Description

A
D
D
D
I
will
also
note
that
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
minnesota
open
meeting
laws.
At
this
time.
I
would
ask
the
clerk
to
call
the
role
to
verify
the
presence
of
a
quorum.
F
C
G
C
D
Let
the
record
reflect
that
we
do
have
a
quorum.
Colleagues
before
we
get
into
our
agenda.
I
want
to
just
take
a
moment
to
recognize
a
a
very
significant
event
that
we
learned
about
this
week:
the
united
states
census
and
the
fact
that
minnesota
was
able
to
retain
its
eight
congressional
representatives
or
apportionment
as
it
were,
and
just
really
proud
of
the
efforts
that
all
of
our
city,
staff
and
community
members
put
in
what
this
census
means
is.
D
You
know
it
guides
the
distribution
of
more
than
eight
billion
federal
dollars
to
the
state
of
minnesota
each
year.
That
equates
to
fifteen
hundred
and
thirty
two
dollars
per
minnesotan
per
year,
every
10
years.
There
are
challenges
for
our
country
getting
to
a
complete
and
accurate
count
of
all
of
its
resonance
with
the
2020
census.
We
faced
a
ridiculous
number
of
challenges.
Some
anticipated
many
not
expected
when
the
city
set
out
to
do
our
work
on
the
census.
D
D
D
I
know
you
all
did
so
much
work.
There
was
so
much
work
done
along
the
way
from
arrow
and
and
his
team
conducting
the
local
updates
of
the
census
addresses
the
fire
inspectors
confirming
mailing
addresses
again:
casey
carl
and
his
team,
using
the
elected
election
guys
and
americorps
vistas
interviewing
community
leaders,
jody
and
cassidy
from
the
civil
rights
and
the
vista
workers
in
the
coordinator's
office.
D
Creating
a
beautiful
experience
at
the
community
connections
conference
that
I
mentioned
earlier
katie
and
the
I.t
team
setting
up
the
tablets
and
hot
spots
and
trusted
spaces
throughout
the
city.
So
people
could
complete
the
census
again
our
ncr
staff
and
desert
land
and
track,
and
so
many
other
cities
have
hosting
countless
of
discussions
in
in
places
and
spaces
in
all
corners
throughout
the
city.
D
The
council
established
a
complete
count
committee
that
included
several
community
partners
and
leaders
too
many
to
list
here
today,
but
just
want
to
give
a
special
shout
out
to
all
of
those
community
groups
that
helped
to
make
this
happen.
In
addition
to
the
city,
staff
and
community
partners,
city
worked
closely
with
other
governmental
partners,
centering
our
residents
and
the
people
we
worked
together.
We
leveraged
resources
we
partnered
and
coordinated
across
our
government
systems.
D
So
today
we
see
the
outcome
of
these
efforts
minnesota
held
on
to
our
eight
congressional
seats
by
89
people,
and
each
of
us
were
responsible
for
those
89
people.
Every
vote
counts
everybody
matters
and
we
did
it.
So
just
really
want
to
take
a
moment
to
recognize
these
extraordinary
efforts,
and
this
will
have
a
significant
impact
on
the
city
of
minneapolis
for
the
next
decade.
It's
going
to
determine
how
our
wards
are
re-um
calibrated,
as
well
as
the
resources
that
that
I
talked
about
at
the
top
of
this.
D
H
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
really
appreciate
that
very
thoughtful
update
and
I
wanted
to
just
simply
make
a
motion
to
amend
today's
agenda
to
include
a
staff
direction
that
was
emailed
to
all
of
our
colleagues
yesterday
by
the
clerk's
office,
and
it
is
the
hiawatha
maintenance
facility,
campus
expansion
staff
direction
co-authored
by
council.

president

D
J
Hi,
sorry,
I
was
having
tech
problems
for
a
second
there.
I'm
just
wondering
if
someone
can
explain
why
we're
walking
this
on
this
cycle.
Instead
of
having
the
conversation,
that's
scheduled
at
biz
next
week,
it's
just
I'm
confused
about
the
urgency
and
the
the
need
to
walk
something
on
like
this.
That
has
been
this
much
topic
of
conversation.
I'm.
J
I
understand
that
the
conversation
is
going
to
happen
and
that
it's
something
that
we
should
have
in
a
robust
and
public
way,
but
having
not
noticed
this
conversation
that
doesn't
feel
like
the
best
way
to
do
that,
and
I'm
just
I'm
wondering
if
one
of
the
authors
can
provide
some
insight
about
why
it
absolutely
has
to
happen
today
as
opposed
to
bringing
it
forward
through
the
process
and
putting
it
on
the
agenda.
The
way
we
typically.
H
Okay,
my
laptop
is
saying
that
I
am
muted
still,
even
though
I
clearly
hit
on
mute
sure,
yeah
I'd
be
happy
to
entertain.
Councilmember
fletcher's
concerns.
I
think
many
of
us
know
this
project
and
certainly
it's
been
a
project.
That's
been
a
long
time
in
the
body
of
the
work
of
the
city
council,
not
in
a
in
a
very
pacific
light.
H
The
the
the
place
itself
where,
where
it
is,
is
an
overburdened
community
that
has
been
awaiting
for
justice
for
a
long
time,
and
so
I
think
that
the
co-authors
who
brought
this
motion
together,
discussed
this
at
length
over
the
past.
You
know
a
couple
of
weeks
and
and
have
been
examining
the
issue
together
for
multiple
years.
H
In
that
several
of
us
are,
you
know,
returning
council
members
who
have
been
working
on
this
project
for
for
a
while,
and
so
we
really
reflected
on
the
moment
that
we're
in
in
our
city
this
reckoning
with
the
truth
and
reconciliation
that
has
to
happen
in
minneapolis
to
recognize
the
structural
violence
that
we
have
either
consciously
or
subconsciously
unleashed
onto
our
communities.
And
this
is
one
of
those
issues,
and
so
we
knew
that
making
sure
this
project
was
able
to
be
discussed
fully
with.
D
K
Thanks,
madam
chair-
and
you
know,
I
can
appreciate
that
at
times
we
we
get
a
lot
of
communication
and
feedback
and
that
you
know
one
of
our
goals
is
always
to
be
responsive
to
constituents.
I
do
think
it
is
too
bad
to
have
this
discussion
outside
the
context
of
any
information
from
staff.
Who've
been
working
on
this
project
for
so
many
years
that
could
help
ground
the
discussion
and
some
information
about
the
project.
We
did
have
a
presentation
at
tpw,
this
cycle
that
was
able
to
give
some
information
about
the
project.
K
But
of
course
a
lot
of
you
know.
Council
members
are
not
on
that
committee.
It
may
not
be
familiar
with
with
the
information
that
was
provided.
So
I
guess
just
echoing
some
of
the
concern
about
removing
this
discussion
from
from
the
work
that
has
been
occurring
over
the
past
many
years
on
this
project.
L
M
N
C
N
C
O
P
She
has
served
on
numerous
committees
and
task
forces,
and
I
was
pleased
to
be
able
to
serve
with
her
on
the
iaeo
executive
board.
Rebecca
has
always
stood
out
among
her
peers
as
a
leader
in
the
mass
appraisal,
industry,
she's,
very
knowledgeable.
A
mass
appraisal
always
progressive
and
keeps
herself
very
well
educated
and
informed.
P
P
One
of
her
many
great
attributes
I
found
is
her
ability
to
listen
to
all
sides
and
always
showing
genuine
care
and
concern
for
everyone
involved.
She's.
Also
a
great
problem
solver,
who
thoroughly
studies
the
issues
before
making
decisions
rebecca,
is
always
kind
and
generous
to
all
and
looks
forward
towards
what's
best
for
the
people
and
the
organizations
she
serves.
P
One
of
I
double
laos
standards
is
for
assessors
to
be
fair
and
equitable.
She
truly
is
fair
and
equitable
in
everything
she
does,
whether
she's
assessing
properties
or
dealing
with
people
rebecca
is
one
of
the
finest
assessors
I
know
and
an
even
better
person.
She
would
be
a
terrific
asset
to
any
jurisdiction
and
I'd
certainly
highly
recommend
and
endorse
her
as
your
next
city.
Assessor.
P
D
A
Sorry
about
that,
madam
chair,
I
hope
you
can
hear
me
at
this
point.
Thank
you
very
much.
I'm
madam
sharon.
Council
members.
I'm
wade
patterson,
I'm
the
current
president-elect
of
the
international
association
of
assessing
officers
or,
as
president
mchenry
just
said,
I
double
ao
and
it's
definitely
my
honor
to
speak
with
you
today
regarding
the
possible
appointment
of
rebecca
bomquist
as
your
minneapolis
city,
assessor,
as
greg
stated,
rebecca's
been
so
involved
with
our
work
at
the
international
association.
A
A
Instead
of
just
that,
one
rebecca
ran
for
and
won
a
position
on
the
iwa
board,
as
greg
mentioned
from
2018
to
2020..
We
both
had
the
honor
of
serving
with
rebecca
on
the
board
of
directors.
Her
leadership
and
communication
skills
benefited
the
iwa
membership
in
ways
that
will
will
just
feel
for
years
one
of
her
first
tasks
when
she
became
a
board
member.
