Let
the
record
reflect
reflect
that
we
have
a
quorum.
I
will
note
that
vice
president
jenkins
will
be
joining
us
late
today
due
to
a
conflicting
appointment.
Colleagues,
our
meeting
today
is
our
markup
session.
The
entire
focus
of
this
meeting
is
to
consider
those
amendments
which
council
members
may
bring
forward
on
the
revisions
proposed
by
the
mayor
related
to
funding
from
the
american
rescue
plan
act
with
the
help
of
our
budget.
We
have
three
prepared
amendments
before
us
today.
The
technical
team
will
be
displaying
the
amendments
on
the
screen
for
the
viewing
public.
B
When
we've
completed
when
we've
completed
action
on
the
prepared
amendments,
I
will
open
the
floor
to
any
further
proposals
that
were
not
done
in
time
to
be
included
in
the
packet.
When
we've
completed
all
amendments,
we
will
then
direct
staff
to
revise
the
budget
accordingly
in
preparation
for
final
action,
which
is
currently
slated
for
our
next
meeting
of
the
full
council
on
friday
july,
2nd
at
9
30
a.m.
B
Not
seeing
anyone
with
any
questions
and
so
we'll
jump
right
into
the
prepared
amendments
with
that.
Our
first
amendment
is
from
council
president
bender.
Could
you
please
go
ahead
and
speak
to
this
amendment
and
I'll?
Ask
the
tech
team
to
bring
up
the
amendment
for
display.
G
Good
morning,
thank
you,
mr
chair.
This
is
an
amendment
that
I
emailed
out
yesterday
evening
and
this
would
keep
the
total
amount
of
funding
allocated
in
the
mayor's
proposal
equal
and
it
is
shifting
funds
within
a
bucket
of
that
proposed
funding
both
related
to
housing.
So
this
would
take
a
total
of
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
from
the
noaa
preservation
fund.
G
That
is
proposed
to
be
two
million
dollars,
reducing
that
slightly
by
moving
the
funds
to
two
different
uses,
focused
on
supporting
renters
at
risk
for
eviction
or
displacement,
which
would
be
legal
services
for
renters
and
housing
court,
as
well
as
some
outreach
and
education
funds
for
partners
that
regulatory
services
has
relationships
with
to
make
sure
that
renters
know
their
rights
under
the
new
off-ramp
that
the
state
has
provided
as
they
work
to
lift
the
eviction
moratorium
that
has
been
in
place,
as
well
as
the
new
city
policies
and
funding.
That's
available.
G
I'm
grateful
for
the
work
of
both
our
cped
director
and
regulatory
services
director
to
help
shape
this,
and,
as
I
emailed,
this
is
not
expected
to
affect
our
ability
to
meet
our
goal
of
noaa
preservation.
Those
are
market-based.
Real
estate
deals
that
have
a
lot
of
variability
in
their
timing.
In
the
past,
when
our
staff
has
been
able
to
put
together
a
noaa
preservation,
naturally
occurring
affordable
housing
preservation
deal.
There
are
funds
that
we
can
access
if
we
have
a
really
great
opportunity
to
preserve,
affordable
housing
in
our
community.
G
Happy
to
answer
any
questions
and
appreciate
the
work
of
a
number
of
council
members
over
the
years
on
rental
protections
and
building
up
supports
for
renters,
including
legal
services,
and
support.
B
Thank
you,
council
president.
Do
we
have
any
questions
any
discussion
from
colleagues
regarding
this
first
amendment
from
council
president
bender
all
right,
I'm
not
seeing
any
discussion.
So
if
there's
nothing
further,
we
have
the
amendment
offered
by
council
president
bender
before
us.
I
will
ask
the
clerk
to
call
the
wrong.
H
F
E
B
C
B
Are
12
eyes
and
that
motion
carries
next.
We
have
amendment
number
two.
Our
next
amendment
is
from
council
member
schrader
council
member
schrader
go
ahead
and
speak
to
this
amendment.
Please
and
I'll
ask
the
tech
team
to
bring
up
the
amendment
for
display.
I
Thank
you
cheryl
lesson.
What
this
amendment
does
is
move
money
from
the
health
department
into
the
neighborhood
community
relations
department.
You
can
see
that
in
the
language
I
sent
this
out
to
all
everyone
last
night,
why?
I
think
this
is
important
to
ncr.
We've
has
been
doing
this
work
for
for
quite
some
times.
I
We've
supported
them
to
do
kind
of
the
senior
services
through
previous
budgets,
and
it
makes
a
lot
of
sense
that
this
would
do
the
exact
same
thing
and
one
other
thing
I
want
to
point
out
that
I'm
really
excited
about
is.
This
will
also
expand,
be
able
to
expand
the
services
that
ncr
has
been
able
to
do
and
fund
with
their
providers
into
historic
areas
that
are
have
been
underrepresented.
So
I'm
excited
that
this
will
expand
what
we're
able
to
do
for
senior
services.
I
I
won't
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
I
think
it
is
pretty
straightforward
and
I'll
kind
of
leave
it
to
my
colleagues.
If
you
have
any
questions
about
it,.
B
Thank
you,
councilmember
schroeder.
Are
there
any
questions
before
I
take
any
questions
on
this
motion?
I
just
want
to
note
from
the
record
that
council
vice
president
jenkins
has
joined
us
with
that
I'll
see.
If
anyone
has
any
questions
for
russian
illustrator
all
right,
I'm
not
seeing
any
questions.
So,
if
there's
nothing
further,
we
have
the
amendment
offered
by
council
members
trader
before
us.
I
will
ask
the
clerk
to
call
the
wall.
J
H
Aye
and
general
record,
I
do
support
the
previous
motion
as
well.
Chair,
ellison,
aye.
B
And
that
motion
carries
our
next
amendment
is
from
council.
Vice
president
jenkins
council.
Vice
president
jenkins,
can
you
go
ahead
and
speak
to
amendment
number
three
and
I'll
ask
the
tech
team
to
bring
the
amendment
up
for
display
and
welcome
to
me.
H
And
thank
you
and
I
believe
it's
already
up
for
display,
but
this
is
an
amendment
that
is
intended
to
support
the
division
of
race
and
equity,
as
well
as
provide
resources
for
a
dedicated
staff
person
to
the
truth
and
reconciliation
process
which
is
intended
to
help
us
as
a
city
to
continue
to
reckon
with
the
the
challenges
of
of
the
past
and
redress
those
through
a
truth
and
reconciliation.
H
Commission.
There
are
recommendations
that
we
will
be
discussing
from
the
work
group
and
they
will
be
providing
us
a
presentation
at
the
next
pogo
committee
meeting.
But
this
these
funds
from
the
american
rescue
plan
would
be
intended
to
to
assist
and
and
building
up
and
blossoming
that
project.
B
I
Thank
you,
charles
and
thank
you,
council
vice
president
for
bringing
this
forward.
I
I
will
be
supporting
this.
I
just
think
that
in
this
kind
of
very
rushed
time
it's
it's
helpful
to
have
a
little
bit
more
information.
So
I
appreciate
you
sending
this
out
in
advance
with
the
500
000.
Could
you
talk
a
little
bit
more
without
kind
of
the
dedicated?
You
said,
one
dedicated
staff
person,
but
I
see
the
difference
between
this
year
and
the
coming
years.
Maybe
you
could
talk
a
little
bit
more
to
that.
Please.
H
Certainly
so
this
year
is,
I
mean,
as
you
know,
we're
halfway
through
the
year
and
and
then
the
subsequent
years
is,
is
to
support
staffing,
but
also
the
the
process
of
truth
and
reconciliation.
The
community
engagement
that
will
be
necessary,
the
development
of
a
truth
and
reconciliation,
commission
and
and
supporting
those
recommendations.
H
I
I
H
B
E
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
I
I
support
this
amendment.
My
question
is
more
about
this
unallocated
pool
of
money
that
everyone
now
seems
to
be
pulling
money
out
of.
Is
that
a
thing
how
much
money
is
in
that
pool?
It
seems
like
everyone's
now
saying
I
want
my
thing,
so
I'm
wondering
if
amelia
can
tell
us
what
this
unallocated
money
is.
Council.
President
bender's
amendment
said
take
money
from
this
and
put
it
into
that.
E
I
E
B
Yeah
yeah,
no,
I
I
have
a
similar
question
and
I
would
ask
amelia
prover
to
come
and
and
speak
to
that
because
we
are
gonna.
I
think
we're
seeing
a
little
bit
of
a
proliferation
of
of
of
this
happening
now,
and
so
I'm
I'm
curious
myself.
