Hello:
everyone
welcome
to
the
regularly
scheduled
meeting
of
the
public
health
and
safety
committee
for
november
15
2021.
My
name
is
philippe
cunningham
and
I
am
the
chair
of
this
committee.
As
we
begin,
I
will
note
for
the
record
that
this
meeting
has
remote
participation
by
members
of
the
city,
council
and
city
staff
as
authorized
under
minnesota
statute,
section
13d
201
due
to
the
declared
local
public
health
emergency.
B
The
city
will
be
recording
and
posting
this
meeting
to
the
city's
website
and
youtube
channel
as
a
means
of
increasing
public
access
and
transparency.
This
meeting
is
public
and
will
be
subject
to
the
open,
minnesota
open
meeting
law
at
this
time.
I'll
ask
the
clerk
to
please
call
the
role,
so
we
can
verify
a
quorum
for
this
meeting.
D
D
B
Let
the
record
reflect
that
we
have
a
quorum.
I
do
believe
that
council,
member
ellison
is
on
his
way,
I
believe,
he's
running
behind
from
an
event
out
in
the
community.
So
with
that
colleagues,
the
agenda
for
today's
meeting
is
before
us.
We
have
seven
items
on
consent
as
well
as
I
believe
for
discussion
items
so
we'll
go
ahead
and
get
started
with
the
consent
agenda.
B
Item
number
one
is
accepting
a
reimbursement
grant
from
the
minnesota
board
of
fire
firefighter
training
and
education
in
the
amount
of
fifty
seven
thousand
six
hundred
eighty
dollars
item
number
two
is
a
gift
acceptance
from
the
minneapolis
police
canine
foundation
for
two
dual
purpose:
police
working
dogs
item
number:
three
is
authorizing
an
agreement
with
next
gen
healthcare
to
provide
licensed
software
maintenance
and
manage
the
environmental
or
the
hosting
environment.
B
Item
number
five
is
authorizing
a
contract
with
the
city
of
orono
police
department
in
the
amount
of
212
thousand
two
hundred
dollars
for
continued
participation
in
the
state's
tours
zero
deaths,
traffic
enforcement,
regional
partnership
program-
I
know
number
seven-
is
authorizing
a
contract
with
the
state
of
minnesota
on
behalf
of
hennepin
technical
college,
for
up
to
ten
thousand
for
use
of
the
city's.
B
I'm
sorry,
the
college's
tactical
and
fixed
range
from
the
by
the
minneapolis
police
department
and
number
seven
is
approving
a
number
of
council
and
mayoral
appointments
and
reappointments
to
the
workplace
advisory
committee.
Welcome
for
folks
to
take
a
look
at
those
who
are
interested
in
serving
our
community
and
sitting
in
this
way.
We
are
very
fortunate
to
have
folks
being
willing
to
do
so.
So
with
that
colleagues,
I
will
move
approval
of
items
one
through
seven
and
we'll
pause
to
see
if
there
are
any
questions
related
to
those
items.
D
B
Those
item
carry
those
items,
carry
and
the
consent
agenda
is
approved.
So
we'll
move
on
to
our
first
discussion
item,
which
is
going
to
be
receiving
and
filing
an
update
on
progress
around
the
staff
direction
for
the
creation
of
an
unarmed
traffic
safety
division.
I
believe
we
have
staff
from
the
office
of
performance
and
innovation
here
to
lead
us
in
this
update.
Welcome
team.
E
Good
afternoon,
chair
cunningham
and
council
members,
my
name
is
taylor,
crouch
dachshund
and
I
use
he
him
pronouns,
I'm
a
program
manager
for
the
office
of
performance
and
innovation
on
the
call
we
have
brian
smith,
director
of
opi
interim
director
of
strategic
management,
as
well
as
my
opi
colleague,
mauricio
mcadoo,
who
will
introduce
yourself
shortly
today.
As
you
mentioned,
chair
cunningham,
will
be
providing
an
update
on
our
work
related
to
the
staff
direction
to
research
and
understand
how
the
city
may
develop
an
unarmed
traffic
safety
enforcement
alternative
to
police.
E
Today,
we'll
be
delivering
an
overview
of
our
inclusive
design
process
and
revisit
steps
completed
in
that
process
thus
far
also
be
communicating
some
current
landscape
of
traffic
enforcement
in
minneapolis,
both
in
data
and
in
qualitative
processes,
and
then
we'll
be
fine
finalizing.
This
work
with
some
initial
direction
that
we
hope
to
receive
from
this
committee
moving
forward
in
order
to
move
on
to
some
next
steps
in
our
design
process.
E
So,
as
you
may
recall
from
some
previous
work
that
we've
done
in
this
space,
our
office
uses
a
six
step,
inclusive
design
process.
In
the
upcoming
slides.
We
will
be
focusing
on
the
discover
and
the
understand
piece
and
particularly
about
how
it
helps
us
understand
the
current
traffic
enforcement
landscape
for
minneapolis.
E
E
E
The
design
process
typically
follows
one
where
the
community
identifies
characteristics
of
a
solution.
Much
like
what
we
did
with
our
mental
health
crisis
response
team.
We
need
a
bit
more
flexibility
so
that
the
community
can
be
a
part
of
those
ideas
and,
finally,
the
staff
direction
address
some
different
aspects
of
traffic
safety,
which
ultimately
require
different
design
approaches.
E
We
recognize
at
the
onset
that
traffic
safety
is
a
complex
and
overlapping
network
of
systems
from
driving
behavior
to
enforcement
processes,
road
infrastructure
and
much
more,
and
so,
while
we
don't
feel
that
it
is,
we
recognize
that
it
is
not
inherently
needed
at
this
stage
to
go
deep
dive
into
those.
Instead,
we
wanted
to
focus
on
what
we
were
able
to
accomplish
now
in
this
time
and
then
we'll
talk
about
how
we
could
probably
move
forward.
B
D
F
Welcome,
thank
you,
council
member.
Just
to
get
us
started.
My
name
is
marisa
mcadoo.
I
used
to
be
her
pronouns
and
I'm
a
planner
analyst
with
the
office
of
performance
and
innovation.
If
we
could
go
to
the
next
slide,
please
just
to
revisit
the
initial
staff
direction,
which
is
paraphrased
on
this
slide.
Opi
was
directed
to
design
and
develop
recommendations
for
the
creation
of
an
unarmed
traffic
safety
division
to
be
housed
in
a
department
outside
of
the
police
department.
F
F
Final
recommendations
were
to
focus
on
problem
solving
traffic
safety
issues,
creating
a
new
city
response
system
for
non-moving
violations,
designing
models
to
inform
changes
to
state
statute
for
moving
violations
and
resolving
staff
direction
related
to
traffic
enforcement
from
the
2020
budget
appropriations
revolution
next
slide.
Please.
F
So
from
the
staff
direction,
we
identified
three
broader
categories
of
traffic
safety
that
the
direction
aims
to
address.
Those
categories
include
traffic
violation
enforcement
traffic
policies,
statutes
and
ordinances,
and
driver
behaviors.
These
categories
served
as
a
foundation
for
posing
questions
about
how
we
might
frame
our
design
approach.
Some
of
those
questions
that
we
gathered
included.
How
might
we
improve
user
experience
for
resolving
traffic
violations?
F
How
might
we
reduce
racial
disparities
related
to
traffic
violation
enforcement?
