Good

everyone,
my
name,
is
jeremiah
ellison

I'm
the
chair
of
the
committee
of
the
whole

I'm
going
to
call
to
order
our
regular
committee
meeting
for
thursday
november
4th
I'd
like
to
note
for
the
record.
This
meeting
has
remote
participation
by
council
members
and
city
staff
as
authorized
under
the
minnesota
open
meeting
law,
section

health
emergency.

Thank
you
and
let
the
record
reflect
that
we
have
a
quorum.
We
have
just
one
item
on
our
agenda
today,
in
addition
to
our
reports
of
committees
that
have
met
this
cycle.
The
agenda
item
is
a
report
on
the
contract
awards
or
amendments
that
have
been
approved
over
the
last
couple
of
weeks
by
the
ad
hoc
work
group
established.
Four
american
rescue
plan
acts
related
expenditures.

Actually,
maybe
maybe
budgetary
palmisano
can
speak
to
this.
I
still
don't
know
if
and
when
we
will
have
a
a
proposal
for
round
two
arpa
funding
and,
and
maybe
budgetary
palmisano
do
we
anticipate
that
coming
through
the
budget
process
this
year?
It
would
just
be
helpful
to
know,
as
we
are
coming
up
on
our
first
public
hearing
on
november
16th.

I
will
stand
for
questions
mr
chair.
G
G
I
think
a
way
to
reflect
the
community
feedback
that
we've
heard
about
the
elon
project,
but
not,
as
we
were
trying
to
in
committee,
place
it
with
broader
project
comments
per
se.
So
I'll
explain
this
all
in
a
communication
with
my
colleagues
and
work
with
the
chair
of
the
committee
on
it
first,
I
just
haven't
had
an
opportunity
to
do
so.
These
past
two
days,
it'll
be
ready
for
committee
tomorrow.
Thank
you.
C
Thanks,
mr
chair,
there's:
no
action
from
the
executive
committee
coming
forward,
but
we
did
take
action,
final
action
to
appoint
or
to
approve
mayor
frye's,
nomination
of
alberto
gillespie
to
be
the
interim
civil
rights
director.
Interim
appointments
only
go
through
the
executive
committee
in
the
current
government
structure,
which
will
change
going
forward.
But,
as
I
mentioned
at
that
meeting,
and
I
think
is
worth
sharing
here,
you
know:
we've
had
a
lot
of
turnover
in
the
civil
rights
department,
particularly
in
the
director
position.
C
So
I
hope-
and
I
I
fully
expect
all
of
us
to
step
forward
and
really
support
our
interim
director
in
this
position.
Oh
thank
you
and
the
clerk
is
reminding
me
that
we
actually
did
take
an
important
action
at
executive
committee.
We
do
have
the
one
item
to
forward
to
council,
which
is
approval
of
laborers
363
bargaining
agreement
with
amazing
and
excellent
work
by
our
city
staff,
and
thanks
to
the
leaders
of
that
bargaining
unit
to
for
coming
to
an
agreement
that
was
forwarded
by
exec
for
the
city
council
to
approve
on
friday.