So,
mr
prover,
if
you're
able
to
respond.
K
Certainly,
thank
you,
chair,
ellison
and
councilmember
goodman,
I'm
wondering
if
the
clerk
could
pull
up
schedule
eight,
while
I'm
talking,
if
you
can
do
that,
I
think
that
would
help
give
a
visual
to
folks.
K
So
the
the
arp
dollars
that
we
are
receiving
from
the
federal
government,
the
total
amount,
as
you
guys
know,
is
271
million.
We
have
already
received
135
million
0.5
of
those
dollars
we're
scheduled
to
receive
the
the
second
half
of
that
allocation.
Next
may
so
from
a
cash
flow
perspective.
K
We
have
that
135.5
million
in
the
bank.
The
mayor's
recommendations
in
total
are
about
99
million
dollars.
So
when
we're
looking
at
the
amount
of
money
that
we've
received
from
the
federal
government
minus
the
stuff,
that
is
in
the
mayor's
proposal,
that
leaves
about
36.3
million
dollars
remaining
that
we
have
on
hand
at
the
city
that
has
not
been
planned
for
yet
now
the
that
that
is
just
sort
of
the
the
facts:
the
dollars
that
we
have
the
approval
process
that
we're
through
appropriating
half
of
it.
K
I
think
it
will
be
the
work
of
policymakers
to
decide
how
much
you're
comfortable
with
spending
in
phase
one
versus
phase
two
I've
talked
a
little
bit
about,
and
I
know
council
members
have
had
conversations
as
well
about
this
tension
between
getting
needed,
help
out
the
door
quickly
and
reserving
money
for
spending
after
more
public
engagement
has
happened
after
more
clarity
has
been
given
to
us
around
uses,
particularly
the
revenue
replacement
use.
That
is
a
big
part
of
of
the
guidance
and
certainly
something
that
we
have
experienced
at
the
city.
K
So
there
are,
I
think,
pros
and
cons
to
spending
more
dollars
earlier
in
the
process
versus
after
we
have
done
work
on
the
2022
budget
and
have
really
solid
revenue
projections
for
the
next
five
years.
So
so
those
are
sort
of
the
issues
around
spending
more
now
versus
later
the
the
facts
of
the
matter
are.
K
We
have
135.5
million
dollars
of
our
total
271
million
dollars
and
the
remaining
amount
that
we
have
sort
of
in
the
city
is
36.3
and
that
that
is
the
unallocated
amount
that
is
being
referenced
in
some
of
these
amendments,
I'm
happy
to
stand
for
any
other
questions.
B
Thank
you,
miss
prover,
counselor
goodman.
Do
you
have
any
follow-ups,
or
are
you
satisfied
with
with
the
response
we've
gotten
so
far.
E
Well,
I'm
unsatisfied
with
the
process.
To
be
honest,
I
mean
this
has
just
created
this
gigantic
slush
fund,
where
everyone's
now
going
to
race
as
fast
as
they
can
by
the
council
meeting
to
pick
their
pet
projects
and
throw
them
in
I'm
not
talking
about
council
member
jenkins
process
to
be
fair,
the
truth
and
reconciliation
process
is
something
we
would
pay
for
out
of
the
city's
budget.
We're
in
this.
This
is
our
thing.
So
the
fact
that
we
found
this
money
to
use
for
that
process.
E
I
totally
support,
but
I
would
urge
us
to
not
turn
this
into
everyone's
pet
project
in
the
middle
of
an
election,
and
if
I
were
staff
I
probably
would
have
been
much
more
direct
about
what
the
money
is
for
and
is
not.
I
I
am
alarmed
by
what
I
think
is
coming
next,
which
is
just
everyone
picking
their
half
a
million
dollars
to
give
to
whoever
they
want.
There's
critical
needs
all
over,
so
I
think
we
have
to
be
more
planful
about
it
rather
than
just
having
amendment
after
amendment.
E
B
Yeah
yeah,
and
I
also
was
a
little
surprised
by
the
unobligated.
I
will
say
that
council
vice
president
jenkins
jenkins,
sent
this
ahead
of
time.
It
is
the
last
scheduled
amendment
that
we
have,
and
so
I
think
that
you
know
I
I
feel
confident
supporting
it
for
because
I've
been
able
to
see
it
ahead
of
time
and
but
the
but
other
amendments
we
haven't
been
able
to
have
as
much
discussion
around
so
council.
President
bender.
G
Thanks,
mr
chair,
something
that
council
vice
president
had
in
her
amendment
was
an
issue
that
I
wanted
to
raise
later
after
the
specific
elements
came
through,
which
is
an
interest
in
working
together
with
all
of
you
and
staff,
to
understand
what
capacity
might
be
needed
for
program
evaluation
for
the
arba
dollars
overall,
and
I
think,
given
the
amount
of
funds
that
we're
talking
about
and
some
of
the
you
know,
innovative
or
pilot
projects
or
and
the
heavy
emphasis
on
community-based
funding,
which
is
great,
and
I
support,
I
think
it's
worth
asking
now
what
resources
we
have
in
place
for
program
evaluation
and
what
we
need
to
have
in
place
and
if
that
needs
to
be
funded,
to
consider
that
now,
along
with
the
the
allocations-
and,
I
think,
it'd
be
helpful
to
hear-
and
I
just
haven't
had
time
but
intend
to
to
try
to
pull
something
together
again
with
all
of
you
ahead
of
next
council.
G
If
needed,
you
know
just
understanding
what
things
would
be
in
the
purview
of
the
of
the
budget
office
or
the
audit
team
or
the
individual
departments
that
are
administering
the
funds,
because
I
do
think
that
tracking
the
allocation
of
these
funds,
the
expenditures,
what
what
populations
we're
reaching
we're,
having
such
an
emphasis
rightfully
on
race,
equity
and
reaching
our
most
vulnerable
populations,
and
I
think
we
will
want
to
be
able
to
assess
our
progress
and
make
sure
that
we're
tracking,
what's
working
best
to
meet
those
goals.
G
K
So
I
think
those
are
our
really
good
questions
and
I
can
share
a
little
bit
about
the
work
and
thinking
that
we've
done
in
the
budget
office
and
then
I,
I
think,
there's
room
to
probably
explore
this
even
more
with
other
departments,
but
one
of
the
positions
that
is
in
the
mayor's
proposal
to
implement
this
first
round
is
an
additional
staff
person
in
the
budget
office,
and
the
idea
is
that
one
of
their
responsibilities
would
be
in
tracking
these
dollars,
but
also
making
sure
that
we
are
reporting
on
the
outcomes
of
the
programs
funded
through
arp
dollars.
K
One
of
the
requirements
from
the
federal
government
on
arp
dollars
is
to
not
only
do
the
sort
of
regular
accounting
type
reporting
that
we
do
for
those
dollars,
but
also
some
performance
metrics.
K
We
don't
have
all
of
the
detail
on
that,
yet
I'm
expecting
it
in
july
and
august,
but
that
is
what
that
sort
of
additional
fte
temporary
fte
in
budget
is
meant
to
do
to
be
able
to
make
sure
that
we
are
collecting
performance
information
about
these
proposals.
Now
that's
a
little
bit
of
different
flavor
from
a
true
program
evaluation,
and
that
is,
I
think,
a
little
bit
more
program
by
program.
K
I
know
there
are
many
that
include
that
in
the
dollar
amount
and
in
the
proposal,
but
it's
certainly
something
that
we
could
take
more
of
a
deep
dive
on
to
see
if
there
are
additional
supports.
That
would
be
helpful
for
new
programs,
so
the
the
guaranteed
basic
income
is
one.
I
know
that
includes
dollars
and
a
focus
on
evaluation.
K
I
think
there
are
several
in
additional
in
the
cped
world
that
already
include
that
thinking,
but
it's
something
we
can
follow
up
on
and
see.
If
there's
any
holes.
G
G
In
queue,
I
I
also
appreciate
councilmark
goodman's
question
and
your
comments,
mr
chair,
about
just
making
sure
that
we
are,
you
know,
kind
of
taking
a
city-wide
view,
as,
of
course,
we
each
are
working
to
support
the
communities
in
our
wards,
but
also,
you
know
making
sure
that
we
have
a
lot
of
city-wide
policies
in
place
about
geographic,
prioritization,
prioritization
of
populations.
G
B
Thank
you,
council
president.
I
put
myself
in
queue,
and
I
just
this
is
more
for
the
public's
sake,
just
because
I
I
have
these
numbers
available
for
reference,
but
prior
to
the
last
or
we
haven't
yet
voted
on
this,
and
we
will
in
a
moment,
but
I
I
do
sense,
that
their
support,
at
least
for
this
amendment,
but
as
it
stands,
how
much
money
exactly
how
much
money
are.