I
was
to
help
establish
the
u40
group,
the
under
40s,
because
we
were
an
older
graying
group
and
we
needed
younger
input
and
rebecca
definitely
led
that
initiative.
A
I
believe
that
when
you
appoint
rebecca
as
the
minneapolis
city
assessor,
the
citizens
of
minneapolis
will
have
an
assessor
with
the
utmost
integrity
and
professionalism.
You,
the
council,
will
have
one
of
the
best
educated
assessors
anywhere
and
through
her
work
at
iwa,
our
profession
will
be
lifted
even
to
greater
heights.
M
She
is
an
outstanding
person
and
really
really
takes
to
heart
thinking
about.
I
know
we
seem
to
be
numbers,
people,
but
thinking
and
caring
about
the
impacts
of
decisions
that
we
make.
So
I'll.
Be
brief
in
my
comments,
as
everybody
has
been
saying
that
telling
you
the
same
thing,
the
last
couple
speakers
from
the
international
but
from
the
minnesota
side,
as
as
the
sitting
president,
I
would
like
to
endorse
rebecca
malmquist,
as
you
guys
look
to
make
your
decision
for
the
next
city
assessor.
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
M
Q
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
for
allowing
me
to
speak
on
behalf
of
rebecca
balmquist
to
be
the
next
city,
assessor
for
your
great
city
of
minneapolis.
My
name
is
daryl
mohler.
I
am
the
current
mille
lacs
county
assessor,
and
I
am
the
immediate
past.
President
of
the
minnesota
association
of
assessing
officers
mwao
19
years
ago
is
when
I
joined
the
the
profession
of
the
assessors,
and
shortly
thereafter
I
became
a
member
of
mwao.
Q
Q
Eventually
she
stepped
down
from
that
position
and
she
became
our
membership
coordinator,
which
he
still
holds
today
and
right
now,
minnesota
is
near
100
percent
of
the
assessors
in
minnesota
as
being
a
member
of
mwao,
and
we
could
not
have
reached
those
types
of
goals
without
the
help
of
rebecca
she's,
an
instructor
for
some
of
our
classes,
one
of
them
the
main
one
that
I'd
like
to
is
a
is
a
leadership
course,
which
you
know
she
she
is.
You
know,
abounds
with
leadership
in
in
what
she
does.
Q
She's
also
held
the
presidents
of
region,
nine,
which
includes
the
seven
county
metro
area,
so
she's
been
president,
and
I
just
think
that
rebecca
has
showed
her
leadership
to
me
through
mwao
and
I
think
she's
ready
to
lead
the
assessor's
office
for
the
city
of
minneapolis,
and
so
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
for
your
time.
I
wish
rebecca
the
best,
and
I
know
that
she's
going
to
do
awesome
work.
Thank
you.
D
R
R
I
am
the
currently
serving
I'm
currently
serving
as
the
elected
property
appraiser
in
palm
beach
county
florida
and
have
been
in
the
public
assessment
world
for
over
30
years.
I
served
as
iwao
president
in
2018
and
just
so
you're
aware.
Iwao
is
a
7
000
member
public
assessment
association,
and
it's
really
through
that
association.
I
got
to
work
with
a
rebecca
who,
as
you
can
hear,
has
been
a
leader
both
in
her
state
association
and
in
our
national
and
international
association.
R
I
will
also
point
out,
besides
all
the
things
that
my
peers
have
mentioned,
she
has
received
numerous
awards
from
iwa,
including
member
of
the
year
in
2018..
She
really
has
contacts
and
connections
throughout
the
nation
and
the
world.
In
fact,
in
the
assessment
field,
she's
also
a
great
ideas
person
bringing
new
initiatives
to
iwa
wade
mentioned
the
women's
initiative,
which
really
was
conceived
by
her
as
an
effort
to
reach
out
to
the
female
members
of
our
association.
R
Our
profession
is
quite
heavily
male
dominated.
That
is
shifting,
and
I
do
think
that
part
of
that
effort
is
through
rebecca's
work.
She
has
really
provided
opportunities
initially
for
focus
groups
and
conference
presentations.
That
has,
and
has
now
evolved
the
women's
initiative
into
sold
out
luncheon
events.
R
Every
year
takes
a
huge
local
presence
of
volunteers
and
rebecca
coordinated,
a
group
of
over
100
state
assessment
volunteers
to
make
the
event
a
success,
and
I
have
to
say,
I
enjoyed
a
great
deal
being
in
your
city
and
rebecca
made
sure
that
the
attendees
saw
the
best
that
minneapolis
had
to
offer.
You
know.
Assessment
of
property
is
a
three-part
job,
operational
understanding,
the
complex
processes
and
also
leading
a
team
of
professionals
and
knowing
your
community.
R
D
S
S
I've
also
been
fortunate
to
have
co-instructed
with
her
numerous
times
for
assessor
education
courses,
seminars
and
conferences.
Rebecca
is
a
great
collaborator.
An
effective
communicator
is
always
well
prepared
and
enjoyable
to
work
with
rebecca's
dedicated
to
her
profession
and
has
diligently
advanced
her
credentials
along
the
way.
One
example
is
her
designation
of
certified
assessment
evaluator,
which
is
the
highest
designation
offered
through
the
international
association
of
assessing
officers.
S
T
D
T
T
And
I
support
the
appointment
of
rebecca
monquist
to
the
position
of
city
sector,
I'm
a
resident
of
ward
7
and
business
owner
in
the
city,
I'm
also
a
former
employee
of
the
city
of
minneapolis,
and
most
of
my
employment
was
spent
working
in
the
city
of
minneapolis
assessor's
office,
where
rebecca
served
as
the
director
of
assessments-
and
there
are
many
reasons
for
my
support,
but
I'll
focus.
My
comments
on
three
main
points:
leadership,
knowledge
and
commitment
to
equity
and
inclusion.
T
Rebecca
is
a
compassionate,
thoughtful
and
intentional
leader.
She
does
what
she
says
she
will
do
and
communicates
openly
and
regularly
with
all
levels
of
staff,
she's,
not
afraid
to
ask
for
help
and
to
provide
help
to
her
team
when
needed.
She
also
provides
opportunities
for
staff
to
be
exposed
to
all
aspects
of
the
organization
and
encourages
both
personal
and
professional
growth.
Her
own
commitment
to
professional
growth
and
development
is
ever
present
in
her
leadership
style
and
also
her
positive
relations
with
her
team
and
colleagues
in
terms
of
knowledge.
T
Rebecca
diligently
works
to
create
communication,
build
partnerships
and
education,
initiatives
that
support
fair
treatment,
access,
opportunity
and
advancement
for
all,
while
striving
to
identify
and
eliminate
barriers
that
have
prevented
the
full
participation
of
some
groups.
This
is
especially
evident
in
her
efforts
related
to
the
assessment
appeal
process,
and
I
am
excited
to
see
how
serving
in
the
role
of
city
assessor
will
add
greater
visibility
and
opportunity
for
advancement.
F
I
have
worked
with
rebecca
for
the
past
three
years.
As
a
member
of
the
local
board
of
appeals
and
equalization,
rebecca
is
knowledgeable
and
professional
and
approachable.
She
has
a
good
grasp
of
the
challenges
of
the
office.
She
brings
value
to
the
office
and
is
a
good
choice
to
be
appointed
that
city
assessor.
I
highly
recommend
that
you
appoint
rebecca
to
this
office.
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
D
B
B
B
B
She
has
always
been
professional
in
our
dealings
and
although
she
is
no
longer
handling
cases
personally,
my
colleagues
have
seen
improvements
in
professionalism
in
the
minneapolis
assessor's
office
during
the
time
that
ms
malmquist
has
been
there.
I
would
certainly
support
her
nomination
for
assessor
and
hope
that
you
do
a
pointer.
Thank
you.
D
D
U
Council
members,
as
madam
chair
indicated,
I'm
mark
chape
and
I
serve
as
the
county
auditor
and
treasurer
for
hennepin
county
and
similar
to
john
gendler.
I
used
to
represent
the
city
of
minneapolis
when
I
was
a
member
of
the
hennepin
county
attorney's
office.
So
I
am
here
to
support
rebecca
malmquist's
appointment
as
city
assessor.
I
know
what
an
important
role
it
is.
It's
certainly
important
in
a
relationship
with
hennepin
county.
I've
worked
with
her
the
last
few
years
and
I
find
her
to
be
a
very
good
communicator,
she's
responsive
to
me.
U
I
will
say
that
last
year
we
had
challenges,
as
we
all
know,
and
some
of
the
disaster
abatement
work.
I
worked
closely
with
her
on
that
and
I
think
that
was
successful
during
a
very
challenging
time.
So
I
know
time
is
short
and
I
just
want
to
to
conclude
by
saying
I
do
support
her
her
appointment
and
I
hope
that
the
council
members
do
that.
Thank
you
so
much
madam
chair.
V
V
I
will
speak
about
ms
monquist
from
a
local
level
and
working
with
rebecca
over
three
years.
I've
been
continually
impressed
with
her
enthusiasm
for
her
job.
It
is
not
an
easy
task,
since
anyone
that
appeals
their
property
evaluation,
they
are
not
happy
and
they're
very
frequently
frustrated
with
the
tax
system.
