Description
B
C
B
My
name
is
andrea
jenkins
and
I
am
the
vice
chair
of
the
committee
of
the
whole
and
I'm
going
to
call
to
order.
Our
regular
committee
meeting
for
thursday
may
27th
chair
ellison
is
on
official
city
business
and
not
able
to
be
with
us
this
morning.
I
would
like
to
note
that
for
the
record,
this
meeting
has
remote
participation
by
council
members
and
city
staff
as
authorized
under
the
minnesota
open
meeting
law,
section
13
d
.021
due
to
the
declared
state
of
local
public
health
emergency.

At
the
record
reflect
that
we
do
have
a
quorum
colleagues,
we
have
three
items
on
today's
agenda.
In
addition
to
our
regular
standing
committee
report,
presentation
number
one
is
the
federal.
Well,
I'm
sorry
update
on
the
federal
legislative
activities
from
the
office
of
our
esteemed
congresswoman
u.s
representative
ilhan
omar,
and
at
this
time
I
would.
I
am
honored
to
invite
representative
omar
to
begin.
H
Thank
you
vice
president
jenkins,
thank
you
all
for
welcoming
me
to
your
meeting.
I'm
excited
to
get
a
chance
to
give
you
an
update
on
my
work
in
congress
and
answer
any
questions
you
might
have.
A
lot
has
happened
in
our
nation
and
in
our
city,
since
I
was
with
you
a
year
ago.
First,
we
endured
months
of
quarantine
due
to
covet
19
pandemic.
H
Businesses
were
shattered,
many
of
us,
including
myself,
lost
loved
ones,
and
then,
just
days
after
we
last
met
minneapolis
police
officer,
derek
chavin
killed
george
floyd
in
broad
daylight
in
front
of
a
child.
Throughout
the
difficult
times
in
the
last
year,
I've
drawn
inspiration
from
what
we
have
built
together.
A
global
movement
towards
racial
justice
was
launched
right
here
in
our
city.
While
this
has
been
inspiring.
It
also
puts
a
great
deal
of
responsibility
on
each
of
us.
As
leaders
in
washington,
we
are
pushing
to
pass
the
george
floyd
justice
in
policing
act.
H
We
will
be
encouraging
justice
to
expand
the
scope
of
inquiry
to
include
other
nearby
jurisdictions
where
people
of
color
have
been
killed
by
the
police.
I
have
also
proposed
the
creation
of
a
national
police
misuse
of
force
investigation
board
act.
This
bill
will
establish
a
federal
agency
responsible
for
investigating
all
nationwide
debts
occurring
in
police
custody,
officer-involved
shootings
and
uses
of
force
that
result
in
severe
bodily
injury.
H
And,
finally,
I
introduced
my
bill
to
criminalize
police
violence
against
protesters.
This
legislation
would
allow
any
officer
who
kills
or
causes
bodily
harm
to
civilians.
During
the
response
to
a
protest
to
be
charged
with
a
federal
crime,
we
must
ensure
that
the
constitutional
right
to
protest
is
duly
protected
and
not
threatened
or
stifled
by
law
enforcement
officers.
H
H
I
know
the
biggest
thing
on
your
mind
is
likely
fiscal
recovery
funds
passed
under
the
american
rescue
plan.
Not
only
will
the
american
rescue
plan
cut
child
poverty
in
half,
it
provides
much
needed
financial
relief
to
minnesotans,
but
it
also
provides
funds
to
state
and
local
governments
who
have
been
hit
extremely
hard
by
this
pandemic
and,
as
you
know,
the
city
of
minneapolis
is
due
to
receive
280
million
dollars.
H
In
addition,
hennepin
county
will
receive
240
million
dollars,
while
the
state
has
received
over
2
billion
dollars,
more
and
500
million
dollars
of
which
is
now
solely
in
the
discretion
of
the
governor.
Recently,
the
u.s
department
of
treasury
finally
released
their
interim
final
rule
on
how
the
funds
will
be
distributed
and
what
it
could
be
used
for.
H
Our
communities
need
this
support.
Now
these
funds
should
be
distributed
as
quickly
as
possible
to
those
who
need
them
most,
while
stock
prices
soared
and
wealth
accumulated
in
the
hands
of
fewer
and
fewer
people.
Businesses
have
been
shattered,
people
are
without
work
and
what
little
work
they
can
find
pays
less
and
less.
Many
of
the
biggest
corporations
right
here
in
minneapolis
have
prospered
during
the
last
year,
while
many
of
our
constituents
are
struggling
to
get
by.
H
I
support
spending
these
dollars
on
programs
like
creating
universal
basic
income
pilot
program,
extension
of
our
universal
meals,
access
bill,
free
after
school
care
in
our
parks,
full-time
service,
community
schools,
with
wrap-around
services
right
to
counsel
for
renters
facing
eviction
and
a
minneapolis
renew
deal.
We
need
to
get
these
dollars
in
people's
hands
right
away.
That's
why
I
support
a
pilot
program
for
universal
basic
income
here
in
minneapolis,
similar
to
what
our
neighbors
have
piloted
in
saint
paul.
H
I
don't
have
to
tell
you
how
important
it
is
for
us
not
allow
saint
paul
to
embarrass
us.
As
you
know,
early
in
the
pandemic,
I
passed
the
meals
act
to
provide
free
meals
to
young
people.
I'm
proud
to
report
that
the
usda
has
extended
our
bill
multiple
times,
and
it
is
currently
extended
to
the
end
of
the
2022
school
year.
As
far
as
I'm
concerned,
there
is
no
reason
a
student
in
minneapolis
public
schools
should
ever
have
to
pay
for
school
lunch
again.
This
is
something
that
we
can
do
as
a
city
together.
H
My
office
is
inquiring
about
the
cost
of
providing
fruit
free
child
care
in
our
parks,
which
will
also
provide
jobs
to
young
people.
I
also
support
the
right
to
counsel
for
tenants
facing
eviction
after
meeting
with
you
all
last
year
we
created
our
eviction,
moratorium
and
housing
task
force.
At
the
suggestion
of
council
member
alendro,
cano
we've
been
successful
in
pushing
for
eight
to
renters,
but
we
also
need
to
provide
them
with
the
legal
support
they
need
to
negotiate
with
their
landlords.
H
H
Brooklyn
center
residents
have
had,
since
the
killing
of
dante,
wright
much
of
the
food
that
is
being
that
was
being
distributed
out
of
their
full
service
community
school
hub.
I
encourage
us
in
minneapolis
to
build
out
a
network
of
full-service
schools
and
parks
with
wraparound
services,
because
I
know
we
can
do
it
as
well.
H
We
also
need
to
fund
a
green
new
deal
in
minneapolis,
something
my
task
force
will
discuss
again
later
this
week
in
talking
to
minneapolis
school
educators
and
administrators.
