Hello,
everyone
and
welcome
to
this
regularly
scheduled
meeting
of
the
public
health
and
safety
committee
for
august
12
2021.
My
name
is
philippe
cunningham
and
I
am
the
chair
of
this
committee.
As
we
begin,
I
will
note
for
the
record
that
this
meeting
has
remote
participation
by
members
of
the
city,
council
and
city
staff
as
authorized
under
minnesota
statute,
section
13d
021
due
to
the
declared
local
public
health
emergency.
B
The
city
will
be
recording
and
posting
this
meeting
to
the
city's
website
and
youtube
channel
as
a
means
of
increasing
public
access
and
transparency.
This
meeting
is
public
and
subject
to
the
minnesota
open
meeting
law.
At
this
time,
I
will
ask
the
clerk
to
please
call
the
role,
so
we
can
verify
a
quorum
for
this
meeting.
D
E
D
B
Thank
you,
please
let
the
record
reflect.
We
have
a
quorum
and
can
conduct
the
business
of
this
committee
with
that
colleagues,
the
agenda
is
for
before
us.
Today
we
have
eight
items
on
our
agenda
items.
One
through
six
are
the
consent
portion
of
the
agenda
and
we'll
have
two
discussion
items
following
that
before
we
get
started,
I
just
see
council
member
paul
masano
has
put
herself
in
cube.
Did
you
want
to
go
ahead
and
speak
before
we
moved
into
this?
G
G
The
number
of
the
rca
that
I'm
looking
for
is
884.
We
referred
it
two
cycles
ago
and
the
subject
is
accepting
a
donation
for
the
services
of
dr
matt
bostrom.
To
do
some
shared
community
values,
work
for
policing
and
recruitment
of
officers,
I'm
curious
as
to
why
that
hasn't
shown
up
yet
on
an
agenda.
I
thought
it
would
be
on
the
last
agenda
now
I
don't
see
it
on
this
agenda.
B
Yes,
thank
you
for
that
question.
So
the
with
this
particular
item.
What
we
have
been
doing
is
trying
to
coordinate
the
different
work
that
is
happening
with
public
safety
engagement
efforts
in
order
to
make
sure
that
it
is
all
woven
together
in
a
systematic
way,
and
so
that's
why
we
have
been
trying
to
work
on
that
before
bringing
it
before
the
entire
council.
This
is
something
that
council
member
fletcher
has
also
been
deeply
involved
in
the
conversations
council
member
fletcher.
Did
you
want
to
add
anything
as
well?
A
Yeah
happy
too,
mr
chair,
I
I
actually
think
the
the
content
of
the
research
project
is
something
that
people
will
be
supportive
of.
I
think
that
the
way
it
was
coming
through
siloed
from
the
rest
of
the
research
agenda
of
the
transforming
public
safety
work
and
the
ongoing
work
in
the
coordinator's
office,
I
think
risks
a
kind
of
outreach
fatigue
when
we
have
too
many
community
outreach
topics
on
the
same
topic,
people
being
asked
the
same
questions
too
many
times
by
the
city.
A
A
Obviously
we
have
a
new
coordinator
and
we've
asked
the
coordinator
to
be
involved
in
making
sure
this
is
compatible
with
and
working
in,
in
concert
with
the
items
that
are
already
in
progress,
and
so
we've
asked
for
additional
work
to
to
show
the
compatibility
of
this
with
the
rest
of
the
city's
research
agenda
on
public
safety.
I
actually
think
that
that's
a
doable
thing,
but
I
think
that
the
way
the
rca
was
coming
through
it
reinforces
a
sort
of
negative
siloing
effect.
G
G
B
I
think
that
is
a
reasonable
expectation
to
be
able
to
do
so.
Hopefully
we
will
have
some
of
these
pending
questions
and
concerns
answered
by
that
time.
So
I
think
that
is
a
reasonable
request
and
if
we
don't
quite
get
to
where
we
are
hoping
to
be
in
order
to
have
a
good
outcome
or
good
process
in
terms
of
rolling
out,
this
is
a
part
of
our
overall
research
agenda.
We,
of
course,
can
refer
it
back
to
committee
as
necessary
once
it
goes
before
the
full
council.
B
So
thank
you,
council,
member
palmisano,
for
bringing
this
forward
again.
The
the
content
is
not
it's
not
the
issue.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
a
good
woven
together
research
agenda
that
really
helps
us
move
forward
as
an
entire
enterprise.
So
thank
you
for
that.
Bringing
that
up
today,
thank
you
and
I
apologize
for
missing
your
email.
Sorry
about
that,
all
right.
Moving
to
our
consent
agenda
again,
we
have
six
items.
B
That's
through
the
end
of
this
year.
Item
number
two
is