She
has
a
unique
ability
to
balance
empathy
for
the
property
owners
while
remaining
firm
regarding
rules
and
processes
that
ensure
a
fair
and
transparent
appeal
hearing.
V
She
has
taken
a
rather
what
is
somewhat
chaotic
process
of
the
uninformed
public,
frequently
making
appeals,
and
she
has
kept
that
process
orderly
and
expedient,
while
observing
mrs
manquest
at
work.
She
clearly
has
the
respect
and
support
of
her
staff
and
peers
and
would
be
an
excellent
choice
as
city
assessor.
O
O
O
G
G
G
D
Thank
you
so
much,
mr
nikolai,
and
that
wraps
up
our
speakers
that
have
been
signed
up.
Are
there
any
other
speakers
wishing
to
speak
to
the
appointment
of
miss
monquist,
see
we
have
councilmember
palmisano
and
q?
Should
we
close
the
public
hearing
first
or
do
we
hear
from
our
colleagues
mr
clerk,
madam
clerk.
D
D
D
X
So
the
assessing
profession
is
not
one
that
any
anyone
sets
out
on
a
path
to
pursue.
There
isn't
a
college
career
path
or
a
formal
career
path.
There
isn't
a
college
degree
that
directly
correlates
with
our
work.
We
all
essentially
fall
into
this
work,
and
my
story
is
no
different
and
I'm
so
grateful
that
this
is
where
I've
landed.
X
I
know
our
department
usually
flies
under
the
radar
and
isn't
the
one
that
comes
to
mind
when
you
think
about
the
work
that
goes
on
at
the
city.
These
are
at
times
these
at
times
can
be
good
things.
I
have
to
recognize
that
our
team
does
really
good
work.
Actually
they
do
great
work,
setting
fair
and
equitable
values
for
every
property
in
the
city
for
each
and
every
year,
followed
by
defending
the
values
we
set.
X
X
X
We
as
a
department
were
all
living
under
a
former
mindset
that
the
likelihood
that
we
could
ever
operate
with
staff
working
remotely
part-time,
much
less
full-time
was
just
never
going
to
happen.
It
just
wouldn't
work.
Well,
we
broke
that
mindset
and
less
than
one
week
last
march,
transitioned
it
to
a
remote
work,
environment,
partnership
and
collaboration
with
it
made
that
happen.
X
Moving
into
may,
we
had
to
facilitate
and
administer
the
local
board
of
appeal
and
equalization.
It
was
just
a
beautiful
collaboration,
working
with
the
clerk's
team,
I.t
and
communication,
as
we
for
the
first
time
ever
held
virtual
hearings.
In
some
ways
it
was
a
test
for
the
entire
city
of
minneapolis
enterprise
about
what
could
be
done
or
what
could
be
accomplished.
Virtually
the
board
heard
nearly
300
cases
over
the
course
of
7
days
and
11
sessions.
Never
have
this.
Many
cases
been
heard.
The
board
adjourned
may
21st
move
ahead.
X
Four
days,
george
floyd
was
murdered
and
the
civil
unrest
occurred.
We
faced
a
new
challenge
in
how
we
were
going
to
complete
the
required
disaster,
reassessment
of
nearly
1
000
properties
that
were
identified
to
a
sustained
damage,
leveraging
available
tools.
We
worked
with
property
owners
to
provide
information
and
assistance,
and
the
reassessment
was
completed.
We
worked
in
partnership
with
the
hannibal
county,
auditor's
team
and
approp.
Approximately
75
property
owners
received
relief
by
the
way
of
property
tax
abatement.
X
We
also,
then
sought
reimbursement
from
the
state
which
was
granted
and
the
local
taxing
authorities
were
granted
these
reimbursements
of
taxes
and
the
city
received
approximately
six
hundred
thousand
dollars
fast
forward
to
november.
In
the
midst
of
setting
the
values
for
2021
assessment,
we
were
notified
that
we
needed
to
move
out
of
our
office
space
in
city
of
lakes
to
accommodate
another
department
in
less
than
one
month
and
ahead
of
our
schedule.
X
Our
staff
rotated
in
and
out
of
the
office
maintaining
safe
social
distancing
to
pack
up
the
contents
of
the
office
and
move
into
a
temporary
space
next
door
where
our
office
belongings
are
being
stored.
Our
team
was
open
positive
and
I
really
think
they
actually
enjoyed
being
able
to
come
into
the
office
and
see
their
peers
doing
those
weeks.
X
All
of
these
challenges
have
reinforced
the
fact
that
while
we
may
not
be
able
to
do
everything,
it
seems
we
can
do
anything
when
we
work
together.
However,
there
is
more
work
to
do
a
lot
more
work
to
do
internally.
We
have
committed
to
and
are
finding
ways
to
focus
on
equity
inclusion
and
diversity.
X
We
did
see
a
setback
as
covet
hit,
as
our
major
camera
project
was
put
on
hold.
We
have
had
come
up
with
plan
b
and
we're
trying
to
find
ways
to
continue
to
produce
annual
assessments
and
st
meet
state
requirements
until
the
project
can
move
forward.
Again,
I
want
to
thank
our
team
in
the
assessor's
office
for
showing
up
for
the
property
owners
and
the
taxpayers
of
minneapolis.
X
X
You
have
had
to
do
a
lot
more
and
you've
had
to
think
way
outside
the
box,
you've
spent
many
extra
hours
making
sure
we
have
met
all
of
our
requirements
and
that
staff
has
what
they
needed
to
be
successful
and
to
feel
supported.
You
truly
are
the
best
to
my
support
system
throughout
the
city,
and
you
all
know
who
you
are
thank
you
for
taking
time
to
check
in
with
each
other,
listen
and
to
be
cheerleaders
for
each
other.
X
X
D
E
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
wanted
to
echo
just
the
things
that
we've
heard
today
about
rebecca
malmquist,
as
our
next
proposed
city,
assessor
being
the
utmost
at
the
highest
level
of
her
profession,
equitable,
fair.
I
had
the
opportunity
I
was
invited
to
join
one
of
her
team
meetings
recently.
I
also
had
the
privilege
of
being
part
of
her
performance
review
and
business
planning
for
this
year
and,
as
you
might
imagine,
it
has
been
a
tumultuous
year
for
for
property
owners
and
thus
for
the
assessors
and
fair
market
values
of
properties.
E
I
don't
need
to
speak
to
all
the
other
things
that
people
have
already
said,
but
I
am
very
excited
to
move
forward
with
this
as
having
director
rebecca
malmquist.
I
want
to
also
mention
that
she
takes
our
comment.
Commitment
to
equity
very
seriously,
and
while
she
is
at
the
very
top
of
her
profession,
she
has
not
stopped
innovating
and
coming
forward
with
new
ideas
on
how
we
can
make
our
city
more
fair
and
equitable
in
ways
that
even
have
to
do
with
this
line
of
work.
E
N
Thank
you,
madam
vice
president.
I
also
want
to
speak
to
the
appointment
of
rebecca
momquist.
I
also
want
to
make
a
point
of
noting
that
approximately
29
of
all
city
employees
are
women,
and
one
of
the
things
that
we
know
through
our
studying
of
our
employment
system
is
that
women
are
not
as
often
promoted
to
positions.
There
are
also
many
barriers
in
the
way
of
women.
Taking
top
leadership
roles
and
rebecca
malmquist
has
been
able
to
break
that
glass
ceiling
in
this
department,
and
I
think
that
is
extremely
notable.
N
I
have
had
the
opportunity
to
have
some
exchanges
with
her
over
the
past
couple
of
months
and
I
have
found
her
to
be
fair,
transparent,
responsive
and
respected,
and
those
are
the
kinds
of
things
that
I
believe
will
lead
the
public
to
believe
that
the
department
of
the
city,
assessor,
is
doing
its
job
and
doing
it
well.
I
was
very
surprised
to
see
one
of
my
very
highly
regarded
constituents.
N
Mr
gendler
speak
on
this
call,
as
well
as
mr
chapin,
who
I've
also
had
the
opportunity
to
work
with
and
to
have
that
number
of
people
come
out
and
speak
in
favor
of
one
of
our
top
employees
is
just
absolutely
amazing,
so
I
hope
we
have
the
opportunity
to
hire
and
promote
more
women
in
leadership
positions
like
this
one
at
the
city,
and
I
am
proud
to
support
this
appointment.
Thank
you.
K
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
won't
repeat
so
much
that
has
been
said,
but
I
really
wanted
to
thank
you,
miss
mulquist
for
highlighting
your
commitment
to
equity,
and
I
know
that
there
has
been
so
much
involved
in
just
keeping
the
normal
operations
of
your
very
small
department
running,
and
I
also
know
that
there
is
a
huge
relationship
between
the
way
the
systems
and
the
ways
that
we
assess
the
value
of
land
and
therefore
determine
the
property
tax.
K
K
So
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
to
say
at
this
time
that
I
think
you
have
a
lot
of
support
in
your
commitment
to
innovate
and
to
focus
in
equity
and
to
think
really
long
term.
Sometimes
we
have
an
idea
in
minneapolis
or
in
other
cities
around
the
country
that
over
time
can
really
change
how
systems
work
in
in
our
city
in
our
state
in
our
country,
and
I
think,
there's
actually
a
lot
of
room
for
change
in
this
area.