Internet
access
was
one
of
the
many
barriers
many
of
our
constituents.
Faced
last
year.
We
have
the
resources
now
to
permanently
close
the
broadband
access
gap.
H
Creativity
is
specifically
especially
stated
as
the
purpose
of
the
rescue
plan
funds.
In
total,
we
have
the
ability
to
make
a
one
billion
dollar
investment
in
our
city
right
now.
This
is
a
tremendous
opportunity
monday.
I
joined
council
member
jeremiah,
allison
and
representative
esther
abaje
in
north
minneapolis
to
articulate
these
priorities.
H
Now
is
the
time
we
can
join
together
and
connect.
Low-Income
families
to
the
internet
provide
universal
school
meals
forever
and
launch
a
minneapolis
renew
new
deal
spearhead
a
universal
basic
income
pilot
provide
free
after
school
programs
in
our
parks,
expand
full-service
community
schools.
These
are
the
investments
our
communities
are
desperately
looking
for,
but
I
don't
have
all
the
answers.
None
of
us
do.
Last
week
I
met
with
the
city
of
edina
and
they
are
kicking
off
a
public
engagement
effort
to
steer
the
spending
of
their
federal
dollars.
I
encourage
minneapolis
to
do
the
same.
H
Our
office
will
also
be
soliciting
input
throughout
the
month
of
june
on
how
these
dollars
should
be
spent.
We
will
be
releasing
more
information
in
the
coming
weeks.
I
also
hope
to
see
the
city
match
these
federal
dollars
with
city
level
investments.
The
era
of
astros
atrocities
is
over.
Our
legacy
is
not
to
be
defined
by
what
happened
a
year
ago.
It
will
be
defined
by
what
we
do
now
and
how
we
respond
in
order
not
to
repeat
our
mistakes,
we
have
to
quit
doing
things
the
same
old
way.
H
H
When
I
get
discouraged,
sometimes
I
think
about
the
two
women
who
have
inspired
me
in
the
last
year:
minneapolis
firefighter
genevieve
hansen
and
911
dispatcher
jenna
iscari.
They
are
heroes.
These
two
female
city,
employees
who
tried
to
intercede
and
save
george
floyd's
life.
So,
while
yes,
one
city
employee,
is
now
in
prison
for
killing
him.
Let
us
also
remember
the
two
women
who
tried
to
save
his
life.
I
draw
inspiration
from
jenna
and
genevieve.
H
B
Thank
you
so
much
congresswoman
omar.
That
is
a
a
great
report
and
encouragement
and
I
think,
inspiration
for
the
city
and
and
my
colleagues
to
to
build
upon.
I
do
want
to
note
that
we
have
been
joined
by
council
members,
kano
and
osman,
and
so
let
the
record
reflect
that
and
then
I
will
invite
my
colleagues
for
comments
and
or
questions.
A
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
great
to
see
you
congresswoman.
I
just
had
a
question
with
all
of
the
federal
money
coming
in.
I
know
that
there's
been
a
lot
of
talk
about
spending
some
of
this
on
additional
law
enforcement,
and
I
know
that's
been
a
lot
of
debate
on
you
know.
How
do
we
transform
public
safety?
H
There's
a
lot
of
flexibility
and
it's
something
that
we
fought
for
so
that
there
there
aren't
a
lot
of
restrictions
on
the
ways
in
which
municipalities
and
states
and
counties
can
utilize
these
funds.
What
I
will
say
a
council
member
is
that
it
is
at
the
discretion
of
our
municipality
to
decide
what
is
a
priority
for
our
city
and
how
these
extra
federal
funds
that
we
are
receiving
could
be
used
to
address
some
of
the
most
devastating
racial
disparities
that
we
have
in
our
in
our
country.
A
G
So
it's
just
really
notable
and
I
want
to
highlight
how
engaged
your
office
has
been
with
the
city.
So
thank
you.
I
wondered
if
you
could
talk
about
the
future
of
some
of
the
other
proposals
like
the
american
jobs
plan
and
what
we
might
be
able
to
expect
as
far
as
infrastructure
investments,
especially
as
we
consider
our
approach
to
the
american,
the
arpa
dollars.
G
H
H
What
we
are
hoping
for
is
to
have
it
be
done
by
july,
and
then
you
know
we
are
also
working
on
the
federal
budget
as
well.
The
president
just
proposed
a
a
really
massive
increase
in
the
federal
budget,
and
so
there
are
prospects
of
having
real
investments
in
in
in
all
of
these
pieces
of
legislation
that
we'll
be
pushing
through.
H
So
I
encourage
you
and
your
your
colleagues
and
the
mayor
to
utilize
the
dollars
that
you
have
right
now
in
doing
really
bold,
creative
things
on
behalf
of
our
city,
so
that
we
can
continue
to
show
that
as
an
example
and
advocate
for
for
more
dollars.
When
there
is
waste
when
our
communities
aren't
able
to
feel
the
investment,
it
makes
it
hard
for
us
to
advocate
for
more
resources
and
more
dollars
to
come
into
our
community.
G
Thank
you
thanks
for
all
your
advocacy,
I
you
know
I'll
just
say
too
that
binding
administration
has
also
been
incredibly
collaborative
with
local
governments,
and
I
think
we
can
see
you
know
a
direct
line
between
the
conversations
that
we've
been
having
at
the
local
level,
and
we
all
talk
to
our
colleagues
across
the
country
and
we're
facing
a
lot
of
similar
challenges.
We
share
ideas,
and
I
mean
you
can
just
see
all
of
that
showing
up
in
the
different
federal
agencies
and
the
way
they're
approaching
developing
their
programs
and
spending.
G
So
I
I
feel
like
it
is
a
place
of
hope
and
inspiration
where
we
can
see
you
and
others
carrying
our
message
to
to
congress
to
the
federal
government
that
has
so
much
more
resources,
so
much
more
leverage
than
all
of
us
at
the
local
level.
You
know
we're
often
the
first
and
last
stop
for
folks
who
are
in
crisis
and
to
see
their
stories
being
shared.
You
know
with
and
within
our
federal
government
that
has
so
much
more
power
and
resources
is,
is
a
place
of
hope
for
all
of
us.
H
No
thank
thank
you.
I
mean
we,
we
we
all
have
to
do
the
work
on
on
behalf
of
our
shared
constituency
and
as
as
I
I
say
to
all
of
the
municipalities
when
I
present
to
them
you,
you
have
more
fluency
into
the
day-to-day
struggles
of
of
our
constituency,
and
so
it's
really
important
for
us
to
be
in
conversations
constantly
so
that
we
can
deliver
the
best
services
to
them.
B
All
right:
well,
I
put
myself
in
queue
and
you
know
you
talked
about
a
a
task
force
or
an
investigation
team
that
would
look
into
all
police
involved
killings
throughout
the
country,
I'm
wondering
and
and
certainly
in
in
in
reference
to
to
38
in
chicago
that
you
mentioned,
which
is
the
area
that
I
represent,
and
you
know,
there's
24
demands
that
have
been
made.