How
might
we
educate
residents
on
traffic
laws
and
their
rights
related
to
traffic
enforcement?
How
might
we
change
current
traffic
policies
and
ordinances
to
improve
resident
interactions
with
traffic
enforcement
and
violation
resolution?
F
F
So
we
started
to
build
contact
around
the
current
landscape
of
traffic
enforcement
in
the
city
by
looking
at
which
departments
enforce
traffic
statutes
and
ordinances
for
non-moving
violations,
traffic
statutes
and
ordinances
are
enforced
by
both
the
police
department
and
the
traffic
control
unit
within
regulatory
services.
Traffic
control
can
enforce
non-moving
violations
like
parking
violations,
but
a
peace
officer
must
respond
to
moving
violations,
and
with
that
I
will
pass
the
nick
to
taylor
to
provide
a
bit
more
detail
on
the
enforcement
processes.
E
As
marie
mentioned,
I'm
going
to
be
walking
through
two
slides.
Both
are
process
maps
which
help
us
to
understand
the
response
enforcement
policies
that
mpd
and
traffic
control
unit
follow.
So
this
first
one
is
going
to
be
the
police
here.
You'll
see
that
mpd
officers
respond
to
traffic
issues,
either
in
connection
to
a
911
call
or
self-initiated
on
the
street.
Once
an
officer
confirms
a
traffic
violation
has
occurred.
They
have
multiple
options.
E
In
order
to
resolve
the
incident,
it
is
important
to
note
that
this
isn't
an
exhaustive
list
of
the
options,
but
ones
that
we
felt
were
most
precedent
to
this
work.
E
In
comparison,
we'll
look
at
the
traffic
control
process,
much
like
the
mpd
process.
Traffic
control
agents
respond
incidents
either
submitted
by
the
community
members,
in
this
case,
via
311
or
self-initiated
on
the
street,
when
submitted
by
community
members
agents,
are
forwarded.
The
work
order
from
a
301
dispatcher
and
officers
arrive
at
the
location.
E
E
The
second
difference
is
that
enforcement
spotlights
the
vehicle
instead
of
the
driver,
as
you
recall
from
the
previous
slide.
Npd
enforces
driving
behavior
and
vehicle
violations
where
a
traffic
control
unit
is
focused
on
the
vehicle
solely
in
conversations
with
traffic
control
agents
and
their
supervisors.
F
F
We
focused
our
analysis
on
equipment
violations
as
they
most
closely
align
with
the
types
of
enforcement
that
council
has
some
jurisdiction
over
the
chart
on
the
right
shows
the
most
frequent
call
dispositions
for
these
equipment
violations.
A
call
disposition
is
the
code
assigned
to
an
incident
to
indicate
how
the
call
for
service
ended.
So
in
most
cases,
software
equipment
violations
resulted
in
a
warning,
but
some
resulted
in
a
ticket
or
the
driver
being
booked
next
slide.
Please.
F
D
F
Because
one
of
the
goals
of
the
staff
direction
was
to
eliminate
racial
disparities
in
traffic
enforcement
and
because
the
city
is
consistently
striving
for
more
equitable
approaches
to
service
delivery.
The
next
couple
of
slides
dive
deeper
into
the
disparities
that
exist
related
to
traffic
enforcement
and
race.
F
F
F
We're
looking
forward
to
further
investigating
what
the
impact
of
recent
changes
to
traffic
stop
initiation
could
look
like.
As
of
october.
2021
police
may
not
initiate
a
stop
when
the
only
offense
is
one
of
the
following,
expired
tabs,
an
item
dangling
from
a
rear
view
mirror
or
an
inoperable
license
plate
light
next
slide.
Please.
F
We
also
looked
at
traffic
control,
citation
data
as
taylor
mentioned.
Traffic
control
does
not
collect
data
about
the
race
of
the
driver
or
vehicle
owner,
so
we
were
not
able
to
achieve
that
level
of
detail
in
this
analysis,
but
generally
traffic
citations
decreased
significantly
towards
the
beginning
of
the
pandemic,
and
while
there
has
been
an
increase
in
citations
since
april
of
2020,
numbers
have
not
quite
returned
to
pre-pandemic
levels.
F
F
In
summary,
traffic
control
saw
an
overall
decrease
in
citation
citations
issued
during
the
pandemic.
Traffic
control
does
not
collect
data
on
the
race
or
any
personally
identifiable
information
of
the
driver
or
owner
of
the
vehicle,
as
that
generally
cannot
be
determined
when
the
citation
is
issued
to
the
vehicle.
E
Inspirational
next
slide,
please
so,
as
promised,
we
wanted
to
circle
back
to
those
limitations.
We
identified
at
the
onset
of
this
presentation
and
to
be
able
to
provide
some
direction
or
some
questions
we
have
for
council
on
how
we
might
be
able
to
proceed
so
first.
We
think
that
there's
an
opportunity
to
reframe
the
staff
direction
to
be
more
open-ended,
so
that
the
community
can
identify
the
characteristics
of
a
alternative
response.
E
E
As
we
know,
there's
multiple
programs
such
as
vision,
zero
and
other
work.
That
really
is
a
part
of
the
complex
network
of
traffic
safety
initiatives
happening.
Currently,
we
do
not
want
to
duplicate
that
current
work,
but
we
do
want
it
to
be
collaborative
with
those
partners,
but
if
council
could
select,
which
aspects
of
traffic
safety
are
most
in
need
of
redesign,
perhaps
even
informed
by
constituent
feedback
or
insight
that
we
would
be
able
to
be
in
a
better
position
to
engage
community
about
alternative
solutions
at
the
end,
we
believe
this
important.
E
E
B
Great,
thank
you
both
so
much
for
this
presentation.
This
is
my
exact
favorite
kind
of
work
is
getting
into
the
information
and
making
sure
that
the
public
is
fully
aware
of
the
landscape
and
the
best
practices
and
so
on
and
so
forth.
So
thank
you
for
for
your
level
of
detail
here.
Are
there
any
questions
or
comments
from
my
colleagues
on
this
presentation.
B
I'll
say
that
maybe
it
will
be
worthwhile
for
us
to
touch
base
to
figure
out
what
concrete
actions
need
to
happen
on
the
council
side
of
things.
So,
let's
make
sure
that
we
do
that
before
friday,.
E
Thank
you
chair.
Yes,
we
can
definitely
do
that.
B
Awesome
great,
thank
you
both
so
much
not
seeing
any
questions
or
comments
from
my
colleagues
we
will
be.
I
will
direct
the
clerk
to
receive
and
file
that
presentation,
and
then
we
will
move
on
to
our
next
discussion
item.
Thank
you
again,
team.
Our
this
item
number
discussion.
Item
number
two
is
receiving
and
filing
an
update
on
covid
19
and
that
will
be
presented
by
our
health
commissioner,
gretchen
music
camp.
Welcome.
Commissioner.
A
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
So
we
have.
This,
may,
I
think,
be
the
last
covet
update
of
the
year.
One
might
have
hoped
that
we
would
have
better
news
to
share,
but
it
still
continues
to
be
a
an
issue
we
are
struggling
with.
So
let's
start
with
that
next
slide.
Please.
A
As
you
can
see,
in
october,
we
had
a
a
little
bit
of
a
dip.