K
You
know
equity,
driven
measures
and
innovating,
and
I
know
that
you
have
the
support
of
policymakers
in
minneapolis
to
bring
forward
ideas,
even
if
they
are
things
that
would
require
change
to
national
practice
or
state
law,
because
we're
in
conversations
with
so
many
other
leaders
around
the
country
who
are
facing
so
many
of
the
same
challenges
that
I
think,
given
your
standing,
the
professional
community
and
the
backing
that
you
have,
you
would
be
able
to
really
be
a
leader
in
this
space
as
well.
So
thank
you.
F
C
F
Y
Y
D
D
D
D
Alrighty,
it
appears
that
we
do
not
have
any
speakers
at
this
time,
and
so
I
will
just
ask
one
more
time:
are
there
any
anyone
willing
or
interested
in
speaking
to
the
appointment
of
miss
candice
fault,
see
now,
and
I
will
now
close,
the
public
hearing
and
move
approval
of
this
item?
Is
there
any
discussion.
E
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
you
did
already
move
approval
of
this
item.
I
just
wanted
to
thank
ms
faulk
for
her
patience,
as
we
made
sure
that
we
gave
every
opportunity
for
the
public
to
win
as
possible.
You
know.
I
think
that
ms
faulk
is
a
constituent
of
mine
and
her
and
her
family
have
been
just
rooted
in
this
community
in
so
many
good
ways.
I'm
pleased
that
she's
willing
to
serve
us
in
this
role.
Thank
you.

D
D
K
Yeah,
thank
you.
You
know.
I
just
wanted
to
really
briefly
highlight
this
item,
which
is
the
contract
for
restorative
justice,
and
I
think
this
is
a
piece
of
our
work
to
transform
safety
that
doesn't
get
as
much
attention
because
it's
so
universally
supported,
and
I
just
wanted
to
thank
our
staff
in
the
city
attorney's
office,
who
have
really
been
working
on
this
for
so
many
years,
and
I
think
you
know,
especially
as
our
community
has
gone
through
such
a
difficult
time.
K
It's
just
really
important.
I
think
that
we
have
all
hands
on
deck
to
make
sure
that
everyone,
every
kid
in
our
community
has
opportunity
and
support,
including
when,
when
they've
gotten
into
trouble
or
when
they're,
you
know
when
they
need
extra
support,
and
I
think
that's
what
our
restorative
justice
programs
are
all
about
and
again
just
wanted
to
highlight
the
work
that
the
attorney's
office
is
doing
with
so
much
support
from
from
all
of
us.
So
thank
you.
D
J
Thank
you,
council.
Vice
president,
on
a
little
less
positive
note,
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
that
we're
approving
more
settlements
for
mpd
behavior
during
the
unrest
last
summer
for
incidents
that
we
have
not
yet
seen
any
discipline
for
or
really
received
any
report
on
how
discipline
might
happen
related
to
these
events,
so
we
are
paying
out.
We
are
liable
and
I
will
continue
to
name
this
as
these
settlements
come
out,
that
we
need
to
see
disciplinary
action
for.
D
F
U
C
P
D
D
H
So
the
I'll
read
I'll,
go
ahead
and
read
the
staff
direction
and
then
would
like
to
speak
to
it.
So
this
is
the
hiawatha
maintenance
facility,
campus
expansion
staff
direction,
and
it
is
a
motion
by
councilmember
jenkins,
councilman,
mercano,
councilmember,
gordon
and
councilmember
johnson,
in
policy
alignment
with
the
city's
south
side
green
zone
with
the
city's
resolution
declaring
racism,
a
public
health
emergency
and
the
city's
resolution
establishing
a
truth
and
reconciliation
process.
H
Staff
from
finance
and
property
services,
public
works
and
community
planning
and
economic
development
are
directed
to
suspend
all
aspects
of
the
city's
work
to
expand.
The
hiawatha
maintenance
facility
located
at
2860,
28th
street
east
and
2717
longfellow
avenue
south
further.
The
finance
and
property
services
and
public
works
departments
are
directed
to
work
with
the
city
attorney's
office
and
the
community
planning
and
economic
development
department
to
number
one
return.
H
H
Z
D
H
H
So,
as
you
know,
this
particular
project
is
embedded
in
a
community
that
meets
all
of
the
classical
definitions
of
an
environmental
racism
community.
It's
a
community
that
faces
environmental
racism
daily
and,
and
has
has
so
for
many
many
years.
It's
one
of
the
reasons
why
I
ran
for
office
in
2013
after
there
was
a
big
explosion
at
one
of
the
industrial
polluter
sites
in
east
phillips.
H
And
so
I
want
to
be
clear
that
this
staff
direction
is
about
gathering
information.
It
is
about
being
more
transparent
and
publicly
explicit
with
the
overall
aspects
of
this
particular
property
and
project,
and
it
is
about
collaborating
with
our
community.
It
is
about
including
community
voices
in
the
process
in
in
a
moment
where
we
need
radical
collaboration
to
help
our
city
overcome
some
of
these
deep
seated
challenges
and
what
it
is
not
the
staff
direction
is
not
allocating
monies
to
any
particular
initiative.
H
D
Thank
you,
councilmember
connell
for
that
context,
and
that
passionate
plea
for
more
disruption
of
the
systemic
challenges
that
our
communities
face
as
we
as
a
city
and
as
a
city
council
began
to
to
disrupt
our
public
safety
continuum
in
this
city.
We
also
need
to
be
looking
at
all
the
other
institutions
and
policies
that
continue
to
to
create
harm
in
in
our
communities.
Council,
member
reich.
L
Thank
you,
madam
vice
president,
and
I
would
like
to
offer
an
amended
substitute
motion
that
forwards,
the
intent
as
described
in
the
preamble,
with
some
modifications
that
were
informed
by
in
part
issues
and
concerns
that
were
identified
in
the
committee
discussion.
That
was
previous
in
transportation.
Public
works
that
had
the
presentation
and
even
within
that
sort
of
site
plan
update.
There
was
issues
that
are
merged
and
were
debated
and
discussed,
and
I
thought
to
myself.
L
Okay,
there's
definitely
more
than
one
viewpoint
on
this
matter
and
even
when
you
try
to
focus
on
a
specific,
be
it
site,
design
or
an
environmental
analysis
or
even
a
staff
direction.
It
quickly,
spins
into
other
implications
and
ramifications
and
points
of
view.
So
with
that
in
mind,
I
thought
is
there
a
way
to
maybe
imbue
some
of
those
different
viewpoints?
L
That
would
make
it
more
consistent
with
the
notion
that
we
are
extremely
stressed
with
our
staff
time
I
mean
I
have
affordable
housing
projects,
economic
redevelopment
projects,
all
of
which,
of
course,
speak
to
our
our
goals
as
a
city
and
rectifying
things
in
our
communities
that
demand
equity
are
on
hold
because
of
staff
constraints,
and
so
I
didn't
want
to
quell
the
intent
or
the
spirit
of
moving
forward
and
digging
deeper
in
this
one
important
topic
for
south
minneapolis
from
that
perspective.
But
at
the
end
of
the
day,
this
is
a
enterprise
effort.
L
So
I
wanted
to
try
to
strike
a
balance,
move
forward
with
the
spirit
of
the
preamble
with
these
new
lenses,
to
look
at
this
very
important
project
but
honor
those
lenses,
and
just
do
a
few
tweaks
that
I
think
better
captures
that
without
having
any
sort
of
direct
and
concerning
implication
in
terms
of
resource
commitment
and
guaranteeing
or
even
implying
guaranteed
outcomes,
material
outcomes
in
a
staff
direction.
Where
actually,
that
debate
would
be
in
another
sort
of
format?
So
that's
the
spirit
of
madam
vice
president,
in
which
I
afford
these
slight
language
changes.
D
W
W
N
N
Thank
you,
I'm
wondering
if
the
clerk's
office,
with
collaboration
from
public
works,
can
pull
up
onto
the
screen
photo
from
the
tmpw
meeting,
the
powerpoint
with
the
agenda,
the
project,
purpose,
history
and
status,
because
the
way
this
has
been
described
that
this
city
building
is
some
sort
of
horrible
polluter.
And
I
don't
think
at
the
general
public
looking
at
this,
wouldn't
understand
that
we're
talking
about
a
place
to
house
500
city
employees.
Y
J
N
I
think
it's
very
I'm
sorry,
I'm
speaking
out
of
tune
turn,
but
I
think
it's
very
unfair
to
our
500
employees,
who
currently
work
in
a
place
that
has
asbestos,
mold
and
other
issues
to
see
what
we're
talking
about.
But
I
want
to
note
council
member
reich's
motion
still
calls
to
suspend
work
on
this
project
at
that
site.
J
H
J
I
I
even
have
some
questions
about
a
site
in
ward
2
if
it's,
if
it's
big
enough
and
if
it
could
fit
the
training
center,
that's
right
now
owned
by
the
city
2600
many.
I
won't
necessarily
go
into
too
much
details
about
that.
But
I
wanted
to
be
really
clear
that
concern
about
our
water
program
in
the
city
of
minneapolis
and
maybe
even
above
that
the
working
conditions
for
our
city
employees
are
very
important
to
me.
