
bring
young
people
in
and
leverage
their
leadership
skills
through
their
youth
leadership
council.
So
we
look
forward
to
that
partnership
and
again
recognizing
that
the
weber
camden
area
is
a
community
that
has
seen
some
increases
in
violence
and
so
wanting
to
make
sure
that
we
are
partnering
with
agencies
in
that
area
to
mitigate
additional
acts
of
violence.
E
Next
slide,
please
law.
Assistance
center
for
minnesota
is
working
to
prevent
violence
and
support
gender
equity
by
providing
one-to-one
support
for
asian-american
and
pacific
islander
women
who
have
been
victims
of
violence
and
hosting
men's
circle
groups
focused
on
providing
tools
and
changing
narratives
around
gender-based
violence.
Again.
E
Neighborhood
health
source
is
going
to
be
launching
a
north
side.
Youth
healing
team
they'll
be
hiring
young
people
as
interns
and
they'll
receive
training,
and
that
training
will
focus
on
trauma
and
resiliency
building,
and
then
those
young
people
will
be
able
to
work
across
north
minneapolis
and
do
engagement
with
their
peers
and
communities
so
again
an
opportunity
to
really
work
with
young
people
and
build
their
leadership
skills.
E
And
I-
and
this
to
me,
also
speaks
to
the
fact
that
we
know
that
we
are
building
the
network
that
is
going
to
lead
to
the
next
generation
of
violence
prevention
workers
in
the
future
and
so
nurturing
this
interest
in
young
people
to
take
care
of
their
communities
and
see
themselves
as
professionals
in
violence.
Prevention
is
really
important
to
the
longevity
of
the
office
of
violence,
prevention
and
violence,
prevention
comprehensively
in
the
city
of
minneapolis
and
beyond
next
slide.
Please
so.
That
concludes
our
presentation
related
to
our
office
of
violence
prevention
fund.
E
I
know
that
we
will
be
coming
back
with
updates
about
how
each
of
those
outcomes
have
gone,
and
this
next
step.
This
next
slide
is
about
next
step,
which
is
our
hospital-based
program.
I
know
that
we've
provided
updates
that
provide
information
about
what
nextstep
does,
but
it
is
providing
resources
and
support
to
folks
who
come
into
hcmc
north
memorial
and
now
this
year,
abbott
northwestern
with
serious
injuries
from
violence.
E
E
Although
in
the
recent
years
we
have
been
able
to
expand
our
services
beyond
people
who
are
over
the
age
of
30,
the
vast
majority
of
our
participants
remain
young
people
under
the
age
of
30.
and
then
in
november,
nextup
launched
a
men's
group
that
is
really
focused
on
providing
motivation
to
success.
For
our
next
step
program.
Participants
who
are
male
are
male
identifying.
E
That
are,
you
know,
receiving
the
resource,
but
also
how
it
can
expand
more
broadly
into
community.
One
thing
that
I
think
often
gets
missed
is
that
these
groups,
while
they
are
focused
on
next
up
participants,
are
open
to
the
general
public,
so
people
who
have
been
impacted
by
gun
violence
who
maybe
haven't
enrolled
in
next
up
or
maybe
may
not
even
be
eligible
for
next
step,
are
also
able
to
get
these
trauma-informed
services,
which
is
really
important
to
the
overall
healing
in
our
communities.
E
So.
We've
received
a
lot
of
technical
since,
in
the
month
of
november,
as
covid
cases
have
coveted,
modifications
have
begun
to
be
pulled
back
a
little
bit,
we've
been
able
to
have
more
site
visits
from
our
partnering
agencies.
Who
are
you
know
on
the
ground
with
us,
helping
us
to
think
through
the
strategies
we've
been
implementing
making
sure
that
we're
applying
them
with
fidelity
and
fine-tuning
areas
where
we
can
improve
so
staff
from
pure
violence
global
completed
a
technical
assistance
site
visit
focused
on
our
minneapolis
strategic
outreach.
E
They
met
with
office
of
violence
prevention
staff
and
each
of
our
contracted
violence
interruption
teams.
They
spent
time
on
the
ground
with
them,
walking
their
beats
and
engaging
with
their
community
partners
and
the
folks
that
they're
working
with
and
providing
services
to,
and
we
are
in
the
process
of
receiving
their
feedback
so
that
we
can
again
help
refine
and
fine-tune
all
the
work
that
we're
doing
on
the
ground.
With
the
violence
interruption
work,
we
continue
to
engage
with
our
technical
assistance
providers
from
the
hobby,
which
is
the
ta
team.