We
had
a
plateau
and
a
dip,
and
I
think
we
were
hoping
that
our
trajectory
would
be
something
like
they
had
seen
earlier
this
year
in
other
states
and
sadly
the
numbers
are
going
up
again
and
we
probably
have
a
timing
issue
in
terms
of
folks
who
got
immunized
early,
having
some
waning
immunity
and
needing
boosters
the
weather
turning
cold
school,
starting
all
factors
that
weren't
necessarily
so
in
some
of
the
other
states.
A
We're
looking
at
and
and
delta
continuing
to
be
very
aggressive
and
we're
seeing
europe
struggling
with
upsurge
in
their
infections
as
well.
A
So
both
minneapolis
and
the
state
of
minnesota
are
considered
to
be
in
high
transmission
category.
A
A
I
think
I
will
stop
there
on
this
slide
and
we'll
go
to
the
next
slide,
looking
at
how
this
school
year
compares
with
last
school
year.
So
the
blue
bars
are
the
cases
from
last
year
and
the
black
bars
are
the
cases
from
this
year,
and
so
you
can
see
to
the
extent
that
we
have
traveled
through
this
school
year,
a
bit
that
for
every
week
there
have
been
more
coveted
cases
in
the
schools.
This
year
than
last
year,
you'll
see
the
last
bar
on
week.
A
A
Health
department
staff
continue
to
work
with
schools
across
minneapolis,
including
a
close
partnership
with
the
public
schools
in
minneapolis.
Public
schools
to
review
cases,
provide
quarantine
guidance
and
to
make
sure
that
things
are
being
addressed
appropriately
when
cases
do
arise,.
A
Now,
luckily,
we
have
new
opportunities
for
school-aged
children
to
be
vaccinated
and,
and
we've
had
about
a
little
over
a
week
of
that
opportunity
and-
and
we
see
people
coming
forward
at
least
initially
to
take
advantage
of
that
and
and
hopefully
that
will
help
us.
Why
don't
we
look
at
the
next
slide.
A
So
when
we
look
at
our
vaccination
rate
to
date,
we're
still
looking
at
12
and
older
at
some
point,
we
may
switch
down
to
5
and
older
now
that
children,
age
5
to
11
are
also
eligible
to
receive
a
pfizer
vaccine.
But
for
now
our
data
is
for
those
12
and
older,
and
overall
minneapolis
has
more
than
80
percent
of
that
population
having
at
least
one
shot
and
close
to
80.
7
of
that
same
group
are
fully
vaccinated.
A
Next
slide,
we
continue
to
pay
attention
to
not
just
our
overall
average
but
each
part
of
our
city
and
and
how
they
are
faring,
and
so,
while
our
overall
vaccination
rates
are
good,
those
rates
do
continue
to
lag
in
certain
areas
of
the
city
and
you
can
see
by
the
coloring.
A
The
lighter
colors
have
a
lower
vaccination
rates.
Most
of
the
zip
codes
are
above
70
percent
and
the
lower
rates
are
in
the
cedar,
riverside
and
the
surrounding
areas
and
in
near
north,
although
we
have
seen
continued
very
gradual
increases
every
week
in
those
areas
next
slide.
A
So
this
is
a
similar
map.
The
first
one
was
of
first
doses,
and
this
is
a
fully
vaccinated,
and
so
we
know
that
a
few
few
less
people
are
fully
vaccinated
than
have
received
just
one
dose
because
it
takes
a
while
to
be
fully
vaccinated,
but
the
same
patterns
are
in
this
map,
as
in
the
previous
one.
A
So,
with
these
rising
rates,
it's
really
important
for
us
to
think
again,
and
this
is
getting
to
be
a
message
we've
heard
over
and
over
and
sometimes
when
we
hear
something
over
and
over,
we
get
numb
to
it
and
but
it's
important
as
we
think
about
the
holidays
coming
up,
especially
with
the
covid
rates
rising.
A
How
can
we
protect
ourselves
and,
as
we
think
about
our
day-to-day
lives
even
without
holidays?
How
are
we
protecting
ourselves
and
our
community,
and
so
it's
advised
that
people
wear
masks
when
they're
indoors
in
public
spaces
with
others,
and
so
that's
when
you're
walking
through
the
skyways,
when
you're
in
an
apartment,
building
and
you're
in
the
elevators
and
in
the
lobby.
A
A
We
are
also
able
to
get
booster
shots
for
those
who
have
had
vaccines.
I'll
have
a
slide,
that's
in
the
particular
about
this,
but
for
all
kinds
of
initial
vaccinations.
There
are
booster
opportunities
and,
of
course,
washing
hands
is
still
important.
Go
to
the
grocery
store.
Come
home,
you
wore
a
mask
wash
your
hands
because
you
know
you've
been
out
and
about
you've
been
pushing
that
cart.
You've
been
doing
all
kinds
of
other
things
and
then
getting
tested.
A
So
that
might
be
something
you
want
to
do
if
you're
going
to
get
together
for
the
holidays
and
people
are
not
going
to
be
masked
or
there
are
young
children
who
are
not
yet
eligible
for
vaccines
present
getting
tested,
it
might
be
offer
some
assurance
and
then,
of
course,
if
you're
feeling
sick
stay
home
and
that's
good
for
whether
or
not
you
have
colbit
but
especially
important
with
cobid,
and
just
as
we
think
about
travel
really,
if
you're
not
fully
vaccinated,
it
would
be
best
if
you
didn't
travel
and
need
to
make
sure
that
we're
taking
additional
precautions,
if
we're
bringing
children
who
are
not
eligible
to
be
vaccinated,
avoiding
crowds,
keeping
that
social
distance
wearing
masks
and
getting
tested
before
and
after
trips.
A
So
that's
a
lot
of
information.
You've
heard
before
it's
information.
We
need
to
continue
to
share
with
everyone
we
can,
because
we
are
all
just
so
tired
of
this.
No
one
of
us
expected
that
this
would
go
on
this
long
and
yet,
in
order
to
protect
ourselves
and
our
community,
we
continue
to
need
to
follow
these
guidelines
next
slide.
A
So
we
continue
to
be
involved
in
vaccinations.
Of
course,
vaccinations
are
occurring
in
many
places.
Some
of
the
new
vaccines
for
children
are
occurring
in
clinics.
The
pharmaceutical-
you
know
hard,
I
mean
not
hardware
stores,
my
goodness.
That
would
be
exciting
too,
but
no
pharmacies
are
offering
vaccines,
lots
of
places
that
people
can
get
vaccines.
A
In
addition
to
those
we
are
holding
some
clinics
in
october,
you
can
see
that
we
held
seven
clinics
and
in
november
we
have
15
planned
we're
partnering
with
schools,
we're
partnering
with
community-based
organizations,
we're
offering
some
vaccines
at
the
davis
center
kind
of
a
walk-in,
and
we
are
also
having
initiatives
where
we're
getting
booster
shots
at
assisted
and
independent
living
sites,
including
six
public
housing
high-rises.
A
This
picture
by
the
way
is
an
event
with
teens
or
four
teens.
Rather,
with
the
black
nurses,
rock
and
community
volunteers
at
henry
high
school
in
october-
and
we
continue
to
be
really
grateful
for
the
help
and
assistance
partnership
with
the
black
nurses
rock
and
with
hennepin
health
and,
of
course,
with
any
community
group
that
has
come
forward
to
help
us
with
an
event
next
slide.