One
of
those
demands
is
to
to
reopen
and
look
at
past
and
police
involved
shootings.
B
H
Yes,
it
is
our
intention
that
it
would
retroactively
investigate,
but
it
would
also
proactively
investigate.
I
think,
right
now,
with
the
way
that
the
doj
is
set
up.
It
is
a
an
invitation
or
a
national
outcry.
That
brings
them
into
a
municipality
to
to
look
at
the
pattern
and
practices,
and
so
with
this
national
board
that
we
are
pushing
for
they.
That
is
just
their
job.
They
investigate
and
make
recommendations,
and
they
will
have
the
responsibility
of
withholding
federal
resources
from
municipalities.
E
Thank
you
so
much,
and
actually
I
think
my
questions
have
been
answered.
I
just
want
to
pile
on
the
praise.
I
think
your
connection
to
us
and
being
here
today
and
so
consistently
and
your
office
is
deeply
appreciated
and
on
behalf
of
all
the
constituents
that
I
serve
in
the
second
ward,
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
the
work
you're
doing
in
washington
too.
Some
of
the
initiatives
you're
pushing
forward
there
will
have
direct
positive
impacts
on
the
people
of
minneapolis.
E
I
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
all
the
pile
on
the
craze
as
well.
I
wanted
to
specifically
call
out
and
recognize
the
congresswoman's
work
around
the
earmarks
process
and
the
incredible
projects
that
are
so
needed
within
the
community
that
her
advocacy
her
work
in
leadership
is
getting
funding
for
and
those
projects
include
bus,
rapid
transit,
a
pedestrian
bridge,
rebuilding
a
healthcare
clinic,
affordable
housing,
fire
protection
upgrades
a
food
entrepreneur,
incubator,
even
workforce
training,
centers
both
for
our
latinx
community
and
around
clean
energy
careers.
And
so
it's
a
really
impressive
list.
B
And
I
would
just
express
my
gratitude
and
and
thanks
for
the
inclusion
of
the
subanthony
community
center
with
a
with
a
new
roof
as
one
of
those
community
projects.
That
is
also
made
that
list
so
yeah
in
in
the
piling
on
just
thank
you
for
all
the
the
the
critical
support
the
voice
that
you
have
created.
B
I
have
long
been
advocating
for
green
jobs
in
our
city
and
universal
basic
income,
certainly
support
free
lunch
for
our
students
and
and
really
ensuring
that
we
can
make
sure
that
communities
are
are
are
fed.
You
know,
maybe
our
approach
to
affordable
housing
needs
to
be
reevaluated.
Maybe
we
need
to
help
people
afford
the
housing
as
opposed
to
to
putting
money
in
developers
pockets,
as
you
stated
around
building.
J
B
K
Yes,
thank
you
chair
jenkins,
and
members
of
the
committee.
My
name
is
brene
youngs,
I'm
a
policy
and
research
management
analyst
in
the
city
coordinator's
office.
I
have
the
pleasure
of
being
the
contract
manager
for
this
project.
This
is
a
study
that's
being
conducted
by
the
federal
reserve
bank
of
minneapolis.
K
On
our
behalf,
I
will
be
giving
just
a
brief
presentation
update
on
the
status
of
this
project,
and
then
I
will
be
available
to
stand
for
any
questions,
as
will
one
of
the
lead
researchers
who's
joining
us
by
audio
dr
anusha
nath
from
the
the
federal
reserve
bank
is
is
here.
If,
if
you
should
have
any
questions
that
are
too
technical
for
me
about
the
study
itself
in
particular,
can
I
have
the
next
slide?
Please
thank
you.
So,
first
very
briefly,
some
background
on
the
project.
K
Overall,
as
you're
all
well
aware,
the
city
adopted
a
minimum
wage
ordinance
in
2017
that
set
forth
steps
for
gradually
increasing
the
minimum
wage
for
workers
and
firms
in
the
city
to
15
the
current
wage
rates
this
year,
the
for
large
firms,
the
the
wage
is
currently
13
and
25
cents
per
hour.
That
will
increase
on
july
1st
of
this
year
to
14.25
for
small
firms.
The
hourly
wage
is
currently
11.75
cents
per
hour
and
that
will
increase
to
12.50
on
july
1st.
K
This
is
a
really
exciting,
unprecedented
to
my
knowledge,
still
project,
even
though
it's
it's
several
years
underway
now,
and
it
should
hopefully
tell
us
and
policymakers
all
around
the
country
a
lot
about
some
unresolved
questions
and
and
questions
that
have
gotten
a
lot.
I
think
of
political
or
or
non-data
driven
reasoning
and
statements
around
them.
But
this
study
will
will
give
us
some
empirical
evidence
that
will
answer
some
of
the
unresolved
questions
about
what
an
a
minimum
wage
increase
of
this
magnitude
does
to
a
local
economy.
K
You
might
recall
in
in
recent
months,
this
contract
has
been
amended
to
increase
the
length
of
the
contract
period.
That's
because
we
have
some
limitations
on
how
long
a
contract
can
initially
be
set
for
and
and
we
we
always
knew
that
we
wanted
this
contract
to
extend
beyond
up
to
and
beyond
the
year
of,
full
implementation
of
the
ordinance
in
order
to
be
able
to
study
change
at
every
step
of
increases
along
the
way
and
also
to
get
sort
of
a
post
condition,
a
new
baseline
of
economic
conditions,
full
implementation
of
the
ordinance.
K
So
that's
that
is
the
context
that
I'm
bringing
you
I'll
ask
for
the
next
slide.
Please
this
next
slide
talking
about
data
sources
is
not
new
information.
You
saw
in
fact
this
exact
same
content
the
last
time
I
was
here
in
march
of
2020,
but
just
to
refresh
your
memory
about
some
of
the
questions.
We
hope
this
study
will
help
us
answer.
K
We're
hoping
that
data
from
the
state's
department
of
employment
and
economic
development
will
tell
us
something
about
how
much
workers
are
earning
and
from
what
employer.
So,
for
instance,
we're
curious
are
workers
earning
more
overall?
Are
workers
facing
reduced
hours
or
picking
up
additional
jobs
because
of
pressure
on
their
employers
and
firms
will
be
the
fed
folks
will
be
using
data
from
the
state's
department
of
human
services
to
tell
us
about
whether
workers
are
accessing
public
sector
benefits
more
or
differently.
K
So,
for
instance,
are
profit
margins
tighter
for
businesses.
Now
than
they
were
in
prior
years
or
do
revenues
increase
if
more
wages
and
more
dollars
are
secured
in
the
local
economy,
there
are
a
lot
of
research
questions
in
here,
but
those
are
the
kinds
of
things
that
the
research
team
hopes
to
try
and
understand
from
all.