B
Are
we
going
to
spend
for
this
round
minus
this
amendment
because
we
haven't
voted
on
it
yet.
K
So
the
in
2021
there's
87.8
million
in
22,
there's
4.5
in
23,
there's
4.6
million
and
24
there's
2.2
million,
and
so
that
brings
the
total
over
all
years
up
to
99,
leaving
about
36.3
remaining
on
all
like
unallocated
in
this
round
and
the
the
anticipation
of
an
additional
135.5
million
in
may
of
22..
B
So
this
half
million
that
we're
voting
on
should
it
pass,
would
take
that
87.8
and
raise
it
to
88.3,
and
so
I
just
want
that
to
be
clear
that
we're
we're
we're
talking
about
increasing
the
amount.
B
If
we
vote
on
another
half
million,
you
know
we're
going
to
you
know
we're
going
to
be
at
a
at
88,
our
we're
going
to
be
at
you
know,
getting
closer
to
89
and
we're
going
to
be
just
kind
of
going
up
and
up,
and
so
I
just
want
that
to
be
clear
that
that's
a
council
member
goodman's
point
that
that
we're
we're
we
are
just
simply
increasing
the
overall
amount
that
we're
that
we're
spending
here,
staff
and
working
with
the
mayor's
office,
I'm
sure,
was
very
intentional
about
how
much
money
they
aimed
to
spend
and-
and
so
I
think
it
would
be
great
to
get
an
opinion
for
maybe
from
the
mayor's
office
about
how
much
they
mined
that
we
increased.
B
That
amount
you
know.
Certainly
the
mayor's
office
was
not
agnostic
about
how
fast
we
moved.
There
was
a
lot
of
of
urgency
about
how
fast
we
moved
to
get
this
money
out
the
door,
and
so
I
don't
imagine
that
the
that
the
mayor's
office
or
that
the
city's
departments
who
propose
this
amount
are
going
to
be,
are
going
to
be
sort
of
agnostic
about
about
how
much
we're
spending.
B
If
this
is
the
amount
that
they
chose
and
again
we're
getting
a
little
bit
off
of
item
number
three
and
me
as
much
as
anyone
else.
So
so
that's
not
to
point
the
finger.
But
if
folks
have
comments
about
item
number
three,
I
would
love
to
take
those
comments.
But
if
not,
we
can.
We
can
save
comments
and
I'm
happy
to
call
on
folks
in
the
queue
after
we've
voted
on
council
member
council.
B
Vice
president
jenkins
amendment
so
I'll
check
with
with
council
member
fletcher
and
and
see
if
it's
a
comment
that
you
would
like
to
state
now
or
or
save
for
for
after
this
item
is
voted
on.
B
Okay,
cool
is,
I
see
a
number
of
other
people
in
queue
is,
is
that
is
that,
okay
with
everyone
else
in
queue,
I'm
not
seeing
anybody
speak
up
that
they
have
that
they
want
to
speak
on
item
number
three:
oh
yes,
okay,
cool!
B
So
with
that
and
not
seeing
anything
else
on
this
motion,
then
I
would
ask
the
clerk
to
call
the
role
on
item
number
three.
On
amendment
number,
three.
J
H
H
B
So
with
that,
we
have
concluded
all
of
our
prepared
amendments.
I
know
that
we
have
a
few
other
amendments
being
brought
forward,
but
I
also
know
that
there's
quite
a
bit
of
discussion
in
general,
just
gonna
defer
to
the
clerk
real
quick.
Is
it
appropriate
for
us
to
have
general
discussion
before
taking
up
the
next
amendment,
or
do
we
need
to
have
an
amendment
on
on
display
before
we
can
jump
into
the
rest?
Continue
discussion.
C
Chair
ellison,
I
I
think
that's
up
to
the
body
you
may
want
to
consider
dealing
with
amendments
first
and
then
saving
kind
of
general
discussion
once
the
motion
has
been
made
to
actually
forward
the
resolution
to
counsel
or
to
take
action
on
on
the
budget
itself.
But
you
know
whatever:
whatever
works
for
the
body
is
fine.
B
Okay
with
it,
I
would
like
to
take
up
just
some
of
the
discussion
that
folks
want
to
have
now,
because
I
I
think
that
it
could,
I
could
think
it
could
have.
It-
could
give
some
some
weight
to
the
decisions
that
we're
about
to
make
around
the
amendments
that
weren't
that
weren't
sent
prior.
B
So
if
that's
okay
with
everyone,
I'm
gonna
call
on
the
folks
in
queue
before
taking
up
the
next
amendment,
not
seeing
anyone
jump
up
to
to
to
to
refute
or
argue
that,
so
I
will
call
on
council
member
fletcher.
A
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
I
wanted
to
pick
up
on
council
member
goodman
and
bender's
comments
and
just
kind
of
try
to
frame
up
how
I'm
thinking
about
this
work,
because
I
think
we
actually
have
a
big
responsibility
here.
This
is
happening
in
a
less
structured
way
than
a
lot
of
our
our
traditional
budget
conversations,
and
that
means
it
is
our
job
as
a
body
to
keep
ourselves
accountable
and
to
do
disciplined
work
to
use
this
money.
A
We
absolutely
could
spin
out
of
control
unaccountably
and
start
funding
pet
projects
out
of
this
money
if
we
all
decided
to
support
each
other.
In
doing
that,
we
shouldn't
do
that.
A
I
think
it's
pretty
important
that
we
be
really
focused
on
the
important
purpose
that
this
money
was
allocated
for,
which
is
which
is
recovery
from
a
terrible
pandemic
that
we've
all
lived
through
and
there's
an
awful
lot
of
need
and
there's
an
awful
lot
of
work
to
do
on
that,
and
so
that
we
should
be
looking
at
this
through
several
lenses.
One
is:
is
it
effective
to
that
purpose?
A
Two
is:
is
it
something
we
can
deliver
with
urgency
and
I
think
that's
a
really
important
standard
that
we've
got
to
hold
everything
through.
Is
there
actually
a
plan
if
we
allocate
this
money
for
it
to
actually
get
used
for
that
purpose
in
a
timely
way,
and
the
reason
I
think
that's
important
is
because
this
process
has
had
very
limited
community
engagement.
A
We
saw
very
limited
community
engagement
from
the
mayor
in
his
process,
and
then
we
had
one
hearing
that
20
people
came
to
and
we're
spending
you
know
somewhere
between
80
and
230
million
dollars
here
today,
depending
on
what
we
decide
to
do
as
a
body,
it
should
definitely
be
closer
to
80
than
230,
but
the
those
unallocated
funds
are
available
to
us.
A
I
really
think
that
if
there's
something
that's
not
gonna
roll
out
until
much
later
in
the
year
or
early
next
year,
we
should
be
thinking
about
holding
it
for
phase
two
so
that
we
can
do
more
community
engagement
and
there
can
be
more
community
voice
in
this
work.
So
we
should
be
holding
everything
accountable
to
that,
not
just
our
amendments,
but
also
the
proposals
in
the
mayor's
budget
and
I'll
I'll.
A
Just
signal
for
my
colleagues
that
there
are
items
in
the
mayor's
budget
that
I
am
not
yet
convinced
meet
that
timeliness
threshold
and
should
move
through
in
phase
one
and-
and
I
I
may
have
amendments
on
the
second-
if
I'm
not
ready
to
bring
them
today,
but
I,
but
I
think
it's
worth
holding
everything
to
that
standard-
that
this
can't
be
just
funding
popular
projects,
whether
or
not
we
can
actually
execute
them.
A
This
has
to
be
what's
the
stuff,
we
can
actually
move
to
actually
make
an
impact
for
our
community
and
let's
just
make
sure
that
we're
holding
ourselves
accountable
to
that,
and
I
think
the
amendments
coming
through
that
we've
seen
so
far.
A
A
One
thing
that
I
would
just
remind
everybody
is
that
the
the
phase
two
money
part
of
the
purpose
of
that
is
to
put
us
on
a
glide
path
back
to
recovery,
because
our
economy
doesn't
just
turn
back
on
the
revenue
we
lost
during
covid,
doesn't
just
magically
reappear,
hotels
are
still
at
between
20
and
40
percent
vacant
or
occupancy
depending
on
the
night,
so
we're
just
we're
not
generating
the
kind
of
revenue
that
we
were
and
part
of.