I
I
But
I
can
also
appreciate
maybe
how
there's
a
concern
about
the
original
motion.
That
said,
suspend
all
aspects,
because
I
do
think
we
do
have
an
environmental
assessment
worksheet
that's
coming
up
and
that
we
have
obligations
to
complete
that
work
in
one
way
or
another
and
receive
and
file
that
report
and
all
those
things
in
the
future,
and
I'm
not
sure
if
it's
my
intention
to
say
that
we
need
to
suspend
that
and
prolong
it.
I
So
perhaps
all
aspects
was
going
a
little
bit
too
far,
but
I
still
my
intention
is
to
support
the
original
motion
that
I
seconded
at
this
point,
but
appreciate
the
good
work
and
wanted
to
call
out
those
words
that
gave
me
some
concern
with
council
member
reich's
valiant
effort,
maybe
to
get
us
to
that
13
and
0
vote
that
we
all
like
to
be
on.
Thank
you.
D
H
K
You
know
this
project
does
have
a
long
history
going
back
many
many
years,
but
just
a
couple
of
years
ago,
all
13
members
of
the
minneapolis
city
council
and
the
mayor.
The
current
mayor
mayor
frye,
unanimously
supported
a
project
plan
for
this
project
at
this
site
and
directed
our
staff
to
do
the
work
to
complete
this
project.
K
I
really
do
think,
though,
at
some
point.
If,
if
we
are
going
to
walk
away
from
this
project,
we
need
to
just
make
that
decision
and
stop
wasting
years
of
time
and
literally
millions
of
dollars
of
taxpayer
money,
and
this
is
entering
into
a
realm
of
what
I
think
is
really
an
egregious
mismanagement
of
taxpayer
payer
dollars.
Again,
we've
already
spent
4.2
million
dollars
on
planning,
design
and
environmental
review.
K
I
think
it's
important
to
just
make
a
decision
so
that
we
can
stop
kind
of
you
know,
dragging
our
staff
around
in
circles
and
and
more
importantly,
leaving
our
workers,
the
diverse
and
union
workers
who
maintain
our
water
system
hanging
out
to
dry,
and
you
know,
I
think,
we're
hearing
a
lot
here
out
of
unfortunately
absent
the
information
that
we
could
could
get
from
staff.
I
mean,
I
think,
as
policy
makers
as
we
look
at
this
project,
we
need
to
use
the
full
information
available
to
us
going
back
years.
K
Even
to
last
term
staff
have
been
sharing
that
the
emissions
from
this
site
would
be
less
than
a
housing
use
or
an
office
use.
We
have
an
eaw
that
we
volunteered
to
do.
It
isn't
required
that's
coming
to
committee
next
week,
and
I
want
to
really
continue
to
urge
my
colleagues
to
follow
that
process,
that's
mandated
by
state
law.
K
It
is
important
that
we
complete
that
process
that
the
1000
comments
be
acknowledged
and
entered
into
the
public
record
as
part
of
that
environmental
assessment
worksheet
the
action
that
will
be
for
committee
next,
that
will
be
before
committee
next
week
will
be
better
or
not
to
accept
the
findings
or
to
reject
them,
and
a
rejection
would
mean
doing
another.
Costly
environmental
review
called
an
environmental
impact
report.
K
K
If
we
were
to
cancel
this
project,
we
already
know
that
we
would
need
to
pay
back
11
million
dollars
to
the
water
fund.
I'm
concerned
that
council
numbers
seem
to
have
an
unspoken
idea
about
how
to
pay
that
back.
For
example,
using
american
rescue
plan
dollars
that
are
intended
to
help
struggling
families
and
businesses
recover
from
the
pandemic
and
economic
crisis
to
subsidize
the
private
development
on
the
site
would
be
a
really,
I
think,
unacceptable
use
of
those
funds,
and
one
I
would
not
support.
K
There
is
a
real
staff
capacity
issue
at
city-owned
sites.
Council
member
wright
talked
about
this.
I
had
a
project
in
my
ward,
a
city-owned
parking
lot
that
was
at
the
rfp
process.
This
is
a
site
that
would
generate
revenue
for
the
city.
It
would
generate
revenue
from
the
sale
of
the
land.
It
would
generate
tax
revenue.
It
wouldn't
be
a
place
that
at
least
I,
as
the
wartime
council
member,
would
advocate
for
subsidy.
K
It
would
be
a
place
where
that
project
would
help
subsidize
and
pay
for
investments
in
other
parts
of
the
city,
but
that
project
was
delayed
because
of
staff
capacity.
I
didn't
argue
with
that.
There
are
a
whole
number
of
projects
that
are
delayed
across
the
city,
including
reopening
nicolet
at
lake
street,
for
transit
access
at
that
site,
and
so
there
is
a
real
staff
capacity
issue
that
we
have
to
be
mindful
of
when
we
keep
asking
staff
to
go
back
and
ask
the
you
know,
asking
them
basically
the
same
questions
over
and
over.
K
So
I
mean,
regardless
of
what
happens
with
this,
you
know
either
of
these
motions.
Today,
I
just
want
to
reiterate
my
concern
that,
after
so
many
years
of
planning
after
4.2
million
dollars
spent
on
planning,
design
and
environmental
review
after
a
unanimous
decision
by
the
city,
council
and
mayor
just
a
couple
of
years
ago,
that
this
is
going
to
continue
to
result
in
millions
of
wasted
tax
dollars,
spending
millions
of
dollars
to
create
a
site
of
fridley,
increasing
truck
traffic
through
many
impacted
neighborhoods
and
leaving
a
vacant
and
polluted
site
with
no
plans
to
redevelop.
K
If
that
is
possible,
if
not,
I
will
do
all
that
I
can,
in
my
time,
left
in
office
to
support
our
staff
and
to
make
sure
that
the
folks
who
are
maintaining
our
water
and
sewer
system
have
the
safe
working
conditions
that
all
city
employees
should
expect,
and
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
I
I'm
disappointed
to
see
that
the
mayor
hasn't
weighed
in
on
this.
That
hasn't
said
anything
publicly
about
this.
K
The
mayor
was
speeding
up
the
park
board
over
a
contract
about
bathrooms,
and
this
and
hasn't
said
anything
about
making
sure
we
have
a
functioning
sewer
system
in
our
entire
city
and
safe
working
conditions
for
the
workers
who
maintain
it.
This
is
something
we
need
all
of
us
to
show
leadership
on
and
to
make
sure
that
we
don't
end
up
with
these
worst
case
scenarios
and
millions
of
taxpayer
dollars.
K
AA
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
I
want
to
say
that
I
have
similar
feelings
as
councilmember
gordon
on
this
and
I'll
speak
in
a
moment
to
why.
I
don't
support
this
substitute
amendment,
but
you
know
it's
frustrating
to
hear
this
argument
that
is
being
made
as
if
we
are
somehow
opposed
to
those
of
us
who
support
the
underlying
motion
opposed
to
having
a
functioning
water
yard
for
our
city
and
great
facilities
for
our
staff,
because
I
know
I
support
that,
and
I
know
my
colleagues
support
that
we
see
the
need.
I
happen
to
think.
AA
That
never
happened,
and
so
you
know
that
ties
directly
into
what
we're
looking
at
with
the
staff
direction
and
in
this
substitute
motion
around
essentially
more
vague
promises
that
you
know
for
the
parts
that
aren't
intended
for
use
for
municipal
operations
that
the
community
could
have
those
spaces.
Yet,
if
you
look
at
the
public
presentation
from
tpw
last
week,
the
whole
site
essentially
is
being
proposed
for
municipal
operations.
AA
So
I
don't
think
that
the
substitute
actually
really
changes
anything
from
the
existing
plans
today
in
that
regard,
and
that's
why
I
won't
be
supporting
it
today.
But
again
just
it's
needs
to
be
said
over
and
over
again
that
we
can
get
to
a
win-win
on
this.
If
the
political
will
is
there
and
showing
leadership
as
council
president
bender
asked
us
to
do,
is
not
taking
our
project
and
shoving
it,
you
know
down
the
throats
of
community.
That
is
saying.
Look
we
want
to
realize
our
vision
there.
AA
We
have
a
vision
for
the
site
by
the
way
it
is
a
great
tod
site.
It
is
just
a
few
minutes
walk
from
the
light
rail.
It
is
along
the
greenway,
which
is
a
tremendous
asset,
and
yet
the
community
does
not
get
a
choice
in
this
matter
that
the
council
member
is
saying.
I
support
the
community's
vision.
The
senator
the
representative,
the
neighborhood
association
community
organizations
and
a
coalition
of
them
are
saying
support
our
vision
and
we
are
instead
and
what
it
seems
like
is
is
the
case,
and
this
frankly
to
me,
is
institutional.
AA
AA
Yes,
there's
a
cost
for
that,
but
there's
also
a
cost
to
just
continuing
to
plow
ahead
and
when
you
look
at
other
areas
within
our
city,
it
seems
like
there
are-
are
more
of
a
blank
check
mentality,
whether
that
was
the
target
center
downtown,
where
I
believe
we
spent
what
was
it
30
million
dollars
just
for
the
exterior
of
the
building
to
redo
that
that
was
taxpayer
funds?