E
We've
been
provided
by
the
biden
administration
and
our
recent
work
has
really
focused
on
ongoing
planning
and
program
improvement
from
minneapolis
strategic
outreach
initiatives.
So
with
the
violence
interrupters
being
our
newest
initiative,
we
really
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
investing
in
getting
the
best
research
and
technical
assistance
on
that
project.
So
we
have
two
agencies
right
now
that
are
really
helping
us
to
think
through
how
we
can
make
that
the
best
model
possible
for
minneapolis
and
then
the
last
highlighter
on
technical
assistance
is
the
national
network
for
safe
communities
and
john
jay
college.
E
So
they
were
also
here
in
november,
providing
training
both
to
office
of
violence,
prevention
and
community
partners,
as
well
as
to
the
mpd
on
the
model
spending
time
with
our
executive
committee
on
gvi,
which
includes
staff
from
is
chaired
by
the
mayor,
but
includes
staff
from
our
partners
in
county
community
corrections
and
the
police
department
and
the
city
attorney's
office,
really
looking
across
various
systems
inside
of
city
and
county
government
that
have
a
contributing
role
in
the
group.
Violence
intervention.
E
Some
of
the
major
highlights
of
that
have
been
really
just
increased
communication
across
systems
and
so
thinking
about
better
and
more
innovative
ways
for
the
office
of
violence
prevention,
the
police
department
and
county
probation
to
make
sure
that
we're
really
intentional
about
how
we're
communicating,
while
protecting
the
anonymity
and
identity
of
clients.
But
also
really
making
sure
that
we're
all
aware
of
what's
happening
on
the
ground
and
in
our
work
so
that
we
can
be
most
effective
in
our
partnerships
next
slide.
Please-
and
that
concludes
my
presentation.
E
B
B
E
Thank
you,

prevention
comprehensively
has
been
invaluable.

a
pretty
short
program
for

a
look
at

assessment.
Next
slide,
please
this.
This
is
one
of
several
slides
you've
seen
before
in
these
presentations
by
me,
but
a
refresher.
This
shows
the
framework
that
organizes
various
transforming
public
safety
initiatives.
G
My
update
today
is
squarely
in
the
policy
and
research
area,
as
is
often
the
case
with
me,
and
then
I
will
hand
things
back
to
gina
to
speak
about
the
behavioral
crisis
response
team
next
slide,
please,
as
I've
done
before
this
slide,
is
unchanged
from
any
of
the
updates
I've
given
in
previous
quarters
on
this
project
and
is
provided
here
as
context
and
for
the
sake
of
members
of
the
public
who
may
be
following
along
with
the
study
showing
the
scope
of
services.
The
city
will
receive
next
slide.
G
G
On
to
some
of
the
new
things
in
the
final
report,
we
will
see
a
series
of
deliverables,
including
both
findings
and
recommendations
that
are
responsive
to
the
december
2019
staff
direction
that
initiated
this
work,
this
research
team,
so
that
you
all
know
the
the
vendor.
The
research
team
has
been
advised
of
the
results
of
the
proposed
charter.
Amendment
question
too,
just
in
the
event
that
the
city's
retention
of
a
minimum
police
staffing
formula
would
affect
any
of
their
recommendations.
G
They've
advised
me
that
they
aren't
certain
yet
the
extent
to
which
it
may
or
may
not
have
affected
them,
but
everyone
is
aware
of
the
the
current
conditions
you
see
on
this
side.
Excuse
me
a
very
high
level
summary
of
the
the
contents
we
expect
to
see
in
the
final
report.
As
a
reminder,
the
workload
workload
based
staffing
analyses
will
touch
on
all
bureaus
divisions
and
units
within
mpd.
G
In
some
cases
that
analysis
will
be
based
on
a
variety
of
data
sources,
including
administrative
data
and
staff
interviews.
In
the
case
of
patrol
staffing,
it's
based
largely
on
data
about
calls
for
service
there'll
also
be
prioritization
analyses
for
the
problem.
Nature
codes
assigned
by
9-1-1
at
the
time
a
call
is
received
to
classify
the
different
types
of
incidents.
Mpd
is
responding
to
this
work
will
include
recommendations
on
whether
or
not
to
change
up
the
problem.
G
G
G
Qualitative
data
collection
through
staff
interviews
is
also
nearly
complete.
After
interviews
will
come
the
review
of
policy
and
other
documents
that
we
provided
to
the
researchers.
The
sequencing
is
intentional,
although
it
does
take
longer
because
it
allows
interviewers
to
listen
to
their
subjects
with
fresh
ears,
having
not
consulted
or
done
a
deep
dive
into
policy
documents
that
also
allows
them
to
work
through
the
more
logistically
and
analytically,
complex
tasks
of
quantitative
analysis
and
interviewing
prior
to
the
desk
review
pieces.