A
The
phase
two
is
is
to
replace
lost
revenue
so
that
we
are
able
to
continue
functioning
smoothly
and
we
need
to
make
sure
we
understand
what
is
being
projected
in
terms
of
need
for
that.
A
So
I
I
wonder
if
ms
kruger
or
anybody
else
could
just
comment
on
sort
of
how,
how
much
of
a
budget
hole
we're
projecting
for
the
next
two
years
to
make
sure
that
we're,
as
we
think
about
phase
two
as
unallocated
funds,
that
we
might
pull
down
for
whatever
right
now,
just
remind
everybody
that
they're
yet
to
be
allocated.
But
that
they
are
actually
filling
a
purpose
in
our
in
our
budget
and
and
in
our
local
economy.
K
Absolutely
chair:
listen,
yes,
and
thank
you
councilmember
fletcher.
For
that
question.
I
I
think
that
there
is.
I
don't
have
specific
numbers
for
the
2022
budget
right
now,
but
I
will
speak
to
the
major
factors
that
we
will
be
dealing
with
when
setting
the
budget
for
next
year.
The
first
is
the
sales
tax
numbers
as
you
referenced
hospitality.
K
K
This
is
a
unprecedented
event,
and
so
we
are
are
forecasting
growth
in
the
sales
taxes,
certainly
from
this
year,
but
the
they
they
will
not
be
at
the
level
that
they
were
pre-pandemic
in
2022,
so
we'll
we'll
still
be
facing
a
hole
in
our
sales
taxes
and
then
to
your
point,
council
member
fletcher.
We
are
holding
open
about
300
positions.
K
So
there
will
be
both
lower
than
usual
revenues
into
2022,
though
we
will
be
growing
and
high
need
on
the
general
fund
to
support
the
work
of
the
city
and
to
start
to
bring
back
some
of
those
positions
and
just
to
to
reiterate
bringing
back
positions
at
a
city
to
pre-covet
levels
is
an
authorized
use
of
arp
funds,
as
is
spending
on
revenue
reduction
and
in
the
city
of
minneapolis
because
of
our
mix
of
revenues,
because
we
rely
on
property
taxes
as
well
as
things
like
sales
taxes
and
permits
and
fees.
K
B
Thank
you
both
councilmember
gordon.
J
Well,
thank
you
very
much
and
I
certainly
appreciate
the
conversation
here
and
supported
the
amendments
that
came
forward.
I
am
wanted
to
highlight
an
amendment.
I've
been
working
on
and
exploring
options
about,
and
I
think
it's
going
to
be
coming
up
later
now,
because
I've
been
working
on
it
with
council
member
osman
to
address
some
critical
needs,
particularly
in
the
west
bank,
cedar
riverside
area
and
even
stretching
into
seward.
J
Now
people
may
recall
that
we
used
to
have
some
funding
support
for
youth
outreach
workers
during
that
kind
of
financial
crisis
and
amendments
that
money
disappeared.
Those
were
some
key
people
who
were
really
helping
with
addressing
the
opioid
crisis,
especially
with
young
folks,
getting
people
regularly
into
treatment
and
out
of
trouble,
and
there
are
still
very
dramatic
and
intense
needs
there.
J
What
I
want
us
to
be
able
to
do
is
either
reallocate
funding
from
somewhere
else
or
maybe
direct
funding
in
a
larger,
unidentified
area
or
use
some
of
the
reserve
money
that
we
do
have
so
that
we
can
help
address
the
critical
needs
in
the
city
riverside
area.
So
I'm
looking
forward
and
hoping
there'll
be
an
amendment
coming
forward.
Today
that
I'll
be
supporting,
but
if
not
that
I'm
something
that
I'll
be
working
on
very
carefully
for
when
this
returns
to
the
council,
maybe
for
an
amendment
there
and
wanted
to
foreshadow
that,
for.
B
Sure
you
councilmember
gordon
councilmember
palmison.
L
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
I
think
that
council,
member
fletcher
really
stated
well
all
of
my
concerns
and
I
just
hope
and
trust
that
we
can
all
hold
ourselves
to
phase
one
money
for
the
rest
of
this
process.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you
so
much
council
member
osman.
M
Thank
you.
I
was
just
waiting
for
the
amendment
that
council
member
gordon
talked
about
and
just
waiting
when
that
will
be
up
whenever
you're
ready.
I
could
talk
about
it.
B
I
think
now
is
is
fine.
Okay,.
M
All
right
well,
thank
you.
I
thank
you
cam
gordon,
for
your
leadership
on
this.
M
M
I
I
take
the
points
of
the
council
members
that
we
should
wait
phase
two,
but
we
have
40
million
dollars
sitting
here
and
we,
the
community,
needs
the
money
now
and,
and
also
there
are
organizations
that
are
able
to
help
the
community
that
have
suffer
the
pandemic
and
everything
else
that
follow
last
12
months.
M
As
I
understand
phase,
two
money
will
not
be
discussed
until
next
summer
and
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
are
addressing
the
issue
and
what
the
money
is
for.
M
M
It's
it's
it's
not
because
we
are
either
allocating
money
for
see
the
riverside
and
this
and
that,
but
it's
a
it's
a
city-wide
proposal
that
that
is
going
through,
that
the
money
that's
going
through
our
cultural
corridors
and
I'm
really
excited
to
you
know,
work
with
you
and
make
sure
that
we
are
getting
this
money
out
of
the
door.
We
have
40
million
dollars
sitting
and
I
don't.
M
I
do
not
agree
that
we
should
push
this
back
on
phase
two
should
be
able
to
address
the
need
of
the
community,
and
you
know
my
community
are
facing
a
lot
of
challenges
and
I
every
council
meeting.
I
talked
about
the
challenges
we
have
in
here
and
I
really
appreciate
your
support
and
your
leadership.
M
M
So
I
appreciate
your
support
and
this
money
will
definitely
help
the
community
and
I
hope,
money
much
more
of
that
will
be
coming
in
future
years.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you,
councilmember
osman.
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
that
councilmember
kano
is
also
in
cube,
but
I
believe
it's
to
bring
an
amendment,
so
I
will
hold
off
on
on
calling
on
her
I've
put
myself
in
queue,
but
also
before
I
make
a
few
comments.
I
wanted
to
allow
miss
kruger
to
make
a
few
comments
just
to
clarify,
I
think
some
some
factual
information
that
that
that
may
have
just
come
up.
So
ms
kruber.
K
Thank
you,
chairman
and
council
member
osman.
I
just
want
to
clarify
a
little
bit
the
expected
timeline
for
the
remaining
discussions
about
arp
funds.
So,
right
now
the
plan
is
to
return
to
the
remainder
of
our
arp
dollars.
This
fall
after
the
mayor's
budget
has
been
released
in
the
sort
of
mid-august,
so
the
the
plan
right
now
is
to
start
that
decision
making
at
the
end
of
this
year,
with
decisions
coming
hopefully
far
earlier
than
than
next
summer.
So
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
that.
K
I
also
think
that
we
should
I
I'm
remembering
right
now
that
the
health
department
has
recently
received
some
grant
funding
that
is
aimed
at
dealing
with
treating
opioid
addiction,
and
I
don't
have
the
details
on
that,
but
I
just
want
to
put
it
out
there.
That
might
be
something
that
we
could
investigate,
and
I've
asked
my
staff
to
take
a
look
about
other
other
sources
of
money
that
might
be
getting
at
the
same
goal.
K
B
Thank
you,
miss
krueger.
I
I
have
a
number
of
colleagues
in
queue
and
I'm
happy
to
get
to
everyone.
I
wanted
to
propose
a
bit
of
an
idea
to
to
maybe
handle
some
of
the
amendments
that
are
coming
up
that
were
not
prepared
prior.
That
council
members
haven't
had
a
lot
of
time
to
digest
or
discuss
or
ask
questions
about,
and
so
I'm
gonna
try
to.
B
All
that
about
a
potential
plan
before
I
kind
of
lay
out
what
I
think
the
next
step
should
be.
I
wanna
just
first
acknowledge
that
you
know
all
of
us
are
here
to
work
hard
on
behalf
of
our
awards
and
and
and-
and
I
think
that
that
no
one-
I
don't
expect
any
of
my
colleagues
to
just
bring
forward
anything
that
is
fluff,
especially
in
times
like
like
we're
living
in
right
now.