What
about
reopening
nicolette
avenue?
AA
We
paid
millions
of
dollars
just
for
the
option
to
reopen
it
and
nicolette
are
in
the
kmart
had
at
least
through
2053,
and
we're
fortunate
that
it
sure
looks
like
we'll
be
opening
that
sooner.
That's
a
good
thing,
but
you
know
this
is:
is
a
cost
involved
in
trying
to
get
it
right
for
a
community
to
get
the
best
outcomes
and
to
get
to
a
win-win
situation.
We
can
meet
both
needs,
and
so
I
fully
support
our
water
facility.
I
hear
our
workers,
I
see
them.
AA
I
value
the
work
they're
doing
it
is
a
very
critical
function.
It's
an
important
function
and
we
should
expedite
the
work
of
getting
a
facility
built
at
another
location
that
meets
those
operational
needs,
and
I
believe
the
underlying
staff
direction
will
move
us
there,
and
certainly
at
least
for
myself-
and
I
know
my
co-authors,
the
the
support
and
the
will
is
there
to
do
that
work.
Thank
you.

We
have
been
working
with
this
community
for
a
long
time
for
months
to
try
to
figure
out
how
to
repair
the
harms
that
have
been
inflicted
onto
this
low-income
community
into
this
racially
diverse
community
into
this
powerful
community.
That
has
survived
so
much
of
the
the
challenges
that
we
see
throughout
our
city,
and
so
I
would
say
that
you
know,
in
addition
to
not
seeing
this
language
until
very
shortly.
H
When
approaching
these
conversations,
I
think
we
have
to
think
above
and
beyond
the
dollars
and
cents
and
really
look
at
the
totality
of
the
costs
of
the
community,
who
has
lost
lives
at
the
hands
of
environmental
racism
for
generations
here,
and
so
I
just
want
to
remind
us,
as
a
body
of
elected
officials,
that
we
do
have
very
significant
challenges
on
our
hands,
but
we
also
have
a
lot
of
talent.
We
have
a
lot
of
will,
especially
from
the
community
right
now.
H
Attempts
to
bring
you
know
different,
you
know,
visions
together,
simply
do
not
mold,
because
the
visions
are
so
different
and
the
the
hopes
and
dreams
are
so
different,
and
so
I
I
do
think
that
there
is
a
a
great
place
for
this
facility
to
go
and
I
believe
we
have
the
the
capacity
to
find
that
place.
I
would
love
to
you
know,
hear
in
in
the
future
from
city
staff
about
those
renewed
needs
for
our
public
works
operations
needs
that
eight
years
ago,
perhaps
were
different.
H
H
And
this
is
the
type
of
beginning
to
explore
a
serious
step
that
can
be
had
collectively
as
a
body
in
a
coherent,
unified
way
in
the
public
committee
on
august
5th,
where
we
can
come
up
with
the
full
body
of
information
and
the
the
details
of
what
all
of
these
pieces
could
mean
and
and
can
be
and
happen,
and
and
map
that
out
together
design
that
future
together
design
our
systems
for
racial
justice
and
racial
equity.
Instead
of
sticking
to
dysfunctional
decisions
from
the
past.
H
Simply
because
we've
been
you
know,
sort
of
stubborn
and
really
had
this
tunnel
vision
about
how
things
should
be
done,
but
instead,
like
I
said,
let's,
let's
radically
open
up
that
space
of
collaboration.
Let's
step
into
that
moment
in
a
different
way,
and
and
let's
have
this
information
presented
to
us
in
a
very
coherent,
organized,
planful
and
thoughtful
manner,
and
just
to
illustrate
you
know
a
brief
point
here.
The
environmental
assessment
worksheet
that
councilmember
bender
mentioned
is
a
state
requirement.
H
Actually
is
not.
This
project
does
not
meet
the
threshold
to
require
a
state-sanctioned
eaw.
What
ended
up
happening
is
that
our
cped
director,
at
the
time,
mr
david
frank,
chose
to
enact
a
voluntary
environmental
assessment
worksheet
here,
because
he
understood
how
much
the
community
wanted
to
have
a
conversation
about
environmental
impacts
on
this
site.
H
H
So
we
really
need
to
stretch
ourselves
to
provide
the
leadership
that
our
city
needs
today,
and
so
I
I
won't
be
able
to
support
this
motion
brought
forward
by
councilmember
reich.
I
do
appreciate
him
calling
me
today
and
letting
you
know
his
intentions.
I
do
appreciate
everybody's
willingness
and
interest
to
dig
in
into
such
a
site-specific
project
in
an
already
embattled
ward
9,
where
we
are
carrying
so
much
grief
and
trauma,
and
we
see
this
as
just
one
small
motion
that
we
can
do
to
relieve
some
of
that
pain.
H
J
Thank
you,
council.
Vice
president,
I
I
am
going
to
be
speaking
in
favor
of
the
amendment
and
I'm
I'm
probably
going
to
do
something
that
I
don't
normally
like
to
do,
which
is
I'm
going
to
support
an
amendment
on
something
that
I'm
probably
going
to
vote
no
on
the
underlying
motion,
and
I
want
to
explain
why,
because
I
think
you
know
this
is
a
you
know.
This
is
this
is
an
important
issue.
J
It
is
a
consequential
issue
and
I
think
that
there's
a
really
disturbing
kind
of
anti-intellectualism
to
the
timing
and
to
the
way
this
is
being
described
into
the
way
this
is
being
talked
about
that
I
want
to
really
make
sure
we
don't
embrace
that
as
a
city.
I
think
we
need
to
do
better
than
this,
and
so
here's
first
of
all,
I
want
to
just
in
defense
of
council
members
being
walked
on
outside
of
the
agenda.
J
None
of
us
could
have
prepared
an
amendment
to
this
item
with
any
better
notice,
because
this
because
of
the
timing
of
of
this
item,
so
I
I
don't
think
that
criticism
is
fair.
I
also
don't
think
that
the
criticism
is
fair
of
staff
that
they
have
taken
so
long
to
develop
this
site
because
they
have
taken
so
long
because
they
have
been
requested
to
take
additional
steps
to
try
to
meet
communities
needs
to
explore
communities
needs.
J
I
think
they
have
worked
extraordinarily
hard
towards
those
goals,
and
I
think
that
it
is.
I
I
think
that
it's
not
fair
to
them
to
people
who
are
very
invested
in
this
project,
who
have
been
very
invested
in
some
very
tough
community
conversations
who
have
agreed,
as
councilmember
connor
noted,
to
go
above
and
beyond
to
do
an
eaw
that
was
not
required
to
now
see
that
delay
held
up
as
a
reason
to
not
move
forward.
J
I
think
that
that
that
does
that
doesn't
feel
I
mean
it
just
doesn't
feel
fair
it
doesn't.
It
doesn't
feel
reasonable.
Here's,
but
here's.
What
I
think
is
most
important
in
my
observation
about
the
conversation
about
this.
Through
the
whole
term,
people
are
being
told
that
this
site
is
anything
they
want
it
to
be.
J
People
are
being
told
that
this
site
has
housing
that
it
has
farms
that
it
will
create.
Hundreds
or
thousands
of
jobs
I've
had
com
I've
had
people
tell
me
that
it
is
carbon
neutral,
that
it
has
retail,
that
it
doesn't
have
retail
that
it
will
have
abundant
parking,
that
it
won't
have
any
parking
that
it
will
have.
J
I
also
ask
people
where
do
you
think
an
appropriate
place
is,
and
many
of
the
people
who
claim
to
be
advocating
for
this
on
the
basis
of
environmental
justice,
say
the
north
side
there's
great
sights
on
the
north
side,
and
so,
if
you're
telling
me
that
this
is
too
harmful,
too
asthma
causing
too
dangerous
too
damaging
to
put
in
the
phillips
neighborhood
but
you're
comfortable,
putting
it
over
north.
I
question
whether
environmental
justice
is
the
framework
that
you're
using.
I
think
it's
very
important.
J
J
I
think
I
got
one
complaint,
the
entire
term
about
that
site
and
it
turned
out
to
actually
be
the
site
next
door
around
like
some
late
night
snow
plowing
that
happened,
but
honestly,
like
I
mean
there
has
been
no
problem
having
it
there,
we
would
love
to
host
it,
except
that
it's
a
totally
inappropriate
site
for
us
to
have
workers
working
today.
They
literally
have
their
conference
room
in
the
locker
room.
J
It
is,
it
is
putting
people
in
cramped,
adaptive
inaccessible
quarters
and
we,
our
workers,
deserve
better
than
that,
and
so
as
much
as
I
would
love
to
keep
them
on
that
site,
because
we
love
having
them
there
and
we
love
having
the
water
yard
there,
and
it
has
caused
no
harm
to
the
constituents
of
ward
three.
I
support
building
a
new
site
for
those
workers
and
because
they
have
told
us
that
that
is
something
that
they
need
to
do
their
job
safely
and
in
a
healthy
way.
J
I
have
had
multiple
people
so
obviously,
last
week
we
had
another
fire
at
northern
metals.
We
have
real
environmental
justice
issues
in
our
community
and
when
I
spoke
up
about
those
environmental
justice
issues,
something
about
which
I
am
passionate,
something
about
which
I
have
a
long
record
of
working
on.