Please.
A
So
let's
talk
about
boosters,
just
a
little
bit,
we
have
learned
when
we
first
got
vaccinated.
We
didn't
know
how
long
the
vaccines
would
would.
Last
and
and
now
we
are
seeing
that
the
vaccinations
continue
to
be
quite
effective
when
it
comes
to
severe
illness
and
death,
but
their
protection
against
getting
milder
cases.
A
Non-Hospitalization
cases
does
seem
to
be
waning,
and
so
the
cdc
and
the
fda
approved
boosters
for
all
of
the
vaccinations,
pfizer,
moderna
and
johnson
and
johnson,
so
for
pfizer
and
moderna.
After
six
months
after
one's
completed
an
initial
series,
if
you're
65
and
older
you're
eligible
for
a
booster
or
if
you're
younger
than
that
and
you
work
in
long-term
care
settings
or
underlying
medical
conditions
or
live
in
high-risk
settings
for
johnson
and
johnson
boosters
are
available,
even
sooner
so
and
for
more
people.
A
So
anyone
over
18
who
had
their
johnson
johnson
vaccine
two
months
ago
or
more
is
eligible
for
a
booster,
and
on
top
of
that
it
is
also
okay
for
someone
to
mix.
So
maybe
your
first
vaccination
was
with
moderna.
You
can
get
a
booster
with
pfizer
with
johnson
and
johnson.
You
can
get
a
booster
with
you
know,
johnson,
johnson,
pfizer
or
moderna,
so
that
that
increases
the
availability
of
that
opportunity
to
be
to
get
your
immunity
boosted.
A
We're
also,
as
you
can
see
here,
repeating
the
information
about
the
public
housing,
high-rises,
independent
living
and
also
working
at
this,
with
the
fire
stations
for
our
fire
employees.
So
they
can
have
their
boosters
as
they
go
out
into
the
community
and
serve
people
who
may
be
ill
next
slide.
Please.
A
I
mentioned
this:
vaccines
are
now
available
for
children,
age
5
through
11.,
and
as
we
look
at
those
school
numbers,
really
the
best
way
for
children
to
be
healthy
and
safe
and
reduce
the
spread
is
to
get
teens
and
children.
Vaccinated
children
who
are
vaccinated
do
not
have
to
quarantine
if
they
are
exposed
to
salmon
with
covid
and
they
won't
have
to
get
tested,
as
often
so
there's
even
benefits
beyond
whether
or
not
they
get
the
disease.
A
Once
if
we
include
that
population
of
children
5
to
11,
that
makes
that
brings
us
up
to
94
of
minnesota's
population
that
is
eligible
to
be
vaccinated.
So
it's
an
important
new
population.
If
they're
vaccinated
that
will
help
us
all
collectively
have
a
much
higher
rate
of
vaccination
and
a
better
group
protection.
A
So
one
piece
of
looking
at
vaccinations
is
to
look
at
vaccinations
of
our
own
employees
and
that
has
been
rolled
out
now
in
two
pilot
stages,
and
so
as
a
result
of
that,
the
convention
employees
at
the
convention
center
employees
in
human
resources
in
the
health
department
and
the
mayor's
office
all
are
implementing
the
city's
expectation
that
you
either
provide
an
asset
attestation
form
that
you
have
received
your
full
vaccine
or
you
get
tested
weekly
and
so
the
next
stage
or
phase
of
that
rollout
will
be
at
the
end
of
november
and
will
include
311
the
coordinator's
office
regulatory
services
and
finance
and
property
services
and
then
by
mid-december.
A
We
are
working
with
hennepin
healthcare
to
secure
some
lower
cost,
cobit
19
test
kits
for
employees
to
test
on
the
job
site.
Otherwise,
we're
asking
people
to
go
to
the
testing
site
at
the
convention
center
or
wherever
else
they
might
want
to
go,
and
we
have
heard
from
72
percent
of
our
city
employees
that
they
have
been
vaccinated.
A
Well,
there
are
some
things
that
we
still
need
to
figure
out.
The
federal
government
has
some
osha
guidelines
and
we're
still
trying
to
figure
out
exactly
how
that
might
affect
the
record,
keeping
me
to
do
and
some
of
the
procedures
we're
using
in
rolling
this
out
next
slide.
Please,
and
so
the
final
slide
on
the
horizon.
A
We
are
looking
to
hire
some
culturally
specific
liaisons.
Just
haven't
been
able
to
get
that
through
the
hiring
process
in
the
city
yet,
but
are
excited
to
have
them
on
board.
When
we're
able
to
do
that,
we
are
also
working
with
the
state
health
department.
A
They
are
engaging
in
an
rfp,
a
competitive
process
to
hire
some
community
engagement,
community
organizations,
and
so
we
are
part
of
their
review
process
and
hope
that
that
will
help
us
have
more
synergy
as
we
as
we
work
with,
whoever
those
grantees
might
be
and
we're
continuing
to
respond
to
community
requests
for
booster
shots
and
vaccinations,
focusing
in
those
target
areas,
and
then,
finally,
because
this
is
our
final
presentation
on
this
topic
for
the
year,
I
just
want
to
thank
the
public
health
and
safety
committee
for
your
partnership.
A
B
Thank
you
so
much,
commissioner,
and
thank
you
for
for
coming
here
month
after
month
to
provide
these
really
important
updates
and
the
information
that
the
public
really
needs
has
needed.
And
so
thank
you
very
much
for
saying
yes
to
to
this
ongoing
series
of
presentations
and
I'm
very
grateful
for
you.
So
thank
you
all
right.
So
councilmember
fletcher.
G
Thank
you
chuck
cunningham,
and
I
wanted
to
really
just
add
my
thanks
to
director
musicant.
I
know
you've,
given
the
city
notice
that
this
will
be
your
last
term
in
this
role,
and
you
have
really
obviously
gotten
us
through
a
very
tough
time.
We
are
still
in
that
tough
time.
So
I
appreciate
the
reminder
of
that
and
I
think
this
presentation
really
hopefully
serves.
G
I
think
people
are
really
struggling
with
at
this
point.
Just
feeling
like
gosh
must
this
be
over
by
now.
It
just
feels
like
people,
people
really
want
it
to
be,
and
sometimes
there's
some
wishful
thinking
that
goes
into
that,
and
especially
if
you
know
for
people
who
are
doing
the
right
thing
and
masking
up
and
and
maintaining
some
distance
where
it's
possible
and
they're
starting
to
see
nobody
around
them
doing
it
they're
starting
to
feel
like,
maybe
I'm
the
one
who's
doing
it
wrong.
G
That's
not
the
case
that
we
actually
still
need
people
to
be
cautious
and
that,
if
you're,
feeling
like
you're
in
the
minority
of
people
in
a
social
setting
or
in
your
building
or
whatever,
who
are
continuing
to
mask
up
and
continuing
to
take,
precautions,
know
that
that's
supported
by
data.
That's
supported
by
our
best
public
health
advice
that,
in
fact,
we
are
in
a
place
where
things
are
turning
the
wrong
way,
and
we
really
do
need
to
be
continuing
to
show
an
abundance
of
caution.
G
And
I
hope
that
this
presentation
adds
to
all
the
other
ways
that
we're
communicating
as
a
city
and
helps
people
feel
reinforced,
that
we
need
to
continue
to
find
the
energy
to
take
those
extra
steps
and
continue
to
care
for
ourselves
and
each
other
and
work
to
prevent
the
virus
from
spreading
further.