B
I
know
that
everything
that
people
are
gonna
bring
forward
is
gonna
be
critically
important,
but
I
also
think
that
due
diligence
matters
and
we
can
throw
a
lot
of
money
in
every
single
direction,
but
without
knowing
whether
that
money
can
get
out
the
door
without
having
a
little
bit
of
time
to
vet,
whether
it's
an
appropriate
use,
which
it
looks
like
this-
would
be,
I'm
not
sort
of
claiming
that
any
of
these
aren't,
but
without
that
time,
to
do
the
necessary
due
diligence
and
especially
with
the
unstructured
nature
of
the
quote,
unobligated
funds,
even
even
the
phrasing
of
unobligated
funds,
is
bit
of
a
misnomer.
B
You
know
these
are
funds
that
I
that
I
expect
staff
very
much.
So
expects
to
obligate
towards
some
use
in
the
in
the
immediate
near
future,
in
in
the
fall
and
so,
and
so
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
that
the
this
this
isn't
a
pool
of
of
free
money
and
that
I
I
talked
about
the
mayor,
maybe
having
opinions
about
us.
B
I
talked
about
the
mayor,
maybe
having
opinions
about
us
going
outside
the
parameters
that
him
and
staff
have
laid
forward.
I
personally
have
no
problem
with
that,
but
I
do
think
that
we
need
to
have
a
bit
of
due
diligence
if
there,
if
there
is
an
appropriate
use
for
us
to
sort
of
swap
money
from
within,
what's
been
allocated.
I
think
that
that's
probably
ideal,
if
they're,
if
it
is
appropriate
for
us
to
allocate
funds
that
have
not
yet
been
allocated.
I'm
okay
with
that.
B
But
I
do
think
that
there
should
be
a
certain
amount
of
due
diligence
and
I'm
sensing
from
my
colleagues
that,
with
the
amendments
that
we're
seeing
just
this
morning
that
this
hasn't
that
people
feel
like
that
that
due
diligence
hasn't
hasn't
hasn't
happened
for
them
or
that
they
don't
know
that
it's
happened.
And
so
I
would
propose
that
we
could
take
up
these
amendments
right
now
and
I'm
not
sure
how
they'll
shake
out.
B
I
don't
think
that
I
would
be
able
to
vote
for
any
other
motions
coming
forward
from
unobligated
funds
in
this
moment,
without
some
some
more
time
to
to
to
do
my
own
due
diligence
and
see
whether
this
is
an
essential
need
that
should
be
added
to
our
overall
budget,
and
so
I
just
want
to
state
that,
and
so
folks
could
risk
having
their
amendments
voted
down
right
now
or
council
members
can
who,
who
have
not
yet
had
their
their
amendments
voted
on
yet
can
I
would
offer
to
take
these
back
up
and
and
basically
do
a
second
markup
at
the
next
cal
meeting?
B
B
We
had
the
one
public
hearing
where
only
19
people
were
registered
and
I
don't
think
all
19
were
available
to
speak,
and
so
I
think-
and
so
I
I
also-
and
I
also
want
to
appreciate
the
fact
that
this
timeline
was
incredibly
fast
in
addition
to
being
a
little
unstructured
and
that
it
wasn't
just
fast
for
council
members,
it
was
also
fast
for
the
public,
and
so
I
would
be
okay
with
council
members
taking
a
little
bit
more
time
to
vet
their
amendments
before
we
vote
on
them
today
and
that
we
can
take
them
up
at
the
next
cal
meeting.
B
So
I'll
I'll
put
that
offer
out
there.
I
hope
that's
acceptable
to
my
colleagues,
but
I
I
will
also
totally
accept
that
folks
want
to
have
their
amendments
voted
on
in
this
in
this
moment.
I'll.
Try
to
put
that
in
writing
in
the
next
couple
of
minutes
here
and
in
the
meantime,
I
will
give
the
floor
to
councilmember
schroeder.
I
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
and
very
well
put
I'm
in
the
exact
same
spot.
I
think
that
these
proposals
well
well-meaning
for
the
awards
that
they
represent.
I
think
to
what's
been
said
from
my
colleagues
before,
like.
I
also
have
areas
of
need
that
could
definitely
use
this
money.
I
think
we
don't.
I
We
don't
get
this
opportunity
to
have
these
large
sums
of
money
and
what
I
would
be
hoping
we'd
be
looking
at
is
how
to
do
better,
not
just
fun,
small
pet
projects
that
will
help
one
part
of
the
city,
but
how
do
we
do
better
by
all
of
our
constituents?
How
do
we
put
this
together
to
have
something
bigger
this
time
that
the
mayor
has
proposed
has
not
allowed
that
and
it
has
and
there's
a
very
good
reason
for
that.
I
We
need
to
look
at
what
budget
hole
we're
going
to
have
the
fact
that
we
have
300
positions
froze
in
the
city,
I'm
really
cautious
about
spending
any
more
money
than
we've
already
talked
about
without
a
lot
more
detail
about
what
they'll
go
into,
because
I
want
to
put
out
that
our
our
city,
workers
have
been
you
know,
being
able
to
been
asked
to
do
new
tasks
on
top
of
the
tasks
they
already
had
and
have
done
an
amazing
job
during
during
this
crisis
and
to
add
new
things
onto
that
list
without
adding
more
staff.
B
Thank
you,
councilmember
trader
council
president
bender.
G
Thanks,
mr
chair,
I
had
similar
thoughts
that
have
been
expressed.
I
do
I
guess
I
just
do
want
to
offer
to
my
colleagues
throughout
this
next
week.
My
support
in
you
know
understanding
what
things
maybe
have
synergy
or
are
covered
with
funds
that
have
already
been
proposed
in
the
mayor's
arba
proposal.
G
I
would
love,
as
other
colleagues
have
said,
to
be
able
to
have
the
chance
to
follow
up
with
the
appropriate
staff
and
departments
to
hear
from
them
about
you
know
what
priorities
they
identified,
that
maybe
didn't
make
it
into
the
first
round
in
the
mayor's
proposal,
or
get
their
assessment
of
of
some
of
the
ideas
that
we're
seeing
in
these
amendments
that
just
came
today
on
the
floor,
so
I
I
agree.
It
would
be
really
great
for
us
to
have
the
time
to
review
these
ideas
with
with
staff,
in
particular
thanks.
B
Thank
you,
council
president
bender
councilmember
palmisano.
L
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
I
want
to
remind
my
colleagues
that
in
the
mayor's
budget
proposal
in
this
one
in
phase
one
there's
and
director
kruver,
please
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
but
there's
1.75
million
dollars
in
youth
and
community
safety
funds
for
grants
to
organizations
to
youth
development
and
opioid
addiction,
prevention
and
treatment
is
included
in.
That
is
my
understanding.
L
I
I
also
just
would
urge
my
colleagues
that,
every
week
or
two
that
we
delay
this
phase,
one
funding
means
business,
is
closing
and
more
residents
facing
housing
insecurity
and
staring
down
a
fiscal
cliff.
The
legislature
already
has
a
plan
in
place
to
off-ramp
the
eviction
moratorium.
L
B
Thank
you
councilmember
paul
masano,
and
I
I
see
that
woodridge
is
here
to
speak
on
the
subject
matter
which
I'm
happy
to
allow,
but
I
also
want
to
want
to
just
say
that
I
don't
think
anybody
is
debating
the
you
know
the
the
the
importance
of
the
subject
matter.
I
think
that
we're
sort
of
you
know
trying
to
decide.
You
know
how
how
we
want
to
proceed
and-
and
while
everybody,
I
think,
is
proceeding
in
good
faith.
B
I
do
think
that
if
everybody
starts
throwing
in
half
a
million
of
them,
unobligated
dollars
towards
their
thing,
that
that
is
that
we're
not
being
incredibly
incredibly
disciplined,
but-
and
so
that's
really,
I
think
the
the
crux
of
the
discussion,
not
a
question
of
whether
the
workers
is
important
with
that
sort
of
disclaimer,
ms
woodridge,
if
you
would
like
to
just
to
speak
on
the
subject
matter,
please
the
floor
is
yours.
F
Yeah,
thank
you,
mr
president,
council.
I
just
wanted
to
follow
up
on
something
that
miss
kruger
was
talking
about.
F
So
the
health
department
has
recently
received
two
different
grants,
one
from
the
minnesota
department
of
human
services
that
is
geared
towards
opioid
work,
and
there
is
an
organization
called
metro,
youth
diversion
located
in
the
cedar
riverside
area
that
is
receiving
two
sub
grants
from
us,
one
to
provide
naloxone
and
training
on
naloxone
and
the
other
to
do
some
youth
prevention
services,
then,
in
that
same
grant
there
is
a
150
000
that
we
have
out
for
rfp
right
now
and
proposals
for
that
are
due
the
end
of
next
week.