These
different
data
sets
next
slide.
K
What
have
we
done
since
the
spring
of
2020?
We
have
done
some
really.
I
say
we
as
though
this
is
my
work.
Our
colleagues
at
the
federal
reserve
and
their
colleagues
at
state
agencies
have
done
a
lot
of
really
important
work
that
has
moved
very
slowly
because
of
being
in
a
pandemic.
Here
they
were
able,
together
to
finalize
the
security
practices
and
protocols
necessary
and
agree
on
those
practices
and
protocols
to
allow
the
federal
reserve
bank
to
host
all
of
the
data
from
the
state
agencies
on
site.
K
As
you
can
imagine,
data
about
firms,
payroll
and
individual
benefit
provision
and
all
of
those
things
are-
are
very
sensitive
and
very
secure.
Data,
rightly
so,
held
by
the
state,
and
so
there
was
a
lot
of
negotiation
and
planning
that
went
into
just
being
able
to
get
data
in
front
of
the
research
team
and
that
was
further
complicated
by
pandemic,
related
facility
access
and
a
number
of
other
things
that,
if
you're
curious
for
more
detail,
perhaps
dr
nath
can
can
answer
questions
in
a
few
moments.
K
They
also
were
able
to
negotiate
finalize
and
fully
execute
data
sharing
agreements
to
create
the
the
contractual
framework
to
make
the
data
sharing
happen.
Those
two
were
complicated
by
the
state
agencies
in
particular,
needing
to
rightly
so,
prioritize
their
pandemic,
related
emergency
response,
work
and
needed
to
be
able
to
come
back
to
these
data
sharing
agreements
and
finalize
them
after
that,
particularly
that
rush
of
work
in
the
the
middle
two
quarters
of
2020..
K
So
all
of
those
agreements
have
been
fully
executed.
Now,
I
believe,
and
data
sharing
is
underway.
The
federal
reserve
bank
research
team
is
accessing
data,
reviewing
samples
making
sure
that
the
data
is
clean
for
analysis
and
the
transfer
of
final
cleaned
and
reviewed
data
sets
is
now
underway.
That's
something
that
will
be
ongoing
in
this
and
subsequent
years,
but
it
is
moving
now
next
slide.
Please.
K
You
in
a
moment
will
see
there
a
table
this.
This
is
the
most
the
most
new
and
most
concrete
information
of
this
update.
This
gives
you
a
sense
of
when
we
expect
the
federal
reserve
team
to
access
data
from
the
three
state
agencies,
and
so
it
gives
you
a
sense
of
what
they
will
be
analyzing
and
when
particularly
their
ability
to
access
prior
years
of
data,
and
then
we
are
barring,
barring
additional
future
crises
or
other
complicating
factors
we
can.
K
We
can
speculate
anticipate
that
this
sort
of
schedule
of
data
availability
will
continue
through
the
rest
of
the
life
of
the
project,
so,
for
instance,
for
deed,
they
are
likely
to
be
able
to
make
data
available
for
quarters
one
through
three
of
any
given
year
by
the
end
of
quarter,
one
of
the
following
year.
They
have
a
little
bit
of
lag
to
make
sure
their
own
data
is
complete
and
clean
and
to
their
standards,
and
then
fourth
quarter.
Data
will
follow
after
that.
K
That
is
because
of
the
lag
of
firms
reporting
data
to
the
department
of
revenue,
primarily
if
any
of
you
have
ever
filed
an
extension
on
your
personal
or
business
taxes
or
been
part
of
a
non-profit
board
that
requested
an
extension.
You
know
that
the
ultimate
ultimate
extended
filing
deadline
for
department
of
revenue
data
can
be
a
year
or
more
from
the
end
of
the
calendar
year.
That's
being
reported
on
so
that
then
compounds
similar
lags
in
making
sure
within
dor
that
data
are
complete
and
clean
and
prepared
and
ready
to
transfer.
K
We
expect
that
to
be
the
the
deadline
for
the
federal
reserve
team
delivering
to
us
a
combined
report
of
years,
one
two
and
three
of
analysis:
that's
for
years,
2018
to
2020
because
of
the
lag
in
department
of
revenue,
data
that
we
were
just
talking
about.
That
will
be
primarily
a
quantitative
analysis,
using
data
from
deed
and
dhs
to
answer
the
questions
that
they
are
able
to
answer
with
the
data
available
they'll
also
be
providing
an
update
on
qualitative
analysis
that
they
were
able
to
conduct
in
2020
they.
K
The
team
had
always,
I
believe,
planned
to
wrap
around
the
quantitative
data,
with
focus
groups
and
interviews
getting
perspectives
directly
from
workers
and
firms
about
their
experience
because
of
pandemic
conditions
that
truncated
their
ability
to
do.
I
think
as
much
qualitative
work
as
they
were
hoping
to,
but
they
have
vowed
to
share
what
they
have
learned
and
what
they
were
able
to
gather
in
that
first
report
in
november.
K
So
you
will
likely
see
my
smiling
face,
and
hopefully
also
dr
nath's
sometime
early
in
2022,
to
share
that
reporting.
Then,
in
following
years,
we
expect
to
have
a
similar
annual
report
for
the
remainder
of
the
project.
You
see
here
on
the
slide
reporting
for
years
four
through
eight
and
year
ten,
the
gap
in
year.
K
Nine
of
the
contract
period
is
intentional,
because
year
eight
represents
the
first
year
of
data
availability
for
a
year
of
full
implementation
of
the
the
ordinance
so
the
sort
of
immediate
post
condition
and
then
the
final
report
will
be
a
more
long-term
view
so
several
years
after
implementation
and
it
seemed
more
valuable
to
have
those
two
time
points
spread
further.
Apart
than
to
continue
the
annual
longitudinal
work
at
that
point,
and
so
the
final
final
project
deliverable
for
this
contract
will
be
in
october
of
2028.
K
B
C
C
I
want
to
say
that
I
think
we
are
so
fortunate
that
the
federal
reserve
has
come
in
as
our
partners
here.
If
you
recall,
I
believe
this
was
I
I
don't
firmly
recall.
I
think
it
was
a
budget
amendment
that
I
did
that
we
did
in
rfp
and
then
we
were
so
excited
and
enthusiastic
when
the
federal
reserve
came
in
and
offered
us
the
service
for
free
and
had
you
know,
just
a
scope
that
really
met
our
values
and
needs
as
a
city,
you
know
thing
to
answer.
C
B
H
L
G
You
know
when
we
passed
the
minimum
wage,
it
was
enormously
controversial,
and
here
we
are
all
these
years
later,
it's
still
still
not
going
to
be
at
15
an
hour
until
the
year
2027
and
and
again,
you
know
a
lot
of
that
resistance
was
was
based
on
assertions
that
you
know
I,
I
guess
we'll
see
as
as
we
go,
what
the
data
is
going
to
show.