So
thank
you
for
this
presentation.
Thank
you
for
your
work
and
I
I
hope
we
continue
to
get
the
word
out
and
that
everybody
in
minneapolis
chooses
to
make
choices
that
make
themselves
and
everybody
else
safer.
B
B
All
right,
I'm
not
seeing
any.
Thank
you
again,
commissioner,
with
that
I
will
direct
to
the
clerk
to
file
that
report.
B
Moving
on
to
our
third
discussion
item
today,
we
will
be
receiving
and
filing
an
update
presentation
on
the
progress
and
continued
continued
effort
of
the
minneapolis
for
a
lifetime
action
plan.
I
believe
that
tina
kendrick
is
gonna.
Kick
us
off
today.
So
welcome
glad
to
have
you.
H
Thank
you,
chair
cunningham,
council
members.
My
name
is
christina
kendrick.
I
use

She
her
pronouns,
I'm
an
engagement
specialist
with
the
department
of
neighborhood
and
community
relations,
otherwise
known

and
I
am
very
very
excited
to
share
with
you
the
work
that's
been
done
this
summer
and
fall
engaging
our
diverse
elders.
I
also
had
the
privilege
of
working
on
this
project
with
gabriella
velaz
alvarado,
who
will
also
be
presenting
with
me.
H
Gabby
started
with
us
through
the
urban
scholar
program
with
another
scholar,
jessica,
herbst,
and
I
want
to
give
a
shout
out
to
jessica.
Hopefully,
she's
able
to
watch
and
gabby
was
able
to
continue
with
this
project
on
a
part-time
basis
after
the
urban
scholar,
program
and
program
ended
next
slide.
Please.
D
H
You,
the
city
of
minneapolis,
has
been
working
for
nearly
eight
years
in
a
focused
effort
to
become
a
better
place
to
live
as
an
older
person.
This
initiative
is
minneapolis
for
a
lifetime
and
was
originally
adopted
by
city
council
in
2013..
H
In
2015
we
were
the
first
city
in
the
state
of
minnesota
to
be
designated
by
aarp
and
the
world
health
organization
as
an
age-friendly
community,
and
proceeded
to
develop
and
implement
a
five-year
action
plan.
Now
that
we
have
finalized
our
five-year
progress
report,
we've
begun
to
update
the
action
plan
for
this
initiative.
H
H
We
began
this
current
process
by
evaluating
how
we
did
over
the
past
five
years
conducted
research
gathered
information
from
internal
and
external
reports
on
aging
explored
best
practices,
but,
most
importantly,
we
conducted
city-wide
engagement
with
an
emphasis
on
our
bipoc
and
lgbt
lgbtq
ai
plus
elders,
we're
here
today
to
present
the
results
and
recommendations
from
this
latest
effort,
and
I
will
now
turn
it
over
to
gabby
to
walk
us
through
the
process
we
used
and
the
highlights
from
our
engagement
efforts
and
subsequent
recommendations
for
consideration
next
slide.
Please.
I
Thank
you
so
much
christina
good
afternoon,
chair
cunningham
and
council
members.
My
name
is
gabby.
I
use
she
her
pronouns.
As
christina
mentioned,
I
was
working
with
her
through
the
urban
scholars
program
this
summer,
and
so
today
I'm
going
to
be
talking
to
you
about
our
engagement
sessions.
So
when
we
went
about
developing
our
engagement
strategy,
we
realized
that,
in
order
to
get
the
best
possible
perspective
of
all
our
diverse
communities,
we
needed
to
focus
on
having
multiple
community-specific
engagement
sessions.
I
So
we
categorized
our
communities
into
lgbtqia,
african,
american,
american,
indian,
southeast
asian,
east,
african
and
latino
communities
because
of
the
ongoing
pandemic.
We
realized
that
not
all
these
engagement
sessions
were
going
to
be
able
to
be
in
person,
and
so
we
planned
for
alternative
methods
of
communication
if
needed.
Unfortunately,
for
us,
though,
a
majority
of
our
engagement
sessions
were
in
person
with
protocols
in
place
and
safety
on
health
as
a
priority.
I
We
had
our
in-person
sessions
with
interpreters
present
to
facilitate
communication,
and
on
two
occasions
we
were
able
to
meet
where
community
was
already
gathering
with
our
african-american
elders.
We
met
with
them
through
urban
leagues
family
day
in
north
minneapolis,
and
similarly
with
our
american
indian
elders,
we
were
able
to
attend
four
sisters
farmer's
market
and
speak
with
our
american
indian
community.
I
We
had
planned
for
an
open
dialogue
with
our
elders
for
them
to
be
able
to
share
as
much
or
as
little
as
they
wanted
to.
We
had
some
guiding
questions,
such
as
what
did
they
enjoy
about
their
experience
in
minneapolis,
and
maybe
what
did
they
not
enjoy
so
much
about
their
experience
living
in
minneapolis?
I
We
had
some
focused
questions
around
the
topic
of
what
did
they
feel
that
the
city
could
be
doing
in
order
to
address
the
issues
within
their
communities,
and
we've
had
varied
responses,
which
I
will
be
detailing
in
a
little
bit
for
our
alternative
methods
of
engagement.
We've
had
two
online
surveys.
The
first
survey
was
geared
towards
our
elder
serving
organizations.
I
We
were
able
to
make
communication
possible
through
some
of
these
organizations
and
in
that
way
too,
we
were
able
to
get
kind
of
an
idea
of
some
of
the
challenges
that
these
communities
faced
and
learn
about
the
challenges
that
also
some
of
these
organizations.
Faced
when
serving
these
elders,
our
second
survey
was
directed
towards
elders
themselves.
I
We
realized
that
not
every
elder
was
going
to
be
able
to
access
this
survey,
but
I
am
very
happy
to
report
that
we
had
over
50
responses
from
our
elders
themselves
and
then.
Lastly,
our
latino
community
was
the
only
virtual
engagement
session
we
had
and
we
had
a
conversation
over
zoom
next
slide.
Please.
I
So
we
heard
a
lot
of
things
from
our
elders
and
I
want
to
focus
on
a
few
of
the
specifics
that
we
heard
from
each
community
with
our
lgbtqia
community.
A
lot
of
the
elders
expressed
a
desire
for
a
community-specific
elder
center.
I
Our
african-american
elders
shared
with
us
about
this
disconnect
between
generations.
I
Many
of
them
wished
for
more
opportunities
to
connect
with
youth,
and
with
that
too,
more
programming
available
in
north
minneapolis,
where
a
majority
of
this
population
resides,
and
there
was
a
unique
subject
of
incarcerated
elders.
I
had
one
elder
share
with
me
that
he
had
recently
been
released
from
a
lengthy
sentence
and
he
was
making
his
way
back
into
society
figuring
out
his
living
situation
and
as
well
too
having
to
deal
with
the
unique
challenge
of
finding
a
job
at
his
age
and
also
with
that
too.
I
His
felony
status,
which
was
another
added
challenge
to
his
efforts.
Moving
on
to
our
american
indian
community,
a
lot
of
our
elders
shared
that
they
were
unable
to
find
secure
housing,
and
this
was
also
highlighted
with
the
ongoing
pandemic,
one
elder
shared
with
us
that
she
had
gone
from
living
with
family
for
a
short
period
to
renting
airbnbs
and
motel
rooms
and
ultimately
not
being
able
to
access
shelters
again
because
of
the
ongoing
pandemic
and
its
limited
services.