F
The
second
grant
that
we've
received
is
the
big
cdc
one
that
is
more
covered
oriented,
but
built
into
that
grant,
as
well,
is
a
bit
of
money
that
we
will
be
rfping
out
later
this
year
related
to
opioid
work.
So
I
just
wanted
to
make
clear
that
we
do
have
some
grant
money
already
in
the
door
that
we
are
using
for
this
purpose.
B
Thank
you
for
that
context,
and,
and
also
just
wanted
to
both,
acknowledge
and
and
hopefully
clarify
for
council
member
palmisano.
I
I
absolutely
think
that
we
still
plan
to
take
up
this
full
to
take
to
to
take
up
this
on
the
full
council
on
july
2nd.
B
But
if
council
members
wanted
to
take
time
to
make
some
amendments
on
july
1,
I
know
that's
a
quick
turnaround
that
we
could
discuss
after
the
fact,
but
I,
but
I
think
that
it
would
be
worthwhile
for
us
to
take
that
time,
especially
given
the
unique
situation
that
we're
in,
but
I
don't
think
we're
looking
at
pushing
the
entire
process
back,
but
I
would
offer
yes,
I
would
offer
that
we
could
make
amendments
on
july
july
1..
B
M
Thank
you
points
well
taken.
I
I
would
like
to
pull
out
my
amendment
and
maybe
circle
back
and
have
more
discussion
about
it.
I
do
have
a
question,
though:
are
we
budgeting
the
rest
of
the
unallocated
funding
for
this
fall,
because
that's
what
I'd
like
to
see
or
is
starting
to
budget
around
next
fall,
the
the
40
million
dollars
that
are
sitting
are.
We
are
we
planning
to
budget
that
if
mla
can
answer
that,
that
will
be
great
thanks.
B
Yeah,
my
understanding
is
that
we
will
be
taking
that
up.
This
fall,
but
but
yes,
let's
have
the
experts
miss
prover
if
you
could
come
and
give
one
more
explanation
of
that.
K
Yes,
happy
to
chair
ellison
and
thank
you
for
the
question
councilmember
osman.
The
plan
is
to
excuse
me
continue
to
plan
for
the
unobligated
amount
that
we
already
have
as
well
as
the
remaining
135.5
million,
we'll
be
getting
it
date,
certain
may
2022.
So
it's
not
a
matter
of
will
we
or
will
we
get
it?
So
we
can
begin
planning
for
spending
the
rest
of
it.
We'll
we'll
need
to
be
careful
about
cash
flow,
but
I
think
that
we
will
be
looking
at
the
entirety
of
the
remaining
arp
dollars.
This
fall.
B
Thank
you.
So
much
have
council
vice
president
jenkins
and
then
I'm
gonna
put
myself
in
queue.
H
B
Here,
ellison
clerk,
I
believe
the
sorry
right
before
you,
you
go
council
vice
president.
I
believe
that
customer
osmond
is
pulling
his
amendment
and
so
just
for
the
tech
team.
I
think
we
it's
okay
for
us
to
take
the
motion
down.
I
don't
think
we're
considering
it
at
the
moment.
H
Oh
thank
you,
chair
ellison,
and
I
I
really
do
appreciate
all
the
commentary
dialogue
that
my
amendment
spurred.
I
do
want
to
be
very
clear
that
a
truth
and
reconciliation
process
is
not
a
pet
process.
It's
a
city-wide
very
necessary
work
that
we
have
to
do.
But
that
being
said-
and
I
and
I
know
all
of
you
understand
and
appreciate
that,
but
regarding
the
the
40
million,
I
I'm
just
curious.
H
You
know,
I
know
we
had
several
cities
come
and
talk
about
their
process
as
well
as
professors
and
experts
from
the
university
of
minnesota.
So
when
are
we
going
to
have
a
community
engagement
process
around
the
unobligated
funds?
Does
anybody
have
a
sense
of
that
or
what
that
process
is
going
to
look
like.
K
K
So
the
the
mayor's
office
has
reached
out
to
our
department
of
neighborhood
community
relations
to
start
drafting
what
that
would
look
like
there,
there's
no
real
set
plan
yet,
but
the
discussions
are
in
the
works.
The
idea
is
that
we
would
start
that
sort
of
later
in
the
summer,
so
that
there
is
some
data
from
back
from
that
engagement
in
time
for
planning
in
the
fall.
B
Thank
you
so
much
so
I
would
actually
like
to
move,
and
I
want
to
thank
the
clerks
for
drafting
this
language,
but
I
would
like
to
make.
I
would
like
to
make
a
motion
to
continue
the
mayor's
budget
proposals,
as
amended
to
the
regular
committee
of
the
whole
scheduled
for
july
1st
2021
at
10
a.m.
B
B
You
know
my
request
and
obviously
the
council
will
vote
for
whatever
we
we
we
want
to
vote
for,
but
I
would
request-
and
this
counts
for
me
as
much
as
anybody
else-
that
we
do
given
the
nature
of
the
timeline
that
that
people
do
have
their
budgets
teed
up
ahead
of
cow,
so
that
we
can
properly
vet
them
and
that
if
and
that
folks
are
gonna,
bring
amendments
on
july
1
that
they
were
not
able
to
send
ahead
of
time.
B
That
they'd
be
moving
money
from
within
the
allocated
budget
and
and
that
we
not
sort
of
run
into
this
this
this
unobligated
funds
discussion
again.
Obviously
I
can't
make
anyone
do
that,
I'm
not
setting
that
as
a
rule
just
making
that
as
a
request
of
the
as
the
chair
of
the
committee.
So
that's
my
motion,
you
know
again,
I
think
councilmember
goodman
said
it
best.
You
know,
with
with
the
cvp's
with
council,
vice
president's
amendment.
It
was
something
we
had
all
seen
beforehand.
B
It's
something
that
we
would
have
inevitably
funded
beforehand,
and
we
all
know
that,
which
is
why
it
was
appropriate
for
me
for
it
to
be
included,
even
if
it
did
come
from
that
unobligated
pool
the
other
amendments
were
not
able
to
be
embedded
before
time
and
council
members
can
still
make
the
case
for
why
the
best
use
or
the
best
source
is
that
unobligated
pool,
but
I
think
that
we
should
all
take
the
time
if
we're
going
to
make
that
case,
we
should
take
the
time
to
actually
make
that
case
to
each
other.
B
So
with
that,
I
want
to
go
ahead
and
make
my
motion.
I
think
that
that
motion
is
before
us
now
and
so,
if,
if,
if
there's
any
discussion,
folks,
please
put
yourself
in
cue.
B
I'm
not
seeing
any
discussion
and
so
I'll
ask
the
clerk
to
oh
councilmember.
Kano
has
a
comment.
N
Yes,
councilmember
ellison.
I
was
just
wondering
if
I
was
going
to
be
allowed
to
bring
my
amendment
forward
today
or,
if
or
if
you're
saying
that
we're
done.
B
You
know
what
sorry
yeah
you're
certainly
welcome
to
bring
your
amendment
forward.
I
will
I
will
take
my
motion
off
the
table
and
bring
it
bring
it
forward
once
once
you're
done
I'll
bring
my
motion
forward
at
the
end
of
the
meeting.
But
if
you
want
to
bring
your
amendment
forward
right
now,
then
yes,
you're
welcome
to
do
that.
N
Okay,
thank
you
so
much.
I
just
wasn't
sure
where
the
conversation
just
kind
of
spiraled
in
all
kinds
of
ways-
and
I
just
wanted
to
be
sure
that
I
got
a
chance
to
present
the
motion-
that
I've
been
working
on
with
community
leaders
on
lake
street.
So,
let's
see
if
the
the
city
clerk
would
be
able
to
pull
it
up
on
the
screen.
I
just
want
to
double
check.
Okay,
great
so
I'll,
read
it
and
then
I'll
be
happy
to
have
a
discussion
on
this.
N
So
this
is
a
motion
to
amend
the
2021
adopted
budget
schedule.
Eight
expenses
by
department
in
the
american
rescue
plan
act
fund
to
decrease
the
amount
of
unobligated
funds
by
350
thousand
dollars
and
increase
the
allocation
to
the
city
coordinator's
office
by
350
000
to
address
the
systemic
inequities
exacerbated
by
the
covet
19
pandemic
through
grants
to
expert
organizations
focusing
on
mitigating
commercial
sexual
exploitation,
to
support
the
city's
blueprint
to
address
and
end
human
trafficking
and
improve
public
safety
in
the
lake
street
area.