a

with
metropolitan
state
university
and
the

to
advance
health
literacy
to
enhance
equitable
community
responses
to
copen19
item
number

is
authorizing
the
submittal
of
a

B
Item

This

I
highly

you

not
done
so
so,
please
check
this
out
on
the
legislative

management
site.
There's
lots
of
amazing
work
being
done
in

with
our
neighborhood
organizations
throughout
the
city.
B
F
A
B
Thank
you,
madam
clerk,
that
those
items
carry
on
will
be
forwarded
to
our
full
council
meeting
next
friday.
I
believe
that's
what
it
is
with
that
we'll
move
on
to
our
two
discussion
items
for
today.
Our
first
will
be
receiving
and
filing
a
presentation
from
the
civil
rights
commission
on
its
proclamation
against
gun
violence,
and
that
will
be
followed
by
our
monthly
presentation,
update
on
the
covid
19
pandemic
and
our
city's
response
to
it.
So
first,
I
would
like
to
welcome
kayla
mcconaugh
diera.
B
I
Welcome
hi,
I'm
ashley
gold
and
I'm
on
the
minneapolis
commission
on
civil
rights.
I'm
the
chair
of
the
subcommittee
community
engagement,
but
I'm
just
waiting
for
cindy
devenish,
commissioner
devinis
she
authored
this
proclamation,
and
so
I'm
just
hoping
she's
able
to
get
on
as
well.
Thanks
for
having
us.
J
B
D
Yes,
sir,
actually
I'm
so
sorry
to
interrupt.
This
is
ken
daler
from
the
clerk's
office.
We
do
appear
to
be
having
some
audio
issues
with
the
broadcast
of
the
meeting.
So
I
wonder
if
we
should
just
pause
for
a
brief
moment.
I
don't
know
if
this
is
a
quick
fix
or
what's
going
on,
but
I
wonder
if
we
should
just
pause
for
a
brief
moment.
Yes,.
H
E
D
B
D
B
D
D
B
Great,
thank
you
so
much
all
right,
everybody,
let's
take
it
from
the
top.
We
apologize
for
the
technical
difficulties,
but
we
sounds
like
we
have
everything
straightened
out
so
want
to
make
sure
that
we
get
all
of
this
information
together.
So
I
will
call
this
meeting
to

record
her
as
a
voting
eye
on
that
item
of.

Course
I
100
I'm
okay
with
that.
I
know
she's
having
some
technical
difficulties.
So
so
thank
you

that
all
right.
So
now
we
will
move
on
to
our
discussion
items.
Our
first
item
that
we
will
have
is
receiving
and
filing
a
presentation
from
the

rights
commission
on
its
proclamation

gun
violence,
and
then
we
will
have
following
that,
our
regular
monthly
update
related
to
copied

and
the
city's
response
to
it.
So
I
will
go
ahead
and
turn
it
over
to.