I
The
impact
of
homelessness
was
something
that
a
lot
of
elders
touched
on
too.
There
was
increased
feelings
of
sorry
increased
fears
for
their
safety.
One
elder
shared
that,
after
a
certain
hour
of
the
day,
she
was
unable
to
leave
the
house
and
whatever
errands
weren't
run
on
that
day,
she
left
for
the
next
day.
I
This
community
also
shared
that
they
did
not
feel
valued
by
the
city,
and
with
that
too,
they
wish
for
better
representation
in
leadership
positions.
Whether
that
was
a
an
american
indian
representative
or
a
direct
liaison
between
this
community
and
the
city,
our
southeast
asian
community
shared
that
they
didn't
feel
the
sense
of
community
here
in
minneapolis.
I
As
we
learned
in
the
hmong
and
lao
tradition,
there
are
special
requirements
for
laying
the
deceased
to
rest,
and
we
found
that
there
were
no
appropriate
funeral
homes
here
in
minnesota
and,
as
a
result,
this
community
was
going
through
increased
suffering,
both
in
a
financial
sense
and
as
as
one
goes
through
when
laying
a
loved
one
to
rest,
and
they
also
expressed
a
desire
for
a
cultural
center
that
could
be
a
place
of
feeling
for
this
community
as
well.
I
Our
east
african
elders
shared
concerns
about
their
building
safety
and
security.
Meanwhile,
these
elders
lived
in
apartment
buildings
and
they
shared
that
there
was
a
huge
lack
in
security
present
in
these
buildings,
and
so
people
were
able
to
easily
enter
and
access
these
buildings,
which
was
concerning
for
many
of
the
residents
and
these
elders.
I
A
lot
of
them
also
expressed
a
desire
for
navigators
or
representatives
to
aid
in
resolving
legal
matters.
One
elder
shared
with
us
that
he
had
been
struggling
to
afford
his
living
arrangements.
He
had
refugee
status
and
because
of
the
closing
of
many
hennepin
county
offices,
he
was
unable
to
get
in
touch
with
the
necessary
offices
to
resolve
this
issue.
I
Him
and
his
wife
are
now
dependent
on
their
benefits,
as
she
was
recently
injured
and
they
have
no
income
coming
in,
and
so
with
that
too,
they
were
facing
a
possible
addiction,
and
so
many
elders
also
wanted
to
have
more
easily
available
resources
to
them
too.
So
they
weren't
fully
dependent
on
benefits,
as
many
of
them
have
to
our
latino
community,
expressed
that
when
possible,
they
would
love
to
have
more
in-person
programming
and
in
order
for
them
to
access
that
import
in
person
programming,
they
would
have
to
rely
on
alternative
transportation.
I
A
lot
of
these
others
share
that
they
don't
feel
safe
in
public
transportation
and
so
hoping
for
us
to
be
able
to
find
some
alternative
for
them
to
get
around,
and
with
that
too,
more
city-backed
health
and
economic
initiatives
was
something
that
this
community
expressed
next
slide.
Please.
H
Thank
you
gabby.
Are
you
able
to
hear
me
right
now?
It
sounds
like
my
microphone
is
off.
Okay.
Thank
you.
Apologies
thank
you.
So,
as
we
went
into
our
engagement
conversations,
I
just
want
to
mention
that
the
existing
action
plan
really
focused
on
three
priority
areas.
H
H
I
Thank
you
christina.
So
there
were
common
themes
throughout
the
conversations
we've
had
with
our
different
communities,
and
so
we
formulated
some
of
the
recommendations
and
how
we
can
accomplish
these
recommendations
for
each
community,
and
I
will
be
touching
on
a
few
of
them.
I
Of
course,
I
mentioned
the
community
center
that
the
lgbtqia
community
expressed
desires
for
with
our
african-american
community,
we're
thinking
of
expanding
the
living
well
at
home
program
as
one
of
the
programs
that
we
would
have
in
north
minneapolis
skill
building
programs
as
well
for
the
elders
that
might
be
re-entering
the
workforce
and
with
that
to
intergenerational
programming,
to
help
bridge
that
gap
between
the
older
and
the
younger
members
of
that
community,
similar
to
skill
building
programs
and
similar
initiatives
at
shelters
such
as
homeward
bound
for
our
american
indian
elders
and
the
cultural
appropriate
funeral
homes
that
I
talked
about
for
our
southeast
asian
community,
and
with
that
too,
we're
thinking
about
what
a
cultural
center
museum
might
look
like
for
this
community
for
our
east
african
community.
I
Our
current
ncr
community
specialist
has
been
working
to
address
the
housing
and
safety
concerns,
but
in
addition
to
this,
providing
navigation
services
for
legal
proceedings
and
increasing
the
funds
to
fulfill
that
lack
in
service
and
provide
those
resources
to
our
immigrant
and
refugee
communities
for
our
latino
population.
Sorry,
our
community
as
well
provide
these
navigation
services
as
well
for
legal
proceedings
similar
to
the
east
african
community.
I
One
of
our
latino
elders
actually
has
a
temporary
protection
status
and
she
had
a
similar
experience
where
her
benefits
were
no
longer
available
to
her,
and
so
she
had
to
de-prioritize
health.
She
went
as
far
as
having
to
cancel
a
very
important
surgery,
and
so
we
would
like
to
see
more
services
available
to
her,
whether
that's
navigation
services
for
legal
proceedings
or
increasing
funds
for
services
to
this
immigrant
community.
I
H
So,
as
I
mentioned,
we
have
an
existing
action
plan
and
we're
ending
that
five
year
process
and
a
large
majority
of
those
recommendations
are
going
to
continue
as
ongoing
they're
broad-based
recommendations
that
encompass
all
of
our
elder
communities,
but
in
reviewing
our
action
plan
through
the
evaluation
and
report
back
process,
we
realized
that
some
of
the
original
recommendations
from
this
plan
are
just
no
longer
relevant
or
feasible
and,
as
such,
are
slated
currently
to
be
removed
from
the
current
action
plan.
H
I
will
say,
though,
some
of
the
new
recommendations
that
are
being
introduced,
especially
under
our
resiliency,
incorporate
a
different
approach
to
addressing
these
original
recommendations
that
are
currently
being
slated
to
be
removed.
So,
while
these
particular
items
may
get
removed,
they
are
definitely
not
forgotten
next
slide.
Please.
I
So
when
we
were
going
about
figuring
out
the
best
possible
methods
for
engagements,
we
actually
spoke
with
our
own
community
specialists
and
on
the
subject
of
elders,
one
of
our
colleagues
actually
shared
that
they've
always
had
something
to
say,
but
I've
never
been
asked,
and
I
found
that
this
was
very
true
in
all
my
conversations
with
our
older
adult
community.
I
A
lot
of
interesting
conversations,
elders,
love
to
talk,
and
that's
something
that
I
know
for
a
fact
now,
whether
it's
you
know
wisdom,
whether
it's
you
know
personal
experiences
or
you
know,
opportunities
to
share
their
wisdom
and
knowledge
they
love
to
share,
and
through
these
conversations
I
learned
that
a
lot
of
the
elders
had
had
the
similar
experience
of
disillusion
and
really
what
that
means
is
a
lot
of
them
have
had
different
organizations.