But
again
we
know
we
know
the
outcome
of
the
status
quo.
G
So
thanks
for
the
opportunity
to
to
highlight
that-
and
we
just
recently
had
a
a
cool
meeting
about
data
and
our
city's
use
of
data
to
inform
policymaking,
I
think
we've
made
huge
strides
in
this
area
and
so
many
of
the
staff
both
subject
matter.
Experts
in
the
different
departments,
as
well
as
folks
throughout
the
enterprise.
B
B
G
G
So
first
we
heard
from
peer
cities,
as
you
might
remember,
talking
with
them
about
their
plans
for
arpa
funding.
Many
of
the
cities
that
we
had
included
in
that
presentation
also
are
larger
cities
that
had
gotten
kara'zak
dollars
directly,
so
they
had
some
experience
where
we
were
working
more
in
partnership
with
the
county,
so
we
were
able
to
benefit
from
their
experience
there,
and
I
I'll
note
that
I
believe
councilman
ellison's
office
will
be
sending
a
written
summary
of
these
conversations
after
this
meeting.
G
Council
member
robin
kniech
from
denver,
also
noted
and
talked
about
their
cash
assistance
program
talking
about
how
they
were
implementing
direct
cash
assistance
to
help
struggling
families,
and
she
noted
the
efficiency
of
that
approach.
And
then
representatives
from
seattle
also
noted
that
cash
assistance
has
been
really
effective
for
helping
immigrants
and
refugees.
G
We
also
heard
themes
on
priority
areas
related
to
child
care
and
youth,
housing
and
homelessness
and
workforce
recovery
in
austin.
Truly
early
childhood
centers
are
being
planned
for
empty
school
buildings,
and
the
city
has
a
matching
program
of
the
philanthropic
and
private
sectors
that
will
house
over
3
000,
more
people
in
the
next
three
years.
G
Seattle
has
used
other
relief
funds
to
support
their
city
employees
and
they
are
implementing
eviction,
preventions
and
expanding
hotel,
shelter
capacity,
and
I
know
that
our
staff
are
frequently
talking
to
those
from
other
cities,
including
I'm
sure
these
and
probably
are
having
a
lot
of
those
conversations
at
the
staff
level
as
well.
Sharing
our
experiences
and
learning
from
others.
G
G
So
from
the
university
of
minnesota
panel,
we
heard
themes
around
youth,
homelessness,
housing
and
safety
from
dr
anne
madsen.
We
heard
that
homelessness
is
an
indicator
of
many
other
adversaries
that
adversities
that
can
harm
child
development,
including
poverty,
maltreatment,
violence,
parental
incarceration,
foster
care
discrimination,
all
of
which
have
dramatic
racial
disparities
and
exacerbate
one
another.
From
dr
ed
getz,
we
learned
that
severe
housing
instability
for
families
has
led
to
multiple
families
living
together
in
homes
meant
for
one
family,
also
known
as
doubling
up,
and
that
extreme
overcrowding
has
negative
effects
on
children.
G
G
Andre
dukes
from
the
north
side
achievement
zone
shared
family
surveys
that
indicated
almost
half
of
families
feel
less
safe
than
since
the
murder
of
george
floyd
direct
interview
quotes
from
their
report.
Include,
quote
multiple
shootings
in
the
area:
kids,
don't
feel
safe
outside
or
in
the
home.
They
are
afraid
of
the
police
when
they
see
them
and
quote
just
worrying
about
being
killed
with
no
justice.
G
G
One
quote
she
provided
to
summarize
what
they
had
heard
quote.
You
can't
go
outside
on
the
street
or
take
your
kids
to
the
park
without
being
harassed
by
the
police
and
when
there
was
a
serious
crime
like
a
shooting
or
a
murder,
they
wouldn't
show
up,
but
any
other
day
they'll
show
up
just
to
harass
you
and
racially
profile
you.
So
you
know,
I
don't
really.
I
don't
know
if
they're
there
to
protect
and
serve.
I
don't
feel
that
I
wouldn't
call
them
for
anything.
G
I
know
that
the
chair
is
also
planning,
as
we
sort
of
zoom
down
first
having
heard
from
cities
around
the
country
and
then
hearing
from
local
experts
on
community
needs
to
then
zoom
in
even
more
closely
to
our
city
and
ask
the
question:
how
are
we
doing
at
the
city
enterprise
level
asking
questions
like
how
can
we
effectively
use
rescue
plan
dollars
to
support
our
staff
and
what
hurdles
might
we
face?
Are
we
currently
meeting
our
operational
goals
and
expressed
values
in
our
enterprise?
G
B
M
B
G
Yes,
it
looks
like
it
was
a
significant
part
of
of
a
couple
of
the
presentations,
and
so
I
believe
that
will
be
part
of
their
written
report
and
then
I
know
that
that
each
of
the
present
presenters
had
to
move
very
quickly
and
had
offered
to
follow
up.
So
I'm
sure
that
through
the
chair
of
that
committee,
I
know
that
we
had
been
offered
access
to.
You
know
any
presentations
or
research
that
they
had
shared,
and
I
know
that
dr
lewis
hadn't
been
able
to
join
us.
B
N
Thank
you
I'm
doing
well.
Thank
you,
council
vice
president
jenkins
and
thank
you
council,
president
bender
for
grounding
us
in
all
the
work
that
you
guys
have
done
already
hearing
about
what
other
localities
are
doing
and
thinking
about
for
the
american
rescue
plan.
What
I'm
hoping
to
accomplish
today
is
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
legislation
as
a
whole.
N
So
we're
gonna
start
by
talking
about
big
picture.
What
is
the
american
rescue
plan?
What
were
the
goals
of
this
legislation?
Talk
about
the
treasury
guidelines
which
were
released
last
week
and
we've
been
digging
into
and
then
end
with
some
discussion
about
what
that
means
in
minneapolis.
What
work
has
staff
done
to
date
to
prepare
and
what
our
next
steps
look
like
so
go
ahead
and
go
to
the
next
slide,
and
then
I
will
invite
director
moore
if
she's
here.
L
O
The
coronavirus
state
and
local
fiscal
recovery
fund
was
distinctly
different
from
aids
that
local
governments
received
when
the
kirsak
dollars
was
was
passed
last
year
and
there
was
a
lot
of
advocacy
to
ensure
that
local
governments
were
able
to
receive
funding
directly
to
them
without
having
to
go
through
their
legislature,
as
we
did
when
we
received
our
our
portion
of
the
karasaki
dollars
last
year.
So
you
know
lots
of
advocacy
again.
O
O
on
may
10th,
the
treasury
department
provided
clear,
clear
guidance
as
to
how
these
dollars
can
be
used.