This

I've

very
grateful
to

a
very
exciting
commission
where
we've

just
get
a
lot
of
work
pushed
through
and

support
from
the
department,

our
agenda
item
on
gun

as
well
as
the
african-american
preservation

That
we'll
be

Thank

So

Thank

so
much
miss

Do
you
want
to
go

and
introduce

I
I
J
J
J
Unfortunately,
I've
seen
too
many
or
we
as
a
community,
have
seen
too
many
black
indigenous
people
of
color
and
our
community
lose
their
lives
to
gun
violence.
I
personally
lost
three
loved
ones
due
to
ongoing
gun
violence,
one
of
which
unfortunate
is
my
nephew,
eric
holloway,
who
was
tricycly
murdered
in
milwaukee
wisconsin
in
october
2019.
J
As
of
june
1st
2021,
there
have
been
an
increase
in
gun
violence
in
the
city
of
minneapolis.
For
instance,
a
ten-year-old
child
was
sleeping
in
the
back
of
his
car,
while
his
on
a
vehicle
near
34th
and
morgan.
When
a
bullet
struck
the
child
in
the
head
on
october,
30th
2021,
a
nine-year-old
child
was
shot
in
the
head,
while
playing
outside
on
26th
and
lying
avenue.
North
sadly
may
15.
After
bravely
fighting
for
his
the
child's
life
he
tragically
passed
away.
Friday
may
28
2021
an
eight-year-old
child
was
shut,
shot
and
critically
injured.
J
J
J
The
minneapolis
civil
rights
commission
encourages
all
citizens
to
support
local
community
efforts
that
work
diligently
to
prevent
the
tragic
effects
of
gun,
violence
and
respect
and
value
of
human
lives.
We
encourage
all
responsible,
gun
ownership
and
pledge
to
do
all
we
can
to
keep
firearms
from
wrong
hands
and
to
keep
children
in
our
communities
safe
results
from
the
racial
equity
impact,
accountability
helped
to
provide
democrat
demographics
affected
by
the
gun.
Violence.
J
According
to
the
city,
minneapolis
office
of
prevention,
city
of
minneapolis
health
department,
shooting
victims
in
2021
are
reported
as
fallen
81
male
19
female
83
black
only
white
were
11
3,
unknown
top
age
groups,
17
to
21
city
of
residence,
59
percent,
41
percent,
all
other
cities.
The
data
unravelly
clear
that
minneapolis
black
indigenous
and
people
of
color
have
different
experience
with
gun
violence
than
white
communities.
In
addition
to
the
police
department,
data
journalists,
scholars,
artists
and
activists
have
pronounced
to
be
more
qualitative
and
narrative
data
are
communicative
experiences
with
the
police.
J
I
We
spoke
with
him
about
the
stop
the
gun,
violence.
Proclamation
part
of
the
ask
in
the
proclamation
was
that
mayor
jacob
fry
proclaimed
a
stop
the
gun
violence
day,
which
he
granted
and
declared
july
2nd
2020
of
this
year,
which
we're
very
appreciative
for
but
another
part
of
our
ask,
is
why
we're
here
today-
and
we
are
asking
you
all
to
do
something,
because
you
have
been
doing
something
and
you
have
allies
within
us
at
the
minneapolis
commission
on
civil
rights.
I
So
we
can.
We
can
because
it
is
a
public
health
and
safety
issue,
and
our
intention
with
this
proclamation
isn't
just
a
piece
of
paper
we're
here
to
ask
you,
the
city
council,
to
create
a
gun,
violence,
accountability,
task
force,
working
in
partnership
with
local
organizations
like
the
office
of
violence
prevention,
who
are
already
doing
this
work
and
even
some
local
law
enforcement.
I
In
our
research,
we
found
that
there
was
a
violence
prevention
steering
committee,
but
it
looks
like
due
to
online
records
the
last
time
that
they
met
was
february
2020.
So
maybe
there's
a
way.
We
can
get
that
back
going
and
collaborate
and
not
have
everybody,
be
siloed
but
work
together
on
this
issue,
and
we
want
to
thank
you
for
your
commitment
to
public
health
and
safety
here
in
minneapolis,
and
we're
urging
you
today,
as
our
elected
officials,
to
be
proactive
to
not
wait
until
another
innocent
life
is
taken
too
soon
from
our
city.
I
L
Thanks,
commissioner,