When
I
spoke
up
about
those
issues,
I
was
told
that.
J
J
J
I
think
it's
really
been
frustrating
to
feel
like
we're
just
not
dealing
in
the
realm
of
facts,
and
there
are
a
lot
of
people
who
are
super
passionate
about
environmental
justice,
and
I
want
them
to
be,
and
I
want
them
to
advocate
for
it
who
are
putting
their
energy
in
a
place
that
doesn't
feel
like
it's
connected
to
reality,
and
I
was
really
hoping
that
this
eaw
was
going
to
at
least
anchor
us.
In
reality,
it
was
going
to
give
us
a
set
of
facts
that
we
could
operate
with
that.
J
J
It
feels
like
we
don't
want
facts
to
get
in
the
way
of
our
vision
or
of
our
conversation,
and
I
think
it's
very
important
that
we
get
the
facts
into
the
record
so
that
we're
operating
from
a
common
set
of
understandings
about
what
this
site
is
and
isn't.
And
so
my
understanding
is
that
council,
member
rights
amendment
at
least,
is
written
in
a
way
that
we
can
still
move
forward
with
the
eaw
that
the
language
of
the
original
underlying
motion
would
actually
halt
all
work
on
this.
J
J
D
D
Respiratory
disease
impact,
the
entire
world,
where
millions
of
people
have
died
over
500
000
people
in
the
in
the
united
states
have
died
from
these
respiratory
diseases,
and
we
know
that
black
and
brown
people
have
been
the
most
impacted
by
the
coronal
virus.
The
area
where
this
proposed
project
is
being
proposed
is
has
some
of
the
highest
asthma
rates,
some
of
the
highest
particular
rates,
some
of
the
highest
diabetes
rates
and
other
preventable
diseases
in
our
city
in
our
state.
D
In
fact,
even
though
those
those
numbers
have
been
lowered
and
reduced
and
through
many
many
efforts,
they
are
still
the
highest
in
in
our
communities
with
the
next
highest
being
north
minneapolis.
As
has
been
pointed
out
in
this
on
this
call,
and
so
with
that
in
mind,
I
have
changed
my
support
to
to
move
this
project
to
another
community
so
that
we
don't
continue
the
environmental
harms
that
have
been
in
enacted
and
impacted
on
this
community.
D
For
for
many
many
many
years,
I
I
read
a
report
from
mr
friedl.
I
believe
earlier
today
outlining
a
lot
of
what
has
been
happening
in
this
community
over
the
past
seven
to
eight
years
and
naming
the
bituminous
roadway
boundary
and
other
polluters
in
the
area
as
the
main
causes,
and
we
need
to
be
working
to
to
eliminate
that
those
pollution
causing
elements
as
well.
D
It's
it's
time
for
us
to
really
become
serious
about
racial
justice,
racial
inequities,
environmental
justice,
green
energy.
If
we
didn't
have
the
horrific
murder
of
george
floyd
in
2020,
our
main
concern
as
a
city
council
would
be
climate
change,
and
that
is
the
issue
that
we
are
addressing
today.
I
think
councilmember
mcconnell
eloquently
stated
that
this
is
a
public
safety
issue
as
well
environmental
justice.
How
do
we
keep
our
communities
safe
from
the
very
air
that
they
breathe?
D
The
water
that
they
drink
and
in
terms
of
the
american
rescue
plan,
I
do
believe
that
there
are
resources
and
language
specifically
to
support
water
maintenance
and
environmental
justice
concerns.
So
I
I
don't
see
it
necessarily
as
some
waste
of
taxpayer
dollars
to
spend
that
in
in
california,
in
manhattan
beach.
The
city
just
voted
to
return
a
portion
of
land
that
had
been.
D
AB
Yeah,
thank
you,
colleagues.
I
wanted
to
speak
just
because
I
I
I
am.
I
am
going
to
be
supporting
councilmember
reich's
motion
in
the
event
that
it
fails
I'll
still
be
supporting
the
underlying
motion,
but
I
did
want
to
speak
to
a
few
things
just
because,
as
the
as
the
years
have
gone
on
and
we've
gone
and
we've
debated
this,
I
I
feel,
like
a
few
think:
we've
lost
sight
of
a
few
things,
at
least
at
least
from
my
vantage
point,
and
how
this
conversation
has
gone.
AB
You
know
one
is
that
the
main
reason
I'm
supporting
this
is
because
I
have
had
quite
a
few
conversations
with
activists
on
the
south
side
and
I
want
to
respect
this
idea
of
an
indoor
farm.
You
know
I.
I
generally
agree
that
with
council
member
fletcher
that
that
there
are
a
lot
of
ideas
around
this,
this
this
location,
sometimes
they
do
contradict,
but
that
the
basic
idea
that
I've
heard
around
urban
agriculture
and
an
indoor
farm
has
remained
consistent,
and
I
want
to
be
supportive
of
that.
AB
But
you
know
I
think,
a
few
other
contributing
factors
around.
You
know
why
I'm
I'm!
You
know
inclined
to
support
this
underlying
motion
is
because
the
political
leadership
has
been
at
odds
with
this
project
on
the
south
side.
You
know
and
the
same
way
that
I
wouldn't
want
folks
telling
me
what's
good
for
the
north
side,
I'm
not
gonna
be
inclined
to
tell
folks
what's
good
for
the
south
side.
AB
That
being
said,
I've
gotten
a
chance
to
speak
with
some
of
the
union
workers
who
are
working
in
the
current
facility,
and
I
gotta
say
the
conditions
are
not
great
and
the
one
thing
that
does
not
really
happen
in
these
conversations
is
a
proposal
about.
Where
else
will
go
right.
We
it'll
probably
end
up.
AB
I've
heard
you
know
that
it'll
end
up
outside
of
the
city,
which
would
be
unfortunate,
because
I
think
that
there's
a
there's
a
pretty
cool
job
training,
center
job
creation
portion
of
this
project
and
and
for
a
project
this
big.
It
has
been
a
little
bit
odd
that
it
feels
like
the
former
director
supported
it.
You
know,
and
and
really
no
one
else.
AB
Quite
frankly,
if
we
spread
lies
about
the
environmental
impact
of
this
project,
we
are
going
to
create
a
disaster
for
any
council
member
who
tries
to
take
this
on
we're
going
to
create
a
disaster
for
any
council
member
who
is
open
to
having
this
project
in
their
ward.
If
the
environmental
impacts
are
not
actually
what
we're
claiming
they
are,
then,
but
the
public
seems
to
think
it
is.
Then
then
then,
then,
what
have
we?
What
are
we
leaving
our
colleagues
with
to
take
on
this
project?
AB
I'll
say
that
you
know
yeah,
south
side,
leadership
shouldn't
happen
and
residents
shouldn't
have
to
take
on
this
project
if
there's
absolutely
zero
support
for
it.
But
if
we
don't
have
a
plan,
then
you
know
about
where
this
will
go
and
if
we
create
an
untenable
political
situation
not
rooted
in
facts.
That
makes
it
any
hard
for
any
other
cm
to
take
this
project
on
then.
All
this
talk
about
supporting
the
staff
that
are
working
in
these
conditions
is,
is
lip
service.
AB
Quite
frankly,
I
would
I
would
love
to
be
in
a
conversation
about
where
else
this
project
would
go,
but
again,
if,
if,
if
we're
saying
that
we
that
this
project
is
going
to
produce
environmental
justice
outcomes
that
are
that
are
bad
for
black
and
brown
communities
when,
when
that
might
not
quite
be
the
fact,
then
we're
setting
up
this
project
to
fail,
no
matter
where
it
goes
in
the
city.
I
just
want
to
be
clear
about
that.
AB
You
know
this
project
is,
you
know,
is,
is
is
going
to
be
probably
a
job
generator
they're
union
jobs.
Well
paying
you
know,
I
would
love
to
see
my
community
be
able
to
take
advantage
of
that.
That
probably
likely
won't
happen
if
the
facility
is
out
in
fridley
or
wherever
we
do
need
to
resolve
our
situations
around
clean
water.
AB
AB
Should
this
project
should
it
be
deemed
best
that
this
project
moves
somewhere
else,
and
I
think
the
same
could
happen
with
with
other
jurisdictions
as
well.
Other
cities
may
not
want
to
build
this
thing.
If,
if
the
narrative
around
it
is
that
it
is
going
to
be
this
awful
toxic
site,
you
know
and
I
think,
comparisons
to
actual
toxic
sites
like
northern
metals
as
was
mentioned
earlier.
They
just
don't
they
just
it.
AB
They
just
don't
compare
right
so
so
I
just
wanted
to
make
that
clear.
You
know
I'm
supporting,
because
you
know
I
I've
heard
the
pleas
from
the
neighborhood.
I
I'm
seeing
that
the
leadership
on
the
south
side
isn't
supportive
of
this
project,
but
I
do
want
to
make
sure
that
that,
if
there's
going
to
be
a
conversation
around
moving
this
project,
that
we
don't
poison
the
well
to
the
degree
that
that
that
that
we
can't
that
this
project
won't
happen
anywhere.