Everyone
was
essentially
awaiting
the
interpretation
of
the
legislation
by
the
treasury
department,
and
that
is
what
we
we
received
on
may
10.
It's
been
coined
the
interim
final
rule
interim
in
the
sense
that
they
are
gathering
feedback,
seeking
lots
of
questions
that
other
local
jurisdiction
states.
Cities
have
around
use
of
funds
still
and
then
we'll
be
putting
out
some
additional
information
about
this
missing
gaps.
O
G
M
Thank
you,
director
moore.
Could
you
or
the
budget
staff
member
on
the
call
here
amelia?
Could
you
either
of
you
speak
a
little
bit
more
to
the
fill
the
revenue
shortfalls
part,
if
I'm
understanding
that
correctly,
that
relates
to
the
city
of
minneapolis
losing
significant
amounts
of
tax
revenue
over
the
last
year
and
a
half
or
so
relating
to
the
the
pandemic,
and
perhaps
other
issues
related
to
the
pandemic?
Could
you
talk
more
about
what
that
really
means?
N
I
think
councilman
vicano
I'll
just
say
that
we
are
planning
to
discuss
that
there's
a
lot
of
detail
in
the
guidance
as
well
as
some
mysteries
still
left.
So
I
think,
if
it's
all
right,
I
will
pass
it
back
to
director
moore
and
we,
the
topic
of
revenue
loss,
is
definitely
covered
in
our
presentation.
O
O
Through
these
fiscal
recovery
funds,
as
well
as
congresswoman
omar
stated,
the
state
is,
is
expected
to
receive
approximately
2.8
billion
dollars.
So
that's
going
to
the
governor
and
the
legislature
for
them
to
essentially
figure
out
how
they
are
going
to
be
using
these
funds.
I
will
note
that
500
million
dollars
is
what
was
agreed
upon
by
legislative
leaders,
so
the
governor,
the
senate
majority
leader
and
the
speaker
of
the
house
that
gives
the
governor
discretion
over
500
million
dollars
of
the
2.8
billion
dollars.
O
O
In
addition,
hennepin
county,
also
is
receiving
the
direct
direct
funding
as
well,
so
they
will
be
re,
they
will
be
receiving
about
245
million
and
then
the
minneapolis
public
school
also
approximately
160
million,
to
help
again
with
some
of
those
needs
that
were
noted
in
the
in
the
previous
slide.
Congresswoman
omar
did
note
quite
a
few
other
pieces
of
legislation
that
are
still
in
play
at
the
federal
government
and
they
are
noted
here,
but
I
I
won't
review
them
again
and
instead
we'll
go
to
the
next
slide.
O
Additionally,
it's
to
address
the
economic
hardships
that
communities
and
and
businesses
and
families
have
experienced
because
of
the
kobit
19
pandemic.
It
is
also
to
address
some
of
the
revenue
losses
so
to
congress
to
council
member
kanos
a
question
regarding
revenue
revenue
loss.
It
is,
it
is
intended
to
help
provide
public
service.
So
you
could
you
could
assess
your
revenue
loss
to
the
extent
of
what
your
revenue
loss
was
in
previous
years,
and
the
director
emilia
kruger
is
going
to
go
into
more
details
about
that.
O
We'll
say
stay
on
this
slide
because,
as
you
look
at
the
public
health
category
here,
the
the
guidance
also
lays
out
a
little
bit
more
in
in
depth
additional
information
about
how
you
could
use
these
dollars
to
respond
to
the
public
health
needs.
So
obviously
cobit,
19
mitigation
and
containment
is
is
a
is
a
really
important
use.
O
In
addition
to
that,
some
of
the
medical
expenses
that
could
be
covered
with
the
use
things
like
providing
care
to
short
and
long
for
the
short
and
long
term
effects
of
the
covid
19..
So
as
we're
still
understanding
the
implications
of
the
covet
19
pandemic
on
an
individual's
long-term
health.
You
could
use
some
of
these
dollars
to
look
at
how
you
can
either
track
or
support
some
of
those
initiatives.
O
The
dollars
can
also
be
used
for
behavioral
health
care,
so
either
things
like
new
or
enhanced
services
to
meet
the
growing
mental
health
needs,
the
growing
substance,
abuse,
support
and
then
other
kinds
of
behavioral
health
needs
as
an
impact
of
the
covenanting
pandemic
again
and
then.
Lastly,
under
the
the
public
health
category,
public
health
and
safety
staff,
so
ensuring
that
there
is
an
an
emphasis
on
them
as
well
as
they
have
been
one
of
the
frontline
workers
who
have
been
helping
to
mitigate
slow
and
and
and
really
stifle
the
spread
of
the
pandemic.
O
So
things
like
assistance
with
job
and
training
for
unemployed
workers,
assistance
for
food
housing,
utility
costs,
again
internet
access
for
assistance
for
survivor,
benefits
of
family
members
who
who
may
have
for
families
who
who
may
have
have
lost
lost
loved
ones
because
of
the
kovic
19
pandemic.
These
are
kind
of
the
the
things
that
are
that
could
be
used
I'll
pause
there,
because
I
see
that
interior,
your
your
camera
is
on
and
then
I
believe,
there's
a
question
as
well.
G
G
O
N
Thank
you,
director,
moore
and
council
president
bender.
That
is
a
question
I
can
answer
very
clearly
in
the
guidance
that
says,
bringing
back
staffing
levels
to
2019,
bringing
back
staff
to
2019
levels
is
authorized
use
of
arp
dollars.
We've
done
a
little
bit
of
work
to
determine
sort
of
what
would
that
cost
look
like
if
we
were
to
unfreeze
all
positions
city-wide
using
arp
dollars
alone?
G
Thank
you.
That
is
very
helpful
from
an
eligibility
question.
Obviously,
then,
the
next
question
is:
how
long
can?
How
long
do
we
think
the
economic
impacts
of
coven
will
be
in
place?
What
do
we
think
our
tax
levy
is
going
to
be
in
the
next
three
to
five
years
and
what
level
of
staffing
do
we
think
we
can
sustain
beyond
the
pieces
of
you
know
beyond
this
window
of
funding?
So
I'll
guess
I
just
as
a
policymaker
want
to
acknowledge
that
I
see
you
nodding
as
the
person
in
charge
of
doing
that
five-year
planning.
O
Question,
if
no
other
questions,
I
will
continue
again
looking
at
some
of
the
the
equity
focus
services
that
could
could
be
provided
under
under
the
the
local
local
fiscal
recovery
fund.
There
is
a
recognition
that
the
impact
of
covet-
and
this
is
clearly
stated
in
the
guidance
again
there
are
a
lot
of
areas
in
which
they
really
center
racial
equity
in
determining
how
you're,
using
these
these
funds.