gold,
this
is
chairmae
here.
I
want
to
thank
everyone
again
for
taking
the
time
with
us.
I
want
to
just
urge
the
city
officials.
This
is
a
public
health
crisis,
it's
an
epidemic
and
and
really
concerning
civil
rights,
but
not
only
civil
rights,
also
concerning
the
human
rights
of
the
residents
of
minneapolis
and
much
broader
this.
This,
this
crisis
of
an
epidemic
has
has
really
exacerbated
since
the
pandemic,
and
we
want
to
urge
officials
to
really
put
together
our,
but
we
need
to
put
our
heads
together
right.
We
want
to.
L
We
know
we
have
planning
to
continue
engagement
with
that
office
of
violence
prevention,
and
we
have
reached
out
for
a
meeting
to
discuss
ways
that
this
could
work
out
with
all
of
the
different
pockets
of
work
happening
around
gun
violence.
We
have,
you
know,
understood
that
there
is
a
lot
of
silos
within
and
a
lot
of
people
are
having
this
conversation,
and
so
we
want
to
assure
that
we
can
bring
these
things
together
and
really
put
our
heads
together
and
work
towards
this
issue.
L
L
Along
with
the
office
of
violence
prevention,
we
will
be
meeting
with.
Hopefully
we
have
reached
out
to
the
minneapolis
police
department
representatives
to
be
able
to
start
discussing
some
of
the
gun,
violence,
prevention-
things
happening
there
and
again,
how
can
we
really
bring
these
things
together?
So
so
that's
some
of
the
things
that
we
are
on
our
next
steps
of
ways
to
figure
out
how
this
could
look
and
we're
really
excited
to
put
our
heads
together
and
and
really
put
the
things
happening
at
the
city.
You
know
to
work.
L
We
understand,
there's
also
a
violence,
prevention
steering
committee,
and
I
think
the
last
agenda
item
was
in
february
2020,
and
so
you
know
I
just
want
to.
I
want
to
urge
the
city
officials
to
to
really
represent
that
steering
committee
as
well,
because
you
know
again
with
after
covid
right.
We
have
an
increase
in
gun
violence
since
2020,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
able
to
address
this
and
I
think,
putting
our
heads
together.
L
B
Yes,
well
first,
I
thank
you
for
bringing
that
up.
I
do
want
to
thank
you
all
so
much
for
your
due
diligence
related
to
bringing
this
through
the
city
council.
It's
legislative
work
is
not
easy
work
and
you
all
were
very
do
very
diligent
in
your
work
related,
particularly
for
racial
equity
impact
analysis,
so
very,
very
impressed
and
grateful
for
you
all
being
willing
to
spend
your
time
doing
that
it
helps
to
inform
the
public
in
in
very
meaningful
ways.
I
have
a
couple
council
members
in
queue.
K
Yeah,
thank
you
very
much.
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
bringing
this
forward
you're
absolutely
correct,
and
this
is
a
time
to
get
involved.
I'm
concerned
about
gun
violence
with
the
tragic
increases
that
we've
seen
in
our
city
and
I'm
just
impressed
that
the
civil
rights
commission
has
decided
to
take
this
on
and
come
forward.
K
We
have
are
hamstrung
because
of
state
law
and
federal
court
decisions
and
all
sorts
of
things
about
what
we
can
do
and
what
we
can't
do,
but
I
do
think
that
we
have
to
do
more.
We
sometimes,
I
think,
become
complacent
because
it
feels
hopeless.
We've
certainly
tried
ideas
in
the
past.
Even
our
gun,
buyback
programs
are
things
like
that.
That
could
we've
done
them.
They've
been
somewhat
successful,
we
could
do
those
more.
K
K
B
A
A
Obviously
there's
you
know
even
a
discussion
on
the
ballot
about
reorganizing
some
of
that
work
and
I
think,
that'll
shape
what
that
kind
of
task
force
looks
like,
but
but
I
think,
regardless
of
what
happens
with
the
charter
amendment
and
whether
some
of
those
efforts
get
brought
together
or
not,
I
think
you're
right
that
some
kind
of
a
task
force
some
kind
of
a
focused
effort
that
really
takes
the
new
tools
that
we've