N
I
think
many
of
us
realize
that
lake
street
is
the
the
city's
second
largest
contributor
to
the
tax
base
of
minneapolis
when
it
comes
to
commercial
corridors
next
to
the
downtown
area,
and
this
is
statistics
from
the
meet
minneapolis
tourism
agency
that
we
fund-
and
so
you
know,
lake
street
expands,
probably
minimally
five
different
wards
council,
member
lisa,
bender
councilmember
jenkins,
council
member
osman,
myself,
council
member
johnson,
council,
member
gordon
councilmember,
schrader
and
and
and
so
this
particular
work
really
impacts
the
entire
vibrancy
sustainability
and
resiliency
of
that
corridor.
N
N
This
particular
body
of
work
is
a
body
of
work,
and
so
I
just
want
to
address
this
word
that
has
been
used
throughout
today
that
the
word
pet
project.
N
I
think
that
I
just
want
to
be
really
clear
that
addressing
commercial
sexual
exploitation
is
not
a
pet
project
and
if
you
were
a
woman,
I
think
you
would
understand
that
and
if
you
were
an
indigenous
person,
you
would
understand
that
and
if
you
are
a
black
person,
you
would
understand
that,
and
I
share
that
because
those
are
the
populations,
women,
black
people,
indigenous
people
that
are
primarily
and
singular
singularly,
and,
I
would
say
disproportionately
negatively
impacted
by
the
human
trafficking
and
sexual
abuse.
We
see
in
our
city
that
work.
N
Those
challenges
really
show
up
in
very
visible
ways
in
specific
areas
of
the
lake
street
corridor,
but
they
don't
simply
live
in
that
corridor.
They
really
expand
and
connect
to
a
lot
of
the
other
issues
that
we're
facing
with
people
experiencing
homelessness.
N
With
some
of
the
work
that
already
our
colleagues
cam,
gordon
and
councilmember
osman,
pointed
out
relating
to
the
issues
around
chemical
dependency
and
the
opioid.
What
you
know
public
health
concern,
so
I
just
want
to
be
really
clear
with
colleagues
and
the
public
that,
from
my
perspective,
the
amendments
we
have
seen
today
are
not
pet
projects.
N
So
I
just
want
to
be
really
clear
that
I'm
I'm
personally
really
offended
by
the
use
of
that
word,
because
I
see
how
these
issues
impact
our
communities
every
day
and
how
they
impact
specifically
communities
of
color,
undocumented
communities,
immigrant
communities,
communities
that
we
all
claim
to
care
about.
But
for
some
reason,
when
we
get
into
these
dialogues
that
care
just
goes
out
the
window.
N
N
You
know
agent
on
addressing
human
trafficking
issues,
labor
issues
relating
to
forced
in
an
unpaid
labor,
as
well
as
commercial
sexual
exploitation,
and
if
any
of
you
have
been
following
that
work
or
supporting
it
or
meeting
with
june
over
the
last
four
to
five
years,
you
know
that
we
have
a
blueprint
that
we're
developing
with
community
members
with
community
groups
to
feed
this
entire
sort
of
plan.
For
how
we're
going
to
tackle
this
iterations
of
conversations
have
happened.
N
The
the
pandemic
has
significantly
changed
that
terrain,
and
it
has
definitely
made
this
issue
more
difficult
to
root
out
and
it
has
deepened
some
of
those
relationships
that
really
lock
people
in
to
lack
of
economic
resources,
job
stability,
housing
stability
that
forces
them
to
be
in
abusive
relationships
where
they
don't
have
a
lot
of
choices
about
what
to
do
and
where
to
go.
N
When
it
comes
to
getting
food
on
the
table,
finding
a
place
to
sleep
at
night
or
even
trying
to
to
get
a
job
somewhere
in
our
community,
so
this
particular
amendment
is
really
meant
to
support
the
organizations
who
have
been
a
part
of
that
work
and
will
continue
to
be
a
part
of
that
work.
As
ms
kruver
has
outlined.
N
For
us,
this
work
is
forward-looking,
and
so
we
are
anticipating
that
the
blueprint
the
city
will
soon
approve
will
include
the
continued
guidance
and
participation
of
these
local
experts
and
nonprofit
groups
who
are
really
dedicated
to
this
issue.
N
I
can't
tell
you
how
many
times
I've
been
in
rooms
over
the
last
three
to
five
years,
where
people
have
just
yelled
at
me
for
not
putting
enough
money
on
the
table
for
these
organizations
to
do
their
work.
Many
of
you
can
relate
to
that,
as
we
have
conversations
about
infusing
investments
in
the
office
of
violence
prevention.
N
So
I
think
this
this
type
of
work
is
very
long-term.
It
is
about
seeding
plans
and
work
now
that
we
hopefully
will
see
come
to
fruition
anywhere
from
six
months
to
nine
months
to
12
months
down
the
road
by
again
just
planting
the
seed
today,
making
sure
that
people
understand
that
we
are
taking
care
of
this
issue.
We
are
paying
attention
to
it.
N
We
know
that
we
weren't
able
to
be
a
part
of
the
federal
allocation
process
from
our
congressional
district
for
this
particular
body
of
work,
which
does
include
the
city
attorney's
office
and
does
include
hennepin
county,
but
it
doesn't
mean
that
that
we
can't
be
the
first
money
in
to
really
get
a
conversation
going
and
get
people
invested
in
in
believing
that
we
can
and
and
should
be
ending.
N
Some
of
these
you
know
abusive
relationships
when
it
comes
to
how
women
and
and-
and
you
know,
young
adults
and
as
councilmember
jenkins
has
mentioned
many
times.
The
transgender
community
are
treated
in
the
space
of
what
we
would
now
maybe
consider
the
de
facto
red
light
district
of
the
city
which
has
become
lake
street,
and
so,
if
we're
gonna
legalize
prostitution,
great,
then,
let's
do
it.
N
Let's
get
that
job
done,
but
if
we're
not,
then
let's
be
real
about
the
resources
that
it's
going
to
need
to
really
address
how
this
is
happening
in
the
community
in
ways
that
are
harming
people
today.
And
you
know
we're
not
so
much
worried
about
the
folks
who
have
figured
out
how
to
do
it
in
a
safe
way
and
have
figured
out
how
to
do
it
in
a
way
where
they're
consenting
and
where
they're
participating
fully.
But
a
lot
of
the
concerns
that
I
hear
from
business
owners
and
corridor.
N
Stakeholders
like
the
lake
street
council
and
main
street
alliance
and
others
relates
to
the
lack
of
consent
in
what's
happening
on
lake
street,
and
particularly
when
women
and
other
vulnerable
populations
are
heavily
drugged.
And
are
you
know
in
such
vulnerable
positions,
where
they
need
more
of
the
support
from
the
community-based
organizations
to
be
able
to
show
up
in
these
conversations
that
the
city
is
having
with
other
partners.
N
So
I
just
wanted
to
briefly
provide
some
some
background
on
the
work
really
talk
about
the
importance
of
it
really
reframe
the
whole
conversation
from
from
pet
projects
to
really
being
responsive
and
relevant
to
the
communities
that
we
represent,
which
is
why
we
have
geographic
representation.
N
N
You
know
dedication
to
the
work
in
our
specific
districts
and
our
specific
communities
and
and
not
demean
it
in
in
the
ways
that
I've
heard
it
today
so
hoping
to
receive
questions
and
thoughts
on
this
amendment
and
then
happy
to
to
take
a
stab
at
a
vote.
B
Thank
you,
councilman
mcconnell,
I
put
myself
in
cue.
You
know,
I
think
that
you're.
I
think
that
your
your
your
comments
about
semantics
are
are
well
taken
and
we
can
all
be
be
careful
with
with
how
we
use
our
words,
but
I
I
do
also
just
want
to
clarify
that.
B
I
think
that
the
the
the
caution
that
was
laid
out
before
in
which
the
term
project
was
pet
project
was
used,
I
think,
was
less
about
the
importance
of
the
work
coming
before
us,
because,
again,
the
work
that
you're
speaking
on
is
incredibly
important,
and
I
think
that
those
comments
were
more
to
caution
us
about
the
efficacy
of
our
process
and
and
and
given
the
speed
at
which
this
is
happening
and
given
the
relative
lack
of
structure
at
which
this
is
happening,
that
we
risk
losing
our
discipline
if
we
don't
have
a
little
bit
more
due
diligence
around
the
use
of
unobligated
funds.
B
So
I
think
that's
that's
more
what
the
discussion
was
about.
I
know
that
councilmember
osman
pulled
his
amendment
and
will
be
I'm
sure
not
tossing
it
aside.
I
think
he'll
probably
make
his
case
and
and
work
with.
Colleagues,
to
figure
out
what
what
the
next
steps
are.