O
O
When
now,
as
I,
as
I
say
that
you
know
there
are,
there
are
several
questions
that
have
been
have
been
asked
of
the
treasury
department
to
provide
additional
clarity
so
again,
coming
in
july,
is
when
we
we
expect
some
of
these
questions
to
be
clarified
more.
But
at
the
moment
this
is
still
the
framework
that
we
we
have
to
to
work
within
moving
on
to
premium
pay
for
essential
employees
again.
O
And
with
that
again,
as
I
said
that
the
broadband
piece
is
very
narrow,
so
you
know
again
delivering
clean,
clean
water
and
then
a
reliable
broadband
and
internet
access
are
one
of
those.
Those
uses
I'll
now
go
back
up
to
the
revenue
loss
piece,
because
the
guidance
states
that
recipients
may
use
use
these
funds
to
provide
government
services
to
the
extent
of
the
reduction
in
revenue
experience
due
to
the
covet
19
health
pandemic,
and
that's
that
sort
of
great
gray
area
that
director
kruver
alluded
to
that.
O
We
still
need
to
sort
of
suss
out
with
the
treasury
and
understand
exactly
what
markers
they
are
using,
how
they're
measuring
it
so
that
we
can
ensure
that
we
are
in
line
with
our
interpretation
as
well.
Revenue
loss
is
calculated
relative
to
the
expected
trend
as
well,
so
they
they
go
on
to
provide
some
additional
guidance
on
recipients.
May
recalculate
revenue
loss
at
multiple
points
during
the
program
recognizing
that
revenue
loss
may
occur,
with
the
lag
as
well
so
again
like
not
not
a
very
clear,
clear
guidance.
O
N
Thank
you
perfect,
so
I'm
going
to
just
talk
through
a
little
bit
about
what
we
can
take
away
from
this
guidance
as
it
applies
to
minneapolis
we've.
Also,
my
staff
in
finance,
as
well
as
other
folks
in
the
city,
have
been
participating
in
a
lot
of
virtual
convenings
of
national
groups,
so
we've
gotten
to
hear
from
folks
at
treasury,
as
well
as
folks
in
the
biden
administration,
about
what
they,
what
their
intent
was
behind.
N
The
guidance
that
they've
released
so
far,
and
one
key
takeaway,
I
think,
is
the
federal
government
wants
to
avoid
the
slow
recovery
that
we
saw
in
the
last
recession,
and
so
their
their
assumption
is
that
local
government
austerity
is
what
led
to
that
slow
recovery.
They
want
to
try
and
avoid
that
with
this,
which
is
why
you'll
see
in
a
lot
of
guidance
that
explicitly
encourages
spending
money
rather
than
storing
away
for
replenishing
rainy
day
funds,
revenue
loss,
which
is
a
a
hot
topic.
N
What
is
still
a
mystery
is
exactly
what
how
much
flexibility
we
have
for
revenue
loss
spending
so
in
the
guidance
general
government
services
is,
is
pretty
much
as
detailed
as
we
get
about
what
we
can
use
and
count
towards
revenue
loss
staffing
is
explicitly
called
out,
is
okay,
but
questions
still
exist
around.
Does
this
need
to
be
something
that
we
would
have
spent
the
dollars
on
before?
N
N
Looking
at
low
and
medium
wage
workers
for
premium
pay,
so
that
was
something
that
was
just
much
clearer
in
these
the
guidance
that
was
released
recently,
spending
that
is
explicitly
prohibited,
just
as
as
director
moore
stated,
failing
reserves
or
rainy
day
funds.
So
in
minneapolis
we
did
use
cash
balances
to
make
it
through
2020,
and
so
we
will
not
be
able
to
simply
put
that
money
back
in
the
bank.
There's
lots
that
we
can
use
the
money
on,
and
so
you
know
we
will
have
more
conversations
about.
N
What's
the
best
way
to
spend
the
stall
these
dollars
to
restore
our
city's
financial
health
spending
on
debt
service
is
also
explicitly
prohibited
and
legal
settlements,
and
then
the
last
point
I'll
make
is
that
with
the
interim
final
rule,
that
comes
with
a
60-day
comment
period.
So
in
the
guidance
the
treasury
department
has
explicitly
asked
questions
of
folks,
they're
soliciting
comments
and
feedback,
and
so
at
the
end
of
60
days,
which
will
be,
I
think,
middle
of
july,
they
will
be
responding
to
those
to
some
of
those
questions
and
offering
further
clarification.
N
N
There
is
tension
between
getting
money
quickly
out
the
door
to
address
urgent
needs
and
doing
more
extensive
public
engagement,
as
well
as
aligning
resources
with
those
other
jurisdictions
that
are
getting
a
sizable
amount
of
money
from
this.
This
legislation
too,
so
to
the
extent
that
we
want
to
partner
with
mps
or
with
the
county
or
with
the
state
those
that
decision
making
process
is
likely
going
to
happen
later
in
the
year.
So,
the
more
time
we
take
to
decide
the
more
opportunities
there
might
be
to
partner
with
our
neighboring
jurisdictions,
ongoing
spending.
N
So
some
of
the
work
that
my
team
is
doing
right
now
around
the
2022
budget
is
going
to
be
taking
a
look
at
what
those
revenues.
What
a
solid
projection
for
revenues
looks
like
over
the
next
five
years
and
then
just
to
reiterate,
we
will
be
getting
additional
detail
and
guidance
mid
to
late
summer
this
year.
That
will
help
us
answer.
N
You
know
give
more
definition
to
the
gray
areas
that
we've
brought
up
today
and
then
just
the
last
is
the
logistical
piece
these
the
dollars
are
coming.
We've
been
assured
that
there
won't
be
a
change
in
the
total
amount,
but
they
are
coming
in
two
chunks,
so
we
only
have
135.5
of
the
total
271
right
now
we'll
get
the
rest
of
it
a
year
from
now
going
to
go
the
next
line.
B
N
N
So
some
of
the
work-
that's
happened
already
at
the
city,
so
back
in
february
we
organized
working
groups
with
folks
that
are
addressing
subject
matter.
Experts
that
are
really
working
in
the
city's
programs
that
address
specific
needs
that
could
be
could
be
addressed
through
funding
around
arp,
and
so
those
groups
have
focused
on
housing
and
homelessness,
economic
rebuilding,
public
health
and
climate
public
safety,
as
well
as
city
capacity
and
performance,
and
so
those
cross-department
groups
have
been
working
to
just
generate
proposal.
Ideas
for
the
arp
process.
N
N
N
So
right
now,
I
know
there's
some
work
being
done
to
finalize
the
the
council
amendment
process
and
those
dates
I
think
over
the
summer
there
is
an
opportunity
to
do
further
community
engagement
and
then
in
in
phase
two
we're
still
sort
of
working
out.
What
is
a
good
process
for
dealing
with
the
majority
of
these
funds?
How
do
we
make
sure
that
we're
spending
ongoing
money
in
a
sustainable
way
and
how
are
we
working
with
our
partners?