developed.
I
think
there
might
not
have
been
something
to
coordinate.
A
Had
we
done
this
a
couple
of
years
ago,
right,
we've
actually
developed
a
lot
of
new
work,
as
you
mentioned
in
the
violence
prevention
space
that
now,
I
think,
deserves
a
level
of
coordination
and
a
new
look
at
okay.
Now
that
we've
built
you
know
this
set
of
tools.
What's
what
are
the
gaps?
What's
missing?
A
What
are
the
ways
that
we
can
coordinate
and
and
make
this
work
together
better,
and
how
can
we
make
sure
that
our
focus
really
stays
on
this,
because
it
is
creating
just
a
relentless
drum
beat
of
tragedy
that
we
can
never
afford
to
get
numb
to?
We
can
never
afford
to
get
complacent
about
that
that
that.
A
A
You
know
to
really
think
about
creating
some
structure
to
make
sure
that
we're
maintaining
our
focus
on
this
and
I'm
really
interested
in
working
on
this
with
you
to
make
sure
that
we
sort
of
think
of
a
structure
that
can
create
some
accountability.
So
thank
you
for
that
that
call
to
action.
Thank
you
for
highlighting
the
issue
and
thank
you
all
for
your
work
on
this
and
the
many
other
things
that
the
civil
rights
commission
does.
F
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
I'm
you
know
I'll
echo
what
my
colleagues
have
had
said
so
far
I
mean
our
city
has
been
devastated
by
gun
violence.
We've
seen
the
economic
strain,
with
people
being
out
of
work
with
the
pandemic,
having
kids
out
of
school
and
people
out
of
work,
really
exacerbate
these
issues
and
reflect.
F
And
so
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
everything
that
you've
put
into
this
and
getting
more
coordinated,
building
more
infrastructure
to
address
this,
so
that
we
are
not
only
managing
the
problem,
but
at
some
point
feeling
like
we
can
claim
a
real
victory.
Like
we've
saved
a
lot
of
lives.
I
think
that
that's
what
we
are
all
working
towards,
and
just
just
appreciative
to
have
you
all
in
this
fight
and
doing
the
work
and
and
leading
in
in
a
lot
of
ways.
So
thank
you.
B
So
that's
it
for
the
council
members
that
we
have
in
queue.
I
will
just
add
that
you
know,
in
addition
to
this
being
a
call
to
action.
It's
there's
also
some
recommendations
for
some
specific
work,
as
my
colleagues
spoke
to
so
I
think
it
would
be
good
for
us
to
continue
being
in
conversation
about
how
to
actually
operationalize
and
implement
some
of
the
recommendations.
B
This
having
these
kinds
of
concrete
recommendations
from
boards
and
commissions,
such
as
the
civil
rights
commission,
is
the
best
kind
of
work
that
comes
out
in
my
opinion
of
these
boards
and
commissions,
because
we
get
to
take
these
the
feedback
directly
from
community
members
who
are
experts
in
their
fields,
dedicated
community
members
who
are
volunteering
their
time
to
bring
forward
really
thoughtful
proposals
that
can
be
translated
into
policy.
So
I
think,
there's
still
definitely
some
work
to
be
done
here
as
we
move
forward.
B
B
J
J
B
B
I
am
not
seeing
any
thank
you
to
the
whole
team
and
we
will
keep
moving
forward.
This
work
is
critically
important
and
next
up
we
shall
be
moving
to
our
last
discussion
item
for
today,
which
is
receiving
and
filing
our
monthly
update
report
on
cobit
19..
I
would
like
to
welcome
commissioner
gretchen
music
camp
from
the
minneapolis
health
department.
Welcome,
commissioner,.
M
M
So,
as
you
can
see
in
this
graph,
we
have
seen
better
times
in
this
summer
than
we
are
seeing
now,
and
the
delta
variant
has
really
taken
over
it's
a
dominant
strain
in
all
of
the
cases
90.
Some
percent
of
the
cases
are
the
the
delta
strain
and
it
has.
It
is
a
very
effective
aversion
of
the
covavirus
in
terms
of
transmission,
and
so
it
is
driving
up
cases
and
the
cdc
has
identified
a
couple
different
levels
of
concern,
and
one
is
oh
I'll
get
to
that
terminology.
M
M