You
know.
I
think
that
this
work
is
critically
important.
B
But
but
I'm
also
happy
to
take
it
up
for
a
vote,
but
I
do
think
that
if,
if
it's
not
able
to
succeed,
if
this
motion
is
not
able
to
succeed,
I
think
it
will
have
more
to
do
with
people's
concerns
around
the
the
process
that
we're
we're
engaged
in
and
it'll
have
a
lot
less
to
do
with
whether
whether
members
of
the
the
council
consider
it
important
work
with
you
know.
B
So
that
that's
my
comments
and
my
offer
from
my
previous
motion
that
I
will
bring
back
forward
at
the
end
of
the
meeting
was
to
say
that
if,
if
folks
were
worried
that
their
amendments
would
not
pass
today
and
that
they
wanted
to
take
some
time
to
talk
it
over
with
colleagues,
allow
that
allow
us
to
have
some
necessary
constituent
meetings
for
us
to
understand
how
we
should
be
prioritizing
our
our
our
work
and
money
that
that
I
was
that
I'm
offering
to
continue
this
discussion
to
july.
B
For
to
the
regular
account
meeting
on
july
1st,
where
you
could
bring
this
amendment
forward,
then
as
well,
and
so
we
can
take
it
up
now
or
we
can
take
it
up
on
july
1st,
but
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
that.
I
don't
think
anyone
was
intending
to
use
the
word
pet
project
as
a
way
to
demean
the
work.
I
think
that
people
were
rightfully
pointing
out
that
we
should
have
some
discipline
in
our
in
our
process.
Those.
B
N
B
I
H
Thank
you,
chair
ellison.
I
just
want
to
state
on
the
record.
I
would
be
much
more
inclined
to
support
councilman
mcconnell's
motion
on
july
1st
at
the
proposed
continue
committee
of
the
whole
meeting
and
have
more
time
to
understand
how
these
resources
would
be
utilized.
Thank
you.
N
Okay,
thank
you
so
much
so
I
just
wanted
to
double
check
on
on
this
proposed
process
that
you
have
offered
council
member,
ellison,
so
you're,
suggesting
that
we
can
continue
these
conversations
at
the
thursday
july
1st
committee,
the
whole
meeting,
which
would
happen
before
the
council
meeting,
where
we
are
anticipated
to
adopt
and
and
sort
of
formalize
these
budgetary
allocations
correct.
B
Yes,
and
that
would
also
give
you,
I
think,
an
opportunity
to
you
know
we
were
only
able
to
have
three
amendments
prepared
ahead
of
time,
and
I
know
that,
like
you
know,
I'll
speak
for
myself.
I
certainly
had
amendments
that
I
would
have
liked
to
have
brought,
but
didn't
didn't
finish
them
in
time
for
the
for
the
meeting,
and
so
given
the
speed
of
a
process.
B
I
think
it's
fair
that
folks
have
another
week
to
prepare
their
amendments,
so
that
so
that,
so
that
the
body
feels
like
we're
well
prepared
to
make
a
decision
and
folks
don't
feel
like
they're
making
a
decision
abruptly.
N
Yes,
I
understand
what
you're
saying
now
and
I
just
wanted
to
verify
that
I
wasn't
going
to
be
delaying
our
full
adoption
by
another
cycle
which
would
have
been,
I
think,
past
the
fourth
of
july
holiday
and
into
well
into
the
end
of
july,
and
I
just
didn't
want
to
be
the
person
to
be
doing
that.
So,
if
we
can,
you
know
I.
N
I
feel
confident
now
that
if,
if
we
can
take
these
conversations
up
again
on
thursday
july
1st
and
then
as
a
full
body
still
stay
on
track
and
on
timeline
to
adopt
and
approve
these
budgetary
allocations
on
friday
july
2nd,
I
would
be
happy
to
withdraw
my
motion
today
and
to
work
with
colleagues
on
the
specifics
of
it
and
bring
it
back
in
its
maybe
renewed
or
different
version
on
thursday
july
1st.
So
I
appreciate
the
guidance
and
I'm
happy
to
to
do
that.
B
Great,
yes,
that
is
my
intention
and
and
and
and
it
is
also
my
intention
to
still
pass
this
on
the
completed
version
on
july,
2nd
as
well.
So
I
will
take
that
as
a
formal
withdrawal
of
the
amendment.
Thank
you
councilmember
cono.
We
still
have
two
colleagues
in
queue
and
then
I
will
bring
forward
my
motion.
Councilmember
cunningham.
D
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
and
thank
you
councilmember
cono,
for
what
you
have
brought
forward.
It's
an
important
conversation.
I
would
love
to
be
able
to
be
a
part
of
the
conversation.
I
know
that
lake
street
is
much
larger
than
anything
we
have
in
north
minneapolis,
but
I
myself
actually
work
with
breaking
free
and
pride
at
the
family
partnership
to
do
outreach
to
exploited
women
and
girls
along
lowry,
avenue
north.
D
We
do
that
once
a
week
together,
and
so
you
know
I
would
love
to
be
able
to
be
in
conversation
with
you
as
you're,
navigating
the
commercial
sexual
exploitation
work
to
be
able
to
partner,
and
so
we
can
learn
from
some
of
the
work
that
you
all
are
doing
in
south
minneapolis
to
be
able
to
help
bring
some
support
to
black
women
and
girls,
who
are
being
exploited
in
north
minneapolis
along
lowry,
avenue
north
thanks.
G
I
wanted
to
offer
just
some
reflections
generally
to
the
council
and
again
offer
my
support.
G
I
think
it
would
be
helpful
if
folks,
who
have
ideas
for
specific
projects
if
they
haven't
yet
to
check
in
with
the
mayor
and
the
mayor's
team,
to
hear
if
there's
synergy
between
any
of
the
things
that
have
been
proposed.
The
mayor's
proposal
for
the
this
round
of
arpa
funding
is
at
a
pretty
high
level.
You
know,
at
least
as
is
presented
in
the
public
facing
summaries,
and
so
there
may
very
well
be
buckets
of
funding
that
are
possible
or
or
perhaps
even
already
intended
to
be
used
for
similar
purposes.
G
G
G
I
just
do
think
that
that
is
a
more
appropriate
way
for
us
to
create
geographic
priority,
and
probably
you
know,
probably
on
every
issue
there
are
there.
You
know,
is
you
know
those
challenges
and
benefits
in
those
already
designated
geographic
areas,
and
I
think
that
will
help
you
know
empower
our
staff
who
will
ultimately
implement
the
rfps
and
the
contracts
and
all
the
things
that
need
to
go
into
administering
the
funds.
You
know
make
sure
that
it's
aligned
with
the
work
that
they're
that
they
have
underway.
G
G
I
was
able
to
find
within
a
bucket
somebody
that
probably
wasn't
immediately
ready
to
go
right
in
2021
and
there
are
likely
other
areas
where
there
are
small
amounts
of
funding
that
we
can
find
within
the
already
allocated
funds.
So
I
would
really
encourage
folks
to
as
a
first
step
think
about.
Is
there
a
way
to
fund
something
within?
What's
already
been
set
aside,
thanks.
B
Thank
you
so
much
council
president,
not
seeing
anyone
else
in
queue.
I
will
return
to
the
motion
I
intend
to
make,
which
is
to
continue
the
mayor's
budget
proposals,
as
amended
to
the
regular
committee
of
the
whole
meeting
scheduled
for
july
1st
2021
at
10
a.m,
and
so
I
would
I
will
move
that
and
see
if
there's
any
discussion
from
colleagues-
and
this,
I
believe,
would
still
keep
us
on
track
to
pass
final
action.
B
Take
our
final
action
on
friday
july
2nd
seeing
no
discussion.
I
would
ask
the
clerk
to
call
the
role
on
that
motion.
C
I
H
H
B
That
motion
carries-
and
so
you
know
with
that-
we
have
concluded
this
committee's
work
and
we
will
continue
our
2021
budget
revisions
related
to
funding
for
the
american
rescue
plan
act
to
july
to
the
regular
cow
on
july
1st.
B
We
will
then
at
go
to
full
council
to
the
full
city
council
for
the
consideration
of
of
our
final
action
on
friday
july,
2nd
beginning
at
9
00
a.m,
and
given
that
we're
adjourning
to
that
we're
continuing
this
item
to
the
second
meeting
and
that
we're
not
following
this
to
council
for
final
action,
I'll
just
check
in
with
the
clerk
real
quick
to
ask
if
I
should,
if
it's
appropriate
for
us
to
adjourn
this
meeting
great.
So
thank
you
without
objection.