D
Thank
you,
councilmember
ellison,
and,
just
to
to
that
point
I
don't
believe
that
this
project
in
and
of
itself,
is
any
more
environmentally
disruptive
than
a
regular
office
building
or
a
retail
site.
As
council
member
fletcher
stated
it's
that
this
community
has
historically
and
continues
to
be
harmed
by
other
environmental
facts,
other
environmental
injustice
factors
as
well,
and
so
this
would
be
a
a
contributor
to
those
other
issues
that
we
are
seemingly
challenged
to
overcome.

Chair
fletcher
council
vice
president
jenkins
and
members
of
the
committee,
as
mentioned,
I'm
lyle
hodges,
I'm
the
comptroller
from
finance
and
property
services
here
to
present
the
fourth
quarter:
financial
status
of
select
city
funds.
The
numbers
presented
today
are
unaudited
as
we're
going
through
our
audit
right
now,
but
we've
made
every
effort
to
ensure
that
they
are
as
close
to
final
numbers
as
possible.
Z
Z
As
an
overview,
the
financial
picture
of
the
city
as
a
whole
is
complicated
by
the
ongoing
impacts
of
the
covet
19
pandemic.
In
july,
the
city
did
receive
just
under
32.3
million
dollars
in
federal,
cares
act
funding
through
the
state
of
minnesota
that
funding
was
used
to
offset
costs
incurred
as
part
of
the
response
to
the
pandemic.
Z
Z
Z
Z
Z
Z
I'm
just
kind
of
note
in
the
general
fund
typically
we'll
see
cash
and
fund
balance
trend
in
the
same
direction,
so
you
can
see
goals
increasing
there
next
slide,
please
so
here's
some
specifics.
A
lot
of
numbers
on
general
fund
revenues
by
category
on
the
left
hand,
side
of
the
top
table.
You
can
see
the
categories
and
then
the
trends
over
the
past
four
years,
just
kind
of
two
notes:
local
taxes
on
the
second
line.
Z
There
of
course,
have
gone
down
to
zero
as
we
switched
to
depositing
local
taxes
into
the
downtown
assets
fund,
and
then
the
only
other
thing
I'd
note
here
is:
you
can
see
further
down
on
the
table.
There.
Transfers
in
did
decrease
to
25.9
million
in
2020
again
that
represents
the
22
million
dollar
reduction
that
we
took
to
keep
cash
in
the
downtown
assets
fund.
Z
Some
high-level
bullet
points
general
fund
revenue
in
2020.
It
was
slightly
behind
average
collections.
Typically,
we
will
see
collections
of
revenue
in
the
general
fund
exceed
budget
at
105.6
percent
of
budget.
That's
the
average.
For
the
past
three
years.
In
2020
we
saw
that
revenue
came
in
at
100.5
percent
of
budget.
Z
Z
Z
You
know,
spending
reduction
measures
implemented
throughout
the
year
were
very
effective
at
reducing
spent
expenditures
across
all
departments.
We
ended
the
year
at
98.1
percent
of
that
reduced
budget
amount.
Typically
in
the
general
fund,
we
see
as
an
expenditure
of
96.6
percent
of
budget
so
again
slightly
over
kind
of
the
average
spend
rate,
but
the
budget
was
reduced.
So
on
the
next
side,
please.
Z
Z
We've
got
the
list
of
significant
special
revenue
funds
there
on
the
second
bullet
total
fund
balance.
At
your
end,
2020
in
these
funds
presented
as
356.7
million.
That
represents
a
14
million
dollar
increase
compared
to
the
2019
year-end
fund,
balance
that
was
driven
by
increases
in
the
downtown
assets
and
cped
special
revenue
funds
and
offset
by
decreases
in
the
convention
center
actions
taken
during
the
year
to
preserve
that
downtown
assets,
fund
and
fund
balance.
You
know
were
a
big
contributor
to
that
increase
total
cash
at
year.
Z
End
2020,
for
these
group
of
funds
is
304.8
million
dollars.
That's
a
16
million
dollar
increase
and
again
preserving
cash
was
the
goal
we
refunded
some
debt
in
the
convention
center
to
prevent
a
significant
payout
for
for
expiring
debt
issuance
and
then
just
to
know
what,
while
cash
and
fund
balance
were
preserved
in
2020,
it
continues
to
be
an
area
that
we're
monitoring
and
you
know
as
as
we
get
through
2021,
we'll
have
to
keep
an
eye
on
that.
Z
Z
So
the
internal
service
funds,
as
a
group
of
funds,
are
used
to
account
for
goods
and
services
provided
internally
to
other
city
funds
and
departments.
The
second
bullet
point
here
once
again
lists
the
funds.
There
are
six
in
total
that
we
keep
track
of
at
the
city
total
net
position
at
year
end
2020
is
146.4
million.
That
represents
a
2.2
million
dollar
increase
from
the
2019
year-end
fund
balance.
Z
I
would
like
to
note
here
that
the
net
position
reported
is
unaudited
and
that,
as
we
got
into
the
audit,
and
we
received
an
updated
actuarial
report
on
the
pending
liabilities
and
some
of
the
self-insurance
funds,
that
number
will
be
significantly
lower.
When
you
look
at
the
audited
financial
statements
in
a
couple
of
months,
because
we
did
have
to
book
a
significantly
higher
liability
decreasing
our
available
net
position,
total
cash
at
your
end
is
148.2
million.
That's
a
seven
million
dollar
decrease
from
the
year-end
fund
balance.
Z
This
reflects
reductions
in
planned
spending
in
some
areas.
We
delayed
projects
we
deferred
upgrades
because
there
are
fewer
restrictions
in
these
funds.
As
far
as
the
resources
go,
we
are
able
to
sometimes
pull
back
revenues
or,
in
other
ways
manage
them
so
that
other
funds
that
would
typically
pay
into
the
internal
service
funds
can
preserve
their
cash
for
other
uses.
Z
Z
Similarly,
total
cash
at
your
end
is
93.7
million,
which
represents
a
41.1
million
decrease
from
2019
year
end
and
generally,
revenue
losses,
coupled
with
ongoing
capital
projects
and
debt
service
obligations,
decreased
cash
in
most
of
these
funds,
so
that
was
all
I
have
for
that
today.
Are
there
any
questions.
J
I'll
I'll
just
take
a
moment
to
comment
then,
and
first
of
all,
thank
you
for
sticking
around
through
a
long,
unexpected,
walk-on
item.
This
was
a
reassuring
report
to
me.
I
appreciate
the
work
that
finance
staff
has
done
to
make
sure
that
we're
in
a
cash
position,
even
as
revenues,
are
shifting
in
an
unpredictable
situation
that
that
we're
on
stable
financial
footing
for
the
basic
operations
of
our
city
and
that
people
can
feel
confident
in
that.
J
I
think
that's
no
easy
thing
in
a
year
like
this
and
in
a
complex
environment
like
this,
and
so
I
wanted
to
get
this
report
in
front
of
people,
because
I
think
it
is
reassuring,
even
as
it
shows
some
areas
that
are
challenges
that
will
be.
There
are
holes
that
we'll
be
digging
out
of.
There
are
places
we
extended
that
there
are
projects
that
we
deferred.
J
You
know,
so
this
is
not
without
cost
to
the
city,
but
it
it
is
cost
that
was
managed
wisely.
You
know
in
in
a
way
that
still
leaves
us
in
in
what
appears
to
be
a
very
strong
footing.
So
I
I
appreciate
the
update
and
would
encourage
my
colleagues.
I
know
we're
at
the
end
of
a
long
meeting
to
make
sure
you
look
at
this
report.
At
some
point,
I
think
there
is
some
important
work
reflected
in
it.
K
Thanks,
mr
chair,
and
as
you
said,
I
know
it's
been
a
long
meeting.
I
did
also
just
wanted
to
thank
you
for
bringing
this
forward,
and
this
information
is
so
important.
Now,
I
think
more
than
ever
as
we're
adjusting
to
you
know
going
through
the
very
unusual
circumstances
of
the
pandemic,
but
also
now,
as
we
are
planning
for
the
future,
not
knowing
quite
exactly
how
our
economy
and
our
city's
revenues
will
will
recover
or
adjust,
and
we
may
see
some
shifts
that
are
short-term
and
some
that
may
last
for
many
years
to
come.
K
But
also
remembering
you
know
what
the
burden
we're
really
putting
on
staff
when
we're
not
bringing
our
workforce
back
up
to
its
previous
levels
and
just
kind
of
balancing
that
and
obviously,
if
we,
if
we
have
fewer
stuff,
we
have
to
give
up
some
work
at
some
point
or
we'll
just
be
running
everyone
into
the
ground.
So
just
appreciate
that
in
in
the
context
of
looking
forward
to
the
american
rescue
plan
dollars
and
next
year's
budget
and
future
budgets.
So
thanks.
J
Thank
you,
council
president.
I
don't
see
anybody
else
in
queue.
Is
there
anybody
else
who'd
like
to
speak
to
this
item,
if
not
I'll?
Thank
you,
mr
hodges,
for
the
presentation
and
colleagues
that
brings
us
to
the
end
of
our
agenda.
Council.
Vice
president
has
asked
me
to
conclude
the
meeting
and
without
objection
I
will
do
so
now.
I
will
declare
this
meeting
adjourned.
Thank
you.