Nearly
all
hospitalizations
and
deaths
are
now
amongst
unvaccinated
people,
and
these
trends
are
similar
to
other
cities
across
the
country
where
vaccination
rates
are
relatively
high,
and
so
our
lower
rates
of
hospitalization
and
deaths,
at
least
so
far,
we
believe,
can
be
attributed
to
a
higher
vaccination
rate
and
I'll
talk
about
our
rates
on
another
slide,
and
we
are
seeing
more
cases
amongst
unbacks.
The
majority
of
cases
are
amongst
unvaccinated
people
who
are
experiencing
more
severe
diseases.
M
I
think
those
are
the
main
points
I
wanted
to
cover
on
this
slide.
Let's
go
to
the
next
one,
so
talking
about
the
delta
variant,
as
I
mentioned,
it's
really
taken
over
in
terms
of
pushing
all
the
other
variants
out
of
the
way,
and
so
94
percent
of
the
cases
in
our
region
are
delta
variant
and
only
two
percent
of
them
had
been
the
delta
variant
back
in
early
june,
so
things
have
changed
very
quickly
and,
as
I
mentioned,
it's
resulting
in
more
severe
disease
and
deaths,
mostly
amongst
unvaccinated
people
and
breakthrough
cases.
M
M
The
percentage
of
breakthrough
cases
is
only
about
1.7
of
all
cases
and
when
we
look
at
those
folks
who
are
have
been
fully
vaccinated
and
we
look
at
their
breakthrough
cases,
it
represents
less
than
one
percent
of
cases.
So
still,
the
vaccines
are
highly
highly
effective
against
this
variant
as
well.
M
And
so
the
cdc
is
recommended
and
the
city
has
followed
suit.
That
masks
are
recommended
in
indoor
places,
regardless
of
vaccination
status,
and
so
that's
new
science
has
shown
us
that
earlier
variants,
if
you
were
vaccinated,
you
were
not
able
to
release
and
and
became
infected
with
the
with
the
variant
those
earlier
variants.
You
were
not
able
to
spread
to
others.
That
is
not
true
for
delta,
and
so
that's
why
we
have
different
recommendations
today
than
we've
had
in
the
past
with
delta.
M
So
in
minneapolis
overall,
when
we
look
at
people
15
and
older
87
percent
of
minneapolis
residents
in
that
category
have
received
at
least
one
shot
and
82
percent
of
people
in
that
age.
Category
are
fully
vaccinated,
so
we
as
a
city
are
doing
quite
well
better
than
the
state
as
a
whole.
Our
health
department
has
run
clinics.
We
continue
to
run
clinics
and
I'll
talk
about
those
in
another
slide,
we've
to
date
distributed
about
25,
000
doses,
but
we
know
there
are
many
other
places
that
people
are
able
to
get
vaccines
and
so
are
doing.
M
The
last
time
I
presented
to
you,
but
now
we
can
say
that
every
zip
code
has
reached
at
least
50
percent
of
the
people
15
and
older,
who
have
received
at
least
one
dose.
Most
zip
codes
are
above
70
percent,
the
lowest
rates
are
in
the
cedar,
riverside
area
and
surrounding
that
area
and
the
near
north.
But,
as
I
said,
the
numbers
are
increasing
in
those
areas
as
well.
M
M
Our
current
focus,
zip
close,
continue
to
be
on
five
five:
four,
oh
three:
five:
five,
four,
four:
five:
four:
eleven
twelve
and
five
five:
four
five:
four
recent
example
of
a
success:
we
had
a
vaccine
effort
on
the
24th
street
somali
mall
and
we
were
able
to
vaccine.
We
vaccinate
rather
33
individuals
in
partnership
with
black
nurses
rock.
M
M
M
M
Outreach
is
really
important
and
we
know
that
people's
readiness,
their
readiness
to
hear
messages,
the
way
that
those
messages
are
delivered
who
delivers
those
messages.
All
of
those
are
important
in
getting
people
ready
to
be
vaccinated,
and
so
new
in
this
list
is
in
the
middle
there.
The
vaccination
is
protection.
Now
it's
your
turn
videos.
M
M
M
A
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
and
thank
you,
commissioner.
I've
been
getting
a
lot
of
questions
about
vaccine
mandates.
Obviously,
a
lot
of
private
businesses
are
moving
to
requiring
vaccination
or
proof
of
vaccination
in
order
to
attend
events
or