I
A
lot
of
them
felt,
like
their
input,
was
not
truly
valued,
that
they
never
saw
the
end
of
that
feedback,
and
so,
with
our
communication,
we
tried
to
be
very
intentional
and
let
them
know
that
those
sessions
we
had
were
important
to
us
and
that
we
were
going
to
do
something
like
that,
and
so
I
think
it's
very
important
that
by
honoring
their
experiences
we
we
respect
our
elders.
I
We
let
them
know
that
you
know
they
are
an
integral
part
to
our
city,
accountability
to
our
elders
as
well,
letting
them
know
exactly
what
we're
doing
with
the
information
they've
given
us
and
how
we
plan
to
use
that
information
to
create
a
better
experience
for
them
and
then
also
too,
involving
the
organizations
that
work
with
those
elders.
They
know
them
pretty
well,
they
they
have
had
better
closer
experiences
with
them,
and
so
it's
very
important
to
focus
on
that
communication.
H
Thank
you
gabby,
so
we
have
some
next
steps.
Our
original
timeline
for
this
project
was
to
begin
in
2020,
which
we
all
know
as
plans
across
the
globe
when
they
were
abruptly
disrupted
due
to
the
pandemic
and
in
minneapolis
the
civil
unrest
after
the
murder
of
george
floyd.
H
Fortunately,
though,
we
did
manage
to
connect
with
over
180
members
of
our
community
elders,
the
breakdown
quickly
is
110
direct
contacts
with
our
diverse
elders,
as
gabby
mentioned,
we
did
some
surveys.
59
elders
participated
in
the
community
survey
and
18
community
based
organizations
participated
in
the
survey
that
was
directed
toward
them.
This
engagement,
I'm
so
excited
to
report
because
I
was
very
surprised,
given
the
barriers
that
we're
facing,
especially
during
a
pandemic,
actually
exceeded
our
previous
engagement
numbers
from
our
first
iteration
of
our
aging
action
plan
by
almost
26.
H
So
our
next
steps
will
be
finalizing
the
engagement
recommendations
report,
which
we
will
be
sending
to
mayor
and
council
offices
this
week.
That
will
give
much
more
detail
into
who
we
talked
to
and
what
they
act.
What
the
elders
were
saying
to
us.
H
We
will
also
continue
to
work
with
our
community
members,
our
stakeholders
and
city
departments
on
the
development
of
actionable
items,
to
address
these
recommendations,
and
we
will
bring
those
action
items
back
to
community
and
then
to
council
with
the
timeline
of
the
end
of
q1
and
2022
chair
cunningham,
council
members.
We
thank
you
for
your
time
today
and
I
want
to
personally
thank
gabby.
She
has
been
an
invaluable
asset
throughout
this
entire
project
and
has
been
an
inspiration
for
me
on
how
I
approached
this
work
this
time.
B
B
All
right,
I'm
not
seeing
any
well
I'll,
just
also
add
my
gratitude
gabby
for
taking
on
this
project
and
doing
such
a
wonderful
job.
This
is
really
great
information
that
is
very
valuable
to
policy
makers
to
be
able
to
hear
directly,
you
help
to
facilitate
community
straight
to
the
policy
makers
and
us
being
able
to
take
that
information
actually
do
something
with
it
is
really
phenomenal
work.
So
thank
you
for
helping
to
facilitate
that
I'll
pause
again
to
see
if
there
are
any
questions
or
comments.
B
All
right,
I'm
not
saying
any!
Thank
you
again
to
the
both
of
you
for
this
work.
Seeing
no
questions.
I
will
direct
the
clerk
to
file
that
report.
Please
and
then
our
last
discussion
item
for
today
is
receiving
and
filing
the
report
on
language
access
for
2020.
I
think
nick
might
be
yep
hi.
What
if
you
want
to
go
ahead
and
introduce
yourself,
you
can
take
it
from
here.
Welcome
sure.
J
Thank
you,
chair
cunningham,
council
members,
good
afternoon,
happy
mondays.
My
name
is
nick
noe
and
I
am
the
ada
and
language
access
coordinator
for
the
city
of
minneapolis
in
neighborhood
and
community
relations.
Before
we
start,
I
do
want
to
say
and
preface
that
I
do
have
a
tendency
to
speak
quickly.
So
if
there
are
parts
that
I
need
to
repeat,
please
do
so
tell
me
next
site.
Please.
J
And
today's
presentation
will
be
an
overview
of
our
interpreting
and
translation
use
and
services
for
2020
how
much
we
spent
as
a
city
the
languages
that
we
utilized
and
the
breakdown
and
interpreting
and
translation
numbers
along
by
service
and
cost.
Also
noting
the
2020
experiences
that
we've
had
with
the
pandemic,
as
well
as
other
events
within
the
city
itself
before
we
move
on,
I
also
want
to
give
a
quick
shout
out
and
a
lot
of
warm
thanks
to
our
urban
scholar,
aisha
abdulaziz,
who
actually
did
the
data
analysis
and
crafted
this
presentation
next
slide.
Please.
J
J
The
plan
outlines
how
to
eliminate
eliminate
language
barriers
by
utilizing
interpreting
and
translation
services
as
essential
and
resourceful
tools,
and
I
would
like
to
give
ourselves,
as
I
say,
a
pat
on
the
back,
because
we
recognize
that
interpreting
and
translation
is
just
a
set
of
tools
and
really
it's
the
intention
of
how
we
utilize
them
to
make
this
more
meaningful
and
more
effective
for
our
residents
and
those
that
do
not
speak
english
or
has
limited
english
speaking
skills
and
just
for
a
frame
of
reference.
Translation
is
a
con
conversion
of
written
transformation.
J
Written
information
from
one
language
to
the
other
and
interpreting
is
also
a
translation
of
spoken
messages
from
one
language
to
the
other.
The
goal
of
the
plan
in
itself
is
to
foster
effective,
timely
and
meaningful
interactions
between
the
city
and
its
diverse
communities,
and
in
that
we
recognize
that,
just
because
we
have
translation
as
a
tool.
J
We
don't
translate
everything
that
we
have,
but
we
actually
work
and
foster
or
put
more
energy
into
how
we
utilize
interpreting,
as
that
interaction
point
between
city
staff
and
residents,
to
ensure
that
we
are
able
to
provide
a
safe
space
to
develop
trust
and
respect
amongst
each
other.
Next
slide,
please.
J
Ncr
took
over
this
the
management
and
role
of
language
access
in
2010,
and
in
that
time
we
have
seen
a
1
000
percent
increase
since
2010,
with
an
average
of
30
percent
growth
annually,
as
well
just
as
a
frame
of
reference.
This
number
is
reflective
of
our
vendor
use
to
provide
interpreting
and
translation
services.
J
How
this
has
grown
over
the
last
decade
is
actually
indicative
of
how
city
departments
have
taken.
This
has
taken
this
work
and
absorb
it
and
provide
it
in
their
program
or
service
area.
Ncr
is
the
stewards
of
the
language
services
vendors,
as
well
as
the
plan,
but
it's
really
the
city,
staffing
departments
that
roll
the
service
out
to
our
residents
here
within
the
city
next
slide,
please
so
on
this
slide
there
are
visuals
breaking
that
presents
a
cross
breakdown
of
language
services
on
the
top
left
is
percentage
of
expenditures
by
service
type.