G
For
similar
reasons
in
terms
of
logistical
and
analytical
complexity,
the
prioritization
analysis
of
9-1-1
problem
nature
codes
is
also
now
getting
underway.
This
work
is
a
little
bit
more
straightforward
than
the
staffing
analysis
and
it
is
on
pace
for
completion
with
the
rest
of
the
study,
despite
the
what
the
timing
might
suggest.
Otherwise,
next
slide
please
so
this
is.
This
is
the
big
news
of
the
presentation
today,
the
timeline
for
next
steps.
There
are
fewer
and
fewer
next
steps.
Every
time
you
see
me
the
draft
review
period.
G
That
is
the
first
next
step
of
note.
That
period
will
be
used
by
city
staff,
to
review
a
draft
of
the
vendors
report,
to
add
context
to
the
findings
and
recommendations,
to
comment
on
the
feasibility
or
or
strategies
for
implementing
recommendations,
and
to
note
any
work
that
may
already
be
underway
related
to
the
report's
recommendations.
G
G
We
expect
to
receive
the
draft
report
no
later
than
december
17th,
which
I'm
I'm
sure
you
all
share
the
sentiment
that
that
is
later
than
we
would
like
it
to
be.
Unfortunately,
there
were
things
beyond
the
vendor's
control
on
their
end
that
have
caused
the
study
to
go
on
a
little
bit
longer
than
we
would
have
liked.
G
B
H
H
H
Has
it
been
funding?
I
don't
think
it's
been
funding,
but
you
know
prove
me
wrong.
Is
that
the
fact
that
we
added
enormously
to
the
scope
after
its
original
approval,
also
because
this
will
end
up
in
one
of
several
hopefully
really
meaty
substantive
recommendations
coming
to
us
at
the
same
time
in
the
next
month
or
two
we
will
have.
H
I
imagine
we
will
have
this
first
quarter
of
next
year.
We'll
have
efforts
from
dr
of
telly.
We
will
have
the
after
action
review.
We
will
have
the
public
safety
work
group
recommendations
that
was
just
announced
today.
We
will
have
two
other
potential
investigations
coming
forward
with
information
from
dhs
and
doj.
I
mean
those
are
just
the
ones
I
can
think
of
off
the
top
of
my
head
here
in
the
last
few
minutes.
How
so
I
guess
what
I'm
asking
is
this
first?
H
What's
what
has
been
the
barriers
so
that
we
know
when
we
take
on
this
kind
of
work,
how
to
make
things
go
more
smoothly?
And
secondly,
you
mentioned
that
the
vendor
is
the
cna,
and
can
you
give
me
a
sense
of,
or
can
you
give
us
the
sense
of?
What
is
what
other
kinds
of
reports
do
they
do
like
what
will
it
be
similar
to
when
we
take
on
vendors?
H
G
Thanks
chair
cunningham
and
councilmember
palmisano
briefly,
yes,
it
will
be
truncated
by
the
function
of
my
ability
to
recall
that
detail.
But
yes
and
I'm
happy
to
follow
up
offline
for
more
detail,
you
you're
describing
very
well
the
exact
process
we
want
to
through
in
terms
of
vendor
selection
and
I'll
tackle
your
second
question.
First,
if
I
may
just
because
it's
fresh
on
top
of
my
mind,
they
cna
started
out
as
the
center
for
naval
analysis.
G
G
G
Which
brings
me
back
to
your
first
question.
I
I
asked
the
team
exactly
your
question
when
I
was
preparing
to
present
to
this
body
in
the
third
quarter,
and
the
the
biggest
driver
of
the
delay
that
they
were
able
to
flag
for
me
was
that
the
the
quality
and
quantity
and
richness
of
data
that
they
were
getting
was
unexpected
from
the
city
of
minneapolis,
which
is
frustrating
and
yet
also
strangely
flattering.
G
I
know
that
they
have
had
a
couple
of
instances
of
that
they
have
a
14
or
15
person.
Research
team,
where
part
of
all
those
people's
time
is
dedicated
to
this
project,
and
I
know
that
they,
like
any
of
the
organization,
has
had
some
degree
of
staff
turnover.
So
I've
had
I've
been
in
the
position
of
approving,
reviewing
resumes
and
improving
new
staff
to
join
the
project.
Periodically.
G
I
don't
from
where
I
sit
right
now.