participate
in
some
kinds
of
activities.
I'm
curious
I've
been
hearing
a
lot
from
businesses
that
they
feel
like
it's
hard
to.
A
Enforce
themselves
or
to
know
what
they're
able
to
do
that
would
be
helpful
if
we
had
a
uniform
policy,
I'm
curious,
if
that's
something
we're
exploring
and
then
I
know
I've
been
getting
a
lot
of
questions
too
about
a
requirement
for
municipal
employees
following
the
state's
announcement
that
they're
enacting
such
a
requirement
for
state
employees.
I
wonder
if
you
can
comment
on
those
two
policies
and
and
where
we
are
with
those.
M
There
aren't
a
lot
of
places
that
have
done,
or
there
aren't,
to
my
knowledge,
places
that
have
fully
implemented
the
notion
of
requiring
vaccine
across
the
community.
Folks
look
to
new
york
city.
I
don't
believe
they
have
fully
implemented
their
ideas
yet,
and
so
we
are
certainly
watching
and
learning
from
other
communities
and
in
how
that
plays
out
there
and
and
what
we.
What
what
we
might
be
able
to
learn
from
that.
M
As
you
noted,
the
state
yesterday
did
issue
expectations
for
their
employees
that
they
be
tested
regularly
regularly
unless
they
are
vaccinated,
and
so
we
are
as
a
city
working
with
hr
and
in
elected
leaders,
the
mayor's
office
and
others
to
see
what
we
can
learn
from
that
approach
and
see
how
it
might
be
appropriate
to
apply
it
here.
And
so
I
think
we
can
look
for
some
continued
conversation,
but
hopefully
some
recommended
action
in
the
not
too
distant
future,
especially
related
to.
A
Just
one,
I
guess,
thank
you,
the
I
guess
I'm
curious.
If
I
know
our
our
state
of
emergency
is
set
to
expire
in
the
not
too
distant
future,
so
we
need
to
start
thinking
about
making
a
decision
about
that.
In
your
view,
looking
at
the
trends
is
this
or
do
we
look
like
we're,
headed
for
a
fall
where
we
need
to
maintain
the
state
of
emergency
to
continue
emergency
regulations
like
masking
in
municipal
buildings
and
others
that
we've
put
in
place
recently.
M
B
Great,
thank
you
so
much
say
the
numbers
are
very
disappointing.
You
know,
and-
and
this
is
so
much
bigger
than
just
minneapolis
with
what
we're
dealing
with
here
and
but
our
vaccination
numbers
are
looking
really
good
going
up
and
up
having
every
zip
code
having
at
least
50
of
folks
having
at
least
one
shot
is
incredibly
impressive
and
reflective
of
the
incredibly
hard
work
and
smart
work
that
your
department
has
been
doing
under
your
leadership.
So
thank
you
for
that.
B
I
know
that
when
we're
having
when
we're
having
a
disappointing
setback
like
what
we're
in
now,
we
can
feel
like
the
the
hard
work
isn't
being
seen,
but
I
want
you
to
know
that
it
is
being
seen
you
could.
Please
pass
it
along
to
your
team
as
well,
that
the
the
work
is
appreciated
is
life-saving
and
I'm
excited
we
just
so.
My
colleagues
are
aware
in
case
it
may
be
slipped
through
today.
B
On
the
consent
agenda,
we
actually
approved
some
additional
revenue
related
to
our
health
department,
helping
support,
minneapolis
public
schools
with
their
coveted
19
contact
contact,
tracing
efforts,
because
we
know
that
kids
under
12
can't
get
the
vaccine.
Yet
and
we
are
seeing
a
huge
spike
in
children
who
are
getting
sick,
and
so
we
can't
we
can't
rest.
You
know
we
can't
feel
like
great
feel
like
we're
done
pandemic
over,
because
those
numbers
show
us
very
much
so
that
that
is
not
the
case.
B
So
you
know
thank
you,
commissioner,
for
all
of
your
work,
and
I
will
continue
to
boost
signal
all
of
the
efforts
and
opportunities
in
my
newsletter
as
a
council
member
at
my
social
media,
to
be
able
to
make
sure
that
my
constituents
and
and
followers
more
broadly,
are
aware
of
the
opportunities
and
the
needs.
So
thank
you.
So
much
again
are
there
any
other
questions
or
comments
from
my
colleagues
all
right,
I'm
not
seeing
any.