G
G
I've
tried
to
be
honest,
and
this
may
be
something
for
all
of
you
to
consider
who
may
plan
to
volunteer
for
this
role
next
term,
my
office
with
my
two
staff,
who
also
serve
ward
10.
I
have
offered,
and
I'm
very
happy
and
willing
to
chair
any
special
meetings
that
are
needed
to
attend
those
to
participate
in
them
to
do
the
extra
work
of
chairing
them.
My
two
staff-
and
I
are
not
able
to
you-
know,
facilitate
the
scheduling
of
a
bunch
of
extra
meetings
with
12
council
offices.
G
We
just
don't
have
that
administrative
capacity
in
my
office.
So
if
the
clerk
or
finance
or
the
mayor's
office
have
that
capacity,
we
may
be
able
to
move
more
quickly
than
simply
trying
to
rely
on
my
office
with
its
two
staff.
I
I
don't
know
what's
in
the
mayor's
proposal,
and
I
look
forward
to
seeing
it.
G
It
has
been
my
recommendation
that
we
all
just
really
be
honest
about
the
capacity
of
of
the
mayor's
office,
the
finance
department,
the
clerk's
office,
to
really
support
and
facilitate
that
process,
and
my
office
always
ends
up.
You
know
stepping
in
and
helping
support
the
council
side
and
the
council
office.
But
I
do
just
need
to
be
honest
about
our
capacity
and
we
do
not
have
the
capacity
in
my
office
to
you
know.
Take
the
lead
on
scheduling
special
counsel
meetings.
G
G
So
that
I'm
happy
to
answer
questions,
and
I
don't
know
who
else
is
here.
You
know
from
the
clerk's
office
for
the
logistics
side
and
those
kinds
of
things.
So
I
guess
I
would,
and
by
just
providing
that
final
sort
of
heads
up
that
sounds
like
the
mayor's
office
will
be
sending
a
proposal
late
next
week.
It
sounds
like
council
members
may
need
to
try
to
be
flexible
in
june
to
schedule
some
special
meetings
through
the
clerk's
office.
G
B
A
B
A
C
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
just
want
to
offer
my
interests
and
ability
to
partner
if
others
don't
have
capacity.
I
was
part
of
a
conversation
with
the
mayor's
office
and
council
member
ellison
yesterday
to
discuss
you
know
how
that
timing
and
how
that
process
would
work
he's
not.
I
don't
know
if
council
member
ellison
would
want
to
talk
about
that,
because
these
things
seem
like
they
will
end
up
being
transacted
mostly
through
his
committee,
but
I
want
to
remind
my
colleagues
that
we
did
this
last
year
with
the
covid
budget.
C
B
G
G
They
had
not
set
their
process
or
timeline,
partly
because
we
had
to
rely
so
much
on
the
county
during
the
cares
act
process
for
better
or
for
worse,
we've
developed
a
very
close
relationship
with
the
county
in
recovery,
and
I
think
it
will
be
helpful
to
understand
from
chair
green
and
her
colleagues
and
then,
of
course,
at
the
staff
level
as
well.
How
we
may
coordinate
and
leverage
the
funds
in
arpa.
So
it
will
be
helpful.
G
I
do
you
know.
I
appreciated
director
moore's
emphasis
on
the
recovery
as
far
as
both
the
guidance
and
our
own
city
goals
around
equity,
and
I
think
that
we
know
that
that
urgency
is
one
of
the
markers
of
a
culture
of
white
supremacy,
and
so
I
think
that
we
have
to
be
just
really
careful
when
we
are
operating
within
systems
that
are
designed
and
for
so
many
years
to
really
benefit.
G
Perpetuating,
I
think,
perpetuating
white
supremacy
and
perpetuating
privilege
that
we
just
really
do
have
to
balance
our
our
goals
with
our
process.
And
again
I
I
think
you
know
a
four-week
process
is
also
very
quick
for
a
community
who
is
hurting
and
devastated
to
to
engage.
I'm
not
sure
how
much
five
business
days
really
affects
our
ability
to
meet
our
goals
or
not.
G
G
B
P
Thank
you,
council.
Vice
president,
I
I
just
wanted
to
echo
what
I
think
a
lot
of
my
colleagues
are
saying.
I
know
all
of
us
are
working
to
try
to
be
able
to
move
with
urgency.
I
you
know
I've
scheduled
meetings
in
my
ward
to
try
to
hear
from
people
about
what
their
priorities
are
and
make
sure
that
we
have
an
opportunity
for
there
to
be
community
feedback,
and
community
engagement
is
a
part
of
this
process.
I
know
others
are
doing
the
same.
P
It
is
hard
because,
as
we
heard
in
the
presentation
today,
which
was
very
helpful
by
the
way,
there
are
still
aspects
of
this
that
we're
still
seeking
guidance
on.
So
we
can't
fully
put
the
question
to
community
in
an
accurate
way
as
we're
simultaneously
still
trying
to
find
out
what
the
question
is
about,
how
we're
able
to
use
this
and
what
the
constraints
are
on
the
process.
So
this
is
a
moving
target.
P
I
know
that
we're
all
moving
with
purpose
and-
and
you
know,
clarity
about
the
need
to
get
this
out
with
some
efficiency.
I
do
think
that
this
is
a
very,
very
short
timeline
for
people
to
be
able
to
make
that
response,
and
I
think
it's
important
for
us
as
the
representatives
of
the
small
geographic
units
who
can
bring
our
local
perspectives
to
this
conversation,
to
stand
up
for
community
engagement
as
a
part
of
this
process
and
to
make
sure
that
our
constituents
do
get
a
chance
to
weigh
in.
D
A

E
Sorry,
but
please
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
comment
on
four.
This
was
the
renter
protections
ordinance,
it's
really
the
fair
notice.
I
moved
it
forward
without
recommendation.
I
think
it
would
have
passed
unanimously,
but
we
heard
at
the
public
hearing
a
lot
of
people
thinking.
The
14-day

was
not
adequate.

a
minneapolis

access
and
breach
investigations.
Audit.
This
was
something
that
we
were
asked
to
do
by
way
of
a
civil
case
that
we
were
involved
in
and
out
of
it.
Our
auditor
was
able
to
report
that
we
have
a
a
fairly
clean
bill
of
health
in
this
department.
C
There
was
one
issue
or
recommendation
that
was
resolved
before
the
end
of
the
audit,
so
we
have
a
good,
documented
process
in
place
here,
other
than
that
we
heard
the
report
of
the
internal
auditor
on
all
the
different
competing
priorities
and
some
of
the
projects
that
he'd
like
to
get
done
by
the
end
of
the
year
and
beyond.
So
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions,
but
we
won't
be
bringing
any
of
these
forward
for
review
at
the
council
meeting.
Thank
you.