I
don't
see
a
single
driver
or
or
practice
that
I
think
I
would
have
changed
to
move
the
timeline
up
further.
It
really
has
been
besides
delays
that
happened,
because
everything
delayed
for
various
reasons
throughout
2020.
Once
the
study
was
underway,
I
think
it
has
moved
a
pace
to
the
best
extent
possible,
which
is
a
very
unsatisfying
answer,
but
I
think
it's
the
correct
one.
H
No
thank
you.
I
really
appreciate
that.
We're
always
looking
for
how
we,
how
do
we
do
better
when
we
engage
other
people
to
come
and
give
us
recommendations
and
advice?
I
think
that
was
a
really
forthcoming
one.
I
am
I
I
probably
knew
this
way
back
then,
but
had
to
be
reminded
two
years
later
who
cna
was
and
what
they
did.
H
B
F
So
as
a
refresher,
the
behavioral
crisis
response
teams
will
be
a
non-police
response
to
dispatch
through
9-1-1
to
support
people
experiencing
a
crisis.
This
program
will
send
an
unarmed,
highly
trained
and
empathetic
team
to
properly
assess
needs
of
community
members
and
provide
appropriate
care
and
support,
while
trying
to
avoid
unnecessary,
hospitalization
and
criminalization.
F
F
The
development
of
eligibility
criteria
that
9-1-1
operators
will
use
to
determine
if
a
call
is
appropriate
for
the
behavioral
crisis
response,
the
creation
of
two
new
problem,
nature
codes
specifically
for
the
new
teams
and
those
are
a
priority
one
pnc
which
is
bcr
for
behavioral
crisis
response
and
that
will
be
assigned
to
the
most
urgent
eligible
calls
and
then
the
second
pnc
is
bcrw
and
that's
a
priority.
Two.
F
F
F
It's
also
important
to
mention
that
the
bcr
teams
will
not
be
doing
any
involuntary
transport
should
the
need
for
involuntary
transport
arise,
mpd
and
or
ems
will
assist
with
that
and
then
on
the
right.
I
just
want
to
bring
your
attention
over
to
the
logo,
which
is
the
combined
canopy
roots
in
city
of
minneapolis,
local
logos
that
will
be
used
for
the
bcr
program.
F
Next
slide,
please,
and
a
little
more
on
how
to
identify
our
bci
responders.
Here's
a
look
at
what
they
will
be
wearing,
as
you
can
see,
they'll
be
wearing
casual
clothing.
That
includes
the
logo.
You
just
saw
on
the
previous
slide,
with
behavioral
crisis
response
written
on
the
back
of
their
short
shirts
or
jackets
next
slide,
please
chair,
cunningham
and
council
members.
This
concludes
today's
update
on
the
mpd
operational
assessment
and
the
behavioral
crisis
response
pilot
I'd
like
to
give
an
extra
special.
F
B
H
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
Ms
o'beery
did
I
say
that
right,
congratulations
and
on
my
my
questions
related
to
this
pilot.
It's
really
nice
to
see
you
know
actual
pictures
with
the
the
things
that
people
will
be
wearing
and
that
starts
to
make
it
look
really
tangible,
which
is
exciting.
I'm
I
have
a
couple
questions.
The
first
is:
can
we
push
canopy
to
for
hard
numbers
on
what
they've
done
or
are
doing?
Do
we
have
hard
numbers
on
how
many
people
have
they
hired
to
be
staffed
in
this
team?
H
I
know
it's
a
lot
more
than
someone
would
perhaps
think
I
know
we're
eventually
working
towards
standing
up
a
24,
7
365
operation,
but
are
there
any
hard
numbers,
because
I
seem
in
in
things
that
we
have
read
in
updates
over
this
past
year?
There's
a
lot
of
words
like
numerous
or
a
lot,
but
there's
never
like
hard
figures
in
there
for
us
to
really
discern
how
they're
doing-
and
it
makes
me
feel,
like
maybe
you're,
not
getting
that
information
either.
H
F
Chair
cunning
cunningham
in
response
to
councilmember
palmisano's
question.
I
believe-
and
I
can
verify
this
with
you
all
later-
that
there
are
nine
responders
who
are
hired
ready
to
go
fully
trained,
and
there
is
a
second
batch
of
responders
that
are
actually
in
training
this
week
with
or
with
joni.
There
are
five
in
there,
so
that
brings
us
to,
I
believe,
14
responders
that
have
been
hired
and
again.
F
D
You
covered
it
all.