J
J
J
At
use
costs
or
for
our
vendors
that
are
providing
phone
and
video
remote
interpreting
and
then
interpreting
as
our
schedule
and
interpreters
as
well.
So
bulk
of
the
city's
youth
expenditure
is
in
remote
interpreting
and
those
are
service
line
areas
such
as
311
or
call
center,
along
with
utility
billing
and
other
city
departments
such
as
the
attorney's
office,
mpd,
also
utilizes,
our
remote
interpreting
contract
on
the
bottom
left
hand,
side
is
translation
costs
by
language
which
shows
which
languages
we
have
translated.
J
The
most
of
and
spent
more
of
spanish
somali
hmong
and
aroma
tends
to
be
the
top,
which
is
our
pro
dominant
languages
and
on
the
bottom
right
hand,
side
is
our
interpreting
class
by
language
and
at
52
percent.
Spanish
is
our
top
language
for
interpreting
utilization
and,
along
with
some
mali
aroma,
hmong
american
sign
language,
and
then
we
have
other,
like
categories
other
with
different
languages
as
well.
Next
slide,
please.
J
So
in
2020
we
provided
services
in
36
different
languages.
Some
of
those
include
our
top
languages
such
as
spanish
and
hmong,
but
other
languages
such
as
cambodian,
french,
farsi
and
hindi,
as
well
as
a
whole
as
a
city
we
spent
we
provided
interpreting
in
by
284
hours
and
of
that
2800
hours,
720
was
scheduled
interpreting
and
then
2100
hours
was
remote.
Interpreting
next
slide,
please.
J
We
also
put
an
emphasis
on
american
sign
language
to
make
sure
that
we're
able
to
provide
that
service
in
our
different
settings,
such
as
press
conferences
as
well
as
city
council
meetings
and
then
for
the
other
section
that
two
percent
of
the
other
languages
that's
also
broken
down
on
the
right
hand,
side
to
show
that
we
do
provide
services,
interpreting
services
for
other
languages
as
well,
so
arabic
had
four
hours.
Last
year,
russian
was
at
3.4
and
so
on
next
slide.
Please.
J
J
So
it's
really
up
to
the
city
departments
to
figure
out
what
are
those
interaction
points
where
the
service
and
program
points
that
interpreting
the
translation
might
be
most
effective
and
useful
for
our
city
residents
as
well,
and
we
found
that
the
growth
of
this
program
area
is
really
at
the
forefront
when
we
are
able
to
proactively
plan
for
interpreting
a
translation
use
versus
the
reactive,
which
is
pretty
much
more
of
an
accommodation
or
request
by
the
resident
as
well.
J
So
when
we
have
that
time
to
plan
and
work
with
our
city
partners,
it
makes
us
a
more
equitable
and
inclusive
organization
as
a
whole,
and
this
graph
shows
how
much
each
city
department's
spent
or
for
2020
as
well
ncr
remains
at
40,
because
we
provide
a
level
of
service
to
our
301
department.
With
our
language
lines,
mpd
is
at
13
of
the
250
thousand
dollars
spent
last
year,
health
department
at
15
cpen
at
seven,
and
then
you
will
see
that
other
departments
also
provide
resources
as
one
different
languages.
J
We
we
dealt
with
the
covet
19
pandemic,
and
this
slide
is
just
a
breakdown
of
how
we,
as
a
city,
provide
those
services
in
addressing
the
pandemic,
but
addressing
it
in
a
way
where
we
are
able
to
interact
and
effectively
communicate
with
our
cultural
communities
as
well.
So
in
2020
we
spent
ten
thousand
or
roughly
eleven
thousand
dollars
on,
inter
translation
costs,
seventeen
hundred
dollars
for
interpreting
and
then
roughly
35,
000
and
remote
interpreting
and
then
just
to
note
again.
J
This
does
not
factor
in
the
work
and
dedication
of
our
bilingual
staff,
who
was
also
out
on
the
ground
at
the
forefront
of
the
pandemic
as
well.
So
on
the
bottom
left
corner.
The
visual
graphic
represents
the
amount
of
hours
that
we
spent
for
interpreting,
scheduled
interpreting
and
at
34.5
hours.
We
provided
35.
J
for
34.5
hours
of
interpreting
in
american
sign
language,
eight
hours
in
spanish
11
in
somali
three
in
aroma
and
17
in
hmong,
and
this
is
broken
down
into
various
programs
and
service
areas
such
as
press
conferences,
covert,
community
briefings,
cultural
radio
shows
and
virtual
community
meetings
as
well,
and
the
health
department
really
stepped
up
their
game
last
year,
and
thank
you
to
the
health
department
in
providing
this
level
of
equity
and
inclusion
to
make
sure
that
our
residents
are
served
and
provide
provided
relief
throughout
2020
as
long
along
with
2021
as
well.
J
On
the
right
hand,
side,
you
will
see
that
just
a
sliver
of
their
work
is
captured
in
remote
interpreting
services
through
contact
tracing
as
well,
so
they
made
over
1700
calls
and
of
that
1700
calls.
There
was
39
000
minutes
dedicated
to
interpreting
services,
and
then
you
will
see
a
list
of
where
that
falls
along
in
terms
of
languages
as
well.
J
Next
slide,
please,
along
with
other
events,
that
we
managed
as
a
city
in
2020.
There
was
the
gaap
funding
to
support
our
communities
that
were
affected
by
the
pandemic
as
well,
so
cped
and
led
this
particular
area
as
well.
In
terms
of
how
do
we
provide
resources
out
there
and
doing
it
in
a
way
where
our
residents,
businesses
and
communities
understand
how
to
access
those
particular
resources?
J
J
We
spent
ten
thousand
eight
hundred
and
fifty
one
dollars
for
translation
and
roughly
seventeen
hundred
dollars
for
interpreting
support
and
then,
after
the
murder
of
george
floyd,
we
experienced
a
period
of
civil
unrest
from
the
summer
moving
onwards
to
fall
and
in
addressing
that
we
provided
services
in
multiple
languages
to
address
messaging
messaging
and
information,
concerns
around
community
safety
and
updates,
curfew,
law
enforcement
updates
safety
tips
and
a
very
variety
of
press
conferences
as
well.
The
two
graphs
at
the
bottom
shows
that
cost
by
language
services
for
translation
and
interpreting
translation.
J
We
spent
roughly
two
thousand
dollars
interpreting.
We
spent
five
thousand
nine
hundred
dollars
and
then,
on
the
right
hand,
side
you
will
see
a
breakdown
of
how
we
provided
those
by
language
and
for
civil
unrest.
We
gave
we
spent
about
58
hours
of
interpreting
hours
in
american
sign
language,
15
in
spanish,
nine
in
somali
and
two
in
hmong,
and
with
that
being
said.
That
concludes
my
presentation
and
I
will
take
any
questions.
B
B
All

not
seeing

Thank

so
much

your
hard
work
in
this
particular
area.

last
presentation
for
the

which
we'll
be
getting
a
covet
update.
I
do
want
to
just
pause
again
and
say
thank
you
to
the
staff
of
the
health
department.
B
We
are
so
blessed
as
a
city
to

we
have

done
phenomenal
work,

every
100
year
pandemic.
So
thank