I
was
just
nodding
and
doing
hand
motions
to
make
sure,
because
you
know
the
questions,
sometimes
when
you're
speaking
it's
hard
to
remember
everything
but
gina
everything
jenna
said
is
spot
on,
so
we
actually
have
14
responders
that
have
been
hired
and
then
two
supervisors
and
also
a
program
manager
so
and
all
that's
17
that
are
staffed
up.
D
We
just
see
the
service
that
we
get
on
the
street
and
there's
a
lot
of
people
who
do
a
lot
of
hard
work.
A
lot
of
necessary
work
behind
the
scenes
who
have
really
kept
us,
grounded
and
helped
us
get
to
this
point,
and
so
that's
a
part
of
the
reason
for
the
delays.
But
we
have
people
ready
and
then
we'll
have
another
batch
of
folks
ready
and
they're
continuing
to
hire.
So
we
can
staff
up
to
that
24
7
service
that
the
public
said
they
wanted.
D
So
again,
like
gina
said.
I
want
to
thank
the
council
members,
this
committee,
in
particular,
for
the
staff
direction
to
do
this
work,
finding
funding
to
do
this
work
and
we're
almost
there.
Some
of
it
is
actually
getting
a
little
emotional
when
you
get
to
a
point
where
you
have
the
so
much
engagement
with
the
public
to
to
find
out
what
they
really
want.
D
Have
some
tough
conversations
not
always
friendly
conversations,
but
get
to
a
place
where
you
can
synthesize
all
that
information
and
get
people
what
they
want
and
to
be
a
public
servant
and
work
with
a
bunch
of
public
servants?
Who
can
actually
say
we
heard
you
and
we
delivered
it's
it's
something
special,
so
we're
looking
forward
to
so
this
happening
in
the
next
couple
of
weeks,
and
we
want
to
thank
all
of
you
for
the
role
that
you
played
making
this
happen.
H
B
B
So
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
opi
staff
and
leaders
for
helping
to
see
this
process
through.
Building
building
new
systems
is
hard.
Bringing
people
along
is
even
harder,
and
so
I
just
want
to
say
really
great
work
about
that
sort
of
intentionality,
and
so
I
I
council,
member
gordon,
very
generously,
made
a
comment
in
in
the
the
chat
but
council
member
gordon.
Do
you
want
to
say
it
on
the
record.
C
Well
sure,
I'm
just
so
deeply
grateful
for
all
the
work
on
this,
and
I
know
that
a
lot
of
us
have
probably
been
frustrated.
It
wasn't
easier,
it
didn't
happen
sooner,
but
this
has
incredible
potential.
It's
very
amazing.
I
would
even
say
that
it's
historic,
certainly
for
minneapolis,
so
really
deeply
grateful
to
the
team
for
your
work
on
this
and
I'm
very
hopeful
for
what
we're
going
to
see
as
a
result.
B
Great,
thank
you
great.
Thank
you.
Are
there
any
other
questions
or
comments
from
my
colleagues
all
right
great.
Thank
you
so
much
opi
staff
for
that
very
important
update.
So
I
will
see
no
further
discussions.
I
will
direct
the
clerk
to
file
that
report
and
with
that
that
is
the
last
time
that
I
will
be
chairing
this
committee
and
what
an
honor
that
it
has
been.
This
committee
is
a
newer
committee.
B
B
It
was
really
amazing
to
be
able
to
work
with
each
and
every
one
of
you
to
be
able
to
carry
out
the
work
you
are
all
so
brilliant
and
experts
in
your
field,
and
you
choose
to
invest
that
into
public
service.
So
thank
you
for
that.
I
want
to
thank
the
city
staff,
who
showed
up
to
almost
every
agenda
setting
and
that
you,
and
can
they
all,
contributed
to
the
success
of
this
work.
B
So
I'm
from
the
health
department
we
have
commissioner
gretchen
musick
josh
peterson,
patrick
hanlon,
josh
schaefer,
ken
smith.
We
have
robin
mcpherson
from
mpd
lewis,
gardely
from
the
fire
department,
alec
bruns
office
of
emergency
management,
elizabeth
haugen,
from
communications,
jane
disenza,
from
budget
andrea
neff
from
the
city
attorney's
office.
B
So
much
of
the
work
that
you
all
do
critical
often
life-saving
work
happens
behind
the
scenes
and
it
doesn't
make
newspapers,
but
you
all
are
the
engine
of
the
city,
and
I
just
want
you
to
know
that.
I
appreciate
you.
I
see
the
hard
work
that
you
do
and
wish
you
all
the
best
as
you
are
moving
forward,
and
thank
you
for
your
service
with
that.
I
see
no
there's
no
more
business
before
this
committee,
so
we
will
call
it
adjourned
thanks.
Everyone.
